Near the completion of my engineering degree, TI came out with their first pocket electronic calculator for engineers. I don't remember the model, but I think they even called it the "Slide Ruler." It cost 400 "1972 dollars." Now, you can buy one in a blister pack at the K-Mart checkout line for $9.95 which, though not a TI, will do everything theirs did in 1972.
The professors had no problem with their students using one, but (fair or not), if you used one on a test, you were required to come up with precise answers and you lost the fudge-factor allowance of the traditional slide rule.
"Hi scab": You say it so readily, as if it might be used in everyday life, amongst co workers, and friends. True?
1. You need to start. It might help calm you down.
2. I am glad you are an expert in stallion semen.
3. Correct. I chose not to be associated with him or any of his operation. Unlike you
4. I am glad you find it tiresome.
In other news.......has anyone seen Judge Silver? Any missing posters up? I'm thinking she reads the papers and slid our file under all the rest hoping the merger will settle this for her. This suit has been another home run, win-win for the company. Thoughts?
I know, just couldn't let that one by. I think he is stressed dodging bears in the woods and the trucks on the roads. Where you been? I know you haven't been working.
I was "in" the meteorology program.
The other guys taking potshots?! Really!? Jim, look in the mirror.

Interesting that you seem to know so much about Franke, are you obsessed?
Should we go thru the laundry list of CEO's at the mighty USA that created the power house that is USA? I would guess none of them are sitting at home waitin' on the gubment check.....
Franke circus, is that like the 5 in 5 era at USA?
You go girl and get the all powerful usAPA to stop the merger. A weak number 5 in the marketplce will be an enviable position to be in as we slowly whither on the vine. Ya'll can sit in the van down by the river and catch your next meal. Your arrogance is only exceded by your stupidity.

Clampax-
You're the kind that blames your and the USA failure on everyone else and wants to steal back your lost career on the back of the west pilots.
Did you forget all the PROGRESSIVE airlines that scooped up your pax by being progressive? SWA, JBlue, Air Tranny moved into town and show you who the new sheriff was in town. What did you do, we know it all, full and highest pay to the last day, my way or the highway.
Time to head to the river clampax....

Here's a clue or an excuse...
[background=#ffffff]Federal courts in Arizona face crushing caseload

Federal courts in Arizona are still in “dire circumstances” as an emergency declaration that was supposed to help judges keep pace with a crushing caseload is set to expire.
The judicial emergency declared last year in the wake of the shooting death of Chief Judge John Roll runs out Monday, but officials say the U.S. District Court for the state still faces many of the same challenges.
“The reason that existed last year still prevails this year,” Chief Judge Roslyn Silver said recently. “We are still in dire circumstances. We are under water.”
The judicial emergency more than doubled the time allowed for the government to bring a case to trial, giving the court some relief from a rising caseload and judicial vacancies in the district.
Through “lots of hard work” and the help of visiting judges, the district court has managed to stay within the original 70-day time frame for cases to come to trial under the Speedy Trial Act and has not had to invoke the 180-day limit allowed under the emergency.
But that balancing act could be thrown off, Silver said, without the extra help the court has been receiving.
“If we don't have that, which is the fail-safe, then we're in big trouble, because there's just no way we could handle this caseload,” Silver said.
Arizona had the highest number of per-judge felony filings in the nation in fiscal 2011, at 554 criminal felony filings for each district court judge, according to the U.S. District Court Judicial Caseload Profile for Arizona. That load was fueled in part by the large number of immigration cases handled in the court, experts said.
The court also saw the total number of cases per judge grow by 22 percent in the fiscal year, from 793 to 969, the fourth-highest judicial caseload in the country, the report said.
It came as three of the 13 district judgeships allotted to the state were vacant. Two were empty last January when Roll was killed in the shooting spree at a Tucson supermarket that killed five others and wounded 13, including former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
The judicial emergency was declared by Silver after Roll's death. It was extended last February to this March by the Judicial Council of the Ninth Circuit, in an effort to buy the district some breathing room.
President Barack Obama nominated two candidates in June to fill the vacancies, but only one, Judge Jennifer Guerin Zipps, has been appointed. The other nominee, attorney Rosemary Marquez, has been stalled in the Senate.
Brian Karth, the clerk for the district, said filling those vacancies is the minimum needed. He claimed that, according to judicial standards, the district's caseload is high enough to warrant 10 additional judgeships.
In the meantime, the district has had to rely on visiting judges from other districts across the country, Karth said. One to two judges come each week to assist with court proceedings.
“We continue to struggle to keep within standards, and everybody's basically forced to work harder and try to be resourceful in pulling together resources, sometimes from outside our district, to perform well,” Karth said.
“There's certainly a wear and tear on anybody who has to sustain that sort of a pace for lengthy periods,” he said.
Walter Nash, a trial lawyer and partner with Nash & Kirchner in Tucson, said the “crushing” caseload in the district is having a serious impact on trials.
“It lessens the quality of justice for all parties involved,” Nash said.
Prosecutors have less time to prepare arguments, while victims' cases aren't resolved “as fast as they should be.” And judges could be rushed into a decision, meaning some guilty defendants may be acquitted, he said.
The need for new judges will be even greater when Speedy Trial Act provisions are reinstated next week after the emergency expires, Nash said.
“You get the best result … if everyone has time to handle a case properly,” Nash said.
Silver agreed that slow trials affect all sectors of the public and courts have an “obligation to ensure justice for all.” But with limited resources, space problems in courtrooms, large numbers of criminal cases and other concerns, trials could suffer, with civil trials in particular lagging behind or not getting the attention they deserve.
“So far we're OK, but it will present a problem at some time,” Silver said. “We are required to act fairly in every criminal case, but there's only so much we can do.”
The emergency cannot be renewed for six months after it expires. Silver said that if things don't improve, officials will have to consider the possibility of renewing.
“There was a reason for it last year, and I expect there'll be a reason for it this year,” she said.

Thanks for the update EC. I thought they had caught up some, but I guess not. Little worry about a bunch of airline pilots when there are people's rights are at stake.
Time to test the new servers link abilities......

Really? Just 6 posts into your journey here you set this course? Really?
Ok. I get it. Move2Clt and Fodase have dropped the ball and vacated the hospitality sunshine brigade chairmanship so you are taking up the slack!
Carry on; make them proud!

I don't think she shares our sense of urgency. The justice system operates on the same clock as my doctor and the Department of Motor Vehicles. I guess we just wait. There are consequences for cutting in line.
being that it is summer time....maybe Move is on one of his 4.5 vacation weeks that easily turn into 18 days off with PBS.
How is that LOA93 thing working out for you??
I assume by your being here to post...not so good.
