The House version of the 2013 Defense Authorization bill eases export restrictions on commercial satellites, mandates F-16 sales to Taiwan and shows that the chamber is determined to exempt U.S. defense spending from budget constraints.


The House bill, passed May 18, 299-120, adopted a sequester workaround for defense spending. The amendment from Scott Rigell (R-Va.) would pay for defense spending with cuts elsewhere in the federal budget, as defined by the House’s budget resolution, and would exempt defense spending from any so-called sequestration cuts. The House also rejected an amendment to cut the bill $8 billion to meet spending caps mandated by the Budget Control Act (BCA).


Adam Smith (D-Wash.), House Armed Services committee ranking member, said he was concerned that the bill exceeded BCA limits. “Congress made a commitment to get our budget under control,” he says, “and I fully expect that the Senate will honor the Budget Control Act number.”


The House turned back amendments to kill the F-35B and the V-22 Osprey, delay the Long Range Bomber 10 years and cut $403 million from Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD).


Commercial satellites and their components currently fall under the U.S. Munitions List, with its tighter export restrictions. The bill would place them under the more flexible Commerce-Control list, making export easier. Industry groups have long sought the change. The Aerospace Industries Association, for example, estimates that the restrictions cost U.S. manufacturers $21 billion in lost satellite sales from 1999 to 2009.

CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) - A civilian piloting a military-contracted jet was killed when his aircraft crashed into a Southern California farm field as he completed a training exercise, authorities said.


The privately owned Hawker Hunter jet trainer went down Friday near Naval Base Ventura County, fire department spokesman Steve Swindle said. The pilot was the only person aboard.


The high-performance military-style aircraft, contracted to play the enemy in training exercises, took off from the base with another jet trainer and went down as it was returning.


Federal investigators are trying to determine what caused the plane to crash about two miles from the airport runway.


"He was on final approach. He went down," Swindle said. He said the sky in the area was "bright and crystal clear."


The farm field where the plane crashed is between Point Mugu State Park, Camarillo Airport, and the Naval base, some 50 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.


Debris from the crash covered an area about the size of a football field, Swindle said. There were no

Former Bosnian Serb army commander Ratko Mladic went on trial yesterday accused of carrying out a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing and Europe’s worst massacre since World War II.

Mr Mladic’s trial opened at the Yugoslav war crimes court in The Hague, also watched in a live broadcast in Sarajevo by widows and other relatives of victims of the 1995 massacre at Srebrenica where almost 8,000 Muslim men and boys were allegedly murdered by Mr Mladic’s forces.

“Ratko Mladic assumed the mantle of the criminal goal of ethnically cleansing Bosnia,” prosecutor Dermot Groome told International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.

Now 70, Mr Mladic has been indicted on 11 counts of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity for his role in the Balkan country’s brutal 1992-95 war that killed 100,000 people and left 2.2 million homeless.

Mr Mladic sarcastically applauded judges as they entered the courtroom, but was not asked to speak during the hearing. He had pleaded not guilty to the charges at an earlier court hearing last June. He faces life imprisonment if convicted.

Outside the court, a group of 25 women belonging to the “Mothers of Srebrenica” organisation representing widows and victims of the Srebrenica massacre, held a demonstration.

In Sarajevo, 63-year-old Fatima Mujic, all of whose male relatives were killed in Srebrenica, said: “Ratko Mladic ripped out our hearts. But God sees everything and I believe in his judgement only.”

Ms Mujic lost her three sons, husband, two brothers and father to Bosnian Serb military forces under Mr Mladic’s command when the eastern Bosnian town, a UN protected enclave at the time, was overrun on July 11, 1995.

In his opening address, the prosecutor displayed population maps showing the ethnic distribution in Bosnia before and after the war, explaining how mixed or predominantly Muslim municipalities became exclusively Serbian after a

LATUR (Maharashtra): Union minister and Mumbai Cricket Association president Vilasrao Deshmukh on Saturday said that the decision to ban actor Shah Rukh Khan from entering Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium for five years had been conveyed to BCCI, and "let it consider it".

MCA's decision followed fracas at Wankhede on May 16 after an IPL game, where Shah Rukh allegedly manhandled a security personnel.

When asked how MCA would respond if BCCI were to set aside the ban, Deshmukh said: "Where is the question of (BCCI questioning) the validity (of MCA decision)?....BCCI is our parent body. It has its own set of rules. IPL is their brainchild... their baby. We have merely rented out our ground to them," he said.

"We have reported our decision to BCCI. Now let them at least sit on that.....consider it. How can I comment before that?"

He also added that one of the proposals that was discussed at the MCA meeting on Friday was to impose a lifetime ban on the actor at the Wankhede.

Australian right-handed batsman Luke Pomersbach, who plays for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL and has had a history of brawls and brush with police in his country and was arrested on Friday in a molestation case today appeared before a court in Delhi.

"I am innocent and it's a

conpiracy," the Australian cricketer said in the court.

On Friday, Pomersbach was produced before Metropolitan Magistrate Sudesh Kumar, under whose jurisdiction the hotel, where the incident happened, falls. But, the case was transferred to a Mahila Court (court for women) on the ground that it was a molestation case.


The court, while granting bail, directed the Delhi Police to secure the CCTV footage from the hotel along with the medical report of Peerzada.


While narrating the incident to the court, the woman said, “He (Peerzada) just tried to save me and that’s how he got hurt.” She also told the court that she has been threatened to withdraw her complaint. The police said that the victim has informed them about the threat and they are verifying the details.


Drama ensued during the proceedings before the court, as Pomersbach fainted and had to be taken out of the packed courtroom. The police gave him water after which he recovered.


Pomersbach is alleged to have molested the woman, Zohail Hameed, at the ITC Maurya hotel in New Delhi. Her fiance Sahil Peerzada, who is in his 30s, was beaten up by the player when he tried to stop him and was admitted to Primus Hospital in the diplomatic area of the national capital, police said.

Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben has admitted that he cannot wait to play against former club Chelsea in the Champions League final.


The Netherlands international played a crucial part as the Bundesliga giants knocked out Real Madrid, another past team of the Dutchman, in the semi-finals, and is looking forward to facing the Stamford Bridge outfit.

"Honestly, it couldn’t be better for me," he told Times of India.

"Playing against Chelsea makes the final even more exciting. In the semi-finals I was up against Real Madrid, who are also one of my former clubs, and, of course, against one of my former managers, and now it’s Chelsea. Amazing," he confessed.



The flying winger went on to state that he keeps up to speed with the Blues’ results, and is pleased that Roberto Di Matteo has led the west London team to the final.

"I had such a great time at Chelsea. I’m very happy for Roman Abramovich, who has put so much effort and money into the club. The fans were very good to me when I was there so I’m very pleased for them as well.

"I will always have fond memories of my time at Stamford Bridge so I’m very happy for Chelsea that they are there [in the final]."

Despite Chelsea being criticised in the media for their defensive tactics on a number of occasions this season, Robben feels that both teams will attack at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben has admitted that he cannot wait to play against former club Chelsea in the Champions League final.


The Netherlands international played a crucial part as the Bundesliga giants knocked out Real Madrid, another past team of the Dutchman, in the semi-finals, and is looking forward to facing the Stamford Bridge outfit.

"Honestly, it couldn’t be better for me," he told Times of India.

"Playing against Chelsea makes the final even more exciting. In the semi-finals I was up against Real Madrid, who are also one of my former clubs, and, of course, against one of my former managers, and now it’s Chelsea. Amazing," he confessed.



The flying winger went on to state that he keeps up to speed with the Blues’ results, and is pleased that Roberto Di Matteo has led the west London team to the final.

"I had such a great time at Chelsea. I’m very happy for Roman Abramovich, who has put so much effort and money into the club. The fans were very good to me when I was there so I’m very pleased for them as well.

"I will always have fond memories of my time at Stamford Bridge so I’m very happy for Chelsea that they are there [in the final]."

Despite Chelsea being criticised in the media for their defensive tactics on a number of occasions this season, Robben feels that both teams will attack at the Allianz Arena.

"They have players suspended, as we do, and the team has changed since I was there, of course. But I think they have done so well to qualify.

"I remember watching their game against Napoli earlier in the season and I was very surprised and very disappointed because they were poor. But since then they have improved

Q: I don't know how you do it.

A. Well, you know, I'm really lucky, thankfully — knock on wood. I've got good stamina and recuperative powers. Also, I love what I'm doing, and it's so endlessly challenging and interesting — every day something new, no two days are the same.

Q: But how do you find the energy to travel 750,000 miles?

A: 777 (thousand) — but who's counting?

Q: Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're now at 96 countries, which I think ties Madeleine Albright. So you will be beyond that when you visit the next country.

A: My view on this is that you really have no choice. Even though we live in the age of so-called virtual reality, where I could do a video conference with anybody in the world in government, I could even be satellite-beamed into a personal appearance somewhere, like one of our "townterviews," nothing substitutes for showing up. You know the old Woody Allen adage — 90% of it is showing up. So especially coming out of the 2008 financial crisis, where people really had doubts about what we were going to be able to do — could we pull ourselves back up? Would we still be the paramount leader of our time? — I didn't have any doubts, but it was important to get out and demonstrate to the rest of the world that we were going to get through the crisis and come out just as strong as ever. But it takes that personal effort and connection. So I'm aware that it's exhausting, and there's no doubt about that, but it's also really exhilarating, so it's the kind of trade-off

OTTAWA - A problem plaguing the breathing apparatus of the F-22 fighter jet should not affect pilot safety in the F-35, says Lockheed-Martin, which makes both planes.


Some U.S air force pilots are refusing to fly the F-22 Raptor saying the problem that affects the F-22 pilot oxygen generator system can cause loss of consciousness while in flight.


Subcontractor Honeywell makes the oxygen system in the F-22. It will also produce the oxygen generation system to be used in the F-35, the fighter jet that the Canadian government is considering to purchase as a replacement for the CF-18s.


"The F-35 program has leveraged the lessons learned from F-22 development to enhance the F-35 across all sub-systems," said Lockheed spokesman Joe DellaVedova.


Differences in the performance characteristics of each aircraft can affect the use of the breathing system, the U.S. Air Force says. The F-22 can fly at twice the altitude and speed of the F-35.


"The F-35 was not designed to operate at F-22 altitudes," said DellaVedova.


The problem with the F-22 oxygen system might be linked to the special attributes of the F-22 and not the system itself, says the air force.


"We're realizing that we operate (the F-22) differently than we operate any of our other fighter aircraft," said U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Janet Wolfenbarger. "We execute maneuvers that are high G and at high altitude."


Two U.S. Air Force pilots told the U.S news magazine show 60 Minutes earlier this month that the oxygen generator in F-22 fighter jets does not give them enough air during high altitude maneuvers.


The U.S. fighter pilots allege the system is not dependable and could cause a pilot to lose consciousness. This phenomenon is known as hypoxia and can be fatal.

Was the US-India strategic partnership oversold to the extent that it has failed to yield tangible benefits for the US? An increasing number of American analysts argue that indeed is the case. These sceptics cite two high-visibility issues in particular: India’s rejection of separate bids by Lockheed Martin Corp. and Boeing Co. to sell 126 fighter jets, and New Delhi’s reluctance to snap energy ties with Iran. The discussion over these issues, however, obscures key facts.

Take the aircraft deal. Despite that setback, US firms have clinched several other multi-billion -dollar arms deals in recent years. These contracts have been secured on a government-to-government basis, without any competitive bidding. But in the one case where India invited bids, American firms failed to make it beyond the competition’s first round.

The most startling yet little-publicized fact is America’s quiet emergence as the largest arms seller to India. In the decade since president George W. Bush launched the US-India strategic partnership, India has fundamentally reoriented its defence procurement, moving away from its traditional reliance on Russia. Indeed, nearly half of all Indian defence deals by value in recent years have been bagged by the US alone, with Israel a distant second and Russia relegated to the third slot.

Now consider the Iran issue. Just as the Indian rejection of the Boeing’s F/A-18 and Lockheed Martin’s F-16 bids has made big news the US landing of multiple arms contracts has received little notice, India’s reluctance to publicly support US energy sanctions on Iran has been in the spotlight, but not the quiet Indian strategy since the late 1990s to let the share of Iranian oil in India’s energy imports gradually decline—a trend that has seen the importance of Iranian oil supplies for

The 20th century had changed and changed again by the time the world rang in the new year of 1962. After two world wars and the Great Depression in between, the Cold War between the U.S. and Soviet Union was icy. From Africa to Asia, former colonial territories were declaring independence.

The American civil rights movement was gathering force behind a charismatic young leader, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. The nation’s first Roman Catholic president, John F. Kennedy, was inspiring the world.

Amid all those events, you could say the world in which we’re now living was born in 1962 as much as any year before or since – from the origin of satellite communications and the Internet to the emergence of church-state issues that are controversial to this day.

Here are 1962’s landmark events, and how they’re shaping our lives.

Operation Chopper

Vietnam: Jan. 12

Most histories mark American military involvement in South Vietnam from Congress’s 1964 Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which opened the door to a massive escalation. But you could argue that for the U.S., the Vietnam War really started with “Operation Chopper.”

While President John F. Kennedy had already sent thousands of military advisers to the country, the U.S. took no combat role until Army helicopter pilots flew 1,000 South Vietnamese soldiers to attack a Communist Vietcong stronghold near Saigon in 1962.

By the time the war ended in 1973, 2.7 million service members had taken a tour of duty in Vietnam, and almost 58,000 had died.

John Glenn’s flight: Feb. 20

NASA astronaut John Glenn wasn’t the first man to orbit the earth. Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin did that, in 1961. But Glenn’s three orbits in his
Mercury capsule captured world attention, and turned the “space race” in America’s favor. Seven years later, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin

But it takes that personal effort and connection. So I'm aware that it's exhausting, and there's no doubt about that, but it's also really exhilarating, so it's the kind of trade-off

<!-- AddThis Button END --><p>BILLINGS- In a world constantly on the move eating healthy can sometimes be thrown to the wayside for convenience and cost. At least, that's what a few new studies with alarming statistics are suggesting.</p>
<p>Earlier this month the United States Department of Agriculture released that as many as half of all American adults are eating at restaurants three or more times a week.</p>
<p>The same study also attributed one-third of all calories consumed in the United States to restaurant food.</p>
<p>And then in the past week, a health journal, Public Health Nutrition, released the results of an 18-month study conducted by Rand Corp. which concluded that 96% of main restaurant entrees at nearly 250 chain restaurants exceeded USDA suggested daily limits for calories, sodium, fat and saturated fat.</p>
<p>All of this information comes on the heels of a study conducted by Duke University which points to a rapidly rising obesity rate in the United States.</p>
<p>The study, which used statistics from the Center of Disease Control, estimated that by the year 2030, 48% of the American population will be considered obese.</p>
<p>In light of these mounting and alarming statistics, a common question arises: how can you eat a balanced diet while eating in restaurants?</p>
<p>"The first thing to think about is what you're drinking," says Dr. Jeffrey Mitchell of Vitality Health and Wellness in Billings said. "That's probably the easiest way to either add or subtract calories from your meal."</p>
<p>Mitchell also says it's time for Americans to cut down on carbohydrates.</p>
<p>As a nation, the chiropractor says a typical American consumes 20 times the amount of carbohydrates they need for a balanced diet.</p>
<p>When Mitchell consults patients experiencing pain, he says it's all too common that diet is a key factor.</p>
