Oh, I agree that "CJ will get 20-40 yards when the line gives him a big hole" and that's the main problem, the OL isn't making those big holes. That said, on the majority of 3rd or 4th and short, when the play call is to run it, CJ has been the chosen RB to attempt it. Unfortunately, he has failed way more than succeeded at gaining the neccessary yardage to convert... and yes, the OL has a lot to do with it. I too hope they correct (or have corrected) the problem, it is a big problem.

When Rob Ford became mayor of Toronto and then predictably exploded into controversy and incompetence, it was an anomaly. Equal parts sad and funny, but a relatively inconsequential anomaly. Then he ran again, and was doing well in the race when he pulled out due to illness. It left a queasy feeling in your gut to realize that so many people would vote Ford again after his disastrous first term. Now we look ahead to president Donald Trump. It turns out that electing wildly unsuitable rich populists isn't an anomaly, and this time it's anything but inconsequential. Mr. Trump is a raging, textbook narcissist. He really believes he is incredibly intelligent and well informed. When he forms an opinion, he knows in his bones that it's brilliant. So this man, his self-confidence completely unmoored from reality, oblivious to how little he knows and profoundly incurious, will be given the nuclear codes and take control of the world's most powerful nation. What were his supporters thinking?

not toxic

Russia states that they were having communications with Trump's campaign before the election. If true, this is the #1 reason to reject Trump. But really, he's almost certain to be inaugurated. But because he's so undisciplined and dishonest, it would be a miracle for him to make it through the next 4 years without being impeached. The only way that can happen is with an invertebrate congress, which it appears that we may have, including our own reps.

Yes indeed.....growing up in the sixties until early 70's then to university was indeed one of reasonable ease and predictability....especially what seemed less complicated.

I agree with your observation that Charlottesville was a "state sponsored riot" clearly facilitated by the Mayor, Police, Civic leaders, and Gov. McAwful. Their agenda was nakedly clear. To foment open violence and begin the non-stop race-baiting of the GOP. We witnessed the fact that despite hundreds, literally hundreds, of public felony assaults, virtually no one was arrested. The DNC continues "The Resistance" to mobilize violence and to stop Free Speech. We saw the DNC playbook at Trump's Chicago rally in 2016, the Inauguration, in Berkeley, in Charlottesville, etc. Yet the most effective methods to counter extreme messages like the KKK, etc. is to not attend their rallies. When they march in empty streets, to bellow taunts to no one, to rage against the air, and to lash out at nothing, it quickly eviscerates their "juice". Tragically, many groups I don't agree with have an absolute Free Speech right. It's why we have American Democracy. A fact the Left continues to debase.

That is true. And I voted for Bill and met Hillary during his stump for re-election here in 1996. But you see no similarity to the Democrat witch hunt of Trump on every platform available to them? Your previous comment about why Hillary lost was simply another tone-deaf temper tantrum that doubles down on the mistake Hillary and Democrats made before the election You cannot promise to punish success to give to failure as policy and then vilify those who you intend to punish and win elections. Hillary's history, behavior, and platform- along with the sneering of her followers- were the reasons for her stunning and well deserved defeat. Regardless of what President Trump does or does not do, did or did not do, that attitude will keep people in his corner who are educated and successful as well as those who are not educated but who work hard for what they have and who are sick and tired of being told they are beneath contempt by people who gain from creating problems, not solving them.

World resort cities really do not need a lot of gas stations. They are not real cities. They are more like a cross between Disneyland and a cruise ship. As long as there are good roads for the short trip to the airport, with its flights to Hong Kong and Beijing and Shanghai and Chongqing, and as long as there are gas stations near the airport to fuel the high end cars jotting to the airport from Kerrisdale and Shaugnessey and Dunbar, that is all that the world resort city needs, that is all its millionaires need who work overseas. No need for hardware stores or books stores or corner stores. And the service workers who dash in and out of the world resort city (teachers, nurses, etc), they can buy their gas and goods thirty miles away, where they live, in the service enclaves of Surrey and Port Coquitlam. They key thing to understand here is that world resort cities are not real cities, in the culturally traditional sense of Canadian cities.

Once more, astonishing and disgusting levels and kinds of human averice respect no ethic or gender bounds. At the expense of badly needed quality medical resources for rural Alaskan men, women and children; and through the abusive, bureaucratically facilitated theft of millions of American taxpayer dollars, - taxpayer resources generously granted specifically to these "nonprofits", these "leaders" have betrayed their own, and the rest of us who have, through deeds and dollars,, long supported Alaska Native aspirations and equity advances. This gross abuse and diversion to "the elite" and upper echelon leaders who have been entrusted by their people to "do the right thing" is not unique nor a first - but it is terribly disappointing. This is a sure way to destroy good will and support among both taxpayers and the more ethical and responsible Alaska Native leadership.

I've said from the beginning that the "Russia hacked the election" story was utter nonsense. Julian Assange (WikiLeaks) has stated that he didn't get the DNC and Podesta e-mails from Russia, and there's no reason for him to lie about that. Further, if the Russians did have those e-mails, and if they wanted them exposed to embarrass the Clinton campaign, they would simply publish them on RT-news.. along with editorial comments.. no need for WikiLeaks! I don't doubt that Russian government cyber experts (along with many others) are hacking U.S. government and business... but the "hacked the election" story is hogwash!

You might want to read it again and closely this time. Not only will you then know it is not about 1963, but also that he is talking about a deep cultural inclination towards the anti-intellectual. He recognized how false information, conspiracy and ignorance could quick move through society in old times prior to mass media.Culture and norms are the drivers not hardware and software. And news publications frequently ran two publications a day and hit the eyes of a mass of people. Rather than all the fragmentation of digital media, the effect was powerful and concentrated. Just like the effect of mass pop culture in the past which could create social phenomenon (unlike today with fractured cliques), the old way created waves of genuinely wide and deep movements of anti-intellectualism and paranoia. But since you like technological analogies, you talk about 6 or 7 tiny, tinny transistor radios when the traditional mass media was one stereo channeled turned up to 11 on massive speakers.

1. I never assumed that "no one" has truly grapples with the Church's position. I do maintain there are many who are disdainful toward the Church's reasonable teaching that human life worthy of protection begins at conception. 2. I don't really doubt the Church's ability to heal. What I really doubt is the ability of many of the Church's antagonists to accept the Church's good medicine. 3. You say, "As a woman in the Catholic Church I'm fully aware the church places greater value on a fetus than on a woman." You can't be "fully aware" of a Church teaching that doesn't exist. Where has the Church has ever said such a thing? I just see more hyperventilation here, 4. You say abortion is "morally fraught," but it is a serious moral problem because life begins at conception. If it's less than that, no moral problem. But you say it can be done "only as a last resort." Would you say that regarding the life of a newborn? Of course not. Why should such a procedure be made safe?

"Some said romantic relationships fell apart when their partners found out they could not get pregnant again." Coercion is a strong term - if a surgery was performed in this way, that is troubling. Still, it sounds like these women had had multiple births. How many children had they had before tubal ligation was suggested? Were their children well cared for at home? In most families, parents have to consider whether they have the maturity and finances to provide security and love for their children. Multiple pregnancies should not be the measure of a 'romantic relationship' because romances tend not to last, and they should never form the only foundation for a pregnancy or series of pregnancies in any society. It's time for our society & governments to be clear about the responsibilities that go into raising children. Parents have to consider how many children they can afford - by extension, how many can governments afford, relying on the tax base? Babies are not mere 'after-glow'.

Was President Obama wrong in 2012? “Governor Romney, I’m glad that you recognize that al-Qaeda is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what’s the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia, not al-Qaeda,” Obama said. “The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War’s been over for 20 years….When it comes to our foreign policy, you seem to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s, just like the social policies of the 1950s, and the economic policies of the 1920s.”

Like I said -- disagree with progressives, they call you blind. I forgot to add that they also often quote the bible to "prove" they are right.

They also said the end very likely would happen in 1975 and even commended (in the watchtower) witnesses for selling their houses and pioneering because of it. But 1975 came and went! They also said (for many decades) that the end would come before the generation born in 1914 passed away. In fact up until 1995 it was written inside each Awake magazine cover. Only they then had to change that meaning as well (including the Awake masthead) because that generation CAME AND WENT TOO. I mean be honest with yourself, Aislin.

The school year for teachers runs from August 10-May 31, so you're a bit off on the 70% estimate. Teachers work 50+ hour weeks during the school year and still work during summer. I have 165 students. Every day I have to prepare lessons and assessments, teach classes, grade all the assessments and record everything in the grade book. Then there are disciplinary issues and phone calls home to parents, meetings with counselors and special educators, individual education plans and 504 plans, performing mandatory "volunteer" work after school hours, and sponsoring a club (required in DougCo). Even if it only takes me 3 minutes to grade each student's work: 165 students x 3 minutes each = 495 minutes. That's 8 hours and 25 minutes of grading at least once or twice per week. In summer, teachers attend professional development and are required to take classes to maintain our proficiency and earn relicensure credits. There's also CPR, first aid, mandatory child abuse reporting, etc., etc.

We were also told that Canadian negotiators would walk away from the table if the Americans wanted to get rid of the Ch. 19 dispute settlement panels.
