I have no announcements. I'll be happy to start with your questions.
Q: What about the CBO report that defense spending is still going to be $47 billion out of line through '99?
A: We've seen the report. We are, in fact, going to do some of our own analysis of their numbers, so at this point I'm not sure I can delve very far into precisely what their numbers are and whether they're right or not.
I would remind you though, that we indicated for a number of months, in fact held a briefing in the recent past, that we, too, identified about a $40-plus billion shortfall. $49 billion I think was the number we briefed the last time, and acknowledged that shortfall, and went into some great detail about how we're going to deal with it, not the least of which is an additional $25 billion provided by the President to be focused on a number of areas, including readiness, as well as some adjustments in the inflation figures and some changes in the modernization program which will, in our view, accommodate the shortfall and deal with it. When we present the budget next month, we will lay out for you in great detail exactly how we expect to do that.
Q: Their $47 billion takes into account the $25 billion.
A: My understanding is that it doesn't, Charlie. But again, we are looking at it. My understanding is they're talking about a $65 billion shortfall total, not including the President's $25 billion add-on.
Q: Do you have a date for when you're going to...
A: No, Susanne. Early February is as close as I can get for you right now. I'm sure we will manage to mess up everyone's weekend as we normally do. But it will...
Q: Just as a housekeeping item, you are going to do the typical Saturday brief...
A: As is currently planned, yes.
Q: Do you have some sort of assessment of how Russian troops are deporting themselves in Chechnya? Is it the U.S. Government and the Pentagon's assessment that this whole exercise tells you something about Russian forces, readiness, ability to fight?
A: I don't think at this juncture it serves any useful purpose for me to attempt to assess the performance of the Russian army, based on really what is urban guerrilla kinds of warfare that's ongoing in Gorazny. The situation remains very fluid, to say the least, and I think it's prudent to leave such assessments to a later date.
Q: Could we get someone from DIA down here to talk on background about that?
A: I don't want to make any promises, Charlie. We'll see how this progresses and see what we can do. I don't want to make a commitment right now. We'll take a look at it.
Q: What can you tell us about reports, the U.S. claims Iraq has some 9,000 pieces of military equipment that belonged to Kuwait, plus a lot of civilian material. Apparently this is being discussed at the UN.
A: I'm sorry, I have nothing in this voluminous portfolio that I brought with me, I have nothing on that. So I will have to take the question.
Q: Do you have anything on the scheduling of the changing of residence, so to speak, for the people in Guantanamo? How that is going with the Haitians, how long that will take, and any plans for movement of the Cubans in Panama back to Guantanamo?
A: Let's start with the Haitians in Guantanamo. Eight hundred and seventy-four Haitians have returned to Port-au-Prince. These are individuals who did not opt for the voluntary incentive program. Five hundred and fifty more are en-route to Port-au-Prince today, so that's a total of about 1,450 in that category.
As you know, there are INS interviews that take place for each individual that's going to be returned to Haiti. There are some 130 or so who at this point are, for either medical reasons or because a continuing investigation into their particular situation needs to be done, who have not been sent back. So that continues. The repatriation of Haitians to their homeland, which is now, in our view, a safe and secure environment, will continue.
On the other part, in terms of Panama, we continue to look for resettlement possibilities in third countries such as the agreement that was reached very recently with Spain, where 72 Cubans were moved to Spain on December 8th. And an obvious option is the return of the migrants to Guantanamo Bay to await resettlement to other countries, or voluntary repatriation to Cuba once the six months period ends in Panama on March 5th, but we don't have anything to announce in terms of anything final on that.
Q: Have there been any disturbances, protests, however you want to term them, ship-board concerning these people from Haiti that are being forcibly repatriated? And secondly, take that question over to the Panama site. Have we had any more troubles over there?
A: There was a very minor, I think one situation that I'm aware of in the Haitians that were removed from Guantanamo Bay to Port-au-Prince, a very low-key kind of situation, but it was handled without any injuries or any problems. It was involving a couple of individuals.
The second half of your question in terms of Panama, to my knowledge there have not been any, at least serious outbreaks. There may have been some minor isolated cases, and I'm not aware of those. You might check with Jim Fettig in Panama.
Q: So the augmented security in Panama has succeeded in quelling any further major disturbances.
A: It apparently has. There are a significant number of U.S. military personnel that are there. Our hope and our belief is that it will ensure a peaceful environment for the majority of Cubans in the Panama camp who are not violent.
Q: Can you shed any light on reports that Deputy Secretary of Defense John Deutch is in line to become Director of the CIA?
A: You're looking for a personnel announcement? I do have two personnel announcements. (PAUSE)
The President has nominated Major General John Abrams for promotion to lieutenant general and assignment as Commanding General V Corps, United States Army Europe. Since May '93 he has served as the commanding general, 2nd Infantry Division, 8th United States Army, Korea.
The President has also nominated Major General Guy LaBoa for promotion to lieutenant general and assignment as Commanding General, 2nd United States Army, Fort Gillem, Georgia. Since 1993 he has served as Chief of Staff, Forces Command, at Fort McPherson. Those are the only personnel announcements I have today. (LAUGHTER)
Q: On the Deutch question, was he at the CIA last Thursday and Friday? There was a report that seemed to indicate he spent a lot of time there.
A: I'm not specifically sure, Susanne. He spends a lot of time with the CIA folks -- either here or at CIA as a part of his function as Deputy Secretary. So he may well have been over there. I wouldn't attribute a whole lot to it.
Q: How are you coming on convincing the United Nations that Haiti is a safe and secure environment, and it's okay for a massive change of the guard down there to be expedited?
A: The process has begun, Jack. The first step actually has been taken. The commander of the multinational force there, General Meade, has in fact indicated it is his view that it is a safe and secure environment. That process now moves to the UN. We would hope to see that happen perhaps this week, and we will be on the path, we believe, and we see no reason to indicate otherwise that there will be a very smooth transition into the UNMIH force.
Q: So you have a game plan then to get it down to 3,000 American troops? What is your time table?
A: As you know, there will be a spike in the number as we go through the transition between the 25th and the 10th, so we're going to see the number go up. It will quickly go back down. I don't have a specific day-by-day timetable, but we will see a continuing decline of the number. I'm not sure it will be down on transition day to the 3,000 or so that we ultimately would expect to have there. There will need to be some period of transition for that. I can't give you a timetable, but we continue to believe that over the next couple or three months that that transition should take place.
Q: Do you have any detail on how it is that Marines found themselves in the minefield at Guantanamo, in a Cuban minefield at Guantanamo?
A: I really don't. That investigation is underway--an unfortunate incident where a couple of Marines were injured by mines in the Cuban section. We need to look at that. I just don't have any...
Q: It was described as if they were on "routine patrol," but the demarcation line is very, very clear between one side and the other.
A: There's a fence. I think the initial report that I heard, and again I would caution you it is initial and the investigation needs to confirm it, was that there was some hole or cut in the fence that they inspected and went through perhaps and were then at that point in the Cuban minefield. Unfortunately, it did detonate a mine.
Q: Is it the intention of the Defense Department to release the autopsy of Davie Hilemon, the helicopter copilot...
A: I'm not sure, Jack, if we will release the autopsy in its total. I would hope, as we promised, that when the autopsy is completed and when the investigation itself is completed, we'll be able to come back to you with a briefing and give you some of the detail of that. Neither of those are yet complete. They are both, I believe, very near to being complete, so we would hope to have that in the near future, but I can't tell you when.
Q: Is Bobby Hall to be reassigned to his unit in South Korea?
A: I was asked that question this morning, and I don't know the answer. I think the best thing I can do is refer you to the Army personnel folks. They would be the ones that could address those.
Q: Is it possible that Mr. Hall would be available to the press here at any time?
A: Mr. Hall has been available to the press at some length. I have no plan to have him come down here. To the electronic press. If he were to indicate an interest I guess we could look at that, but that's not been discussed.
Q: I think you just said to Jack that we could expect a further or some kind of a wrap-up debriefing on that particular matter concerning the helicopter shoot-down. In that regard, specifically, is it yet known how Bobby Hall got lost? What were the circumstances? What was his deduction or witness about that? Is that yet known?
A: Not beyond what he himself has said, and that will be part of the investigation. I think we really need to really reserve any final judgments until we can get the fact finding report in hand and take a final look at it.
Q: Do you have any update on the Somalia withdrawal, if there is any movement towards that or...
A: In terms of movement, is that what you're talking about? In terms of movement of anything?
Q: Yes.
A: The Essex Amphibious Ready Group is currently participating in another exercise in the Persian Gulf. It will probably finish around mid-January in that exercise, and then it would move in the area of operation off of Somalia. The Belleau Wood is currently in Okinawa. It left Sasebo. It is on-loading members of the Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force and some equipment, and will head also toward the Somali coast. Looking for arrival of those four ships probably right around the first week or so of February.
By the way, I would note, as you heard in some detail when we announced the decision to support the UNISOM withdrawal, we will have a significant and, as Dr. Deutch described, overwhelming force. We will have some 2,600 Marines, AC-130 gunships, Harriers, and Cobra helicopters. It will be a force to reckon with, and we would strongly discourage any faction to even consider in any way interfering with that operation.
Q: What provision are you making for press coverage?
A: We are making provision, but I think that's something we'll have to deal with you separately on. I'd rather not deal with it right here.
Q: Can you give any idea of what they will be evacuating in terms of numbers of people, types of vehicles, anything like that? Do you have an idea of that yet?
A: I'm sure we do, Susanne. In fact I think we have it in DDI in some depth. We can provide that to you. I didn't bring it with me.
Q: Are these 2,600 Marines all in the three ship Essex Group?
A: There will be some aboard the Belleau Wood as well, I understand.
Q: What are the other ships in the Essex Group?
A: Ogden and Fort Fisher.
Q: What are they?
A: They're all amphibs.
Q: How long will it take, do you have any idea? Days, weeks?
A: For?
Q: For this pull-out to take place.
A: The final phase at which we would have some number of U.S. military personnel on the ground in Somalia, will probably be less than a week. The time table for the final withdrawal I think is yet to be established, but as you know, the UNISOM mandate and the UN itself has indicated they will all be out by the end of March, so it will be sometime well before that.
Q: Thank you.

Enzymatic Synthesis of Butyl Laurate by Immobilized Rhizopus Oryzae Lipase onto Silica Aerogel: Optimization by Response Surface Methodology
Current Chemical Biology,

Given the importance of butyl laurate in various industrial fields, its production by enzymatic catalysis has received greater interest. Butyl laurate was successfully synthesised by the esterification of lauric acid with butanol. This reaction was catalyzed by Rhizopus oryzae lipase immobilized onto silica aerogel in organic media. Response surface methodology was applied in order to approximate the effect of the butanol/ lauric acid molar ratio (1.2-5 mol/mol), the amount of lipase (100-700 IU) and the volume of hexane (3-9 mL) on the butyl laurate lipase-catalyzed esterification yield through an empirical model. Results clearly indicated that the lipase amount was the main factor influencing the synthesis yield. This yield increased with the lipase amount and decreased with the molar ratio of butanol/ lauric acid and the volume of hexane. The selected optimal conditions for synthesis were: a butanol/ lauric acid molar ratio of 1.2, a lipase amount of 550 IU and an hexane volume of 3 mL. The application of these optimized conditions led to a butyl laurate yield of 90.5%. The immobilized lipase was successfully reused for 26 cycles without a significant decrease of the conversion yield on butyl laurate. These results confirm the idea that employing Rhizopus oryzae lipase immobilized onto silica aerogel for a wide range of esterification reactions is feasible.

Stearns Sunset from the Vedanta Temple
Last night's sunset overlooking Stearns Wharf and Santa Barbara from the grounds of the Vedanta Temple in Montecito. The sunsets have been a little less intense this year due to the lack of moisture in the air, but not last night. The beautiful colors in the sky seemed like they would just keep getting more and more intense. Another beautiful evening in Santa Barbara.

Moonlit Bluff
Butterfly Beach lit only by the light of the full moon rising on the horizon and the faint fading glow of the sunset.
Saturday, November 16, 2013
Twilight Bluff
An early evening long exposure from Butterfly Beach. The glow in the distance is the reflection of the city lights on the evening marine layer, and the last light of the setting sun. This is about half an hour after sunset while there was still a little color in the sky. Of course these days a long exposure like this is 3.2 seconds. Once upon a time I would have been standing there for minutes with a stopwatch.

Channel Islands Autumn Colors
We are fortunate enough to have some of the most beautiful views around regardless of the season or weather. But some of my favorite spots have a completely different feel this time of year, and standing in the exact same spot I can get a completely different picture from one I would take in the spring. Although the beautiful palm tree in the foreground doesn't give any hint to the season the way the fall leaves in New England would, we still enjoy amazing autumn colors of our own.

Butterfly Sunset Panorama
An amazing evening at Butterfly Beach. Some evenings the sunset just doesn't quit. This was one of those evenings. As the sun set the display was breathtaking, and every time it seemed like it was going to fade, a whole new deeper pallete of colors appeared. This was not only one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen, it had to be the longest.

Reflections of The Belt of Venus or...
...Paddle Boarding in the Shadow of the Earth. Just after sunset there is a beautiful phenomenon that we can clearly see in Santa Barbara thanks to generally clear skies and good views of the horizon. The blue band you see in the sky opposite the location where the sun recently set is actually the shadow of the earth. You can see it cast upon the atmosphere in the distance as the angle of the sunlight dips below the opposite horizon. The pink or purple layer above that is called the Belt of Venus or the anti-twilight arch, which is caused by a completely different phenomenon, a backscattering of the light from the already set sun. You could think of it as a reflection of the sunset that is happening further to the west of your location. Now isn't physics pretty? By the way, if you're more of a morning person you can see these effects just before sunrise too.

Pacific Grove Sunset
In every city I spend much time, I always end up with my favorite spots where I try to end up at the end of the day. This is Asilomar Beach in Pacific Grove on the tip of the Monterey Peninsula. Some days the waves are huge and breathtaking, other days the sun slides down past the horizon peacefully, but every evening it's a wonderful show.

Sandpiper Sunset Clouds
Sandpiper Golf Course is one of the best places I can imagine to spend a few hours, especially this time of year when the sunsets are really getting spectacular. This evening I was actually on the course to get some timelapse shots.

Shipwrecked After Dark
If you have to be shipwrecked, this is a nice place to do it. Every so often a sailboat slips its mooring in the Santa Barbara area, and it seems more often than not they end up on Butterfly Beach.

Evening at Mount Carmel
One of my favorite local landmarks, Our Lady of Mount Carmel church in Montecito. There are many well known sights to see in Santa Barbara, but this is one of the little local gems that is more tucked away off the beaten path.

Moonlit Island Fog
On the surface near the beach they call it June Gloom. In Santa Barbara the fog that rolls in the late spring and early summer can be very thick right at the surface. But if you take a step back and get a better view you can appreciate its beauty more. This evening the fog was hugging the surface in the marine layer, a cool layer of air just above the water. As it met the resistance of the islands, at first it was not thick enough so it went around, but as the evening progressed it started to pour over the island like running water.
Friday, July 12, 2013
Santa Barbara Bluff Sunset
This was one of those evenings that the sunset seemed to be long gone. But it was still a beautiful evening to enjoy a walk on the beach. As we wanderd down the beach the clouds on the horizon started to glow again even more beautiful than before.
Monday, June 3, 2013
Sandpiper Lenticular Sunset
On any day Sandpiper Golf Course in Goleta is an amazing spot to chase a little white ball around or to just enjoy some of the most beautiful views the Santa Barbara area has to offer. Then there are the really spectacular days, the ones with clouds that have so much texture in the clear air that you're sure you could reach out and touch them. The days with sunsets that stretch color from horizon to horizon. This was absolutely one of those days.
Sunday, May 26, 2013
Fog Over The Good Land
This angle is from the foothills just outside Santa Barbara. Overlooking the city of Goleta (our next-door neighbors, AKA "The Good Land"). The fog was rolling in quickly the night I took this. About ten minutes after this shot there were no discernible points of light. Well not on the ground anyway. The stars were still amazing! In fact you can just make aout some of the Milky Way in the left side of the photo.

Rose Garden Panorama Sunset
An amazing sunset at the Santa Barbara Mission rose garden. The Roses are in full bloom this time of year, it's a wonderful time to visit the Mission and wander around the grounds. If you have really good timing you can experience a spectacular spiring evening with amazing beauty in every direction.
Wednesday, May 22, 2013
Blue Moonrise
Once in a blue moon... The full moonrise is quite a sight to see in itself, the moon on the horizon looks so large and beautiful. But on an evening like this there is actually enough light reflected by the amazing moon to photograph our beautiful landscapes and beaches. The cool lighting gives the beach a completely different feel from only an hour before when the sunset glow bathed it in warmth.

Santa Barbara Mission Cross at Night
One evening when we were at the Santa Barbara Mission we noticed someone playing ball with their dog in the field by the mission rose garden. The really interesting thing for my camera is they were playing with a ball that had a light in it. It was a lot of fun watching the ball move back and forth, it was too dark to really see the dog, but it was obvious where he was. In the end, there were too many cars to get an interesting shot of the ball, although it is in there bouncing under the big tree at the left. The fun thing is the shot came out beautifully anyway.

Vista Point Storm
There is a little turn off from the 101 South about 20 miles north of Santa Barbara. The evning I took this was right after a great storm rolled in. Santa Barbara and Goleta were already socked in. They are somewhere in that deep dark cloud on the horizon. But the storm had such a distinct edge, it seemed like it would be possible to get out from under it so I took off for the Vista Point. A few miles before I got there the clouds started to break up and I got out from under the rain enough to watch it slowly make its way toward me as the sun was going down.

School district planning summer reading camps
Durham school officials expect as much as 75 percent of third-graders to attend a summer reading camp to comply with a new state mandate requiring reading proficiency before promotion.
Officials said the number of students required to attend the camps could be much lower, but that a beginning-of-grade reading assessment for third-graders showed only 25 percent "on track" to pass the end-of-grade reading test.
The 75 percent of students deemed "not on track" to pass the state's end-of-grade reading test is equivalent to 1,878 of the district's 2,504 third graders. Six-hundred and twenty-five of DPS third-graders are considered "on track" to pass the test.
Called "Read to Achieve," the Republican-backed mandate pushed by Senate leader Phil Berger requires all third-graders to pass the state end-of-grade reading exam before moving on to the fourth-grade.
The law provides five "good cause" exemptions from mandatory retention for students with fewer than two years instruction in an English as a Second Language program, students with disabilities, students who show proficiency on an alternative assessment, students who demonstrate proficiency through a reading portfolio and students who have received reading intervention and previously retained.
Stacey Wilson-Norman, deputy superintendent of academics for Durham Public Schools, noted during a meeting with the school board Monday that the beginning-of-grade assessment taken in August was based on third-grade material the students had not yet covered.
"Students took a third-grade EOG, just a different version," Wilson-Norman said. "So, these are third-grade students in August who had not been exposed to the third-grade curriculum."
Still, Wilson-Norman said the district is planning for the worst case scenario.
Only 34.6 percent of Durham's third-graders passed the state reading exam last school year, which was lower than the state-wide passing rate of 45.2 percent.
Under the plan, the school districts would hold reading camps at 10 schools, with nine of them serving multiple elementary schools.
E.K. Powe, for example, would host a camp for Hillandale, George Watts and Club Boulevard students and Sandy Ridge would serve Mangum, Little River and Eno Valley.
Pearsontown Elementary School would only serve students from its school.
"Pearsontown would need its own site purely because of its location on the southern side of town," Wilson-Norman said.
The new rule has raised ire in school districts across the state with local officials worried about the cost of running summer camps, loss of instructional time, excessive testing of students and the readability of passages in portfolio assessments.
The school board will consider a resolution state its concern about the requirement.
"I think we're living in crazy times here in North Carolina," said DPS Board of Education member Natalie Beyer.
In Durham, school officials are projecting that is will cost $1.46 million to run six weeks of summer camps that would begin the week of June 23-26 and end July 28-31.
For students on year-round calendars, the camps would take place during intercessions, beginning April 1-4 and ending July 7-10.
"You can see here, that this is a pretty full summer for those kids who have to participate," Wilson-Norman said.
She said arranging camps for students attending a year-round school is particularly tough because those students will not have taken their EOGs by the time camps begin in April and district will not know which students passed or failed.
She also said it's impossible to hold six weeks of camps on a year-round schedule.
"When we started looking at the year-round proposal dates, the only way we could get six weeks was to begin in April," Wilson-Norman said.
The school district, like others with year-round school, has asked to hold three weeks of reading camps for year-round students and extend the day beyond the three hours per day that's mandated in the law. The district has not yet heard from state education officials about whether the request has been approved.
