WASHINGTON (AFNS) — Following the May 7 roll-out of the fiscal year 2010 budget proposal for the Department of Defense, Air Force officials announced plans to retire legacy fighters to fund a smaller and more capable force and redistribute people for higher priority missions.
The Combat Air Forces restructuring plan would accelerate the retirement of approximately 250 aircraft, which includes 112 F-15 Eagles, 134 F-16 fighting Falcons and three A-10 Thunderbolt IIs. This does not include the five fighters previously scheduled for retirement in FY10.
"We have a strategic window of opportunity to do some important things with fighter aircraft restructuring," said Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley. "By accepting some short-term risk, we can convert our inventory of legacy fighters and F-22 (Raptors) into a smaller, more flexible and lethal bridge to fifth-generation fighters like the F-35 (Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter). We'll also add manpower to capabilities needed now for operations across the spectrum of conflict."
Under the plan, cost savings of $355 million in FY10 and $3.5 billion over the next five fiscal years would be used to reduce current capability gaps. Air Force officials would invest most of the funds in advanced capability modifications to remaining fighters and bombers. Some would go toward procuring munitions for joint warfighters, including the small diameter bomb, hard-target weapons and the AIM-120D and AIM-9X missiles. The remainder would be dedicated to the procurement or sustainment of critical intelligence capabilities such as the advanced targeting pod as well as enabling technologies for tactical air controllers and special operations forces.
"We've taken this major step only after a careful assessment of the current threat environment and our current capabilities," said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz. "Make no mistake, we can't stand still on modernizing our fighter force. The Air Force's advantage over potential adversaries is eroding, and this endangers both air and ground forces alike unless there is a very significant investment in bridge capabilities and fifth-generation aircraft. CAF restructuring gets us there."
The CAF restructuring plan, which will require appropriate environmental analyses, would enable Air Force officials to use reassignment and retraining programs to move approximately 4,000 manpower authorizations to emerging and priority missions such as manned and unmanned surveillance operations and nuclear deterrence operations.
This realignment would include the expansion of MQ-1 Predator, MQ-9 Reaper and MC-12 Liberty aircrews; the addition of a fourth active-duty B-52 Stratofortress squadron; and the expansion of Distributed Common Ground System and information processing, exploitation and dissemination capabilities for continued combatant commander support in Afghanistan and Iraq, among other adjustments.
Secretary Donley and General Schwartz have committed the Air Force to initiatives that will reinvigorate its nuclear enterprise and field 50 unmanned combat air patrols for ongoing operations by FY11.
"What we're looking for is a force mix that meets the current mission requirements of combatant commanders while providing a capable force to meet tomorrow's challenges," Secretary Donley said.

Latin People Time at Savannah Jazz Festival
Wed. Sept. 26, 7p.m., Ships of the Sea
Sponsored by the Savannah Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
Free and open to the public
THE SAVANNAH JAZZ FESTIVAL brings a great variety of music to local stages over the next two weeks — not all of it the typical idea of what jazz is.
One of the festival's many nods to the diversity of music happens Wednesday night, Sept. 26, when the Jacksonville, Fla., salsa band Latin People Time takes the stage at the Ships of the Sea Museum for a free show guaranteed to be a party.
We spoke to Latin People Time frontman/vocalist Josue Cruz and tenor sax man/vocalist Juan Rollan.
You put a big group of people on stage!
Juan: We started life about 2013 as a smaller group of about four people. It's really felt like Latin People Time for only the last two years. The stars aligned and a bunch of us in the Riverside area of Jacksonville brought together a bunch of horn players. What began as a four-piece quickly became a ten-piece.
Josue: The new look and sound came mostly from the horn section. We had a lot of percussion from the get-go. Now we're just blowing out that ten-piece! It came from adding the horns.
Any time you've got a big horn section that usually means arrangements. Who does that for the band?
Josue: Most credit for that goes to Angel Garcia. We don't always have arrangements per se. He would transcribe horn lines from recordings of authentic salsa bands from the late '60s and '70s, straight from Cuba and Puerto Rico. We want to stay as true to the originals as possible. Latin People Time resonates because we stuck to our guns and play music hearkening back to the great salsa bands.
All this music is Afro-Cuban in origin, and comes from traditions of enslaved people brought from Africa. But what is the difference between Salsa and other forms of Afro-Cuban music?
Josue: I could talk for hours about this — I'm a real historian of this stuff! Mostly we do what's called "Salsa Dura" – hard salsa. We want to nail that sound and keep it true to the period.
A lot of salsa music sort of romanticizes the mambo/cha-cha era. That genre came north to the states from Cuba to Miami. Of course Cuban music was then basically cut off from here due to the Cuban Revolution. So a lot of kids that were first or second generation Cuban grew up listening to that old style.
Then they were exposed to the jazz rock and funk of the late '60s, which was a real confluence of events musically, from rock to jazz to R&B to funk.
You had the Boogaloo movement, which is a mix of R&B, cha-cha, and the rumba. And some of it did have that bad bubble-gum music feel.
But then came what's called Descarga – "Unloading." That's what happens when you marry this sound with big bands whose whole purpose is to blow the back out of the building.
Juan: I'm a first generation Cuban-American. Due to my father's profession, we didn't even grow up in Miami. I grew up in the Carolinas. That's one reason I love being in this band so much – I didn't grow up already saturated in this music.
Being in Latin People Time has filled in a cultural gap for me. It's opened up the whole world of salsa.
Jax is a big rock 'n' roll town, but what's the Latin music scene there? You usually associate this music with South Florida, not North Florida.
Josue: We often play clubs designed for rock 'n' roll. We're not just going to every Latin club and that's it. We play places where this kind of music isn't necessarily expected. We've provided a real contrast to what usually goes on in local clubs.
We find ourselves playing to a bunch of young kids of all creeds and colors. The thing they have in common is they can't stop moving to the music! They're hungry for it. We're amazed at the people who have come out of the woodwork. The rhythm is infectious. You can throw race, creed, and color out the window.
Juan: Jax isn't really on the map for much more than an expansion football team which only recently made it to the NFL playoffs. That's really about it. To the rest of the country, we are football and rednecks. And unfortunately, we were a hotspot during the Civil Rights Movement.
That is largely our legacy and it's unfortunate, but what the rest of the country doesn't know is how amazing an incubator it is for aspiring young musicians.
It starts on the middle-school level with wonderful arts programs like LaVilla Middle School for the Arts. Those kids then migrate over to an amazing arts high school, Douglas Anderson School for the Arts. After that, many of them choose to stay in town to attend the University of North Florida, which has a nationally recognized, flagship jazz program.
So you can see that in the middle of our "cultural desert" resides this community of world-class musicians that are passionate about being a light in the darkness. Groups like LPT are at the forefront of a much-needed cultural renaissance for the area.

What is a Martial Art compared to a Sport?
This morning I read a great article on kung fu. It was written well and was insightful, but a few things about it troubled me so I thought I'd run down some of the mostly overlooked basics that most people on the outside, and many on the inside of martial arts, don't know. With the popularity of the MMA fighting we all see on TV there is much to go over.
One statement I want to make before I start. There is no one martial art that is better than all others. In my opinion, being in the worst martial arts class available is better than not being in martial arts at all. In other words, its good for everyone, and it's not about fighting. A good school weeds out the non hackers and trouble makers and in the end the students learn that fighting in martial arts is merely a side effect to your training. This point is one thing that separates a martial art like karate or kung fu, from a sport like MMA fighting. MMA is not a martial art. It is a sport that the contestants use various martial arts against each other, whatever is brought to the table. It's main goal like a boxer is to train to win one fight. A martial artist one goal is never ending, and that is to better one's self through discipline. Fighting is a side effect.
Which came first, the chicken or the egg
One common issue in martial arts is the attempt to classify which art is older or better or more powerful. Which ever the argument is, one can normally find enough evidence to prove one's point, whatever it is, by using google to make your case. For example, most people are not aware that karate in it known "modern form" has only been around since 1920's when it was made the national sport of Japan only after it was discovered on the island of Okinawa by high ranking people in the Japanese government who wanted to use it for physical education in the Japanese school system. Had it been on the island the whole time? Yes, but it was not discovered as you know it until 1922. Those people on Okinawa learned it from shipping and trade with the Chinese main land. The fact of the matter is simple. All of the Asian arts come from China in one way or another and at one time or another. In China alone there are 1000's of Kung fu styles. Some are family systems and very private only taught to family members.
The movements
When you study kung fu you quickly learn it was all about watching the animals in nature "live" The forms and styles are based on animal movements. These movements are why it is used in Hollywood action scenes. They are pronounced and vivid, They are easier to see and more entertaining to watch, but the one thing that gets lost watching kung fu in film is the "why". In martial arts all styles use forms or kata's to teach. They are sequences of movements the student must master to advance. Hidden in these movements are micro movements and hidden in these are even more subtle movements. Depending on your skill level you may only be aware of a fraction of the things going on in each form. Hollywood doesn't use kung fu for these reasons, they use it because it plays well on film "it looks cool" Different styles display different moves and attitudes. Hollywood likes to borrow from many styles to achieve the look we see in movies like "The Matrix". Another thing that makes this happen is the Chinese culture and mythology. Unlike western schools of thought, there are hidden meanings when we see people flying through the air on wires, to us in the west we dismiss it as a cool effect with artistic license, but in China these visuals have a mythology and a meaning.
Real fighting vs Fake fighting
MMA is a controlled fight sport. It's not no holds bared as you might think. Fighting each other at your martial arts school is also not real, or at least it shouldn't be. We train to help each other, not hurt each other. The one thing I get more than anything else from all my years in martial arts, mainly from karate guys, (sorry karate guys) is that kung fu is a dance, it's all show and that the movements are too pronounced and the positions are impractical. Most people get this idea from watching a movie like "the dragon" on a Saturday afternoon. This is the main reason I decided to sit down and scribble this out. Lets get some misunderstandings out of the way first. The most important point I want to make is that in a fight, a martial artist studying kung fu for example isn't going to "dance" at me in a fight. No, they are not going to get into a cool pose and wave you in, nor are they going to have wires attached to them and fly into the battle. If it was a trained fighter he or she would likely wait for the attacker to come in and the outcome would be a dislocated joint or compound fracture depending on how hard they came in. You see most people don't understand that Kung fu is defensive art, meaning literally all the forms, sequences and kata's revolve around the idea of "being attacked", not being the attacker. You may ask yourself, "what good is that?" If you are an aggressive asshole, you are right, it serves no purpose at all. If you are protecting yourself or your family, it's everything and then some. It's the "then some" that hurts.
I've been studying Kung Fu for almost twenty years. When I started out, in the first year of my studies, I lost my job and was forced to take a bouncing job at a very rough getto bar to make ends meet. Needless to say this made me look at my kung fu class as more than a hobby. My martial arts studies suddenly became on the job training that very well could mean the difference between life and death. I did this for over ten years. I can't say many things in life with certainty. This is a humbling fact. One thing however I can speak on with absolute wisdom and clarity is how martial arts are applied in a "real life" situation. Not Hollywood, not MMA, not some crazy cage fight or a flying kick 12 ft in the air, not breaking bricks, but real life. You see, in western society the only place you can go to find a real fight on a regular consistent basis is "a bar" This is the one place you can be sure that given enough standing around time you will be assured a real live fight. There are no rules or codes. No referee, no help. Watching a room of people get drunk over the coarse of four or five hours is fascinating. I would urge literally anyone to do it, without drinking yourself of course.
When I started I was the first full time bouncer in all the bars in Harrisburg PA. Yes some of them had weekend muscle bound guys in squads of 5 or 6 as bouncers, but I was the only Monday through Saturday bouncer, and I worked alone. I didn't work alone because I was super skilled, I did because they couldn't afford more people, and I couldn't afford to complain. At first it was very scary. When the shit would hit the fan, all eyes would turn to me and I'd have to walk down to the scene. It was more like an old western movie than a kung fu movie, trust me. Most of the time however you would be surprised what skills were the most effective. They all came from my training n martial arts, but most of them were not rockem sockem robots, it was skills like observation, patients, negotiation and temperament. If these didn't work, then we get out the kung fu bag of fighting skills. This was not easy as I said before, kung fu is reactionary, and the job of bouncing is very much confrontational, but I made it work. Many times it became very physical. As the years went on they did hire people to help out on the weekends. Many didn't cut it. Taking an ID was one thing, stopping a fight or ejecting a human who doesn't want to go is quite another. Many martial artists tried to work with me, not one was able to do the job. Many people thought they would do great, until the moment of action. At that moment the fight or flight reaction kicked in, and they flew. Because I wanted to keep my job and not have my employer get sued, many of the tools were off the table from the start. While this is true some of them were never on the table to begin with, like
- dancing at them
- waving them in from a sideways horse stance
- making weird chirping sounds
- starting from a fixed position like crane
- kicks to the head, of any kind
- flying kicks
- brick breaking
Given those exceptions, there were some epic fights, all out brawls, some great judo throws and some people did literally sail through the front doors back out onto the street without ever touching the ground. While those facts are true, every time it was real and the reality of it is what had to come out of me when handling each situation. The reason I was kept on for almost a decade is that 95% of the time I was able to walk them out calmly. I grew and became the voice of reason. After a while, even the worst people that came in that bar knew better. It may have been because of something they saw weeks before, or just word of mouth but the purpose was served. I used a martial art to keep fights from starting and only an art form can do this, not a sport of fighting.
So when you are looking at the different styles of martial arts understand that the movies are not real. A good school will teach you far more than fighting they will teach you about life.

A young, troubled man's journey from the streets to the pulpit…..
Background Story…
Mike's best friend and partner in crime is Andre. Both Mike and Andre knew that they were living in contradiction to what they had been taught and eventually Mike came around. He first got a taste of the voice of God when his mother, one day frustrated with him packed his bags and drove him down to Oakwood College (a Seventh-Day Adventist college in Huntsville Alabama)
Mike remembers being jumped in by the Crips (a gang). He still has the injury in his arm today because they beat him so hard.
He remembers him and his sister waiting for their father to come and he never shows up.
His mother died while he was in school, so she never got to see him graduate although she was alive when he told her that he discovered his call to ministry. She had remarried a few times after his father and he didn't really have good experiences with her other husbands.
But Mike didn't change right away. He got really bad grades his first semester and at one point he sat out of school an entire year not knowing if he would be able to get back in. He was so discouraged that he was considering joining the army and one day he went to a service on campus and the message was "Don't Turn Back". Soon after they let him back in school.
This is Mike's Story…..His Testimony of how God pulled him from the Streets to the Pulpit…..

By Grigor Hakobyan
With recent political changes in Armenia associated with the election of Nikol Pashinyan as the new Prime Minister and the formation of a new Cabinet of Ministers of Armenia an idea voiced in diaspora for many years before has been included in the agenda of the new government. This idea entails giving political representation to Armenian diaspora in the government of Armenia. For this concept to work elections of deputies in Armenian communities abroad covering more than eighty countries around the world will be required to carry out. Implementing this idea will require changes to the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia and reorganization of Armenian community structures to a higher level of organization and complexity that at the same time will not contradict the laws and constitutions of host countries where diasporan Armenians reside.
Majority of diasporan Armenians are citizens of host countries that they reside and according to the present constitution of Armenia they cannot be elected to Armenia's Parliament or hold high positions in Armenia's government. Just like any idea with significant political implications both at home and abroad there are a number of pros and cons that will be considered in this article but not all of them necessarily addressed as a bigger study needs to be conducted both in Armenia and diaspora and more articles need to be written about this topic before the idea gets off the ground. If other countries have such experience it must be carefully studied and revised as necessary to meet the needs and present-day realities in Armenia and diaspora.
For the past twenty years if not more, the idea that Armenian diaspora should be represented in the government of Armenia has been brought up and argued over in various media outlets, including by this publication. Now that the government in Armenia is considering this option of integrating Armenian diaspora in the decision-making process taking place in Armenia it is the most appropriate time to discuss the merits of this idea and devise a conceptual framework of how such an idea may be implemented if embarked upon. Many (not all) diasporan Armenians would agree that the amount of support that Armenia has received (including Artsakh) from them is tremendous and amounts into billions since 1988 devastating earthquake that took away more than twenty thousand lives and shattered cities of Gyumri, Spitak and dozens of towns and villages within their vicinities.
The aid received by Armenia from diaspora was distributed among various layers of Armenia's society including war veterans, elderly, handicap, women, children (schools, kindergartens and orphanages), military, hospitals and medical clinics (live saving drugs and medical equipment, free surgeries and eye exams), development of country's infrastructure (funding the construction of Yerevan-Stepanakert highway via Goris and Berdzor, North-South highway in Artsakh, and another one via Vardenis to Karvachar and Mardakert to Stepankaert). Additionally, the aid was followed by implementation of various business projects and opening up of various training centers and workshops aimed to help people in Armenia acquire skills and knowledge that is in high demand in present day Armenia (e.g. Tumo Center, etc). Significant contributions were made into the Armenia's economy also via distribution of micro-loans to business savvy and through other means meant to support Armenia's agriculture by gifting farmers with cattle, goats, sheep, etc.. Most was done on purely humanitarian basis and feelings of patriotism found in large segments of Armenian diaspora while others were done for business purposes as direct investments in Armenia's economy.
First time the idea of incorporating diaspora representation in government of Armenia aroused around 2006-2007, when Armenia and Azerbaijan were discussing one of several options for resolving Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Artsakh known as Madrid Principles. This option entailed the surrender of liberated territories back to Azerbaijan while postponing the decision on the legal status of Artsakh to some indefinite time in the future. Many would agree that Madrid Principles were not realistic from the start as it failed to consider the safety of Armenian people in Artsakh and didn't provide effective security guarantees to prevent Azerbaijan from carrying out another massacre of Armenians in the region and deporting them from their homeland. During the entire process the opinion of Armenian diaspora on this matter of pan-national importance was not considered.
Second time, the concept of incorporating diaspora representation in Armenian government aroused in 2009 during public discussions of Armenia-Turkey Protocols (also known as Zürich Protocols) in diaspora meant to reconcile Armenian grievances over the role of Turkish government in the genocide of its ancestors during WW-1. This process was meant to lead both sides to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries and lifting of the road and railroad blockade imposed on Armenia by successive Turkish governments since early 1990s in connection with the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Artsakh. Part of the deal envisioned swapping territories between the two sides where Armenia would have given up its Syunik Province (also known as Zangezur) in the south along with portions of land along the Araks river in the south of Artsakh to allow Turkey establish land corridor with Azerbaijan. This step would have forfeiting Armenia's land connection to Iran and the rest of Middle East and Europe where large Armenian communities reside. In exchange, Turkey was going to give up Kars, Van and other nearby territories along with Mt. Ararat to Armenia as part of genocide restitutions without necessarily recognizing the genocide. On both occasions, the opinion of Armenian diaspora was not considered.
If Armenia decides to engage its diaspora in the affairs of Armenia by giving diaspora political representation there are at least two ways of achieving them. One way was proposed by Mkhitar Hayrapetyan, recently appointed Minister of Diaspora which entails setting up a consultative body called Senate which will include diaspora representatives but will not have an actual political power to do anything but consult the government on various matters of national importance. Even though the matters to be consulted about were not clarified it is logical to assume that topics related to Armenian-Turkish reconciliation, genocide recognition and establishment of diplomatic relations, and negotiations over the status of Artsakh will fall under its purview. Another matter of such importance could possibly be reconciliation of two slightly different writing and speaking systems of Armenian language generally known as old and modern dialects (Western Armenian and Eastern Armenian) into one writing and speaking system.
It will be reasonable to assume that such a consultative body can also consider developing a pan-Armenian national strategy that can serve as a guide for preserving and maintaining the Armenian statehood and Armenian cultural identity both in the Homeland and abroad. The pros of such an arrangement is the inclusion of Armenian diaspora in some form to assist the government of Armenia in the matters of national importance. The cons for such an arrangement include the absence of political power and questionable legitimacy of such a structure that may not be inclusive of all Armenian communities abroad or reflect the majority opinion of diasporans.
The second option is to consider allocating unspecified parliamentary mandates to representatives from diaspora thus empowering global Armenian community in all matters of state affairs that fall under the purview of the Parliament of Armenia. There are many questions of how this arrangement could be implemented. To address them all will require serious and sustained research study months and possibly years long to be conducted both in Armenia and abroad to flush out the details for such a political setup which cannot be addressed in just one article. However, what is clear is that both options described above will require amending the Constitution of Armenia and setting up of "electoral districts", "electoral precincts", "electoral monitors", "electoral commissions" and other parts of a democratic electoral process which will lend credence to those who get "elected" to represent opinions of diasporan Armenian communities in everyday matters of Armenian state.
Arguably there are bigger questions that need to be answered before tackling the merits of political representation for the Armenian diaspora in the government of Armenia. Perhaps the first question to answer is understanding the purpose of maintaining a vibrant Armenian diaspora in the twenty first century and the role/s that it can play in strengthening its ancestral homeland. The second question to answer is whether present realities in diaspora allow itself to partake in a shared responsibility for the future of the Armenian statehood and the continuity of the Armenian nation in its native homeland. Maybe there are other ways that haven't been explored which will include the Armenian diaspora in the decision-making process taking place in Armenia by utilizing its vast resources in a more efficient way without necessarily granting political representation to the Armenian diaspora in the government of Armenia.Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2018 Grigor Hakobyan

But to keep it that way, we need to look to the future and fund a project that will bring people -- and their dollars -- to our town. I hope other voters will consider the long-term benefits of supporting this project and not see it as a flimsy excuse to raise taxes...

Tis the season for endless holiday gatherings, and if you are the whiskey geek of the family you may have been tasked with putting together the holiday bar. Not to worry, you don't have to break out the vault bottles unless you really want to. Holiday entertaining can be as simple as you want to make it – a small bourbon bar and a signature cocktail or two made ahead will help your guests feel merry and bright.
For your bourbon bar, make sure you have a jigger to measure pours, Glencairn and rocks glasses, high quality ice for rocks pours (here are some great tips about ice from Camper English), bar mops for spills, and a variety of bourbons you wouldn't mind sharing with your guests.
For cocktails you can plan ahead and batch things into your punch bowl, or you can play bartender all night if that's your thing.

Hi guys!
This is Maria Lillepruun with you today with a new tutorial on a curious reverse canvas. I admire the myths of Ancient Greece, so I wanted to depict its god of seas Poseidon. I didn´t have to think long, because the idea just flashed to me once, you know how it happens! In an instant inspiration comes, and the next minute you find yourself creating, hands covered in pastes and paint. This is what I've made.
As usual, here is the video on how I made this project and created so much rich texture:
Basic Process
- I took an old square canvas once used before for acrylic pouring. It just stood there for days, so I decided to use it as a base for my new project. I inserted a thick cardstock inside it to harden the base.
- Then I used precolored Powertex textile hardener to model the "waves" on my canvas. The textiles are all kinds of old fabric pieces I found at home.
- Later on, I added more texture to the "waves" using a pallet knife and a mixture of texture medium with Lindy´s Gang Magicals, such as Hydrangea Blue and Lucky Shamrock Green from the Victorian Bouquet Shimmer Magical set.
- In addition, I applied extra texture with transparent texture paste with glass particles, colored crackle paint, and colored crackle texture paste.
- I colored the whole piece using our new products Squirts (Canadian Bacon Blush, Loonie Toonie Teal, Banff Blue) and the Magical Shakers (Bavarian Blue Magical Shaker, Guten Tag Teal Magical Shaker, Oom Pah Pah Pink Magical Shaker, Glittering Gold).
- After that, Little accents were added by golden paint, glitter, sequins and glass beads.
Here are some close-ups of the finished canvas.
Lindy's Products
- Squirts: Canadian Bacon Blush, Loonie Toonie Teal, Banff Blue
- Magicals: Victorian Bouquet Shimmer Magical set
- Shakers: Bavarian Blue Magical Shaker, Guten Tag Teal Magical Shaker, Oom Pah Pah Pink Magical Shaker, Glittering Gold
Other Products:
- Powertex Universal Medium, texture medium, white gesso (Deco Art), texture paste with glass particles (Sonnet), acrylic sparks and glitter (Prima Marketing Inc), crackle paint, colored crackle paste and varnishes (ScrapEgo), silicone mold, air hardening clay (Krea).
Thank you for your attention!
