Midfielder Bridcutt was rested for last weekend's 2-1 win at Leeds and boss Gus Poyet confirmed he is set to play.
But Bruno suffered a calf injury at Elland Road while fellow full-back Calderon was sent off and serves a one-match ban.
Centre-half Adam El-Abd or midfielder Dani Lopez could therefore be asked to fill in at right-back.
Left-back Wayne Bridge was also rested at Leeds and his fitness will be assessed ahead of the match.
Strikers Craig Mackail-Smith (Achilles) and Will Hoskins (knee) are still out but Poyet says he will not make major changes despite already being assured of fourth place and a play-off spot.

IBM pushes state to keep layoffs confidentialJuly 16,2013
Staff Report
MONTPELIER - IBM wants to keep confidential the number of employees recently laid off at its Essex Junction facility.
IBM Monday complied with a state law requiring the company to provide the state with the names and other details of employees who were laid off last month.
However, according to the Department of Labor, "IBM asserts that all of the information provided, including the total number of affected employees, is highly sensitive and confidential commercial information."
IBM goes on to state that making public the information will cause competitive harm and damage individual employees.
The company cites Vermont's Public Record Act that exempts trade secret and competitive business information.
"While the department agrees that any information that could be used to identify individuals is exempt from disclosure, the department is not convinced that the total number of affected employees, as reflected in the notice, must be withheld from the public under Vermont law," the department said in a press release.
The department noted that it had received media requests for the total number of layoffs at the Vermont facility.
The state advised IBM to provide "any legal justification or other information to support its claimed confidentiality" and to file that information by noon on Thursday.
IBM was once the state's largest private employer with another round of layoffs, IBM has fallen to second place behind Fletcher Allen Health Care with 5,500 fulltime employees.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The city has released a statement defending its response to recent overflow issues, ...

Blank Won't be Nominated to Top CEA Spot
The White House has decided against nominating Rebecca Blank, currently the Commerce Department's top economist, to succeed Austan Goolsbe as chairman of the president's Council of Economic Advisers, administration officials said.
Earlier this summer, Blank was widely reported as among the most likely successors to Goolsbee, who leaves Friday, Aug. 5, to return to the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.
It isn't now clear whom the White House will nominate to succeed him — or when. Another contender is Alan Auerbach, an economist at the University of California at Berkeley.
The other two seats on the CEA are filled by Katharine Abraham, a labor economist and former commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Carl Shapiro, an industrial-organization specialist and former deputy assistant attorney general for economics at the Justice Department's Antitrust Division.
Blank was a member of the three-person Council of Economic Advisers during the Clinton administration and was formerly of the University of Michigan's Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. She returned to Washington in June 2009 to be undersecretary of Commerce for economic affairs, a post that includes overseeing the Census Bureau, and has been serving as acting deputy commerce secretary.

Advisor Perspectives welcomes guest contributions. The views presented here do not necessarily represent those of Advisor Perspectives.
The Downside Hedge Twitter sentiment indicator for the S&P 500 Index (SPX) gave another consolidation warning this past week. The previous warning resulted in only a few days of selling before it was cleared by a strong move up in price that was confirmed by bullish sentiment. While the last warning came as price was near a new high, this warning comes after several days of selling. This suggests that last week's selling shook the confidence of the bulls. We mentioned in our last update that the bulls needed permission to move SPX above 1600. They didn't get it, which resulted in a loss of certainty.
The daily indicator painted a negative initiation thrust right behind a positive initiation thrust. During the same time smoothed sentiment started to mirror price. Both of these conditions imply that traders chased the break above 1575 then quickly reversed their positions on the fall back below that level. This is a sign of instability and is a cause for concern. On the positive side, daily sentiment is diverging from price as it falls to the 50 day moving average. This suggests that we could see some strength early next week.
Many market technicians are starting to point out that SPX could be painting a head and shoulders pattern. We're not in that camp. We believe we're seeing a broadening top or a megaphone pattern. The whip saws in daily sentiment and recent consolidation warnings lend credibility to that pattern. Traders and investors alike are uncertain and simply chasing price. We suspect that the market is going to make very sharp moves (either up or down) over the coming weeks.
Twitter support and resistance levels widened a bit this week, but it was to the downside. The tweets for 1535 on SPX are being replaced by calls for 1525. While the tweets for any level above 1600 have stopped coming. 1575 continues to be the most popular upside target.
We're seeing something in sector sentiment that we haven't noticed before. Every sector is negative. The defensive sectors still have the highest readings so we can only conclude that there is a full on flight to safety under way. Last week's consolidation in price brought across the board negative sentiment. This suggests that not only are investors selling their leading stocks, they are also starting to raise cash from their defensive stocks. If this trend continues it will result in a very sharp sell off since the defensive sectors have accounted for much of the market's gain from the beginning of this year.
Twitter sentiment, sectors, and price levels point to lower prices in the market. Last week damaged the psyche of market participants. They are being whipped back and forth between fear and greed which is causing instability. Although the positive divergence in daily sentiment suggests some strength early in the week, this is a time to be cautious. Even though major support is at 1525 on SPX, we suspect any break below 1535 will probably bring with it strong selling.

It doesn't matter who they would actually vote for, 52 per cent of Ontarians believe that the Liberals will be re-elected.
That's according to the latest Ipsos Reid poll conducted for Bell Media partners CTV and CP24, shown exclusively to Newstalk 1010.
Of the rest of those polled, 35 per cent believe the Progressive Conservatives will win on June 12th and 14 per cent think the NDP will take it.
Liberal supporters are also more confident that they'll come out on top on election day. Nine in ten Liberal voters think they'll form government, compared to eight in 10 Tory voters. Only 35 per cent of NDP voters think they'll form the next government.
Tory voters are still the most motivated to cast a ballot. Seven in ten PC voters say that 'nothing short of an unforeseen emergency" could stop them from voting.
Ontarians believe the Liberals have more momentum (38 per cent) than the PCs (34 per cent) and NDP (28 per cent).
The desire for change is still strong in the province, with seven in ten Ontarians wanting another party to take over at Queen's Park.

First of all, there isn't an option to pay cash now when going through most toll booths as they have them blocked off with a sign saying "we will bill you." Yes, they will bill you and also impose a $250 administration fee if you don't pay your .65 cent bill within 45 days.
Second, I never signed anything agreeing to their terms. This is a financial matter not a traffic law. They are acting like a credit card company imposing a ridiculous interest rate on terms never agreed upon.
When I tried to pay the bill online with my existing account it was a nightmare and I was unable to do so. When I called their office I got nowhere with the guy I spoke with on the phone. I was later able to reestablish my tolltag online and put money in my account, only to have it go into some black hole because I kept receiving bills and late notices.
Rip-off and scam is an understatement. I understand they need to be paid for tolls but to forcing citizens to be "billed" and fined exorbidant amounts for small tolls and then have it go to collections and JP court are unheard of, unjust and should be unlawful!!!

A few minutes later the person I was speaking to called me back and informed me that she was the owners daughter and asked if I really was not going to use their services and asked if I was going to tell anyone about my experience. I replied with a yes. She then said "Well you better not tell anyone about this you don't want to mess with me."
I then asked if she was threatening me and she said "You better not say anything you don't want to mess with me." I then asked to speak to her parents that owned the salon and she would not give them the phone and then hung up on me. Worst customer service experience I have ever had. I was threatened!

Physical Therapist
Bell Curve
You were a little rough and snapped someone's wrist completely backward. Now you're the one who needs help.
You're in a physical therapy program; it's the internship in gerontology that's tough. You were observing a PT work with a 100-year-old nursing home resident, and the patient expired right before your very eyes. That's when you decided to go into sports-injury therapy. Pain, yes, but less right-in-front-of-you death.
You have advanced certification in sports physical therapy, and you were at the top of your class. A big-cheese football star hears about your prowess as a PT, and hires you on as his personal physical therapist. It's a great, lucrative gig. Plus, you've always loved football.
Through word-of-mouth, you've developed a big clientele of sports celebrities. You work hard, but you play hard too, so much so that you hire your own personal PT to keep you in shape.
Your big-time sports buddies have pooled their funds and backed your venture of a chain of physical therapy clinics. It's a success, and in a few years, you're the CEO of a 500-store chain of PT clinics. You're rich and happy and everything is going your way—except for your back. It hurts. Time to call your PT.

In case your bathroom is large then there is no issue in using bold color with bold and largeaccessories. But in any case overdoing anything will mean the complete disaster of the whole interior plan and project.
Blue and White Bathroom: This is a very common combination of bathroom color. You can use blue tiles and the white bathroom accessories. Both will balance each other.
Soothing Green: Green is one of the most soothing color. Giving it to your bathroom means you are creating a space that will pacify your mind.

A Palisade winery has filed a lawsuit against one of its' competitors over the use of the Palisade name, but that suit may no longer be necessary. Plum Creek Cellars sued Debeque Canyons Winery in Denver District Court earlier this week claiming its' rival can't use the name Palisade Plum Creek, maker of Palisade Red and Palisade Rose and Palisade White sued Debeque Winery after that company began bottling a sirah–rousson blend wine named Cote de Palisade. Plum Creek co–owner Sue Phillips is quoted in today's Denver Post as saying customers have been confused by the two brands, however, this afternoon an industry insider tells 11 News that Debeque canyon winery has decided to re–name their product, which may quash the lawsuit now in court.

"It was exactly what we had hoped it would be. This was the perfect combination of elegance and beauty. It is exactly how we wanted to announce the birth of our child."
"Beautiful birth announcement. Good quality paper. I ended up needing more and the additional announcements were shipped out immediately. Excellent customer service- would definitely order other products."
"I thought the card looked amazing when designing it, but was blown away by the style and quality one printed! These announcements were simply stunning and look like we spent a small fortune, when we really didn't! I can wait for our next purchase!"
"This is a beautiful card to announce our daughter's birth. All our friends and family loved them. Would have liked to have white as a text color for the details and to have the option of "she's arrived" on the back no matter what color is chosen on the back."
"The card is just lovely! I got the matte paper and had it cut with rounded edges. Talking to a customer service rep about the image was also incredibly helpful. Great company, excellent product, outstanding customer service. Order the card! (mine arrived DAYS before I expected it to)"

USSA Awarded Let's Grow Grant
The United Suffolk Sheep Association is the recipient of 1 of 15 grants funded through American Sheep
Industry Association's Let's Grow Committee.
Grant Summary:
This project will link the association functions of breed promotion, youth development and education with the NSIP functions of creating and meeting commercial demand for documented performance and utilizing the technology of genetic analysis. The USSA will update its registration
process to record performance measures and submit that data set (in large batches) directly to NSIP, creating a user-friendly system to fully integrate registration and performance. In the interim, USSA will subsidize the cost of data input for individual breeders, to immediately increase participation in NSIP. This project will dramatically increase the number of Suffolk breeders participating in NSIP and the number of Suffolk sheep in the database, thereby increasing the accuracy and validity of the genetic analysis. With heavy overfinished lambs hindering the efficiency of the U.S. sheep industry, Suffolk terminal sires (with reliable estimates for efficient lean gain) will be a great tool in managing this problem. As the largest single contributor of terminal sire genetics to the U.S. sheep industry, the USSA is dedicated to assuming a leadership role, and with a cooperative effort with NSIP, addressing the opportunities presented in the American Sheep Industry's Roadmap, and plans to contribute matching funds to achieve the goals of this project proposal.

I've been noticing that on several blogs that were at version 2.0.4 .. the upgrade didn't go to good (weeks later)
For instance: on my PetLvr blog ...
I've got almost 2500 posts .. and there's A LOT of archived posts that had a MORE statement is now permanently part of the text, and the rest of the article is missing.
I never used the more quicktag, although I did use the Evermore plugin. Prior to upgrade, all plugins were deactivated though.
I upgraded on February 4, 2007 and noticed on February 10th that there was problems with my Autosave function and I was getting the white screen
but nobody from wordpress replied or offered any solutions.
Now - I've posted 67 articles since the upgrade and half my archives before that are totally wacked.
What can I do? I did do sufficient backups of the MySQL database prior to the upgrade. Is there a hope in heck to recover this disaster?
I need guidance - PLEASE!

International Salvage Union (ISU) members recovered over 1.1 million tons of pollutants during salvage operations last year, a huge increase on 2006. During 2007, emergency assistance was provided worldwide for 282 vessels with cargoes and bunkers threatening pollution (an increase of over 20% on the 233 casualties recorded in the 2006 Survey).
The results of the ISU's latest Annual Pollution Prevention Survey show that oils, chemicals, other pollutants and bunker fuel recovered last year totalled 1,101,440 tonnes, as against 566,793 tonnes in 2006. This amounts to an increase of over 94%.
Thirty eight of the ISU's members contributed data for the latest annual survey. In 2007, ISU salvors recovered the following potential pollutants:
83%, crude oil (and diesel oil) 909,521 tonnes (400,581 tonnes in 2006)
5%, chemicals 57,506 tonnes (5,635 tonnes)
2%, other pollutants (e.g. gasoline, slops, dirty ballast, etc) 25,147 tonnes (88,313 tonnes)
10% bunkers 109,266 tonnes (72,264 tonnes)
The volume of crude oil recovered showed a steep increase of over 125% on the 2006 figure of 400,581 tonnes. The volume of chemicals, at 57,506 tonnes, represents a recovery to typical annual levels, from the abnormally low figure of 2006. In contrast, the tonnage of "other pollutants" fell to 25,147 tonnes, from over 88,000 tonnes in 2006. The volume of bunkers recovered in 2007 increased, but not by the same margins as crude oil and chemicals. In 2006 the figure was 109,266 tonnes, an increase of just over 50% on the 2006 figure.
The ISU's Pollution Prevention Survey began in 1994. In the 14 years to end-2007, ISU salvors recovered 14,286,070 tonnes of potential pollutants. This consists of 11,214,471 tonnes of crude oil (and diesel oil), 782,257 tonnes of chemicals, 1,003,308 tonnes of bunkers and 1,286,034 tonnes of "other pollutants" (recorded as a separate category for the first time in 1997).
During 2007 there was an increase in the number of tanker salvage operations: 24, as against 18 in 2006. The largest tanker service involved a VLCC with a cargo of 270,000 tonnes of crude oil. Last year also saw a significant increase in the number of casualties (tankers and other vessels) requiring the ship-to-ship (STS) transfer of cargoes and/or bunkers. The figure doubled, to 42 vessels. The largest STS involved a tanker laden with a cargo of over 89,000 tonnes of crude oil.
Lloyd's Form remained the most utilised form of salvage contract in 2007. It was used in 61 of reported services (over 21% of assistances, the same percentage as in 2006). The other services involved common law salvage claims, Japanese Form, Turkish Form, Hamburg Form, as well as Daily Rate and Lumpsum services. Eighteen wreck removal operations are included in the total figures.
The captain of the doomed El Faro cargo ship sounded an alarm for his crew to abandon the vessel shortly before it sank last fall in a hurricane near the Bahamas, killing all 33 onboard, the U.
A group led by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has gathered information from the recovered voyage data recorder (VDR) of sunken cargo ship

The reason I said financing cars is a fool's game is because these dealerships buy the cars for less than a fraction of what they sell them for. They are also good at playing with the numbers. They are not honest. For instance if they pay $1,500 dollars for a car from a Dealers auction they will turn around and want someone to put $1000 to $1500 down and put you on $400 dollar monthly payments for three years. They make four or five times back what the car is worth.
Stay away from Financing vehicles. Also, file a complaint with your state's attorney general, the CFPB (Google it) and the BBB. They will get to the Bottom of it. If you don't file formal complaints nothing will change.

Do be aware that there are two different models: a d700 and a d7000. They are not the same, by a wide margin. But as far as lens compatibility goes, they are equivalent.

Leeds fans should not worry about losing El-Hadji Diouf in the January transfer window following another stellar display, according to his manager Neil Warnock.
The Senegal international was once again at the top of his game on Tuesday night as Leeds bloodied the noses of Everton and sent the Premier League high-flyers packing in the third round of the Capital One Cup.
Goals from Aidy White and Rodolph Austin ensured the that Sylvain Distin's late header was nothing more than a consolation in a 2-1 defeat for Everton, but it was the showing of Diouf that got many talking.
He has rarely been a popular figure during his decade-long stay in England, with Warnock himself once comparing him to a sewer rat.
The pair have formed an unlikely double act at Elland Road, though, and even though Diouf could walk away from Leeds in January, Warnock is sure that they will remain as football's odd couple.
"Dioufy will not go anywhere else, he's promised me certain things and I'm happy with that," Warnock said.
"He's obviously not doing it for money, he's one of the lowest-paid players at the club.
"He's not going to get a stage like this again is he? He's a matador and you need something like that."

Danny Garcia-Erik Morales II Tops The Big Barclays Event
by Rick Reeno
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer has advised BoxingScene.com that Danny Garcia (24-0, 15KOs) will defend his WBA/WBC junior welterweight titles against former four division beltholder Erik Morales (52-8, 36KOs) on October 20th at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Garcia-Morales will headline an event being billed as "Brooklyn Pride" - which is going to play big role in the grand opening weekend at Barclays.
Garcia captured the WBC title with a twelve round unanimous decision over Morales in March. The Puerto Rican fighter returned on July 14 at the Mandalay Bay and shockingly stopped heavily favored Amir Khan in four rounds.
While HBO televised Garcia's huge upset of Khan, Showtime has secured the rematch with Morales. Several of the undercard fights will be televised by Showtime Extreme.
Morales, who had a rematch clause from the first meeting with Garica, feels confident of winning the rematch. He believes his pre-fight surgical procedure [gall bladder], which postponed the initial January date with Garcia, affected his training camp and also led to his inability to make weight in March.
"When he gave the opportunity to Danny, it was not the mandatory, so when he gave him the opportunity he wanted to make sure that if things didn't go his way that he would have the opportunity back, and that's what this is," Schaefer told BoxingScene.com.
"The first fight was a terrific fight. Morales, he had issues, he had surgery. He feels confident, and that's why he was pushing for the rematch, [because he believes] that this time he will beat Danny Garcia. It's going to be his opportunity. I know one thing for sure, given the way that both guys fight, that's its going to be another one of those toe to toe battles that we love to do. Morales really, really wants it and Danny Garcia is a very exciting fighter. You put those two together and it's going to be an exciting night and the kind of night that Brooklyn boxing deserves."
After Garcia captured the title from Morales, the Mexican veteran quickly requested an immediate rematch with Garcia. However, he allowed Garcia to move forward with a unification with Khan, and now Morales wants the opportunity to get revenge.
"Never underestimate Erik Morales. Everyone underestimated him against [Marcos] Maidana and you saw what happened. This is a huge, huge opportunity for Erik Morales - like it was a huge opportunity for Danny Garcia when Erik gave him the opportunity. We had discussed [the rematch] with Erik, when Danny was fighting with Khan. Erik wanted to go immediately in a rematch with Danny, but he was cool with giving Danny the opportunity to fight Amir Khan. But now he said 'look if you're going to put Danny in with someone else, that's not right.' And I agree with him. In boxing it is about opportunities and Erik Morales is certainly a fighter who certainly deserves that opportunity and someone who we know will deliver a very exciting fight," Schaefer said.
Golden Boy is putting together a stacked undercard with several fighters from the New York City area - including WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (31-4, 7 KOs), middleweight contenders Peter Quillin (27-0, 20 KOs) and Danny Jacobs (22-1, 19 KOs), welterweight contender Dmitriy Salita (33-1-1, 17 KOs), and junior welterweight prospect Eddie Gomez (9-0, 6 KOs) of the Bronx.
"With Erik Morales you have the Mexican element. With Danny Garcia, from Philadelphia, you have the Puerto Rican element. With Paulie Malignaggi and Peter Quillin, and Danny Jacobs you have the Brooklyn contingent. You have Eddie Gomez, one of those young terrific fighters from the New York area, from the Bronx. It's looks like we're going to have Dmitry Salita on there as well, so we're going to have the Jewish angle. I think what it's going to show that night, is the diversity of Brooklyn and the diversity of greater New York and it's going to be a terrific night of boxing," Schaefer said.

This I know will probably come as a shock to all mortgage loan officer NMLS test takers ...But my friends without your knowledge they are engaging in a testing fraud scheme that will have a big bearing on the score you will receive. So what is this fraud?
It's quite simple. You will be asked to answer 100 questions and will be given a time limit to complete the test. Only one problem...only 90 of the 100 questions you are asked to answer will count towards your test score.....10 questions will be thrown out. You will therefore be wasting valuable time meeting your time limit answering these thrown out questions that are not used in your score.
The adverse ramifications of this fraudulent test scoring scheme are endless. At the very worst you could be denied a passing grade due to this scoring manipulation....and if you (unfairly because of your score manipulation) should fail the test you will become unemployable in the mortgage industry. No job to take care of you and your
family for you.
These people are such professional fraudsters they even have an excuse for what they're doing to cheat you out of your livelihood. They will tell you all the information about their testing procedures are in their NMLS handbook. Again only one problem....no one ever sees this so-called handbook let alone be able to read what's in it..
My friends in the mortgage business you've been had by a bunch of hypocritical do gooders in Washington and in your State government. While all the bankers and stock brokers who caused the subprime mortgage crises got rich and are out playing golf on the golf course every day you are breaking your butt studying for a test that is completely unfair and fraudulent just so you can stay in the business. To see more go to my website about all the Mortgage fraud I wrote about www.ficofraud.com

Some of you have received the DAILY updates on my cleaning projects (which I know you have been waiting breathlessly for), but I've completed project one "The Utility Room", my crowning glory. As I told a couple of people this week I knew I had a problem....I mean, I was on a cleaning streak when I found myself cleaning the cleaning products. It's so clean you could lick the floor.....trust me, Max was my test dummy and he's still standing.....though when I say you, I only mean if you are K9 and already have a reputation for eating gross things....but I think you get the point......so my next project is my room.....I'd take pictures, but you would want to move in....so this is as close as I can get. I found a great deal on a couple of baskets, but it looks like I've found other uses for them and need to go grab a few more.....

By Gen. George W. Casey, Jr.April 13, 2010
It's great to be out here with you.
I'll tell you what: you're wandering around the lobby at 5:30 and all the people from the East Coast who couldn't sleep are looking for coffee and the gym. There's a lot of energy in this place.
As Sully [General Gordon Sullivan] said, I'm here for a reason. I'm here because what you do is so important to the long-term health of this force and to our ability to hold this force together and put it back in balance over the next several years. I felt it very important for me to come down here and give you the context that you're going to be operating in...and implementing this campaign plan in.
So I'd like to talk to you about three things. One, how we're doing. I'm just finishing up another round of Congressional posture hearings, so I just wanted to give you a sitrep about where we are and what I gave to Congress. Then I want to talk to you about where we're going over the next years, the things we're going to do in the next year that are going to affect us well down the road. Lastly, I want to talk to you about thinking fundamentally differently about how we operate because we will be operating fundamentally differently than we were five or ten years ago. And those of you who are waiting to get back to the good old days -- we're never going back. So we are in a period of continuous and fundamental change, and I think it's important for us all to grasp that as you go forward and implement this campaign plan.
So those are the three things I want to do today. I think I told my Sergeant Major joke already so I'm not even going to try it here today. Okay, maybe I will. [Laughter]
There was a Sergeant Major, an Apache pilot and a General. They're all in this prisoner of war camp. The Commandant came in one day and he got them all together and he said, "I've got bad news. Tomorrow at dawn you'll face a firing squad, but I'm here to grant you your last wish." He looked at the Apache pilot and said, "Major, what's your last request'" He says, "I want to have dinner by candle light with a beautiful woman." He said, "It will be done."
He goes to the General who sucks himself up to his full height of 5'9". [Laughter] And he says, "I want to address the troops one more time." He said, "It will be done."
He goes to the Sergeant Major. He says, "Sergeant Major, what's your last request'" The Sergeant Major says, "I want to be shot an hour before the General starts talking." [Laughter]
I hope you don't feel that way. [Laughter]
Anyway, how are we doing'
Good. I'm going to answer the question for you now: how we're doing' This is what I told Congress:
Back in 2007, I was wrestling with trying to describe the condition of the Army. I was hearing it was broken. I was hearing it was hollow. I was hearing it wasn't that good. And as I went around the Army with Sheila [Casey], looking at things and getting direct feedback from Soldiers, Civilians, Families, it was clear to me that while we weren't broken and hollow, we were stretched. So I came up with the term that we're "out of balance." We're so weighed down by the current demands that we could not do the things that we know we need to do to sustain this force for the long haul and prepare to do other things. So, in 2007, we put ourselves on a plan centered on four imperatives to put ourselves back in balance by '11. I will tell you-and the report I gave to Congress is-we have made great progress toward those objectives, and with the '11 budget that we just presented to the Hill, and the drawdown in Iraq, we are going to come very, very close to meeting all the objectives (we set for ourselves in 2007) by the end of 2011.
Now, the four imperatives: Sustain Soldiers and Families; continue to Prepare Soldiers for success in the current conflict; Reset them effectively when they come home; and continue to Transform for an uncertain future.
You can see that IMCOM has a direct role in each of those.
A quick step back: On the objective of getting back in balance. First is growth. Some of you will recall-in January 2007-we were told to increase the size of the Army by 74,000 -- 65,000 in the Active force, and the rest in the Guard and Reserve. Originally we were going to complete that in 2012. One of the first things I did when I got here was to go to Secretary [of Defense] Gates and asked that we move that forward to 2010. We actually finished it last summer. We finished our growth three years ahead of time. And, I'll tell you, it wasn't a moment too soon with the plus-up in Afghanistan.
Second is dwell-the time Soldiers are at home. I will tell you after almost three years in the job now, it's clear to me that the most important thing we can do to restore balance to the Army is to increase the time the Soldiers are at home. Not just so they can spend more time with their Families-although that's important-but so they can recover themselves. Last year, we completed a scientific study that told us what we had to do: ... it takes two-to-three years to recover from a one-year combat deployment. And when you're churning like we have been at one year out--one year back, you don't have time to fully recover.
We are well on our way to meeting that. And even with the plus-up in Afghanistan, we will get 70 percent of the Active force dwell to two years at home by '11, and 80 percent of the Guard and Reserve to four years at home by the end of '11. The rest will get there in 2012.
I'll tell you: I've been going around the Army, and when you see a unit that's got 18 months at home, it's light years different than having [only] 12 months at home. You can already see the impact. So we're making good progress toward that.
Third is modularity. In 2004, we began converting all 300 brigades in the Army to modular organizations. We're 90 percent done with that already, and we will largely complete it by 2011.
Next is Rebalancing-the next major element of organizational change. We are in the process of moving about 160,000 Soldiers from skills that were very necessary in the Cold War to skills more relevant today. For example, we have stood down about 210 companies, artillery batteries and air defense batteries, and we've stood up a corresponding number of civil affairs, psychological operations, Special Forces, and military police. That rebalancing will continue. We're about two-thirds of the way through that. We'll be done with that by the end of '11.
Taken together, modular organizations and rebalancing is the largest organizational change of the Army since World War II, and we've done it while we've been deploying 150,000 Soldiers over and back to Iraq and Afghanistan repeatedly. I don't have to tell you this, but that's a lot of moving parts. It's been hugely important to transforming ourselves into a relevant Army with the challenges we're facing.
The next subject near and dear to all of you is BRAC. You know what's going on with BRAC better than I do. But what I know from my level: 380,000 Soldiers, Civilians and Families are on the move, and a lot of it is happening in the next two years. And we'll probably publish a new phone book in a couple of years. After that, I'm not sure where everybody's going to be for the next two years. But the effort that has been made is going to allow us (1) to make that change with minimum turbulence, and (2) put us in a position where the quality of the facilities on our installations affected by BRAC will go up exponentially. I don't go on an Army installation these days without seeing cranes. It's hugely impressive. The work that you all have done to synchronize all the moving parts of that is just fantastic.
Lastly, putting ourselves on the rotational model-ARFORGEN, or Army Force Generation. We started this back in 2005; we put a well-thought-out, but conceptual, program on ARFORGEN. Because of demand, we were never able to implement it. Well, we are now getting to the point-with demand coming down in Iraq-where we can see a way ahead and we will publish within the next 60 days-the deployment schedules for '11, '12, and '13. I'm going to show you what that looks like here in a sec[ond]. That will lead folks to have one year out, two years back for the Active force; and one year out, four years back for the Guard and Reserve.
We have a much better chance of implementing that now than we did in 2005 when we first started. So we are moving to line all of our institutional systems up to support that model. I'll show you that in a second.
So how are we doing-by and large' I told Congress that we are making lots of progress. I can see how we'll get to the goals we set out in 2007. We're not out of the woods yet. And a lot of the things ... the outputs ... the outcomes for the last 8.5 years at war are going to be with us for a while. So just because we meet our goals in '11 doesn't mean that everything is going to be hunky dory. We're still going to be dealing with the challenges of the last 8.5 years of warfare for some time to come.
That's my status report to you. For the first time since I got here, I can see how we can get to the objectives that we've set for ourselves in '11. The money is there in the '11 budget, and it's a matter of executing now. We'll get to a much better place by the end of FY11 than we were in 2007.
Now-Where are we going'
... We're getting ready to start the '12-'17 program. And so I said to myself, "Okay, in the broad scheme of things, where are we'" I just told you that I can see us getting back in balance by '11. We'll get close to meeting our objectives. So as I thought about it I said, "Okay, we need to go beyond that now. We need to figure out what kind of Army a 21st Century Army really is." So there's going to be a lot of intellectual work going on here as first we consolidate what we've done in the last seven years. You don't take on organizational and institutional change like we have for the last seven years and not have a few loose ends that aren't tied up. We've got to consolidate all that. And we've got to make an assessment of where that is and bring in the lessons of 8.5 years of war.
If you think about it, the intellectual underpinnings of the modular force were done in 2002 and 2003. We know a heck of a lot more about the environments we're operating in today. So we need to bring that in.
Then, we need to refine this great Army. I say "refine" rather than "adapt." We're in pretty good shape, but we all know there are things we could do differently. So consolidate, assess and refine: those are the three things I see going on with the force for the rest of this year as we build the '12-'17 program.
Now I'm going to put up a slide here to show you the calendar year '10 objectives that the Secretary [McHugh] and I issued back in January to begin to give you some context.
First slide: [This is about] support[ing] the accomplishment of our strategic objectives in Iraq and Afghanistan. No matter what we do, we will organize, train and equip our Soldiers for success in the current conflicts, and we will be good stewards of the resources as we drawdown in Iraq. And for those of you who have the opportunity to go to Kuwait, what 3rd Army is doing over there to capture the equipment and materiel that's coming out of Iraq and get it back into the force is remarkable. It will have a huge impact. But that remains our number one priority.
Secondly, continue the efforts to restore balance. We're in the execute mode on that. The money's in the budget, and we just have to deliver. And again, as you know better than I, it's not easy, but we'll get where we need to get by the end of '11.
Third, we have to continue to sustain our Soldiers and Families and Civilians. This is really the core of what you all are doing.
As I look at this, the key elements for me are to continue to improve on the delivery of services in the Army Family Covenant, improve what we're doing for wounded Soldiers and their Families, improve what we're doing for Surviving spouses and Families, and then work hard on the resilience programs. The two [programs] that strike me the most are the Army's program for risk reduction and suicide prevention, and Comprehensive Soldier Fitness.
How many of you have heard about the Comprehensive Soldier Fitness program that we have' Not bad. For the rest of you, I encourage you to go on-line [www.army.mil/csf]. The Comprehensive Soldier Fitness program is designed to get ahead of the curve on [building resiliency to enhance performance]... It's designed to give all of our Soldiers, Civilians and Family members the skills they need to be more resilient, [and] to deal with the challenges ahead. Look, we've been at war for 8.5 years. We're going to be deploying large numbers of Soldiers to combat for another decade. That's not a political judgment, that's just the reality that we're preparing ourselves to do. So we have to give our Soldiers and Families and Civilians the skills they need.
[There are] four key elements to the program. There's an on-line survey that you can take and it will give you an assessment of your psychological strengths.
Second, you can connect off those surveys into self-help modules. The ones for Soldiers and Families are on-line; the ones for Civilians will be on-line ready this spring.
Third, master resilience trainers: our goal is to have a master resilience trainer in every battalion-sized unit by the end of this year, and to have facilitators at every installation by this fall. [The Master Resilience Trainer course is] ... a ten-day course. It's up at the University of Pennsylvania. We have over 800 Sergeants and Civilians and Family members who have been through that course. If you don't understand this, I ask you to get one of those people who have been in the course and get them in and talk to them. It's hugely powerful. But really, as I said, you are at the heart of sustaining Soldiers, Families and Civilians and we're not out of the woods on this and we need to keep doing what we've been doing and improving.
[The fourth element is mandatory resilience training at every Army school.]
... [Now, I want to talk with you about the fourth objective-] establish[ing] an integrated management system for the Army. A lot of our folks think they're warfighters and they don't want to talk about business. Well, IMCOM's a $13 billion business that supports warfighters. So you can be both. That's what I've been working on with the general officers since February of 2008 where I've been sending them to business school down at the University of North Carolina.
But the fact of the matter is, we have to get better at managing our money and our resources. If we don't, we're not going to be able to sustain our Soldiers and Families and Civilians the way that we know we have to. I'm going to talk a little bit about that as I get to the end of the presentation.
Fifth, one of the things we know about operating in a 21st Century security environment is that these environments are hugely complex. Because of the complexity, leaders with vision and character have to fight their way through the confusion and the complexity and make the organization successful.
So we have to implement the strategy that we have been working on here for about two years. Training and Doctrine Command has the lead on that. It is for Soldiers and it is for Civilians. I think we all agree that our leader development program for Civilians is the one that needs the most work, and it's the one that I intend to move the furthest here over the next couple of years.
Lastly, we want to refine the Army of the 21st Century. To go back, as I said, and consolidate, assess, and then take a hard look at how we need to refine what it is we're doing.
Let me show you what that Army of the 21st Century looks like. Put up the next slide.
This is what we're building-a versatile mix of tailorable and networked organizations operating on a rotational cycle. Why' Because there are three fundamental things we have to do in the next decade:
One, we have to continue to provide a sustained pool of trained and ready forces for full spectrum operations.
Second, we have to build the capability to hedge against the unexpected. We don't have that now. If something happened someplace else in the world that required a large commitment of land forces, we'd have to say, "okay, all you guys in Iraq and Afghanistan, hold what you've got. All you folks who think you're going, start training for something else, and when you're ready we'll send you." That's not a good position to be in so we have to build that capability.
The last thing: we have to be able to do both of those things on a tempo that is predictable and sustainable for our force. We're an all-volunteer force.
If you'd have asked me five years ago if we could have sustained one year out, one year back for five years, I would have said no way. What this force has done is remarkable. But we're going to be doing this for another decade or so. So we have to get this force on a sustainable rotational model.
That's what we're doing. And as we look to refine the 21st Century Army, we're going to look at our mix. Do we have the right kinds of heavies, lights, Strykers, Special Operation Forces, and enabling forces.
Second, organizations: We're going to go back and look at the modular organizations. Did we get it right' Everybody out there knows two or three things they can do to make a modular organization better. We've got to go back and look at that.
Three: we've got to get the network connected, and we've got to have one network that goes from garrison into the operating environment and back-seamlessly. We're a long way from there.
Then we've got to put ourselves on the rotational cycle. And once we get all that done, we have to figure out an affordable and achievable modernization strategy for that force. Those are the five key elements that we will be working toward as we refine this Army of the 21st Century.
Now, I mentioned earlier that we're going to publish in the next 60 days or so the deployment cycles for '11, '12 and '13. Here's what they're going to look like. Put up the next slide.
This is what they say in Washington: this is a busy slide. That's what everybody who comes into my office says. This is a busy slide. But it's the ARFORGEN cycle-reset, trained and ready, and available. If you put the active Army on a one to two cycle, (and a one to four for the Guard and Reserve), then we will organize ourselves into three force pools. If you go down to the bottom right [of the slide], you see the output in each of those force pools: a corps headquarters; five division headquarters, one or two are Guard; 20 brigade combat teams, three or four are Guard; and about 90,000 enablers (and about half of those are Guard and Reserve). That is not an insignificant force. It doesn't quite meet current demands at a one to two cycle. But, we basically have three of those in the Guard and Reserve because they're flowing through at different rates. You see they're off to the bottom left [of the slide].
But that is what we're building toward. I expect that in '11, we'll get about an 85 percent match; and I think by '12 we'll have a 90-plus percent match, and that's something we have been unable to do to this point, and it puts us on a sustainable cycle of one to two for the near term.
Now, I believe that one year out, three years back for the Active force; one year out, five years back, is necessary to sustain us for the long haul, but we've got to get here first. Our goal, as I said, to get about an 85 percent match on this in '11, and then to get over 90 percent by '12.
As you look at this I would hope that you are asking, "what does that mean to my installation' What does that mean to us'"
One of the things it means to you is you're going to have a substantial number of forces deployed from your installation for a long time. That's going to be the reality. That's the new reality. And you're not going to have everybody home. So we have to set up our institutions on the installations to support that. Not only do we have to set up our institutions up to support that, but we have to do it in a way that increases the effectiveness of our ability to support that, and the efficiency to enable us to get better value for our resources.
That means, we are going to have to have institutional adaptation. All of our institutions are not set up to support that model. They're set up to support a garrison- based Army. And we have been doing what all of our institutions do. We've been making incremental change over time. And what happens is that the large organizations make incremental change, thinking they're making fundamental change until they realize that what they're facing is really fundamentally different than what they started with. So, they need to do something fundamentally different.
The three key elements of adapting the Army as an institutions are to adapt our policies, programs, and systems to support an Army operating on that model. And they're different. I have a couple of examples for you.
You all know that when a brigade gets ready to deploy there's usually about 150 to 200 folks who don't have enough time left on their contract to deploy with the brigade, right' Since they've only got about six months left, you can't send them someplace else.
So if you walk it back to the beginning, we recruited those Soldiers on a contract that didn't match that cycle. We have the capability to change that.
Another example is the school system. The school system was set up because it was efficient to run the school system on that cycle. Until the school system is tied to the effort to produce leaders to go into that model, we're never going to make it.
So what I'm trying to do is to generate a little institutional action in your heads. We need to be thinking over the course of this week how do we do that.
The second key element of institutional adaptation is adopting an enterprise approach. I'm sure you heard a lot about that. A couple of years ago-when we started talking about it at the Army Staff-you could tell this was something new. We didn't really understand it, but every [briefing] slide had "enterprise" on it. [Laughter]. What we have found-and this is not unique to the Army-is that we have a lot of silos in the Army. Every large institution has silos. Because we're not a "for profit" organization, the incentives within those silos are to get more resources for the silos. Let's be honest. That's the reality. But we had no good way of looking across the silos to figure out what gives us the most value for our money. As a result, we're getting huge amounts of money and people are still short [of resources].
If I asked how many installations out there have buglers, you'd all raise your hand, right' Because you're generating requirements that aren't connected to resources. You're just saying this is what I need. We are working toward building an enterprise approach that causes us to be more effective and to be more efficient, and we have to do that.
The third element of that is we have to eliminate redundancies. This is a magnificent Army. I don't worry about people not doing something. I worry about everybody doing the same thing and nobody else knowing about it. I see it all the time.
When we build requirements, what do we do' We do a gap analysis. Has anybody ever done redundancy analysis' If we don't get the requirements process fixed, we're going to price ourselves out of existence.
Put up the last slide.
I made this slide in 2007. It's a slide that replicates the Army budget. If you look at 2001 over there in the corner, that was the Army budget. It was about $75 billion. Remember that Army' It was a pretty fine Army; it was well-equipped, well-trained, and well-supported. The budget [request] we just sent to the Hill was $225 billion...If you look at the light blue lines, the light blue lines are what I projected. The dark blue lines are what we actually got. So what that chart is telling you is that-over a four year period-the Army will get almost a trillion dollars - - a quarter of a trillion bucks a year. I have people walking into my office saying, "Chief, in this time of constrained resources." [Laughter]. "Forgive me. What are you talking about'"
But we're all generating requirements in silos and since those demands can't be met, we're short. It's because we're not pushing ourselves to make big value-based decisions here. The Army budget is larger than the entire defense budget of China and Russia combined. It can't be sustained.
It may not come down as fast as I said, but that's the reality.
Now here's the analogy I use. How many out there have two battalions in a motor pool. Do you think the concertina you put down at the motor pool, and you give the guards some radios and big sticks, walking around, trying to keep the other guy from ripping you off, and it's your own guys that are ripping you off inside. [Laughter]. All of a sudden one day the ADC comes down and says, "Hey, good news. The new motor pool's finished. You can move out." So everybody moves out.
So what happens to the one that stays' They spread out, right' Every clerk has his own office. The motor sergeant has his own office. There are three bays per company. Life's pretty good. Then a year later the same ADC comes back and says, "Hey, we've got a new unit moving on the post. We've got to put another battalion back in the motor pool. No way." [Laughter]. "There's no way. It's physically impossible to put two battalions in that motor pool." [Laughter].
We've got another battalion coming into our motor pool, troops. And we have to think about the requirements, and we have to think about how to get the most value for our money. And as we execute this campaign plan, this is critical to the long term health of the Army. Why' Because when budgets come down the Chief has only one recourse. We don't have big aircraft carriers. We don't have bomber or satellite programs. All we can do is take down force structure. So if we can't figure out how to spend our money more efficiently, we're going to disassemble the Army that we have built over the last seven years. That's why I'm talking to you about effectiveness and efficiency and value.
Okay' You can take that slide off.
On that happy note, I'll be happy to take questions.

The place has NO BUSINESS to harrass the people in his life over a d**n title loan. If I was him I WOULDN'T PAY THEM. So there!
Things happen to all of us. People fall on hard times. I am not sure where you've been "Jim" (Probably UNDER A ROCK WHERE YOU SHOULD RETURN) but we just came out of a FREAKING RECESSION!
I had to break a lease on my apartment due to a family emergency out of state and the apartment community charged me for the lease breakage but it was at an inflated amount which I disputed. Long story short, it ended up going to collections and the collection company started harrassing my elderly parents who lived out of state and who were used on the lease as my "EMERGENCY CONTACTS". The collection agency would call and hang up over and over and over.
My mother got AT&T to trace the calls as the agency was blocking their number and it traced back to the agency Pro-Collect in Dallas, TX. There was no way they could deny they were calling once AT&T pulled the numbers even though up until then they were trying to. (THAT WASN'T YOU NOW JIM CALLING FROM THERE WAS IT?).
I filed a formal state complaint and they stopped but not after lying like they had never called my mom WHEN MY MOTHER HAD THE PHONE RECORDS TO PROVE IT! lol!
Sir, If I was you I would send a cease and desist letter to the company to refrain from calling all of my friends and family and you may have to send one for everyone you know they have obtained the contact information for. Sounds like a desperate company for sure to do that. Wow. But I've heard of Collection agencies trying to facebook friend people just to harrass their family and friends as well. Wow. Desperate JERKS. They deserve to go out of business.
