A 68 year old Engineer Scientist filed an Age discrimination claime against Boeing who not only gets away with shameless actions but got rewarded attorneys fees in an “ORDER GRANTING JUDGMENT FOR DEFENDANT THE BOEING COMPANY “ DOCKETED ON CM ON April 22 2005.

(PRWEB) April 27, 2005 — A 68 year old woman, who takes care of her 97 year old mother and worked for more than 30 years as an Engineer Scientist for the United States Space Program including National Missile Defense at Boeing was presented with a layoff notice on April 6, 2001. This layoff notice had a termination date of June 8, 2001, just five days before her 65th birthday. The calculated timing of her layoff disqualified her of a retirement plan that could pay her $1,200.00 monthly plus some health insurance benefit. Instead she is receiving $725.00 monthly benefits and no health benefits.

On August 2002 she filed an Age discrimination in the United States District Court, Central District of California in Santa Ana. Case Number SA02-753 AHS (MLGx). The Court process became a real life “David and Goliath” where the “Goliath” - Boeing – not only gets away with shameless actions but gets rewarded with attorneys fees in an “ORDER GRANTING JUDGMENT FOR DEFENDANT THE BOEING COMPANY “ DOCKETED ON CM ON April 22 2005.

Choice of OCI builds on firm’s earlier successful development
of real-time securities trading based on McObject’s eXtremeDB

(PRWEB) January 10, 2005 — McObject has chosen Object Computing Inc., a St. Louis-based software systems consultancy, as a McObject Solution Provider. Under the arrangement, OCI becomes a preferred provider of consulting and services for McObject’s eXtremeDB in-memory embedded database and related technology.

OCI’s role will include eXtremeDB integration, optimization and application development for McObject customers as well as database customization, porting, testing, and training, McObject President and Co-founder Steve Graves said.

McObject selected OCI as a Solution Provider in part for OCI’s expertise in key market segments and technologies, Graves said. “With deep experience in object-oriented technologies, and many successful client engagements in the aerospace, finance and telecommunications industries, OCI presents the ideal fit with McObject’s products and growing customer base,” he said.

The two firms’ relationship began, though, via an earlier OCI consulting project in which OCI ultimately credited McObject’s eXtremeDB with delivering a ten-fold performance increase, as well as enhanced reliability, for its client’s real-time securities trading application.

In spring 2004, a leading Chicago-based private securities firm that trades in multiple markets contracted with OCI to develop a high performance software library to support desktop trading.

The innovative architecture called for a shared information source with features – such as support for transactions and multi-user access – typically found in database management systems. Performance and reliability were paramount for this component.

Only an entirely memory-resident database could meet both the performance and reliability requirements for the project. Traditional databases with disk I/O, caching and related functions entailed too much processing overhead. In earlier projects, OCI implemented its own persistent in-memory data management, using a simple synchronized file system with logging to ensure recoverability.

However, for the new trading system, OCI sought to shorten its development cycle and enhance performance by adopting a proven off-the-shelf in-memory database system.

During its design investigation, OCI learned about McObject’s eXtremeDB in-memory database. eXtremeDB has been adopted for its real-time performance and reliability in applications ranging from telecommunications call routing to industrial process control. This track record, along with thorough testing, led OCI to select eXtremeDB for the desktop trading system.

“We were not disappointed. eXtremeDB exceeded our expectations,” said Kevin Heifner, principal software engineer for OCI.

US aircraft manufacturer Boeing Co has recently demonstrated its Connexion Internet and mobile services to travellers during a week of flights in Europe.

The flights took place on Connexion One, a Boeing 737-400 test and demonstration aircraft, and Boeing claimed that they showed how safe and convenient mobile telephony can be during flight. Participants were able to make and receive calls using the roaming-enabled mobile phones as part of Boeing’s Connexion service. In addition they were given the chance to test the high-speed, real-time Internet service, including four channels of live television now offered.

Guests were able to make calls to the ground during the flight and Boeing claimed that voice quality and connection reliability were noted by the callers and call recipients. CDMA and GSM are both supported by the system.

Boeing said the demonstration flights enabled people to experience the flexibility offered by its high-speed connectivity system.
