Here's an idea: lower the cost of coming downtown on the bus. Or expand ecopass so people outside the system can buy in as individuals. Sigh.

It's crazy that this college town, whose population averages 28 in age, can't support a venue for modern music! As real estate prices rise, it becomes less and less likely that there will be such a place in the future. In NYC (where I spent many years as a musician), mid-sized venues were pushed to Brooklyn as rents rose in downtown Manhattan. And I suspect that if Boulder is to have a music scene, it will have to be in Longmont, or Gunbarrel, where there may be lower rents and less persnickety neighbors. I was sad to see Astroland go, but I knew it couldn't last... :-( [one last note: KVCU is better for local music of this sort than KGNU].

Nope, not here in Powderhorn. I slept in my living room so I would hear them knock, and no one showed up. Very disappointing; I wonder how many people they actually had working last night.

If you start looking into the Medical Device industry that's going to be taxed 'right out of the country' , you'll find this!:

So I'm not going to cry any tears for this profitable group. If I had any suspicion of future 'outsourcing', it would be of American patients outsourcing their medical care abroad... in which case, these domestic industries will stand to lose more money than via this tax, no?

(Not that I think the Republican really buy this 'job-creator' nonsense, just playing along)

Awesome digging, RancherSam! You should on salary for the Camera... I'll add this, which explains the Delaware registrations: &lt ;http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/01/business/how-delaware-thrives-as-a-corporate-tax-haven.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0>
Even though this isn't directly related to the fracking case, it's more interesting to me (from a political standpoint) than the latest Weiner scandal.

Thanks for fixing! Now just add an 'n' to turn 'planed' into 'planned', and I'll take it all back...
:-D

Okay, I know this is a story the DC wanted to post quickly, but where was the editor?
"After stopping, Shank reportedly out of his vehicle with Bushmaster AR-15 with optics and advanced on the officer while firing, Satur said." ......... verb, please?
And what is a 'manshot'?
On a side note, "Diagonal construction is poorly planed".... WTF? Has it really gotten to the point where even professional writers can't spell or construct sentences?

I'm sorry to hear this; I love contemporary opera, and was planning to go. If people took the same attitude toward film that they take toward opera, we'd all be watching 'Citizen Kane' and 'Gone With The Wind' over and over. You can get a single opera ticket for the price of two movie tickets; it's not that inaccessible!

older fathers as well as older mothers: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/09/health/09autism...
According to Wash Post, "When fathers are in their thirties, children have about 1 1/2 times the risk of developing autism of children of fathers in their teens and twenties. Compared with the offspring of the youngest fathers, children of fathers in their forties have more than five times the risk of developing autism, and children of fathers in their fifties have more than nine times the risk."

I'm curious about the house ... are they renting it as a 2 bedroom, or a 4 bedroom? Hmmmm...
And, "the city told the Rubins they would need to repair every item found by the buyer's inspector, which the Rubins couldn't afford" (???)... so, did they fix this stuff before they rented it out, or are they just renting it out 'as-is'? Hmmmm....
