Rumsfeld gets flak from troops
Anxious troops awaiting deployment to Iraq peppered Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld with questions during a brief visit to Kuwait yesterday, demanding to know why U.S. forces still were being...
Rumsfeld, who invited "tough questions" from the troops, got what he asked for as several also took him to task for the poor condition of equipment given to the National Guard and for the Pentagon's "stop loss" policy that has kept thousands of troops on active duty beyond their discharge dates.
In one exchange during the "town hall" meeting, Spc. Thomas Wilson complained that he and his comrades were rooting through junkyards to find improvised armor to protect their vehicles against bomb blasts and small-arms attacks.
"A lot of us are getting ready to move north relatively soon," said Wilson, an airplane mechanic with the Tennessee Army National Guard. "Our vehicles are not armored. We're digging pieces of rusted scrap metal and compromised ballistic glass that's already been shot up ... picking the best out of this scrap to put on our vehicles to take into combat. We do not have proper ... vehicles to carry with us north."
He added: "If you think about it, you can have all the armor in the world on a tank and a tank can be blown up."
Another soldier, from a logistical-support unit based at Fort Bragg, N.C., complained that she was being kept in the Army against her wishes by a Pentagon "stop loss" order.
"It is something you prefer not to have to use, obviously, in a perfect world," Rumsfeld responded. "It's been used as little as possible."
When a third soldier, from the Idaho Army National Guard, complained that Guard units had been issued "antiquated" equipment inferior to that given to regular Army units, Rumsfeld said the Army is trying to be equitable, but that somebody has to receive the older gear.
The one question that seemed to give Rumsfeld pause came from a lieutenant colonel who said that many soldiers in his unit are having trouble receiving all the pay due them, causing problems for their families who are being pestered by bill-collection agencies.
"Can someone here get the details of the unit he's talking about?" Rumsfeld asked. "That's just not right."
As a whole, Rumsfeld's responses provoked a wave of criticism from congressional Democrats. Rep. Ted Strickland, D-Ohio, called Rumsfeld's remarks "callous." Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., termed them "contemptuous."
Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., later released a letter to Rumsfeld, saying he was "disturbed" by the secretary's response to the question about vehicle armor, calling it "utterly unacceptable."
"Mr. Secretary, our troops go to war with the Army that our nation's leaders provide," Dodd wrote. "Our military should spare no expense to ensure the safety of our troops."
Some military experts agreed with the criticism. "Any problem mentioned, he's in denial," retired Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey said.
"Troop frustration is growing," especially as some soldiers head to Iraq for their second tour, said another retired four-star general who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The series of pointed questions shot at Rumsfeld reflect a consequence of the Pentagon's increasing reliance on Guard and Reserve units to carry out the U.S. mission in Iraq. Almost 45 percent of the 130,000 Army troops in the country are drawn from the part-time components. Unlike active-duty troops, Guard and Reserve troops tend to be older and less deferential toward authority.
An Army Reserve unit already in Iraq made headlines in October when it refused to carry out a convoy mission it considered too dangerous. Eight U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq and Kuwait filed a lawsuit this week challenging the "stop loss" policy, which forces them to serve beyond the end of their term of enlistment.
Rumsfeld's spokesman, Lawrence DiRita, said the meeting was hardly unusual. "The range of questions was quite typical," he said at a Pentagon briefing. "I thought it was a very standard event."
He also said the question posed by Wilson, the Tennessee Guardsman, was misleading, in that it made it appear that soldiers are being sent into a combat zone in unarmored vehicles. Any Humvees the military's jeeplike light trucks that lack armor are carried into Iraq atop flatbed trucks and, once there, are used only inside the relative safety of U.S. bases, he said.
The deputy commanding general of U.S. forces in Kuwait, Maj. Gen. Gary Speer, said, as far as he knew, every vehicle deploying to Iraq from Kuwait had at least "Level 3" armor protection locally fabricated armor for side panels, but no bulletproof windows or reinforced floorboards.
Speer said he was unaware that soldiers were searching landfills for scrap metal and discarded glass.
However, Maj. Gen. Gus Hargett, the adjutant general of the Tennessee National Guard, disputed Speer's remarks. "I know that members of his staff were aware and assisted the 278th in obtaining these materials," he said.

Gustav Klimt's 150th birthday celebrated with Google Doodle
July 14, 2012 - 09:46 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Google's latest doodle celebrates the 150th birthday of Gustav Klimt, the Austrian symbolist painter whose work was a cause of controversy for its celebration of sexuality, but which is now counted among the most expensive artworks in the world today.
As The Guardian reminds, born in 1862 in Baumgarten, near Vienna, Klimt was the son of a gold engraver and later became know for the gold leaf which adorned his highly decorated, colourful works produced after he trained at Vienna's School of Applied Art.
As the leader of the Secession movement, a group of Viennese artists who challenged the rigidity of traditional Austrian painting, he emerged as a master marketeer, becoming the only artist in the country to do extensive, authorized reproductions of his own work.
Nevertheless, his eagerness to push the boundaries of propriety met with resistance and, in 1903, he was forced to remove Hope I, a painting showing a naked pregnant woman, from the first retrospective exhibition of the Secession movement.
His most famous painting is The Kiss (1907-08), which reflected his fascination with eroticism in an era when another Austrian, Sigmund Freud, was placing sexuality in the public sphere with works such as his Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality.
Reputedly the father of 14 illegitimate children, Klimt died from a stroke after contracting Spanish flu during the 1918 pandemic.
In a fitting homage to his memory, in 2010, a Vienna art museum invited a sex club to hold orgies and display related paraphernalia in the Secession Building, the permanent home to Klimt's Beethoven Frieze, his most ambitious surviving work.

Cortese quickest in Motegi final free practice
Championship leader Cortese confirmed himself as the favourite for this weekend with a fastest lap of 1.58'739, beating his teammate Kent by just over two tenths of a second. AirAsia-SIC-Ajo's Zulfahmi Khairuddin continues to have one of his best weekends to date, as he once again pushed himself into the top three with a quick lap towards the end of the session.
Estrella Galicia 0,0's Alex Rins, who had a subdued day yesterday looked to have found his form this morning as he came fourth, ahead of Blusens Avintia's Maverick Viñales, who is over six tenths off the time set by Cortese. Mapfre Aspar Team Moto3's Jonas Folger, who will once again be a podium favourite this weekend, was held up in his final fast lap and could not improve on sixth place.
RW Racing GP's Luis Salom, currently second in the championship and still with a shot at the title, was seventh quickest ahead of Racing Team Germany's Louis Rossi, who took an excursion into the gravel as he pushed too hard in the latter stages of practice. JHK t-shirt Laglisse's Efrén Vázquez and Team Italia FMI's Alessandro Tonucci completed the top ten.
Tonucci's teammate Romano Fenati crashed very early in the session, as did Mahindra Racing's compatriot Riccardo Moretti. Andalucia JHK t-shirt Laglisse's Alberto Moncayo almost dropped his bike in the gravel avoiding a cruising Viñales, but managed to stay upright. None of the riders were injured.

text:
was his most reprinted play, and it remains enormously popular with theatregoers and readers. Falstaff still towers among Shakespeare's comic inventions as he did in the late 1590's. David Bevington's introduction discusses the play in both performance and criticism from Shakespeare's time to our own, illustrating the variety of interpretations of which the text is capable. He analyses the play's richly textured language in a detailed commentary on individual words and phrases and clearly explains its historical background.
William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's preeminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire and was baptised on 26 April 1564. Thought to have been educated at the local grammar school, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he went on to have three children, at the age of eighteen, before moving to London to work in the theatre. Two erotic poems, Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece were published in 1593 and 1594 and records of his plays begin to appear in 1594 for Richard III and the three parts of Henry VI. Shakespeare's tragic period lasted from around 1600 to 1608, during which period he wrote plays including Hamlet and Othello. The first editions of the sonnets were published in 1609 but evidence suggests that Shakespeare had been writing them for years for a private readership.
Shakespeare spent the last five years of his life in Stratford, by now a wealthy man. He died on 23 April 1616 and was buried in Holy Trinity Church in Stratford. The first collected edition of his works was published in 1623.

Yahoo decreases minimum bid in France
In an effort to get the French advertisers to hang on to Yahoo! the former search giant decreased the minimum bid for keywords from €0,15 to €0,10. With that the absolute maximum French advertisers have to pay for any keyword is now 10 cents. The change will have a positive effect on those working with low marges.

movieweb.com – This news should come as no surprise. The Dark Knight Rises has been given a PG-13 rating from the MPAA, according to Warner Bros. 411 Distributor Service. Both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight were also given PG-13 ratings.The reasons for this rating include the following."Intense sequences of violence and action, some sensuality and language."Thanks to Collider for pointing out this bit of minutia.

Local women business owners sharpen social media skills
INDIANAPOLIS - Indianapolis women business owners were sharpening their social media skills to get a leg up on the competition.
Janet South wants to build a strong online presence for her south-Indy business Deco Group. She said most of the networking she does starts on LinkedIn.
"We have potential customers who are looking us up on social media and using that more than they ever have," South said.
Recently, South attended a workshop on social media offered by the National Association of Women Business Owners.
She is a member, who like many other women, realizes there is no reason to miss out on business growth online.
"It's here. It's big. People are using it. It's just -- have we prepared ourselves for the level that we need?" South said.
South said today her answer would be no, so she knows there is work to be done.
"The business of you is to make yourself as marketable as you can possibly be. Whether you're running your own business and marketing, or if you're at the beginning of your career and you're looking for opportunities. You're looking to build that network to increase your presence," Audrey Taylor said.
Taylor's professional services business, Netlogx, has seen a dramatic increase in social media traffic, primarily on LinkedIn where they are putting in proposals.
"It's not that we can tell we win the business, but if they went there and they found deficit, we would not win the business," Taylor said.
"It's really important to be using all the tools you can to promote your business, enhance your business and develop those relationships," said Lisa Purichia with the NAWBO board of directors.
As it turns out, a post a minute on Twitter or a blog a day is not necessary. It is just important to have a plan.
"You don't have to be an expert, you just have to make sure that what you do have out there represents the best of you," Taylor said.
Indianapolis will host the NAWBO Women's Business Conference next week.

The Mexican Navy selected VSTEP to supply a Class A NAUTIS Full Mission Bridge (FMB) Simulator and 24 NAUTIS desktop trainer stations for the Naval Academy in Veracruz. The simulators will be installed at the new simulator training wing of the Heroica Escuela Naval Militar set to open in Q4 2014.
The Heroica Escuela Naval Militar is the school where future officers are trained for the General Corps of the Mexican Navy. In line with the expansion of the school's training facilities, a new simulator wing is currently under construction. The Mexican Navy selected VSTEP as prime simulator provider for its new facility.
VSTEP and its Mexican partner Edutelsa will deliver and install a NAUTIS DNV Class A Full Mission Bridge Simulator and two classrooms of NAUTIS Desktop Trainers for a total of 24 desktop stations. The Full Mission Bridge simulators have a 240° horizontal field of view and are fully compliant with the Class A DNV Standards for Certification No. 2.14 for Maritime Simulator Systems and IMO model courses 1.22 and 1.32.
The simulators will use the NAUTIS Naval Task Force software module, which is specifically designed to meet the training requirements of navies and coast guards and includes tactical communications, amphibious landing, replenishment at sea and Anti-Piracy Training. VSTEP has also developed and integrated different Mexican naval bases for implementation into the simulators.
VSTEP Director, Pjotr van Schothorst, said, "We are proud to be selected as the prime simulator supplier for the Mexican Navy. Our NAUTIS Simulators with Naval Task Force module will provide naval students and personnel with a very effective training tool for naval operations. We look forward to delivery and installation of the simulator classrooms for the new simulator wing in Veracruz and will maintain a strong relationship with the Mexican Navy for future projects."
Earlier this year, VSTEP won a contract to provide simulators to all the FIDENA schools in Mexico. This Mexican Navy contract strengthens the company's position as a key provider of maritime simulator solutions in the region.

I love chess.com, but I think its unfair to lose points when I am playing a game and it is cut off by the server. I get a message that says maintenance please try back later. If the server is ending my game I should keep the rating I had when the game started...what do you guys think?
You shouldn't be getting a message that says 'maintenance please try back later' unless the Live Chess server is actually undergoing maintenance. Will you let me know how you are playing on the site please? (With a computer? Through a mobile device? -- what browser and version and/or app and version are you using?)
It happens when I play on my iPhone, never on the computer. It never happens when I am connected with wifi only 3G. This problem started after the update for the iPhone before that it was flawless.
Ok thanks, will you check that you have the most updated iOS as well as the Chess.com app please?

Hydrex diver-technicians carried out three separate repairs on a 118-meter general cargo vessel while the ship was at anchorage off the coast of Port Gentil, Gabon. These on-site repairs allowed the customer to save precious time and money.
The entire operation was supervised and coordinated by the Hydrex team leader from inside a monitoring station.
A detailed inspection of both the outside and inside of the bulbous bow revealed that the entire area had been damaged. The bottom of the bow was heavily indented. This had caused serious deformation of the structural framework in the forepeak of the vessel. There were also several cracks and small holes in the hull plating.
The Hydrex team installed 14 larger doubler plates, as well as many smaller ones, to close off the damaged area from the rest of the vessel and prevent leaks. Three additional frames were also installed to reinforce the bulkhead and to make sure that the vessel could sail safely. Finally, crack arrests were drilled to prevent the cracks from spreading any further.
To repair holes in the bottom plating of the cargo hold, the Hydrex diver-technicians installed two insert plates, measuring 600 x 600 mm and 500 x 450 mm. After they had cut away the damaged areas, they prepared the edges of both holes. Next, the new inserts were positioned and kept in place with screw docks. A full penetration weld was then used to secure the plates, finishing the second part of the operation.
Simultaneously with the other two repairs, the Hydrex team also replaced plating of the damaged port side brackets of one of the large container guiding frames in the cargo hold. Pins were pushed through this plating and into tubes in the hold wall to secure the frames. This allows the crew to reposition the frames or remove them according to the requirements of the cargo transported. The Hydrex technicians cut away the old plating on the frames, as well as on the hold wall, and installed new plating with full penetration welds. They also replaced the old worn tubes in the cargo hold wall and the securing pins with new ones.

Saying goodbye to reserve duty
IDF reserve soldiers 521.
(photo credit:Marc Israel Sellem)
I must admit, it wasn't what I was expecting, this feeling. Far from it.I
opened my mailbox and took out the white envelope. One glance at the IDF
postmark was enough to give my heart in a familiar twist. I opened it, ready to
digest the dates of the next bout of reserve duty, or miluim, the usual thoughts
forming in my mind – how long? Where?Only this time, it was different. In
typical IDF short and blunt terms, the letter informed me that my discharge
ceremony would be held next week. Unless there is a major war, God forbid, IDF
soldier No. 50***75, several months into his 41st year, has worn the all-green
for the last time, shot his last IDF bullet, stood his last hour of guard duty
and eaten his last can of luf (the mystery meat in emergency rations – thank God
for that!).To be sure, if there's a war and a tzav-8 (emergency)
call-up, I'm going whether they call me or not – it already happened to me twice
– but it's not going to be the same.I'm done. Finished.What's
strange is, I'm really not sure how I feel about it. God knows a part of
me has been waiting for this day for most of the 22 years that I've served in
the IDF in one form or another. For years I'd dreamed of this day. How many
countless hours had I cursed my fate, standing in the freezing rain trying to
keep warm, or lying in the sand in the boiling heat trying to do the opposite?
How many stints of miluim had I looked jealously on my older army friends who
were finished, and with anger at those civilians who never lift a finger to do
their bit? (The "sucker" feeling at the fact that many other able people dodge
miluim, was always hard to stomach. Especially after eating the luf.) I had been
certain that this day would bring with it intense joy – but now that its here I
don't feel elation.Mixed feelings, to be sure. Confusion.On the
one hand, it's good – it will be a relief not to have to regularly leave my home
for a week or a month, and to not to have to say goodbye to my wife and
children. I will not miss the night-time missions into dangerous spots or the
palpable fear when one feels the enemy close.I will certainly be happy
to be done with that constant undercurrent of nervousness, waiting
subconsciously at every moment for the phone call, text message or email that
calls me up. (At least one thing has changed in the army. When I went in it was
a radio call up, and cell phones were still science fiction).On the
other hand, it's not good – there is a feeling inside me of being put out to
pasture, of being useless and not wanted. Not seeing my army buddies any more.
Miluim friends are a unique group of people, who rarely see each other but are
all willing to fight and put their lives on the line for each other if need
be. The IDF plays such a central role in Israeli society that you feel
like an outsider when you are done.More than anything, though, is the
feeling I can only describe as a deflated ideological balloon. I believe
in reserve duty on an idealistic level, and I always felt proud that I have – or
rather, had – the health, ability and opportunity to do what Jews couldn't do
for centuries – defend my country and what I believe in.Not since the ill-fated
days of Bar Kochba had there been a Jewish army, and I was privileged to serve
in it! I will never forget the words of Rabbi Sabato, of Yeshivat Birkat Moshe:
It is the biggest mitzva one can ever do.In my capacity as a
professional tour guide, it is with immense pride that I tell my clients, no
matter whether the they are Jewish, Christian or any other religion, that I
still do reserve duty, despite my age. This is because I believe that any
visitor to our beautiful land should understand that with great things like the
miracle of the establishment of the State of Israel after the millennia comes
great responsibility, responsibility that falls on all of us.Miluim was
good for me. I met good people from all walks of life I never would have
otherwise met. It was the biggest single instrument in my integration into
society, having come to Israel at age 14. Over half my life I have been a part
of this. Not too distant in the future lies the next stage in this circle – when
my children get the call-up.But, for now, it is over.For sure, I
can volunteer, and I may well do that; but there is a difference between being
legally obliged to serve and serving on a volunteer basis. As our rabbis put it,
"Greater is the person who is commanded to do something and does it, than one
who is not commanded to do so and does it."As my friend put it, all
things come to an end, even this mitzvah. You have fulfilled your duty. When
Succot is over, we leave the succa, when Yom Kippur is over, we eat. So too with
this mitzva.More than anything the words of David Ben-Gurion are echoing
in my head. Every Israeli is a full-time soldier on 11-month leave, said the
great man...and now that I'm about to exit this circle stage left, I'm really
not sure how I feel.The writer is – for the moment – an IDF infantry
reserve soldier. He is a licensed Israeli tour guide and an educator at Ramah
Programs in Israel, and lives in Jerusalem with his wife and four children.
