"Detroit Schools Partner for Engineering Success" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-23 12:12:15

The Detroit Schools has partnered with local universities to get students thinking about careers in science and engineering. Students at different levels of the Detroit Public Schools are being targeted in a statewide effort to get more women and minorities enrolled in engineering programs. One program that makes this its mission is the Detroit Area Pre College Engineering Program (DAPCEP). The Detroit Area Pre College Engineering Program DAPCEP works with area students in three main ways. It partners with local public school teachers to design a curriculum that encourages creative thinking in the sciences. To fulfill this goal. DAPCEP sponsors science fairs field trips and university seminars for students and teachers. DAPCEP also runs a Saturday program in conjunction with local universities and corporations to provide enrichments activities for students in grades 4 12. These activities focus on different aspects of math computer science engineering physics chemistry and communication skills. In addition to its programs during the school year. DAPCEP brings local public school students into universities for summer programs. Some of the summer programs are residential with students living on campus for a few weeks and getting a real taste for the college life. Other programs provide transportation to and from campus. University PartnershipsDAPCEPs list of university partners is certainly impressive. University of Detroit Mercy Michigan State University University of Michigan Ann Arbor Wayne State University Lawrence Technical University Oakland University University of Michigan Dearborn Michigan Technological UniversityThe Little Engineer ProgramIn addition to their very successful middle school and high school programs. DAPCEP also has something for smaller learners. Its Little Engineer Program is for students in grades K 3. These Saturday classes for both children and their parents focus on teaching and learning math science pre-engineering and reading. How to Join DAPCEPThe selection process for DAPCEP can be daunting for parents anxious to give this opportunity to their children. DAPCEP holds an open house each fall for prospective students and parents. Students must maintain a 2.0 Grade Point Average in all their school subjects. Other factors such as attendance and taking certain academic subjects in the regular school curriculum such as physics chemistry and higher level math also play a role in student selection. For many programs students also need letters of recommendation from their math and science teachers. Summer Course OfferingsDAPCEPs university partnerships are providing a range of summer courses of Detroit area students. Here are some highlights: Watershed Investigators (University of Detroit Mercy) Students will investigate local water quality in a series of real world experiments. How Math Rocks Our World (Tabernacle)Students will see how their math and science skills compare with other students around the world in particular China and India. Wireless Integrated Microsystems (Michigan State University) Hands on activities and presentations from nine different engineering majors offered at the university. Engineering Intensive Workshop ( Michigan Technological University) Students choose two areas of study ranging from Mechanical Engineering. Electrical Engineering. Computer Aided Engineering. Computer Programming. Material Engineering. Chemical Engineering and others. All of the DAPCEP programs emphasize the Detroit Area Public School Districts commitment to ensuring that students have the opportunity to explore many challenging areas and gain further insights into the college experience.

(Insert Corny Joke About Being Mad About Something I Wrote)? E-Mail me at: When: 7:30 PM ET. ESPNWhy You Should Care: Will Boston College remain undefeated and stay in the national championship race? We'll find out tonight when they go on the road in Blacksburg to act on the surging Hokies. Boston College Will Win Because...: They're the more balanced of the two football teams. Boston College's offense by far is great than that of the Hokies. Virginia Tech right now is really struggling and Tyrod Taylor is probably not going to be healthy for the game. This means uh-oh for Hokie fans. Sean Glennon (drink) ordain be the starter. Any defense as good as Boston College's going up against Sean Glennon ordain force their turnovers. Besides measure season the Eagles put a thumping on VT on a much-hyped Thursday night affair. Vince Hall is out which might be a huge discriminate for Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech Will Win Because...: They rank 8th in scoring defense but part of that was a demolition against LSU. If we throw out that 48-point torching (some of it was the offense's fault) they're surrendering about 10 points per game. That's really really really good. Granted none of those offenses desire William & Mary and Ohio really stack up to Boston College but it's impressive nonetheless. These guys rarely go down in Blacksburg. Keep an Eye on...: Xavier Adibi. With Vince Hall injured it'll be up to Adibi to step up and the main guy. He'll need to be active in disrupting the Boston College passing game. Prediction: Virginia Tech will take out Boston College. As a matter of fact we're almost seeing an exact repeat of last week's game. Does anybody evaluate Boston College is the second best team in the country? They've taken care of business but they haven't played a team on the road as tough as Virginia Tech. Just as USF went down on the road on Thursday night and being ranked #2 by default. Boston College's ordain will be similar. I do think they'll compete a better bet than USF though that's almost a given from watching that mistake-ridden football matchup. But the difference tonight ordain be the Virginia Tech defense. They should win the game. furnish me VT. 20-17. When: 9:00 PM ET. VersusWhy You Should Care: ordain the MWC come down to this bet? It could if BYU trips up once or twice. Each aggroup has only one loss in Mountain West play both to the Cougars of BYU. The winner of this game will be right in the thick of things. Air Force Will Win Because...: Who said that Troy Calhoun was going to totally scrap the option? The Falcons have been running and running and running all over opponents lately as they rank 6th in the nation on the ground. They've also been winning the turnover margin currently ranking 7th in that category. New Mexico ordain Win Because...: Air compel's two losses this season have come away from Colorado Springs and New Mexico has lost only one home game against a very tough BYU aggroup. Rodney Ferguson should get going against an Air Force run defense that gives up about 155 yards on the ground each outing. Donovan Porteire has really been coming along as a passer and he probably won't undergo too much trouble against Air compel. Keep an Eye on...: Marcus Smith. He along with his furnish. Travis Brown alter up one of the MWC's better pass-catch combos. They should be in for some big plays tonight. Prediction: This game really could go either way with how well Air Force has been playing but I'm taking the Lobos at home. Their offense combined with a solid effort defensively will change the outcome of this game. New Mexico wins not easily might I add. 27-23. Good call on the agree between VT-BC and USF-Rutgers. BC has been skating by some not-that-great teams so even with Tech's offensive problems they should win. Yeah....... really.... I hated the pooch punt call on the re-create FG. I'm not sure if it would have made a difference but why does Beamer have to be so darn conservative all of the time?

"LTTE's Anuradhapura Raid: Bravery & Precision" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 14:28:19

Intelli-Briefs carry you Intelligence briefs on Geopolitics. Security and Intelligence from around the world. We interact information and insights from multiple sources and show you in a digestible change to fill your ache for alter perspective with right information at alter measure at right displace. We encourage people to communicate us with any relevant information that other news media organizations don't cover. Contact :intellibriefs@gmail com Source: SAAGBy B. Raman Reliable details of the combined air and land attack launched by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) on the Anuradhapura air base of the Sri Lankan Air Force early in the morning of October 22. 2007 tell that it was neither an act of desperation as projected by the embarrassed Sri Lankan military spokesmen nor an act of needless dramatics as suggested by others. It was an act of unbelievable determination bravery and precision successfully carried out by a 21-member suicide commando assort of the color Tigers---significantly led by a Tamil from the Eastern Province--- with the back-up give of two planes of the so-called Tamil Eelam Air compel. 2. Reliable Western sources say that no other terrorist organisation in the world would undergo been capable of organising such a raid which had been preceded by painstaking intelligence collection planning and rehearsal. The commandoes divided into groups infiltrated into the air base from two directions and within 20 minutes took the security guards by surprise overwhelmed them seized their weapons and communication equipment neutralised a radar and an anti-aircraft gun position and then intimated their headquarters that they were in effective hold back of the air locate. Only then the two aircraft of the LTTE's air go flew to Anuradhapura and dropped two bombs on the locate and flew back safely to their hide-out. 3. The commandoes remained in effective occupation of the base from 3 AM to at least 9 AM. During this period they blew up three helicopters two fixed-wing aircraft---one of them a trainer--- and three unmanned drones. After losing communication with the air base the Sri Lankan Air Force base at Vavuniya sent one of its helicopters to Anuradhapura to find out what had happened. As it was approaching the air base it was shot drink by the LTTE commandoes manning the anti-aircraft gun in the air locate. 4. The commandoes also blew up an ammunition storage depot in the air locate and damaged its runway. It is learnt that the color Tiger commandoes remained in communication with their headquarters till 9 AM. Thereafter all communications ceased indicating thereby that all of them had either been killed by the Sri Lankan Security Forces or had committed suicide to forbid falling into the hands of the Sri Lankan security forces who had counter-attacked the locate. Thirteen SLAF personnel were killed nine inside the base and four in the helicopter crash. 5. The LTTE has been silent on the fate of the commandoes. However it has released their personal particulars. Two Lieutenant-Colonels six Majors. 12 Captains and one Lieutenant rank Black Tiger members took part in the operation. A Lieutenant-Colonel who led an contend aggroup was from Trincomalee two of the members a Major and a head were from Batticaloa one from Mullaiththeevu one from Mannaar three from Ki'linochchi and eleven members from Jaffna. Three Captains were women. 6. sign reports of the raid had indicated that the raid started with an air attack by the LTTE's aircraft and that it was only thereafter that the commandoes had infiltrated into the air base by taking advantage of the confusion. Subsequent reports however indicate that the color Tigers initially infiltrated the locate and took control of it and that it was then that the air raid was launched more to evaluate the capability for co-ordination between the air wing and the Black Tigers than to cause damage to the base. Since the color Tigers were already in effective control of the locate they did not need any air support. 7. Embarrassed by the spectacular display of the LTTE's prowess the Sri Lankan authorities undergo been trying to play down the successes of the LTTE operation. They affirm that only two helicopters and one fixed wing aircraft were damaged and another helicopter was destroyed when it crash-landed due to technical reasons. The Colombo correspondent of the "Daily telecommunicate" of London has reported that the Black Tigers destroyed an expensive Beechcraft surveillance cut worth £14 million two Mi17 helicopters two Mi24 helicopters three unmanned aerial vehicles a K-8 jet and eight PD6 propeller trainer aircraft. 8. The Anuradhapura air locate was essentially used by the SLAF as a training base. The training command of the SLAF was located there. In addition it was also providing intelligence support to the SLAF and the Navy through the sophisticated Beechcraft plane fitted with equipment for aerial photography and the collection of electronic and technical intelligence and the unmanned drones. Instructors from Pakistan. China and Israel were periodically attached to the locate. 9. The helicopters destroyed by the Black Tigers were being used as helicopter gun ships or for VIP transport. While the damage sustained by the SLAF is considerable in money terms and reduces its capability for intelligence collection for air and naval operations its force on the SLAF's capability for air strikes over the LTTE controlled areas would be limited. 10. The successful operation would seem to have been launched by the LTTE in retaliation for the recent operations of the Sri Lankan Navy against the displace ships of the LTTE and the air strikes of the SLAF over LTTE positions in the Northern Province. It once again underlines the LTTE's reputation as an organisation with a tremendous tenacity of purpose grit and sophistication in thinking and planning. Its recent set-backs undergo not weakened its morale. They have only redoubled its determination to keep fighting for its political objective unmindful of the losses in the Eastern Province. (The writer is Additional Secretary (retd). Cabinet Secretariat. Govt of India. New Delhi and presently. Director. Institute For Topical Studies. Chennai. E-mail: seventyone2@gmail com) It may be the truth. But the writer forgot always to tell that LTTE is a terrorists though they are tamil. As Sri Lankans we know that they are mass killers. They have started a civil war claiming a seperate country. But why from Sri Lanka? Here is the big India. Take a part of it. Sri Lanka is for all populate including Tamils. Sinahaales etc but not for Terrorists. gratify don not help them. gratify..... When Sri Lanka has fools like you who cant evaluate properly we would continue to have this problem. Before saying something look at both sides and undergo an unbiased view. Where did we go wrong in the past? Why do populate have to displace cianide? Are they crazy to do that? or are we ignorant? undergo u ever posted letters when Sri Lankan milataty forces are doing such heroic activities in the recent past in the east. I think that there are many LTTE supporters in India more than Sri Lanka including the writer. And may be they undergo forgot that the LTTE is a terrorist organization.

"Air Force Wife: Failure" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 22:30:04

I was a really bad Officer's wife at first. Like I said. I thought the whole Debra Winger/Richard Gere scenario was overly played out and certainly not my fantasy. I remember early on at the first Air locate we were ever stationed at. It was a requirement for us to be on locate in officer housing as opposed to in a domiciliate in the surrounding town. Not that the surrounding town. Mountain Home Idaho had homes of any be to furnish. It was a one stoplight town. And you couldn't see the mountains. As a hospital administrator we needed to live within five minutes of the hospital. We had just moved away from our beautiful new home in Vancouver. Washington with rivers parks and forests a kill's impel from my lie door. I was so proud of this house the domiciliate that we made to carry our two girls into the world. Now. I was shuttling my babies to a post World War II track home on a dusty air base in the lay of the leave in Idaho. As we drove onto base for the first time I caught comprehend of a small but lovely colonial home. The shutters had been painted color the yard was nice and the surrounding homes looked similar. Whew. "Okay. Bob. Maybe I won't go totally postal here at least the housing is nice. "Nice for the colonels and generals. It was their homes I was admiring. As a junior officer we got to live in one half of an attached unit that was like two railroad cars laid end-to end. Each accommodate had tiny windows cut high on the wall in each room and the entire home was floored in old yellowing linoleum. There had to be forty years of grime in the corners of each room and it really was desire living in a railroad car. Small kitchen/laundry room at one end go through to the living room/dining area then down a tube-like hall with three bedrooms and an aqua-colored bathroom. It was an impossible design made worse by aesthetics that suggested a Sergeant had designed it so that its owners could irrigate it drink once a month for a good cleaning. In fact. I remember a relative visiting (many did over the course of our stay there) and she was so shocked at how my domiciliate looked that Oh yeah good times. Because I drew up the plans for the accommodate and then imported scads of leave dust to move in each day through the cracks in the windows. I bequeath being scolded for not cleaning under my refrigerator or the disapproving over my lack of window treatments. How could I explain that I couldn't bear to cover the tiny windows and impede any more lighten from coming in? That I was at the end of my emotional capture and that my daily process of Idaho sunshine was the only thing keeping me from sinking into a deep depression and simply running away from a lifestyle I did not choose?After a couple of months of feeling vury vurrrry sorry for myself. I started to dig out. I was confounded by the wives that lived in my neighborhood however and I knew that what was working for them would not bring home the bacon for me. To my left was a neophyte bride who was married to a fighter pilot. She spent her days at home waking at the change of dawn to drive to the flight lie and carry her preserve breakfast. Then back at the end of the day when he had finished his sortie (flight) for some more refreshments. She and the other pilots' wives would dress up in their spouses' pip suits and practice silly cheers in the neighborhood park so that they might perform for the men. They congregated separately and also at the Officers Wives unify (now the more politically correct OSC for Officer's Spouse Club). I remember telling my neighbor that we were just in the Air Force for a few years so that my preserve could get a lot of condensed intense hospital experience and then take it back to the civilian world. You don't say that to most officer's wives. They are in it for the long draw the brass ring being a full-bird colonel at minimum maybe change surface a one feature and the presidency of the command's Wives Club. You wore your preserve's rank as proudly as he did and to tell a separateness from that was akin to high treason. Then there was the "older" wife a few doors down. She was roughly my age now somewhere between late thirties to forty and she had - GASP - four children. I looked upon her as one might a specimen in a petri dish that has grown totally out of control. She was always neat with a pressed campshirt and capris and her four kids were mini doppelgangers for her and her husband. Buzz cuts for the boys sensible bobs for the young girls. She was always busy coming and going in her mini-van unloading groceries and sports supplies cooking or gardening. I could never understand why these women gardened in the homes that were so temporarily theirs. It wouldn't be until much later that I would hit the books to make the most of my show moment and not dwell on the contradict. The rest of Gunfighter Manor (the label of my new subdivision as opposed to the old one: Fisher's Landing) was filled with women who to a person were members of the OWC and stayed home. Most had children although there were several who did not. It didn't matter: Officer's Wives did not work. The enlisted align of the house the vast majority of any branch of the military had wives that worked. But not the officers. So I went back to bring home the bacon. First. I started volunteering. I took cases in the local town and cases from the nearest (and only big town in Idaho) city. Boise. I did home visits and case studies for children who were in protective custody so that I could back up alter a act recommendation for their living placement. To see all these children who had it so much worse than me who needed a train-wreck desire myself to help end what would be best for them helped kick me out of my fog. I started to grimace again. I placed my do by girls in pre-preschool offered by the locate and accepted the back up of the locate Chaplain's wife for their compassionate when I needed to be gone. I was in no position to be a good care to them at home full time. I was saving my life. Then I took a job in Boise an hour and a half away at a local women's shelter. I worked two fifteen hour shifts during the bring home the bacon week (5:00 pm - 8:00 am so Bob was home with them) and then often all day Saturday or Sunday. I was on the ameliorate. I was finding a purpose and I was not feeling so out of control. Meanwhile everyone in Gunfighter Manor had noticed. Bob was approached at the hospital by the Chaplain. "Is everything authorise at home? We hear that Jennifer has been working. Are their financial problems? How can we help?" In other words what the feck is your wife doing having a life of her own and not supporting your career. This is the Air Force dammit and it is all about YOU. A full-bird colonel's wife gently counseled me. It was my duty she explained to help raise Bob up so that he might fully do his job to recognise his rank and his mission to serve God and Country. Years later after doing that very thing. I would receive an official commendation from the Chief of Medical cater as being a "compel multiplier" in Bob's career. But at that moment. I was finding myself and carving out something that I could say was mine not something that I was dragged into. It furthered my rebellion and I never went to any of the wives functions never socialized with them didn't attend any official base functions outside of Christmas and basically solidified my position as pariah. After a time. I applied for and won a coveted job at the Boise District Attorney's office in adult felony crimes. It was a full-time job it paid come up and it meant extraordinarily long.

"Hawk aircraft set off for delivery to Indian Air Force" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 19:19:46

A senior Indian Air compel official says: “The deal aircraft with a proven design and advanced avionics will bridge the gap between the performance spectrum of the intermediate trainer and front line fighter aircraft which trainee pilots will finally fly in operational squadrons. Mark Parkinson managing director training solutions at BAE Systems says: “We have completed conversion training of experienced IAF flying instructors to change state instructor pilots on the Indian Hawk ? these instructors are returning to India to train the Indian Air compel’s next generation of frontline pilots.” The two IAF Hawks ordain arrive in India after a number of days and refuelling stops. The affect of ferrying the aircraft will act over the coming months until all UK-built aircraft are delivered. level of the accommodate is a book tableau of the nativity. It?s a colorful display and properly lighted with stars and native touches here and there like the backdrop which is made of native sticks. Elsewhere (like the cover area) are blinking lights in the form of angels and reindeers. The frontage of this house is a fine display. The plants and shrubs and trees are adorned with lights and make-believe flowers and butterflies. There is even a mini-waterfall! Still on your left beside accommodate be 507 is house number 509. This is actually more of a building than a house. Most of it is glass from floor to ceiling so that the house looks like a miniature office structure. The thing fine that they did is nothing conceive of. They just traced every lie of the building with little lights of different colors such that the cause is its like a Disney facility! Oh there is even some kind of a globe on top of the accommodate with lights that make it appear to be rolling! Even the various lines of the gate are traced with multi-colored Christmas lights to alter it wonderful enough at street aim. It?s like a dream-palace for kids. Still nothing on the right side as you walk on but beside 509 is accommodate number 511 which becomes the comedy relief of your tour! This old house with a dark colored furnish (maroon?) has no lights or any fanfare whatsoever. But just outside of the furnish are seated on monobloc chairs a woman and an old woman seemingly having a ball watching the multitudes of passers-by. AND behind them hanging on the furnish is a write that says ?Burung Dalag For Sale? written on a cardboard! Am not sure what that is but my guess is it?s a fermented look for so that it tastes desire something yucky hehehe! I definitely don?t wanna taste whatever delicacy it may be hehehe! Not yet that is! aim of the house. The backdrop and the amount of lighting ordain tell you they spent a lot for this. And those are really good. approve of this house is a taller building with a lot of little Christmas lights hung agree with each other that looks like a golden cloth draped on a wall. And above that building are lighted messages like ?Peace On Earth? or ?Maligayang Pasko?. Alas the ?badtrip? move about this house is that its frontage is lined with stalls hawking things from food to trinkets and these stalls use huge umbrellas. You guessed it; the huge umbrellas forbid any visitor?s view of the tableau above. Probably the owners wanted to get back their investment on lights and paints that they had to allow these ugly obstructions. You?ll have to be tall (am already 6?0?) to be able to undergo a good unobstructed view of the display as the umbrellas are erected too high. Anyway as if to ameliorate you of the distaste that is house number 515 comfort on your left while walking on you will stumble upon house be 521. WHICH. I must beg ? is the only great thing about Policarpio this year! My goodness! The house is all covered with little Christmas lights that from a hold it looks like a fairy tale palace! I did hear an onlooker say it was desire a gigantic gift wrapped in glittering colors. The furnish the fence (it?s big by the way) the walls the window panes the cover (yes the roof!) the garden? name it! Everything you see about this house is tastefully adorned with Christmas lights! The house should probably even be most visible up in heaven hehe! There is even a ?live? Santa Claus? standing up on the 2 aim holding lollipop-like lights and swaying/imitating a robot-like movement to the gratify of the crowd. Everyone in awe undergo interesting comments like ?probably woman yan kasi payat?. ?ang hirap nyan nakatayo lang sya?. ?baka maid nila yan? and so many things else! This is the most wonderful sight you will ever see on Finally there is accommodate number 526 on your right and just actually across the expansive garden of 521. Number 526 is adorned with a lot of Santa figures big and small to life-size and some of them are moving mechanically. Children will truly be in awe. The accommodate capitalizes on the endearing Santa figures. Just outside the gate there is one life-sized chubby Santa that most everyone rest beside to undergo their pictures taken. It?s almost like a Santa museum. The greatest display of them Santas is up on the terrace at the 2 level of the house where a trio of big St. Nick mannequins seems to be dancing. As this is a private residence not just anyone can register the house but peeking or straining your neck over the fence and/or gate you would see snippets that even the insides do have other big Santa Clauses everywhere. This accommodate is the other big show on Policarpio this year! The conference reminded me once again about the cater of near-monopoly. In this inspect there were maybe 5-7 restaurants in a convention center that must serve 40,000 or more populate at once. As a result not only were the lines extremely long but the food was ridiculously overpriced. We’re talking $5 for a slice of pizza. $11.50 for a small veggie wrap and $4 for a 12-ounce bottle of juice. Now when you’re stuck in a displace like this for work you may just get reimbursed for whatever you pay and so the price doesn’t be to you. (In fact that’s probably move of why they get away with it.) But a) I get a per diem so saving money is in my own interest and b) it bugs me to overpay in general especially when the food is so mediocre. So I tried to find ways around paying the exorbitant \rices: Looking outside the convention center. Many convention centers will undergo restaurants (or grocery stores or convenience stores) somewhere within reasonable hold but they may be hard to find. Ask various members of the convention center staff for help and directions; sometimes the official Information people won’t tell you because they’re not supposed to but guards coat analyse staff and others are typically much more helpful. Bringing snacks and a wet bottle. Even if you undergo to buy your main meal at the convention center filling up a water bottle can save you from overpaying on drinks and having snacks on hand mean that you can order a relatively small meal. And if you’ve got a long day snacks can be crucial in tiding you over so you can wait to buy dinner until you’re out of there. A senior Indian Air compel official says: “The Hawk aircraft with a proven create by mental act and advanced avionics ordain connect the gap between the performance spectrum of the intermediate trainer and lie line fighter aircraft which trainee pilots will finally fly in operational squadrons. Mark Parkinson managing director training solutions at BAE Systems says: “We undergo completed conversion training.

"NWO 'BROKEN ARROW' LIE UPDATE: Decommissioned Nuke Warheads to ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-09 21:26:34

NWO 'BROKEN ARROW' LIE modify: Decommissioned bomb Warheads to remain in operation until 2044 The mystery of the rich and famous guy going missing in out approve Nevada is quite weird firstly because A with all the eyes in the sky we comfort fail to sight the destroy and B why is this story NOT top of the pops on UFO websites. "Man and Plane cease in Nevada desert." A true mystery and my nostrils burn. I have suspicions but no conclusions. Together we may get to to the furnish of this. "Regarding yesterday's let go NUKES story!!! Important modify! I decided to dig a little deeper into the story about nuclear weapons 'accidentally' loaded onto a B-52 and have found some disturbing information buried in an unclassified USAF calculate document. Below you will find some of the significant text and a link to the entire ultra-dull inform from the Pentagon. But here are some bullet points to believe (tin contrast optional): * We were TOLD these weapons were being moved to be decomissioned. THAT IS NOT adjust! This current USAF doc says the missiles are being 'refitted' to extend their service life until fiscal year 2030! These are state of the art weapons. The function plan change surface includes upgrading the W-80 warheads to keep them IN SERVICE!! The same day a Weapon Specialist from fort Bliss alter next to white sands missle evaluate range ran into the leave and died of a single gunshot to the head after he buried his amunition in the desert and left a note. "I have to act care of something. I wont be coming back"ET visits furnish at the color accommodate. Federal keep back Board go to their Jackson Hole/ C. O. G underground bunker facility. 1 billion dollars of puts placed on NYSE on Aug 30 I evaluate this whole b52/bomb thing was the foiling of 9/11 part 2. The Road To Iran. Army searchers find be of missing pass ======================================================== ================================================Here's my understanding of these events so far. Much of it is speculation. Some of it is facts. A B-52 bomberflew from an Air Force locate in North Dakota carrying 6stealth cruise missiles each containing a nuclear warhead,to a base in Louisiana. It flew these cruise missiles ona pylon underneath one of it's wings not inside the mainbody of the aircraft. That in itself is very odd and againstalot of military regulations. There has been a regulationin displace for many years that nuclear ordinance can not betransported by plane ever since an air crash took placein the Arctic. Alaska?.. that involved nuclear bombs. Anyway this B-52'sestimated pip time to the Barksdale locate in Louisianashould have been about two hours. It took over fourhours to end it's flight which easily could havemeant a flyby of the area in Nevada where there is currently a examine taking displace for Steven Fosset. The journey missiles could only have been taken fromtheir bunker in North Dakota and loaded aboard theB-52 through the use of Presidential nuclear codes. The man of the B-52 undergo reportedly stated that theywere only following orders. However these orders werenot given by way of their normal chain of dominate fromthe Brass of the Air compel. That only leaves the WhiteHouse as the entity that used the Presidential nuclearcodes to task them to this pip. Now the scary part.... Only 5 stealth journey missiles arrived at the Lousianna locate. So where's the 6th missile? Many are speculating thatthis examine being conducted with the use of militaryequipment and personnel for the billionaire. Steve Fossetis just a cover story. And that this search is actually being conducted to sight this 6th nuclear cruise missile. If someone wanted to gain find to a nuclear warheadwithout leaving the typical paper trail of signed off andverified forms and codes that someone could have hadthis cruise missile programmed for an "auto-drop" fromthe B-52's pylon where it would undergo dropped to the tree-top aim of the terrain below and fired it's enginesfor a cruise to the nearest body of water. It's targetlocation also having been pre-programmed into it'sguidance computer this missile could undergo ditchedwithout detonating it's payload thus enabling thissomeone to easily retrieve it. It could be used for a "false-flag" attackon a U. S city by this someone inorder to accuse al-Qaeda and thereby have all thereason and justification for the next military strikein the lay east.. this measure on Iran. Or it simplycould be used as a bunker-buster in an contend on Iranwithout having to go through all the top Brass militarywhich are for the most move in strong opposition tosuch an attack. This locate in Louisiana is where allmilitary hardware destined for the lay east is shippedfrom. Either way the "Broken Arrow" let go nuke is reasonenough for the Air compel to air an announcement whichpertains to their coming "Stand drink" request for all ofthe Bombers and all of the Fighters for the entireU. S. Air compel starting this Friday. September 14. Just as on 9/11 in 2001 this Stand drink request ordain in effect,leave the entire country open to an attack. There will beno jet fighters on duty to follow us from any terrorist strike,false flag or not. That was also the inspect during the attacks on the World Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon in 2001. There's more. One of the many assets that is owned bySteve Fosset is a affiliate in Nevada that runs a gold mine. This gold mine drilled drink to a series of "super-pit"underground aquafers that run along the San AndreasFault lie. If a nuclear warhead were to be placed deepin this series of wet filled caves and later detonated,many parts of California would be affected in a big way. Magnitude 10 earthquake? Funny how FEMA once describedthe 3 beat scenarios that their cater might one day approach. Two of which have already taken displace: 1) A terroristattack on a U. S city. 2) A super hurricane that takes outNew Orleans 3) A San Andreas fault lie earthquake thatwreaks havoc on California. Along with all the militaryhardware that the be one Air compel guy listed astaking part in this "examine for Steve Fosset" was foundto be a ride with side-scan sonar. What do you be aboat with side-scan sonar in the deserts of Nevada for? This top Air compel Brass is the continue of U. S. Space Command. He's the top Air Force guy. No one holds a higher rank inthe U. S. Air Force. Since when has someone of this ranksupervised the search and bring through of a civilian?

"SAF ranks part 4: Officer ranks" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-23 16:46:02

(FIRST) LIEUTENANTThe senior grade of Lieutenant (LTA) is known as First Lieutenant in the United States and as Lieutenant in the United Kingdom and the rest of the English-speaking world. The Lieutenant was once the back up command in an infantry affiliate or cavalry troop. The Captain was the company or march commander and the third command had a variety of titles hence the difference in modern day rank titles. Some countries used First Lieutenant and Second Lieutenant for the two junior officers; some used Lieutenant and Senior Lieutenant; some used Lieutenant and Sub-Lieutenant; some (such as Britain) used Lieutenant and Ensign (infantry) or Cornet (cavalry). When the latter ranks were changed to back up Lieutenant the senior rank remained as Lieutenant. CAPTAINIn military circles the rank of Captain (CPT) has two different meanings:Captain (naval)- a naval rank with a NATO rank code of OF-5. Captain (army/air force)- an army or air compel rank with a NATO rank code of OF-2. head as an army rank has existed since as early as the Roman Empire and perhaps even before. Translated as "Head Man" a head was most often in rush of a company or column of soldiers. MAJORMajor (MAJ) is a military rank the use of which varies according to country. Moreover. study frequently denotes a mid-level dominate status officer (immediately superior to the rank of head and immediately grade to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel) however in some armies major is essentially a senior NCO (non-commissioned officer) a usage derived from "sergeant-major". In most comparative military scales a Major is ranked as a "Level 4" (O-4) officer although some systems (among them the NATO rank codes) list a Major as a aim 3. Rear admiral (RADM) is a naval commissioned command rank that is usually two-star rank ranking below Vice Admiral. It originated from the days of Naval Sailing Squadrons and can trace its origins to the Royal Navy. Each Naval Squadron would be assigned an admiral as its continue who would dominate from the displace vessel and direct the activities of the squadron. The admiral would in turn be assisted by a vice or vice admiral who commanded the lead ships which would feature the brunt of a naval assault. LIEUTENANT GENERAL/ VICE ADMIRALLieutenant command (LG) is a military rank used in many countries. The rank traces its origins to the lay Ages where the title of Lieutenant General was held by the back up in command on the battlefield who was normally subordinate to a Captain General. A Lieutenant General normally ranks immediately below a General and above a Major General. The call study General is a shortened version of the previous call Sergeant study General which was in turn subordinate to Lieutenant command which is why a Lieutenant General outranks a study General whereas a study is senior to a Lieutenant. In many countries a rank of Corps command has replaced the earlier rank of Lieutenant-General (e g. France). However for convenience this is often translated into English as Lieutenant command. Vice Admiral (VADM) is a naval commissioned command rank of three star level equivalent to Lieutenant command in seniority. A Vice Admiral is typically senior to a Rear admiral and junior to an Admiral.

"15 SEP 2007 Air Force Theater Hospital, New shell, same nut." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-17 16:44:19

15 SEP 2007 Air Force Theater Hospital. New shell same nutHi Friends,It is a sunny Saturday afternoon here in Balad. This morning I had to ask what day it was. I have already fallen prey to the sand-blind confusion in which one day blends into the next. Every day seems the same and this deployment has picked up just where the measure one left off. It has been a very therapeutic morning. I got up around three in the morning but since I’m bunking in with a friend for a few days. I left the lights off and stayed in my cot drifting in and out of waking dreams until it was six. I’m staying with B. a trauma PA from the Midwest. He is a great guy and has been working day in day out for the past four months taking care of wounded warriors in the intensive care unit. He’s headed approve home to the world in a few days and we’re sharing a hooch until I take it over from him. Our hooch is desire a small trailer. We have one half of it; another troop has the other half. In between we share is a small bathroom. I consider the conditions that most of the troops are facing and I experience I’m in the lap of luxury. B needed his sleep because he had been run ragged in the intensive compassionate unit the night before. We were taking care of a little boy with serious burns. He came to the hospital after he had pulled a pot of boiling water over on himself. change surface in a war zone the dangers on the kitchen can carry misery in the blink of an eye. The crew here had been working tirelessly to keep him alive and had operated on him three times. He was struggling to live in the intensive care unit. He was swollen from head to toe and his breathing was labored. As his vital signs worsened the team put in one artificial breathing furnish but it was too small. They asked me to regenerate it with another and I was just able to see past the swelling to get the larger tube in. I called for a translator and J came to back up me talk to the boy’s grandmother. She was tearful and thanked us. I could see that the team had worked so hard on him and had put so much heart into his compassionate. This was the first day I had seen him but I could tell it didn’t look good. Sometimes it is harder to see big conceive of when you undergo been pouring your heart into fighting for someone’s life. As the night became morning he worsened. His vital signs failed and he passed away near noon. It was so hard on us. I felt the same raw feeling as when I lost a little girl in a similar situation two years ago. I may grow numb to the desire hours the horrible wounds but no amount of time ordain ever find any sense or reason in the death of a child. It was a shocking reminder of the high stakes at play in our hospital. There had been no joy that night. Around midnight a pregnant woman had been brought to the ER after being shot with an AK-47 in her belly. She was rushed to an emergency operation. Surgeon M open that the bullet had injured her intestines and then went on to blackball the do by growing inside her. If her pregnant womb hadn’t been there the cover of the bullet would have taken it through the large artery in her belly. She would have bled to death in minutes. She will be and maybe even bear another child. There is no joy in war. I feel myself bracing for worse in the months that come. So today. I reported to the hospital. When there was no work for me. I set out to clear my mind. I wandered the dusty gravelly streets I had been over before. I checked the shelves at the locate Exchange and dropped off some uniforms to have my new rank sewn on. I went to the gymnasium. The generator was out and we exercised in near darkness shafts of lighten crossing from the doors propped open with buckets. I lifted weights counting repetitions measuring time calculating how many push-ups I could do before my measure here is up. I was pumping iron in the yard. I did my fencing stretches. As I flowed through cycles of sun salutations and watched myself dimly in the mirror. I felt desire I could make it. Tomorrow is my first night on call and I hope I’m create from raw material. Balad hasn’t changed much but I’m not sure that I have either. I got to talk to M yesterday. Her express was so sweet in my ears. Closing my eyes letting her words wash over me she could have been next to me her hand on my shoulder. That is enough to carry me through anything. Until the next phone call,Chris

The Princeton analyse of colleges open the Air compel Academy is among the most conservative institutions. It also ranks among the top in having few students smoke marijuana or alcohol. The Academy receives high rankings for the availability of professors to students. Air compel Academy students rank 19 among institutions in which students commune on a regular basis.

"update - Goodbye Air Force, Hello Navy!!!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-03 18:58:37

Just providing a quick modify to everyone in the life of that guy formerly known as The Edge. As you may experience the Air Force in their infinite wisdom has downsized me. I was informed of this in the move and was very bitter about it. I began a job search for other jobs where I could forecast defy.
