		<description><![CDATA[Salem will soon have red light cameras installed, Portland has had them for some time. A sense of outrage about the practice is building momentum, to the dismay of bloated bureaucracies that have come to depend on Oregon’s drivers as a cash cow. It might come as a surprise to learn that the timing of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By the end of the writer’s strike, authors had triumphed against media conglomerates and raised awareness of intellectual property. The goal was securing rights for digital media, but the withering vacuum of content also signified the power wielded by the pen. From thefreelibrary.com: For Thomas Jefferson, the pen truly was mightier than the sword. From [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Volt is the unit of electric potential difference or electromotive force, named in honor of the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta (1745–1827), inventor of the first modern chemical battery.

And more news, the Tesla Whitestar, due in 2009, will have two options, totally battery-powered or as a gas-electric hybrid configuration known as REV for Range Extended Vehicle.

Alas, the heroes of yesterday have ridden into the sunset, and who will take their place?
