APA Senate panel is pushing to strip funding for helicopter contracts with
a Russian firm supplying the Syrian regime, after the Pentagon tried to
defy congressional warnings and move ahead with the chopper deal.The Senate
Defense Appropriations subcommittee on Tuesday signed off on a 2014 defense
spending bill that guts funding for the Mi-17 helicopters and includes restrictions
on purchases from the Russian company that makes them -- Rosoboronexport.The
move is the latest play in a long-running dispute between the Pentagon
and Congress. The Pentagon last month announced a new contract with the
company, to produce military helicopters that will go to Afghan security
forces. The Pentagon argues the helicopters are the only option, but Sen.
John Cornyn, R-Texas -- who has led the charge against them --
is adamant that the U.S. find an alternative considering the company's ties
to the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad.The decision by the leaders
of the defense subcommittee to strip the funding was hailed by Cornyn."The
Obama administration's arrogant circumvention of Congress' efforts to put
an end to our role in subsidizing Assad's murderous campaign against his
own people is mystifying and disturbing, particularly when there are other
ways to provide helicopters for the Afghans," he said in a statement.
"American taxpayers should not be indirectly subsidizing the murder of Syrian
civilians, and I'm pleased committee leaders have
ad and Black Bean Mountain," accompanied
by a cucumber-and-tomato salad and a warm pear-and-raisin compote.The school
district also will expand its Breakfast in the Classroom program that offers
students a packaged meal with juice and milk.However, cereal was dropped
from the menu because teachers complained about the mess from flakes and
crumbs.Overall, the district sold 114 million meals last year, although
students threw out nearly 7.5 percent of the food. That was down
from nearly 9 percent wastage a year earlier."Our function is to provide
nutrients for education," Binkle said. "In my mind the district is supporting
this. The focus of nutrition is as a key component and a
key role in providing children the ability to be able to learn."___Information

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> un owners." The influential lobby has opposed past
nominees and been a critic of the agency itself, arguing it has
been too intrusive in its enforcement of gun laws."I think we're going
to get it," Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., the Senate Democratic vote counter,
said Tuesday about efforts to round up 60 votes for Jones.Many gun
control groups have supported Jones' nomination, including Mayors Against
Illegal Guns, led and largely financed by wealthy New York City Mayor
Michael Bloomberg."Senators have come to understand that one of the reasons
we have the worst gun violence problem in the world is the
agency that's supposed to deal with it is rudderless and under-resourced,"
said Mark Glaze, the group's executive director.Many Republicans still have
qualms about Jones. Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, has complained that the
nomination should not move forward because of two whistleblower complaints
against him involving his work as U.S. attorney for Minnesota, a post
he has held since 2009."It is imprudent and unwise for the Senate
to give final consideration to any nominee where there is an open
investigation into that nominee's conduct," Grassley said this week.Jones
has also been acting ATF director since 2011.Also expected to win Senate
approval this week is Power, a former Obama foreign policy adviser and
long-time human rights activist, whom the president wants to become U.N.
ambassador.Power, who won a Pulitzer Prize for a book on
With preferred seats harder to get, passengers are desperate enough to offer
bribes to their fellow fliers. ReutersGetting the seat you want on a
flight has never been more of a hassle.Last year, domestic flights in
the U.S. were 83 percent full, the highest passenger load factor recorded
since 1945. On top of crowded flights, most airlines have schemes in
place to reserve choice seats for frequent flyers or those willing to
pay a feeAmid this atmosphere, some passengers are desperate enough to offer
bribes to get their preferred seat.Airline employees can lose their jobs
for accepting bribes, so few are willing take the risk of offering
an upgrade or a better seat in exchange for a kickback. In
some countries, bribes can still get you onto a full flight or
in a better seat, but in the U.S., passengers who cant get
their way may be stuck pulling out their wallet and approaching their
fellow passengers.While not illegal or prohibited by the airlines, passengers
exchanging bribes is a concern for some who say it will create
chaos in the cabin.- Dr. Joyce Hunter, associate professor at Saint Xavier
UniversityLast month, Jason Goldberg, the CEO and founder of Fab.com offered
his fellow passengers $100 to swap seats in the first class cabin
of a flight from Stockholm to Newark so that he and a
colleague could collaborate on a work project. When they declined the offer,
he vented his frustration to his 37,000 Facebook followers.The dude next
