I've long been intrigued by Bioluminescence, a natural source of light created by a living organisms. Fire flies are probably the most well known example, but there are many others.
CORE Glow is effectively a pebble/gravel that glows in the dark after it has been exposed to natural or artificial light. They come in a few different sizes, as well as formats, and are said to glow when the sun goes down and stay illuminated, albeit gradually dissipating in energy, until dawn. Moreover, their shelf life is good for up to 20 years.
I'd be reluctant to scatter them around my home's outdoor areas for fear if I ever moved and wanted to sell my house (if I owned a house), or just simply got sick of them. However, you could drive neighbors nuts by tossing them over the proverbial fence, though I'm not sure the cost (unknown) would be worth it, unless of course you really hate (or love) them.
That all said, you could use the CORE Grow pebbles to light up a path way when light isn't available, or add an accent to your swimming pool.
Update: a 1lb of Core Glow stones starts at $20 and they come in a variety of colors

Ralphie dont leave me!!! Come back!!!
Hopefully our VIP's and other loyal customers have all read the other post about pming the reps for some AMA news. Some of you are beginning to find out the next step for AMA and in preparation towards that the site will be coming offline in the near future. There will be NO MORE SITE SALES after this Sun at midnight.
That's all far now. You do not talk about fight club.
Previously known as PITCREW but you can call me DADDY
Lift, Eat, Shower, Fuck, and Don't take shit
Ralphie dont leave me!!! Come back!!!
So, if I order this weekend for the first time am I good for the future?
oh man i just got told about you guys. i have ordered once and was hoping i can continue to do so in the future!
So are only vip members going to be able to order from AMA going forward?

I hope to be on that list cause i love AMA !
Guess I have to find a new place to order. I was expecting the 2 week restock like was posted before and I would be good to order. That bites, I was looking forward to a supplier that delivered results on their product, not like some of the other ones. Ugh.
Good thing I am a vip because I love and only trust in ama and the sherk
^^This as well. This is the smoothest gear I've used and Sherk is the man. The brother is always willing to help guide you on your next cycle just tell him your goals and your gtg just like AMA.
Sherk, I sent you a pm, hope I'm not too late!
EVERYONE IS TOO LATE EXCEPT THE VIPS! I am not giving out any information, excepting any new VIPs for any reason or allowing people to be able to order. Frankly, I'm not 100% sure on how this is even going to work until it is explained to me. I have no idea if this is meaning AMA is now private and invite only or if it is simply changing the ordering process to get away from the web site. So people, calm down!! It's not my decision or authority to say whether or not you can order and I am not going to beg for anyone. When the time comes and IF, let me repeat that, IF AMA is going private then all I can do is make my best judgment from who you are on the boards and see if you qualify. Not by telling me the exact amount of orders, types of cycles you've run from them or any other story you want to come up with. I don't want to read your mile long pm telling me how much you love AMA. That means nothing to me in the ways of persuasion. So for now, just sit back and wait for the news to be posted and just fallow any directions that might be given.
To the VIPs, if you haven't already pm'd one of us reps, please don't forget too.

About ARCHES and Applying
ARCHES TRiO Support services project is funded by a grant from a U.S. Department of Education TRiO Programs. TRiO programs were established in 1960 to promote educational equity for students who are traditionally underrepresented in higher education; students who are first-generation, low-income, and/or disabled. For more information about TRiO Student Support Services, please click here.
ARCHES, a program under Disability Resource Center (DRC), was established in 1997 to provide academic support services for Cal Poly Pomona's students with Disabilities. ARCHES currently serves 150 students each year and accepts applications from new participants throughout the academic year. Students in the program receive in-depth, comprehensive support services from time of acceptance through graduation.
ARCHES provides academic and personal support services to students to help facilitate graduation. To read more about the services that ARCHES provides, please click here.
Disability Awareness and Advocacy
During advising sessions, the ARCHES staff works closely with students to identify strengths and weaknesses. It is critical that students make the connection between the problem area and the prescribed accommodation in order for them to develop effective compensatory strategies that they will use on a consistent basis.
The ARCHES staff also works with students to teach self-advocacy skills. This includes counseling the student on ways to discuss disability-related issues with family, peers, or instructors.
Ideally the students will develop sufficient self-awareness and confidence that they will be able to advocate for themselves, both in the academic setting and in the workplace.
To participate with ARCHES, students must meet eligibility criteria established by the U.S. Department of Education. Eligible students must be:
Enrolled or accepted for enrollment at Cal Poly Pomona;
Registered with the Disability Resource Center (DRC) office;
A U.S. citizen, national, or permanent resident (students with F-1 Visas are not eligible);
Have a documented permanent disability (i.e. Learning, Psychological, Physical, etc.).

PERRY COUNTY—Bikers from all over the region gathered Tuesday morning in Shermans Dale, Perry County, with a peaceful mission in mind. They wanted to protect the Clouse family from Westboro Baptist Church protesters. The group organized after members of the Topeka, Kansas church threatened to show up at the funeral for the seven Clouse children, killed in a fire last week.
"What reason on this God's earth would you ever want to protest seven innocent little lives, its just appalling," said Bill Raber of Mechanicsburg.
The bikers staged about 11 miles away from the site of the funeral service. They say they wanted to keep a distance to respect the Clouse family's request for privacy, yet be close enough to take action if need be.
"We weren't out to make a commotion, unlike the other people were, we were out to make sure they had silence," said Raber.
Much closer to the Perry Mennonite Reception Center, where the viewing and service were held, more people were ready to block any disruption. Neighbors congregated in front yards, to keep an eye out for problems.
"I just got so sick to my stomach that people can be so ignorant and to want to come and disturb that fact that seven children died," said Patrice Reisser of Perry County.
"It is just important for the community to stick together, we are one community up here, its not just Landisburg, Loysville and the other towns, its Perry County," said Stephen Poticher of Perry County.
Thankfully, the people of Perry County didn't have to take action. Westboro didn't show up, giving family and friends a chance to say goodbye in peace.
"Very thankful, I think somebody upstairs is watching out for them and the community is watching," said Ruth Poticher of Perry County.

Creative Nonfiction is similar to "literary nonfiction." It is NOT standard daily journalistic prose; i.e., it does not follow a formula dictated by space, "fairness" and 8th-grade reading level constraints. Instead, it makes use of the full range of literary techniques and elements employed by writers of other genres, including fiction, poetry, and playwriting. It is not constrained by subject matter or voice or point of view. It consists of many sub-genres, including the classic essay (Montaigne), the personal essay (Lopate), the memoir (Terry Tempest Williams), certain styles of autobiography, biography and criticism (Ozick), some travel and nature writing (McPhee), the literary journal (Sarton) and, of course, works of literary or "new" journalism, for example, the highly stylized nonfiction of Joan Didion, Susan Sontag,
Tom Wolfe and/or Truman Capote. Although CNF implies a contract with the reader as to the veracity of its prose, its attempt to communicate "real life" must always be viewed somewhat skeptically, in the light of authorial subjectivity and selectivity. Truth in its broadest sense (and not factual accuracy in its narrowest) is the goal of CNF.

Good taste and texture. Processing the oatmeal gives them a nice fine texture. I substituted raisins for the dried cherries - had them in the house - and this worked well. I was a bit concerned about no levening agent so I added about a 1/2 teasp of baking power. Dough is crumbly and sticky so pinch into balls and then flatten with fork.
Peanut Butter-Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies were very good. They had a nice texture and although they did taste a little 'healthy' it was by no means a bad thing. I would still consider them kid friendly. I added chocolate chips and used dried cranberries instead of cherries. Next time I would skip chopping the cranberries in the food processor and leave them whole.

President Dmitry Medvedev praised Moscow police for a violent crackdown on shocking downtown rioting near the Kremlin's walls Saturday, even as police sought information on who had led the mob of some 5,500 football fans in shouting racist phrases and attacking North Caucasus natives.
The unsanctioned rally demanding an investigation into the killing of a football fan on Dec. 5 erupted into violence after demonstrators spotted a group of dark-skinned teenagers and tried to beat them, news reports said.
Thirty-two people were wounded, including two seriously, Interfax reported. At least three of those hospitalized were Caucasus natives, all with stab wounds. Eight police officers were also injured.
Police briefly detained 66 people.
The mood in Moscow was tense Sunday as rumors circulated in online football forums that Caucasus natives were planning counterstrike attacks, but police called the rumors a provocation by ultranationalists.
During Saturday's rally, chants of "Russia for Russians" and "[expletive] the Caucasus" reverberated across Manezh Square, proving a major embarrassment for the Kremlin, which prides itself on allowing no unsanctioned public events and is accused by the liberal opposition of secretly sympathizing with nationalists.
The protesters came to the square to protest the death of Yegor Sviridov, 28, a member of a radical Spartak Moscow fan group who was shot dead during an interracial brawl with North Caucasus natives.
A suspect in the murder, Aslan Cherkesov, a native of Kabardino-Balkaria, was detained last week, but his companions were released after questioning, prompting speculation that they had paid off the police.

National Cooperative Bank New York Office Arranges Over $28 Million in New Financing Activity in January
New York, NY (February 24, 2014) – National Cooperative Bank (NCB), a leading lender to cooperative housing throughout the Tri-State area, originated over $28 million in new financing activity during January for 13 New York area properties. Edward Howe III, Managing Director of the NCB New York office, made the announcement.
"The year started off strong, with more New York area cooperatives securing funds to address a variety of financial needs, in this still low interest rate environment," said Mr. Howe. "These Boards and others are proactively refinancing existing debt- even if facing a prepayment penalty- as the cost to refinance now still results in considerable savings for residents."
Financing highlights in January included:
- NCB Senior Vice President Mindy Goldstein arranged more than $12 million in new loans during the month, including a $2.8 million first mortgage and a $500,000 line of credit for The Franklin Owners Corp., a 72-unit co-op located at 142-15 Franklin Avenue in Flushing, NY.
- In January, Mr. Howe arranged more than $11 million in new financing activity, including the largest loan of the month, a $6.5 million first mortgage and a $500,000 line of credit for 159 Madison Owners Corp., a 118-unit co-op located at 159 Madison Avenue in Manhattan.
- NCB Senior Vice President Sheldon Gartenstein originated nearly $5 million during the month, including a $3.4 million first mortgage and a $500,000 line of credit for NB Owners Corp., a 126-unit co-op located at 141-05 Northern Boulevard in Flushing, NY.
As a full-service financial institution, NCB provides term loans, lines of credit, commercial and residential mortgages and personal and business banking products to cooperatives nationwide. NCB offers an array of business banking products for cooperatives including cash management, competitive deposit rates and full service payment processing and lockbox.

FA Cup Final 1933
29 April, 1933
EVERTON 3-0 Manchester City
Wembley Stadium
FA Cup Final
Attendance: 92,950
The 1933 FA Cup final was a momentous one for many reasons. Ted Sagar and Dixie Dean were appearing in what turned out to be their only FA Cup final. It was Everton's first Wembley cup final appearance and the players wore numbers on their shirts for the first time in a competitive match. The numbers were from 1-22, with Everton wearing one to eleven and City wearing 12-22.
With both teams' first choice jerseys being blue, neutral strips had to be worn. City chose Red and Everton chose white. Everton had no proper manager at the time and so the team selection was made in consultation with skipper Dixie Dean. The selection was to prove a slightly controversial one.
Everton's decision to omit Ted Critchley in preference to Albert Geldard on the right wing had caused some consternation amongst the Goodison faithful.
Critchley, who had lost his place seven months earlier, had been brought back in the semi final game against West Ham and had scored the winning goal.
City had their own problems too. Centre forward Freddie Tilson was ruled out and Marshall came in at inside right with Herd moving to centre forward.
It was veteran Jimmy McMullan's last game before his retirement and he was looking to sign off on a high note.
City were fastest off the starting blocks creating a chance within the first minute. Toseland sent over a high, searching far post cross which Sagar did well to hold. Although he was rarely troubled on the day, Sagar's calm assurance when he handled the ball had a positive, inspiring effect on his team-mates.
Everton turned the tables on City and started to get a foothold on the game. With Dean in tremendous form it was only a matter of time before City's defence buckled and it did so with 41 minutes on the clock.
City 'keeper Langford dropped a Britton cross under intense pressure from Dean and winger Stein had the simple task of side-footing the ball home from close range - 1-0 to Everton!
The hapless Langford was guilty of another howler seven minutes into the second period when he failed to hold another Britton cross and Dean powerfully headed home a deserved goal. Ten minutes from time Jimmy Dunn got his name on the scoresheet with the third, getting on the end of Geldard's looping cross. The winger's selection had been vindicated by his valuable contribution.
The referee blew for full time and Everton climbed the steps to the Royal Box. Dean received the trophy and held it aloft to the Blue half of the 92,950 crowd and the party went on into the night both in London and all the way back down to Liverpool.

Aug 23 2012: Start for all purposes by taking note of some of the great work being done by your own and others around the world. Harvard has done studies of healthcare that were utterly trashed by vested interests in the USA. Great work, great truth trashed for profit.
Secondly ask yourself EVERY TIME - who has a bias here? Who profits if it goes this way?.
Read a book called 'Deadly Spin" to get a sense of the traps and tactics against the truth in America.
Repeal the right of corporations to be 'PERSONs' .
These would be a great start to a more level playing field and to the restoration of 'freedom for all"

Retrieving song from ipod to PC
Hi everyone,
My daughters Ipod has all her songs on it but her pc that had them all stored in her Itunes crashed and we have now lost everything on the pc because of a clean install of win 7.
However, all the songs she has purchased and collected over the years are safely stored on her Ipod, is they any way we can save or transfer the songs on her Ipod back into Itunes.
Any help please.
|My System Specs
|03 Feb 2010
Windows 7 Professional x64
Sure, I believe if you hook up the iPod and start iTunes, it will recognize the device, and you can transfer the songs.
I do not use iTunes or own an iPod, but I believe there is a setting that will recognize the iPod as a storage device rather than a mp3 player. Perhaps you can then go into the drive in My Computer and see?
Just be careful not to sync the iPod with iTunes, until you get the songs retrieved. Otherwise they will be gone forever.

I've always burnt the "playlist" to disk then rip it back to the drive as mp3.... or this: How to copy songs from your iPod to your PC - Digital Audio - Lifehacker
|My System Specs
|03 Feb 2010
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
You might want to go to the Apple site and check the help files as i think there is a way to get the music back. I have an ipod but i also store my music in two different places internal hd and external drive just to be safe.
|My System Specs
|03 Feb 2010
go to start-> computer and then the Removable media drive thats your Ipod
What i want you to do id... go to the folder that says IPOD inside the Removable media drive
and then the folders will be like F00, F01 etc..
I need you to select them all and then copy and paste them to your local drive and then open them with Windows Media Player, and then create a playlist and save it
It will definetly save all your songs... But what my recommendation would be, uninstall I-Tunes before performing that ACTION...
|My System Specs
|03 Feb 2010
Windows 7 64 bit SP1
First, are sure they're gone? Did you replace the hard disk? Or did you re-install over the old OS? If you did, then the old OS is backed up to a folder called Windows.old in the root of your C:\ drive and inside will be your old user profiles and their data, including all the music.
If your songs are indeed gone, then you will likely to have use a program that can transfer files from the ipod back to your computer, such as iPodAccess to transfer your iPod files back to the computer.
|My System Specs
|03 Feb 2010
yes he can also do that... but i have already instructed some commands that he can follow up on
|My System Specs
|03 Feb 2010
Heres a REAL simple way.
Download Sharepod. put the .exe on the ipod (through "my computer") open it and copy everything you your pc. its that easy.
If files on your ipod are corrupt by any chance and wont copy. like my brothers ipod, i copied band by band, and found out which songs were causing problems, and skipped them,
problem is it may erase your ipod if you try using itunes.
My way keeps your songs, in their artist folders, with their names.
|My System Specs
|03 Feb 2010

I like iDump, it is a small program that is simple to use. EscSoft
|My System Specs
|03 Feb 2010
is that a player as well? / uploader? it looks like it strictly moves files from ipod to PC not vice versa.... i mean it is what she wants if thats the case. i am just curious if it is the same as sharepod.exe

Made in the USAEvery White's metal detector is made by American workers in Sweet Home, Oregon.
Quality, performance, and customer service: the White's commitment, since 1950.
I bought my husband a White's detector for Christmas last year and found out how fun and easy it is to use. I had to buy myself the MXT. After visiting with family members and finding a copy of an 1875 plat book I located an old home site on the far end of our farm. So far I have found 3 union eagle buttons, a cool padlock, an 1856 large cent, 2 Indian head pennies, 3 shield nickels, a cool pocket knife, and a 50 cal. bullet. The coins showed up as a button on relic mode. They were also in a straight line, I'm thinking it was a clothes line. I LOVE to hunt our cow pasture!!!!!

Hey guys!
It is with a lot of sadness that I'm sharing with you my decision to delete my tumblr (or as I'd like to call it, and indefinite hiatus). I've had the best two years in this crazy tumblr community that seemed to come into my life right when I needed it, but just all good things, this chapter is coming to a close. I've made friends whom I consider to be best friends not only online but in real life, and I don't think I would still be here had it not been from the support that they, along with all of my followers, have given me. As I'm pretty sure is obvious, I love blogging, but there are so many things that I have going on right now, and as much as I'd like it to be, tumblr cannot be my top priority anymore. You've all probably noticed, but I've been gradually going on here less and less, but I've still felt like I've had some sort of burden to this blog, and I really can't have that tie right now.
A lot of you are probably wondering, what brought you to deleting now? Well at the end of this month is my school musical, and rehearsals have been absolutely crazy. I've been spending 12 to 13 hours a day at school, with a pile of homework to do once I get home. Then the next month, I'm going to New York for a week with my choir (which also means missing a week's worth of school) and after that is the inevitable AP testing. Also (and you probably have heard a lot about this if you follow me on twitter) I recently got accepted to a theatre program at Boston University and I really couldn't be more excited about it! However, this means I'm going to be away from home for 6 weeks, and along with the 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. schedule this program will have me on, and additional summer work from my school, I won't really have any time to breathe. Then after that is obviously the inevitable junior year of high school, and, well, I think you all get the point. I'm busy. That being said, it seemed like the perfect time to say goodbye to this part of my life, while I'm introducing so many new parts.
I'm going to leave this blog up for about a week or so, that way everyone can see this post and whatnot. Also, if I decide to come back for whatever crazy reason, my blog will still be here. After that, I'll probably turn this blog into an archive (I don't want to have my blog disappear forever, that would be sad!) or something. Don't worry though, I'm not leaving social media for good! I'll be keeping my twitter which I use waaaay more than I've ever used my tumblr, so if you want to keep up with me, feel free to follow me there! I'm going to keep my ask box open so if you want to shoot me a message (if we're really close you can ask for my facebook or my phone number) within the next few weeks, I'll hopefully be around once or twice to do so.
There isn't enough that I can say to each and every one of you that's been a part of my blog, but I hope that this makes up for just a little of it. I can't even express how much you guys have meant to me over the past few years, and I don't think I'll ever be able to forget it.
I love you all so much, thanks for such a great run.

Welcome to our cross country bike trip!
Riding a bicycle has always been a part of our lives. When we
were kids it was our means of transportation. Our memories are
filled with images of us playing with our friends, running errands
for our parents, and going to school. All these activities were
accomplished on a bicycle. There are also the memories of just
spending time down at the corner talking with friends while sitting on the
trusty bike. Life was good!
We'd love hearing from you and answering your questions, so take a moment and send an email to Our Mailbox.

Editorials from Oregon newspapers
The Oregonian, April 14, on why Nike's presence would have a significant impact in Portland:
It doesn't make much difference to the Oregon economy whether Nike expands in Washington County or in Portland. But it could make a big difference to Portland, boosting the city's tattered reputation as a place to do business, injecting energy into the South Waterfront and generating tax revenues to help fund city services.
So if you are dismayed by the idea that a progressive city would bow before a powerful corporation, take a deep breath. And remember that the incentives reportedly being dangled in front of Nike come from already existing economic development programs that many cities use.
Because of nondisclosure agreements, no one is sharing details of what Portland is willing to offer Nike if it expands on property owned by the Zidell family near other development on the South Waterfront. But The Oregonian's Brad Schmidt reported Thursday that the city has considered offering financial incentives of about $80 million for parking garages, parks and new streets. The incentives would be made possible because the property under consideration is part of the North Macadam urban renewal area.
Multnomah County could further sweeten the pot, Schmidt reported, by creating a Strategic Investment Program that would offer 15-year tax abatements to Nike. The SIP has been the primary economic development tool used by Washington County to encourage technology companies to locate and expand in the Hillsboro area.
In the current budget climate, the possibility of offering $80 million or more in incentives to the state's largest company — especially after the Legislature crafted a tax certainty bill for Nike — instantly produces cries of "corporate welfare." That knee-jerk response misses the point. City and county leaders are considering these incentives not because they benefit Nike (though they do), but because they believe the investment also would pay off for the city. It's a good bet.
Since the Zidell property is part of an urban renewal area, the deal offered to Nike presumably would include tax increment financing. This economic development tool, used by the Portland Development Commission since the 1970s, freezes assessed property values for a designated period. The city then borrows money to pay for improvements such as roads and parks, counting on increased tax revenues — especially after the freeze ends — to pay off the loan.
Of course, the deal comes with risk if the development fails to stimulate enough jobs or increases in property values. And even Nike isn't guaranteed to have continued success. But at a company where "winning takes care of everything," growth usually happens. This is one of the world's leading brands, the dominant company in its industry — not a speculative green-energy startup.
Oregon's troubled school-funding system creates another concern. Urban renewal districts, by redirecting property taxes, also can affect revenues available for school districts. As the city and county work through details of any offer they might make to Nike, they must do it in a way that protects funding for schools and public services.
If the city were considering offering Nike $80 million to expand in Portland, we might join those who are outraged. But that's not what the city apparently is doing. It's considering an investment in the future — one that would pay for infrastructure that benefits not only Nike but also other commercial and residential tenants in the South Waterfront area.
Nike might decide to expand near its Washington County world headquarters regardless of what Portland offers. Each site has advantages and disadvantages. But don't blame Portland for wooing the company. City officials wouldn't be doing their jobs if they didn't assemble an offer that makes sense for both Portland and Nike.
The Register-Guard, April 16, on why Oregon should review the idea of producing canola crops:
Oregon is a world leader in seed production, a high-value agricultural specialty that generates $50 million to $60 million a year. The state would be foolish to jeopardize this industry for the benefit of a single new low-value crop whose primary market depends on government subsidies. At a minimum, a full scientific review of the new crop's potential effects on Oregon's agricultural diversity is needed.
The new crop is canola — new to Oregon, that is. Canola, also known as rapeseed, has long been grown in the upper Great Plains region. Its seed contains an edible oil that in recent years has become a biofuel feed stock. The emerging, and still subsidized, market for biofuels makes canola potentially attractive to Willamette Valley grass and grain farmers seeking to break pest and disease cycles by planting it as a rotational crop.
One problem with canola is that it's a prolific pollinator, and also a member of the genus brassica — the same genus that contains cabbage, mustard, broccoli and a dozen other crops cultivated by Willamette Valley seed farmers. In the seed business, purity is everything — and a seed crop contaminated by canola pollen would be degraded in value.
A second problem is that most canola — 85 percent of the crop in Canada, for example — is genetically modified for resistance to herbicides. Seed crops contaminated by pollen from genetically modified canola could not be sold as organic, and many export markets would be closed altogether. Oregon's large and diverse organic seed industry regards canola as a fatal threat.
A third problem is that canola is a robust plant. Its value as an oil crop hints at its ability to produce an abundance of seed, some of which remains after harvest. The seed can be transported by birds or farm equipment, resulting in the plant's spread.
For all these reasons, the state Department of Agriculture banned canola from the Willamette Valley until this year, when it issued a rule allowing the crop to be cultivated outside an exclusion zone. Seed farmers say the new rule leaves their crops vulnerable to contamination, and invites the spread of what would amount to an invasive species.
House Bill 2742 would extend the former ban for three years. During that period Oregon State University would conduct an intensive study of the risks of canola cross-pollination and spread.
HB 2742 is a basic precaution. If canola's critics are right, allowing the crop in Oregon would be a costly and irreversible mistake. If the crop can be grown in Oregon safely, a thorough assessment of the risks and rewards would create confidence that does not exist today.
The Statesman Journal, April 13, on offering driver's licenses to Oregon residents in the country without proper documentation:
Oregon should make short-term driver licenses available for the state's undocumented residents.
This is not about bestowing rights on people who came into this country illegally but about protecting anyone who is on Oregon roads.
"We want everyone who drives in Oregon to be licensed and insured," said Gilbert Carrasco, a law professor at Willamette University and a member of the Oregon Commission on Hispanic Affairs.
It's estimated that thousands of people are driving illegally in Oregon because they don't qualify for the regular, eight-year driver license with its required proof of citizenship. And if they don't have vehicle insurance, or if they don't understand U.S. rules of the road, they increase the risks for the rest of us.
The Senate Committee on Business and Transportation conducted a public hearing earlier this month on Senate Bill 833, and a work session was held last week.
The bill would allow residents to obtain a short-term (four-year) driver license if they can prove their identity and have lived in Oregon for at least a year. The license could not be used for driving commercial vehicles, obtaining a concealed handgun license purchasing firearms or going through airport security.
The Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division would design the short-term license, which would be clearly identified as such.
Critics see this as flouting U.S. immigration law. Not so. Immigration enforcement is a federal issue. Driver licenses traditionally have been a state issue, although Congress got involved with the Real ID Act of 2005.
Gov. John Kitzhaber endured a lot of flak for asking business, law enforcement, immigration-rights and other organizations to collaboratively develop a driver license proposal. But their 22 months of work has yielded a common-sense approach.
It's true that many Oregon residents who would seek the short-term licenses are in the U.S. illegally, having overstayed student or other visas, or having entered the country unlawfully. But guess what, folks? They're here, and it's smarter to have them driving properly than to ignore reality.
Carrasco notes that when states began issuing driver licenses in the early 20th century, the goal was to ensure that all drivers were licensed, and eventually insured, regardless of legal status.
Even if the current Congress rewrites our national immigration practices, several years may pass before the changes are implemented. In the meantime, no one realistically expects the undocumented immigrants to disappear or to stop driving to work, school, church and other places.
The short-term driver license would require the DMV's usual driving tests. That is important, because driving practices in the U.S. are far different from those in some other cultures. An undocumented-immigrant driver who becomes informed on Oregon traffic regulations is a safer driver.
In addition, there are a good many Oregonians who qualify as citizens or other legal resident but have been unable to obtain driver licenses since the Real ID Act took effect. They have lost their papers, they have been unable to get a birth certificate or, because they were born in a different era, no official records of their birth exist.
SB 833 is good for Oregon. It doesn't affect immigration status. It addresses safer driving.

"For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who can annul it? And His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back"
(Isaiah 14:27, AMP).
As believers, you and I have an advantage. We don't have to go through life just depending on our own talent, our own ability, our own strength. The Scripture talks about how God's hand is outstretched toward His people. That means there is a supernatural power behind every believer. God's outstretched hand will help you accomplish dreams that you thought were impossible. His outstretched hand will cause you to get well even when the medical report says there is no way. The outstretched hand of God will help us to prosper even when the economy is down.
Let this sink down into your heart today. All through the day, imagine God's hand outstretched toward you. It is a hand of healing, a hand of favor, a hand of restoration. No matter what you may be facing, you have to realize there is a force for you that is greater than any force that will ever be against you. You're attitude should be, "I am not settling where I am. I know I have an advantage. As a child of the Most High, I know God's hand is outstretched toward me."

Losing faith in humanity, one tweet at a time.
New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner has vaguely confirmed allegations from gossip website the Dirty that he sent sexually explicit chat messages and photos to additional women. "I said that other texts and photos were likely to come out, and today they have," he said in a statement. Later, he admitted in a press conference that some of these liaisons happened after he resigned from Congress in 2011.
One of the specific claims in the Dirty's reports is that Weiner used a Yahoo account with the pseudonym "Carlos Danger" to email photos of his penis—a fact that Weiner has not confirmed or denied.
Want a fantastic online sobriquet like Carlos Danger? You're in luck.

Breaking news, everyone! There's a superstorm approaching New York, but it looks like the mayor of NYC has a boner! YOU GUYS! THE MAYOR HAS A BONER LULZ OMG!!!!
This is news. </sarcasm>
You stay classy, folks at The Daily Caller! Further proof Tucker Carlson is an overgrown frat boy.
Earlier this month, hundreds of New Yorkers received an unusual dinner invitation from the Lower East Side People's Federal Credit Union.
The Credit Union, a small lender serving New York's poor, was holding a fund-raiser to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Among the chief sponsors listed on the invitation was Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
Among the honorees: "Occupy Wall Street."
They might as well have asked Marie Antoinette to dig into her purse to support Madame Defarge's knitting business.
Shortly after the invitation was sent out, Goldman withdrew its name from the dinner. It also pulled the plug on its $5,000 funding pledge.
"Their money was welcome, but not at the price of giving up what we believe in," said Pablo DeFilippi, one of the dinner hosts and associate director of member development at the National Federal of Community Development Credit Unions. "We lost their $5,000, but we have our principles."
Linda Levy, CEO of the Lower East Side People's Federal Credit Union, declined comment saying "I made promises to people about talking about this."
Looks like if Goldman Sachs can't control the game, they'll take their ball and go home. They could have spun this into a marvelous PR opportunity. Goldman Sachs could have, but they didn't.
Good job, guys. You've done the 1% proud.
This is amazing.
Even if Geraldo Rivera was at the Zuccotti Park yesterday, Fox News has generally been a tad dismissive of the Occupy Wall Street movement… Bill O'Reilly sent a producer minion out with the same mission: to belittle OWS's cause by cutting up interviews to make people sound stupid. Well, here is an interview that Fox News filmed, but doesn't want you to see. The segment was shot on Wednesday for Greta van Susteren's show… The speaker giving Fox News the business is Jesse LaGreca, a vocal member of the Occupy Wall Street protests. This video comes courtesy of Kyle Christopher from OccupyWallSt.org's media team.
I keep watching this over and over because it's fantastic to see this Fox News peon getting completely destroyed.
About that police brutality indeed… Here's a member of the NYPD caught on camera boasting about how he's going to beat protesters. He actually says, "My little nightstick's going to get a workout tonight!" The officer then strikes the ground with his baton.
For more on tonight's police brutality committed by the NYPD, click here.
This video shows a senior NYPD officer swinging his baton, beating protesters at tonight's Occupy Wall Street march in New York City. Onlookers chant, "The whole world is watching!" The protesters were also reportedly pepper-sprayed. You can hear people screaming at others to cover their eyes, so I don't see this as outside the realm of possibility.
Reporters at The Guardian UK wrote:
Questions are once again being asked about police tactics – video footage shows officers beating some protesters with batons. Despite the march having a permit, and the roads being closed, police funnelled protesters onto the sidewarks and into tightly-penned areas. This appears to have led to the frustration: police say they made about 12 arrests, mostly for disorderly conduct when a group of protesters tried to push through a barrier.
Many protesters are asking why the actions of the police seem to lead to confrontational situations, which the organisers of the Occupy Wall Street movement are so desperate to avoid.
The footage is horrifying. I know people will argue the officer was justified because he may have thought the situation was out of control. However, this was a permitted march. The roads were closed. The NYPD kettled protesters into tight spaces for no reason.
This resembles the purposeful leading and kettling of protesters onto the Brooklyn Bridge by the police - the same bridge police protested on in 1992. That protest was described as a "beer-swilling melee" by The New York Times. And lest we forget Tony Bologna's brutality towards kettled protesters, here's video of him pepper-spraying penned-up demonstrators.
The NYPD cannot be allowed to get away with this any longer. Several of those arrested on the Brooklyn Bridge Oct. 1 filed civil rights complaints in federal court. In the complaint, protesters seek to have their arrests nullified and state:
"After escorting and leading a group of demonstrators and others well out onto the Brooklyn Bridge roadway, the NYPD suddenly and without warning curtailed further forward movement, blocked the ability of persons to leave the bridge from the rear, and arrested hundreds of protesters in the absence of probable cause."
They also seek to have the city barred from using such tactics in the future.
I stand in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street and I urge them to stand their ground. I hope these abuses of the U.S. Constitution do not dissuade people from further joining the movement. If you're like me and can't get to New York, find an event here.
As alleged in the complaint, on July 5, 2008, [Admir] Kacamakovic, while on duty and in uniform, assaulted with pepper spray, handcuffed and unlawfully detained a man who was involved in a parking dispute in front of a bar owned by Kacamakovic's cousin. Using an expletive, Kacamakovic told the man that "no one f***s with my cousin's place." Kacamakovic also pepper-sprayed a second person during the incident. Thereafter, on two separate occasions, Kacamakovic, in violation of NYPD directives, accessed the NYPD's computer system to obtain information from a federal database about the assault victim, who had filed both a complaint against Kacamakovic with the Civilian Complaint Review Board and a civil action in New York state court.
Boy, the NYPD likes their pepper spray, eh? Wonder if this guy is BFFs with Tony Bologna?

A CNN Business reporter, Alison Kosik, summarizes what she thinks the purpose of Occupy Wall Street is.
Here is her Twitter post.
UPDATE: Kosik deleted her tweet. That's the kind of confidence she had in her observation, I guess.
And to further unfold the attitude at CNN, do watch this clip of Erin Burnett reporting on Occupy Wall Street. ("What are they protesting? No one seems to know.")
Maybe that was her purpose for being there… I'm pretty sure she found no one occupying Wall Street with that specific purpose in mind. I mean, you can do that in your basement.
Astute observation, Captain Bourgeois.
I had to add this. Just read this excerpt from the story:
On Wednesday, Sept. 16, after months of growing tension between Mayor David N. Dinkins and New York City's police, more than 10,000 off-duty officers and their supporters gathered outside City Hall to protest the Dinkins administration's handling of a list of police issues. The demonstration began calmly enough, with a series of predictable chants, songs and demands.
Then something went badly awry.
A handful of people, then hundreds, then thousands, broke through police barricades and surged onto City Hall's steps. From there, the protest degenerated into a beer-swilling, traffic-snarling, epithet-hurling melee that stretched from the Brooklyn Bridge to Murray Street, where several politicians helped stoke the emotional fires.
The protest would have been noteworthy even if it had been any rally gone a bit too wild. But the protesters were the police. That only underscored the immediacy of one of the very questions they had gathered to address: Who should police the police?
Emphasis is mine. Who polices the police? It's nearly twenty years later. Imagine how the present-day story would shift if it were the Occupy Wall Street protesters swilling beer and breaking through barricades.

More than 700 people were arrested on the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday evening during a march by anti-Wall Street protesters who have been occupying a downtown Manhattan square for two weeks.
The group, called Occupy Wall Street, has been protesting against the finance industry and other perceived social ills by camping out in Zuccotti park in New York.
During the afternoon a long line of protesters numbering several thousand snaked through the streets towards the landmark bridge across the East River with the aim of ending at a Brooklyn park.
However, during the march across the bridge groups of protesters sat down or strayed into the road from the pedestrian pathway. They were then arrested in large numbers by officers who were part of a heavy police presence shepherding the march along its path.
At one stage 500 protesters were blocked off by police on the bridge. At least one journalist, freelancer Natasha Lennard for the New York Times, was among those arrested.
Is anyone shocked by this? It will be interesting to see what happens as more people show up.
New York Times(!) has great coverage here. It appears police may have inadvertently (at best) or purposefully (at worst) led some of the marchers from the walk bridge to where they were arrested. Several reports have Tony Bologna as one of the officers who was walking ahead of marchers. Here's one photo that appears to show him talking with officers watching over several handcuffed protesters on the bridge.
Up until this announcement, the Occupy Wall Street movement has been unwieldy and somewhat lacking in a coherent voice, but that's all about the change. New York City labor unions have decided to descend upon the streets of Lower Manhattan on Friday.
The leadership of the Transit Workers Union Local 100—comprised of subway and bus workers—voted unanimously to support the protestors. With a membership of 38,000, 5 Oct. will easily be the largest day yet in the protest. On 12 Oct., SEIU 32BJ, representing doormen, security guards, and maintenance workers around the city, is also staging a rally in support of the cause.
It's unclear for now whether the transit system will be completely shut down while the 38,000 workers are participating in the protest. If it is, the Occupy Wall Street movement will definitely make its mark in history. And either way, it now has a substantial footing to make a real statement about American economy policy.
Jackie DiSalvo, an #OccupyWallStreet organizer, summarized the movement's policy as such: "Occupy Wall Street will not negotiate watering down its own message."
You have no idea how excited I am to see this.
Update: Conflicting reports online have this set for Wednesday or next Friday. Tell you what - join Occupy Wall Street in NYC or a nearby city both days!
The New York Transit Workers Union (TWU) voted to support the Wall Street Protestors at their meeting last night.
A member of TWU Local 100 told a reporter that they would join the protest Friday at 4PM.
Here's more about them from their website:
The TWU has four main divisions: Railroad; Gaming; Airline; Transit; and Utility, University and Service. The Union has 114 autonomous locals representing over 200,000 members and retirees in 22 states around the country.
Occupy Wall Street has been picking up some decent support from unions in the past few days. Yesterday we reported that the Teamsters Union declared their support for protestors, and we also found out that the United Pilots Union had members at the protest demonstrating in uniform.
Keep it rolling, folks! I wish I could make it to New York, hoping to make Occupy Denver soon! I'm thrilled to see the union support. Workers everywhere, arise!
From Real Coastal Warriors:
Over 700 hundred Continental and United pilots, joined by additional pilots from other Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) carriers, demonstrate in front of Wall Street on Tuesday
Solidarity forever, my friends! The Occupy Wall Street movement is growing and it's a beautiful thing. Love the signs - how much is a pilot worth? A hell of a lot more than a Goldman Sachs executive if you ask me. So far, no one has asked me, much less them.
Maybe they should.
