Popular Mechanics Aptera Test Drive
Contributing Monkie G Monkie
Published on January 27, 2008
Filed Under Alternative Vehicles, G Living Tags Electric Vehicle
The car of the future finally rolled out at this year's TED conference, and wow, it looks like the future has arrived. For those of us who are looking to decrease our dependence on foreign oil and lower our carbon footprints, the Aptera may likely become our new standard. It was launched from the business incubator Idealab and has received quite a bit of attention due to its fuel efficiency, affordability, and design.
Popular Mechanics takes the new Aptera's Super-MPG Electric Typ-1 e for a test drive. Plus a detail look at the making of the incredible vehicle.
The Aptera concept car (actually it's not a concept anymore, it's real) gets 200+ miles per gallon using a hybrid diesel/electric engine. It also has the option of the latest appointments, such as side airbags, "solar assisted" climate control system, reverse camera, GPS tracking system, and other modern gadgets. And Aptera has made a commitment to keep the price low enough that these cars will be affordable – about $25K-$30K. You can even reserve one now for $500, with the first models due to roll out in about 12 months.
This isn't your mother's hybrid. It looks a bit more like an egg on ice skates than a "car", but it is sleek and stylish, borrowing its aerodynamics from sea mammals and its construction materials from the aerospace industry. If safety is a concern, Aptera reports that both the materials and design make it as safe as a racecar — directing impacts away from a well-protected "cocoon" around the passenger area.
Not a family car… It's only a two-seater and it doesn't seem like there is much "trunk" space, so it's designed with the commuter in mind. I hope that if sales are good, a larger version will roll out soon. For now, I'm just glad to see someone has brought some sense back to an industry that got carried away with "bigger is better."

text: Though he's mostly been in the news lately for the Katie Holmes divorce, Tom Cruise hasn't always been a simply tabloid-fodder star. Ever since his big-screen debut in 1981, Thomas Cruise Mapother IV has been one of America's favorite actors for his dynamic leads, quirky cameos, and a consistently picture-perfect smile. Of course, his wardrobe on- or off-screen has never been one to disappoint, either. There's an endless supply of great-look moments to choose from when it comes to ranking the man's best outfits, so we thought we'd list some of our favorite Tom Cruise movies and take a look at the perfect ensemble to go with it.

Easter Bonnet, Part One
Recipe courtesy of Jacques Torres (Mrchocolate.com)
- Food Network Specials
- To make the modeling chocolate:
- White chocolate, 17 ounces, 500 grams
- Cocoa butter, 1.8 ounces, 50 grams
- Corn Syrup, 5.3 ounces, 150 grams
- Simple Syrup, 2.6 ounces, 75 grams
- Food color paste
- Cornstarch, for flouring the table
- For the ganache:
- 1 1/2 gelatin sheets or 1/2 envelope powdered gelatin
- White chocolate, chopped, 8.8 ounces, 250 grams
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream, 5.25 ounces, 150 grams
This recipe has a lot of components. If you are going to make the flowers using the chocolate plastic, you will need to make the mixture 24 hours in advance. You can buy the chocolate plastic already made in white or dark and then use either powdered or paste food colorings to color it. You could also choose to decorate your bonnet with real edible flowers or fresh fruit. I use a 6-inch dome mold to make the crown of the hat, but you can use any mold with a round bottom. I also use a Wagner paint sprayer to give the finished dessert a wonderful texture. If you try this, make sure you buy a brand-new sprayer and use it only for chocolate. You may decide to make your own pound cake or, if you don't have time, use store-bought.
To make the modeling chocolate: Professionals call modeling chocolate by the name chocolate plastic. Melt the chocolate and cocoa butter over a double boil. Bring the ingredients for the simple syrup to a boil. Place the corn syrup in a bowl and stir in the hot simple syrup. Pour this over the melted chocolate. Stir until it thickens. Place it in the refrigerator for at least one hour. The modeling chocolate will have the consistency of play dough when you work it with your hands. Divide it into three pieces. Use the food color paste to color one piece pink and one piece green. Work the food color paste into the modeling clay to distribute the color until it is the desired color. To make the ribbon: Take a ball of each color. Use the palms of your hands to roll each ball into a rope about 1/2-inch thick. Place the ropes side by side and gently press together. Use a rolling pin to roll out the ropes to create a tri-colored ribbon. Use cornstarch to "flour" the work surface. The rolled chocolate should be about 1/8-inch thick. Cut a strip about 30 inches long and about 11/2-inches wide and wrap it around the brim of the hat. You may need to trim the ends.
To make the leaves and rose petals: Roll out each colored chocolate plastic using cornstarch to "flour" the work surface. The rolled chocolate should be about 1/8-inch thick. To make the flowers, use 2-inch diameter cutter to cut circles from the rolled chocolate. You need to gently thin the top edge of each circle and you can do that with the end of an offset spatula or a hard-boiled egg. Gently press the spatula or egg against the top of the flower to thin the edge (like a real flower petal). Use 11/2 and 2-inch oval cutters to cut out the leaves. You can also do this with a paring knife. Use the back of a paring knife dipped in cornstarch to make the veins of the leaves. To make the center: All flowers have some kind of center. Use your fingers to shape a cone-shaped bud for the center of your rose. (Recipe continues on to Part Two)

Hi. A newbie. I installed/upgraded all the proper (at least that I know of) apps needed to run ruby on rails on a mac, but keep receiving mysql errors. The default page works fine, but as soon as I try a simple "hello world" controller that I'm testing, I keep getting different errors.
Current one after researching forums and trying to troubleshoot the problem, I'm stuck on a "Status: 500 Internal Server Error
Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client" I am upgraded to the latest. What gives? And I did assign a password to the root and "sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql'
My mac is os x 10.5.7
Ruby 1.8.7

hi how are you? i was refered to you by another user on this forum in hopes that you can help me out below is what i got going on.
ok here we go...i have a carport that i boxed in so i could have another room in my home...i have the washer and dryer on the other side of one of the walls and i want to cut into that wall and tap into the hot and cold water as well as the drain so i can add a sink in my added room...ok, i understand and know how to do the water part with no problem but my question is what is the best way to tap into the drain and install the p trap for the new sink?...first off there is about a 16" drop between the two rooms so i will be below the washer drain, and that is why i am asking about this before i start the task...my thoughts are just to find out what size the drain is and cut it and add a tee then tap in like that but does this sound ok or is there another way i should do this?? please help!
Thank you very much for your quick response. You are right, the PSI is very low 6 to 8 psi. Is there an adjustment on the valve that i can deal with or will I have to call someone in.

Ripley Residents File Lawsuit Against Tuition Agreement
RIPLEY-A group of Ripley residents are asking the state Education Department to nullify a tuitioning vote allowing Ripley students to attend Chautauqua Lake Central School.
Ripley residents approved the tuitioning of seventh- through 12th-graders by a 282-262 vote in February. A group of Ripley residents, led by Wanda Bentley, have filed a suit with the state Education Department asking for the vote to be nullified and a new election held. The petition cites a number of complaints implicating the districts' board members in alleged violations of election law that the community group says changed the results of the Feb. 5 vote.
Among the alleged violations brought forth in the petition were: the imposition of inappropriate and unevenly applied requirements and procedures in establishing residency for voting purposes; conducting a false canvass of the ballots, and voiding eligible votes with the intention of altering the election outcome; the use of Ripley's public and official message board to campaign for the tuitioning agreement with fraudulent and inaccurate information and using the board to campaign within view of a polling place; and allowing unqualified voters to falsely register and vote in the election, as well as the concealment of the votes from the public.
While the filing states the board engaged in a false canvass of ballots and voided eligible votes with the intention of altering the election's result, no evidence of such behavior was provided in any of the affidavits.
Robert Bentley, Ripley board president, said he was served Tuesday and, in talking with the district's attorneys, was advised to refrain from comment.
"We're meeting our obligations to answer this, and we have no doubt we'll prevail," said Bentley. "I will say, in all honesty, we're very happy that we can answer these questions, and get this behind us. And we will."
The petition stated that the outcome of the election, which was passed by a 282-262 vote, would have been different if the petitioners had not been given false information and/or had their votes voided by the district.
Included in the petition were photos of the school's message board displaying the question, "Will tuitioning 7-12 students decrease my taxes?" and answer "Yes." The petition said board members Robert Bentley, Nancy Rowe, Ted Rickenbrode, Frederick Krause and superintendent Karen Krause had not researched potential tax savings prior to Jan. 17. The district's budget, approved by voters in May, included a 1.7 percent tax decrease.
An irregularity in the timing of the petition is that it was filed outside of the 30-day statute of limitations, a delay for which the petition claims it has good cause. It said the petitioners did not come forth as aggrieved until June 5 because, prior to that date, the petitioners were not numerous enough to overturn the election results.
Wanda Bentley obtained affidavits from 23 aggrieved voters. Jason Bentley, one of the aggrieved voters, said his vote wasn't counted when it should have been counted. Of the 22 remaining aggrieved voters, four said they were misinformed by the board and want to change their votes while 17 said they weren't informed of the vote at all. The board placed legal notices in the Dunkirk OBSERVER and The Post-Journal while several stories about the suit were run in both newspapers prior to the vote. Discussions of the tuitioning agreement began in earnest in August 2012.
Additional information presented to NYSED with the petition is listed to be in the form of board meeting minutes and the petitioners' affidavits.
Wanda Bentley was unable to be reached by phone on Wednesday.

Very disappointed...
By HS
from Florida
I am highly disappointed with my purchase, mostly because half of it never even arrived. I was incredibly excited when I saw that GeoSafari was still around. I remember playing with it at school as a child. I knew that the laptop, along with the expansion card pack, would be the ideal Christmas gift for my son. I purchased both the laptop and card set on Thanksgiving. I received the cards rather quickly, but the laptop didn't come with it. I waited and waited and waited. Finally, I received an email last week stating that they were sold out and discontinued. I realize that things happen, so I am not necessarily mad that I didn't get what I ordered. I just find it very inconvenient that I now have a card set that is virtually useless and must find a way to return it. It just seems like a hassle that could have been avoided with an organized record of inventory.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: We sincerely apologize for your experience. Could you please email us at email@example.com or call 800-995-4436? We'll gladly take the card set back. Thank you.

Hurrah for LR Baggs! My only complaint about your equipment is how it's the first sound item to get stolen when I leave stuff behind at a gig
So, I've got a Tacoma Baritone guitar, and it came equipped with an LR Baggs Miratone pickup that leaves a bit to be desired, so I just ordered and received an Onboard Imix system to replace it. I'm wondering though, is there any difference between the Element pickup and the Miratone? If there's not one, could I save a few steps and just plug the Miratone into the Imix preamp, instead of the Element?
Thanks for your response!

Friday, March 16, 2012 - Pictures: 2012 Swiss Open
Indonesia's Taufik Hidayat surged into the semi-finals of the Yonex Swiss Open where he will face China's Chen Jin on Saturday.
The two former world champions, who have not been having the best of form of late, will be joined in the last four by second seed Chen Long and South Korea's Lee Hyun Il.
Taufik (left), who regained his winning touch when he won the India Open in December, his first title in over a year, is slowly finding his old rhythm.
He is still a top draw wherever he goes and reaching the last four in this Grand Prix Gold tournament will certain help him in his quest to return to the top 10 in the world rankings.
The former Olympic champion is current 12th, three spots behind his compatriot Simon Santoso.
Taufik reached the semis when he beat Shon Wan Ho 21-14, 10-21, 21-19 on Friday. On Thursday, he has showed glimpses of his old form when he outplayed eighth seed Du Pengyu 21-18, 21-15.
Chen Jin, who is in danger of missing the Olympics, had no problems booking his place in the final four, taking out Malaysia's Liew Daren 21-8, 23-21.
Chen Long and Hyun Il, meanwhile, ended Denmark's interest in the men's singles competition by beating Hans-Kristian Vittinghus and Viktor Axelsen respectively.
World No. 3 Chen Long took 47 minutes to tame Vittinghus 21-14, 21-14, while Hyun Il only took 35 minutes to beat former world junior champion Axelsen 21-15, 21-14.
Taufik's teammates Alvent Yulianto Chandra-Hendra Aprida Gunawan gave themselves a chance to win the men's doubles title by reaching the final four.
Alvent-Hendra, who will play in next week's Axiata Cup, at No. 5, are the highest seeds remaining in the competition.
They will face sixth seeds Naoki Kawamae-Shoji Sato for a place in the final while another Japanese pair Hiroyuki Endo-Kenichi Hayakawa meet Taipei's Fang Chieh Min-Lee Sheng Mu in the other semi-final

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered remarks at the 12th Annual Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit on October 6 in Washington, DC. Secretary Clinton spoke about the power of mentoring, and supporting women and girls.
The Secretary said, "I am a firm believer in the power of mentoring. There are women and girls in our country and around the world who have the talent, the intellect, the drive to succeed, but who lack the support. I have become convinced that talent is universal, but opportunity is not. And you never know when what you do or say can open that door to opportunity for someone who is ready to walk through it, but could not get under, around, or over it without your help. And still in too many places, support for women is in short supply. But through mentoring, we can help meet that need. And it's low-cost, high-impact, and deeply rewarding.""[I]t might seem that an executive in the United States and an entrepreneur from a village in Bangladesh or a crowded slum in Kenya do not have enough in common to connect meaningfully through mentoring. But in fact, we do. We are connected by shared experiences and aspirations no matter the circumstances of our lives. And through global mentoring programs, we can replicate one of those shared experiences, one that happens every day in countless places around the world, women coming together to support each other and to see how we can together make progress."
Secretary Clinton continued, "Last year in Mumbai, I visited a shop owned and operated by women selling crafts and textiles, most of whom come from the very lowest socioeconomic stratum, all of whom are organized through one of the most effective women's organizations in the world, the Self-Employed Women's Association known as SEWA. I've worked with SEWA for many years. I have literally seen the transformation in lives that banding together has catalyzed in individual women's lives.""I also, last summer, went to -- went back to Cape Town, and for the third time, I visited a group of women who, on their own, transformed their position as squatters into homeowners and then community leaders. I'd already been to one of the housing developments that these women through their own sweat equity had created, and this time I went to the second housing development that they are starting. The women that I have come to know don't have much education, but they are among the most powerful and effective women I have ever met. And they have created now two thriving communities where before there was apathy if not despair."
She continued, "Now, we are just beginning a new initiative called TechWomen that I announced in April during the President's Entrepreneurship Summit here in Washington. Through TechWomen, we will match women in Muslim-majority countries with women working in tech companies here in the U.S. And we will send American mentors to their proteges' countries to engage on a wider scale with the people there. We obviously want to harness one of America's great strengths -- our excellence in technology and innovation -- and use it to build effective and lasting partnerships with rising women leaders in Muslim countries. And I invite you to participate in that.""We're also partnering with companies to support women, and indeed, working with the private sector is such a critical element that I want to mention just one of our public-private partnerships. You'll be hearing from Andrea Jung later today, and earlier this year, the Avon Foundation made a grant of $500,000 to the Secretary's Fund for Global Women's Leadership to accelerate the fight against the global epidemic of violence against women. And I want to thank Andrea and Avon for that. We are using this money to identify and support local programs that are addressing this epidemic."
You can read the full transcript here.
Pamela G. in West Virginia writes:
I think it is wonderful to unleash the power of women in parts of the world where women have normally been held back. The important part of this forum thoughis the realization that this mentoring program is also needed desparately here in our country.

late report bald river may 9-11
i have been busy all week working overtime and getting caught up with life after most of a week spent in the woods. i have barely found time to read, much less post on here. so heres a really late report...
my brother, brother in law and i were to go backpacking on eagle creek last weekend. we had our permits bought and printed, packed our bags and and ready to go. friday morning we met up in lenoir city and disussed the weather, with a possibility for more than an inch of rain in 24 hours, and 9 stream crossings to bear in mind. for the second year in a row, we went with plan "B"
we got to the holly flats campground around 11 am and threw up camp quickly then hit the water. i started out with a new dry fly i tied for the mountains i have been calling the poor mans stimulator (it could be considered a variation to an EHC or stimulator) and a pheasant tail dropper. i caught half a dozen rainbows in short order ranging from fingerling to 7 inches.
first fish of the weekend
soon it started to rain and i headed back to camp and sat under the tarp hoping it was just a passing storm. an hour later i was wet, sitting under the tarp indian style on the picnic table watching the creation of a small stream under my feet. i dropped a cigarette butt in it just to see how far it would float (of course i picked it up later) it made it pretty far. i ducked into my tent during the next lull and was trapped there for a few hours. the river came up and was stained, fishing was done for the day.
by morning the river was in better shape but it was still sprinkling on and off. i fished for a little bit before it got heavier. this time we all sat under the tarp for two hours watching the water go by. the river stained again but didn't gain too much flow. i hiked up above kirkland creek to smaller water and started fishing again. i wasn't having much luck so i switched my dropper to a black stonefly nymph, big by my standards. this gave a bigger, darker profile in the stained water and i was catching trout again.
sunday morning the weather was much better. partly cloudy, it finally warmed up a little. after a little packing up i hit the stream one last time. the fishing was slower as we had exhausted most of our favorite runs the previous day. i managed to get a brown to eat near camp.
he liked the poor mans stimulator
we finished cleaning up camp and decided to try a different stream before we head home. we chose sycamore creek since none of us had ever been there. it is a beautiful stream and we found a couple of backcountry campsites we agreed we should make use of fairly soon.
sycamore creek
my brother wasn't fishing this trip, he hasn't been bitten by the small mountain stream fly fishing bug yet. he caught a couple on eagle creek three years back, and lost a pig on the clinch once but hasn't really had fond memories of the challenges of learning to fly fish. we were walking the trail together when i spotted a good run and crept down to make a cast. almost as soon as my fly hit the water there was a splash and i hooked a rainbow. my brother was watching and took pictures of the whole process. i think he was impressed. Nope, he was just thinking the same as me... there's a fish there...
hooray for the poor mans stimulator! sorry about the camera strap
he talked about updating the cheap fly combo with no fighting drag i gave him a few years ago, especially getting a quality reel and maybe a yellow eagle claw rod to cast it on. i'm alot more experienced now than when i was guiding him back then, i hope i can help make his experiences more memorable this next time
Thanks for the report:biggrin:
That was a nice Brown, and that's a wonderful area I need to do more exploring in
Thanks for the report and pictures. Sounded like it was a good time all around even with the rain.
Nice report. Doesn't look like they got all the rainbows out of Sycamore when they did the brookie restoration project.
they didn't.
was there Friday and caught a few.
Ok, so they are removing some bows, just not with antimycin or rotenone. http://www.sabch.org/index_htm_files...%20Project.pdf
Nice report! That's a good size brown for the Stream. I want to ride over and fish the BR. I always get drawn to tellico, north or sycamore.
But as far as sycamore creek goes how far are the brookies up?
This is from a trip a week or so ago.
I always catch plenty of bows but I've only saw and missed one spec. It was a good sized and it really surprised me. All I saw was a take and a flash of orange as my dry disappeared and I missed it.
The Brookie I saw was a slightly downstream of the red dot and the purple was as far as I fished.
Maybe while you were sitting out the rain, you should have been fishing. Saw a 22 inch brown trout come out of thet river on a fly in dirty water between the campground bridge and the next bridge downstream. . Course that was about four decades ago, but l suspect there are several big browns still in the river there. The mountain boys loved to fish the river when it was rain stained. They would show up with a reel loaded with straight ten pound test monfilament line, a short fly rod and a yellowhammer fly loaded with lead wire. They would let out line slowly and the current take the fly , and the fly sink, then add tension and raise the fly off the bottom and swing the fly cross stream and hang on .it was deadly on the larger fish. Unfortunatetly they weren't totally observant of the catch and release regulations there .
nice brown and , a pretty shot of Sycamore Creek. Thanks for a nice report

The new drives boost performance compared to previously available offerings, but, more importantly, they also increase capacity to up to 900GB.
"Continuing our commitment to the industry's fastest-growing segment - 2.5" drives - WD is updating our small form factor SAS offering with the advanced technology of our third-generation drive, including a new 900 GB capacity point," said Darwin Kauffman, vice president of enterprise storage solutions at WD.

WD declares 204MB/s buffer to disc transfer rate and 7.8W read/write power consumption. The WD S25 line is designed for the most demanding applications such as online transaction processing and multi-tiered networked storage arrays.
WD's third-generation of 2.5" SAS drives are also its first to include support for T10 protection onformation (PI) for advanced data integrity, and the first to provide optional models that feature drive-level self-encryption that meets the Trusted Computing Group's specification for enterprise class A encryption.
WD S25 SAS hard drives are currently shipping to OEMs, with broader availability at select resellers and distributors worldwide later next quarter. WD S25 SAS hard drives are covered by a five-year limited warranty.
"Our latest generation of WD S25 SAS drives offer a powerful combination of enterprise-class performance and industry-leading reliability that is ideal for demanding high-performance computing and mission-critical environments. WD is also delivering higher capacity offerings and the power efficiency of the small form factor footprint, providing the most efficient storage solution for IT professionals and enabling lower TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)," added Mr. Kauffman.

Invoking a sense of the sea, whimsy and holiday, jewelry designer Tamara Comolli's (right) aesthetic has come to epitomize the Southwest Florida lifestyle. Her designs are the essence of casual elegance: leathers set with diamonds, beaded wood bracelets arranged with rose gold, ocean jasper cut into candy drops—all exude luxury in a wearable way often not found with fine jewelry. And though these shapes, colors and gems give a sense of permanent beach holiday, Comolli is German-born and currently lives in Bavaria, a millieu more akin to the Sound of Music than the sandy shores of the Seychelles. But her childhood, a whirlwind of Mediterranean resort-leisure towns, helped instill the casual elegance and whimsy of her collection.
"It has a lot to do with my upbringing," Comolli says. "My father ran casinos, had a casino in Gibraltar and then in France. So my mother and we four kids traveled all over the world to follow Dad, and we were surrounded in this Mediterranean environment that always had this holiday feel for us," adds Comolli, who strategically targets her markets with boutiques on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach, the Hamptons, and her U.S. headquarters in Naples.
Though the sea seems to intertwine with Comolli's vibe, she still holds Germany close, not only by living there, but with a boutique on the exclusive island of Sylt and another to open in Munich. To Comolli, Germany is home—and a strategic base of operations.
|Comolli (right) with members of her design team in Germany.
"I like the country because its very homey, safe and a good place to raise your children," says Comolli. "The spirit of the collection definitely comes from traveling and loving the beach and the water. [The beach] is where I would like to spend most of my time but unfortunately you have to work, too. The good thing about Germany is there are amazing goldsmiths here, the very best gemstone carvers are based here, and it's great place to have a hub between America and Asia to do sourcing, production and distribution."
It's a practicality that helps explain the other half of Comolli—the business-driven realist. "I studied business and economics at university and went into consulting for luxury goods before starting the company," says the designer, who started her eponymous line 22 years ago. "Since I was 12 I had a strong passion for gemstones, and I am really crazy about bracelets. I started my first little bracelet collection when I was 17 and tried to sell it, but my father said 'don't you start with this nonsense, you have to do something real and study.'"
So Comolli stuck with consulting, designing and creating jewelry for herself, until one day, at 29, she finally "got fed up" and took the plunge with her own business. But even then, she went into it with her own rules.
"It was always a clear vision of fine jewelry that was very different and quite daring at that time. I always had an understated approach to high-end jewelry. [Fine jewelry] was always intimidating and expensive; going into a jewelry store was quite an effort … no one quite understood the sense of casual luxury. I think, if you can afford it, just wear it … put a pair of diamonds on leather. I just did not understand that classic, over-the-top approach. So I wanted to do my own brand with my own vision … wearable, casual luxury. That's how I built the brand in the end."

How We Work
Governance Assessment Portal (GAP): The Governance Assessment Portal is a virtual resource centre for indicators, assessment frameworks and country studies. Here you can find data, articles, tools, statistics and case studies on measuring democratic governance.
Forest Governance Assessments: Matching international standards and rooted in local ownership, these assessments of forest governance will be guided by principles of country ownership, conditional to inclusive mechanisms, with a focus on Indigenous and vulnerable communities, and with a strong focus on capacity building. In cooperation with UNREDD, initiatives will be rolled out through UNDP country offices.
Gender and Democratic Governance in Development: Delivering Services for Women: In cooperation with UNIFEM, support to national initiatives is offered to increase the production of human development relevant governance indicators that are also gender sensitive. This will be done through the consultative approach of the National Human Development Report and thereby strengthen accountability at all levels of government. Highlighting the importance of governance indicators to human development can increase the demand, quality and relevance of nationally produced governance statistics.
South-South Research Consortium on use of governance indicators in Africa: In cooperation with the EC, a research consortium of African think tanks led by IDASA is set to explore the question of governance indicators and accountability. Looking at Ghana, Mozambique and Rwanda, the consortium will explore specific cases of how governance indicators and evidence are used to influence policy.
Leadership and Innovations in Democratic Governance: Leadership and Innovations in Democratic Governance (LEADING) is a series of seminars providing a forum for UNDP senior management to engage in discussions about the challenges of democracy promotion. In 2009 together with Regional Service Centre in Bangkok, OGC organized two and a half day seminar related to democratic governance challenges in the Asia Pacific Region. The next LEADING seminar will take place in 2011.
Political Economy Analysis: Working closely with other parts of UNDP, the Oslo Governance Centre (OGC) has started to analyze current trends in usage of political economy analysis in the context of international development, arguing for its potential benefits, and indicating how UNDP can engage with actors undertaking analyses and adapt these practices to its own mandate. The OGC is coordinating the process of developing a UNDP-wide approach to political economy analysis by offering a menu of options to support programming and policy dialogue at the country level.

Dear friends and neighbors,
Thank you for visiting my website. This site is updated throughout the legislative session with information on the legislative process, important issues being discussed and how you can be involved in your state government. I hope you check back frequently.
Whether the Legislature is in session or not, my priorities remain the same:
- Less government
- Lower taxes
- More freedom
The decisions I make in Olympia are filtered through the priorities above. I believe state government has grown too large at the expense of everyday taxpayers. The continual drumbeat for more regulations and more taxes has eroded much of the freedoms upon which our country was based.
My responsibility, as your elected official, is to fight for your freedoms. I want Washington state to be a place where hard work is still rewarded; where people are held accountable for their actions (or inactions); where common sense solutions lead to a stable and secure future for our children and grandchildren; and where an efficient and effective state government replaces one that has tried to be all things to all people.
Again, thank you for visiting my website. I welcome your thoughts and concerns.
David Taylor
State Representative
15th District

Mother Raises Awareness
LAKEWOOD – A half-million children and adults in the U.S. rely on feeding tubes as their primary means of nutrition.
One child using enteral feeding is 9-month-old Skylar MacDonald of Lakewood. Her parents, Nichole and Lloyd, want people to know about the positive benefit of a feeding tube as a lifesaving medical tool. That is why they are alerting the public that the third annual international Feeding Tube Awareness Week starts Sunday.
The week serves to educate the public about the medical reasons children are tube fed, the challenges tube-feeding families face and about the day-to-day life with a tube-fed child. Feeding Tube Awareness Week connects tube-feeding families by seeing how other families are going through a similar situation, which can make people feel less alone.
Skylar MacDonald has been on a feeding tube since she was 3 months old.
Nichole MacDonald said the doctors still don't know what is wrong with her daughter, calling it a "medical mystery."
"They're trying to figure it out," she said.
At 3 months old, Skylar had only gained 1 pound since birth. Her mother said she wasn't able to feed through a bottle, and anything they could get through her month she would eventually regurgitate. At three months, Skylar should have weighed 12 to 13 pounds, but only weighed 7.
Since starting to use a feeding tube, Skylar has been able to add weight. She is now 13 pounds, which is still lower than a typical 9-month-old baby, which weighs 18 to 20 pounds.
MacDonald is thankful for the medical device that is helping her daughter. She said it can be challenging with a lot of negativity surrounding the feeding tube. She said Feeding Tube Awareness Week is an opportunity to embrace the positives, and be thankful that it is helping her child to live and grow.
"Without the feeding tube, she wouldn't be here," she said. "It is a blessing she got it."
MacDonald said they will be taking Skylar to Rochester for a second opinion on her condition. She said they will see a gastrointestinal doctor to see about Skylar's illness. Right now, though, the MacDonalds don't know how much longer their daughter will wear the feeding tube.
"It could be the rest of her life or a few years. We're hoping for just a few more years," she said.
Skylar also has a brother, Brayden, who assists in helping Skylar receive nourishment.
"He's been a great help. Every time she cries, he tries to comfort her," MacDonald said.
In 2011, the first annual Feeding Tube Awareness Week was launched. Each year, parents and caregivers are encouraged to participate in the awareness week by posting through social media, blogging, emailing or making videos. In 2012, thousands of people were with made aware through the Feeding Tube Awareness Facebook page.

You're in a war with sin every day. Question is, where's the battlefield--where does sin operate, do its damage? Where do you have to take the fight to experience victory?
In Dealing with Sins of the Mind, John MacArthur takes you past the tidy exterior of your life and reveals the part no one sees--your thoughts, ground zero for sin. Once you know where to focus your assault, you can defeat your enemy with an overwhelming, Bible-powered barrage.
Every Christian needs to deal with sin in the mind. These lessons will help you identify and destroy those easily concealed sins, and experience greater joy and blessing in Christ.

Keep your house clean during renovations with this simple trick
To create a dust barrier during a recent renovation project, Club member Brett Bunn of Fancy Gap, Virginia, used plastic window-insulation film. He simply applied the double-sided tape that came with the film kit around the doorway, attached the film to the tape and used a hair dryer to shrink the film tight. Brett recommends applying a few strips of painter�s tape over the film to increase visibility and prevent family members from running into it. Brought to you by: American Profile

As turnaround specialists Mike Dempsy and Rod Beck began working with Cirrus Aviation's Nayda Cattin, one of the first ideas to experiment with at the school centers around the concept of package pricing, selling value, and how to get over price objections on the phone. Below is the advice Dempsy and Beck gave Cattin.
The pricing below and the way to package it are suggestions. We have come up with a price that will build profitability into each program. Price is always going to be a part of the equation because everyone is after the most bang for the buck. The presentation and close are things most people don't think about, yet are the most important parts of the business.
"Try Your Wings"
Plan 1 – Cessna Skycatcher 162: $795
Course includes: 4 hours flight instruction, 2 hours briefing/debriefing
Flight logbook and basic flight manual
Plan 2 – Cessna 172S: $895
Course includes: 4 hours flight instruction, 2 hours briefing/debriefing
Flight logbook and basic flight manual
"Top Gun" Solo Course
Plan 1 – Cessna Skycatcher 162: $3.495
Course includes: 16 hours flight instruction, 8 hours briefing/debriefing
Flight logbook and basic flight manual
Plan 2 – Cessna 172S: $3,795
Course includes: 16 hours flight instruction, 8 hours briefing/debriefing
Flight logbook and basic fight manual
NOTE: All programs are prepaid for special pricing
When offering packages they should be geared toward the goal of getting the prospect all the way to a certificate. This is an upsell approach that many flight schools do not use. But the opportunity is really there. So how do we deal with the common objection of, "The Top-Gun solo package is a lot more expensive than if I bought per flight hour." The usual answer is to discount until the customer thinks the price is worth the package. A better strategy is to say, "We find our pilots save money by purchasing the package because they are more motivated to finish up quickly." An alternative is to say, "Instead of us spending most of your time retraining the previous instruction, students who buy the package (at full price) are more apt to finish the course and reach their goals in a lot less time."
Are the above statements accurate? I think that someone who flies more frequently picks up on the lessons quicker. The buyer wants the product that gives him the best chance of completing his training and realizing his goals.
We can also handle it in a context based on your actual experience with instructors. Do this by stressing the completion rate and the price savings. To the client it sounds like, "In our 18 years of experience training students, over time we see this program as being the most cost effective way of you achieving your goals." Then don't forget to work on closing the deal by asking if they have time to come by the school today, when they want to start, when they want to get on the schedule, or when a flight instructor can call them back.
Make the proposition simple and interesting. They call and you outline the course for them. At that point, get them talking about the motivation for the course. Start at the top course involving the Garmin G1000-equipped Cessna Skyhawk and why this is really the way to go. If they balk because of cost or other reasons, start working down. Offer the Top Gun program. Say, "Most people who have wanted to learn how to fly actually get to solo an airplane and make the decision from there." If that doesn't work, go to the "Try your wings" course. A no response here is a rudder kicker! They may want to go a la carte, but at least you identified someone wanting to learn how to fly.
The real key with pricing and talking pricing on the phone is not doing too much on the phone or via e-mail. Get them to stop in to meet with a flight instructor or see the business. Don't spend a lot of time giving all the information on the phone. They'll have no reason to sign up, and they control the purchase. Turning the questions around on them like, "Do you live in Sarasota?" And, "When would you like to stop in and see us?"
Appointments are the name of the game. You will be surprised by your success if you can get that action put into the thinking. Our Internet department went from a 11 percent lead to close, to a 41 percent lead to close by implementing this as the only thing you are doing. It works. And if you do one thing figure this out. Chances are, most of the time the person will purchase something other than they inquired about. They may think they want the 6-months to private course, and end up buying the LSA course. Either way, you win.
The next update of Project Flight School will Cirrus Aviation's reaction and experience with implementing the course pricing practice.

Hounds eliminated in SWC tourny
October 26, 2006
WICHITA FALLS, Texas — Midwestern State limited Eastern New Mexico University to just two shots on goal Thursday night and the top-seeded host Mustangs notched a 5-1 victory in the semifinals of the Southwest Soccer Conference tournament.
Goals by Scott Leonard and Brandon Swartzendruber midway through the first half staked Midwestern (16-2-1), ranked No. 10 in NCAA Division II, to a 2-0 halftime lead. Then the teams erupted for three goals in a span of less than two minutes early in the second half.
Midwestern's Sun Porter scored off a corner kick with just under 37 minutes left, making it 3-0, before junior defender Adam Diehl put the Greyhounds (4-11-3) on the board 49 seconds later with an unassisted goal. It was only the second goal given up by the Mustangs in their last eight games, and ENMU's first against them in three meetings this season.
Daniel Brown followed with an unassisted goal at the 54:50 mark. Jake Landon's goal with about 18 minutes to play sealed the outcome.
Midwestern will play third-seeded West Texas A&M in Saturday's 11 a.m. (MDT) championship match. The Buffaloes went to penalty kicks to post a 3-2 victory over second-seeded Northeastern State in Thursday's first semifinal.

About the Authors: Victoria Holt serves as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs, and Annie Pforzheimer serves as Director for UN Peacekeeping in the Bureau of International Organization Affairs.
In countries recovering from war, it is normal to see UN blue helmeted military units -- they're big, obvious, and a reassuring presence.
But in Liberia, where President Johnson-Sirleaf was re-elected to a second term, that reassuring presence should be the uniform of a Liberian police officer -- with a blue helmet backing them up.
A long-term peace, I was reminded during my visit to Liberia in mid-March, doesn't come from soldiers, but rather from a functioning criminal justice system. The Liberian National Police are central to the future of the country's security when the peacekeepers leave. That said, there are obstacles that stand between the security that Liberians need and where it is today. The UN Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) has to help address this.
Top UN officials -- civilian, police, and military -- told us of the challenges in supporting the rule of law, from the basic traffic cop to ambitious courts to handling sexual violence. It is a work in progress. A foremost police concern is what is known as the "lost generation" -- those who could not go to school during the two-decade-long civil war. "We should start police training in nursery school," one Western government official told me, because so many people are illiterate.
The police seem to need more of just about everything: recruitment, training, equipment, and education. A wartime culture of impunity and a habit of not obeying rules can extend to those in uniform, so officers must be thoroughly vetted to force out corrupt officers. UNMIL helps them with all of this, as do other donors -- especially the United States.
Furthermore, police must plug into a functioning justice system, which does not yet exist. If those they arrest go free because the courts are unequipped to process them, and the alleged criminal is back on the streets, the police are blamed -- unfairly. Judges and prosecutors are often untrained, understaffed, and in some cases don't show up at all. "The judiciary is the rotten part," a local journalist told me, "clerks, judges all expect a payoff, and they are untouchable."
In other cases, many of those who are arrested and don't go free actually should -- the vast majority of those in Liberian jails have never had a trial. Again, UNMIL is trying to lend expertise.
At the top of the judicial pyramid is Minister of Justice Christiana Tah, a former professor of sociology, anthropology, and criminal justice at Montgomery College, Maryland, who oversees the jails and prosecutors. Minister Tah does what she can with a small budget and big problems. "I have like 100 priorities," she told us. Chief among them is to make sure all the parts of the legal system talk to each other.
"I was away on a trip and the police chief called me, very proud, to say he'd arrested 130 delinquents. I asked him if he'd made sure there was a grand jury for indictments, prosecutors ready to take the case, and even room in the jail. He hadn't," she continued, "so everyone was released." Beyond these problems of coordination, there is the problem of crime in a post-conflict environment, including a terribly high rate of violence against women and children.
The United Nations has targeted Liberia for help bringing justice to the people. The UN's Peacebuilding Fund supports the building of regional hubs to bring police and judicial services out to the underserved countryside. For the all-female formed police unit from India, its about community work and setting an example. For the U.S. police advisors, it's mentoring and building a cadre of professional police. For the senior team in UNMIL, it's about working with the government to set priorities and build Liberian capacity. And for Liberians, justice and rule of law is needed to fully move on from its former state of war.
Editor's Note: This is the third in a three part series about the authors' recent travel to Liberia and Cote d'Ivoire, where they visited UN operations in both countries.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Dep. Sec. Victoria Holt and Annie P. , Direct. of UN Peace Keeping,
I hope the blue helmets, and blue berets have all the gear they need to be effective (including helicopters and airlift logistical support), and I understand why their headgear is blue being universally recognizable as worn by UN personel in conflict zones.
But can you tell me why they are wearing blue camo uniforms? I mean blue I can understand, but a camo pattern in blue seems a paradoxical curiosity, as they arn't trying to hide themselves first of all, and secondly it would be quite impossible to do so wearing camo patterned blue on blue anyway...unless possibly under water...(chuckle).
It's probably not all that important a question, but it's one of those observable little details I wonder about along with the larger issues concerning the UN's overall footprint on the world stage, and its practical effectiveness in some cases.
Would either of you be able to tell me who came up with this particular dress code? And what puropse blue camo uniforms might serve in any real world practical application?
This curious mind would love to know.
Keep up the good work,
Ronda writes:
Difficult and dangerous is the work of the police, especially in risk zones as Liberia. As we see the responsibilities are huge, but are happy to have such people who are ready to risk their lives in the name of the peace.
Jenny in the United Kingdom writes:
I did not know these details about Liberia, this was interesting and made me think of the way politicians have structured army there.
John P. in Greece writes:
@ Eric in New Mexico
QUOTE: including helicopters and airlift logistical support…END OF QUOTE.
If I got it, I think you say something important once again…
Do you mean that they cannot have the software without having the right hardware?
Eric in New Mexico writes:
I mean simply that if you are going to be putting boots on the ground in peacekeeping opps that they should have rapid reaction capability, recon, offensive search and destroy capability w/ political mandate, when populations are being targeted by terrorists or state sponsors of such terrorism. And as far as hardware , if they wear blue camo body armor as well, so be it.
Although the their "software" uniforms - camo blue- does seem a little paradoxical...(chuckle).

Here's how RW members rated this race (1164 votes).
In short: Great race but busyIn full: The only down side to Bath is the number of entrants mean the route can get congested and the start is slow. If you can get over that a really good run with a lot of supportDate of review: March 3, 2013
In short: Too busy at the start - maybe nee to start in two waves as the streets are very narrowDate of review: March 3, 2013
In short: The atmosphere was amazing, nice course, highly recommended!Date of review: September 6, 2012
In short: brilliant run in one of the countrys best cities.big event atmosphere.think there were only a couple hills on first lap.great music and crowds.lively medal and goody bag to boot!highly recommended Date of review: June 5, 2012
In short: Beautiful city, fast course, great crowd but far too expensive.Date of review: May 20, 2012
In short: Enjoyed it but far too congested and actually quite expensive for a halfIn full: I ran this as training for the London Marathon mainly because although I live in London I have friends/family in Bath. I have to admit it's quite expensive for a "half" and I did find the route very congested, but the crowd support was amazing for a city half. Would consider again but price may put me offDate of review: April 26, 2012
In short: the best city half in the countryIn full: I did bath for the first time this year after all my family telling me how much i was missing out and they weren't wrong. I LOVED the Bath Half and in my opinion is the best city half in the country. The crowds were relentless and unbelievabley uplifting. whole streets turned it into an excuse for a street party and all the students were outside their houses in their droves. people offering trays of jelly babies and water with speakers outside their houses, a local pub had even put a stage outside and had a band playing, at one point I was in tears because of how emotional it all was! The steel band were a highlight and I looked forward to seeing them on the 2nd lap. The double decker bus full of charity support was great too, so much to see on the way round. Very well organised and easy to get to. Route was fantastic, it is a 2 lap which I was dubious about but it worked. Small stretch on the way back into town which was a bit boring but the scouts were there in force to support us in the non residential areas. The finish straight was great. It is a flat course with only one incline that lasts about 40 seconds thats it. I have no bad words to say, I love this race and will do it every year for as long as I can!Date of review: April 25, 2012
In short: Fabulous atmosphere pulls you through the tough bits!In full: The Bath Half was very well organized. Yes, it was quite busy, but if you turned up to your starting pen in good time you could easily secure a good starting position. I ran for the pure enjoyment, and was thrilled by the atmosphere - all along the route people lined the streets cheering us all on.The whole day felt really special and although I didn't do a particularly fast time (2:10), I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The thrill of being lapped by the leading runners was fab, and I'd definitely run this one again!Organisation was exceptional, and the goody bag was marvellous. All in all, a great race!Date of review: March 25, 2012
In short: Great Atmosphere but too congestedIn full: It was a great atmosphere cheering all the way around, also inspirational music at times.Course not flat - there were undulations. Runners Village was crowded and its just as well it was a warm dry sunny day else it would have turned into a mud bath.Inadequate toilet arrangements. Unfortunately like many have suggested too crowded both in the village and more importantly the course. There needs to be more categories of runner. I started 6 minutes behind the start gun, and found it impossible to safely overtake for miles. Virtually walking in places during the first half mile.and even in the latter stages I was having to weave and bob too much for my liking. That said I still improved my PB by 20 seconds. That however wasnt because it was fast flat course, because it isnt = it was due to the hard training I put in!!! I wont be doing this one again. Roll on the Bristol Half in September. Now thats a fast flat PB potential course!Date of review: March 24, 2012
In short: Brill atmosphere, crowded startIn full: Enjoyed this race. Bath is a lovely city and the crowd watching it created a great atmosphere. The Runner's village had lots of facilities however the many non-runners in there made it difficult to pass through. Disorganised queues for the toilets, the lack of barriers meant people arriving just before the start time decided they could ignore the queue most of us were in for 20minutes already. That plus having to squeeze out through the narrow bit by the rugby ground meant that I was 9 minutes late passing the start line. Stuck behind a guy dressed as a banana and various superheros meant that any PB I had designs on, was out of the question. Would still recommend people to do. I just wouldn't do it again.
