Some points:
Colin Kaepernick is a multi millionaire but in the last two-three weeks BEFORE Trump's comments, the media has been treating him as a poor victim.
Colin could have protested in MANY WAYS including by actually protesting the police rather than the American flag.
Colin did one of his first press conferences on this issue in a FIDEL CASTRO t shirt.
Colin wore police pig socks to mock the police in front of the media.
Colin pissed off 72% of the nation, including many minorities
Colin is terrible at public relations and DID NOTHING to help his cause

I'm very dissapointed in Premier Wynne's choice not to allow Toronto to put tolls on the roadwork. Her comment of waiting for alternate ways for transit is not well thought out. It is a knee jerk reaction looking for the populist vote and more and more seems the way that ALL POLITICIANS react when their is confrontation to less popular ideas. Tory had taken the high road. Looking for a long term solution that yes many people would not like. After a while these unpopular ideas that were brought up for the greater good of all fosters better transit ideas.
Wynne's comments of waiting for other options to come up will never take hold because there would be no urgency to work towards balanced solutions. Only use ALL ONTARIO TAXPAYERS MONEY to fund her solution that will only lead to more confrontations about the issue.
It's about time that we as taxpayers start paying attention to what solutions are needed long term and for politicians stopping making short term fixes that waste our money

Это русскоязычная Википедия, здесь никто никого не слышит! Здесь нет своей британики, как в англ. Википедии, здесь куча энциклопедий с кучей данных которые противоречат с другими данными из других энциклопедий! Есть советские энциклопедии с советскими данными, есть новодел российский, полностью опровергающий БСЭ скажем, есть миллиард иностранных энциклопедий как например узбекские, где басмачи хорошие пацаны, а русские оккупанты и т.д. И все они АИ. К примеру для меня историка по образованию, сродни идиотизму теория о том что Динлины - иранцы, но ничего не плачу же как Вы, ибо понимаю что это не англ. Википедия а всего лишь русскоязычная Вики, забитая русскими арийцами и армянскими знатоками тюрков. Edulat (обс.)

So true. The radical eco-zealotss cannot wrap their minds around the fact that if petroleum is not produced and shipped from here, it will come from elsewhere, probably with lower environmental and safety standards. No other petroleum-producing jurisdiction on Earth has an economy-wide carbon tax, as Alberta will in 2017.

Two U.S. Presidents turned away from previous offers of annexation until the third, President McKinley, wanted to accept this one. But, it first had to be accepted by Congress. If he sought to have it approved only by the Senate it would require a 2/3rds vote majority. McKinley wasn't sure if he had enough votes to do that. Yes the "petition" out there but given little weight, but racist white people in the Southern States were somewhat against allowing a mostly brown skin state, with an additional Asian issue into the Union. So, after discussion with Congressional leadership he decided to use the Congressional-Executive Agreement method of approval that would require 50% plus one vote by both the House and the Senate, and signed by the President.
Most recently Bill Clinton used this method to pass the NAFTA treaty during his administration.
To everyone's surprise the vote in the House was 209-91 (way over 2/3rds) approval, and 42-21 in the Senate (exactly 2/3rds majority).

RCMP lacked warrants for Stingray phone catchers in handful of cases: Watchdog - nationalpost
In a stunning revelation of total RCMP lawlessness by the privacy watchdog, 6 known instances are on file, of RCMP usurping the courts, breaching the charter and conducting illegal surveillance on Canadian citizens.
Canadians await the arrival of RCMP integrity, to begin investigations and potentially lay charges against those officers and supervision that engaged in this unlawful activity. Right? Hello RCMP?

"Force-selling credit to you for the purpose of putting you in debt for life?" Come on, that's away over the top. The agent was selling in order to hike his commission or fulfill a target, not to "put you in debt for life."
Consent is a central question here, as it is in other areas nearly as sensitive as cash. If the salesperson felt unable to to reach the assigned target, then "no" would have been the right answer -- not "force-selling" or (worse still) raising credit limits or moving customers to pricier accounts on the sly. These are the illegal actions of individual employees. I doubt very much that TD promotes and condones institutionalized fraud.
Customers are responsible for consent too. Rather than being passively conned and sheared like sheep, the simple word "no" works wonders. Do try it.
The angry and alienated are always with us. It seems the CBC turned over some rocks and found a few. I guess they had targets to fulfill too. Shame on them for their muck-raking.

We’re all past the point of digesting Nicki Minaj’s questionable personal style and overt sexuality; its not for everyone and pretty much is what it is. I’m not on “Team Barbie” but there’s something about Nicki that I like — she’s cute, does what she wants, has a few great verses and owns her sexuality in a way that just barely fits with empowered feminism. Still, as much as I “like” her, I can only listen to so much of her music and look at so much of her booty flashing before I feel as ridiculous as she looks with super-pale pink lipstick on.
Her new video, “Stupid Hoe” is just straight up confusing and makes me think that she may have jumped her own shark. Not only does the song itself sound like a more-vulgar version of her Big Sean collaboration “A$$” — and I mean just like it — but watching the video kind of feels like torture — I mean the Clockwork Orange, Guantanamo Bay kind. See for yourself but please note, the video posted below is the explicit version because I don’t think there would be enough words left to understand it if the dirty words were removed.
Is anyone else as confused as I am after watching this? Is this whole song a Lil’ Kim diss (stupid hoes is my enemy/stupid hoes is so wack/stupid hoe shoulda befriended me/then she coulda prolly came back)? Because the idea that Nicki Minaj is devoting any music whatsoever to perpetuating beef between the two of them hurts my soul and feels like little more than a hip-hop Real Housewives brand of drama. I get the Grace Jones reference and don’t find it as ridiculous as some of the other imagery she uses, but there’s something about this video that feels like the parody of a Nicki Minaj video and not the real video itself.
It’s worth noting that this video has over seven million views on YouTube already, but around 60,000 likes and 120,000 dislikes. I can’t tell if folks aren’t feeling it because of the aural assault from the track, the lazy rhymes, the epileptic camera work, or simply because of lameness of a title like “Stupid Hoe.” It’s all a bit embarrassing. Every artist releases a dud here and there, but has Nicki Minaj gone completely off the rails with this one?

Ho Hum. All incoming LEGAL immigrants should follow this:
In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American ... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag ... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language ... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

: Oppose. There is a reason to use his name - it is the name of the person discussed in the article. Emir is a generic title and titles aren't normally used to begin Wiki article titles about persons. Moreover, Abd al-Qadir is a common first name. A cursory glance of the history of Islamic states will reveal a lot of emirs, greater and lesser, named Abd al-Qadir. What you are proposing is akin to renaming James I of England to simply King James, simply because some local things are named after him (e.g. King James Bible). Finally, why do you spell it Abdelkader? There is better reasons to use the transliterated Abd al-Qadir rather than Spanish/French spelling.

Hi, ann strahl. I sympathize. Like you, I am "frequently appalled" at the relatively radical posture of 2 of my 30-something daughters around issues of gender and, specifically, the Ghomeshi trial and the Hillary Clinton defeat.
Mine are university grads, mature, professional women but now in their early 30s and they STILL don't get it. They'd love to make an exception to "innocent until proven guilty" in the Ghomeshi's case. They simply dismiss thoughts that witnesses couldn't be trusted and post "I believe" facebook stuff. The outpouring of anguish at Trump's victory and Clinton's "victimhood" is jaw-dropping.
I'll say what millions of parents say: Where did I go wrong??

All things considered the three hours or so taken for the discussion and vote was fair and square. What seems so obvious to me is that when you witness such polarization in the discussion the best course of action is for someone, to move that the matter be referred back to the relevant committee for further study asking to take into account all the concerns raised. That document should not have been approved but sent back to be improved. The GC president himself could have taken the lead on that and made the motion. Failing all that, either Dr Ryan or the chair could have suggested it to the delegates. At any rate Dr Ryan did promise that this was the beginning of a process. The mere fact that consequences were not voted shows that this document is a work in progress. They are in uncharted waters and things must not be rushed. I am quite confident in the prayerful, democratic process. Unity and love will prevail in the end. Where there is a will there is a way. Everyone means well. PTL

Very interesting perspective. Over the last three months, I've immersed myself in the work of Ken Wilber including a 10-week training by him. His work is spot-on for what you are recommending regarding a new state of evolution in thinking/consciousness. I discovered him through Cynthia Bourgeault's "The Wisdom Jesus" (best theology book I've ever read) and Richard Rohr. Wilber has a new book out, "The Religion of Tomorrow" that is supposed to be amazing.
What does this mean for the Roman Catholic Church? I think we are now experiencing a major shift and either the Church dramatically responds to the leadership of Francis and revitalizes the unfinished of Vatican II or it will morph into a sect. The guilt-shame-blame game just doesn't work anymore more. Time for graduate school religion and experiential Christ consciousness

Of course they ignored them! If not...you had better tell all of the analysts, Democratic Committee, and Bill Clinton, who admit that they did....
She assumed that their traditional white, blue collar workers would automatically stay in line...and they didn't. It's what happens when you assume. As I said elsewhere, she didn't even bother to go Michigan until it was too late, assumed social issues were more important than job issues, and stayed in her comfort zones like Hollywood and Southampton at fundraisers. She ran a terrible campaign - and her campaign admits it. She concentrated on cities and forgot the foundation. She blew it.

Q:
Spicket or spigot?
I recently was making a list and for the first time using a digital device, typed in what I grew up referring to an outdoor faucet 'spicket' as into my iPad.
My mother grew up in Utah and my father in. Nebraska, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho. Mom's parents in Salt Lake and Central Utah while Dad's parents in Tennessee and the Western states.
I looked up how to spell spicket and for the first time in my 35 year teaching career found again that I have been mispronouncing and misspelling a word.
I am wondering which parts of the country use spigot and who says spicket?
Who knew?
A:
spicket
Definition of spicket
chiefly South & Midland [Middle USA] : spigot
(Merriam Webster)
Do you use "spigot" or "spicket" to refer to a faucet or tap that water comes out of?
a. spicket (6.38%)
b. spigot (66.89%)
c. I use both interchangeably (2.52%)
d. I say "spicket" but spell it "spigot" (12.64%)
(Vaux, Bert and Scott Golder. 2003. The Harvard Dialect Survey. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Linguistics Department).
A:
In a comment, John Lawler wrote:
Just as /d/ and /t/ neutralize after a stressed vowel before an unstressed one (writer/rider, catty/caddy), so do /ɡ/ and /k/, and for the same reason -- vowels are voiced and tend to voice consonants between them, especially short consonants like voiceless stops. This means that it's very hard to hear the difference in that context, and therefore usually not worth making the effort to distinguish them in speech. It isn't, afaik, a geographic phenomenon, just a personal one, though it may be socioeconomic in some cases.

Spicket is very common in the "Pittsburghese" dialect spoken in western pennsylvania, but it is clearly a corruption of "spigot".

I like that argument - it's perfectly valid: Parents who force their non-gender bias on their children, such as deliberately avoiding or concealing or confusing the truth about their child's actual male or female sexuality, are violating their child's rights to know the truth about their gender and to be raised under that gender.

Current treatment for Sickle cell disease (SCD) and beta thalassemia is, at best, symptomatic involving blood transfusions, the use of drugs to remove iron and to control pain, and in cases with HLA-compatible siblings, bone marrow transplantation. Our studies and others, have shown that in both disorders, high levels of fetal hemoglobin (Hb F, alpha1gamma2) have a major beneficial effect. The ability to produce Hb F in response to disease varies enormously from patient to patient, and is one of the major factors underlying the remarkable diversity in the severity of these disorders. This has prompted an intense search for approaches to augment fetal hemoglobin production in patients with SCD and beta thalassemia, one of which involves the use of drugs such as hydroxyurea and butyrate analogues. However, these agents are limited by their toxicity and they are effective in only a proportion of patients. The long term objective of this proposal is to obtain a better understanding of the genetic factors which modify fetal hemoglobin and F cell (FC) levels in normal adults and in response to disease. We have demonstrated for the first time that Hb F and F cell levels are highly heritable and transmitted as a complex genetic trait, influenced by several factors including a common sequence variant (C to T) in the Ggamma-promoter region, referred to as the Xmn1-Ggamma site. In earlier studies, as part of a systematic search for loci that may regulate gamma globin gene expression in beta thalassemia and SCD, we have identified an extensive kindred which includes individuals with beta thalassemia and hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH). A quantitative trait locus (QTL) modifying fetal Hb production has been mapped to chromosome 6q23 in this kindred but variance components analysis revealed that a significant amount of FC variance remained unaccounted for. Furthermore, other QTLs for Hb F and FC have been implicated in different family studies. The presence of the Xmn1-Ggamma site is a major determinant for FC levels, and its location suggests that it is involved in transcriptional activation of the Ggamma globin gene. A linkage re-analysis of the genome-wide data in the kindred was carried out under a two-locus genetic model, with one of the loci being the Xmn1-Ggamma site. A new locus on chromosome 8q has now been identified using this method. Now, in an integrated program, we propose to isolate and characterize the 8q QTL by three approaches: (1) positional (candidate) gene cloning, (2) functional cloning by complementation assays in transgenic mice, and (3) differential gene expression analysis, in parallel with the 6q project. The delineation of these genetic factors should increase our understanding of the trans-acting factors for the fine tuning in the control of Hb F production after birth in normal adults and in response to disease with implications for pharmacogenomics. The discovery of these factors may also suggest new approaches for therapeutic augmentation of fetal hemoglobin production in patients with SCD and beta thalassemia.

How about just SOME seating capacity, more than the little bench seats they have. Build seats for both sides of the dome. Also, does it have to be air supported? Can it be rebuilt like a dome that doesn't need air? And before you all bash me again, I am not saying 20,000 seats, just some seats to watch kids play football, soccer, etc.

It would be more honest if this article at least mentioned the rationale for refusing to allow this treatment. Put simply: there's no evidence that it might work (the doctors at his current hospital say that the treatment won't improve his quality of life, and even the US doctor proposing it described it as "uncharted territory"). Furthermore Charlie can't breathe without a ventilator so flying him across the Atlantic could cause difficulty and suffering.

I feel surprised by the very informal language used in this article (""..the plug was pulled.."") and feel that the interpretation of events guiding

My 7 year old is privately educated at a cost of 10 grand a year. He speaks French, English, reads, writes , has basic math skills and is being tought coding.
England allows parents to direct a portion of their education dollar to a learning facility of choice. Perhaps we should introduce the same policy and work to stomp out public unions in our education system. Simply put the enoumas salaries and benefits of the status quo are not sustainable.
The learning outcomes are grotesque given the cost.
Truly unlimited sick days , world class indexed pensions , early retirement, 100k plus a year, insane amount of paid time off and on and on. It's not necessary nor is it effective, why must we tolerate the collusion between Liberals and public
unions ???
When will people stand up and say enough !!!

Freedom and voting are actually connected. Yes, you cannot eat freedom but you can use it to enable you to to eat.
But why these poor people still keep voting for the system that only serves to benefit the few?

Those Pesky Bluejays
There is something about the Dunedin Bluejays that really pisses me off. It could be that their stadium is old and ugly, or it could be that their seats are uncomfortable. It could be that the beer is the smallest $5 beer in the history of the universe, or it could just be that they seem to always dominate the Threshers year-in and year-out. That could be it.
In any event…those damn Bluejays suck! Of course not so much on the baseball field as they downed the Threshers 10-2 on Friday night after a 12-6 drubbing they handed the Threshers on Thursday. Drew Naylor got his first start since being promoted from Lakewood where he had a 5-3 record with a 2.99 ERA and 97 strikeouts in 87.1 innings in the first half of 2008. Unfortunately all of the terrific numbers in the SAL did little to help his performance on Friday against the Jays. He was touched up for seven runs on seven hits, including two home runs with the Ks and 3 walks in five innings of work.
The SCHMIDT LIST award goes to Clay Harris for his 3-3 night with an RBI a run and a walk.

The RG has, I'm guessing, quite a choice of Editorial Cartoons to run. Mr Nelson doesn't suggest "censorship"; he suggests that the cartoon, which is emblematic of the efforts to distract the public's attention from the ongoing Mueller investigation, was neither "timely" or "pertinent". The letter has absolutely NOTHING to do with censorship. Gary Crum

As Americans go to the polls on Tuesday for primaries in five states, one big contingent that may wield tremendous influence is the small-business rank and file. The nation's 28 million small businesses represent 54 percent of all U.S. sales and have provided 55 percent of all jobs since the 1970s, according to the Small Business Administration. This should be a day of reckoning for the candidates as Main Street tries to get its voice heard. According to a recent Manta survey, a stunning 60 percent of small-business owners plan to vote in their state primaries and caucuses. Tuesday is a big day for the six presidential candidates in both parties to receive delegates, with voting taking place in Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio.
What's driving small-business owners to the voting booths? According to John Swanciger, CEO of Manta, a social network for small-business owners, "there are issues squeezing small-business owners from every side — the economy, taxes and health care. They are looking for a candidate who understands how their sector is being impacted." Who comes out on top? So far, small-business owners said their No.1 pick is Republican candidate and business mogul Donald Trump in Manta's survey, which polled 8,292 small-business owners nationwide between Jan. 27 and Feb. 1. Thirty-eight percent said the businessman would be the best president for small business, while 21 percent said Democratic candidate Clinton would be. The top concerns for small-business owners are the economy (49 percent), taxes (18 percent), health care (10 percent) and immigration (8 percent), according to the Manta poll. Other hot-button issues: the high cost of government regulations, the minimum wage, immigration reform that would make it easier for employers to hire skilled talent from abroad through expansion of the H-1B program, and even trade policy that would affect the nation's small exporters and importers. "Small-business owners are really concerned about the economy, and only 1 in 5 feel they have recovered from the Great Recession," said Karen Kerrigan, president and CEO of the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council, an advocacy and education organization for start-up and small-business owners. "Many of our 100,000 members tell us they are still in survival mode and they are looking at the candidates' policies to see how each plan will spur economic growth." The candidates' personal ethics and beliefs will also be a deciding factor for small-business voters. Another Manta poll, of 2,432 small-business owners nationwide, revealed that 41 percent of entrepreneurs will be influenced by a candidate's ethics and beliefs.
How they stack up
As the presidential election campaign picks up momentum, many entrepreneurs and small-business owners are hungry for solutions to the issues they care about. And they are looking for the candidate who is addressing their concerns best. "So far, the candidates haven't said a lot about small business," said John Arensmeyer, founder and CEO of the Small Business Majority, a network of 42,000 small-business owners. Although both former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) have outlined a small-business plan, most of the other candidates have made broad-brush proposals on many of the issues. Even the Clinton and Rubio plans lack some key specifics. Alexander Reichmann, 27, whose business iTestCash, in Monsey, New York, offers products for secure handling of cash, worries about the impact high taxes may have on the ability of small-business owners like himself to invest money in hiring, marketing and other areas critical to business growth. He said he isn't "running toward" any of the candidates but has been interested in Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) ideas on abolishing the IRS and adopting a flat tax. Still, he adds, "I don't know his exact plans."
These election-cycle small-business issues are sharply divided along party lines. Republicans are touting tax cuts, the end of Obamacare, opposition to an increase in the minimum wage and restrictions on illegal immigration. In opposition, Democrats don't want to repeal Obamacare, but modify the law to ease mandates on small business. They want to raise taxes, increase the $7.25/hr minimum wage and ease the path to immigration (see the interactive table above for the candidates' positions on the issues).
The front-runner
Asked to choose among Republican candidates, 60 percent of respondents opted for Trump, while 16 percent cited Cruz and 5 percent named Rubio in the Manta poll. When it came to Democrats, 56 percent favored Clinton, and 40 percent named Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont).
Trump also emerged as the front-runner in a poll by Alignable, a social network for small business, where 29 percent of owners said Donald Trump would help their business most as president. Sanders (23 percent) and Clinton (19 percent) followed Trump. Alignable commissioned SurveyMonkey to conduct its nationwide poll between Jan. 26 and Feb. 10, 2016.
A big factor that has made Trump the entrepreneurial favorite is that he's a successful entrepreneur who empathizes with the challenges business owners face. His pro-business positions: cap business taxes at 15 percent and lower individual tax rates (with a top rate of 25 percent) and eliminate the estate tax so family-owned businesses can pass along assets to their heirs; repeal Obamacare and replace it; and kill free-trade agreements, like the TPP. In his widely discussed and controversial stance on immigration, Trump has proposed building a wall along the southern border of the U.S. to keep low-paid foreign labor from entering the U.S., and he has criticized the H-1B visa program that allows employers to hire temporary foreign skilled workers. Michael Miller, who runs Mindwhirl Marketing in Denver with his wife, Shelly, finds Trump's brash style a bit off-putting but believes the candidate has the experience and ability to improve the economy. "I want to win again," says Miller, who says his business hasn't fully recovered from the Great Recession, as many of his small-business clients are feeling pinched.
Among the Democrats, Clinton — who says she wants to be the "small-business president" — is the front-runner for small business. She has promised she will give small businesses more access to capital, launch a national effort to cut red tape that is impeding small businesses, and provide targeted tax relief for small businesses with simplified tax filing. Her plan also includes providing incubators, mentoring and training to 5,000 small-business owners in underserved communities and developing entrepreneurial skills in young people. Clinton has also promised to defend the Export-Import Bank of the U.S. — a quasi-government agency that helps small-business owners get trade financing — which was reauthorized in December after Congress let its lending authority lapse in July. Clinton advocates "comprehensive immigration reform, with a pathway to citizenship." She has pledged to defend the Affordable Care Act and improve it to slow the growth of out-of-pocket costs. Sanders, meanwhile, has said he will encourage small-business lending by reinstating the Glass-Steagall Act, repealed during the Clinton administration. After the repeal, "local banks increasingly began to invest in risky Wall Street trading and speculation and became less inclined to make low-interest loans to small businesses," his website claims. Sanders has said he also supports increased access to entrepreneurship education, patent reform to prevent abuse by big corporations, net neutrality — where Internet service providers offer equal access to all information — and visa reform, which will "reject the exploitation of workers and the use of visas for cheap, foreign labor," his website says. He also supports single-payer health care.
On the Republican side, the candidates have different approaches in support of Main Street. Promising on his website that he will "stand up for small-business owners," Rubio promises to cut taxes for small businesses to 25 percent, let businesses immediately expense new investments and permanently repeal the estate tax. He also said he wants to repeal Obamacare, push for accountable regulatory policies, expand production of American-made energy and impose restrictions on union activity, such as prohibiting them from deducing union dues from workers' paychecks. His stance on immigration is built around securing the border. Cruz, who announced the formation of the Small Business for Cruz Coalition in November, has proposed to eliminate the IRS and transition from the tiered federal income-tax system to a single flat tax of 10 percent. He also wants to replace the corporate tax with a 16 percent "business flat tax." When it comes to immigration, his campaign has also focused on securing the border. Ohio Gov. John Kasich has proposed reducing the number of federal tax brackets from seven to three and cutting the top personal tax rate from 39.6 percent to 28 percent and the top business rate from 35 percent to 25 percent. He also opposes the estate tax and has proposed repealing a number of mandates of the Affordable Care Act. Kasich is also an advocate of sealing the border.
