At The Capitol
Our advocacy work brings environmental issues to the forefront of state politics. Coloradans care about our environment and want our legislators to reflect those values. With the help of communities, businesses, local governments, and coalitions, we can ensure that all of our elected officials do just that.
We educate the public about the conservation positions of candidates and hold elected officials accountable for their environmental records. We track bills in the legislature, leading the fight for environmental bills while defending against anti-environmental attacks. Focusing on bipartisan collaboration, we promote protection of Colorado's air, land, water, and people.
We know that Coloradans are with us. According to the 2015 Colorado College State of the Rockies poll, 72% of Coloradans believe that public lands belong to all Americans. The same poll showed that 78% of Coloradans support using our water more wisely, and 76% want their leaders to pursue renewable energy. It is indisputable that Coloradans care about their environment and want their legislators to do the same.
Our role is to empower people to engage with decision makers on these important issues.

BEIRUT (Reuters) - At least 50 rebels were killed in an ambush by Syrian government forces in a mountainous area near the Lebanese border on Saturday, activists and security sources said.
Forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad backed by allies from the Lebanese Shi'ite militant movement Hezbollah have largely pushed insurgents from towns and villages in the Qalamoun region bordering Lebanon since March, but some pockets of rebels have held out.
On Saturday, pro-government militias and Hezbollah fighters led an artillery ambush killing "dozens" of rebels, including from the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front and the Islamic State, an al Qaeda offshoot, the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The ambush took place around the town of al-Jobeh, around 10 km (6 miles) from the border.
The Observatory's director Rami Abdurrahman said it was not clear exactly how many rebels died in the fighting in the region, but the total was "at least 50".
Lebanese and Syrian security sources put the death toll much higher, saying around 170 rebels were killed, but this could not be independently confirmed. They said nine Syrian government fighters and two Hezbollah fighters had also died.
Tensions also flared across the border in Lebanon in the Sunni Muslim border town of Arsal, where tens of thousands of Syrian refugees have fled the fighting and violence from the war has often spilled over.
???Lebanese authorities arrested a Nusra Front leader, Emad Jumaa, at a checkpoint around Arsal, security sources and state media said.
Following the arrest, "masked Islamist gunmen" appeared in the area, Lebanon's National News Agency said, although no clashes were immediately reported.
Syria's rebels are overwhelmingly Sunni, while Assad is from the Shi'ite-derived Alawite sect and has been supported by Shi'ite militias from Lebanon and Iraq. Over 170,000 people have died in the conflict, the Observatory says.

Nice try Pickering.

Try asking Hillary some questions. You might find out something you didn't know.
I call BS on his statement.
I have heard alot about who did what. Is there anyone out there that can say factually what the procedure is when a Ambassador is under attack and who calls these shots.

Preservationists criticize Suns owners' downtown plansPosted: Updated:
PHOENIX -- The owners of the Phoenix Suns are facing opposition to their plans to demolish a couple of old hotels they have owned for several years.
Team owner Robert Sarver reportedly wants to tear down the St. James and Madison hotels, located a block from US Airways Center, to create a new valet parking lot.
The hotels have stood boarded up and vacant for years, but preservationists are protesting plans to level the buildings, which were built in 1909 and 1929.
"In Phoenix a lot of buildings have been torn down," said preservation blogger Connor Descheemaker. "You walk around downtown and there's a lot of parking lots. It makes it all that much more important to save the old buildings we have left."
The hotels are not on the historic registry, so the city cannot step in to save them.
"The property owners have a demo permit and can move forward with their plans at any time," said Michelle Dodds in the city's Preservation Office. "But it would be wonderful to preserve the buildings."
Michael Levine is a Phoenix developer and entrepreneur who has rehabbed several old warehouses and factories into new, hip offices, shops, restaurants and galleries.
"I'm fighting tooth and nail for them," Levine told 3TV. "Each guy who says, 'Oh, that's just an ugly old building,' needs to be re-educated."
Levine has proposed a compromise in which the front half of the buildings would remain standing and be redeveloped, and the backs would be leveled to make room for the Suns' valet lot.
Suns officials are not commenting publicly on their demolition plans or the proposed compromise.
"No one's even tried to give these buildings a new use and it just takes some creativity," Descheemaker said. "They could become office space or hotel space."
"Once you peel back layers and show how amazing, cool and hip they are, they could be anything," Levine added.
Descheemaker's blog can be found at http://vanishingphx.downtowndevil.com.

The iPhone one year later
It's been exactly a year since Steve Jobs unveiled at Macworld Expo Apple's most important product of 2007, the iPhone (aka the Jesus Phone). I'm working to finish our journal paper assessing the iPhone and its impact, and thus have been collecting data to support our arguments. The most important data will probably come next week when Jobs talks about Q4 sales — hopefully including meaningful overseas data.
One thing I came across is a year old assessment of the iPhone by Padmasree Warrior, who until a month ago was CTO of Motorola. The gist of this was that "we've been doing this for a long time and they've made a lot of mistakes."
A year later, the iPhone has been a strong success (at least in the US), not only in terms of units and business model, but also in changing how consumers and the industry think about mobile devices. Largely on the strength of the iPhone, Apple shares were up 133.5% in 2007, more than Google, HP, Intel or Oracle.
Meanwhile, Warrior and her mentor (then-CEO Ed Zander) have been forced out due to Motorola's mediocre results at introducing compelling new products since the RAZR. I'm told Motorola has trouble producing good software, which could be said for almost all of the world's mobile phone makers — but not Apple. Motorola shares are roughly 25% below where they were when Warrior offered her critique.
People draw a bad hand or make mistakes, so it's not as though I wish Warrior ill. However, the original column makes no sense to me whatsoever: I cannot understand why anyone would predict failure for a direct competitor in print — as in sports or politics, it's a no win proposition. If you're right, then you can beat them in the market and no one will remember what you said. If you're wrong, then not only do you look petty, but clueless as well.

Carroll County Man Arrested In Meth Investigation Appears In Court
EUREKA SPRINGS (KFSM) – A Carroll County man accused of distributing methamphetamine appeared in court on Friday (Aug. 29), according to a news release from U.S. Attorney of the Western District of Arkansas Conner Eldridge.
Fernando Canales-Mendoza, 52, of Carroll County appeared in Fort Smith before Judge James Marchewski, the release states.
In early 2014, the Drug Enforcement Administration and Carroll County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation into a drug-trafficking organization in Eureka Springs, according to the release.
Law enforcement made two purchases of meth during controlled buys that took place during the investigation, the release states.
On Aug. 27, authorities arrested Canales-Mendoza on a warrant, according to the release.
During the arrest, a search warrant was executed on Canales-Mendoza's residence, and investigators found approximately 140 grams of meth, the release states.
U. S. Attorney Eldridge stated, "Kids in Carroll County and all across our district deserve to grow up in communities free from drug trafficking and the violence and other crime that comes with it."
He continued, "Our office remains focused on identifying and prosecuting those responsible for bringing large amounts of methamphetamine and other drugs onto our streets. I appreciate the cooperative effort in this investigation between the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Carroll County Sheriff's Office."
The case is being investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Carroll County Sheriff's Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandon Carter is prosecuting the case, according to the release.

Back in the early 2000s, White Wolf were doing some really interesting things with their World of Darkness lines. Then they went and crashed the whole line to start something new, and I left because I thought it was both a stupid business decision, a great way to alienate existing fans, and generally a step that felt weird. I can understand why they did it, but it just wasn't for me any more.
But back to the good days before the crash. The thing I'm interested at this point is the way the sourcebooks specifically integrated two versions of the rules in them. The background text was exactly the same, but the books provided a way to handle powers from a tabletop perspective, then a separate paragraph (or two...sometimes in a text box) that described how the power should function in their live format "Minds Eye Theatre". The tabletop and live games functioned so differently that there was a distinct need to explain the powers within the structure of each set of rules, even though they wee effectively meant to be different ways of playing the same game. The live game handled things like political intrigue far more effectively, while the tabletop game was awesome for supernaturally themed superheroes (and then there were those few people I knew who played the World of Darkness games "properly" with angst and catharsis and all that stuff).
This has been raised because my current project looks like it could really benefit from the same split of mechanisms. There is a boffer LARP where combat is quick, resolved in real time, and often leaves out complicated bits of the rules in the heat of battle, because people sometimes honestly forget stuff when their being swung at with a sword. There is a computer element that characters can be slotted into, where slippery footing on the ground isn't a physical hindrance, but needs to be simulated through modifiers within the programming, and the nuances of social intrigue seem beyond the scope of mainstream compute games, and are far beyond my programming skills.
That basically brings us to the notion of game design in the mid to late part of the first decade of this century (ie. 2004-2010). The notion that elements of the OSR seem to be rebelling against, and the notion that has seen a lot of critique in more recent years..."system matters". There are two distinct games here, one live, one online. They are meant to provide different (but overlapping) experiences, each game will cater to it's strengths as a medium, but will allow for a diversity of play styles within that format. Everyone doesn't want the same thing out of a game, and a lot of players like to explore the experience a game provodes before deciding how best they can interact within it (these are two points that I just haven't been able to get through to a lot of the local LARPers at the moment).
So, in this project, a single simply format defines the characters, but these characters are slightly modified because the rules their statistics interact with are modified. Basically like playing a game of Rifts where each of the alternate dimensions has it's own rule set and therfore encourages specific types of stories to be told...or like numerous OSR games where different games use the same stat line of six attributes, THAC0, and saving throws, but apply some kind of quirky twist to set themselves apart from similar games, or to claim they are innovating.
I'm not going for subtle shifts here, instead I'm aiming for a mysterious game of exploration in a strange land, and a second game of high intrigue politics as heroes bring the things they've found during their exploration into a settingwhere they can use these tools against one another. It basically functions like the Camarilla organisation's version of Minds Eye Theatre, where there was a separate influence game that handled activity between games while the high stakes action occured face to face during the monthly sessions.
All these ideas, that feel like they've been fragmented for decades, waiting for someone to put them together in a coherent form. I'm surprised I haven't seen someone do it effectively already. Of course, now that I've said that, someone's going make a comment below where they point out people who've been doing this exact thing.

Arkansas Game and Fish Commissioners at their Jan. 16 meeting set July 1 as the date Arkansas will become part of the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact. The Compact is an agreement between states that recognizes suspension of hunting, fishing and trapping licenses across state lines. As a Compact member, Arkansas will share wildlife violation information with other member states and will recognize suspension of hunting and fishing privileges in other member states. Member states will, in turn, treat conviction in Arkansas of wildlife offenses as if it had occurred in their state. There are currently 39 states in the compact.
AGFC Director Mike Knoedl said any person whose license privileges or rights are suspended in a member state face the same suspension in Arkansas. "This cooperative interstate effort will improve our agency's ability to protect and manage Arkansas's wildlife resources," he added.
In other business, the Commissioners authorized entering into a land exchange agreement with The Price Companies, Inc. of Monticello. AGFC will trade 242 acres near the southeast corner of Cut-off Creek Wildlife Management Area for 185 acres of in-holdings owned by Price plus additional adjoining acreage to be identified.
In other matters, the commissioners named Joel Campora as the National Wild Turkey Federation Officer of the Year. Campora died May 31, 2013 during a water rescue attempt in western Arkansas; Campora's wife Rebecca accepted the award.
Also, approval was given to grants of youth elk hunting permits (either sex) for the Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation and the Arkansas Wildlife Federation. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation also received an either sex permit. The permits are for fundraising purposes and will be used during the October 2014 elk season.

Pet Insurance Claim of the Week: Salmon Poisoning
As I was going through the claims, one particularly caught my eye. Suspected salmon poisoning. "Hmm," I thought. "Can dogs be poisoned by salmon?"
After a quick internet search, I learned that it is true, pets can become poisoned by salmon! Accordnig to the WSU Vetmed website, salmon and some other fish can be infected with a parasite that is typically harmless to dogs. However, if the parasite itself is infected with an organism called Neorickettsia helminthoeca (say that five times fast) then it can be very dangerous to dogs. Cats and other animals can eat the raw fish without consequence as salmon poisoning only affects dogs.
Symptoms of salmon poisoning include vomiting, fever, diarrhea, weakness and dehydration. Without treatment, the condition can quickly turn fatal. The condition is diagnosed via fecal sample.
Cade is a young Golden Retriever who recently experienced suspected salmon poisoning.
Total claim amount: $2,643.29
Deductible applied: -$250.00
Exam fees: -$99.00
Unrelated charges (routine care): -$40.10
10% co-insurance: -$225.42
Trupanion repaid: $2,028.77

The theme of Thursday's ninth annual "Gala of Champions" may have been to "give back childhood," but self-deprecating humor was most definitely the night's common thread.
Celebs used their star power to draw attention and raise funds for the nonprofit CoachArt, which offers arts and athletics coaching to youth with life-threatening illnesses and their siblings. Hosted by Sal Masekela and Brooke Anderson, the gala on Oct. 17 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel offered live entertainment from children currently in the program, who had mastered musical instruments in a matter of weeks.
Bryan Cranston and Chandra Wilson presented awards to the night's honorees, UTA's Jeremy Zimmer and sisters Robin Roberts and Sally-Ann Roberts.
"I offered my services to teach kids how to cook crystal methamphetamines and they said no," Cranston joked. "And I said, 'You realize it's like almost 99% pure?' And they said no. I did say, 'But it's a very kid-friendly light blue color' so we're talking."
Cranston honored United Talent Agency CEO and co-founder Zimmer with the champion of heart and humanity award. Zimmer's agency reps the star.
"I left 10% of my food on the plate if he wants to pick that up later," he said. "It's by habit now. I'm going to try comedy next. I'm going back into comedy."
Zimmer had no trouble keeping up with the punches. He thanked his wife for keeping him "aroused and flustered and in love" before poking fun of himself.
"I participated at a CoachArt summer program and I played a drum, I painted murals, I danced in a conga line with kids and the joy was undeniable," he said. "That morning in the church committee room I experienced the pure joy of living, which came about as a direct result of connecting with and caring about someone else. Then I went back to my normal day and immediately self obsessed and forgot all about that experience."
Wilson presented the news anchors with the champions of courage and hope award. After recovering from cancer in 2008, Robin was diagnosed with the blood and bone marrow disease myelodysplastic syndrome last year. Sally-Ann donated bone marrow for a transplant that ultimately saved her younger sister's life.
"I feel that Robin is my hero; she's grown to be my big sister," Sally-Ann said. "I'm proud of her, not just because she was able and went back to work with her dear friends that she loves at 'Good Morning America' doing the work she loves …"
"The No. 1 morning show in America," Robin interrupted, leaving the crowd in stitches.
"Robin uses that humor and her position to inspire so many," Sally-Ann continued. "Everywhere I go, whether it's a post office or a grocery store, people come up to me and sometimes their eyes are brimming with tears as they tell me, 'You don't know what it means for me to see Robin on the air because I know what she's been through.' … And they say 'Because Robin has been able to go through it, I think I can, too.'"
When Robin took the mic, she said she and Sally-Ann each exemplify one half of the award: Sally-Ann had the courage to donate millions of stem cells, giving Robin hope of survival.
"I literally have her DNA," she later said. "I have her blood type now. I have her allergies. I have her sweet tooth. Though more importantly, I have her zest for life and her desire to be of service to others."
Demonstrating just how in sync the two of them are, both dropped their glass statues during their speeches.

My husband and I have stayed here three separate times now in February, May and June. The hotel is clean and the staff are very friendly.

It may be dated, the rooms are a good size and clean. Beautiful park beside the river that runs right behind it. There is even a small dock to fish from! Some rooms even have balconies.
Inexpensive accommodations.
I have been to big and small hotel rooms to spend nights after work as part of my job. Radio station staff in Kemptville recommended this motel to me. This is a small motel but definitely the best of its kind I have stayed.

April 3, 2007
Up Next
Santa Clara men's tennis team plays two important make-up matches this week, one at home and one on the road. SCU takes on Stanford on Wednesday, April 4 on the road at the Taube Family Tennis Center at 1:30 p.m. PT. The following day, the Broncos play West Coast Conference rival San Francisco at 2:30 p.m. PT at the Degheri Tennis Center. The USF match was rained out on two previous occasions, while the Stanford match was rained out on March 26.
Last Week
Santa Clara won both of its matches last week, defeating Brigham Young on March 27 in convincing fashion, 6-1, and then earning a heart-stopping 4-3 win over Harvard on March 31. SCU won two out of three doubles matches against BYU and then nearly went unbeaten in singles to claim the victory over the nation's No. 69 team. Bobby Rasmussen stretched his winning streak to nine matches, while Blane Shields' unbeaten run reached eight. On March 31 against Harvard, the Broncos had to battle hard throughout. With Rasmussen out of the lineup, Kevin McQuaid joined Jan Macek at No. 1 singles and the pair got its first win together. Brian Brogan and Jay Wong also won their doubles match to give SCU the doubles point. In singles, Brogan and Wong won tough two-set matches to get the Broncos to three points. However, Harvard won at No. 4 and No. 5 to cut the lead to 3-2. Tommy Hicks then pulled out an improbable victory, coming back to win 1-6, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 against Sasha Ermakov, to clinch the match for the Broncos.
Live Scoring For Stanford Match
Bronco fans can catch all the action of the dual match between SCU and Stanford on Wednesday, April 4 from the Taube Family Tennis Center by linking to Stanford's live feed of the matches at this link http://gostanford.cstv.com/livestats/tennis/StanfordTennis.html. The match starts at 1:30 p.m. PT.
Scouting Stanford
The Stanford Cardinal is currently No. 55 in the national rankings and the team has posted a 4-11 record in 2007. The team lost its last match 6-1 to Arizona State on March 31. The team's four wins came against the University of Miami, Arizona State and Arizona (twice). The last meeting between the Stanford and Santa Clara came in 2005 when Stanford won 7-0. Current Broncos Jan Macek, Bobby Rasmussen and Blane Shields all played in that match.
Scouting San Francisco
The Dons are coming off a victory over Central Florida in the seventh place match at the Boise State Tournament. USF beat Central Florida 4-3 after losing to Portland and Ball State in the first two rounds of the tournament in Boise. The Dons are now 8-10 on the season. The Dons have beaten Northern Arizona, Loyola Marymount, Hawai'i, Gonzaga, UC Davis, Cal Poly, UC Santa Barbara and Central Florida on the season. The team also has four wins away from home this season. The Broncos took two days to defeat the Dons after rain interrupted the first day of play in the last meeting between the teams. Santa Clara earned a 5-2 victory at the Olympic Club in San Francisco with SCU taking the doubles point and then winning four singles matches. Jay Wong, Tommy Hicks, Bobby Rasmussen and Robert Gallman all earned singles wins. Rasmussen and Jan Macek and Gallman and Blane Shields won doubles matches for George Husack's squad.
Doubles Point
The doubles point continues to be huge for George Husack's team. The Broncos are 15-0 when winning the doubles point and 0-5 when losing the doubles point.
15 Wins
The Broncos have reached 15 wins for the first time under current head coach George Husack. His previous high was 14, set in 2005 and equaled last season. The all-time record for wins in a season is 20, set in 1986 by Cliff Barrett's team.
Win Streak
Santa Clara had its nine-match win streak snapped against Cornell on March 23. The Broncos had not lost since Feb. 9 to Arizona State. The streak was the second longest in program history behind a 12-match winning streak from March 2-April 7, 2002. However, the Broncos have recovered well to win three-straight matches following that defeat and they also still own a four-match road win streak after sweeping three contests away from home from March 4-11.
Macek/Rasmussen and McQuaid/Shields Moving Up Record Books
The doubles teams of Jan Macek/Bobby Rasmussen and Kevin McQuaid/Blane Shields are moving up the record books in career doubles victories. McQuaid and Shields won a school record 20 matches last year to move to No. 4 all-time in doubles wins. The pair has won six matches this year and is now in sole possession of third all-time with 26 wins. Macek and Rasmussen started the year with 18 career wins together and have burst out of the gate this spring, posting a 16-5 record so far to move into sole possession of second place all-time with 34 wins. Macek and Rasmussen are still 13 wins away from the all-time leaders, Marcell Hlousek and Jeremy Testwuide, who won 47 matches together at SCU from 1997-99. For a single season, Macek and Rasmussen are tied for seventh all-time with 16 wins. One more win would catapult them into a tie for fourth place.
Macek/Rasmussen Nearing Top-10 In Combined Doubles
Bobby Rasmussen reached 51 career combined doubles wins and Jan Macek reached 48 with the pair's wins against San Francisco on March 7 and Cal Poly on March 11. Rasmussen is now tied with Matt Cox (1998-2001) for the No. 9 spot in Broncos history with 51 combined wins. Next on the list is Taylor Bedilion '05, who had 56 career doubles wins. With Rasmussen sitting out on March 24 and 31, Macek teamed with Kenzo Hirakawa-Wong and Kevin McQuaid respectively to win two matches and get to 50 career wins.
Rasmussen Into Top-10 In Singles
Senior Bobby Rasmussen has gotten off to a fantastic start to the spring season in singles, posting a 15-4 record to move his career singles record to 60-48. He is now tied with Federico Mattioli for sixth all-time in singles wins at SCU. Rasmussen has now won nine straight singles matches for SCU. The senior lost his first five matches in the fall, but since those losses he has posted an 18-4 record.
Wong Super Frosh
Freshman Jay Wong gutted out a tough two-set match against Harvard on March 31 to win his 25th match of the season. He won two tiebreakers in the match against Dan Nguyen and he is now tied for second all-time in single-season singles wins in program history. He is tied with Chris Lam and Erich Chen, who both won 25 matches in 2002. The San Jose native has a 25-9 record on the year. He passed teammate Tommy Hicks, who won 24 matches in 2005-06. The all-time record for wins in a season is 30, accomplished by Francisco Zepponi when he posted a 30-8 record in 2002. The Broncos have five regular season matches remaining followed by the WCC Championships for Wong to catch Zepponi.
Resurgent Hicks
Sophomore Tommy Hicks won 24 singles matches as a freshman last year. However, he started off struggling in the dual match season this year going winless in his first five matches. The Portland, Ore. native recovered nicely, winning six in a row to move his dual match record at above .500 at 6-5. His streak was finally snapped on March 23 against Cornell, but he has come back to win two straight matches to get to 8-6 in duals and 16-11 overall. In his win over Harvard's Sasha Ermakov on March 31, he lost the first set 6-1 and was down a break twice in the second set before getting to a tiebreaker. After falling behind 5-1 in the second set tiebreaker, he came back to win six straight points to capture the set 7-6 (7-5). He then pulled another comeback in the third set, recovering from a 4-1 deficit to win the set 6-4 and the match 1-6, 7-6 (5), 6-4.
Shields Unbeaten
Junior Blane Shields finally lost a match after winning his first eight singles matches in duals. He fell 6-3, 6-2 to Gideon Valkin of Harvard on March 31 to drop his record to 8-1 in duals. He is 15-3 overall in singles after going 7-2 in the fall and he has also clinched three wins for SCU.
Bronco Firsts
The Santa Clara men's tennis team has achieved a number of notable firsts this season on the courts. The team defeated UC Irvine for the first time in program history on Feb. 4, earning a 6-1 win. The team's win over the University of Arizona on Feb. 10 contained a pair of firsts. The Broncos had never beaten Arizona in the past and they had not beaten a Pac-10 team on the road. However, SCU accomplished both tasks with its 4-3 victory. The Broncos achieved another first in on March 11, defeating Cal Poly on the road for the first time in school history.
Ranked Foes
SCU has already played 11 ranked opponents this season, Boise State (25), California (18), Pepperdine (9), UC Irvine (74), Arizona State (57), Arizona (72), Hawai'i (73), Oregon (75), Saint Mary's (72), Cornell (75) and BYU (69). Those rankings were at the time of the match. The Broncos played only 10 ranked opponents all of last season. The Broncos next opponent Stanford is ranked 55th.

In response to last week's post Cancer Again (Naturally), a reader wrote in a comment, "Usually the prognosis is pretty grim once it [cancer] has metastasized." I saw my oncologist the next day and it turns out that's true.
I am going to start radiation treatments the first week in May, but while we might be able to get rid of the current tumor, sooner or later, it will spread somewhere else and if goes someplace where there are vital organs, well, let's just say, it won't be pretty.
A relative asked me if I was at least a little angry that the cancer "came back" (though it actually hadn't left). He mentioned how novelist and Christian theologian C.S. Lewis vented at God when his wife died a painful death after her cancer, thought to be cured, returned. Lewis wrote a journal of his thoughts and feelings about his wife's ordeal that he published as A Grief Observed in 1961. I have not read the book (not much of a Lewis fan), but previewed it at Google Books: "Meanwhile, where is God? . . . Go to Him when your need is desperate, when all other help is vain, and what do you find? A door slammed in your face, and a sound of bolting and double bolting on the inside. After that, silence." (p6)
In the past, I have had some issues with anger management. When the liver cancer first appeared, I was angry. I was irritated. It was a major interruption in my life. I had other things I wanted to do than go on doctor's appointments, sit around in waiting rooms, have people poke and prod me, etc. But I did my best to work through the anger, and its cousin, fear. And I wrote about that process here on The Endless Further.
After the transplant, I thought the cancer was gone. But it was merely in hiding, keeping a low profile, and now it's active again, threatening to take my life. But I am not angry this time. No thought of anger has risen in my mind. No angry emotion has surfaced. I don't believe in God, so getting angry with him would be like venting to a closed door. No sense in getting angry at the cancer, it could care less whether I like it or not.
In A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life, Shantideva wrote that anger is our greatest enemy, capable of destroying all the good in our lives, and since it has no purpose, rather than getting angry at something or someone, it's better to see whatever it is as assisting you in your spiritual development.
Viewing cancer as a spiritual friend is a tall order. I'm not quite there, but no anger is a good accomplishment.
Another reader in a comment to last week's post, encouraged me to continue to share this part of my journey, and I think I will for the time being. However, for today, that's all I have.
With all this going on, I have neglected National Poetry Month, which I like to celebrate each year. Anger can be a positive, motivating force when it is in response to the suffering of others or directed at injustice. Set against the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War in 1936, Cesar Vallejo's poem is a meditation on that aspect of anger.
The Anger That Breaks The Man Into Children
Translated from Spanish by Clayton Eshleman and José Rubia Barcia
The anger that breaks the man into children,
that breaks the child into equal birds,
and the bird, afterward, into little eggs;
the anger of the poor
has one oil against two vinegars.
The anger that breaks the tree into leaves,
the leaf into unequal buds
and the bud, into telescopic grooves;
the anger of the poor
has two rivers against many seas.
The anger that breaks the good into doubts,
the doubt, into three similar arcs
and the arc, later on, into unforeseeable tombs;
the anger of the poor
has one steel against two daggers.
The anger that breaks the soul into bodies;
the body into dissimilar organs
and the organ, into octave thoughts;
the anger of the poor
has one central fire against two craters.

Prosperity gospel preacher Creflo Dollar is pushing probably the most transparently authoritarian line imaginable. He wants us to honor the appointed authorities and not condemn them for their wrongdoinds:
It's time to cover our leaders. Because some of these men have made bad decisions maybe, I don't know, some have gotten themselves into places they should[n't] be, I don't know.
What I do know is that I'm not going to join up with the accuser of the brethren. I'm going to cover them – listen – I'm going to cover them because they're appointed authority.
He then goes into the story of David and Saul and how David showed Saul appropriate honor because of his God given authority. From there:
So what, one wonders, should a member of the flock do when a preacher is embezzling from the church coffers or having sex with underage parishioners? All Dollar will say is that we're not to join with the "twitter-facebook crowd" and accuse them of wrongdoing.
See, the democratic mindset convinces you that when you see appointed authorities in the kingdom it is your job to expose. And all you do is bring a curse on yourself. Because you've not been properly trained on how to honor appointed authority.
If this doesn't send chills down your spine, you're not paying attention. It's the most theocratic reasoning there is. The only reason folks like Dollar aren't pushing for a divine monarchy is because that would place someone above them in the hierarchy.
Via Scott Bailey, who lays out the stages of the scam that Dollar is a part of.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration will make it easier for cities and states to spend federal money on public transit projects, and particularly on the light-rail systems that have become popular in recent years, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Wednesday.
Administration officials said they were reversing guidelines put in place by the Bush administration that called for evaluating new transit projects largely by how much they cost and how much travel time they would save.
Transit advocates have long complained that such cost-effectiveness tests have kept many projects from being built — especially light-rail projects, since streetcars are not fast — and made it much harder for transit projects to win federal financing than highway projects.
Mr. LaHood said the administration would establish new guidelines that take what he called "livability" into account — evaluating projects not only by how much they shorten commutes but also by their environmental, community and economic benefits.
"We'll finally be able to make the case for investing in popular streetcar projects and other transit systems that people want — and that our old ways of doing business didn't value enough," Mr. LaHood said to thousands of engineers, academics and transportation officials attending the annual convention of the Transportation Research Board, a division of the National Research Council.
Proponents of streetcars credit them with reviving cities as new housing, stores and businesses are built near the lines. They see streetcars as a step toward reversing suburban sprawl and reducing dependence on foreign oil. But opponents say that light-rail systems are simply too expensive to build and operate, given that comparatively few people ride them, and that the vast majority of Americans continue to commute by car — often between homes and jobs that are in the suburbs.Continue reading the main story
Mr. LaHood spoke as Congress considers a second stimulus bill to try to create jobs and give more aid to states and the unemployed. In his remarks, the secretary said he hoped the Senate would soon take up a version of a stimulus bill that contained "a robust investment" in all aspects of transportation.Continue reading the main story

You can say that I have literally been involved in the real estate profession since childhood when I would file my dad's listings each week in the file box, go with him when he listed, and knock on the walls to make sure they were lath and plaster and not that new-fangled dry wall.
I became a realtor in California in 1976 and then moved here in 1984. In 1986 I became a Colorado broker with Rawhide. I built a Lodge Log Home in Black Forest which from 1990-2017, when I sold it, was the AAA-3 Diamond Black Forest Bed & Breakfast.
I bring a lot of life experience with me from buying land, to building your own home, to owning and operating a business when I take you out to find the property that you are looking for.

Broker Associate
I'm excited to be part of The Rawhide Company!
Developing much of the land in northern El Paso County "back in the day", our company has become synonymous with forward-thinking, hard work, ethical standards and solid values that stand the test of time.
I feel at home here, as a love of the outdoors and enjoyment "of the land" was shared with me by my father beginning when I was quite young.
I am a second generation Colorado Springs native. I take pride in a job well done, excellent customer service, and building strong, lasting relationships with my customers. My sales career began in our community in 2000.
I look forward to assisting you with any land or residential needs that you may have in the future.

Lisa Day(0 Properties)
I was born and raised in New Jersey, graduated from Lock Haven State University in Pennsylvania and was commissioned in the U.S. Army. My husband and I were assigned to Ft. Carson in 1989 and we have lived in the Colorado Springs and Eastern Plains area ever since.
After leaving the military to start a family, my husband, Jim, and I started a small feed store business in Falcon (Farmer Jim's Feed). We sold our thriving business 5 years later to devote our time to cattle ranching. Our Limousin/Angus ranch has grown from 2 cows to over 175 in less than 6 years. We've moved around quite a bit, but now we're in the process of building our second home on 400 acres.
I personally understand the stress of packing, moving and searching for just the right place, as quickly as possible and without a lot of hassle. I'm totally committed to helping you find your home, whether it's downtown or out here in the country.

Accredited Buyers Representative
Graduate Realtors Institute
Welcome to my bio! It's so nice to be associated with The Rawhide Company REALTORS® and its people, a company with experienced staff and agents willing to go the extra mile to assist our clients and each other.
I was born and raised in New England, lived a short time in Buffalo, NY before moving to Williamsburg, VA where I lived for 12 years working for The College of William and Mary. My work there involved raising money for scholarships and endowments, making contact with
well-known alumni, students, professors, which has proven good background for my real estate career. It has provided me with the marketing, selling and listening skills which are so important.
Moving to the Black Forest area in 1991 was a dream come true. Blessed with two children, the real estate field afforded me the flexibility I needed to meet their busy schedules. Now that they are in college, my focus is more on making your dreams come true.
With the military having such a big influence on our area, I've become involved in sponsoring a number of service men and women who are serving overseas. The letters and packages we send routinely are a way of expressing our appreciation. The greatest joy is to be at their welcome home ceremonies.
Now that my volunteering days for Girl Scouts, PTO, hockey, baseball and cheerleading have ended, I've been redirected toward supporting Women's Advocacy groups.
My membership in the Pikes Peak Board of Realtors, as well as the Denver Board of Realtors and various local forum groups, provides my clients with more coverage of their listings. Whether buying or selling . . . anything from cabins to castles . . . give me a call!

Need to learn how to reduce adverse impact?
Every personnel decision you make runs the risk of resulting in adverse impact, which is a substantially different selection rate between groups that puts members of certain groups at a disadvantage. Understanding this area of liability is crucial.
DCI consultants can conduct adverse impact analyses on your organization's application, promotion, and termination decisions, identifying areas of concern from a statistical and a practical standpoint.
Our consultants will provide best practice recommendations on personnel decisions to mitigate your risk moving forward.
Steps Analysis
If you are complying with the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures (UGESP), it is critical to evaluate the steps, or stages, in a selection process that may be causing a barrier to an employment outcome. DCI consultants are experts in adverse impact and the detailed stages of defining selection procedures. Our statistical experts can evaluate which stage of the hiring or selection process (e.g., interview process, resume review, selection test) may be the root cause of adverse impact.

Getting To Morzine
Ski Resort Info > Getting To Morzine
Getting to Morzine could not be easier. Airport transfers from Geneva airport take just over 1 hour, one of the shortest transfer times in the Alps.
Previously one of the only options would have been to get a taxi to Morzine, but these were often expensive and not always easy to come by.
Ski-Lifts pioneered shared transfers to Morzine, enabling you to book in advance and travel with other people going to the same resort, just paying for your seat, rather than the whole minibus.
The easiest airport to fly into when travelling to Morzine is Geneva. It is also possible to get private transfers to Morzine from various train stations, including Geneva, Cluses and Thonon and also other airports such as Chambery orLyon.
There is really very little point in driving to Morzine, the journey through France takes upwards of 8-hours and tolls on the motorways can make things more expensive than you think.
Why hire a car to come to Morzine, the resort is compact and there is an excellent public transport system in the resort making getting around Morzine very easy.
If you are driving you also may have to contend with driving in snowy conditions or having to fit snowchains.
Why not let the professional Ski-Lifts drivers deal with this for you instead, so you can just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride?

Lin is no Kobe, that's for sure. Bryant is an excellent passer, Cowherd acknowledges as much. It's pretty clear that Lin can play efficiently and effectively, so I think Lakers will keep him on board next year. At some point, Lakers will want to get a more consistent, solid PG if they can. Rondo may very well fill the starting role, quite possible.
Every player has bad nights. Lin's 0-10 night wasn't the specific concern. It's that he's highly inconsistent, has already had three games in which he wasn't able to hit a single field goal, and has had multiple games where he's looked extremely tentative and diffident. If his shot isn't falling, why not focus more on the defensive end? Why not get your teammates better looks?
Lin shouldn't have the exact same assist numbers as Kobe. In fact, Kobe's assist numbers would be higher had Wes and Boozer not fumbled the majority of nifty passes Kobe sent their way. I can't say the same for Lin. He dribbles the ball past half-court, and largely either passes it to Kobe or hands it off to Hill, retrieves it, acts like he's going to shoot, and either turns the ball over or passes it to someone else. I want to see Lin penetrating the defense and either scoring at the rim or dishing it out to a cutter / open man. He needs to regain confidence in his shot.
Thus far, there is not a single aspect of Lin's game that of which I can point and say, "he's definitely going to bring that today regardless of his other struggles." If Kobe has a bad shooting night (and I've seen some people comparing Kobe's bad shooting nights to Lin's the other night), you can be damn sure he's going to have 15 rebounds, 12 assists, or extra effort on the defensive end (well, at least pre-Achilles injury). He refuses to give up regardless of an abysmal shooting performance.
Lin lacks the aggressiveness and mental fortitude. I feel it's best he comes off the bench and faces competition similar to his own. Most of his assist numbers have came when he was paired with the bench (specifically Davis/Sacre) anyways.
I don't think Coach Scott decides Bryant's minutes. That's up to Kobe. He plays according to how he feels, for example when he stayed in the Wizards game after bumping knees. I don't think he should have been playing down 20 with 3 minutes left.
The mismanagement Scott made there was leaving Kobe in during that entire run.
