WASHINGTON (AP) ? FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt was placed on a leave of absence Monday as Department of Transportation officials decide how to handle Babbitt's weekend arrest on charges of drunken driving in suburban northern Virginia.
DOT officials are in "discussions with legal counsel about Administrator Babbitt's employment status," said a statement released by Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood's office Monday afternoon.
The Federal Aviation Administration is part of the Transportation Department. Babbitt is about halfway through a five-year term.
Babbitt, 65, was charged with driving while intoxicated after a patrol officer spotted him driving on the wrong side of the street and pulled him over about 10:30 p.m. EST Saturday in Fairfax City, Va., police in the Washington, D.C., suburb said.
Babbitt, who lives in nearby Reston, Va., was the only occupant in the vehicle, the statement said. Police said he cooperated and was released on his own recognizance.
Babbitt apparently delayed telling administration officials about the arrest. White House spokesman Jay Carney said President Barack Obama and Transportation Department officials learned of the arrest Monday afternoon, about an hour before a 1:30 p.m. EST statement was released saying Babbitt had been placed on leave at his request.
Separately, Fairfax City police issued a statement on the arrest to the media at about noon Monday. They refused to disclose the results of Babbitt's blood alcohol test. The legal limit is .08.
LaHood has aggressively campaigned against drunken driving, and is working with police agencies and safety advocates on an annual holiday crack down on drinking and driving later this month. Safety advocates credit LaHood with doing more to raise the visibility of human factors in highway safety ? including drunken driving, drivers distracted by cell phone use, and parents who fail to buckle in their children ? than any previous transportation secretary.
Deputy FAA Administrator Michael Huerta will serve as acting administrator, the DOT statement said. In recent months Huerta has been leading the FAA's troubled NextGen effort to transition from an air traffic control system based on World War II-era radar technology to one based on satellite technology.
Babbitt was a former airline captain and internationally recognized expert in aviation and labor relations when Obama tapped him in 2009 to head the FAA, which has nearly 40,000 employees. He was a pilot for the now-defunct Eastern Airlines for 25 years, and had served as president of the Air Line Pilots Association. As head of ALPA in 1990s, he championed the "one level of safety" initiative implemented in 1995 to improve safety standards across the airline industry.
Babbitt's nomination in 2009 was warmly received by both industry officials and airline unions. His easy manner and insider's knowledge of the airline industry generated respect in Congress, where he regularly testified on safety issues and in support of NextGen.
Babbitt took over at the FAA when the agency was still reeling from the exposure of widespread safety gaps in the regional airline industry. The problems were revealed by a National Transportation Safety Board investigation of the February 2009 crash of a regional airliner near Buffalo, N.Y., that killed 50 people.
Babbitt and LaHood promised to immediately implement a series of safety initiatives. At Babbitt's urging airlines adopted a series of voluntary safety measures. But safety advocates say voluntary measures aren't enough. The FAA under Babbitt has also initiated several efforts to craft major new safety regulations, ranging from preventing pilot fatigue to boosting experience levels and training of airline pilots.
But several of those efforts have stalled as industry opponents lobbied White House officials against the proposed regulations, saying they would cost too much or be too burdensome.
The biggest crisis of Babbitt's FAA tenure occurred last spring when nine air traffic controllers were allegedly caught sleeping on the job or where unresponsive to radio calls while on duty over a period of several weeks. The head of FAA's Air Traffic Organization was forced to resign during the ensuing uproar.
As FAA's top official, Babbitt has the final say in disciplinary proceedings involving controllers who violate the agency's drug and alcohol regulations.

Obama prods GOP on payroll tax cut (AP)
WASHINGTON ? President Barack Obama accepted a move by Senate Democrats to scale back his Social Security payroll tax cut extension on Monday, then prodded Republicans to support it despite a requirement for the very wealthy to pay more taxes.
Obama also called on lawmakers to renew a program of extended unemployment benefits due to expire on Dec. 31. He said the checks, which kick in after six months of joblessness, are "the last line of defense between hardship and catastrophe" for some victims of the recession and a painfully slow recovery.
The president made his remarks at the White House as Republicans and Democrats in Congress said a holiday-season package was beginning to come into focus that could cost $180 billion or more over a decade. Elements include not only the payroll tax cut and unemployment benefit renewals, but also a provision to avert a threatened 27 percent reduction in fees to doctors who treat Medicare patients.
While there are differences over the details of the three principal components ? many Republicans are reluctant to extend the tax cut ? there is at least as much disagreement among senior lawmakers in the two political parties over ways to cover the cost so deficits don't rise.
House Republicans are drafting legislation to extend an existing pay freeze for federal workers as partial payment for the tax cut and unemployment benefits. Other cost-savers are expected to include a proposal Obama advanced earlier this year to raise pension costs for federal employees, officials said. The bill may also include another presidential recommendation, this one for a surcharge on Medigap policies purchased by future Medicare recipients.
Officials said that to offset the two-year, $38 billion price tag of the Medicare provision, House Republicans want to cut funds from the year-old health care legislation that stands as Obama's signature domestic policy accomplishment. Some Democrats want instead to count defense funds approved but unspent for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan ? a proposal that many GOP lawmakers deem an accounting gimmick.
The Medicare proposal enjoys strong popularity among lawmakers in both parties. House Republican leaders signaled last week they intend to include it in the overall package as a sweetener for members of the party's rank and file who are unhappy at the prospect of extending the payroll tax cut.
GOP critics say there is no evidence that the current tax cut has helped create jobs, and also say they fear the impact of a renewal on the deficit and on the fund that pays Social Security benefits. A majority of Republican senators voted last week against a plan backed by their own leadership to extend the cut.
But Obama noted House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has said that the renewal would help the economy, and said the party's Senate leaders had made similar comments.
"I couldn't agree more. And I hope that the rest of their Republican colleagues come around and join Democrats to pass these tax cuts and put money back into the pockets of working Americans," the president said.
Obama also added, "I know many Republicans have sworn an oath never to raise taxes as long as they live. How could it be that the only time there's a catch is when it comes to raising taxes on middle-class families? How can you fight tooth-and-nail to protect high-end tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans, and yet barely lift a finger to prevent taxes going up for 160 million Americans who really need the help?"
He spoke as Senate Democrats unveiled revisions that cut the cost of the administration's proposal by one-third, to an estimated $179 billion. As rewritten, it deepens the current Social Security payroll tax cut and extends it until the end of 2012, but jettisons Obama's request to give businesses relief at the same time.
Republicans were critical despite the changes.
"Frankly, the only thing bipartisan about this latest political gambit is opposition to the permanent tax hike on small businesses to pay for temporary one-year tax policy," said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, the senior Republican on the Senate Finance Committee. Republicans often refer to the proposal as a tax increase on small business owners in hopes of recasting Democratic claims that it would fall on "millionaires and billionaires."
Advanced by Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., the revised proposal also scales back the surtax on seven-figure earners that Democrats had originally proposed to cover the bill's entire cost, from 3.25 percent to 1.9 percent.
Also included are higher fees for consumers whose mortgages are from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as a GOP proposal from last week to make sure millionaires don't receive unemployment benefits or food stamps.

Obama tries to pressure Republicans on tax cut (Reuters)
WASHINGTON (Reuters) ? President Barack Obama sought on Saturday to boost pressure on Republican lawmakers to back an extension of a tax cut for workers that he views as vital to help the fragile economy.
Obama's proposal to renew a temporary payroll tax holiday has received a lukewarm reception from Republicans who say it would not do much to spur economic growth and would weaken the Social Security retirement program.
Without congressional action by the end of the year, the payroll tax would revert to 6.2 percent from the current rate of 4.2 percent.
Obama, whose 2012 re-election chances hinge largely on whether he can spur economic recovery and curb high unemployment, has warned that failure to extend the cut would deal a huge blow to the economy.
"Now is the time to step on the gas, not slam on the brakes," Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address. "Unfortunately, too many Republicans in Congress don't seem to share that same sense of urgency."
In an attempt to rally support for his effort, Obama urged Americans to visit the White House website to calculate how their household incomes would be affected by the expiration of the payroll tax cut.
"Try it out. Then let your members of Congress know where you stand," Obama said, adding that the average family would see their tax bills go up by $1,000 if the tax cut lapses.
The radio address was the latest in a series of public remarks Obama has been making to try to boost support for the payroll tax cut.
Obama, who proposes to pay for the measure with higher taxes on wealthier Americans, has taken on an increasingly populist tone.
He will try to keep the heat on Republicans when he gives a speech on Tuesday in Osawatomie, Kansas, the town where President Theodore Roosevelt gave his landmark "New Nationalism" speech in 1910 that hailed the government's role in promoting social justice and helping the poor, and also warned against the excesses of rich business interests.
"He'll lay out the choice we face between a country in which too few do well while too many struggle to get by and one where we're all in it together - where everyone engages in fair play, everyone does their fair share," the White House said.
REPUBLICAN DIVISIONS
On Thursday, the Senate defeated competing versions of legislation that would have extended the payroll tax cut, exposing divisions among Republicans as many declined to back a version of the bill put forth by their leadership.
While many Republicans are unenthusiastic about the payroll tax cut, others worry they could suffer fallout in congressional and presidential elections in November next year if they are seen as blocking a tax reduction for middle-class Americans.
Obama is grappling with weak approval ratings because of the lackluster economy and high unemployment. Any improvement in the economy would help his chances of winning another four-year term in office.
On Friday, the Labor Department reported the unemployment rate fell to 8.6 percent in November from 9 percent in October, offering a hopeful sign for the economy. But employers added workers at a modest pace of 120,000, suggesting the labor market still lacked vigor.
After gaining little traction for his efforts to pass in full the $447 billion jobs he unveiled in September, Obama is making an aggressive push on parts of the bill such as the payroll tax cut and an extension of jobless benefits that he sees as having the greatest chance of passage.

Creating a Strategy RTS for an RPG
Pretty lengthy I know, but I figured everyone here was educated, and educated people like reading long things (right?).
---An Intro---
I have RPed elsewhere, and have been a member on these forums for a while I think, but I haven't participated in anything. Anyway, I am NOT new to role playing, but the place I came from seems to have been a lot more different than this place, and the community is no doubt different.
Where I came from, every RP was fantasy based, or sci-fi-based, never normal and never straying from those two genres. Also, every RP took place in generally the same setting, had generally the same characters, and generally the same type of organizations, and the community was so small, that everyone was in every RP (generally). Sure, you might say that it was an awful place, but we all wanted freedom, we wanted to be able to do whatever we wanted. But we were a small insignificant community at the very bottom of the forum's index, and had to abide by the Mods rules. The Forum itself wasn't FOR RPing, but rather for Flash Games, except they let us RP in it as well. I often spruced it up, and broke the rules, but nevertheless my RP's always seemed very satisfying to the community there. Of course, maybe that's because my RP's were considered 'different' than others.
---End---
Anyway, I was working on an RP there, but then I was... 'put off' for a little while. Put off as in banned. But don't worry, I didn't do anything bad, and it was for something I did back in 08 or 09.
The RP is one that sets aside the traditional RP elements, and puts in new ones. Players were to RolePlay as Kings, Leaders, Emperors, whatever kind of leader figure they wanted and was in charge of leading their armies to victory in series of battles. However, the game wasn't purely about battles, it was about diplomacy, intimidation, strategy, tactics, and included lots of analyzing of the opponents moves and their army's make-up. But generally, the concept was to lead armies, demolish enemies, conquer towns, grow stronger, and eventually rule the world, or whatever you wanted to do.
Except I ran across some problems. How would these battles work? How would I choose the victor? How would I explain why the victor was indeed the victor? How do incorporate the use of tactics and strategy? Well, I brainstormed for a while and came up with a form of a 'system' that would determine who won the battle. It all revolved around what type of troops the player sent out into battle, who they were fighting, how long they were fighting, and things like that. The system also allowed battles to be 'stand-offs' and allowed for the use of negotiation.
Basically, there were three different types of troops. These troops were divided into two subgroups each, so that there were two types of footmen, two types of archers, and two types of cavalry. Each unit was good at one thing, but bad at two other things, so that way each unit was balanced and had to be used accordingly against the enemy. Each town under your control had access to 5 slots, and each slot could be assigned a specific unit type called 'Legions'. A Legion was just a very small army of that specific type of troop, so if you assigned one of your 5 slots as 'Swordsmen' then that city would contain a small Legion of Swordsmen. Now, each town had 5 slots, so that meant you could assign 5 different Legions to your towns, which in turn would make a full-sized army.
If someone wanted to engage in battle, the two armies would march to the outskirts of the town, and form camps at opposite ends of the battlefield. Camps were safe-havens, and could not be attacked, this was were garrisoned troops and the leader stayed at before and during the battle. Battles themselves would not begin until one side sent in one or more Legions to the battlefield. BEFORE a battle begins though, the leaders may discuss possible ways to avoid a battle, such as retreating, allying, or whatever they wanted to do; if they could not decide, then a stand-off would persist, and would not go away until one side attacked or retreated. Sometimes, battles may be won on intimidation.
When someone attacked though, a battle would begin. Basically, as the leader, you would determine what Legion(s) you want to deploy to the battlefield. The enemy in turn would then deploy his own Legion(s) to the battlefield. You would then retaliate by making units retreat back to your camp (if the enemy sent out a counter-force, although by retreating you would not be able to use these troops again in this battle), send in more units (such as your own counter-force), or by micromanaging the troops on the battlefield (ordering specific Legion(s) to attack specific enemies, as long as they were already on the battlefield to begin with). If you successfully micromanage a Legion to counter the enemy Legion, then you would eliminate the enemy's opposing Legion entirely. Because of this, it is important to have diverse armies, and to make sure you deploy the correct Legions at at the right time, and to make sure analyze the opposing armies very good. Made you' stay one step ahead' during a battle.

NBA players authorize return of union (AP)
NEW YORK ? These are the kinds of negotiations NBA fans have been waiting for.
Teams began talking to agents Wednesday as the lockout inched closer to its end, and basketball moved back into focus. Dwight Howard and Chris Paul were linked to trade speculation, while free agents such as Tyson Chandler and Nene were in the news after months of attorneys getting all the ink.
Now, the players are taking over and the league was set to reopen its facilities for workouts Thursday.
Some may arrive out of shape, just as was the case in January 1999 after the NBA's only other shortened season. But they're anxious to get back, with a little more than three weeks until they start playing games.
"The guys are going to come in and I'm sure they're going to be in good shape. They want to play," new Houston coach Kevin McHale told reporters.
"These guys have played basketball their entire lives. They love to play basketball and they're excited to get after it."
The league still hopes to open training camps and free agency next Friday, leaving both sides scrambling to get business finished in time.
The lawsuits have been settled, contingent upon the ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement by Dec. 9. Players are in the process of collecting the signatures needed to approve the reformation of the union, which must be done before the sides can resume bargaining on the remaining issues that must be settled before each side can vote.
NBA officials are working to complete a two-game exhibition schedule for each team that will lead to a 66-game regular season, starting with a five-game slate on Christmas.
"Considering that a lot of this is brand new to us, the last 24 hours has been a little bit of a scramble," Oklahoma City general manager Sam Presti said. "We have a lot of things that we have to do from getting players in and just basically preparing ourselves for what's ahead."
Philadelphia 76ers president Rod Thorn was working in the league office during the last lockout and knows how much work it will take to stay on the schedule Commissioner David Stern revealed after reaching a tentative agreement with the players early last Saturday.
"I definitely remember that time and how hectic it was on the NBA side," Thorn said. "If you think it was hectic over here, it was really hectic on that side."
Trying to make the process smoother, the NBA agreed to allow players to re-enter the buildings Thursday. Coaches aren't allowed, but players, who will have to sign a waiver removing teams of liability in case of injury, can meet with the teams' training personnel and conduct unsupervised workouts. The decision was made in consultation with the union Tuesday, and league spokesman Tim Frank denied it had anything to do with the settlement of the litigation.
"We agreed that it was in everyone's interest that players have the opportunity to get back to work," he said.
The lockout began July 1, which would have been the opening of free agency. It finally arrived in a minimized form Wednesday morning, when teams were allowed to talk to agents. Contracts can't yet be offered or signed ? not that anyone is ready to rush into it as they digest the new signing and spending rules that will become official in the new deal.
Chandler, the starting center for NBA champion Dallas, and Denver's Nene headed a solid core of free agent big men. Jamal Crawford, the former top sixth man from Atlanta, was available for teams seeking backcourt scoring punch, and teams seeking a reliable veteran swingman could sort through Grant Hill, Shane Battier, Caron Butler and Tayshaun Prince.
But the class isn't spectacular, which is why the focus was already on next summer, when Howard, Paul and Deron Williams can become free agents.
There were reports that Paul planned to leave New Orleans, and that the teams were angling to trade for him. Nets general manager Billy King denied an ESPN.com report that he was preparing to offer Brook Lopez and two first-round picks to Orlando in hopes of getting Howard to play with Williams.
"I'll go on the record that I haven't talked to Orlando about a trade since February, right before the trade deadline," King said. "I have not had any conversations at all with my good friend Otis (Smith, the Magic general manager).
"So, I don't know where that is coming from."
The league could announce the opening-day schedule this week. The full regular-season schedule may not be unveiled until next week.

Slovak doctors agree on compromise pay increase (AP)
BRATISLAVA, Slovakia ? Slovak doctors have accepted a government proposal for a pay increase and will return to work.
More than 1,200 doctors of some 7,000 from public hospitals resigned from their posts on Thursday over low pay, forcing hospitals to delay planned operations and focus on necessary treatment.
Prime Minister Iveta Radicova announced early Saturday that a compromise was reached "after tough and long talks."
The deal will ensure salaries for doctors in the state-run hospitals of up to 2.3 times higher than average.
The doctors union had demanded three times more, but the government said it could not afford that because of the debt crisis in Europe.
The doctors will return immediately after their union approves new work contracts with hospitals.

Jobless claims edge above 400,000 (Reuters)
WASHINGTON (Reuters) ? New claims for unemployment benefits rose unexpectedly last week, popping above 400,000 for the first time in just over a month and reinforcing the view that the battered labor market was healing only slowly.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits climbed to a seasonally adjusted 402,000 from an upwardly revised 396,000 in the prior week, the Labor Department said on Thursday.
"They're not in a danger zone, but the trend is not becoming healthier," Pierre Ellis, an economist at Decision Economics in New York, said of the claims data.
Initial claims below the 400,000 mark are normally seen as pointing to some healing in the jobs market.
U.S. stocks futures fell after the data was published, while prices for government debt pared losses.
The U.S. economy has gathered steam in the second half of the year thanks to robust consumer spending and factory output, with the wider economy expanding at a 2 percent annual rate in the third quarter. It could accelerate in the fourth quarter.
That could help the country avoid a new recession, which is expected in the euro zone. Economists expect Friday's payroll report for November to show 122,000 jobs were created during the month, more than the previous month.
Early reports by big U.S. retailers showed November sales were better than expected, buoyed by a strong turnout on "Black Friday," the busiest shopping day of the year.
Total sales over the weekend by retailers reached $52.4 billion, up from $45 billion last year, according to the National Retail Federation.
Still, economists see a risk of a U.S. recession next year, especially if lawmakers allow extended unemployment benefits and a payroll tax cut to expire at the end of 2011.
The euro zone sovereign debt crisis also could derail the country's recovery from the deep 2007-2009 recession, which has left the unemployment rate stuck around 9 percent.
European policymakers are trying to contain the debt troubles, and the European Central Bank signaled on Thursday it could take stronger action if political leaders agree next week on much tighter budget controls in the 17-nation euro zone.
In much of the world, economic growth appears to be slowing.
Manufacturing activity is contracting across Europe and most of Asia, data showed on Thursday, and a Chinese official declared that the world economy faces a worse situation than in 2008 when Lehman Brothers collapsed.
In the U.S. labor report, the four-week moving average of claims, a closely followed measure of labor market trends, increased 500 to 395,750.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast weekly claims at 390,000.
"If claims start to rise from here it would not be a good sign for the economy," said Gary Thayer, a macro strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors in St. Louis.
The number of people still receiving benefits under regular state programs after an initial week of aid rose 35,000 to 3.74 million in the week that ended November 19.
A Labor Department official said there was nothing unusual in the data, although government statisticians had to estimate claims data for Alaska and Washington DC.
Economists had forecast so-called continuing claims falling to 3.65 million from a previously reported 3.69 million.
A total of 7.01 million people claimed unemployment benefits under all programs during the week ending Nov 12, up 276,832 from the prior week.
