I bet he just hates having to walk away after all those billions of dollars he spent building the biggest domestic spying agency in the history of the world.<br />I'm sure it will look good on his resume though.<br /><br /><br />Dick.<br /><blockquote><a href="http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2013/10/17/u-s-eavesdroppingagencychieftopdeputyexpectedtodepartsoon.html"><br />The director of the National Security Agency and his deputy are expected to depart in the coming months</a>, U.S. officials said Wednesday, in a development that could give President Barack Obama a chance to reshape the eavesdropping agency.<br /><br />Army General Keith Alexander's eight-year tenure was rocked this year by revelations contained in documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden about the agency's widespread scooping up of telephone, email and social-media data.<br /><br />Alexander has formalized plans to leave by next March or April, while his civilian deputy, John "Chris" Inglis, is due to retire by year's end, according to U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.<br /><br />One leading candidate to replace Alexander is Vice Admiral Michael Rogers, currently commander of the U.S. Navy's 10th Fleet and U.S. Fleet Cyber Command, officials told Reuters. Like the NSA, both have their headquarters at Fort Meade, Maryland, between Washington and Baltimore. <br /><br />There has been no final decision on selecting Rogers to succeed Alexander, and other candidates may be considered, the officials said.<br /><br />NSA spokeswoman Vanee Vines said Alexander planned to leave office in the spring after three extensions to his tenure, and the process for picking his successor was still under way.<br /><br />"This has nothing to do with media leaks, the decision for his retirement was made prior; an agreement was made with the (Secretary of Defense) and the Chairman for one more year -- to March 2014," Vines told Reuters in an email.</blockquote>

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Scott Pillet</div><br /><br />  <div class='uawarticle'>Are you sick and tired of being overweight? Eager to do something about it but not sure where to start? Maybe what you require is a spa break.<br />  <br />  All of us become worn out from the things we need to do every single day. Too often preparing food is one thing we watch celebrity chefs doing on the TV, without doing it ourselves. We often choose food that are packed with calories and additives we don't need simply because preparing our own meals takes in time and can be quite expensive. Before we can even recognize our mistake, we've already given the body too much worthless junk. Needless to say, exercise also goes out of the window - who has time to go for a run or to a health club whenever work and family responsibilities take up each free moment?<br />  <br />  Occasionally, the best way to kick-start a brand new approach to life is to join in, head-first. This is the time when you should consider going to a spa. You need to visit a spa that could offer you a individualized service so you'll obtain the guidance you require to become slimmer and healthier. You do not want one more failed diet program. These industry experts will guarantee that you will be able to do it correctly now.<br />  <br />  Lots of people find it hard to consume nutritious food. The reality is it really is easy. When you eat nutritious foods in a spa, the body will learn to stay away from junk foods and you'll soon include more healthy options in your diet.<br />  <br />  A spa which works like a boot camp can intimidate you, but they are getting more popular by the moment and there's a valid reason for that. The all-in-one service simply leaves clients in a position to enjoy their time at the spa, safe knowing that they're at the disposal of experts. Connecting with others is without a doubt a good reason to go to a spa. You may be involved in group sessions, and understand more about others' experiences and the way they deal with weight loss. There's nothing that bonds a different team quite like a shared encounter, and the spa getaway allows us to seek our brand new self together with like-minded persons. Your brand new pals will be there to support you once you return to your normal life and they motivate you to work harder and practice whatever you've learned during the getaway.<br />  <br />  Most spas have websites, so make sure you try them out to know all of them much better. It is also smart to check around and pay attention to their encounters with their spa holidays. Decide if you will want spa that specializes in fitness and health, yoga and pilates, or medicine so you can select one that is best suited for you.<br />  <br />  </div><br />  <div class='uawresource'><br />  	<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br />  		About the Author:<br />  	</div><br />  	<div class='uawlinks'>Learn more about <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tbiCcAf_mI'>smart lipo Memphis</a> and see how it can help you.</div><br />  </div><br />

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By John Tiles</div><br /><br />  <div class='uawarticle'>There's great importance in looking for a medical spa that's reliable and offers superb services. Searching for a reputable medical spa and a location with staff members you can trust is extremely important.<br />  <br />  The one most significant advantage a medical spa has is the expertise of the employees. Physicians who could listen to your needs and help recognize the right treatment are an essential first step. Although the procedures done in a medical spa are secure and don't lead to injuries, it is still essential to have well-trained employees who understand how to use devices appropriately.<br />  <br />  <br />  <br />  This article talks about the points that should be considered when looking for a medical spa. We will have a look at 3 main areas: the spa's proprietors, the coaching given to workers, and the equipment present in the spa. We're going to also talk about questions you must ask when searching for a medical spa. It is important to know who runs the spa. <br />  <br />  It is important to recognize who operates the spa. The best medical spas tend to be either held by doctors or run by them. Depending on the therapies offered by a spa, some or all of them will require consultation with a doctor. You certainly want to talk with a medical doctor prior to any kind of treatment which involves prescription medicine, or that may have severe skin-related effects.<br />  <br />  If physicians seem aloof or tough to talk to, it might be a warning sign. It is always nice to work together with a doctor that makes you comfortable throughout the procedure and provides you with information regarding the treatment. Booking an appointment should be easy and the appointment must also go smooth. Do not get misled by promises. Go for a medical doctor that is genuine and could give good results.<br />  <br />  In addition to choosing a medical spa that is run by medical doctors, it's also essential to ensure the staff members that carry out the procedure have been well-trained. These individuals should have intensive experience in taking on equipment for the therapies. There are sites such as Yelp that can give you reviews. Spend some time to read these reviews so you'll know a company much better.<br />  <br />  Medical spas typically have photographs of their patients which were taken after and before the process, and these albums display the staff's abilities and experience. Ask them to show these images to you so you will determine if the staff did an excellent job. If they don't handle treatments nicely, outcomes will also be very poor.<br />  <br />  </div><br />  <div class='uawresource'><br />  	<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br />  		About the Author:<br />  	</div><br />  	<div class='uawlinks'>If you need a perfect <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tbiCcAf_mI'>weight loss Memphis</a> solution, then check out this <a href='http://www.youtube.com/user/LaserBodyWellness'>smartlipo in Memphis</a> solution.</div><br />  </div><br />

At Last It Is Now Easy To Have And Use Resveratrol Select

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Neal Angers</div><br /><br />  <div class='uawarticle'>Resveratrol Select is all you need to live the life you want, in terms of the best health. What do you need to last in today's time? Take your anti-oxidants, maintain a normal blood sugar and cholesterol levels, keep your heart healthy, don't stress and have a healthy, fit body.<br />  <br />  The Reality of Resveratrol Some people are asking: is there such a thing as resveratrol? There is because it is this product's working ingredient. Have no fear, resveratrol is natural and it is something that berries have long been hiding all along. No wonder many scientists and biologists have a curiosity about this plant's rare cellular activity that makes its lifespan extra long!<br />  <br />  Is it Safe to Drink Daily? Resveratrol has long been taken because it is found in red wine. A glass of red wine contains small dosage of resveratrol, large amount of alcohol and calories so red wine is not safe to drink daily but thankfully Resveratrol Select is since everything comes natural.  One capsule of this is packed with 200 times resveratrol more than a glass of wine so benefits are reaped daily. Moreover, no harmful chemicals or ingredients have been added instead other natural substances which promote healthy weight and lifestyle have been included.<br />  <br />  Are there other ingredients in this supplement? Aside from resveratrol there are other ingredients too, but they are guaranteed safe and natural. These are green tea leaf extract, chromium and L theanine.<br />  <br />  Your next option: drink one capsule with natural resveratrol everyday. Higher concentration of resveratrol, which is over 200 times higher, is your advantage, without the risks.<br />  <br />  Resveratrol works together with your metabolism to help the fat and extra pounds you are carrying disappear. The antioxidants contained in Resveratrol help to flush out toxins in the body, plus they provide the energy your cells need to metabolize fat stores.<br />  <br />  The Japanese take pride in their green tea leaf extract because it is a superb anti-oxidant, the same goes for Theanine found in teas which also fight cancer. Chromium is for the figure conscious and health enthusiasts because it can transform stored fats into energy for the body.<br />  <br />  Indeed for a product that works, all questions have an answer to shed light on the growing popularity of Resveratrol Select.<br />  <br />  This genuine gem for good health is only available online but the good news is a product trial comes free to prove its authenticity and efficacy. No Promises, just healthy good life ahead.<br />  <br />  </div><br />  <div class='uawresource'><br />  	<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br />  		About the Author:<br />  	</div><br />  	<div class='uawlinks'>You have to watch the reviews of <a href="http://youtu.be/_H5PDAUV9QU">Resveratrol Select</a> before to get to know hoe to get a free bottle offer from the official website.</div><br />  </div><br />

Sure, the conflict may have been a terrible embarrassment for the GOP, but the Wall Street-backed tea party agenda of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austerity" rel="nofollow">austerity</a> came out unscathed.<br /><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">The <a href="http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-mh-austerity-20131016,0,1067125.story" rel="nofollow"><em>Los Angeles Times</em> observed</a>:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As the shadow of the shutdown passes, it's proper to be reminded again that this fight involved spending levels that are materially suppressing economic growth and hampering the recovery.</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Specifically, the deal soon to be voted on leaves the sequester in place, at least until Jan. 15….The sequester is merely one manifestation of Congress's love for austerity in the post-recession era.

And you can be sure that this committee will try to hash out a “<a href="http://teamsternation.blogspot.com/2013/10/truth-behind-grand-bargain.html">Grand Bargain</a>,” which is basically Washington-speak for harsher cuts and “entitlement reform” -- “entitlement reform,” by the way, is Washington-speak for gutting Social Security and Medicare.<br /><br />But austerity was the winner even before that part of the deal was conceived. That’s because the goalposts in Congress’s spending debates have already been moved to austerity’s side of the field.<br /><em>Think Progress</em> <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2013/10/15/2782911/republican-victory-sequestration/" rel="nofollow">reports</a>:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">It may seem like ancient history, but <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budget_sequestration_in_2013" rel="nofollow">sequestration</a> was originally designed to be so unpalatable to both parties that the threat of its automatic budget cuts to both defense and non-defense programs alike would be enough to force lawmakers to come to a grand bargain budget agreement. As it first went into effect in March, Republicans tried to pin the blame for any negative consequences on President Obama. But they gradually came out in favor of sequestration’s devastating cuts and have now made it the baseline in the fight over funding the government.</blockquote>According to the <a href="http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/budget/news/2013/09/30/76026/the-senate-continuing-resolution-is-already-a-compromise/" rel="nofollow">Center for American Progress</a>, Obama’s original budget for 2014 was $1.203 trillion. In 2010, Republicans took control of the House and deficit hawk <a href="http://teamsternation.blogspot.com/2012/08/paul-ryan-premium-wine-for-me-catfood.html">Paul Ryan</a> proposed a 2014 budget of $1.095 trillion -- that's 10 percent <em>more</em> than what Congress just passed to end the shutdown.<br /><br />Outrageously, the justification for all these spending reductions is baseless. The country’s supposedly out-of-control <a href="http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2013/09/deficit-falling-falling-falling" rel="nofollow">debt has been falling significantly over the last two years</a>.<br /><br />But for tea party extremists, austerity was never about getting the deficit under control. It’s about shrinking government in a way that punishes workers and the poor. Even during the shutdown, what was deemed “essential” and “non-essential” gives you an idea of what parts of government right-wing elites think is important. So <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2013/10/08/2748461/members-only-congressional-gyms-deemed-essential-remain-open-during-shutdown/" rel="nofollow">Congress’s gym – complete with heated pools and a sauna – was essential</a>. Food assistance to low-income mothers and children? Non-essential.<br /><br />Now, the latest agreement sets the stage for another budget and debt limit battle just in time for another round of sequester cuts. As we wrote at <a href="http://www.teamster.org/content/joy-over-proposed-budget-deal-should-be-short-lived">Teamster.org</a>:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">...our government will be funded at a significantly reduced level than it should be... because of sequester cuts that went into effect last year.</blockquote>For now, we’ve avoided default, reopened the government and hundreds of thousands of locked-out government workers are back to work. That’s definitely a good thing. But now anti-worker zealots in Washington are hoping that sharper austerity measures won't seem so bad compared to the pain caused by the shutdown.<br /><br />Don’t be fooled.<br /><br />
