Emma Stone admits, Americans may have short memories when it comes to their nation's troubled history of race and equality.
Stone found herself learning just how extreme circumstances could be for African Americans living in Mississippi of the early 60s – just five short decades ago – when she took on a role in the film adaptation of "The Help," the popular novel by Kathryn Stockett that explores the unique relationships between white Southerners and their black household help at a critical juncture of social change.
"I don't know if it's my generation or if it's just me, but I didn't know the levels, the depths, the intricacies – I didn't know on a day-to-day basis what life was like [then]," Stone tells PopcornBiz. "I learned a huge amount through the story and through researching the time period more, but I really hope for my generation that they will go see this movie, because I don't know that we know as much as we should about our very recent history."
U.S. & World
Playing Skeeter Phelan, a recent college grad who returns who to find the beloved maid who helped raise her mysteriously gone and her attitudes about race relations now at odds with those of her friends and family, Stone said she could relate to her character's dilemma, caught between old loyalties and oppressive realities.
"Like many girls are as teenagers – like I was as a teenager and like I still am in many ways – Skeeter wanted to fit in with her friends," says Stone. "You don't want to have those hard conversations. You want to keep things amicable, keep things good…She wants to please her friends, even though she doesn't really agree with what they're saying. I mean, I have friends today that if we really sat down, there's a lot of things that I don't agree with them on, but there are some redeeming qualities that I can find in people that make me want to be their friend in some capacity. So I can relate to that, to wanting to be accepted and then finally having that breaking point where they just realize that they're just too different to ever get along anymore."
Stone found herself forming significant off-screen friendships with her female co-stars – the cast boasted a diverse array of actresses - Viola Davis, Allison Janney, Sissy Spacek, Octavia Spencer, Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard – that were each in a unique place in their lives and careers.
"It was an amazing experience across the board, life-wise," says Stone. "Telling a story that I was so proud to be a part of, getting to meet these women and getting to work with these women – It's really inspiring, and such a supportive environment being around all these women I was learning so much."
Despite all that she learned on set, Stone, 22, says she was never subjected to lectures from her more experienced co-stars. "I think that would be the most obnoxious thing in the world, if people were like, 'Let me tell you…Let me sit you down…'" she chuckles. "It's only when you seek it out, I think, that people are really willing to give advice. I will say that on 'Crazy, Stupid, Love' Julianne Moore, like any time she was in my vicinity I was like, 'Okay, if you could do this and you could do this, what…' and the whole time she was like, 'I don't want to give you advice! You don't care. You don't want to hear from me'."

A gun buyback program implemented by the Columbus Police Department will officially launch Monday.
Those wishing to exchange guns for a cash payment can go to one of four designated sites -- the Walmart parking lot, Townsend Community Center, Sim Scott Park and the East Columbus Gym. The first set of buyback dates are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.
The buyback was approved unanimously by the Columbus City Council Feb. 5 at the recommendation of Mayor Robert Smith and Ward 5 Councilman Kabir Karriem.
Participants in the program can anonymously bring guns to any of the locations and receive money in exchange for the weapon. Prices will be $20 for BB guns or air pistols, $100 for hand guns, $200 for rifles or shotguns and $300 for military/assault rifles. According to a clause in the city's motion, the guns will be destroyed.
"No one has to worry about selling the guns and putting them back in circulation," Columbus Police Chief Selvain McQueen said.
There is one exception, McQueen noted.
"We will run the guns to see if they are stolen and try to get them back to their owners," he said.
There have been 13 homicides in Columbus between 2008 and 2012, with seven of those taking place in 2011. Three of the homicides remain unsolved. There have also been 160 arrests for aggravated assaults with a firearm in the same five-year period according to statistics from the CPD.
McQueen said he hopes the program will help reduce gun violence in the Friendly City.
"I'm hoping this will bring the community together for a greater cause," McQueen said. "If we get through this program and we have collected one gun, it will have been a success in that the CPD and the city council took a pro-active stance on law enforcement. We have shed some light on a dark situation. This isn't a sting operation. We don't want to scare anyone away. We want to take illegal guns off the street and help get stolen guns back to their rightful owners."
McQueen's wish for a united community comes at a time when guns are one of the more divisive issues in the nation. The Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., left 20 children and six adults dead, not including the shooter, Adam Lanza, and his mother. In response to the shooting, President Barack Obama has implemented a series of executive orders regarding gun regulations. The executive orders include limiting ammunition to 10 rounds, requiring background checks even through sales from private dealers and reinstating the assault weapons ban, which was in effect from 1994 until 2004. The assault weapons ban was signed into law by then-President Bill Clinton. The Obama Administration has called for Congress to implement new laws to address gun violence.
McQueen says his department's program is not politically motivated, however.
"This isn't about gun control -- at all," McQueen said. "I'm certainly not giving up my guns."
While the program was passed by the council during an election season, it was introduced by Karriem in 2011 but no action was taken. It also contains a price tag of $10,000 which the council approved to allocate as purchase money. It will require the manpower of eight officers who will man the buyback stations in pairs for the three days.
McQueen said the officers will be used from different departments and their presence would not affect the day-to-day duties of regularly assigned patrol officers.
Gun buyback programs have become popular across the country though their effectiveness is debatable. In Detroit, gun sellers and collectors set up a space across the street from the police site and offered more money for the weapons. In Newport, Conn., almost 700 guns have been exchanged for cash. The Associated Press reports the city of Santa Fe has released the names of dozens of people who recently surrendered guns to police despite promises of anonymity. The city released this week to a city finance committee a list of people who got IOUs when they surrendered their guns at police headquarters after the city's gun buyers ran out of prepaid Visa gift cards.
The effectiveness of the program in combating gun crimes is also highly contested.
"I doubt the efficacy of gun buyback programs," said District Attorney Forrest Allgood. "They did that in Detroit and it's still one of the most dangerous places on the planet to live."
Rep. Gary Chism, R-Columbus, said he is also critical of gun buyback programs.
"I personally think it will increase crime and gun thefts," Chism said. "If thieves need some cash, they now know they can steal someone's gun and exchange it for money."
Chism is also critical of the city destroying the collected guns. In House Bill 1087, authored by Chism, municipalities would be prohibited from destroying guns as the result of a buyback program. The bill died in committee.
"The bill I had would prohibit cities from destroying the guns," Chism said. "There could be some rare guns that could be sold to collectors or dealers. The cities could also use the money collected from selling the guns to collectors to fund the program."

This Friday, I'll venture off into the mountains with my mother-in-law, 2 sister-in-laws, and a grandmother-in-law for a fun filled weekend cottage getaway. I love them all very much and genuinely count them as friends.. we all (with the exception of 'grandma') enjoy libation and star gazing in hot tubs and smoking good weed over a nice mindless comedy. We get along very well. That said, in the spirit of honest, open, respectful communication, the "God Talk" comes up quite often. It always ends in an 'agree to disagree' sort of stalemate.. but the plot thickens. My daughter, Veda, is 4 years old and the fact that 'her granddaughter is being raised in a house with no faith' profoundly troubles my mother in law. I love her and it troubles ME that she loses sleep over Veda's mortal soul. I am, in every sense, a good mama and I'm raising my daughter to think for herself.. to ask questions.. to find what makes sense and to draw her own conclusions as to the existence of God (in any shape, form, fashion, or flavor of faith). I've even gone as far as to tell her that she cannot say, at 4, that she doesn't believe in Jesus. I've caught a lot of hell about this from fellow non theists.. but.. I refuse to let her be satisfied with any belief (or lack thereof) based on what I believe.. i digress... um.. oh yes.. this weekend will lend itself, no doubt, to a heated debate about the hellfire and damnation that eternity has in store for me.. and for Veda. I'm frankly over the whole damn thing. From the fact that my daughter, at 3, dubbed the bible fiction because there were no dinosaurs on the ark... to the fact that doctors and lawyers fly planes into fucking buildings because their God affords them absolute permission AS WELL AS the promise of paradise for having done so.. and that those believers are, in essence, better 'followers' than their christian counterparts.. because they OBEY, in full, their sacred texts.. and christians simply cherry pick from theirs.. etc and so forth. Question: Can anyone suggest specific biblical passages that contradict one another? Perhaps passages that demean women? (as my MIL is a vehemently outspoken feminist). I need fresh ammunition.. not to decimate her faith.. which would be cruel, I feel.. but, rather, to help her understand that my obstinance isn't unreasonable. Thanks for reading this far. Any help would be appreciated.

..thank you for the concise links.. beautiful. ;-)
Sounds similar to a birthday party for my mother coming up: a captive party at a gated motor home retirement community. 4 days of food, politics(Why are you not supporting Romney?), religion, good food, and only a few people show up because my aunt and uncle did not think of the cost for the rest of us. My wife was going to go, but no dogs allowed(our puppies would not survive the bordom).
One way I get through such things is to keep my mouth full, have my computer with lots to read, and long nature walls. Sadly, none of these options can be indulged in 24/7.
..good luck with that super fun event. lol. 'mouth shut', unfortunately translates to "her ears MUST be open, so i'm gonna give it a go.." where my wine-drunken MIL is concerned.. I AM considering the idea of appointing Sam Harris' "Letter to a Christian Nation" as the official 'bathroom read' for the duration of the trip.. Who knows? It may work for you too.
I love my mother dearly, her turning 80, after being 76 for so long, seems like a milestone..;p).
My aunt and uncle helped plan two of my three marriages, inspite of everything, showing up seems the least of them. Anyway, I was hopping to rent their motor home for a weekend, one of these days...;p). LOL
..ah, the big 8-0 after the big 7-6. Thats quite a leap. My mother-in-law has been 42 since i met her. Mayhaps I should have the 'grow up' talk with her; gently reminding her that her eldest son will be 36 next month.. James Cox, you make me giggle.. Thank you for being delightfully asinine. ;-) Your mama did a good job with you.
I don't always that from folks. I am most likely over compensating here. LOL
I was asked to join a family, unrelated, in for a turkey dinner once while working for them. Sadly someone asked me what I 'did', and since I have been a rather issolated nerd, I did a full core memory dump, without compression. After about 8 mins, a little one, a young girl with mashed potatoes on her face, mentioned that 'you talk too much!' This seemed very true, at the time, and since their toilet was still not working, I finished my turkey portion, and made hast to the awaiting commode. Atleast the sink worked..;p).
Since, I try to confine my excess verbage to email, unless other, un-restrained nerds, are present. Asinine, guilty as charged.
You're not without faith, you just don't place your faith in a mythological magical sorcerer, but rather in the capacity of the human mind to discover the truth. And your faith is based on results, not hopes and wishes and prayers.
..ah, duly noted. I do not subscribe to BLIND faith of any kind.. but you're quite right; i am NOT, in fact, without faith.. Its quite sad to consider how empty and futile life without faith must be. Food for thought.. Thank you.
Well said sir....
Some would say as god intended.
How delightfully ironic.
..as god intended.. that's just... delightful. ;-)

In order to raise awareness about Adult Education, several local residents, along with their family and friends volunteered or ran in the Colfax Marathon.
They a ll ran in support of CAEPA (Colorado Adult Education Professional Association) which is dedicated to helping adult learners improve their lives and fulfill their dreams.
The Colfax Marathon is touted as Denver's ultimate urban tour and is also renowned as one of the country's largest Charity Partner Programs.
This year marked the first year that CAEPA members participated with the Colfax Marathon's Da Vita Charity Partners Program.
CAEPA's main purpose in participating in the marathon was to make sure people know about the need for programs that can help adult learners learn how to speak English, learn to read, or earn their high school equivalency certificates.
Volunteers at the CAEPA booth reported that several people stopped to ask questions about adult education and showed interest in volunteering at local adult education learning centers.
Cargill's Workplace Education and CAEPA would like to thank their sponsors who helped with the cost of t-shirts and some entry fees.
The sponsors and donators include Cargill, Bank of Colorado, Ehrlich Toyota, Mrs. Baerbel Merrill, Shirley Penn, and Rachel Nichols.
They would also like to congratulate and thank those who ran or volunteered at the Colfax Marathon.
5K included Chelsie Bennett, Brad Brashears, Kathie Ferguson, Burl Giffin, Greg Larsen, Josh Penn, Serena Penn, Amy Penn, Kevin Penn, Mary Spackman, Justin Thornton, Levi Thornton and Emilio Juarez Toledo, who is a Cargill employee and a Workplace Education student.
Half Marathon runners were David Giffin, Sarah Goss, Jeff Marcus, Adam Marcus, Vicki Milano, Alysse Milano, and George O'Clair.
The volunteers included CAEPA board members Shirley Penn, Jessie Hawthorn, George O'Clair, Julie Howlett, and Ann Leonard, teachers who volunteered: Shelli Crandall, and Jesus Marruffo.


text: Show Hide image Politics 26 March 2013 From Gethsemane to your back garden, life is full of betrayal Betrayal is not always a not always an act of malicious intent, or a sign of power. It can be a demonstration of weakness. Sign-up When you wake on a spring morning to thickly falling snow and violent wind there is that brief moment of, oh whiteness! and then the slow grip of betrayal. By now, surely, we should be watching the leaves unfurl and feeling the first warmth of the sun. There should be cut grass beneath bare feet. Tulips. Daffodils? An ability to go outside without gloves and an iron will. I look at the naked trees from my window and can almost hear them saying, well, sod this. It's as though the apocalypse has happened, not the one we were expecting – nuclear, life-eradicating, big bangs and flashes – but a quiet one, just out of sight or round the corner, and we're gradually realising that we'll never have seasons again, that heat is dead, that the flowers have taken a collective decision and resigned. Talking about the weather is tired and stereotypical, and yet at the same time oddly energising. There's always something to say. We have interesting weather! That's why we talk about it! You may laugh at our obsession in your hot countries, in your Mediterranean towns where you know the sun will shine for day after faultless day, where you can drink wine in the square and sit out under the moon, but here we are constantly bamboozled, endlessly surprised, always caught out by the brutal caprice of our bonkers, manmuddled climate. We go on buying barbecues and planning summer weddings like blind fools, raging against reality. We pretend we're having a nice time as the rain lashes through June. We lumber through winter and look forward to the hot days of August even though the last time we had hot days in August was in our warped and gilded childhood memories, when the summers were long and we weren't who we actually were at all, but pretty filmic versions of ourselves on a perpetual seaside holiday that we never had with a family that didn't argue, and picnics. Our weather betrays our expectations at every turn. But it especially betrays us in the spring, when life should be budding, the sky opening out. It's Easter after all: a rising again. But then Easter, or the days before Easter at least, are as much about betrayal as they are about hope, and so maybe this weather fits. As a kid, I always preferred Maundy Thursday and Good Friday to Easter Sunday, not only because I was gleefully morbid, but because the story was so much better. The resurrection seemed deeply suspicious – the empty tomb, Jesus blithely wandering around again as if everything was fine. But the run-up had everything – the superbly named Pontius Pilate, Romans, violence, injustice, bad guys, weeping women, a trial, the crucifixion, and Jesus's closest disciple Peter, as predicted, betraying his friend again, and again, and again. Of all the betrayals, it was the one that took place in the garden of Gethsemane that got me the most. Not Judas, arriving to kiss Jesus and prompt his arrest but the quieter betrayal of the three disciples who accompanied Jesus to the garden. Jesus was praying in the depth of night for some kind of reprieve, and having his very understandable moment of doubt at having to die for the whole of humanity. He'd asked his friends to stay awake while he wrangled with his fate but every time he came back he found them dozing like sheep. I felt for Jesus, obviously, but you were always being asked to feel for Jesus one way or another, and actually I felt more for his friends. I could imagine being that friend – struggling to keep your eyes open, even though you knew the stakes were high and someone had specifically asked you not to fall asleep. I could feel the burn of shame as they frantically, hopelessly tried to stay awake. But as Matthew writes in his Gospel, "their eyes were heavy", and we all know that feeling – when the urge to nap is so intense that it feels closer to suffocation, or drowning, a force beyond you not within. It's the smallness of the act that makes it all the more painful and poignant – all they did was sleep, but the petty selfishiness in submitting to that basic, natural urge is what colours it into betrayal. We associate the idea of betrayal now more readily with infidelity and adultery – Pinter's play of that title is about a husband and wife and her lover, the husband's best friend – but it is really the breaking of any social contract, any bond. The disciples had promised their friend that they'd stay awake, but they couldn't do it – something so simple, so insignificant. Peter's betrayal of Jesus at the crucifixion is far more pointed, not only because Jesus has already warned him of what he will do but also because of the consciousness of the act. Asked to choose between protecting himself and being honest about whether he knows Jesus or not, he chooses himself. When we read stories like this, we like to think we'd act differently, that we'd stick to our principles and sacrifice ourselves, but I'm not so sure. I think, more often than not, our instincts are to save ourselves. We too would sleep. In the Bible, betrayal is the twin of temptation. The phrase "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" originates from the Garden of Gethsemane – spoken by Jesus to his friends when he finds them mid-slumber. It's a fine expression, now repeated into cliché, that skewers the heart of what it means to betray – not always an act of malicious intent, or a sign of power, but a demonstration of weakness. I don't believe in any of it, of course, being entirely faithless and alienated from such burdensome concepts of sin. And yet, like any good story, there's some truth at work. More often than not our spirits are willing and our flesh is weak – we mean well but we mess up – and we usually end up betraying ourselves as much as anyone else. Still, that's what makes us human, and more interesting (even as we rail for the thousandth time against the damp and cold) than an earnest prophet who mysteriously comes back from the dead.

My goal is to move here permanently within the next year. I'll definitely be modeling but may also get into acting as well. I took a beginners acting class over the summer and it was both challenging and rewarding to do something a bit out if my comfort zone.

EVERETT — Alan Smith "savagely beat, cut and ultimately drowned" his estranged wife in Bothell in February, prosecutors wrote in charging papers filed Friday.
Smith, 38, was charged Friday in Snohomish County Superior Court with first-degree murder in the slaying of Susann Smith, 37.
Deputy prosecutor Craig Matheson wrote that Alan Smith carefully planned the attack and made "extensive efforts" to research and then clean up forensic evidence.
Susann Smith was found dead in her home on Feb. 12.
Autopsy reports indicate Susann Smith could have been beaten with a rubber mallet. The weapon hasn't been found. An ex-girlfriend of Alan Smith's reportedly told police he had a similar mallet when they were dating. Searches of his home and vehicles didn't find a mallet.
Bothell detectives obtained roughly 15 search warrants as they built their case.
Bloody footprints and shoeprints found at the scene reportedly matched Alan Smith's feet and shoes he had recently purchased, court papers said.
Smith was arrested in June. A local minister told police that the pair were friends. They were discussing the killing, and Smith told him, "Yes, I did it to her."
The conversation did not take place under any kind of confidential religious circumstances, the minister said.
The minister came forward after Smith didn't go to police as he anticipated.
Susann Smith was sleeping in the home's master bedroom when she was attacked, Matheson said in court papers filed earlier this year. She was beaten and stabbed and then dragged into the bathroom.
Her body then was placed in the bathtub. The killer filled the bath and held her under water. Water was found in her lungs.
An autopsy also documented more than 22 individual head injuries, including a fatal skull fracture.
Alan Smith is being held on $1 million bail. Matheson on Friday asked a judge to require that if Smith posts bail, he must post at least $100,000 in cash.
Smith has no criminal history. He's expected to be arraigned Monday.
He also has a pending Bothell Municipal Court case regarding his alleged obstruction of the murder investigation when he refused a judge's order to turn over his passport. The passport later was seized.
Charging papers describe Smith as "an extreme flight risk and danger to the community."
The couple was divorcing and court papers document a bitter custody battle.
The Smiths' two children, 3 and 6, were placed in protective custody after the killing.

The visitor from Kibbutz Ramot Menashe came all the way to Bnei Brak to tell her story to Rabbi Yitzchak Zilberstein, the rav of the Ramat Elchanan community.
A severe thunderstorm had struck the kibbutz causing severe damage to the duplex homes. Only one roof remained untouched by the storm. Although the other half of the duplex was hit, the part in which a widow lived remained unscathed.
When the storm subsided the widow's neighbors came to visit her. She told them that only a few days earlier she had decided to make a radical change in her life and become observant. One can imagine the impact of such an incident on a secular kibbutz.

By 1947 the M422A had become the G-1. This tried and tested design from WWII continued to be standard issue for the Navy aviator. In fact, it continues to be issued right up to present day - albeit more of a status symbol now than a functional piece of equipment.
It went through several spec changes throughout its history, but the basic design hasn't changed very much. The first version (spec 55J14) maintained the same quality of materials as its predecessor, such as; veg-tanned Goatskin for shell; rayon for the lining; mouton sheepskin for the collar; 100% wool knit with its unique 'rib & rack' weave etc, so this model G-1 embodies all the finer attributes of the M422A, which later models did not.
We have selected the 55J14 G-1 as the version most appealing to reproduce precisely for this reason. Not only is it the oldest version, thus having more vintage appeal, it was the model which was still being used in combat during its period of service - it was used extensively during the Korean war!
We have sourced the most amazing veg-tanned Goatskin, which has the same characteristics and weight found on the early G-1s. The tanning process of this hide is very traditional which produces a beautiful full bodied leather. Once fully broken-in this leather burnishes and moulds to the body and takes on that desirable vintage look that can only come from a such traditionally produced skin.
The real mouton sheepskin collar has been painstakingly matched to the original - deep Auburn Brown colouring with soft true 'mouton' texture. 'U.S.N.' is stenciled behind the collar (the 55J14 was the only spec G-1 to have this - subsequent versions having the initials perforated down the windflap instead).
The G-1 is an all-time design classic which suits many occasions - next to the A-2 it has to be the definitive flight jacket of all time.
Available in sizes: 36 - 48.
This garment is available with the option of having a TimeWorn finish. For more information about TimeWorn please see the link just below here.
Please note:
Choosing the TimeWorn option renders the garment non-returnable. Please see our Terms and Conditions regarding returns if you require further information.
NOTE: Jackets that are personalised with insignia, or that are Time Worn® (where Time Worn® is optional), are non-returnable
Please be aware this is only a representation of the final product. If any insignia is added to the product the jacket is non returnable.
If you wish to have a name tag attached to your jacket, you must type a name and select a rank for the order to proceed (See example here). Names are traditionally indicated by an initial followed by the surname.
Measure your chest over a T-shirt; it is helpful to get someone to do this for you. Do not inflate your lungs, just relax and stand with your arms out. The tape measure should be run around your chest right up under your arms and held snug, but not tight - this is your chest measurement.
Measure the circumference of your hand around your 4 knuckles (obviously do not include your thumb). Correlate this measurement with size chart below to assess your glove size.
Measure the circumference of your head.

It's with great pleasure that I announce JavaOne will host a Hackergarten this year once more. That's right, you did read it well, the name sticks, we're no longer renaming it to CodeGarten like last time ;-)
At JavaOne 2014, the Hackergarten has a dedicated space at the Java Hub in JavaOne exhibit hall, Hilton Union Square. The space has power, a private Internet network, white boards, and seating for 16. Attendees need to bring their laptops. You may stay as long as they want, from less than an hour to most of the three days. The format remains the same as other Hackergartens. Participants will contribute to open source projects.
The idea is to gather people around specific topics at the scheduled times. Topics range from Java SE, Java EE, JSRs, pretty much anything Java-related. Contributions can be production code, test cases, documentation, or simply a friendly chat in order to gather feedback. If you want to host a session (help people to work on an open source project), please contact me. The project page is here and will be updated as we fill out the schedule.
We are also running Hackergartens at other conferences. The following ones are already confirmed:
JCrete - Aug 25th (in English)
JavaZone - Sep 9th (in Norsk & English)
JMaghreb - Nov 6th (in French)

The story of an Ohio teenager who passed out drunk at a party and was sexually assaulted by two high school football players has captivated America because much of it is familiar. In urban, suburban and rural settings, the combination of teenage hormones and alcohol, often accompanied by other drugs, too often leads to unwanted sex.
So it happens everywhere, except the Ohio incident has some troubling differences that state volumes about our culture today.
In many cases, a victim with no or even vague recollection and evidence of what occurred remains silent � all the while enduring mostly whispered remarks, including the bragging of her assailants, about an incident she cannot remember.
Such violations have happened for years, but in this digital age, the bragging can be more immediate, and it can include photographs and videos, all disseminated via text messages and social media.
That�s shameful, but, ironically, the Internet and cellphone communication have the benefit of creating evidence that prosecutors can use. So it was with the Steubenville, Ohio, case, which ended Sunday with the rape convictions of the two high school students.
Trent Mays, 17, the star quarterback for the Steubenville High Big Red, was sentenced to at least a year in detention for rape and another year for distributing nude photos of a minor. Ma�lik Richmond, 16, a wide receiver, received a year for rape. Both could be ordered jailed until the age of 21 if they violate the terms of their probation.
The crime occurred on Aug. 12, during a wild night of parties in which Mays and Richmond repeatedly took advantage of a teen from nearby Weirton, W.Va., who was so inebriated that they called her �the dead girl� in text messages. Others chronicled the evening in texts, photos, and videos.
The 16-year-old girl recalls only waking up naked the next day in a basement room of a strange house with Mays, Richmond, and another boy. Mays told her he had taken care of her, but she later saw the photos and video. �It�s on YouTube,� she told Mays in a text. �I�m not stupid.�
Prosecutors said they reviewed 396,270 text messages, 308,586 photos, and 940 video clips. The case divided Steubenville into those who sympathized with the victim, and those who supported two boys who were part of one of the proudest institutions left in the down-on-its-luck former steel town � a high school football team that has won nine state championships.
This cautionary tale of young athletes on too high a pedestal may not be over. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine plans to convene a grand jury to determine whether to prosecute others who knew about the crime but didn�t report it. That may include the boys� coach, Reno Saccoccia.
Some teenagers said they didn�t realize they were watching a rape because it didn�t seem violent. Their comments suggest a critical lesson young people need to be taught before they find themselves in a situation where someone unable to speak for herself is treated so horribly.

PHOENIX (AP) — Tea party supporters voting in a straw poll at a national summit favor conservative Texas Rep. Ron Paul and Georgia radio host Herman Cain for president in 2012.
Cain won 22 percent support from the audience in Phoenix at the summit organized by the Tea Party Patriots. He was followed by Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Paul among those casting ballots in person.
Paul had the most votes overall, thanks to a swell of support from online voters. Between the two sets of results, there were about 1,600 votes. Paul gathered more than one-third of them.
Pawlenty and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin each had 9 percent overall. Cain, Paul and Pawlenty were the only three to speak at the three-day summit.

The Android permissions model is, to my mind, a goodly improvement over pretty well any of alternatives out there at present, in that it at least declares what capabilities any given application demands and expects you to grant.
Applications are unfortunately quite readily able to abuse this a fair bit; a (recent, as of August 2010) example being
Evernote, and Why You Need to Think About Permissions describes the problem:
The Evernote app requests a fair number of permissions. Some make sense, such as the INTERNET permission (kinda important for a Web service). Some are a bit dubious, such as needing both coarse and fine location data.
It definitely demands too much permission, with two cross-sections that are troublesome
- It asks for "the world" up front
- It asks for permissions it shouldn't need For instance, it shouldn't need access to contacts – it should merely offer to share data, which pushes data to a boundary where the user, at run time, can choose whether or not to allow the data out.
In addition, some of the permissions ought to be optional.
- If you want to record locations on your notes, then granting access to location data may be a reasonable thing to do.
- If you don't want to record locations, then Evernote doesn't need that access.
Unfortunately, at present, you don't have any of those shadings, your options are mighty binary:
- Grant Evernote all the capabilities requested
- Reject the access, and don't install it.
I suggest that there is another shading that would be useful, notably for INTERNET access (and probably also for filesystem access), which is to "tie down" what places the application can go.
- Evernote probably only needs to access
- Twitter only needs access to
- Shuffle (a GTD-like application) may access a domain of the user's choice to synchronize data.
- Web Browser needs the "wide open" Internet.
I expect that filesystem access could similar be tied down:
- A file browser (such as Astro) might legitimately access "everything"
- Most applications should be restricted to their own directory

DPRK, Democratic People's Republic of Korea:"North Korea, officially the Democratic People's Republic, is a country in East Asia, in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. The name Korea is derived from the Kingdom of Goguryeo, also spelled as Koryŏ. Pyongyang is both the nation's capital as well as its largest city, with a population just over 2.5 million. To the north and northwest the country is bordered by China and by Russia along the Amnok (known as the Yalu in China) and Tumen rivers. The country is bordered to the south by South Korea (officially the Republic of Korea), with the heavily-fortified Korean Demilitarized Zone separating the two.Over time North Korea has gradually distanced itself from the world communist movement. Juche, an ideology of national self-reliance, was introduced into the constitution as a "creative application of Marxism–Leninism" in 1972. The means of production are owned by the state through state-run enterprises and collectivized farms. Most services such as healthcare, education, housing and food production are subsidized or state-funded. From 1994 to 1998, North Korea suffered from a famine that resulted in the deaths of between 0.24 and 3.5 million people, and the country continues to struggle with food production. North Korea follows Songun, or "military-first" policy. It is the country with the highest number of military and paramilitary personnel, with a total of 9,495,000 active, reserve, and paramilitary personnel. Its active duty army of 1.21 million is the fourth largest in the world, after China, the U.S., and India. It also possesses nuclear weapons.""North Korea DPRK silvers & gold coins have been always sold out at International Numismatist Fairs & Shows, given its very limited supply circulating in the marketplace. Rarity designs do commands very strong premiums amongst collections, and its prices have been steadily rising across the years. In these recent period, the acceleration is much more pronounced given the isolation state of North Korea, and it possible changes that may happen in the non-too distance future. This is definitely a very strong investment category. Buy with Confidence!"

Billy Ray Cyrus is back with a catchy new single, "Change My Mind." Yet, some things truly never change. Twenty years after his breakthrough album, Some Gave All, Cyrus says he still approaches music the same way.
"I'm a hillbilly lyricist perhaps," Cyrus says. "I'll never paint the Mona Lisa, but I don't have any desire to. My thoughts and the way I write — it is simple and straightforward. And the music that comes with the songs — they are usually something straight down the pipe, representing something between my bluegrass, country and Southern rock roots."
During a visit to CMT, Cyrus chatted about infusing his new album (Change My Mind) with gospel and bluegrass influences, performing at Fan Fair in the 1990s and clearly knowing his role onstage. (No, he's not just a dancer.)
CMT.com: How does the bluegrass influence find its way into this album?
Cyrus: Well, they are going to hear that banjo roar. Especially in "Hillbilly Heart." And the title track and first single, "Change My Mind," actually opens with a banjo solo. For me, that is like, "All right, man! A banjo solo to open the tune! That's the way it ought to be!" Then it was just backed up by all the muscle of those guys that I had playing on the session. [Famed drummer] Kenny Aronoff was the backbone and the cornerstone of the record, and he built a really solid foundation to build the album on.
How did you draw on your gospel roots on this record?
I'll tell you where I show my gospel roots the most. I do just about every harmony. As a matter of fact, all the male harmonies on the album are me. My dad had a gospel quartet [the Crownsmen Quartet] and so I'll stack like four-part harmonies, then stack those and then stack them again. It's nothing for me to do 30 to 60 tracks of background vocals when you count "oohs" and "aahs" and all those things that come from my Crownsmen Quartet/Southern gospel sound. Combining that with that bluegrass element, that rock element, that straight country element and then grabbing those harmonies from that gospel sound — that's my sound. That's what I do — a little bit of all of that.
Did your dad's quartet rehearse at home? Were you around a lot when they rehearsed?
They rehearsed everywhere. They would rehearse at home. They would rehearse at the church, and they would rehearse at the steel workers hall. My dad died a few years ago from mesothelioma from working in the steel mill. All the guys in the Crownsmen Quartet worked at the steel mill. I can remember as a little boy just hanging out, and I always loved harmony. Looking back on it, "harmony" is one of my favorite words, and it's one of my favorite things to do. It's my favorite process of making an album. Once I get my lead vocals and several of the overdubs done, I'll spend days just doing harmonies.
I see that there is a new version of "I'm So Miserable" on this album.
Yeah, man! It was on that first album, and I just felt like everything was covered on this album except I needed a blues song. On Some Gave All, they went five singles deep on that album, and "I'm So Miserable" was never released as a single. And I just love that hook: "I'm so miserable without you/It's almost like you're here." (laughs) That is like the ultimate backhanded compliment. So we re-cut it with a different band. On that particular tune, I used half of Bonnie Raitt's band and some other guys that specialize in the blues.
The owner of the studio, one of the guys from Toto, had a blue studio. I had no idea that the studio was going to be blue, but it was painted blue outside. And I thought, "What a great day to cut the blues, man! A blue studio — and I got a blues band!" They went in there and said, "What are you going for?" I said, "Man, just take it as close to Stevie Ray Vaughan as you can come." Robert Cray's guitar player was in there, and he tore up all that Stevie Ray Vaughan stuff. I think I got a really unique cut. It's a tip of the hat, saying "Thank you. Thank you so much. We're all still here. Let's sing the blues."
What was Nashville like for you in the '90s? Not your career necessarily but the city and the industry.
I remember when Fan Fair was Fan Fair! And it was at the fairgrounds. People were packed in there! They were hot and sweaty! But, man, that was Fan Fair! Sitting out there and doing the shows at that racetrack and fans being right at your face! Walking through those exhibit halls! That was Fan Fair. For me, that is still what this town and country music is about — the fans.
You seem to enjoy collaborating. Do you like to feel that energy flowing in the room?
You know me very well. Of course I do. Yes! I feel things. Sometimes I wish I didn't because I probably feel too much, but I feel what people are feeling. So I think somehow that's part of what I do. I try to feel what people are feeling and express it through the music. That's one reason why I love making live music so much and love touring so much. When the audience, the band and I can become one, I live for that feeling. It makes me feel like that's my purpose.
People always say, "Oh, you're a dancer. You were on Dancing With the Stars. Didn't you invent the 'Achy Breaky' dance?" I had a little something to do with it, but I'm not a dancer! I'm the singer, and I think that is what makes a dance hall work! Somebody has got to be the singer and somebody's got to be the dancer. I'm the singer. I know my place. I love to sing and watch other people dance, and that's what makes the world go round.

Teak, the Vancouver police dog who was stabbed Friday night while tracking an armed robber, was allowed to go home with his handler on Sunday.
Teak had emergency surgery for a neck injury early Saturday at Canada West Veterinary Specialists and Care Hospital in Vancouver said VPD spokesman Randy Fincham.
Sgt. Scott Hogg said Teak and his handler, Const. Derrick Gibson, were searching for a man last seen at the Esso gas station at Fraser Street and Marine Drive, where an attempted robbery took place around 7:30 p.m. Friday.
Teak tracked the man to to 52nd Avenue and Main Street and knocked him to the ground. But before police officers could move in the handcuff the man, Teak was stabbed in the neck.
"A struggle ensued where the (suspect) was actually slashing the dog. (Officers) thought he was punching the dog, but he actually had a knife."
The 20-year-old man is expected to face charges of attempted robbery, assault of the police dog, and weapons charges.
Hogg said Teak is a beloved member of the police family, and when he was taken to the animal ER Friday night many off-duty officers went to the hospital to show support.
It is not yet known whether he will return to police service after his recovery.
The VPD canine squad has stab-proof dog vests, Hogg said, but at certain major incidents, such as a hostage situation or police standoffs. The vests are very heavy, he added, and it's not practical for the dogs to wear them at all times.
"The vest in this instance wouldn't have helped the dog because it covers the major organs and body parts and it wouldn't cover the neck part where he was injured," said Hogg.
Teak, an 85-pound police dog who will be eight in March, has been injured in the line of duty before. Two of years ago, Teak was beaten up by a suspect during an arrest, taking multiple hits to the head and body.

PHILADELPHIA - With just three exhibition season games remaining for the Flyers, the most significant decision coming out of training camp should be made within the week.
Specifically, what are the Flyers going to do with all their extra defensemen?
As the club was back on Wells Fargo Center ice for a practice Monday, there were still 10 defensemen with varying amounts of NHL experience still in camp. They range from longtimers like Kimmo Timonen and Hal Gill to veteran newcomer Mark Streit to hoping-to-be-healthy vet Andrej Meszaros to last season's surprising fill-in rookie Oliver Lauridsen.
In between, there is Erik Gustafsson finally appearing ready to become a full-time big-league player, while veteran Bruno Gervais still seems to be straddling the bubble as a 'seventh defenseman.' Then there are Luke Schenn, Braydon Coburn and Nick Grossmann, hoping to stay healthy and form a core of what management believes is a defense with both experience and willingness to create offense in the transition.
Whether or not that plays out remains to be seen.
For openers, 10 is at least two too many when it comes to Flyers defenders. Lauridsen, a 6-6, 235-pound specimen, came up from the Phantoms last season during a rash of defensive injuries and offered stability while playing 15 Flyers games. But he's likely ticketed back to Adirondack for the start of this season.
Gustafsson started out there last season because he was injured, and was sent back at one point after he started playing to get his game together. He wound up by season's end to be one of the Flyers' better defensemen, one with an offensive bend.
It is because of Gustafsson's development that it seems quite possible Meszaros' $4 million salary cap hit might be considered a cut-worthy expense.
After a solid first season with the Flyers in 2010-11, injuries limited him to 62 games in 2011-12, and only 11 games in the lockout-shortened 2013 campaign. Meszaros also got a bit of a late start on training camp this summer, all of which devalues him from a current trade market standpoint. But he insists he's healthy now and looking forward to playing in the remaining preseason games.
'I feel great,' Meszaros said. 'I talked to the doctor and the trainers and it's all good.'
That said, the Flyers will have to find a way to circumvent the cap, as they're currently about $1.44 million over the $64.3 million maximum. Perhaps they can temporarily demote a young player like Sean Couturier to get compliant at the start of the season, then maneuver Chris Pronger's salary to long-term injury in order to bring Couturier back again the day after the season starts.
Or more likely, they'll make a move where they have extra bodies.
Even if they move one of their higher priced veteran defenders, it doesn't appear the Flyers could sign Gill to a contract. The 38-year-old is still here on a tryout basis, and might be hoping his performances in another exhibition or two can convince another team to sign him. Then there is Gervais, who hasn't done enough to win a secure spot, either, though his is a friendly $825,000 contract.
But after seeing so many injuries help shoot their defense down last season, you have to pardon the Flyers for being hesitant to get rid of any defenseman still capable of standing up on skates.
'Last year, we were beaten up pretty good there on defense,' coach Peter Laviolette said. 'We were missing a lot of guys. It's good to have that depth. I think that these final games and evaluation will push the slotting and push the decision-making on who makes the team. I don't think there's anybody that has had a poor showing, which makes it a little more difficult, but those decisions will be made and we still have exhibition games to play.'
Because of their significant cap hits, both Meszaros and Coburn have been mentioned in trade rumors, something Meszaros says he doesn't contemplate.
'I'm not thinking about anything except going out there to play and focusing on the game,' Meszaros said.
More specifically, he'll aim to get his game back on track again.
'I was never at a point where I'd say I doubted myself that I'd never come back or something like that,' Meszaros said. 'It was just bad luck ... there was nothing I could do about it. So I tried to focus on my rehab and look forward to when I'm healthy and when I'm going to play. Now I'm ready and healthy and can't wait to start.
*** Claude Giroux figures to see his first action of the exhibition season tonight when the Flyers host the New Jersey Devils. Rapidly recovered from finger surgery in the offseason, Giroux has been a full participant in practice. 'Every day it's getting better,' he said. '...Today I felt really good and was able to battle a little more. I get frustrated a lot because I like to make plays I can't make right now. But like I said, the progress is going very well and there's a lot of time left here.'

Rays' grueling road trip about to reach an end
BOSTON -- When the Rays board their flight to Florida on Sunday morning after Game 2 of the American League Division Series, it'll mark the end of an emotional two-week, 5,631-mile journey -- a trek so long, in fact, that it's hard for some of them to remember where it started.
The trip began late on Sept. 23, after Tampa Bay had completed a four-game sweep of Baltimore at Tropicana Field. The Rays set out for New York, where they swept the Yankees and were on the other side of Mariano Rivera's memorable final appearance. Then it was off to Toronto, where two losses led to a must-win Game 162; and Texas, for the must-win Game 163; and Cleveland, for the must-win AL Wild Card Game; and, finally, Boston, for the ALDS.
"I was thinking about that. It's almost like you forgot about the New York part of it. It's like you started in Toronto," manager Joe Maddon said. "I also believe that you get to these games and you're so 'here' that you don't necessarily worry about that. Like [in the] regular season, if it's June, [you think], 'God, we've been on the road. How long have we been on the road?'
"But it's been so much exciting energy, and this has been fun stuff, man. So I haven't worn it like I think I would have worn it a couple months ago."
Speaking of wearing it: Maddon has only had to add one shirt to the luggage he brought when the team set out on this trip. Perhaps fittingly for Maddon, it wasn't out of necessity; it was about finding a combination he liked.
"I could have gone another direction, but I wasn't satisfied with the pairings as I had them left. It was all about matchups," he said, smiling. "I'm just telling you the truth. That's exactly what happened."

Life in Christian County, Kentucky... More About Trees and Plants...
Virginia Bluebells are blooming profusely along the banks of Little River and the little streams that are its tributaries. The moist soil and dappled shade of the river banks are perfect for them. The blooms in the photo above are on plants that are 18 to 24 inches tall. They are beautifully, strikingly blue.
I'm fairly sure of the identification of this flower. It looks very similar in leaf and flower to the Wild Pink (Silene caroliniana var. wherryi) in my Guide to the Wildflowers and Ferns of Kentucky. The problem with that identification (according to my guide) is that Wild Pinks aren't supposed to grow in this part of Kentucky and they're not supposed to bloom until May. Also, these are purple, not pink. The USDA PLANTS website agrees that they don't grow in Christian County.
These might not have been wildflowers originally. They might have been planted as garden flowers and now they have gone wild because they like where they are living. They are growing on the riverbank behind a woven wire fence.
The little white flowers below are Spring Beauties (Claytonia virginica,) I think, judging from their leaves, their flowers, and their habitat. If I am correct in my identification, it's a member of the purslane family and a relative of the moss rose.

These storm surge water depth animations and envelope of high water still images for famous hurricanes show the modeled storm surge using NOAA's SLOSH (Sea, Lake, and Overland Surge from Hurricanes) storm surge model. The color-coded images show the water depth at each grid cell in the SLOSH model domain. Thus, the images depict the storm tide (the combination of a hurricane's storm surge height above mean sea level (MSL), plus an extra adjustment for how far above or below MSL the tide was), minus the elevation of the land surface (if the grid point is over land). The difference of the tide from MSL is shown at the bottom of the color legend. For example, the Hurricane Katrina simulation was done assuming the tide was 2.5 feet above MSL. SLOSH output is shown every half hour for the animations, and wind barbs showing the hurricane's wind speed and direction according to the Standard Station Model are superimposed on each frame of the animation. The envelope of high water images show the maximum depth of water that was simulated at each grid cell during the entire model run. The water did not reach this maximum depth simultaneously at the grid cells. SLOSH model runs are advertised as being in error by plus or minus 20%. SLOSH is the primary model used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It is also the basis for Hurricane Evacuation Studies (HES). The SLOSH Display Package does not make storm surge simulations available for a number of famous storms, such as Wilma and Rita of 2005, so you will not see animations for a number of storms that would be interesting.

Access EEO Is the Law Poster

Mr. Speaker, I am happy to speak today in support of the bill introduced by the member for Berthier—Maskinongé, which would amend the qualifying period for individuals during a labour dispute. As it stands now, workers who are involved in a strike or lockout that lasts 52 weeks will not receive EI premiums during this time and will not therefore qualify for extended EI benefits.
The whole point of workers contributing to the EI program is so that when a person loses his or her job, he or she can access these funds. However, as the system currently stands, far too many people cannot receive EI even though they have paid into the fund.
According to Human Resources and Skills Development Canada figures, more than half of unemployed workers do not have access to employment insurance because they do not qualify under the current rules. The NDP has put forward a number of bills to amend the current EI system to ensure that it offers proper support to everyone who has paid into the system.
For example, Bill C-242, introduced by the member for Acadie—Bathurst, would increase the percentage of income claimed through employment insurance to 60%. Bill C-244, introduced by the member for Nickel Belt, would remove the waiting period for EI benefits. Bill C-280, introduced by the member for Algoma—Manitoulin—Kapuskasing, would, among other things, lower the threshold for becoming a major attachment claimant to 360 hours.
However, I welcome the bill introduced by the member for Berthier—Maskinongé, which addresses another major flaw of the employment insurance system. The NDP is committed to working with other political parties to support legislation that strengthens social security policies in Canada, and I would like to congratulate the member for this bill. Why should workers who are involved in a strike or lockout not be covered by employed insurance?
The right to strike is an important one and, as it stands, people are penalized for exercising this right. Employers have the right to lock out workers and are not penalized by the government for doing so. Yet if a union votes to go on strike, it is penalized by the government through the flaws in the current EI system. In fact, as it stands, the government penalizes workers if they are locked out by their employer and it penalizes them if they go on strike. The government seems to support a lose-lose situation for workers.
In Sudbury, over 3,000 steelworkers at Vale Inco have been on strike since July 13. Today is the 126th day of that strike. Every day I speak to people affected by the strike: workers, their families and friends, small and local businesses in Sudbury. All these people want is a fair deal from Vale Inco.
Think of the consequences for Sudbury if this strike went on for a year and then these people were laid off. There would be over 3,000 people who would not only lose their jobs but also the employment insurance they paid into throughout their careers. There would be 3,000 families who would struggle to pay their bills and put food on the table. Think of the effect this would have on Sudbury's economy.
It is not just my riding of Sudbury that would be affected. Communities all across Canada are suffering. In Ontario alone, there are five more labour disputes currently taking place. At CEP Local 2003 in Toronto, 61 members were locked out in June by their employer, Cadillac Fairview, and then terminated one month later. At CEP Local 37 in Timmins, 95 members have been locked out by their employer, Grant Forest Products, since September 2006 and have walked the picket line for 39 months. At USW Local 271G in Erin and Cambridge, 44 members have continued to strike against Guardian Fibreglass Inc. since June 2007 for 29 months on the picket line. At USW Local 1-500 in Brantford, there have been 75 members on strike against ECP since August 2008, or 15 months on the picket line. At USW Local 9511, there have been 590 members on strike against DriveTest since August 2009, or four months on the picket line.
What is worse, as if the economic crisis had not brought enough hardship to these communities, is that many companies are using the situation for their own gain as to cause them to renege on agreements they made in the past. It is downright shameful. So many are using this economic crisis as a justification to roll back and renege on collective agreements. Workers should not be punished twice for standing up for the rights and benefits their brothers and sisters worked hard to obtain. This bill would fix that.
This bill would allow the extension of the EI qualifying period beyond the stated limit of 104 weeks for workers affected by a labour dispute, so that the extension of a qualifying period could equal the duration of the period of unemployment caused by the strike or the lockout.
This bill, if passed, would also be deemed to have come into force on January 1, 2008. This would mean that labour disputes which are affected by the current economic climate or brought on by companies exploiting the economic crisis for their own gain would be retroactively covered by this bill. It would also mean that members of the United Steelworkers Local 6500 in Sudbury would also be covered by this legislation.
This bill is not just about fairness for the workers on strike, it is about fairness for the communities they come from. One thing is certain, strikes do not just affect workers, they affect entire communities.
If 3,000 workers lose their salary and their EI benefits, it is not just 3,000 families that will suffer, it is the entire community; small businesses that rely on these workers and these families to spend their money; restaurants; and local charities. I will use the United Way in Sudbury as an example. It relies on the United Steelworkers in Sudbury for a significant portion of what it raises.
Entire cities will be affected. With a decreasing tax base, it means less revenue for cities, which is less funding for city infrastructure, services and so on. Families will break apart and parents will move to new areas to find work with no support networks.
As the representative of these workers and the citizens of Sudbury, a city that has been hurt deeply as a result of this strike, I am very proud and glad to voice my support, and will be voting in favour of this bill.

- Can you drive with an SR-22 on a suspended license?
- Can I still get a motorcycle license if my driver's license has been suspended? After my driver's license has been re-instated, do I have to get SR-22 insurance?
- Do I need an SR-22 if I received a DWI? I had full coverage insurance when I got the ticket. Also, do I need this for an essential needs license?
Can you drive with an SR-22 on a suspended license?
Can I still get a motorcycle license if my driver's license has been suspended?
Do I need an SR-22 if I received a DWI?
How do I get an SR-22 without a valid license?
Question: My license is suspended. I've been told that to reinstate it, I need to get insurance and file an SR-22 form. I am wondering how to get an SR-22 without a valid license? It seems like a Catch-22 in that I can't reinstate my license without insurance and to get insurance I need a valid license.
Answer: While auto insurance companies normally require you to have a valid driver's license in order to obtain a car insurance policy, they do make exceptions because there are situations when getting the license is dependent upon having insurance.
Car insurance companies that will file an SR-22 are aware that many times the state must receive this certificate of financial responsibility before a license will be reinstated. For this reason, they will allow you to start up your policy and give you time to get your license reinstated.
Typically, car insurance companies will allow you up to 30 days to provide them proof that you now have a valid license. If you fail to get your license reinstated within the given time frame, then your car insurance policy will be canceled. You would then have to start the process over by obtaining a new auto insurance policy and having a new SR-22 filed so that you can try again to get your license reinstated within the given time.
So, while it seems strange, you should get your car insurance policy in place first.
Make sure the insurer knows you need the SR-22 and files it for you. Many states have insurers file electronically now, so the SR-22 is processed quickly.
Next, go to your state's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to get your license reinstated. You should confirm with your car insurance company after the reinstatement that they have received in the information showing your license is now valid, or else your policy and SR-22 may cancel out, which would result in your license being suspended again.
If your car insurance policy cancels out during the required SR-22 period (normally three years in most states), your car insurance company will file a SR-26 that shows the cancellation, and this signals the DMV you are without the required auto insurance coverage, so your driving privileges are taken away until everything is back in place.
When you get a quote with CarInsurance.com, answer "yes" when asked "Does this driver require a financial responsibility filing?"
Can you drive with an SR-22 on a suspended license?
There are insurance companies that will allow you to obtain an SR-22 as long as you get your driver's license reinstated within 30 days of your insurance policy's inception date, or as long as you acquire a hardship driver's license within that same time frame. The SR-22 certificate of financial responsibility does not give you the right to drive on a suspended license but is typically something you must obtain in order to get your license reinstated or at least get a hardship license until you can regain your full driving privileges.
Driving with a suspended license usually comes with severe penalties so we would advise against doing that. Instead, try getting your license reinstated, which may include getting insurance and a SR-22 filed by your agent for you. A hardship license can be obtained in many states if you cannot get your full license privileges back yet. Remember, a hardship or occupational driver's license typically only allows you to commute between home and work.
Can I still get a motorcycle license if my driver's license has been suspended? After my driver's license has been re-instated, do I have to get SR-22 insurance?
State laws differ in regard to whether a person with a suspended driver's license can get a motorcycle license. Some states will allow you to have a motorcycle license while others will not allow it while your main driving privileges are suspended. States, such as Maine, have the motorcycle license as an addendum to your regular automobile license so it would be unlikely that you would be able to get it without a valid driver's license.
As for the SR-22, some states require an SR-22 when a license is reinstated while others will not. You will need to check with your state's Department of Motor Vehicles. The DMV should also be able to help you find out if you can get a motorcycle license while your driver's license is under suspension.
Do I need an SR-22 if I received a DWI? I had full coverage insurance when I got the ticket. Also, do I need this for an essential needs license?
This may vary from state to state. But, in general, you will need an SR-22 if you failed to comply with your state's financial responsibility law at the time of your DWI. "Full coverage" is a term drivers often use to refer to physical damage coverage. Physical damage coverage consists of collision and comprehensive coverage. (Generally, collision insurance covers damage to your car caused by a collision with another object. Comprehensive insurance covers damage to your automobile from vandalism, theft, flooding and hail and animal strikes. And, most lien-holders require physical damage coverage if you are financing or leasing your vehicle.) Chances are your state will be looking to see if you were covered for certain limits of bodily injury liability and property damage liability at the time of your DWI. An "essential needs" license is typically called a "hardship" or "right to work" license. Again, this may vary from state to state. But, in general, if you need a "hardship" license, you will need a SR-22.

Waite Park
Waite Park neighborhood, in the city's northeast corner, is bound on the north by 37th Avenue Northeast, on the east by Stinson Boulevard, on the south by Saint Anthony Parkway and on the west by Central Avenue Northeast. The neighborhood is named for Edward Foote Waite, judge of the District Court of Hennepin County from 1911 to 1941.
In 1887, the city incorporated most of the land in the neighborhood. By that time the railroad had built a large repair facility, the Shoreham Yards. The facility is still in use, but the land it's on is expected to be redeveloped. Waite Park is a mainly residential neighborhood.
