The Economist: A pebble of a milestone

It's taken longer than six years, but the US economy has finally passed a notable milestone: private-sector employment is now more than it was before the recent recession. The March 2014 estimate of total private employment from the Bureau of Labor Statistics is a seasonally adjusted 116.1 million, just barely over the prior peak in January 2008. This is certainly good news (though a subsequent revision might possibly take it away), but I'm feeling only mildly celebratory about it.
First, we're not quite back to the overall total (including both private-sector and government jobs). The March figure stood at 137.9 million employed, compared to almost 138.4 million in January 2008. Of course, government spending cuts have been a fact of life over the past few years (such as with the sequester and various deals struck in order to raise the debt ceiling and accomplish other necessary tasks, not to mention retrenchments by state and local public entities). Usually, business cycles leave the government sector basically untouched or even adding jobs during slow periods in the private economy; not so this time around.
Moreover, since January 2008, we should have been adding jobs, not just struggling to get back to where we were. Sheer population growth means we need more opportunities, and six years to move nowhere is not ideal. Depending on your assumptions about growth, the economy should have added millions of jobs over that period of time.
The current recovery has been frustratingly slow in terms of hiring. The Atlanta Branch of the Federal Reserve System found that the average time to recover all jobs lost during the seven recessions between 1950 and 1989 was just 10 months. After the 1990-91 downturn, it took a little longer (23 months), and even more time after 2001 (38 months). We are now at six years and counting (if you look at total employment) to recover.
Add to this lackluster situation the fact that compensation has hardly moved, with workers earning little more than they were before the recession. In addition, the percentage of long-term unemployment is very high by historic standards, and the labor force participation rate is about as low as it has been in decades.
These overall national totals camouflage substantial differences in performance among regions. As I've mentioned before, Texas has been performing much better than the nation as a whole. The Lone Star State had recovered all of the private-sector jobs lost in the recession by November 2011. Since the US peak in private employment in January 2008, Texas has added more than 765,000 jobs (as of the latest state-level data, which was for February) or well over one million since the trough. New York is a distant second with a gain of 255,500 jobs, followed by California which is up by 109,300 (not too impressive given its much larger overall size than Texas or New York). Texas' strong relative performance is even more apparent when you look at total employment (including the government sector), when some states such as California drop back into negative territory.
In fact, only 17 states actually have higher employment now than in January 2008; those just mentioned plus North Dakota (89,200), Massachusetts (65,100), Louisiana (47,900), District of Columbia (42,400), Minnesota (39,400), Colorado (38,100), Utah (29,800), Alaska (16,100), Oklahoma (15,400), and Nebraska (13,000). Iowa, Washington, South Dakota, and Montana all gained fewer than 10,000.
Conditions are particularly bad in Illinois, which now has 155,400 fewer private-sector jobs than in January 2008. Several other states are down more than 100,000 (New Jersey, Florida, Arizona, and Ohio). Dozens have lost tens of thousands of jobs.
Not all news on the national jobs front is grim. One of the bright spots is job openings and labor turnover data released this week by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which indicate almost 4.2 million job openings across the United States. Openings are up from January's estimate of 3.9 million, though not much better than in February 2013 (4.0 million). Available jobs are particularly numerous in the retail and accommodation and food services segments. Professional and business services are also trending upward, as are education and health services openings. Manufacturing job openings are down from a year prior, as are those in government.
It's disheartening to see how far some states still have to go to get back where they were before the recession. At the same time, the large gap in performance is a strong indication of the fact that the things we are doing well here in Texas are working. Of course, the oil surge is one factor, but the state's job gains span all industries, skill levels, and wage categories. Hopefully, in the months to come, we will see the national economy reach more milestones, with hiring and opportunities on the rise.

Yes we can see how important telephone support is and that we need to look at that urgently.
The reason we prefer email contact is that it is the best way of ensuring the most appropriate and knowledgeable person responds to school queries in the first instance, rather than someone on a telephone taking a message and you being passed around to get a response (call centre mentality). However, listening to your experiences it is clear that this needs to be revisted.

2014 PGA Championship host Valhalla Golf Club is one of the top Jack Nicklaus-designed courses in the U.S. Unfortunately, a Valhalla tee time can be tough to come by. Owned and operated by the PGA of America, it's a private club accessible to members, guests and PGA Professionals.
But there are plenty Nicklaus signature golf courses around the world where the average golfer need not jump through hoops to play.
Matt Ginella recently named his favorite top 10 Jack Nicklaus golf courses you can play in the U.S. It's a pretty impressive list from the Golden Bear, spanning from Hawaii to Tennessee, and has designed more than 300 courses worldwide.
Matt Ginella's Top 10 U.S. Jack Nicklaus designs you can play
1. Harbour Town Golf Links
Golf Channel's Jay Coffin had this to say about Pete Dye and Nicklaus collaboration:
"The last two holes (the last one in particular) is what everyone wants to see," Coffin wrote. "But don't overlook the first 16 holes just because you're excited to get to the closing stretch. Take your time and soak it all in."
2. Old Greenwood Golf Club
"If you like Jack Nicklaus designs, you'll love Old Greenwood," wrote Mike Bailey, Senior Writer for GolfAdvisor in his review. "The holes are well thought-out and plenty challenging as all Nicklaus courses are."
3. Challenge at Manele
"Absolutely fabulous," wrote GolfAdvisor rater MadMaxb. "Every hole is on the water. Would go back in a heart beat."
4. Nicklaus Course at Pronghorn Golf Club
GolfAdvisor Managing Editor Brandon Tucker played both the Nicklaus Course and Fazio Course at Pronghorn.
He wrote: "While the signature hole of the property is on the Fazio course, I curry favor on the whole towards the Nicklaus, thanks to a lot of risk-reward holes (including a couple drivable par 4s)."
5. The Greenbrier Course at Greenbrier Resort
Nicklaus updated this Seth Raynor original design in 1977. While it's TPC Old White that hosts the PGA Tour these days, it has a unique distinction in having hosted both the Solheim and Ryder Cup matches.
Video: Ginella discusses his favorite Nicklaus courses
6. Top of the Rock
Located in Missouri, Top of the Rock is the first ever Nicklaus Signature Par 3 Course ever built.
7. Ritz-Carlton Golf Club at Dove Mountain
GolfAdvisor rater erniegamboa103537000 wrote: "I've played just about all the golf courses in and around Tucson, (And we have some good ones). Dove Mountain is the best all around golf course I've experienced...I definitely recommend this course to my above average player friends."
8. The Bear at Grand Traverse Resort
GolfAdvisor rater dthrift3 was smitten with this demanding Nicklaus course near Traverse City (perhaps because he's a low-handicapper):
"Jack Nicklaus does it again," he wrote. "He never stops amazing people with his golf talent, now this time in golf course architecture. The design is perfect. EVERY hole is a picture hole."
9. New Course at Grand Cypress Resort
GolfAdvisor rater campsie wrote of his round on this British Isles links-inspired course: "The wind was up so it felt like we were playing at St. Andrews. This was an awesome place to play a fun round of golf."
10. Bear Trace at Cumberland Mountain State Park
GolfAdvisor rater hbegley85260, a female with a handicap of 15-19, rated Bear Trace extremely challenging, but keeps coming back for the facility's excellent customer service.
"[Bear Trace] is always very well maintained," she wrote. "The staff are welcoming and very friendly and most times remember us by name or recognize us as frequent golfers!"
Have you played a Jack Nicklaus design in the U.S. deserving of being on this list? Let us know in the comments section below.

I am going to add flying with an Asian or Middle Eastern carrier to my "bucket list."
– CNN reader Robb1371
Source: The world's best airline for 2012 is …
Like in a lot of other arenas, America's airlines too have fallen way behind their Asian and Middle Eastern rivals.
World's Top-10 Airlines
1. Qatar Airways (#1 for second year in a row)
2. Asiana Airlines
3. Singapore Airlines
4. Cathay Pacific Airways
5. ANA All Nippon Airways
6. Etihad Airways
7. Turkish Airlines
8. Emirates
9. Thai Airways
10. Malaysia Airlines

By the way, Bucket List (Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman) is a nice movie, a tragi-comedy.

sam says:
Qatar dhan no. 1…small country but still.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Yes, for the second year in a row Qatar Airlines is #1 in the world.
Now, you can bask in the airline's reflected glory.
You must have flown on Qatar Airlines several times, right?
Is it really that good?
sam says:
Frankly, the services to Indian sector is at best, ok.
Timings are highly inconvenient, but daily flights are available.
The US and Europe sector is very good.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Big achievement, nevertheless.
#1 airline in the world for two years in a row!
The U.S. airlines are nowhere in the picture.
Naveen says:
No surprises that none of the US airlines made it to the top.
They all suck in varying degress. Poor customer service, ridiculous baggage fees, high on delays, no food even on long distance flights, inconsistent entertainment options. They only perform the most basic operations which is flying and hopefully periodic maintenance.
No surprises about Singapore Airlines making it to that list. Everyone I know who has flew Etihad or Emirates has nothing but praise for them.
Wonder where Air India is languishing in that list or maybe they will call another strike protesting their non-inclusion in the top 10
SearchIndia.com Responds:
I still remember the good ol' days when we'd get good food and free booze even on domestic flights here (i.e. U.S.).
AI is a joke that survives on govt. largesse and Gujju stupidity (all those elderly semi-literate Gujaratis making annual trips to Vadodara and Mehsana)!
Mnx542 says:
"Poor customer service, ridiculous baggage fees, high on delays, no food even on long distance flights, inconsistent entertainment options."
That sucks big time.
No food on long distance flight?
How do they manage to survive despite such shortcomings?
SearchIndia.com Responds:
The U.S. airlines are not surviving…they're merging and on life-support.
Mnx542 says:
I have an NRI friend who regularly flies to Qatar from Chennai and he once told me how great the crew and service were.
I've flown on Singapore Airlines abt 6 years back and found it good. The air hostesses were friendly and the food was decent. The flight, though, got delayed by abt 30 mins.
Air India seems to be the worst airline in India. The only benefit of travelling in AI is the low cost.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
A lot of semi-literate Gujjus here are comfortable flying Air India.
These Amit-bhais, Sumit-bhais, Meena-behns and Sita-behns keep AI afloat on the U.S.-India route.
Hari Jr says:
Knew that Asiana Airlines (South Korea), Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific (Hong Kong) were good. Even Emirates. Didn't expect Qatar Airways to beat em all.
What about the European airlines like Lufthansa, SWISS, Air France, etc. ??
SearchIndia.com Responds:
The European airlines come up in top-10 in some categories.

The first superstar of Bollywood Rajesh Khanna ] has passed away
SearchIndia.com Responds:
I was not aware of it and found out only by reading your comment.
Watched his Anand recently.
Lovely film. Most likely, his best.
sam says:
SearchIndia.com Responds:
For many years, Aaradhana (Rajesh Khanna, Sharmila Tagore) was my favorite film.
I must have listened to Mere Sapon ki Rani and Roop Tera Mastana million times.
tiramisu says:
As someone who has flown in many of these airlines from the US to the Indian subcontinent, the onboard entertainment system on Emirates called 'ice' is probably the best out there.
Emirates flies the Airbus A380 from JFK to Dubai, cabin is excellently noise proofed from the engine noise, minimizes body fatigue.
Business and first-class fliers on Emirates can use their lounges in Dubai which are world class, and for the well heeled with cash to burn what better place than Dubai-duty free !
(BTW, I am not an Emirates employee !)
I would rate Qatar airways a notch below Emirates. The airport in Abu-Dhabi leaves a lot to be desired, so I would deduct points from Etihad and Qatar for flights to the subcontinent via Abu-Dhabi.
MAS and SAL are good, but flying from the US east-coast to KL or Singapore and then retracing the flight path back to India/Pak/Bangladesh is laborious. Great options for US west-coasters though.
Another decent option from US NA to India is Jet. They do a competent and satisfactory job. Convenient for flying to South Indian cities. Hard to get tickets on short notice bookings, I guess folks from NJ flock to Jet coz they fly out of Newark.
If there is an airline that could beat AI for the lowest spot that would be Kuwait airways, I have also heard horror stories about PIA – Pakistan intl. airlines as well, similar to AI. I would assume that they cater to the AI equivalent demographic on the Pak side.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
You're right on Emirates high quality entertainment.
For the eighth consecutive year, Emirates 'ice' inflight entertainment system won the 'World's Best Airline Inflight Entertainment' award at the 2012 SKYTRAX World Airline Awards.

Although late April marks the middle point of the regular high school season, the Thomas Dale varsity softball team feels it certainly doesn't indicate their half-way mark.
Big things often come in small packages. One of the big things in the Dominion District right now is Nick Connor, senior shortstop and pitcher for the L.C. Bird Skyhawks. Listed at 5'10" and 170 pounds, he's not the "ideal size" for a pitcher but possesses both a heavy bat and a strong arm, and is accomplishing some things on the diamond this season in the face of adversity.

While the Civil War didn't fully arrive in Chesterfield until May of 1864, one of the Confederacy's major means of transporting troops and goods quickly was the Richmond and Danville Railroad. It was designed and its construction supervised by Chesterfield engineer Andrew Talcott.
There are dog people and there are cat people, and then there is Pauline Bokkon. After moving with her late husband, Julius Bokkon, to Chesterfield from West Virginia in1951, they built a house in what is now the Meadowbrook school district. With only a tenth-grade education she had to find a source of income, she said.
Chesterfield is under pressure to complete its rearrangement of the jig-saw puzzle that is the array of voting precincts. By law the entire country goes into redistricting mode after the each census – every 10 years.

Record a Little Something for Earth Day
SEATTLE - Today, an American research team is asking folks from around the world to participate in an Earth Day experience by helping capture up to 1 million sound recordings of the natural environment, from waterfalls and chirping birds to traffic noise. Led by Purdue University ecologist Bryan Pijanowski, it's prompting people from all walks of life to really listen to their outdoor environment and then record some of it, to be uploaded, shared and preserved. Pijanowski said it doesn't matter if the sound is birds chirping or cars zooming down the street. "We want to capture the world as it is right now," he explained. (contd.)

text: As someone who has worked as a newspaper reporter for a number of years, I'd say this article is pretty accurate. Most of these folks I dealt with over the years were good folks who were capable at their jobs. But as in any other field, there are always "outliers" or exceptions. My one real pet peeve with media coordinators involved poorly written press releases. Sorry, but if you cannot write properly, you really have no business doing this job. And if I can't figure out what you're trying to say, your press release is not going to become a news story with my byline on it.

Ebola Resources
Ebola Resource Center- updated 10/29/14
On August 6, 2014 members of the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared Ebola a public health emergency of international concern. To date, the United States has only had isolated cases of the virus. In response to the intensifying pandemic in the West African countries of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, and due to the fact that we have had isolated cases in the United States, the Old Dominion EMS Alliance has established this Ebola Information Portal to quickly link EMS providers and agencies with information and tools to help care for potentially infected patients.
Current ODEMSA Initiatives:
Ebola Memo from ODEMSA Executive Director 10-22-14
(1) A team led by our Regional Medical Director, Dr. Allen Yee, and the Metro-Richmond Fire Chiefs have prepared Ebola-specific regional guidelines. The team is comprised of regional experts from the fields of EMS, Fire, hospital administration, Hazardous Materials, and education. They have worked very hard to provide a document that will accommodate the wide variety of challenges our region's providers may encounter, with the goal of keeping our providers SAFE. ODEMSA - Ebola Response Guide - Approved 10-22-14
(2) ODEMSA is offering in-person PPE Donning and Doffing training sessions in each of its four Planning Districts. Participants will have an opportunity to practice skills using glow technology. CEU will be awarded to those who attend (ALS 89, BLS 06). Registration is not required. ODEMSA staff will also give a presentation on the newly released Regional Ebola Virus Disease (EBV) Response Guide. Ebola Update - PPE Training 10-2014 , Ebola PPE Training - Powerpoint 10-2014 , Ebola - Donning and Doffing Checklists - ODEMSA 10-2014

(4) The Office of EMS has requested each Regional Council reach out to the agencies in their respective region to determine agency PPE inventory, and potential areas of need. ODEMSA will do this in the form of a survey. Your agency's leadership should be prepared to answer these questions in the next few days.
(5) Because this is a fluid situation, ODEMSA encourages you to visit this site frequently to make sure you have the most up-to-date documents and information. The situation is dynamic and there may be frequent changes.

SRMC New ER Line
Wanted to make EVERYONE aware of a change in communicating to SRMC ER from the field. We now have a dedicated telephone line to our ER for patient reports. The NEW number is 804-765-5625. If you use the HEAR radio, please continue to do that. You can start using this new number on Friday July 25, 2014. Please disregard any other numbers you may have for calling in reports after Friday July 25, 2014.
The old number was going directly to the charge nurse. This process was creating issues where if the charge nurse was registering a patient and the charge nurse received a call from EMS, the charge nurse was not able to take a report at that time or may not have been able to answer the call.

Police board behind on chief's report card
|Seymour Police Chief Michael E. Metzler, left. Republican-American archive
SEYMOUR — Michael E. Metzler has been police chief in Seymour for more than 20 years, but there are still disagreements over how to measure his job performance.
The town Board of Police Commissioners has been struggling for months to complete an evaluation of Metzler's work, town officials say. The board — or at least three of its five members — has come up with a draft, but Metzler hasn't signed the appraisal and First Selectman W. Kurt Miller has said he will take over the task of evaluating the chief.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

The Inland Empire late model season gets underway on Saturday night as Spokane County Raceway hosts the Dr. Pepper Late Model Series featuring NASCAR champions Pete Harding, Gary Lewis and Garrett Evans along with defending series champion Erick Hargraves.
This weekend Spokane's Braeden Havens heads to The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, a track he has competed on in the past, for the Star Nursery 200 on the NASCAR K&N Pro Series.
Kasey Kahne brought home the victory in NASCAR's longest race giving the Enumclaw, Wash. native his first win of the 2012 season and first with Kendrick Motorsports.
Moving to second place with 10 laps left in the Brainerd 125, Utah's Michael Self chased down leader Dylan Kwasniewski to take the lead on the white flag lap. From there it was clear sailing for the 21-year old's first career victory on the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West.
Brad Keselowski's fuel lasted the final 73 laps at Charlotte Motor Speedway as he earned his 18th career victory on the NASCAR Nationwide Series. Keselowski netted over $46,000 for his first NASCAR Nationwide Series win of the 2012 season.
Joey Saldana led 23 23 of 30 laps en route to his 79th career World of Outlaws feature victory. The win was good for $12,000 to the driver of the Great Clips sprinter.
Ricky Stenhouse dominated the field for most of the race to capture the checkered flag at the Pioneer Hi-Bred 250 in front of 34,000 fans Sunday. The win is the third straight at the 0.875-mile track for Stenhouse, who swept the two Nationwide races held here last year
In beating Brad Keselowski to the finish of the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway by .841 seconds, Jimmie Johnson won the exhibition event for the third time, tying Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon for most all-time.
Justin Lofton picks up his first career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory on Friday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
After months of frustration, Jimmie Johnson gave Rick Hendrick his 200th NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory, running away from the rest of the field on a green-white-checkered-flag restart that took the Bojangles' Southern 500 one lap past its scheduled distance.
Joey Logano drove away from Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin after a green-white-checkered-flag restart to win his second straight race in the series and third of the season.
Kyle Busch had pushed Brad Keselowski to the lead on Lap 193 of 194 in a race that went six laps past its scheduled distance at the 2.66-mile track. The two cars ran bumper-to-bumper until Turn 3 of the final lap, when Keselowski entered the corner high and dived to the bottom of the track, separating his No. 2 Dodge from Busch's No. 18 Toyota.
Ron Capps, who used a consistent string of 4.16-second runs to take his 34th career victory, outran Robert Hight in the final round, who was trying to give JFR its seventh consecutive win of the season. Capps' Napa Auto Parts Dodge Charger posted a 4.166 second run at 303.91 mph to take the win, while Hight's Auto Club Ford Mustang trailed with a 4.399 at 273.44.
Dylan Kwasniewski, who picked up his first win of the season and third of his career, started from the pole and led every lap in the first NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race at the quarter-mile track since 2006. It was also the sixth time in nine NASCAR K&N Pro Series West races at Stockton since 2002 that a race was extended past its advertised distance.
Robert Hight, who has won four of the first six races in 2012, claimed his fourth No. 1 qualifying position of the season Saturday with a leading performance of 4.104 seconds at 308.35 mph in his Auto Club Ford Mustang. Hight teammates John Force and Mike Neff won the other two races to give the JFR team a stronghold on the winner's circle this season.
Joey Logano wins NASCAR Nationwide Series event at Talladega Superspeedway with a late race pass on Sprint Cup series teammate, Kyle Busch.
Tony Schumacher, who earned his last victory 29 races ago in Oct. 2010, powered his U.S. Army dragster to a track record time of 3.815 seconds at 322.58 mph, putting him in position to earn his first No. 1 qualifying position of the season and 68th of his career if the run holds through Saturday's final two qualifying sessions (11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m.).

Time is running out. Revelation is at hand--rivers are running red with blood, a desert is found shrouded in ice and the moon has turned crimson. Six signs of the Apocalypse have come to pass. Now only one woman can stop THE SEVENTH SIGN in this taut suspense thriller. Demi Moore (About Last Night, St. Elmo's Fire) stars as Abby Quinn, a young woman who discovers that she and her unborn child play a terrifying part in the chain of events destined to end the world. Already troubled with a difficult pregnancy, Abby grows more distraught when she and her husband (Michael Biehn, Aliens) rent their studio apartment to David, a mysterious drifter (Jurgen Prochnow, Das Boot). Now submerged in violent metaphysical experiences, Abby realizes that David is carrying out the mystical prophecies of Judgement Day and that she has been chosen as the instrument of THE SEVENTH SIGN. But can one woman alone stand between the wrath of God and the future of mankind? In the tradition of THE OMEN, THE SEVENTH SIGN takes you on an ominous, unforgettable odyssey to the edge of life and death.
Demi Moore electrifies as a young woman who must prevent her unborn baby from playing an ominous role in the coming of the end of the world.
This horror thriller is based upon the final chapter of the Bible and centers upon Abby Quinn, a pregnant woman who leases her garage apartment to mysterious David, who seems to be trying to claim the soul and the life of her unborn child.

Pentagon eyes Vt. for missile interceptor siteSeptember 12,2013By Neal P. Goswami
MONTPELIER — The Camp Ethan Allen Training Site in Jericho has been selected as one of five potential sites by the Pentagon for a missile defense battery, despite strong objections to the program from Vermont's congressional delegation.
Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Democrat and the most senior member of the Senate's Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, was informed Thursday that the Vermont site was chosen a potential Ground-based Midcourse Interceptor East Coast location, according to Leahy spokesman David Carle.
The missile shield system consists of ground-based interceptor missiles and radar to intercept incoming warheads.
Other possible sites announced Thursday are located at Camp Ravenna Joint Military Training Center in Ohio, NAS Portsmouth SERE Training Area in Maine, Fort Custer CTC in Michigan and Fort Drum in New York.
The Pentagon is studying possible new locations for the missile shield system to determine their suitability as future interceptor deployment sites, Vice Admiral James D. Syring, director of the Missile Defense Agency, wrote in a letter to Sen. Patrick Leahy, which his office released Thursday morning.
Members of Vermont's congressional delegation reacted strongly to the announcement that the Vermont National Guard training facility was selected.
"I've always felt that the multiple billions spent on missile defense are a monumental waste of money, on technologically challenged systems, and I am emphatically against putting one of these sites in Vermont," Leahy said.
Democratic Rep. Peter Welch went even further, giving the Vermont site no chance of being selected.
"This is absurd. It's the wrong location for a bad idea and dead on arrival," he said.
Sen. Bernard Sanders, an independent, said he, too, doubts that Vermont will ever serve as a missile defense site.
"My first impression is that this is a very bad idea and, for a wide variety of reasons, I do not believe that it will ever happen," Sanders said.
Carle said neither Congress nor the Pentagon have made a decision on whether any additional interceptor sites will be deployed in the U.S, nor is there any money appropriated for a new site.
"Based on the fiscal 2013 defense authorizing law, the Pentagon is required to conduct a study to validate or invalidate the requirement for an East Coast ballistic missile defense location, and part of that study, which will be completed before the end of this year, will be to identify the possible locations for consideration under an Environmental Impact Study if the basic requirement for a site is validated," Carle wrote in an email. "By virtue of this announcement, Camp Ethan Allen may, or may not, be included in that list of locations for further study under an EIS."
According to Syring's letter, the Missile Defense Agency will contact each site as part of a data gathering process for the study that will assess potential interceptor sites. The sites will then be reassessed to determine suitable locations for further consideration, including on-site visits.MORE IN This Just InBURLINGTON - The Auxiliary Bishop of Indianapolis has been appointed the 10th Bishop of...
