For some reason, when I saw this news last night, I just wasn't that worked up about it…even though this means he is free to sign with anyone. I thought "he'll play this media game for a few months and then he may in fact try to latch on with some team mid-summer, or he may not". Then, I did get a little worked up as I thought about it a bit more and realized "crap, he could join the Vikings or Tampa or Cleveland or a few other teams that might end up playing us next year." Then, I got worked down, as it were, as I thought about it even more and thought "I simply don't have the energy to deal with more Favre drama". Then I stopped thinking.

At this point, I say "who cares." After his NY performance, I really don't care if he becomes the starter for Minnesota. I really think he has lost it. The only way he could be effective is if he tried to become something he is not – a controlled QB focused on not losing the game by making only safe throws. That will never happen. Childress is not a strong enough coach to control the Brett.

I think he would be a great fit for MN. They don't need Favre in his prime to win. They need a guy that direct an offense and Favre may be better then anyway at that. MN has a good o-line, the best RB in the league, and now two pretty good WR's. Couple all that with a solid defense and they are good QB play away from being a really good team. Favre can still throw well enough to make that offense really click. I hope he stays retired!

I think he will be with the Vikes this fall, and the Vikes will be an improved team with him at QB. I also hope our pass rush becomes very, very effective.

Good points by all. I like that very effective pash rush higster. I agree that Childress wouldn't be able to keep Favre in line but he may not have to. I think DaveK is right about the Vikes being a QB away from being a really good team. If Favre were to join the Vikes and they gelled, I fill fairly certain he would keep himself in check and could become very dangerous. But like Andy, I've wasted too much time & energy on this whole issue–I'm think I'll just quit thinking.

So, your premise is if he plays for another team that automatically cancels and tarnishes the 16 years he gave the Faithful in Sacred Lambeau Field.
It is to laugh at how dismissive and judgemental you all sound. I guess Green Bay is really Valhalla and how DARE Favre want to continue playing football after the Gods deemed him unworthy.
You have all the ingredients for a very good team with the prospect of a successful season in what looks like a competitive, exciting division.
Believe me Packer fans.. you don't know how lucky you are.

Brett doesn't tarnish his image playing for another team. He tarnishes his image by retiring, then unretiring. It happened once when he was in Green Bay. To that , I say okay. But if it happens a second time, I begin to question the guy. Why retire and unretire? There's got to be a better way for Brett to play if he wants to without lying about his intentions.

This from SI online:
Latest buzz is that new free-agent QB Brett Favre has hired a personal trainer at home in Mississippi. It will be surprising if Favre isn't with the Vikings in training camp. Why did Favre now want to get released from the Jets? Favre's sudden arrival on the market makes you wonder if that's the reason the Vikings haven't spent much on free agency this year. Maybe they knew something. There could be two motives: wanting to play for the Vikings, who have wanted him for a year, and a $20 million pot of gold. The $20 million isn't a new playing contract. The Vikings probably could sign Favre for about $7 million for the coming season, with about $3 million more available in performance bonuses, such as winning the Super Bowl. The $20 million, remember, is what the Packers, for whom Favre played 16 seasons, offered Favre nearly a year ago to retire from Green Bay. The 10-year marketing deal would have made Favre an ambassador for the franchise. Now that the future hall of famer has been released by the Jets, Favre could have new leverage: Give me the $20 million and I'll stay retired. If not, I'll sign with the Vikings and make life miserable for the Packers.
This is how Brett Favre tarnishes his reputation with Packer fans.

This also from SI online:
Just spoke to one of my guys and he gave me some behind-the-scenes insight on why the Jets officially released quarterback Brett Favre from the reserve/retired list on Tuesday night. First, following the draft, Favre asked the Jets for his unconditional release for a "second time," I'm told. If you remember, when he retired last February, Favre and his agent, Bus Cook, denied they had asked the Jets for his official release. But now with Mark Sanchez in the fold, Favre figured he could force the Jets' hand and gain his release. Secondly, the Jets didn't want any "Favre drama" hanging over their heads with Sanchez trying to find his way. If Sanchez struggled this summer in training camp, for instance, the club didn't want the specter of a possible return by Favre hanging over their heads. Sure, the Jets didn't have to grant Favre his wish, but they had nothing to gain by holding onto him and trying to get some compensation (he cost them a third-round pick) if a team wanted to sign him. They felt a mid-round draft pick (at best) wasn't worth the headache. Although Favre said in a statement on Tuesday and through his agent again on Wednesday that he has no intention of returning to football next season, his actions — asking for his release from the Jets twice — don't jive with his words.

"It is to laugh at how dismissive and judgemental you all sound. I guess Green Bay is really Valhalla and how DARE Favre want to continue playing football after the Gods deemed him unworthy"
They didnt' deem him unworthy – he retired. So they took him at his word and moved on. Then when he decided he wanted to play again he didn't say he wanted to come back and play for the Packers – he said he wanted to be released outright.
That is how he tarnishes his image – by being a complete jerk. I understand regretting the decision to retire and wanting to come back. But then you work with the team you signed a contract with to find a solution that works for both parties. You don't demand your release to go play for a division rival and you don't air your grievances on Fox News. You try to keep it 'in the family' out of respect for the franchise and your teammates.
You also tarnish your image by doing the same thing a year later with another team.

Favre going to another team doesn't bother me. The Packers don't want him. I'm not a huge fan of Thompson, but the consensus seems to be he had an excellent draft day and actually addressed the team's needs.
No-one should be paying attention the former QB. At least that's how I feel.
Trav Says:
May 1, 2009 at 6:13 pm |
This story and what Cindy mentioned previously make me think that he will be wearing purple by August. I am in agreement with most: Don't really care anymore. Even Cook's comments about him wanting to retire a Packer are a stretch. I think him wanting to stick it to TT is more on his mind than retiring in the Green and Gold.

Gallant's journey to NHL a lot of 'blood, sweat and tears'
UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- In 38 months since he joined the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, Brett Gallant has played with 149 teammates, sticking up for over a third of the men who have ever worn that sweater. He's seen almost 30 of them move on to dress in an NHL game, 16 of them making their NHL debuts.
Many of those were draft picks, chosen at young ages for predestined greatness. Gallant wasn't one of them. He fought his way out of junior, to the ECHL for a year and a half, to a tryout with Bridgeport, to an AHL contract to an NHL deal in February 2013.
Now, 38 months later, he's an NHLer.
"It's unreal," said his dad, Mike Gallant, Tuesday night; he'd made a long drive from home in Prince Edward Island to see his son make his NHL debut. "It's something you can never take away."
Brett Gallant played six minutes for Bridgeport's parent club, the New York Islanders, against Ottawa at Nassau Coliseum. He put one shot on goal, he laid three hits, and he got into one fight and threw one right hand that sent the Coliseum into a frenzy.
If you watched the Sound Tigers any time over the past 38 months, you had a feeling that could happen.
"I think it's a culmination of putting it all on the line, showing up, being willing and embracing your opportunity," said Sound Tigers teammate Justin Johnson, another of the AHL's toughest players who has scrapped for his own chances.
"It comes down, to me, to three words, blood, sweat and tears. When Gally was 21, he was in a hotel room with his wife and his newborn son. He had to make it work."
To start
He had a chat at the red line at Nassau Coliseum with teammate Scott Mayfield, who jabbed that he had an NHL game on Gallant already. He chipped pucks off the glass and out of the zone with skills coach Bernie Cassell, a few more reps to work on his game.
And then Gallant had completed his first NHL morning skate Tuesday morning, eight hours away from his NHL debut, a long way from Summerside.
"I know he's ready to take this challenge," said Mayfield, who'd made his debut Sunday.
"He deserves it. Being in Bridgeport, he's done everything they've asked of him, more than everything. He works hard on and off the ice. He's a great guy in the locker room."
A scrum of nine or 10 reporters and cameramen swarmed Gallant's dressing-room stall, nine or 10 times what he may get as a Bridgeport Sound Tiger.
"He's a really good guy. He really deserves a chance up here," said Islanders goalie Anders Nilsson, Gallant's teammate the past three years.
"He's done a (heck) of a job in Bridgeport. He supports the guys. He backs up the guys -- he's one of the best tough guys I've ever played with. He really deserves to be here."
Sunday, Gallant fought for the 66th time as a Sound Tiger, more than anyone else. Monday, Gallant got word to get to the Island.
His first calls were to his father and mother at work.
"They were pretty excited," Gallant said. "My father started planning trips to Ottawa."
With that corrected, Mike and Patricia Gallant got in the car Monday night at about 8 and started driving from PEI. Hitting rain in Bangor, Maine, and traffic pretty much everywhere after that, they pulled into Uniondale at about 9:30 a.m.
"Worth the trip," Mike Gallant said.
Brett Gallant is the middle of three boys, all three of whom have played professionally. Bradley, the oldest, was there Tuesday; Alex, the youngest, is with the Columbus Cottonmouths and playing for a Southern Professional Hockey League championship.
"When they were 15, 16, they were probably about 100 pounds," Mike Gallant said. "They got some meat on their bones. They're competitive. And they really hate to fail."
All three wound up about 6 feet tall. Brett is listed at 190 pounds. But he has been more than willing to give height and weight and reach to players like Joel Rechlicz (6-4, 230), Patrick Wellar (6-3, 231), Zack Stortini (6-4, 232), current teammate Johnson (6-1, 220) when Johnson was with Manchester.
Ottawa left winger Matt Kassian goes 6-4, 240.
On the button
Standing between former Bridgeport teammates Ryan Strome and John Persson, Gallant appeared to look over the ice a few times during the two national anthems. There were a few nerves, he said, until he first hopped over the boards with the fourth line.
"I got hit; I gave a hit. I felt good," Gallant said. "From then on, I was ready to go."
After the Islanders were called for icing on his second shift, he found himself opposite Senators captain Jason Spezza's dangerous line. Gallant chipped out of the defensive zone to set up a two-on-one for his linemates.
The third shift would've been an offensive-zone faceoff. He and Kassian dropped their gloves when they thought the puck had been dropped. It hadn't. The linesmen jumped in, and both received minor penalties.
Two minutes later, they left the penalty box, dropped the gloves again, circled each other, engaged. Kassian threw one right hand, which Gallant absorbed. Gallant threw one right hand. Kassian hit the ice.
("Just part of the game," was about all Gallant would say.)
("Right on the button," former Islander Butch Goring said, commenting over the replay on MSG+.)
Five minutes of playing time later, Gallant left the box to a roar.
Up the ladder
Tuesday night, every Ottawa player and 16 of 19 Islanders had been drafted; their slots averaged out to a high third-rounder. Two other Islanders signed NHL contracts as amateur free agents.
Gallant was unique, going from major junior to a lower level, working on his game, turning pro in the ECHL for two years and finally reaching Bridgeport on a tryout on Feb. 10, 2011.
Nine days later was his first of six AHL fights against Rechlicz.
Punching "Gallant Rechlicz" into YouTube is a bit like typing in "Affirmed Alydar," a series of incredible competitions.
That first one, just after Rechlicz scored his first AHL goal for Hershey: They fought right off the faceoff, and once they started, neither one stopped throwing punches for about a minute, Rechlicz the left, Gallant the right, going from center ice into the Bridgeport zone.
"He's showing me to be as tough as anybody I've ever seen," then-coach Pat Bingham said. "I didn't see him blocking any punches, either."
Bridgeport won the next night at home to end an 11-game winless streak. Gallant earned an AHL contract for 2011-12. He worked relentlessly on his game. He signed an NHL contract the year after that. He kept working.
"It shows perseverance. It shows dedication," Bridgeport coach Scott Pellerin said. "Not only toughness, but mental toughness. It's something you can't teach."
And a year after that came Tuesday.
"It was a great day, every experience," Gallant said. "I'm glad I could share it. I've got a lot of really good friends in this dressing room."
He'd seen all of them move up and get that chance, and Tuesday, he made the most of his.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29, 2011 – USDA Under Secretary Kevin Concannon today announced awards to help four states improve enrollment in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs through a process called direct certification. Direct certification requires states and local educational agencies to automatically enroll students from households already participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, without an additional application from the child's family to assist low-income households with children eligible for free meals at school.
"Direct certification helps ensure that every eligible child has access to the healthy nutrition provided by USDA's school meals programs," said Concannon. "Today's awards will assist states in implementing their plans to streamline the certification process so that children can get access to the nutrition they need to learn and thrive, while decreasing administrative errors and waste."
Florida, Missouri, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania were chosen to receive the grants totaling about $2.2 million, provided by the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies Act of 2010. The grants are intended to help states improve direct certification rates for children in households receiving SNAP benefits.
USDA's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) expects to award additional grants to states meeting eligibility requirements each quarter over the next year. Twenty Direct Certification Grants totaling more than $6 million have been made to 16 states since January, including the grants announced today.
Championed by First Lady Michelle Obama as part of her Let's Move! initiative, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 marked a great win for the nearly 32 million school children that participate in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs each school day. USDA is working to implement historic reforms that will mark the most comprehensive change to food in schools in more than a generation. USDA's efforts to improve and enhance the school food environment include: updated school meals nutrition standards to increase fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy; science-based standards for all foods and beverages sold on the school campus; performance-based funding increases for schools – the first real increase in 30 years; and training and technical assistance to help schools meet improved standards.
FNS administers 15 nutrition assistance programs that, in addition to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and National School Lunch Program, also include the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, and the Summer Food Service Program. Taken together, these programs comprise America's nutrition safety net.

OK, this one utterly baffles me.
I am given two solutions to an nth-order homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients. Using the solutions, I am supposed to put a restriction on n (such as n>=5)
I have no idea what method, theorem, or definition is useful to do this.
My current "theory" is that I must find all the different derivatives of the solutions and tally up how many unique derivatives they have. This is wrong, but am I going in the right direction?
The specific solutions for the example are t^3 and (t)(e^t)(sint)
These solutions are to an nth-order homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients, which means that n >= ?
Thanks in advance.

Nice concept but I found the countdown numbers on my F3 just too small to read. I didn't see the point of a Year count which would free up some space and even months could be transferred to Days. I like the format of Time2Race, if it's useful feedback

Picture: Maulin from the West. A reasonably easy objective which can be a good start to many a circuit. Short Summary created by simon3 8 Nov 2010 Maulin has earned the high rate of visits it has through various attractions. It's very accessible from the Crone Wood carpark, itself relatively near Dublin. It can be a component of many circular walks for example around the Dargle River valley and because it has fine views including towards the sea and the mountains. An obvious place to start to reach it is from Crone Wood Carpark O1920 1417 A from which the summit is 1.3km in a SW direction. Navigating to the top from the carpark can be done by two main switchback routes through the trees. One of these is shown on the current OSI sheet 56 and both are shown on the East-West 1:30000 map. It is also possible to park in the vicinity of the closed car park near O210 219 B on "Long Hill" and take a path following the edge of the forest first up, then down and finally onto the ridge to the east of Maulin. Maulin has experienced serious trail erosion particularly on the East side, which has attracted some remedial attention.

I parked in Crone and followed the path to the Stile as described by many contributers previously. I planned to follow the wall up the side of the forest and find the summit that way. This is a very rough route however, so I really would recommend water proof boots and poles. I can only imagine that the Raven's Glen only gets wetter in the Summer months as the ice melts. As a detour I scrambled across the rocks in the Glen to O'Tooles Rocks. The picture shown is one of the many waterfalls in the area. Once the top of the forest is reached it's just a push for the top along the top line of the forest and on to a trail which leads around to the summit. the views were pretty excellent and all the usuals were in view, including Snowdonia in Wales. I will return to this walk and take on the Tonduffs and Djouce another day. This summit is easily followed on Forest tracks to the top of Crone and out to the heather via a forest firebreak.

Hence I turned back to the relative safety of my car! On my return for my bi weekly walk in the hills, I wanted something a) close to home b) not that demanding and c) I hadn't climbed before - with the excellent comments about this mountain on your site - Maulin was chosen! I parked in Crone Forest car park - loads of space 100 cars + maybe? Followed Wicklow Way (WW) up through the forest and more or less followed csd's route to the top. The path seems to have had recent work on it, with a path marked out to reduce / minimise erosion with a few signs indicating to walkers to please stay within the path boundary. I found csd's wall - can't really miss it, and followed down a sharp descent to a wider path turning right and contouring below the shoulder already climbed. As this path curves right and begins to rise, there is a wooden stile and gate which leads in to the forest on your left and down a ride - I presume this was csd's way too! Again this is quite a steep descent, an old wall to your left, some felling on your right. At bottom of this path, I turned left and almost immediately right on to what could only be described as a not overly used mountain bike trail which wound its way down hill through the trees, crossing a wall a few times until you have a clear descent along the top of the wall, which ends back on the WW, turn left and head for home!! I wore shorts and didn't need my gaiters which I had stowed in my backpack having read previous comments, but boots are essential! A wonderful walk, it took me approx 3 hours but then I did have a few stops to admire the scenery, take on water and have a munch which is why I walk in the mountains anyway!! Having seen some naive people on the mountains recently on Ben Nevis and indeed Maulin - respect mountains, respect weather, be prepared for evey eventuality and take home your rubbish, I followed a small group of walkers on Maulin who left their discarded water bottles and sandwich wrappers on the hillside, they are now in my bin.

Amazon Delivery Drones? Not So Fast
Delivery by drone must clear state hurdles first.
Not so fast, Jeff Bezos—before Amazon can deploy its fleet of delivery drones, the company will have to wait for the results of drone tests at six state-run sites, which the FAA will select later this month.
At least 24 states are competing to host these sites, which are expected to bring jobs and investment from a rapidly growing industry. Congress has directed the FAA to safely integrate unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), or unarmed drones, into the national airspace by 2015. Until then, the FAA has said it will grant flight privileges to UAV operators on a case-by-case basis.
Bezos, the CEO of the Seattle-based e-commerce giant, said in an interview broadcast Sunday on CBS's "60 Minutes" news program that Amazon hopes to use drones to make same-day deliveries within five years of FAA approval. "It will work, and it will happen, and it's gonna be a lot of fun," Bezos said.
Amazon's plan is yet another example of how drones could transform everyday life. Manufacturers tout the machines' ability to carry water to a wildfire, monitor storm systems, locate missing persons or even deliver pizza.
Governors are well aware of the technology's job potential for engineers, programmers and pilots. Already, Oklahoma's Republican Gov. Mary Fallin has a cabinet-level secretary dedicated to attracting drone companies to the state. New Mexico, which has a long history of testing military aircraft, has already secured a site. In promotional materials, Utah boasts that it is "one of the few states with unified executive and legislative support for UAV testing."
The Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), the trade association for drone manufacturers, estimates that integrating drones into the national airspace will generate at least 70,000 engineering, manufacturing and piloting jobs within the first three years of FAA approval.
The states that win the test sites also will be charged with developing privacy policies for drones, to protect the public from surveillance by drones performing all sorts of tasks, including delivering packages. During this past legislative session, eight states put limits on how law enforcement officers can use drones, and set guidelines for how long data collected from a drone can be stored in a database.
Still, those concerns haven't stopped the majority of states from moving ahead to attract drone businesses. Even in Virginia, where tea partyers and civil libertarians worked together to pass a two-year moratorium on drone use by anyone other than the military, the economic temptation of aerospace jobs and an FAA test site convinced the legislature and the governor to all but gut the moratorium in a special session.
"Not only would future job prospects dim, but current businesses and those they employ would be at risk," warned Peter Bale, chairman of the AUVSI, in a letter to Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, a Republican. "More than 50 companies that manufacture UAVs have a footprint in Virginia. A moratorium would create an unfriendly environment for these companies, which as a result might look to take their business, as well as jobs, elsewhere."
In response, McDonnell added exemptions to the moratorium for researchers and companies to test drones, so long as they are not armed or used for surveillance. Virginia and New Jersey are teaming up to apply for a joint drone test site, competing against 22 other states vying for one of the spots.
Republican Gov. Paul LePage of Maine also refused to sign a bill limiting drone use. "This bill will harm any opportunity Maine has to create new jobs in the aerospace industry," LePage wrote after vetoing a bill limiting law enforcement use of drones. "It is the wrong message to send if we want these jobs." Instead, LePage directed the state Department of Public Safety to create guidelines for law enforcement use of drones.
A model drone policy from the Aerospace States Association, the Council of State Governments and the National Conference of State Legislatures urges states to require a warrant for drone surveillance of an individual; prohibit the re-use of video or photos collected by a drone for other investigations; and ban weapons from domestic drones.

Sheryl Crow sings for homeless pets; Lulu's Barkin' BBQ raises $850,000 for Dumb Friends League
Sometimes, recording artists get it in their heads that audiences want to hear new music, obscure music … anything but their greatest hits.
And while we'll give 'em this — that singing the same songs concert after concert can be tedious for the vocalist and his or her band — fans are indeed disappointed when the set list doesn't include at least some of the tunes that made the artist famous.
Nine-time Grammy winner Sheryl Crow gave the crowd more than its money's worth when she headlined Lulu's Barkin' BBQ, the annual hoedown that Fred and Jana Bartlit host as a fundraiser for the Dumb Friends League.
Her hour-long show included nearly all of her hits, including "Soak Up the Sun," "The First Cut Is The Deepest," "All I Wanna Do" and "If It Makes You Happy."
She further endeared herself by pointing out that a couple of the boys in her band were wearing shirts they'd purchased at the Larimer Square boutique, Cry Baby Ranch.

This article first appeared in Aviation Week & Space Technology.
A quarter of a century after the requirement emerged, South Korea is within months of finalizing its F-X fighter program. A decision on F-X Phase 3 will be made by June, and three international companies are vying for the contract.
The Pentagon officially notified Congress of the potential sale of 60 Boeing F-15 Silent Eagles or Lockheed Martin F-35s as South Korea's minister of foreign affairs, Yun Byung-Se, was meeting earlier this month with U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel at the Pentagon. These formal offerings coincidentally come as North Korea grows increasingly bellicose against its southern neighbor and the U.S.
Boeing is proposing a hybrid sale where the F-15 Silent Eagle would be excluded from the foreign military sale of the subsystems, and thus not disclosed in the price. The company says the cost of the subsystems—the active, electronically scanned array radar; infrared search-and-track targeting system; secure radios; advanced displays and mission-planning systems as well as an airborne GPS receiver is $2.408 billion.
The price of the actual aircraft was not disclosed. However, Brad Jones, who managed the concept at its unveiling in 2009, said at the time that the cost of a new Silent Eagle would be roughly $100 million.
Lockheed Martin's offering of F-35As is priced at $10.8 billion, including the aircraft, each with a Pratt & Whitney F135 engine and nine spares, and the 3F software package, says Eric Schnaible, a company spokesman. The 3F is slated for use by the U.S. Air Force, and includes more weapons and offensive capabilities than the rudimentary 3I, the first release slated for foreign customers.
The third available type is the Eurofighter Typhoon, and operational issues are not the only factors in Seoul's decision. Korean Aerospace Industries (KAI) would likely build, or at least assemble, 48 Typhoons if South Korea bought that aircraft, according to industry officials. KAI would also be assured of at least as large a role for the Silent Eagle. The Korean manufacturer is already building major assemblies of the F-15K, which won the earlier F-X Phase 1 and 2 competitions, held last decade to partly fill a requirement that first emerged in 1988.
South Korea could make the center wing box and tail surfaces of the F-35 as a second-source supplier for the global program, says Lockheed Martin. The company is negotiating with Japan on how much of the stealth fighter will be built in that country, which chose it in late 2011. Japan will also have an assembly line but South Korea is not seeking one.
In the South Korean competition, as elsewhere, rivals have offered a range of options for local production, officials say. It is always cheaper to fully import fighters, taking them from factories that are well experienced in building them, but if the customer wants to pay for a lot of local production, it can do so. One question will be how much work there will be in making detailed parts and building assemblies, as distinct from simply mating parts sent from the U.S. or Europe.
The newer F-35 and Typhoon offer higher manufacturing technology than the F-15 can. The F-35, in particular, would bring the technology for building to the tight tolerances required for a stealthy aircraft.
Eurofighter cites its freedom from U.S. regulations as a strength for technology transfer. The Typhoon could serve as the basis for a proposed indigenous fighter, the KF-X, that is sought in the future, or Eurofighter could supply technology for an all-new aircraft. Lockheed Martin and Boeing are also offering to support development of the KF-X. They are handicapped by the U.S. government's restrictions, but Eurofighter's governments will surely not give it a completely free hand.
The Silent Eagle, based on the F-15E, is stealthier, thanks to limited internal weapons carriage and tail fins counted outward by 15 deg. When stealth is unneeded, after enemy air defenses have been suppressed, it can be adapted to carry larger loads. Boeing signed an agreement in late 2010 with KAI to design and build the conformal weapons bays for the aircraft.
An F-35 selection, by contrast, would bring with it the cachet of South Korea's participation in the largest fighter procurement in history. The per-unit price of the F-35 would likely be higher. But, interoperability with allied forces would be simplified by operating identical platforms. Also, the F-35 would offer a higher-end stealth solution for South Korea to complement its purchase of F-15Ks already on order.
The drawbacks for an F-35 sale, however, could include the following: limited payload versus the F-15 Silent Eagle's capacity and the uncertainty associated with maintenance and sustainment cost. Also, the Pentagon is hopeful that development will wrap up by October 2017, but this could be subject to change if a major problem crops up in flight testing. So, there could be risk associated in the delivery.
Risk, however, is not minimal for the Silent Eagle, which has yet to conduct a full suite of testing.

Per its name, The Billboard 200 is a weekly list of the 200 highest-selling albums in the US. The official soundtrack for Halo: Reach debuted at No.157 for the past week, the best mark ever for the franchise.
Past Halo soundtracks have also hit Billboard's 200 - Halo 2 got up to 162 in 2004; Halo 3 spent just one week at 200 in 2007, and Halo 3: ODST spent one week at 179 last year.
Billboard notes that all sales of the Halo: Reach soundtrack so far are digital-only; the album's physical release is on September 28.
But it is the first Halo soundtrack to crack the top 10 on Billboard's Soundtracks rankings, debuting at No.8.

Early milk feeds 'benefits premature babies'
At-risk premature babies would benefit from being given milk feeds earlier, a study has suggested.
The University of Oxford study found babies were not at a higher risk of severe bowel problems if moved off IV-feeds early, as was feared.
Four hundred babies, born at least five weeks early and small for their age, were studied for the Pediatrics paper.
The premature baby charity Bliss said it hoped the findings would lead to a change in feeding practices.
Over 60,000 babies are born prematurely every year in the UK and one in 10 babies born in the UK needs some form of special care because of problems during their birth, because of a life-threatening condition or because they were born too early.
High-risk premature babies are vulnerable to severe bowel problems, including a condition called necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). Concerns over this risk has led to special care units previously tending to delay the start of milk feeds.
But IV feeding can also cause complications, including liver problems.
The researchers behind this study, which was funded by the charity Action Medical Research, wanted to examine if underweight premature babies could take milk earlier, which would then help them gain a healthy weight sooner.
Feeding 'challenge'
The study was co-ordinated by the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit at the University of Oxford, and carried out at 54 hospitals across UK and Ireland.
Almost half of the babies in the trial needed some help with their breathing, although really sick babies were not included.
Half of the babies were introduced to milk feeds on day two of life, while the remainder were given milk on day six.
Three quarters were given their mother's breast milk, rather than donor milk or formula.
Full feeding - defined as babies successfully taking milk feeds for 72 hours - was achieved earlier in the babies who started milk feeds on day two.
On average, babies who started milk feeds on day two of life were being fully milk fed by 18 days of age - compared with an average of 21 days of age in those who started on day six.
And the early milk feed group spent an average of 11 days in high-dependency cots, compared with 15 for the later group.
Crucially, there was no statistically significant difference in the number of babies experiencing severe bowel problems, including NEC.
In the group given early feeds, 36 (18%) developed NEC, compared with 30 (15%) of those who started later.
The authors of the paper, led by Dr Alison Leaf and Professor Peter Brocklehurst conclude that babies "would generally benefit from starting milk feeds within the first 24-48 hours after birth".
Dr Leaf, now based at the Princess Anne Hospital in Southampton, said: "These babies are a challenge to feed. Good nutrition and growth is very important, however their body organs, including the bowel, are immature.
Professor Brocklehurst, director of the Institute for Women's Health at University College London, added: "Early feeding appears to be better for these high risk babies. This research will enable more high risk premature babies to be fed early, and to achieve full feeding earlier.
"This will reduce the need for intravenous drips and infusions."
The team say their findings can be put into effect on special care baby units immediately.
Jane Abbott, from the premature baby charity Bliss said: "We welcome this research as it increases understanding about feeding practice for vulnerable babies, an area where there are known to be gaps in knowledge.
"We hope the findings will lead to changes in practice to ensure better outcomes for these babies and their families.
"Earlier discharge home not only frees up cot space but also means that the whole family can benefit as the emotional and financial stresses will be reduced."

June is a good time to check in on some of the game's top prospects — and not just because baseball recently wrapped up its annual amateur draft.
This is also the month when teams might become more aggressive in promoting top minor league talent. Stephen Strasburg made his debut for Washington in June 2010, and Wil Myers made his first appearance for Tampa Bay around this time last year.
By June, a player has had time to prove he's conquered the minor league level, and major league clubs may have a better sense of where they need help.
There's also the threat of arbitration, which adds financial risk if a team calls up a top prospect too early in the season and makes him eligible down the road as a "Super 2." The major league service time required for arbitration last offseason was 2 years, 122 days. The top 22 percent by service time of players with two years in the majors and fewer than three are eligible.
As the season progresses deeper into June, the chance of a promoted player earning Super 2 status drops considerably.
The Houston Astros didn't seem overly concerned with that when they called up George Springer in mid-April. The 24-year-old outfielder has rewarded them with 12 home runs.
Gregory Polanco is still in the minors, hitting .347 for Pittsburgh's Triple-A affiliate in Indianapolis. Languishing below .500 but by no means out of the playoff race, the Pirates could use a boost, and it may be up to Polanco to provide it.
The Miami Marlins, meanwhile, are in a virtual tie for first in the NL East despite losing ace Jose Fernandez for the season with an elbow injury. Could another talented pitching prospect be on the way? Left-hander Andrew Heaney has 27 strikeouts with only two walks after four starts at Triple-A New Orleans.
Here are five things to watch around the majors this week:
RAY OF LIGHT?: The Rays looked poised for another postseason appearance before the season started, but Tampa Bay has lost 12 of 13 and almost incomprehensibly has baseball's worst record. The Rays begin a three-game series at Houston on Friday, followed by 10 straight games at home in what could be their best remaining chance to turn things around before it's too late.
MARQUEE MATCHUP: Max Scherzer of Detroit takes on Chris Sale of the White Sox in Chicago on Thursday night — a matchup of the pitchers who finished first and fifth in last year's American League Cy Young Award vote.
SHOT IN THE ARM: Troy Tulowitzki's great start hasn't been enough to keep the Colorado Rockies within striking distance of NL West-leading San Francisco. Hoping to bolster their rotation, the Rockies called up right-hander Eddie Butler from Double-A. He was knocked around in his debut Friday, but he's scheduled to pitch again Wednesday night against Atlanta.
K IS FOR KLUBER: Cleveland has won eight of nine to pull right back into the thick of the AL Central race. Right-hander Corey Kluber is third in the AL with 99 strikeouts. He'll face Yordano Ventura and the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night.
GOING DEEP: The AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays have five hitters with at least 10 homers. The Blue Jays begin a three-game series Monday against the Twins, who have the AL's worst ERA.
STAT OF THE WEEK: After routing Baltimore 11-1 Sunday, the Oakland Athletics have outscored their opponents by 128 runs on the season. The last team with a run differential that impressive through 63 games was the 1998 New York Yankees, according to STATS. Those Yankees outscored opponents by 135 runs during a 47-16 start, and they went on to win 114 games and the World Series.

Eric Butler, a freelance web application and software developer, has released a new Firefox add-on over the weekend called Firesheep that aims to highlight the lack of security surrounding user logins and cookies on popular websites such as Facebook.
Firesheep can be added to Firefox just like any other add-on. Once installed it displays a new sidebar that displays information about individual users logged into sites like Facebook when connected over an unsecured and open network. If a user pops up in this sidebar Firesheep allows you to login as them with a double-click of your mouse. It's that simple.
Firesheep works due to poor security on the part of the website. While a user's username and password may be protected with SSL encryption, the cookie the site uses is not in a lot of cases once that login has been successful. So once a user has logged in it is a simple task of hijacking the unprotected cookie taking over their account for that session.
Read more at codebutler
Matthew's Opinion
If you want to protect against Firesheep then the first thing to do is ensure the wireless network you are connecting through isn't open and protection is enabled. TechCrunch also has a post of a possible way to protect your login from Firesheep if you do need to use an insecure and open network.
The solution really needs to come from the website offering the login and cookie, though. Protection should not just be on the initial login, but on the entire session using HTTPS or SSL.
As Eric points out at the end of his post:
Websites have a responsibility to protect the people who depend on their services. They've been ignoring this responsibility for too long, and it's time for everyone to demand a more secure web. My hope is that Firesheep will help the users win.

When you're traveling and you're on a tight schedule, getting bumped from a flight can be a huge inconvenience. If you have flexibility though, getting bumped can provide some nice perks. Either way, overselling flights is just part of the airline business, so be sure you know your rights how to make the most of the situation.
Don't fear bumping.
- Airlines must ask for volunteers before bumping unwilling passengers. Since airlines want happy customers, they will often up the ante to get volunteers before forcing someone to switch flights.
- Getting to the airport early is the best way to make sure you get on your flight. Even if an airline bumps by fare level, they will generally start with the lowest fare class and bump those who checked in last.
If you volunteer to get bumped, ask the right questions.
- Make sure you get a confirmed seat on the next flight, not a standby ticket.
- Overnight costs could negate your compensation—be sure the airline will pay for your hotel and ground transportation in addition to giving you a voucher for future travel.
- There's room for negotiation, so ask for a seat upgrade or meal vouchers, especially if the airline is having a difficult time getting volunteers.
- Try to get a travel voucher for a certain dollar amount rather than "free" tickets, which usually have more restrictions.
If you are involuntarily bumped, know the rules.
- With involuntary bumping, airlines must follow a strict set of compensation standards:
- You are not entitled to any compensation if you still get to your destination within an hour of the original arrival time.
- If you arrive within 1-2 hours (or 1-4 hours internationally), the airline must pay double your one-way fare, with a $650 maximum.
- If you arrive more than two hours later (or four hours internationally), the airline must pay you four times your one-way fare, with a $1300 maximum.
- If you are involuntarily bumped, you have the right to insist on a check instead of a voucher or tickets.
Final Word: Know the rules when it comes to getting bumped from a flight. Keep in mind that every airline has their own check-in deadline, and if you miss that, you lose your reservation and therefore any bumping compensation.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Senior Chinedum Umachi (Detroit, Mich.) led the way with a pair of wins and a fourth-place finish, as the MIT men's track and field team won the Westmont Collegiate Classic on Saturday afternoon. Umachi accounted for 17 points for the Cardinal and Gray, which edged out host Westmont by 0.50 points for the team title.
Umachi was a winner in the hammer throw, 166-07 feet, and the discus, with a 137-03-foot effort. The senior also took fourth in the shot put, reaching 44-0.50 feet.
Senior Daniel Harper (Naperville, Ill.) took first place in the 5000 meters with his time of 15:10.08, over a full minute faster than his closest competitor. Harper also came back to finish 10th in the 1500m (4:08.14). Harper was one of three Tech harriers in the top 10 of the 1500, as sophomore Justin Bullock (Detroit, Mich.) was second in 4:01.28 and junior Kyle Hannon (Park Ridge, Ill.) took eighth. Bullock also earned a fifth-place showing in the 800 meters in 1:58.93.
Sophomore Tyler Singer-Clark (Falmouth, Mass.) had a busy afternoon, running third in the 200 meters (22.29 seconds), fourth in the 400 meters (49.13) and also completing a leg of the second-place 4x100 relay, which finished in 43.03 seconds. Singer-Clark was joined on the relay by juniors Josh Duncavage (Austin, Texas) and Jackson Wirekoh (Woodbridge, Va.) and freshman Nick Diamantoni (Belle Mead, N.J.).
Senior Stephen Serene (Washington, D.C.), racing by himself in the 3000 Steeplechase, posted an impressive time of 9:33.25, good for 13th-best in Division III on the season.
The Cardinal and Gray will take on host RPI and WPI in the Engineer's Cup next weekend.

The handgun performance most American civilian shooters can expect today is light-years ahead of where most pistol ammo was even two decades ago. With more sophisticated projectiles, today's leading ammunition manufacturers have developed bullets capable of neutralizing larger threats with less recoil from smaller pistols. It all adds up to a better self-defense tool in a smaller package that's easier to carry with less recoil that can make you a more accurate shooter. But that wasn't always the case.
The Chinese invented the world's first handguns along with the early development of gunpowder in the country. These firearms were literally hand cannons, often fired at the end of a long handle with ball ammunition.
From there, technology improved the hand cannon design into a more compact version that still closely resembled those early hand cannons, which most historians date in the 15th century. In the 18th and 19th century, a more modern looking pistols evolved, as did the revolver.
Today's shooters tend to favor 9mm rounds, based on domestic ammo sales data in the United States. 380 ACP ammo, .40 S&W and 45 ACP are all very popular rounds as well, as many shooters and law enforcement officers rely on these rounds to defend their families and communities.
You'll see a full line-up of in-stock handgun ammo for sale in the various calibers listed above. We work to keep a steady stream of pistol ammo available for plinking as well as hollow point rounds that are designed to be relied upon in an emergency.

THE Obeid family used ''inside information'' that coalmining would start in NSW's Bylong Valley to snap up farms sitting on lucrative coal deposits, a corruption inquiry has heard.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption is investigating former Labor minister Ian Macdonald's decision in 2008 to open the Bylong Valley to coalmining and how it benefited another ex-minister, Eddie Obeid.
Mr Macdonald is accused of doing the bidding of Obeid family members, who allegedly hid their involvement through complex trust and company structures.
Confidential documents made by Chris Rumore, a lawyer for the Obeid family, were shown to the inquiry yesterday, revealing the Obeids knew about a government expressions of interest (EOI) process to open up coalmining in the Bylong Valley before the EOI was issued.
One of the documents referred to a meeting between Mr Rumore and Paul and Gerard Obeid, two sons of Eddie Obeid, on June 23, 2008.
The government EOI was issued on September 9, 2008.
''The Obeids were telling you that an EOI would issue … and they knew that it would relate to obviously coal,'' counsel assisting the inquiry Geoffrey Watson put to Mr Rumore.
''Yes,'' Mr Rumore replied.
The inquiry has previously heard only high-level officials inside the department of primary industries or the minister's office should have had access to the ''inside information''.
The inquiry was told that in 2008 the Obeid family acquired two properties in the coal-rich Bylong Valley located close to another property, Cherrydale Park, that Eddie Obeid had acquired in September 2007.
Mr Rumore said the Obeids stood to gain financially from the purchases after the EOI was issued and mining leases were granted over the land.
''I was always told that the Obeids expected that when the mining lease was granted that their property would increase three to four times its current value as a rural property,'' Mr Rumore told the inquiry.
Mr Rumore said at the time he did not consider the EOI information was secret because it was openly discussed by the Obeids.
Earlier, John Cherry, a former accountant and farmer who sold Cherrydale Park to the Obeids, said Eddie Obeid wanted to change details on documents to hide his involvement.
Mr Cherry said Mr Obeid wanted to make the changes to create the appearance that ''he was against coalmining in the Bylong Valley''.
The inquiry will continue today.
TESTIMONY: Lawyer Chris Rumore, right, leaves after giving evidence.

Hi! Ken Schwaber here. Jeff Sutherland and I developed the Scrum process for complex product development over the last twenty years, and have been friends and co-workers over the last thirty years. We both had become somewhat discouraged as waterfall ate into our pleasure of bringing sophisticated products to market, and Scrum became our effort to redeem our professional lives and professions. I still remember the epiphany I had at DuPont's Advanced Research Facility, when I discovered that our research not only had legs, but was based on first principles .... complex processes require empirical process control!
Over the last ten years, I've developed and signed the Agile Manifesto, and founded and chaired first the Agile Alliance and then the Scrum Alliance. These have all helped Agile and Scrum become accepted as successful alternatives to waterfall and predictive processes, and have been excellent community focal points. We've sometimes floundered, such as during certifications, but our profession is a better place to be now than it was ten years ago.
Agile is now used in more development organizations than waterfall, and in 2009, 86% of all Agile development was based in Scrum. Does this mean that Scrum is superior? No, it simply means that Scrum is simple, well-explained, and easy for people to understand as a community and Scrum teams. However, Scrum is not a silver-bullet. It does not bring success. Intelligent, hard working people can use Scrum to overcome waterfall habits and build the best possible products, but the effort is great and those that succeed will be in the minority. I predicted five years ago that only 25% of all organizations that embraced Scrum would fully benefit, and I see now reason to change my projections.
This fall, I'm leaving behind my community based work with the various Alliances. I've enjoyed the experience and the company. However, I think I can best serve my profession by focusing on working just with those that have the determination to do better, regardless. Those that embrace change to reach excellence. Accordingly, I've started Scrum.org. A small number of those with a similar determination and mind-set to mine will be working with me there to help those who are want to reclaim their profession, marketplace dominance, and professional excellence. We will focus on self-assessment, training, coaching, consulting, and superlatives.
This site, the first home of Scrum, will remain standing with a library of materials that I've created on the journey so far. Also, I'll publish a list of sessions when I will work with the general public in workshops. I look forward to our continued journey, For now, I refer you to www.scrum.org.
Best regards,
Ken Schwaber
