".....Thompson might have been fine at his job, with or without the alleged degree. Computer science is a respected pedigree at a shop like Yahoo. The company’s challenger had more evidence about the company’s CEO than the company was willing to admit (see: denial). It was now all about credibility. By May 13, Thompson was gone, and the dissident had won three seats of the dozen on the Yahoo board.
The dissenter had broken a sweat. He did a little research that escaped Yahoo. The CEO had never bothered to ask himself what might happen if some outsider poked at the blemish on his resume. Thompson appeared to be caught up in the terminal stages of denial. Whatever the origins of the Stonehill computer science degree, he’d made a bet when he thought he wouldn’t get caught.
There are denials and then denials. When Congressman Anthony Weiner tried to defer responsibility for some salacious photo tweets, we knowingly laughed. Such is life in Congress these days that it didn’t hit home. Congress, we reasoned, is full of jokers who don’t really get anything done. Certainly no degree is required.
The voters would certainly vote Wiener out — not so much because he’d tried some freshman boasts of his sexuality, but because he’d lied about it. So he quit. But that doesn’t always hold true. When Louisiana Sen. David Vitter was discovered on the client list of a Washington madam in 2007, he found some sympathy. Fun seeking in the Bayou caused few constituents to hit the panic button, and Vitter won re-election three years later. But then, he’d never lied about it. His bet that he wouldn’t get caught held no fatal consequences.
We are in a modern world where executives and politicians rest their livelihoods on a bet about whether they’ll get caught. Often they have a grace period, in which they can beg, repent, and gain redemption. We are big on forgiveness — for about a week.
But when a bet gone wrong plunges the bettor into denial, we have instead sunk into the land of truth of and its many unforeseen consequences....." (Read more? Click title)

SandBoxBlogs: Glenwood Springs Post Independent "Faux-raging for a story"
Kathleen Parker:
"....The leaking of the document and the prominent display of the story have been a boon to Obama. They provided yet another welcome distraction, as well as a helpful fundraising tool, and smeared Romney by association.
The power (and hubris) of individual political donors and their offspring — the ads they want to sire — may become the tragedy of this election season. Romney is nothing like a racist, yet suddenly he is forced to distance himself from ads about which he knew nothing. And we now can agree that resurrecting Wright for any purpose would do more political harm than good.
Ricketts apparently would agree. He has distanced himself from the proposal faster than Obama distanced himself from Wright. And poor Mitt Romney had to repudiate an ad campaign that never was, that probably never would have been, and over which he had zero control.
And thus ends another faux controversy about non-ads in the very strange universe known as American Politics...." (Read more? Click title)

SandBoxBlogs: Aspen Times "Immigration laws are there for a reason"
Kathy Buettner:
"I write in response to a May 11 Glenwood Springs Post Independent article, “Basalt woman fights on two fronts to stay in U.S.”
Might I remind legal U.S. citizens as well as the millions of illegal immigrants in this county that Norma Galindo Gonzales lived in this country for 14 years illegally before she “borrowed” someone else's identification to obtain a state ID card.
Call it what you want to relieve your guilty conscience, but I call it “stealing.” She stole from our government and U.S. citizens the privilege of living in this country all those years — and since then as well.
I have been unemployed for a year now and have been diligently seeking work and am tired of reading help-wanted ads in the papers that prefer bilingual applicants and even go so far as to offer a $5,000 bonus for such applicants. Many of these people are getting the jobs I am qualified for and have ample experience doing.
On a recent visit to the closing-day sale at Kmart in Glenwood Springs, a saleswoman could not speak English and completely ignored my attempt to ask her for assistance as she waited on Spanish-speaking individuals instead. There is no excuse for this. This is America, folks. If I were applying for a job in Mexico, I would be more than happy to learn to read and write Spanish.
My grandfather came here from Italy as a very young man in the early 1900s. He went to school to learn the English language and went through the legal process of becoming a U.S. citizen....."

SandBoxBlogs: Glenwood Springs Post Independent "Immigrant cares about legal vs. illegal immigration"
Anyone who has followed the citizen/Sheriff relationship between Bruno Kirchenwitz and Garfield County Sheriff Lou Vallario will instantly recognize the major significance of this support Bruno is showing for the top badge in the county.
It takes courage and stamina to keep standing up and/or getting back up when you know you must. Kudos to you, Bruno.
"SandBox Nanny" is fairly certain Bruno's letter is being widely read in our area law enforcement community and that his support is appreciated.
Thank you to all of our law enforcement officers, deputies, agents, Chiefs and Sheriff's who uphold our immigration laws. You are appreciated.
Bruno Kirchenwitz:
"The letters from Debbie Centeno (May 8) and Janett Centeno (May 9) so annoyed me I couldn't respond fast enough. First of all, when I call some deserving soul a liar, the Post Independent's civility police won't print it due to libel concerns. It's funny how often civility editing can be seen as bias against conservative viewpoints.
Janett Centeno is typical of the progressive “citizenship is just a piece of paper” crowd. She writes, “People could really care less whether a person is here legally.” Wrong, wrong, wrong.
She also says her illegal alien brother of multiple previous deportations “may not be a perfect citizen, but I know plenty of other wannabe gangsters who aren't being harassed.” Not only is Ms. Centeno's brother David Centeno not perfect, he isn't a citizen, ergo he is deservingly being deported.
I do care if people are here legally. I am a legal immigrant and naturalized citizen whose family followed the rules. We learned English, no bilingual education for us. No welfare, no food stamps, no free health care, no subsidized housing.
Legal immigration is what made this country great. Illegal aliens will rot our quality of life and turn America into the kind of Third World country Mr. Centeno ran away from.
I am overjoyed that Mr. Centeno was justly apprehended by our valiant sheriff and would love to see each and every illegal alien in America deported back to where they came from. Keep up the good work, Sheriff Lou Vallario....." (Read the original letter? Click title)

"Among the issues is when the interview was turned over by Aspen police to the district attorney’s office, and when the prosecutor’s office either gave a copy of the interview to Fang or alerted her to its existence.
The Aguilera-Pimentel case involved an “abuse of discretion” by the district attorney’s office, Fang said, adding that she feels the court of appeals is unlikely to overturn Nichols’ sanctions.
Nichols, in issuing those sanctions, cited five cases involving pretrial violations, and Fang said that determination of a pattern of missteps has continued with Robinson’s case. Nichols should not “back step” from her previous ruling against prosecutors because, in the current case, “the identical violations could not be more striking,” Fang said.
Fang argued that sanctions should rise again to the point of suppressing key evidence — in this case the interview between Robinson and MacAyeal and photos that allegedly show injuries the defendant received during his arrest — because they were provided too late.
Both pieces of evidence are exculpatory, or statements that are favorable to Robinson, who apparently told MacAyeal that he initially thought he was being “jumped” and, afterward, that he thought he was being arrested for resisting arrest, and not for the bomb-threat allegation. Police photos of the injuries that allegedly were not turned over in a timely matter back up Robinson’s story, Fang argued in the motion to dismiss, which ought to lead to outright dismissal of the case, she said.
Mordkin, however, said Nichols should not enforce sanctions that end up again in a dismissal. Prosecutors in the 9th Judicial District have made it their practice to turn over to defense attorneys what is required, he said......" (Read more? Click title)

“You have to be proposed as a candidate,” he said.
The DEA occasionally taps TRIDENT members to assist in investigations, though local police are not actually employed by the federal agency, Wilson said.
Wilson declined to say whether Pedersen resigned of his own volition or was forced to quit after the traffic stop. Wilson said he doesn’t discuss personnel matters
Martin Beeson, district attorney of the 9th Judicial District, said in April that he is aware of Pedersen’s role in the drug busts and the statements he made in the hearing. But Beeson insisted that his refusal to release the entire sheriff’s office report about the former Glenwood cop’s traffic stop is not special treatment.
“We don’t want witnesses to be tainted by anything they might read in the newspapers,” he said last month.
“More importantly, with potential jurors our release of factual, evidentiary things about cases always runs the risk that an accused will not get his constitutional right to a fair trial.”
The Aspen Police Department and the Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office routinely release arrest reports about DUIs and other crimes in their entirety. But Beeson said it is the policy of the 9th Judicial District “to not release anything to the public” about pending cases.

Under the agreement, Lauren Redfern, 26, pleaded guilty to one count of Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor. Two counts of Sexual Assault on a Minor by a Person in a Position of Trust were dropped.
The charges comes after she and the 18-year-old student were allegedly caught having sex in her office bathroom at the school in February. According to the Aspen Time, both Redfern and the victim told authorities they had sex when he was 17, as well.

SandBoxBlogs: Aspen Daily News " Mining and Hope"
Andrew Travers:
"The countless dormant mines in and around the Roaring Fork Valley offer a peculiar mix of danger and opportunity for forest officials.
Take the Hope Mine, for instance, where threats to public safety and water quality have led to innovation in reclamation strategy.
The silver mine in the Castle Creek Valley was founded in 1911 and never turned a profit before it was abandoned, though more than 158 tons of silver ore was extracted from it.
A century later, however, waste left behind by miners has proved to be fertile ground for reclamation officials. Since 2010, foresters have used biochar to successfully re-vegetate the riverside slope of mine waste, restoring soil ravaged by silver tailings. It was the first project of its kind in the world. Biochar is a charcoal-like substance made from heated biomass, which can be applied to increase soil fertility.
Forest Service soil scientist Brian McMullen said that the once-barren, dry soil below the mine has a significantly higher moisture content on some of the treatment areas compared to what’s on untreated parts of the slope.
The waste pile below the mine has formed a steep three-story-high embankment above Castle Creek, just upstream from the city of Aspen’s water treatment plant. Observers have long been concerned that the pile may slide into the river. If it did, it would add so much sediment to the creek that it could ruin Aspen’s public water supply from the creek for years, officials said.
“It’s been a pretty amazing success,” said Scott Snelson, district ranger for the White River National Forest, regarding the biochar treatment. “It reduces the risk of a slide so much.” ....." (Read more? Click title)

Gary Harmon:
"Proposed as a way to make the most of a federally recognized treasure, the potential upgrade of Colorado National Monument to a national park is morphing into a new form: a tool to keep the federal government at bay.
And make a few bucks at the same time.
“There’s no question a park has more branding value than a monument,” Owen O’Fallon, chairman of the Colorado Canyons Association, said of the value of park designation.
Legislation, however, must be couched with protections against the “many fears” of federal government that were revealed in the committee’s online survey and four open houses, O’Fallon said. Committee members have largely ruled out fears that a park could threaten state control of the Colorado River, or that a change would invite greater federal control of air quality and lighting on the Grand Valley floor....."
