Article: Impact of Platelet Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibition on the Paclitaxel-Eluting Stent in Patients With Stable or Unstable Angina Pectoris or Provocable Myocardial Ischemia (A TAXUS IV Substudy)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Whether the benefits that glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors confer in patients who undergo bare metal stent implantation extend to drug-eluting stents is unknown. We performed a prespecified subgroup analysis of the TAXUS IV study population to examine the effect of procedural glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibition during paclitaxel-eluting stent implantation on periprocedural creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) levels. Glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitors were administered to 57.7% of patients who had been randomized to receive the TAXUS stent and to 56.7% of those who had been randomized to receive the control stent. Among patients who received the TAXUS stent, the rate of CK-MB increases of >3 times the normal level was 2.6-fold higher in those who received a GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor than in those who did not (11.4% vs 4.4%, p = 0.0015). Composite rates of major adverse cardiac events and target vessel failure were also higher at 1 month in the GP IIb/IIIa group. By multivariate analysis, use of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors during stenting with the TAXUS stent was an independent predictor of CK-MB increases >3 times the normal level. Further studies are warranted.
Article: Comparison of bivalirudin versus heparin during percutaneous coronary intervention (the Randomized Evaluation of PCI Linking Angiomax to Reduced Clinical Events [REPLACE]-1 trial)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To assess the efficacy of the direct thrombin inhibitor bivalirudin relative to heparin during contemporary coronary intervention, 1,056 patients who underwent elective or urgent revascularization were randomized in a large-scale pilot study to receive heparin (70 U/kg initial bolus) or bivalirudin (0.75 mg/kg bolus, 1.75 mg/kg/hour infusion during the procedure). All patients received aspirin; pretreatment with clopidogrel was encouraged, and glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa blockade was at the physician's discretion. Stents were placed in 85% of patients; 72% received a GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor, and 56% were pretreated with clopidogrel. Activated clotting times were higher among patients randomized to bivalirudin than among those given heparin before device activation (median 359 vs 293 seconds, p <0.001). The composite efficacy end point of death, myocardial infarction, or repeat revascularization before hospital discharge or within 48 hours occurred in 5.6% and 6.9% of patients in the bivalirudin and heparin groups, respectively (p = 0.40). Major bleeding occurred in 2.1% versus 2.7% of patients randomized to bivalirudin or heparin, respectively (p = 0.52). This trial represents the largest prospective dataset of bivalirudin administered concomitantly with planned GP IIb/IIIa blockade and provides evidence of the safety and efficacy of this combined antithrombotic approach.
Article: Non-Polymer-Based Paclitaxel-Coated Coronary Stents for the Treatment of Patients with De Novo Coronary Lesions: Angiographic Follow-Up of the DELIVER Clinical Trial[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Paclitaxel, a microtubule-stabilizing compound with potent antitumor activity, has been shown to inhibit smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration. The DELIVER trial was a prospective, randomized, blinded, multicenter clinical evaluation of the non-polymer-based paclitaxel-coated ACHIEVE stent compared with the stainless steel Multi-Link (ML) PENTA stent. A total of 1043 patients with focal de novo coronary lesions, <25 mm in length, in 2.5- to 4.0-mm vessels were randomized (ACHIEVE n=524; ML PENTA n=519). Angiographic follow-up was performed in a subset of 442 patients (ACHIEVE n=228; ML PENTA n=214). Prespecified end points were a 40% reduction in target-vessel failure at 9 months (primary clinical end point) and a 50% reduction in binary restenosis at 8 months (major secondary end point). Baseline clinical characteristics were comparable between the groups. Patients in ACHIEVE had more type C lesions and a larger reference diameter. At follow-up, stent late loss was 0.81 versus 0.98 mm (P=0.003), stent binary restenosis was 14.9% versus 20.6% (P=0.076), and target-vessel failure was 11.9% versus 14.5% (P=0.12) for ACHIEVE and ML PENTA, respectively. The ACHIEVE paclitaxel-coated stent decreased neointimal proliferation compared with the bare-metal PENTA stent; however, this reduction was insufficient to meet the prespecified primary end point of target-vessel failure and the secondary end point of binary restenosis.

Friday Night Flicks Presents: Gran Torino
Friday, June 19th at 6:30 p.m. in the Community Room
Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino was quietly rolled out at Christmas 2008, whereupon it proceeded to blow away all the Oscar-bait behemoths at the box office and win its 78-year-old star the best reviews of his acting career. Eastwood plays a disgruntled Korean War vet, Walt Kowalski, who sets out to reform his neighbor, a young Hmong teenager, who tried to steal Kowalski's prized possession: his 1972 Gran Torino. Both film and performance are consummately sly--coming on with deceptive simplicity, only to evolve into something complex, powerful, and surprisingly tender. Just as Unforgiven was a tragic reflection on Eastwood's legacy in the Western genre, Gran Torino caps and eloquently critiques the urban heritage of Dirty Harry and his violent brethren. And on top of that, the movie becomes a savvy meditation on America in a particular historical moment, racially, economically, spiritually. Call it a "state of the union" message. But call it that with a wry grin. This is a remarkable movie.
Refreshments will be served. No reservations required. Rated: R
Cinema Club Presents: Revolutionary Road
Tuesday, June 2nd at 6:30 p.m. in the Community Room
In Revolutionary Road, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio reunite for the first time since their careers exploded with Titanic--and it's almost as if they're playing the same characters, only married and faced with the hollowness of a 1950s suburban existence. Frank and April Wheeler always thought of themselves as special, but they settled in a conventional Connecticut suburb when they had children. The portrait of a mismatched marriage is vivid and devastating. Winslet and DiCaprio's natural chemistry tells us what drew these two together, making the way they tear each other apart all the more shocking.
Discussion to follow movie. Refreshments will be served. No registration necessary. Rated: R
Friday Flicks Presents: Valkyrie
Friday, May 22nd at 6:30 p.m. in the Community Room

'Duck Dynasty,' Paula Deen, and the Hypocrisy of TV's Red State Obsession
I didn't really understand what Duck Dynasty was until this morning. As someone who grew up in a rural town in Virginia, there's nothing I want to see less than a cable reality series about so-called backwards Southern folk; I avoid it for the same reason that I avoided Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, because I feel like I know those people, and I also feel like those shows are laughing at them, not with them. Despite Duck Dynasty's runaway success, it's not for me.

Madoff Victim Fred Wilpon Hitting Up Mets Players for Loans to Bankroll Free Agent Signings
FLUSHING, NY -- The Mets said Thursday that despite the prominence of the principal owner, Fred Wilpon and his businesses, on a list of the victims of Bernard L. Madoff's suspected $50 billion Ponzi scheme, the team remains financially sound. While the Mets have not been acting like a team in financial crisis with several high-priced off-season signings, there are reports that the Wilpons, Fred and his son Jeff, have been "putting the arm" on several big ticket players for short term loans to cover their (undisclosed) losses and pay their free agents.
"I was at the mall with my family when I got a panicked call on my cell from Jeff (Wilpon)," said one of the players the Wilpons allegedly hit on. "I knew the Wilpons lost money in the Madoff scheme, but we all thought everything's ok, they've got diverse holdings. At first I wasn't sure I heard him correctly. I go 'Jeff, are you asking me for money?' He said it's just a short-term thing, they're having liquidity issues. I told him, hey, if you're having cash flow problems, why the hell did you just sign (Oliver) Perez to a three year $36 million deal? The line when silent for about five seconds and then it hits me - 'shit, what happens if come June they can't meet payroll?' As soon as I hung up I called my agent - I gotta get out of here."
Several former Mets received similar calls from either Jeff Wilpon or a member of the Mets organization.
"A couple of days ago I'm leaving a function marking the 40th anniversary of the '69 Mets and I got a call," said former Mets slugger Art Shamsky. "I was surprised, to say the least. Why me and not, oh, I don't know, someone like J.J. Putz, who's pulling in $5.3 per. I don't have that kind of money." Shamsky's deranged ex, who recently hounded Shamksy on the streets of Manhattan loudly accusing him of cheating on her with both men and women, chalked it up to an honest mistake. "A putz is a putz is a putz. I can see how the Wilpons got confused. But let's be clear: Arthur Shamsky is and will always be a putz. That's p-u-t-z. Putz."
When asked about these reports, Jeff Wilpon dismissed them, insisting the organization is on sound financial footing. "Just because you guys don't know how much money we have, doesn't mean we don't have money. We have other money from outside of this, tons of money. Loads. Piles. If you stacked up all the money we have in one dollar bills, it would reach two miles into space." Wilpon paused to let the visual sink in. "Unfortunately most of that money is tied up in investments. Our current cash reserves, if laid out end to end, would probably only reach the 48th floor of the Chrysler Building. But that's dollar bills; if they were gold bars - or chocolate bars in gold wrappers -- it would reach much, much higher."
When asked for his thoughts and insights into the Mets' financial status, former Met and current market whiz Lenny Dykstra was less than sanguine. "If they were a stock they'd be de-listed," he scoffed. "I haven't seen their balance sheet, but it can't be good - you're looking at a team with the second highest payroll in baseball. I don't know how they make it to the All-Star break without getting some of that TARP money."
A former SEC official thinks he sees a familiar pattern. "Borrowing money from players under contract to pay for free agents -- which sounds like what they're doing -- does appear to have a subtle Ponzi-like element to it. Not that my background with the SEC gives me any special insight into such things. But I could see how one might come to that conclusion."

Boeing F/A-18E "Super Hornet"
Archive Photos
Boeing F/A-18E "Super Hornet" (BuNo 165905) at the MCAS Miramar Air Show, San Diego, California (Photos by John Shupek)
The Boeing F/A-18E/F "Super Hornet" is a carrier-based strike fighter aircraft. The F/A-18E single-seat variant and F/A-18F tandem-seat variant are larger and more advanced derivatives of the F/A-18C and D Hornet. The Super Hornet has an internal 20 mm gun and can carry various air-to-air missiles and air-to-surface weapons. Additional fuel can be carried with up to five external fuel tanks and the aircraft can be configured as an airborne tanker by adding an external air refueling system.
Designed and initially produced by McDonnell Douglas, the Super Hornet first flew in 1995. Full-rate production began in September 1997, after the merger of McDonnell Douglas and Boeing the previous month. The Super Hornet entered service with the United States Navy in 1999, replacing the F-14 Tomcat since 2006, and serves alongside the original Hornet. In 2007, the Royal Australian Air Force ordered Super Hornets to replace its aging F-111 fleet.
The Super Hornet is a larger and more advanced variant of the F/A-18C/D Hornet. An early version was marketed by McDonnell Douglas as Hornet 2000 in the 1980s. The Hornet 2000 concept was an advanced version of the F/A-18 with a larger wing, longer fuselage to carry more fuel and more powerful engines.
US Naval Aviation faced a number of problems in the early 1990s. The A-12 Avenger II program, intended to replace the obsolete A-6 Intruders and A-7 Corsair IIs, had run into serious problems and was canceled. During this time the end of the Cold War resulted in military restructuring and budget cuts. With no clean-sheet program in the works, the Navy considered updating an existing design a more attractive approach. As an alternative to the A-12, McDonnell Douglas proposed the "Super Hornet" (initially "Hornet II" in the 1980s) to improve early F/A-18 models, and serve as an alternate replacement for the A-6 Intruder. At the same time, the Navy needed a fleet defense fighter to replace the canceled NATF, which was a proposed navalized variant of the F-22 Raptor.
Turning to the Super Hornet
The Super Hornet was first ordered by the U.S. Navy in 1992. The Navy would also direct that this fighter replace the aging F-14 Tomcat, essentially basing all naval combat jets on Hornet variants until the introduction of the F-35C Lightning II. The Navy retained the F/A-18 designation to help sell the program to Congress as a low-risk "derivative", though the Super Hornet is largely a new aircraft. The Hornet and Super Hornet share many design and flight characteristics, including avionics, ejection seats, radar, armament, mission computer software, and maintenance/operating procedures. In particular the F/A-18E/F retained most of the avionics systems from the F/A-18C/D's then current configuration.
The Super Hornet first flew on 29 November 1995. Initial production on the F/A-18E/F began in 1995. Flight testing started in 1996 with the F/A-18E/F's first carrier landing in 1997. Low-rate production began in March 1997 with full production beginning in September 1997. Testing continued through 1999, finishing with sea trials and aerial refueling demonstrations. Testing involved 3,100 test flights covering 4,600 flight hours. The Super Hornet underwent U.S. Navy operational tests and evaluations in 1999, and was approved in February 2000.
Initial Operational Capability (IOC) was achieved in September 2001 with VFA-115 at Naval Air Station Lemoore, California. The Navy considers acquisition of the Super Hornet a success with it meeting cost, schedule and weight (400 lb, 181 kg below) requirements.
Despite having the same general layout and systems, the Super Hornet differs in many ways from the original F/A-18 Hornet. The Super Hornet is informally referred to as the "Rhino" to distinguish it from earlier model "legacy" Hornets and prevents confusion in radio calls. This aids safe flight operations, since the catapult and arresting systems must be set differently for the heavier Super Hornet. The "Rhino" nickname was earlier used by the F-4 Phantom II, retired from the fleet in 1987.
The U.S. Navy currently flies both the F/A-18E single-seater and F/A-18F two-seater in combat roles, taking the place of the retired F-14, A-6 Intruder, S-3 Viking, and KA-6D. An electronic warfare variant, the EA-18G Growler, will replace the aging EA-6B Prowler. The Navy calls this reduction in aircraft types a "neck-down". In the Vietnam War era, the Super Hornet's capabilities were covered by no less than the A-1/A-4/A-7 (light attack), A-6 (medium attack), F-8/F-4 (fighter), RA-5C (recon), KA-3/KA-6 (tanker) and EA-6 (electronic warfare). It is anticipated that $1 billion in fleet wide annual savings will result from replacing other types with the Super Hornet.
In 2003, the Navy identified a flaw in the Super Hornet's under wing pylons, which could reduce the aircraft's service life unless repaired. The problem has been corrected on new airplanes and existing airplanes will be repaired starting in 2009.
In early 2008, Boeing discussed creating a Super Hornet Block III with the U.S. and Australian militaries. It would be a generation 4.75 upgrade with extra forward stealth capabilities and extended range, to be succeeded in 2024 by a sixth-generation fighter.
The Super Hornet is about 20% larger, 7,000 lb (3,000 kg) heavier empty, and 15,000 lb (6,800 kg) heavier at maximum weight than the original Hornet. The Super Hornet carries 33% more internal fuel, increasing mission range by 41% and endurance by 50% over the "Legacy" Hornet. The empty weight of the Super Hornet is about 11,000 lb (5,000 kg) less than that of the F-14 Tomcat that it replaced, while approaching, but not matching the payload / range of the larger plane.
Airframe Changes
The forward fuselage is unchanged but the remainder of the aircraft shares little with earlier F/A-18C/D models. The fuselage was stretched by 34 inches (0.86 m) to make room for fuel and future avionics upgrades and increased the wing area by 25%. However, the Super Hornet has 42% fewer structural parts than the original Hornet design. The General Electric F414 engine, developed from the Hornet's F404, has 35% more power. The Super Hornet can return to an aircraft carrier with a larger load of unspent fuel and munitions than the original Hornet. The term for this ability is known as "bringback." Bringback for the Super Hornet is in excess of 9,000 pounds (4,000 kg).
Other differences include rectangular intakes for the engines and two extra wing hard points for payload (for a total of 11). Among the most significant aerodynamic changes are the enlarged leading edge extensions (LEX) which provide improved vortex lifting characteristics in high angle of attack maneuvers, and reduce the static stability margin to enhance pitching characteristics. This results in pitch rates in excess of 40 degrees per second, and high resistance to departure from controlled flight.
Radar Signature Reduction Measures
Survivability is an important feature of the Super Hornet design. The US Navy took a "balanced approach" to survivability in its design. This means that it does not rely on low-observable technology, such as stealth systems, to the exclusion of other survivability factors. Instead, its design incorporates a combination of stealth, advanced electronic-warfare capabilities, reduced ballistic vulnerability, the use of standoff weapons, and innovative tactics that cumulatively and collectively enhance the safety of the fighter and crew.
The F/A-18E/F's radar cross section was reduced greatly from some aspects, mainly the front and rear. The design of the engine inlets reduces the aircraft's frontal radar cross section. The alignment of the leading edges of the engine inlets is designed to scatter radiation to the sides. Fixed fanlike reflecting structures in the inlet tunnel divert radar energy away from the rotating fan blades.
The Super Hornet also makes considerable use of panel joint serration and edge alignment. Considerable attention has been paid to the removal or filling of unnecessary surface join gaps and resonant cavities. Where the F/A-18A-D used grilles to cover various accessory exhaust and inlet ducts, the F/A-18E/F uses perforated panels that appear opaque to radar waves at the frequencies used. Careful attention has been paid to the alignment of many panel boundaries and edges, to scatter traveling waves away from the aircraft.
It is claimed that the Super Hornet employs the most extensive radar cross section reduction measures of any contemporary fighter, other than the F-22 and F-35. While the F/A-18E/F is not a true stealth fighter like the F-22, it will have a frontal RCS an order of magnitude smaller than prior generation fighters.
The Super Hornet's original avionics and software have a 90% commonality with then current F/A-18C/D's. The Super Hornet features a new touch-sensitive, up-front control display; a larger, liquid crystal multipurpose color display; and a new engine fuel display.[25] The Super Hornet has a quadruplex digital fly-by-wire system, as well as a digital flight-control system that detects and corrects for battle damage. Initial production models used the APG-73 radar, later replaced by the APG-79 AESA.
The AN/ASQ-228 ATFLIR (Advanced Targeting Forward Looking InfraRed), is the main electro-optical sensor and laser designator pod for the Super Hornet. Defensive systems are coordinated through the Integrated Defensive Countermeasures system (IDECM). The IDECM system includes the ALE-47 countermeasures dispenser, the ALE-50 towed decoy, the AN/ALR-67(V)3 radar warning receiver, the ALQ-165 Airborne Self-Protect Jammer (ASPJ), and AN/AAR-47, an Infra-Red and Ultra-Violet Missile Approach Warning System (MAWS). Aircrew have the ability to use night vision goggles (NVG) for Super Hornet operations which means the aircraft interior and exterior lighting are NVG compatible.
Tanker Role
The Super Hornet, unlike the previous Hornet, can be equipped with an aerial refueling system (ARS) or "buddy store" for the refueling of other aircraft, filling the tactical airborne tanker role the Navy had lost with the retirement of the KA-6D and S-3B Viking tankers. The ARS includes an external 330 US gallon (1,200 L) tank with hose reel on the centerline along with four external 480 US gallon (1,800 L) tanks and internal tanks for a total of 29,000 pounds (13,000 kg) of fuel on the aircraft.
Beginning in 2005, new build aircraft received the APG-79 AESA radar. Earlier production aircraft will have their APG-73 replaced with the APG-79. As of January 2008, 135 earlier production aircraft are to receive AESA radar retrofits. VFA-213 "Black Lions" and VFA-106 "Gladiators" based at Oceana Naval Air Station were the first two squadrons to fly the AESA-equipped Super Hornets.
The new APG-79 AESA offers several advantages for the Super Hornet. The new radar enables the aircrew to execute simultaneous air-to-air and air-to-ground attacks. The APG-79 also provides higher quality high-resolution ground mapping at long standoff ranges. The AESA radar can also detect smaller targets, such as inbound missiles. VFA-213 became "safe for flight" (independently fly and maintain the F/A-18F) on 27 October 2006 and is the first Super Hornet squadron to fly AESA-equipped Super Hornets.
The AN/ALE-55 Fiber-Optic Towed Decoy will replace the ALE-50. The improved AN/ALQ-214 jammer was added on Super Hornet Block II.
The first Super Hornet upgraded with an aft cockpit Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) was delivered to VFA-213 on 18 May 2007. VFA-213 is the first squadron to receive the Dual-Cockpit Cueing System for both pilot and Weapon systems officer. The JHMCS provides multi-purpose aircrew situational awareness including high-off-bore-sight cueing of the AIM-9X Sidewinder missile. Shared Reconnaissance Pod (SHARP) is a high-resolution, digital tactical air reconnaissance system that features advanced day/night and all-weather capability.
In the future, air-to-air target detection using Infrared Search and Track (IRST) in the form of a passive, long range sensor that detects long wave IR emissions will be an option with a unique solution. This new device will be a sensor built into the front of a centerline external fuel tank. Operational capability of this device is expected in 2013.
Missions Performed
Operational History
United States Navy
The first unit to bring their F/A-18 Super Hornets to combat was VFA-115. On 6 November 2002, two F/A-18E's conducted a "Response Option" strike in support of Operation Southern Watch on two surface-to-air missile launchers at Al Kut and an air defense command and control bunker at Tallil Air Base. One of the pilots, Lieutenant John Turner, dropped 2,000 lb (900 kg) JDAM bombs for the first time from the F/A-18E in wartime.
In support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, VFA-14, VFA-41 and VFA-115 flew Close Air Support, strike, escort, SEAD and aerial refueling sorties. Two F/A-18E's from VFA-14 and two F/A-18Fs from VFA-41 were forward deployed to the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). The VFA-14 jets flew mostly as aerial refuelers and the VFA-41 jets as Forward Air Controller (Airborne) or FAC(A)s.
On 6 April 2005, VFA-154 and VFA-147 (the latter squadron then still operating "Legacy" F/A-18C) dropped two 500-pound laser-guided bombs on enemy insurgent location east of Baghdad.
On 8 September 2006, VFA-211 F/A-18F Super Hornet expended GBU-12 and GBU-38 bombs against Taliban fighters and Taliban fortifications west and northwest of Kandahar. This was the first time the unit was in combat with the Super Hornet.
During the 2006-2007 cruise with USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, VFA-103 and VFA-143 supported Operations Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom and operations off the Somali coast, and alongside "Legacy Hornet" squadrons VFA-131 and VFA-83, they dropped 140 precision guided weapons and performed nearly 70 strafing runs.
In 2007 Boeing proposed additional F/A-18E/Fs to the US Navy in a multiyear contract. In 2008, it was reported that the Navy was considering buying additional F/A-18 Super Hornets to bridge a "strike-fighter" gap. As of October 2008, Boeing has delivered 367 Super Hornets to the US Navy. On April 6th, 2009 Defense Secretary Gates announced that the Department of Defence intends to acquire further 31 F/A-18E/F in FY2010.
Royal Australian Air Force
On 3 May 2007, the Australian Government signed a contract to acquire 24 F/A-18Fs for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), at a cost of A$2.9 billion, as an interim replacement for the aging F-111's. The total cost with training and support over 10 years is A$6 billion (US$4.6 billion). The Super Hornet order has resulted from concern that the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) will not be operational by the time the F-111's are retired. RAAF pilots and air combat officers will begin training in the USA in 2009, with No. 1 Squadron and No. 6 Squadron planned to become fully operational with the F/A-18F in 2010.
The order has proved to be controversial, with the critics including some retired senior RAAF officers. Air Vice Marshal (ret.) Peter Criss, a former Air Commander Australia, said he was "absolutely astounded" that the Australian government would spend A$6 billion on an interim aircraft. Criss has also cited evidence given before the US Senate Armed Services Committee that the F/A-18F is inferior to the MiG-29 and Su-30, which are already operated, or have been ordered, by air forces in South East Asia. Air Commodore (ret.) Ted Bushell stated that the F/A-18F could not perform the role that the Australian government had given it, and the F-111 airframe design would remain suitable for the strategic deterrent/strike role until at least 2020. Some critics have claimed that the decision to buy the F/A-18F merely serves to ease the sale of additional Super Hornets to Australia, should the F-35 program "encounter more problems".
The initial package offered to the RAAF will include:
On 31 December 2007, the new Australian Labor government announced that it would review the purchase as part of a wider review of the RAAF's fighter procurement plans, with the possibility of the order for F/A-18Fs being either reduced or canceled. The main reasons given were concerns over operational suitability, the lack of a proper review process, and internal beliefs that an interim fighter was not required.
On 17 March 2008, the Government announced that it would proceed with plans to acquire all 24 F/A-18Fs. Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon said that, based on advice from the review team, the Government had concluded that it was necessary to purchase the Super Hornets, though they remained critical of the previous government's air power planning. He said no other suitable aircraft could be produced to meet the 2010 deadline for the retirement of the F-111 set by the former government and it was no longer possible to keep the F-111's in service past this date. The Government has also sought US export approval for EA-18G Growlers. On 27 February 2009 Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon announced that 12 of the 24 Super Hornets would be wired on the production line for future modification as EA-18Gs. The additional wiring would cost $35 million. The final decision on conversion to EA-18Gs, at a cost of $300 million, would be made in 2012.
Assembly of the first of RAAF's Super Hornets began on 9 December 2008 at Boeing's factory in St. Louis, Missouri.
Potential Operators
Boeing offered Malaysia the Super Hornets as part of a buy-back package for its existing F/A-18 Hornets in 2002. However, the Super Hornet procurement was halted after the government decided to purchase the Sukhoi Su-30MKM instead in 2007. But RMAF Chief Gen. Datuk Nik Ismail Nik Mohamaed indicated that the RMAF had not planned to end procurement of the Super Hornets, instead saying that the air force needed such fighters.
Boeing has delivered Super Hornet proposals to the Danish and Brazilian governments in 2008. The Super Hornet is one of three fighter aircraft in a Danish competition to replace 48 F-16's. In October 2008, it was reported the Super Hornet was selected as one of three finalists in Brazil's fighter competition. Brazil has put forward an initial requirement for 36 planes, with a potential total purchase of 120.
Boeing submitted a proposal for India's Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) competition on 24 April 2008. The Super Hornet variant being offered to India is named F/A-18IN. It will include Raytheon's APG-79 AESA radar. In August 2008, Boeing submitted an industrial participation proposal to India describing partnerships with companies in India.
On 10 March 2009, Boeing offered the Super Hornet for Greece's Next-Generation Fighter Program.
Each squadron has a standard unit establishment of 12 aircraft. The F/A-18E/F transition is still in progress as of early 2007.

Study Computer-Programming and Make Your Job Easier
For those who have employment where you sit behind a good bit of some time to a computer, you might likely create your life a great deal easier should you could study computer programming. I'm-not indicating you've to show into some sort of pc wizard, ofcourse, but if you were to understand how exactly to produce a couple of tiny applications that will do a few of the more boring projects foryou with simply the click of the switch, you can free up plenty of moment for other stuff.See if this heard this before; I have a PAL that works in buying at a very profitable business. Each day he has to have a spreadsheet from your prior morning and assess it to a different spreadsheet for your current day to ascertain what requested pieces attended in. He got rather industrious as well as got two pc watches put in place on his desk to ensure that he may take a look at both of them and assess them hand and hand. But that's where in actuality the engineering stops.
then has a notepad and a pen and begins reading the worksheet and writing material along. It usually takes him about 2 hours to do this. Everyday! Envision exactly how many problems he must create! Specially when you're writing down persons and volumes, and then sophisticated aspect figures keep coming in and stifling to request a query. I can't imagine my initial two hours of daily being that mind numbing and stressful.What my buddy doesn't understand is, the spreadsheet plan his corporation utilizes could be the hottest method out there. In-fact, the repository software they utilize to monitor the factory supply, the business which makes his spreadsheet plan additionally makes the e-mail application he employs, and even the term processing program they use for communication! Heck, they possibly produce the software which they use to complete shows to consumers! I'm not likely to name this software company, but Iam confident you'll be able to figure it out unless you have now been living in a soft tiny micro cave for last 30 years. Properly, this application company did a little issue that is pretty helpful when they constructed their bundle of software to offer towards the people.
They involved a little device withit which allows any every day Joe or Joann to create plans to manipulate their software in even more approaches than the things they launched. Shoot, they managed to get thus adaptable that you can write a program in it to do almost anything on your desktop and the only approach you would recognize it had been a spreadsheet (or email, or repository, etc.) program is by the star you've to click to get it running. That's cool.But not simply can it be cool, it's effective! If my buddy were to invest a little time understanding and familiarizing himself with this instrument, he can easily (and I do mean effortlessly), publish a program he can use so that when he extends to function, he may start a spreadsheet, click a, and literally seconds later have modern day spreadsheet compare itself with recently's spreadsheet and number out an in depth report about what had been acquired. There is two total hours from his evening he only reclaimed! Their supervisor has no thought what he has performed, what exactly may he do with that fraction of the workday he only obtained back? Possibly compose another software to generate a few other part of his task simpler? Or addon to his active system such that it automatically emails the report to his employer? Remember, the exact same software corporation made the method that was e-mail so it all functions together by-design.

A foreign delegation flew into Bangladesh on Sunday to identify the persons involved in laundering $200 million dollar to Singapore, and to help Bangladesh recover the money.
The money was allegedly paid in kickbacks to former prime minister Khaleda Zia's younger son Arafat Rahman Koko and several ministers of the last BNP-led four-party alliance government.
The team is having discussions with different government agencies including the Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) about the case of international money laundering involving Koko.
Meanwhile, outgoing Attorney General Salah Uddin Ahmad said the delegation already traced $200 million dollars of the laundered money, and the Bangladesh government must help them in recovering the amount which might even rise upon further investigation.
"The delegation is visiting Bangladesh to inform our government about the involvement of the former premier's son in the money laundering, and to assist Bangladesh in recovering it," Advocate Anisul Huq, a counsel to the ACC, told The Daily Star last night.
"The team will share all evidence, so the ACC may make use of those to bring the culprits to book," Anisul added.
Salah Uddin categorically mentioned that the foreign delegation came to Bangladesh to recover the laundered money, and to hand it over to the Bangladesh government, free of cost.
Different newspapers reported on Monday that a dozen of former BNP ministers were also involved in the international scandal and the visiting delegation handed over a list of 12 of them to the law minister during their meeting on Sunday.
Some newspapers also mentioned the names of some of those former ministers and their wives including of Barrister Moudud Ahmed, Dr Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain and his wife Bilkis Hossain, Nazmul Huda and his wife Sigma Huda, Anwar Hossain Manju and his wife Tasmima Hossain.
A source, however, told The Daily Star last night, "All the names mentioned in the newspaper reports are not on the list. The list includes only one or two."
The foreign delegation will stay in Bangladesh till Tuesday seeking mutual assistance in recovering about $200 million or more.
The delegation met the ACC yesterday, regarding which ACC Director General (Admin) Col Hanif Iqbal said, "The discussion was focused on various issues involving inter-country mutual assistance in recovering laundered money including evidence sharing."
In reply to a question regarding whether the foreign team sought any specific help in the investigation of Koko in connection with the money laundering, he said, "The matter figured prominently in the discussion," adding that both foreign governments and also the Bangladesh government have many evidence regarding Koko's involvement.
About the disclosure by the ACC about Koko siphoning off Tk 11 crore to a Singapore bank account, Hanif said, "The matter is under investigation, so details of it can't be discussed," but added, "There is no possibility of the amount of money coming down, rather it might go up."
The visiting foreign delegation is comprised of US Justice Department Deputy Chief Linda M Samuel, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Agent Deborah Heprevotte, and UK Institute of Management Consultant Ferdous Ahmed, who discussed the matter with the commission in an hour-long meeting in its headquarters in the capital since 9:30 in the morning.
Hanif Iqbal also said the ACC looks into issues of mutual legal assistance with instructions from the Attorney General's (AG) Office as the office is the central authority for dealing with Mutual Legal Assistance Request (MLAR).
When asked about the list of 12 accomplices published in the media he said, "The ACC is responsible to assist the central authority, it does not accept any such list directly from any body."
Bangladesh has agreements with the US and UK according to the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), under which the laundered money will be recovered from foreign banks.
Anisul Huq said the foreign delegation will recover the money and then hand it over to the Bangladesh government according to the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
He said if the accused are proven guilty they might be imprisoned for a maximum of seven years and fined.
The total processes of the recovery will be supervised by the UN, he added.
Meanwhile, Law Minister Shafique Ahmed yesterday told AFP that the US will help Bangladesh recover 200 million dollars of laundered foreign kickbacks to a group that includes 'a son of a former prime minister'.

this allegation happened for our corrupted political system. In the hestory said, people who come in power, they are doing corruption. this is very painful that i have to say. I see in every where in our society wither it is political and financial systems. Even i have to say in our journalism or judiciary system. what i can say we need change day by day of our system like it is happening little bit in our judiciary. In financial sector we need strong money londry act as well as decentralize of our accoutable financial syestem. It can happen only strong parlamentary political system. I am strongly suggesting that we need also upper level parlament system like senate. we must do it as early as possible.

We now know that more than 200 million USD has been given as bribes to KOKO and BNP leaders by foreign companies.
The question is who were the local agents for these companies? What action is ACC taking against them?
The corrupt politicians and corrupt local agents should be put behind bars and then no one will dare to do this type of deal again.

Perfect except for one major thing

Posted by Reviewer1221298 on Jun 06, 2014
The taste is completely addictive and the value is downright impressive. However, like almost every nutritional yeast around, it's fortified with folic acid, the synthetic form of B9, ubiquitously added to food products only since 1998. Recently I found a blog (search 'MTHFR') that cites plenty of research showing that genetic mutations resulting in the inability to effectively convert folic acid to the natural form folate are unbelievably common (in fact it was first discovered in 1999, the very year following the beginning of widespread fortification), and most who have these mutations never find out but often suffer serious long term health complications (since relatively few of us actually avoid folic acid). If this company were to provide a version that left it out, I would never stop buying it, because it's just plain one of my most cherished of foods.
Vegan delight!

Great product--wonderful stuff. It's powdery rather than flakey if that makes any difference to you. It doesn't to me. I use this on salads, stir-fries, and tons of other meals. It's a no-brainer to order this if otherwise unavailable in your area.
Very pleased with this product

I LOVE how creamy and savory this makes my pasta sauces! I'm adding it to everything. Bell pepper sauce, marina sauce, pesto sauce, etc. Way better than flakes - this stuff really mixes in. When I have time I'll try this on popcorn.

U.S. Air Force ABU (Airman Battle Uniform)
All Terrain Tiger™… massive upgrade for inadequate
ABU pattern, uniforms available Now!
ABU Development History
From it's inception in 2002, the initial tiger stripe ABU project I was tasked to organize, was never intended to develop a first class effective camouflage. USAF Chief of Staff Gen. Jumper's focus was to simply have a "distinctive" uniform that would be recognized as U.S. Air Force.
Contrary to my professional recommendations, the initial decision was to go with the fashionable blue tiger stripe. As was told to me, fabric durability, color retention, ease of care, uniform comfort, as well as a range of female sizing were high priorities while camouflage effectiveness was essentially unnecessary and a non-issue.
Rejecting my ideas for a camouflage effective distinctive uniform, I was essentially told to "file away my camo ideas" and do my job in just making a distinctive pattern. Numerous more field worthy patterns were submitted, all at well below market royalty prices. Leadership however, rejected them all in favor of the current ineffective jagged ABU digital tiger style. Simply following the digital camouflage lead of both the U.S.M.C. and U.S. Army, USAF leadership eventually selected a very ineffective substandard camouflage design with an even less effective colorway. (see at right)
Leadership also chose to close the ABU pattern off from any free market competition and only release it to manufacturers with a currently approved contract. You could not even get fabric to make a product sample without first having an approved contract for that item. This essentially stifles new product development as well as overall product availability. Not to mention keeping product prices high. From the start, I strongly suggested against closing any pattern off from the open market but was, again, ignored.
The initial "bright" ABU colorway was quickly found to be a distinct
disadvantage in a war zone because the uniform stood out too much.
The ABU's colorway was then toned down. It is no coincidence that it
"just happens" to more closely resemble the U.S. Army's UCP-ACU
colorway of the time.
U.S. Air Force personnel are not wearing the current USAF ABU pattern in Afghanistan/Iraq operations but are instead wearing the U.S. Army's Operational Camouflage Pattern uniform, the OCP. The U.S. Army is now wearing the OCP due to the fact that their Universal Camouflage Pattern(UCP), with it's ineffective colorway, has finally been found to be an overall very poor performing camouflage. The U.S. Army has now dumped their admitted failed colorway and camouflage design. Bottom line, the current U.S. Air Force ABU tiger pattern is every bit as totally inadequate as a field camouflage as was the U.S. Army's failed UPC pattern.
I'm truly sorry I couldn't have been more help in providing what was submitted to USAF leadership rather than what leadership ultimately selected. My copyrighted tiger stripe pattern, as well as digital designs in general, are not all inherently bad camouflages. Experience has shown that any pattern can quickly go bad when camouflage design amateurs enter the decision making equation or when the purpose is just to make a fashion statement.
UPDATE Sept 2014:
USAF says "no" to new camouflage. Leadership sites they like the look of USAF personnel in the current ABU tiger and with current budget constraints, they could not undertake a major uniform upgrade at this time. They also would prefer to save the individual Airman the personal financial cost incurred by upgrading to a single combat ready camouflage uniform.
Two uniforms… really?
One for show (USAF's ABU) and one for go (U.S. Army's OCP)?
How much is that costing the individual Airman?
If you're paying for your own combat uniform, why not make it an
outstanding effective camouflage that while unique, will not stand
out in the field. Plus, you do not have to borrow from the U.S. Army.
Doesn't it just make sense to give everybody in a hostile theater a
superior camouflage edge no matter what the job? All Terrain Tiger™
does that job. Still, I don't see the sense behind one pattern for "show"
and one for "go". Once again, All Terrain Tiger™ would more than
easily fill both requirements.
All Terrain Tiger™ is down range ready and is very affordable.
No $10,000 hammers here. If ever adopted, the modest royalty would,
again, be well below market. That would be well below what the
U.S. Army was charged for their camouflage thus, keeping costs down
to a minimum. All Terrain Tiger™ is currently open to the free market
ultimately promoting product development, supply, and lower prices.
I would not see that changing since the pattern is already in the
market place.
Despite speeches and some news reports, this war is far from over.
It would seem the other side doesn't care to curtail their aggression. In
today's world, everyone, including the USAF, needs and deserves a
real combat ready uniform and not a fashion statement. Hopefully,
funding will be found (soon) to finance the much needed
organizational upgrade to a SINGLE real-world camouflage such as
the All Terrain Tiger™ or even the SPEC-OPS TIGER™.
Not everyone in the U.S. Air Force knows about All Terrain Tiger™
(ATT™), but some installations, such as Nellis AFB, are currently
unofficially utilizing ATT™ in training with outstanding results.
Airmen, tell your friends at other bases. It is a very valuable tool
in training scenarios as well as in the field. Try the All Terrain Tiger™

This contrast between reserve and friendliness, between preening privilege and ordinary-guy accessibility, is supposed to work to President Obama's advantage in his reelection battle against Mitt Romney. After all, as a fresh-faced "hope-monger," freshman Senator Obama easily bested the crotchety war hero and Senate fixture John McCain in the personality contest of 2008. This year, a recent USA Today/Gallup Poll showed registered voters choosing Obama as more likable by a 2-to-1 margin, 60 to 30 percent. Three months earlier, an April Washington Post–ABC News Poll gave the president an even wider advantage with 64 percent selecting Obama as the "friendlier, more likable candidate" and only 26 percent choosing Romney as a potential pal.
Mark McKinnon, a one-time strategist for President George W. Bush, told The Washington Post that "likability is keeping Obama in the game at this point. But Romney has a lot of potential to improve his likability numbers, particularly during the convention … Romney hasn't really revealed much of his personal story or his personality, so he's got a lot more potential to grow."
To stifle that potential, forces aligned with the Obama campaign have spent literally hundreds of millions of dollars to define Mitt Romney negatively, piling on with an avalanche of hard-hitting ads about his tax returns, his record at Bain Capital, his off-key singing voice, his offshore bank accounts, his wife's horse, his Jet Ski, and even the tired old tale (laughingly told by Romney's own sons about a family trip 30 years ago) of the Irish Setter on the roof. A highly critical cover story in Newsweek focused on Romney's purportedly fatal "Wimp Factor" and in the course of the article even anointed him a "weenie."
In the end this emphasis on angry and highly personalized attacks (even when they don't come from the president himself) could end up doing as much damage to Obama's own likability as to Romney's. The candidate of hope and change, who promised to transcend the petty bickering of Washington and to usher in a new era of cooperation and harmony, now becomes a desperate battler in a barroom brawl who will pick up any available bottle or table leg to whack his opponent over the head. Polls show a growing perception that the president's been waging a more negative campaign than his opponent—and it's not just because he's spent far more money on attack ads so far.
Sure, Romney's unleashed his own barrage of harsh advertising and critical speeches, but they all concentrate on Obama's feckless performance as president: slamming him for economic failures, looming fiscal disaster, broken promises, and bungled foreign policy. Meanwhile, the Democratic assaults on Romney take aim at his personal life, his private-sector career, even his impeccable family. The American people can sense the difference.
For that reason, the all-out attack on Romney's character has so far proven an all-out bust, with the two candidates locked in a close race that's barely budged for months. The same USA Today/Gallup Poll that gave President Obama the big edge in likability also provided powerful good news for the Romney camp. The survey posed the question: "Now, I'd like you to think about Mitt Romney's background in business, including his time as head of Bain Capital. Do you think his business background would cause him to make good decisions or bad decisions as president in dealing with economic problems the U.S. will face over the next four years?"
By a stunning margin of 63 to 29, respondents believed that Romney's past as a businessman would lead to better decisions. Even 34 percent of Democrats saw his career in the private sector as an advantage. They also gave Romney a 19-point advantage in dealing with the federal budget deficit, a 10-point margin in general handling of the economy, and a 5-point edge in having the characteristics to "get things done."
While Obama loyalists cling to his nice guy image as a counterweight to Romney's perceived competence, there's reason to believe that the president's surviving likability advantage is not only overrated but profoundly misunderstood. Unlike Clinton and George W. Bush, he doesn't display an effortless common touch, and he's hardly an easy-going, down-to-earth guy. His public profile increasingly conforms to the descriptions of his closest acquaintances: he's a driven, tightly wound, fiercely competitive intellectual. It's not his race that disqualifies him as the neighbor across the fence, or even his high falutin' Ivy League education: it's the sense of anything-to-win desperation, and the inescapable mean streak, that increasingly mar his campaign.
Compare the president with his own running mate: Vice President Joe Biden, even when uttering the most inane, hyperpartisan, or incoherent sentiments, projects the unfailing image of a decent guy. He can be a doofus, most certainly, but it's hard to avoid the impression of a genial, well-meaning, comfortable old pol with a warm, beating heart. Obama, by contrast, can seem reptilian, positively cold-blooded in his calculation—and especially unappealing when he's pounding away at low-blow assaults that he doesn't even seem to believe himself, suggesting that Republicans want to throw kids out of preschool and deny medical care for Alzheimer's patients.
In the 2008 hope-and-change campaign he largely avoided such strident attacks because the economy then visibly collapsing under George W. Bush made them unnecessary. But this time the economic realities work against the sitting president. The essence of Obama's likability and magnetism in his first campaign involved his promise to bridge gaps and build solidarity, crashing all the ugly barriers of race, class, gender, and ideology. Instead, his presidency has proven the most polarizing of recent years. He can try to blame his Republican foes for the gridlock and back biting and lack of constructive communication in the nation's capital, but he can't deny that they exist. And he's been the man in charge these last four years.
Romney supporters insist that their man will emerge as more lovable after his convention showcase and the televised debates, but it may matter more to the outcome of the race that Obama seems less lovable—as he will if his campaign persists in its slashing attacks while paralysis in Washington approaches a crisis. When the incumbent is running one of the most ferociously negative campaigns within memory, he can hardly dodge responsibility for the toxic and increasingly dangerous divisions in the nation's capital.
It's entirely possible that by the end of an endless and exhausting campaign, both candidates will look distinctly unlikable, so that voters can finally put aside the geniality contest and chose between the off-putting pair based on the best ability to cope with the nation's dire challenges. Most voters get serious as Election Day approaches, which explains the unbreakable pattern of fringe-party contenders always getting fewer votes in the final tally than last-minute polls predicted. Especially in presidential contests, most Americans feel a sense of responsibility and earnestness by the time they cast their ballots and prove reluctant to waste their precious franchise on empty gestures.
By the same token, personality preferences may play a big role in summer polling three months before the election, but in the fall most voters will make their ultimate decision based less on likability and more on a capacity to tame the deficit. At a moment of inescapable social stress and looming economic catastrophe, one can only hope that the electorate won't shape its final judgment based on perceived "friendliness" but will focus instead on "the ability to get things done."

Anyone who has paid attention to developments in the world of business over the past quarter century knows that intellectual property ("IP")is a hot commodity. Indeed, in contrast to companies that emerged from the Industrial Revolution, many of the companies spawned during the Information Age attribute much of their value and prospects to intangible, rather than tangible, assets. Pursuant to IP theory, this shift in focus should have the desirable effect of encouraging more inventive and creative activity. From a practical point of view, it has created a situation where the value of a company can be more "smoke and mirrors" than real. … Read More
This article examines an unresolved tension between intellectual property law, which is premised on the power of an owner or creator to exclude others from the use of a patent or copyright (the "monopoly power"), and the principle that property should be freely assignable, which is intrinsic to restructuring under U.S. bankruptcy law. . . . … Read More

Currently listening to Regret (New Order)
Well the nice weather was not to last, but that's not such a bad thing because I still have plenty of winter wardrobe things to wear. One of which is this amazing knitted dress that B.'s mom's mom knitted back in the day and that she, most recently, passed onto me. I love the color of it and it makes a wonderful contrast with tough things like lame leggings and a leather jacket.

Though heading toward the Section III Division II playoffs, the CBA/J-D ice hockey team wanted a chance to be at home for at least one round.
But that would only happen if the Brothers finished in the top two of Division II West -- a prospect that dimmed in the wake of Monday night's 2-1 loss to Solvay at State Fair Coliseum in Geddes.
CBA/J-D would have more shots that Solvay, but most of them ended up turned away or gloved by Bearcats goaltender Ryan Bonk, who finished with 26 saves.
Down 1-0 going into the third period, the Brothers finally put a shot past Bonk, as Harry Kalet scored off a feed from Nick Papayanakos. But Solvay scored, too, and hung on for the win as Tom Missert and Carmen Brienza earned their goals.
That defeat seemed to have a long-term effect on the Brothers -- for when it met Corcoran Thursday night at Onondaga Nation Arena, it had all sorts of trouble in an 8-2 loss to the Cougars.
Papayanakos and Sean Lavin both scored in the first period, with Kalet, Brendan Flanagan, Taylor Furst and Josh Rathbun earning assists.
Still, Corcoran led, 4-2, after that period, then proceeded to dominate the rest of the game, keeping CBA/J-D off the board and adding to its margin by taking 42 shots. James Cathers (three goals, two assists), Edmund Cathers and Chris Domanski (two goals, two assists each) led the Cougars' attack.
Meanwhile, Fayetteville-Manlius could not break the shutout streak being built by state no. 1-ranked West Genesee in a 6-0 loss to the Wildcats Tuesday night at Shove Park.
WG had not allowed a goal since Jan. 9, when it beat Oswego 5-2. Since then, it had blanked five consecutive opponents, and F-M would be the sixth.
Tyler Palmerton would be under fire much of the night, and though he finished with 35 saves, he allowed three first-period goals that allowed WG to take control. By contrast, the Hornets had just six shots all night. Ryan Michel and Nick Holzhauer led the Wildcat, each of them earning a goal and two assists.

Homeless Man Returns Backpack Filled With $42,000, Gets Gold Star
And hopefully some good karma.
The down-on-his-luck man who turned in a backpack containing $2,400 in cash, nearly $40,000 in traveler's checks, and a Chinese passport to its rightful owner at a Massachusetts mall over the weekend will receive a "special citation" from Boston police. This would be a great time for good karma to prove it exists.
