Texas Gaffe Means No License Plate = No Problem

Every motorist in Texas is now exempt from photo tickets from speed cameras, red light cameras and toll road enforcement cameras, starting January 1st, 2012.
Texas legislature left a key provision out of the latest version of their Transportation Omnibus Bill that penalizes drivers for not visibly displaying a license plate on their vehicle, reports TheNewspaper.com. [BILL]
Once this bill becomes law, it cannot be changed for two years because Texas Legislature only convenes every other year.

 “Mercs May Run Air Missions on Afghan-Pakistan Border”

It’s unclear what kind of aircraft the State Department has in Pakistan. It’s also unclear whether State will help the Frontier Corps maintain its own aircraft or actually provide air support for the corps, a much more dramatic step. Either way, the department’s call for the “aviation adviser” comes at a time when U.S. generals accuse the Frontier Corps of helping insurgents attack U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

 The White House has tasked the Department of Homeland Security to provide a curriculum for what it calls “Countering Violent Extremism,” or CVE, “to be integrated into existing training programs for Federal law enforcement.” By the spring, Homeland Security will create an “online portal” to unite “government officials and law enforcement with communities targeted by violent extremist radicalization, which will be used to share relevant information.”

Not very impressed with iPad app. It's all about buttons, structure is unclear, doesn't provide any spatial intuition.
Looks neat but very much like the Pulse reader.

Reading notes on prebuilt aggregators being a hot new item make me smile like a Linux fan over a Microsoft release of something I've had for ages. That's what My Opera,Bloglines, Netvibes, My Yahoo!, Google Reader, iGoogle and more are all about - except you make your own choices which are collected online for you.You can even specify your own Search terms on iGoogle ! I annoy my family by using Facebook the same way.
