Pentagon's biggest bunker-busting bomb has been upgraded with one task in 
mind: taking out suspected Iranian nuclear facilities built deep under the 
mountains of the Islamic Republic's northern region.At 30,000 pounds, the 
Massive Ordnance Penetrator packs brute force and advanced features meant 
to enable it to destroy Iran's most fortified nuclear site.The bomb is 
nearly a third bigger than the MOAB, or so-called "Mother of all 
Bombs," the 22,000-pound previous generation of bunker busters first built 
in 2003 but never used outside of tests. Officials are confident the 
newest bunker-buster can dismantle even the deepest and most fortified nuclear 
facility.- Senior U.S. official"Hopefully we never have to use it," a senior 
U.S. official familiar with the development of the new version told The 
Wall Street Journal. "But if we had to, it would work."The Pentagon 
redesigned the bomb with more advanced features intended to enable it to 
penetrate even deeper, giving it the ability to destroy Iran's most heavily 
fortified and defended nuclear site. U.S. officials see development of the 
weapon as critical to convincing Israel that the U.S. has the ability 
to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear bomb if diplomacy fails, and 
also that Israel's military can't do that on its own.American officials

April 26, 2013: Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell testifies on Capitol Hill 
in Washington, before the House Appropriations Committee, subcommittee on 
Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies budget hearing on forest service.APWASHINGTON 
 The U.S. Forest Service is in the business of preventing fires, 
not starting them.Yet the agency set off alarms in Congress and state 
capitols across the West by citing the automatic spending cuts as the 
basis for demanding that dozens of states return $17.9 million in federal 
subsidies. And it's all come down to a bureaucratic squabble over whether 
the money is subject to so-called sequestration because of the year it 
was paid -- 2013 -- as the Obama administration contends, or exempt 
from the cuts because of the year it was generated -- 2012 
-- as the states insist.Right now, it's a standoff heightened by history 
and hard fiscal realities. But with taxpayer cash scarce, both sides are 
digging in: The Forest Service has to slash 5 percent of its 
budget under sequestration. The states, meanwhile, have depended for decades 
on a share of revenue from timber cut on federal land. Perhaps 
least willing to compromise are members of Congress who are up for 
re-election next year and are loath to let go of money that 
benefits potential voters back home.It's not clear who gets to decide or 
whether the question ends up in court. But lines have been drawn."We 
regret having to take this action, but we have no alte
