True, JJ,  we sometimes read about people who tried to walk out but failed, and rescuers  find the car first- but the media  usually don't bother to write  articles  about all those  folks  who safely walked out.
 (I can immodestly state that with all my adventures and misadventures I've never had to sit and wait to be found.  Closest was on a high ridge over the N. Umpqua where w'ed suffered two flat tires, but my buddy had his bike and rode  miles downhill to a phone in a store on the highway where he called a tow truck.)
Ah, Judy, the log truck driver's daughter--we were going up a steep gravely road when the car slipped sideways and ended up stuck with a big boulder behind a rear wheel so couldn't back up, and though we tried putting down branches etc. we couldn't get traction to go forward---
Judy gets her little car jacked up, we push it sideways and it moves as the jack falls over; we do it again and voila, we're clear of the boulder, we back up, and find a way to go forward.


Sorry. I remember the days of the UI Ski Team tee-shirts.


Please stop saying "no one feels it."  If you want to say you don't feel it, that's fine.  But I know plenty of others who do.


Don't worry a large part of the solution in reducing the anxiety epidemic and I'm serious is to vote the Liberal governments out in Ontario and in Ottawa and start to get their fiscal houses in order along with an emphasis on promoting businesses and cutting government pensions and salaries and personnel and regulations that are killing our country and not allowing us to compete on the world stage.


Does Maxie buy HIMSELF all those leis?????

Seriously...virtually E V E R Y single photo of him, he's sporting one...


Also, as mentioned, the person in charge seems to have an appreciation for the Proteas cricket team, as a range of non-tweeting accounts bear the names of Proteas players, or a combination of one Protea’s name and another’s surname were made, such as:
David de kock 		@deviddekock
Jean Paul		        @jeanpauld12
John Miller 		        @jomiller25
Jean Morkel 		        @jnmorkel
Mangaliso Mosehle 	@mosehle25
Lungisani Ngidi 		@lungisani1234
Heino Ngidi 		        @hngidi2
Tabraiz shamsi 		@tabraiz12345
Dane Hendricks 	        @dahendricks2
Temba Bavuma 		@tbavuma2
Jason Smuts 		@jsmuts2

It is telling that while these fake nobodies and fake Proteas have not tweeted yet, they are all following each other, with the similar follower count in the mid-30s. Pretty good going for not having tweeted, ever.

Some of the older paid accounts are still active, such as @Unbiasedview1 and @france4u2. They are also dutifully following and retweeting the new wave of recent signups.


Weird.


The Government should NOT be telling Doctors what and how much to prescribe.


Can a branch of state gov't be sued? Can the Legislative Council be sued as an entity? If not then the State gets sued and the AG's office defends. Rule 34(b) must be changed and the Council reined in. The Coucil has evolved into a rogue government that apparently feels votes are not necessary much less public information and does whatever it darn well pleases. There has to be a way to hold its members accountable for these debacles. Alaska continues to demonstrate that it is not capable of governing itself.


There is no place to hide, from nuclear radiation.

There is no place to hide, from a direct hit, from a nuclear missile.

There are not enough medical clinics, mobile hospital units, or hospitals, to support more than 50,000 sick or injured people.

There is not enough radiation medicine, for 1 million people.

There are not enough decontamination units, for 1 million people.

There is not enough storage space, for more than 50,000 bodies.

What exactly, is the shelter-in-place plan, or the evacuation plan?

The US Military, would have to send all of its Pearl Harbor Fleet, as far out into the Pacific as possible, to avoid Pearl Harbor 2.


where did he blame the victims?  He's blaming a clash of ideologies and cultures.  The victims were individuals, not a culture.
.
although I suspect you would blame western culture for fostering an environment that leads to muslim terrorism Alceste.  Am I wrong?


Make it so say we all!


It sure does look like that the DMC will be made fools of yet again.

The rapidly accumulating evidence, soon to be displayed, will show that the Russian connection was a pure figment of the Obama imagination and that Trump is yet right again.

He was indeed under surveillance by Obama/Clinton during the 2016 election.

This ranks well above Watergate and should see Obama/Clinton reduced in public opinion to the likes of McCarthy.

Of course, this was highly predictable given that the DMC had fixed the convention so that Sanders could not win.

Skullduggery in American politics has reached new lows, thanks to the desperate ploys of the Liberal Left/ MSM conspiracy to employ Goebbbel like propaganda tactics against American voters.

Not unlike what is happening here in Canada..


What year did you play.  I followed the Hawkeye's for the last 30 years, I might recognize you.   Who was coach?   I'm guessing Hayden, but Ferentz has been there forever so....


Cruise companies do not need Alaska. I try to take two cruises each and every year. It's the best value for my dollars. I also spend money in the gift shops, restaurants, beverage stands, jewelry shops, clothing stores, art stands, side trips, sightseeing, grocery stores (Gotta have those snacks!), buy sundries, books, local cuisine items (key lime pie on a stick, anyone?), use taxis, perhaps get a haircut, etc. Lately I have trouble walking so I rent a little scooter and use it on the ship and in port. The crew allows me to park outside my cabin door. They put it away for me and return it charged up every morning before I awake. I take it to the dining table, they park it off to the side and return it after I'm finished. Many others also use the service, it's just $138.00 and certainly worth it. The point is a lot more people make an extra dollar or two when I arrive on a ship. You should try it sometime. You also may need to buy a plane ticket and rent a car to get there and back.


Come on Monkey, statistics as well as polls can be so misleading and the point remains that the statistics do not mean a thing to the victim.  He/she is not just a number but an actual victim who could care less after the fact.  Statistically there are very few surfing fatalities at Waimea Bay when it is breaking 20-30ft so why don't you go paddle into the line up and catch a few.  The polls say that Hellary would win overwhelmingly over Trump.  Get it?  Lol!


The people in this State rail against Children's Services.  As such, parents are free to do pretty much whatever they want with their kids.  They can say that the kids are home schooled, and that's that.  This is what Alaskans and especially Tea Party Republicans have been after for years and years.  This is an obvious outcome, and, of course, it is only a misdemeanor.


Criminals deserve whatever the law ordains.


James, you are invited to join our West Sound cleanup crew for this fall's Island Cleanup event. We want you on our team! We picked up a lot of trash this past spring, but you could teach us a thing or two, and have fun doing it with us.


It takes no equipment nor people to cut no timber and process nothing.  A maintenance free operation.  No pollution.  No trees cut.  No roads needed.  No biologists,  limnologists,  foresters,  ad infinatum.  And,  fuel loads increase annually.  It will burn and the land will erode,  and it will reburn,  and the land will erode again.  Old growth to planted trees in a year was once the case,  and now it is stand removal fire,  and zero trees planted,  a reburn,  and miles and miles of perennial brush fields with no trees,  young or old.  Just fuel for the next lightning storm.  Oh.  And no revenue.  Just outgo.  Expenses.


The mayor is the first person quoted in the story. It's the statement/reason he included with the bill. Who else should we have contacted? The city council? Check. Other municipalities? Check. Government transparency experts? Check.
So how is this a hatchet job? The city attorney billed Langley for responding to a reporter's question (he declined the request in an email ) and the mayor — the manager at city hall —sent the bill to the newspaper. The people/sources in the story were all explained the circumstances and they responded with their opinions.
“…I can’t think of any circumstance when the news media would have to pay for any city staff’s time, whether they’re contracted staff or in-house staff.” — Toby Nixon.
"Thomas Gill and Rene Neff both said billing reporters for time spent speaking to a city employee, even a contracted one, was inappropriate and that they believe the issue should be discussed by the entire council."
So again, where's the hatchet job?


"an average lifespan of 30 to 35 years", You are making up figures and then claiming "Everything I say above is historically accurate" - truly disingenuous of you. If you look at the life of many natives now, it is arguably much worse than the life they would have had without "wheels" and "mathematics". And no, the lifespan of hunter-gatherers was not "30 - 35", that is a common fallacy/propaganda to make modern people feel good about themselves. According to some studies, at least 30% of hunter gatherers lived past an average modal lifespan of 72. The great difference is in child mortality today due to the advent of antibiotics.


All churches are full of sinners.

That is a common phrase for pastors who feel the hypocrisy of self-righteousness.   Please don't make the mistake of assuming all Christian or even all Christian evangelical churches are the same.

Any person of serious faith would know that Christian have all the same human frailties that non Christians have.  You might agree with that?

My pastor regularly sited studies that showed Christian behaviors, as a large group, are almost identical to the behaviors of those of with no religious faith.  He said it with a touch of sadness, knowing this is true, but also as reminder that faith requires deep understanding and commitment.   Behavior does count.


They sound like petulant looting busy-bodies, don't they?


Klastri, Mythman knew they were undocumented the same way you know Trump is psychotic.  He pulled it out of his arse.


A justice who doesn't legislate from the bench? Whats next? A literal interpretation of the separation of powers? God in heaven! What will we do?


Was a rape kit done on her? Is there DNA? This is so disturbing and sad. It's so sad that the laws allow for this type of circumstances happen. I understand why but these cases really makes us question it.


1.  At the beginning of Harper's term it was a minority govt and he had to run a deficit to keep in power.
2.  Then the world financial crisis.
3.  A GST cut increased disposable income and ultimately more NGO jobs.  The question, was it great enough to increase tax revenue to offset the GST revenue loss.  What so many economists do not understand, (on both sides) -- Tax increases do affect NGO jobs, AND Tax decreases do not create as many jobs as predicted and there is time delay on tax decreases.


jackcbv do you get off at Lying?


No, that website offers no proof at all that a service dog could ever perform the job, that this lady describes.   Her account sounds totally incredulous, to me.


Yep, She is not acting in the best interest of the country if she is running for president while dying.  Outside and overheated at 9:00 AM in NYC in mid September ... it's not the weather.  The stress of living a life of lies will eventually catch up with you.


To add some  balance to the lop-sided conspiracy theories  read these.....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Nixon.....and this...https://www.nixonfoundation.org/2013/11/richard-nixon-november-22-1963/        I don't believe Nixon was a killer.  Not a chance he had anything to do with his friends death.  Yes, Kennedy and Nixon were friends. They were on different teams, politically,  but found common ground In more things than not. Something which is lacking in politics today...


Fascism today does not need jack booted brown shirts to impose its will. All it needs, it seems, is control of social media. The Russian Candidate's many minions are willing to do his bidding, shouting down the opposition while promoting his message.

We are living in an age when science no longer solves our social problems. Many are reverting to faith or demagogues because nothing else seems to work. Humans have always been susceptible to these forces. We are reverting to them for lack of better options.

When Hitler and Mussolini came to power there were social crises in their respective nations that ordinary people could do nothing about. Elected governments were ineffectual. Still, people were more self reliant and radio/movie theatres were the extent of social media. They were less susceptible to the message and therefor resisted. Today we are sheep.

It is time we reassessed what fascism means around the world because the US is not unique.


As I understand it, a lot of these asylum seekers are Haitians coming to Canada via the US is because of an earthquake there in 2010.  Trump has threatened to deport all, so each case needs to be looked at individually, it may not be safe for all to be sent back to Haiti.

Trump is absolutely right. According to a secret report delivered to him by an alternative facts checker known as Elvis, an Overseas Strategic Services operative has listed hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens from Alpha Centauri Bb, a newly discovered planet, who have the uncanny ability to mirror humans. They are the culprits.  Since these aliens are able to get driving licences, Trump's assertion that they voted for Hilary is perfectly logical.  To make sure this is not Fake News, a gag order has been issued to all environmental agencies not to have anything to do with the media.  This in itself is proof positive that Trump knows what he's talking about.  So listen up.

Actually you are the one who should do more research. Trudeau has many numbered companies, real estate and off shore accounts. In fact, one of his companies directors specializes in off shore tax issues. The $1.21m originally reported vastly understates trudeaus inherited wealth.
Last week the globe listed all trudeaus and morneaus off shore and numbered accnt. Its nauseating.

One "actual scientist" agrees with your position, and the entire rest of the world, except Syria, agrees with the Paris Accord. You really don't have much to hang your hat on on this one.

We have "An" open court system.


The church left the classist views of people during Vatican Council II.  It recognized THEN, what changes had been going on in the world since the cultural catastrophes of WWI and WWII.  Society and culture CHANGED far more than anyone could have anticipated.  The traditional Western European [and American] understanding of marriage [as a preindustrial agrarian arrangement that viewed both children and family as economic] rather than as emotional units has gone.

The 1930's were filled with Catholic writings that attempted to help couples understand marriage in their chaotic world.  Many of these writings came from Europe:  In France, Abbe Violler published  MARRIAGE [1932], THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MARRIAGE [1936] CHRISTIAN LAW AND MARRIAGE [1936].  In Germany, Dietrich von Hildebrand, published MARRIAGE [1936].  In 1935, Herbert Doms's book ON THE MEANING AND END OF MARRIAGE was published.  By the time of Vatican II, the concept of Companionate Marriage had been going on for 40 years.

Hang in there Mazie.  It is time for demcorats though to start acting as democrats and offer an alternative to the Donald.  Why don't you follow the Donald's past support of single pay health care and push for single pay?  Obama care or more properly called Nixon care was never as good as a single pay system.  Yes it will be expensive but you know what?  Americans are worth it.  It is disgusting for the world's richest country to have one of the worst health care systems.


Mike Harris government worked extremely well. You must be a teacher.
Your wrong about Harper and if corporations hold cash on their balance sheet that is the business of the shareholders not the general public. Should the government have the right to tell you when to spend your money?

As for Reagan he was using the Trudeau spend like a manic approach and the 1980s is when the debt levels started accumulating.

Don't have any idea why you would assume I'm in the least angry. I learned something many years ago eric, take off ones glasses and take a look at oneself from the perspective of others. It is very "eye" opening.
I have in the past voted for both parties, however, if we are honest with ourselves, by answering this simple question it is plain to see the dem. party talks a good game but the facts don't add up. Lets take the question in two parts shall we? First, since the inner cities have been controlled by the dems. for over fifty years are those citizens better off now? Lets shorten the time frame up okay? Are the inner city citizens better off now then they were 7 years ago? Honest answer, please don't go off on a rant about how evil the right wing citizens of this country are. This speaks to the point of blind followers of the dem. party, folks just listen to the talking points they are told to believe and don't bother questioning the dem. or repub. leaders.


Make sure Gary Bettman gets the memo.

It's not only the interest that matters it's also the lose of liquidity in the market.
Home Capital and all their peers are no longer lending just renewing.
The worst part about a home purchase today is that even if you put down 20% the bank may only value the home you bought at 85% of what you paid and loan you 80% of that amount. On 1M dollars that means they will only lend you
$680,000 because they know equity is dropping and they need a "margin of safety".
The fact also remains: no investor will pay 10% transaction cost(5% on purchase 5% on sale) for an asset with a negative cash flow which is losing value.


She tried very hard to talk over him,,, but she just was no match for someone telling the truth and not ashamed of it.


ummmmm charging someone more or refusing them coverage for needing coverage is exactly the kind of immoral behavior that the ACA has now made illegal.

People like you who suggest others should be charged a "penalty" for circumstances beyond their control are really reprehensible. I'm supposed to be compassionate but instead I wish very hard that you are someday on the receiving end of your lack of compassion for others.


Overall I sympathise with Boyden. He is now the victim of a thousand cheap shots by never-will-be writers and creators. As if his writing can be so easily dismissed as inauthentic. His predicament speaks to the chaos of where we are on identitytheory especially when it is linked to identity based on blood and biology. Allen Mills


Women are complicit with sexist ads because deep down they know that beauty is power, and that Dove's earnest message that beauty comes in all shapes is the equivalent of a well-meaning grade school teacher saying that all children are special.  It may be a depressing truth (one that idealists have fought since biblical times and earlier), but most people want to identify with society's winners, hence the ongoing popularity of "unrealistic" ads.

If "universal health care" means everybody gets health care but not everybody gets absolutely everything possible, then America has that too, better than most places.

If "universal health care" means everybody, rich or poor, gets the same health care, then Europe doesn't have that either. I know this because I work for a world-class medical research institute, and we get a continuous stream of wealthy Europeans who come buy health care options their own systems do not provide.

If "universal health care" is a euphemism for the government decides who can have what within the national borders, well, good, we don't have that and we don't want it.

If "universal health care" means "How dare rich successful people have things I can't have! I drmand the government make them buy me all that stuff too or take away theirs!" then forget it. Won't happen. Never has, never will.


I have a number of classic cars, and tire decay is an issue. Generally, tire gets damaged when a) it is loaded in place b) it is exposed to the sun. Otherwise, it can easily last decades. I have seen full size spares that were as-new 10 years later.

Trump is only and always a liar, a bully, a divider, a narcissist, and a megalomaniac. Despite the efforts of Trump’s enablers, reasonable people are getting more than a little nervous about the current occupant of the Oval Office.


If you think you're ALREADY paying too much, then what do you think will happen under single-payer?  Do you think healthcare will become free?  Do you think the pharmaceutical and medical technology companies will stop driving up the price.....no way Jose


So it's an unwinnable war, regardless of whose strategy-de-jour is operational. We've been losing for 16 years with no hope in sight. Trump will continue to lose this  war, just as Obama did, and just as Bush did before him. The war was effectively over when Bush failed to pursue Osama into the Tora Bora Hills. It was all downhill from there.


The guy was a lose cannon, given to flakey, impulsive decisions that reflected badly on the FBI and on the AG of two administrations.

Trump was right to listen to AG Sessions and Sessions was right to advocate jettisoning this needless ballast early in Trump’s first term.


I agree 100% with everything here. Bruce Campbell is my favorite philosopher.

This analysis of Buchanan and Rothbard show the tinge of racism found in the libertarian movement, which is more than smoking pot while living in your mother’s basement watching Star Trek. While the Austrians did not get their juice from Rothbard, they share the common view that taxation is theft, especially if the spending does not benefit you. Such a not only lacks empathy but is wrong. Redistribution is necessary when a public debt is owed to the poor for past discrimination, which is why Libertarias resist the idea of reparations or that monopsony is a bad thing that can be remedied through a minimum wage. Public Choice economics, like Catholic moral theology, asserts that there is only one way of life, theirs. The Culutral Theory of Douglas and Wildavsky show that there are four: Hierarchy, Equalitarianism, Libertarianism and Despotism. Of course, many southern racists and Catholic trads meet in despotism without knowing it.


Cont'd
Why would a non-US national be offended that US cities are destroying monuments which glorify white supremacy and racism?
If history were being erased as you claim, then all references to the South and the Confederacy would be removed from textbooks, and no museums would exist that reference that period. There are many museums throughout the US that include exhibits about the Confederacy.  None of those places are being shuttered.  No history books are being rewritten to remove mention of the Confederacy, nor are scholarly texts being purged from libraries.  No one is being punished for mentioning the Confederacy.
Sadly, white supremacy is alive and well in this country.  As evidenced by the many of the participants in the Charlottesville rally, the movement appears to have adherents among the younger generation.
Again, I fail to understand why the removal of these monuments would offend you.


The governor general stands with truth and factual accuracy.

Where are the elders and adults? or council leaders?..?  and why would they even consider adding alcohol to the currently available (legal/illegal?) mix in our communities?
Leaders, or people who claim to be leaders don`t see damage like that and just accept it.
Alcohol is already a double hit on a town and community that is currently dry, with the agony it causes from either being readily available or smuggling, as well as draining income that families could use.    The affects of alcohol cannot be ignored while deaths from other reasons are seen as somehow more tragic. They are all tragic.  I understand the heroin is being given out free at first to get you hooked... and headed down a one-way road that more often than not ends in death.  I know it`s a free country but gee whiz is this the price we pay and is this the example we hold out to the rest of the world about America?  So it seems...


All this mean is that Muslims will get preferential treatment. Non Muslims need not apply. Its is what they want any way. Will they get prayer rooms and segregated seating in the stores?  Expect halal food ( which funds and finances religious activism)  to replace the current selection.


Good Luck ! Next Man Up.


I'm not getting your point.  You're saying because you personally didn't notice many semi-autos, they didn't exist?


If you checked, where are your links to substantiate?


Stejen calls the AP the Socialist Press.  Far, hard right wing extremists, like Stejen, really don't know the meaning of the word socialist.  That plus the high probability that he or she is getting "information" from Breitbart, Alex Jones, Limbaugh and others in the true fake news industry.


David Lane, oh brother. Another ridiculous, bloated settlement.

It seems to me that a lower bunk wouldn't have been adequate, and he should have been on a mattress on the floor. Sounds a medical staff assignment error or something. Or maybe inadequate facilities?


As I pointed out... rifles can be bump fired without using bump-stocks, so banning them would accomplish absolutely nothing.  A ban won't stop the bump firing of rifles.

What exactly is your reasoning for wanting bump-stocks banned?  Just as a fuzzy, feel-good token gesture?


Most of the time people married to each other (or not have sex,) it is recreational.  What do you call it when your priest masturbates or when your pastor has an affair with a married or single woman.  Yes they are braking their own vows.  However, recreational sex is a profound need for most all adult humans.   It is a source of a bonding for people in love, it is simply relief if they are not in love.  The ideas that the catholic "positions of dogma" on sexuality, love, reproduction and family has any validity is what is in real question.  Long standing Deprivation does not lead people closer to God.  It leads to people that are ill!  Certainly this is true of the schizoid personality traits celibacy causes in the truly celebrate clerics. In the non celibate cleric it causes false guilt.  Those that really are celibate and are good people, are good not because of celibacy but inspite of the fact that they are abusing their own needs.


You're making my point for me, Jim: They take the drugs/DUI situation, where someone *might* get hurt, more seriously than the sexual abuse and physical assault situations, where two women *actually did* get hurt. The UO athletic department has a well established reputation for not taking seriously their male athletes' abusive behavior toward women.


Tolerance and acceptance of bigotry only encourages it. Appeals to white identity--which are at the heart of the statues' meaning--are associated with segregation, lynching and nostalgia for slavery and secession, social structures that are EXACTLY what you say we should avoid: "one people telling another people how to live their lives."

Surely you can see this. Why would a republic seek to idolize this legacy of tyranny and oppression?


ahh, as I would have expected.  You might regard that six of the thirteen letters of Paul are considered forgeries.  1900 plus years does not serve you well either.  The rest of the western world has made major advances during those years.  The church none.  It is contained in a fixed, static dogma and doctrine which it insists is not changeable...but the western world knows better and is accepting and adapting to the discoveries of modern science.
Even worse;  Paul says that he received none of his information from any apostle or disciple, or from oral tradition.  He never met Jesus and received all his information from hallucination.  Amazing sticking fast to a time in which demons, miracles, superstition, magic were accepted over what we know today as fact.


What is wrong with you posters who spew hate for people that believe that the history of our country needs to be preserved.  This world is upside down, really the extreme left and the media has lost its mind.


He doesn't read it...he just spews pro Trump nonsense...


I was thinking more along the lines of "Tit-For-Tat" by Putin or maybe "What goes around comes around." or maybe "Glass Houses and Throwing Stones"....


I once made a "on the phone" gesture by putting my spread fingers to my head when a driver was looking at her phone rather than noticing the left turn signal was green. As she did a U-turn she leaned over across the passenger seat (I was standing on the corner) to flip me off. Of course, one hand had the cell phone and the other was now flipping me off, so her driving wheel started spinning freely and her SUV straightened out in the middle of the turn. I loved the look of shock as her vehicle careened around before she got it back under control!

And he should be criminally prosecuted for perjury.  He signed his SF-86 knowing he was committing perjury.  Kushner should be getting as much as five years in prison for each act of perjury.


Right, they killed it. And probably for no valid reason. It is a myth that the bison would reject their young just because it had contact with humans. They should know that. Just can't wait to kill an animal, just like the wolves they slaughter for no valid reason.


Women have been "had".   They have provided a lot flexibility for society to re-shape the workforce, however, are often very poorly treated for their efforts, both individually, and collectively.   Effectively, women are second class members of society economically, whether they be the likes of Carrie Fisher (with a $50MM insurance policy on her head) or that young prospective lawyer who can't get a decent articling job and is now looking at returning to school for a third degree in order to achieve employability.

Not only does business smile, but government smiles too.


So many Anti-Americans who bash the President on a daily basis, no wonder the US is divided and the world is laughing.


On the flip side. I moved from Toronto to London, Ontario 3 years ago. I will pay off my mortgage in 10 years. If my wife or I get sick or cannot work we will just pay the required mortgage payment rather than an accelerated one. Once the mortgage is paid off, my mandatory  monthly expenses will be $150 (property Tax) $350 (utilities/insurance). Of course there will be upkeep and maintenance expenses but I can decide how and when I want to spend my money. I rented for 10 years before moving and buying a house. I couldn't be happier.


Same theme, different organization. I disagree. The University budget has exploded since 2005. Sixteen campuses of which ten could be closed. Offer more online classes. AEDC  parrots the same story as Rasmuson, GCI, Alaskasfuture, Uof A, nonprofits, Unions, certain Republicans, etc. to cut the budget (not ours), use the permanent fund, and tax the people.  Odd isn't it, that none suggest taxing the oil companies instead of giving away the oil and paying out secret tax credits? I contend that this is because all these groups are getting donations or are financed from oil. Many of the legislature are bought and paid by oil. Some are employees of the oil companies. (Not that this would cause them any bias when voting on oil taxes). That is why the conversation never includes this dirty secret about giving away free oil to multinational corporations. Demand different from your representatives. Google Alaska legislature POM and let them hear it.

[44]            L.R.'s evidence in-chief seemed rational and balanced. Under cross-examination, the value of her evidence suffered irreparable damage. Defence counsel's questioning revealed inconsistencies, and incongruous and deceptive conduct. L.R. has been exposed as a witness willing to withhold relevant information from the police, from the Crown and from the Court. It is clear that she deliberately breached her oath to tell the truth. Her value as a reliable witness is diminished accordingly.


Since when did having an excuse negate the consequences of our actions? Her reasons for being there change absolutely nothing except our feelings towards her. More Vulcan less cheerleader please people.


"it came from verbatim from the opinion written by the 9th Circuit itself."
Ah.  I think I understand your issue better.  You are conflating form with function.  What function, or process, is used in the House and Senate on voting over bills?  Is it a republic process where committees are elected and formed to decide if a proposed bill is passed into law or is it a democratic process where each member of the House and Senate votes on passage?  Technically the same question applies to the Judiciary though SCOTUS provides for plurality as well as majority decisions.


Now that is actually quite funny.

He could register as a member of the Democratic Party whist in Hawaii.  Support from Keahiokahouna would no doubt sway the local vote.


It hurts my feelings,  that’s what!!! How am I supposed to show everyone how manly I am by Rollin coal????


If that's so, Larry, why are the vast majority of Trump's supporters white?  Isn't everyone being lied to?  So why isn't everyone supporting Trump?


C:  Wow! You don't think much of your neighbors do you?  Apparently if you don't think like me, vote like me and speak like me me you are a bad neighbor.  I'll bet you are a joy to be around.


I'm confused about distracted driving.  Is it illegal to be changing channels on the car radio?  How about digging in the glovebox?  What are the parameters, does anyone know?


The Japanese Self Defense Force is one of the largest military forces in the world and more than a match, for now, for China at sea and in the air. But it is only credible because of the US nuclear deterrent. Without the US nuclear umbrella Japan would need to (and rapidly could) develop its own nuclear program. Not sure why anyone would think this was an improvement to global security.


RangerMC, You're speculating about the future, not what the AG said in the past.  Try to stay on topic.  Although, as you say, Florence Nakakuni did a "spectacular job," she and other US attorneys were forced out by Trump.  Sessions announced they were gone before some of them were even personally notified.


To my mind, the memo was poorly written, sort of disorganized, and I can't say I agreed with many of its sweeping generalizations. But definitely not cause for firing.  Perhaps the best thing would have been some reasoned rebuttals by the guy's colleagues.  But now it's just turned into a ridiculous tempest in a teapot.


Mad Max is the leading contender and Andrew Scheer is considered a strong candidate. That says it all.

A guy whose main claim to fame after 10 years in power is leaving sensitive documents at his girlfriend's house (and who fancies himself as a so called "Libertarian" who sat silently while his leader interfered in our capital markets, introduced measurements giving the Govt more powers to spy on its citizens, etc...) and in Scheer: a totally ineffectual Speaker of the House who jumped on command whenever Harper looked his way.

They did a great job of concealing their "leadership" qualities for a decade.

O'Toole is too new to be permanently stained by the CPC "legacy" and Chong is the only remaining long term CPC MP who ever had the backbone and guts to say "no" to Harper.


Too bad beautiful creatures in nature must pay for the mistakes of humans, humans that are clearly not that bright, I am sorry you were traumatized lady but it's your own fault, you should just stay out of the woods so no more animals have to die as a result of your ignorance.


With the exception of income sprinkling (which I'm sure in some cases is quite legitimate), no one is saying - at all - that 1-2 million will not be taxable....quite the contrary....instead there would be an initial lower rate on income going into the PC with deferral and residual tax on removal form the PC, the full tax is paid.
Unfortunately the LPC wants you to see otherwise.


There needs to be a public list of anyone receiving Obamacare subsidies. As taxpayers we have the right to know who is stealing our money, and it is our obligation to hold them accountable.


Yup and your a liberal who wants everything free and probably love that Killary


Yet another reason to not bring my out of town money to downtown. Brilliant.


he will look like Dominique Leblanc's pinnochio...


I encourage everyone to read the book by Ayaan Hirsi Ali who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by the Norwegian parliament in January 2006.
The book is called “Heretic: Why Islam Needs a Reformation Now”, its relevant to today's current events.
Go to the library, borrow it, and read it.
Encourage your friends and relatives to read it, insist that your Member of Parliament read it.


I agree with Trudeau. It costs us more but I believe our quality is better here.


Well, no FBI director has ever been treated worse either!


Your words are downright shameful and despicable.  Edith Grunwald recently retired a full bird Colonel from the military recently, and Ben is still a pilot.  I will gladly stack their life record against yours any day.  Are you up for the challenge?  If not, then shut up with your vile lies and accusations and crawl back under your manure pile.  In addition, posting lies and slander on the internet is illegal and it's called Defamation.  I will personally see to it that you are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.


Can't you renounce your registration on line? Is it necessary to clamor?
I've never done it so I just don't know.


Never knew that wind costs more than oil. Glad my car runs on gas and not sail-power!


To the people that just keep saying cut,  cut,  cut. where do we start,  all of dot, medicaid that funds all these hospital er visits? State troopers? Why don't these lawmakers propose eliminating a couple house and Senate seats?
Think how much that would save.


Who cares what this windbag has to say.  Young typically creates a scene to make it look like he's doing something in the name of Alaskans.  All he's doing is drawing a federal paycheck at our expense.  Time for Young to get out  and take all his animal trophies with him.


China isn't the contesting party in this confrontation, merely to play the role to deescalate the situation and prevent the war. But if war does break out, Chinese will interfere militarily.

That is another Chinese standing.


Do both services perform maintenance on the systems the same way?  Same T.O.s?


as the land owner, can't write the contract anyway you want? it's a contract and both parties have to agree to it. so, I don't know why you couldn't require the insurance. if I keep the property I have now, I am going to tell the management company to add that to my rental agreements in the future. the problems I have had with my property is after they get in and destroy things and not paying the utilities and rents, is getting them out. this is where I believe the laws are deficient, it's too hard to evict.


Yeah, the straight goods. As in, "Russia's not behind the hacking." "Hamilton is overrated." "Meryl Streep is overrated." "I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of illegal votes." "Serious voter fraud in Virginia, New Hampshire, and California."

And my personal favorite, just after noon on November 6th: "The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive."

Keep telling yourself it's the straight goods.


Precisely how is he working for the people?  Give one good example that is not based in bigotry of his followers.


"That's despite Pope Francis and other prominent Catholics' rebuke of the candidate for railing against immigrants and other minority groups."

These "pundits" need to realize that for an increasingly number of practicing Catholics, Francis'  ongoing, tiresome rebukes are read as an endorsement. That is to say, much of what he snarks off about is good and holy.

The candidate's criticism was of illegally present "immigrants" (non-immigrants) and criminals, not anyone else. "Minority groups?" The term has no meaning. Catholics always have been, and very much remain, a minority group in the United States.


Yes, they are openly against voter ID laws because there is no evidence for widespread fraud of the type you suggest. And they cite several studies. So rather than simply accuse them of bias, refute the studies.

And no, the tiny number of occurrences do not merit "inconveniencing" everybody, especially when proposals for "inconvenience" nearly always target minorities (something that even the Supreme Court recognized recently), make it more difficult to many to vote (again, I cite the long lines that happened even in Denver), and therefore make the US less democratic. You seem to be a gun rights advocate - should your right to own a handgun be restricted because some people use handguns to commit crimes?

Finally, I don't understand why any Coloradoan would be in favor of giving up the mail-in ballot, unless he/she is unemployed or retired. There have been times in my life when, because of work and school, it was impossible for me to vote on election day. That's not "inconvenience."


Because soon it is going to be 2019 and they know whose votes they want to buy.


Quite ignorant remarks Erica Gray.. Everything you say is based on the anti-nuclear narrative. The "waste" never has, and never will harm anyone, even if it leaked. Anything <100mSv/year exposure does NOTHING to health. Nevermind the fact that we have at least a dozen ways to recycle it. Your wind and solar is dependent on BATTERIES. It is not even close to the magnitude of nuclear energy. 2300years for a Tesla gigafactory to produce enough batteries to store 1% of 2015 electric consumption.. The anti-nuclear environmentalist clan,  is responsible for the global warming extinction of the human race. You people ought to be ashamed of what you have done.


See above.

Furthermore, Leitch was a vocal supporter of policies which denied refugees basic healthcare.   And this was for refugees who were stuck in the black hole of waiting for a decision on their status (which the CPC Govt took their sweet time clearing the backlog because they simply did not care).     How is that in keeping with the Hippocratic Oath which Leitch was bound to abide by as a practicing (part-time) physician?   First do no harm?

So not only did she partake in an extensive subsidized education to become an elite doctor (a surgeon) for what seems more and more like a vanity accomplishment for her resume, she supported policies which would have left innocent refugees without basic medical care (fortunately, many of her medical colleagues, volunteered to provide care for free, while Leitch and her party stonewalled).


Everytime you give government FREE they'll spend it then demand new property tax to pay for new bloated government programs, then take your home for not paying for it. That is the future.


Gee. I wonder if this is why the House Republicans were so adamant about voting on the bill without this assessment of its likely effects?


Have you actually read (or tried to read) the energy bill?  It is gigantic and it was written with bipartisan support, starting over means it will take months, maybe another year.

As for the wildcatting projects you are discussing, they already announced a dry hole on one of the drilling sites.

What Alaskans don't get is that fracking produces oil that is hard for North Slope producers to match in price - Alaska oil is higher priced due to shipping and higher production costs based on geography alone.


Don't feed the troll, Roy.  It's just a reincarnation of Dean Clark spewing canned one-liners.


Sometimes people have a bad day, BeeJay.


Non resident donations to any Alaska candidate or incumbent should be $0 from any person or organization other than a blood relative.  That should be limited to a one time $500 limit.  That includes any national political party affiliation as well!   State elections should only be influenced by In State money.  That also includes Lisa or any other person elected to the Federal level.

In State corporations, businesses and individual donations should all be limited as well.  There is way too much graft and corruption in politics which has allowed our government officials to blow the State budget.  That influence peddaling starts at the donation box and proceeds through the paid lobbiests and their back door meetings and 'perks'.

Of course all career politicians and 'good party' managers will deny and decry such comments as false and already illegal.  They will use different words such as political leverage instead of blackmail but the proof is there.  Witness the LIO illegal lease.


Avuu and Homer,

You have stated that funding does not come from the State.  However, the article states,

"The Alaska Legislature set aside $43.2 million in 2015 for the replacement school in Kivalina".

Later, the article claims,

"The cost of the road project could range from $40 million to $70 million... Richards said borough officials planned to go to Juneau to lobby for road funding".

This would seem to indicate that the State (including me) will pay for these projects.  I am interested to see any evidence you can provide to refute the claims of the author.


Let's see, do I think 40,000,000 people and the sixth largest economy in the WORLD deserve a voice in electing the President of the US, as opposed to 133 cowboys and a few herds of cattle?  I guess I do.  Color me so unrealistic.


All personal property and home real estate property taxes should be eliminated. Personal property taxes are just the government telling you that you don't own the property they do and if you don't pay them they will take it from you and rent it to someone else. Sales taxes are more fair as you don't have to purchase an item. Sales taxes can be placed on real estate to be paid at the time of sale and can be done each time the property is sold. Business real estate might have to be handled differently.
The government staying within a budget would help tremendously.


That is NOT what ISER's report concluded:

"When ISER compared reducing the number of state workers with reducing capital spending, and broad-based spending cuts, they concluded that cutting the PFD should be the last option used to help balance the budget because it has the largest negative impact on income and jobs." - from above article.

If you actually read the report, it clearly shows that reducing the number of state workers has the greatest impact on jobs. And if you think about it - duh - of course it does.. you're eliminating a job. Cutting the PFD does, however, have the largest direct impact on income loss.

Also, the report does NOT conclude that cutting the PFD should be the last option used to balance the state budget. ISER was very careful not to direct the legislature in their decisions, but merely to provide objective analysis.

Either the authors are deliberately misleading readers or did not read the report. Neither inspires much confidence.


Why just half?  I'd like to see the family sue him for their loss and take it all.  Kadr may be free, but his victim is still dead and his family continues to suffer.


Amazing Wavemaker how you continue to belittle the President elect but never say one ill word towards
Hillary. Truly amazing.....Then again no it is not.


And all other ethical messes.  As someone else here so wisely said recently, "When Trump leaves the White House they'll have to fumigate it".


Governing by threat and intimidation; just the ticket for finishing off the remnants of the Constitutional Republic still left after the traitorous Republican destruction of the last 48 years.


I remember in Florida when I was in the third grade we had to practice hiding under our desks in case Cuba attacked us with Nukes.  It is the world we live in.  Get use to it.


Has anyone tried yelling “Racist!” to solve the immigration issue?
Sarc off \\


Whatever the lying Wynne says, the truth is the opposite.


Dude, you realize what this does right? Giving Joe the Lib ticket now, in this congressional senate race? Sersiouly, think about it, long and hard.


RD, next time I'll use words that hopefully you can understand.


So axel it is sounding like you detest people that take the time to educate themselves (ex. teachers and professors) while preferring people that look at the surface while ignoring the cause and effect of important topics.   When will the rise of the angry low effort types go away.....Dam# you Donald Trump....


Can you trust the GM?

Sorry Ernie, "Cougin' it" can mean whatever you want it to until you play the Ducks. At that point it'll mean what it has always meant: the Cougs snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, or just plain stinking it up the whole game. Glad you beat the Huskies, though!


You did not answer the question. What qualifications do you have. She is a legal expert recognized by the court.  Also statues are not the only source of law.  Ever heard of case law?  Regardless I know who I would and would not take legal advice from.


Boozer, it's very charitable of you to point out that liberals don't lynch blacks. Thank you for being so open-minded.


The local fight, the Alaska fight is to protect the Permanent Fund. Donald Trump did  not steal half of the check from Alaskan children and other less powerful Alaskans in order to avoid income taxes and reduction of generous state benefits. Both political parties and the elite of all races went along with this solution. Donald Trump probably has never heard of the Permanent Fund. Restoration of the Permanent Fund as an independent source of wealth for all Alaskans would be an important victory for liberals, conservatives and people of means of no political leaning. Don't blame Trump for a theft he did not engineer right in your back yard.


BOOSHITTE CULT. They massacred a whole wagon train of men, women, and children in cold blood. Google Mormon Massacre or Meadow Mountains massacre in Utah on September 7 to 11 (yep, over 3 days of bloody murders while wearing Indian costumes)  in the year 1857. See the movie September Dawn with John Voit.


Somewhere in the mid to late 1980's I drove out to the U. of MB. for an 8:30am Biology class.  I would park in Q Lot , then walk over to my first class.  My arrival time in the parking lot often coincided with Stuart McLean's conversation with Peter Gzowsky, and with Stuart recounting an anecdote to Peter and the CBC radio audience.  Many of these stories were hilarious, and I was often late in getting away from my car because I just had to listen to the last 5 minutes of the story.

I remember one story about the fans at the old Habs games in Montreal....if they didn't like the ruling from the referee, they would take off their "slip-on" rubber boots ( about 1 inch high, popular in the 1950's) and throw them @ the ref.  Soon the ice had thousands of these "slip-on" rubber boots.  It was great to listen to Peter and Stuart howling with laughter @ one of these stories.  A great way to start my day.

Stuart will have told a tale or two to St. Peter at the gate.  RIP.


And their allies: Syria, Iran, Pakistan, China & Russia.

Underestimating these tyrannical regimes might well prove to be catastrophic for the US.


I guess Jones doesn't think other airlines will employ local people or pay Hawaii taxes.  One of the reasons Hawaiian is still in business is the taxpayers have bailed them out twice that I can remember.  To big to fail or just politically well connected.  Remember Aloha was allowed to go bankrupt and the state didn't lift a finger.  Just wondering.


Like so many, Mr. Cohen throws all conspiracies into the same grab-bag, while giving some superficial and quite simplistic argument about the psychology of paranoia. By contrast, any thinking person with reasonable common sense should realize that each event must be taken on its own merits. Personally, I doubt the Oswald verdict because, despite the Warren whitewash, the weight of evidence suggests doubt. It doesn't mean I agree with all other conspiracy theories – or indeed any of them.


Yes - I support cost-effective medical treatment of people with addiction problems, including controlled legal distribution of many currently illegal narcotics.  The current arrangement wastes too much human potential, as well as too much time and resources dealing with both law enforcement and health care.
What I don't support is the dynamic of grandstanding politicians and their co-dependent media cohorts as they try to capitalize on tragedy without doing anything except expanding the problem and the associated expense.
As it stands today, drug dealers must be laughing all the way to the bank as the country funds programs that sustain their customers' ability to keep buying.
Government can be worse than useless, and this situation is Exhibit A..


Weewili.... you are a pathetic  T - W # A * T


Internet doesn't have a single point of failure unless you have GCI.


Good think this didn't happen in Canada. First our PM would want to get the root cause (see Boston Marathon comment by Justin, only to find out the terrorists where middle class and well educated), then he would make them multi-millionaires.


Here's a logical thought, Feds.. stop keeping our dollar artificially low and you can pay the debt off (that we can't stand you for creating on behalf for foreign companies and foreign governments). We need a higher dollar as a nation to afford our own nation, and we need you to stop subsidizing export because that makes our prices in our own country unafordable for - us CANADIANS - your REAL economy.


Maybe when they're little but when they're old enough as an adult, there's really to defense of "I didn't know."  In the last 4 decades this dude didn't see, read or hear warnings of the health consequences?? Find that hard to believe.


thank god those waves of immigrants didn't stop before you got here....


Took long, long time to impeach Bill Clinton. Remember what , 'is is'?
But remember collusion is not even a crime so if you still have hope for that better find a new gig.


...and both should be treated equally; by the media, the authorities, and wannabe pundits.


Even if such an agreement worked in principle - which I don't believe it will; the resistance genes will hide out somewhere and re-emerge on short notice upon resumed drug use - how do you enforce it? More to the point, how do you persuade a doctor not to treat that patient suffering in front of him right now, just so that a hypothetical, statistical advantage might accrue in the future to persons unknown?

Selectively killing bacteria is, and remains, an easier problem than selectively killing tumor cells. The problem is it doesn't pay - treatment typically lasts some two weeks (though longer with TB and a couple of other diseases). Because of that, accountant-run drug companies continue to divest themselves of their antibiotic research units, focusing instead on drugs that patients will take for the rest of their lives (hypertension, lowering cholesterol etc.). Even mere pipe dreams such as "curing Alzheimer's" attract more research dollars these days than antibiotics.


Fatal conceit.  You have it.


In other words, 19th century solutions to 21st century problems don't work.


It’s “offensive and disgustin coming from a white supremacist

It’s “refreshing” when it’s not.


How is it that we presume to be able to raid a sovereign nation and arrest one of its nationals?  What would Americans do if the government of some-other nation did that here?  We go off the chart, that's what.  Even though it may achieve our national goals, that doesn't give us the right to take
 unilateral action.


Benjamin Netanyahu will love Trump. They have likely met before because for years Netanyahu worked the American media for the Israeli government.  Lived there. TV shows like Face the Nation and Meet the Press. Many things like that are done in New York City - Trump's hometown.  Large Jewish community there.  I found Netanyahu's American accent to be obnoxious because he wasn't American. Like a double-agent in a spy film. As we stagger into disaster, I think Americans will start thinking the same thing because of the the swagger in his step. Macho man.  I truly don't think a lot of people know this, but Israel borders Syria - the land that has been savaged by its own leader and his opponents. Israel has has fought battle with Syria itself and I fear it may dip its wick in that disaster-zone again. And don't forget the Russians. Dirty, corrupt  Russians. And, the seemingly "do anything" Donald Trump. Disaster film - likely with some funny moments. But a disaster.


I am going to guess he'd sooner release his taxes before releasing his actual IQ..
This is a no-win situation for him.
Better to stay silent, and let others think you're a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt


For a day or two, it appeared ADN was going to spare this family the comments. I see they've reniged and allowed all the hogs their opinions.


Whether implementing the Conservative-initiated Saudi military sale or siding with them in denouncing BDS (a peaceful attempt to end Israel's occupation, is this not what we always pontificate to Palestinian?) I am beginning to taste the same wine in new bottles.


Oh, I see. My freedom of religion is an affront to their guilt. Thanks for the clarification. Refusing to "celebrate" gay marriage is some kind of ban. OK.


Whether Obama spoke at a jamboree is completely irrelevant to the current issue.  At issue is not who spoke there and when, but what Trump said when he did.  It was embarrassing.


I saw last night almost 10...area by falls was very crowded.  Just keep watching...you will see more bears!  I promise!


This could be very bad in an emergency. If you are hiding from an active shooter, for instance. You couldn't silence your phone in a bag.

One very memorable thing a college professor told us was that if we decide to teach or entertain,we will be competing with a world of electronic communication that offers thousands of options potentially more interesting. You will have to get, and keep, the attention of your audience or your students. This was a sobering conversation for many of us.


.

"That it has played out this way, despite the Conservatives voting in favour of a similar motion condemning Islamophobia just last fall,"

Actually, it's pretty "impressive" to see/witness what level of stupidity the Cons will and did sink to. It is as well most telling to realize the Cons are void of all intelligence, integrity and common sense.

On the other hand, "go Cons go", it's not like we want to see you in government anytime soon

.


Did anyone check the other returns that are posted in the paper? I hope he responds on Monday to tell me if this error decreases or has no effect on the total return for 2016.


Your post makes no sense. More rules and regulations don't make for a better life. Getting rid of school lunches?  No. Getting rid of lunch room rules that a regulation principal has dreamed up...no talking, you have to sit next to the person you are standing next to in line, etc, etc. these are not necessary rules or regulations and they do not make for a better lunch room experience


Maybe - if you mean Chipotle is cutting corners. If you're suggesting someone is out to take Chipotle down - give it a rest, please. The Chipotle fanboys have had this whisper campaign going for a couple of years now, and yet not a single shred of evidence has surfaced that suggests anyone other than Chipotle is responsible for its food safety problems.


I don't know about Williams but both parties have problems in my mind.  I also disagree with your last sentence.

Anyone should run if they want.  It's up to voters to decide if they have the aptitude to legislate.  Shame on us if we don't pay attention.


Then they should ban the sale of sandwich bags or any plastic container bags like Ziploc and Saram. Why isn't there more effort to promote not littering in our parks and beaches...? Wouldn't that be more effective instead of punishing the majority of people who are responsible with their trash? Heck, if the city wants to increase revenue, have patrols to hand out tickets to violators of the parks ordinance and fine them... People will think twice before leaving without taking care of their waste...


Grandparents are important people. You wouldn't be walking this earth if it wasn't for your grandparents. I used my daughters pfd for their birthdays. This year it is Christmas at gramma's. Without it they wouldn't have anything and my grandmother would be without her grandbabies. If you don't mind me asking, what do you do with yours?


Spoken by someone who has absolutely no idea what she's talking about.


Helloooooo !!!
CNN leaking debate questions to Hillary

Establishment media giving editorial privledge to the DNC prior to going to print.
The release of 10 year old locker room talk 2 days before a debate.

A Billion dollar Democratic marketing budget
Crickets on the Clinton foundation
Thousands of bleached emails and a claim of memory loss due to a concussion
Rich speaking engagements for dirty Bill

And on and on, the establishment has NOOO credibility.
Hence Trump !!!!
Deal with lefty.


If the Liberals are breaking laws then they should be held accountable.  According to them they are not so if not then all the other parties could be doing what they are.


Good on the ACLU. I hope that FFRF and American Humanist will join the ACLU on this suit and support the ACLU's efforts. KPB is absolutely in the wrong here and needs to be held to account. It is shameful that they have chosen to waste taxpayer dollars by holding a session to pass this law, and even more shameful more tax dollars will be wasted defending it now.


When you buy a home in Alberta you must specify which school board you support so your school tax is paid to them.


The more I read this post, the stranger it seems.

If you'd ever even visited Clallam County, you'd know perfectly well that the Makah occupy only the northwesternmost little corner of the County, and that the County's population is concentrated in its eastern third.

So you apparently have never even looked at a map of Clallam County, but you were somehow inspired to do this weird version of mansplaining in our local paper.

I would dearly love to know  --  why?


Looks like a hoax (the name part not the Islam conversion).


If emotion plays no valid part in any decision, then we don't need national parks, national monuments, or scenic overlooks, or anything else that exists only because we 'love' it.  Reduce everything to numbers and dollars.  No thanks.  That's not how my America works- not until now, anyway.

The horses aren't starving.  MOST of the herds are just fine.  Fit and fat.  Do some research and you'll see the pics of the horses now being gathered.  Not a skinny one in the bunch- and the bunch is made up of thousands of horses.  The 'starving horse' routine if pure propaganda.

There are other solutions that work, and are more desirable in every single way than mass shootings or slaughter of thousands of perfectly fine horses.


Planned Parenthood doesn't get funds for abortion. Defunding pp would defund cancer screenings, std testing, pre natal care, nutritional services, regular check-ups, and birth control for women without adequate insurance which there will be a lot more of very soon.


Bills haven't scored a touchdown through 2 games.


Trump is a buffoon that has no understanding that will hurt the USA more than it will Mexico; look for severely increased inflation and/or a run to physical gold-now is that what he wants you to do(ie. Oval Office gold curtains?)

Trump has to be in line for the lowest IQ by any POTUS


For the belief system, would you be referring to Islam?  As far as demeaning a white European, you do it similarly as you do anybody else.  You accuse them falsely of any manner of crimes and misdemeanors.  You spit on them.  You promote other races ahead of them.


He hated white people and the las  vegas lifestyle obviously that was the motive. He planned to make his way back to the philipines to join Islamic state.


"Canada’s economy grows as resource-sector rebound continues"
-
"Canada is sending a record amount of oil to the United States, filling pipelines to capacity and threatening to push more crude into rail cars. - U.S. imports from its northern neighbour jumped 17 per cent to 3.46 million barrels a day last week, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said Wednesday in a preliminary report. That’s the most since the agency began collecting such data in 2010. Exports have surged as Alberta recovers from wildfires that disrupted supplies earlier this year.
-
and now - add in the 830,000 barrels Keystone promises.............. and then add in the Line 3 and Trans Mountain project extensions .....
-
Alberta might just be able to keep floating the nations economic boat despite the worst intentions of the socialists in Edmonton and Ottawa


speer was  dressed in taliban garb

what does that make him

please no  more of your  british luck


Great to see this sort of important and timely local news buried in the website as opposed to all things negative Trump headlining every freaking day.  I guess now that police have released the photo ADN can squirmingly announce the suspects race.


I thought maybe you were going to fix it but I was wrong.


Exactly our Elections were influenced by the US but our dimwitted media can only talk about Trump and Russia.

I think they just copy and paste stuff from Rueters and are unable to actually put together their very own story.


Dear Gary, re your comment that no party would have the audacity to make the kind of deep cuts required to bring the budget in balance quicker than the NDP - this is total garbage and shame on you for such a shallow analysis.  Klein made the deepest cuts in history and won three elections.

I worked in the SK government during the difficult Romanow years.  There was a hiring freeze, whether it was announced or not.  Alberta's deeply ideological NDP gov't is entirely different.  Even a hiring freeze is publically sneered at.

Dear Gary, it may surprise you, but there are many in AB that call for everything, including a sales tax, to be on the table.  However, no one except the AB NDP and it's public sector union supporters think more taxes are the answer before expenditure cuts, even though AB continues to spend more per capita than any other province


Indeed.
When the Consistory discussed the Kasper proposal Cardinal Ruini says that at least 85% were against it. Obviously the four Cardinals are just the tip of the iceberg.


Nice parting gift for energy workers at the end of Parliamentary session.

Have a nice summer in your taxpayer funded Porsche, Carbon Barbie

And have a nice time galavanting around the world with the highest carbon footprint of any Canadian, Junior.


Or a truck.


He insists he in no way colluded with Russia or any foreign government,

 ...and then, in the same breath, describes a clear attempt to collude with the Russia government.

It’s insult to our collective intelligence.

But that’s the entire Trump era. What’s new?


In the world yet not of the world.

Did not Our Lord tell us He has overcome the world?


Why do we need ocean fish farming? Because there are too many people on the planet depleting fish in the wild. Overpopulation ruins everything and the fools who keep overpopulating don't see it and always censor this type of comment.


Just a baggie of weed for personal use.


I disagree.  My children, nephews and nieces, and many of their friends either could not find employment in Canada commiserate with their degrees (but have found suitable employment in the US) or are underemployed, or were underemployed for the first few working years.  Look around and ask, how many of the recent graduates that touch your life are employed in jobs that pay them enough.  I am tired of the recently retired, or in one case, someone I know has been retired for twelve years and is still doing their old job under contract in a municipal government position.  Retire already.Consult if you want. or better still, give of your time and talents and volunteer.  Give back.


First, "Henry Gibson" Sesssions says he was "not criticizing the judge or the island." Now, he admits it was "dig" at both, saying "no one has a sense of humor." Too late, Henry, we knew what you meant the first time. Easily, Trump's worst appointee.


Ron, maybe I should be more specific.  What were her major accomplishments as SecState and NY Senator?

Many supporters claim she's the most qualified presidential candidate in history.  If so, you should be able to list them right off the top of your head.

Instead, you seem to go in defense mode and attack theEssen get or questioner, on my case.

Tell me.  What deals did she negotiate with Russia, with her reset button?

How did she try to save our guys at Bengazi?  I mean she was SecState, and had the authority to give the "go" sign to our military.  F-16s and Spectre gunships in Italy were ready to go.

Of course,  the whole know about her accomplishments with her servers.


It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes.

And still you haven't even mentioned Russia.

trump is bad for our national health and sanity.


Trump may be the catylist but the Republicans began to implode years ago.  The Dems aren't too far behind.  The two party system is in its death throes.


"Character slamming someone who claims harassment is beyond inappropriate."

It's actually a significant part of our rules of evidence, in both civil and criminal proceedings.  In a trial, character evidence may be offered to impeach or strengthen the credibility of a witness, subject to certain limitations.

In the context of harassment, sexual assault, etc., you can't introduce character evidence about past sexual conduct (i.e., she slept around so she couldn't have been harassed) - that would certainly be beyond inappropriate, but that is not what is happening here.  You are very much allowed to introduce character evidence that is relevant to evaluating whether a witness is generally honest.


The Capuchins still have hermitages, in Italy at least, maybe he should spend some time in one of those, bound under Holy Obedience to make no public statements or appearances.


But you saw the Broncos win the Super Bowl under Obama. He must have had it rigged or the Broncos played extra special for him, while their opponent threw the game to make it look like Obama helped the Broncos win. Ya know, ever since I planted that tree in my backyard, the stock market has been doing well. What does that tell ya? I'll tell you what it tells ya; it tells ya that trees and stock markets are like this ____.


Fossil fuels are going to be around as long as the politicians in the state are making money from them. When you have scenario's that allow the principles of the state's largest coal mine buying a power plant in Fairbanks, and then signing long term contracts with itself there is political interest in profiting from a blatant conflict of interest. Yet the technology for cleaner burning natural gas has been intentionally ignored for the past 40+ years as profits, and hypocrisy  fill the halls of our Capital.


Just wait until all those cheap goods at Wal-Mart suddenly surge in price as China retaliates with an economic one-two punch of its own. When that happens you can rest assured all those "working-class" Trump voters won't be so enamored with Trump's shift in trade policy, but by then it will be too late.


Like going to a madrasa?


"April 28, 2017 – There is a 50-60% chance of an El Niño event forming in middle to late 2017, according to a new Update from the World Meteorological Organization."

"Many of the climate models surveyed indicate that basin-wide neutral conditions will persist through to June 2017. The subsequent development of an El Niño during the second half of 2017 is more likely than the continuation of neutral conditions."

If there is a 50-60% chance of rain tomorrow in Eugene, do you take sunscreen or buy an umbrella?

The prediction came from a computer based on the latest science and observations.   Should  that make a difference in your decision?


Hmm, make Mexico a poorer country, which leads to more people wanting to escape its poverty.  Smart.  Not to mention the children fleeing Central American gangs.


Isn't that the whole point of checks and balances? They are intended to provide 'sober second thought' or to check if the direction to be taken is constitutional and legal.


Surprisingly, the meeting went off without much of a hitch.  He forgot to comb his hair.  The PM did not blather which always gets him in trouble.  He kept the eye on the prize- the economy.  It would have been nice to hear more substantive news of the meeting but overall Trudeau did well.  I think he was more fearful of Canadians breathing down his back expecting him to be mistake prone.  A 100% better effort than his conduct in dealing with Chinese leadership a few months ago.


Cicular reasoning at its finest. What about the other to De FIDE pronouncements on the matter, not to mention the Ordinary and Universal teaching re EENS.


The lady that runs tafy isnt feeding the homeless,the sick, a few drug addicts, and heaven forbid the hungry because she wants to draw in a bad crowd. Her heart is right and she will end up getting shut down because of a few people that complain that its drawing a bad crowd in the neighborhood. Even Mike Hunt knows that. These homeless are being bullied in this town by people that could be in their place in a minute. A heart attack, stroke, run over by a car, whatever. Anyone of us could be homeless overnight.

Thanks Robert - have a great day !


Have you read their new contracts? 0/0/0 raises for next 3 years. Yeah, huge raises they got!


You need an education in social movements sir.  In the meantime, I'd just suggest that you restrain your prejudgment of large categories of people.  Your assumptions about protestors are a logical fallacy.


Many people pay no taxes at all and the middle class do pay taxes, yes.  It takes money to make money, but that is not the fault of the rich. In this country, everyone should work and pay their fair share. Nothing more or less.


I like McElroys piece....to that end I am joining folks today at a local library later this am to write letters to legislators....relative to the needs of the poor immigrants, the sick et al....there's an Indivisible group near just about everyone....all you need to do is google Indivisible and give them your zip code....

THATs an organization that is disrupting on behalf of our democracy...and it is a national effort!


Richard, good comment, but what does Congress have to correct?  The law clearly prohibits discrimination based on sex, of which there are only two, male and female.  There is nothing to correct.


You want to see someone who abused the rule of law, just look at your boy Obama!!!

How is the new dicktator working out for you?


So they've been able to hid huge chunks of their six-figure, taxpayer provided incomes? And now we're supposed to cry because they can't?
I'm so tired of hearing about all the rich and powerful and important people who are going to leave if we increase their taxes. If they're so rich but can't stand to pay an extra dollar to their nation, their community, their neighbours, their fellow citizens, then they should get lost.


The data base must comport with existing laws on retention of firearm records like the ones the FBI must destroy after 24 hours from the national instant firearm check system. So what does the governor think this will do for them since any firearms records must be destroyed within 24 hours by the FBI in  accordance with the law? Yes, the 2nd amendment does prevent the registering of guns or gun owners if they have not committed any crime. That is classified as infringement.


What's next? Looks like criminal charges for the owner for Scheme to Defraud. He knew too well along with Hawker that the lease was a scam job before he ever signed his name on it. Hawker should be charged as well for Aiding and Abetting in a Scheme to Defraud.

Without Free Trade we would be less prosperous. Prosperity is what convinces people the value of economic policies. When the first Free Trade agreement with the U.S.A. was the "dominant" election issue in 1988, Liberals and New Democrats declared that it would "ruin" the country and make us simply a puppet for the U.S.A.. Lots of them even had tears in their eyes as they predicted American troops would be coming across the border because of Free Trade. They thought Canada would be too economically tempting for the U.S.A.. to resist. Well, Liberals love free trade nowadays and if the NDP had won  the last election, they wouldn't have touched things.
Oh and I'm a middle-class fellow myself.


Part of the discussion that never seems to get raised is what quality and quantity of healthcare is a "human right."  I would think most compassionate people would agree that any person in an acute emergency or with a chronic severely painful ailment deserves medical care to preserve their life and reduce suffering.  But what about non-critical care?  Are all persons "entitled" to the very best and technologically advanced treatment available regardless of cost? Most everyone expects that when they show up at an ER or get an appointment at the doctors office.  At the time of receiving treatment, no one requests the "mid-grade" or "economy" level of treatment.  Everyone expects the best and if that is not delivered, medical malpractice attorneys are at their beckon call.  We need to have a discussion about how much and what level of subsidized care is a "right."  Politicians will not touch that..no matter the length of the pole.


I am not sure about Tesla, but Amazon's strategy has always been rational and effective. Now that they are the dominant vendor of Platform as a Service they are building the foundation for 100X growth. On Tesla, I do not think there is any chance of the traditional manufacturers competing. These cars are fundamentally different and that people on this thread, Mr. Reguly and Mr. Marchionne fail to understand that plays to Tesla's advantage. But there are many things that could go wrong. General cultural and economic trends do not favour the private car no matter how it is powered. The number of private cars will likely be 50% lower in Canada in 50 years. Will some of those cars be from Tesla? Maybe. Will Tesla open other businesses? Maybe. Doesn't matter to me though as I do not invest in public companies.


It's ok for 1 party, but not the other?  "But in a speech on the Senate floor in June 1992, Mr. Biden, then the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said there should be a different standard for a Supreme Court vacancy “that would occur in the full throes of an election year.” The president should follow the example of “a majority of his predecessors” and delay naming a replacement, Mr. Biden said. If he goes forward before then, the Senate should wait to consider the nomination


"As part of the first phase, the federal government signed agreements with every province and territory, which included B.C.’s $460-million transit funding deal. Ontario’s was the most lucrative, including $1.486-billion for transit."
Let's see Ontario has twice the population of BC but got more than 3 times the money for transportation that BC got. Yeah spectacular job there BC Liberals... you should campaign on that! LOL


Science is overrated.  Most scientists of the day ridiculed and mocked Einstein and his theories.  Most "scientists" are wrong about everything.  Just because they have lab coats and fancy degrees from overhyped elite playpens like Harvard doesn't mean anything.

Take a look at the form eligibility section. It seems that if you are not receiving CPP or QPP you can't fill out the form (ex. you're deferring until age 70).


Outsider:  please read the two posts responding to your comments.   You consistently defend male perpetrators of sexual violence.  I'm not sure exactly why. To my knowledge no one is suggest a sexual offender has "no human value."  I and many others have devoted years of our lives to help offenders rebuild their lives.  I, at the same time, recognize the monumental damage their actions have done to their victims and accept that registration systems are in place to help protect possible future victims.  I feel NO guilt for such concern and feelings.  Perhaps you should visit with the victims of sexual abuse sometime and gain a better understanding of the consequences of such abuse.  Gary Crum


An intelligent decision.


To be fair, most peope that talk like that are imbeciles, so there is a rationale to it. It keeps you from shooting your own feet off to stop a runny nose.


Maybe someone can help me. I've seen all this back and forth, and people saying that we're running out of money. But on the PFD website, it seems to say that we're making money. So... what's going on?

Yup. The regressives will put up Joe Miller or someone like him.


What a load.  You could say the same about slaves in the old south.
You can't fix stupid. And greedy. And bloodthirsty. And selfish. And uncaring...


Much of the money spent on medicare and medicaid is wasted because doctors spend limited time with clients, and, perhaps afraid of being sued, follow a practice of "a pill for an ill," rather than exploring diet and lifestyle for remedy of some common problems, such as diabetes, high cholesterol, etc.
Use of artificial intelligence and a database of experiences would be more productive.


Trump should publicly tell the RINO leaders:  If you send me a bill without border wall funding,  I will not sign it;  if you don't want to be blamed on shutting down the government, get busy and do it right!


And yet strangely enough hundreds of tankers sail into ports on the east coast from Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and other oil producing countries. Not much damage if  any has happened there. .


Some people just like unique firearms.  I have a friend who bought a device that makes his .22 caliber rifle 'automatic.'

You can write your name with it because of the speed, accuracy and lack of recoil!

And it's a LOT cheaper ammunition, too!


When they told people to move to their assigned seat, couldn't she have just shown her boarding pass to prove she was already in her assigned seat?


What about the fact that the big indexes like the S&P 500 and the DOW miss the really huge gains as tiny companies grow but are too small for the index.  Also the professor here did not argue against index investing did he?

"The federal Liberals do not want to see Jason Kenney and a united right taking over power in Alberta and will be doing everything in their power to ensure that doesn’t happen."

Probably the right/correct deduction, but;

With oil revenues sinking like a rock and staying at the bottom not only for years but rather the future, Alberta far right Cons will be rendered "speechless", swimming in debt/budget deficits  being screamed at by their own base that has  become accustomed to be "cared for" by government oil revenue rather than paying taxes. Thus/so.............

Those Gents on the "united"  far-right will be the impotent cry babies of tomorrow........

"Saying he was speaking "on behalf of our country and the children whose lives are at stake," Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York Sept. 29 urged members of the U.S. House to pass the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act."

If the bishops want to be the defenders of our children, then they should work just as hard protecting our children from priestly sex abusers.


Why should there be a "legal way for 11 million immigrants who entered illegally and/or have expired visas to report and achieve legal status."?  If those illegal immigrants wanted to get legal status, they can leave and then apply for legal immigration just as many others have done.


It's amusing to watch Republican Congressional members pretend they didn't know Trump is crazy. The rest of us have known it for a good thirty years...


The endless Trump bashing by the same old crowd is getting tiresome.  Clearly it does not take a lot to amuse John Doyle.


Oh, and Trudeau is just warming up.   His higher payroll taxes and carbon taxes have barely kicked in.  And better hope you don't have a small corporation, because he's probably coming after your retained earnings and dividends too.  Sickening.


Re: #3, Jeff Sessions doesn't like diversity because he is from genetically homogeneous Alabama, where everyone is related to each other.  There's a joke that in Alabama a family reunion is viewed as an opportunity to get dates.

Re: #4, Jeff Sessions is still steamed that Hawaii has produced a US President.  Alabama still hasn't produced a President even though it has had a 140 year head start on Hawaii in becoming a state.


This was not a police officer.  I believe he was airport security, not trained or paid to a high level.   Obviously not the best and the brightest this one.

Someone needs to explain the difference between socialism and democracy to Wynne.  Ontario will either be like Greece or Venezuela within 10 years.  Thanks Liberals.


Ruth Hall quoted by Greg Nicolson: that white farmers fear entry of black commercial farmers “into this space”. Really? With 90% of black run farms failing, what is there to fear? Both Ruth Hall and Greg Nicolson display some astounding ignorance in this context. And the taunts that white farmers fear expiration without compensation? Wait till your businesses assets are threatened with expropriation without compensation and then let’s see how commentators (like Ruth Hall) feel? Not that she runs a for-profit enterprise. As for Greg Nicolson who is ultimately funded by the Oppenheimer family, good luck when the sentiments presented here start to undermine your employers’ actual business interests.


For a moment, I was hoping the Wonder Blunder promoter got convicted.


Good point.  After all we are THE University of Colorado.  But I don't like the unis.


I'm sure you know this already, but the term "murder" is defined as "the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought".  Unless you're referring to trapping human beings, your argument is an 'appeal to emotion', and therefore is classified as a poor debate response.


The same purpose as jacking up trucks, building race cars, offroad vehicles, supping up import cars, collecting stamps, collecting garden gnomes, cross stitching, scrap booking, having horses, etc.

You have a very closed mind if you can't think of a reason why.


Supernova, you should know by now, it's not about providing real solutions, it's about "winning", as blind an ideology as that, this is what we're stuck with.


I didn't run for office and didn't lie to the general public.  Shame you don't see this basic difference.  Are you defending The Donald's lies?  The new republican platform?  Just lie?


Recent experience informs me that it is you who likes to use the flagging option - and rather frequently.


There are a number of problems that have faced EPD over the past few decades. Some are long term problems such as a police culture whereby some officers see themselves as elite enforcers instead of public servants. They often come from military backgrounds and have conservative and authoritarian political and social views. Many don't even live in Eugene.
Another problem is poor training which encourages such perspectives and urges the use of force for self-protection even when there is no threat to the officer.
A powerful police union and poorly-written contracts by administrators make it difficult for the command structure to create any meaningful changes and often lead the city administration to lose cases of arbitration with the rank and file when disciplinary action is taken.
A new chief will need to be aware of all these issues and still figure out a way to reform the department. It's not an easy task.


So let's review:
*  The Americans have pretty much dropped a crate of anvils on Bombardier's subsidized airplanes.
* Justin Trudeau is continuing taking action to "phase out" (his words) Canada's oil and gas industry.
* Trudeau and Morneau are gearing up for their tax vendetta on small business while leaving family trusts untouched.
(It's hard to know who is left to generate value.  Selfie sessions, real estate bubbles, and endless payouts and apologies to aggrieved groups are poor wealth generating activities.)


The Shanaplan doesn't include bringing in mercenaries looking to add to their bank account - the Shanaplan is all about growing your own food! Now if there's a Komorov out there for a mid round pick or if there's a fine young player out there who has star potential you do the deal. You have to think a team like the Ducks are extremely interested in JVR - but they are in a death stare match on what they are willing to give up - glad Lou is doing the staring for us!


Volcanic eruptions contribute largely to cooling of the planet, not warming.   You may want to educate yourself on   history of past eruptions and the dramatic shor term effect they've had on climate, particularly the massive eruption of Mt. Tambora in 1815.   The following year was considered "the year with no summer" and crops failed around the globe.   Fossil fuel emissions have the opposite effect, C02 and methane gasses trapping heat rather than reflecting sunlight.


I have long said we should build a wall of our own --  then flood the USA with all of our excess water.

But seriously, maybe we want to get on the ball, and create programs that work to integrate these new immigrants into our country.  With appropriate vetting, of course.

Most will prove to be hard working people aspiring to create a better life for their family.  Most of us see that everyday where we shop.

Give them support (language skills, etc....) and we will be the better for it. As we have always been from doing a good job of accepting immigrants and making them a part of the Canadian fabric.


We could start with the political affiliation that supports the NRA and flooding our country with millions of guns which are then used in gun violence that cost America billions annually dealing with it.


Barbra and Mike your morals are exactly that "your morals".  You can't expect to impose your morals on anyone else.  You both sound like very fearful parents and fearful people.  Your children are not going catch this by hearing the announcement on the loudspeaker.  LGBTQ is not catching and it is here to stay.  They are born this way.  I hope neither of you have an LGBTQ child as neither of you have the heart or love to accept them.    You might want to see this on National Geographic if you dare.  http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/gender-revolution-a-journey-with-katie-couric/.  Be clear this is not a choice.


It changes nothing. It hardly reveals anything new at all. Marching orders from GOP pundits came down, though,  so now they're pretending like it's something new.


Good to see this lakefront attraction being re-opened. If well managed the joys of an earlier generation can be experienced by todays. I look forward to visiting and although not a fan of war films this could be good to see.
