For generations, the fishing families of Kaʻūpūlehu lived in harmony with land and sea, sustainably growing and harvesting what was needed. As change came to their home, these families worked to protect the practices that sustained their ancestors by encouraging voluntary catch limits, participating in regional fishery initiatives, and sharing traditional fishing methods and educational materials; yet despite these efforts, marine life continued to decline. In 2009, following decades of loss, members of the KMLAC began developing a culturally-rooted, community-based plan to replenish the marine life that sustains the people within the ahupua‘a of Kaʻūpūlehu and beyond. A copy of the current rule proposal can be found at: http://dlnr.hawaii.gov/dar/files/2014/05/HAWAII.13-60.4dr.pdf

Nearly every other Nero Race has a special term for people who offend them and associated traditions for it. We need to spread the glory of the Fungee Mungee to all corners of Tyrra, and adding it to the official racial handbook is the biggest step towards that goal.

I purchased a used 2010 Expedition with 97k miles. It has multiple points on the rear hatch of bubbling paint, which indicate corrosion. The local Ford dealer filed the warranty claim only to be denied by Ford MoCo.

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is the most popular Wilderness area in America. At 1.1 million acres in size, it is the largest Wilderness area east of the Rockies and north of the Everglades. The Boundary Waters offers 1,200 miles of canoe and kayak routes, 237.5 miles of overnight hiking trails and 2,000 designated campsites, and is home to unique wildlife including lynx, wolves, moose and loons. For 50 years the Wilderness Act has protected this special place. But, it is now jeopardized by recent proposals to bring sulfide-ore copper mining – a risky type of mining that has never before been permitted in Minnesota – to places where pollution will drain into the Wilderness itself. Byproducts of sulfide-ore copper mining include hazardous pollutants such as sulfuric acid and heavy metals, which could permanently ruin the pristine water and unspoiled forests of this place. Pollution from these mines would flow right into the heart of the Boundary Waters as well as impact Voyageurs National Park. These beloved national treasures offer unparalleled outdoor experiences to millions of people, and help drive the economy of Northeastern Minnesota, where tourism supports 18,000 jobs and brings $850 million in sales annually to the region.

The Progressive Change Institute asked voters whether they support a massive infrastructure program that would create millions of jobs. It was popular by 71% to 18% -- a bipartisan landslide. The public wants big action! Now, Senator Bernie Sanders is proposing a huge, $1 trillion infrastructure program -- which would create jobs repairing crumbling bridges and roads, expanding high-speed Internet, and increasing access to clean energy.

In recent weeks, many students have pushed for more comprehensive conversations about important matters such as race and mental health. If these conversations are to ever take place in a genuine way, our students should be exposed to all perspectives, not just ones they are comfortable hearing. If there is to be widespread engagement in these conversations, every student must feel safe to express him or herself without fear of retaliation and defamation. Thus, the AAS should add a clause barring its members from illicit discrimination particularly in, but not limited to, its allocation of funding. The Amherst College Honor Code states that, “Every student enjoys the right to full participation in the academic and social life of the college, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, ethnic identification, age, political affiliation and/or belief, sexual orientation, gender … economic status or physical or mental disability.” It continues: “Every student bears the responsibility to protect the rights of all to express their views.” It's time for the AAS Constitution to reflect that, and for AAS senators to be held to the same standard as every other student. Only Amherst College students may sign. Read here for more information: http://amherststudent.amherst.edu/?q=article/2014/12/10/amend-aas-constitution-fight-discrimination

I'm tired of seeing useless petitions.

To persuade princepals of east perry to let me create a book club at school

The largest rally against fracking in California history is coming up on February 7th -- The March for Real Climate Leadership -- and whether or not you can join us in person, we need you to sign the petition demanding Governor Jerry Brown ban fracking in California now, so we can deliver your demands right to his doorstep in Oakland! New York’s Governor took an unprecedented step by completely outlawing fracking -- now it’s California’s turn. But while Gov. Brown laid out bold plans to address climate change in his recent inaugural address, he made ZERO mention of the extreme dangers that fracking has to the health and safety of our communities. THIS is a game-changing moment for the climate movement in California. We applaud Gov. Brown's bold plans to address the climate crisis in California. But how can California claim to be a global leader in the fight against climate change while also allowing Big Oil to frack up our state and release millions of tons of carbon into the air that climate scientists agree must stay inside the earth? This is even before you factor in how fracking endangers the health of our communities, poisons our scarce water supplies, and increases the risk of catastrophic earthquakes Now is the time for Gov. Brown to show real climate leadership.

In order for easy passage of emergency response vehicles, the special needs school bus, and commuters and for the safety of pedestrians and for children playing outside, we petition for the Waterleaf HOA covenant to be amended to discontinue the allowance of parking on the streets between 5:30 am - 11:00 am and between 2:00 pm - 5:30 am.

We support PPS using a survey as one tool in its outreach to parents. We expect PPS to take our privacy rights seriously too. Build trust by hearing parents on this privacy policy change and we will spread the word on the survey. Thank-you!
