There was a car wreck outside of Capitol tonight. We heard the boom from way up in the tower. This Jeep landed on it's side about 2 feet from the window of one of our conference rooms! I don't think anybody had to be carried away in an ambulance, though, so it looked like everybody was okay. Crazy!
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
The fog-capped mountains at the Smokies were a wonderfully peculiar view. The fog stopped being remote and eerie but instead became tangible, animated, and positively emotional. It was an unexpected highlight of our trip.
CAP-USAF sponsored a flight clinic for their personnel and invited CAP members to participate. Virginia Wing hosted it at Virginia Wing HQ. It gave all the aircrew opportunity to hone their various skills as pilots and mission observers. All participants were afforded the opportunity to fly multiple times and focused on basic flying skills, pilotage, aircraft systems, and instrument flying.
For a Fair CAP, Cap the subsidies
Tuesday 12th Mach 2013
Greens/EFA MEPs rallied outside European Parliament this morning and met with NGOs to support their calls for genuine CAP reform.
The vote for the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy will take place tomorrow from noon, Wednesday 13th March.
The vote in the Agricultural committee in January unravelled the European Commission's somewhat Green leaning proposal on CAP reform and resulted in an even less ambitious text.
Our MEPs are are now working to change the trend of the vote in committee.
A real Green and Fair CAP reform must focus on two points:
1. REAL GREENING : No to the "less money, no greening approach"
2. FAIRNESS: There is enough money for a greener and solidarity focused CAP
