Here's where you can find the full details and application. But if you hate clicking:
If you're fluent in Spanish and you're reading this, you likely have at least 75% of the things we're looking for for this role:
- Fluency in English and Spanish (native-level writing in Spanish)
- Enough programming experience or training to be the only moderator / company liaison to the community on a Spanish-language Stack Overflow (at least at first)
- Experience using Stack Exchange sites (huge rep is not required, but we want someone who gets and loves the system.)
- Comfort owning and overseeing a multi-step plan. International site rollouts involve a fair bit of planning, and each one is different. You'd be responsible (with help from a senior CM) for establishing and overseeing execution of a rollout plan.
What we generally look for in Community Manager candidates:
- Very strong writing skills - you'll need to articulate complex ideas in clear, compelling ways. In the beginning, you will be the sole guiding voice of the company. The community will help decide what it's going to be, but you'll need to help articulate what they should consider, initial guidelines, etc.
- Moderation / conflict resolution - despite our best efforts, not everyone on the internet always agrees. Part of the job is helping to recognize how to handle conflicts in ways that may not have a winner, but let both parties get back to doing what they came for - helping increase programming knowledge.
- Understanding of community dynamics and what motivates people to donate their time on sites like ours
- Extremely self-motivated with strong ability to prioritize. We ask CMs to help figure out what to do, not just to do it. And many of us work remotely.
Note that the role is not going to be limited to covering a future Spanish-language site. We're hiring someone who will function like our current CMs do now, but will be able to be the primary Spanish language rep for the Community Team when we are ready to roll out Spanish site(s) in the future.
How many of these are you planning to roll out, anyway?
This post lays out why we're launching non-English sites. We're extremely pleased with the success of Stack Overflow em Português - it's serving a community that mostly wasn't able to be as active on SO. But we greatly value centralized knowledge, so we're not looking to hit every language - many seem well served on SO, and being all together when possible is better for everyone.
In the interest of full transparency, here are the only languages we're committed to:
- Portuguese (live)
- Japanese (in progress)
- Spanish
- Russian
There are probably another 4-6 that clearly merit consideration, but we're going to limit our current outlook to these four, and see what we learn.
Since I wrote too many words, and may have made you scroll the action links off the page:

Editorial note:
I'm purging the comments here, because once again they've gotten super-noisy and I'm concerned some of them are discouraging folks from posting answers. Fortunately, most of the more insightful comments have already been superseded by answers, but for the sake of future readers here are some quick notes:
- This post is on meta because we want to be open to feedback. That's why there's a discussion tag below it. Feel free to discuss any part of it - just be polite, and try to do your research first. In particular, if you have questions/concerns about the job, raise them in an answer. Yes, questions on meta are a bit different - that's by-design.
- This post is on this meta because a significant chunk of the folks who want this site are already on SO, and want a place where they can bring even more people into the fold.
- Yes, it's a full-time job, and you can work from wherever you want as long as it has internet access.
- No, I'm not worried about posts like this destroying the purity of meta. Meta is a chimera, a terrifying abomination - you gotta just make the most of it.

AUSTIN – Saying that climate change must be considered when new coal plants and other facilities are approved, Public Citizen today sued the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) in the Travis County District Court to require the commission to regulate global warming gases. This case seeks to extend to Texas law the precedent set by the U.S. Supreme Court in Massachusetts v. EPA, which held that carbon dioxide is a pollutant under the federal Clean Air Act and that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must regulate it.
"Texas leads the nation in the emissions of global warming gases. If we were a nation, we would rank seventh in emissions among the countries on earth," said Tom "Smitty" Smith, director of Public Citizen's Texas office. "The time has come for the TCEQ to take its head out of the sand and begin the process to regulate CO2 emissions from Texas sources. Because the agency will not do so on its own, we are seeking to have a Texas court order it to do so."
In the past four years, 11 coal plants have applied for permits under the EPA's New Source Review program, which requires companies to install modern pollution controls when building new plants or expanding existing facilities. If they were all to be built, they would add 77 million tons of CO2 to Texas' already overheated air. Six permits already have been granted for plants that will produce CO2 emissions of 42 million tons per year. Another five are in the permitting stages, and they would add 35 million tons of CO2 per year.
The issue of global warming has been raised by opponents in permit hearings in all but one of the six power plant cases, but the TCEQ has said it would not consider global warming emissions in the permitting process. Beginning this month, hearings will begin on permits for the remaining five plants.
Texas law gave the TCEQ the authority to regulate climate change emissions in 1991. In May 2009, the Texas Legislature passed a series of laws that would give incentives for new power plants that capture carbon dioxide, allow the TCEQ to regulate the disposal of CO2 emissions, set up a voluntary emissions reduction registry and develop a "no-regrets" strategy for emissions reductions to recommend policies that will reduce global warming gases at no cost to the state and its industries.
Smith noted that the TCEQ is undermining even the inadequate mitigation strategies that several coal plant builders are proposing. The NU Coastal plant promised to offset 100 percent of its CO2 emissions, but the TCEQ refused to make that promise part of the permit. Tenaska is promising to separate 85 percent of the carbon it emits, but it is not in the draft permit from the TCEQ. The Hunton coal gasification plant will separate 90 percent of its CO2, but the TCEQ classified it as an "experimental technology" so it wouldn't set a precedent for other coal plant applications. NRG is promising to offset 50 percent of its emissions.
"Without the TCEQ putting these limits in the permits, there will be no guarantee that the power plant builders will keep their promises," Smith said.
"The TCEQ steadfastly refuses to allow any discussion or consideration of CO2 or climate change issues during permit proceedings," said attorney Charles Irvine of Blackburn & Carter, who is representing Public Citizen in the case. "The State Office of Administrative Hearings administrative law judges have deferred to TCEQ's position that CO2 is not a regulated pollutant and therefore not relevant during contested case hearings. As a result, all evidence and testimony submitted on these issues has been repeatedly stricken in multiple coal plant cases. We now ask the court for a declaratory judgment to force the agency to follow the broad mandates of the Texas Clean Air Act and recent Supreme Court decisions."
In 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court in Massachusetts v. EPA recognized that CO2 is an air pollutant within the definition in the federal Clean Air Act. Public Citizen contends that the Texas Clean Air Act's definition of "air contaminant" similarly must include CO2. Specifically, the state law says that:
" 'Air contaminant' means particulate matter, radioactive material, dust, fumes, gas, mist, smoke, vapor, or odor, including any combination of those items, produced by processes other than natural." [Texas Health and Safety Code § 382.003(2)]
"So any gas created by non-natural processes – including CO2 generated by a power plant – under the plain language of the definition is an air contaminant," Irvine said.
The lawsuit is can be read in full here.

94L likely to become Beryl and Hit North Florida or Georgia
Once again we are watching off the SE U.S. coastline for subtropical or tropical development, this time from invest 94L which came out of the Caribbean, didn't develop there, but now has a good chance of becoming tropical storm Beryl sometime tomorrow. I haven't been able to post here on this yet, but if you follow my facebook page, earlier this week we discussed briefly the setup that could lead to this, as improbable as it is to have two storms like this develop in May. Once again we have an upper trough over the SE U.S. that is moving out over the water and will eventually stack up vertically with the surface low, lowering the wind shear and allowing warm-core transition. The models are in good agreement on at least some development occurring, with the exception of the GFS which may have initialization issues. As a deep trough digs into the western U.S., the same trough that is dragging Hurricane Bud towards Mexico, the deep-layer ridge currently over the southern Mississippi Valley will propagate northeastward and block 94L from escaping out to sea. The SW to NE orientation of this ridge will force 94L to turn back towards the southwest and likely make landfall in northern Florida or Georgia, a rare place to get a tropical cyclone landfall, but this is a setup that can make it happen.
This storm is different than Alberto in that it is of more true tropical origin, and it is much larger. For this reason, the models are picking up on it better than they did with Alberto. There is a large moisture shield associated with the system which 94L will be able to tap into for the next couple of days, and low-level moisture over the southeast U.S. is at a higher level than it was when Alberto formed. Subsidence from the big ridge in the south has made the mid-levels quite dry, and dry air entrainment will likely be a limiting factor in 94L's development, but I think not as limiting as it was with Alberto. 94L will be moving over 27C waters in the Gulf Stream before making it to the coast, which should allow it to strengthen into a moderate tropical storm of around 60mph, the same peak as Alberto, but in reality a stronger storm because of its size and larger pool of moisture. SSTs do drop off a bit in the shallow coastal waters, and this combined with dry air entrainment may cause 94L to weaken just before landfall. A wildcard to consider is that landfall will be occurring in that very curved portion of the SE U.S. coastline, and such curvature can enhance convergence into the core of a tropical cyclone and help spin it up as it nears the coast.
Overall, 94L has a high chance of becoming tropical storm Beryl likely sometime tomorrow, and will be making landfall on the U.S. coast, likely somewhere between Daytona Beach and Savanna, GA. The landfall location will be pinned down better once the system has developed and starts moving towards the coast. This will be a decent rain event for Florida all the way up through the Carolinas, as the system will be turning northeast eventually as the blocking ridge moves out of the way. We may even have to watch for some redevelopment if the center gets back out over the water off of the Carolinas before moving ENE out to sea. In general this system should bring mostly good things to the SE U.S. in the form of drought relief, but tropical storm conditions will affect those near the landfall location.
After 94L, the Atlantic should be quiet for at least the next couple of weeks, as the pressure pattern over North America is becoming unfavorable to support low-level convergence in the early-season tropical breeding grounds, and we should see a lull in activity until the 2nd half of June. I will talk more about that later.
We shall see what happens!

Anonymous, the point (in case you only watch MSNBC) is that the troops in Afghanistan deeareptsly need reinforcements to keep from losing the war, but Obama is delaying that decision…and delaying…and delaying while still making time for a pointless 4 hour campaign stop in New Orleans, followed by a $34,000 per couple fundraiser in San Francisco.But purely apart from that, yes, we would prefer seeing Obama try his hand at manual labor and useful work rather than what he is doing, so thank you for asking!
It strikes me we're tinkalg about two very different kinds of policy here, and I'm not sure one merits the name 'policy' at all.Clearly it is entirely in the power of the US or the states to enact legislation discouraging development on flood-prone areas, funding the erection of flood barriers, etc.. Those things can and should be done. On the other hand, I'm not sure what legislation the US could enact that would have more than a minimal effect on sea-level rise. We could certainly tax carbon fairly heavily; that would possibly reduce our own direct carbon dioxide emissions. It would not change the rate of carbon emission elsewhere; in fact, by depressing the market price for fossil fuels, it might well lead to increased consumption elsewhere. That isn't policy. That's simply meaningless and rather expensive symbolism.

In terms of general shortages,Cheap iPhone 6 Plus, the iMac will be constrained for the full quarter in a significant way," Cook told investors. "Part of that is that we're beginning shipping the 21.5-inch iMac in November and the 27-inch in December, so there will be a short amount of time during the quarter to manufacture and ramp those, and I expect the demand to be robust.

}}} Such a system could have pnerevted the flooding of New Orleans, and would have signicantly reduced the flooding damage of Superstorm Sandy.New Orleans was screwed, and this fact was know a decade and more beforehand.There was an article in the early-mid 90s in American Heritage of Invention and Technology (a quarterly) that talked about the 1900s-era pumping stations in NO. They acked — in the article — that if a class 4 or above hurricane made landfall near NO that the pumping capacity would be overloaded.I'd been watching every class 3 and above hurricane since reading that article for it to happen, and several times in a row, NO dodged an airborne bullet. Finally, in 2005, what they acked a decade or more before would happen, did.So it wasn't at all a surprise to anyone who knew jack about the Big Easy.

Shigeru Ban (AR'84) Wins Pritzker Prize
POSTED ON: March 25, 2014
Shigeru Ban (AR'84) has won the 2014 Pritzker Architecture Prize, an international honor awarded each year to a living architect for significant achievement. Past laureates include Philip Johnson, Rem Koolhaas and Thom Mayne, designer of 41 Cooper Square. Shigeru Ban is the first graduate of the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture to receive the esteemed prize, which comes with a $100,000 award.
"Shigeru Ban, a Tokyo-born, 56-year-old architect with offices in Tokyo, Paris and New York, is rare in the field of architecture," reads the official announcement. "He designs elegant, innovative work for private clients, and uses the same inventive and resourceful design approach for his extensive humanitarian efforts." Ban frequently works in impoverished or disaster areas designing shelters made of cardboard and paper. He has also designed more large-scale spaces, such as the Pompidou Center's satellite museum in Metz, France.
But his work always returns to focusing on sustainably minded spaces for those in need. It was this work that seems to have most moved the Pritzker jury. "He is an outstanding architect who, for twenty years, has been responding with creativity and high quality design to extreme situations caused by devastating natural disasters," reads the jury citation. "His buildings provide shelter, community centers, and spiritual places for those who have suffered tremendous loss and destruction."
The citation concludes: "Shigeru Ban is a tireless architect whose work exudes optimism. Where others may see insurmountable challenges, Ban sees a call to action. Where others might take a tested path, he sees the opportunity to innovate. He is a committed teacher who is not only a role model for younger generations, but also an inspiration."
Watch the Charlie Rose interview with Shigeru Ban, broadcast the day after the prize was announced. His interview begins at the 26th minute.

Training a Scarlet Macaw to Trust after a Stressful Situation
Attitudes about animals can vary greatly. However even when things are not ideal, we can make an impact on attitudes by modeling a positive reinforcement approach to parrot handling.
At a workshop I was teaching, we had no birds for on hand for training demonstrations. During the lunch break one of the attendees volunteered to run home and bring a scarlet macaw. While I was lecturing the bird arrived. I heard a commotion behind a wall and ran to see what was happening. I was a bit surprised to see the macaw hunkered down in a cardboard box. Several people were trying to get the bird out of the box and moved into a wire holding cage. The parrot eventually moved into the larger cage, but was clearly stressed by the whole situation.
We left the macaw in peace to calm down. After awhile we could see the bird still needed some more assistance to recover from its ordeal. We offered some apple for a boost of sugar and soon the parrot looked more relaxed.
What started out as very traumatic soon turned to incredibly impressive. By offering more apple I soon found I had made a new friend. I opened the door and let the macaw climb out. I started working on training targeting and some approximations towards step up. At one point the bird calmly crawled back into the holding cage garnering a few laughs from us all, but soon came out for more interaction. We stressed to the owner the importance of an appropriate transport cage and to never put a scarlet macaw in a cardboard box again. This meant I would need to train this bird to go back inside the wire cage before the day was over.
To make it possible we needed to add a stable perch to the cage and also slowly turn it on its side so it would eventually fit in the car. We did all this with the macaw sitting on top of the cage. It is amazing what you can do when you get creative, but stick to your kind and gentle approach. Adding the perch and turning the cage was done so gradually the parrot was completely unphased by it. He simply crawled along the outside to remain on top as we turned it.
By the end of the seminar the macaw had made great progress towards stepping up, but was not quite there yet and was not crawling into the cage by following a target. I gave the class permission to leave if they wanted, but said I will be continuing to work with this bird if you want to stick around. Nobody budged. In a matter of 15 minutes the macaw stepped up onto my hand and allowed me to gently place him in the travel cage. I even got a round of applause. Woohoo!
The now calm bird even allowed a few head scratches during the process. While this parrot's start on that day was not what we had in mind, it was an important lesson in what a dramatic change is possible in such a short time when you train with positive reinforcement.
We explained to the owner a better approach to transporting and interacting with her scarlet macaw and I think she was thankful to learn she had other options.

Absolutely gorgeous work Barbara. I'm always so stunned with your work with parrots and I do so love your way of explaining the process. It's clear, concise and so easily pictured. Thank you for posting this. It was beautiful.

A Colorbox/Lightbox plugin for WordPress.
jQuery Colorbox features 11 themes from which you can choose. See my website.
Works out-of-the-box with WordPress Galleries and NextGEN Gallery! (choose no effect in NextGEN settings)
When adding an image to a post or page, usually a thumbnail is inserted and linked to the image in original size.
All images in posts and pages can be displayed in a Lightbox/colorbox when the thumbnail is clicked.
Images are grouped as galleries when linked in the same post or page. Groups can be displayed in a slideshow within the Lightbox/colorbox.
Individual images can be excluded by adding a special CSS class.
jQuery Colorbox can also open linked content (external as well as inline) in a Lightbox/Colorbox.
Go to the plugin page for demo pages.
For more information visit the FAQ.
If you have questions or problems, feel free to write an entry at the jQuery Colorbox WordPress.org forum

Is your native language missing?
Translating the plugin is easy if you understand english and are fluent in another language.
I described in the FAQ how the translation works.
Includes ColorBox 1.4.33 jQuery plugin from Jack Moore.
The picture I used for the screenshots was designed by Davide Vicariotto
Imagens de tela
Upgrading From A Previous Version
To upgrade from a previous version of this plugin, use the built in update feature of WordPress or copy the files on top of the current installation.
Installing The Plugin
Either use the built in plugin installation feature of WordPress, or extract all files from the ZIP file, making sure to keep the file structure intact, and then upload it to /wp-content/plugins/
Then just visit your admin area and activate the plugin.
That's it!
Configuring The Plugin
Go to the settings page and choose one of the themes bundled with the plugin and other settings.
Do not forget to activate auto Colorbox if you want the Lightbox/Colorbox to work for all images.
I installed your plugin, but when I click on a thumbnail, the original picture is loaded directly instead of in the Colorbox. What could be the problem?
Make sure that your theme uses thewp_head();
function in the HTML head-tag.
I have seen problems where other plugins include their own versions of the jQuery library my plugin uses.
Chances are that the other jQuery library is loaded after the one that I load. If that happens, the colorbox features are overwritten. -
How does jQuery Colorbox work?
When inserting a picture, the field "Link URL" needs to contain the link to the full-sized image. (press the button "Link to Image" below the field)
When rendering the blog, a special CSS class (colorbox-postId
, e.g.colorbox-123
) is added to linked images.
This CSS class is then passed to the colorbox JavaScript. -
How do I exclude an image from Colorbox in a page or post?
Add the CSS classcolorbox-off
to the image or to the link to the big sized image you want to exclude.
jQuery Colorbox does not add the colorbox effect to images that have the CSS classcolorbox-off
. -
How does jQuery Colorbox group images?
For all images in a post or page, the same CSS class is added. All images with the same CSS class are grouped. -
I have Flash (e.g. Youtube videos) embedded on my website. Why do they show up over the layer when I click on an image?
This is a Flash issue, but relatively easy to solve. Just activate the automatic hiding of embedded flash objects on the settings page.
Adobe described on these sites what the problem is and how to fix it manually:
Adobe Knowledgebase 1
Adobe Knowledgebase 2 -
I have a problem with the Colorbox or want to style it my own way. Can you help?
Of course I want to help everyone, but I have a full time job and I don't have the time. You can ask your questions at the Colorbox Google group. -
Why is jQuery Colorbox not available in my language?
I speak German and English fluently, but unfortunately no other language well enough to do a translation.
Would you like to help? Translating the plugin is easy if you understand English and are fluent in another language. -
How do I translate jQuery Colorbox?
Take a look at the WordPress site and identify your language code:
e.g. the language code for German isde_DE
.- download POEdit
- download jQuery Colorbox (from your FTP server or from WordPress.org)
- copy the file
and rename it. (in this casejquery-colorbox-de_DE.po
) - open the file with POEdit.
- translate all strings. Things like
mean that a value will be inserted later. - The string that says "English translation by Arne …", this is where you put your name, website (or email) and your language in. 😉
- (optional) Go to POEdit -> Catalog -> Settings and enter your name, email, language code etc
- Save the file. Now you will see two files,
. - Upload your files to your FTP server into the jQuery Colorbox directory (usually
) - When you are sure that all translations are working correctly, send the po-file to me and I will put it into the next jQuery Colorbox version.
My question isn't answered here. What do I do now?
Feel free to open a thread at the jQuery Colorbox WordPress.org forum.
I'll include new FAQs in newer versions.

Truist's $20 million Operation Hope investment expands financial inclusion to more communities
Partnership transforms access to financial resources, creating better lives and communities.
ATLANTA, April 29, 2021 – Truist Financial Corporation (NYSE: TFC) and Operation HOPE today announced an expanded, multiyear transformational partnership, including a series of collaborative programs such as HOPE Inside coaching, digital access that connects to education and Truist solutions, and HOPE's 1 Million Black Business Initiative (IMBB), as part of the bank's commitment to bring access and solutions to build better lives and communities.
Truist and Operation HOPE will expand their community-based approach to financial wellness to provide more people with the education, insights and tools that will empower and build better lives. To achieve this goal, Truist and Operation HOPE have entered into a four-year partnership that will expand and transform HOPE Inside coaching, bringing in-person and virtual financial coaching, educational content and solutions to 1,000 Truist branches. Additionally, Truist and Operation HOPE will further expand digital and mobile access to financial coaches and a host of financial education resources to solve everyday financial challenges.
The expanded partnership also supports Operation HOPE's work toward launching 1 million Black-owned businesses by 2030. Truist is accelerating the program by offering small business solutions, along with in-kind support and a capacity-building investment.
"I am honored by Truist's commitment and support of Operation HOPE's mission to bring financial literacy to all and help aspiring Black entrepreneurs launch the businesses of their dreams," said Operation HOPE Founder, CEO and Chairman John Hope Bryant.

Now the sixth largest U.S. commercial bank, Truist serves approximately 15 million clients.
"Truist's purpose, to inspire and build better lives and communities, is rooted in the firm belief of providing equal opportunities that allow all to thrive," said Head of Retail Community Bank Brant Standridge.

It means we will be able to reach more people with HOPE Inside coaching and give them the support they need to build stronger financial futures. It means helping more Black entrepreneurs succeed. But most of all, it means giving hope, through financial empowerment, to thousands of individuals, their families and their communities."

A classical relationship problem is the dichotomy between solving a problem and providing empathy. If you really want to understand this, spend two minutes and watch the awesome "It's Not About The Nail" video below.
Amy and I have figured this out extremely well in our relationship. We talk about it in Startup Life: Surviving and Thriving in a Relationship with an Entrepreneur using the example of the scene from the movie White Men Can't Jump to frame the situation.
There's a delightful scene in the movie White Men Can't Jump. In it, Billy Hoyle (played by Woody Harrelson) and Gloria Clemente (played by Rosie Perez) are in bed together. Gloria says to Billy, "Honey, I'm thirsty." Billy gets up without saying word, goes to the kitchen, fills up a glass of water, brings it back to the bed, and gives it to Gloria. As Billy is crawling back into bed, Gloria tosses the water in his face. Startled, Billy says, "What?!" A long conversation ensues, which can be summarized as, "Honey, when I say I'm thirsty, I don't want a glass of water. I want empathy. I want you to say, 'I know what it's like to be thirsty.'"
But this isn't limited to personal relationships, or the difference between men and women (lots of men need empathy, even if they don't know how to ask for it.) I see this all the time in my interaction with entrepreneurs and CEOs. I see it in the board room. And I see it in the way a CEO works with her leadership team.
The natural reaction in many of these cases is to immediately jump in and solve the problem. Granted, this is male-centric, as the ratio of men to women in these meetings at startups and entrepreneurial companies is very high. But it's also CEO and entrepreneur-centric behavior; most CEOs and entrepreneurs are heat seeking problem solving missiles.
If you are an entrepreneur, CEO, or VC take a moment and think. Do you ever focus on "empathy" rather than "problem solving." If you want to see an example of this in action, watch Jerry Colonna's brilliant interview with Jason Calacanis. There's a lot of incredible things on display in this interview, including plenty of empathy.

While we're at it, why not realign this way? [Rolls eyes] |
Puck Daddy offers up all sorts of reasons why this is a really dumb way to conduct a realignment, and I agree with him. Detroit has just as much a logistical claim to being in the East as Columbus in my book (Shut up, Nashville. We didn't put you in the Central time zone.), but the notion that Detroit would be in a division with Washington, Carolina and the two Florida teams for the foreseeable future is silly. Let's be honest: Swapping Winnipeg for Columbus is a stretch of common sense as well, but Columbus is that much closer to the Southeast. A larger realignment would be more logical, but logic and the National Hockey League rarely intersect.
Of course, this is all speculation. However, McKenzie is a pretty solid journalist, and he won't report something that doesn't have legs. Thus, we have to presume that the Winnipeg-Detroit/Southeast-Central swap is a going concern.
As I try to rationalize this goofiness in my mind, I can only come up with two plausible explanations:
- Fat, dumb and happy: The Eastern Conference teams (who clearly have no designs on winning the Stanley Cup by permitting a move of Detroit into their conference) like everything just the way it is and honestly would have been just as happy to keep Winnipeg in the Southeast. Well, everyone except those Southeast teams that have to travel to Winnipeg all the time. If this explanation is true, the "larger realignment" suggested above seems less likely.
- The band-aid: This is a one-year solution, two at maximum, while the NHL waits for the Phoenix relocation shoe to drop. The 'Yotes are on life support in Phoenix, with the team relying upon a $25 million annual gift from the City of Glendale to keep the books in balance. I can't see that lasting much longer, as the whole idea of direct "NHL franchise welfare" payment was sold as a bridge payment while the NHL found a new, private owner. The owner hasn't materialized (or, better said, the owner materialized and then evaporated). How much longer will the taxpayers support this madness? So if the Desert Doggies are on the verge of moving, why not wait to see where they land before shuffling the realignment deck?

John Morse was president of the Colorado Senate until September, when he became the first elected official recalled in the state's history.
Three months later, he's climbing the rotunda steps of the gold-domed Capitol building — his office for seven years. He hasn't been here since October. Gazing up at the dome, he says, "This is one of my favorite things to do. That's my version of smelling the roses."
Morse's political career ended over the gun bills he pushed through these chambers eight months ago. But he says he would do it all again.
"I have zero regrets," he says. "Keeping people safe is my No. 1 priority, and if that costs me my political career, that's a really small price to pay to keep people from dying at the hands of an M16 in a schoolhouse or in a theater."
One year ago, a gunman killed 26 people, most of them children, in Newtown, Conn. The attack came just months after a shooter killed 12 in a movie theater in Aurora, Colo. The attacks prompted a push for state and federal legislation to address gun violence across the country. Colorado moved quickly, passing new limits on ammunition magazines and implementing universal background checks for gun purchases.
But there's been a big backlash from some Colorado voters. Morse and state Sen. Angela Giron, a fellow Democrat from a similar conservative-leaning district, were recalled in the months after those bills became law. And another Democratic state senator facing the threat of a recall, Evie Hudak, resigned in November.
The recall efforts that ousted Morse and Giron garnered a lot of national attention. The National Rifle Association and other gun groups poured in tens of thousands of dollars, as did New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg on the other side.
But it wasn't just Newtown or Aurora that drove Morse to push for the gun legislation. He's a former cop and was a paramedic before that.
"So I have been to literally hundreds of shootings," he says. "I don't think people understand at all ... the state of gun laws in this country that make it so easy for people to die and/or be seriously injured by a gun."
From Recall Leader, A Different View
But just as Morse was driven by personal experiences with gun violence, so was another Colorado man on the opposite side of the spectrum.
Sixty miles north of the Capitol, in conservative Weld County, is the farming town turned suburb of Windsor. It's where Joe Neville heads up political organizing for the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, the group that led the Morse recall effort.
"I went to Columbine High School," Neville says. "I wasn't there the day of the tragedy, but I had left a few months earlier. I did have a brother in the school that day, a sister-in-law in the school that day."
Neville, young and clearly passionate, is sitting on a leather couch at the back of the office. The wood-paneled walls are adorned with Revolutionary War paintings and pictures of Ronald Reagan.
Gun-free zones around schools, he says, "are really just target-rich zones for criminals. And that's exactly what happened that day, is that you had a bunch of students there that had no defense around them."
Since the Columbine shootings, Neville says he's worked tirelessly for gun rights. He says armed teachers with the right training could have saved lives on that day back in 1999, or last year in Newtown.
Asked about the recall campaign that he helped coordinate, Neville's face widens into a proud grin.
"Anytime you can get tens of thousands of people across a state, in each district, to come out and fight for freedom, yeah, it makes me happy," Neville says. "It gives me hope that the radical leftists that are controlling Washington, D.C., and all the way down to the state and county levels, they don't control the people. Which is what they want to do, they want to control the people."
Listening to these two men — the gun rights activist and the ousted state senator — you get a real sense of the two Colorados: deep red and deep blue. It's not unlike the way people talk about national politics these days.
But in Colorado, there is a middle ground. Polls have shown support for some gun control measures, like expanded background checks. Still, three months after the recalls, eight months after the bills passed, a year after Newtown and 17 months after Aurora, Neville and Morse are still as dug in as ever.
"Second Amendment is, as written in the Constitution, we don't compromise on our gun rights, at all," Neville says.
Morse says that's "ridiculous. I mean, that's just asinine. And yet that's where the Republicans are: 'Nope, we don't need background checks. Everybody that wants a gun gets a gun.' "
Looking Forward, From Different Corners
Morse, the ousted Senate president, packed up and moved out of his hometown, Colorado Springs, after he was recalled. He's now living in Denver, where he's starting a new group to push for universal background checks across the country.
"In Colorado, we fixed the problem," Morse says. "But there are plenty of other states in this country where you can go to a gun show and buy a gun without a background check, much less go to the trunk of someone's car on a street corner and buy a gun. That's just not a good idea."
And for Neville, there are no more recall efforts on his agenda right now. He's focused on more Democrats in swing districts whom his group considers vulnerable on guns.
"The individuals, the people, the citizens in Colorado specifically, are standing up. We're going to move things back in the right direction," he says.
There is one thing these two men agree on: The fight over gun control versus gun rights is going to continue in Colorado. They're both looking to the 2014 elections as the next battleground.
