Boeing alleged the air force should have considered that Northrops failure to use high-level engineers would multiply technical risk and should have considered the increased risk in the technical capability evaluation.But the GAO panned this portion of Boeings argument, stating that it saw no support that the air force failed to account for technical risk in its cost analysis. In a revised proposal, Northrop quelled the air forces concern that its labour force consisted of too many low-level design engineers. Second, to the extent to revised cost evaluation cited a concern regarding Northrops actual labour rates, the Air Force considered and accounted for this risk by making corresponding upward adjustments to Northrops labor costs, the GAO states.

Turkeys mature on a two-year cycle. We need a normal year to rebound, but were not in a crisis mode, Sullivan said. We wont worry unless we have three or four bad years in a row. Turkeys rebound quickly. There were a few pockets of normal reproduction last year, such as inland Down East along Route 1, but many areas were inundated by rain, he said.This spring, turkeys will st
