Skip to comments.Oregon lawmakers considering per-mile tax for some drivers (no gas purchased = no loot collected)
Posted on 01/04/2013 7:22:55 PM PST by Libloather
PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) - Fuel-efficient cars are designed to save people money on gas, but those who drive them could soon start paying a mileage tax.
The government has been collecting taxes at the pump to pay for building and fixing roads for years, but drivers of electric cars avoid the gas tax because they don't fuel up.
State legislators are looking at adding a tax for cars that get at least 55 miles per gallon, with the money going toward state roads. Some Portland residents say area roads could use the help.
(Excerpt) Read more at kptv.com ...
Doesn't that interfere with their "green" social engineering?
How do they know how far you've gone? Are we talking more toll booths or tracking devices? If I know government, they're working on the latter.
GAH! When are these people going to stop?! We are getting bad ideas from the Leftist control freaks at the rate of about ten per hour.
I'm sure the loons in Portland and Eugene will be more than happy to pay. That's what all the libs and rinos advocate for after all.
We are now dealing with addict behavior
Doesn't matter consequences or hypocracy just more and more tax revenue to feed their addiction
I love that idea, we should raise taxes on all green products like solar panels too
Here in Maryland if you put solar panels on your house the taxpayers pay for half of them, and the other consumers of electric who don't have them pay for the electric you need that the panels dont produce like at night by mandate.
And once that's in place, they'll simply add a five-word clause and amend the statute to include gasoline-powered vehicles.
The devices are available off the shelf today. Made right here in Georgia, USA.
Huge lobbying effort by the company for this very thing. They are already OEM black box and gps suppliers for several European car makers. Europe hasn't started the per mile tax thing.......yet.
My deepest sympathies.
Going to start a new black market I see. These rats are sure smart!
So they tell us to drive less or more efficiently and we do. Now they complain about lower tax revs???
What next? Telling us to smoke again because they are collecting lower tobacco tax revs?
Genius. Pure genius.
Devices may be available, but when I say working on it I more mean getting around the Fourth amendment. Or does that one count anymore?
By the way, I assume even if the devices are installed at the factory it'll be too easy for drivers to interfere with them. Traffic cameras don't seem up to the job. I imagine roaming robot spy planes.
[Less than 1,000 of Oregon's 3.2 million passenger vehicles are currently plug-in hybrid or electric. By 2021, however, the number is expected to spike to 75,000, said Whitty.]
It is truly stupid. My power company can buy clean and reliable power anytime they need to for about 4 cents per kWh. Buying solar from a homeowner costs them retail price, about 12 cents, it's unreliable and not available when it is actually needed (evening hours).
My experiences here turned me against uncontrolled Housing development,
Howard county SW of Balt used to be white and very conservative Republican as late as say ~2000. The ever increasing gov spending around DC with unrestrained housing development and massive immigration Balkan-nized the county and turned it solid Dem, taxes and regulations followed. And ironically wiping out millions of trees in the process they traded that for enslaving us in environmental regulations and taxes.
Now it is hopeless.
And you obviously know some about what happened at the state level.
A mileage tax is a great idea, as long as they eliminate the gasoline tax.
When our own started "free" recycling, the amount of revenue the trash company collected dropped a huge amount. People recycled everything they could. Didn't take long before rates for the now-puny garbage cans shot up to compensate.
Government is chock-full of marketing geniuses who know all about human behavior and incentives.
The database is being assembled.
In Pennsylvania drivers are requested to submit the odomoter reading when renewing tags (only for mail-in at this point, not through the DOT on-line services) and safety inspection mechanics record the odometer onto a paper ledger.
In counties where emission inspection is required the odometer reading is digitally transmitted to the DOT as part of the testing process.
Grab your ankles—it's coming!
You may have missed the point.
Overall they use MORE than the solar energy they generate even if they sell some during peak summer daylight hours.
So they have to net buy some electric off the grid.
But the state mandates that the power company gives the solar panel owners $$$ so they pay zero for it.
You know where the companies get the $$. The goal is to use our $$$ to lure us into buying them, O Malley has 2016 plans.
Nothing more than the law of unintended consequences at work. First you listen to long nose busybodies concerned with "environmental destruction" by us humans, and laws are changed because they demand it, and what do you know, ten years later when all the vehicles get more reasonable fuel mileage, states start to notice that their fuel tax revenue has taken a pretty big hit. Of course no one factored in an economy on the fritz, people driving less, and the better fuel economy.
If I read the tea leaves correctly, all states have started to notice, and so the move to charge for travel on the highways, rather than the arbitrary gasoline tax. Going to be a tough sell I think, but then I've been surprised many times of late.
Public policy lesson 101:
Most highway construction and maintenance funding comes from "liquid fuels taxes".
If vehicles consume less liquid fuels there is less revenue, but their useage/damage does not decrease.
The money must be made up some way, some how.
Driving a big azz vehicle, I don't want to "subsidize" the Prius fleet. Note that most Priuses sport Ø bumper stickers—so they are "takers" very content with that status quo.
When mileage based road taxes were first proposed in my state I protested to my assemblyman that many of my neighbors live back 1/4 to 1/2 mile or longer private lanes; therefore much of their annual mileage is on their own private property.
He responeded—correctly—that with liquid fuels taxation they are being taxed on fuel that will never benefit them directly. Same difference.
Fuel-efficient cars are designed to save people money on gas, but those who drive them could soon start paying a mileage tax. The government has been collecting taxes at the pump to pay for building and fixing roads for years, but drivers of electric cars avoid the gas tax because they don't fuel up. State legislators are looking at adding a tax for cars that get at least 55 miles per gallon, with the money going toward state roads.So, Oregon, huh? I don't suppose anyone at this "news" source knows the party affiliation of this great idea?!?
Any scheme that involves GPS trackers to record mileage will not be reliable but will destroy privacy of travel.
They'll tax you for breathing second/third/fourth hand smoke.
Then they'll charge an import tax because sensors near your home measured pollutants that originated in factories in China.
i know they use more, on a cloudy day in particular they probably use 90 or 95% net power from the grid. But if they are truly paying zero for their electric bill as you say, then they are getting 90% free power on those cloudy days. That is beyond ridiculous, it is criminal, mostly because I know the company that leases the systems is cleaning up on subsidies and profit.
This looks like one of those rare liberals screwing liberals occasions where its just fun to watch.
Just wait until they use the tracking devices to issue you end of the year speeding tickets.
My neighbor says he uses more power NET than he generates but BGE pays him $3K a year just for having solar panels.
Criminal??? Martin O Malley.
Wow... you are in favor of a tax where your every move is taxed? Talk about big brother interfering in your life. You must be kidding?
Pay by the mile is a reality on "express" toll lanes on several Atlanta interstates. They are using transponders right now, and compliance doesn't seem to be an issue. Billing is automatic to your credit card.
The statewide thing will be a combo GPS and transponder system that periodically reports miles driven since the last data collection point.
I am not in this field, but am good friends with someone who is.
Sucks doesn't it, bastards try that crap in Texas will have to have a team of state workers (convicts) walking the ditches looking for electronic tracking devices. In west Texas they will have to fund state workers (convicts) to scrape horse crap off the roads. We really don't take well to Feds and their rules.
"or the water from your own well"
I live in Washington state. There is presently an effort to install meters on our privately owned water wells.... and charge me for my own water.
I paid to put the well in. I have lived at this property for 30 years and now these communists want to charge me for my own damn water.
It's never going to stop....
And will they pay to replace it if it goes dry?
I posted the same comment on another thread about a minute ago. The ONLY thing that is under our complete control is how much of our money we give to grow the beast. Everything else requires others to agree, allow, participate, lead, etc. There are many ways to legally reduce how much goes to these crooks.
--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
I live in cal where the state legislature is only being outdone by the Feds.
We pay no income tax with our deductions.
However this year "we" voted for numerous tax increases. Trying to get those down. Unfortunately most in cal don't share your thinking.
I don't have a problem with this at all, on ALL vehicles including government vehicles, so long as it is absolutely impossible to acquire time/location information from those boxes. The gas taxes were supposed to cover road building, repair, and so on, and alternative fuel vehicles are getting a free ride. So, require the boxes, and eliminate the gasoline taxes.
We all know what the three biggest lies are. But...there is a fourth...a government "temporary tax" or "adjustment".
Ask anyone from the Chicago area about the toll roads in the Chicago area, that were going to be "paid off" many years ago...now, they will be paid off just a few days short of the maximum entropy of the Universe.
This starts like all the other new taxes by taxing a small constituentcy and then balloons to ensnare the rest of the public in something that will give the government power to monitor your movements and further, will hit people entrepreneurs who make their livings in cars or trucks with a huge economic bite!!!
This will kill a whole bunch of GANG-GREEN birds with just one gall stone!!!
It's also a continuation of the wretched "War on the West" since we don't wish to crowd into urban compaction with miserable mass transit, walking commutes in deep blue cities and as they put it... "getting America back on it's feet!"
CA is already trying to make it a reality because they are in a free-fall brought on by MonuMental GovernMental EnvironMental squandering of money!!!
Yes, they've been angling at metering and taxing our private wells here in CA, as well. They've grown fiendish, I tell ya!!!
A mileage tax is a tax levied for road usage. It would be the closest thing we have to a tax that actually charges users for the wear-and-tear on roads they are directly responsible for. The major problem with this kind of scheme is administrative expenses. Which is why an unfair flat tax regardless of mileage on electric vehicles is likely to be the "solution".
I don't think they are in any way serious about "Global Warming". The carbon tax is simply another excuse to tax, and now the per mile tax is to grab those who evade that tax.
Actually we already are taxed on our use of the roads via gasoline taxes... which are pretty much exorbitant and never are used to repair roads. Mileage taxes begin to invade privacy by collecting individual data... erodes liberty. Not a conservative solution at all. Again.. Wow... I hope you are kidding.
Yes!!! a billion dollar tax on those who sponsor more taxes or life in jail for thier familes
would you tax the electric vehicles at the charging station, like at the gas pump?

July 2010 E-News Brief
THREATENED: George Washington Carver High School
Photo: Francine Stock
The monumental structure utilized parabolic concrete hinged arches that extend beyond the building and rest on hinged concrete buttresses, creating a modern stoa that shelters one from rain and sun. The Federal Emergency Management Agency assessed the building's innovative auditorium as eligible for the National Register, thereby triggering the National Historic Preservation Act's Section 106 Process.
DOCOMOMO US/Louisiana, in an effort to save the building, agreed to participate as a Consulting Party in the Section 106 Process. DOCOMOMO US/Louisiana advocates for the adaptive reuse of George Washington Carver's auditorium space: allow its inspiring vaultedspace to continue its function as a gathering space for new generations of Ninth Ward students. The Recovery School District intends to clear the entire campus and build new on the site. Demolition is imminent.

THREATENED: The Given Institute
The Given Institute in Aspen, CO designed by Harry Weese and built in 1971 is scheduled to be demolished within the year. The current owner, the University of Colorado School of Medicine, has planned to sell the building this fall siting a hardship in operating costs of some $200,000 a year. In a move to save the building, the Aspen Historic Preservation Commission is in the process of nominating the Given Institute to the National Register of Historic Places. Currently, there is no consensus on preserving the structure.
SAVED: Minoru Yamasaki's Architectural Records

The Michigan State Historic Preservation Office along with the Michigan State Archivist took on a last minute effort to save the papers of Minoru Yamasaki's after being notified the archive was to be destroyed the following morning. Ted Ayoub, the last Yamasaki employee, alerted the Society of Architectural Historians of the impending destruction of the papers, which in turn alerted the Michigan state offices. The archive includes slides, photographs, drawings, and Minoru Yamasaki's personal library.

Polynesian Blue Boosts Tourism And Records A NZD$1.19 Million Maiden Profit12/09/2006
Polynesian Blue, the joint venture airline of the Government of Samoa and Virgin Blue Airlines, has announced a pre-tax profit of NZD $1.19 million (approximately 2.22 million Tala#) for the period 30 October 2005 to June 2006.
The immediate success of Polynesian Blue has almost certainly contributed to the 18% increase in Samoan tourism earnings, equal to 22.9 million Tala, achieved over the period November 2005 to June 2006^. Polynesian Blue was launched in October 2005 at the initiative of the Government of Samoa which sought a private sector partner in a new international airline for Samoa. The Government of Samoa had previously injected close to $200 million Tala into Polynesian Airlines over a ten year period.
Commenting on the result, The Hon Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, Prime Minister of Samoa, said, "Virgin Blue's commitment to this partnership has been much appreciated and the joint venture model is a shining 'pacific' star, not just for Samoa itself but for Samoan's throughout the region."
He continued, "The profitability of Polynesian Blue is a clear indication the joint venture model is successful in the market and we are confident this trend will continue. This is the first time in a decade that the Government has been in a position to progressively re-direct critical funds to health, education and other essential services rather than prop up Polynesian Airlines with taxpayer money. We are delighted that our decision to work with Virgin Blue has had such a positive impact on Samoa through increased tourism and economic benefits."
Polynesian Blue has played a major role in stimulating travel to and from Samoa according to the latest statistics which show strong growth, particularly to and from Australia. Total visitor arrivals for the period November 2005 to June 2006 increased by 18.4%, compared to an average annual growth over the previous ten years of just 3.9%.*
Market Growth Statistics – Period November 2005 – June 2006*
Ex NZ to Samoa +23% (holiday arrivals +37%)
Ex Aust to Samoa +38% (holiday arrivals +101%)

Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, "The bold vision of the Prime Minister and the Samoan Government should be applauded for locking in essential air services while at the same time, mitigating the ongoing exposure associated with a national liability. We are both proud and humble in our association with the people of Samoa and its successful airline."
"This is a tremendous result for an operation that is less than 12 months old and demonstrates the economic, tourism and social benefits that can be generated by dynamic partnerships."
Polynesian Blue's strategy to offer affordable fares, combined with convenient non-stop services from both Australia and New Zealand to Samoa has been strongly supported by the travelling public. The airline now offers three direct flights weekly from Sydney and four direct services weekly from Auckland. The airline will increase capacity to offer five direct flights a week between Apia and Auckland from 4 November, 2006. The former Polynesian Airlines operated flights to and from Samoa mainly via Tonga and Niue.
Following the success of the Polynesian Blue model, Virgin Blue is considering other opportunities for joint ventures in the South Pacific region.

A Man on the Street: A Slide Show of Martin Luther King Jr.
In America's poorest ghettos, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s portrait is one of the most popular subjects of public art. These images, which I have been documenting since 1977, regularly appear on the walls of the liquor stores, auto-repair shops, fast-food restaurants, mom-and-pop stores and public housing projects of Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York and many other cities across the country. The majority are the work of amateur artists. Though Dr. King is usually front and center, he is often accompanied by other inspirational figures: Nelson Mandela, John Paul II, Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, Mother Teresa, Pancho Villa. He is often accompanied by his famous phrase, "I have a dream" – a reminder that in many of the communities where these murals exist, the gulf between hope and reality remains far too wide. -- Camilo José Vergara

So I know everyone is saying Road isnt dead (and I hope you're all right T^T) something is different this time she disappeared than the others... Tyki said Apocryphos injured deep enough to even injure the memory of Noah. If this is held as fact then the Noah of Dreams might be dead even...
About the "meeting with Kanda thing" I dont know about that. "?" on the door simply means its not being set up as a specific sustained path from one place to another so hes just going soul searching on his own.
So lets look at the facts before my prediction:
Lenalee is back with everyone at HQ
Lavi is held by the Noah right now with Bookman
Kanda is being his lone swordsman self in Mater
Allen is now gone to soul search and lets face it hes gonna get stronger by figuring himself out.
Once Apocryphos goes away, maybe back into the shadows or what ever...
I smell a timeskip~
this is totally random but i was just noticing how incredibly different rhode looks now...so i did this little make-over bit....

SHAUN STANLEY/Durango Herald
DENVER – The most controversial of Colorado Democrats' gun bills – a ban on larger ammunition magazines – is on its way to Gov. John Hickenlooper for final approval.
After voting for it, Rep. Mike McLachlan, D-Durango, came out swinging against a recall campaign that has targeted him.
At the same time, local gun supporters called the bill pointless, unenforceable and an affront to Second Amendment rights.
"It's feel-good legislation, and all it's doing is restricting more and more people's rights," said La Plata County Sheriff Duke Schirard. "It's not going to accomplish anything."
House Bill 1224 passed its final vote in the Legislature on Wednesday afternoon on a 34-30 margin, with three Democrats and all Republicans opposed. It bans the sale of ammunition magazines of more than 15 rounds.
Democrats said most of the mass shootings in the country since the 1980s have involved large-capacity magazines.
"I am sick and tired of the bloodshed. Whatever we can do to curb gun violence in our community, we have a responsibility to do that," said the sponsor, Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora.
But Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, said the Legislature doesn't have the right to question gun owners about why they want larger magazines.
"It is my right to have that standard firearm that is in common use, and you don't have the right to take it from me," McNulty said.
The bill would ban the sale of larger magazines after July 1, but owners could keep their current ones.
Fields originally wanted the limit set at 10 bullets, but McLachlan successfully amended it in February to raise the limit to 15. He later said he wanted to see a 30-round limit.
McLachlan voted again Wednesday for the 15-round limit and told the Herald he decided to support the bill after no Republicans stepped forward to help him raise the limit to 30.
He asked gun lobbyists to get Senate Republicans to try to raise the limit, but they were more interested in killing the bill than improving it, he said.
"The reason we've ended up where we are today is, in part, their fault because they never tried to put a 30-round limit forward," McLachlan said.
The popular AR-15 assault rifle often is sold with a 30-round ammunition magazine.
Opponents have targeted McLachlan with a recall petition because of his votes on the gun bills. They have until about May 5 to collect more than 10,500 signatures from registered voters in McLachlan's district.
McLachlan said he has received threatening and disparaging emails against his family.
"I'm not going to let them bully me. I'm not going to let them hold out a recall as a way to make me abandon the principles that I stand for and the reasons people elected me," he said.
Schirard called the legislation one of the "most asinine things I've ever heard."
A 15-round limit is an "arbitrary" figure, he said. There are millions of 20- and 30-round magazines that will be swapped between states, making the law "totally unenforceable," he said.
Chris Burnett, manager at Rocky Mountain Pawn & Gun in Durango, said he has been flooded with questions from customers wanting to know if they're allowed to possess high-capacity magazines and whether they can purchase them in New Mexico and bring them to Colorado.
"They want to be sure that they're not possessing something that is illegal to have in the state of Colorado," he said. "There's just a lot of questions and uncertainty about exactly what they're going to be able to do or not do with what they have."
The legislation has been good for business, he said.
"I have sold thousands and thousands of 30-round magazines in the last three months," he said. "Everybody who wants them has got them."
Democrats had hoped to send a second bill to Hickenlooper's desk Wednesday, which would require background checks for private-party gun sales. But Republicans pointed out problems with guns owned by family-owned companies, so the bill is going to a conference committee and could pass as soon as Friday.
Schirard said he has fewer issues with legislation to require background checks for private-party gun sales, as long as it excludes background checks for leaving guns to heirs.
Background checks should take into account a person's mental health, he said.
"All of these mass shootings have been done by people with mental problems," Schirard said.
But both bills are toothless and accomplish little, he said.
"All a person has to do is drive 20 miles south into New Mexico and you can do any of those things with impunity," he said.

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
You don't have to convince a kid to eat a piece of candy. But to help grown-ups justify indulging in a chocolate bar or a handful of jellybeans, candy companies are touting new health benefits of their products. Though health benefits are not the direct reason for consumers to grab up the sweet stuff, it is an added incentive.
At Choclatique, we know that consumers buy candy primarily for the taste, but it does factor in that consumers are more focused on their diets these days and are trying to eat more healthfully. We think it's more than just an added benefit.
One of the best-known healthful treats is dark chocolate. Dark chocolate makers were among the first to educate consumers on the 'better for you' positioning, especially promoting the antioxidant content. But more recently, candy companies offering assorted fruit flavors have been getting in on the health trend as well.
We've known for a long time that consumers read labels and look for confections with no preservatives, artificial colors or flavors which are the basis for Choclatique products. They're also interested in candy made without high-fructose corn syrup—using pure cane sugar instead. Now, we are finding many snack and candy companies are promoting products with additional antioxidants. Pomegranate and other fruits big on health benefits have become a popular addition to many candies. Some of the newest flavors of licorice include blueberry and pomegranate made from real juice. Chocolate manufacturers, while still marketing their dark chocolate for its health benefits, have also moved on to chocolate low in sugar or completely sugar-free and the blending of fruits high in antioxidants such as strawberry, orange, blueberry, cherry and pomegranate.
At Choclatique, we make the Pure Power energy bar. Made with US-grown peanuts, peanut flour, cherries and blueberries, this healthy snack packs over 9 grams of pure protein and is high in antioxidants. Footed with a low sugar chocolate platform, all of the ingredients are commonly found in your own pantry. One great additional benefit is that Pure Power is also Gluten-free.
For some, price is a strong factor with consumers willing to choose a cheaper, less healthy product rather than pay a little more for something more healthful. But now, some health concerns are carrying over to the general public and consumers starting to understand that a piece of chocolate can be more than just a satiating snack. Market research shows that while healthier candies were once only reaching a niche audience… that audience is growing. There are groups, such as baby boomers and young families that are more inclined to look for health benefits than just price alone.
At Choclatique, we feature Elephant Chocolate, Q-91 and Private Reserve Dark that are lower in sugar and higher in many of the healthful benefits than milk or white chocolate. We offer the appeal and benefits to a more health conscious consumer with functional chocolates while still maintaining tasteful indulgence.
If you have a passion or even an addiction to the brown stuff, let's talk… you can look me up on Facebook and follow me on Twitter.
Another Shameless Plug: I want to introduce you to my new book, Choclatique. It's the perfect gift for brides, grooms, grandchildren's birthday, anniversaries… actually Choclatique, both the book and the chocolate, are perfect for just about any occasion. Signed copies will be available after October 1st.
Choclatique is the first interactive cookbook. It is sprinkled with ChefSecrets which are highlighted with a QR Code. When you scan the QR Code with your smartphone, it directs you to a video where I demonstrate the "secret" technique. You can also purchase a chocolate tasting kit to compliment the book. Pretty cool!

The Angels have held Spring Training in Tempe, AZ since 1993 and play their spring home games at Tempe Diablo Stadium.
The Angels initially signed a 25-year lease (including two five-year options) with the city of Tempe on July 25, 1991, making Tempe Diablo Stadium their spring training facility until 2017. Then on Nov. 8, 2004, the Angels and the city agreed to an extended lease through the year 2025. As part of the new lease agreement, the Tempe Diablo Stadium complex was expanded and renovated to include the club's Minor League spring operations, a project that was completed in time for the 2006 spring training season.
Tempe Diablo Stadium, which is owned and operated by the City of Tempe Parks and Recreation Department, previously housed the Seattle Pilots, Milwaukee Brewers (1969-71) and Seattle Mariners (1977-92).
The new Tempe Diablo Stadium complex includes six-and-a-half practice fields in addition to the main stadium, which was dedicated as Gene Autry Field in 1999 in honor of the former Angels' owner who passed away after the 1998 season.
Dimensions of the stadium are 340' down the left field line; 360' down the right field line; 400' to the left and right-center power alleys and 420' to center with an outfield fence height of eight feet. The playing surface is Bermuda natural grass.
Seating capacity for each game at Tempe Diablo Stadium is 9,315 (including seating for the disabled, lawn seats, suites and temporary bleachers).
Parking for the stadium features two parking lots (east and west) with 1,350 paved parking spaces, including two disabled entryways as well as field and service access.

Beautiful but painful
"These shoes are so beautiful, love the way they look, however they are very high and narrow, I have high arches and could barely get them zipped. Once they were on they pinched and were very uncomfortable. I returned them."

cant go wrong with this price
"This shootie is super cute. The pitch of the shoe is slightly offthe wedge in the front should have been a little higher but nothing an insert wouldn't fix. These are adorable though, can be dressed up or casual . The toe is pointier then I thought , which is fine asthis toe shape is back in style again. I love the metal detail on the toe. This should keep your shoe looking nicer longer and it also catches the eye . Definitely spray these with a water repellant to keep them looking like new . All in all, I love this shoe and would recommend them especially with this price point ."

The BLM Library collects a variety of government publications, primarily those of the BLM but also some documents from the Department of the Interior and other federal government entities. For publications available digitally, we have organized the links by the publishing entity. Please use the links at right to locate publications or search our online catalog. For assistance, contact the BLM Library at firstname.lastname@example.com.
About Our Digitized Collection
The BLM Library is digitizing all of its publications and collections in the public domain, including BLM, General Land Office, Grazing Service, and some DOI publications. The digitization process involves cataloging, scanning, and archiving historical information so it will be preserved and accessible online, worldwide. More than 5,000 publications are now available in 18 different file formats, including PDF, HTML, text, DAISY, Kindle, and ePUB. The digitization of BLM Library publications demonstrates the library's commitment to meet users' demands for a virtual information center and to stay current with available technologies. The BLM Library's digitized materials are available online and easily found with search engines. Users are able to view maps and other special pages within the publications at a high resolution.
Click to open the BLM Library's digitized collection in a new window.
The second phase of the digitization process involves state and field office documents. The BLM Library has requested that all BLM offices send their publications to be added to the digital collection. Some examples of publications requested include field office technical reports, NEPA and planning documents, contract reports from companies who have done work for the BLM, and documents or reports that haven't been published for distribution. Once digitized, these documents will become part of the digitized collection online and authors will receive visibility for their work. This will also promote a bureauwide awareness of work that has been done and help prevent duplication of material and/or research. BLM employees can learn more by reading IM OC-2013-036 and contacting the BLM Library with questions. Although the IM lists a due date of April 2013, offices are still invited to participate.

Death, Physical
See also Fall of Adam and Eve; Mortal, Mortality; Resurrection; Salvation
The separation of the body and the spirit. The Fall brought mortality and death to the earth (2 Ne. 2:22; Moses 6:48). The atonement of Jesus Christ conquered death so that everyone will be resurrected (1 Cor. 15:21–23). Resurrection is a free gift to all people regardless of whether they have done good or evil in this life (Alma 11:42–44). Each person suffers only one physical death since once we are resurrected, our bodies can die no more (Alma 11:45).
- All flesh shall perish, and man shall turn again unto dust:Job 34:15;
- Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints:Ps. 116:15;
- The dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God:Eccl. 12:7;
- By man came death:1 Cor. 15:21;
- The Savior holds the keys of hell and of death:Rev. 1:18;
- There shall be no more death, neither sorrow:Rev. 21:4;
- Death hath passed upon all men:2 Ne. 9:6, 11; ( Alma 12:24; )
- They never did look upon death with terror:Alma 27:28;
- Alma explained the state of the soul between death and the resurrection:Alma 40:11;
- Those who die in me shall not taste of death:D&C 42:46;
- Those who are not appointed unto death shall be healed:D&C 42:48;

Thankful Thursday: Friends On Facebook Are Extremely Helpful
That's right folks. I connected with my great grandfather's next door neighbor. She's a lovely lady who I spoke with on Wednesday for nearly an hour. She was a child when she knew my great grandfather John Harrison and she told me that he always carried himself as a gentleman. He could cook quite well, which I bet was born out of necessity since his wife passed away in 1939. At that time he still had young children in the home that had to be raised. Another thing that I found out was that she knew my grandfather's younger brother, Robert "Bobby" Harrison. Bobby is the youngest of the Harrison siblings. I haven't had a chance to speak with him yet since I connected with his former neighbor. I am looking forward to catching up with him over the weekend.
From prior research, I knew that John Harrison in his youth was a porter for Bradham Drug Co. in New Bern, NC. Here he is listed in a 1916-1917 City Directory

Williams Restaurant used to be Bradham's Broad Street location.
When my mom speaks of her grandfather she refers to him as granddaddy John. She remembers how impeccably dressed he was and that is something my great grandfather's neighbor also made mention of on the phone. After Bradham's, my great grandfather worked as a tailor for Hill's Tailoring Company in New Bern. His neighbor also spoke of how "Mr. Harrison rode his bike to work everyday." I love the mental image of a man in a three piece suit on a bike, don't you?

Amongst the long list of successful design-based denim collections to come out of Australia is Maise Denim. Brainchild of ex Top Shop Designer Claire Greaves, the brand radiates an effortlessly sexy sensibility that any woman would want to exude. This certainly separates it from from the multitude of denim brands out there, which often either border along safe and boring or are way too over the top. Maise Denim has the perfect mix of intrigue and simplicity.
Though the brand has recieved international recognition and has caught the eye of many editors, including those of In-Style Magazine and Women's Wear Daily in which it has been featured, the brand hasn't been able to gain a large following outside of it's native Australia.
But what exactly sets Maise Denim apart from all the other brands in the highly saturated denim market? Well if the aesthetic isn't enough for you then perhaps the comfortable cuts and quirky details that make each pair individual will suffice. In addition it's a complete collection of denim pieces. I mean we all love jeans, but how amazing is it to have options on how to wear our denim? Either way here's to hoping for a U.S. debut!
And just to tease you here are some more images from the Spring Summer 2010/2011 collection.

In a continual effort to provide the safest roadways, the
Nevada Department of Transportation and certain local Nevada governments are
installing flashing yellow turn arrows at select signalized intersections.
Numerous turn signals are being updated to include flashing yellow arrow
signals to create a safer, more efficient left-hand turn. When on, this flashing
yellow arrow means a vehicle is allowed to cautiously enter an intersection only
to make the turn indicated by the arrow, but the driver must first yield to
oncoming traffic and pedestrians, then proceed with caution.After it
flashes, the flashing yellow arrow then becomes a steady (non-flashing) yellow
arrow or green arrow. Drivers should treat the steady yellow arrow just like a
standard yellow light- prepare to stop or safely clear the intersection before
the red light appears.The new flashing yellow arrow provides a more
direct message than the traditional circular green indication for turns. It
reduces confusion because the turn lane display is no longer the same indication
as the adjacent through lanes.

The world will gather in Cancun, Mexico, for two weeks starting on the 29th of November to try to hammer out a new climate change treaty. After what many people see as last year's failure to achieve a treaty despite two years of intense preparatory work and negotiations that seemed never to end, there is a sense that not much will happen in Cancun.
Last year's negotiations produced the Copenhagen Accord, a non-binding agreement where the parties actually agreed to a lot, according to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon:
"For the first time ever, developed and developing countries acknowledged their responsibility to curb emissions of greenhouse gases... and agreed on the goal of limiting global temperature rise to well below 2° C. For the first time ever, countries made large pledges to finance mitigation and adaptation efforts.... For people on the front-lines of climate change, these were important steps".
Ban remains optimistic, but he says progress requires patience:
There is a lesson here. Let us not dream of big overnight breakthroughs. Let us not think, in the absence of immediate progress, that we are failing. Let us not misunderstand what it takes to bring about change in the world today.
But how much progress is enough? Many commentators are saying that the UNFCCC needs to show real progress or the world will lose faith that the process will be able to deliver anything. "The stakes are quite high for the U.N. in Cancun," said Jennifer Morgan, director of the climate and energy programme at the World Resources Institute in Washington.
The focus will be on financing adaptation, protecting forests and other measures where negotiators think agreement is possible. The hard issues – long-term greenhouse gas reduction commitments, etc. – will be dealt with later.
But many participants in the Many Strong Voices Programme who live in the Arctic and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) feel that time is not on their side. Having been identified by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as two of the world's regions most vulnerable to rapid climate change, they want to see real progress that would deal with the rapid melting of multi-year sea ice and effects such as sea level rise, storm surges, salt water intrusion into fresh water supplies, etc.
MSV participants will be in Cancun. Among other things, MSV will hold a side event on Wednesday 1 December that links climate change, human rights and food security. Portraits of Resilience will exhibit new photos and stories from Fiji, Tuvalu and Seychelles. MSV will be working with partners to spread the word on what is happening in these two regions, push for action on reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and accelerating financial support for those faced with immediate adaptation needs – whether they be in the Arctic, SIDS or low-lying regions elsewhere.
Over the next two weeks we will continually update what is happening at Cancun and talk about what it means for the Arctic and SIDS through regular Blog and Twitter updates and postings of relevant and interesting material. There will be opportunities for others to post their ideas and react to what is happening in Mexico.

Keyano Aromatics Aromatherapy Massage Oil Try Me Set
Differentiate your massage from the competition. Allow clients to select the Keyano Aromatherapy Massage Oil they would like used during their treatment and send them home with the remaining oil. The Trial Kit features a set of (5) 2 oz massage oils.
Great size and value if you want to try an aromatherapy massage oil before investing in a larger bottle.
The oil is a good quality and long last, but the scent is to soft and it doesn't work as aromatherapy. I bougth this produt before and I was happy with it, not this time.
This is a really nice sample set I use to let clients pick their scent. The oil is great quality and lasts a long time. :)

Not so great
"A very comfortable shoe, I like the gel insole. The problem is how the tow of the shoe is sewn together. The edge of the leather is exposed, it gets pulled out making the show look like it is coming apart. They look worn within a couple of weeks."

Calendar Of Events
Written by Miami Today on April 21, 2011
Thursday 4/14
As Nazi reign overtook 1930s Germany, the livelihoods of many Jewish citizens were stripped away. Dr. Max Stern suffered such a fate when his license to trade art at his gallery was taken away because he was Jewish, and he was forced to auction his artworks at extremely devalued rates. After his death in 1987, a project began to collect those works auctioned off. "Auktion 392: Reclaiming the Galerie Stern, Dusseldorf" examines his story and the restitution of art looted by the Nazis, some of which is on display. Ends April 25. Jewish Museum of Florida, 301 Washington Ave., Miami Beach. Details: (305) 672-5044 or www.jewishmuseum.com.

All will be displayed throughout the garden's 83 acres by Central Park's Frederick Law Olmsted group. Ends May 31. Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, 10901 Old Cutler Road, Coral Gables. $12-$25.

Instruction Memorandum No. 2006-236
Expires: 09/30/2007
To: All Field Officials
From: Assistant Director, Minerals, Realty & Resource Protection
Subject: Announcement of the Bureau of Land Management 2007 Reclamation and Sustainable Mineral Development Awards Program – Nominations Due DD: 03/20/2007
Program Areas: Locatable Minerals (3800), Mineral Materials (3600), and Solid Leasable Minerals (3500).
Purpose: In April 2003, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) launched a new awards program to recognize mine operators who have made exemplary contributions to solid minerals (non-coal) development. This Instruction Memorandum (IM) is to provide information relating to the 2007 awards program, including the deadline for submission of nominations as well as other deadlines. The four award categories are: The Hardrock Mineral Environmental Award, The Hardrock Mineral Community Outreach and Economic Security Award, The Hardrock Mineral Small Operator Award, and The Hardrock Mineral Director's Award. The purpose of all four categories of awards is to recognize work in any of the three components of sustainable development: environmental health, social responsibility, and economic security.
Policy/Action: The Department of the Interior (DOI) created the Reclamation and Sustainable Mineral Development Awards Program to showcase some of the finest examples of responsible mineral resource development. The award winners will illustrate our understanding of sustainable development—development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
The BLM State Offices are requested to assist the Washington Office in publicizing this award program and in receiving and processing the nominations. Attachment 1 is a detailed description of the BLM's 2007 award program that may be distributed to the public. It includes information on the nomination and selection processes, including specific criteria for the fourcategories of awards, as well as information regarding the format for nominations, required number of copies, etc. Please ensure that this attachment is posted in the public room. It should be noted that operations are not limited to public lands administered by the BLM. The awards program is open to all solid mineral (non-coal) operations nationally, without regard to land ownership. In furtherance of the BLM/U.S. Forest Service "Service First" initiative, operators conducting activities on Forest Service lands are encouraged to apply. As stated in the attachment, the deadline for submission of nominations to the BLM State Offices is March 20, 2007. By October 30, 2006, please email to Mary Linda Ponticelli at firstname.lastname@example.com the name of the BLM State Office contact for the awards program.
State Offices are to receive and initially process nominations, including verifying the information that is submitted with a nomination and determining if the nominee is in compliance with all applicable regulations. The compliance verification process for a mining operation should include a site visit by the BLM personnel. When a nominee is not regulated by the BLM, the State Office will need to obtain written confirmation from the regulator that the nominee is in compliance. After preparing a Statement of Findings for each nomination, State Offices are requested to forward all nominations and an accompanying Statement of Findings to the Washington Office, Division of Solid Minerals (WO-320) by April 20, 2007. The documents should be sent by Federal Express to:
U.S. Department of the Interior
Bureau of Land Management (WO-320)
Mail Stop 501 LS, 1620 L Street, N.W.
Attention: Mary Linda Ponticelli
Washington, D.C. 20036
Timeframe: The following is a summary of the pertinent deadlines related to the guidance set forth in this IM, which is effective immediately:
October 30, 2006 - Name of State Office coordinator to be submitted to WO-320
March 20, 2007 - Deadline for award nominations to be filed with State Offices
April 20, 2007 - Deadline for State Office nominations and accompanying Statement of Findings to WO-320
Budget Impacts: The anticipated budget impact of this award program to the field is minimal.
Background: The DOI through the Office of Surface Mining, Reclamation and Enforcement, has presented reclamation awards to coal operators for the past eighteen years.
In 2002, the Department requested that the BLM institute its own awards program and that the program be open to solid mineral (non-coal) operations nationally without regard to land ownership. The 2007 awards program will mark the fifth year for the BLM's awards program.
Manual/Handbook Sections Effected: No manual or handbook sections are affected.
Coordination: Coordination activities for this award program are ongoing. The BLM Washington Office is working closely with the National Mining Association to publicize and coordinate the awards program. Organizations with an interest in solid minerals management will also be notified of the BLM's 2007 award program and invited to submit nominations.
Contact: Please address any questions related to this Instruction Memorandum to Mary Linda Ponticelli, Division of Solid Minerals (WO-320) at
(202) 452-5083.

Chloe plus Olivia: an anthology of lesbian literature from the seventeenth century to the present
