Arms Trade Treaty: Statement by Ambassador Ranau
(Near verbatim statement as delivered by Ambassador Jörg Ranau, Head of the German Delegation, at the Plenary discussion of the United Nations Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty)
Mr. President,
We thank you and your team for the tremendous efforts you undertook during the last days and nights.
I align myself with the statement made earlier by the European Union.
With less than 24 hours left before this conference is to agree on an Arms Trade Treaty, we believe that it is high time to find a compromise text that will address the challenges related to the international transfer of conventional arms. We are here to fulfill the mandate that we set ourselves by agreeing on General Assembly Resolution 64/48.
Mr. President,
Our goal is a treaty with high standards to become an obligatory global benchmark.
Your first official draft of this afternoon presents a substantial improvement of the first informal draft of July 24th. You achieved balancing it to a good extent. However, in our view we could work further towards compromise in its entirety. My delegation believes it important that the following elements are reflected in an ATT:
· Firstly, we believe that ammunition should be recognized as a stand-alone category within the section on Scope. Nevertheless I must admit that the way of addressing ammunition has certainly improved and welcome that now export authorizations on this material must be checked against the criteria catalogue. However we advocate for the whole Art. 4 including paragraph 6 to be applied to ammunition. We must recall, in the end it is ammunition that keeps conflicts going on and many delegations in this room have constantly argued in favor of its inclusion. - We certainly regret that the wider category of munitions cannot be found in the present draft-treaty any more.
· Secondly, we also think that exports of parts and components should also be subject to the whole criteria set under Article 4.
· Thirdly, on the criteria section we request the following amendments to be made:
a. A minor change in drafting needs to be applied to Article 4 paragraph 1. In order to be in conformity with the article 1.c on goals and objectives, the last part of the sentence would need to be redrafted to read "would contribute to or undermine international or regional peace, security and stability."
b. For the sake of clarity, the same language should be inserted in the last line of Article 4 paragraph 5, so that in case of a substantial risk of undermining international or regional peace, security and stability export shall also not be authorized.
Mr. President,
Given the efforts that we made during the last years and especially during the last nearly 4 weeks, we hope that an ATT will enjoy not only universality but maintain its relevance for the coming decades.
· Therefore, we must make sure that an ATT is future proof. We must not set the threshold for amendments too high. It must be possible, when necessary, to amend this Treaty to keep it relevant. That is why we request a two-thirds quota to be set as a default in Article 20 paragraph 3.
Mr. President,
· Article 5 paragraph 2 is clearly limiting the application of the Arms Trade Treaty. There might be good reasons to do so and we would certainly recognize the importance that some delegations attach to this paragraph. However, let us not forget that we are trying to negotiate a strong and robust ATT. Let me remind everybody, that the underlying assumption with any international Treaty is that State parties will perform it in good faith. Therefore, we have to make sure that the provisions in this paragraph are applied in accordance with the goals and objectives of the Treaty. We deem it indispensable that exactly this language "in accordance with the goals and objectives" is introduced in both sentences.
Mr. President,
· Finally, we believe that regional economic integration organizations, like the one that my country is a member of, play a significant role in the matter that we discuss here. They have real obligations and they add to the effectiveness of the treaty and thus an added value for their members as well as for all States Parties to the treaty. Such organizations exist in different regions of the world. They become increasingly important. Not to recognize their relevance and excluding them would be a serious mistake. Banning such organizations from joining an ATT is both contravening the facts on the ground and would be a serious obstacle for the overall functioning of an ATT. Accession to the treaty by EU-member states will become more complicated if the EU cannot be party of the treaty itself. Let us not hamper the implementation of an ATT by preventing regional organizations, for political reasons of a bilateral nature - that have nothing to do with the multilateral framework of the ATT - from becoming a Party to this Treaty. We strongly urge you to insert the paragraph which provides for regional organizations to join the Treaty.
Mr. President,
We are convinced that the suggestions I made will find the support of a majority of States in the room. Now let us make a joint effort to conclude our negotiations in a timely and constructive manner.
Mr. President,
You can count on our continuous support.

Chef Sherman shuns high finance for haute cuisine
By Richard Leong
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Bruce Sherman, the head chef and partner at the North Pond restaurant in Chicago, nearly missed out on a culinary career.
The son of a banker, he was poised for a career in finance. But while studying at the London School of Economics, he felt the early pangs for something different and redirected his energy to a career in restaurant management.
Frustrated by the lack of creativity as a manager, he turned his focus on cooking, which steered him to India and France where he perfected his skills.
After several years abroad Sherman returned to his native Chicago where he became the head chef at North Pond and developed his creative modern French cuisine using local organic products.
The 46 year old spoke to Reuters about his passion for cooking and his years in India.
Q: What and who inspires you to cook?
A: "I believe in genetic disposition. I feel there's something genetically that drives me to cook. I also have to give a lot of credit to my mom who's a pretty respectable home cook who made a diverse number of dishes and cuisines when I grew up."
Q: How did you merge your economics background with food? Continued...

While developing extensions to Share, there is a few things in the way of having a perfect setup.
With the upcoming Alfresco SDK 2.0 release, we've shown (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tu641nRGbtQ) that we have a very cool setup that allows rapid development for Alfresco.
Share is getting there, it's good, but it could be so much better.
The main thing right now is the dependency cache, which blocks editing CSS/i18N files. It works in some cases with development mode and client-debug, but it has not been reliable. Being able to configure Share to disable the dependency cache (or at least have it re-generate on every request) would improve the developer experience.
Another thing that we may be able to improve is working with forms. You can change a ton of stuff in share-config-custom.xml and if you do a refresh web scripts it will actually reload it (handy when doing forms). This must somehow be tied into a cache? Can it be reloaded on each request?
- I know that the activiti guys managed to do something similar for their kickstater project (https://gist.github.com/frederikheremans/0a525a660636b92481d4)
I'd say the share-config-custom.xml is a nice-to-have, but the dependency cache stuff needs to happen

I have integrated this new parameter in the SDK 2.0.0 final build and we have some success (i.e. JS are actually reloaded without cache explicit clearing) but as per https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-sdk/issues/248#issuecomment-67860663 i18n and CSS are still not reloaded and require a
POST to /share/page/caches/dependency/clear
before they are actually reloaded. Reopening the issue for further review.
Ole Hejlskov feel free to share more details here.
Clearing the fixVersion as 5.0 has already been tested and released.

rear end differental questions, need knowledge!
ok final drive ive almost got the jist of, like the last gear in the transmission connect to the rear is very important, cause this determines how quick your car can be (acceleration) or top speed. I dont know gear ratios though and what sizes do, so i know the statement, size does matter. Can anyone help me understand the gear ratios and what they can benifit a car in performance?
tci has a page of calculators to figure out what you need
To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
In a V8 motor, each one turn of the crank (360 degrees) there are 4 cylinders that fire. One cylinder fires for each 90 degrees of crank rotation, so there are 4 firings for each full turn (360 degrees). This tells us that in order for all 8 cylinders to fire, we must turn the crankshaft two full revolutions (720 degrees). I'm just trying to get you wrapped around the basics first.
Any internal combustion engine has a basic operating range where it is effective. This range is mostly determined by the camshaft timing. The motor might operate from idle to 4000, making peak torque at 3000 or it might operate from 5000 to 8500, making peak torque at 6500. Since torque is what moves the vehicle, we try to use a torque converter, gear ratio and tire size that will maximize the torque peak to our benefit.
If we have a 3.73:1 rear gear, that means that the crankshaft will turn 3.73 times for each time the tire turns once. Now, since we know that there are 4 power pulses for each revolution of the crank, we can determine that with a 3.73 gear, the tire will receive 14.92 power pulses for each 1 revolution that it makes (4 X 3.73 = 14.92).
Now, let's pull that gear out and install a 4.56:1 gear. If we follow the same thinking and multiply our players, we find that the tire gets 18.24 power pulses for each one turn of the tire.
Now, let's say that this motor is producing 400 ft/lbs of torque at its torque peak. That would mean that each cylinder is producing 50 ft/lbs of torque per power pulse.
With the 3.73 gear, we can see that we have applied 746 ft/lbs of torque to the tire during one turn of the tire. With the 4.56 gear, we can see that we have applied 912 ft/lbs of torque to the tire during one turn of the tire. Will the car accelerate slower or quicker with more torque applied to the tire in the same amount of time?
At the same time, a shorter gear (numerically larger) will get the motor up to its torque peak sooner than a taller gear (numerically smaller), so that more power is applied to the tire sooner.
That's how I see it. If someone else has a better explanation, I would be very interested in reading it. I learn something new every day and today should be no exception.
2.80, 3.00, 3.23 = tall gear
4.10, 4.44, 4.56 = short gear
From thereon, the 3.73:1 of the diff would make 1.865 revolutions at the axle shaft / at the tire.
So as far as for the rotational speed, it will be reduced by the differential gearing. Speaking of rotational force (=torque), the rear end gear ratio is utilized because of it's torque multiplication capability. Numerical example again, look over yonder. Got any Qs just post up.
Never heard of the concept of the power pulses, but then again that doesn't mean it's incorrect
My explanation was aimed at explaining the relative advantages/disadvantages of different rear differential gear ratios and assumed a 1:1 relationship at the transmission for simplicity of explanation.
When the spark plug fires, a pulse of power is applied to the crankshaft. I don't know of another way to say it when trying to explain it to newbies. If you have a better term, post it and I'll use it.
well thats wicked. What if i had 3.73.1 gears, that means 3 to 1, so that would have to displace more torque to both wheels instead of one. Hmm seems good thank you!
I try to understand anything of interest to me down to the micro-details. Concerning the above statement about torque, I am now not sure I understand about each cylinder's role in producing what I understand to be torque, or at least how it is measured.
I always thought torque was a force applied at an instant in time. If I understand your statement about each cylinder producing 1/8 of the rated torque output of the V8, then in order to achieve the full rated torque of the engine, one would have wait until all 8 cylinders have fired (two crank revolutions). It would follow that all that does not happen in one instant of time - it would seem instead to wander into the realm of work done or having moved something over those two revs, which is related to horsepower as I understand it.
The question that I respectfully ask is, if we assume that torque is a force applied at an instant of time, in this example does one cylinder pulse produce a force of 50 lb/ft, or 400? My understanding is that when we put an engine on the dyno, the dyno is measuring torque forces, and mathematically calculating horsepower based on RPM at the instant torque is sampled.
Okay, I'll stop rambling now. Tons of stuff have been written on the relationship between torque and horsepower in automobile engines, not always with consistency hence why I ask at the risk of hijacking the thread.
In any event, I appreciate you taking the time to answer the OP's question at that level of detail.
Ill write that down also, cause it is very usefull.
Any dyno engineers or designers out there?
this would apply to any engine. v10 would have to have 40 ft pounds every cylinder to make 400 ft pounds on one revolution, v12 would have to have 33. ft. Pounds on every other cylinder to one revolution. Meaning it would take more time to let a V 12 take one true revolution.. This is really intresting this means america has built a better engine- V8
this would apply to any engine. v10 would have to have 40 ft pounds every cylinder to make 400 ft pounds on one revolution, v12 would have to have 33. ft. Pounds on every other cylinder to one revolution. Meaning it would take more time to let a V 12 take one true revolution.. This is really intresting this means america has built a better engine for torque- V8
I'm not sure how the nascar guys dyno but they tune every cylinder on an engine. I'm told that each cylinder has it's own compression ratio, spark advance and probably porting.
what was said about torque being a time instant is true. it has absolutely nothing to do with time. torque is just a rotational force. if it was calculated over time, you would get power instead.
no offense, but i also think that the concept of the power pulses is somewhat questionable. you can't just take an engine and divide torque by the number of cylinders and assume that's the torque each individual produces... since we're working with cross-plane 4-stroke V8 here, this means that for each piston at TDC there must be another one at TDC and two more at BDC.
Due to this fact, the rotational force induced by the power stroke of one cylinder (piston forced downwards to BDC after ignition at TDC) is also absorbed, to a certain extent, by the power needed for the suction (intake) stroke on another cylinder. Furthermore, during the same cycle, two pistons would also be doing an upwards motion, either for the exhaust (pumping) stroke, or the compression stroke, which both take off a certain amount of force from the crankshaft as well.
What i'm getting at is this: looking at one cylinder just doesn't make sense. At least when explaining gear ratios
Again, no offense. If anyone else wants to enlighten me why this would still be a good way to look at it, feel free to teach me.
that is true but what about rotating assembly? Wouldnt that turn into energy spinning in place? I mean fifty ft. Pounds of energy on top of each cylinder turning alot of wieght below, doesnt that make any energy?

Fantasy Baseball Morning Update: Ryan Howard returns
After months of trying, I finally got caught up on Breaking Bad last night. Three words: Best. Show. EVER! I just wish I had been as efficient as the guy I know who decided to start watching the series last Friday, and has seen 33 episodes since.
Thursday's strong effort from Edinson Volquez raised our streaming starter record to 53-39 for the season. The weekend picks are Oakland's Tommy Milone (owned in 25.7 percent of FOXSports.com leagues) against the Mariners today, Dillon Gee (9.4 percent owned) versus the Cubs on Saturday, and Cleveland's under-the-radar Zach McAllister (0.2 percent owned) against the Rays on Sunday. McAllister has a 3.93 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP in six starts this season, with 33 strikeouts against seven walks in 36 2/3 innings.
On to the news:
- Phillies 1B Ryan Howard will make his 2012 debut tonight after missing the first three months of the season with an Achilles injury. Howard has been hitting pretty well during his minor-league rehab stint, with 10 hits (including a homer) in 20 at bats. The Phillies have 78 games remaining, so assuming that Howard stays healthy, 15 homers seems reasonable. He's still available in 15.5 percent of FOXSports.com leagues, so check your league's free-agent pool.
- Red Sox 2B Dustin Pedroia has been placed on the DL after his latest thumb injury. The earliest Pedroia can return is July 19, but since he got hurt the first time he hasn't hit much. I wouldn't recommend cutting Pedroia yet, but I'm worried about his fantasy value moving forward.
- The Miami Herald reports that Mike Stanton's knee injury will keep him out of the Marlins' lineup today, with Saturday and Sunday uncertain, and arthroscopic surgery a possibility. Hopefully, we'll know more details over the weekend.
- Dodgers SS Dee Gordon will miss six weeks due to a torn tendon in his right thumb. Gordon has 30 stolen bases this season despite a .280 on-base percentage, which translates to roughly 173 stolen bases for a normal hitter, give or take a few.
- Speaking of elite speed, Reds SS prospect Billy Hamilton has 101 stolen bases in 80 games at Class A, and could be headed to Double A very soon.
- Derek Holland is penciled in to come off the DL and start Saturday for the Rangers.
- As feared, Angels SP Dan Haren has landed on the DL due to a sore back. Haren is aiming for a return during the July 17-19 series at Detroit. Hopefully, his missing fastball will accompany him.
- The Seattle Times reports that the Mariners have recalled slugging, whiff-prone OF Carlos Peguero (24 HR between Triple A and MLB this season), and that the move could lead to the demotion of the disappointing Jesus Montero. AL-only owners should try to grab Peguero.
- After getting two hits and three RBI last night, Royals 1B Eric Hosmer is batting .326 with seven runs and six RBI over his last 11 games. It looks like he finally might be coming around.
- The Braves have placed RP Jonny Venters on the DL with elbow inflammation. It's apparently not too serious.
- Keep your ears open for news about injured Orioles Mark Reynolds (thumb) and Chris Davis (strained trap muscle). Reynolds thinks he'll be able to play tonight.
- It sounds like Astros OF Jordan Schafer has taken up residence in his manager's doghouse. This won't end well.
- Royals SP Luke Hochevar left Thursday's game after five innings because of a sprained ankle. Hochevar isn't scheduled to start again until after the All-Star break, so this is probably nothing to worry about.
- Two months ago, you'd have cared if the Dodgers had activated RP Javy Guerra from the DL. Now, not so much.
- Brewers C Jonathan Lucroy might be only a couple of weeks away from coming off the DL.
- Mets OF Andres Torres might be on his way to the DL due to a sore back.
- After suffering an injury on Tuesday, Pirates OF Alex Presley has been placed on the seven-day concussion DL.
- Drew Storen is still on target to return to the Nationals - as a setup man - next week. Speaking of the Nats, here's an excellent column by Thomas Boswell of the Washington Post about why Stephen Strasburg should be shut down when his innings limit (reportedly 160 or 170) is reached, regardless of whether the team is still in contention. Strasburg's potential shutdown will become the most fascinating story of baseball's second half. Many ex-player analysts are going to have meltdowns over this.
See you back here tomorrow morning.

Sealing a particle board subfloor
I have a loft area that is floored in 4'x4' sections of 3/4" particle board in good condition. We would like to either use this as flooring or put a layer of 4'x8' thin plywood sections over the top of it. Either way we would like to seal it to prevent any spilled water from causing a problem and also to solve drafts and creaking between the boards. Is this possible? How would I go about this? Can I just use the particle board as my flooring with a layer of paint over it?
Honestly I wouldn't use it as flooring, even sealed with a poly, or paint. I have poly-sealed particleboard shelving, etc. in kitchen cabinets with good success, but I don't see it holding up to foot traffic. What is underneath the particleboard? Is it sturdy, any bounce in the floor? Is the floor level? From my experience with remodeling 70's, and 80's built houses, 4' x 8', 5/8" - 3/4" particleboard was used as underlayment installed over a plywood subloor. If it was me, I would look at installing a floating laminate floor, or possibly hardwood - better overall than trying to refinish particleboard.
Underneath are floor joists spaced about 18" apart. The other option would be
To just get hardwood planking to put down but we fear that might be too expensive. We figured a particle board subfloor with plywood planking over the top.
I don't know that there is an effective way to seal it. Particle board will disintegrate with ANY moisture.
You're not going to solve drafts and creaking between the boards with PB and that joist spacing .
I would rip it out and install plywood .
So just rip out the particle board and lay down straight plywood (4'x8' sheets?) over the floor joists? Can i just install large planks over the top of the joists?
Install something on top of the particleboard that is strong enough to be the subfloor as if the particleboard was not there.
Particleboard can fracture under weight and cannot be the subfloor.
Yeah, I am already aware of that as there are already two holes where water leaked in previously. Should I just cut a piece of particle board to replace the ones with the holes and then lay plywood over it? Or is just putting the plywood directly on the floor joists oik?
PB has no holding power . rip it out , install at least 3/4" plywood .
Just a side note, use tongue and groove sub-floor plywood and you won't need to block the edges; http://www.apawood.org/pablog/index....-Floor-Systems

WATCH: 50 Cent's $23 Million Payout
"I couldn't get the leverage I needed to properly launch the project," 50 Cent said of his former record label, Interscope. He told Canada's Business News Network "I went another route" in an interview promoting his new album, Animal Ambition. 50 explained that the best way for him to reintroduce himself with new music would be with an independent release. 50 also explains in the interview how he recently received a check for $23 million from Interscope.

Here's my guess. It's not the most educated of guesses, but I'll give it a go.
The revolver is listed as hammerless, which would mean that it's DAO. Since that's the case, the trigger is probably pretty heavy. Its hard to have an AD when your trigger weighs more than you do.

The ad refers to the fact that you could only discharge the weapon if you pulled the trigger. Using little girls to advertise the fact is a curiosity of the time period.

State high court rules NYC ban on large sodas is illegal
By Joseph Ax
NEW YORK (Reuters) - New Yorkers can now sip their super-sized sodas without worry.
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's plan to limit the sale of large sugary drinks was rejected on Thursday by the state's highest court, which ruled the local health board overstepped its authority in approving the regulation.
The 4-2 ruling from the state Court of Appeals upheld two lower court decisions from last year, siding with the soft drink, restaurant and movie theater industries, which had challenged the law.
"By choosing among competing policy goals, without any legislative delegation or guidance, the Board engaged in law-making and thus infringed upon the legislative jurisdiction of the City Council," wrote Judge Eugene Pigott for the majority.
The law, which was struck down by a state judge in March 2013 one day before it was to take effect, would have barred restaurants, movie theaters and other businesses from selling sugary beverages larger than 16 ounces (473 ml).
The decision Thursday ended the city's final appeal, which was taken up by Bloomberg's successor, Bill de Blasio. But the so-called "soda ban" remained closely associated with Bloomberg, who had previously banned cigarettes from parks and bars and trans fats from restaurants in a broad effort to combat public health problems through regulation.
The soda ban, the first of its kind in the United States, drew national attention, with critics blasting Bloomberg's "nanny state" and public health advocates praising the attempt to fight obesity.
In a statement, de Blasio said he was disappointed but that officials have a "responsibility to address the causes of this epidemic." Continued...

Indonesia - BOGOR, Indonesia (2 July 2013)_CIFOR has made an analysis of new satellite imagery for the area in Riau Province, Sumatra, which appears to have been worst affected by recent fires causing haze problems over Sumatra, Singapore and Malaysia. Although several recent assessments have used NASA's daily fire alerts to locate the fires, we have additionally used higher-resolution imagery from the recently launched Landsat 8 satellite to map fire scars. The Landsat images were recorded on 25 June 2013.
While our analysis is preliminary, it raises a number of interesting and important questions and insights about the location, context and causes of the fire incidents.
We would like to share these observations and associated hypotheses below, and we encourage your feedback.
1. There was a distinct peak in NASA's daily fire alerts during a very short period of time, between 17 and 25 June (Figure 1).
2. We found a strong spatial correspondence between fire alert locations and observed burned areas in the Landsat 8 imagery of 25 June (Figure 2). A total of 100,000 hectares (1,000 km2) of fire scars were mapped within the worst-affected Landsat scene, corresponding to 3% of the total area studied.
3. A very high proportion of the fire scars are on peatland, as opposed to mineral soil (Figure 3).
4. Fire scars are predominantly observed in areas of established plantation land use, both large and small scale. Most June 2013 fires in the studied area have occurred outside natural forests (Figure 4). However, some of the fires appear to have advanced from plantations into adjacent natural forest.
5. Fires occurred both on acacia and oil palm plantation sites with little or no tree cover and on sites that carried standing plantation trees (Figure 5).
6. Observed fire scars were both inside and outside boundaries of concession areas, as determined from available official maps (Figure 6). Some fire scars outside of these concession areas contain patterns that indicate plantation establishment.
7. Many of the June 2013 fire scars are in areas that were classified as natural forest in 2007 (Figure 7).
1. Many of the June 2013 fires are part of the processes of plantation establishment and management. The very short period over which fire incidents peaked, the high proportion of fires occurring on peatlands, typical patterns of plantation management in fire areas, and the lack of updated concession maps support this hypothesis.
2. Weather conditions (including wind patterns) exacerbated the haze problem in June 2013 compared with previous fire incidents.
The very rapid availability of Landsat 8 data allowed us to make a timely assessment of fire scars and correlate the data with known land uses. However, more field data are needed to confirm the precise events and processes that caused the fires.

Drama, Just Hatched
One could say the UK's chief export to the United States is offbeat comedy. From Monty Python's Flying Circus to The Office, our wit has been often whetted when we borrow from the Brits. With that in mind, consider a trip to the Dallas Theater Center's presentation of Joe Egga unique and darkly comic look into the lives of a British couple coping with the struggles of raising a severely handicapped child.
The play follows main characters Bri and Sheilaa married couple who escape the challenges they face by employing both brazen humor and vivid fantasies. When it comes to their 10-year-old daughter, who neither speaks nor meaningfully interacts with her parents, the couple must invent her personality and imagine her dialogue. The story is heartbreaking, the subject matter precarious and the characters at times desperate, but its thorny path is navigated expertly with a comic wink.
Playwright Peter Nichols draws from his own experience (his daughter Abigail was born severely disabled). The play, which premiered in 1967 and received Tony awards for its 1968 New York run, was recently resurrected in London starring Eddie Izzard. This latest rendition, directed by DTC Artistic Director Richard Hamburger, stars David Manis as Bri, who has worked previously with Hamburger in Room Service and The Sternham Project. Wendy Rich Stetson (Sheila) and Sandra Shipley (Grace) make their DTC debuts, and local actors Jessica Turner, James Crawford and Clara Peretz (Joe) complete the cast.
Joe Egg premieres Tuesday, January 24, at the Kalita Humphreys Theater (3636 Turtle Creek Blvd. at Blackburn Street), although there are preview performances January 18 to 22. The play runs through February 12, with evening performances Tuesdays through Sundays and Saturday and Sunday matinees.
Tuesdays-Sundays. Starts: Jan. 18. Continues through Feb. 12

Thank you for supporting colobus monkeys
Black-and-white colobus monkeys belong to the subfamily Colobinae. Four different species of black-and- white colobus monkey are recognized; the guereza (Colobus guereza), Angolan colobus (Colobus angolensis), Guinea forest black colobus (Colobus polykomos) and the satanic black colobus (Colobus satanas). Black-and-white colobus monkeys are found across equatorial Africa.
Guereza monkeys are found in a diversity of habitats including primary and secondary deciduous forest, montane forest, lowland swamp, coastal forest, moist savanna and gallery forest.
Head and body length: 18-28 inches (46-71 cm), tail length: 20-40 inches (51-101 cm), weight: 17-32 pounds (7.6-14.5 kg)
In the wild: up to 20 years. At the zoo: up to 30 years.
In the wild:Leaves, stems, bark, flowers, buds, shoots, fruits and some aquatic plants. In one study area, young leaves of the hackberry tree (Celtis durandii) are the food of choice for guereza monkeys.
At the zoo: Monkey chow and a leafy diet with daily browse (herbaceous plants).
Guerezas have no known breeding season. In the wild, females reach sexual maturity by age 5 and males by age 8. Females initiate courtship by tongue smacking. The gestation period is approximately six months. Females give birth to an average of one offspring every 20 months. Infants are born with eyes open, weighing about 0.9 pound (0.4 kg) and will occasionally cling to the mother's waist like a belt. More often the mother carries them higher, using one arm to secure them while they are very young. Mothers will allow other females in their troop to handle and sometimes even suckle their infants soon after birth. Offspring are born with "natal fur" which is fluffy and white. From 4 to 12 months the infant will acquire adult coloring. Adults are glossy black with a white U-shaped mantle of fur on the back and a white tip on the tail. Adults also have a ring of white fur around their faces.
Guerezas usually live in groups of three to 15 individuals. Groups are made up of one adult male (rarely two) and females with offspring. Females' troop membership is stable but males must earn their status. Young males are forced by the lead male to leave their natal troop before breeding age. Lead males are occasionally ousted by young mature males that grew up with them or moved in from an outside troop. Intragroup relationships are usually friendly and reinforced with lots of grooming. Troop home ranges are about 35-74 acres (15-30 ha). Guerezas defend their ranges vigorously. Males do most of the defending by displaying through the trees with leaps and roars which can be heard a mile (1.6 km) away.
Intergroup meetings are usually hostile, mostly between males, which will make defensive gestures, vocalizations and occasionally chase or fight each other. Rarely, two troops will share a water hole or other resource.
The name "colobus" is derived from the Greek word meaning "docked" or "mutilated." Colobus monkeys once were thought to be abnormal because they have no thumb, or only a small stub where the thumb would usually be. This is actually an adaptation rather than a mutilation which allows colobus monkeys to easily travel along the tops of branches quadripedally.
Colobus monkeys have unusual stomachs which are similar to the digestive systems of cows. The important feature of a colobus' stomach is that it has three or four different regions. The upper "sacculated" regions are very large and are separated from the lower acid region. The sacculated stomach and the specialized bacterial microflora enables the monkeys to digest large volumes of leafy material. If the stomach was not as large as it is these monkeys would not be able to get ample nutrition from their food. Colobus monkeys always have a belly full of food which is in the process of being digested. The contents of the stomach can constitute up to a quarter of the weight of an adult and half the weight of an infant monkey.
Woodland Park Zoo's black-and-white colobus monkeys can be viewed in the Tropical Rain Forest. Other animals which can be viewed in the Tropical Rain Forest are the western lowland gorilla and red ruffed lemur.
Black-and-white colobus monkeys are not an endangered species but are vulnerable to habitat destruction and human overpopulation. Also, many colobus monkeys are killed for their meat and skins. Woodland Park Zoo participates in the Association of Zoos & Aquariums' (AZA) Species Survival Plan (SSP) for the black-and- white colobus monkey, which manages the species and works to educate the public about this and other threatened and endangered species.
The effort to save endangered species requires cooperation and support at the international, national, regional and individual levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo and other conservation organizations of your choice. Please do not buy products made from wild animal parts. Contact your elected representatives and express your views about conservation of endangered species and wild habitats.

Carjacking chase ends in fatal accident, bystander killed
Three people are in police custody and an innocent bystander is dead after a carjacking Sunday morning along 16th Street and East Riverside Drive.
It all started with a report of a stolen car in the 3500 block of N. Dukane Way around 9:20 a.m. Sunday.
Moments before the crash, investigators say three men stole a dark Toyota Camry several blocks away. The men are accused of pointing a gun, demanding the car, and then speeding away down 16th Street.
With a search put out for the car, an officer at Eskenazi Health noticed it, and chased the car only a few blocks before the driver crashed into a dark Honda Accord. The Eskenazi officer is a Marion County Sheriff's deputy with full police powers.
"It's messed up. A life lost. An innocent life lost," said witness Christopher Smith.
That's how police also describe the 79-year-old man driving the Honda. They say the man, later identified as George Porter, couldn't avoid being T-boned by the driver of the stolen Toyota.
"I heard what sounded like a car trying to hit its brakes but he couldn't stop like he was skidding and I heard a loud crash," Smith said.
Smith had been riding his bicycle on his way to see a friend. He says he is actually glad he got a flat tire which delayed his trip and possibly avoided putting him in harm's way.
"I had no idea that I would come around the corner to see all of this," Smith said.
Amid the twisted and mangled metal, the driver of the stolen Camry ran away.
Only Eyewitness News was there moments after police caught him. An IMPD canine chased him and bit him as officers moved in and surrounded him.
Police put handcuffs on his ankles to make sure he wouldn't get away.
The bite caused him to bleed under his shoulder. Paramedics had to treat the injury and wrap his shoulder area. From there, he went to the hospital to be checked out and is then expected to head to jail.
Police also took two other men, ages 19 and 20, into custody. Investigators believe the two took part in the carjacking and were inside the stolen car at the time of the deadly crash.
"They killed this guy. An innocent life lost. A 79-year-old male," Smith said.
Suggested Links
Metro police say their hearts go out to Porter's family, but say it's important for everyone to know that officers won't stop until they get violent criminals, like the ones caught Sunday, off the street.
Officers found a handgun at the scene and will process it as evidence.
The age of the driver of the stolen car wasn't immediately known. The name of all three suspects have not yet been released.

Tighten the screws that hold it in. If you have any blue loctite, applying that to the threads will stop it coming loose in the future.

Jon was named 2011 "Legislator of the Year" by the National Shooting Sports Foundation for his work on behalf of Montana's sportsmen.
After he was named chairman of the Sportsmen's Caucus, Jon assembled an advisory panel made up of Montanans from all walks of life. Jon uses Montana-made ideas to write effective legislation that improves access to Montana's public land and water, and encourages hunting, fishing, and hiking opportunities across the state.
So when Montana loggers, conservationists, hunters, anglers, and motorized users came together to make a plan that could work for Montana's forests, Jon took their ideas and ran with them. After hosting several public listening sessions and hearing from Montanans across the state, he introduced the Forest Jobs and Recreation Act — landmark legislation to create jobs and reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires by requiring at least 100,000 acres of timber harvest in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge and Kootenai National Forests over 10 years.
As the Chairman of the Sportsmen's Caucus in 2012, Jon introduced his Sportsmen's Act to increase access to hunting and fishing, support land and species conservation and protect hunting and fishing rights. Despite Jon's bill – which was supported by 56 different conservation and wildlife groups – getting blocked by Washington politics, Jon helped introduced similar legislation in 2014 to stand up for Montana's sportsmen and women.
Jon introduced and passed into law the Cooperative Watershed Management Act to help protect Montana's streams, rivers, and fishing areas. He also helped pass the Clean Boating Act to prevent recreational boaters from needing to purchase expensive boating permits.
Jon is also a co-sponsor of the North Fork Watershed Protection Act which permanently protects the American side of the North Fork Watershed from new oil, gas, and mining leases.
And in an effort to protect one of the most treasured landscapes in Montana, Jon is also co-sponsoring the Rocky Mountain Front Heritage Act which would preserve hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands along the Rocky Mountain Front.

text: Jay Cutler does not really care about anything. I think that is pretty obvious when you watch him play quarterback for the Bears. Too harsh? Let me know when he wins a Super Bowl. Anyway, considering how low maintenance Jay is, I'm actually shocked he is engaged to Kristin Cavallari. Pretty much the opposite of Jay. He does what he wants. When he wants. How he wants. When the couple got back together after Jay had stopped seeing other people which was happening a lot the first time they were together, Jay texted Kristin and said they should get engaged again. Kristin said ok so Jay sent the ring from when they had been engaged before to Kristin in the mail. Nice.

Beating Moore's Law May Not Be Enough
I'm sure you've heard of Moore's Law. It claims the number of transistors that can be placed on an integrated circuit will double approximately every two years. This is often incorrectly quoted as performance doubling every 18 months, but regardless it is a phenomenal technological achievement which has remained true for 46 years. Yesterday Intel revealed its latest roadmap will out accelerate Moore's Law and the most remarkable thing is this might not be enough…
In unveiling its Ultrabook concept, Intel executive vice president Sean Maloney said its Atom line of processors will be getting a die shrink every year for the next three years. That means the 32nm Cedar Trail design will be succeeded by 22nm and 14nm versions by 2014. "Sandy Bridge is the first step in reinventing the PC," proclaimed Maloney. "The second step is Ivy Bridge, which is built on our industry-leading 22-nanometer process. The third step is Haswell in 2013. We will double the battery life."
The first Ultrabook will be the Asus UX21 (pictured) and Maloney believes the new sector will claim a whopping 40 per cent of the notebook market within 18 months. What Maloney didn't address, however, is who will claim the remaining 60 per cent? If you believe the foke at ARM, the answer is them.
Speaking at Computex this week, ARM president Tudor Brown stated: "Today we have about 10 percent market share [in mobile PCs]. By the end of 2011 we believe we will have about 15 percent of that market share as tablets grow. By 2015, we expect that to be over 50 percent of the mobile PC market… Traditional PC chips only accounted for six per cent of our whole PC chip shipments of six billion units last year, the contribution will still be less than 10 percent in the future."
The message is clear: ARM believes desktops are dying and mobile devices are taking over. Its dominance of mobile phones and tablets should see its market share skyrocket and it sees an easy transition into notebooks. Furthermore it believes Intel could be powerless to stop it. After all, Intel may be ahead of Moore's Law, but Moore's Law is an Intel boast about Intel hardware. "We've been working at 20 nanometre and we've had test chips at 20 nanometre for over a year," said Brown. ARM is currently testing 14nm chips with IBM.
ARM also sees the challenge of making its chips more powerful easier than Intel's challenge to make its chips more efficient. Besides ARM already has the Cortex A15, a quad core chip capable of scaling to eight cores each running at up to 2.5GHz.
Qualcomm claims its version of a quad core A15 chip, the 'APQ8064', will be released in early 2012. Nvidia and its hugely impressive Kal-El chip (which marries a quad core A15 with a 12 core GPU) will also arrive in 2012. Kal-El can run 2560 x 1600 HD video without breaking a sweat and Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang was recently quoted saying ARM-based mobile chips will outrun traditional PC chips in just five years.
Game over? Not quite.

So What's The Schedule?
That's a question you may be asking yourself if you've been trying to follow the Ames High baseball team this season. What with all the rainouts and flooding, there's a lot going on. So here's what we have (for now):
Tonight-Ames plays at Boone. They were supposed to play in Ames but the Squaw Creek put an end to that.
Monday July 7-Not only will the Little Cyclones return to Ray Smalling Field, they'll play a doubleheader plus against Marshalltown. The "plus" part comes when the rivals complete a game suspended during their previous meeting in Marshalltown.
Tuesday July 8-Des Moines Lincoln comes to town. This matchup has been delayed twice before so what could possibly go wrong?
Wednesday July 9-Things start to get back to normal as Ames visits Ankeny Centennial for a doubleheader
Thursday July 10-Nothing like a two-hour road trip to finish a busy week! The Little Cyclones head out to Ottumwa for a doubleheader. They'll get back to two around 2:00 a.m. probably.
Monday July 14-Another road trip, this time to Ft. Dodge for a doubleheader.
Tuesday July 15-A shorter road trip! The Little Cyclones head to Dowling for a twin bill.
Friday July 18-The postseason arrives. Ames will play their first substate game.
Got all that?
A little bit about me....
I've been Sports Director at News/Talk 1430 KASI since December 2005. I graduated from Iowa State just a few months before that. My career has also taken me to such exotic locals as Estherville, and Storm Lake, Iowa, Owatonna, Minnesota, and Silver City, New Mexico (long story-don't ask). I've also had the pleasure of working part-time at WOI Radio in Ames and WHO Radio in Des Moines while I was a student.
I'm a native of Maplewood, Minnesota, a suburb of St. Paul. It was there that I was inflicted with the curse of being a Minnesota Vikings fan. There is still no known cure, though many times I wish there was. I'm also an avid follower of the Minnesota Twins and of course, the Iowa State Cyclones.

She is a wonderful little girlthat is a typical "tom boy". She plays rough with her brothers and new sister, Izzie, and acts like a crazed fun ball of energy. When she has anything in her mouth she brings it to you and wags her whole body and it is too cute for words. She loves to sleep under the covers at night right against my back and snores loudly. She is just so precious. I will post a pic of her Halloween costume soon. My mother makes all the doggie clothes and we are working on all the costumes right now. Woof Woof ttfn

Hi all! I finally joined this wonderful online community after buying my '05 4eat WRB WRX two months ago. I actually had a '93 Impreza hatchback before this. Amazingly it wasn't AWD and barely had enough hp to carry me around. But still, I loved my old car, and I love my new one even more!
Anyways, just wanted to say hi. I've already gotten lots of good tips from the forums.

the chances of getting the stainless is super slim Like the guy at Scheel's impression from the last time he talked to Kimber it sounded like they might be pulling the plug on the stainless all together.
Stay on the waiting list
"Upgrade" to CDP
Invest in a different company
As some of you know, I've been on the waiting list for the Kimber Solo Carry Stainless for quite some time now. Well, I went into the store today and asked if there were any updates and was basically told that there was a very slim chance of receiving it, and certainly not any time soon. Also, I was told that I might be offered an "upgrade" to the uglier, more expensive, Custom Defense Package (Crimson Trace grips). I do not want a Solo, unless it is the stainless, so my options are as follows: Stay on the waiting list, "upgrade" and sell the CDP (possibly for a new gun), or get my money back and invest elsewhere. What would you do?
If you choose "invest in a different company" please give me your suggestions. I'm looking at the Sig Sauer 1911 Ultra Nitron right now.
Also, please explain your choice. Thanks, Fellas!
the chances of getting the stainless is super slim Like the guy at Scheel's impression from the last time he talked to Kimber it sounded like they might be pulling the plug on the stainless all together.
I think I'm calling to get my money back today.
if it was me, i would go with whatever the crowd says..... i am a conformist like that
GET the refund......GET the SIG and never look back......JJ
I would first of all get my money back..... if it is stainless your wanting, do not settle for one that is not stainless.... keep an open mind, if you have the opportunity to visit a gun range that rents guns, go there n find one you like. If not start looking around , Google is a great tool, also keep an eye on the on-line sellers, but would not let anyone hold my money for to long waiting on something that i will most likely not get. Sometimes I get a gun in my head and that is what I HAVE to have, but keep in mind there are a lot of fine gun makers out there, that will offer a gun that is comparable to the Kimber.....
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American GI. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
Take a look at the Kahr PM9 with Tritium sights....I love to carry this gun...light, GREAT trigger, accurate, and easily concealed. This gun lives with me.
I did have some issues early on...mainly me learning the limits of the gun: No reloads, No manual racking of the slide when loading a rounde, etc.
Only thing is I wish it could carry more rounds...but then again that's what spare mags are for.
Seriouslly, mature design, solid gun, great handling, and great trigger...try one!
CC gives good solid advice on this matter I would certianly look at the PM9. It is a fine weapon and it is as easy to hide as the solo. I have no experiance with a Slim Hawg so I can offer no credible advice. Kahr makes a real good hand gun.
Only major difference will be hammer vs. striker fired. Not sure what the exact dimensions will be but we should see more on it in January.
Had one of the first Solos. It was junk. You couldn't get through a session without multiple FTEs. I sent it back twice and Kimber did replace it. By then it was worn out. The notch for the slide was rounded and the slide would spring forward without warning. The barrel and slide were peening metal off each other. A gunsmith asked me how many rounds I had fired. His estimate was 15-20K (I'd fired just over 700
Traded the replacement for an EMP and have had no problems.
I have three Sig 1911's including the 1911 Carry Nitron. All are very nice guns, and have been problem-free for me thru around 5K rounds each....

$12 Billion Gap Between Need and Funding at MTA, Comptroller Says
Keeping New York's transit system in good repair costs a lot of money - $105 billion over the next 20 years, according to a new report by New York State comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. The most recent budget for long-term investments and upgrades had a $9 billion shortfall, covered by borrowing. The next one will likely have a $12 billion gap, according to the report.
Millions of New Yorkers rely on the MTA transit system and while it is in far better condition than it was 30 years ago, much more needs to be done," DiNapoli said. Since 1982, the MTA has spent more than $90 million on repairs and expansions.
Those investments "have spearheaded a revitalization for our transit network and are one of the main reasons we're seeing record ridership levels today," said Kevin Ortiz, a spokesperson for the MTA. The spending anticipated in the next capital plan will "maintain reliability" and "fortify our network to prepare for the next big storm," he said.
The authority is planning $60 billion in upgrades to the subway system between now and 2034. The money is to modernize signals, replace train cars, and buy new ones to accommodate growing ridership. To stretch their dollars, the system is keeping cars on the rails "beyond their useful lives," in the jargon. The oldest cars, now running mostly on the C line, will be more than 50 years old by the time they retire in 2017.
Almost $10 billion is slated for station fixes, elevator and escalator repairs. The original target for modernizing all stations was 2022, but New York City Transit "no longer has a target date to fully restore all of its stations," according to the report.
The Long Island Railroad needs more than $13 billion to replace tracks, get new railcars and upgrade stations. Metro North is the cheapest of the bunch, with anticipated costs of just under $9 billion. And then there's the costs of maintaining the Verrazano and Throgs Neck and Robert F. Kennedy bridges, the Hugh L. Carey and Queens Midtown tunnels – the list goes on.
How will the MTA pay for all this? Debt is a likely answer. More than 60 percent of the money for the 2000-2014 capital program was borrowed – and that carries its own financing costs, impacting future budgets. The federal Highway Trust Fund has provided money in the past, but that might run out of money in September, and multi-year funding is not looking likely. And then there's another potential source of funds: higher fares and tolls for riders and drivers.
The next plan, covering 2015 to 2019, is projected to cost $26.6 billion, not including money for East Side Access. The MTA "could reasonably expect" about $14 billion from bonds, state, federal and city funding, according to the comptroller's report. Which leaves a gap of more than $12 billion.
"The MTA has to find a way to finance improvements without putting the financial burden on riders," DiNapoli said. That's going to take a clear focus on efficiency – and cooperation between city, state, federal governments, he said. "Otherwise, needed repairs will be pushed even further into the future, and fares and tolls could rise even faster."


text: I spoke with my electrical teacher today about the possibility of accessing the OBDII computer in the Cadillac's in order to make changes and adjustments. He asked me to right down my vin# so he could talk to his friends in the automotive department at Delphi Electronics. He told me that they knew how and have done it before and that he would find out how for me. If I find out how, I will post it immediatley. He's highly connected in the electronic field (he helped design flight deck on Space Shuttle and Boeing 777), so I think he will be able to help. Hopefully I should have an answer within the next week or two. :thumbsup:

I'm sure a lot of you might of heard about my experience...
Heres my car.
My trip.
On the way down my rear wheels both cracked..barrel cracked. Didn't really notice it until this happened..
Now i had a heavy low profile jack but it was so heavy and my rear was rubbing way too much so i took it out before we left.
We used my stock jack, or widow maker rather, to get the car up. While it was on the jack we got the wheel off and a semi truck drove by and the wind knocked the jack over.
Stock jack is bent under my car with no wheel on and the car fell into the side guard rail. Few awesome vw/audi guys pulled over and helped me and my friends out..got my spare tire on but since i have awd i couldnt drive on it..got towed the last 46 miles to georgia...thanks AAA.
finally got to helen.
Buddy who was leaving the next day brought me down 4 stock r32 wheels..i drove around on these the whole trip...still have them on my car now actually.
Here is what my one wheel looked like that blew out.
Had to stare at these everyday in my hotel.
Helen was awesome..drank my ass off..smoked a lot..really tried to enjoy it and forget about the drive down.
Finally seen sparky's car and a few other sick ones..
Now on the way home me and my friend kept switching up, long drive for one person to do.
Car in front of us ran over a shredded semi tire and made it fly right in front of my car. My friend tried to avoid it but there was no time..tire smacked my front bumper, broke the fog light, grille and fog cover flew out, and the tire bounced off and then smacked my passenger door making a dent..
So here is some good news..
Already got a new bumper and got it painted. Bought all the pieces i lost..just need to finish customizing the bumper to fit and make brackets for the fogs.
My gottis are getting fixed..all the cracks are getting welded by my buddy..really hoping they hold up. Going with a bigger tire size when i put them back on..
For now i'm getting my winter wheels mounted again and will go to shows like this until i get everything back together
So thats my SOWO12 trip..hopefully i have a lot better luck next year if i end up going.

Chinmaya Maruti Temple
"A temple is that which gives an atmosphere for the human mind to quieten itself into the contemplation of the higher Reality. A temple is a social center and must become a place of cultural revival. It is a sacred place of reverence (Sangam), where love of the mind and respect of the intellect (Ganga and Jamuna) come together" – Swami Chinmayananda
Chinmaya Mission Boston offers its members and the general public with a place of worship and contemplation. The resident deity of the temple is Maruti (Lord Hanuman). An immortal soul from the age of Ramayana, Lord Hanuman embodies devotion and service, the very qualities central to the mission of Chinmaya.
Daily worship and special pujas in the shrine are performed by our learned priests Pandit Srinivas Shastry and Nagendra Shastry. Maha Shivaratri, Shri Rama Navami, Krishna Janmashtami, Ganesha Chaturthi, Deepavali, and Srinivasa Kalyanam are some examples of festivals that are celebrated.
The priests also perform services for weddings, upanayanams(sacred thread ceremony) and other rituals such as Maha Ganapathy Homa, Gruhapravesh(house warming ceremony) and other homas in devotees' homes. They also conduct weekly vedic chanting classes, Hanuman Chalisa chanting, and discourses on the Ramayana and other scriptures.
