Flavors CyRide Council seeks ways to lower 2011 fuel costs By Kayla.Schantz iowastatedaily.com With fuel prices expected to increase, the city of Ames is looking for ways to minimize fuel prices for CyRide in 2011. The Ames City Council will be discussing a proposal to use fuel contracts to purchase fuel for CyRide, in which CyRide would agree to buy enough fuel for a two-month period at a predetermined price. Currently, CyRide purchases fuel every seven to 14 days and pays market price for the thousands of gallons of fuel. Under the pro- posed fuel contracts, the fuel expenditures would be more stable, which could reduce CyRide fuel costs. CyRide would enter into a maximum of five fuel contracts of two months each during the year. This would account for 70 percent of the total CyRide fuel expenses. The remaining 30 percent of the fuel would be bought on the market at a fixed rate, plus a markup or deduct on the market rate. If the proposal passes, the contracts would Microwaved and fast food are often attributed as causes for an increasingly overweight American population.

We don’t yet know the motives of Jared Loughner, the 22-year- old charged with one count of at- tempted assassination of a member of Congress, two counts of killing an employee of the federal government and two counts of attempting to kill a federal employee in the attack that wounded U.S. Rep.

Most accounts paint him as an un- hinged loner — a young man obsessed with government mind control, with a history of disciplinary problems and a tendency to display “nonsensi- cal, disconnected thinking.” He registered as an independent in 2006, and it’s unclear whether he subscribed to any particular political ideology. It’s no secret that political cam- paigns contain plenty of unpleasant interactions. But there is a point at which “unpleasant” crosses a line — and Sarah Palin is that point. Take Palin’s “Take Back the 20” campaign. The phrase “We’ve diagnosed the problem ...
