Sheri,
Ever noticed all of the large, beautiful trees throughout the City of Eugene as you go about your daily activities? Many homeowners will not hire a professional arborist to assess the health of the large trees residing on their properties. Unfortunately for some, they found out that large, beautiful tree near the power line in the back yard wasn't so healthy when this freak ice storm passed through the area and their tree toppled over onto the power line . In addition to all of the trees, some of the power lines could not handle the extreme weight of the ice and came down.
Don't blame EWEB crews for your power not being restored yet, they are working their behinds off as fast as they can to get your power back. Also, in order to work safely, they have to get rest, too; working in freezing temperatures in the middle of the night fatigues the body much faster than working in temperatures normal for this time of year.
I do hope your power is restored soon,

I find it odd that UA would ignore the Capitol Report dated June 12 that states “The second
Language item expressed the House’s intent that any general fund budget reductions or reallocations at the three universities not exceed the percentage of reductions made at statewide administration. This language was adopted by the committee." http://www.legfin.akleg.gov/BudgetReports/LY2017/Operating/CCMotion/ConferenceCommitteeAction6-10.pdf See page 10.
In today's BOR meeting the following was shown to be what UA actually intends to do is to completely ignore the Capitol Report which was adopted by the Operating Budget Conference Committee. Sounds to me like UA Statewide is on their own program and would rather eliminate or reduce the educational capabilities of UAA, UAF, and UAS instead of reducing their own budget the way the house intended.

State Allocation $317.0
Program & Service Reductions $6.0 (1)

This new dubious repeal effort of Obamacare is yet another scenario provided by the GOP in their seven-year quest to undo the last president's most notable accomplishment. A health care plan needs to have universal participation in order to spread the financial burden among the widest population of the insured, lowing premium costs for everyone. Up to 16 million Americans could be left without insurance by 2026 under this new Republican scheme. A "skinny" repeal is really a desperate ploy served up by a political party lean on really innovative ideas. | 0 | not toxic |

I think that illegal immigrants would be granted a fairer trial if they were incarcerated in their own country by their nation's laws. They shouldn't be allowed to play the race card to get out of trouble when they commit crimes.

Has anyone heard of the 4% rule? It says that you can safely withdraw 4% per year without depleting it. So guess what? If the legislature withdraws 5.5% and pays a $1000 dividend they will deplete the fund in less than 30 years. By 2046 the Permanent Fund will be gone! This senate proposal is a bad idea.........Here is my idea for anyone interested - Put ALL STATE REVENUE AND SAVINGS into the Permanent Fund raising the fund to around $70 Billion. Then pay the State 4% of the fund balance every year which would be $2.8 billion based on the current balance as I have laid out. In years when the fund makes more than 6%, after giving the State their 4%, then inflation proof the fund and distribute the remainder of the earnings as a dividend to the citizens. My approach will keep the fund healthy for decades to come. Of course, Alaska citizens will experience the pain of a greatly reduced dividend and the State will have less to spend but in 30 years we will still have a Permanent Fund! | 0 | not toxic |

Hi Anon, I posted about this piece earlier! I find it plausible, so I'd be interested in counterarguments. Zunger's case is built on information in the public domain from credible sources: Reuters, CNN, the Guardian, and so on (but then, that's the stuff of conspiracy theory!). The facts seem pretty stable. That leaves the analysis, which focuses on three elements:
1) the immigration executive order, attributed to Steve Bannon, that created confusion and chaos, sucked up media oxygen, and destabilized checks and balances;
2) the small number of powerbrokers in Trump's inner circle;
3) follow the money.
I'm again reminded, as I've mentioned several times in these threads, of the monumental import in 1933 of the intrigues of a small group of political actors that led to the unlikely installation of Hitler as Chancellor. Before the usual protests arise, I'm not comparing our present situation to the Weimar Republic-Third Reich. The point is: a cabal can change the course of history. | 0 | not toxic |

As an addendum to my above post, in the early 1990's, following the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russian historians, having unprecedented access to the former government's archives, published the Soviet Armed Forces battle plan in the event of war against the NATO forces. It called for:
1. An "immediate pre-emptive" nuclear strike on all NATO bases in West Germany AND on the six largest cities in West Germany, none of which possessed even nominal military interest.
2. A simultaneous warning to Great Britain and France that their homelands would be spared an nuclear attack only if they were to "stand down" their own nuclear forces.
3. A warning to the United States and all NATO forces that the "limited nuclear phase" had ended, that the "non-nuclear phase" was still in force, and that "nuclear retaliation" on the part of NATO would lead to "generalized nuclear war".
With the "putinization" of the Russian Federation, said archives are no longer available. | 0 | not toxic |
I'm betting on the women, collectively, to vote for Clinton. They are the majority of registered voters. They have voted in greater absolute numbers than males in all recent presidential elections.

Better talent in the starting rotation and the bullpen is obviously the biggest factor in the 2017 team's performance.

Mr. Trump can do nothing to bring back those jobs. Unfortunately there are going to be victims as manufacturing shifts away from established local industries. These people shouldn't be left for the scrap heap when billions of tax dollars can be wrung out of the financial industry to provide re-training and guaranteed income. There has to be a leveling out of the wealth generated in segments of the economy that are doing well to support those being left behind.

What a pitiful, plaintive commentary on a once proud profession.
One wonders what children learn from this charade.
Taxpayers learn (again) that education-industry officials and union counterparts are far more interested in getting money than in educating students.
Taxpayers may have to learn how to fight back through disenrollments, property-tax strikes, picketing, information campaigns until a forensic audit of school-district finances and management practices is commissioned.
Teachers may have to help by blowing the whistle on every bit of fraud, waste, and mismanagement they can document.
Anchorage's education-industry problem can be fixed, but it --will not-- be fixed by pouring more money over troubled waters or by trusting the present management-union-school board cabal to make things right.

"Everything" fit into the taxes when I was younger. It seemed to be an objective in those days. Now, our fiscal policy "saves the world from financial meltdown", so the directors of it are afraid to do what is right, all while skimming their own from the top. And the bottom. And in all places in between. For themselves, and, (choke), certain others.

KS also has a decades long history of opposing everything and anything to do with gender orientation equality.
From a 2008 G&M article, she is on record as opposing the use of books in schools portraying gay couples, and she advocates a declaration of rights that students not be taught that homosexuality is normal.
I am proud of my kids accepting attitudes, and that they are easily able to see through ignorance. One of their friends was disowned by his mother when he came out as gay, and that lesson in injustice did more than anything else to impress upon them fairness, tolerance, and compassion.

You jumped in on a reply to a post that teachers were ‘living in poverty’ with this gem.
“So as long as experienced teachers with masters degrees and national board certifications fall above the poverty line - you think they're being paid a fair wage?”
That certainly implies to any reader that you agreed with the original posters contention that teachers live in poverty.
I think the teachers salary schedule should be looked at but the teachers union and a VERY large group of teachers insist on being treated like unskilled labor where they all get a step increase or no one does. If teachers were evaluated on their merit and paid based on their evaluations like Douglas County implemented great teachers could be at the cap of the salary schedule in 10 years rather than 30. They could be at the mid point in 3 not 12. | 0 | not toxic |
