2. Prepare a double boiler over simmering water. Once water is simmering, add all baking chocolate. Stir frequently to prevent scorching.
5. Using a small cookie scoop, place dough 2-inches apart on the cookie sheet. (Note: Per Jessica's recommendation, do NOT chill the dough despite its wet appearance. The dough will look like it's going to spread, but it will be fine.) Bake about 12 minutes or until the tops no longer look wet. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute, then garnish by gently pressing crushed candy canes into the tops. Transfer to cooling rack to cool completely. Makes about 2 dozen.

How often do you email your best customers? Most major online retailers owe at least part of their success to regular email communication with their customers. Whether they're announcing discounts, sending reminders about holidays or occasions, helping customers use their products, or delivering the latest news, top companies use email to stay in touch with their best clients.
Sometimes these messages pay off directly by arriving just as some customers are about to buy, but the benefits of email communication are usually less immediate--and often more valuable. If your messages help build customer loyalty, recipients will choose you over your competitors; they'll buy more frequently, and most important, they'll become voluntary marketers, recommending you to others. Your messages can also provide an ideal way to collect feedback from the customers whose views are most important to you.
No one knows better than you how to talk to your customers, but some general rules of thumb can help make your messages more effective:
|Make them welcome. Always provide a prominent, easy way for recipients to opt-out of receiving future communications from you. Better still, invite your customers to opt-in to receiving email from you.
|Make them relevant. You know your customers, and you probably know their interests and needs. Your emails should reflect this.
|Make them short. And when they contain a lot of information, make it easy for readers to find what they want. Then get to the point.
Several dependable, affordable programs exist to help manage your list and create and send messages without investing in software or outsourced solutions. Learn more about one, ConstantContact from Roving.com, a Register.com partner.

The Penn Cove Water Festival will once again honor the region's Native American heritage with canoe races, performances and education.
The festival allows Northwest tribes to share their heritage through tribal dancing, singing, storytelling, native artists' booths and demonstrations.
The event also includes food such as fry bread and salmon cooked over an alder wood fire.
The annual festival kicks off 8 p.m. Friday, May 9, with Native American storyteller Lou Labombard sharing oral traditions around a bonfire at the Pacific Rim Institute.
Saturday will feature traditional canoe races throughout the day.
The races run between the Coupeville boat launch and Coupeville wharf and can be seen from the wharf and along viewpoints on Front Street.
This year's festival will be dedicated to the late artist Roger Purdue, said festival president Vicky Reyes.
Purdue's art designs have been featured for decades as festival logos.
Prior to Purdue's passing this year, he gifted many more pieces for future festivals.
Reyes said his artwork will be displayed at the Coupeville Library.
It will also be for sale at the Native Spirit Art Show and Island County Historical Museum.
A ceremony to honor Purdue will be held before the Tsimshian dancers take the stage.
Penn Cove Shellfish is being honored this year for years of support and sponsorship, Reyes said. Gifts will be presented to Ian and Rawle Jefferds at 11 a.m. Saturday during the opening ceremony on Front Street.
There will be vendor booths along Front Street selling various items. Vistors can feast on salmon tacos with fry bread or a Central Whidbey Lions hot dog near the main stage.
Coupe's Last Stand will be selling hot dogs down by the boat launch as well this year.
Adam Lorio, education program manager for the Samish Indian Nation, will be featured as he leads activities for children on the wharf.
A juried art show featuring some of the Northwest's Native American and Native American-theme artists will be held at the Coupeville Recreation Hall on May 10 and 11.
Demonstrations by many of the artists will take place during show hours.
In cooperation with the Pacific Rim Institute, there will be a 2 p.m. shuttle run between the festival and institute to provide attendees the opportunity of experiencing one of the annual prairie tours held on Saturday.

MIDDLEBURY — Following months of charged discussion among students and administrators about the possibility of divesting the college's endowment from fossil fuels and weapons companies, seven students presented the case for divestment at the February board of trustees meeting this past Saturday. No decisions were made, but officials lauded the students for their presentation.

BRISTOL — The voters of the Bristol Police Department Special Service District will be asked to consider a 6.4 percent spending increase on Town Meeting Day that will, among other things, fund moving the department's headquarters from its current location on South Street.
MIDDLEBURY — Those who happened past the Middlebury town green at noon on Valentine's Day may have noticed an unusual sight: around 30 women holding signs, dancing, singing and speaking out. It was part of One Billion Rising, an event hosted by WomenSafe in solidarity with gatherings around the world that day to raise awareness about violence against women.
MIDDLEBURY — Despite sub-freezing temperatures this time of year, some Vermonters are bundling up extra warmly and making their way to work without the comfort of a heated car.
For myriad reasons that include health and fitness, environmental responsibility, and financial savings, many members of the Addison County community choose to rely on bicycles as their primary form of transportation.
"It's the way we enjoy getting around," said Middlebury resident Rebekah Irwin, of her family's dedication to biking.
BRISTOL — With the first of two bond votes slated for Town Meeting Day, public discussion about a proposed upgrade to the Bristol Fire Department's North Street facility is beginning in earnest.
Bristol residents said there have been significant neighbor-to-neighbor conversations on the proposed major expansion of the firehouse, with some taking sides on preliminary plans that would add 10,000 square feet of space to the 116-year-old building at a cost approaching $2 million.
MIDDLEBURY — Construction of Middlebury College's new squash facility, the first project scheduled in a major upgrade to the college's South Main Street athletics complex, will be complete by October for the fall squash season. Phase one of construction — initial site work — started in November 2012 and was completed in December 2012. Construction will resume when phase two of the squash project begins late this month.
MONKTON — Monkton's Development Review Board has denied a contentious application for a 39.5-acre quarry proposed by Michael and Allan Brisson's Brisson Stone LLC because the quarry would have extracted bedrock and crushed it for gravel, which the board said was prohibited. The quarry was to be managed by David Shlansky's Burchfield Management Company.
Brisson Stone and Burchfield will likely appeal the Monkton DRB's decision to the Vermont Environmental Court, Allan Brisson told the Independent in a telephone interview.
MONTPELIER — At a pre-hearing conference last Wednesday, the Vermont Public Service Board pushed back on Vermont Gas Systems' preferred schedule for its proposed natural gas pipeline.
The PSB told VGS that its schedule for the pipeline, which would bring Canadian natural gas through Addison County to customers in Vergennes and Middlebury and also to International Paper in Ticonderoga, N.Y., was too aggressive.
The pipeline's route from Chittenden County through Monkton has been the subject of heated dispute in recent weeks.
BRISTOL — The number of candidates running for the Bristol selectboard dwindled to two last week. Bristol Planning Commission member Kris Perlee withdrew his petition for his candidacy on the selectboard before the ballot was finalized at 5 p.m. Wednesday, after press time for the last issue of the Independent.
"Due to possible conflicts with planning commission, other commitments, and time with my family, I do not believe this is the best time for me to run," Perlee said on Thursday.
Editor's note: The version of this article ran in the print edition stated that Kris Perlee was a candidate in the selectboard race. Perlee withdrew his petition for candidacy after press time for this edition of the Independent. This article has been amended to reflect that change.

Weekly sports ramblings - Feb. 26, 2009
• The Detroit Pistons are demonstrating to the rest of the NBA just how important it is to have a true point guard in the NBA. This team has been completely dysfunctional for the past month and is showing no signs of turning it around, which could put us in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time in some years. When you think of the fact this team has consistently been one of the top 2 to 3 teams in the Eastern Conference year-in and out, it's really a shame this season could go in the tank.
I'm sorry but AI just isn't meshing well at all with the team and it's making first year coach Michael Curry's job miserable as he is now taking most of the blame from the wonderful Detroit media. I admit, Curry might not have been on ANYONE else's list for head coach this year but he knows Joe D and he knows Detroit. He knows how a team should be ran and what he expects from each player on the roster. I'm not saying none of the problem is his fault but looking I do believe if Billups were never traded, this team would be competing with Boston and Cleveland in the win column.
I think the 'stones will definitely be all right in the long run but as for this year, we could be finishing worse than teams like Atlanta, Charlotte, and Indiana. That doesn't feel right, does it? What a year for the City of Detroit – Economic collapse; first ever 0-16 NFL team; Wolverines completed their worst season…EVER; the Pistons possibly missing the postseason; and the Tigers significantly underachieved in '08…not to mention the Red Wings are having trouble selling tickets (Minnesota Wild have more consecutive sellouts)…but at least the Wings are still winning. I think I'd have to go into hibernation if the Wings don't make the playoffs.
• Free Agency opens Friday for the NFL. Historically, the Lions haven't been major players in Free Agency but after a season like last year combined with the already overflowing crowd of good players cut in cap-moves, the Lions can't afford not to seriously consider signing a pricy lineman on both sides of the ball. O-line is our biggest hole from last season. Mayhew has already discussed moving overrated Jeff Backus to LG from LT. I've been suggesting that to my TV set for 3 years now. It actually might help Backus become a Pro-bowler (can't believe I just said that). But aside from Backus, Raiola at center and Cherilus at RT are the only other solid pieces. We need a RG and a LT, which happens to be the most pricy, important lineman you can have (the person who is responsible for protecting the QBs blindside). There have already been numerous players entered into the pool whom are more than capable of filling these positions better than the draft could do but outlook for signing a pricy lineman is probably not good. Mayhew has said the draft is where it has to happen and that Free Agency isn't the way to build, although I strongly disagree to an extent. If a proven player is out there and is showing no signs of slowing down, why chance more than $50 million dollars (the average going rate for a top ten draft pick) when you could get the proven player for $20? Makes zero sense to me.
Another player I believe could help make strides for the Lions would be Albert Haynesworth. I'm guessing, though, that's about a 2-percent chance. The difference in having a tremendous player on the D-line compared to just a solid player is astonishing. Just look at the Chiefs with Jared Allen and the Chiefs without Jared Allen; the same with Minnesota before and after. Both defenses were significantly better with Allen than without him – to the tune of top in the league with and bottom without; not just a couple spots difference.

Ya, that was kind of rude... uncalled for as well, pretty much a useless comment. Perhaps the customer wanted this exact launcher and it was his specs. Anyways, who are you to judge what people want or like. Considering you only have 1 cannon posted and that wasn't anything 'special' either, so it's kind of hard to criticize others.
Not every cannon has to be 'revolutionary'. It is what it is, and that's a simple, very clean looking cannon. It's hard to make cannons this clean looking, so that's something to be said right there. So either try to make a positive comment or at least one that will be considered as constructive... not just oh, who would buy that?

Frequently Asked Questions
One of my LED Light Pockets keeps flickering on and off or will not come on at all, what do I do?
If your LED Light Pocket flickers, it is normally a sign of a weak connection. Firstly check that the the two brass metal connection strips are under each grub screw on the bottom fittings.
If not, adjust them accordingly and tighten the grub screw on the bottom fittings.
If the LED Light Pocket will not come on check that it has been installed the correct way around. Look for the positive (+) and negative (-) stickers on the fittings, they should all be facing you. The positive (+) sticker should always be on the right and negative (-) on the left.
If only one LED Light Pocket is not working it could be a technical fault with the panel. In this case contact us directly.
The whole column of my LED Light Pocket kit is flickering or will not turn on, what do I do?
If a whole column of LED Light Panels flickers or will not turn on it is usually because of the transformer. The first thing to do is check that power is reaching the transformer, this is easy to do. Simply see if the small red light on the transformer is on.
If not, check that the fuse in the plug is in working order.
If the light is on check that the transformer connections are securely fitted onto the cables. If the red light on the transformer does not come on after all the above checks, it is possible that it is faulty. In this case contact us directly.
Guidelines for electricians
LED Light Pockets can be connected to 13 amp sockets or to an electrical spur.
Before installation, check the total amps required. Eg. A display that consists of 3 x A4 pockets and will be supplied with a power pack with a 2 amp loading allowance.Your window display may have 4 of these kits which means you will need to allow for 4 power packs, each with a 3 pin plug (supplied).
Installation into metal window frames
Please be aware that if you intend installing your LED Light Pocket kit into a metal window frame you will need to install isolators for your cables/rods both top and bottom. Contact us for more information.
Electrical supply requirements
Please note that when multiple displays are installed you will need to allow for up to 80 - 100 amp in-rush current for up to 100us. We therefore recommend that a C or D type anti surge breaker is used in the fuse board when groups of supplies are switched on manually or automatically by a time-clock.
It is the electrician's responsibility to ensure that suitable provision is provided when units are switched on.
We do not recommend connecting your LED Light Pocket display to the lighting circuit.
Our LED Light Pocket Display Kits are supplied as standard with floor to ceiling cable or rod connectors (see A below), at no additional cost. We do however supply alternative connector kits (pictured below). Please ensure you select the correct cable/rod connector kit from the drop down menu above for your installation.
If you require guidance please feel free to contact us.

7 - 10 Working days.
We will deliver your order during the working day between the times of 9:00am and 5.00pm (Monday to Friday).

BRAINTREE, Mass. – It was a strong start to the 2011-12 season for the MIT rifle team today as the Engineers defeated Wentworth by a score of 4,323-4,207 in a match held at the Braintree Rifle and Pistol Club. MIT won both the smallbore (2,137-2,075) and air rifle (2,186-2,132) portions of the competition.
Junior Elizabeth Phillips (Anchorage, Alaska) led the way for MIT in both disciplines, shooting a career-best 557 in smallbore and a 561 in air rifle to lead all competitors in both categories. Senior Nigel Kojimoto (Honolulu, Hawaii) fired a 535 in smallbore to record the third-best total among all shooters. Junior Timothy Jenks (The Woodlands, Texas) had a 535, while senior Michael Batista (Melbourne, Fla.) added a 518 for the Engineers.
In the air rifle portion Batista was forced to use a gun he had never fired before after encountering difficulties with his own rifle, recovering to shoot a 544, the second highest score on the team behind a 561 from Phillips. Kojimoto also fired a 544, while senior Jennifer de Bruijn (Harare, Zimbabwe) added a 537.
MIT will be back in action again on October 15 when it hosts Wentworth and John Jay in a 9:00 a.m. start.

God's volcano
If Martin Luther were a student today...
Mike Reeves
- Mike Reeves was formerly UCCF's Head of Theology, and is now Theologian-at-Large at Wales Evangelical School of Theology. View all resources by Mike Reeves
Its not hard to imagine Martin Luther as a student today. Hero of the Reformation he may have been, yet he was far too red-blooded ever to become a stained-glass figure. Without a doubt, students today would still flock to his house: having his own brewery and his own bowling alley, as he did, would see to that. There they could enjoy all the late-night chats they wanted, for, once talking over a mug of his beloved Wittenberg beer, Luther was famed for his ability not to stop until dawn. Yet for all that, he would be just as world-shatteringly rebellious and revolutionary on a campus today as he was half a millennium ago. For Luther was one of those exotic rarities among men: he always went to the heart of the issue.
The lost gospel
Luthers was a day when the air rang with cries for reform. The universal complaint to be heard across Europe was that the Roman Catholic Church had become as corrupt and worldly as any other institution. Loyal sons of Rome could be heard launching stinging attacks on the abuses seen there: the poet Dante was widely applauded for placing Popes Nicholas III and Boniface VIII in the eighth circle of hell in his Inferno; the great Renaissance scholar Erasmus wrote an extremely popular work about the exclusion of Pope Julius II from heaven. So, when Luther began the Reformation, critics of Rome like Erasmus assumed that he was simply singing from their hymn-sheet. As such they treated him as an honoured member of the club, a welcome fellow-critic, a new broom who could sweep Rome clean.
It was a few years before they realised that they could not have been more wrong. Luther had no interest in merely cleaning up Church abuses. For Luther had seen a problem in Rome which festered beneath all the corruption: quite simply, Rome had lost the gospel. This was the vital heart of the issue, and yet for all the calls for reform, nobody else had really seen it.
Here I stand
The other extraordinary thing about Luther was that, having once had that dizzying, reality-inverting glimpse of the gospel as the great fundamental issue, he never blinked. Christian students today face increasing hostility, the more so as they cling to the ever-offensive gospel. Luther faced the wrath of the Emperor, the Pope, burning at the stake and the prospect of hell ever after if he was wrong. To all this he managed to reply: I am bound by the Scriptures I have quoted and my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not retract anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. I cannot do otherwise, here I stand, may God help me, Amen.
It was no mere bluster or passing bravado. Luther saw that it is precisely when the gospel is most under attack that Gods people must do theology and thus bind themselves to the Scriptures with all the more urgency. The year before his famous here I stand speech he managed to produce all three of the works that encapsulated the theology of the new Reformation. In the months that followed, in hiding, under a sentence of death, he translated the entire New Testament into his native German. Luther not only saw the gospel as the issue behind all issues; he clung to it and held it aloft when everything around him would tear him away.
The tower experience
What was it that set Luther apart? What made him so revolutionary and so influential? How was it that he could see through to the heart of the issue when others could only see surface matters? And what gave him the ability to maintain such active loyalty to the gospel under such pressure? Was it that he was especially insightful or brave by temperament? The answer to the last question is a simple No. Before his life-changing tower experience, when he came to understand justification by faith alone properly for the first time, it has to be said his writings do not show an especially insightful mind. His sermons and commentaries from those early years mostly consist of second-hand theology and other peoples thoughts regurgitated. And, amongst other incidents, his sheer terror at being caught in a thunderstorm as a student belies the idea that he might have been endowed with much natural courage. The simple fact is that what set Luther apart was the tower experience. Luther felt such a liberation from the slavery of trying to earn righteousness before God that he could not but see the gospel as the fundamental answer to the problems of his, and every, age.
A new priesthood
If that was the experience that made Luther what he was, we have to ask whether or not most students who call themselves evangelical have shared it. Have even the evangelical students grasped justification by faith alone in such a way that they share Luthers gospel insight, obsession and courage? Tragically, the answer must be depressingly negative because some of the very problems that Luther saw in Rome have embedded themselves deep within contemporary evangelical student piety.
At this point, some readers will undoubtedly move on to the next article, for this, surely, can only be the raving of someone with no understanding of history whatsoever. Was not Luther battling a system in which a hierarchical priesthood presided over a people who were taught to earn merit before God? What has that to do with any CU? Yet, look closer and you can see the priesthood is still there.
Sometimes it can establish itself among the worship leaders, who then strum their soothing musical absolutions to a people who seek to sing themselves back into a state of grace. When that happens the worship leaders become the indispensable intermediaries between God and man, serving an instinctive doctrine of justification by emotion. There are no theologians of this doctrine; it is not that kind of belief. Yet still its debilitating effects can be felt: I sin, and so feel God loves me not; I sing, and then feel God loves me again. It is hardly a belief to allow for much joy outside of the ecstatic worship time.
The details might change, even considerably, but the phenomenon should be a recognisable one. In other circles, it is not justification by emotion but justification by Quiet Times, by meeting attendance or by activism. The particulars of worship and devotional style are really circumstantial, but the root problem remains. That is, my status before God is seen to be dependent in some way upon my own performance.
Feelings, failures and faith
Luther was brutally honest about how he reacted to such performance-related religion: I did not love, yes, I hated the righteous God who punishes sinners, and secretly, if not blasphemously, certainly murmuring greatly, I was angry with God. Then he discovered the gospel that, by mere faith, I, while remaining the sinner I am, am permanently clothed with the very righteousness of Christ himself. Thus I am permanently loved by God despite my feelings and despite my failures. It was this that gave Luther his dazzling confidence and joy, and led him to recommend:
When the devil throws our sins up to us and declares that we deserve death and hell, we ought to speak thus: I admit that I deserve death and hell. What of it? Does this mean that I shall be sentenced to eternal damnation? By no means. For I know One who suffered and made satisfaction in my behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Where he is, there I shall be also.
If today we fail to share Luthers world-changing obsession with the gospel, it is only because we have let the death-defying, joy-giving beauty and sweetness of justification by faith alone slip through our fingers. Every other gospel, be it a gospel of emotional fulfilment or social transformation, can only leave us comparatively apathetic. It was this gospel alone that fired Luther to turn Europe upside down. If Luther were a student today, armed with this gospel, we would have another Reformation. But what if a whole generation of students were to grasp this gospel as he did?

The tuition fees you will pay for this program will depend on whether you are offered a Victorian Government subsidised place or a full-fee place.
The student tuition fees as displayed by the fee finder are indicative only and subject to change given individual circumstances at enrolment. Fees are adjusted on an annual basis and these fees should only be used as a guide. Learn more about fees for vocational study.
Additional expenses
In addition to tuition fees, you will be charged an annual student services and amenities fee (SSAF), which is used to maintain and enhance services and amenities that improve your experience as an RMIT student.
The SSAF is calculated based on your enrolment load and the maximum fee for 2017 is $294.
For more information about calculating your actual SSAF see Paying SSAF.
You may also be required to purchase other items related to your program, including field trips, textbooks and equipment. These additional fees and expenses vary from program to program.
Fee assistance
You may be able to apply for the VET FEE-HELP loan scheme.
VET FEE-HELP loans are available for eligible vocational education students (such as Australian citizens or holders of an Australian permanent humanitarian visa) enrolling in an eligible diploma, advanced diploma, full-fee vocational graduate certificate or vocational graduate diploma program and can be used to defer payment of up to 100% of your tuition fees.
How does a HELP loan work?
If your VET FEE-HELP loan application is successful, the Australian Government will pay RMIT, on your behalf, up to 100% of your fees. This amount will become part of your accumulated HELP debt.
You will only start repaying your accumulated HELP debt to the Australian Government once you earn above the minimum income threshold for repayment, which is set each year by the Australian Government (this also applies if you are still studying).
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) will calculate your compulsory repayment for the year and include this on your income tax notice.
For more information about loan repayment options see Commonwealth assistance (HELP loans) or Study Assist.
VET FEE-HELP Student Entry Procedure*
How will this affect me?
A student's eligibility to access VET FEE-HELP (VFH) is not the same as their ability to meet program entry requirements. To be eligible to apply for VFH, students must be assessed as being academically suitable to undertake a Diploma, Advanced Diploma, VE Graduate Diploma or VE Graduate Certificate. To meet these requirements, a student must either:
provide a copy of their Senior Secondary Certificate of Education as awarded by an agency or authority of any State or Territory; or
complete an approved literacy and numeracy assessment and display competence at or above Exit Level 3 in the Australian Core Skills Framework in both reading and numeracy. RMIT must also be confident that the assessment has been completed independently and that the student has the necessary competence.
See RMIT's VE Enrolment Guide for further information. RMIT will inform you of your results as soon as practicable, and you are required to bring the completed document to your enrolment session. Your results will be retained as per RMIT policy, and may be provided to the Commonwealth if requested.
A student who does not meet academic suitability requirements is not eligible to apply for a VFH loan, but they may be considered for a place if they meet all other program entry requirements.
*From 1 January 2016 the Higher Education Support Act 2003 and the associated Higher Education Support (VET) Guideline 2015 require that all domestic students wishing to apply for a VET FEE-HELP (VFH) loan are assessed for academic suitability.
View tuition fees for future years.
Other costs
In addition to tuition fees you also need to pay for:
- Student services and amenities fee (SSAF) in each calendar year.
- Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) - Student visa holders must have cover for the total duration of their visa.
- Some programs incur additional expenses.
You also need to account for your living expenses. Estimate the cost of living in Melbourne.

Bank of Hawaiʻi executive to address UH Hilo fall graduates
UH Hilo Home > News and Events > UH Hilo Press Releases
Date: Monday, December 7, 2009
Contact: Alyson Kakugawa-Leong, (808) 974-7642
For Immediate Release
Wayne Y. Hamano, vice chair and chief commercial officer for Bank of Hawaiʻi, will keynote the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo fall commencement, scheduled for 9 a.m. Saturday, December 19, at the UH Hilo new gym.
A total of 269 students are candidates for various degrees and certificates representing the Colleges of Arts and Sciences (219), Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resource Management (11), College of Business and Economics (31) and Ka Haka `Ula O Ke`elikolani College of Hawaiian Language (8).
Hamano joined Bank of Hawaiʻi in 1977 as a commercial credit analyst, but left in 1987 to pursue an opportunity to manage a small local business. He resumed his career with the bank in 1993 when he returned to work in the Corporate Hawaiʻi Division and Special Assets Department.
A member of the bank's Managing Committee since 2006, Hamano served as senior executive vice president and chief commercial officer before being promoted to his current position in December 2008. His responsibilities include overseeing the Hawaiʻi Commercial Banking Division, Corporate Banking, Leasing, Dealer Commercial Services, Commercial Real Estate Loan Division, and Cash Management Division. He also has responsibility for the bank's Pacific Island Division that includes operations in Guam, Saipan, Palau and American Samoa.
A Hilo High School graduate, Hamano earned a bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa and is a graduate of the University of Washington's Pacific Coast Banking School. Active in his community, Hamano serves on various boards, including the UH Hilo Advisory Board, the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce of Hawaiʻi and the Metro YMCA.
Gladys Tong Hoi Yee, a Business Administration major, represents the graduating class as student speaker. At 18, Tong will become one of the youngest students to ever earn a four-year degree from UH Hilo. She was schooled in her native Singapore, Hong Kong and Mainland China before enrolling at UH Hilo, where she has maintained a 3.34 grade point average while completing work on her degree in just two-and-a-half years.
Tong's campus and community service is extensive. She most recently served among a select group of students for the College of Business and Economics during its recent Maintenance of Accreditation review team visit from The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International).
Tong also helped new, transfer, returning and exchange students become familiar with UH Hilo and the local culture this past year as a student orientation leader. She directed publicity for the International Student Organization's International Nights and United Nations Day, served as advertising manager for the student newspaper Ke Kalahea, and worked as a docent guide at the 'Imiloa Astronomy Center.
After graduation, Tong plans to pursue a master's degree in the Global Business Communications Program at Tsing Hua University in Beijing, or apply to become an inspector with the Hong Kong police force.

Want a man? Stop being a b-tch
THIS is what happened to all the 'good guys'
Ladies, listen up: If you're busy finding sexual "empowerment," relentlessly climbing the ranks in a fast-paced career and aggressively asserting your independence, you'll likely have trouble finding a good man.
It's a common complaint among American women: "What happened to all the good guys?"
Despite your beauty and brilliance, it could be your attitude that's preventing you from finding a husband and keeping him.
At least that's the message from Suzanne Venker in her hot new release, "How to Choose a Husband and Make Peace With Marriage."
Venker, a former teacher-turned-social critic and author of "The Flipside of Feminism," found herself divorced at age 27. That failed marriage forced her to re-examine her attitude and approach to relationships. She's now happily living in the Midwest with her second husband of 15 years and two children.
If you want a good marriage, it doesn't just happen. You have to be willing to create it! Find out how in Suzanne Venker's "How to Choose a Husband and Make Peace With Marriage," and get "The War on Men" too!
Boycott the 'Sex and the City' lifestyle
Venker faults the sexual revolution and feminist movement of the last 40 years for convincing women to not demand more of their relationships.
"Women lowered their standards," she told WND. "They did this by changing the way they approach sex. That's the No. 1 biggest issue. They've lost any sort of reasonable modesty or holding high standards and having a lot of self-respect in terms of the way they carry themselves and dress and how quickly they have sex."
She added, "It's funny, this whole 'empowerment' idea was supposed to make women better and give them greater self-esteem. 'Empowered' is a great word, but it's totally misused by feminists. Sexual empowerment does not mean sleeping around. In fact, the message is quite the opposite. It shows that you don't think very much of yourself, that you don't think you're worthy of waiting for or committing to. Honestly, I think a lot of women have no idea that that's how it works between women and men and that their behavior and attitude has driven men into a different direction."
But how can women find men who are good husbands, fathers and providers? Don't look to feminists for the answers, Venker warns.
"The way we do that is to happily depend on what men bring to the table, their masculinity, their desire to provide for and protect their woman," she explained.
"If you want him to step up to the plate and become a family man, you need to respect and honor his career path and really get behind it because it will be what carries you if you choose to have children."
Venker said the feminist movement has taught women to stop needing men – for anything in life – from companionship to financial support or even childbearing.
"Men have been hearing for years that women don't need their money," she said. "They don't need anything from men. Men have just sort of given up. They just stop trying because you don't need their money, you don't need them as husbands and you're sexually 'empowered.' There's just a whole different set of circumstances that women created, and that's why men are the way they are.
"It's opposite of what feminists will say: There was never equality. Women have now stepped up to the plate, and they're surpassing men. Men are just losers. They can't keep up. That's their argument."
Smart women live an 'examined' life
In her book, "How to Choose a Husband," Venker urges women to avoid the feminist trap and, instead, choose to live an "examined" life:
At the end of the day, people live one of two lives: an examined life, or an unexamined life. It has been my observation that most people choose the latter. An unexamined life is when you move through the years mindlessly, not really thinking about what you're doing or why you're doing it, or even if you like doing it. You're just doing it, whatever "it" is, because that's what other people are doing – because that's what you think you're supposed to do. Or because, quite frankly, it's easier. Living an unexamined life means living a life someone else designed for you.
The examined life is different. The examined life is when you tune out the voices, sounds, and visuals in your midst and make important decisions based on what you want and what you believe is right. More than anything, it means dismissing cultural trends that conflict with your core beliefs.
Once women remove negative cultural messages, they can determine what it is they want from life and love.
"Nobody wants to stand out and be ostracized or feel like an oddball. They're so honed in on media, and that media world is clearly sending a message that is going to be counterproductive if your goal is to settle down with a family someday," she said. "The media message is all about staying single, focusing solely on your career and even praising single motherhood – basically just dissing men and marriage. It's just foolish to think that kind of steady message is not having an effect on young people. Of course it is."
Life isn't all about YOU
Society tells women to spend years "finding themselves" before even considering marriage. While Venker agrees that men and women should learn to be self-sufficient and take care of themselves, she calls the "find yourself" rule "the biggest lie ever told."
"This whole idea that you're supposed to all of the sudden wake up and find yourself after X number of years and then say, 'OK, I'm ready now. Everybody come in my life,' it doesn't work that way," she said. "That's precisely what modern women have been taught."
In the self-centered American culture, today's generations have been taught to believe "they're so special life should be handed to them on a silver platter."
Perfection is considered key to happiness – and we're told each of us deserves nothing less.
But Venker explained that having a truly meaningful relationship means happiness can come from sharing, making sacrifices and giving of yourself to others.
"Those concepts are completely foreign to the modern generation," she said. "They live in a one-click culture. Any need they have at the moment is met. The concept of doing without or suffering temporarily in pursuit of a greater goal, whether it's for yourself or your family, is foreign.
"If something doesn't work, you just throw it out and get a new one. This throw-away culture is hugely destructive to marriage. If you're a self-centered person who has to have your needs met at every moment, you probably should not get married, because it's not going to work that way."
Venker said many people who postpone marriage until later in life say they want their "freedom."
"Who doesn't?" she asked. "Everybody likes that and wants that, but most people will eventually hit a wall and that won't be enough. You might find that living for yourself and with yourself is just not feeding your soul. If you want to truly reach that peaceful place where you're satisfied and happy, you're going to have to give and make sacrifices. Through those sacrifices, you'll become a much better person."
Choosing the right husband is the single most important decision you'll ever make in your lifetime. But it's only Step 1! Suzanne Venker will show you "How to Choose a Husband and Make Peace With Marriage."
Thinking about shacking up?
In recent years, some studies have indicated that couples who live together before marriage face a greater risk of divorce.
While there are several theories on why that is, Venker sees one pitfall of shacking up: "There's a completely different psychological process that happens when you're involved in a cohabitation situation where you technically have an out, an easy out. You just walk out the door any day you want. Knowing that in your psyche changes the way you approach the relationship and the problems within it. If you enter a relationship knowing that it's a done deal and that the decision has already been made, that's a completely different psychological process."
Venker said if a couple hasn't already decided to spend their lives together, cohabitation can spell doom for the relationship.
"If you've made that decision consciously and then you get married, that's a whole psychological thought process that you take with you," she said. "If you haven't made the decision yet, and you're playing house, you won't have the clarity you need to decide whether to make it official."
Is love really all you need?
The Beatles may have been right in a lot of ways, but they were wrong about one important thing: Love is not all you need.
"That is absolutely one of the most destructive ideas out there," Venker said, noting that a couple must consider compatibility issues that don't have anything to do with romance or love before entering into marriage.
"It's much more of a business thought process than a romantic thought process," she said. "People don't like that because they want it to all be about love and feelings. But the reality is that feeling is not going to last 50 years. It's just not. It's going to evolve, hopefully.
"Love is absolutely not enough. I learned that the hard way."
Venker said she had noticed many warning signs before her first marriage, but she falsely believed love would conquer all.
"I had all those red flags, but I wanted what I wanted," she said. "I truly believed that it all wouldn't matter because I was going to force the situation because I wanted to be with him. I love him and I didn't understand walking away from that."
What it means to be a wife
What happened after the '"Happily ever after"?
"How to Choose a Husband" explains, "[Marriage] is a continual act of refinement: your learning how to be a better wife, and his learning how to be a better husband."
Venker explains that the feminist culture has created unnecessary marital strife for one big reason: "Women are bitter. They're defensive; they're competitive; and they're ready to pounce. …
"[E]quality is always the goal. Women want to prove they're strong and capable and can't be messed with. To them, that's power. But all women end up doing is proving to men how angry they are. And who wants to be with someone who's mad all the time?"
Venker warns women to stop trying to compete with their husbands and to remove the "boss hat" when they get home – because marriage is about love, not competition and aggressiveness.
"Maybe women think being b-tchy is attractive since that's what they're attracted to. Women love guys who aren't sweet. They gravitate toward men who are confident, accomplished, and yes, full of themselves. Women are forever passing up the nice guy in favor of the jerk. But you can rarely turn this scenario around. Men don't want a b–tch for a wife. So don't be one."
Unequally yoked: Where does God fit in?
What role does God play in a successful relationship?
Venker says two believers or two unbelievers can find success in marriage, but the relationship will face trouble when one person is religious and the other doesn't believe in God.
"Because we're having such a decline in religion these days, a lot of people are getting together with other people who are of a different religion or who are agnostic," she said. "That will be an issue. That's what I ran into.
"Religion may not feel like a big issue at the time, but it's absolutely going to become a big issue if you're going to have children. If you plan to have a child – and one of you is a nonbeliever and the other person is – that, to me, is going to be much more of a concern than just marrying somebody of a different religion or two people who don't believe together."
Venker explained that there are two worldviews: One with God and one without Him.
"They do not match, in any way, shape or form," she said. "You carry that thought process in all the decisions you make, the relationships you have, the way you work, the way you live, the way you raise your kids. Even though you're not feeling it while you're dating, it's going to be an issue later. A believer and a nonbeliever are going to struggle."
So why have women been fed a steady diet of feminist lies?
"What they get out of it is validation," Venker said. "The problem with feminists is that they are not like most women. They're actually more like men. They don't like that. They don't like feeling out of place.
"The more women they can get to jump on board with the way they do things, the more normal they feel. They're trying to convince themselves that they really are good people, even though they're rejecting the concept of sacrifice."

Clear Your Desk Space By Hiding Your Hard Drives
There comes a time when you need an external hard drive to either backup your system, offload some files onto another computer or just for mass storage. But when they're all connected by USB, it can become a cluttered mess of wires and what-not all over your desk. How do you fix that without making it look bad? Turns out there are some sneaky ways you can do it with just a few basic parts.
Option 1 — Go Piggybacking: If you've got an iMac or an Apple Cinema Display, one option is to get a Backpack from TwelveSouth. These little babies clamp onto the mounting arm of the display and act like a shelf, perfect for your hard drive. They even come with wire ties for cord management, and a silicone mat so that the spinning of the drive doesn't cause too much noise.
Option 2 — Hide Them in Plain Sight: I have three Western Digital My Book drives for various reasons, and until I can get a dedicated NAS unit, this is my best option. To keep them in the open to stay cool yet out of view, I hide them behind my Lego collection. Sure, it's a bit dorky, but you could put yours behind some books or a printer if you want, or get creative with your own ideas.
Option 3 — Velcro: For the drives that I want to keep portable yet want to keep off of my desk, I use industrial-strength Velcro to affix them to the bottom of my desk. Then I run the USB cable to a USB hub that's also secured to the underside of the desk, keeping things nice and neat. It's the best of both worlds, and the velcro is more than strong enough to hold up the drive.

A couple of weeks ago, Windows Phone Central published a dual review of Cut the Rope and Spider Jack. Both games stem from Russian developers, star cute and hungry little critters, and feature gameplay that involves the cutting of ropes (or spider webs). Cut the Rope may be better known (all of my Windows Phone friends bought it), but I actually found Spider Jack a bit more enjoyable. Despite its quality however, Spider Jack suffered one major disadvantage compared to Cut the Rope: its $2.99 price.
Last week, Spider Jack developer MaxNick's second Xbox Windows Phone title Turn N Run launched at the 99 cent price point (after briefly appearing at $2.99 due to a mistake). That prompted us to wonder whether Spider Jack might soon drop to the same price. Well, that's exactly what happened today! You can now grab Spider Jack for just a buck.
Spider Jack is a simple puzzle game starring a lovable green arachnid named Jack. He's got a hankering for juicy flies, which you'll need to help him get. To do this, you attach the spider's thread to a knob. He'll then swing around, collecting anything he touches. You'll also need to cut the rope, err, thread in order to drop Jack onto items.
The game features 125 levels that take place across a variety of locations, from a playroom to the Oval office itself. Each environment has one or two special features/obstacles to make the puzzles interesting, such as electric gates, teleportation portals, and wads of bubble gum. The short levels and simple controls are perfect for mobile play. Plus the Achievements are pretty easy – perhaps a bit more so than Cut the Rope's.
Spider Jack works great on both Windows Phone 7 and 8. Climb over here on the Windows Phone Store to get it.

Rome Wasn't Built in a Day
Well if you're anything like me, you're still walking into walls and stumbling around like one of Jack Nicholson's friends in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, after that loss on Sunday. I gotta tell you though, I am more upset over football season ending than anything.
Honestly, for me, it's more of a feeling of "What the heck is it that I do when football season is over", because I never can remember life without football until a couple of months into the annual adjustment period. By the time I realize that I have adjusted, The Dallas Mavericks season will be in full swing and I will be excited again. There is no comparison between football and basketball, but I truly do love The Mavericks and have stuck by them from day 1. There's a story behind that and a reason why I am a die hard Mavs fan, but I will spare you the details, for today at least.
Back to football and the Cowboys……I really am not broken hearted over The Cowboys season. I'm just not. When the season is going, no matter if it's The Cowboys or my son's baseball team, I will only allow myself positive thoughts and I only exude positivity. But if you want to know the truth, The Cowboys amazed me with every win. I believe this team we have right now is going to be another dynasty, but they are young and the coaches are new to the team and to each other, and it wasn't time yet. We had more "W's" in the win column than we actually deserved. We had some quirky wins that just weren't strong enough to hold us until the end. Many teams improved over the season. The Cowboys improved and then flatlined midway through. I am proud that they made it as far as they did with the problems they had.
I am a natural born cheerleader in the spirit department. I sucked at gymnastics, so I never was one. Instead they asked me to start a pep squad because all my friends were cheerleaders and I was always yelling at them and the team and every one in the stands noticed me (imagine that huh?). My point is, that I can remember being down 30 points midway through the 4th quarter (our team always sucked) and getting my squad and the cheerleaders to do these ridiculous cheers and keep the faith, when I knew in my sensible mind we were toast.
This Dallas Cowboys team is made of greatness, greatness that needs time to build. As the saying goes "Rome wasn't built in a day".
Romo is the leader, Owens has found his home and is leading with him. Garrett is going to be a mainstay and the real coach regardless of his title. Great things are coming. Maybe even as soon as this coming season. I am counting on that because I can see it. All I have to do is look back to 1990 and remember how horrible we looked in the record books, but still see the magic that was building between those teammates and with that man that I will love for the rest of my life, Jimmy Johnson.
So no folks, I am not sad or broken hearted. I am convinced and confident in my instincts, that these Dallas Cowboys are "Back in Town" and will make us all happy for many seasons to come. I feel it, I know it.

Is it cold you are feeling?
Your shivering is making me shiver too, but there is an excruciating pain I am feeling at the back of my head that I cannot express in words.
I love this shirt of yours, it suits you. It makes you look elegant and corporate.
Look at me! Please!
Your hair is so disheveled, your eyes are vague, were you drinking tonight?
The leaves are not moving, it is the silence of graveyard, isn't it?
Your phone, where is it? Never saw your without it. You always had some or the other thing to do with it. Yes, work.
You know, I am having this crushed feeling, behind the head, eyes, everywhere.
How would you know? My ramblings had never meant a thing to you.
Look!! The leaves are moving, nice breeze on your face. Your hair and face can feel the breeze now.
Oh, you don't look happy about it. Why? Is it because you couldn't ignite your cigarette in the breeze. I might suffocate you know. So may be, it is better this way.
I am already suffocating; you should not increase that pain.
Are you in love? Well, no, of course I know. All I want to know is, can you love again?
Your eyes are saying everything. I am still there, still inside your brain and heart.
I am a corpse now.
I only exist in memories. This graveyard is my home now and there is no eternity.
So, my love, breathe. Breathe till you can, open your eyes. Fall in love.
Fall in love, one more time.
It is late, you should leave the graveyard now. You do not belong here.
If you need anything, you will always find me here.
Waiting for you.
Looking at you.
Beside you.
Loving you.

In the Woodstock era, music fans came to rock festivals to see their favorite bands, partake of the libidinous scene and maybe enjoy a roll in the mud.
But at this past weekend's Governors Ball in New York, a good many attendees seemed to have a different experience in mind — one that involved chair massages, concert "concierges" and air-conditioned restrooms.
The popular three-day festival, which drew roughly 135,000 revelers for a lineup that included Outkast, The Strokes, Jack White and Vampire Weekend, has increasingly taken to emphasizing the VIP side of rock 'n' roll life. Which is to say that patrons with extra cash — a one-day VIP ticket ran $215, or almost double the cost of a general-admission one — could buy into a more amenity-laden experience (replete with those chilly lavatories) and a guarantee of shorter waits and better sightlines.
For Jesse Overlin, a graphic designer who attended the festival with his girlfriend, the VIP price was indeed right. "I lived my rock 'n' roll days from 20 to 29. I'm ready to do the more relaxed thing," said Overlin, who turned 30 in the past year.
The Governors Ball isn't alone in promoting the idea of rocking out in style and comfort, however. If anything, it's part of a broader trend. Festivals have grown in size and stature and become an increasingly important part of the North American concert industry, generating a record $5.1 billion in ticket sales in 2013, and the VIP business appears to be growing in tandem with it.
At Coachella, the California festival that grossed a record-breaking $67 million in 2013, patrons can spend as much as $6,500 for a weekend admission package that includes a private, safari-style tent. By contrast, Lollapalooza, the Chicago festival, offers a relatively bargain-priced $3,600 "platinum" pass — no tents are included, but pass-holders do get gourmet catered fare, plenty of premium booze, a merchandise gift bag, "mini" spa treatments (who doesn't need a facial in the midst of rocking out?) and golf-cart transportation, among other perks.
Governors Ball, however, may have the most exclusive VIP offering. No, not that $215 ticket, but a $30,000 one, which includes all the standard VIP perks, plus a private cabana (good for 16 concertgoers, making the effective price $1,875 per person). Sure enough, the festival managed to sell out all but one of the six cabana packages this year. And for the obvious reason, Governors Ball organizers say. VIP seating "adds to the experience," said Jordan Wolowitz, one of the festival's producers.
Of course, the real reason there's been a boom in VIP seating, both at festivals and individual concerts, has a lot to do with the changing economics of the music business, industry experts explain. When record sales started tanking because of digitization, artists looked increasingly to touring as a way to make up the difference — and at VIP seating as a way to sweeten the pot. Essentially, the backstage meet-and-greet has become commoditized, all in the name of ensuring your favorite rocker gets to maintain his or her own VIP status, so to speak. "The last time I checked, they weren't just handing out houses in Malibu, so that money needs to come in from somewhere," says Bruce Duff, director of artist management at Knitting Factory Entertainment, a prominent music promotion firm.
In the case of festivals, the financial setup is a little different, but the same idea applies. The artists don't generally see a direct share of the ticket revenue. But they're asking for higher and higher fees (seven-figure sums are not unusual for the top acts) to play the most popular events. In turn, that leaves promoters looking for ways to generate more revenue. Hence, the $30,000 cabana.
Still, for the formula to work, there have to be fans ready to fork over for those cabanas (or for just a basic VIP ticket). And industry experts say they're there in abundance because today's concertgoer — particularly today's 30-and-up concertgoer — isn't always willing to put up with the hassles and inconveniences that once defined the festival experience. "As you get older, it's harder to sit down on the lawn," says Gary Bongiovanni, editor of Pollstar, a music trade journal. (At Governors Ball, promoters even came up with a way to replicate lawn seating in luxurious fashion: Think reclining VIP seats covered in artificial grass.)
Not that all this VIP pampering is going over well with every fan — or every band. At Governors Ball, some concertgoers argued that sitting in a secluded VIP section goes against the let-loose, communal spirit of rock 'n' roll. "You're here to say 'hi' to random people," said Dave McDonald, 25, a festivalgoer from Cheshire, Conn.
Some artists have also balked at premium packages, refusing to allow such arrangements at their shows. And while they can't always control what happens at a festival, they can still voice their opinion. Such was the case when the band Arcade Fire played this year's Coachella festival. Lead singer Win Butler assured those in the non-VIP section they weren't missing much.
"People are dreaming to get (in VIP), but it super sucks in there, so don't worry about it," he said.

Religious orders of women are known far and wide for two important apostolates, education and healing. Teaching and nursing sisters and brothers are legendary around the world. Take a moment to meet a Dominican sister who unexpectedly found herself the lone medical practitioner in a community of teachers.
Vanderbilt Medicine, the alumni publication of the Vanderbilt School of Medicine, this issue profiles an alumna, Dominican Sister Mary Diana Dreger, a Long Island, N.Y., native who entered Cornell University as a pre-med student. After taking a year off and falling in love with teaching, she became a high school math and science teacher. Then she had a serendipitous encounter in Virginia with some Dominican sisters from Nashville, Tenn. The next thing she knew she was in the novitiate in the motherhouse of the Dominicans' St. Cecilia Congregation.
A few years later, after Sister Diana took her final vows and was still teaching, the prioress general said, "I'm thinking of sending you to medical school."
"Teach. Pray. Heal." by Kathy Whitney is a great story of faith, commitment, trust and a bit of the unexpected from the hand of God and Mother Superior.

Willamette Week Online | May 26, 2005
Oregon is on track to road-test whether black-box technology now in cars could one day be used to slap a tax on mileage.
No other state taxes by miles driven. And Oregon's civil libertarians and environmentalists aren't wasting any time in throwing spikes on the road to stop the concept.
The American Civil Liberties Union warns that the technology developed by a research team at Oregon State University is ripe for surveillance abuse.
"This is the government insisting that you have technology that can track you," says Andrea Meyer, legislative director for ACLU of Oregon.
And enviros question doing away with the current system that taxes gasoline on a per-gallon basis now, benefiting fuel-efficient vehicles and punishing inefficient ones.
"Fuel economy has gotten worse, not better," says Chris Hagerbaumer, of the Oregon Environmental Council. "As long as cars are consuming large amounts of fuel, [the state] should be able to tax that."
Here's the rationale for considering a tax on mileage:
Thirty percent of the Oregon Department of Transportation's budget now comes from a 24-cents-per-gallon gas tax levied at the pump. But reduced auto travel because of skyrocketing gas prices means less tax money to repair state highways.
State Sen. Bruce Starr, R-Hillsboro, proposed a road user fee task force when he was chairman of the House Transportation Committee in the 2001 Legislature. Since then, the 12-member task force-assembled from state legislators, ODOT reps and others-has secured a $2.1 million, six-year grant from the Federal Highway Administration to study the idea. The state Highway Trust Fund has chipped in another $770,000.
This March, 280 volunteers in Portland will equip their vehicles with mileage-recording technology (a modem-sized device that can either be mounted on the dash or stored in the trunk).
Mileage tax would be assessed at fueling stations, as the on-board mileage counter communicates with mileage readers at the pump. For the pilot program, the gas tax will be deducted from the total sale and replaced with the mileage tax.
Task-force administrator Jim Whitty, an ODOT manager, knows a mileage tax would be a tough pitch. But he suspects policy makers in Salem might "start getting desperate" as highway funds continue to dwindle.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 30 million cars and trucks already are equipped with "black boxes" that store information about speed and seat-belt use for use in accident investigations.
In answer to ACLU concerns, Whitty says the software doesn't record or retain a vehicle's location. Instead, the software computes mileage traveled and distinguishes between in- and out-of-state commuting through a Global Positioning System device that receives location information but doesn't transmit.
"People immediately make assumptions that are not true,'' Whitty says. "They think we haven't thought it through, but we have. We'll honor the public's need for privacy protection in this technology.''
But the ACLU points out that the federal grant requires the state to test the ability to count separately miles traveled in congested areas during rush-hour time periods to perhaps charge higher rates for travel in those zones. The only way for such a charge to work, the ACLU's Meyer says, is to know "where and when people are driving.''
In answer to environmentalists' fears, program supporters say different rates could be created for different types of automobiles. But they also note that environmentally friendly hybrid cars take up just as much highway space and create just as much wear and tear as any other automobile.
The test program has already had several delays.
The start date was pushed back after setbacks in finalizing the contract between Oregon State University and the state Transportation Department. And the test location was moved from Eugene to Portland after administrators could not work out an agreement with Eugene gas-station owners.
Oil bigwigs who oversee the franchises weren't thrilled about letting the state tinker with their fueling software.
Brian Doherty, a lobbyist for the Western States Petroleum Association, wonders whether the task force is any more likely to come to a deal in Portland. "We have grave concerns about opening up our proprietary computer systems," Doherty says.
But if the program proves workable, a pitch to the Oregon Legislature could come within a few years.
Says task-force chairman Starr: "We're in the process of getting in front of the curve."
