In contrast, the airlines want each parties' depositions limited to 10, although they agree additional depositions should be allowed for persons on a party's final witness list who have not been deposed. However, they said all depositions should be limited Richie Incognito Black Jersey to seven hours.
In an order issued Thursday, KollarKotelly appeared to be favoring a trial date on the earlier side. She called on the parties to "immediately begin serving written discovery to the extent possible." She added that the DOJ and the seven state attorneys general suing to block the merger would be permitted to propose up to 10 interrogatory questions to each of the two airlines. The airlines are allowed to propose up to 15 interrogatory questions to the plaintiffs DOJ and states collectively.
She also directed the parties to be prepared to address a number of issues, all indicating a desire to speed the proceeding along, if possible. For instance, they are expected to be prepared to address the scope of documents the Department of Justice has already obtained from the airlines and third parties prior to filing suit as well as the identities of individuals the DOJ already has deposed.
The Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) is one of the three primary commissioning sources for officers in the United States Air Force, the other two being the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) and Air Force Officer Training School (OTS). A subordinate command of the Air University within the Air Education and Training Command (AETC), AFROTC is aligned under the Jeanne M. Holm Center for Officer Accessions and Citizen Development at Maxwell AFB, Alabama. The Holm Center, formerly known as the Air Force Officer Accession and Training Schools (AFOATS), retains direct responsibility for both AFROTC and OTS. Air Force. AFROTC units are located on 144 college and university campuses with 984 additional institutions of higher learning participating in crosstown agreements that allow their students to attend AFROTC classes at a nearby "host" college or university .[1] According to AFOATS HQ, in 2006, AFROTC commissioned 2,083 USAF Second Lieutenants, with AFROTC enrollment ranging from 23,605 in 1985 to 10,231 in 1993, and around 13,000 enrolled today.
AFROTC units at colleges and universities are called "detachments," and are typically headed by an active duty USAF officer in the rank of colonel or lieutenant colonel who functions as both the Detachment Commander for USAF purposes and with the nominal title of Professor of Aerospace Studies (PAS) within the institution's academic community. Most colleges and universities will designate the AFROTC detachment as the Department of Aerospace Studies. The PAS is assisted by three to four Assistant Professors of Aerospace Studies (APAS), all active duty USAF officers in the ranks of major or captain. Three USAF noncommissioned officers and one senior noncommissioned officer will typically provide military administrative support and are often augmented by one to two civilian staff support employees of the academic institution.
Aerospace Studies (AS)
Aerospace Studies (AS) classes are the academic portion of AFROTC. The General Military Course (GMC) is a twoyear course, consisting of AS100 and AS200 cadets, designed to motivate and prepare cadets for entry into the Professional Officer Course (POC). Each AS100 and AS200 course is designed as a weekly, one academichour course. The POC is a twoyear course, consisting of AS300 and AS400, designed to prepare cadets for active duty as Air Force officers. Each course in the POC is designed as a weekly, three academichour course.[4] Specific topics covered in the AS classes are as follows:
AS100 Foundations of the Air Force: Structure and missions of Air Force organizations, officership, and professionalism. Introduction to communication skills.
AS200 The Evolution of Aerospace Studies: Beginnings of manned flight and the development of aerospace power from World War I to presentday current operations.
AS300 Leadership Studies: Anatomy of leadership, role of discipline in leadership situations, and the variable affecting leadership. Case studies and practical application in . The current AS300 curriculum was previously taught as the AS400 curriculum until the 1990s, when it was shifted to the junior year.
AS400 National Security Studies and Preparation for Active Duty: The role of the professional military leaders in a democratic society, international developments on strategic preparedness, and activeduty assignment preparation.[5] The National Security Studies portion of the current AS400 curriculum was previously taught as the AS300 curriculum until the 1990s, when it was shifted to the senior year.
The AS400 program also previously included a single academic term Flight Instruction Program (FIP) private pilot ground school course. This course was mandatory for all cadets slated for undergraduate pilot training on graduation who did not already hold a private pilot certificate or higher, and was optional for all other cadets. FIP was eliminated from AFROTC in 1991. is a weekly 2hour pass/fail class that trains and prepares cadets for Field Training (FT), develops leadership skills, and promotes Espirit de Corps among all cadets. At some universities, Brian Hartline Authentic Jersey credit hours may be given for completing LLAB; oftentimes universities only give credit hours for completing AS classes. For GMC cadets, LLAB provides new cadets with basic skills and knowledge to be a functional member of the cadet corps, prepares them in Warrior Knowledge and Drill and Ceremonies (marching), and teaches leadership, followership, and teamwork skills. For POC cadets, LLAB furthers leadership and followership skills learned at FT by planning and implementing the activities under the supervision of the activeduty cadre.[4]
Specific LLAB activities are determined by the detachments themselves and thus vary across the nation. Some specific activities include: Field trips to Air Force bases and stations (to include Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard installations), Field Days, physical fitness tests and competitions, Drill and Ceremonies, leadershipbuilding exercises, and Air Force officer career days.[6]AFROTC offers a variety of highly competitive college scholarships, ranging from 3year and 4year scholarships offered to graduating high school seniors, 2year and 3year scholarships to http://www.dolphinsofficialnflstore.com college students enrolled as AFROTC cadets, and 2, 3 and 4year scholarships offered to enlisted military personnel.
AFROTC Scholarships offered to high school seniors are categorized as follows:
Type 1: Pays full college tuition, most Brian Hartline Black Jersey fees and $900 per year for books.

Type 2: Pays college tuition and most fees up to $18,000 per year and $900 per year for books. Approximately http://www.dolphinsofficialnflstore.com/22-jamar-taylor-jersey-authentic-black-limited-cheap.html 20% of AFROTC fouryear scholarship winners will be offered a Type 2 scholarship, again, mostly in technical fields. If a student attends an institution where the tuition exceeds $18,000 per year, then he/she pays the difference. All threeyear scholarships are Type 2.
Type 7: Pays college tuition up to the equivalent of the instate rate and $900 per year for books. If a student receives a Type 7 offer but wishes to attend a college/university where they do not qualify under the guidelines above, the student can convert the fouryear Type 7 scholarship to a threeYear Type 2 scholarship. A Type 7 scholarship cannot be activated at a nonqualifying school where the student pays the difference.[7]

It is starting to look as if the Dallas Cowboys will have quarterback Tony Romo on the field for Monday night's contest against the undefeated Washington Redskins.
It is a host of other injuries that could deny Dallas its first victory in its third home opener at new Cowboys Stadium, however. The lack of healthy bodies could also lead to Washington's first 30 start in six years.
After taking some heat for late mistakes in a Week 1 loss to the New York Jets, Romo suffered a fractured rib and pneumothorax early on in last Sunday's meeting with San Francisco. He missed nearly all of the third quarter, but returned to the game and helped rally his club to a 2724 victory in overtime, hitting Jesse Holley on a 77yard pass to set up Dan Bailey's 19yard game winning field goal.
Bailey forced OT when he connected on a 48yard kick as time expired in the fourth quarter.
"That was a great win for a lot of different reasons," said Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett. "We talk all the time that it takes everybody (to win) and we certainly found that out (Sunday)."
Romo did not practice on Thursday or Friday, but reports have indicated that his lung injury has healed. Therefore, it could just be a case of how much pain he can tolerate in his rib area as to whether he can start or not on Monday night.
Jon Kitna replaced Romo during his absence on Sunday and would get the nod versus the Redskins if the Dallas starter can't way.
While Kitna is preparing in case he has to start, he isn't counting his teammate out.
"I think (Cowboys owner) Jerry (Jones) said it best, it's really Tony's decision for how he feels he can execute. So we'll see what happens," said Kitna. I fully expect him to play."
If Romo isn't able to go, he would have plenty of company on the Dallas sidelines. Starting guard Derrick Dockery (fractured tibia/MCL sprain) and wide receiver Miles Austin (hamstring) are both expected to miss the game, while wideout Dez Bryant could sit out his second game in a row due to a quadriceps ailment. Center Phil Costa (knee) and running back Felix Jones (shoulder) are also questionable, though cornerback Terence Newman is likely to make his season debut after missing the first two contests with a groin issue.
With the Cowboys ailing, the Redskins will try to take an early edge in the NFC East and improve to 30 for the first time since 2005. They hadn't won their first two games of the season since 2007 before this one, and will try to win their first two division games in backtoback years for the first time since 197374.
Washington found the victory column in Week 1 against the fellow NFC East member New York Giants before Jamar Taylor Black Jersey winning its second straight at home to start the year with a comefrombehind 2221 triumph over the Arizona Cardinals last weekend.
Quarterback Rex Grossman led the comeback by hitting Santana Moss for an 18 yard touchdown on 4thand3 early in the fourth quarter before engineering a drive that set up Graham Gano's 34yard field goal with under two minutes left in regulation.
"We feel good about where we're going," said Grossman afterward. "We feel we're heading in the right direction. We have a lot to get Jamar Taylor Authentic Jersey better on, but at the same time we feel excited that we're headed in the right direction."
Redskins safety LaRon Landry was inactive for a second straight week due to an Achilles' injury, but thinks he can play on Monday for the first time since Nov. The Redskins' lone victory over that stretch occurred in last year's season opener, a 137 decision at FedEx Field, with Dallas exacting revenge via a 3330 home triumph in Week 15. The Cowboys swept their 2009 season set with Washington, and the Redskins have left with a loss in four of their last five visits to Dallas, with the lone win a 2624 verdict in 2008.
Washington has prevailed in each of its two previous postseason clashes with Dallas, besting the Cowboys in both the 1972 and 1982 NFC Championship Games.
Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan owns a 42 lifetime record against Dallas, including a 31 mark during his 14year tenure with the Denver Broncos from 199508, and had defeated the Cowboys four straight times prior to last December's setback. Garrett won his only headtohead matchup with both Washington and Shanahan with the abovementioned Week 15 result from last season.
WHEN THE REDSKINS HAVE THE BALL
While Grossman (596 passing yards, 4 TD, 2 INT) rightfully received a lot of credit for last week's win, the Redskins also rode the legs of running backs Tim Hightower and rookie Roy Helu to a total of 170 yards on the ground. Hightower (168 rushing yards, 1 TD) got the bulk of the work with 20 carries for 96 yards, while Helu added 10 totes for 74 yards. Grossman, though, threw for both of Washington's touchdowns, connecting with both Moss and tight end Fred Davis. He finished with 291 passing yards and extended Washington's franchise record of consecutive games with a touchdown pass to 17, but was also picked off twice. Dallas will have to be aware of Washington's dual tightend threat of Davis (11 receptions, 1 TD) and Chris Cooley (2 receptions), with Davis recording a teamleading six catches for 86 yards against Arizona and topping all Redskin players in receiving yards in both games so far this year. Cooley and Moss (11 receptions, 1 TD) both have six career touchdown catches against the Cowboys, while both Moss and Jabar Gaffney (8 receptions, 1 TD) made five catches for over 60 yards in last Sunday's victory.
Despite the close score last week, the Cowboys' defense limited the 49ers to just 206 yards of offense, while running back Frank Gore had only 47 yards on 20 carries. Washington's tendency to run the ball will keep nose tackle Jay Ratliff (5 tackles, 1 sack) and linebackers Bradie James (3 tackles) and Sean Lee (23 tackles, 1 INT) busy for another week. Dallas would love to simulate the pressure it got last Sunday, when it sacked San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith six times and grabbed one interception. Cornerback Alan Ball (8 tackles, 1 INT) had the pick, while right end Jason Hatcher (7 tackles, 2 sacks) and outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware (6 tackles, 4 sacks) finished with two sacks each. Ratliff and linebacker Anthony Spencer (5 tackles, 2 sacks) also had sacks, while Lee matched a gamehigh with 10 tackles and safety Gerald Sensabaugh (8 tackles) was second with five.
WHEN THE COWBOYS HAVE THE BALL
While Kitna is a veteran backup, the Cowboys are a better club with Romo (687 passing yards, 4 TD, 1 INT) under center. He threw for 345 yards on 20of33 passing versus the 49ers, tossing a pair of touchdown strikes to Austin (14 receptions, 4 TD) as well. Kitna also completed a scoring throw http://www.dolphinsofficialnflstore.com to Austin, giving the wide receiver a new career high, but was 6of10 passing with two interceptions. Austin had a big game with nine catches and 143 yards, but former reality star Holley (3 receptions) and Kevin Ogletree (4 receptions) will need to step up if both he and Bryant (3 receptions, 1 TD) miss the game. Tight end Jason Witten (13 receptions) will also serve as a safety net for either Romo or Kitna after making seven catches for 102 yards last week. Felix Jones (69 rushing yards, 1 TD) led the Cowboys with just 25 rushing yards on nine carries against San Francisco, while rookie DeMarco Murray had six carries for 21 yards. Tashard Choice would likely see a bigger role in the offense if Jones is unable to play or limited.
Washington will have a heavy hitter in its secondary if Landry can play for the first time in almost a year and line up with free safety Oshiomogho Atogwe (9 tackles) for the first time this season. The Redskins could also use the help after watching Arizona wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald post 133 receiving yards last week, a healthy portion of that coming on a 73yard touchdown. Washington did an otherwise decent job on Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb, sacking him three times and notching an interception. Linebacker London Fletcher (14 tackles, 1 INT) grabbed the 17th pick of his career in the win, while rookie linebacker Ryan Kerrigan (8 tackles, 1 INT) had the first sack of his career. Fellow linebackers Rocky McIntosh (15 tackles, 1 sack) and Brian Orakpo (4 tackles, 1 sack) also got to Kolb, with McIntosh leading the way with eight tackles. Safety Reed Doughty (17 tackles) added six stops, while both Fletcher and cornerback DeAngelo Hall (10 tackles) finished with five tackles.
KEYS TO THE GAME
The Redskins have done a great job keeping opposing offenses off the field this year. Their offense ranks sixth in the NFL with 25 first downs per game and is tops in the league in time of possession at 35 minutes and 33 seconds. On the other side, Washington's defense is fourth in the league with just 15.5 first downs allowed per game.
If he does play, Washington will need to get to Romo quickly and legally to make it a long night for the quarterback. Dallas' http://www.dolphinsofficialnflstore.com/95-dion-jordan-jersey-authentic-black-limited-cheap.html offensive line already features rookies at both right tackle (Tyron Smith) and left guard (Bill Nagy), so the loss of Dockery hurts. If the Redskins don't hit Romo early, they run the risk of letting him get comfortable and painfree.
Dallas' secondary will also need to stop the Redskins' run game and force Grossman into making some mistakes. It failed to handle the quarterback the last time he faced the Cowboys, as Grossman connected on four touchdown passes in that meeting last December.
