Thomas Hardy. Photo from Facebook
DENVER — A man who worked as a society writer at the Rocky Mountain News died Thursday.
Thomas Hardy was at Denver Health Medical Center undergoing treatment for smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning from a fire at his home in the 300 block of Downing St.
Hardy was 68-years-old.
Firefighters pulled him out of the burning house in the Country Club neighborhood early Tuesday and paramedics rushed him to the hospital.
His two dogs died in the fire.
Hardy wrote about Denver’s cultural | events and the movers and shakers in the society circles during the 1980s. He also did fund raising and consulting work for various nonprofit organizations.

Senior military officer is obliterated by way of mortar shell for committing the crime of drinking during the official 100-day mourning period for deceased Dear Leader Kim Jong Il.

When I heard Julie Matsushima discuss her new book, For the Love of Aimee, I was struck by her unwavering determination—not only to make a difference in her granddaughter’s life, but also to make a difference in the lives of all children with special needs. I’ve met many devoted grandmas since I became a grandma eight years ago, but Julie’s devotion to her granddaughter is truly exceptional.
On August 21, 1997 Julie’s identical twin granddaughters were born and her life changed dramatically. Chloe was a healthy, normal baby, but Aimee had massive brain damage and cerebral palsy. The doctors told the family that she probably wouldn’t live through the weekend and, if she did, she would not be able to see, hear, talk, or walk. The family was devastated.
Julie was the first one to enter the ICU to hold Aimee and as she did, she formed a bond with the infant. She also noticed that the baby | seemed alert and startled when a nurse dropped a metal container on the floor. Something “magical” happened for Julie that first day and she made up her mind to do all she could to help Aimee achieve her maximum potential in life.
When Julie’s son and daughter-in-law brought their newborn twins home, Julie reaffirmed her personal commitment to become as involved | [

Making Ethical Decisions -- What Is Ethics Anyway?
To think clearly about ethical issues and develop practical approaches for
dealing with ethical problems, it is important to speak a common language,
with the vocabulary defined.
Ethics refers to standards of conduct, standards that indicate how one
should behave based on moral duties and virtues, which themselves are
derived from principles of right and wrong. As a practical matter, ethics
is about how we meet the challenge of doing the right thing when that will
cost more than we want to pay.
Aspects of Ethics
There are two aspects to ethics: The first involves the ability to discern
right from wrong, good from evil, and propriety from impropriety. The
second involves the commitment to do what is right, good and proper.
Ethics entails action; it is not just a topic to mull or debate.
"Is" vs. "Ought" Ethics
Discussions about ethics and what is or isn’t ethical often veer off into |
semantic debates about the nature of ethics. Many will argue that ethics
are "relative," "situational" or "personal." Such positions usually reveal
a misunderstanding of ethics. "Is," or descriptive, ethics describes
operational standards of behavior — that is, how an individual or group
actually behaves, without reference to what should be. It is usually
associated with cultural relativism and absolute nonjudgmentalness.

ECU, like campuses across the UNC system and the nation, is evaluating hard questions about vertical program cuts, academic consolidations, and other money-saving options that would not normally be considered.
The reason is simple. ECU, along with its fellow UNC campuses, faces the worst budget climate in recent history. ECU has lost $102 million in state funding over the last four years. Estimates place our state base budget cut for the next fiscal year between $30 million and $50 million. Many analysts and longtime observers see this as the beginning of a new era of permanent austerity for public universities.
Because of this environment, in February I asked the Educational Policies and Planning Committee (EPPC) of the Faculty Senate to make recommendations on two separate approaches to adapting to tough budget cuts | . First, the committee was asked to identify criteria and guidelines for prioritizing programs so that ECU had a way to think about how we would make academic program cuts if forced to.
Second, the committee was asked to suggest ways to reduce administrative expenditures by consolidating academic units – with the clear goal of protecting faculty positions.
The EPPC reported to the Faculty Senate on Tuesday, April 19. The committee's preliminary recommendations | [

After seeing my Dad receive his Golden Alumni regalia last Wednesday morning, Isaac and I set out for the serious driving part of the trip, a couple of hundred miles back and forth across the Ozarks. Isaac just likes roads he has never been on before, but I was on mission to take in some lead mines.
I have long been fascinated by the Lead Rush that took place in the mid-Mississippi Valley in the early 19th century. I gather there were actually several of these, and what interested me about them (besides the fact that such a thing could exist) was their total lack of Gold Rush-style romance. The early lead mines, which were worked by the French and Indians before the Usonians (U.S. Americans) came along, were known as “diggings” because they involved scraping around the surface for chunks of promising earth and then heating them to melt and extract the lead. Lead was valued for ammunition-making and various other industrial | purposes, but it does not seem to have been valued all that much. Lead mines were more a case of scratching out some moderate prosperity than striking it rich.
The Lead Rushes brought out a rather eclectic set of hard-up entrepreneurs. Alexander Hamilton’s son William ended up out in Wisconsin Territory; they called him “Uncle Billy” in the squalid encampment where he and his rather dodgy crew of workers lived.

Hello! It's Temple Gill, here, making my first posting to the blog while Todd is winging his way across the pond to London. Looking at his previous post, he's right that he casually mentioned to me last fall that he'd be interested in contributing to our new blog.

I have APM 2. Everything worked great, flying great. Then, I had a crash. My fault, not the board. I crashed into a tree. Now, the board lights up fine when I plug it in via USB to my computer. All the LED lights show normal function. I get GPS lock, I can access Mission Planner, erase eeprom, load new codes (2.5.5), etc.
With the USB still in, if I plug in the lipo and arm the motors, I can throttle up and the motors spin normally. But as soon as I unplug the USB (lipo is still plugged in) the board goes dark | and I get no response from the motors other then the dreaded continual beeps. Somehow, it seems that I'm not able to power the board via the output pins (jumper is in on the JP1 pin), but can power the board via USB.
I've checked all the soldering on all my wires going in and out of the PDB. I've visually checked the board itself. All the soldering looks good. I guess there are many things that could have damaged the board during the crash, but why does it work normally as described above? Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.

The Rhythm of Life
Subtitled “Living Every Day with Passion & Purpose,” Matthew Kelly’s The Rhythm of Life is in many ways no better or worse than the hundreds of other inspirational books that flood the market every year, and yet something about the simplicity of his advice makes this book special for me. He advocates guidelines — rest, spiritual endeavors, intellectual development — that most of us know, but infrequently practice. I also like the beginning of the book, which presents this paradox: “On the one hand, we all want to be happy. On the other hand, we all know the things that make us happy. But we don’t do those things. Why? Simple. We are too busy. To busy doing what? Too busy trying to be happy.” A good book to retune the engine and to remind us that we are human beings rather than machines.

Q: I have a poor credit score (614). Is it possible for me to get a home buyers loan?
A: It is technically possible for you to get a mortgage to purchase a home. The FHA program is theoretically open to borrowers with credit scores as low as 580 and a down payment of just 3.5 percent (plus an up-front insurance premium of 1.75 percent of the loan amount).
However, in reality, many lenders won't write FHA mortgages with FICO scores below 620, even if the FHA will accept them. These add-on requirements (over the program minimums)--called "overlays"--are added by lenders who are afraid that low-credit-score loans will fail at a rate high enough as to bring down the wrath of the FHA upon them. A lender whose loans fail at a significant rate can even lose | their ability to participate in the FHA program, so it's little wonder they are acting defensively and instituting their own overlays.
Since your 614 score is not too far away from the minimums many lenders will consider, your first move should be to take a look though your three credit reports to see if there are any errors or omissions you can correct which might | [

Employees facing redundancy whilst on maternity leave are in a stronger position than their colleagues. The law makes it quite clear that in such circumstances they are entitled to be offered (as opposed to merely having the opportunity to apply for) alternative employment if there is a “suitable available vacancy”. According to the EAT’s recent decision in Simpson v Endsleigh Insurance Services Ltd, whether or not a vacancy is “suitable” will at least partly be up to an employer, bearing in mind what it knows about the employee.
Miss Simpson worked as an insurance consultant in London. While she was on maternity leave Endsleigh closed down the outlet where Miss Simpson worked and relocated the business to call centres in Cheltenham, Burnley and Northern Ireland. It sent Miss Simpson details of alternative vacancies there and invited her to apply for them if she was interested. She did not do so and so was made redundant, but subsequently brought a claim in the Employment Tribunal. She said that she should have been offered alternative employment in Cheltenham without having to apply, and that Endsleigh’s failure to do so amounted to a | breach of the Maternity and Parental Leave Regulations 1999, making her dismissal automatically unfair.
Regulation 10(3) of the MPL Regulations provides not altogether helpfully that in order to be a suitable available vacancy, the work involved in the new job must be “suitable and appropriate” and that its terms and conditions, including the place of work, must not be substantially less favourable to the particular employee.

Thoughts About the Art of Energy Testing
In energy medicine we test many different things. For new-comers, it can be a confusing array of tests and information, all of which is unfamiliar.
When energy testing isn't going well it's helpful to keep in mind that spleen connects to muscles, Bearing in mind the triple warmer/spleen polarity connection and relationship to stress, a chronically stressed and/or homolateral and/or scrambled state would be likely to make energy testing difficult. This can show up in a variety of ways, one of which would be fatigue, weakness, or lassitude. The opposite, strong/strong - strong like an iron bar is the equivalent imbalance at the opposite extreme.

Thus the assessment of 'lack of fitness' could blind you to investigating what is in fact behind weakness, | lack of stamina, tiredness, and/or muscle fatigue.

An interview by David Venditta
Of The Morning Call
July 27, 2003
Gene Salay was badly wounded July 13, 1953, when swarms of Chinese troops overran his unit's position on a barren hill in northern South Korea. The 21-year-old Bethlehem native and Army private first class spent the night among the dead in a pit and was captured the next day.
Now 71 and living in Salisbury Township, the former longtime Lehigh County director of veterans affairs recalls his experiences in the closing weeks of the Korean War, which ended 50 years ago today.
One of the most frightful episodes occurred while the Chinese marched him and other prisoners into North Korea.

We grumbled but huddled close to one another and eventually fell into slumber, if only for brief periods.

A new build – and if you like space and a single levels, you might just like this six-bedroom contemporary modernist property in Horspath, Oxford, Oxfordshire.
Sat high above Oxford and in private grounds covering around six acres (which in turn borders a country park), this newly-constructed property mixes open space, light and a drop of luxury. The result might be a little plain for some, but if you love a blank canvas, it could be your kind of house.
Space is certainly a selling point. Not just that outside space, but inside too.

"Now the right," Lucy said, raising her right arm. In the same flash, Winry's right arm was torn from her body, a fresh scream ripping from her throat as more blood began to cover her. Tears wouldn't stop falling from her eyes, which were squeezed shut, and her toolbox clattered to the floor, some tools spilling out.
I have to do something! Edward screamed in his mind. But I can't move...!
Winry fell to her knees, shaking horribly, hanging her head. She whimpered and wouldn't stop.
"Time for a leg to go," Lucy said, flicking her wrist to the left. Winry's left leg was torn from under her, another scream ripping from her throat. From all of the blood she lost, it was a miracle she was still alive.
"Stop," Edward hoarsely whispered, finding his voice. "Lucy, stop..."

They watched from outside the execution chamber as Paul Ezra Rhoades, convicted in the 1987 deaths of the three, was executed. He received a lethal injection of drugs in the execution chamber of the Idaho Maximum Security Institution at 8:53 a.m. and Erwin Sonnenberg, the Ada County coroner, pronounced Rhoades dead at 9:15 a.m. Friday.
Gov. Otter releases statement on execution of Rhoades
BOISE — Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter released this statement today following the execution of Paul Ezra Rhoades.
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho prison officials executed Paul Ezra Rhoades on Friday for his role in the 1987 murders of two women, marking the state's first execution in 17 years.
Rhoades, 54, was declared dead at 9:15 a.m. at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution after being administered three separate drugs that make up the state's new lethal injection protocol.
In his final statement, Rh | oades said goodbye to his mother, apologized for one of the murders he was convicted of, and forgave state officials for the execution.

If you visit the Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney, take a few minutes to look for a small bridge over a stream near the Wollemi Pine, ‘Australia’s homegrown Christmas tree’, close to the information booth.
This is Macquarie Culvert.
The two brick arches were built as part of the construction of Mrs Macquarie’s Road, which Nicholas Delaney and his gang finished on her birthday in June 1816. They had a double purpose: a drain for the creek’s water, and a bridge.
Built from sandstock brick, the culvert is both typical of early 19th-century drain construction and historically significant, the historian Anna Wong says. But at the end of the 20th century it was in a state of disrepair, with most of the mortar gone and a rare giant fern’s roots threatening to | damage it further.
And the original road was covered with two centuries’ worth of sediment. “It is one of the oldest-known sections of road in Sydney, but its existence surprised archaeologists and heritage architects from the Department of Public Works and Services when they began to dig,” says the Sydney Morning Herald.

Donald Tyson dies: Retired poultry company executive was 80
Donald Tyson, who built his family's business into a poultry-producing behemoth, has died.

It is likely that anyone who read a motorcycle magazine in the second half of the 20th century was familiar with Cliff Boswell. Cliff had an important and powerful influence on the sport and on those who participated in it. Cliff combined his love of motorcycling and the outdoors with his ability as a teacher, his main profession. As a consequence, his articles on cycling and camping, which appeared in most of the major motorcycle publications, were inspiring to others. Through his articles and books, this quiet man was able to educate others in the ways of traveling and camping by motorcycle. This resulted in his founding and for many years leading, the International Brotherhood of Motorcycle Campers, an organization which was, and remains, unique in this sport.
Cliff Boswell was born in Central Point, Oregon, in 1905. He moved to Southern California in 1932, where he earned his teaching degree at Santa Barbara. It was there he met his wife-to-be, Marge. In 1941, the Boswell family moved to Arroyo Grande | , Calif.

I didn’t think much of it at the time, but many years later, I see it has had a profound influence on my work today.
Four years ago, I set out to create a body of work that not only draws on my childhood influences, but also my passion for animals and portraiture. Well known artists such as George Stubbs and John James Audubon have impacted my work in a big way. These historic influences are offset

After 'Gun Appreciation Day,' Organizers Invoke 'Django Unchained' for Follow-Up Campaign

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The San Francisco sheriff fighting to keep his job after being convicted in a spousal-abuse case and the mayor who is striving to have him dismissed faced off on Friday in testimony before a city ethics commission.
The back-to-back appearance of the two men shed little if any new light on the dispute that has rocked San Francisco's close-knit political establishment.
But their testimony gave both the embattled sheriff, Ross Mirkarimi, and Mayor Ed Lee a last chance to personally frame their arguments before the five-member body that will recommend a final disposition to the city's Board of Supervisors, possibly later this summer.
Mirkarimi said his experience as a criminal defendant actually could prove an asset to his role as San Francisco's top-elected law enforcement official, giving him the insight of someone "who has seen both sides of the aisle."
Lee countered that he believes Mirkarimi's admitted misconduct in a criminal domestic-violence case is a violation of the public trust that undermines the legitimacy of his office.
"One of | the more disturbing aspects of this is that the sheriff is in charge of domestic-violence programs," Lee said. "It has historically been a very strong program in San Francisco. | [

Have not been here for a while. A sermon on this site a few weeks ago had a dramatic impact on me. I was feeling at an all-time low. Everywhere I looked I saw cruelty and evilness. God wasn’t talking to me anymore. God wasn’t answering my prayers. My life was being tested to the extreme. I had no time to myself and felt that everybody wanted a piece of me. I couldn’t answer the phone without somebody either wanting money or wanting a favour.
Work had screwed up my wages, again, and I was really struggling financially. I started getting tired all of the time and eventually went to see a doctor. I had loads of blood tests taken – the results were surprising: I was perfect in every vitamin, mineral and element I was tested for, but my cholesterol was a little high! The doctor suggested I go on a low-cholesterol diet! I told | him that I have been a vegan for nearly 18 years, so didn’t consume any additional cholesterol anyway!
I was eventually diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (basically I’d been doing too much, not sleeping, too much stress, and I just couldn’t cope anymore) and told to take time off work (apparently extreme stress and exhaustion can cause your body to manufacture more cholesterol). I was really stressed, fed-up, and literally at my wits end, digging | [

Our little white car, expertly navigating the narrow mountainous roads, comes to a sudden halt. “These are the new cowboys of Costa Rica,” Alex tells me. Two men on bicycles herd a large group of cattle across the road. We had left the small lively beach town of Coco Beach to head into the mountains in search of coffee. On this side of Costa Rica — the Pacific side — the air is dry and hot. The terrain seems burnt by the sun, unlike the “other side,” where the Caribbean climate produces lush green rain forests and mucho rain year round. Alex, an expert in all things Costa Rica and our guide for the day, accelerated up the mountain furiously. Two hours and a little motion sickness later, we arrive at Matambu coffee plantation in the town of Hojancha.
Costa Rican coffee is produced in smaller co-ops like this, rather than by large companies, ensuring better conditions for farmers. Hojancha is a small town nestled in the mountains. The small, local co-op of Cafe Diria employs nearly 200 associates from the area. The region of Guanacaste — a sparsely populated region | along the Pacific coast — produces unique coffee unlike most other Costa Rican beans. Known for its fruity and acidic finish, Costa Rican coffee is renowned as some of the best in the world; so much so, that Starbucks imports most of their coffee from the country. But Guanacaste, with its distinct dry and rainy seasons, grows coffee a little less acidic and a bit more balanced — a beautiful, easy cup to enjoy.
Upon arrival, we meet Byron, a man of small stature and a bright smile; he is to lead us around the vast, colorful equipment. Once a coffee picker, he lasted | [

You don't have to sell them on reasons to re-elect a moderate Democrat whose political life began in 1958, back when Elvis put on Army fatigues and Krushchev was the Soviets' new premier.
They are the ordinary people who have made Gov. Lawton Chiles almost as much of a Florida fixture as orange juice.
"He's got in the thick of people and their problems and tried to solve them," says Arnold Grant of Lauderhill, a high school math teacher who gave $10 to Chiles' re-election campaign. "In my opinion, he seems to be a common person.... He's for real."
Without fans like Grant, Chiles wouldn't have a chance of withstanding the wave of Republicanism that has been overtaking the state. In presidential races since 1980, in the 1986 gubernatorial race and in the 1988 U.S. Senate race, most Floridians went with the GOP.
Chiles' people say they find something solid and believable in a politician who still declines donations above $100 - an anachronism that may verge on folly in this time of big-budget campaigning.
They like Chiles | ' brand of slow but steady activism. Plainly put, they don't seem to want a revolution.
"I really think he's doing a decent job for the state of Florida. I'm just so optimistic. I'm really happy to be here," says Dorothy Croft, 70, a retiree and grandmother from Orlando.
Croft, who lives in a neighborhood of modest homes and supports herself and her dying husband on a small regular income, has sent two $10 checks to Chiles' campaign. She's going to mail one more.

(May the Lord preserve and keep him alive)
A blessing has been sent - Be Strong and Courageous!
We have not forgotten your sacrifices, your integrity, the strength of your spirit,
your correctness in offering up soul and body
for the sake of the Land of Israel, Torath Yisrael, and the Jewish People,
in every place at all times and in every hour.
We stand by your side during the uneasy times

and at times our silence speaks.

Sales is a practice that requires lost of training, motivation to succeed and most important, time and experience.
Some people born with the gift to sale "ice to Eskimos" and some need a bit more practice. Usually the best drive to improve comes from the "hunger" for money. When you work on commission it means: "the more you sale, the more you earn", simple as that.

King Louis II granted the town and château of Bohumín to George, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach in 1523. The town began to develop during rule by the House of Hohenzollern, although further development of Bogumin was halted by frequent epidemics of bubonic plague and floodings of the Olza. It was officially known in German as Oderberg, and by the end of the 16th century the majority of citizens followed Protestantism. The successor after the Hohenzollerns in 1620 was Lazar Henckel, whose family of bankers and entrepreneurs hailed from Habsburg-ruled Hungary. In 1624 only 138 permanent residents lived in the town. After defeating Maria Theresa of Austria during the Silesian Wars, King Frederick II of Pr | ussia annexed most of Silesia, although Oderberg remained in Austrian Silesia.

NFL owners batted 1.000 in lling head coaching positions: eight openings, eight white guys hired. Including the seven recent general manager vacancies, minorities were shut out from all 15 of the league’s top available jobs during this hiring cycle. That’s the type of perfection the Rooney Rule was supposed to end. Seems like it’s time for new rules.
The Fritz Pollard Alliance has some good ideas. The group oversees compliance with the NFL rule that mandates that at least one minority candidate be interviewed for each head coach and general manager vacancy, and it’s proposing expanding the rule to include coordinators, assistant head coaches and club presidents. The intent is to increase the pool of minority candidates for the highest-ranking posts in football operations, and break | through a barrier on the business side of the sport (no NFL team has had a minority president).

Jon Brelig has been at a ski resort on a socalled “powder day,” unable to find the four inches of freshies that supposedly fell in the previous 24 hours.
“I’ve definitely been skiing where I did not believe the reported conditions,” said Brelig, a Fort Collins, Colo., native who lives in San Francisco. “I’ve been probably a little duped by exaggerated reports in the past.”
So he found a way to keep snow reporters honest.
In 2003 Brelig and his brother started the website skireport.com, a clearinghouse of snow reports from resorts around the country. But it wasn’t until early 2008 when the site expanded to allow skiers to post their own reports directly from the mountain that the site really took off.
Today the site gets 1,500 first-hand reports a day, and larger Colorado resorts, where cell phone coverage is good, may have dozens of updates on any given day.
It’s an example of how social media is changing the skiing experience. Once skiers were dependent on resorts for the snow conditions, as measured by ski patrollers before dawn and then posted online and repeated by TV and radio stations. Today, skiers can | get the lowdown on the snow, traffic and lift lines on their way to the slopes or in the gondola.
“Clearly, I hope we’re able to leverage social media and the community to overall bring more accurate reports to everyone,” Brelig said.
Resort snow reports have long been the subject of grumbling over aprés-ski beers or on the ride home, but a study released last summer by two Dartmouth College professors suggested deception is widespread across the ski industry.

In the final installation of this week’s theme (dare we say this week’s blog’s swan song?) in celebration of Abbeville Press’ reissue of the stunning Baby Elephant Folio edition of Audubon’s Birds of America, we’re taking a closer look at the Trumpeter Swan. The swan has a long history in literature, with roots going back to Greek mythology, where we find the story of Leda and the Swan, in which Zeus takes on his notorious guise as swan to seduce (or, depending on who’s telling the story, to rape) the young nymph Leda. This subject has been recounted often (and by often, we mean basically ad infinitum) in art—in paintings, sculpture, music, dance, and in poetry—and one of the most notable versions is W.B. Yeats’ poem, “Leda and the Swan.” In Yeats’ version of the tale, he foresees the tragic consequences of the scene, and we witness the fall of Troy:
A shudder in the loins engenders there
The broken | wall, the burning roof and tower
And Agamemnon dead.
