Every four years, Congress requires the Secretary of Defense to conduct a thorough study of the nation's defense strategy including everything from force structure and budget to projecting the future of the force for 20 years. The next QDR will be released in early 2010, but work on it had already begun. The National Guard Association of the United States and the Reserve Officers Association will host a forum to discuss a look-back at the 2006 QDR and a look-forward to the upcoming QDR. This forum will focus on the big issues related to the QDR but will also include specific comment from the RC perspective. This short program will include two panels with representatives from OSD, military leaders from the AC and RCs, and representatives from area think tanks.

================================ Beethoven Concerto No.5 in E Flat I.Allegro II.Adagio un poco mosso III.Rondo:Allegro Van Cliburn,piano. Chicago Symphony Fritz Reiner. Original release. Restored. ================================ Harvey Lavan "Van" Cliburn Jr. (b. July 12, 1934), is an American pianist who achieved worldwide recognition in 1958, when at age 23, he won the first quadrennial International Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow, at the height of the Cold War. Career Cliburn was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, and began taking piano lessons at the age of three from his mother, Rildia Bee O'Bryan Cliburn. O'Bryan was taught by Arthur Friedheim,[1] a pupil of Franz Liszt. At six years old, Cliburn moved with his family to Kilgore, Texas, and at twelve he won a statewide piano competition which enabled him to debut with the Houston Symphony Orchestra. He entered The Juilliard School at age 17, and studied under Rosina Lhévinne, who trained him in the tradition of the great Russian romantics. At age 20, Cliburn won the Leventritt Award, and made his Carnegie Hall debut. It was his recognition in Moscow that propelled Cliburn to international fame. The first International Tchaikovsky Competition in 1958 was an event designed to demonstrate Soviet cultural superiority during the Cold War, on the heels of their technological victory with the Sputnik launch in October 1957. Cliburn's performance at the competition finale of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 and Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 earned him a standing ovation lasting eight minutes. When it was time to announce a winner, the judges were obliged to ask permission of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to give first prize to an American. "Is he the best?" Khrushchev asked, "Then give him the prize!" Cliburn returned home to a ticker-tape parade in New York City, the only time the honor has been accorded a classical musician. His cover story in Time proclaimed him "The Texan Who Conquered Russia." RCA Victor signed him to an exclusive contract, and his subsequent recording of the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 became the first classical album to go platinum. It was the best-selling classical album in the world for more than a decade, eventually going triple-platinum. Cliburn won the 1958 Grammy Award for Best Classical Performance for this recording. Other famous concerti Van Cliburn has recorded include the Grieg Piano Concerto, Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2, Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4 and No. 5 (Emperor), and the Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 3. In 1962, Cliburn became the artistic advisor for the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. The competition was founded by a group of Fort Worth, Texas music teachers and volunteers, and its prestige now rivals that of the Tchaikovsky Competition. Cliburn performed and recorded through the 1970s, but in 1978, after the deaths of his father and manager, began a hiatus from public life. In 1987, he was invited to perform at the White House for President Ronald Reagan and Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev, and afterwards was invited to open the 100th anniversary season of Carnegie Hall. In 1994, Cliburn made a guest appearance in the cartoon Iron Man, playing himself in the episode "Silence My Companion, Death My Destination". Now over 70, he still gives a limited number of performances every year, to critical and popular acclaim. He has played for royalty and heads of state from dozens of countries, and for every President of the United States since Harry Truman. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Cliburn ================================ *Note:Support the artist, their families and their legacy by purchasing their music.

Northrop Grumman X-47 Pegasus Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle(UCAV) The X-47 began as part of DARPA's J-UCAS project, and is now part of the United States Navy's UCAS-D program to create a carrier-based unmanned aircraft. Unlike the Boeing X-45, Pegasus development was company-funded. The initial vehicle carries the designation X-47A; the follow-on naval version is designated X-47B. The proof-of-concept X-47A vehicle was built under contract by Burt Rutan's Scaled Composites at the Mojave Spaceport. The roll out ceremony at Mojave was in July 2001 and the first flight was successfully completed in February 2003. The program was terminated on January 13, 2006 as part of the US Military's Quadrennial Defense Review.

This typically meant that those voting were white males over the age of 21 of Protestant religion. 1787 In the newly drafted Constitution, states were given the power to set voting mandates and most were still favorable to white males who owned property. 1830 Many states had dropped religion and property ownership as requirements for voting and with such a large percentage of the population at the polls, political parties were beginning to develop. 1868 The 14th Amendment recognizes African Americans as citizens, giving them the right to vote. However, state officials continue attempts to deny this right. 1870 African Americans were given the right to vote in the 15th Amendment. It prohibited any state or local government from denying that right. 1890 Wyoming becomes the first state to recognize women's right to vote and provide for it in a state constitution. 1913 Voting power is expanded with 17th Amendment, calling for the popular election of US. senators. 1920 The 19th Amendment was added to the Constitution, giving women across the nation the right to vote. 1940 Congress recognizes Native Americans as citizens. However, it wasn't until 1947 that all states granted them the right to vote. 1964 The 24th Amendment declares that no person should be denied the right to vote because they cannot pay a "poll tax." 1965 An amendment to the Voting Rights Act bans the use of literacy tests, poll taxes and other obstacles designed to keep people from voting. 1971 The voting age is lowered to 18. --------------------------- A PhotoBen750 production done the Studio-Way. http://www.studio-way.com http://www.photoben750.com http://www.bengreer.com benm.greer@gmail.com ------------------------- http://www.SuperPinoyTV.com http://www.SuperFightTV.com http://www.Bote-Dyaryo.com http://www.PinoyPipeline.com -------------------------

The 2008 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as Euro 2008, was the 13th UEFA European Football Championship, a quadrennial football tournament contested by European nations. The tournament, which was hosted by Austria and Switzerland, began on 7 June 2008, and concluded with the final at Ernst Happel Stadion in Vienna on 29 June 2008. The second jointly-hosted edition in the competition's history, the tournament was eventually won by Spain, defeating Germany 10 in the final; becoming only the second nation to win all their group stage fixtures and win the European Championship itself—a milestone also achieved by France in 1984.
