This is an important period for acquiring fundamental movement skills (running, gliding, jumping, kicking, catching…) that lay the foundation for more complex movements, thereby preparing children for a physically active lifestyle. Hockey Canada encourages children to begin skating at an early age through Discovery Hockey programs.
The focus is on the development of physical literacy. Fundamental movement skills should be mastered and motor development emphasized, and participation in many sports/activities is encouraged. For optimal skill acquisition, the basic hockey skills of skating and puck control are introduced through the Initiation Program. FUN competitions are also introduced in a team environment.
During this period players continue to develop motor skills and coordination. Practices sessions should be held twice a week during the season. Ongoing participation in compatible sports is strongly encouraged. The Novice Skills Program is designed to promote the continued development of physical literacy, fitness, and the basic skills required to play hockey.
This stage is the beginning of the most important window to develop the fine motor skills on an individual technical skill basis that leads to utilizing these skills into individual and team tactics later on. During this phase, prior to the beginning of the growth spurt, players have the best opportunity to learn and begin to master fine motor skills that can be used in combination with other skills. In most cases what is learned or not learned in this stage will have a very significant effect on the level of play that is achieved later on. Players should be able to begin to transfer skills and concepts from practices to games.
This is the most significant period for development. This is the window of accelerated adaptation to motor coordination. Group interaction, team building and social activities should be emphasized. A reasonable balance of practices and games will foster the ongoing development and mastery of essential skills in hockey.

Talk is cheap, right? We can use lots of lengthy words to try and tell you about how our granite and quartz is the highest quality or about how our design, fabrication, and installation professionals are second to none when it comes to making your project look like it just jumped out of the pages of a magazine. However, what you really want is to see evidence of those words put into action:

Why Choose Bad Lizard
What sets us apart from other granite & quartz contractors?
"The finished product looks much more elegant, and our customers appreciate that." - Johnnie Rominger
First of all, we only provide the highest quality craftsmanship when it comes to your stone surface needs. Our quality work will be on display forever in your home, therefore we strive for superiority. An example of that quality is we do not joint seams around your sink.

Former hockey player and youth hockey coach Barry Fig is out on a $3,500 bond and faces eight felony charges, 37 misdemeanors and up to a decade in prison.
"It is a lot," says Ramon Korionoff, the public affairs director for the Montgomery County state's attorney's office. "There are multiple victims with 45 charges at this point and the grand jury handed that down today and it shows just how serious these crimes are."
Fig is accused of stealing from fellow hockey players at at least six local rinks. Police say Fig simply walked into the lobby, checked team schedules, and while unsuspecting players hit the ice, slipped into locker rooms. There he allegedly rifled through purses and hockey bags. He made off with cash, credit cards, and driver's licenses.
Documents show Fig used the credit cards to shop at Target and other stores.
"Even though you know it's a locker room and you think your stuff is safe, you really can't just leave it out because you really don't know what's going to happen," says Korionoff.
Police arrested Fig after a routine traffic stop for an expired vehicle registration tag. When they searched his car, Montgomery County police found seven credit cards and several driver's licenses belonging to other people.
Fig was a youth hockey coach for the Montgomery County Youth Hockey Association during the 2011-2012 season, but quit mid-season. Fig was also a player for Hockey North America, an adult hockey league, until early this year. A representative for the league says he has since been kicked out.{}
Fig faces multiple charges in Arlington and Fairfax counties for similar acts. It's not the first time{}he has run into law. Court records show Fig has faced multiple burglary and theft charges since 2009.

Casual yet dressy.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I took the Mood Indigo shoes on a trip. I needed them to be dressy for a funeral but at the same time durable for a trip to Niagara Falls for hiking. They worked excellent. Packed very well in a small carry on suitcase. Great for everything; comfort level was very high, lots of support for standing long periods. I received lots of compliments, little did they know I bought them for hiking. Size ran true with or without socks. I love them and wish I had a pair in every color for every occasion.
Perfect travel shoe
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
I wore this pair of shoes every day while traveling for a week in southern Germany. Cobblestone streets were no problem. Comfortable all day long and good support. And way better looking than tennis shoes. Runs about a half size larger than my normal size for flats.

Ray, you also can add your free (w/the D600) copy of View NX to manipulate the raw file... I still like it better for that job than CS6. Once I get the raw file to where I want it to be in both of Nikon's PP software I then go in to CS6. Until you can upgrade to a more recent version of LR or PS this may help...

With the release of v10.04, the live update of the solution is now also made available with Optimate. It allows you to get a high level view of your design study in real time, showing you which cases are in progress and which are complete. Not only do you see the status of each design point but while your designs are running, you can connect to them and flip through updating scenes and plots to see how the results are evolving. This ability to not only better understand, but also to take control of your design during your Optimate study ensures that your computational resources are put to good use running the designs that really matter.
STAR-CCM+ v10.04 delivers two new features to help streamline your process for extracting the right information from your simulations. We have added an option to store a history of simulation data at the boundaries only, resulting in a significant savings in disk space and a substantial reduction in time to navigate the stored results. We have also added custom summaries, to enable you to choose exactly what content you want to save from your simulation file in a customized HTML report. With custom summaries, you'll be able to focus on fewer details, resulting in more effective and efficient communication of the key elements of your simulation efforts.
As we have developed STAR-CCM+ we have always worked to provide a tool based on the philosophy that integration allows the engineering analyst to cut down simulation time and cost while expanding application scope. With v10.04, we make a huge leap forward in these aims, with the release of a finite element solid stress solver to provide computational solid mechanics capabilities from the same integrated user interface you are already very familiar with.
So why did we develop this solid mechanics capability in STAR-CCM+?
In the upcoming release of STAR-CCM+, v10.04, we have added two new features to significantly increase the flexibility of the CAD-clients as well as add a new dimension to the transfer. CAD-clients now allow import of reference planes and coordinate systems. These entities may be used within STAR-CCM+ for a range of tasks. CAD-clients now enables direct import of CAD files as well, opening the door to insert a bi-directional link into a template or existing sim file without the need to fire up your CAD package.
With the release of STAR-CCM+ v10.04, we are providing a powerful, and unique, new feature that will allow you to gain greater understanding of your flow and thermal analyses. For the first time, you will be able to use the adjoint solver to look at sensitivities not only within your fluid domain but your solid also. By taking account of more of the physics in your sensitivities, you can now use adjoint to help provide a better optimized design, earlier in the product development process thus reducing the risk of failures and costly product recalls.
In the upcoming release of STAR-CCM+ v10.04, we have implemented a new equilibrium motion type for DFBI bodies is used for simulating the motion of moving bodies that tend towards a steady state equilibrium position. With this feature the body is incrementally 'teleported' to the current best estimate of the equilibrium position rather than allowing it to oscillate freely about it.
Just weeks after announcing that we had broken a "world record" by scaling STAR-CCM+ across 55,000 cores on the 1.045 PetaFLOP Hermit cluster, we are pleased to announce that we've smashed it already, by scaling up to 102,000 cores on NCSA's Blue Waters supercomputer, which included running a 1 billion cell aerodynamics simulation. Blue Waters is one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world*, and is the fastest supercomputer on a university campus.
Of course, lots of CFD vendors have claimed a "world record" from time to time. And I'm sure someone will break it again soon. But what does any of this mean in the real world? How does it help you as an engineer?
We know a good scientific visualization when we see one – colormaps are a big part of this and when used effectively, they can make all the difference. The ability to create your own colormap within STAR-CCM+Ⓡ has been around for a long time and around this time last year, we delivered a full featured interactive colormap editor with the v9.04 release.
Still, what makes for a good colormap is not common knowledge. Surprisingly, the most frequently used colormap for scientific visualization, the rainbow colormap, is regarded as one of the least effective.
In this blog I'll tell you how to choose the most effective colormap for you application, allowing you to present your results in a more attractive, more informative way.
Prometheus (which literally means "forethought"), was a Titan whom Zeus had defeated. He was given a task to go to earth and make its creatures. He crafted human beings and gave them arts and culture. But they were suffering and terribly shivering in the cold. So against Zeus' direct wishes, he also gave "fire" to mankind. Little did humans know that this gift meant literally they would have to "play with fire". In order to have control over the the wild rage, as wise as they were, humans started to investigate it in more scientific ways. But they found it wasn't very easy. In fact it was so complicated, even schoolbook combustion examples would have stiff and difficult to solve ODE systems…
You might have noticed our recent announcement that STAR-CCM+® has "maintained perfect scalability" across 55,000 cores on the 1.045 PetaFLOPS Hermit cluster, at the High Performance Computing Cluster Stuttgart (HLRS). This announcement made me smile for two reasons. The first was that one of our competitors has recently been bragging about running a simulation on 10,000 cores. Well done for that! But, more importantly, because I've spent a lot of time recently interviewing the founders of our company for an article that I've written about our 35th Anniversary. One of the recurring themes in those interviews was that of computing that they had access to in the early days of the company. adapco's first computer was a VAX 11/750, described by Steve MacDonald as being "about the size of a washing machine." This computer, which cost a cool $200k (adjusted for inflation), was capable of performing a massive 120,000 floating point operations per second.

HowTo: Determine which NAD_1983_To_WGS_1984 transformation to use
|Article ID:
|ArcGIS - ArcEditor 9.2, 9.3, 9.3.1, 10 ArcGIS - ArcInfo 9.2, 9.3, 9.3.1, 10 ArcGIS - ArcView 9.2, 9.3, 10, 9.3.1 ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced 10.2, 10.1, 10.2.1, 10.3, 10.3.1, 10.2.2 ArcGIS for Desktop Basic 10.2, 10.2.1, 10.3, 10.3.1, 10.2.2, 10.1 ArcGIS for Desktop Standard 10.2.1, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3.1, 10.2.2, 10.3
The instructions provided should help in determining the correct geographic/datum transformation to use when transforming data between NAD 1983 and WGS 1984.
- Here is the list of supported geographic/datum transformations between NAD 1983 and WGS 1984 at ArcGIS Desktop 10.3.1. Certain transformations may not be available at earlier version of the software.
- One of the most important considerations in selecting a geographic transformation is consistency: using the same transformation each time to transform between these two geographic coordinate systems (datums). When using the Project Tool, the transformation method applied is recorded in the metadata.
- The EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset can be downloaded from the similarly titled link in the Related Information section below. This database is a free download and is updated frequently. This dataset includes information on the source of geographic/datum transformation parameters and may include the accuracy of the transformation from the transformation source.
ArcGIS Desktop version 9.2 uses information from version 6.10.2 of the database. Version 9.3 uses information from version 6.13. ArcGIS Desktop version 10.0 uses information from version 7.4. Version 10.3.1 utilizes information from 8.6.2.Information from new versions of the EPSG database are not automatically added to the Esri projection engine. New items are added when requested by users.
- The difference between the GRS 1980 spheroid, the basis for the NAD 1983 datum, and the WGS 1984 spheroid is 0.0001 meters in the length of the semi-minor axis - the distance between the geodetic center of the earth and the North Pole. The semi-minor axis for GRS 1980 is 6356752.3141 meters. This axis for WGS 1984 is 6356752.3142 meters, while the semi-major axis both spheroids measures 6378137 meters.

Other - See details below.
This really has to be one of the worst "white papers" I have ever read. Not only is the information out of date, but the writing style and grammar are not appropriate for this type of "How To". I could not imagine how a person new to the GIS field would even begin to get a solid understanding of transformations.

Great article! It helped a lot!
I dont understand why others are having difficulty understanding and applying the information in this article. I found it very helpful.
By Anonymous - 04/25/2011 9:50 AM
I followed the article's instructions, but experienced another problem. I've provided details below.
I found this article in the HowTo section. It is *NOT* a How To. In order for it to be a How To, it needs to be re-written in user-friendly English. For example: "To determine which transformation method to use, first you need to determine which part of the globe you will be mapping. If you are mapping in the continental USA, then the most appropriate transformation is NAD_1983_To_WGS_1984_1. However, if you are mapping Hawaii, use... or if you are mapping Alaska use..." Something like that!

The article needs to be updated.
the article does not give any info for when transformations 2,3,6,7 & 8 might be most relevant.

The article needs to be updated.
the article says the information shown is only relevant up to arcgis v9.1, but does not tell users of v9.2 what to do or direct them where else they need to read if they have a similar question (like I do).

The article needs to be updated.
Hi there, this article is great, and served me well in 9.1. But in 9.2 it looks like there are now 8 different transformations to choose from. Which one to choose? Also, I'd love to hear about any other documentation available about projections/coordinate systems changes between 9.1 and 9.2 - especially since I'm teaching a class on it in February! thanks!

Don't be surprised if Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" is right up there competing for the VFX Oscar with "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" and all the other prestigious front runners. It's that good. In fact, Richard Parker, the integral tiger, is arguably the best photorealistic CG animal ever created. What a performance: the way he interacts with Suraj Sharma's Pi in such close proximity on a lifeboat. The tiger exhibits such believable expression and nuance; he uses the space underneath the tarp first as shelter and then to observe and control his turf. It's truly an amazing character arc, bolstered by the most spiritual and dimensional use of 3-D yet, which only enhances its Oscar chances. (See VFX featurette on creating Richard Parker below.)
Credit Rhythm & Hues, which masterfully surpasses the regal Aslan lion from "The Chronicles of Narnia." But first the director had to be convinced that a CG animal would work in 3-D, so he asked Rhythm & Hues to make a simple render test of Aslan without sweetening the animation. "He wanted to know if Aslan would be more or less real in 3-D," suggests Bill Westenhofer, visual effects supervisor at Rhythm & Hues. "We followed his instructions and it looked real -- the 3-D gave it a little more presence and you could see more detail and it helped the believability."
But then having a real tiger for reference makes all the difference. And once Lee caught a glimpse of trainer Terry Le Portier's ornery King, he knew he'd found his Richard Parker. "I had conversations with Ang about using a real tiger," Westenhofer continues. "I wanted to set the bar where there was no way we could cheat. I saw the wisdom of that when we were building the model of the CG tiger during pre-production and ran some tests. I think if we didn't have the real one to hold our feet to the fire it wouldn't have been as good.
"The other real advantage is that there is no way we would've ever gotten the reference that we had on set with us. One day one we took one of the lifeboats and put it on a gimbal in the tiger compound and put the blue screens up right away. We even put a fake camera they could rehearse with. All it took to film was to replace the camera with a real one."
Yet even with the best of intentions it's hard not to anthropomorphize the animation. It's too tempting to hold the tiger's gaze longer than necessary, for instance. Then you lose some of the essential animal qualities. But with so much reference at their disposal, Westenhofer and his animation team usually found something representative to convey. Still, nearly 90% of the tiger is CG in "Life of Pi."
"Certainly you'd have some happy accidents with the tiger making a twitch that you might not have thought of, but it kept us honest with the performance," he continues. "From a technological standpoint, the biggest change to our animation system was the skin simulation. Tigers are really a solid mass with loose skin hanging off it. They've got muscle that you can see coming through but they've got a lot of drapery of this loose skin hanging on top, so we had to make a multi-pass skin solve that first would stick to the muscles and slide over that and then another skin element would hang from that.

Stress and Aging: A Biological Double Jeopardy?
Gruenewald, Tara L., Seeman, Teresa E., Annual Review of Gerontology & Geriatrics
Chronic stress may take its toll on the body at any period in the life course, but age may be linked to characteristics of stressor exposure and response, as well as underlying biological vulnerabilities, which modulate the effects of stressor experience on biological well-being. In this review, we first address age-related patterns of stressor exposure and response, highlighting commonly experienced stressors in older adults and characteristics of stressor appraisal and coping in later life. We then review patterns of biological functioning associated with chronic stress experience and aging in an effort to highlight the biological commonalities associated with both conditions. We conclude with an examination of the idea that the biological changes typically observed with advancing age may render older adults more susceptible to negative biological and health consequences of chronic stress experience.
Although we are all susceptible to the slings and arrows of life, characteristics of stressor experience and stressor response may change across the life course, modulating associated vulnerability to ill health and well-being. Older adulthood may be an important period to examine potential health impacts of stressor experience as certain major and traumatic stressors occur frequently in later life and the biological perturbations that ensue are experienced in the context of aging-related changes in physiology. On the other hand, certain psychological and social characteristics more common in older adulthood may render older individuals less likely to perceive stressors or may dampen negative reactions to events. In the following, we first provide a brief overview of concepts and definitions in stress research and review age-related characteristics of stress experience. We then provide an overview of certain physiological changes that occur with chronological aging to provide a portrait of our internal milieu in later life. We follow this overview with a discussion of the physiological processes associated with acute and chronic stress experience. We conclude with the proposition that the experience of stress-related physiology in the context of normal physiological aging may act as a form of double jeopardy for poor functioning and health in later adulthood and provide some examples of this late-life vulnerability
Stress is one of those concepts known to all but that typically eludes exact or consistent definition. One framework that we find useful in the study of stress and connections to health distinguishes between eliciting events/conditions, perceptual or appraisal processes, and psychological, behavioral, and physiological responses (e.g., Cohen, Kessler, & Underwood Gordon, 1995). Stressor is the term typically assigned to an event or situation that is appraised as stressful or has the potential to be perceived as stressful. The appraisal of an event or situation as a stressor typically follows from perceptions that the event/situation contains some element of threat, harm, or unpleasantness. Additional evaluations of one's ability to successfully meet the demands of an event or cope with its aversiveness are hypothesized to further modulate the appraisal of an event as a stressor or one's response to the stressor. The cognitive, affective, behavioral, and physiological responses that follow perception of a stressor are referred to as stress responses.
Age may play a role in each of these aspects of stress experience. Specific types of major or chronic stressors may be more likely to occur in later life, including the death of social network members, disability and serious health conditions faced by the self and others, the loss of social connections due to role loss, relocation, or the health status of social network members or the self, and caregiving for a disabled or ill spouse (e.g., Boeninger, Shiraishi, Aldwin, & Spiro, 2009; Folkman, Lazarus, Pimley & Novacek, 1987; Glass, Kasl, & Berkman, 1997). …

Skip to comments.Did Clinton cut military and intelligence spending?
Posted on 09/13/2008 1:13:47 PM PDT by reaganator
I'm having trouble finding facts on whether during the Clinton Administration the military and intelligence agencies were subject to spending cuts. I've often heard this and was wanting to know whether it is correct. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
Of the 305,000 employees removed from the federal payroll, 286,000 (or 90%) were military cuts.The statistics for America's defense during the Clinton years reveal the deep-seated animosity of the administration toward those who served in the military. The Army was cut from 18 divisions to 12. The Navy was reduced from 546 ships to 380. Air Force flight squadrons were cut from 76 to 50.

Greta job Doogle.
The SOB whacked my contract. The un-intended consequence forced the military to take the operation back at an added cost of millions.
THESE IS HOW OUR MILITARY WAS DECIMATED UNDER (COMMANDER IN CHIEF)CLINTON, SUPPORTED 100% BY JOHN KERRY (THESE VOTES HE DID SHOW UP FOR). THEIR TERRIBLE JUDGMENT IS WHY OUR MILITARY IS STRETCHED NOW...ALL DUE TO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY LEADERSHIP (I USE THE TERM LOOSELY). Send to all...people need to know what they're voting for.
500 ICBMs WITH 1,950 WARHEADS.
Sen. John Kerry, Democrat from Massachusetts:
He voted to kill the Bradley Fighting Vehicle He voted to kill the M-1 Abrams Tank He voted to kill every Aircraft carrier laid down from 1988 He voted to kill the Aegis anti aircraft system He voted to Kill the F-15 strike eagle
He voted to Kill the Block 60 F-16 He voted to Kill the P-3 Orion upgrade He voted to Kill the B-1 He voted to Kill the B-2 He voted to Kill the Patriot anti Missile system
He voted to Kill the FA-18 He voted to Kill the F117 He voted to kill every military appropriation for the development and deployment of every weapons systems since 1988, including a bill for battle armor for our troops.
John Kerry voted to kill all anti-terrorism activities of each and every agency of the U.S. Government. He voted to cut the funding of the FBI by 60%. He voted to cut the funding for the CIA by 80%. He voted to cut the funding for the NSA by 80%. THEN, he voted to increase OUR funding for corrupt operations by 800% !!
Voting history can be accessed through Senate voting records. The above is an accurate summary
How could he? The line item veto was found to be unconstitutional. Congress makes and passes the budget. It's not an executive power.
Don't forget, Clinton and the democrat congress were enjoying 'peace dividend'. In doing so, they cut the military budget as well as the intelligence budget. Intelligence wise they reduced the manpower on the ground to depend, in some areas, soley on satellite surveiallence. (sp)
It was a Dem Congress. He signed the budget.
He didn't CUT the military.
He GUTTED it.
Then he/she/they bragged about how much they had cut spending.
I need sources, information to back this up. What about intelligence cuts during the Clinton Administration?
I think it should be added that he used up a lot of supplies, and left the supply chain pretty empty. You'd have to get the details from someone else, but one notorious thing he did was expend ALL of one kind of cruise missile and most of the other kind (air launched and sea launched). I believe he also saved money by neglecting to replace aircraft spare parts and the like.
It was estimated that it would take two or three years to start up the production lines again before we could even BEGIN replacing those cruise missiles.
The White House request for a budget increase had surprised some lawmakers because Mr. Clinton promised to cut intelligence spending by $7 billion over four years. The request is in classified sections of the Defense Department budget, in which it represents an exception to a plan outlining significant cuts in military spending.
...thats from a NYT article from 1993
This site said that he cut that spending by 35% and that 911 happened about 9 months later.
....and if my memory serves me correctly. I believe at one time those satellites were being used to monitor the Amazon basin........(I kid you not!)
He cut a lot of money from the intelligence community, which resulted in a huge gap in humint collectors. It was the classic peace dividend which allowed him in part to balance the budget. Of course, 9/11 was the result.
I'm lost on this. I've always used these talking points about Clinton. I thought Congress spent the money, and didn't the Republicans have control? Or did these cuts take place before 1994?
Search for yourself.
The list is very long on clinton, suggestion
go to google and type in
president clinton's military cuts ?
and-— read back on the postings, one guy
listed quite a few of the cuts.
Yes, I don't have details, but the military hated him. Reports after he was out of office surfaced about how difficult it was to be respectful to him.
The so-called "wall was enacted in 1978" preventing sharing information between FBI & CIA.
Correct me on this if i'm wrong.
As a percentage of the total budget, Clinton's cuts in defense were extreme and took years to build back up.
Outlays for defense dropped with Clinton even in terms of current dollars. Let's face it; the Dems gutted defense and it took years to repair the damage.
Bush-bashers never mention that rebuilding defense was the biggest cause of increases in post 9/11 federal spending.
"All of those military cut backs were started under George Bush."
Wrong. And it's George.
I Googled Clinton Military Cuts and the first entry is
Bill Clinton Of the 305000 employees removed from the federal payroll, 286000 (or 90%) were military cuts.The statistics for America's defense during the Clinton years ... www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=644 - 63k - Cached - Similar pages - Note this
Google works really well when looking for history
Here is a report on Intelligence and Defense funding throughout the 1980s and 1990s. It's the best thing you'll find on Intelligence funding in those years:
It is from this document:
You could also source Tenet's comments about Intel funding in the 1990s:
"By the mid-1990s the Intelligence Community was operating with significant erosion in resources and people and was unable to keep pace with technological change. When I became DCI, I found a Community and a CIA whose dollars were declining and whose expertise was ebbing."
There's not a lot on Intel funding in those years because it wasn't made public.
Clinton's most significant failings as President concerned less publicized but far more ominous matters of national security. Clinton's loathing of the American military led to his failure in his primary responsibility: the protection of the American people. His actions with regard to military preparedness speak for themselves. In less than three years, deployments increased while manpower decreased from 2.1 million to 1.6 million. That decrease was the foundation upon which stood Al Gore's purported "reinvention" of government. Of the 305,000 employees removed from the federal payroll, 286,000 (or 90%) were military cuts.The statistics for America's defense during the Clinton years reveal the deep-seated animosity of the administration toward those who served in the military. The Army was cut from 18 divisions to 12. The Navy was reduced from 546 ships to 380. Air Force flight squadrons were cut from 76 to 50.
While the U.S. military was used as a 'meals on wheels' service by the Clinton administration in its nation building adventures, the military had its own humanitarian crises at home on its own bases. The pay freeze instituted by Clinton was imposed on a military in which 80 percent of all troops earned $30,000 per year or less. Food stamp applications soared and re-enlistment rates dropped.
Clinton Seeking $14 Billion Cut By the Military
Defense Secretary Les Aspin has directed the Pentagon to produce a spending plan for the next fiscal year that is at least $14 billion less than the budget for the current year, according to internal Pentagon documents.
About $8.3 billion of what Mr. Aspin hopes to cut is to come from the operating budgets of the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines. That is likely to mean faster cuts in troops, less training time and fewer ships than President Bush had envisioned in his final budget. Reducing Troops in Europe
The military budget for the current year is $283 billion, in 1994 dollars, adjusted for anticipated inflation of 3.7 percent. Before he left office, former Defense Secretary Dick Cheney had proposed a $280 billion spending plan for the next fiscal year.
In a departure from Mr. Cheney's plan, Mr. Aspin directed that money for the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization, which operates the "Star Wars" anti-missile program, be kept at the current level of $3.8 billion. Mr. Cheney had requested $6.3 billion for it.
In general, Mr. Aspin is using the Cheney plan as a basis, while seeking deeper cuts. Mr. Aspin, for example, directed the Pentagon to comply with legislation that forces in Europe be reduced to 100,000 troops by 1996 from about 185,000 now.
Mr. Aspin, in memorandums to the acting service secretaries sent late Tuesday, ordered the services to submit their reductions by next Monday. The Navy and Marine Corps were told to reduce their combined budget by $3 billion, the Air Force by $2.8 billion and the Army by $2.5 billion. Each reduction is about a 4 percent cut from levels outlined by the Bush Administration.
and here is a chart of military spending
when clinton took office spending on the military was about 5% of GDP and 21% of the total budget
by the time he left it was about 3% of GDP and 16 % of the total outlay
and, as I understand, erected a wall preventing the FRI criminal division from speaking to the FBI security division, with serious consequences for those who violated the edict.
Can't give specifics but can relate that hubby was in military, in Pentagon, doing budget stuff and complained bitterly of all the cuts and reductions. Bubba "balanced the budget" on the back of the Defense Dept - known fact.
At a Republican debate in Boca Raton on Jan. 24, 2008, Rudy Giuliani repeated his claim that Bill Clinton is to blame for shrinking the nation's military.
"I think we should increase the size of our military substantially to overcome the damage that Bill Clinton did with the peace dividend," he said, adding that "a lot of the cause of (the smaller military force) was Bill Clinton's peace dividend, in which he cut the military 25 and 30 percent."
We've covered this topic in two previous items, one for Giuliani and one for a similiar claim made earlier by Mitt Romney. But because this misleading claim is new to many voters who are just tuning into the campaign, we'll reiterate what we've said before.
Romney made his claim in April 2007, saying that, "Following the end of the Cold War, President Clinton began to dismantle our military. He reduced our forces by 500,000. He retired almost 80 ships. Our spending on national defense dropped from over 6 percent of GDP to 3.8 percent today."
The two Republicans are correct that military forces were reduced significantly under Clinton. The active-duty military totaled 1.8-million at the start of his presidency in 1993 and declined to 1.4-million in 2000. They are also correct that the naval fleet shrank dramatically. The Navy had 454 ships in 1993, but as vessels were retired and not replaced, the fleet was down to 341 by 2000.
But they are selectively choosing numbers that make it appear that the military cuts were Clintons alone. In fact, the cuts were prompted by the end of the Cold War during the presidency of President George H.W. Bush, a Republican.
During Bush's presidency, he and Congress agreed to a sharp drop in military personnel. Active-duty military declined from 2.2-million to 1.8-million. Total defense forces also shrank, from 3.3-million to 2.9-million.
The Republicans are trying to portray Clinton and the Democrats as weak on defense and to make the peace dividend look like a partisan effort. But contrary to the Republicans' claims, the post-Cold War shrinkage of the U.S. military was very much a bipartisan effort. It began under a Republican president and a Democratic Congress and continued under a Democratic president and a Republican Congress.
And so we find, as we did before, that this claim is Half True.
Take a look at this,not all you want, but might give you a lead...
When I was in the military under Clinton, our unit didn't have enough money to do training exercises.
That's what our commander told us.
The Republicans took control of the House of Representatives in 1995 (after Clinton's 2nd year of an 8 year term). Since the budget is controlled by the House, shouldn't the House Republicans be responsible for the reduction in military spending?
They seem more that willing to take credit for the reduction in the budget deficit that occurred at the same time.
Yes, read David N. Bossie's book: "Intelligence Failure."
The way it works is the president tells congress how much money he needs when he submits a budget. Congress can add and take away, but they start with the president's budget. The reason I can't buy the idea that Dems are for more spending on defense and Republicans want more money for welfare, is because Clintons budget cut defense Republicans amended defense increases.
Note the increase in defense spending from '93-'95 congressional appropriations to those of later years. Keep in mind that any flat out budget disagreement between the president and congress was viewed by the fawning press as the 'republicans shutting down government' that excused Clinton's lying under oath..

Crowded airplanes, lost baggage and delays often greet travelers during the Thanksgiving weekend, but the airport for North Carolina's capital city wrestles with another problem, coyotes.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Wednesday that officials at Raleigh-Durham International Airport have seen an increase in the number of coyotes crossing the paths of airplanes in recent months.
Airport workers and federal wildlife managers usually try to scare the animals off runways with cap guns or bottle rockets. They've come up with a new plan that includes improved fencing and keeping grasses trimmed low to manage coyotes and other wildlife.
One jet hit a coyote on a runway in September and another jet hit a fox recently. Officials also occasionally have problems with deer and birds.

Rising out of Ruins Left by Hitler and Henry VIII; Coventry Cathedral 1962 - 2002
Byline: BARBARA GOULDEN
NOT many people realise that when architect Basil Spence designed Coventry's third great cathedral he linked it not only to the old cathedral ruins but also to the city's first Benedictine priory cathedral established in 1102 and rebuilt in the thirteenth century.
Today anyone who visits Benedict's restaurant, built into the side of the 20th century cathedral, will find the remains of the priory's east wall outside the door.
Most of the rest of its medieval foundations disappear beneath nearby houses only to reappear again at the west end in Priory Gardens, 425 feet away.
Excavations carried out on the site of the Benedictine priory cathedral of St Mary have revealed a wealth of information about the past 1,000 years.
Today it is easy to see from the exposed foundations how that first Norman cathedral would have swamped the richly-endowed Saxon abbey founded in 1043 by Lady Godiva and her husband Leofric, Earl of Mercia.
So far, only the west end of Coventry's first cathedral has been thoroughly excavated. The rest of the massive foundations run beneath listed church houses in Priory Row and right up to the edge of today's modern cathedral.
There seems little doubt that stone from Godiva's abbey would have been incorporated into the east end of this huge edifice, which continued growing right up to the 14th century.
Amazingly, part of an even earlier wall - circa 700 or 800 - has been unearthed below the west end.
Could this wall be the remains of the nunnery founded by eighth century nun St Osburg and sacked by the Danes in 1016?
This is a puzzle with no ready solution. The wall's exact position was recorded, then it was covered over again.
But the 11th to 14th century remains and the section of cloister floor on show at the Priory Gardens Visitors' Centre off Trinity Street are impressive enough.
And the wealth of finds made by city archaeologist Margaret Rylatt - who came out of retirement to lead a dig - had Channel 4's Time Team bubbling with excitement. …

As operations manager for the Gifford Pinchot Task Force, I found it ironic that in the same issue of Oct. 2, The Columbian covers the gutting of the local Watersheds Stewards program, "County clean water fund axes Watershed Stewards," and also publishes the Associated Press story "Waterkeeper movement thrives from Maine to Nepal" celebrating the thriving national and international Waterkeeper movement. It certainly sounds like the missions for these two organizations are the same, indeed the subhead for the Waterkeeper story trumpets "Stewards strive to protect health of local waterway."
Which one of these stories are we to believe?
Do we believe a $72,000 budget item that engaged over 100 volunteers and reached out to over 90,000 people on clean water and sustainability issues in Clark County is not worth the money (How much are we paying Sen. Don Benton again)? How much would it cost us to clean up just one contaminated water source that was unmonitored?
Or do we believe the story that hails a thriving international body of "Waterkeepers" for protecting our right to "Clean water for drinking swimming and fishing"?
Food for thought for our local county executives and the residents who pay these people to "work" and provide responsible stewardship of our environmental and economic resources.

Rated 2 out of 5 by PeterVast from Faded since day 1 These mouse pads were faded since day one... after using them for about 3 months, I had to throw them out because they just got so faded..... Granted most of my logo was black, but this was too quick to fade. I suppose a one day event would be fine.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Setmo Mousepad from It's a mousepad alright. I bought this based on the picture shown to me while purchasing business cards. When I received it, it looks like a mousepad, but my logo is completely lost in the background. According to the picture, the logo was going to be a different black and stand out against the black background. It's a mousepad alright and works like one too. I give it a poor rating because I didn't NEED a mousepad. I bought it because it had our logo on it. This doesn't have my logo on it. It has something faded and bad looking.

From the point of view of the internist, diseases of the cardiovascular system far outweigh any other possible indications for therapeutic abortion. This is a corollary of the fact that pregnancy tends to increase both cardiac output and blood volume. As Burwell1 has observed, pregnancy produces cardiodynamic changes similar to those which characterize arteriovenous fistula. Within certain limits, these changes are reversible in both instances.
Let us first consider hypertension which grows steadily worse as pregnancy proceeds. This includes hypertension which existed prior to conception, as well as that which appears during gestation. Certain observations2 have indicated that many women with hypertension, even when they have albuminuria, edema or headache, bear children without immediately discernible ill effects to themselves or their offspring. In such cases, however, the probabilities are that the hypertension is fundamentally benign and that it will abate to a considerable extent after delivery. It is

Conventional Wisdom This Historical Society Exhibit Recalls the Many Political Conventions Chicago Has Hosted over the Years
Walek, Gordon, Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)
Byline: Gordon Walek Daily Herald Staff Writer
Surely, we don't need to remind you what transpired the last time Chicago hosted a national political convention. No one with even a distant connection to the tumultuous events of 1968 will ever forget it. And city fathers are making sure nothing similar happens again.
The so-called police riot? The shouting match between Mayor Richard J. Daley and Connecticut Sen. Abraham Ribicoff? Young CBS newsman Dan Rather getting pushed to the convention floor by security officers who Walter Cronkite described as "thugs"? Given the tenor of the times, those actions made sense. No, what's to be avoided, at all costs, is a reincarnation of the Humphrey dress.
The Humphrey dress? It's a hideous green and blue cotton thing, emblazoned with H's and Hubert Humphrey's signature. It was displayed, and presumably sold, in a Humphrey "boutique" in the Conrad Hilton, where Democratic Party officials camped out. In the annals of campaign history, the fashion item was a bust.
The dress, one of about 500 artifacts in the Chicago Historical Society's new exhibit, "Parades, Protests, Politics: Chicago's Political Conventions," speaks volumes about why Richard Nixon went on to defeat Humphrey in the presidential election. With friends designing dresses like that, who needs dirty tricks?
The exhibit, curated by Kathleen Zygmun and on display through next January, is a snapshot of the Chicago political convention experience, which is extensive. The upcoming Democratic fandango at the United Center will be the 25th major party convention hosted by the city (in addition to 25 third party national conventions) - more than any other city in the country.
Most of the structures in which those gatherings convened - from the Wigwam where Abraham Lincoln was nominated in 1860 to the Chicago Stadium, which hosted both parties in 1932 and 1944 and the Democrats in 1940 - no longer exist. Only the Auditorium, where Republicans met in 1988, and the International Amphitheatre, where Democrats and Republicans gathered on five occasions, have survived.
So even if walls could talk, most of those that heard the political maneuvering and backroom deals came down long ago. Which left Zygmun with the job of picking up, and assembling, some curious pieces. The Humphrey dress was one. Others include delegate ticket stubs, jewelry, buttons, banners, handkerchiefs, photographs, video and audio tapes, paintings and even furniture from many of those political confabs. Most of the artifacts are from the historical society's collection, which may make Zygmun's job sound simple. Just head for the basement and haul the stuff up.
Far from it. She had to find things first.
"We're not computerized yet," Zygmun said. A year ago she began scanning catalog cards and inventory lists in each of the museum's seven departments simply to identify items that might be appropriate.
"It's a long process," she said. "But very exciting."
Eventually, she came up with 950 artifacts from which she selected about 500 for the exhibit. The various trinkets and curios speak to not only the changes in technology over the years, but the evolution of political conventions as well.
In the late 19th century, handkerchiefs were favored convention items. The exhibit features a particularly fine one featuring Benjamin Harrison, the 1888 Republican presidential nominee.
In the early 20th century, notes Zygmun, the invention of celluloid coincided with a big political campaign button business. …

Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and the eponymous Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen) are again pitted against each other in Season Two.
Tremendous pressure and excitement going into second season for show creator.
IN a strange twist of events, the first season of Hannibal ends with FBI criminal profiler extraordinaire Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) sent to a dungeon cell at the Baltimore Psychiatric Hospital on murder charges, while Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) remains a free man.
This cell looks very much like the one occupied by Dr Hannibal Lecter in The Silence Of The Lambs, a film based on the book written by Thomas Harris.
This TV show, which is a reinterpretation of Harris' series of suspense novels featuring Hannibal Lecter, has given nods to the award-winning movie starring Anthony Hopkins. Still, it is a surprise when one of the promotional pictures for the series' second season has Will in a restraining mask not unlike the one worn by Hopkins in that film.
In a transcript with creator Bryan Fuller, courtesy of AXN, he acknowledged that there is tremendous pressure and excitement going into the second season because of how the series ended its first.
"We subverted the Hannibal Lecter legacy by putting Will Graham where Hannibal Lecter should be ... so that gives us a whole new playing field where we get to play with the iconography of Hannibal Lecter in the institution but it is actually Will Graham and he is an innocent man whom no one believes and he's out to get justice and also a little bit of revenge," Fuller said.
In the guise of being Will's psychiatrist and friend in the first season, Hannibal engaged the troubled FBI profiler in a number of mind games which concluded with Will getting framed for all the murders Hannibal has committed.
"At the end of the first season, Will Graham has a moment of clarity for the first time over the entire arc of the show. Up until that point, he is a very confused, tortured, tormented man and then we give him this moment of clarity – that Hannibal Lecter did this to me – so Season Two is really about him coming out swinging. What is his strategy? How is he going to get justice? How is he going to bring Hannibal down and it's going to take the entire course of the season to find out.
"Will was the hunted in the first season and now he is a bit of a hunter trying to figure out how he can trap Hannibal Lecter from the confines of a mental institution, which is no small task. So he has to have a plan and carry it through very meticulously in order to pull it off because no one in the world believes him."
The second season explores how Will is going to do just that when he is trapped within the four walls of the institution. Also, Hannibal is not a man who is easily rattled – he has always managed to turn any obstacles to his advantage.
"The challenge for the second season was how to keep Will Graham active, how to keep him integrated into the story in a way that has him driving it from a place of seclusion and also containment," said Fuller.
"So that was a challenge that I think we rose to the task of seeing how Will Graham is going to be able to manipulate not just Hannibal Lecter but all the characters in the piece to get to the ultimate goal of proving that Hannibal Lecter did this to him."
Catch new episodes of Hannibal every Tuesday at 10pm on AXN (Astro Ch 701). From May 8 onwards, Hannibal will air every Thursday at 10pm.

Thousands of runners lined up at the starting line of the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon.
They ranged from professional runners to experienced marathoners and first-timers hoping just to complete the course. Toward the back, 22-year-old Emily Alley nervously awaited the start.
This was the Greenwood resident's first half-marathon. When she started training, she was unable to go more than a mile without stopping and gasping for breath. Now, she was aiming at finishing 13.6 miles.
"It was amazing. About seven months before, I never thought I'd do anything like that. I had no idea before I started working out that I'd get into running and it would develop into a passion of mine. But it happened," she said.
The Alley File
Who: Emily Alley
Age: 22
Home: Greenwood
Occupation: Hairstylist at Transformations Salon and Spa
The past year has been one of transformation for Alley. During the past 12 months, she started working out seriously for the first time ever, picked up running and finished her first half-marathon in just more than two hours. Alley will be aiming to finish her second race this spring at the 500 Festival Mini Marathon.
While she has lost 30 pounds since she started, Alley is more excited about the way she feels now.
"I noticed a difference after just a few months. I have more energy and don't feel as good when I don't run," she said.
As a teenager at Greenwood Community High School, Alley was active in athletics. She took fitness classes and ran on some occasions but never had a serious workout regiment.
While attending college, she fell out of the exercise routine entirely. Only after graduating last year did she decide to pick it back up.
Alley and a friend started taking workout classes at the Community Life Center at Mount Pleasant Christian Church. They would sweat during Zumba and do step aerobics to burn calories. Cycling classes proved to be some of the hardest.
As Alley became more active, she became interested in new challenges. One trend that caught her eye were boot camps offered early in the mornings at the center. People would do a seemingly endless loop of push-ups, crunches, sit-ups and wall-sits to build strength and improve endurance.
"What really helped me stick with it was that it was held in a big group environment. You had other people to motivate you and encourage you," she said. "The more you keep going, the more you get to know the other people going."
After a few months of boot camp, Alley said she felt she was ready for the next challenge. When a friend suggested running the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon in November, she was hesitant but interested.
"I thought there was no way I could do this. I thought you had to be running for a couple of years before you could do something like that," she said.
But Alley committed to run the half-marathon and soon began training. The first step was just to get in running shape again. The first few weeks, she could barely get through one mile, often having to stop and walk just to finish. Then she pushed it to two miles, then three.
She would run on the off-days, when she wasn't in boot camp. Strength training and other cardiovascular exercises helped build up her overall fitness.
By a few weeks into her training, Alley was running six miles without stopping.
"That was the point where I said, if I can do that, I can do a half-marathon," she said.
Alley finished the Monumental Marathon with a time of 2 hours, 4 minutes and 23 seconds. With that initial hurdle behind her, she's ready to try for the Mini Marathon in May.
"Now that I've built myself up, I want to keep myself fit. I'll keep doing the short runs on workdays and longer ones on the weekends. I'm going to keep this up," she said.
