The F-35 – the UK's Last Manned Combat Aircraft Procurement?
Recently, the UK Ministry of Defence announced that it was changing its Procurement decision on the Joint Strike Fighter, the Lockheed F-35 Lightning II, from the STOVL F-35B to the CV F-35C, with a planned order of 50 aircraft.
Facing the growing cost of the carrier program, partly because the UK MOD 'forgot' about the ski jumps on the Queen Elizabeth carrier, costing £1.2BN to remove, and the difficulties experienced with catapult launch, there is a new 'Plan' to revert back to the F-35B! This is on top of the dismal FAILURE of the F-35A to carry out its first sortie from Eglin AFB, owing to (yet another issue) a fuel leak.
2012 should have seen the arrival in the UK of a limited quantity of F-35C aircraft, for evaluation. The Planned In-Service Date (ISD) for the Queen Elizabeth carrier and the 'stealth' F-35C aircraft is 2020, but this might be at risk because of programme delays in the F-35C, not least of all in the arrester hook problems, and the likely inability of the F-35C to fire the UK's standard Advanced Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile (ASRAAM), as will be fitted to the UK fleet of Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft.
The F-35 Procurement is the US DoD's largest procurement programme (with an individual aircraft costing in excess of US$150M, more likely US$280M for the complete production run) the program represents a Total Fleet Life-Cycle Cost Estimate of possibly in excess of US$1Trilion (US$1,000Bn). This, for what was advertised as an affordable, capable, stealth fighter for the US and its allies, has now been revealed to be the most expensive fighter aircraft ever developed, with increased size and weight (and consequently reduced capability), and "stealth" compromised by the design and also the external ordnance hard points as fitted to earlier aircraft (certainly not in the league of the F-117 stealth fighter). This is such a change that it could almost be regarded as an update to an F-16, or the F-22 Raptor – only noisier. Now, being a Radar and EW Engineer by background, I have to confess that the JSF F-35 looks anything BUT a 'stealth fighter'.
Can the UK afford such procurements? It is understood that even the offsets originally envisaged have been 'blown', with the F-35 using Pratt and Whitney F135 engines instead of the Rolls-Royce/GE consortium F136 engines. What's more, as the 'all-knowing' UK MoD has now decided that the first new Carrier will be mothballed immediately after production, and the second Carrier will only carry one wing (not even a Squadron) of F-35's (plus 2 in reserve), what is the point of the UK MoD's Carrier 'Fleet'? No wonder that the UK and Japan are in discussions about Joint Production/Procurement – after all, the Japanese know that the UK can manufacture good products, hence the plan for Nissan to produce its new car series in the UK.
However, contrast this with the UK's current demonstrator Unmanned Air Vehicles, Taranis (a large stealth UCAV), about which BAE Systems are keeping the details a closely-guarded secret, and the European (German-led) Baracuda,; and then there is the BAE Systems Mantis, the European Neuron UCAV, the Talarion Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) surveillance UAV. To my mind, most of these appear to be 'Stealth' designs. (Having seen, at extremely close quarters the last flying Avro Vulcan bomber… which overflew my house not too long ago, I think that I know 'stealth' when I see it.*)
In addition, there is the Thales/Elbit Watchkeeper, for the UK Army which is a joint UK/Israel UAV intended for airborne surveillance of the battlefield which is entering service. In addition, as seen, there are the existing and future European UAV/UCAV programmes and also the US programmes… and just about every 'developed' nation with defence needs and strategies have commenced their own UAV/UCAV programmes.
The UK has long been participating in Unmanned Aircraft programmes, including the Unmanned Combat Aircraft (UCAV) and is proceeding ahead of many other nations, via the auspices of the Civil Aviation Authority in programme ASTRAEA (Autonomous Systems Technology Related Airborne Evaluation & Assessment), running from 2006 until 2013 with a £62M budget, to de-risk the operational use of UAVs/UCAVs operating in (Civil) Controlled Airspace.
This programme, which involves the cooperation of Industry and Government, has the following key industrial members: Agent Oriented Software (AOS), BAE Systems, Cassidian, Cobham, QinetiQ, Rolls-Royce and Thales. In addition, many of the most innovative small companies in the sector, leading academic minds and the UK regulatory authorities are integral to the programme.
The two principal areas being addressed are:
Separation Assurance & Control – the particular technologies required to control the flying vehicle in the airspace from the ground control station the spectrum, security and integrity of the communication system and the vehicle's sense and avoid sensor system.
Autonomy & Decision Making – providing the intelligence in the vehicle through a 'variable autonomy system', that shares decision making for the mission and contingency management with the human operator.
Integral to these project areas are "Autonomous Sense and Avoid", a 'first' in aviation technology.
ASTRAEA has already been successful in terms of government/industry collaboration, which has resulted in the UK being recognised as the leading national authority on future autonomous UAV operations in controlled airspace.
So, what will be the impact upon future (UK) combat aircraft procurement? There is already a precedence set in the USA – in 2005, the percentage of UAVs deployed was just 5% of the US Military Aircraft. At the beginning of 2012, that number had risen to 31% (according to a US Congressional Research Service report).
Given that the UK has set a strategy to keep operational all new air systems for circa 40–50 years, what value can be seen in further expensive manned combat aircraft? The UK has demonstrated its ability to monitor, and if necessary, control the flight of an unmanned aircraft from the console of an accompanying manned aircraft (QinetiQ with a BAC-1-11 and a manned Tornado, using AOS agent software). The UCAV and UAV demonstrator programmes will evaluate remote monitoring via satellite links. So, in 2070, an Interceptor/Attack squadron could conceivably be formed entirely from UCAVs with a stand-off Mission Control aircraft. Cheaper Procurement, more versatile attack profiles (no need to worry about a pilot 'blacking out' at high g manoeuvres, fewer pilots required (with major impact on training budget), greatly reduced 'body-bag' count …
… has somebody got a calculator? This seems to be an extremely cost effective Future Air Force – or is there something that we don't know about? Most importantly, it would seem that the US DoD and the UK MoD simply just don't know what to do. Having read a Defence Procurement paper recently, I was just about to say, "Just as I expected" when I realised that it was a Defense (USA) Procurement paper. Oh, **** !
Meanwhile, China continues to expand its forces, with Chinese warships operating new UAVs at sea, back in 2011, and with anticipated 'carbon copies of the US Predator and Global Hawk', it doesn't take a genius to anticipate that China will soon have UCAV technologies, flying, to accompany their extremely large fleet. China has been offering for sale helicopter UAVs (such as the U8E), China also offers fixed wing UAVs, which are currently about a generation behind Western models (which is the usual Western policy, so no change, there!). The Chinese are willing to compete on price, but most heavy UAV users still prefer American or Israeli models – at present.
No wonder that the USA now plans to virtually leave the Atlantic ocean, and concentrate on the Pacific ocean.

(* Particularly as a UK Engineer ran the US Stealth Aircraft programmes – as I was informed by Cranfield College of Aeronautics, who trained the person concerned.)
Why not simply leave the ski jump ramp on? Put in the arrestor wires and make the QE a STOBAR carrier instead. EMALS can eventually be installed in waist position if necessary. But a STOBAR configured QE carrier can still operate F-35B, F-35C, Rafale and F/A-18E and could also operate E-2D AWACS as well. Since most missions with the F-35 will not be operating at max payload with external stores, the ski jump launch, even with the C model of the JSF should be more than adequate. STOBAR would add to the versatility and interoperatability of the QE in the long run.
No great issues with your comments – but I reserve judgement on an F-35C being able to use the 'ski jump ramp' for successful take-off.
I think that I convinced MOD (December 1999) to have big enough Lifts for Hawkeye or MV22 (my preference, when fitted with Searchwater ASaC).
Good lord you're pretty much clueless on this subject aren't you Mr Hartley. For example you huff and puff about external weapons carriage but don't seem to understand that exteranal carriage is completely optional! You do understand it has an INTERNAL bay, at leastI hope you do by now. Perhaps do some research next time before penning an 'article'….
And your price figures are way off, by tens of millions.
"Peter" – you seem to be one of those anonymous people who loves to write a 'de-bunking' response, without reading the article properly. Do you have a Marketing affiliation with Lockheed-Martin, by any chance ? Or are you simply an idealist** ? (I'll forgive you the "exteranal" spelling mistake – I hope.)
I have been following the F-35 project since its inception, because I have an involvement with the UK CVF (the Queen Elizabeth Class carrier) and its considered organic Maritime Airborne Surveillance and Control system. All my data comes from the F-35 Program Office and are data in the public domain. I am aware that the F-35 has a limited internal missile compartment (but at missile launch, the radar cross-section inevitably becomes quite large in 'stealth' terms). Furthermore, to be of any benefit as a long range fighter (i.e. carry more than two, possibly three missiles/bombs), it is also necessary to fit hard points to the F-35 for external weapon loads, which makes the F-35 'stick out like a sore thumb' on modern AD and AA radar.
Also, the Pricing data I used are derived from data from the F-35 Program Office and also recent investigations by a unit of the US Defense Oversight Committee, also the UK MOD Procurement at Abbey Wood, plus some projection from HMG Treasury which has the perhaps annoying habit of being accurate. "Tens of millions" of what currency ? "Final prices" are often 'dumbed down' for Political reasons, but the ones I used are the real-life figures for delivery to the UK by 2020.
More to the point, in a telecom to the USA on Tuesday, 20th March 2012, I had all my data confirmed yet again by a source (an ex US pilot) closely connected to the USAF and DoD Procurement.
If you need to read more, why not read the 'sad story' at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-35_Lightning_II – but please read all the way through, don't 'pick and choose'.
**An Idealist ? One who hopes that the facts won't get in the way of his/her preference.
The weapons bays on the F-35 are limited compared to what? A strategic bomber or dedicated strike aircraft I suppose. But the weapon bays on the A and C variants have more internal space than the bays of the F-22 and F-117.
The only time the F-35 will be flying with external stores is after the enemies air defense network has been smashed. These claims that the F-35 isn't a stealth fighter because it has the capability for external pylons and ordinance is foolish.
None of these UCAVs mentioned can carry larger internal payloads than the F-35A or F-35C. No UAV has yet demonstrated the capability to operate at full effectiveness against an opponent with modern EW capabilities either. UCAVs have their place, but they quite simply aren't the miracle cure some people pitch them as. People freak out over the millions of lines of code the F-35 requires, yet a multirole UCAV with effective autonomous capability would probably require double that.
From a materials standpoint the F-35 isn't that much more complicated to build than a Super Hornet or the latest generation of Eurocanards. The software and avionics are another matter, but that's the direction everybody is moving towards. Development costs were always going to be high and the high level of concurrency expected was a mistake. Yet there's ample room for production costs to be brought down to relatively low figures.
Would you say that only two, possibly three, weapon locations within the fuselage of the F-35 (plus a gun) are adequate for air combat ? I most certainly wouldn't. I doubt that any sane fighter pilot would, either. Certainly my American ex-pilot contact (who works with special projects for the DoD) wasn't enamoured by the F-35. And (for slightly different reasons) neither is the Project Director, Admiral Venlet (see http://defense.aol.com/2011/12/01/jsf-build-and-test-was-miscalculation-production-must-slow-v/#add-comm-bottom) where the Admiral wants the production rate slowed down, until the aircraft is Fit For Purpose.
Regarding external hard points and enemy air defences: which future aircraft is intended to 'take out' the enemy air defences ? Surely that is a Mission Role for the F-35 ? If not, then the programme is something of a waste of time (and a great deal of money). And when the onboard missiles are exposed on an F-35, the radar cross section 'leaps up'.
Incidentally, according to a very recent Press Release from Lockheed Martin, there is the possibility of increasing the missile capability, albeit using a large and heavy revolving feeder. The F-35B is seriously limited in range and, with that capacity of munitions, it wouldn't need stealth at all, not with its limited combat radius. (US Military Doctrine suggests that US Marines would not be inserted into an area where the US hasn't achieved air superiority – and it is the USMC which is planning to utilise the F-35B !)
The so-called 'Stealth' has only been achieved by compromise – it is intended to operate at (NATO) F-band and I-band. I have news for you – the counter-stealth radars that I worked on in 1999 show up so-called stealth aircraft as though they were big old bombers. Even some of the UK's old AD equipment could readily detect F-117 at ranges you would be amazed at – obviously the figure is highly classified, but all you had to do was visit the 'War Trials Site' not far from RAF Spadeadam in the UK, where a bi-annual Test of Air Offence and Land-based Defence was held for friendly NATO countries (if you had Clearance) and you would probably have been somewhat upset of the high 'detection and kill rate' of Rapier FSB1M against US fighters. As long as there are cables in an aircraft – it is NOT stealth.
Please don't re-interpret what I wrote, and then dismiss it as rubbish. That's simply blind foolishness.
I accept that the illustrated versions of UAVs and UCAVs were early models, and would not currently have the (intended) capability of the F-35. The units in advanced Development are too highly Classified to report upon. There is a serious error in your comment about "lines of code". Back in 2004, AOS flew TWO cooperating, autonomous UAVs across Test Areas in Australia. The code was Java, and is written using a tool called JACK™. The cockpit voice recognition of the Australian Buy of the F-35, using 'context-sensitive' algorithms, uses JACK™ – derived software. (As AOS is a Client of mine, I have no intentions of discussing the exact nature of the implemented code, but you could always check that with the JSF Program Office.) Compared with that, the flying code software is no 'biggy'. That's why the UK is ahead of the USA in cooperative operations with UAVs and UCAVs operating in Civil Airspace – check out Project ASTRAEA. Since Lockheed-Martin have been 'playing' with JACK™ for some time, at their "Skunk Works", you might care to check your facts.
IF the F-35 is relatively straightforward technology implementation, as you say, then why does it cost so much ? WHY were Development Costs "always going to be high" – please expand on that, or is that a 'cover-up' remark ? And why do the costs keep escalating ? And why are airframes developing fatigue (see Admiral Venlet's comments, in the link above) ?
Sorry, William. I guess that many Americans feel somewhat 'patriotic' to the F-35, but facts are facts, whether or not you like them. From my viewpoint, I wish that the F-35 was further ahead and in-service with the UK (but at a much lower cost).
I have been following the development of the F-35 with great interest, since my new Designs for the UK Queen Elizabeth carriers' organic MASC had to interoperate with the F-35. I have spent some 40 years in Defence Electronics and Avionics, and can usually, with a simple glance at an antenna, describe the parameters and performance of the radar or ESM or ECM. The Radar Equation and ESM Characteristics are now built into my brain, as are a variety of transmitters and active arrays (ever since 1981, when I designed my first nuclear-hardened active array). And I know my stealth ! (I guess that you knew that a Brit, trained at Cranfield College of Aeronautics, was recruited to run the US Stealth program ?)
Believe it or not, but my article was NOT intended to 'debunk' the F-35, but simply point out the inevitable – that future combat aircraft will be unmanned. In WWI, the pilots could damage the aircraft during manoeuvres; in WWII, the pilot and the aircraft were built of similar strength. In today's world, the aircraft can outperform a pilot (who would 'black out' at the g-forces that modern aircraft can achieve). And those words came from American pilots.
I'll let the last words come from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-35_Lightning_II Enough said ?

I do that thing where when I find a song I like, I listen to it over and over and over again. Lately, that's been the case with Tegan and Sara's "I Was a Fool," from the Canadian twins' 2013 album Heartthrob. It's catchy and slightly haunting—and making me seriously neglect every other tune Spotify has to offer.
So, when I discovered the duo recently collaborated with L.A.-based vegan sneaker line Keep on two adorable pairs of limited-edition lace-ups—and that each purchase comes with a free download of a remixed version of my newly-discovered favorite anthem—I couldn't help but want to buy both. Immediately. Plus (and more importantly), proceeds from each sale go directly to New York Civil Liberties Union's Teen Activist Program. That's killing, like, three birds with one stone.

Otto Porter makes NBA debut for Wizards vs. Bucks
Otto Porter makes NBA debut for Wizards
Otto Porter looked very much like a rookie who is getting his first action of the season for the Wizards against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Porter was called for traveling on his first possession as he faced up and picked up his pivot foot before dribbling. Shortly after that, he lobbed an airball on his first attempt as he was challenged on a 20-foot jump shot by Giannis Antetokounmp.
Porter started the second quarter. He wasn't expected to log many minutes, but entered the game after Martell Webster went down with a sprained left ankle to end the first quarter.
Webster took a runner as he tried to beat the buzzer but came down writhing in pain. His return is doubtful.
The Wizards' top draft pick in June at No. 3 overall, Porter strained his right hip flexor Sept. 13 and didn't have his first full-contact practice until last week.
Porter has practiced three consecutive days this week.

Article: Clinical significance of blood brain natriuretic peptide level measurement in the detection of heart disease in untreated outpatients: comparison of electrocardiography, chest radiography and echocardiography.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of present study was to compare the predictive characteristics and cost-benefit of measuring the concentration of blood brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), compared with electrocardiography (ECG), chest radiography and echocardiography, as a diagnostic test for heart disease. The study group comprised 130 untreated patients who had symptoms suggestive of heart disease. According to the results of additional examinations and follow-up checks, 86 patients were diagnosed as having heart disease and 44 patients were judged free of heart disease. Positive findings in each test suggestive of heart disease were checked in accordance with criteria, and the number of positive and negative cases for each test was calculated. The predictive characteristics, such as specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive values, of each test and the cost-benefit value were calculated and analyzed statistically. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of blood BNP and echocardiography were significantly greater than those of ECG and chest radiography. Echocardiography had a significantly lower cost-benefit value compared with measuring blood BNP concentration. Thus, the blood BNP concentration had significantly higher predictive characteristics than ECG and chest radiography, and a cost-benefit value significantly greater than that of echocardiography.Circulation Journal 03/2002; 66(2):122-6. · 3.94 Impact Factor

Start of Clipper race 5 - Fremantle to Singapore
The start of Race 5 from Fremantle, Western Australia to Singapore took place at 1400 local time (0500 GMT) on New Year's Day, with Durban 2010 and Beyond, Glasgow: Scotland with style Clipper and Uniquely Singapore the first three boats to cross the line as the cannon fired. Huge crowds turned out to see the event and were entertained with some close tactical light wind racing in Fremantle's Inner Harbour.
The local sea breeze known as the Fremantle 'Doctor' failed to blow as predicted, and although Durban 2010 and Beyond made steady progress towards the first of three marks in the harbour, they were hampered by patches of wind shadow. Following them round the first mark was the home-port team, westernaustralia2011.com, who with tactical positioning moved into second place.
The light winds played havoc with the whole fleet as they concertina-ed at the far end of the harbour and positions changed as each mark was rounded. With some of the closest racing seen so far in the Clipper 07-08 Race, the excitement built as the boats raced back out of the harbour and past Fremantle's iconic Maritime Museum. To the delight of the home crowd, the Western Australian team managed to sneak ahead of Durban 2010 and Beyond as they headed out to sea.
Speaking ahead of the race start, westernaustralia2011.com's skipper Martin Silk said: 'We have a full crew for the next leg and I'm fairly optimistic about our chances as we have some good local knowledge onboard. I hope we can do Western Australia proud by gaining another podium position into Singapore.'
The close racing in the Inner Harbour was always going to be challenging for the ten teams taking part in the race. Qingdao remained at the back of the fleet around all three Inner Harbour marks and reflected Marcus Cholerton-Brown's pre-race plans for a clean start. 'With ten boats moving in close proximity to each other in the harbour, it's going to be a real challenge,' said Marcus prior to their departure. 'The crew will need to be focused and we're aiming for a clean start.'
Heading our of the harbour, the teams readied their spinnaker poles for the downwind leg of the course and, despite rounding the harbour mark first, westernaustralia2011.com struggled to set their spinnaker and Durban 2010 and Beyond took advantage and reclaimed the pole position. Battling it out for third place was Glasgow: Scotland with Style Clipper and Hull & Humber, closely followed by Liverpool 08. New York, Nova Scotia and Qingdao were tightly packed as headed into the downwind section of the course with Jamaica and Uniquely Singapore bringing up the rear due to problems with their kite hoists.
The pressure will be on for the team from Singapore, as they race the 2,429 miles to their home port. One of the teams with the biggest crew changeover during the two-week stopover in Fremantle, Uniquely Singapore skipper Mark Preedy indicated that he was planning on taking things easy. 'We have twelve new crew onboard which will make it tricky at first,' explained Mark this morning. 'Hopefully we can build their confidence early and have a successful race into our home port.'
The South African team showed no signs of letting up as they headed towards the final mark before turning towards the Sunda Straits. This is contrary to how their skipper Ricky Chalmers suggested they were going to take the beginning of Race 5. 'We're going to play it cool at the race restart,' said Ricky. 'I've told the crew to see it as a bit of fun and not get too competitive.'
However it was the homeport team, westernaustlia2011.com who rounded the final mark in first place and a successful kite hoist saw them extend their lead as the fleet headed North to Singapore at the end of a successful two-week stopover Fremantle.
Western Australia's minister for Tourism Sheila McHale was present at the race start and spoke of their pride in hosting the Clipper Race. 'Fremantle is the perfect location for the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race,' said Ms McHale. 'Through sponsoring the event we are able to promote the harbour, the city and the region around the world. It is a magnificent event and money can't buy this sort of publicity.'
The fleet has a two week race ahead of them to Singapore and it is one of the most complex courses within the whole round the world race. With strong winds predicted as they race up the WA coast these will be followed by lighter winds and squalls as they approach the monsoon trough and the Indonesian islands. Added to this there is the ever-present danger of a Tropical Cyclone and the crews have to remain alert. The yachts will then enter the confines of the Java Sea through the Sunda Straits before crossing the finish line off the coast of Indonesia.
The boats are due to arrive in Singapore on 19 January after a short stopover in Batam, Indonesia to ensure the fleet arrives together for the grand opening of the Marina at Keppel Bay where they will be hosted for the duration of the Singapore stopover.

Not yet, anyway. And for the record, as I believe I have already explained once before, the terms Small Block and Big Block come from a time when the only thing that mattered was whether you had a small V8 or a big V8, Honda I4's need not apply. If your knowledge matched your enthusiasm, you wouldn't be so quick to spew like you do. The F1 specs are closer to 800hp at 18,000rpm, 2.4 liter V8 (small block, BTW). The extreme rpm is a function of horsepower. If the F1 V8 were 8 liters at 18,000rpm it'd kick out 2,500hp. Wow, that'd be great is a 3,000lb grocery-getter. NOT. The F1 is a race engine, and race engines don't mix with street duty.
Actually, there is no replacement for displacement. Technology improves output, but apply that same tech to a larger engine, and it'll be that much better. You cannot cherry-pick a small F1 engine and say it's better than a typical street engine, just as you would not put a street engine in an F1. By that reasoning, why not just strap on a Saturn 5 (also by us old-timers who actually knew how to get things done)? That'll outperform anything. I don't know why I get sucked into this with you. I halfway expect you to say, "Wow, that'd be silly using a Saturn 5, you'd just melt the road and set cars on fire."
Look, it's hard enough to get close to the problems people present on here, especially when it's sight unseen. Nobody gets it right all the time. Now stop with the cheap shots before we are BOTH shown the door.
It is stupid the old saying that bigger size more power. The F1 engines make decent power, now of course anything operating over 8000RPM isn't really street specific. But it is still 800HP from a very small displacement, now the moment of force is different story especially since it's torque production is so so low and they idle at like around 1500RPM some of them. But forget about the big block small block crap, that doesn't matter to me because I obviously don't rely on size, turbo charging, or super charing to make power. I rely on proper design, physics to be the subject matter really. But I'm going to be honest, I think any vehicle is good for the street only because I drive like a nut! But I love the thrill of acceleration, but again acceleration brought on by moments of force so if I want acceleration I need torque at low speeds, but same time power production is needed. Anyways you are right, I am wrong there ya go.

On policymakers' loss function and the evaluation of early warning systems
This paper introduces a new loss function and Usefulness measure for evaluating early warning systems (EWSs) that incorporate policymakers' preferences between issuing false alarms and missing crises, as well as individual observations. The novelty derives from three enhancements: i) accounting for unconditional probabilities of the classes, ii) computing the proportion of available Usefulness that the model captures, and iii) weighting observations by their importance for the policymaker. The proposed measures are model free such that they can be used to assess signals issued by any type of EWS, such as logit and probit analysis and the signaling approach, and flexible for any type of crisis EWSs, such as banking, debt and currency crises. Applications to two renowned EWSs, and comparisons to two commonly used evaluation measures, illustrate three key implications of the new measures: i) further highlights the importance of an objective criterion for choosing a final specification and threshold value, and for models to be useful ii) the need to be more concerned about the rare class and iii) the importance of correctly classifying observations of the most relevant entities. Beyond financial stability surveillance, this paper also opens the door for cost-sensitive evaluations of predictive models in other tasks. JEL Classification: E44, E58, F01, F37, G01

Dominic Moore C/LW NYR 6 months ago1 Comment
Moore notched the game-winning goal Saturday in the Rangers' 2-1 win over the Lightning in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals. The goal came with just 2:25 left in the game.
He came out of the penalty box -- perhaps the longest two minutes of his hockey career -- and joined the rush. Moore then tipped Kevin Hayes' shot from the left wing past Ben Bishop for his first goal in 13 games this postseason. He doesn't get many points -- he delivers in many different ways on the ice. But this one was sweet.
Dominic Moore C/LW NYR 8 months ago
Moore registered a goal and assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.
While Moore's totals of 10 goals and 27 points in 82 games weren't likely to merit much intrigue in the fantasy realm, in considering that he routinely saw fourth-line duties to go along with a lack of power-play time, his scoring total is quite impressive. Coach Alain Vigneault can probably rest comfortably in the 34-year-old's ability to keep the Rangers' attack humming even when top centers Derek Stepan, Kevin Hayes, and Derick Brassard are on the bench.
Dominic Moore C/LW NYR 8 months ago
Moore scored two goals in Saturday's win over the Devils. He now has three goals in his last two games.
He goes through too many dry spells to be of much fantasy value (he'd been held off the scoresheet for eight straight before his current two-game streak). But it sure was a nice night for him.
Dominic Moore C/LW NYR 8 months ago
Moore opened up the scoring in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Wild with seventh goal of the season.
Surely a big monkey off the veteran back as it snaps a eight game point drought and marks Moore's first goal in exactly a month. While the fourth line center is the last thing fantasy owners write home about the 38-year-old Ontario native is a key component to the team's upcoming playoff run.
Dominic Moore C/LW NYR 8 months ago
Moore assisted on both goals in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Panthers.
The multi-point effort stops a five game skid without a point for Moore. The pair of points gives him his fifth 20-point season, but that level of production won't help out in most fantasy leagues.
Dominic Moore C/LW NYR 9 months ago
Moore bagged his sixth goal of the season in Monday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Moore has been prone to extended cold spells this season -- and just recently snapped a six game pointless skid -- but he's now found his way onto the scoresheet in consecutive outings. With just 19 points and no other particularly strong statistical category, Moore's fantasy value is restricted to the deepest formats.
Dominic Moore C/LW NYR 10 months ago
Moore provided a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Leafs.He'd gone without a point over the last four, but made a big contribution in this game against one of his many former teams. However, with just 16 points on the year and minimal contributions in the other statistical categories, Moore retains precious little fantasy importance.
Dominic Moore C/LW NYR 10 months ago
Moore scored a beautiful shorthanded goal in Saturday's win over the Hurricanes.
While it was only Moore's fourth goal of the season, the third-line centre has 14 points in 47 games, putting him on track for a 23-point season. Considering he's never surpassed 41 points in his career and only averages 14:12 of ice time, Moore is only valuable in the deepest of leagues.

He takes the potion, regenerates and says, "Doctor, no more."
The rooms come equipped with 4-poster wooden beds, potion bottles, cauldrons, and Hogwartsian accents—perfect for us mere muggles.
They are then blended with chicken broth and that potion is thickened with cream.
They give him a potion that will let him pick his next regeneration.
Mr. Gold, however, had other ideas, and tricked both Emma and Regina (Lana Parilla), taking the potion for himself.
She dosed him with great content, he, both hands in soap-suds, turning his head to receive the potion.
Juliet's query to the Friar had been, 'What if the potion should not work?'
The potion was swallowed, and they had only to abide the effects.
I took the potion which the count gave me; I lost my senses.
And the potion, which was made after a recipe of that same Messer Laurens of Paris, cost no less.

Sanskrit pati "drinks," panam "beverage;" Greek pinein "to drink," poton "that which one drinks," potos "drinking bout;" Old Church Slavonic piti "to drink," pivo "beverage"). Potus as a past participle adjective in Latin meant "drunken."

what's the rationale for Vulcan emotional suppression?
View Single Post

Fleet Captain
Location: Washington, DC - Taxation Without Representation
Re: what's the rationale for Vulcan emotional suppression?
I have been giving more thought to the Romulan question (which is inexorably linked to any discussion of Vulcan history) and believe that another possibility can reconcile the two, one which fits in well with established Trek lore (in style, at least).
We have to accept that there is a biological component to this. After all, Romulan traits were obviously inherent enough to show up as distinct on 23rd/24th century medical scans. In other words, despite the relationship, they were obviously regarded as another race (maybe subspecies?) by the Federation, and not just another faction of Vulcans.
Maybe it's more in line with Andorian/Aenar than European/African. Maybe the Romulans' ancestors were already what they've been seen as or well on the path to becoming this by the time they left Vulcan. Obviously the Aenar had millenia, if not millions of years to diverge, but who's to say it wasn't the same on Vulcan? It's been less than 50,000 years since another species of sapient humans walked our own Earth, after all (even if we rarely crossed paths).
It's certainly not outside the realm of possibility that the Romulans were already "Romulan", in form if not in name, long before they left Vulcan. Hell, it's established that even the Vulcans' own recollection of that time and how the Romulans fit in is fragmentary at best. History is funny like that (remember the "myth" about Troy?).
So what this all means is that maybe the Romulans tell us nothing at all about the Vulcans desire/need to suppress their emotions.

a few of the party girl's favorites...
Disney Princess Party Ideas
Almost every little girl wants to be a princess at some point in her young life. Putting on a sparkly dress and tiara and dreaming about Prince Charming is the ultimate fantasy! Make her dream come true (even if it's only for an afternoon) and throw a Princess Party. With little effort on your part, you will have a roomful of smiling, joyful Cinderellas, Belles and Snow Whites. It's the perfect way to help make your own little princess' dreams come true!
Princess Invitations
Send an invitation that will have all of your guests giggling with excitement! A personalized princess birthday invitation - maybe even one with a picture of the princess on it – will be sure to gain a place of honor on the refrigerator door. Be sure to encourage your guests to wear their favorite ball gowns; tiaras can be optional.
Another great invitation option is the Princess dreams fill-in invitations. Just write in the party information, add an address and a stamp and drop them in the mail. Let the royal celebration begin!
You can also make your own invitation which is lots of fun and a great way to get your princess involved. Cut crowns or tiaras out of card stock paper. Choose gold, purple or deep pink, all very royal colors. Using glitter glue, outline both sides of the invitation. Write the party information with a silver, gold or black marker, add some sparkle star confetti in the envelope for a little extra pizzazz and drop your party proclamations in the mail!
If the guest list is small, consider buying a few tiaras and using them as the invitations. Cut diamond shapes out of pink or purple cardstock paper. Write the party information on them, punch one hole in the top and attach them to the tiaras with a thin satin ribbon. Drop the invitations off at your guests' houses. Everyone will be so excited to receive her very own tiara and you're guaranteed a well-dressed crowd!
Princess Decorations and Party Supplies
Start with a few WOW decorations that will show everyone what a special day it is! As all the princesses enter the castle welcome them with a personalized princess banner featuring the guest of honor. As you guests walk in the castle gates (ok so it's really the front door) they will see a fabulous life-sized cutout of the guest of honor as a beautiful princess!
How about a sign-in area where everyone can leave a message for the birthday girl? Create a sign in board that looks like a royal proclamation (take a long piece of white butcher paper, which can be purchased at the grocery store, roll it at both ends and attach to foam core or another hard surface so it will be easy to write on). It will be a memento fit for a princess – or even a queen – and cherished long after the party is over.
Dress up your party room to look like a magic kingdom. Hang a princess scene kit, drape the walls and ceiling with in pink, purple and white crepe paper. Attach removable princess wall decorations or movie posters for extra fun. Make sure there is a music playing all the time. Soundtracks from all the classic princess movies are easily available and your guests will love dancing and singing along.
Nothing says a party like balloons so be sure to place balloon bouquets around the room. Make a royal-looking bouquet using purple balloons with stars. Or, use solid bouquets of pink and purple balloons accented with a princess foil balloon or even a crown balloon that says princess on it! Be sure to use balloons to decorate the tables and help define the party area. Place some near the entrance and any activities too!
Princess Table Decorations and and Menu
Cover your table with a pretty princess pink tablecover or a wonderful Disney princess dreams table cover. Scatter sparkle star confetti and pink heart confetti over the table to make it look even more festive. Keep the "dreamy" feeling going with Disney princess dream shaped plates. Wrap the plastic cutlery in a napkin and tie it off with silver ribbon or use a princess hair snap or elastic band – your guests will love to take these home and wear them again and again.
Centerpieces are always a nice addition to any table and they don't have to be expensive. You can make your own using crowns and beads and princess dolls. The Disney's princesses fairy tale friends centerpiece is also a great choice. It matches all your paper goods, looks great and will delight your guests. Remember those balloon bouquets you placed by the front door? Move one to the table for added color and height.
A royal celebration deserves a royal meal!
- Serve sandwiches in the shape of crowns – cut them out yourself or buy a crown-shaped cookie cutter.
- A shiny red apple is a perfect healthy and theme-appropriate addition to your feast. (Assure your guests that you did not get these apples from the evil queen!) Serve a fun fizzy pink punch by mixing raspberry sherbet and either ginger ale or lemon lime soda. Add colorful ice cubes made from frozen grape juice or fruit punch.
- Dessert can be delicious cupcakes with pink, purple or white frosting. Add a fun cupcake topper like a ring or princess figure to them.
- If you're making a cake, create a fabulous castle cake (recipes are available in children's cookbooks or online) or build your cake around a princess doll where the ball gown is the actual cake. Or even a simple cake with a princess cake topper is sure to be a hit!
Princess Party Activities
After your royal meal, have your guests escorted to the game area. Announce each princess, and have her curtsy as she walks in accompanied by a soundtrack of trumpet music.
No matter how sophisticated and elegant the princesses are, they're sure to love a princess piñata stuffed with pink bubble gum, candy necklaces and bracelets, inexpensive lip glosses, ring pops and pink rock crystal candy.
Your guests will love to create their own tiaras and crowns! Give each princess a cardstock crown and provide markers, sticker jewels and glitter glue for decorating. You can have everyone model her creation. This is a great activity since the crown becomes a party favor as well!
Coloring pages, showing a princess-theme movie, or reading a story about a princess (your local library is sure to have an extensive collection) are all quieter, but equally good activities. Games like "hot crown" (played like hot potato) or "pin the crown on the princess" are easy and entertaining. Younger guests might prefer more low key fun.
Princess Theme Party Favors
A small pink or purple bag, available at local discount or craft stores, make wonderful favor bags. Have your birthday princess decorate them with Cinderella dreamland stickers or Disney princess raised stickers (these are really cool). Be sure to buy extras to include in the party bags. You can also add these special treats:

A talentless whore dresses like a talentless whore, which causes a tear in the space time continuum, dragging her mid forty self back from a universe where plastic surgery was outlawed. Sadly, just three seconds later, they both imploded creating a mega whoremation resulting in the genesis of a Super Kardashian.
Millions perished.
Wasn't that a song by Muse?
"Supermassive black whore"-or something…
Honestly Don, after reading your posts…
I think if a woman has a pulse (and that may be optional) you think she looks good.
I'm not as cynical as most people around here. I'm not afraid to say someone looks good even if I don't like them at all.
Fair enough. I'll take your honest and serious answer, and raise…
For me attractiveness isn't just a body. Its the behavior that goes along with that person. For instance, on a purely physical level, Miley Cyrus with her hair long, and dressed in some decent clothing looks attractive. However, the minute she starts hanging her tongue out of her mouth like my Lab in the car, dressing in clothing that isn't flattering… and worse, speaking… (And it becomes painfully clear how little life experience, or even raw intelligence she possesses)… she ceases to be attractive anymore.
I think I just overshared.
Oh well.
That's perfectly fair. There are lots of people who are physically attractive but their personality is a dealbreaker.

Viva La Revolución: Mexico 1910 in Retrospect
Saturday, November 6, 2010
12:00pm @ Central Library
News photographer Agustín Victor Casasola is renowned in Mexico for his vivid images that depict what author Pete Hamill has termed "the immense social cataclysm called the Mexican Revolution." Little known outside of his own country, Casasola nonetheless ranks as a leading early 20th century practitioner of photojournalism.
To mark the centennial of this momentous period in Mexican history, Viva La Revolución: Mexico 1910 in Retrospect features 50 rarely seen photographs by Casasolas that document the downfall of the Porfirio Diaz dictatorship, civil strife, outright war, and the social transformation of the Mexican people.
The exhibit is a program of the Consulate of Mexico.

MISSISSIPPI BANZAI is another in XTR's many alternate-history wargames. This one takes its cue from the post WW2 oddness of Tomorrow the World, where the Germans and Japanese win the war and conquer the entire planet.
MB is set in that alternate 1948 when the two powers square off against each other in the heartland of the former USA. The Germans move north from St. Louis while the Japanese move in from western Missouri and Iowa. MB's map has hexes 12 kilometers across, and counters represent 8,000 to 15,000 men, or 180 to 300 vehicles. It may not be to everyone's taste because of the alt-history premise of the game.
Republished in Command Magazine Japan #28.
Included later also in Command Magazine Japan "Extra issue" #19 with Black Gold (Texas Tea).
This game completes the alternate-history wargame series, started by Triumph of the Will (Command #3&5), Tiger of Ethiopia (Command #4&6), Mississippi Banzai and concluded with Black Gold (Texas Tea).
