  1. People displaced from jobs in publishing, music, journalism, urban planning, transportation systems, soccer coaching, and other former specialties have launched Far Flung Territories Wiki-Medicos, a free, volunteer service that dispatches amateur experts to deliver a wide range of health issues via the Internet and in informal medical clinics set up in the back of SUVs that have run out of fuel. Initially, open heart surgery and brain surgery will are being offered, with plans to expand shortly into psychotherapy, where the need is judged greatest, according to sponsors of the new service. Service recruiters are now signing up volunteers in the produce departments of King Soopers and Safeway stores on the Front Range. High school dropouts are especially encouraged to enlist.

    1. Odd thing is, if you replace the word “health” or “health services” with “security” or “security services” in the above, and the types of “surgery” with types of guns, don’t you essentially end up with HB 1180?  If it sounds ridiculous one way ’round, it’s probably ridiculous every way ’round.

    1. I was typing a note to my son about the Nuggets and I’m not a great typer. With R next to T and M next to N on the keyboard I typed Muggers! It fit, to an acceptable degree, in the Mavs series. I enjoy a well fought battle on the court as long as no one gets hurt and everyone shows some class and professionalism. I am one who hates seeing serious injury in a game.

      I marveled at Nowitzki’s shooting touch. Kobe is close, but not as good a shooter IMO.

       * 342 Boulder Valley teachers stage ‘sickout’

    A total of 269 teachers were absent from schools today in the Boulder Valley School District, apparently protesting the collapse of talks over the teaching contract for next year.

    It was the third straight day of sudden teacher absences in the district northwest of Denver. On Monday, 342 teachers called in sick. On Friday, 84 teachers at Broomfield High failed to show up.

    Teachers outside of Douglass Elementary School picketed as kids were being dropped off this morning.

    The schools where the absences occurred today were Monarch and Aspen Creek K-8s; Broomfield Heights and Angevine middle schools; and Birch, Emerald, Kohl and Whittier International elementaries.

    The district has offered its 2,000 teachers a 1 percent stipend raise over the 2009-10 school year. But the raise would not be applied to their base pay, meaning it would not be added into teachers’ permanent pay, according to Briggs Gamblin, district spokesman.

    Teachers are asking for a 3 percent cost of living increase built into the permanent base-pay structure.

    I thought Boulder was rolling in cash, progressive policies and was using the planned government economic model that will deliver everything to all people without pain.

  3. …and will probably get his bail hearing on the traffic warrant.

    If he bails out and manages to walk away from jail, he’ll be living his own personal version of “The Running Man” in Colorado Springs.

    I hope that he decides to pick up his cell phone, call the US Attorney, and take whatever deal they offer him…
