biz.yahoo.com Mikros Systems Corporation Receives New Contract Thursday May 3, 12:45 pm ET PRINCETON, N.J., May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mikros Systems Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: MKRS - News) announced today that it was awarded a $2.4 million contract from the Naval Surface Weapons Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD) for the continuing development of ADEPT®. ADEPT is Mikros' automated maintenance tool designed to reduce significantly the man- hours required to align the AN/SPY-1 Radar System aboard U.S. Navy AEGIS cruisers and destroyer while optimizing system performance and readiness. NSWC PHD is the U.S. Navy's In-Service Engineering Agency (ISEA) for the AN/SPY-1 Radar System. ADVERTISEMENT This contract provides for the continuing development of advanced capabilities for ADEPT, the finalizing of an ADEPT Integrated Logistics Support Plan required for fleet fielding, and the Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) of ten (10) ADEPT(V)2 units which are half the size and weight of the original ADEPT(V)1 while maintaining the same functionality. The contract follows successful testing and evaluation of ADEPT on one AEGIS cruiser along with testing at the Navy's AN/SPY-1 Cruiser Modernization Test Facility in Moorestown, NJ. It is expected that the ADEPT equipment will initially be installed on AEGIS cruisers undergoing modernization with introduction into the destroyers to follow. The entire U.S. Navy AEGIS fleet consists of 22 cruisers and 62 destroyers.

I live in North Carolina and thought a game in my dining room was getting busted when police showed up at midnight. Luckily I had the curtains closed; the police said there were complaints about my guests parking in the wrong place. No problem. They moved their cars. But what I am writing about is to ask for tips on the Derby. I meant to ask earlier in the week. Maybe you are not following it this year? This morning I went short (puts on FXI) the Shanghai stock market, which has quadrupled in less than two years. The market is ending a week-long holiday next Monday. FXI is up today last time I looked. People who buy an ETF for China during a seven-day break are a teeny bit confident, don't you think? Uranium starts trading on the Nymex on Monday. Or rather, paper certificates based on the price of uranium. I won't be trading those, but I am bullish on uranium even though it's been wilder on the upside than Shanghai.
