Very pleased and highly recommended sara from NYC – Verified Buyer This bed is really worth it's price, the metal frame is very strong. It has good quality wood slats, I'm not worry about breaking them. The bed is packed very well, and arrived in perfect condition. The assembly was a breeze, and it took me and my boyfriend around 15 minutes to put it together The style is a very nice and modern looking, LOVE the rounded corners. it is a platform but there is still room to slide storage boxes underneath. This is such a great bed I highly recommend this bed and am so happy that I got it. |
Ok bed. You get what you pay for. Shawna from Charlottesville, VA – Verified Buyer I bought this bed, and thankfully they placed it near my apartment door because it is a bit heavy. I put it up myself, it didn't require a hammer, or anything but what was provided in the box, and maybe a screwdriver. It was very sturdy at first, until my boyfriend came to visit and we both had to sleep on the bed. I am 150 pounds and he is 180 pounds and the bed wasn't strong enough to handle any type of intimate relations. There are two legs in the middle of the bed: one broke off and split the screw in half, and the other leg bent and now doesn't support the bed at all. Because of this, the middle of the bed bows in a little bit. One night, the slats on his side of the bed fell through and my boyfriend ended up falling through the bed on his side. Of the 4 main legs of the bed, one of them has fallen off twice, and it seems as if my bed is slowly falling apart. When I bought the bed I had fallen for the price and the other people's reviews but this bed was only very good when I was the only person sleeping on it. My suggestion to you: if you are a couple, do not buy this bed! If you sleep on your own then go for it. It's a $100 bed frame, it is what it is I guess. |
Well Made, good buy! Jack from Apple Valley, CA – Verified Buyer We were looking for a twin bed frame that wasn't too expensive, but that was solidly built. It seems that we got what we were hoping for. Shipping was free and speedy. The frame was double boxed, protecting it well. The outside shipping box had taken a few dings while being transported, but when I opened it up the inside box looked brand new. All the parts were in the box, nothing broken, and all fit together well. Took about 20 minutes to put it together. We're happy with the purchase and would recommend it highly. |
Great Buy! Marybeth from Murfreesboro, TN – Verified Buyer I purchased two of these for my (four and two year old) daughters who share a bedroom. We already have platform beds in our master and guest rooms, so these were a great fit for our home. They are sturdier than expected, and while I won't allow the girls to jump on the beds we have all snuggled into one bed together for story time on more than one occassion. Without head/footboards these take up less space than expected. There is not enough clearance under the bed for drawers, but I was able to slide some shallow plastic bins underneath for keepsakes/miscellaneous rarely-used items. As usual, wayfair shipping was fast and the beds were packaged well. All around a great buy - especially when you consider that no boxsprings are needed! |
Great bed for great price! Paula from Madison, WI – Verified Buyer We were looking for a bed for our guest room but didn't want to spend a lot or buy a box spring. This was the perfect answer! Assembly with 2 people took less than an hour. Instructions aren't the most clear I've encountered but we didn't really struggle with them either. One of the legs seemed to bow out slightly more than the others, Wayfair sent us a replacement immediately. We bought a full and slept two adults (both under 170 lbs) no problem. Would recommend! |
Twin bed perfect for small space - excellent value. Kim from Lynchburg, VA – Verified Buyer Strong frame with rounded corners so no on will hit their shin. Has many well-made and well-fitted slats to hold mattress. Is about 11 inches off the floor, so you can store some things under the bed. Goes well with 8" RenewFoam Coil Mattress. Very pleased with entire purchase. It is just the right height for my petite aunt, age 97, to stand up from when getting out of bed, unlike the cot that she had before because the canvas sunk and the mattress was not thick enough. Very pleased. |
PERFECT platform bed minj1 from New York, NY – Verified Buyer Perfect platform bed. Modern and minimalist. The base is true silver. Fits an eleven inch mattress with coils. It's sturdy, yet light and comfortable -to move if needed. So pleased with my purchase. Great buy for the money. |
Sturdy, Well-Made Platform Bed Bridgit from Lexington, KY – Verified Buyer Purchased this bed after reading the other positive reviews, and was so happy with it. The bed was easy to put together with two people, was packaged well, and is extremely sturdy. Goes great with any decor. Highly considering purchasing another one in king size. |
Good low profile frame William from Raleigh, NC – Verified Buyer I purchased the Lunar frame as a cheap alternative to my old DWR Min bed. It doesn't look too different from afar. It's very heavy compared to a what I'm used to, but it was easy to assemble. It took me a year to finally find a frame I liked for under $1000 and I'm really glad I stumbled upon this gem. |
Love it! Kristen from Lake Oswego, OR – Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer This is a great bed especially for small spaces. The quality is very good and it's the only bed I could find, after hours of searching, that did not have any sharp corners. |
Lunar Platform Bed is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: WF-LN-PL-GR-39, WF-LN-PL-GR-54, WF-LN-PL-GR-60, WF-LN-PL-GR-76

"These stunning address labels exude style and class. The traditional design printed in turquoise and mustard yellow are the perfect touch to any letter or package."
"I am born in the year of the rabbit and loved the whimsical bunny designed on this label. It has simple lines and almost cartoonish in appearance. Love it."
"I used these labels to coordinate with the gray polka dot backing on the Bow or Boy invite I used for a baby shower. The Tiny Prints staff was able to coordinate the color of gray on the label to match the back of the invite. Turned out darling! Highly recommend!"
"Lovely to have the address label to match invite. Shame you couldn't order blank labels you could print the recipients details on also"
"This classic design address label is perfect and it is of good quality. We purchased this for our infant's stationary...he is set!"

Old Friends, a non-profit Thoroughbred retirement facility, has received a second $50,000 grant from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The announcement was made Nov. 21 by Old Friends founder and president Michael Blowen.
In 2009 Old Friends was one of five organizations chosen to participate in the ASPCA's "Rescuing Racers Initiative," a $1 million granting opportunity made possible by a donor designed to support horses impacted by the racing industry. Old Friends also received a $50,000 grant in 2010.
The majority of the funds will be used to construct four new paddocks on Old Friends's Dream Chase Farm near Georgetown, Ky., allowing the organization to provide safe retirement for more Thoroughbreds.
Old Friends supports more than 100 retired racehorses, including a dozen on its satellite facility in New York, Old Friends at Cabin Creek: The Bobby Frankel Division.
Most recently Old Friends permanently retired grade I winner and prominent sire Afternoon Deelites, Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT) winner Prized, and Metropolitan Handicap (gr. I) winner You and I. The farms are open to tourists daily by appointment.
"We are so grateful for this funding," said Michael Blowen in a release. "We appreciate the support and confidence the ASPCA has in Old Friends to continue its mission."
In 2010 the ASPCA awarded more than $1 million in the form of 93 grants to equine rescue groups and humane organizations in 32 states, nearly doubling the $546,789 distributed in 2009. The ASPCA works to protect and aid horses through legislation, advocacy, education, targeted grants, and enforcement of the carriage horse and cruelty laws in New York City.

Bling for the business executive |
| Print | |
Saturday, December 01, 2007 |
Who needs the stress of finding the perfect gift for the executive on your list? If money is no object, here are a few suggestions.AMBER NOBE Cartier says this season watches are anything but flat. Released just in time for the holidays is the newest addition to its library of timepieces: the Ballon Bleu.

Aaron Hubbell of Paradise Pen's Portland store says the original 1930s Montegrappa was used by Ernest Hemingway, proving its distinguished look and craftsmanship stand the test of time – or at least longer than a bottle of tequila.

The Hearts on Fire diamonds at Carl Greve are billed as the world's most perfectly cut diamonds. For the clueless gift-giver, these platinum-set sparklers are a safe bet.

Since 1932 Tidewater Transportation & Terminals (operating as Tidewater Barge Lines and Tidewater Terminal Company) has operated a multicommodity transportation and terminal company based in Vancouver, Washington. The friendly expression on the company's shipping containers reflects the attitude of about 330 safety and community-conscious employees but belies how complicated the barge business really is.

Upcoming Event
Healthiest Employers of Greater Cincinnati
Time: 7:00 am - 9:30 am
Place: The Cintas Center at Xavier University
Five things you need to know today, and you really should take a few seconds to learn about GMOs
- Rob Daumeyer
- Editor- Cincinnati Business Courier
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn
Good morning, Cincinnati! Here are the five most important things you need to know to help start your busy business day:
Masters fires back at FDA
It didn't take Norwood-based Masters Pharmaceuticals long to respond to the Food and Drug Administration after the FDA announced it quarantined million of dollars worth of products from Masters' Fairfield warehouse, Lisa Benson (@LisaCinciBiz) reports. Masters general counsel Rick Lauer called the FDA statement "unfortunate and misleading" because the products don't belong to Masters. "We are a third-party logistics provider," he said.
GE incentives revealed
Nobody said it would be cheap. Tom Demeropolis (@TomCinciBiz) reports that General Electric will receive state incentives worth $51.6 million over 15 years for its plan to create 1,400 new jobs somewhere in Cincinnati. That employment total could rise to well over 2,000. GE is looking at the Banks, Mason and Oakley.
Beer money
Who wants some brew? I'm not saying I have any. I'm just asking the question. Actually, I already know the answer: Apparently, we all do! Cincinnati's beer business is blooming. The latest from the suds beat: Chris Wetterich (@ChrisCinciBiz) reports that Rhinegeist, the growing Over-the-Rhine brewery, received state tax credits on Tuesday that will allow it to bring 40 new jobs, retain 15 existing jobs and invest $6.5 million in an expansion of its current facility's production capability.
Tea party struggles
The Enquirer reports that Northern Kentucky Tea Party candidates, after months of noise, didn't show well at all at the polls. In the end, incumbents and non-tea party newcomers were the big winners. "It's a far cry," the Enquirer wrote, "from 2010, when tea party Republican primaries were swept into office … across Northern Kentucky on the coattails of now-U.S. Sen. Rand Paul."
Daumeyer oversees the Courier's editorial department.

If you're still eating your breakfast, you may want to look away now. For I bring news from the world's largest sperm bank, Cryos in Denmark. Its director has announced they are to reject donations from redheads. They are full to capacity – 70 litres, if you must know – and there's no room for any more donations from gingers.
No, I don't want to think about it either. But this is serious: according to Ole Schou, customers are getting pickier, and the redhead supply is outstripping demand. Nobody, it seems, wants a ginger baby.
It is, on the face of it, outrageous. Substitute the word ginger for any of the following: gay, black, Welsh – and you get the picture.
Comic musician Tim Minchin made the point succinctly in a song in which he plays with the jumbled up letters "a couple of Gs, an R and an E, and I and an N", and only later do you realise he's not talking about the N word.
Perhaps more astonishing is the shoulder-shrugging indifference with which the news has been met. A recent poll found that 67 per cent of people think anti-ginger sentiment is a form of racism. But I have yet to hear of any protest riots erupting on the streets of Copenhagen. Peter Tatchell, who can be relied on to take up arms against even the slightest injustice, is unusually quiet this weekend.
It's not as if the sperm bank story is even the only example of gingerism in the news. Much more poignant was the case of the baby seal found in Russia, starving and abandoned because it was covered in ginger hair. Its parents and siblings all had lovely black hair, and instantly shunned the little fella when he popped out. Not even the club-wielding fur-dealers would touch it.
Of course, gingerism is nothing new. It probably dates back to the anti-Irish sentiment of the 19th century or before, when the Irish were regarded as ethnically inferior. But, even though we now know this not to be true, there's no sign of gingerism dying out.
The internet is awash with jokes such as "What's the difference between a terrorist and a redhead?" "You can negotiate with a terrorist." And that's at the tame end.
It's true that some redheads happen to be slightly hot-headed (Rebekah Brooks, Chris Evans). But as with all stereotypes, there are as many exceptions to disprove the rule, such as pixie popstar La Roux, or Lily Cole. In any case, Rebekah Brooks apparently helps her hair with a bit of dye.
But before we all set about boycotting Danish bacon, it's worth considering whether the sperm bank ban is a cause or effect. Cryos is just a business like any other, responding to the demands of market forces. Who can blame their customers for taking advantage of what science has to offer?
Just imagine you are a client, coughing up over £300 per visit. You are seated in a windowless waiting room, flicking through hair swatches. Here are the blondes, ranging from pale metallic Swede to lustrous golden honey. Here are the browns, from a pale nutty tan to locks of sleek jet black. Given the choice, how likely is it that you would plump for the one colour guaranteed to come with freckles and a lifetime of low-level bullying?
At least, that's what I'm told. Not being ginger, I've no idea what they go through. I imagine the comment editor was looking for an outsider's perspective when he asked me to tackle this subject.It is true that, now and again, I meet some short-sighted idiot who mistakes my auburn thatch for a bag of carrots. But the fact is, I have strawberry blond hair. And as there's no room for a picture on this page , you'll just have to take my word for it. And what's wrong with being ginger anyway?

Hardly Knew Her
By Laura Lippman
(Avon A, Paperback, 9780061490965, 292pp.)
Publication Date: September 2009
Shop Local
Enter your zip code below to find indies closest to you.
Hailed as one of the best crime fiction writers in America today, New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman now reveals another level of her mastery. Each of these ingenious tales is a gem--including the Edgar and Anthony awards-nominated story, Scratch a Woman, in which Lippman takes us deep into the private world of a high-priced call girl/madam and devoted soccer mom, exploring the mystery of what may, in fact, be written in the blood. Sometimes poignant, sometimes humorous, always filled with delightfully unanticipated twists and reversals, here are enthralling excursions to the dark side from "one of today's most pleasing storytellers" (San Diego Union-Tribune).

> Back to Slovakia today: another recent survey noted "lifestyle" differences between the Slovaks' and Americans' use of Facebook. Both the Americans and the Slovaks rush to Facebook on Monday, probably to share what happened during the weekend, but then the Americans' use peaks on Wednesdays and Saturdays, while the Slovaks' on Thursdays and Sundays. At least one Slovak newspaper website notes the same peaks as "Slovak" Facebook.
Well, I haven't been to Slovakia since 2006 (skoda!) so perhaps things have changed. But my guess is, a lot of places are still closed on Sundays in Slovakia. so, Slovaks who have home access to the internet have time to surf. We've lost that quiet day; stores in America are open 7 days a week, kids' soccer matches are now being scheduled on Sundays, etc. I don't know how to account for the Wed/Thurs difference; we used to have one weekday afternoon when almost everything would shut down (no longer, of course!), would Slovakia have something like that? still?
I was bored by quiet Sundays and quiet Wednesday afternoons (that was the half-day off in my town) when I was a kid. Now I miss them.

When I was very young, all stores here in Johnstown, New York and area surrounding were closed. Rules changed because men and women worked 5 days a week and needed to shop on Sundays.
Most stores close at 6:00PM on Sunday.

Thanks, Ben. Even if we're not sure of the extent, what you said is valuable and worth keeping in mind as one of the factors that may contribute to the "Facebook cultural difference" between the U.S. and Slovakia.
> how religious the secular USA is compared to "Catholic" Slovakia
Yes, there was international research into religiosity (as opposed to a registered or declared religious affiliation) a number of years ago, both the U.S. and Slovakia were included. It detected a world-wide pattern showing a link between a nation's per-capita purchasing power and religiosity -- the more of the former, the less of the latter.
There was one significant exception to that pattern: the U.S., where religiosity is at the level of Mexico (and higher than in Slovakia), while the Americans' purchasing power is among the highest in the world.

St. Nicholas Our Day Care Center is more than "babysitting." We provide an excellent introduction to education through organized individual and group learning activities.
Children are accepted upon reaching 24 months (2 years) of age.
They do not have to be fully toilet-trained, although we may limit the number of untrained children in order to provide adequate care and supervision.
During the regular school day, children are placed in one of two Preschool groups depending on their age.
During the hours before and after school, these groups may be combined, depending on the number of children present.
We seek to provide a safe, enjoyable, and age-appropriate learning environment that fosters cognitive and academic progress, together with physical, emotional, spiritual, moral, and social growth towards personal maturity and the fulfillment of each individual student's potential as a human person and child of God.

Fountain of Mercy
By Barbara Kralis
�Barbara Kralis 2004
Catholic Online.org
What does the Church mean when she uses this theological phrase, �Fons Misericordiae� or �Fountain of Mercy�?
Let us first look at the Church�s definition of mercy: "A moral virtue that prompts its owner to have compassion for and to succour those in spiritual or temporal want."
Mercy is the one distinctive virtue of being a Christian � to be a Christian is to be merciful.
Furthermore, Clemency (mercy) together with charity is a requirement to perform the necessary Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy.� Without works, our faith is dead. [1]
The theology of the Sacrament of the Eucharist and the Sacrament of Confession as a �fountain of mercy� is found often in Church teaching. [2]�
In the �Catechism of the Council of Trent,� pastors are instructed to teach and compare� "�the Eucharist to a fountain, the other Sacraments to rivulets" (n.2).
St. Bernard writes on the �Fountains of the Savior,� as �waters of pardon from the Fountain of Mercy to wash away our sins.�[3]
The Byzantines pray in the �Kontakion of the Protection � Tone 3� to the �Fountain of Mercy,� the Mother of God, "We believe and profess that you are truly the Mother of God, and that in your deep love for us, you are a Fountain of Mercy�"
Moreover, the Church teaches that of the Seven Sacraments, the other six Sacraments draw souls to the Sacrament of the Eucharist.� "The Church of the new Advent�must be the Church of the Eucharist and of Penance."[4]
Jesus is Divine Mercy.� He loved the sinful world enough to suffer and die for our redemption � �debitum amoris.�[5]
He made it possible for sinners to be restored through the Sacrament of Confession to their former righteousness. [6]
Since Confession is the only way for sinners to attain salvation, the successors of St. Peter have made it their chief concern to summon all men to this �Fountain of Mercy� by encouraging sinners by every means to seek remission.[7]
Most everyone is familiar with the writing of Saint Faustina[8] in her Diary, �Divine Mercy.�� Saint Faustina writes of seeing Jesus in a miraculous apparition in the year 1931 A.D.
As a young Polish nun, Sister Faustina saw Jesus dressed in white garments with red and white rays radiating from the Eucharistic host placed on His heart.[9]� Faustina said that Jesus said to her: "The Blessed Sacrament is the Throne of Mercy."
Jesus told Sister Faustina:
"Paint an image according to the pattern you see with the signature:� �Jesus I trust in you.�� I promise that the soul that venerates this image will not perish�I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the Fountain of Mercy."
Recorded three times in the Diary of Saint Faustina, Jesus told Sister Faustina about the Sacraments of Confession and Holy Communion:� "I want to grant a complete pardon to the souls that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion on the Feast of My Mercy." [10]�
Is not our Lord emphasizing the infinite value of receiving Holy Communion, the Fountain of Mercy, worthily?
We, too, should see in every Holy Communion worthily received the merciful Savior pouring His Blood out as a �Fountain of Mercy� for us.
Here is a beautiful preparation to recite before receiving Holy Communion, the Fountain of Mercy:
"Oratio Sancti Abrosii ante Missam"
(Prayer of St. Ambrose, Bishop and Doctor of the Church)[11]
Lord Jesus Christ, I approach Thy banquet table in fear and trembling, for I am a sinner and dare not rely on my own worth but only on ...

I am engaged in talking with a young friend: young but very mature for her years (she's 19). She has asked me an interesting question - to what extent are charity and mercy necessary components of civility, of civil discourse? as part of this conversation I would like to be able to present her with a clear, simple, definition of Misericordia. I'm having trouble finding one.
As I understand it, Misericordia is a far more extensive concept than that commonly conveyed by current usage of the word 'charity' - which amounts to very little more than an inclination to give people 'stuff'.
I'm having trouble conveying this greater extent without resorting to purely theological argumentation. My friend is not a Catholic and, like many young people today, is averse to the language of religious faith. I have no wish to appear to her as a 'bible-thumping' proselytizer.
If fruit is to be borne, then a seed must be planted. All I'm trying to do is plant a seed.
Any thoughts on how to proceed would be most welcome.

Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips is already on record as saying J.J. Watt is destined for the Hall of Fame.
Watt's teammate, linebacker Brian Cushing, has taken the praise a step further.
Appearing on ESPN's "Inside The Huddle" podcast last week, Cushing said the reigning Defensive Player of the Year could become the greatest defensive player ever.
"The things that he's going to be able to accomplish are unbelievable," Cushing said of the second-year defensive end. "When you talk about the potential that he has of really being the greatest defensive player ever, he could be. I know that's very premature but he's that kind of player. I think if he just keeps doing what he's doing and obviously stays healthy, he's on that track."
This prediction could indeed be "premature," but the feat in no way should be put past Watt.
The 24-year-old is a coming off a monster season in 2012, when he recorded a league-leading 20.5 sacks, made 81 tackles, deflected 16 passes --...

Yeah, that, especially the first method. It's worth noting that you don't have to wait for a full half-life to pass.
[–]pinball_wizard85 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
How do we (or more specifically, awesome scientists) see the disintegration in a time scale inside 31,000,billion,billion years. I have no idea about these things, but if it is measured over a 40 year period, that is surely still way too small to measure. I'm not sure if I am making sense, so think grain of sand on a beach metaphor.

While there is a lot of technical stuff that needs to be done to remove noise, the main helper is the sheer number of atoms in amount of matter we usually see.
F.e. in 1 kg of Bismuth-209, there are 2.9x1024 atoms of bismuth. It's half-life is 600x1024 seconds. Thus, in an hour you can expect to see the decay of 12 atoms in that kilogram of bismuth, and thus - the generation of 12 alpha particles. With good equipment, and enough material, the measurements can be done in reasonable time - days. The experiment that measured the half life of bismuth used 62 grams of metal, and they detected 128 particles in 5 days.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The Treasury Department did not adequately consider all options when bailing out troubled finance company GMAC and could have better protected taxpayers' money, according to a report released Thursday.
In its March report, the Congressional Oversight Panel expressed concerns about Treasury's handling of GMAC, the General Motors in-house credit arm that has received three government bailouts.
"We take no position on whether Treasury should have [bailed out] GMAC," said panel chair Elizabeth Warren, in a call with reporters. "But it missed ways to save taxpayers' money."
All told, taxpayers have put $17.2 billion into GMAC and it remains in doubt whether any of those funds will be repaid.
The report said Treasury missed opportunities to increase accountability and better protect taxpayers' money.
For example, the report noted, GMAC was not subjected to the same "sweeping changes" that auto companies were required to undergo in order to receive bailout funds: It did not wipe out equity holders. It also was not required to detail how it planned to return to profitability or provide a public explanation of how the company would use funds to increase lending.
The panel's report explained that GMAC expanded over the years beyond auto lending to include home mortgages, auto insurance and financing for manufacturers. But it was GMAC's "historic ties to GM [that] would, in the end, prove to be its salvation," the report said.
When the auto industry began to collapse under the weight of the recession, the government deemed GMAC worthy of a bailout in order to save General Motors and Chrysler as it provided dealers with almost all of the loans to purchase inventory.
GMAC lost more than $5 billion in the first nine months of 2009 and has lost money in six of seven quarters, including two quarters in 2008 in which it lost at least $2.5 billion.
GMAC was one of 19 banks that underwent stress tests in order to determine whether it could survive under a deep economic downturn. The test revealed that GMAC needed more capital but could not raise it in the markets like other institutions.
As such, GMAC received $7.5 billion from the government at the end of 2008 and $6 billion in the middle of last year in an effort to shore up the sagging auto financing market.
GMAC was considered a poor candidate for bankruptcy in 2008, but the panel suggested such a plan "could have preserved GMAC's automotive lending functions while winding down its other, less significant operations ... and putting the company on sounder economic footing."
Also of concern, the panel said, is that Treasury has not adequately considered the possibility of merging GMAC back into GM. The report said this move would streamline GM's operations into a business model like that of most other auto manufacturers and would strengthen the automaker.
"The rescue also came at great expense," the report noted, "and taxpayers already bear significant exposure to the company."
Warren, the panel chair, noted GMAC was so weighed down by losses in its residential mortgage unit that the company's chief executive once referred to the sector as "the millstone around the company's neck."
Losses on that residential mortgage portfolio accounted for $4 out of every $5 that GMAC lost last year -- that is, $8.3 billion out of the $10.3 billion that the company lost in total, Warren said.
GMAC officials testified before the panel last week, saying the company expects to repay the Treasury loans and issue common stock within two years, but those statements were met with skepticism.
Similarly, the panel expressed concern that GMAC has not been required to state a viable plan for its future or for repaying bailout funds.
"Moving forward, Treasury should clearly articulate its exit strategy," the report concluded. "More than a year has elapsed since the [first GMAC bailout] ... and it is long past time for taxpayers to have a clear view of the road ahead."
