A 2012 report to the FAA by a committee co-chaired by a Boeing representative and the FAA’s top aviation safety official, Ali Bahrami, recommended increased delegation of oversight to industry, working toward a “future state” beyond ODA with another deliberately obscure bureaucratic name: Certified Design Organization, or CDO.

Devan Shimoyama’s hooded sweatshirt made of silk flowers, beads and rhinestones on fabric mounted on the wall at Kavi Gupta’s booth got a lot of looks. "My favorite booth hands down was Kavi Gupta," says cultural consultant Bettina Prentice. "I kept coming back again and again to the Devan Shimoyama work they were showing. It is a beautiful piece but that hooded sweatshirt also symbolizes a roadside memorial and radiates with pain and loss."

The Air Force will increase airmen’s clothing allowance this fall by roughly $20 to match the increased price of the OCP design, Maj. Gen. Robert LaBrutta, the Air Force’s director of military force management policy, told Air Force Times in a May interview. The new boots will roughly match the price of the older, sage green boots worn with ABUs.

Florida tackle Jawaan Taylor went to the Jaguars next ; he said Jacksonville is only two hours from his home. The Jags dealt with Oakland for that spot.

"I was 15-16, at a party. I went outside on a balcony for a smoke with someone I was talking to, and there was already a guy out there. We chatted as a group, and the friend went back inside. I started chatting with the guy who was already out there, who seemed a little funny. He started talking about how he was in the Army for a little bit but got kicked out, then pulled out a big knife and handed it to me. I looked at it and gave it back to him. At that point he pushed me against the edge of the balcony, put the knife to my neck, looked me in the eye, and said "do you know why I wanted to join the Army? I wanted to fucking kill people, man. People just like you". He then made a slicing sound with his mouth and took the knife away, then started laughing."

Sitake is all for player safety and rules that enhance that. But he is not in favor of targeting penalties that seem to go beyond protection and punish players. He even stood up at the NCAA Coaches Convention and voiced that opinion.

For the bay bridge issue, I was able to make and finish phone calls through the trouble zone without dropouts. This is pretty impressive as phone calls typically just abruptly end where even the built-in streaming of our car’s entertainment system blacks out for this one 500 ft section. Similarly, at the high school, I was able to drive within the troubled area and have an uninterrupted phone call without any signs of audio trouble.

The truth is we don’t have much of a choice. Between the number of trucks needed to cover such a large area and the popularity of mounted tire programs, the economics of replacing cargo area with a machine will never add up. Commercial tire dealers need trucks that can deliver and pick up different quantities of tires while simultaneously acting as road service vehicles. It’s a totally different business over here in almost every aspect, so the manual labor component is one that will never be completely erased from the equation.

Little do we realize as we sit through these demonstrations over and over, we aren’t only getting a safety lesson on what to do during an in-air emergency — we are getting a life lesson on handling any traumatic incident we may face, including a school safety incident.
