Responds to Senate's comcerns that further consolidation in the military-aircraft industry, which has dropped from 11 prime contractors in 1960 to the current three, dwill pose risks to innovation and cost through limited or no competition in contracting for military aircraft and related weapon systems for the Department of Denfense.

Growing up in Bay City Oregon is a coming-of-age historical memoir that takes place in the years between 1936 and 1953. Gordon Lee's family leaves their life behind in Nebraska to move cross country to Oregon when he is still only a small child. His father, in search of a war effort job, finds work with Kaiser Shipyard on Swan Island in Portland, Oregon where Lee attended Woodstock School. But after the war was over his father found himself out of a job, so he goes in search of one and finds it at Buel's Hardware in Tillamook, which paid $1.52 per hour, and rented the family a two-bedroom cabin to live in beside the Barview store in Barview, Oregon, along the coast. All the while, the family is just barely scraping by, so Lee sets off on an enterprising journey to make his own money from a young age, devising several moneymaking ventures just to be able to afford the basics of a real childhood. Along the way he has several adventures that some could only dream about. 
In his memoir, Lee gives historical accounts of what it was like during that period of his life, as well as descriptions of places long since come and gone. He recreates the world he grew up in for those of us who will never be able to experience the same place, firsthand. 
Gordon Lee's personal narrative of his earliest memories is honest and candid. His memoir starts at birth and chronicles his life growing up in Tillamook County, Oregon until he joins the marines after high school. Growing Up In Bay City Oregon: A Memoir 1936-1953 is accompanied by extensive back matter, including: Lee's occupations after growing up in Bay City, a recap of all of his moneymaking ventures he takes the reader on over the course of the book, Lee's literary background, more upcoming books by Lee in the works, a section with vignettes from Lee's life after Bay City, Lee's memorable life experiences, and a section describing the processes for peeling cascara bark and picking fox glove, both of which Lee did to earn money. There is also an acknowledgements section at the back of his memoir of people who supported its creation. 
Book includes 63 black & white images.

Modelling, Pricing, and Hedging Counterparty Credit Exposure: A Technical Guide (Springer Finance)

It was the end of 2005 when our employer, a major European Investment Bank, gave our team the mandate to compute in an accurate way the counterparty credit exposure arising from exotic derivatives traded by the ?rm. As often happens, - posure of products such as, for example, exotic interest-rate, or credit derivatives were modelled under conservative assumptions and credit of?cers were struggling to assess the real risk. We started with a few models written on spreadsheets, t- lored to very speci?c instruments, and soon it became clear that a more systematic approach was needed. So we wrote some tools that could be used for some classes of relatively simple products. A couple of years later we are now in the process of building a system that will be used to trade and hedge counterparty credit ex- sure in an accurate way, for all types of derivative products in all asset classes. We had to overcome problems ranging from modelling in a consistent manner different products booked in different systems and building the appropriate architecture that would allow the computation and pricing of credit exposure for all types of pr- ucts, to ?nding the appropriate management structure across Business, Risk, and IT divisions of the ?rm. In this book we describe some of our experience in modelling counterparty credit exposure, computing credit valuation adjustments, determining appropriate hedges, and building a reliable system.
