Union Station the metro connection to Amtrak and coastal adventures. The first train to run through this station was the Baltimore and Ohio Pittsburgh express, which arrived here at 06:30 am on October 27, 1907. Source
Union station with it's Beaux-Arts architecture, Classical architecture opened in 1907. This is a small version of Grand Central but offers much of the same charm.
Fun facts the 36 statues were originally naked and later were given shields. This is the perfect place to spend time with you favorite Greek god or demigod: Prometheus, Apollo, Ceres, Themis, and Thales, the mathematician or Archimedes.
The station once had its own mortuary. Also it had a Presidential Suite, which was used by the Presidents as well as Kings and Queens of various countries to spend their quality time.
With over 100,00 visitors daily there are plenty of shops and dining options to choose from. My favs are H&M, Ann Taylor and Papyrus. Stop by for a sugary treat with all that walking you earned those calories.

This week, I've had the privilege of being able to read Why Holiness Matters, the new book by Tyler Braun. Tyler is a 27-year-old pastor from Portland, Oregon, and was good enough to answer a few questions about himself and his book.
Hi Tyler.
Hey James.
Give us a little background on yourself and where you've come from to get to where you are today.
I grew up as the oldest child of a pastor and have known the church as a home for my entire life. Over the past 12 years I've primarily served within the church through music, and over the past 5 years I've been studying at Multnomah Biblical Seminary in pursuit of a Master's Degree (I graduate this December). I'm from Oregon and love the laid back culture of the Pacific Northwest.
What does your ideal day look like?
I never thought I'd say this but it starts by getting up early and spending at least 30 minutes in prayer, meditation, and reading. From there I enjoy a good bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee while I write for an hour or so. I like to go on a run before my day fully begins. But the ideal day would have to include some golfing in the afternoon, and a movie on the couch in the evening.
Where's your favourite place in the world?
Of all the places I've been to, Crater Lake (in Oregon) and Jackson Hole, Wyoming have always been top on my list of most beautiful places. I also enjoy spending time with my in-laws in Alaska during the winter. I've never experienced a slower pace of life than Alaska in the winter, which is perfect for a restful vacation. I guess that isn't just one place. Hopefully 3 works for you!
Why did you write this book?
So other people could begin to experience the abundant life God designed for us all to live. I don't believe this is possible without a pursuit of holiness.
If there's one 'take-home message' you want people to carry with them after reading it, what would it be?
Holiness begins through God's love for each of us, and is lived out as our love for Him changes the way we live.
What's your hope for the church over the next ten years?
I would love to see my generation, with all their zeal for loving people, to also love their God with the same zeal.
Thanks for answering these questions!
No problem.
The book itself is a brilliant read. It's just shy of 150 pages which, in my opinion, is a great plus-point. The book doesn't try to be something it's not or labour over the same point page after page; instead, it is an easy read, but still packs a punch.
A self-confessed millenial child (someone born between 1980 and 2000), Tyler's outlook on the world and on people is one that I could easily identify with, even though it's naturally written from an American perspective. Tyler doesn't write with any sense of arrogance or superiority; in fact throughout, there is a genuine sense that he is on this journey to pursue holiness as much as the rest of us are, and that makes the book infinitely more accessible.
He's also refreshingly realistic about the call to holiness, making the point that it's "not a quick fix". In a world which offers and demands instant results, the call to a lifelong pursuit of holiness is counter-cultural, but it's one of the most important challenges we face as Christians.
One of the most important points Braun makes is that holiness is not a new concept, or a new set of rules. Holiness comes out of our relationship with God, and it is that relationship – and the relationships we consequently form with other people – that is central.
Also important is the idea of community, of the pursuit of holiness not being a solo act but one conducted in and amongst groups of believers, with deep relationships. Whilst these may sound like obvious points, they are important ones, and the book makes clear the importance of remembering these crucial foundations.
This book doesn't answer all the questions you might have about holiness and the challenge of being holy, but then I don't think that's what Tyler set out to do.
What he has written is not an instruction manual but a beautiful book which encourages, inspires and challenges the reader to consider what it is to be holy in the 21st century, and why holiness – something which has slipped out of many people's religious consciences – is so important.
About why holiness matters.
To find out more about Tyler Braun, visit his website or follow him on Twitter. He was hugely helpful in providing information for this review, but didn't attempt to influence my thoughts on it.

Those who have been reading this blog lately know that I am very interested in the question of whether the office of apostle is supposed to be a continuing office in the church—a claim that is central to the religion of the Latter-day Saints, or Mormons. So I was interested in a paper given at ETS last week arguing for the continuation of the office of apostle. Frank Chan, a professor at Nyack College, does not accept the LDS claim that apostles in the sense of revelational spokesmen for Jesus Christ are supposed to be living and leading the church today. According to Chan, both traditional Christians and Mormons are mistaken in defining an apostle in this sense.
Chan's paper at ETS last week was his third ETS paper developing his view. The first paper, "Apostles and Prophets as the Foundation of the Church: Rethinking a Popular Cessationist Reading of Ephesians 2:20," was presented in 2005. His second, ""The Apostleship of Jesus as the Basis for Redefining Apostleship Along Non-Cessationist Lines," was presented in 2006. The third paper, read last week, is "Flaws in J. B. Lightfoot's Cessationist Concept of Apostleship: A Critique of the So-Called 'Eyewitness of the Resurrection' Requirement." The thrust of this third paper is that while the Jerusalem apostles were expected to be eyewitnesses of the resurrection, other apostles, notably those associated in the NT with Antioch, were not required or expected to be such eyewitnesses. Chan concludes that while apostles like those in Jerusalem do not live in the church today, apostles like those associated with Antioch can and do. Contrary to Lightfoot, according to Chan, Paul in 1 Corinthians 9:1 was not affirming that the "eyewitness requirement" applied to all apostles, but merely paying "respectful lip service" to the requirement because it served his purpose to do so (since Paul happened to qualify on this basis).
In "Apostleship of Jesus," Chan defines the term apostle as follows: "an apostle is an individual who has received divinely commissioned authority for some pioneering, foundation-building, gospel-related task, as validated by a variety of commonly recognized evidences" (p. 4, emphasis in original). If this is what one means by "apostle," then I think most Christians would agree that such persons exist in the church today (although we might need to be careful to define what is meant by "divinely commissioned authority"). The question is whether this definition reflects NT usage, as Chan thinks.
I will not attempt to critique Chan's arguments in this post. I do think it is important that evangelical scholars study these issues carefully and discuss them with each other. In later posts, as I continue the series on apostles and the LDS Church, I will comment as appropriate on relevant elements of Chan's arguments.

How I am
Last weekend, I drove down to CT to celebrate the wedding of my friends Anna and Heidi. Anna and I have been friends for a long time and she has helped me through some difficult days. I love her to pieces--and Heidi is wonderful, too. We always have fun. They were married last month in California, but I could not go. I was too sick.
After the reception on Sunday, which was low-key, creative, family-oriented, all-girl, and lovely, Anna and I (that's us with Phoenix, above) got to spend some time alone together in the car on our way to her sister's house--her sister who recently survived an amazing bout with a rare cancer.
Anna is one of my closest friends, perhaps my closest female friend, in a lot of ways, and yet we haven't been able to see each other much or talk much this last year or so. She lives in New Jersey now, so it takes some effort to get together. And I have been too tired, and for many months after the accident, too debilitated.
In the car, she said, "How are you?" and she asked in such a gentle way, I knew she wanted a real answer.I struggle with this question. I struggle to answer anyone honestly, partly because I can't always tell how much people want to know, partly because I feel so confused by the tangled thread of the truth that I can't get at an answer that can be explained quickly in any linear narrative way—let alone in one word--and partly because I often feel so much better when I'm around people who care about me that I feel cheerful and then I can't remember how bad things are. It's like living in a dimly lit room, but then having someone light a candle and then turn to me and say, "How is the light in this room?"
It's terrific now, thanks!
But then they leave…and it gets dark again, and they don't understand that this is happening to me because I haven't told them. So they leave, thinking I'm fine, when really, I'm not.
There's also a large component of stubborn adherence to my rural Maine upbringing and my mother's fierce determination that one should never be a victim, which translated to my child self meant one should never have needs or—God forbid! Express them. One doesn't complain, one sucks it up, no matter how extreme the condition. Add to this a high threshold for suffering and pain and an even higher expectation of what I should be able to tolerate without complaining, and I get very confused by this question, "How are you?"
But, I had made up my mind before I left for the drive down to the reception that I would be honest with Anna about my health if she asked. I didn't know what the words would be, but I knew I would try—and so I made a few mental notes, a crib sheet for describing unwellness, so that when the light came on I wouldn't forget about the shadows.
"How are you?" she asked.
And I told her that the fatigue was still very bad, but that other things had improved. The migraines, the vertigo, the allergies, a handful of other things have gotten much better or gone away entirely. But the fatigue, while somewhat improved, remains a big problem. And now there is this mysterious and dramatic weight gain that seems to be an unstoppable force of nature, there are the feelings of helplessness and discomfort that go along with that—the irritating inability to find clothes that fit or feel attractive, the yucky swelling in my face and hands—along with the pain.
"It's very difficult for me to walk or stand," I told her. And it's not just my knee—that injury has healed mostly—it's like when I stand up, there are lead weights on all my joints, especially my hips and sacrum. It feels like there is extra gravity pressing on me and it makes it painful and difficult to function—or to exercise, which I'm sure doesn't help with the bizarre piling on of weight.
To my great relief, Anna said she'd been having a hard time physically, too. I want Anna to be happy and healthy always! And she looks fit and attractive as ever. I was relieved because she got it. Because she wasn't living on the outside of the glass box I feel I am always in, with the healthy people on the outside not comprehending what it can be like to be plagued with illness, particularly the kind of illness that has no name, no successful treatment, only Byzantine corridors filled with doctor's visits and blood work and attempts at therapies and questions that only lead to answers that create even more questions or that result in dead ends.
Anna's health issues are her own so I won't describe them, but we were able to say, "me, too!" to one another here and there, and in this feeling there was great calm for me. There was dismay that someone I love has struggles, of course, and there was also comfort in that we could talk with one another about it—and that perhaps we could help one another find answers.
Her sister took steroids as part of her cancer treatment and experienced a weight gain that should have gone away by now, but won't. This is very much like what happened to me. Last fall, I saw a psychiatrist about my severe PMS depression. He prescribed a tiny dose of Prozac—one quarter of the smallest does usually prescribed—and in the six weeks I was on the medication, I gained two cup sizes in my breasts, my hands swelled to the point that I could no longer wear my rings, I gained 15 pounds—and I got no relief from the PMS.
The psychiatrist said he'd never seen anything like it. "That's impressive," were his exact words.
I went off the Prozac, but a year later, I do not have my body back.
I saw my primary care physician (PCP) (who is actually a Physician's Assistant) who tested my thyroid, my sugars, my iron levels, and found nothing wrong, so she never followed up. I pursued another primary care physician who suggested I take B vitamins. (I did. It didn't help.) I tried a gynecologist thinking she'd know something about hormones. She put me on a birth control pill, which did help with the depression, but which put my libido into a coma and left me feeling generally sort of odd. I also put another almost a pound a week on my body during the 12 weeks that I took it.
After eight weeks, I went back to the gynecologist to express my concern about the weight. It was February. She said it was just "weight from the holidays" and not to worry. (What holidays? It didn't even occur to her that I don't celebrate whatever the hell eating festival she thought I did.)
[9.26.08 There's more to this post, but I'm having technical difficulties and haven't been able to get it live yet. Stay tuned.]

Oulart Made to work for third title
Alan Aherne (2nd October 2005)
Oulart The Ballagh 1-7, St Martins 0-6
Oulart The Ballagh's control of the WFC Senior Camogie championship continued in Bellefield on Sunday last when they shook off the persistent challenge posed by first time finalists St Martins to claim glory for an impressive third year on the trot.
It was a far from vintage display by the holders in a disappointing game which produced a mere seven scores from play, but they deserve credit for keeping their composure and defending stoutly to retain the title.
And after overcoming this tricky hurdle against a somewhat unknown quantity with four points in reserve, they will now spare no effort in their bid to account for reigning All Ireland champions, Freshford, in the Leinster final on October 23.
It was Oulart The Ballagh's fifth county decider on the trot, but the first where they didn't lock horns with old rivals St Ibar's. A confident and promising St Martin's side had seen off their Wexford district rivals by the minimum margin in the semi-final, and they approached their debut on the big stage with plenty of optimism.
Oulart The Ballagh were clearly wary of the challenge posed by the underdogs in their first clash in a major game, and they were boosted by the return to action of talented teenager Una Leacy.
The inter-county regular had missed the semi-final with a wrist injury, but she entered the fray at midfield and played a key role in the success, particularly in the second half as she enjoyed a great battle with the giant-hearted Sinead Dempsey.
The best quality camogie was witnessed before the break, but it was dour and dogged thereafter as the middle third of the field became clogged up and a number of stoppages disrupted the flow of the game.
With Ursula Jacob also starting at full-forward after coming off the bench in the semi-final, Oulart The Ballagh were at full strength but fell into early arrears.
Nearly four minutes had elapsed when a throw in 43 metres out broke kindly to 15 year old wing forward Katrina Parrock, and the promising St Martins attacker fired her side into the lead with a sweet point at the town end.
Their advantage was short lived though, as an attempted clearance by Sinead Dempsey was blocked by Una Leacy who gathered the ball and picked off the equaliser.
The reigning champions hit the front in the eleventh minute and were never headed thereafter, with Ursula Jacob's dangerous free tapped over the bar by county colleague Margaret D'Arcy after a chop on team captain Aisling Moran.
Shortly afterwards a lovely low pass from Una Leacy was gathered by Jacob who finished neatly to make it 0-3 to 0-1, but she was off target from a free before St Martins hit back.
A long-range free from Aine Codd broke around the goalmouth where Katrina Parrock's initial effort was blocked, but Tina Bergin picked up the pieces and sent over a neat point.
The all-important Oulart The Ballagh goal arrived in the 16th minute. The latest of several accurate deliveries by stylish young wing back Siobhan Cullen was plucked from the air by Ciara Storey and she duly earned a penalty as she turned and prepared to shoot.
Maire O'Connor, Margaret D'Arcy and Katrina Parrock went back on the line to face Ursula Jacob's pile-driver, and the ace attacker picked her spot in the roof of the net to stretch the Oulart The Ballagh advantage to 1-3 to 0-2.d'
It was a cruel blow for the challengers and D'Arcy was called upon moments later to make an important save and deny Ciara Storey a possible second goal.
Oulart The Ballagh were determined to press home their advantage though, and a Stacey Redmond delivery was was won by Ursula Jacob who pointed from a tight angle in the 19th minute.
St Martins moved Katrina Parrock to the '40 in a straight swap with team captain Nicola Butler, but their cause wasn't helped when their marvellous servant at full back, Maire O'Connor, sustained a knee injury moments later.
She seemed set to depart the scene after going down again in the first half added time, but sheer determination ensured that she finished the game – a remarkable 22 years after winning a Junior championship medal at the tender age of 12.
Her sister Aine Codd, was also given a new role in the approach to half time, playing as a sweeper after Tina Bergin was moved from full forward to pick up industrious attacker Diane Ryan.
Codd was on hand to block a goal-scoring attempt by Ciara Storey in the 26th minute, with Ursula Jacob converting the resultant '45 to leave Oulart The Ballagh with a healthy 1-5 to 0-2 lead.
St Martins did pull a point back after one of their best moves when Muireann McCarthy sprayed a neat cross-field pass into Deirdre Colfer's corner. Wing forward Orla Power gathered the sliotar seconds later on the run and impressively split the posts to leave five between them at half time.
The score should have filled the newcomers with hope, but their chances were limited after the break as both sides struggled to show the type of form they are capable of.
Just one of the five additional scores recorded came from open play, and St Martins couldn't fashion a really clear-cut goal chance despite piping their rivals by three points to two.
In many respects it was a mirror image of the problems faced by the county Senior team earlier this year in converting possession into scores. While this year defenders are plentiful in Wexford, forwards capable of doing regular damage are in much short supply.
St Martins sent Katrina Parrock into full forward in a bid to unlock the Oulart The Ballagh defence, but that was always going to be a tall order considering Helena Jacob was free in that department.
Coleen Atkinson held her ground when Tina Bergin ventured outfield, and she picked up Parrock on the restart while her right corner back mopped up a lot of loose balls.
Further congestion was brought to the middle third when Ciara Storey drifted out there early in the last quarter, with Oulart The Ballagh having to defend doggedly as they didn't score in the final 20 minutes.
St Martin's managed to eat into that five point lead early in the new half when Karen Atkinson was penalised for over carrying and Miriam Lambert converted the resultant free (1-5 to 0-4).
Oulart The Ballagh hit back in the 37th minute when Ursula Jacob was fouled and duly pointed the placed ball, while she also played a part in their last score. Another free from the left wing was only partially cleared, and Una Leacy made space on the strong solo run before splitting the posts for the second time.
Aine Codd was instructed to go for goal from a free in the 41st minute when it might have been wiser to opt for a point, and her head high shot effort was stopped and cleared.
However a pointed '45 from Miriam Lambert kept St Martin's in the hunt, but their best efforts were repeatedly thwarted by a rock solid Oulart The Ballagh defence.
A Lambert free came back off the post after 51 minutes and Katrina Parrock and Nicola Butler were denied in the follow up, while substitute Louise Fanning sent a ground stroke wide 60 seconds later.
Ursula Jacob was brought out to the '40 as the holders tried to win some badly needed possession, while Mary Leacy made a vital catch when Miriam Lambert landed another free into the goalmouth.
St Martins made several positional changes in a last ditch bid to turn the game around, moving Aine Codd first to midfield and later to full forward. They also brought Margaret D'Arcy out of the goal and introduced Triona Doyle between the posts at the death, but the four plus minutes of added time only yielded one consolation point from a Miriam Lambert free.
The experience of being champions clearly helped Oulart The Ballagh as they withstood the best that the saints could throw at them, with their defence deserving most of the plaudits.
The excellent first touch and neat clearances of teenage winger Siobhan Cullen caught the eye. She was a deserving winner of the Player of the Match award, performing her duties without any fanfare but always looking composed on the ball.
All of her colleagues at the back could be happy with their day's work, while Una Leacy and Ursula Jacob received lots of support further afield from Caroline Murphy, Diane Ryan and Ciara Storey.
Having lost to Freshford in the replayed final of 2003 and last year's penultimate round, Oulart The Ballagh will relish the prospect of getting another crack at the Kilkenny Champions.
And it will take a very good team to knock them off their pedestal in Wexford when one considers their dominance of the underage scene in recent years.
Still, St Martin's have taken an important step in the right direction, and they need only look at the path taken by their conquerors as the incentive for the future.
Oulart The Ballagh lost two finals before winning their first, so the message to the ladies from Piercestown and Murrintown is clear, keep believing, re-double their efforts, and that day in the sun mightn't be too far away.
County Chairman Larry Dunne did the honours at the after-match presentation, handing over the Packie Kelly Memorial Cup to Oulart The Ballagh captain Aisling Moran, and the player of the match award to Siobhan Cullen.
Oulart The Ballagh: Fiona Dunne, Helena Jacob, Coleen Atkinson, Karen Atkinson, Stacey Redmond, Mary Leacy, Siobhan Cullen, Aishling Moran (Capt), Una Leacy (0-2), Sharon Kehoe, Diane Ryan, Caroline Murphy, Ciara Storey, Ursula Jacob (1-5), Emma Moran.

There is a goal in most of society to enable people to be self-sufficient members of civilization, able to take care of themselves and provide for themselves in terms of food, health, a place to live, clothing, transportation, and other essential needs, like paying bills. This means an education or training to get a job, with the hope that their income is able to give them a comfortable standard of living that lets them pursue personal passions and spend time enjoying life with loved ones when not at work
These are the adult years, and with advances in medicine, health, and especially nutrition, lifespans are on the rise. With that, a person's self-sufficient years are growing, sometimes being as many as fifty or more years, as many seniors are taking care of themselves further and further into old age. However, it has not changed that those who are young and some who are old still need helping hands. People and society have obligations to provide child care and aged care to those in need. The generations that bookend a life cycle are the responsibility of the tens of millions of working age who are healthy, independent, and able to support those who are not able to support themselves yet or those who are unable to continue supporting themselves.
Child care is the responsibility primarily of parents. They have to keep babies clothed, fed, clean, and comfortable. They also need to provide medical care and start teaching them things like the alphabet, colors, and basic vocabulary. Children certainly do need to be allowed to play to practice creativity and motor control, as well as learn how to socialize with others, but learn personal interests too. Child care is often thought of as just supervising kids in safety, but parents do need to raise their children in such ways that they eventually become the independent and contributing members of society that civilization relies on for everyone's benefit and well-being.
Child care does not end when a child is old enough to go to public school. Many parents unfortunately turn more into babysitters at this point, just making sure their kids stay clean, fed, safe, and well-rested before sending them back to school. While schools are very necessary to teach kids many things in preparation for adulthood, parents still need to teach their children their values and how to do things that schools might not cover, ranging from spiritual and religious beliefs to how to deal with the opposite gender, care for a car, shop wisely for things, and handle personal budgets or find a job.
Child care is also not something that parents alone should handle. It was once controversially but famously said that 'it takes a village,' and the truth is that parents need all the help that they can get when it comes to raising kids. If it's a first kid, they've never done it before, and even if it's their second or third kid, they've got more than one kid to deal with right now!
Childless aunts and uncles should step in to help with anything they do know how to do, and grandparents are often happy to help since they've been through it before. Other parents are often a serious form of help.
Eventually children do grow up to be adults, and many provide their own child care to their own offspring, but they need to keep an eye on their parents. As people move up in years, many have trouble facing the fact that they are slowing down and they might not want to admit they can't do the things they used to be able to do. As such, it might take a family intervention for them to realize they can't drive at dark, drive at all, or do other things that are essential components of a self-sufficient lifestyle.
Considering that anyone who has lived long enough to make it to retirement has spent multiple decades contributing to the larger economy, the tax base, and the safety net programs that everyone will eventually rely on, it is an obligation of society to help families take care of their aged relatives. The aforementioned increases in lifespans means that some who live into their supposed golden years wind up in very different shapes. Some have minds that are still as sharp as ever but their bodies are not in great shape, whereas others can still walk and talk but their minds slip, and sometimes they never come back mentally. It's tragic when a person is gone years before their body, but it does happen to some.
Any family that has an older relative needing care and supervision should be able to find help, as residential homes are not always the answer and a facility might be needed. Working-age adults do want to care for their parents, but they have to keep working for a living, caring for their kids, and making sure their own lives matter before their time is up.

Two years ago, Dave Oiserwitz took over this Mariners program. Oiserwitz had been an assistant for several years. Everyone knew it would be a tough situation with a lot of young players. Toms River North had a roster that featured a lot of freshman and sophomores. Many players would experience the varsity level for the first time. The team went through a lot of growing pains, finishing with a 1-9 record. However, they went out and battled every single night. You could see that a foundation was in place. It was easy to see the talent and potential that these kids had.
Last year, the Mariners came back stronger and ready to compete in Class A South. The team rallied together following an opening night victory over Lacey. The Mariners would experience a five game improvement in 2014. Toms River North went 6-5, and won a playoff game by defeating an undefeated Lenape team 19-10. For everyone that follows South Jersey Group V, defeating any powerhouse in the West Jersey Football League is no easy task. The team would also get valuable experience, losing to the eventual section champion Cherokee Chiefs in the second round. The building blocks are all there for this Mariners team. Now Coach Oiserwitz will take many of these players into their third year in this program. This year, everyone knows the Mariners are a fighting team that will compete to the end. Mariners fans should be very optimistic about the upcoming season.
Head Coach – Dave Oiserwitz ( 5th Season Overall) 18-23
2014 Record – 6-5 SJ Group V Semifinals
Key Returns – Mike Husni (JR QB) Asante Moorer (SR RB/FS) Luke Butera ( SR OL/DL) Darian Carrington (JR WR/DB) Dashon Copes (SR DL) Bryce Watts (JR WR/DB) Christian Lynch ( SR OLB) Tim Petersen ( SR OL/DL) Matt Tomaschek (SR FS) Cole LaBatch ( JR OL/DL)
Key Losses: Jordan Craig ( TE/DE) Valdez Santiago (WR/DB) Joe Fantozzi (OL) Tyler MacLaine ( LB) Adam Kakar (OL/DL) Mike Siwiec (RB/LB) Parker Day (RB)
The Mariners are one of only two teams in Class A South to return their starting quarterback from last season. Mike Husni goes into his junior year as one of the best signal callers at the Shore. Husni had a fantastic season in 2014, passing for 1289 yards and 12 touchdowns. Husni also made a tremendous impact on the team by using his mobility. He rushed for 1387 yards and 12 scores. Teams have a hard time defending Mike because he can hurt you with his arm and legs. This also opens up the running game for the tailbacks because defenses have to respect Husni. As a QB, Husni was also one of the most efficient passers in the league. He was only picked off three times the entire year. Many times throughout the season, we would see Mike make a huge play to put this team over the edge. The Mariners also have Seniors Garrick Ross and Richard Schwarting in camp. Both players are competing for the No 2 job.
There is nothing like having a junior QB with two years starting experience. Husni was forced into action early by being thrown into the fire as a freshman. Husni stepped up to the plate and showed tremendous heart. Mike has come a long way over the past two years. This experience has helped him develop into an outstanding leader. Expect big things from Mike Husni this season.
Jim Rosa had a chance to catch up with Mike Husni
The power running game has always been a trademark of Toms River North football. When you look back at many of the great North teams of the past, they always relied on strong running ability, and ball control. Once again Toms River North will have plenty of that in 2015. Senior running back Asante Moorer is back into the fold for 2015. Moorer is a three year starter who knows how to explode through the holes. Moorer enjoyed a great season in 2014, rushing for 1064 yards and 9 touchdowns. Moorer knows how to use his strength to power past defenders, and can use his agility to make people miss. He is a back that you want to hand the ball to in the red zone. Toms River North will have to find another compliment to Moorer this year after losing running back Parker Day. Day has officially transferred to Manasquan for his junior year. Day chipped in with 381 yards in 2014. The Mariners will look to fullback Tommy Donovan, and sophomore Daryn Blackwell to provide depth in the backfield.
Ryan Wydra talked with Running Back Asante Moorer about the upcoming season.
Mariners fans have to be excited about the Wide Receivers for this team. Mike Husni will have some of the best targets in the Shore. It will be very hard for any opposing team to defend the multiple weapons that Toms River North has. Junior Darian Carrington will lead the charge for the Mariners. Carrington is a big target at 6'2″ that can do so many things. Carrington knows how to use his size to create mismatches, and he can be deadly in the red zone. Carrington caught 16 passes for 284 yards and 2 touchdowns in 2014. He'll look to build on those numbers. J
Junior Bryce Watts will occupy the second WR position for the Mariners. Watts is another huge weapon at 6'2″ that can do a lot of damage on the field. Watts can use his strength and speed to beat a lot of defensive backs in this league. Carrington and Watts will be the quite the duo each and every week. Junior Kenny Cook along with Sophomores Andrew Daniluk and Anthony Urso will all be in the mix for playing time at this position. They will have to take advantage of their opportunities in camp. Coach Oiserwitz will have plenty of options in this pistol offense.
The tight end postiion will be interesting for Toms River North this year. The Mariners graduated Jordan Craig who was a huge part of this offense. While it will be very difficult to match the production of Craig, this team has plenty of depth that will be ready to go on game day. The team will depend upon seniors Calvin Jackson and Quintinn Manning to step up this year. Both Jackson and Manning are good blockers, and can get involved in the passing game when needed. Junior Michael Faone will also provide depth at this position. Faone can make things happen on the field. Toms River North will use multiple tight ends to add another feature to the offense.
One trademark of a Mariners football team is the standout offensive line. The Mariners have always been known to win the battle in the trenches. Everything always starts at the line of scrimmage. These linemen spend the entire year building their strength and size to give their team the best chance to win. This is a major reason why North has always had such a powerful running game. Anyone can see the results when a team has two 1,000 yard rushers in one season. The big guys can simply get it done!
Senior Captain and three year starter Luke Butera returns to lead this group. The Lafayette Commit is one of the best linemen in the Shore at 6'3″ and 280lbs. Butera knows how to use his strength to hold down defensive linemen. Butera is also athletic for his size, and can move around very well. It is Butera's strong leadership skills that have helped make this offensive line so successful. Tim Petersen is the other Senior Captain. Petersen brings a lot of experience and knows how to motivate his teammates. Petersen also has a very good technique and is well rounded in run and pass blocking. Look for Petersen to have another great season. Cole LaBatch is another lineman who is a real difference maker. LaBatch is very dominating at 6'3″ and 277 pounds. Butera, LaBatch, and Petersen really anchor this offensive line. Toms River North will also return Esiah Santiago. Santiago knows how to completely overwhelm his opponents. Juniior Will Sagarese and Sophomore Billy Dowd will also look to get on in the field. Both Sagarese and Dowd really demonstrate the depth of this offensive line. Look for a dominating performance out of this group in 2015.
NJSR had a chance to talk with Senior Captain Luke Butera
Defensively, the Mariners will look to make a statement. This unit has a lot of talent. They can make life miserable for offenses around the league. Toms River North will once again use a 3-4 scheme. This can be really effective as the rush linebackers can put a lot of pressure on the quarterback.
Senior Christian Lynch will be looking to have another big year. Lynch finished the 2014 season with 63 tackles and was able to show his athleticism on every play. Lynch knows when to stay at home, and when to go after the quarterback. He can use his instincts to track down ball carriers behind the line of scrimmage. Lynch is clearly one of the best linebackers in the Shore. Calvin Jackson will man the inside linebacker position. Jackson can use his strength to shed blocks and make the play when needed. Jackson will be counted on to be consistent throughout the season. Tommy Donovan and Mike Congialosi will also be a big part of this defense. Both linebackers got some experience last year and will build on that in 2015. They will have the opportunity to make a huge impact on the field. Anthony Strollino wlll also be a factor. Strollino is very athletic and a basketball player. He has the speed and instincts that any coach is looking for at the position.
The defensive line will also be tough for the Mariners. Dashon Copes is as tough a player as they come. Copes is just a monster at the defensive end position. He is a matchup nightmare at 6'1″ and 285 pounds. There are not very many offensive linemen in the Shore that are capable of blocking him. Copes sacked the quarterback 12 times during the 2014 season. He also led the team with 91 tackles. There is not much more that you can ask out of a defensive linemen. Every opposing coach will be watching his film before an upcoming matchup. Cole LaBatch is also another huge part of this defensive line. LaBatch also has tremendous size and can simply overpower opponents. LaBatch is another player that is almost impossible to block. Copes and LaBatch are quite the combination on this line. Esiah Santamaria and Randy Carbone will also contribute to the Mariners attack on defense.
Ryan Wydra had a chance to talk to Dashon Copes
The back end of this Mariners defense is definitely one of strength. Senior Matt Tomaschek is ready to lead this group into action. Tomaschek is a 2 year starter and will use his experience to help put his teammates in a position to succeed. Tomaschek can provide help in pass coverage, and step up in the box when needed. Tomaschek will be joined by Asante Moorer at the other safety position. Moorer is making the transition to playing both ways. We all know what kind of player Moorer has been on offense. Moorer will have to use his speed and athleticism to contribute on defense. Moorer has been picking up the 3-4 really well in practice.
The Cornerbacks will once again be Bryce Watts and Darian Carrington. Watts can use his size and instincts to dominate opponents. Watts can shut down a play with press coverage, and go for the ball when the opportunity is there. Carrington is also a bigger corner who can make things very tough for another team. Senior David Palmer and Junior Janaire Bradley will compete to get on the field in nickel and dime situations. This secondary will be very tough for anyone to compete against.
This Mariners group has gotten a lot of experience over the past two years. In 2013, it was about dealing with the growing pains. For 2014, it was about competing again in A South. With the 2015 season right around the corner, expectations are now very high for this squad. Everything is in place with the excellent offense that they have. The offensive line and skill position players are very talented. Defensively they have the strength, athleticism, and determination to compete with anybody. Class A South is not only one of the best divisions in the Shore, but possibly the State. Every week is going to be a war no matter who the Mariners are playing. After observing this team in camp, they know what is at stake and are ready to get this program back to a superior level. Expect big things from the Toms River North Mariners in 2015!

The General Atomics Avenger (formerly Predator C) is a developmental unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) built by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems for the United States military. Its first flight occurred on 4 April 2009. Unlike the previous MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper (Predator B) drones, the Avenger is powered by a turbofan engine, and its design includes stealth features such as internal weapons storage, and an "S" shaped exhaust for reduced heat and radar signature. The Avenger will support the same weapons as the MQ-9, and carry the Lynx Synthetic aperture radar SAR and a version of the F-35 Lightning II's electro-optical targeting system (EOTS), called the Advanced Low-observable Embedded Reconnaissance Targeting (ALERT) system. The Avenger will use the same ground support infrastructure as the MQ-1 and MQ-9, including the ground control station and existing communications networks.
Predator C
New Predator C Hints At Stealth, Weaponry
David A. Fulghum firstname.lastname@example.com
Bill Sweetman firstname.lastname@example.com
Apr 15, 2009
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems has quietly rolled out its new Avenger unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) - formerly known as the Predator C - and completed its first three flights on April 4, 13 and 14.
While company officials are not calling it a stealthy aircraft, they will admit to a reduced radar signature. The 20-hour-endurance UCAV's undeniably low-observable design offers clues about how it could be employed.
A weapons bay allows internal carriage of 500-pound bombs with GBU-38 Joint Direct Attack Munitions with GPS navigation and laser guidance kits attached. Given the aircraft's 41-ft length - which will increase by at least two feet in the second test aircraft - the weapons bay appears to be 10-feet long.
The bay doors can be removed to allow installation of a semi-submerged, wide-area surveillance pod. The aircraft is designed to carry about 3,000 pounds of weapons and sensors. For an additional two hours of flying time, fuel tanks also can be installed in the weapons bay.
A long, featureless underside further provides an ideal location for a sensor such as an all-weather, active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar. The wide-area surveillance system - to be provided by the U.S. Air Force - has yet to be defined. It would be carried by a specialized all-reconnaissance version of the Avenger.
The V-tail both deflects radar and shields infrared signature of the aircraft's 4,800-pound thrust Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545B turbofan. Predator C has two all-flying tail surfaces that each have two servos for flight-control redundancy.
The hump-backed design of the aircraft offers room enough for a serpentine exhaust to prevent radar observation of the turbine. Pratt has been developing an S-shaped exhaust system that both offers protection from radar and cooling to reduce the infrared signature. The engine is expected to provide an airspeed of at least 400 knots, but company officials say envelope expansion tests may prove the speed to be "considerably greater". The UCAV's operational altitude would be up to 60,000 feet.
The Avenger's 17-degree sweep, 66-ft. span wing and tail are all aligned in plan view with one or other of the leading edges. This is the same shaping discipline used on classic stealth designs like the F-22 and B-2.
The cranked trailing edge provides the aerodynamic and structural benefits of a tapered wing and helps shield the engine inlet from radar. Other design elements, from nose to tail, help avoid radar cross-section hot spots that would be caused by a curved side.
The aircraft was designed from its inception so that the wing could be folded at the point where it cranks for storage in hangars or for aircraft carrier operations. The UCAV also comes with a tailhook, which suggests that carrier-related trials are planned.
The inner section of the cranked wing is deep, providing structural strength for carrier landings and generous fuel volume while maintaining a dry, folding outer wing.
Editor's note: The original version of this story included erroneous dimensions, which have since been corrected.
Predator C Avenger Makes First Flights
By David A. Fulghum and Bill Sweetman
Apr 17, 2009
A new, reduced-signature, unmanned aircraft\u2014the long-rumored, 20-hr.-endurance, pure-jet Predator C Avenger\u2014has emerged from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems\u2019 workshops after a 3�-year gestation period paced by massive growth in UAV production and the use of unmanned designs in combat.
The UAV\u2019s undeniably stealthed-up exterior offers several clues about how the aircraft could be employed.
A weapons bay allows internal carriage of 500-lb. bombs with GBU-38 JDAM tail kit and laser guidance. Given the aircraft\u2019s 41-ft. length (which will expand by at least 2 ft. in the second test aircraft), the weapons bay appears to be 10 ft. long.
The weapons bay doors can be removed to allow installation of a semi-submerged, wide-area surveillance pod, says Tom Cassidy, president, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems\u2019 Aircraft Systems Group. Cassidy has earned a unique reputation by using company funds to develop what he believes the military needs rather than chasing Pentagon requirements that shift with disheartening regularity to produce cost increases and production delays. The result is a family of Gnat and Predator designs that are used by all the services and intelligence agencies.
The Predator C, like the B-variants, is designed to carry about 3,000 lb. of weapons and sensors. In a non-stealthy environment, weapons could also be attached externally on the fuselage and wings. For an additional 2 hr. of flying time, fuel tanks can be installed in the weapons bay. Normal fuel storage is split 50/50 between the wings and fuselage.
The Avenger\u2019s electrical power is expected, at least initially, to be less than the 45 kva. available on Predator B variants. A long, featureless underside provides a low-distortion design for carriage of a wide-area surveillance sensor such as an all-weather, active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar. The wide-area surveillance system\u2014to be provided by the Air Force\u2014has yet to be defined. However, it would be carried by a specialized all-reconnaissance version of the Avenger. A Lynx SAR is likely carried in the lower part of the nose. Absent from the prototype is the EO/IR sensor turret used by the Predator family. A retractable installation may have been developed.
The vertically-oriented V-tail both deflects radar and shields the 4,800-lb. thrust Pratt & Whitney Canada\u2019s PW545B engine exhaust\u2019s infrared signature. Predator C has two all-flying tail surfaces with two servos each for flight-control redundancy. The humpbacked design of the engine compartment offers room enough for a serpentine exhaust that eliminates radar observation of the engine. Pratt & Whitney has been developing an S-shaped exhaust that offers protection from radar observation and cooling to reduce the IR signature. The engine is expected to provide an airspeed of at least 400 kt., but Cassidy says envelope expansion tests may produce speeds \u201cconsiderably greater\u201d than that. Its operational altitude is up to 60,000 ft.
The Avenger\u2019s 17-deg. swept wing (66-ft. span) and tail edges are all parallel in plan view with one or the other leading edges. It is the same shaping discipline used on classic stealth designs like the B-22 and B-2. The cranked trailing edge provides the aerodynamic and structural benefits of a tapered wing and helps shield the engine inlet from radar. Canted upper and power body sides meet at a sharp chine line, continuous from nose to tail, thereby avoiding the radar cross-section hot spot caused by a curved side.
The thickness and curvature of the inboard wing are noteworthy, pointing to an effort to achieve laminar flow over as much of the wing as possible. The prototype carries tufts over the left wing/body junction that allow engineers to visualize airflow in that area.
General Atomics Aeronautical\u2019s parent company includes a division that produces materials for controlling radar, optical and infrared signatures. Adjacent to the company\u2019s Rancho Bernardo, Calif., facility are the world\u2019s largest indoor radar cross section testing ranges. Likely challenges would have included building a \u201cbandpass\u201d radome for the satcom antenna above the nose. It must be transparent at the Ku-band used by most airborne satcoms, but opaque at lower frequencies used by fighter and missile radars. Again, that capability mimics the F-22 and F-35.
The aircraft was designed so the wings can be folded for storage in hangars or aircraft carrier operations if a naval customer is found. Cassidy, a retired admiral, has talked about a possible Navy role for Predator C since 2002. The Navy was interested in the Predator B\u2019s capabilities, but didn\u2019t want to introduce any new propeller-driven aircraft onto carrier decks. The UAV also comes with a tailhook, suggesting that carrier-related trials are planned. The inner section of the cranked wing is deep, providing structural strength for carrier landings and generous fuel volume while maintaining a dry, folding outer wing. Right now, the U.S. Air Force and Royal Air Force are considered the most likely users.
The Avenger has landing gear from the F-5 aircraft and anti-skid brakes. It uses a laser altimeter and a vertical indicator has been added to the head-up display. At 100 ft. the laser altimeter comes on. If the pilot puts a \u201ccaret\u201d in the middle of the indicator it will keep the aircraft at a proper pitch for the landing and eliminate pilot-induced oscillations caused by the parallax effect between a pilot\u2019s vision from a manned aircraft cockpit and that of the UAV\u2019s onboard visual sensor.
The Avenger made its first flights Apr. 4, 13 and 14 in a test program that is slated to last 2-3 months. With customer funding, in 10-12 months operational aircraft could be rolling out of General Atomics Aeronautical Systems\u2019 new, expanded production facilities in Poway, Calif., that opened four weeks ago, Cassidy says.
Predator A and B production had been occupying the company\u2019s Rancho Bernardo facility, but two factors have left plenty of room for manufacturing the Avenger and what\u2019s being described as a highly modified Predator B-plus design. First, Predator A production is being phased out as more advanced models are fielded. Second, six buildings have been acquired at the new Poway facility with 1.2 million sq. ft. for manufacturing, about three times that at Rancho Bernardo. The research and development facility at Adelanto has also doubled in size. The composite fabrication facility remains in Sabre Springs.
While company officials won\u2019t discuss their investment in the Avenger program, they will say it is about twice what they spent to develop the Predator B, primarily because it took longer.
The piston-engine Predator A (MQ-1) first offered long endurance and a weapons-firing capability. The turboprop Predator B (MQ-9) greatly increased the weapons payload, speed and operational altitude. The Predator C now adds additional speed for quicker response and rapid repositioning for mission flexibility and survivability.
With first flight of the Predator C and plans to start cutting the manned aircraft force structure, opponents are gearing up to object.
In a roundtable for reporters, Marine Corps Gen. James Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, revealed a vision for a new tactical aircraft force structure that includes a high, medium and low cost and performance mix of aircraft wrapped around the F-22 Raptor, F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and armed UAVs like the turboprop-powered Predator B Reaper. However, the Reaper, unlike the manned Raptor and JSF, is not low-observable. In contrast, the Avenger\u2019s signature has been reduced through shaping and elimination of a propeller.
The tactical force structure would be supplemented with F-16Cs, F-15Cs and F-15Es upgraded with active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars that increase radar ranges by 2-3 times and allow detection of small, even stealthy objects including cruise missiles, stealth aircraft and very small ground targets.
Opponents see a threat in the decision by Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Cartwright to include armed UAVs within the fighter force structure. Critics view this as a first, false step driven by economic rather than military considerations that will lead to the substitution of \u201cReapers, and later Predator Cs, for F-35 JSFs,\u201d says a long-time fighter pilot, acquisition official and senior Air Force leader.
However, this does overlook a basic planning element in the JSF program from the start: that the stealthy strike aircraft would be pitted\u2014for competitive reasons in later production lots\u2014against unmanned combat aircraft.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Apr 20, 2009 GA-ASI Successfully Executes First Flight of Predator C Avenger
Next Generation Aircraft in Predator UAS Series Produced on Company Funds to Speed Delivery of New Capabilities to War Fighter
SAN DIEGO \u2013 20 April 2009 \u2013 General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA\u2011ASI), a leading manufacturer of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), tactical reconnaissance radars, and surveillance systems, today announced the introduction of its next generation aircraft in the extremely successful Predator� UAS series, Predator C Avenger�. The first flight of the new multi-mission jet-powered Avenger occurred on April 4 at the company\u2019s Gray Butte Flight Operations Facility in Palmdale, Calif., with the aircraft landing without any discrepancies and ready to fly again once refueled. Subsequent flights were successfully executed on April 13 and April 14, with the test program now ongoing.
\u201cFollowing in the footsteps of the proven Predator B, Avenger adds yet another flexible and multi-mission capability to the Predator UAS series and is a testament to GA-ASI\u2019s continuing practice of developing and delivering proven unmanned aircraft to military customers,\u201d said Thomas J. Cassidy, Jr., president, Aircraft Systems Group, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. \u201cOur company has been uniquely successful in forecasting military needs and delivering extremely capable unmanned aircraft that are ready for near-term military use. Just as the first two Predator B aircraft were developed and flown on IRAD [Internal Research and Development] funding because we saw the need for this type of capability, likewise, Avenger was developed through foresight and significant company investment provided by our Chairman and CEO, Neal Blue.\u201d
Avenger was designed and developed with the intent of making a UAS that was more survivable in higher threat environments and to provide the U.S. Air Force and other potential customers with an expanded quick-response armed reconnaissance capability. The aircraft will have higher operational and transit speeds than current Predator-series aircraft, resulting in fast response and rapid repositioning for improved mission flexibility and survivability. Wide-area surveillance, armed reconnaissance, border surveillance, time-sensitive strike, and quick response capability missions for use against conventional and asymmetric threats (e.g., terrorists, pirates) are among its key missions.
Avenger\u2019s new capabilities complement the operational flexibility of Predator/MQ-1 Predators and Predator B/MQ-9 Reapers by expanding the operational envelope of this series of aircraft. Predator/MQ-1 provides the high-flight endurance levels required on certain missions; Predator B/MQ-9 features a large weapons carriage capability, coupled with long endurance, as well as maritime surveillance; and now Predator C rounds out the flexibility of these aircraft systems with quick response armed reconnaissance.
Avenger presents a no risk/low-cost procurement option as it employs the same proven materials and avionics as Predator B and is controlled from and fully compatible with the standard GA-ASI Ground Control Stations (GCSs) used to control all Predator-series aircraft currently in use by U.S. and allied military services. The aircraft is slightly larger than PredatorB, incorporates a certified pure jet powerplant (Pratt & Whitney\u2019s PW545B), and can carry the same mix of weapons as Predator B.
With a 41-foot long fuselage and 66-foot wingspan, Avenger is capable of flying at over 400 KTAS and can operate up to 60,000 feet. Aircraft sensors will include a GA-ASI Lynx� Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and various Electro-optical/Infrared (EO/IR) camera systems. A system based on Lockheed Martin\u2019s F-35 FLIR is currently being evaluated, as well as an in-house full-motion video sensor. A pure reconnaissance version will be capable of carrying a wide-area surveillance system internally for special mission applications.
\u201cAvenger further defines the level of technical innovation that American companies are capable of producing, and this kind of company initiative saves the government extensive amounts of money and development time while providing the war fighter with new combat systems quickly,\u201d noted Cassidy. \u201cThis aircraft was designed, developed, and successfully flown while concurrently developing Sky Warrior� for the U.S. Army, adding new capabilities to MQ-9 Reaper for the Air Force, and satisfying high-volume/accelerating orders forPredator-series UAS.\u201d
Stealthy F-35 Sensor To Fly On Avenger UAV
By Graham Warwick
Sep 18, 2009
Lockheed Martin is working with General Atomics Aeronautical Systems to fly a version of the F-35\u2019s stealthy electro-optical targeting system (EOTS) on the Avenger unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in the latter part of 2010.
Mounted behind faceted sapphire windows, the mid-wave infrared sensor would reduce the swept-wing, jet-powered UAV\u2019s radar signature compared with the conventional external electro-optic/infrared (EO/IR) turret on a Predator or Reaper.
General Atomics is developing the Avenger as its candidate for the U.S. Air Force\u2019s pending MQ-X requirement for a follow-on to the company\u2019s MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper UAVs, to enter service sometime after 2015.
Lockheed Martin calls its UAV version of the EOTS the Advanced Low-observable Embedded Reconnaissance Targeting (ALERT) system. Integration of the sensor onto the Avenger is being funded internally by the companies.
Trying to make a conventional EO/IR sensor stealthy by mounting it behind a window reduces its performance, the company argues, while the F-35 EOTS has been designed to mount the optics close to the window to maximize aperture.
Lockheed Martin says it is working on the electrical and mechanical interfaces between the ALERT and the Avenger, and has performed a fit check with the UAV\u2019s outer mold line, but aircraft modifications have not yet begun.
The F-35 EOTS, which provides both air-to-ground infrared imaging and air-to-air infrared search-and-target, is in flight-testing on the company\u2019s Sabreliner test bed and will fly on the first mission-system test F-35 late this year.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 03, 2010 GA-ASI Introduces Sea Avenger UAS for UCLASS Carrier Operations
Carrier-based Predator C Derivative Offers Navy Low-risk Strike & Surveillance Solution
NAVY LEAGUE SEA AIR SPACE, WASHINGTON \u2013 3 May 2010 \u2013 General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA\u2011ASI), a leading manufacturer of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), tactical reconnaissance radars, and surveillance systems, today introduced Sea AvengerTM, a carrier-based derivative of its Predator� C Avenger� UAS, to fulfill the U.S. Navy\u2019s need for an unmanned carrier-launched airborne surveillance and strike (UCLASS) system. The company formally proposed Sea Avenger to the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) via a Request for Information (RFI) submitted on 30 April.
\u201cSea Avenger fulfills the Navy\u2019s need for a carrier-based unmanned aircraft system that offers long-endurance, proven ISR [Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance] and precision-strike capabilities,\u201d said Frank Pace, president, Aircraft Systems Group, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.
Like Predator C Avenger, Sea Avenger presents a low-risk, high technology ready procurement option as it leverages more than 18 years of Predator-series UAS development, manufacturing, and system support, along with one million flight hours of operational experience. In addition, many Predator-series elements, components, and subsystems already provide mature, proven, and affordable mission capabilities desired by the Navy for a UCLASS system.
Anticipating a future requirement for a carrier-based UAS, GA-ASI designed specific features into its Predator C Avenger to facilitate subsequent development of an aircraft uniquely suitable for carrier operations that would also integrate seamlessly into the carrier air wing. These include a highly fuel-efficient engine and inlet design, retractable electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor, internal weapons bay, and folding wings. The aircraft\u2019s structure was also designed with the flexibility to accommodate carrier suitable landing gear, tail hook, drag devices, and other provisions for carrier operations.
\u201cSea Avenger is an affordable and transformational technology that will provide commanders with enhanced situational awareness and time-sensitive strike,\u201d noted J. Neal Blue, chairman and CEO, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.
Sea Avenger is based upon its predecessor, Predator C Avenger. Predator C is designed to perform high-speed, multi-mission persistent ISR and precision, time-sensitive strike missions over land or sea. The current configuration features a 44-foot long fuselage and 66-foot wingspan, is capable of flying at 400 KTAS for 20 hours, and can operate up to 50,000 feet. Avenger incorporates a pure jet power plant and carries a Lynx� Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), various EO/IR camera systems, and up to 3,000 pounds of internal ordnance, as well as other sensors. The aircraft is based on an open, modular architecture that provides \u201cplug and play\u201d system configuration, configuration management, and significant flexibility for rapid, controlled change, adaptation, and growth. Developed on company funds for near-term military use, Predator C Avenger is successfully continuing through its planned test program, with a second aircraft currently under development and expected to be completed by the end of the year.
The U.S. Navy has experience operating both Predator and Predator B aircraft manufactured by GA-ASI.

India's TCS reports 11pc rise in profits
India's biggest software outsourcing firm Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) yesterday reported record quarterly earnings, buoyed by a growing demand for its banking and financial services. Mumbai-based TCS posted a 11.2 per cent rise in net profit to 81.31 billion rupees ($1.20bn) for the quarter that ended June 30, up from 73.40bn a year earlier, the company said in a statement. The earnings of TCS are seen as an indicator of the overall performance of the IT services sector.
"Our margins this quarter fully reflect the annual increments that we effected across the board in April," TCS chief financial officer V. Ramakrishnan said in a statement. TCS was at the forefront of India becoming a back office to the world as companies -- largely in developed nations -- subcontracted work, taking advantage of the country's skilled English-speaking workforce. "We continue to execute well and delivered some significant transformation programs to our customers during the quarter.
Our platforms for the financial industry are doing well," said N. Ganapathy Subramaniam, the chief operating officer. The company also said it had added more women to its workforce, who now make up 36.1pc of it. In November 2018, TCS was cleared of anti-American bias by a Californian court after former staffers, mostly Americans, had accused the IT giant of predominantly hiring Indians and firing locals.
TCS gets more than 80pc of its revenues from Western markets including the United States and Europe. India's $150bn IT sector has long been one of its flagship industries and despite multiple challenges, they continue to boast healthy balance sheets. Shares of TCS fell almost two percent on the Bombay Stock Exchange sensex index as the markets had closed before the results were announced. TCS rival Infosys is expected to announce its quarterly earnings on Friday
