UQM to Develop Motor/Generator Controller for Air Force Hybrid and Li-Ion EV Truck Testing
11 January 2006
UQM Technologies has been awarded a $1.08 million contract supplement to an existing U.S. Air Force contract to convert a conventional one-half ton pickup truck to all-electric operation.
The contract supplement expands the scope of work to add the development of an electronic motor/generator controller that utilizes high operating temperature silicon carbide power switching modules.
UQM is developing the controller for the USAF Advanced Power Technology Office of the 542nd Combat Sustainment Wing at Robins Air Force Base in cooperation with the U.S. Army National Automotive Center and Mississippi State University.
The Air Force expects to field-test the controller in at least one of the Air Force's hybrid electric vans, buses and/or in the all-electric pickup truck powered by lithium-ion batteries currently being built by the Company.
The contract supplement increases the total contract value to $1.83 million and extends the expected completion date to March 31, 2007. Initial delivery and testing of the all-electric pickup truck will not be impacted by the contract supplement and is scheduled for March 2006.
This program is focused on the development and application of high power silicon carbide modules that are currently not available. Silicon carbide power modules offer the advantage of substantially higher operating temperatures when compared to traditional silicon modules, and motor/generator controllers that use silicon carbide are able to operate in harsher environments which opens up new platform opportunities and simplifies vehicle architectures. This technology is of significant interest to both military and commercial hybrid electric vehicle customers, and we are excited that the Air Force has selected UQM to lead this effort.—Jon Lutz, UQM Technologies' Director of Engineering

Hybrid electric vehicles are interesting to the military for a reason. For example it's very good if your tank or whatever can have a silent electric drive in combat situations while using the ordinary diesel when just driving around.
Why they do all electric I have no idea. Probably just playing around with their research funds.
John, in a war situation, where does the diesel fuel come from? A person can't portably "generate" refined petroleum for an internal combustion engine. Electricity is another matter entirely. Especially in the desert, soldiers are swimming in unharnessed energy -- it's just a matter of converting it for use. The more of your operation you run on electricity, the more flexible you can be; finding or bringing sources of remote generation (hydro, wind, solar, heck even nuclear or microwave) is a lot easier than fighting to keep a long supply line open in hostile territory. And if you listen to the doomsdayers and peak-oilers, well maybe in fifty years there won't be so much cheap oil to refine anymore, for fuel at a price the military can justify.
Definitely, the common problems still exist -- batteries don't store enough, solar cells don't generate enough per unit of surface area. But these problems are finally being dealt with the only way they really can be -- massive rivers of money. Like the money Wall Street is now betting on solar and the huge automotive manufacturer funded upswing in lithium battery development due to the popularity of hybrids. And then there's the point of this article here, which is to say that soon there will be devices capable of controlling electrical power in extremely harsh environments. For the military, I think it's just another piece for their puzzle.

I dont have that Umod deal yet,sorry,put all the files in there respective folders
should have the following texture files
The following sound file
the following music files
I looked for the author listing for these mods,but couldnt find any.
If you wrote these and want credit,I will gladly give it to you.
Extended description:
I scrapped this project twice,altogether,due to two major improvements i learned
about level designing,my first revelation was vertex manipulation,I figured out
how to stretch vertex points,to give my levels less of a blocky feel,and decided to start
over,second was when i learned it was best to use 128,256,etc powers of two
geometry sizes for building,makes it a lot easier to texture,hehe.(Why
didnt someone tell me this sooner?)
Many thanks to Ruth Thompson,Todd Jordan,and Sean Murray of Tarnished Images
For creating this artwork,letting me sue this artwork,and sending me some awesome
images to use,I have a S3 version of this level that looks just awesome,Its a little
bulky though,But if you want to see what this artowrk really looks like,check out
Ancient Future,if you have a voodoo2 or s3/s4 card,it is really Some awesome stuff.
I may release the S3 version of this somewhere,kind of waiting to see where those
levels go,they are a little big,Maybe i will make a conversion someday with
new monsters,I would have loved to throw a dragon in here! as well as some flails,maces,etc. for weapons.
maybe someday.
at the end of this level you are rewared (punished)with some of my own guitar music!
just a little rpeview of my heavy metal punk blues country rhythm jammy swing
rap pop techno funk music,on that note,my future projects are going to focus a lot on Music and sounds,
as well as textures,I was getting myself into a lot of crap that i shouldnt have been trying
to do,trying to make promo stuff for proffesional types,working with mod projects that
went nowhere (Not you E.V.I.L guys,you guys were cool,and maybe i still might hae some sound
fx for you,hehe These guys went to Halflife format,which is cool for the EVIl mod
because it has zombies,and all that)but anyway,this is the one project I was doing
for fun,and I did it right,for the most part,and it turned out better than all that
stuff I wasnt really into.anyway,If someone does want to work on a mod or better yet,
something proffesional,I would really like to make something cool with this,
I hope this level shows im on well on my way.But for now,Im going to strictly
fun stuff,I was acting like an ass,and getting to serious about this,this started out
as a fun thing,and i almost lost sight of why I got into this,which is that I
want to create something..lasting.you know,like art.anyway,I hope you like this
as much as I enjoyed making it.
again,go check out
naming contests, and some awesome artwork!
If you want the full little background,go read the file,the last king,here is the gist of it
You are a teacher,combat teacher,sent to a planet to teach the nali,you and this
worlds "King"are talking in the tower late at night.
Author's Notes
I have to mention Planet Unreal,and NaliCity,who have always been real cool
and got me where im at now,with this map,this map is for you guys.

Business Highlights
The Associated Press
Goldman exec resigns with a blistering farewell
NEW YORK (AP) - Goldman Sachs, arguably the most storied investment bank on Wall Street, has been compared to a money-sucking vampire squid and called the evil empire of finance. On Wednesday it got an entirely different kind of black eye - delivered by one of its own.
Greg Smith, an executive director at the bank, resigned with a blistering opinion piece that accused the bank of losing its "moral fiber," putting profits ahead of customers' interests and dismissing customers as "muppets."
The decline of the bank's culture, he wrote, threatened the bank's survival after 143 years.
The stinging rebuke, "Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs," appeared in The New York Times, was the talk of Wall Street on Wednesday and was widely circulated online. Smith became a trending topic on Twitter, the social network website.
Bond market sees a stronger economy
WASHINGTON (AP) - The bond market is betting on a stronger economy.
Prices for U.S. Treasury debt plunged for the fifth straight trading session Wednesday, and the yield on the benchmark 10-year note spiked to its highest level since October.
Money poured out of bonds and into stocks after rosy words on Tuesday from the Federal Reserve gave traders confidence that the economic recovery is strengthening. Major stock market averages are at or near four-year highs.
Treasury yields - and interest rates that take their cues from Treasury yields, including mortgage rates - remain near all-time lows. So while mortgage rates may creep up, they should remain historically low.
Citi disappointment on Fed test raises questions
NEW YORK (AP) - Everyone expected Citigroup to pass the Federal Reserve's latest stress test easily.
It had just posted two years of profits, and CEO Vikram Pandit said as recently as March 7 that he was "confident" about rewarding shareholders with more dividends. Pandit himself was handsomely rewarded with a $14.8 million pay package last year.
But in a shock to Wall Street, Citigroup failed the Fed's annual checkup for banks. It said Citi, unlike its peers, does not have enough capital to raise its stock dividend and still withstand a financial crisis worse than 2008.
Analysts were left wondering Wednesday what lies inside of Citi's loan portfolios and whether the nation's third-largest bank had fully recovered from the meltdown three and a half years ago.
Fed now tweeting, but keep expectations in check
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Federal Reserve isn't known for its brevity. Now, it has no choice.
At least when it comes to the tweets it will issue through its official Twitter channel which it launched Wednesday.
Like other Twitter users, the Fed will have to limit its tweets to 140 characters. Just listing the official name of its policymaking panel, the Federal Open Market Committee, would consume roughly a quarter of that space.
Don't expect too much excitement from Chairman Ben Bernanke's august institution. After all, it's not like following Lady Gaga or Ashton Kutcher.
Unless, of course, excitement is defined by a tweet like, "Watch a video of Chairman Bernanke explaining the structure of the Federal Reserve."
Or one that directs you to a report on mobile financial services. Or to a Bernanke speech on community banking.
Those were among the Fed's first four tweets.
Investors push to know Warren Buffett's successor
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A group of Berkshire Hathaway investors from the AFL-CIO wants to require the company to reveal Warren Buffett's successor.
The labor union's AFL-CIO Reserve Fund submitted a proposal that Berkshire shareholders will vote on at the annual meeting this May.
The union wants to require the Omaha-based company to disclose a written succession plan that includes the criteria for the next chief executive and the identities of promising internal candidates.
The proposal would address something many Berkshire shareholders have worried about for years because so much of the company's success is attributed to the 81-year-old Buffett.
US trade deficit rose to $124.1 billion
WASHINGTON (AP) - A slight drop in exports and a rise in imports widened the broadest measure of the U.S. trade deficit at the end of last year. The increase pushed the gap to its widest point in three years.
The Commerce Department said Wednesday that the current account trade deficit increased 15.3 percent in the October-December quarter, to $124.1 billion.
A higher trade deficit acts as a drag on growth. It means more goods and services are being purchased from overseas, while U.S. companies are making fewer sales overseas.
Exports decreased slightly to $380.4 billion, in part because of a drop in overseas demand for U.S. airline tickets. Imports ticked up to $566.7 billion. The increase was partly driven by increased purchases of imported airplanes.
Bernanke says community banks strengthening
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. community banks are gaining strength even though the economy is improving only moderately, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Wednesday.
The Fed chief delivered prerecorded remarks to a convention of community bankers in Nashville. The speech was similar to one he gave last month in Arlington, Va.
Bernanke said community bank profits were higher in 2011 than the previous year and bad loans were decreasing. He also said they have built up cushions against loan losses. Community banks have assets below $10 billion.
Reynolds American to cut 10 percent of jobs by 2014
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Reynolds American Inc., the second-biggest U.S. tobacco company, said Wednesday that it will eliminate about 10 percent of its workforce, or about 540 jobs, by the end of 2014 to cut costs.
The move will reduce spending by $70 million a year for the Winston-Salem, N.C.-based maker of Camel, Pall Mall and Natural American Spirit brand cigarettes.
Reynolds, which also sells Kodiak and Grizzly smokeless tobacco products, said most departures will be voluntary.
The company expects to take about $110 million in severance and other charges in the first quarter, and it expects to save about $25 million from the cuts this year. It thinks that will rise to $70 million annually by 2015.
J&J CEO gets 8 percent pay boost in 2011, to $23 million
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Johnson & Johnson raised compensation 8 percent last year for outgoing CEO William Weldon, despite a seemingly endless string of product recalls, mediocre 2011 results and ongoing lawsuits and government probes into some products and marketing practices.
Weldon, who will step down next month after a decade as CEO but remain chairman of the board for the time being, raked in total compensation valued at $23.4 million last year. That's up from $21.6 million in 2010. The total includes salary of $1.91 million and more than $20 million in stock awards, option awards, performance bonus and other compensation.
The health care giant, based in New Brunswick, N.J., disclosed the compensation package Wednesday in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
Zynga holders plan to sell up to $400 million in stock
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Zynga shareholders may sell up to $400 million of stock through a public offering, three months after the online game maker went public, to try to avoid a drop in its stock price.
The San Francisco-based company said Wednesday that shareholders are selling stock to "facilitate an orderly distribution of shares." This means the company wants to make sure its stockholders don't sell a lot of stock all at once when the post-IPO "lock-up" period expires. Early investors typically must wait about six months to sell off parts of their stakes after an initial public offering. The expected wave of share sales can weigh on a newly public company's stock price.
The company said it is releasing selling stockholders from the lock-up, which was set to end on May 28. In exchange, the sellers, which could include company directors and executives, will agree to longer lock-up agreements for shares they are not selling, staggering sales over a longer period.
By The Associated Press(equals)
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 16.42 points to 13,194.10, up 0.1 percent. The Standard & Poor's 500 edged down 1.67 points to 1,394.28. The Nasdaq composite inched up 0.85 point to end at 3,040.73.
Benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude, which sets the price of much of the oil produced in the U.S., fell by $1.28 to $105.43 per barrel in New York. Brent crude, used to price oil imported by U.S. refineries, fell by $1.25 to finish at $124.97 per barrel in London.
Heating oil and gasoline futures both lost less than a penny to end at $3.2618 and $3.347 per gallon, respectively. Natural gas futures fell by 1.5 cents to end at $2.2840 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Defeat drives Heaslip
Jamie Heaslip admits Ireland's feeble surrender to England at Twickenham last year left a deep scar.
The Irish were routed 30-9, with a disintegrating scrum - tighthead prop Mike Ross suffered a neck injury early in the game - the source of their downfall. The RBS 6 Nations rivals meet on Sunday and the potential championship decider is their first opportunity to avenge that defeat, but Heaslip has stressed that cool heads are more important than fire and brimstone.
"We strive to be a consistently good side and always want to do the jersey proud," the Ireland captain said. "On that day we were sat in the changing room afterwards feeling that we hadn't done the jersey proud. Not many people in the team could say they'd done a good job."
He continued: "We came off second best and we had experience of that in New Zealand as well. There are tough days in any office. You learn from it and go on.
"I haven't looked back on that England game much, it was pretty grim in the changing room afterwards. It wasn't a proud to be as a professional. Any big loss you bank, but the engineer in me means I try to be clinical. You don't want to let the emotion come into it."
Scotland's Lions legend Jim Telfer caused a stir during the build-up to the opening round of the Six Nations when he accused the England of being arrogant, but Heaslip is wary of inciting the tournament favourites.
"I met (England captain) Chris Robshaw two weeks ago and he was a lovely guy. I can't say a bad word about him," he said.
"Any of the guys from the England set up that I've played with have been great guys."
Ireland coach Declan Kidney named an unchanged starting XV against England after centre Gordon D'Arcy and flanker Peter O'Mahony were passed fit. D'Arcy has recovered from the dead leg he sustained against Wales, while O'Mahony has been given the all clear after suffering concussion in the same match.
An attritional championship opener at Millennium Stadium also saw centre Brian O'Driscoll, flanker Sean O'Brien, full-back Rob Kearney and prop Ross incur knocks that have cleared up during the week.

Harlequins 51-18 Leeds, Aviva Premiership, November 28
Back's job safe - Hetherington
ESPNscrum Staff
November 28, 2010
Leeds director of rugby Andy Key talks to ESPN%]
Leeds chief executive Gary Hetherington rubbished reports that head coach Neil Back was facing the sack after their 51-18 defeat to Harlequins.
Hetherington insisted that the board are backing their management, despite the fact that they have nine defeats from nine to show from a very difficult season.
He said: "You can do without that type of reporting. It was claimed to come from 'a source close to the club', but there are no sources close to the club. There's just the club and we are all in this together.
"There will be no knee-jerk reactions from us. We are committed to doing what we did last season, which was a tremendous fightback in the second half of the season to achieve safety. We are seven points adrift, but there is a lot of rugby to be played yet. I'm the chief executive and I am saying that we are working together to improve and turn this situation around."
Leeds rugby director Andy Key said: "We are massively disappointed because we have come here, scored two tries yet leave empty-handed. Why? Because of our own basic errors.
"To get off to a good start only to ship an intercept try makes life tough immediately, and then we fell so far behind due to errors that you know the way back is a steep climb. The history of this season so far is littered with our basic errors proving so costly. It just means our efforts have to be stepped up even further.
"It's great to hear Gary say what he said, because when you read stuff like that about 'Backy' it just does not help anyone. We have always felt that the board are behind us, which is a great help when you are struggling. There have been some positives from every game. It is just a case of us getting that breakthrough win and the confidence levels rocket upwards."

Harlequins captain Chris Robshaw admitted it was about time they finished a greater percentage of their chances.
He said: "We've produced some good performances this season without the quality of finishing to match, so scoring seven tries at home feels very good.
"We have a lot of belief as a squad that we are a top-six side. We want to play an expansive and exciting brand of rugby, but to achieve that you also need to get your basics right. Finishing is one of them and, as we saw in defeat at Leicester last weekend, you pay a hefty price in such games if you don't score when tries are there to be scored."
Quins rugby director Conor O'Shea said: "I am delighted with this result because we have been creating chances but not taking them. We showed real ambition out there, and I think that is how rugby should be played. Now we go to Saracens next weekend and need to build on this performance."

Oh boy, let the backlash begin! Kim Kardashian must realize that she will spend the next six months under a ridiculous microscope and so she'll have two choices: either lay low (and that ain't gonna' happen) or get ready to explain every move she makes. This morning loads of photos of Kim in a black dress looking a bit pudgy have popped up online, but people are neglecting to mention that they are from her dinner date at NOBU.
Supposedly Kim met up with a bunch of pals at one of LA's hottest sushi bars and that made us here at Celeb Dirty Laundry stop and think for a second (and that is about all the thinking of which we are capable on a cover Wednesday). Raw fish is a no-no for pregnant women and I'm pretty sure she has been informed of this. Until now I figured Kimmie will follow all the pregnancy rules and then just leave her baby to be raised by nannies and paraded around in a couture outfit once a week. Now I wonder if she will even be able to let go of her chronic selfishness for a few months in order to have a healthy baby.
Kim has flip flopped on the idea of pregnancy recently on Kourtney and Kim Take Miami. We have seen her actually vilify Kourtney's boring life as a mother and publicly say she's glad that she's not one! Of course now she claims to be thrilled to have a baby on board but let's be real here, Kim is spoiled rotten. Is she even capable of abstaining from something as simple as sushi for a few months?
Can Kim give up her completely pampered lifestyle even temporarily? She's not used to hearing the word no or having to deny herself anything. Do you think she's willing to do it now, or was that trip to NOBU just an example of how careless she is in this pregnancy? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!

Summer's arrival means not only longer days and empty campuses, but a chance to regroup, recover, and rediscover the fine art of making connections.
In previous posts, we've talked a bit about cleaning up social media profiles to put the best possible face into the world. But social media, and the social opportunities that have their genesis online, are positive ways of creating new relationships, both personally and professionally.
The most prominent professional social media network is LinkedIn. Hundreds of thousands of professionals of all types have profiles here. Connections may be made around the corner, or around the world. The site also offers a platform for groups of almost any imaginable type. Check some out. Some are open to all, others require a group administrator's' approval. Once in a group, one can expect to find like-minded professions with broad to narrow interests. And, consider stepping up to become a group administrator or moderator yourself. That task will give you the chance to approve requests for new members, and to moderate discussions. It also makes a great addition to any resume or vitae.
MeetUps are also a great way to find new people with specific interests. These groups are found online, but get together in person. MeetUp groups take place in almost every city, and in most places, represent a diversity of opportunities to learn something new, or find a group of like-minded individuals. Some groups enjoy hiking or craft beer, while others meet to dispense business advice or advance networking opportunities. Historians, chefs and devotees of a variety of sports and games find MeetUp groups that appeal to them.
So for pleasure or to make new business connection, online communities might be good ways to advance your career in real life.

Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Josh Brent walked out of a Texas jail barefoot yesterday — as the grandmother of teammate Jerry Brown Jr. told The Post she has no "hard feelings'' over his death in Brent's alleged drunken-driving accident.
"Nothing can put more punishment on someone than their own conscience," said Theresa Clark, 63.
"That was his best friend," she added of Brent, who cops said was speeding when his Mercedes S60 hit a curb and flipped, killing Brown, 25, in Irving early Saturday.
The two men had played football together for three years at the University of Illinois, and when Brent, 24, later made the Cowboys team, he lobbied its coaches to bring Brown on board, too, according to ex-Cowboy great Michael Irvin.
"Josh was actually the reason Jerry Brown was there," Irvin told "NFL GameDay Morning," saying it was the pals' dream to play in the NFL together.
Brent's bond was set at $500,000 yesterday — more than his season salary of $490,000.
"The bond is 16 times higher than it would have been for anybody that doesn't play for the Dallas Cowboys," griped Brent's lawyer, George Milner.
Before the Cowboys' 20-19 win over the Bengals yesterday, a moment of silence was observed at Cincinnati's Paul Brown Stadium.

Medicine may relieve swelling, inflammation, and pain in the wrist or hand related to carpal tunnel syndrome. Reducing swelling in the wrist will relieve pressure on the median nerve in the carpal tunnel and relieve your symptoms.
Medicine choices
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may relieve pain and inflammation and are available with or without a prescription. They work best if your tendon is inflamed. NSAIDS don't relieve pressure on the median nerve, but they may make you feel better.
Corticosteroids may be a treatment option when NSAIDs don't effectively relieve pain and inflammation. But these are powerful anti-inflammatory medicines. They have side effects that should be considered. Corticosteroids can be taken in pill form or injected into the wrist by a doctor.
What to think about
Medicine should be used with other measures (such as ice, rest, and splints) to reduce pain and inflammation.
- Usually aren't used until nonsurgical treatments (such as rest, ice, splints, or anti-inflammatory medicines) have been tried for several weeks with no improvement.
- Often provide temporary relief (for several weeks or more). Injected corticosteroids usually provide longer-lasting results than those taken by mouth (oral). But oral or injected medicines rarely provide permanent relief from carpal tunnel symptoms.

NIST crafts molecular solder iron
Post a comment
Portland, Ore. - While molecular-size components such as diodes and resistors built from individual atoms have been demonstrated in laboratories worldwide, their exceedingly small size creates some fundamental problems. One is how to solder these tiny components into circuits. Now the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is offering a patented solution: a molecular soldering iron for researchers who are assembling electronics one atom at a time.
"We patented this process because we knew of the need for something like a molecular soldering iron from U.S. researchers," said NIST researcher Chris Zangmeister, who said that NIST is "cooperating with universities and companies like Hewlett-Packard" on the project.
The process, co-developed by Zangmeister and fellow NIST researcher Roger van Zee, connects molecular components with copper by selectively coating only the ends that need to be soldered. A layer of molecular components is first assembled with all their ends pointing upward from the substrate. The dangling ends get coated, so that future devices can be soldered into a second layer in a multilayered-chip construction similar to the way silicon chips are built.
NIST and other U.S. and foreign labs have already demonstrated molecular components based on carbon molecules that function as diodes, resistors, wires and even transistors. But their extreme density-more than 10,000x greater than existing electronic components-makes them impossible to solder together into working circuits .
"The question we asked ourselves was whether you could use the molecular components themselves to attract the copper atoms to their ends-and our answer is yes, it can be done, and this is how," said Zangmeister.
The first step was to bond the molecular components permanently to the substrate, in this case gold. That was done by forming a strong covalent chemical bond by virtue of microcontact printing. With a stamp similar to those used on a printing press, the molecules bond with the gold, forming a self-assembled monolayer of organic molecular components.
Once firmly attached to the substrate, the dangling, unconnected ends of the components are selectively coated with copper. In the past, attempts to solder individual elements from such thin films of molecular components gave very low yields, since many of the copper molecules fell "in between" the molecular components, shorting them out. But the NIST microprinting process pretreated only the ends of the molecules, in any desired pattern; the copper sticks to only those components that need to be soldered. "We have been able to increase yields from just a few percent, without our process, to rival that of commercial chip yields," said Zangmeister.
The key, he said, was to functionalize the dangling ends of the components before exposing them to electroless deposition plating baths. By patterning the functionalized molecules (by attaching a carboxylic acid on each end), the researchers were able to demonstrate preferential copper deposition only on the desired components.
"In the future, we hope others will license our process to create multilayer working circuits using molecular components from the bottom up," said Zangmeister.
Zangmeister and van Zee have now turned to characterizing molecular-size electronic components that are compatible with their multilayer, bottom-up circuit-soldering method. The idea is to create a catalog of characterized molecules for all of the common circuit functions.
"We are trying to figure out all the fundamentals of charge transport in molecular-size components," noted Zangmeister. "We want to understand not only how to attach them to surfaces and interconnect them in layers, but also how different types of metal connections between them change their conductance and other electrical properties."

Review for MaleSurvivor: National Organization Against Male Sexual Victimization, New York, NY, USA
There's no other organization that addresses men's issues pertaining to sexual abuse. MaleSurvivor is made up of caring facilitators and therapists. I participated in two of their Weekends of Recovery and was touched and awed by the high level of compassion, concern and respect. I can't recommend this organization highly enough! Thank you.

Reviews (4)
"Nice, but...."
Yes, this is a nice curb strap. However, the description is misleading. It said sewn, but it also has rivets. Therefore it is illegal to use in my type of showing (NRCHA). I'll use it, but I was looking for something for my show bridle.
"Great quality!"
This is a really nice curb strap for a snaffle set up. Love this one, buying another for sure!
"Amazing curb strap"
This is by far the best curb strap I have ever bought and you can't beat the price! I was amazed at the quality for the price. The leather is soft and supple. I expect this curb strap to last a long time.
"Immensely good deal"
Just can't beat the price on these. Nice soft harness leather. Quality construction all the way and Amish made from Berlin Custom Leather. I've owned a ton of harness leather over the years, and their stuff measures up as well as any. I have not yet purchased one in latigo, but would presume it is also fine and dandy. Can't go wrong at this price, and if I need to pad an order to get to $60 for free shipping, I head straight to these curb straps. Perfect color/leather match for their unoiled harness leather headstall(s) and reins also sold here, although these have nickel hardware and those have brass, go figure.

Ultimately, no new technology will ever be successful unless it delivers porn to the user better than was done before.
Microsoft's Bing is slowly but surely being rolled out to interweb surfers throughout the world - and those who can already get their sticky hands on the new search engine are finding hardcore porno videos are now just two clicks away. The Blighty version of the site, which has replaced Redmond's clunky old Live Search, is now …
Ultimately, no new technology will ever be successful unless it delivers porn to the user better than was done before.
No time for a witty comment, over to Bing! to check this out in the interests of technical research...
What do people think safe search is for? Pretty much the same happens in google .
Disabling safety protocols and then whining about the results is just idiotic.
this becomming succsessfull !!
good excuse at work ! nah i just typed in johnson !!!
or i was looking for a old freind called ben dover !! typo and forgot the put a space in ....
heh heh
bofh is gonna love this
and I would like Bing to fail miserably whilst costing MS millions of dollars but wait a minute.
Why is this news? And why single out the MS search site.
Type XXX into the top three or four search engines and press return. Guess what, one is now not two but one click away from hardcore pornography.
Singling out MS in this way is just ridiculous.
... and while without allowing cookies the wretched thing will not even allow me to change the language and there WAS NO OPTION to turn-off safe search, entering "sex" got me:
"Die Suche sex kann jugendgefährdenden Inhalt zurückgeben. Ändern Sie Ihre Suchbegriffe, um Ergebnisse zu erhalten."
which is bland German for "the query sex can return content unsuitable for minors. Change your query to get results."
There is not even an option saying "that's fine with me, carry on".
This is probably the shortest way *ever* to show why I just cannot bother with MS products in my life. Not because they won't get me porn. No, because they think they can tell me what to want. It's a search engine, you wussies! You don't question your users' intentions, you FREAKIN' DELIVER RESULTS FOR THE QUERY.
Said either in that salubrious Leslie Phillips tone, or in a descending intonation similar to a game show wrong answer sound.
I'll take the latter.
I searched for a pretty unsavoury search term, turned off safe search, clicked videos, and on mouse over, you get your filthy material playing in the thumbnail.
Utterly fantastic, they're on to a winner
Seems to think we are all German???
... orgasmic.
It plays with my ding-a-ling... but just ever so briefly.
It hasn't even got Klingon as a language preference, what sort of a search engine is that?
But if it works that's fantastic.
"This is probably the shortest way *ever* to show why I just cannot bother with MS products in my life. Not because they won't get me porn. No, because they think they can tell me what to want. It's a search engine, you wussies! You don't question your users' intentions, you FREAKIN' DELIVER RESULTS FOR THE QUERY."
You seem to have confused Microsoft with Apple.
Germany has some fairly draconian internet pr0n laws, so if you're actually in Germany, I can't say I'm surprised. Flickr does the same thing, as do many other sites. If you don't like it, complain to the German government. Of course if you're not in Germany, it's simply a poorly implemented geolocation issue.
In reply to the article itself, exactly the same thing happens with Google, so this is not news™.
@ The Dark Lord:
Apple runs a search engine?
@ AC: 1st June 2009 14:08 GMT
You seem to be on something interesting. Please share name & dosage.
I thought it was praise not whining.
Just change the country setting from the dropdown menu and stop whining.
Changing anything apparently does not work unless I allow cookies, which I won't.
- changing location to another country changes nothing, the country will revert once you press search
- changing the language in options will not work, as soon as you press "save" it reverts back
You can actually play funny guessing games on which queries it will allow and which not:
"vagina" works
"penis" doesn't
Also, I would appreciate it if you would not disqualify my valid criticism (it does not work, it's arbitrarily patronizing) as "whining". I have wasted enough time on "bing" already. I will now go back to an engine that will not constantly refuse results.
Wow search for sex on a search engine, turn off the child locks and it finds some, who'd have thunk it? Wouldn't it have been a bit more of a story if it didn't return your expected results?
MS Bing, so pi*s poor it can't even find pr0n on the internet?
I know MS can never ever do anything right but really guys, this really has the sound of bottom of barrels being scraped.
So both of your issues would be resolved if you allowed cookies, you would be able to search without having your results blocked or filtered and you would be able to set your location to wherever you chose. This is exactly the type of application cookies are for :P Whiner!
If I understand the article the reason to be excited by this over other search engines is that you can have video results returned in viewable form by the browser site - no need to visit a pr0n site, the content is presented by a 'safe', unblocked search engine that won't be filtered out by school, college, work, Mrs Anonymous Coward or whoever.
Is that it?
Does Google also do this?
Not being a pr0nhunting expert I don't know if this is newsworthy or not.
@BB - it won't work unless one accepts cookies, you won't accept cookies, it won't work. FOR YOU. Your choice of course but somewhat akin to a vegetarian moaning that they "cannot" eat at El Gaucho.
Paris because.
i like the 'mountain view'... are they trying to be funny?
Bad Beaver is right. I accepted cookies once at glastonbury and I felt very odd all day,a lthough i did discover a new species of grass.
Mommy said I should never ever accept cookies from strangers, you never know what's inside.
Honestly, of course the cookie-issue is the same with Google. Unless you allow cookes — at least for the session — you cannot save your changes.
The DIFFERENCE is that Google will not tell you "you can't have that, go search for something decent". If you tell BING you're from Austria (and of course allow cookies, as if you do you can tell it whatever you want), it will give you all the smut you desire. If you tell it you're from Korea, you will be allowed to search for smutty pictures (but not video), but the results are not as good and for some reason involve Super Mario and George W. Bush.
Call me old fashioned, but I simply want a search-engine to process my query. I don't want it to filter my results by location unless I opted for that, and I most definitely don't want it to tell me what is not ok to look for.
That's obviously why you're a bad beaver.
"I simply want a search-engine to process my query."
They are - you just don't like the answer! ;)
I'm not sure you will find a major search engine these days that defaults to "porn and all" search queries without them requiring you to opt-out of a safe search - basically to protect themselves from the "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!" crowd that will turn up at company HQ with pitchforks and torches because little bad beaver typed in "mummy beaver" trying to look for his mummy, and instead lost his innocence... it makes sense, you just don't know it yet! :)
I tried that , I got pictures of Mummies (undead ones) and beavers. I had to scroll down (not click between pages of results - at least that's one thinkg it's got over Google) to about image 500 before I got the front cover off a Playboy magazine and that was all
The problem is the 30 second video teasers that the search engine will show even though the source sites are blocked by blocking software, now we will have to start blocking bling videos page as a Pr0n site. Which is a pity as here in the Uk there is nothing chavs like better than a bit of Bling...
Paris as she is the queen of bling
AC 08:16 beat me to it. It is actually "news" because while all search engines will dole out titty fairly well, if you're sat behind a filter you won't be able to click through to it. With Bing on the other hand you never leave the site, so it renders said filter useless. I haven't the time or inclination to figure out how they do it, but at my workplace they've also filtered out embedded video so still no moving titty for me.
What's coming to the world, when a search term such as mummy beaver doesn't produce any naughty pics.... :(
Sorry to get your hopes up.
Try typing 'bing sucks' in
I'd glanced at Bing for all of 30 seconds and gone back to Google, didn't even get to the dirty video thumbnails... think I'll be going back now. Great ad for the service.
(Mine's the dirty raincoat...)
Isn't a hefty % of all search smut-related? If so then bing is just helping with your decisions like Amazon's "People that bought A also bought B".
Ah, you typed xxx. Most people that typed xxx ultimately wanted to see pron so lets skip all the silly mouse clickery and just show you the smut.
I saw two problems with Bing.
1) VERY cluttered. I don't expect it to be as clean as Google, but I also don't want to have to full-screen a browser window just to have a usable search engine (oh wait, decision engine...)
2) The name. Even if it was great, I just would feel too silly recommending "Bing" to anyone.
how can you give anything a fair try with only 30 seconds use?! you should really give it a good week or two and see how it goes.

" Type: Massager / Brand: The Sanctuary / Subcategory: Treatment / Sub-type: Anti Cellulite / Subcategory: Massager / What it does: Rejuvenates, "
I have this contraption in the colours in the pic above, The Sanctuary have now released the Spring/Summer 09 version which is black where this is fawn. Because of this monumental(!!) change the old colour ones were all reduced from around £10 to £1.93 in my Boots store, all have sold out now but if you have a store near you its worth a look.
I wouldn't have paid £10 but at this bargainous price I thought I'd give it a go, for the last 2 weeks I have been blitzing my imperfect parts (mainly trying to tone up my thighs and bum) as on Tuesday I'm going to Alton Towers and the Splash Landings waterpark so I will be wearing a bikini in front of other pool-goers, therefore I must look perfect!
I have been using my favourite Garnier Body Tonic which firms my skin gorgeously but thought this gadget would just add to the finished result!
So in my basket one of these went.
The Sanctuary
The Sanctuary is a lovely spa in Covent Garden, they have developed a range of products and accesories which they say they use in the spa on the posh clients and now we can use too (for a fraction of the price) in the comfort of our own home.
The cellulite massager
"Perfect for daily detoxing in the bath or shower, the specially designed nodules assist the lymphatic drainage system, boost circulation and help to improve the appearance of cellulite"
The contraption itself is round, about 4 inch across and has a handle (the fawn coloured bit in the pic) which fits oves your hand. The white bit (where the stimulating nodule thingeys are) is then in the palm of your hand so you have full control over it.
These nodules are of different kinds, there are smaller ones which are just like tiny curved spikes and there are the larger ones which are the same shape but half is partially cut away so one side is a smooth curve and the other is a straight diagonal line, you can kind of see the big ones and what I mean in the picture above if you look carefully.
"Use on damp skin, massage in firm circular motions towards the heart, concentrating on targetted areas of the body"
So the first time I used this I was in the shower and decided to try without using any shower gel on my legs and bum first....big mistake, as the thing is rubbery it kept almost sticking to my skin and me trying to rub in circular motions was giving me friction burns!lol
So I tried with a bit of shower gel and the result was much better, the gadget slid around in nice circles on my skin. My skin went a bit pink from the pressure of the little spiky bits but it was not uncomfortable. Its more comfortable than body brushing and I never minded doing that either.
You can also buy a toning body oil from The Sanctuary range to use in conjuction with this massager for even better and faster results but that will probably cost you in the region of £10.
Its quite a hard rubber material but when pressed on your body it squashes into your shape so each nodule is touching your skin even on your curvy bits!
It says on the little label attached that the firmer you massage and the longer you do it for at a time, the better the results.
It also says for bets results use 3-4 times a week.
I do about 3 minutes on each leg and have been doing this every night for a fortnight now and the results are obvious. My skin feels firmer on my thighs and my bum and my cellulite has all but gone, good job really as its only 2 days till my bikini body baring time!
If you manage to find a reduced one, grab it. If not think carefully about paying £10 but rest assured it does work.

Les Cherwenuk, director of TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline project, said Wednesday that a major reason the pipeline has been subject to delays is because Republicans passed a measure to compel an executive branch decision on the pipeline in 2012, Fuel Fix reports.
At the time, President Obama said he did not have enough information about the pipeline's environmental impact and had to deny the permit on that basis, Cherwenuk argued. "He couldn't [approve it] fundamentally, since the work had not been completed and he had no choice but to deny the permit," he said at an event organized by Hart Energy in Houston.
This prompted TransCanada to submit a new application for Keystone XL approval, in effect restarting the permitting process, Cherwenuk said.

India to launch green tech venture fund
Post a comment
BANGALORE, India The government plans to launch a venture fund to promote green technology research.
The size of the fund and other specifics will be determined by the National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change (NMSKCC). The initiative is separate from a government plan launched in 2007 to subsidize new companies to manufacture photovoltaic cells and panels.
NMSKCC, which is in the process of preparing a mission document with milestones for promoting green technologies, said it will identify key institutes that will be designated as centers of excellence in climate research.
The India Semiconductor Association (ISA) praised the government's green technology plan. "The clean tech sector has seen huge interest from venture funds and private equity investors globally. This is the right time that this is happening in India." said ISA President Poornima Shenoy.
Earlier in the week, NXP Semiconductors agreed to provide electronics components for the manufacturing operations at Tata BP Solar.

I've only ever ran grifo's (done 2 seasons now) and the grip can be interesting when it gets really wet. I noticed even on drier courses racers were running a mud tub up front (limus )
So what tubular tyres do people run for cross and have you got a 2nd set or 2nd front wheel for muddy conditions?
Was looking at the clement pdx or the FMB supermud

Stocks continued to thrive over the past week. And signs point toward that trend continuing as the bullish environment carried the Dow Jones Industrials and the S&P 500 to new all-time highs.
Our index indicators are giving bullish readings, unchanged from last week, as all three major indexes built on their gains. The primary bullish trends remain in place, with the Dow staying above 16,520, the S&P 500 above 1,885, and the Nasdaq above 4,170.
Our internal indicators are confirming the bullishness of the indexes, as the 200-day Moving Averages Index, Cumulative Volume Index and Advance/Decline Index are all bullish. All nine S&P sector funds remain bullish, and the Dow Transports and Dow Utilities are bullish. Volatility indexes have fallen to multi-year lows.
With economic numbers continuing to lag, the driving force behind the bullishness in stocks continues to be easy-money policies from the world's central banks. In fact, the European Central Bank actually reduced key deposit rates to negative. In the United States, easy-money policies are evidenced by ongoing bullishness in long-term Treasury bonds (TLT[1]).
Though TLT pulled back over the past week, it arrested the decline near its 50-day moving average. However, it did slip below its most recent low, so its "higher highs, higher lows" bullish chart pattern may be setting up for some leveling off. That is something to keep an eye on.
Commodity trends also built on their recent improvement. U.S. Oil (USO[2]) and the First Trust ISE Global Copper Index (CU[3]) remain bullish, although USO might be pulling back a little. The Gold ETF (GLD[4]) looks to have stabilized somewhat from its recent fall, though its chart trend and recent history suggest that it is far from out of the bearish woods.
With stocks and key industrial commodities continuing to rally and central banks remaining willing to print money with abandon, signs point to stocks moving still higher. So, options traders should continue to weight their portfolios more toward bullish positions than bearish. But as we mentioned last week[5], when all seems good, that is when things turn bad; with this in mind, keep some puts in your portfolio as well, "just in case."
Here is today's bullish trade:
Buy the Kellogg (K[6]) Sep 72.50 Calls at $1.20 or lower (K's stock price closed Thursday at $68.84). After entry, take profits if the stock price hits $71.40 or the option price hits $2.20. Exit if the stock price closes below $67.30 or the option price closes below 80 cents.
In addition to the K calls, we recommend that you also add the following put trade as downside protection:
Buy the HCP Inc. (HCP[7]) Oct 40 Puts at $1.25 or lower (HCP's stock price closed Thursday at $42.64). After entry, take profits if the stock price hits $39.90 or the option price hits $1.90. Exit if the stock price closes above $42.40 or the option price closes below $1.00.
A note about summer trading: As we move into the summer trading months for the U.S. markets, it's not uncommon to see volume dwindle, so traders should take extra precaution to avoid "moving" the markets by placing large orders at once. We also suggest trying to place limit orders initially and, if those don't get filled, you can switch to market orders.
Just remember that for every one person who is trying to buy an option, there is a corresponding seller who is watching the orders come through and who will adjust the price accordingly, so do what you can to avoid price manipulation.

If you're longtime Gossip Girl fans like us, we're guessing you had that exact reaction during tonight's epic Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair (Leighton Meester) scene, which featured a much-needed apology and some longing glances.
We also got a prince turning to the dark side, a possible new couple and the death of a film. Yes, it was a pretty action-packed hour. Plus, we've also got scoop on what's to come, like the return of a fan favorite couple...
A Long Time Coming: Let's discuss that final Chuck and Blair scene first, shall we? I think we can all agree that it was a long time coming, with Chuck doling out an epic apology that was seasons in the making. "I'm sorry for losing my temper the night you told me Louis proposed to you. I'm sorry for not waiting longer at the Empire State building. I'm sorry for treating you like property. I'm sorry I didn't tell you I loved you when I knew I did. Most of all, I'm sorry that I gave up on us and you never did," Chuck tells a speechless and touched Blair. His apology signified that Chuck is finally ready to let go of Blair and take care of himself, while Blair seemed conflicted. Could her feelings for the Dark Knight be returning?
Louis the Schemer: It seems like Blair's old scheming ways (which returned in fine form tonight via her truly epic bridesmaid tryout) are rubbing off on the prince, as he is paying Dr. Eliza Barnes to push Chuck off the edge. "He's a timebomb," he seethes. "Find his fuse and light it." Louis (Hugo Becker), minus a twirly villainous mustache, wants Chuck to turn back into the hotel-lovin', Blair-sellin' monster he used to be. After seeing Chuck give up Blair's engagement ring (he's been hanging onto it!), the therapist tells Louis the deal is off.
Natch, Chuck finds out and exposes Dr. Barnes and Louis at the party o' the week. When Louis tells Blair he found the paternity test, which told him she still wasn't sure who she wanted to be with, she tells him, "Chuck and I could never work. Chuck destroys everybody and everything in his life. What's scaring me is that you're changing into him." Feel the burn, Louis! P.S. Sorry Chair fans hoping for a Bass baby, the child is definitely the prince's, as we mentioned earlier. Discuss!
Dan Gets Zuckerberg'd: Darn those sneaky film people! After scaring Dan (Penn Badgley) with the idea of turning Inside into Gleeside, causing him to pass on writing the screenplay, Jane (Michael Michele) reveals she's had Aaron Sorkin(!) lined up for a week and tricked Dan into leaving the project. Turns out, they want to turn Dan Humphrey into the next Mark Zuckerberg, making Inside the tale of a struggling writer who sells out his friends and family for fame and fortune. Serena (Blake Lively), who promised Dan she would protect him and his story, has the project killed, losing her job in the process. Luckily, we think, Diana (Elizabeth Hurley) is right there to offer her a job as a blogger for The Spectator, giving S control over her image for the first time in her life. Enjoy it while you can, Van der Woodsen, 'cause we're sure Gossip Girl is not going to be pleased about this!
A New Couple Emerges?: Nate (Chace Crawford), who is hurt that Diana won't go public with their relationship, and Charlie (Kaylee Defer), who is desperate to please Diana the blackmailer, came together tonight and we won't lie, we actually really enjoyed these two together. Also, their makeout session tonight means that Nate has hooked up with every female series regular on the show. Swag!
Giovanni Rufino / The CW
Dair Returns: While the Dan and Blair "friendship" has taken a backseat the past few episodes, this ship is still alive and well. In our most recent Spoiler Chat, we revealed that the sparks could be flying between these two again. Executive producer Josh Safran told us at the beginning of the season that "Dan definitely has feelings for Blair" and wouldn't have a new love interest any time soon, we're hearing the other half of this pairing may start rethinking her "there's nothing going on between us" stance. Surprised? Us too!
Sorry, Charlie!: We're guessing Charlie won't heed Diana's warning to stay away from her boytoy Nate. Why do we think this? Because Charlie's secret, you know, the fact that she's actually an actress named Ivy, is coming out! Yes, everyone will find out that she's been lying about who she is, but don't think that means she's leaving the UES. Ivy and Carol (Sheila Kelley) find a way to cover up their little mess. So yes, prepare for some more Charate/Narlie/Natlie/whatever the kids are calling Charlie and Nate these days.
The Bitch Is Back: In case you missed this totally awesome news, Georgina Sparks will be making her return to the city...just in time for Blair's royal wedding. Michelle Trachtenberg tells us she's definitely part of the show's big 100th episode and that Georgina "can't help but be evil, even when she pretends to be good." We. Can't. Wait.
Gossip Girl Fights For Her Right to Gossip! Though she's remained relatively quiet on the subject of Diana trying to overthrow her Gossip empire, don't expect Gossip Girl to take this lying down. GG becomes a character more than ever this season when her relevance is jeapordized by Diana's expanding media empire. Kristen Bell, show your face already!
What did you think of tonight's episode, Gossip Girl fans? Are you still swooning over Chuck's apology? What do you think will happen to Dan now that the film is dead and the book is losing steam?
Sound off in the comments!

Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl: Troops Question Prisoner Swap2:11
The Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, Talibran prisoner swap, is unpopular among some U.S. soldiers who question the wisdom of a five-to-one exchange. A soldier who served along side him accuses Sgt. Bergdahl of "desertion". What do we know about Sgt. Bergdahl's disappearance, capture, and rescue? WSJ's Jason Bellini has #TheShortAnswer.
THE Taliban has released a video of the release of US Army POW Bowe Bergdahl after five years in captivity.
The footage was released after it emerged the US finally committed to trading five Taliban chiefs for the soldier amid mounting concern for his deteriorating health.
And in latest breaking news this morning, there are reports Bergdahl's hometown in Idaho has cancelled his homecoming celebration amid mounting political controversy over his release, with accusations he was a deserter or, worse, a traitor.
Sergeant Bergdahl is shown on the video being patted down for bombs or weapons and a plastic bag that contains his only possessions is tossed away by his rescuers. Then, after less than a minute on the ground, the helicopter to take him to safety lifts away again for an American base, and subtitles flash across the screen: "Don't come back to afghanistan [sic]"
The video starts with images of Guantanamo prison and the arrival in Qatar of five detainees who were exchanged for the American hostage.
"Next time, nobody will release you," one of the gun-toting militants is heard telling Bergdahl in the 17-minute video.
It shows a US military helicopter landing in a valley, kicking up small clouds of dust as a jittery-looking Bergdahl waits just a few feet away flanked by militants clutching a white flag.
After a brief exchange of handshakes between insurgents and US soldiers, Bergdahl moves unsteadily towards the helicopter.
A male voiceover in the video — laced with religious music and chants of "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest) — said the exchange occurred in the eastern Afghan province of Khost.
"The Americans contacted us and asked us where was a good place to meet. We contacted tribal elders to come and join us, because we do not trust them (Americans)," the voiceover said.
"I congratulate all the mujahideen for this victory." The authenticity of the video could not be independently verified by AFP. US defence officials have said dozens of US special forces troops backed up by helicopters were sent for the handover.
The latest footage from the Taliban comes after two secret videos showing a rapid slump in Sgt Bergdahl's health persuaded military and intelligence leaders to reluctantly support the prisoner swap, the Wall Street Journal reports.
A secret intelligence analysis, based on a comparison of Taliban videos of Sgt Bergdahl in captivity in 2011 and December 2013 provided to the US, found that the soldier's rate of deterioration was accelerating.
"To see him like that, we knew we had to move quickly," a senior US official told the newspaper.
BOWE BERGDAHL'S NOTE: I'm leaving to start a new life
LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF HOMELAND: The twist and the 'traitor'
The latest video, filmed in December and provided to US officials by Qatar mediators in January, has been kept secret — although officials who saw it described Sgt. Bergdahl's condition as "alarming."
The two videos did not give officials any precise estimate how much longer Sgt Bergdahl had to live with proper treatment.
But the clips did lead the intelligence agencies to spot several possible ailments to explain Sgt Bergdahl's deteriorating condition.
Officials with access to the analysis have declined to provide details about what those ailments were and what treatment Sgt Bergdahl is now receiving at a US military hospital in Germany.
MOVED ON: Bowe Bergdahl's girlfriend has a new lover
SOLDIERS WHO TURN ON THEIR OWN: From killers to whistleblowers
The issue has been a political hot potato for the Obama Administration, which reportedly expected the rescue of Bergdahl would largely be seen as a success and has been stunned by the backlash.
Sgt Bergdahl's rapid deterioration of health convinced key officials previously against any prisoner exchange, including Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
"Like others, DNI Clapper expressed concerns in 2012 about the prospect of releasing these five detainees" to Qatar, DNI spokesman Shawn Turner said of the Taliban exchange prisoners. "However, the circumstances have changed dramatically."
Turner said the intelligence agencies had "evidence that Sgt. Bergdahl's health was failing and that he was in desperate need of medical attention."
He added that Clapper also decided to support the exchange because of the planned drawdown of US forces wo have been fighting Taliban terrorists in Afghanistan, which meant fewer resources would have been available to locate Sgt. Bergdahl.
Likewise, Mr. Clapper was "satisfied with assurances from the Qatari government that these five individuals will be closely monitored and subject to travel restrictions," Turner said.
The decision to exchange Sgt Bergdahl, endorsed by Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel, has drawn a massive backlash.
Senator Dianne Feinstein, head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that Congress should have been consulted before Sgt. Bergdahl was exchanged for the Taliban detainees.
President Barack Obama, speaking in Warsaw, Poland, said questions about Sgt. Bergdahl's disappearance — which some soldiers said they believe amounted to treachery and desertion — will be answered.
"Regardless of the circumstances, whatever those circumstances may turn out to be, we still get an American soldier back if he's held in captivity," Mr. Obama said. "Period. Full stop. We don't condition that."
White House officials tried to appease angry lawmakers by offering a private briefing. Feinstein said she heard no evidence that Sgt Bergdahl was in immediate medical danger that made it necessary to act without consulting Congress.
"There certainly was time to pick up the phone and call and say 'I know you all had concerns about this, we consulted in the past, we want you to know we have reviewed these negotiations,'" she said, adding that a White House official called to apologise for not providing more notice to Congress.
House Speaker John Boehner in a statement said, "The administration has invited serious questions into how this exchange went down and the calculations the White House and relevant agencies made in moving forward without consulting Congress."
Possible deals to free Sgt Bergdahl had been made before.
Former Defenve Secretary Leon Panetta rejected a possible deal in early 2012, citing inadequate measures to ensure security over the transferred detainees.
Three things changed between the time Panetta rejected the arrangement and Hagel signed it — Sgt Bergdahl's health assessment, additional security assurances from Qatar, and the realisation that Sgt Bergdahl's value as a prisoner was declining as his health deteriorated and US troops pulled out of Afghanistan.
"We believe they saw Bergdahl as a golden egg. That is why they kept him alive and as healthy as possible. But as he deteriorated, some people believe he became more of a burden to them," the US official said. "And as the war was ending some of them [Taliban] came to doubt his value. He was more of a liability as his health declined."
In another measure to try to quell the growing furore among military enlisters and former service members over Sgt. Bergdahl's capture after leaving his base on June 30, 2009, the Army said it is launching a second review of the circumstances of Sgt Bergdahl's disappearance.
Its first inquiry, shortly after Sgt Bergdahl's capture, reportedly concluded he left the small outpost in eastern Afghanistan of his own accord.
At the time, then-Pfc. Bergdahl left the base with little more than water, a knife, a camera and a compass, according to people familiar with the Army investigation. He left behind his weapon and body armour.
The first review included accounts of soldiers who have questioned Sgt Bergdahl's intentions, but it drew no conclusions about why the young soldier left the base that night. "Nowhere in the report does it say 'deserter' or that he deserted," a military official said.
Secretary of the Army John McHugh said the military is glad Sgt Bergdahl is free but that investigators will take a closer look at the case.
"The warrior ethos is more than words, and we should never leave a comrade behind," Mr. McHugh said in a statement.
The Army plans to question Sgt Bergdahl about his disappearance "in a comprehensive, coordinated effort" that will determine whether or not to take any action against him.
General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in a Facebook post: "As for the circumstances of his capture, when he is able to provide them, we'll learn the facts."

Rutherford Says 2014 Senate Race Differs From Lincoln-Boozman In 2010
Skip Rutherford, dean of the Clinton School of Public Service and a long-time Arkansas politico, says he's not convinced that Arkansans are completely tuned in to the 2014 election cycle, including the high-profile U.S. Senate race.
"Most people aren't focused on the race yet. We're political groupies, we're political animals, but for the average Arkansan, this is a long time between now and November," Rutherford said on this week's Talk Business & Politics.
Rutherford, a former aide to Sen. David Pryor, said he sees the 2014 Senate match-up between incumbent Democrat Sen. Mark Pryor and Republican Cong. Tom Cotton as a much different environment than the 2010 cycle that pitted Democrat Blanche Lincoln against Republican John Boozman.
"I think unlike Lincoln-Boozman, in which that race was really about Blanche Lincoln, I think Cotton has got some pretty extreme votes that he's going to have to work on. I think it's going to be significant and I think he's going to be pounded on," Rutherford said.
He cited votes involving Medicare privatization, violence against women, student loans, the Farm Bill, and hurricane disaster relief as potential weapons for the Pryor campaign to use against Cotton. Talk Business & Politics host Roby Brock suggested that Cotton had already weathered early attack ads on several of those topics, yet Cotton still remains viable, if not in the lead, in early polling.
"I think Cotton has gotten himself into a position that probably has made his victory, or a chance of a victory, much tougher than it could have been," said Rutherford. "Boozman, on the other hand, against Blanche Lincoln – let Blanche Lincoln be the record. I think in this particular case, Cotton has made himself the record."
Another major factor in the Senate race will involve Pres. Barack Obama, who has been front-and-center in the last two election cycles in which the Arkansas GOP has made historic gains. Will Obama be the "X" factor in 2014?
"Obama is a factor in this race because clearly he's a very polarizing candidate, particularly in Arkansas," said Rutherford, who also noted that there are lingering wounds amongst some state Democrats over Obama's challenge of Hillary Clinton in 2008.
"This is not just the Republicans pounding on Obama, there's a lot of Democrats who never forgave Obama for challenging Hillary," he said.
Rutherford also explained how presidential papers are released through the Clinton Library – a controversial story from earlier in the week – and he highlighted two Republican legislators that he feels have a significant political future in Arkansas.

Kano, Nigeria (AFP) Feb 20, 2011
Troops in an area of Nigeria hit by repeated attacks blamed on Islamists have killed three gunmen in a shootout and uncovered a cache of weapons in separate incidents, the military said Sunday.
Both the shootout and the discovery of the weapons, which included rocket-propelled grenades and explosives, occurred Saturday in northeastern Nigeria, where the Islamist sect known as Boko Haram is based.
"Three gunmen driving towards Maiduguri from the border town of Gamboru Ngala opened fire on a military patrol team which responded and a shootout followed in which all the three gunmen were killed," Brigadier-General Tanko Yusuf Gaya said.
Three Kalashnikov rifles were found on the gunmen, Gaya said.
He declined to say whether the gunmen were members of Boko Haram, saying an investigation would determine their identity.
Separately, a tip-off from residents led soldiers to locate a cache of weapons in a car in a village near where the shootout occurred, Gaya said.
The weapons included a machine gun, rocket-propelled grenades, Kalashnikov rifles, explosives, hand grenades and a large quantity of ammunition, the army chief said.
"We are yet to ascertain the source of the weapons, their destination or what they were intended for," Gaya said, adding he believed they had been abandoned because the suspects wanted to avoid being arrested.
The sect launched an uprising in 2009 put down by a brutal military assault that left hundreds dead.
It has been blamed for a series of attacks and hit-and-run shootings in northern Nigeria in recent months that have left dozens dead.
Police say some of the killings may have been politically related ahead of April elections.
