Slow "news" day? So what exactly is the point of this article? That the dastardly oil companies actually assist their management employees move? That somehow if they didn't, these people would be forced to stay in AK and Realtors could continue pushing unrealistic prices? Or is this another innuendo regarding a disparity between economic classes of people, another 'privilege' of sorts that shouldn't happen? The fact is, the economy is down. Alaska has always had a boom or bust economy and, with the exception of the men who designed the Permanent Fund, we have to also suffer with generations of politicians who have little concept of this cycle. Politicians not just at the State level but from the dog catcher up. The same is true in the private sector, any time there is a boom, the toys in the driveway increase and later the for sale signs go up. If only someone would teach economics 101 to these people!

What the G&M fails to report when using Angus Reid Forum "polls" is that they are garbage as far as reflecting what Canadians think. . Angus Reid Forum members fill out "surveys" (even AR doesn't refer to them as POLLS which implies a random sample) but the G&M always refers to them IN THE HEADING as POLLS. ANGUS REID MEMBERS FILL OUT SURVEYS IN THE HOPE OF WINNING CASH AND PRIZES !!! THIS IS A VERY SKEWED SAMPLE AND DOES NOT REPRESENT A CROSS SECTION OF CANADIANS.

And yet you haven't provided a shred of evidence that this is not the nocebo effect. In medical science - for something to be proven true, it must be proven to have a BIGGER effect than you get just by believing it's true. What you're describing sounds exactly like the (many times experimentally confirmed) results of a combination of the nocebo effect with mass hysteria. You're not an idiot for being convinced - all humans are subject to placebo and nocebo effects and they have real, biological, and physical effects on the body - they cause real symptoms. Mass hysteria happens in any disease outbreak (even a nocebo one) - and you always have patients showing up with full symptoms and yet no sign of the infection that their neighbours have. When your mind believes you are ill, your body develops the symptoms it expects the disease to have. This is probably an evolved defense mechanism - to get help BEFORE the symptoms would appear. But it least to false positives.

This is the sort of analysis that validates the skepticism of the likes of me when we hear of the incredible amounts of money swept up by the likes of Google and Facebook. Particularly implausible is the money spent advertising on smartphones where ads are never anything but an irritation. More investigation of the sort described in this article ought to bring those companies back to the ground. But by the same token one can question the way advertising money is spent uncritically on TV. Take Canada's only investment/business channel. I watch it quite a bit but some of the shows I do watch consistently have such a god-awful host that I record them, then Fast Forward through skipping all but a few minutes (sometimes 0) of content that is of particular interest to me. Do advertisers take these aspects into consideration when they hire specialized companies to allocate their budget to different outlets?

"We still believe that the best course for Alaska and our nation is to repeal and repair the ACA." After 7 years of "repeal and replace," these jokers have modified their language in response to focus group pressure. They don't have a plan to bring down the costs of health care in this country, only to shift the costs (and blame) elsewhere. Alaska was first in the nation with tort reform. We can all see how much that has helped. Let's do ourselves a favor and "repeal and repair" both of these guys out of office!

One would think that when they started depositing the perverts in the retirement home, they would have realized that having teenagers serving them meals might not be a good idea. But that would have shown some concern for children before the fact. But we all know that concern for children is of no concern. We found that out when they shuffled abusive priests from parish to parish to avoid detection.

But why should faith affiliated institutions be judged unfairly or fractionalized for their moral convictions because the employees of these institutions were unable to understand them when they first applied for a job?

Great point and please ensure the it is rigorous peer review outside of the echo chamber of extremist Gender Studies Colleagues. Layl24 is correct that these 'studies' so corrupt the data sets to include ludicrous definitions of 'sexual assault' combined with sloppy questionnaires to collect the data. How about Christina Hoff Summers being included in the rigor of follow up. No one supports the sexual assault of another human being. It is not, however, an opposing position to support the premise in Canada's Legal system of innocence until guilt is conclusively proven. Inserting a bias into either the Police or the legal systems only introduces a corrosive source for corruption.

Shop, I didn't know that but it fits. And I have my thoughts on why rail is a bad idea, e.g., won't be used because of inconvenience, won't alleviate traffic as it encourages developers to build even more, will increase in construction cost as we have been continually misinformed deliberately (lied to) to keep the push back down, and it will cost more to future generations as ridership will not offset the O&M costs. But I could be wrong. I'm interested in finding out the rationale behind the concept that it "needs" to be built.

The French see it this way. "Marriage is none other than a civil contract." And that, oddly enough, found its way into the Louisiana Code of Louisiana, regions of which are heavily Catholic. But it is not the Catholic way of seeing marriage.

"...how to do liturgy in the 21st century." This is the key challenge and the context which will make a 21st century wordsmithing truly incarnational. I appreciate the global and galactic beauty of the words in Fr. Daly's drafts but one of the problems in todays liturgy is the incredible one-sided wordiness, often delivered so badly as to escape any hope of prayerfulness. Too often it is an endurance trial for adults and children. We are a long way from the intimacy of house churches but somehow we have to reclaim that intimacy and open up to real, not token, involvement. Lately, the liturgical directives are hardening up the boundaries between lay and ordained during Eucharist, ironically re-constructing an invisible but no less divisive "communion rail". People of faith are clinging to the reception of their wafer -thin Christ, but losing a sense of being the Body of Christ. It is getting harder and harder to sit through the performances.

Bottom line here folks, what any one else believes, what ever their heart tells them is true, is not mine, nor is it your business. Believe what you choose to, just please try and understand we have the freedom to believe what we want, the line is drawn when those beliefs result in actions infringing on others safety.

We have been down this road before during the Reagan administration when Democrats lied to him about the immigration bill. The Democrats are looking at 800,000 potential voters if a compromise is reached. Trust me, Democrats will get credit for anything close to amnesty. Trump is a fool if he think his "Art of the Deal" applies to Democrats. When half of the negotiating partners are liars, there is no "deal", only swindle. Trump is a disappointment on this move, so far. Trump is starting to lose his base with his lurch to the left and the giddy Democrats know it. Trump may go down as the worse Republican president since Hoover if this keeps up.

I've known several gay priests over the years. All were older, deeply closeted, and had originally entered the priesthood as a way of avoiding having to deal with the social pressures of getting married. All of them avoided coming out for the simple reason that they knew in advance that they'd be fired from their jobs if they did come out, celibate or not, just as lay employees are still getting fired from Catholic jobs in many cases simply for identifying as gay. Most of the gay priests I've known were very good at their jobs, some were just marking time until retirement and fed up with the church, but too old to get out and try to find some new way to make a living. That's been my limited experience, but I suspect it is not unique.

Indeed - I was concentrating on MSW's articles, and you are quite correct. The argument with Bill was concerning the attendance of the conference. He had an issue with Cypress' numbers - which according to your citation were actually pretty accurate. It would appear he owes Cypress an apology.... Perhaps there is a misunderstanding concerning this conference. IF it was simply people of like mind talking to each other, that is one thing... I was under the impression it was a seminar open for people to attend - if that is the case, then I was wondering what the attendance was. Thank you for pointing out Fr. Keenan's article. It disappeared rather quickly I guess in the plethora of articles from MSW and McElwee, and since only a "handful of news outlets" (although I have only seen reports from like-minded NCR) were invited, it seems whatever message they were hoping to publicize may be rather hidden.

Lots of people get around by walking, biking and transit. Plenty more would do so if we invested in those modes instead of pouring money into infrastructure for cars, the most expensive and lease efficient mode possible. If you want to put money in proportional to the share of population that can use it, you put the majority to pedestrian infrastructure, all people can use that. Next you put money to transit, all people can use that. Then bicycle infrastructure, more people can use that than can drive a car. Build road space for commercial vehicles, but that will only take a couple lanes, not the 12 lane monstrosities we plow through our cites for commuters. Private cars come last. Further, commercial vehicles should be paying gas/mileage tax high enough to cover the building and maintenance of the roads they use, then they and their customers pay for the roads needed, not regressive taxes on everyone that are unrelated to how much they benefit.

< One never loses siding with solid bishops, of whom Cardinal Bernadin was not.> Your attempt to smear Cardinal Bernardin failed -- and you did all the heavy lifting to sink your own smear. In fact, Cardinal Bernardin was a great priest and bishop whose contributions to the church were significant and long-lasting. Those who knew him well -- I didn't -- speak of his kindness and his holiness. When you posted a link to an article that supports my position, not yours, I was amused, of course. But I also realized that you either had not read the article, or thought that I wouldn't.

It is unbelievable the amount of support dairy and poultry producers get. Our supply management producers are subsidized far more than the Americans. They hide behind massive Tarriffs and set prices high. As a pork and grain producer I have to compete on a world market. I have to be competive with american farmers. I don't see why dairy and poultry can't do the same. Most agriculture products produced in Canada are exported. Supply management makes up less than 20% of Canadian farmers. The majority of Canadian farmers have competive business models and don't get to hide behind massive tariffs and cartel. We should be represented at the negotiations not just supply management. It is great to have a Canadian dairy and poultry but we should not have to pay twice as much for it and it should not inhibit the export markets that create countless jobs and the majority of us rely on.

Thanks for the thoughtful article Mike. Your level minded approach to this sad story left me reminiscing on the good ol' days of the Kenai and wondering ....how many nasty comments will this piece of solid journalism evoke? As it had in Homer with the Halibut craze, the Kenai succumbed to commercial interests. That is: short-term profit at the expense of long-term sustainability. As one who grew up on the banks of the Kenai in the 80's and 90's we had a front row seat to the madness. Just how many 130-pound Halibut can you pluck out of Halibut Hole or 65 pound Chinook's between Eagle Rock and Big Eddy before demand overwhelms supply? I blame no one specifically for the loss. It's just a case of human nature....or maybe it is Obama's fault? Maybe we could learn a lesson and protect what we still have? Or maybe we should break out a few open pit mines at the headwater's?
