Who are we? What have we become? How do we speak now? In what ways do we learn news and find out information?
"John just got engaged to Sarah," read my Facebook News Feed. "Jessica married Sam." I didn't even know they were still dating, I thought to myself.
Snippets I tell you, snippets of stories of substance of full rhythmic beats all around us each and every day.
A masterful politician once told an audience that we should live our lives on a journey destined for the words on our tombstones. I thought this was sound advice: to live in search of those one or two words that we can have engraved in memory of us: "loving," "brave," "beloved."
But in the present, we are spinning so fast in a world of constant news aggregation; we are living in a world where 140 characters or less on Twitter actually means something to some people and where others actually stop for ten or twenty seconds to type into their blackberries or iPhones short phrases on Facebook applications about where they are or what they are doing. These are the rhythms of the present, not what might be sketched in stone in our future.
We are each our own egomaniacs. And at the same time, we are each consumed with everyone else - thus creating a diametrically opposed structure of total delusion based upon absolute nothingness, or absolutely everything, depending on who we are and how much importance we place on what we type and what we read.
Yet, in a way, each of us is making our own history and the Internet is the legacy that we leave behind: it is our present but also composes the memory stones for our future. Eventually, it will become the study for future anthropologists when we are all gone. And what will these anthropologists think?
Old engravings were about necessity: for example, about protecting family and interpersonal relationships. Ours? They are about us and Justin Bieber and Lindsay Lohan. And John and Sarah getting engaged. And Jessica marrying Sam. And, of course, other online friends and family. I guess some of the basics are still there.
So we are a generation of technologically savvy, obsessively status updating, Facebook and/or Twitter using members of the online community and we are glued to our phones and PDAs to different degrees along the spectrum. Yet, does that mean we cannot have normal conversations and interpersonal interactions? No.
The largest misconception about Generation Y is that technology is a replacement for interpersonal dialogue. Sure, for some, maybe it is. However, for these select few, and I hate to say it, they likely aren't the ones who are out interacting in the world in great numbers anyway. Instead, I firmly believe that all of the aforementioned technological tools have only added to what Gen Y knows; what we learn; how we interact; how we find out information; and who we are. Cynics are not going anywhere at this point, but this technology is also here to stay, is clearly progressing and becoming more ever-present, and Gen Y is still managing to talk to one another. Texting, Twitter, and Facebook have not become substitutes for interpersonal dialogue but instead are only adding to existing routines.
In fact, if it weren't for the Internet, phones, PDAs, and all of these updates, I can't imagine what half of us would be talking about today.
So, who reading this is going to Jessica and Sam's wedding? Never mind; I really have to check my Facebook News Feed anyway. And then I will post the news up on Twitter.

One lane is open, but if you've been down here as a pedestrian you know it is not easy traveling. If you were here in a car, looking for street parking, that's even worse.
Business owners say the customers aren't coming. At 621, sales are down 50 percent. They stopped serving lunch and are offering a half off construction special from 4-7 on weekdays. It's the same story at downtown icon Clara's. They are lucky in that they have a parking lot, but they are still concerned their customers don't know they are open.
"Downtown businesses are open, we all are," says manager Cindy Jubeck, but she says, they are all feeling the pinch.

Magic Johnson and Anderson Cooper, two men that have never nailed a 360-degree slam dunk (Getty Images)
In 2010, prior to Phil Jackson's final season with the Los Angeles Lakers, former Lakers star, interim coach, and part-owner Magic Johnson sold his shares in the legendary franchise. The move allowed Johnson to potentially take controlling interest in running another NBA team, while acting as the go-to man for key basketball personnel duties, a job he'd long claimed to have sought.
Instead of going that route, though, Johnson glommed onto the ABC/ESPN NBA studio show set, before quitting that gig in October 2013 to focus on his part-ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers. All along the way, as the Lakers went from champions in 2010 to second-round embarrassments in 2011 to second- and first-round flameouts in the next two seasons, Johnson never held back on his criticism of the team.
Now, with seemingly every Laker walking with a limp and the team battling the Utah Jazz to avoid the worst record in the Western Conference, Johnson is tearing into the team's part-owner and de facto personnel chief, Jim Buss. From the Los Angeles Times:
Technically, general manager Mitch Kupchak is in charge of the Lakers, and the public face of the franchise – doling out interviews and acting as the lead man at the podium when moves are announced. Buss' role in making personnel decisions isn't as clearly defined, and it's very much possible that he signs off on the bigger moves, while Kupchak takes on the less-splashy hires.
Mitch has been in charge since West stepped down after the Lakers won their first championship with Jackson in 2000, and though he is to be credited for sound timing in dealing for Pau Gasol and bringing back Derek Fisher for the 2007-08 season, Kupchak's tinkering with the team around the superstar core has been called into question dating back to his first season with Los Angeles.
Besides the Gasol deal, the best move the Lakers have made during the Kupchak (who studied under West for years) era was the drafting of Andrew Bynum in 2005. That move was mostly spearheaded by Jim Buss, and allowed him some basketball capital to increase his involvement with the team in the years that followed. Reportedly, it was Buss and his father – late Lakers owner Dr. Jerry Buss – that wanted Jackson out in 2011, and passed on re-hiring Jackson in the fall of 2012 – much to the surprise and bewilderment of both Jackson and his fiancée, Jim's sister Jeanie Buss.
In his comments, Magic leaned heavily on the star ideal, pointing out that players would want to work for a legend like West, referencing Pat Riley's fine work as Miami Heat boss as something that influenced "LeBron to buy in."
Magic is not exactly at the top of his game, here.
LeBron James bought into the Miami Heat because Riley was smart enough to clear the books save for one salary in the summer of 2010, allowing the Heat to sign three All-Stars (that already liked hanging out with each other) to near-maximum deals, a move no other team could pull off during that summer.
West? It wasn't his presence that influenced Andre Iguodala to decline offers from other teams and sign with West's newest team, the Golden State Warriors. No, it was the behind-the-scenes machinations of Golden State's very good GM Bob Myers that cleared enough cap space in a three-way sign-and-trade that secured Dre.
And West's top triumph, the 1996 summer that netted both Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, was set into action with a series of ahead-of-its-time salary clearing maneuvers (dumping role players onto the Vancouver Grizzlies for second-round picks) and trading starting centers (making starting salaries) for a high schooler in Bryant during an era that still saw most teams looking at preps-to-pros prospects with a dubious eye.
Riley and West created their own fortune with shrewd executive moves. They didn't woo superstars by flashing championship rings or listing off career achievements. They took huge risks in clearing roster and salary space, and pounced.
While we're not exactly Kupchak's biggest fans – he seemed to continually bring in players that seemed like the exact worst fit for Jackson's triangle offense, and his work in the years prior to the Gasol trade was a little sketchy – one can't go over the top in blaming him for the Lakers' current woes. And while we're incredibly dubious about Buss as an executive – he nailed the Bynum selection, but too often he lets petty personality issues get in the way of making the sound basketball move – it's not his fault that Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash, amongst scores of other Lakers, are injured.
Jim Buss may ruin these Lakers yet, but not for the reasons Magic Johnson listed.

Assembly panel fails to act on bills guarding against E. coli
SACRAMENTO – Pressure from the farm industry on Wednesday derailed a package of bills designed to protect consumers against the kind of contamination in leafy vegetables that led to a nationwide health scare last year.
The three bills by Sen. Dean Florez, D-Shafter, had earlier passed the Senate but were held up in the Assembly Agriculture Committee, where one was rejected and the other two did not come to a vote.
Florez denounced the committee's inaction and said failing to approve strict standards to regulate spinach and lettuce growers sends a message that lawmakers are "willing to wait for another death, another injury, another sickness."
An E. coli outbreak linked to California spinach last fall led to the deaths of three people and sickened about 200 others nationwide.
Florez's comments sparked an angry response from committee Chairwoman Nicole Parra, D-Hanford.
"Senator, let me warn you that is not the message that this committee is sending..." she said. "Don't blame the members of this committee, Senator. Blame me if you have an issue."
After the hearing, Florez called the committee members cowards for failing to bring two of the bills to a vote. Parra responded that she'd been called worse.
The animosity illustrated the passions that arose after last year's bacterial outbreak of an E. coli strain typically found in cattle or wild pig feces. The resulting scare temporarily shut down the Salinas Valley's lucrative spinach industry, idling hundreds of workers.
Health investigators eventually traced the contamination to the fields of a grower in San Benito County. In the months afterward, growers and processors created a voluntary system that increased monitoring and implemented safeguards designed to prevent future contamination.
Florez said a voluntary industry program was insufficient, in part because farmers had failed to adequately regulate themselves in the past.
One of his bills would have called for quality standards for irrigation water, prohibited untreated manure from being used as fertilizer and banned portable toilets from farm fields.
Another would have authorized the California Department of Public Health to establish an inspection program for leafy vegetables and adopt recall procedures for contaminated produce, while a third, which the committee rejected, would have made it easier for officials to trace contaminated produce.
Farm groups argued the voluntary agreement between growers made state regulations unnecessary. It is more flexible and will allow the industry to adjust more quickly to new technology and scientific information, said Erin Field, of the Western Growers Association, which represents the California and Arizona produce industries.
The industry so far has committed $3.8 million to inspect farms, said Noelle Cremers, of the California Farm Bureau Federation.
Assemblywoman Cathleen Galgiani, D-Tracy, credited the industry for "stepping forward" and urged lawmakers to give their agreement a chance.
Allowing the bills to sit in committee rather than voting them down had a "lot of value," said Assemblyman Dave Jones, D-Sacramento. Because the bills can be considered in the future, the move will ensure the industry lives up to its commitments, he said.
E. coli infections can be contracted by eating undercooked meat, as well as sprouts, lettuce or spinach that have been contaminated by manure. Most strains of the bacteria are harmless, but one can cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps and even lead to kidney failure.

Carbon Footprint
When CLevel introduced the terms Carbon Footprint and Carbon Balanced in 2001, it was to offer 'open source' terms to meet the challenge of changing business metrics and language. Carbon Footprint is now clearly well established globally, taken up by consultants, businesses and people everywhere. Carbon Balancing is also widely understood and used.
Working out your footprint is one part of being balanced as a business. It starts with doing the footprint, then (holistic) carbon offsets enable immediate action, carbon reduction plans are set and finally insetting projects can be planned.
At the beginning of Carbon Balancing, carbon offsets can often start off high, and then reduce each year as the twin horns of culture change and low carbon technology squeeze the carbon footprint down. Offsetting (and insetting with supply chain partners and communities) is needed for 'hard to treat' CO2 emissions.
Calculate Your Carbon Footprint
We have a specific package on offer to help micro business and start ups.
For SME's and bigger organisations, we normally calculate your footprint for you and spend time helping you set up your own simple system to keep track of your footprint each year. Just get in touch here to find out how we are often able to provide this to you for free.
For very large and complex businesses, with our partners Best Foot Forward, we're happy to offer free access to their leading Carbon Calculator – Footprint Reporter software.
Our carbon footprint tools and calculations all follow the global Greenhouse Gas Protocol standard as recommended by the Carbon Disclosure Project.
Get in touch with us now to get started on your carbon footprint

I am sure this topic has been beaten to death on some corners of this forum, but each situation is unique right?
I am contemplating buying a bike here in Sydney, Australia, before I undertake a 6 month bike tour starting in London in April this year.
I have a bike I want and for which I have been quoted a reasonable price.
My only reservations are taking the bike on an airline to the UK.
I am seeking advice relating to any experiences on a similar long haul flights with a touring bike. At present I will either be flying Qantas, Etihad, Emirate or Malaysia airlines. Weight will not be an issue, but oversize dimensions for the bike packed most likely will. Qantas appears to be fairly generous, offering dimensions of Length: 140cm (55in)
Width: 30cm (12in) Height: 80cm (32in). Other airlines, not so much, appearing to offer no more than 45cm x 72cm x 90cm, for which my bike will definitely exceed.
Have tried to query the airlines about associated costs with dimensions exceeding these sizes, but I have effectively been ignored.
Anyone have experiences with these airlines? Anyone have an understanding on general ball park figures for oversize fees on similar long haul flights? Recommendations for packing the bike? Any advice is helpful.

Jack Bruce
0 Shouts - 258,561 Scrobbles
Jack Bruce (born John Symon Asher Bruce on 14 May 1943 in Bishopbriggs, Lanarkshire, Scotland; died 25 October 2014 in Suffolk, England) was a Scottish musician and composer, known as a founder member of the seminal British psychedelic rock power trio, Cream, in the mid-to-late 1960s.Read More...
Widely considered to be one of the greatest bass players of all time, Bruce maintained a solo career that spanned several decades, and also played in several musical groups. Known as a vocalist and bass guitarist, Bruce was also a songwriter. Though trained as a classical cellist, and while he considered himself a jazz musician, much of his catalogue of compositions and recordings tended toward blues and rock and roll.
Beginning in 1962, Bruce started as double bass player with Graham Bond in the Graham Bond Organisation, which played a mixture of jazz, blues, and R&B. It was at this time that he met drummer Ginger Baker. After stints with John Mayall and Manfred Mann, he formed Cream with Baker and guitarist Eric Clapton. Cream had numerous hits during its existence, most of them written by Bruce with lyricist Pete Brown.
In the years since Cream's breakup in 1968, Bruce has released a number of solo albums, mostly in a more experimental vein, and worked with a wide variety of musicians in many genres. The list includes Robin Trower, Tony Williams, John McLaughlin, Carla Bley, Allan Holdsworth, Ringo Starr and Frank Zappa. He was also a member of the band West, Bruce and Laing.
In 1994 he had an album under the band name BBM (Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker and Gary Moore) called Around the Next Dream.
Bruce released a new studio album Silver Rails in March 2014 on the Esoteric Antenna, his first solo studio album in over a decade. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.

Tea Party's bigotry is a birthmark, not a tattoo
The very public implosion of the Republican base into a tribe of frothing-at-the-mouth racist, homophobic militants has been so extensively documented that it has inspired former Conservative bloggers like John Cole and Andrew Sullivan to renounce and/or heavily modify their political ideologies.
Through it all, the claim from party leadership and beltway insiders has been that the Republican Party has newly fractured into two extremist sects: the Neo-Conservatives, hellbent on world domination, and the Tea Party militants, who refuse to recognize a Democratic and/or black president, and who truly believe feminists, blacks, gays, Hispanics, the poor, and the unions (the dangerous — yet strangely amorphous — "Them" Glenn Beck always whips out when a specific enemy isn't readily available) are encircling the suburbs.
The Tea Party base has been described as a new phenomenon — a surprising turn of events that no one could have ever, ever predicted. Most recently, a spokesman for Astroturf Inc. FreedomWorks, quoted his boss, Dick Armey:
Regardless of who yelled what, the reports themselves could be problematic for the tea party movement, said Adam Brandon, a spokesman for FreedomWorks, the small government group that helped organize tea partiers congressional office visits last week.
"Tattoos last forever," said Brandon, quoting his boss, FreedomWorks chairman and former House Republican Leader Dick Armey. "If the movement gets tattooed as at all sympathetic to those (racist and homophobic) views, I won't want to be involved in it anymore. It's very distracting not only to our side but also to the debate and the country."
Brandon says this as though the GOP isn't already inextricably linked to racist, homophobic views, and that hasn't been the party's official strategy for around three decades. And yet, Cole observes, it appears Dr. Frankenstein regrets creating his Monster.
But the strategy of praying on the ignorance of white people is really nothing new. A Cole commenter, JGabriel put it best when they wrote, "To anyone familiar the Southern Strategy, winger bigotry is not a tattoo – it's a birthmark."
This strategy is 30-years-old, and the "enemies" are the same: the left, the anti-war protesters, hippies, feminists, and blacks, with the relatively new additions of Hispanics and teh gayz.
Here is Nixon's political strategist, Kevin Phillips, explaining the strategy to the New York Times in 1970. But really, with the antiquated term "Negro" swapped out for something less glaringly racist, this is almost identical to the Republican strategy today.
From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that… but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.
Right. Make the white ignoramuses fear The Black Man, and they'll come running to the Republicans. Blame the blacks, or the gays, or the immigrants for their lost jobs (instead of greedy corporations that get cheaper labor overseas,) and they'll cross party lines that much faster.
The GOP's strategy is exactly the same, but the bigotry is worse now because the wealth disparity has widened and America has its first black president. Also, there are more cameras available, and citizen journalists are cataloguing Teabagger ignorance and racism whereas some of these comments would have probably never entered the mainstream press a decade ago.
In times of economic crisis, it's smart politics to run on populist issues like immigration, gay marriage, and abortion. It's not ethical, or moral, but it definitely riles up the base. And this strategy isn't uniquely American. A similar thing just happened in the UK, which partially explains why the unapologetically racist BNP picked up a couple Parliament seats.
Tough economic times means white southerners are more afraid than ever. They're losing their jobs, their homes, and they feel outnumbered by people who don't look, or act, like them.
Republicans know this, and given that they've managed to lose majority control of every other constituent demographic (even Big Business now that Corporate Democrats sold out the unions,) they need those terrified voters.
The only thing that's changed in the GOP's world since 1970 is that they've learned to disguise the bigotry. Leaders like Sarah Palin talk about "the real America" as a way to let her scared, white, elderly base know that she won't let those bad ole' blacks and feminists dictate policy.
Less savvy Republicans, say Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck aren't politicians and so they don't have to behave as centrists. As a result, they let their true ignorant, bigot colors show on a daily basis. Their niche is the White Disenfranchised Male, and their product is fear. The problem is, their audience develops a resistance to the same hysterical accusations week after week after week…and so the Fear Peddlers, Limbaugh and Beck, have to constantly increase the dosage of hysteria.
And when something bad happens, ranging from someone shouting "nigger" at John Lewis to shooting some of their fellow citizens, the right-wingers claim they have no idea where this hate and paranoia came from.
It's pretty pathetic and transparent. They should at least have the courage to stand by the GOP strategy once it blows up in their faces.

I'm not sure I know exactly what the Tea Party movement is all about. I see demonstrations covered on TV , and I saw Sarah Palin address a large group of Tea Party members. I think I know what Palin stands for after listening to her during the last presidential campaign, but before I generalized to the entire movement, I decided to do my own research. So, in my effort to learn more, I came across this site on the net and decided to read the article and comments. Two comments that stood out are below:
" you think we are all scared uneducated little white folk hating everything that doesn't look like us. well your about as ignorant as i would expect an "open minded" liberal to be."
"Democrats can't play fair, they are downright nasty to black, hispanic, jewish, female and gay conservatives and they seem to have a vehement disregard for all things Christian in nature: "
This is namecalling at its best. One party (party A) generalizes about the other (party B)which generates the response ……you'd better look into what we really stand for before you call us such and such, because we really are reasonable people who care about the country and we are all really good Americans. THEN THE PROBLEM BEGINS. Inevitably, party B, who in an attempt to defend their positions, writes comments (I refer back to quotes above) in their "responses to unfairness", by being equally assinine. How is someone to be taken seriously if they are stupidly caught in the same name calling battle that they are fighting? It negates all the positive things that they might have said previously.
How then is one to learn about the Tea Party movement without getting this reactionary backlash? Is it fair to judge by listening to people at the rallies? Is it fair to judge by reading their posters and banners? Is it fair to read what is said by democrats and republicans about the Tea Party movement? Is it only a financial movement concerned with fiscal issues, as some comments on this page have said? Or is it something more conservative and right wing because of concerns about constitutionality of health care legislation?
Whichever the concern, or concerns, I would think that the Tea Party members, of all people, would see that our government, indeed the Constitution, is not locked into a time capsule that froze in 1789. The Constitution was written so that it could be amended and changed with the times, to fit the needs of the people of the US. Obama was elected and everyone knew of his health care agenda. No one can say it wasn't a much debated issue. Isn't it a mandate from the public then to reform health care, as was just done in Congress? How then is a public mandate considered unconstitutional?… A question only for the judicial system. Maybe the Constutution needs to be amended?… Surely the Tea Party, whose name evokes the thought of governmental change, can't object to that.
[...] begets bigotry. I've written extensively about the rise of right-wing extremism in the U.S., as well as in Europe. Just as the recession in America has inspired hatred against [...]

Jordan's First Party Vote Pits Tribes against Leftists Opposition Parties Hope to Form a Model for Arab Democratization
Lamis Andoni,, The Christian Science Monitor
IN the center of a huge, white tent stood a tall man dressed in an elegant black and white Bedouin costume trimmed with gold thread. Hundreds of men streamed into the tent while bitter Arab coffee made the rounds.
Abdel Hadi al-Majali, a Western-educated engineer, had returned to his tribal base to win support for his candidacy in Jordan's multiparty parliamentary elections, which are being held today. But he avoided discussing politics with his supporters. "After all, His Majesty King Hussein decides the policies of the country," Mr. Majali said.
Not far away, in the center of the old city, a veteran leftist activist named Issa Mdanat also contested the elections, espousing a populist message. "The people have been able to attain many of their rights, but we have a long way to go to ensure wider political participation and equal rights," he told his supporters.
In the campaign for Jordan's first democratic elections, Majali and Mr. Mdanat represent the old and new political forces, those who think the four-year democratization process has gone too far and those who think it has not gone far enough.
But the election has also become a standoff between powerful tribes and the newly legalized left-wing opposition parties.
Elite candidates like Majali, a former public security chief and ambassador to Washington, have fallen back on tribal and family structures for support. Populists such as Mdanat, who spent 12 years in prison for opposing government policies, are trying to boost the role of opposition parties in government decisionmaking.
King Hussein, who apparently worried that a parliament dominated by radical right-wing and leftist opposition parties could obstruct the peace process with Israel, introduced a "one person, one vote" electoral system that effectively prevents party alliances.
"It was a clear message to the tribes to unite and reassert their influence," says one Western diplomat. The tribes have proved divided, but King Hussein's tactic is expected to split the radical Islamic and leftist votes.
King Hussein started opening the political process in 1989 after a week of intense riots in this and other southern cities against economic policies engineered by the International Monetary Fund.
The country's first general elections four years ago gave a stunning victory to the right-wing, Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, which won one-third of the parliament. Once a reliable ally of King Hussein, and consequently the only group that was tolerated for three decades, the Islamists have become more radical, and King Hussein felt he could no longer rely on them as a useful balance against the leftist and pan-Arab nationalists. …


text: HomeHemanshuHappy Birthday to the Piglet Nish 12/19 Hemanshu, Jahnavi 9 1240 December 14th was the Piglet's birthday. We never planned anything major (have yet to even get him a present, poor thing). I was (still am) drowning in work and just could not summon up enough enthusiasm to throw a big shindig. I did want to do something for him though, so I called a handful of tiny tots from our apartment complex who know him and served up some cake and snacks. At the last minute, I decided to do some decorations and play some music, and voila it was a party! We all had such a great time – including the piglet. I mean most babies cry at their first birthday parties right? It's pretty much de rigeur. Well, there was not so much as a wah from the piglet. He didn't understand what was going on, and why there was this whole tamasha with strangers kissing him, and so much noise, and balloons, and cake, and everything but he didn't let it throw him one little bit. That's my little piglet for you – cool and composed. Here are some pics from the party: Last minute decorations New buddies With his aunt Cake cutting Feast!!! It turned out to be such a lovely time thanks to the snubnose's enthusiasm (I swear she is totally growing to be a total party girl), and the piglet's quiet cheerfulness.

Montpelier, Vt. - Carpooling, higher fuel economy, hybrids and electric cars may be good for the environment, but they're bad for government transportation funding, which relies on gasoline and diesel taxes to help pay for the building and upkeep of roads and bridges.
Now some states, including Vermont, are mapping out a possible alternative: taxing drivers not based on how much fuel is burned but how far each vehicle travels.
"I think there's general agreement that we eventually have to get to that if we're going to replace lost gasoline tax revenue," said Costa Pappis, a senior planner with the Vermont Agency of Transportation.
It's easy to see why officials are worried: Vermont expected to raise about $232 million for its transportation fund in the current fiscal year, with about a quarter of it coming from the gasoline tax of about 20 cents a gallon.
But those revenue collections have been shy of their target so far this year, just as they have been for the six years before. Vermont gas stations sold slightly more than 361 million gallons in 2006, their historic peak. By 2011, that figure was down to just shy of 330 million.
It's the same story in many other states.
Oregon is the farthest along in trying to address the problem with a "vehicle miles traveled" tax. Legislation there would impose such a tax on cars of 2015 model year or later that get 55 mpg or better.
If that sounds like a high number, it may not for long. New fuel economy standards agreed to by the government and automakers last year say that by 2025, cars will average 54.5 mpg.
Vermont Transportation Secretary Brian Searles said calculating how much of a VMT tax is owed would be done through the global positioning system devices that are expected to be standard equipment in cars later this decade.
"It's a GPS device that's capable of tracking location, time," he said, adding that he was aware that might raise privacy concerns.
It did with Allen Gilbert, executive director of the Vermont chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
"I'm sure there's going to be a big public outcry when people hear about this," he said.
But Adrian Moore, who has studied VMT tax implementation as vice president with the California-based Reason Foundation, said fears of Big Brother are overblown. He said a range of technologies are being tested in pilot studies, including one device that records miles traveled since a fill-up and then communicates with the gas pump on the next fill-up how much tax is owed.
If a GPS device can tell a driver when to take a left, it can tell what road the car is traveling on, and eventually could determine how much of the tax is owed to a city, a county or a state, depending on whether the motorist was using a city street, a county road or a state highway, Moore said.

How to set up and use keyholes bits
Pages in this Story:
- • Table-rout for precise slots
- • Now rout the slots
Now rout the slots
Now rout the slots
With the router running at maximum speed, place the workpiece above the bit and against the fence with the start line and bit centerline aligned. Gripping it tightly, slowly pivot the project down onto the bit, as shown top right. Once the project rests on the tabletop, slide it to rout the slot, stopping when the stop line reaches the bit centerline (center right). Without moving the project, use one hand to shut off the router. Wait for the bit to stop spinning before backing the board off the bit. Failure to do so could damage the slot and project. Repeat for the remaining slots.

A forensic anthropologist examined remains Sunday in the aftermath of Wednesday's fire and shootout in Washougal.
Dr. Kathy Taylor, a Ph.D. with the King County Medical Examiner's Office, was working in the Clark County Medical Examiner's Office in downtown Vancouver, said Clark County sheriff's Sgt. Kevin Allais, with the major crimes team.
"She examined the remains," Allais said, declining to be more specific when asked if the remains were from more than one person.
Allais said investigators will meet at 10 a.m. Monday morning with Washougal police.
"It's an active investigation and it's progressing," Allais said Sunday afternoon.
Deputies said Saturday the Washougal house fire and gunfire-filled standoff has been ruled a murder-suicide and that homeowner and suspect Steven Stanbary is believed dead.
Stanbary's wife, Leona Bolton Stanbary, and her twin sister, Mona Daugherty, also lived at the home at 3275 F Place. Family members have said on Facebook that all three are presumed dead.
The Clark County Sheriff's Office has said heavily burned remains of at least two people have not been positively identified.
"Based upon the totality of information known to detectives at this time, investigators believe strongly that Steve Stanbary is the suspect and that his remains have likely been recovered," the sheriff's office said in a press release.
On Sunday, the lot appeared like a scene from an end-of-the world movie. Two Washougal police officers stood like sentries in front of the remains of the rust-red ranch-style house that was built in 1972.
"We've got someone stationed here 24 hours a day," said Officer Jon Cotton, who has been with the Washougal force for 21 years. "We're going to keep perimeter security for several more days."
Neighbors' thoughts
Neighbor Ben Schwartzkopf wandered a half-dozen houses down F Place to take his first look at the place.
"The guy seemed all right to me, and then you find out all these things," Schwartzkopf said.
Stanbary, a 47-year-old known to be violent and heavily armed, had been under investigation for multiple sex crimes. He was supposed to turn himself in to police the day after the fire and standoff.
Police have not released details about the sex crime investigation against Stanbary.
Jerry and Myrtle Anderson strolled by Sunday afternoon. Their home is just three houses away.
Jerry Anderson said that when the blaze and shooting started, he wanted to leave his house. Then he received a call from police.
"They said stay right in your house. Stay away from the windows and doors," Jerry Anderson said. The couple have lived in the house for 32 years.
"As far as I know, he was a quiet, neighborly person," Jerry Anderson said.
"Lee's sister walked her little dog and every time she said, 'Hello,' " Jerry Anderson said.
Myrtle Anderson said both women always waved when passing the Anderson home.
"It was a surprise, big time," said a neighbor across the street from the Stanbary lot. He decline to give his name but added, "Something that was not expected, by any means."
The lot still has police tape in front. There are burned-out hulks of three pickups and appliances, a ruined trailer and much black rubble.
At the base of the mailbox, stand there are 2 pails of spent casings and 20 or more ammunition boxes.
On Dec. 7, Stanbary's home went up in flames. Neighbors who tried to alert residents inside were met with gunfire, as were responding police and firefighters. The gunman fired from multiple firearms for 90 minutes, keeping firefighters and police at bay, investigators said.
No one outside the house was seriously injured; a Washougal police officer whose patrol car was hit by a round suffered minor injuries from shattered glass.
Arrested in December 1994 after threatening to kill his ex-wife, children and himself, Stanbary was found to have numerous weapons, including AK-47s.
