DISQUS

Nerves of steel - It's so refreshing to see your post, for a minute, I thought I was reading my mind..I am from CO, I took REG on 5/29...I am probably 74 to 75 case..Cheers

Jeff,

Thanks for all your help. I got my BEC score (87). Great stuff and this site is just too good to be true..

cheers

Jeff,

I cleared cache and tried using all the different web browsers - but no luck...any suggestion to check BEC thru CO?

Thanks again..

Sorry typo..meant to say NASBA on the last line..

Jeff,

I am an international student and took BEC on 5/26 thru CO jurisdiction. I can't seem to find my score on NASBA site - do you know if they are still posting or they don't post scores of international students on NASA?

Any idea?

Cheers

Someone posted on CPANET that CO is up, but I can't seem to find mine though..

Would anything do? As much as I sympathize with protesters, I really don't know if anything proposed would have made them happy.  I don't see the big problem here really, neither do I see a perfect solution.

They really could not get much closer to the site under any other plan.

good answer - thank you

economic stimulus package? What kind of economic stimulus package would you propose?  There is concern that any proposed package would not be implemented fast enough.  Most of the packages being thrown around out there, by Bush and some of the presidential candidates seem like they will be slow to enact and have hardly any effect.  What is the best answer here?

EU blames US for economic troubles Now since the EU is blaming the US for the current economic troubles, what would your answer be for them and other foreign powers to help fix our current recession and give foreign markets faith that going forward we will have our ship in order and we will fix the Bush-era policies that put us here?

thanks Charley I'm probably on all those lists already, so no need to add me to any, but thanks. 

I know groups that are planning peace marches in the size you suggest, and they are professional organizers who do not have a problem with the normal procedures of permitting.  They also have no public funding, however, they do see the need to raise a million or so just so they can actually fund a march of that size properly. 

I am just concerned that there are interests here (not you Charley) that have an agenda to make havoc, and building a meme of "the cops are all bad" or "the city is corrupt" or "it's the guv'munt vs. the people" is a bullet point in their game plan.  I just don't buy it.  Sure things can go wrong, and there are real concerns, but these permits just aren't one of them.

I also read MNBlue regularly and enjoy your writing.

please be creative What I hope we don't see are a bunch of boring 60's era "Ra ra ra, blah, blah, blah, stop whatevah from doing whatevah" marches.

Can't protests break the old mold of predicable and questionably effective actions?  Who cares if a march takes place if everyone yawns when they walk by.  I am encouraged by the "anarchist" video, they show some self-deprecating humor.  As long as they resist the temptation to do anything violent, they should be an interesting group to watch.

As to the permits, what is the standing procedure when an event of this scale is not taking place?  I think the authorities have all said that permits  will be handed out 6 months out.  That does seem like plenty of time.  Can't plans be made without permits anyway?  I just don't really get the permit thing, right now it feels like since everything else is going so smoothly, this one thing has been picked up as the point to gripe about, and I just don't know if it's worth all the fuss.

Good point on Kiff Let's open up a full investigation upon the SoS office for as long back as we can go, that would be lovely.  I don't think the GOP wants that can of worms opened, but if they want to check out this minor goof by Ritchie, I say let's open that can and see what Kiff did behind the scenes.

Goof, Yes. "Big" No Thanks for continuing the republican operative name game, all you had to do is put a screaming title, and I'd been confused about where this came from.  The article itself is fine, but why on earth would you call this a "Big" goof?  Please...

Congratulations Andy! and good luck in October!
