Wie has the physical capabilities to be a golf champion but something is not quite not there in the mental toughness area. Don't keep up with Wie or womens golf but do know when Wie was young her UH professor father was her coach & has had a string of coaches. Too many dynamics going on with Wie including the aspect of the father living vicariously through her daughter in her formative years. Yes, Wie has made lots of money to support herself & her parents but would like to see her one day put it mentally & physically together for her to win some of these tournament to reach her full potential. Parents mean well, but seems they cannot step back and find a golf coach, a former champion him/herself who understands the philosophy & technique of being an effective coach for Wie to giver her the tools to get her to reach the next level. Sort of like the movie Karate Kid & how Pat Morita enabled Ralph Macchio to defeat a bull & win a Karate tournament w/ technique & the right attitude.

Buster (et al.) To begin, there is NO way, under American or any other known system of justice, to properly serve "justice" for the loss of a limb, one's innocence, or even pain. Like it or not, we've settled on a system where the best we can do is to offer money or property. That's far from perfect, but the usual alternative is "an eye for an eye..." So if the complaint is that money isn't appropriate, you're probably right. Alas, nobody has yet found a better solution. As to complaints that priests haven't had their day in court, the VAST majority of the blame there is the bishops. They've done all they could to keep cases OUT of the courts, and all too sadly, they did that on the backs of the victims and their families. That's also a scandal. Finally, there's this. At the end of the day, bishops ARE supposed to be better: moral leaders, knights for justice, fonts of compassion, etc. They've fallen short on every level. Their refusal to accept accountability says it all.

on the face of it, the article does not give much detail on the actual claims made by the workers - just broad statements. it also sates that the Ilikai is a MIXED-USE building with both hotel rooms and residential units. now part of the staffing and task problem may stem from that one particular dichotomy. the Ilikai personnel may be comparing themselves to pure hotel establishments. as pure hotel establishments, the personnel has to deal with only one type of "guest" accommodations which may be more rigidly planned and designed to be more uniform. my interpretation (not professional) is that the residential type accommodations may tend to be more furnished and have more floor space due to the more personal nature of the ownership and use. if the Ilikai personnel is caring for both types of units then i can see the difference in the work loads. now if the residents had to care for or pay someone to do their housekeeping which was in addition to the "regular/normal" duties.

It would be interesting to know if there is a "red line" and if there is, exactly what it is. This morning NK said that the last launch over Japan was preparation for an attack on Guam. Violating Japan's air space and international law is something NK can get away with, but maybe Guam would be a missile launch too far. The NK provocations are providing cover for both Iran and Pakistan to expand their WMD and ICBM programs as well while they cooperate with NK to advance their weapons' systems. Your "funny" reaction to the world lurching toward war is odd, but it is not unusual among DP readers and staff, the vast majority of which do not care if the US is destroyed or not. Indeed, domestically, they are doing their best to destroy America with politically-correct nonsense. BTW. For the 12th time, have come to a conclusion about GMD defense? One theory about why Patriot and Aegis missiles were not deployed against the NK missile that flew over Japan is that they don't work.

As a matter of fact, a large number of comments who favour the ban and call the niquab what it actually is (which I will not repeat so I don't have my comment erased again) have been deleted by the G&M. If a poll or a referendum were conducted, 90% of Canadians would be against the niquab. On the other hand 100% of the articles and editorials on CBC and G&M support the blessings of the niquab.

Nthing in this article states or implies that union membership had anything to do with the decision to close the plant. There's less farming going on here in favor of other development and traffic to Seattle is a nightmare cost wise. Union workers and non union workers lose jobs for a variety of reasons and there's little to no evidence that unionization leads to job losses at a greater rate than non union positions, Boeing is laying off non union workers in North Carolina too. However deregulation and pro corporate tax policies tend to result in lower paying employment with higher turnover and job loss. Nice try though.

“A person who wants to kill themselves, will kill themselves,” Olsen said. But all suicides are not from people truly wanting to kill themselves. Guns do increase the success rate, unfortunately. Like most rules, there has to be a weighing of how this may deprive some people of their 2nd amendment rights to own a gun versus how this may save the lives of murder-suicide victims and suicides that may have lived if guns were not available. My inclination is to be on the safe side, but for others the 2nd amendment might be more of a priority.

I find it amazing that when the White House announced that Trump wanted to meet Francis that the Pope had to publicly announce that no one had contacted the Vatican. Francis had to tell the world the protocol for setting up a Papal audience that Trump had not followed. Malign-ia will not be able to make the journey because of baby sitting duties. In her place Trump will be accompanied by his assistant Iyankya (sporting a Hugo Boss designed black copa cabana magna and matching stilettos). trump plans to upstage Queen Elizabeth's gift to Francis by presenting him with three cases of Viginia's finest trump brand wine and a box of steaks.

That would reveal heresy, not apostacy. Apostacy is if an al Queda or Daesh terror squad kidnapped you while on foreign travel and commanded you convert or die and you converted or if I were elected and my secularist comrades came to you and demanded you renounce God in order to keep working in a socialized cooperative that used to be where you work or you would be fired. Not quitting would be apostacy. Quit using the term incorrectly. It does not mean dissent or even academic curiousity. If you are copying some bishop or pope who used it the wrong way, it is still a misuse of the term.

Perhaps you should check your own "facts." Votes cast in advance are not counted on election day. And unless there are sufficient of them cast in any given riding to alter the outcome, they are never counted. Example: Candidate A = 1500 votes on election day Candidate B = 1000 votes on election day Advance votes = 250 in total The total number of advance votes cannot change the outcome of the election, so they aren't even counted. On the other hand, if Candidate B had 1200 votes to Candidate A's 1300, the advance votes would be counted. You're welcome.

Please give more effort to reading than merely recalling one's favorite and narrow interpretation, influenced by SJW theology. The entire Scripture is the word of God, by the way. Perhaps you might want to reflect on Matthew 25 (or Matthew 13:47-52) “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." Revelations (Word of God) 21: "8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur." or St Jude 1-7: " In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire." Or Jesus's teaching St Matthew 5:27-29, specifically on sexual immorality: http://www.usccb.org/bible/matthew/5

You would have to read the article, VCifuentes. Immunization for many communicable diseases does not effectively exist if the immunized person lives in an un-immunized population. Very high numbers - 70% to 95% of the population (the "herd") - must be immunized. It seems likely to me, a layperson in the matter, that urban and suburban population densities are not possible without immunization and other public health programs like water treatment. Ants seem to be able to live in very high population densities, but humans and other large mammals and birds cannot. Ask any farmer about farm animals, and what a risk it is to bring a non-immunized animal into the herd. If the herd is not nearly completely immunized, and the new animal is carrying a communicable disease, the herd could all be gone in a month. 300 people on an airplane or in a seniors long term care home, a hundred children in a school, a few thousand wandering a mall, tourist site, or religious convention, are all herds.

Left out of this historical rendition is the fact that the U.S.A. through its "intelligence" agencies funded and armed Bin Laden's complement of terrorists as part of the Cold War with the USSR. Unlimited funds buried in the classified budgeting for the forever war components of our secret, black operation armies created Bin Laden and continue to waste resources throughout the world. Worst of all, Dick Cheney ordered the Bin Laden family living or visiting the U.S. to be flown out of the country while all other airplanes were grounded on and after 9/11. The administration knew the perpetrators were Saudi Arabian and connected to Bin Laden. Their oil connections to Saudi Arabia were more important than the country's security.

My forefathers fought for American independence in the actual Revolution. Be it noted, the Revolution was fought with firearms and the first shots were fired when the Brits foolishly tried to seize the arms of the colonists. The foundation of the Second Amendment is that citizens here are sovereign, not the government, which was intended to be subservient. We do not need, or appreciate, advice from a member of the House of Lords on the meaning of our founding charters, much less on what measures ought to be adopted here to eliminate our civil right to do what freemen have always done: keep and bear arms.

Are you daring to suggest that Trudeau's brains are in his Butts? If that is so, perhaps The Clown Prince should have said that we will grow the economy outward from our butts instead of from our hearts. And while I agree that Butts is by far the brainier of this duo, the PM's arrogance, petulance, impatience to get his own way and disdain for others is inherited from Papa Pierre. So Trudeau 2.0 shares the blame and is ultimately responsible for the cynical power grab machinations since he was elected and cannot simply pass the buck to Butts. But thanks for reminding me of the popular British sitcom "Yes, Prime Minister" in which the chief of staff/permanent secretary Sir Humphrey wears the long pants and the PM is basically a shallow figurehead.

Kimonos are offensive?! When I visited Japan, a highlight in Kyoto was going to a place that dressed us up as geishas and samurais. There were also young Japanese doing the same thing, dressing up in costumes they no longer get to wear in everyday life, trying to recapture some of what that would have felt like. We walked out to get photos taken, and Japanese people walking by smiled at us, realizing this was an act of appreciation for an amazing culture, not an insult. Dressing up in period costumes or the clothing of a different culture isn't necessarily "appropriation" or insult, it can be homage. It's all in the context and the intent, but I guess that's too subtle for the PC police.

Makes you wonder the way sociologists and politicians speak if there's the expectation for law abiding ctitzens to adapt to the criminal element on the streets with there being so much in the news saying guards and the prisoners themselves can't deal with it in prisons. Where's the old neighborhood when we used to be able to go to bed at night with our doors unlocked and even duriing daylight hours?
