You have my heartfelt sympathies...and those, I suspect, of thousands of other families, who wonder "what went wrong?" when a sibling goes--as they say--sideways, before plummeting downward.

Same home, (often) same parents, same time in history, same schools, same food, even.  Doesn't matter.  Those around him or her make it, one way or the other, and are reasonably happy, but one...just...doesn't, often without even the momentary success Peter enjoyed.

The young man I consider the brightest, most talented individual in my BCIT broadcasting class in the late 1960s, was, less than a year after graduation, wearing a hardhat and steel-toed boots as a member of a highway paving crew.  A short few years later, he was dead...reportedly by suicide.

What happened?


Who care about the motives of David Duke. The question is why did he not win the election. Hint, had nothing to do with democrats. While were in the Q & A, lets ask, why were the slaves freed, who drove the civil rights bill to completion. Same hint!

NOW! Who pushed Jim Crow laws, who blocked the civil rights bill for a decade. Who supported segregation, who required black to drink from separate fountains? Hint. Not Republicans!


Trump chafes at some of the retired Marine Corps general’s moves to restrict access to him since he took the job almost a month ago, said several people close to the president. They run counter to Trump’s love of spontaneity and brashness, prompting some Trump loyalists to derisively dub Kelly “the church lady” because they consider him strict and morally superior…

Meanwhile, people close to the president said he is simmering with displeasure over what he considers personal disloyalty from National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn, who criticized Trump’s responses to a deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville on Aug. 12. He also has grown increasingly frustrated with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who has clashed with the president on issues including Afghanistan troop levels, the blockade on Qatar and Cuba policy…


If you are posting all the way from Kansas, by chance, thanks for your interest, but we in Oregon are going to have to solve the problems we have created here before we worry about what is happening in too many other places.


The cop was clearly wrong and is an embarrassment the nurse was right the point is you don’t fight on scene you let the system figure it out and it worked.


As someone who gave no notice, order in a pizza or KFC or Swiss Chalet for her.


that's nice. Unfortunately the damage has been done. The constitution has been discarded and trampled on. The government does not represent Canadians


Certainly points toward a financial motive.


Educational institutions and other public places should be kept free from all religious influences period. Please follow clear policy of no appeasement of any religion.

Didn't realized you were suffering from progressive psychosis, sorry!


What about the risk of injury to your unvaccinated children posed by the disease itself?  The risk posed by the vaccines is infinitesimal compared to the risk posed by the disease.  Furthermore, by refusing to vaccinate your children you add to the risk of losing herd immunity.  That isn't a risk the rest of us should have to accept.


Better that your untreated TDS apparently...


We now begin to see the outlines of the fast emerging fascist state of America.

Trump"s WHOLE life is a lie ,
the incoming lies are equal to the outgoing lies.
Trump is a lie and a liar,
of the lowest kind.


thanks for letting us know that Trumps support among Republican women is rising! Anything that the ADN or any media today says is false. It is easy to put two and two together, what with 24/7 CITIZEN reporting and CITIZENS commenting. Americans see the charade that the Clinton/MSM is trying to foist on them.


I agree that this institution is changing to be in tune with the 21st C but when the process is completed, will it still be a "Church"?


When you can't understand others comments you devolve into personal insults and trash talk. Gratefully, your sociopathic behavior is still unaccepted among polite society. Your condition is simple: arrested development.


4:20:  I hope you have a lot of available time.  With each day and Mr. Trump's latest gaffe, being an apologist becomes more time consuming.  Doesn't it also get at least a little embarassing? Could you convey a simple message to him for me:  "DONALD, IF YOU DON'T MEAN SOMETHING, DON'T SAY IT."  Following that one simple bit of advice could save him from repeatedly making a fool of himself and save you from having to, time and again. offer some very weak excuse for his comments.  ...Don't you think this is a helpful suggestion?   regards, Gary


In fact he once wrote (in his memoirs) "emphasis by repetition gains acceptance for an idea,"


You have to admire the extreme level of hate in leftists.


Why can't the US Navy open it's books and publish what really happened.  I think the Navy and/or DOD or NSA owe the survivors an explanation.  If the Navy cannot do this simple task then the word "Cover up" comes to mind.


The Government is just using this heated Market as an ever juicy opportunity as a chance  to get their teeth into some succulent  wealthy  Asian  Money and massage the argument that they are actually doing us a favour. Come on people do not blindly assume this move by the government is good,In fact this just creates  out Government to be even a bigger trust fund Baby and rob the fund for Doing nothing. Its actually pretty sick the government  opens the door to foreign  investment  creates the environment  then says they are going to do something please give me a brake . I am  a local who was born in Toronto to encourage the government to tax foreign  money is ignorant. Remember the Chinese have become rich  because of Globalization  in Which Western Countries sold you out in the 70s,Yes it sucks but the Asian people now have the money and you don't because of historical sell outs and you are now poor for it. When in actuality the money is finally returning ,just not in the form u like


What did Tom Hanks say at the end of Toy Story 2?


He's the same as our Justin, just not ready.


Seen his actions had no effect on the election as the general public despises the press.


There's an obvious solution to this problem- increase teachers' salaries and benefits. But, in all seriousness, poor math students equal future Liberal voters. So, perhaps, our government knows what  it is doing.


The American bombings of the civilian cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was cowardly. At least when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, it was a military base which had a chance to defend itself.


So much intolerance. "Drone Man" is stalking and harassing. I generally go with the belief that character is destiny. A man who feels he has the right to stalk, harass and control others? Um. That person's character will likely lead him into a few other altercations...This isn't the way to handle things, Portland.


Will they loose there shirt, or will they just miss out on adding an extra million to their conglomerate coffer?

If the city is going to allow someone to get away with having nasty blighted property they need to open all their books to a fine tooth comb to prove they would really loose their shirts.

Contrary to the sob stories most of these properties are not owned by some guy who was laid off and who is upside down on the property just trying to make ends meet.

Why would anyone stand up for conglomerate slum lords?


Gussuk,  I am never bitter.  You obviously are. And envious too.  Now what are those things that are handed to Natives on a silver platter?  I'll bet you can't name one.


This was not a "Darwinian moment" - merely a reality check  .-)
Loose some weight, a minor issue ... sharks like lean meat  .-)  Now THAT would be Darwinian  .-)


Is this the same Mark Levin who opposed the President and thought Clinton would be a better choice than Trump?

Amtrak gets some 40 cents per passenger mile in federal subsidy.  Roads and commercial aviation get around 1-2 cents per passenger mile.

The State of Oregon subsidizes Amtrak to the tune of $16 million/biennium; while Greyhound, Bolt Bus, and the numerous other ground transportation providers are forced to compete with ODOT/Amtrak, don't receive any subsidy; and have to pay a wide assortment of taxes.

If motorists had to "pay their share" in Oregon - nothing would change.  If Amtrak patrons had to "pay their share", nobody would dare ride the train.  Too many people complain Amtrak is already too expensive, even though they don't come close to paying the cost of operating the train (nevermind the cost of borrowing money, capital investment, depreciation, etc.)


The State constantly takes money from one group of citizens and gives it out to the benefit of different groups of citizens!

That is the whole purpose of State Government!

Take from the rich and give to the poor!

If you are paying taxes, you aren't poor enough to qualify.

Sorry about that!


I think the group of people in question is pretty small.  For one thing...the percent of people in that income group is small...maybe 2% or 3%.  And most of that group is planning and preparing for retirement.  The remaining few know what to do but don't have the willpower to do it.  Too bad for them.

Now why not write an article about how someone successfully prepared for retirement?


First John looks at Gross Sales of Gasoline i.e. including exports (not covered by the carbon tax) instead of the far more relevant and inclusive numbers of Net Sales of Gasoline + Net Sales of Diesel also included in the data table. Result:

2012->2015 Change in Gross Gasoline Sales: BC = +17%, Canada = +4%  - John's 6% is wrong
2012->2015 Net Gasoline+Diesel Sales: BC = -1.6%, Canada = +2.1%

Next he picks 2012 vs. 2015 instead of 2011 vs. 2015 the full scope of the data set to analyze a policy that was initiated in 2008. Adjust Date Range Result:

2011->2015 Net Gasoline+Diesel Sales: BC = -11%, Canada = +.1%

The other major problem is he compares BC to Canada. This is a problem BC is part of Canada you need to compare BC to the rest of Canada to do a cross region comparison to normalize things like say the great recession that occurred during this time period.

2011->2015 Net Gasoline+Diesel Sales: BC = -11%, Rest of Canada = +4.3%


Hmm, never see a feral bunny or a wild bunny. Once saw three bunnies some idiots had as pets and then dumped out on my road. The last time I saw the bunnies they were flying away.......eagles and owls loved them, better eating then feral kittens and Norway rats.


Well crime isn't down, so do more, do something different, do something besides write a report about how crime may or may not be up or down!   Only someone not wanting to admit crime is up makes sure the report indicates that. Get tough on crime, get tough on drugs use and most importantly  get tough on manufacturers and sellers of drugs. Publish the arrests, take PFD away from felons, let us know when you bust the idiots. We are trying to find a way to justify crime isn't going up, great system we have, tolerance for crime. The mayor himself told you don't be out past midnight, that isn't enough to see we have a problem? Next time he speaks, he may say 11p, then what?  Lock your doors while you eat dinner?  Some already do I bet. Some will admit, some won't, we have lost  neighborhoods to crime already in Anchorage, kind of wrote them off, without saying it.  Stop giving in and take this city back. No more excuses or blinders.


SS is not meant to be your primary retirement income. It is meant to supplement it. Like everything else, if you can't see beyond your nose, you will pay later.


You are a Martian Troll!


Charles Blowhard.  Thanks for your faith in the new prez. Like all anti Trumpers, he isnt even sworn in yet and you and your ilk have already sold him down the tubes. The NY Times is such a liberal, biased rag that it couldn't report a damn thing accurately and truthfully, if the editors lives themselves depended on it.


I have little argument with MSW's notion that we are a dogmatic religion, because I do not believe that doctrine is in itself a bad thing.  Every human organizing structure has them, be they called dogmas, rules, guidelines, bylaws, expectations or laws.  But there is, for sake of this discussion, a real problem with Catholic doctrine that is the cause of so many leaving the Church, or (much healthier in my book) staying and discerning what doctrines are useful and not.  BTW - it is what has been going on for the entire history of the Church and St. Peter's hasn't been consumed by hellfire.  The Catholic Church, through its centuries, has created such a mess of its doctrinal anthology, made it so complicated that even theologians are challenged in deciphering it, and refuses to even review those that are clearly absurd and pertained to a certain ancient time period, as if every word was written on Mount Sinai. Most of it is man's doing, for man's satisfaction and not for God's purpose.


From the FTA in December 2016 regarding the recovery plan:  ". . . the City and County must continue to advance Plan B sufficiently in the event that they are unable to obtain additional financial resources."  I guess the message HART is sending is they're pretty sure one way or another, they'll get their money.  Forget any concerns about cost overruns or the fact that there's still no plan to pay for O&M.  Just push it on through.


Still, Carlos likely doesn't use either/or and isn't in position to favor pads. We have different preferences in my own household and I expect the big world of women also has preferences.


but then the law means nothing to you -

you make things up as you go along


Strange that after 2 days there hasn't been any further detail from any media outlets... especially when one of the women was shot in the initial raid, you'd think there would be something to talk about.


Lawyers are the only winners here.


Texas  is  a failed  society,  according  to  some  minor  idiot  on here?  Perhaps  he  could  comment  on  Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit,  etc. Ran into  the  ground  by  democrats  and  hoody  wearing  killers?


That is, it should acknowledge reasonable counterarguments and alternative points of view.  Of course there's no need to address flat earth theory or piece of junk science.


Anyone who doesn't have enough intelligence to keep their damning emails from getting hacked by the Russians has no business running for POTUS, let alone getting elected as POTUS.   The Donkey is a very fitting mascot for the Democratic Party.

I think we can all agree that the only hope for the DNC is to run Mad Maxine Waters or Nasty Nancy Pelosi in 2020.  I can hardly wait to watch Rachel Madcow cry again on national television.


The article doesn't mention how far to term the girl was, but we know she was not in the 3rd trimester. Calling a fetus or an embryo an "unborn child" is disingenuous and reflects neither scientific nor moral realities.


How does CNN get into all your posts?


If you're influential and busy as a bee, you probably don't have the time to scan all information sources. So if you will, consider:

It could be that the authors are asked to suggest reviewers and these turn out to be friends or the authors themselves under fake names.

That money didn't go to Trudeau. As far as I know, he has no involvement with that law faculty and no access to the funds in his father's foundation.


So he doesn't trust the Canadian Voter?
This guy is worse than Hillary Clinton and her deplorable comment.


Cassie....it's true that CA is a powerhouse but those other coastal states and major economic centers nationwide that contributed to Clintons popular vote are also helping defray the Trumpies...

It has been suggested that just maybe we need a huge dose of the Trumpies to appreciate collectively as a nation why they are so undesirable....that in a way we have gotten spoiled thinking that clean air, clean water,environmental concerns worldwide,  Medicare and health care for the poor, civil liberties, the needs of the poor, the immigrants et al are values that we can take for granted.....this election clearly proves how wrong that thesis is...(Obama in France recently made the point that we can't just take these issues for granted because things have gone well in the past....)

And sadly I think we, as a nation, are going to learn the very hard way....and so many here and worldwide are going to be hurt. As will the environment be terribly impacted....


Over the years in Hawaii, the courts have been tough on lawsuits against developers for "broken promises". There are usually disclaimers in sales documents, condo registrations, maps, and drawings or in the final contract. There are also practical issues involved in enforcing rulings against the developer. If a developer has had to change its plans for financial reasons, it is not likely to be able to afford restoration of the project to original scheme or to pay compensation or damages to the buyers.


A plague on both their houses, as far as I'm concerned.  I dislike O'Leary but let's find out what's going on before resorting to name calling.


I guess Kim Rues comment stands as a ok. So then, barack obama should never have been elected the fcking president, he is a creepy dictatorial POS. I hope he and sally jewell rot in you know where! This is an appropriate comment I believe, as Kim Rue has also spoken his mind, and his comment on Joe was ok by AK Dispatch standards. Thank you for letting me speak my mind freely. If the prez, bo,  had his way, we would not have this freedom. We would all be government drones.


semantics. s=began as citizens but the point is that every resident should be the owner of all our resources.

Trump has now admitted sharing "facts" with the Russians, something that was vehemently denied yesterday by Tillerson and McMaster. Tillerson lost his credibility a while ago. McMaster was pushed in front of the press yesterday because he was the last person in the White House who could be trusted, and now his integrity and reputation, built over decades of service, are in ruins. His choices are to resign immediately or to swallow his pride and hang on, hoping that the 25th Amendment will be invoked soon.


"Canada" is not addicted to fentanyl. Particular individuals are. You can try to negate individual responsibility by invoking group blame. Unsurprisingly, that doesn't work. As long as people aren't encouraged to accept responsibility for their actions, and the remedy is expected to come from outside the individual, the problem will not, and cannot, be resolved.


EVERYTHING is too difficult for Susan Collins, especially  being a U.S. Senator.


How is that desperate?


"Does this argue for the elimination of the Eastern Catholic Rites?"
your comment illutrates the needto differentiate between latin or Roman Catholic and the universal Catholic Church.
The NO Mass has no application to the Eastern Catholic churches.  We have our own liturgies.


Maybe the Chinese own the Globe too.   Who knows what to believe anymore with Mr. Selfie and crew.


Sorry, you already burned that bridge.


What BC do you live in?  Carbon tax has been effective at getting Lower Mainlanders to beetle over to Blaine Wash. to fill up their gas tanks, maybe. Everything that requires transportation becomes more expensive.  Everyone pays.


Rather, the quotes should go around "accomodate Vatican II reforms".  Now that anyone can go online and read the actual Vatican II documents, we can see the iconoclasts used Vatican II as an excuse to destroy what previous generations' blood, sweat, and tears built up and  left us. No one can point to a Vatican II quote saying tear out the altar rails.


Great question.
It does not make the news because we MSM is scared it would be seen as islamophobic.


The first step to a solution is to admit you have a problem.

"United States Comes in Last Again on Health, Compared to Other Countries"

"The U.S. spends more on health care than any other country, but what we get for these significant resources falls short in terms of access to care, affordability, and coordination," said Commonwealth Fund President Dr. David Blumenthal.

The weaknesses predate the 2010 Affordable Care Act,

I looking for a home in Alaska but I am going to wait until the Trans Alaska Pipeline shuts down so I get buy property in Alaska at pennies on the dollar!

Maybe you will sell me your home when you leave Alaska. Maybe then Alaska oil workers will help make Alaska great again and drill baby drill!

If you drill and find oil and produce it then you can own oil otherwise you don't own it, do you understand the oil business?


I feel stupid in written debate with you as you raise things I've never heard of (feel as if I live under a rock). Molehill stamping? (don't know what it means) but I guess it means I'm acting stupidly or some such thing. Straw man - this label was applied liberally during 2011 and 12 on various forums. For me it boils down to doing what comes naturally and logically without understanding epistemology like you clearly do. As an unscientific, molehill stamping, straw man builder I'll simply focus on my own references for what feels right or wrong and continue to do what I have since January 2011.

It appears that there is not one thing that I've said or written with which you have even a slight inclination to agree. I respectfully (sans any sarcasm) concede that I can't find any common ground with you and based on the last few days have no cause to believe I ever will. I'm dumbfounded (you probably have a label for that state too) that (in your view) I can be so wrong all of the time.


Was just down at the Library. I think both are working now.


Actually I am quite nice. I am very self-aware. And I am Native. Indigenous people have lost strength and culture because of their dependence on "big government" as you put it. It is a type welfare cycle that has to be broken. Our tribal governments have a great deal of financial resources that benefit a few - the "it's not what you know but who you know mentality." It is time for our tribal leadership to step up and lead our people and protect our people as our ancestral chiefs did.


Interesting article and subject. And, the pictures worth tons of experience in dealing with the large amounts of "stuffs" our country's processing plants deal with. The scope, content and magnitude of those wastes are not easily visualized by the public. Few know what they mean.
The farmer in this article has done his homework, and seems to have something of great use in the public good. If his facility were to go out of business, the public would ultimately pay the cost of cleanup. An appeal for public funds could include those costs as avoidable through the farmer's project, but would need open minds to preclude it being viewed as a threat. Think Willows Run GC, and UofW Bothell.
We all would have been better off if Scott Paper, so many years ago, would have had Mr. Visser's foresight and concerned actions about what was left for the City of Everett to deal with at the Port decades later.
Am pleased with the Stillaguamish Tribe and others foresight in being involved. Thanks to them!


Pure chaos and a total break down of society will occur. Be careful what you wish for.


I provided 4 from across the spectrum. Unsurprisingly all of them disproved the point you made.   Since I didn't make a point other than say your source was wrong and biased you can't possibly argue that it argued against my position.   Thanks for trying though I usually expect better from your arguments.


It's been a waste? Citation needed.

Hey Keolu... these are your lies not mine. What I said is the truth...


I had a similar experience with him and the charges were outrageous. Very, very large ego!


Sneaky rat editor is pulling some crap on me. Here it is:
What the...did I pick up the wrong paper? An article not bashing America on the opinion page? I declare that a first in this paper's history. There's always a dig against patriots somewhere. I think it's part of their disguise, they have decided to try to pose as objective reporters? Ha. I'd help. I would write a letter to the editor, but he won't print it. It's not his fault, I just can't write any such letter without starting with,"Dear miserable @#$!! traitor rat%%^#! What can I say, I loath an America hating commie rag.


Most expensive cellular carrier out there. I guess they have to pay thousands of lazy union workers. LOL


Virtue signal received by fellow "liberal media" commenters.


We did not return their assets, because if that were true, they would have been returned in 1980 under the Reagan administration. Instead the assets were used to bribe Iran into compliance, which is not happening.  Iran's nuclear program is continuing to develop as it was before.


What happened to all the old comments?


Does Trump have any idea how many millions of people around the world are laughing at him nonstop?


Likewise the conservative seem to be unable to answer the same questions.  The difference is Watters will chose which responses to show the viewers.  If he was truly interest in presenting the fair and balanced, the FOX mantra,  than he would take the first ten people on the street and ask them the questions and show all ten responses.  I assure you I could easily ask 20 people the same question. Then by choosing three those whose answers support my views I would prove my point.


I live in the borough about a mile outside the Soldotna city limits. I live on a dirt road (with potholes) and neither my nor my neighbors properties have addresses........ So what was your point?


CAEL....I genuinely think that pretty much no one even cares about this meeting...except those attending. This is highly "skippable data".....


That's the lamest excuse that someone like Hillary can come up with after her defeat. Democrats (and a lot of the Liberal media around the world) just underestimated Trump. Plain and simple.

Nothing more pitiful than a sore loser.


Yesterday, Morneau said the economy created 450,000 new full time jobs in the last year.  He also said the avg Canadian income is $45,000 per year.
btw, this year's deficit of $23 billion has very little to do with new infrastructure.  OR that $23 billion divided by $45,000 equates to 511,000 avg Canadian incomes.  Yet next year we will have the debt and interest pymts to pay back.


A great column.

Small quibble with "Coptics, an Orthodox-Christian group," - there are Catholic Copts.  Majority are Orthodox, including the ones who were targeted on Palm Sunday.


Intolerant liberals here calling others intolerant.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.  The sooner we rub it out of Western culture, the better.


Hot on the trail of a baby moose


Raised... I can't speek to what "something" tells you as that seems to be a personal issue that can only be worked out by you. But I can say that I believe my dad's tears were brought on by the lost and scared look on the faces of the children in the news interview. I think it brought back those feelings from his youth. I can't imagine what he went through. I don't think the fact that a 90 day ban on refugees from these countrys was going to save us from totalitarianism ever crossed his mind.


When I was a computer science student 15 years ago at UofT, computer science was predominantly male (25% of female students sounds about right), and top of the class was even more predominantly male. Back then, graduate schools were focused on recruiting female students to help the field become more diverse, so it's not the lack of opportunities.

 If I fast-forward to today, about half of the female computer science students I knew left the field, largely because the opportunities in the fields they left for were better.

 From what I here, there is less computer science students now that there were 15 years ago. Where will all these female CEO's come from?


They hate us anyway,  there is no "now Trump made it Worse"  They hate us ...end of.


More Americans work at Arby's than in coal mining.


Steeler I did not mention muslims, I am concerned about the crimes committed by all aliens.  And in some areas it may be cited as an epidemic. Search MS13 and see what is happening with that immigrant group.  Largely settled in the area by Obama letting in the supposed "teens' crossing the southern border. The heartbreak to the families of the dead high school students by members of this gang. You can say omg to those families but it won't bring back the victims.


So sorry for this mishap.  Peace and prayers to you and your family.

Bernie should try to get a doctor in Vancouver or sit on the waiting list for essential medical treatment.
Frankly, i am not sure which of the two is the worse, but neither the US or the Canadian system is working well.


It's not merely a difference of opinion, but one of several ongoing attempts to return "ambient" white supremacy to its former status of "official" white supremacy--like that preached by Teddy Roosevelt without apology or prevarication because it reflected the fundamental nature of this society. The US is and has always been a white supremacist nation. It's social, political, economic, legal and educational institutions are inherently white supremacist. Most white so-called "liberals" can no more hold a conversation outside the limits of their ideological talking-points with a black or brown person than a "conservative" can tolerate being disputed by one. An "honest conversation about race is not allowed" because most white Americans don't want one. The very idea threatens their illusion that they're "the good guys". That's why the first thing they do when someone points out the enduring white supremacist nature of their institutions is to howl "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY-cist"!!!


Comey did lie. Comey said he never wrote other memos after meeting with another President, not true. Comey admitted writing a memo after meeting with Bush, in a book by Barton Gellman. We also now know why James Comey wasn't interested in finding who was leaking government information, because Comey, himself was leaking.

All this about the Russians hacking the election all happened on Obama's watch, and yet some how a candidate had something to do with it, how? By talking to someone? Who's responsible work computer security, Federal and State governments regarding an election? If we are to believe James Comey there is nothing we, the government can do to prevent the Russians from meddling in our affairs, that is a poor reference as to the direction that country has gone.


If you barely graduated HS you shouldn't waste your time in college.


the MSM acts like no one read the podesta emails, we all know how badly the bias runs
even today,the wapo is reporting that trumps numbers are down in their latest polling,they fail to tell anyone that they only polled 23% gop in their poll,they had 35% dems and approx the same number of independents
they purposely under poll trump supporters and then act like he is losing his base.


I won district championship while at North in two forms of debate, extemporaneous speaking and impromptu.    I suppose we like to do what we are good at.   I thought this would be fun and I wanted to get to know the community better.     Instead, I think I've gotten a very sour side of Eugene and missed out on those that go about their lives doing what they love.

My problem is that I love developing arguments.   It gives me something to think about, it drives me to look at new resources on the internet, etc.    A real debate has rules as well as a declared winner. (a real consequence for what say).    Those that are entertained by petulant insults, or find mocking other people funny would lose badly in debate.

Now that's I'm working full time, I spend far few hours on line, often evenings after talk has slowed.   That's probably a good thing for me.


Approving it and getting it built are two entirely different things. I doubt this approval by her friend in Ottawa will be enough to save Notley.


The approval was by a slim margin. Hardly a majority. The city messed up on the cost estimate because I remember years ago Cliff Slater of HonoluluTraffic.com mentioned at one time the cost being $6.4 billion when the city was saying around $3.5B.


Actually, Muck, I prefer to hear all sides, even yours.  I might not agree, but I at least want to hear it.  Long ago learned no one has a monopoly on being right.  However lots seem to think they do.


After making the outrageous suggestion that the Kim regime is even remotely concerned about protecting the Korean people, just how is calling you a DPRK apologist an insult when you clearly are one?

As for “If the poster had an argument they would have used it”, you must have conveniently overlooked the first sentence of my post: “History has clearly shown that the biggest threat to the people of North Korea are the Kims”.

BTW, how’s the weather in Pyongyang these days?


Reasonable decision by the Court, although it would never had been challenged in the first place if the previous president had issued the order.  Bottom line hasn't changed.......anyone entering the US with intent to harm have lots of other entry points


The Democratic party of today is like Abraham Lincoln's Republican party with its social outreach and actions.  Lincoln cared for every person and had deep conscience and concern for the welfare of the nation.


Yeah, your limited education, ...that's not an 'ad hominem' attack.

That was simply a factual statement.

It's not an ad hominem attack to point out simple, clear, evident, verifiable facts.

(...continuing education opportunities are available to you, take advantage of it,

…it can only do you good.)


I doubt you have 30 pine trees in your yard.  Possibley white spruce.


This just confirms to vote for Trump - we have NO chance with Hillary


Another Royism.


Khadr is a now great hero to many Muslims who live in Canada. He confounded America and now Canada. He will be a guest of honour in every mosque he visits and a role model for young Muslims in their quest for jihad.


The man's heritage isn't an issue; not at all.  He's in prison for one reason and one reason only - he broke the law.  It doesn't matter your heritage, nationality, ethnicity, gender . . . break the law - go to prison.   Screw up in prison, go to solitary.  Simple!


Indeed it is a Canadian topic, but oz as you would know, and Canada, are very similar, and lived in Canada for some time, I can't help drawing a comparison on social issues like this one. Maybe Canada is more progressive than oz, afterall Multiculturalism is one of your greatest exports, and if the legal dope regime works out, maybe we'll stumble down that road as well. As for the ''riot''--tongue in cheek mate. No Australian government, federal or state is that brave.


Democrats absolutely need to get over it.  They lost.

Instead of crying about it, they should work on how to defeat him in 4 years.


I would think that anything that a Liberal government does would be Liberal. I would say of Harper's period in office:

"Conservative fiscal ineptitude.
Not surprising from a Conservative Gov't."

Harper's fiscal performance was even worse than Mulroney's


So we have "democratic marches" protesting against the results of a "democratic election".  This will only help to ensure that Trump and his deplorables stay on for 8 more years, not 4.


I don't watch propaganda films.

In my universe the police are bettered armed than the civilians. Of course that's not the way it is in the Smith and Wesson co-prosperity sphere.


Where do you get that the reason he became non-competitive was his "lavish" lifestyle?  Per the article he lost $1.7M in contracts this year because when he tried to hire just Americans he couldn't get the work done and it was poorer quality.  A seasonal small business can only exist with repeat customers and stable contracts.
Landscape firms have an average profit margin of 5% to 7%.  As labor is the largest expense, just how much do you think he could raise wages before he would have no customers and be out of business?


"At one time, fairly or not, women were seen as more intuitive, sensitive, protectors of virtue and honestly, helping to control the baser instincts for power(money, sex, violence) that many men show. I think we've lost some of that balance. But there's no reason that men can't change their behavior(more empathy), if we expect women to change theirs." Thats about the one thing agree with you about. I hold men including my son responsible for their actions. Men are responsible for their part in getting women pregnant but i am not willing to make men responsible for women who choose to excluded men from the decision when they do get pregnant. We either come together and make both people responsible or let women have complete responsibility which feminism has taken from men and put on women. You just cant have it both ways in my mind. If its your body your choice then you accept responsibility. We need to teach people self control and not do what thou wilt.


The village idiot.


Why doesn't he question all the missed tackles?


Knew a lot of car guys in my younger days, when I was a car guy.  Great guys, but none of them would have made good priests.  They had some interesting posters and calendars on their shop walls.  Know one who still wrenches on old bikes and his '65 Mustang.  He also likes to plant flowers...


Christian's better wake up, sharia law will have your heads


John your basing you post on the best  possible-maybe scenario. Spending the money is a real expense not a maybe scenario.  The $ 400 billion over 25 years is a best case scenario. However you left out all the other possibilities including building the line and never having it operate at a brake even.  You can invest all your money but you alone don't get to chose how others invest theirs. I ask why industry is not jumping into the act rather than staying away?

At this point the actual cost for the line is still being presented as an engineering guess. Considering how often these "guesses" are significantly under actual cost the rates of return you site can change substantially.


Oh, that's original.


Comey:
Leaker
Hypocrite

Showboat


And to tell you the truth, I'm not even sure what "uniting" means.  If the man proposes something that I can support -- even partly, I will support it.  I cannot support his proposals merely because he is president.  There were things that Obama said and did that I did not like and there was MUCH that happened during Clinton's administration that I did not like or support.
I think that the initiatives of this administration have so far been horrific, and we can talk about specifics, if you like.  I cannot support the Health Care proposal, or the proposed budget, or the sudden bombing of Syria (which made no difference anyway, except for using up fuel and ordinance), or any of the other things that his administration has proposed or done.  If he were to propose what I consider to be rational immigration law reform, I would support it in a heartbeat.


You're mistaken sir. The NRA doesn't arm anybody. It is the nation's oldest civil rights organization and it works to protect a Constitutional right from those who seek to erode and dismantle it.


You're focusing on the wrong thing, Jeff.  The problem isn't one of changing what people think, but what they do -- like murder innocents doing nothing more offensive than indulging in practising their faith.


Get your own account, quit trolling someone else's account.


Considering the first sentence that I received via e-mail, it's not hard to see why it didn't make it through.   Disgraceful.

Apparently, you have also determined not to listen to your candidate - her speech is one that even I, someone who dislikes and mistrusts her, can appreciate and hope that people like you pay attention to.


Knock knock...who is there? President Donald Trump for the next 8 years SUCKA...LOLOLOLOL


$2 million is far short of what should be required in bonding. Make that $20M, close up all the holes, & get PEBBLE the heck out of there.


Do you remember when the US wanted to sell De Russey for millions, to pay down on the national debt?  And do you remember the State of Hawaii said that that land was taken for reason of defense...and since it was no longer needed for that purpose, it should be returned to the State of Hawaii?  It still, however, remains in some capacity as military, and there stands Hale Koa...the place for R&R of our warworn troops and their families.  So it remains military property?
So what is the citizens protesting...it gets blurred with the who, what, or why of citizen chatter!


Women of color? What color, white?


As soon as Winnipeg gets an NBA team I'm sure they'll be more than happy to cover it.


They are also extremely anti-Catholic, so it is quite amusing to see them defended by our rank and file right wing Catholic wing nuts.


Many start ups need capital.  The issues underlying gender gap issues extend to venture capital.

Pre-Bush2 semi-auto ban.


Tacoma only sells because of the logo on the hood, worst midsize there is.  But as we all know CR would never properly report, after all it's a Toyota.


Ha Ha  Well I think taxes ARE specific.  And I agree, paying taxes IS patriotic.  It's how we (the US) pay for everything.  I don't agree with all taxes, but that's not my job.  My job is to pay the taxes appointed to me by elected officials. Just because I don't like who got voted in or what they decree, doesn't mean I don't "have" to pay those taxes. I do and I do. America rocks!!! I learned later in life, the more I pay, the more I get back as a senior.


a talented Economics journalist, maybe.... nothing more. Apart from being fluent in Russian and having some Russian friends, I fail to see any diplomtic skills on her part.


Doug

I agree. Catou and I don't agree on many issues, but there was nothing I saw uncivil about his comment here.

I would not have replied to his comment if I had.


How about a hug?


Most people attribute leadership to Lincoln and most people know Lincoln was Republican.   The only thing that matches your 95% number is the level of your personal paranoia.

The majority of Republicans also signed the Civil Rights laws as well.  The attempt to block poor voters and specifically black voters that lean Democrats originated with Bush Jr's(Carl Rove) insight into leveraging the white Evangelical South for voting strength.    The party capitalized on the mostly unspoken bigotry toward blacks in the South and wrapped their intentions in self-righteous religious cloth.

Now the pretense is dropped and the alt-right becomes the center of Republican politics with their very own President.  I have hopes that Republicans of good will and high ethical standards will continue to push back toward the party of Lincoln.


My God opposes evil. Some incredible evil is located in some foreign countries. I would say North Korea is one of those, and not a new one known for that either. Everyone is just upset because they read the word Trump.  That word seems to do that, dunno why.


Canada is back


And how do we do Arctic intercepts if our fighters are based in the UK?


Xavier,

Do you have any facts to back up your claim to the future Councilman's "thug" status?  I think Mr. Stoehr's victory says more about he current state of Springfield politics.


80% success rate.....I guess the military is happy with that?.....but shouldn't we be worried about the 20% failure rate?  So North Korea fires 5 missiles and one will get through to Hawaii.....assuming they can aim the darn thing.


I do NOT like Sales Calls or unsolicited phone calls either.  They are the one of the worst things about electronic devices.  The Federal No call lists work for a while, maybe a month or two, then they start in again.   What works for me is, if I do not recognize the number, which usually has a different area code, I do NOT answer it.  If it is important, the calling party will leave a message.


The hell with it, lets just annex Mexico. LOL


More excellent scientific information from ADN and its equally excellent journalists.  A valuable service to the entire state and beyond.


I didn't say better, or less crazy, I said stable.  Pence wouldn't be constantly on Twitter contradicting himself and whining about the media.  He'd be much more in the background working his agenda & at least, appearing more "Presidential". Out of the fire & into the frying pan is not a good thing.


But, but....They told us it was good for us, that it would cure everything from dandruff to gonorrhea. Please don't tell us all these "Health Professionals" lied to us AGAIN! say it isn't so.


They had their voice: 55 electoral votes.

In California itself their voice was heard when they reelected Governor Medfly in 2011.

California, with 12% of the United States population, has one-third of the nation's welfare recipients. It has the third highest per capita spending on welfare among the states, as well as the highest spending on welfare at $6.67 billion. The state's debt is a bit over $132 billion.

California levies a 13.3% maximum marginal income tax, has a state sales tax of 7.5%, with local governments levying additional sales taxes.

All real property is taxable annually.

The Electoral College prevented California from exporting their mess to the nation as a whole.


I respect people who have earned my respect, not those who my PM suggests I should respect!


While TrumpUSA is proving to be empty... on a short lease for obvious reasons.... he does illustrate a few things.  The system that produced the TrumpUSA phenomenon can no longer "lead".  It is doubtful that this situation would have emerged without the ill-considered but necessary intervention of Bernie, without the unbelievable corruption of the Clintons... But it did happen and now the USA has to focus its strength on wriggling out from the mess they have self-inflicted.  They cannot even lead themselves politically and no other country is lining up for anything from the USA except money.  They cannot afford nor profit from their situation and have been wandering around in a void for decades.  Leadership exists when people want or need it.  It cannot be forced on anyone.  The Chinese offer it.  TrumpUSA (so far) are trying to grab it.


"You would not get a different result from this group. "

Except  most of those listed would take the sensible move of looking at total debt not just Federal debt - that number is rising

That would be a very charitable view, IMO.


This is why Islam is such a threat. It's 14th century thinking will destroy us.
The Christian world is disintegrating and the flood of Muslims will take over the West.
I give it 10 years tops before all politicians and bureaucrats are Muslim. The takeover will be complete and sharia law will take over from British Law. The descent to tyranny will be complete.
Liberalism is to blame as well.
It is a fact not racism


So if taking a beating makes you stronger and shows what a strong person you are, why are you not still abusing your body?

Oh you grew up and realized that getting hurt sucks. You sound like someone that takes joy in the pain of others. Through some sadistic urges you feel the need to abuse children based on a pattern of abuse that you yourself suffered.

Equating the ability to deal with pain with your stature in society is a BS game that adults play with children, even when if it was you with the bad enough scraped knee you would be at the hospital asking for pain killers, or do you think it is the kids that are hooked on opiates?


Add to that, the Rs have it in, for Mr Herz, as he accurately reports their goings on. They don't like him, and they make no secret of it. Pete Kelly won't answer his questions, and Chris Birch complained about him by name, on the house floor.

Because he gets under their skin, simply by reporting the truth, they're likely to high-five Wilson, and slap him on the back, in private.


"White House unveils ‘Made in America’ week, though many Trump products are made overseas"

That's soooo unfair to point out Trumpian hypocrisy.


Again a slanted article!  Instead of praise for the new alignment, all we get is negatism from this writer and against the OIA.


Here's what we can really take away from this article:
1. Opinion polls are largely inaccurate (which we knew anyway)
2. The DUP nearly always voted with the Conservatives anyway, so no change there.
3. The vote had nothing to do with Brexit. The Labour party is also in favour of Brexit, so how do you explain that?


Even if that is true does it stay true when the money in the Permanent Fund runs out?


What the heck is wrong with that guy? For sure, his screws are loose.


We now have a president who appears to have no actual knowledge about anything. It all up from there.


I hope all that implies that these countries are friendly allies.  There seems to be some question where Russsia is concerned.


The transmission system from Wyoming to California is permitted and parts under construction. Storage is growing rapidly in part because costs are declining rapidly: http://energystorage.org/energy-storage/facts-figures
Hopefully people will use the new technology rather than just fix the old.  In the Virgin island where there is almost complete destruction of the system building a DC minigrid structure with underground cables and home circuits with home DC for at least things like LED lighting and solid state devices would make a more robust and efficient system.
Planners should not give in to pessimism of those concerned about change.


Oh yes it is. There's no way you can treat Toronto this way and expect my support. No vote, no money.


You really do.  Look it up.


Not everything has to be political, but 4 years with the RG has given me a better understanding of why conservatives would feel they are running uphill.

The RG seems to be acting with intention to publish more reports on free speech.   We've seen a couple covering campus complaints at various colleges around the nation.   It's not local, they don't have to print it, but they have been.   They've also been publishing more conservative politcal cartoons.    I wouldn't expect a total flip in their editorial slant, but you might look for signs of better balance.

Liberals are good at feeling guilt, appeals to fairness will work with some, personal insults will work with very few.  I'm not sure why you bite the hand that gives you so much access to be heard?

Trump is hurting with seriously inexperienced people.   I'm sure he's see them as a new path, but so far they just look lost- it should improve.


Count this Ivy League grad as anti-intellectual.  In the US, with more and more people going to college, we have more and more stupid people thinking that they are smart.    They seem to think that sitting through a bunch of lectures, particularly those in the social sciences, by "those who teach" and memorizing their propaganda raises them to a different level of social status, smarter than others.

But what's a shame is how part of the brainwashing makes them speak differently, putting on airs, to make themselves sound smarter than they really are.  They're human computers, programmed by elitist professors to turn people into wanna-be intellectuals; still unable to think, just regurgitating the memory from their hard drives.

Look at the whole climate change fiasco: no one dare question the (crap) data analysis, because, you know, it was generated and analyzed by scientists who went to college and became smart just like they did.  Meanwhile, many shunned science courses as too hard


The undemocratic tendencies of this left wing government continue unabated.

Now that they've recognized that tampering with democracy to clearly favour the LPC isn't as easy as they thought it was going to be....they've backtracked on their entire pledge and blamed the electorate for not arriving at a clear consensus.

A clear disdain for democracy that has presented itself in instance after instance after instance amongst the left.

There, give that one a try at censorship Thomas.  I toned it down a bit.


It also measures common sense, which numerous posters have made glaringly clear they simply do not possess. Comparing a vehicle used primarily for transportation being misused to a gun, which has the primary purpose of killing, is wildly misleading at the very least....


I would love to be your investment manager if you believe the BS they are spewing.  The Perm Fund has only earned 6.4% over the last 5 years, and 1.35% over the last 12 months. So if we had those 5% bonds outstanding, we would have made 1.4% over the last 5 years, and lost 3.65% over the last year. Again, the only thing you guarantee with POBs is what you have to pay bondholders.

Financial accounting 101 tells us that, unless you have a fixed rate security that is guaranteed by the US Gov and you hold it to maturity, your future earnings are anything but certain. So a snake-oil salesman pitching an 8% return on our investment is a liar.

Now, if the bankers are so certain we can earn 8%, perhaps they would be willing to put that in writing and put their balance sheet at risk--like they are asking us to do. I am confident you would see the backside of their $2k Brooks Brothers suits heading out the door if you proposed that clause.


Is wittle woy still hurt in his butt?


This helps explain why our local Tim Hortons has truly gone down the tubes the last the few years.  Saturday morning, 10am - "sorry we don't have any hashbrowns" ... really??  Go there for lunch --- "sorry we don't have any chilli" ... really?? What's next -- 'sorry we don't have any doughnuts'?  I'm voting with my feet. Enough.


What a bunch of idiots.  Lock 'em up and throw way the key.  Oh, I'm sorry, they're doing their Christmas shopping.  Shame on me!  Black killing black is ok but another nationality killing a black is not ok?  Check the Chicago stats....out numbers any thing else you're come across.  Funny, I don't see them rioting over that.  Just an excuse to cause more trouble.


Younglai writes “the unemployment rate has remained close to the level seen before the [so-called] Great Recession.” (The 1981-82 recession under Trudeau père was much worse than the 2008-09 recession.)  This isn’t really so. Between October 2006 and August 2008, the unemployment rate ranged between 5.8% and 6.1% except for three months when it was 6.2%; the unemployment rate has never been under 6.2% under Trudeau fils, and except for August and September, it has never been as low as 6.2%. Real AHE were only up about 0.9% from October 2016 to October 2017, and the annualized rate of growth of real AHE from October 2015 to October 2017 is only 0.6%.


Anything to continue to bilk the followers out of their money. Lets face it all these claims have a few leaders who are glad to have you or the government fund their theories.


"He failed to use his first 100 days mandate to break Wall Street and the financial industry when the American public would have backed any measures he took. This would have cured the disease of conservatism in the body politic."

Actually it's Democrats that are tradionally the main recipients of Wall Street money.  Just ask Hillary.


There's nothing wrong with that. What not learn and benefit from the wisdom of others?


And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon . . .


No follow-up on Pioneer Home director David Frain, who stole $38k from the residents?  See: https://www.adn.com/anchorage/article/former-pioneer-home-administrator-accused-stealing-money-meant-elderly-resident-fun/2013/08/03/


The alternative is having groups of  prisoners filing through the stairwells, hallways, and courtrooms of Alaska unrestrained and watched by one or two troopers.  It would become a simple matter of three or four making a break in the middle of the courtroom, easily outnumbering the officers.  This is pretrial only, and a necessary security process.  The detainees are allowed much more freedom during individual hearings and trial.  Whether they are chained or not makes absolutely no difference during arrangement, bail hearings, or other pretrial processes.


I'll do your homework for you. Singapore, who is kicking our butt in education, has a standard class size of 60 students. Now I'll speak from experience.
 in 1977 my mother pulled me from OPS, because this problem has been on going even before then, and sent me to England to go to school. England graduated students at 16 years of age, and with the equivalent of our freshman college aptitude. That's 3 years ahead of us at 16. I had to be bumped up 2 grades to be with students my own age.
 I had class sizes of 35-45 students. England was preparing me for college at 17, where I can expect class sizes of 100-150 students.
  The real problem is twofold. #1 our curriculum is trying to teach 95 and less IQ students subjects they will never, ever, be able to grasp. Just read their posts on CC. #2 most of our educators cannot teach at this level regardless the class size.


Look at the face of the guy in the blue plaid shirt and then at Morneau.   Can you pick which one did not declare their villa in France?


Please move to Eugene, you'll like it better there, much more bum and crime friendly.


Kenny did a great job of corralling 75% of the delegates through the nomination process. Now, whether those delegates actually represent the P.C. rank-and-file is another question. The Kenny supporters ticked off a lot of Albertans with their unnecessarily aggressive tactics which caused three candidates to drop out of the race for leader. The P.C. party was actually a pretty moderate party which caused social conservative hardliners to break away and form Wildrose. It's not a given that a combined right wing party can actually win a provincial election.


Appreciate the information - I just didn't know.  Not that I like the answer - but this seems like such a deliberate attempt to undercut the law.  It would be one thing if he hadn't said anything - but such blatant in-your-face attitude - didn't he fire Sally Yates for not defending the law?

No response necessary.  I am being deliberately snarky.


Their son was used and killed in a pointless war, he was a victim of the US military industrial complex.  He parents were used as pawns in a pointless US political circus.  It's disgraceful that this family, parents are child, are/were not smart enough to keep from getting blatantly used by America's corrupt systems.


I watched the part of Trudeau's speech in which he dramatically and indignantly describes how some of Canada's FNs do not have clean water to drink and bathe, and blaming it on colonialism.
My Questions:
Colonialism?  Don't our FN's have self government?
What has Trudeau's Liberal government been doing for the 2 years that they've been in power spending billions of dollars on FNs, and yet they still do not have clean water?  Our Armed Forces did a better job in Afghanistan.  What's the problem Mr. Trudeau with your government?
Why haven't FNs provided their people with clean water and decent housing with the billions of dollars that the Canadian taxpayer gives them every year?
It's time to open the books so the Canadian taxpayer can see what is happening to their hard earned dollars that we give to FNs.


To me this seems just like an extreme example of the abuse of power in the workplace.  Everyone is a potential victim, black or white, male or female, but it is the more vulnerable in society who are the more vulnerable here also.   The problem is in the system... those at the bottom with ambitious tendencies will appease the system since it is their only hope of getting to the top, and will support their bosses at the expense of their fellow employees.  Until society becomes less oriented to individual success and more to advancing the community, I don't see any solution.  Put Weinstein in jail and someone else will take his place, that's all.


Sure...especially when one of the reasons WHY the Iroquois decimated the Hurons was...the Hurons were already decimated, by white man diseases.


Justin T  has substituted so-called WHITE Privilege with real non-White privilege


Scary.


Yep, you too!  #MAGA!


Considering Trumps whole campaign was to point fingers at Demos an Clinton for lying, he has gotten himself elected by lying. Satan, oh Satan! Come and get em boys. Dont forget those who follow him blindly.


Next on the financial plan: burning the furniture to heat the remaining properties.


Someone need to get the new message to the fool.


Agree UH management needs to do a root cause analysis of declining enrollment to fully understand the problems and causes before they enact any plans or solutions.   Also as the Manoa campus competes with Community Colleges and UHWO for students, they need to consider these entities as part of Systems Thinking.


This is why it behooves all police officers and agencies to keep up on the Legal Updates published and disseminated by the justice department.

We also have Implied Consent, but I knew about the SCOTUS ruling on drawing blood before I retired, and that was almost two years ago.


RangerMC, It's the responsibility of the President to ensure our safety, but his executive orders don't do that.


What makes you think the State is going to lose?


What is true democracy?  And surprise, surprise, media have a bias.  When did they not?


It would be straightforward, if the situation were static.  It isn't.

The question, (which Sky-King chickened out of addressing) is whether there is an amount of INCREASE which is too great a burden to be borne.  Would any of you "pro-military-at-any-price" people care to take that question head-on?  Or would you rather have me just assume I know what you'd really think, but lack the strength of character to admit?  YOUR CHOICE.


It's time to sell the stock.


Kevin Harun & Don Neal- Agreed.
Bill Tolbert - another exercise in obfuscation and illogical thinking to justify the horror that is the Republican Terrorist Traitor Party dictatorship led by the ultimate terrorist - Trump.


Remember: it's foreign money, not foreign nationals. Citizens of convenience don't count as "foreign nationals" but absolutely trade in foreign money.

While I agree that tackling foreign money is important, don't underestimate the impact of local participation/debt. Will foreign money pick up the slack because first-time buyers can't borrow enough. Maybe, but I doubt it.

It's not usually foreign buyers who are buying townhouses in Langley for $750k.


it is nice to see phil support something besides athletics.  Buuuu-uuutttt. why does everything have to have the knight name? it's getting a bit trump-ish - the desire to see his own name on everything.   that's 3 on campus..the law library, the MK arena and now this. i do think if the u called phil and said that for some ungodly sum, we'll change the name of the university to phil knight U., phil would swallow his tongue trying to say yes fast enough.


Oh brother...here he goes.  Someone needs to muzzle this clown.


It would be a fitting place for these, shall we say, legislators.


keonisakebot?  do you mean john rice, alias keonigohan?


Look at the various trends in the various crimes posted by CBI.  The most remarkable is Rape.  Starting 2012, the number of rapes increased dramatically whil other crimes (including homicide) trended similarly or flat.  The year we legalized marijuana for recreational use.   Not a trend pop culture wants to acknowledge because it does not reinforce their bias.  Why didn't the DP investigate this obvious possible casual link? Because they sell papers reinforcing pop culture beliefs.   The current protest culture does not encourage critical thinking it encourages group think.


Nice job... Attack a man who isn't afraid to put out there who is in a comment section and yet you hide behind an alias.


You got that right.... just count how many vice-presidents there are in Crown Corporations and double it before next election.


However the good folks of Montreal don't want to think about that. They would rather stick with their entitlements in the form of equalization payments from Alberta but shaft this fiscal provider and refuse a pipeline extension that would remove this problem.


Thank you my2cents !!  I proposed that very thing before and have been on radio talk show about it .  It's the only way to a private economy and funded government.  New Wealth comes from the Land  NOT IN THE HANDS OF OUR STATE. The only other way comes from ideas and the Governor and the Legis. has proven they have none!!!


By the way, still waiting to see what qualifies you to comment on, well, anything. Remember you sneeringly demanded to know my qualifications? I provided them.  I'll assume that if you don't produce them, you have none, and are just a bitter, self-involved Republican victim.


Lynn Wilson's story is compelling and inspiring. Most of us do not have the advantage of viewing birth,death and treatment from the point of view of a cultural anthropologist.That point of view shows us that rather than some universally RIGHT way,there are many ways,many choices,based on who we are as individuals,family beliefs, cultural preference and advice from the mental health and medical practitioners with whom one chooses to collaborate at the end of life.The main concept is respect and choice of how ,where, and with whom one chooses to say Aloha.
House Bill 201  provides for freedom of choice and compassionate care at end of life.


just think...your worthless efforts are just that...worthless. gorsuch will be seated, and that's just the beginning sunny. you left wing nuts will be exploding your heads when trump gets done.


Boeing's television ad campaign touting its love and commitment to Canada makes my stomach turn.


More important states?  Are the citizens in the other states less important than those citizens in your so called more important states?


It is true, both 1 Republican, the Clintons and the DNC paid for this dossier to be put together.

The real corrupt part though is....is how Democrats while in Office used this dossier (knowing it was fake) to proceed to

1 - Use as a basis for an FBI investigation
2 - Used the dossier to base the FISA warrants on
3 - ultimately spied on Trump's campaign via the FISA warrants.
4 - Used this dossier to build an investigation against Trump (again while knowing it was fake)
5 - Used the media for the last year to spread "fake news" about Trump and his team...based on this knowing false dossier.

The GOP is being rebuilt right now, the supporters and voting base is making sure of that. McCain, Ryan, Flake, Corker, Mitchell et al, will be gone by the end of 2018 and that portion of the Swamp will be drained (a bit).

The Democrats, well...they have next to nothing right now, and with this information coming out in the MSM (1 year late), they will be forced to purge and rebuild.


How tin eared can the Republicant "leaders" be?  Alaskans (and Americans) want our elected officials to work together for the benefit of all - not ones who kowtow to the party's ideology!  It's like a bunch of little kids saying "if you're friends with him, you can't be my friend too."  Pathetic.


David Grisham, why do you and your group of 'not-anti-gay' friends think it's okay for you to pass judgment on gay people?  And of course you will protest that your aren't passing judgment, you're just doing as your god would have you do, which is...well, passing judgment.  YOUR God is a hateful, ugly god. I have no idea how you fools could be a part of any religion that has so much hatred and ugliness attached to it.  Your Christian religion promotes this hatred.  It singles people out as being 'sinful' and not following YOUR god's demands.  YOUR hateful god, I will add.  Believe what you want, since all that hatefulness and and all those lies have been indoctrinated in you probably since your Sunday school days.  That's YOUR belief. Leave people alone.  Let people live as they choose.  YOU and people like you need to stay out of other folks' business.  Clean up your own dirty sins and stop worrying about everybody else. And go back to Texas.  We have enough like you up here already.


Can't pass a budget or get anything constructive done on behalf of Alaskans or the State of Alaska but by golly, they can sure piss away the money.


Current federal policy regarding lost lands of the nearest kinship group is not assimilation as it is mistakenly practiced by the state agency administering this federal law, badly. It is self determination. Meaning native Hawaiian commerce as well as housing. It doesn't mean the state legislature gets to determine return of the native nearest kinship group to the lost land as per the intent of Congress. The SA persists in using the wrong language, capital "N" Native Hawaiian when the federal law applies only to native Hawaiians, as defined 50-100. A capital N is defined as anyone having ancestry. It is an unconstitutional interpretation of the original law based on that it is the same definition used by KSBE to decide who to permit to apply for entry to the school. The Hawaiian part of the capital N is a racial group according to Rice and federal funds cannot be allocated by Congress for it. Land not homes was the intent of congress. It is not a state law.


Every day the :First Welfare Nations" are upset about something. Get a clue no one cares


WHAT is with these people that just 'react' with a "disagree", but no comment whatsoever.
That only tends to reinforce that they have nothing intelligent to respond with...they just 'feel' that to prosecute Hillary would be wrong. Why?


This very public failure is good news for anybody not holding Pershing shares.

Ackman's style of activism is not healthy for capital markets generally.

Focusing on short term share appreciation rather than growing or building solid companies is parasitic, plain and simple.

If you look at Berkshire Hathaway as another style of activism that has been prove as a sustainable way to be involved, you will see how it should be done.


Today must be a bank holiday in Russia.


I live in the bush. Our non chartered customer flights ALWAYS ask about hazardous items. Especially because we need car batteries, etc. and they want to make sure such items are transported safely. Living in the "bush" doesn't need to mean "flying like idiots." This passenger should be in court.


OMG this is just painful. What a sham. What a waste of time and money. End this charade now. Everyone knows it's going no where and everyone knows that the "mystery" will never be solved. There is no mystery.

You're not trying hard enough sir.

You are 99.99% incorrect my friend!! - a very few people *are* making so much freakin' $$ off this clown car it's not even funny.  People want to blame this or that on "the downfall of the U.S.A." ; missing/single parents, tv, guns, public education, public health-care, social safety nets, the internet, Christianity[or lack thereof, or some other religion], but it appears time & again that our "political 'leaders' " who collect our taxes, feed our innate fears, send our children to wars (most politicians have NOT served), and direct our futures to preserve *their* re-election, these folks (lawyers, lets just call them),  i've reached m


Very interesting article highlighting a lot of hard facts, but also a lot of conjecture in my eyes. Speaking from experience with feral cat populations, I was heavily involved in TNR in Greece for a number of years, particularly on islands in the Cyclades where things can be dire.
We found that the worst thing to hit cats was invariably conjunctivitis, FIV and cat flu. In terms of population I'd say we were dealing with several hundred to 1000 at any given year, a number that remained steady as many cats didn't survive long.
We never found any outbreaks of toxoplasmosis or rabies but we were a coordinated and conscientious team.
The points raised certainly are valid but also highly dependent on location I feel. Truth is one female can be responsible for upto 20000 births if population is left unchecked by neutering so take from that what you will.


He may be bright but that doesn't negate what happened in the past when our lawmakers raided the fund.


I'm sure Tulsi does realize that and that's why she has tried to propose a peaceful solution to end the war; the war never would have even happened if the US hadn't seen literally millions of weapons to the Syria jihadi "rebels."


Previously I have passed the "civil comments" requirement and posted several comments but today I am refused commenting here.  What happened?

Can I put my pink dildo bayonet on it as well, no really this is so funny, not that a chainsaw bayonet isn't real but it's about as practical as putting a 50lb weight on the end of your rifle, I'm sure it will make shooting people in the feet more reliable.  It's a friggin novelty for the "Zombie Apocolypse". You can't have our guns but you can have our bullets one at a time!

Let me refresh your memory: 1) The PM at election time was S. Harper 2) S. Harper was also a candidate in this very election. By voting for Trudeau, we got rid of Harper: now who could possibly regret this?


Russia committed crimes against our nation consistent with acts of cyber warfare.   Anyone who thinks this wasn't a massive effort coordinated by the Russian government needs to do some reading.  The fact that a Republican controlled Congress has not recognized these attacks on our nation does not in anyway alleviate the breadth of these attacks nor the damage they have done.


At 16 a citizen may join the Canadian Armed Forces as a reservist, or under the Regular Officer Training Plan. In my opinion (And I'm right!) if you are old enough to fight for your country, you are old enough to vote.

Yes.


And you play it better than anyone.


TRAIN Canadians to do these jobs.  I can see that a brand new technology might need specialists that we don't have in Canada for a short time.  Otherwise we can train our own people.   It is so short sighted and wasteful to hire outside the country when we have so many well-educated people here that just need some training to do this work.  We need some sort of extra cost to the corporations to encourage them to train Canadians instead of hire abroad, maybe a pricey new tax hit.  The same goes for outsourcing IT to India or China, make the Corporations pay through the nose for this.


Coffee .  Kirk Caldwell got us in this position. They first start a project in the middle of nowhere so we can't stop it. Then they mismanage it so we have to get a ge!  Kirk said middle street then flipped ..  The news continues to lie .. Where did Djou say he was going to raise taxes that's the dishonest Hawaii news now putting words into people's mouth was that a Djou quote!  Coffee where is kirks financial plan? Where is his recovery plan the FTA still waiting he is delaying this project ..


A C-section is performed when the intention is to give birth to a live baby --- the very opposite of a partial birth abortion.  In the latter procedure, the whole purpose of keeping the baby's head in the birth canal is to prevent the whole baby from coming out.  Because if THAT occurs, then the baby cannot be killed; the baby would be, in law, considered to have been born alive.  So the abortionist intentionally keeps part of the baby in the birth canal so as to maintain the fiction that it was "aborted."  Clinton argued for the right to do this.  "Empathy"?  What degree of empathy is due a baby born alive?  That's the degree of empathy to which a partially aborted baby is entitled.

You say 90% of abortions are first trimester.  We're not talking about them.  If only 5 out of 1,000 abortions were partial birth, that's 8,000 babies killed per year.  You accept that?  Q:  What kind of society allows this?  A:  A society of Clinton supporters.  Where's their humanity?

Given that they didn't charge him for a weapons offense he must not have violated that portion of the law.   I.e. He only had a legal firearm with him.   I don't know how you miss 12 times. But I guess anything is possible.


What the established, well done and replicated research shows is not at all what you represent.  What is ideal is having TWO parents involved in the raising of children - no qualifiers are placed on the sex of those parents.  Children form attachments to any set of parents who love them, take at least good enough care of them, and who the child feels like they will be there when needed.  Perhaps really reading the reliable research would expand your knowledge of what works in the care and development of our kids.


As if the Liberals can't spend our money (including our children and grand children's)  fast enough, they have to hand it over to a terrorist as well.

I think their game is to put Canada so far near the brink of financial destruction that the party that replaces them has absolutely no chance of success as they will have nothing to work with.   I guess that is how they guarantee their survival.

It is sicking having had to watch the mess unfold in Ontario and now see it just starting to fester for the entire Country.


And what type am I? Perhaps an American that had his industry run over by illegals? I do not support the ones that take advantage of these people and believe wholeheartedly they should be prosecuted and sent to prison for at least a decade! And by the way, we have fair and workable immigration laws...they just don't want to follow them so these are the consequences.

That brings up an interesting concept: Perhaps NCR should restrict online access exclusively to its paid subscribers. I wonder why it does not.


The trouble is the average Canadian voter isn't politically savvy  enough to think this through.  We accept a sysystem where one riding can have 23,000 voters, and another 113,00.  We really are a "low information voter" country, whether we like it or not.


When Justin was elected and promised Canadian's an open and transparent government and promised to avoid  potential conflicts of interest, I thought that was great. I actually thought, given the Liberal's sponsorship scandal and other abuses of power, they would life up to those promises.

And what I have seen is just more of the same old and maybe even worse. I don't think politicians realize that what we saw in the US  with Trump is already growing here. Low voter turnout is not do to the voting system, it's more likely do to the disgust with each successive government regardless of the party.


It can't be undone by executive order. Only congress.


To Sher Hindustan

Obama criticizes Bush but does the same

"Five years ago, candidate Barack Obama criticized the excesses of the Bush administration’s neo-conservative foreign policy and homeland security agenda."

"As president, however, Mr. Obama has increased the homeland security budget, significantly expanded the use of drones in the war on terror, and remains committed to prosecuting detainees in Guantanamo Bay through the same military commissions established by Bush, despite Mr. Obama’s promise to close the base immediately after assuming office."

Why weren't the caring family members more productive in his mental health care. Hmmm...I think his weapons could of been locked up until his recovery, if he ever was able to achieve recovery. Blame the police for protecting themselves and innocent people.
This family needs to stop blaming and start taking on some of the responsibility for what happened.


But you clearly hate liberals. Do you wear the tee shirt? Sounds like it. Hate is clearly a pseudo-conservative trait. "Hate" is not a value.


This will also be good for Canada as more prosperity in America will lead to greater economic growth here as well.

This level of deficit spending is grossly irresponsible. The governor shouldn't sign until the Legislature defines a mechanism for paying for their proposed budget.


nope, they were still supporting a democrat.  it seems awfully stupid to allow more than one candidate to run in the primary but you cannot support one that the majority supports.  she may have worked her ass off but her behavior on national tv at the convention was not warranted.  people with any class and integrity do not behave like a jerk.


How is he going to protect himself if someone attacks him?


Puberty blockers are not "irreversible." Kids take them under medical supervision and if the kids decide they're not TG, they just stop taking them and puberty proceeds. However, if they ARE transgender, this gives them an opportunity to avoid a puberty that would be distressing for them and allows them a chance to express the gender they experience. Surgery performed in accordance with the "standards of care" for transgender people would only happen when the patient is old enough to give consent (so no kids) and their medical team (including mental health professionals) agree that it is appropriate. This stuff really isn't as unsupervised as many seem to think.


Interesting point.


Bernie needs to disavow this level of hatred, intimidation and public disorder that his supporters have committed. Is this the direction we want our country to go? Is a leader so fine with his supporters causing such chaos and hatred really one you want to support?


Ah, Mr Grootes we live in SA, not Utopia. Nothing is done by the book.
Just imagine (actually, no need to!), with a functioning judiciary, we still find ourselves with a rogue President and a captured state. The worst criminals are our police. Our prosecuting authority is in hibernation, permanently. Let's not forget the political killings. All orchestrated by one man.  I will say this about you - you are an optimist. How you manage to remain so being a journalist,  in THIS country is a miracle to me.
Keep your journalist notebook close. Zuma will steal 'December', and as with everything else, he WILL get away with it!


can't we just move on instead of apologizing forever?


If liberals only knew how much Saudi money is flowing into the US to fund Madrassas that teach the same garbage.


I'm not an expert family law but I think we can agree that courts are terrible, expensive and sad places to sort out family conflict. 50/50 parent legislation would force just that. When parents don't get along kids suffer. Passing a law doesn't work for kids.
As for family violence, the vast majority of "perps" are male. That's a statistical fact borne out by #'s collected by police and hospital professionals.
That's not feminist ideology that's fact.
In a perfect world, I agree that more resources should be allotted to deal with trauma to treat everyone afflicted.


Couldn't agree more.......


First of all, he did not give his company away.  He is still in chargee.  I will keep harping on this as republicans always harped on sweet Hillary.  Welll tables have turned.  Now is the time for everyone who believes in honesty and freedom to demand that the fraud in chief release his tax returns.  Now the Bum is going to make it so he will never have to pay taxes again.  Guess who will be paying instead?


Quite the crowd comes out of the woodwork for any story about Trump...


Kudos to the Preds for the win!
Good riddance to Getzlaf for being a homophobe.


You'll not get any argument from me on who makes the decision Jade.


You're correct, but that's apples and oranges. You're referencing overall crime, the other poster was talking about homicide. Our current homicide rate, while higher than the national average, is nowhere near the highest nationwide.

And, as noted, the risk of homicide is not evenly distributed within any given overall population. If you aren't associated with people involved in drug trafficking and gang activity, and aren't in an ongoing violent domestic relationship, your risk of being a homicide victim is very low.  Even in a city like Chicago, much less Anchorage.

I don't think anything you say to Roy will sink in. He seems to have been a victim of society his whole life and lives in some sort of impervious bubble. I almost think dumpmaker and Roy are hired shills.


The Mexican drug cartel can get anything they want, anywhere in the world. They could have this guy by the short hairs knowing where his family is and using that to gain leverage. The cartel's are more ruthless than your imagination.


Taiwan has been independent from Mainland China for 75 years.
It is a beacon of democracy in that region.

If they wish to retain their freedom and independence, we should support them by any means possible.
Not to do so would make a mockery of our platitudes about liberty and justice.

Trump is doing the right thing.

We won't say a peep here in Canada.
No leadership and totally enthralled by China's dictators who seem to have little potato head in their back pocket


China created North Korea and supported them ever since. They said they oppose North Korea's nuclear weapon program and yet, did not do anything to stop them. Now, we are trying to stop them; and Xi is calling for restraint? China is playing us!


I doubt "bounce-back season:": the article itself mentions first-season turnarounds haven't happened with Taggart. I am not expecting miracles and a bowl game would be close, considering the gaps in the program and the improvements in PAC rivals.
Fans will have to be patient: we may improve on D (nowhere to go but up) but the offense could be worse because of a lack of tried-and-true WRs and also because opponents know we have no proven second-string QB and hence Justin won't be running much (if he does, he just won't last in the PAC-12; safeties and LBs will decapitate him at some point; he just doesn't have MM's acceleration to get into the smaller DBs hitting zone). That means the zone-read option won't have much mystery and ends or stunting other players can tee off on the RB.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing Taggart's team/scheme, however, especially how he uses Freeman, Nelson, and some of the new speed guys. The key: new guys need to perform; luck to keep injuries down.


Believe it or not, it is critical that the U.S. (an Arctic nation) is investing in the Arctic right now, especially in the area of defense, which is behind the power curve in the north. Do a web search of China in the Arctic. China has no territorial claims yet they think it's just as much theirs to exploit as it is the eight Arctic nations' and even weaseled their way in as an observer nation after "helping" Iceland out with a huge currency swap.  They plan to exploit the northern routes for shipping, the fisheries, and conduct "scientific" research in the Arctic.  More than 50% of U.S. fisheries are in the Arctic!  Search "Russia Military Arctic" to see their activities, especially near the Bering Straits.   Also amusing are the numbers of Icebreakers we have (two) compared to China, which has five and one on the way and Russia, which has over fifty (five nuclear powered) with seven in production.  Incidentally, I am NOT part of the military industry complex or a politician...

My question is why isn't Canada trying this individual for treason? Under s46 of the Criminal Code, a person commits "high treason" who a) kills, attempts to kill, wounds, imprisons, or restrains the sovereign, b) wages war against Canada or does any act preparatory thereto, or c) assists an enemy at war with Canada or any armed force against whom Canadian forces are engaged in. Instead we're paying him over 10.5 million dollars!  The Canadian courts should allow Tabitha Speer, the widow of Sergeant Christopher Speer. Sgt. Speer to receive this blood money.   Mr. Khadr should be put on trial in Canada for treason.

Our politicians should have hired companies from Japan.  They know how to do things right and efficiently.  Unfortunately this project was seen by those in the know as a huge financial windfall where many could get to
wet their beaks at public expense.  As we can see, this has resulted in a disaster of a project which will indeed make Honolulu, the laughing stock of the nation.  It stared with the selection of Ansaldo to build the trains
a company which then  had to declare insolvency even before the first train was built and the selection of Dan Grabauskas of the Massachusetts Bay Transport Authority and the "Big Dig" project in Boston which went from
an estimated build cost of 2.8 billion to 14.6 billion and  9 years late by the time it was finally completed.  Interestingly the consortium involved there was Bechtel, Parsons, and Brinkerhoff who also may have had a
hand in our rail project.  What a coincidence.

I do not live in the region anymore but I've seen Cantius packed on a Wednesday night, and of traddie and tradd-ish groups the Canons Regular are the last ones I'd call "schismatic".  They offer the Mass in both forms and the parishoners are happy about it.  The anger and nuttery (e.g. neomonarchism) and pride (in the negative sense) I've detected in former-SSPX congregations isn't in evidence there.

To remind you who they are: This is the congregation whose youth group and chaperones put together an Ordinary Form Mass in a hotel bar a couple of years ago for buses full of students stranded in a blizzard.  Not the action of far right loons, nor schismatic wingnuts.

Have you actually went to Mass or events there or is this just prejudices speaking?


Should, should, should.
