CHICAGO — Less than six weeks in, 2014 has already been a good year for Cummins Engine, and thereÆs plenty of room for it to get better.
If you work in trucking, construction, agriculture or maritime shipping, you probably already know the Columbus, Ind., company as the worldÆs biggest independent maker of diesel engines, revered for the durability and longevity of its products. If you donÆt know Cummins yet, youÆll have plenty of opportunities to learn about it in the future. ItÆs expanding beyond the big diesels for semi trucks, heavy-duty pickups, ocean freighters, generators, construction and mining equipment.
ChryslerÆs Ram trucks celebrated 25 years of offering Cummins turbodiesels in its biggest and most capable pickups last week.
ōTwenty-five years is a big deal in any relationship,ö Carl Lally, manager of Ram truck operations, said. ōThe partnership has always delivered a level of quality and reliability that benefits both companies.ö
The Ram pickup is such a fixture now, but Chrysler was an also-ran in the pickup market for decades. It changed that with bold designs and by tying its image to CumminsÆ sterling reputation. A whopping 80% of Ram heavy-duty pickups use Cummins turbodiesels.
Nissan is working from the same playbook. The next generation of its Titan full-size pickup will have a 5.0-liter Cummins V8 when it goes on sale next year, and the company is experimenting with a Cummins 2.8-liter diesel it may offer in its Frontier midsize pickup.
■ Related: Nissan shows diesel-powered Frontier in Chicago
ōReputations donÆt get any better than Cummins,ö said Fred Diaz, Nissan senior vice president for sales and service. ōPutting a Cummins engine in it legitimizes you with a lot of truckers. ItÆs a natural for the next Titan.ö
The surging interest in diesels stems from their fuel economy and power. A diesel typically uses between 25% and 30% less fuel than a comparable gasoline engine. Diesels also produce more torque at lower engine speeds. That means drivers donÆt have to rev their engines as high to tow heavy loads or accelerate.
The silver ōCummins turbodiesel badgeö and CumminsÆ red paint are instantly recognizable to buyers, delivering a promise of durability, capability and fuel economy thatÆs validated by CumminsÆ 95-year history.
This wouldnÆt be the first time Cummins morphed and grew after a financial crisis. Founder Clessie Cummins created the company to make engines for yachts in the Roaring Æ20s. When the yacht market tanked in the Great Depression, the company faced liquidation. In desperation, Clessie fitted one of his engines into a Packard and took his banker for a drive on Christmas Eve 1929. He came back with a promise of continued financing.
ōThereÆs a sense of pride that the company still has its founderÆs name in the logo,ö said Cummins spokesman Clint Garrett.
Some outsiders questioned CumminsÆ future with Chrysler when a Ram pickup using a 3.0-liter Fiat diesel V6 achieved an Environmental Protection Agency rating of 28 m.p.g. last week. Chrysler and Cummins both say the partnership is rock solid.
ōWeÆre very happy with Cummins. We have no interest in dropping the relationship,ö Lally said. ōTwenty-five years and more than 2 million sold Ś you donÆt break that kind of strong partnership.ö
Cummins didnÆt build an engine small enough for the light-duty Ram before Chrysler disclosed its plan. ThatÆs changed, as demonstrated by the 5.0- and 2.8-liter engines Nissan is working with.
ōThe trend toward downsizing engines and increasing diesel use could be a good fit for us in the market,ö Garrett said.

text: EPA Rethinks Hybrid Mileage And hauls in Ford for special testing By Kevin Spak, Newser Staff Posted Mar 1, 2013 1:31 PM CST STORY COMMENTS (21) (Newser) – The EPA is taking the unusual step of hauling in Ford's C-Max hybrid for special testing as it reevaluates its rules for determining mileage for next-generation hybrids, USA Today reports. Usually, the EPA lets automakers test their fuel mileage themselves according to its rules, but the agency has had a black eye ever since Consumer Reports blasted Ford's hybrids in December for not getting anywhere close to their lofty advertised ratings in real-world usage. The EPA is worried that its entire approach to the advanced hybrids is flawed. These vehicles can cruise at highway speeds without using any gas at all, but mileage will vary wildly depending on usage. "If you drive a hybrid the way you drive your Porsche, you are going to get less than the national average," says the EPA's director of the office of transportation. The class of hybrids also includes the Chevy Volt, but it hasn't gotten the same kind of complaints Ford's hybrids have. Ford Motor Co. President and CEO Alan Mulally and Ryan Seacrest appear on stage together during an event to promote the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid, Sept. 18, 2012 in New York's Times Square.

The song "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" by The Script was playing when Sam/Jim was unloading his things from his car and he was about to move in with Melinda.
Melinda: Look, there's something I have to tell you and it's not going to be easy for me or you I'm sure. Do you have an open mind?
Jim/Sam: More like an empty one, but yeah.
Melinda: Do you believe in the after-life?
Sam/Jim: Heaven or ghosts?
Melinda: Both. What about stuff like reincarnation?
Jim/Sam: Like respect cows because they might be your ancestors?
Melinda: Sort of. My husband just died and you just had a brush with death also -
Sam/Jim: Wait, you're not gonna tell me you think I'm your husband reincarnated? Because you're the only sane person I've met since I woke up.
Melinda: No, no of course not. I just thought maybe you might be able to understand what he went through because you kinda just died yourself and I just need to know he's alright wherever he is.
Sam/Jim: Oh, sorry.
Melinda: Who are you? What do you want? You were at the hospital, you've been following me. Just tell me what you want or I cant help you.
Alan Walters: The two of you, you're both thieves but you wont get to keep what you've stolen.
Melinda: What have I stolen?
Alan Walters: You know perfectly well.
Delia: (to Melinda) So there's no middle ground? I have to check my common sense at the door, or we can't be friends? (walks out of the shop)
Melinda: I know it's bizarre. Alright, it's even hard for me to believe but it's what happened. Jim is not just out there somewhere, he's here in this man's body.
Delia: Melinda...
Melinda: No, he took a chance out of love and out of loyalty for the one person who meant everything to him. Even when he knows it doesn't make any sense. That is what love is. In case you're unsure.

Highlands Ranch at a Glance
In 1891, a Denver rancher named John W. Springer built a mansion on the 22,000 acres that would later become Highlands Ranch. He called the mansion Castle Isabel, after his young wife. Publications by the Highlands Ranch Community Association claim that Springer is a descendant of a Russian czar, though they neglect to mention that he is best remembered for a sensationalistic murder trial that resulted when one of his wife's lovers shot another in the Brown Palace Hotel in 1910.
Springer's descendant sold the property to the head of Phillips Petroleum in 1920, who in turn sold it to Wolhurst Stock Farms six years later. In 1937, Lawrence Phipps Jr., son of a U.S. senator, bought the land for cattle ranching.
Phipps died in the mansion in 1976. Two years later, the California-based Mission Viejo Company purchased the land for a reported $24 million from a group of investors led by oil tycoon Marvin Davis. Mission Viejo officially named the property Highlands Ranch.
Only 11,000 residents joined the Ranch during its first decade. Then, in the 1990s, aided by employment growth in the nearby Denver Technology Center and Mission Viejo's decision to sell lots to other homebuilders, the population of Highlands Ranch shot to 70,000. For a time, real estate agents said that homebuyers could get more quality home for their money in Highlands Ranch than just about anywhere else in the Denver area.
But the massive growth caught up with homeowners, who complained that the same glut of new developments that made Highlands Ranch such a deal was also torpedoing their resale values. In 1997, the California-based builder Shea Homes bought the Ranch from Mission Viejo then-owner Philip Morris. Shea Homes says they have since slowed growth from about 2,500 new homes per year to 1,000. By 2005, the community will be built out at 36,700 homes, with an estimated population of 95,000.
Today Highlands Ranch is one of the largest unincorporated communities in the country; it's governed by elected county commissioners and a board of representatives. Homeowners pay a $382 annual fee to the Highlands Ranch Community Association, a de facto secondary local government with an annual budget of $14 million. The funds pay for a family's membership to the popular recreation centers, as well as to help fund community programs and the HRCA administration.
Services such as police, roads and schools are paid for through property taxes and provided by Douglas County, while fire services are contracted to the Littleton Fire Department. New-home prices in Highlands Ranch begin around $165,000 for a townhouse and climb to more than $1 million for a custom home.
And Highlands Ranch continues to appeal to its target buyers. Echoing the praises of many residents, three-year homeowner Julie Bautista says, "It's a great place to raise a family, with great schools and lots of outdoor opportunities."

Behringer is an audio equipment company founded by Uli Behringer in 1989, in Willich, Germany. Behringer was listed as the 14th largest manufacturer of music products in 2007.[3] Behringer is a multinational group of companies, with direct marketing presence in 10 countries or territories and a sales network in over 130 countries around the world. Though originally a German manufacturer, the company now makes its products in China.
The company is owned by Music Group, a holding company chaired by Uli Behringer, which also owns other audio companies such as Midas, Klark Teknik and Bugera,[4] as well as Electronic Manufacturing Services company Eurotec. In June 2012, Music Group also acquired Turbosound company, which designs and manufactures professional loudspeaker systems and was formerly owned by Harman.[5][6]
1989–2001: Foundation and early development[edit]
Uli Behringer, the company's founder, was committed to music and technology from a very early age, and had constructed a synthesizer (the UB-1) by the age of 16.[1]
While studying sound engineering and classical piano at the Robert Schumann conservatory in Düsseldorf, Behringer found the university had limited equipment for student use, so he started to build his own products. His fellow students requested equipment from him too, and soon he was receiving more orders than he could handle himself, leading to the creation of Behringer Inc.[1] In the early days, Behringer focused on studio audio processors such as noise reduction systems and compressors,[1] but the product line soon included guitar amps, PA amplifiers and loudspeakers, mixing boards, stompboxes, recording interfaces, microphones, digital pianos, guitars, lighting equipment, etc. The appeal of Behringer's products was the package of performance and low price.[7]
While Behringer products were manufactured in Willich, Germany, many of the individual components were imported from mainland China. In 1990, to lower production costs, Behringer shifted production from West Germany to mainland China. Initially, subcontractors were engaged to produce the equipment. By 1997, Uli Behringer had relocated to Hong Kong in an effort to supervise manufacturing quality and to better understand Chinese culture.[8][9]
Ear logo[edit]
According to Uli Behringer his piano teacher, impressed with his sense of perfect pitch, nicknamed him "The Ear", the inspiration for the Behringer Ear logo. The highlighted "ING" stands for "diploma engineer", or the German academic title "Dipl.-Ing", which he received upon his graduation from the University of Düsseldorf.[10]
The logo was updated to the current logo on September 2010.[11]
CoolAudio acquisition[edit]
In May 2000, Behringer acquired the rights to the entire CoolAudio technology from Intersil Corporation, a US-based semi-conductor manufacturer. CoolAudio is a high-power Class-D amplification technology with power ratings up to 4,000 Watts and efficiencies up to 90%, which has been rated as high audio quality. The acquisition included an extensive intellectual property portfolio and licensees such as Alpine and Rowe, among others.[12]
2002–2007: Behringer City[edit]
In 2002, Behringer completed its own factory, Behringer City, in Zhongshan of China's Guangdong province after it consolidated more than ten separate production locations into one vertically integrated plant. Comprising eight buildings that produces electronics, speakers, guitars and digital pianos and also hosts an onsite health clinic.[7] This strategy was different than that taken by other musical instrument companies who used third party manufacturers. Choosing to run a self-contained plant allowed Behringer a greater level of quality control.[7] The 1,200,000-square-foot (110,000 m2) manufacturing complex in Zhongshan ships more than 2.5 million Behringer products per year to markets around the globe. The plant turns out over 50,000 mixers per month with a failure rate that is less than 0.1%.[7]
Behringer University[edit]
Inspired by lean manufacturing, and driven by the Kaizen philosophy of continual improvement,[9] Behringer makes efforts to help its employees to improve. "Behringer University" supplies employees with training resources and E-learning courses to hone their career skills within the company. This project includes classes for management, career planning, health, language, and general knowledge.[1][9]
In 2008, Uli Behringer was one of 60 finalists in "Entrepreneur of the Year" by Ernst & Young of Germany.[13]
Behringer products have received industry recognition as well. Products to receive industry recognition include:
- DSP110 Shark – Keyboard Magazine, "Key Buy" Award, 2001[14]
- Mixers – Acoustic Guitar Magazine, "Player's Award", 2002[15]

FCC dispute[edit]
In February 2006, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fined Behringer $1M,[22] issuing a Notice of Apparent Liability against Behringer, claiming that 50 of the company's products had not been tested for conducted and radiated emissions limits as required by US law,[23] and noting that Behringer continued to sell the products for a year after being notified.[22] Behringer had believed that since the units had passed stringent European CE standards, they would also comply with FCC verification requirements.[22] According to Behringer, it had overlooked the differences in testing standards and procedures under FCC and European requirements and has since implemented a complete UL certified safety and EMC testing laboratory under the UL certified witness program, including an in-house audit and global regulatory review system.[24]
Legal cases[edit]
In June 1997, Mackie accused Behringer of trademark and trade dress infringement, and brought suit seeking $327M in damages[25][26] but such claims were later rejected by the court. In their suit, Mackie said that Behringer had a history of copying products by other manufacturers and selling them as their own.[27] The Mackie suit detailed an instance, in which Behringer was sued by Aphex Systems for copying the Aural Exciter Type F—in that case Aphex Systems won 690,000 Deutsche Mark.[27] The Mackie suit also mentioned similar cases filed by BBE, dbx and Drawmer.[27] On 30 November 1999, the U.S. District Court in Seattle, Washington, dismissed Mackie claims that Behringer had infringed on Mackie copyrights with its MX 8000 mixer, noting that circuit schematics are not covered by copyright laws.[28][29][30]
In 2005, Roland Corporation sued to enforce Roland's trade dress, trademark, and other intellectual property rights with regard to Behringer's recently released guitar pedals.[31] The two companies came to a confidential settlement in 2006 after Behringer changed their designs.[32]
In 2009 Peavey Electronics Corp. filed two lawsuits against various companies under Behringer/Music Group umbrella for patent infringement, federal and common law trademark infringement, false designation of origin, trademark dilution and unfair competition.[33] In 2011 The Music Group filed a lawsuit against Peavey for "false advertising, false patent marking and unfair competition".[34]

The phrase signified the start .inappropriate relationship seemed an odd way for the MC to word the question. I was puzzled why he just didnt ask how the A started. After mulling it over for a few days, I think he intentionally used the phrasing to direct attention to boundaries rather than the emotional or physical aspects of an affair. But then I do tend to over analyze things. WW thought about his question for a few seconds before she replied she feels the line was crossed the first time the either of them expressed an emotional attachment for the other. (Her words, not mine) MC then said, You dont think anything you and (POS mOM) were doing before then was inappropriate? WW said maybe, but she honestly couldnt think of anything inappropriate before that time. She went on to add, before the first time the word Love was used there was no physical or inappropriate contact other than a harmless platonic hug or two.
Knowing he would be asking me the same question, or at least ask me how I felt about the way WW answered the question; my mind was going a mile-a-minute formulating my own answer.
When he did ask, I replied the relationship became inappropriate the first time either of them were disrespectful of their spouses or said something disparaging about their spouse. Our MC said that seemed a little ambiguous. He asked me to give an example or two of things that might have happened that I would consider disrespectful or the type of comment I would consider disparaging.
I said them the first time they stole time away from their families to be together even if it was something as simple as coffee after class. It was unequivocally disrespectful if they lied or forgot to mention to their respective spouses that they were eating lunch together or going out after classes for a drink or anything of that nature.
MC asked me why I would think it was disrespectful for them to eat lunch or stop for coffee. I told him the disrespect was in not telling the spouse. That WW clearly knew she was doing something wrong or would have mentioned had lunch with POS PhD today or asked if I would mind if she went out for a drink with him.
MC asked so it would have been perfectly fine for them to meet as long as she told you after the fact? I said no, but it was definitely wrong for her to either lie or omit telling me. That depending on the reason it might be fine for them to meet outside the office, there could be legitimate reasons, but the lies clearly made it wrong.
I also told them the first time WW said something critical about our marriage, our daughter, or me, a line had been crossed. If she mentioned even during casual conversation something like I dont like the way my husband loads the dishwasher (something we have argued about for over thirty years) then she was taking internal marriage issues outside the marriage. MC asked if it was ever OK for WW to be critical of the way I load the dishwasher. I said yes; if we were sitting around with several of our friends and she mentioned it I would just shoot back at least I try to load the dishwasher, how many other husbands do that much? The difference in my mind is that I am there. Im dont think I would even mind if she were with a bunch of her girlfriends and she mentioned it. I would depend on the circumstances surrounding the conversation. A bunch of women sipping wine complaining about their husbands is one thing. A group of women sipping wine and only one of them complaining about her husband is another thing altogether.
I dont think either one of them liked my examples and WW had a funny look on her face. She commented that my examples were pretty harsh. I turned it around and asked her how she would feel if I met an attractive co-worker for coffee and complained to her about something WW does or doesnt do. Then I told them, if I were a player trying to get into a womans panties, the first time a woman complained to me about her husband I would commiserate and have her in bed before the month was out.
From the look on her face, WW had an eureka moment and was very quiet the rest of the session. For the last couple of days, she has been rewriting her timeline and remembrances with an almost religious fervor.
I'm curious. Am I wrong in my thinking about when lines were crossed. Both WW and MC seemed to not care for my answers. (But neither tried to change my thinking!)
Her 'A' 1994(?) through 1998 D-Day 7/4/2013 Yes, I didn't find out for almost 15 years... but the pain is just as bad as if she were with him last week.
Complaining about your BS is part of rewriting marital history (another step on the slippery slope). As a BS I have identified the behaviours you describe as those of my WS. He gets it now, it's starts with the slippery slope. He initially though his A started with the first kiss, not the attraction, the secret emails, time spent together that I didn't know about, telephone conversations, flirting, the fantasizing he did...
Our WS' have boundary issues. As for your therapist, she may have been using her poker face? Or your answers were so astute that she surprised her a bit?
[This message edited by Knowing at 11:28 AM, November 4th (Monday)]
We are in R.
Leaning towards leaving, no one deserves this pain.
MC asked me why I would think it was disrespectful for them to eat lunch or stop for coffee. I told him the disrespect was in not telling the spouse. That WW clearly knew she was doing something wrong or would have mentioned had lunch with POS PhD today or asked if I would mind if she went out for a drink with him. MC asked so it would have been perfectly fine for them to meet as long as she told you after the fact? I said no, but it was definitely wrong for her to either lie or omit telling me. That depending on the reason it might be fine for them to meet outside the office, there could be legitimate reasons, but the lies clearly made it wrong.
Spot. On.
I turned it around and asked her how she would feel if I met an attractive co-worker for coffee and complained to her about something WW does or doesnt do.
Personally I don't think you were wrong at all with your answers. In fact I think you explained the slippery downward slope into affair land pretty perfectly. I have no idea why your MC wouldn't have liked it, but I hope from what you say about your wife working so diligently on her timeline since the session that she did get some insight from it.
Don't take your MC's silence or questions as disagreement with your answers. At times, that is a tactic to be used to get YOU to come up with answers/discussions, rather than them. Obviously it produced a change in your WW.
Several months ago WH and I were talking and I was trying to figure out exactly when the A started - he said "the February, when she asked me if I would be willing to have a sexual relationship outside my marriage". I said "so you would have been perfectly happy for me to witness your interactions with OW all the months you worked with her prior to the February?" He gave it some thought and said "No probably not" I asked why and he said "we were flirtatious, I definitely wouldn't have wanted you to see us"
For me THAT is the moment the A started, the very moment he would not have been happy for me to see what was going on between them.
After some digging and delving it turned out that the EA began in the July or August... Looooong before the February!!
My H's A started with the very first email she sent him and he didn't tell me. No reason to keep any secrets from your spouse at all. No reason to not tell your spouse everything about everything.
I do agree that sharing personal issues about your SO is crossing a boundary, but not convinced it is necessarly a start of an A.
I will admit to crossing those same boundaries before, but it has never lead to an A. However I know realize that it CAN be the start of one and besides it is just wrong.
So now I just imagine WW is next to me whenever I have conversations in person or with anything I write - this site is the only expections). I
My WH and I discuss this at length on a regular basis. He still doesn't get it. I'm going to have him read this thread, if I have to read it to him he will at least hear it!!!
If he is interacting with someone, anyone, and would not say something to someone with me there, he should not be saying it with me NOT there. Make sense? It does to me, not to him. I have the same conversation with him about when things started. He says it started with the sex, I know it started WAY before that. We have MC tomorrow, I may bring this up again. And don't get me started with the timeline. I still don't have one, I've been asking for 8 months. Guess I'm not important enough for him to put the effort into it.
Trust is earned, respect is given, and loyalty is demonstrated. Betrayal of any one is to lose all three.
Many BS knew about the person in the EA or PA- as in that BS knew the person existed, or was even friends with the WS, but didn't know the extent because details were ommitted and outright lies were told.
As soon as information is ommitted intentionally because the WS thinks that the BS would be upset if they found out...it's is an A.
"What did you expect? I am a scorpion."
My WS had a long-distance flirtation with the OW for many years - most of that was probably fairly innocent, but I count it as inappropriate because he hid it from me. He knew it was wrong because she wasn't 'just a friend'. In one exchange, they even discussed it. He said I wouldn't 'understand' and would be jealous, implying that he thought their relationship was a totally innocent friendship, but that it could be 'misconstrued'.
If I follow the logic, though, that the A started with these early messages, then in truth the A occurred for nearly 5 years of our 8 year relationship, even if the core of the EA/PA only lasted a year or so.
That's really sad.
all that other stuff about them being friends, etc...is all BS. married people dont have any business being friends with the opposite sex. for what? btdt game.
After I stopped working I gave up all my own male friends/acquaintances, with the exception of friends of both WH and myself.. I felt it was to inappropriate to have a friendship with someone WH wasn't associating with. I do still have male friends but only time we met up is with the whole family (they are all married/have children as well) and any time we talk the conversations are limited to kids/work/sports etc.
any action , written text, or email you would not want your spouse to witness or read
This may be too broad of an answer. I post here on SI and don't let my spouse know that I am doing it. If she did find out it wouldnt be the worst thing but this is my place to help deal with it all. I use SI to sort out my thoughts. By your definition this would be cheating.

Judges 10
He judged Israel twenty-three years; then he died and was buried in Shamir.
After him arose Jair the Gileadite, and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
And he had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkey colts, and they had thirty towns called Havvoth-jair which to this day are in the land of Gilead.
And Jair died and was buried in Kamon.
And the Israelites again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, served the Baals, the Ashtaroth , the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites, and the gods of the Philistines. They forsook the Lord and did not serve Him.
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites,
And they oppressed and crushed and broke the Israelites that year. For eighteen years they oppressed all the Israelites beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
And the Ammonites passed over the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was sorely distressed.
And the Israelites cried to the Lord, saying, We have sinned against You, because we have forsaken our God and have served the Baals.
And the Lord said to the Israelites, Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, and the Philistines?
Also when the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites oppressed and crushed you, you cried to Me, and I delivered you out of their hands.
Yet you have forsaken Me and served other gods; therefore I will deliver you no more.
Go, cry to the gods you have chosen; let them deliver you in your time of distress.
And the Israelites said to the Lord, We have sinned, do to us whatever seems good to You; only deliver us, we pray You, this day.
So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord, and His heart became impatient over the misery of Israel.
Then the Ammonites were gathered together and they encamped in Gilead. And the Israelites assembled and encamped at Mizpah.
And the leaders of Gilead said one to another, Who is the man who will begin to fight against the Ammonites? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.

Senate Committee on Armed Services
From OpenCongress Wiki
The Committee on Armed Services is a committee of the United States Senate empowered with legislative oversight of the nation's military, including the Department of Defense, military research and development, nuclear energy (as pertaining to national security), benefits for members of the military, the Selective Service System and other matters related to defense policy. The Armed Services Committee was created as a result of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 following U.S. victory in the Second World War. It merged the responsibilities of the Committee on Naval Affairs (established in 1816) and the Committee on Military Affairs (also established in 1816). Considered one of the most powerful Senate committees, its broad mandate allowed it to report some of the most extensive and revolutionary legislation during the Cold War years, including the National Security Act of 1947.

Walter Reed
The Armed Services Committee announced on February 26, 2007 that it would be investigating the events and practices that led to Walter Reed, the premiere military medical facility in the U.S., slipping in to a state of "neglect." The announcement stated that on the 6th of March the committee would hear the testimony of several top military medical officers regarding this issue. [1]
Boeing contract
Sen. John McCain, the Ranking Member in the 110th Congress, began scrutinizing a $15 billion contract awarded to Boeing for search and rescue helicopters granted in 2006. McCain has previously derailed contracts, such as a Boeing midair refueling tanker contract several years before. [1]
Activities in the 110th Congress
Petraeus report
On September 11, 2007, General David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker testified before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and the Senate Committee on Armed Services. During his testimony he was questioned by five Presidential hopefuls, Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), Barack Obama (D-Ill.), Joe Biden (D-Del.), Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), and John McCain (R-Ariz.), along with many other senators. During the questioning, Democrats sought to portray Petraeus's description of the situation in Iraq as overly optimistic, while Petraeus and Crocker defended their assessment.[2]

WASHINGTON (AP) - America's banks are still broken despite all their bailout billions, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told impatient rescue overseers Tuesday as they pressed him on when things will get better and how much it will cost. A bleak new report estimated U.S. banks and other financial institutions could lose a stunning $2.7 trillion in all.
How well is the mostly-spent $700 billion federal bailout working? "To date, frankly, the evidence is mixed," Geithner told a congressionally appointed oversight panel.
Confidence in the program is wearing thin on Capitol Hill. With lawmakers back from their spring break, even bailout supporters are
skeptical that Congress - weary of bankers' bonuses and still-scarce credit - would approve additional bank rescue money if requested.
Geithner's testimony signaled that the administration was not preparing to ask.
Wall Street was cheered by Geithner's assessment that "the vast majority" of banks could be considered well-capitalized. Bank stocks had slid on Monday but bounced back on Tuesday.
Still, the government's effort to stabilize the financial sector and unclog credit markets has come under heavy scrutiny. Officials must do a better job in carrying out and explaining its efforts to shore up the financial system, the head of the oversight panel told Geithner.
"The sense of fear and uncertainty has not gone away, but it's been joined by a new sense of anger and frustration," said Elizabeth Warren, who is also a Harvard University law professor. "People are angry that, even if they have consistently paid their bills on time and never missed a payment, their TARP-assisted banks are unilaterally raising their interest rates or slashing their credit lines."
Of the $700 billion authorized by Congress for the Troubled Asset Relief Program last October, Geithner said about $110 billion is left. With about $25 billion expected to be repaid this year, the total available is about $135 billion.
Some banks are maneuvering to pay back some of the bailout money, unhappy with the strings attached. But Geithner said that doesn't mean the government would necessarily accept the repayments.
These questions have to be first answered, he said: "Do the institutions themselves have enough capital to be able to lend and does the system as a whole, is it working for the American people for recovery?" A series of "stress tests" are being administered to banks by the administration to help judge their financial health.
The treasury secretary said that while most banks have more than enough capital to satisfy federal regulators, a combination of factors - including worries about the broader economy and the crushing weight on their balance sheets of bad loans and other toxic securities - was feeding "uncertainty about the health of individual banks."
That, in turn, "has sharply reduced lending across the financial system" and was holding back economic recovery, Geithner said.
Geithner testified on a day that saw a spate of reports suggesting the economic downturn is far from over and is growing ever more expensive:
Geithner was asked by panel member Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas, one of two Republicans on the five-member panel, "What is the exit strategy from AIG?"
The treasury secretary could not provide an answer, saying "very difficult judgments" were involved and that the government still lacked the express authority to fully manage the company, even though roughly $180 billion in taxpayer support has been pledged to the giant insurer, and the government effectively owns 80 percent of the company stock.
Geithner noted Obama administration efforts to gain legislative authority to more closely regulate sprawling financial institutions like AIG that are not banks.
Former Republican Sen. John Sununu of New Hampshire told Geithner that uncertainty over the bank stress tests and the prospect that the government might take a more active shareholder role in bailed-out banks was leaving "more questions unanswered than answered."
Geithner insisted steps taken by the administration were helping to cushion the economic pain from what he called a continuing "very severe financial crisis, the worst in generations."
Despite government help to banks, "the cost of credit is still very high. Reports on bank lending show significant declines in lending for consumer loans, for commercial and industrial loans, although mortgage refinancings have picked up considerably," he said.
Meanwhile, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz said stricter rules on the use of bailout money is needed as well as a signal that there is no more money in the pipeline.
"I think it is imperative that Congress narrow the breadth of this new corporate welfare state," he told the Joint Economic Committee at a separate hearing. "It is people that we should be protecting, not corporations."
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said giving banks more money is "out of the question" right now. In an interview with The Associated Press, Schumer said he supports converting future TARP loans for banks into government-owned shares in the companies. He acknowledged that such an approach is less than ideal. "There's legitimate worry that political, instead of economic decisions are made," Schumer said.

Recurring Role |
Connie Rubirosa describes her sister having a physically abusive boyfriend; having a family member in an abusive relationship is something she has in common with Jack McCoy, whose father physically abused his mother.
Connie Rubirosa: Tory keeps dusting something off his jacket and in the courtroom I thought he was wearing makeup, like my sister used to wear after a rough night with her abusive boyfriend.
Jack McCoy: How thoroughly did we look into the Quinlann family?
Connie Rubirosa: Not that thoroughly, they weren't suspects.
Connie Rubirosa: What if Tory was a well-adjusted kid from a good family?
Jack McCoy: Not our facts. (pauses) I hope we never have to try that case.
Dr. Elizabeth Olivet: Tory is not an automaton who was programmed to do Roger Kraslow's bidding. He had free will, and he certainly knew right from wrong.
Connie Rubirosa: We're getting our ass kicked.
Jack McCoy: Thanks for sugar coating it. Any suggestions?
Dr. Elizabeth Olivet (about Tory): I think he viewed Kevin as a rival for Kraslow's affections, as twisted as that was.
Jack McCoy (to Roger Kraslow): Enough of your treacly mea culpas!
Roger Kraslow: I know you think I'm a monster, but I loved [him] like a son.
Connie Rubirosa: Like a son you sexually abused.
Roger Kraslow: At first, yes.
Jack McCoy: I'm not in any mood for a sob story! You're a predator, Mr. Kraslow!
Roger Kraslow (as he's being arrested): I need to get home to my son!
(Watching Tory on a talk show)
Jack McCoy: The last thing that kid needs is to be trotted around like a circus freak.
Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers: The boy was smothered to death between 7 and 9, night before last.
Nina Cassady: While we were busy collaring a burglar.
Anita Van Buren: We've got a hostage team on the way.
Nina Cassady: Let's hope there is a hostage and Kevin's still alive.
Special billing was given to Carolyn McCormick (with) and Liam Aiken (and)in this episode.
Nina Cassady: (of quiet neighborhoods) Blue Velvet -- white picket fences, with a severed ear on the lawn.
The opening sequence of the film Blue Velvet is just like Detective Cassady describes. After observing a normal suburb, the camera pans down to show us a human ear hidden in the grass. After the main character finds it, he's drawn into a seedy underworld he never knew existed in his hometown.
This episode appears to be ripped from the headlines of the Michael J. Devlin case. Michael J. Devlin on January 12, 2007, was arrested and charged for the abduction four days earlier of 13-year-old William 'Ben' Ownby. The boy was found on January 12 and, upon this discovery, the police found another missing boy, Shawn Hornbeck, who disappeared on October 6, 2002, at age 11 while riding his bike to a friend's house in Richwoods, Missouri.

FRIDAY, Oct. 12 (HealthDay News) -- Patients with coronary artery disease who receive percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have increased platelet reactivity after the procedure despite antiplatelet therapy, according to a study published online Oct. 5 in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis.
Fabio Mangiacapra, M.D., from OLV Hospital in Aalst, Belgium, and colleagues examined the association between PCI and platelet reactivity in 65 patients with suspected or established stable coronary artery disease taking aspirin and clopidogrel. Fifteen patients underwent coronary angiography, 40 underwent PCI, and 10 underwent rotational atherectomy plus PCI.
The researchers found that platelet reactivity decreased over time in the coronary angiography group, while platelet reactivity significantly increased immediately post-procedure then decreased to baseline at 24 hours in the PCI groups. Peri-procedural variations in platelet reactivity (platelet reactivity post-procedure versus pre-procedure) decreased in the coronary angiography group but significantly increased in both PCI groups. This was associated with total inflation time, total stent length, and E-selectin.
"Despite dual antiplatelet therapy, PCI affected platelet function proportionally to procedural complexity and extent of vascular damage," Mangiacapra and colleagues conclude.

Reminder Nominations for the season are open for licence members, including board positions and special awards.
For nomination forms go to tab "About Us" > "Nominations"
Photos Kindley provided by John Faulkner
NZDRA, Meremere Dragway Inc and Pegasus Bay Drag Racing Club are very pleased to announce to all our mutual members that a Heads of Agreement has been signedsubject to the NZDRA making certain changes by 30 April 2015, that a reunification of our sport is on schedule for 1 May 2015.
This is as a result of a lot of hard work by members of the NZDRA and Meremere Dragway Inc/Pegasus Bay Drag Racing Club boards over the past two years to come to an agreement that is greatly beneficial to the sport of drag racing whilst being mutually beneficial to all involved.
It will start with a joint points series at the Spring Nationals at Meremere on the 29th & 30th November 2014 and another at Ruapuna Raceway hosted by Pegasus Bay Drag Racing Club on the 25th January 2015.
The 2015/16 season will see us competing as one entity allowing for a great National points series to be held at many tracks around New Zealand. The NZ Nationals will once again be held at Meremere in 2016 with the final points round being held at Masterton Motorplex.
Licencing for the 2015/16 season will be business as usual for the current NZDRA licence holders with the IHRA licence holders completing a transfer of licence form (if their licence has not expired) free of charge until their expiry date of their IHRA licence. Those IHRA licence holders that have expiring licences as at 30 June 2015 will apply using the current NZDRA on line form.
If an IHRA licence holder wishes to compete at a NZDRA sanctioned event this season they can simply complete a transfer of licence form free of charge and if applicable have their vehicle tech inspected by NZDRA.
We, Meremere Dragway Inc, Pegasus Bay Drag Racing Club and NZDRA are sure you will all join us with a positive attitude and your full support for a united future.
Kind regards
The Board The Board The Committee
Meremere Dragway Inc NZDRA Pegasus Bay Drag Racing Club
The uptake of licencing online is exceeding our expectations. Although there have been a few minor issues we are pleased that, overall this has been a positive step.
National Series
The National Series Calendar which has been released incorporates rounds to be held at Meremere and Ruapuna. A number of Racers have enquired about how the points will be allocated and after completing a group survey among our members, it has been decided to allocate points as per the rule book.
Clash of Dates: Taupo / Masterton
Firstly, the Board wish to be clear that having two events on the same date is not ideal. That said, NZDRA does NOT select or set event dates. We endeavour to build a National Points Series within the dates supplied by the Promoters.
The 3rd January 2015 date was booked in advance at Taupo in October 2013 albeit there was no confirmed Promoter. MMP was informed of the booking and declared openly that they would run on that date regardless. Both the MMP and Taupo Promoters have been informed and the NZDRA National Points round at Taupo has been shifted to the December 28th meeting to enable Racers to choose their meeting fairly.
Going forward, ALL Track Promoters must meet and ratify the following seasons dates at a Track Committee Meeting no later than 30th May of the preceding season. This committee meeting is only facilitated NOT ruled on by NZDRA.
NZDRA Administration
The Board wish to thank you all for your help and assistance in understanding that the Association now operates with a part time Administrator (Monique Duckett) backed up by the Directors each carrying greater responsibility. If there is something we have missed or misunderstood, please be considerate and contact us in the appropriate manner to enable the correct outcome for all.
The current rulebook is available for you on our website under the Technical tab. We encourage all members to check it out and in particular, any new rules that may apply to your class.

New operator plans to reopen Robie's store in Hooksett soon
Tom Walsh is overseeing a small crew of workers who are fixing up the store, which he said is merely upkeep and not part of a grand design to change the store.
Robie's, which is on the state and national historic registers, has been a regular stop of politicians both on the local and national campaign trail. Walsh, who is also a state legislator representing Hooksett and a member of the planning board, said that Robie's presented a perfect opportunity for him both as a businessman and someone who loves Hooksett.
Riley agreed, adding that the opening of a Bass Pro Shop in town will make Robie's a much more visible business in the future.
"This is going to become a much more active corridor with the Bass Pro," Walsh said.
"This way people can just come in, grab their lunch and be on their way, so if they want to be in and out they can. But we will still have traditional diner food that you can order as well," Walsh said.
"Not just to make sure everything is running great, but also because I love this place, I love everything about it," Walsh said.

A Bit on the Chile Side
Trip Start
Nov 07, 2008
Trip End
Mar 03, 2009
The change was dramatic and instantaneous crossing over between the countries - the roads, the signs, even the look of the people changed straight away which was quite strange. Unfortunately the language changed as well and just as my Spanish was becoming respectable, I find that the Chileans have torn classic spanish apart and ruined it for everyone. Suddenly new words are being used, the ends are being chopped off, they don't even pronounce s's and they speak at light speed. Apart from that it's a great place (oh and apart from the prices too - painfully high at around 3 pounds for a set meal, ouch). Having travelled over the mountains and being at the slightly more breathable altitude of 2500m I was in the Atacama desert proper, staying in a small and very touristy town of San Pedro. Despite being full of westerners it was still a lovely place; very relaxed and very hot too so it was nice for a few days. I rented a bike and cycled out of town on the highway that runs through the desert to a place called Valle de la Luna (Valley of the moon). It�s a sizeable reserve full of weird rock formations and canyons and small salt flats which is so-called as it resembles the surface of the moon (and those Chilean astronauts know their stuff). Really impressive place and I went on top of a big sand dune to watch the sunset in the desert which was good. Only trouble being that I then had to cycle back 15km in the dark on the main road which was a bit dangerous.
I gave myself a day off to relax in town and then the next day took a bus to nearby Calama to go and visit the mine at Chuquicamata. It is the world's largest open-cast mine and also the largest hole in the world (with honourable mentions going to Liverpool) and was very impressive to see. They also have some of the biggest dumper trucks around with the wheels alone being at least 10ft tall. We were told that one wheel costs $30,000 and the whole truck costs about $4m. An absolute snip for all of the copper you can carry on that monster though. I rushed back to San Pedro afterwards and then hopped on a bus to go further south in Chile to the beach.

(PRWEB) September 20, 2012
Mobile marketing entrepreneur Adam Horwitz was invited to the White House and honored as one of the Top-100 young entrepreneurs in America. CNN honored him as one of "8 young entrepreneurs to watch". Good for him, but how does that translate into the affiliate's opportunity to reap absurd profits in the near future? Keep reading, or watch this VIDEO.
Horwitz knows what he is doing. At 20 years old and without a college degree, this kid discovered a niche with opportunity and harnessed his huge brain to create a very timely software. Mobile Monopoly 2.0 brings an x-factor power to mobile marketing, now more voluminous and popular than online marketing (actually, about 5 times bigger than internet now!).
What's more, it is possible for the absolute, green-fingered newbie to catch the current with mobile marketing by using the crystal clear presentation of Adam's software. Lest one struggle with the product in any way, Adam has amassed a veritable library of help and how-to videos related to the software. The module itself has a crisp and easy delivery that makes it hard to go wrong, but help is there as necessary.
