Subtropical climate but the fact that the subtropical climate happens to be in the country that actually occupies the most territory in the arctic region is rather an almost as well. Never before has Olympic Games been held in the region in such close proximity to a conflict zone. Never before, although more about this conflict zone never before has Olympic Games been held na conflict, in such close proximity to conflict zone in which was, in fact the site effectively to civil wars in the country that is holding the games. One of which effectively russia lost in the mid 1990s with chechnya and one of which was one, the zone in the northern caucasus they are referring to where my esteemed colleagues will talk at greater length about the challenges you know, when mr. Putin went down to Guatemala City in 2007 it was a period of relative relative quiet since i would say in the area. Chechnya have been somewhat stabilized, and the frequency of violence in the other republics, the northern c
Gone along way. Unfortunately the russian government, vladimir coo and are not famed for this kind of sensitivity towards ethnic minorities. Sergei reminds us in 2010 they went to the vancouver olympics, sending out the wrong signal given that the cossacks associated with the destruction of the native peoples. I dont anticipate, wouldnt anticipate any kind of effort by sarkhasian to disrupt the games. If there is these are islamists, not sarkhasian nationalists. We have seen islamists targeting people with a National Agenda in places like bulgaria in the north caucusus, we have seen a few fascinations of academics who have been trying to portray non islamist identity for the sarkhasians. Just to finally a few extra words about the north caucusus. I should also mention another reason abkhazia is problematic which no one has mentioned so i should mention september 9th the russian vice consul in abkhazia was assassinated, the main suspect is a chechen who was wounded in georgia. That is a
Challenging i would like to talk about the governors house this program build Affordable Homes using labor from the prison the inmates gained pliable skills for when they leave prison and they help those to have an opportunity to own their home i ask the department of corrections to explore the options to make the governors house more efficient they had to meet a prototype that passed the passive house standard that requires heavy insulation and it airtight around the house high the efficient windows in the Energy Recovery air exchanger. And then have period the utility bills enough heat to provide survivability even extreme cold weather without power. The demonstration house was built in a few months applying techniques that builders have learned only that year but in spite of these it met the passive house standard it was put on display at the state fair to educate their doors about cutting edge technology. Building every governors house has tough standards we make it too expensive.
What dr. Coburns point is well taken. If we want to take a lot of revenue out of the system for the Postal Service, potential revenue out of the system, weve got to figure out how to pay for that. What are we going to cut . Be what further are we going to cut in when i talk to my colleagues on our side of the aisle, i dont have people coming to me and saying i want you to take more money save more money on Mail Processing centers. I dont have people coming to me and saying we want to save more money on, you know, rural post offices. I dont have folks coming to me and saying we want to take money out of workers comp costs. You know, i dont have any of that. But what im hearing is we want to reduce revenues by billions of dollars a year, the potential for revenues of billions of dollars a year, but were not sure how were going to offset that cost. Again, my democratic friends, we just cant have it both ways. We cant have it both ways. And what weve tried to strike here is a reasonable ba
Was the hardest decision i had ever had to make in my air force career. I did not shy away from it out because it was another commandery and i knew the individual. Potentially longterm promising career. Of my legal advice advisor. I sought the advice of my vice and a few other trusted commanders. Process, i did not rush through it. I tossed and turned with it. In the end, i made the decision were i lost faith, trust, and confidence in his ability to command. It did not matter that i knew and seemed to be very new but when the allegations substantiated on some of the things that he had , there was no question that it was the right thing to do. The command climate that it set when the commander was removed. I did not know the full context of what occurred in that. Ituation it probably should have been brought to attention sooner. Objective. Can be they can take all of those things into account. They wrestle with it day in and day out. What do we need for good order and discipline in the
