Hi there,
I am in desperate need to show dh that even though our children are small, they still deserve respect. I have read so many books and now I am completely forgetting the best ones to portray this subject. I have requested Screamfree parenting from the library.....pls send recommendations to any other books that may help me. Thanks so much
Have you looked at Love and Logic? I know it isn't super popular here, but I love it. From your post, I'm getting the impression that you tend to practice AP, and your husband does not. Is that accurate? If so, you might find L&L to be a nice compromise. It really is all about treating your children with respect, natural consequences, and being what they term a 'consultant' to help your child make good choices. As an approach, it is a great bridge between AP and a more traditional parent.
You are correct.....I am practicing AP but still trying to get my dh on board. Do you know the author of the book you suggested? A few came up in my library search and wanted to make sure I ordered the right one. Thanks you your great suggestion
They do have a lot of choices! I think Parenting with Love and Logic explains everything in the most detail, but it will only appeal to someone who is willing to sit down and read a book. Painless Parenting for the Preschool Years is also very good. I was able to find tons of Love and Logic books, CDs and DVDs at our local library, which was great, because then I was able to try out several without shelling out for them. One other idea - I know you said you were interested in a book, but we ended up taking a Love and Logic parenting class through our local school. It was terrific, because it helped DH and I get on the same page with parenting techniques in a way that I don't think we would have if we had both been reading a book separately and picking out what we wanted to. I know quite a few of the school districts in our area offer these classes - maybe there would be something in your area, too.
ETA: I don't know what your religious affiliation is, but be forewarned that many of the materials have Biblical quotes peppered liberally throughout. Since the classes were through the local public school, the religious bits were stripped out, which for us was appreciated.

A mong the brilliant investigators in the universities and industrial research laboratories in Germany late in the 19th century, no scientist is worthy of greater accolade than Emil Fischer.1 He was born in Euskirchen near Cologne into a well-to-do family of commerce. Emil joined his father's company after completing the Gymnasium in Bonn, but dislike for the business world was apparent and he turned to the natural sciences. He was first attracted to the study of physics at the University of Bonn, becoming enraptured with the lectures of Kekulé. Fischer's travel year was spent at the newly founded German University at Strassburg; here he was influenced especially by Adolph von Baeyer, chemist and discerning critic of chemical research, who turned him to organic chemistry and his destiny in science. The inaugural dissertation for the PhD at Strassburg concerned fluorescein and orcinphthalein, organic dyes. Within a year Fischer had discovered

Wall Street Closes Higher, Rebounds After Disappointing Boehner 'Fiscal Cliff' Comment
Category: Markets / Finance
/ Nov 29, 2012 5:26PM EDT
U.S. stocks finished higher on Thursday (November 29) as investors bought on sporadic dips in a market roiled by conflicting comments from Washington about negotiations on an agreement to avoid the "fiscal cliff." Tech shares, including Research In Motion and Advanced Micro Devices, helped the Nasdaq outperform the broader market. Telecommunications and health-care stocks were the day's best-performing sectors. Reflecting the uncertainty surrounding U.S. budget talks, trading was choppy. Wall Street reversed early gains and fell shortly after House Speaker John Boehner, the top Republican in Congress, dashed hopes that lawmakers were getting closer to a budget deal that would avert automatic tax increases and spending cuts set for early 2013 - the fiscal cliff - that could push the U.S. economy into a recession next year. But the market rebounded by afternoon and the three major U.S. stock indexes rebounded to near their session highs. Boehner's comment about a lack of progress in talks with the White House was one of a series of contrary pronouncements by lawmakers and the Obama administration over whether Washington will finally cut a deal. There have been some signs that leaders are moving closer to a fiscal agreement. The S&P 500 has gained about 5 percent recently after a sell-off that took it down almost 8 percent following the U.S. election on Nov. 6. But investors remain wary that politicians' ad hoc statements can spark quick reversals in the market. U.S.-listed shares of BlackBerry maker Research In Motion rose 4 percent to $11.54 (USD) after Goldman Sachs upgraded the stock to "buy" from "neutral" on optimism ahead of the launch of the BlackBerry 10 smartphone. Advanced Micro Devices Inc shares gained 4.1 percent to $2.04 on plans to sell and lease back its campus in Austin, Texas. The sale and lease-back will raise cash and fund its chipmaking business as Advanced Micro Devices diversifies beyond the struggling PC industry into new markets. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 36.71 points, or 0.28 percent, to 13,021.82 at the close. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained 6.02 points, or 0.43 percent, to 1,415.95. The Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 20.25 points, or 0.68 percent, to close at 3,012.03. So far this week, the Dow is up 0.1 percent, the S&P 500 is up 0.5 percent and the Nasdaq is up 1.5 percent. Data showed the U.S. economy grew faster than initially thought in the third quarter as businesses restocked, but consumer and business spending were revised lower in a sobering reminder of the economic recovery's underlying weakness.

Strength of weak ties which facebook doesn't
I suffer from something called Ménière's disease—don't worry, you cannot get it from reading my G+ posts. The symptoms of Ménière's include hearing loss, tinnitus (a constant ringing sound), and vertigo. There are many medical theories about its cause: too much salt, caffeine, or alcohol in one's diet, too much stress, and allergies. Thus, I've worked to limit control all these factors.
However, I have another theory. As a venture capitalist, I have to listen to hundreds of entrepreneurs pitch their companies. Most of these pitches are crap: sixty slides about a "patent pending," "first mover advantage," "all we have to do is get 1% of the people in China to buy our product" startup. These pitches are so lousy that I'm losing my hearing, there's a constant ringing in my ear, and every once in while the world starts spinning.
To prevent an epidemic of Ménière's in the venture capital community, I am evangelizing the 10/20/30 Rule of PowerPoint. It's quite simple: a PowerPoint presentation should have ten slides, last no more than twenty minutes, and contain no font smaller than thirty points. While I'm in the venture capital business, this rule is applicable for any presentation to reach agreement: for example, raising capital, making a sale, forming a partnership, etc.
• Ten slides. Ten is the optimal number of slides in a PowerPoint presentation because a normal human being cannot comprehend more than ten concepts in a meeting—and venture capitalists are very normal. (The only difference between you and venture capitalist is that he is getting paid to gamble with someone else's money). If you must use more than ten slides to explain your business, you probably don't have a business. The ten topics that a venture capitalist cares about are:
1. Problem
2. Your solution
3. Business model
4. Underlying magic/technology
5. Marketing and sales
6. Competition
7. Team
8. Projections and milestones
9. Status and timeline
10. Summary and call to action
• Twenty minutes. You should give your ten slides in twenty minutes. Sure, you have an hour time slot, but you're using a Windows laptop, so it will take forty minutes to make it work with the projector. Even if setup goes perfectly, people will arrive late and have to leave early. In a perfect world, you give your pitch in twenty minutes, and you have forty minutes left for discussion.
• Thirty-point font. The majority of the presentations that I see have text in a ten point font. As much text as possible is jammed into the slide, and then the presenter reads it. However, as soon as the audience figures out that you're reading the text, it reads ahead of you because it can read faster than you can speak.
The result is that you and the audience are out of synch. The reason people use a small font is twofold: first, that they don't know their material well enough; second, they think that more text is more convincing. Total bozosity. Force yourself to use no font smaller than thirty points.
I guarantee it will make your presentations better because it requires you to find the most salient points and to know how to explain them well. If "thirty points," is too dogmatic, the I offer you an algorithm: find out the age of the oldest person in your audience and divide it by two. That's your optimal font size.
So please observe the 10/20/30 Rule of PowerPoint. If nothing else, the next time someone in your audience complains of hearing loss, ringing, or vertigo, you'll know what caused the problem.
One last thing: to learn more about the zen of great presentations, check out a book called Presentation Zen by my buddy Garr Reynolds. You can get a free copy when you purchase Enchantment: http://bit.ly/jxzBAA
Many people have explained what one can learn from Steve Jobs. But few, if any, of these people have been inside the tent and experienced first hand what it was like to work with him. I don't want any lessons to be lost or forgotten, so here is my list of the top twelve lessons that I learned from Steve Jobs.
Experts are clueless.
Experts—journalists, analysts, consultants, bankers, and gurus can't "do" so they "advise." They can tell you what is wrong with your product, but they cannot make a great one. They can tell you how to sell something, but they cannot sell it themselves. They can tell you how to create great teams, but they only manage a secretary. For example, the experts told us that the two biggest shortcomings of Macintosh in the mid 1980s was the lack of a daisy-wheel printer driver and Lotus 1-2-3; another advice gem from the experts was to buy Compaq. Hear what experts say, but don't always listen to them.
Customers cannot tell you what they need.
"Apple market research" is an oxymoron. The Apple focus group was the right hemisphere of Steve's brain talking to the left one. If you ask customers what they want, they will tell you, "Better, faster, and cheaper"—that is, better sameness, not revolutionary change. They can only describe their desires in terms of what they are already using—around the time of the introduction of Macintosh, all people said they wanted was better, faster, and cheaper MS-DOS machines. The richest vein for tech startups is creating the product that you want to use—that's what Steve and Woz did.
Jump to the next curve.
Big wins happen when you go beyond better sameness. The best daisy-wheel printer companies were introducing new fonts in more sizes. Apple introduced the next curve: laser printing. Think of ice harvesters, ice factories, and refrigerator companies. Ice 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0. Are you still harvesting ice during the winter from a frozen pond?
The biggest challenges beget best work.
I lived in fear that Steve would tell me that I, or my work, was crap. In public. This fear was a big challenge. Competing with IBM and then Microsoft was a big challenge. Changing the world was a big challenge. I, and Apple employees before me and after me, did their best work because we had to do our best work to meet the big challenges.
Design counts.
Steve drove people nuts with his design demands—some shades of black weren't black enough. Mere mortals think that black is black, and that a trash can is a trash can. Steve was such a perfectionist—a perfectionist Beyond: Thunderdome—and lo and behold he was right: some people care about design and many people at least sense it. Maybe not everyone, but the important ones.
You can't go wrong with big graphics and big fonts.
Take a look at Steve's slides. The font is sixty points. There's usually one big screenshot or graphic. Look at other tech speaker's slides—even the ones who have seen Steve in action. The font is eight points, and there are no graphics. So many people say that Steve was the world's greatest product introduction guy..don't you wonder why more people don't copy his style?
Changing your mind is a sign of intelligence.
When Apple first shipped the iPhone there was no such thing as apps. Apps, Steve decreed, were a bad thing because you never know what they could be doing to your phone. Safari web apps were the way to go until six months later when Steve decided, or someone convinced Steve, that apps were the way to go—but of course. Duh! Apple came a long way in a short time from Safari web apps to "there's an app for that."
"Value" is different from "price."
Woe unto you if you decide everything based on price. Even more woe unto you if you compete solely on price. Price is not all that matters—what is important, at least to some people, is value. And value takes into account training, support, and the intrinsic joy of using the best tool that's made. It's pretty safe to say that no one buys Apple products because of their low price.
A players hire A+ players.
Actually, Steve believed that A players hire A players—that is people who are as good as they are. I refined this slightly—my theory is that A players hire people even better than themselves. It's clear, though, that B players hire C players so they can feel superior to them, and C players hire D players. If you start hiring B players, expect what Steve called "the bozo explosion" to happen in your organization.
Real CEOs demo.
Steve Jobs could demo a pod, pad, phone, and Mac two to three times a year with millions of people watching, why is it that many CEOs call upon their vice-president of engineering to do a product demo? Maybe it's to show that there's a team effort in play. Maybe. It's more likely that the CEO doesn't understand what his/her company is making well enough to explain it. How pathetic is that?
Real CEOs ship.
For all his perfectionism, Steve could ship. Maybe the product wasn't perfect every time, but it was almost always great enough to go. The lesson is that Steve wasn't tinkering for the sake of tinkering—he had a goal: shipping and achieving worldwide domination of existing markets or creation of new markets. Apple is an engineering-centric company, not a research-centric one. Which would you rather be: Apple or Xerox PARC?
Marketing boils down to providing unique value.
Think of a 2 x 2 matrix. The vertical axis measures how your product differs from the competition. The horizontal axis measures the value of your product. Bottom right: valuable but not unique—you'll have to compete on price. Top left: unique but not valuable—you'll own a market that doesn't exist. Bottom left: not unique and not value—you're a bozo. Top right: unique and valuable—this is where you make margin, money, and history. For example, the iPod was unique and valuable because it was the only way to legally, inexpensively, and easily download music from the six biggest record labels.
Bonus: Some things need to be believed to be seen. When you are jumping curves, defying/ignoring the experts, facing off against big challenges, obsessing about design, and focusing on unique value, you will need to convince people to believe in what you are doing in order to see your efforts come to fruition. People needed to believe in Macintosh to see it become real. Ditto for iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Not everyone will believe—that's okay. But the starting point of changing the world is changing a few minds. This is the greatest lesson of all that I learned from Steve.
Woz was real good @ doing. Jobs just managed

Ebdrup Church - Djursland - Eastjutland
Ebdrup Church - Djursland - Eastjutland
One of Djursland´s beautiful , small village churches, open from sunrise till sunset.
The church is orig. built as a chancel and nave in Romanesque style. The building materials are raw and split boulders set up in lime mortar. Characteristic of the church is the rough-hewn ashlar marking the building's corners.
You will find a lot of village churches worth visiting on Djursland, the beautiful nose tip of Denmark

Newcastle United haven't beaten Manchester United at Old Trafford for 40 years. This is the closest they will come, and they gave their all in one of the best matches of the season.
But it was with a sense of disbelief that we viewed the team selection. As soon as the names Michael Carrick, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs scrolled across the screen, we knew there would be trouble.
It soon emerged that Wayne Rooney, Ashley Young and Daniel Welbeck were injured, which meant that ironically, the fans having demanded that chances be given to younger players, Scott Wootton and Ryan Tunnicliffe were added to the roster.
We've said it before and we'll say it again. United are going to murder a team some time soon, and league position won't protect them.
But first, they've got to sort out the defence, which, in United's case, is down to the entire team. Too often today, players like Paul Scholes and Patrice Evra jogged or stood as sharper Newcastle players passed them.
Still, if you're a neutral, why would you watch anyone else?
United league matches have produced 76 goals this season at an average of four per match. In the ones they have won, United alone have averaged three goals a match.
The trouble is that only seven teams have conceded more, and United simply cannot continue to allow midfield to be overrun.

It's either going to be passing a statute that says "No more Stock buybacks" by these conglomerates, or "no dividend increases", until your hiring is increased substantially. Most of these companies are over staffed as it is, but the Dems think they need more deadweight walking the floors. Cut employees now, everybody. Walmart, Target, and the malls are over run with bodies. Computer hardware makers don't need half the staff they have. T probably has 25% too many folks running around too.
Sentiment: Buy
Actually, I believe it's "mate".
And to think, you work at Mickey D's and no one will listen to you about how to manage Walmart, Target and T. Silly people.
And the fast food chains have to go away, or at least the guy who says, "Do you want fries with that?". Can you believe that they actually considered a Mc Donald's position a "job" in the labor reports?

That is the PLAY here!
See you at $245.
AMAZON is a monster.
Will continue to be a monster.
Think of all the SAPS who thought they missed the boat in 1986 in Walmart!
There was a LONG way to go after that!!!!
Amazon a pure monster 2, 3, 5 yearts out and beyond!
Would not doubt $275 on Amazon by Thanksgiving.
Amazon is the winner.
SO you need to get out of your overbought position in AMZN, we go it.
For all you bitter longs...
Look at ALL my Netflix posts dating back to nearly a year ago PRAISING Netflix...IF and ONLY if they issued a secondary above $180 per share to raise over $1 Billion and bolster the balance sheet.
They didn't. They will now most likely fail.
Amazon is in a position to completely dominate the physical as well as virtual goods world.
Jeff Bezos is RIGHT UP THERE with Steve Jobs in my opinion.
Right there!
They both share the critical VISION needed to endure long term.
Amazon is more expensive than NFLX ever was, even at $300, and AMZN has earnings falling off a cliff, not even NFLX has that.
The downside in AMZN is actually larger than in NFLX.

Bernheim Nancy Attorney - Massapequa, NY - Phone: (516) 541-6200
Feinstein- Bruce Attorney - Massapequa, NY - Phone: (516) 541-2500
The lawyers in Massapequa who deal with family law, adoption, divorce or dissolution are particularly concerned with issues by which a valid marriage is ended and the judge distributes the marital property owned by the parties, orders spousal support if appropriate, makes child custody orders, and orders child support by one or both the parents. Also such lawyers deal with adoptions in cases where a parent wishes to bring up an orphan. Many registered lawyers with specialization in the section of Adoption, Divorce & Family law are found in Massapequa. But keeping in mind the sensitivity of the issue, one must be careful while hiring one such lawyer who would deal with the matter in the best possible way.

Claude Giroux's return to the lineup was a success Tuesday night, but the Flyers lost his high-scoring linemate, winger Jake Voracek, to a second-period injury as they dropped a 2-1 exhibition game to the New Jersey Devils at the Wells Fargo Center.
Afterward, general manager Paul Holmgren said the injury was "nothing serious" and that Voracek would be reevaluated Wednesday. He expects the winger to play Friday in Washington.
Voracek, who led the Flyers with 22 goals last season, was pulled down from behind by Bryce Salvador with 12 minutes, 55 seconds left in the second period and he crashed into the left post and goalie Cory Schneider. Wincing in pain and rubbing his lower back, Voracek then had his soft backhander saved by Schneider on the ensuing penalty shot. The injury appeared to prevent Voracek from getting any power on the shot.

After a season that began to generate a fair amount of optimism, with Eli Manning playing some of his best football in his career, the Giants fell flat on their faces against the Philadelphia Eagles and failed to generate any offense against the Vince Young-led Eagles. They then faced off against New Orleans looking for redemption, but were instead pummeled, 49-24, in the Superdome.
Once regarded as clear favorites to win the NFC East due to the inconsistent Cowboys and the struggling Eagles, optimism for this New York Giants team is quickly falling.
Here are five things we have learned about the New York Giants after they were beat down in New Orleans.

Telegraph Travel does not accept any responsibility for violence, rioting or deportation that may result from attempts to mimic the following gestures. Chin Flick Meaning: Get lost Used in: Belgium, France, Northern Italy, Tunisia In France, this gesture is known as la barbe, or "the beard", the idea being that the gesturer is flashing his masculinity in much the same way that a buck will brandish his horns or a cock his comb. Simply brush the hand under the chin in a forward flicking motion. While not as aggressive as flashing one's actual genitalia, this gesture is legal and remains effective as a mildly insulting brush-off.

Don't make coroner records secret
There are only two sure things in life -- death and taxes, the clich� says, but add another certainty to that list. Elected officials who claim they support transparency in government will always look for ways to challenge your right to know about how government operates.
The most recent case is legislation introduced in the Pennsylvania Senate to limit public access to coroner records. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has already ruled that coroner records must be open to the public under the state's Right to Know Law. But now the Senate Local Government Committee has approved Senate Bill 961, sponsored by Sen. Robert "Tommy" Tomlinson, R-Bucks County.
Under the proposed legislation, coroners would only have to release information from their rulings once a year, 30 days after the end of the year in which the deaths occurred. In addition, the information available to the public would be scant: the name of the deceased person and the date, cause and manner of death.
This legislation is similar to a bill that Gov. Ed Rendell vetoed in November 2010. Gov. Tom Corbett, who campaigned as a government reformer, should do the same if the legislation passes the full Senate and the state House.
"These are families going through traumatic times. To continue to add to their embarrassment or the trauma they are going through by releasing these death records to me does not make sense," Sen. John Eichelberger, R-Blair County, told the Harrisburg Patriot-News.
All deaths cause trauma for surviving loved ones. But coroner reports are issued only in the case of suspicious or unattended deaths. When you read about a coroner's report in the Erie Times-News, you are most likely reading about a case in which the trauma has been done to an innocent person who is a victim of a crime. Should you not know that a woman who died in a high-rise apartment in Erie had been stabbed to death -- by a killer who is still at large?
Should the public not know how long the body of little Alayja Coleman was crammed into a suitcase before her skeletal remains were found?
Should citizens not have learned about the cause of death for a 2-year-old girl, Jessica Treiber, who died in a house fire in March 2001? Her father, Stephen Treiber, was later convicted of murder.
Shouldn't impressionable teenagers know that the blood-alcohol content of "Jackass" star Ryan Dunn was twice the legal limit when he killed himself and a passenger in a car crash near Philadelphia on June 20?
Coroners in Pennsylvania do not have to be doctors; often they are funeral directors. You, the members of the public, pay their salaries. The public has a strong, legitimate interest in making sure that when death does arrive, under suspicious circumstances, they are certain about how it occurred.

Harley-Davidson Road King®
Road King®
Timeless cruiser styling combined with all the features you need for the long haul. The Road King® motorcycle truly is the king of the road.
Available Models
Control Features
Project RUSHMORE - Control: Here are some of the innovations Project RUSHMORE led to: the Reflex™ Linked Brakes with ABS, the Daymaker™ LED headlamps and fog lamps, brighter Tour-Pak® lighting, brighter turn signals, brighter brake lights, and a steering head with stiffer front forks. Locked-up tires are now history even when there's wet pavement. We've made it feel even better to lean your way through a turn. Now you can see better. And we've made you more conspicuous to the cage-driving public. Because one thing we all agree on is this: bikes that work better make riders who ride better. Take a ride. See how good you can be.
Air-Adjustable Suspension: With air-adjustable suspension that comes standard, you can dial in your ride to accommodate heavier or lighter payloads, battle unexpected road conditions or simply set it to how you like to roll. The lighter the load, the softer you can go by decreasing the air pressure a bit, or increase the air pressure for a more firm ride. A convenient air valve is located between the saddlebag and rear fender for quick adjusting. It's all about rider and passenger comfort and setting your bike to fit your taste—the easy way.
Brembo® Brakes: Confidence. Control. High-performance dual disc Brembo brakes offer consistent stopping power at all speeds. The 4-piston front and rear caliper with dual front rotor brake system is state of the art and top of the line. It's just another way The Motor Company puts a high level of detail into their bikes to give you peace of mind throughout your journey
Ergonomically Designed Hand Controls: It's hard to enjoy the ride or keep your eyes focused on what's coming down the road when you're fussing and bothering with the switches on your handlebar. So when we built the Project RUSHMORE motorcycles, we worked over the hand controls on our touring bikes with as much passion as we worked over our engine. We made the shape more ergonomic and located and angled them to fall right under your thumbs. We added left-hand cruise for easy activation, toggle switches to control infotainment functions, and an easily locatable trigger switch to control and scan through functional readouts. And we improved the feel to give you a confidence-inspiring click at every push of a button. Even the dash panel switch got better. And it's all pre-wired for parts and accessories, which even lets you customize with less fuss and bother.
Steering Head and Front Forks: Whether it's a big sweeping curve or a set of tight turns, a Project RUSHMORE motorcycle feels rock-solid in the corners. We stiffened up the front end, increased the fork diameter to 49 mm (an increase of 18%) and re-tuned the damping for a smoother ride. The responsiveness is dialed in.
Dunlop® Multi-Tread™ Tires: The 180 mm back tire is engineered to do more than fill out the rear fender and put a bigger patch of rubber on the road. Dunlop Multi-Tread technology uses harder compounds at the center and softer on the sides for a tire that still knows how to knuckle down on corners. Perfect for making this bike agile on every curvy stretch of road. And the way it feels going through an abrupt off-camber turn will put a grin on your face that'll last to the next state line.
Dual Halogen Headlight and Fog Lamps: When the sun goes low, the amount of road you have your eyes trained on stays high. Sitting inside that classic Hiawatha nacelle, you have a dual halogen headlamp and halogen fog lamps to match. Boasting a higher quality of light than previous models courtesy of a darkness-defying 986 lumens, they ensure you'll have no trouble seeing everything out there that needs to be seen.
Six-Speed Cruise Drive® Transmission: You want a ride that rumbles—not begs for mercy—when you lean on it a little. The Six-Speed Cruise Drive transmission provides smooth, quiet shifting and reduces engine speed on the highway, so you get a better match between engine turnover and road speed. And the Isolated Drive System makes acceleration flow in a smooth, steady stream from your wrist right down to the pavement. It's a rare ride when a bike responds like this, and a low growl goes a long way when you're opening up the road ahead.
Twin Cam 103™ Engine Heritage: The knowledge of what makes an engine truly move a rider runs deep at The Motor Company, and it was put to good use when we created the Twin Cam 103 engine. We sweated bullets perfecting every cubic inch, pushing design and technology forward. And we did it all without compromising one bit of Harley-Davidson's unique styling. Evolved, yet carrying on the legacy of the Flathead, Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead, Evolution® and Twin Cam 88® and Twin Cam 96™ engines that came before. The performance and durability are a direct result of the untold miles logged on the V-twin since 1909 and the proud heritage that comes from a century's worth of commitment to life on two wheels.
Twin Cam 103 Engine Innovation: Fire up the Twin Cam 103 engine and feel the low-end torque unleashed. Thanks to the lightweight piston design, delivery of the added power is more refined than ever. Then put your foot on the shifter and feel how the engine and Six-Speed Cruise Drive transmission were designed to work together. Six speeds. A strong driveline and strong internal parts. Low routine maintenance. And a low cruising RPM couldn't feel better.
Twin Cam 103 Engine Power: Live your ride to the power of Twin Cam 103. The air-cooled Twin Cam 103 Harley-Davidson® engine delivers more stump-pulling torque, while its Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection jetting gives crisp, lively throttle reaction. It's a performance punch that you'll appreciate when passing, climbing hills, or rolling with luggage packed or a passenger in back—all under that signature Motor Company rumble. And it comes at lower cruising RPM, so you ride more smoothly, with less engine vibration and better highway fuel economy.
Project RUSHMORE - Engine: As every rider knows, the engine is at the heart of the experience of riding a motorcycle. The amount of torque and horsepower it delivers over the RPM range is in direct proportion to the feeling it gives you when you roll on the throttle. We know what riders want from a motorcycle engine because we've been building them for 110 years. Project RUSHMORE gave us the opportunity to dial it in just right. We conducted thousands of road tests with real riders giving us feedback to build the next iteration of the legendary Harley-Davidson engine. The consensus was: We want more. More low-end torque, more passing power, more perfection in the tone of the exhaust note, more of the feeling we ride a motorcycle for. And last year, we unveiled the engines that deliver it. This is the next level of Harley-Davidson V-twin engine. And it proves, once and for all, the customer is always right.
High Output Twin Cam 103 Engine: Asking riders if they'd like more passing power is like asking them "Would you like more beer in the pitcher?" when they've reached their final destination at the end of a long, dusty ride. Everybody wants it, and the High Output Twin Cam 103 engine is 103 cubic inches of Harley-Davidson V-twin you can rely on to deliver it. The airbox delivers increased intake airflow and the cam optimizes phase and duration. The result: better low-end torque and faster 60 to 80 mph 5th gear roll-on to get you around that 18-wheeler. In the tradition of the Flathead, Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead, Evolution Twin Cam 88 and Twin Cam 96 engines that came before it, the High Output Twin Cam 103 engine is raising the bar for the feeling an engine delivers to the rider. There's a reason we're called the Harley-Davidson Motor Company. Once you send some fuel to this engine, you'll have no doubt whose it is.
Feel Features
Project RUSHMORE - Comfort: The comfort of our machines has been dialed in the hard way: Over 110 years and thousands of miles in all kinds of conditions on every kind of street, road and highway ever laid down in pavement. Long hours in the saddle are the only way there is to learn what you need to know about things like airflow, heat management, seat materials and textures and the amount of effort it takes to pull a clutch lever. We don't stop until we build the most comfortable machines you can throw a leg over. We all want to go farther, and when you and your rider are more comfortable in the saddle, you can.
Full-Length Footboards and Toe/Heel Gear Shifts: Your boots were made for riding—any way you see fit. Our full-length footboards boast a time-tested, tried-and-true design and rubber isolation for a comfortable ride, while the height-adjustable passenger boards add another level of customizable comfort for your riding partner. And for shifting gears, you can use either the traditional toe-shift or the even easier, more convenient heel-shift. It might take a few rides, but once you've gotten used to the smooth shifting rhythm, you'll never give it up.
Two-Up Road King® Seat: A classic feature revamped for contemporary looks and performance—without sacrificing an ounce of nostalgic style. Sculpted with a deep bucket and narrow neck, this ultimate Touring saddle relieves pressure on your thighs while providing more back support and comfort for a wide variety of rider sizes. And the lower seat height—26.5 inches to be exact—puts your feet closer to the road to enhance your confidence. Additionally, the leather trim and premium stitching accentuate the advanced ergonomics while giving the seat that sharp detail you only find on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. It's science in service of comfort, and your way to beat fatigue over the long haul.
Wide Set Handlebar: Style and maximum comfort. That's the perfect balance of the wide set handlebars that come standard on the Road King model. They're designed to keep you comfortably propped in a commanding position while making sure your neck muscles stay calm and relaxed mile after mile, state after state. Durable stainless steel ensures the structural rigidity you expect from a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with the deep, lustrous finish you desire.
Standard Cruise Control: Installing cruise control is standard operating procedure on the touring models because riding long stretches of unbroken highway is standard operating procedure among touring riders. Electronic throttle control means no cable cluttering up your handlebar. And the switches are placed where you can easily dial in your speed with your left thumb, give the wrist a break, and keep hauling on down the road.
Detachable Windshield: Go from touring to cruising in a heartbeat. Detach the screen for a clean, cool cruising style, or re-attach it in seconds for a clean envelope of air over the long haul. The windshield is as tough as they come—durable, scratch resistant, low maintenance. And whether you choose to have it on off, your Road King motorcycle rules with a nostalgic style and versatility you can make your own.
Project RUSHMORE - Convenience: If you want the ride to be truly epic, you have to sweat bullets to make the little things work exactly right. This is what Project RUSHMORE was all about. Now you have saddlebags that can be easily opened with one hand. Compartments that open with one touch. And we've increased the storage space on these machines without ruining the sleek, road-eating look of the bike. It all adds up to hundreds of little moments where things just click conveniently into place. Because there can be no imperfections in the quest for the perfect ride.
One-Touch Design Philosophy: Here's the rule we laid down for every compartment cover and saddlebag lid on our touring line: if it doesn't open with the single touch of a button or one hand, while wearing gloves, it doesn't go on the motorcycle. Because in all our conversations with riders, we've never encountered a single individual who wanted to have to put something on the ground before he could store it in a saddlebag.
Saddlebag Design: Don't let the sleek look of these saddlebags deceive you. The look is tight on the outside, but things are roomy on the inside. You want stuffability and these deliver bigger than ever. The hinges are simple and clean and the lids open with one touch of one hand. The lock is tight and integrated into the latch where you can put the key in without the danger of scratching your premium paint. Welcome to the next level of the bagger
Style Features
Project RUSHMORE - Styling: Project RUSHMORE is the journey we set out on to take our touring motorcycles to places never imagined before – to turn all the possibilities for what a motorcycle can be now into true Milwaukee steel. We did it our way, as we've always done. As riders. Riding with other riders. Thousands of hours, countless road tests, millions of miles. Looking for the technology and innovations that truly make the ride better. We went over the bike fender tip to fender tip. Making it work better. Making it look sleeker. Modern. Clean. Tight. Let your eye take the journey over the machine. This is classic Harley-Davidson style and a sleek, modern look at the exact same time. At Harley-Davidson, form has always followed function. And both have always reported to emotion. Now we're just doing it on a completely different level.
Low Mounted License Plate: We keep the back end clean and classy with a low mounted license plate that features little visible hardware. As an extra touch, we throw some LED lighting around the tag for crisp visibility and style—just enough to give your tail end a glow when you're riding through the night. This completes the classic, uncluttered look of the Road King model.
Classic Fuel Tank: Part of the unmistakable style of the Harley-Davidson Road King motorcycle is plenty of room for showing off your paint. This classically styled, bold 6-gallon fuel tank doesn't just give you a bigger canvas for premium or custom paint; it holds 6 gallons of go so you can eat up a lot more road between pit stops. A dual-color paint scheme and unique Harley-Davidson waterslide graphics give this bike a truly one-of-a-kind look.
Classic Hiawatha Headlamp: Big and commanding, this headlamp hearkens back to the Big Twins of the '60s. You get nothing less than the latest in materials and technology. Clear-lens reflector optics provide a longer distance high beam and wider low beam. It's a bright, striking daytime lamp that blasts a little further into the night. There's just no beating the classic lines of that sweeping headlight nacelle.
Tank and Fender Badges: This isn't just a motorcycle. It's a work of art, born out of passion, creativity and long days, late nights and refusing to be satisfied until every detail was perfect. When we added the signature, we did it with metal. Nothing else would be right on this masterpiece.
17-Inch Impeller® Front Wheel: Sitting out front on the Road King model, you'll notice a 17-inch cast aluminum, 10-spoke Impeller wheel. In the back you've got a 16-inch Impeller to match. The brake rotors are designed to show off more of the premium custom look of the wheels. Because if you're going to go this far, you might as well take it all the way.
Tank Mounted Gauges: Modern graphics and wider numbers give the Road King motorcycle's gauges an easy-reading modern look. There's also an RPM read out and a gear indicator in the odometer display area. One quick glance tells you everything you need to know.
Pure Harley-Davidson Styling: Feast your eyes on the Twin Cam 103 engine and there's no mistaking its roots. This is authentic Harley-Davidson style through and through with an attention to detail you won't find from any other motorcycle company. Black powder-coated heads and cylinders are highlighted by machined cooling fin tips and chrome rocker covers. It's a jewel machined out of metal. Pure. Dripping with power. From the classic edge of the cooling fins to the clean lines of cases and covers—the Twin Cam 103 engine makes an ironclad statement about holding on to what's right and staying true to what satisfies.

Woman Hailed by President as Obamacare Success Story Now Can't Afford Obamacare (staying uninsured) weekly standard ^ | Nov 19, 2013 | DANIEL HALPER
FREEPER SPOK POSTED: The ethics of the Rosenbergs----- and the intellect of Ma and Pa Kettle. Whats not to like?
ROTFLOL----that just begs for a photoshop.
This is my fave---M/M as Juan and Evita.
Oprah Winfrey SAID YOU DONT LIKE THEM COS THEY ARE BLACK.
She said there can be no other explaination.
In answer to the rhetorical question, "Nothing is." We have, in effect, the Mayor of Toronto for a President.
No, Boehner only calls for another round of drinks.
Pub leadership strategy is to wait until "next time" to challenge Obama, or wait until voters like the wait strategy so much that they vote more waiters into the House & Senate.
While they wait, might as well have another round of drinks, AND another round of raises, perks, privileges, exemptions, & all expense paid trips.
It's impossible to account for the state of Congress in any other way.
What we have are barely educated, immature, grasping, unprincipled and irresponsible people in office! Our elected officials are the mirror image of their respective constituencies!
It can be argued that this thread and other discussions later in the year are the beginning of the process of insuring that pissed off voters rid us of as much of the Rat plague as possible.
In my mind, it has already begun. It needs to fester
As long as the "Goose-Stepping" RATs control the Senate they can impeach all they want but their will be no trial much less a conviction.
Back in the "bad old days", any person with any black blood in him, no matter how small, was automatically considered to be wholly black. And the black people assured us that attitude was racist.
Now black people consider half-white Obama to be wholly black, but that is no longer racist, and therefore he must be accepted as black by all people, white or black.
Thus, Obomba has no white half.
Don't say 'never'; not any more. If Obamacare blows up as badly as I predict, even liberal Democrats will turn on him ... and CONVICT AND REMOVE.
In the meeting they had last week, it's leaked out that the concerned Democrat Senators got nothing from Obama, except the same worn-out talking points.
They cannot be happy.
Obama will be impeached. One more thing has to be put into place and we will see the dismantling of liberalism. We have to win the Senate in 2014 with enough conservatives to hold off the GOPe.
If Republicans try to do it now, the race card will be played throughout 2014 and we will not win the senate. Now is a time for strategic thinking and planning and holding Dems accountable for Obamacare
Dissembling is not, fraud certainly is.
>> Don't say 'never'; not any more.
I will never ever again engage in even a hint of hyperbole.
>> If Obamacare blows up as badly as I predict, even liberal Democrats will turn on him
Your lips to GOD's ear.
It's the suggestion I've made to you one eleventy-trillion-billion times.
Had 0bama told the truth about 0bamacare, HE'D PROBABLY NOT BEEN RE-ELECTED, so this 0bamacare 'bait and switch' rises to a more serious level.
When you add up all the WILLFUL LIES and distortions leading up to the 2012 election, to include the LIE that Benghazi was a 'protest over a video' and the LIE reinforced by the Census Bureau that the unemployment rate dropped to 7.9% from 8.1% right before the election, a clear case can be made for Impeachment.
Having a pathological liar in the White House is downright dangerous for America and destructive to our foreign policy, too. The totality of 0bama's lies qualifies him for Impeachment!
LOL. The removal in the Senate is all but an impossibility, but if it were, then what? Biden becomes President and selects, guess who, for Vice President...Hillary. Frankly this is a more untenable situation then the impeachment process.
Alternately, Obama is ripe to be a permanent laughingstock with which we can hang around the necks of all Democrats as a millstone. We are up against political expediency, let us use expediency to our advantage.
So many election-related lies and crimes were committed, it's astonishing 0bama remains in office.
That's a bit TMI!
How does it go—it's not the color of his skin, but the content of his heart that I find very displeasing.
Sorry for another post, but IN LIGHT OF ALL THE LIES AND OTHER CRIMES COMMITTED BY THIS REGIME TO FACILITATE 0BAMA'S RE-ELECTION, HOW CAN WE POSSIBLY EXPECT THAT THE 2012 ELECTION ITSELF WAS LEGITIMATE? IT SURELY WAS NOT!!!
Even if it is impeachable, it won't make a difference. Clinton was impeached and he stayed in office. It also didn't seem to hurt him any. The piece of crap discusts me...
Allen West voted with, and fully supports, Odinga.
Allen West voted for redistribution of wealth to blacks.
No thanks.
Allen West voted for redistribution of wealth to blacks.
Impeachment proceedings should proceed even though we probably won't get a conviction (yet), just to force Obama testify about ObamaCare and Bengazi.
Is a lie, not under oath, in a court of law, or before Congress, from the President himself, not one of his mouthpieces...
Does that really meet the standard for "High Crimes and Misdemeanors?"...
I'm not excusing this by any means, but Levin knows this...And most of us do as well...
I would love to toss this bastard (and his minions) to the street, but he is well insulated and protected...He is not going to leave until January 20th, 2017 at 12:00pm
The first step is in play now, with H. Res. 411, that needs to get on the fast tack yesterday...That will take the wind out of the sails of Holder, even though it will never go to a trial in the Senate, it may very well become a standing impeachment charge against him...Maybe after the election this time next year...We might be able to get it done...
But I am not holding my breath...And, you might vbery well expect a Presidential pardon to become a reality as well, ready to be foisted after the process is complete...
Then Levin may very well pop a vein in the forehead, along with a few of us as well...
No, wait... that does not quite work the way I had hoped.
>>> Thats a bit TMI! How does it goits not the color of his skin, but the content of his heart that I find very displeasing.
TMI = too much info?
btw... it's character.
Point being he is a fraud in every way... including his title as the first "black" president.
The only group he has NOT defrauded is the muslim brotherhood.
"Thank me"...
Treason, like the plan to provide Glonass targeting centers in the US so Russian nuclear missiles will be more accurate?
The defeated insurrection leaders complained about US citizens from the north helping the south to rebuild because they were from the north.
They also complained about 'scalawags' US citizens from the south helping the south to rebuild because they were from the south.
Really the insurrection leaders should have complained about themselves for leading their states into an illegal and failed insurrection, wherein much damage was done to to the already poor infrastructure in the south.
General Hood set Atlanta on fire. General Sherman and his men put it out. Sherman destroyed government buildings as he left Atlanta, but most of the damage had been done by Hood's fire. You won't learn that from the southrons though.
Lee's men set Richmond on fire and slashed the fire hoses. Grant's men put the fire out.You won't learn that from the southrons though.
Different states had different standards for 'black'.
Jefferson asserted that three crosses with white were sufficient to dilute any taint of African heritage. His family had much experience with that approach.
First Cross: Mullatto
Second Cross: Quadroon
Third Cross: Octaroon
Other times and places, no matter how white, the status of the mother determined the status of the child.
Other times and places, "One Drop" rule was used to deny freedmen status.
Add it the fact that the slave power kidnapped whites from the north and then asserted they were slaves under the 'one drop' rule. Noone can prove they are white under the 'one drop' rule.
He had the help of several traitorous GOPe, who would not let the case be presented. Remember Trent Lott, that former democrat that rode Reagan's revolution all the way to senate majority leader?
You can rationalize it however youwant, but the point remains.
Absent the Senate it is a pointless effort
Impeachable offense or not, I am among those who think that impeachment proceedings are a waste of time. There is no way we would get enough senators to vote to convict in a trial, even if the House voted to impeach.
We wouldn't even get all the Republicans to vote for it.
Nixon Left Office and the Senate never took it up. It is not pointless to investigate and reveal facts.
If you were paying attention, you would know the investigations are in process now
There is enough room on the mall to mount them all on pikes
I pay attention and I know until Boehner authorizes committee chairs real power to compel testimony, nothing will happen.
Has Lois Lerner been called to account yet? Didn't think so.
After Articles of Impeachment are issued by the House, the Senate becomes a Jury even taking a different Oath, and the Chief Justice becomes the Senate President.
I watched as Trent Lott made a travesty of the process. A Chief Justice who apparently had no clue of his roll, frequently yielded his rightful power to the parliamentarian.
Senators solemnly took the new Oath and promptly set about breaking that Oath at every opportunity.
Nothing is "impeachable" if one is popular with the national media and the American people, the ones Rush calls "low-information voters".
Did you say have a sheriff arrest Obama?
The Secret Service would feel obligated to stop that before it even happens, and they would.
I still recall in 2011 more than a few freepers claiming that single judge would order Obama out of the WH.
Funnier still they claimed it was the constitution behind it.
"...Congress acting alone can do a lot to neuter him by declaring his actions illegal and treasonous, demanding his resignation..."
THAT part of the statement, yes; if they took the Bully pulpit every day, every time he does anything, yes.
The power of the word "No" is amazing. It signifies that you will NOT comply, you will NOT give in or agree or capitulate.
But we have a "Speaker" who is more weeper than speaker and has lost his spine, and aside from a few staunch Conservative/Tea Party folks, the rest are largely acting on Boehner's lack of leadership and following suit.
I would love to see Trey Gowdy stand up and openly challenge Boehner for the SOTH position, call for a vote of "No Confidence" and make it happen.
Then maybe you would in fact see Congress finally step up.
In order to get respect, you must first have Self-respect; and the SOTH reflects the lack of self-respect as far as I'm concerned.
Obama wont resign.
"...Obama wont resign...."
Granted. But that's not the point.
The point is to loudly and publicly call him out for his bullsh*t at every opportunity, instead of just meekly rolling over and peeing on their bellies.
Show some spine, point out WHY what he's doing is illegal, unconstitutional, treasonous, etc., every damned day until the end of his term.
It's the doing NOTHING on the part of the SOTH that just tacitly blesses his actions, so he gets away with it.
The media is in his pocket; but if the House used it's power as part of the co-equal branch of government to broadcast opposition, every damned day, a lot of this wouldn't be gotten away with.
Is Trey Gowdy a member of the British House of Commons or a similar parliamentary system? If so, then he have a vote of No Confidence" against the party leader. Otherwise, it doesn't work that way in the United States. You can't change leaders in the middle of a session.
In theory I suppose he call for a "no confidence" vote against Boehner and it could even pass, but it would have symbolic effect only (unlike in parliamentary systems where it would cause the government to immediately dissolve and new elections to be held).
Ironically, I most often see the "we're a Republic, not a democracy!" people demand "no confidence" votes, which just proves they don't know what a "Republic" is, and despite the fact they claim to defend it so much, they seem to prefer an old European style monarchy, complete with no confidence votes and government-appointed upper houses.

Coy Glasscock used a bow and arrow to kill this 25-pound turkey with one-inch spurs and a 10-inch beard.
A couple of weeks into this broken arm thing I've come to realize that "looking forward" to a season, be it hunting or fishing, is as exciting as participating.
Or, as I've said before, it's the "gettin' ready" as much as the "doin'."
Of course the usual progression is getting tackle ready as in cleaning, then recleaning guns, sharpening or replacing hooks, and organizing everything.
With a beautiful week, I hope you had an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.
Sorry about last week. Some of you … OK, the half-dozen or so who read my columns may be wondering what happened to my article!
Well, it's simple, I broke my arm. To be specific, I broke the humerus, the big upper bone, in my left arm late Saturday evening (April 25).
Needless to say, it hurt too much, and the pain pills sort of goofed me out, so I didn't bother with a column.
Chris Brady of Lebanon took this turkey on Sunday evening May 3 in Marion County during the Spring turkey season. It weighed 22 pounds and sported a 10-inch beard with 7/8-inch spurs and scored 59 1/2 on a scale.
Outdoors columnist Shelton Young was not able to prepare a column for this week's edition. Young broke his arm and was unable to write a full piece.
He did want to remind everyone that the Woodlawn Baptist Church Invitational fishing tournament will be May 16. This year's event will be on Sportsman's Lake.
I don't think you could've designed a better opening day for our spring turkey season!
The rainy weather we'd been having was quickly forgotten as the woods came alive Saturday. Just as the sun started to break over the ridge … there it was, a gobbler.
Now to some that wouldn't mean a whole lot. But, to a turkey hunter with a shotgun in hand, on opening day, it was sweet music!
We know there's a bird nearby, so we'll just hit the box call to let him know we're here.
Gobble, gobble, bang, bang!
That's what most hunters will be hoping to hear come Saturday morning. The opening of our spring wild turkey season kicks in to gear and once again, the elusive bird will drive us crazy.
Of course, getting a bird, or two, isn't really all that hard.
First, you get permission from the landowner of your choice to turkey hunt on his property. In reality this should have already been done, but if you haven't, you better get to it.
Fishing, one of the most confusing sports/hobbies/obsessions there is!
Bass, bluegill or crappie, it's all the same.
I'm talking about the "learning curve." They talk about how much easier it is now to catch fish than it was "back in the day." Mostly, this is attributed to better equipment, i.e. rods, lines and especially electronics.
So what's up with the weather? One day it'll be in the 60s and the next in the 40s ... with rain! We've even had snow!
The answer is pretty simple. It's March in Kentucky!
So how does one fish the various weather patterns? What to throw and how fast to fish?
Water's cold, fish slow. Water's warmer, fish faster. Water's clear, fish close. Water's dirty, fish wide.

"Limited to 250 copies! Horaflora is the moniker of Bay Area resident Raub Roy and "Craterellus Cornucopioides" represents his most seminal work to date. A heavy dose of electronic treachery awaits as "Horn of Plenty" cracks open your ears. Skewed waves flash out and richochet off every surface in the room like little sonic bullets just waiting to load you up with shrapnel. Roy's like a puppet master, wielding bleeps and squirts as his arsenal, bending them into unexpected shapes. Every crackle, every turn is the right one. It's an awesome exercise in trashcan electronics. The flip, "Trumpet of Death," gets even more medieval. Horn squalls are burnt into charred deliciousness. While oscillating squelches are lined up to infinity, endless loops recoil, destroying each other and leaving the ground littered with caustic tonal debris. If these are the deaththroes, color me fucking excited. Recommended." (Brad Rose)

BOSTON (MainStreet) You might be leaving $1 million on the table from a highly common mistake in the workplace.
It's the cash you're missing out on by not negotiating your salary, according to the salary comparison site Salary.com.
The company lays it all out in stark detail, using a person-to-person comparison to reach that $1 million gap.
"Two people are given an initial job offer of $45,000 each (close to many college graduates' first offer)," says Salary.com in a primer on salary negotiations. "One person negotiates an initial $5,000 bump and a 4% raise each third year a typical progression for negotiated salaries. The other person accepts the initial offer and just a 1% pay increase each year a typical year-over-year progression without negotiation."
After a 45-year career, the difference in their total lifetime earnings is $1,037,773, Salary.com concludes.
Before heading out to the balcony to rage over losing out on a cool million, take a deep breath.according to Salary.com, it's not like you can't jump in and change that behavior. If you just ask for a 4% raise every three years, you can increase your career income total substantially.
But you'll have to change some career behaviors first, the firm says. The primary roadblocks to productive salary negotiations are zero preparation, a lack of confidence and weak negotiating skills.
To get up to speed, you're going to have to grasp some realities:
- 61% of workers say they are afraid of hearing the word "no" when asking for more money, yet 73% of managers say they respect employees who negotiate.
- 84% of employers fully expect employees and job candidates to ask for more money.
- According to data from Salary.com, "zero companies" fired an employee who stepped up and asked for more money.
To maximize your chances of getting that 4% annual raise, try getting the upper hand with some proven strategies:

WASHINGTON — The Customs Service's mammoth effort to step up the security of the thousands of cargo containers that enter U.S. ports each day is gaining steam.
This story first appeared in the November 22, 2002 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Since April, companies that import 34 percent of all U.S.-bound cargo have signed up to participate in a voluntary supply-chain security program called the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism. The program's goal is to prevent a cargo container from being used to smuggle terrorist operatives or materials into the U.S.
That news was revealed Thursday by Robert Perez, director of field operations for the initiative, at a meeting with 500 officials from an array of companies, many of them C-TPAT participants like Sara Lee Corp. Customs is offering companies who participate in the program faster processing of their cargo through U.S. ports if the companies undertake a security audit, tightening weak links in security from factory floors to foreign ports.
Perez said 90 percent of the U.S.-bound ocean carriers have signed on with their own C-TPAT protocol.
"The primary goal of C-TPAT is all about creating more secure supply chains, while at the same time making it more efficient," Perez said, describing the cargo effort as simply a risk-management tool. "In the end, that's what it's all about: Managing risk better…. We're going to move our stuff out of the way so we can focus on the unknown."
In coming months, Perez said the agency plans to enlist foreign countries and companies into C-TPAT. The agency also will begin to select audits of C-TPAT participants, which Perez calls "validations." However, he stressed that these validations aren't designed to levy punishments, but rather to strengthen the supply chain.
He stressed the voluntary nature of the program and need for government-business cooperation.
