Looks like Alaska pollsters nailed it again: A poll of likely voters in Alaska shows PERSON with a growing lead over PERSON particularly with younger voters and women, mirroring trends seen in the lower-48. Craciun Research surveyed 400 voters and found 47-43 leaning for the Democratic nominee with less than two weeks until Election Day. This most recent polling verifies the trend identified by Moore Information and Lake Research polling showing growing support for PERSON, and that the Last Frontier, typically a solid red state, may be turning purple. PERSON’s support with likely voters meanwhile has dipped 4% since mid-October.

I would like to correct one note in your response. The only state agency/departments that collects federal per diem rates are the legislators, and the governor’s office. All other state agencies and employees collect the state rate at $60.00 per day. On the travel days, it is reduced to $48.00.

I think this travel ban was enacted in reaction to that guy who was returned in a comatose state, as well as the "lesser" concerns over US people still held captive in NK. I don't know what this accomplishes, other than saving the US the resources that typically have to go into dealing with trying to get detained US citizens back. Common sense should tell them not to go there in the first place. Seems kinda backward, really. The US trying to PREVENT people from going in. . . .???? Let 'em. Just make clear that if they do, and if they get detained, they're on their own. Why expend resources on either side of the issue? "Banning" implicates the expenditure of resources to prevent. Just as "rescuing", or negotiating returns, or making diplomatic efforts is resource expenditure. It's like Hawaii's stupid hikers. They go out and do stupid stuff thinking they're made of steel, then get into trouble. Just tell 'em ahead of time: "No rescue if you're stupid." Then, let 'em go.

I didn't refer to triadic inferential cycling in reference to any philosophical schools. As you know, it's more basic than that. It merely describes the fast & frugal heuristic that most understand as common sense. The rationalistic approaches of PERSON et al lack epistemic virtue because they offend common sense when they neglect inductive inquiry, actually listening to the faithful & evaluating the value-realizations (and frustrations) of their concrete lived experiences. The sterile brand of scholasticism has always been out of touch with our common sense and common sensibilities. Of course, there are additional critiques precisely grounded in competing philosophical schools & methods that refute PERSON's approach. I suppose what I'm saying is that it's funny that anyone would see my description of common sense & then pejoratively label it postmodern. By that time, substantive responses gave way to ad hominems re style b/c RD had run out of counters, unable to refute. Thanks for this!

I'm tired of the North Korean regimes. One of my best friend’s PERSON served in the Korean War. When I was stationed there I met a family that talked about the war and how their village and their area had men being drafted to both North and South. One of the men went to the South as a Marine medic and was pivotal in helping to stop an advancing element while greatly out numbered. But he actually learned to operate to save Koreans that were often overlooked by the UN ran hospital due to resentment at the time. He also learned English and learned to fly medivac and flew solo during dangerous missions. When he finally got to go on leave he caught a ride as far North as possible, walked 2 days then caught a ride with a bunch of North Koreans. He knew most of them and they argued about who owed who money. When I got back to the States I was talking with my friend's PERSON and we realized that same Marine was the Marine that helped him when he got wounded. Small world.

Having written her own political obituary in Alaska when she quit as governor, or so I thought, the ghost of PERSON remains to haunt us still. PERSON argues for her resurrection, her second coming, as political electroshock for Alaskans because we are supposedly bored and disappointed by our current government, even as we struggle with unprecedented existential economic and policy challenges. Although PERSON writes with tongue in cheek, he ain't kiddin' cause that's how some people in Alaska, mostly the angry old and white ones, truly do roll. Personally, I would rather PERSON remain as a painful memory, resting in her lovely home and fulminating at the family and not us. History will not absolve her from her political failures, her overweening desire to become rich and famous leading to her headlong run for the big TV money, her abandonment of Alaska, and especially her bulldozing of civility and good sense since being nominated as vice president of the United States.

Part 3: I smiled a bit when I read a comment by another poster in this thread that said something like "It's ok to steal from me if you love me." I think he thought it was a clever comment, but St. Augustine already anticipated it when he said, "Love and do what you will," by which he meant that if you love me, you won't steal from me. I think that the best model we've developed so far for trying to devise a system that blends justice, mercy and compassion (for perpetrators and for victims) is very much still a work in progress: Restorative Justice. I think we need to do more to make the model known, and then we need to develop structures -- both in church and in the criminal justice system -- that facilitate that approach to justice. If/when your time permits, I would be interested to know what your professional experience suggests about restorative justice. Here ends my second three-part message to you.

Further absolutely, totally pathetic drivel from Catou. If the whole thing is 'vague', then there really is no hope for you (and get a FA quickly). Another PS. As restaurants are added to the royalty pool (Jan 1st each year) the formula used is accretive to current shareholders - in exchange for the additional restaurants in the pool Pizza Pizza Limited (who owns the restaurants) is paid in units of PZA, so Jan 1st of this year their ownership of PZA increased to 21.1% from 20.4% - so Pizza Pizza Ltd are not 'selling shares'. Same deal for the other royalty outfits. Re the pizza is horrible - I'll actually agree with you on that but so what?

IRT Rail Project: I am not a fan of rail, but if we're going to run it through town, then run it through Middle Street above ground, then onto King Street at grade, replacing the bike lane. Put the bike lane where it will be less of a nuisance, such as Young Street. OR, if they can figure out a way for bike riders to ride the rail FREE, then they can use their bikes to navigate side streets wherever they get off. Since it will be at grade, eliminate all the planned stations after the stadium since it can then make at grade stops. The transit center at Middle Street can still serve as a bus hub while the rest needing to go into town can just stay on the train. No need to mess up town streets digging holes for pillars (where iwi will of course, be found) and replacing overhead wires and underground sewers. Make buses use the train line as well since cars should be prohibited from using the rail line. Just put in those electronic devices that that prevents collisions.

Well not all those 216 million are covered by private plan as your state "1/6 to 1/7th have no coverage at all." The 1/6-1/7 are part of the 216 mil. You state: "Pretending in the face of demonstrable evidence that our free market system is better than the system of universal coverage in every other developed country is deceptive." But you conveniently forget that the US federal government already directly controls 67% of the nations healthcare right now, today. So there is nothing close to a free market system for healthcare. Pretending otherwise is deceptive. If 1/6 have no coverage today that is 48-54 mil. of 325 mil. Americans without coverage. So 109 mil. citizens are covered by government healthcare, about 50 mil. do not have healthcare (as you stated) leaving about 166 mil. with private healthcare. Income taxes on the 166 mil. already fund the largest percent of the 109 mil. and would have to fully cover an additional 50 mil. It is foolish to state the money is there now.

Proposals I made at the time Measure 5 was being considered: 1. Relief for retirees who'd lived their working lives in Oregon and could pass a means test. The biggest complainers about property taxes in Bend were CA transplant retirees who suckered to rising home prices and paid with tax exempt profits from the sale of SoCal houses. 2. End the property tax relief scams that attracted businesses which deserted the properties and workers at the slightest dip in whatever market they were involved in. 3. Outline in specific detail how the state was to get the revenue to make up education shortfalls from the general fund so that politicians couldn't make decisions to cut other services in order to meet the demands of Measure 5. 4. No relief for commercial properties. Measure 5 was designed to relieve business of paying for services used and to break public education, the enemy of corporate oligarchy. At some point everyone pays property taxes and not hard to adjust them to be fair.

Why do Canadians keep begging for American approval? Is it that Canadian banks and investment firms aren't good enough, or is it that they aren't sparkly enough? This deal sucks. Millions are getting siphoned out of Canada. Shame on the OSC for pushing HCG off a cliff. I am a shareholder. Why didn't the Board do a deal with a Canadian consortium?

The two day shipping is "two business days" - if you order on a Friday the first business day is Monday. I love Prime and if you don't I suggest you keep your $100 per year and stop complaining.
