Great reminder. I remember talking on the phone with one of my employees. It was a day off and my family and I were driving somewhere. My employee called me to give me an update on a bunch of things that were happening and at the end of the call, I said "good job". I hung up the phone and my wife turned to me and said - that wasn't good enough, you need to tell your employee what they specifically did that was good. High fives, thumbs up, and "good job" can go so much farther when you add something specific to it... like "Good job on that phone call, I like how you said X".

I have my old bills too. Natural gas is about the same price is was 15 years ago. Gasoline is less costly than it was when oil prices were over $100 per barrel. How many more devices do you have to plug in or on all the time (TV for one) than you did 15 years ago? That has more to do with the overall cost than the increase in kilowatt hours. All the money goes to goods and services you use or rely on whether it is health care, road maintenance, police, EI so that women get paid mat leave, etc.

It is a great thing, Jennifer, to teach young women that they are powerful, strong, and, in multifaceted ways, beautiful. But it must be difficult to do this important mission in a Catholic school when the Church hierarchy and their idiotic laws themselves conspire against that message in the ways that count most: in action, policy, and opportunity. I'm sure you and the young women you teach rail daily against the Church's nice words that go nowhere—go nowhere with a vengeance.

I completely agree with safe storage of food to prevent these tragedies, but I'm curious as to where she should have eaten her food (since she was actively eating)... outside in the rain or in a vehicle (if she had one with her)?? Everyone seems opposed to eating in the tent. I'm open to suggestions in case I'm caught in the rain while hungry and backpacking. I've always practiced safe storage but you are vulnerable while you are eating. Just eat quickly and clean up immediately is all I can think to do. It sucks how many bears are being killed this year. They have learned that there are too many careless humans around with food and the "victims" may not be the ones who "trained" them. For instance the boy who was dragged out of the tepee.

Scratch the glossy surface and it it is apparent to me that virtually nothing has changed in the psyche of the Arab Middle East.

At the dire risk of sounding overly cynical, the situation as it exists is simply because we desire a representative form of government. Consider: if the Hawaii electorate, on average, isn't expected to think critically before casting votes for elected representatives, should we be at all surprised when poorly conceived rules and regulations escape intelligent scrutiny and are passed into law? We see this happening over and over, with the much criticized (by all sides) plastic bag "ban" being just another example. Sometimes as a society we get the results we rightly deserve.

"If she was missing school and the parents were notified but did nothing to correct the absences, were they at least partially culpable for the dysfunction?" Wasn't that the point the law that the teenager championed? To prevent school districts from blaming parents when the districts fail to do their job? The parents appear to have done their due diligence: They approached the school before enrolling their child; they sought help from school personnel and then district administrators; and, finally, they filed a complaint with the state department of ed. Would you make this same accusation if the student couldn't attend school because she was in a wheelchair and there was no ramp? Clearly, she needed accommodations, including an IEP, and the district ignored her; how is that her parents' fault?

As the mom of the child allergic to wheat, dairy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts and shellfish, I would like to respond to your comments. (a) While it poses challenges, I would not call it "awful" but thank you for your compassion. Stress results from the implication that he should manage this by himself. He is a child who needs support & guidance from the adults around him, especially at school where he spends most of his day. (b) all of his allergens are not restricted in his school. Together with the school staff, we have applied strategies that reduce his risk of exposure to allergens. Each child's needs are different & 1-size-fits-all approach is not the way. Factors such as age, maturity, where kids eat (cafeteria vs classroom) should be considered. Steps to limit risk of exposure & education are not mutually exclusive; to be effective they need to go hand in hand. The issue is the lack of guidance to Boards and schools about practical and realistic steps needed to keep kids safe.

Factual information is self-validating. The most glaring example of Black Privilege is that which is enjoyed by Barack Obama. He is at best an incompetent fool, with the most secretive administration ever...... but his Black Privilege status keeps him from being described this way by the PC media. Black Privilege demands that Black rappers who sing the dirtiest, foulest words about women and killing police officers are celebrated as “artists" ..... even at White House parties hosted by the Obamas. One of the major appeals of Barack Obama was his promise to unify people, that he had a record of working with people from the other side. In a famous speech, he proclaimed that there are no blue states or red states, there is only the United States. He also consciously implied that he could reconcile the racial conflict, especially since he is half white and half black. Lies. America is way more divided now than when he was first elected.

The Canada Council Art Bank is a good example of how the Federal Government wastes money. The Federal Government is the customer that rents the vast majority of art from that building, very little is rented by private companies. And the rental fees are high: You sign on to a two year agreement in which time you pay about 20 percent the appraised value of the piece. What a way to burn money. If the Federal government simply bought the art outright, it would pay no rent and, after ten years, would be saving money every year forward, indeed saving the price of the piece every ten years. That is what most private businesses do that want art on display, they buy it. But then private businesses do not have an endless supply of taxpayer money to burn...
