Lockheed cites good reports on night flights of F-35 helmet

to display all the information F-35 pilots need to fly the plane.

The question was whether the helmet system would allow pilots to see well enough at night to carry out precision tasks such as refueling or landing on a ship, Burbage told Reuters before an event at the Fisher Institute for Air and Space Strategic Studies in Herzliya.

The helmet is an ambitious effort since it will integrate data from all of the F-35's sensors and cameras, allowing pilots to essentially see through the plane's floor and all around it. It must update the data constantly even when the plane travels at supersonic speeds and carries out complex maneuvers.

"We're making great progress on the helmet," Burbage told Reuters, noting that it was in use by F-35 test pilots and those being trained by the U.S. military.

He said two tests dedicated to studying the helmet's performance at night were taking place at Naval Air Station Patuxent River and initial reports were "quite good."

The Pentagon's incoming F-35 program director, Major General Christopher Bogdan, last month cited continuing issues with the helmet, overall software development for the plane, and an automated logistics and spare parts system, but he said tension between the company and the U.S. government posed a greater threat to the program.

Lockheed is developing three variants of the single-seat, single-engine F-35 fighter for the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps. Eight international partners are helping to pay for its development including Britain, Canada, Australia, Norway, Turkey, Denmark, Italy and the Netherlands.

Israel and Japan have also placed orders for the plane.

Yossi Ackerman, president and chief executive of Elbit, declined to comment except to cite what he called "dramatic progress" on the helmet.

No comment was immediately available from the Pentagon's F-35 program office.

Burbage said the company had logged almost 5,000 flights using the primary helmet, and it would be used by the U.S. Marine Corps when they start flying the new fighter in 2015, a deadline Bogdan had called into question last month.

He said until it received full approval from the Pentagon for the primary helmet, the company was continuing to fund work on a less ambitious, alternate helmet being developed by BAE Systems , which uses goggles.

"No one really wants to use goggles in a fifth-generation airplane. It affects your ejection envelopes and everything else. We are trying to get away from the goggles," he said.

He said the primary issue now facing the Rockwell-Elbit helmet was whether pilots could see well enough to refuel the plane from a dark refueling aircraft and land the F-35B variant, which lands like a helicopter, on a dark ship at night.

Burbage said the night flights under way now would help answer that question. He said there had also been concerns about a lag in getting sensor data to the helmet, but that was not an issue anymore.

Stock markets to close Monday, possibly Tuesday

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stock and options markets will be closed on Monday, and possibly Tuesday, as regulators, exchanges and brokers worried about the integrity of markets in the face of Hurricane Sandy.

Market participants and regulators decided to shut the market because the storm will make it difficult to ensure the safety of employees, major exchanges said.

The decision to close stock and options markets came after regulators, exchanges, and dealers discussed the unknowns that would have been tested if the markets opened on Monday, three of the sources said.

For example, NYSE Euronext's New York Stock Exchange had planned to shut its physical trading floor, which would have meant operating as an all-electronic exchange for the first time.

Bond markets will remain open, but will close at noon, a trade group said.

The decision to shut down the stock markets came after Wall Street had prepared to open for business on Monday with limited staffing, booking hotel rooms for key employees and leaning on offices in other cities. The storm forced the New York mass transit system to shut down on Sunday evening, leaving tens of thousands of employees stuck at home.

Wall Street banks, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc and Citigroup Inc, activated their emergency plans, which many firms put in place after the September 11, 2001, attacks. Banks were putting key staff, including some traders, in hotels and also are relying on others who live near the bank's offices.

It was not immediately clear if those plans had also changed.

Some offices in lower Manhattan's Financial District are in evacuation zones and most non-critical staff and employees who don't rely on high-speed systems, including some investment bankers, were asked to work from home.

The storm is expected to slam into the U.S. East Coast on Monday night, bringing torrential rain, high wind, severe flooding and power outages. The rare "super storm" - created by an Arctic jet stream wrapping itself around a tropical storm - could be the biggest to hit the U.S. mainland, forecasters said.

The scramble on Wall Street started early as New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the subway, bus and rail system in the city would begin to close at 7 p.m. EDT on Sunday (2300 GMT).

About 8.5 million commuters use the Metropolitan Transit Authority's transit lines daily, meaning most Wall Street employees would be unable to get to work. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg also closed public schools and ordered an evacuation of 375,000 people in coastal areas, including downtown offices of banks such as Citigroup.

All of the U.S. exchanges, as well as major broker-dealers, and regulators were involved in the decision to close the markets, according to several executives at exchanges and financial firms.

The U.S. markets have seen three high-profile snafus this year, beginning with the failed IPO of BATS Global Markets, the No. 3 U.S. equities exchange, on its own exchange; Facebook Inc's botched markets debut on Nasdaq's exchange; and a software glitch that cost trading firm Knight Capital well over $400 million, nearly forcing it into bankruptcy.

TRANSIT SHUT DOWN

The major exchanges and most big trading firms have alternate trading facilities if downtown Manhattan is inaccessible, but the storm's wide path may affect a number of sites in the New York metropolitan area. Authorities have warned of possible widespread power outages that could last for days.

Wall Street was spared the worst of Hurricane Irene in August last year. Officials had feared Hurricane Irene would flood lower Manhattan and cripple business in the world's financial capital, but the flooding was minor and there were no major disruptions at the exchanges.

The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association said earlier on Sunday it is recommending an early close of noon EDT on Monday for the trading of U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-income securities. It said its member firms should decide for themselves whether their fixed-income departments remain open for trading.

The foreign exchange market's activity generally follows the fixed income markets.

The New York Federal Reserve has calls scheduled for early Monday morning with dealers to see what each dealer is doing to cope with the storm, and will modify its market activities accordingly.

In Washington, the Commerce Department said it would post its report on personal income and spending for September on its website at 8:30 a.m. as scheduled, even though the federal government was closed.

The Federal Reserve said it would postpone its regularly scheduled releases, including its weekly report on selected interest rates and daily commercial paper data. The Fed said it would release the data when federal offices in the Washington area reopened.

Hurricane Sandy also led to some events being canceled or postponed. Citigroup Prime Brokerage postponed a hedge fund event that had been scheduled for Tuesday.

Hitachi near $629 million British nuclear project deal: media

TOKYO (Reuters) - Hitachi Ltd , Japan's largest industrial electronics maker, is close to buying British nuclear new-build project Horizon in a deal expected to be worth more than 50 billion yen ($628.46 million), Japanese media said on Saturday.

Horizon, which plans to build 6 gigawatts of nuclear capacity, was put up for sale by its German owners E.ON AG and RWE AG in March, as Germany's decision to pull out of nuclear power hurt the utilities' finances.

"Hitachi has made the best offer and has a good chance to get Horizon," a source inside the consortium familiar with the process told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity. Another person with knowledge of the proceedings also said Hitachi was likely to be the winner.

Hitachi is expected to hold a board meeting on Tuesday to approve the deal and officially announce it later that day, both the Asahi daily newspaper and Kyodo newswire reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.

Another newspaper, the Mainichi daily, reported that in addition to building the nuclear units, Hitachi is also expected to win a contract for about 40 years to operate and maintain the reactors.

Hitachi officials were not immediately available to comment on the report.

Officials at E.ON and Horizon declined to comment, while a RWE spokesman said: "We are in the final stages. We will probably say more in the coming days."

On Thursday, a RWE said it was in advanced talks to sell Horizon, after a German newspaper reported that a consortium led by Hitachi was the front runner for the Gloucester-based venture.

Hitachi, along with Canadian counterparty SNC-Lavalin , and Westinghouse plus its parent company Toshiba Corp , have both made bids for Horizon, a source with direct knowledge of the matter said earlier this month.

In early October, France's Areva dropped out of the race to buy Horizon after earlier announcing it was bidding with China Guangdong Nuclear Power Holding.

E.ON and RWE, which are both the focus of ratings agencies with debts of about 41 billion euros ($53.02 billion) and 34 billion euros respectively, each paid about 250 million euros for Horizon's two nuclear sites, at Oldbury near Bristol and Wylfa on Anglesey.

The two electricity companies have been under pressure since last year when Germany announced its intention to end nuclear energy use by 2022.

The British government plans huge growth in its nuclear industry, with new power stations expected to come on line by 2025 to replace ageing plants, but it has faced various stumbling blocks, including the Fukushima nuclear crisis delaying licensing and making projects more costly.

Hitachi, which has two nuclear power joint ventures with U.S.-based General Electric Co and earns just under 10 percent of revenues from its power systems segment, is slated to release financial results on Tuesday.

Business School Admissions Blog | MBA Admission Blog | Blog ...

In our ?What I Learned at?? series, MBAs discuss the tools and skills their business schools provided as they launched their careers.

Moran Amir, commonly referred to as ?Mo? by her peers, is a second year at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and the co-founder of?ADORNIA Fine Jewelry, the online destination to learn about and shop for fine jewelry. By applying innovative editorial content and fashion merchandising to the fine jewelry segment, ADORNIA reintroduces the art and tradition of jewelry to a modern generation of women.?In Part 4 of this series, Mo explains how the school?s Entrepreneurship Club fostered her interest in both following an entrepreneurial path with ADORNIA and building a female start-up movement at Wharton.?

Moran Amir, ADORNIA Fine JewelryDuring the third week of pre-term at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, a busload of entrepreneurially curious first years?including me?descended on New York City to attend the Wharton Founder?s Retreat, sponsored by the Entrepreneurship Club. We first years were given an opportunity early on in our Wharton experience to meet other recently graduated Wharton entrepreneurs and start thinking about potential business ideas. From that day forward, I loved the entrepreneurship community at Wharton and felt a strong connection to the particular rebellious and productive energy these individuals possessed. Even before meeting my business partner, Bex, I realized that my peers at Wharton represented fertile soil among which to brainstorm, evaluate and collaborate on ventures such as my company, ADORNIA Fine Jewelry.

The recent demographics at Wharton speak to a significant start-up trend. The Entrepreneurship Club at Wharton, popularly known as the eClub, is one of the largest professional clubs in the MBA program, consisting of more than 400 members. Roughly 40% of my incoming class slated entrepreneurship as their career focus at Wharton. I looked around the room at the Founder?s Retreat and saw a sizable number of Wharton start-ups getting off the ground. Its status as the preeminent finance school notwithstanding, Wharton that day for me became a start-up of start-ups. Though I learned later that year in my introductory finance course (?Finance 601?) how to quantify risk, I learned through the eClub how to embrace it.

At the entrepreneurship retreat, I also happened to notice a ubiquitous interest in consumer-retail ventures among recent female graduates and peers. A full 45% of my class is composed of females, the highest female admittance rate ever for Wharton and across the board for any MBA program. The increased affinity for entrepreneurship was dovetailing with the rise of female acceptance rates at Wharton. These two trends have helped advance innovation in gender-biased fields such as beauty and fashion, which have been historically neglected by an overwhelmingly male Silicon Valley. I started to do more research on entrepreneurship and gender and came across some startling statistics. The Venture Capital Human Capital Report indicates that women represent only 8% of founders of venture capital?backed companies. A mere 3% of all Y Combinator founders have been women. While traditional venture capital has failed to cross the industry gender divide, ADORNIA and other ventures started by female MBAs seek to fill in the gaps.

Currently in our second year at Wharton, Bex and I have taken the mission to our home front at Wharton. We see an opportunity through ADORNIA to carve out a space at Wharton for female entrepreneurship. To aid our cause, we have enlisted powerful Wharton female alumnae such as Denise Incandela, chief marketing officer for Saks Fifth Avenue, whom I had met during my first year at Wharton at small group dinners and career talks. The female alumni network has helped ADORNIA navigate everything from trademark questions to effective social media campaigns. Leveraging the Wharton brand and my retail connections also brought me together with successful female entrepreneurs from outside the Wharton community, such as Alexandra Wilkis Wilson. Alexandra, a Harvard Business School graduate and one of the founders of Gilt Groupe, became the first member of ADORNIA?s advisory board last spring and has since then provided critical advice to the company. Bex and I found endless wisdom in Alexandra and learned how her success with Gilt Groupe helped directly nurture other successful female start-ups such as Birchbox and Rent the Runway. Like Alexandra, we hope to inspire other women to not only buy ADORNIA fine jewels, but also to follow in our footsteps.

North Korea new leader still a mystery after nearly a year: Pentagon

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Whether North Korea's new leader will follow the dangerous path of his father is unclear, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said on Wednesday, despite worrying behavior by the reclusive state during his first year in power.

"The bottom line is we still don't know whether or not he will simply follow in the steps of his father or whether he represents a different kind of leadership for the future," Panetta said, flanked by South Korea's defense chief at a Pentagon news conference.

The still largely untested Kim Jong-un, in his late 20s, has appeared to be trying hard to soften the dour image of his dictator father, whom he succeeded in December.

He has appeared waving and smiling at public events, even attending a pop concert that included Disney characters. At times - just as unusual for a North Korean leader - he was accompanied by his wife.

South Korean Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin noted that Kim Jong-un was trying to introduce economic reforms, even though he acknowledged in the same breath that it was unclear if they could succeed.

But when it comes to the armed forces, the North Korean leader appears to moving ahead with the military-first policy of his father. Panetta pointed to evidence of North Korea's persistent preparations for more missile and nuclear tests and its ongoing uranium enrichment.

The U.S. and South Korean defense chiefs cited North Korea's failed long-range rocket test in April.

"So they continue to behave in a provocative way that threatens the security of our country and obviously of South Korea and the region," Panetta said.

BALLOON INCIDENT

South Korea this month unveiled an agreement with the United States that extends the range of its ballistic missiles by more than twice the current limit to 800 km (497 miles). The agreement also increases the payload that South Korean ballistic missiles can carry.

Whether the agreement acts as a deterrent remains to be seen. Panetta expressed relief that North Korea had not followed through with threats of a "merciless military strike" over efforts by activists in South Korea to launch balloons carrying propaganda leaflets across the border.

South Korean police banned them from sending over the leaflets but some activists reportedly moved to another site near the border and launched the balloons anyway.

"I was relieved that the balloon incident, which raised concerns about potential provocation, that (it) did not occur," he said.

The warning of a military strike was the most explicit in months and the first since Kim Jong-un took power.

South Korea's defense minister warned the North Korean leader may yet prove to be more aggressive.

"He is still young, meaning that he may be a lot more aggressive compared to old people - because he's still young," Kim said.

Friday?s matchupsOrange at Chapel HillBoth teams see this as a must win. They each lost to undefeated Cardinal Gibbons, and the winner of this game gets second place in the Carolina 3A Conference. That is likely to get the winner at least one home game to open the NCHSAA playoffs. Both of these old rivals are playing excellent football as they head into the final week. Orange might have a slight edge on offensive depth, outscoring league opponents 127-49, while Chapel Hill looks slightly stronger on defense. Records: Orange 7-2 (3-1 Carolina 3A); Chapel Hill 8-2 (3-1 Carolina 3A). Series: Orange has won three straight since these two got back into the same 3A conference in 2009.Roxboro Person at East Chapel HillEast Chapel Hill has the misfortune of catching the Rockets on the rebound. Person has won back-to-back conference games while East has lost three straight. That leaves both on the cusp of qualifying for the NCHSAA playoffs, so this season finale has a lot of meaning. Person has discovered how to move the ball in recent week. In last weeks win against Riverside, Marquis Torain rushed for 167 yards and three touchdowns, while Trey Tapp completed 9-of-11 passes. The Wildcats haven?t been back to the playoffs since they moved into the 4A classification. Records: Person 3-7 (2-3 PAC-6); East Chapel Hill 4-5 (2-3 PAC-6). Series: Person had won five straight vs. East before the ?Cats won 35-21 last year in Roxboro.Providence Grove at CarrboroThe Jaguars present every opponent with multiple problems: a varied offense that moves the ball well both on the ground and in the air, and a quality defense that allowed 15.8 points a game so far this season. Providence Grove has been okay on offense, but has yielded 34 points a game to its last five opponents -- the worst performance of any Midstate 2A team. Hence, they?ve lost four of their last five games. Records: Providence Grove 4-6, (2-4 Midstate 2A); Carrboro 10-0 (4-0 Carolina 2A). Series: Carrboro won 27-14 last year on the road, the two teams? only previous meeting.Cedar Ridge at NorthwoodNorthwood has under-achieved somewhat this season, but when the Chargers are good, they?re very good. The key for them has been avoiding mistakes; when they hold onto the ball, they move it wit the best around. Northwood has scored an average of 34.4 points over the last four weeks. Cedar Ridge has been giving up 34 points a game this year. Records: Cedar Ridge 1-9 (1-2 Carolina 2A); Northwood 5-5 (1-2).. Series: Northwood has won six of the last seven meetings, including 22-20 last year.Player of the WeekTi PinnixNorthwood, Soph., QB/RBPinnix scored enough points to match Union Pines? entire output last Friday in the Chargers? 34-10 win. He accounted for 361 of Northwood?s 476 total yards. He rushed for 109 yards, including the game?s first score on a 37-yard run. His 26-yard TD pass to Colton Anderson late in the first half proved to be the game-winner, and he added an insurance TD with his 29-yard pass to Aumad Walker, who ended up with 93 yards on just five receptions. Pinnix completed 17 of 27 passes for 252 yards. CoachSpeakJason TudrynCarrboro head coach?We just played so-so football (at 1-9 Granville Central).

Why It's Best To Get A Contractor To Do Web Design - The Yellow Ads

If you run a business, it is really important to have a web site that you can use for promoting it. This is critical since many of us nowadays use the Net to find information. By having a company website, you can benefit from some of this traffic. One of the services you could need to consider getting when in the procedure of beginning one is a Florida web design service.

There are several people who frequently start web sites and then don't pay much attention to this. For example, they could decide to design their internet sites in a straightforward manner, in order that they don't have to spend money on a professional. This is typically in a bid to try and save a bit of cash.

The incontrovertible fact that you are trying to save cash by doing this could occasionally make sense. Nonetheless the fact is that by not getting pro services, you might lay yourself open to many Problems. The undeniable fact that the site is for business implies that this is an opportunity that you should not take.

In numerous cases, you will find that the idea of design involves more than simply selecting colours and fonts for your internet site. You must also consider many other things, for example the intuitiveness of the site. It may also be mandatory to try to ensure that all of the controls like the buttons are positioned for easy use.

To do that, one frequently has to think about many variables. As an example, the sort of traffic you are going to draw in will decide the type of color and font scheme that you're going to use. As an example, if you are designing a site for children, you might need to use bright colours and fascinating font in order to appeal to them.

In other cases, you may even need to contemplate the sort of demographic you are targeting. A site designed for accountants and financiers, for instance, cannot be designed the same way as that one meant for comedians. The second most frequently like understated or formal designs, so this is what you would need to go for.

As you can see, there are lots of different things that must be thought of when you're designing such a site. This means that so as to do it properly, you would need to work with more than just hunches. Ideally, you would need to have some experience relating to the different design techniques that have been shown to work in different scenarios. This way, you would then only need to figure out what type of market you are targeting, and then base your design on what would appeal to them most.

Getting such ability routinely takes a lot time, and this is the reason why it is often better to do Florida web design using the services of a pro. Granted, you'll need to pay them for the service, but you can be warranted that you are going to be receiving very amazing value for money in the end. This makes it more than worth it, since you may finish up with a site that all your clients will actually like.

Databerry is an oracle hosting company that also specializes in custom web application developement.

Microsoft Surface pre-orders in Canada, UK are not delayed (Update)

Microsoft Surface preorderers in Canada, UK report release dates pushed back to November 2nd

Microsoft's Surface for Windows RT appears to be flying off the virtual shelves, however it seems some of the customers who've pre-ordered will be waiting about a week longer than they thought. We've received several tips from readers in Canada and the UK indicating they've received emails (as seen above, check after the break for similar reports from Twitter) explaining that their tablets will be shipping on November 2nd, instead of October 26th as originally scheduled when they put their requests in days ago. There's no reason currently listed for the delay, however we have contacted Microsoft for further comment on the situation. Currently the Surface is listed as completely sold out on the UK and Canada Microsoft Store sites, and in the US all three variants are no longer promised for delivery on release date. It's been reported that Microsoft is building up to five million of the devices for launch this fall, hopefully they can all find their way to good homes sooner rather than later.

Update: A Microsoft spokesperson has responded, informing us that the emails sent out were incorrect, so "all customers should expect their devices by the original date given." It will be following up with customers to let them know their shipping date has not changed, and you can read the full statement for yourself after the break.

[Thanks to Jack, everyone who sent this in]

RIP Big Tex: 1952-2012

"Howdeeeee folks. Welcome to the State Fair of Texas!" Visitors to Dallas' Fair Park have been greeted by the booming voice of a 52-foot-tall statue at the state fair for the last 60 years. But the Lone Star State icon leaves some giant boots to fill—today Big Tex met a tragic death in a purported electrical fire. There's nothing left but his hands, feet, and metal frame left to fill the world's largest body bag. More »

(AP) ? At the Missouri college where Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis enrolled, a classmate said he often remarked that true Muslims don't believe in violence.

That image seemed startlingly at odds with the Bangladesh native's arrest in an FBI sting this week on charges of trying to blow up the Federal Reserve Bank in New York with what he thought was a 1,000-pound car bomb.

"I can't imagine being more shocked about somebody doing something like this," said Jim Dow, a 54-year-old Army veteran who rode home from class with Nafis twice a week. "I didn't just meet this kid a couple of times. We talked quite a bit. ... And this doesn't seem to be in character."

Nafis' family in Dhaka, Bangladesh, denied he could have been involved in the plot. His parents said he was incapable of such actions and came to America only to study.

Federal investigators, often accused by defense attorneys of entrapping and leading would-be terrorists along, said the 21-year-old Nafis made the first move over the summer, reaching out for accomplices and eventually contacting a government informant, who then went to federal authorities.

They said he also selected his target, drove the van loaded with dummy explosives up to the door of the bank, and tried to set off the bomb from a hotel room using a cellphone he thought had been rigged as a detonator.

During the investigation, he and the informant corresponded via Facebook and other social media, talked on the phone and met in hotel rooms, according to a law enforcement official who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Nafis spoke of his admiration for Osama bin Laden, talked of writing an article about his plot for an al-Qaida-affiliated magazine, and said he would be willing to be a martyr but preferred to go home to his family after carrying out the attack, authorities said. And he also talked about wanting to kill President Barack Obama and bomb the New York Stock Exchange, a law enforcement official said.

Investigators said in court papers that he came to the U.S. bent on jihad and worked out the specifics of a plot when he arrived. While Nafis believed he had the blessing of al-Qaida and was acting on behalf of the terrorist group, he has no known ties, according to federal officials.

Nafis, who at the time of his arrest Wednesday was working as a busboy at a restaurant in Manhattan, was jailed without bail. His attorney has not commented on the case, but in other instances where undercover agents and sting operations were used, lawyers have argued entrapment.

Investigators would not say exactly how he initially contacted the government informant.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, whose department had a role in the arrest as a member of a joint federal-state terrorism task force, said the entrapment argument rarely prevails.

"You have to be otherwise not disposed to do a crime," Kelly said. "And if it's your intent to do a crime, and somehow there are means made available, then generally speaking, the entrapment defense does not succeed."

Nafis was a terrible student in his native Bangladesh, and his middle-class parents said he persuaded them to send him to study in the U.S. as a way of improving his job prospects. They don't believe he was planning an attack.

His father, a banker, said Nafis was so timid he couldn't venture out onto the roof alone.

"My son couldn't have done it," Quazi Ahsanullah said, weeping.

"He is very gentle and devoted to his studies," he said, pointing to Nafis' time studying at the private North South University in Dhaka.

Belal Ahmed, a spokesman for the university, said Nafis was put on probation and threatened with expulsion if he didn't bring his grades up. Nafis eventually stopped coming to school, Ahmed said.

Ahsanullah said his son had argued that a U.S. degree would give him a better chance at success in Bangladesh. "I spent all my savings to send him to America," the father said.

Nafis moved to Missouri, where he studied cybersecurity at Southeast Missouri State University. He also became vice president of the school's Muslim Student Association and began attending a mosque.

But he withdrew after one semester and requested over the summer that his records be transferred to a school in Brooklyn. The university declined to identify which school.

Dow, his former classmate at Southeast Missouri State, said Nafis spoke admiringly of bin Laden. At the same time, "he told me he didn't really believe bin Laden was involved in the twin towers because he said bin Laden was a religious man, and a religious man wouldn't have done something like that," Dow said.

He said Nafis gave Dow a copy of the Quran and asked him to read it. But he "didn't rant or rave or say crazy stuff," Dow said.

"What really shocked me the most was he had specifically spoken to me about true Muslims not believing in violence," Dow said.

Dion Duncan of St. Louis, a fellow student and member of the Muslim organization, said: "Nafis was a good kid. He showed no traces of anti-Americanism, or death to America, or anything like that. He was a trustworthy, honest kid."

"He was polite and courteous. He was helpful. All the things you would expect from a good Muslim kid. He prayed five times a day," Duncan said.

Pietersen's return can improve England's chances in India: Finn ...

Pietersen?s return can improve England?s chances in India: Finn ? Cricket News Update

Adopting a measured stance on the controversial Kevin Pietersen saga, England pacer Steven Finn stated that while he was unaware of the finer details regarding Pietersen?s return to the England team, the hard-hitting batsman?s presence in the squad would prove useful for the Poms as they go into their upcoming tour of India.

?KP averages nearly 50 in Test cricket, a record that is up there with the best who have ever played,? Finn said while speaking to Standard Sport. ?Having him in the squad is important to England?s success because he is a great player.

?People who have experienced subcontinental conditions before help the young guys so yes, it does make you a stronger side,? he said, adding that Pietersen had been among the seniors who helped him adapt to local conditions when Finn toured Australia with England for the first time, in 2010/2011.

?The bigger the pool of knowledge, the better we?ll be as a team.?

Pietersen?s already strained relationship with the England and Wales Cricket Board worsened during South Africa?s tour of England earlier this year. While Pietersen, who had retired from international limited-overs cricket earlier this year, initially called a press conference to express his complaints against the ECB and his team members, he was later revealed to have sent text messages, alleged to contain either tactical advice or unsavoury comments about then skipper Andrew Strauss, to members of the visiting Proteas team.

The revelation led to the ECB dropping him from the XI for the final Test against South Africa (with England going on to lose the series, and their top Test team ranking), and the 15-man squad for the ICC World Twenty20 2012 (where the Poms failed to defend their title).

However, talks between both parties were recently resumed, and culminated in a long-awaited reconciliation, with the ECB agreeing to allow Pietersen back into the team once he had undergone a reintegration programme. Whether the programme will be completed in time for Pietersen to join the team in India, for a tour which commences in November, remains to be seen.

When questioned about the matter, Finn pointed out that while he knew Pietersen, a veteran of 88 Tests (with 7076 runs and 21 centuries to his credit), had been given a central contract again, he was unaware of when and how the batsman would return to the squad.

?When he does come back it will be good to have him and I am looking forward to it,? said the 23-year-old.

Philip Rivers NFL Performance In 2006 mulberry factory shop

Philip Rivers NFL Performance In 2006After the 2005 season, Drew Brees was not re-signed (partly due to the injury suffered in the Denver game) by the Chargers, instead signing a large contract that included sizeable guaranteed money with the New Orleans Saints during the 2006 free agency period. Many doubted the Chargers' decision to change quarterbacks as they were a Super Bowl contender, believing that Rivers' inexperience would hinder them. Rivers was named the Chargers' starter going into training camp. Expectations were high for Rivers due to the large amount of talent on the cheap nfl jerseys San Diego Chargers' offense and the performance of his peers from the 2004 draft (Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger) as starters.

On November 12, 2006, Rivers had the best game of his short career and led the San Diego Chargers to an improbable comeback against the Cincinnati Bengals. Down 28? at halftime, Rivers led the Chargers nfl jerseys on sale on six drives culminating in touchdowns. After driving in for the Chargers first touchdown after halftime, Nick Hardwick, Rivers' center, reminisced about Rivers, mimicking his southern drawl, "He's yelling 'Y'all don't think we're out of this' to the Bengals. When he said that, I said, 'Shoot, I guess we ain't out of this. Right on.' Rivers threw for 337 yards and three touchdown passes ken griffey shoes, while LaDainian Tomlinson scored three of their four rushing touchdowns. San Diego outscored Cincinnati 42?3 in the second half winning the game 49?1, matching the biggest comeback in 23 years for the Chargers.

The fifth week of the season, the reigning Super Bowl-champion cheap nfl jerseys authentic Pittsburgh Steelers came to town, and Bill Cowher's defensive game plan revolved around stopping LaDainian Tomlinson. This game marked a turning point for Rivers, who aided by head coach Marty Schottenheimer's opening of the playbook, led the team in a come-from-behind victory throwing 24-of-37 for 242 yards and two TDs prada sneakers, winning 23?3.

Football Outsiders projected that Rivers would become an NFL star before the 2006 season due to his spectacular completion percentage in college (72% as a senior) mulberry factory shop. After just 5 NFL starts, Rivers cheap nfl jerseys china was named the second best NFL quarterback under 25 years of age by Sports Illustrated and drew numerous comparisons to Dan Marino for his quick release and pocket presence.

On September 11, 2006, Rivers made his NFL start against the Oakland Raiders. Rivers managed the game well despite only passing 11 times, but completed 8 passes, one for a touchdown, in a 27? rout of the Raiders. After his first game, Rivers led the NFL in QB rating with 133 prada bags.9.

Then following week against what was considered at the time to be a strong Denver Broncos defense, the Chargers became the first team in history to win back-to-back games after trailing by 17 or more points and also the first team to win four straight when allowing at least 27 points in each game. Rivers nfl jerseys sale led several 4th quarter comebacks in 2006, and posted the league's highest 4th quarter quarterback rating. His performance over the season led to a selection to the 2007 Pro Bowl. After a 14 cartier glasses? season the Chargers were set to play the New England Patriots in the divisional round of the playoffs. The Patriots won that game, and Schottenheimer lost his job. The Patriots went on to the AFC Championship where they lost to the Indianapolis Colts 38-34.

West Haven gets new scoreboards, bleachers

WEST HAVEN ? The new West Haven ?Sports Park,? home of the Wasatch Front Football League, has come of age since the city installed new electronic scoreboards and the latest design in bleachers.

Construction of the 18-acre park began in 2006.

According to Councilwoman Sharon Bolos, there used to be some old-style bleachers at the park, but not permanent structures.

The park also used portable scoreboards.

?When my boys first stated playing football two years ago, I couldn?t even find the scoreboard,? Bolos said. ?When I spotted it in the corner of the field, I thought, ?We have got to get scoreboards here.? ?

That started the ball rolling.

Bolos asked Brock Randall, director of the Parks and Recreation Department, to look into the cost for new equipment. With the backing of the city council and Mayor Brian Melaney, Randall applied for and received a RAMP grant from Weber County.

The city added two new scoreboards and three permanent bleachers to the Sports Park, at 4215 S. 3900 West. The total cost of the project was $88,000, half paid by the RAMP grant and the other half matched by the city, along with impact fees.

?We have football teams and visitors come from the top of Cache County and Box Elder County down through Davis County and, the new scoreboards and bleachers are a great addition to the park. It really makes our West Haven Grizzlies football players feel like they have a great place to call their home turf,? Randall said.

Bolos said, ?I am so excited about these new additions to the park because they accentuate our amazing football program. Our facility was great to begin with, and now West Haven stands out as one of the best football locations in the league.?

The park also has a tennis court, soccer field, softball field, a bowery with attached utility building, a walking path, state-of the art playground, and a large parking lot.

Randall said the park is nearly complete, but officials plan to add more parking space, more grass and a possible recreation building.

Randall said the city is adding advertising panels to both scoreboards. Anyone interested in advertising at the Sports Park can call Randall at 801-430-1517.

PPP Poll: Romney Surges to Gain Lead in Florida

A new PPP poll in Florida underscores the huge surge Mitt Romney has made in just a week since his widely acknowledgd debate win over President Barack Obama.

Romney gained 5 points over the last three weeks and now leads President Obama 49-48, after trailing 50-46 in late September, the Tampa Bay Times reported Sunday.

"The shift in the race is largely attributable to independent voters shifting their preferences. Where before Obama had a 51-40 advantage with them, now Romney's taken the lead by a 51/43 spread. When it comes to the biggest issue in the election, the economy, Romney's edge over Obama expands to 51/46 on who voters trust more," PPP reported in a release Sunday.

"Romney and Obama's images have headed in difference directions since the Presidential debate. Voters have warmed up to Romney a good bit, going from giving him a negative favorability rating at 44/51 to a positive one at 50/47. Meanwhile Obama's approval numbers have gone the other way. Where before he was on positive ground with 51% of voters approving of him to 47% who disapproved, now he's in slightly negative territory at 48/50.

"There's been a fairly large shift among white voters over the last three weeks. They've gone from favoring Romney by 11 points at 53-42 to 17 points at 57-40. Non-white voters are pretty steady from the last poll including Hispanics who give Obama a slight edge at 50/47. Obama has a small advantage with voters under 65, but Romney erases that with a 52/45 advantage among seniors. Likewise Obama's up with women (51-47) but Romney's ahead by even more with men (52-44).

"The Vice Presidential debate doesn't seem to have made much of a difference with voters in the state. They think Biden won it 44/40, including a 45/34 victory with independents. But in spite of that they still have a more favorable opinion of Ryan (50/44 favorability) than they do of the Vice President (45/50)."

Why Holding A Field Radio To My Ear - Business Insider

It was early, a good friend was calling and the phone was ringing.

I hate the phone; anyone who knows me, knows this. It is a strange irrationality of mine, but my level of discomfort turns to panic as each ring passes.

Sometimes I flip a switch inside and pick it up, other times step outside myself, watch it play through to the end ? then take a moment to recover.

I hate the phone because I was a platoon radio operator during the battle of Fallujah, when I was nineteen, and every time somebody called me out there it was a serious fucking emergency.

I had to monitor the net (field communication network) for unit reports on friendly movement so that my platoon did not walk into another?s gun fire.

One time I had told a tank that it would be clear to fire on a building, shortly after I watched a dozen Marines from another platoon take cover behind the same building, out of sight of the tank. The tank?s turret shifted and pointed toward the building.

When there are too many people talking on a radio channel, the net gets tied up and I have to wait for a person to stop talking before I can talk to them. I frantically held down the button to my handset repeating over and over, more panicked and more panicked, ?Cease fire, cease fire, cease fire!? When I let go of the button I could hear the tank power down with a sound like a vacuum cleaner and my handset answered back, ?Roger, cease fire.??

Other times I would need the radio to call for a medical evacuation of friends who had been shot or killed or hit by explosives.

Most days my ear was stuck to my handset for eighteen hours and nothing special but during the times that nothing happened a person could not help but to wonder what the next horrible phone call might be.

When I turn my knob to our battalion channel sometimes the breaking news of the day is a friend from another company has just been killed; or I am sleepy on hour seventeen but keep nodding to the sound of empty radio static that makes a noise like television snow while filled with a cold panic that if I go to sleep, my friends would die because of me.

Sometimes my friend Nate Douglass would call my apartment late at night and I would not pick up. I would want to cry for fear, but did not feel well enough to help someone who needed real help. I would take a moment to recover and carry on with the endless web surfing. He just wanted to talk, so did I, but war is a bitch and we both know it.?

One time I picked up the phone for a number I did not recognize and it was Luis Munoz, our old point man.

He had moved back to Mexico after the service and was calling to tell me about the violence he was witnessing, he said it was worse than Fallujah and he had a child to raise. He had been shot through the leg in Fallujah so bad that he was told he would never walk again.

When we reunited Luis was in physical therapy walking with a cane in his early twenties, by the time he was discharged from the Marines as a wounded warrior he was jogging.

Rich Casares had been hit by an enemy hand grenade in Fallujah, which had damaged one of his eyes. The doctors put an air bubble behind it; I had to write him because he was in a Texas Prison, when he wrote me he would ask for a picture of Fallujah that looked really good so he could have it tattooed across his back.

Paul Johnson has a kid and soon will Donald Blais, they live in Connecticut today and during the battle rushed into a burning house to ferry the bodies of their wounded friends, without being ordered to.

One early morning in my dark apartment I picked up the phone for Nate Douglass who had also been hit by an enemy hand grenade.

We had been best friends in Fallujah.

We talked about our struggles coming home and then we talked about the day he'd been hit by the hand grenade. He would reference the morning and I would retort with my perspective of the same thing.

When we got to the operation he would talk about what he saw inside a house while I would tell him what I saw outside of that house. I realized that the story flowed naturally and that if I had the other members of our platoon who were there that day I was sure that they could reconstruct the story with even more depth.

I told Douglass that night that I had an idea for a documentary that would tell a story of real life heroism and struggle that might answer questions for outsiders and those just returning from their story.

Ergonomics: A Prudent Consideration When Buying Baby Carriers ...

When carrying a baby in a carrier, not only should the wearer ensure that the baby is held close to her, but also guarantee that the baby is adequately and sufficiently supported and positioned in the same carrier. This is what ergonomics is all about.

According to chiropractors, it is utterly important that the baby?s pelvis, spine and hips are well sustained when in the carrier and that both the wearer and the baby are comfortable. These medical practitioners also recommend that the carrier should comfortably but safely sit on the wearer?s body, to ensure the safety and comfort of the baby. This is especially when one is carrying a bigger baby or a tot.

Holding a child in an upright position is never correct. This position is also known as ?forward facing-out?. It is largely discouraged as the baby?s spine is never supported as it should medically be. As an alternative, one should try the position that the baby was used to for nine months in the womb, the natural ?C? curve. Carrying a baby in the upright position tremendously stresses the spine as pressure is exerted on its lower side. This has an adverse effect on the future posture of the child as the lumbar curvature is yet to be formed and can be distorted by the immense pressure.

The most advised position for the baby in the carrier is when he sits in it with the bottom in a lower position than the knees, hips spread out in more than 90 degrees and the knees bent. This position is commonly referred to as the ?M? position. It is advised due to its ability to ensure that the baby?s weight is evenly distributed, making it easy to carry him and also ensures that the hips are firmly kept within their sockets hence preventing pressure exertion in the lower back or straining.

Hip dysplasia and ?clicky hips? are made worse by the upright position which causes an exertion of too much pressure on the hip joints by the baby?s weight. This is the main reason why ergonomics is advocated for by chiropractors.

Other than ergonomics, a parent should also consider how well the baby?s weight on the wearer is distributed by the carrier. One should only buy carriers that snug the baby close to the wearer as opposed to those that allow the baby to lean away. The latter would only make the baby uncomfortable and back pains more severe for people with pre-existing backache issues. One would rather avoid a carrier that would force her to keep leaning backwards in order to feel at ease.

A good number of baby carriers are expressly designed to snug the baby close to the wearer hence getting rid of possible straining. Most of these feature cushioned shoulder straps, heavily padded waist straps and a chest buckle that evenly disperse the weight and ensure that the baby is firmly held.

The most amazing thing about a well designed baby carrier is that not only is bonding emphasised between the two parties but also ergonomics is taken care of.
