Dark Skies Ahead For Lockheed Martin Despite Posting Better Than Expected Profits

Aircraft Manufacturer and defense contractor Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) beat expectations as they posted better than expected third quarter profits. However, Revenues missed the analysts’ forecasts, posting approximately $11.06 billion compared to the $11.37 billion estimated by analysts.

Furthermore, Lockheed believes that 2010 number may be worse as President Obama curbs spending on traditional weapon systems. Signs of this cut down in spending can be seen in cancellation of the VH-71 Presidential Helicopter and scaling back of some of the missile programs

As experts struggled find a positive to this story, the shares of Lockheed Martin dropped 5.6% to $72.64. Other defense companies also fell because of the cutbacks on defense spending. Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC) fell 2.3% to $50.04 and General Dynamics (NYSE: GD) dropped 2% to $67.32.

Dear friends!

Is it a deal to convert iTunes to mp3? I say NI :) Its really puzzling not being able to play iTunes tracks with my $300 iriver!
Digging for a solution brings certain results. To [url=http://drm-removal.com/features/iTunestoMP3/convert_iTunes_to_MP3.htm]convert iTunes to MP3[/url] I used this tool drm removal (drm-removal.com or something like this, please ask me - will find that web again). I don't care what is drm - what I read, its something dealing with protection and nothing about iTunes.
But this tool really works for me and it converted quickly my iTuines entire library, including video files!.

How do you convert it? Why itunes brings this foolishness? I didn't like ipods at all! They simple stuck and suck!
What is that drm that I loose converting my itunes to mp3?

thanks in advance!
