Westerwelle welcomes Obama's State of the Union address
On 12 February, US President Barack Obama delivered the traditional State of the Union address. In this speech, he set a number of foreign policy priorities which Germany shares and supports.

The President came out in favour of negotiating with Russia in order to further reduce the two countries' nuclear arsenals. He also called for securing nuclear material in order to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. He wants to launch talks with the European Union on a comprehensive Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. With a view to Afghanistan, he announced the withdrawal of 34,000 US soldiers by the beginning of 2014 as well as continued American commitment to the training and equipment of the Afghan armed forces.
Foreign Minister Westerwelle issued the following statement in support of the US President's policy priorities:
"I welcome the fact that the President aims at further progress on nuclear disarmament. Nuclear disarmament and non proliferation are key security policy challenges of our time. I therefore hope that Russia will take up the offer to continue negotiations.
Moreover, the Federal Government expressly welcomes President Obama's commitment to negotiations on a transatlantic free trade zone. I hope for strong political momentum in this direction so that words will be swiftly followed by deeds. Enhanced trade and investment can drive growth on both sides of the Atlantic without running up new debt.
The announcement of a further American troop drawdown in Afghanistan bears witness to the world's united stance on the implementation of the agreed Afghanistan strategy. The international community is on schedule as far as the handover of responsibility for security and the withdrawal of combat forces by the end of 2014 is concerned."
The annual State of the Union address delivered before both houses of Congress is envisaged in Article II of the US Constitution. It provides the President with an opportunity to outline his perspective on the state of the nation and to present important political priorities and projects for his term of office. But foreign policy is only one item on the agenda. Large sections of this year's address dealt with domestic issues such as the labour market and immigration policy.

Spicy Chinese Five-Spice Rubbed Chicken Wings with Creamy Cilantro Dipping Sauce
Recipe courtesy of Dave Lieberman
- Good Deal with Dave Lieberman
As much as I love the classic, tangy wings, I have to say these are right up there with them. These couldn't get much easier either. All[ I do is rub the wings all over with a hot Chinese five spice rub and bake them in a really hot oven.]
- 40 chicken wing pieces or 20 whole chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons Chinese five- spice powder
- 3 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Creamy Cilantro Dipping Sauce, recipe follows
Preheat your oven to 500 degrees F.
If you have whole chicken wings, cut off wingtips and cut the wings in half at the joint. Discard wingtips or freeze to make stock at a later time.
Place the wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle five-spice powder and cayenne on the wings, add a few pinches of salt and about 15 grinds of black pepper. Rub the mixture into all the wings until no more loose rub remains. Wash your hands.
Line the wing pieces up on a baking sheet so the side of the wing that has the most skin is facing up. Roast until cooked through, browned and crispy, about 25 minutes. Serve hot with Creamy Cilantro Dipping Sauce.
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup light sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup yogurt
1/2 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Combine ingredients in mixing bowl. Whisk ingredients to incorporate them fully and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Yield: about 1 cup

Topic: YouTube API, check if video is still valid
Ok, so youtube has a neat API, well documented too. And Shane has his cool youtube gem. Using these two you can do lots of great stuff with youtube videos in your rails app.
The one thing that I cannot figure out, is how to check that the video you are pulling, is still playing on youtube, as they sometimes pull videos, or the user pulls the video.
The closest thing I can come to figuring out is when the get.details method is given a bad youtube video id, it produces a RuntimeError.
RuntimeError: Video not found. Please recheck the specified video ID. : url=http://www.youtube.com/api2_rest?method=youtube.videos.get_details&dev_id=jQqg4rF0Mjw&video_id=asdhas78
Is there a way, that you can use the runtime error exception in your app? Or, can anyone think of a more clever way to do this kind of testing?

Estimated grade. Ex. Numismatic Gallery Sale (1953) Sold by David Akers Numismatics May '98 Price realized $2860
David Akers: In the past, the 1898-O was always overshadowed by the mintmarked issues of 1896 and 1897; that is, although the 1898-O was always considered a very scarce date, it generally took a backseat to the 1896-O, 1896-S, 1897-O and 1897-S in terms of popularity and perceived rarity. Now that we have a better picture of the relative rarity of many of the issues in the series, however, it is quite clear that the 1898-O in Gem condition is decidedly more rare than either of the two 1897 issues and is actually very similar in rarity to the 1896-O and 1896-S. I feel that is is one of the more underrated issues in the series in high grade, and Gem quality examples are extremely difficult to locate.

Published in Year of Faith
Keywords: Fr. G. Peter Irving III, Holy Innocents Long Beach, Divine Mercy, Sacrament of Penance, Confession, Reconciliation, Father Faber, There's a Wideness in God's Mercy, forgiveness of sins, Catechism of the Catholic Church 982
LONG BEACH, CA (Catholic Online) - In today's Gospel we hear the world's greatest storyteller tell one of the greatest stories ever told. Commonly referred to as the Parable of the Prodigal, a more apt title would be the Parable of the Prodigal Son and His Elder Brother.
Both sons wandered from their father's side. The younger son did so in dramatic fashion, wasting his father's inheritance on a life of dissipation. The elder son also strayed but without ever actually physically leaving his father's side. The father in the parable represents God the Father whose love for His children is indomitable even in the face of their selfishness and lack of love.
When I think about this parable, there immediately comes to mind the beautiful hymn composed by Father Frederick William Faber (1814-1863) who, abandoning Anglicanism, followed Blessed John Henry Newman into the Church. The title of the hymn is "There's A Wideness in God's Mercy."
There's a wideness in God's mercy like the wideness of the sea ... There is welcome for the sinner, and more graces for the good; there is mercy with the Savior; there is healing in his blood.
What appealing words! What an alluring message! Indeed, there is welcome for the sinner. And this is the point of this great parable of the Lord. God is lavishly merciful toward sinners. If we are paying attention at all we will have noticed that the scriptural readings that the Church places before us in this Season of Lent are making precisely this point.
Today's first reading tells us: Who is there like you, the God who removes guilt and pardons sin for the remnant of his inheritance? And today's responsorial psalm: He pardons all your iniquities, he heals all your ills. He redeems your life from destruction, he crowns you with kindness and compassion.
Earlier this week we heard these famous words from the prophet Isaiah: Come now, let us set things right, says the LORD: Though your sins be like scarlet, they may become white as snow; Though they be crimson red, they may become white as wool. Are we listening? Are we allowing this message of God's extravagant mercy to penetrate our hearts? Can we not hear the Lord say to each one of us, "I want to set things right"?
In this Year of Faith which His Holiness Benedict XVI inaugurated on October 11, 2012, we have been recalling the great Ecumenical Council Vatican II which was convoked fifty years ago by Blessed John XXIII. We are also giving thanks to God for the Catechism of the Catholic Church which Blessed John Paul II promulgated twenty years ago.
One of my favorite quotations from the Catechism is paragraph 982. I have prayed, pondered and preached on this section innumerable times. In fact, I have visited this passage so frequently that I almost have it memorized word for word. Here's what it says:
"There is no offense, however serious, that the Church cannot forgive. There is no one, however wicked and guilty, who may not confidently hope for forgiveness, provided his repentance is honest. Christ who died for all men desires that in his Church the gates of forgiveness should always be open to anyone who turns away from sin."
What more encouragement does one need to turn to the Lord and seek His mercy? Those "gates of forgiveness" are the doors of the confessionals of our churches. There Jesus, the Good Shepherd, is waiting for us, ready and willing to heal our wounds.
I understand how difficult it can be to take the plunge, as it were, and enter the confessional especially if months or even years have passed since one's last good confession. But, as I like to say, the most difficult step in making a good confession is turning the door knob of the confessional door and getting inside. Once there, with the help of God the Holy Spirit and with the prayers of our Mother Mary, the rest is easy. Really.
It doesn't matter how many or how great our sins may be. It doesn't matter how long we may have been away from the Sacraments. Jesus is waiting there to forgive us and heal us through the ministry of the priest in this most beautiful Sacrament of Divine Mercy.
Regarding the role of the priest in administrating this Sacrament, the Catechism teaches:
"When he celebrates the sacrament of Penance, the priest is fulfilling the ministry of the Good Shepherd who seeks the lost sheep, of the Good Samaritan who binds up wounds, of the Father who awaits the prodigal son and welcomes him on his return, and of the just and impartial judge whose judgment is both just and merciful. The priest is the sign and the instrument of God's merciful love for the sinner" (1465).
This Sacrament is called by various names. It is called "Confession" because it does necessitate the confessing of our sins, in particular any grave or mortal sins of which we may be conscious. It is called "Penance" because it requires that we be truly penitential, that is, truly sorry for our sins. Finally, it is called "Reconciliation" which, of course, is the end result of this sacrament; through this Sacrament we are made one again with God and with one another.
Confession begins with the letter "C." Penance begins with the letter "P." Reconciliation begins with the letter "R." It you put them altogether it spells, C.P.R! This Sacrament of Pardon is God's C.P.R. which He uses to revive our dead and sin-sick souls.
Sometimes people may feel that they have offended God so greatly that they are beyond God's reach. This is a thought which comes from the pit of hell and must be firmly and resolutely rejected. Confession is the last place that Satan wants sinners to go because he knows full well that there they will be set free from his stranglehold by the power of God's love and mercy.
St. Josemaria Escriva in his meditation on the Fifth Station, "Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus to carry His cross," wrote the following:
"It is not too late, nor is everything lost. Even though to you it may seem so. Even though a thousand foreboding voices keep saying so. Even though you are besieged by mocking and skeptical onlookers... You have come at a good time to take up the Cross: the Redemption is taking place -now! - and Jesus needs many Simons of Cyrene."
Lent 2013 is marching forward. It is not too late to seek God's mercy. Whether it's only been a couple of weeks or whether it's been months or years, decide today to go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Do not put it off any longer. The Lord who is "kind and merciful" is waiting for you there.
Count on the prayers of Our Lady, Mother of Mercy! She will take you by the hand and gently lead you to Jesus who alone can save us from our sins.

NG56 In the bands 72–73 and 75.4–76 MHz, the use of mobile radio remote control of models is on a secondary basis to all other fixed and mobile operations. Such operations are subject to the condition that interference will not be caused to common carrier domestic public stations, to remote control of industrial equipment operating in the band 72–76 MHz, or to the reception of television signals on channels 4 (66–72 MHz) or 5 (76–82 MHz). Television interference shall be considered to occur whenever reception of regularly used television signals is impaired or destroyed, regardless of the strength of the television signal or the distance to the television station.
Sooo...you can certainly operate an R/C transmitter in 75.4-76.0 MHz. Not sure about type approval or any of the other legal angles associated with rolling your own, though.

Definitely a 5 star, though I did adapt it a bit. I added 200 Grm bag of spinach to the pepper and onion in my wok. Wilt down then add Finest tomato and mascarpone pasta sauce to the wok.Cooked gnocchi in pan of boiling water, when cooked add to work. Mix well.put in dish , tear a whole 125 GM mozzarella ball into pieces . Put on top of dish and grill until golden.yummy !!!!!!
As per other comments, I cooked the gnocchi separately, added an extra tin of chopped tomatoes, spinach and mushrooms. I didn't put mozzarella, but just before sticking the bake under the grill, I added some light Laughing cow cheese (just because I was looking for a lighter option), and it was lovely. When I stop watching my weight, I will definitely go for a whole ball of mozzarella and/or bacon. I got 4 normal portions out of it. I will make this recipe again with all these extras.
A great recipe..but i made some slight changes. I added some spinach for a bit of interest, but used an inexpensive tomato pasta sauce I had in the cupboard in place of the tinned tomatoes, which turned out to be a great idea and i would do this in the future. I found it to be quite enough with left overs for lunch the next day - though i will say that gnocchi doesn't re-heat all that well - it goes very doughy. A hit with the husband and would make again.
This worked fairly well, although the gnocchi comes out a little chewy. I added 2 tins of tomatoes - it definitely needs this - and 2 balls of mozzarella with some spread through the middle. I served it with crusty bread. I think next time I would add some chilli as suggested by others below for extra zing as it needs a little something else.
Agree with many people below. I used two tins of tomatoes and added some broccoli and green beans which added a bit of colour. Also used a whole ball of less fat mozzarella and served with a side salad. That was enough for four. Really nice, easy midweek dinner, gnocchi is a nice change from pasta.
This is ok, and with a few extra's could be great. I agree with other reviewers that it is nowhere near enough for 4. I managed to get 3 lunch sized servings from the recipe without changes, but they were small serves. I added about half a can of water and some tomato paste, as 1 tin of tomatoes is nowhere near enough liquid. I used reduced fat mozzarella, but the full 125g ball. Next time I would add chilli, 2 tins of tomatoes, and loads of veg. Then it may be enough for 4, or at least a substantial meal for 3.
Made this tonight, was really tasty, added few extra ingredients, red wine, balsamic vinegar, oregano, salt, pepper, chilli, and used 2 tins of tomatoes, was definitely enough for 4 people. Cooked the gnocchi separately first then added it to the sauce, baked for 10 mins in the oven instead of 5 and then served with tomato and garlic flatbread, was really filling.

Met Room Jazz Jam Sessions
Apr 09, 2013 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Join Abe Ovadia and his quartet every Tuesday at 11pm. Non-musicians and musicians welcomed!
**$5 cover for musicians who sit in
A jam session is a musical act where musicians play by improvising without extensive preparation or predefined arrangements. Jam sessions are often used by musicians to develop new material, find suitable arrangements, or simply as a social gathering and communal practice session. Jam sessions may be based upon existing songs or forms, may be loosely based on an agreed chord progression or chart suggested by one participant, or may be wholly improvisational. Jam sessions can range from very loose gatherings of amateurs to sophisticated improvised recording sessions intended to be edited and released to the public.
Jam Sessions are an old Jazz tradition, and serve several important functions in the Jazz community. They allow emerging players to test their skills in front of an audience. Jam sessions also provide an opportunity for "cutting contests" where musicians vie for dominance by comparing their imaginations and improvisational skills in a live face-to-face situation. Also, Jam sessions allow musicians new to the area to network, and show what they have to offer.
Since his New York City arrival in 2009, Abe Ovadia has become an essential part of the city's jazz scene as a guitarist & composer. He has been described as "a musician with heart and soul, who puts his beautiful sound at the service of emotion." by world renowned pianist Jean-Michel Pilc. Abe's group performs at many of New York's top jazz clubs including Smalls Jazz Club, Cornelia Street Cafe, Jazz at Kitano, The Bar Next Door, The Falcon among others.
All About Jazz describes Abe's style as "modern jazz complexity with post-grunge rock influences." His musical versatility reaches a wider audience at venues including Sullivan Hall, Rockwood Music Hall, & Pianos. In 2010, Abe was heard by by Half Note Records Producer Jeff Levenson. Abe was given the title as a "Promising Artist of the 21st Century" which lead to a tour of Costa Rica the following summer. His debut album "The Jem" was released in spring 2011 followed by tours featuring Brian Lynch, Jd Allen, & Benito Gonzalez.
"I have worked with Abe in professional performing situations multiple times. It has been very enjoyable to play with him, as well as to perform his original music. He is playing at a world-class level." - Brian Lynch, Grammy-award winning trumpeter.

Skip to comments.Kathleen Parker makes a not-too-veiled assertion that president Obama is gay...
Posted on 07/01/2010 6:27:22 PM PDT by SonOfDarkSkies
This is truly fascinating, or would be, if Kathleen Parker wasnt a crazy person, so listening to her is often like finding yourself in a Victorian insane asylum with Renfield, cringing as he devours flies and other bugs. Like apartment creeper Maureen Dowd, and a broken clock, Parkers right about two times each day, and lucid every week or so.
In a new piece discussed by the excellent NeoNeocon site, Parker waxes about how feminine president Obama is in his approach to the presidency. She discusses his constant use of the passive voice, the way he blames problems on other people, and includes reference to the unusual amount of dithering, apologizing, and generally weak and prostrate behavior he engages in.
Kathleen Parker, we dont know what women you know or are spending your time around, but Obamas behavior is not typical for the women were proud to call our friends. No Obama acts much more like one of the little twinks we know in Boystown. Gay men who take responsibility for nothing, only want to party, want high level positions for the status of having fancy business cards, and cant be relied upon for ever keeping any promises or doing anything theyre supposed to do.
WOMEN we know are more like Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, Jan Brewer, Nikki Haley, Michele Bachmann, Meg Whitman all of whom give president Obama nightmares and probably keep his delicate, sorry, self up late at night wondering what theyre all plotting against him that day.
Obama wanted to be president so he could fly around on a private jet, wear the most expensive clothes, host lavish parties where no expense is spared and every entertainer he wanted could be booked. If thats not a gay man...
(Excerpt) Read more at hillbuzz.org ...
Here's some!
A LOT of Hillary-ites want to take Obama down.
I have to admit, I don't care about anyone else's sex life, as long as they don't make me watch.
Cat fight!!!
I will take the mean old typical white woman over the skinny clean cut spoiled kid....
"lotsa "first" with this clown...first black muslim maxist gay president"
That said, if the Hillbots want to bring Obama down...I am willing to stay up to watch a good old fashioned, bare-knuckled fight!
Go Hill! Beat the Gurrrly Mahhn to a bloody pulp!
I was just watching MSNBC and the guy from the nation . . . I couldn't tell if he was gay or metrosexual. Then I got to thinking about Chrissie Matthews thrill down his leg. Now Obama's basketball buddy.
Wonder if Dem women still think metrosexual is hot or if they want real men.
Going on the home page ASAP!
The enemy of my enemy is.....still my enemy (but it's kinda fun to watch them eat each other alive ;-)
Barry ain't gay, he is a 100 bi-sexual.
The fact he voted present 23 times in the Illinois Senate is a clear tip-off that he is an AC-DC, switch hitter. As far being more specific than that, I have seen him pitch, and I think he must be a catcher.
Wonder if Dem women still think metrosexual is hot or if they want real men.
I think Dem women may say they want the sensitive metrosexual men, but they really want a man to act like a man, to be decisive, and to take a stand when necessary. They don't see that in Obama.
She RATS? They probably want young chickies.
Besides, what normal man would that weird Michelle for a wife? Neither one of them is wired right, but they have the same goal: to destroy America with their bare hands.
Don't forget 1st "illegal alien" President
Yeah, but they want to replace him with Hilary - no thanks.
And, Obama is queer as a three-dollar bill.
That is correct, and, in my opinion, a bi-sexual is even more of a pervet than a homosexual, because the bi-sexual will sleep with anything that moves.
Michelle scares the heck outta me. No way I would sleep in the same room with that Wookiee with a side arm.;-)
ROTFLOL! Hillbuzz pegged Parker AND Obama is one fell swoop!!
Consider the possibility that both Obamas have had sex changes...
"Consider the possibility that both Obamas have had sex changes..."
Yup, I think they used to be each other! :)
Yup, I think they used to be each other! :)
by jove, I think you figured out the mystery.
present obama putts from the rough...
Or need them badly!;-)
That picture is Obama isn't it?
Yep, courtesy of HillBuzz! LOL.
Wow. He must really have a lot of options when he wants to release his second chakra.
"lotsa "first" with this clown...first black muslim maxist gay president"
excellent! plus he is a fraud, lying bastard , and pretentious affirmative action baby, as well an dual citizenship sophist! raised by and mentored by communist and Muslim and Arabs enemies of the USA! we must make sure the polls are overwhelmed with Patriots and Constitutionalists!
I have to admit that I enjoy Hillbuzz so much. If for nothing else, I can receive a different perspective and that's for sure! The Boyz always give me a good laugh.
They nailed this one.
Well, I'm proud to be twink. But enough about World of Warcraft.

He set my gaydar off the first time I saw him. The Left will freak if he ever gets outed.
Oww - my eyes!
I know - yikes! LOL.
What about Larry Sinclair?
The "reality based" community would ignore this, like any other truth, just as they have demonstrated over and over.
I have to admit, I dont care about anyone elses sex life, as long as they dont make me watch.
Or expect something to be legislated because of it.
Q: What did Rock Hudson die of?
A: Germs of enrearment.
Hillary Clinton is some fine example of A,eroican womanhood.WINO. And two woprds: Huma Abeden
No? Then why are you reading this thread?
No? Then why are you reading this thread?
For the same reason I posted the article on which this thread is based...I want to see Obama outed.
Americans deserve the truth!
Or that.

Bright Purple and Green Eyes
I wanted to share a look with you that I wore to one of my friend's mom's birthdays a week or two ago. I pulled out my favorite purple eyeshadow, Makeup Forever no. 92. If you don't have this, go get it!
I love how the purple color always seems super vibrant. The trick is you need to pat on the eyeshadow to bring out the vibrancy.
Here's What I Used (All MAC unless otherwise stated):
-soft ochre paint pot
-golden olive pigment
-MUFE no 92 eyeshadow
-nylon e/s
-Revlon Colorstay liquid liner in blackest black
-kohl pencil in smolder
-NARS orgasm lipgloss
I pushed my bangs to the side so you could get a better look!

How in the hell do you make that purple come out like that?! I am about the same shade as Sanaa Latham and I cannot get this purple to pop. It's like it turns to a brownish purple on me. THIS SUCKS! Please advise. But I will try to pack on instead of doing the whole circle technique into the crease.

No other region can match the tropics for the sheer scale and pace of road expansion.resources. Local communities in remote areas often demand new roads to improve access to markets and medical services. And geopolitically, new roads can be used to help secure resource-rich frontier regions. India, for instance, is currently constructing and upgrading roads to tighten its hold on Arunachal Pradesh state, over which it and China formerly fought a war.
In frontier regions, new roads often open up a Pandora's box of unplanned environmental maladies.local movements for scores of forest bird species. Many of these species prefer deep, dark forest interiors; they have large, light-sensitive eyes and avoid the vicinity of road verges, where conditions are much brighter, hotter, and drier. A variety of other tropical species — including certain insects, amphibians, reptiles, bats, and small and large mammals — have been shown to be similarly leery of roads and other clearings.
A vital step is to legally establish parks or reserves along road routes in advance of construction.to legally establish parks or reserves along road routes in advance of road construction. Such reserves often substantially reduce forest incursions, though they rarely halt them entirely. Another promising idea is to promote railroads rather than highways in tropical wilderness regions. Because railroads stop only at fixed locations, the spatial patterns of forest exploitation and movement of forest products can be more easily controlled and monitored than with roads.
If we hope to maintain intact tropical forests, then we must get serious about tropical roads.the myriad environmental costs of road expansion, especially into intact forests. The biggest road projects are often being supported by international lenders — such as the Asian, African, and Inter-American development banks — and by foreign aid doled out by China, the U.S., and the European Union. Educating such decision-makers needs to be done both generally and on a project-by-project basis.

PHOENIX -- Gov. Jan Brewer made sure that undocumented immigrants who are allowed to stay in the country through President Barack Obama's deferred-action program can't get driver's licenses in Arizona.
But The Arizona Republic found that undocumented immigrants whom the government is actively trying to deport have been able to obtain Arizona driver's licenses in the 20 months since Brewer's executive order. That number could potentially be in the thousands.
The upshot is that for undocumented immigrants in Arizona, getting a driver's license is possible when the government is actively trying to deport you, but impossible if you receive permission to stay through Obama's program.
Alan Salinas has experienced that paradox firsthand.
In 2010, Salinas was able to get an Arizona driver's license while the government was trying to deport him for being in the country illegally.
Then last month, Salinas was approved for Obama's deferred-action program, which allows young immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children to stay temporarily in the U.S. and get work permits without the threat of deportation.
But now Salinas, whose initial, short-term license expired, cannot get a new one.
"Yeah, it's ironic. It doesn't make any sense," said Salinas, 23, who was brought to the U.S. from Mexico by his parents when he was 14 and graduated from high school in Avondale in 2008.
His experience underscores the essence of a legal challenge against Brewer's policy.
Brewer has argued that undocumented immigrants approved for Obama's program have no legal authority to be in the U.S. and therefore are not eligible for driver's licenses under state law.
State law requires people to show that their presence in the U.S. is authorized by the federal government in order to get a driver's license. But Brewer asserts the "dreamers" don't have legal authority — even though they receive work permits — because she contends the deferred-action program Obama authorized in June 2012 improperly bypassed Congress.
"Governor Brewer has made it clear this issue has never been about the Dreamers," her spokesman, Andrew Wilder, said in an email. "The governor's focus is on upholding Arizona law — and Arizona law mandates that ADOT not issue licenses unless an individual can demonstrate authorized presence under federal law. The federal executive's unilateral decision to not enforce federal law does not constitute authorized presence under federal law."
But civil rights groups challenging Brewer's policy in federal court contend that undocumented immigrants who receive deferred-action work permits have just as much legal authority to be in the U.S. as other undocumented immigrants who are granted work permits to support themselves while they contest their deportations. Denying driver's licenses to one group while giving them to another violates the equal protection clause of the Constitution, they say.
"That just defies common sense. It's not an explanation. It's an excuse," said Orion Danjuma, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union's Immigrant Rights Project, one of several organizations that jointly filed a lawsuit challenging Brewer's policy.
"In reality, Governor Brewer disagrees with President Obama and doesn't think (deferred-action) grantees should be allowed to be in the country, and when the governor targets Dreamers over that disagreement she is violating the Constitution and the right to equal protection," Danjuma said.
Nebraska is the only other state that denies driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants approved for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. Nebraska's policy is being challenged in court.
Obama's program allows undocumented immigrants to apply to stay in the U.S. for up to two years without the threat of deportation and receive work permits as long as they are under age 31, were brought to the U.S. before they turned 16, graduated from high school, or are in school and have no serious criminal violations. The program targets undocumented immigrants who have no clear way to legalize their status, but it does not confer any kind of legal status or access to public benefits.
Through the end of 2013, nearly 19,000 undocumented immigrants in Arizona had been approved for Obama's program.
In May 2013, U.S. District Court Judge David G. Campbell found merit in the ACLU's argument that Brewer's policy conflicted with equal-protection rights under the Constitution. However, he denied a request for an injunction that would put the policy on hold. Brewer responded in September by expanding the ban to include all undocumented immigrants who receive deferred action for deportationthrough other programs, not just those approved for Obama's program.
The ACLU appealed Campbell's ruling on the injunction. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is expected to decide any day now whether to issue an injunction on Brewer's ban.
Others get licenses
Arizona has for years given licenses to undocumented immigrants with work permits. Data obtained by The Republic from ADOT through a public-records request shows the practice has continued since Brewer's executive order.
Wilder did not answer questions about whether Brewer believes those in deportation hearings with work permits have legal presence that meets the state law to get licenses from the Arizona Department of Transportation.
Most states issue driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants with work permits while their deportation cases are pending. The work permits are issued to certain undocumented immigrants in deportation proceedings who can show they have a legal basis to contest their removal. Only those who have been released from custody on bond or recognizance are eligible. The work permits allow them to support themselves until their cases are resolved.
Many are applying to have their deportation canceled because they have lived in the U.S. for more than 10 years, have no criminal record and believe their deportation would cause extreme hardship to a U.S. citizen child or other close relative.
The Republic found that since Brewer's order,the state has issued more than 10,000 driver's licenses or identification cards to immigrants with work permits. But it is hard to say how many of them were undocumented immigrants in removal proceedings because the data released to The Republic often lacked the specific code indicating the reason the work permit was issued.
The state was supposed to track the codes more closely since Brewer's order.
The Republic found the state issued more than 120 driver's licenses or ID cards to immigrants with work permits with codes indicating they were contesting their deportations. The actual number of driver's licenses issued during that period to undocumented immigrants was likely much higher.
ADOT declined to answer questions about the practice or provide any clarifying information about the data. "Because this is a case in active litigation, we cannot respond or provide an interview," spokesman Tim Tait said in an e-mail.
The federal government issued a total of 22,318 work permits to immigrants in Arizona in fiscal year 2012 and 40,249 in 2013, according to US Citizenship and Immigration Services. The agency could not immediately say how many work permits were issued to immigrants in removal proceedings.
Several immigration lawyers who handle deportation cases, however, said a significant number of work permits, likely several thousand, issued each year are to undocumented immigrants in deportation proceedings who have applied for cancellation of removal.
"I would feel comfortable saying that at least half" of the driver's licenses issued to immigrants with work permits "are cancellation of removal" cases, said Jose Peñalosa, a Phoenix immigration lawyer.
Former Senate President Russell Pearce, the author of Arizona's immigration-enforcement bill, said he believes Brewer's driver's-license ban should be expanded to include undocumented immigrants with work permits.
"You can't issue these legal documents to people who are illegally here," said Pearce, who was director of the state Department of Motor Vehicles in the late 1990s.
Expanding the ban, however, would likely create additional legal challenges for Arizona, said Tanya Broder, senior attorney at the National Immigration Law Center, one of the groups that filed a legal challenge against Brewer's ban.
A survey conducted by the center found that at least 38 states accept work permits as proof of lawful or authorized presence for the purposes of issuing driver's licenses. Additionally, two states, New Mexico and Washington, do not require immigrants to prove legal presence to get driver's licenses, including those in the country illegally.
"Why would a state want to deny access to a driver's license to people who live and work in their state?" Broder said. "Why not ensure they are tested, trained, licensed and insured? I don't see how it helps the state of Arizona to deny driver's licenses to people who are living and working in the state."
Can work, not drive
Edson Ayala, a 17-year-old junior at North High School in Phoenix, received deferred action in December 2013 but can't get a license. Ayala was brought to the country illegally in 2000, when he was 3.
His mother won't let him drive to school without a license. On days when his mother works a double shift, he waits at the school gate for the final bell and then rushes to catch an earlier bus and then the light rail to meet his 12-year-old sister and 9-year-old brother when they get home from school.
With his work permit, Ayala wants to get a job to earn money and help his family. But not having a license has limited his job search to businesses near North High School. Jobs farther away would require traveling by bus, which would take too long and limit the number of hours he could work, he said.
"You are forced to look for something on that main street your school is on," Ayala said.
Ayala said giving dreamers licenses would help not only him, but also the state because the 19,000 dreamers could contribute to the economy.
The practice of giving licenses to those in deportation proceedings and not people the government has said can stay seems backward to him.
"It makes no sense at all," he said.

No, you are NOT AmericansTuesday, June 19th, 2012
Below, you'll see the cover of this week's TIME magazine.
I'm sure everyone pictured on the cover are decent, hardworking folks who only want the best for themselves and their families.
But they are NOT Americans, unless they mean they are Central Americans or South Americans.
They are not undocumented workers. They are not economic refugees.
They are criminal aliens who have no respect for American law.
The cover, of course, is TIME's response to Our Dear Leader's proclamation that effectively offers amnesty to a million or more illegals who were brought here as children. It is a slap in the face to every young American and to every young person who is here legally. With the economy still swirling around the toilet, Obama just effectively told young Americans and legal immigrants, "Sucks to be you, but my political future is far more important than your economic or social stability. You'll just have to get used to all the criminal invaders driving down wages and taking jobs that should have been yours."
Honestly, I do feel badly for the young illegals. They were burdened with parents who put them in a terrible position by bringing them illegally to a place they should not be. But my feelings do not change the facts.
Criminal invaders calling themselves Americans is an insult to every immigrant who waited their turn and came here legally, my father included.
If TIME is willing to accept that those people on the cover are Americans, *Just not legally, then surely they'll support me in my contention that I'm a retired billionaire, *Just not legally, and cut me a check to make it true.
Hey, if the scam works for them, why can't it work for me?
So…what are you, *Just not legally?

Topic: Start a new app from an existing one
I have written a RoR application.
I would like to take the application and create a copy as a base for a different application.
What steps would make the most sense?
Do I just copy the whole app folder and then do a git init?
Do I delete the migrations and do a db:schema:load?

Adamiak hearing adjourned
ALPENA – A preliminary hearing for an Alpena Michigan State Police trooper accused of assaulting three family members with a gun has been adjourned to a later date.
Edward William Adamiak, 50, is accused of assaulting his wife and two sons with a gun, and faces three felony assault charges as a result, according to court files. He had been set for a preliminary exam Wednesday morning, but the exam was adjourned for now.
The assault allegedly happened on June 14 and the complaint was handled by an Alpena Police Department sergeant, according to court files. If convicted, he could face four years, a $2,000 fine or both for each felony assault charge, plus two years for committing a felony while posessing a firearm.
Adamiak was an MSP trooper assigned to the Alpena post, and joined the department in 1995, according to a release from the post. The charges he faces are the result of an off-duty incident, and he was suspended without pay when they were issued. He still could be penalized for violating department policy even if he's not convicted.
Adamiak is out on a $25,000 cash or surety bond, according to court files. The terms state he cannot have contact with the alleged victims, posess any firearms or consume alcohol.
A new date has not been set for Adamiak's preliminary exam, according to court personnel.
