2014 Budget
Despite months of talk about drastic cost-cutting, the Defense Department's budget for fiscal 2014 may not look much smaller than last year's – or the previous few years, for that matter. However, Pentagon officials on April 10 insisted the administration's requested budget reflects changing and stark realities facing the military.
The fiscal 2014 DOD base budget provides $526.6 billion, and close to $90 billion in overseas contingency operations, or wartime funding. The base budget includes roughly $130 billion for the Army, $156 billion for the Navy, $144 billion for the Air Force and $97 billion for defense-wide activities.
The base budget is a decrease of nearly $4 billion, less than 1 percent, from last year's budget.
"As I discussed last week, the cost of infrastructure and overhead, acquisition and personnel compensation must be addressed in order to put the Defense Department budget on a sustainable path," Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said at a Pentagon press conference. "The request being presented today takes important steps in these areas."

Spending cuts: Welcome to the new normal
According to a summary of the DOD budget proposal, the principal objectives for fiscal 2014 are to "act as good stewards of public funds, implement and deepen program alignment to the new defense strategy, create a force that is ready across a spectrum of missions and keep people central to our plans."
Within those goals are savings and efficiencies -- $34 billion worth in the 2014 budget across the future years' defense plan. The budget also asks for another round of Base Realignment and Closure in 2015, which would cost $2.4 billion over the next five years "but would eventually save substantial sums."
While the budget ignores spending cuts and caps that were mandated by 2011's Budget Control Act, it includes forward-looking investments for the post-Afghanistan military.
"The budget continues to pursue strategic priorities that reflect our nation's renewed commitment to our historical role in the Asia-Pacific region," officials wrote in budget documents posted to the White House's website. "It also targets resources toward other strategic priorities such as increasing our ability to effectively navigate the security challenges and opportunities of cyberspace, continuing to focus on funding on research and development and combatting terrorism."
Cyber, science and technology spotlighted
DOD's budget allocates nearly $5 billion to cyberspace operations – up from less than $4 billion last year – in addition to $10 billion for space and $2.5 billion for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance technologies. It also includes close to $66 billion for research, development, testing and evaluation; $12 billion for science and technology; and $3 billion for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a nearly 2 percent increase over fiscal 2012.
The Pentagon budget boosts cybersecurity with initiatives for cyber forces and U.S. Cyber Command, as well as information-sharing through the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative Five, designed to connect cybersecurity centers and other cyber analytics electronically and in real time.
Other areas of cyber focus emphasized in the budget:
• Construction of the Joint Operations Center for USCYBERCOM at Ft. Meade, Md., scheduled to begin in 2014 and last through 2017; • Development of tools to automate vulnerability detection on classified networks; • Funding for commercial software for data monitoring of defense networks that will identify and isolate suspect files for analysis; • Support for defensive cyberspace operations providing information assurance and cyber security to the defense networks at all levels;• Enhancement of cyberspace range capabilities by increasing capacity, improving analysis, and mainstreaming and sustaining capabilities of the National Cyber Range developed by DARPA under the oversight of the DDOD's Test Resource Management Center.
In some cases, such as cybersecurity research, investment grew by as much as triple over fiscal 2012, according to budget documents.
Mining DOD buying for savings
Beyond cyber, acquisition reform also was highlighted as a priority.
Reforms to acquisition through the Better Buying Power initiative, originally launched by now-Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, are supported in the budget. Documents note that the program has helped DOD institute best practices, "including applying lessons learned, expanding strategic sourcing, establishing acquisition professional reviews and instituting peer reviews to ensure effective competition."
"Today's constrained funding environment makes it even more important that DOD find effective means to increase its purchasing power for goods and services," officials wrote. "New BBP initiatives address current fiscal realities, including enforcing affordability caps, measuring cost performance and aligning contractor profitability with acquisition goals."
In the press conference, Hagel noted some acquisition programs already have been shuttered, and hinted that could continue as the hunt for savings and acquisition reforms endure.
"Over the last four years, the department has canceled or curtailed more than 30 major acquisition programs...rebalancing our portfolio towards platforms better suited to 21st century security challenges, and making new investments in areas like cyber and advanced intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities," Hagel said.

The National Council of Churches USA held its annual General Assembly this week in Denver where topics of discussion ranged from Christian unity to racial justice.
Under the theme "Jesus Said … Whoever is Not Against You is For You," the three-day meeting that closed on Thursday focused on overcoming divisions in the secular world as well as within the Christian body.
Prominent theologian Dr. Gary Dorrien, Reinhold Niebuhr professor of Social Ethics at Union Theological Seminary and professor of Religion at Columbia University in New York, gave the message for the opening session on Tuesday. more >>
Representatives from across the denominational spectrum gathered in Delhi for the last four days to hash out a plan for the Global Christian Forum over the next three years.
The Global Christian Forum program, which opened on Saturday, took as its main focus the recommendations of last year's forum in Limuru, Kenya, and the reports of the evaluation process from 1998 to 2007 as delegates reflected on the needs of the global church and its vision for reaching out to people in the 21st century.
The gathering brought together 60 representatives of the historic Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Pentecostal and Evangelical movements to share their future goals and participate in forum discussions on nurturing a broader ecumenical movement. more >>
With so many new interfaith dialogues between different sets of Christian and Muslim leaders, there is a possibility for overlap and confusion, according to the Vatican's top official for interfaith efforts.
There is now so much interest in Christian-Muslim dialogue that it is getting hard to see where it is going, said Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, head of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, in an interview after last week's landmark conference between Catholic and Muslim leaders.
"There's a risk of overlapping," he told Reuters. "It may be the price to pay for all this interest that interreligious dialogue incites." more >>
The most prominent ecumenical church association in the United States has accused the filmmakers behind a controversial DVD on radical Islam of "distorting truth and misleading viewers."
The National Council of Churches (NCC)'s Interfaith Relations Commission says the DVD, "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West," has the effect of "fanning the sparks of mistrust, bigotry and hatred that undermine the very foundations of a multi-religious democracy."
"We are deeply troubled by the apparent intent of a film that presents a barrage of violent images, pieced together with the voices of commentators who move from speaking of 'radical Islam' to impugning Islam and Muslims more generally and presenting fear-mongering parallels between today's extremist terrorists and the Nazis," the commission expressed in a statement released late last week. more >>
A team of Muslim scholars arrived in Rome Monday ahead of a landmark meeting with top Catholic officials.
The Muslim scholars, who will meet Pope Benedict XVI and Vatican officials for a series of talks starting Tuesday, hope the Nov. 4-6 meeting will help defuse ongoing tensions between Islam and Christianity.
"It is clear that the time has come to open debate on the common theological underpinnings and the shared foundations of the two religions," wrote Professor Tariq Ramadan, president of the European Muslim Network (EMN), in a commentary appearing in the U.K.-based Guardian. Ramadan is part of the delegation of Muslim scholars taking part in the first round of interfaith talks with the Vatican. more >>
PATTAYA, Thailand - The highly-anticipated, upcoming third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization will be addressing emerging threats and concerns to Christian missions, informed the head of the Lausanne Congress on Monday at a major evangelical conference.
With new forms of hostility towards Christianity emerging, S. Douglas Birdsall, the executive chair of the Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization, said the 2010 gathering in Cape Town, South Africa, is needed to bring together the best minds in the evangelical world to develop unified responses to challenges to the faith.
"You might ask is there a need for an international congress that deals with world evangelization," said Birdsall at the 2008 World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) General Assembly in Thailand. more >>

Dubai's population increased 1.9 percent during the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the first quarter to reach 1.7 million, according to figures from the Dubai Statistics Centre,reports Reuters. The numbers contrast with the numerous reports which suggested that the emirate's population would fall sharply because of the financial crisis.

The town of Silverfox Mill was a quiet place for many years, but this peaceful town has begun to unravel. The arrival of the Usury Guild drained the populace of their livelihood, forcing many into poverty, alcoholism, and prostitution. Complicating this trying time the town has recently lost its most beloved citizen, the wizard Osric Skanderbag. With his absence it seems the long-dead witch Anna has been raised to murder and poison, but this may be a front for more contemporary threats.
In a world where teleportation magic doesn't exist, the opportunity to travel a few days journey in moments is beyond value. With only a simple toll, you can be practically on the doorstep of Nizul-tibi before you know it.
A place where no one knows about or finds until the Circle chooses a person to discover it. For the Circle of Culthus has a purpose for that person, and letting other people know of it or discover it would hinder that purpose.
Triastu. The City of the Three. The Hallowed City. Triastu is the holy city of Trianarianism, and is the home of the Trirex. Many have paid homage to it, and many have gone on pilgrimages to it, and have marveled in its beauty.
What danger lurk within the ruined city streets?
Sharp thorns, tangled vines, and lost secrets.
As with many small towns Clarksdale has its share of secrets. Travellers that pass through are treated warmly, and are encouraged to stay for the upcoming celebration...
The adventurer rode into the golden-hued glade, looking around. If the tribesman he had 'persuaded' to help him hadn't been lying, it should be here. Ah, there it is, he thought. A small pool, with no inlet or outlet. Dismounting, he looked into the crystal-clear water. He could see goldfish swimming around, and beneath them the bottom was covered with golden statues of men and women, mostly nude but some with a kilt or loincloth.
"I'm rich," he exulted. "That damn tribesman didn't die in vain!" He stripped off his clothes and armor, noting in passing that the ground was mounded, here and there, with weapons, armor, and other items, mostly rusted or rotted by time, and dove into the pool to begin gathering up his wealth.
Silence fell over the glade as the new statue settled onto the others littering the bottom.
An enchanted forest where music permeates the fabric of life, leaving its mark on fauna and flora alike.
This is a quiet place in the forest of Kaarengard, an Inn where mostly rangers, woodsmen and the occaisonal adventurer spend their evenings, swapping tales of adventure and spreading the latest news.
The villagers are having a fit, they've found something in the woods!
There are many scret places in the old forests; the least of which is by no means Old Stone Face
A forest of perpetual Autumn
The establishment is run by an elderly goblin named Sax Stoneswiller. Providing this service to non-goblins is much more lucrative than what he was able to receive with his clan.
Alia exclaims, "What a gruesome sight!" and points to a brook filled with gravestones - some still upright while others are knocked over.
Spots of perfect green. The Ankorillian Islands. Jewels of the Blue.
Celebrations can be found everywhere: from the big city to your local township. Sometimes the smaller locales can have the richest of all celebrations since they are more personal. Dayern's Hamlet is one of those places.
"It is amazing to me how this one little stretch of water has changed the course of history," History of The New Country by Collen D'Madden Blue Diamond Press
A secret MLM (pyramid) company that offers eternal life, but in fact it transfers the life forces of its members to those position "above". If you get high enough, (meaning you get enough new members) you start to enjoy the benefits. Maybe a willing sacrifice is much more effective for the transfer. But no one says, that a suddenly unwilling member, threatening to tell the authorities, may not loose it involuntarily... thus start people to vanish, and aged corpses are deposited somewhere safe.

Mark Schiffman
Massage Therapist, LMT
"With a degree from the Swedish Institute, I specialize in a number of techniques.

Shiatsu utilizes acupressure points and stretching. It's a form of "touch manipulation," and is a safe and effective curing or preventative medicine that helps to balance a person's energy flow and strengthen vital organs."

One other thing in addition to the advice above ...
You have 4 streams and enabled allow multiple streams - but you have not split them on the policy selections list, so each one could potentiall try and look for streams
The policy selections list should look like:
Always haveing a NEW_STREAM statement first
Hope this helps
Authorised Symantec Consultant . Expert Partner.
Don't forget to "Mark as Solution" if someones advice has solved your issue - and please bring back the Thumbs Up!!.
Mark, as per NetBackup admin guide there is no necessarity to add NEW_STREAM into the backup selection if you want normal streams like seperate job for each backup selection (for each raw). NEW_STREAM work when you want to customize the streams, like two backup selection as one job and etc...
I dont think this will help.

Home prices jumped 22.1 percent in Phoenix, the metro area with the biggest gain. Prices in Houston rose 6.6 percent, the second-highest increase.
The states with the biggest drops were Rhode Island (3.5 percent) and Illinois (2.3 percent).
CoreLogic's price index is based on repeat sales of the same homes and tracks their price changes over time.
Several reports last month showed that the housing market is improving, though from depressed levels.
Homebuilders started construction on new homes and apartments at the fastest pace in more than four years in September. They also requested the most building permits in four years, a sign that many are confident that home sales gains will continue.
New home sales jumped last month to the highest annual pace in the past two and a half years. Sales of previously occupied homes dipped in September but have risen steadily in the past year.
Sales of both new and previously occupied homes are still below levels that are consistent with a healthy housing market. That's partly because the supply of available homes for sale remains low. And many prospective homebuyers are struggling to qualify for a mortgage or scrape together the bigger down payments that many banks are requiring.

The bad thing about WWE been scripted is that we always try to recreate in our minds how things should happen and when things dont go the way we want we complain and say things are wrong or bad, we do not give the WWE the chance to do things the way they want and for that reason we dont enjoy most of the things. I am dissapointed with the current product, but i am more disapointed with the WCW and Indie wrestling fans ruining the fan of the real WWE Fans. Dont know if the match between Roman and Lesnar will be good, and we all are making up our mind that it wont work. Just because we dont have it our way.
These people need to be identified soon. We do not want a Bush or a Clinton near this office!
Who will be your VP in this effort?
Good luck on making America great again. Do you have a plan?
When will you buy the WWE and run it the way it should be run?
And a lot of attention from some beautiful women!
Ms. Universe is over rated... lol
Lebron is the real Goat. The legend has spoken. No lie only truth
I thought you owned the network? lol

It's pretty clear that no one is ever going to solve the whole chicken or the egg thing. But that's not going to stop Kentucky legislators from trying, as Ohio's legalization of casino gambling has forced them to rethink their casino-gaming chicken and horse-racing egg (or is it the other way around?).

The American taxpayers were caught by surprise today when they learned that Ford Motor Co. earned $1 billion in the third quarter of this year. The sudden profitability of the seemingly inept automaker (the Ford Fusion? Seriously?) impressed industry analysts, who said such gains once seemed less likely than a Ford hybrid SUV or a woman sleeping with a dude who drives a Mustang and not getting herpes.

There are some things that even the dumbest kid doesn't need his mom to tell him more than once: The stove is hot, scary movies aren't real and eating at Taco Bell will make you poop your pants. A new study hopes to put another surprisingly debatable issue to rest: whether hanging out in a room full of cigarette smoke is bad for the people who aren't even smoking.

When we at WWE! heard that NASA was scheduled to shoot a rocket at the moon today, we thought, "Good, that thing's too scary when it's full."

There's an old saying that goes something like, "Once you learn how to ride a bike it's really easy to do it again at any later point in your life." The same can't be said for the education of local transportation planners, who today asked the public what it would take to get more people riding bikes even though it's kind of their job to know that.

There's nothing worse than being condescending toward someone and having it get flipped around on you. Today the people who will have to deal with the confusing wording on the anti-streetcar ballot said to its supporters, "Yeah, your anti 'choo choo train' bill could ruin a real choo choo train, you asses."

Anyone who has ever been caught by their parents stealing stuff from a store knows how much it sucks when they drag you back in there to apologize and give back the Skittles. U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson (R-South Carolina) knows this type of embarrassment, only he doesn't have a shiny wrapper and eye-level product placement to excuse his actions.

Sometimes it's difficult for white men to really understand how hard it is to break through a glass ceiling (can't you just smash it with a broomstick and try not to get cut when you climb up?). One organization that has proven over centuries that it won't tolerate its womens speaking out or breaking anything is the Catholic church, which today reinforced its stained glass ceiling by banning a nun who supports the ordination of women priests.

Today the newspaper with the funniest arrest stories in town took another step forward by posting a series of poll questions asking what fast-food places offer the best value for a poor person's $5. Among The Enquirer's choices were the Subway $5 Footlong, the KFC $5 Fill up Box, assorted value menus and whatever amount of chili you can get for $5. Enquirer editors said they would have included spending $5 at a grocery store but that shit takes too long.

If Mayor Mark Mallory isn't an expert on streetcars after visiting Portland, Ore., last week, then Michael Jackson isn't dead and Jeff Berding is respected by his peers. The Enquirer reported today that Mallory, fresh off a field trip to America's leading producer of progressive mass transit and Indie rocker boners, said that if Cincinnati's proposed anti-streetcar ballot measure passes that it will be an end to local mass transit (including Midwest commuter rail) forever.

PC Educator of the Week: Thanksgiving, Columbus Day are Insensitive Holidays
**Written by Doug Powers
This story comes to us from Somerville, Massachusetts. All I know is that if I lived there I would definitely be home-schooling by now.
From the Boston Herald:
A Somerville principal has opened fire on cherished American holidays, blasting legendary explorer Christopher Columbus for "atrocities" and saying "we need to be careful" about celebrating Thanksgiving in a scathing email to teachers — who are already under orders not to let the kids dress up for Halloween.
"When we were young we might have been able to claim ignorance of the atrocities that Christopher Columbus committed against the indigenous peoples," wrote Kennedy School Principal Anne Foley. "We can no longer do so. For many of us and our students celebrating this particular person is an insult and a slight to the people he annihilated. On the same lines, we need to be careful around the Thanksgiving Day time as well."
Mayor Joseph Curtatone said, "She raises a fair point. History is messy." School Superintendent Tony Pierantozzi said her "intention is to be very, very sensitive to all of the many, many cultures" of Somerville. Foley said she just wanted to "open up a conversation."
She must be a blast at parties. This sounds like one of those schools where you're sentenced to a week of re-education in the counselor's office for violating the "no angry rhetoric" rule after being overheard referring to Hi-C as "punch."
If the principal didn't like Christopher Columbus before, wait until she finds out he was responsible for climate change. The school will probably end up making Al Gore's birthday a paid holiday — if it isn't already.

I would say nothing works.
Right! as ooomes said, version 3.2.1 is not working!!!
Is there a way to downgrade the ACF to 3.2.0? My customer will kill me, lol!
I simply downloaded version 3.2.0 and replaced the last version (3.2.1) with the previous (3.2.0).
You can find the older versions here:
Thanks Rics!
De nada!
I deleted the 3.2.1 and uploaded the 3.2.0 but now fields won't be saved!
Any solution about that?
Do you deactivated and activated the plugin after?
I just tried on a fresh install, maybe the problem is in the last WP, not in the ACF, I'll check it soon
not working on a fresh install of the previous version
Hey guys.
Sorry about the buggy release. I've now fixes the repeater / wysiwyg problems. Please update to 3.2.2
Also, I would appreciate your help with some user testing.

Does this lazy fellow provide an alternative that could allow agencies to reduce their need for furloughs? (Stock image)
Instead of furloughing hard-working federal employees, why not eliminate underperformers or those who never show up?
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) is posing just that question to the Office of Personnel Management. In a March 27 letter to OPM Director John Berry, Coburn said agency leaders could avoid sweeping furloughs by getting rid of employees who do not perform official duties or simply do not work at all.
"It makes little sense to furlough air traffic controllers and border patrol agents while retaining employees who are AWOL, on standby, not performing official duties, or sitting idle awaiting security clearances," wrote Coburn, ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
According to Coburn, from 2001 to 2007, employees at 18 agencies were AWOL for at least 19.6 million hours. And in 2011, the government spent more than $155 million on 3.4 million hours -- or a year's worth of work for more than 1,600 workers -- on employees who show up for work but perform duties unrelated to their agencies' missions.
And in 2010 and 2011, Coburn said, at least 1,825 employees received standby pay totaling more than $13 million. "While it makes sense to have some on standby, such as employees at the departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, others are less obvious, such as the standby employees at the Agricultural Marketing Service," Coburn wrote.
Furthermore, as many as 20 percent of intelligence contractors drew salaries while awaiting their security clearances. They were never given "meaningful work," yet cost the government $900 million to $1.8 billion a month in wasted contractor hours, Coburn said, citing a Federal Times report.
Targeting those areas could protect employees who perform truly essential agency missions, Coburn concluded. He asked Berry to provide details to the Senate committee on the cost of standby employees and the total amount the government pays for employees "to do nothing."

Senator Coburn needs a lesson in conducting a Furlough in the federal government. There are civil service rules found in the Code of Federal Regulations which are put in place by the Legislative Branch on how Reductions in Force and Furloughs must be run. Performance is indicator. Whether your job is mission related also is part of the decision making process. So is your length of service. And whether or not you're a veteran. Whether you are routinely AWOL is not really a factor. Senator Coburn should be pushing for more effective management of the federal workforce. If those figures he posted are true, then we should be removing the management teams that allows a person to be on AWOL and not removed from their position. He should also be taking a large stick to the security people at federal agencies who make people go through the security process over and over again even though they have a current clearance. Ask a federal employee how long they've had to wait on a transfer from one agency to another because they had to "get through security." Most people who are bid on a proposal for Defense or Intelligence contracts are required to have a TS clearance before they can be bid as a resource. Companies spend a lot of time and effort recruiting people with these clearances. But then the government makes them go through another clearance process? Neither practice is cost-efficient.
The comment on the reserves is interesting, and apparently from someone who was never there. I was one of those folks who showed up and "did nothing", other than repair some electronics that the active duty did not have time to do and practice things like boatmanship and marksmanship, and fulfill other requirements mandated by congress. And Desert Storm was a vacation, I took a 60% pay cut and left home for 9 months, not a problem. The current issues? Have two co-workers who are reservists who were sent to the sand for three months, twice. Yeah, cut them worthless reserves, they do nothing.On the topic, I can see the same folks who did not like NSPS not liking this. It implies that if you do not work hard, then you do not get rewarded which seems to be the way things are not suppose to be (even though I was taught to work hard and give value for what I get).
To eliminate the poor performers, you must define poor vs good, then measure it, and finally implement it. Pay for Performance (and all the like) have repeatedly dismissed, so you're a decade away from your idea becoming reality. ........ You're far more likely to die sitting in your GFE chair than be fired.
"Another modest proposal: Eliminate high performers first" - You do this by breaking the social contract which currently guarantees Fed lower wages than the private but, which can never be reduced, greater job security, and better benefits. Oh, wait April Fools! We are already doing that.
Can we get rid of the poor performers (R-Senate, R-House) too? Oh, I forgot, they are deemed by God to be SPECIAL and above all criticism.

While the yuan should play a bigger role in the world's energy settlements by the end of the decade, Iran's shift won't be the catalyst says Una Galani.

Iran's yuan-for-oil payments won't catch on, yet. Tough sanctions from the United States have pushed the Islamic Republic to accept the Chinese currency as part-payment for crude exports to the People's Republic. But while the yuan should play a bigger role in the world's energy settlements by the end of the decade, Iran's shift won't be the catalyst.
It makes sense for China to use its own currency to pay for oil imports. The move transfers foreign exchange risk away from the world's second largest oil consumer and supports the government's long-term drive to establish the yuan as an alternative global reserve currency to the dollar.
For Iran, the yuan trade is more a matter of necessity than desire. Sanctions have made it hard to deal in freely convertible dollars or euros – the currency of Chinese oil payment to Iran since 2006 – so it has been forced to let its largest customer pay in its own non-convertible currency, just as it let India pay in non-convertible rupees.
The Chinese might like the Iranian deal to start a trend in the Middle East, but less politically squeezed producers will be reluctant to follow Tehran's example. While China might be more willing to buy oil denominated in yuan, Gulf producers have other considerations.
They peg their currencies closely or entirely against the dollar and hold most of their foreign reserves in dollar assets. Although the tie to U.S. monetary policy is not ideal, the choice is rational for economies dominated by a single commodity mostly priced and traded in dollars – and for governments which still rely on U.S. military support.
The yuan's status is rising, very slowly. China and the UAE have a yuan currency swap agreement, but it covers less than a quarter of the value of two-way trade between the countries. The pace will pick up as Chinese GDP increases and its currency becomes more convertible. The yuan-denominated sales to Iran constitute a small step on the yuan's long road to becoming a global commodity currency.
