States Hit Snags Issuing Driver's Licenses to Undocumented Immigrants
States With Substantial Immigrant Populations Finding Regulations Tricky to Roll Out
DENVER—A law granting driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants is set to take effect Friday in Colorado, but the state is facing challenges as it seeks to handle a wave of applicants.
Other states with large immigrant populations, such as California and Illinois, also are dealing with complications and high demands as they implement similar laws.
In Colorado, the motor-vehicle division's scheduling website was overwhelmed in early July after it started setting up appointments for undocumented immigrants, and shut down several times.
There is a three-month wait to get an appointment with the Driver Services Department in Illinois, which began issuing licenses to undocumented immigrants last December, as tens of thousands of people have tried to apply.
And an estimated 1.4 million undocumented immigrants in California are expected to seek special driver's licenses beginning in January. Officials have been working on a new document design since the federal government rejected the state's initial effort because it was too similar to a traditional driver's license.
Eleven states and Washington, D.C., have laws permitting undocumented immigrants to get some sort of special driver's license or permit, said the National Conference of State Legislatures. Individuals who can't show that they are in the U.S. lawfully typically are required to provide proof of state residency, tax returns or other identification to qualify for licenses. But in larger, more populous states, where substantial numbers of immigrants may be eligible, the new regulations are proving tricky to roll out.
In Colorado, the state is only offering appointments to apply for the licenses at five of 37 motor vehicle division offices. While immigrant advocates praised the new law, they raised concerns that some living in rural areas would have to drive hours to reach the nearest office.
"Some people are frustrated because they don't understand why the state government would want them to drive without a license over highways and mountain passes, essentially endangering themselves and other people if there were an accident," said Nicole Mosher, executive director of Compañeros, which provides resources to immigrants in southwestern Colorado.
Daria Serna, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Revenue, which oversees the licensing program, said lawmakers had intended it to be funded through license fees. Department officials said Wednesday they couldn't expand the resources it has devoted to the program without potentially raising the costs for applicants.
"Some people maybe expected us to license everyone in the first 30 days," she said. "If we need to go back and ask for more resources, then we will do that."
Illinois officials and immigrant advocates said they were encouraged by the huge interest in the licenses in that state, though it caused a lengthy lag time.
"We are encouraging people to be patient," said Dave Druker a spokesman for Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White.
California's motor vehicle department has held four public hearings in recent weeks in Los Angeles and Oakland as it prepares to complete its licensing regulations. Immigrant rights groups were urging state officials to expand the list of identifying documents that could be submitted by applicants.
State officials said they were continuing to work with the Department of Homeland Security to devise a license design that was distinguishable from its regular license in accordance with a federal law known as the Real ID Act.

We've included some of the notes, slightly tweaked, from Cook's test kitchen.
When we tested the recipe for this article, truth be told, the eggs were cracked right into the center of the hot filling, so the step that puts the raw eggs in individual bowls was skipped.
Preparation tips:
In order for eggs to cook properly, it is critical to add them to hot filling-lined ramekins quickly. Use 6-ounce ramekins with 3¼-inch diameters, measured from the inner lip.
It is imperative to remove eggs from oven just after whites have turned opaque but are still jiggly — carryover cooking will finish the job.
If using a metal baking pan, reduce oven temperature to 425 degrees.
This recipe can be doubled. If doubling, bake ramekins in two 13-by-9-inch dishes and increase baking times by about a minute. » Read Full Article

text: newsroom Colorado's Steel City Gets a Boost from Southwest Chief Work By Andrea Chalfin • Oct 19, 2015 Andrea Chalfin / KRCC Work is set to begin this week on rail lines in western Kansas that carry Amtrak's Southwest Chief. Portions of that track, plus segments in southeastern Colorado, were the target of a federal transportation grant awarded last year to help repair and upgrade freight lines to passenger rail speeds. And, Colorado's Steel City is getting a boost from the work. Who Will Challenge Bennet For His Senate Seat In 2016? By Bente Birkeland • Oct 13, 2015 The Republican field to challenge Democratic U.S. Senator Michael Bennet is still very much up in the air, but some possible contenders have not ruled out entering the race. Bennet's seat is one of 10 Democratic seats across the nation the party must defend in 2016. So far Republicans do not have a clear front-runner. Bright prospects including Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman and Arapahoe County District Attorney George Brauchler have both decided not to run. Prescribed Burns Planned By Andrea Chalfin • Oct 10, 2015 Agencies are planning a number of prescribed burns throughout the area, focusing on reducing fuel load and promoting forest health: Winter Water for Migrating Ducks By Shelley Schlender • Oct 8, 2015 Shelley Schlender / RMCR Colorado's South Platte River basin is a powerhouse for crops and cattle. Massive reservoirs quench the region's thirst, with farm fields generally first in line. Wildlife? It's often last. But a small win-win is giving waterfowl a little more room at the watering hole. It's a program that creates warm winter ponds for migrating ducks — then gives the water back, in time for summer crops. Colorado the Beautiful: Taking Outdoor Recreation 'to the Next Level' By Bente Birkeland • Oct 8, 2015 Bente Birkeland / RMCR Colorado is well known for its outdoor recreation offerings, but Governor John Hickenlooper wants to take it to the next level by making it even easier for people to access open space and parks. Over the summer he unveiled the Colorado the Beautiful Initiative and more recently a $100 million pledge to create and connect bike trails. Transportation Plan Comment Period to End By Madeleine Schmidt • Oct 8, 2015 Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments Friday is the last day to submit comments on a proposed transportation plan for the Pikes Peak area. Moving Forward 2040 looks at existing and future needs for improvements to multi-modal transportation, and identifies $6 billion worth of need. The plan has allocated $3 billion toward projects based on projected federal, state, and local funding. EPC Commissioners Approve Two Additional Settlements By Rachel Gonchar • Oct 7, 2015 El Paso County Commissioners have approved $120,000 to settle claims against former Sheriff Terry Maketa and other department employees. The county approved $85,000 in a case alleging unfair retaliation after claims of sexual harassment. The other settlement pays $35,000 for allegations of civil rights abuses and a hostile work environment. A portion of the funds will come from the Sheriff's Office while attorney fees will be paid by the county's risk management fund. Whole Foods to Stop Selling Correctional Facility Products By Luke Runyon & Andrea Chalfin • Oct 1, 2015 Whole Foods says it will stop selling products made by a Colorado prison labor program after a protest against the practice at one of its stores in Texas. The company says the products should be out of its stores by April 2016, if not sooner. Whole Foods says it has sold tilapia and goat cheese produced through the Colorado Correctional Industries program in Canon City since at least 2011. Prison reform advocates have likened the program to indentured servitude, citing low wages. CSPD Recieves Grant to Purchase Body Cameras By Tucker Hampson & Andrea Chalfin • Sep 24, 2015 The Colorado Springs Police Department has received a grant of $600,000 to purchase 500 body cameras. The department plans to assign the cameras to about 470 police officers who work closely with citizens. Policies will come after public input, says CSPD Commander Pat Rigdon, adding that they'll also be informed by the department's pilot program and by what other police departments have done. Q & A: Gov. Hickenlooper on the Greater Sage Grouse, Fracking Appeals, and Bicycle Infrastructure By Bente Birkeland • Sep 22, 2015 Tom Koerner/USFWS / Creative Commons The U.S. Department of Interior decided on Tuesday that the greater sage grouse does not need protection under the Endangered Species Act. The bird spans eleven western states including Colorado, where it lives in pockets along the western slope. The population is mostly concentrated in the northwest part of the state. Governor John Hickenlooper was one of the many people working to avoid a federal listing for the bird. He sat down with statehouse reporter Bente Birkeland to talk about the decision and other initiatives. Interview Highlights Woodland Park Looks at Traffic Circulation By Tucker Hampson • Sep 22, 2015 The city of Woodland Park is taking the next step in planning for traffic issues in and around the city. A traffic circulation study team will present more refined options that look at ways to alleviate congested traffic conditions in Woodland Park at a public meeting Tuesday night. The city's Planning Director Sally Riley says even though it usually comes down to funding, the city is trying to get citizen input to determine which issues are the most pressing. Campaign Launches in Opposition to Sales Tax Proposal By Tucker Hampson • Sep 21, 2015 A group opposing a proposed sales tax measure for road repairs in Colorado Springs has launched its campaign. The ballot initiative, if passed, would institute a sales tax increase of approximately $50 million a year for five years to help pay for road repairs. Laura Carno is spearheading the opposition, and says the city could be more efficient and find alternative ways to pay for the repairs. Sit-Lie Ordinance Gets its Second Public Hearing By Matt Richmond • Sep 18, 2015 Matt Richmond / KRCC Colorado Springs City Council is making changes to its controversial sit-lie proposal. The measure would restrict where people can sit and lie down in two of the city's commercial districts. Officials are now lowering the penalties from possible jail time and a twenty-five hundred dollar fine to just a five hundred dollar fine. The city hosted the second of two scheduled public meetings on the proposal on Thursday night in Old Colorado City. Colorado Legislature Continues To Wrangle Over Rain Barrels By Bente Birkeland • Sep 17, 2015 Colorado's ban on collecting rain from residential rooftops has been a contentious topic at the statehouse, and a proposed bill for 2016 means it will likely be debated once again. "Colorado is the only western state where rain barrels are illegal," said Drew Beckwith, a water policy manager with the nonprofit Western Resource Advocates. "Every other western state that has our water laws has them legal, and it has not caused the Earth to come crashing to a halt." So why is there so much controversy over collecting rainwater? The sticking point is whether doing so impacts downstream water users. Senate Continues Hearings into Toxic Mine Spill By Tucker Hampson • Sep 16, 2015 Inquiries into last month's spill of toxic wastewater into the Animas River in Southwestern Colorado continue on Capitol Hill. The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee held a hearing Wednesday into the spill at the request of lawmakers from Colorado and New Mexico. As New Rules Loom, Colorado Is Again Talking About Energy Industry Relations By Bente Birkeland • Sep 15, 2015 Oil drilling on Colorado's populous Front Range has forced more interactions between communities and the energy industry – and that's caused tension. At the recent annual Rocky Mountain Energy Summit, one of the discussions centered on how to improve relations between the industry and the public. It's an ongoing issue that the state will tackle in a new rule making hearing. Evidence of Toxins Found at Superfund Site in Pueblo By Shanna Lewis • Sep 10, 2015 Results of bloodwork and soil testing done in the area of the former Colorado Smelter Superfund site in Pueblo were released this week. KRCC's Shanna Lewis reports that evidence of toxins was found. 135 people considered most at risk for exposure to lead had their blood drawn two years ago. Seven children were found to have elevated levels. The report notes that even low levels of lead could cause serious health problems in children. Mayor John Suthers Delivers State of the City Address By Matt Richmond • Sep 10, 2015 Matt Richmond / KRCC Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers is 100 days into his term. To mark the occasion, he gave a State of the City speech on Wednesday. As KRCC's Matt Richmond reports, the focus was on infrastructure and economic development. Suthers made the case for two tax initiatives on November's ballot, emphasizing the need to make up for past budget cuts. Black Canyon of the Gunnison Recognized for Dark Skies By Shanna Lewis • Sep 9, 2015 Greg Owens / National Park Service The Black Canyon of the Gunnison just became Colorado's first International Dark Sky certified National Park, and the ninth in the nation. The Western Slope park was recognized for its exceptional night sky views, as well as its efforts to preserve those views and educate people about the value of a dark night sky. Ranger Nick Myers leads the astronomy program at the park. He says they've worked to reduce bright lights that can drown out the stars. State Fair Wraps Up; Petition with 5K Signatures to Go to Statehouse By Tucker Hampson • Sep 9, 2015 Shanna Lewis / KRCC The 143rd Colorado State Fair closed on Monday with strong attendance, but the discussion continues on whether to move the fair out of Pueblo. KRCC's Tucker Hampson reports. More than a half million people attended the 11-day event this year, surpassing 2014. Colorado's Political Climate By Bente Birkeland • Sep 8, 2015 clipart.com Colorado has largely been spared from this summer's political wrangling ahead of the 2016 presidential race. But as Republicans nationally are working to narrow the presidential field, the GOP in Colorado wants to widen its field of candidates to run against incumbent Democratic Senator Michael Bennet next year. "The numbers tell us Senator Bennet is vulnerable," said Republican state party Chairman Steve House. "It would be great to hold onto the U.S. Senate. Republicans have to defend a number of seats more than the Democrats." Audio Postcard: Colorado State Fair By Shanna Lewis • Sep 3, 2015 Shanna Lewis / KRCC The Colorado State Fair is in full swing in Pueblo. Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to check out the annual celebration of the state's agriculture and more. They'll have plenty to do from spinning on rides at the carnival to eating festival foods to watching young Coloradans show off their livestock and other 4H projects. KRCC's Shanna Lewis captured some of the sights and sounds from the fair, starting in the swine barn. State Health Access Survey Shows Changes Under the Affordable Care Act By Bente Birkeland • Sep 2, 2015 Clipart.com The number of Coloradans who don't have health insurance has dropped by about half since President Barack Obama's signature health care law went into effect. The state's uninsured rate fell from 14.3 percent in 2013 to 6.7 percent in 2015. Not only does the Colorado Access Health Survey say that the uninsured are at a record low, it also finds that more people have enrolled in Medicaid. Colorado State Fair Opens with Strong Attendance By Tucker Hampson • Sep 2, 2015 Andrea Chalfin The Colorado State Fair is full swing in Pueblo this week, and early numbers show a possible increase in turnout over last year. The Fair saw an average of 45,000 people a day over opening weekend, a 2% increase in attendance says Chris Wiseman, Colorado State Fair General Manager. Wiseman says he's optimistic about the coming weekend, but adds anything could happen. Q & A: Colorado's Incoming Supreme Court Justice By Bente Birkeland • Aug 28, 2015 Bente Birkeland / RMCR Judge Richard Gabriel will soon be sworn in as Colorado's next State Supreme Court Justice. He currently serves on the Colorado Court of Appeals. He received his undergrad degree at Yale University and went to the University of Pennsylvania School of Law. He talked to statehouse reporter Bente Birkeland about his view of politics in the judicial process, why he became a lawyer, and some of his significant cases. Highlights from the Interview: On Criticisms that Judges and Decisions are Too Political With School Back in Session, Graduation Requirements Get Another Look By Bente Birkeland • Aug 27, 2015 clipart.com Students are heading back to school, but the road to graduation for this year's incoming crop of seniors varies by high school. The reason? Unlike other states, Colorado does not have a set requirement for what it takes to receive a diploma. Creating a standard is an ongoing debate and one that state lawmakers tried to answer in 2007 and 2008 when they approved legislation requiring a minimum statewide requirement. Colorado's IUD Program Secures Another Year Of Funding By Bente Birkeland • Aug 26, 2015 A program to provide long acting reversible contraceptives to low-income women has been funded for another year. About a dozen health and community foundations have stepped up to provide the funds, something the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment had been working overtime to try and secure. Person of Interest Named in Dylan Redwine's Death By Andrea Chalfin • Aug 19, 2015 The La Plata County Sheriff's Office is releasing more information in the case of Dylan Redwine, the Monument 13-year-old who disappeared in southwestern Colorado in 2012. His remains were found less than a year later. Earlier this summer, the sheriff's office said they had a person of interest. Investigators are now naming that person as Mark Redwine, Dylan's father. The county coroner has also amended Dylan's death certificate to reflect "homicide" as the cause of death, as opposed to "undetermined." Ballot Measures Focus on Roads, Parks in Colorado Springs By Andrea Chalfin • Aug 11, 2015 Colorado Springs City Council gave preliminary approval to place two measures on November's ballot that would benefit roads and parks. Mayor John Suthers formally presented his proposals at Tuesday's council meeting, one of which will ask residents for a .62% sales tax increase for road repairs. It would sunset in five years and generate around $50 million each year. Critics say that money can be found in the existing budget, but Suthers says that's just not realistic.

Times Square packed with security for New Year's
NEW YORK -- When revelers pack Times Square for the annual New Year's Eve celebration tonight, police will observe a tradition of their own: giving them lots of company.
Each year, the New York Police Department assigns thousands of extra patrols to festivities -- in ways seen and unseen -- to control the crowd and watch for any signs of trouble. Hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world are expected to pack into the bow-tie stretch of streets in Midtown Manhattan to ring in 2013.
"We think it's the safest place in the world on New Year's Eve," Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told the Associated Press.
Security in Times Square has become an obsession for the NYPD in the post-9/11 world, especially since the botched attempted car bombing there in the summer of 2010. More recently, details emerged in another case in Florida saying that one suspect considered Times Square as a potential target.
"Times Square is an iconic location that draws a significant number of people every day," Kelly said. "New Year's Eve is the apex of that, so we have to plan accordingly."

Gaiman's new book a beautiful collision of memory, mortality
If you ask me, I'll tell you that "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" is Neil Gaiman's portrait of the artist as a young man. With this book, Gaiman has crafted an achingly beautiful memoir of an imagination and a spellbinding story that sets three women at the center of everything.
If you ask me, I'll tell you that this is not only a creation myth (of imagination, of a meaningful life, of the universe), but also a wonderful fairy tale with some truly creepy moments. Set in the English countryside of Gaiman's childhood, the story's middle-aged narrator (an artist) flees a family funeral, retreating "toward a house that had not existed for decades." He ends up at the pond at the end of the lane where he first met the Hempstock women (Old Mrs. Hempstock, Ginnie and Lettie), a trinity of females who recall when "the moon was made," who can "snip fragments of time," and who are "not in the fabric of the universe," but "outside of it." »Read Full Article

Vic and Gab stands out in Milwaukee's music scene
A TV placement, a major-label contract and an opening gig for President Barack Obama in front of thousands of people: It all happened for sisters Hannah Gabriela Banuelos and Victoriah Banuelos before they even released their first full-length album, "Love of Mine," as Vic and Gab this month.
As one of the few sister-fronted acts in Milwaukee, Vic and Gab inevitably stand out, but the band's dreamy brand of pop/rock is worthy of attention in its own right. Following the release party of "Love" at Cactus Club last week (the album is available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Bandcamp, at shows and the Exclusive Company), Vic and Gab have stuffed in three local shows between July 25 and 30, but its that aggressive approach that helped the band land gigs on the Warped Tour and in front of thousands at a local Obama rally last year. »Read Full Article(1)
Festa Italiana offers plenty of mouth-watering variety
The ornate marble work they produced distinguished Milwaukee's first Italian immigrants from other ethnic groups in the city. So did their unification under Festa Italiana in 1978 — the city's first ethnic festival on the Summerfest grounds. This citywide Italian family reunion at the lakefront keeps getting bigger and better.
In addition to authentic products and food demonstrations, Festa will offer 40 food vendors selling Italian-American favorite such as pizza, Italian sausage, arancini (rice balls), toasted ravioli, sfingi (Italian doughnuts), Italian cookies and fresh gelato among other mouth-watering dining options. Cannoli fanatics should ready their stomachs because there will be a cannoli-eating contest at 3 p.m. Saturday. Anthony Paulis was the champion of last year's Festa.

How public station WYMS got that exclusive McCartney interview
When you think of Paul McCartney, you think of the Beatles and oldies. But McCartney, who still tours, records and has things he feels passionate about, lives in the now.
And so when he decided to do a radio interview prior to his Milwaukee concert Tuesday, "he wanted to talk to a station that wouldn't primarily focus on his past," said WYMS-FM (88.9) program director Mark Keefe, who conducted an exclusive 21-minute telephone interview with McCartney Tuesday for the station, popularly known as RadioMilwaukee. »Read Full Blog Post(18)

Watch: How will Wikileaks movie play in light of NSA scandal?
The upcoming film "The Fifth Estate" is about the whistle-blower website Wikileaks and its founder Julian Assange, portrayed by Benedict Cumberbacht, who appeared in "Star Trek Into Darkness" and as a modern day Sherlock Holmes in a British TV series seen on PBS.
The director Bill Condon seems like an odd choice to direct what looks like a political thriller, since he does not have a lot of serious work under his belt - he previously directed the musical "Dreamgirls" and two "Twilight" movies. He also directed "Gods & Monsters." »Read Full Blog Post
9 Milwaukee restaurants suspended temporarily for health reasons in 2013
Milwaukee's health inspectors have been busy: Nine city restaurants so far this year were ordered to close or partially suspend operations until they addressed violations ranging from pests to smelly sewage in the kitchen.
Nearly all of those restaurants have since reopened, and ordering a closure is still rare when inspectors peek behind the curtains of the hundreds of restaurants and taverns in the city. But those inspections still turned up at least one critical food safety violation at almost 400 of the 900 or so establishments inspected this year, a Journal Sentinel review found. »Read Full Article(26)

This story has been updated to reflect that Fazzini has pleaded guilty.
Louis "Big Lou" Fazzini, a North Jersey mobster charged with racketeering, has decided to take his chances with the sentencing judge rather than put his fate in the hands of a federal jury.
Fazzini, 45, pleaded guilty Friday morning before U.S. District Judge Eduardo Robreno in Philadelphia.
Fazzini had pleaded not guilty this year to a racketeering conspiracy charge linked to a mob-controlled gambling and loan-sharking operation. There is no indication he is cooperating with authorities.
His court-appointed attorney did not return a call seeking comment.
A one-page notice filed Thursday disclosed that the change-of-plea hearing had been scheduled.

The Duel of Thunder and Strength
Thousands of years ago, the armies of Lei Shen - the Thunder King - marched onto Kun-Lai Summit. His empire was growing, and slaves were required for the building of its cities and fortresses. So rather than attack the summit, Lei Shen boomed with his mighty voice: "Choose the greatest warrior among you and have him face me in one on one combat. Should I win, your people will submit to my rule. Should he win, I shall leave these lands in peace." "Challenge accepted!" came a voice that boomed across the mountains almost as strong as the thunderous presence of Lei Shen. From the mountains descended Xuen, the White Tiger. The August Celestial had seen the plight of the free peoples and could bear it no more. It is said this duel lasted for thirty days and thirty nights, and the emotions of this duel awoke the sha in great force. But in the end, Xuen fell, crushed by the sheer might of Lei Shen's unearthly power. And so Xuen was placed in a prison at the pinnacle of Kun-Lai Summit and made to watch as the pandaren and hozen were made slaves. But the tiger never submitted to Lei Shen's torture. In captivity, he grew stronger. His failure was a lesson, his pride now in check, and he waited until the pandaren slaves would dare to challenge the might of the mogu emperors.[3]
The pandaren revolution
Many years later, a pandaren named Kang began teaching his fellow slaves the ways of the monk. When rumors of the movement reached mogu ears, Kang and his fellow monks relocated to Kun-Lai Summit, where they built a secret monastery to continue their training. Kang also discovered something completely unexpected: the prison of Xuen. The pandaren often communed with the White Tiger, and Xuen taught him the secrets of harnessing one's inner strength — teachings that Kang passed along to his students, and which were eventually used by the pandaren and the other slave races to topple the mogu empire.[4]
The Burdens of Shaohao
After he freed himself of his doubts, despair, and fear, Emperor Shaohao journeyed to the high peaks of Kun-Lai Summit, where Xuen and the greatest warriors of Pandaria reside. As Shaohao announced his need of an army, Xuen, having recognized a great darkness within the brash emperor, asked him why does he fight. When Shaohao replied his intention to crush the Burning Legion and anyone who stood in his way, Xuen refused to hand him his warriors, but issued a challenge to the emperor: If he managed to touch any of the tiger's warriors with his staff, they are his to command. For hours Shaohao fought, but the warriors were too quick and too nimble for the untrained emperor. As Shaohao grew angry, he cursed and broke the staff over his knee, which brought forth his own anger, hatred, and violence. Defenseless, Shaohao was attacked by the sha he created, but as the smoke cleared, the emperor was unharmed, as one of the warriors sacrificed himself for him. Humbled before Xuen, the emperor learned that his own passions made him weak, and as he set forth on the final leg of his adventure, he became a creature of patience, love, and peace.[5][6]
Mists of Pandaria
This section concerns content exclusive to Mists of Pandaria.
It is Xuen who was visited by Anduin Wrynn, Zhi the Harmonious and Taran Zhu. He tests adventurers who seek to gain entry into the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, and he is present when the gate to the vale is opened.
He also calls the adventurers to do dailies or in short: fight fighters. He also oversees the fights during the Arena of Annihilation.
After the death of Zhi, mogu invaded the vale and Xuen granted his powers to the Golden Lotus warriors.
As part of Wrathion's legendary journey, he and an adventurer visited the White Tiger in order to get his blessing.
The Fist of Ra-den
This section concerns content exclusive to Legion.
After the events at the Throne of Thunder, Xuen recovered [The Fist of Ra-den], a powerful weapon formerly wielded by Highkeeper Ra. The White Tiger saw its immense and dangerous power, and chose to safeguard it until someone worthy could take up the weapon in a righteous cause once again.[7]
Timeless Isle
The trial of Xuen is simultaneously a test of strength and a test of restraint. When Xuen gave Emperor Shaohao a 10-foot-pole and asked him to strike one of Xuen's warriors, the Emperor could not land a blow. For without restraint, anger and hatred run wild. To pass the trial of the Tiger, warriors must harness their power, while burying their thoughts of violence.[8]

During the quest [90] Why Do We Fight?, the celestials alongside the ghost of Shaohao, Lorewalker Cho and Adventurer gathered around to begin to heal the Vale. As he stands before the tree he still knew you as an inspiration.

Xuen holds a competition to find someone worthy of the [The Fist of Ra-den]. Among the fighters who attempt to prove themselves are Chen Stormstout, Li Li Stormstout, and Rehgar Earthfury.

- Xuen: Take this staff, and if you can touch any one of my warriors, they are yours to command.
- Xuen: You see now why you are not ready to lead? Your anger does not empower you. It makes you weak.
- Shaohao: My rage exacted a heavy toll. A single sacrifice has shown me the power of fellowship... of love... of peace.
- Xuen: Again, I ask. Why do you fight?
- Shaohao: For home and family. For the people I protect. For them, I would give my final breath. Thank you, White Tiger.
- Ten thousand years ago, the last Pandaren Emperor came seeking my advice. He, too, was filled with conflict. Let us see if you are correct, Taran. Let us see how this stranger deals with the turmoil of the soul.
- Well spoken, Zhi. The strangers from beyond the mists have no shortage of passions, but let us see if they indeed control them. Beyond anger lies hatred, the wellspring of all misery. What is this? Your hatred has a face!
- Well, this one has indeed proven mastery over anger. Between the young cub's words and the actions of this hero, I think I understand - those from beyond the mists are harded by battle. They are scarred, yes, but they have learned much.. I trust them.

- In the original four symbols of Chinese mythology which the August Celestials are based on, the white tiger is in the West, not the North.

WALL, N.J. — Student Transportation of America Ltd. (STA) has been awarded two new contracts to provide transportation services to the Flossmoor and Will County school districts in Illinois beginning in the 2009-10 school year.
STA will add over 50 school vehicles to its fleet to serve the districts.
The Flossmoor contract is a "tuck-in" with existing operations. The Will County district, which provides service to students through an in-house operation, will convert to privatized service for the new school year.
"These are very strategic contract wins for STA and our Midwest region," said STA chairman and CEO Denis J. Gallagher. "We are pleased to complete our sixth conversion and first in Illinois from an in-house operated transportation system to a budget-friendly privatized model."
STA currently serves more than 200 school districts. The company said that it is continuing to pursue growth opportunities through acquisitions, bids and school district conversions across the U.S. and Canada.
