For several years, the Medical Quality Commission has worked quietly to improve care at prepaid medical groups on the West Coast.
Now, the little-known accreditation group hopes to expand its role as capitation spreads throughout the country.
That expansion could be aided by the anticipated merger of its parent, the Unified Medical Group Association, which represents about 90 prepaid medical groups, with the American Group Practice Association, which has 250 large medical groups nationwide. The associations expect to vote on the merger by this summer.
Unlike other accrediting bodies, the Medical Quality Commission focuses exclusively on medical groups that do prepaid care (See box).
The commission actively champions prepaid medicine, or capitation. Chief Executive Officer Alan Zwerner, M.D., calls it "the magic" that creates better care at lower cost.
Zwerner distinguishes capitation from "micro-managed care, carved-out care, disintegrated care, 1-800-NURSE, PPOs-those things we feel are intrusive, counterproductive and make physicians and patients unhappy."
The commission started in the 1980s as a function of the UMGA and became a separate corporation in 1991. Its board is appointed by the UMGA, which is the sole corporate shareholder.
The commission does education and research and recently embarked on collaborative projects to solve capitation problems. Last year, when legislation was passed in California requiring health plans to define qualifications for primary-care physicians, the commission united representatives of doctors and health plans to agree on a definition. It also helped formulate a single physician credentialing application.
Its bread-and-butter, accreditation, is increasingly recognized as a badge of quality by employers and health plans, Zwerner said.
Twenty-six groups have been accredited-86% of those surveyed. Seven were accredited in 1995. Recently, the commission developed an accreditation program for independent practice associations that work under capitation.
Last year, LaSalle Clinic of Menasha, Wis., became the first group outside California and Oregon to receive accreditation.
LaSalle's medical director, David Hathaway, M.D., said the process gave him leverage to improve utilization practices and other operations in the group, which has 185 physicians and other providers. He thinks accreditation will become more important in marketing. It already is in California. Beaver Medical Group in Redlands, with about 120 physicians, touted its accreditation in advertising. The group also hopes its quality standards bolster its esteem among HMOs.
Both prepaid medical groups and HMOs would like MQC accreditation to be accepted in place of site visits and credentialing by HMOs. That would expedite the process for everyone. But the National Committee for Quality Assurance, which accredits health plans, will not allow HMOs to delegate oversite to a third party.
"We have been trying and the plans have been trying on our behalf to get the NCQA to understand-specifically in the West where you have network-area HMOs and you have so much delegated-that the oversight needs to be better interpreted and streamlined," said MQC Chief Operating Officer Lori Bloomfield.
The commission has fostered ties with employers and HMOs, some of which provide funding. Officials of Southern California Edison Co., Rockwell Corp. and General Electric Co. sit on its board, as well as executives of HMOs, including Blue Cross of California and Health Systems International's Health Net.
Last year, the MQC received a $2.5 million grant from Blue Cross of California for its work in education and quality improvement programs. Also, the Pacific Business Group on Health is working with the commission on an outcomes and patient-satisfaction study.
The UMGA had planned to require accreditation for all its members, but dropped the idea. It will require as of July that its board members be from groups accredited in managed care.
If the AGPA and the UMGA were to merge, the merged entity would decide whether to require accreditation. AGPA Executive Vice President Don Fisher said the new group probably wouldn't require it, although he's impressed with the commission's vision of accreditation as a learning process.
"I don't think a national organization like AGPA ought to be in the business of telling their members which accrediting body meets their needs," Fisher said.
Zwerner hopes the anticipated merger will encourage groups outside California and Oregon to seek accreditation. "I think if what we're doing is valuable, people will seek it out. Whether or not some trade organization requires it for representation on the board is not going to (determine) success," he said.

I am so excited to be launching a second art show at our local coffee house, KenapocoMocha. My previous (and first official) art show at the KMocha featured what I call images of found art. Candid situations of flowers, landscapes, sunsets etc. I've always been influenced by and in love with "The Decisive Moment" that Henri Cartier-Bresson mastered and shared with the world of photography.
"Photography is not like painting," Cartier-Bresson told the Washington Post in 1957. "There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative," he said. "Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever."( Bernstein, Adam (August 5, 2004). "The Acknowledged Master of the Moment". The Washington Post. Retrieved May 4, 2010)
My first most successful "Decisive Moment" was captured in the Chicago Union Station during a very, very bitterly cold winter. It was a class assignment to do street photography. I caught these two strangers sharing a smile and conversation. Once I saw this print come up in the developer in the darkroom, I was hooked on capturing more of those moments.
This new collection focuses more on what photography is to me and how it has evolved for me. A photo rambling from work to travel to personal to digital to iPhone. Photography as a business has been important to me for over 15 years, but it has really always been a part of my life, and I might even guess yours in some way. But it took me quite a while to have the confidence to show my other images. The stuff I shyly call Art. So…Photography is…about Sharing. Learning.Teaching. Inspiring.
My aunt on my father's side became a studio portrait photographer back in the 1950s. She photographed all of my sisters and me when we were babies. These professional, hand painted wall portraits hung on my parents walls my entire childhood-never changing. Becoming the symbols of our childhood. Dad, being very proud of what his sister accomplished, was more than happy to buy me a 35mm Minolta X-370 camera for my big High School graduation gift. So Photography Is…a Gift. Family. Beginnings.
Another element to this art show is to encourage some interaction between me, the artist, and you the viewer. We've created an interactive Thought Share Space where you can post a note about the art or a response to the week's topic. Photography is one art form that seems to touch almost everyone in our culture in some way. Now with the smart phone technology seemingly at everyone's fingertips, young and old, we explore what this means to us. Our first topic is Photography Is…(insert your comment here.) I would add…Photography Is…Connections. Constant. Ever-changing.
I hope you have a chance to stop by, enjoy a coffee and view the images. Mark your calendars, we are also planning a fun Introduction to iPhone Photography class March 14th. If you are in the neighborhood, sign up and join us.

On December 16 1944, when the 51st Engineer Combat Battalion faced the Germans' last gasp effort to win the war, it had been operating 30 sawmills in support of the US 1-A. Within days the battalion was spread over the Belgian countryside, defending roads, bridges, and towns from the Nazi attempt to break through and reach the Meuse River then up to Antwerp and its Port in a way to split the British and American forces. The men set up roadblocks, using mines and abatis; mined bridges and culverts; and defended river crossings with pistols, rifles, .30 and .50 cal machine guns, rifles-grenades, 2'6 Rocket Launchers (60-MM Bazookas).
This narrative by Ken Hechler, a combat historian and infantry captain at the time, was drawn from numerous oral history interviews of participants. Capt Hechler and T/4 Harvey R. George did the interviews shortly after the battles. This volume is another in the Office of History's series of Studies in Military Engineering. It describes the 51-ECB's successful defensive operations during a period in the Battle of the Bulge. This unit's story is especially interesting because it identifies the specific locations of all defenses, allowing the reader to follow in detail the tactics of Engineer commanders.
During the German breakthrough in the Ardennes, the 51-ECB held, delayed and even stopped the enemy at a number of vital points along the lines of penetration. For four days, December 18/21, Able and Baker 51 held a barrier line from Barvaux to Hotton and from Marche en Famenne to Rochefort, blowing up and defending three footbridges, two Highway main bridges, and one railway bridge, while holding a 25-mile front against enemy armored and infantry thrusts.
At the same time, Charlie 51 was holding the little Belgian town of Trois-Ponts, denying the enemy the use of the vital east-west Highway, the N-66 to Werbomont. Charlie 51 stood its ground in Trois-Ponts, tricked the enemy into believing it had superior forces and armor, and after being relieved by Col William Ekman's 505-PIR (82-AB), covered the withdrawal of that regiment from the town after its abortive attack east of the Salm River. There was nothing in the background of the battalion that was related to these achievements. Since its activation as the 1/51-ECB on June 13 1942, this unit had passed a rather uninteresting career. They trained at Camp Bowie, Texas; shivered through a hard winter at the Plattsburg Barracks, New York; did the dirty work on target ranges and road construction for the XIII Corps' West Virginia maneuvers of 1943; and acted as a demonstration troops for the Engineer School at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
In Europa, the battalion landed on Utah Beach in Normandy on D+21, but life degenerated into dumping crushed rock on the Carentan's roads, maintaining a few water points, and sweeping some mines. Two incidents stood out during the routine months on the Continent : quick thinking and heroic action saved many lives and equipment during a Normandy ammunition-dump fire, and eight men of the battalion quelled and captured 60 German paratroopers after a brief, sharp firefight in the mid-September.
The battalion did have one common bond that assisted it during the December fight against overwhelming odds : nearly all of the officers and men were veterans of some two years of service in the battalion; the companies had worked together as units; and teamwork was clicking smoothly.
On the eve of the breakthrough in the Ardennes, the battalion was operating about 30 sawmills in the vicinity of Marche-en-Famenne, Dinant, Rochefort, Ciney, Hotton, and Erezée, thereby contributing materially to the 1-A winter installations and timber-cutting program.
The battalion had cut 2.600.000 board feet since the inauguration of the program in October. The average for the first 17 days of December was 58.717 board feet per day, with a maximum of 80.600 board feet in one day. At that time, Col Sam Tabets' 158-ECB had been charged with the defense of the area in Marche-en-Famenne.
Routine activities in the running of the sawmills were conducted by the 51-ECB on the first day of the German breakthrough, but on December 17, at 1730 the battalion was alerted by the CO of the 158-ECB for ground activity. The line companies were immediately alerted and a staff meeting was called to make plans for action. The performance of the 51-ECB during the following days can better be appreciated by knowing the commanding officer, Col Harvey R. Fraser, and his executive officer, Maj Robert B. Yates. They were two different personalities who complemented each other in directing the battalion.
During the breakthrough, Col Harvey R. Fraser was with that portion of his battalion along the Barvaux – Hotton – Rochefort front; Maj Robert B. Yates was at Trois-Ponts. The peculiar angle to the performance of these officers is that they both arrived at the battalion within two days of the start of the breakthrough. Maj Yates, a veteran member of the battalion, had been hospitalized in August and returned to his post on December 15. Col Fraser was a newcomer to the battalion, having assumed command on December 14. Both officers were almost immediately called on to command units and slow the German advance.
When Col Fraser arrived, the first thing he did was call the battalion officers together, introduce himself, and outline his policies. He sketched his own past and had an opportunity to talk officers long enough to find out their them up personally. Prior to coming to the battalion, with each of the background and size Col Fraser had a brilliant background, but it was almost entirely confined to staff work. After graduating from the USMA in 1939, he spent a period of close to three years on Oahu (Hawaii) at Schofield Barracks. He was due to return December 8 1941, but remained by request for nine more months. The remainder of his pre-breakthrough career was spent as an Engineer Battalion commander working on routine road and airstrip construction, plus doing a few shifts with Communications Zone base sections checking training and allocating troops.
In October, the battalion moved to Fort Dix, New Jersey, to prepare to go overseas. From there, the battalion's organizational equipment went to the Los Angeles Port of Embarkation, and the troops went to Hampton Roads, Virginia, and shipped out. While on the high seas, the battalion received orders to proceed to the Mediterranean Base Section, Oran, Algeria, for transshipment to India.
The 51-ECB debarked on December 5 at Oran but, with its equipment still headed from Los Angeles to Asia, received an unscheduled break in its training. While the Battalion waited in North Africa, the plans of the Allies changed. The Battalion, along with four other Engineer Battalions awaiting movement to India, were ordered to England for the invasion of Europe. On January 12 1944, the battalion left Casablanca on an eightday voyage to Liverpool. The 51 spent five months in England. The unit was assigned to Gen Omar N. Bradley's 1-A. Training resumed, with combined and specialist activities, including night operations and related bridge construction, Bailey and fixed bridge construction, road construction, mines and minefields, and explosives and demolitions.
On June 19 1944, the 51 loaded onto three Liberty ships, cooled their heels aboard ship for a week, then crossed the English Channel to Normandy on June 26. For the next four months the battalion provided combat engineer support to the 1-A. Most of the work consisted of road repair and maintenance, engineer reconnaissance, mine clearing, and water supply. During this time, the battalion suffered casualties that included six wounded from the explosion of stray artillery shells and the strafing of a German plane.
On September 4, the battalion moved 152 miles from the vicinity of Chartres, west of Paris, to an area near Soissons, northeast of Paris. The Germans had been retreating rapidly, destroying bridges and culverts and cratering roads. As a result, the major activity of the 51 changed from road repair and maintenance to bridge and culvert construction, replacing Bailey bridges and other temporary bridges for reuse in forward areas. On September 17, the 51 moved to Germany, 110 miles east of Soissons, almost to the Luxembourg border. Here it built bridges for two weeks, then moved to Malmedy, Belgium, where for three weeks the Battalion kept busy training as infantry. Then it began the job it would keep until the German surprise, cutting wood for Gen Courtney Hodges' 1-A billets.
On December 12, irked by this non-combat activity, Col Fraser went to the 1-A Hqs in Spa to see the 1-A Engineer willing to ask for a combat assignment. He was so sure he would not return to Brittany Base Section that he took all his equipment to Spa. Two days later he was commanding the 51-ECB. When I saw what they were doing at the sawmills and along the roads said Col Fraser I asked whether it really was a combat outfit. I was soon to find out.
When the 158-ECB departed to assist in the defense of the Bastogne area, the 51-ECB was left with the responsibility of defending the Marche-en-Famenne area. Capt John W. Barnes, battalion S-3, states, Col Fraser sat down with a map and decided that the Ourthe River was a natural defense line, and he prepared plans to erect roadblocks and prepare key bridges for demolition. Several days later the Group sent down an overlay directing that defenses be established at precisely the same points which Col Fraser had selected.
It was not only his organizing ability but also his leadership that made Col Fraser a factor in the success of the battalion. Throughout the defense of the 25 mile front, he was ubiquitous. At times it is impossible to trace his trail because so many men claim that he was with them at widely separated points. During the severest test of the battalion in Hotton, on December 21, Col Fraser was on the enemy side of the river for a period. He kept the widely separated forces unified.
Maj Yates had a different task at Trois-Points. His forces were concentrated in a small area, and his problem was more one of deceiving the enemy into thinking that there was a superior force defending Trois-Ponts. He also had the job of inspiring confidence in 150 men who after the first day of action had no tank destroyers or antitank guns and were opposed by German armor.
Before the breakthrough, Maj Yates had held various staff positions within the battalion for the preceding two years, having been its CO for several months in 1943. His 6 foot 3 inch and 200-pound figure towered over the scene at Trois-Ponts. An affable Texan, easy-going in nature but determined in spirit, Maj Yates held together his little company by prodding, cajoling, and encouraging them to resist long after they had reached reasonable limits of human endurance.
I would find them asleep standing up after 94 hours on the job, said Maj Yates, but they were standing up. Col William E. Ekman, CO of the 505-PIR (82-AB), which entered Trois-Ponts on December 20, paid high tribute to the spirit and courage of Charlie 51, and singled out Maj Yates for his leadership. He had everything under control, said Col Ekman, and appeared ready and able to hold the town indefinitely.
When the 82-AB came in, we expected to find this unit decimated and discouraged. Instead, Maj Yates approached me and uttered a classic phrase, Say, I'll bet you fellows are glad we're here. Adding a note of commendation to the many other tributes for Maj Yates, Col Fraser observed, I do not know another officer who could have handled such a difficult situation as admirably as you did.
Charlie 51 left Melreux at 2200 on December 17 and arrived in Trois-Ponts at 2330. The company, commanded by Capt Sam Scheuber, immediately started to establish defensive positions on the west bank of the Amblève River, which skirts the east edge of town. Charlie Company's strength at this time was approximately 140 men, about 20 still being absent at the sawmills. The company had eight bazookas, six heavy .50 cal machine guns, and four light .30 cal.
One 57-MM AT gun from the 526-AIB also became available. In personnel, the company was reinforced by a squad each from the 526-AIB and Able 291-ECB, as well as several stragglers who were picked up coming through the town. Trois-Ponts is studded with bridges, underpasses, railroads, rivers, cliffs, and road junctions.
The Amblève and the Salm rivers join there, as do railroad lines running south to Vielsalm, northwest to Aywaille, and northeast to Stavelot. Highway N-68 enters Trois-Ponts from Stavelot by two under passing railroad just before it joins the north-south Highway N-33, merges with the later for a few hundred yards, crosses the Amblève River, and then turns west across another bridge over the Salm River, become the N-66, and proceeds toward Werbomont.
The enemy approached Trois-Ponts by this road and was thwarted in its attempts to go west to Werbomont because the 51-ECB had blown up two bridges over the rivers. The enemy then turned its columns north after clearing the railroad underpasses and proceeded toward La Gleize heading for Stoumont. The 1111-EG had its command post in Trois-Ponts at the start of the action, and its small staff hurried the preparations for defense before the arrival of Charlie 51. Somebody asked Col Harry Anderson (CO 1111-ECG), and former CO of the 51-ECB, whether he intended to withdraw. His reply was characteristic, we have come several thousand miles to fight these Nazis, not to withdraw from them.
On the morning of December 18, columns of the 7-AD were passing through Trois-Ponts on their way to stem the enemy attack in the Vielsalm – St Vith area. The 7-AD had two accidents in twisting through Trois-Ponts. These problems rebounded to the benefit of the defenders of the town. A half-track with a personnel complement of 12 men, towing a 57-MM AT Gun, broke down. This half-track belonged to Baker 526.
The 526-AIB, an (S)(Separate) battalion was not a part of the 7-AD. The 526-AIB was using the same road, in the opposite direction, on its way to Malmedy. Col Anderson (1111-EG) directed his S-4, Capt Robert N. Jewett, to take command of the squad and supervise the placing of the gun. Capt Jewett put the gun and crew in position on Highway N-68 on the road to Stavelot, about a mile toward Stavelot from the two railroad underpasses.
The second accident benefited the defenders of Trois-Ponts a little less directly. An M-7 105-MM self-propelled armored field artillery Priest, slipped off the road while making a sharp turn at the bridge over the Salm. The vehicle went over on its side into the river and was abandoned. Later in the day, when the 51-ECB was forced to blow the bridge, the ensuing fire set off the ammunition in the tank.
However, it did not go off all at once but exploded at intervals all afternoon and into the evening of the 18. Enough time elapsed between explosions to allow for loading an artillery piece, possibly tricking the enemy into thinking that artillery was available to the group defending Trois-Ponts.
Little by little, Charlie 51 picked up a few more reinforcements. Three men from the 341-ECB who had originally been in Trois-Ponts guarding the bridge were attached to the company. A soldier in a British uniform drove his truck through the town several times before being apprehended and attached to the company too. He had a carbine, a second lieutenant's insignia, and a captain's map case, but the news of Skorzeny's Operation Greif had not yet caused suspicion toward such characters. A GI who said he was from a nearby artillery unit walked up and down the town with a girl on his arm until he too was called in and attached to Charlie. A somewhat larger group was attached during the morning of December 18.
At 0800, Lt Albert J. Walters, a platoon leader in Able 291, left his battalion CP at Basse-Bodeux to assist in preparing a bridge located one mile southeast of Trois-Ponts, for demolition. En route, he was intercepted by Col James A. Kirkland, executive officer of the 1111-EG. Col Kirkland attached Lt Walters and his squad to Charlie, and they continued to defend the bridge on the south flank of the defenders of Trois-ponts.
The defense of the town initially consisted of one platoon with two bazookas on high ground covering the approach from Aisomont; Capt Jewett's group with the lone antitank gun covering the road from Stavelot; a rear guard covering the N-66 approach from Werbomont; and the remainder of the company deployed with bazookas, machine guns, and M-1s in the buildings of the town that fronted the Salm and the Amblève rivers. Capt Jewett sent two of the 526-AIB men, Cpl Bruce W. Frazier and Pfc Ralph J. Bieker, 250 yards up the road toward Stavelot with a daisy chain of ten mines and instructions to jerk them across the road when a tank approached and then run back to where the 57-MM AT gun was placed.
Four 526-AIB men (McCollum, Hollenback, Buchanan, and Higgins) were manning the antitank gun. Lt Richard Green, platoon leader of 3rd Platoon, Charlie 51, along with Pfc Andrew Salazar was immediately behind the gun. The half-track, with its driver from the 526 and with Capt Jewett, was backed into the N-68 on the opposite side of the road from the antitank gun, ready to pull out in the event of a tank attack that might overrun the position.
Several more men from Charlie Co and from the 526-AIB were in a ditch along the road back of the antitank gun. Just beyond the underpass on the Stavelot side S/Sgt Fred Salatino was manning the .50-caliber antiaircraft gun mounted on a GMC truck, along with T/5 Jacob Young. A wire was strung from this truck back to the company CP in the Trois-Ponts railroad station.
On the right, going eastward, Stavelot & Malmedy and the N-68 which is going northeastward to Mont, Mont Rigi, Belle-Croix then down the hill into Eupen. This N-68 is the main and only highway which follows the Amblève River in the combat area. Going eastward from Malmedy, Highway and River goes almost side by side to Stavelot, then to Trois-Ponts.
When entering Trois-Ponts, you go through the two railroad underpasses up to a perfectly T shaped crossroads. Going right (eastward) the highway, now N-33, sends you through Petit-Coo, Grand-Coo, Roanne-Coo, La Gleize and Stoumont. Going left (westward) the N-68 sends you to the center of the town after, first, crossing the bridge over the Amblève River then another one crossing the Salm River. This second bridge passed you have two choices : (1) a sharp left turn will get you through Rochelinval, Petit-Halleux, Rencheux and Vielsam or (2) strait on after the bridge, the N-66, which through Mont-de-Fosse, Haute-Bodeux, Chauveheid, Neucy, Habiemont, gets you in Werbomont.
About 200 yards up the Stavelot road beyond the AT gun, Lt Green posted a combination outpost and getaway consisting of T/5 Robert Logan, T/5 Elmer Helton and Pfc Milbert Brown of Charlie 51. Brown as driver had his jeep; up until that time Helton had been an air compressor operator and Logan a truck driver, but they were pressed into service for reconnaissance.
The plan was to have the three watch the men with the daisy chain and then alert the gunners and the rest of the squad if a tank approached. Firing was heard in the vicinity of Stavelot during the early part of the morning. Shortly before noon, a German Mark VI Tiger nosed around the bend toward the AT gun. Frazier and Bieker strung their mines, but could not resist the temptation to take a few shots with their rifles at the heads of enemy tankers that protruded from the lead tank. Several other tanks soon followed the lead tank, which stopped at the daisy chain. Brown, Logan, and Helton say that the tank started firing its machine gun, so they returned with their jeep to Lt Green's position with the simple report, they're coming ! Lt Green replied, OK, notify them at the CP in case I can't get them on the telephone, and then come back here with the jeep.
By this time, the squad on and near the gun could see the lead tanks and hear others through the trees. Now let's be damn sure they're Jerries let's not mess this thing up, somebody said. Others echoed this thought. Perhaps as a result of this, the enemy tank in third place fired four rounds before the 57-MM AT gun could get off a round. One shell, an AP tracer, skipped on the river to their backs. Another zipped no more than six inches over their heads. Another hit a tree behind the gun, tipping over the tree and showering fragments in the area. Then the gun crew opened up, and one of their early rounds started the leading' enemy tank smoking.
There was some difficulty at first with ammunition for the antitank gun. There were seven rounds for the gun, and the crew said that if they couldn't repulse the attack with seven rounds that would be all they would ever get a chance to use. It soon became apparent from the strength of the enemy armored attack that more rounds would be needed. Capt Jewett said that he could observe eight tanks coming around the bend toward his position. There were no dismounted infantry accompanying along the road, but about a dozen infantrymen were working their way along the south side of the road.
Col Anderson, observing from across the river through field glasses, counted a total of 19 tanks that came through the position and later turned right on the road to Stoumont. The little crew of defenders started an ammunition bucket brigade, with Capt Jewett tossing the shells across the road to Lt Green, who forwarded them to Pvt Salazar, who handed them up to the gun crew. The morale of the defenders was not raised any when a resounding roar from the town told them that the northern two bridges had been blown, cutting them off from Trois-Ponts.
The 75-MM shells from the third tank hit closer and closer until one hit at the base of the gun, killing all four of the crew and stunning Pvt Salazar. Realizing the futility of further resistance, the remainder of the crew piled into the half-track and proceeded by their only escape route, toward La Gleize. The GMC truck followed. Lt Green and his survivors from Charlie 51 made a wide circle at Petit-Coo and returned to Trois-Ponts at 1500 by coming in from the west on Highway N-33, while Capt Jewett and the survivors of the 526-AIB found their way back to the new group CP at Modave.
Almost simultaneous with the battle along the Stavelot road, Charlie's 2d Platoon commanded by Lt Fred L. Nabors, was also attacked by enemy armor. Lt Nabors' platoon was deployed on the hill along the road to Aisomont. One bazooka was firing southeast from the road below from which it had a perfect field of fire. Another bazooka had a good flanking firing position slightly to the east.
During the morning of December 18, three enemy tanks approached the Platoon's position, and they were detected approximately 1/2 mile away. The first tank had reinforced armor plate on the front and was allowed to pass by toward a string of daisy-chain mines across the road. The bazooka then engaged the second tank, but did not knock it out. The third tank started to fire its machine guns and forced the men out of position by the intensity of the fire. Thereafter, the Platoon retired to the town side of the river and took up protection of Charlie Co's south flank. The defense collapsed because one of the bazookas failed to fire, another was knocked out of the loader's hands with machine gun fire, and the daisy chain was exploded by machine guns. None of the three enemy tanks, however, attempted to follow the men into Trois-Ponts.
The bridge over the railroad at the junction of the N-33 with the the Aisomont road was blown on December 18, but foot troops could still cross the structure. Lt Nabors' Platoon blew it up again the following day. A footbridge across the Salm River was also blown during the first day of action. At 1300, the main bridge over the Salm River was destroyed. Shortly thereafter, Maj Yates arrived in Trois-Ponts, unaware of the situation and merely bound for the daily liaison meeting at the 1111-EG. Col Anderson charged him with the defense of Trois-Ponts while, under 1-A's orders, the 1111 left Trois-Ponts for Modave. Maj Yates deployed his men in the houses along the river, providing flank and rear guards as well as good fields of fire for machine guns and bazookas.
One enemy tank, which turned left on the N-68 instead of taking the road heading to La Gleize when it reached the junction N-68 – N-33, was surprised with one .50 cal machine gun fire. The crew had dismounted, and five of them were hit by .50 manned by Sgt Evers Gossard. A sixth member of the crew remounted the tank and started to turn its gun toward the .50 cal machine gun, whereupon Sgt Gossard and his crew discreetly retired. The enemy tank hovered around for the remainder of the day, firing sporadically then withdrew into the darkness. We kept sniping at them across the river for the next few days, said Maj Yates, but every shot of ours seemed to draw about a thousand in return. So we decided to deceive them as to how great a force we had available.
The company had about six GMC trucks available and they were kept running in and out of town. After dark, they were run out of Trois-Ponts on Highway N-66 toward Werbomont without lights and then run back on the same road with their lights on, simulating the arrival of reinforcements.
Maj Yates hit on the idea of simulating the presence and arrival of armor in Trois-Ponts. This was done by putting chains on a single four-ton truck, and it was clanked back and forth repeatedly during the next few days. The closest facsimile to artillery or antitank guns that the company had were the bazookas, and as Maj Yates said, they made a pretty loud noise, so we used to shift them around from place to place after dark and it may have deceived the enemy into thinking we had a couple of light artillery pieces. In addition, he moved small groups of riflemen from place to place and had them fire in such a way as to create the impression of considerable strength in small arms.
On the afternoon of December 18, P-47s were observed to take a toll of four or five enemy tanks that were circling north and northwest along the N-33 toward Stoumont. Enemy armored columns passing along this road were strafed and dive-bombed quite effectively. But lots of us in Trois-Ponts felt pretty helpless with rifles and carbines on our shoulders, said Lt Green.
After the return of Lt Green's group and the withdrawal of Lt Nabors' platoon, the three platoons of the company were consolidated into two groups being placed on the river south of town, with its line swinging back to the west on the edge of the town. Most of Lt Green's 3rd Platoon was on the north side of Trois-Ponts, also swinging its line to the west on the outskirts. Listening posts were established 500 to 600 yards out from the MLR, and pulled into a tight perimeter defense after dark. This was done because the small number of men available for listening posts were widely separated and would have given the enemy opportunity to infiltrate patrols between them had they not been pulled in about 300 yards from their daytime positions.
At 0900, December 19, Lt Green and T/Sgt Matthew R. Carlyle crossed the river, covered by Maj Yates and three others, and went up the Stavelot road toward the knocked-out 57-MM gun. They found nothing in the railroad underpasses but noticed four men in American uniforms around the gun. A little farther up the road was an M-8 armored car and a jeep with freshly painted white stars. Hey, Joe, yelled Carlyle. Instantly, the men excitedly screamed, Amerikans ! and started to fire. The motors of the M-8 and the jeep turned over, but Lt Green and Sgt Carlyle did not wait to see if they were being followed. After that said Maj Yates, we did not need any patrols; we could see everything that was happening across the river.
A brief firefight occurred December 19 when men in Lt Nabors' platoon engaged the enemy on the hill just south of the road to Aisomont. When rifle fire was directed at this infantry group, the enemy replied with both small arms and artillery on Trois-Ponts. No casualties resulted from this brief scuffle, but it taught Charlie 51 to keep better hidden and change positions frequently in order to avoid artillery concentrations.
After the bridges had been blown, Col Anderson and Col Kirkland observed several enemy tanks approach one of the blown bridges. An elderly couple ran out in front of their house and motioned with their arms; it was difficult to tell at first whether they were waving at the tanks or trying to tell them that the bridge was blown. One of the dismounted tank men was observed shooting the woman with his pistol; the man caught her when she fell and then he was, also shot. Additional shots were fired into the motionless figures on the ground.
During the engagement, Maj Yates observed a Belgian boy of about 12 running toward the river chased by a German rifleman, who was firing after him. Four or five other German soldiers were standing across the river, laughingly watching the performance. Enraged, Maj Yates fired several shots at these spectators and dropped one of them before they dispersed, while the boy and his tormentor disappeared behind the buildings.
Enemy patrols attempted to probe across the river throughout the period, but were all repulsed by rifle, machine gun fire and grenades.
The enemy had no way to bring armor across to Charlie Co's positions without building a bridge. They did not give signs of desiring to build one or make an assault crossing of the river. During the night of December 19, Lt Walters' squad from the 291-ECB blew the bridge that they were defending. Just as enemy infantry coming up from the south started to cross it, Sgt Jean B. Miller touched off the explosive charge, and the squad worked its way back to join Charlie 51 in the defense of Trois-Ponts.
Another welcome addition to the small force at Trois-Ponts arrived at 2000, December 19, when a patrol from the 85-CRS, consisting of fifteen men and three M-8 assault guns arrived from Basse-Bodeux. Not realizing that they were friendly troops, Charlie Co's rear guard opened on them, but identification was quickly made. The next day the three guns were set up on the outskirts of the town on high ground where the patrol could observe and still keep its guns in defiladed positions. Although the assault guns remained in position outside of Trois-Ponts, the patrol never actually engaged the enemy.
On December 20, elements of the 505-PIR (82-AB) learned of the presence of the force defending Trois-Ponts, and the regimental commander, Col William E. Ekman, ordered his 2/505 and 3/505 to send three bazooka teams each to the beleaguered town. The rest of the regiment then started to move into Trois-Ponts and the 505's CP was established at 1300.
From 1930 to 2100, enemy artillery intensified in the entire waterfront area. Pvt Carl Strawser was killed when a shell hit his .50 caliber machine gun position. Sgt Joseph Gyure was seriously wounded at the same time while S/Sgt William W. Rankin stationed at one .50 cal Observation Post was killed by a 20-MM shell. An Engineer Platoon from the 307-AEB (82-AB), assisted by Charlie 51, then repaired the two blown bridges to allow a 505-PIR's company to cross. Later in the night a second company crossed on the repaired bridge, while the defenders of Trois-Ponts held their positions in the face of sporadic enemy artillery fire.
On December 21, at 1100, reports began coming in that the two companies of the 505-PIR were having difficulty across the river. The enemy launched a strong counterattack and started to surround elements that were defending on the hill overlooking Trois-Ponts from the east. At 1500, Maj Yates received a message from the 1111-EG ordering Charlie 51 to withdraw. He brushed it aside and characteristically replied that it was impossible to disengage from the enemy, inasmuch as the company was covering the withdrawal of the 82-AB.
Capt Scheuber, Charlie Co's commander, ordered at 1500 that the bridge over the Salm River and the bridge over the Amblève River be prepared again for imminent demolition. Of these, the timber trestle bridge over the Salm was the most difficult to blow. The task was assigned to Lt Joseph B. Milgram, and six men : Sgt Elvin Goldsmith, Cpl Odis C. Faust, T/5 Paul H. Keck, Pvt Jessie R. Mock, Pvt Maurice S. Walker, and Pvt Jose E. Marquez. Knowing that the bridge posts had previously been blown, Lt Milgram decided to use necklace charges with primacord and delay fuze for the stringers. He ordered his men to make nine necklace charges. When these were ready, the group proceeded toward the bridge on both sides of the road and were subjected to machine gun and small arms fire along the route.
Lt Milgram's plan had been to prepare the stringers on the friendly side of the bridge first by working from the top side of the bridge and placing the charges. However, the removal of the decking would have entailed too much work under fire, so the group crossed the bridge to the enemy side and climbed underneath in order to get the maximum amount of cover from enemy fire.
Their movement was observed, and the fire increased in a way that Lt Milgram ordered all but T/5 Keck to crawl along the enemy side of the river and wade across at a point lower downstream that would give a little more cover. The next job was to secure the primacord on the friendly side of the river at a point where it might be reached to blow up the bridge. After this was completed, the entire group waded the river and reported to Capt Scheuber that the bridge was ready for demolition. The bridge was blown at 1650. The Amblève river bridge presented no unusual problems, but the Salm river bridge was more difficult. Lt Milgram and T/5 Keck proceeded to within 60 yards from where the primacord lay. From there Lt Milgram crawled the remainder of the distance, checked the cord, pulled the fuze lighter, and then ran about 50 yards in the fading light but in full view of the enemy until he reached the cover of a building. Having accomplished his aim and mission of covering the withdrawal of the 505-PIR elements from the east of Trois-Ponts, Maj Yates ordered Charlie Co to begin withdrawing from the town at 1930, December 21. The withdrawal was completed by 2000, and the company rejoined the battalion at 2330 in Marche-en-Famenne.

Over 11.54 lakh COVID-19 tests were conducted in a span of 24 hours taking India's cumulative tests to over 5.18 crore so far, while during the same period nearly 75,000 people have recuperated from the disease taking the total number of recoveries to 33,98,844 in the country, the Centre said on Wednesday. Timely diagnosis through higher levels of countrywide testing has furnished valuable opportunities to isolate or hospitalize the positive cases adequately in advance for appropriate treatment. This in turn has facilitated lower mortality rates (1.69 per cent as on date) and speedy recovery, the Union Health Ministry underlined.
"India is one of the few countries that have reported very high numbers of daily testing. The daily testing capacity has already crossed 11 lakh," it highlighted. With 11,54,549 tests conducted for detection of COVID-19 in a span of 24 hours on Tuesday, India's cumulative tests have reached 5,18,04,677.
Expanded diagnostic lab network and facilitation for easy testing across the country through various calibrated measures have given a substantial boost. Building on this achievement, the Tests Per Million (TPM) have seen a sharp increase to 37,539, the ministry said. "It continues to maintain the constant upward trend," it underscored.
From one testing lab in Pune in January, the country presently stands strengthened with 1,678 labs including 1,040 labs in the government sector and 638 private labs. With 89,706 infections being reported in a day, India's COVID-19 tally of cases mounted to 43,70,128, while the death toll rose to 73,890 with 1,115 people succumbing to the disease in a span of 24 hours in the country,the data updated at 8 am showed.

I would prefer a long and profound love. I'm 44 and haven't had that yet, and some days, I start to feel I may never have it. I was married for 10 years, but that was not profound or meaningful, although I learned from it. I would prefer a few short relationships to none at all, and sometimes you have to have a few short relationships to find your long and profound one (kissing a lot of frogs first). But ultimately, my preference is for the long and profound relationship.
What Do Lovers Really Want?
Is one long, profound romance worth many short, intense relationships?
Posted Feb 25, 2014
We want to be with our lovers, but in what kind of relationship do we aspire to be? Do we prefer to be in one profound, loving relationship all our lives, or would we prefer many short, intense romantic relationships?
At the center of this issue is the difference between happiness and meaningfulness, as well as the difference between romantic intensity and romantic profundity.
Happiness and Meaningfulness
"There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering." —Theodore Roosevelt
Recent studies on the difference between happiness and meaningfulness, by Roy Baumeister and colleagues (Baumeister, 2013; Baumeister, et al. 2013), may shed surprising light on our romantic choices.
Happiness is related to our needs and desires being satisfied. But meaningfulness is considerably more complex. While happiness refers merely to the present, meaningfulness connects the present with the past and the future.
The satisfaction of our desires is a reliable source of happiness but has nothing to do with a sense of meaning. We are happy according to the extent to which we find our lives easy rather than difficult, while difficulties—and coping with them—contribute greatly to the meaningfulness of life.
Baumeister argues that time spent imagining the future is strongly linked to greater meaningfulness, but less happiness. Conversely, the more time we spend thinking about the here and now, the happier we are. Meaning involves assembling the past, present, and future into a coherent story; it enables us to impose a measure of stability on our world.
In contrast, happiness, as a subjective state, exists essentially in the present moment. Happiness, he contends, is mainly about getting what we want and need—including from other people. In contrast, meaningfulness is linked to doing things that express and reflect the self; it is particularly linked to doing positive things for others.
For example, while spending time with friends contributes to higher happiness, it is irrelevant to meaning. Time with loved ones, while not uniformly pleasant, is meaningful. Baumeister suggests that the difference lies in the depth of the relationships. Time with friends is often devoted to simple pleasures, without much at stake, so it may foster good feelings while doing little to increase meaning. If your friends are grumpy, you can just move on.
Superficiality and Profundity
"The first recipe for happiness is: Avoid too lengthy meditation on the past." —Andre Maurois
Baumeister refers to both narrow and broad senses of happiness. The narrow sense—when you're happy to have found a lost shoe—expresses momentary feelings. The broad sense—being happy to be enjoying a good life—expresses life satisfaction.
Similarly, I have suggested distinguishing between the acute emotion of joy and the sentiment of happiness (Ben-Ze'ev, 2000). As an acute emotion, happiness is a short-term state of pleasure or satisfaction occurring as a result of a specific (real or imaginary) positive change. Even someone who is generally depressed can laugh and be pleased from time to time. Infants can be content or satisfied; they may also be described as experiencing a degree of happiness, but not the profound, meaningful sentiment of happiness sought after by healthy adults.
In profound happiness, people are engaged in meaningful activities that develop their capacities and enable them to flourish. Such flourishing is not a temporary state of superficial pleasure; it refers to the fulfillment of our talents and capacities over the arc of life. (Superficial or hedonic activities—casual sex, gossiping, and watching television—may be enjoyable, even though they do not contribute much to our long-term flourishing and can even be harmful in excess.)
Joy and Meaning in Love
Turning to the romantic realm, we may distinguish between superficial joyful experiences—like casual sex—and profound, meaningful experiences—such as long-term profound love. In this regard, a distinction between romantic intensity and romantic profundity is useful: Romantic intensity expresses a snapshot picture of a romantic experience at a given moment. Romantic profundity, which constitutes long-term deep love, involves joint activities which fulfill essential needs for the couple's long-term flourishing.
The profundity of a romantic experience is different from how intensely it is felt. A short sexual desire may be more intense than a longer experience of romantic love, but less profound. Although in profound love, the romantic intensity is not as intense as in momentary sexual desire, it still exists—and at a substantial level.
Baumeister argues: "If happiness is about getting what you want, it appears that meaningfulness is about doing things that express yourself." In romance, short-term joys are indeed about getting what you want, while profound, meaningful love expresses your personality and fulfills your potential.
The satisfaction that arises from profound, meaningful activities is crucial for long-term love. Profound love does not stem from subordinating your activities to those of your beloved, but from considering the activities for and with your beloved as compatible with your own meaningful activities.
The choice of such activities cannot be arbitrary—it must benefit and be compatible with each other's personality and flourishing. Sexual activity can be enjoyable in the superficial sense of providing fleeting pleasure to the participants. It becomes meaningful when it is part of the more profound attitude of love.
Choosing Between One Profound Romantic Relationship or Many Intense Short Ones
"I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes; I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." —Marilyn Monroe
Should a person choose a happy or a meaningful life? Most of us would find it difficult to endure a complete lack of either. No one wants to live a miserable, though meaningful, life, or a superficially happy, but meaningless, one.
The decision between being a dissatisfied Socrates or a happy pig would be obvious—the pig lacks any intellectual and other cognitive features that make our lives meaningful. But what about choosing between being a dissatisfied Socrates and a happy human who is somewhat less wise than the philosopher? Here the choice is more complex.
The choice between a short, high-quality life and a long, low-quality life is a similar question: We might attempt to work out this problem in a mechanical way by multiplying the length of life by the quality of life and then choose the greater sum.
But how can we possibly measure the quality of life? Consider chemotherapy: Some people choose not to undergo this treatment because although it may prolong their lives somewhat, it can considerably reduce the quality of their lives.
In the romantic realm, the dilemma is whether to aspire to a long, profound love all your life or to pursue many short, intense romantic relationships. Opting for one profound love is a seemingly plausible choice—profound love involves fulfilling the partner's essential needs and enhancing both partners' personal flourishing. Such love has various advantages, fueled by a long-term acquaintance and joint activities.
As one man posted in a comment on an article of mine:
"Been with my wife for more than 25 years. We had two children together. I love her today more than I ever have. The thought of growing old with her brings me comfort. Yes, love can survive and flourish!"
Consider, on the other hand, the attitude of Marianne, an attractive young divorcee, and a top executive:
"I am glad for people who remain in love with the same partner for a long time and are happy about it since I think that to be happy in this life is the most meaningful experience. Would I want to be in love with the same man all my life? To be honest with myself, the answer is 'no.' However, while I am intensely in love with a man, I want this love to endure for a long time. I would be happy to feel in love forever with the man I am with now. But I know that it is impossible, and although I am not so young, I am still attracted to excitement. Accordingly, I believe that what I really want, and what actually happens to me, is that I need more than one love in my whole life."
Marianne may be basing her attitude on an incorrect belief: She wants to be in love with her current lover forever, but since she believes that this is impossible, she is happy with many consecutive lovers. She does not think that she is unusual in needing more change and excitement than other people; she just thinks that she is more open about it.
But various studies indicate that profound love that endures for a lifetime does exist—and to a greater degree than many of us believe (O'Leary, 2012). Moreover, people often change their views about long-term love. As we get older, calmness, rather than excitement, may become the essential element in a marriage (Mogilner, et al., 2011). (It should also be remembered that exciting ups are often followed by depressing downs.)
A central difficulty in choosing one loving partner for the rest of your life is the probable reduction in intense, novel, exciting experiences. However:
- The reduction in intensity is not inevitable, and for many relationships, it has little impact.
- The profundity of love may more than compensate for reduced intensity.
- Couples may arrive at certain flexible arrangements that enable each of them to have some novel excitements, provided that they do not endanger their relationship—although in many cases, such arrangements prove incompatible with profound love.
Accordingly, it seems that most people would choose to have one profound love that makes their life both happier and more meaningful.
Can you, the reader, tell us what type of relationships you would prefer: A long, profound one or a series of short, intense ones?

I would prefer a long and
long and profound love
I am a long and profound love woman. I'm 44 and haven't married yet, and some days, I start to feel I gave up my profound love for reasons society frowned apon. I have been a long relationships, of which two was profound and meaningful, but he was much younger and I felt I was holding him 'back' and broke it off - only to discover 3 years later, I still love him. The other was when I was younger and he much older and his need to start a family outweighed my need for 'freedom' and travel.
I learned from it and have had short relationships. I agree with Kim that sometimes you have to have a few short relationships to find your long and profound one (kissing a lot of frogs first just like Kim said!)
Ultimately I feel people either grow towards each other or away form each other. I also feel there is sometimes no control over the direction of growth due to so many internal and external factors. People inherently long for the long and profound relationship - and understanding ourselves - makes for better relationships. We hope.
I know what I would rather;
I know what I would rather; to be in one profound loving relationships all of my life over many short intense romantic relationshops.
Above all...
The article is really realistic. However, above all, lovers actually must see to their needs before wants. Their biggest need is to know the meaning of love, which certainly cannot differ from lover to lover. True love is steady, does not increase or decrease with achievements/positive points and losses/negative points, and features a flawless vision. This is beautifully explained at
Definitely one profound
Definitely one profound loving relationship.
At this moment, both
I have enjoyed one profound love for over 30 years. It has been meaningful and fulfilling and at its core, essential and life affirming. It continues to be that way and we do not see an end to it. However, after these many years, and through our continued openness and communication, we realize that one of us needs the intense romantic dalliances for enjoyment. We have decided to pursue it and have walked through each step together. Immediate happiness and a sense of freedom has ensued and we are more content now than before. Yes, these short term relationships have caused some negative impact and angst but we keep talking and exploring and working through it together. And thus far, our profound love has only grown deeper and we now enjoy intense romantic moments together ourselves.
One love of your life
I meet the love of my life when I was 18, was together for 17 years then we split three years ago. Since I have been single and have only had short flings that have lasted a few months. I have just been messed around and used. No love or real connection. It's tough sometimes. But a lot of people force it as they don't want to be alone.
I have a past with many short relationships. After a time you start to feel horribly empty inside... Very depressing way to live.
The overwhelming urge almost all of us have is to share in a partnership, have our own team, to know someone always has your back and to not live a lonely life.
When in frivolous relationships, you discard them when too many issues arise. IMO the reason the too many issues arise is because you chose that mate NOT thinking about compatibility, only lust and novelty. These relationships are more often volatile, irritating and melodramatic. Superficial choices do not get you more than a momentary thrill.
Having a love-life of inner peace is so rewarding... I have found the love of my life recently, and a gentle smile is on my face when I see her at the end of the day or if she drops in at work. It is profoundly the best feeling I have ever known. :)
I love you K!
I would prefer a long-lasting
I would prefer a long-lasting and loving relationship. I am in the point in my life where all I desire is a long-lasting relationship. I have had the short-term flings, long-term dating without commitment, and short relationships (3-6months) and it is emotionally painful for me. It is the uncertainty that you will never find the one and that you will be lonely. I probably have other problems, but I think the security that a long-term relationship provides is essential to living a full life with your partner.
I've always wanted a long
I've always wanted a long term love even after I divorced but I am open & considering short relationships because relationships are hard!

Love that Lasts.
I'm only 22, but I've always considered myself a hopeless (or hopeful?) romantic in a lot of ways. I also love my relationships to be full of laughter, excitement, and passion. I am surrounded, it seems, by failed marriages or ones that exist between two people that seem miserable. I'm in a serious relationship, and I want it to last. But I don't know if I believe that love can really last, which is a difficult thought to be having as I start to think about building a life and a family someday. This is a great article, and it gives me hope to read that love lasts more often than we think (and that there are studies to show it is even better - I'm a research kinda girl). I wish more people with successful marriages would tell their stories; please post! :)
I'm a 20 year-old student and
I'm a 20 year-old student and I think that a profound love is a bit restricting but brings long-term calmness to one's life and this may compensate for the reduced instantaneous happiness present in a series of consecutive short-term relationships. So, the payoff would indeed favour the side of a profound long-term love.
"I'm a 20 year-old student and I think that a profound love is a bit restricting but brings long-term calmness to one's life"
Dude, I'm in my 50s and no it doesn't. Sorry to burst your bubble.
I think some people are
I think some people are suited to longterm love with one partner and some are not. Some people have unrealistic expectations, others are too neurotic, others may have difficulty in always eating the same cuisine day after day after day after day. I mean, even in music I could never really stick with playing or even listening to one style...
relashionship short term
I desired to have one companion for life. However, I feel that I have fail with all my previous relationships. But, did learned to distrust woman in general simply by their behavior toward me and other man. Of course there are bad man out there as well. I am what they call "a nice guy" I am not saying all woman are bad that all. I just feel I make poor choices. So I am in a self analysis to see what do I need to change to find more happiness with a partner if I ever going to have one. I am happy who I am and if I find a true partner, it would be like ice on the cake as they said. I don't need to have children to fulfill my life and I don't follow the main stream. So I will continue to be interesting for me as I move along in life.
i have been blessed to have both.
Happily married for 22 years, enjoying hot attention of a few lovers as well. All good men, and I love them thoroughly.
For a time I thought that
For a time I thought that short intense relationship would be fine for me. But today I just can`t bear it anymore. I think that when something is really good and for an unjustifiable reason not enduring, it may leave a sense of emptiness that it is difficult to find the real worth of it. I`ve heard that when you find the one, you feel it in your heart and have no doubts. Maybe, it`s the best thing we can believe in while not in a profound long term relationship.
I'm a female in her 30. We
I'm a female in her 30. We cannot know what the future brings, but after many years of seeking the person who is right for me, I am very happy that I have found the man with whom I want to build a calm and meaningful life and achieve profound love last year. I love him. The reason I wanted to have this kind of a relationship is stability and calmness, and happiness.
However, I have an interesting issue here... Letting all taboos aside and focusing on my true nature, satisfying this long-term need of mine doesn't and didn't suppress my desire for intense romantic/sexual experience. I experience strong intense sexual desire for another man other than the man I want to be life partners with. If I never met this other man in my life, maybe I would not have known how satisfying and meaningful lust and ups and downs could be. This relationship is a very exciting and meaningful one.
But I guess I'm talking about only one sexual partner here, not many, and I don't really want short-term/intense relationships with multiple partners. All I need and want is multiple short-term/intense experiences with one man, and a life-long, less intense, more stable and productive relationship with a life partner.
So answer to the blog author's question is I want both - a long, profound love AND a series of short, intense romantic/sexual experiences.
Lust and profound love are both meaningful, satisfying for me, and contribute to my happiness. I don't think I really understand the happiness vs. meaningfulness division Baumeister and colleagues found/argue.

Apple is negotiating the direct purchase of cobalt from mining companies, since it is a key component of lithium-ion batteries. The manufacturer of smartphones is concerned about the possible deficit of metal due to electric vehicles using similar batteries. This is reported by Bloomberg referring to the sources familiar with the situation.
According to the interlocutors of the publication, the company is trying to conclude contracts for the direct supply of several thousand tons of cobalt annually for five years or longer. Due to the fact that this metal is used in the production of batteries for iPhones and iPads, Apple is among the four largest consumers of metal.
As noted by Bloomberg, Tim Cook's company is afraid of a deficit that may arise due to the growing market of electric vehicles. While for smartphones you need about 8 grams of metal, batteries in cars are required thousands of times more. In addition to Apple, automakers such as BMW and Volkswagen are looking for opportunities to contract for long-term direct supplies. Earlier the company Tim Cook was not interested in buying metal and left this issue to the battery manufacturers.

The family has gathered around in a warm cozy house, and the smell of food is wafting through the air. The kitchen is all hustle and bustle, and tasty appetizers are awaiting.
Veggie trays, olives, cookies, fudge, chips, and cream cheese dip with chips.
When it comes to a holiday dinner, though, there was one dish that always completed the festivities, and these holiday gatherings wouldn't be the same without it.
The only bad news is that this favorite was filled with red dye and processed sugars.

At least until now.
My grandma always made this Orange Cranberry Jello salad for every holiday. Sometimes she made it for birthday gifts. Well, not the jello so much. The jello was used as a prop rather.
Yep, I know, that sounds totally confusing. How is jello a prop?
Well, sometimes the jello was in a glass jar, and in the middle of the jello was a $20 bill. The bill was wrapped in a plastic bag, of course. Grandma always had fun watching who ever try and get their birthday present out of the jello. Sometimes they ended up with pink money.
That is how much everyone loved this cranberry jello salad... enough to have their birthday money buried in it. Grandma was always up for playing games, and that included playing with our birthday money.
This jello salad has a history, it has a story to share with you all, and it has a flavor that you will never forget.
The sweet fruitiness of jello paired with crunchy walnuts and tangy cranberries along with the fresh citrus of oranges. It beats out the canned cranberry sauce any day. It adds a little extra something to that basic traditionally side at family gatherings.
To increase the healthiness of this dish by removing the dye-filled cherry jello and processed sugar, we replaced it with some natural and organic ingredients.
Instead of cherry jello, this cranberry salad is infused with Coastal Cranberry Spice Loose Leaf Tea, sweetened with maple syrup, and features grass-fed beef gelatin. It might almost qualify as a health food at this point. Shhh! Just don't tell everyone, or they might think there is something wrong with it.
The only way to know for sure if it tastes that good is to make some yourself, and I'm happy to oblige with the recipe.
It's incredible how a recipe like this can so quickly and simply come together yet be so fabulous! This salad really doesn't take much time other than the chill time. It's the perfect make-ahead recipe for the holidays and made to impress.
This recipe may even be frozen and used at a later time or save in the refrigerator for several weeks. It would also make an excellent hostess gift placed in a cute mason jar and tied with a bow.
I made this just recently for my grandmother. She hasn't made jello salad in years due to dementia. While she does and doesn't remember making this, it seemed to have brought back the memory of a flavor that is cemented deep in her mind somewhere.
It made me glad that I can carry on this tradition with my own family. While Grandma doesn't remember how to make it or even that she did make it at times, the recipe isn't lost and will carry her memory on even when she is no longer with us.
What holiday meal traditions does your family have?

Skip to comments.Devin Nunes in Wolverine Mode: This is Only The Beginning of Sunlight on The Mueller Team
Posted on 02/12/2020 1:29:53 AM PST by a little elbow grease
Devin Nunes appears with Lou Dobbs and breaks the news on national media the nomination of former DC Attorney Jessie Liu was withdrawn. Mr. Nunes went on to discuss the issues around the DOJ and Deep State resistance effort and then contrasts the sentencing recommendation for Roger Stone against the 30-day sentence for SSCI Security Director James Wolfe.
Additionally, Representative Nunes notes this is only the beginning of sunlight upon the dirty lawyers who organized within the Mueller probe
. and there will be much more to come.

VIDEO interview within.
TarsTarkas says:
"Have to let as many pockets of poison bubble up out of the swamp on their own. Stir up the water, and you lose track of the cottonmouths lurking within.
POTUS, Barr, Durham et all have one shot at this. Im sure they know it. Any mistrial, hiccup, jury nullification, etc. and it all goes south. At this point I have to trust the Great Improvisers abilities."
The Great Lou Dobbs Reveals Stunning Information about U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu Connected to Wolfe Case Cover-up
FL_GUY says:
"For everyone that has complained about Barr not interceding into the Mueller crap, just look at the noise the D-Rats are making about these thugs resigning. Barr caught them RED HANDED LYING!!!!
And yet, the D-rats put out this bullshit when they dont have a leg to stand on. Imagine if Barr had interceded before today without blatant evidence of wrong doing which he now has. He let these corrupt POSs trap themselves and they are gone. The D-rats can whine, lie, the media-rats can whine and lie, but the truth is on Barrs side.
In sum, I think it is pretty clear why Barr is moving slowly on the corruption. As he has said on more than once, hes got one shot at it. The D-rat insane response today proves the truth of his words."
Along with the bacon cooking, I'm beginning to smell some justice in the air on this February morning.
These co conspirators have probably been under scrutiny for quite some time and have been digging their graves deeper and deeper.
Barr is just waiting until he has enough evidence and they have dug their graves so deep they cant crawl out.
We are at that point and impeachment was a critical milestone.
If you are going to prosecute a conspiracy, its far better to prosecute a completed conspiracy than to prosecute a potential conspiracy that was disrupted in the planning stages.
The 9/11 twin towers attack is an example.
If FBI had arrested Attas boys at the departure gates who in the public would have actually have realized the seriousness of what would have occurred or its ramifications
The coup occurred, it failed and now the guilty need to be held accountable for what they actually did , not just what they plotting were in what ghe press would characterize as some fantasy conspiracy theory
There is blood in the water and it is Republican feeding time.
Hope he has security.
This musta been what I was thinking about
Several months ago, Rush offered a similar assessment of how Barr working to drain the SWAMP.
Devin Nunes is an American hero ...
Definitely....And the Dems put him through hell on some ethics charge that he was cleared of.
Loved that the closed captions said Obama hole hold overs.
meh...wake me when one of these Swamp-sters actually goes to jail...
Nunes bump for later....
I'm pretty sure Nunes is the one pol in DC not being blackmailed.
The prior Presidents Bush would be snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, saying something like, "Let's put this behind us." Or, "Let the healing begin."
This. Exactly this.
Durham is notorious for being slow and meticulous. November is a month on the calendar to him.
Just how it should be.
Indeed. I wonder if one of the drivers is his coming from a California farm family.
You know, where they shut the water off to save the Delta Smelt, a minnow which serves no purpose on gawds formerly green earth.
Just how it should be.
Yes indeed.

Two women wait to cross a quiet intersection, Wednesday night, April 22, 2020, in the Bronx borough … [+]
College football appears as it it will happen this fall in the United States, but fans may have to wear masks to get into games.
That's what veteran college sports reporter Andy Katz believes.
"I think we're going to have to have masks in the stadium. I do think it will be required initially," Katz, now with NCAA.com and Fox, said Friday on The Paul Finebaum Show. "I think in September — unless things change, and I hope they change — I'm going to say initially, yes, it will be required for entrance all over the country. That's just my prediction."
As of early Saturday morning, there were 1.64 million confirmed cases of coronavirus in the U.S., and more than 96,000 deaths.
On Wednesday, the NCAA Division I Council voted to allow football and basketball student-athletes to participate in on-campus voluntary athletics activities beginning June 1, as long as all local, state and federal regulations are followed. On Friday, the Council voted to allow voluntary athletics activities in all Division I sports beginning June 1.
"There is a lot of concern on campus about getting this right and doing things safely," said Division I Competition Oversight Committee Chair Lynda Tealer, who is also the executive associate athletics director at Florida. "We are equipped to do that."
Katz is among many who believe wearing masks is an essential part of being safe and minimizing the risk of spreading the virus.
"I'm just going to say that I think to have a mass gathering — more than 50, 100 people — I wish we didn't have to," he said. "I'm not a fan, I don't like wearing them. But I have to because that's what's required to go into a grocery store, so I'm doing what I'm supposed to.
"I just think in a mass gathering — you're talking about 10,000, 20,000 people — I think that's what will happen initially. I'm hopeful it will fade as we go deeper into the fall. I could be wrong and I hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong on this one. But I just think at this juncture, here in mid-to-late-May, I think that's what they're thinking."
He isn't alone. Alabama coach Nick Saban did a PSA this week while wearing a mask and encouraging others to do so as well.
"All of us want to make sure we play football this fall," Saban said in the ad. "And to make that happen, we must be sure we stay at home if we have symptoms, wash your hands often, follow all social-distancing guidelines, and please wear a mask anytime you're around other people."
