By Douglas J. GillertAmerican Forces Press Service
FORT IRWIN, Calif., July 21, 1999 Hot. Dry. Dusty. Remote. "Halfway between Hollywood and Hell," a soldier sitting on a curb outside the visitors quarters muttered as she took a swig from a sweating cola can in the meager shade of a scraggly tree.
If the Army's National Training Center comprises mostly hundreds of square miles of desert and mountains with not much vegetation, the main post is a green and inviting oasis of neat buildings and well-manicured lawns. It's here the soldiers return from field training, where they shop, eat and get their medical care. Housing is limited and many married soldiers find homes off post -- quite a distance off post, considering it's at least 40 miles by car to the nearest community.
Health care used to be one of the most contentious things about desert life for these soldiers and their families. Before TRICARE, the DoD managed health care plan, arrived four years ago, emergency and specialty care often involved extended travel and time away from home and work. It meant spending money for baby sitters, hotels, gas and other necessities some of the younger families couldn't really afford but had to, anyway.
But TRICARE came, and things changed. They got -- and keep getting -- better. So much better that a 1998 patient survey revealed a 97 percent satisfaction rate with health care, 20 points higher than the year before.
Today, a network of civilian primary and specialty health care complements the care given at the Weed Army Community Hospital, here. Instead of having to send people as far away as Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, the hospital supplements its in-house care with civilian medical services available in Southern California. That means less time away from jobs and homes, a plus for families and commanders.
"Our current plan of health care at Fort Irwin and in the surrounding community has enhanced the readiness of soldiers," said Brig. Gen. William G. Webster Jr., National Training Center commander. "Our soldiers and their families know that if something goes wrong, they will be taken care of."
In October 1996, things went terribly wrong for Dian Bower. Doctors found cancer in her brain and scheduled her for surgery. She survived the surgery, but cancerous cells remained, and her Army doctors referred her to a neurology clinic in Los Angeles. There, while she got the health care that would eventually free her of the murderous cancer cells, the TRICARE Service Center took care of her bills and helped her get around the congested city.
Bower wonders whether she'd be alive today without the benefits of TRICARE. She knows she would have gotten expert care back East at Walter Reed, but she's grateful she could remain near home, family and friends.
"I firmly believe that I would not be here today if it were not for the quick and correct response my primary care manager gave me and the assistance TRICARE provided," said Bower, who recently moved to Oklahoma. "I'm thankful they took such good care of me."
Meeting patient needs is Army Dr. (Col.) Michael McCaffrey's highest priority as commander of the Fort Irwin hospital. McCaffrey brought to the job a philosophy developed after years of private practice. "If the customer doesn't come through the door, you don't make any money," he said.
Although the Army hospital isn't in the health care business to make money, McCaffrey saw that a large portion of his patient population -- family members and retirees -- had health care choices. They didn't have to enroll in TRICARE. But hospital capabilities, including equipment and staffing, are based on the number of patients they treat. So, to bring in as many family member and retiree patients as he can, McCaffrey gave them appointments on the same day they call (or when it's convenient for them) and made sure they see the same providers as much as possible.
McCaffrey also responded to military readiness needs, reducing the time soldiers spend at sick call from a half-day or longer to no more than an hour or two. Weed doesn't really have sick call anymore; soldiers are enrolled with a primary care manager and receive short-notice appointments when they're feeling ill.
TRICARE also has brought more preventive medicine programs to the fort, a move Webster said has made his troops healthier than ever. The center commander said soldiers score an average of 250 out of a possible score of 300 on the annual Army physical fitness test, and there appears to be less smoking and drinking than in the general population.
"Preventive maintenance in the medical area is paying great dividends," Webster said.
In her role as "mayor" of family housing, Carol Reynolds also hears good things about medical care at Fort Irwin. She said McCaffrey and his staff want to know about problems that surface and are quick to remedy them.
But Reynolds' experience with Weed is also personal. The wife of an active-duty officer and mother of two children, she and her son, Robert, suffer from asthma and environmental allergies. Most important to her is seeing the same doctor -- they do -- and not being treated as a number. They aren't.
"This has been a very favorable experience," she said of the health care at Fort Irwin. "The doctors don't mind talking with me, giving me literature. They want me to be informed, so I can take an active role in my son's care."
She likes being able to use the health care hot line here to get advice any time of the day or night. "It doesn't matter whether it's a cold or an emergency," she said. "The [on-call primary care manager] will call you back quickly."
Well-traveled as an Army wife, Reynolds has seen TRICARE's impact here and at other bases. She likes recent changes to the system that allow members of TRICARE Prime, the plan's health maintenance option, to transfer from one region to another without having to dis-enroll at the old location and re-enroll at the new one. And she likes the improved relationships between patients and their physicians.
"Doctors in the Army have become more aware of their patients," she said.
"The primary care managers get to know their patients," Webster affirmed. "Our soldiers spend 14 days of every month in the field. They know their doctors and know that their families will be taken care of."

Cloud computing improves communication, teleworking capabilities
By utilizing scalable cloud computing services, organizations can improve their teleworking capabilities and allow employees outside the office to be just as productive as those stuck in the office. With next-generation collaborative communication solutions, cloud computing is now seen as a technology that will forever change the way companies perform operations, according to a NextGov report.
Instead of storing data and applications on-site, businesses can host their resources in off-premise banks, resulting in fewer maintenance demands and more financial savings. Meanwhile, a centralized network makes managing security and applying updates that much easier, enabling businesses to focus on more pressing issues, the news source said.
In order for a business to get the most from the cloud, it's overall migration should be thoroughly planned. Getting the initial stages of cloud hosting correct is especially important, NextGov noted, as today's capabilities are likely only the tip of the next-generation collaborative iceberg.
According to a SYS-CON Media report, the cloud will continue progressing gradually as more organizations implement the technology in the coming years.

PORTLAND, Maine -- Former first lady Barbara Bush has celebrated her 86th birthday by reading to young patients at The Barbara Bush Children's Hospital at the Maine Medical Center.
With her two dogs sitting at her feet Wednesday, Bush read "Learning to Ski With Mr. Magee" to 20 sick children gathered along with their families.
Afterward, Bush was presented with a lilac tree decorated with cards created by the children. She said it would be planted at the family's summer home in Maine.
Bush, a longtime promoter of family literacy, and former President George H.W. Bush spend summers at their seaside home in Kennebunkport, 35 miles south of Portland.

Hackleman Wanted To Change Liddell's Style, Chuck Wanted To Go Out A Banger
"Towards the end of his career I begged him not to so much and he still wouldn't. He would not stop bangin'. He banged 'till the end. He couldn't help it. We would spend hours and hours and hours [on it]. We put the little thing down between his chin and his shoulders to keep his chin down. To keep his hands up, I'd put weights in his hands, stuff under his arms. Hours and hours and he would drill it, drill it, drill it. The second he hit someone and just saw that little spark in the eye, that killer instinct would take over and he'd drop his hands to his hips, put his chin up in the air and just start swinging for the knockout. He'd forget everything. When his chin wasn't quite what it was? He didn't want to change his style. We didn't want to turn into a more cerebral game. He wanted to go out a banger and he did."
During his recent stint on the JRE, legendary trainer to Chuck Liddell, John Hackleman, discussed the final days of Liddell's career as a fighter.
0 Responses to "Hackleman Wanted To Change Liddell's Style, Chuck Wanted To Go Out A Banger"

Earlier this summer, the annual FreedomFest — a major libertarian event — was held in Las Vegas, bringing more than 2,000 guests, including Steve Forbes, to discuss ideas such as sovereignty, free markets and the role of government. Now, a survey taken after the event has shed some light on the modern libertarian movement.
The poll was conducted by Bernhoft Law founder Robert Bernhoft and partner Robert Barnes, who attended the Las Vegas meeting. They are reporting that "the two feelings that rang through loud and clear were a passion for change, and a frustration with the obfuscation of what is fair play on the part of our Federal government's tax laws."
Specifically, the respondents defined the Federal taxation system is "archaic and broken," and expressed their preference for a flat tax.
Some participants were also unhappy with the common practice in the legal community, whereby some tax attorneys — whose job it is to defend individuals accused of tax crimes by the IRS —are former IRS agents or Federal prosecutors. In the libertarians' view, this previous involvement with the system risks clouding these attorneys' ability to serve their clients.
The next FreedomFest will take place in July 2011 in Las Vegas, and will bring more than 150 speakers, 100 exhibitors and an estimated 2,000 attendees at "the world's largest gathering of free minds," according to the event's website.

Hi Steph! That sky is very ominous, and I can see why it caught your eye!! As I've said before, I don't think your phone does your talent any favours - I can see some gorgeous wave lines coming in, had you used your camera you could have zoomed in and captured them at their best. You have caught some wonderful cloud colours and formations. Also, the horizon is sloping slightly - if you have Photoshop this can be easily rectified.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Like Karen, I can see why you wanted to take this!
I think what Fred is trying to point out is that perhaps next time you could either compose the shot with a point of interest in the fg or p'haps crop it off afterwards.
Just wondering if you have any processing software that you could use to 'finish' off any of your shots - - I'm sure there's some in school or college?
Lovely colours

Hi Steph!
The colours are beautiful great shot! I agree with everyone about the horizon line. But you don't need to buy expensive software I always use Picasa for straightening my pictures {even though I have got photoshop} which you can download free from google! It will organise all the pictures that you have on the computer and do other simple editing jobs too
Hope this helps

Reuters editor charged with hacking says he was firedBy GARANCE BURKE
Associated Press | April 23,2013SAN FRANCISCO A Reuters deputy social media editor accused of conspiring with hackers to deface a Los Angeles Times story said Monday he was fired.
His dismissal came the day before he was scheduled to appear in federal court for the first time on the felony charges. His attorneys say he plans to plead not guilty.
Federal prosecutors allege 26-year-old Matthew Keys provided the hacking group Anonymous with login information to access the computer system of The Tribune Co., the Times parent company.
According to a federal indictment handed down last month, a hacker identified only as Sharpie used information Keys supplied in an Internet chat room and altered a headline on a December 2010 Times story to reference another hacking group.
Tribune also owns a Sacramento television station Keys had been fired from months earlier.
Keys has said he did not commit the crimes hes accused of. He did not immediately respond to a telephone message seeking comment Monday, but he did post several online messages saying Reuters had not fired him as a result of the indictment.
Just got off the phone. Reuters has fired me, effective today. Our union will be filing a grievance. More soon, he posted.
He later tweeted a copy of a final written warning he said he received from Reuters in October, which admonished Keys for mocking a Google executive from a fake Twitter account he had created, saying the action demonstrated a serious lapse of judgment and professionalism that is unbecoming of a Reuters journalist.
His attorney Tor Ekeland said he would not comment on the firing because the Newspaper Guild was representing him on the matter.
The Guild did not immediately return a phone call seeking additional details.
Reuters hired Keys in 2012 and suspended him from his New York social media job on March 14. Thomson Reuters spokesman David Girardin declined to elaborate Monday on why Keys was no longer employed.
Keys is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in federal court in Sacramento. He is charged with one count each of conspiracy to transmit information to damage a protected computer, as well as transmitting and attempting to transmit that information.
If convicted and sentenced to the maximum for each count, the Secaucus, N.J., resident faces a combined 25 years prison and a $500,000 fine, prosecutors say. However, experts say first-time offenders with no criminal history typically spend much less time in prison than the maximum sentence.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON U.S. Full StoryGroup recognizes Full StoryNEW YORK Stocks ended the day mostly flat on Thursday, recovering from broad losses earlier in...

The 21st century way to wealth: Just plain old hard work
By Jeffrey Reeves MA
Editor's note: Jeffrey Reeves' introduction to "The Way to Wealth" provides an overview of this weekly blog series.
"...laziness travels so slowly, that poverty soon overtakes him."
Benjamin Franklin in the persona of Father Abraham
There's another type of person that tries to find the easy way to do everything. These folks want to delegate work and use other people's money to build wealth while they relax and await their fortune.
In colonial America, there were many treasure hunters looking for buried pirate treasures. They would wander the coastal regions with "divining rods" or "dowsing rods" hoping that the tug of hidden and easily acquired wealth would soon present itself.
Benjamin Franklin tells the story of one man who gave a piece of land to his son, who had been seeking buried treasure. He assured the lad that the piece of land would yield much gold and great wealth, but admonished him that the wealth would never be buried deeper that the depth of a plough blade.
21st century Americans look to behemoth financial corporations to sell them mutual funds, IRA's, 401(k)s and their equivalents as the buried treasure that will bring them wealth and well being. They are not a whole lot wiser than their ancestors who wandered the land with dowsing rods. Money you do not manage and control — and managing your money takes work — will not produce the treasures you would have for your clients or yourselves as you progress through your life.
Just as you will fail to create adequate income if you do not work hard at your job or profession, you will fail to create true wealth if you do not personally control your money.
Think about it. The secret is control.

Confidential research undertaken by the House of Commons Library
and shown to the
Sunday Telegraph suggests payments to wind power companies
through the
Renewables Obligation (RO) - a premium paid to renewable energy
generators to help them compete with established players in the
energy market - mean 50,000 more households are in fuel poverty
than would otherwise be.
Is it right? There's no way to tell. Despite being undertaken by
the House of Commons library and cited in a national newspaper, the
research is not in the public domain - a bit of a blow to
transparent politics.
Here's what the
Sunday Telegraph said at the end of an article on wind
subsidies published on Sunday:
"Subsidies paid to windpower companies
are forcing up to 50,000 households a year into fuel poverty,
according to analysis of government figures by the House of Commons
Increased electricity costs because of all subsidies paid to all
renewable sources of energy have pushed 100,000 families into fuel
poverty, defined as the need to spend more than 10 per cent of
household income to maintain a satisfactory heating
According to the Telegraph, "wind power payments" are estimated
to account for about half of all renewables subsidies.
Who commissioned the research?
According to two sources with knowledge of the research, the
analysis was prepared by researchers at the House of Commons
library for Chris Heaton-Harris, the Conservative MP for Daventry.
He has been campaigning against wind subsidies for several months -
earlier this year he organised a
letter signed by 100 other MPs calling for subsidies to onshore
wind farms to be "dramatically cut".
And last week, Heaton-Harris
asked energy and climate change minister Greg Barker if he'd
assessed the effect of the Department of Energy and Climate Change
(DECC)'s wind and renewables policies on fuel poverty. DECC
This may have prompted Heaton-Harris to turn to the House of
Commons Library, which can assist MPs with research. We tried to
speak with Mr Heaton-Harris to find out whether he commissioned the
research. But although he eventually responded noting that our
deadline had passed, he didn't confirm the work had been done for
him, or send us any details.
The House of Commons library produces "confidential answers to
enquiries on the full range of subjects of interest to Members of
Parliament and Commons Committees". It told us that it was entirely
up to the MP who commissioned the research as to whether they
wanted to release it.
Clearly in this case, someone released the research to the
Sunday Telegraph but no further - a somewhat depressing development
for the transparency of the energy debate. It makes the figure
difficult to understand - we don't know how it was calculated, and
we don't know whether the Sunday Telegraph referenced it
But even if we can't get the research itself, the Sunday
Telegraph says it was based on government figures. We've done an
accounting exercise to see how it was reached.
Wind subsidies
A DECC answer to a parliamentary question posed by Chris
Heaton-Harris suggests that the total amount added to an
electricity bill by payments to support renewables was £18.20 in
2010-2011 - £18 of that goes to the Renewables Obligation and 20p
feed-in tariffs.
Fuel poverty
According to the most recent DECC fuel poverty figures
4.75 million households in the UK were classed as being fuel poor
in 2010. Between 2009 and 2010 this number fell by 750,000,
5.5 million to 4.75 million.
How does one part of an energy bill push people into
fuel poverty?
The definition of fuel poverty used by the government is
(broadly) that a household which spends more than 10% of its income
on energy costs is fuel poor.
So, although we can't know for sure, we think the House of
Commons library analysis must have concluded that if the average
energy bill was £18.20 lower, 100,000 less households would be
spending more than 10% of their income on energy.
The 50,000 figure
The Telegraph then says that wind power accounts for around half
of RO payments - an estimate a recent report from the
Grantham Institue also makes - and concludes that 50,000
households in fuel poverty now wouldn't be if their energy bills
were £9 a year lower.
Well, if the missing calculations have been done correctly, this
may be right. But is it reasonable to say that this payment is
"forcing up to 50,000 households a year into fuel poverty" as the
Telegraph does? At the very least, this seems to be missing the
wider picture.
Renewables Obligation costs are not rising rapidly -
total costs to consumers from the RO have risen by £3 since
2009. But other factors are driving bills up rapidly. Most
notably, wholesale energy prices
have risen a lot, to the point where gas wholesale costs now
count for over
48 per cent of the average UK domestic energy bill, according
to Ofgem.
On the other hand, as we noted earlier, the number of households
in fuel poverty fell by 750,000 between 2009 and 2010. So it's
clear that there isn't a straightforward relationship between these
small margins on bills and fuel poverty levels, as the Telegraph's
use of these figures might suggest.
FInally, it's worth noting that (purely in terms of assessing
the calculation behind the 50,000 figure) £9 is a relatively small
amount compared to an average combined gas and electricity bill of
In this context it seems odd to us to confidently isolate one
component of an energy bill and blame it for a very precise number
of fuel poor households.It's not just odd to do this for wind
payments - it would be odd to do it for any small cost on an energy
bill. The best that you can say about it is that it doesn't give
the whole picture.
Essentially it seems that the Sunday Telegraph is talking up
wind subsidies ahead of a
government review of Renewables Obligation payments. Addressing
fuel poverty should be a priority, and for some people £9 will be a
lot, for others it won't. But it's clear that in a newspaper
article, "50,000 households a year in fuel poverty" sounds like a
much bigger deal than "£9 a year".

Hey guys! I haven't been on this awesome site for quite a while now - school commitments and yada yada... you know the drill...
Anyways, I decided to glance through here for a while, but I realised, to my hearts disappointment - that there was next to nothing of any mention of my new "stuck in my head" drummer - Matt Tong.
Oh the travesty!
When will it end? Not only is there no page for him on the site, he's not on the wishlist, OR the watchlist, nor is there a post devoted to him.
Sure he may not be as awesome as some of the greats out there, but I reckon he's worth a listen. He's the drummer for
Bloc Party
- and he adds this dimension to the music that makes it ecstatic. Normally I don't go for this kinda music, but this stuff's pretty good.
Only thing he's every done wrong is decided (with Bloc Party) to tour as a frontrunner with panic at the disco... Played his little heart out there as well - or should I say lung... hehehe
All the best
- Ashbash
PS: Plus he's asian. Wow. Finally a good asian drummer in the sortofish mainstream!

Betty Gail Wood-Rush
A small child sits in the corner
As the shadows of evening
Play across the room.
The small, round, tear-streaked face
And big eyes red with pain.
The quivering lips whispering
A barely audible "Jesus loves me".
A slight rocking as knees
Are hugged to the chest with frail, delicate arms.
The tale-tell signs of trust broken.
Thoughts play tag inside a child's brain
As one feeling brings up the memory
Of another time which triggers
Another painful feeling.
Please someone reach out.
Someone touch.
Someone help take away the pain.
Don't let that precious little person die.
Let the child experience happiness
And freedom.
Show the child that it is good
To be a child.

Preferred Alternate Selected -
Alternate '12A'
At the February 14, 2011 Commission meeting, the St. Augustine City Commission voted 4-1 to select alternate 12A as the preferred alternate to advance into the final master plan phase. Alternate 12A is a mixture of two alternates:
Alternate 12A provides the following concensus items identified at the January 24 commission meeting:
The HDG Team is now working on the final master plan and the Phase 1 grant application for the Commission's consideration at the March 28 and April 11 commission meetings.
More information on Alt. 12A provided here.
Two New Alternates Developed:
6 Alternates Available for Review
A variety of public meetings were held throughout January 2011 to review the alternate designs for the "Reconnecting the Castillo & the Bayfront" project. Stakeholder groups and City boards / committees were consulted. City meetings leading up to the commission meeting included:
Planning & Zoning Board, City of St. Augustine - Jan. 4: In a 6-0 vote, the PZB members approved alternates 7, 8, 9 and 10 as being in compliance with the City's comprehensive plan.
Parking & Traffic Committee, City of St. Augustine - Jan. 13: The committee reviewed the progress on the project, and the members noted that the City's adopted traffic and parking plan should continue to be implemented.
Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB), City of St. Augustine - Jan. 20: In a 4-0 vote, HARB gave the project an opinion of appropriateness for all four alternates. HARB recommended alternate 8.
At the January 24 City Commission meeting, alternates 7, 8, 9 and 10 were presented and reviewed by the commission. Using the feedback from this productive meeting, the HDG team has developed two additional alternates (#11 and #12) for the public to review and provide comment.
The HDG Team invites participants and stakeholders to review the alternate designs and to submit your feedback by survey, email, phone, or at the public meetings.
All six alternates (#7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12) are now posted online.
These will be discussed again at the February 14 City Commission meeting.

Previous Project Update:
Narrowing Down the Options:
4 Alternates Available for Review
Public participation and feedback continues to be a critical component to the "Reconnecting the Castillo & the Bayfront" project. To date, the Halback Design Group Team has received valuable feedback from hundreds of participants.
Based on the feedback from residents, visitors, business owners, stakeholders, the National Park Service, City staff, and other associated public agencies on the design issues (click on link for previous work) and alternates 1-6 (click on link for previous alternates), four alternates have been developed.
These four alternates (#7, 8, 9, and 10) are now posted online.
There are a series of stakeholder meetings and public presentations scheduled during January for discussion of these four alternatives. The full schedule is provided to the right. These will be presented to the City Commission at the January 24 Commission Meeting.

Previous Project Update:
Alternative / Conceptual Designs now available online!
On November 18 and 19, approximately 50 residents and stakeholders gathered to review the first round of conceptual designs for the "Reconnecting the Castillo & the Bayfront." Thanks to all who participated.
Initial design issues and alternative designs were presented, all of which are now available online through this project website. Each design issues and alternate has a survey portion that enables participants to give feedback directly to the design team.
It is important to note that there are no final designs, and the Halback Design Group team and the City of St. Augustine are looking for questions, comments, and/or concerns. These six alternatives will be further developed based on feedback from the community, the City of St. Augustine, the National Park Service, FDOT, and other important stakeholders.
Feedback will be open for a period of 2-3 weeks and will close in early to mid December 2010.

Previous Project Update:
A Unique "Transit in Parks" Project
Introduction to Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in Parks Grant
In late 2008, the City of St. Augustine learned of the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in Parks grant program, a federal transportation planning grant which is focused on better integrating national parks and surrounding communities with alternative modes of transportation.
The goals of the grant include reducing traffic and congestion, reducing pollution, improving visitor mobility, enhancing visitor experience, and making a positive impact on environmental and cultural treasures.
Many of these goals correlated well with previous efforts by the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument and the City of St. Augustine to address Avenida Menedez and South Castillo Drive. This four lane roadway acts as a barrier between downtown and the bayfront, and this project seeks to reconnect the Castillo with the City she was built to protect.
Uniqueness of the project
This project is truly unique and is unlike any previous Transit in Parks applicant. Given the historic nature of the fort and the urban context of its surrounding, St. Augustine and the Castillo stand apart from the bus purchasing project of Yellowstone, the horse carriage route of Grand Teton National Park, and the ferry planning project for Fort Pickens and the Gulf Island National Seashore.
Impact on the 450th
With the 450th Commemoration approaching in 2013-2015, this grant funding has the potential to provide capital funding for improvements to the bayfront and A1A, leaving improved connections between downtown and the Castillo / bayfront for the community's benefit long after the celebration.
Previous Project Update:
Resident & Visitor Survey Results
During August and September 2010, for a period of one month stretching the summer and fall, both residents and visitors were surveyed regarding their habits in visiting the Castillo de San Marcos and downtown. Over 400 surveys were returned. Results were made available on Board 10: Survey Results at the first public meeting on September 16 and on pages 22 and 23 in the Data Collection executive summary dated October 4.
Thank you to all residents and visitors who participated in the survey

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 6, 1999 A night of clear skies gave Operation Allied Force airmen the chance to hit many targets throughout Yugoslavia, NATO and U.S. spokesmen said April 5.
Officials said all NATO planes returned safely despite a "number" of Serb surface-to-air missiles fired at the NATO pilots.
President Clinton called on the NATO nations to stick together and maintain the attacks against the regime of Serb President Slobodan Milosevic. Yugoslav forces continue advancing in Kosovo from the north and west and, U.N. officials have estimated, are driving up to 350,000 ethnic Albanians refugees ahead of them.
In addition, Clinton announced the United States offered and NATO accepted 24 Army AH-64 Apache attack helicopters to aid in Operation Allied Force.
The Apaches, from two battalions of the 11th Aviation Brigade in Illesheim, Germany, should arrive in eight to 14 days, Pentagon spokesman Ken Bacon said. The Apaches will be accompanied by support helicopters; a Multiple Launch Rocket System artillery battalion; a support battalion; a mechanized infantry company with 14 Bradley fighting vehicles; a military police company; a signal company; and required military intelligence, aviation maintenance and other support elements.
This means about 2,000 U.S. soldiers will deploy to Albania, where the force will be based, Bacon said. He said the deployment stems from a request by U.S. Army Gen. Wesley K. Clark, NATO's top military officer and commander of Allied Force. He said Clark asked for a wider variety of weapons to attack armored ground targets and artillery in Kosovo.
"It's a logical expansion of the current air operation," Bacon said. "It gives us greater precision, all-weather capability, day or night, to go after the types of weapons that the Yugoslav army is using." He said NATO aerial photos show Yugoslavian forces "herding" villagers. The photos alone don't confirm Serb atrocities, but refugee accounts detail atrocities have occurred, he said.
Bacon said U.S. aircraft will start transporting 20,000 Kosovar refugees "probably" to the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Also, authorities of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia have asked for another 600,000 more humanitarian food ration packs; 500,000 are already en route.
NATO and U.S. officials said the weather April 4 was the best since the beginning of the bombing campaign. NATO aircraft hit more than two dozen targets.
"Clearly last night was a substantially larger level of effort," said Navy Capt. Steve Pietropauli, spokesman for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "The initial reports we've gotten from NATO with respect to the tactical aircraft, including the strikes in and around Kosovo and the rest of Yugoslavia this morning, was they had some very good results. Last night U.S. participation in the strike included the full range of systems - - B-1s, B-2s, F-117s, the tactical aviation, the F-15s, F-16s, all the tankers and support aircraft that were flying."
Despite the NATO strikes, the lightly armed, outnumbered and outgunned ethnic Albanian resistance in Kosovo is weakening but continues to resist, particularly in the west, Bacon said. "They don't really have the armaments they need to deal with a sustained armor attack, and that's what they're getting right now," he said.
Bacon said Milosevic may try to sue for peace should he succeed in driving all ethnic Albanians from Kosovo, but NATO won't be stopping just because he does. "Milosevic may think he's finished. We will not be finished," he said.
The only acceptable end-state said Bacon is for the killing to stop, the withdrawal of the Serb army and special security forces, the establishment of autonomous democratic self-rule, and the acceptance of a NATO-led international peacekeeping force. If those conditions are met, said Bacon, "then refugees will be able to return and rebuild their lives in Kosovo, and that's the goal."

Lasting back pain relief in just 3 to 6 minutes a day? If you're skeptical, you're in good company!
When I opened the box this Australian company sent me and read the claim accompanying their device, my first reaction was "Yeah, right!"
Here at The Healthy Back Institute we receive many products making big claims, but to be frank about it, the number of products that are GREAT enough for us to recommend are close to zero…
The Nubax, however, passed our rigorous reviews with flying colors!
Now I know how effective inversion can be for decompressing the spine and giving relief from back pain and sciatica as pressure is relieved. But there are a lot of people who are either scared to invert or can't for a medical reason, such as a hip or knee replacement.
That's why I was really interested to see how well the Nubax Trio worked for spinal decompression.
Here's my take on how easy the Nubax is to assemble, how easy it is to use, and most importantly, how well it decompresses the spine:

Boeing has completed certification flight testing on its 747-8 Intercontinental test fleet, the company confirms, setting the jumbo on a path to US Federal Aviation Administration approval later this quarter.
After flying from Barbados to Houston today, the aircraft marked the completion of its systems functionality and reliability (F&R) flight testing, the final phase of its evaluations. RC003, flying as BOE440, signifying the 1440th 747 built, is currently enroute to Paine Field. The aircraft was non-instrumented for the trials.
The airframer quietly announced in its 10Q US Securities and Exchange Commission last week that the first delivery of a VIP configured "green" 747-8I would slip to 2012, citing "a delay in flight testing and the time required to incorporate all flight test driven changes."
While flying for FAA certification credit is complete, the test fleet of three aircraft will continue post-certification testing and additional validation of the VIP and airline interiors.
Further, with the completion of
extended operations (ETOPS) and F&R trials, the 747-8I becomes the first four-engine passenger aircraft to complete ETOPS evaluations. ETOPS rules were updated in 2007 to include four-engine aircraft starting in 2015, though Boeing opted to include it in the Intercontinental's certification ahead of the requirement.
Boeing began the 747-8I's flight test campaign on March 20 with RC001's first flight from Paine Field.
Delivery to Lufthansa, whose RC021 served as test aircraft, will eventually become D-ABYE, is expected in the first quarter of 2012.

Item no.: 102349
We picked out three different Barigo weather stations. They each have the three classical instruments: a barometer to measure changes in the air pressure. They are set to sea level at the factory and can be set to the correct height for your location by means of an adjusting screw on the back plate. The hygrometer measures the relative humidity of the ambient air. The thermometer uses a maintenance-free bimetallic thermometer.
