Recall 12V502000
Transmission May Not Be Locked in "Park" When Key Is Removed
Recall Details
The affected vehicles have an electronic key and an electronic connection between the gear shifter and the transmission (shift-by-wire) that automatically shifts the transmission to Park when the driver presses the Start/Stop button to shutdown the engine. If the driver presses the engine Start/Stop button 2 or 3 times within a short time interval, the system may shift the transmission to Neutral rather than Park.
If the driver exits the vehicle with the transmission in Neutral and the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle may roll away. Unattended rollaway incidents often result in a crash or cause injury to pedestrians in the path of the vehicle. Vehicle owners will be notified, but the revised software remedy will not be available until March 2013.
Our Quick Take
Vehicles with the Comfort Access option are being recalled because, under certain conditions, the key can be removed when the transmission is not in Park.
What Should You Do?
BMW will notify owners of affected vehicles during November, 2012. If you are experiencing problems with the transmission not engaging the Park position, or you don't receive notification and you feel you should have, please contact your dealer. It's helpful to have your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy when you call.

Life as a Monkee has always been a balancing act between the pre-fab fame of the band's Emmy-winning 1960s TV show and their more organic and independent creative impulses, famously illustrated in the psychedelic 1968 cinematic cri de coeur "Head."
Both constituencies will be served Saturday night, when the band's A Midsummer's Night With the Monkees tour hits the Mizner Park Amphitheatre in Boca Raton. But this particular performance brings its own tightrope walk, as it tries to celebrate the band's upbeat fan favorites while also honoring the memory of the late South Florida resident Davy Jones.
This will be the Monkees' first South Florida performance since Jones died of a heart attack in Indiantown in February 2012 at age 66.
For drummer and vocalist Micky Dolenz, playing the hits is the best way to remember the band's former singer and frontman. He has been introducing the signature "Daydream Believer" by asking fans to provide the vocals once handled by Jones. "This song belongs to you now," he says.
The Broadway-trained Jones was a believer in giving the people what they want, Dolenz says.
"Once these songs become ingrained as part of the culture and part of people's lives, the song doesn't belong to the band anymore," Dolenz says. "The song belongs to the fans."
Recalling his own moment of adoration, singing along to "Cathy's Clown" in the front row at an Everly Brothers reunion show in London, Dolenz says he is sensitive to the transportive influence of a song. "[A fan's] attitude is, 'I came here to have this moment in my life, this memory.' It's an unspoken contract you have with the fans. It doesn't mean you have to sit there and do only the hits, but you have to respect that."
Speaking from his home in the hills above California's San Fernando Valley, Dolenz says Jones' death got him, Peter Tork and the elusive Mike Nesmith to talk about performing together again at a Los Angeles memorial. A 12-city fall tour, with Nesmith making his first appearances with the Monkees in 15 years, was so successful, that they kept going this summer.
"Davy was a lovely man, a real kick to hang out with, always had a joke to tell," says Dolenz, who was in London working on a musical when he was awakened by his wife's call with the news. "It's still a shocker."
Fans have been showing up to the concert with signs and Davy Jones photos and T-shirts they want signed, Dolenz says. Jones is a prominent part of the video montage that plays during the performance.
"We do quite a nice homage to him," Dolenz says. "But it's respectful. We certainly don't want to be seen as exploiting him."
Along with classic hits such as "Last Train to Clarksville," "Pleasant Valley Sunday" and "I'm a Believer," Dolenz says the Monkees will perform "some really wonderful deep album cuts." This includes "Tapioca Tundra," a song from the 1968 album "The Birds, the Bees & the Monkees" and a B-side to the hit single "Valleri." "Tapioca Tundra" is among the songs on the set list written by Nesmith.
Dolenz says it's "fantastic" to be performing again with Nesmith, who for years has chosen his production company work over invitations for a Monkees reunion tour. "I always loved playing with Mike, and I think he's been revitalized. I think he's having a great time. And touring is not easy. As the saying goes: They pay me to travel. I sing for free."
For true Monkees fans, the band also performs nearly the entire "Headquarters" album, the first to include substantive playing and songwriting from a band most associated with the prerecorded music-by-numbers jingles on the eponymous TV show. The album, a double-platinum No. 1 release, came out in 1967, a year the Monkees outsold the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
Dolenz, who sang in several Los Angeles bands before he performed the Chuck Berry classic "Johnny B. Goode" at his "Monkees" audition, says the ambitions of the band and the show were underappreciated from the beginning.
"Ask most people what the show was about, and all they'll remember is 'that band that ran around in circles.' But it was really about a band that wanted to be the Beatles, but never made it. It was about that struggling for success," Dolenz says. "One of the reasons kids responded to it was they were in their living rooms and their garages trying to be a band. They could relate to that struggle."
Saturday's set list will include a song that may be familiar to fans who've never seen the TV show. "The Porpoise Song" — probably the most memorable number on the soundtrack to the movie "Head," a messy and surreal homage to artistic freedom written by Jack Nicholson — recently turned up on an episode of the TV hit "Mad Men."
Dolenz says he understands why a young TV producer would want to use the song on a show set during the '60s, even if he still doesn't quite get the meaning of "Head." "The Porpoise Song" plays during a scene in which the Monkees jump from a bridge, the ultimate act of independence.
"I've always seen it as a deconstruction movie, not only of the Monkees myth, but Hollywood, transitioning from the classic Hollywood studio tradition to a new breed of independent filmmaking," Dolenz says. "It's metaphorical. But if you really want to know, you'll have to ask Jack Nicholson what it was about."

As you can see, Alison Barton is a perfectly beautiful young lady with a perfectly nice head of natural auburn hair. But seeing as she's an actress with just the right freckle-kissed skin, we thought we'd give this performer's look a shot of high drama for the season by adding a touch of crimson and some sun-touched brights to her dark, winter tones. Of course, amping up her red and maintaining a natural look can be a tough balancing act (it's so easy to fall off that high wire), so we sent her one of our favorite products and taught her a few tricks so she could get that Julianne Moore look all by herself.
Get ready to take notes on going red and caring for your colored tresses in the sunshine. Aspiring carrot tops, this one's for you!

Nanaimo Bars
>> Tuesday, January 26, 2010
My favorite part of joining The Daring Bakers is the excitement every month that comes from exploring new recipes.
This month our chalange was from our neighbors to the north and the host of the 2010 winter Olympic games, Canada.
The opportunity to create the Canadian chocolate bars, Nanaimo Bars was a refreshing change from my usual baking.
I kept the original recipe in order to create the most authentic foreign delight.
My family and I thank Lauren for exposing us to this yummy bars.
The January 2010 Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Lauren of Celiac Teen.
Lauren chose Gluten-Free Graham Wafers and Nanaimo Bars as the challenge for the month.
The sources she based her recipe on are 101 Cookbooks and www.nanaimo.ca. , and gave us the option to use a regular flour as well, so I choose the Graham wafers recipes from the Smitten Kitchen
Graham Wafers - Smitten Kitchen
Makes 10 4 x 4.5-inch graham crackers or 48 2-inch squares
2 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons (375 grams) unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup (176 grams) dark brown sugar, lightly packed
1 teaspoon (6 grams) baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher or coarse sea salt (4 grams)
7 tablespoons (3 1/2 ounces or 100 grams) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes and frozen
1/3 cup (114 grams) mild-flavored honey, such as clover
5 tablespoons (77 grams) milk, full-fat is best
2 tablespoons (27 grams) pure vanilla extract
Make the dough:
Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade or in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
Pulse or mix on low to incorporate.
Add the butter and pulse on and off on and off, or mix on low, until the mixture is the consistency of a coarse meal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, milk, and vanilla extract.
Add to the flour mixture and pulse on and off a few times or mix on low until the dough barely comes together.
It will be very soft and sticky.
Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap and dust it lightly with flour, then turn the dough out onto it and pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
Wrap it, then chill it until firm, about 2 hours or overnight.
Roll out the crackers:
Divide the dough in half and return one half to the refrigerator.
Sift an even layer of flour onto the work surface and roll the dough into a long rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. The dough will be sticky, so flour as necessary. Trim the edges of the rectangle to 4 inches wide.
Working with the shorter side of the rectangle parallel to the work surface, cut the strip every 4 1/2 inches to make 4 crackers.
Place the crackers on one or two parchment-lined baking sheets and sprinkle with the topping. Chill until firm, about 30 to 45 minutes in the fridge or 15 to 20 minutes in the freezer.
Repeat with the second batch of dough.
Finally, gather any scraps together into a ball, chill until firm, and re-roll.
Adjust the oven rack to the upper and lower positions and preheat the oven to 350°F.
Bake for 15 to 25 minutes, until browned and slightly firm to the touch, rotating the sheets halfway through to ensure even baking.
For Nanaimo Bars — Middle Layer
1/2 cup (115 g) (4 ounces) Unsalted Butter
2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons (40 mL) Heavy Cream
2 tablespoons (30 mL) Vanilla Custard Powder (Such as Bird's. Vanilla pudding mix may be substituted.)
2 cups (254 g) (8.9 ounces) Icing Sugar
For Nanaimo Bars — Top Layer
4 ounces (115 g) Semi-sweet chocolate
2 tablespoons (28 g) (1 ounce) Unsalted Butter
For bottom Layer:
Melt unsalted butter, sugar and cocoa in top of a double boiler.
Add egg and stir to cook and thicken.
Remove from heat.
Stir in crumbs, nuts and coconut. Press firmly into an ungreased 8 by 8 inch pan.
For Middle Layer:
Cream butter, cream, custard powder, and icing sugar together well.
Beat until light in color.
Spread over bottom layer.
For Top Layer:
Melt chocolate and unsalted butter over low heat.
Cool. Once cool, pour over middle layer and chill.
Additional Information:
These bars freeze very well, so don't be afraid to pop some into the freezer.
The graham wafers may be kept in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

In whimsical retro tribute, Pac-Man appears on MIT's Great Dome
Pac-Man perched on top of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Great Dome for a while today before being removed by facilities crews this afternoon, the MIT facilities office said.
The iconic 1980s videogame character was accompanied by one of his nemeses, the red ghost Blinky, and was the latest in a tradition of pranks over the years involving the top of the building.
Crews have recently been working on the dome, said MIT Police Officer Edward Castadoro. The dome tops the Building 10, the Barker Engineering Library.
Castadoro said Pac-Man and Blinky, like other prank installations, were eventually taken down. "(We) usually don't allow stuff to stay up,'' Castadoro said.
Pranks of this type, known as "hacks,'' are a tradition on MIT's campus, showing off students' technical abilities, rebellious streak, and quirky sense of humor.
Other things that have appeared on the dome have included replicas of a fire truck, the Apollo lunar module, an MBTA Red Line train car, the Wright Brothers' plane, and a snowman.

Preventing HIV: New Tools, New Hope
Winter 2010/2011
HIV medications have been used for some time to prevent HIV transmission, including the prevention of mother-to-child transmission and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP, giving HIV meds after exposure to the virus). Studies have also shown that the likelihood of transmitting HIV to someone else decreases in people whose viral load has been suppressed by HIV treatment. Research is under way to expand this list further. For example, microbicides that contain HIV drugs and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) have both recently shown promising results in clinical trials.
Twenty years ago, these prevention strategies were merely a wish list based on the scientific logic that a drug that can lower the viral load of HIV in the body should also be able to reduce transmission of the virus. Slowly, these wishes are becoming realities.
Microbicides are gels or creams used in the vagina or rectum that are designed to prevent or reduce the sexual transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Last July, the long-awaited results of the CAPRISA 004 trial were finally reported. This trial studied the safety and effectiveness of a gel containing Viread. It studied 889 women, aged 18-40, in South Africa who were advised to use the gel within the 12 hours before sex, and within 12 hours after sex.
Results from the study found there were 39% fewer new HIV infections in women who used the gel compared with those who used a placebo (dummy) gel. In women who used the gel more regularly, infections were reduced by 54%. Further, the study found that there was no resistance to Viread among women who used the gel and acquired HIV during the study. The gel also appeared to lower the transmission of herpes virus.
It is important to note that the CAPRISA results are only the first step toward an effective microbicide. The trial was done in a specific population, and the small number of participants limits the ability to apply the results to the general population. Furthermore, questions remain about the timing in applying microbicides. Can it be taken immediately before sex? Due to the dosing strategy of the study, no conclusions can be made about how the timing of use affects its effectiveness. More studies are being conducted to confirm and expand on the CAPRISA findings. These studies will also provide further information on the use of a daily gel and the rectal use of the gel.
In November 2010, results of the first study looking at the safety and effectiveness of a daily oral dose of Truvada to prevent HIV infection were reported. The study, known as "iPrEx," was done from 2007 and 2010, and included 2,499 HIV-negative men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women who have sex with men. Participants were from Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, the U.S., South Africa, and Thailand.
People in the study took either a daily Truvada pill or a placebo. Everyone was interviewed once a month, tested for HIV, and counseled on adherence. They were given a physical exam every three months and tested for other STIs, receiving treatment if needed.
In addition to finding daily Truvada safe, the study found about 44% fewer infections in those taking it. Further, it found that PrEP reduced HIV infection by 58% among participants at higher risk for HIV (those who reported having unprotected receptive anal intercourse). This is a major step forward, as it is the first study to show the effectiveness of PrEP. Once again, the effectiveness of the drug was linked to adherence. Almost all of the men in the study who got HIV even though they were assigned to take Truvada didn't have any Truvada in their blood -- meaning they most likely were not taking it at all.
The other interesting finding was that adherence was not only lower than expected, it was also lower than people reported or than was shown by pill counts. Participants claimed at least 90% adherence, but measuring drug levels in their blood found that in reality it was about 50%. Based on pill counts and self-reports, the effectiveness of PrEP in people who took more than half their doses was 50%, and it was 73% in people who took more than 90% of their doses. People who took less than 90% of their doses showed only a 21% reduction in HIV infection. But the significantly lower actual adherence levels make analyses based on pill counts unreliable.
More data and results are expected in the months to come, and a rollover study is under way. This study offers Truvada to all HIV-negative iPrEx participants, and will provide important information on any changes in adherence and risk behavior when people know they are using a partially effective prevention strategy.
Several other PrEP trials are under way in African and Asian countries, in heterosexuals and drug users. PrEP is also being studied for different routes of HIV transmission, including vaginal intercourse and intravenous drug use. One study is comparing daily Truvada with or without a Viread microbicide, to look for differences in effectiveness, drug resistance risk, costs, and tolerance. Results are expected in early 2013, but we can expect to receive information on some of the studies later this year.
The Future
There are important questions to answer about the use of these new tools. With current ADAP waiting lists at 6,000 in the U.S., there must be careful planning as to how these methods would be used in the areas they are most needed. It is estimated that as many as half of all HIV-positive people in the U.S. are not currently receiving treatment. Black men, who are among the most vulnerable to HIV, show even lower rates of treatment. Efforts must be made to ensure that those at highest risk for infection are able to use the most up-to-date prevention methods.
Data suggest that PrEP can have a huge impact on the epidemic in the U.S. and be cost-effective if the following conditions are met: reaching MSM at highest risk for infection; providing PrEP along with other prevention tools, including condoms and risk-reduction counseling; and ensuring high levels of adherence among those taking the meds.
The target population for a vaginal microbicide will most likely be women in Africa. Sex workers, women who are unable to ensure monogamy, or those who are unable to use condoms for a variety of reasons, will also be targeted. Further, should microbicides prove effective in preventing HIV through anal sex, MSM would also be a target population.
People will need to come forward and identify themselves as part of the groups described above, so the success of a microbicide will depend heavily on community education. The gel will also need to be readily available and offered with confidential counseling services. But it should not replace condoms since it will not offer 100% protection. It must be explained to users that microbicides are part of a package, not a single magic bullet.
PrEP will likely be given to those most at risk. One group would be HIV-negative people with partners who have HIV. This means there will need to be increased counseling of people with HIV about disclosure. PrEP may also be recommended for people who have sex with someone who is at high risk for HIV. This includes sex workers and their clients, certain MSM, intravenous drug users, and men with more than one partner. PrEP will have to be stopped in people who become HIV positive or have severe side effects. This shows the need for regular follow-up, including HIV testing.

Freightliner LED Lights
Select Your Model:
Car accessories are objects and devices that the car manufacturer does not offer, i.e., the car buyer may or may not make such additions or alterations to the car. Many of these accessories serve a minor or major function, while some are essentially for enhancing the aesthetic appeal. Car buyers can buy such accessories based on the purpose that such accessories are to serve and the costs involved. At times, it becomes essential to ensure that accessories blend with the other things in or on the car.
Freightliner accessories from CARiD.com include variation in wheel designs. Car owner can replace the wheel designs that the manufacturer offers to give a personalized look. These wheels need to match with the car's design and not affect the car's performance. Wheel locks are other wheel-associated accessories that the car buyer may choose to purchase.
Splashguards are accessories that protect splashing on wheels. Car covers ensure that the exteriors are not damaged in bad weather. Bumper applique is another accessory for cars. It is fixed on the rear bumper. This protects the rear bumper from getting damaged when things are being placed in and out of the vehicle. Sport mufflers change the sound from the car to more sporty type reflecting the attitude of the car owner.
Using audio systems and electrical equipments in the car has become a very common thing. Freightliner accessories in this category include satellite radio, CD changer, and remote control for starting the engine.
Inside the car, people might require some additional lighting near the car's control panel, so there are internal illumination systems. Cigarette lighters, first aid boxes, engine block heating systems, floor mats, etc., are other objects that may be required for any car including Freightliner cars. However, the fact that such products are often sold by authorized Freightliner dealers does not imply that Freightliner car manufacturer endorses it.

World shares rose modestly while the dollar fell on Tuesday as the initial impact of a massive storm in the United States looked to have been less severe than feared.
The greenback also traded at a one-week low against the yen after the Bank of Japan disappointed many investors by easing policy less aggressively than they had hoped after a slump in factory output and exports during September.
Continue Reading Below
However, activity was subdued everywhere since U.S. share and bond markets were closed on Tuesday as one of the biggest storms to hit the country, codenamed Sandy, left large areas of New York City without power or public transport.
The FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares <.FTEU3> was up 0.6 percent at 1,100.12 points and, after gains earlier in Asia, the MSCI world equity index <.MIWD00000PUS> had risen 0.25 percent to 328.68 points.
Strategists said it was too early to tell what impact the destruction caused by Sandy might have on markets.
"Volumes are very low with Wall Street (closed), which makes today's gains quite fragile, and the potential impact of the storm for the insurance sector, estimated at around $20 billion, has not been priced in yet," said Patrice Perois, trader at Kepler Capital Markets in Paris.
Demand for the dollar and U.S. bonds tends to rise in times of reduced appetite to take on risk, but if widespread damage prompts speculation the U.S. Federal Reserve could ease monetary policy further to shore up the economy, they could fall back.
Across European stock markets attention was on corporate earnings with results from well known names like Deutsche Bank , Swiss banking giant UBS and oil major BP lifting prices. UBS shares leapt over five percent as it confirmed a plan to cut 10,000 jobs.
The UK's FTSE 100 index was up 0.6 percent, Germany's DAX index up 0.9 percent, and the Switzerland's SMI up 0.47 percent.
In currency markets, the yen rose broadly after a new plan from the Bank of Japan to increase its asset purchases by 11 trillion yen ($138 billion) disappointed some market players who had positioned for a more aggressive increase.
"It was a very skeptical response to the BOJ policy meeting, made worse by the fact they have revised lower the growth and inflation outlook," said Jane Foley, senior currency strategist at Rabobank. "That has seen the yen unwind a lot of the softer tone we saw going into this meeting."
The dollar hit a one-week low of 79.25 yen and was down 0.3 percent against a basket of major currencies at 79.67 points.
The weaker dollar helped the European common currency climb 0.3 percent to $1.2935, with lower yields on Spanish and Italian bonds adding to the better mood.
But gains for the euro are still expected to be limited by continuing questions over whether Greece can agree a deal on more austerity, and when Spain might request financial aid.
New data on Spain's economic performance released on Tuesday confirmed the recession has extended into a third quarter, with inflation staying high.
However, 10-year Spanish yields were little changed at 5.66 percent.
"Spain's economy is suffering terribly, which will continue to hit government revenues, and a modest decline in bond yields will not solve the problem," said Kit Juckes, strategist at Societe Generale.
German government bonds, the benchmark of European fixed-income markets, were also little changed and Italy was able to sell 7 billion euros of new five- and 10-year government bonds at the lowest cost since May 2011.
The positive Italian auction came despite former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi's threat on the weekend to bring down the technocratic government of Mario Monti.
"The market will have to get used to higher volatility as Italy approaches elections next spring," said Chiara Manenti, bond analyst at Intesa SanPaolo.
Italian 10-year yields were 3 basis points lower on the day at 4.98 percent, having risen about 25 basis points in the last two weeks.
In oil markets, prices were mostly steady as traders awaited news of the damage inflicted by Sandy, one of the biggest storms ever recorded in the United States, on refineries and pipelines. A drop in demand caused by the storm had kept prices soft.
Brent oil fell 17 cents to $109.27 a barrel while U.S. crude was down 1 cent at $85.53.
"People are just holding back a little bit to see if there's any real damage and impact, and at the moment it's too hard to see," said Bjarne Schieldrop, an analyst at SEB in Oslo.
"It's very clear that it's a very vast energy infrastructure network in that region and it's going to be impacted in some way, in terms of all the logistics to transport oil and oil products," he added.

Not a Skier? Try These 8 Unusual Winter Sports Instead
The options are always the same: skiing, sledding, ice skating. Why not try something a little more unconventional this winter? From weaving through trails with a team of dogs to flying through snow-covered canopies on a zip line, these eight ideas will mix up your season, whether you're looking for family fun or adrenaline-pumping thrills.
Think water skiing with snow, cross-country skis, and a team of one to three dogs, attached by harnesses and a rope. Derived from the Norwegian term for "ski driving,'' skijoring has popped up in a handful of resorts throughout New England. Peace Pups Dog Sledding in Lake Elmore, Vt., offers two-hour lessons and skijor treks, with equipment and ski rentals available. Participants have the option of bringing their own dog or using one of the company's dogs. Call well in advance to schedule a tour.
Fun fact: skijoring, done both recreationally and competitively, can also use horses or motor vehicles.

Ice Sailing
This one's pretty self explanatory: sailing across frozen bodies of water. Also known as ice boating and yachting, ice sailing requires a specially designed sailboat mounted on three stainless-steel runner blades. Ice sailing can be done on virtually any solid frozen lake or pond, and sailors can either build or buy their own boats. While there are no official venues, the New England Ice Yacht Association—based out of Southborough—serves nearly 200 members throughout New England, connecting them with safe locations and annual competitions for practice. The NEIYA Commodore, Jim "T'' Theiler (pictured in his boat, DN 5224), told us that Sebago Lake in Maine, Lake Champlain in Vermont, and Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire are among his top choices. Call or visit their website to learn how to join.
Fun fact: Theiler says the ice boats can reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour, depending on the wind and the ice.

Thanks to the Winter Olympics, most people have probably heard of curling: that quirky event where players slide rounded "stones'' across a sheet of ice. What many people don't know is that there are curling clubs throughout the country, many dedicated to teaching the sport. The Cape Cod Curling Club in Falmouth offers lessons for adults and children, including training, introductory leagues, as well as regular leagues for the more experienced players. Call or visit their website to sign up for a lesson.
Fun fact: Approximately 1.5 million people in more than 33 countries curl, according to Cape Cod Curling Club's website.

Snow Biking
It may sound crazy, but winter is a great time to ride a mountain bike. If you can adjust to the trails, biking on the ice and snow can allow more time for exploration in typically undiscovered areas during the offseason. Most riders stick to frozen lakes and snowmobile trails since cross-country skiing trails are usually off-limits, according to Eastside Bike Guides instructor Chris Krug. For those who want to learn snow biking, also called ice biking, EBG, located in in North Conway, N.H., offers professional guided rides throughout the season and can tailor lessons to any level. Call or check out their website to book a lesson.
Fun fact: "Fat bikes,'' Krug said, are specialty bikes designed for riding in softer conditions, like snow, and are frequently used in snow biking. The tires and rims are nearly double the width: 4 inches as opposed to 2.3 inches.

Put away the sleds. Airboarding is a high-tech twist on mainstream downhill sledding. The Airboard is a small water raft-like structure: It's inflatable, lightweight, and triangle-shaped allowing higher speeds than your standard snow tube. The grooves on the bottom provide traction, allowing the rider to make sharp turns and stop quickly with the shift of their body weight. Only a handful of resorts offer airboarding, including Smuggler's Notch Resort in Vermont, which provides equipment, mandatory first-time lessons, and use of the chairlift to its one designated airboarding trail (pictured). Call ahead for reservations and trail conditions.
Fun fact: Airboard speeds far surpass the standard sled, reaching more than 80 miles per hour for experienced riders. The newcomer average tends to be in the 30–40 miles per hour range.

Snow Kiting
Ever wanted to learn how to fly? Snow kiting comes pretty close. A variation of skiing, the rider uses wind power to propel themselves into the air and across snow and ice. The kite—a foil, parachute-like structure—acts as a sail. It features a harness and handles that allow the rider to steer and control it. Snow kiting can be done in any open space with enough snow and wind (such as New Hampshire's Lake Chocorua, pictured). In New England, lakes are the best spots to try this sport. For snow-kiting newbies, Hardwater Kiting, based in North Conway, N.H., has more than 40 sites—called launch areas—and they offer certified snow-kite instruction, coaching, gear, and guiding services throughout northern New England. Some of the best places to try out are Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, Moosehead Lake in Maine, and Lake Champlain in Vermont, according to instructor Chris Krug. Call for more information on gear rentals and to set up lessons.
Fun fact: Experienced snowkiters can ride 100 miles or more in a single day, said Krug, and exceed over 70 miles per hour.

Snow Golf
A popular activity throughout Canada, this quirky sport is loosely based on actual golf, played on snow or ice instead of grass. The courses feature nine holes and the balls and tees can come in bright colors to avoid blending with the "whites,'' the snow golf term for "greens.'' While there has yet to be a venue in New England that offers it regularly, the Loon Mountain Resort in Lincoln, N.H. (pictured on the Ox Trail), hosts an annual snow golf event, with proceeds benefiting New Hampshire's 200 Court Appointed Special Advocates. This year's event will be on Feb. 6 and all equipment will be provided. Go online to register.
Fun fact: Snow golf, also known as ice golf, is popular in Canada and throughout Europe. The annual World Ice Golf Championship has been held in Greenland since 1997.

Winter Ziplining
Nothing beats an aerial view of winter scenery. Get a group together and check out local ziplining canopy tours. Participants fly from tree platform to tree platform and test their strength with obstacle courses, all while taking in the snow-covered forests and mountains. Alpine Adventures in Lincoln, N.H., offers three tours fit for beginners to advanced thrill-seekers. Smuggler's Notch in northern Vermont partners with ArborTrek's Zip Line Canopy Tour to provide participants with a fully guided group experience, equipment provided, complete with tips, tricks, and local history. The courses are designed to progress, catering to both beginners and enthusiasts, starting with lower descents and ending with the highest and wildest. Call or go online in advance to book a tour.
Fun fact: The zipline dates back to the 1800s. Today, there are more than 200 ziplining facilities in the United States alone.

On the fifth anniversary of the Tulip Revolution that brought your government to power on the promise of democratic reform, the Committee to Protect Journalists is writing to express alarm at your government's backsliding on press freedom.
In addition to the increase in violent attacks against reporters, we are concerned about a recent wave of official intimidation of private broadcasters to drop critical programming, the blocking of internal access to independent news Web sites, and the suspension of independent newspapers in retaliation for their coverage of anti-government protests and corruption.
CPJ research shows that a number of critical outlets, including the Kyrgyz service of the U.S. government-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (also known as Radio Azattyk), the independent news Web sites Ferghana, CentrAsia, and Bely Parus, the popular blogging platform LiveJournal, and the independent newspapers Achyk Sayasat and Nazar, have come under attack from state agencies after reporting on sensitive political issues
According to CPJ interviews and regional press reports, the Kyrgyz
state communications agency, Kyrgyzstan's Prosecutor General's Office, and the
country's main telecommunications provider, Kyrgyztelecom, blocked, filed
charges against, or took off the air these media outlets after they reported on
a recent wave of anti-government protests in the Kyrgyz capital, Bishkek, and
in the regions. The outlets had also criticized Kyrgyz authorities and covered
the money-laundering indictment in
Coverage of these contentious issues has been conspicuously absent
Tyntchtykbek Tchoroyev, head of Radio Azattyk, told CPJ that in
early March, several private radio and television stations across
Despite assurances by Prime Minister Daniyar Usenov that he would address the matter, the broadcasts have not been restored.
Several independent Central Asia news Web sites, including Ferghana and Bely Parus, as well as of the popular blogging platform LiveJournal, have been blocked recently.
These Internet outlets are known for carrying critical reports and views in opposition
to your government's policies.
In the latest attack against the press, on March 18, Pervomaisky District Court in Bishkek ordered the suspension of the independent Kyrgyz-language newspapers Achyk Sayasat and Nazar while the court is hearing a case on the alleged insult of your honor and dignity. The case stems from a March 16 article by exiled opposition activist Ravshan Dzheyenbekov, carried by both papers, in which he accused the Kyrgyz government and presidency of corruption, nepotism, and failure to address pressing social and economic issues. Prosecutors have demanded that the newspapers each pay damages of 5 million Kyrgyz som (US$112,000)—a sum that would not only threaten the newspapers' existence but also broaden the already widespread self-censorship in the press.
We urge you to stop the Prosecutor General's Office from using your name as a means to censor critical news outlets, such as in the case against Achyk Sayasat and Nazar, which gives the impression that you are unable to tolerate public scrutiny.
this important anniversary, we urge you to publicly condemn the anti-press
freedom campaign that is currently sweeping
We look forward to your response.

I'm mainly curious about the 240% part. oh, wait, are you just dividing 24 MB/s by 10 MB/s in the table at the bottom? that's silly. > Why is it comparable to or faster from a processor running at around > 40% of GigaBit processor speeds?

OK, I get the point. though I have to say I really don't expect optical WDM firewire to make any difference ;) what's the latency of a typical 1394 switch? are they all store/forward? are they all full wirespeed (in internal bandwidth)? what's the max fanout? I'd personally love to see something better in every way than GBE/10GE, but just don't see it happening. no, please, don't suggest IB :)

Eileen Gray
Neither a design lesson nor a tedious biography of the enigmatic Eileen Gray, this exhibition has been created in the image of the artist that it honours: discreet, modest and overflowing with personal creations. Here, it's no more nor less than a woman's free and unique talent that is being showcased, almost independently of all artistic, historic or personal context: and this could be the most natural way of accessing the work of this unclassifiable and secretive Irish aristocrat, who since her 'rediscovery' in 1972 (after a furniture sale by Jacques Doucet, one of her most faithful collectors) has been hailed as of the sacred giants of modern architecture.
Miss Gray was one of those avant-garde women who wore trousers and broke into a man's world with their creative flair. A self-made woman and multitalented designer, she spent a good portion of her long (1878-1976) life in France – after her studies at London's Slade school of art, she moved to Paris in 1902 where she learned (in the studio of Seizo Sugawara) to create futuristic furniture in lacquer, and to insinuate into her screens, tables and lamps the oblique lines that prefigured modernism. Anti-conformist and jack of all trades, she wasted no time in opening her own gallery (under the pseudonym of Jean Désert, as the phallocratic society of the 1920s required), in making carpets with the airs of abstract canvases, and in getting closer and closer to cabinet-making and chrome, increasing her daring while cultivating a more and more austere style. In the Pompidou exhibition, sketches and furniture punctuate the major stages of her career in a well-orchestrated layout that leads the viewer quickly to her architectural works: the Villa E 1027 at Roquebrune (created with the Romanian Jean Badovici) and her own house, Tempe a Pailla, in the heights of Menton.
If she bloomed fully in the geometric simplicity of the Corbusier school (they were friends until he adulterated the Villa E 1027 by painting colourful frescoes onto the walls without her permission), throughout her long career Eileen Gray never stopped juggling between the strict lines of the architecture of her age and a more human, traditional softness. To the rigidity of the straitjacket,, she preferred the eternal promise of metamorphosis. Pliable chairs, mobile screens, 'seat-stepladder-towel-rails', drawers that transformed the contours of a chest by opening in a fan shape, each piece is unique (she never created a single industrial piece, only prototypes). At the Centre Pompidou, slides, maquettes and photos of interiors reproduced as wallpaper (the apartment on the Rue Bonaparte, the salon of the Villa E 1027), allow us to view the furniture in context: the result is dynamic, fluid and alive. And if you learn little about Gray as a person and her place in the history of design, you experience the incredible originality of a woman who remains underappreciated, and who utterly deserves her reputation as an intrepid adventurer in modernity.

You know what we'll really miss about Gossip Girl? The clothes, duh! Over six steamy seasons, costume designer Eric Daman did some pretty unforgettable things with fashion, making the show a kind of Clueless for the 2000s. Here's what we learned along the way.
1. Cultivate a signature style. Can you even look at a headband without thinking about Blair Waldorf? It was her sartorial trademark since season one, and it helped define who she was throughout the series--ladylike, well-mannered, and just sassy enough to keep up with Chuck. Yours doesn't have to be an accessory, but if you choose one thing and own it--think wild prints, the tomboy thing, or even omnipresent towering heels--your look will say so much more in an instant.
2. Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. Beyond those headbands, there was an incredible amount of visual icing-on-the-cake going on during every episode: Quirky hats, oodles of jewelry, textured tights, and thoughtfully-placed scarves all upped the fashion ante. It's also your best bet for updating your own wardrobe without breaking the bank.
3. There's nothing sexier than a well-dressed man. Yes, Chuck Bass is a royal @$$%*l& most of the time, but we still found ourselves falling for him week after week. Lesson learned: The right suit can make up for a multitude of sins.
4. A little color goes a long way. Why wear boring black when you can go all out in coral and saffron? Blair's wardrobe was the best example of being unafraid to mix up seriously bold hues--and after all, she is one of the 9 best dressed TV characters of all time!
5. True prep will never go out of style. If we learned one thing from the gang's days at Constance Billard and St. Jude's, it's that a striped repp tie, plaid scarf, and tweed blazer will be fashionable forever.
6. Every girl deserves a goddess moment. Okay, so these ladies attended multiple black tie events in one week on a regular basis, but for the rest of us, one in a lifetime is still pretty major. Whether it's your wedding day, your prom, or a charity gala, "getting ridiculously decked out in a ball gown" belongs on everyone's bucket list.
Will you miss Gossip Girl as much as we will? What was your favorite-ever fashion moment from the series? And what did you think of last night's finale? Discuss!

Dear Dr. Don,
Continue Reading Below
Do you recommend investing in actively managed mutual funds or exchange-traded funds?
Thank you,
-Jeff Juncture
Dear Jeff,
That's a complex question. There's the more basic choice between investing in mutual funds or exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, and then the decision of whether to pursue an active investment strategy.
First, we need to distinguish between trading and investing. A trader moves in and out of financial securities trying to capture short-term price changes. A trader would lean toward ETFs because they trade intraday, while mutual funds trade at the end of the day. A trader also would be attracted to ETFs because they don't have the redemption fees and other features that many mutual funds have implemented to discourage people from trading in and out of their funds.
So, a trader would lean toward ETFs. An investor can make the case for either type of investment vehicle.
Active management of your investment portfolio means your investment managers look to "beat the market." With a passive investment strategy, such as indexing, the investment manager is looking to "be the market."
Active management is more expensive than passive management. For active management to pay off, the active manager has to earn a return, after fees and expenses, higher than the passive manager's indexed investment after fees.
A nice compromise is to use a core-satellite portfolio strategy, where your core holdings are passively managed, earning market returns and paying low expense ratios, while you also have a satellite portfolio or portfolios for active-management decisions.
ETFs started out by mimicking the indexed mutual funds but have since expanded their horizon into actively managed investment vehicles, commodities and even derivatives. There can be tax advantages in ETF investing, but there also can be tax traps. There really is no substitute for reading the investment prospectus with these investments to understand what's held in the ETF and the tax ramifications of investing in it.

Yesterday I added a link on the Johnson Monroe Yahoo group site to my register report of the descendants of Dabney Collins (f/o Francis Marion Collins m. Polly B. Monroe) . I hope a Collins researcher/descendant will check Logan Co. and Simpson Co. marriage records to verify the names and dates of the two wives I have for Dabney. I haven't followed all of FM and Polly's children but have some descendants for Leonidas, Georgia, Charles Elmore, Susan Eva and Marion Boles. Please let me know of errors/additions, etc. I'm about "Collins'ed out" for now and I'm itching to move on to look at other cousin lines.
I haven't decided which Monroe descendant lines I will concentrate on next but think maybe those who went to Wayne Co., Illinois from Barren Co., KY prior to 1850. I have earlier done census work on many of them through 1880 and some through 1900. Since then I've gathered a lot more information re spouse names, who moved where and when so maybe now I can follow more of them through the 1930 census. Do any of my Mathew and Rebecca descendant cousins know Mathew Monroe and Rebecca Allen are in the 1830 Wayne Co., IL census? I've always found this curious as all their children claim to be born in Barren Co., KY and they are Barren Co census in 1840 and 1850 censuses so they must not have lived in Wayne Co. for very long. They move to Cass Co., Illinois about 1852/53.
Hope some of you will comment once in a while. I feel like I am writing into a void.

Subtitle: In spite of several Biblical prohibitions against "adding to", or "taking away from" Scripture, the Roman Catholic Church has changed the Ten Commandments, eliminating one commandment!
As we were perusing a Roman Catholic Bible, bought from the famous La Sallette Shrine in Attleboro, Massachusetts, we discovered something very interesting, yet very disturbing. Within the Bible, in the exact middle, actually, this Bible had several full pages with key teachings on each page. These teachings were as follows:
1) THE GOOD SHEPHERD PSALM -- taken from Psalm 23
2) THE TEN COMMANDMENTS -- "Adapted from Exodus 20:2-17, and placed in this order by St. Augustine"
3) THE MAGNIFICAT -- Luke 1:46-55
4) THE SEVEN SACRAMENTS -- As Below
Baptism -- Matthew 28:18-19
Confirmation -- Acts 8:14-17
Holy Eucharist -- Matthew 26:26-28
5) IN HOLY SCRIPTURE -- As Below
Penance -- John 20_22-23
Anointing of the Sick -- James 5:14
Holy Orders -- Acts 14:23
Matrimony -- 1 Cor 7:10-11
6) THE BEATITUDES -- Matthew 5_3-10
7) THE LORD'S PRAYER -- Faith, Hope, Charity, Temperance, Justice, Prudence, Fortitude (Also called The Our Father, or the Ideal Prayer. It asks for seven Christian Virtues. Matthew 6:9-13)
["Holy Bible: The New American Bible, Family Edition, Translated from the Original Languages with Critical Use of All the Ancient Sources and The Revised new Testament Authorized By The Board Of Trustees of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine and Approved by the Administrative Committee/Board of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and the United States Catholic Conference, Catholic Bible Press, a division of Thomas Nelson Publishers, Nashville.

First, let us list the Roman Catholic Ten Commandments
1. I, the Lord am your God ...
You shall have no other gods beside me
2. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain
3. Remember to keep holy the Sabbath Day
4. Honor your father and your mother
5. You shall not kill
6. You shall not commit adultery
7. You shall not steal
8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor
9. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife
10. You shall not covet your neighbor's house
"Adapted from Exodus 20:2-17, and placed in this order by St. Augustine"
Now, let us examine the actual Biblical Ten Commandments [Exodus 20: 1-17]
1. "I am the LORD thy God ... Thou shalt have no other gods before me".
2. "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments."
3. "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."
4. "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates"
5. "Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."
6. "Thou shalt not kill."
7. "Thou shalt not commit adultery."
8. "Thou shalt not steal."
9. "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour."
10. "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's."
Now, when you carefully compare the Roman Catholic Ten Commandments with the true Biblical Ten Commandments, you immediately see the difference. Commandment #2 is eliminated altogether, while the True Commandment #10 is divided into 2 commandments so that the Roman Catholic Commandments may stay 10 rather than being so obvious as to number only 9!!
This is truly blasphemous!! Why would the Roman Catholic Church want to eliminate True Commandment #2? Why, it is obvious, is it not? Let us reprint this True Commandment #2, so we can the more easily examine it.
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments." [Exodus 20:4-6]
As you can see, when the Roman Catholic Teaching eliminated this commandment, they eliminated three (3) whole verses! Not only that, but they eliminated the only verse which talks about how jealous God is whenever anyone makes a graven image of anything, being human or animal or natural object, and then prays to and/or worships that graven image!! Obviously, if Catholics, starting with young Catholics, were taught this commandment, they would naturally question praying to statutes of "Saints".
The St. Joseph's Baltimore Catechism lists the Ten Commandments in just this way. Of course, they try to justify praying to saints as saying that such prayer does not constitute "worship", or veneration due to God alone.
A lot of ambiguity may be cleared up when we examine the definition of the word, "worship", from my Webster's Illustrated Encyclopedic Dictionary. Listen to the official definition:
" 1. The reverent love and allegiance accorded to a deity, idol, or sacred object; 2. A set of ceremonies, prayers, or other religious forms by which this love is expressed; 3. Ardent devotion; adoration" [Page 1894]
Obviously, the ardent devotion shown to Roman Catholic saints, and the Virgin Mary, completely fulfills this definition of "worship"! Furthermore, when you contemplate the scenario of a "saint" being able to hear simultaneous prayers from possibly hundreds of millions of Roman Catholic parishioners at any moment in time, is a feat that only a God Who is Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent can possibly ever accomplish. Thus, by your very devotion and your prayers and your hopes for Intercession, you are making the saint to whom you are praying into a god in your life! You are violating the True Commandment #2, and the Catholic Church knows it, which is why they have Traditionally eliminated this commandment.
You may be angry with me now, and you may violently disregard my warnings now. But, one day, you will stand face-to-face with Jesus Christ! When He tells you that you lived your life in constant violation of True Commandment #2, you will be so shocked by the very face-to-face encounter with Jesus, you will not be able to open your mouth to tell Him how wrong He is when He tells you that He never agreed to set aside His commandment against creating and worshipping graven images!!
The Roman Catholic Church, and her many theologians, understand all this. You know they do, when they eliminate this prohibition against graven images. Now, when you turn to the actual Biblical text in this Catholic Bible quoted above, you get the full and correct text. In other words, the True Commandment #2 against carving and worshipping idols is there, big as life, in this Catholic Bible. Now, why would Catholics keep the actual text in, while taking it out of the full page listing of the Ten Commandments? Why would they lie when creating the full page listing? This is damnable, and shows their true intentions. The Catholic theologians who created this Bible know full well that 95% of their people will never actually read the text; rather, they will go to the full page listing of the Ten Commandments to read them. Or, they will learn the Ten Commandments in Catechism, which still teaches the "Traditional" Catholic Ten Commandments, with the True #2 missing.
In God's eyes, how serious is this practice of eliminating Scripture? The answer is that God views this editing of His Word most seriously. Consider the following Scripture:
1) Matthew 24:35 -- "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."
2) Matthew 5:18 -- "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." If Jesus says that not one jot or tittle [period or punctuation mark] shall pass away until His Second Coming is accomplished, then how dare any mere men eliminate words which the Lord still considers valid?
3) Deuteronomy 4:2 -- "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you."
4) Deuteronomy 12:32 -- "What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it."
5) Proverbs 30:5-6 -- "Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." Did you notice that God calls a person a liar who adds to his word? The same is true for anyone who takes any words away. At this point, I need to remind you that almost all of the Roman Catholic Traditions of the Church is an "adding to" Scripture!! Thus, it is forbidden.
6) Revelation 22:18-19 -- "18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." Wow, this warning, from Jesus Christ Himself, is very heavy. He seems to be denying Heaven to anyone who adds to or takes away from His Words in Revelation. But, this warning is simply a restatement of these other warnings, as we have shared them with you, above.
Now, the response to these warnings is up to you. Will you heed our warnings that the Roman Catholic Church is a counterfeit "Christian" Church. Please read our many articles, and you will see such a pattern of "adding to" and "taking away" of Scripture, that you cannot help but conclude that the Roman Catholic Church is a false church.
Your eternal soul is at stake.
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that nothing will not hurt you spiritually. You will also know the greatest heart peace that the greatest God can give to one of His own children.
If you would like to become Born Again, and come to know this wonderful heart peace, turn to our Salvation Page now.

An unarmed, unmanned U.S. drone flying in international airspace was fired on by Iran last week, Pentagon officials confirmed on Thursday, highlighting mounting tensions between the two countries. The move's ultimate impact on oil prices will depend on several factors, analysts said.
"When geopolitical tensions increase prices tend to rebound due to the simple fact that there is close to no spare capacity," said Olivier Jakob, founder and managing director of Swiss-based Petromatrix.
Continue Reading Below
Oil traders aren't forecasting much of a bullish rally from the attack, though, saying tightening sanctions on the oil producer that halved the country's oil exports this year have already been priced into the market, easing supply-side pressures on the West.
Oil traded slightly higher on Thursday, settling up 0.77% to $85.09 a barrel. Crude is still off about 22.48% from its 52-week high of $106.77 from February and is down 13.90% year-to-date.
While oil prices ticked up about 35 cents following initial headlines of the attack on the drone, the modest buying slowed once the Pentagon confirmed the attack occurred late last week.
Of Thursday's reaction in the oil markets, Jeff Mower, editor in chief of Platts' Oilgram price report, said the market "may have just shrugged it off."
"The truth of the matter is from an oil standpoint, if indeed this were a live story, we might have seen a bigger reaction, but given it happened a few days ago, it's not a big deal," said Phil Flynn, a futures account executive for the Price Futures Group and author of The Energy Report.
U.S. and European sanctions on Iran have choked the country's oil revenue, an effort by the Western nations to pressure the Middle Eastern country to stall uranium enrichment, a key component in building nuclear weapons.
Geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, tend to cause dramatic moves in oil prices amid supply fears. In 2007, for example, when Iran seized members of Britain's Royal Navy after claiming they had been in Iran's territorial waters, oil spiked to a three-month high.
However, Flynn said the market is "better supplied than it was back then," which provides the oil market the flexibility to bounce back or ignore potential supply disruptions.
And with oil sanctions on Iran this year already crippling the nation's exports, western oil consumers have largely replaced Iranian oil, meaning the drone attack may not have as critical impact on the market as it might have a few years ago, Flynn said.
Any direction prices take in reaction to last week's drone strike will depend on a number of factors, including whether further oil sanctions against Iran are enacted or whether the U.S. responds to the attack militarily or otherwise.
"I think [the market] has priced in the loss of Iranian exports to a large degree," Mower said. "But that's not to say it can't have an impact down the road."
In its announcement Thursday, the Pentagon said Iran fired on an unarmed U.S. drone last week that had been flying over the Arabian Sea in international airspace about 16 nautical miles off the coast of Kuwait.
The U.S. said it was never in Iranian airspace and that the drone was conducting "routine surveillance." Despite being fired at twice and pursued by two Iranian jets for a short time, the drone was never hit.
Pentagon spokesman George Little said the U.S. has protested to the Iranians and when asked how the U.S. could respond, he said there are a wide range of options.
When asked whether it should be considered an act of war, though, Little said he didn't want to get into "legal characterizations."
The U.S. also unleashed a new round of financial sanctions against Iran on Thursday, the first since President Barack Obama won reelection earlier this week.

The U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Energy and the National Science Foundation are moving beyond the debate over global warming and creating a program to develop models for predicting climate change.
The program will use nearly $50 million to develop climate system models that provide "insights on climate variability and impacts on ecosystems," according to Roger Beachy, director of USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
"Climate change and its impacts on the land, crops and animals raise some of the most serious issues faced by producers and by society at large," Beachy said. "It is important to understand its potential effect on our world and how we can proactively mitigate its consequences. Accurate and reliable scientific information is critical to sustain an economically viable agriculture."
USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture, DOE and NSF will release a request for proposals for the program in fiscal 2010.
The program seeks proposals that couple climate models at different spatial and temporal scales to erosion, geomorphic change, land use, water management and food production.
In fiscal 2010, NSF will contribute $30 million, DOE $9 million and USDA $10 million. This joint solicitation allows these partner agencies to combine resources and fund the highest-impact projects that support their respective missions without duplicating efforts.
USDA will support research to develop climate models that can be linked to crop, forestry, aquaculture and livestock models to assess the adequacy of potential outcomes of risk management strategies so that development and yields can be projected reliably at different spatial and temporal scales.
Through federal funding and leadership for research, education and extension programs, NIFA focuses on investing in science and solving critical issues impacting people's daily lives and the nation's future.
