On my way to UAA's Wendy Williamson auditorium to protest Bill Walker's theft of OUR PFD's... while Walker continues to lavishly spend money he says we don't have, steals staff and budgeted money from other departments in a deceptive shell game of RSA's, pads the pockets of his buddies with high six-figure salaries and contracts, travels all over the world accompanied by his entourage in an effort to drum up irrational exuberance as a substitute for a truly real economic development strategy based on rational expectations, and churns out videos in desperation while he dodges members of the public; among other things. Walker, Mallott and chief of staff Whitaker lie, steal and are totally out of control. They cannot be trusted as they continue to violate the public trust.

Puts you ahead of most of the current Graduates of the Knight School of Law over at Duck U! See what you get for your $32,474 per year In-State tuition: They only have a 67% Oregon State Bar Pass rate. The "Worse pass rate vs. same state peers from all law schools (-2.8%)" They have a "Higher than Average" Law School Aptitude Test (LSAT), just a lower graduation and Bar Pass rate.

The bishops love and care about the poor. Of course they do. Jesus loved and cared about the poor and the bishops are living images of Jesus. And the bishops love and care about immigrants. Of course they do. The collection baskets won't fill themselves, and mass attendance among true-born American citizens is right up there with French Canada and the Czech Republic. But the bishops don't get to write Congressional bills. They have to compromise. The poor people and immigrants are just not as important as defunding Planned Parenthood. So poor people and immigrants had to be thrown under the ecclesiastical bus. Because nothing is as important as making women produce babies, babies, babies, like Mary. The poor and immigrants will just have to unite their sufferings with Our Blessed Mother of Sorrows. And they better not stop putting money in the baskets while they do it. Jesus would be very angry if they did that.

You know better. There was a lot of carryover spending from W. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq didn't end on January 20, 2009. They continued and had to be funded. Same for Medicare Part D--it continues today. The Bush Great Recession meant fewer income taxes as millions lost their jobs, and more billions in unemployment and other counter-cyclical spending to combat the recession. "There's a dramatic difference between what Barack Obama was handed and what Donald Trump will be stepping into," says Mark Hamrick, senior economic analyst at Bankrate.com. He took office in January 2009 -- in the depths of the Great Recession -- when the U.S. was bleeding nearly 800,000 jobs a month. It was the worst economic hole America had seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s." By the end of his second term Obama added 11.3 million jobs over for 75 straight months of economic growth. http://money.cnn.com/2017/01/06/news/economy/obama-over-11-million-jobs/

Refusing to reduce pollution as a society and individually because everyone pollutes at least a little bit is a very lame, short-sighted, selfish excuse. Please learn to use the term by-product appropriately if you are going to lecture. Plastic is not a by-product in any sense. Plastic is a targeted product made typically from petroleum distillates. Every molecule of plastic ever made still exists somewhere on our planet as dangerous pollution. We have also discovered that other renewable sources are usable for plastic production. Will this render your entire argument against curtailing pollution moot?

The description of the rationale for using the Filoque side-steps the scriptural issue neatly but in a manner that only the elite would know. What is unfortunate is that much of Scripture is still a mystery for many Catholics. My former teacher for religious studies in college was a daily mass attender and devout Catholic-but he said and I quote: "I don't know the Bible". The Fundamentalists have co-opted familiarity with chapter and verse, which is unfortunate, as Genesis is a theological narrative, not science. The issue is authority-and clericalism depends on the ignorance of the laity for its continued dominance. I think, rather, that Mariology has confused the issue of the role of the Holy Spirit in the church. Yves Congar, French Jesuit commented when perusing official documents was of this wise: "Wherever I expected to find commentary on the Holy Spirit I found references to Mary."

When the eye came over land in the Naples area about 120 miles south of Tampa Irma started to fall apart. This is critical for any storm. They can't regenerate like they can over water and the frictional force disrupt circulation. Also as flat as Florida is just east of the Naples area is one of the highest parts of the state with rolling hills which break storms up. I didn't ride it out - I stayed with a friend close by who was better protected by surrounding trees and buildings and 35 feet above sea level. If you are within a mile of water and less than 10 feet above sea level you are crazy to not leave. Its not cool or macho or whatever. Its a giant pain to be sitting in the dark hot, sweaty, no TV, etc. Its like how people have been swept away in the streams there in thigh deep water. You might make it wading across but its a certainty that if you don't try you won't die. For noobies to Florida every storm is a learning experience. We need to send them the right message.

In a pluralistic society, we need to transcend these concerns of yours. Birth control. same sex marriage, and kosher should not be a problem if we are understanding and respectful of others. Sin is in the eye of the beholder. Others are not bound by your opinion of sin. If you insist on imposing your views then you risk isolating yourself. You will be ignored. The Catholic Church has suffered a similar fate by insisting that their teachings must be obeyed. The days of imposition are past. They must meet their needs of today to be considered and accepted. You can follow your conscience but it is yours and others have theirs. To find the common ground is paramount to live in harmony with our neighbours.

I did not say the Golden Rule failed to abolish slavery, but you know that. I said the Golden Rule proves slavery was unjust. The pursuit of justice is a noble political endeavor. It was the injustice of slavery, not the doctrine of equality, that motivated abolitionists and caused abolition to become a political force for change. The political or the private pursuit of the doctrine of equality ends in ideological revolution. The French revolution set an observable, repeatable, pattern of what happens when equality is pursued ideologically as a political end. Lucifer and Cain are two of many biblical examples that the doctrine of equality darkens the hearts of both men and angels. Pity the unhappy souls that join them in their benighted covetousness.

It's not just a casino and a restaurant. The JW Marriott, with what will be the largest hotel ballroom in Vancouver, will be able to attract some of the bigger convention events coming to the City.

The JW is an anchor hotel there too. Not too different than how it's positioned in Vancouver. I'm actually very excited to see it unfold.

This is really not that surprising, and I'd like to point out that all of the 50 cities in the study require an income of more than $40K, but many others were in the $60K- $70K range. I have lived in many cities across five states: NY, FL, WA, TX and OR, and none of them were "cheap." Point being there's nothing local about this problem. The real problem is SHRINKING MIDDLE CLASS. Making $60k a year should not be a big deal for a working couple – that's 30 grand a piece. Wow, crazy! We used to think of someone who made $30k as someone who did not make a lot of money, now we are being told that makes us "rich."

TJLYOM I am with you on this. It seems like the media wants/needs viewers/clicks and so agitates "us". If we are comfortable and happy, then maybe our psychology works such that we sort of relax and don't watch/listen/read/click? But when we get stirred up, we get on alert, like any herd animal, and start paying attention, emphasis on "paying"? And the media are having a field day with Trump and his administration, but is it really a reaction to being "wrong" or "losing" in the election? Don't both sides get so riled up about the other and it's that agitation that the media fans and feeds? Is it the downside of freedom of speech? Just like getting a leader you don't like is the downside of democracy? And getting taken and paying high prices for stuff you want the down side of capitalism?

Sometimes in life one must make choices. Hydropower and dams used to produce it is absolutely vital to sustainable long term power production free from carbon emission. Here we see a profound conflict. Many folks support any cause that promises to return the world to mother nature. Free flowing rivers. Reduced carbon emission. Forests that are not harvested. etc. Here we have a head on collision between back to nature free rivers and fighting climate change. It is interesting how many warmers support dam removal or less than optimal power production while at the same time professing concern over climate change. Of course, if varying river flow is a significant concern, the way to eliminate it is to place a small secondary dam downstream of the primary which acts as a buffer storing high flow from the main dam and releasing it when the main dam is reducing less. Below the secondary dam the flow would only exhibit seasonal variations.

I Agree with the first party of your post - 100% - 'The reality of 'climate change' ' has nothing to do with it..

I've dropped my Electric bill in Hawaii from $800 a month to $80 because of Solar. My equipment paid for itself in 2 years! "Accelerate the rise of Minimum Wage" - not so fast! The jump in pay would cause more problems that it would fix - including resentment from those that have worked hard to get to the wage point they worked for, sometimes for years. Hawaii has a lot of problems, the Dems keep ignoring them - We need to shake them up so we can BEGIN to fix things..

This opinion piece is flawed in so many places one can easily miss that its basic thesis is correct. Technology and economic forces along with basic changes in social values are what will drive change, with policy being a trailing second cousin. The claim that "The best hope for the planet lies not in massive investments in wind and solar power, which can never reliably supply more than a fraction of the energy a power-hungry planet needs. " is demonstrably wrong. The world will rely on renewables of all kind for energy within thirty years, the LNG fad will be forgotten and hydrocarbons will be seen as an interesting source of molecules for innovative materials. Renewables is a lot more than solar or wind though. There are hundreds of different renewable technologies. The energy future will not rely on any one dominant mode.

Back in the '80s when I lived in San Diego, the SDPD committed so many egregious and horrendous crimes against the public (refer to examples like the Sagon Penn and Kara Knott cases, for two of many, many examples) that folks organized, monitored the police band radios and maintained contacts near wherever the cops pulled someone over in our communities so they could be contacted to quickly assemble as witnesses to how the cops treated those they stopped. Worked, too. Evildoers hateth the light. I saw example after example where the cops, suddenly surrounded by a crowd of witnesses, stopped beating victims' and released 'em without charges. My son was one of 'em. His crime was driving a car considered too nice to be driven by a 'person of color'. As I recall San Diegans were still monitoring the cops until about 5-6 years ago.

You do not qualify for the primary residence reduction in assessed value, nor the Homestead exemption that caps tax increases. Not the same thing as calling it a tax on the property being empty for half the year, but still a tax on how you use your property.

I follow financial reporting, and I agree with you that the NP is near its end. And I say this where I prefer the politically centrist editorial positions in the NP to the left-wing bias of the G&M. Where I disagree with you is that the Globe is in any trouble. First, its billionaire owner has deep pockets. Second, its business and investment sections are well written and well edited, and offer small retail investors like me a chance to closely follow various publicly-held companies. There are essentially two groups of readers for the Globe. First, there are the left-wing readers who enjoy the paper's editorial bias. Second, there are the business readers (like me) who profit from this side of the paper. I'm not sure the G&M could survive with the former readership only. Left-wing readers can always get free reading from the CBC web page. On that note, one reason for the Star foundering is the free left-wing opinion from the CBC web page.
