1 OIL COMPANIES INTERNATIONAL MARINE FORUM Marine Injury Reporting Guidelines February 1997 The OCIMF mission is to be recognised internationally as the foremost authority on the safe and environmentally responsible operation of oil tankers and terminals. The Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) is a voluntary association of oil companies having an interest in the shipment and terminalling of crude oil and oil products. OCIMF is organised to represent its membership before, and consult with, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and other government bodies on matters relating to the shipment and terminalling of crude oil and oil products, including marine pollution and safety.

3 Marine Injury Reporting Guidelines 1.0 Objective The primary purpose of these guidelines is to promote, among tanker operators, an increased understanding and awareness of personnel safety through the efficient and accurate reporting and recording of accidents. The guidelines are intended to: provide a consistent method among tanker operators for collecting, classification and reporting, and communicating data on all injuries occurring onboard, the monitoring of which will provide a measure of effectiveness of safety management systems; facilitate the comparison of safety performance with others; and coordinate practices and policies with the objective of reducing the frequency of injuries to seafarers. Note: These guidelines do not address the subject of occupational illnesses and deaths from natural causes. 2.0 Scope These guidelines are intended to address the collection of data for injuries occurring to seafarers serving onboard tankers. Note: The term seafarer includes all personnel, including those employed through manning agencies, serving in any capacity as part of the ship's complement. Although it does not include contractors *, it may be appropriate to keep statistics in respect of injuries to such personnel. * I.E. specialised maintenance teams or additional paint squads
4 3.0 Definitions Company Incident This is the vessel's operating and/or owning Company. This is an uncontrolled or unplanned event, or sequence of events, that results in a fatality or injury to a seafarer onboard ship or whilst ashore on company business. Note: This excludes; suicide or attempted suicide; criminal or terrorist activity; a deliberate act on the part of another individual; and, incidents which occur off the ship but where the consequences appear onboard at some later time. Work Injury Fatality This is any sign or symptom of physical damage or impairment to any part of the body directly resulting from an incident, regardless of the length of time between the incident and the appearance of the injury. A death directly resulting from a work injury regardless of the length of time between the injury and death. Note: fatalities are included in the Lost Time Injury count. Lost Workday Case (LWC) This is an injury which results in an individual being unable to carry out any of his duties or to return to work on a scheduled work shift on the day following the injury unless caused by delays in getting medical treatment ashore. Note: An injury is classified as an LWC if the individual is discharged from the ship for medical treatment. Restricted Work Case (RWC) This is an injury which results in an individual being unable to perform all normally assigned work functions during a scheduled work shift or being assigned to another job on a temporary or permanent basis on the day following the injury. Note: The following come into the category of "less than normal assigned work functions" performing all duties or normal assigned work functions but at less than full time schedule; performing limited duties at normally assigned job at fulltime schedule; and, transfer to other duties.
5 Medical Treatment Case (MTC) This is any work-related loss of consciousness (unless due to ill health), injury or illness requiring more than first aid treatment by a physician, dentist, surgeon or registered medical personnel, e.g. nurse or paramedic under the standing orders of a physician, or under the specific order of a physician or if at sea with no physician onboard could be considered as being in the province of a physician. MTCs include: injuries which result in loss of consciousness, even if the individual resumes work after regaining consciousness (N.B. this does not cover loss of consciousness due to ill health); sutures for non-cosmetic purposes; use of casts, splints or other means of immobilisation; any general surgical treatment; removal of embedded objects from eye by surgical means; use of other than non-prescriptive drugs or medications; use of a series of compresses for treatments of bruises, sprains or strains; MTCs exclude the following: first aid, LWCs and RWCs; hospitalisation for observation without treatment; a one-off tetanus injection; consultative visit to, or examination by, a physician or registered professional for the purpose of a confirmatory check. Lost Time Injuries (LTIs) Lost Time Injuries are the sum of Fatalities, Permanent Total Disabilities **, Permanent Partial Disabilities and Lost Workday Cases. (LTIs = Fatalities + PTD + PPD + LWC) ** For disabilities see page 4
6 First Aid Case (FAC) This is any one-time treatment and subsequent observation or minor injuries such as bruises, scratches, cuts, burns, splinters, etc. The first aid may or may not be administered by a physician or registered professional. FACs include: follow-up visits to a physician or nurse for observation ONLY, or for routine dressing change; negative X-ray results; cleaning abrasions/wounds with antiseptic and applying dressing; irrigation of eye and removal of non-embedded foreign objects using a cotton swab; one time administration of oxygen after exposure to toxic atmosphere and resumption of normal (but not restricted) work the following day; soaking, application of hot-cold compress and use of elastic bandage on sprains and strains immediately after injury; applying one-off cold compress or limited soaking of a bruise; use of non-prescriptive medicines; use of elastic bandages, treatment of First Degree burns. Total Recordable Cases (TRC) The sum of all work-related fatalities, lost time injuries, restricted work injuries and medical treatment Injuries. TRCs = LTIs + RWCs + MTCs. Near Miss Exposure Hours An event or sequence of events which did not result in an injury but which, under slightly different conditions, could have done so. 24 hours per day while serving on board. Permanent Total Disability (PTD) Permanent Total Disability is any work injury which incapacitates an employee permanently and results in termination of employment on medical grounds(e.g. loss of limb(s) permanent brain damage, loss of sight) and precludes the individual from working either at sea or ashore.
7 Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) Permanent Partial Disability is any work injury which results in the complete loss, or permanent loss of use, of any member or part of the body, or any impairment of functions of parts of the body, regardless of any pre-existing disability of the injured member or impaired body function, that partially restricts or limits an employees basis to work on a permanent basis at sea. Such an individual could be employed ashore but not at sea in line with industry guidelines.
8 4.0 Safety Performance Measurement There are a number of ways of measuring safety performance which include: Lost Time Injury Frequency (LTIF) This is the number of Lost Time Injuries per unit exposure hours. The most common unit in respect of LTIF is one million man hours. LTIF = LTIs x 1,000,000 Exposure Hours As an example, if a shipping company had three lost time injuries during a year in which their fleet personnel had 5,000,000 exposure hours then their LTIF would be calculated as follows: LTIF = 3 x 1,000,000 = ,000,000 Total Recordable Case Frequency (TRCF) This is the number of TRCs (i.e., LTIs + RWCs + MTCs) per unit exposure hours. The most common unit in respect of TRCF is 1 million man hours. TRCF = (LTIs + RWCs + MTCs) x 1,000,000 Exposure Hours As an example, if a shipping company had three LWCs, one PTD, one PPD, four RWCs and five MTCs during a year in which their fleet personnel had 5,000,000 exposure hours then their TRCF would be calculated as follows: TRCF = ( ) x 1,000,000 = ,000,000 Note: These frequencies can, by simple arithmetic, be expressed as a rate per any desired unit of exposure hours (200,000 is commonly used in the United States)

Judging by the groan I get in response from other writers when I say I'm working on a synopsis, I gather that it's not most writers favorite task. I wasn't too thrilled either when I got my contract and it said they wanted to see a synopsis first for each book.
But now that I'm working on my seventh crochet mystery I have come to like doing the synopsis. It is where the story starts to come together. At times, it seems like magic as information from all different places starts popping up in my mind.
My chosen method of working is first thing in the morning when I'm still a little half here and not quite there. I like to use index cards. I learned to write scenes on index cards when I was writing scripts, but it works nicely for books, too. The good thing about index cards that as I think of something that needs to happen earlier, I can write it on a card and stick it where it belongs. I number the cards, but end up with adding abc, etc to the numbers as I stick more cards in.
Writing a synopsis is about telling rather than showing. I find that in writing mysteries, there are two stories. The first is what happened. Who killed so and so. How they did it. Why they did it. And what clues lead to the killer being uncovered. Then there is the story the reader gets, which is the first story all mixed up and revealed slowly. For me the synopsis turns out to be the plot the reader gets with some explanations of what really happened mixed in.
When I get done with the index cards, I either start writing the actual synopsis on a yellow legal pad or move right to the computer. The funny part is that I barely look at the cards unless I get stuck.
I'm still on index cards right now, but the pieces are falling into place. Tidbits of information I never knew would be useful seem to fall from the sky and land on the cards. The characters are all starting to talk in my head, or in some cases, argue. I don't want to give anything away, but in this book two plot lines have to dovetail and all these neat ways to do it have been showing up in my imagination.
When I'm finished and my editor has given me the okay, the synopsis will be like a book map. Even though things will change in the actual writing, I will know where I'm headed and the ride will be so much more fun.
For the writers out there, how do you feel about writing a synopsis?

I actually enjoy writing a synopsis, Betty. I start with something I call a plot skeleton that I've developed over years of writing, where I do a stream of consciousness plot first, then analyze my characters, stick it all into a sort-of screenplay plotting format, then turn it into a synopsis. Somehow, it works!

DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, BUT PLEASE POST YOUR BUG RELATED COMMENTS THROUGH THE WEB INTERFACE AVAILABLE AT <http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17934>. ANY REPLY MADE TO THIS MESSAGE WILL NOT BE COLLECTED AND INSERTED IN THE BUG DATABASE. http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17934 Dates too late in jar entries Summary: Dates too late in jar entries Product: Ant Version: 1.5.2 Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: email@example.com ReportedBy: firstname.lastname@example.com In 1.5.2, the times on the JarEntries for jar files built with the Jar task are rounded up instead of down. When used with, e.g., Weblogic's jspc, this results in the jsps in the jar file being later than the date compiled into the jsp java code, and thus the compiled jsps are ignored. The end result is that when I build with ant 1.5.2, precompiled jsps are ignored by Weblogic. I can see in the code on line 960 of ant/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/Zip.java, tag ANT_152_FINAL, that 1999 milliseconds are being added to the modification date. ANT_151_FINAL doesn't do this. It appears to me that this is causing the problem. Strangely, we put a sleep in before the jspc task in our ant script and it still doesn't fix the out of date issue that we're having. The only workaround we have is to use 1.5.1 for now.

September 06, 2011
Some quarterbacks have already proven everything they'll ever need to prove. Some still have time before a definitive judgment will be made. For the following five fellows, 2011 is the year. This season is almost a referendum on the various stages of their careers. If they don't deliver now, we'll be looking at them differently for years.
5. Donovan McNabb(notes), Minnesota Vikings.
McNabb's place in football history might be secure, but his place as a good quarterback in today's NFL? That area is a little grayer. McNabb will swear to you that the last season in Washington was a fluke, and that he's way, way, way better than he showed under Mike Shanahan. Unfortunately for him, he's got to prove that in Minnesota where Sidney Rice(notes) is gone, and the pass protection hasn't been very good.
4. Matthew Stafford(notes), Detroit Lions.
When Matthew Stafford played last year, he was really good. The only problem is that the sample size is tiny, because he spent most of the year injured, just as he was the last few weeks of his rookie year in 2009. The Lions are ready to win right now. Another year of "We might have been really good if Matthew Stafford had stayed healthy" will not be acceptable.
3. Eli Manning(notes), New York Giants.
The Giants were one of the better teams in football last year, and they should be again this year, too -- provided that Eli Manning can stop throwing interceptions like he's Brett Favre(notes). He threw 25 last year -- three more than anyone else in the league. If he can cut that number in half, while still holding on to his 4,000 yards and 31 touchdowns, the Giants are Super Bowl contenders.
2. Joe Flacco(notes), Baltimore Ravens.
The only AFC teams that have been to the Super Bowl since 2004 are the Patriots, Steelers and Colts. Their quarterbacks are Tom Brady(notes), Ben Roethlisberger(notes) and Peyton Manning(notes). If Joe Flacco wants to put his team into the former group, he will have to put himself into the latter group. The AFC is too deep to win the conference with a quarterback who is just good. It's time for Joe Flacco to be a little more than that.
1. Tony Romo(notes), Dallas Cowboys.
As they always are, expectations are high in Dallas, but the Cowboys aren't going to get where they want to be if Tony Romo isn't healthy and playing as well as he can. Jon Kitna's(notes) an excellent backup, but I think we've all seen enough of Jon Kitna. It's time for Tony Romo to step back in and be one of the NFC's best.

Quick GuideChoosing Your Birth Control Method
The diaphragm is a soft, flexible, dome-shaped latex cup which is inserted into the vagina prior to intercourse. The rim of the cup contains a coil spring of metal which serves to hold it in place. The diaphragm blocks access to the cervix so that sperm cannot pass from the vagina into the uterus. The diaphragm must be covered on both sides and especially around its rim with spermicidal jelly, cream, or foam in order to form a tight seal with the vaginal walls.
A woman should insert the diaphragm into her vagina no more than 4 hours prior to intercourse. Following coitus, she should check the diaphragm should be checked to ensure that it was not mechanically dislodged. The diaphragm must be left in place for at least 6-8 hours following intercourse, at which time it should be removed. Additional spermicidal jelly or foam must be inserted into the vagina each act of intercourse.
Since diaphragms are only available with a prescription, a woman must see a health care practitioner to have a diaphragm properly fitted (they come in a range of sizes), and to learn proper insertion techniques. There are no known long-term health risks associated with using the diaphragm and spermicide method of birth control. Some women may find spermicides to be irritating, but changing brands of spermicides may help. There is also an increased risk of urinary tract infections with diaphragm use. One possible reason is that the diaphragm puts increased pressure on the urethra or the spermicide may contribute to irritation leading to infection. (The cervical cap is not associated with increases in urinary tract infections.)
The diaphragm may be appealing to women because it offers a safe temporary (not permanent) birth control that is under her control.
When the diaphragm and spermicide are used correctly, they are thought to have over an 82% success rate (18 pregnancies/100 women per year). To ensure protection, it is important to check the diaphragm after every use for rips or holes after each usage. This is best accomplished by filling the diaphragm with water and then holding it up to the light to observe for leakage. Also, the fit of the diaphragm should be checked annually, following pregnancy, and after significant weight loss.
Using a diaphragm does not confer protection against sexually transmitted infections, although the spermicide does give partial protection against gonorrhea and Chlamydia. It can, however, be used with condoms in order to confer some protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

The White House has defined Libya's decision in December to give up weapons of mass destruction as one of its biggest foreign-policy achievements and a byproduct of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Speaking at a fundraising event in Coral Gables, Fla., on Friday, after lifting most trade restrictions on Libya, President Bush said, "Because we acted, Libya got the message, and it now voluntarily decided to disarm."
But the story of Gadhafi's long road to rehabilitation is more complex. Interviews with a half-dozen current and former U.S. officials, Libya experts and a Libyan-American close to Gadhafi's family show that Libya began discussing giving up weapons of mass destruction in 1992, when its arsenal was rudimentary. And it may have bought nuclear technology just to have something to give up in final negotiations.
"Gadhafi felt that the Americans wanted some more to get them interested, so he put some more on the table," says Mohammed Bukhres, a Libyan-American with close ties to Gadhafi's sons. "We tried for a long time to get relations with the United States. Don't let anyone tell you it's because of the invasion of Iraq."
No one knows for sure what motivates Gadhafi, a mercurial figure. Iraq may well have been a factor. The Bush administration has repeatedly suggested that Gadhafi was sobered and intimidated by the Iraq invasion. And the interception of a shipload of Libya-bound nuclear components in October 2003 gave Bush even harder evidence of the intent to develop weapons of mass destruction than the United States had when it invaded Iraq.
Even so, Gadhafi has shown remarkable consistency over the past decade in his efforts to reconcile with the United States. He began seeking to restore ties shortly after two Libyan intelligence operatives were indicted in 1991 for the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. The bombing of the jet over Scotland in 1988 killed 270 people, including 189 Americans.
In early 1992, Bukhres sought advice from William Rogers, undersecretary of State for economic affairs in the Ford administration. He arranged for Rogers, then a private attorney, to travel to Libya and meet with Gadhafi on Jan. 30, 1992.
Rogers provided a copy of his notes from the meeting, held late at night in a tent on the grounds of a military barracks in Tripoli. The notes say Rogers told Gadhafi that Libya should turn over the Pan Am suspects to a neutral foreign inquiry, "demonstrate its abstention from terrorism" by offering to share intelligence information, end interference in African nations and "offer full inspection of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons facilities."
Gadhafi did not say anything at the time, Rogers says, but "took the suggestions on board." Rogers later drafted a statement of suggested Libyan foreign policy principles. Item four of the statement, dated Aug. 25, 1992, which Rogers made available, says: "We agree to make available for international inspection all storage, manufacturing and testing sites in the country as earnest of our good faith." Rogers felt the document could be the basis for productive back-channel talks with the Libyans, and he showed it to friends in the first Bush administration. But the administration was reluctant to get involved with Libya after George Bush lost to Bill Clinton in November 1992, Rogers says.
A secret communications channel was finally established under the Clinton administration. Two assistant secretaries of State — Martin Indyk and Edward Walker — held five meetings from May 1999 through early 2000 with Libyans, including the head of Libyan external intelligence, Indyk and Walker revealed this month.
The talks, held at homes outside London and Geneva belonging to the Saudi ambassador to the United States, Bandar bin Sultan, dealt with more than Libya's acceptance of responsibility for Pan Am 103.
"We went with a long laundry list of things we expected the Libyans to do to 'graduate' from U.S. sanctions," Indyk told the Middle East Institute, a Washington think tank, on April 7. "They were prepared to accept pretty much all the requirements we had."
In their second meeting, he says, Libya agreed to sign an international agreement renouncing chemical weapons and to submit to inspections. "At that point, as far we knew, they didn't have a nuclear program," Indyk says. Walker says negotiations were suspended in 2000 for fear they would leak during the presidential campaign.
After George W. Bush took office, Walker briefed the new administration, but it did not immediately resume the talks. Administration officials "were somewhat stunned these negotiations had been held and nervous about it," says Walker, who remained assistant secretary of State during the early months of the new administration. He says they were worried that families of Pan Am 103 victims would find out and be angry that U.S. officials were discussing rehabilitating Gadhafi before the Pan Am case had been resolved.
Only after the Sept. 11 attacks did the administration reopen the channel. On Oct. 3, 2001, Walker's successor, William Burns, held his first meeting in London with the Libyans. Burns held five other meetings through December 2003. The administration signaled early on that Libya's weapons of mass destruction would be the central obstacle to restoring relations after the Pan Am case was resolved, according to a high-level State Department official who took part in the discussions but asked not to be named.
In 1999, Libya had little to show inspectors apart from some chemical weapons and an old Russian nuclear research reactor. In September 2000, Libya bought sample centrifuges for enriching uranium for bombs from the network of Abdul Qadeer Khan, the father of Pakistan's nuclear program, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. Gadhafi subsequently placed an order for 10,000 centrifuges. Parts began arriving in December 2002, but many were still in their packing crates when Libya handed them over to U.S. officials early this year.
Several nuclear experts and Libya specialists suggest that Gadhafi bought the components at least in part to sweeten his subsequent offer to give them up. Otherwise, they say, it is hard to understand why he would place the orders when he was on the verge of satisfying all other requirements for ending U.S. sanctions.
"They were hedging their bets," says David Albright, president of the Institute for Science and International Security in Washington. "If they could use the centrifuges as a bargaining chip, fine; if not, they'll have nuclear weapons eventually."

Ripping DVD movies
If you want to play DVD movies, the first step is to rip the DVD into an AVI file using a DVD ripper program.
The program does not have a DVD converter included. We recommend the use of the free XMPEG (http://www.xmpeg.net), step-by-step tutorial included, or if you wish to make it easier, in one step, try Makayama's Mobile Media Maker.
Converting AVI files to a DVDPlayer-supported format
To convert an existing AVI file into the supported format, we recommend the use of a Lathe for Nokia, included in installation file.
After conversion, upload the file to the phone using Nokia PcSuite (comes with the phone, or download it at www.nokia.com), or copy it to the MMC using a card writer, then start DVDPlayer - it will show the new file in the list. The program needs about 2Mbyte free memory on the phone (not on the MMC).
You may need to download additional codecs for encoding the files: DivX (http://www.divx.com), or XviD codec (http://www.koepi.org)
Supported languages: English, Deutsch, Russian, Spanish, French, Italian, Hungarian.
Supported movie format:

We probed the role of the chromogranin A-derived peptide pancreastatin (PST (show ST8SIA4 Proteins): CHGA(273-301)) by investigating the effect of diet-induced obesity (DIO) on insulin (show INS Proteins) sensitivity of these mice.
Findings indicate that peptides from the N-terminal region of chromogranin A (ChgA) are able to induce cellular and humoral immune responses in NOD mice.
Data suggest pancreastatin, a 49 residue post-translational fragment of chromogranin A, as a routinely tested biomarker in neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and in particular small bowel NET.
Data indicate that measurement of chromogranin A (CgA) alone is sufficient in the management of patients with neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) and that routine additional measurement of chromogranin B (CgB (show CHGB Proteins)) provides little added value.
Data show that chrysin suppressed cell proliferation and reducing expression of achaete-scute complex-like 1 (ASCL1 (show ASCL1 Proteins)) and the neuroendocrine biomarker chromogranin A (CgA).
In a Japanese population, the Ser (show SIGLEC1 Proteins)-364 allele was associated with elevated systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure, consistent with increased arterial stiffness.

determination of the subcellular distribution of chromogranins A and B in chromaffin cells; results suggest that chromogranins are at the center of intracellular Ca(2 (show CA2 Proteins)+) homeostasis in secretory cells
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the chromogranin/secretogranin family of neuroendocrine secretory proteins. It is found in secretory vesicles of neurons and endocrine cells. This gene product is a precursor to three biologically active peptides\; vasostatin, pancreastatin, and parastatin. These peptides act as autocrine or paracrine negative modulators of the neuroendocrine system. Other peptides, including chromostatin, beta-granin, WE-14 and GE-25, are also derived from the full-length protein. However, biological activities for these molecules have not been shown.

The reasons to un-elect President Barack Obama are myriad. His has a litany of failings that is massive and nearly all-encompassing. One of the most important reasons to dispatch this President is his governing via Executive Order and regulatory fiat - well outside the Constitutional process and proscribed bounds of his office.
People say that President Obama isn't interested in the legislative process. If he ever was, he checked out after turning over the highly dubious and unpopular ObamaCare operation to then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
It's not much fun to go to the People's House when the People repeatedly express disdain for your worldview.
Built into ObamaCare is the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB). Fifteen bureaucrats who can - in Congress-free, unilateral fashion - decide who does and does not receive medical care.
The IPAB approach is much more to President Obama's liking. He has all along been - in Congress-free, unilateral fashion - imposing all sorts of new "laws," "rules" and "regulations" via royal edict. And this has created tremendous uncertainty for - and done egregious damage to - the economy.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor just released a detailed report entitled "The Imperial Presidency." Here are - culled from just its "Creating Laws" subsection - some of Emperor Obama's Greatest Hits:
Tech Layoffs Hit 3-Year High in First Half of 2012
January 19, 2009 av. gas price: $1.85 per gallon.
October 22, 2012 av. gas price: $3.69 per gallon.
Coal plants closed under Obama: 111 - more than 1/5 of the nation's nearly 500.
Public land oil-gas production under Obama:
Which brought us those doubled-under-Obama gas prices.
But wait, there's more. For instance, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has been a one-stop bureaucratic wrecking shop.
Obama Touts S.C. Boeing Plant That NLRB Sued
Then there is the Obama Administration doubling car CAFE mileage requirements. The results?
New cars are expected to cost about $2000 more because of this mandate.
Oh - and how's ObamaCare doing for us?
During Obama's term, between 2009 to 2012, premiums have climbed $2,370 for the average family with an employer-provided plan – a rate faster than the during the previous four years under President George W. Bush....
During the 2008 campaign and health care reform debate in 2009, President Obama said repeatedly that his plan would bend the cost curve downward, ultimately saving the average family $2,500 per year.
The Barack Obama Presidency has been conducted almost entirely against the Constitution and the will of We the People. The results?
2012 GDP growth thus far: 1.77%.
Next Tuesday, We the People get to Constitutionally express our will about that.

Sacramento CA (SPX) Aug 13, 2014
Aerojet Rocketdyne, a GenCorp (GY) company, completed its Commercial Crew Integrated Capability (CCiCap) commitment in support of Boeing's CST-100 spacecraft that will help open a new era of spaceflight and carry people to low-Earth orbit from American soil once again.
A CST-100 partner and team member since 2010, Aerojet Rocketdyne's CCiCap work continued the development of the service module and launch abort propulsion system from prior commercial crew contracts with Boeing.
"Over the past year, we've achieved major milestones that are paving the way for CST-100 to take flight," said Terry Lorier, Aerojet Rocketdyne's CST-100 service module propulsion system program manager.
"In total, during the CCiCap contract period of performance, Aerojet Rocketdyne conducted eight Launch Abort Engine (LAE), 49 Orbital Maneuvering and Attitude Control (OMAC) system and 33 Reaction Control System (RCS) hot fire tests, all of which helped mature the system design to position Aerojet Rocketdyne to be ready to move into qualification testing early in the next phase of the program."
The LAE is a pusher launch abort system that rapidly "pushes" a spacecraft toward safety if a launch abort is needed. If unused for an abort, the propellant and propulsion system are used to complete the spacecraft's nominal mission through separation of the crew module from the service module as it begins re-entry back into the Earth's atmosphere.
"The LAE test series saw the engine successfully operate at twice its mission life, producing 39,700 pounds force thrust," said Lorier. "The four LAEs are derived from proven hardware based on heritage designs."
The CST-100 service module propulsion system provides integrated launch abort capability and all propulsion needs during flight from launch vehicle separation, docking and undocking with an orbiting space complex, and through separation of the crew and service modules when the spacecraft begins re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.
"There are 24 1,500-pound thrust class OMAC engines on the service module that provide low-altitude launch abort attitude control, maneuvering and stage separation functions, high-altitude direct abort capability and large orbital maneuvers," said Lorier. "The OMAC engines are based on Aerojet Rocketdyne small engine development and production hardware."
The 28 100-pound thrust class RCS engines are adapted from a similar engine design currently in production. These engines provide high-altitude abort attitude control, on-orbit low delta-v maneuvering functions and space station re-boost capability.
Boeing is advancing the design of its CST-100 spacecraft to compete as a commercial transport vehicle to the International Space Station and other future low-Earth orbit destinations. Aerojet Rocketdyne performed the CST-100 service module propulsion system work at its Los Angeles, California and Carlstadt, New Jersey facilities.
"Under its fixed-price CCiCap contract with Boeing, Aerojet Rocketdyne is leveraging proven hardware to deliver an affordable and sustainable propulsion system that can be counted on to perform throughout the spacecraft's mission," said Lorier.

I am the mother of three smart, beautiful feminist daughters.
There is nothing that I am prouder of than my three girls. They are 23, 20 and 18 years old and they are filled with passion, energy and beauty. Two are in University: a Junior at Hamilton College and a Freshman at Barnard College. And the oldest graduated from Wesleyan University a year and a half ago. Obviously, I strongly believe in a liberal arts education, though sometimes the results can be quite hard to live with!
I spent my Junior year abroad in London.
I studied at The University of London and lived in Bayswater with three of my best friends. I quickly fell in love with the city. I danced the nights away at The Hippodrome, saw a dozen shows in the West End, ate more than a few dozen Digestive biscuits and once even came within 10 feet of the Queen! My dearest friends live in St. John's Wood and it is still one of my favorite cities to visit.
I worked in the Garment Center in NYC for my first five years out of college.
After graduation I began my first career in design and sales for a ladies coat manufacturer. I traveled to Paris and London for design inspiration and across the United States for sales. I also learned a great deal about patternmaking and manufacturing which came in very handy when writing The Dress.
My family and I have a healthy (some may disagree) obsession with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.
My husband has been a fan all his life and converted the rest of us. We have collectively seen hundreds of shows and were even written up in the New York Times.
My name, Jane or Janie, is mentioned in at least 5 songs and every time I hear one live I am convinced he is singing to me.
Speaking of Rock & Roll, My oldest daughter fronts a rock band called The Coven of Mima Good.
Their music is described as blues, grungy, rock & roll, witchy, feminist performance. If that's your thing check them out at http://mimagood.com
I have just taken up running and I pretty much hate it.
Last year my husband, a relatively new runner, ran the New York Marathon. Ever since he has been pushing me to run with him. I want very badly to be that fit person but I find exercise to be a grueling bore. Still, I am trying and hope to be able to run a 5k and enjoy it soon.
I was a screenwriter before I became a novelist.
In 2001 I wrote my first script, Confessions of a Dogwalker and sold it to Miramax. It was never produced but in true Hollywood fashion, it was re-written about 30 times. The last version was called Across the Pond in recognition of the two main characters' New York/London romance. I much prefer the editing process for a novel to that of a screenplay.
I spend the summers on Fire Island.
For as much of June, July and August as possible I live on a narrow, carless barrier Island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Great South Bay. We travel to and fro by ferryboat and once there pull our belongings to and fro in wooden wagons and get around by bicycle. It is a place like no other and my favorite place to write.
I love poetry.
Since I was a young girl I have loved reading and re-reading poetry and have committed many poems to memory. Maya Angelou, Lewis Carroll, Langston Hughes, Rudyard Kipling, Robert Louis Stevenson, Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson are amongst my favorites.
Every name in Chapter One of The Dress is a name of one of my relatives.
Chapter One is loosely based on the story of a favorite great aunt and uncle of mine and I used my real ancestors and family names for all of its characters. When I was very young we would often visit my mother's aunts and uncles and I am so grateful to have gotten to know that generation as well as I did.
The Dress by Jane L Rosen is publishing in paperback by Arrow on 17th November, priced £7.99

The morat are Seanchan animal handlers. The name literally means "one who handles," therefore, a morat'grolm is a grolm handler. The following are examples are some types of morats.
- morat'raken (one who handles raken)
- morat'to'raken (one who handles to'raken)
- morat'torm (one who handles torm)
- morat'lopar (one who handles lopars)
- morat'grolm (one who handles grolm)
- morat'corlm (one who handles corlm)
A handler can be given the additional prefix der', as in der'morat'to'raken, meaning "master-trainer of". The word der means experienced or master and often denotes rank. To become an animal master and thus earn the prefix requires a certain level of experience. The prefix is also used in der'sul'dam.

Wasn't quite what I expected
By Annie
from Bronx, NY
Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Rastelli Market Fresh Ultimate Grilling Package:
I have only used the turkey and hamburger, i found them awesome. But, though the description didn't include sausage the picture of sausages made me think they would be included. Though corn was shown knowing im buying a meat package I didnt anticipate corn so not having it didn't surprise me. However , those were the tiniest steaks I have ever purchased. I was highly disapointed at their size. I was looking forward to cooking and eating them, but, now I feel the need to order a pack of average or regular size steak so cooking these tiny steaks will not be a waste of time. That grill package i will never purchase again. The burgers independently I will.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Most Excellent Choice for Quick Service, Good Value
By Mary D. of NJ
from Middlesex County NJ
This meat package had various items included. Great for grilling. The ribs portion is equal to one half rack per person, quite sufficient. The flat iron steak was delicious. Good value, great quality. Chicken breasts were perfect.
Always good

We had a barbecue and everyone had something different
Just starting our Grilling season
By Dee Cooks out
from Boston
Hamburgers were delicious but had pieces of gristle which two of my guests has to remove while eating their burgers. Reason for the three stars and reluctance to buy again or recommend
Turkey Burgers
By Stace
from Sutton, MA
There are too many turkey burgers in the package.
Awesome deal
By Rick
from Utica NY
This grilling package was absolutely worth every penny. We had issues with the first batch of meat but both companies made things right. Basically what happened was the meat was not frozen when we received it but they returned my money and the company sent me another batch of meat for the inconvenience. Its more than worth the price.
Nice all around package
By Ernie
from Jamison PA
This bundle has a good mix of meats to satisfy most pallets
Perfect for Stocking the Freezer
By Bridget
from New Jersey
Love that each thing comes individually packaged and sealed so that it has a long freezer life! Every cut is the same amount of oz which makes it great for dieting and portion control. We love this package and pull out 2 of whatever we want to eat that night. Top quality.
