Part 1: Jurgen Klinsmann Press Conference after winning Gold Cup 2013

Poland made a stunning start to the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign after thrashing Gibraltar 7-0 with Robert Lewandowski being the pick of the bunch. The opposition were playing at home, but Poland came into the match as favourites due to the overwhelming strength of this professional team. In contrast, Gibraltar were able to call upon only two players who have been playing as professionals. They included Preston North End's Scott Wiseman and Israeli side Bnei Yehuda's Liam Walker. The gulf in quality showed throughout the encounter, as Poland comfortably brushed aside the opponents.
However, Poland coach Adam Nawalka will be aware that far greater opposition await them in this qualifying campaign. They start with a tough match against Germany at home, while they are up against Scotland three days later in October. These two home games will go a long way into determining the outcome of this qualifying campaign. Getting anything more than four points will be seen as a huge success for the Polish team, who have not been a major fixture at international tournaments of late. The presence of Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski will be a major boost for Poland and he did not disappoint in the opening qualification match after scoring four goals.
All of his goals came in the second half, while Grosicki helped himself to a brace in the match. Szukala scored the other goal in this comprehensive victory. After a string of impressive performances with Arsenal at the start of the season, Wojciech Szczesny was in goal for the Polish and this saw Artur Boruc dropping to the bench. The victory against Gibraltar was far more important considering that one of their main rivals for the qualifying positions, Scotland, lost in the opening match. Three teams have taken a win from the opening round of fixtures. They include Germany and Republic of Ireland aside from Poland.

The USA team reached the round of 16 which was far more than what was expected. The American side was pitted in a difficult group where they had to play against: Ghana, Portugal and Germany. Getting past the group stages of the 2014 World Cup was a tough task to accomplish but the team of Jurgen Klinsmann managed to do it as they secured the 2nd place of group G with 4 points which was the same amount of points that Portugal had but USA had better goal difference.
When the 2014 edition of the World Cup was over, Jurgen Klinsmann received a mix of negative and positive feedback towards the decisions he made during the already concluded World Cup.
Landon Donovan was surprisingly left out of the squad and the veteran attacker did not hesitate in letting his voice be heard as he went on saying that Klinsmann got the tactics all wrong.
Donovan spoke to the media a day after USA was eliminated from the World Cup as he praised the work that his colleagues made throughout the entire tournament but criticized the formations and playing style that Jurgen Klinsmann opted to go with.
"I think we're all disappointed in what happened yesterday. I think the most disappointing is we didn't seem like we gave it a real effort, from a tactical standpoint. I thought the guys did everything they could, they did everything that was asked of them, but I don't think we were set up to succeed yesterday, and that was tough to watch."
"It's a results-oriented business, and so, results-wise, you can hold your head high. But, if you really look at the performances, there were some good performances by guys, some not-so-good performances by guys. As a whole, I think tactically, the team was not set up to succeed.
Despite receiving negative feedback from Landon Donovan, the American squad managed to get past the group rounds of the World Cup which was something that not many people were expecting and recognized figures such as Diego Simeone and Pep Guardiola praised the work of Jurgen Klinsmann as they stated that the German coach has '' revolutionized football in the United States''.

A 2-1 defeat against Belgium saw United States being eliminated from the 2014 World Cup but the manager of the squad, Jurgen Klinsmann has already outlined some of his plans for the years to come as the German tactician revealed details about how he is planning to reshape the team.
During the World Cup, United States locked horns against Portugal, Belgium, Ghana and Germany and the American team conceded goals in every single match but nonetheless one of the standout performers of the entire competition was Tim Howard.
Tim Howard made superb performances in every match as he tried to keep his team fighting till the very end and not concede goals in the early stages of any game. During the last match of the World Cup that USA played, Him Howard broke the record for most saves in a World Cup match as he made 16 saves throughout the entire match and this is just evidence of how important and influential the veteran shot-stopper was for his squad.
However, at his 35 years of age Tim Howard has already stated that he is considering retiring from playing at the international scene and Jurgen Klinsmann revealed his plans of allowing younger players on stepping up and representing USA.
"A good thing about this next year is that we kind of have the opportunity to see a lot of young players coming to our platform, coming to the senior team. We can give them time to show where they are up to right now. The experienced players, or the older players, we can tell them for the next couple of months: 'Go play in your club environment, we know you inside out anyway, we know what you bring to the table'. But right now maybe there's time for the next couple of friendlies that come up and over the next year that we want to see the young players grow and see how they can make it.'"
The German manager of USA also went on saying that in order to recognize a huge improvement in the squad, it will take a long time but he believes that everything is going the right direction.

United States Men's National Team boss Jurgen Klinsmann has told his players they will be playing for glory, fame and fortune at the World Cup.
Except for a few exceptions, the USMNT are one of those low key teams in the World Cup who do not have much to expect from the showpiece event of the beautiful game but the former World Cup winner has said this is where the players need to perform if they want to sky rocket their careers to the stratosphere.
The German has told the players that they can put the top clubs on notice by their performance in the World Cup.
Klinsmann told the media that this is the stage for the players where they can prove they are ready to take their careers to the next level or even higher than that. He went on to add that there is no better event than the World Cup and whoever steps on to the pitch, should embrace this opportunity, give it a smile and go for it.
Jurgen Klinsmann knows a thing or two about going for glory at the biggest stage of them all when he won the World Cup with West Germany back at Italia '90.
There have been countless instances where players secure big money moves – often for extremely inflated values – on the back of their performances at the World Cup and the former Bayern Munich boss wants his players to put them on the market with a strong run in the tournament.
Not many people expect the USMNT to get out of the Group of Death, Group G, which features the likes of Ghana, Germany and Portugal but Jurgen Klinsmann wouldn't mind as long as the team can give a good account of themselves and go out with a big bang.

Defensive lineman was entering final year of deal Brad Biggs
Maybe the guy they refer to as the Cowboy will hang around the San Francisco 49ers just a little bit longer.
Veteran defensive lineman Justin Smith was poised to enter the final year of his contract but he signed a two-year extension on Tuesday that has him inked through 2015.
Smith, who has been selected to the previous four Pro Bowls, was due to earn $7.5 million this season. So, it's possible the Niners worked to spread some of that money out. It was the final year of a $45 million, six-year contract Smith signed to come over from the Cincinnati Bengals in 2008, according to Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury News.
Smith's streak of 185 consecutive starts was snapped last season when he suffered a partially torn triceps.
"You realize it can be taken from you at any time," Smith said of the game, per Inman. "I hadn't been hurt for 12 years prior. You'd look at guys who got hurt and kind of say, 'Come on.' But you see what that side of it's like and what those guys are going through. I'm one year at a time and excited to be here on this team.
"Let's see what we can do."

If they were at full strength and lost this game, I would be right there with you.
Can you imagine if the Jets played without Slauson, Moore, Landry and Bell?
Injuries are a fact of life in the NFL. No excuses.
Pats D is SURPRISED with the Turnover, they have to run on the field.
Jets have been tearing them a new one on 1st down throws the whole 2nd half, 2:01 on the clock!
I can't believe that the 1st thing to come into Tony & Rex head wasn't "WE NEED TO GET A 1st DOWN!" because that 1 second is meaningless to us & means EVERYTHING TO THEM!
I was with a room full of Pats fans & I'm like "throw the ball".
How many games have you seen similar time wise where you DON"T want to throw the ball because you don't want to stop the clock?
This situation was the total opposite, it was TAILOR MADE for playaction pass on 1st down.
I hate to say it but Rex can say all he wants that they didn't play to lose & maybe in their minds thats true but the real truth is that in all the excitement recovering the fumble, no one realized immediately (or used their head), that it was like a free shot at taking a chance with the pass without having an effect on the clock & whether it stopped or not.
It was set up perfectly!
Now if they had 2:00 warning & they threw it you can always 2nd guess it but with 2:01, throwing was the play.

We have no excuses for last Sunday. The win was there for the taking and we gave the Pats a gift.
Here is the whole article I would have put link the the WSJ requires users to pay to see the content
Rex Ryan has proven to be a defensive maestro during his Jets tenurethat is, until his defense is trying to close out a game in the final minutes.
Since Ryan was hired in 2009, the Jets have allowed opponents to score on 40% of drives when they have the ball trailing by one score in the final three minutesincluding Sunday's crushing overtime loss in Foxborough against the Patriots. The NFL average is 30%. And only three defenses have fared worse in these situations: Dallas (52.9%), Washington (42.1%) and the Giants (42.1%).
Unlike their MetLife Stadium co-tenants, however, the Jets do not have the luxury of having Captain Comeback, Eli Manning, pulling games back out of the fire after the defense burns the lead, as he did again on Sunday. So the Jets lost for the fifth time in 18 tries under Ryan despite a late lead.
Ryan has tried various defensive approaches. On Sunday, he replaced blitzers with more men in coverage, a departure from his typically more aggressive, blitz-oriented approach. New England's Tom Brady used the extra time he was given to calmly complete three quick passes for 47 yards, setting up the 43-yard, game-tying field goal that sent the game into overtime.
What's most frustrating is that the Jets held Brady in check most of the day, limiting him to just 164 passing yards (on 29 attempts) in the first 58-plus minutes. But that's nothing new for this defense. Ryan's Jets are second best since 2009 in defensive efficiency (yards per play) and fifth best in preventing points. And in all other scenarios besides holding a late lead, they've allowed the opponent to score on just 26.1% of possessions (171 of 656). So clearly, the Jets save their worst moments on defense only for when it matters most.
when you play a soft D inside the last 2 minutes, ya no **** they are going to move down the field quick.
The other three teams worse than us have had DWare, JPP/Osi/Tuck, and Orakpo...
I think this is more about Rex playing a Mangini style defense with the game on the line, more than its about lack of a true pass rusher.

Holiday Shopping the Easy Way
November 18th, 2014 | Jarrod Fresquez
This informative article has been composed to save you cash, gasoline, and time by means of your holiday shopping.
I've been shopping for a long time. (Clothes being my forte) I've been to many a mall at 8:30pm during the holiday season while my feet pain and perspiration ran down my forehead, waiting in line. The idea of carrying bags, and cartons from one shop to another in search of the present that is appropriate, in the correct cost, for the perfect man, is nothing short of terrifying.
Think for a second about it. How does the typical man store? There are just two primary ways. By impulse buying, or by making a list and following it. When you do the impulse buying thing, you set your god given memory abilities to the evaluation that is real. You are outside driving back home from work, or it is your running around for one motive, or another as well as the weekend. You see a shop, you say, "I've sufficient cash to get a few of these presents out of the way. You pull in the parking lot and from that minute on your own time is gone, your body is about to be worked out if your going to get the present your looking for and you do not even understand. You walk around expecting you will see the present for the perfect man, in the correct cost. All the best! You may have some time left in your day if a movie works out to catch it afterward. There's no promise of succeeding.
Let us look in the other manner. You organize your time as well as your list. First of all it must be a day off, and I do mean the entire day off. You've got to go off your list and think about who gets what and how much you want to spend once you have intended to shop on a particular day. You are prepared. It is away to the mall or to one of the superstores that are all in one. You've got an excellent strategy but each gift going to take who knows how much you're going to spend on it, how much time. Best case scenario you get all your presents, for all of the right folks in the costs you anticipated. Imagine what? Bags and boxes that arewhat! If you did get everything, you wanted, you need to get what to the vehicle when you get home and unpack the auto. Not to mention the gasoline cash as well as the food expense of the mall to maintain up your energy.
Don't have any anxiety……there's a better method!
Internet Shopping is it!!!!!!!!
Almost all you can find at a superstore or a mall may be bought on line at a competitive cost with simple delivery. Your just added expense is shipping and handling, and the shipping and handling cost will likely be much less in relation to the amount of gasoline to the mall and something to eat while you were there when you get all of the things you want from one online store.
Shop at Home – the Internet makes it Easy and Possible
August 6th, 2014 | Jarrod Fresquez
Can you like shopping? You might be amazed to find out enormous bunch in the parking malls. Even you might believe whether public has every man of the world in the mall or swollen like anything? You may have found quite hard to get a great parking place. I'm wondering whether nobody understands about store in the home.
Would you understand Internet provides innumerable conveniences including store in the house to us? Do not believe you can have amazing buys just at local shopping mall or outlet stores. The Internet world supplies these whole things in a tap of a mouse to you.
The majority people understand that shopping is a matter that is womanly. My children want to shop with my wife. My kids often peep to the neighborhood shops on a regular basis. My shopping story's more depressing element is I have a teenaged daughter and an eight-year-old daughter at the same time.
I'm not fearful of accessories and unneeded clothing but only infuriated with all the bunches. My easy remedy with this issue that is complicated would be to shop in the home. Does not anyone understand that your computer is a gateway to the whole world? Shopping malls and all of the outlet stores can be reachable through online. You should shop at home if you liked to remove this crazy feeling usually detected in malls.
You are missing something, for those who have not peeped into cyberspace. Store at home's enormous benefit is the cost. That wedding ring you desire is likely half the cost online. Walking stick or your precious portrait may be acquired at 30% reduction in the proper site. Then do shopping if you would like to save few dollars on shopping.
Why would you like to pay few hundred dollars, when you will get the same thing for 70 dollars? I believe this is practical. My partner claimed that she ought to see clothing in person and shoes so that you can attempt them on before buying. I gave an alternative that was good for my spouse. It's possible for you to look at those things and shop the same thing through Internet from the same shops. I made this as my custom- store in the home. Initially younger daughter and my teenaged daughter repelled my suggestion of shopping. Now in addition they feel comfort of the store at home.
Compulsive Shopping
May 8th, 2014 | Jarrod Fresquez
Individuals participate in spending on occasion or compulsive purchasing, especially at Christmastime when they get caught right up in pressure or the exhilaration of purchasing. Some may grow a serious issue while most folks keep their spending in check. Most people purchase a lot more than they want and many of it they won't ever use. It occasionally results in a large number of euros of debt. This is named compulsive shopping or oniomania.
In a society that thrives on materialism, compulsive shopping could be treated as a joke and is often overlooked as a difficulty. Compulsive shoppers in many cases are dismissed as being fiscally reckless. Compulsive shopping may be devastating not only financially, but also psychologically and emotionally.
Most mental health professionals don't consider compulsive shopping a habit since there's no physical dependence as with booze or substances, but monomaniacs do exhibit addictive behavior. High percents of shopaholics are former junkies or junkies of actions or other materials including booze and drugs. A large proportion of compulsive shoppers is adult females although oniomania can change either sex. Those which have been done suggest that as much as 10% of the adult citizenry display propensities towards compulsive shopping, although there have been few studies done on compulsive shopping.
Based on Catalano and Sonenberg (1993) (Consuming Passions: Help For Compulsive Shoppers, New Harbinger Publications, California) a large quantity of energy, both psychic and physical is expended by compulsive shoppers that might be channelled into a fulfilling and rewarding interest. "The actual energy cost for compulsive shoppers comes about stress. Facing the music after a shopping binge is draining, although preparation shopping errands may be pleasure. Facing furious lenders is frightening; facing furious partner or your dwindling bankbook is humiliating. When shopping customs involve lying about and concealing purchases, the mental, physical, and psychological cost goes up."
Compulsive shopping commonly happens in cycles. Apathy melancholy or psychological distress for example a bereavement or break up of a relationship may set off an urge to store. Shopping gives shopaholics a kind of euphoria, exhilaration and "high". They're very vulnerable to marketing and certainly will purchase things to make them feel protected, appealing, or more strong. There's a sense of disappointment later, followed by guilt over the boost in debt or the squandered cash. This results in melancholy, which can set off another episode of compulsive purchasing.
My Holiday Shopping Is Done – Use My Tips for a Stress-Free Holiday
January 9th, 2014 | Jarrod Fresquez
Yes I have crossed off every last man on my Christmas shopping list before Halloween. Mom, Granny, Dad, brother Steve, brother Jason, children, nieces, nephews bus drivers, schoolteachers as well as the mailman. I have stockpiled hostess gifts, stocking a number of arbitrary presents for those surprise exchanges that pop up every vacation and endures. Everything wrapped and labeled. While the remainder of the world scrambles to amass ratchet sets, come December, I will be relaxing in a hot bath that has a great novel, bezel set diamond studs Tickle Me Elmo as well as the most recent.
Why not join me? From having your holiday shopping out of the way early, aside from the smug satisfaction you will love, you will get to actually value the celebrations, the cookie baking, the egg nog, the mistletoe the relatives–without remorse.
So I do it? With just a little-advanced planning. You will get your Christmas shopping also done , should you follow my lead. Here are my secrets:
Christmas shopping tips that are nine (Hanukkah shopping suggestions also) to make the holidays easier:
Make a list. A little-advanced planning goes quite a ways. Make a list, only like you do when you visit the supermarket. This fashion in which you will remain focused and complete the job quick. Before you shop, write down any thoughts you've in mind predicated on individual preferences, hobbies, etc. and who you should get for, what you want to spend Believe: Did they mention an excellent novel they would like to read? A piece of jewelry they specially admire? A picture they would like to see? An item of clothing they enjoy? A tool they'd to have? A play that seemed intriguing? Search for present finders in the event you are stumped. Many popular web sites have unique vacation present sets broken down by sex, age, flavors, cost, etc. Think back to the memorable gifts you have received, if you would like to give something really memorable. My favorites have been a basket full of small things I adore, like novels, lotions, bath stuff, etc.; a subscription to the New York Times daily crossword puzzle online; a three-course dinner prepared with all my favourite foods, and a stunning black baroque pearl bracelet. Believe back to presents you have given that have been a success. What were they? Who loved them?
Shop. This is the very best point of all. Holiday shopping was a chore I feared I got a computer. It became a wind. Doing your Christmas shopping online saves time, cash (with gasoline prices being what they're) and legwork. Very best of all you do not even need to escape from your pajamas. I am able to breeze through my whole list in under an hour; I've everything within a week, and it is delivered to my door. And do not worry about security: Shopping online is safer than shopping in shops. Much more credit card numbers are stolen in your presence by servers, clerks, etc. than are stolen by hackers and phishers.
Online Shopping – The Preferred Way To Shop
November 18th, 2013 | Jarrod Fresquez
Internet shopping supplies many benefits to consumers. Many have found the benefits of online shopping and, therefore, favor to utilize this mode of shopping to purchase their goods. This clarifies why there's a growing amount of people using. Sometimes, besides having the capability to acquire their goods faster through shopping online, they can get their goods at costs lower than those provided by real retail stores.
Among the advantages of internet, shopping is it helps the consumer saves time. This satisfies the present lifestyle of the majority of folks who have trouble locating time doing all their shopping at shops that are actual and are quite active. They can reduce their traveling time with online shopping. Moreover, in the event the merchandise the need is unavailable in the actual shop, they must visit a different shop to locate it. More time is required to travel to another shop, should this happen. Some goods that must be purchased may take weeks to be delivered to the consumer's house, to add to the disappointment. All these annoyance may be prevented with internet shopping. It gives a more rapid method of shopping to the consumer. Simply by browsing through the world wide web, the consumers can locate the things that they need very fast and may choose to download specific web pages they find helpful and insightful. Online stores can provide delivery and quicker service. Consumers can get their products with minimum of time and hassle.
Another advantage of internet shopping is it helps the consumer saves cash. Consumers save on traveling prices, as they don't have to travel to the actual shop to purchase the merchandise. Moreover, consumers might purchase their products at lower costs than those offered by the actual retail stores. Many online stores provide motivators and excellent reductions to online buyers. As online stores run with no actual shopfront, the sellers are able to save on operating costs and therefore can offer consumers lower prices for their goods.

Kate Hudson Is Jimmy Fallon's Most Formidable Box of Lies Competitor Yet
Don't let Kate Hudson's giggling and big smiles fool you. This is a great, great Box of Lies competitor who sits before you. On last night's 'Tonight Show,' Hudson and host Jimmy Fallon faced off for another round of Box of Lies, a game that basically hinges on a guest's ability to lie effectively.
Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Cast Takes Over 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'
There's this movie -- just a space opera in the Marvel Cinematic Universe -- that's coming out next week: 'Guardians of the Galaxy.' Maybe you've heard of it. Late-night talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel is probably counting on that, because he basically let the cast of the film, including Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel, run the show on last night's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live.'
Jimmy Fallon Finds His Unlikely Doppelgänger in Musician Genya Ravan
'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon often turns to his loyal fans to find and submit strange stuff, especially when it comes to his always-amusing 'Screengrabs' segment. Yet, crammed between those terrible stock photos and awkward weather forecast emoticons, this week's 'Screengrabs' segment packs a special punch.
Jimmy Kimmel and Susan Sarandon Make Their Own Modern 'Thelma & Louise' Selfie
Although we may never know when, where or why the first "selfie" was taken, the iconic on-screen selfie from 'Thelma & Louise' is a good place to start, at least when it comes to cinematic selfies. Th
Andy Serkis Improvises a Conversation Between Gollum and Caesar the Ape on Conan
On last night's 'Conan,' host Conan O'Brien and Andy Serkis talked quite a bit about some of his best roles, which Serkis then gleefully imitated for the entire crowd. Ever wonder what it would sound like if Gollum and Caesar the ape had a chat? Wonder no more.
Ice-T Shows 'Conan' His Call of Duty Dick Dance
Ice-T is a serious dude. He's serious about music, movies, 'Law and Order,' and also video games, particularly online shooting games, like Call of Duty. But the best part? He does not have a problem telling anyone -- even Conan O'Brien -- to just move out of his damn way when he and his "clan" come through (admittedly, they do have a pretty cool name, which Ice is not afraid to share).
Jenny Slate's Accidental Anti-Drug Public Service Announcement
College is a time of exploration, adventure and self-discovery. For some people, that means "doing drugs." Even your new best friend Jenny Slate, star of this summer's charming and daring 'Obvious Child,' turned to marijuana during her college years, and the results were pretty mixed, as she shared with Seth Meyers on last night's 'Late Night.'
Pitbull vs. Fallon in Giant Duff Beer Pong Game
Jimmy Fallon's love for turning basic drinking games into outsized (often, quite literally) versions of themselves is well documented, but the 'Tonight Show' host just might have reached the apex of his drinking game adoration when he challenged Pitbull (Mr. Worldwide, please) to a round of Giant Duff Beer Pong. Wait, why Duff? Because Fallon and his show have been camped out at Universal Studios in Orlando all week, and yes, this game is all about Duff Beer, the favorite fictional beer of 'The Simpsons.'
'Harry Potter' Trivia Is Not These Parents' Strong Suit
'The Tonight Show' is down in Orlando for the week, and although the 'Harry Potter' theme park they overtook is packed with families, it's really for the kids, because it doesn't seem as if any of the parents in attendance have ever even picked up a book. Need proof? Jimmy Fallon sent out a writer to quiz some park-goers (no kids!) about some basic 'Potter' trivia, and the results were kind of dismal.
Jason Momoa on Aquaman in 'Batman v Superman,' His Gruesome 'Game of Thrones' Death
Jason Momoa is tight-lipped. Sure, the former 'Game of Thrones' and future 'Batman v Superman' star is happy to be on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' to chat it up with professed big fan Jimmy Kimmel, but he's not going to let anything slip about the worst kept secret in Hollywood right now -- that he's playing Aquaman in the next major DC comic book movie. Admittedly, though, he sure looks nervous about it.

Kenya which we have dubbed "KiliKenya challenge"in Oct and November to raise more money for our projects.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Whilst primary school in Kenya is free, secondary school is not,and so even the most promising & bright kids from poor background can miss out on secondary school.Our aim is to provide sustainable support to these kids to take them through to the end of secondary school and beyond.We are currently raising money for next year's fees,ensuring that we grow in a way that does not let any of our kids down in the future.We are currently supporting 25 kids,but there are many more that need our help.
How will this project solve this problem?
The additional funding will give more kids an opportunity to access education,provide them with a different outlook on what their lives may have on offer for them. This will open up an opportunity, that otherwise would remain inaccessible.
Potential Long Term Impact
The project aims at giving the children from disadvantaged back ground a right to education, giving them an opportunity to reach to their full potential.
Funding Information
Total Funding Received to Date: $7,279
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $7,721

Defense Management:
Fully Developed Management Framework Needed to Guide Air Force Future Total Force Efforts
GAO-06-232: Published: Jan 31, 2006. Publicly Released: Jan 31, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Air Force is in the process of transforming its force to meet today's new and emerging threats. Its "Future Total Force" concept is intended to maximize future capabilities by integrating its active, National Guard, and reserve components to a greater degree. While the Air Force was making force structure decisions and developing its 20-year plan, the Air National Guard embarked on its own "Vanguard" transformation initiative to ensure its role and relevance in the new Air Force. This report discusses (1) the processes and events that surrounded the Air Force's development of its 20-year force structure plan, including the involvement of key stakeholders and the development of the Guard's Vanguard initiative, and (2) the extent to which the Air Force is utilizing key results-oriented management tools to guide its effort to identify new missions for the Air National Guard and integrate active and Guard forces as part of its Future Total Force effort.
The Air Force used an iterative process to develop its 20-year force structure plan with periodic review and oversight by senior-level Department of Defense (DOD) and Air Force officials; however, stakeholders have different views on the extent to which the Air Force sought and addressed input from process participants. The plan included a reduction in the legacy fighter fleet--residing largely within the Air National Guard--and the acquisition of new aircraft such as the F/A-22 and the Joint Strike Fighter. In late 2004, a departmentwide shift in funding priorities reduced the number of F/A-22 aircraft to be acquired and resulted in changes to the Air Force's plan. Perspectives on how well this process worked vary depending on the role and level of involvement of each organization. For example, Air Force Air Staff officials viewed the process as fully participatory and noted that the Air National Guard Bureau and the Air Force's major commands had direct representation on the force structure development team. In contrast, Air National Guard officials expressed concerns about their ability to influence decisions and 7 of the 10 adjutants general whom GAO contacted believed that they did not have sufficient opportunity to influence the decisions. Because documentation of the proceedings of key meetings was limited, GAO was unable to evaluate the extent to which stakeholders influenced the process. During the same period, the Air National Guard began a separate effort--the Vanguard Engagement Strategy--to solicit input from the states on future roles and missions for the Guard and to prepare its units to respond to anticipated force structure reductions. The Air Force has taken steps to identify new missions for the Air National Guard and test ways to integrate the active, Guard, and reserve components as part of its Future Total Force transformation, but it has not fully developed a management framework to guide its efforts or a plan to evaluate its progress. In December 2004, the Air Force announced initiatives for six states to test its transformation concepts. In March 2005, the Air Force established a new directorate to guide implementation of the Future Total Force concept. The new directorate has taken steps to identify new missions and implement new constructs to integrate components. As GAO has previously reported, organizations undergoing transformation increase their likelihood of success if they adopt a results-oriented management framework to guide their efforts. Although the directorate has drafted a strategic plan that directorate officials said includes such tools, as of November 2005, the plan had not been approved and there is no requirement that it be used to guide implementation efforts. Moreover, while the Air Force has some metrics to use in evaluating its test initiatives, it has not developed a comprehensive evaluation plan to measure results. By moving ahead to implement the Future Total Force concept without such a framework and evaluation plan, the Air Force may be unable to successfully transform its culture, evaluate initiatives and program results, determine the most cost effective mix of active and reserve forces, and ensure transparency of the implementation process.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Air Force Future Total Force Directorate has developed a strategic plan to guide the implementation of the Future Total Force transformation process which contains many of the key management tools we described in our report.
Recommendation: To establish a results-oriented management framework that can be used to guide the implementation of the Future Total Force transformation process, measure effectiveness and overall results, and clearly communicate plans for implementing and evaluating the concept to all key stakeholders and decision makers within the Air Force and DOD, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Secretary of the Air Force to require the Future Total Force Directorate to fully develop a comprehensive, results-oriented management framework to guide the Future Total Force transformation effort and measure overall results. Specifically, the management framework should include a strategic plan that contains, but is not limited to long-term goals and objectives, strategies to be used to accomplish goals, performance goals, performance criteria for measuring progress, and evaluation and corrective action plans.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In response to our recommendation, the Air Force accelerated finalizing its Future Total Force Strategic Plan and approved the plan on December 16, 2005.
Recommendation: To establish a results-oriented management framework that can be used to guide the implementation of the Future Total Force transformation process, measure effectiveness and overall results, and clearly communicate plans for implementing and evaluating the concept to all key stakeholders and decision makers within the Air Force and DOD, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Secretary of the Air Force to set a specific time frame to accelerate the approval of the Future Total Force Directorate's strategic plan.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In response to GAO's recommendation, the Air Force has taken two actions. In June 2006, it published Air Force Policy Directive 90-10 which established the policy for implementing initiatives integrating the Regular Air Force and the Air Reserve Components of the Air Force as part of the Total Force Integration concept (the new name of the Future Total Force). The policy directive directed the major commands to develop metrics for evaluating whether integration initiatives are creating the desired effects. Subsequently, in May 2007, the Air Force issued Air Force Instruction 90-1001, which outlines responsibilities for Total Force Integration. The instruction codifies the development of metrics and reinforces the Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS) requirement to provide measures of a unit's capability to be reported a minimum of every 30 days. In addition, the Air Force instruction also tasked the units to track, at a minimum, crew ratios, dwell times, absorption rates, utilization rates, operational tempo, personnel tempo, quality of life indicators, and training success rates. These non-DRRS indicators are to be captured by the units and forwarded to their respective major commands and/or the National Guard Bureau for inclusion in the Total Force Integration Tracking Tool database. Additionally, the Air Force intends to continue to fine-tune the measures collected on integration initiatives as new initiatives are developed. GAO believes that these steps respond to the intent of our recommendation.
Recommendation: Further, to establish a clear understanding of the approach and mechanisms to be used to evaluate the Future Total Force initiatives to test new organizational constructs, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Secretary of the Air Force to establish a stand-alone, comprehensive, and clearly articulated plan for evaluating the Future Total Force test initiatives to measure results, identify and apply lessons learned, and build on current efforts to increase the transparency of the process for Air Force and DOD decision makers and outside organizations.

INDIANAPOLIS — For the third straight year, Bellmont was represented on the North All-Stars at the annual Grange Insurance North-South Football All-Star game Friday night at North Central High School, but this was the first time in those three seasons that the North suffered a loss, losing 13-7 last night in front of 5,216 fans.
"They won the turnover battle. That was the difference," stated former BHS standout Daniel Meyer, on the loss.
Adams County's 2011 4-H Fair opened Sunday at the Monroe fairgrounds and it seems destined to be one of the hottest in years.
A National Weather Service meteorologist in Indianapolis said a heat wave expected to crest this week will likely linger for several days.
According to meteorologist Dave Tucek, the weather service expects the heat wave to drag on until at least July 25. An excessive heat watch has been issued for Tuesday through at least Saturday.
The Decatur Thunderbirds played in the second annual Don Osborn Willshire 10 and Under tournament this past weekend and swept all five games they played for the championship title.
In pool play games, the T-Birds blanked Patrick Henry of Ohio 9-0 on Friday, and on Saturday knocked off Rockford, Ohio 7-5 and Van Wert, Ohio 18-0. In the elimination round Saturday, Decatur fashioned a big 19-1 triumph over Van Wert and then whipped Patrick Henry again by a 12-2 count in the championship encounter.
