Five of LSU's first seven games will be held in Baton Rouge during the 2017 season.
The Southeastern Conference released the SEC schedules for all teams next season on the SEC Network Tuesday night.
As is usual with the SEC's schedule, LSU will feature four conference home games and four away during the middle of its season, beginning with the season opener against BYU on Sept. 2 at Houston's NRG Stadium.
"Houston is a great city with a huge LSU alumni base and NRG Stadium continues to be one of the great venues for football," LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said in early January of 2015. "We look forward to opening the 2017 season against BYU in Houston in what should be another great start to the football season."
LSU's nonconference schedule, which was released in 2015, features the 2017 season opener against the Cougars followed by Chattanooga — which LSU will pay the Mocs a guaranteed $500,000, according to FBSschedules.com — in Tiger Stadium the week before LSU opens SEC play on Sept. 16 at Mississippi State.
LSU will play at home against Syracuse on Sept. 23 and Troy a week later on Sept. 30.
The Tigers will travel to Starkville on Sept. 16, Oxford on Oct. 21 and Knoxville on Nov. 18 against Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Tennessee, respectively.
LSU and Alabama will take its respective bye weeks off the week prior to the Nov. 4th duel.
Arkansas, Auburn, Florida and Texas A&M, the last regular season game, will come to Baton Rouge between October and November.
- A note: LSU coach Les Miles remains 40-19 against the SEC West and 21-8 versus the East.

17. Azure Conquest (Page 4)
"You seemed to be perfectly fine with it back at school! We snuck out all the time together!"
"That's just it! It was school. But this is the real world where you have to realize that not everything you dreamed of is going to come true. When are you going to grow u─?"
"It was an meeting for an arranged marriage!" Tarin sputtered, bowing his head.
"You're my only friend who's still single," he grabbed her shoulders, needing her to see things from his perspective, " and you know my personal views on marriage. Can't you at least try to understand why I couldn't bring myself to go?"
Elden's eyes grew large, startled, almost fearful, which made her look a whole lot more like a girl than the threatening captain persona she always tried to present, but Tarin wasn't sure what she could be afraid of. He removed his hands anyway, though, muttering, "… I'm sorry."
"Why didn't you tell me in the first place?" her voice was more than hurt, but not quite broken, like it had shattered and she was already trying to piece it together again.
"I know I should have," he scratched his neck, "I just couldn't bring myself to tell you. I don't know why, though."
"Maybe, you were…" she stopped herself.
"I can't thank you enough for coming with me."
"Of course I came with you," she murmured, giving him a wistful, sidelong glance; then she averted her eyes, trying to look anywhere but his direction. "How could I say no to my best friend? Especially when he comes to me with a job that has a refreshing adventure built into it? Ha! It reminds me of the time when we─" Captain Stirling's tongue turned to stone when an object in the distance caught her eye, and she quickly produced a spyglass tied to her belt.
"What is it?" Tarin questioned, squinting his eyes in attempts to locate the strange object.
She handed the miniature telescope to him, so he could see the silhouette of a black airship. "It appears that we have located what you have lost so much sleep over, my prince. We have found Krono's Revenge."

You might of seen lots of Jordi El Niño Polla getting his cock fucked by lots of hot MILF. The reason for this is that he looks like a small boy. His small frame and skinny body make him a great choice to cast as a vulnerable step son who gets fucked by his step mom.
Also her does have a big cock that really stands out against his skinny male porn star body. So when you see his scene used as porn adverts, they really grab your attention. I have even seen him being picked up like a child in some adverts. His small head makes even the biggest pair of tits even bigger on camera.

I have just bought a 1995 328i se with the manual twin climate control, the fan will only blow on speeds 3-4 and when i turn the directional knob air only comes out of the windscreen vents. The other issue is that the temperature gauge goes up as it should to half way but when my speed or the engine revs drop so does the temperature gauge and there is not very hot air coming from the vents even when set to max?. Sorry for the length of this thread. Can someone help or at least shed some light on these issues?.
Thanks. Skippy

BOBBI BROWN Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick (Tuxedo Black) & Luminous Moisturising Treatment Foundation
Not so long ago, I got to play with two new products from Bobbi Brown – the Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick in Tuxedo Black and the Luminous Moisturising Treatment Foundation in Sand #2.
After being impressed by Bobbi Brown Long Wear Eye Pencil back in 2012, I had equally great results with the Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick which worked really well as a cream shadow base under eyshadow, and as eyeliner when applied with an eyeliner brush. It applies creamy at first and is easy to blend into a wash of colour, but once it sets it stays on really well throughout the day without much fading.
What they say
Effortless and high impact-that's the essence of NEW Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick. This do-it-all formula glides on tug-free and can be used to shade, define, smoke up and highlight eyes. In subtle to eye-popping shades that last for up to 8 hours without creasing, flaking or fading, it's a stroke of genius. Just swipe on and go.
Normally I'm not really into cream shadows, but after reading Paris B's cream shadow stick comparison post I'm intrigued to try Laura Mercier next.
It has been many years since I last used Bobbi Brown foundation, as the last formula I tried didn't agree with my skin. But I really can't help myself when a new foundation arrives in the mail and decided to give it a go.
I wasn't brave enough to wear this continuously, but on the days that I did try the Bobbi Brown Luminous Moisturising Treatment Foundation, I was impressed by how well it concealed redness and gave my skin a luminous glow. The coverage is quite sheer and Sand #2 is a little too warm for my complexion, but nevertheless the before & after pic shows how fresh it makes my skin look afterwards.
What they say
Foundation meets skincare. Bobbi's revolutionary 2-in-1 foundation utilizes Light Reflecting Technology to instantly give skin natural luminosity without traditional pearls. The formula's effect: skin looks instantly radiant, plumped and moisturized with flawless wear that never looks cakey or dry – a long wearing foundation that's great even for dry skin. Glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and muru muru seed butter boost skin's moisture immediately and long-term, while milk thistle extract and natural collagen stimulators visibly lift and firm for suppler, smoother skin.
Have you tried Bobbi Brown or Laura Mercier cream shadodw sticks?
These products were provided for consideration.

"I don't know if you'd say fortunate," he said. "We put ourselves in this mess that we're in right now, and we have to dig out of it."
But the shovel won't have to work overtime to do it.
Despite struggling with a 3-5 record, despite losing three of their last four and despite winning one road game halfway through the season, the Chargers are only one game out of first.
And if anyone saw how badly the division-leading Broncos played on Sunday in their loss to the Dolphins, it's clear overtaking them isn't an insurmountable task.
OG Kris Dielman
Nick Laham/Getty
"It helps that (the other teams) haven't taken advantage of it," Dielman said. "So it's time for us to get on a roll and hope they don't and get to the top of our division and get to the playoffs."
That task is made easier with the Chargers having five of the final eight games at Qualcomm Stadium. Three of the four games involved AFC West teams, including two dates with the last-place Chiefs, the first of which comes Sunday at the "Q."
As if on cue, Dielman said the Chargers are tuning everyone out and concentrating on getting it right with their play.
"It's frustrating, not because people set high expectations," Dielman said. "We're the ones in the room, and the people in our room are the only ones who believe in us.
"We're disappointed because we're 3-5. I really could (not) care less what other people think about us."
--QB Philip Rivers is looking to duplicate his first half in which he was among the leaders in passing touchdowns and rating. Rivers' game could even go up a notch if the Chargers, as expected, are able to establish the running game. Rivers is having a sensational season, which is more impressive considering he is coming back from a serious knee injury.
--RB LaDainian Tomlinson has the fewest yards (551) through the first eight games of any of his eight seasons, but one needs to look beyond those numbers. Tomlinson is coming off a game in which he collected 170 total yards and showed great burst on a few of his spin moves. His toe is no longer a factor, and he could be primed for a big second half.
RB Darren Sproles
Donald Miralle/Getty
--TE Antonio Gates is back, and that is big news for the Chargers. Not that Gates had gone anywhere, but it was obvious for the first six or seven games that it wasn't the Gates who set the gold standard at tight end. Gates is moving well again and getting the separation, which separates him from nearly every other NFL tight end.
--WR Vincent Jackson is healthy and playing at a consistent level -- two things that held him back in the past. Jackson's 538 receiving yards, with a team-high 17.9-yard average, tells the story. He could be even more productive with Chris Chambers returning.
--WR Chris Chambers has put his sprained ankle behind him and is back at full speed. Chambers not only has five scoring catches, but his presence on the field opens routes for Vincent Jackson and other teammates. He only has 16 catches, but five have gone for touchdowns.
--WR Malcom Floyd likely will see his playing time diminish with Chris Chambers back in action. That said, he gained the coaches' confidence when filling in, and his eight catches produced two touchdowns. He'll stay in the mix.
--WR Buster Davis, a first-round pick last year, needs to show he was able to get fit during the bye week. The team has grown increasingly frustrated with his nagging injuries -- the same rap he had in college. He is falling fast from the team's radar.
--FB Jacob Hester is contributing on special teams but nowhere else. He has only two carries, and the last one was a fumble, so the coaches aren't sold on him yet.
--FB Mike Tolbert has been getting blown up on blocks, and some wonder if he has the size to take on the defender at the point of attack to spring RB LaDainian Tomlinson. He needs to improve his game -- or maybe the undrafted rookie is already at the top of his game and is overmatched.
--OLB Jyles Tucker played in the last game after missing three with a hamstring injury. The club hopes he knocked off the rust in that loss to the Saints in London and will be a factor going forward under new defensive coordinator Ron Rivera.
--SS Clinton Hart isn't having a good year, as he's displayed shoddy tackling and often been out of position. To be fair, he is playing with a recently repaired broken hand that restricts his ability to wrap up, but he needs to improve big time if the team is going to rid itself of the NFL's worst pass defense.
--ILB Tim Dobbins isn't giving up the job he took from Matt Wilhelm in the starting lineup. Dobbins brings a physical presence to the middle and has been a reason why the run defense has improved of late.
--CB Antonio Cromartie is hoping the bye gave him enough time off to get his ailing hip right. However, he was limited in the first practice back, and the injury has proven not to be easy to shake. Cromartie's coverages and tackling have been below par on a consistent basis.
--DE Igor Olshansky could see his playing time reduced with Ryon Bingham getting more work. Olshansky is having little impact, and it comes at the worst possible time for him, as he is in his contract year.
--DT Jamal Williams has had three solid games in a row, and that is a huge key to the Chargers getting back on track. Williams had two offseason knee surgeries and was slow to rise into shape. He's back, and that's good news for the Chargers with him clogging the middle.

Two long time friends who love to travel, entertain, and have some fun. They decided to buy a little piece of Prescott to offer a place for folks who love to live life the same way. We hope you enjoy our home.
Kelli Berry purchased this chalet in 2014
It's perfectly located in Prescott with a quick and healthy walk to Whiskey Row. You may have seen some of the old Whiskey Row structures in some old spaghetti westerns. Great restaurants are sprinkled all about the square. Our home is a safe and convenient place for your pooch and our house has a great and relaxing feel.
Having your dog along for the fun, Morning walks, coffee on the balcony, wind in the pines, BBQ's, horseshoe competitions, reading a book in the hammock, cooking, kayaking at Goldwater or Watson or Lynx Lake.
First chance I have had to get back to you. We had a great time. The house was perfect. You have done a great job. We felt very comfortable almost like it was home. Just a lot cooler than Phoenix! The separate bedrooms / floors and guest cottage. It really works for a group. We never felt like we were on top of each other, except maybe in the kitchen! Oh well I guess I couldn't help with the dishes! LOL. The yard worked perfect for the dogs. That was such a big plus.
Again a big thank you from our family. We will be back hopefully in December.
Take care.
We visit Prescott from Phoenix several times a year and have had the pleasure of staying at Cory Pines a few times. This is truly a home away from home. The layout of the house is perfect with 2 bedrooms (both with balconies!) & 1 bath upstairs then a single bedroom plus the additional detached sleeping quarters & 1 bath downstairs.
The back patio is definitely where we spend most of our time and our fur-babies feel just as "at home" as we do with the doggie door and fenced yard. The hammock is perfect for an afternoon nap and it's just a 1-mile downhill walk to Whiskey Row!
We have enjoyed every stay at Cory Pines and can't wait until we can visit again!
Our family stayed at Cory Pines for 3 days and had a wonderful time. The neighborhood is quiet, neighbors are great, (we met several) and it's close to downtown. The house is darling inside, with comfortable beds, a well appointed kitchen and plenty of seating for everyone. Our dog had a wonderful time as well. The outdoor doggy area was great as it has artificial turf which really cut down on the mud being tracked into the house when we'd let the dog out (it rained the day we arrived). The kids enjoyed s'mores in the fire pit in the evening while my husband and I relaxed on the couch. There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out. It's a lovely property and we're looking forward to staying at Cory Pines again soon.
Cory Pines was truly a dream come true! The home is even more charming than the pictures show. The area is very quiet and private. The house is very well stocked and adorably decorated. The love the owners have for this property is plain to see! Our chihuahuas had a great time playing in the enclosed dog area. What an awesome amenity that is for pet lovers:) We spent a week in Prescott and came back so relaxed and happy. Very quaint town with lots to do! Awesome vacation !
We loved our weekend in Prescott. We took our dog and she had her own dog run area. The house had everything we needed. Modern day visit to grandmas. Super quiet neighborhood. Could walk to town and taxi back for $5. Loved it!!
Prescott is a fantastic walking town and staying in Cory Pines adds to the total enjoyment. We loved being able to walk downtown with our hounds and enjoy the many pet friendly patios for breakfast or lunch.
The house is well equipped with conveniences of washer and dryer, cable TV, Internet, kitchen wares, etc. Plenty of clean linens.
Our dogs are used to using a doggie door so they loved the freedom of going inside and outside into the fenced patio and turf yard. A great get away for us and the dogs and MUCH cooler weather than our home in Austin.
Thank you for the lovely stay in your home.
The morning we arrived we found that due to an unusually bad lightning storm there was no power in the house. We called the owner and she immediately went into action, calling her housekeeper to come over to help if possible, she contacted the power company and gas company and within minutes people started to arrive to search out the problem. The main breaker was the problem and once identified was quickly repaired.
The owner was fantastic in getting us taken care of and her housekeeper was especially helpful. although this problem was in no way the owners fault she took the initiative and stayed on it to resolution!
The home itself was immaculate, well furnished, plenty of amenities, the kitchen nicely appointed, and obviously made to be a home not just some rental. The fenced in area for pets was tremendous! Our dog had a ball running around playing and just being a dog. This pet area was a great idea.
In a way I didn't want to write a review because now everyone who sees this online would be crazy not to stay at such a great place. However, the owner deserves to have as many renters as possible because she really does care about you having a great experience at her place!
We will be back if at all possible. Truly wonderful place.

Music and lyrics: Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova
Book: Enda Walsh
John Frost et al, Melbourne Theatre Company
Princess Theatre, from October 4
Commercial musical theatre tends to gravitate towards the lavish spectacular (think Wicked or King Kong) or the jukebox musical (think Jersey Boys or Mamma Mia!) that exploits nostalgia for familiar hits of yesteryear. Once carves out a quite different, and refreshing, niche.
Based on a low-budget 2006 film from John Carney, the musical scooped up eight Tony Awards by almost reversing the jukebox formula. Its original songs feel like hits of the instant, and the story rests on the magic of discovering a rock star in the making.
Girl meets boy in Dublin. Over an electric few days, she recognises and nurtures his soaring talent for song and badgers him into pursuing it, all the while nursing a broken heart of her own. It's a simple, soulful rom-com, shot through with melancholy and magnetism, schmaltz and hilarity.
And it seduces you from the outset, when the audience is invited to share a drink on stage with the performers, amid festive spirit and wall-to-wall folk music. (The entire cast play instruments, and the infectious music seems to leap in around and from Enda Walsh's unusually compact script, as if it were an extension of the language.)
Without two fantastic leads, the show would be nowhere. And they're great. Tom Parsons' lanky, shy, slightly shambolic presence is utterly transformed by his raw and rangy voice; the passion and longing amplified by being summoned from such an improbable source. Madeleine Jones gives a lightning comic performance as the blunt Czech girl who discovers him, and is entrancing on piano and in the breathtaking vocal duets.
The supporting cast make a vivid comic ensemble. Colin Dean as a romantically hapless music shop owner and Anton Berezin as a bank manager with an appalling voice are both laugh-out-loud funny.
There's also a household of mad Czechs: Susan-ann Walker as the girl's imposing mother leads them in a rambunctious and entertaining Czech folk interlude; Amy Lehpamer is a smoking presence as a girl on the prowl; Brent Hill's crazy slapstick humour is enjoyably larger than life.
The design is atmospheric but unobtrusive, focusing attention on the performers. And you can't help but admire John Tiffany's direction, which beguiles the eye and crafts, without much fanfare, an enveloping sense of musical community that navigates expertly between understatement and theatrical artifice, slovenliness and precision.
If there's a criticism, it's that the show is a bit lopsided. The exposition slows after interval, and doesn't match the vigour and musical splendour of the first half.
Not that it matters much. The opening night performance received an immediate and spontaneous standing ovation; the applause lasted several minutes. If that's anything to go by, this endearing and unusual musical should win over even those who don't have a taste for romantic comedy.

I really like the "V" emblem - so I decided to add one to the dash. I'm diggin' it.
(It's funny how much of a kick I get out of any silly little mod I do to this car - it reminds me of adding a piece of chrome to the Harley.)

Its your car, so as long as you like it.
Not my cup of tea, sorry.
Looks ok to me. Hopefully it doesn't kill the passenger in case of an airbag deployment.
That placement is about the best, IMHO ... if you're going to do it.
It's exactly where I had mused about putting one. I declined.

i like it , i placed mine lower.. i dont get it .. whats not to like..
nice phone mount, who makes it?
Thanks! The phone mount is just from Verizon - generic to the Droid. But I had the charger hard-wired.
I like it. I was thinking about doing the same thing.
I like it, but mine would have to be more subtle, like the sts-v dash... I wonder if you could get that small emblem off the plate of the sts replacement...
Like shadys placement a bit more,it follows the contour better like the trunk emblem..
I don't really like the V badge inside either...
IMO, if you want the V logo somewhere in the car, floormats are the best looking option.
Everything that's right with the V emblem on the STS-V (beautiful!) is what's wrong with that big ole V you guys are putting on here. Way too tacky. But that's just this man's opinion so please take it as such.

New Poster: Lars Von Trier's 'Melancholia'
Posted on Thursday, April 28th, 2011 by Russ Fischer
A new film from grand provocateur Lars Von Trier is always a big deal. And so we're hanging on every little revelation about Melancholia, the apocalyptic drama featuring Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg as sisters who are stressing their way through a wedding and life in general just as a previously unknown planet is found to be on a collision course with Earth.
We saw the trailer a couple weeks ago and now there is a poster that looks like the cover to an Italian library edition of the film's novelization. (Or more properly, as many have pointed out, a wedding invitation.) Check out the big version after the break. Read More »

For some time now, air travelers particularly those on the domestic scene have been subjected to hardship inflicted on them by the non-availability of aviation fuel and the subsequent flight delay and cancellation by the domestic airlines.
While many of the passengers have become miserable with the unstable situation, the airlines are at the receiving end with passengers mounting pressure on them even as they go in search of Jet A1, the other name for aviation fuel.
Some of the airlines had raised the alarm of how the commodity has continued to be unavailable despite the astronomical price the oil marketers sell it.
Presently, the product is selling for as high as N180 per litre in Lagos while it sells for between N195 and N200 in other places like Abuja and Kano.
Arik Air had in the past weeks cried out over the negative effects the non-availability of the commodity has on its operations which the management claimed if not tackled urgently may hinder the operations of the airline.
According to the airline, since the beginning of this year, Nigeria has been grappling with inadequate supply of aviation fuel leading in most cases to severe shortage of the product and consequently the disruption of flight operations.
Dana Air is another domestic operator that has complained about the scarcity of aviation fuel which it said had not really helped its flight services to the flying public.
Just like the two, Medview Airline though has not cancelled or delayed its flights based on the agreement the airline has with its oil marketer.
While the airline is sacrificing so much to keep its operations ongoing, it is doing so at a great expense of having to buy the commodity at a very high rate.
Unfortunately, the rate at which the airlines are being forced to delay or cancel their flights with passengers getting agitated across the airports is heating up the challenges confronting the sector.
The situation is which already setting passengers against the airlines is reached its peak in the week with passengers said to have engaged some airline workers in physical combat over flight delays.
While passengers have the right to ask questions over flight delays or cancellations, it is also important to realise that the airlines do not produce the commodity but are mere consumers.
Left for the airlines, they will prefer to avoid flight delays or cancellations since regular operations mean more money to them, therefore, the blame for the present situation should not be put on them but on the oil marketers and the government.
It is in line with this that the Crucial Moment is supporting the call by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) on passengers who to exercise restraint as against the ongoing reports of passengers' rage and violence which have resorted to wanton destruction of certain facilities at the airports.
The NCAA should however go beyond appealing to passengers, but prevail on government to urgently meet with the oil marketers to resolve this issue which has become an albatross to domestic airline operations in Nigeria.
The airlines are unnecessarily losing money to the situation amidst other economic challenges confronting them.
Obviously, the country has become very unfriendly to the domestic airlines particularly the few existing ones still struggling to keep the sector running.
While the airlines are doing everything possible to keep air transport going, government should play its own part by ensuring a more friendly environment for private business.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
He has not had any contact or offered any support financial or otherwise since 2008. I do not wish to do a parenting plan or receive child support in any way. I am married now and my husband is the only "father" my son knows. We want to legally change his name to match ours and since the last time I spoke with the biological father (08) he was adamantly against it I let it go. It's been several years and we have since had another son and I would really like my family to be whole. At this point I feel like he has no grounds to even fight me for custody but I am no lawyer... how do I solve this?
The rights of the biological father are normally not terminated except in a CPS case, or an adoption proceeding. There is a fairly streamlined procedure for adoption by a step-parent (your husband). It's always best to consult with a good family law attorney to discuss the details before you act.

Baglung Forests Get Cash from UK for Cutting Carbon
By Dilip Paudel
Two community forests in Baglung have received financial support from a UK-based organization, Plan Vivo, for their significant contribution to carbon reduction.
Stating that the forests in Resh and Damak VDCs have contributed to environmental balance by helping to compensate for carbon emissions, the carbon trading organization provided Rs 600,000 as the first phase of an ´environmental compensation service.´ Talking to Repulica, President of Resh Community Forest Sharada Thapa said it was a matter of pleasure for all members of the forest users group to be acknowledged and supported by a foreign organization. "We did not know at all that we would be getting aid from a foreign country for preserving our own forests," she quipped. "This has certainly encouraged us!" Plan Vivo noted that the forests were ahead in plantat ion and in forest and waters sources preservation, among other effective forest conservation measures. As news of the financial support for forests spread, other community forest members have become equally excited. President of Malu Community Forest Muktiram Thapa said that they have tried their best to preserve the water sources in that forest. "We have constructed a pond with a capacity of 170,000 liters within the forest area, "he said, adding, "We are mindful that there should be no lack of water for wild animals and birds". Interestingly, environmental issues have gripped locals here. According to Deputy Manager of Ruprantaran Nepal Interim Forest Project Lilaraj Paudel, a 10-year plan has been framed to carry out environment friendly activities at the initiative of locals. "How much carbon the forests in Resh and Damek actually reduce is under investigation," he informed, adding that the youths in the two VDCs have started working even more efficiently after learning about the compensation paid to the two community forests. Similarly, Secretary of Community Forest Users Federation Prem Lamichhane said forests are not only contributing to environment but also providing several schemes to better the income levels of locals. "The community forests are providing good income generating opportunities to people below the poverty line." He added that locals are also aware about the importance of herbal medicines found in the forests. "They are keen to preserve such plants."

Problem Resurfaces in Kaligandaki 'A'
By Janu Pangeni
Electricity generation in the largest hydropower project of the country Kaligandaki 'A' is likely to be affected as a problem has surfaced in one of the three gates of its dam.
Technicians at the project said the gate's concrete I-beam is damaged and water is leaking out from there. Power generation in the project was halted for 48 hours during early summer this year and again for six hours recently after a similar problem appeared in another gate. "Power generation in the project may come to a halt again if there is any delay in repairing the gates," said a technician. The project's chief Madan Timilsina said their plan to carry out maintenance work was affected as no suitable company was selected from the tender process initiated by the project's office in Kathmandu. "No one showed willingness to submit applications when the tender was announced for the first time and then no suitable company applied in the second announcement," he said. "The office is now announcing the tender for the third time."

'Enforce Code of Conduct in Public Transport'
A code of conduct should be enforced effectively in the public transport for controlling violence against women in public transport.
Speaking in an interaction on public transport and violence against women organized by Action Works Nepal and Outline Media here on Sunday, the stakeholders stressed on the need of enforcing the code of conduct effectively in the public transport and taking strong legal action against the offenders. Former Minister for Labour and Transport Management and Nepali Congress leader, Ramesh Lekhak said although adequate legislation is in place for controlling violence against women in the public transport sector, their implementation aspect is weak. "Violence in public transport sector is also included under the workplace violence, and women victims of violence in public transport could file complaints under this provision," he said. Maoist CA member Devi Khadka stressed the need of women empowerment for reducing all forms of violence against women including the violence against them in public transport. "It is not the code of conduct that will reduce the violence against women; there is a need for changing social attitude towards women," she suggested. CA members Shanti Adhikari, Meera Pun and Shanta Chaudhary stressed enforcing a code of conduct in public transport effectively. Chairperson of Action Works Nepal, Radha Paudel presented the findings of a research study on violence against women in public transport. Member of the National Women's Commission, Mona Ansari, Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIGP), Bimala Thapa, representatives of various governmental and non-governmental organizations and women's rights activists participated in the interaction.

Bike Registration up Four-Fold
Festival season boost to bike sales resulted in registration of new bikes soaring four times in the Bagmati zone.
According to the data received from Department of Transport Management (DoTM), 17,970 bikes were registered in Bagmati zone in the month of October-November whereas the sale was limited to 4,158 units in the month of September-October. "Sale of bikes in the last month is better than expected and it certainly indicated an improvement in the market conditions," said Saurabh Jyoti, president of Nepal Automobile Dealers Association (NADA). Automobile market in the country has been facing a slump in sales for a year now. The government has already collected Rs 389,950,099 in revenue from the Bagmati zone in the current fiscal year. "Sale was satisfactory this month except for the fact that we would prefer consistent growth instead of this scenario," said Jyoti. Because of the inconsistent growth this month, some automobile companies could not meet the market demand. "We were not able to supply enough Pulsar 220 because the demand was much higher than we had expected," said Ashish Sharma, showroom manager of Bajaj Showroom, Teku. Dealers cannot make an equilibrium with demand and supply in these haphazard conditions, which create a long-term problem to the companies. "Sometimes, even the market image of a brand can take some beating if supply is not enough," said Jyoti. However, compared to last year´s figures for the same period, automobile market is not out of the troubled waters yet. Sales of two-wheelers have been hit by almost 20 percent. In order to welcome improving market conditions, NADA along with the government bodies are working on road extension, traffic management, minimizing accidents and other road related issues. "As a part of our social corporate responsibility, we are working together to make it possible. The government is also supportive and has allocated high amount of budget for road reforms," said Jyoti.

245 Megawatts Power Import from India Only by 2013
By Akanshya Shah
India and Nepal have agreed to convene the Power Exchange Committee meeting between 14 and 15 December to address the power crisis faced by Nepal. This will be followed by ministerial level water talks between the two neighbors early next year.
The PEC will determine the technical aspects and explore all possibilities for supply of 100 MW power to Nepal immediately through maintenance and other works from various points available within three months. "In addition, the two sides are working on the possibility of importing 145 MW additional power from India to meet the demand in Nepal," Sher Singh Bhatt, the spokesperson of Nepal Electricity Authority and the member of visiting delegation to India told Republica. In totality India and Nepal would work out all possibilities of importing to Nepal a total of 145 MW additional power in two years timeframe. India and Nepal recorded the 12-point meeting minutes in the conclusion of the two-day JCWR (Joint Committee on Water Resources) meeting here in New Delhi. The sixth JCWR has reviewed the whole gamut of water issues between Nepal and India, including the controversial Koshi, Mahakali and Gandak treaties, Keshav Dhoj Adhikari, the spokesperson of Department of Electricity Development informed Republica. In particular, the two sides agreed to complete the Detail Project Report of Koshi high dam project within two years. The Terms of Reference of the Pansheswor Development Authority would be finalized by Indian cabinet within three months. Power Trade Agreement is also soon to be finalized as Nepal has already submitted the draft of the proposal and is awaiting India's go ahead. India has also promised the much-needed financial assistance to complete the cross-border transmission line projects. The minutes were signed by Energy secretary Balananda Poudel on behalf of Nepal and Dhruv Bijay Singh, a secretary at water resource ministry of India, on behalf of the 15-member Indian delegation. Speaking to Republica after the signing ceremony, secretary Singh said, "We must move ahead positively by keeping aside all past differences," adding, "We want to work in close corporation with Nepal to take forward the feasible hydropower projects ahead." The meeting has been termed "successful" and "positive" by both the sides. This is seen as a direct fallout of the goodwill visit of Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai last month to India.

Govt Plan to Address Fuel Woes
Minister for Commerce and Supplies Lekhraj Bhatta today said the government is mulling over ways to deal with the shortage of petroleum products in the country.
"Shortage of petroleum products is natural as we have to import these products. The government is thinking of ways to address the shortage," Bhatta said, adding that dependency on fossil fuel can be reduced by tapping solar energy and generating hydropower. Minister Bhatta was speaking at the concluding ceremony of the Second National Industrial and Trade Fair and Agriculture and Tourism Festival that FNCCI (Rupandehi) had held in Bhairahawa today. At the programme, other speakers demanded that the government control smuggling of goods from across the border and develop infrastructure in Rupandehi to attract more tourists.

Kyoto Protocol a "Thing Of The Past", Says Canada
By David Ljunggren
Canada dismissed the Kyoto Protocol on climate change on Monday as a thing of the past, but declined to confirm a media report it will formally pull out of the international treaty before the end of this year.
Although the Conservative government walked away from its Kyoto obligations years ago, a formal withdrawal would deal a symbolic blow to global talks to save the agreement, which opened in Durban, South Africa on Monday. Canada says it backs a new global deal to cut emissions of greenhouse gases, but insists it has to cover all nations, including China and India, which are not bound by Kyoto's current targets. Although Japan and Russia share Canada's view, and the United States never ratified Kyoto, no nation has yet formally renounced the treaty. "Kyoto is the past," Environment Minister Peter Kent told reporters in Ottawa, describing the decision by Canada's previous Liberal government to sign on to the protocol as "one of the biggest blunders they made." The Conservatives who green groups say are recklessly pushing development of the Alberta oil sands and ignoring the environment complain the Liberals signed Kyoto and then did nothing to stop the country's emissions from soaring. "What we know is that we cannot comply with it ... that's a fact," Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver told reporters. CTV News said Ottawa would announce its formal withdrawal from Kyoto on December 23, once the Durban talks are over. "I'm neither confirming nor denying (the report)," said Kent, who announced Canada would spend C$600 million ($583 million) over the next five years to help improve air quality. Peter Julian of the New Democrats said Kent's presence at Durban would be a total charade. "He's going to go there to obstruct, bury progress, derail the discussions and act like an environmental vandal," Julian told the House of Commons.
Canada has long been the focus of environmentalists' ire and regularly wins "Fossil of the Day" awards at major international meetings. "Countries should be asking themselves why Canada is sitting at the Kyoto negotiating table with a secret plan to formally withdraw from the protocol mere weeks after the talks end. This move is a slap in the face to the international community ... Shame on Canada," said Hannah McKinnon of Climate Action Network Canada.

Qatar, Greenhouse Gas Titan, Will Host Next U.N. Climate Summit
By John M. Broder
The Persian Gulf nation of Qatar has been selected as the site of next year's United Nations climate change meeting, edging out South Korea. The announcement came as this year's meeting opened in Durban, South Africa, with delegates from 194 nations facing growing concerns about rising global temperatures and more frequent climate-related catastrophes.
The announcement from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change said that Qatar and South Korea would work closely to mold the agenda for next year's meeting, known as the 18th annual Conference of the Parties, or COP 18. The meetings rotate among regions. The 2009 meeting was held in Copenhagen; last year's meeting was in Cancún, Mexico. "I congratulate these two countries on their commitment to work together in the lead-up to and during the COP," said Christiana Figueres, the Costa Rican diplomat who heads the U.N.F.C.C.C. "Both countries are leaders in their own ways, and can generate strong synergies to put the world on a more climate-safe path." The press release does not mention that Qatar, which sits atop vast natural gas deposits, has the highest per-capita greenhouse gas emissions in the world, according to the United Nations Statistics Division. Qatar's 2007 annual per-capita emissions of 55 tons were nearly three times those of the United States.

Carbon Credit Market for HFC-23 Racked by Fraud
By Jeremy Hance
An effort to decrease emissions of the super greenhouse gas HFC-23 has led to a largely-false carbon market that should be eliminated, says the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA).
HFC-23 is a byproduct of the refrigerant HCFC-22, which is currently being phased out under the Montreal Protocol for its ozone-depleting and greenhouse gas properties. However, the effort to reduce HFC-23 through a carbon market has been hampered by companies in India and China producing extra HFC-23 just so they can capture and destroy it—and receive lucrative carbon funds. "Indian producers have recently reported revenue from HFC-23 credits to be double the sales of the actual refrigerant HCFC-22," explains Natasha Hurley, campaigner with EIA, in a press release. To deal with this fraudulent market, the UN Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has proposed cutting the allowable emissions credits by two-thirds. However, EIA says this doesn't go far enough. "[It] does nothing to fix this absurd subsidy which is not only damaging to the reputation of the CDM but also blocking international efforts to deal with all HFCs cost-effectively under the Montreal Protocol," Hurley says. In the US and Europe, manufacturers voluntarily capture and destroy HFC-23, which has a warming potential 1,810 times that of carbon dioxide. "On balance, HFC-23 crediting has already caused more harm than good for global climate, and clearly the only way to fix the HFC-23 methodology is to eliminate it," said Samuel LaBudde, EIA senior campaigner.

Abrupt Permafrost Thaw Increases Climate Threat, Experts Say
As the Arctic warms, greenhouse gases will be released from thawing permafrost faster and at significantly higher levels than previous estimates, according to survey results from 41 international scientists published in the Nov. 30 issue of the journal Nature.
Permafrost thaw will release approximately the same amount of carbon as deforestation, say the authors, but the effect on climate will be 2.5 times bigger because emissions include methane, which has a greater effect on warming than carbon dioxide. The survey, led by University of Florida researcher Edward Schuur and University of Alaska Fairbanks graduate student Benjamin Abbott, asked climate experts what percentage of the surface permafrost is likely to thaw, how much carbon will be released and how much of that carbon will be methane. The authors estimate that the amount of carbon released by 2100 will be 1.7 to 5.2 times larger than reported in recent modeling studies, which used a similar warming scenario. "The larger estimate is due to the inclusion of processes missing from current models and new estimates of the amount of organic carbon stored deep in frozen soils," Abbott said. "There's more organic carbon in northern soils than there is in all living things combined; it's kind of mind boggling." Northern soils hold around 1,700 billion gigatons of organic carbon, around four times more than all the carbon ever emitted by modern human activity and twice as much as is now in the atmosphere, according to the latest estimate. When permafrost thaws, organic material in the soil decomposes and releases gases such as methane and carbon dioxide. "In most ecosystems organic matter is concentrated only in the top meter of soils, but when arctic soils freeze and thaw the carbon can work its way many meters down, said Abbott, who studies how carbon is released from collapsed landscapes called thermokarsts a process not accounted for in current models. Until recently that deep carbon was not included in soil inventories and it still is not accounted for in most climate models. "We know about a lot of processes that will affect the fate of arctic carbon, but we don't yet know how to incorporate them into climate models," Abbott said. "We're hoping to identify some of those processes and help the models catch up."
Most large-scale models assume that permafrost warming depends on how much the air above the permafrost is warming. Missing from the models, say the authors, are processes such as the effects of abrupt thawing that can melt an ice wedge, result in collapsed ground and accelerate additional thawing. "This survey is part of the scientific process, what we think is going to happen in the future, and how we come up with testable hypotheses for future research," Schurr said. "Our survey outlines the additional risk to society caused by thawing of the frozen North and the need to reduce fossil fuel use and deforestation." By integrating data from previous models with expert predictions the authors hope to provide a frame of reference for scientists studying all aspects of climate change. "Permafrost carbon release is not going to overshadow fossil fuel emissions as the main driver of climate change" said Schuur, "but it is an important amplifier of climate change."

Carbon Piracy, Lack of Recognition of Indigenous Rights Undermining REDD in Peru, Alleges Report
Lack of meaningful consultation with indigenous communities over forest carbon projects is causing social conflict and undermining efforts to responsibly reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in Peru under the REDD mechanism, argues a new report released during international climate talks in Durban.
The report, authored by three Peruvian indigenous organizations AIDESEP, FENAMAD and CARE and the Forest Peoples Programme, says that several REDD pilot projects "are already undermining the rights of indigenous peoples, and are leading to carbon piracy and conflicts over land and resources" in Peru. Project developers are roaming the jungle attempting to convince indigenous peoples and local communities to enter in to REDD deals with promises of millions of dollars in return for signing away their rights to control their land and forest carbon to third parties. Many deals are being conducted using strict confidentiality clauses and with no independent oversight or legal support for vulnerable communities. Some of these peoples are not yet fully literate in Spanish, but are being asked to sign complex commercial contracts in English that are subject to English law. Many communities have already come to regret some early deals made with carbon traders and NGOs, and are now attempting to extricate themselves. The report, which cites examples from eight of the 35 active REDD pilot projects covering some 7 million hectares in Peru, says that some communities' lack of secure land rights is a further complication for efforts to establish REDD+ projects in Peru. It notes that some 20 million hectares of indigenous territory in the Peruvian Amazon aren't legally recognized by the Peruvian government, yet some of these areas are now being targeted as "conservation concessions" for REDD projects, potentially restricting the rights of indigenous people to use these lands.
While the report expresses alarm about how REDD is progressing in Peru, it proposes another alternative: use REDD funds to secure indigenous peoples' territories and support community-based efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. "These community and rights-based approaches are cost-effective and proven to protect forests," said a statement issued by AIDESEP. "Only in this way can REDD truly become an opportunity for indigenous peoples instead of a threat," added Alberto Pizango Chota, President of AIDESEP.

US Carbon Capture Project Starts to Bury One Million Tonnes of CO2
An ambitious US carbon capture and storage (CCS) project has begun a three-year trial to pump one million tonnes of CO2 underground.
The Midwest Geological Sequestration Consortium (MGSC) has begun injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) for the first million-tonne demonstration of carbon sequestration in the US. The CO2 will be stored permanently in the Mount Simon Sandstone more than a mile beneath the Illinois surface at Decatur. The MGSC is led by the Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS), part of the Prairie Research Institute at the University of Illinois. "Establishing long-term, environmentally safe and secure underground CO2 storage is a critical component in achieving successful commercial deployment of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology," said Chuck McConnell, Chief Operating Officer for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy (FE). "This injection test project by MGSC, as well as those undertaken by other FE regional partnerships, are helping confirm the great potential and viability of permanent geologic storage as an important option in climate change mitigation strategies." MGSC is one of seven regional partnerships created by the DOE to advance technologies nationwide for capturing and permanently storing greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change. "I want to congratulate the Midwest Geological Sequestration Consortium, the Prairie Research Institute, ADM, and the other partners on this leading-edge demonstration project that has brought the future of clean energy research and technology to the state of Illinois today," said Illinois Governor Pat Quinn. "We are poised to reap the economic and environmental benefits that this public-private partnership has produced. This successful project gives Illinois a competitive advantage to attract green businesses and address our climate change responsibilities."

Financing Battle Emerges at Climate Change Talks
By Arthur Max
International climate negotiators were at odds Tuesday on how to raise billions of dollars to help poor countries cope with global warming. A major shipping group is willing to help, endorsing a proposal for a carbon tax on vessels carrying the world's trade.
Details of the tussle over the funding emerged as the U.N.'s weather agency reported that 2011 was tied as the 10th hottest year since records began in 1850. Arctic sea ice, a barometer for the entire planet, had shrunk to a record low volume, said the World Meteorological Organization. Putting the final touches on what's known as the Green Climate Fund is a top issue at the 192-party U.N. climate conference that was in its second day Tuesday in the South African coastal city of Durban, and one of the keys of a strategy to contain greenhouse gas emissions and keep global warming within manageable limits. The two-week conference is to finalize a plan on managing climate finances, due to scale up to $100 billion annually by 2020. The International Chamber of Shipping, representing about 80 percent of the world's merchant marine, joined forces with aid groups Oxfam and WWF International Tuesday to urge the conference to adopt guidelines for a levy on carbon emissions by ships. Details of any levy would be worked out by the International Maritime Organization, the U.N. agency regulating international shipping, the aid groups and the chamber said in a joint statement. "Shipping has to take responsibility for the emissions and get to grips and drive them down, and they see that the best way to do that it to have a universal charge applied to all ships that is going to generate billions of dollars" to fight climate change, Tim Gore of Oxfam said on the sidelines of the climate conference. About 50,000 cargo ships carry 90 percent of world trade, and most ships are powered by heavily polluting oil known as bunker fuels. Last July the U.N. maritime organization decided that new cargo vessels must meet energy efficiency standards and cut pollution. It was the first climate change measure to apply equally to countries regardless of whether they are from the industrialized or developing world.
At the conference, differences came into focus over the Green Climate Fund. Delegations disagreed about how independent the fund will be, by whom it will be guided over the years, and whether the bulk of the money will come from public funds and government aid or from private sources and investments. A 40-nation committee worked on a draft agreement in several lengthy meetings over the last year, but a consensus at the final meeting last month was blocked by objections from the United States and Saudi Arabia. Now negotiators in Durban must settle the final disputes. "We are going to have a very thorough and open discussion on that very contentious paper," said Pedro Pedroso, the delegate from Cuba. U.S. delegate Jonathan Pershing said Monday the U.S. has "substantive concerns" about the committee's plan, but "we believe these issues can be fixed." Washington wants to ensure that private investments are not hamstrung by bureaucracy and that they can bypass any approval process by governments. The world temperatures report released Tuesday provided a bleak backdrop to negotiators seeking ways to limit pollution blamed for global warming.
2011 has been a year of extreme weather, the WMO reported. Drought in East Africa has left tens of thousands dead; lethal floods submerged large areas of Asia; the United States suffered 14 separate weather catastrophes with damage topping $1 billion each, including severe drought in Texas and the southwest, heavy floods in the northeast and the Mississippi valley, and the most active tornado season ever known. "The science is solid and proves unequivocally that the world is warming," said R.D.J. Lengoasa, the WMO's deputy director, and human activity is a significant contributor. "Climate change is real, and we are already observing its manifestations in weather and climate patterns around the world," he said.

The special discount system was implemented at Samara airport in order to attract new airlines as well as to support those which are now operating in the Samara Region. It provides discounts for the carriers which are going to launch new flights or increase the frequency on the existing destinations.
Discount program requirements and conditions are publicly available and stay the same for all the airlines. The discounts will cover some of the airport charges. Passenger flights launched on the new destinations will be given up to 60% discount during the fist two years, additional flights on the existing destinations will get 40% off, at the same time a special discount for any cargo flight will amount to 40%.
The new program will help not only to make flight geography much wider by adding new destinations but also to attract new carriers to Kurumoch airport and increase the transfer passenger flow and main traffic figures in general.
Incentive program for airlines has been successfully operating at Koltsovo airport since 2009. The carriers are able to bring commercial risks down; at the same time the passengers get best available rates and more opportunities for choosing the preferable destination.
During the January-November period of 2012 Samara Airport handled 1 750 066 passengers recording the 8.6% growth compared to the year-ago period. The number of passengers who travelled on regular and charter flights from Samara considerably climbed. Kurumoch airport saw 1 034 419 checked-in domestic passengers (+4.6%) and 715 654 international travelers (+15%).
Most of the tourists in the last 11 months flew to such Russian cities as Moscow, St. Petersburg and Surgut while those who travelled abroad preferred Dubai, Prague, Frankfurt as well as such leisure destinations as Antalya, Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh.
The expected passenger flow of Samara Airport by the end of the year will closely approach the 2 million mark.
Together with the passenger traffic through Kurumoch, other figures of that period have also increased recently. Mail and cargo traffic (together with transit) was up by 11% year-on-year and amounted to 4 311.2 tones. During the last 11 months the airlines performed 19 494 aircraft movements demonstrating the 5.2% rise when compared with the corresponding period in 2011. The MTOW result recorded at Kurumoch International Airport amounted to 1 255 617 tones that is about 3.5% higher than in the last year.
Such carriers as UTair", "Aeroflot - Russian Airlines", "S7 Airlines","Orenair", "Ural Airlines" experienced the most sizeable growth in the figures of January-November period 2012.
Today all air travelers departing from Kurumoch International Airport can enjoy high speed wireless Internet connection in the common lounges, check-in counters and Business Lounge for free. The 4 Mbps connection speed is now available for all the laptop users waiting for their flight in the passenger terminal.
The Internet service was implemented by the Airport in cooperation with "Samara-Transtelecom" CJSC. Wireless networks of this Company fulfill all the modern connection requirements and are well known for their wide coverage and safety.
In the future Kurumoch Airport is planning to expand the Wi-Fi coverage area and enlarge the range of high technology services for its passengers.
The SITA Departure Control System (SITA DCS) that is an automatic passenger and baggage check-in system implemented at Kurumoch International Airport is now used as a main departure control system of the Airport.
One of the key advantages of the SITA DCS is a capability of through check-in of transfer passengers who have to change their flights on the way of their journey. A transfer passenger who has checked in and dropped the baggage in Samara will get it at the destination point. Thereby the system helps to shorten flight connection time and relieves the passengers of the necessity to pick up the baggage and check in again at transfer airport.
Besides, implementation of new system is currently important due to electronic tickets popularity. The program keeps in touch with the airlines' booking systems and automatically makes the list of passengers who bought the tickets via the Internet.
The SITA DCS is compatible with any booking system and is able to check in passengers and their baggage, perform the aircraft balance and prepare the relevant documentation in accordance with international standards. Implementation of new system upgrades Kurumoch International Airport by changing the local check-in system to the centralized check-in control system for passengers and their baggage.
Kurumoch Airport appreciates the airlines' suggestions and introduces the latest modern technologies of handling process in order to improve the passenger service quality and optimize the work of air carriers operating in the Samara Region. For these purposes Samara airport is also operating such automatic host check-in systems as "SABRE", "Regina", "Astra" and "Pictures".
