Oh Boohoo!! Get over yourself. The other driver apparently drives better than you do! You are in a vehicle, going over what constitutes safe speeds, there is a big chance that you will crash! Stop your whining or take your car and go home.
Let me get this straight. The police are now regulating races? No more "Rubbing is racing"? This guy shouldnt be on a race track if everyone has to stay away from him or he will call the cops.
Really? A guy punched another guy in the face. Thats assault. A police issue. They are not regulating races. It doesnt matter where you get assaulted, you can call the police. Dirty racing is dirty racing, you cant call the police for that. But you can track him down, kick his @ss and wait for the cops to show up. He will get a fine and probation and he has a better story to tell than the guy that got his @ss kicked! I would have done the same thing!
I hope ADHD gets their @ss kicked for these repeating posts obviously put on here from being jealous of something.
rickross...agree that ADHD has an issue but NO FACTS or a story to tell !!!!!!
ADHD That is really inappropriate and I turned u in for it. Whatever you have to gripe about, take it elsewhere. Just saying its inappropriate to list an address on here.

Jenson Button keen to repair damage to Formula 1 title quest
Posted: September 26, 2012|
Lewis Hamilton's failure to finish in Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix came hot on the heels of McLaren team-mate Jenson Button's retirement with a fuel pick-up problem while he was running second at the Italian Grand Prix.
Hamilton looked on course for his second win on the bounce as he led from pole under the lights of Singapore's Marina Bay Street Circuit, only to see a gearbox failure end his hopes of success and leave the English driver 52 points behind the championship leader, Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
The double failure has left McLaren languishing 38 points behind Red Bull in the Formula One constructors' championship, and Button believes it is a situation that his team must get on top of if they are to claw back that gap.
"It is affecting us in the constructors'," said the Somerset-born driver, who finished second to Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel in Singapore.
"It is such a shame because the team in every other area are doing such a good job. But two failures in two races is not what McLaren are about, so we have to solve these issues and move forward.
"The pace of the car is there, so that's why it is tough as well. We know we are throwing away a lot of points – 43 in the last two races – so, yes, it is pretty tough."
Button is now 75 points adrift in the title race but, like Hamilton, he is not throwing in the towel just yet.
"Neither of us are in a very good position, but it doesn't matter how far you are behind, if it's still possible, it's still possible, and I'll give it everything," he said.
"You don't see tennis players who are two sets down saying: 'Game over, I'm not going to win any more'.
"So we'll give it everything to the end, and we love racing as well, we fight every race we go into, and that's what we're going to do for the rest of the year."

The strategy title features asynchronous play, allowing you to keep up with several matches against friends or strangers while on the go. Robot clearly has plans to expand on this property, its first foray into the mobile market, with more teams and a la carte items.
Multiplayer tactics game lets you challenge friends to fantasy battles

Plano, Texas - January 11, 2011
Robot Entertainment today announced the launch of their first mobile title, Hero Academy, a head-to-head multiplayer tactics game. Gamers will choose a team to battle their friends with unique, customizable armies. The game features a variety of playable units, offering a wide range of magical attacks and abilities. Players must choose the best time to strategically upgrade units in order to conquer their enemies. Hero Academy is a free download, available today for iOS devices.
Hero Academy utilizes asynchronous multiplayer, so a player may battle friends across multiple simultaneous games, whenever they have a few moments of free time. Push notifications alert players to select moves from a range of options, like advancing across the game board, attacking, defending, or adding powerful items to the fray.
Once satisfied with their armies' five moves, gamers submit their orders or add a silly animated taunt. The game features a built-in chat system so adversaries can talk smack or simply stay in touch with each other. The first player to destroy their opponent's crystals is declared the winner, but not before a heated tug-of-war: will you focus your attacks on the crystal or spread your fire across the heads of your enemies? The game launches with the noble Council as a playable army, with more heroic teams, avatars and add-ons soon to be available via in-app purchase.
Hero Academyfeatures:
• Multiplayer Tactics Gaming on the Go – Challenge friends to one-on-one battles via online multiplayer.
• Asynchronous Strategy – Play a heated bout in twenty minutes or across a full day, whenever you have a few moments.
• Quick to Learn – Casual players can attack without mercy, while tactical gamers will love the strategic cat-and-mouse gameplay.
• Heroic Visuals – Colorful fantasy graphics highlight each character and the board's premium tiles.
• Vicious Variety – Each team has five unique units with different strengths and magical abilities. Two teams to start, with more coming soon.
This title marks Robot Entertainment's first foray into mobile game development, having become previously known for their titles Orcs Must Die! and Age of Empires Online.

Delta Airlines Breastfeeding Policy
Last night (8/14/11) on DELTA flight 3926 from Indianapolis to Raleigh, the flight attendant ordered me to either cover up or stop nursing my 8-month old even though no one but the attendant and my husband could even tell that I was nursing (we were already seated). When I declined due to the 85 degree temperature in the plane, and told the attendant that the Indiana State Code gives me the legal right to nurse my baby "in any location where I have the right to be," she publicly humiliated me over and over, and implied that we could be thrown off the plane for giving her "a hard time." I have never been so publicly degraded. Morally and legally, she was wrong. I am very active in the online breastfeeding advocacy movement and have shared this story with thousands of mothers this morning. This is not the first time DELTA has had this problem.

ProMedica to open orthopaedic and spine hospitalWritten by Patrick Timmis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
ProMedica will open the region's first freestanding hospital to offer exclusively orthopaedic and spine services this fall.
The hospital's first surgery is scheduled for Sept. 29. It will have its first full day Oct. 3.
ProMedica Wildwood Orthopaedic and Spine Hospital, which cost nearly $33 million to build, includes six operating rooms, 36 private patient rooms, inpatient physical therapy and comprehensive inpatient and outpatient diagnostic services.
The new hospital will need more than 200 new employees. Those employees will be transferred from inside ProMedica and hired from outside, said Darrin Arquette, the hospital's vice president of operations.
Paul Fenton, an orthopaedic surgeon at Toledo Hospital, said the exclusive focus of the new hospital would increase its efficiency and effectiveness.
"Right now the whole medical system is inefficient," Fenton said.
The hospital will focus on post-operative care of patients, and that is what the hospital's team says will set it apart.
"Hospitals are kind of jacks of all trades and masters of none," Fenton said. "And this is one of those things where you can say, 'This is all we do.'"
Wildwood will employ at least 17 surgeons. The exclusive focus on elective — as opposed to trauma or pediatric — orthopaedics will remove those patients from other area hospitals.
"The same type of surgery is going to be done here that's done in all the other hospitals currently," said orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Karl Beer. "We're going to have better outcomes. We're going to have less complications."
That shift will have the dual effect of opening more space and resources in hospitals and creating a more comfortable environment for Wildwood's patients, Arquette said.
These patients are typically healthy people with specific orthopaedic issues, he said, and it is difficult in most hospitals to promote an atmosphere of health for them when they are surrounded by people with much more serious illnesses.
The hospital is the eighth in the country and the first in the area to have a Hemosafe blood bank refrigerator installed, said Holly Bristoll, the new hospital's president. The device stores blood coded to patients' blood types so surgeons have a readily available supply should a transfusion be necessary during an operation.
But Beer said the goal is to only use the machine about 5 percent of the time — moving instead toward bloodless surgery, a technique he and other surgeons are utilizing more often.
"We actually found that people who required a blood transfusion after a hip or knee replacement had a 10 times higher rate of infection," Beer said.
The bloodless process, he said, allows
surgeons to operate without infection, with less pain, without blood clots and without using blood.
This is also ProMedica's first all-digital hospital. Information systems in the operating rooms allow doctors to immediately access a patient's records in case of surprises during surgery.
Fenton said the hospital would become particularly valuable to patients as baby boomers begin to have specifically orthopaedic needs.
"The patient experience I think will be phenomenal," Bristoll said.

Chiropractic in Grand Junction - is it right for me?
Grand Junction Chiropractors specialize in the interactions between our nerves, muscles and skeleton and their effects on our general health. They diagnose problems and use manual therapy, including joint adjustment and manipulation, to prevent and treat them.
Many people who seek Grand Junction chiropractic care do so for help with back pain, especially lower back pain, neck pain and headache. Spinal adjustment in Grand Junction or chiropractic adjustment is the most common method of treatment--it refers to the manual adjustment by the chiropractor of the three-joint complex at the base of your spine with sufficient force to create a sensation of 'release', increasing the joint's range and reducing pain.
A treatment plan may involve one or more manual adjustments. Many chiropractors in Grand Junction also incorporate nutritional counseling, exercise or rehabilitation into the treatment plan.
How is a Chiropractor licensed?
The Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) in Grand Junction must complete four academic years at a school accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education, as well as a one-year internship at an outpatient clinic owned and run by a chiropractic college. They are tested and certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, and licensed by the state in which they practice. To maintain licensure in most states, practitioners must complete a certain number of continuing education hours annually.
There are several schools of chiropractic adjustment techniques, although most chiropractors mix techniques from several schools. Some Applied Kinesiologists in Grand Junction are qualified as Chiropractors.

Why mds is standing on its own
Article of Michael Petry, Magaging Director of Schott Music and mds
Schott was established in 1770, and as one of the oldest music publishers has always made every effort to provide the highest quality of service as well as the highest quality of product. Our quality consciousness always forces us to look for the best composers and authors to represent in the music and art market. These high standards have built on the foundations of the, already successful and expanding, business established in the 19th century.
The necessity of being close to the target market was realised with the formation of Schott publishing houses in Antwerp (1823), Paris (1826), Brussels (1830), London (1835), Leipzig (1840) and later on in Sydney and Melbourne. Today the company has centres in Madrid, New York, London, Paris, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Toronto and Zurich with more than 260 employees worldwide.
Our wide product range is created from all of the major publishing genres: concert, opera, media (copyrights, music library and performances), printing (sheet music, books, multimedia), magazines as well as sound and electronic data carriers (through our companies Wergo, Intuition, Tuition). In addition to this we have always provided services for other publishers. We run a modern lending library; the Schott subsidiary Wega GmbH undertakes all production work of printed products; copyrights are managed and IT solutions are worked out; book-keeping including annual accounts is done; and we sell printed products. These services are not just available for ourselves but for our customers too. Here it becomes obvious that the traditional market situation of a company, competitors and customers is redundant, as competitors and customers can be quite alike and require similar services.
A very good example of this is the printing business. Our marketing and sales efforts are concentrated on selling our own products. The products sold are sheet music, books, DVDs etc. We have also, however, undertaken sales and distribution for other publishers. In the past, the terms sales and distribution have been used as a synonym. On closer examination it becomes apparent that this is not the case. Product distribution is a logistical service and requires that the term 'customer' has to be widened to encompass this new view-point: The individual publisher as customer asks the distributor for storage of his catalogue and to deliver the product upon requested to another customer, the dealer. With its services rendered the distributor serves as a bridge between publisher and trade.
It was inevitable that the distribution arm of Schott had to become more independent to generate better customer relations. Customer value strategy, quality and internationalisation are still today the important cornerstones of Schott strategy, which apply equally to their distribution services. Internationalisation nowadays means offering customer-orientated services locally and administrative and logistical functions from a central base. For this reason in 2001 we decided to close our UK distribution service, but to retain the customer service-centre for MDS Ltd. in Ashford, Kent. All logistical services have now been centralised in Mainz, Germany. Of prime importance in making this decision was the achievement of synergies facilitating unnecessary expenditure which enabled the freedom to develop new services for publishers and trade.
In 2004 the distribution arm of Schott was completely separated and became mds (music distribution services gmbh). The use of the original (MDS) name of our UK distribution service was decided upon for good reason. The name mds emphasises the international orientation of the company. mds aims to become the central European distribution service for music publishers offering a maximum level of service to the both publishing houses and the trade.
Relevant cost advantages can be made for all our customers through using our services. New products such as the B2B website www.mds-partner.com are developed and the range of goods is constantly being widened with additional products, for example Vienna World and the composers' wine edition.
Altogether, to separate mds has proved successful in the first year. We will continue to outline which services are offered by mds and which products are sold by Schott. The personnel are: Andreas Pawlenka, General Manager, is the overall head of mds; Susanne Hain, Head of Sales Department, is responsible for the sales areas in Central Europe and the USA; She is supported by Bernhard Müller, International Sales Manager, his responsibilities are for the sales of publishers not belonging to the Schott group as well as for export; Roberto Garcia, Sales Manager for the Commonwealth Countries and the Far East, is based in our London offices. With this segregation of duties we are superbly ready to face the challenges of the next years.

The F10 5-series has been in owner's garages for just over a month, but 5POST members have already started to tinker and work on their new cars, starting with the fundamental but important oil change. With these first DIYs, we have launched our F10 5-series DIY section. So for all you weekend garage warriors, come on in to share and absorb.
Bimmerpost member SkipSauls provides a great review (and photos) of the 2011 535i against the new X5 and the N54 335i. His perspective from being a long term 335i owner should provides some nice insight for those of you coming from the E90/E92 335i or another N54 based car.
Congrats to 5POST member ibimmer346 as he has managed to become our first U.S. owner of a 2011 5-series!! He managed to take delivery ahead of the official June 19 U.S. release date and has posted his first drive impressions. We look forward to seeing a flood of 5POST owners take delivery imminently!
Jeremy Clarkson has developed (rightfully so) a reputation as a bit of a sourpuss when it comes to BMWs. Thats why BMW owners take notice when he reviews a BMW favorably. And he does so very favorably in his review of the F10 BMW 535i, which he calls the "absolute best of absolutely everything we know." Pretty darn good endorsement if you ask us.
Here are exterior and interior photos of the space gray 2011 535i from the floor of the BMW display at the NY International Auto Show. This represents the U.S. premiere of the F10 535i. A 2011 550i is also present, which we will cover a bit later.
Bimmerpost is coming to you live from the 2010 NY International Autoshow. Although the BMW Press Conference won't take place until 3PM EST today, we've managed to sneak in some shots of the 335is coupe and the Alpina B7 AWD (both world premieres) for you. Stay tuned later today as we bring you more coverage!
Top Gear online has great things to say about the F10 535i after their test drive. Calling it a "serious return to form", with an excellent ride, smart details and lovely quality throughout. Check out their review.
I cant speak French, but despite the language barrier, this video review does its job well and reaches across all languages IMO. The sounds and action footage does the job very well
Just a reminder, the upcoming 535i will be equiped with the new N55 single turbo twin scroll engine producing 300hp that has made its first appearance in the 535i Gran Turismo and will be seen across nearly the entire BMW lineup.

Do you grab for your smartphone before anything else?
A report claims that 35% of Americans start-up an application on their Android or iPhone device before they even before they are out of the covers in the mornings.
Data collected by telecommunications equipment company Ericsson revealed that the most used app in the morning is one to check emails followed closely by social networking apps.
Data shows that 22% use a social networking app in the morning whilst still in bed; with Facebook unsurprisingly proven the most used app with 18% admitting that they log on first thing.
Apps with a social aspect are used throughout the day, peaking at lunchtime and early evening with nearly a quarter of users checking on Facebook or an app similar to the social networking site.
The research suggested that smartphone non-voice usage was at its highest early and late in the evening, averaging 64.5% whilst 1/5 would use an app whilst eating dinner.
The findings suggest a different way that smartphone's are used with more emphasis put on applications as opposed to voice utilisations with the ease of internet access enabling users to utilise the cloud-based services readily available.
An idea deepened by the research conducted by Ericsson, which saw 13% of Americans contemplating purchasing a Tablet as their next electronic item for the vast array of apps open to them.
Do you use an app before you get out of bed? Let us know your thoughts via Facebook and Twitter.

Two high school juniors who are residents of St. Petersburg will be selected to officially represent our city as goodwill ambassadors to Takamatsu this summer.

The high school juniors selected will receive free economy round trip airfare to Takamatsu and a home stay with a Japanese family (or families) for up to three weeks during the summer of 2006. After the exchange trip, each student must be available for interviews to promote the program for the next year. Each student agrees to share his or her experiences with students, civic groups and other interested citizens upon return from the exchange.
The application form is available at local high schools and city facilities including City Hall in the Mall at Tyrone Square, City Hall Action Center, recreation centers and libraries. It is also downloadable as a PDF (Portable Document File) from the city's web site, www.stpete.org/exchange.htm.

Apparently, people don't have too much of a problem saving money on Father's Day gifts.
A consumer survey reported by the National Retail Federation this year found that total spending on dads' gifts came to $12.5 billion, about $7.5 billion less than what consumers said they'd spend for Mother's Day gifts this year.
While it may seem like we're not as willing to splurge on dads, perhaps we're all just spending too much on other gift-giving holidays.
I say keep saving money on gifts; just make sure you're finding good deals on quality items.
Here's how to do it.
Dads who like the outdoors fall into several sub-categories, like the hunter, fisher, camper or kayaker. Maybe he's a combination of all these things. Dick's Sporting Goods is making it easy to shop for the dads who love the great outdoors with a storewide sale of up to 50 percent off.
Top chefs
If your dad is constantly watching the cooking channel on TV, then you may want to find a fun kitchen appliance or cookbook.
Walmart has some interesting gadgets, such as an oil-less fryer or waffle maker for less than $80. Kohl's also has a sale on kitchen gear for 20 percent off or more.
Digital dads
Gadgets or smart phone accessories never seem to get old for tech enthusiasts. If he doesn't have a way to stream movies on his TV, the Roku Streaming Player for $89 at Target may be a good idea.
You also can find smaller gadgets like Bluetooth speakers or smartphone cases at extra-low prices at Big Lots and Marshall's.
For the dads who spend a lot of their weekends in the yard or in the garage, Sears has a sale on pretty much any tool he'd need. Larger appliances for lawn and home maintenance are 20 percent off, and tools are up to 50 percent off.
The catch-all
If your dad doesn't have any prominent hobbies or interests, it's never a bad idea to go with tickets to an activity you can enjoy together. It can be as simple as movie tickets or something like an offshore fishing trip.
Social deal sites are always a good resource for affordable activity packages.

A Google Maps tool needs your help!
Who would have thought that a Google Maps tool that allows you find out where you would end up if you dug a hole to other side of the earth would become so popular? Well, it has and I'm hoping to help its creator, Luis Felipe, with a bit of a dilemma. With many popular news sites and blogs from all over the world covering his cool little Google Maps creation, traffic to the site is reaching very high levels. The tool, like many self-made Google Maps tools and mashups started out on a server that was never intended to accept many, many thousands of visits per day. If you or someone you know might consider hosting this, please post a comment to this blog-post with more details. I'm thinking that hosting companies might consider hosting the tool in exchange for some ad exposure, or something along those lines.

This is the way. Walk in it.
Just as Daniel and his friends stepped into uncharted territory and found that God still had a plan, kids can begin to understand that obedience to God does not always lead to the expected. The journey of a lifetime begins with an exciting relationship with Jesus that continues into eternity. Whenever faced with the unexpected, kids can know to listen for God's command; "this is the way. Walk in it."

DoD News Briefing with Geoff Morrell from the Pentagon Briefing Room, Arlington, Va.
Presenter: Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell
January 08, 2009
Hello, all. Good afternoon. A belated happy new year to all of you.
I must tell you, I'm very excited about 2009 and working closely with all of you for the next year. That's everyone except Lita Baldor, of course, with the Associated Press. As some of you may know, this is Lita's last briefing here at the Pentagon after several years on this beat.
Lita, we are sorry to see you go. We will miss you and your good nature and your conscientious reporting and, not least of which, your world-wide shopping sprees.
There you go. (Laughter.)
MR. MORRELL: We wish you nothing but the best as you move on to cover counterterrorism for the AP.
Lita, as you know, is the latest in a wave of veteran Pentagon reporters who are leaving this beat, reluctantly, I presume. Other recent departures include Lita's AP colleague Bob Burns, CNN's Jamie McIntyre and AFP's Jim Mannion, all of whom had covered the military for more than a decade and did so in a highly responsible manner. They are already missed around here, but I am certain their successors will rise to the occasion and do a great job as well.
However, in honor of the fact this is Lita's last briefing -- and I don't expect to see you round here in the near future -- but have -- you have the first question today. Lita?
Q Thank you. Mr. Schlesinger today talked about the fact that there may be a willingness within the department to create this new assistant secretary of defense for deterrence. Is that accurate? Do you see this happening? And has the secretary made any comments about that?
MR. MORRELL: Well, let me start off by reiterating the secretary's thanks for Secretary Schlesinger's hard work and that of his panel. As you know, this is their second and final report. They've been at this for months now. They've worked incredibly diligently, putting in a tremendous effort that produced a series of thoughtful and actionable recommendations with respect to some very complex and serious issues.
That said, it's a comprehensive report. It's a lengthy report. The secretary has just recently gotten it. He wants to spend some time going through it. He also wants to spend some time evaluating it with the new service secretaries when they are named and with the rest of the new Defense team that the Obama administration will be appointing over here.
So I don't think we're prepared, at this point, to embrace any single recommendation, although frankly with regards to the first part of the report, as you know, the Air Force -- and that dealt specifically with the Air Force -- the Air Force has already undertaken many of the corrective measures that the panel had recommended.
But in terms of the second phase of their report, I don't think we're prepared now to embrace any single recommendation other than to say that the totality of the work is appreciated, it's thoughtful, we will seriously consider all of the recommendations, and we'll work with the new defense team to figure out which ones to proceed with.
Q So Secretary Schlesinger was mistaken when he says that he believes there's a willingness?
MR. MORRELL: I didn't, frankly, hear Secretary Schlesinger's briefing with you all. I can just tell you sort of what the status of this -- of his work is now within the department, which is that it has been warmly received, it is going to be thoroughly reviewed, both by the secretary and the new team that will work with him, and there will be determinations made at a future date as to which of the recommendations to proceed with.
But fundamentally -- and the secretary made this clear to Secretary Schlesinger when they met -- you know, it is the conclusion of the secretary -- of both secretaries, in this case, that the U.S. nuclear deterrent remains safe, secure and reliable, so no one would doubt our capabilities or our resolve to defend U.S. and allied interests by deterring aggression.
But as I think Secretary Schlesinger noted, the report certainly does identify trends, both recent and long term, that warrant corrective action, and we are going to certainly consider the ways he suggested to solve some of those problems.
Okay? Yeah, Andrew.
Q Geoff, on the transition, can you say how quickly the secretary expects to have some key posts filled in the new administration? How quickly does he expect to have deputies and other key people in place?
MR. MORRELL: Well, he hopes to have them filled as soon as humanly possible. I would hope -- we would hope that it could happen as soon as possible. I don't want to preempt any announcement that may or may not be coming out of the presidential-elect's transition team. I would really refer you to them in terms of the timing of such things.
All I can tell you is that the secretary, as I think I mentioned to you before, has been intimately involved in the process of interviewing candidates. He's personally interviewed several of them and has made recommendations based upon those interviews to the president-elect. And I think we are at the point where we are waiting for their next move, so I'd refer you to them in terms of how soon that may or may not happen.
Q Do you have any sense of how many recommendations he's made so far?
MR. MORRELL: I wouldn't want to characterize it because he's been involved in this on really a daily basis. I think he's been meeting with people.
So I -- whatever number I gave you may be obsolete by the time I say it.
So -- but I would -- I would put it this way: He has been busy working with the transition team on identifying appropriate candidates for the various vacancies throughout the department, personally interviewing many of them, and making recommendations to the president-elect about whether or not they should be hired. And I think we're just waiting to see when some announcements will take place.
But I think he's pleased, generally, with the pace of the process thus far. I think he feels as though he's made some good progress -- they've made some good progress towards identifying very -- some very capable candidates to fill some -- some very big jobs within the department.
Q Transition, Geoff?
MR. MORRELL: Yeah.
Q Have any of the service secretaries or undersecretaries indicated that they will not be able to continue serving through the term of the transition?
MR. MORRELL: You know, I -- one thing I want to try to avoid, I think, is getting into individual cases. I would put it this way, Bill: I think that all of the service secretaries has expressed a willingness to stay on past the 20th of January, past the 20th of this month, until such time as their successor can come -- is confirmed and can come on board and they can hand the baton off to him or her. I believe that to be the case. That -- that was my last best knowledge of this, is that all had agreed to that. I will double-check on that this afternoon.
As for the unders, I believe that the unders -- that the vast majority of the unders are in the same situation. They have expressed a willingness to stay on and serve until their successors can get on the job.
Q (Off mike) –
MR. MORRELL: In fact, I would say that about all the -- really about all the presidential appointees within the department. You know, before we went away on holiday break, as you know, there were a series of e-mails that were sent out, notifying the 200 or -- I think roughly 230-(2)40 presidential appointees within the department that the transition team would be contacting them if, indeed, their service was not needed after the 20th. I think those notifications have been made. And subsequent to that, another e-mail went out, asking that those who had not been asked to leave on the 20th, those who were willing to stay should notify us by the 7th -- yesterday, I believe that is.
I think we have gotten those notifications, and I would say the vast majority of -- I don't know, I think at least -- about roughly 140 people have expressed a willingness to stay in their positions and serve -- continue to serve after the 20th, until their successors can come on board. So that ensures that there will not be any void in leadership, any vacuum in any of these offices after the 20th.
So the secretary's very pleased that we were able to work out this arrangement. He would have ideally liked all the presidential appointees to stay on until their successors could come on board, because he wants to make sure there is continuity throughout the department. But I think enough have been invited to and enough have agreed to such that there will be a smooth transition throughout this department.
Q And you'll check on the service secretaries this afternoon?
MR. MORRELL: Yeah. I'm pretty sure I'm accurate on that, but I will double-check on that. Yeah.
Yeah, Luis, sorry.
Q A check on the transition as well. The secretary, I believe, met with the rest of the incoming national security team -- with the Obama transition team earlier this week. Are there further meetings scheduled? And what are those discussions? What are they -- what's the context? What are they taking -- what's taking place? Are they policy discussions or is it more personnel matters? What's going on?
MR. MORRELL: Yeah. I may not be totally satisfying on this topic, Luis, other than to tell you that the secretary has been meeting regularly with the president-elect and his team. I think we talked before the break about a couple of trips to Chicago.
But since the president-elect has arrived in Washington, I can tell you they have -- they have met with some frequency on a number of topics. And I would describe them only as, you know, those relating to national security and defense policy. I'm not going to break down what specifically they've been addressing during the course of these meetings, nor will I in the future.
Maybe the transition team is more comfortable doing so, but the secretary is not, so I'm not going to.
Q Geoff, there appears to be some difference of opinion between some of the service chiefs, between Admiral Mullen and General Petraeus in particular about the way ahead in Afghanistan. Can you describe the nature of the difference of opinion right now about the way forward and what the discussion is based around?
MR. MORRELL: I, frankly, am not aware of any disagreements within this department about the way ahead in Afghanistan.
Q They all agree?
MR. MORRELL: I think everybody is pretty much in agreement on how we -- how we move forward in Afghanistan.
I think everybody believes that more troops are necessary and that, as the secretary has said, he's looking to fulfill the commander's request, which is four additional brigade combat teams. That's the 3rd [Brigade Combat Team] of the 10th [Mountain Division], which arrives this month, and three others which have yet to be identified.
You saw that the 82nd Airborne was going to be the aviation combat brigade, which is -- which will go over in the spring. So I think there is fundamental agreement that more forces are necessary to combat the rising levels of violence that we have seen in Afghanistan, particularly in the east and in the south.
Now, what happens after you get those additional four BCTs and the combat aviation brigade, such that you nearly double the number of forces, American forces, you have in country? That's the next discussion to be had. And the secretary has said he is -- he is -- he is very mindful of the fact that there is a tipping point in terms of the American footprint -- the coalition footprint, for that matter -- on the ground in Afghanistan. So he wants to be very careful beyond those -- those -- beyond the commander's request as to how many more troops we would ever consider putting in.
Fundamentally, this has to be an Afghan-led operation. It is and must remain that way. And, what's more important, the Afghan people must recognize it as such. We are there to assist them attain a level of peace and security that has eluded them, really, for centuries.
Q And what is the status of the various reviews that are taking place right now?
MR. MORRELL: Well, I know that, you know, there was -- there was a review by -- by the national security staff. I think the secretary has talked to you all a little bit about that. There are some excellent ideas in there. I think that is being shared with the president-elect and his team. General Petraeus has a review under way that I think is expected to conclude in February. I think the chairman had an Afghanistan-Pakistan review that is -- that is ongoing.
So a lot of reviews, but the secretary believes that thus far, from what he's seen, that there's some excellent ideas that are -- that are being -- that are being attained through this process. And so I think that once the new team is onboard, I think you'll look at some -- some earnest discussion about whether we should adopt any of these ideas that have come out of these reviews.
But to your fundamental point, I really am not aware of any great debate within the department about how to proceed in Afghanistan.
Yeah, Courtney.
Q Quickly on that.
MR. MORRELL: Yeah.
Q The secretary said a few weeks ago that he expected the four brigades to be in Afghanistan in "summertime," I think was his exact word he used. Is that still the belief in the department, that they'll be in Afghanistan then?
MR. MORRELL: I think what he said is that the -- we will begin the flow -- these additional BCTs in after the 3rd [Brigade Combat Team] of the 10
[Mountain Division], and the combat aviation brigade in late spring/early summer. As for getting all four of them in, I don't believe the secretary has identified a date by which that would take place. I think it's going to take way beyond the summer to have all four BCTs in country. But this -- we will begin the flow of the additional -- the remaining three starting in the spring -- late spring/early summer of this year.
Q Do you expect all four of them to be on the ground in Afghanistan this calendar year, at least?
MR. MORRELL: I am not in a position to tell you at this point. But I would not hold your breath for all four to be there late spring/early summer. I think it's going to take beyond that.
Yeah, Jim.
Q Is there a –
MR. MORRELL: Oh, Jim's still here! I didn't even recognize -- I thought you were supposed to be gone. (Laughs.)
Q I'll be here for a few more weeks.
MR. MORRELL: Few more weeks? Oh, my goodness. (Laughter.)
All right, let me amend my remarks at the beginning here.
Q (Off mike.)
MR. MORRELL: All right. Sorry, Jim.
Q The -- forgot my question. (Laughter.) Clever.
MR. MORRELL: I've never seen Mannion flustered like that.
Q Sorry, Geoff.
MR. MORRELL: He's beet red! We'll come to back to you, Jim.
Ken, do you have anything?
Q Oh, no, now I remember.
MR. MORRELL: Okay. (Laughter.)
Q Is there the same agreement on pace for the drawdown on Iraq? I mean, you could argue that the next phase of the -- of the drawdown in Iraq will be possibly riskier than the first phase. And so is there -- you know, is there agreement on how quickly you can bring out, you know, brigades from Iraq that might free up troops for Afghanistan?
MR. MORRELL: Two things.
I think on the -- with regards to your last point, I wouldn't -- I know we've talked much in the past about how plussing-up in Afghanistan is necessitated by drawing down in Iraq. I'm not so sure that is the case for all of the additional BCTs.
That said, with regard to whether there's agreement on the pace of drawdown in Iraq, I can just tell you -- and I think you were on the trip with us, Jim -- that the secretary, in December, met with Generals Odierno and Austin in Balad.
They had an excellent discussion about some of the initial planning that General Odierno is considering for drawdowns in this year. But I don't believe that we have come to any conclusion yet as to how that will take place.
I would also alert you to the fact, as I'm sure you know, that there is scheduled to be an historic election that takes place in Iraq, provincial elections, in four weeks time. And then there will be two subsequent elections in Iraq this year. So there will be some security needs throughout this year that have to be factored into whatever drawdown plans there are.
I would also, while you have me on the subject, just draw your attention to some remarkable milestones that have taken place this month. On the 1st of January, obviously, the SOFA kicked in, as did the Strategic Framework Agreement, marking a new day in our relations with Iraq. We have turned over control of the International Zone to the Iraqi security forces. We have opened a new United States embassy in Baghdad.
Security incidents in December numbered fewer than 600. That is the lowest number since the summer of 2003, just after the invasion. Violence is down 65 percent in 2008 from last year. High-profile attacks are down 55 percent. Remarkably -- and although this is a metric we don't like to use, it's one that can't be ignored, I don't think -- U.S. deaths in Afghanistan [sic – Iraq] numbered 312 last year, versus 886 the previous year. One is too many, but that is a stunning, stunning drop in casualties in Iraq.
Electricity production up 25 percent in megawatts, to 16 hours a day, on average, throughout the country. Oil production up a hundred percent in the north. Elections, as you know, are four weeks away. Fifteen million voters are expected. Fourteen thousand candidates are running. So there is much to be -- much to be encouraged by in Iraq thus far this year.
That said, we have seen a couple of dastardly and deadly high- profile attacks, so al Qaeda and some of the special groups remain a threat to peace and stability in that country, and that's why there is still a requirement for U.S. forces on the ground.
Yeah, Joe?
Q I have a question on the war in Gaza. Do you see any serious implications of the current Israeli operations on the region?
MR. MORRELL: Do I see serious implications? I mean, I would really refer you, on that kind of stuff, Joe, to the State Department. They're probably a better gauge of geopolitical implications than I am or that we are over here.
Obviously, this is something we're watching very closely. We have -- the Defense Department is not involved in any of this action. I mean, the only thing that we have any sort of tangential relationship to is sort of an Army Corps of Engineers consulting or advisory role, a civilian program where we are helping the Egyptians sort of go after some of these tunnels that exist down near Rafah between Egypt and the Gaza strip. But you're talking about a couple of handfuls of civilians in an advisory capacity to the Egyptians, who are the lead on that operation. And that's been going on, I think, for several months, maybe more than a year.
But, you know, we have a long-standing relationship with Israel, a long-standing military-to-military relationship with Israel, and we certainly support their right to defend themselves.
Q Change subjects?
MR. MORRELL: Yeah. Barbara has –
Q To clarify, when you said go after the tunnels, what is it that they're actually doing?
MR. MORRELL: I think they're identifying -- let me just see how it's described here. We're providing technical expertise in tunnel detection. So I think -- there's been no secret of the fact that these problems -- that these tunnels are used to smuggle all sorts of contraband and, more importantly, to smuggle weapons, and some of the more accurate and high-tech rockets that you're seeing being launched at Israeli towns from inside Gaza. The belief is that those are being funneled through Egypt, through those tunnels, emanating in some cases from Iran, through those tunnels into Gaza, and then being used by Hamas to fire upon, you know, Israeli civilians -- Israeli civilians.
So there has been a concerted effort for some time by the Egyptians to go after some of these tunnels, detect them, block them, eliminate them, and I think the Army Corps of Engineers has provided some technical advice on how to do so.
Q But they've suspended that right now, right?
MR. MORRELL: I think right now, because of the violence, no one is anywhere close to the border at this point.
Q Just to make sure, is it solely -- is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers role anything beyond assisting or advising in detection?
MR. MORRELL: As I described it, it is strictly technical advice.
Q In detection?
MR. MORRELL: Yeah.
Q Okay. Can I just ask one other very quick –
MR. MORRELL: Sure.
Q On Guantanamo Bay, can you give us any update about the secretary's review on -- or assessment or whatever it was -- on how to close Gitmo?
MR. MORRELL: I don't have one.
Q Do you know if he's briefed the president-elect on it yet?
MR. MORRELL: I'm not going to -- as I said before, I'm not going to discuss what he has or has not briefed the president-elect or his team about, other than to say it would fall under the framework of national security and defense policy issues.
Ken? Yeah.
Q We've been told that the secretary had a conversation on Sunday with his Israeli counterpart about Gaza. Has he had any subsequent conversations with Minister Barak? And in any conversation, has Barak given him an indication of how long the current operation is going to continue?
MR. MORRELL: I wouldn't characterize what, if anything, Minister Barak said to the secretary on time lines or the need for the operation. We have told you, and I will confirm for those who haven't heard it, that they did have a conversation over the weekend. And as far as I know, Ken, that is the only conversation they have had since this operation began some days ago.
Obviously, there are many people in this department who deal, probably almost on a daily basis, with their counterparts in Israel, and throughout the region, for that matter, even preceding this conflict. And I presume that continues now. So there are contacts between us and the Israelis, and others in the region. But in terms of that high-level a conversation, I think that's been the exclusive one at this point.
Q Well, more broadly, then, have we gotten any indication from any Israeli official as to how long the current operation is going to –
MR. MORRELL: I would refer you to the State Department, because I think Secretary Rice is the one who's been dealing most directly with the Israelis on this matter.
Q One more, on a different subject, if I may.
MR. MORRELL: Yeah.
Q Do you have any idea when the new supp is going to go up to the Hill?
MR. MORRELL: Well, you know, the secretary sent a letter to Congressman Murtha sort of providing his best guess, his personal estimate on what he thinks the second half of the '09 global war on terror budget supplemental will likely be, with a big caveat in there -- a couple of big caveats. One is that his number, which was nearly $66 billion, does not take into account the additional forces that will be flowing into Afghanistan this year; nor does it take into account that there's a new commander in chief coming onboard who will likely have some opinions about how he wants to budget for this department, and a team that will be working for him.
So there's got to be some consultations once the team is in place, but I know it's the secretary's desire to deal with this -- and for that matter, I know it's the president-elect's team's desire to deal with this -- as soon as possible so that the Congress can act on it as soon as possible.
But I couldn't tell you specifically when that will take place. We are meeting regularly on this matter. But I don't think we've come to any conclusion about how soon.
Q It's going to be after the 20th, judging from what you've said though.
(Cross talk.)
MR. MORRELL: Well, sure. Yeah the new -- there's got to be a new president before he can influence budgetary matters.
Q Geoff, how much does the secretary think it will cost to flow those U.S. forces into Afghanistan?
MR. MORRELL: I don't have an estimate. And he did not provide one to Congressman Murtha. But I mean, suffice it to say, that number will likely have to be higher, unless there are tradeoffs made within the -- within what's being asked for.
Yeah, Donna.
Q How about the high priority programs the secretary's had: the MRAPs, the ISR, the wounded warrior support? How much emphasis do you expect those programs to continue receiving into the new administration? And are there any other new, key programs you think have been talked about or that the secretary's looking at?
MR. MORRELL: I think all three of those will continue to be a priority.
I mean, MRAPs are sort of -- while it started off in a task force mode, sort of had this urgent emergency feel to it, it is now almost an institutionalized program. And in fact, we have nearly built all the MRAPs that have been identified as needed. The main focus of efforts lately has been trying to get more MRAPs to Afghanistan. And I think we have -- I think we're up to 1,100 now in Afghanistan.
So that is a positive development there. We will likely need more in Afghanistan. And we will likely need more of these new, lighter MRAPs that are being pursued now. So MRAPs will remain a priority although certainly, I think, will take less of the secretary's time than they had occupied over the past 18 months or so.
ISR will remain a priority although that too has become pretty well institutionalized. There are now people how appreciate, as the secretary does, how important this is to our warfighters. And so I think they are committed to seeing his vision through to reality.
And finally on Wounded Warrior, I think, you will see this take even more of the secretary's time in the coming year, years, whatever it ends up being, than even it has over the past couple of years.
And I can tell you it's occupied a significant portion of his time. But he is not done in that realm. He has many more things he wishes to accomplish. He thinks we've made great progress but are still not good enough. And so look for more in that realm.
And as for any new additional programs, I hate to do this to you, but I'm going to tell you -- have to tell you to wait and see. I mean, clearly he's identified to you, and in interviews subsequent to him being asked to stay on, that he does want to deal with acquisition and procurement. He has some issues that are -- that he punted, he thought, to the next secretary, but he's going to have to be the recipient of those kicks. And, you know, whether it be the tanker or whether it be F-22, there are some issues that he's going to have to deal with. But I think they're going to be dealt with in the context of his desire to take some corrective measures on acquisition and procurement, and so I think, you know -- in addition to the fact that I think budget issues are going to be a very big, big consumer of his time.
In the -- you know, we've got, obviously, a very difficult financial climate. And we've got a -- the next budget has to go up to the Hill shortly after the new administration takes over. We've got a Quadrennial Defense Review which is coming up. We've got a new National Defense Strategy, which the new president has to submit, I think, by June. We've got a nuclear posture statement which has to be done.
So there are a lot of budget and policy matters that are going to eat up a lot of his time, but have the potential to really impact the direction of this department for years to come. So I think you'll see, in the first several months of this administration, a great deal of the secretary's time devoted to dealing with those issues.
Q Geoff –
MR. MORRELL: I'll take two more, and then we've got to go. Let's do Ann, and then we'll end, as we began, with Lita -- unless you have something urgent, Courtney
Q Well, I guess not.
MR. MORRELL: Ann.
Q Okay. Well, this just quick. On Afghanistan, how long -- I mean, do you see the increase of these four brigades as being something that would continue indefinitely? The commander there has emphasized that he would not describe this as a surge; that there is a need for a long-term increase in Afghanistan that would be sustained for a significant period of time.
MR. MORRELL: I have not heard, Ann, a great deal of discussion on that, to give you an informed enough answer, frankly. I think the need -- the immediate need is to get additional boots on the ground to put down some of the increases of violence we've seen in the east and in the south.
I understand the arguments and appreciate the difference between a sustained commitment and a surge. I think that the secretary clearly does have concerns about the footprint and he does have concerns about making sure we are there and it's recognized that we are there in support of the Afghan people. And so we are going to be very, very mindful of that.
And so I don't think we're in a position to tell you that there are going to be 60,000 American forces, you know, ninety -- nearly a hundred thousand coalition forces on the ground in Afghanistan for the foreseeable future. I don't think anybody is ready to say that. But I think there is a recognition here, and among our allies, frankly, that more troops are needed in the short term to deal with the recent rise in violence we've seen.
And let's -- I will indulge you. Yes.
Q This is quick. Does the new policy on not awarding Purple Hearts to post-traumatic stress –
MR. MORRELL: Oh, yeah, just quick. Just quick, yeah.
Q It's quick. Believe me, you can use a one-word answer.
Is there any concern -- there's been some critics who've said that this will just increase the stigma that the department has been trying to decrease or eliminate about post-traumatic stress patients. Is there any concern? What are the secretary's feelings on that criticism?
MR. MORRELL: I have not heard that criticism. But I wouldn't -- the one thing I would caution people about on this is I think -- awards are very, very sensitive matters and taken very, very seriously in this department. It's not as though there's one guy in this building who determines these matters. There's committees involving inside and outside experts, and there's history, and there are very, very precise criteria.
I think this was looked at a while ago. The conclusion then is, as it is now, that PTSD does not qualify, given the 76-year definition of what a Purple Heart recipient is. So, you know, the secretary when he got this question, I think when we were down at the Red River Army Depot, he thought it was worth re-addressing, and so he asked them to take another look at it.
They have. I think he appreciates the conclusion they've come to. But I don't think anybody should assume that that decision is in any way reflective on how seriously we take the problem of PTSD in this department.
I think we will have spent about a billion dollars on research, development, treatment, preventative measures. And I think you will see more and more money being spent to combat this very real problem that we are all terribly concerned with.
So just because an awards committee believes this particular injury does not qualify for this award, does not in any way reflect that we don't take this problem seriously and aren't committed to doing everything we possibly can towards preventing it, towards treating it, towards taking care of those who are suffering with it.
Q This is also quick -- just on piracy, the new task force on piracy, do you have any visibility on the formation of the task force and what other countries may or may not be involved?
MR. MORRELL: I think it's so new at this point, Lita, that right now, I think, it's just U.S. ships that are involved. I think we would welcome and invite our coalition partners to join in Task Force 151, which NAVCENT has just stood up, I think, this week.
I think we certainly welcome -- I think there are some Chinese naval ships that are steaming towards the Gulf of Aden now. And we welcome their participation. I think it's a historic development from the Chinese navy's point of view, in the sense that they are going an awfully long way from home and participating in this international effort.
So we -- I think the focus of this, versus what we have been doing thus far, to date, Task Force 150, as you know, had been in existence focused primarily on counterterrorism, counterproliferation. The idea here, I think, from Admiral Gortney in NAVCENT, is to focus a task force exclusively on counterpiracy. And so it's in its infant stages now.
We believe we have the authority necessary for this group to make some real impact on piracy. I think my statistics showed, I think, we've got 16 ships that at this point are -- have been hijacked by pirates.
I think this week there were some additional attempts, but a number of them were thwarted. I think you've seen more active engagement by a number of the coalition militaries that are in the area. I think you're seeing -- seeing some more aggressive tactics being used by them to thwart would-be hijackings.
So I think we're making some progress in this area, and I think that Task Force 151 is another tool towards combating this problem.
Okay. Thanks so much.
