like the rest of you and likely many more that we have not heard from. been a season ticket holder for the last four years. actually sat next to one of the starter's parents. we love our team . we love nola. but to watch what has happened since our near seven game victory over the Spurs. beyond sad. a 58 point record breaking loss at home. no playoffs this year with the number three top players in the NBA. that is hard to do. that requires an ownership that literally cares about nothing but money. winning means nothing to them. i can't support that. i am out.
no surprise at all last night... did you guys see the post on espn about BS when he was in LA for our previous whipping? that man has only one thing on his mind and that is coaching LA. he could give a rat's a-- about leading the Hornets anywhere.
two years ago we were one game away from the western conference finals. last year we got humiliated by the Nuggets in the first round. this year we are going to struggle to make the playoffs. you know how difficult that is when you have the number one point guard in the league who is also one of the top three players in the nba... only Scott could accomplish such lofty heights.
you can say good bye to this year. we are going nowhere. scott will be gone next year and we will have to start over. just pray we still have CP.
scaffidi = clueless. actually a shame we have Hornet's fans that are that blind. Scott will run this team into the ground. he started it last year and this year he will finish it. the man's only dream is to coach the Lakers. 58 point loss at home, people. with likely the future greatest point guard to ever suit up. anybody notice we are getting worse each year? with CP3. how do you possibly get worse with CP3...
i wonder if scaffidi is related to Hamilton????
read some where above that CP likes Byron Scott. where did you get that info? newspaper? internet? not true. not close to true. BS is tolerated by his team. he is the head coach. they have no choice. man is a wrecking machine. try to get some insight into what goes on during practice. nothing. that is why CP is always so frustrated. he has to run the offense each night. BS is a nightmare. dude has a history for a reason. dude KILLS young talent for a reason... self-centered, egotistical nightmare. Hornets are a team for one reason, ONE. Chris Paul is unique. going to be one of the greatest ever. only thing BS does is hurt him. the man's dream is to coach the Lakers. we are nothing but a small bump in his road.
we have done nothing this off season while the rest of the elite talent has improved. some significantly. the Spurs, they are going to kill us. Wow! do they want to win or what. Bower spends his time talking about all these late pick ups. the talent is gone. picked up by the West. we are looking at a very LONG season.
what was that you said? oh yeah, we have Armstrong, Daniels and Brown coming off the bench. what a JOKE. most of them wouldn't even be on other NBA teams.
CP is gone in two years. can't blame him.
Bower is killing our team. as the rest of the west continues to significantly improve, the Hornets sit by and do nothing. our competitors have made some great moves in the last couple of weeks... Artest to the Lakers, Ariza to Houston, the Spurs have made a couple great pick ups and are still in the news about trying to sign McDyess from Detroit, Orando got Vince, Celtics got Rasheed... Hornets, not a word! Nothing.
we are looking at a long year ahead of us. Bower so vastly over-paid Chandler and Peja that no one wants to take on their contracts. want to know something interesting?... do a search for the highest team payroll in the NBA. yeah, it's us. scary. very scary. we are just under a million more than the second place Lakers. that is bordering on ridiculous when you compare the talent between our two teams. Bower... hello, HELLO, do you have any clue at all????
you just have to feel bad for CP. one of the top three most talented players in the league and likely going to be the greatest point guard to ever play the game and he is surrounded by Bower and Scott. enjoy him while you can for the next two seasons. no way he is gonna stay with the kind of organization the Hornets are showing themselves to be.
would you?
another year of disappointment. Scott the ultimate nightmare... CP3 deserves better.
cal2rockies = frighteningly pathetic.
you available to coach the Hornets? seems like an even trade.
hey genius, you won. you are supposed to be celebrating. not wasting your time on a new orleans blog.
like, amazingly pathetic.
MajKong, man knows what he is talking about. the Nets REVOLTED against Scott. Refused to play for the a--hole. this is nothing new. we are in the same situation. been a season ticket holder for three years. sit next to parents of a player. BS is killing us...
Chandler = almost exactly similar to how a teenage girl would play basketball. 7'2'' and does nothing. that is hard to do, VERY hard to do. Chicago knows. that is
why the got rid of him. He is good at shitty fouls and getting a technical for defensive 3's. got to be good at something...
Bryon Scott = Nightmare
very easy answer to tonight's game... Byron Scott is a nightmare!
are you kidding me. to lose like that. the writing has been on the wall since last year, when Scott road the tail of the true MVP to the coach of the year. the man is a MORON.
you do not lose a game like that unless you have serious, SERIOUS issues in the locker room. the players have no respect for Scott. none. he is an arrogant, egotistical self-centered P.O.S.
where have your ever seen a team that starts players for 10-12 games and then you don't see them again? Armstrong, started 14 games. doesn't play anymore. Mo, starter last year. no longer plays. Juju, started 9 games and did really well. no longer plays.
IDIOT OF A COACH. BLAZING IDIOT. not just kind of an idiot. BLAZING, ON FIRE IDIOT.
we need to pray for something new. we have right now what is eventually going to be the greatest point guard to ever play the game. that is something to build on... not something to set an NBA record for a home playoff loss.
thank you, Bryon Scott. no one in New Orleans deserves you as the coach of our beloved CP3...
rumors are strong about how badly you want to coach the Lakers next year when the king retires. Please, PLEASE do us that favor. regardless of how high you think of yourself (which is obviously frighteningly high), WE, THE HORNETS FANS, DO NOT WANT YOU!!!
PLEASE LEAVE! CP deserves better. much better.
so painful to watch. been a season ticket holder for three years now. and to be completely honest with you, my wife and i don't even want to go to the game this saturday. why go watch your team essentially not give a d-mn. only CP and JuJU go out each and every game and give it everything they have got. D West is a joke. just give yourself three minutes of pretty much any game and watch his level of effort. embarrassing! daniels and brown try hard, but come on, they obviously have no clue how to run an offense. armstrong, not even worth mentioning. Peja, outside his three 3's in a row tonight, he has been essentially a complete wash this season. butler, excuse me, forgot about butler. the man is out there working on D. just been cold the second half of the year. Chandler, doesn't really matter because there is no way he will be a Hornet next season.
I will have only on wish this year for both my birthday and Christmas... please, oh PLEASE, get rid of the idiot that is our coach. the new jersey nets knew a couple years ago when the entire team revolted against Scott. the man is an egotistical controlling menace who thinks he deserves to win because of his nba past. the man has no clue. none.
thank you, CP, for blessing us with your talent. without you we would not even be in the neighborhood of the playoffs. and we would not be season ticket holders.
hey John, i am a bit confused.
no question the big boys need some rest. but give it to them during practice. you think there is no difference between the 8th seed and the rest? come on! the Lakers in the first round playoffs is a loss. no question. if we can get either the 7th or 6th seed, we can win a couple of series against teams we can definitely beat when we are full strength and take some confidence into a Lakers series in the western finals.
not sure exactly what you are talking about. do you really think resting CP and West is going to give them a chance against the Lakers if we end up 8th? we are currently getting dominated by everybody. even the Miami win was a fluke. the most important factor right now for our future in the playoffs is avoiding the 8th seed. it's the same for Dallas and Utah.
if you don't think so, not sure why you are writing for our Hornets.

i am soooo tired of watching a one-man team. not just in terms of scoring, but a one-man team in all aspects of the game. no one works harder out there then CP, both on offense and defense. D West is an embarrassment. sure the guy can score, when he is hot. he missed 13 shots in a row against miami. just kept shooting and Scott just kept him in there. we should have lost that game. lucky, crazy three pointer. no one else has done a things. D Brown is a joke. Daniels just doesn't have the talent to run an offense. JuJu has been totally run down by Scott. dude has the second most talent on the team and all Scott does is tell him how bad he is. Peja is old and nearing the end. Posey has been a major defensive disappointment. Chandler will never be totally healthy. Scott has no idea how to deal with what talent he has. He road CP's back last year to coach of the year and we are now seeing this year how poor of a coach he really is.
we are getting completely dominated by teams. from the beginning to the end. it's not just a game here and there. we are getting dominated by almost everybody.
barring some miracle with the questionable return of Chandler, we are going to be the lowly 8th seed with a likely sweep by the Lakers (maybe, just maybe 1-4). wonderful way to end the year.
Chris Paul deserves better. much better. I hope he is able to get away from Scott. he is destined to be one of the greatest ever. I am just thankful for the opportunity to be able to watch him while we have him.
don't know about y'all, but i am tired to watch everybody but CP show up. we are nothing more than a .500% team or less without CP. i am a season ticket holder and they are not cheap seats. my wife and i LOVE to watch CP. probably the same for the other 95% of season ticket holders out there. but, i do not believe we are going to renew this year. we are definitely a worse team than last year. pargo is a MAJOR loss. daniels and brown are worthless. we essentially have no competent back up for CP. when he leaves to rest, we always fall back, always. barring some miracle, we are going to continue to fall and likely face either LA or SA in the playoffs. bye, bye. then it is pretty much guaranteed shin is going to dump some salary this summer making us even less talented then we currently are. my wife and i love nothing more than to support new orleans and their teams. but to have to suffer through games like tonight, it's just not worth it. and odds are, things are only going to get worse next year. Thank you, CP, for blessing us by being a Hornet.
Iverson = plague. The man is a virus. Couldn't be more properly displayed then the Pistons scenario. 504ever must be a Spurs fan.
Sounds good to me. Personally I would rather see Peja come of the bench. Unless he is having one of his hot-hand nights (few and far between this year), JuJu provides much more defense and athletically is heads and shoulders above Peja.
you nailed it. byron scott does it again. a loss 100% on his poor coaching shoulders. the most important quarter of the game against one of the best teams in the game and he sits CP until we are down by ten. you do not comeback against a championship team in the fourth quarter when down by ten. no chance. i remember at least 7-8 games last year when he did the same thing. we are doomed with BS. he has no vision. he road CP's tail last year to coach of the year award. he has taken an amazing talent in Juju and reduced his confidence to close to zero. i didn't like him last year and i like him even less this year. so painful to watch.
by the way, byron, i can tell you that despite that fact the bowen works hard out there, he shouldn't be getting more time than last year's near 6th man of the year and reigning nba champion. you truly scare me as a head coach.
thank you, coach scott, for a loss completely and totally based on your fourth qaurter decisions. that is difficult to do. and more and more Hornet"s fan each week are beginning to realize how poor of a leader you truly are.

Dr. Richard Yeadon Wescoat, 89, died peacefully at home in Marietta, Georgia, on December 19, 2012 after a short illness.
Richard was born May 23, 1923 in Summerville, South Carolina, the son of Harriet and Julius Wescoat. He was also the grandson of Captain Julius J. Wescoat, an officer in the Confederate Army of the Southern States. At the age of 10, his mother died and he moved to Sumter, South Carolina to live with his older sister Harriet and her husband, Butch Cuttino. Richard graduated from Edmonds High School in 1940 and attended Clemson University and the Medical College of South Carolina where he graduated in 1947.
He began his medical practice as a General Practitioner in Lancaster, South Carolina in 1950. His practice was interrupted for two years when he entered the Army as a Captain in the Medical Corps and served in Korea and served as a MASH physician. During his service, he was awarded the Bronze Star with a V for Valor.
After serving in Korea, he returned to his medical practice in Lancaster in 1953, which was the height of the baby boom, and he delivered more than 5,000 babies in Lancaster County along with his general practice. Richard was the first General Practitioner in Lancaster to pass his Family Practice Medical Boards and was a charter member of the American Academy of Family Physicians. His practice spanned more than fifty years.
Dr. Wescoat was also active in community service where he served as a member and as past president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce in Lancaster.. He was recognized by the state chapter of the Jaycees as Man of the Year for his community involvement, and was appointed to serve on the South Carolina Board of Education under Governor Richard Riley. He was very active in Christ Episcopal Church, Lancaster, serving in many capacities through the years including member in the choir, lay reader and Senior Warden. Upon retirement from private practice, Richard and his wife Lucy moved to a retirement community in Columbia, South Carolina. Continuing his community service, he was elected as president of the Resident Counsel and served for 2 years. While living in Columbia, Richard was an active member at St. Davids Episcopal Church.
He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Lucy Gaddy Wescoat, two daughters Lu Wescoat Hill and her husband Steven of Marietta, Georgia and Harriet Jenette Williamson and her husband Jimmy of Goose Creek, South Carolina, four grandchildren, Jami Harrison Williamson of Morrisville, North Carolina, Jenifer Yeadon Williamson of Atlanta, Georgia, Stephanie Jenette Hill of Bluffton, South Carolina, and Richard Wescoat Hill of Marietta, Georgia, and two great grandchildren, Kaleb James Ridings and Jastin Kent Ridings.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, December 21, 2012 at St. Pauls Episcopal Church in Summerville, South Carolina. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Christ Episcopal Church, Lancaster, South Carolina, St. Pauls Episcopal Church, Summerville, South Carolina; or to the Foundation Fighting Blindness.

Rebecca Pappas has been making work under the name Pappas and Dancers since 2002. She imagines the process of choreography as one of "world creation," and sees each dance as a singular universe with its own language and logic. She and her performers have presented work throughout the west coast at venues including ODC Theater, REDCAT, Artists Repertory Theater in Portland and the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco. They have also performed Monster, their 2009 work probing the disfiguring legacy of the Holocaust, in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Estonia, and Singapore. Monster is reflective of Pappas' ongoing interest in the body as a personal and social archive. In addition to choreographing her own work, Rebecca has performed for artists including Barak Marshall, Victoria Marks, Alma Esperanza Cunningham, Rachael Lincoln, and Erica Shuch. Pappas and Dancers has received choreographic residencies at Yaddo, Dragon's Egg, Djerassi, UCLA's Hothouse and funding from CHIME, the Clorox Company Foundation, the Zellerbach Family Foundation, and the UCLA/Mellon Initiative for Research on the Holocaust in American and World Culture.

ERWIN — Representatives from Kimley-HornandAssociates, the planning firm working with the town of Erwin to complete a downtown revitalization master plan, were once again in town Friday to kick off the design guidelines element of the master plan.
Greg Tidwell, with Smith Gee Studio, which is working with Kimley-Horn on the plan as a subconsulting firm, said setting design guidelines for new buildings or additions to existing buildings would help set fair and even expectations for new developments, set minimum standards for structures, promote a development pattern and enhance the character of a particular area over time.
"Most often when you talk about design guidelines, it's a very small, defined area," Tidwell said. "Usually they'll be placed over what we call the overlay district."
In this case, the planners are specifically focused on the downtown business district and the immediate surrounding areas.
Those in attendance at the public meeting held at Erwin Town Hall were provided with a packet of photographs of buildings and features from other cities and were asked to rank their "appropriateness," or if they would fit in downtown. Features included lighting, awnings, signage and external utilities.
Information obtained from these surveys will assist planners in drafting design guidelines, Tidwell said.
"The design guidelines survey serves to identify the community preferences for architecture elements we're going to discuss," he said.
The results of this survey will be presented by the planners when they return for another public meeting in October, at which time they hope to present a preliminary plan for completion of the downtown revitalization master plan.
David Coode, with Kimley-Horn, said planners are also aiming to have a preliminary report, which would outline short-, middle- and long-term goals of the master plan complete by early 2012. This report also will include the probable costs associated with elements of downtown revitalization, Coode said.
The recommended design guidelines are to be incorporated into the master plan, Tidwell said. The planners said they intend to unveil the final report on downtown revitalization in mid-February.
Planners have previously met with Erwin officials and downtown businesses owners to discuss possible improvements that could be made to the area. They also held a public meeting in late July to gather resident input on potential improvements.
Items pointed out by Coode as elements for potential improvements include parking, signage, sidewalks and utilities. He said guiding principles in development of the master plan include establishing a pedestrian-friendly environment, facilitating private investment to bring new entrepreneurship in the downtown area, incorporating public space and public art into the district and ensuring involvement.
"All this is based on your ideas and concepts," Coode said to those in attendance. "It has to be something that you feel is appropriate for Erwin since your living here on a day-to-day basis."
The town has budgeted $150,000 and is using a $10,000 grant from the Tennessee Valley Authority for the plan's development.

I both order out and eat at Miyako very often. The people are friendly and polite, the delivery service is fast and they have the best japanese food I've ever had in the city. Two thumbs up!
Posted by nataliee on 11/06/2009
I do eat sushi very often (all over the world). compare to those experiences I have to say Miyako is a quite good. I go there very often, because the quality of food is great and the prices are the best on the uws if it comes to real japanese food. the bento box for dinner is a great deal and offers a variety of diffrent tastes- ideal if you cannot make up your mind:) the lunch-deals are great as well. If you are in the neighborhood- give it a try. I really love it
Posted by Anna Pack on 07/13/2009
They have a wonderfully priced lunch special! Great sushi and at wonderful price! 5 Stars!
Posted by Dougger on 06/16/2009
My girlfriend and I love saki bombing, so when we found a place that had $2 Kirin lights and buy one hot Saki, get one for free, we had to try it. We did not expect the food to be that great as the place is small and inexpensive. However, we were pleasantly surprised. My girlfriend can eat sushi 7 days a week and we both agreed the rolls were delicious. We have been back several times and have never been disappointed. It is a must try!
Posted by Jenna Komarin on 05/17/2009
This was one of the worst food deliveries I've ever had. I live two blocks away and it took nearly an hour for the food to arrive. The food was bland and uninspired. I would not ever order from here again.
Posted by MiyakoLover on 06/10/2008
Miyako is simply the best sushi place in UWS. I dont even write these reviews but i this place truly deserves a 4.5 out of 5, and couldn't help but write one. I really love the lunch special they have here. 3 rolls for $9!! My favorite is the EEL AVOCADO roll, which in my view is the BEST I have ever had. It just melts in my mouth and I feel like I am in heaven every time I have it. I also love the crunchy spicy tuna and the shrimp tempura rolls. Me and my girlfriend have been avid sushi fans for years and lately, we can't stop coming to this place. Everyone reading this should at least try it.
Posted by Anonymous on 05/18/2008
I used to order from Miyako 3-4 times each week. But that was 3.5 years ago. In 2006, I started to notice that the sushi didn't taste as fresh and the rolls were slightly smaller/skimpier than before. Then one day I dined in with some other once before loyal Miyako customers and we were just so disappointed with the quality of the fish that we all stopped ordering from them. It was SAD. This year, three friends of mine moved into the neighborhood and started ordering from Miyako and they gave rave reviews. So I thought maybe Miyako has come back! Or it was just that these friends never really had good sushi before (all three tend to order california roll varieties). But I was willing to give Miyako another try so I ordered the Sake Don and some yellowtail sashimi. Boy was I disappointed again. The fish did not even look fresh. The salmon was covered in a slime and the yellowtail was dull in color and tasted strange. I couldn't finish my meal.

TARRYTOWN, N.Y. – Here's a peak at what the new Tappan Zee Bridge could look like.
State officials released details of three proposals Wednesday afternoon, detailing costs and designs for the new Hudson River crossing. Construction could begin after the new year.
"To get a bridge to this point in a year was really just fantastic," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday during his cabinet meeting.
The New York State Thruway Authority will vote on the proposed designs at a Dec. 17 ...

The Heritage Alliance of Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia is inviting the community to join them in a "Throwback Thursday Then and Now Photo Exchange" to showcase people and places in Jonesborough and around the region 20 or more years ago and as they currently appear.
All photos submitted for the exchange will be displayed in an upcoming exhibit at The Chester Inn Museum. Select submissions will be posted on the alliance's Facebook page every Thursday through the end of August.
Anne G'Fellers-Mason, special projects coordinator for the alliance, and Skye McFarland, docent for the museum, are heading up the project with a two-fold purpose.
"We were trying to think of a way to showcase the great photos we have in our archive that are meant to be shared and to use new technology and social media" to involve the community in telling the region's history in photographs, G'Fellers-Mason said. "We really want the community to be involved in this. It's a way to honor your family and your history" in pictures.
"We know there are a lot of great photographers in the area and this is their chance to show off their skill. And the weather is getting really pretty so why not get out there and take some pictures," she said.
The photo exchange kicked off May 1 and will run through Aug. 28 with a new Throwback Thursday photo featured weekly at the alliance's Facebook page.
The aim is to superimpose the old against the new by photographing old and historical photos from around the region against the backdrop of the locations where the old photos were taken as they appear now.
Featured "throwbacks" so far include a couple of photographs of a circa 1950 snapshot of downtown "Jonesboro" held against a backdrop of the same section of Main Street as it currently appears. For those photographs, G'Fellers-Mason said a copy of the 1950 photo was cut in half and the two opposing halves held up against today's Main Street to create "then and now" contrasts of both sides of the street.
Last week's Throwback Thursday Facebook photo featured an 1889 photograph of a man riding a horse past a saloon on an unpaved section of Cherokee Street that had been held beneath the top half of the same building that today operates as Crafty Peddler and is best known for its Mail Pouch mural.
"We're in Jonesborough and we have a lot of old pictures of Jonesborough but this is open to photographs from all over the region," G'Fellers-Mason said. "As word gets out we're hoping we'll get a lot more. All the photos will be displayed at The Chester Inn in September."
Examples, how-to instructions and submission guidelines are available at www.heritageall.org. Photographs may be submitted by email to email@example.com, posted to the alliance's Facebook wall or shared on an Instagram account with the hashtag #heritagetbt.

One-term State Rep. Tara Rios Ybarra, D-South Padre Island, is the fourth south Texas dentist indicted in a federal case alleging Medicaid fraud and a referral kickback scheme.
Rios Ybarra, of South Padre Island, made her initial court appearance Wednesday in Brownsville where a judge set bond at $100,000.
Prosecutors say Dr. Gary Schwarz of McAllen billed Medicaid for services that were either not performed or were performed by unlicensed employees.
Schwarz also allegedly paid a 15 percent kickback to Mission dentists Willis Egger and Reynaldo Casares for referrals.
The indictment says Rios Ybarra also received kickbacks for referring patients to Schwarz.
A man who answered the phone Wednesday in her district office declined comment and said Rios Ybarra likely would not comment.
According to her House biography, she's a graduate of the University of Texas Health Science Center and has practiced dentistry since 1997 in Cameron County, where she owns a practice.3
She was elected to the Texas House in 2008, but lost the seat in the March Democratic primary.

The Miami dermatologist says her patients have
heard that those most at risk have pale skin, blond hair, blue eyes and
freckles. "I am not blond, I don't have blue eyes and I don't have
freckles," she says. "So I think you are not talking about me." And it's
true that the risk for skin cancer is lower the darker your skin is
meaning most Hispanics and blacks in the USA are at lower risk than most

Men's Tennis Readies for Three Matches this Weekend
March 6, 2014
RALEIGH, N.C. - The No. 19 NC State men's tennis team is set to return to action following a 12-day break, as the squad prepares to host three matches this weekend. The Wolfpack will host Appalachian State (12 p.m.) and Winthrop (5 p.m.) on Friday, March 7 before opening ACC play against No. 10 Duke (3 p.m.) on Sunday, March 9.
Earlier this week, State was listed No. 19 in the nation by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA). The ranking ties the highest ranking in the program's history, as the 2007 squad that advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championships was also listed 19th.
State will open Friday by welcoming Appalachian State into the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center for a match set to begin at noon. The Mountaineers bring a 4-2 ledger on the season to Raleigh. This match will mark the 16th all-time meeting between the two schools, as State owns the series lead, 14-1.
The Pack's second match of the day on Friday against No. 74 Winthrop is set for a 5 p.m. first serve. The Eagles are 6-5 on the season entering play this weekend. Friday's match will be the second all-time meeting between the two programs, as the Wolfpack won the first contest.
The Pack will open the conference portion of its schedule on Sunday, March 9 against No. 10 Duke. The Blue Devils boast four ranked singles players, including Michael Redlicki (No. 37), Jason Tahir (No. 40), Fred Saba (No. 58) and Bruno Semenzato (No. 94). In addition, Redlicki and Tahir come in as the No. 33 ranked doubles pair in the country.
Sunday's match will also be Wolfpack Fan Appreciation Day where fans have the opportunity to win t-shirts throughout the match. Posters and schedule cards will also be available for fans in attendance.
Fans attending the matches throughout the weekend are urged to park in the West Deck, which can be accessed off of Varsity Drive.

This story was updated at 3 p.m., March 17, 2014.
It's an annual rite of spring when baseball players take to the diamond for spring training.
Well, Mother Nature apparently is not a fan of spring sports.
Due to the harsh, wet winter, the county's athletic fields including local parks, elementary and middle schools are closed to teams who would ordinarily start their spring play.
The restriction will be reassessed daily but is in place to prevent surface damage, according to the county. The decision affects all the county's fields. As of Monday, in light of the recent snow, all fields are still closed.
There are 248 athletic fields in Montgomery Parks and 210 elementary and middle school sites with fields, according to Melissa Chotiner, media relations manager for Montgomery Parks.
Most of these local park fields were given permits to begin practices for the spring season for sports such as baseball, softball, soccer, and lacrosse.
"Most fields are too wet to accept play without doing damage to them, which may cause further delays to them being open long term. Some are in worse condition than others due to specific site conditions, soil types, and their ability to drain or percolate the vast quantity of water currently trapped in the soil," Chotiner said in an email to The Gazette Friday.
Parks staff members will visit fields individually to make an assessment of their playability related to how much moisture is still trapped in the upper layers of soil and whether significant damage was done during this time by unpermitted and unauthorized use of the fields.
Permit holders will have their permit revoked and lose privileges and be assessed fees if caught violating the rules on the permit. Individuals and groups who have not permitted the fields and are caught using fields when they are closed will be cited a violation fee. Park civil citations are $50 for a first offense, and $100 for subsequent violations. However, if there are damages done to the field, Montgomery Parks will charge an additional fee to repair the field.
Montgomery Parks Ballfield Coordinator Brent Conner said there are several types of damage that will occur when fields are played on when they are saturated, including grass being shorn off and ripped free of the soil. This leads to bare spots, especially in the goal mouths of soccer and lacrosse fields where play is most intense. The other damage, which isn't so visible, is soil compaction. Turf does not grow well in compacted soil; however, many weeds do, Conner said. Also, compacted soil does not drain well and leads to standing water on fields.
Dick Clark, president of the Rockville Baseball Association, said he has 50 Little League teams waiting to start playing ball.
"It's soaked out there but there is nothing we can do," he said.
To check the status of local fields, contact the Maryland-National Park and Planning Commission / Community Use of Public Facilities inclement weather line at 301-765-8787 or register for Montgomery Parks ALERT notifications at www.montgomeryparks.org/media/alerts.shtm to determine if your field is open for play beginning March 17. Updates regarding field status will also be available at MontgomeryParks.org.
What is open is Little Seneca Lake in Black Hill Regional Park and Lake Needwood in Rock Creek Regional Park which welcomed boaters and fishermen to another season on the lakes.

Hyco Lake land added to conservancy
The Piedmont Land Conservancy has placed 342 acres on Hyco Lake in Caswell County near Semora under permanent protection, the group has announced.
The land was a portion of a farm owned by Thomas and Kim Berry and John and Carolyn Fuquay, who said they had been approached by developers interested in building a gated residential community on the property.
The owners didn't want to see such development happen, according to Tom Berry.
"It's a beautiful piece of property, and we want to keep it just the way it is for generations to come," Berry said.
The Ecosystem Enhancement Program, which is a partnership between the state and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, purchased a conservation easement on 167 acres buffering three streams flowing into the lake, and the owners donated conservation easements on the remainder of the property.
Protecting the property helps assure high water quality and improves the habitat for wildlife, the Piedmont Land Conservancy said.

By Rudi WilliamsAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 19, 2004 When tragedy struck Ruth Ann Young of Kirkland, Wash., during the summer of 2003, she turned her bad luck into good luck for more than 6,000 service members on the battlefields of Iraq.
It was Father's Day 2003 June 15 -- when fire ravaged a business next door to Young's "Spirit of Christmas" store and caused substantial smoke damage to her little shop. Young owns and operates a year-round shop devoted to selling Christmas items. Smoke damage to her merchandise was so bad that she wasn't able to open her shop for the rest of that year.
Though she was deeply saddened, she wanted to do something positive in the community in which she and her husband, Robert Young, had lived for eight years, Young said during the Armed Services YMCA's recent 17th Annual Recognition Luncheon on Capitol Hill. Her idea won the 2004 Raytheon Program Achievement Award in the Best Use of Volunteers category at the Junction City (Kan.) Family YMCA.
"I wanted to touch the hearts of my service people overseas, and that's what I chose to do," said Young, who was in Washington with her husband and representatives from the Junction City YMCA and Fort Riley, Kan., to accept the award. "So I hung a banner and told everyone we were doing 'Operation Iraq: Spirit of Christmas' and we were going to send packages overseas to all of our military troops for Christmas."
Telling everybody she wanted to send at least 1,000 Christmas boxes to soldiers in Iraq, Young said she secretly set her goal at 5,000 boxes. And to her delight, she got a lot more.
Young and her supporters in Kirkland created a Web site and advertised their goals any way they could. Then the stuff started coming in: reading material, compact discs, lip balm, beef jerky, peanuts, trail mix, eye drops and a host of other things.
"And," she asked with a laugh, "would you believe 30,000 bags of apple chips?"
More than $200,000 in merchandise was donated, and nearly 21,000 volunteer hours were logged in support of the project.
Young's only request was that the boxes go to the service members on the front lines. She wanted commanders to ensure that everyone who didn't get anything for Christmas received a gift.
"It was the spirit of Kirkland, Wash., that stood up to the plate and touched the hearts of our military," Young said.
After getting thousands of boxes of gifts for the troops ready, "How do I get them there?" was the daunting question Young asked herself.
"Them" was more than 6,000 boxes weighing more than 6 pounds each two 18- wheeler trailers full of goodies for service members on the battlefields of Iraq. "There" was more than 1,800 miles from Kirkland to the Junction City Family YMCA that serves Fort Riley.
Diane E. Hardy, the Junction City YMCA's chair of the board of directors, who attended the Capitol Hill ceremony, explained how the huge number of boxes made the long trip. "This was a spiritual journey for the hundreds of people who were involved in this. God had a big place in this. It took on a life of its own," said Hardy, wife of Army Maj. Gen. Dennis E. Hardy, commander of Fort Riley.
Hardy said that after being unable to find someone in or around Kirkland to transport the boxes, "Ruth Ann contacted Ted Hayden, who is our local YMCA director in Junction City, Kan. The Armed Services YMCA comes under the YMCA in Junction City. He found a local gentleman named John Trygg, who owns a construction/trucking/street-paving company (Konza Construction) in Junction City. He provided trucks to go to Kirkland to transport the items.
"Ruth Ann tried closer to home, but she wasn't successful in finding someone who wanted to run with her idea," Hardy noted. "So she started searching and just happened to come to Fort Riley. We said, 'Yeah!'"
Reportedly, soldiers and several generals unloaded the big rigs in just an hour and 20 minutes. They then loaded the boxes onto pallets, wrapped them and put them on an Air Force cargo plane headed for Iraq.
"We managed to have coordination with the Air Force to get the items flown to Iraq, and the service members were the beneficiaries," Hardy said.

As Ushahidi adoption has grown, so has the problem of discoverability of Crowdmaps. In the guidelines for crowdsourcing, emphasis is made on multipronged strategy of not just setting up the Crowdmap, but also finding ways to let the intended audience know about the goals of your Crowdmap and how to report. This is because the base platform provides several channels of participation which can be set by the administrator as they see fit, and as it fits the technological landscape. For example, if your intended audience is in areas of low connectivity, setting up the SMS channel becomes important. The following options are baked into the core platform and Crowdmap.
- Clickatell - an SMS Gateway
- FrontlineSMS – A simple way to turn your mobile and laptop into a communication hub
- SMSSync (An application that will turn your Android phone into an SMS hub.
In addition to the options above, there is the standard email, twitter or reporting form as channels of participation. A mix of these channels can be made in consideration of the context, duration, and scope of the Crowdmap. With this in mind and the fact that we have varying levels of connectivity around the world. One of the ways the organization is working to help deployers and users of the different Crowdmaps to know what is available to contribute to is by:
1. Adding deployment search functionality to the mobile applications. This has been incorporated into the Ushahidi iPhone/iPad and Android applications.
Using your smartphone, you can search for Crowdmaps based on your location by specifying the radius you are interested in. For more on that either click on the graphic below or read more in the recent blogpost from Henry Addo regarding the new Android application.
2. Adding deployment search on Crowdmap.com. You can search by any Keyword, e.g elections, uganda, Amnesty International – Give it a spin and see which Crowdmaps are available for you to contribute to.
3. Our community site has a listing of deployments and is the congregating point for sharing information, plugins/add ons with the rest of the global Ushahidi community. You can add your deployment onto the listing on the site. These two systems are currently separate but we plan on integrating them soon.
The decision to be listed on this public listing remains that of the deployer. For instructions on how to change your settings so that your deployment is more discoverable, please see this brief video made by Brian Herbert.
We welcome your feedback regarding these steps in helping our users and deployers deal with discoverability. There will be more enhancements in future. As always let us know how we can make things better.

Rapper arrested for allegedly pushing a woman out of a moving vehicle
Gucci Mane, has been in trouble with the law before; in fact, he was visiting his probation officer when he was arrested and charged for misdemeanor and battery. It took a while for law enforcement to get Gucci–the incident occurred on January 28th.
Apparently Mr. Gucci Mane decided to get himself some action on the morning of January 28th. He picked up the victim (with a breakfast invitation), at the South DeKalb Mall, with his white Hummer. Once the lady was in the vehicle, Gucci allegedly (sorry, but I have to keep saying 'allegedly') had a different type of breakfast in mind–he offered the woman $150 to "go to the hotel". When she refused, she was swiftly kicked out of the car (while it was still moving).
According to the report, the victim "had redness on her left side/back area." Although she had never met the "Lemonade" rapper before, she stated that she was familiar with his music and "recognized an 'ice cream cone' tattoo on the suspect's face." (MTV)
Gucci probably just didn't offer her enough; after all, $150 isn't much nowadays. But it's obvious that Mr. Mane is having some financial difficulty, since he was forced to kick her out of the car while still moving. Everyone knows that stopping and starting with a Hummer will drain the fuel supply much more quickly than moving along at a leisurely pace. But hopefully this will be a lesson to Gucci, and he won't try to be frugal next time it comes to paying for companionship.

Saturday, July 28, 2001 - 5:30 p.m.
(Interview for CNN with Robert Novak and Al Hunt.)
Novak: I'm Robert Novak. Al Hunt and I will question the No. 2 man in the Pentagon.
Hunt: He is Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz.
(Begin videotape)
(Voice on videotape): The Bush administration budget is giving the new team at the Pentagon far less than it wants, but much more than the Senate's Democratic leadership thinks is necessary.
Rumsfeld: It's the largest increase since 1986 in the heyday of the Reagan administration; it's the largest increase of any department percentage-wise and in absolute figures by a mile, and it is an enormous amount of taxpayers' money.
Is it enough to correct all of the shortages that existed because of year after year after year underfunding of the department? No, it's not.
Hunt: This week President Bush visited U.S. troops in Kosovo and announced that there would be no unilateral American withdrawal from the Balkans, as he promised during his presidential campaign.
President Bush: American and allied forces came into Bosnia and Kosovo. We came in together, and we will leave together. Our goal is to hasten the day when peace is self-sustaining.
(End videotape)
Hunt: This is Paul Wolfowitz's third tour at the Pentagon. He was a 34-year-old assistant secretary during the Carter years and under secretary of policy during the first Bush administration. His government posts during the Reagan administration were head of State Department policy planning, assistant secretary of state for Asia and ambassador to Indonesia. He was out of government during the Clinton administration, serving as dean of the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University.
Hunt: Mr. Wolfowitz, for all the ambitious talk about beefing up the defense budget during the campaign, the White House pared back your initial request. Once you get beyond increased R&D spending and actually start buying stuff, getting to anti-missile defense, aren't those problems going to be just exacerbated?
Wolfowitz: We're going in, as the secretary said in the segment you ran, for what is the largest real increase in defense expenditure in 15 years. It's a substantial amount of money. We've looked very carefully at how to balance among different priorities. I would say the top priority in the increases we've added is to deal with readiness training, infrastructure problems and to boost up military pay, in other words, to take care of our people.
Beyond that, we are starting investment in what we call transformational technologies, but I would say the most important of those technologies is the ability to defend against ballistic missiles. The ballistic missile is the only capability our enemies have today that we don't have a counter to. It is the only capability rocket-head in the Gulf War that we underestimated. We've got to get moving and dealing with that.
Hunt: You've studied that and you've advocated this for years. You've been in now for six months. Your critics say that eventually that's going to cost well over $100 billion, is that right? Is that what the cost will be over the next 10 years?
Wolfowitz: I don't know where they get their --
Hunt: You can certainly give us a ball park figure.
Wolfowitz: No you can't. The problem is we're in a development phase. We're trying to figure out what works and what doesn't work. We've developed -- finally 12 years after the Gulf War, which is a long time considering how long it took us to get to the moon -- 12 years after the Gulf War we have finally developed a means of shooting down those primitive Scud missiles that killed 24 Americans in Dhahran that almost dragged Israel into the war.
We're now developing means to intercept the faster missiles that would come in at intercontinental ranges. Until we know what works and what doesn't work, I can't give you cost estimates.
Hunt: But isn't your big problem there, and in the defense budget in general, that with the tax cut that was enacted, there's not going to be the resources that you had hoped for the sorts of increases in defense spending?
Wolfowitz: Look, I think if we can get our $18.4 billion from the Congress, and I hope we will, but it's going to be a battle -- as I said, that's the biggest increase in 15 years. Could we use more? Of course, we could use more. But these notions of the missile defense is going to cost hundreds of billions of dollars are figments of people's imagination.
As long as we were constrained by the ABM Treaty, we were limited from doing those things which would allow us to do missile defense most efficiently. By asking Secretary Rumsfeld to design a program that would develop those things that are not permitted by the AMB Treaty, I think we'll find cheaper ways to do the same job.
Novak: Mr. Secretary, there's been many reports about the uniformed military objecting to the changes that you and Secretary Rumsfeld want at the Pentagon; they want more of the old kind of spending. Have you been able to convince the uniformed military that you're right? Or do you just have to get a new bunch of generals and admirals in place before you can have a unified Pentagon?
Wolfowitz: Well, we're in the midst of really examining basic strategy and long-term force structure. What the words QDR, which probably don't mean anything to anyone outside the beltway, the quadrennial defense review, which is this four-year plan that was mandated by Congress, so we're engaged in some pretty fierce debates and arguments about where we ought to go. But one thing that just impresses me about the military is when a decision is made by the commander in chief or by the secretary of Defense, they salute and they carry it out. Up until that point, we want the debate, we want to know the argument.
I do agree that there is a tendency to think about tomorrow's problem, about the possible war in Korea tomorrow or the possible war in Iraq tomorrow and that's a medium you've got to worry about. We're trying to get them to also think about the war that might happen 10 or 15 years from now, which may be an unknown enemy, may be unknown technologies and try to correct that balance.
Novak: There was a report on page one -- in fact, it was the lead story in The Washington Post the other day -- by Thomas Ricks saying that you had a decision of a real change in the basic kind of defense we're going to have; less war-fighting capability around the world. Is that an accurate story?
Wolfowitz: I'm not going to get into press critique, but I read a lot of things in the press that don't have much relation to the meetings I was in. We're wrestling with trying to get -- let me put it this way, we have three requirements. We have today's requirements which are things like Kosovo and, by the way, the president never said we were going to withdraw unilaterally. He's always been careful on that score, and you can't withdraw unilaterally. There's a whole group of things out there today...
Novak: We'll talk about that later.
Wolfowitz: OK. There's tomorrow's requirements that I'd like to call on, which are the wars that might happen tomorrow in Korea and Iraq, and there's the day after tomorrow, which is the hardest thing to think about, which is 10 years, 15 years from now, and we're trying to get all those things in balance. But I would say what we're focused on is, don't exaggerate tomorrow's requirements; that is, in order to justify the force structure you think you generally need to have don't exaggerate what Iraq can do. We know what Iraq can do. We fought that war. We know their weaknesses, we know our strengths.
Let's look at some of our weaknesses, one of which is our complete inability to defend against ballistic missiles. Let's look 10 years down the road when some enemy is going after our vulnerabilities, our Achilles heel, and let's defend against those things.
Hunt: Well, Mr. Secretary, is what you're really saying is that the United States does not face any serious conventional threat in the near-term?
Wolfowitz: No, no. Let me be very clear. We face enormous conventional threats from North Korea. If a war started --
Hunt: Any place else?
Wolfowitz: Well, I would also say in the Arabian Peninsula. Iraq is still a potent force. If the United States weren't there, Saddam Hussein could be in Riyadh tomorrow. But what I'm saying is we need to be realistic about what it takes to defend Saddam Hussein. We've been through it once. Actually, we overestimated, except for the aerial missile defense, we overestimated what we needed against Saddam Hussein.
I'll come back to it. The one place where he had more capability than we ever imagined was his ability to keep launching ballistic missiles, trying to drag Israel into the war, taking out an American barracks in Dhahran. So I'm not saying we don't face any threats, but what I'm saying is the threats in the future, which are harder to see and harder to analyze, may be much more formidable than the ones today. So let's get the balance shifted.
Hunt: Let me ask another one before we take a break. Secretary Wolfowitz, within the last week President Bush and President Putin of Russia agreed on a tentative or arrived at a tentative linkage of long-range and short-range missile defense. Some of the military are a little concerned that this kind of an agreement gives the Soviets -- not the Soviets, I'm sorry -- the Russians a veto power over our long- range missile capability; that they are able to force us to get rid of our long-range missiles to a dangerous extent. Does that worry you?
Wolfowitz: It doesn't worry me and, I mean, it's amusing that you use the Soviets. I think on both sides of the --
Hunt: It's a Freudian error.
Wolfowitz: Well, but it's illustrative on both sides of the debate in this country, I think. We still have people who are wedded to the ABM Treaty, which I think is a relic of the Cold War, people who are wedded to extraordinary high levels of nuclear forces, which are a relic of the Cold War. The president isn't giving the Russians a veto either over missile defense or over our offensive capability, but what he's saying to the Russians is, "We both have a need to be defended against limited attacks. We can't defend ourselves against what you have. We're not trying to. We're not enemies anymore; and, in fact, neither of us need to have the kinds of forces we have today." We're going to bring ours down, whatever the Russians do. It'd be much better if we can encourage them to do the same thing.
Hunt: OK. We're going to have to take a break and when we come back, we'll ask Paul Wolfowitz: Will we ever get U.S. troops out of the Balkans?
(Commercial break)
Hunt: Secretary Wolfowitz, as you know, the White House got very upset when Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle accused this administration of isolationism a week or so ago. But "The Economist" that just came out a few days ago had a headline this week -- I think we agree that's not a [inaudible] publication -- about the tendency of this administration to reject various treaties and the headline was "Stop The World, I Want To Get Off. Has George Bush Ever Met a Treaty That He Liked?" And they were specifically talking about your rejection of a germ warfare treaty. There really is a sense that you all are unilateralists, isn't there?
Wolfowitz: Look, I can't be responsible for what people say and write, but what you just picked on is a good example. We are not rejecting the germ warfare treaty. The United States is a party to the biological weapons treaty. We comply with the treaty. We think it is an important treaty.
What is at issue is a 210-page document which I doubt any other head of state has even bothered reading which in the name of making that treaty more enforceable would actually allow Libyan and Iraqi inspectors to start poking around American pharmaceutical companies. It's ill-conceived, and that's the problem. It's not that there's any quarrel with a treaty that will limit biological weapons, but the details are very important.
And, frankly, one of the reasons some of these details are gotten wrong is frequently the United States is the only country that is willing to stand up and say what other countries are concerned about. So they pretend to be for it because they know that we'll protect them in the end.
Hunt: To walk away from the protocol, why instead wouldn't it have been better to say, "All right, we don't like it, but we'll try to make it better." Isn't that...
Wolfowitz: We're prepared to look at something that will make it better. I don't think you start with that 210-page document and put footnotes on it. You've got to start back, I think, with a different philosophical approach. And by the way, we signed the treaty in 1972 knowing that it couldn't be verified. The truth of the matter is verification isn't the biggest problem. We have caught countries, including the old Soviet Union, with biological weapons, and we couldn't enforce the treaty, and that's where I would have people focus even more than on how to verify it.
Hunt: Mr. Secretary, I looked up what the president, as candidate Bush, said during the campaign about being in the Balkans. Of course, he didn't say we're going to get out unilaterally, but he did say very clearly that the United States would get out before the NATO partners and leave the occupation to NATO. What made him change his mind? Why did he decide that we're going to stay there and leave with the NATO allies from Kosovo and the other Balkans state?
Wolfowitz: I don't remember the quotes the way you remember them. What I remember is that he's said all along, and by the way, he supported the operation in Kosovo even though he thought that the diplomacy that got us there was so much more --
Hunt: He said we got out earlier is what he said.
Wolfowitz: When the Congress was proposing a deadline on withdrawal last spring, he joined with Senator McCain in opposing that. I think he's been clear that you don't want to leave precipitously. What he's also been clear about, I think, is that without some American pressure to bring down requirements and some American pressure to shift burden to the Europeans, we'll be stuck with a longer and bigger burden than we need to have.
I'll give you an example. In Bosnia, for example, Secretary Rumsfeld has been pushing very hard on our allies because there are a whole range of functions in Bosnia that ought to be performed by civil authorities, ought to be performed by police and we're getting the military out of those functions. That's going to reduce our commitment in Bosnia. Will it get us out down to zero in a predictable time? I can't predict that.
Hunt: But we now have an open-ended policy that there is no deadline for getting out, is that correct?
Wolfowitz: There's no deadline, but there is a constant look really; and, in fact, a regular review every six months of what our force levels are going to be, and we're pretty steady bringing those forces down, and we may come to a point -- I can't tell you when it would be -- when we could say that it could be done with a deterrent that's offshore. But I also can tell you we do not want to create a situation where that terrible war starts all over again and once again, we're putting in American troops to stop something that should never have started.
Hunt: Mr. Secretary, like your boss, Secretary Rumsfeld, you are an old Washington hand. I've been here even longer than you have, and I can't recall any time since the end of the Vietnam War where congressional Pentagon relations have been as acrimonious as they are now. Complaints are so plentiful on the Hill about the Pentagon. Why is that?
Wolfowitz: I can recall quite a few times when they've been more acrimonious.
Hunt: But you're getting it from Republicans like Pat Robertson and John Warner as well as Democrats.
Wolfowitz: Well, I think there are a couple of things. I think there's a frustration which we understand that it took a long time because of the transition, and in fact, in part because the transition was slow, they were waiting for the '01 supplemental, and by the way, that's something we're trying to correct, this whole idea that the fiscal year budget isn't decided until half way into the fiscal year through a supplemental. That's a budgeting practice we're trying to get away from.
And then they were waiting for the '02 budget to appear and that, I think, caused some frustration. The B-1, though, that you mentioned is an example, and I think it's an example of the kind of problem we're going to have through together because there is no way we can pay for all the things we need to do to fix our military if we insist on keeping everything around whether it works or doesn't work.
In the case of the B-1, we took 90 bombers that really weren't working very well. Their availability was about 50 percent, and even when they flew, they had serious deficiencies. We're getting rid of 30 of those 90 bombers and taking the money that we save to make the remaining 60 a fully capable long-range bombing force. Now that takes eight bombers out of bases in three different states and we've heard from those delegations. We're not looking for trouble. I hope in the long run the Congress will join us in saying that that kind of saving is what the American people need, and in the long run, it'll benefit their states as well.
Hunt: Mr. Secretary, just briefly before we take another break. China is the only country in the world with double-digit increases in its defense budget and the kind of sophisticated weaponry that nobody else is building. Should the United States now regard China as a potential enemy?
Wolfowitz: Look, I think I'm as leery of the Chinese as anyone you'll find. You're right about the double-digit growth, but let's not exaggerate. They're starting from a very low level. They're nowhere close to our level. The fact that they're growing, the fact that they're a major country with major ambitious as a power means that we've got to think very carefully about how our relations work out. But I think it'll be a terrible mistake if we end up in a position where we regard each other as enemies. I think it doesn't have to be that way and it shouldn't be that way.
Hunt: We're going to take another break and when we come back, we'll have "The Big Question" for Paul Wolfowitz.
Hunt: Mr. Secretary, the Iraqis have been trying to hit U.S. planes; almost knocked down a U-2 the other day. Where is the answer? Should the United States really go after Saddam Hussein or just bow out and abandon the no-fly zone?
Wolfowitz: I don't think we can bow out. This man is a menace. He's not just interested in American planes. That's bad enough. He's interested in overthrowing his neighbors. He's interested in acquiring weapons of mass destruction. As long as he's there --
Hunt: Will you go after him?
Wolfowitz: When we find the right way to do it, I believe we should.
Hunt: Mr. Secretary, did it bother you that the decision to phase out U.S. military operations in Vieques, Puerto Rico -- that you were largely irrelevant and it was made chiefly by the White House political shop?
Wolfowitz: It would be a bother if that were true, but it isn't true. I mean, the decision was largely made a year ago when the Congress passed into law the referendum proposed by President Clinton that would require the Navy to submit its operations to a referendum next November. And if we lose, we'd be out in the same time frame we announced.
And frankly, no political realist that I know says we had a prayer of winning that referendum. It was a decision by the Navy to say, "Let's get these last two years of training in an effective and less rancorous way, because we're not going to stay beyond '03 anyway." The law and the referendum doomed us, not any interference from the White House.
Hunt: Secretary Wolfowitz, thank you for being with us.
Robert Novak and I will be back in a moment with a comment or two.
Hunt: Bob, I thought Paul Wolfowitz, today, effectively put the best face on the budget problems, but this budget was pared back by the White House. And they ain't seen nothing yet, because with that tax cut it's going to get really rough in the years ahead.
Novak: Al, he didn't deny that there is a fierce debate going on over at the Pentagon over the shape of the military. But he made it clear who's going to win the debate. The uniformed military is going to salute sharply to the civilians and say, "Yes, sir." And that's the way it should be under our system.
Hunt: And they always do. They're great at change. You know, I asked him -- I have never seen Hill-Pentagon relations any worse, and the culprit is not Paul Wolfowitz. The prime culprit, if you talk to people on the Hill, is his boss Don Rumsfeld.
Novak: You know, Paul Wolfowitz has been around a long time. And he is not a right-wing extremist or a wild man or a warmonger. He's more of a hawk than I am, but I think he is a defense intellectual. And I think he is well qualified for the position. They ought to be happy to have a soft-spoken person instead of a shouter in that post.
