China Eastern Adds Thales Avionics Suite to A320s
China Eastern Airlines' new Airbus single aisle fleet will feature surveillance systems, flight management systems and head up displays' from Thales, the French aerospace manufacturer said Thursday, Jan. 9.
The Chinese carrier will add Thales' latest avionics solutions to a fleet of 60 Airbus A320s that it purchased for $5.4 billion in 2012. Delivery of those aircraft is scheduled to begin this year.
According to Daniel Malka, vice president and general manager of avionics services worldwide at Thales, said the purchase should prepare the airline for future Air Traffic Management (ATM) requirements in China. Airbus signed a partnership in September to modernize the nation's air traffic system, focusing on air traffic flow management and the implementation of Required Navigation Performance Authorization Required (RNP AR) approaches at Chengdu Airport and Instrument Landing Systems at Beijing Capital Airport.
"China Eastern, already one of our main customers for FMS systems, has now become our largest customer for T3CAS Surveillance Systems and Head -Up Displays in China, which we feel will lay the foundations for future ATM requirements in this region," said Malka.
Among the Thales solutions selected by China Eastern is the company's ACSS T3CAS surveillance platform, which is compliant with future ATM requirements in Europe. The system features a performance based Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) and an ADS-B capable transponder in a 6 MCU package, along with a full range of ADS-B In functions; which would prepare China Eastern for ADS-B future airspace mandates in the region, should regulations follow U.S. FAA directives.
The Chinese carrier will also likely use the new Thales-equipped aircraft on several new routes that were introduced using A320s in December, including flights between Ningbo (NGB) and Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK), and Wuxi (WUX) to Singapore (SIN).
China is expected to lead the global increase in passenger demand on domestic routes through 2016 with an additional 193 million passengers projected to travel domestically on Chinese carriers over the next three years.

With the wonderfully twisty horror genre send-up "The Cabin in the Woods" hitting theaters this weekend, I'm counting down my personal favorites for horror-based movies that bring lots of laughs.
10. "Cabin Fever"
Eli Roth would go on to make those squirmy "Hostel" movies, but his debut remains my favorite — and the one with the most humor. Partying college kids are driven mad by a flesh-eating disease, but the film has the wicked weirdness of a David Lynch landscape.
9. "Arachnophobia"
The Spielberg-produced flick had John Goodman and Jeff Daniels, so there were laughs, but people really got creeped out by the spiders. Unsure of which direction to go, the studio marketed the movie as a "thrill-omedy" — proving studios suck at making hybrid words.
8. "Tucker & Dale vs. Evil"
This newcomer is already getting a rabid following thanks to a quick appearance streaming on Netflix. As an inspired comedy of errors, it turns the horror cliché of the murderous redneck on its ear.
7. "Tremors"
One of my favorite degrees of Kevin Bacon, it's set in a desert town besieged by mutant sand worms. It's legitimately creepy, at times reminiscent of "Jaws," but there's a wicked sense of humor throughout.
6. "Gremlins"
Dude, he told you not to feed them after midnight! There are some really scary moments as the town is overrun with those mean little bastards, but there's also a ton of great gags and a cartoonish feel.
5. "Zombieland"
Screw "The Walking Dead." I want to see the fun side of the zombie apocalypse. Comically violent zombie deaths — and one of the best surprise comedic cameos ever — made this one a roller-coaster ride.
4. "The Cabin in the Woods"
Yes, I already think it belongs this high on the list — it definitely possesses that "Buffy" sense of humor. The less you know the better, but see it and tell me I'm wrong.
3. "Dead Alive"
Peter Jackson is now an Academy Award winner for his "Lord of the Rings" adaptation. Before that, he made one of the goriest, most one-liner-ific horror-comedies ever.
2. "Shaun of the Dead"
"Hey, you got a British buddy comedy in my zombie movie! Wait! This is perfect!" Definitely plays for laughs first, but being trapped by zombies? Always a little unnerving.
1. "Evil Dead II"
I couldn't imagine anything else at the top of my list. Sam Raimi's "cabin in the woods" homage was basically a remake of his scarier first "Evil Dead." This one played up the camp, made Bruce Campbell a cult hero and even spawned a musical!

Curly Medium Length Cut for Men
Too careful not to make a mistake with this hair by Malisa Masci, random curls so small you can mistake them for wicked little horns meticulously form the side section. Going up, the wavy top is secured and amplified by lacquer. The hair polish or hair gloss sets the whole thing on fire. Looking closely, the edges look messy but as whole, there is clarity and definition.

Clip | TV-MA
Drawn to the hardcore life of a delinquent, Hiroshi drops out of his upscale private school and enrolls in a gritty public school. On his first day he gets his ass kicked by Tatsuya, the son of an ex-yakuza and the leader of a pack of unruly thugs. Hiroshi sucks at fighting, but he hits it off with the crew and enjoys the reckless partying, smoking, and boozing. Can he still hang when a rivalry with a nasty biker gang turns into countless face-breaking brawls? When the allure of a wasted youth is pitted against the reality of growing up, some people would rather take a beating than stop the fun.

The tender and sub-contracting system in Kerala is not a transparent efficient method of delegating work. The age-old approach needs to be reviewed and thoroughly recast. In present times, the nexus between the politician, the contractor, the sub-contractor and the engineer or the sanctioning authority is dominating the development works. Therefore, this has become a 'chicken and egg' syndrome.
This vicious circle must be first broken by the state government by calling every tender on alternative basis as a rule, insisting and giving preference to scientific objective quality controls by the use of materials having Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) or Indian Standards Institute (ISI) norms and marks, which will be in the best public interests. Recently the government of Kerala has taken the epoch-making progressive step of reserving some works by the name of a proven classified industry. Different High Courts and even the Supreme Court has declared this Government Order as the best in the public interests many times.
Still the vested interests holding positions of authority both in and out of government, are trying their best to sabotage the industry even by abusing their position and power reposed by the public on the new approach of the government. In Kerala Property development will get accelerated only if there is a foolproof, transparent system in place with respect to the funds allotted and the way the decisions involving urban development are being taken.
Many a times, the Housing Minister in charge of housing developments may not be a qualified person to deal with such a tricky department. In such a scenario, the concerned officials in charge of the department will be calling the shots. In many instances since most of the higher appointments are made on political considerations, the quality of work is not up to the mark.

A dinner of grilled shrimp and steak and vegetarian and vegan choices will be followed by Chris' famous Chocolate Ganache & Key Lime Tart (you don't have to choose—you get it all!).
Metro Bis is ranked in the top five restaurants in the state by Zagat. A finalist in the national Chef of the Year Awards, Chris Prosperi is a columnist for the Hartford Courant, Tribune wire service, and co-host with Faith Middleton on NPR's The Food Schmooze.

Comments about Educational Insights Phonics Beanbags:
I received this product as a prize from a giveaway a while back, and have had great success using it with my preschooler. However, I am now having even more fun using the bean bags with my 14 month old baby boy. The bean bags are colorful and durable and are perfect for my little one to grasp, throw, and explore. While he is playing with them we talk about the pictures on each of the bags to help develop his vocabulary, phonemic awareness, and communication skills. He loves this activity and they are now permanently housed in one of his toy bins for future play and discovery.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Sounds like you "tossed" in some fun with your early learning lessons! Thanks for the great review!

Great but could be better...

These are wonderful! It would be better if corresponding alphabet letters were embroidered on the other side of the bean bag. Otherwise these are alot of fun!
Merchant response: Great recommendation - we'll take it to heart!

In light of the ongoing discussion over fast-food wages, I recently wrote that prices are not play things, urging that we reach beyond the type of minimum mindedness that orients our imaginations around artificial tweaking at the bottom instead of authentic value creation toward the top. Prices don't equip us the whole story, but they do tell us something valuable about the needs of others and how we might maximize our service to society.
But though I have a hearty appreciation for the role that low-wage employers like McDonald's play — due in large part to my 5-year stint working for The Ronald — I'm also grateful that other companies like Costco are able to provide higher wages to many low-skilled workers.
When we observe such differences — one prosperous company paying $7 per hour while another pays $12 — it can be easy to get worked up, pointing our fingers at greedy executives, idols of efficiency, unwise allocation of company funds, etc. Yet while any assortment of these drivers may indeed contribute to how wages are set, and though executives bear heavy moral responsibility on such matters, it's helpful to remember that (1) we're greatly limited in understanding the books of the companies we critique, and (2) executives aren't the only ones influencing prices.
Over at Bloomberg, Megan McCardle does a marvelous deep-dive on this very sort of thing, starting with a comparison of Costco and Walmart wherein she ponders why the former offers higher wages than the latter.

Las Vegas Sands: Unlocking Value Could Be a REIT Idea
Triggered by large casino profits, as well as interests in mall and hotel income, Las Vegas Sands plans to reward shareholders by paying out a $2.75 a share special dividend, in addition to the annual dividend of $1.40 a share. That combined dividend payout amounts to an annual dividend yield in excess of 6%.
Las Vegas Sands is a newcomer to paying dividends as the company squeezed out a token last year and the yield hovers around 2% today -- excluding the special dividend.
Maybe there is more to this? Perhaps there could be a compelling opportunity for investors to benefit for Las Vegas Sands and its repeatable income model?
Las Vegas Sand: A Wide-Moat Gamer
Las Vegas Sands, a Fortune 500 company, is the preeminent operator and developer of integrated casino resorts. LVS resorts are exceptionally high-quality mixed-use properties that feature a combination of gaming, lodging, entertainment, and retail facilities. LVS focuses its gaming business on the higher margin mass market, owns retail catering to the high-end luxury market and creates a lavish hotel experience for guests.
As with many companies, the history of LVS begins with the vision of its founding chairman and CEO Sheldon G. Adelson (his bank account will soar by another $1.2 billion with the payout of the special dividend.)
The secret of LVS and Adelson's success was his focused hotel efforts and specifically on courting the convention and tradeshow industry. At the time, when other hotels were focusing on gambling, his approach was unorthodox, even mocked.
Adelson was also among the first to foresee the financial potential of Asia. Before his American competitors, he located his company nearer to the Asian market. Las Vegas Sands opened the Sands Macao in 2004. Macao, the former Portuguese colony turned over to China in late 1999, is the only place on mainland China where casino gambling is legal.
LVS gets the majority of profits and cash flow from its properties in Asia, especially Macau, the only place where millions of Chinese gamblers legally place bets on games of chance. No new casinos will open in Macao for at least two or three years -- a wide moat gamer!
Unlocking the Value of LVS
Las Vegas Sands is trading at $43.65 per share -- around a 50% discount to net asset value. Should the legendary gaming brand convert to a REIT?

Apple Shuffles Revenue Out of U.S., Pays Only 1.9% in Taxes on Foreign Earnings
Jason Mick
November 5, 2012 11:40 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Apple does not count foreign tax savings in its reported profits
Whether you're voting for Romney or Obama tomorrow, neither candidate comes close to offering a tax rate sweet enough to
sate the appetite
of Apple, Inc. (
), the world's most profitable technology company, and
most valuable firm
in terms of present market capitalization.
In 2011, Apple
made a fortune on foreign earnings
, paying a lowly 2.5 percent on the $25B USD it earned outside the U.S. Financial documents
filed last week
indicate that the company's fiscal year, which concluded in September, saw an even bigger revenue boom outside the U.S.
Apple in calendar Q4 2011-Q3 2012 paid a
mere 1.9 percent
in foreign taxes, while ballooning foreign earnings to $36.8B USD. That's a pretty hefty sum considering Apple's full-year reported earnings were $41.7B USD on revenue of $156.5B USD.
Here's where things get a little confusing. The $41.7B USD is a post-tax figure that assumes Apple's effective U.S. tax rate extends to its foreign earnings. Apple is currently hoarding that cash overseas -- an estimated $82.6B USD, but it breaks from some in not reporting all of it as earnings.
It also has avoided spending the massive profits, gained by using tax shelters like the Cayman Islands, Ireland, and small European tax-haven nation states. It is estimated that Apple's decision not to include the tax-sheltered earnings in its bottom line cost it an extra $10.5B USD of profits (on paper, at least) over the last three years).
Apple paid less than 2 percent in taxes on its overseas earnings.
[Image Source: SomanyMP3s]
Apple's decision to not report the gains as profits is interesting, and perhaps a reflection that Apple believes that the U.S. government will eventually force technology companies to "pay up" amid growing scrutiny of corporate tax sheltering practices.
Apple, which almost exclusively manufacturers its products in China, is not alone in its smart-sourcing of profits to tax shelters and manufacturing to cheap Asian labor sources. Google Inc. (
), Apple's perennial smartphone foe has engaged in similar practices, although not to such a massive extent.
The on-paper general corporate tax rate in the U.S. is 35-percent, however, that figure is misleading as the complex U.S. tax code typically leaves a wealth of loopholes available for big businesses to lower their rates. With loopholes considered, the average for Fortune500 tech companies is around 16 percent [
Apple does indirectly contribute a great deal to the U.S. economy, directly and indirectly
creating 304,000 U.S. jobs
, plus an additional 210,000 U.S. iOS developer jobs.
Daily Mail
"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

Skip to comments.Report: New York City may allow amnestied illegal immigrants to vote
Posted on 05/11/2013 12:57:02 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
New York City may soon allow non-citizens, including illegal immigrants who would be granted amnesty if the Senate's immigration reform bill passes Congress, to vote in elections.
According to Talking Points Memo, the New York City Council is currently considering a proposal that would allow non-citizens to vote in local elections. Even though Mayor Michael Bloomberg reportedly opposes the proposal, TPM reports that the New York City Council appears to have a veto-proof majority so it could make the proposal law without Bloombergs support.
Queens College professor Ron Hayduk, a supporter of the proposal who helped craft it, told TPM that this proposal is likely to influence the national immigration debate, too, as pro-amnesty factions are likely to support it.
It would send a big message to the rest of the country and embolden campaigns which are ongoing in other places like San Francisco, and Portland, Maine, and Washington, D.C., and other places, Hayduk said. It would certainly be viewed favorably by immigrants rights advocates and be seen by other policy makers as another level of discussion about the whole business of the role of immigrants in the United States.
If the Senate immigration bill passes Congress and the New York City Council passes its proposal, illegal immigrants in the city would likely be allowed to vote because the immigration reform bill makes illegal immigrants legal almost immediately upon passage.
Protecting American citizens votes is a major concern of many in this debate. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) made secure the vote one of his top three priorities in any immigration package.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
I expect this will have the opposite effect on pending legislation that Herr Doktor Professor Haydek says.....
The Big Apple will become the Rotten Apple and will be worse than Detroit.
NYC = Frisco East
NO AMNESTY!! TRAITORS MCCAIN, GRAHAM, RUBIO, FLAKE, et al, blow it out your ear!!
There seems to be a growing number of mentally ill officials in government with each passing day.
only if they vote for THE RIGHT PEOPLE
Not sure if there ia anyone or anything to stop them.
Who cares what NYC does? 80% of New Yorkers are complete idiots and a good portion of the rest are immoral scum.
New York may not like the results...let them do it.
I'M SHOCKED! /s Isn't that why the Dems are pushing amnesty and the reason why 0bama is allowing illegal aliens to storm across our borders as we speak?
Let the Catholic Church go full-turbo now on getting Latino Catholics back into the church. Let's see how fast the locals jump to erase this measure. The Catholic Church is the wildcard in this whole thing...if they'd just recruit and bring young Latino priests into the inner city area....they'd change the whole dynamic.
Dems foster voter fraud in elections
Dems want illegals to vote in elections
Dems want felons to vote in elections
Anyone see a pattern here?
Someone could file suit when and if this happens to throw out ALL the lawless NYC ballots.
Thank an Amnesty Liberal Republican for this nonsense
Just use the word Yankee or even better: damn Yankee, it is cleaner and quicker.
Hey ny... I hate your ****ing guts. (Not the handful of good people there).
57% of ALL American Catholics (and any illegals that were able to vote) voted for obama in 2012. The blaze has it archived and you can find it with Bing.
Let the screwballs vote, and let's go our separate ways. Cut NYC loose. Subtraction. It's the right thing to do.
The Dems have reliably "Catholic" states of the northeast, west coast, and upper midwest for decades.
As a Catholic I am ashamed of it; Rome needs to replace those leaders who can't get the point across to their flocks that they are abetting the murder of children with their votes.
Just look at the 2008 and 2012 elections, they have already committed voter fraud they just want to make it law now
NYC is a lost cause anyway! My Lady asked me a few times if I would like to Ride the train up and vist that hell hole!
Not a chance but if you wanna go trout fishin in a Great fishing spot I'm on!
Exit polls had it at 50% Obama and 48% Romney among self-identified Catholic voters.
Jewish voters were 69% Obama and 30% Romney while Protestants were 42% Obama and 57% Romney.
Does Rubio know about this?
(he probably does, although his BILLIONS of amnesty promotional radio commercials say otherwise—just proves he's learned to lie to Americans like the rest of them.)
Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record—Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963
#33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
Funny coming from the creep who violated law to get a third nomination. Voting rights, my foot.
As someone who voted in NYC for about 27 years, I can tell you they don't need to throw out any ballots. When you vote at your local high school, the floor is littered with discarded ballots - lost by the old biddies who have no control or interest in voting rights. When they lost my registration form one year, I had to fill out an absentee form. I can still remember the bored woman tossing it to the side (to join all the other litter).
There is a sickness loose in America!
Why would this surprise anyone?As De Toqueville predicted,this Republic can(and will)be brought down by The People voting themselves "Government Largesse"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was disgusted by a recent visit to a local high school, which had 3 posters on the wall opposite the elevator, no doubt the work of the Hispanic principal. One was a poster with a picture of Che Guevara with some quote of his, one was a poster telling the reader that "Columbus did not discover America--he INVADED America" and the third was some mushy homily about "we all share the earth together, blah, blah, blah."
I was disgusted to read the latest edition of the teachers' newspaper, telling us to vote for the endorsed candidates--every one of them had a "D" by their name. Thanks, UFT. You have provided me a valuable voting guide. All I have to do is vote for whoever's running against your endorsees.
Where you have a certifiable maniac for a mayor who is proud of NYC's status as a sanctuary city, is it any surprise that the City council could come up with allowing illegal criminals who have no respect for our laws to vote for politicians who make those laws? How sick is this?

Not the Big Apple anymore - Manzanas Grandes
I vote in a small NJ town now and the orderly and concerned women and men who volunteer make an astounding change of pace!
One of the things that non-New York City freepers don't understand is how trapped you can get in these Democratic ghettos. My husband and I care for my elderly mother who simply can't leave the Northeast. So, we stay, vote for the most conservative candidates (or sit the elections out) and wait for the day of the Great Escape.
cnn... really? Sorry... no cnn in this household ever.
They don't conduct the exit polls, they report on them, just like every other network..
They are cnn... evil liars all. I remember 2004... I remember their reporting the exit polling... you know... the crap that they (along with all cooperating media outlets) made up to actually effect the election in Florida.
Fox News' exit poll data:
I heard on CSPAN on Friday that the U.S. has 800,000 Latinos turning age 18 every year. Latinos aged 18 to 24 went for Barry Soetoro 74% to 23% for Mitt Romney.
Well, I just linked to the Fox News exit poll data for you.
THAT is why the rats want them to vote.
Exactly right.
My point is that a stronger Republican candidate than Mitt Romney might well have won the Catholic vote for the Republicans for the first time in quite a while.
I agree with you but Catholics need to get their minds right. ALL Christians do. satan rules the dim party and to vote dim is to vote for satan's agenda.
BTW, have a great day with your family.
And the same to you!

Ever wondered where your food comes from? Thematic Maps on the Agriculture Economy
Past few days have been interesting, for we have got our thematic maps team to produce maps which provide a fascinating theme based map on everyday things. It provides a global perspective and an interesting map to share. We started with thematic maps on coffee, tea and milk. The quick polls on our Facebook wall got some of you guessing.
Today, we add yet another fascinating look into food (agriculture). Who's exporting the most and who's importing the most. Agriculture is the main source of food, and the maps on agricultural exports and imports highlight the dependencies between different countries for the life sustaining fuel. They say in war, its a common strategy to cut supplies of the enemy. Food is the essential supply for sustaining life, war or no war, you're not in a position of power if you have less resources than others.
Find below thematic maps on Agricultural Exports and Imports:
What do you think? Looking at the maps above, do you think the top agricultural exporting countries are in a position of power or dominance? Let us know in comments below, tweets or facebook wall updates.

What defines a female jazz vocalist today? Is it someone
whose albums feature at least three American Songbook standards? Must the singer be backed by well-known jazz musicians? What about her sound? Does she have to be bluesy? Or is this checklist outdated? There's probably no concrete answer to these questions. I do know that I'm tired of hearing the same songs over and over again, no matter how good the singer's voice. For me, the singer known simply as Brettina is among those artists who are trying to break the old, tired mold.
Brettina Robinson's debut CD, Brettina, isn't a traditional jazz vocal album. It's better. On the album, Brettina works through mostly originals, each melody and arrangement more captivating than the last. Born in Nassau, the Bahamas, Brettina's warm-weather roots are evident throughout—in the stories she tells and in the lilting surfy beats on many of the tracks. Best of all, Brettina is genuine and completely inside the music.
Catch the The Bug's tidal sweep or the jazz-soul intensity of Chai. Or the shimmy-funk 1980s feel of Kirkwood Coakley's My Time to Shine and the lower-register ballad Pardon the Storm. Brettina takes on Harry Belafonte's Island In the Sun but rather than mime the calypso singer's version, she delivers the song with a rock-a-by feel. And dig One, my favorite. It builds and smolders, topping off with a terrific piano solo by Tracy Carter.
To me, this is a first-rate jazz album of emotional beauty that is personal and endearing. And it grows on you. To Brettina's credit, she's patient with the material, never over-singing or trying to be something she's not. I suspect that what we hear is pretty much who she is.
To be sure, this CD will be a little different than the jazz vocalist albums you're accustomed to hearing. But the same passion and sincerity we expect in traditional jazz vocalists are here. And like any good jazz vocalist, Brettina constantly pulls you toward the lyrics and makes the listen a one-on-one experience. Also fabulous are the album's arrangements, which consistently engage you and perfectly support the artist.JazzWax tracks: You can sample Brettina Robinson's Brettina at iTunes or here. A CD version is available through her website here or at Amazon here. Hats off to Tracy Carter, who produced this album and plays exceptional piano throughout. Carter also had a hand in the writing several songs.

Special Ops takes control of Cannon
October 1, 2007
CNJ staff photo: Liliana Castillo Lt. Gen. Michael W. Wooley, left, and Lt. Gen. Norman Seip stand at attention for the national anthem during a change of command ceremony Monday at Cannon Air Force Base.
CANNON AIR FORCE BASE — More than one hundred airmen stood at attention Monday to witness the change of command at Cannon Air Force Base as Air Force Special Operations Command assumed ownership of the base.
During the short ceremony, Col. Scott West, 27th Fighter Wing commander, relinquished command of the base to Col. Tim Leahy as Cannon was also officially designated the 27th Special Operations Wing.
"This is an historic day. We have a new lease on life," Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., said. "The Special Operations Wing is going to be very much in demand with all the involvements we have in the world."
The Pentagon recommended two years ago Cannon be closed, but instead it got a new special operations wing, the nation's second. That puts Cannon in the vanguard of the war on terrorism and eventually will make the base larger.
"I'm here to reassure you the history does not end today," said the commander of Air Force Special Operations, Lt. Gen. Michael Wooley.
"It will carry on in new chapters."
Wooley also talked about the importance of gaining the Melrose Bombing Range for special operations training.
"We are most excited about the Melrose Bombing Range," Wooley said. "We consider it the crown jewel."
The early-morning event also included Base personnel and invited dignitaries touring the lineup of new aircraft coming to Cannon.
Over the next few years the former F-16 base will get new aircraft, including the MC-130W Combat Spear, the remotely controlled MQ1 Predator, CV-22 tiltrotor Ospreys and AC-130 gunships.
According to AFSOC officials, approximately 12 MC-130Ws will be assigned to Cannon by 2009.
The Air Force has said the final active-duty population at Cannon is expected to be between 4,400 and 5,600 people and about 100 aircraft will be built up over the next six years.
The mission also includes several major construction projects at Cannon, including an MC-130 flight simulator facility, alterations to existing hangars to accommodate C-130s, a modern fuel storage and distribution system and a consolidated airmen's center.
"We are committed to doing what's needed to fully stand up this Special Operations Wing," said Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M. "These airmen deserve the best bases, training capabilities and communities, and I know that they will have that at Cannon."
Following the change of command ceremony, members of the delegation and local elected officials renewed their commitment to provide AFSOC with the resources to fully support the new 27th Special Operations Wing.
"We're looking forward to becoming friends," Clovis Mayor David Lansford said. "But the hard work will continue as we adapt to the growth. We will meet the needs of the people as they come in."

About the Author: Charlotte Hu serves as the Public Affairs Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Georgetown, Guyana.The United States observes January 16 as Religious Freedom Day; it is the anniversary of the first American law protecting religious freedom. In recognition of this day, we present a series of entries on how the Department of State works to advance this universal right around the world.
It is fitting that Georgetown's Rameshwar Ashram temple graces the cover of the 2010 International Religious Freedom Report. Guyana has a diverse range of religious communities who freely practice their faith. The U.S. Embassy encourages religious freedom, and embassy officers frequent a range of faith-based gatherings. Most recently, during Ramadan, the Charge d'Affaires and acting Deputy Chief of Mission as well as officers from the political, consular, and public affairs sections and several agencies attended numerous events. Guyanese enjoy friendships across Hindu, Christian, and Islamic faiths.
The U.S. Embassy in Guyana's support for religious freedom is a natural part of Guyana's religious harmony. Charge d'Affaires Thomas Pierce gave opening remarks at last November's Diwali Festival of Lights celebration for embassy employees. Special Representative to Muslim Communities Farah Anwar Pandith made her first visit to South America's Caribbean coast by visiting Guyana on September 30. Facebook fans voted on the embassy's photo competition, which includes a dazzling array of images such as a cross, a mosque, and the deity of Lord Krishna, illustrating in vivid color the interfaith harmony in Guyana.

I'm in Maine, enjoying the hospitality of The Cliff House in Ogunquit, perched above the sea on a wildly gorgeous stretch of rocky coast. Being able to drink in the surroundings has been one blessing from my opportunity to stay; having access to the same stretch of shoreline that wooed May Sarton when she lived a few miles from here is another. Having her words has brought my experiences greater depth and has intensified this writer's pleasure beyond words.
As I've watched flotillas of waterfowl bobbing in the tiny coves created by the jagged outcropping below my terrace, I imagined Sarton at Wild Knoll. She wrote about living there in a journal she kept during 1974. It was published in 1976 as The House by the Sea. She described her first taste of the landscape in the book: "…once I had stood on the wide flagstone terrace and looked out over that immensely gentle field to a shining, still, blue expanse, the decision [to move there] was taken out of my hands." She describes this part of Maine as a place "creating the atmosphere of a fairy tale, something open yet mysterious that every single person who comes here is led to explore."
The blue expanse Sarton wrote about has a powerful presence that infuses every part of the day with altering moods. While having a glass of wine as the sun slid away to the west, I studied the view from the terrace from an al fresco table holding a bright red umbrella like summer's promise of glee. The scene revealed a swath of water turned the color of liquid mercury, crimped in spots where the wind touched its surface.
The sky, palest blue and powdery pink except at its meeting point with the water, seemed to want to emulate the blue notes from the strip of darkest hues where the ocean met the horizon. A boat cut a wake, marring the serenity and leaving an indelible blue line drawn in the liquid sheen. The mark became ruffled as the rising tide nudged it to shore. Caught in the movement, it splashed above boulders and slabs of striated moss-laden rock until it was picked up by the breeze and dashed heavenward. Puddles of water formed erratically shaped mirrors reflecting the waning daylight, mercurial in contrast to the wet darkness of the seaweed-draped stones.
Sarton wrote, "I have slipped into these wide spaces, this atmosphere of salt and amplitude, this amazing piece of natural Heaven and haven, like a ship slipping into her berth." Like Sarton, I came here seeking a place to write, and I have found it. The staff here has been attentive but respectful of my desire for solitude as I scribbled in notebooks and slashed pieces of writing long needing my attention while "real life" made it impossible for me to give them the concentration they deserved.
I had a wonderful massage yesterday and as Julie gently rocked me from side to side, causing tears to spring to my eyes from the gratitude of having someone create such a lovely experience just for me, I thought about how the theme of this stay is about being touched. Not just by her knowing hands, which helped to relieve the tensions brought on by the world; but by Christian's carefully selected wines; by a staff eager to please; and most gloriously by a powerful landscape.
Thirty-eight years ago to this day, Sarton intended to take an afternoon nap; she found herself caught up in the surrounding natural activity instead: "…unable to fall asleep, I amused myself listening to all the summer sounds—the leaves stirring like the rustling of taffeta; beyond it the gentle steady roar of the sea, tide rising; but what surprised me was how many birds were singing at that hour, two in the afternoon…I lay there for a half hour, listening, and got up refreshed."
I am being given the same opportunity for refreshment as I let the magic of this place wash over me. Thanks to Patrick, Matt, Brenda, Cheryl, Courtney, Christian, Birget and Julie for making my stay so peaceful. You have helped me to achieve what Sarton sought when she wrote, "I mean every encounter here to be more than superficial…"
[This post was written on July 10, 2012, in Ogunquit, Maine. I have been given comped stay and services by this property but the generosity has in no way swayed my opinions expressed here.]

Diagnostic DescriptionRead full entry
DescriptionMost reef fungiids are free-living . The polyps are among the largest of all corals. These solitary forms have a long fossil history extending back to the early origins of the Scleractinia. It is therefore likely that the colonial genera have evolved from the solitary ones, rather than the reverse. This theory is supported by the fact that the structure of the septa of each colonial genus has an equivalent in one of the subgenera of Fungia. As a general rule, corals with one mouth are called solitary and those with many mouths are called colonial, but clearly this distinction is not always well defined, nor is it basic to the structural organisation of several species. Little is known about many very important aspects of the biology of free-living fungiids, especially their population dynamics, food sources and growth rates. One distinct aspect of the daily existence of all but the heaviest fungiids is that they are at least partially mobile. The genera are solitary or colonial, free-living or attached, mostly hermatypic and extant. Colonial genera are derived from solitary genera and each has septo-costal structures corresponding to those of a solitary genus. These septo-costae radiate from the mouth on the upper surface (as septa) and from the centre of the undersurface (as costae). No similar families. (Veron, 1986 <57>).

Dealing With Angry Parents
- Grades: 1–2, 3–5
Have you ever had to deal with an angry parent? They are yelling, screaming, steaming, verbally attacking you, and you freeze, with a blank look on your face. Is this really happening to me? WHY?? Your instincts might tell you to defend yourself by yelling back, or you might be the one to break down and cry, or even flee the scene.Have you ever had to deal with an angry parent? They are yelling, screaming, steaming, verbally attacking you, and you freeze, with a blank look on your face. Is this really happening to me? WHY?? Your instincts might tell you to defend yourself by yelling back, or you might be the one to break down and cry, or even flee the scene. Here are some DOs and DON'Ts to help you handle the situation with grace and dignity. Read on to learn some fabulous tips for dealing with an irate parent.Image courtesy of TopNews. DOsStay calm and professional even if you are feeling defensive and fearful inside. Think to yourself, CALM, COOL, COLLECTED. Generally speaking, if they are yelling at you and you are talking to them in a calm voice, they will calm down. Image courtesy of Hannah Keely.Listen to their rant. Really listen. What is the basis for their concern? Is it grades? Is it that something happened on the playground that you were not informed about? Is it about something you did in class that somehow got misinterpreted when junior told their parent? Is it about something that their ex-husband or ex-wife told them? Find out what they are upset about.Let them vent. Let them tell you everything that they need to tell you about the situation. Ask questions. When did this happen? Who told you? Who else was involved? What happened exactly?Involve an administrator. Give the principal a heads up. That way, when they end up on her doorstep, she has a little background on how to handle it. There have been a few times where I was being verbally attacked and couldn't get through with any questions. I calmly said, "It sounds like you are very upset. Let's go to the principal and see if we can get this resolved." If the principal was busy, we made an appointment. If they weren't busy, we met and talked out the situation immediately.Address their concern and investigate it. Reassure them that you are looking into the matter and then get back to them. Was it an incident that involved two kids? Take time to interview the people involved to find out the truth. Get the principal to grill them if necessary. Ask them for a reasonable suggestion for how to rectify the situation. I had one situation in which the parent was simply angry that something had happened and no one did anything. Many times, once they have been assured that consequences were enforced, they are placated. Be proactive. I can almost sense parents that may have a problem from the very beginning. The way they look at you or criticize your classroom, or specific comments they make. Try to address their concerns before they become a problem. Sometimes, there is nothing you can do. There is just a personality conflict. Image courtesy of Co-Parenting 101.Document any volitile interaction with a parent. Write down anything you can remember about the situation and the outcome. If it turns into a lawsuit or some kind of reprimand or formal complaint, you have information on your side to document what really happened and what it was about.Protect yourself. If you are unable to resolve this conflict and are fearful of physical retaliation or just want a witness, ask your principal to attend any meetings you have with that parent. Do not meet with a parent that could potentially hurt you physically. Always have another person with you if you have to meet with them, preferably the principal.DON'TsDon't panic, run away, cry, or get defensive. My natural reaction is to get defensive. So I put on my "teacher face," even though my heart is beating a mile a minute, and listen to them.Don't take it personally. Most teachers wear their heart on their sleeves and are the most caring people in the world. I know that it's probably difficult not to browbeat yourself over an angry parent, but do your best not to.Don't be afraid to stand up for your actions if you believe that they were the correct ones. A parent was very angry that his child had a "time out" during recess after he punched two kids. I stuck to my guns and said that his child was not being respectful or keeping his hands to himself and needed to be removed from the situation. The principal backed my decision.Image courtesy of Suite101.Don't be afraid to admit you were wrong. We make a million decisions every day. Some of them are bound to be not so great. If you were wrong, admit it. Apologize, look repentant. Rectify the situation. Don't try to reason with someone who doesn't accept reason. Sometimes, there is no reason! There was a parent of a student in my class who for some reason just didn't like me. There wasn't a reason or anything specific. I tried to appease her in every way. I tried to invite her into the class to observe. Nothing worked. Eventually she moved her child out of my class and was happy as a clam. I was just as happy not to have to see her angry face every morning.I hope that these DOs and DON'Ts help you handle your angry parents with grace and dignity. Do you have any tips from a time when you had an angry parent? Share your story in your comments!Happy teaching,Nancy

Tippmann Sl-68ii
Sterling pump markers (you have to call for prices and orders)
Empire Trracer
I'm not that experienced but I would recommend the Trracer over the sl-68ii. I don't know much about the sterlings. You can always look around for snipers or phantoms on BST like on P8ntballer forums
Basic 200 round gravity fed hopper (anyone will do)
Proto primo
APP 50 round hopper
Air tanks:
Any air tank will do but you can get some 13ci ones so i'll link them
Guerrilla Air 13ci tank
I'm also pretty sure there is a pure energy 13ci tank somewhere in the UK
50 round APP pod
10 round tube
To carry the 10 round tubes you could use
also Besales.co.uk has a lot of autococker parts which can be used on snipers.
Comment if you think there is anything I should add

10 Reasons to Take Good Care of a Father
By Drs. Rick and Jan Hanson
It's natural to feel both absorbed in your baby and worn out, so that any extra tug on you from someone else can seem like a hassle, if not an intrusive burden. Having said that, from painful personal experience and much professional contact with literally thousands of parents, we also think it's a terrible mistake to set your husband or partner aside when baby makes three. It is as big a mistake as the one many fathers make, to downplay the impact of motherhood on their partner and to fail to pull their weight with childrearing and housework.
Frankly, if all new mothers made a serious effort to stay emotionally and affectionately connected with the father, and if all new fathers made a serious effort to understand what the mother is going through and be a strong teammate in making a family together, we believe the divorce rate among couples with children would be cut in half.
And even if there's no divorce, the impacts of events during the sensitive years when kids are little are so great that they can lead to permanent coolness, cankerous wounds, and a vulnerability to challenges down the road (e.g., illness, unemployment, or a temptation at the office).
So there are plenty of reasons - some altruistic and some enlightened self-interest - to take good care of a father. (The ones who stay engaged, to be sure, not the pitiful ones who abandon their children.) (For simplicity, we use the terms "marriage" and "relationship," and "husband/wife" and "partner" interchangeably.)

It's time to kick butts
Young people are encouraged to join the thousands of kids across the country who are taking part in Kick Butts Day, a day of activism that empowers youth to stand out, speak up and seize control against Big Tobacco at more than 1,000 events across the United States and around the world.
Locally, as part of the Kick Butts Day celebration, Public Health, Delta & Menominee Counties has been providing presentations to students in area schools, including both Gladstone and Hannahville. The presentations focus on what Kick Butts Day is, the dangers of commercial tobacco abuse and what students can do to participate in the nationwide movement.
There are over 17,000 new youth smokers each year in Michigan, and 298,000 kids alive in Michigan today will eventually die from a tobacco-related disease. In 2010 the tobacco industry spent $253 million to market their products in Michigan, with nearly $8.5 billion spent on marketing expenditures nationwide. In comparison, Michigan spends only $1.8 million on tobacco prevention programming annually.
"The good news is that there are a number of evidence-based programs and policy changes, which are being implemented by local communities and the state tobacco program, that can help us reduce smoking rates," noted Shanna Hammond, tobacco coordinator for PHDM. "24/7 tobacco-free schools, tobacco-free outdoor recreation areas, smoke-free multi-unit housing, and increasing access to tobacco dependence treatment options are all effective in reducing youth and adult tobacco use rates. In addition, at the state policy level, an increase in the price of cigarettes and other tobacco products would reap enormous health and economic benefits. States that raise the price of tobacco always experience reduced tobacco use and always see substantial revenue increases."
Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in Michigan, killing more than 14,500 people each year. 23.3 percent of Michigan adults, and 14 percent of Michigan youth smoke cigarettes. Tobacco use costs the state $3.4 billion in health care costs annually.
For more information about the Kick Butts Day event and tobacco prevention contact Hammond at 789-8112. For help in quitting tobacco use, talk with your healthcare provider or contact the Michigan Tobacco Quitline at 1-800-784-8669. For information on the national initiative, visit the Kick Butts Day website at kickbuttsday.org.

BEIJING (AP) The boisterous home fans got exactly what they wanted - big wins by China. From here, it gets tougher.
The top-ranked Chinese women's table tennis squad defeated Croatia and the Dominican Republic on Wednesday by scores of 3-0 in the best-of-five format made up, potentially, of four singles and a doubles. The Chinese men had a few anxious moments against Greece, dropping two games in their 3-0 win.
Up next for the women is No. 8 Austria on Thursday, China's highest-ranked opponent yet.
"Yes, it's going to be tougher. The games are going to get harder and harder," Zhang said.
The wins over Croatia and the Dominican Republic set up a likely second-round matchup against No. 3 Hong Kong or No. 4 South Korea, although the players - the best in the world - were not taking anything for granted.
"I don't differentiate between strong and weak opponents. I play each game like it's a final," said Zhang Yining, who won gold in singles and doubles in Athens. "If you're not prepared and ready for a challenge you'll find yourself in a bad situation."
The team gave up only one game all day, against Croatia when Wang Nan defeated Andrea Bakula 10-12, 11-5, 11-4, 11-9.
"I played many good matches last year, year and a half, against the Chinese," Bakula said. "I always win one set. Always play one or two more close. But in the end, you know, they are tough in the head and it's quite difficult with them."
When Wang fell behind 4-0 in her first game, the crowd chanted "Wang Nan Jia You!" or "Go Wang Nan!" until she scored.
Table tennis is the national sport of China, which faces immense expectations of winning gold.
Though the Chinese men also are expected to win the team competition, beginning with group matches that include contests against Austria and Australia, they trailed several times behind a determined Greek side.
"Definitely there was some pressure," said world No. 1 Wang Hao. But he said the friendly crowd helped the team's performance. "We're on the home court so everyone wants us to get a good result."
At one point, Wang Hao and Wang Liqin were down 10-1 in the doubles game against Ntaniel Tsiokas and Panagiotis Gionis. The crowd's chants of "Go China!" practically shook the gymnasium. Greece ended up winning that game 11-9.
When the Chinese bounced back to take the third game, the audience waved their arms and Chinese flags.
Wang Liqin was shaky during his appearance, sending several key returns out of bounds or into the net. He brushed off suggestions that he might feel under pressure.
"I think I played pretty normally because I still haven't completely adjusted to this competition," Wang said. "And in the first game I didn't have a good grasp of their spin ... but toward the end it was better."
Though the audience was dominated by Chinese fans, they applauded for exciting rallies on any of the eight tables where games were being played simultaneously. At one point, the crowd shouted "Waah!" repeatedly as Japan's Jun Mizutani and Nigeria's Segun Toriola traded shots while standing 10 feet back from the table.
The U.S. women's team, ranked No. 9 in the Olympic tournament, was unable to keep up with No. 2 Singapore. Gao Jun, who won a silver medal for China at the Barcelona Games before immigrating to the United States, had several long rallies with Wang Yue Gu but lost her match 3-1.
The Americans later beat the Netherlands in a contest so intense that Dutch player Elena Timina tumbled to the ground several times during the doubles match. With the Chinese team long gone and the gymnasium half empty, flag-waving American fans started a few robust chants of "U.S.A! U.S.A!"
The Chinese fans cheered tirelessly throughout the sessions, switching to "Go Hong Kong!" and "Go Taipei!" after the home team had finished. But they got a bit impatient as the Hong Kong-Russia matchup stretched past the two hour mark. "Go Hong Kong!" one man yelled just after 12:30 p.m. "It's time for lunch!"
