I'd simply like to give my condolences to the families of the sailors that were lost. Whatever occurred, the loss of life is tragic. Hopefully the cause will be determined and the chance of this kind of accident kept minimal.

This is budget trick number 32alpha. Right out of the standard playbook. If you really want to avoid hard budget decisions; if you want a tax increase, tie it to an essential that would be very inconvenient to oppose. Kids, cops, firefighters are all good targets. Pet projects never are. Ask the Army to take a budget cut and the first thing it proposes to cut is essential maintenance always deflecting away from the hot new wiz bang hypersonic goody they want so bad. A tax here protects a pet project elsewhere. Money is fungible. Little lines on a spread sheet are even more fungible.

My cost of health care is from the OECD (Organization of Economically Developed Countries), but those numbers are available in a lot of places. The OECD has also rated health care systems and found the US last in performance, but I base my "performance" evaluation on information from the CIA World Factbook (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/). According to the World Factbook, only Denmark and Portugal have a lower life expectancy than the US (and Portugal spends 75% less per capita than what we spend on health care). "and why is insurance twice as cheap in Western Europe", or more exactly, why is health care in the US twice as expensive? Because they have figured out how to do it, and we have not (or are not willing to do it.) Maybe privatization is not the way to achieve an economic cost.

Good investigative journalism on the on-going political corruption of this state. Hopefully, in the near future, an in-depth reporting on the Honolulu rail transit fiasco when it too shall "rear its ugly head". It is apparent Albert Hee had a "quid pro quo" arrangement with corrupt Democratic party members and the only reason funds were donated (kickbacks) to their politically affiliated organizations. It was working like a well-oiled machine. Quite certain if Albert Hee had his druthers he would not have even contributed a plug nickel. We live in a filthy saturated rigged state. The characterization of the transactions that occurred is that of a well- established organized crime structure. Drain the fishpond.

Unfortunately, Rossi's point about the poor officiating is just the tip of the iceberg. Look at what happened over this weekend on the outer islands. Iolani, Waipahu got hosed and Damien almost lost to an inferior Kauai team because of highly controversial officiating. Not sure if its a product of intra-league strife; gambling; or just plain incompetence but its disgraceful and jeopardizes the integrity of the games and the safety of the players.

This is simply a myth. A gun purchased for protection is far more likely to kill the owner or relative. When was the last time you ever read where a mass killer was stopped by someone with a gun with the exception someone from law enforcement. “It can work both ways,” said Pollini, who also worked 30 years as a New York City cop. “In one, you have law-abiding citizens present at the scene of a shooting that could terminate it, assist in apprehending the individual."

I heard that too. They say the cult's headquarters is some where around Eagle River. That's the area one of the members of our assembly lives. I don't want to call her out by name but, I met her once and she seemed like a nice person. I heard they've been stockpiling puppies for their cult meetings. She should probably clear it up if she still has a taste for puppy blood. Don't mistake me. I'm not judging. Just saying.

Don't you know that it is the laity's only job now, To have constant sex in order to pop out gobs of excess male babies to solve our misogyny crisis (oops! I mean vocation crisis)? Lay people should be doing this one thing, and not worry their silly little heads trying to lead important church organizations and depts. - Just make those babies!! Sometimes I think this pope is really different and able to make real changes and then he turns around and makes some horrible comment or hires some bland choice to cover a position that really might have made for a great example, demonstrating he is a pope with his ears somewhat open. Sad these missed opportunities. He really is just still not getting it.

Wagner Act of 1935? Or the Taft-Hartley Labor Act of 1947, which amended the Wagner Act? Or the Taft-Hartley Labor Act amendments of 1975? Doesn't matter! Reagan used it to allow companies to break laws during strikes, dishonored agreements, prolonged and/or prohibited strikes by his declarations. Union protections and wages haven't been the same since. The workers -- literally -- bargained away their rights out of desperation. Whilst that was happening. Lots of scabs (non-union scabs) were brought in to work for various companies, factories, mills, etc. Most of the product produced by scabs -- was junk that could not be sold -- poor quality. But the companies were willing to wait. Companies spent millions and millions of dollars during that period of time. The end goal was to reduce wages, and eliminate as many benefits as possible. It worked. Oh, and then start shipping our jobs, and their profits, out of the country.

Olie: when I saw the first replay of the hit, colour queens were still calling it a head shot. Looked like a good shoulder block to me. When I saw it a third time colour guys and hockey experts were still yammering about a game suspension because of a chin hit. It still didn't look like a head shot, to me. When you have a 230lb guy take out a 150lb guy, at full speed , of course it isn't going to look pretty! By the fourth replay, ref refused to call a penalty and they were beside themselves with excuses. Sometimes, you have to wonder, who makes this stuff up?

Yes, I understand the premise but if the law is written so the average man can understand it, as it is required to do otherwise it is void for vagueness and a nullity. Then why do we allow judges to insert their own definitions thereby changing the intent of the law and thereby creating new law? A "case law" which was not created by congress therefore unconstitutional in my mind. The intent of our forefathers was for every man to be able to bring his or her grievances to a jury of his peers and both the law and the facts be judged. A judge should be a referee not an active part in the contest.

You have hit on a characteristic that is common with narcissists and it is related to my comment regarding an authentic self; they have no originality. They mimic, mirror, and emulate others, adopting beliefs, activities and values of those they target, and they are dumbfoundingly skilled at it. Their acting abilities are beyond what most people can understand, possibly because in the moment they believe themselves. One victim stated that they fake emotions better than ordinary people feel the real thing. It is regularly seen in abused spouses who have difficulty leaving their abuser. The abuser turns on the charm, promises, goes on best behavior, woos, "love bombs," and ordinary people cannot believe that anyone who didn't really feel that way could possibly exert so much effort to lie. Trump's voters are going to have difficulty believing they have been conned as much as they have, but they will. Disillusionment is the only possible outcome to this disaster.

The reader's approach sounds good except that the buy / sell points are difficult to set properly. What if the stocks never retreat back to the "buy" level, or takes way too long to do so? Sit in cash, and use up your capital which is making below-inflation returns? I have a friend who was looking to bail when the S&P 500 was at 1800. Now it is over 2300.

A feasibility report that is based on hypotheticals and projections is not a balance sheet, showing actual funds. If I recall, that same feasibility report also stated that in even the most conservative of situations, CSU would be able to service their debt via revenues from the stadium and the private donations. CSU made their decisions based on the most conservative estimates."The $220 million was 100% borrowed so therefore there are debt payments that include interest that started in 2016- where did that money come from." Again, I don't know how to make this any more clear, someone above me cited the exact text but it's right there in writing: " Bond payments (which would include interest) would be paid from stadium revenues and private donations (of which there is at least ~$60million)".

Everyone reacts differently to grief. There is audio of Trump on a similiar call, and he sounded okay to me, not mean. As for Johnson, I can't pass judgement on her feelings, it did upset the family and friends listening on speakerphone. However, Trump's words as reported, were not awful, just awkward -- and I believe he meant well. Again, everyone reacts differently to grief. However, leaving aside the one call, in the rest of the Trump saga with Gold Star families, Puerto Rico, etc. -- he doesn't help himself. He needs to develop a thicker skin -- as his reactions to any negative opinion requires compassion, self-knowledge and a conscience. He makes himself appear to lack all three.

Corvallis and McMinnville are off the I-5 corridor, and not served with major RR, so less accessible to those hitching, rail riding or on foot. I lived in Corvallis area for quite a while, albeit almost 20 years ago, and as pleasant a place as it was/is, there are still places in the parks and outskirts where you really don't want to go alone or at night.

Not when it tries to think for me on matters of natural law. It is free to make an argument, but don't claim that it has a superior ability in this area when serious analysis and science say otherwise. This may shock you, but I am as much a member of the Catholic Church as Cardinal Burke, Archbishop Chaput, Pope Francis and Jay Edward, as well their mothers. The Clergy can certainly Mass and say how it is to be said fairly unilaterally, but it is out of its league on sex, including imposing Continence on priests, which is an insult to human sexuality.
