NH, Maine senators urge action to avoid shipyard cuts
February 02. 2013 10:46PM
WASHINGTON (MCT) - Senators from Maine and New Hampshire are urging action to prevent automatic federal spending cuts that could delay repairs to the USS Miami at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, cause furloughs for civilian workers and cancel a Blue Angels airshow in Maine.
Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire were responding to a document released last week outlining steps the Navy will take if Congress cannot avert the across-the-board spending cuts set to take effect in March.
Prospects for a deal remain unclear as the new Congress focuses on other issues.
The impact of the spending cuts could include:
. Delaying repairs to the USS Miami, a nuclear submarine that was damaged by fire at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery in May.
. Furloughing most civilian workers for 22 days.
. Canceling an appearance by the Navy's Blue Angels at the annual air show in Brunswick.
The Navy also warned that unless a new budget is passed, the service may have to lay off more than 1,100 temporary workers nationwide this year, cancel planned ship overhauls and scale back ship and aircraft operations.
Known as "sequestration," the threat of $1.2 trillion in across-the-board spending cuts beginning this year was supposed to push Congress to compromise on addressing the federal deficit. But Democrats and Republicans managed only to delay the cuts as part of a deal negotiated in late December.
Collins and Shaheen wrote a letter to Senate leaders expressing their "commitment to a balanced, bipartisan deficit reduction solution" to avoid cuts threatening jobs in their states.
"This month, we are starting to see the very real and negative consequences of our inaction to our national security and to the economic and financial health of our country," Collins and Shaheen wrote to Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
The two also raised concerns about the effects of the cuts on non-defense programs, such as federal assistance to schools, the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"(The) best way to avoid sequestration is to stop avoiding the choices we have to make and get our long-term debt and deficits under control," they wrote.
"This will require reforms to all areas of spending, including domestic, mandatory and defense, as well as comprehensive tax reform."

Earth Science Concepts
Plate Tectonics
Plate tectonics is an important geologic concept as it fills in the gaps to Earth's geologic history. The theory of plate tectonics helps explain the formation of mountain ranges, volcanism, earthquakes and the features associated with active plate boundaries. Tectonic processes shape the landscape and form some of the most spectacular structures found in national parks, from the highest peaks in the Rocky Mountains to the faulted mountains and valleys in the Basin and Range Province.
Below are a variety of educational materials to help students gain an understanding of continental drift, faulting, and the processes associated with plate tectonics.
Plate Tectonic Graphics
Illustrations on the Plate Tectonics Graphics page demonstrate geologic processes associated with plate boundaries which includes: fault types, tectonic plates map, fold types, subduction zones, plate boundaries, and hotspots.

Tour Park Geology: Plate Tectonics
We live on a layer of Earth known as the lithosphere which is a collection of rigid slabs that are shifting and sliding into each other. These slabs are called tectonic plates and fit together like pieces to a puzzle. The shifts and movements of these plates is what helps shape our landscape by forming mountain ranges, transforming the ocean floor, and shaping lands near plate boundaries.
Here you will find a list of parks that share this common geologic theme based on how these plates interact. Learn more...

Chère Carol,ReplyDelete
Félicitations! Quel beau site web!
I enjoyed reading more about your career. As with your blog, your joie de vivre really comes through.
Et pour cela, merci!
Bravo, bravo, bravo, Carol! Félicitations and keep sending us the beautiful illustrations, photos, and funny anecdotes, s'il te plaît. The website is beautiful.ReplyDelete
Well, you've done yourself proud . . . but honestly, I think you SHOULD have all those careers on your web site. I mean that! You've lived a varied - and wide ranging - career and each one has added something to your artistic, not to mention your emotional and spiritual - journey. I had no idea because I just started following you in the past two years and I'm making an educated guess that I'm not the only one. Remember, as you build your following and your "platform" so to speak, there will be people that will not have read or seen your old archives of materials and blogs....so it will be NEW to them!ReplyDelete
I think you need to do a San Francisco Alliance Francaise someTHING -- art show, book signing, something.
I whole heartedly support women owned businesses and hwo extra hard we have to work just to break even, much less stay ahead of the "man pack".
Did you know the San Francisco Bay Area has one of the biggest Francophile communities in the USA? Sounds like an opportunity to stock those pockets so you can get back to Paris quicker......
Hurrah for Carol.....
I wish you the best now and always. RK
FANTASTIC post! Many congratulations on the new site.ReplyDelete
I loved knowing more about your history and all the interesting things you have done and experienced. Not all of it a bowl of cherries, as you wrote, but all of it has made you the talented artist that you are. So wonderful to read about!
Best to you, Carol!

Congratulations on your new website. I love it, and enjoyed your bio. You are a most interesting, and gifted young woman. You go YFG (I am an OFG). We aren't really French, I guess. I live in Kansas City, MO, and have been to France only twice. Part of my family was French. However, I have French antiques, etc. so if you are ever traveling this way let us know. We will treat you to dinner on the Plaza (way fun) and you areReplyDelete
surely welcome to our home.

Felicitations, Carol, on your new website! It looks great, and it's fun to see the other work you've done, as well as to learn of your past "vies."ReplyDelete
One thing you may want to know, which Mumm may appreciate as well, is that the spelling for the word "Champagne" is incorrect in your client list. I hope it's an easy thing to fix -- we're in the process of creating our agency website, so we know the pain you've just experienced!
Continued bonne chance to you,

I love your new website. I knew you were talented, but I did not know that you had done so many things!! I am especially intrigued by the fact that you designed shoes — my favorite thing, besides chocolate.
I am honored to have an original Carol Gillott watercolor of me and Mr. Mickey hanging in my water closet.
Your work is fabulous. Oh, to be so creative and talented -- with words and paints.
Much congratulations on your new website.
It's very elegant.
Very you.
Carol, WOW!!!! Congratulations on your incredible new Website and all your amazing accomplishments. I knew you were talented, but my goodness, I'm seriously in awe of all your diversification and gifts - you truly deserve the most wonderful things to happen to you in your life and I am such a huge supporter of you and all your brilliant work! I was shocked to learn that you had been shot by a mugger though - OUCH! I hope you're okay and that it didn't leave any scarring (physical or emotional). Thank goodness you're alright ((HUGS)). Anyways, from the bottom of my heart, I wish you all the best with the add-on of your new site. It is perfectly complimentary to your perfectly yummy blog. xoReplyDelete
I knew you had done a lot of things but not to this extent. WOW Your talent is amazing Carol. I am so happy I own one of your paintings. Congrats on all AND your new website.ReplyDelete
Carol: So nice to hear more of your amazing journey. I'm thrilled to see the website. Bravo!ReplyDelete

Dear Carol
Every morning around 6.30 am I turn on my computer take a shower, and then I sit and revel in your musings from the day before whether in Paris, New York or London. I share these with a friend who is very fluent in French...
I adore your beautiful paintings, and would love to purchase one some day.....my twin sons are involved with wine industry..one in the Barossa Valley, the other in Queenstown New Zealand. I was particularly interested in your grape picking paintings of recent days.
I think you are incredible with your traveling and paintings, what a grand, fulfilled life you are leading ...keep at it while you can, and keep us armchair travelers very happy.
New Zealand
Love your blog as well as your new site!ReplyDelete
Keep it up =D
Amazing, utterly amazing! Your life, your art and the circuitous path that you have successfully traveled!ReplyDelete

What is a Sativa?
Sativa strains of medicinal marijuana are usually uplifting and stimulating. If you've ever smoked or ingested cannabis that makes everything funny and puts you in a great mood, it was probably from a Sativa strain. It creates a feeling of comfort, non-drowsy, and usually introspective highs. The effects of smoking or ingesting a Sativa makes them particularly popular among artists and creatives. The most popular medicinal benefits range from treating mental and behavioral problems, to treating depression, stress and ADHD.
What is an Indica?
The major difference between Sativa's and Indica's is while a Sativa can make you feel alert, active, and aware, an Indica will have a relaxing feel on the body. The physical effects of an Indica strain commonly include a drowsy and mellow mood with stress and pain relief. Indica's are one of the more suggested strains when using it for medicinal purposes as it effectively treats sleeping disorders such as insomnia, fibromyalgia, body aches and pains. Indica's are also commonly used for treating Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Fibromyalgia and Lupus
Why Choose Hybrid?
The benefits to smoking or ingesting a Hybrid strain are simply as follows. Hybrid's offer the best of both worlds combining several qualities of each containing strain. Some Hybrid's are Indica dominant, which will offer pain relief and / or mellow mood, however may contain up to 50% Sativa so it will not make you too drowsy. Other's may offer a Sativa dominant strain, which will encompass several calming benefits and pain relief, but also give a mellow, yet energetic high.
