San Francisco - Gift cards for guns
2007-12-01 20:51:00
I dont think many of the people that we WANT to give their guns would actually be the ones giving their guns -- but it is still a good thing to do this I think for sure.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A man carrying a semiautomatic handgun approached a group of San Francisco police officers Saturday afternoon and, with a smile, handed over the pistol in exchange for $150 in gift cards. "I ...

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The United States won its first Davis Cup title since 1995 behind a convincing doubles victory Saturday by brothers Bob and Mike Bryan. The Bryans cruised to a 7-6 (4), 6-4, 6-2 over Russia's Nikolay Davydenko and Igor Andreev on ...

Hurricane season ends quietly - Thank goodness!
2007-12-01 17:00:00
We have really been lucky recently! Hopefully it stays this way for some time. Seems like the most recent acts of nature have been earthquakes... idk.
Dec. 1--Not a piece of wood in Destin went un-knocked as the final days of the Atlantic hurricane season flew past. Destin and the Gulf Coast have been spared again as the storm season ended quietly Friday. Destin City Manager Greg Kisela ...

Hmmm... the weather is nice here...
2007-12-01 16:08:00
I am confused - I thought it was supposed to be stormy as all hell here in southernmost Washington - but at the moment it is really quite nice. But as the Oregonian states - this storm has lost some power, but is yet unpredictable. JB is making fun of the whole thing. ...

Northwest: 'Monster' storm loses its kick...
2007-12-01 14:39:00
This is good if the storm will be more mild - but hey - its still up in the air... literally.
The good news about the "monster" storm rapidly approaching the Oregon coast — bearing what might be hurricane-force winds — is that it appeared to lose some of its steam Friday. The bad news is that it became more unpredictable in the process.
2 pm : The weather is really quite nice here on the S. ...

Oprah is really pushing Barack...
2007-12-01 14:24:00
And why in the world shouldn't she push him even harder? This could be incredibly revolutionary and possibly what the black community needs to see. I dont blame her one bit. Then again - I am voting for Barack. Maybe. 90% sure.
BACK in 1992, the Bush White House deemed Oprah Winfrey’s daytime talk show insufficiently serious for the incumbent president to visit. But in the intervening years ...

The Google wireless battle...
2007-12-01 13:47:00
I am a HUGE fan of Google - I am slightly biased when it comes to things Google wants to do. So obviously I am anxious for Google to enter the wireless field.
Things are really heating up though. Google is taking on the big boys who already have a grip on the wireless market. They just officially announced on Friday:
Google said on Friday it would apply to bid in the U.S. Federal ...

2007-12-01 13:25:00
This guy is nutzo - and Venezuela is loving every second of it.
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Hugo Chavez urged supporters to approve constitutional changes that he said could keep him in power for life and threatened to cut off oil exports to the United States if it tries to meddle in Sunday's vote.

On closing fareless square...
2007-12-01 00:39:00
Wow... so there was an interesting article that Jack B mentions about Trimet 're-thinking fairless square'. Not a very good thing to hear in my opinion.
Eliminating Fareless Square, putting ticket turnstiles on MAX platforms and increasing police patrols along the light-rail lines are among the ideas being discussed at a series of safety summits sponsored by TriMet.
Being new to Portland - I ...
