Finger in the Proverbial Dike

How about finding solutions to the causes, instead of trying to patch it from the results side?

Sorry

Sorry for your loss Joe!

Out of Touch

"Bank of America spokesman T.J. Crawford dismissed the demonstration as a publicity stunt."

Just goes to show how out of touch these Wall St giants have become.

No Worries

I'm not that concerned about it. It was probably there all along and I was looking too hard! Thanks for responding!

Thank You!

Did you change the first sentence? I made sure I read it over a few times before I posted my question. :-)

Date?

I see the times for the event, but not the actual day. Does anyone know what day this is taking place?

Oh, what would we do?

What would we do without these public officials wanting to be our constant nanny? Are they supposed to be spending their time figuring out solutions to the job issue? ARGH!

Please Read Again

I think you got the facts wrong. He was wearing the back pack when he drove the tractor out of the woods.

Why Only Combat Vets?

Curious as to why the services are only offered to combat vets? I served for 14 years, but none of it in a combat area. Seems kind of odd.

We Aren't Meant to Understand

We'll never understand what flipper in her brain. For those of faith, know that she has to answer for her actions.

Very sad and upsetting storyline.

Protection

Why aren't they wearing any protection, helmets, gloves, elbow/knee pads? Shouldn't that be a requirement for a sanctioned skate park?

Great Country

I was stationed outside Tokyo for 6 years. It was such a wonderful experience. The Japanese were always very friendly and helpful to me. If you made an effort to respect their customs, they would bend over backwards for you. It is so sad to see the devastation left by this disaster. My hope is that they re-build even stronger this time around. I'm sure they will bounce back quickly. They are a hard-working and proud people.

Classy

Way to show up for court in your best t-shirt and hoody! No respect for themselves, so how can we expect them to respect anybody or anything else?

Timeline

If you remember the story from yesterday - this all started over 5 months ago with the democrats were in power. Stop trying to make this out to be so black and white about dems vs republicans when it is not. Thank you.

Direct Cremation of Maine

Posted on the bottom of their website:

At Direct Cremation of Maine we feel a deep sense of gratitude to all of the veterans who have provided so much for our country. As a small token of our appreciation we will handle the filing of Veterans Administration paperwork for you. This includes:

* Burial Benefits Application
* U.S. Flag Application
* Government Headstone Application

If desired we will also arrange for burial in a veterans cemetery.

Not exactly putting their money where their mouth is!

Darn!

Was hoping for the Best Buy gift certificate! Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Congrats!

Great Job!

Great job Maine State Police! Sounds like a good case built up to prosecute this deviant and put him away for what I hope is a lifetime.

It turns my stomach knowing there are humans out there who do this stuff.

Why?

If $29K is not enough after 30 years, why do you stick with it? If it is something you love to do, then there should no quibling about what this girl is going to be paid. I graduated college in '06 after many years in the Air Force and my first job out of school paid me about the same as this young lady will make - and my experience had little to do with the position I took.

Very nice to read all positive comments on a story! Can't partake of the goodies because of diabetes, but I wish you many successful years on Park St!

Really...

No, really, I didn't mean it as a pun. I couldn't think of a better word at the moment.

Good Idea - Bad Execution

No pun intended there.

I think he makes a very valid point of just how ignorant many Americans are about where their food comes from. I don't believe the school has any right to impose any kind of sanction or punishment on him. To the "women" that wanted him expelled, I would have to say grow up - not everything in this world is butterflies and rainbows.

Good luck in the future Dane.

On Any Other Day...

this would be disgusting. But to have them do these heinous acts on Veterans Day makes it even more despicable. I don't know what a just punishment is, but I hope it's more than just a slap on the wrist.

Not Insinuating

They aren't insinuating anything, just stating the news that he has cancelled his appearance that he had already agreed to attend.

Sounds like the typical playbook going around with other Tea Party candidates!

Your BS Detector is Broken

The jobs were already here. The employees who are working here moved from Bates Mills and the Sparetime Calling Center. Now that the new facility has been completed, TD Bank will be able to add an additional 250 more workers. NEW JOBS to the area - so take your BS Detector back to China where it was probably manufactured! Learn how to read.

Amen to that Nancy! What sad lives some of the posters on here must live.

I disagree

The food today is a lot more processed and full of high fructose corn syrup. All thanks to the over subsidizing of the corn industry.

Colby

This story and the comments that go with it are very similar to an event that took place up at Colby College a couple of years ago. The guily parties were prosecuted and convictions were handed down. Let the system do its job. This is not a Law & Order or CSI episode - it takes longer than an hour to perform investigations and build strong cases.
