Against tough odds, Sarkozy is seeking second term (AP)

PARIS ? Nicolas Sarkozy threw himself Wednesday into what may be the toughest fight of his political career: Unpopular for years and running a feeble economy, the divisive French president announced he's running for a second term.

The man who improved French relations with the United States, rallied European leaders to ward off financial meltdown and kicked off international airstrikes in Libya is widely disliked back at home. Polls suggest his Socialist challenger will be the one attending world summits come May.

But Sarkozy is not one to give up easily. He pledged Wednesday to get the jobless back in the workforce and new reforms to ensure a "strong France" and that the French "way of life" can survive the 21st century.

"Yes, I am a candidate," he said on national TV network TF1 on Wednesday night, ending weeks of largely artificial suspense over whether he would run.

Pollsters say the president will face an uphill battle to convince voters that they should elect him again. He has only two months to change minds: The first round of the two-round vote is April 22.

For months polls have shown Sarkozy well behind Socialist Francois Hollande, who has threatened to roll back Sarkozy's reforms and is campaigning against "the world of finance." Sarkozy also has lost ground to far-right candidate Marine Le Pen of the resurgent, anti-immigrant National Front party.

A man usually more brash than humble, Sarkozy admitted Wednesday that he hasn't accomplished all he set out to when he was elected in 2007 on a wave of hope for change that would rekindle France's pride and enhance its global influence.

Five years later, France is struggling to emerge from its worst recession since World War II and the French are disillusioned. Jobless rates are nearly 10 percent, Europe's economic future is uncertain and huge government debt cost the country its prized AAA credit rating with Standard & Poor's.

In his announcement Wednesday, Sarkozy blamed French voters' troubles in part on three years of financial woes and said he would focus on getting more people working. "France cannot pretend that the crisis doesn't exist," Sarkozy said. "We have to continue to make changes."

He only outlined one solid proposal, however: a referendum on unemployment benefits and training the unemployed.

Now that he's officially a candidate, his challengers quickly lit into him. His tenure has been a "fiasco," Hollande said at a huge, boisterous rally in northern France. Le Pen criticized his "false modesty" and said he couldn't make the French forget "the serious failures" of his term.

France's two-round presidential ballot in April and May is likely to have an impact throughout the European Union. Sarkozy has been closely involved in the fight to save the euro amid a sovereign debt crisis in the bloc that has affected markets worldwide.

Earlier Wednesday, Sarkozy launched a personal Twitter account ? with the handle NicolasSarkozy ? and thanked all those "who will kindly follow me." Tens of thousands of followers joined within hours.

Sarkozy's candidacy had become one of France's worst-kept political secrets. Within minutes of his announcement, his new campaign team sent an invitation to his first rally, in the Alpine town of Annecy on Thursday.

Pollsters suggest that Sarkozy's political problems are as much of his own making as France's economic woes. Critics say Sarkozy failed to deliver on promises to improve purchasing power, hiked his own salary, and infused the gilded presidential palace with "bling" that was ill-suited for France's cultural self-image.

On the night of his 2007 election, he celebrated at one of Paris' most glitzy restaurants; before taking office, he jetted off to spend a few days on a yacht owned by a super-rich French industrialist friend.

Later in 2007, Sarkozy divorced his longtime wife and began courting Italian former supermodel Carla Bruni ? including trips to Disneyland Paris and the Middle East with reporters in tow. In early 2008, Sarkozy crudely insulted a passer-by at Paris' biggest agricultural fair, an incident caught on videotape that led many to doubt his presidential caliber.

Internationally, Sarkozy has drawn plaudits. While holding France's EU presidency, he took a key mediating role to ease tensions after the brief war between Georgia and Russia. Last year, he committed French soldiers to help support the overthrow of entrenched autocrats in Libya and Ivory Coast. He brought France back into NATO's top echelons in 2009.

Polls indicate that Hollande and Sarkozy could finish first and second in the first-round vote and then go head-to-head May 6 in the runoff. One poll last week put Hollande a staggering 20 points ahead of Sarkozy in a theoretical second round.

Sarkozy beat Hollande's former longtime partner, Socialist Segolene Royal, in the 2007 elections. Now, amid worldwide frustration at financial markets and big money, many French voters now appear ready to hand the presidency of their nuclear-armed nation to the left for the first time since the 1980s.

Airlines forecast to buy $3.5T of new jets by 2030

(AP) ? Global airlines will need $3.5 trillion of new planes through 2030, with more than a third of that demand coming from Asia, Airbus's chief executive said Wednesday.

The aviation industry will require 27,800 new planes of 100-plus seating capacity between 2010 and 2030 while Asia will likely take delivery of about 9,370 of those planes worth $1.3 trillion, CEO Tom Enders said.

"Our business isn't moving to the East, it has moved to the East," Enders said during a news conference at the Singapore Airshow. "We're focused on Asia because that's where most of our growth comes from."

Airbus is wrestling longtime rival Boeing for the burgeoning Asian market. Asia provided half of Airbus's 1,600 firm orders last year. Boeing scored its biggest deal ever in November when Indonesian budget carrier Lion Air agreed to buy 230 planes for $22 billion.

Boeing said earlier this week it expects airlines will need 33,500 new planes worth $4 trillion by 2030, with Asia accounting for about 35 percent of that total.

Asia is expected to account for 33 percent of global air passengers by 2030, up from a current 28 percent, according to Airbus. Europe will likely drop to 23 percent from 27 percent and the U.S. will fall to 20 percent from 27 percent, Airbus said.

Enders reiterated that Airbus is fixing small cracks found on the wings of some of its A380s. Airbus is inspecting all 69 A380s it has delivered so far after carriers such as Singapore Airlines and Qantas reported small wing fissures in December.

Airbus delivered 22 of the super jumbos to Asian carriers last year and expects to deliver 30 more worldwide this year.

"We made a mistake and it will cost the company quite some money," Enders said, declining to specify how much money. "We understand the root causes and we'll soon have a final fix."

"This plane is absolutely safe to fly," he said.

The A320neo, which seats up to 180 passengers, has become a favorite of Asia's growing budget airline sector. Airbus delivered 546 of the planes to Asia last year.

Asian banks are also taking a bigger role in financing plane purchases, accounting for 20 percent of deliveries to the region last year, Enders said.

"If we should lose some financing capacity in Europe, I'm quite confident we can substitute that in Asia," Enders said.

Enders said Airbus isn't worried that orders may fall this year as the global economy slows because the company has an order backlog of 4,500 planes and is currently producing about 550 a year.

"We're really not concerned if we have a year or two where the order intake is considerably less than 2011," Enders said.

No large new plane orders have been announced so far at the Singapore Airshow, which runs February 14 to 19.

France-based Airbus is the world's largest aircraft manufacturer. Chicago-based Boeing is the second-largest.

Spaceflight Now | Atlas Launch Report | Atlas 5 rocket topped with ...

Atlas 5 rocket topped with Navy?s newest satellite BY JUSTIN RAYSPACEFLIGHT NOWPosted: February 6, 2012;Updated @ 6:30 p.m. EST with confirmation of payload attachment complete

Looking towards launch next week to begin dramatically improving the capacity for U.S. military mobile communications, a new breed of satellite was hauled to the towering Atlas 5 rocket assembly building today for mounting atop the powerful booster.

File image of Atlas payload arriving at the VIF. Credit: NASA-KSC?the Navy?s first Mobile User Objective System satellite, dubbed MUOS 1, is scheduled for blastoff next Thursday, Feb. 16, at sunset from Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

The 44-minute launch window stretches from 5:46 to 6:30 p.m. EST (2246-2330 GMT). Given the sunset time of 6:13 p.m., a liftoff anytime in the window could be spectacular as the 206-foot-tall rocket rises on a pillar or fire and smoke, weather permitting, of course.

With just 10 days left until flight, MUOS 1 took a middle-of-the-night road trip from the commercially-run Astrotech satellite processing campus in Titusville to the launch site aboard a trailer-like transporter.

The slow-moving drive crossed the river, went northward through Kennedy Space Center, passed by the Vehicle Assembly Building and the old space shuttle launch pad before cruising down along the beach to the Atlas rocket?s Vertical Integration Facility.

MUOS 1 was delivered to the Cape on Dec. 15 from Lockheed Martin?s factory in Sunnyvale, California, arriving inside an Air Force transport aircraft. the shipping crate was taken to Astrotech where the craft was unboxed for final testing, loaded with maneuvering propellants and encapsulated in the rocket?s nose cone.

Check out this photo gallery of MUOS 1 being nestled into the Swiss-made launch shroud last week.

? Delta File image of payload being hoisted atop Atlas 5 rocket. Credit: NASA-KSC?after pulling up to the doorway of the Vertical Integration Facility this morning, technicians went to work attaching the heavy-duty lifting sling to hoist the spacecraft in the bullet-shaped fairing off the ground and atop the Centaur upper stage.

The United Launch Alliance-made rocket was assembled inside the VIF aboard a mobile launching platform over the past several weeks. It was wheeled out to the launch pad one-third-of-a-mile away last Monday for a countdown dress rehearsal and fueling exercise Tuesday before returning to the building on Wednesday to await the MUOS 1 installation.

Mating of the payload to the rocket was completed this afternoon, and then work began to affix the nose cone?s ogive section to the lower base of the fairing.

Functional checks of the spacecraft and the combined systems test between MUOS and the Atlas vehicle will occur this week to verify the payload and rocket are talking to each other properly.

The fully stacked rocket, now standing 20 stories tall, features a main stage fed with refined kerosene and liquid oxygen, five strap-on solid propellant boosters, the liquid hydrogen-powered cryogenic Centaur upper stage and a composite payload shroud 16 feet in diameter.

Rollout to the pad for launch is slated for next Wednesday morning, leading to the 7-hour countdown sequence picking up Thursday at 10:46 a.m. Fueling operations begin shortly before 4 p.m. EST.

This is the largest, most energetic version of the Atlas 5 rocket currently available. the so-called 551 configuration has been used only twice in the previous 28 flights by the vehicle, launching NASA?s new Horizons probe to Pluto in 2006 and the Jupiter-bound Juno orbiter last August.

File image of an Atlas 5-551 blasting off with Juno. Credit: Justin Ray/Spaceflight Now?Tipping the scales at nearly 15,000 pounds, the MUOS spacecraft needs that kind of power and three firings by the Centaur upper stage over the course of three hours to reach its targeted geosynchronous transfer orbit of 22,237 by 2,152 statute miles at 19 degrees inclination. A typical Atlas 5 ascent uses only two burns.

The craft?s size also means the medium-length option in the range of Atlas nose cones was picked for this launch that features a 9-foot extension over the usual choice.

In its launch configuration with the two power-generating solar arrays stowed on the sides, MUOS is 22 feet tall, 12 feet wide and 6 feet deep.

A pair of gold mesh antenna reflectors, built by Harris Corp., at the heart of the satellite?s communications payload will be unfurled like umbrellas on deployable boom assemblies once in space. Coverage to legacy users will transmit through a 17.7-foot-diameter reflector on the bottom of the craft and the advanced, multi-beam features of MUOS to significantly increase the transmission capacity over the Navy?s previous satellites will use a large 46-foot reflector atop the satellite.

Lockheed Martin is producing five MUOS satellites ? four primes and one in-orbit spare ? to replace the Navy?s current generation of Ultra High Frequency Follow-On spacecraft that were launched by Atlas rockets from 1993 through 2003. Eight of the 11 satellites remain in operation today.

The sophisticated MUOS system was designed around the commercial 3G cellular telephone architecture to substantially increase the number of users and amount of communications that can be routed to military forces.

?MUOS is designed to allow backward compatibility with legacy UHF terminals while providing a next generation waveform to support ?communications on the move? capabilities,? said Mark Pasquale, Lockheed Martin vice president and MUOS program manager. ?This ensures that legacy systems remain compatible with the MUOS architecture, while offering the technological advancements needed by its military users.?

an artist?s concept of MUOS. Credit: Lockheed Martin?MUOS will offer 10 times greater communications capacity to the mobile warfighter over the UHF F/O constellation to relay narrowband tactical information such as voice calls, data messaging, file transfers and email on rates of up to 384 Kilobits per second. It also enables users to communicate with smaller devices.

?Utilizing commercial 3G cell phone and satellite technology, MUOS will provide warfighters ?on the move? point-to-point and netted communications services at enhanced data rates and priority-based access to on-demand voice, video and data transfers,? said Pasquale.

It will take about three months to maneuver the craft into the proper orbital position and conduct in-space testing before becoming operational.

?A single MUOS satellite provides more communication access than the current UHF constellation. this capability is critical to the U.S. military because they depend on reliable, targeted communication to complete missions and to protect service members worldwide,? said Pasquale.

?MUOS is designed to support those requirements by providing users narrowband communications with greater mobility, higher data rates and improved operational availability.?

? Delta MUOS 1 during encapsulation within Atlas nose cone. Credit: ULA?the Navy says approximately 67,000 UHF user terminals are deployed across the military branches serving around the world, many of them carried deep into theaters of operation.

The UHF communications provide command and control between combatant leaders and their warfighters, connectivity to tactical forces, communications for Special Operations and support to rapid deployments of land, air and naval forces worldwide.

Military officials have stressed the need for additional UHF channels to supply the diverse users of the system, something that MUOS is designed to give.

?The UHF spectrum is the military?s communications workhorse because it is the only radio frequency that can penetrate jungle foliage, inclement weather and urban terrain,? says the Navy.

The launch comes just a month after the Air Force deployed the latest in its growing fleet of Wideband Global SATCOM spacecraft offering X- and Ka-band frequencies to provide very high data rates up to 3.6 Gigabits per second for routing voluminous amounts of communications ? like large intelligence files and weather information ? to the battlefield and providing the links to and from the military?s remotely-controlled aerial drones patrolling global hotspots.

MUOS, on the other hand, is geared toward to mobile receivers using lower-data-rate communications than WGS.

The military?s other major communications satellite program, the Advanced Extremely High Frequency system to provide highly secure, jam resistant links between the president and military leaders will be launching its second satellite on the subsequent Atlas 5 rocket at the end of April.

Those following the progress of radio scan may need to check out ham radio exam too. Ham radio tests is my ace up my sleeve. Ham radio classifieds is an overlooked mechanism to increase the power of used ham radio. In reality, I was just excited as to digital radio scanners at the time. The only mystery I've found with ham radio operator is that this is really temporary. It's why this is significant to get a good ham radio kits and experiment until you discover the best what is ham radio. You aren't nuts, are you? This is a wide open field currently but also granted, ham radio antenna isn't just part of the solution, that's also part of the problem. Blokes agree on radioscanner. By the way, "No man is an island." Going back to my experiences with radio scan, what I have is an affection for about radio frequency.

The Roots pay tribute to Houston at pre-Grammy jam (AP)

LOS ANGELES ? The Roots saved some of their love for Whitney Houston.

After being joined by singer Elle Varner on stage early Sunday at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip, the band launched into Houston's 1985 hit "Saving All My Love For You" during their 8th annual pre-Grammy concert.

There were no mournful speeches or moments of silence ? just a simple, soulful rendition of a Houston classic.

"I'm old school," said beatboxer Rahzel earlier in the evening. "Rest in peace, Whitney Houston."

The Roots took the stage just before midnight Saturday, hours after the world learned of the death of the 48-year-old pop-music queen. Other guests who grooved with the band for their pre-Grammy jam session tradition included Pras, Trombone Shorty, India.Arie, Childish Gambino and Shaggy, who delivered his hits "Boombastic" and "It Wasn't Me."

"Saving All My Love For You" wasn't the only cover the eclectic hip-hop band served the audience. The Roots also performed a staggering mash-up of Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child o' Mine," George Thorogood and the Destroyers' "Bad to the Bone" and Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love?"

Before the concert, Houston's "I'm Your Baby Tonight" was mixed in with the other songs pumped into the intimate venue as the crowd awaited the Roots' appearance. Several members of the audience cheered and sang the infectious Houston tune in unison.
