SandBoxBlogs: Donklephant "Let’s play “Clue” – Was it Mr. Corzine in the Board Room with the “Smoking Gun” E-mail?"
'mw':
"As we have chronicled from the first week that MF Global declared bankruptcy, the mystery of the missing “sacrosanct” segregated client funds was not something that could be explained away with run-of-the-mill corporate incompetence and executive malfeasance. If investors cannot trust the custodian of their brokerage funds, the system cannot work...." (Read more? Click title)

SandBoxBlogs: SkyHiDaily "Grand Lake Iron Dogs enjoy Alaskan adventure"
Kristen Lodge:
"January weather hit a low of 40 below in Alaska, then a warm spell hit when they arrived. Minus 10 was the lowest temperature the team encountered, he said.
“The weather was similar to Grand County, but there were no storms or wind. We were as lucky as we could get so we enjoyed it more.”
After the first day riding 80 miles they were exhausted.
“It could've been much worse if we didn't have the training. Until you actually do it, words can't prepare for how hard it was,” said Tarr.
Team members Tarr, Bruce Knight, Kevin Cox and Cory Ziegle — all from Grand Lake — started the race, but after mechanical problems only Tarr and Knight made it to Nome and the finish line.
On day one Tarr dropped into an 8-foot creek. It took 45 minutes to get out. After an 8-hour riding day they got stuck twice. On day two, near the Happy River, it felt like they were on Mars, Tarr said. This is where Kevin Cox earned his nick-name — MacGyver — when he wired back his machine. The failure on Cox and Ziegle's snowmobiles was due to a bolt sheared off from damaged rails. On day three they needed to make it to the next stop that had an airport to fly the machines out...."

SandBoxBlogs: Aspen Daily News "Phil Sullivan joins Nation of Islam during jail stint"
'by Alex Highly, Aspen Daily News Staff Writer':
"Following in the footsteps of crusaders like Malcolm X and badasses like Mike Tyson, Aspen’s rogue cabbie Phil Sullivan has converted to the Nation of Islam while imprisoned yet again in the Pitkin County Jail.
Sullivan, 76, having served his third 15-day term for giving people free rides in his cab that aren’t actually free, said he was tired of the oppression of his people.
Minister Louis Farrakhan visited Sullivan in jail, and praised him as a “freedom fighter who has birthed new meaning for the word ‘free.’” Farrakhan reported the beleaguered taxi driver is in good spirits despite The Man continuing to try to keep him down.
“La ilah illa Allah, Muhammad rasoolu Allah,” Sullivan said in a jailhouse interview over a shrimp cocktail and just before inmate massage time at Aspen’s soul-destroying gulag..."

SandBoxBlogs: Aspen Daily News "Aspen dropped by U.S. Chamber of Commerce"
"The U.S. Chamber of Commerce broke ties with Aspen this week, citing the ski town’s excessive knee-jerk liberalism and sanctimonious lecturing about climate change hoo-hah.
“Our affiliation with these crunchy beatniks is not in line with our values as a lobbying arm for multi-national corporations who need to rape and pillage Earth in the name of capitalism,” said U.S. Chamber President Tom Donahue.
To determine what it should do about Aspen, the U.S. Chamber polled the 16 anonymous donors who give it $500 zillion annually for the purpose of lobbying against climate science....."
