Russia, as of 1995, had two of its own similar facilities.  The major difference between those facilities and HAARP was the IRI, the phased array transmitter that could arc by 30 degrees.


Of course there was there was also the whole thing where Jacob Zuma lied and said he was not given a chance to respond when in fact he had and so Madonsela released the transcripts. This was apparently worthy of investigation by Mkhwebane. And then there was also the money they tried to claim from her for her car. So what we had then was a woman of tremendous courage and integrity who had a strained relationship with a woman who had question marks over her from the beginning. I knew where I stood on that one.

On your second point, ANC leadership and parliamentarians may be rotten now but, to be fair, they were the liberation party and did much for the country. It wasn't so long ago that we were happy we didn't descend into civil war. And that's not even mentioning the government we had before the ANC. South Africa's history is longer than 20 years.


Does much-younger-than-Pierre Margaret Trudeau have a public service widow's pension, for which she paid not a cent, and Pierre just a bit, that is indexed to inflation, and payable for her lifetime?  Or not?  I wonder.


Choon can't stand the competition.  The other trolls post much betta drivel.


Yes - fund this, fund that. And in return we will block every pipeline project, dam etc. Just tax the taxpayers (not us) more to pay for it all. Sounds fair to me. The smartest thing would be to turn off the taps.


Nice to meet you Paul.    Is your last name also Scott?   I know at least one other Paul Scott has had comments posted.  I'm also old 64, white and an independent NA.  I used to feel I was 'liberal' in mostly mildly conservative Iowa, but in Eugene, I think my opinions are tilted conservative.   I'm Christian as well, but please don't assume 'sameness' with other Christians.

Looking forward to more post Paul


Amazing. He wrote for the slapstick of I Love Lucy and then the social satire of All in the Family. Bob Schiller sure was a writer.


Judaism is an outgrowth of Zoroastrianism, one of the first One God religions based on a Patriarchal deity displacing the Matriarchal Godesses of earlier spirituality.  Godesses revered as the producers of life.  The result has been war, torture, misogyny, and male prelate dictatorship dedicated to the conquest of all others' land, property, wealth, bodies and soul.  All accomplished through militant actions wiping out any other humans in their way.  Christianity is a creation using Judaism as a base by a 2nd Century Pope in collusion with a Roman Emperor to wipe out all other pagan religions for a more suitable male dictatorship reflected in a male god.  The Roman legions were used to carry out the conquests under the new banner of the male christian god.  All of the current male god religions, Judaism, christianity, and Islam are based on the Judaic creation story of Adam and Eve and their tyrannical god.  The world has suffered ever since.  The biggest lie of all.


No, just natural realities.

We get sick, we have headaches and sores, we get terminal illness.

The question is:  Have you learned how to sanctify all the realities that God allows in your life?

Here's one:  People make silly or cutting or sarcastic remarks for various reasons and deficiencies.

Well formed Catholics say: It's our own defects that make us unhappy. I refuse to let this person's small or cutting or cynical or snide remarks dampen my cheer at all.  I am an adopted and loved child of God. Nothing can shake my joy.  God is my Father after all.

And so rather than getting sad or upset when someone makes a small or sarcastic or cutting remark, the well formed Catholic simply integrates this experience with the suffering that Jesus happily took on for us.

We unite our suffering with us, and we are joyful because of this intimacy we share with Joy Himself.


I have a theory why people are so stupid in these days. For about 30 years the government instructed people to cut out fat from our diet. Replace it with Carbs. Sugar. The population has gotten sicker and fatter. But also more stupid.
So here it is. The brain is basically fat and protein. Exacly what most people don't eat anymore. So if they don't eat what the brain needs it can not develop.
There it is I got the problem figured out. Eat more Moose and Salmon.


Written by a commercial fisherman. How about all the salmon with net marks on them I catch and put in my freezer. What is the mortality rate for a fish that is hung in a commercial net and flops it's way out 30 minutes later? Sounds like he doesn't want people fishing "his" lakes.


The real "danger" in the digitization/automation  movement, included in what Mr. Wadhwa writes, is artificial intelligence. It seems we are in reckless pursuit of all three.
There's no telling how the  confluence of computer sciences, genomics, prosthetics, robotics, alternative energy sources, high density energy packets, broadband communications, and AI will shake out. But I think there will be at least two major consequences. The first will be humanity's loss of purpose. After all, if the computers and robots are doing everything for us, driving cars, shopping, cooking, learning, and having fun, then for what reason(s) does mankind continue to exist?
The second will will be a new dominant species. Again, there's no telling in how it will manifest. However, it won't be long before it concludes that humans are not only inconvenient, but inimical to its purposes.
 The overall effect will be that mankind will have stepped aside to let the AI entity rule. It's evolution on steroids.


"It's own particular brand of Greek family entertainment."   What does the writer mean by that?  Sounds pretty racist.


I loved your story about Joe Akeya and his work.  I lived in Savoonga for three years in the early 80's, when Joe was a lot younger.  I wish him and his family the best.


You are confused.


You're overlooking one of the main benefits of these systems: shutting down automated infrastructure like powerplants and pipelines.

For most SCADA systems, 25 seconds is long enough to mitigate some damage.


The range anxiety cancels out any economy advantage.  It is a market killer.


It is, perhaps, time that the bishops realize that their bungling of the on-going abuse of minors, the radical non-accountability of Bishops, and the more recent battle against civil-equalities have left most Catholics skeptical of any teaching that comes from the Chancery.

There is a strong Catholic argument against Capital Punishment.
There is a strong Catholic argument against Abortion (late-term or otherwise).
There is a strong Catholic argument against assisted suicide.
There is a strong Catholic in support of the sanctity and indissolubility of marriage.

The Bishops have labored non-stop 24/7 over the last 30 years to dismantle their collective (and often personal) credibility to be proponents of any of these arguments.


VOTE OCT 4 to say no to prohibition in the Mat-Su. We need the money and jobs right here in the valley.


Yeah, it was the coaches fault that Siemian threw 2 terrible ints one for 6 and the kicker missed easy field goals which put the Broncos in crap field position, stupid coach. Broncos lost after the bye last year as well, and that was a pretty experienced coach they had.

By reading the article, it's pretty obvious what the problem is, everyone knows what Siemian is capable of, and they know how to stop him.


I'll take it!  Thank you!  Whew....Got karpul tunnel on that thread!  One correction: the only FBI dodger mentioned on this thread are the references to your president.😉(smiley face eye wink)


Okay, you don't like Trump.  Your right.  But the comparisons to Hilter are just BS.


Such a massive editorial failure in doing some basic background research here by the G&M.  Further, it's fanned the flames of the usual "OMG look what Trump did crowd".

The lawyer who helped Obama draft this order came out siding with Trump and explained the situation well.  Obama was pushing for the same thing - him and Trump have the same outlook on this problem (Globe - let that sink in to your editorial staff).

Long story short, the part of this order (it was not legislation hence the call to Congress for action) dealing with parents had already been struck down and the Democratic lawyers agreed this part was next and didn't hold to court scrutiny.  Trump even gave a grace period for legislation to be completed.

What a bunch of screaming from the usual crowd on here, including the editors.


Your "facts" are not correct according to the application filed with the County.

The total application is for 242.37 acres. Not all of this land is in the Rural zone (a Dwelling Unit/5 acres density). Most of it is zoned Rural Agriculture at 1 Dwelling Unit/10 acres.

Rural zoned lands = 93.83 acres = 18 houses
Rural Ag zoned lands = 148.54 acres = 15 houses

So the total possible development without doing a Planned Residential Development = 33 houses, not the 50 you claim.
However, the number of houses could conceivably be doubled by doing a Planned Residential Development, but then the vast majority of the land would have to remain in open space (i.e., farm use).

One other thing. If I'm reading the maps correctly, this mega development will completely surround a 40 acre parcel of Commercial Agriculture zoned land. How long do you think farming on that land will last once its surrounded by urban development?


Sovereign individual: code for white nationalist


These overpaid undereducated buffoons can't even articulate what they are doing and why.


I wish they would quit giving these extensions and either do away with the law or enforce it.


Keep this in mind: This "new" GOP tax plan is a revision of a revision of a revision of the original one.....that The Denver Post lambasted...very clearly.
-
If the editorial board at The Denver Post found some things - some things - in this "revision of a revision of a revision" of the GOP tax plan that they like.....and said so....and defended....then that is to their credit.
-
The tax code is too complicated....and, as the editorial noted, it is not "fair" that only "the savvy, well-informed taxpayers who are experts at avoidance and evasion" can play the current tax-game.....while the rest of us get screwed.
-
Anything that makes it simpler....tends to make it fairer....to the vast majority of us....who can't afford to hire lawyers and CPA's to avoid and evade paying taxes.


ADN loves their 420 reporting...explains the slackmindedness on every other section.


I also grew up in Portland. When I was a kid, 45th and Hawthorne was made of meth-heads, my mother didn't like me to stay the night at my friend's house on 19th and Prescott, you didn't get off the #4 bus in Columbia Villa unless you had an invite. Not the worst city of all times, but definitely not the Disneyland of now. The reason that all of those things are not true today is because of a gradual influx of good people. Transplants slowly changed the culture of this city from the hick tweakers of my youth into the amazing social champions of today. Good on them!

I am not a crazy artist. I am also not lazy. I am however, bitter. I spent years doing the things I needed to do: education, skills, real life knowledge. And I cannot afford to live here now. What I have a problem with is the speed with which things have changed, the lack of infrastructure, and the pushing out of local families for the love of condos built, bought, and owned by people who don't even live here.


There are so many things wrong with this. 1) If the kid had learned from his parents that slavery might be re-instituted, he would have gone to school with that belief, not come home with it; 2) children who are born in this country are U.S. citizens--they have broken no laws; 3) it is not up to Obama to end racism--it is up to the racists; blaming black people for the way white people treat them is entirely racist (I know, you don't use the n-word, so you can't be racist; after all you voted for a black man; but then when people wouldn't stop referring to him and his wife as "apes," you didn't blame them, you blamed him); 4) if you "have given up on hope," then clearly your vote for Trump is not because you hope he will end racism, end poverty, end partisanship. You voted Trump to screw everyone else in your pathetic life. With your vote, you have done absolutely zero to constructively improve the world.  You have voted to support a con man, a religious bigot, a sexual predator.


Our first obligation is to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

What would you tell someone in the antebellum South who said their conscience told them blacks weren't people and that it was their right to own slaves?  Would you still say our first obligation is to respect the conscience of others? Why or why not?

The unborn have immortal souls, but so does everyone else.  It doesn't make killing the already born morally justifiable.

So much of this mistaken autonomy of conscience that the CCC speaks of can be boiled down to, "I decide for myself what is good and evil."


You cannot be serious!  The State land “wasn’t always there?”  That was State land before Congress expanded the Park and moved around and North of the townships in question.   Good grief.


I, for one, Malamute Matt, would happily state unto your face, everything I have ever posted here, which is why I use mine own real name.

And should conversation ever actually occur, I would tell you, that within mine own belief system, that Clinton, and their ilk, are much more aligned unto the "Hitleresque" ideology than Trump, and his supporters shall ever be.

I am not a Trump supporter, but rather an individualist Libertarian, and voted Libertarian, but I shall tell you this, as I would directly unto you, should we ever actually meet.

The individual, within this Nation of citizens, matters much more than whatever demographic they belong unto, as assigned by our Government, and that is all the Woodrow Wilson Progressives, and Liberals see, and care about.

Always the demographic.

Never the individual.

And as such, the Woodrow  Wilson Progressives, the leftist radicals, and the Marxists, hold no actual power, as individuals are stronger than the demographic they are a part of.


It is simply a form of Imperialism, period.


Politics? How about good old common sense, which the Constitution was written by?


According to at least one report that I saw last night, 45 is at 35% and falling. What a train wreck.


Dreamer! There are no sweethearts in Veneta.


Yes, it may have seemed a difficult feat to make Bush look like the Golden Child, but Trump has done it.
I think if you want to trace the current infestation back to its roots, you have to go back to Reagan.  Not sure why so many Americans idolize the guy, but it started with him.


Thank you APD. Please get the rest. All have a great deal to think about in jail. They could have killed that employee or a customer with their craziness. Yes criminally crazy that does not belong among society. Can't fix stupid.


“It would be a beautiful, beautiful thing if we could get together as two parties that love our country and come up with that great healthcare and come up with that great tax deal for our people . . . and infrastructure and so many other things,” Trump said. “Just think about what a unified American nation could achieve.”
Translation: Be reasonable, do it my way.


When your 'chief strategist' is Brietbart Bannon, what else should we expect ?


Seems to me you're suggesting that the crimes of the past are swept under the carpet. This is not a good idea, for very obvious reasons. It's because these past crimes had not been dealt with that we sit with many of our problems today. It's never too late to be informed about corporate malfeasance.

Naspers put their money where their mouth was. Apartheid would never have continued for as long as it did without the support of business.


Talk to old-time Alaskan guides (ones in their 90's now).  Their view is the BOG's intent is to exterminate all wildlife in Alaska.  The hunter saturation of Alaska during hunting season is beyond comprehension for these old timers.  "How can any animals survive in Alaska?" is a comment you often hear from old guides.  And then there is the Native culture that annihilates any creature with a pulse and ensures wildlife dead zones w/in 50-100 miles of any Native village.


Please read the article where it mentions it not being legal to have the business running yet.  Then maybe you can repost a comment that makes better sense.


Perhaps because we have - and need - an open and free press under the Constitution so anyone can be interviewed including the 2 people you referred to - if they and an interview even existed.  I man, you are proven to be pretty darn loose with facts and fiction, yes?


When candidate Trump, asked by Hedge Fund Manager, John Paulson, the criteria Trump would use to make his administration more effective, Trump said "I'll choose the best people for my administration."

Jimbo5 comments, "Interesting breakdown of a generous view of 'defense' spending. Although such a proposal from Mr. Byers would not impress Mr. Trump or the armchair generals that post on this site."

I would have thought the "creative accounting" would have impressed Donald who personally hasn't contributed to US Defense spending in years, but what might upset him is if we spent the money buying SAAB jet fighters and put them together ourselves using armchair generals because it's my understanding their assembly instructions rival those of IKEA!


If that happened -- the cell phone records would be simple to obtain, of course -- it's a slam dunk mistrial and a likely prosecution for the contemptuous juror.

Allowing the week-long "vacation" during deliberations was also a boneheaded move.  Way too high a risk of jurors being swayed improperly by outside influences.  Actually, I'm kinda surprised they weren't sequestered for the duration of deliberations since this was a high-profile, high-emotion trial in the same jurisdiction where the murder occurred.


Truly awe inspiring.


"They deserve more than subsistence." - TheWorkForce

The "poor" are just half breed animals, and deserve only the scraps that the rich are willing to throw to them.

If they weren't an inferior breed then they would be rich and wouldn't live in hand out housing.

Losing a few of them just means that there are fewer of them to breed.

We control how much dogs breed, so we must do with these animals.


Of course it's more than very old appliances, as I pointed out many other failings, but it has very little to do with the surrounding real-estate prices. The tower should have been torn down and re-built with proper fire suppression systems and fire escapes. The building was built 43 years ago, it had out lasted it's use and couldn't keep up to current safety standards.

I'm not complaining about the the migrants being there, or it being subsidized housing. I'm complaining that the owner of the building is also the regulator, it's a conflict of interest. They chose the cheapest method to update the tower, at the risk to those living there. The local council took the risk, those poor people in the tower paid the price. Those migrants and low income people that died there deserved better. This was gross negligence on a large scale. The owners should be punished, but they're the government so they won't be.


Well, if it helps, know that I take both my vote and my Catholicism very seriously. I try to form my politics through the lens of the Gospel, not the other way around.


Now is probably not a good time, anyway, with the hurricane devastation.


I'm white. I got a bogus speeding ticket 2 1/2 years ago from the chief of police in a small town in Kansas who was said to write tickets on non-residents to raise money. My ticket had been started before I ever got to town and the location and the speed limit were crudely changed on the ticket to make it appear genuine. The City Attorney who prosecuted it blocked my attempts to get a dash cam video and audio dispatch recording that would have proved the chief tampered with the evidence, writing the ticket to cover his failure to follow through with finishing for the person for whom he had been citing. I finally pleaded guilty to what I thought was a non-moving violation, rather than drive hundreds of miles again for a preliminary hearing and then a trial. However the prosecutor had lied to me. I actually got a moving violation.  I was appalled, but I must say that most of the police I've worked with over the years have been honest.  but am well aware judicial discrimination exists.

Sambo,

This is going to sound snarkier that I really intend it to be, but your worldview is pretty Pollyannish.

And it just ain't the real world, unless you live in a beehive, and we are not bees.


Your belief that Communists and Russians played a significant role in American politics during the 30s and 60s must have been transmitted directly into your amygdala by space aliens from Area 51. Surprise! Your tin foil hat did not protect you!

Did you ever consider politics and reality may have had something to do with influencing our politics? I wasn't alive during the Roosevelt Administration but knew many who were and appreciated his efforts to put the country back to work and the civic works that resulted. (Consider the price of electricity in the Pacific Northwest) I was certainly alive and politically active during Viet Nam however. Everyone was either for or against. Nobody was on the fence. There was no need for the KGB to inflame antiwar sentiment. LBJ and Nixon did that just fine all by themselves.


Turn em off. Problem solved


"But more intense storms are what scientists expect to see as the planet’s climate changes because warmer ocean water is fuel for hurricanes".

However how does this play if climate change is melting the poles. Think ice in warm water. Is it possible these more intense storms are because there isn't global warming. It's also interesting that hurricane season, is from late spring to early fall. Over the summer when the sun is in the Northern Hemisphere, and when the water in the Atlantic is the warmest.


By the way, my comment was a response to another comment that contained this nugget: "Ever [sic] single citizen of the confederacy belongs in the same category as the Nazis."


Wow! Reading these comments is really scary and depressing. - almost as depressing as reading the comments on breitbart.com. Why do so many people believe so many irrational things with such tenacity? It is almost enough to say "bring on climate change".  Perhaps evolution over the next few million or billion years will create another species on the earth capable of intelligently living within the restraints of its environment after we are gone. There are billions upon billions of other stars in the universe and many will have developed life forms some of which will have done better than humans and will continue to exist and thrive long after we are gone.


Read the article; the Prime Minister's message is quoted in it.


His letter reads like he is playing Go Fish, hoping his rationale will buy political points somewhere.  Since its closer to home, maybe he could focus on some of his colleagues in the Senate and House?


As one who immigrated here back in 1969 let me state the following:
1. The process took all of 4 weeks. Simply because of qualifications in the technical field.
2. Arriving in Canada and starting a job in the same field it was culture shock i.e a throwback to the '50s.
3. It got considerably better after a job change into the hi-tech field of my choice. Where I noticed that most of the really progressive companies were started by European immigrants and the majority of their employees were also Europeans.
Trust me, it wasn't a communication problem, it was, and is, strictly a matter of qualifications.

Part 1
I suspect, Mike, that we may differ profoundly about the probably nature of the non-genetic factors that affect our sexual orientation at puberty.

I am convinced that we ought to understand ourselves as essentially tri-leveled creatures, biological, psychological, and spiritual; and I view our understanding of our psychological nature as in its mere infancy. Among available theoretical options, I lean strongly to the psychoanalysitic in a moderately precise, very limited sense. That is, I reject most of psychoanlalytic theory, but believe that that field has correctly identified that we have an powerful psycho-active unconscious (as well as a semi-conscious, and conscience mind). Further, I think pyschoanalysis (1) has correctly identified dream analysis as the key to efforts to try to understand our unconscious mind, and (2) has correctly understood that our unconscious mind in so much as it affects our later behaviour, is largely settled in our infancy (prior to two years).


Time will tell. Blackberry has a better management team now, is more diversified and is much better prepared to change as a business then they were when mainly a smart phone company in 2007.


Why the US health care system is expensive.

Americans opted for the more expensive options open to them.

Some opted for low cost. Lots for high cost. Always an option. It would be interesting to see what Canadians opted for if we went private  sector. Probably higher than now since higher cost in the private sector usually means better. But it would be selected by us. And it would not  apply to everyone.  Truly it would be typical of the private sector - you gets what you pay for.

So enough of this US health care is expensive. Canadian private sector health care cost will be what individuals decide for themselves and their families.


Apologize and compensate as that is what the government likes to do, then the Trudeau Liberals can move on to find another group to apologize to and compensate, it is what we do.


This man is as narcissistic as the current occupant of the White House and I doubt you can convince him to vote against this bill.


is trump the only thing this delusional ibbitson thinks about? get some help ibby, you clearly are a nut job


You only have to review the ridiculous religious formation of the pre-VII era to understand how EVERY normal, human sexual impulse, or even childhood curiosity about sex was distorted and demonized.  Teaching a second-grader that an "impure thought" meant a trip to the confessional or that teens making out were on the road to hell (while many of those same moralists were among the many child sexual abusers) was the height of both ignorance of the human condition as well as sinful hypocrisy.  Don't kid yourself about a supposed absence of sex-related behaviors then, either -- they were just not publicized or discussed as much.  Sex is a primal instinct FROM GOD and not intrinsically evil as your posts imply.


One has to have values in order to abandon them.

I'm so glad you included that "due process of law" thing, because that is an Constitutional right.  That isn't a license, that is the exercise of that very right.  Due process, that thing that the government MUST do to insure an individuals rights are not violated.  Requiring a license for something that is an enumerated right, is not due process.  It is against the Constitution to "chill" those rights by licensing their use.


And  you will be the first to line up to deposit your life savings in a non-FDIC bank?  Go right ahead.


Thank you for demonstrating that your knowledge of Illinois politics is on the same abysmal level as your knowledge of mathematical logic. The failings are bipartisan.

Incidentally, in my post on Cicero, I did not bother saying that every single town official I mentioned is a Republican. Cicero has been solidly Republican since Al Capone lived there.


SportsguyTO : true, but its' real meaning in that there are diversions that people latch onto to avoid dealing with the real problems that confront them right here and now...


Many university faculty today bemoan the fact many of their students are functionally illiterate or close to it. They hate to read, complain about having to read, have trouble reading any demanding texts,  and avoid doing it in their own life. And yet, they graduate.Trump seems to be one of those. Business and economics are also not particularly demanding of reading skills, they rely on short  "executive summaries", math equations and Powerpoint presentations.

And I have seen for myself the caliber of  university students over 30 years, particularly business students. Some are very bright and well-read, most are not.


It's becoming clear that the republicans AND democrats have been playing a game of co-existence. Both sides are culpable in growing the establishment (Swamp), and currently both sides are distressed by disturbance of the establishment (Swamp). Drain that swamp and watch the political minions cry crocodile tears...


It takes a special level of gall to dismiss virtually all instance of reasonable doubt arising from red flags about an accuser's credibility as founded in "myths", and then turn around and accuse the police of indifference to missing and murdered aboriginal women, on the basis of a solve rate of 88% (vs 89% for the general population).


Are you kidding me ? Who do you think got many of those fans there ? I spent all week telling everyone I know and all of my contacts to go to last nights game.  They went and were kicked in the gut again.  My bad for telling them to go.  You'd have figured since UAA knew those other teams lost before their game they would have given it 110 ten percent  to win  .  Instead , weak goal tending allowed the first goal and the hand writing was on the wall.   You better get everyone you know to show up tonight . While your at it , get UAA to show up as well.   Next season is they're last unless they get they're acts together. I'm glad you had a great time at the game.


"This will come back to bite the players in the wallets."
Wrong, John. In the next year or so, Trump will be history and the players' wallets will be fatter than ever.

I hope this improves Alaska Airlines price structure. I know it wont affect prices in Northern Alaska it ALWAYS stays high.


Cut healthcare to pay for "green" energy, moving power plants, and dealing with a reduced tax base from all of the industry that has left the province.

MAKES SENSE TO A LIBERAL!


I found it quite troublesome how they intentionally flipped the graphs to incorrectly show Quebec as always having paid more in equalization distribution when they have always been a recipient benefitting from the formula.

What is even more troublesome is the federal government didn't take punitive measures against Quebec for ramming their own revisionist history into their student's heads.

It had been so easy for the Liberals to throw prairie farmers in jail for crossing the border to donate grain to US 4-H clubs and threaten to hold back health care transfers to Alberta when Klein was exploring private clinics even when Ontario, Quebec and BC already had their's well established.


and that speculation is soaring since and because of trumps election and policies he says he is bringing, thus trump owns this one


I will continue to repost them when people like you flag them because they are not racist. You just don't believe that anyone with a differing viewpoint (such as calling it like it is) should be allowed a voice. That's called oppression and censorship. Much like the strategy that Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, and (more recently) North Korea employed so successfully. So. Which one of us would be responsible for reviving the oppressive tactics? (ps, I don't flag YOUR comments as offensive just because I disagree with them)


No it isn't. We know what it means, it's not watered down at all, and what Trump just did to transgender people is hateful by definition. Get used to it. It's what motivates everything he does - hatred. For minorities, immigrants, women, LGBTQ, Muslims, the poor, the old, and the sick.


If the batteries only last two weeks, how do they get recharged? Did he have to get close enough every two weeks to change the batteries?

I agree with you fully on your central points.

I would simply like to point out, in case you have never heard the following, that St. Thomas was not 'against the Immaculate Conception.'

Rather, this common depiction, that has been long promoted, ignores his specific texts that do not contradict what that dogma implies at all, as was shown long ago by Nobert del Prado, in his Divus Thomas et bulla dogmatica "Ineffabilis Deus".

Sincere regards.


That's better than the Majority serving ultra minorities!


"all socialism is bad."

Tell that to the residents of Houston and Florida trying to rebuild.  While you're at it, tell it to oil and gas executives that embrace their multiple billions in annual subsidies.


Morneau is right on this one and I do not believe it will cause many doctors to leave. The tax system must be applied fairly and equally to all, doctors are no exception. This change achieves greater fairness and closes an exploited loophole that allows some people to submit less tax than is the intention of tax law. IF this is going to cause an exodus, stopping it has to be addressed some other way.  The tax policy is sound.


Jack, do you get the point at all that for many Catholics it is an outrage that the priest who married them, lectured them on what marriage is, made them sign a document in a mixed marriage that the none catholic person promises to "bring up their children to know and love the catholic faith alone" - then gets found out to have sexually abused those children? That the priest's Bishop knew about this priest and others years beforehand and simply moved him? That one Pope instructed his henchman at the CDF to cover it up (globally) and that the Princes(!) of the Church then elected that henchman to be Pope where he used his position to further cover up this disgusting behaviour?

The organisation which perpetrated this evil still thinks it can lecture Catholics on what they can and cannot do in the privacy of their own bedrooms? Really?!

You, me, the clergy, the Bishops and the Pope have LOST that right. We need to shut up and leave people alone before our people rightfully turn on us.


intertwined with this should be a discussion of breeders of every ilk, who continue to breed animals and to the people who buy and dispose of them at whim.


Statistics taught at earlier ages need not cover more than the arithmetic involved, not major concepts...however, reliability of the data can be introduced, especially querying students on whether they believe the database was large enough to draw a proper conclusion...these concepts are widened as the student grows in age and knowledge.  I could certainly see my 8th grade advanced math grandson being able to do standard deviation calculations...

Concepts have to be presented according to the age and ability of students.  Some are ready, some are not.


We get it Mike. Your in love with Beauchemin. Get yourselves a room and quit whining to Avs fans who actually watched him play here. He couldn't keep up then, and he surely couldn't keep up with the team now. He surely didn't do any good mentoring the team while he was here. We have the right leadership now. It should have been Landeskog and Johnson as the top leaders of this team all along. When you rely on outsiders to come in and lead your team, it upsets the pure natural order of leadership. This was not Beachemin's team, this has always been Johnson's and Landeskog's team. And now they have the leadership helm. See how much better it is all throughout the lineup and the lockerroom?  This new Avs team will now go the way of Johnson and Landeskog, as it should always have been.  Thank God the Roy era is almost closed. This team has new life out from under the dark cloud Roy put us under.


Tillman is a true hero not the spoiled millionaire players who lack respect for our country!!!!!


He probably would have gotten away with it but when he threatened the dog...


It is now.

Bristol Palin who got pregnant at the age of 16 one night in a tent with wine coolers and her then boyfriend came out in the media and said her mom , Sarah, never did have the mother-daughter "talk" with her on sex.  So schools are where the "action" is and for a lot parents it is not at home, so the best place to educated on reproduction is in a public school where you and your peer group will get the same message. States like Texas who did abstinence only programs have the highest teen pregnancy rate.


This article didn't mention it but I think the biggest need for a re-sign is catcher Jonathan Lucroy.  Since he came to CO he has batted well and the help he gives these young pitchers from behind the plate is invaluable.  I really hope we can keep him in CO for at least a few more years.  Getting Blackmon or Arenado signed to a long term contract should be second on the priority list (not sure we can afford to keep both) and then probably getting McGee or Neshek back as well.  I'm willing to give Desmond another chance considering he couldn't stay healthy this year.  Hopefully he can really bring it next season.  He's a classy guy who works hard and wants to win badly so hopefully he can get it together for next season.  I'd like to give Holland another chance but, tbh, it wouldn't hurt my feelings to see him go.  Gonna be tough to get his performance in the wild card game out of my memory...


Your almost right: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." - pelosi


Monitoring and auditing an employee's calls is an important function but, in my experience managing large contact centers, it is much more valuable as a training and coaching tool than performance tool.


What is this "it" to which you refer, my dear?


Criminal justice reform in Alaska is long overdue.  SB91 is a good start, but much still needs to be done. It's easy to see why the public is baffled, confused, resentful, afraid and in some cases angry. So much fear mongering and propaganda demonizing those who commit crimes, masquerading as the truth, has been spoon fed to them by those running for office, law enforcement, prosecutors, correctional officers, their unions and the media--including ADN--over the years that deprogramming the public is going to take some time.  Once that is accomplished, reeducation can begin.

In the interim the public needs to accept responsibility for blindly accepting the misinformation fed to them by those in power, and begin educating themselves.


Say all you want but the Liberals are here to stay because Patrick Brown is totally unelectable. That may be sad but it is reality.


Can I give you 100 stars?

It is ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH!!!

WE NEED TO FOCUS ON SOLUTIONS! Focus on ideas and implementing them!!!


Your post reminds me that the same reasoning holds true for teachers, policemen and fire fighters, but  many of them have not received salary increases in years- most recent contracts are based on health insurance premiums being held steady instead of salary increases.

The "Conoco Caucus" is motivated by more than compensation from the state, as we ALL know.

BTW, most of the "Conoco Caucus" has VERY well paying jobs in the private sector- "they don't need no stinkin' per diem!"


With two maybe three appointments to the Supreme court nothing will change on Roe/Wade. Mexico will not even pay for a wire fence. So what will Change?  Allies are aghast.


As well, the solution to a broken cartel is not more of the cartel.


Good question

Why are good editorials so hard to find at this paper ?

No answer needed... I really don't care anymore


Activists don't know the role of trees, nor what what stumpage is.


For decades we have spoon fed China money and technology with the hope that they would gravitate to a softer more democratic western style of thinking and it has worked but unfortunately only at the lower levels, with those that do not wield power.  China is a dictatorship and only those of the same mindset as will rise to power any internal challenges are snuffed out.

Trump needs to drop the Taiwan bargaining chip as it is bringing out the bully in China it so carefully hides on the world scene and instead focus on duties and technology transfer bans. He may look to how China moves it currency offshore by buying foreign assets to protect them from its own currency devaluations. You can't sabre rattle with a mindset that builds its own island, in the middle of nowhere, to extend territorial claims.

As for China they are takers, if they were wise they would do to North Korea what they did to Nepal or are they afraid that NK will fight back? If they did Trump would hug them like Putin.


The union has to be overhauled as much as the Commission does. There is far too much protection for bad cops, including the chief. If a private business was run like the city, they'd be operating at the same crippling debt and disfavor.


It is funny how the ignorant of today believe they understand the mentality that existed up to the Civil War. As always, CONSERVATIVES rewrite history(or minimize what they do not agree with) to be of their liking and consistent with their present day agenda.

From one article: Recall that in the "Great Compromise," it was determined that representation in the House of Representatives would be based on the population of each state. After the convention approved the Great Compromise, Madison wrote: "It seems now to be pretty well understood that the real difference of interests lies not between the large and small but between the northern and southern states. The institution of slavery and its consequences form the line of discrimination."

To imply nearly 100-years later(Civil War) what had been a monumental issue(slavery) in the creation of the USA was
now reduced to the North telling the South what do as the motivating factor for fighting by the southern soldiers is absurd.


Much like the entire Democrat strategy is based on creating a welfare state filled with freeloaders?

See how that works when you stereotype but don't know what you're talking about?


Boots>  I do remember Ronald Rewald, he was a big scam artist.  The REPs are terrible legislators, that I agree.  They have failed the people in keeping their promise to provide for the people a better healthcare program.  They should all quit.  But being that the situation is as it is, can only hope for the best, to include the NK situation.  Trump is the President, here and now and the nation faces a multitude of precarious international issues. 'I feel that it is necessary for all Americans to pull together for our country's survival.  There are so many troublemakers disrupting our nation's peace and serenity.  The government needs to crackdown on these groups, now!!!!


Total number of slaves freed in the Emancipation Proclamation=0 (It actually promised any seceded state that came back into the union within a certain time they would be guaranteed to keep their slaves).  Total number freed when Lee surrendered to Grant=0 (Including Grants Slaves, Lee had already freed his years before so you can't count them). Know your history folks.


So you think a BACHELOR's level study based on a sample of state of the union speeches is a sufficient test?   OMG

Please don't go into clniical trial testing.


One would hope that the people of France can understand how corrupt that Russian society is and would want to turn their backs on that kind of life. Even if the Americans are too stupid to realize it.

Russia is one of the most corrupt nations on earth and everybody pays. You think paying taxes is bad how about having to bribe everybody, pay protection money, and still pay taxes. All the money goes to the oligarchs who are all friends of Putin. In Russian society if you go on vacation you have to register with the local government when you arrive so the government can keep track of you at all times. Sounds like a great place to live.


Larry, this will really freak you out. I have 4 kids and one of them have lived in The Netherlands and Poland for the past 5 years. That really must scare you


Perhaps we have to look at this in short retaliatory succession following the Mining Charter, and as a mood creating precursor to the Mega Conference. Create a bigger mess (no matter the damage) that would provoke a huge reaction from the 'white monopoly capital' and thus elicit support for the 'cause', as defined by the propaganda. I am waiting for the third act.


"equal"  doesn't necessarily mean "just the same" . and you are being very offensive in your  implication one race is inferior to another -  ignoring 200 and counting years of repression


True. Since we are reading the DP (I know original is WP) and I live in Denver, my comment is directed at Denver area. That being said, not a chance in heck 100k is upper middle in the Denver area.


Complaining that the mainstream media has a liberal bias is like complaining that the military has a conservative bias.  Get over it already.  People with certain attitudes and ideas overwhelmingly go into certain professions.  Grow up and stop acting like such a snowflake, Cal Thomas.


IMHO, one should ignore the Donald's rhetoric and simply watch what he does. So far he has surrounded himself with titans of the business sector, far-right social conservatives (including some notorious big*ts)  and relatives. He still has not released his tax returns and has not properly divested himself of his financial holdings.

So what should we expect from? I expect a business slanted economy with the upper 3% benefiting and the lower 30% suffering. I expect many scandals (we've already gotten previews). I expect many foreign relations guffaws.

I only hope I am wrong ...


Snow in Anchorage does not necessarily equate to snow in the Range. Last year there was no snow in Anchorage and a dump of it in the Range.


Ali also referred to the Vietnamese as the "yellow man". He refused to go fight in a war with people who in his  mind had never hurt him. Likely Springsteen was referring to that statement.


Thank you. A concise, factual summary.


She might better have said "a black bear that was just going about the business of being a bear."  And she would also have made her case stronger if she had referred to the bear as "that" rather than "who", which is too high a degree of anthropomorphism. for most of us.

But her basic point is right -- black bears are not much of a threat.  They are mostly lazy.  They wander into contact with humans because humans leave around things that smell good to eat.  They leave if you shout at them and wave your arms.  Of course, in an urban area. the bear that leaves my back yard winds up in your back yard, which can make them a bit of a nuisance.  We tend to take the easiest way out of such nuisances and, in areas like Toronto where people get spooky about wildlife, that can lead to bang-bang.

People in places farther north in Ontario are less hysterical and more relaxed about sharing the world with animals like bears.

I would first consider asking my former employer to document my prior salary before I'd provide a W2.  The information on the W2 contains far more information such as withholding amounts that I find no employer needs to know. Also not the above article is not legal advice so it did not render any thing more than an unqualified opinion as to the legality of the potential new  employers request.


the repubs are being stubborn because this election is much more than the candidates themselves, it is about ideology and politics.  this is a very crucial election due to the appointment of 2-3 supreme court judges and with the repubs currently controlling the congress (though they may lose control of the senate), they will want to control the power by having control in the house, the presidency and supreme court and hopefully retain control in the senate.  so it is understandable that ryan and McConnell stead fastly support trump.  they don't like trump but that is their candidate vote for by the party members.


You can say whatever you want in a crowded theater - anywhere, as a matter of fact, as long as it isn't "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action".

“To find he’s a danger or a flight risk now doesn’t make any sense.”  Anyone who makes a Molotov cocktail and throws it at any building is a danger to the public.  He received his break for servicing in the National Guard and in Iraq when the judge let me go in 2013 with the warning not to get I trouble again, a warning he did not heed.  Life is pretty good in South Korea.  I hope he enjoys it there.


Right now there is not even an hour of religious education on which parents can extend upon or even reinforce.  My kids would come back having learned essentially nothing,  because all of the social teaching that they were getting from their "teachers" was obvious to them because they were brought up with parents who had already taught them those things from birth.

The current generation of new parents are products of this post-V-II lack of education; even if their kids learned something about their religion, the parents would be unable to engage with them about it.

Our parish priest thanks the parents - almost begs them to come back - for bringing their kids to mass.  Unfortunately, he says nothing compelling during his homilies that would make those kids want to return on their own someday.  "Oh, you witnessed someone being nice to someone else the other day?  Wow, how great it is to be a Catholic."


Louie CK has this bit about Cinnabon where he says (and I’m paraphrasing) that the folks that go to Cinnabon are one particular type of people - none of them are happy and they all stand in line with their heads down like “here we go again.”  I always assumed that people that ate at fast food restaurants were much the same...they probably weren’t really happy going to these places - but probably just did for the convenience, cheapness etc.  But after reading the comments here and in another article about Wendy’s I’m seeing that’s not the case.  People speak passionately about fast food...I would invite these people to educate themselves on the dangers of eating this stuff and also to expand your horizons.  If you are looking for places to dine out with family and such - there are real restaurants that serve...you know, real food.  Cooking is always an option too.


"Uncle Ton's Cabin" is  a fictionalized story, not an account of the common reality of the time.. One can create a narrative by assembling an assortment of scattered events to create intended drama.


Joe Dick:
"Alceste likes to report posts that don't support his opinions. He's a huge defender and apologist for radical Islam."

-

An utterly shameful and baseless accusation.

Surely you can disagree with someone without being called a "defender and apologist for radical Islam".


Deflect and delay. Exxon must be desperate for money....hahahahahahaha! Oh, I crack me up!


Yikes!  I think you've had enough liberal kool-aid.


Google is appealing.

The case will probably be tied up in litigation for years.


How does a Muslim woman quietly riding a public bus create any harm, or risk of harm, to the broader public good? She doesn't.

Would the author draw the same conclusion if for “Muslim woman” in the above extract we substitute “person wearing a KKK hood”.

I suspect he might not. And, presumably, it would be on the grounds that KKK garb is a potent symbol of a racist ideology. And, as such, the wearing of it in public  does create at least the risk of harm in a society that professes to abhor racism in all its forms.

Surely, there is a parallel argument that garb that conceals a woman's face is a potent symbol of a misogynistic mentality that cannot be tolerated in a country that proclaims the equality of men and women.

So I suggest, with respect to the author, that there is indeed an argument that women who go about their business with their face masked do create a risk of harm to the broader public good.


Yep it was those democraps voting in the republican primaries that propelled Trump to victory, whatever helps you sleep at night.

It's now time for the GOP to reap what it has sown.


Kinda strange the city has all this money for DUI patrols but seems underfunded when it comes to almost all other aspects of law enforcement. To bad we couldn't figure out a way to make rape and murder as profitable for the city as DUIs are, maybe then we could make the city safer.


Harper would have had contempt for a wee debt as he himself left an enormous debt, the biggest in Canadian history with yearly deficits sometimes topping 50 billion.
Yes Harper left a lot more than a wee debt he left a giant debt.


I am not nor have I been a fan of Obama care! It has had a very negative effect on the cost and coverage of my family's insurance and on certain prescriptions.
But, the one and only one thing I though was right in the Obama care was the provision for people with pre-existing medical conditions for affordable coverage and inclusion into company plans.
Even Trump believes or so he said that there needs to be or would be coverage for pre-existing medical condition.
I do not believe in government run health care either. The government had done a terrible job with the VA and in the old days, with IHS and PHS services to Alaska Natives and American Indians.
I am so glad that Vet's can go to private providers now. Hope that will continue because in the long run it saves money and you get better care.


Jr. has you covered. When you destroy your brain and lungs on pot . . . .you can check out with his euthanasia plan.


Spoken like a person from the continent who hasn't learned to assimilate into our local culture. No one asked you to come here. If you no like Hawaii, go back where you came from!
From my perspective part of the beauty of Hawaii IS the diversity. Different peoples, different ideas, food, music, etc. We have different festivals celebrating different cultures virtually every week. I suggest that you to go to some of them to educate yourself on where these folks are from & what they contribute to Hawaii. It may prove to be very illuminating.
And to politicize pidgin? It's apparent that you are not a "Dem" as you call it. So why would you even want to come to the bluest, most diverse state in America? Most of the people that live here are inclusive & live in harmony with their fellow residents.
Yes, Hawaii has problems. I invite you to help to find solutions instead of complaining.
Remember Eldridge Cleaver's quote?
I hope you find contentment at some point, life is too short.

The problem is not going to the White House. It is the timing of the announcement, or even making an announcement, during a politically controversial time. The NHL is now seen to be on the side of Trump.

"As usual" would be to simply go, do the photo-ops, and gush afterwards about the tradition of meeting the President.


Shame on the Globe for burying this story deep on the website.


Just a tiny clarification.

I don't believe in Kim's rhetoric per se.

I do believe that he is a complete fascist lunatic with WMDs and therefore is extremely dangerous and must be taken seriously.

Thanks.


"the stated purpose of the superdelegate system is to tilt the playing field away from candidates who aren’t approved by the establishment."

Where was that stated? And keep in mind that the superdelegates have always supported the candidate with the most pledged delegates which in this case is Ms. Clinton.


Bad enough that the comments section of the G & M has become an echo chamber and there's no dialogue or anything to be learned by reading.....just a few comments in and the decency is completely gone and insults are allowed to stand for hours.

 What a downhill slide this has been.


On that we agree.


Yet another viable reason for the PUBLIC's vocal attendance at Oak Harbor City Council Meetings.....
Whereas, as the City manipulates the Public by stating "new policy requirements" when they've simply passed a city resolution approving wordsmith changes.... while no actual state/federal authoritive changes to Policy have occured.... Is flat out unethically misleading to the public to wit they serve.


I understand people are upset about the state getting it's greedy, incompetent hands on our PFDS. They've gotten their foot in the door, so it's bye-bye PFD. but frankly, as upset or more upset st the $288 million oil giveaway. Really? You cut state services, take half or more of our PFDs, impose a substantial gas tax and want to add on a state income tax then give our money away to oil companies who have made and continue to make billions of dollars off oil they take from our land?  WTF is wrong with the idiots in Juneau?  More importantly, WTF is wrong with the idiots who elect them?


Hurray! We're so thankful for the leadership and sacrifice of Jake & all who heed the call for their vocation. What an awesome story.


This information can be released, with the names changed to John Doe#1 etc.  This should be acceptable to Civil Beat, unless they have a different agenda.

Pope Francis has initiated the restoration of conscience to ordinary Catholics. That, to my mind is his greatest project.


Looking at the property pictures this is just a NORMAL  Looking METH PROPERTY.  By all means this guy should be FINED and held accountable.  If it looks like a RAT, its a RAT.  This guy is a RAT.  How about the state take the property, get homeless people in the area to clean it up, and make it a Homeless Hut community.  You can put quite a few Huts on 2 acres.  The Homeless would take pride in the property unlike the "RAT".


Oregon # 9...geez , you just gotta believe the RG would get this correct wouldn't ya?  It's no big deal 9 vs 8 but as long as you're gonna reference a number it should be up to date...


The narrative for the past 10 years has been 'how to get more money into indigenous communities' and the assumed answer has always been 'Ottawa and the taxpayers need to send more money.'  Where is the incentive for folks to contribute to their own community by working, paying taxes and building businesses to make these communities self-supporting, like each and every non-reserve does?  When a town needs to upgrade its water supply, it isn't protesting in Ottawa and writing angry op-eds, it just raises the local mill rate for the town-dwellers and pays for it.  That is the model the reserves need to be seeking.  Now I know it is naive to see a remote reserve nor even an urban doing that over night - bottom line is the kids need to acquire the job skills by getting educated and experienced in the 'colonial world,' which may not seem politically correct, but it works for all the other ethnic cultures in Canada many of who come here from poverty and much worse.


Does the article mention that this pipeline doesn't go through Sioux land?  That all attempts by the gov to discuss the pipeline were ignored by tribal leaders?  Does it mention that explosive were set off that might have killed government employees or other citizens?  That engineering safety measures insure the pipeline poses no risk to the environment?


Dear G-d, Pan, please leave us alone! And while you're at it, please stop bullying everyone. And kindly desist from playing the vic when you're in fact the cunning perp!


Being totally suspicious of anything related to health insurance companies I am deeply skeptical, but on the face of it this is a terrific move forward towards 'health' care vs sick care.  As we age monitoring health becomes really important (easily done remotely), but can take up way too much time and turn life into a series of doctor visits. Yuk.  And this model leaves more time for primary care doctors to really listen and determine when patients need extra and referral care.  Great news!


Wonderful commentary Mr. Begich, thank you for adding your voice of rational and reasoned thought to this debate. One of my favorite examples of the forces of anti fascism is that of the landing craft at Normandy unloading thousand of Allied soldiers while underneath the caption says, "Group of anti Nazi protesters confronts a large gathering of Nazi sympathizers". The time to confront fascism has long come and gone even as the evil has grown inside the nations heartland. We defeated it before and we will defeat it again. The Nazis in Charlottesville were given a permit for their rally on Saturday but they went off the rails on Friday night with the tiki torch parade so their permit was revoked. Meanwhile the anti fascist/racist/nazi demonstrators were given a permit by city government for a rally in a different part of town on Saturday. That's the one the murderous bas#$@d drove his car into intentionally maiming and killing. The madman who is POTUS equated the two. Horrendous, sad.


No - I’m sure they can’t afford those, right? :)


Nice shot Cap


I recall those stories being in the media when this situation 1st arose. But they seem to have disappeared. They don't support the media's agenda I guess.


Bill

1.  Yes, tradition is not scientific proof of safety or efficacy.  However, this is irrelevant to water fluoridation.  Let’s stay on topic, okay?

2.  According to the 2006 NRC Committee, the only level of dental fluorosis considered to be an adverse effect is severe. Also according to this same committee, severe dental fluorosis does not occur in communities with a water fluoride level below 2.0 ppm.  Water is fluoridated at 0.7 ppm, one third that level.

The only level of dental fluorosis which may be attributable to optimally fluoridated water is mild to very mild, a barely detectable effect which causes no adverse effects on cosmetics, form, function, or health of teeth.  It requires no treatment.  If you are invasively treating mildly fluorosed teeth, your state dental board needs to be immediately notified.

to be continued.......

Ahh, the willfully ignorant, the trump base.


It wasn't designed for the Knik Arm, it was an experimental design that the Navy built and they had no use for it.


No message? That applies to you Doyle. Why else would they drag out someone who "writes" about television, television for heavens sake, to write about a politician? You have nothing to say on either subject worth listening to.


It's one thing to fund healthcare costs for 535 members of Congress, quite another for all 320 million Americans.

Rudy, lets take a look at the funding. Funding for Diplomatic and Consular Services includes security. Funding, by fiscal year is as follows:  FY 2010 - 6.88 billion, FY 2011 - 8.7 billion and FY 2012 - 10.8 billion. These amounts are total appropriations for each of the mentioned fiscal years and are from the State Departments own budget report. So where was the cuts in funding? What I see is an increase of about 2 billion per year for the Diplomatic and Consular Services as reported by the State Department. I sure wish this fairy tale about republicans cutting funding would go away.


Right, because he was black man who became president


Wow Riel, get off the juice.


Ah Prog, humour is lost on you once again. It must be so strange living in the literal world you inhabit when the rest of us live in one of nuance and complexity and subtle variation.

Tell you what though, how about you start by listing what is "primitive" about Islam since that's what started this thread. It certainly wasn't any reference to cemeteries and certainly I never claimed that people having cemeteries isn't normal - I really have no idea how you made that bizarre mental leap.

Then go ahead and define the "we" you are talking about and the "predominant majority". Or is everyone a white anglo-saxon protestant in your view? How do you rationalize that with the Catholics, Jews, and others? Are the English or French? What about Italians, Chinese, Ukrainians, Blacks? Did the Muslims who have been here since Confederation not found and build up this country along with everyone else? What about the Indigenous peoples? Aren't all these groups all  part of the larger "we"?

Hmm?


Waste of time and resources.


On any day stand at the corner of College and University Avenues in Toronto near four major hospitals and you will see the following sight. A man in ordinary clothes is followed a few steps behind by a woman dressed all in black wearing a niqab. She is pushing a baby carriage and looking after one or more other children. The man does not appear to be helping her in any way. The progressives in our society believe that this is great and that the woman dressed all in black with her face covered in a niqab while struggling with children without her husband's help is exercising he freedom.  What do you think?


Quebec has had the black cloud of separation hurting foreign investment (lowest per capita execpt for tiny PEI) and it has way too many provincial and municipal governments employees (almost twice as many govt employees as Ontario despite having about half Ontario's population) which are a very heavy financial burden.  The middle classes up are heavily taxes (the highest in Canada by far and one of the highest tax burdens in the western world) which is one of the major reasons Quebecois have the lowest disponible income in the country... hurting the economy because residents have no money left to purchase or spend on good/ services.  Despite all these very high taxes, the road infrastructure and public transit are adequate at best, in fact the roads are the worst in North America and poor versus even developing countries. What Quebec needs to do is reduce the duplication of services and overly generous social services that it cannot afford... and reduce the number of govt employees!


Goodell's lamification of the NFL rolls on...


The goal of this article seems to be to have a bigger economy, a common aim in many articles.This has resulted in more people in the work force thus more competition for jobs, depressing salaries. Good for business, poor for workers.


When I hear there are lectures on "How to grow rich flipping real estate" it is obvious to me that this section of the tax code needs attention, and it's not foreigners who are doing this but our own home grown Canadian scam artists.


Yeah.. corruption is all in our heads.. Did you know the term "Wet Work" was mentioned in those leaked emails? it's all good. It's an old Chicago term.. never mind.. Let's all keep our heads above the dirty deeds of our leaders. What could possibly go wrong..


You don't need to wear a hair-shirt or see it as a big sacrifice. If everyone simply prioritized their flying for a net reduction we would be fine. If Cuba was important then you could do it but maybe you wouldn't fly to Dallas for a weekend to see a football game. We'd probably all be better off to just say no to destination weddings  anyway.


Creating  a problem  then try to solve it is right out of the Liberal handbook. .
Next on Trudeau's list is to fan the flames of separation between Quebec and the rest of Canada.


The people who "own" the military are globalists that don't care a whole lot about the U.S. Much anymore(check our infrastructure). They use it to shore up corporate hedgeomy on a planetary scale. If you want to salute that be my guest.


In fact, there is a Sterling Alaska. It's on the Kenai River. Google is your friend:)


what does that mean?


Hahahahaha!  Yes, that is so much worse than grabbing pu##%, walking unannounced into teenage girls dressing rooms while they're naked, groping women, defrauding college students out of their hard earned money and so, so much more.  Thanks for the huge belly laugh.


"... unintended consequences" for whom (or what)?  Under the current administration, this has an ominous ring for serious conservationists.  Though that last term, too, raises substantial red flags for the society at large.  Too bad no one's tending the global shop these days.


In order to save our university system there must be an overhaul.  For example in Ontario there are the top-tier universities such as UofT and this is where the general R&D funding should be concentrated.

Then there are the 2nd tier places where they have key specialties that can be enhanced (e.g., UofWaterloo and their STEM programs).

And then there are the others (e.g., Trent, Windsor, WLU, etc.) that should be folded together with their local community colleges to create undergraduate focused polytechnics.

Treating all of these 'universities' as equals is ridiculous and a waste of money and effort.


Would it not be reasonable to ask Joni to drink glyphosate at the minimum amount allowed in water/food as per EPA rules? About 6mg per liter... or about one grain of sugar in a glass of water. I'd drink that, actually.


If only it weren't so serious.


HRC was the most corrupt candidate in decades.  Her candidacy and the behaviour of the Democratic party subsequent to losing so badly, even beyond the executive branch, illustrate their bankruptcy of morality and any ideas that interest the electorate.  Only sycophantic media hysteria over Trump covers this up.


John Evans was not the first territorial governor of Colorado. He was the second. William Gilpin was the first governor of Colorado Territory.

Robert Steele was the first and only governor of the unorganized Territory of Jefferson, which is what the first white settlers called Colorado, from 1859 to 1861, before President Buchanan signed the law creating Colorado Territory.

Also, to say there is a town named Chivington is to not understand Colorado. Take a look at "Chivington, Colo." There's nothing there but a few falling-down abandoned buildings, one house and a few mobile homes on a desolate stretch of Highway 96. It's not even an incorporated place. There's nothing to re-name, and no method of doing that.


Sullivan`s a good Trump soldier.  You lose credibility when you hide from your constituency and questions they would like answered. Sullivan is the best third Senator Ohio ever had, because he sure doesn`t fight for Alaskans. He AVOIDS them along with Young and Murkowski, and the questions about things like health care costs and availability in this state, and the threats to throw tens of thousands of fearful ALASKANS back on the no-health insurance rolls.
Town hall meeting in North Pole my eye... who is this man kidding?  Lies at the top soon trickle down to the congressmen like Sullivan. Don`t forget when Sullivan and Giessel and Parnell tried to take away (HB77?) coastal communities rights concerning development from them when Sullivan was the Alaska Resource commissioner. https://www.adn.com/commentary/article/gov-parnell-do-right-thing-alaskas-salmon-habitat/2013/08/11/


I am assuming the people being shredded on this thread was the Hispanic family in the picture?

I'd protect those kiddos too.


Another example of good reporting in the public interest. Since the local government is inept it it up to the public to stop any unreasonable encroachments.  The public has the power to overcome irresponsible commercialism motivated by greed.


It's not absurd if they agreed to it beforehand, which is what they did.  And that money owners pay is to maintain their property and perform maintenance, which people in single-family homes have to pay also.


Did Charles make that claim?
I think you're manufacturing again.
Show us where he said all that.


Right. The oil plants build themselves, and the oil pumps itself out of the ground.

Albertans are hard working, and that is the reason for their success.

And Ontario's economy is dependent on an inflated housing market. Take that away, and it is a Third World economy with a declining manufacturing industry.


Bishop Trautman is now vindicated.


And yet it seems as if the entire country can't get enough news on where American men who think they are women will urinate.


"In December, 2012, the court ruled that in some cases, witnesses can wear a niqab while testifying, leaving it to trial judges to decide in individual cases. The following year, Justice Norris Weisman of the Ontario Court of Justice gave priority to the potential negative consequences for the accused if she didn’t bare her face.

“On a broader societal level, should the niqab impede effective cross-examination of the complainant by the accused’s counsel, they will not be able to assess the witness’s demeanour and tailor the thrust and direction of their questions accordingly,” Judge Weisman noted in his ruling. “Wrongful convictions could ensue with resulting loss of public confidence in the justice system.”

They skim very little off of me.  No monthly account fees, I don't continually churn my investments and I avoid managed investment products so my overall trading cost is less than 0.03%.

Basically the dividend just from a single quarter from my RY bank shares more than covers my cumulative fees for the year.

Not to mention the cash back on my bank branded credit cards returns hundreds of dollars, even after the small fee I pay for premium cash back.


“The president is being very careful to understand "....what?   he is inept, has no attention span and is a narcissistic buffoon.


Francis does support the Catholic faith, Ken ... just not your misguided interpretation of it.


Teddy Roosevelt once finished a speech even after he had been shot in the chest.

Mondo bizarro !


Nonsense.There have been may wars since WWII, all were conventional.


When you're telling your kids to go work for the government because of the compensation and job security, that pretty much sums up why innovation and the private sector is in trouble in Canada.  It wasn't always the case so we got the best out of our people and economy.

No one needs these guns!  They just look like pointing phalluses and of course all these awful men don't want their pointing phalluses taken from them.  If they could make non-phallic guns and call them something like "vaguns" that would be so much less triggering for me.


There are risk-mitigating business reasons for most of these insurance policies owned by corporations.  For instance, the funds may allow business partners to buy the shares from the family of a deceased partner without major disruption to the on-going business.

This is just one example.  We'd better be careful before create more problematic unintended consequences.


" Brons decided to open a brick-and-mortar store in Anchorage in January 2015." Great to hear. All gun lovers, gun sellers, gun storage and all else gun related should be housed exclusively in brick and mortar throughout the "Pacific rim of fire" (sic) . :-)

So for the CPC it is not what is the right thing to do for the country, but rather what will get them elected.
- Climate change may or may not be real, but what position gets us elected.
- Accepting refugees  may or may not be a problem, but what position gets us elected.
- Tougher sentences may or may not work, but what position will get us elected.
- The list goes on...
Sorry boys and girls, but I expect a lot better than this.


7  Billion to fund insurance for 6 million??
What the hell are the administrative costs?

This iis ridiculous.


The Chimp's back.  We've missed you, buddy.


As reported by CNN, the New York Police Department’s Counterterrorism chief has evidence that the many threatening phone calls to Jewish community centers originate from a single individual located overseas.

One extra-territorial person using spoofing technology does not a rise in U.S. anti-Jewish sentiment make. OTOH, NYPD’s evidence is not inconsistent with the thesis that this rash of threat calls is foreign, state-sponsored terrorism. Stahl, Sr., asks “Which state?” and suggests Israel has the means, motive, and opportunity.

The community center threats have been reported since late January, after Trump’s inauguration. I can’t think of a more existential threat to Israel than an isolationist, nationalist, America-First President who wants to cut foreign aid. Sprinkle in some spicy speculation that Trump is a Russian tool, and Israel may think it faces the perfect political shit storm. Drastic times would require drastic, but hardly unprecedented for the Mossad, measures.


Shoulda gone down with the ship.


I would hold that Noonan's contributions on contraception will be his legacy, but perhaps overshadowed because readers will focus on the controversy and not on his underlying philosophical logic. To me Fr. Curran's "Noonan...notes that the process of change requires a complex constellation of forces. There is no readily available grid for determining how change occurs." exemplifies this...Noonan's 2005 book "A Church That Can and Cannot Change: The Development of Catholic Moral Teaching" is Noonan's great work on church historical teaching on slavery and usury. After reading this, I went back to re-read Noonan's writings on contraception and found a greater context for them.


There's no icon for "you write like you're stoned" and he felt like he had to click something. I appreciate the challenge of trying to figure out what he's talking about, it's sort of like a crossword puzzle, so maybe later I'll like it. Or maybe not. The best I can gather is that he wants to give the airport land to homeless people.


But these are the guys doing the heavy lifting in keeping sex offenders in check in prison. Surely, Republicans can see that they need white supremacists. I mean, the cops can't keep blacks down all on their own. No, they need to partner up with like-minded folks.


Oh my, maybe we should be concerned. What were you training for, and what nasty plans do you know of? Are people from Oklahoma and West Virginia among the evil, or is it just Alabama and Mississippi? Are any black residents in on it? How about the Cubans and snowbirds in Florida?


They may in fact receive funding from the government.  But it also seems like they do a better job of spending the money.  I wish our gov't could figure out how to get 5% of their needs from us taxpayers and the rest from someplace else.


It is pretty impressive when any government can reduce their debt & improve their credit rating.

Maybe the state of Oregon should take some lessons from Lane County!

Good job commissioners!


It's for sure that trawling doesn't help.  It's all man made in the end.  Humans are stupid.


"Regardless of the law, I personally feel" seems to be a major theme of a lot of people against the judge on this case.


Many high tech professionals left the UK to work in Canada during that era- had a few in my group. Sharp cookies and a loss to the UK. After that the UK never recovered  ..... became a third rate STEM industry player.


Not surprisingly, you didn't understand the interplay between the comment to which I replied and my reply. No one talking specifically about being in the country illegally. Instead, the commenter said that if an illegal alien commits victimizes someone, the people (city of Denver) who provided him sanctuary (by making certain actions legal or illegal) will have blood on their hands.

Again, no one is comparing alcohol to illegal immigrants. You must be part of the Trump tribe.


I didn't know there are so many Drug users on the school board. That is the only thing I can come up with to explain just where these elected fools think we are going to come up with the money for their fantasy.
Wake up 4j voters or soon we will have fancy new monuments to one of the lowest graduation rates in the country.


was that JT's intention when he asked about root causes of terrorism?


But it's not just warming, which of course chilly Canadians and half-frozen Russians would probably enjoy in itself.  Warming causes drought,  and the widening of disease vectors. Wild fires become more common and the fire season expands. Paradoxically, when rain does come in a warmer world, it all comes at once, and flooding is not particularly conducive to agriculture . . . or human habitation for that matter.

Also, bugs love heat, including agricultural and arboreal pests. There are thousands of acres of dead forest in BC, for instance, because winters there are no longer cold enough and long enough to kill off  pine bark beetle infestations. Eventually, those forests will burn, expelling more GHG into the atmosphere.

Finally, a lot of the Canadian and Russian land that would supposedly become arable in a warmer climate consists of thin, rocky, impoverished subarctic soils, that, simply put, are never going to be farmland, at least not on a human timescale.


Peter Steinfels speaks to the hazard of one-line thinking, reviewing "The Fractured Republic: Renewing America's Social Contract in the Age of Individualism" COMMONWEAL, pp. 29-32, 10/21/2016
"Polytheism and monotheism both propose their logic which both derive from real-life experience in nature...
"the commanding heights of the culture are no more controlled by the cultural Left than by the Right. The culture will continue to be a terrain of sometimes overlapping, sometimes contending moral minorities, a landscape not of a simple culture war but of multiple subcultures and subculture wars".
Every person is born with an original version of history imprinted in her/ his DNA, which is deep-down responsive to individual experience. Learning happens in individual experience; newness of experience imprints in individual and collective consciousness. In a sense, we are individually a subculture to one another.


The only radicals are those that have taken the authority of The Almighty to end life!


I would also like to point out that the huge increase in traffic from almost 100 new households driving on SE 18th Street (formerly a quiet cul-de-sac) and the barely-legal storm water pipe (with inadequate capacity for a changing climate) were also contentious issues. The City of Renton had the power under the state environmental policy act (SEPA) to require mitigation, and I believe that it failed to do so.

Being involved in this process shook my faith in city government. I watched wealthy special interests use an army of unscrupulous lawyers, paid consultants, and the Renton School District itself (who used your tax dollars to suppress site studies and to sue citizens who spoke against the project) to twist the law into allowing them to make obscene profits while externalizing their costs onto the local community and onto the environment.


Well, the IRS does have a law enforcement division.

In my dictionary fair means equal. Equitable is what the money changers say to cheat you.Sure just try giving some child less ice cream because they are smaller or shorter and see what happens.


"Please let us know which translation service you use Lazee. I want to avoid that one.

No need.

When translations are above your pay grade or doesn't fit your narrative it would be an act of futility on your part, avoidance or not.


Carl, those figures are incorrect. All the most recent data shows that global warming, if anything, is happening faster than first predicted.


A tragic loss. Eighty eight is - well - odds are that one shouldn't be driving.

I don't think I need to tell you that living your faith is a willful decision. On Sunday morning when my body, and what I feel, is telling me to sleep in. My decision is to get up anyway and go to Mass. Or when we volunteer at the church food pantry on a Sunday afternoon, instead of watching my football team...(Bufalo Bills, bad example). You know what I mean.


Yeah true i am seeing Zuma winning the elections


Currie writes: “The update noted that over the past year, the Canadian economy grew by 3.7 per cent, which led the G7 by a considerable margin. He is referring to the annual real GDP growth rate for 2017Q2, when US growth was only 2.2%. However, a lot of people might think he was referring to the annual growth rate for calendar year 2016, the first full calendar year the Trudeau government was in power. In 2016, the growth rate was only 1.4%, which was only the fourth highest growth rate of any G7 country, behind Germany (1.9%), the UK (1.8%) and the US (1.6%).

Q:  Twenty years from now what will you call the nerd you were in school with?
A:  Boss

Fact is, the word "nerd" came to mean cool when people realized that wasn't a joke.


Let's hope some of those 40 or so witnesses come forward with some info and also learned a hard lesson because of this tragic, unnecessary death.


Of course it is not going to stop the black market when it is taxed to the extreme. That's exactly what closed minded folks like yourself  and some our stick-their-head-in the sand Legislators wanted. Over tax it and destroy it. You guys hate taxes for yourselves (and rail against it constantly) but it's okay for those that you disagree. Sorta like Chikoots motto.


James what specific amount of air pollution on the front range comes from fracking? Sounds like you did the research please post the results. Not all pollution is brown. What color was the natural gas that leaked into the home north of Denver and killed two hot water heater installers?


The DP features endless trump bashing stories.  When one of their own goes and targets republican congress people, they completely bury the story is less than 24 hours.  Think back to all the nonsense the DP has carried for days and weeks.  Today the DP features a story about a rock falling off a mountain.  Political assassination attempts get ignored because a sympathetic person (in the DP's eyes) carried out the attack.  I am ashamed of this "news" paper


You realize that restricted use pesticides can have the same active ingredients as general use insecticides, right?  Also, the Bill specifically points out what the definition of an insecticide is... and the definition is wrong based on federal law! The bill is extremely poor, and it's silly that it made it this far.

Look up 'Talstar' (active ingredient bifenthrin and cypermethrin) on the State website - similar products registered both ways. Or look up 'imidacloprid' specifically pointed to as 'restricted' insecticide in the bill, yet you don't need a restricted use license to purchase it.

Finally - the bill states any PERSON or Agricultural entity, with some random notion of 10lbs or 10 gallons as the reporting guideline for insecticides. This amount has no relevant meaning related to safety. It's factless.

The RG should always publish letters from all sides, even from people who hold views completely invalidated by history and human nature.  It's called "know thine enemy".

Outsider77 is right.  No nation has the right to interfere in the internal affairs of another no matter how altruistic the justifications officially given by the nation interfering or how horrid the conditions within the nation being interfered with.  The excuses are usually lies as a little follow the money research often shows.

That I hold this view does not mean that I approve of murderous, thieving dictators.  It's why I oppose corporate oligarchy in America, for example, and right-wing Christian theocracy.

Having interfered in Syria and the Middle East in general which has prolonged and intensified the brutality Western nations including the U.S. are obligated to take in the refugees from those conflicts even if we risk importing terrorists.  The lesson of non-interference must be learned the hard way.


Yes Tom I know it was the scientists paid by the tobacco companies that helped us understand how to bring the lung cancer epidemic under control.  Once again Tom did you watch a lot of Archie Bunker or play to many contact sports?


It strikes me that there is nothing in this article representing the point of view of people in the park or those who are knowledgeable about what has gone on there, some of whom have posted here and could be contacted by the RG. No, not me, but others who have actually spent time there and talked to the people, who I understand are mostly homeless, who hang out there.

Regardless of who is "right" about what happened, when something as controversial as this happens, it seems like the RG should be obligated to get more than one side of the story. Very lazy, one-sided reporting. The RG has shed no light on the situation downtown, why there is conflict, or what needs to be done about it. This is typical of the mainstream news media, and it's why a lot of people are abandoning it in favor of other websites and social media such as Facebook.


you need to update your so called 'facts' and research. the only group of 'criminals' who recommit less than 'sex offenders' are murders.


Who is fearing?


I quite respect the people's attitude toward others monetizing the whales.  I think that attitude should be extended beyond medicine and other advances that could arise from knowledge of the whale to include ALL medicines and medical care - should never be a for-profit endeavor.
Also, if we're going to continue extending the human lift span then we jolly well better get Much busier reducing our birth rate to match.


Funny that you keep posting about McCarthy these days.


Not really.
What the new is all about is that US companies are not outsourcing 15,000 but that the DHS is offering 15,000 H-1B.
-
On April 17, 2017, Trump issued an Executive Order to revise the H-1B program to HIRE AMERICAN FIRST (this EO stops companies from outsourcing when Americans are available for the jobs that foreigners are to fill up)


Did I hear that a panel of 9th circuit court judges over turned judge Watson and DA Ching for their ridiculous TRO.


"Plan" being the operative word.  Will it really go all the way downtown or make a "scenic" detour up to capitol hill, like the north/south route?  Yeah, if it gets built...and if it does, I hope a big storm doesn't make all that technology and award winning planning sink, or float off,  as has happened in some past storms on Lake  Washington  and over Hood Canal


My son started working as a web developer the same month he wrote his final
C Sc and History (double major) exams in 2008. He had scholarships and co-op work terms, including one that got 2007 NSERC funding because of his high marks. Graduated with k$3 in the bank from co-op income. Most local Engineering Co-op students graduate with a standing job offer but some choose not to take it, opting for other work positions. That includes Computer Engineering, C Sc and "Software Engineering". I don't personally object to that term, but some Engineers do.


Wonder what Kathy Griffin will be doing on New Year's Eve, 2023?


I am as familiar with it as Jesus was. In other words, it does not come from Jesus. But I have read the dogma.
Jesus said he came to the House of Judea. But when pressed, his compassion surfaced and he showed God's love is not limited to Jews but all, even Catholics like you and me. :>)


Exactly and sometimes the "average Joe" who get's pulled over for driving bad .... just might have a warrant.    Or a backseat of stolen items he just took from a store he was speeding away from   And/or another "average Joe's" purse or camera they left in their car.


What!?!? Are you a Viking?


Many  Buddhists are prolife presumptively but reserve judgment on particular cases. They certainly have compassion for "babies that can breathe." Most of the prolife Christians I have met are the same. And many of these people work hard to lower the number of unwanted pregnancies, to support adoptions, and to defend the dignity and safety of children.

"There are many reasons that Mr. Trump should be removed from power – violation of the emoluments clause, suspected collusion with a hostile state – but his ability to destabilize the world in 140-character increments ranks high."

Wow- where to start.This lady is no journalist. I'll bet she even writes with her left hand she detests the right so much.

Not a Trump supporter, but this writer has no limit to her histrionics. Every article she writes is so full of vitriol that it lacks any sense of objectivity. That's why it is an "opinion piece". So accepting that, if this is her best piece of logic as to why Trump should be removed from office ( her central thesis in every article since November) then somebody should take the pen gently from her hand and hand her a valium. Her logic, which is stunning only for the utter lack of it, and for the Globe to continue to publish her weekly tantrums and give credence to the detritus she spews is sad.


The reason for removing Bracco and Osborne is their demonstrated contempt for female students and students with certain medical conditions. At least one of their former students had to switch schools due to the failure of these two "administrators" to do what is a clearly defined duty of their job: protect students from harassment. Not only did they FAIL to do this, causing at least one to have to switch schools, but these to low-lifes actually PARTICIPATED in the harassment. People who think it is ethical to make up grotesque stories about their students as some form of sick joke cannot be expected to have the necessary basic ethics to protect students' interests by maintaining a bias-free atmosphere in the school over which they supervise.
Bracco and Osborne are incompetent, defective people and do not even remotely meet the standard of ethics required for the position of school administrator. Bracco and Osborne don't belong anywhere near children or schools.


Even the golfing is deliberate.  In contrast, Kim Jong Un is in hiding.  He fears a cruise missile strike.   Allies are being recruited by both sides.


Thanks for your service to a group that is overrepresented in prison and underrepresented in the Justice system.


The democrats. Always looking out for the Party.


The Jehovah's Witnesses have always refuse to stand for the flag; anthem or pledge. They consider it to be making a religious idol. It seems to me that for any other religion that they have a good point. The flag is not supposed to be a religious idol for worship where not paying homage is treated as a heresy. Why would CCU support creating a religious idol?


The good people at crisis pregnancy centers and the support organizations for young mothers and their children certainly do.


Impressive hyperbole DP!

Black gun owners have to follow the same laws regarding gun ownership as every other color of person.  Namely, you cannot carry while high on pot, and you cannot reach for your firearm when instructed not to do so by an LEO.
