#2 Into the battles, making cages rattle
There's a pain that's inside us and we're letting it out
Charge right in, we dare to fail
No one is giving in, always we live to win
A hunger turns and burns inside of all of us
And it will not be denied

Bulldozer feeds upon the weaker as they fall
Bulldozer crushes all


--Machine Head, "The Ballad of Rachel Corrie" "Israeli D-9 Fight Song" "Bulldozer"

#4 PEORIA, Ill. - The Board of Directors of Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) today voted to increase the quarterly cash dividend by five cents to thirty cents ($0.30) per share of common stock, payable August 19, 2006, to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 20, 2006. The $0.30 dividend is an increase of 20 percent over the previous rate of $0.25 per share.

"Caterpillar expects 2006 to be its third consecutive year of record results, and today's announcement reflects the Board of Directors' confidence in Caterpillar's long-term outlook," said Caterpillar Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jim Owens. "Our 6 Sigma process focus is enabling us to leverage our strong leadership position and grow our businesses while creating even greater operating cash flow. We're pleased to be able to reward our stockholders with another significant increase. Our future is bright, and all Caterpillar employees are focused on delivering even better results over the next few years." Including the announcement today, Caterpillar's cash dividend has tripled since 1996.


God I love the smell of diesel fuel and brick/mortar dust in the morning.
