Sometimes timing is everything. The Oct. 1 launch of HealthCare.gov put problems with federal IT procurement and project management in the spotlight like never before. Now some lawmakers are trying to expedite an overhaul of federal acquisition rules.
And they have ready-made legislation at hand that is designed to improve accountability and training for federal CIOs and IT procurement officers. The Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act, backed by Reps. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), passed the House as part of the defense authorization bill in June. Now, FITARA is being proposed as an amendment to the defense bill being debated in the Senate.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) has proposed an amendment to the authorization measure that contains most of the House version of FITARA .
"The problems with the Affordable Care Act website highlight the need for a larger effort to upgrade our information technology infrastructure," Shaheen said in a statement. "What we're doing right now is outdated, expensive and inefficient. We have to upgrade the way we do business, boost accountability and oversight, and put in place the right kind of federal IT infrastructure for the future, and we have to do it now."
"I share the senator's view that HealthCare.gov should serve as a motivator for all members to work together in a bipartisan and bicameral fashion to finally modernize the laws governing federal IT acquisition," Connolly told FCW in a statement.
The data center consolidation section of FITARA was introduced as a separate amendment to the Senate bill by Sens. Tom Carper (D-Del.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), chairman and ranking member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, respectively.
Taken together, the two amendments mirror the version of FITARA passed by the House.
Separately, Sens. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) and Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) have proposed an amendment that would add only FITARA'S enhanced CIO authorities to the defense bill.
President Barack Obama has not weighed in on FITARA specifically, but in the wake of the HealthCare.gov debacle, he has spoken publicly about the need to reform IT procurement and management.
"There is a larger problem that I probably -- [speaking] personally, but also as the administration -- could have identified earlier, and that is the way the federal government does procurement and does IT is just generally not very efficient," Obama said at a Nov. 19 business event. "In fact, there's probably no bigger gap between the private sector and the public sector than IT. So what we probably needed to do on the front end was to blow up how we procure for IT, especially on a system this complicated. We did not do that successfully. Now, we are getting it fixed, but it would have been better to do it on the front end rather than the back end."

The outgoing speaker helped push forward data and transparency measures that have opened up the House of Representatives to the American people.
The Census Bureau announced plans to fold in new technology and third party data into its 2020 population count, but questions remain about the viability of the Bureau's enterprise IT.
A technology roadmap can help agencies reap the benefits FITARA has to offer. Here are the four stages of a successful effort.
In the newest Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, feds show they're feeling better than they have over the past few years – but there's still room for improvement, especially in mission-critical IT.
The General Services Administration's Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions contract will anchor the agency's NS 2020 telecommunications strategy.
House and Senate both approve a measure to maintain funding at fiscal 2015 levels through Dec. 11.
The aviation regulator missed a Congressional deadline to develop rules of the sky-ways for drones.
Agency heads, acquisition officers and even CIOs don't need to be hard-core techies. FCW's four-part look at the expertise that's really required to make federal IT run.
FCW recognizes 14 individuals having an outsized impact early in their careers.
IT has always taken the back seat to all the agencies in the goverment, the put our equipment in closets with no air or heat ventalation. The give us server rooms that are not efficient or have the power to keep up with the equipment. They put our IT people in tight squeeze rooms with surplus or excess equipment and expect them to do good inventory when all the equipment is bunched up in tight spaces. As for races or money they are at the bottom of most of there agencies because by golly the IT guy or gal can not make more then my officer or clerk what do they know, they only give me a pc that works by itself, that is the comments that we get from ignorant people whom do not have a clue how pc or server work, who has to build them, install all the information keep up with it and make sure they just see that there pc or data is there the next day up and running. It would be nice to get that credit and recognition, not have to work on our own time, be able to get comp time or over time pay when we stay late to take care of issues and problems, updates on all there equipment. I would like to see some bosses with balls that can make better decisions and back us up when we are right.

N.Y. Giants 29, Minnesota 17
MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- Daunte Culpepper's first interception
of the season came at the worst possible time.
Culpepper was picked off with 5:15 left in the fourth quarter
and the New York Giants capitalized with a touchdown three plays
later to send the Minnesota Vikings to their first loss of the
season, 29-17.
The Giants (3-4) had just gone ahead, 22-17, on a two-yard
scoring run by Tiki Barber when Culpepper was picked off by
Frank Walker, a rookie playing in his first game. On third down
of the ensuing drive, Kerry Collins found Ike Hilliard for a
14-yard touchdown strike - Hilliard's second of the game.
"We knew their record didn't reflect the kind of team they had,"
Culpepper said. "We knew it was going to be a tough game."
The Giants have won at the Metrodome in back-to-back seasons.
Collins passed for 375 yards and two touchdowns, his fourth
straight 300-yard game against the Vikings, including the
"We came in today knowing that we wanted to get the ball
downfield," Collins said. "We had opportunities from the
coverage that they gave us."
Although Collins threw an interception, the league-high 17th
pick by the Vikings this season, he found Hilliard nine times
for 100 yards, Amani Toomer three times for 96 yards and tight
end Jeremy Shockey three times for 81 yards, including a 46-yard
pass that set up Barber's go-ahead touchdown.
"We weren't able to put pressure on them, like we've been doing
previous games," Vikings defensive end Kenny Mixon said. "If
you're going to win, you've got to make them uncomfortable."
Minnesota (6-1) was trying to go 7-0 for the second time in four
seasons - the Vikings won their first seven in 2000, when they
lost the NFC championship game to the Giants.
"When you play like a team that's starting to believe what
everyone is saying about you, that's what you get," Vikings
coach Mike Tice said. "You get sloppy plays, you get players
not making plays, you have coaches not coaching good."
Randy Moss had a pair of touchdown catches in the first half for
the Vikings, but aside from his one-yard score in the third
quarter, Moss was a non-factor in the second half. After he
caught five passes for 121 yards and a touchdown in the first
half, the Giants held Moss to two catches for four yards in the
second, including the touchdown.
"They started triple covering him like everyone else has,"
Culpepper said. "We tried to exploit some other holes we
thought they had. We weren't able to come up with the plays."
Even when the Vikings did come up with a play, it worked out
well for the Giants. Safety Jack Brewer came up with
Minnesota's first blocked punt since 1989 in the third quarter,
but Wesly Mallard picked up the ball for New York and ran 12
yards to save possession for the Giants and stop the Vikings
from getting a golden opportunity to score at the New York 12.
"The blocked punt was a great play, but we're not jumping on the
ball," Tice said. "(We've) got a chance for a short field
touchdown and just didn't make the play."
Culpepper threw one more interception on the final play of the

The present invention relates to a support for small-diameter filamentary elements and to a bundle of filamentary elements interconnected by the support.
The invention applies in particular to installations comprising bundles of optical fibers or of electrical coaxial cables of small diameter.
Amongst the optical fibers commonly used in a cable telecommunications network, it is common practice to distinguish between inorganic optical fibers, generally made of silica, and optical fibers made of synthetic material.
In general, an inorganic optical fiber comprises a core of doped silica coated in intermediate inorganic optical cladding and in a peripheral organic sheath made of synthetic material. In general, the peripheral sheath is constituted by a flexible first sheath coated in a hard second sheath. An optical fiber of this type commonly has a diameter of 250 micrometers (μm).
An optical fiber of synthetic material is commonly of larger diameter than an inorganic optical fiber. A common diameter for an optical fiber of synthetic material is often around 500 μm, and in some cases can be as much as 1 millimeter (mm).
In the state of the art, it is known to hold a plurality of optical fibers together by means of a ribbon of photopolymerizable resin. A ribbon of this type normally enables two to sixteen optical fibers to be held together. In conventional manner, the optical fibers to be held together are coated in liquid resin, and the resin is cured by being polymerized on exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
The various optical fibers of a bundle are usually identified by means of a color code. As a result, the resin ribbon in which the optical fibers are embedded is generally transparent, so as to enable an operator to identify each optical fiber on the basis of its color.
If an operator seeks to gain access to a particular optical fiber embedded in the ribbon, the ribbon needs to be torn possibly by means of a thread provided for this purpose in the ribbon. After the operator has intervened, the tear in the ribbon must be repaired.
Furthermore, polymerization of the ribbon resin is an exothermic reaction that can give rise to harmful thermal stresses in the optical fibers embedded in the resin.
An object of the invention is to hold small-diameter filamentary elements together such as optical fibers or electrical coaxial cables using means that facilitate access to each filamentary element and, where appropriate, enable different bundles and filamentary elements to be identified.
To this end, the invention provides a support for small-diameter filamentary elements having a diameter less than or equal to 1 millimeter, in particular optical fibers and/or electrical coaxial cables, the support comprising longitudinal channels each intended to house a respective filamentary element, each channel being defined by two longitudinal walls interconnected by a web and defining a longitudinal channel opening, the width of said longitudinal opening being variable by elastically deforming the longitudinal walls between an access configuration giving access to the channel enabling a filamentary element to pass through said opening and a retaining configuration for retaining a filamentary element in the channel.
According to other characteristics of this support:
the longitudinal openings of successive channels open out alternately into opposite faces of the support, the webs of the channels alternating with the longitudinal walls of said channels so as to define a cross-section for the support that zigzags back and forth;
each longitudinal channel is of substantially triangular cross-section when its longitudinal opening is in the retaining configuration;
the longitudinal openings of the successive channels open out into the same face of the support;
each longitudinal wall has a free edge provided with a retaining bead for retaining filamentary elements in the channels;
the face of the support into which the longitudinal openings of the channels open out is provided with a removable cover for closing the channels; and
the support is made out of an extruded or calendared thermoplastic material.
The invention also provides an assembly of at least two supports, each as defined above, wherein each support has a longitudinal wall defining a side edge of the support that is provided with coupling means for co-operating with complementary coupling means carried by another support.
According to another characteristic of this assembly, the complementary coupling means of two supports co-operate with each other by snap-fastening.
The invention also provides a bundle of small-diameter filamentary elements of diameter less than or equal to 1 mm, wherein the filamentary elements are held together by a support as defined above.
According to another characteristic of this bundle, the filamentary elements are selected from optical fibers and electrical coaxial cables.
The invention will be better understood on reading the following description given purely by way of example and made with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:
FIGS. 1 and 2 are diagrammatic cross-section views through a support for filamentary elements constituting a first embodiment of the invention, in which each longitudinal opening of a channel is respectively in a configuration in which a filamentary element is retained in the channel and a configuration giving access to the channel; and
FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic cross-section view of a support for filamentary elements constituting a second embodiment of the invention.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show a support 10 constituting a first embodiment of the invention for supporting small-diameter filamentary elements 12 having a diameter that is less than or equal to one millimeter.
In the example shown, the filamentary elements 12 are conventional optical fibers for use in a telecommunications network, for example. The optical fibers 12 are made out of an inorganic material or a synthetic material. An inorganic type optical fiber comprises, for example, a doped silica core coated in inorganic cladding and an organic sheath that commonly comprises two layers of synthetic material.
In a variant, the filamentary elements 12 can be constituted by electrical coaxial cables of the kind commonly used in telecommunications installations or in medical equipment.
The support 10 is preferably designed to carry a dozen filamentary elements 12. Nevertheless, the number of filamentary elements 12 carried by the support can be less than or greater than one dozen.
The support 10 is generally plane and elongate in shape, and it comprises longitudinal channels 14 each intended to house one filamentary element 12.
Each channel 14 is defined by two longitudinal walls 18 interconnected by a web 20. The two longitudinal walls 18 of a single channel 14 define a longitudinal opening 22. The width of this longitudinal opening 22 can be varied by elastically deforming the longitudinal walls 18 between a configuration giving access to the channel 14, as shown in FIG. 2 allowing a filamentary element 12 to pass through said opening 22, and a configuration for holding a filamentary element 12 in the channel 14, as shown in FIG. 1.
When the longitudinal opening 22 of a channel 14 is in the holding configuration, the filamentary element 12 contained in the channel 14 is held transversely in the channel 14 while still being capable of sliding longitudinal in the channel 14.
In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the longitudinal openings 22 of successive channels 14 open out alternately into opposite faces of the support 10. Thus, channel webs 20 alternate with longitudinal channel walls 18 so as to define a support 10 whose cross-section zigzags back and forth. More particularly, with reference to FIG. 1, it can be seen that each of the channels 14 is of substantially triangular section when its longitudinal opening 22 is in the retaining configuration.
The thickness of the longitudinal walls 18 and of the cores 20 preferably lies in the range 20 μm to 50 μm.
The support 10 is made of synthetic material, preferably a thermoplastic, using conventional means such as means for extruding section members or calendaring means.
With reference again to FIG. 1, it can be seen that the support 10 comprises two longitudinal walls each defining a side edge of the support 10. Each side edge is provided with coupling means 24, 26 for co-operating with complementary coupling means carried by another support similar to the support 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
It is thus possible to juxtapose two similar supports 10 side by side so as to form an assembly of supports carrying filamentary elements 12.
FIG. 1 shows one side edge of the support 10 (on the right in the figure) provided with a female coupling member 24 designed to snap-fasten with a male coupling member 26 of another support 10, such as the male member 26 carried by the left side edge of the support 10 as shown in FIG. 1.
The invention thus makes it possible to build up bundles of small-diameter filamentary elements 12 of diameter that is less than or equal to one millimeter, by holding these elements using at least one support 10. The longitudinal openings 22 of the channels make it possible to obtain visual access to the filamentary elements 12 contained in the channel so as to see their colors and identify them.
It is easy to access a particular filamentary element 12 by splaying apart the longitudinal walls 18 to the channel 14 in which the particular filamentary element 12 is housed. Furthermore, access to all of the filamentary elements 12 can easily be obtained by moving the side edges of the support 10 apart as represented by arrows in FIG. 2, thereby placing all of the longitudinal openings in their configuration giving access to the channels 14.
When the side edges of the support 10 are no longer being pulled apart, the longitudinal openings 22 automatically return to their retaining configuration.
The longitudinal openings 22 give visual access to each filamentary element 12 so there is no need for the support 10 to be transparent. The support 10 can thus of various colors, thereby making it possible to distinguish each support 10 in an assembly of supports by means of a color code, and where appropriate to combine the color code of the filamentary elements 12 with the color code of the supports 10.
Filamentary elements can be inserted into the channels of a support by forcing the filamentary elements 12 through the longitudinal openings 22 so as to cause the side walls 18 to splay apart. Such forced insertion can be performed by means of rollers pressing filamentary elements 12 into the longitudinal openings 22.
FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of a support 10 for filamentary elements 12. In this embodiment, the longitudinal openings 22 of successive channels 14 all open out into the same face of the support 10.
Each longitudinal wall 18 has its free edge provided with a bead 28 for retaining the filamentary elements 12.
The face of the support into which the longitudinal openings 22 of the channels 14 open out is preferably provided with a cover 30 for closing the channels 14.
The advantages of the invention include that of making it possible to hold together small-diameter filamentary embodiments such as optical fibers or coaxial cables using means that give easy access to each filamentary element 12.
The channels 14 of the support are of dimensions that are adapted specifically to retain either inorganic optical fibers usually having a diameter of 250 μm, or else synthetic type optical fibers usually having a diameter of about 500 μm.
The support of the invention can also hold together coaxial cables having dimensions similar to those of the optical fibers mentioned above. As a general rule, the support of the invention is well adapted to holding together filamentary elements of a diameter that is less than or equal to 1 millimeter.

Bad Update 12/23 - Latest update loads incredibly slow. I've been using other news apps instead. 3/14 - Just checked back in. Your app remains broken 3 months later! It barely loads at all on my Nexus. You need a new IT dept!
Open App First Thing in the Morning I open the app immediately after I wake up. Then I sh*t, shower, and shave and hope the app has loaded updated content by that time. This is seriously the slowest Android app I've ever had on my phone. It's really a shame because this used to be a great app.
Will this ever work? I'm convinced this pathetic app's reason for being is to drive readers to the print edition. Takes forever to load and then won't display articles. Well, I'm not buying. Literally.
ADMF I kept hoping they would fix problems since Sep update. Extreemly slow to load(if at all), freezes, and crashes. I'll check back every now and then to see if troubles corrected. Used to be the "go to" app.
Awful, takes so long to load that my screen times out. If this is the best you can do it's time to get out of the app business. Want to uninstall but keep thinking it HAS to be fixed soon. This app is so bad it reflects poorly on Patriot News and developer.

Having trouble with constipation?
If so, I am sorry about that. That is the pits. The intent of this article is to provide simple things that will help most people who have constipation.
But first it is important to know there is quite a range of normal for the number of bowel movements a person can have. Some will have 3 a day and others only one every three days although that is a bit uncommon.
Next it is important to know there are a number of causes of constipation. Some can be serious. Medications can cause it especially those with narcotics such as oxycodone or hydrocodone. Calcium such as calcium carbonate can also cause significant constipation. Calcium citrate reportedly is less apt to cause constipation. But most cases of constipation are due to one of three things or a combination of three things. 1. Low fiber in the diet. The dietary fiber that helps people have normal bowel movements is not found in any animal product. It is not in meat, fish, milk, eggs or cheese but only in plant products. The fibers that are seen in some cuts of meat do not help.
Dietary fiber is the indigestible part of plant foods which an be divided into two types-soluble and insoluble. The insoluble is the type that helps to relieve constipation. This can be found in whole grain foods, wheat and corn brain, nuts and seeds, potato skins, flaxseed and vegetables such as green beans, cauliflower, and celery.
Soluble fibers serve other useful functions such as lowering cholesterol and regulating blood sugar. Internet users wanting more information can Google dietary fibers.
Unfortunately there is a problem with the fiber that is found in one of the most commonly used plant foods -- wheat -- such as in bread, pasta, spaghetti, pie crust, pizza, doughnuts. The problem is that the fiber has been significantly diminished in the refining process that produces white flour. Enriched wheat flour has only 22 percent as much fiber as in 100 percent whole wheat.
2. Inadequate water intake -- most adults need 5-8 glasses of water per day. 3. Lack of physical exercise. The person who sits at a desk all day will be more apt to be constipated than farmers/ranchers or a day laborer.
Some folks believe that if you don't have regular bowel movements you will absorb toxins or poisons from the bowels. This in not true. Laxatives should not be the first thing to use if you have chronic constipation.
Now for a simple remedy that can really help some folks. Drink 2 glasses or cups full of hot water 1/2 hour before breakfast. This advice is dependent upon eating a good breakfast. Too many Americans are eating their big meal at night and very little, if anything for breakfast. When one breaks his fast after having nothing to eat all night and eats a good breakfast this stimulates the bowel muscles. The hot water helps this process as does going to sit on the toilet 1/2 to 3/4 hour after breakfast. With persistence it is possible to train your bowels to move at the right time.
If one does need help in getting the bowels to work, a high fiber product such as metamucil or flax seed meal should be one of the first things a person uses. Of course, if you are having significant problems with constipation or a change in bowel habits, you are advised to discuss this with your health care provider.
Dr. Don Casebolt of College Place is a retired physician who is passionate about preventive medicine. He spent 4 years as a medical officer in the U.S. Navy, the last 21/2 years as a flight surgeon. He also worked on the Navajo Reservation for 22 years.

Iggle Pop Deluxe Demo
editor's review
buy now €4.99
One of the most difficult things to achieve in the video games industry nowadays is to come up with an original idea, because almost everything has been tried over the years. On the other hand, variations on a theme can be profitable as well, which is why remakes and clones do so well for themselves. Hence, as long as the gameplay is fun and addictive, it seems like it doesn't really matter where the idea came from.
Help the Iggles get back home safely
Iggle Pop Deluxe is an arcade game in which your goal is to collect a couple of creatures called Iggles and transport them to a portal, from where they can get home safely. However, these Iggles come in a variety of different colors, which means that you must also take them to the portal that shares their color. Not only that, but you must also pay attention to the monsters that try to stop you along the way.
The game looks and plays a lot like a combination between Snake and Pac-Man, because it borrows concepts from both of them. Hence, the Iggles follow you in a straight line, and you get longer and longer the more of them you happen to collect. Just like in Pac-man, the enemies wander around randomly on the map, and they can kill your character if you happen to touch them.
Rescue frozen Iggles and move quickly
Although you die if an enemy touches you directly, the Iggles just get left behind if they get touched. Not only that, but they also begin to roam the mazes up and down after a while, which makes it that much more difficult to track them down. However, it's quite simple to avoid the enemies, at least in the beginning. After a while, everything about the game gets more difficult and a lot more frustrating.
Visually, the level tileset changes whenever you manage to complete a few stages, and the mazes are usually quite detailed. The characters are nice as well, although you shouldn't expect to make any memories in this regard. You can distract yourself with the soundtrack for a bit, but the tunes get repetitive in a rush, especially if you play for too long.
A nice idea that can keep you occupied for a while
When it's all said and done, Iggle Pop Deluxe may not be a major breakthrough in the industry, but it is certainly addictive and quite fun. On the other hand, it is also repetitive and frustrating later on, so it might lose its charm after a few levels.

A complete alternative and cheaper route for production of glassy polymeric carbon electrodes in laboratorial scale is described. Two kinds of polyphenolic resins were synthesized by mixing the precursors phenol and formaldehyde with 1) ammonium or 2) sodium hydroxide as catalyst. A shorter treatment time of 3.5 days (from 25 to 1000 °C) was employed for preparation of the electrodic material compared with the 5–7 day period proposed in the literature. The obtained materials were inserted into conventional hollow plastic bodies and electrically contacted with copper wire. After proper polishing, the electrodic materials were tested as working electrodes by cyclic voltammetry technique. The data demonstrated that the use of sodium hydroxide causes peculiar problems such as alkaline residues in the electrodic materials and subsequent fading of final product. On the other hand, the materials obtained by the ammonium hydroxide route presented good results in terms of mechanical resistance, glassy appearance, conductivity and voltammetric response, allowing for application of such materials in electrochemistry.

Outsourced 787 electronics hurt Boeing
The dissolution of Boeing Commercial Electronics offers a case study in how Boeing dealt away in-house expertise.
The company created the unit in the early 1980s because all the systems on a modern jet -- including the electrical, hydraulics, engine, fuel, cabin air and flight-control systems -- are managed by electronics.
"It was a strategic move to control the electronics itself," said Dwight Schaeffer, a former senior manager at Boeing Commercial Electronics.
Yet as Boeing launched the 787 Dreamliner program in 2003, management dispersed all those Everett engineers, outsourced their work, then sold off the Texas plant.
Part of a broad handoff of control to airplane-systems suppliers, the move was intended to cut Boeing's costs.
On jets before the 787, BCE integrated components from many different suppliers so they worked together properly. And if suppliers got in trouble, BCE stepped in and got the job done.
"Now they don't have that capability," said Jerry Packard, another former BCE manager. "That's all lost."
In contrast to Boeing's well-known move to let "global partners" design and manufacture the 787's wings, tail and fuselage, the way it handed design control to 787 systems partners, including management of subcontractors, received little attention at the time.
After this year's costly three-month grounding of the plane from January's battery problems, that approach is getting new scrutiny.
Longtime industry analyst Richard Aboulafia worries it may bring the 787 more grief in future.
"Without complete oversight of the subsystems, they might be finding systems glitches for years," said Aboulafia.
In the aftermath of a rash of 787 systems problems -- in its electrical power-distribution panels and generators as well as its battery system -- the dissolution of Boeing Commercial Electronics offers a case study in how Boeing dealt away in-house expertise and relinquished control over systems suppliers.
BCE designed and built electronic boxes and circuit cards that controlled a multitude of crucial systems on all Boeing planes before the 787.
As a senior manager at BCE, Schaeffer managed the budgets for about 230 employees and ran research and development, business development, project management and product support.
He said BCE's role as an integrator of different subsystems gave it a clear overview of how a jet's systems were coming together.
"No supplier would trust another," said Schaeffer. "But the suppliers would trust us not to give away their secrets."
On the 777 program, for example, Honeywell supplied a system to detect when the weight of the plane was on the landing gear; Allied Signal supplied a smoke-detection system for the cargo hold; Hamilton Standard (which later became Hamilton Sundstrand) supplied an electrical anti-ice system; Fenwal Controls supplied a system to detect leaks in air ducts; Walter Kidde supplied a fire-detection system.
These all fed into and were controlled by a single BCE-designed electronics box, as were other systems designed and built by BCE itself -- including the hydraulics monitoring and the passenger cabin's environmental controls.
To make it all work together, BCE controlled both the physical format of this vital communications nexus, as well as the electrical and software standards for each system.
Another key BCE role was bailing out suppliers that got into trouble.
Lead engineer Ed D'Souza recalls the example of Vickers, a supplier based in Grand Rapids, Mich., of the system for loading and unloading cargo for the 767 freighter.
On previous contracts, Vickers had built only the hardware.
"Failing miserably" at designing the electronic controls, the company appealed to Boeing for help, D'Souza said.
"They only wanted to do the mechanical stuff. They were more than happy to turn the electronics over to us," he said. "We essentially brought the job back in-house and did the entire design and delivery ourselves."
Schaeffer, Packard and D'Souza, now all retired, trace some of Boeing's 787 problems to a loss of control of systems design and the disbanding of BCE.
It's uncommon for retired Boeing managers to speak out publicly against company policies, but they agreed to do so in hope that Boeing will reverse direction for future jet programs.
As Dreamliners entered scheduled service in numbers last year, problems surfaced initially with the 787's electrical system.
At least four times, electrical arcing in circuit boards inside the power panels caused airline-service disruptions, including a Dec. 4 flight diversion by United Airlines.
On Dec. 17, an electrical generator on a United 787 failed after a flight attendant reported a loud bang under the floor.
According to a Federal Aviation Administration incident report, mechanics found a flash mark behind a power panel.
The Wall Street Journal recently cited an internal Boeing report that revealed a total of 350 Dreamliner service disruptions before January. That figure is comparable to the incidence of glitches in the early days of the 777 program, but a person with knowledge of the data said a greater proportion of the 787 problems were electrical.
Then in January, problems with the battery system -- a battery fire on the ground in Boston and a smoldering battery in flight in Japan -- grounded the entire Dreamliner fleet.
Were these "teething problems" or signs of an underlying systems vulnerability?
Boeing insists that the way it outsourced 787 systems was not significantly different from what it's done in the past.
Instead of relying on multiple suppliers sending in pieces Boeing integrated, the jet-maker had its major systems partners "design, build and integrate subsystems," said spokesman Larry Wilson.
"We streamlined our approach," Wilson said.
Mike Sinnett, Boeing senior vice president and 787 chief project engineer, in April told a National Transportation Safety Board investigative hearing into the battery failures that the company maintained both tight oversight and overall control over its systems partners.
Compared with the radically new role for 787 airframe suppliers, Boeing's relationship with 787 systems suppliers was "more traditional," he said.
Some suppliers saw the changes as more radical.
Clay Jones, chief executive of Rockwell Collins, which supplies the 787 cockpit avionics suite, said last year that on the Dreamliner, "Boeing fairly dramatically changed its attitude of how to work with suppliers."
He said Boeing elevated the role of suppliers like his company to that of "true partners."
Some of those suppliers would have liked to work with BCE, said Schaeffer.
Before Boeing selected its systems suppliers for the jet, the Hamilton Sundstrand division of United Technologies approached Schaeffer's group and asked to partner with BCE in making its bid for the electrical systems.
"They were weak on software, and we had helped them out before," Schaeffer said.
But with BCE already on the chopping block, Boeing's leadership nixed that idea.
Boeing ultimately chose Hamilton Sundstrand to design the 787's electrical system and to integrate subsystems such as the power-distribution panels.
The panels, which have proved so troublesome on the 787, were designed in-house on jets before the 787, said Schaeffer.
For the 787 battery system, Boeing selected Thales of France to do the design and integrate subsystems built by subcontractors, including battery-maker GS Yuasa of Japan, and Securaplane of Tucson, Ariz., which made the charging system.
"That would never have happened in the old days," Schaeffer said. The battery-component suppliers "would have been contracted directly with Boeing."
At the NTSB investigative hearing, testimony revealed that information from the subcontractors -- such as the analysis and testing of certain battery failures -- for the most part flowed indirectly to Boeing, through Thales.
"I've no problem with outsourcing the build portions," meaning the making of the hardware, said Schaeffer.
But he said he believes Boeing ought to have kept the design in-house and been responsible for integrating the various components from suppliers into a working system.
"When they outsourced that to the people that make the equipment, like Thales, that's what really broke the back," Schaeffer said.
The 787 is the first Boeing jet with all its electronic components sourced from outside suppliers.
Schaeffer said eliminating BCE from the supply chain meant many subsystem suppliers were "out of sight, out of mind," no longer working directly with Boeing.
"Just by getting rid of us, Boeing outsourced its systems-design responsibilities more on the 787 than on other airplanes," he said.
At the start of the 787 program, Boeing's leadership in Chicago insisted on the need to reduce the development cost by bringing in "risk-sharing partners" who would take on -- and help pay for -- more of the development work.
Hans Weber, a leading aviation-engineering consultant, calls this the "fundamental weakness in the 787 program from the start."
This was "ultimately a financial invention. It's not done for technical reasons," Weber said.
Internal documents obtained by The Seattle Times in the early days of the program showed Boeing planned to spend just $5 billion to develop the 787, a figure Weber calls "unrealistically low" and that later ballooned to at least triple that as production problems mounted.
Once design work had been outsourced, Weber said, an inevitable consequence was that in-house design expertise became surplus and "had to go."
"We know of the problems on the structures side. We are learning more and more on the systems side," said Weber.
"These are problems that could very well be traced to a lack of sufficient oversight and inadequate transfer of corporate-engineering expertise."
Boeing has upgraded both the battery systems and the power panels on the Dreamliners, and airlines around the world expect to resume their full 787 services by June.
If more systems problems arise for Boeing in future, one mitigating factor is that fixing them is generally much cheaper than making major structural changes to the airframe.
Correcting systems faults may require only swapping out an electronics box or making software changes.
More than ever, though, Boeing must look outside the company for that expertise.

Hybrid Jazz From Trish Hennessey - with Nathan East!
in Music
If you are reading this - and you have read other biographical information that your show host has written about hundreds of artists, then this will take you by surprise. I am totally freaked out. LOL!!! Because Nathan East is something else ENTIRELY.
Over three decades of support for household names. A few - let's alphabetize: Barbra Streisand, Eric Clapton, Daft Punk (Grammy Awards here, pay attention!), Herbie Hancock, Phil Collins, Stevie Wonder, Toto, Whitney Houston....still breathing? Oh, I KNOW, y'all! This is what I'm SAYING - this man is a ROCK of mass appeal. Genre jumping, bass busting, talent. Quincy Jones has said: "He's so talented it's ridiculous!"
A little background so yers truly can calm down. Born in Philadelphia, Nathan was four when his family (eight kids!) moved to San Diego. Nathan studied cello first, then became interested in bass when he was 14. His influences: Mingus and Ron Carter. Electric: Paul McCartney and Chuck Rainey.
On the road with Barry White when he was 16, his resume just grew from THERE. Multiple awards, soundtracks that are too numerous to mention, co-founding Fourplay, an online electric bass school, an accomplished magician as well as everything else just discussed - and - drumroll, please: over 2,000 credits to his name. Honest to God, one of the most recorded Bass players in musical history.
The reason for this visit from the esteemed Nathan East on 9/1: his partnership with Fourplay member, Bob James. Their astonishing project, "The New Cool" is about to drop. THIS host has dropped already, hearing it! Music to captivate and haunt, it's the crown jewel within the Yamaha Family, the company that is sponsoring this golden event.
What a thrill to bring you a glimpse into Nathan East. Second hour. Get your seat EARLY :)
Back In The Day When I Was Young: Luqman Nation Reminisces
The Luqmans are always talking about how life in our neighborhoods were different when we were growing up compared to today, but we rarely take the time to talk about the specific ways that life was different. On this show, we're going to talk about some of those ways, as many as we can fit in. From weekday and weekend chores to running errands for the elderly ladies in the neighborhood to school memories, we'll talk about all the good things that we have fond memories of from our childhoods, growing up in Camden, NJ (Mr. Luqman) and in SE Washington, DC (Mrs. Luqman), including some of the music that made up the soundtracks of our youth.
And since we'll be talking about how our neighborhoods were different in our childhoods were different, we'll talk a little bit about why our neighborhoods are the way they are today.

Tony Terry stops by Real Life Real Faith with Cheryl Lacey Donovan
Tony Terry is one of the greatest voices of this generation. He is such a beautiful spirit, an incredible talent and I'm happy to say that he will be on Real Life, Real Faith with Cheryl Lacey Donovan (An Elissa Gabrielle Entertainment Production) on Tuesday, June 9, 2015 at 8pm EST.
Terry is a graduate at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington. He signed a recording contract with Epic/CBS Records.
Terry's self-titled second album, released in 1990, included the single "With You" (his biggest hit) which reached the Top 20 of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, as well as the Top 10 on the R&B chart.[2] "Everlasting Love", was a number-six R&B hit.[2] After leaving Epic, Terry moved over to Virgin Records. His debut album for that label was 1994's Heart Of A Man. The single, "When A Man Cries", just managed the R&B Top 40, but the album was a commercial failure.[2] The following year, Terry contributed background vocals on the single "Gotta Have Love", from Yolanda Adams's album More Than a Melody. He also appeared in the video. Terry has performed on the soundtracks to Gladiator starring Cuba Gooding, Jr., Tap starring Gregory Hines and King's Ransom starring Anthony Anderson. In 1991, Terry earned two Soul Train Music Award nominations: Single of the Year and Artist of the Year for "With You".

I think the "right shooting defenseman" thing has tended to get overblown over the last three years. Nothing about being a right shooter makes a guy better, or more deserving of a roster spot. It's a characteristic that, all things being equal, you'd like to have a balance of.
For instance, Marchenko and Smith were a better pair last year than Smith and Zidlicky. In one instance having a righty worked, and in the other it didn't make much difference. If forced to choose, I would rather have seen Smith with another lefty (Ouellet?), or Zidlicky with another righty (Marchenko?), rather than those two together.
The lefty righty thing is based on all other variables being equal. If you're trying to find a partner for a lefty, and you've got two good guys with similar skillsets, then pick a righty. But if one guy is a mismatch in every other way, but is right handed, don't give him the spot based primarily on that.
Just my 2 cents.
When you consider that over 70% of NHL Defencemen shoot left handed, It certainly helps to have a Right Handed shot when it comes to bubble players in the pre-season and/or free agents in the off-season. No, you aren't cutting Nick Kronwall to make room for Nick Jensen, but the theory of having an equal number of each stems from basic (positional) fundamentals and not just because it's simply good to have a balance of both.
Ideally, you would like to have 3 LH and 3 RH Defencemen at all times - because it's much harder to play the opposite side as a Dman than it is as a Forward...Alot of Forwards actually prefer to play their off-wing because its beneficial in most scoring area's around the slot.
As a left handed Defenceman playing the right side, it is much more difficult to retrieve the puck off the boards and move it quickly when sustaining offensive zone time... At NHL level, retrieving pucks on your backhand at the blueline to keep the zone (especially at even strength) typically gives the opposing team too much time to make a play. It's also harder to "play catch" and set up your offence at the top of the zone if both Dmen are Left Handed, and opposing teams will key in on this. Not to get too crazy, because we are talking about the best in the world here... but it's also easier to pivot, and force opposing forwards to the outside when you are playing the correct side.
On the PP, it's also beneficial to have both shots out there (think Lidstrom, Rafalski) - because once possession is established after the faceoff is won, the Defencemen can "switch" and create two shooting lanes as opposed to just one. Doing that, also creates room down low because the shorthanded team has to send 2 guys high...
It's not really overblown, and although you aren't arbitrarily a better player based on the fact you shoot right handed, you can certainly put your team in a position to be better. This is why they command more money every off-season, and more demand every trade deadline then left handed shooting players.
