They aren't "public safety officers" any more. They're sworn police officers. They're just not allowed to have a gun on their body due to laws regarding campuses.

One of my friends is one and said students are shocked when they get combative and then find themselves in handcuffs.


Of course they do but I they also know coming in 8th out of the 11 richest countries is not exactly something to emulate. In Canada's case you obviously DO get what you pay for.

You are so right, Kidding!  There is more than enough blame for everyone regarding this mess.
Our state leaders (current and many past) and, yes, voters and citizens are all responsible.  The State has gone from the highest credit rating to almost the lowest (only Illinois and New Jersey are lower).  And yet, the legislature continues to do almost nothing, and even Governor Walker doesn't seem too bothered by this.
I wish there was some way to kick every one of the current legislators out and start over with some who can work things out diplomatically, reasonably, and effectively--you know: like statesmen.  Sickening!!


A decision made in a last ditch effort to save the premier's political career.  A decision made for the sake of political opportunism to secure a vote deserting her en masse. She is trying to project that she represents the interests of all the GTHA and not just the city of Toronto.  The problem she cannot shake is that she has succeeded in being untrustworthy and unpredictable- the hallmarks of unstable governance.

She made the only decision that could be made which is to stop penalizing the nation's economy by grifting employer and employee,  interfering in the making of product and getting product to market, creating further gridlock, and treating Toronto as if it was a bedroom community. This is what drives jobs out of the country.


had to bring color into it.  otherwise its only an opinion..? I feel like most the people on your short list are .......older white men.  you need some more thought put into this one.


The Juneau crew will be putting it under DOT before its over. That way the State coffers will fund maintenance.


What is most disappointing and depressing, but not really surprising, about the US ban is its stunning partiality. Of the 19 attackers during 9-11, 15 came from Saudi Arabia, and one from Egypt. The female half of the couple that attacked in San Bernadino came from Pakistan. These are documented, identified assassins from Muslim majority countries that are NOT included in the ban. Bannon, Flynn, Conway and Trump are almost bracingly stupid and mendacious.. the problem will be where they find themselves out of depth with  much more formidable adversaries..


IMO the only loser in this entire episode was Kai'ele.   He was just a dog doing what most dogs do after just being released from being crated on an aircraft.  Imagine being crated and put in  an aircraft cargo hold for a trip across the across the ocean.  I would be agitated and a little stressed too.  My condolences go to the dog, not the owners or the security guy.


If the US Bishops are ppaying little attention to "The Joy of Love", that might be proportionate to the attention people are paying to the US Bisops.


Dear ADN commenters and opinion scribblers.
Please scroll down and read David Leavitt's comments on the powerful impact boarding schools have delivered upon our Aboriginal Brethren suffering pre-oil Alaska's mediocre (or non-existent) village education system. I don't know this man but he speaks way over my non-native head.
Growing up in Andersen, I never supported nor understood sending Native children outside or across state. But the BIA Indian Boarding Schools sound like they saved thousands of lives from his descriptions of "Siberian archetypical" cultural poverty and unimaginable rural Alaska horror.
Mr. Leavitt is truly our brother from a darker mother. He is a hammer amongst us blatantly white and puny literary nails. I've followed his writing and really believe his "words are of iron" (Clint Eastwood).
My hat is off you and I now follow these amusing and sometimes absurd comments here at the Alaska Dispatch and Mud Flap News.
You just keep writing, I'll continue reading.


What's racist? That makes no sense.

My point was that instead of drawing attention to their issue it has turned into a debate on whether people should protest during a very specific time period ie, the anthem. So whats truly important has been lost in all of this.


And here I thought that I was peerless. Oh well.
.
You really need to read the comments before responding, also the "uncivil" notices. In numerous instances on this thread your retorts have been removed, not mine or anyones else's.  Remind us again about the definition of projection.


ok, we are ready to hear your solutions to balance the states' financial woes.
so instead of offering caustic criticism to other responses let us here how you would solve our problems.
please be specific.......


The definition of a Social Justice Warrior: an insanely angry person who is a hammer looking for a nail.


No, Liberals = NDP.  Justin is the new leader of the Left and the NDP is highlighted for extinction if he does push through the "ranked ballot".


rangerMC,  you dont even make sense anymore. when will you thumpers realize that lgbtq's,  blacks, muslims, mexicans, asians, the poor, the homeless, aliens, extraterrestrial and earth bound, all have the same, inalienable rights as you, white, christian males do (in a just world of course), the right of personal choice. no one says a straight guy cant marry a straight woman. we just dont care because it is none of our business. its not about your beliefs or your ideology, its about equality and a persons right to choose. your comment on transgenders in elementary school bathrooms is just too stupid to deserve an answer.


'Lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine"  Women used to say that. Now men have  to, to avoid jail time.


This guy used to be one of my neighbors. Im glad I moved.


While the rest of the world is seeing a rise in shark attacks, Schatz throws blood in the water.  What an idiot!


Good post, Michael.


Airbus deal is for 1 plane, the rest of the planes, trains, streetcar and other things Bombardier makes get no change.


Obviously no, that's nothing to do with what he said.


I feel like this ended too soon, Charles! It doesn't instill any more faith I have in the system than I do now. I'm holding out like that last blade of green grass in a massive lawn of disappointments in American governance. Bernie Sanders is that tiny glance of green before smoldering ruins cloud my remaining vision of my state and country. Damn you, Charles! You didn't finish this one.


Who? 😁


go read what's he's having problems with. if you're a parent,  and you have a whiny child that is on your last nerve?  donald's behaving like that child .  and why would anyone expect anything different? that would be the definition of insanity... he's a spoiled pouty brat bully. has been , is  and  will be


In motocross there's a guy they call the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time), Ricky Carmichael.  He's the winningest motocross racer in history.  By appearances and talent, he definitely wasn't the "best".  Every year many would be talking about how some new guy was going to unseat Carmichael.  But, Carmichael would just continue winning.  A sports reporter said many said he was lucky.  His response was, "You make your own luck."

Last night, the Broncos made their own "luck".


Neither one is a CPA.


Neither do the players. Hands up don't shoot.


Margaret Atwood uses social media to her advantage.  Today she learns it is a sword that can cut both ways.  Boo-hoo.


This is disgusting stuff. Trump is causing an existential crisis for billions of people.  That crisis is of no interest for the stock market crowd.  The only question for them is whether there is a buck in it.  Healing drugs,  hanging rope, or crematoriums. It's all just investment opportunities.


Except, it IS the answer for the people who want to burn coal, baby, burn coal.
It IS the answer for people who want to pretend humans have no effect on the planet on a mass scale.


The liturgy is for man, not for God. Even the worship of the angels is refrigerator art compared to the awesomeness of the Trinity.


'doctors and nurses ...are quite as cable to judge and apply ethical reasoning as anyone else'
Sprietsma, you are probably right, but the difference is that doctors are the gatekeepers to prescription contraception.  And I can tell you from personal experience that the vast majority of doctors (I am one) and nurses (I dated several, and married one) simply don’t have the aptitude or the intellectual grounding to deal with this issue.

Most doctors are like everyone else—they absorb their sense of morality from the prevailing culture.  When the culture is decadent, and modern western culture is decadent, those are the ethics they conform to.

'As to application of ethics to the ethics of their own profession, probably they are more competent than those who know little about medical matters.'
Again, contraception is not medicine.


Lespark someone needs to knock you off your pedestal.  Maybe we are not all achievers like you, but faux you!


Really? Give it 2 minutes then back to scheduled programming


I love the way you adopt all the old Liberal talking points about Harper. Jim Stamford would be proud of you


Maybe.  He claims to be able to cut spending in some areas, but is talking about large investments in health care, education, and infrastructure.  He also wants to give young people a "culture pass" of close to a thousand dollars so they can attend the theatre and concerts.  He has no plans to thwart immigration, and has stated that no religion is a problem for France (admittedly, this isn't economic, but it's a far cry from the far right, and distances himself from Trump as well).

On the other hand, he is upping military spending, hiring more cops, and creating more prison beds, all generally hallmarks of the right.

Guess time will tell.


Yes of course there are guarantees in the charter which are meant to apply to third world regimes/dictatorships of which the US is not one.  I thought Canada had a list of countries that were supposedly "safe" where one could not claim the above to try and game the system into getting into Canada.  The law needs to be enforced here and these people sent back to the US right away otherwise what is the purpose of rules if you can just cheat to get around them?


If you are a woman and you can't envision a woman in a particular role , then you won't vote for a woman in that role. Germany and America are two completely different cultures. Think cheerleaders vs a country that really gets hate speech. I love Ms Merkel but she wouldn't even get on the ballot in the US. I am an MD, I have dealt with sexual harassment, I have been groped on a Toronto street and I have encountered more misogynistic doctors than I care to enumerate. Many of my wonderful patients have dealt with far worse.  Yes Margaret, there really is a different life experience for men and women. Secretary Clinton was hit with wave after wave of extrinsic forces that were far outside outside the normal electoral process. James Comey's behaviour was appalling. He berated Clinton on and on and then said we are not charging her with anything.Who gets to do that? Which man would get treated like that? Not Trump. He was only being investigated for collusion with the enemy. No big deal.


The last race was a 3 horse race.  70% of the vote was against Ford.  If it is a two horse race the result will be the same.  I know who I am voting for


We "shouldn't" need $54M and a year and a half to figure it out. Trudeau I and Chretien had the solution mapped out ~50 years ago. But there is the entire $10B+/annum Indian Industry at stake here (bent band "leaders"; politicians; lawyers; consultants), so expect the FN's best interests to be again sacrificed indefinitely to preserve the staus quo.


Alaskans pretend to be conservatives but this PFD welfare program proves we're all closet socialist.


Greetings.....this is a great assessment of not only what schism is about, but also how priestly and  single/divorced couple discernment is essential for true contrition .........thus the  renewal of the Eucharist into their lives!  So IMHO......the Gang of Four cardinals should remember that like past Pope's Holy Father Francis is the Vicar of Christ, and they should be respectfull of that fact


LOL thinking apple is the future. Apple is great for easy to use products but terrible if you actually want to try and do your own thing.


Poog has lived in Ottawa so long that the poor fellow thinks health care is a federal responsibility.

Talk about unintended consequences!
I don't think " they " understand the effect of the proposed  tax change.


"It would appear" that you know very little about information security. Private industry is victimized by malware on an everyday basis. Being infected by some variant of a virus that has been around for a while does not automatically mean the organization was negligent or that its employees were inferior.  That could be the case, but there certainly isn't enough information in this article to conclude that it is.


No discussion of environmental issues at all.  3 Republican traitors grinning and picking over the massive wealth still to be generated from every corner of the state leading to total degradation of all sustainable, renewable resources.  Bye Bye Fisheries.


Of course it would.....why?  Because the morality expressed by the international community is inconsistent with the contract that has been signed by god/jesus/insert whatever other deity.


"This reaction is unfortunately the only way to snuff out this terrible movement."

Yeah? How did those street riots work out at snuffing out the Nazis in Germany? It only made them more popular. Stop feeding the trolls should apply here too.


It would be nice to see a transgendered black Latina beat Trump in 2020.


If you liked Rick Mercer's programme, you liked it. If you didn't, you didn't.
End of story. I'm just sick of everything being picked to death.


Wonder how much more are using a "Canadian" front buyer but are in fact foreign buyers?


LMBO!!!! Might could be at least partly why she is an "Ex Mother In-Law"??!!


throwing money at it is not the solution, it is an inefficient industry, governed by their own bodies etc.


No please no.
Do not import anything of Donald Trump.
Nothing, zero, zilch.

I thought that you were talking about other bells.
Reality check -- most of the time, the Divine Liturgy is celebrated by one priest, with maybe one or two altar boys.  Few parishes have deacons. Altar boys can be scarce, as well.  It all depends on the parish.
Re a procession around the nave -- I am not sure what you are talking about.  The Small Entrance is a procession with the gospel around the altar, out of the side door and back into the main door of the iconostasis.  The Great Entrance is from the table of the proskomydyya, out the side door and back through the main door of the iconostasis.  There is no procession around the nave of the church during the Liturgy.
I think that, at least in the Ukrainian Church, there might have been many more changes, had not the Ukrainian Church been in preservation mode, because of its banning by the Soviets.  But that's another conversation....


The OIA''s Championship playoffs are brutal. Total of 4 games to the ship, one week off, then States. Last year you had teams forfeiting a game just to recover. Play teams like Kahuku and Waianae at the end of the season and your injuries go up. So yeah, a lot of OIA teams are depleted. Let me say that Lahainaluna  and Kapaa did not belong in last year's D2 championships.


She left her car unlocked?


Actually the article looks childish and desperate.  Interactions with animals can cause injury and disease.  Anyone should know that, it's not worthy of an article promoting destruction of the species.  The old argument that one shark bites a person so we need to eradicate them is speciest, uneducated drivel.  Promoting it in a major publication is worse.  ALL invasive species are the result of one primary invasive species that transports them and introduces them into foreign environments.   Animals living in the wild are only doing what they should, and exactly what people also do - find a place to live, try to survive, and want to be left alone to exist and raise their families.  It's interesting that the very people that proclaim this as their own right are the same ones that want to deny it to others.  Now if you want to write an article about controlling the primary invasive species, that would be worth reading.


In Boulder? I highly doubt it.


Another diagnoses from a progressive socialist. You have no idea who Mike Pence is or what he stands for, or how he "feels" when he defends Trump. I admire him for defending an imperfect leader, because he has honor and dignity and a sense of loyalty that is sorely lacking in today'society. And BTW: Bernie would not have won, he is a KOOK.


The guy is making a fool of himself every single day so, quite frankly, it's not inappropriate for anyone to call him out on it. Once he starts acting like a decent human being making funny comments will surely stop. Although, I'm afraid there's no hope he will see that light. At 70 years and having been a bully all his life, too late now.


Well, it's nice he has an opinion on something.


That is as plain as I can write. I was making an observation -- "(seriously)"
Do you disagree with my observation. Do you have an observation of your own that you would like to share with all of us.
Let me just say again what I said before -- Trump ends up with better looking women than Bubba.
Do you have a point (seriously)?


If JZ will survive the ballot, secret or not, why is the secret ballot resisted so vehemently by the ANC leadership? After all, if it fails to remove Zuma, then the ANC can claim Unity and that everything is cool, and there should be no split, and the looting can continue unabated.


He means Bombardier employs middle class and upper class tax payers.  Should they close shop, Canada would take a serious hit to our tax revenue.  The ownership may suck, but they provide the types of jobs Canadians need.  Kinda like the oil industry.


If you want to learn the true legacy of Christianity, read "A History of Pagan Europe" by Jones & Pennick. This includes Halloween, Christmas & Easter, with all of the strange things that are included into "true believing" church services, all in the name of Christianity. None of which are going to be tolerated by a Second Coming Jesus...


Keep the judges, impeach the President.
Impeach President Trump.  Wow, that has a nice ring to it, and it feels so natural to say it and hear it.


Yes, we had the # of days of remission set out too; but the holy sisters never ceased to remind us the 117 days or so from a measly "Confiteor," were not even a drop in the bucket considering the hundreds of thousands of years we were going to spend there.


So standing up to a tyrannical minority is bullying? I'm just aghast at your attitude! That's like calling a parent a bully who says 'no' to a temper tantrum. We gave hope and change 8 years, now it's time to try undo the unprecedented damage that was done to our national debt, our economy and our social fabric. Grownups needn't feel shame.


One way for her to get an answer would be 'I'm leaving'.
She should also ask about the total cost - rather than just what her advisor is getting (as revealed under CRM2).  If she got that number I suspect she'd puke.


Non disclosure agreements are common.  I am all for removing it so long as ALL non disclosure agreements in ALL walks of life are also voided. As for truth and integrity, let’s have Trump produce his tax returns,eh?

You confuse an individual with CNN.  An individual, who is a paid political pundit gave information, but CNN. Honesty and integrity would be a good starting point, so try making real valid factual arguments. Pretty please? You know who else claimed fake news whenever anything else was bad?  Who else essentially delegitimized the media to rise to power?  Yeah you know who, another German just like Trump.  Your acceptance of his claims as facts despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary is sad.

When a website contains obviously partisan articles, or an article begins with an outright falsehood (to name 2 of snarky’s Links) they become unreliable. Sorry, but reporting facts you don’t like don’t make fake news.  Claiming opinion pieces are factual news is simply stupid.


You (probably intentionally) left the "way up" out.  Small increases only have minimal effect when the minimum wage is well below what the vast majority of jobs are already paying.


While on line forum posting allows some venting, to truly make a difference lets all contact our city council reps to protest these tax and fee increases.  There should be thorough vetting of the City's budget priorities, and a challenge to Caldwell to run the city more efficiently and to do more for less.   Caldwell has a lot of selling to do in light of how he has mis-managed the City. The failing Rail project being his legacy.  Also trash pick up between SFH and Condos are not a so called equity issue...if our city was run efficiently our taxes should pay for both.


Stop making sense; you're interfering with the misogyny narrative!


While I would agree with you on some of this, the solution isn't more medical schools. The # of medical student spots has actually grown a LOT in the last decade, but we see the squeeze in residency spots. The government has a cap on the # of residency positions and that # hasn't changed in almost 30 years!!! For the first time in history, there will be MORE graduating physicians than residency position available in 2019. This doesn't even take into consideration the internatiponal medical graduates (many of whom are American citizens) who are unable to match innto a residency and therefore are unable to practice medicine. If we want more physicians (and we DO NEED more physicians), then congress needs to expand the allowable # of residency positions!


Washington Post fact checker gave "Three Pinocchios" to Senator Cassidy's rebuttal to Kimmel — he flatly claimed that “more people will have coverage…. There are more people who will be covered through this bill than under the status quo."


Those who find the settlement amount on the low side need to note two things.
1.  It's a settlement. Court cases are seldom perfectly clear. There's risk and cost in going to trial.
2. Non-pecuniary damages in Canada tend to be modest compared to those seen in the U.S. The 1978 Supreme Court of Canada decision in Andrews v. Grand & Toy Alberta  effectively imposed an upper limit of $100,000 for non-pecuniary damages for a severe case (young adult quadriplegic), to which other injuries are compared. Adjusted for inflation, that's about $360,000 today. The class action might cover people with different ranges of injury including less severe ones.


So the good doctor was right about the effects of a depressed person's having a gun , especially since this is the #1 cause of suicide deaths.  And, as we are also seeing, lots of depressed persons seem hell-bent on taking others with them.


Bellevue has so many expensive projects underway.  How to pay for it?  The Livability update for one.  I huge transfer of value from residents to developers with the city taking their cut, and they are calling it a Livability update, hah.

He has done many selfies and compensated and apologised to a convicted terrorist, not bad for the first 2 years in office.


So many predictions Jeane Dixon, so, so many predictions.


He stated in the article that his statement would have no effect but he took this position so he could look himself in the mirror. I think people with an audience need to speak up and that's his and he Globe's point.


STO,
Yeah?   Seems to be the norm here.  Like serving 'nothing burgers' and  calling it real journalism.  That's what the alt-left at CNN does 24/7. Once upon a time CNN did have the corner on the news and most networks scrambled to get a story that they'd been on  and already left. But that was many, many years ago. Competition got to them, beat them  and then re-shuffling their deck lost them some very good people like Lou Dobbs and Greta Van Susteren.
Now they are a mere shadow of what they were and their credibility will take years of 'sober' and responsible  reporting to get back 1/2 of what they lost.  Hoping for a war or a disaster to pull them out of a serious ratings slump is not a good example of  journalistic professionalism.


This is infuriating, similar to Sen.Lesil McGuire's trip to Germany during last year's special session. It is beyond ridiculous!
HB44 to put some teeth into the Legislature's ETHICS RULES is stalled in the Senate until next January.  Let us all push to see it passed & demand ethical action by all our Legislators.
What we have now is arrogant, adolescent behavior - certainly NOT action that benefits the citizens of Alaska.


It will be his mistake.


Denver raised lots of revenue illegally by ticketing drivers that had NOT violated the law as was proven in several news stories.


Well its America, so we always have to blame someone...


But wait, Vladimir Putin says that Russian prostitutes are the best in the world. He has video testimonials from a world leader waxing eloquent regarding skills of the Golden Girls.
.
Please don't shower on their parade.


Not for everyone, and certainly not always for the poor or for people who feel the need for one away from home or their businesses (if they happen to own them).  And certainly not for people who have just had a TRO imposed upon a violent spouse and who feel the need for a defensive firearm RIGHT NOW without the - sometimes purely administrative or bureaucratic - delays of waiting periods or background checks.  Those folks.


Eric the Blue? Please.


He showed a lot of courage in not playing along and agreeing with everyone. I don't think you know what the word really means when you use it that way.


It does not fit the narrative.  Quick run and hide.


Then I take it you do not support the leftist cop killers, the black Panthers or any of their more recent offspring?  It is well known that at many rallies the AntiFa turn up armed with weapons of various sorts and also use what is available.   Do you support the AntiFa?


Wow, its like the World's most crazy tin foil hat conspiracy theorists all work for PBS, CBC and BBC. The same folks that said "Trump could never win". :)


you cant hide what does not exist,.. man the left is so pathetic, cant prove it so revert back to calling for trump to disprove it, ,sad and stupid at the same time the left is..


Actually Clayton, he did comment on the Oregon protest. He sided with the civilian group.


your not RIP?


This latest tax grab appears to be part of the Gerald Butts "tax the rich" Liberal popularity booster as he described to his friend Steve Bannon in the US.

Misguided and mean spirited and definitely not "fair".

There are millions of Canadians who will be affected by this - business owners, their families and employees. These draconian changes will be far from popular with them.


I hate paying taxes, which I'm sure is not a rare viewpoint here. That said, we the people have to pay for our State government somehow. Cutting it to match revenue from current oil prices is not possible. Period. If you think it is, the burden is on you to name specific items from the budget that total up to ~$3B. If we can move on from that nonsense, we're left with needing to find new revenue.

So as much as I hate taxes, I think this is the proper way forward for Alaska. It's not socialism, it's not redistribution of wealth, it's simply everyone paying their share for our collective government service.


Your photo caption is missing a sentence. "Not pictured: Child Protective Service workers from various states waited until the end of the song to put the Sharp children the hands of responsible parents."


It's rich for a Muslim to call sovereignty a hate crime.  Muslims don't integrate well as seen in Europe. Why? They dont respect national sovereignty.


This from the same folks who told us Hillary was innocent of all charges, Bill was a saint, Obama care is working, Bernie had equal support at DNC, Trump said all Mexicans are rapists/criminals and can no way win the election and on and on and on and on. Rather than say they disagree with someone the instant response is RACIST!.

Its Ok, we now know the word means nothing anymore, at least on these pages


I loath these incompetent, self satisfied,  supercilious politicians, treating us Ordinary Canadians as Ordinary Fools.

Only the Liberals, Federal or Provincial, breed such mealy mouthed talking heads that spew drivel Gerry Butts has dreamed up over a taxpayer paid dinner and drinks.


You have proof the other kids they mocked were immigrants or minorities? And you think teachers treating kids with disrespect never happened until Trump became president?


I've never understood the Republican platform on this. People (including Democrats AND Republicans) aren't going to stop having sex. It just isn't going to happen, regardless of the weird Puritanical fantasies some pro-lifers have. So why not help prevent abortions through contraception? It's not the entire answer but it's a part of the answer. But Republicans, supposedly pro-life (which is laughable) want to eliminate one method that helps prevent abortions. I want to get back to a point where I meet a Republican and not immediately assume said person is an idiot.


The military has enough systemic issues with unethical leadership or criminal behavior. The Navy has dozens of flag officers being investigated in the Fat Leonard contracting scandal in Singapore. Multiple officers were prosecuted and scores more may still yet be prosecuted. The Army had a parade of generals who violated the UCMJ with affairs that involved subordinates or compromised national security. The Air Force had a 4-star reduced two ranks for an affair with a subordinate officer. A AF one-star at Joint Base Langley routinely drank himself into a stupor in his office while on duty. In 2013, AF MG Carey went on a drinking binge in Moscow and spent most of the trip with two Russian women most likely Russian intel assets. Carey was the commander of 450 ICBMs. It goes on and on.

If the cadet can't make the standard today, it's best they're shown the door. Ignoring or enabling unethical behavior today just snowballs into an avalanche later.


Is this like re-arranging the deck-chairs on the titanic?

I have a real sense of deja vu here.


Maybe wait until the movie is over before you write your review.


They might have excluded Turpin as a detour out of respect for the residential area. Liability purposes?


Then get the fluoride in your toothpaste and in pill form if you want it so bad but the rest of us should have a choice if we want to be poisoned.


The majority of Americans love their guns? I wonder. Seems to me I've seen poll results suggesting majority support for additional gun controls.


"His contract required him to teach two classes a year, he said, but he typically bought one out — paying the university with money he earned from grants that support his research. He said he worried that if UAA reduced the size of the faculty he would lose control of his teaching load."
Teaching one class a year does not seem like much of a teaching load.  It seems to me that the faculty should be teaching several classes a year


There are currently two schools of thought regarding the reason for climate change
1. Natural variations of the Earth and solar activity
2. CO2 emissions generated by human activity

As the debate continues on the reason, one understanding has been confirmed, "only one of the above can be Taxed".....   I wonder if the politicians know this?


RG, thanks for the article on the "Wine Trail" with the six local wineries flourishing in their "unique microclimate  in the coastal foothills."
However, it's time we take a closer look at the geography there.  Several are described as being in Junction City, but that is only their official address because  it's the nearest city.  However, all are actually   to the west of JC, and in fact are west of Territorial Highway and the Long Tom River.  Your directions of driving north on 99 to JC are OK for those who live in Eugene, but not for all of us in Central and Western Lane County. We simply drive north  on historic Territorial Highway, which Eugeneans and Springfielders can also do after driving west to Veneta, to "enjoy the country drive with beautiful scenery all around."

While  "Prairie Mountain"  is a special area, you'll find a scattering of  fine wineries  and a few restaurants all  along Territorial by  the Coast Range  foothills south  to Lorane.
Think NS, not just EW!


Economy isnt better just more people working for much less. OBL? you mean he said yes to killing him, but he had nothing to do with finding him or infiltrating the compound. The military and cia had more to do with that than obama. Obama"just push it through we will figure it out later"care, Is a disaster and is falling apart. Health coverge is costing everyone more except the people getting it for free. No scandals? the IRS scandal,Operation Fast and Furious,ObamaCare:  keeping your old plan if you liked it,Benghazi,Hillary clintons email server,NSA spying on everyone that snowden exposed just to name a few.
 I see your remarks to me got removed or you deleted them.


Had Sloter struggled against 3rd and 4th stringers you might have a case, but he looked just like he did at UNC...throwing strikes all over the field. Certainly he has a lot to learn, but given the chance he took full advantage. Give him credit where it's due.


The thing is, these "smug leftists" with advanced degrees are the ones that can find supporting evidence and detailed studies to support their perspectives, while "low information" types tend to rely on platitudes, or at best "common sense", usually presupposing the conclusions then using meandering  and often specious inductions to justify it.  Or, we have the always reliable, "opinion presented as fact", such as when you claim that "intellectuals are enmeshed in utopian thinking that has no practical application in the real world".

Anti-intellectualism is nothing more than a cop-out. May as well just tell us that Real Americans Dont' Go To Ivory Tower Elitist Factories or some other "common sense" bluster.


I don't think anyone would drive Micra entire decade by choice. I also think it is unlikely Micra would last that long.

Depreciation should be considered, as selling 4 year old Micra is bigger hit, than for example buying 4 year old Civic and selling it at 8 years. Plus, Civic is a much better car, so you are driving better car and spending less money on it.

Looking at auto-trader in Ontario, there are 2015 Micras for sale for $7,500. This is substantial depreciation when you factor in dealer fees (delivery and such) on top of sales price. So you can expect 30%+ depreciation in the first year. This is crazy bad.


The company is going to start having an armed guard to watch for bears. This two young women were working out in the field when attacked and it sounds like the bear snuck up behind them. I have had a black bear do that to me twice and I was lucky both times to get to safety only because I happened to turn around and see him. Next to carrying a gun, bear spray is the best deterrent available. It is not always possible for people to carry rifles around while working. But you are right about bear guides carrying rifles. I went out to a bear viewing area where we had guides and they both had rifles. One walked in the front and the other at the back of the group. I can't imagine taking a group of tourists into bear country to view them without adequate protection!


No I have seen interviews with the girl. HRC made it seem like the girl was asking for it. I don't think HRC believed that but she will do or say anything to win. On the other hand Trump will do or say anything to lose.


KABOOM!


Far too much money is spent on bureaucracy and administration and not enough gets through to the athletes.  The simple fact of life is that you cannot hold a full-time job and have enough time to put in the training hours necessary to be a world class athlete.
The best example of this is the Canadian Olympic Association which raises millions of dollars and only a small percentage gets through to the athletes.


The GOP buffet doesn't look very appetizing.


Standard multiplication tables would cover up to 12x12.  That's for immediate recall.  However, the distributive property, which makes 23 x 412 quite a simple exercise, is part of the grade 5 curriculum.  I went to a math night for my kid when she was in grade 5 only to discover (a) kids were not being taught what they were supposed to be taught, and perhaps more alarming, (b) the majority of parents had expectations so low that living in a world where the most difficult math one might do in one's head should be limited to 12x12.    I taught my kid that night.  It took 10 minutes.   There is another point to be made, and that could be an article on its own, and that is that candidates for teacher's college not so long ago got in on the basis of their marks, and so young kids today are learning math from English and History majors who, for the most part, can't do grade 5 math.  Hence the problem.  There should be dedicated math teachers, just as there are language teachers.


I disagree wholeheartedly with your assessment of boxing.  You begin this article first by writing about dog fighting to lead readers to equate the two.  Totally disengenious; educated fighters?  How about the one of the longest reigning heavyweight champions in Dr Vladimir Khlisko (sic.) from the Ukraine?  Your article reeks of racial undertones to say the least.  Last time I looked, violence is defined as the exersion of force.  What is more violent?  A 200lbs plus SS putting Brady on his backside or a 120lbs punching another 120lbs in the body or face?

Stay in your lane because you don't know a damn thing about boxing!

And yes, you most definitely hold some racist traits.

No talk on MMA?  Nothing?

Got it!

The voters failed? Perhaps they didn't fail but refused... it was a vote...


Thus the Republicans are doubly responsible because they let AIDEA continue, grow, and survive after campaigns against "socialists". Many of these projects are huge now....the Ketchikan Shipyard is owned by AIDEA thus the State of Alaska and it was all under the Republicans watch. Owned by the state and supported by the state and financed by the state with ferries purchased by the state and will be used the the state. Sounds like communism to me and all done by Republicans. Because the shipyard is owned by AIDEA/Alaska it does not pay property taxes and the electricity it uses is subsidized by the public utility in Ketchikan where all the politicians in power claim they are conservative republicans...what a laugh. They are socialists if not communists as defined as late as 1988 by Ronald Reagan himself.


Gee, it is nice to see that Alaskans really need that PFD to take a vacation.


Ganot ends his first season with his recruits and his coaching in the bottom 50, 303 out of 351 according to the NCCA D1 ranking at present. Last place Alabama A & M at 2-27.


In Arizona, 80% of people receive financial assistance to help them pay their premiums. In 2016, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, the monthly Silver Premiums after financial assistance for a 40-year old non-smoker making $30,000/year in Arizona was $207/month. In 2017, it was $207/month. That’s an increase of 0%.


What on earth does her use of black makeup on Halloween have to do with Trump's election? Well, that's a rhetorical question of course, to which the correct answer is "nothing".


It's the fact that we are being taxed 42.5% and squeezed like a sponge for every penny we have left from landlords, businesses, education, medical, insurance and government, not to mention high interest lenders sucking us into debt early on, all on similar salaries we had 15 years ago. Money goes up the greed chain and every hard working Canadian has to strive to make ends meet and spend a whole life-time digging themselves out of debt while bay street, high level management and boards make millions on the average Canadian. Simple answer is: stop buying anything you don't need to survive and live yoda style. Years ago we had things more simple, a house phone, cable, a car, insurance, rent etc. and today we have multiple cell phones, multiple TV's, tablets, glorious internet packages, multiple vehicles, fee's for music, fee's for apps, etc. So unless you live like a hermit or have good discipline, your not going to end up saving and will always struggle. Cut back, it's that simple.


The tenant groups repeatedly warned the City Council that owned the building of impending risk of fire. They were ignored.

What else could Council do? There is no money. The same story in cities all across the US and Canada. Too much infrastructure, not enough money to maintain it. Buildings, roads, railways, bridges, all falling apart.

This kind of disaster is becoming the norm in coming years, a natural outcome of people  living  beyond their means.


Finally someone who is willing to take personal responsibility.  You, sir, will go very far in life.  Congrats.

What a disgusting comment.  Although I think Biden will be a bit too old, just from a health and wellness standpoint to ensure a full term in the next cycle, in no way does age impact one's ability to lead, adapt, inspire and put forth great policy that benefits all citizens.  He should have challenged Clinton and Sanders last year.  I'm an older millennial and would happily vote for anyone based on policy, competency, connection, leadership and experience irrespective of age.  Hillary, just didn't have it.  Fresh blood doesn't mean good, competent or brilliant blood.

Bernie needs to disavow this level of hatred, intimidation and public disorder that his supporters have committed. Is this the direction we want our country to go? Is a leader so fine with his supporters causing such chaos and hatred really one you want to support?


Hope his fellow inmates get together and buy him a shiv as a wedding gift.


The day I will trust our immigration system is when I truly believe there is a Santa Claus.  Trudeau can say what he likes but he is absolutely wrong when he calls people who object to "illegals" coming across to our country racist; I resent this big time.  But then it is really easy to throw insults at Canadians who do not share what he stands for.  He is so "naïve"!


Let's hope prosecution nails this one. They all deserve jail time, even those who claim they were just standing around. That's being complicit. And pointing weapons at a federal officer? That should be worth even more time in the can.


Of course everything looks greedy.

These are the same clowns that gave Taj Mahawker the go ahead to swindle the $40 million buyout deal with the private owner.  I want to know why the non-partisans and independent voters will continue voting these riffraff back into office.


This whole matter would have been nothing but a tiny blip on the radar were it not for the president, provost, dean of the law school and the particularly vicious law faculty choosing to make incindiary statements to the press in an attempt to turn this into something that it was not. Why each chose to do that only they know, but one thing is clear: they damaged themselves and the the university in the eyes of many with ties to university around the state who really do believe in freedom of speech and expression. The professor was naive; the university was simply vicious.

All the more reason that the City should start investing in infrastructure that separates the bikes from cars.  All it takes is a simple divider between bike lanes and car lanes.

The treaties are no more outdated than the Constitution of the US is outdated.

There is no denying that Native Americans struggle with socially destructive behaviors, but so do non-natives.  All of the things you mention occur all over America everyday among non-Natives.  It just isn't as obvious as it is in a small village.  The rates may not be the same for all those issues, but at in at least two - drug and alcohol abuse - white Americans take the prize.  A significantly higher percentage of white men drink alcohol than any other cultural group, and more of those who do drink, drink heavily daily than any other cultural group.  We just don't see it, and if we do see it, we see it differently -  when we see white street drunks it's a cultural aberration.  When we see Native people in the same condition, we see it as their cultural norm.  It's a false view of reality.

White people, men and women, take more illegal drugs and more kind of drugs than any other cultural group.


Okay.  At least this incident caused airlines to make changes which benefit the passengers so great.


Celeb, you're thinking of the 9th Island - Las Vegas.  Close to Los Angeles in name and distance, but not close in cost of living.  Might I suggest moving to Oceanside, Chula Vista, Temecula, or Bakersfield?  Much cheaper, with equally cheap plentiful, and good Mexican food.


But why should he have to? Having all drugs legal would still leave choice and we need more choices in life, not less. Alcohol use is an accepted part of biology or the liver wouldn't be able to do its job.

The executive branch enforces the laws.  You know that.  Congress provides the parameters for that enforcement through legislation.  The legislation is also what drives the format of the forms that go along w/ the enforcement side.  And its not a ban.


Get rid of the community hunt...it is being used by mostly non native groups and they kill way more moose than they need....I don't even hunt the Denali anymore cuz of the traffic and the "rookie" hunter who simply signs up for a Tier 1 caribou tag, automatically gets it, and decides I'm a hunter. Get rid of the automatic Tier 1 tag and put everyone who would like to harvest caribou in a draw system with dates that spread the hunt out over the longest amount of biological correctness to sustain "maximum sustained yield"....those drawing permits would have blocks of times to apply for and be in the field...thus spreading the pressure throughout the unit by using time blocks issued by draw permit.

It will get far worse for Puerto Rico, but from the effects of anthropogenic climate change. Per the EPA in https://19january2017snapshot.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-09/documents/climate-change-pr.pdf
"Puerto Rico’s climate is changing. The Commonwealth has warmed by more than one degree (F) since the mid- 20th century, and the surrounding waters have warmed by nearly two degrees since 1901. The sea is rising about an inch every 15 years, and heavy rainstorms are becoming more severe. In the coming decades, rising temperatures are likely to increase storm damages, significantly harm coral reefs, and increase the frequency of unpleasantly hot days."

Future generations will place the blame for environmental calamities in PR and elsewhere in the US squarely on today's GOP run, corrupt, non-working Congress and Administration who chose to ignore the evidence that is obvious to the rest of the world.


This article just shows how prone to overreaction people are nowadays.  The media and political parties thrive by creating and exploiting division.

One of the amazing phenomena of climate change is that it threatens cute animals like polar bears and promotes the spread of ugly animals like rats.

Pandering to Putin, Assad and Trump is not what I consider brave.

Trump's Paternal Grandparents, Frederich (later anglicized to Frederick/Fred) and  Elizabeth Christ Trump were immigrants from the Kingdom of Bavaria (now  Rhineland-Palatinate). Fred left Bavaria without permission and dodged the draft,  He went to America and became successful. He married Elizabeth and had children while in the USA. His wife was getting homesick for Bavaria. Fred, Elizabeth, and the children left the USA for Bavaria.
Fred Trump wanted to stay in Bavaria, BUT the Bavarian Authorities said no! They said Fred had left Bavaria without permission and avoided compulsory military service.  Fred, his wife, and family were forced back onto a boat to return to the USA. Fred Trump had been DEPORTED! 112 years later, his 5 time draft dodging grandson became the 45th President and has nativist policies. How ironic for a man that has many immigrants within 2 generations of himself.


Yeah, let's keep this baby going forever.

Unpresidented. It’s a word that rolls off the tongue. Not just an alternative to “Not my president,” but an alternative that includes all the “un” that defines Trump. Unqualified. Untruthful. Unreliable. Unjust. Uncouth. Unkind. Unconscionable. Unimaginable. Unbearable. Unconscious. Unacceptable.

Unpresidential.

Thank you, Mr. Unpresident.

No, they're rabid socialists though, who exist off the public trough. Sounds pretty leftish to me.


perhaps Mr Nanos could define " trade war" a little more precisely


Perhaps you do not understand the difference between a single Party's leadership election and Canada's federal elections.  I think people know who the stupid one is.


Wow, another REEEEE DONALD DRUMPF IS LITERALLY HITLER article. I'll vote for the candidate that doesn't support TPP, regime change in Syria, and war with Russia. Thanks.


Wente was right about the Hair On Fire Crowd, she must have seen you


If you'd only asked, it would have been a pleasure and a public service to recommend that you pursue other interests. It's a shame it took you this long to take the hint. Maybe try something that doesn't involve walking into so many punches.


If both those roads had been built (and I don't remember ever hearing about an elevated highway on Bloor) the problem would be even worse. Where do you think all those cars coming off an expressway to downtown would go?


The State patrol no longer refers to "accidents" in their reports.  It is always a "crash".  The number of "accidents" involving cars is vanishingly small and the number of"accidents" involving firearms should be zero.


It often is... but on the high side.  Not sure about the south end, but I-25 north of Denver really shouldn't have the 75 MPH speed limit on it that it does. There's WAY too much traffic for that speed, IMO.  It was fine with less traffic, but there's near constant compression points along the way now where you're doing 75 then have to slam on the brakes.  It's just not a very safe road at that speed with this much traffic.

IMO, they need to lower it to 70 or even 65.  Or better yet, install traffic sensors and electronic speed limit signs and employ variable speed limits.  When traffic is light, use a 75 MPH speed limit; when it's heavy drop it to 65.

Firstly note that none of the managers and above or HR people in the federal public service are unionised. Also what makes you think that all public servants vote Liberal anyway. I have two Conservative neighbours who are haapy to be in their unions - I admit that I found it strange for them to be voting for a party that was overtly trying to break unions. How did all those people survive during almost ten years of Harper?! How can you seriously post this stuff?


This is trump's katrina.


Medicaid for all is a great idea: right after Democrats permit that we cut Medicaid spending to Canadian/ European levels.

What Sanders wants, however, coverage for all at levels of spending of US private health plans, is simple crony capitalism favoring big pharma and the medical lobby.

So: cost controls and cuts before expansion!


He also penned this gem of a lyric: 'My name is Kid Rock, I'm a Capricorn / And Detroit City is where I was born.'


I'm an immigrant who came to Canada as a child. I'm old enough to remember a time when immigrants understood that coming to a new country was essentially a trade-off. You got to come to a new place that was safe, stable and more prosperous. In return you had to adapt to life in a new society. That didn't mean you had to give up everything from your past but there was a clear understanding that your life would change.

Now we have people like Ms. Khan who think that Canadian society must change to accommodate their social and/or religious beliefs. Sorry but it's just not possible to come to a new country and expect to live the way you did in your old country. That expectation is neither realistic or reasonable.


we don't have a President. the guy doesn't need any help tarnishing himself, he is doing all that hourly all by himself and those dedicated to defending the utterly indefensible, hell, the media can't even keep up with the non-stop barrage of bizarreness just off his tweets!


My approach hasn't been proven to kill anybody, has it?
Yours on the other hand, has lead us to Las Vegas.


As for being "social engineering", that's funny. The whole Left/Progressive is about social engineering, and the notion of Human Rights and Charters and Tribunals, etc., are all the result of "social engineering".

We just seem to differ o what kind of "social engineering" we want.


I find the word "cracker" offensive. I prefer to be called  "Saltine American"


The main difference between protest in Canada and in the States is the 2nd amendment. In Canada the police have protesters outgunned. In some states there are ex-military protesters carrying semi automatic riffles.

 I recently watched a program on PBS about a rancher that the government was trying to remove him and his cattle from government land. A call went out and heavily armed supporters came to the ranchers defence. Outgunned, the police backed down and deescalated the situation. In Charlottesville they tried to deescalate but there was 3 sides instead of 2.  The 1st and 2nd amendments combined can be a very dangerous thing. One more reason to be thankful to live in Canada.


Because they wrap themselves in the flag of progressivism the same way religious people have been sacrificing their children for a greater good.

Progressivism has replaced religion with many people, and they feel they are right now in demanding other people "believe" just as they do...

Not ruling out a tax grab/ inflated municipal operating costs, but if you own a detached place in the Lower Mainland, that place is definitely going to be appreciating in value (a lot) faster than other real estate in the city, such as condos or townhouses. (This is why the notion of a "property ladder" is sort of funny - you might build equity in your tiny condo, but it's probably not going to be enough to help you reach the next rung when you want more space.)

Anyhow, that greater rate of appreciation for detached houses likely means that, based on mill rate calculations, your share of the overall property tax burden is going to increase as well.


Ah, the "real folks" argument!

It was like the TEA party rallies where everything was allowed as long as it was anti Obama.


A well balanced platform for the NDP.

The increase in corporate tax form 11% to 12 % means that BC corporate tax rate will still be below the Canadian national average, so there is actually more room to move it up to 13% and generate more revenues without fear of corporations moving elsewhere.

As a Buffs can, I could not agree more.


Christy's trademarks are arrogance, shoot from the hip mistakes, and the inability to speak with regular people who are not scripted, so this incident alone should highlight her main faults to anyone listening.

But these faults are well known, and the election really comes down to her policies which alienate all but the foreign corporate elite.  In the case of the softwood lumber dispute; Christy has taken close to $1,000,000 from the very American corporations that are fighting Canada; so I doubt that anyone is just learning about her offensive behaviour at this stage.

BC must unite to remove this woman from politics.

Wait - before the election when she thought she'd win, didn't Hillary say something to the effect that not accepting the election results would be a threat to our Democracy?  I wonder what happened to change her mind 180-degrees on this issue ...


Aloha Mr. Matsuoka,

Mahalo for your mana'o.  How were those beers?  As you may already be aware, Kamehameha's Kanawai Mamalahoe was just a reiteration of laws that other ali'i had passed throughout the course of Kanaka Maoli history.

The context for Kanawai Mamalahoe's passage was really the treatment of civilians during wartime - it really was jus in bello/humanitarian law (long pre-dating the Geneva and Hague conventions).

It's place in the laws of our State can find themselves within the context of civil/human rights.  It is difficult to manage, however, because the last line of Kanawai Mamalahoe is "hewa no, make (Break this law and die)," which suggest capital punishment (which we do not have here).

Your comment begs the greater question regarding the protection of the people, especially our most vulnerable populations and indeed, we can and should be doing better.  Perhaps we ought to draft a bill and push policy on better civil/human rights laws?  Mahalo nui loa.


Shut your pie hole. Lisa Murkowski is a U.S.Senator and you are a bitter loser. She is not a traitor. You are a loser. Got that, bitter man? She's out salmon fishing and you are a loser.

Nobody did more to chase away young people from Mass (or Bible study, for that matter) than Traddies as exemplified in the posts by Jay and Trid. It's all right there in their posts, arrogance, condescension, rigidity, and an absolute contempt for the young - unkempt, disrespectful, bad mannered - just a few of the slurs they cast on the young in two short posts.

These same people in real time shot down any youth programmes/initiatives in their parishes, complained about noise, complained about the music the young people  liked. The list is endless.

Bitter people whose lives had passed them by and who secretly detested having been dragged along to Mass, Benediction, Rosaries, Novenas, in an unintelligible language, when THEY were young. And by God, if they were subjected to it - real, eh, Faith - then the next generations should be subjected to it too.

You are spot on, Elag, there are reasons why they continue to hit their heads against a Latin wall. One of them isn't its 'beauty.'


Wish I could have seen this on tv, but PAC12 & Directv can't get their acts together (no matter how much I pay.)  Good job Montez.


Nope, your pedantry is no help at all.
I expect Pope Francis knew what he  was doing when he gave his document the title "Amoris Laetitiae" and that translating that into English as 'The Joy of Love' is appropriate. It does suggest that just maybe 'Love' – especially married love – can be joyful!

If you want to reduce all love to sodomy, that is your mind at work. It is not in the words Francis uses.

Though I would suppose all genital activity is pleasurable, or people would not engage in it.


President Trump is living proof of a divine sense of sarcasm - funny until it's not then everyone is sad, sad, sad - good one God - now help us clean up this mess.

Too bad there is little outrage at the actions of these Muslims.  Maybe we should put up a statue?

Technically, Eric, it's likely that fish belongs to the people of the state of Alaska,.

You know, commonly owned resources and all, right?

...so let's talk about the other 98% of that fish's value, eh?

You giving up 2 cents on the dollar is about as bad a deal as we get from mineral extraction corporations.

Not a good deal for the State or it's residents.

(…and that fish will be worth five times what you sold it for soon, so our 2 cents is more like 2 cents on five dollars or more of value.)


It's German 'luxury'. Lease for 48 months max and run away.

New word for me, too.   ;-)  I would have guessed it ultimately derived from the Latin "cacare" (to defecate upon ), and referred to "... government by s***heads ..."

... which could mean most government, most of the time (alas) ... :-/


nor is it their right to encourage such things by preventing the stoppage of it.


I no longer contribute to UH athletics because of the poor management at the University. I can still remember the Sugar Bowl travel
fiasco where the University allowed " connected people " to fly free to New Orleans for the game. I remember that Senator Hirono and
her husband were on that flight but eventually paid the airfare after learning that the ethics commission would be investigating the trip.
I will not contribute money to the University of Hawaii when they continue to hire private law firms to represent them in cases where
the Attorney General's office could easily handle. They lack confidence in our government lawyers to handle termination cases. These
big time private lawyers usual fold and the people dismissed are paid off to go away. Shame on them !!!


Now, lissen up, Victimitis!  If you're gonna make assumptions, ("The American voter doesn't care about sexually abused women,") choose the right one, eh?

Try this one on for size: "...the American woman voter cares more about getting along with her husband/boyfriend than she cares about sexually abused women.  If he votes Republican, so will she."

Nah, I don't waste brain cells remembering the faces of the many politicians.  Yes, the mainstream media is pretty much a homogeneous mass and this artist dude managed to get his photo published in the media which was likely his choice and the media's choice for disseminating it.  Other folks and at other times would have considered the photo to be partisan and in poor taste as it demeans without substance.  Kinda like publishing a photo of somebody picking their nose.


It's obvious to me that a number of posters are disordered themselves, but not with PTSD.  More likely personality disordered, as evidenced by the narcissistic "me, me, me" rants.   Poor little things are routinely outraged at the mere thought of ordinary decency.


And excellent column, Tabatha. I love all the pop culture references. Alas, I suspect most of your critics won't catch them as I doubt they follow culture, pop or otherwise.

Islamophobia is real. And, as we are now seeing in the USA, it was mostly cover for the racism and antisemitism now in the open. Jewish cemeteries, synagogues and cultural centres all over the USA are being targeted for hate crimes.

The fear that Sharia Law is coming to my neighbourhood is on a par with fear that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a real plot against the West. And remember, the Protocols was written by Russians to justify their pogroms.

Russians, you say? I hear they've been up to funny business lately. Publishing other fake news items and pulling strings behind the scenes. Shouldn't we be afraid of them? No, no. I'm told. Fear Muslms, Jews, feminists, and people of colour. Those nice Russians are our friends. LOL.

WAR IS PEACE. FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.


How about focusing on fund raising instead of recruiting?


Rudy.. another of those tree hugging freaks who rail endlessly about how abused and misunderstood our animals are. Watch the video.. the moose was not harassed. The officials in charge did everything they could to give it space yet it charged several times. Unfortunate that it had to be put down, but MORE fortunate a youngster wasn't stomped after innocently skiing around a corner into it. I do feel the lift operators could have done more to chase it off but that's always a toss up. We encounter moose on trails almost daily on trails at Kincaid and they are unpredictable.


We're glad too, hon.


Now you're acting just like racist bigots who make fun of my Chickasaw name. You caricature my Chickasaw name in a vile derogatory manner unlike Hi u he he who never meant to be derogatory. I expect this from a coward who is incapable of ever producing an intelligent debate on any of the subjects you post your deluded opinion on. If you had a crumb of intelligence, much less a crumb of originality, you would have posted: wished your parents had named you Happy.


Did the Koch brothers move their secret weapons from Zug Island?


You do know that the billionaire was a liberal.


He's so far out there, I'm not going to the Chris Christie comparison....but it makes sense to close a facility that is paying such high rates per person.  Why did they not start with a smaller, less expensive facility with options to add on?  I think the REAL problem is the construction companies/developers seem to get lots of government contracts at the taxpayers' expense. For examples, if the city of Eugene just bought the EWEB building from the beginning and retrofitted it, the costs would have been millions of dollars less, or if they just retrofitted the current (now demolished) city hall for earthquake protection, that also would have saved US millions of dollars.  It's so easy to spend other peoples' (tax payers) money.  This has been an on-going issue for decades in Eugene and Lane County.


The argument is not we don't need to do something because the other guy is worse...it's about not needing to institute specific policies that cannot be shown to be effective in addressing the problem from a global perspective while at the same time, imposing a disproportionate local burden on the societies which take those ineffective actions.

Rather than the professor's chocolate bar moral argument, which is flawed simply because stealing always has a victim, irrespective of whether the amount stolen is large or small....a better way to judge the global warming action argument is the 2 trains speeding towards each other on the same track analogy.  If the trains are already so close that both need to apply the full brakes to avert complete disaster , and yet one engineer refuses to do so, there is no moral reason to stop serving lunch in the dining car of the other train....

climate change is a technical global issue, it requires an enforceable co-ordinated technical response


Nobody has verified the site. How soon will it take to start pumping out oil? Where exactly is the oil? What infrastructure will be needed? Is this even for real? Lots ofquestions before we jump the gun.


I was a student until recently too. It's normal to read 50-100 books a year in many disciplines. When I was expected to read these books, you know where the university made them available? In the library. When they weren't, the professor would order copies fo the library. When I wasn't expected to read them but I wanted to anyway and they weren't in the library, you know what I could do? Order a copy for the library, or loan from another library through ours. I assume many university libraries in the world work the same way. And students are expected to use them that way.

I also assume that students who value books can't afford - like most of us - everything they want to read. But that then they should be smart enough to figure out they should value their libraries, not undermine them by not using them which is what they are doing. On top of undermining the people who make the books in the first place.


A house on my street that sold for $360K 6 years ago just closed for $900K. That's some kind of crazy increase.


" incomplete stories that include unfounded accusations of disregard of victims rights on the part of the police."

If you read these case studies, the tactics used by police in interviews in which they actively ignore the main complaint, or try various ways to dissuade the complainant from pressing charges, are actually quite shocking -- and, since videotapes and transcripts are used, hardly "unfounded".


Shirlene Ostrof.... It's time for real leadership.


Reality sucks when you're a loser,  Bozo. So much winning, so much implosion.


I propose to have the Permanent dividend fund purchase every share of Northern Dynasty (NAK)
aprox 550 million shares for market.
The price i believe would be less than 1.2  billion dollars American.+ or -
Then open the mine and force the company to mine it in an environmentally sound way as to not destroy our food and tourism source. This money would be revenue.not tied to any state spending.
Then bond the project our selves and issue shares that are short the market to insure no loss in bonding this project.
when the shares rise exponentially sell them back into the fund.
Then may we have our full dividends.
Please.


Robert Orr: well-said. Thank you.


AirBags maim hundreds every year and sometimes even kill, yet they are installed in our cars without our choice and can't be easily disabled. You have no choice.

By your logic, we should be able to disable airbags and just promote safer driving.


Harper crafted the current ruleset for the Ethics and Conflict of Interest Commissioner.


Watch out, Mr Friedersdorf, some conservatives might sneak into your E Pluribus Dorm.

My guess is that the only people who would benefit from this sort of arrangement would be those taught to care for and respect those different from themselves during their true formative years, ages 0-18.


Best comment of the day.  Thanks for the good laugh!


Of course eh BC Liberals have nothing to hide. They are , electorally, above the law. Not enough voters care when they break the law.


The left ignores none of those tyrants, and the comparison with Venezuela is especially absurd. What used to be the lunatic fringe is now mainstream conservatism. I think your slope is the slippery one.


Sloter isn't even close to being ready for 1st team defenses, put him on the PS and bring in a vet for a bod until Lynch is healthy.


Its undercover reporting, Remember what that is ? This is the kind of stuff you should see on 60 minutes.  It matters and should upset any real AMERICAN !


I share your outrage.  But remember when BXVI lifted the excommunication on the Lefebvreist Bishops, but some one failed to inform him that one of them was a holocaust denier?  Terrible things do happen, even in the most august of institutions.


Your question is where the rubber meets the road.  Being a more competitive milk producer means cutting costs wherever possible. It implies a further industrialization of agriculture.  In my mind that may also result in less ethical treatment of animals, lower input costs (crappy feed) and a greater reliance on hormones, anti-biotics and other treatments to keep the production humming.

I prefer to pay a bit more and ensure the quality of the final product.


Thanks for your post. My high school civics class was a long time ago. So it's nice to have that bit of information. Too bad the writer didn't think to include it.

In the past, if I remember correctly, usually when the Senate sticks some amendments onto a bill (budgetary or not) and the HOC strips the amendments off and sends it back, the Senate takes the hint and passes it. So I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this delay until Thursday is the Senate's way of stamping its feet to show its displeasure without actually provoking a constitutional crisis.

The Senate periodically stands up to the HOC, but usually only on major issues and when an opposition party controls the Senate. Beer and liquor taxes hardly rise to that level. So I'd be surprised if the Senate refuses to pass the budget.

In other words, there might be a story on Thursday.


When gov't spook agencies believe from the top on down they're above the law and beyond accountability to the gov't they're supposedly servants of - it's time for spook heads to ROLL, starting with the HEAD spook's head. It sounds like Coulombe, at a miniimum, ought to be fired. And so much the better if there are laws he can be prosecuted under. Power abusing spooks, OUT.


Maybe that's why it happened in Virginia ................... a gun nut state


It's interesting but it seems like there is more emphasis  in pointing out differences than uniting the country at this time.  I think this mentality is why we have so much cultural strife.  I am surprised that this could be required for a course.  Fertile ground for ambitious civil rights attorneys.


I could not agree with you more, Littleway. Pence "won" by not defending Trump; but it was really a greater win for the Hilary and Tim ticket owing to Pence's caution.

It requires as much caution to tell the truth as to conceal it. But Pence's concealment, lukewarm "style," was rather chicken-hearted, white-livered, as it were. Pence obviously didn't want some of Trump's positions understood or believed, especially as Trump "articulates" them. Good heavens! What a "running mate"!!!


We now have a president who appears to have no actual knowledge about anything. It all up from there.


Siemian needs to learn to step up in the pocket when feeling pressure instead of to the back and side.

Also these miscommunications/blown coverages are getting a little bit too consistent for my taste, loved the Simmons play obviously, but how did EJ Manual manage to look like Joe Montana out there?

In relatively good shape going into the bye, can't wait til Ray comes back, we need him to bolster that pass rush... Go Broncos.


Pride goeth before the fall.


Nathan,

I guess we'll just have to wait and see how things work out.

In these discussions I'm hearing a lot of doubts expressed about Trump's ability to pick good leaders and make good decisions. That's primarily left-leaners who see things changing and mourning that their candidate lost. What gives me hope is that Trump is CEO of a complex and profitable $11B corporation. He didn't get there by being stupid and over the years he has developed a keen skill for evaluating people for their leadership abilities and putting them in positions where they can develop and deliver both growth and profits. So it will be interesting seeing how quickly and severely his management style conflicts with the entrenched bureaucracy and how much change he is actually able to drive. He has outlined an aggressive 100-day plan that I think is going to surprise a lot of bureaucrats by how quickly it knocks their ivory towers out from under them.


If president Dump wasn't such a child and trying to get back at Chin for blocking his travel ban he might consider traveling during non-rush hour traffic but unfortunately for us he's not mature enough.


BAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!


Donnie takes a whopping 48 hours to condemn the bigotry and hate spewed by the KKK, Neo-Nazis and white supremacists but a mere hour to blast the Merck CEO that resigned from the management council.
And of course he couldn't even do the former correctly. He treated it like an after thought by, once again, ravishing praise on his favorite person - HIMSELF. "Unemployment is down, a million jobs created and the economy is great, thanks to ME. Oh yeah, and before I forget, the KKK, Neo-Nazis and white supremacists are bad."
And then a few hours later, he blasts the Merck CEO AGAIN!
What a pathetic buffoon.


A provincial NDP leader going to Ottawa meet with a Liberal PM that is frequently to the Left of the NDP on many issues.

Maybe some selfies and a call for a group hug.


aa the depression ended and things turned around cause of the war pal, not government regulation.


Its Not religious, its Not telling people how to dress:
Its about 'identity concealment'.  I, you and everyone has the right to identify and be able to recognize with whom one is dealing.
IF you wear a mask - I don't have to serve you.  Full stop.


Since I'll be your lacking any peer-reviewed studies to back your claim, I'll just say that any time saved is likely negated by employees wasting time on internet provided distractions. Productivity in general has been falling in the US for some time, and it's very doubtful the tech sector is immune from that trend.


Read the UBC report comparing NDP versus Liberal economic performance.

I'll save you the reading; NDP performed better.


A viable third party is possible if for no other reason than we don't have a viable 2nd party, so the bar is very low.


As I said, I would eliminate ALL deductions/breaks/credits, and just apply lower rates to everyone.  That included mortgage interest, child credits, donations, etc etc etc.


Agreed.

Anyone who proclaims "two wheels good, four wheels bad" and actually believes it is an idiot.  There are reasons a lot of collisions between cars and non-cars don't result in charges; most of them come down to fault, but it also seems truish that cops favour drivers.


I'll bet it wasn't easy 'to load them into shopping carts'.  Some of those campers are pretty hefty when you are trying to do that.


If you said RINO's do not like Trump, yep, correct!

As for President Trump fitting the definition of Republican, oh golly no!


Right.  You're calling Obama a scholar! No, I was commenting on the ISIL term thrown in to prove Obama was superior.


So the person who nailed Jesus to the cross lacked full knowledge of what he was doing. Are we supposed to believe that we are just as/more ignorant of God's commandments today when we have access to the Bible, the CCC, and Church teaching at our fingertips with the Internet?  Are we really that incapable?


O'Weary...not here for you. Scammer and con artists abound in the CPC.


Yes, he wanted a Russian May Day parade of the military. Unbelievable stuff. You can't really make up anything any more.


PS - There are many sterling smaller cap dividend providers out there, several of them former income trusts.

For example, one that I've held for years is ENF. - current yield (including the just announced 10% dividend increase) is 5.8%.

Again, it is interesting to look at the long term total returns of this one versus the far more well known and considered more Holy Grailish by many,  ENB.

The 5, 10 and 13+ year returns (back to Oct 9,2003 which is the earliest data point for ENF in longrundata)  for ENF versus ENb are:

5 Year ENB- 12.3%, ENF - 16.4%

10 Year ENB - 14.9%, ENF - 18.7%

13 Year 3 Month ENB -  16.1%,  ENF - 17.7%.

A couple more names you may wish to look at are ECI, EIF and MSI. (I own them all). Cheers, and best of luck with your diversification.


It was actually Sarah and Burke et al bullying the Pope. Sometimes a bully needs a poke in the nose to behave. Cardinal Sarah was not the only target of this action.


I, for one, approve of the new Comments evaluation matrix.  It is a good spectrum of  "reactions".


The CPC is the party Canadian supporters of Donald Trump vote for.

That is all the definition the CPC will ever have.


"...We did so most recently in April at the solemn events in France to mark the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge..."
Nothing to be pride here Canada.  Was it because Canada was invaded by a foreign country ? Of course not ! It's more that Canada was a boot-licking colony for the British!
Canada will not become a “real country” until YOU stop being a boot-licking colony !


The domestic terrorists at the company called "civil comments" are attempting to destroy your first amendment right to free speech!
Only in communist countries or in Nazi Germany you had to have approval of your speech by your peers!
That's not the United States of America!
That's Russia under the iron fist of a loser named Putin!
RESIST LOSING YOUR 1st Amendment right!
Here is the communists website I HOPE all hackers that are reading this understand it is time to take this website down are you listening @ "anonymous" our free-speech is being destroyed by these losers

If memory serves me correctly, we have voted on that issue three times in the past. I believe two of the times it passed. But for one reason or another the powers that be ( $$, greed,& power ) keep on, keeping the Capital in Juneau.

Hi Kevin, Sorry that I do not write back immediately. I do not own a cell phone/Laptop/Ipad/ Tablet/Blackberry, etc. - just a basic Apple Computer at home. Kevin, the organist (Evelyn) in our Parish Church did not go up to the Altar to receive Jesus in the Holy Eucharist because she knew she was living in sin and did not want to offend Jesus further, but she was attached to the sin of impurity until she realized that she was indeed offending Him by choosing to continue having sexual relations with her boyfriend. She needed to hear in a loving (not judgmental) way that she has to choose between God and sin. What I always found humbling about Evelyn was the fact that she used to go up to the Altar and cross her arms over her chest. In this way, the Priest knew she was there to receive a blessing but not to desecrate the body of Christ because she was not in the State of Grace. I believe your example of Joe and other remarried Catholics who have not obtained an annulment (continued)


You are right. Those people will not be your friends in the future because they all have issues. Issues is why they binge drink to numb the anxiety and pain probably caused by family issues.


I think PBS cuts across political boundaries and I have to think hard to come up with some example that would typify it as politic ally biased although I know the common perception is that it caters to the left, but I think it's only a perception. Most of what I see on public broadcasting is straight up educational and in that I can see how it would offend those on the right of the political spectrum.


So?


I really admire Jane Fonda, but I think your comment was quite witty and clever. I think Jane herself would approve. She does look like the kind of woman who is serious, but has an ability to laugh at herself.  I once met someone in the enterrainment field who worked with her. They said she was bright, down to earth, excellent manners, motivated,  smart, committted. And fun. Doesnt surprise me in the least. For many years i had a photo of Jane....era of Klute....wearng a military style shirt....at my desk at work.She is not perfect, but shes impressive, at least to me. I really admire her. Writing her a fanletter is  a retirement project, so Im enjoying defending her , a pleasure.


Have you seen any of the videos where eye-witnesses in Charlotsville talk about there being several buses lined up behind each other with people in both KKK shirts and BLM shirts coming off the same buses?


"Waaaaaahhhhh"


There have now been 155 mass shootings in the U.S.A. since the beginning of 2017.

Trump supports the NRA and the NRA says Americans should get more guns to protect themselves.  Maybe Trump and US congress and US senate members should  get guns and start carrying guns to protect themselves as the NRA suggests.

By the way, when will Trump and his U.S. administration make America safe again?


The fare is reported to depend on operating revenue and ridership. The bus and city dept of transportation iirc uses 10% rule of thumb. If you're paying about $2 fare then the revenue including federal money is about 9X that. So if the cost of each rider is $20 then 10% of that is bus fare.


Yawn.

Jesus replied:  "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning."  He went on:  "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery."

This was no hyperbole.  In fact, it is perfectly logical.  Jesus is telling us that divorce is impermissible in the sight of God, so much so that a man procures a "divorce", he is not divorced in the sight of God.  The marriage remains intact --- so much so that whichever of the spouse later marries and has sexual relations with the new spouse, that person commits adultery.  All of this sounds like metaphor to you?

You ask:  "How do you think they would have reacted when someone they knew, someone who had followed the law, was called an adulterer?"  That depends on who they thought Jesus was.

Great column, but I don't see that enriching himself or his family is truly a priority. Yes, his Washington hotel is doing well, but its relative chicken feed.


What part of "Worst Mass Extinction Event Since the Dinosaurs" don't people get? Fukushima has polluted fully one third of the world's ocean, and ALL marine life in that area has disappeared or is in process of disappearing. ALL fish has mercury in it, even trout in ONP's high alpine lakes. It's not safe to eat, so get over it. Our species is next. What affects ocean life affects all who come in contact with the ocean or who depend on its food chain. The fat lady is singing.


Roby, Ray, and Marshall were exposed for their lack of talent. Marshall has taken a knee on tackling and pass coverage. Ray is extremely over-rated. Roby just can't cover. Safety play is none existent.


WE are paying this?? what bs, let him sue the usa if he feels its justified,,  or sue his parents for making him a child soldier in the first place, but canada taxpayers should and do owe him nothing!


Thanks to Attny General Chin for broadening his case to include religion and demonstrating that on the opposite side of the world, Trump's travel orders undermine families.

Thanks, Rui for again digging into the nitty-gritty details.


Yes, too late to stop!  It was too late to stop when the first lies came out of the sides of our public officials' mouths before anything was ever done!


Obama's love affair with radical Islam has officially ended.


It is so refreshing that lay Catholics in parishes in the New York area are showing the hierarchy that they do indeed have a voice and they demand to be heard. There has been too much cover up of clergy sexual abuse of children and vulnerable adults by popes and bishops for too long, and parents are not going to take it anymore.

Instead of popes and bishops being servant-leaders like Jesus, many of them are princes who worship a false idol, in my view, because they worship the man-made rules of the institutional Church, and lack a personal relationship with Jesus, the Christ and the man, who gave us two commandments: to love God and to love one another.

Jesus asked us to come directly to him and that he would refresh us. Why is Jesus so ignored and Mary so revered by our hierarchy, especially when that same hierarchy treats us women like second class people and gives substandard reproductive care to women in Catholic hospitals?
Sincerely,   Dr Rosemary Eileen McHugh, MD, MSpir


Give some evidence of the "phoney degree" issue that claim. Also some evidence that Canada doesnt vet people. Every report I have ever seen actually claims Canada's immigration requirements are too hard.


Then the commission, and all church leaders, must listen!


Obama blamed Bush during his years. Smearing on all sides are getting tiresome.


no need to insult Trump by comparing him to Justin.
