Yes. Great job, and in weather that was unbelievably cold and wet. I came away from this tournament with a new appreciation for women's intercollegiate golf.
Incredible 9news had NOTHING about this last night or this morning. Don't know about the other channels.

I have read your rants, uh comments, for awhile now, and just tend to ignore them. To set part of the record straight. I know many of today's graduates. Many of them work more than 30 hours/week to live and pay for for their education. Many have taken out loans to get an education so they can be employed and contribute to the economy.
My daughter and son-in-law graduated srom CU and their MIDDLE class families are proud of the.
Oh, and what is wrong with driving a Lexus? You can afford it? Then do it.

4% of funding from the State is the current contribution to operating expenses. And that amount was higher in past years/decades.
More to the point construction dollars come from different appropriations, and in fact in the past have paid for substantial amounts of construction costs.

Still waiting to hear when any charges will be filed against the three former members of the team regarding their role in the assaults.
Is this getting swept under the bed?

When I saw the first page of the DC this morning, I knew I had to get on line to read all of the comments.
I recently retired as a PERA employee. I never made anywhere near what is being reported in this article. My years in PERA were 13 and so my retirement salary is nowhere near 50%. Also I waited until I was after 70 to retire! I did not receive an increase in pay in the last four years I was employed. That said, I am aware of the 110 days or the recently 140 days bring them back. My understanding of how this works (or should work) is that the retired employee if hired to do their previous job is paid their old daily rate, regardless of how many hours they work. When calculating 'days worked', if one works four or more hours, that is considered a day. Otherwise one counts hours worked, with 720 hours as a limit in a calendar year. And the pay would be the old hourly rate. I am not saying paying this hourly rate is the way to go, since the institution is not getting what they got from the employee when he/she was full time.
However, now retired I wanted to continue teaching part time. My hourly pay for teaching is ridiculously low, but that's fine with me. I took the job because I love to teach and have the time to do it. But, I am having PERA deducted from y pay, that I won't see again. Again, I agreed to this so I have no complaint, My complaint concerns those employees who artificially inflated their salaries at the end of their work life to benefit from the highest 4 year average.
It was common practice several years ago for employees to 'buy years of employment'. I know of several who took out loans or second mortgages to pay for the years and then after retiring took advantage of the 110 days option to pay off those loans.
Several bloggers are correct. These options of working 110 or 140 days never are offered to lower paid employees. It seems as if the policy makers always benefit themselves, and do manage to keep it quiet. BTW, CU is not the only institution that has this practice. There are other institutions where this occurs in school districts and community colleges.

If that was an attempt at humor, don't give up your day job. Walmart needs all the greeters they can find.

As Inertgas stated. I was cycling probably on that ame path about a month ago and passed a coyote near the trail and there were a couple of onlookers. An hour later on my return, the coyote was stIll there but at least 20 people standing looking at it and no attempts to scare it away.
On a bike ride on coal creek trail about two months ago, came across three coyotes near the trail. Two were young and ran away when they saw me. However, "mom" was lurking in the brush and just stayed there about 25 yards from the trail probably waiting for some unexpected dog off leash.
I live in NW Lafayette. Last week as I pulled into our complex' parking lot, one was walking through the parking lot. Sunday there was one in the parking lot near 95th and South Boulder road.
That makes 5 sightings this year in daylight.

We had no automatic step system. It was a merit based pay. But there never was money for 'pay for performance'. I did not receive an increase in my salary the last five years I worked. In fact, a previous boss would not give any of the cabinet level staff a high merit rating. The rationale was that we already are the highest paid individuals and should not receive the same percent raise. I had to agree with that thinking, if not for anything more than the morale of the rest of the staff and faculty. I had no opportunity for any extra pay. I was an exempt employee which meant, just do the work!

Ignorance. You not only put your child at risk but those that may come in contact with them.
