A system and method for generating phase/frequency coded pulses useful in radar and similar applications, (such as simulation of multiple return of targets) by generating frequency modulated pulse compression pulses rapidly with practically no time in between. Typically, the system simulates target returns as FM sweeps or chirps to obtain an echo of a transmitted pulse having a known signature. Digital circuits are employed with finite steps connected to a digital-to-analog converter driving a radio frequency balanced modulator, to produce the desired chirp output. The system generates FM phase modulations by reading two phase history records representing cosine and sine functions in phase quadrature of a to-be-transmitted pulse.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the art of pulse compression circuits and more particularly concerns a pulse compression generator employing digital circuits with finite steps to generate continuous wave shapes, usable in radar and similar systems.
2. State of the Art
Heretofore pulse compression generators usable in radar systems have always used passive analog circuits having lumped parameter networks, very accurately tuned. These circuits include crystal filters, vacuum tubes, solid state amplifiers, and tuned networks of precision resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Two basic objections to the prior pulse generators, particularly those usable for obtaining a desired signal or simulating radar pulses, are their high cost and great complexity. A further objection is their inordinately large size and weight. A typical high quality precision compressed pulse generator of conventional type has hundreds of components, and costs about $70,000. It is over four feet in length and weighs many pounds.
3. Brief Summary of Invention
The present invention takes another approach. Here a lightweight, small, relatively inexpensive and simple unit uses a digital circuit feeding a digital-to-analog circuit which drives an R.F. balanced modulator circuit to produce desired FM sweeps or pulse compression pulses. FM pulses or "chirps" are generated continuously by first obtaining from a radar manufacturer or end user a phase history of frequencies as a function of time for transmitted radar pulses or a desired signal. That is, the phase is varied according to a prescribed system. It consists of amplitude modulating two carriers exactly 90� apart from each other, thereby generating one vector at 0� and 180� and a second vector at 90� and 270�. The two vectors are in phase quadrature. The phase addition of the two vectors gives the effect of rotating phase vector.
In the present embodiment of the invention, there is a single frequency reference source and a signal input applied to a 90� phase shifter which yields the two phases components in quadrature. Each of the two phase components are applied to a balanced amplitude modulator and then combined in an output adder to produce the desired output wave shape. The required phase information for the modulators is obtained by digital means. A time scale is generated on a digital counter, the output of which is a time variable address. This address is applied to a Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM) or a Read Only Memory (ROM) containing the desired phase history of the signal. The output of the PROM or ROM, as the case may be, in turn addresses two PROMS, a sine PROM and a cosine PROM, respectively, containing a conversion of the signal to the sine and cosine function thereof. The digital sine and cosine components are in phase quadrature, and are applied to two digital-to-analog converters. The converters convert the digital data to analog signals which appear as bipolar currents at the two converter outputs. These current outputs are applied to two balanced modulators along with a divided RF carrier. The modulator outputs in phase quadrature (sine and cosine) are then combined in an adder to produce the desired frequency modulated radio frequency signal. The system uses digital techniques including PROMS containing phase history with a resolution of the input to the sine and cosine thereof. The output from the PROMS is converted to analog and used to drive the modulators with quadrature RF to give the affect of a rotating vector after combination thereof.
4. Objects of the Invention
A principal object of the present invention is to obtain FM phase modulated sweeps or "chirps" as they are also known, which may simulate target returns in a radar system, i.e. echoes of known transmitted pulses, or pulses of a known signature.
A further object of the present invention is to maintain coherence, and that is, the pulse compression signal must have phase coherence with the original signal generated as a narrow pulse.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide for generation of FM or pulse compression returns rapidly one after the other with practically no time in between.
These and other objects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawing in which the single FIGURE is a logic block diagram of a digital/analog system embodying the invention.
Referring now to the drawing, there is shown a system for generating pulse compression signals in which a digital logic circuit 10 feeds a digital/analog circuit 12 driving an RF circuit 14. In logic circuit 10, clock pulses 11 are applied via a gate 16 to a time counter 18. Gate trigger pulses 19 are applied to the gate 16 to synchronize and permit the clock pulses 11 to pass therethrough. The gated clock pulses 11 applied to the counter 18 advance the output of the counter 18 one step at a time. A plurality of control lines 15 establish the form of the address of a Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM) 20 and may also be used to select additional histories. That is, the control lines 15 permit moving or shifting the FM waveform within the envelope of the gate 16. The output from the PROM 20 presets the counter 18 to a selected count when a pretrigger 17 is applied to the counter 18. One pretrigger signal 17 must precede each gate signal 19.
Thus, when the gate trigger pulse 19 is applied to the counter 18 through gate 16, it produces addresses applied to a PROM 22 where the radar chirp phase history is stored in digital form; that is, in a multibit word, for example, 8 bits. Depending on the timing of clock 11 the PROM 22 will advance and read out the phase history. This word is translated to a pair of PROMS 24 and 26 which convert the phase history into sine and cosine functions which are in phase quadrature with respect to each other. By phase quadrature, it means that when one signal is at a maximum, the other signal will be at zero. The digital sine and cosine data lines are applied from the PROMS 24 and 26, via a pair of respective latches 28 and 30 to the digital to analog circuit 12. The latches 28 and 30 actuated by the output of the gate 16 prevent passage of data while the signals from the PROMS are in transit.
The digital cosine component ("in phase") is applied via eight lines 31 to a digital-to-analog converter 32. The digital sine component ("quadraturephase") is applied via lines 33 to a digital-to-analog converter 34. The converters 32, 34 produce respectively "in-phase" and "quadrature-phase" analog currents which are applied via lines 35 and 37 respectively to respective balanced modulators 36 and 38 of the RF circuit 14. The currents are in phase quadrature. An RF carrier is applied via a hybrid divider 40 to the modulators 36, 38 which produce sine and cosine signal modulation of the carrier. These signals are applied to an in-phase adder 42 where the signals are combined to produce a continuous frequency modulated RF wave shape or chirp.
To summarize, system operation starts with the pretrigger 17 which presets the counter 18. Then, the gate trigger pulses 19 allows the counter 18 to run. The signal input is translated into a phase history in the PROM 22. The phase history is converted to in-phase (cosine) and quadrature (sine) components by PROMS 26, 24 respectively. These digital outputs are applied to respective digital-to-analog circuits 34, 32 which generate analog currents. The analog currents in quadrature with each other are applied to the balanced modulators 36, 38 and the modulated voltages in quadrature are combined in the adder 42 to produce the desired chirp output.
It should be understood that if desired, the in phase signal in PROM 22 may include the sine, cosine history, and in that event, the output from PROM 22 would be applied directly to the latches 28 and 30 respectively.
In view of the foregoing, it will be apparent that the system produces an unexpected and unobvious result, in that digital circuits with finite steps generate linear differential phase shifts as a function of frequency input. The digital circuit operates in association with digital-to-analog converters and the RF modulator circuit to generate continuous wave shapes. By contrast, in the prior art, only analog circuits were used to generate continuous wave shapes. These prior analog circuits use lumped parameter networks, crystal filters, vacuum tube amplifiers, crystal amplifiers, etc . . . . Everything had to be tuned precisely and precision components had to be used throughout.
The present system can be fabricated in miniature form using conventional components. From components manufactured for example, the PROMS by Texas Instrument's PROM Model Nos. TBP 18S030, TBP 18S22, and TBP28L22; Texas Instrument's Counter such as Model No. SN54LS191 and a Latch such as Texas Instrument's Model No. 54LS378 or 54LS379. The digital-to-analog converters may be manufactured by Analog Devices, their Model No. 620 DAC1106 and the RF circuit components manufactured by Minicircuit, modulator Model No. ZAD-1, their adder Model No. Z3C 2-1, and their hybrid divider Model No. ZSCQ-2-50. In addition to Texas Instruments, other manufacturers of PROMS include Intell with their Model 3636 and Intersil with their Model IM5600. The gate 16 is a conventional and logic gate manufactured by enumerable electronic companys. The system can be produced at less than 1% of the cost of prior analog circuitry, yet it will provide superior results.
It should be understood that the foregoing relates to only a preferred embodiment of the invention which has been by way of example only, and that it is intended to cover all changes and modifications of the examples of the invention, herein chosen for the purpose of the disclosure, which do not constitute departures from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Very busy at this location could use more help. Also I had a reservation but still had to wait in line? There should be line for people with resv and if not bust then they can wait on walk-in's. My rental veh had a tire with low air, truck dirty inside didn't look as if cleaned or checked over very good. Then after my inspection I found the gas was less but on ticked was listed as full, had to go back in line to tell them and get corrected???
Renting was quick and easy! Thanks!
The gentleman at the counter was totally unprofessional.
The person to whom I turned in my truck was surly and dour. It was as if I was dealing with someone in the Army who didn't care about me or his job.
The truck I received was in poor condition. It was older - 140,000 miles I think. Poor steering, poor shocks, took a long time to start. I believe the truck should have been retired long ago. I have had good experience with U-Haul in the past and will probably use again, but I wanted you to be aware that this experience was not good.
The drop-off process was a little unclear. Went to the wrong place first and waited in line only to be told I needed to go dropp the Uhaul around back. That was my fault, I didn't see the signs outside. But I did wait a long time in line just to hear that. A big sign inside telling people to return in back might be good for customers like me who got confused. Saves time for everyone, not having people waiting in line who don't need to be there. Dropped the Uhaul in the back and was given and slip after it was inspected and told to go back inside, only once I was inside and had waited in a long line, the guy at the counter said something to the effect of "They didn't check you in outside?". I was never clear on where I was supposed to be and how the return process was supposed to have worked. Took a lot longer than it should have.
After hour drop off was very convient and easy
Checkout experience was phenomenal. The services was great and the person was very friendly. I would rent again again based on that alone.
It wasn't clear to me when I registered online that there will be other fuel charges and charges based on driving distance. i thought it was only rental charges like a car rental. Please make them clear during reservation.
Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Read negative reviews about this location however we found this location to be professional and helpful. We were able to rent a truck on a Saturday afternoon with no reservation. Very satisfied with the experience.
when we went they only had one person working the counter line was long and it the back the crew was short people what should have taken 10-20 mins took an hour than the trailer was not secured and it damaged my truck
I am a repeat customer and have found the management and the majority of the staff to be well mannered, helpful, and knowledgeable. I would recommend this particular location without hesitation.
Everything was great! Thanks!
Daniel and Milo were a huge help!!
i was told i had unlimited miles seeing that for a 1 way trip it was 164$. I may be using another company next time. The weekend before i had a uhaul for 80$ for 24 hrs i was charged$164
Everything was fine, but in particular I was very impressed by one of the gentlemen working in the drop-off area.
After I returned my trailer and drove off I realized my turn signals didn't work anymore.
I turned around and went back and told him what was up. He took the time to troubleshoot the problem and found that one of my fuses was blown of which he replaced.
I was very pleased, as I know he didn't have to do that.
well for starters, went by Saturday to rent a truck,stood in line for 40 minutues due to a long line and only one CSR on duty.Being a last of the month, should at least have 2 more CSRs. People in line were complaining as some had to wait longer. When I finally got to Rep., and after waiting, I was informed no trucks available. I think she could have announced that and avoid the waiting. Told her if I could reserve one for Sunday, she stated there were several for Sunday no need to reserve. Sunday get there as soon as it opened, ppl were already in line, and wasnt able to get a truck until Monday. That was a hassle.
Get more help
Love the way UHaul has embraced digital innovations to make transactions go faster and more smoothly. Now if they would all just have enough employees to save me standing in a line as long as I sometimes do. (Not this partucular visit, but several in the past two years. )
Excessively long wait for pickup, even though I had already reserved online.
Had a 3 pm pick up but took 30 minutes in line for pickup due to a long line of customers. Not enough parking available to accommodate customers. Had to park in the mud.
The interior of the van was clean but not the exterior. The vehicle performed well and easy to drive. Was great for our need.
The furniture dolly was missing a wheel was not offered a refund!

Bad trend for Boston: Knicks' veteran bench mattered, Celtics' didn't
Apr 22, 2013, 11:00 AM EDT
Tyson Chandler, looking rusty after missing a lot of time with a bulging disc in his neck, wasn't himself. The New York Knicks count on him to be a defensive force that owns the paint and get a few points off pick-and-rolls, but he wasn't really doing either. So Mike Woodson turned to his bench…
Celtics win three quarters, Knicks own fourth to take Game 1
Apr 20, 2013, 6:35 PM EDT
Basketball is about how you adapt and how you finish. The first 24 minutes Saturday's Game 1 between Boston and New York went exactly how the Celtics want this first round series to unfold — Boston shot 53.6 overall and 4-10 from three, Jeff Green had 20 points on 10 shots, Avery Bradley had 11…

By any eye test, he's looked excellent. But in that span, the Celtics have been outscored by 3.6 points per 100 possession with him on the court and…

It would have worked better if the villain wasn't ultimately so cartoonish. Instead of blowing up Earth, if his objective had been more subtle, more nuanced.
My take was that the destruction of Earth wasn't one of Shizon's priorities. Rather it was a promise he made to the Romulan military in exchange for their co-operation, the Simitar could only be in one place at a time and Shizon needed the Romulan military to control the empire. Failure to live up to his promise relatively quickly would result in the military turning on him.
Except, the reason Donatra turned on Shinzon was because she believed he would destroy Earth. And it was this belief she expressed to Commander Suran to convince him to move against Shinzon as well.
Donatra was turning the military against Shinzon, not on principal, but because he essentially said to her "Romulans are second-class citizens." Donatra wasn't on Shinzon's side from the beginning. It wasn't Donatra standing up there saying "Why haven't you attacked earth?" That was Suran. The plans against the Federation were not known. Suran thought it was to conquer Earth. Whatever his motivation to change, Suran is the one who changed his mind, not Donatra.

Customer Reviews
Congrats - great game
I love this game, im not used to write reviews but this game deserves that. I had/have a lot of fun playing this fantastic game. When I upgraded my characteres for the first time I thought there was a bug that resetted the level of them. But after you get used to this, its very nice to get a better creature than the one you already have, chosing wisely between healer, stronger or better magical creatures. It would be nice to have online battle fighting with real people and their creatures, for what I saw about battle player, its the computer that plays against you, but its also cool, although it should be improved. Anyway, again, really good game.
Time Killer!
I've probably played this game for 100 hours! The graphics aren't bad, and the sounds are inoffensive. It's the same game as Battle Fury, but you play as the enemies this time. The biggest flaw is to truly get the most out of this game, you'll have to pay real money and lots of it. Certain characters, upgrades, and equipment can only be unlocked through paying real cash. So it's uninstalling time for me! Good game to kill time for a long time though!
I loved playing the original Dark Fury. I searched up the company and I downloaded other games. I saw that they had Dark Fury Pro for free! I immediately downloaded it and I say I LOVE the new features! They added a new icon that is green and says Pro. Then on the page it says "Free for a limited time only." I mean I thought the old Dark Fury was great, but now that it has pro in the title it is simply the best!

my TULIP trees are dying!
he drought shows here in Central virginia when you look at the Tulip trees. I would like to know why is it that these trees are so suseptable to drought? shallow root systems? Are they dead now when all their leaves fall? or is it just their leaves? I appreciate it, I also have a list of other trees and shrubs that ar suffering in my area if you are interested!
( zone 7)
They may not be dead! Some trees will drop their leaves early to reduce their water loss--no stomata in branches and trunks--and will green up just fine next spring. If you can't bear to wait 'til next spring--give it a ew weeks and nick an accessible small branch. (Could be tough on a tulip...) If it is green and "springy" inside it is still alive and you should give it a chance. We had a drouht anumber of years a go and all the oaks in my yard dropped their leaves in august. I was convinced they were dead and called an arborist to consult about removal. He laughted and told me to wait--and they were all fine the next spring. GOOD LUCK! Melanie
I don´t know about tulip trees, but our back garden is overhang by a line of poplars, outside of our property. When the temperatures started to climb last July, they shed their leaves almost entirely in the course of a week. I was racking leaves from my patio as if it were Fall. By the way, I saved them all in a wire mesh in order to get yummy leaf mold next year. I only racked the ones which fell on the patio and passages, the ones which fell on the borders stayed there as mulch. Everything helps in the heat.
The same happened last year and the trees were not injured at all and came back beautifully in the Spring, plus I got some mulch for free.
so then its just a survival mechanism? or is it something to worry about? I have seen Red Maple, Tupip trees ( Poplar), Dogwood, Ash, some Hornbeam,Beech, and just as many Spicebush (I think its Lindera benzoin) as tulip trees. But I haven't seen any sweetgum, older oaks, hickory, or any other shrubs effected. Unrelated to the drought I have seen many green catapillars with many black spots and an orange head. They totally demolished a young pine tree and I don't know what to do. I looked them up in an insect book, but I only found 1 species that lives in the east that eats pines and this wasn't it. What do you think? thanx again!
(zone 7)
Your caterpillars are redheaded pine sawflies.
You can do a Google to learn more about them.
They usually show up on my small grove of Loblolly pine and in a couple of days, the local wrens have eaten every one.
I GREATLY apprreciate the help! It turns out you are totally right. I looked them up in Google, and I found a Virginia Tech site. It said that they generally come out sooner than they did here, but thats alright. They seem to have disapeared. Only a few are left on a smaller pine near the totally defoliated one. I would guess they are pupating. Do the adults bite or anything? I didn't find that info, but thats ok I doubt they would. Its weird, I have only seen that one clutch of the larva, no other trees have been effected. I'm just glad they only eat pine!! I had transplanted a young wild grape vine (that was just mature enough to have grapes) right next to the effected pines. WHEW! I had been lookin for what they were in hope of saving the grapes around it. Thanx again for the help!!
I have several mature Tulip Poplar trees in my backyard. They are typically one of the first trees to defoliate at the end of the summer. This summer, they are trying to conserve moisture by defoliating more rapidly. My backyard & deck are covered with fallen leaves.
Again, using grey water on all the trees, bushes, flowers, & veggies is the ONLY way to get through this crisis.
Also, does anyone know of any good rain dances and/or chants? I'm open to all suggestions :~)
Here in Atlanta, the tulip trees have been losing their leaves and pine trees their needles since late July in response to the drought. Our local gardening expert says its a survival mechanism to lessen the amount of water the trees need for survival. Raking in the mid-90s is no fun, but hey, I've got all the pine needle mulch I need and the compost pile is very, very happy!
I found A LOT. Here are a few links...http://www.cnr.vt.edu/dendro/dendrology/syllabus/ltulipifera.htm
The last two have better views of the insides. Hope I helped some. Oh, just FYI, I just searched www.google.com for 'Tulip Tree Blossom' and that is where I found those three. I'd love to see the painting!
Here are also some more pictures I came across while checking out the ones from Sam. My neighbor has a Tulip tree in her back yard and wanted to know how to start one from seed and i told her I would get on here and see what i could find out. Well nothing yet on it. But i have seen lots of pictures of them. LOL
Have fun with the painting,
Your friend whats to know HOW to get the seeds to grow? Mine come up everywhere! I would guess if she wants to do it by hand, she can collect the seeds in fall. Then buy some sphagnum peat moss, get it moist, mix that with some seeds, put that in plastic baggies and put that in the vegie section of the frige over winter----then plant them like any other seed in spring. OR she could always just collect some, and throw it on a section of ground in fall, and lightly cover the area with more dirt. Then hope that she doesnt forget about them in spring and watch for them to come up.
My magnolia tulip tree with light pink blooms has been struggling for the last three years. I love its location, partly shaded but some direct sunlight. Every year it has fewer leaves and blooms. Douglas fir nearby seems to be competing for root space in the soil. Hard soil. Should I try to amend the soil with something or transplant? 8 year old tree.Many of the branches have moss growing off them and look dead. Should I take these branches off or leave them? They would probably be half of the tree at this point. We live in Seattle and the tree is surrounded by pines and rhodies.

Douglas fir nearby seems to be competing for root space in the soil. When I planted it originally, we used some loam, but the surrounding soil is pretty hard. Should I try to amend the soil (and how should this be done?)with something or transplant? 8 year old tree.Many of the branches have moss growing off them and look dead. Should I take these branches off or leave them? They would probably be half of the tree at this point. We live in Seattle and the tree is surrounded by pines and rhodies.
We have been having a bad drought, even when it rained up north of us, we kept getting missed. We haven't had a real decent rain since June!
Re Tulip poplars, they were the last ones to drop their leaves this year. The ones that lost their leaves first were the ash, they had a bad year too because of that ash borer that is around destroying trees. The ash had been losing their leaves early, around the beginning of september here. Other trees did the same thing, maples especiall boxwoods looked pretty bad, no good fall colors this year, the leaves are done with except tulip poplars are still holding on. The few sycamores we have dropped their leaves super early.
Even my zebra grass looks like it's dying, the leaves are all turning brown. I hope it survives for next year, as it's fully grown.
My bamboos seem to be the only plant doing well.

Federal Vehicle Fleets:
GSA Has Opportunities to Further Encourage Cost Savings for Leased Vehicles

What GAO Found
Some aspects of the General Service Administration's (GSA) leasing rates, terms, and services support agency efforts to reduce fleet costs, while others do not. For example, GSA procures the vehicles it leases at a discount and passes those savings on to its customers, provides agencies with data analyses that can be used to eliminate unnecessary vehicles, and identifies fraud, waste, and abuse related to leased vehicles. However, GAO identified two areas where GSA's rates and terms have not encouraged agency efforts to reduce fleet costs. First, under GSA's leasing-rate structure, fuel costs are covered by a monthly fee based on miles traveled, among other things, but not on actual fuel used. This rate structure does not provide incentives for agencies to reduce some fuel costs that may not be fully reflected by miles travelled, such as costs associated with idling or speeding. Principles for designing government fees suggest that having each agency pay for the fuel it actually uses could increase incentives to reduce fuel costs. GAO has previously found that government fee decisions also involve considering trade-offs and that other considerations, such as administrative burden, are important. Without examining the trade-offs of changing GSA's rate structure so that agencies pay for the fuel they actually consume, GSA may be missing an opportunity to encourage agencies to minimize fuel costs and save taxpayer dollars. Second, lack of clear GSA guidance on what constitutes excessive wear and tear of leased vehicles can limit the ability of agencies to determine whether it is less expensive to lease or own vehicles. GSA just developed this guidance and is taking steps to implement it.
The experts and federal fleet managers GAO consulted agreed that the use of telematics can facilitate cost savings for some fleets by providing fleet managers with information—such as data on vehicle location, speed, or condition—that they can use to reduce fleet size, fuel use, misuse of vehicles, and unnecessary maintenance. For example, a fleet manager at the Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory reported that since fiscal year 2011, telematics data have helped officials at that facility decide to eliminate 65 leased vehicles for an estimated annual savings of approximately $390,000. However, various factors—such as telematics' cost, characteristics of the fleet, and the level of management support—influence the potential of telematics to facilitate cost savings for a given fleet. The federal fleet managers on GAO's panels suggested that GSA lower the costs of telematic devices to improve the likelihood of achieving cost savings and to help allay management's concerns about return on investment. They also suggested that GSA provide information on agencies' experiences with telematics, such as studies or estimates of cost savings, to further support telematics' adoption in the federal fleet. GSA officials noted that they are currently engaged in efforts to obtain lower prices on telematic devices, and while officials do not currently collect information on agencies' experiences with telematics, they would be able to request it and share any information agencies voluntarily provide. One of GSA's strategic objectives is to enhance relationships with its customers, in part by sharing information that drives improved decision-making. By not collecting and sharing information on federal agencies' experiences with telematics, GSA may be missing an opportunity to help agencies determine whether to adopt telematics in their fleets and identify which devices or approaches have the greatest potential to facilitate cost savings.
Why GAO Did This Study
Agencies (excluding the U.S. Postal Service) spent about $1.1 billion in fiscal year 2012 to lease about 190,000 vehicles from GSA. Recent legislative proposals have called for reductions in the cost and size of federal agencies' fleets. Agencies may choose to have telematic devices installed in leased vehicles; the data these devices provide can be used to manage fleets.
GAO was asked to review GSA's vehicle-leasing program. This report addresses (1) whether and how GSA's leasing rates, terms, and services support agency efforts to reduce fleet costs and (2) the views of selected experts regarding the cost-savings potential of telematics for fleets and the possible implications for GSA's leasing program. GAO reviewed program policies; interviewed GSA officials; held two panel discussions with fleet managers from 10 agencies representing 80 percent of the leased fleet in fiscal year 2011; and interviewed 19 experts with knowledge about telematics or fleet management, as demonstrated by recommendations from fleet management associations, among other considerations. Responses from the panelists and experts are not generalizable.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that GSA (1) examine the trade-offs of changing GSA's lease-rate structure so that agencies pay for their actual fuel use and (2) request information on agencies' experiences with telematics in their fleets and share this information with agencies. GSA agreed with GAO's findings and recommendations.

'We've Had Enough Bushes,' Says Former First Lady Barbara
By Mark Memmott
Originally published on Thu April 25, 2013 10:48 am
Thanks, mom.
On the day her son George's presidential library is being dedicated in Dallas, former first lady Barbara Bush has told NBC's Today show that "we've had enough Bushes" when it comes to seeing the presidency.
She was asked about the possibility of another son, former GOP Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, running for the White House, in 2016.
Today adds that:
"She still called her son [Jeb] 'by far the best-qualified man,' but went on to say she thought there were many worthy candidates."
