DTN News - DEFENSE NEWS: Principle Agreement Reached On Two Lower Cost F-35 Contracts

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - August 3, 2013: The U.S. Department of Defense and Lockheed Martin reached an agreement in principle for the next two F-35 Lightning II aircraft production contracts (Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) lots 6 and 7), which is expected to include 71 stealth fighter aircraft and continue a reduction in F-35 aircraft pricing. The contracting effort spanned six months from proposal to settlement.

A decrease in F-35 LRIP 6-7 unit costs, coupled with negotiating lower prices on a number of other smaller contracts, will allow the Department to purchase all the aircraft originally planned, including those that were in jeopardy of being cut due to sequestration budget impacts.

DTN News - BALI KITE FESTIVAL: Balinese Enjoying The Bali Kite Festival In Sanur, Bali, Indonesia

DTN News - BALI KITE FESTIVAL: Balinese Enjoying The Bali Kite Festival In Sanur, Bali, Indonesia

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - July 26, 2013:  Balinese prepare to fly their traditional kites during the Bali Kite Festival in Sanur, Bali, Indonesia.

The 35th Annual Bali Kite Festival, also known as the Sanur Kite Festival. The Balinese are mad about kites and in the “Island of the Gods” the bigger the better is the norm. Kite flying and kite making is serious business. Forget childhood memories of a tiny kite with trailing ribbons; in Bali kites are huge handmade flying machines that take a team to get them off the ground.

The event, on Padang Galak beach in Sanur, will be the 34th year of this is a global happening, attracting over 1,200 kites in competition and up to 10,000 spectators. The whole process of designing, constructing and flying a kite in competition is a real team effort by whole villages. The whole community shows up complete with its own traditional gamelan orchestra to literally drum up support manically while sweet young things offer much needed cheerleading duties.

As with every facet of Balinese life, kite flying is steeped in religious symbolism. It was originally used as a way to pass on messages to the Gods, and traditional kites, which take the form of fish (Bebean) and birds (Janggan) depict Hindu deities.

DTN News - EGYPT DEFENSE NEWS: US Delays Delivery of F-16 Jets Due To Egypt Unrest

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - July 24, 2013: The US says it is delaying the delivery of four F-16 fighter jets to Egypt amid unrest following the army's overthrow of Mohammed Morsi as president.

Pentagon spokesman George Little said the decision was made "given the current situation in Egypt".

The US is examining whether Mr Morsi's removal was a coup, which would trigger a legal requirement to cut off aid.

Earlier, Egypt's army chief called for protests to give the military a mandate to confront "potential terrorism".

But Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said he was not calling for public unrest and he urged national reconciliation.

In response, the Muslim Brotherhood, which backs Mr Morsi, said Gen Sisi was "calling for civil war".

The four F-16 jets are part of an already agreed bigger order of 20 planes, eight of which have already been sent to Egypt.

DTN News - FINANCIAL CRISIS: Bankrupt Detroit Cannot Wait For Federal Cavalry-City Manager

DTN News - FINANCIAL CRISIS: Bankrupt Detroit Cannot Wait For Federal Cavalry-City Manager

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - July 21, 2013: Detroit must dig itself out of the hole it created and cannot wait to see if the federal government will come to its rescue, the city's emergency manager said on Sunday.

Kevyn Orr, charged with guiding the collapsed Motor City out of the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history, said any outside assistance would be "great" but he is not banking on it.

"Hope is not a strategy from my perspective. I can't plan on the basis of what may or may not happen or what help may or may not come," Orr said on "Fox News Sunday."

"We are not expecting the cavalry to come charging in," he said. "We have to fix it because we dug the hole."

Detroit filed for bankruptcy on Thursday, setting the stage for a costly court battle with creditors and opening a new chapter in the long struggle to revive the cradle of America's auto industry.

If approved by a federal judge, the bankruptcy would force Detroit's thousands of creditors into negotiations with Orr to resolve an estimated $18.5 billion in debt.
