A new in-house calibre represents a further step forward in the evolution of a model that has already become part of Officine Panerai's history: the Radiomir P.999 42 mm Pink Gold combines the unmistakable design of an icon in high-end, sport watches with the new mechanical movement, the P.999, designed and produced at the Neuchtel manufacture.

With a diameter of 12 lignes and a thickness of only 3.4 millimetres, the new hand-wound P.999 movement features 19 jewels, a 60-hour power reserve and a balance wheel oscillating at 21,600 alternations/hour. Two sophisticated details enhance the P.999 movement set in the new Radiomir in pink gold. The workings are regulated by a so-called 'swan's neck' device allowing for micrometrical adjustment of the active length of the spring. Furthermore, each single movement is millesimised.

The case in pink gold is 42 mm in diameter, slightly smaller than the historic, first Radiomir watches. The thickness has also been reduced thanks to the development of the new movement. The result is a thinner, lighter watch, perfect for the most elegant of situations while not betraying the watch's military origins and sporting character. All of this thanks to the pink gold of the case that is satin-finished, a detail that tones down the sparkle of the precious metal making it more understated and refined. The small polished bezel, on the other hand, creates a pleasing contrast effect. The warm feel of the satin-finished gold also emphasizes the dial with its dark brown colour rather than the black of the traditional models, a colour tone enhanced by the anti-scratch and anti-glare sapphire crystal.

The layout of the dial Wholesale Mens Jeans is still the classic one and represents another of the characteristic features of Panerai watches. The exceptional legibility in the dark is in fact achieved through a 'sandwich' structure with the luminescent material placed between two metal layers, the top one perforated in correspondence with the numerals and indexes. Also luminescent and plated in pink gold, to complement the case, are the index-shaped hands and perpetually- moving small seconds hand in the auxiliary dial at 9 o'clock. The watch, with wire lugs that are easy to remove when substituting the strap and water-proof up to a depth of 100 metres, features the classic screw-down, truncated-cone crown ensuring maximum water- tightness.

WHO says the Americans don't care about the World Cup? The controversial finish to the States' group game against Slovenia on Friday, which saw Maurice Edu's perfectly good winning goal cancelled out for a nonexistent foul, has rankled Uncle Sam's sporting elite, with Andy Roddick breaking off from his Wimbledon preparations to delivering the verbal equivalent of an overhead smash on the standards of refereeing in South Africa.

"I understand the rules of football so well that apparently when two Slovenian guys mug an American guy the American guy gets called for a foul," Roddick said, just resisting the urge to cry "You cannot be serious" and summoning a virtual replay on Hawk-Eye. "That's how well I understand the rules out there."

Wisely, Roddick avoided watching England's dismal goalless draw with Algeria, the other game in the United States' group.

"I did not watch the England game," he said. "I decided to take advantage of no traffic and go into the city and have some dinner.

"You'd be amazed how quickly you can get down there when an England game is on."

JEFF PARSONS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ARMY CONTRACTING COMMAND

WILLIAM SOLIS, DIRECTOR, DEFENSE CAPABILITIES AND MANAGEMENT TEAM, GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE

[*] DICKS: The committee will come to order.

Today, the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee will receive testimony concerning contingency contracting from three witnesses: Mr. Shay Assad, director of -- director of defense procurement and acquisition policy, Office of the Undersecretary of Defense Acquisition, Technology and Logistics; Mr. Jeffrey Parsons, executive director of the U.S. Army Contracting Command; Mr. William Solis, director, Defense Capabilities and Management Team, General Accounting Office.

Mr. Assad and Mr. Parson (sic) and their staffs have worked diligently to improve contingency contracting since July of 2009. There is now clear guidance, which provides consistent ground rules for both the operational and support communities.

Standard procedures have been established and articulated to ensure contracts contain the appropriate conditions for work to be performed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Mr. Assad and Mr. Parsons have published the Joint Contingency Contracting Handbook, which includes tasks, checklists, training, templates and links to relevant regulations and Web sites. Also, there is now a contingency contracting course from Defense Acquisition University and 10 Army training courses and leader education instructions for non-acquisition soldiers.

Mr. Assad is also leading the DOD-wide effort to rebuild the acquisition and contracting force. And we -- we wish you well on that. That's something that needs to be done.

The job of rebuilding the acquisition workforce is daunting. By 2014, the acquisition workforce is expected to grow by nearly 20,000 personnel, 10,000 due to insourcing and 9,887 new hires.

Despite the improvements in contingency contracting, challenges remain. One challenge is simply the magnitude of contract servi
