Oilers prospect Kristians Pelss missing (updated)
Jonathan Willis
June 13 2013 11:25AM
Kristians Pelss, a 2010 Oilers draft pick, is missing in his home country of Latvia, with one Latvian news source reporting that he is dead – a report that has yet to be independently verified .
Arturs Vaiders, a reporter with an outlet in Latvia, appears (via Google Translate) to say he has confirmed information that the 20-year old Oilers prospect drowned under unexplained circumstances:
I have just returned from North America was one of the most talented young Latvian hockey players. He has died so far and still unexplained circumstances. Information that he has drowned and unfortunately this information is confirmed.
The police and state rescue service are quoted in the report as verifying that a man jumped into the Daugava River from the Stone Bridge in Riga, Latvia (pictured below), but declined to identify the man as Pelss or say whether that person had been found, dead or alive.
Pelss spent the 2012-13 season in the minors, playing for the Oilers affiliates in Oklahoma and Stockton. He was playing under a two-way entry-level contract that ran until 2015.
UPDATE. There have been various Twitter reports claiming that the family of Pelss disputes the report that Pelss is dead; the following comes from a Russian news agency:
Family of Kristians #Pelss "thinks he's alive," Latvian Hockey Federation tells R-Sport. #Oilers #OKCBarons— R-Sport (@rsport_en) June 13, 2013
This story will be further updated once more details emerge. In the meantime, Oilers Nation reminds our readers that information is sketchy, and the initial report that Pelss drowned has yet to be confirmed. Even if that report turns out to be accurate on the principle facts, the exact details of what happened are unknown. We also strongly encourage commenters to show respect for Pelss and his family at this difficult time.
OMG Shocked. I sincerely hope it's a false report.
June 13 2013, 11:33AM
Oh no if that's true it's horrible. You have to wonder (if it's true and he did jump) what would cause him to do such a thing.
God, he's just a kid. Let it somehow not be true.
Always enjoyed watching him play for the Oil Kings, knowing he was an Oilers prospect. This is just horrible and depressing.
June 13 2013, 11:36AM
I hope he is found safe and unharmed. :( #prayforpelss
Please let this be untrue. I really wanted this kid to be an NHLer.
June 13 2013, 11:59AM
oh my gawd! i hope he's OK? i hope he's not dead!! :(
... i hope this is false.
I too am hoping for the best for Kristians. Sad tragic news if it is true.
June 13 2013, 12:31PM
Horrible story if this is confirmed...
If it is true, can we assume depression or another mental illness was involved? That bridge and river look pretty daunting. Eeesh. Horrible times for his family and the hockey world.
Praying for Kristians and his family.
fingers crossed. He likely would have been participating in Sochi next year.
RIP, Oilernation sends out collective prayers.
I hope that it is a false report, but if not, condolences to his family.
June 13 2013, 01:20PM
never mind.
June 13 2013, 01:25PM
Terrible, terrible news
Such a spirited hockey player & a pleasure to watch! Hope this in fact is not true! Shocked!
To...I'd rather have Shock and Awe, over just Bold....
Whatta Stupid and Bad Taste Joke Comment...
This is about a life of someone, whether pelss or not...not a joke for sports/Oilers.
That being said...judgmentally...I believe ya didnt mean harm or rudeness intentionally..just ya didnt think when ya wrote that.
If it is Pelss, or another..my condloences are being given to the family and close friends.
I was pulling for this kid to make it to the Oilers in the next couple of seasons upcoming.
June 13 2013, 01:43PM
I have a son the same age and I can't tell you how bad I am feeling right now. Sad that a kid with what would appear to be everything going for him would make that choice (if reports are true). God Bless all family and friends that are impacted by this terrible news. I will be giving my kids an extra hug tonight. Tragic.
To...I'd rather have Shock and Awe, over just Bold....
Hey bud is this for you getting extra attention online???...cause ya are way out of line with issues of etiqutte and sympathy for others dude. GROW UP!!!
Whether Pelss chose this or not or that it was others not in sports (regular people) who lost their lives...this is tragic nonetheless.
Man!!!! What if this was your own kid or your nephew or a close friend's kid? Are ya that insensitive to tell those parents or yourself the same stuff ya just wrote/how ya wrote it?
Go get counselling dude..
June 13 2013, 01:57PM
Shock and awe guy:
I doubt you would be pragmatic about a family member of yours dying.
If was mental illness which drove him to this; it was not a choice as you say. Illness is not a choice. Your comments you made were.
Grow the F up otherwise you will someday have a harsh reality lesson.
@Quicksilver ballet
And I wouldn't disrepect a single person out of those 25 who passed yesterday. And no, I feel for people who felt so terrible they took their own life. I have known more than 1 person you took their life and not once did I speak poor of them. Extreme depression is a terrible disese you or I might not be able to understand, which means we shoudn't judge it.
Man, what a horrible shock. My heart goes out to his family.
My business partner took his own life just a few short months ago, and stories like this really cut deep.
@JW - thanks.
At times like this, one can only pray........I pray that he is found safe and alive and for his family, who must be totally devastated.
Seriously somebody must have contacts to find out the truth. *Cross fingers* SAY IT ISN'T SO.
June 13 2013, 02:12PM
Prayers to the Pelss family in this time!!
June 13 2013, 02:12PM
Additionally, a number of otherwise acceptable comments quoting User: I'd rather have Shock and Awe, over just Bold have also been removed; this is not a reflection on their content but rather on the embedded quotation.
Two enthusiastic thumbs up for your defense of the internet as something more than a troll cave. And yes, I was one of the commentators removed by the above policy.
Prayers go out to the Pelss family.
June 13 2013, 02:14PM
Really hoping he turns up alive. Crossing my fingers.
Thanks JW for removing the comments of the now banned One.
No one may ever say we all agree together on all sports issues/topics but this is appreciated from me.
Again, my sincere condolences to Pelss family and also to the Oilers team for losing one of their own prospects as well. The Oilers must be overwhelmed and saddened too just as many of us are
Wait and see. Trust but Verify. Hope this turns out for the best.
I hope this turns out to be false as well (obviously).
If not - I can't imagine the circumstances . My prayers and condolences to friends and family.
I just stopped in to see what Taylor Hall ate for breakfast or some other summer hockey "news"...this is a rather sobering article. I'm hoping for the best.
Sorry to see this.
As I passed along sincere condolences to the Pelss family I did then see that the Dallas stars just announced (NHL.com)that the NHL team has lost a kid draft prospect as well..Scott Winkler....23 yrs old.
Do not know of the circumatances yet with this tragedy....
This is definitely a bad sad day. Condolences to that family and to the Dallas Stars equally as much.
June 13 2013, 02:43PM
User I'd rather have Shock and Awe, over just Bold has been banned from the site for the time being. We don't have a specific policy about wildly disrespectful speculation into the fate of a missing person, but his comments in this piece were completely intolerable.
I don't agree that the question in comment was worthy of a ban. It was in no way demeaning toward KP, or anyone else in his situation. Bringing humor to tragedy - when not at the expense of anyone involved - is okay. It would be impossible for me to deal with the world otherwise. It was a shot at the Oilers, and not much more.
It is not my site though, and whatever atmosphere you would like to promote is your business. Many of your other patrons reacted fiercely as well, so I am not surprised that that conversation was removed - just a little disheartened that it caused such a negative reaction.
PS: no problem if you want to remove this comment, too. I didn't know where else to say it.
"and whatever atmosphere you would like to promote is your business"
How about an atmosphere of respect and maturity?
We are not without humour here, but the original comment was terribly inappropriate. Maturity is knowing when to say something, and when to keep quiet. Apparently Shock&Awe and yourself have not reached that state yet. But you will.
Good call JW.
I hope the reports are false, no family should have to endure losing a child. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family today.
Slow Clap Willis! Slow Clap!
Those Comments were not acceptable.
wow terrible... tragedies like these always make me think of my friends and loved ones who passed too soon. I wouldnt want anyone to go through this.
User I'd rather have Shock and Awe, over just Bold has been banned from the site for the time being. We don't have a specific policy about wildly disrespectful speculation into the fate of a missing person, but his comments in this piece were completely intolerable.
Thank you Jonathon. Nobody ever knows what goes on in a persons mind, their stressors or coping skills. Thankfully, most of us can find a friend or professional to talk about a crisis we find ourselves dealing with. There is a family suffering an unbearable loss right now that are probably inconsolable. To have such an insensitive dink come on here, with such offensive and obscene remarks, should never be given the privilege of commenting on this site. Everyone on here knows someone that has tried suicide either successfully or unsuccessfully. It is never funny and never a joke.
I hope this isn't true.
I've kept a closer eye on Pelss than most other prospects. It would be great to see a kid taken so late in the draft and from a country that doesn't graduate many of their nationals to the NHL make it.
At this point though I'd be happy to hear he's alive and well even if it meant never playing hockey again.
June 13 2013, 03:32PM
One other thing. I reread Staples report on the Journal website. The reports are that a young man leapt from the bridge. Are we making a leap ourselves that his goal was to harm himself or could this have been a reckless act of a young man that went wrong? I noted that Staples' report indicated that his clothing was left on the bridge and looking at the bridge from the picture above it is not a crazy height. An ill-advised daredevil act may also have been what occurred.
I am not saying this is what happened, only that there could be other explanations than an alleged suicide. I realize the outcome is the same - tragic. But we all should likely let things play out and in time the truth will come out.
No matter what the circumstance, this is a very sad day that a young man (whether he was a hockey player or not) appears lost.
June 13 2013, 03:36PM
Having such sketchy information and being unable to contact him for days doesn't bode well for this story. I pray for his safe return to his family. So sad.
Thank you Jonathan for removing said comments. They were shockingly inappropriate. I would hardly call it bringing humour into a situation. There was nothing funny about it at all. Glad I missed the second one. The inital comment was worthy of deletion but to follow it up, good call on the ban. We may not have a policy here in that regard as you've said, but his mother would have smacked him upside the head.
Conduct yourself each day as if that was the way you will always be remembered. I'm paraphrasing something I read not too long ago but the message was a very good one. The internet and this website doesn't just exist in Edmonton. Some people would do well to remember that.
Weird circumstances surround the whole situation, which I'm sure makes it that much harder for the people who are friends/family to the young man.
Can only hope this is bad journalism (on the part of the Latvian press) and that he is safe, and will soon be with him family again.
Still hoping for the best here. The fact that we haven't heard from him yet is discouraging.
June 13 2013, 03:57PM
Q...didn't see what u said my friend... i'm guessing over the line and in that only you could say it poor taste again?
Eleven years ago today my son Jordan was killed by a drunk driver in the U.S.
He was 19
please. if you can . light a candle at seven p.m. your time zone and say peace out Jordan
many thanks and here's my vote to have Quicksilver Ballet back on these boards when JW decides that it's time.
many prayers to the Pelss family...
Possibly not the only tragedy in the hockey world today... Dallas Stars draft pick Scott Walker was found dead in his mothers home in Norway, age 23.
This is when you need to get on a plane to Riga and find out what is actually fact. Apparently they have now removed anything being confirmed and it is just suspected.
But actual informaton in Latvia is very minimal no real conclusions can be made.
But my gut tells me it is probably true.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Pelss family. Let us hope he shows up okay.

Tenn. governor talks about big education plan
GREENE COUNTY, Tenn. - Tennessee will soon become the only state in the nation to provide two years at a community college for free to all graduating high school seniors.
It's a bold move announced last night during the governor's state of the state address.
It's called the 'Tennessee Promise,' a new plan unveiled by Governor Bill Haslam to get more Tennessee high school graduates to a community college or a college of applied technology.
Governor Haslam talked about his plan during a Tuesday stop in Greeneville. "It's really about doing two things: changing the culture of expectations, and really cutting the cost of higher education," he said.
This is all part of his 'Drive for 55' campaign. The governor says the goal is to have 55 percent of Tennesseans earn either a college degree or certificate beyond high school.
This comes as great news for many in education, including Dr. Vicki Kirk, the Director of Greene County Schools. She says her schools graduate about 500 students every year. "At least half of them will be impacted by this. It's good for Greene County, it's good for the kids, but it's good for our community too," she said.
Many of those students will opt to continue on at a community college free of tuition. Walters State has a satellite campus in Greeneville, and administrators like Lori Campbell expect to see an increase in students. "Breaking down the financial barrier for students in the East Tennessee region is huge. I really think the governor is putting the money that will make the biggest impact for our state," she said.
The goal is to get more people educated to get better jobs, and bring some economic development to the Volunteer State.
The Tennessee Promise will be funded by an endowment created from reserve funds from the Tennessee Lottery. The new program is expected to be in place by the start of the next school year.

Skip to comments.The mysterious coywolf, a mixture of western coyote and eastern wolf
Posted on 03/09/2014 2:01:08 PM PDT by DBCJR
The coywolf, a mixture of western coyote and eastern wolf, is a remarkable new hybrid carnivore that is taking over territories once roamed by wolves and slipping unnoticed into our cities. Its appearance is very recent within the last 90 years in evolutionary terms, a blip in time. Beginning in Canada but by no means ending there, the story of how it came to be is an extraordinary tale of how quickly adaptation and evolution can occur, especially when humans interfere. Tag along as scientists study this new top predator, tracking it from the wilderness of Ontarios Algonquin Park, through parking lots, alleys and backyards in Toronto all the way to the streets of New York City. (Video streaming restricted to U.S. and Territories.)
"..they made puppywhoop somewhere around St Louis"
We have them in Greentree PA just south of Pittsburgh. I have seen them several times over the past few years. Greentree even had a warning on their webpage about coyotes but they are Eastern Coyotes, Coywolves.
There is an excellent tv show on the Coywolves.

They live wild in my neighborhood in CT. I'm way out in the woods but if you like your dog, you don't let him roam. Lost cat posters are a thing of the past; cars don't get lost, they get eaten.
I've crossed paths with them several times and they give you a good once over. I never hike unarmed and don't walk the dogs unarmed either. They're big and not the least bit afraid of you.
Besides, the two legged animals around here can be rough looking too.
Evolution? This is a crossbreed.
They eat cars!!! I`d better start looking for a .45 instead!
At least one human death by these hybrids. A young Canadian singer was killed by them while hiking. DNA tests confirmed they were wolf-coyote hybrids. I have them here on my farm in Loudoun County Virginia. I've found the remains of adult deer that were pulled down by them. They hunt in packs like wolves. Animal Control told me to be aware of the packs. I never go outside without a firearm.
and let me tell you, when you are in the woods at dusk/dark and hear them go off, it WILL send a chill up your spine!!!
Pistol, NEVER leave home without it.
"I`ve seen Coydogs around the Cuyahoga Valley Towpath trail."
I bike down there! So that's what I saw? Used to lease a 110 acre fallow farm on the edge of the Valley Park. But the Park took over 100 of the acres, and I moved into town. Miss that place!
Just imagine the scat.
Imagine the poor animal passing it!
The DNR won't admit they brought them here "to control deer".
Maybe they are coyote-wolves but I`ve always heard they are dog-coyote hybrids. They have some dog-like ears and that fur is not at all like a wolf or coyote`s. They are truly weird canines! Although I`ve only seen a few, I`m not too proud to say they give me the willies, freaky and mean looking dogs!
I sure hope we don`t have any of those running around the Towpath!
That's where a cooper scooper comes in handy.
They have never identified dog DNA in wild coyotes.
Only wolf.
Coyotes are SUPER smart. Wolves are big, ferocious and fearless. WHAT a mixture. The hyrid coy wolves are, of course, doomed.
THANK GOD the Clintons only had one child.
It must have been a mating of two very horny canines for that to occur. Remimds me of some of the Hollyweird
marriages couplings.
They will eventually and probably breed themselves BACK to ordinary wolves and coyotes, but it will take many generations.
We used to have animals on our Texas Gulf Coast property called Red Wolves. They were probably wolf/coyote crosses and said to be endangered. Now what we have appears to be Coyotes. We have Coyotes in the heart of Houston too. I have seen them myself.
I believe he`s on Black Road, near that corn stand along Rt. 303, just down from the Brecksville Station by the bridge those Occupy Wall Street @$$holes tried to blow up.
That's a beautiful area to hike, those hills make for challenging climbs. I also love the ride from there to lock 3 in Akron, virtually all forest except for Peninsula, the Valley, and that final stretch into Akron.
There have been packs of coydogs roaming the woods and riverbank here for years, the product of lost or abandoned pets and coyotes-they are mostly big, and totally unafraid of humans, like domestic dogs, and clever and forest-smart as a coyote-they are a lot more dangerous than the resident cougars. I do not take my Husky walking outside the fence, ever-if you leave your cat or dog unattended, it will eventually be a meal for these animals.
I hike in the woods most days, but not without bear spray, or even a sidearm.
I told you they were big
That's what they thought about these creatures when they showed up in rural areas north and west of New York City around 15-20 years ago, but apparently they did some DNA testing and found that they are cross-bred between coyotes and wolves, not dogs.
That explains why they demonstrate one of the characteristics that are rarely common between wolves and coyotes: wolves live in packs, while coyotes are usually solitary animals. So when these coyote-like animals began showing up in packs in these rural areas, it was pretty much assumed that they were not your typical western coyotes.
The genetic composition and classification of the eastern coyote is debated among scientists.
A study showed that of 100 coyotes collected in Maine, 22 had half or more gray wolf ancestry, and one was 89 percent gray wolf.[6] A theory has been proposed that the large eastern "coyotes" in Canada are actually hybrids of the smaller western coyotes and gray wolves that mated decades ago as the coyotes moved toward New England from their earlier western ranges."
Source: Wikipedia
We have a den about 1/8 of a mile from our house. These animals come in packs through our property, and I estimate that one was as much as 60 pounds. They attacked and almost killed a small dog next door.
Yes they have.
Widespread occurrence of a domestic dog mitochondrial DNA haplotype in southeastern US coyotes.
The old farm I leased was on North Boyden. 1830 white farmhouse on the top of the hill. As manager, I didn't need a deer tag, wrote my own. Used to come home from work, strap on my Redhawk 44 mag, and walk out the back door to my own hunting grounds. In rainy weather, the geese would fly low over the old fence line. I'd sit on the back porch and wait for them! Ah,,,,those were the days, my friend, I thought they'd never end. But they did. Why the govt needed that proper is ridiculous!
Coyotes would eat dogs before they'd mate with them.
Unless you have seen _drop-eared_ "coyotes" running around, they're not going to be "coydogs".
Drop ears are genetically dominant and would prevail in a coyote/dog mating *unless* the dog were naturally prick-eared.
Looks worthwhile, thanks. I'd have taken it for a dog, at first glance at least. Looks well fed.
And exactly 0% had "dog" genes.
One needs a Colt to protect Dog from Coywolf!
I am just across the river from you in Monky County, and we have them here, too. I have been stalked in broad daylight while riding a 17.2 Irish horse, and as big as he is, he did not appreciate it. In the woods near my house, which is at the edge of the suburbs, I found a deer who had been brought down by something large. The creature who broke her pelvis had jaws big enough to reach all the way across her hips from ilium to ilium, but a very well-informed park ranger I brought in for his opinion agreed with me that those were not cat teeth-marks. I cannot imagine an ordinary domestic dog who had jaws like that. We agreed it was a coy-dog.
I wish I too could wear a gun when riding or when out in the woods on foot, but I live in the Freak State.
You're so right. Remember that ongoing experiment in Russia on the domestication of foxes? As Russian scientists bred foxes for more compliant personalities, they acquired floppy ears.
So is Akron, Ohio far enough east to have Coywolves? But the ones I`ve seen had floppier ears and more doglike coloration with very long snouts.
"The widespread distribution of this haplotype from Florida to West Virginia suggests that the hybridization event occurred long ago before the southeastern USA was colonized by coyotes.
However, it could have occurred in the southeastern USA before the main front of coyotes arrived in the area _between male coyotes released for sport_ and _a local domestic dog_."
There *are* morons intentionally breeding 'coydogs' for pets.
The article also says "closely related to" domestic dogs.
That's a pretty big genetic spread in a very old study.
They're just now admitting the wolf ancestry, after denying it for decades,
Yes I do.
Something about domestication cause dogs to revert to a perpetual state of puppyhood, displaying "puppy traits".
Domestic dogs are eternally infantilized wolves.
You might want to don your asbestos undies.
Maybe there's more than one mystery here.
Carry anyway.
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
For decades, I've gotten around it by carrying a long rifle into the woods.
I know people who carry lighter all the time.
You gotta do what you gotta do.
The US Wildlands Project! The predecessor of UN agenda 21, look them up.
Great video.
Had to turn the sound down when they were howling as that set the Dobes off into a blood-eyed rage.
It seems questionable at this time:
Dogs, left to breed amongst themselves will eventually revert to "primitive type".
Some breeds still retain that type, such as Dingos, Ibizan Hounds, Pharoah Hounds, *all* of the Podengo/Podenco types and Spitz types.
When you strip away all of man's genetic "interference", those dogs are what original dogs looked like.
They are more likely just feral mutts.

Hi-I am working on putting a bathroom in my basement. The room was roughed in. I am working on the exhaust fan. I can only find a 1 1/2 inch white pipe that looks like an exhaust and is close enough to where the bathroom is, to be the exhaust (it is very close to my furnance, but nothing is attached to this piping). My question is all exhaust fans seem to come with a 3-4" aluminum piping. Do I need to purchase a step down aluminum 3-4 inch to plastic 1 1/2 inch or is this not the exhaust piping?

CLARKSDALE — Coahoma County authorities say a 22-year-old man has been charged with capital murder in the death of a woman in the Davenport community.
Sheriff Charles Jones says in a news release that Kendel Montgomery is the grandson of the victim, 68-year-old Mary Webb of Davenport.
Jones says Montgomery was arrested Tuesday in Memphis, Tenn. He says Webb's vehicle also was found in Memphis.
Jones says Montgomery is being held in the Coahoma County jail pending an initial court appearance.
Jones says the 68-year-old Webb suffered multiple stab wounds. He says an autopsy is being performed.
Jones says family members found Webb's body underneath her bed in her trailer Sunday.
The case is still under investigation.

Need a teacher gift? Ms. Elaine Kneeous to the rescue!
So… if you're like me, for various reasons, you've waited until the last minute to figure out a teacher gift. There are SO many cute ideas out there but they require multiple resources like time, money, creativity, luck in finding items, etc.
But here's a simple little project that literally ANY parent can do in five minutes or less. (Not counting the time to shop for lotion.)
I'm going to pick up some apple-scented lotion…
…tie on the tag, and call it a day. I love it when someone else does the heavy lifting!
Thanks Easy Green Mom and Bath and Body Works for the perfect First Day of School gift!

Sign in for member information and resources.
Nearly 250 Camden Education Association members assembled on Saturday, May 18, for a membership meeting and work session to share their best ideas for overcoming the challenges facing Camden's schools.
"When it comes down to it, we are the only true advocates for Camden's children and schools, and we need to make the people of this city realize that," said CEA President LaVerne Harvey. "So we are going to take a strong stand to ensure that CEA and Camden citizens will have a strong and valued voice in reforming our schools. Our members have dedicated their careers to Camden students and are working hard to help them be successful. That needs to be recognized and respected."
In March, Gov. Christie announced the state's intervention in Camden's public schools. Under a state-run system, the local school board has an advisory role, and the state will choose a new school superintendent. In addition to the uncertainty of the state's plan, CEA members are also working under the terms of an expired contract.
But despite the internal and external challenges of working in Camden's schools, CEA members remain more committed than ever to ensuring the success of their schools and students. CEA members recently completed a Climate Survey that revealed the vast majority of members expected to spend their careers working in Camden and remained focused on improving conditions for their students. The Climate Survey was followed by discussion groups at the May 18 meeting that encouraged members to share their ideas for solutions.
In a table discussion of the district's ever-changing programs, one member shared her frustration that despite a high number of classified students, the district often purchases programs that lack a special education component. Members talked about ways to incorporate educators into instructional decisions and allocate time for collaboration and professional development.
"As professionals, you know what you need in your classrooms and schools. Yet too often decisions about how you do your job are made by people who don't truly understand what your day is like," Harvey added in her address to CEA members.
The information gathered through the survey and discussions will used to craft CEA's proposal for school reform in Camden City and will be shared with all stakeholders.

House Speaker John Boehner and the White House go back to the drawing board on fiscal cliff.
WASHINGTON -- President Obama called on Congress to return to Washington next week to approve his proposal to extend tax rate for 98% of Americans to avert the "fiscal cliff" before leaving for Hawaii Friday evening to spend Christmas with his family.
Obama said he spoke with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and met with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and asked them to put together a legislative package to extend the George W. Bush-era tax rates for those earning $250,000 or less.
"All of us, every single one of us, agree that tax rates shouldn't go up for the other 98% of Americans," Obama said, "Every member of Congress believes that."
The president's proposal, a focal point of his reelection bid, has met with resistance from congressional Republicans who want to extend all of the current tax rates. Boehner tried and failed to pass a tax bill on the strength of GOP votes alone to extend rates on earners about $1 million. Obama's proposal will need a combination of Republican and Democratic votes to pass a divided Congress.
Obama said he also asked Congress to extend unemployment benefits affecting 2.1 million Americans and he charged leaders with coming up with a package that "lays the foundation" for economic growth and deficit reduction, suggesting broader work to reduce spending and overhaul the tax code will have to come in a multi-step process next year.
The president's remarks come as House Republicans were divided on their party's strategy to avert the "fiscal cliff" and as Boehner and Obama remain at a stalemate on a broader deficit reduction package to avoid the year-end collision of expiring tax rates and steep spending cuts that threaten the U.S. economic recovery.
Obama said he would continue to work with Congress, but that the tax bill should come first. "Let's get that done," he said
Earlier Friday, Boehner said he will continue looking for ways to resolve the "fiscal cliff" even after fellow Republicans rejected his proposed "Plan B."
Referring to Obama and the Democratic-run Senate, Boehner told reporters: "Republicans don't want taxes to go up. But we only run the House. Democrats continue to run Washington."
Internal GOP divisions has shifted the "fiscal cliff" talks to the Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate, where Reid also called on Boehner Friday to take up a Senate-passed bill to extend the tax rates for those earning $250,000 or less.
"If Republicans truly want to ensure American families' taxes don't go up on January 1, they should simply pass the Senate bill," Reid said on the Senate floor. The leader added that any final deal will have to be approved by a bipartisan combination of GOP and Democratic votes.
"No comprehensive agreement can pass either chamber without both Democratic votes and Republican votes," Reid said, "Which means any solution will have to ask the most fortunate among us to pay a little more to reduce the deficit and ensure partisanship doesn't take the nation to the brink of default a few months from now."
The House adjourned for the Christmas holiday. Reid advised senators they will return Dec. 27, while House leaders told their members they would be given 48 hours notice if they have to return to Washington for votes.
Republican resistance to the president's tax plan is weakening in the wake of Boehner's failure to muster enough of his own members to support his alternative plan to avert the cliff, and the looming reality that tax rates will rise for everyone if Washington doesn't act. "I say take the [$250,000 proposal]. Get it done," said Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., who won a Senate seat and will join the upper chamber in January.
Boehner has ceded his role in the negotiations and put the burden on the president and Reid to find a deal that can pass. "There is no Senate bill that has been sent to the House," Boehner said, If the Senate wanted to act on the House tax bill from August, "we'll take a look at it," he said.
Boehner and House Republican leaders planned to vote on his alternative plan Thursday night, but they abruptly reversed course after it became clear that enough Republicans opposed it, Boehner said, "because there was a perception created that that vote last night was going to raise taxes."
He also nodded at the partisan gridlock in Washington over addressing taxes and spending cuts. "We see a situation where because of the political divide in the country, because of the divide here in Washington, trying to bridge these differences has been difficult," he said.
The speaker said he would keep trying to work out a deal with Obama. "How we get there, God only knows."
Boehner said he did not believe Thursday's failure would hurt his speakership. "If you do the right thing every day for the right reasons, the right thing will happen." The U.S. House will re-elect Boehner speaker on Jan. 3, when the next Congress convenes.

Runs VERY short and narrow
"Usually a size 8, after reading the reviews that shoe ran small decided to try both an 8.5 and 9. Both were way too small and am now waiting for the 9.5 but would probably need 10 though not available. The shoe is gorgeous but I recommend going up minimum one and one-half sizes!"

Cute shoe
"I needed a pair of shoes like this and I ordered a 6 (I'm a 5.5/6) and it slips off my foot. I'm not going to return them b/c I love them! My foot is narrow and the shoe is not that wide for it to slip as it did. As the day went on, I was able to keep it on without it coming off. Other than that, it's very cute and comfy."

Skip to comments.Pelosi Gets The Jail Question!(Jail time or Pelosi-care, the right to choose)
Posted on 11/13/2009 7:57:18 PM PST by sickoflibs
Question : Madam Speaker, Do you feel like its fair to send people to jail for not buying health insurance? Pelosi : The point is we want to make sure that everyone has access to health care. For a long time those that havent had health care were provided it ( ??? ) have placed the burden on others. Everybody is paying the price for uncompensated care in a hospital. This is to say we all have to do our part (except those getting it for free) and that is the point of the bill. Question: But Madam Speaker I am trying to understand. If you dont buy health insurance you are going to jail? Pelosi :I think the legislation is very clear in this respect
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
Quote: " Every month we dont have an economic recovery package 500 Million Americans will lose their jobs, I dont think we can go fast enough (on the package) to stop that"
Quote: "Yes, I am saying the CIA was misleading the congress and at the same time the Bush administration was misleading the congress (on Interrogation) ..."
Quote:"I would say that, as an ardent practicing Catholic, this is an issue that I have studied for a long time, and what I know is, over the centuries, the Doctors of the Church have not been able to make that definition.(where life begins)..The point is, that it shouldn't have an impact on the woman's right to choose,"
Question : "How is family Planning services economic stimulus?" Quote:" Family planning services reduce costs. The states are in terrible fiscal crisis now .. one of the initiatives you mentioned contraceptive services will reduce costs to the state, and to the federal government."
If you love listening to Speaker Nancy Pelosi explain things unscripted. If you wonder how the democrats (and the country) could pick such a clueless San Francisco liberal to run the house of representatives second in line to be president (that would be fun!) , If you wonder how Pelosi got to a position where she can hide in China from her CIA Interrogation quotes. Then you love Nancy Pelosi too.
Pelosi always brightens my day.
Sorry Pelosi does not brighten my day
She is a psychopath.
Love of my life ping!
Then again, who ever thought Kelo would become the law of the land?
Acute old timer's disease complicated by chronic liberalism. No cure.
all the botox and silicone is going to her brain.
"She is a psychopath."
You are obviously a member of AA...accurate assessors that is.
Question : Madam Speaker, Do you feel like its fair to send people to jail for not buying health insurance?
Pelosi : The point is we want to make sure that everyone has access to health care.
So if you jail people you are giving them access to healthcare...in jail...
round up those 46 Million illegal aliens that dont have health care....
That is why I love her.
For four years no one knew her (why she won two elections landslides 06+08) and I longed for the day when she couldnt hide anymore, and I love it now.
Can't wait for the day she is perp walked to her jail cell.
audio sounds fake
She and all her co-conspirators are the ones who belong in Jail. This is a Direct attack upon the sovereignty of every American, The very idea that not buying "insurance" for being alive, is an out and out act of TREASON against every single American.
Go here (http://waronguns.blogspot.com/2008/02/absolved.html) and start reading this novel. The author's busy completing it but what he has posted is GREAT!!!
The day Pelosi-Obambi Care passes and the first person's arrested (or maybe killed) for non-compliance is the day all the rest of us ARE absolved. (Read what Mike has to say and you'll understand... or not.)
Does she intend to buy that insurance ???
or her cohorots ???
If not...jail...
Elections have consequences.
Kelo needs to be rehashed by the SCOTUS. Kelo homeowners lost their homes/lands after the city seized it to help Pfizer to expand their R&D lab. This was supposd to bring in highter tax revenues and higher income residents. Guess what, with the severe recession, Pfizer decided to opt out of the expansion deal. On top of that Pfizer plans to close their existing R&D Lab and move the personnel to another facility. Now Kelo is left holding empty lots.
Oh heck, I was hoping it read, "Pelosi to receive
jail term."
An old, old standard of Western law. A maxim of law that has been accepted by all the great legal minds of this and previous centuries:
An act done against my will is not my act.
You can't be "forced" to do something. That's what liberty means. Liberty of actions and liberty of conscience.
It doesn't. In Pelosi's case her brain has always been pea sized.
I thought the jails were overcrowded? Now we will be sitting behind bars with killers and rapists because we didn't have the money to buy the government's death insurance.
>>It doesn't. In Pelosi's case her brain has always been pea sized.<<
That must be why LIBs have to rely on emotions, rather than facts. Look at the great thinkers on the left - 0bambi, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Grayson, the media - I ask you is there a single a coherent thought in the bunch?
She is a psychopath.
All leftists are psychopaths.
Pelosi is a leftist.
Therefore, Pelosi is a psychopath.
No argument from me, Sam ;-)
Right! And sending people to jail for not buying insurance is also really a stupid lie—it costs MORE to maintain someone in jail than to give care in an emergency room and while they are in jail, the government has to give the free medical care. What Pelosi is really describing is a concentration camp. !!!
I know. I was just explaining why she was a psychopath. Why they all are psychopaths.
They want to destroy the middle class. It's the dream of the psychopathic literati going back several centuries.
"They want to destroy the middle class. Its the dream of the psychopathic literati going back several centuries."
Yep. I knew when Obama won, he would try to destroy our economy, and hand the wealth over to the useless, and the trade unions. He didn't waste any time either. America was too busy to spend 2 hours on their PC researching this wretch. No we all have to pay for it.
And some people might ask "why do they hate us so, why do they hate the middle class with such a passionate and everlasting hatred?"
There are many reasons and I've posted my own theories over the years but it now gets down to this:
When two guys are at your front door in the middle of the night and one is smashing the lock with a heavy crowbar and the other is standing nervously next to him with a big-a$$ shotgun you don't ask yourself "why do they disrespect my home and my property so much?".
No. You don't ask that. You don't try to understand their "reasons".
You defend yourself.
And same with the psychopaths who now rule us from on high. It's long past time trying to figure out why they want to destroy us.
It's now time to play defense. Smart defense.
Smart defense or death. Those are our ACTUAL "public options".
Amen brother!
LOL, you do have a point.
"My message is all about "reason." We haf ways to deal with people who do not listen to reason."
The most stupid part of this proposal is she is talking about it at a time when everyone is losing their jobs. The last thing anyone is thinking of buying is health care when they are trying to stay in their homes and keep food on the table.
what a bloviating bee-otch.
...Time to wrap this whole thread together, "Question: The right to choose, Pelosi care, or, Pelosi gets jail time for the Un-Constitutionality of this bill...
...Take your time, don't jump to a conclusion, think this through, you have 72 hours to read this wrap up...
...Uppp, sorry, a typo, 7.2 seconds to respond...
...Times up. No more debate on this...
I know quite a few extremely liberal Dems, but not a single one who claims to like Pelosi. They all hate her because she makes them look stupid...a thousand times more so than the Socialist Bush made us look less than brilliant.
Is the health care plan consitutional? More specifically, where in the constitution does the Congress get the power to mandate citizens buy health care or be fined or go to jail?
The answer you get to this question:
Pelosi: "Are you serious? Are you serious?"
Reporter: "Yes, I am."
Pelosi: "Next question."
You hit it on the mark! That is why I love Nancy Pelosi.
Back the last four years when no one know who she was, she successfully kept the attention on GWB who was as popular as a child molester. This included 2007-08 when she was speaker. Low polls on congress were STILL against republicans when she was Speaker those two years as she was focusing on Bush-Cheney with the MSM.
But now with GWB gone and McCain lost there are few places for the spotlight to shine on the R side. The MSM loves BoB (aka Zero) too much to report on him, but Nancy Pelosi is too tempting of a target even for them to ignore. So keep her on TV, keep the limelight on her and we may just enjoy this ride a bit, while democrats suffer (like we did.) In fact I am thinking we may want to keep her as Speaker in 2011 as a continued target with a tiny ungovernable majority lets say 1 or 2 seats.
Ironically Pelosi who made her (impressive) success using GWB/Cheney, has taken his place being seen as the 'incompetent demon running Washington'.
This is something Obama ran against in the primary with Hillary because it's very unpopular. Ask Pelosi this, "Are the uninsured victims of those greedy insurance companies who need help as you claim or are they really the victimizer deadbeats that deserve jail time as you claim? " ....(I love it.)
As to the constitutional question, that Pandoras box was opened when the federal government mandated hospitals provide uncompensated care (including to illegals) with the same legal liability protections we get when we pay our bills. They can sue for malpractice for free care.
That is in fact the point she makes. You will notice that republicans would not go near this issue under Bush. One blind spot many elected republicans have is... see my tagline.
FOX NEWS' JUDGE ANDREW NAPOLITANO SAID IT BEST Free people enjoy the right to use nullification as a protective measure...... to have state legislatures act to prevent federal domination.
WORKS LIKE THIS To get your support, the candidate must take a stand to use state govt to nullify the federal govt's unconstitutional overreaching into our lives. Demand candidates nullify ObamaCare.
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE A legacy of USSC Justice Taney's Dred Scott judicial activism, was that the ruling would lay the groundwork for the rights of states to nullify----to make null; to invalidate; to counteract the force or effectiveness of unconstitutional laws.
Nullification in U.S. history, is a doctrine expounded by the advocates of states' rights. It held that states have the right to declare null and void any federal law that they deem unconstitutional.
Nullification is also a fundamental state right to prevent federal domination. States enjoyed the right to use nullification as a protective measure against unconstitutional federal laws by making them ineffective against their citizens.
For example, Montana nullified federal gun laws.
After Dred Scott, nullification had become a states' right tradition, and both the North and the South exercised it prior to 1861

Madden Heels
"Madden heels fit me fairly well for having high arches. There is still a bit of room though under my arch. The only problem I think I will have with these shoes is that they are covered in a silky fabric and they might snag or get dirty really fast. Hopefully they won't though."

Beautiful and comfortable
"The image shown here is actually a bit darker than the shoe itself but it's still a great color. The shoes fit like typical Steve Madden shoes. I am solidly an 8.5 across the board and these fit well. The heel is thick enough not too wobble but still looks nice enough for special occasions."
