Punahou sanctioned camping trips to Kaena Point for all of their students for the supposed purpose of teaching their students conservation. Punahou cannot be directly blamed for this mass bird torture/killing however if they did not require such a camping trip, these three punks would not have botherd to hang out at Kaena point and the birds would have been alive and left alone. Punahou unwittingly unleashed 3 brutal bird killers at Kaena Point. After all of this Punahou should now prohibit ALL of its students from ever visiting or camping at Kaena Point. Let them set up tents on their own campus for future camping trips.

Oh, BS. "Supervising up to" 60 inmates? You mean by putting them on lockdown in their cells all day? And how many of those alleged 60 actually need medical or other monitoring? For those of you that don't know, putting an inmate on suicide watch in prison is more likely than not to make the inmate want to kill himself. The DOC isolates the despairing inmate inside an all-glass cage with a concrete floor and no furniture.They take away every bit of clothing and leave him with a sleeping bag that doubles as wearing apparel. The lights are on 24/7. They may restrict the inmate's ability to move. The inmate isn't allowed contact with anyone who actually cares about him - a family member, for example-for support. The DOC leaves him on display like that, with so-called mental health technicians coming around every so often to stand outside his cage and ask if he feels suicidal. 99.99% of inmates lie about their mental condition so they can escape suicide watch hell.

I have zero confidence in the Denver Police Department mainly because their response rate is abysmal and there are so many dissatisfied citizens that report poor interactions with them. And of course there is the fact they moonlight in uniform (exposing taxpayers to even more lawsuits) so their hours far exceed 40 every week so they are less than 100% and always miserable. HOWEVER, in every instance cited in this article the police involved (DPD and otherwise) seemed to have done the right thing. Don't run from the police, don't steal a car, don't possess a weapon illegally, don't point a weapon at a police officer, don't threaten a police officer and YOU won't have essentially forced them to shoot you.

What a sad excuse for a leader.. Instead of being professional and presidential, he`s using valuable time, on the internet, taking senseless, evidence-less pot shots at a popular two term ex-president , while avoiding answering real questions in press meetings about things like his failing policies, and things like releasing his taxes. He said, what must have been a hundred times to the cameras, that he would show us his taxes "after the audit was done"..remember? (taxes that would show a connection to a Russian loan from Putin perhaps?...to be paid back "with interest"??) Every other president asked has shown their tax forms. If he has nothing to hide it should not be a problem. Yet he still refuses to publicize them. Why.

Note that the US cut its carbon dioxide emissions dramatically, not from renewables but from natural gas' displacement of coal. If you really want to reduce carbon emissions, embrace natural gas shale development, fracture stimulation technologies and nuclear energy.

Interesting analysis and article. The most useful thing is that we get to see what a current rate for this product is, something that the major Canadian provider HomEquity Bank seems surprisingly shy about doing. Now about that 5.22% rate. It does seem weird that a reverse mortgage that is by definition 200 percent collateralized would have a much higher rate than a conventional mortgage with 5% equity. Mind you, the last US housing crash wiped out the reverse mortgage providers there.

Every economist in the country said the Iran deal would kill oil prices. That was a no brainer. I'll give you the fact that Obama's heart was in the right place but the deal was just plain stupid. Giving Iran a 4 week notice before you inspect a possible nuclear site is crazy. Iran has already broken the treaty by continuing to develop nuclear weapons, attacking U.S. war ships and boarding U.S. ships in international waters. They didn't just stop pumping oil the day the embargo started. They stored it. Then to try to get them to slow down on the oil dump Obama gave back the money we froze from their bank accounts. They took it and didn't stop anything. Obama himself said in an interview if he could take anything back during his presidency this would be it. Even he knows it was a mistake. People seem to worship the man as a God. When you say one bad thing about him they fly off the handle. He is a man. He makes mistakes.

All the Aces owners care about is looking like VIP's sitting in the isle blocking seats . If they cared about winning they wouldn't have brought back nearly the entire losing team from last year . Many wondered what the heck was going on as week after week the signing of yet another loser from last years team was announced . With all that pathetic news being reported , it's no surprise that from the get go few care about Aces hockey any more .The Aces or UAA could jump start attendance by announcing better parking . Try parking passes allowing for faster entry into the Sully , or perhaps even free parking ( paid for by either group coming from increased ticket sales ) . Adding a second exit on to Gamble would make attending games more inviting. More promotions with handouts would jump start attendance for both clubs .The half effort of remodeling was ok , but the best way to make watching games fun is a huge crowd . Dropping UAA hockey a year from now will boost the Aces attendance .

You completely misread me, EFC. I said "WE have no right to impose our morality on others." The "we" here is the Roman Catholic Church, where "Church" is understood in the V2 sense of the community of all the faithful (bishops, clergy, laity, theologians). My comment is a contribution to an internal discussion among Catholics about what position OUR OWN MORALITY OBLIGES us, qua Catholics, to take in the wider forum of political debate about abortion in democratic societies. You are making an entirely different case. You are arguing that democratic countries have a right to make laws, and in so far as laws prescribe and/or prohibit ACTIONS, and morality is about good versus bad action, then it is obvious governments are involved in the morality game. The question that concerns me is What ought the law to be on an issue about which citizens of goodwill have fundamentally opposed moral views? Abortion is a perfect example. (continued)

Just to add a couple more comments. The '4%' ia an eyeball grabbing ploy and very misleading in that it suggests one would have had to be in the 4% of 'total wealth generating' stocks in the U.S. market in order to make a reasonable return. That is nonsense. The slight of hand that is occurring here is that 'the other 96% of stocks in aggregate only generated a return equal to 1 month T-bills'. Note the 'in aggregate'. The reality is that over 40% of the stocks (and higher percentages than that in many periods) generated returns in excess of 1 month T-bills. So no, you absolutely do not have to find that 4% of the biggest winners - there's a far larger pool than that from which to reap good returns. It is a shame that university profs have to resort to National Enquirer type headlines to attract attention.

They have (? how much) outstanding bond debt, and that nasty HOOPP loan...and still have to pay interest on the $12 Billion of GIC's....never mind somehow replacing them as they come due. Do they have $3-4 Billion stashed away somewhere in cash ?? 2. I believe that,as a lender,the majority of that $$ is to meet mandatory regulatory $$ levels. In other words it is not "available" cash... If they liquidated the rest of the mortgages somehow....and then gave that $1.6Billion back to HOOPP....I guess they would be OK......... but worthless. *********************************************************************************** "Worthless?".....nice call.

Step one, tell the busy-bodies to butt out of the free will decisions of competent, autonomous, adult business owners, employees, and patrons to freely associate, freely contract, and freely enjoy their property by repealing "smoke-free workplace" tobacco laws. Those laws have long since served their purpose by educating business owners that people will still patronize smoke-free businesses, educating employees about the benefits of choosing to work in smoke-free establishments, and educating patrons that you don't need to smoke to enjoy yourself. It is past time to return freedom of choice to all of the above. Business owners who want to allow smoking should be allowed to, employees who desire, or don't mind, working in a smoking establishment should be free, as adults, to exercise their own best judgment on doing so, and patrons can use their power of the purse to influence the decisions of business owners by freely choosing to patronize or not patronize smoking businesses.

As an alumni, at least I hope that Cal Poly can give UH a serious challenge, a run for their money. If Torrey makes the team, I wouldn't be surprised if Cal Poly could split with Hawaii, each team winning on its own home court. UH cannot take Cal Poly lightly and neither can Cal Poly take Hawaii lightly. It might be worth a trip to Honolulu to watch that match in person. (Right now I am blogging from San Luis Obispo which I am visiting for a month.) No secret I am rooting for both teams and will be happy to see a split and both teams sharing the conference championship.

When the giant forest fire in Canada a year or so occurred, I don't recall hearing or reading of a single American expressing feelings of superiority over Canadians because they built the town with one road out and houses in the woods. These comments are a uniquely Canadian thing. The articles here and virtually every comment was supportive and somber. Then again, these are the same people who rejected numerous offers of help from America and instead brought in a bunch of South Africans with specialized sticks for forest fire fighting in the particular terrain. While you get great joy out of people drowning in Houston most Americans think Canada is a friend. That's not due to mental impairment on the part of Americans. All of the credit goes to the insidious nature of the bigotry up there. Houston has a huge Spanish population. So technically it could be racism and not just plain bigotry.

Any complaints from teachers or students or parent or anyone else about her job performance during that year will be extensively documented. Her 'clean slate' will be subject to extreme scrutiny. Her potential lawsuit is weaker now that she has been reassigned at the same time as a reshuffle of other principals. She has been removed from what her attorney could call a 'toxic environment'.
