Oregon Senate passes bill regulating police drones
Jun 10, 2013 | 1 Comment
By LAUREN GAMBINO
Of the Associated Press
SALEM — Following several lengthy public debates over the use of domestic drones in Oregon, the state Senate decided Monday to move forward with a plan that would bar law enforcement officers from using unmanned aerial vehicles to collect information except with a warrant or in emergency circumstances.
House Bill 2710 passed on a 23-5 vote.
Supporters said it was an important first step in regulating the new technology and protecting citizens' privacy.
"Drone technology shouldn't enable law enforcement with a tool to circumvent the warrant process," said Senator Chip Shields, a Portland Democrat and a sponsor of the bill. "That's why we need this drone legislation to provide citizens with modern safeguards for due process and privacy rights. As drones become more ubiquitous in the future, we will need to ensure that our legal protections keep pace with the use of this technology."
Sen. Jeff Kruse, a Roseburg Republican, emphasized in his floor speech that this proposal only laid the foundation.
"This will be an issue that the Legislative Assembly will be dealing with probably for the foreseeable future," said Kruse, who voted for the bill.
He said future legislation could address issues such as private drone use.
Some opponents said there are privacy and legal issues the bill fails to address.
"I believe that there remain internal fatal flaws," said Sen. Betsy Johnson, a Scappoose Democrat, who voted against the measure.
Johnson questioned the state's authority to impose certain regulations such as a minimum flight altitude for the drone.
The bill now goes back to the House, which passed the original version and must consider changes the Senate made.
A series of bills were introduced at the start of the session to address the issue of drone technology, and HB 2710 emerged as the comprise plan.
Several public debates on the bills drew passionate testimony on all sides of the debate. Civil liberties advocates sought reassurance that the so-called eyes in the skies wouldn't be used to spy on Oregonians. Model airplane hobbyists wanted to ensure their pastime was protected. And business owners argued strict regulation would stifle the state's burgeoning UAV industry.
In its most recent draft, the bill establishes specific circumstances in which law enforcement officers could use a drone.
For example, it authorizes the use of a drone for tracking someone fleeing a crime scene, surveying environmental disasters, assisting with search and rescue operations and reconstructing crime scenes.
The measure prohibits weapons on drones and pre-empts local government regulation of drones.
It establishes criminal penalties for violating personal property or trespassing with a drone. Model airplanes are excluded under the bill.
The legislation also regulates drones owned and operated by public bodies such as universities.
Under the bill, public bodies would have to register their drones with the Oregon Department of Aviation, and would be required to report how they used these drones starting in January 2016.

This Mini is set up to carry anything you may need. We started with a Thule Aeroblade system composed of the 460R Rapid Podium Towers, Fitkit 4020 and a pair of 47″ Aeroblade load bars. This system attaches to the factory installed flush mounted siderails. Using the Aeroblade bars we are getting the highest weight capacity and the most aerodynamic option.
To this base we added a couple of Rocky Mount Euro Pitchforks to carry the bikes. The Euro Pitchfork mounts flush to the Aeroblade load bars and come in a whole rainbow of colors to match your ride. The low profile design of this bike rack accommodates any style of bike you have. If you have Thru-Axles on your fork, Rocky Mounts has you covered with the Driveshaft fork adapter. Between the bike carriers we added the Yakima LoadWarrior to handle all the other gear you have to take along. The LoadWarrior also has a ton of accessory options to add to it as well. You can add the LoadWarrior Extension which will give you 18″ more space, cargo nets to hold everything down. If you need to attach your Axe, Shovel, Hi-Lift Jack or Spare Tire there are also brackets for that. Lights and locks are also another great add-on to the basket.
This Mini is all set to carry anything, anywhere you need to go. Stay tuned for more fun stuff from your favorite Denver Rack Attack.

Do you have any information about the location of the grave of Leonora Temple Hoyne in Rosehill Cemetery? I was there today and was told she was not in their database. Obviously she is buried there since you have taken a picture of the monument. Next time I go to Chicago I'd like to see the grave.
Thank you,

You posted a pick of the Cemetary Entrance and once a pic is posted another cannot be requested. Is there anyway you could seek my grandfathers grave out and post a pic? My mother, who no longer is able to travel, as would I would like to see. I remember visiting once on a childhood visit to area.

Charles T. Hotchkiss # 6627380
Thanks for posting!
One correction and a question.
Find A Grave Memorial# 6627380 for Charles T. Hotchkiss - you list his middle name as "Truman." In fact, it is "Trumbull." If you could correct, that'd be swell.
Question - buried beside Charles (presumably) is his wife, Frances E. (Dye) Hotchkiss. I have her death date as August 6, 1899. I believe she was born about 1839, but I haven't been able to find records yet to confirm that. Can you tell from other photos you might have taken of that site what the birth date for Francis is?
Thanks for whatever help you can provide.

Ariel Winter's mom 'openly mean' to teen on 'Modern Family' set
By Bill Zwecker November 13, 2012 8:09PM
FILE - In this Sept. 24, 2012 file photo, Ariel Winter attends the World Premiere of "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 1" at The Paley Center for Media, in Beverly Hills, Calif. Court records show a judge in Oct. 2012 stripped Winter's mother of custody temporarily amid allegations she has been physically and emotionally abusive to the 14-year-old "Modern Family" star.

A number of sources on the set of the hit ABC sitcom "Modern Family" tell this column there long has been concern about what one show staffer called "the horribly dysfunctional relationship" between teen star Ariel Winter and her mother, Chrystal Workman.
According to my sources, long before Workman was pulled into court and charged with both physical and emotional abuse of her daughter, who plays Alex Dunphy on "Modern Family," stars and staffers working behind the camera had expressed concern for Winter's well-being.
"I've seen many, many stage mothers and stage fathers," said a longtime Hollywood TV exec who works on "Modern Family."
"But never have I seen someone who was so openly mean to the young star who was her meal ticket. The entire cast was aware of how much Ariel has been going through," indicating those "aware" cast members included Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet and Sarah Hyland.
† In court documents obtained by TMZ, Workman was called "a terror on the set" of "Modern Family," but Workman reportedly told the judge hearing the guardianship case her 14-year-old daughter had threatened "to make her pay" after Workman attempted to end the actress' relationship with an 18-year-old. Winter is no longer seeing the teen but still considers him a friend.
Winter has been placed in the temporary guardianship of her sister, Shanelle Workman, who is petitioning for that guardianship to be made permanent. For the time being, Winter's mother has been ordered to have no contact with her.
CLASH CLEARED: The unnamed man who claimed Kevin Clash, the voice and puppeteer of beloved "Sesame Street" character Elmo, had engaged in an underage relationship with him retracted that allegation Tuesday. Andreozzi & Associates, the law firm that represented the accuser, released a statement that "he wants it to be known that his sexual relationship with Mr. Clash was an adult consensual relationship. He will have no further comment on the matter."
Clash, who had been placed on a leave of absence from Sesame Workshop, also released a statement expressing his relief "that this painful allegation has been put to rest," adding that he, too, would say no more.
While not indicating when Clash would return to work, Sesame Workshop said in a Tuesday statement, "We are pleased that this matter has been brought to a close, and we are happy that Kevin can move on from this unfortunate episode."
ROMANCE FILE: Friends of two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank are delighted the actress seems to be very happy in her relatively new relationship with wealthy French real estate executive Laurent Fleury — the new man in her life following the end of her romance this summer with agent John Campisi.
Currently, Swank is in Los Angeles where she's filming "You're Not Alone," playing the very challenging role of a woman afflicted with Lou Gehrig's disease.
JACKO'S USERS: Among the many revelations in respected journalist Randall Sullivan's "Untouchable" biography of Michael Jackson are some examples of how famous friends took advantage of the late music superstar.
While Jackson's family members were well-known for hitting Michael up for huge amounts of money, it likely will surprise many that acclaimed actor Marlon Brando demanded — and was paid — a $1 million fee just to tape a tribute video to Jackson for one of the big 2001 galas celebrating Michael's 30th anniversary in show biz.

Calling it "an excellent way to waste away an evening" and focusing on star Lindsay Lohan's long-documented troubles, Mahoney's is offering a menu that includes penne pasta with vodka sauce, smashed potatoes, tipsy tots and more. Oh yes — the reasonably priced $15 dinner buffet also includes two glasses of champagne.
After the movie starts at 8 p.m., commercial breaks will be replaced with Lohan parody clips.

Although Jean-Eric Vergne has managed just one point in five races, the Toro Rosso driver insists his season has not been all bad luck.
Last Sunday in Spain, Vergne has an interesting afternoon as he was hit by Nico Hulkenberg in the pits before a delaminating puncture put him out of the grand prix.
"What can I say about last weekend, it was a real mix of good and bad and unfortunately most of the bad stuff arrived in the race," he wrote in his Toro Rosso blog.
"What happened is there for anyone to see - being hit by Hulkenberg in the pit stop and having the problem with the tyre that eventually forced me to retire.
"Those are what I suppose you would call the headlines of the Spanish Grand Prix weekend and while I'm not happy about how things turned out, I'm not miserable either, because up until the race I think we had a really good weekend."
The Frenchman, though, believes there was at least one up side to his retirement and that's the fact that his tyre didn't give way as he was coming through a high-speed corner.
"It's been a tough few races for me but I wouldn't say it's a disaster. In fact there was some good luck mixed in with the bad. When the tyre let go it was on a small straight.
"If it had happened in Turn Nine or in a high-speed corner I think it could have been far worse. It might have been a big impact. So, some good fortune there."
Looking ahead of the next race on the calendar, Monaco, Vergne is hoping that Lady Luck shines down on him at the "really difficult" and "tricky" street circuit.
"Luck comes and goes. It is part of racing. You have good moments and bad and I don't want to focus on the bad.
"I want to arrive in Monaco fully motivated. Last year I think I said street circuits are not my favourite but then I had a pretty good weekend and ran as high as seventh at one point, so maybe I'll change my mind.
"However, I don't think I'll be going with a load more confidence this year. You have to approach this kind of race with great humility. You can't take anything for granted.
"It's a really difficult track, fantastic but tricky. There is no room for error and you need to be on it every single second. It's a really special place, so I'll arrive there thinking that I'm a very small guy in the middle of this amazing circuit with all its history and tradition."

Mayor Emanuel calls Cubs chief Ricketts about goat's head package: 'We'll be on it'
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter email@example.com April 11, 2013 4:32PM
Updated: May 13, 2013 6:40AM
Mayor Rahm Emanuel once famously sent a dead fish to a pollster who was late with results, but he's not about to joke about the severed goat's head delivered to Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts this week.
The mayor is taking the vicious package seriously. He showed no inclination to deliver one of his sarcastic one-liners at Ricketts' expense — especially not in the middle of marathon talks aimed at forging a $500 million agreement that would allow the Cubs to renovate Wrigley Field and the land around it.
"There's nothing else to say. It speaks for itself. It's wrong to do," Emanuel said.
"I did call Tom last night and said obviously, if the police need to do something, we'll be on it."
The goat's head — reminiscent of the bloody horse-head-in-the-bed scene in the movie classic, "The Godfather"— was delivered to Wrigley on Wednesday afternoon.
A man drove up to Gate K, handed a package to the security guard and asked that the box be delivered to Ricketts before getting back into his truck and driving away.
Ricketts never saw the box. Instead, it was opened by Cubs' security officials, who found a severed goat's head inside with a U.S. Department of Agriculture tag attached to the goat's ear.
The Cubs summoned the city's Commission on Animal Care, which sent an officer to take the head away.
"There was no note, so it's pretty hard to discern what it might represent. We don't know," Cubs spokesman Julian Green said Thursday, noting that police are still investigating.
In 1945, then-Billy Goat Tavern owner William Sianis tried to take his goat into a World Series game at Wrigley and was denied entry, prompting the bar owner to place the "billy goat curse" on the Cubs.
The Cubs have not been to a World Series since, building the legend of a "billy goat curse" that team officials have emphatically denied.
"We have one too many goat legends to deal with to entertain another fable," Green said.

Miller Responds to False Claim Regarding Santorum Language Significance
At the March 11, 2002, panel discussion on evolution in front of the Ohio Board of Education, the Discovery Institute's Stephen Meyer claimed that encouragement to teach alternatives to evolution was part of the recently signed No Child Left Behind Act. Brown University biologist Kenneth R. Miller responded by using his computer to search the text of the law for the word "evolution" - unsuccessfully. Now anti-evolutionists are claiming that there is such language in the law and that Miller was being intentionally misleading.
Sen. Kennedy Says Intelligent Design Not Science
In response to Senator Rick Santorum's March 14 op-ed piece in the Washington Times, which implied that Senator Edward Kennedy approved of teaching "intelligent design" in public school science classes, Kennedy explained in a March 21, 2002, letter to the Times that he does not; "intelligent design," he said, "is not a genuine scientific theory." The complete text of his letter:

Get In Line
All I wanted was a small container of the Deli's sliced potato salad but it took me a full 13 minutes for my turn at the head of the line-- A line that, when I arrived, only had one, count 'em one person ahead of me.

It sounds like the deli guy needs to get with the program and actually use his number system. Sometimes us rule followers get the short end of the stick. I tend to be a rule follower, but I am not very patient in lines and I'm not sure I would have been as polite as you were.

If the deli has a number system, they shouldn't say "who's next?" they should look at the number and say loudly #14 please - calling #14. It really is as simple as that.
I might have been as polite as you, because unless I have to pee really bad, that's the way I roll.

Drives me nuts when that happens!! I blame partly on the employee they should speak up! When we lived in Germany people ditch in line like it was art there...if you gave them a inch they'd hop by you. Then the person behind you would stand so close you could feel their breath...

What are the numbers for if they take people out of order??
This happens here soooo often and I tend to speak up when they do it to me! I know it makes me look bossy but I don´t care. This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. They say Paraguayan people are very "Tranquilo" (meaning easy going), but when they have to form a line, they have completely forgotten the meaning of this word!!

These are the kinds of things that irritate me, but you were being awfully polite. I would have said something to the deli guy. I tend to push myself in front of others if I think they are cutting the line, but nobody ever accused me of being shy.

You are a very patient person. I know that sometimes people who are called on their rude behavior react in strange and sometimes dangerous ways. I think that is why some people go through life not knowing how to put a bully in his or her place. I have been in your position and when I stopped the transaction and spoke up sternly but still politely, the person who was the bully tried to intimidate me. With my childhood and background, it takes a lot to intimidate me so I stood firm. I would insist the deli person take my order and call the numbers in order. I wouldn't have been surprised if my tires were slashed while we were still living in San Diego though. It didn't happen but it is such a shame that things have gotten to the place where cutting in lines and pushing people aside are every day occurrences.Some people think that just because they are in a hurry, they should be taken of first, no matter where they are. These people tend to always be in a hurry, not just occasionally. How does that make your feel? Invisible? Yep. That was one of the worst buttons to push pre-therapy for me. I count too. I am not invisible. You count too. You are not invisible.

You are MORE than patient. Maybe you could start taking a cane with you and bopping it over some heads. This is crazy -- were you wearing a sign on your back that said, "Kick me"?? NO! This is one of my peeves...rude people, clueless people or more importantly, assholes who know what they are doing is rude and do it anyway.
I hope the salad was yummy.

- Jo said...
Oh, gosh, you're more patient than I am. I would have raised a stink. I figure if they're able to be there at all, they can wait their turn. There is no excuse for rudeness, but moreover, the deli person should have said, "Excuse me, this woman has been waiting to be served, so please take your turn.." That's why God created supervisors. :-)

I always love it when you wait for a very long time and a cashier walks up and says I'll take the next person in line...the person behind you always thinks they are next??? People can be so rude!

so very annoying when that happens! Guess you have to be loud and pushy to get noticed, who knows?

I'm always astounded by the sense of entitlement some people have, like no one else's time or needs are of any importance whatsoever. I agree with the previous comments that the deli person should have enforced the numbers system and never asked "Who's next?" I found myself sharing your chagrin and admiring your patience! I just got back from the grocery store where one checkout line was open. A woman with a huge basket overflowing with stuff barged in at a dead run to scoot in front of me as I approached the checkout with a handheld basket with six items. I was floored as, if I have a large order, I always offer someone behind me with a few items the chance to go first. Not this lady. Another checker appeared, rolling her eyes, and offered to help me through the self-check stand. So thoughtless and thoughtful people are everywhere!

I posted today about anger, but I will be the first to admit that I do not like standing in line and I don't like people cutting in front of me....The question is...do we allow ourselves to become rude like others and push them out of the way, or do we try to remain patient and wait??

Since they don't use their own number system I would have left. Before leaving a big announcement to the idiot behind the counter about taking your business to a place that uses system to wait on customers would have been given.
I don't like it when people in the drive thru are given priority over the people that come inside.

I do not permit people to do that to me. I have had to be assertive at times when confronted (rarely) with a line cutter. But never vulgar, just firm. You can take the girl out of Jersey but you can't take Jersey out of the girl!

Same thing happens to MY WIFE, a lot. She is small in stature (5' 1") and sometimes feels she is not seen, before taller people, by those behind a tall counter. In any case, I keep assuring her that the folks who "cut" will get their just desserts someday. It all comes back to either pay off or do justice. It's a good thought to keep in mind at such times :-)

Today is "other people make me angry" day with me too. The lack of consideration of others will make me angry faster than any other human trait. It's "all about me all the time" for some people.

You are definitely nice, JJ because I think I would've cleared my throat loudly and then said to the deli man, "If you aren't going by the number system then I've been first before the last 6 people butted in front of me." That's plain rude!

I totally get what you are saying. I think in someways we've become an "it's all about me" society and have little regard for the other person. It's so sad that people do this and so unbelievable that an elderly person would act like that as you know they were raised to be polite, or so I thought. Hang in there and next time I guess you'll have to be pushy, which is easier said than done. The Deli is at fault as well though, they need to call the number and not whose next. Perhaps talk to the store manager. Couldn't hurt. Hugs!!

Review: 2009 Nissan Murano
by Michael Harley (RSS feed) on Aug 28th, 2008 at 11:58AM
It just so happens that the all-new 2009 Nissan Murano is one of those nondescript mid-size crossover utility vehicles that may blend into the crowd. Its styling is certainly modern, if not overly exciting. The cabin is accommodating, if not excessively spacious. The handling is inspiring, if not unduly sporty. The engine is strong, and even reasonably efficient. How would this perfectly acceptable, yet hardly over-achieving CUV handle five passengers and full luggage on a 1,000-plus mile road trip across the Southwestern desert? Read on to find out. %Gallery-30448% ... Read More

Hey everyone. I started having abdominal pains yesterday that kept getting worse and worse. Eventually the pain was unbearable and DH took me to the ER. I am now in the hospital, enjoying a morphine drip, and will probably be here a few days. I would appreciate your prayers.

Peregrines on the Clock Tower
June 2013
Peregrines on City Hall clock tower 2013
[image: ]
Young male Peregrine Falcon ringed on 6 June
[image: ]
Young male Peregrine Falcon - not ringed on June 7!
June 7 Update
Eventful couple of days. Received a call yesterday that a young Peregrine was on the ground near City Hall. Directions weren't brilliant so had to go hunting around and finally found a young male hunkered down at the edge of one of the footpaths in Alexandra Gardens, under some overhanging vegetation. Amazingly you could walk past within a couple of feet and it didn't move. He was duly picked up and taken back to the roof of City Hall at the base of the tower where he was fitted with a BTO ring and a colour-ring Blue FH, the first photo is of him looking lass than happy with his experience but hopefully it will keep him out of trouble until he can fly strongly enough to gain height.
Then this morning I had another call from the RSPB to say that a young Peregrine was on a statue in King Edward VII Avenue. I met up with Phil Pinder and there was the bird sat on the statue (second photo). This one was unringed so we knew it was a different bird to yesterday, I tried to catch it so it could be ringed but wasn't quite quick enough and it flew off strongly. Which is a good thing as it suggests it should survive. Apparently it had been seen feeding earlier so it's good to know that the parents are feeding them even quite some way from the tower.
No sign of the young female today though.
Peregrines on the City Hall Clock Tower 2013
June 6 Update
All three youngsters are practically fully grown now and one of the males has even left the nest ledge. He was seen on a roof above the west entrance to City Hall yesterday morning where he will be safe enough.
The other two, a male and a female, could be seen wing flapping and getting themselves ready for their first flight. It won't be long before they're out and about.
So far, so good, although the next two or three days are still perilous for the youngsters as they don't have the strength to get back to the higher ledges in the first few days after their first flight. Fingers crossed that all three will be safe and fledge this year.
