Thanks. Yes, my original comment now seems to have arisen (like the Phoenix). That said, now that the election will be over I do think Governor Walker should now force the fiscal issue upon them and I can think of no better way to do it. If he gives them even another year to simply spend our savings the pre-election behavior (that resulted in no action) will repeat and our options will be even further diminished. | 0 | en |
Where to start? Trump's idea of "draining the swamp" is to put in place a legion of notable swamp-dwellers, the Wall St mob, and his faithful billionaire hangers-on. His theory of smaller local government is perfect if you want all the power centralized on a president-dictator. He has no interest in preventing abortion. He was pro-choice until he wasn't. If it weren't too laughable, some folks might attribute his recent conversion to a "come to Jesus" moment, except that Trump would never admit that that he'd been wrong and had to change his mind. Lastly, he is a pathological liar (his picture is in the dictionary next to the definition), whose lies, especially now that he's president, are not only hateful, they're dangerous to us all. Hillary's "lies" (I'm assuming you're referring to Benghazi and her server) pale in comparison. | 0 | en |

This isn't true. The reporting on that subject was grossly inaccurate. The famed 'security' of BlackBerry messaging was always about its Enterprise product -- there was a time when BlackBerry was almost entirely in the domain of corporations and governments. The end-to-end encryption system around that was securely designed, as well as publicly documented and scrutinized. RIM/BlackBerry had no way of accessing messages sent within that system.
The non-enterprise consumer product, however, had no such security applied to it, nor did BlackBerry ever say that it did. It had an ineffective layer of encryption on it that was easily defeated and was never designed nor claimed to be secure. This messaging was and is subject to government wiretap warrants, the same as your internet service provider and potentially your email service.
Recent reporting on this subject described a secret master key that BlackBerry has been giving to law enforcement, which is a very misleading description. | 0 | en |

After a few days, some observations.
1) The lack of an account, like Disqus, makes it impossible to keep track of one's comments. Sure, I can click on my name below and see some recent ones, but not a complete list. There's also no ability to see what others have said, in the same thread or other threads. Losing context of anyone's comments is poor.
2) No HTML support. I like to provide links to support my statements, and other than simply putting the URL in the post, there's no way to do so. Also, a total lack of character formatting. No bold, no italics, no underlining, no image linking (disabled under Disqus but quite valuable anyway), etc., etc.
3) No notification system, other than email. Why should I have to check email continually? Disqus did this much better.
4) I've been asked to rate the same comment more than once. Why?
5) The very short limit on comments. Why - aping Twitter? Not everything can be summarized in so few words.
Overall, a *giant* step backwards from Disqus. | 0 | en |

Why do you think DBF can pay more than a DCF, because those that die early support the long livers. A DCF the pension can be rolled over tax free to a spouse or after tax to his estate.

Prevalence of DSM-IV diagnostic criteria of insomnia: distinguishing insomnia related to mental disorders from sleep disorders.
Epidemiological studies of insomnia in the general population have reported high prevalence rates. However, few have applied diagnostic criteria from existing classification systems. Consequently. It is not possible to determine whether subjects suffered from a sleep disorder or whether the insomnia constituted a symptom of a mental disorder. Insomnia and its relationship with other mental disorders was investigated in the general population using DSM-IV criteria. A representative sample of 5622 subjects from the French population were interviewed about their sleep habits over the telephone by lay interviewers. The course and content of interviews were customized by means of the Sleep-Eval knowledge-based system. A total of 18.6% of the sample reported insomnia complaints. The presence of insomnia complaints, lasting for at least one month with daytime repercussions was found for 12.7% of the sample. Subsequently, subjects were classified according to the Sleep Disorder decision-making process proposed by the DSM-IV classification, but without the recourse of polysomnographic recordings. Specific sleep disorder diagnoses were given for 5.6% of the sample, mostly as insomnia related to another mental disorder, primary insomnia was given for 1.3% of the sample. Primary mental disorder diagnoses were supplied for 8.4% of the sample, mostly as generalized anxiety disorder. The results of this investigation emphasize the need to use classifications to determine whether subjects with insomnia complaints suffer from a sleep disorder or whether insomnia constitutes a symptom of some other mental disorder. These distinctions are of utmost importance as they have a bearing on the choice of treatment. Conversely, diagnoses were obtained by lay interviews, which may have caused a lack of recognition and/or discrimination for light or borderline symptomatology. | 0 | en |

I'd like to see the city bring back an efficient police force with plenty of officers and equipment to keep citizens safe. We used to have Community Action Patrols who knew the neighborhoods and the people who lived in them. They knew who the problem folks were and kept an eye out for things that didn't look right. Best of all they followed up and stayed in touch with community members. I'm not saying hire more police who will carry more guns. What I am saying is build a police department that responds to the needs of the citizens through human contacts and common sense. If you cruise around the net you''ll read that other police departments are facing the same issues after their budgets got whacked like the Anchorage police budget did a few years ago. Good wages, community support, and a dedication to serve make police departments the best they can be. I'd like us to have that again so we can feel safe walking the streets on these lovely summer evenings. Thanks to all the officers! | 0 | en |

The head of the corporation is receiving more than a million a year in salary, benefits, and bonuses. That is a start. He hired his friends. Then started an office in Texas to hire more friends at outrageous salaries. He travels the world trying to sell the most expensive gas package in the world to people who know how to do math. He is a shill for the Governor. A shill is "an accomplice of a hawker, gambler, or swindler who acts as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others."

Q:
Ruby: cannot load such file - LoadError
I got this 'require' cannot load such file error.
I got this previously and I added
__LIB_DIR__ = File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), ".."))
unless $LOAD_PATH.include?(__LIB_DIR__)
$LOAD_PATH.unshift(__LIB_DIR__)
end
I would like to know what this does? I added this in a main 'require' file of my project.
Now I write a test case,
$:.unshift File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), ".")
I try to run it, I get the LoadError. I also tried require_relative no luck.
Structure:
Main
Git
lib
files.rb
base.rb
test
test1.rb
I have the first code block above in base.rb where I do all 'requires'
and when i try to run the test. I get LoadError.
'Please',Explain the first and second code blocks also give me a solution
A:
For clarity, instead of
__LIB_DIR__ = File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), ".."))
use
__LIB_DIR__ = File.expand_path('..', File.dirname(__FILE__))
What does this do?
unless $LOAD_PATH.include?(__LIB_DIR__)
$LOAD_PATH.unshift(__LIB_DIR__)
end
Consider this:
ary = %w[a b]
ary # => ["a", "b"]
ary.unshift('c')
ary # => ["c", "a", "b"]
I try to run it, I get the LoadError. I also tried require_relative no luck.
That could be for a number of reasons, but, unfortunately you didn't share the code where it occurs. require and require_relative are both used to load code, but have different syntax in the parameter passed. We'd need to know what you're trying to load, and where it is in the file hierarchy in relation to your calling script.
Perhaps one of these, or their related questions, would help:
"ruby `require': cannot load such file"
"Ruby 'require' error: cannot load such file"
"require cannot load such file"
"Cannot load files using require"

The Church indeed, is the entire people of God. However---that does not entail that the Church is a democracy. That does not entail that the people of God exercise the teaching authority within the Church. The Church does not take straw polls on teaching. The Church does not decide teaching just because the whims of pop culture and Hollywood demand it.
As an aside--I find it interesting that despite the fact that Hilary Clinton had behind her the rich and powerful news media, Hollywood, the president, a former president, etc--in short--she has the best of circumstances in order to win the presidency, she lost--despite all the power that was behind her.
I guess that means that people think for themselves--and do not think what Hollywood and the media tell them to think. | 0 | en |

There are working pipelines that have been in the ground for over 80 years.
The problem is that there are too many variables...pressure, steel and weld quality...for a simple answer.
Canadian pipelines are checked regularly by running devices through them that check the thickness and strength of the pipe. Enbridge Line 3...which is 50 years old... was found to have corrosion problems so they reduced the working pressure to ensure safety.
It's interesting to note that a pipeline that ran from the US to Montreal under the Saint Lawrence operated for over 70 years without any complaint from Quebec... | 0 | en |

Assessment of penile blood flow by duplex ultrasonography in 44 men with normal erectile potency in different phases of erection.
Duplex ultrasonography is important in the diagnosis of vasculogenic erectile dysfunction. We measured the ultrasonographic parameters of cavernous blood flow in different phases of penile erection. We examined 44 volunteers with normal erectile potency. Doppler spectra of the cavernous artery were obtained in a time-dependent manner after intracavernous administration of papaverine. Following intracavernous pharmacological stimulation, the Doppler spectrum alters according to a specific pattern indicating the different hemodynamic phases of erection. Peak flow velocity and acceleration time, measured in the early post-injection phase, may be used to grade arterial inflow. The difference between resistance index in the pre-injection and late post-injection phases may be used to estimate veno-occlusive function. References values are defined. | 1 | en |

Q:
.NET FtpWebRequest not returning DateTimeStamp or FileSize
I'm using FtpWebRequest to connect to an FTP server and I can use WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails to list the directory details fine. However the response from the remote server has day, month and time but not year:
-rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 949 Jun 2 08:43 Unsubscribes_20100602.zip
-rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 1773 Jun 1 06:48 export_142571709.txt

-rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 980 Jun 1 06:51 export_142571734.txt
This is required for the application I'm writing so I tried to use WebRequestMethods.Ftp.GetDateTimestamp to get the datetimestamp for each file but the response is always empty. No exception is thrown.
try
{
FtpWebRequest ftp = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(path);
ftp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(_ftpUsername, _ftpPassword);
ftp.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.GetDateTimestamp;
try
{
Stream stream = ftp.GetResponse().GetResponseStream();
StreamReader sReader = new StreamReader(stream);
return sReader;
}
catch (Exception exp)
{
throw new Exception(String.Format("An error occured getting the timestamp for {0}: {1}<br />", path, exp.Message));
}
}
Has anyone got any ideas why this would be?
A:
The GetDateTimestamp method does not return its data in the normal stream. Just like the file size method returns its data in the ContentLength header/property, the GetDateTimestamp method has its data in the LastModified header/property.
FtpWebRequest ftp = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(path);
ftp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(_ftpUsername, _ftpPassword);
ftp.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.GetDateTimestamp;
try
{
using(FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)ftp.GetResponse())
{
return response.LastModified;
}
}
catch
{
throw new Exception(String.Format("An error occured getting the timestamp for {0}: {1}<br />", path, exp.Message));
}

Il fenomeno dell’home sharing è cresciuto in maniera esponenziale negli ultimi anni modificando il modo di viaggiare di milioni di persone. La diffusione di questo nuovo modo di affittare abitazioni però ha un impatto significativo sulle città. Il numero di abitazioni presenti sul mercato per i residenti infatti si riduce e i prezzi aumentano incentivando fenomeni di gentrificazione dei quartieri e delle principali mete turistiche.
Analizzare il fenomeno dell’home sharing con i dati
Il principale sito di home sharing è AirBnb con oltre 6 milioni di inserzioni in 191 paesi. Il sito però non rilascia dati pubblicamente e quindi per analizzare il fenomeno degli affitti brevi e la loro diffusione tramite questa piattaforma è necessario ricorrere ad altri metodi.
Inside Airbnb è un portale nato proprio per diffondere pubblicamente questi dati, in modo che possano essere utilizzati per fare analisi sia da parte di privati che, a maggior ragione, da parte delle amministrazioni pubbliche che vogliono regolamentare la materia.
Sul sito oltre a scaricare i dati, possono essere trovati report molto interessanti su diverse città turistiche. Da segnalare l’approfondimento del 2017 curato dal fondatore del sito su New York, la città dove abita, e l’aggiornamento all’anno successivo. Rispetto all’Italia, di particolare interesse è il Bollettino Venezia, curato da Alice Corona e aggiornato mensilmente.
Chi è Murray Cox – Il creatore di InsideAirbnb
Inside AirBnb è stato fondato da Murray Cox, vice presidente di una startup tecnologica, che si occupa del sito per passione.
I’m just a housing activist. I believe housing is a human right; not an economic tool or a commodity. - Murray Cox
Un articolo di Bloomberg ci racconta meglio questa figura, i suoi rapporti con alcune municipalità, a cui fornisce i dati necessari a studiare il fenomeno ed elaborare politiche pubbliche, e soprattutto con Airbnb, tra diffidenza e difficili tentativi di dialogo.
L’airificazione delle città
Se le comuni piattaforme della sharing economy incidono sulle dinamiche sociali ed economiche, la particolarità di AirBnb è l’effetto ulteriore che produce sulle città. Aumento dei prezzi delle abitazioni e il conseguente svuotamento dei quartieri storici da parte dei residenti sono fenomeni che, nelle principali mete turistiche italiane, sono iniziati ben prima dell’avvento dell’home sharing.
L’home sharing alimenta la “disneyficazione” delle città italiane.
Un problema quindi che non nasce con Airbnb ma che si alimenta grazie alla facilità del mezzo, esacerbandone effetti e criticità. Tutti questi temi sono stati affrontati dal Laboratorio Dati Economici Storici Territoriali dell’Università di Siena in uno studio dal titolo “The airification of cities“.
L’argomento che il turismo di massa incentivi un modello di sviluppo squilibrato per il territorio, oltre che materia di ricerca accademica, è un tema tipico di vari movimenti di base e lotta per la casa. Non a caso una delle città dove la protesta contro Airbnb è stata più forte è Barcellona, il cui sindaco proviene proprio da questi movimenti.
Airbnb e il fisco
Dal punto di vista del decisore pubblico sono principalmente due i temi da considerare quando si tratta di home sharing. Da un lato l’effetto sulle città, dall’altro la questione fiscale.
Read my lips: We want to pay taxes - Chris Lehane, Airbnb’s global head of public policy
Il managment di Airbnb si è sempre detto disposto ad affrontare positivamente il tema, tuttavia quando delle città o dei governi hanno tentato di regolamentare la materia della tassazione si sono spesso trovati ad affrontare l’opposizione del colosso tecnologico nelle aule di tribunale. The Wired ha dedicato un articolo ricostruendo lo scontro tra Airbnb e varie amministrazioni locali degli Stati Uniti.
In Italia nel 2017 il governo Gentiloni ha provato a disciplinare la materia prevedendo la cedolare secca per gli affitti di durata inferiore a 30 giorni (dl. 50/2017). Anche in questo caso però Airbnb ha fatto ricorso e ne è nato un lungo contenzioso arrivato fino al Tar del Lazio che però, a febbraio, ha respinto il ricorso della piattaforma.
L’home sharing in versione cooperativa
Nel mondo della sharing economy esistono però anche realtà che cercano di offrire alternative cooperative alle pratiche estrattive dei colossi che attualmente dominano il mercato. Nel settore del home sharing un esempio è quello di FairBnb.
Si tratta di una cooperativa su piattaforma che vuole offrire un servizio di affitto a breve termine alternativo a Airbnb, per contrastare gli effetti negativi del turismo peer-to-peer e ridirigere parte del plusvalore che esso genera direttamente a vantaggio delle comunità che lo ospitano.
Ascolta la nostra intervista a Damiano Avellino, co-fondatore di Fairbnb.

We should be aware that Joyce is pretty much unique in its community-preparedness efforts.
No matter where we live on the Peninsula, we can count on being isolated, and on help arriving later for us than for Seattle. And most of us can count on our communities not being prepared to help very much.
So we all need to have food, water, and medicines for three weeks on hand, at a minimum. I'm planning to use the contact point provided to learn how to secure a propane tank, too. | 0 | en |

"Keep the pipeline full?" Really? Has someone been sneaking in non-royalty oil I'm not aware of? The author is correct - There is plenty of oil still on the Slope ... But there is also plenty far cheaper deep drill-able and frack-able new oil in the ground, or being stored below-ground or in floating tankers.
Spending $0.75 billion of State credits until we see a recovery indicating that owners of Alaska oil - us - may at least break even on new production makes no sense.
Also, the size of the price recovery, determined by Saudi & other major suppliers, will tell us how much we should be investing in expensive exploration & development; and how much we should be investing in making our State more attractive to other industries and for entrepreneurs.
Those kinds of new residents are drawn to quality universities and research facilities; investment credits for intellectual capital; safe, well-maintained communities and great amenities -like our wilderness, trails & parks. | 0 | en |

I have read the Wikipedia rules a few times and
As far as I can find, it says: ""All reliable sources are, by definition, both published and accessible to at least some people. Sources that are not published (e.g., something someone said to you personally) or not accessible (e.g., the only remaining copy of the book is locked in a vault, with no one allowed to read it) are never acceptable as sources on Wikipedia."" In my interpretation I can refer to ""2000 Jahre Handel und Kultur im Ostseegebiet - Gotland, Perle der Ostsee"" ISBN91-972306-6-9 As far as I can see this book qualifies. If you accept this we can go further. If you search ISBN91-972306-6-9 on Google you will get 109 results""
OpenFuture does not accept this. Are you reading the rules in the same way?

Hello Ottawa Leafs fan,
You are totally wrong about murder rates. Perhaps that results from the wanted direction of propaganda available to you in Canadian newspapers?
The nation of Jamaica in recent years has had an average of about 1,200 murders a year. In comparison Chicago, with roughly the same population as Jamaica, has had an average of about 700 murders a year in recent years.
Sorry, Ottawa Leafs fan, but 1,200 is bigger than 700.
In any event, more pertinent is to compare murder rates city to city, not country to city. The city of Kingston Jamaica has a murder rate of about 45 per hundred thousand, whereas Chicago has a murder rate of about 28 per hundred thousand.
Jamaica is one of the most murderous countries on the planet, nationally about 35 per hundred thousand killed each year (the USA's number is about 4, yes, 4, per hundred thousand). | 0 | en |
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-98-00646-CR
NO. 03-98-00647-CR
Gary Frank Allen, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF LAMPASAS COUNTY, 27TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NOS. 6806 & 6807, HONORABLE C.W. DUNCAN, JR., JUDGE PRESIDING
In each cause, a jury found appellant Gary Frank Allen guilty of indecency with
a child by contact. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 21.11(a)(1) (West 1994). The district court
assessed punishment for these offenses at imprisonment for five years. By a single point of error,
appellant contends the court reversibly erred by admitting evidence of extraneous misconduct at
the guilt stage of trial. We will overrule this contention and affirm the convictions.
The offenses for which appellant was convicted occurred in 1990, when the
complainants were five years old. The complainants made their first outcry in 1997. The
challenged testimony apparently was offered to explain why the children did not speak out
sooner. (1) Over objection, the complainants' aunt testified, "I was around [appellant] when he was
verbally abusive with the children, called them stupid, idiots. He yelled at them. His tone of
voice was always very loud, and he kept the children intimidated and afraid of him, by my
observation." She said that both at home and in public, appellant used "very filthy language,
cursing, and he was very vulgar and embarrassing." She added, "He was very coarse. Cursed
very foul, foul language whenever we were around him."
Evidence of other wrongs or acts by the defendant is not admissible to prove his
character in order to show that he acted in conformity to that character on a particular occasion.
See Tex. R. Evid. 404(b). Notwithstanding this rule, evidence of other wrongs or acts by the
defendant against the alleged victim is admissible in a trial for a sexual offense committed against
a child under seventeen years of age "for its bearing on relevant matters," including "the state of
mind of the defendant and the child" and "the previous and subsequent relationship between the
defendant and the child." Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 38.37, § 2 (West Supp. 1999).
Although the offenses of which appellant was accused occurred before the effective date of article
38.37, the trial began after the effective date and the statute was applicable. See Howland v.
State, 990 S.W.2d 274, 277 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999); Ernst v. State, 971 S.W.2d 698, 700 (Tex.
App.--Austin 1998, no pet.).
A trial court is given broad discretion to admit or exclude evidence of extraneous
misconduct, and its ruling will not be disturbed on appeal if it was within the zone of reasonable
disagreement. See Poole v. State, 974 S.W.2d 892, 897 (Tex. App.--Austin 1998, no pet.); Ernst,
971 S.W.2d at 701. In these causes, the district court could reasonably conclude that testimony
regarding appellant's use of abusive language toward the victims was relevant both to their state
of mind and to their relationship with appellant.
We are also satisfied that the challenged testimony did not adversely affect
appellant's substantial rights. See Tex. R. App. P. 44.2(b); Tex. R. Evid. 103(a). The children
testified without objection that they did not speak up sooner because they were afraid of appellant
and feared that he would take them from the custody of their grandmother. One child testified
that appellant was "mean" and beat her with a paddle for no reason. The other child testified that
appellant killed her pets by shooting them or throwing them off a bridge. In light of this
testimony, any error in the admission of the aunt's testimony was harmless.
The point of error is overruled and the judgments of conviction are affirmed.

1. Appellant's trial objections were overruled without comment by the State or the court, and
no limiting instruction was requested or given. In its brief, the State argues that the testimony was
admissible to explain the complainants' prior silence.

In what has become an ugly pattern (1, 2) John Oliver’s show frets over vulgar language and remains silent about others who commit substantive crimes.
As recently as last week, Oliver decried Donald Trump endorsing war crimes—”When you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families.”. Two Republicans (one elected, one running for office) recently said vulgar and ignorant things:
I am the face of the Re-Pube-Licking Party.
I like boobies.—two posts from Robert Morrow, Chairman-elect, Travis County, on his Twitter feed posted 48 hours after being elected.
The dinosaurs on [Noah’s] ark may have been babies and not able to reproduce. It might make sense to take the small dinosaurs onto the ark instead of the ones bigger than a bus.—Mary Lou Bruner, Texas State Board of Education candidate speaking for herself on her Facebook page.
This week Oliver credited the national Republican party which distanced themselves from these two Republicans saying they would be insignificant (“[Bruner would be] a human rain delay”) and “Robert Morrow in no way speaks for the Republican Party of its values.” and then Oliver asked:
But doesn’t he though? Because in this election cycle it would be a lot easier to argue that your party shouldn’t be judged by people who spread weird Obama conspiracy theories and brag about their dicks if that didn’t also describe your presumptive nominee for the Presidency.
Which means we should feel free to evaluate the Democratic Party and its presumptive nominees for the Presidency (whose actions are rarely scrutinized on the show) by their choices. It’s not hard to do so as there isn’t that much to choose from.
The Democratic party isn’t opposed to tactless quips: Clinton’s response (a response CODEPINK describes as “sociopathic“) to the extrajudicial murder of Muammar Gaddafi, “We came, we saw, he died.” draws little examination then or now even though she was in power and on-duty when she said it in a televised interview. The Democratic Party apparently likes war (Sen. Clinton voted for the 2003 Iraq war), trashing water supplies in the name of big business commerce (Clinton doesn’t mind fracking), doing whatever they can to appease the HMOs and prevent universalizing the US’ extant single-payer healthcare delivery system (Clinton is a long-time backer of this in various guises dating back to her days as First Lady through her interviews where she insists universalizing Medicare is not possible), propping up dictators (Democrats and Republicans have done this for decades), and killing people (including Americans) in drone attacks justified with mere suspicion of wrongdoing (no published evidence, no public trial) as well as members of their families who are suspected of doing nothing wrong (Secretary of State Clinton participated in this).
“The Administration plans not to say how many innocents it thinks it killed in any strike—it will only offer a bland ‘aggregate assessment’ of innocent dead,” said Cori Crider, Reprieve attorney for drone strike victims. “Contrast this to last April, when the President named—and apologized—for the deaths of two innocent Westerners, Warren Weinstein and Giovanni Lo Porto. To Yemenis and Pakistanis who live under US drones every day, the contrast could not be clearer.”
When matters are put this way these two parties look similarly horrific, neither uniquely worthy of scorn more than the other, neither deserving a lack of criticism. | 1 | en |

Does Pope Francis think that the middle class, because they work and are not impoverished, do not deserve the good news of the Gospel? Does "a poor church for the poor" mean that all of the property of the Catholic Church, including the Vatican and it's vast art treasures, should be auctioned off with the proceeds going to "The Poor"? | 0 | en |
"Family planning" is a euphemism for having recreational sex without consequences. One has the right to have recreational sex, but one does not have the right to have others pay for the consequences. This isn't a matter of good/bad motives; it is a matter of taking personal responsibility for one's choices, good or bad. I see no reason to change my commenting on the matter. | 0 | en |

New parks committee in the works?
EAST JORDAN — City officials want to get organized when it comes to their parks and recreation.
East Jordan City Commission members discussed a proposal at their meeting this week that would create a new Parks and Recreation Committee to oversee various parks, beaches and boating facilities throughout the city. The idea is to fold both the Elm Pointe and Tourist Park boards together and have the combined volunteer committee take on even more advisory responsibilities.
“We have so many assets and natural resources in the community and we haven’t tapped into all of it yet,” said Tom Cannon, East Jordan parks director.
The committee would be comprised of five or seven members who likely would meet monthly. The committee would provide advisory support to city officials for Tourist Park campground and beach, the city marina and boat launch facilities, athletic fields, picnic parks, Elm Pointe facility and beach, the Civic Center and the skatepark.
The committee would make recommendations to both the parks department and city commission.
“It’s Tom’s idea and I completely agree with him,” said Bob Anderson, city manager. “Look at how many parks we have for such a small community.”
Toni Jeffery sits on the Elm Pointe board, a group that hasn’t met for eight years. She likely won’t apply to sit on the new parks and recreation committee, but is eager to see it come to be, she said.
“I actually think it’s a good idea. There should be an overall plan for parks and recreation and it’s definitely time,” Jeffery said.
The committee could be created by city leaders as early as July or August and applications for seats on the board would be accepted soon after. The first meeting of the new East Jordan Parks and Recreation Committee may happen this autumn, Cannon said.
“It would be nice to have a diverse group,” Cannon said.
The first major task for the committee will be to develop a five-year master plan for East Jordan’s parks and recreation program. There could be opportunities to expand offerings through more park space or recreational trails, Cannon said.
“This is a way we will improve quality of life for people here,” he said.

== Section entitled ""Quebec"" ==
There is a contradiction between the table, which is inaccurate in any case, and the paragraphs discussing anglicisms which follow. The table suggests that France french (""metropolitan"" French) when it is taught allows for anglicisms. This is not accurate. The table also suggests Quebeckers use fewer anglicisms - also inaccurate. The section goes on to state, in fact, that Quebeckers use a lot of anglicisms, and goes into quite a lot of detail.
No one in Quebec uses ""fin de semaine"" in casual conversation, they use ""le week-end."" ""Parc a stationnement"" is ludicrous. Stationnement is correct, and many Quebeckers use ""le parking.""
I don't think the table adds anything. It should be deleted.
""There is, however, a movement which is trying to reintroduce the respectful ""vous"" - there is a movement seeking to enforce a more formal french language use, and eliminate ""Montreal street french"" or joual and other dialects. But it is not very significant. One group is here: http://www.asulf.ca/
The article needs a discussion of joual or at least a reference to the joual wiki page.
There is an excellent reference web page here http://www.spl.gouv.qc.ca/fileadmin/400ans/timeline.html that outlines the development of french in Quebec." | 0 | en |

"... students, especially girls, don’t start from home in the clothing they wear at school." Been that way since 1960 or so, based on my personal observations. Then, the girls rolled up their skirts at the waist to shorten them. Today, near Thurston at least, they seem to roll down their pants at the waist to expose more midriff or their tramp stamps. | 0 | en |
