U.S. retail diesel prices jumped last week, as the national average gained 10 cents a gallon to $3.987, the largest weekly increase in more than seven months, the Department of Energy reported.

Huge 18-mile Crack in Glacier on Pine Island,Global Warming?
A New York-sized glacier is about to break off from Pine Island, a huge 30-mile 'tongue' of ice snaking out from the Hudson Mountains to the Amundsen Sea.
After an eighteen-mile long crack in the ice was photographed by NASA's Operation Ice Bridge last month, the scientists have flown a follow-up mission over the 'calving' iceberg.
'We are actually now witnessing how it happens and it’s very exciting for us,' said Ice Bridge project scientist Michael Studinger, Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. 'To my knowledge, no one has flown a 3D laser imaging instrument over an actively developing rift such as this.'
Pine Island Glacier last calved a significant iceberg in 2001, and some scientists have speculated recently that it was primed to calve again.
But until an Oct. 14 IceBridge flight of NASA's DC-8, no one had seen any evidence of the ice shelf beginning to break apart. Satellite imagery seems to show the first signs of the crack in early October.
Pine Island has scientists' attention because it is both big and unstable – scientists call it the largest source of uncertainty in global sea level rise projections. But the calving underway is part of a natural process, NASA says.
The team diverted their DC-8 back over the glacier for a return scanning mission.
The IceBridge team observed the rift running across the ice shelf for about 18 miles. The Airborne Topographic Mapper makes its precision topography maps with a laser than scans 360 degrees 20 times per second, while firing 3,000 laser pulses per second.
When flying at an altitude of 3,000 feet, as during this flight, it measures a swath of the surface about 1,500 feet wide. The rift is 250 feet wide along most of its length - so the veteran DC-8 pilot had a tricky job to keep the plane straight along the rift. In places, the rift is already 800 feet wide. When the iceberg breaks free it will cover about 340 square miles (880 square kilometers) of surface area.
Radar measurements suggested the ice shelf in the region of the rift is about 1,640 feet (500 meters) feet thick, with only about 160 feet of that floating above water and the rest submerged. It is likely that once the iceberg floats away, the leading edge of the ice shelf will have receded farther than at any time since its location was first recorded in the 1940s.
'A lot of times when you’re in science, you don’t get a chance to catch the big stories as they happen because you’re not there at the right place at the right time,' said John Sonntag, Instrument Team Lead for Operation IceBridge, based at Goddard Space Flight Center. 'But this time we were.'

Car Transport Cargo Insurance in Auto Shipping
If you are looking to transport your car across country or to another state, you will need to be sure the car carrier you choose has the proper cargo insurance. Each car hauler is required by law(FMCSA) to carry cargo insurance. Just because a car transport company is licensed and bonded does not mean they have the proper car insurance. Be sure to do your research when choosing an auto transport company to move your car.
Here is an example of an auto carrier not having the proper cargo insurance on his car hauler; if you are transporting your new 2012 Mercedes Benz S65 from Miami,Florida to Los Angeles,California on an open car carrier able to haul 9 cars. If the car transporter has $250,000 in coverage for his entire car transport trailer and your 2012 Mercedes Benz S65 is worth $200,000 by itself, that only leaves $50,000 in cargo insurance coverage for the other 8 cars. This would be ok if the other 8 cars are older cars only worth $6,250 each. Chances are there will be cars on the car transporter worth much more than that, you get my point, so, in the rare instance there is an accident or problem with the entire car transport load and all units are damaged, there will be a lot of units not covered in the cargo insurance claim if the 9 cars are worth more than $250,000. Most auto transport companies will suggest shipping the 2012 Mercedes Benz S65 in an enclosed car carrier, Paragon Transport suggest this as well, the above will also apply for an enclosed car carrier as well.
When choosing your auto transport company, be sure they are a reputable car transporter and the carrier your car will be shipped on has the proper cargo insurance coverage.
All of Paragon Transport's car carriers are licensed, bonded, and insured with the proper cargo insurance. Call a shipping agent today to get your free car shipping quote. 832-830-5555

Accurate Car Transport Pricing
If you have gotten an auto shipping quote before, you know car shipping rates can be all over the board. Why are car shipping prices all over the board? If you have not gotten an auto shipping quote before, here are a few reasons one quote is $200 more or $200 less than the other. There are many reasons why you will get car shipping prices that seem too high and to low. A very low car shipping price can be given for a few reasons; the car shipping company may not be reputable, they may just be trying to get your initial deposit to up the price later, their transit times are very long, or you were simply misquoted. A very high car shipping price is usually given by large auto shipping companies who need the large profit margin to pay for overhead running cost, have expedited transit times, or again, you were simply misquoted. Paragon Transport offers accurate car transport pricing on all auto shipments. Car transport quoting is not an exact science and car shipping prices change weekly. At Paragon Transport we believe in sticking to the car shipping price quoted, our agents are well trained to quote each transport right the first time. We do not require an initial deposit to set up an auto shipping order. To get an accurate car shipping quote, call now or apply online. www.paragonautotransport.com
Door to Door Car Transport
Door to door car transport is a very common way to ship your car across country.
Paragon Transport offers door to door car transport to all 50 states. One truck and one driver, your car will not be transferred from transport truck to transport truck; the same car carrier that loads your car will deliver your car. We are a licensed, bonded, and insured door to door car shipper offering safe and reliable nationwide car transport. The alternative to door to door car shipping is terminal car shipping; terminal car shipping is a cheaper car shipping service and may be a good option if you are able to wait four to five weeks to get your car. Also, with terminal car shipping there are a few risks, your car will be loaded and off loaded many times as well as being left in an outdoors storage yard full of cars, increasing the chance of damage. So, although terminal car shipping is a cheaper car shipping service, it is not the same level of service as door to door car shipping. Getting a door to door car shipping quote is easy with Paragon Transport, call now or apply online. www.paragonautotransport.com
Shipping Rates
Car shipping rates can be all over the board. When getting a car shipping quote you will need to do your research on the company giving the quote. Any company can give you a cheap car shipping price, but will your car actually get transported. Normally when a company quotes a cheap rate, it is for a reason, they are either not rated very well or they are just trying to get your order and take your deposit. Be sure to read the terms & conditions. Most deposits are not refundable, even if the car shipping company does not move your car. Research, research, research. You can never do to much on the company you are possibly going to do business with. Cheaper is not always better.

We may not be the cheapest car shipping quote you receive, but we will be the most accurate and reliable auto shipping quote.
