Santa Cruz de La Palma has always had an important port and a developing trade with the other Canary Islands, mainland Spain and the rest of the world. In the 16th and 17th centuries, Santa Cruz de La Palma Port was the third most important in the world, after Seville and Antwerp, in consequence of its sugar and wine trade, which forged strong human and economic ties between the island and the outside world. This led to the arrival of many settlers from numerous European ports (the Low Countries, England, Italy), attracted by a flourishing trade in agricultural exports.
Since the time of the conquest, a short pier had acted as a quay and was constantly under threat from heavy seas. But, like most other Canary Islands harbours, it was rebuilt several times due to storm damage often made worse by a total lack of protection from the prevailing winds.
Repair work was carried out several times in the 18th century, in 1728, 1739 and successive years, but reconstruction was not completed until 1735. In winter, the harbour was exposed to the strong NE and NW winds that whipped up heavy swells, crashing into the bay and severely hindering the safety and movements of skiffs and ships at anchor.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That this Act may be cited as the "Colorado River Basin Project Act".
(a) It is the object of this Act to provide a program for the further comprehensive development of the water resources of the Colorado River Basin and for the provision of additional and adequate water supplies for use in the upper as well as in the lower Colorado River Basin. This program is declared to be for the purposes, among others, of regulating the flow of the Colorado River; controlling floods; improving navigation; providing for the storage and delivery of the waters of the Colorado River for reclamation of lands, including supplemental water supplies, and for municipal, industrial, and other beneficial purposes; improving water quality; providing for basic public outdoor recreation facilities; improving conditions for fish and wildlife, and the generation and sale of electrical power as an incident of the foregoing purposes.
(b) It is the policy of the Congress that the Secretary of the Interior (hereinafter referred to as the "Secretary") shall continue to develop, after consultation with affected States and appropriate Federal agencies, a regional water plan, consistent with the provisions of this Act and with future authorizations, to serve as the framework under which projects in the Colorado River Basin may be coordinated and constructed with proper timing to the end that an adequate supply of water may be made available for such projects, whether heretofore, herein, or hereafter authorized.
(a) For the purposes of furnishing irrigation water and municipal water supplies to the water-deficient areas of Arizona and western New Mexico through direct diversion or exchange of water, control of floods, conservation and development of fish and wildlife resources, enhancement of recreation opportunities, and for other purposes, the Secretary shall construct, operate, and maintain the Central Arizona Project, consisting of the following principal works: (1) a system of main conduits and canals, including a main canal and pumping plants (Granite Reef aqueduct and pumping plants), for diverting and carrying water from Lake Havasu to Orme Dam or suitable alternative, which system may have a capacity of 3,000 cubic feet per second or whatever lesser capacity is found to be feasible: Provided, That any capacity in the Granite Reef aqueduct in excess of 2,500 cubic feet per second shall be utilized for the conveyance of Colorado River water only when Lake Powell is full or releases of
Page 1156
water are made from Lake Powell to prevent the reservoir from exceeding elevation 3,700 feet above mean sea level or when releases are made pursuant to the proviso in section 602 (a) (3) of this Act: Provided further, That the costs of providing any capacity in excess of 2,500 cubic feet per second shall be repaid by those funds available to Arizona pursuant to the provision of subsection 403 (f) of this Act, or by funds from sources other than the development fund; (2) Orme Dam and Reservoir and power-pumping plant or suitable alternative; (3) Buttes Dam and Reservoir, which shall be so operated as not to prejudice the rights of any user in and to the waters of Gila River as those rights are set forth in the decree entered by the United States District Court for the District of Arizona on June 29, 1935, in United States against Gila Valley Irrigation District and others (Globe Equity Numbered 59); (4) Hooker Dam and Reservoir or suitable alternative, which shall be constructed in such a manner as to give effect to the provisions of subsection (f) of section 304; (5) Charleston Dam and Reservoir; (6) Tucson aqueducts and pumping plants; (7) Salt-Gila aqueducts; (8) related canals, regulating facilities, hydroelectric powerplants, and electrical transmission facilities required for the operation of said principal works; (9) related water distribution and drainage works; and (10) appurtenant works.
(b) Article II (B) (3) of the decree of the Supreme Court of the United States in Arizona against California (376 U.S. 340) shall be so administered that in any year in which, as determined by the Secretary, there is insufficient main stream Colorado River water available for release to satisfy annual consumptive use of seven million five hundred thousand acre-feet in Arizona, California, and Nevada, diversions from the main stream for the Central Arizona Project shall be so limited as to assure the availability of water in quantities sufficient to provide for the aggregate annual consumptive use by holders of present perfected rights, by other users in the State of California served under existing contracts with the United States by diversion works heretofore constructed, and by other existing Federal reservations in that State, of four million four hundred thousand acre-feet of mainstream water, and by users of the same character in Arizona and Nevada. Water users in the State of Nevada shall not be required to bear shortages in any proportion greater than would have been imposed in the absence of this subsection 301 (b). This subsection shall not affect the relative priorities, among themselves, of water users in Arizona, Nevada, and California which are senior to diversions for the Central Arizona Project, or amend any provisions of said decree.
(c) The limitation stated in subsection (b) of this section shall not apply so long as the Secretary shall determine and proclaim that means are available and in operation which augment the water supply of the Colorado River system in such quantity as to make sufficient mainstream water available for release to satisfy annual consumptive use of seven million five hundred thousand acre-feet in Arizona, California, and Nevada.
(a) The Secretary shall designate the lands of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, Arizona, and the Fort McDowell-Apache [sic] Indian Community, Arizona, or interests therein, and any allotted lands or interests therein within said communities which he determines are necessary for use and occupancy by the United States for the construction, operation, and maintenance of Orme Dam and Reservoir, or alternative. The Secretary shall offer to pay the fair market value of the lands and interests designated, inclusive of improvements. In addition, the Secretary shall offer to pay toward the cost of relocating or replacing such improvements not to exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, and the amount offered for the actual relocation or replacement of a residence shall not exceed the difference between the fair market value of the residence and $8,000.
Page 1157
Each community and each affected allottee shall have six months in which to accept or reject the Secretary's offer. If the Secretary's offer is rejected, the United States may proceed to acquire the property interests involved through eminent domain proceedings in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona under 40 U. S. C., sections 257 and 258a. Upon acceptance in writing of the Secretary's offer, or upon the filing of a declaration of taking in eminent domain proceedings, title to the lands or interests involved, and the right to possession thereof, shall vest in the United States. Upon a determination by the Secretary that all or any part of such lands or interests are no longer necessary for the purpose for which acquired, title to such lands or interests shall be restored to the appropriate community upon repayment to the Federal Government of the amounts paid by it for such lands.
(b) Title to any land or easement acquired pursuant to this section shall be subject to the right of the former owner to use or lease the land for purposes not inconsistent with the construction, operation, and maintenance of the project, as determined by, and under terms and conditions prescribed by, the Secretary. Such right shall include the right to extract and dispose of minerals. The determination of fair market value under subsection (a) shall reflect the right to extract and dispose of minerals and all other uses permitted by this section.
(c) In view of the fact that a substantial portion of the lands of the Fort McDowell Mohave-Apache Indian Community will be required for Orme Dam and Reservoir, or alternative, the Secretary shall, in addition to the compensation provided for in subsection (a) of this section, designate and add to the Fort McDowell Indian Reservation twenty-five hundred acres of suitable lands in the vicinity of the reservation that are under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior in township 4 north, range 7 east; township 5 north, range 7 east; and township 3 north, range 7 east, Gila and Salt River base meridian, Arizona. Title to lands so added to the reservation shall be held by the United States in trust for the Fort McDowell Mohave-Apache Indian Community.
(d) Each community shall have a right, in accordance with plans approved by the Secretary, to develop and operate recreational facilities along the part of the shoreline of the Orme Reservoir located on or adjacent to its reservation, including land added to the Fort McDowell Reservation as provided in subsection (b) of this section, subject to rules and regulations prescribed by the Secretary governing the recreation development of the reservoir. Recreation development of the entire reservoir and federally owned lands under the jurisdiction of the Secretary adjacent thereto shall be in accordance with a master recreation plan approved by the Secretary. The members of each community shall have nonexclusive personal rights to hunt and fish on or in the reservoir without charge to the same extent they are now authorized to hunt and fish, but no community shall have the right to exclude others from the reservoir except by control of access through its reservation or any right to require payment by members of the public except for the use of community lands or facilities.
(e) All funds paid pursuant to this section, and any per capita distribution thereof, shall be exempt from all forms of State and Federal income taxes.
(a) Unless and until otherwise provided by Congress, water from the Central Arizona Project shall not be made available directly or indirectly for the irrigation of lands not having a recent irrigation history as determined by the Secretary, except in the case of Indian lands, national wildlife refuges, and, with the approval of the Secretary, State-administered wildlife management areas.
Page 1158
(b) (1) Irrigation and municipal and industrial water supply under the Central Arizona Project within the State of Arizona may, in the event the Secretary determines that it is necessary to effect repayment, be pursuant to master contracts with organizations which have power to levy assessments against all taxable real property within their boundaries. The terms and conditions of contracts or other arrangements whereby each such organization makes water from the Central Arizona Project available to users within its boundaries shall be subject to the Secretary's approval, and the United States shall, if the Secretary determines such action is desirable to facilitate carrying out the provisions of this Act, have the right to require that it be a party to such contracts or that contracts subsidiary to the master contracts be entered into between the United States and any user. The provisions of this clause (1) shall not apply to the supplying of water to an Indian tribe for use within the boundaries of an Indian reservation.
(a) There is hereby authorized to be appropriated for construction of the Central Arizona Project, including prepayment for power generation and transmission facilities but exclusive of distribution and drainage facilities for non-Indian lands, $832,180,000 plus or minus such amounts, if any, as may be justified by reason of ordinary fluctuations in construction costs as indicated by engineering cost indices applicable to the types of construction involved therein and, in addition thereto, such sums as may be required for operation and maintenance of the project.
(b) There is also authorized to be appropriated $100,000,000 for construction of distribution and drainage facilities for non-Indian lands. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 403 of this Act, neither appropriations made pursuant to the authorization contained in this subsection (b) nor revenues collected in connection with the operation of such facilities shall be credited to the Lower Colorado River Basin Development Fund and payments shall not be made from that fund to the general fund of the Treasury to return any part of the costs of construction, operation, and maintenance of such facilities.
The Secretary shall determine the repayment capability of Indian lands within, under, or served by any unit of the project. Construction costs allocated to irrigation of Indian lands (including provision of water for incidental domestic and stock water uses) and within the repayment capability of such lands shall be subject to the Act of July 1, 1932 (47 Stat. 564; 25 U. S. C. 386a), and such costs that are beyond repayment capability of such lands shall be nonreimbursable.
(a) In order to provide for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Animas-La Plata Federal reclamation project, Colorado-New Mexico; the Dolores, Dallas Creek, West Divide, and San Miguel Federal reclamation projects, Colorado; and the Central Utah project (Uintah unit), Utah, as participating projects under the Colorado River Storage Project Act (70 Stat. 105; 43 U. S. C. 620), and to provide for the completion of planning reports on other participating projects, clause (2) of section 1 of said Act is hereby further amended
Page 1159
by (i) inserting the words "and the Uintah unit" after the word "phase" within the parenthesis following "Central Utah", (ii) deleting the words "Pine River Extension" and inserting in lieu thereof the words "Animas-La Plata, Dolores, Dallas Creek, West Divide, San Miguel", (iii) adding after the words "Smith Fork:" the proviso "Provided, That construction of the Uintah unit of the Central Utah project shall not be undertaken by the Secretary until he has completed a feasibility report on such unit and submitted such report to the Congress along with his certification that, in his judgment, the unit is physically and financially feasible, and the Congress has authorized the appropriation of funds for the construction thereof:". Section 2 of said Act is hereby further amended by (i) deleting the words "Parshall, Troublesome, Rabbit Ear, San Miguel, West Divide, Tomichi Creek, East River, Ohio Creek, Dallas Creek, Dolores, Fruit Growers Extension, Animas-La Plata", and inserting after the words "Yellow Jacket" the words "Basalt Middle Park (including the Troublesome, Rabbit Ear, and Azure units), Upper Gunnison (including the East River, Ohio Creek, and Tomichi Creek units), Lower Yampa (including the Juniper and Great Northern units), Upper Yampa (including the Hayden Mesa, Wessels, and Toponas units)"; (ii) by inserting after the word "Sublette" the words "(including a diversion of water from the Green River to the North Platte River Basin in Wyoming), Ute Indian unit of the Central Utah Project, San Juan County (Utah), Price River, Grand County (Utah), Gray Canyon, and Juniper (Utah)"; and (iii) changing the period after "projects" to a colon and adding the following proviso: "Provided, That the planning report for the Ute Indian unit of the Central Utah participating project shall be completed on or before December 31, 1974, to enable the United States of America to meet the commitments heretofore made to the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation under the agreement dated September 20, 1965 (Contract Numbered 14-06-W-194).". The amount which section 12 of said Act authorizes to be appropriated is hereby further increased by the sum of $392,000,000, plus or minus such amounts, if any, as may be required, by reason of changes in construction costs as indicated by engineering cost indices applicable to the type of construction involved. This additional sum shall be available solely for the construction of the Animas-La Plata, Dolores, Dallas Creek, West Divide, and San Miguel projects herein authorized.
Approved, September 30, 1968.

The Panamera's front engine design may depart with traditional Porsche design, but its elongated shape provides comfortable seating for everyone--even for passengers over 6 feet tall. It features up to 45 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded. And, it wouldn't be a Porsche if it didn't out-handle and out-accelerate almost everything else on the road. Two hybrid models bring performance and green credibility, while the Turbo S could be the most powerful station wagon available.
The base trim starts at around $78,000, but there is no other car available that looks, handles or hauls like a Panamera.
Compare the 2016 Porsche Panamera against similar models
The Panamera is essentially unchanged for 2016.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
Below are pictures of the 2016 Porsche Panamera. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2016 Porsche Panamera. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The Porsche Panamera is the closest thing you'll find to the blending of a luxury sedan and big fast sports car. The Panamera has a real back seat, comparable in roominess to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, to go with its upscale cabin and powerful driving dynamics. Forget your sports sedans, if you want to step on over to the sport side. Also forget your budget.
The Panamera, although face-lifted for 2013, is at the end of its first generation, with a new design scheduled for 2017. So there's not much new in 2016, but there is a new Edition model, with shiny black trim, 19-inch wheels, two-tone leather, and Bose 14-speaker sound system. Also, now available on all models is the Exclusive's rear seat entertainment system, with a 10-inch touchscreen and camera for video calls, as well as WiFi hotspot.
Panamera is fast and its stability at high speeds is superb, but because it's long and heavy, it's not nearly as nimble as a Porsche 911 or Cayman, or even a Cayenne crossover. After all, it weighs more than two tons.
And don't expect a car like this to be without controversy to come with its originality, extending to its shape. It looks enough like a Porsche in front, but the big round rear end, a fat hatchback, is considered ugly by some. When parked next to other luxury sedans, however, it does look distinctive and arguably is the car that most beckons to be driven.
There are different powertrains and wheelbases, from plug-in hybrid to wannabe supercar to fill-in limo, so the Panamera might compete with many different vehicles, for example the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or CLS, the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe, or even the Aston Martin Rapide or Maserati Quattroporte.
There is the base Panamera, Panamera S, Panamera GTS, Panamera Turbo, and Panamera S E-Hybrid. Panamera 4 and Panamera 4S have available all-wheel drive, while the faster Panamera GTS and Panamera Turbo come standard with all-wheel drive. Panamera S E Hybrid is rear-wheel-drive. Executive models feature a wheelbase that's six inches longer.
A 3.6-liter V6 engine comes standard making 310 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, able to accelerate from zero to sixty miles per hour in a quick 5.7 seconds with the Sport Chrono performance package. The S and 4S models get a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 making 420 horsepower, and the Panamera Turbo makes 520 hp from its twin-turbo V8, which can push it to sixty in a very quick 3.7 seconds.
The Porsche PDK 7-speed dual-clutch transmissions is standard on all models except the S E-Hybrid, which uses an 8-speed Tiptronic S transmission.
Also standard is Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC). The Sport Chrono package is optional; its electronics improve acceleration, handling and safety.
Our choice for enthusiasts is the Panamera GTS, with its strong and sweet-sounding 4.8-liter making 440 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque, with all-wheel drive. It handles the best of all the models.
Fuel mileage is decent, with the base Panamera bringing an EPA-estimated 22 miles per gallon Combined with either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The Panamera S and turbocharged 4S only drop 1 mpg, the long wheelbase drops another, the GTS another, and the Turbo a final 1 mpg drop, to 18 mpg Combined. The stop-start system is standard, in default mode, but it can be de-activated.
The hybrid gets the best mileage, with 50 mpg Combined; in gas-only, it gets 25 mpg. It can recharge from a 240-volt outlet in 2.5 hours, or it's capable of charging the batteries by using gas power.
The 2016 Porsche Panamera lineup includes Panamera ($78,100), Panamera Edition ($80,000), Panamera 4 ($82,800), Panamera 4 Edition ($84,300), Panamera S ($93,200), Panamera S E-Hybrid ($93,200), Panamera 4s ($98,300), Panamera 4S Executive ($125,600), Panamera GTS ($113,400), Panamera Turbo ($141,300), Panamera Turbo Executive ($161,100), Panamera Turbo S ($180,300), Panamera Turbo S Executive ($200,500), Panamera Exclusive Series ($263,900). (Prices are MSRP and do not include destination charges.)
The bold Panamera looks inspire strong responses, pro and con. From head-on, it looks like a Porsche 911,with big intakes, domed hood and crisp details; but from the rear it looks big and bulbous.
It has a long roofline that binds an unsettling configuration of curves and drops toward the tail in a bubbled arch. It creates great room for the passengers in the rear seat, which is what the car is all about, but gives up elegance in the styling. The rear end is simple and clean, but the large roof and glass make it suffer.
There's less debate in the cabin, which is stylish and high tech. With straight lines and flat surfaces, it's not warm and organic like some luxury cars. It also uses real buttons and switchgear, not touchscreen menus like some luxury cars. The fit and finish is excellent, and materials of a high quality, although it isn't as quiet in the cabin as a luxury sedan.
In the back, with ample room and features, it does feel like an executive limo, especially the Executive model with long rear doors. Behind the seats, under the glass hatch, there's a ton of room; Porsche says two bicycles will fit back there.
We'll jump straight to the GTS, because that's the Panamera we like most, because it's the model that feels most like a Porsche. It's not the fastest, only the second-fastest after the Turbo. It's a normally aspirated V8, with 440 hp and 384 lb-ft, and it's the best sounding, while being faster than the 3.0-liter V6 turbo that's in the Panamera S, which, with two-wheel-drive and without the Sport Chrono package, takes 4.9 seconds to get to 60 mph. The GTS can do it in 4.2 seconds, so there. Who needs turbos when you have a big honkin' V8?
Of course, if you want to bolt twin turbos onto that V8, you get the 520-hp Panamera Turbo which can hit sixty in 3.9 seconds. But that doesn't make it the best Panamera to own. Its driving dynamics aren't as pure as those of the GTS, which handles more sharply and precisely. The GTS is solid and connected to the road, while most of the rest of the Panameras feel floaty, with overboosted steering. We observed this in back-to-back comparisons. We have also driven them at Road America, and the V6 models offer the more enjoyable handling than the heavier Turbo versions.
Longest and least agile are the Executive versions.
If it's technology you're after, the S E-Hybrid is your model, with its supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine and electric motor with plug-in charging of its 9.4-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. It's rated at 416 combined horsepower, counting the 95-horsepower electric motor, and with an extra 550 pounds of weight it isn't as fast as the others, but speed is not its game. But it's not slow, hitting 60 mph in 5.2 seconds, quick in anyone's league.
And even with that weight, it handles well thanks to special suspension tuning. As for its ability as an all-electric car, it can go for 22 miles, says Porsche; and hit 83 mph, although it won't go for 22 miles at 83 mph.
The Panamera is unique, being a high-performance Porsche sports car with the feel of a luxury sedan and looks of a fastback hatchback. It's also extremely expensive, and because it's replacement is on the way, we recommend looking for deals, waiting for the new one, or checking out the competition.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total.

Journal Article - Daedalus
Nuclear Power Without Nuclear Proliferation?
Introduction to Volume 1 of the On the Global Nuclear Future Special Issue
Excerpt from "Nuclear Power Without Nuclear Proliferation?":
Today, the Cold War has disappeared but thousands of those weapons have not. In a strange turn of history, the threat of global nuclear war has gone down, but the risk of a nuclear attack has gone up. More nations have acquired these weapons. Testing has continued. Black market trade in nuclear secrets and nuclear materials abound. The technology to build a bomb has spread. Terrorists are determined to buy, build or steal one. Our efforts to contain these dangers are centered on a global non-proliferation regime, but as more people and nations break the rules, we could reach the point where the center cannot hold.
—President Barack Obama Prague, April 5, 2009
The global nuclear order is changing. Concerns about climate change, the volatility of oil prices, and the security of energy supplies have contributed to a widespread and still-growing interest in the future use of nuclear power. Thirty states operate one or more nuclear power plants today, and according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), some 50 others have requested technical assistance from the agency to explore the possibility of developing their own nuclear energy programs. It is certainly not possible to predict precisely how fast and how extensively the expansion of nuclear power will occur. But it does seem probable that in the future there will be more nuclear technology spread across more states than ever before. It will be a different world than the one that has existed in the past.
This surge of interest in nuclear energy — labeled by some proponents as "the renaissance in nuclear power" — is, moreover, occurring simultaneously with mounting concern about the health of the nuclear nonproliferation regime, the regulatory framework that constrains and governs the world's civil and military-related nuclear affairs. The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and related institutions have been taxed by new worries, such as the growth in global terrorism, and have been painfully tested by protracted crises involving nuclear weapons proliferation in North Korea and potentially in Iran. (Indeed, some observers suspect that growing interest in nuclear power in some countries, especially in the Middle East, is not unrelated to Iran's uranium enrichment program and Tehran's movement closer to a nuclear weapons capability.) Confidence in the NPT regime seems to be eroding even as interest in nuclear power is expanding.
This realization raises crucial questions for the future of global security. Will the growth of nuclear power lead to increased risks of nuclear weapons proliferation and nuclear terrorism? Will the nonproliferation regime be adequate to ensure safety and security in a world more widely and heavily invested in nuclear power? The authors in this two-volume (Fall 2009 and Winter 2010) special issue of Dædalus have one simple and clear answer to these questions: It depends.
On what will it depend? Unfortunately, the answer to that question is not so simple and clear, for the technical, economic, and political factors that will determine whether future generations will have more nuclear power without more nuclear proliferation are both exceedingly complex and interrelated. How rapidly and in which countries will new nuclear power plants be built? Will the future expansion of nuclear energy take place primarily in existing nuclear power states or will there be many new entrants to the field? Which countries will possess the facilities for enriching uranium or reprocessing plutonium, technical capabilities that could be used to produce either nuclear fuel for reactors or the materials for nuclear bombs? How can physical protection of nuclear materials from terrorist organizations best be ensured? How can new entrants into nuclear power generation best maintain safety to prevent accidents? The answers to these questions will be critical determinants of the technological dimension of our nuclear future.
The major political factors influencing the future of nuclear weapons are no less complex and no less important. Will Iran acquire nuclear weapons; will North Korea develop more weapons or disarm in the coming decade; how will neighboring states respond? Will the United States and Russia take significant steps toward nuclear disarmament, and if so, will the other nuclear-weapons states follow suit or stand on the sidelines?
The nuclear future will be strongly influenced, too, by the success or failure of efforts to strengthen the international organizations and the set of agreements that comprise the system developed over time to manage global nuclear affairs. Will new international or regional mechanisms be developed to control the front-end (the production of nuclear reactor fuel) and the back-end (the management of spent fuel containing plutonium) of the nuclear fuel cycle? What political agreements and disagreements are likely to emerge between the nuclear-weapons states (NWS) and the non-nuclear-weapons states (NNWS) at the 2010 NPT Review Conference and beyond? What role will crucial actors among the NNWS — Japan, Iran, Brazil, and Egypt, for example — play in determining the global nuclear future? And most broadly, will the nonproliferation regime be supported and strengthened or will it be questioned and weakened? As IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei has emphasized, "The nonproliferation regime is, in many ways, at a critical juncture," and there is a need for a new "overarching multilateral nuclear framework."1 But there is no guarantee that such a framework will emerge, and there is wide doubt that the arrangements of the past will be adequate to manage our nuclear future effectively.
The authors in both this and the subsequent volume address these and other vexing issues that will affect the spread of nuclear power and the spread of nuclear weapons. As is necessary to understand such a complex set of real-world issues, the authors represent diverse academic disciplines (including physical sciences, engineering, and social sciences) and many professions (including lawyers, nuclear regulators, nuclear industry executives, and experienced diplomats and political leaders). As is appropriate to address a global issue, the authors come from many different countries, from both NWS and NNWS. And as is appropriate for an objective intellectual enterprise, the authors represent both strong advocates for and skeptics of the global expansion of nuclear power, as well as both supporters and opponents of complete nuclear weapons disarmament.
In this introductory essay, we aim first to demonstrate why the question of which states will develop nuclear power in the future matters for global security. To do so, we briefly discuss the connections between nuclear power, nuclear proliferation, and terrorism risks; we present data contrasting existing nuclear-power states with potential new entrants with respect to factors influencing those risks. Second, we introduce major themes addressed by the authors in both volumes, and explain why the expansion of nuclear power, the future of nuclear weapons disarmament, and the future of the NPT and related parts of the nuclear control regime are so intertwined. Finally, we conclude with some observations about what is new and what is not new about current global nuclear challenges. The American Academy of Arts and Sciences has published three important special issues of Dædalus on nuclear weapons issues in the past — in 1960, 1975, and 1991 — and reflecting on the differences between the concerns and solutions discussed in those three issues and the nuclear challenges we face today is both inspiring and sobering.

Today, the United States, China, Japan, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom are among the largest economies in the world. Each of them has grown significantly in past decades and provides our global world with needed goods and services. This was not always the case; politics, religion and cultural differences kept us from working together. Throughout time, many of our leaders have put their best foot forward to improve our government relationships. As improvements in technology, communication and transportation evolve it has allowed us to grow globally.
On one hand, global economic growth is great. But on the other hand, being a global economy also has its drawbacks. As our economies work together and we rely more and more on each other, we have become more vulnerable. For example, war, government policies, political leaders and natural catastrophic situations can affect all of us. There are certainly pros and cons to having a global economy, but given recent events many of us may question this direction.
The recent situation in the Middle East and the tragic earthquake and tsunami in Japan show us how our markets and social humanity can affect not only that country, but also the rest of the world. Since the rebellious strikes in Libya, we have seen a spike in gas prices, commodities and will incur a great financial obligation for the military efforts to help the civilians of Libya. Also, the rebuilding of Japan will be very costly and cause slower production of their goods and services for quite some time. Not only is it a devastating situation for the people of Japan, but it also will hurt them economically for years to come.
Analysts have spent countless hours struggling to quantify the effects and make projections about how these situations will affect our global economy. Until it's behind us and we look back on history we will not know the full impact
Without a doubt, economically we are more dependent today on other countries to provide importing and exporting of goods and services for growth. We will continue to experience this progression in our future, so we must adapt and learn to change as our environment changes.

Composer Kevin Toney 3 Releases NEW AMERICAN SUITE Today, 7/24
Today, July 24th, award-winning keyboardist/composer/author Kevin Toney releases an inspired project that blends traditional acoustic jazz trio music with the compositional expanse of classical movements. Titled New American Suite, the album introduces the artist's dynamic New Group, The Kevin Toney 3 (a.k.a. "KT3" featuring Kevin Toney on piano, Michael Bradford on bass and Chris Coleman on drums).
New American Suite is a 9-song work that Toney conceptualized with co-direction from music veteran Don Mizel as a salute to the spirit of the United States. It bows via Toney's own K-Tone Enterprises through Distribution 13. Arriving after six now-classic albums with '70s soul-jazz band the Blackbyrds and seven acclaimed urban jazz solo albums, Kevin Toney's richly thematic New American Suite marks the culmination of a uniquely distinguished career in music and a flying start into higher musical altitudes. Simply stated, New American Suite is Kevin Toney's finest recording to date.
It wasn't until after the group's songs were composed (primarily by co-producers Toney and Bradford) and recorded that the concept of New American Suite took shape. It was the music that told Toney what it was all about. "The title track and first song is a suite in four sections each representing specific aspects of America's traditions of music," Kevin explains. "It begins with classical piano flourishes, moves into a swinging jazz section that mirrors the way we began moving away from our European counterparts, then an Afro-Cuban section in 12/8 which builds to a powerful climax, followed by a tranquil return to the theme in closing. The music had a patriotic feel – uplifting, propelling and encouraging. From my vantage point, this represented America."
Don Mizell - Kevin's close friend and natural born conceptualist - was instrumental in shaping the individual song titles as well as the over-arcing theme for the project. This earned him the illustrious credit of Executive Creative Producer. And as the Grammy-winning co-producer of the great Ray Charles' final recording, Genius Loves Company, Mizell clearly understands a thing or two about America! Kevin explains, "In our effort to paint a consistent picture we came up with all of the song titles in one night."
Highlights of New American Suite include the brilliant and briskly driving "E Pluribus Unum." Taking its title from the Latin term meaning "out of many, one" that has appeared on American currency, the piece finds the trio swingin' hard yet in unity just as America's founding fathers intended in maintaining a strong union. The feel-good number "A Soulful Union" continues this theme in a stew of gospel, rock and soulful jazz that reflects the reawakening of collective spirits to the truth that all men and women are created equal. "Spacious Skies" is a tranquil meditation of appreciation on the freedoms that Americans too often take for granted, featuring the lyrical bass playing of Bradford. Coleman sets up a tasty reggae swing hybrid on "Love is All We Need" over which Toney unconsciously recalls the breezy melodicism of the great Vince Guaraldi. The one non-original piece of New American Suite is a most original arrangement of Ragtime king Scott Joplin's familiar 1902 classic "The Entertainer" (popularized again in 1973 as the theme for the movie "The Sting"). "Our goal was to bring the composition into 2012 with reharmonization and a relaxed forward motion groove," Toney states.
A seasoned veteran, Kevin Toney first started playing piano at age five in his city of birth, Detroit, Michigan. His first teacher was his sister Helen. At eight, he added cello and alto saxophone to his skill set. He later attended the prestigious Cass Technical High School and performed with many of his city's top musicians. Kevin graduated to attend Howard University in Washington, D.C. where he earned his B.A. in composition and jazz studies. During his tenure, he became the leader of the The Blackbyrds, the innovative jazz-soul fusion sextet founded by jazz trumpet legend Donald Byrd. Kevin wrote and co-penned many of the band's most memorable music including the hit "Rock Creek Park", "All I Ask," and the brassy Grammy-nominated scorcher "Unfinished Business." After six now-classic '70s Soul albums, the group disbanded and Kevin recorded his first solo LP, Special K in 1982.

Chadwick also works beautifully with Oliver Litondo, who plays the stubborn octogenarian student.

John Bold was advised to institute formal proceedings against Mr. Harding and Mr. Chadwick.
Chadwick has two folk-songs of his own, however, which are superb.
"But I didn't know my old friend Chadwick had a son of your age," he said.
But youre always coming in with Mrs. Chadwick, said Miss Toner.
Though he is a Liberal, Ive always felt him to be such a good man, said Mrs. Chadwick, and really patriotic.
Ill go to church for love of Mrs. Chadwick, but not for the sake of the discipline!
But the evidence for this is surely even stronger than would be gathered from Professor Chadwick's very cautious statement.

The first time the group struck was on May 30. The gang spray-painted an illegal bike lane in the Annex, between Spadina Ave. and Bathurst St., along Bloor. To make the paths appear legitimate, painters stencilled the city's bike lane logo – a bicycle and large diamond – along the road as well.Via BikeDenver. Discussion also at Streetsblog.
The lines may have been sloppy, but that didn't stop cyclists from using the lane for two weeks until the city cleaned it up last Monday.
"The shop owners on Bloor said they thought it was the city staff painting," said Rick Helary, manager of road operations in Toronto.

Tornados Struggle at Mount OliveDecember 19, 2012
Mount Olive, N.C.- The Brevard College Tornados fell 65-30 to the Mount Olive College Trojans at Kornegay Arena on Wednesday evening.
Mount Olive's Tamara Nesmith dropped a game-high 18 points while pulling down 10 rebounds and dishing out six assists to lead the Trojans, who improved to 5-0 at home this season.
Brevard struggled offensively to start the game, and didn't find the net until a Micheala Watkins three-point play at the 14:41 mark in the first half. BC's scoring drought allowed the Trojans to establish an early 12-3 lead.
Mount Olive continued to thrive in the first half, later using an 11-2 push their lead out to 23-7. Brevard's troubles remained throughout the first half, and the Trojans closed the opening half on a 10-0 run to take a 42-15 lead into the break.
Watkins hit a three-pointer to open the second half for Brevard while the Tornados held Mount Olive scoreless for almost first three minutes to start the half. The Trojans, however, would answer Watkins' trey with a 9-2 run to take a 54-20 lead to stifle any BC momentum.
Watkins led Brevard with eight points, while Candice Fritz pulled down a team-high seven rebounds.
BC returns to South Atlantic Conference action as they visit the Catawba College Indians on January 9th. Tipoff from Goodman Gym is scheduled for 6 p.m.

The Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki
Pictures & Records
Add your story…
The Manhattan Project
Early in 1940, and in the face of Hitler's European conquests, Albert Einstein convinced President Franklin Roosevelt to fund the creation of a new weapon. These notebook pages from the Manhattan Project—code name for the atomic bomb—reveal the first successful controlled and self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction. At the bottom of the notebook, one scientist comments, "We're cookin!" Not only did this experimental project usher in a new age of weaponry, but it also began an era where nuclear power could be harnessed and used for energy. America first used nuclear weapons to devastate the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The power of the bomb reverberated throughout the world and created fears that fueled the Cold War for nearly five decades.

The only thing I would improve on is the "lip" that holds the computer from sliding is not big enough for the weight of my laptop. My laptop is about 4lbs., so it slips off a lot. The fans are okay for ordinary use, but if I game, they aren't quite strong enough. The tray is very comfortable, and I like all the features it has. I will be keeping it because of the comfort, no noise,light weight and easy to use plug.
Working so far

Intown Luxury House: all comforts of a boutique hotel in Rome
The style of a guest house in Rome
In the heart of Rome, near the spanish-steps, a small building hides regal, luxurious and minimalist suites, only for people thinking impersonal the so-called classic hotel. A very charming rich-semplicity designer project, with a sense to be a guest in a roman friend's patrician palace. Comfort and privacy, a very de-luxe but linear shading.
Precious furnishing emphasize the silent rarefied atmosphere, leading in the evocating eternal roman spirit.Being in the present, with the luscious contemporary comfort! Intown a unique experience like Rome unique of its kind! Contemporary is the architecture leit-motiv, glancing the thirties, but minimalist in the total result: looking at the richness of all the details like zebrano's and wenge's woods, crocodile's out-line, furnitures, light silks, handles, all in assembly-line, but with no scheme at all. An extreme natural blend in a melting-pot is the result.
Sir Alma-Tadema painting's, forties and fifties Savinio's statement's, sparkling japanese's and pre-colombian drops...no ordinary plants. The impact in the wholeness is extremely "glam", just a very alluring resort.

With an output capacity of 85 decibels, JAMBOX fills even the largest rooms. Unlike other portable speakers, JAMBOX is powered by a pair of proprietary, highly sophisticated acoustic drivers, unmatched in their ability to produce extreme high (tweeter) and low (woofer) frequencies from a single, ultra-small dome speaker.
They work in concert with an innovative moving-wall passive bass radiator and airtight enclosure to deliver shimmering highs and thumping lows that you can literally feel - the richest sound all in the palm of your hand.
It only gets better with time

SAINT LEO, Fla. – With the final pairings less than 24 hours away from being solidified, SaintLeoLions.com takes a look at three of the most probable match-ups for Saint Leo next Wednesday.
Florida Tech currently owns the top spot and is guaranteed at least a share of the Sunshine State Conference trophy. Meanwhile, seeds two through four are still unclear, but due to the tiebreaker scenarios, it is most likely the Lions will host its first-ever conference contest as the No.3 or No.4-seed.
Saint Leo currently owns the longest winning-streak in the conference having won six consecutive games, which is also the program's longest win streak since the 1976-77 season. In order to keep their chances at the higher seed, the Lions look to solidify a win against the Barry Buccaneers this Saturday in Miami Shores.
Despite positioning, here is look at the three most likely scenarios and how the Lions match-up with each.
Florida Southern: The Mocs are 0-2 against the Lions in 2011-12, the first time Saint Leo has swept the season series from FSC in program history. The high-scoring Mocs have blistered the nets with a league–best 81.2 points-per-game. However, Florida Southern has also surrendered a league worst 75.2 points-per-game. They are fifth in the conference in three-point field goals with 167, and are one of the best teams at hitting the glass, registering 981 rebounds. The group is also the leader in the assists category, averaging 17.5 assists-per-game. Individually, Seth Evans leads the league in scoring at 17.4 points-per-game, while also leading the league in three-point field goal percentage. In fact, the Mocs hold three of the SSC's top scorers. Brett Bailey is third in the conference in rebounding averaging 7.1 rebounds-per-game. The Mocs are 9-7 in the conference and will finish the season with a non-conference showdown with Palm Beach Atlantic.
Nova Southeastern: Nova Southeastern and Saint Leo split their season series, as each team took their respective home games. Middle of the pack in offense, the Sharks have done the majority of their damage from the free throw line, as well as compiling an impressive field goal percentage. Nova is hitting nearly 72 percent of their free throws while shooting a league-best 48 percent from the floor. The squad is also third in blocks and second in assists. Defensively, the Sharks have allowed opponents to score at nearly a 68-point clip. Individually, Nova Southeastern relies on a total team effort. The team's leading scorer, Robert Huntington, ranks 19th in the SSC in scoring at 11.3 points-per-game. Iran Hollis is the team leader in rebounds at 6.3 boards-per-game. The Sharks are 6-9 in the SSC and will host Rollins in their conference finale at 4 p.m.
Lynn University: The Fighting Knights were the only team to sweep the Lions on the season. Much like Saint Leo, Lynn relies on a strong defensive effort as they are second in the conference in defensive scoring at 63.8 points-per-game. Lynn has made up for its free-throw struggles with precision three-point shooting as they have connected on a league-best 202 three-point field goals. The Fighting Knights are a top-three rebounding team and rank in the middle of the pack in steals and assists. Lynn has also committed the second-most turnovers in the league. Individually, Josh Garcia ranks as the 16th leading scorer in the SSC and is part of a trio of double-digit scorers. Michael Vidal is averaging 9.5 rebounds-per-game and 1.7 blocks-per-game, a stat which ranks him first in rebounding and third in blocks. Lynn enters the final game of the season posting a sub .500 record (13-14), and a 6-9 conference mark.
The complete bracket will be released on Saturday evening concluding the final games of the regular Sunshine State Conference season. For the latest news, updates, and information on the Saint Leo men's basketball team, visit saintleolions.com.

My clinical approach in treating anger is informed by the precepts of Acceptance Commitment Therapy, where all inner experience is mindfully witnessed and accepted without avoidance or resistance. What clients do behaviorally is informed by fully explored life values, as opposed to "reacting" out of the difficult emotion. Clients learn that anger is a helpful emotion when channeled in a life affirming direction. They learn about the neurobiology of anger and how to build in a "pause" before behaving, so that they can choose the most adaptive coping solution, inspired by the more highly evolved places in the brain.

Dunkin' Donuts' recent arrival in Utah has reignited our infatuation with rings of deep-fried goodness.
But Utah restaurants are taking that doughy love and elevating it to rich, gooey heights with ingredients like chocolate, custards and even fig confit.
"People just become little children when they get around these things," said Montage Deer Valley spokesman Dan Howard, explaining the allure of the gourmet doughnut deserts served at the hotel's two restaurants. If you're lucky enough to attend a corporate meeting at the Park City hotel, the banquet staff offers a gourmet spread of maple bacon, lemon-blueberry, High West Whiskey and mint chocolate-chip doughnuts.
"It's like adult Disneyland," Howard said.
At Zoom, also in Park City, guests can't help but smile when they bite into the doughnut holes, accompanied by cherry jam and candied orange.

Deer Valley doughnuts
1 1/2 cups milk
2 1/2 ounces Crisco shortening
1/2 ounce yeast
1⁄3 cup water
2 eggs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon nutmeg
6 cups all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil for frying
Cinnamon sugar or confectioners' sugar
Place milk in a saucepan and heat over medium until warm enough to melt the shortening. Add shortening, stir to melt.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, add water and yeast. Stir to dissolve.
Stir in the cooled milk/shortening mixture. Add eggs, sugar, salt, nutmeg, and flour.
Attach the dough hook and mix until the dough pulls away from the bowl and becomes smooth, 4-5 minutes. You may need to add additional flour.
Transfer to a container sprayed with cooking spray, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 3⁄8" thick. Cut out dough using 2 1/2-inch round cutter for doughnut and a 3/4" plain tip to cut out center. Or use a special doughnut cutter with concentric rings.
Set on a lightly floured baking sheet, cover lightly with a towel, and let rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat deep fryer to 365 degrees. Prepare two baking sheets: one lined with a wire glazing rack and another lined with paper towels (to drain grease.) Have them nearby the deep fryer.
Gently place doughnuts into the oil, a few at a time. Cook for 1 minute per side.
Using a fryer strainer, transfer doughnuts onto the paper towels to drain excess grease. Move over to other side of rack after a couple minutes.
Let doughnuts cool for 10 minutes before rolling in cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar or dipping in warm chocolate glaze.

About Al‑Anon Literature . . .
Since its founding in 1951, Al‑Anon Family Groups has published more than 100 books and pamphlets that share a single purpose: to help family and friends recover from the effects of someone else's drinking. This literature supplements the face-to-face meetings where Al‑Anon members share their insights and experiences with each other. It is only one tool of the Al‑Anon/Alateen program.
Al‑Anon/Alateen literature is most fully understood when used in conjunction with other tools of the program. The books and pamphlets can strengthen your recovery, but they cannot substitute for the help and healing that takes place at Al‑Anon meetings in the context of a complete recovery program.
Many Areas have their own Al-Anon literature distribution centers. Literature is also available for purchase on Al-Anon's on-line store.
A sample chapter from Al‑Anon literature
Each quarter, a chapter from one of Al‑Anon's books is posted, along with additional information about the topic covered in the sample chapter.

Microsoft has unveiled the Surface table PC for Windows.
Conceived, designed and engineered entirely by Microsoft employees, Surface sports a full-sized USB port and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It has edges angled at 22 degrees, a natural position for the PC at rest or in active use, said the vendor.
The chassis of Surface is created using an approach called VaporMg, a combination of material selection and process to mold metal and deposit particles that creates a finish akin to a luxury watch, Microsoft said. Starting with magnesium, parts can be molded as thin as 0.65mm, thinner than the typical credit card, to create a product that is thin, light and rigid.
