The new Caterpillar® C6.6 Diesel Engine with ACERT™ Technology meets worldwide emissions requirements for EPA Tier 3, EU Stage IIIA and Japan Moc Step 3 engine exhaust emission regulations, while providing excellent performance.Learn More
Cat® C6.6 Engine with ACERT™ Technology
The Cat® C6.6 is a 6.6 liters (403 in3) displacement, six cylinder, inline configured engine equipped with a Caterpillar Common Rail fuel System. It uses ACERT Technology, a series of Caterpillar engineered innovations that provide advanced electronic control, precision fuel delivery and refined air management, resulting in outstanding performance and lower emissions. The Cat C6.6 with ACERT Technology meets the U.S. EPA Tier 3, European Union Stage IIIA and Japan MOC Step 3 emissions standards.
The C6.6 features a compact design with heavy-duty engine features for outstanding durability, reliability and performance. The C6.6 incorporates a new cross flow cylinder head design, a 4 valve head and an ADEM A4 electronic controller.
Electronic Controls
The C6.6 engines use advanced electronic controllers, which have a proven track record for performance and reliability. ADEM A4 Electronic Control Module (ECM) receives data from engine-mounted sensors and adjusts critical parameters to maintain optimum performance. These adjustments also optimize fuel economy and emissions compliance. Electronics also make engines easier to troubleshoot and repair.
Fuel Delivery
Fuel is introduced in the combustion chamber in a number of precisely controlled microbursts. Injecting fuel in this way allows for precise shaping of the combustion process. The ADEM™ A4 module directs the injectors to deliver precise quantities of fuel at exactly the right times during combustion for optimum efficiency and performance.
Air Management
The C6.6 uses a turbocharger fitted with a smart waste gate to give precise control of the boost pressure. Over the entire engine operating ranges the result is improved: Throttle response, Lower fuel Consumption and optimized engine performance. A new cross-flow design in the cylinder head facilitates air movement, while tighter tolerances between the piston and cylinder liner are reducing blow by gases.
Turbocharged and Aftercooled
A well-matched turbocharger and air-to-air aftercooler results in higher power while keeping rpm steady and exhaust temperatures low.
Torque Rise
The direct injection electronic fuel system provides a controlled fuel delivery increase as the engine lugs back from rated speed. This results in increased horsepower below rated power. A combination of increased torque rise and maximum horsepower improves response, provides greater drawbar pull and faster dozing cycles.
Cooling System
The cooling system is a single coolant unit including hydraulic oil cooler, radiator, ATAAC and fan installation. Aluminum cores and hydraulically driven demand fan provide optimum cooling and fuel efficiency.
Electric Fuel Priming Pump
A standard electric fuel priming pump is located in the primary fuel filter base above the combined water separator / primary fuel filter. A switch enables to easily prime the fuel system after a fuel filter service.
The D6K features an electronically controlled hydrostatic drive system with independent power and control of each track for fast acceleration, variable speed control, and on-the-go direction changes.Learn More
Hydrostatic Drive
The electronically controlled hydrostatic drive system automatically maintains engine speed to match the power requirements of the application for peak performance. The hydrostatic drive train also offers independent power and control of each track, for fast acceleration, infinitely variable speed control and on-the-go, direction changes for each track. The operator can command smooth "power turns" or even counter-rotation of the tracks for precise steering control in tight areas. The Caterpillar hydrostatic drive system manages itself, freeing the operator to concentrate on using the Caterpillar track-type tractor's superb agility, speed, and maneuverability to do more productive work.
Infinitely Variable Speed Control
Hydrostatic drive provides infinite speed selection from 0 to 10 km/h (0 to 6.2 mph) in forward and reverse. This lets the operator select the optimum speed for ground and job conditions. It also eliminates power interruption during shifting.
Ground Speed Balancing
Hydrostatic drive provides a completely "step-less" transmission of power and automatically matches travel speed and implement loads for increased efficiency and easier operation.
High Power Utilization
The hydrostatic drive system on the D6K is designed to use full available engine power throughout the machine working cycle. If the implement hydraulic system is not in use, this engine power can be delivered to the drive train, providing high drawbar pull and fast travel speeds. If the implement hydraulics are being worked hard, the machine control ECM will automatically slow the tracks as necessary to use the full remaining engine power, without overloading and stalling the engine. As soon as the implement hydraulic load is decreased, the machine control ECM will automatically speed up the tracks until the machine is traveling at the speed the operator has commanded with the Hystat Control (left).
Unsurpassed Maneuverability
Power turn and counter-rotation capability improve machine maneuverability and productivity. On the D6K, power turns are accomplished by slowing the speed of one track versus the other, while maintaining power to both tracks. The Cat Hystat power turn feature also enables the D6K to handle large loads around corners or through hard spots encountered when dozing. Power turn capability improves machine mobility in soft underfoot conditions and is very effective for controlling machine operation on side slopes. Counter-rotation also provides easy, quick maneuvering in tight areas or congested job sites.

AccuGrade System for Track-Type Tractors
Caterpillar is helping customers revolutionize the way they move material with new technology solutions for earthmoving machines — solutions that provide greater accuracy, higher productivity, lower operating costs and more profitability. The AccuGrade System is designed and integrated into the machine and hydraulic systems to create an automated blade control system that allows operators to grade with increased accuracy. The system uses machine-mounted sensors to calculate precise blade slope and elevation information. The integrated electrohydraulic valve control module uses the information received from the sensors to automatically adjust the blade to maintain grade. Automated blade control allows operators to improve efficiency and productivity by achieving grade faster and in fewer passes than ever before, reducing the need for traditional survey stakes or grade checkers.
AccuGrade Ready Option
The factory ready option machine makes system installation and setup quick and easy, and optimizes performance and reliability.
AccuGrade Laser
AccuGrade Laser designed for precise grade control using a laser transmitter and receiver. A laser transmitter is set up on the work site and creates a constant grade reference over the work area. A digital laser receiver is mounted on the machine and captures the laser signal as the machine moves across the work site. The system captures information and calculates the blade adjustments necessary to achieve grade. The system makes automatic elevation adjustments typically performed by the operator and provides automatic blade control. The operator simply steers the machine. The system also calculates cut/fill requirements for manual blade control.
AccuGrade GPS
AccuGrade GPS computes the positioning information on the machine, compares the position of the blade relative to the design plan and delivers that information to the operator via an in-cab display. Information, such as blade elevation, necessary cut/fill to achieve grade, visual indication of the blade's position on the design surface and a graphical view of the design plan with machine location. AccuGrade GPS puts all the information the operator needs to complete the job in the cab, resulting in a greater level of control. Vertical and horizontal guidance tools visually guide the operator to the desired grade. Automated features allow the hydraulic system to automatically control blade adjustments to move the blade to grade. The operator simply uses the light bars to guide the machine for consistent, accurate grades and slopes, resulting in higher productivity with less fatigue.

Pick your cuppa
MyCuppa Mugs by Suck UK (among other things) are a fantastic idea.
Everyone has their preference. I like my coffee bold and bare. Some like sugar. Lots like cream – but how much cream is enough cream? A dash, a splash or a generous dose that adds a little coffee to your half and half and (barely) keeps you in joe's club. It is anyone's guess. Unless you have one of these mugs for your guests! The hues of brown pantones around the inner rim make for the perfect cup every time.
So pick up your Calf & Half and start pouring!
Fabulous for your PG tips too.
The mug is available at Gizmodo.
The monkey is available here at the Monkey Shop.
Make tea time a treat. When I am tempted to help myself to a handful of M&Ms (which becomes two, three, four til no more handfuls left), I indulge in a cuppa chocolate tea instead. One of my favorites is Stash Chocolate Mint Oolong Tea. One handful of M&Ms and a couple cups of this tea and my chocolate fix is satisfied.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon | R |
It's beautiful that these women still have each other-especially since it's getting harder to see how anyone else can stand them. Granted, Miranda's (Nixon) boss issues and Charlotte's (Davis) mommy meltdown are relatable, but Carrie's (Parker) self-manufactured drama and Samantha's (Cattrall) willingness to drop her panties whenever, wherever, aren't charming anymore. Trouble blooms in Abu Dhabi, where the ladies enjoy eye-gouging opulence thanks to Samantha's client, then repay him by being ugly, entitled Americans. This tone-deaf travelogue (all two hours, 23 minutes of it) disappoints, though hardcore SATC fans may want to risk it for Liza Minnelli's brilliant cameo.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton | PG-13 |
Prince of Persia isn't just based on a video game, it is one, maneuvering from level to level with such mechanical efficiency there should be a point tally onscreen. Gyllenhaal stars as Dastan, the king's personality-deficient adopted son, forced to flee with conquered Princess Tamina (Arterton) and use his fancy rooftop-hopping parkour skills to protect her time-bending dagger. The point is for Tamina and Dastan to fall in love on the run, but Gyllenhaal's newly buff bod and Arterton's undeniable beauty can't manufacture chemistry. Instead, look to be enthralled by the desert vistas and Alfred Molina as a thoroughly modern "gaming promoter," because when it comes to the fate of the dagger-or Dastan and Tamina-it's all just sand through the hourglass.

Are We Preprogrammed Or Programmable?
In an effort to determine what forces most often influence our perception, many ideas and theories have been offered. Of these, two schools of thought have come to the forefront. Many believe that the primary component determining our perception is instinctive in nature, and passed down by our heredity. Others subscribe to the theory that these traits can be nurtured, and therefore molded by their respective environment. And thus there exists the "Nature versus nurture controversy that has perplexed psychologists since the birth of modern psychology. As one psychologist, E. Turkheimer eloquently stated, Virtually all Psychologists accept that both innate factors and experience are needed to provide a complete account of our perceptual abilities, (Baron 3). So most psychologists are of agreement that both contribute to the overall framework of perception, but which factor weighs more the equation. The arguments for both sides are compelling, and it is no wonder psychologists continually struggle between the two hypotheses.
The psychologists that accept nature as the more accurate of the two believe that "interaction with peers rather than with parents play the key role in shaping a child's personality, (LeDoux, screen 1). For instance, in an excerpt titled "Research on Child Development: What We Can Learn from Medical Research, from Judith Rich Harris's book entitled The Nurture Assumption: Why children Turn Out the Way They Do, Harris states that adoption studies more accurately support the nature theory.
Adoption studies usually focus on identical twins separated at birth. "Because the twins have identical genes, differences between them with respect to various aspects of behavior can reasonably be attributed to environmental factors, (Baron, 69). This established

text: The Oprah Interview Oprah: Amy, take us back to January of 2005. That seems to have been a turning point in your life- what happened? Amy: Um, can I take a sip of water? Okay (deep sigh) where do I begin? Oprah: Let's start with your pregnancy… Amy: Well, we found out that we were expecting our second child right before Christmas. I can't tell you how happy we were because we had been trying for a baby for over a year. One hour after I told my husband that we were finally pregnant, I began to spot. I had never had this with my first pregnancy and many of my friends, at the time, had went through miscarriages so I was nervous and upset thinking that this might happen to me as well. We ran a series of blood work and the day before NYE we were told that things looked good and to go out and celebrate the New Year. Despite receiving this news, I still did not feel comfortable sharing about the pregnancy. My husband and I went out for dinner to celebrate and then headed to a movie. I stopped at the bathroom and saw more spotting. I just knew that something was wrong. The next day (on New Year's Day) I went to the lab for more blood work. This blood work came back abnormal. My progesterone was low. Oprah: What did this indicate to the doctor? Amy: That the pregnancy was not a healthy one, but again, the doctor said that things could go either way. Oprah: So then what happened? Amy: I was pretty much a wreck at this point. I just couldn't stop crying uncontrollably. I couldn't believe that after a year of trying that this would happen to our family and I didn't think anything could get any worse for me. Oprah: But it did. Amy: Yes, my life continued to take a turn for the worse. Because I was so upset, I did not feel like I could take care of myself or my son. I called my sister and she offered for me to come over there to relax and be taken care of. I think she was trying to get my mind off things. When I arrived she told me that she had a few errands she needed to run and invited me to come along. We drove over to the local grocery store and picked up a few groceries and headed out to the car. I had my son in one of those carts with the car part in the front and I had to bend down to pick him up to get him out of it. All of a sudden, I started to feel enormous pressure on my back. I know it could have only been for a minute or so, but my instinct kicked in to push back against whatever was pushing me. I heard my sister screaming that someone was hitting me with their car. I was basically pinned between the two cars with my body blocking the cart that was holding my son in it. Oprah: What did the lady do? Amy: Well, she didn't know any English so she continued keeping the car in reverse until she figured it out. Once she figured it out she pulled the car up to free me and then got out of the car and started loading our groceries into the car. Oprah: Why was she doing that? Amy: She was reassuring me that I was okay and helping me load the groceries and then was trying to leave. Luckily my sister kept the lady there until the police arrived. Oprah: I am sure she was arrested. Amy: No, actually she left without even a ticket (gasp from the audience). She had no license, no insurance, provided a false address, and had no phone number and the cops had to let her go because of some Indiana law having to do with private property. I was then taken over to the emergency room, but they could do nothing for me because of the pregnancy. We had explained that it sounded like I was going to miscarry anyway, but they didn't want to risk it. The doctor said he had seen too many pregnancies succeed even when doctors said they were doomed to fail. Oprah: But yours did not succeed did it? Amy: No, I miscarried the next evening. The whole time I thought that I was miscarrying. I thought a miscarriage was spotting and something like a period because that was how it was explained to me. It was much more than that though- it was one of the longest nights of my life. At the end of the week I went in for x-rays and they confirmed that I would need treatment, but wanted to wait until I was completely through the miscarriage before beginning treatment. Upon the miscarriage ending, my treatment prescribed was four to six weeks of physical therapy twice a week for a back injury that I had sustained. Oprah: Wow, that is some story. I am sure that things started to look up for you? Amy: Well, I was a crying and sobbing mess. Everything made me cry. That whole week, I just cried like a baby every single day. People say the stupidest things when you miscarry. Things like that you will get pregnant again, that your baby was probably retarded, that it was better this way, that this was God's plan. After I got over the hurt, then I started getting really mean. Like, I hated everyone mean. I would see a pregnant person and I would immediately hate her only because she was pregnant. Or someone who was pregnant would complain about her back hurting and I would want to scream inside of my head. I would go into the ob/gyn office for follow-ups and have to sit beside four complainin g pregnant women- it was pure torture. That is when I came up with the idea for the new ob/gyn office and why I am a millionaire today. Oprah: And what was that idea? Amy: Well, that we need to set up an ob/gyn office like you would set up a pediatrician's office. A sick entrance and a well-kid entrance. Instead of that though, you would have an infertile/miscarriage entrance and then an entrance for happy/pregnant people. I also thought it would be wonderful to have different exam rooms set up too. For the happy/pregnant people, they could have pictures of beautiful babies and serene colors in their rooms. Pictures of mothers with child and all the beautiful fluff that we fill our nursery with. Then for the infertile/miscarriage people, they could have a room that had no pictures of babies and just happy single amazing women who are living their life to the fullest minus kids. There are pictures of women on vacations, hitting the clubs/bars, and just generally living the good life. Oprah: What a brilliant idea! Now THAT is what I like to call an, "Ah,ha moment!" So did your life start looking up after that? Amy: Well, the week after my idea… Oprah: Your BRILLIANT idea… Amy: (modestly) My brilliant idea…my son came down with the croup and an upper respiratory virus and had to spend two nights in the hospital- it was horrible. Our insurance…well, it's not the best plan we have ever had…let's just say that despite my ah-ha moment, I had racked up thousands of dollars in good old-fashioned medical bills. It was a low point in our finances, and I just felt beaten down. Maybe this wasn't God's plan or maybe it was and He was teaching me to lean on Him. I know my story wasn't as bad as Job's in the Bible, but COME ON! I get hit as a pedestrian by a car, I have a miscarriage, I sustain a nasty back injury, my poor little boy is hospitalized for illness, and we get to pay the hospital a gazillion dollars for treatment- this is definitely at a low point. The only good that came of all of this is that I have focused less on myself because I wanted to care for my Ethan so it got me out of the mean stage…well, for awhile anyway. Oprah: That is an incredible story. What do you think the future holds for you? Amy: Well, I am going to concentrate more on my website and then I have been thinking of starting this blog, but I have had some hesitations with that. It's…well…it's almost like someone is reading your journal. It creeps me out, but it also is quite therapuetic. I thought I would give it a shot.Oprah: Well, thank you for sharing your story with us. I think we all can learn a lesson from you and good luck with your site and that blog. I understand that blogs are the latest thing. Amy: And thank YOU, Oprah. I feel like doing my Hallelujah dance just meeting you. Oprah: And next we will be talking to a mother who is addicted to crack, plastic surgery, and public nudity. Her story is amazing and you won't want to miss what her kids have to say about their mom…. Published February 16, 2005 by: Amy Allen Clark is the founder of MomAdvice.com.

I've Gone To A Cathoilc School For 10 Years... Pre K, K, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, And I'm Now In 8!
i created a new topic as to not get the exciting witch trial thread off topic
ok before i start, i dont want any sort of reigious debate. im sick of them. every forum ive ever been apart of always turns into the whole forums flaming me for my beliefs and becuause i dont know every answer. this is just for general questions you may have. i will request i0n to lock this thread if there is constant flaming.Originally Posted by NateTheGreat
anyways to Nate's question. all sin is the same to God (except for blasphemy which is the top dog of all sins) and all sins are forgiven when you accept Jesus as your saviour (again, except for blashpemy). in the old testiment (before Jesus' sacrafice) if you killed, you too should be killed. but because of Jesus' sacrafice for EVERY human being, if you kill someone, you can still be forgiven if you want it. God isnt the one who sends you to Hell, YOU are the one than sends yourself to Hell. it is Gods will for every man to go to Heaven but because he gave us free choice, that cannot happen. A LOT of people read things from the old testiment and think that is what christians fallow which in reality, christians fallow the NEW testiment. so the whole "God will kill you if you kill" thing isnt true (anymore) because of Jesus. now before someone starts about "how can you say you worship 1 god when you worship God and Jesus?" let me answer it. God has 3 forms that form the Trinity. the forms are Father (God), Son (Jesus), and the Holy Sprit(uhh. the sprit lol). they are all God. dont ask me how or why because i dont know how or why. people have such a wrong view of christians. if anyone has a question just ask

everyone belongs to some form of religion. the definition of religion is:so even people who who say they dont have a religion, actually do in a way have a religion. ive went to a christian school for 6 years and all we did in Bible class was search the net and find questions and statements people had about christianity and then reseached the answers to themReligion is a system of social coherence based on a common group of beliefs or attitudes concerning an object, person, unseen being, or system of thought considered to be supernatural, sacred, divine or highest truth, and the moral codes, practices, values, institutions, and rituals associated with such belief or system of thought. It is sometimes used interchangeably with "faith" or "belief system"[1], but is more socially defined than that of personal convictions.

I hate Photobucket
Ok heres a question for you, How come religious groups believe that if they dont like somthing they have to try and stop people from enjoying it, for example The Da Vinchi Code the christian groups go "Hey this fictional story goes against our religion so no can see this" I don't get it what makes people believe that just because they dont like it or find it offensive doesnt mean everyone does another thing (although im not a fan) Madonna had concert in Moscow I think and she has a crusafice like prop which she performs on so the christians groupd rallied and begun a almost task force against against Madonna i just don't understand why well what do you guys think ?
p.s this is no way anti-religious
See I made it my own! RELIGION *whoosh* wow a 50 page thread bout how there beliefs are right and you are all wrong wow. Oh do want to be different rep! even if I don't help it seems to happen a lot here
Why? What are these "fantasies" about catholic schoolgirls?Originally Posted by Ronan

I'd call myself a non-religious person, but technically I still "believe" in something- I "believe" that your beliefs aren't really all that important as long as you're a good person. But of course, it's just a belief and I could be completely wrong.
I never add friend codes.

I agree mitch.
Also Sam Harris, i think forcing something upon you is wrong also.
Do you know whats worse though?, Orange Walks where protestants celebrate marching down streets the slaughter of thousands of Catholics and the worst thing is it is allowed by the government. That says a lot about the Uk, also did you know that only protestants are allowed into the royal family.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) - A Stillwater man who was born in Iraq and moved to the United States when he was 6 years old has been detained by federal agents.
Saief Alobaidi, who has lived in America for 18 years, was taken into custody by the U.S. Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services on an immigration violation, FBI Agent Scott Billings told the Stillwater News Press.
Several thousand FBI agents across the country have been diverted from their usual duties to interview the about 50,000 Iraqi-born residents of America. Attorney General John Ashcroft gave the FBI authority to arrest people on immigration violations.
Knowing that such arrests are happening across the country is of little comfort to Alobaidi's family.
Alobaidi was picked up by agents while he was at work Wednesday evening. He is being held in Oklahoma City, his family said.

ALso there are different kinds of kale. Dino kale is one kind. Curly kale is the kind that comes chopped and washed in bags at TJ's (or maybe Siberian, not sure). Purple kale straddles the border between edible and ornamental. They all have different flavors.
I throw kale or chard into any dish that I'm making that involves chopped up veggies. The other veggies hide the taste of the kale. That said I looooveeeee kale chips so I don't mind the flavor of kale that much. Agree with whoever said discard the stems - put them in your compost pile.


text: The objective in level 169 is to score 45,000 points and, more importantly, collect all of the orders in 35 moves. The orders you need are one striped / striped mix, one striped / wrapped mix, and one striped / colour bomb mix. To make things more difficult you have two rows of chocolate makers running down each side of the screen. They do not come into play immediately, however, as they are blocked by double-hit white swirls. These won't last long, however. The best advice in this level is to concentrate on making the wrapped candy and colour bomb. The striped candies are easy and will take care of themselves, but the others can be tricky. See in the video the colour bomb does not get made until there are just 11 moves to go and the mix is not made until the very end.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Let's clear up one thing about new Mets reliever J.J. Putz. His name is not pronounced like the Yiddish word, nor is it pronounced "poots." It is pronounced like "puts away the dishes."
And if you have trouble recognizing him at Citi Field this season, just look for the guy shoving a shaving cream pie in a teammate's face.
Putz, acquired in a trade from the Seattle Mariners last season, spoke to The Star-Ledger about making the transition from closer to setup man and his reputation as a practical joker.
What do you think will be different about playing in New York?
"Probably just the passion of the fans. Coming from Seattle, the Seattle fans don't really know the game. The New York fans are going to let you know how good or bad you really are."
What's the biggest difference between being a closer and being a setup guy?
"It's an inning earlier. It's essentially the same thing. Maybe one of the biggest differences is there's more opportunities to come in with men on base, where when you're a closer, more times than not, you get a clean inning to start the ninth."
Do you still think of yourself as a closer?
"Yes, definitely. I still think of myself as a closer. My job this year is to close the game out to get the ball to K-Rod."
You spent time with K-Rod during the World Baseball Classic. What did you learn about him?
"He's the complete opposite of how he looks on the mound. He's just laid back, quiet. I had never really talked to him, and even when we were here for the brief time in camp, we were constantly moving around and doing drills, so we never really got to talk. I got the chance to talk to him a bit."
What are you like away from baseball?
"Pretty laid back, like to have a good time, go with the flow. I play a lot of video games. I hate golf. (I like) movies and video games."
You lived in the same building as Tom Brady at the University of Michigan. What was he like back then?
"Yeah, I knew him pretty well in college. He was always at the football field. He was always looking at film and stuff like that. I never saw him out much."
I've heard you're a good practical joker. What's the best gag you've ever pulled on someone?
"Hmmm. There's not really like a best one. They're all pretty childish. I like putting baby powder in your pockets. I like putting shaving cream in shoes. Sometimes you put eye black under people's car handles, so when they go to open their door, they get [stuff] all over their hand. I like putting gum on hats. Just childish things."
Do most guys take that with a laugh or do some get mad?
"...That's the worst thing they could probably do, because then it's only going to get worse."
How often do people mispronounce your last name?
"Probably every day."
Has that ever bothered you?
"Not really. It's kind of old news."
Have fans ever given you a hard time about it?
"I mean with fans, half the time you can't understand what the hell they're saying anyway. But like I said, it doesn't really bother me."

Defense Logistics Agency Recognizes AM General
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – AM General, creator and manufacturer of Humvees for U.S. military forces, has received the Defense Logistics Agency's Outstanding Readiness Support Award in the large business category for outstanding support to on-going U.S. military operations. The annual award recognizes "extraordinary customer support, service and product provided directly in response to a crisis situation," according to DLA.
AM General Vice President of Government Operations Gary Tull accepted the award in a ceremony at DLA headquarters at Fort Belvoir, Va., south of Washington. The award recognized AM General's complicated efforts to provide spare parts for the many model and mission variations of the High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) operating in Iraq, Afghanistan and other deployed locations.
A related DLA news release explained, "This performance has been especially important because of the instrumental role the HMMWV is playing in the Global War on Terrorism and other U.S. military missions overseas. The partnership between DLA and AM General has reduced administrative and production lead times, lowered costs, and enabled the partners to develop and test processes and to track performance – all with the goal of providing world-class readiness support to the war-fighter."
In addition to spare parts support, AM General has ensured that continuous design improvements approved by the military to increase the performance, payload and crew protection are rapidly integrated into Humvees used by U.S. operating forces overseas. These upgrades include mission-flexible armor protection, improved engine cooling, reinforced suspension to handle increased loads and many others. AM General field service employees working in combat theaters ensure that soldiers, Marines, sailors and airmen have the parts, equipment, guidance and support needed to make such modifications.
"Our entire company is focused on providing this hands-on global support to our military forces," noted Tull. "From our engineering R&D center in Michigan and our manufacturing plants and parts warehouses to our field representatives overseas, every one of our 2800 employees knows the importance and takes personal pride in supporting our troops 24 x 7."
DLA's annual Business Alliance Awards recognize those who have demonstrated outstanding efforts to partner with DLA and improve the agency's mission of providing supplies and services to America's military forces. DLA Vice Director Maj. Gen. Arthur B. Morrill III, U.S. Air Force, presented the awards to AM General for the large business category and 22 other companies in other categories.
The Defense Logistics Agency's primary role involves managing more than five million consumable items, such as rations, medical supplies and equipment, clothing and textiles, and repair parts for land, sea and air weapons systems and platforms.

This summer saw football fans across Scotland rise up and force not only their clubs, but also the governing bodies into an action that they did not want to take - send the Rangers newco into the Third Division.
The SPL and the SFA wanted to keep a tight grip of their unsigned £80 million TV deal, why it was left unsigned is a mystery, but when Neil Doncaster was in control of things one could start to look in that direction.
With Rangers now plying their trade in the fourth tier of Scottish football, Celtic in my opinion will have a free run to the title this coming season.

Oron's site and download links: offline
At this time, Oron.com is offline all around the world. This isn't an ISP block nor was Oron.com taken offline by some government (particularly the US Government) - the site Oron.com went down 5 days ago on August 1st, 2012. Because there are a lot of people trying to figure out what happened to Oron, in particular Oron.com download links that people depend on to get the files they want, I wanted to create a supplemental piece to the updated news story to better-reach more people to let them what's going on with Oron.
Oron goes offline and the internet freaks out
Oron has been plagued with problems over the years, but especially as of late. They went down back in February for a bit while the Megaupload debacle was still fresh, stories of people trying to take Oron offline were rising and Oron has been hit not only with one massive lawsuit but a second lawsuit two days ago.
Risks for using Oron.com continue to build for users
Oron.com (still) is a popular cyberlocker, or filehosting and filesharing service despite their yo-yo like tactics that screw with their members on occasion. Being popular, and due to the way they chose to run their business, they've constantly been above the radar with people seeking to have Oron taken offline or at least crippled to the point of uselessness. Well, it seems now that somebody has finally nailed Oron on the alleged copyright infringement taking place through their service. While this is to be expected, it's Oron's response to this lawsuit that could and probably should scare current and future users away from the service for good.
Oron Down, Multiupload Down – Tell Us
Yesterday I wrote about an increase in traffic for 'Oron premium accounts' and Oron-related searches which led me to discover I couldn't access Oron.com from my home internet connection. After that post, in which I also mentioned not being able to access Multiupload, I've seen some people looking for information about Multiupload being down. If this is why you came here, I could use your help... Which, it could actually help a lot of people.
Mixed Up Month for File Downloaders
As somebody who is a regular file downloader, I like to stay apprised of what's happening in the industry. Plus, I run this site that is dedicated to file download services, so that's just extra incentive to stay on top of things. In all honesty though, it's blatantly apparent that I have no clue what's going on, probably much like everybody else. You think you have a grasp on what certain filehosters are doing, but then it is turned upside down the next minute.

How does a student move from high school to a prestigious school like West Point?
It's a long and tedious process, but a worthwhile one.
My application process started during my junior year at West Ranch High School, with an invitation to participate in the United States Military Academy Summer Leadership Seminar, which invites 800 individuals each year.
Potential candidates should apply for a slot in the SLS between January and February of their junior year, but my recommendation is to start finding information even earlier than that. Upon completing the SLS, each candidate is assigned a liaison. If the application process goes well, you are then issued a "letter of assurance," which assures you a spot at the USMA upon completion of all prerequisites including obtaining a letter of nomination.
I was ecstatic when I was sent a letter of assurance. I swiftly withdrew my applications from both the Naval and Air Force academies, so as not to tie up spots for other candidates when I found out my candidacy was assured and my congressional letter of nomination was received. The official letter of acceptance was sent to me in January.
Established in 1802, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, ranks as one of the oldest and most prestigious educational institutions, not just in the United States of America, but throughout the world. It is an institutions dedicated to producing leaders, not just scholars.
As such, the application process is long and arduous and an effective barrier that prevents the less motivated or devoted from applying. The application process to the USMA demanded at least three times the work required from my application to other universities.
In addition to standard resumes, high school transcripts, SAT/ACT scores and letters of recommendation, the USMA also required a physical strength and endurance test (the Candidate Fitness Assessment), a medical health examination (administered by the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board), a dental examination and a letter of nomination from one of the following officials: the vice president of the U.S., one of two state senators or the district member in the House of Representatives.
Each official is permitted to write only 10 letters of nomination to service academies, and the race to acquire these letters is extremely competitive. The letter of nomination application itself requires almost as much work as a West Point application, including an interview process with multiple service academy representatives.
At the moment, I am very eager to begin my years at West Point, and while I realize that my experiences there will be far from easy, I also anticipate a college experience that is unparalleled. I expect to participate in and learn things most people will not be privileged enough to experience. I expect to forge friendships that will last a lifetime, cemented through the trust we must place in each other as comrades in arms.
Above all, I expect to graduate and emerge a far wiser, learned and accomplished individual, with a more comprehensive perspective of my purpose in life as well as the role of the U.S. in maintaining peace throughout our world. I make no mistake in understanding I will be assigned to at least five additional years of service upon graduation from West Point, and I may very well be placed in harm's way.
In retrospect, taking into account all of the requirements and obstacles I had to overcome, being accepted into West Point was nothing short of an act of God, and something that I was only able to accomplish through His will and with the help of so many others. I can only hope to discover my true purpose and through the skills and wisdom I gain at the USMA, I will be able to serve God and country with honor and integrity.
Matthew Cha is a senior at West Ranch High School.

Let's see, you had maybe 40gm protein for breakfast? And forced down dinner, so it looks like enough food for that day. Are you saying you used to be constantly hungry and now aren't hungry enough? It sounds like what you ate yesterday, unless the dinner was small and/or low-fat, was enough, but I'm not sure. Certainly meat & fat is more calorie-dense than fluff, so it may look like too little. Did you run your calories through fitday or something like it? I don't, but it might give you a picture if you don't it a few times.
I've been nursing for 13 years and it seems like that's enough ... but it's no fun to force yourself. You could split your breakfast between bkfst and lunch, but honestly, I'd do it the way you are - you could work a leptin reset in there without even trying!

Ok here is my diet idea, I need to lose some weight and I'd like to go on a diet with food I enjoy and not starve, here is my idea. I always wake up very late, like around lunch time. I can have either a chicken soup or oatmeal. For my dinner I'd have chili, since I can cook it in mass quantities and freeze it. Chili is high in protein, low in calories and at about 2g-7g of fat per serving depending on how much you make it. I train very often, hit the punching bag half an hour to an hour everyday, lift 10lb dumb bells while watching tv and doing sit ups, and an hour of step climbing on my machine. I was wondering, would my food menu for a diet be successful? Opinions please, thank you

I am an unabashed Michael Jordan fan but I do not dislike LeBron James at all. But I started thinking about this yesterday as I looked at the line for Game 5 about what a fantasy point spread line between a Jordan team and James team would be. I do not play fantasy sports and find them quite annoying but I wanted to ask NBA fans here to put on their linesmakers caps for fun.
In this matchup I want to use Jordan's 72 regular season win 95-96 Chicago team and James' 2011 58 regular season win Miami team.
These two teams posed interesting parallels to me for a few reasons. Michael was coming back from his retirement and shedding the rust at 32 years old. He, Pippen, and Rodman were in the early 30s but that was their first season together with Jordan averaging over 30, winning MVP, and the 96 title.
In 2011 LeBron James was adjusting to playing with two other stars and averaged 26.7 per game. He, Wade, and Bosh were in their mid to late 20s but very well seasoned in the NBA.
My sports betting fantasy question: If these two teams were to meet up on a neutral site for one game and millions on the line for the winning team, what would you set the line at?
My line: I admit to being biased but I put Michael's squad at -2.5 and getting the cover

With the backdrop of a sunset and an altar bedecked with white flowers, Kendra Wilkinson's wedding was "absolutely beautiful," according to one of the bridesmaids.
As for the bride, "She looked like a princess," Holly Madison told PEOPLE a few hours after Saturday's nuptials at the Playboy Mansion. "It was a beautiful setting for a wedding."
Before some 300 guests, including ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner, the bride and groom Hank Baskett recited traditional vows. Wilkinson wore a white dress with a "tight bodice and poofy skirt," Madison said.
"It was a princess dress, which was fitting. It was really pretty and she looked gorgeous," said Madison. who on Sunday returned to Las Vegas, where she stars in the PEEPSHOW revue.
Baskett and the groomsman also donned white for the wedding.
Though Wilkinson, who is due in December, is "getting more pregnant every day," there was little sign of baby bump in her bridal gown.
Like the wedding, the reception was very traditional. While Wilkinson and Baskett danced the first dance to George Strait's "I Cross My Heart," the bride saved the second dance for Hefner.
"They're definitely ready for their honeymoon now," Madison said. "They need a vacation."

7 Reasons Your Business Needs a Blog
Should your business website have a blog? Does having a blog help in SEO or getting more sales? What is the relation between SEO and blogging? Well, these are the questions which are often asked by business owners about how a blog can help their business. If you, too, are a business owner searching for answers of similar questions then here are the few SOLID reasons why your corporate website should have a blog.
1. Keep the content fresh
Search engines love fresh content and since websites with blogs are easier to add content compared to standard website, having a blog on your business website provides you an effective way to add fresh content to your website.
2. More indexed pages
Updating your blog one time a day and five times a week means around 20 new pages of content every month and 240 pages in a year. Even after one year of blogging (if we assume that the size of a normal business website is five pages), you would have 245 pages filled with content in search engines' index, which is 49 times more than the normal website.
3. More chances of getting found in search engines
The more pages indexed, the more visible your website will be in search engines. Regularly adding keyword-rich articles to your blog will increase the chances of getting your website ranked for many long-tail search engine queries that were not possible with a normal website. These long-tail keywords can also collectively bring more traffic to your website than your main keywords.
We've seen the effects from our promotional products site. As we add more pages of products and content, we further increase our traffic through keyterms different from our main keywords.
4. More inbound links
We all know that "link building" is the most important and the most difficult part of every online marketing plan. And when it comes to search engine optimization, blogs filled with useful content act as link magnets. Websites with blogs will attract links more readily than static business websites.
5. Increase your reach
Having a blog will help you to reach out to your wider target audience. The best thing about a blog is that the unique and compelling content will provide a valid reason for visitors to come back to your website which was not possible earlier. Normally, people don't visit a business website if they don't have to buy anything; with a blog, however, they now have to return to get the latest, useful information about the industry.
6. Helps you to understand your audience
One of the most powerful aspects of blogging is the effective communication between the blogger and readers. As a blogger you can ask a question about your products from your readers. Readers can now leave their opinions more easily in the comments. So, blogging will help you to understand your audience in a much better way.
7. Helps you to build your credibility
Expressing your opinions about the latest developments and happenings in the industry (i.e., adding fresh content to your website) will help you to improve your credibility in the eyes of your potential customers and search engines.
Blogging is still one of the most effective tools of online marketing. If your business website doesn't have a blog now, then these reasons will definitely make you to rethink your current online marketing strategy.
Do you know of any other benefit you enjoyed from blogging on your corporate website? Share them with us in the comments below.

Acquired melanocytic nevi are a well-known risk factor in the development of melanoma; their increased frequency is associated with increased risk. Many recent studies have focused on the dermoscopic diagnosis of melanoma in addition to investigation of nevogenesis.1,2 However, the clinical appearance of nevus orientation has not been a target of investigation. Although not aiming to identify new phenomena, we attempt herein to quantify and explain the orientation patterns of acquired melanocytic nevi on the back. Blaschko lines are a well-described pattern of skin lines that correlates with epidermal nevi and may relate to acquired melanocytic nevus orientation.3 Quatresooz et al,4 while investigating lines of tension in skin on the back, identified a dermoscopic parallel melanotic line pattern on the normal skin of the back aligned with skin tension lines called Langer lines.4 We propose that a pattern of acquired melanocytic nevus orientation is identifiable and may be associated with both Blaschko and Langer lines.
Our study protocol was approved by the University of Queensland ethics board (project No. 2009001590). To investigate the observed orientation of melanocytic nevi on the back, we assembled a cohort of 20 white participants (10 women) recruited from the Dermatology Outpatients Department at the Princess Alexandra Hospital, Brisbane, Australia. Each participant underwent full-body imaging (FotoFinder machine; FotoFinder Systems GmbH) and subsequent dermoscopic imaging of all nevi greater than 5 mm in diameter on their back. Each nevus was analyzed, and its long-axis length and total area were recorded. The nevi's longest axis was used to assess its angle of orientation with reference to the patient's midline. Measurement of each nevi's eccentricity ("ovalness") was then calculated for correlation of nevus shape with other recorded parameters.
Each back image was cropped based on common surface landmarks to include the base of the neck to the natal cleft and scaled to a standard size of 1500 × 2500 pixels (Figure 1). The coordinates of each nevus were recorded in addition to the angle of orientation from the vertical axis of the spine (range, 0°-360°) measured as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 1. Cropped patient image used for recording nevus orientation between the base of the neck and the natal cleft. Dimensions are 1500 × 2500 pixels.
Figure 2. Measurement of nevus angle. A, Left of midline, the angle is measured from the vertical in an anticlockwise direction. B, Right of midline, the angle is measured from the vertical in a clockwise direction.
The median age of our cohort participants was 47 years. Our analysis included data from 440 individual nevi in total. Nevus orientation was investigated in relation to vertical and horizontal position of the back. Figure 3 demonstrates the recorded orientation corresponding to vertical displacement as a fraction of the distance from neck to natal cleft. Statistical analysis revealed a quadratic relationship between nevus orientation and vertical position, with a coefficient of determination of R2=0.61.
Figure 3. Individual nevus angle is shown to be dependent on vertical position on the back. Individual nevi are represented by the black dots. The curving trend line indicates a predictive model relating nevus angle to vertical position on the back following the quadratic equation y = −213.3 x2 + 162.3 x + 121.4.
No relationship was observed between horizontal position and nevus angle, but all recorded lesions had an angle between 80° and 180°. No relation was found between horizontal position and size or vertical position and size. Additionally, the angle of orientation did not show any association to any measurement of acquired melanocytic nevus size or shape.
Through full-body imaging, we observed a specific and reproducible pattern of acquired melanocytic nevus orientation and have confirmed this observation by identifying a mathematical model relating nevus orientation to vertical location on the back. Given the documented correlations between Blaschko lines, Langer lines, and previously described epidermal lesions and pigmentation patterns, we hypothesized that a relationship may exist between nevi orientation and either Blaschko lines or Langer lines.
Our investigation of the relationship between acquired melanocytic nevus orientation and Blaschko lines was not supported by our data. If this association did exist we would observe a V shape centered along the spine typically seen in conditions allowing visualization of Blaschko lines. This was not present in our analysis.
Conversely, our orientation data did reasonably match Langer line patterns. Compilation of our data into a composite patient allowed visual comparison of our recorded data and Langer lines. The correlation between our data and Langer lines on the back can be seen in an image overlay in Figure 4. We conclude that acquired melanocytic nevi on the back are aligned with Langer lines, and the correlation is independent of size and eccentricity.
Figure 4. Composite patient data plot and line association. A, All recorded lesions drawn at corresponding coordinates, size, and orientation. B, Langer lines of the back, adapted from Langer.5 C, Overlay of lesion data plot and Langer lines.
This quantification of nevus orientation has given strength to the hypothesis that acquired melanocytic nevi align with Langer lines. This may lead to a better understanding of the underlying factors involved in nevus growth.

Just like Major League Baseball, fantasy baseball leagues can be won through the middle of the diamond. Players such as Derek Jeter, Dustin Pedroia and many more have been catalysts for their teams success throughout their careers.
With the start of the baseball season approaching and fantasy baseball drafts still being set up, it's a good time to take a look at the top 10 middle infielders that could make an impact for a team.
