Usually, if you're in a special situation (with infants, or with large luggage or a large instrument), you cannot use the automated check-in machines. I have had this issue flying with a Cello (that I bought a seat for) and with someone that required accommodations (pre booked). Also worth noting, you cannot pre-book seats selection if a leg of your flight is booked through another star alliance member, no matter how much you want to pay. The only way to *try* to get around this is by buying business class tickets and getting the airline to try to accommodate you with phone tag (i do not recommend) because they're just more helpful with business class. This is a pain in the ass with international flights because even though you may book a flight through Air Canada, or Lufthansa, the flight may be actually run by Swiss or any other Star Alliance member. And no, it makes no sense to book each leg with a different airline, you'll end up pay 5-10k for a flight.


he's probably have to kill you if he told you...... ;D


We've been through the advisor grist mill with proposals from three majors. With a seven figure portfolio, the minimum management fee was 1.6%. Lowest was a brokerage charging 1% who used ETFs for 75% of his client portfolio content. So your add-on for Series F is way, way off, making their total burden a lot like the 2.25% to 2.5% common MF Series A premium MER. The ads with Series F performance charts mask this burden and inflate the performance -- by a lot, after fees!


Bishop Salvatore J. Cordileone---one of the most clerical of all clerics featured in above .  I can't even see the alter in the picture.  Why him!Don't understand what this picture is doing here heading this article.  the cathedral in Oakland with the cross right out in front is great!


Yeah, last time he had this kind of rally, Hillary had a 98% chance of winning!


Get rid of the Obama care Tax penalty on our Citizens!!


Roy, first off i have to say i believe you are wrong on all of your points.

1. reverse discrimination, is real and very much alive. affirmative action policies that have been put in place do discriminate based on race in an attempt to level the playing fields by only hiring a minority rather than hiring the most qualified. this is also seen in the university systems for student selection. if a a person is overlooked just because of their skin or sex, then is that not a form of discrimination? i would argue that it is.

2. you shouldn't assume anything. using the terminology of "majority" or "minority" does not make a person believe that a group of people labeled one way or another deserve some special treatment over the other. that belief just propagates the continued division we are continuing to deal with in our communities.

3. i or anyone else feel sorry for ourselves for being white? wow, maybe it is you that feel sorry for yourself for whatever reasons.


While you may be technically accurate, the overwhelming amount of data collected on who is supporting Sanders suggests you are wrong about the political leanings of the people who organized and participated in this protest.


The fact you thought Sedonamize had an intelligent comment sums up enough for me.  Typical of the far right fringe crowd.  Let me guess, you believe Trump is smart?


In dealing with large, extremely self-interested partners, seeking a fair trade deal is not a bad thing; if it offers advantages to Canada and Canadians, it can be a very good thing! However, these enormous negotiators (e.g. USA and China) may feel that they have a natural right to lead their would-be partners. Let’s not forget that turning a deal down is as valid a response as signing one. Saying, “No, for now” does not necessarily signify failure and saying, “Yes” might.


Jim,
I like your philosophy and I like your commitment to the concept of "team"!  It's so true, coaches effect the lives of young people and we hope we do so in a positive way.  But, we often do not know the results of our efforts for many, many years.  Keep doing what you're doing, for as long as you are able, enjoy the process and keep working on the "mellowing"!
By the way, I remember a lot of the athletes you mentioned that you coached early in your career; they were very good Track & Field athletes, too!

Shameful disrespect with such meager contributions, especially after they followed all their instructions to the letter.


Any stats to back your statements?

Very few Catholics adhere to strict interpretation/practice of their religion in this day and age, especially the belief that being gay is a sin.

One doesn't hear much if anything at all about fundamentalist Catholics.

Fear of Catholic parents being incapable of showing their child compassion and understanding due to sexual orientation is ridiculously overblown.


How many TIMES are women going to keep calling "WOLF"?????????


Did I miss something? Where did breaking up families come from?


Hahahhaaa....!!!! Chickens....Cluck...Cluck...Cluck!!!!! No doubt the reality is they want a system so they can spy on each other with voice recording devises too....that way Meyers and the rest of the paranoid bunch can find out which legislators are in fact breaking ranks and perhaps beginning to think for themselves....


Its shameful about vandalism, even more so in a general aviation airport where trust is a part of life. I remember training in a non towered airport where anyone can drive onto airport property. Since 9-11-01, it changed and strung up fencing as part of security. Not entirely secured but the airport is rural and off the beaten path to remain almost security camera free as I think many small airports will remain.


"Greg Burke, the director of the Vatican press office, told reporters in a short briefing Thursday that the discussions are expected to focus on more than the choice between religious and married life."
I think a more pertinent focus would be on the choice between staying with the church or becoming a "none" and what can be done to reduce the latter.
Vocations to religious life are low, but in the West, church marriages are also low.  "Leaving" seems to be higher than religious vocations or church marriage.


Then make the pie larger by eliminating the TABOR noose.


Horribly ugly front end!   Was the design team high on LSD when it got thought up?


So mountains are afraid of human voices.
Duh.  Who knew?!
It would seem that perhaps these few scientists have too much time on their hands.


At least some of us go to great length and expense to mitigate our impacts and carbon footprint. From the consistency of your comments, we can assume you don't even try!


I hold a much less charitable view of Trump because he openly advocates for sexual assault of women and is using his power as president to do the bidding of the woman-hating, far-right evangelical Christians who want to deny American women reproductive healthcare. Actually, a "much less charitable view" is an understatement since I actively hope for Trump to have a massive myocardial infarction and would love to see Paul Ryan get hit by a bus. Obviously, America is a substandard country when it comes to women's rights being respected. America has a long history of pro-life terrorism. I never keep appointments with my physician without carrying a loaded firearm--just in case.


An article published by Mark Munro in the MIT Technology Review noted that since the 1980s USA manufacturing output has increased, but employment has declined.  For every manufacturing job lost to trade in recent years, eight have been lost to automation


The pollution from traffic around these buildings is probably 1000 times worse than any second hand smoke effect, but they don't seem concerned about that.


The killer must be a good Taliban, and Turkey is becoming Afghanistan.


Not even Fox News polls show Trump having more people who approve of him than disapprove. No other president has remained at only 40% popularity in his first year in office. Worst numbers ever!


Fact:  States verify citizenship before placing names on registration lists

Fact: voting illegally is... illegal therfore against the law

Fact:  Votes lists are routinely audited.  Those audits provide the basis for stating that voter fraud in the USA is virtually non-existent.


Were you being facetious when you wrote this, or are you dense?


Perfectly in keeping with the quality and accuracy of the whole article.


Isn't job security, guaranteed pensions, raises and other benefits there to offset the greater pay a federal employee would make for doing the same job in the private sector? If so, then it seems Trump is determined to prevent most anyone of merit from taking a government position rather than a private one.


I deeply understand what you're saying but there is a slight misconception though, 99.9% of the police corruption is represented by HGEA and not SHOPO. Captains and up are not represented by SHOPO.


Bush didn't start the problems in the middle east.

Cheney holds the same reverence with me that LBJ has, someone itching for action.

And still, Carter was not a good President!


The FBI proved the Witch lied about her emails. Then everyone involved pleaded the 5th at the hearings. She needs to go to jail. Or better yet, send her daughter as well. Poor little thing is only making 900K a year working for the Clinton foundation.


"It’s the idea that our government is tailoring regulations to align with the beliefs of particular religions."

Can't this also be applied to liberalism in general.  We have the religion of climate change. The religion of gimme, gimme, gimme, all in the name of compassion. If the government believes they can be elected giving away the store, ie buying votes, what's that called, a belief, a religion, doing business as usual, or all the above. And what's it call when a particular group DEMANDS, that they get something, that others pay for? Employee health care is a benefit, not a right.


He was released early from other crimes though.


Unlikely?  Were his lips moving, or his fingers typing?  There is your answer.


Can we send Donald back to middle school where he can learn a bit of science?
This ignorant soul is just pathetic.


Who really cares about  them? He will be just a blemish of a memory.


How long before the word gets out , and a couple dozen become a couple hundred and then a couple thousand. What are these little communities supposed to do, since they are not equipped in any way to deal with illegal immigrants. We should remember that these were illegal immigrants who somehow got into the States and now got into Canada. Dressing it up and calling them asylum seekers is wrong on every level.


Humpbacks don't feed in Hawaiian waters and the young whales feed on their mother's milk from fat laid down thousands of miles from Hawaii.
The fish that died on Niihau were on the backside of the island, away from Lehua.  Unless there is an undiscovered water "jet" current from Lehua to this part of Niihau, we would need tens or hundreds of tons of  anticoagulant to diffuse away from Lehua in large enough concentrations to have an effect. And the bait wasn't dropped near the shore on Lehua and the helicopter followed a tight GPS guided grid pattern, hardly a "napalm in the morning" approach.

Bosch is entitled to his opinions but he has no facts.  How many young seabirds have died because of rats gnawing them to death since 2009 following his decision to prevent application of diphacione within 100 feet  of the shore. How many deaths will it take until we accept that too many have died? Lehua is a jewel of the aina. Protect it!


That would put Macron in the exact centre as a moderate.

He sounds perfect.


Then of course there is the Liberal Party scare mongering in the Chinese press as revealed by the Globe.


Clarification was just released by the White House.
Wall? What Wall?
I thought you said Mall.


Thanks for not posting a link.  Saves me the time of showing what a farce it is.


It is odd that it will take over a year to simply ban the products use. Similar to  tobacco except tobacco kills over 30,000 people a year and they won't even discuss a ban. It makes no sense what so ever. The revenue earned on tobacco doesn't even come close to paying the medical bills of tobacco related deceases. When will somebody wake up?


Ha Ha! That's funny. You ran out of arguments and decided to steal mine. Maybe Phil and Penny Knight owe you an apology, too!


The conceit and complacency of the voters is what really did the damage. It's magical they way such a collection of nincompoops can constantly pat themselves on the back.


Some how I'm betting you don't have one.


the Numbers don't lie. as in "Ball don't lie"...
His drafts are terrible. He passed Dak Prescott and Russel Wilson. He brought in camp arms that turned out better than his vaunted picks. Go Fish.,
Fails: Schoefield, Sambraillo.  Booker, Monte Ball, Paxton Lynch, Ozwhiner, Stephenson not a draft pick but WTH?
Defense: Passed on Clay Mathews...Harris was not a draft pick and the defense is hardly any of his draft picks either,,,and he let one good one go..Malik Jackson... BRILLIANT...Said he would have signed MUCH earlier for MUCH less,,,but Malik said Broncos failed to get it done. So...natural consequences.
How many draft picks start? Wolfe, Ray, finally, Parks, Simmons, Von...well he was 2nd overall, after all.


Jazz13man, other than "Let's not paint everyone with the same brush", not sure what you're trying to say.  What "kind of structure" are you talking about?

Re: "others have no choice."  Not sure who the "others" are that you refer to. Doesn't matter. Because we ALL have a choice.

Yesterday a friend recalled the moment when her former husband phoned her from the airport. He was bound for business appointments in another city. "I just can't get on that airplane," he told her. "Can you come and get me?" She did.  He quit.
I'm reminded of the lyrics of a great Don Henley song:

Harry got up
Dressed all in black
Went down to the station
And he never came back.

They found his clothing
Scattered somewhere down the track
And he won't be down on Wall Street in the morning.

He had a home
The love of a girl
But men get lost sometimes
As years unfurl...

One day he crossed some line
And he was too much in this world...

Happily, some--like Harry--realize that, yes, they have a choice!


Since Oregon has passed a law which requires a conviction for a forfeiture, I don't think chicken little should be too concerned here.


So, let me get this straight..In the last week alone:  They cut the funding for rural internet services to small villages at the public libraries, the one and only place that locals can get online to do school work, and other essential stuff. Savings? About 1 million annually.
Then they want to cut the funding for the slaughter house, one of the only places where farmers can go to have there animals handled, and get USDA stamped. It cost the State about 100,000.00 annually.
Now, they decide to buy, over what the appraised value is, the one building that the public has been screaming to cut from the budget, the LIO office. Never mind that there is a State owned building downtown already that has room for them. Plus, they need to furnish it at a cost of over a million. Total cost? Over 33 million furnished.
Does anyone down there have a set of priorities? Does anyone down there respect the public input? I think not.
Voters need to pay attention.


I was there last week and picked some goodies for my DIY project.....


It sounds like an unserious question, EFC, once he said he wouldn't be president. You were the unserious one, in that situation. Priests are supposed to NOT be president. Sounds like you were trying to be the attention-getter in that situation.


It started with Mr. Gerry, a DEMOCRAT, I do not need to cite a source. Democrats started it. That's a fact


Hey ding dong, you are wrong! If you believe this deal was worth its weight in gold, then I've got some land on Kahoolawe that I'd like to sell you.  It's prime beach front property. Give me a break.


He is competent. There is no reason to drug him despite his crazy and violent beliefs.


More likely to be one of Trump's supporters.

They have always been critical of McCain.

Sanders and Obama both call him a hero.


And there's knuckle-draggers on here who would support the prior idiots initiatives no matter what HE did.  Anyone with any sense knows the health care bill this one is attempting to fix is a dumpster fire.


this is a fair question and a fair comment concerning the content. In as far as the enclosed documents are concerned they only show that UBS had business in South Africa.


Another GLOBALISTS.


So which ally was it? I'd guess it was the one that doesn't actually pay for the arms they "buy" from us.


Berlin used to have a big beautiful wall.


'Lois Epstein, with The Wilderness Society, said her organization has concerns about the effects of ice roads on the environment, including what happens when large amounts of water are removed from lakes.'

I'm dumber for having read this.


This village appears to be taking a serious no-nonsense approach to the drugs and alcohol that plague them and many other villages as well. I am speculating when I say that this man's importation of alcohol was more likely than not- causing problems in the community. I understand that many people are taken aback by the Togiak Council's actions- it was extreme, but they don't want it there! If it were the other way around and this gent was Alaska Native, there would be many saying- Hey! He's your problem- deal with it and quit wasting "our" money prosecuting him. I have seen a couple of comments here saying- "believe it or not you still live in the United States- you can't do that.... " Yup- they do and not exactly by choice- they were here before we moved in and He resided in their village- a DRY village at that.  Allow him in to collect his things, allow him a chance to sell his property and move on. He knew what was at stake - It's time to pay the piper.


The regressive in the House have to pull the trigger.
Articles of impeachment have already been filed for them by responsible and patriotic Dems.


There is an inverse relationship between the size of Trump's brain and his ego.


Only half the state's population works, PDF cuts spread the pain to everyone which is why it's fair.


I use the STA trails a lot.  They are a great asset to Anchorage.  But I agree with the writer of the article.  Too much of a good thing is not good.  Too many trails is not good.  Especially for animals.  If there is no place for moose and bear to be buffered from people in our parks, these animals will just be more stressed, and potentially more aggressive.  Especially in the spring when they give birth.  You can't keep bear and moose out of our parks, so for safety concerns we need to give them some space of their own.  I've got to agree with the comment about too many trails.  It's time to give it a break.  And stop cramming endless singletrack, Nordic, archery, frisbee golf and social trails into our parks.  Let some of the land in our parks be ... park land.


Somebody said it was a disgruntled student and the reason the asst Principal was there was because the person was making racial slurs about an Asian kid who was shooting free throws. The Parents and the Kids the texts were about wanted it in the paper with their original names, which further thickens the plot. What kind of parent would want something like this circulating in the media for months. I don't like any of it, especially the media. NEWSFLASH: STATEWIDE SCANDAL ERUPTS OVER MOCKING. The adults here are on nothing short of a witchhunt.


Doug, one issue I see is that there really IS no investigation, except for what the media can unearth. Who investigates this kind of thing, absent litigation? I think the community is waiting for a door that won't open. We're in fester mode.

As for yelping, I think it's great. I'm 61 and I yelp when the music deserves it.


It's not what he said; it's when he said it. Two days too late. As the Virginia Senator (Democrat) is quoted in the story, to make his statement more credible, he needed to immediately denounce the activitiy.


A "better after-the-fact reaction by bishops" would have PREVENTED further child rape and re-victimization of those previously attacked.  Ask families in parishes where known offenders were transferred to, courtesy of their bishops.


racist


Oil, NAFTA, Liberals, everywhere you turn the outlook for the Canadian dollar looks bleaker.


Lynch sounds like Donald Trump. Can't finish a sent...thought....


First of all, this is a lot more about accuracy. This isn't Gunsmoke. Police firearms training is a lot more than spending time at a firing range. Three days, huh? No wonder so many people are getting killed for being pulled over for a bad tail light.


obvious pandering to the 'partner'  who is now the finance minister - the less the gov't needs to pay out the better - screw the folks who paid into it
bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush  - all this propaganda to defer gov't  payouts is a desperate attempt to keep $ in gov't hands to pay for shiny pony's obscene deficit budgets - shame, shame, shame
when will folks wake up to this obvious fraud?


Roy, you *do* realize that things aren't *real* just because *you* declare them to be, yes?

Sort of like, "if I '*like*' my own comment, that's the same thing as a real person liking it and agreeing with me!"

Oh wait, you do that, as well. How awkward....


Schools are the places where problem solving and coping skills can best be developed for the society.  Schools have policies that create stressors that can challenge skills developed by parents. Problems become more evident in the high school years when peer pressure is particularly strong. If all the kids have preventive skills all students benefit.
Counseling is helpful but developing skills as far back as preschool is more effective.


"Just shut up, tell your lame jokes, and collect your $10 mill a year- while you still can."

Hey, sourpuss, nobody forced you to comment on a subject you obviously don't care about.
Maybe it's time for your warm milk or a nap.


The journalist community is not the only group with influence.    If you want stories on the Washington Power brokers, who lobby and pay for influence on legislation, then we should encourage 'new' media or whatever you see as an alternative, to look closer.

I'm OK saying the top media companies have access to power sources that most people don't,   Corporate ownership seems to assure the media focuses on the operation of the public institutions, but never in corporate boardrooms.

Media has demanded transparency in all government process, yet we all know the increasing power multinational corporations have a lot of access and influence on legislation in all nations.  Money always has influence.

Who holds the strings in the  Congress/Major contributors   relationship?

and Judge not lest ye be judged.....we can't condemn a sister for not having her brother (in another state) committed. It is extremely difficult to get someone committed. It takes a court order.You don't just take someone to an institution. So few people understand the laws regarding people with mental illness.


the bane of growing one's own will be thieves:   some people too lazy. some people opportunistic. some people just mean and evil.  some people rent and can't get permission from landlords.  some people don't have the privacy legally required. some people have no "yard". did I mention lazy, opportunistic and evil?


"What comes next?"  Gosh, I dunno, maybe the state will actually have to cut spending.  Maybe they will have to stop their shell game of lies  Maybe really cut, instead of reducing one department's budget and spending the money elsewhere.  And maybe even stop giving away $288 million we don't have to oil companies that can survive without it.


Your article is riddled with typos.  Springsteen is the consummate professional. You are a hack.


Richard,   The FBI first said there were no crimes committed.  Today they repeated there were no crimes committed, where exactly is the flip-flop here?  If you have the time and money to pursue this be my guest.

BTW, I don't think either side right or left has exclusive use of english.  Move on man!


Unfortunately there seems to be no better option than keeping Assad in power. Certainly not ISIS. Nor the renamed Al Qaeda, both of whom are American allies in the fight against Assad, but absolutely not fit to govern.  And not the Kurds either, since Turkey will not accept that they take over as they would be a threat to them.
So, if not Assad or these other groups, who is left?
Looks like either a war without end, or Assad.


"Great minds think alike"???
That's what all cult leaders say.


Oh, she doesn't have to do all the work.  She can schedule an out of town trip and let Jim handle the party.  Of course, being the martyr makes good drama, she may prefer the latter.


Never mind that vaccines are not subjected to proper randomized controlled trials and in fact have not been proven safe or effective and contain potent toxins like mercury and aluminum.  Never mind that one of Health Canada's former top scientists and Vaccine Advisors, Dr. Shiv Chopra, is on record saying there are no vaccines he would take, or that a top CDC scientist, still employed at the CDC, supplied his Congressman (Posey) with thousands of pages of documentation detailing the CDC's fraudulent coverup of their own findings showing a statistically significant association between timing of MMR vaccine and autism rate in African American boys, or that Congress cannot be bothered to subpoena Dr. William Thompson as Posey begged them to do long ago.   Never mind the Merck whisle-blower scientists saying Merck committed fraud in MMR vax studies.  Never mind that medical care is a leading cause of death in North America.  Protecting pharma profits comes first, right Timothy Caulfield?


More pie in the sky from the pen of Butts in order for Junior to grandstand on a world forum.

As a meaningful gesture he should start paying taxes on his family trusts.


Great news! I got a great job in the USA, and we need skilled workers in Canada to pay the high tax rates to fund the health care I will demand when I get back when I get something "expensive".

I'm a Canadian, I can demand my rights, I don't need to go begging for them. Work hard folks so I don't have to!


This is crony capitalism folks. Remember, in five years folks who really shouldn't be affording 750k homes will need to renew and it'll be at current market rates, which will undoubtedly be higher than rates today. Christy is using your money to give to developers to falsely prop up the market. She needs to be locked up.

Hey, here's a novel idea, why not let rates rise, and wait for prices to fall?


I'm hard pressed to see what material here could have been of much use for a Confirmation class.  I'm mean really. Opinion, Opinion, Opinion.

More nukes mean more money for contractors. War is good for business.


Incorrect once again. Elway didn't even play half of the '98 season and statically speaking did not have a good year in '97 either. TD and the defense won the SB both years.

P.S. - speaking of 1998, why don't you look up the '98 Vikings.


i would like an answer Chris instead of a thumbs down.


Exactly!!


Really?  Then why is the NRA not standing up for the black man that legally possessed a concealed weapon and was shot and killed when he was trying to retrieve his ID seems to me if it was a white guy that was shot the NRA would be standing out screaming but since it was a black guy you haven't heard a word out of the NRA about the persons right to a Concealed weapon and not be shot and killed by the police remember the black man was a legal gun owner   With a legal concealed permit  he was following instructions reaching for his ID which was in his back pocket when he was shot repeatedly by some loser cop......

lol!  Hawaii is a banana republic.  What is next?  See any Russians out there?


I don't think it's quite that simple to cut us off. They need us more than we need them right now.


No sooner will the min. wage reach $15 per hour and the anti-poverty advocates will be demanding it be raised to $20. Then, even more Ontario jobs will be wiped out.


It's amusing to watch the anti-Trump brigade losing their minds and the man isn't even in office yet.

How are you going to survive for the next 4 years?

You should all request your doctor up your meds or voluntarily commit yourselves.  A nice safe room with rubber walls should help lessen your anxiety.


I chose A (yes), but I don't think changing commissioners will make a difference. The problem is the mission, policies, and procedures. As is, there are too many pukas. The purpose and the operations of the Honolulu Police Commission need to be revamped to ensure effective oversight of the HPD.


C'est la vie.


Are you making that up ?

Is Trump claiming the video is 'heavily edited' ?


The remedial action points are powerful in common sense and simplicity and beneficial that we keep these in view. However, a chasm separates their implementation from the reality of the venal scourge presently at the helm. The latter challenge is the greater at present. Action points please.


NATO has no business to drag us into this, at all.


No, you just confirmed HRC is one.


Pay attention people!

When politicians, "entertainers", and TV talking heads, use the words " F**k You Trump!
When "comedians", stand with mock severed heads of our President,
When "actors", and directors, believe it is OK to show a mock assassination of our President as Caesar  in a Shakespeare play,.......
There will be wacko fans of the Radical Madcow who feel that it is not only alright to kill the President or those of his party, but feel it is their duty to do so.
This is what the Left has created with their vitriol.
And they have the nerve to attack Rush Limbaugh as a Hate mongerer.

The HATE has been coming from the Left every single day since Trump was elected.
These killings are blood on their hands!


Canoutchie I'm not suggesting anything of the kind.  What a ridiculous assertion.  Facts are facts and whining doesn't make them go away.

You snowflakes all but assure the truly evil will rise again because your'e not calm enough to learn history, nor assess modern reality and surely you cannot speak truth to power.

BTW are you also Vote4Me and whether or not you are, could you please stop having my posts deleted.


What we saw with Sloter was a guy who at least looks like an NFL quarterback when he's in the pocket. Unlike Lynch who's a deer in the headlights. He's just like Osweiler. Hasn't got a clue.


if san jose scores more than 20 points, time to get a new def coordinator


So...........if we let the young, poor and aged die early due to the GOP Health Care Bill.........what does that get us? Paradise?


Thanks Jet. Many were saying this after Sandy Hook. Congressional hearings will hopefully expose this to go on the record so we can finally institute SANE gun laws.

4)  Coming sea level rise.  This was, I understand, one of the topics at the planning conference.  The challenge for politicians is that mitigating actions need to begin to be taken now.  Some of those actions will be unpopular, but the consequences of failing to take action now will not be felt until well after the next election.  It's more comfortable to do nothing than to take actions that some will oppose.  There needs to be popular support for actions that will minimize future costs, but as a community we have yet to create that support.


BMWs are daily drivrs too.and thy cost a lot more in repairs and maintanance. If Fuel is your only criteria to buy a car,Prius or Volt is the car for you


All the real and good lawyers have their own private practices. The lawyers we get couldn't hack the job and had to find something else to do, so they went for graft.


The federal program comes with up to $10 million and requires the borough to foot about a third of the bill. The study won't be completed until 2019, when it will be reviewed for possible approval.
This will be of no use for Ed and Val. Those folks have been in that house for near 60 years. The river was a good 1/2 mile or more away then. Their wish to remain there until they are gone will most likely not happen. They didn't build on the edge of a river. They couldn't even see the darn thing when they built. Saddens me that more wasn't done to help them.


"redefining the presidency".

LOL.


I'll even go so far as to say she should be forced to issue a public apology, in her own words, to Trump. She should have an inconvenient discussion with the Secret Service, and probably face fines and even jail time for such a threat. And if she's let go by her employer for this stunt, I won't shed any tears for her.

It's one thing to say Trump is a horrible person and eviscerating him on late-night TV for his horrible actions. That's protected free speech. Calling him a human cheeto is fair game, especially given what Team Red did to Obama over his 8 years. But when you cross the line into threatening someone with death (suck my machine gun, severed head), you should expect a painful reminder that all rights have limits...


My question is why?  The ADA has been around for years, so why isn't the 'ground floor' accessible now?

Does the heating and cooling system work now?  Why does it need replaced?

What is an "adequate" Legislative Information Office?  A large conference room or a series of them?  How large is adequate?

"We've taken it down to what's necessary for serving our constituents," ??   HUH!

Sorry to pop the bubble but  what's necessary for serving your constituents, is to cut the budget, quit spending "money" the State does not have and quit pretending to be prima donnas.  When the furnace is acting up and I don't have the money to replace it, I have it repaired!  If the room is too small and the funds are not there to remodel it, you live with it until the money is there!

The legislative attitude has not really changed, only the faces of some of the prima donnas.


I only object to anecdotal opinion reporting if it is presented as being representative. On its own, a collection of opinions can be informative, no?


https://www.cbpp.org/research/federal-tax/republican-leadership-tax-plans-pass-through-tax-break-would-provide-massive

This is by far the most complete look at the pass-through proposal that I've read yet.  Tax efficiency is not my forte by any means, I will probably read this one more than once.   I would appreciate any feedback Science.

What is clear is this new tax break will greatly help Donald Trump personally.   That just confirms what all should know, the prime directive for President Trump is 'take care of yourself first'.   He can sounds like a populist, but he's feathering his own nest, while lying to those who trust him.


I agree with Alan 100%. Now President Trump should have Justice start an investigation into Lynch for direct obstruction, Holder for Fast and Furious deaths and obstruction to start and allowing the IRS to attack conservatives, then Brennan, Rice, Powers and Comey for unmasking and leaking. And now Mueller for leaking. Then let's really find out about Hillary's emails. Then someone should look at McCain's Russian connections in 2007/2008. Plus, I am dead sure Valerie Jarret will need to testify.


Researcher - can you explain why Big Oil has spent billions over the last five years of so to advance a major gas sales if they weren't interested in the project? Why buy 600 acres in nikiski for an LNG facility? Why waist the time of hundreds of people, including their top LNG talent, on a project they didn't care about? Why spend the time and money on engineering and design work and gathering baseline data? Why secure DOE export approval and submit thousands of pages in resource reports to the FERC? Why put in aloof the infrastructure necessary to blow down Point Thomson?

Does Exxon really waste its shareholders money and their top talent on projects they aren't serious about?


A strong aversion to racist symbols is NOT just a matter of  someone's personal "feelings"; racism is illegal in the USA, and our whole history as a nation has been shaped by a growing recognition of why this should be so.

The monuments are being removed because of this recognition. The removal symbolizes the "better angels of our nature" to whom Lincoln appealed in his first inaugural.

It's part of that "more perfect union" the Founders sought. Surely you can see these things . . .


The problem for me is government policy. The refugees, no matter if the arrive illegally or legally, are treated more generously than many of our most marginalized citizens. There should also be a penalty of some type imposed for walking into Canada illegally from a perfectly safe city like Minneapolis.


Just look at the pope's face. Says it all.


Just another story on the lack morals and judgement by the Liberals. Is anyone surprised?


My own rating of that comment would be "quality of post: poor" on the grounds because all it does is to express a political sentiment that I have previously investigated, & believe to be based on poor information. It would be a better quality post if you could back up your sentiment with factual information that might actually help convince me that maybe there is, after all, a valid point behind that sentiment.

However, I would regard your post as meeting "civility" standards because it didn't personally namecall or threaten anyone, and is a legitimate expression of your political opinion, even if I disagree with it.


just rain?  i doubt this whole area would have been allowed to be built on if it were to be done these days.  it's hard if you are at a low spot in the whole area...
 you know about these things?


Thanks for sharing Bubba Cat. I can picture our fathers as very similar both being "off the farms" from the Lower 48 with incredible work ethics. I can imagine you wore out as many (probably more) work gloves when we were youths. He always made sure we didn't "tear up" our hands since we weren't going to be smart enough to work with our minds :)


Because castration doesn't remove his ability to rape more women.  Castration is the removal of the testicles, not the penis.

I admired Martin Luther King so much. I don't think he thought the Democratic Party would become the Black Racist Party. I think he thought when equality was achieved his brothers and sisters would advance the cause, not become the source of division. When Obama made his speech in Illinois I was thrilled. But then came Ferguson and he and Holder deliberately divided the country over race. I Imagine Martin wept.

Yes, the USA is turning into EXACTLY what it seems to be turning into.

Godwin's Law is dead, killed by minority-elect "President" Trump & Co.


A little sunshine on all of Trump's tax returns would be appropriate. What is Trump hiding?


This guy was certainly HUNGRY........................


The mindless loyalty of Trump's base supporters and of his little band of fans here, in the face of his obvious incompetence, has more to do with their childish stubbornness and inability to admit their mistake. In their pathetic desperation for the blustery leadership of the so-called strongman who'll rescue them from their disappointing lives, they have given this bogus president a blank cheque, forgiving of his every word and act. No leader, left or right, deserves such uncritical loyalty. They seem to have him confused with Jesus.


She had been chastised by CC...for either excessive down-voting or something along those lines.  She posted here farewell address in he comments. Some jumped to her defense and said they were going to contact CC.  She effusively thanked them, continuing to bid adieu...which lasted only a short - and now she's back.

What do I not recall?


Let's clean up our books: We need to agree on a formula for an annual draw from the Permanent Fund Earnings at the very least. And set the 2016 dividend @ $1,000. Future dividends are an issue to be decided later as then-approved by a vote of the Legislature. "Raid" the CBR until the dividend is gone and an income tax is needed. That's what its for.


Remember Ignatief?


A person who attends a racist school does not have that kind of quality that you wish he and other Kam school has...he is still in the play for pay, insider and old boy Obama/Kim network as proven by his sudden appearance in Trump's TEMPORARY travel ban.

My kids cannot go to Kam school because they have no "Hawaiian" blood or should I say Pacific Islander blood.  What he did is totally opposite of his Kam school education.

He looks more racist than Trump's TEMPORARY travel ban.


Kevin you must really be in love with yourself. liking your own comments.
Are you starting your next campaign for commissioner this early?


When I see National Football League players kneeling in protest at football games while "The Star-Spangled Banner" plays, a searing image flashes through my mind.

A skinny black kid of maybe 18 is on his knees, hands in the air.  There's a cop standing behind him.  The kid is complying with all the cops instructions.  The cop is scared.  He fires at the base of the kids skill in a fit of rage.  Screaming. Blood everywhere.

And I want to scream.


NS gets $1.5B in equalization with 900,000 people. Essentially wards of the state. Questionable whether they should be allowed to vote.


America's problem with health care goes beyond HMSA.  Costs for treatment are wildly out of line in America versus the rest of the world, and they constantly increase.  Hence HMSA is always raising its rates or trying to control costs.  At the same time, the last thing we need is an insurance company determining how health care is delivered.  They're more interested in the financial bottom line than they are in individual patients.  Some people will scream and shout about this, but the only way to solve this problem is to go to single payer health care in the Medicare model and for the government to start regulating medical and drug costs.  Otherwise, the costs of health care will continue to rise until only the wealthiest can afford it.  Some might argue that it's already reached that point.


The Boy Blunder IS an amateur. It is sad when a diplomatic mess like Freeland looks like the star in the room.


A lot of Trump supporters share the same conspiratorial mentality common in the Arab world which has made it the violent, intolerant, backward part of the world it is.

Podesta's own words in his emails are 'nonsense'?


Funny, last I checked the (R) party has not offered any gifts to Russia in any presidency, did you find any peace offerings or gifts to Russia? However, I did find numerous sources proving the (D) party making quite generous gifts to comrade Putin which now puts HitLIARy into the spotlight with her Uranium scandal. Care to agree the true commie comrades are the Democrats? Also, why would Bernie be preaching communist style government services to US citizens, he's not a communist trying to one-up brother Putin is he? Maybe Democrat brother Putin got angry that Sanders tried to clone his FREE healthcare, college and vodka to all citizens and then the Ruskis would all flock to the USA instead so Putin himself commanded his army of hackers to sabotage commie brother Sanders and HitLIARy? At least the latter theory sounds very plausible, any thoughts boots?


Trump will win Hawaii


I will be sure to pass your words of comfort onto those wounded, or the families of the deceased.

Do you prefer just these comforting words? "And all you have to offer is haughty insults and nauseatingly trite "thought and prayer" nonsense."

Or these?
1) That you could care less is as obvious as the blood on your hands."
2)  "This horror show is the logical consequence of your laissez faire gun nuttery.

 Or your entire post? This one ??? "That you could care less is as obvious as the blood on your hands. This horror show is the logical consequence of your laissez faire gun nuttery. And all you have to offer is haughty insults and nauseatingly trite "thought and prayer" nonsense."

He "likes" what he writes too.
That says a lot right there.


You're right about the meddling in Muslim countries. However, what is becoming the main problem now is the recruitment of home-grown Muslims to extremism, some of them converts to Islam. Given that we cannot undo the past, the best we can do is to reduce the attraction of extremism while urging our governments to keep their nose out of situations where there are likely to be innocent civilian casualties resulting from military action against legitimate extremist targets. Discriminatory policies against any racial or religious group and condoning discriminatory actions like islamophobia are negatives, not positives as you appear to state by your sneering at "global muliticoporatisn (whatever that is!), multiculturalism and multireligionism". Bundling in "the profiteers of the immigration and refugee business" is odd to say the least, as is stating that the Globe is somehow profiting from all this.


Wrong time to let your ego out front Mr. Mc Cain. In case you hadn't heard much of Texas
is in big trouble. Cane you curtail your hatred of Trump for a month or two?


"Retrograde" would be the kindest word one could apply to Trump and his fans. The Dems have their problems alright, but Donny has taken his troubled nation backward and empowered the worst of the right -- the supremacists and NeoNazis, all the usual rednecks, the sort who dismiss science and formal education. And some still insist on seeing him as a revolutionary, even with his silver-spoon existence and Goldman-Sachs advisors.
Those who deny the reality of his record low polls would be the first to crow if those same polls rose in his favour. Hypocrisy is an essential part of the Trump regime, as is the trick of denouncing as "fake" any report that contradicts his blustery nonsense.


I'm all for people making a decent wage, however this announcement stinks of vote buying at "everyone's" expense. The financial history of this government indicates it is clueless. There is absolutely zero regard to long term financial consequences with the Ontario Liberal Government period.!
Still not voting Liberal !!!


Grovelling Pence just wants to cut taxes for the rich


We elected Carter, and then forgot what a disaster liberals are.  It will be a generation before another liberal is elected president


My argument is historically relevant.  It used to be illegal for women and blacks to vote, bi-racial marriage used to be illegal in some states, etc.  The laws changed.

The problem is that we (the USA) have enabled this behavior for decades and have built up our economy on the backs of cheap labor.  I think we are due another amnesty (but done the right way this time).  That is my opinion, anyway.


"What is the metrics-based relationship between levels of higher education and disaffection with traditional religious institutions?"
As one of the thousands of priests who left after it became obvious that the reforms of the second Vatican Council were going to be undone, and the church was going to head BACKWARDS again,  I can assure you that as Catholics become better-informed, they can't help but learn about a whole slew of problems that I catalogue at my http://CatholicArrogance.org web site, and decide as I did to DIVORCE THEMSELVES from such a fraudulent and immoral institution!


I wonder if 2 years of sexual harassment proven and verified asking for help from Michael Strahan ever did anything! When I complained about harassment he let my account get hijacked and then booted me off forum for protecting the rights of Alaskan hunters.. Beware of AOF!

The pandered to cry babies know NOTHING of how the average person lives.  They have been babied all through High School, College, and now the extremely high paying professional leagues. They can save their silly "feelings" for off the field.


Is your typimg finger stuck somewhere? Same lame post repeatedly throughout the comments, if thats all you can muster for a comment, you must be one of those traumatized Liberals still harping over harper, take your meds man.


OS,  I know in the old days of e-mail, all caps was said to be shouting.  But since we can't bold or underline here in "CC", caps is really the only thing we can do to emphasize.  So I don't see it as shouting, just emphasis.  But his Vote Trump-Pence did get lost in all the caps.


Indeed, Assad has murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent men , women and children, and displaced MILLIONS of innocents around the world.  BUT, the UN is busy chastising Israel and condemning it......what is wrong with this picture.  And WHEN, as it appears inevitable, Assad is back in total control, he will sit at the UN and further condemn the State of Israel...sheesh.


It seems to me a "masters degree in science" makes Bill Nye a scientist.


Good point, i.e., that he is expecting sophisticated understanding from an employee earning minimum wage.


I was afraid that I would be disappointed and not see any responses from the uncaring and the selfish who would think it's perfectly acceptable to allow children to be hungry, while sitting in judgement of parents. Thank you for stepping up to the plate and not disappointing me.


Excellent!  I'll look for it.  Speaking of pizza if you are ever close to Prescott, WI on (I think) a Thursday night, you should try Pizza on the Farm.  They only do pizza so you have to bring everything else [really... everything; drinks, plates, cups, napkins, cutlery, table and chair or blanket, guitar, fiddle, whatever].  When we lived in MN a decade-or-so ago it was a great time for us when the family came to visit.   I imagine your local growler will go great with their goat cheese and fennel pizza.


"Everybody knows that's going to fail," said Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch R-Utah, who led a raucous, five-hour hearing on the bill Monday afternoon. "You don't have one Democrat vote for it. So it's going to fail."

Yeah, that'll happen when you exclude everyone from the bill-crafting process but your lobbyists pals and campaign donors... And let's not forget that the whole point of ramming this POS through before the end of September was to do it without 'Democrat' participation or input. This is all on you and your amoral, unethical buddies, Hatch.


I hope the local banks start a fund for his poor family, I'm so sorry


The missile flew 787 km (489 miles) on a trajectory reaching an altitude of 2,111.5 km (1,312 miles), KCNA said.
======
From middle school physics, without considering earth curve:
t=sqrt(8*h/g)=1313 s flight time, and this gives you the speed
Vv=t*g/2=6433 m/s
Vh=d/t=599.4 m/s
V=sqrt(Vh2+Vv2)=6461 m/s

When shooting at 45 degree, this will give you 4259 km distance.
Yes this missile has a range over 4000 km.


As I understand it, the UBI is paid to everyone from the homeless to Warren Buffet and Bill Gates.  That means the total cost of the UBI is for the entire population.  Currently, only a fraction of the population receives welfare from those "126 agencies."  Would the UBI also end the need for social security?  If so, will I get all of my money back?  If we do give folks a lump sum each month/every two weeks does that mean government has no role in how one spends it?  For instance, if a mother and/or father decide to go to Hawaii at the expense of housing/food for their family, so be it?  Additionally, what is my incentive to work and where does the tax money come from to pay the UBI if nobody works or why should I work to pay for others not working?


Whatever happened to the "buck stops here" kind of leadership?  Wynne was in the thick of the gas plant scandal, she's the leader now. Perhaps she'll get some legal technicality win out of this latest bit of nonsense, but in the court of public appeal, she's already been sentenced.


Everyone has skin in the game, when the STATE reserves sub-surface mineral rights and landowners do not profit from any gas or oil under their property. Instead of direct profit from the oil sale, residents are compensated for the sale of THEIR natural resources through the PFD. Should the playing field be leveled and land owners be allowed to profit directly from the resources their land can provide them, there would be no PFD,and quite a few more millionaires. The Citizen is being cheated, and being asked to pay the cheaters MORE money so they can continue with their thievery.


While the movie and the current situation are not exactly parallel, the title of The Hunt for Red October has a timely ring to it.

"Unfortunately, campaigning for re-election 24/7 is the new reality on both sides of the border."

Not to this extent. Trump hasn't been in office even a year and he's had how many "campaign rallies"? With Trump it's as much about his need to have his ego stroked as it is to perpetually campaign.


Extortion is extortion no matter who is doing it. Once we accede to the concept of having to grease the hand of government and special interest groups to carry out business, we will be no better than communist China. We are simply encouraging corruption.

Tend to agree with you on the first part.  Do not know enough to really comment on the 2nd part, though.  Robyn was the sole reason why Norene Iosia came to Hawaii.  Robyn's name and the respect she has in the high school coaching community is a reason why I am not worried she will be able to recruit outstanding high school players.  Not to speak of a quality assistant coach.  It would not surprise me at all if the coach is a former Olympic player she played with, too.


"People in disagreement are not necessarily unhappy at all."'

Sorry! Tears are usually a characteristic sign of sadness, unhappiness, of gloominess: Looking "with tears ... in the rearview mirror." I guess in this case, however, the tears are "of disappointment," which disappointment can be hopeful,  a nurse of wisdom, as it were. Of course, there'll always be disputing about peoples' tears. And then there is grief and sorrow without any tears.


Yep. Same pollsters that said Trump had Zero chance at being elected. Polling is not what it used to be. I stand by my belief that the companies that do the polling are making sure by their methods that they get the results they want. Not just liberal pollsters. Right side also.

I'm no fan of North Korea, but the abusive treatment of Warmbier is not terrorism. If they do support terrorist activity then the designation is appropriate, but the two should not be linked.


Jeffrey Ryle: a warped legal sense of impacts have created a law that disallows dogs to sniff, romp and run like hell off leash, and at the same time, a law that allows trappers to plant deadly land mines anywhere they want.

Your claim about trails originally made by trappers is BS. Do you have any evidence?


Why do Greenpeace, Tides, Sierra Cult, Forest Ethics, STAND, WWF and all these foreigh funded eco groups ONLY protest Canada? We produce Carbon Neutral! Why are they not protesting the Middle East? How much CO2 do the Great Saudi Forests convert to O2 for the World? NONE!!! now compare that to Canada... Canada is Carbon Neutral.... where is Trudeau standing up for Canada with facts!!!???

We do NOT need a Carbon Tax! We demand a Carbon Credit Justin Trudeau!!!!

The only negative effect of a 1 part per MILLION yearly CO2 increase in the last 100 years is the MASSIVE reduction in the IQ of our Greedy Government and that of the FAILED ideology driven Eco Movement!

You are like a broken record, time has moved  on yet you keep playing that same scratchy song


Here's another example.  UH got a grant to scan, digitize, and post on the internet all major documents regarding the Annexation.  They were specifically told to include the Morgan Report.  They paid students to do the work.  They completed the Blount Report and the anti-annexation petitions.  But somehow they never got around to the Morgan Report before running out of money.  Imagine that! And of course nobody would do it without pay.  So my friend Jere Krischel and I got an original of the 808-page Morgan Report, did all the scanning, digitizing, editing, etc. and created a webpage to display photos of every page along with digitized, searchable text.  It took us many months, and we did it without pay to ensure documents from both sides of the controversy would be available to everyone.  Nobody at UH helped with anything.  They would have liked the Morgan Report to stay buried in a dusty archive somewhere, and Tom Dye would then say "students are free to read it whenever they want."


The objective of a hate crime is to target not just the immediate victim, but also others of the same race, religion, sexuality, etc. In other words, if Corporon's father and nephew, as well as the other victims, were killed specifically because they were Christians, it absolutely was a hate crime and needed to be prosecuted as such. Was the perpetrator's objective simply a mass killing (something already far too common in our society), or was there an additional motive of terrorizing Christians? Since he reportedly intended to kill Jews, there's already good evidence that he was targeting a specific group, so the implication is there.

Hate crimes can be pretty hard to pin down, but they should be investigated where evidence exists because often there is an underlying wish to inspire others to engage in the same sort of actions. What perpetrators want is the targeted group to live in fear. No one should fear for their lives because of their race, religion, sexuality, etc.


Big surprise. It's no wonder the inmate's acted up in the first place. One can only take so much. Alaska' "correctional" officers rarely follow regs. Why? Because they're backed by their superiors and have gotten away with it for decades. To look at the DOC website, you'd think inmates were living the good life. Of course, most of the programs they cite don't exist. And just try to look up the refs-they changed the website to offer only extremely limited information. Ive been dealing with the DOC for decades: investigating their own complaints and conducting hearings by the CO that wrote the Infraction which you deny are commonplace. Happens all the time and the Commissioner and all the higher ups know it. I guess they just assume the gullible Alaska public will believe every lie they tell, as usual.


US workers won't directly benefit.  Trump will court US CEO's to return manufacturing jobs to the US (one possible means of averting increased tariffs).

Why did US corporations leave?  Higher costs of manufacturing.

But, higher manufacturing costs will be passed on to US consumers (who are workers, not necessarily in the same manufacturing sector, but workers nonetheless.)

So Henry Ford's ideal of "my workers can afford a Ford" may work.  But they'll be immense re-structuring of the US economy prior to that occurring.

Can the US afford that in such global, economic conditions, where economic power is concentrated in a few individuals?


I didn't catch the name of the defense attorney.
Since the purpose of prison is to protect us from criminals and to teach the criminal that there are consequences, I'd much prefer that Heney, who perhaps is an exception to the rule, spend his time as a contributor instead of as another expense to the state.


If given a chance Hill of Beans will turn us into a 3rd world backward basket case where most are poor, disease is rampant, crime is legal, and government rules.

I "get" the Christian perspective on this story, but these teens need to learn birth control, not abstinence, and parents who place their sons and daughters in abstinence-only environments such as Heritage Academy's are setting their children up for possible tragedy.   Sure -- many, many teens will abstain.   But the reality is that more than a few will not.  Across the planet, among all religions, "social conservatives" who couch their views in terms of religious doctrine usually end up twisting that doctrine beyond recognition.  Christianity is about forgiveness, judgment by the Holy Father, not man, and helping others in the times of their greatest need.   See any of that doctrine in this sad story?


The purpose of Civil Comments seems to be to fly on automatic pilot and minimize the amount of actual judgment that must be exercised by its moderators.

I watched the whole session; concise answers to concise questions and telling it like it is. No long winded this or that, straight forward and very well prepared.

As far as Trump goes, he had a lack of credibility before he started his presidential run, that is before the media started to do more than scratch the surface and it has been a  steady downward slope ever since.


Funny how so many that advocate or operate an illegally LOUD motor vehicle on our roadways respond to adversity with "there are more important things to worry about" - or - if you're a loud biker bully, "My loud pipes save lives."  Let me ask you Leyton, when we get down to where the rubber meets the road, our everyday quality of life...what's more important than a good standard of living, a good quality of life and an environment that is conducive to our health and welfare?

Let me ask you another question...why do you think the US EPA has gone through all of the trouble to regulate motorcycle NOISE to 80 dB(A) and required specific labeling and tampering prohibitions for motorcycles operated on our public roadways?

Buffalo is not a bad team?

OK, let's go with that, just for sake of argument, certainly a convenient self-serving 1 for Your Leafs zombies such as....well, you know whom.  Lose to a rag-tag collection like Buf?  Hey, doncha know, they're not half-bad, eh?  No shame losing to them.

Well, if Buf ain't bad, then neither is Car.  Nor Phi.  Nor Fla.  Nor TB.

NJ and Det have some very good players.  And that covers all the teams in the East, they are all not bad.

So, if teams have hardly any injuries, and get the breaks, none of them are bad teams?

Your Leafs, they are a match for all these teams, so by association, Your Leafs belong in that heap of also-rans who aren't very good, but if everything goes their way, they're not bad.

Lovely convoluted loaded inductive logic, as only lovers can conjure.

You did not even realize you just slagged Your Leafs as just lucky they never had anybody get hurt this season?

Wow.


"But the fact that only a few reporters decided to print these rumours in their entirety PROVES [capitals = my emphasis] just the opposite: that the vast majority of American publications – even ones Mr. Trump usually dislikes! – aren’t out to get him, but that they’re simply out to tell the truth, when they can verify it."

Actually, this one incident does not PROVE anything.  It simply represents evidence on one side of the case for journalists being interested in telling the truth.  The completely illegitimate use of the word "proves", in that context, constitutes evidence on the other side of that case.


I love Alaska because in two years the unity party (what a misnomer) will come to an end. I cannot think of any legislation pushed by Walker that was passed into law that has done much to better Alaskan lives. His, perhaps, but not ours! Total # of words: 50.

yeah, you got that wrong Kelly,

…it's thanks to Obama that they can afford it in Washington,

Washington chose to participate.

it's no thanks to Parnell and the Republican Majority that it's overpriced in Alaska.

You must have forgotten that Parnell and the Republicans chose not to participate.

Our higher rates are a result of that mindless obstruction.

When you seek to tell other people where to lay blame,

…it is a big help if you first learn who really is to blame.

Send your thanks to Parnell and the Republicans.


I am really starting to believe he wants to be forced out of the race so he can blame someone else for his failure of a campaign.


That's right, only the Government should have weapons, not the peasants right?


Given 26% of our GDP is because of the U.S. and only 2% of the American GDP is because of us, that is the only way to go.
No drama.


And why exactly do we want to embrace a country with no human rights laws in place, they are communists and devious conniving criminals. We will only lose jobs and end up buying inferior products at high prices. I say ignore them altogether. If we can't make it here we don't need it.


"Officials in Texas said the contested provisions were needed to protect women’s health,..."

Sure, and a return to back-alley abortions would do wonders for women's health. If the State of ( yes by all means please do secede ) Texas  cared about making abortions healthier it would have funded the unfunded mandate it was foisting on the clinics. Kudos to SCOTUS for seeing through the charade.


I can't imagine that there would be a valid Constitutional claim against the business for enforcing a dress code, save for if the dress code itself was per-se discriminatory. If, and it's a big if, the dress code was put in place because the intent of the dress code was to keep a specific class or demographic group, who is protected under the 14th Amendment, out of the establishment, then that's a different story. Either way, if the APD used the language, as the article purports, and it was the officers' intent to remove him based on his ethnic, religious, etc... status, then it could be an interesting case. If the proprietor actually did ask the officers to remove him, and based their rationale on his dress code alone, then they were likely performing a trespass removal, under the color of law, and aren't liable for those actions. The fact that the establishment denies asking for assistance in removing an 'unwanted patron,' doesn't put the APD in a good spot.


And the CO2 is only a portion of the picture.   Yes, a great deal of CO2 was pumped into the atmosphere previously during the Permian extinction, and that was due to nature.   We have now done the same, more CO2 than has been in the atmosphere for hundreds of thousands of years.   But we haven't merely pumped catastrophic amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, we've also deforested a great deal of the planet and damaged remaining forests with encroachments, we have eradicated wildlife, sealife, fisheries, arable land; we've dumped tons of radioactive waste into the environment and much of it is leaking, and we have around 440 active nuclear power plants that all need constant energy and half a century to shut down; we've polluted the oceans beyond description with giant gyres of plastic and dead zones and sewage and agricultural runoff, and so on.

This is not going to end well, and it's later than most people think.


Paul O'Neill? Really, War planning for Iraq began in 1998, under Bill Clinton, so what? Almost every country practices "What if" and creates contingency plans for a lot of different scenarios. Again, so what? Weapons inspectors? Are you serious? they were continually shut out of sites or delayed more than long enough to move the evidence. There were even sites they were denied access to. Are you also telling me the intelligence services of France, Britain, Russia, China, Germany, Italy and others cooked their information too?


Think of all those that have and are getting away with this, because the City of Mililani, Population over 60,000 does not have a Police Station, HPD must come from Wahiawa (population under 20,000) about 15 minutes too late (depending on traffic).

Yes, the City and County is dicking the Residents of Mililani City by not having a Police Station and City and County of Honolulu Satellite City Hall or Hale.   Kapolei the Lie "Second City" population 19,000.

Pot offers zero healing properties . Any time heated smoke is put into one's lungs , it isn't good for the human body .  When people are impaired on pot they will make poor choices---women are especially at risk .  The real danger is when kids get into and use their parents dope . The developing human brain can recover from alcohol abuse ---but can be damaged forever with a lot of pot use.  Then there's the little kids getting into their parents pot cookies .   People are fools to smoke tobacco and pot . There is no up side for the human body.

If the PCs had elected  a rational, clear-thinking leader  instead of Hudak, the outcome might have been very different.

But no. They - the PCs - went full-court press right-wing nutjob, and a Wynne government was the result.

Will Patrick Brown be able to wrestle the PCs back from the extremist elements in his own party? Might be too early to say, but at this point it doesn't look good.


Well, figure it out, or get over it. Whatever could be on that phone, pales in comparison to the security of all other phones of that kind. Deal with it, it's called, FREEDOM.

Throwing more and more dollars to fund the plan is not the solution.  Benefit level and method of determining the benefits are not working.  Benefits based on high three years of wages, employee contribution level, etc must be re-examined.  However, to do so would be political suicide.  Our politicians must realize that they cannot be accountable only to the pensioners, but also the other taxpayers of the State of Hawaii.  I have not heard of businesses contributing 17% to 41% of payroll to fund pension contributions.


I saw literally dozens of women who were impregnated by their rapists. Yes, it doesn't happen all the time, but we saw forty or so women on a bad week, and ten to fifteen on a good week. Over seventeen years, that adds up.

THE VICTIMS were the ones who wanted the abortions.  A group which you make quite clear you have zero sympathy for.

Your "many people born of rape that have gone on to amazing things" is undoubtedly one more example of your tendency to spin things. I wonder how much love their mothers had for them, given how they were conceived.


Socialist economies are also built on fiat currencies and the fractional reserving banking system.  This is not the exclusive domain of capitalism.


One would think that since this issue has vexed the church for the better part of two millennia they would have come to better resolution, n'est pas?

What does it take our hierarchs to understand that the teaching is based on chiefly misunderstanding of human sexuality and the political hegemony of patriarchy?

If the church repeatedly clings to a teaching that is demonstrably against the very nature of  even the men who constitute the priesthood [both historically and currently], that someone along the line would have gotten the idea that maybe this teaching is a form of idolatry?  Dontcha' think?

Why would a hierarchy of a church that follows the teachings of the Beatitudes continually ask men to lie everyday about the fundamental truth of their being, their person?


What?


We have a massive epidemic of rape at the hands of men, but let's make sure all of our language is carefully couched so that men don't get their feelings hurt over it.


Of course.  And you know more about the business than the commissioner and the owners?

Well that makes perfect sense!


Oily Dung going away.


I concur. The problem is that the Republic party's been at this for more than 20 years. The Democrats are racing to catch up.
How about amending the First Amendment to ban all political parties?

The National Popular Vote bill would replace state winner-take-all laws that award all of a state’s electoral votes to the candidate who get the most popular votes in each separate state (not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, but later enacted by 48 states), in the enacting states, to a system guaranteeing the majority of Electoral College votes for, and the Presidency to, the candidate getting the most popular votes in the entire United States.

The bill retains the constitutionally mandated Electoral College and state control of elections, and uses the built-in method that the Constitution provides for states to make changes. It ensures that every voter is equal, every voter will matter, in every state, in every presidential election, and the candidate with the most votes wins, as in virtually every other election in the country.


Shouting down and disrupting is free speech, too.  It's not opposition to speech.  It's opposition to the message.  Big difference.

Salmond is now a Westminster MP, again. Don't think he isn't feeding nippy her lines.


Okay so if the oil industry up here in Alaska is dying. Why not start slowly investing into newer found resources. Would the mining industry help uplift this debt we are currently facing and help it keep the PFD if we Alaskans along with the Legislature draft up a amendment and a contract with each big mine that is currently in the state and set aside a percentage that could benefit Alaskans and for the mine (workers and such). Would this plan work theoretically?


"We" most certainly did not create this problem. The feral cat problem, and the mongoose problem, pre-existed the birth of anyone alive today. The cat problem is continued by the large number of people whose goal is to feel good about themselves by being nice to anthropomorphised feral cats. They are predators which destroy incredible numbers of birds and pollute the environment as well. Feral cats are in fact a form of biological pollution. We probably cannot wipe them out but we could dramatically reduce their numbers by all out hunting.


You are amazing.  You and your buddy Outsider77 would have had a fit if the JUDGE (not the DA or the police) sentenced him to years in prison for those crimes.  This is a tragedy, plain and simple, and to place blame on the piloce and the DA lacks both credibility and knowldege.  It is easy to criticize from the cheap seats.  Funny how we never see you or 77 out in front.


Lets start by privatizing the Seward Highway, The Genn Highway, the Parks Highway, and the Dalton Highway.  We pay fuel taxes for all of those and never get to use them when you live in South East Alaska.


Yours, too!!

And I too hope one day you will not feel it necessary to offer nothing but criticism...."but obviously not today...."


Yes, your quote from Galatians is often used as well by those who urge caution re: Marian apparitions; however, you might check out the following from Luke 9:49-50 in regard to tolerance of those who  preach the gospel of Jesus, are self proclaimed Christians, but not Catholic-Christians.
"It was John who said, "Master, we saw a man using your name to expel demons, and we tried to stop him because he is not of our company." Jesus told him in reply, "Do not stop him, for anyone who is not against you is on your side."

Advent is feeling more like an extended Ash Wednesday this year. More like Kaddish or sitting Shiva...a very Old Testament Advent that seems more connected to sorrow than to the Coming of Christ. Maybe its the inseparable nature of Christmas and Easter, of Advent and Lent... vivified. I am grateful to have Advent brought to the fore... here. More please.


"If he accepted Jesus, he's in Heaven."

An interesting assertion.  And, yet, there is no evidence to support such a claim.


Senator Campbell is paid over a hundred grand a year, since 2008, as a director for Great Canadian, and has amassed over a million dollars worth of shares.

He seems to have declined all comment over his involvement.


BellyPottymind is gone, but Raymond Suttner remains. While citing him as "a scholar and political analyst … part-time … and an Emeritus Professor … ", Daily Manc — this is an "OpEd", after all — omits his ZANC membership. . .

"last year’s … elections the ANC…lost three major metros, in addition to Cape Town, …no opposition party obtained 50% … in any metro "  a minor Freudian slip (the DA won 66% in CT) but showing Red Raymond's wish projection.

"… the strongest party that leads the coalition, … will do everything in its power to hold the coalition together." Again, the learned part-time & emeritus Prof reveals more about himself and his ZANC-think that about the DA:  the DA has made it clear that they have learned the lesson of their bad marriage with a NP splinter: they would rather be in opposition that compromise principles; Suttner's prescription is about power at all cost (and under the ZANC it's the poor paying the most).


Any dealing with a Russian bank that was under U.S. and European sanctions would be clearly illegal under U.S. law. Therefore, why would Kushner meet with them? Something is very fishy.

You're right about your descriptor.


Once again that eeeee-vee-ill merrywanna has hypnotized good people and turned them into criminals. There's no doubt that but for the existence of cannabis that the culprits in this case would have instead been singing in the church choir on Sundays, working as full time volunteers at the soup kitchen feeding the hungry and helping diminutive, elderly women negotiate busy traffic intersections in their spare time.There's no doubt whatever that were it not for the existence of merrywanna that there would be no crime in our society!


Really our market is driven by foreign investors and withup  the dollar moving 12 cents in the past few months I would not be jumping in yet. The rise has hurt my investments, I sold a third of my US when we hit 72 cents, but the rest which I bought when a dollar was a dollar are doing great, I was hoping to make 15% more when I sold but Sunny Ways has pressured the BOC to raise rates and as a result my gain will be reduced. I do not see a roaring economy, I see no work for me and my friends, a few part time jobs but nothing really, like a good old civil servant job for life and big fat pension. Taxes are killing us, overstated economy is killing us, understated inflation is killing us, all while we give out Canada Energy to the US with a big discount because as JT thinks the Americans are our friends.


Plus, it could keep Washington State pot from undermining BC's most profitable domestic industry.


Still enabling Erick I see. Somethings never change. Btw- check out Rodney almandinger on courtview.


Well said CJM.  The fact that the Liberals are keeping the details of the infrastructure bank from the public yet have already "pitched" their ideas to several big global institutional investors and sovereign wealth funds is very unsettling.
How is the gov't going to pay interest to the investors and at what rate, for me, is a very important question.  I haven't seen the media asking many questions and yet are allowing the Gov't to stonewall them unlike anything I have seen in the past 15 years.


Violence must be denounced, period.

in Charlottesville violence was denounced with violence

"Syllabus of Errors" was written by Pope Pius IX in 1864.  Actually "Mirari Vos" written by Pope Gregory XVI in 1832---condemned liberalism as "this false and absurd maxim, or better this madness, that everyone should have and practice freedom of conscience,"

Fine, but there is always root cause to everything.

Our Society has lost it's way. People, families, communities and countries fail and crumble without strong values, morals, ethics and principles.

As such, the stresses, anxiety, depression and their side effects can be partly attributed to what Canada has now become - a "grey" society.

From the outside looking in, it appears that no one has anything to believe in or aspire to anymore. All they see/hear is dread, self-pity, entitlement, staggering debt and victimhood.

Our children are showing the symptoms

Dang, I seem to have touched an ignorant troll. I did read the article but was and am unclear on who shot the kid. Obviously you know who did it because you are truth masquerading as evil.

Not to go to far afield here, but it was Mr. Bruce who also advocated using, let's just say, what later became George Carlin's "Seven Words You Can't Say On The Radio", and to use them "over and over and over until they mean nothing and can't hurt some poor little kid anymore . . ."


Simple solution.. Vote the bums out. From a former born and raised Ontarian now living in a fiscally responsible western province.


The example of  Emily Maitlis that Elizabeth mentions reminds me of Canadian law. In Canada you cannot pay a woman less than a man for doing the same job.

As co-hosts would seem to imply same job, doesn't Britain have an equivalent of our law?

Typical City Council with the coconut head in the sand. Do you think they gave any discussion on how to enforce this law? Pupule all the way with this one!!


I thought you were an independent.


Actually Doyle, you're part of the Fake news system but you can't see it.

I think of all the possible shows that Canadian TV could have made over the years, all the channels we could have had and quality news services we could have had, if Canadian TV ever had a chance to compete against the government.

The CBC pays the most to any news anchor, journalist and TV celebrity, not because the CBC is that good, no actually, because they receive billions-tax money. No matter how good, bad or mediocre, the CBC keeps going and all other Canadian TV just can't compete with the billion dollar advantage that the CBC has on everyone else.

I then think of the narratives, messages and picked stories that the CBC tells us and then think of the ones that so many Canadians won't hear...because the CBC is an extension of the Liberal party. We've already seen how stories are buried or hidden because of the topic or how some continue  way too long...cause of politics.

The CBC ultimately is wrong


I didn't take her to be trashing the Gates foundation. I thought her primary criticism was of the disparity between the supports available to wealthier women, to have whatever families they like on whatever terms they like, and the resources available to poor women. She points out how the deck is stacked against the poor, and particularly women of color.  I didn't get that she thought they shouldn't have access to birth control. Rather, it seemed that she thought they should have access to humane employment, child care, health care, housing, educational opportunities, and the whole range of social goods that women of greater means enjoy, as they build and nurture their own families. Access to birth control alone is insufficient. The idea that the greatest impediment to the well-being of the poor is their own fertility is a falsehood that lets the privileged off the hook. There is a lot more than birth control that everyone should have access to. At least, that's how I read it.


Traddies aside (they're not who I've had in mind), the parishes that have at long last gone not pre-V2 or post-V2 but exactly V2--the ones at long last doing exactly what Vatican II called for in sacred art, architecture, liturgy, and lay involvement / common priesthood of the faithful--seem to be doing better than congregations still stuck with the disorders and wreckage Eugene Walsh, Rembert Weakland, Virgil Funk, and countless others imposed in defiance of the plain letter of Vatican II.

I have in mind congregations like OLOP, the cathedral parish in Santa Rosa, Cantius, or Sacred Heart in Grand Rapids.

These congregations produce vocations, keep their 20-somethings,  have a much more even ratio of men to women in the pews, and they evangelize.  Of course, one would need some hard data to rule out a self-selection effect, and bishops are reluctant to collect such data for the obvious reasons.


Any update on this story ADN?


Don't you have a better argument than setting up a straw man ? Is humor and sarcasm really that difficult for you to understand ? I thought you and Icon were kidding when you would take things literally (through your own misinterpretation), but you are obviously not.

Travel ban! Travel ban!!


Actually those folks had good reason to riot as did those in the 60's.  It changed America for the good.  Rioting because of  the results of an election anywhere in American history is rare.
But the reaction to the recent election does not show burned businesses and riot torn streets such as you mention.  Again American are not rioting.  Upset?...yes.

With that said, I despise Trump based on the campaign, But.. I am willing to take a "wait and see" approach. His bravado will change dramatically once he has to attend a mass shooting service or welcome a dead soldier home from a mission he ordered. He will be dealing with the lives of people every second of the day,  not people's money.  Trump's change will be profound, more so for his supporters.  Trump has seen "The Book" of secrecy concerning US security since the election and he has already changes his rhetoric.  What ever you think of him it must be overwhelming for him.  I pity anyone who becomes President.


You keep repeating that line and that is not what  H.J. Res. 40 is about.
 EVERYONE still needs to go through a background check.

A mental impairment doesn't necessarily mean a person is violent. BTW, this has the blessing of the ACLU.

I didn't hear about the Christian thing with Shockley is he a member of your church? Wouldn't surprise me that someone of such low character was passing themselves off as a Christian.

Secondly I didn't condemn the D- Party, what I wrote was " Seems the Democrats in Oregon have some real dark horses in their barn yard",  "some real dark horses" speaks to individuals as opposed to saying ALL D-Party members are dark horses. Gee I would hope they not all lairs like Obama, Hillary, Kitzhaber, Bean and Shockley but maybe I'm wrong? I really like Eugene City Councilor George Poling and he is registered democrat.


He who says the least often has the most truth to share. I agree with you George.

Can we get rid of the ages old video/article about Joe Biden thinking he "needs Canada" and  also the one about John Glen on the online version... they've been there since at least January and we don't see that we need some American to give us confidence in our existence day after day!!


Sen. Bill Wielechowski is beginning to impress me. He's more fiscally responsible that many R's!

Regarding new revenues, how many people know that our second largest "state owned" resource--FISH---is not taxed at all? That's right. We get a measly 3% landing "tax", all of which is "walled off" and is used to fund ASMI sales-- the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute. FIshermen call it a "self-tax"--more like a "self-serving" tax!

We give fishing permits away; we don't assess the owners based on the value of their haul, as we should. It's "our fish"!

There is no excuse for this resource giveaway, given the wealth this "privatized" resource yields to individuals. Some say "An income tax will hit these people in the same manner it will hit Slopers who live out of State. So pass an income tax!"

That might work, but it's a delay tactic and doesn't address the real issue: Before Alaskans pay an income tax, those who harvest our resources need to pay something to the General Fund.


Neither China nor South Korea wishes NK or the regime to fail in a catastrophic manner. It would mean 26million+ refugees, possibly the largest people movement since ww2, would have to be housed, fed and dealt with. And these are people with few skills and worldview adapted to modern technological societies...

China and South Korea both want controlled, systematic and measured changes to happen to North Korea.

I will be a True Amurcan Patriot, and get on The Donald Trump News Hour! Yes!  I'm going for it! Manager!


R-I-G-H-T...   Instead of saying what you mean, have a cadre of enablers "explain" your "real" meaning.


It is clear to see that complexity is beyond your grasp. Simple black and white appears to be all that you can see - and you will degrade all comments into this one-bit perception that you purposely foster and cultivate to justify your beliefs.

None of my comments "blamed" anyone - and if your mind was less clouded and rigid you could see this - along with those of us that can. Interestingly enough,  any student of language could point out to you, that defending a misinterpreted point in a discussion, is often a classic indirect acknowledgement of your own acceptance and believe in that point.

Your comment would be unintentionally hilarious, if it wasn't just so tragically sad.


What does hard line religious fundamentalism, whether Islam or Christian, have to do with liberals? That makes no sense. Hard line Islam is the kissing cousin of fundamentalism sharia Christians in the US who want to dictate and control people's lives.


I think you are missing the point. This article speaks to the large number of middle income earners whose main source of income in retirement will come from their RRSP/RRIF.  It does not concern the wealthy. It concerns those who may by withdrawing their retirement savings for other purposes (housing in particular) and winding up in poverty in their senior years as a result. Alexandra Macqueen is a highly reputable writer and teacher on retirement and pensions (co-authored a book with Moshe Milevsky). Yes, there are articles in the G&M that seem like promos for the investment industry, but this is not one of them.

That the articles are being read is a large assumption.  I just guess most folks read the headline, maybe a few sentences then straight to the comments.  That has to be the case given the idiotic things people post.


Disturbing, so in total, 26 men have been arrested in approximately 1-2 days for sex trafficking in Oregon.  According to the link under 'Latest wire news'  11 men were arrested by Portland police, same tactics were used to arrest the 15 mentioned in this article...
