Diesel prices fall 2.5 cents, reports EIA
November 14, 2013
The overall decline in diesel prices remains unchanged, with the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA) reporting this week that the average price per gallon of diesel fell 2.5 cents to $3.832.
According to EIA data, this represents the lowest average price per gallon for diesel since the week of July 1, when it came in at $3.817 per gallon.
Prices have dropped for three straight weeks, and this week followed declines of 1.3 cents and 1.6 cents, respectively, the previous two weeks. What's more, based on EIA data, the average price per gallon has not increased over the last ten weeks.
In its recent update of the short-term energy outlook, the EIA expects the average price of diesel for 2013 to be $3.96 per gallon, just ahead of 2012's $3.97. For 2014, it expects the average price to be 3.76 per gallon.
The general sentiment by industry observers in regards to declining gasoline prices is due largely to declining crude oil prices, with the average price of crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange at $93.37 on the New York Mercantile Exchange at press time.
Other factors include lukewarm consumer sentiment and strong momentum in domestic natural gas production, too.
And the International Energy Agency recently stated that the U.S. will pass Russia and Saudi Arabia as the world's top oil producer by 2015, coupled with being close to energy self-sufficient in the next two decades, as well as gains from shale formation output, too, according to a Bloomberg report. The report added that crude prices will head up to $128 per barrel by 2035.
Logistics Management oil and gas columnist Derik Andreoli recently observed that on the diesel side, oil production in the U.S. and Iraq continues to grow rapidly while emerging market demand will continue its lackluster performance.
Regardless of the fluctuation in diesel prices, shippers are cognizant of the impact diesel prices can have on their bottom line—for better or worse.
And they continue to be proactive on that front, too, by taking steps to reduce mileage and transit lengths when possible as well as cut down on empty miles. And even through shippers want to adjust budgets in order to offset the increased costs higher fuel prices bring, it is not always an easy thing to manage.

Thanks for all of the replies everyone. I think I will be getting a fletching jig and start fletching my own arrows with my own equipment (I have been borrowing a buddies jig). I think I'll still have someone cut the arrows for me until I get an arrow saw. Couple of questions again...
What type of fletchings does everyone use? I see one for blazers or feathers. I'm looking at either Blazers or fusion vanes (shorter style). I have shot blazers in the past with no issues, just wondering if there are any noticeable differences with blazers vs fusions.
Second, what does everyone use to square their arrows after being cut?
Last, right now I shoot 28.5" arrows with a 28.5 inch draw. The insert of my arrow goes to the end of my shelf with my broadhead sticking out past the shelf of the bow. I have been trying to decide if I should go to a shorter arrow and start cutting my arrows to 27.5 and add a 125 grain broadhead instead of a 100 grain broadhead. Thoughts?

Born on May 14, 1951 in Chicago, IL, Zemeckis was raised in a working-class Catholic family where he had little, if any, exposure to the arts. His only education was through television, which informed him via Jerry Lewis being interviewed by Johnny Carson that there was such a thing as film school. By the time he was a junior in high school, he was making 8mm films with his family's home movie camera. After spending his first two years of college at Northern Illinois University, Zemeckis transferred to the University of Southern California to earn his Bachelor of Fine Arts in film. It was while attending USC that he met kindred spirit and future screenwriting partner Bob Gale, who shared Zem... Continue Bio >>

Goldstein Helps USA To Gold At Maccabiah Games
AMES, Iowa – Emily Goldstein and the USA women's soccer team ended the 2013 Maccabiah Games with a 6-1 victory over the host country, Israel, in the championship match of the open division to claim gold.

|Yost finds purpose in Ecuador jungles
|Written by Darci Tomky
Many people have yet to find their purpose in life, but for 21-year-old Kaitlin Yost, her purpose is clear.
Missions in Ecuador, to be exact.
Three months in this South American country was a time of discovery that probably changed this young woman more than the people she traveled there to serve.
From Feb. 23-May 16, Yost was a missionary intern with AG World Missions in Sucúa, Ecuador. She and two other college-age girls teamed up with full-time missionaries Joil and Leah Marbut, who work with short-term jungle missionary interns during a couple sessions each year.
Jungle life wasn't new to Yost. She had traveled to Ecuador for a 10-day AG World Missions trip in March 2013 with her school, South Carolina School of Leadership, to build a church and host kids' programs in the dense jungle.
Since finishing school a year ago and staying in Columbia, S.C., Yost knew another trip to Ecuador was in her future. "The Lord really spoke on my heart that I was supposed to go back," she said, noting she loves the jungle and the people in that country. "I was made for it."
It was a humbling experience for Yost to be a part of something bigger than herself—getting the chance to sacrifice for God and let him change her heart.
She was reminded of the Bible verse when Jesus said, "Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it."
Kaitlin Yost, pictured second from right, interacts with some Ecuadorian children during ministry in a small jungle village. After a three-month internship in Ecuador, Yost embraced a passion for this South American country and has plans to return.
While in Sucúa, Yost built relationships with 23 girls ages 10-22 living in the Hope House. These girls were rescued from abusive situations in the Ecuador jungle because, as Yost explained, at age 10, girls are expected to either get married and have children or serve in what is basically slave labor. The Hope House is there to give them hope and an education.
Yost also did a variety of jobs, like helping out at church services or working with kids' churches in smaller villages in the interior of the jungle. She also worked at a medical clinic that served 2,000 people in one week.
She experienced much of Ecuador while in the country for three months, including a hike at 18,000 feet at the base of Chimborazo, both a glacier and volcano that, at over 20,000 feet, is the point on the Earth's surface that is the farthest from the Earth's center.
Now back in the U.S., Yost is making adjustments to the very different culture—like hot water and huge department stores.
She learned some Spanish while in Ecuador, so she wants to continue Spanish classes in South Carolina while also finishing some classes for her pastor credentials, which she began working toward during her biblical studies/leadership classes at South Carolina School of Leadership.
Ecuador is still on this young woman's heart, and the plan is to return there in one and a half or two years. Yost said she wants to serve as a missionary associate for a span of one or two years. Since the beginning, she has felt drawn to Ecuador, its people and the jungle life.
A 2011 homeschool graduate, Yost is the daughter of Brad and Kala Yost of Holyoke.

(USA Today) -- Amazon's evolution as a hardware maker picked up pace Thursday when it unveiled an array of Kindle tablets, some more sophisticated and some cheaper.
The Kindle Fire HD now has several versions, starting at $199, and there is a new lighted e-reader called Paperwhite.
The company's end goal remains getting customers to buy more content from its online stores even as it doubles down on its devices in hopes that customers consider them before buying an iPad or other highly anticipated competitors, such as Google's Nexus tablet.
At a press event in Santa Monica, Calif., CEO Jeff Bezos emphasized that the company's Kindle tablets - now made larger and faster than current models - will offer unique experiences even though they use the same Android operating system installed in competitors' products.
The company's new lineup likely will put pressure on Apple, which has loyal customers but whose relatively high prices have left an opening for rivals to get customers with cheaper but similar-enough alternatives.
Apple's iPads start at $499 each. The company is expected to introduce a smaller iPad at a time when customers are looking to buy devices with 7-inch screens priced at or below $200.
With Amazon's low-end tablets starting at $159 each, Bezos hinted that the devices aren't meant to be a profit driver, but rather a conduit for more sales of digital books, songs, games and videos offered online.
Amazon's library now contains 120,000 movies and TV episodes and 100,000 audiobooks. "We want to make money when people use our devices, not when they buy our devices, Bezos says.
New products and features Amazon announced Thursday:
• Kindle Fire HD. The highlight of the event, Kindle Fire HD is a new tablet model that will come in two sizes, have a clearer display and a faster processing speed for downloading digital content.
While designed to compete with iPad and other larger tablets, the new 8.9-inch display model - with 1,920 by 1,200 pixel resolution - will carry a $299 price tag, making it cheaper than many competitors. It'll take orders for the 8.9-inch model today, which will begin shipping Nov. 20.
The 7-inch model, with 16 gigabytes of storage, will be priced at $199. It'll ship starting Sept. 14.
The Fire HD will contain two speakers, an industry first. With the touch sensor on the display laminated, it'll have less glare for reading outdoors.
"We were happy last year to have the best tablet at a certain price. This year we want to have the best tablet at any price," Bezos says.
• Amazon experience. Several user-friendly features, unavailable in other Android tablets, were added to Kindle Fire HD, aimed at buying more content a seamless experience even when customers change or update devices.
Its "Whispersync" feature, which was used for downloading and syncing books, has been broadened to include audio and games. The feature allows you to read a book and pick it up in the audio format when driving to work the next day. The games played and interrupted can be picked up on another device.
The new x-ray feature for movies and books provides more in-depth information about authors, book characters and actors as users consume digital content. X-ray for textbooks is a glossary for additional learning material, including descriptions from Wikipedia.com.
Knowing kids are increasingly taking over their parents' tablets, Amazon is also introducing Kindle Free Time that will set a time limit for kids' usage. A new e-mail app will sync messages from Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo accounts.
For video gamers, Gold Box will provide links for buying affiliated physical toys on Amazon.
• Kindle Fire. Amazon is also updating its current Kindle Fire tablet by doubling its processing speed and lowering price. The company says it's 40% faster with a longer battery life. At $159, it's $40 cheaper. It'll ship Sept. 14. Introduced last year, Kindle Fire now makes up 22% of tablet sales in the U.S., Amazon says.
• Kindle Paperwhite. Aimed at bed-time readers, the new Kindle Paperwhite is an e-reader with backlit lighting spread throughout the entire display. With more pixels, the display will be clearer than its other e-readers, Bezos says.
With the light on, it has eight weeks of battery life. Priced at $119, it'll ship on Oct. 1. The 3G-model, which allows users to download content without a wi-fi connection, is priced at $179.
• Kindle Touch. Its entry-level e-reader will have its price cut to $69. But the product, which will ship on Sept. 14, will contain ads.
• New data plan. For customers who seek freedom to download content where and whenever they want, Amazon also introduced a data plan that will cost $50 year. But it only offers 250 megabytes per month, enough to check e-mail and download several books, as well as 20 GB of cloud storage.
Amazon also pushed its services for self-publishing authors. Its Kindle Direct Publishing, which allows writers to self-publish in hours for free, gives authors 70% of royalties. Of the top 100 paid Kindle books, 27 are Kindle Direct Publishing books.
Its new Kindle Serials will allow customers to read books in installments. After the initial purchase, customers will receive all future episodes. Amazon is reissuing Dickens Pickwick Club and Oliver Twist to kick off Kindle Serials.

Video: Customers, Employees Pepper Sprayed During Jewelry Store Armed Robbery
Video: Suspects Use Pepper Spray During Jewelery Store Armed Robbery
FREDERICK, Md. (WUSA) -- Frederick police and Arlington police are now working together after thieves robbed jewelry stores in both jurisdictions in two days.
On Monday, four people robbed the Zales store inside the Pentagon City Mall in Arlington, Va. on Monday. The store's surveillance footage captured four people walking into the jewelry store around 11 a.m. One suspect then pulled out a hammer and struck a reinforced glass jewelry case 20 times before it cracked open. The suspects then grabbed the jewelry and ran out.
"This is very bold behavior" said Dustin Sternbeck, a spokesman for Arlington County Police. "It was a crowded mall in broad daylight! This is something we haven't seen in Arlington for a while."
No one was hurt. Police say the suspects told the store's two employees to get out when they ran in. They are believed to have fled the scene in a red sedan after driving through the parking garage's mechanical gates.
The thieves got away with 27 rings worth around $128,000.
"They could be trying to peddle these rings for a profit," said Sternbeck. "Right now, we do not have any leads. We're asking for the public's assistance in identifying the individuals that we show in the surveillance video."
If you saw anything suspicious, call Arlington County Police at 703-558-2222.
In Frederick, Md. several employees and customers were peppered sprayed during an armed robbery on Tuesday afternoon, police said.
Frederick Police released surveillance video of three suspects entering Colonial Jewelers at 1 South Market Street at about 1:30 p.m. while customers were shopping.
The video shows one man entering the store displaying a gun and two others followed, one was holding a can of pepper spray.
The suspects ordered everyone to get down on the floor, broke a glass jewelry case, grabbed jewelry and fled the scene, police said.
Frederick Police said the men deployed pepper spray on their way out.
If you have any information about the robbery call 301-600-TIPS.

That's what I've got. And yes, I know this has been posted elsewhere and I am hardly the first to report it, but I thought it deserved it's own thread.
Here's his bio. Unfortunately, it's outdated and doesn't include his recent 2 seasons, which were very good.
Randall Bio - Boise State
According to who?
"These are my new shoes. They're good shoes. They won't make you rich like me, they won't make you rebound like me, they definitely won't make you handsome like me. They'll only make you have shoes like me. That's it." - Charles Barkley
If true thats AWESOME. This is who I had my eyes on if we couldn't get Brands.
If you are joshing with me I will hunt you down, lol.
spoons has been right so far.....
Carrying the banner for ISU.
Wow I wonder if hes ever wrestled...he doesnt have cauliflower ear at all!

That's ******* disgusting.

That would be a very good pick up if true! I'm excited if he is the answer for ISU
Would he be able to retain some of the wrestlers and recruits here and what are the possibilities of him bringing wrestlers and recruits from BSU
**** THAT! He is an Iowa alum, and I want nothing associated with the Hawkeyes anywhere close to ISU!

Obviously I would have preferred us not have had to find a new coach. Since Cael left, I would have put Koll #1, Randall #2, and Heskett #3. I think Randall is a solid hire. I don't know a ton about wrestling, but it's not like you've got 20 guys out there that are obviously great coaches. Iowa, Minnesota, Oklahoma State aren't going to lose head coaches to Iowa State so you look at guys that have had success in places that previously hadn't. Randall fits that role, and I think he'll keep us a top 5-7 program.
Another Iowan? I see a trend!

I hadn't thought of him being a ISU fan, but did remember his dad is a ISU alum.

Colette Clark, an artist and designer, developed a love of color and pattern early in her life. Growing up in a family of artists, she was inspired by the paintings and drawings of her father and grandmother. Yet Colette's studies began with music. She is a classically trained clarinetist and pianist. After graduation from Northwestern University, she began to concentrate on her visual art skills. She studied classical drawing techniques, costume design, and interior design. In 2005 she began working as an interior designer for a prominent San Francisco firm. This experience refined her design sensibilities and formed the beginning concepts for her unique wall coverings.
We're big fans of removable wallpaper — what better way to add fresh pattern to a room without committing to it forever? Although after seeing this line of wallpaper from Timothy Sue, we can't imagine not wanting it hanging around for a lifetime.
Colette Clark grew up inspired by the art of her father and grandmother - so when it came time to name her line of removable wallpaper she chose to honor them. And so Timothy Sue was born.
Designed and produced in San Francisco, Colette's beautiful designs are printed onto polyester fabric material with water-based latex ink. It's this water-based ink that gives the wallpaper an ethereal quality. The patterns are bold but the water color effect seems to calm them a bit, creating a perfect bridge between wild pattern and homey delight.
While we can't imagine wanting to remove this wallpaper after installing it, the fact that it's removable makes it a perfect option for renters.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Matt Kenseth was essentially stripped of his win at Kansas on Wednesday because his race-winning car failed inspection.
NASCAR found one of the eight connecting rods in the engine of the No. 20 Toyota used Sunday did not meet the minimum weight requirement once it was inspected at its Research & Development Center.
As punishment, Kenseth was stripped of 50 driver points in standings, as well as the three bonus points he earned for the win that would have been applied in seeding for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. His pole also was stripped.
Crew chief Jason Ratcliff was fined $200,000 and suspended six races.
Car owner Joe Gibbs also was suspended six races and will not earn any owner points during his suspension.
JGR plans to appeal.

It's prom season, and you know what that means: drunk (on life, obviously; they know they aren't old enough to drink legally) and dressed up teenagers in various borrowed, midlife-crisis convertibles driving around with the wind in their corsages until it's dark enough to park by the soccer field and sneak under the fence into the (deserted) University President's House park so they can
get pregnant kiss under the stars all romantic-like. Oh, yeah, and somewhere in there go to some lame dance the school is putting on so that they can take photos, and compare dresses and dates, and figure out who has the best stash of after-party booze Doritos.
Or, if you're less cynical and more romantic. It's prom season, and you know what that means: the perfect dress, loveliest shoes, most fragrant corsage, handsomest date, most delicious dinner, great dancing, best photos, most romantic afterparty, and a lifetime of "ohhh...Trey...you are sooo wonderful..." ever after.
I don't know about you, but in my experience, there is an awful lot of hype around prom that may or may not bear any actual relationship to the evening itself.
But proms sure tend to leave in their wake (in addition to the mascara covered, sobbing popular chick) a giant pile of fabulous stories...once you get old enough to see the humor in teenage "tragedy."
So, I'm proposing a little prom retrospective -- complete with side ponytails, and fluffy dresses, and blue eyeshadow, and all manner of fabulousness. Dig out the old photos, reminisce, tell the truth about what really happened that night (not the version you told your mom, but the version you told your best friend). Take the next week to think about it, and then on Tuesday, June 3, in honor of all that is lithe and lovely, or too dumb to know better, post your story for the rest of us.
Feel free to grab the button for your post. And be sure to tell all your friends it's prom season again! Then come back on June 3 (that's next Tuesday), and add yourself to the Mr. Linky you'll find here. And read everyone else's True Prom Story. You know you want to. All the cool kids are going to do it.

In Canada, we don't have prom, we have grad. I didn't have a boyfriend at the time so planned to go stag with some friends. My mom was so mortified that she found me a blind date. One who ws 6'6 and stared down my low-cut dress the whole night.
Ahhhh, memories....

In England, we didn't have proms... or graduation.... and having heard the stories from friends, I think I'm quite relieved! Being a teenager is quite mortifying enough, without further ritual humilaitions!

Bwahahahahah! Mrs F. "ritual humiliations" so totally describes at least one of my prom experiences! You are a wordsmithing genius. Please start your blog today!! Pretty please. (email me if you want any help at all setting it up, truly)
Amber, *snort* nice blind date.
OhMommy -- surely there must be a classy dress and anecdote in your past?!
Latte and Mr Lady -- PLEASE do photos too... and, really, Mr Lady, my prom was even longer ago than yours, and I can remember...

Dear Mommytime - you are so sweet - but as I mentioned, I am utterly overawed by all the great blogs out there (this, naturally, being the best...). And next time, I'll check for spelling errors before I post.

We are STILL recovering 'round these parts from my daughter's senior prom, last Saturday.
I don't even know how many girls ended up here beforehand to get ready, but it's going to take me a month of Sunday's to get all the residue from hair sprays and other assorted beauty supplies wiped off the walls and ceilings (she has some VERY tall friends!).
And because I am such a mean mom, I made her come straight home after prom, where we had a HUGE slumber party...yes co-ed. I'd rather have had the two boys who showed up amongst the fourteen girls than deal with sitting up, a huge ball of nerves and angst.
As far as the two proms I went to....good grief I don't know if I can recall that far back. I seem to remember loads of tulle - enough to make a bride envious - so much so that it was more like I was wearing a pink cloud, than a prom dress... I'll have to ask my mom if she still has the photos. If not, I'll have her take a picture of the much coveted "prom quilt." Yep, she took both of those bad boys, from my junior and senior proms made a huge quilt.
This is a wonderful idea!

Gawd, I would have the LAMEST prom story ever. I had a religious boyfriend so there wasn't any getting pregnant on the football field goin on.
I don't remember anything! It must've sucked, because it was only 12 years ago, and you'd think I'd be able to remember what happened 12 years ago. Although I don't remember yesterday, either.

I thought that when she graduated from high school last fall, my college kid (freshman) would be done with prom. But her BF is a year younger and she attended his last month. I really don't remember much about mine, other than I went.

I so wish I had at least 1 excellent prom story... maybe I can make one up for the event. The real proms were far less interresting than they were billed to be.
Now, if we can include college "events"... we can get into something gossip-worthy.

I am STILL trying hard to forget my prom. My football player date thought that a prom invitation = a guaranteed night of teenage sex. I was not of the same opinion. I settled the argument by getting so drunk that I vomited EVERYWHERE. Effective, but embarassing.

OK, so for my junior prom at 16 I became a legend of my school. Somehow I had this "hottie at the time" waitress I worked with with a little crush on me. At 16, I matched the crush as any attention of an older woman is a crush. So she was 26 years of age and along with cocktailing at my place she was also a hooter's girl. At night she also frequently won bikini contests at local clubs. Eventually I heard she became a stripper but not until long after my prom. I asked her as a joke but she said yes, so I continued and took this 26 year old babe to my junior high school prom. What you can't see is my teachers giving me thumbs up all night, my PE coach pleading for her phone number the next day, the DJ recognizing her from last weeks bikini contest, and of course, my parents babysitting her 3 year old daughter at my house while we attended the dance and all night post-prom party at the Days Inn. Yup, my Dad even rented the room as I was not 18 yet. I was actually the youngest at my prom party that spanned 2 joined rooms, lots of co-workers, a few school buddies, a bathtub full of beer, and my date who changed into a skimpier dress than what she wore to the dance. Enjoy the pic and know this is a true story!

29 June 2010
UN-REDD Programme Regional Coordinator in Asia-Pacific, Tim Boyle, and West-Central Africa Regional Technical Advisor, Josep Garí, explain how the UN-REDD Programme is developing effective support to new partner countries, building on the activities underway in the Programme's nine initial pilot countries across Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
The UN-REDD Programme was launched with international finance to support REDD+ readiness in nine pilot countries. In order to respond to the high interest expressed by a number of REDD countries, the Programme created an option to welcome new countries as partners. Since October 2009, 13 new partner countries have joined the Programme–and more have formally expressed interest. These new partner countries enjoy observer status on the UN-REDD Policy Board, receive technical assistance, and have access to various activities, information and networks under the UN-REDD Programme.
Even if they are not receiving large-scale funding support from the Programme (or other multilateral or bilateral initiatives), these new partner countries are truly interested in, and ready for the UN-REDD Programme's support to advance in their REDD+ readiness. To respond to this interest, the Programme is taking alternative and concrete steps. These include sharing practical knowledge and lessons learned between UN-REDD pilot countries and UN-REDD partner countries, identifying existing national activities that can serve to advance their REDD+ readiness, as well as helping to identify sources of funding.
Options for technical and operational support
The UN-REDD Programme is exploring and implementing various options to provide technical and operational support to REDD+ readiness when lack of financing impeded a full REDD+ readiness processes at the national level. Some of these options build on existing development activities, while others are rather low-cost. They all allow countries to start working on REDD+, even if partially, so when full REDD+ readiness financing becomes available, a REDD+ readiness process can speed up as some foundations will have been developed.
A number of missions from the UN-REDD Programme have already been conducted in new partner countries that requested them, including Cambodia, the Solomon Islands, and the Philippines. These missions have served to share practical knowledge about REDD+ readiness, to identify opportunities to support low-cost interventions that allow some progress towards REDD+ readiness (while awaiting full financing), to advise on basic institutional, coordination and participatory mechanisms for REDD+, or to fuel multi-stakeholder dialogue.
In addition, new partner countries can benefit from activities already undertaken (and thus tested) in pilot countries, thanks to their easy access to knowledge and their inclusion in UN-REDD activities and networks. For example, Viet Nam- a pilot country- conducted a detailed analysis of the requirements for a REDD+ compliant benefit distribution system, identifying 17 policy issues. While the proposed solutions are country-specific, the inventory of these issues is very useful to most other countries; they may not need to repeat the exercise, but perhaps just validate and adapt it. Similarly, the lessons learned in the Democratic Republic of Congo- another pilot country- on REDD+ coordination and multi-stakeholder dialogue mechanisms have been shared fruitfully with initial REDD readiness work in Nigeria, a new partner country. Similarly REDD+ stakeholders from the DRC and the Republic of Congo (another new partner country) have met, thanks in part to their geographic proximity, to share lessons and issues, and build a cross-border community of practice on REDD+.
Even in countries with few explicit REDD+ readiness activities, a careful assessment usually allows them to identify a number of programmes, projects and initiatives that, if duly refocused or simply conducted under a REDD+ premise, can already contribute to REDD+ readiness needs. For example, many countries have projects aimed at strengthening the forest inventory process. Although they were originally designed without considering REDD+, they can easily be modified to ensure they generate vital information on biomass and carbon, to be later used in REDD+ readiness. The UN-REDD Programme is exploring these opportunities in a number of partner countries.
Although some interventions described above are low-cost, few are no-cost. However seed funding can help launch initial REDD+ readiness work. Nigeria for example has started an original two-fold REDD+ readiness process, focusing at the national level and in Cross River State. Catalytic funding from UNDP, coupled with UN-REDD expert advice, are enabling REDD+ in Nigeria, which includes initial stakeholder awareness, training and dialogue activities; setting up technical task forces on REDD+ at the national level and in states interested in REDD+, conducting a preliminary assessment on the REDD+ context in Nigeria to guide future action, UN-REDD support missions, and elaborating and realizing a REDD+ roadmap to move REDD+ readiness forward once financing is available.
In Cambodia, a UN-REDD Programme partner country, the REDD+ process has started with the establishment of a broad-based, multi-stakeholder national REDD+ Working Group, whose major task is to prepare a REDD+ readiness roadmap. This initial strategy, based on building coordination and guidance mechanisms, offers many benefits and synergies: the national REDD+ Working Group builds broad ownership of the REDD+ readiness process, whereas the roadmap clarifies the interventions required and serves to make the process seem less daunting. UNDP and FAO country offices have committed to providing over US$1 million for REDD+ readiness activities in Cambodia under the UN-REDD Programme over the next couple of years.
Finally, each UN-REDD agency possesses areas of expertise that are available to the partner countries. FAO's expertise in the area of Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) is useful to support initial discussions on the development of national or regional MRV systems. UNDP's experience in governance and its multifaceted dimensions (ie/democracy, state reform, participation, transparency, consensus-building, rights-based approaches to development) is valuable in delicate REDD+ readiness matters such as multi-stakeholder dialogue, establishing systems to secure free prior informed consent, and the design of benefits distribution mechanisms for carbon. UNEP's competencies can help countries with issues related to environmental risk management and environmental standards, REDD+ co-benefits, and environmental policy and awareness-raising.
In addition to joining a UN-REDD community of practice, new partner countries therefore benefit from the strategic policy advice provided by regional teams, as well as key inputs on the initial steps they can make to catalyse national readiness processes, even if they are not receiving large-scale funding support from a multilateral or bilateral initiative.
Tim Boyle is the REDD Regional Coordinator for the UN-REDD Programme in Asia and the Pacific and is based in the UNDP Regional Centre in Bangkok, Thailand
Josep Garí is the REDD Regional Technical Advisor for the UN-REDD Programme in West/Central Africa and is based in the UNDP Regional Centre in Dakar, Senegal.

1965 Pontiac Tempest - Ten WeeksWritten by on April 1, 2010 Contributors: Robert McGaffin This '65 Pontiac Went From Unwanted To Unbelievable
Some people spend a lifetime building a cool car. Sometimes, they start with a vision and keep at it until the vision sparks to life and rolls out of the garage. Often, there isn't a vision; just a meandering through time and parts as the car comes together. All too often, the vision for the car changes every few years, prolonging the buildup as parts are sold off to purchase new ones and the car changes from street machine to Pro Street to super street to Pro Touring. The example of Grant Craft's 1965 Pontiac Tempest couldn't be farther from this last example. A mere 10 weeks passed between desire to have a car like this built, and driving the vision down the road. It took creativity, cunning, and care from engine builder, chassis fabricator, and car builder Jeff Schwartz of Schwartz Performance. But this was more than a random phone call to a car builder and a check.
Grant and Jeff first met in 2005. Both owned Ultima GT-R kit cars. Before you think cheesy side pipes and ill-fitting fiberglass panels, know that the Ultima is a supercar built on a space frame that can handle up to 1,000 hp, all in a car that weighs less than 2,200 pounds. Got your attention? One of these cars spanked the Ferrari Enzo's lap times on tracks in Europe. A few years ago, Grant called on Jeff to build an LS2 for his Ultima. Jeff had a reputation for building killer engines that start with the initials "LS," and he delivered a Magnacharged, 660hp winner to Grant. The next year, he invited Grant to do Hot Rod magazine's Power Tour with him in his Ultima. Doing an event like Power Tour together is intense. You're pretty much together every hour of the day. Grant and Jeff learned that they had a common appreciation for performance cars, and they shared a good number of opinions and ideas about how cars should be built.
Fast-forward to the spring of 2009. Grant was approaching his 40th birthday and wanted to do something cool. Grant was raised in Australia, but has lived in Hong Kong for the past 15 years. Since moving away from Australia, he hadn't been able to see his brother, Duncan, as much as he would have liked. Power Tour that year was scheduled pretty close to his birthday. He hatched a plan to find a car to do the tour in, and he and his brother would fly stateside to do the event. He called Jeff to see if he had any projects laying around that he could takeover. As it turned out, Jeff had a Pontiac Tempest that he couldn't hawk on eBay. The car was a parts car for another customer's project. Jeff suggested that they could toss one of his chassis under the car, an LS engine in it, and do something quick with the body. This was a mere 10 weeks before the Power Tour was set to begin, so there wasn't a lot of time. The two exchanged emails and phone calls for a couple of weeks to hash out the details. Once an agreement was reached, the countdown began. The body was dropped off at Imperial Blasting the next day and the project was officially kicked off.
The motif was dictated by the tight time frame. There just wasn't time to do show-quality bodywork and paint. But how do you convert a parts car to a cool car? Grant's father was always into vintage cars. As kids, he and his brother were often watching their dad and his buddies thrash their old stuff around the track. His favorite class was pre-'65 touring cars, so it was decided that this car would take on a road race/NASCAR flair. Something a little edgy, a little rough, and with a very purpose-built look.
The body was mostly straightened, but it didn't need to be perfect. Things like holes for missing trim were left. The glass was flush-mounted, and most of the glass is actually Lexan. The car was shot in PPG DP90 satin black epoxy primer. Fiberglass front and rear bumpers were fitted to continue the spray-bomb appearance of the car. The finishing touches on the exterior came in the form of die-cut vinyl lettering that mimic race car sponsorship decals, but maintain a uniform look to this pseudo racer. An era-correct "389 cu.in." was applied to both sides of the hood, and a large number 65 on the doors. The finishing touch was a logo for the car, designed by Wally Goto in the likeness of nose art found on World War II planes. The car was developing a sinister look that was a bit seductive, so Goto created a Temptress. A voluptuous Cougar with devil's horns, pitchfork and tail, complete with the Pontiac arrowhead as a tip.
The interior called for the same Spartan approach. Window nets were hung while the door panels were abandoned. The factory dash was left with a smattering of the original switches. Race car equipment included the addition of a full cage, racing seats, and Simpson harnesses. A full rack of Auto Meter Pro Comp Ultra-Lite gauges was installed in a stainless panel with a turned look to it, playing off a Pontiac design cue. Jeff's crew applied bedliner to the floor for a tiny bit of sound deadening (and painted metal would have scratched anyway).
To deliver the kind of performance that the looks promised, the car uses a combination of Schwartz Muscleup chassis. The chassis features mandrel-bent rails, and custom front and rear suspension. The chassis is 200 percent stiffer than the original frame, and is capable of delivering over 1 g of lateral handling. The front suspension features a custom A-arm upper, and single-tube lower control arm. This car uses Bilstein adjustable coilover shocks, but the chassis also fits Ride Tech ShockWaves. The chassis also mounts rack-and-pinion steering and integrated sway bar. The rear suspension is a four-link with a sway bar. The Pontiac uses a Dana 60 with 3.55 gears and a posi.
With the upgraded chassis and a mini-tub job for the rear, the GM A-body can sit on 275/35ZR18 BFGoodrich g-force T/A KDW tires in the front and 335/30ZR18s in the rear. The tires are mounted on XXR wheels, 18x9.5 up front and 18x13 in the rear. That's some serious meat, and exactly what would be needed to lay down some serious times on the road course.
Grant and Duncan arrived on June 2, 2009 to help Jeff's team at Schwartz Performance wrap up the car. It took nearly five sleepless nights to get the car finished, but June 6 found the trio in Racine, Wisconsin, for the start of the event.
While that sounds like the end of the story, it was really just the beginning. For Power Tour, Jeff had just dropped in an LS3 engine. Shortly after the event, he built an LS9 engine. Well, it was mostly LS9. Jeff bored an LS9 block and assembled a reciprocating assembly made of Wiseco pistons, K1 rods, and a forged LS9 crank. The heads were massaged, and an LS7 cam was selected to activate the valves. An LS3 intake manifold was used, along with a 90mm drive-by-wire throttle body. Jeff created a custom wiring harness and used a Corvette ECU. The engine is backed up by a Tremec TKO 600 five-speed transmission rated to take more than 600 lb-ft of torque. The combo smokes down the quarter-mile at 12.36 at 117 mph, but can also cruise at more than 20 mpg on the highway.
In less than six months after completion, the car won more than its share of trophies and awards, including taking top honors in the muscle car class at Car Craft magazine's Real Street Eliminator. It's also participated in Pro-Touring.com's Run Through the Hills and Motor State Challenge. The race-inspired motif that was driven by a short time frame actually turned into a visual statement that matches the car's DNA and stands apart from all of the show cars. That was 10 weeks of effort well invested.

Most of the glass in the Tempest is actually Lexan. The windshield and rear window have been mounted flush. In addition to the door glass, Jeff hung a pair of window nets in their place-stylish and functional.Jeff Schwartz has built an amazing number of LS engines. This one uses an LS9 block, crank, and heads, and the camshaft and intake from an LS3. Wiseco pistons bring the compression up to 11:1 to produce 501 hp at 5,300 rpm and 450 lb-ft of torque at 5,100 rpm.Tires with a 275mm tread width are common for the rear of GM A-bodies, but the chassis under Grant's Tempest fits P275/35ZR18s under the front. The XXR wheels are lightweight and modern in design, but still fit with the vintage road racer look.The turned stainless steel gauge insert is the one mod strictly for style in the interior. Everything else is purely functional, from the bedliner floor covering, to the five-point harnesses. The cool limb (leaning forward off the shifter) is a bracket that holds the nitrous button. This position makes it possible for Grant to hit the squeeze with his thumb between gearshifts.A race car cue that is quite functional is the deletion of the high-beam headlights. Grilles were made to cover the openings, letting fresh air into the engine bay. The air inlet is mounted just behind the opening on the passenger side to grab cool air.The Tempest rides on the latest version of a Schwartz Muscleup chassis. This bolt-on chassis replaces the factory frame and suspension system. In addition to extreme handling capability with a comfortable on-road ride, the chassis makes things like mounting modern engines, transmissions, and decent exhaust a breeze.

Ioptron SmartEQ Pro
Posted 24 February 2013 - 12:40 PM
Posted 24 February 2013 - 02:05 PM
For imaging, I can do 4 minutes unguided with a 60mm ota and a mini50/SSAG and camera.
The mount will do well up to about 8-9 pounds of load.
It will backpack very well, the mount connected to the collapsed tripod fits in a 37" Hakuba tripod bag with all the accessories and the bag has a nice shoulder strap for carrying. The bag also has inside and outside pockets to stow your eyepieces and miscellaneous gear. Complete weight, about 12-15 lbs with counterweight.
Hope the info helps.
Posted 24 February 2013 - 02:11 PM
Unfortunately, it seems that there are relatively few of the SmartEQ Pros in the hands of users, and the ones that are out there have some mixed reviews.
The reviews are mixed because some users expect Paramount quality in a $499 mount. Not going to happen.
What the Smart EQ does deliver is an extremely light weight platform for visual and imaging with payloads up to 10-11 lbs.
In the hands of a user with a little experience, the mount delivers 20 minute exposures, autoguided, with perfect stars and will go to 30 minutes or more if needed. I personally know owners of very expensive mounts ($3000-6000) that can't go that long.
For what it's worth....

Thanks for the reply Paul. How do you think the EQ Pro will perform with a C6 on its back? Do you think this combination is pushing it or would I be better off with the c5 (6lbs vs 10lbs) Oviously, the c5 is lighter and would probably work better, bt I really see a c6 in the future and would love to put it on this mount. How limited will I be with AP if I am pushing up aainst the 11 lb spec? And is the 11lb limit more about the limits of the tripod, or the limits of the head?
Definitely the C5 if astroimaging is in your plans. If not, for visual, a C6 will work fine although you will be close to the mount's payload limit.
And, for AP..a nice 80mm or 90mm wide field refractor would
give you some great images of DSOs due to the increased FOV and reduced focal length. If you used a focal reducer on a small SCT, you could probably do well with that.
If the weather ever clears for more than an hour or two a night once a week...I'll try some 80 and 90mm guided images on the SmartEQ Pro, just to see how it handles...
Clear skies,

Spent some time with it Saturday night at the local SJAA star party, but really had a treat tonight when I was able to quickly set up after work and get a nice glimpse of Panstarrs
That's what I like about the mount Craig..it's just so easy to setup and use at a moment's notice. Because of that, it's a great 'cloud hopper' mount when you only get an half hour or so of clear sky.
Glad Astronomics got you sorted out quickly so you could enjoy the SmartEQ Pro.

The jury in Vanessa Coleman's retrial has now heard from the first witness to place her in the Chipman St. house the weekend that Channon Christian was murdered. Up until Wednesday afternoon, much of the evidence that prosecutors have presented has not established that Coleman aided in Christian's killing; it's laying the ground work for evidence still to come.
Wednesday afternoon, more forensics experts took the stand to explain evidence they collected in the murders of Christian, and her boyfriend Chris Newsom. The state then called several people who knew or who had met some of the suspects the murders, including Lamaricus Davidson, Letalvis Cobbins, George Thomas, and Coleman.
One of those witnesses was Davidson's former girlfriend, Daphne Sutton. She told the court she went to the Chipman St. house on Sunday January 7, 2007 to get some of her stuff. She said Davidson gave her a plastic shopping bag full of clothes. Police later identified those as belonging to Christian. Sutton also said Davidson forcibly blocked her from going in the bathroom of the house, which she thought was strange.
"Was the door leading to the bathroom, was it open or closed?" asked Knox Co. Assistant District Attorney TaKisha Fitzgerald.
"St was closed," said Sutton.
"Did you hear anything in the bathroom?" asked Fitzgerald.
"I heard somebody in there. I didn't hear any voices or anything. Just somebody in the bathroom," said Sutton.
"And when you say you could hear somebody in the bathroom, what is it that you could you hear?" asked Fitzgerald.
"Objects moving around. Somebody was in there," said Sutton.
During defense cross examination Sutton told Coleman's attorney Ted Lavit that she never heard any screams nor did she hear water running in the bathroom.
When asked about Coleman's presence at the house that weekend, Sutton said she did not see Coleman on Sunday, but she did see her two days before on Friday. Sutton also said she had met Coleman at the house before that weekend.
Sutton talked about Davidson's history of domestic violence towards her. Davidson was previously found guilty of both Christian and Newsom's murders, and received the death penalty as a result. So, Sutton's testimony shows that she knew Coleman, but she's not sure if Coleman was in the bathroom, or the house, when she visited on Sunday.
Testimony on Wednesday ended at 6:30pm, with a woman who bought drugs from Davidson and transported him, and other friends, including Coleman between Knoxville and Kentucky.
So far, the jury heard 18 witnesses on Wednesday, bringing the total since the trial started on Tuesday morning to 33. Judge Jon Kerry Blackwood has said he expects the trial to last through at least the end of the week.
One other note: a member of the jury has fallen asleep during the afternoon sessions of court for the past two days. Judge Blackwood has spoken with attorneys in side bar conversations about it. There are four alternates who could be tapped tapped to step up if need be.
Day 2: Morning testimony
It's day two of the controversial retrial for Vanessa Coleman. It has been an emotional few hours of testimony, especially for Channon Christian's family. One thing to note: Prosecutors still have not presented any evidence that shows Coleman facilitated Christian's murder.They are still establishing that Christian, and her boyfriend, Chris Newsom, were murdered in January 2007.
Coleman is facing retrial for her role in Christian's murder. She only faces charges related to "facilitating" that crime. A jury acquitted Coleman of crimes against Newsom in 2010; she cannot be retried because of Tennessee's double-jeopardy law.
Several witnesses took the stand Wednesday morning including family members of Christian and Newsom.
Coleman entered the court room, escorted by deputies, a few minutes after 9 a. m. Her demeanor was much different than it was on Tuesday. She walked in looking at the ground, but smiled at her parents seated behind her. On Tuesday, Coleman showed no emotion all day long.
Two Knoxville Police Department officers, who processed crime scene evidence for the Christian and Newsom murders, took the stand first. Their testimony followed testimony from more than a dozen expert witnesses on Tuesday. The officers identified evidence, including fingerprints from Lemaricus Davidson that were found on the trash bags Christian's body was wrapped in inside the Chipman St. house, and the trash can she was put inside, as an autopsy showed, before she died.
Even though it's been almost six years since Christian and Newsom's murders, seeing evidence related to the crimes on Wednesday was extremely tough for the couple's family and friends. Christian's dad, Gary's eyes filled with tears as he watched witnesses pull evidence, some of it belonging to his daughter, out of evidence bags.
So far, the Newsom and Christian families have watched Coleman's retrial from the gallery, but late Wednesday morning some were called to the stand.
Chris Newsom's mom, Mary, was up first. Prosecutors asked her to identify some of Chris's belongings and talk about the last day she saw him.
Deena Christian, Channon's mom, followed Mrs. Newsom. Mrs. Christian answered similar questions about Channon, and was asked about her reaction to the day she learned Channon had been killed.
"My daughter's dead. What do you do. We just sat around in disbelief, almost passed out. We went home, I guess. The last few days after that, I don't really remember. We just went through the motions. We had to bury our daughter," Mrs. Christian testified.
Wednesday's morning session concluded with another TBI forensics experts, and two employees from banks to which Christian and Newsom belonged.
As far as where prosecutors are headed with their case against Coleman, Monday, in opening statements Knox County Assistant District Attorney TaKisha Fitzgerald talked about a white cloth found in Christian's purse that forensics investigators also determined contained Vanessa Coleman's DNA. That could be introduced Wednesday afternoon, but it has not been admitted as of the noon lunch break.
Prosecutors have introduced several photos of Channon's belongings that police found in the possession of the suspects, including Vanessa Coleman. Deena Christian identified some of the belongings police found in Coleman's purse as Channon's lotion, perfume, and Channon's wallet. Inside the wallet, Coleman had switched Channon's photos and receipts for her own. The contents of Channon's wallet were later found during the investigation. Deena also identified an overnight bag, and some other clothes as Channon's. Prosecutors did not specify if those items had been found in Coleman's possession.
Since the trial began on Tuesday morning, 22 witnesses have taken the stand.
Judge Jon Kerry Blackwood has told the jury, a group of 16 chosen from Jackson in West Tennessee, that he expects the trial to last a week. The jury is sequestered in Knoxville for duration of the trial.
Previous story
Testimony is set to begin Wednesday morning on the second day of the Vanessa Coleman retrial.
In 2010, a jury found Coleman guilty of "facilitating" crimes against Channon Christian.
Vanessa Coleman is being retried for her role in the murder of Christian after the judge who presided over her initial trial in 2010 plead guilty to "official misconduct" during that time and has since resigned from the bench.
The parents of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom were in the courtroom. They have said they will be there for everyday of the retrial.
Wednesday is expected to be a longer day of testimony than Day 1.
We will be streaming the retrial on wbir.com. For updates, follow 10News' Hillary Lake on twitter at @HillaryLake.

Vijay Ramnath
Hi!! I am Vijay (Nick:Vj) and I am a Masters Student majoring in Health Systems beginning from this Fall 07. I hail from the charming city of Chennai erstwhile Madras in India and contrary to all expectation I am not a cousin of the Golfer Vijay Singh.
Apart from from my academic interests, I love music and I see a lot of movies/drama. I am a great fan of the British actor Rowan Atkinson and I am proud to say that I have seen all of his movies. I love taking photographs. I want to dance and I am looking forward to learn Salsa soon in this Fall break. I learned to play flute long time back but again I am completely out of touch so no live performances please ;-).
Coming to sports, though I am not a master of any, I desperately want to learn swimming. Unfortunately I have realized after repeated attempts that my body is structurally and physically incapable of floating - probably my mech friends could do their projects on this. I play table tennis and cricket rarely when I am bored with assignments.
For any comments/critique you can reach me @ vijayramnath [at] gmail [dot] com

Parents can register any child, ages 3-18, for the Rainbow Project by signing them up for any of the SOG kids classes (http://bit.ly/sogkids) with a COLOR in the title. Each fused glass workshop focuses on a color, and students are asked to consider the color both literally and metaphorically. Brazee Street Studios is hosting two family-friendly opening night receptions on June 14 and July 12, 2013 from 6pm to 9pm and will include kid-friendly arts activities. All glass pieces on exhibit will be sold for $10 each, on a first come, first served basis.SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Children's Rainbow Project PRIORITY:3END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
