...There was no place left to park the blame. The company backhandedly singled out a U.S. Partsmaker - CTS Corp., of Elkhart, Ind. - as the supplier of defective pedals while exonerating a Japanese company, Denso, that makes the same part.

The study also indicates that the sea level was changing rapidly around this time period, rising as much as 1 m the century before, as ice melted, and then falling afterward at around the same speed...

"I'm pretty much doing everything and anything I can to make it feel better," she says. "And so far, it seems to be working pretty well. It seems to be getting progressively better every day."
