Yet another Jew trick
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Yet another Jew trick (or the "Simon trick") is a common theory created to explain the many failures of modern society. The theory basically states that for every action in the universe, there is an equal and opposite Jew nearby trying to profit or gain power from it.
edit The first Jew trick
Despite popular myth, the first Jew trick was not Satan (also known as a black guy) compelling Eve (also known as Pimp Adam's Bitch) to eat an apple. That was simply far too straight forward to be a Jew trick. Also, the whole thing is a made-up forgery anyway, penned during the Persian empire in the desperate attempt by the Hebrews to connect themselves to Mesopotamian royalty (see the billion or so Anastasia and son's of Elvis claiments).
The first documented Jew trick took place on November 13, 1366 BC in Egypt. A traveling Jew named Joe Steinberg arrived in the Valley of the Pharoahs seeking his fortune. He soon realized the Egyptians were a gullible lot -- just look at those big, dumb, useless fucking pyramids! Who the hell would be dumb enough to waste time and energy building those damned things?!??!!?
Steinberg set up shop in a remote corner of a village near Memphis. There, he bilked a number of black folks singers out of their recording royalty rights, publishing their works under different names and with covers that featured white artists supposedly singing old Negro spirituals and the blues.
Steinberg then used the profits -- ah, profits ... the Jews and their profits -- anyhow. He took the profits and built a legit front company for a lending institution that tricked people into usery. The Egyptians, being typical poor people, were quick to buy into all this free money, signing on to various pay-day lending schemes put forth by Steinberg.
But, several weeks later, Steinberg started demanding the money back! Plus interest! As all the lawyers, even back then, were Jewish, Steinberg regularly prevailed in court.
At last the Egyptians became angry and demanded the Pharaoh do something. Following a failed effort to distract the peasants with a gay marriage referendum, the Pharaoh invaded Israel and herded all the Jews into camps, where they were worked to death (note: this becomes a common theme of Jewish history).
The Jews eventually tricked the Pharaoh into letting them go by cozying up to a rival to the throne (Akhnaton), who began throwing frogs at him and killing all the first-born sons of his fellow Egyptians on the Hebrews' account. Being a sick and brutal type, the Pharaoh appreciated their chutzpah, and freed them. However, when the Pharaoh came to wish them good-bye, the dirty fucking Jews drowned him and all his retainers in the Red Sea.
Akhnaton eventually got fed-up with them little more than a month or so, and at that point wrote a series of LAWS to put them in line. After some years of wandering, they eventually killed him and claimed God did it to punish him for disobeying some personal commandment about rocks. Sigmund Freud would recount this in the biographic Akhnaton.
edit The first "another" Jew trick
Of course, one trick by itself would not be impressive, even if it did involve defeating an ancient empire. Big deal. Fuck, the British did that like once a week for 100 years straight in the 1800s. And even a Pollock can pull off one trick. The sun can't shine on the same dog's ass all the time anyhow!
Or can it?
As it turns out, the sun CAN shine on the same dog's ass all the time ... if the dog in question happens to be a Jew.
The second Jew trick came during the reign of King David, the most awesome king not named Arthur. During David's reign, the lands of Israel were overrun by evil giants. Now, you'd think being a giant would make life easy enough as long as there was plentiful water and food.
But, this was the Middle East. And the Middle East just makes people go apeshit and kill people left and right for utterly no reason.
One of the many dirty Jews discovered that a giant named Goliath had a goose that laid golden eggs. King David, being a money-grubbing, filthy Jew, decided to go steal the goose from Goliath. However, Goliath lived on a cloud ... I don't know why ... seems like a pretty stupid place for a giant to live.
So, anyhow, David tricked some poor peasant Babylonian into giving him magic beans. Then he killed the Babylonian and took the gold he had paid him back. David planted the magic beans and a giant beanstalk grew into the sky. David climbed the beanstalk, found the giant, slayed his ass while he slept and stole the goose.
Upon returning to Israel, David discovered the country in a state of civil war, as Jew fought Jew for the right to trick David and steal his goose from him.
Eventually, the United Nations ordered Roman peacekeepers into Israel. The Romans quickly realized the country was full of dirty Jews, and the only solution was to give the country a goddamned bath. A bloodbath, that is!
edit How a Jew trick works
Let's say you just got done with work. You're walking home with your big fat paycheck. You run into a Jew.
Now if you think you have a dilemma, try being the filthy Jew. This poor Jew bastard has to figure this out: do I trick this Christian out of his purse full of gold, OR do I let him take his gold home to fatten his Christian babies?
It's a tough dilemma, and the results vary on a Jew-by-Jew basis.
edit Stealing your gold
Being skinny, and weak, and generally malformed because they have been rejected by God a Jew cannot just knock you down and take your purse of gold from you and add it to his pot full of Jew gold. He has to trick you.
There are a number of ways a Jew can trick you into giving him your purse of gold:
- Induce you to wastefully leave your gold in a bank, where the Jew bankers will horde it and never give it back, despite promise of a 4.25% APR.
- Fill your television with lies to further the goals of the Elders of Zion.
- Trick you into giving them the gold for something less precious, like diamonds or myrrh.
- Throw frankincense in your face, causing you to turn into a wandering monster.
- Make movies.
- Sell you to slave traders.
- Seduce you with their beautiful Jewess daughter and watch as you hand all your gold to her instead of your pious Christian wife.
edit Eat your Christian babies
While Jews are tiny and frail and can barely hold their heads up for fifteen minutes at a time, there is one class of Christian they can take in a one-on-one matchup: babies.
Jews crave the blood of Christian babies. Not surprisingly, acceptance of Christ makes a baby particularly supple and sweet. Jews, with their gigantic noses, get a whiff of that new baby smell and they go crazy.
The Jew will then lurk around your house waiting for an opportunity. For example, one time I put a pie in the window to cool. I come back twenty minutes later and sure enough, the pie is still there... sitting next to a trail of blood leading out the window and into a nearby hedge. I went over to the hedge, and there I found my newborn with bite marks in its neck.
edit How to protect against Jew tricks
After perpetrating the greatest Jew trick of all time, the Holocaust, it has become increasingly difficult to protect your purse of gold and your babies from the Jews. The Jews now enjoy extraordinary legal protections. Christians can no longer just murder any Jew walking down the street, even if the Jew is covered in baby's blood and muttering about "gold, sweet gold".
The easiest way to protect yourself against Jews - not counting garlic and holy water - is to make a small charitable donation every year to a terrorist organization of your choice. The terrorist organizations will then perform an annual Jew clean-up on your behalf.
Another method is to take your hard-earned movie dollars and give them to Mel Gibson instead of some movie producers with a Jew name like Weinstein.
And a final method is to trick the Jew into eating pork by telling him it is a lump of Christian baby flesh. The Jew will slowly begin to melt. And upside to this is you will find the bag of Jew gold he was carrying. The downside is that now you have to mop up a filthy fucking Jew.
edit Humane methods for handling Jews
In recent years, a movement has been afoot to handle the Jewish problem in a more humane manner. After years of research involving reprogramming, shock therapy, ultrasonic whistles and even flashing lights, scientists at MIT announced a breakthrough in 1999.
The MIT method involves filling a spray bottle with water. Any time a Jew comes near, you spray him with water. The Jew will run in terror the opposite direction.
It is also possible to have your Jews declawed. Although Jews cause much damage to furniture and trees, this is generally considered inhumane. Many advocates now encourage Christian to have their Jewish neighbors spayed or neutered to control their relentless breeding.
The spay and neuter program has proved largely successful. The city of Atlanta introduced such a program in 1996, before the Olympics. Atlanta has yet to have needed to conduct so much as a single bloody pogrom to relieve the city of its Jewish burden.

Secondly, while Internet access, particularly when using a web browser, looks very much like viewing television; it is not a one–way system. It is a two–way service, very much like the telephone system in that the user can, and often does, interact with and send information to other users and/or organizations on the net. The cost associated with computer and Internet use are the initial purchase price and maintenance costs for the local equipment, the annual WVNET network assessment for such things as data communications and support and monthly communication charges. There are direct costs associated with this use, so they may not be used indiscriminately for any purpose.
Bluefield State (BS) has established policies regarding the use or abuse of all hardware, data, and software and communications networks associated with BS computer systems.

The "West Virginia Computer Crime and Abuse Act," which defines computer abuse and prosecution possibilities went into effect July, 1989. The Electronic Communications Privacy Act passed by Congress in 1986, cites illegal electronic communications access and interception. Cases of computer abuse must be reported to the BS Director, Institutional Technology Services and/or to local, state and federal authorities. Nothing in this policy supersedes or is otherwise meant to contradict any law, regulation or policy promulgated by any higher entity with authority to do so.
I. Common Forms of Computer Abuse:

Clinical hypnosis teaches patients to use a deep relaxation state to address issues such as smoking cessation, weight loss, pain relief [3], or self-improvement [6]. The decision to use hypnosis in clinical settings in addition to treatment can only be made in consultation with a qualified healthcare provider who has been trained in the use and limitations of clinical hypnosis.
There are multiple definitions of hypnosis from a variety of perspectives ranging from physiological to psychoanalytical. The American Psychological Association [7] (APA) defines the practice as "a procedure during which a health professional or researcher suggests that a client, patient, or subject experience changes in sensations, perceptions, thoughts, or behavior."
The hypnotic context is generally established by an induction procedure. Although there are many different hypnotic inductions, most include suggestions for relaxation, calmness, and wellbeing [8]. Instructions to imagine or think about pleasant experiences are also commonly included in hypnotic inductions.
Hypnosis has offered adherents relief from pain [3], depression [2], anxiety [2], stress [9], habit disorders, and many other psychological and medical problems. It has been shown particularly effective during childbirth [10] and in pediatric settings, and even provided anesthesia during surgery and painful medical procedures.
Hypnosis generally poses few risks for mentally healthy people. Just be careful not to stand up too quickly after your session or you might get dizzy. Also if you are taking medications, such as insulin, sedatives, or cardiovascular medicine, you may need to adjust your dosages.
Hypnosis may not be recommended for persons with depression [2] or personality disorders, such as schizophrenic, borderline, or narcissistic disorders. It is essential for anyone interested in hypnosis to carefully choose a provider [11]. This provider should be a licensed healthcare professional with specific hypnosis training and certification.

The University of Dubuque's third-place finish in the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference women's basketball standings last season was its best in school history.
Despite that historic finish, the team was chosen sixth out of eight schools in a preseason poll of IIAC coaches this season.
"I think we're better than that," coach Mark Noll said. "But it's up to us to prove that."
Thanks to Woodstock graduate Mollie Whiting, a senior guard, the Spartans have offered some proof of how good they can be so far this season.
The team is off to its best start in school history at 10-1 with Whiting ranking third in the league in scoring at 17.3 points a game.
"We're playing as a team," Whiting said. "We've all come together."
The Spartans begin their conference season at 2 p.m. today at Wartburg.
Along with Whiting leading the team in scoring and assists (26), the Spartans have been aided by having 10 players that contributed at least 13 minutes a game.
"We definitely have a deeper bench than most teams that we play," Whiting said of the team, which is on a school-record nine-game winning streak. "You can tell when [other teams] are getting tired."
The team's bench contributions have come from several local sources, including Woodstock grad Christina Velasquez, a sophomore forward who averages 4.5 points and 3.4 rebounds. Freshman guards Molly Richardson (Marengo) and Haylee Nutter (Woodstock North) contribute 2.4 and 1.3 points a game, respectively.
Whiting, who ranks in the top 10 in program history with more than 1,200 points, has expanded her skills by working on her defense and fitness, according to Noll.
"I really didn't like defense as much," Whiting said.
Now, she ranks eighth in the conference with 1.82 steals a game.
Whiting ranks fourth in the IIAC in field-goal percentage while playing a team-high 24.9 minutes a game.
"She's a deadly scorer," Noll said. "She's very explosive as a player. She fits exactly the type of player we look for in our style."
Whiting hopes to continue her career by playing professionally next season overseas. But if she doesn't leave the country, her future could begin in Dubuque.
Noll said he has offered Whiting a job as his graduate assistant coach.
"I'd love to go play overseas," said Whiting, who hopes to coach on the college level as a career. "But the [graduate assistant] job would be a great opportunity, and it could help lead me to a future job."
Elston part of record-setting relay: Lewis University's men's 200-yard medley relay team, which includes Jacobs grad Alex Elston, broke a 7-year-old school record Dec. 1 in the Carthage College Classic.
With Elston swimming the second leg, the D-II Flyers won in 1:33.76. The time surpassed the previous school best by nearly 2 seconds. The previous record was set Feb. 11, 2004.
Lewis scored 1,536 points to win the six-team Carthage meet. Elston, a freshman, also helped his team win the 200 freestyle relay and the 400 medley relay.
Wismer tackles honor: Richmond-Burton grad Kyle Wismer was named first-team All-Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in football this season.
Wismer, a junior linebacker at D-III Wisconsin-Whitewater, had 42 tackles, nine tackles for loss and two fumble recoveries this season for the Warhawks (7-3). The Whitewater defense ranked second in the nation in scoring defense (10.2 points a game) and rushing defense (52.7 yards a game) this season.
Preseason poll: Oklahoma's women's gymnastics team, which includes Huntley grad Kayla Nowak, is ranked No. 4 in the 2013 GymInfo Preseason Coaches Poll.
OU has been ranked in the preseason top 10 for eight consecutive years and is the defending Big 12 Conference champion.
Nowak, a senior, is coming off a season in which she tied her career-best scores of 9.875 in the beam and a 39.375 in the all-around.
Red-hot Scot Bernhard: Freshman basketball guard Kyle Bernhard is one of D-III Macalester College's top 3-point shooters this season.
Bernhard (Dundee-Crown) has started seven games for the Scots (3-6) of St. Paul, Minn., making 35 percent of his 3-pointers (13 of 41). Bernhard is averaging 4.7 points and 1.3 rebounds a game. He had a team-high 12 points and was 4 for 6 from long range Sunday in a 74-61 loss to Lakeland College.
Kudos for C-G grads: Cary-Grove grads Brandon Coleman and Jake Underwood helped Drake to its second consecutive Pioneer Football League title this season. The local athletes also earned second-team All-PFL honors.
Coleman, a senior defensive end, led the Bulldogs (8-3, 7-1 PFL) with 13.5 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks. Underwood, a junior defensive back, ranked fourth on the team with 63 tackles and had two interceptions.

Background Checks
NCC requires that all candidates seeking Illinois licensure complete a criminal background fingerprint check prior to their field experience in the schools. Students will be responsible for any additional background check requirements for the district in which they are placed. This is consistent with the state law that requires Illinois school districts to conduct criminal background investigations of applicants for licensed and non-licensed positions. The College has chosen Accurate Biometrics to conduct these background checks on its behalf. NCC will not accept criminal background check reports from other sources. A candidate whose background check is clear or states "no record" will be placed in the schools.
Candidates will not be able to register for a course with a field experience until the NCC Department of Education receives a receipt indicating the candidate has completed the check through Accurate Biometrics. Candidates will incur any fees associated with the background check.
Candidates will need to have a background check done when taking EDN 101 or their first field experience if the candidate transferred in EDN 100. A background check is required for the following courses: EDN 101, 201, 211, 229, 281, 302, 325, 327, 330, 332, 352, 361, 371, 373, 381, 384, 385, 461, and 480; and HPE 290 (or any other course requiring interactions with school-age children).
A candidate whose background check is clear or states "no record" will be placed in the schools. If a candidate's background check reveals an arrest and/or conviction a determination regarding placement will be made based on the nature of the crime. Most school districts will place a candidate who has a record if the nature of the crime is such that it would not be a crime that would prohibit the candidate from securing a teaching position/certification.
In instances when an arrest and/or conviction is reported, a candidate may be asked to disclose additional information (relevant details of the arrest or conviction) verbally and/or in writing to the department chair and/or school district, particularly if the charge or conviction involves children and/or includes behavior that the department chair believes could be of concern to a school district that accepted or is considering placement of the candidate. Candidates who refuse to provide additional information about an arrest or conviction may not be placed or may have their placement delayed or canceled. The school in which the candidate is placed/potentially placed has the final decision as to whether or not a candidate with a hit on their background check is able to maintain their placement.
If the department chair determines that the conviction(s) would not prohibit the candidate from securing an Illinois teaching certificate, s/he may ask the candidate to disclose the details of the conviction to the district in which placement(s) are sought. The school in which the candidate is placed/potentially placed has the final decision as to whether or not a candidate with a "hit" on their background check will be accepted for placement. In order to ensure the privacy of candidates, all background checks will be kept in a locked file cabinet accessed only by placement office staff, the department chairperson and the Coordinator of Teacher Education as needed for the placement process.

Please quote me saying that Gallo is a bust for not being at Dirk's level. You cannot, because I never did. What I said was that it was ridiculous to say that Gallo would be the next Dirk, as MSG network, along with many KOL members, was saying and that Gallo would bust because of the superior talent that we passed up on, in order to draft him.
My above-post, from my "a lesson on research thread," proves that Gallo was on a campaign to come to NY. No GM, in his or her right mind, would draft a player that refuses to work out for his or her team and, through the media, has made clear that he will only play for one of two teams, just because of a comment to the contrary, a week before the draft.
Moreover, if Gallo's refusal to play on the team was conjecture, where did it come from? Did someone make it up, in order to set Gallo up for the boos that were rained down on him?
I think my posts have been pretty clear. If you cannot understand them, or feel the need to engage in sophistry, as opposed to honest debate, it is your problem to deal with. Gallo is what he is, the numbers, and the above-articles, prove it. Nothing you say can change that.

By Damian Crilly and Dr. James DaltonPosted Oct. 25, 2013
Water uses energy (for treatment and distribution), energy uses water (for thermal cooling and hydropower generation), agriculture uses both, and modern societies need all three. Land, water and energy systems are interconnected and have become increasingly more complex and dependent on one another.
A rapidly rising global population—on a trajectory to 9 billion people by 2050—and growing prosperity are putting unsustainable pressures on resources against a backdrop of climate change. Recent extremes of droughts and flooding have forced recognition of the closely bound interaction between water, energy and food (the "nexus") and how disturbance and change in one system can destabilize the others. The interconnectedness of water, energy and food is complex. Tackling complex or "wicked" problems cannot be solved by any one sector alone. A more integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to optimizing water, energy and food infrastructure is needed. Although the need for integration is acknowledged, many of our public institutions are divided into "silos," separated by thematic and technical boundaries, principles and practice, often from the top down. The challenges are not all controlled by water agencies. Most water institutions are not mandated and many water policies are not comprehensive or integrated enough to address these complex inter-related problems.
A better understanding of river basins as complex systems is needed. A focus on a systems approach would, we argue, lead to the better application of integrated resource management across the water-energy-food sectors. We suggest that the nexus connectivity between land, water and energy provides a focal point to facilitate integration. Focusing on the sphere of influence between these sectors provides opportunities for collaboration and partnership. Multi-party collaborations that promote infrastructure and technological solutions across the land, water and energy nexus will help to support economic drivers and address how to avoid further damage to our natural ecosystems.

Have you been following the news from Ferguson?
As with most news, only via Anonymous and Al-JazeeraReplyCancel
Yes. Via Twitter, from people who were there, in the crowd. The misinformation about what the crowd was doing (and what they were not actually doing) is staggering.ReplyCancel
Yes indeed, avidly. At the National Moment of Silence vigil last night in Minneapolis, Governor Mark Dayton marched with the people in disgust at the Ferguson PD and the murder of Michael Brown.ReplyCancel
Yes, following. Whatever happened to that young man aside, the police department completely and utterly fucked up what happened next.ReplyCancel
I can't believe I am commenting here. I have read this site daily for maybe 6 years? Anyway I know all of u I feel like.
To the point yes I started following yesterday.
I am appalled at the police state there. The weapons, the violence, the suppression of the press.
I think Brown may have talked trash and may have even acted like a punk. I do not think he went for the cop's gun. I think the cop got trigger happy. With the police response to the crowds it is not a stretch to see how violent these police have been trained.
Disclaimer-I am mid thirties, white, Texas, conservative..I am just not stupid and I don't believe the line of BS that Fox News tries to throw out there.ReplyCancel
Avidly, via Reddit's live feed (http://www.reddit.com/live/tdrph3y49ftn/) and Al-Jazeera America.
In the UK, BBC news website has been balanced in its reportage and included a video made with Radley Balko, author of 'Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America's Police Forces' (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-28782308).
Sorry, I don't know how to create links.
Howdy, Kassie 🙂ReplyCancel
Sending lotsa love to everyone in the area. Stay strong! XoXoReplyCancel
Hi Kassie. Hope u continue to comment. (-:ReplyCancel
Continuing to watch. Just saw the video of Mike Brown and his buddy who talked about the shooting on camera robbing a convenience store here:
This never should have escalated to death. So much wrong with it all.ReplyCancel
No. I follow the news from my house in the PIGS.ReplyCancel
the initial response created the problem, a more experienced police department would have been on top of that shit long time, but they messed up by being too defensive and then for that one police guy to get caught by the media calling the protestors PIG, i knew shit would get out of hand quick.
I think he knew about the robbery BUT remember the role of the police isnt to kill but to apprehend and do so in a way that protects everyone, they should only kill when they realise that the suspect poses a danger to others
@ rajahcat…I concurReplyCancel
Yes. I never thought I would watch on TV armored tanks driving down a US street.. That makes me feel sick.. Sadly this is not the America I was raised in.ReplyCancel
The almost all white police force has been harassing and trying to keep peace by intimidation and violence, everything the Ferguson PD has done publicly proves that. The fact is the kid was unarmed, shot multiple times, from the front and the back, the shooter cop was so afraid to do his job he chose violence and due to poor training in community policing and unarmed child died in a street. Whether he shoplifted or not. Which is what his crime was, I've seen security guards at stores get beaten by women who were caught shoplifting at Macy's more than a shove. Also, the cop never knew there was a robbery at the store or a description, what town of that size wouldn't put that out on a radio call? This is a bumpkin police force, and a dead child is the natural result of poor training and police being terrified of the people they police. Violence first from the chief of police down.ReplyCancel
Heck no, I am not watching ANY of the coverage. When was the last time CNN gave overwhelming coverage to any of the BLACK dictators running Africa into the ground? They almost NEVER talk about THE FACT that most crime is BLACK ON BLACK, not white cop on black.ReplyCancel
The other guys lawyer backtracking on cnn last night was interesting. He was arguing the difference between robbery and shoplifting and theft. And that his client didn't use force to shoplift so it's not robbery. Very entertaining with the back peddlingReplyCancel

Paul Casey, former head of Hawaiian Airlines and former president and CEO of the
Hawai'i Visitors and Convention Bureau, has been named chief executive officer of Island Air.
Casey will begin his new position on May 1.
"We are delighted to have someone with Paul Casey's extensive experience in the airline and travel industries join Island Air," said Paul Marinelli, Island Air director and vice president of Lawrence Investments, LLC. "Paul will be instrumental in the continuing growth of Island Air as we add aircraft and expand service. He is joining our team at an important time and will bring fresh perspective and proven leadership to our efforts."
"Having been part of Hawaii's visitor and airline industries for the past three decades, joining Island Air at this time is an exciting opportunity," said Casey. "I look forward to working with the Island Air team to deliver high-quality air service and provide improved options for interisland travelers."
Marinelli said Les Murashige will continue as Island Air's president, responsible for all day-to-day operations, and will report to Casey.
"Les has done an outstanding job since the change in ownership, as has the entire Island Air team. He will continue to play a critical role in our expansion," said Marinelli.
Casey, who is the current chair of the O'ahu Visitors Bureau, has more than 35 years in international travel and tourism, the airline industry and business. He served as vice chairman, president and CEO of Hawaiian Airlines from 1997 to 2002. He was president and CEO of the Hawai'i Visitors and Convention Bureau from 1995 to 1997 and continues to serve on its board. He was chairman, president and CEO of Continental Air Micronesia from 1987 to 1991 then went on to serve as its vice
president-international division from 1991 to 1994. He currently serves as a consultant on numerous travel-related and business projects in Hawaii and the Asia-Pacific region.
Island Air was purchased by Lawrence J. Ellison in February, securing the future for its 245 employees and expanding travel options in Hawaii for visitors and residents through the introduction of ATR-72 aircraft which offer more seats, legroom and comfort.

Thanks for the Mile High Magic, Tim
- published_in
Manning was being hotly pursued by both the Tennessee Titans and the San Francisco 49ers, but called Broncos Executive Vice President (and a pretty darn good quarterback) John Elway early on Monday morning to tell him he was "looking forward" to playing in the Mile High City.
Manning's contract was relatively easy to work out. The Broncos initially offered a Manning a five-year, $95-million deal, but the team wanted it structured it in a way that will protect the team should Manning's neck, which kept him sidelined for the entirety of 2011, becomes a recurring problem. In the end, the deal gives Manning $96 million over the five years.
While the Manning era is just beginning in Denver, Tebow's future seems to be all but over.
Mike Florio of profootballtalk.com reports that four teams are interested in Tebow – the Jaguars, the Jets, the Packers, and an unknown team.
Jacksonville, whose issues selling tickets have been well documented by this blog, may be most interested in Tebow, because Tebow grew up in the area and won national championships as a Florida Gator, meaning that the Jaguars might actually get a chance to remove the tarps covering the upper bowl of their stadium once and for all. New Jaguars Owner Shahid Kahn has not minced words in his desire to lose the tarps: "To me, everyday I look at the tarps it is like underachieving."
Manning, to his credit, said that he'd welcome the opportunity to play with Tebow. "I know there are decisions to be made. Let me just say this: I know what kind of player Tim Tebow is and what kind of person he is. I've gotten to meet him personally one time, and what an awesome year he had this year. If Tim Tebow is here next year, I'm going to be the best teammate I can be to him and he and I are going to help this team win games. If other opportunities present themselves to him, I'm going to wish him the best. He's going to be a great player wherever he is."

Cubs announce 1-year deal with Stewart
Injured #B signs incentive-based contract
The Chicago Cubs have announced a one-year contract with third baseman Ian Stewart.
Under the deal announced Monday, Stewart is guaranteed $2 million if he makes the opening-day roster and can earn another $500,000 in incentives. Acquired from Colorado last December, he batted .201 in 55 games and had season-ending left wrist surgery.
He became a free agent when the Cubs declined to tender him a 2013 contract.
To make room for Stewart on the 40-man roster, the Cubs designated pitcher Jeff Beliveau for assignment. They also announced a two-year minor league deal with Korean reliever Chang-Yong Lim. He has pitched 17 seasons in Korea and in Japan and is recovering from Tommy John ligament replacement surgery.

I take a Fenugreek capsule (as approved by my doctor) before bed when I take my prenatal vitamin, and I noticed sometimes (more than not) it gives me minor heartburn, or you know if you swallow a pill the wrong way and it feels like it's stuck at the bottom of your throat??? well, it feels like that the rest of the night and sometimes even when I wake up in the morning.
If I take it during the day I feel the same aggitation, like the pill is stuck in my throat. Also, I noticed I can taste the pill (it tastes like black liquorish to me, or Jager!) an hour or so later, or when i wake up in the morning I can taste it or if I burp (ew!).
Has this happened with anyone else? or is it just me. The only time I've ever had heartburn was when I was pregnant, so I don't think I am sensitive. It isn't really enough to discourage me, but it's annoying and uncomfortable no matter how much water I gulp.

"This was a big day for the university," said Todd Simmons, vice-president of marketing for Hawaii Pacific University.
More than a year after HPU paid $14 million to manage Aloha Tower Marketplace; the state gave its unanimous consent on Monday, that Simmons said finally clears the way for them to begin redevelopment.
"We're able to move forward with planning," he said.
Businesses who talked to KITV said it has been tough over the past several years, not only because of less foot traffic, but also because of the leases, some operating only month to month.
"I can only tell you this fight has just begun," said attorney Michael Green.
Green is representing Ed Bushor, who is HPU's remaining partner in the deal, with 20 percent stake in the marketplace's development.
Last fall, the university replaced Bushor as marketplace manager and has been trying to buy him out for months, but on Friday, his attorney's gave the state 168 pages of documentation, that they said, shows HPU entered into "side agreements" to ultimately push Bushor out.
"If there is fraud in the inducement this contract is void. So, they can take any position they want to take. My hope is they have a lot of money, because we're suing them for a lot of money," said Green.
"It's not something we anticipate holding us up," said Simmons.
He said despite the cloud of a costly lawsuit, HPU is expecting to start selling bonds to raise money for demolition and redevelopment in the next month or two.
The university hopes to have completed the project by mid-2014.
The university is planning for everything from student lofts, to a sports center, to a mix of restaurants and retail.
"You don't have to stretch very far to come up with a very positive energy at that place," said Simmons.
The Aloha Tower Development Corporation said in its Monday meeting, board members have yet to see any proof HPU was involved in any questionable dealings to undermine Bushor or other partners.
Bushor has maintained he never wanted to be removed as manager or relinquish his share of the deal.
Bushor's attorney said the state should have waited until they get through arbitration or at least mediation before making any kind of decision.
Bushor and HPU are scheduled for mediation on January 28th.

Shackled by promises
Is there such a thing as domestic trafficking or sex trafficking in Samoa? Let's go on a short journey into our own households. Do you have any person brought in to take care of all the household chores 24/7 in sickness or in health ie: cooking, cleaning, washing, laundry, child care or elderly care with no respite or pay?
Then there are the plantation workers, gardeners and landscapers who provide all the labor and food preparation with no pay because they are "family members". Then of course, let's not forget those brought in with skills ie; carpenters, plumbers, electricians, seamstresses, mechanics etc. Their pay is substandard or live in over-crowded living quarters, neglectful attire and physical condition to include poor food or what they can forage?
Even more sad is when the domestic person has a family. They themselves will be subjected to a subservient role for life. Their children will remain as shadows. Many men have been sent into the mountains as plantation foremen where their children are brought up in squalor, not allowed to better themselves. They are there to improve the lot of the sponsor and the continuous enslavement for their children. These are high risk shadow children open for abuse, abandonment, exploitation and trafficking. The skilled ones are farmed out on lateral contracts. Many are denied the freedom to worship as they choose.
If you're interested, check out your home or environment and see is there such a person there. You'll find to no surprise, they do not have access to their passports or birth certificates. You'll also find it disturbing that you've never really paid attention to these 3rd and 4th class family members and took it for granted this is their lot in life. A trafficked person can go as far back as 2nd or 3rd generation. Because we did not have the letter of the law, it was considered the accepted Islander's way of life for lower class citizens, aliens, and foreigners? (I say this with tongue in cheek)
I'm pretty sure if you take the time to talk to some of them, you'll find out, they were lured here and promised opportunities for education, employment and would be able to send money home. It has been reported that many domestic workers are forced to turn over their pay checks to their sponsors. These situations surface when the domestic is faced with desperation and a crime is committed by him/her in retaliation.
It is also the norm for them to be physically and emotionally abused and threatened. All this abuse is easily covered up with the same old saying, fa'alogo gata (hard headed), le usitai (disobedient), paie (lazy) le aog'a (good for nothing) etc. Witnessing a domestic being physically beaten, emotionally crushed one moment, then soothed with kind words and food the next, is the norm. At the same time they are blamed for their own punishment. It appears to be a form of conditioning, a slow strangulation process for them to conform to the master or mistress of the household. It's about absolute power and control.
Where can they go as foreigners for help, how can they escape when the need and pull to survive is stronger, forcing them to remain and submit. They are chained by empty promises for a better life. Many are hog tied because their papers have been confiscated by their sponsors. These are the people who are held against their wishes and forced into life long servitude and enslavement or used as scapegoats. There is the fear of returning back to their home as failures to persevere. Unknowingly, these people are easily traded or sent to other households for forced labor-- or to the wharfs as prostitutes.
They have absolutely no say in the matter. They leave with these words on the sponsors lips;" be obedient, work hard and be trustworthy. Your new host will take care, provide and love you". Meanwhile a dollar bill will never cross their palms.
For the past 40 years, I've seen enough elderly people being abused through conditioned and forced labor in Upolu and in American Samoa. They are at the point where they are just happy to have a little authority by seniority, a place to rest their head when they can and have something to eat. They are the labor force that keeps the domestic workers moving and kept in line. Many have not been back to their islands since they were first brought to American Samoa. However many are returned when they are too old, disabled, become medical liabilities or just to die. I've heard it being called, "The one way ticket for a well deserved vacation"…with the hollow promise to return.
More is the pity for female children. Their parents are powerless to protect them from the unwanted attentions of the sponsor or predators within the family, school or village. They are the easiest preys to be lured and subdued towards being sexualized.
Children living in these conditions are the easiest to traffic. All it takes is a promise to help their families as they are led to an awaiting pedophile. These children are silenced by threats. But we don't call it sex trade or sex trafficking. We call it tautala'itiiti, le a'oaia, matavalea (cheeky, forward, undisciplined, stupid fool). If you notice, it blames the child, not the predator, the pedophile, the parent or the sponsor.
The year 2012 has already begun with the increase of children being sexualized, raped, endangered and abused. Until we start looking within our own beloved family or aiga situation and educate ourselves on domestic, sex trafficking and slavery, we will always remain in denial as God fearing people who value hospitality. We the people of American Samoa will be the gateway that allows domestic and sexual trafficking by victim blaming and condoning the behavior. Many situations go undetected due to lack of awareness.
We are already tainted by International trafficking ie; the infamous clothing factory incident and the Red Door scandal on prostitution. As unpleasant as it is to view our families as traffickers by using the culture and adoption, we are already seeing the ugly fruits of step fathers, grandfathers and fathers of adopted female babies, molesting and raping them at the age of 12 – 16.
In isolated homes, villages or islands, child victims are invited to stay with their aiga members. These victims are usually between 10 and 16 years of age. The crimes of molestation and rape are usually instigated by the aunts or mothers to provide sexual gratification for their spouses or partners. When the children tell, they are immediately threatened by the adult females to remain silent. Do you know of one such situation?
As the prosecutor Mitzie Folau stated, "If you don't report it…who will?"

"I love racing, but it is time to stop so we can restart for 2013. This type of year grinds you down. Having a positive attitude goes a long way, but at the same time you need to be a realist and understand what is going on."
LOOKING BACK: It was a long, long weekend for Burton and the 31 team. He crashed on both Friday and Saturday forcing the team to spend the entire weekend rebuilding race cars. Burton started last because of the two accidents. He rallied to finish 13th. "Just a solid effort from the 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet team," said Burton. "We wrecked two cars and for these guys to come back and give this kind of effort was amazing. Just a great rebound and all the credit goes to the crew."
ETC.: Burton believes the future at RCR is going to be a bright one. "I feel really good about what we've done structurally for 2013 compared to 2012," said Burton, "We have a better plan and the people in correct roles who can execute the plan. I'm very encouraged about everything we have going on at RCR."
1 JAMIE MCMURRAY, Chevrolet
Team: Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates
WHERE HE STANDS: 20th, 247 points out of 13th place.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: Three top-10 finishes in 10 starts. Set the qualifying record in 2003 with a lap of 181.11 miles per hour.
LOOKING AHEAD: McMurray said, "It's hard to believe that we are down to the final race of the season. I am looking forward to the Homestead-Miami race; I really enjoy racing there since they reconfigured the track. Hopefully we can finish out the season strong with a good run in our Bass Pro Shops Chevy."
LOOKING BACK: McMurray finished 23rd at Phoenix. "We fought with the balance of the Bass Pro Shops/Allstate Chevy all day," said McMurray. "The guys did a great job in the pits, but the long green flags runs didn't play into our strategy. We'll continue working hard as we head to the final race of the season."
ETC: McMurray has only three top-10 finishes this season. That is one less than 2011 – a year that car owner Chip Ganassi called "pathetic." But McMurray believes "all the changes we have made this year have been good ones and we have high hopes for the new car we will be running in 2013."
43 ARIC ALMIROLA, Ford
Team: Richard Petty Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: 21st, 260 points out of 13th place.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: Finished fourth in the 2010 race. He did not compete in last year's event.
LOOKING AHEAD: Almirola said, "I kind of wish the season wasn't ending. We've really hit on some good team chemistry with Todd Parrott (crew chief) and the guys since we started working together two months ago and the results have been showing on track. We've had some fast cars and really good runs and we'll look to do even better at Homestead, maybe even with a win."
LOOKING BACK: Despite being involved in the incident triggered when Jeff Gordon slammed into Clint Bowyer on purpose, Almirola was able to limp across the finish line in 16th place. "We started out really, really good and then took two tires on one of those stops (about midway in the race) and started going backwards," said Almirola. "Our car never handled the same after that. Still, we were running good when the 24 wrecked the 15."
ETC.: Parrott points out "we've had some good results on the mile-and-a-half's with Aric. So I think we can end the season with a bang. Homestead is a good track for Aric. It's fast with multiple grooves and you can run all over the place. And the banking varies for each groove, so you can run different lines and see where your car runs best."
47 BOBBY LABONTE, Chevrolet
Team: JTG Daugherty Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 23rd, 338 points out of 13th place.

Blackmail and brinkmanshipJuly 25,2013
President Obama went to the heartland Wednesday to promote his economic agenda, warning that partisan gridlock in Washington imperils the nations halting recovery from the Great Recession.
Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress have unveiled budget proposals suggesting they do not intend to retreat from the politics of blackmail and brinkmanship, pushing scorched earth budget cuts and trying to gut progressive economic policies.
As 2013 moves toward 2014, the Republicans may be heading toward their own Battle of Gettysburg, a desperate, last-ditch effort to undo the Obama presidency before the elections of 2014. Or they may attempt their version of the Civil Wars Wilderness campaign, a blazing, inconclusive battle of attrition that Republicans believe they can win.
The danger for Republicans is that the agenda they are pushing is out of sync with the views of the American people, and if they succeed in forcing the federal government to its knees, they will reap a major portion of the blame. The danger for Democrats is that the people will be so disgusted they blame both parties. It must be Obamas goal to make sure the American people know the nature of the disastrous choices the Republicans are pushing.
His appearance in Illinois on Wednesday was said to be the first of several appearances where he will attempt to drive home his economic and political message. He should not be shy about it. He ought to press a hell-raising, barnstorming campaign to warn the American people about what the Republicans are up to and to show that there is a better way.
The Republicans appear to be pressing their budget-cutting battle on several fronts. In the House, members have announced a series of draconian cuts that would cripple important functions of government on behalf of a narrow ideological agenda. These cuts were detailed in a story in The New York Times on Wednesday. Here are some of them:
Cut the Environmental Protection Agency by 34 percent and eliminate regulations limiting greenhouse gas emissions at power plants.
Reduce the amount requested by Obama for renewable energy and energy efficiency by more than two-thirds.
Eliminate the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Cut education grants for poor students by 16 percent.
Cut Amtrak by a third.
Cut the Securities and Exchange Commission funding by 18 percent.
Cut clean water grants by 83 percent.
Cut the Internal Revenue Service by 24 percent.
Cuts proposed by Republicans are said to be the most serious since 1995, when House Speaker Newt Gingrich engineered a government shutdown, which proved to be politically suicidal for Republicans.
Meanwhile, Republicans in the Senate are seeking to hold the Affordable Care Act hostage. Three of the most conservative senators, Ted Cruz of Texas, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Mike Lee of Utah, have drafted a letter saying they will not approve any spending measures if any money at all is spent on Obamacare. Never mind that states all across the country, including Vermont, are building wholly new health care programs based on Obamacare and are expecting federal money. Never mind that millions of Americans are already enjoying the benefits of Obamacare, as the bill expands access to health care. Republican leaders, bowing to the most ideologically extreme members of their party, have signed on to the health care blackmail scheme.
The American people are sick of these Republican tactics. Not only do extreme budget cuts target vital programs. Economically, budget austerity in Europe and Japan has proven to be a failed means to achieve economic recovery. The United States economic performance since the advent of the recession has outshone that in Europe precisely because Obama has worked to avoid the extreme austerity measures pushed by the mindless budget cutters among Republicans in Congress.
A small group of Republican senators, with John McCain as their leader, is showing signs it will reject the blackmail and brinkmanship that have proven so disastrous in recent years. That is one good sign. Obamas willingness to take this fight to the American people is another good sign. The people will be on his side if he aggressively seeks their support.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

For Immediate Release June 26, 2013Contact: Jeremy Warren, 512-463-0113
"Over my strenuous objections, the Texas Senate just passed House Bill 2, an unprecedented, unreasonable, and unconscionable attack on women's health that will eliminate reproductive health care services in all but four of Texas' 254 counties.
"Tonight was an extremely disappointing moment in the struggle for women's rights and the movement to ensure all Texas families have access to affordable and quality health care.
"On the heels of a major assault on our voting rights by a right wing Supreme Court, tonight is another reminder of the need for all of us who truly care about advancing the cause of democracy that the fight continues. We must push forward and stand together to protect the rights of Texas families from attempts to reverse our nation's proud history of evolving towards greater equality and justice for all.
"Instead of talking about how we can improve education, expand access to quality health care, or protect voting rights, the debate again centered on eroding access to care for Texas women. According to recent polling, 80 percent of Texans wanted lawmakers to focus on those issues--like education, jobs, and the economy--in special session, not bring up divisive issues like reproductive rights.
"House Bill 2 is not based on indisputable medical evidence or even best medical practices. Supporters of this legislation claim it will protect women's health, but if this were true then why did the Texas Medical Association, Texas Hospital Association, and Texas Chapter of American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists object to its passage?
"The sad truth is that Texas is failing our mothers, failing our children, and failing to focus on solutions that help all Texans. Texas women and families deserve better.
"After all, there is a health care crisis facing Texas families. Approximately 30 percent of Texas women and 16 percent Texas children lack health insurance. Twenty-five percent of Texas children live in poverty. In Houston, 28 percent of children live in poverty. We know that by improving access to health insurance for these women and children, improving quality prenatal and postnatal medical care, expanding childhood nutrition programs, and providing early childhood education, we can truly improve the health and safety of women and children - both born and unborn.
"If we are sincere about expanding the quality of care for women and children, we should implement policies that truly improve the lives of Texans, and not those that endanger women's health.
"Last week, my Senate Democratic colleagues and I filed an alternative package of bills that would provide better prenatal and early-childhood health care to mothers and babies who need but often can't afford it. The bills would protect women in Texas and ensure that they have access to the health care they need to make the best decisions about their lives and their bodies:
"Rather than focus on divisive policies like HB 2, the Senate would have been wise to pass common-sense measures like those above, which will actually help women and children across the state. For hours we offered amendments that would actually reduce the need for abortions, provide quality healthcare to more women and children, and give women better opportunities to provide for their families; however each one was shot down and rejected.
"Though we took a step backwards in the Senate today, we will continue to stand up for the rights of Texas women and push forward in the fight to improve access to quality and affordable health care for all Texas families. Thank you for your support and dedication these past few weeks."

In a report presented to trustees June 10, the district's business manager, Carol Estes, calculated that it costs the district $251 for each transfer student. But the profit for each student is $1,063.
The $251 cost per student is broken down to include:
•$119 — employee salaries and benefits
•$76 — books, paper, athletics
•$35 — bus purchases
•$16 — utilities, professional developments and legal services
•$4 — teacher and student travel
Of the $251 for each student, the state pays $201 and local funds provide $50, leaving a pure profit of $812 per student.
The report shows that S-TISD receives $6,862 for each student. The cost to educate that student is $5,799, leaving a profit margin of $1,063 for each student.
Estes compiled the report because Trustee Troy Hughes questions whether the district should institute a transfer fee for Beeville students the district buses each day to school.
"A board member was concerned that the district was spending local dollars to the detriment of local taxpayers to educate students from surrounding districts," explained S-TISD Superintendent Dr. Brett Belmarez.
"Clearly, the report indicates this is not the case," he says.
The business office has issued similar reports previously, about every five years; the latest was the first report generated since Hughes was elected as a trustee.
"I would say the reaction from the board was appreciative, maybe a little bit shocked," Belmarez said.
A graph in the report plotting the estimated yearly profits, indexed to the number of transfer students, indicates around 270 students from various districts have transferred to S-TISD, for an annual net profit of more than $220,000.
"Sometimes, school districts get accused of not being good businessmen," Belmarez says. "I think this report refutes that."

The North Korean army is warning Washington that its military has been cleared to wage an attack using "smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear" weapons.
The threat from the unnamed army spokesman early Thursday is latest in a series of escalating warnings from North Korea, which has railed for weeks against joint U.S. and South Korean military exercises taking place in South Korea and has expressed anger over tightened sanctions for a February nuclear test.
The spokesman said in a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency that troops have been authorized to counter U.S. aggression with "powerful practical military counteractions."
This comes after the Department of Defense announced it will deploy ballistic missile defense system to Guam in the coming weeks to counter the possible threat from North Korea.
Asia-Pacific security experts say North Korea has little chance of hitting Hawaii, even with its most sophisticated missile.

Spring Game to benefit UW Pharmacy School
Andersen's debut April 20th
For the third year in a row, the University of Wisconsin athletic department is teaming up with a department on campus to present the football team's annual spring game.
This year, the Spring Game will benefit the UW School of Pharmacy, with all profits from the ticket sales going to the School of Pharmacy.
"Three years ago, the athletic department decided we would use proceeds from the spring game and partner with a department on campus to provide them assistance financially," UW Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez said. "It's been a very positive experience working with the other departments, plus it's a two-way street. It also helps us promote the spring game.
"This year we're pleased to announce that we'll partner with the School of Pharmacy. We're very excited about that and excited to work with them. Jeanette (Roberts, the Dean of the School of Pharmacy) has assured me that they will promote and outdo the previous two departments."
This year's spring game, the official Badgers debut of new head coach Gary Andersen, will be held on April 20 at 2 p.m. at Camp Randall Stadium. Tickets to the game are $5 and can be ordered at UWBadgers.com, by calling the UW Athletic Ticket Office at 1-800-GO-BADGERS or by stopping by the ticket office at Camp Randall Stadium.
Last year, the athletic department teamed with the UW Center for Nonprofits in the UW School of Human Ecology to help fund student internships for UW students within nonprofit organizations. Proceeds from the 2011 game went to the UW School of Nursing and helped fund Signe Skott Cooper Hall, which is currently under construction. The UW School of Pharmacy will use the proceeds from this year's game to fund scholarships for continuing UW students.
"We are absolutely thrilled to be the 2013 partner with UW Athletics for the spring football game," Jeanette Roberts, the Dean of the School of Pharmacy said. "We will be devoting the proceeds of the spring game to our Great People Scholarship Program. This is all need-based scholarships, a program that was originated two or three years ago now, and we're absolutely committed to reducing the student debt load of our graduates and promoting the fact that pharmacy education can and should be accessible for any qualified student regardless of socioeconomic status."
UW has made three consecutive appearances in the Rose Bowl and is coming off an unprecedented third-straight Big Ten title. A number of talented players from last year's team return, including running backs James White and Melvin Gordon, wide receiver Jared Abbrederis, tight end Jacob Pedersen, linebacker Chris Borland and defensive linemen David Gilbert and Beau Allen.
Andersen comes to Madison after leading Utah State to a school-record 11 wins in 2012. He was a finalist for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year award as the Aggies went undefeated in the WAC and captured their first outright league title since 1936. USU finished the season ranked 16th in the Associated Press Poll, just the third time in school history the Aggies have been ranked in the final poll of the season.
The Badgers will begin spring practice on Saturday, March 9.

Engineers and experts in the field made a solid case for both the widespread availability of brackish water in Texas and the improved technologies of desalination to tap into that source. They established that the Jasper aquifer here was mostly untapped at some 1,500 feet deep other than some old city wells drilled in the middle of the last century, sources of Beeville's once-famously flavorful water.
Another water quality specialist explained that the byproduct from the proposed process shouldn't be confused with brine or seawater, but had been approved at even higher salinity levels by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality at other sites to flow directly into open streams.
While the feasibility of the one big well and desalination plan was explored and shored up somewhat with some simple cost comparisons, some larger questions remain open.
The fact that the council has produced this all-or-nothing proposal with only a few months for the community to decide is just poor leadership. While the council chased butterflies for the past couple of years with its massive parks program, many citizens have been pointing to the city's urgent need for water and the dwindling supplies at the lake. This was no huge secret.
So now with Corpus Christi telling us we may not have surface water in less than two years, we're backed into a corner. Sure, we can say that's just water under the bridge but, frankly, it's poor planning.
Putting all our eggs in one basket with the one big well approach only answers our diversification of sources issue at a minimal level. So what happens if we are indeed forced off surface water in a few years and then the well sands up or the desalination plant breaks down? Ideally, we should be in both the Goliad and Jasper aquifers with several wells at minimum to diversify our sources. The old adage that a three-legged stool is more stable than a two-legged one comes to mind.
Another big question is if we tie up our available credit with the one big well project, how do we as a community address the existing surface water system with aging infrastructure and leaky pipeline that is in dire need of repair? There's also the question of other community needs like the school system and how much taxation can local citizens afford?
Thursday's hearing was informative but is only a beginning to flesh out some answers before the citizens can fully come to terms with whether this is the best approach. Unfortunately, this hearing and bond issue are occurring two to three years later than optimal for fully vetting multiple options.
As demonstrated at the federal level, the citizens are the losers when governed by crisis. The one big well and desalination plant may work but it would have been nice to make the decision without waiting until there's a gun pointed to our head.
