Twilight Racing At 2009 E Scow Nationals
12 September 2009
View 2009 E Scow Nationals Photo Gallery | View Full Results
Another beautiful day in Oshkosh. The National E Scow Fleet sailed out this morning for a 10am start. There was wind and some of the wind was fresh so PRO Blake Middleton was hopeful to get a start in on time. We did notice some of the fleet was slow to move this morning. The party at the Waters last night was rockin' and many stayed out late dancing to a fantastic band! Still, all 46 boats made it out in time for the first start.
After a brief postponement the fleet entered a starting sequence. It was light as the breeze had trouble reaching 5mph. This meant there was one person on the high side, maybe. Just before the start gun there was another postponement as many boats were over the line, many had trouble getting up to the line. It was evident that the fresh breeze that some sailed out in was now fizzling away.
Another attempt by the Race Committee took place as it was very evident that a race needed to be added to this series as the forecast for the remainder of the day was ultra light and the forecast for the final day of the event was not much better. So, with just one race in, the picture was being painted and it was not a pretty one. After another attempt at a start it was clear that there was just not enough wind to get a race in. Blake showed his experience by being patient and waiting - not sticking a bad race into a National Championship Series. Smart!
It was clear that the wind was not coming so our PRO sent the sailors in for shade, water and lunch. In all of his updates Blake was very clear that the fleet needed to be ready to sail at any time and to be ready to sail until dark if needed. Preparations on shore were taking place - a late race was inevitable. Blake was great though - he allowed the fleet to go do what they wanted - simply listen to his updates and be ready to go when the time came.
At 3pm today the time came. Blake asked the powerboats to tow the E fleet out to the race course area in hopes of a race. Wait, there was no wind on the water! What was he thinking?! Blake knew what he was doing. In the weather system we have been presented with we have seen little wind during the day but, we have seen an evening breeze for a week straight. He knew that if the fleet was on the water and ready for the arrival of wind that the fleet could have 2 races.
The breeze moved in and it was a fairly steady 4-8mph. The first race of the day / second race of the series started at 4pm. A clean start and a W2 course but only a .75 mile beat so this put a premium on the start. The fleet was almost evenly split up the first beat. M-9 Tom Burton won the right side of the course and M-42 Sam Rogers won the left side of the course. H-7 Lon Schoor and X-20 Peter Maas were right in the hunt too as the four boats met at the top mark. Lurking just back from this group was Brian Porter and Vincent Porter. The move of the race was an early jibe on the run. I-49 Vincent Porter did this and gained big on this run. New breeze filled down the right side of the race course and Porter was in line for the best stuff. Burton followed with a jibe - still with a healthy lead but in line for the new breeze with Porter.
At the leeward gate many tacked on to starboard to sail the starboard shift. The boats that extended on port really made money on this beat as the wind clocked right slightly with better pressure. Burton kept the lead by Mass and the X-20 team ground them down to be close at the top mark. Lon Schoor and Sam Rogers followed. Because of the clocking breeze it meant that a jibe after the offset was immediate. Burton never missed a beat. He set, jibed and raced down the lake with Maas following. As the leaders continued down the lake Maas decided to throw some jibes in to keep things interesting. Good move however it left the door open for Schoor to sneak in. As Schoor went out to the edge he had better pressure. He jibed and raced into the finish and it was going to be close between Schoor and Maas. Burton had won the race and he and his Inland Championship Team sailed a very good race. It was close for 2/3 but Maas finished off his good race and finished 2. Schoor 3.
The race took a total time of 47 minutes. As the back half of the fleet finished it was clear that the wind was getting fresher. Not quite white caps but really nice breeze. The Oshkosh chop began to build a bit so it was going to be a fun twilight race.
Race 3 of the Championship kicked off at exactly 6pm. Plenty of daylight still. Everyone was hiking now and the few boats that did decided to sail with 4 people in the regatta were smiling. One of the boats was T-17 Chad Hillyer and his Ol' Blue team. They liked the breeze and liked the left side which was clearly favored. Chad is one of the top East Coast E scow teams. The East Coast came west in force for this regatta and they have some excellent sailors. E Scow sailing out there is really buzzing.
Hillyer was leading at the top mark with Bobby Koar right behind him - The Koar family is another fantastic group of E sailors. Jeff Bonanni from Little Egg was right with the leaders too - you see an East Coast theme here. They were kickin' butt. Sam Rogers was in this race again so was Brian Porter, Jeff Solum and Jon Schloesser - a local hero. But where was Tom Burton? He rounded about 15th.
As the fleet jetted downwind with all crew on the high side technique in these boats kicked in and some of the best sailors in the E class closed in on the leaders. Brian Porter had a killer run and put himself in 2/3 at the leeward gate. Hillyer was still winning after a nice run, Rogers was there, Bonanni and Koar were there too and now Burton was in the mix. That's right, after a 15th at the top Burton was in the hunt at the leeward cans. How? Tom and his team of Andy Ferguson and Bruce Martinson are excellent sailors but most importantly they are fundamentally strong. Burton watches the wind, watches his compass and rarely puts his boat in trouble or bad traffic. He is a very smart sailor and smart sailors make big gains in big regattas.
Hillyer fought off the group and rounded the top mark first again. Bonanni and Koar were there but a distance behind and then Rogers kept hanging tough. Not a lot changed on the run or the next beat as Hillyer sailed very smart keeping his competition between him and the finish line. Hillyer took the bullet, Bonanni was second and he sailed an awesome race. Sam Rogers sailed solid to get third in the race. Burton stayed tough and finished fifth.
So, at the end of this day Burton has a nice lead with a 2,1,5 on his scorecard but there is a lot of sailing left - we hope. 9am start tomorrow in hopes of a morning breeze. Another smart move by PRO Blake Middleton. So, after a great party tonight, another fantastic dinner at the Waters and the hand off of the E scow class from Rick Turner to Art Brereton the fleet is ready to crown a new champion tomorrow.
Will it be Burton - will he continue his smart sailing? Or will Rogers or Vincent Porter, Jeff Bonanni and others stage a comeback and steal the championship? We will see. It is the 2009 E scow national championship on Oshkosh - anything can happen!

Cheryl Goldfarb needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 95 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
We are a currently operational Indoor Inflatable party and play facility in Sacramento California. We have Giant Inflatable play structures that both children and adults can play on. We host private parties for all ages as well as have times when anybody can come in to play. The best part is that the whole family can play together and have fun while exercising.
We are primarily a children's facility, but we also need to appeal to parents, teenagers, grandparents, etc.
I need an upgrade to our current logo and a "character" to represent the brand. We are NOT looking for a completely new Logo. Since our current one has been in use for 5 years we want to keep the essence of the original logo, but get an upgrade to make it fresh and more up to date. We also want to include a Kangaroo to be our .new image. Something that will be fun and identifiable. This should be included in the Logo itself. The Character will be called "B.T" for BounceTown and should have the letters someplace on it.
***No Clip art please, only original work***
I will upload the current Logo in the comments section

Circuit City's decision last week to cancel a planned auction of 154 leases due to lack of bidders could be another troublesome milestone for the rapidly deteriorating retail real estate industry. The market for excess space, once seen as a potential bright spot amid troubles in the sector, may already be becoming oversaturated.
The Richmond, Va.-based retailer, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Nov. 10, instead signaled it may break the leases on 155 stores in all, representing 22 percent of the 715 domestic locations the chain operated as of Nov. 30. (One lease was not part of the planned auction). The portfolio of Circuit City stores slated for closure includes both stand-alone and in-line locations ranging in size from 15,280 square feet to 67,680 square feet, in 28 states with a large concentration of properties in Arizona, California and Georgia.
The auction had been slated for Dec. 18, but the company canceled the auction on the night before, after bankruptcy administrators informed it that there was not enough interest in the leases. Circuit City did not return calls for comment.
But the issue is much bigger than Circuit City's leases. Many retailers are suffering sales declines, closing stores and slowing the pace of expansion. That's creating a lot of excess space along with a shortage of potential replacements. While some segments of the retail industry are still growing—most notably discounters and grocers—there isn't enough overall demand to absorb the space that's coming to the market right now; especially in the mid-size big boxes Circuit City inhabits, notes Andy Graiser, co-president of DJM Realty, a Melville, N.Y.-based real estate disposition and restructuring firm that is handling Circuit City's portfolio. As a result, failed auctions of excess retail space could become a common occurrence next year, according to Graiser.
"I think you just have to assume in most cases that if leases become available, it's going to be a very, very, very dormant market," says Graiser. "Which means landlords will have a lot of surplus for a while. It's going to take a while to fill that space."
This year, U.S. retailers have already announced 8,117 store closings, according to J.P. Morgan. In 2009, there could be twice as many store closings, according to Excess Space Retail Services, Inc, a Huntington Beach, Calif.-based real estate disposition and restructuring firm. (See "Store Closings Could Double in 2009."
One of the issues that will affect the success of excess space auctions will be the rents the retailer vacating the space is paying. In Circuit City's case, the chain was paying market rates, which in the current environment seem inflated, says Graiser. By year-end, retail rents nationally will have declined 3.6 percent from the same period in 2007, cites Property & Portfolio Research (PPR), a Boston-based real estate research and portfolio strategy firm. The fall will likely continue into 2009, when rents could drop an additional 5.6 percent, according to PPR. And, the firm predicts vacancies will rise to 17.3 percent. Its projections are culled from data for retail properties of all formats greater than 30,000 square feet in size across 54 markets in the United States.
The upshot of all this is that as retailers vacate space, much of it will revert back to landlords. In the past, many "fought like heck to get back their spaces," says Matthew Bordwin, managing director and national co-head of the real estate services team in the Melville, N.Y. office of KPMG Corporate Finance LLC, a middle-market investment bank. "But in this market, a bad retail location is like a hot potato. Everybody says 'You take it' and nobody wants it." In essence, the market has turned the typical situation on its head. When retailers shut stores in a booming market, they battled with landlords for control over the vacant space. Landlords could potentially re-lease the space at a higher rent. Meanwhile, for the retailer subleasing or selling vacant real estate could generate some ancillary income. Today, however, neither party seems to wants to deal with excess space.
As a result, landlords would be well-advised to hold onto existing tenants for as long as possible, says Al Williams, principal with Excess Space Retail Services. To help struggling tenants survive and prevent a rise in vacancies at their centers, landlords have already become much more open to granting rent concessions and modifying lease terms, note both Williams and Graiser.
Although getting rid of excess space has become increasingly difficult, some transactions are still closing. On Dec. 11, for example, department store operator Kohl's Corp. and discount apparel seller Forever 21 joined forces to purchase 46 leases from department store chain Mervyns through a bankruptcy auction for approximately $6.3 million. Most of the leases averaged 80,000 square feet and had 20-year terms. However, unlike Circuit City's leases, Mervyns' featured rents that, in many cases, were one-fourth or one-fifth of the rates in their respective markets, says Graiser, whose firm advised Mervyns and Kohl's in the transaction.
Mervyns still has more than 100 leases it needs to either sell or break. Additional bankruptcy auctions might help the chain find takers for some of those spaces, Bordwin says. But, he adds, the majority of them could go back to Mervyns' landlords.

OtterBox Defender with iON Intelligence full review
The Otterbox Defender with iON Intelligence is a battery case for the iPhone 4/4S with a number of unique features. It incorporates a built-in battery that doubles the amount of iPhone usage, and it works alongside an app that intelligently manages your remaining battery. Also, like most OtterBox Defender cases it offers remarkable protection.
The OtterBox Defender case itself comprises of three layers: a screen protector, a polycarbonate inner layer and the silicon outer layer. To place the iPhone inside you have to stretch and remove the silicon outer layer, unclip the screen protector and insert the phone into the polycarboate inner layer (then re-assemble the case). At the bottom chin of the case are 10 LED lights and pushing a button displays the remaining battery power. It charges via a Micro USB cable.
Where it gets clever is the app integration that manages the case's power. The iON Intelligence app is a free download from the App Store (a link appeas when you plug in it in for the first time) and it monitors your battery usage over time.
The iON Intelligence app provides a good estimate for when your battery life will run out. It also manages the battery in the case when in the background, intelligently seeding power from the case to the battery (it apparently kicks in around the 60 per cent mark).
See also: Best accessories for iPhone
As with other OtterBox Defender cases, it's designed with protection in mind. The website claims it withstands bumps, drops and shocks and given the styling of the case we're inclined to believe them. The screen protector prevents scratches and the ports are all covered from dust and debris. It's not waterproof, however, as there are open areas for the two cameras and speakers.
The case itself does not have an on/off switch, like a Mophie Juicepack but instead monitors the battery level inside your phone and seeds power as needed to prolong the life. The iOn Intelligence app is actually quite smart and it's a free download so you can take a look at it in advance. When running (evenin the background) it accurately measures the time remaining from either just the internal phone battery, or the phone and a charged case. It tells you what time during the day you can expect the phone to run out of power; and it bases that by monitoring the way you use the phone as well as the battery drain rate.
The EMEA license throws up a warning flag, however. The iON Intelligence app collects your name, contact information, username, password, location information, battery life status over the course of a day, language, network usage, UDID, and IP addresses. The terms and conditions state: OtterBox can use this information to "deliver marketing communications or promotion materials from us, our affiliates, and third parties that may be of interest to you". And "to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand the demographics of our audience." So that's something to think about before clicking the "I Agree To The Terms" button.
That aside there's no denying that the The OtterBox Defender with iON Intelligence is a very, very clever case. We are genuinely impressed with the way it manages power and adds protection to the iPhone. It's also quite an ugly case. We don't mean it's badly designed (it's not – it's great), it's just that the combination of silicon and plastic make the iPhone 4 look like something that would be used by the military.
Which is, perhaps, the point. It's a case that fixes two of key criticisms that you could legitimately direct at Apple's iPhone. The first is that the combination of glass and aluminium is fragile and prone to screen cracking when dropped; the second is that the battery life of the iPhone is insufficiently short.
See: iPhone Accessories
If you work in a nice safe office, you might prefer a case that provides a bit more style, like the Mophie Juice Pack Air. But there are instances where the OtterBox Defender with iON Intelligence will be genuinely more appropriate. People working outdoors will find the OtterBox Defender a more secure device. And the extra charge will keep the iPhone going during the day. We also think the plain and secure styling with longer battery make it ideal for anybody travelling. We imagine backpackers will especially like the combination of plain appearance, sturdy protection and double the battery life.

I don't doubt that there is an element of truth to this.
I can't wait to see a healthy Sid now that Geno has emerged from Sid's shadow. I think we will see Sid playing at a higher level than he has in the past based on Geno looking so good while Sid was out. Sid is the ultimate competitor.
Some teammates are probably intimidated around that type of intensity.
The wingers that Lemieux helped put on the map (Warren Young - Robbie Brown) are well documented.....Will Sid ever make an obscure winger a household name? We always hear how he makes his teammates better - but he hasnt made anyone better ala Warren Young..........
What did he do with Colby and Hilbert his first season?
The NHL was joke when Lemieux entered the league. Nobody played defense. The tempo of the game was incredibly slow. Goalies sucked. There was no puck pressure. Scoring was infinitely easier back then.

Subscribe To Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes Sequel Gets Title, 2014 Release Date Updates
I've already subscribed
Fox's successful prequel Rise of the Planet of the Apes is officially giving way to the Dawn … and it's happening on May 23, 2014.
Box Office Mojo has posted that release date for the newly-titled sequel Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the continuation of the story started in director Rupert Wyatt's Rise, which helped set the stage for the ape revolution that would destroy our planet in subsequent Apes movies. But with Wyatt's sci-fi thriller raking in an impressive $481M at the global box office, 20th Century Fox naturally decided to continue filling in the gaps on the lengthy Apes timeline.
Earlier we reported that Contagion scribe Scott Z. Burns was being brought into the fold to map out the Dawn screenplay and we also know that Andy Serkis is scheduled to return to the motion-capture suit to play Caesar, the intelligent ape experimented on by James Franco's scientist in Rise who begins the revolution because of his evolution. It's unclear if room will be made for Franco's character in the next chapter, or if Wyatt – who'll return to direct – is going to shift the action to a completely different location and explore new territories.
Based on the ending of Rise, with an airplane carrying a virus across our nation, we can probably expect Dawn to be a fairly violent and apocalyptic sequel. Will humans fight back? How bad will it get for us before we give the planet over to the apes? And how many Apes prequels will Fox try to milk before we end up at the moment where Charlton Heston's astronaut returns from his mission? We shall see, but it all continues in the summer of 2014.

My Wattshop blog is in many ways about solving problems with emerging adults in mind — that includes me.
I am not trying to solve anyone else's problems, really. It begins with me. Solving my own problems is the debt I have the honor of paying and it has an upside to it. Solving my own problems and doing it publicly builds trust in myself and influence among others. Eventually it provides leadership in this big ol' world. So let your little light shine!
Don't believe me? Conquer your own problems and watch who notices.
This year I am upping my game as an "emerging adult" with an ambitious attitude to own my own greatness (and thereby failures). The big question I invite each of you to ask yourself daily is what problem do you really need to solve?
I used to say, without thinking, procrastination. I hear it still from dozens of students, esp. here in the U.S.. But it's not what you think, people. In fact, you're not even thinking. You're thoughting. Saying what you think you should say or repeating what others expect you to say. That's not thinking. And, if we were truly honest with ourselves (hold on…truth-telling moment… incoming) we already know how to solve that one! As a Ukrainian student I loved once said in her thick accent to another student who didn't get it, "Aye know why you diddent call hur. Because you diddent want to do tha wurk!!" Brilliant! He didn't like what she had to say but the truth always hurts.
As Baumeister and Tierney write in their fabulously practical book Willpower,
"The best way to reduce stress in your life is to stop screwing up" (2011, 238).
We don't want to do the work. Start with that as fact and then perhaps ask the question. What problem do I really need to solve in that? That's a problem to seriously think about and consider. Maybe you're not doing the right kind of work or there are other kinds of work that would move you, even agitate you, into action. What works for me is not your answer. Find you own!
The question "What is your problem?" might occur very differently if you give yourself time to study, think and plan. You need clarity, space and 20-30 mins a day to start! You cannot own your own greatness by using other people's answers or questions. Find your own!

Jamie Heward was named the game's first star.
Steve Downie had his first point in an Admirals uniform on Heward's power play marker. Zenon Konopka has a three game goal scoring streak and not-so-coincidentally, the Admirals have a three game winning streak. Veteran Andrew Hutchinson also has had two multi-point games over that stretch. Now if the Ads can get Wyatt Smith and Brandon Bochenski off the milk carton, they'll really be cooking.

Numbers are all the rage in sports today. Basketball's no exception. Every well-intentioned team has snapped up a stathead or several and stuck 'em in the front office. But we assume they don't fraternize too much with the public relations types. If they did, we wouldn't get nuggets like this.
But what would life be without nuggets like this? Just another cold, wasted night in February filled with meaningless sporting contests designed to distract our attention from the world's greater problems and the futility built into human existence? So, thanks, Brooklyn Nets PR. You're 1-0 when you tweet the dumbest stats ever.
[@Nets_PR, h/t everyone]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to take the time today to extend my congratulations as well as those of the people of Orangeville and Dufferin county to the Orangeville Northmen, the Canadian Junior A lacrosse champions.
I cannot remember a lacrosse team that has so dominated its competition, winning its second Minto Cup in three years. The Northmen, their coach Terry Sanderson, general manager Bob Clevely climaxed a phenomenal season winning 35 of 36 regular season games and all 16 of its playoff games.
It was a truly astounding 1995 season. I wish to indicate my appreciation to the young men who represented Orangeville, including first year Captain Rusty Kruger who won the most valuable player award for his play during the Minto Cup.
My thanks to the Orangeville Northmen.

The anti-aircraft missiles that were the target of a disputed Israeli airstrike on Syria this week were on a military base outside Damascus and had yet to reach the highway that leads to Lebanon when they were destroyed, two Israeli intelligence officials familiar with the air assault told McClatchy on Thursday.
The officials differed on the details, with one saying that the convoy carrying the missiles was parked at a military base in the Jamraya district outside Damascus, while the other said the convoy was in the process of being moved from the base to the highway. But both agreed that the location of the base, less than five miles from the Lebanese border, made Israeli officials unwilling to wait any longer to attack.
One said that waiting until the missiles had reached the highway, the main link between the Syrian capital and Lebanon's capital, Beirut, would have made it more difficult for Israeli aircraft to target them without risking civilian casualties.
"What is important is that a convoy carrying weapons which would have been very dangerous for Israel was taken out before it could reach its target in Lebanon," said one of the officers, who's based in Israel's north. Both agreed to speak only on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to talk about the airstrike with journalists.
The Israeli officials' accounts, if they're accurate, help explain the Syrian government's assertion that Israeli jets had targeted a scientific research center in Jamraya and not a military convoy when they flew low over the Israel-Syria border Wednesday in the pre-dawn hours. Syria said two workers were killed and five injured when the planes attacked.
The two versions of events also suggest that Israel not only is closely monitoring the location of Syria's strategic weapons but also is willing to move to destroy them even before they're on the verge of being transferred out of the control of Syria's besieged government.
President Barack Obama has warned the regime of President Bashar Assad that it views the use of chemical weapons against anti-Assad rebels as a "red line" for possible military intervention. Israel's threshold for taking action, as demonstrated Wednesday, appears to be much lower – and aimed at a much wider variety of potential threats.
Israeli officials have made it known for months that they fear that Syria's sophisticated weapons systems might be passed willingly to the Islamist militants in Hezbollah, Israel's arch-foe in Lebanon, or fall into the hands of al Qaida-linked militants who are now the vanguard of the anti-Assad rebellion.
Israeli officials told McClatchy that Wednesday's attack was aimed at a convoy of Russian-made SA-17 anti-aircraft missiles that Israel feared were being sent to Lebanon. Russia apparently provided the weapons to Syria after Israeli aircraft destroyed a suspected nuclear reactor in Syria in 2007. One official told McClatchy that the missiles would have been a "game changer" had they fallen under the control of Hezbollah, which fought Israel to a standstill in 2006.
"Israel relies heavily on the strength of our air force, and its strategic deterrence," the official said. "Weapons systems that make our air force vulnerable will not be allowed to fall into the hands of terrorist groups."
On Thursday, other officials made it clear that Israeli concerns aren't limited to anti-aircraft systems, citing specifically Russian-made SS-N-26 Yakhont anti-ship missiles, which Israeli officials said could target Israeli military and civilian shipping.
"The range and accuracy of these missiles is very threatening to Israel's navy, and there is intelligence that Hezbollah has tried to obtain them in the past," said an military officer who also spoke to McClatchy on the condition of anonymity because of a lack of authorization to talk to journalists.
He said Russia had sold Syria 72 of the missiles, which can fly 180 miles at more than twice the speed of sound. From the coast of southern Lebanon, much of Israel's naval fleet, including its port in the city of Haifa, would fall into range.
The Israeli officer stressed that to date, Yakhont missiles remained out of reach for Hezbollah.
"Hezbollah is always attempting to arm themselves, but we have made it clear that we consider certain weapons a red line and that we will act decisively to stop them from reaching Hezbollah's hands," he said.
Israel has declined to publicly acknowledge Wednesday's air raid, and American officials, who reportedly were told in advance of Israel's plans to strike, have refused to comment.
Other usually well-informed sources on Syrian events have been unable to provide details of what took place. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based organization that tracks Syria's civil war, said it could confirm that an airstrike had taken place but that it had been unable to determine the target.
Anti-government activists in Syria said they also had been unable to determine what had been struck. They noted that the area targeted is under government control and heavily fortified, and hadn't been the subject of recent rebel activity.
Andrea Tenenti, a spokesman for the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, the U.N. group that's charged with monitoring Hezbollah's activities in southern Lebanon, told McClatchy that "nothing had changed in the area under UNIFIL's mandate in recent weeks."
"We can certainly confirm that there were a high number of Israeli overflights that UNIFIL recorded yesterday. But that is all we have, and these air violations have continued on an almost daily basis. So we cannot draw any further conclusions on this basis," Tenenti said.
"We have not seen or witnessed smuggling of any weapons into southern Lebanon," he said.
Meanwhile, Israelis discounted Syrian threats that it would retaliate for the strike, saying the Assad government and its Hezbollah allies had neither the time nor the energy to engage with Israel as they battle the insurrection.
"It's in the interest of Syria and Lebanon to let this thing die down slowly," said Shlomo Brom, a senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies, an Israeli research center with close ties to the government. "Syria is coming apart, and the last thing they need is for Israel to come into the picture and further weaken and distract them. Hezbollah is also weaker than they have been in the past because of their commitments to Syria. They are concerned that if they get into a war they won't be able to restock their weapons supplies through Syria as they did in the past."
McClatchy special correspondent David Enders contributed to this article from Beirut.

They already had the first two seasons, this one was nearly a given.
To Love Ru Pinkness 01 - Darkness, But Not Seriousness
Unlike with the first two anime series, I haven't read any of the Darkness manga. I did see Episode 00, so I have some background going into this. Mostly, a reintroduction episode. The tone feels fairly consistent with Motto, so I don't think I'm losing too much going in here. Until the zombie attack started happening. Having Momo and Yami take over the protagonist role is an interesting direction for the series to take, so I'm curious about where things are going to go from here. It's a natural followup to the somewhat abrupt conclusion from the previous series, changing Rito's MO from "fall in love" to "becoming King of the Universe, do King of the Universe things."
The opening looks nice, and the music's not bad either. The ending animation is cute, but Kanon Wakeshima's music is still an odd thing to see in TLR in any form. I've been sticking with this for many years now, so here's to another cour more! (Also: Wow, The Anime Network had a quick turnaround on their simulcast here. Up and ready to go the same day it was announced.)

When To Love Ru the anime first came out I didn't pay attention or was at the least bit interested.
Now 2 years later, I decided to check it out. It's wasn't so bad as I thought it would be for an anime with a large dose of fan service. I was quite surprised with the major all star cast of female seiyus.
This season should be hilarious because Momo is in the driving seat this. I look extremely forward to all the dark, sinister and seductive antics she'll plan for Rito and the other girls.

Ah, the third series is finally out! I was okay with the first series, loved the second series, and this looks really promising as the third series.
I know some peeps on here will love this. Harem ftw! If anybody can do this, Momo can. The only concern is will Rito accept this, or will his future lie with trying to single handedly only get Haruna? Well, as seen from this episode, it looks like Rito is beginning to open up to the idea of a harem.
Will it work out? Well, we'll have a whole season to see what types of antics Momo will cook up to resolve that plot point. Of course, now Rito really should have some major power upgrade in order for him to truly deserve the title of heir to Deviluke, King of the Galaxy.

I just watched the first episode. It has the same relaxed pacing as the OVA, but unlike the OVA which was more of a vignette, the TV series has immediately put forward a serious plot and various character tensions, and as a result, the pacing worked really well.
One of the most overt features of this episode for me was the soundtrack. It's sort of a mix of dramatic and tranquil rhythms which seem to better fit the mood of a story like Seirei no Moribito or Juuni Kokuki (not that I can recall the actual soundtrack for either of those). Sometimes it felt like the silence was so large that it deserved to be interrupted by more than just those simple background instrumentals, but overall I thought it was an interesting choice and didn't dislike it.
The OP was also nice. Back when I saw the cover page of chapter 13.5 of the manga, I felt that the mangaka really had a vision for character development, based on the 5 characters that were drawn and the where they were placed. In contrast, I felt that this OP overemphasized Momo by placing emphasis on her character that is a level beyond the other characters. Even if Momo is perhaps the most prominent character in this arc, her character and character development far from constitute its centerpiece (just look a the title--it's "Darkness" not "Momo"). I would've preferred more of an equal emphasis in line with chapter 13.5's color illustration.

Okay, I liked every part of this episode, Celine still causing every one of my heart problems. However, the only problem is this, IT IS CENSORED TO HELL. Seriously, random beams of light everywhere, shadows going overboard, and just plain weird things that somehow pop up to get in the way where it should not be possible.

You know now that I think about it isn't momo is the one closest to rito in the term of sexual encounter...I don't think even the other girl has come close to momo's level, and she's the one who initiated all of it ( humping on the bed, night attack, Borderline BJ ) she even think of the harem plan and thinking of turning rito into carnivore..truly "dark" when compared to other girl rather "pure" encounter...
Can you even imagine if your GF as agressive as momo?

I want to watch this badly, but I don't want to put up with CRs lightbeams everywhere :x
Isn't there an airing later? I don't know if it's on AT-X, but it should air in like 4-6 hours on a diffferent channel. Is the censoring there as heavy as on CR?

The buffer zone between Egypt and Gaza is a no man's land. But beneath the eight-mile Philadelphi Route, this border town stays busy.
Officials on both sides say a vast network of tunnels is used by smugglers to ferry everything from cigarettes and fuel to machine guns and grenades into the Gaza Strip.
Since Israel's 2005 withdrawal from Gaza, Egyptian forces have been responsible for cracking down on this smuggling, with the discrete assistance of US Army specialists. But Israeli officials have increasingly voiced discontent with Egypt's policing. They strongly dispute its claims of success, saying that Cairo's efforts have improved over time but that there is still much that needs to be done.
"There is a certain improvement in this arena in the last few weeks. The measures have been tightened but the results are still far from satisfying because there are still smuggling tunnels," Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak told reporters on Aug. 26.
"Gaza is a big headache for us," says Lt. Col. Yasser Ahmed Ali, commander of the Liaison Agency with International Organizations (LAWIO), an Egyptian military branch that works with multinational peacekeepers in Sinai.
"Since 2005 we have found 452 tunnels," he says. "Maybe we find five tunnels in one day, or 10 or more. Maybe we'll find one on one day and then for the next two days nothing."
The border guards' job has gotten harder, he says, since Israel began blockading Gaza in June 2007, when Hamas gained control of the coastal strip from forces loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah movement based in the West Bank.
The blockade has created shortages of food, medicine, and fuel in Gaza, and has been denounced by Human Rights Watch as an "unlawful" form of "collective punishment."
Colonel Ali says that he believes that until the Israeli blockade ends there is only so much Egypt can do to stem the tide of illegal goods going under the border. "Smuggling will never end," he says. "If the Israelis want the number of smugglers and tunnels to decrease, then they should open Gaza up regularly. We need a legal way to make trade OK."
Still, Egypt has been cracking down on the underground smuggling operation. Early last month, Hamas blamed Egypt for the deaths of eight Palestinians when it used water, gas, and explosives to collapse tunnels under the border.
Smugglers used to bring mainly food and medicine into Gaza, he says, but have since moved on to more profitable, and less humanitarian, forms of contraband. Since 2005, border guards have found hundreds of guns, including 220 AK-47s; 18,465 kilograms of TNT; thousands of bullets; stashes of heroin, marijuana, and hashish; 16,821 packs of cigarettes; and Egyptian, Israeli, Jordanian, American and Saudi currency worth $149,455.
"The smugglers are traders," he says. "They smuggle the most high-profit, economically valuable goods like drugs and cigarettes."
Despite the challenges, Ali says the border guards have brought smuggling under control. He claims "there has been no smuggling of weapons or explosives into Gaza in all of 2008."
Israeli officials strongly dispute that claim, and independent analysts say it is exaggerated.
They point to a report released in April by the Intelligence and Terrorism Research Center (ITRC), a think tank with close ties to the Israeli defense establishment. The report says Hamas has exploited "the helplessness and inefficiency of the Egyptian security forces" and is using the tunnels to stock "a military buildup."
Reuven Erlich, ITRC director, doubts that Egypt has had much success against smuggling, but acknowledges they have been doing more since June.
"They may be making extra efforts now but so far they have not succeeded in reducing the scale of smuggling," he says. "Egypt needs to do more intensive intelligence and operational activity along the border between Sinai, Egypt, and the Gaza Strip."
An Israeli official with knowledge of border issues, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said there was no way Israel could open Gaza's borders while weapons and drug smuggling continues.
"The Egyptians say there are no weapons and ammunition being smuggled, and if that was true then everything would be OK, but that is not the case," says the official. "We know they are still smuggling weapons and narcotics. They smuggle whatever brings money to the people running the tunnels and to Hamas."
Ezzedine Shoukry, the director of the Arab-Israeli Project of the International Crisis Group, says that as long as the demand for smuggled goods is there, then smugglers will find a way to meet it.
But Mr. Shoukry argues that politics may play an even more important role than economics. He says that as long as the international community isolates Hamas, it has little choice but to seek legitimacy through force of arms.
"Without a political process that includes Gaza, what the international community is doing is creating a situation in which Hamas needs military capability to maintain their power and authority," he says.
"The main reason that Hamas took over Gaza was its military power, and the only reason that Israel does not invade and reoccupy Gaza is they know they would suffer serious military losses," adds Shoukry.
But in the Egyptian half of Rafah, smuggling is mostly about dollars and cents.
Standing in a small grove of olive trees in the backyard of an apartment building in downtown Rafah, a team of border guards surveyed a tunnel entrance discovered a day earlier next to a goat pen.
A narrow hole opened in the dry earth, surrounded by young soldiers with machine guns. An old woman screamed at them from under a nearby tree, while military attack dogs sniffed at the goats.
Sometimes local people get angry at the border guards when they discover their tunnels, says Ali, the LAWIO commander, because people whose land host tunnel entrances get a cut of the profits.
And in a poor town like Rafah, smuggling can pay handsomely. "The owners will rent them to anybody," says Ali. "They can rent them for $10,000 an hour if they are smuggling something big, like guns, bombs, or drugs. It is a business."

Plastic bag ban upheld in California!
On August 29, 2014, the California Legislature passed SB 270, the single-use bag ordinance. Gov. Jerry Brown followed through in September and signed the bill into law. "I think," said Gov. Brown, "on balance, this will protect the environment—because we have far too much waste and throughput—but at the same time we're doing it in a very standard way that will not disrupt business in California."
A day later, though, the plastics industry initiated a referendum to challenge the ban, putting it on hold until Election Day, November 8, 2016. On that day, voters put an end to shopping-bag litter by voting YES on PROP 67, and NO on PROP 65.
Our many colleagues in the Clean Seas Coalition advocated across the state on behalf of this issue. For example, NRDC put together a clear summary of the issues, and facts on the substantial benefits that municipal bag bans have already conferred on the landscape: Say good-bye to the plastic shopping bag.
We celebrated when Jerry Brown signed SB 270, and we celebrated on November 9, when the outcome of the vote was known. In our hearts, we sang along with the chorus in this rap video produced by Ben Zolno of New Message Media:
Don't forget foam foodware, another harmful single-use plastic. In 2012, San Rafael passed a foam food-ware ban, and so have 77 other municipalities in California. But we have work to do still! You can help by taking a letter to your favorite food server or your office's party planner, urging them to go green and leave polystyrene behind. Here's our letter to food purveyors.
Consequences of Convenience
We're addicted to plastic, especially plastic bags.
If you are like 95% of US shoppers, whenever you purchase anything, it ends up in a plastic bag. In the grocery store, most of us put our vegetables and fruits as well as bulk items into single-use plastic produce bags, and all those bags end up in a single-use plastic check-out bag.
Shoppers worldwide are using 500 billion to one trillion single-use plastic bags per year.
This translates to about a million bags every minute across the globe, or 150 bags a year for every person on earth. And the number is rising.
"But plastic bags are so convenient!"
It depends on how far you are looking. A plastic bag may be convenient for a minute or two when you carry something out of the store, but consider these costs:
- Plastic bags are made from a non-renewable resource: oil!
An estimated 3 million barrels of oil are required to produce the 19 billion plastic bags used annually in California.
- Greenhouse gas emissions
Plastic manufacturing's air pollution contributes to "global weirding" (extreme weather of all sorts).
- Non-biodegradable
Plastic is food for no one. It never completely breaks down.
- Litter
We see bags hanging on trees, along the roadside, slipping down the storm drain, and floating in the ocean. Even when we do put them in the garbage, they don't always make it to the landfill. 47% of landfill blow-away trash is plastic.
- Toxicity
Manufacturing plastic releases toxins in the air, as does recycling plastic. The additives used in plastic are often toxic and can leach into our food. The surface of plastic is chemically attractive to some of the worst toxins in our environment (e.g., PCBs and pesticide metabolites).
- Harm to Marine Life
An estimated 100,000 marine mammals and turtles, one million seabirds, and countless fish worldwide are killed by plastic rubbish each year.
- Choking the ocean
Beaches on every continent are littered with plastic scraps and particles. In a 2008 surface trawl of the North Pacific Gyre, 46 pounds of plastic were found for every pound of zooplankton.
- We're eating plastic
Fine particles of plastic are taken in by filter-feeders in the ocean. These plastic-laden creatures are then eaten by larger animals and plastics work their way up the food chain, all the way to our seafood menu.

I work for a plastics company. The beauty of plastic is its versatility and reusability. Given the current cost of this raw material, it is a precious resource that communities can collect and resell to help support community activities, like recycling aluminum. For example, in most cases plastic that is of the thermoplastic variety can be remelted, reshaped and recreated 5-10 times – so it's like a cat with nine lives. We choose to throw things away. What we need to establish are efficient reclaiming centers that return money back to the community. Secondly, if you want companies to change packaging, next time you shop, take off the packaging and leave it in the store – this will send the right message to the producers of the product to be more earth friendly.

Hi Raj,
Thanks for this posting. It's a good opportunity to share with you a misconception of what is necessary now, in these times. It is not, as may be thought, a time for seeing how much we can get from a product and it's "nine lives", but a time for reflection. It is now the time where we consider all we have done to damage our environment with our constant need for more and more. I would ask that you reconsider your orientation of thought here. Consider the damage all the plastic that is not reused and most of it is not, what it does to babies, sea life, our hormones, etc.
I agree, it is that we choose not to recycle and it is a huge problem. But, it really is the problem of creating the substance in the first place. There are appropriate uses of plastic, namely medical uses, but not for the general public to consume by way of chemicals.
Your idea to leave the packaging behind is a good one. I will try and do that.
Thank you.

This music video's effective and promises a far reaching educational outreach impact. It's smart, easy, fun, heck it's a popular recognized tune, (note: many people remember the song they learned their alphabet with "Now I know my ABC's"), taps into broader audience and is probably what will come to mind the next time when asked "paper or plastic?". It has more "brain stickiness to accelerate behavior change" than merely thinking "oops, forgot to bring my own bags again….oh well maybe next time". Thank you for this.

I absolutely love this video! It's release coincided with my resolve for the year 2011: No New Plastic in my home for the entire year. I've learned so much already! Just try going into any store, especially food shopping, and fill your cart with only plastic free items – a big wake up. I had not noticed how pervasive plastic has become in our society. Now I am more determined than ever to break the nasty plastic habit! Thanks again for such an important, timely, and musical reminder 🙂

You Don't Need To Make Money From Every Person Who Enjoys Your Product
from the it's-called-advertising dept
Another way to think about it is that BMW creates some entertaining advertisements -- and plenty of people enjoy those ads without ever buying a BMW. Yet, those same people don't complain that folks who watch BMW ads without buying a BMW are "freeloading" off of BMW -- despite the fact that they are. Instead, they understand the nature of advertising is that not everyone buys the product that's actually for sale. In fact, a very small number of people may actually buy the product, but that's okay. It's not freeloading, it's just the nature of a promotion.
Cory Doctorow has taken this concept a step further in explaining yet another reason why micropayments aren't the solution for content online:
I don't care about making sure that everyone who gets a copy of my books pays me for them -- what I care about is ensuring that the everyone who would pay me decent money for a book has the opportunity to do so. I don't want to hold 13-year-olds by the ankles and shake them until their allowance falls out of their pockets, but I do want to be sure that when their parents are thinking about a gift for them, the first thing that springs to mind is my latest $20-$25 hardcover.We've long pointed out plenty of reasons why micropayments aren't a real solution for the "online business model" question surrounding content, with most of the focus being on the mental transaction costs, and the fact that competitors will always beat micropayment solutions by eventually embracing business models using free, but Doctorow makes another good point about the failure of micropayments. Beyond the reasons we've discussed in the past, micropayments also focus too much on shaking the pennies from every passing individual, rather than recognizing the real win is in getting someone else to spend more on a bigger scarce product down the road.

OS X 10.6: Switching the Arabic-PC Keyboard
Normally, as shown here, these characters are on the leftmost key of the top row. On an ISO (102-key) layout, they should be next to Return.
For an alternative layout that I think comes closer to what PC users expect, try this one.
Oddly enough, the Arabic - PC layout that was included in Leopard is OK.

but where i can install it??
- November 27, 2009 at 11:04:00 AM MST
- Tom Gewecke said...
Like all such keyboards, you put the .keylayout file in Home/Library/Keyboard Layouts, then logout/login, then check its box in system prefs/language & text/input sources, then select it in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder.
- November 27, 2009 at 11:19:00 AM MST
- Ma'moun said...
Very useful, thanks!
By the way, do you know the location of the original keyboard layouts embedded in the system?
- November 29, 2009 at 2:18:00 PM MST
- Tom Gewecke said...
The system layouts are in System/Library/Keyboard Layouts. I don't think there is anything you can do with what is there and I would advise leaving it alone.
- November 29, 2009 at 2:28:00 PM MST
- Bob said...
Yes you should leave them alone, but you can duplicate them and modify them for new layouts to be put into your home folder. It's been a few years (Panther OS) and I can't remember how I used to do this with Ukelele. Having said this maybe under Leopard and Snow Leopard it's not advisable.
- November 29, 2009 at 2:50:00 PM MST
- Tom Gewecke said...
Bob -- That's right, things have changed and you cannot do anything with the system layouts in Leopard and Snow Leopard. The Ukelele download provides templates for some of them.
- November 29, 2009 at 2:55:00 PM MST
- Ben said...
The strange thing is that although there is tilde/swiggle key `/~ pressing it while Arabic - PC is selected does not add a thal ذ so you have to use option + 3 but when I use a visual keyboard program called Keystrokes when pressing the tilde button the correct letter appears. Something is amiss
- January 15, 2010 at 8:38:00 PM MST
- Tom Gewecke said...
Ben -- is your physical keyboard ANSI or ISO (ISO has a letter key to the left of z)?
- January 15, 2010 at 9:14:00 PM MST
I tried to install that keyboard layout recommended in the last sentence of this post. But each time I select it at the input source menu, my safari 5 suddenly shuts down! I'm using snow leopard. Either that, the keyboard layout is faded in the menu and thus cannot be selected.
Can anyone help?
- August 30, 2010 at 5:43:00 PM MDT
- Tom Gewecke said...
Salman -- email me and I will send you a copy, maybe it will work better (tom at bluesky dot org).
- September 1, 2010 at 7:59:00 AM MDT
- Abdul said...
thanks Tom, this is very helpful.
I really do appreciate it :)
BTW, is it possible to post a picture of the layout so people can benefit by seeing all the acutlal location of the letter, and for me, it will help me add the Arabic stickers on my laptop :)
thanks again
- November 25, 2010 at 5:30:00 PM MST
- Tom Gewecke said...
Abdul -- You should be able to get the info you need right from the Keyboard Viewer, which you activate in system prefs/language & text/input sources, just like a keyboard. Sorry, I don't have a picture.

Is there no end to the foolishness?
Is there no end to the foolishness?
Regardless of your political posture, if you watch the news, you will have to admit that while all politicians say ridiculous things from time to time, the liberal Dems have the market cornered.
Who can ever forget the Pelosi stupidity of "you have to pass the bill before you know what is in it." Recently we had to painfully listen to Hillary Clinton play dodge-the-blame in the so-called hearing on Benghazi.
We have a president who makes one appointment after another of controversial people who must first apologize to their own party members for insulting comments previously made, before they can get their support during the vetting process — hello Chuck Hagel, a former Republican senator, by the way. Also, he is a great friend of the president and was rumored to be a running mate with Obama in 2008.
Now we have Mary, Mary Quite Contrary Landrieu attacking Fox News while telling Congress why she will not be willing to cut discretionary spending.
Perhaps the Dems nominate a different sap every week to make a public statement slamming Fox for something, all because Fox has the audacity to truthfully report the news.
Landrieu caused embarrassment for herself and for our state with her kindergarten ranting and name-calling. We had a reduction in economic growth last quarter due to the outrageous Obama and Dem spending addiction, but that fireball Harry Reid made a joke about it.
Yes, all of you liberals can bask in the sunshine of having your president for four more years. Problem is, there may be no sunshine left when you are supporting Hillary in her bid for president in 2016.
The Republicans are not without fault. They have managed to turn the majority of voters against any candidate that they choose. As we get millions and millions of illegals each year in the U.S., our president and the Dems will rush legislation to allow them to vote ASAP.
That will ensure an endless flow of Democrats as president of this country. Maybe after the total economic collapse finally takes place, then we may put an end to the reign of the Democrats. Just think, Hillary has almost four years to prepare her pathetic debate responses to how she was asleep at the wheel for Benghazi.
And the beat goes on.

So far this is all very nice!!
I just found this link
I didn't know about all this, and I should have a link to this page from my web site as well; so I will add it soon.
A problem with Linux is, that Greek and Hebrew texts usually do not display properly, missing some of the accenting or Massoretic markings. I see that the above link notes an additional download might be necessary for proper display of these fonts. I hope Linux is intended.
I decided to download the LXX to test it out. I have the file on the desktop now, but it does not go in if I double click on it. An error is indicated, something about not finding a zip directory.
Once I figure this out, I'll probably buy the bundle with Scrivner and the BDB. Scrivner is the NT text I use most often. However, I want to be sure the fonts display correctly. (Stephanus is also one of my favorites, if you are thinking about future stuff).
So Tim, what do you think, on the font displays and installing the LXX?

Witness the speed and agility of the falcons as it dives above you and be thrilled when you release the hawk and it returns to your gloved arm. It's an experience you'll never forget!
Looking to do it all? Book a combination ticket for an Encounter Course and Flight Demonstaration for only $70 *Fees and taxes not included

We hold our Raptor programs at our outdoor theatre rain or shine, but thunder and strong winds threaten safety of the birds and will cause us to cancel. PLEASE REMEMBER to bring hats and sunscreen as there is NO covered area over the open grassland theatre. Paid tickets will be rescheduled to a later date if cancelled due to weather.
We do not allow observers at our Encounter Courses as it's not fair to registrants who paid for the experience to work with the birds. Please ensure everyone in your party has purchased a ticket. Our handlers will be happy to take photos of your friend or family member on their phone or camera in your absence.
Minimum age for this course is 8 due to safety of the large birds and registrants.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Navy conducted successful test flights April 14 and 16 of four Trident II D5 Fleet Ballistic Missiles (FBMs) built by Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT). The Navy launched two unarmed missiles each day from the submerged submarine USS Maryland (SSBN 738) in the Atlantic Ocean.
These tests marked the 139th, 140th, 141st and 142nd successful test flights of the Trident II D5 missile since design completion in 1989 - a reliability record unmatched by any other large ballistic missile or space launch vehicle.
"Under the leadership of Navy Strategic Systems Programs, the Trident Strategic Weapon System continues to demonstrate solid reliability in operationally representative flight testing," said Melanie A. Sloane, vice president of Fleet Ballistic Missile programs, Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, the Navy's Trident missile prime contractor. "These tests are an important part of the strategic deterrence mission because the mere presence of this highly capable system discourages aggression. The stealth and mobility of the submarine-based Trident Strategic Weapon System give it a unique role in deterrence as the most survivable leg of the strategic triad, which ensures the security of our nation against any potential adversary."
The Navy launched the missiles as part of Follow-on Commander's Evaluation Tests. The Navy conducts a continuing series of operational system evaluation tests to assure the safety, reliability, readiness and performance of the Trident Strategic Weapon System, as required by the Department of Defense's National Command Authority. The Navy conducts the tests under the testing guidelines of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The missiles were converted into a test configuration using a test missile kit produced by Lockheed Martin that contains range safety devices, tracking systems and flight telemetry instrumentation.
First deployed in 1990, the D5 missile currently is aboard OHIO-class and British VANGUARD-class submarines. The three-stage, solid-propellant, inertial-guided ballistic missile can travel a nominal range of 4,000 nautical miles and carries multiple independently targeted reentry vehicles.
Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, Sunnyvale, Calif., has been the strategic missile prime contractor for the U.S. Navy Strategic Systems Programs since the inception of the Fleet Ballistic Missile program more than 50 years ago. Lockheed Martin employees, principally in California, Georgia, Florida, Washington, Utah, Virginia and Scotland, support the design, development, production, test, and operation and sustainment of the Trident Strategic Weapon System.
Lockheed Martin leads the industry in performance and domain expertise in strategic missile and missile defense systems. Lockheed Martin designs and produces ballistic missiles, interceptors, target missiles and reentry systems with unmatched reliability. Lockheed Martin's focus on operational excellence yields affordable high-quality systems and services.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs about 123,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation's net sales for 2011 were $46.5 billion.
