#Boulder Armed Car Jacking On April 21, 2015, at approximately 4:45 PM, Boulder P.D. officers were called to a reported armed carjacking that occurred in a parking lot just north of Canyon Blvd., east of 21st Street. The 19 y/o victim advised that two white males and two black males lured him into their vehicle. During this time, one of the black males began rifling through the victim’s car. When the victim attempted to get out of the suspects’ car, three of the suspects brandished semi-automatic handguns. The suspects used plastic ties to bind the victim’s hands. The victim was able to escape from the vehicle, and ran west on Canyon. He returned several minutes later to find his vehicle was stolen. The victim sustained minor injuries.

Sips from the Fire Hose: Distilled #CWA2015
Apr 10th
My 2015 CWA attendance draws to a close–and before hearing reflections of 30 high school students tomorrow in Socratic Seminar, these are several of my first “sips,” distilled from reflecting on a number of panelists’ views. Over the next several days I’ll share others.
•Every voice is crucial. The eye cannot say to the foot, “I don’t need you.” Yay for having Robert Kaufman and Jim Smith and Valerie Wilson speak together…rich paradox, not comfortable, but Essential.
•”Friend your mom before you apply for jobs–she’ll clean up your page.” (John Smith) •Learn a language, get a passport, travel-it builds cultural intelligence and common sense. (Whole panel.) •If you want entrepreneurial funding, go West. Eastern establishment is a much harder sell. (Andrew Safir.) •Having your résumé sent via personal connection gets you much farther in the paper pile sorting.
•Understand what matters to organization to which you apply–ask them why they do what they do & see how your expertise can help.
•Synthesize vs. summarize with information.
•Whatever the work, “Own the outcome.” I am responsible. If things don’t turn out how I’d hoped, what can I learn? How can I do things differently? (Nina Richardson, former GoPro COO) (Kick-Ass Career Advice) 🙂
•We won’t know for at least six months after a nuclear agreement with Iran the nature of Iran’s intentions–we must look at follow-up behaviors, but musn’t we start somewhere?” (Jim Smith + Valerie Plame Wilson) •Can we afford to use force without understanding the I intended consequences of that use of force? (Jim Smith) •What are the stakes if Iran destabilizes the region further? Can we afford to believe that President Ruhani is sincere? The price tag is huge. (Robert Kaufman paraphrased) • Military service in U.S. Should be compulsory so that the public knows what it’s like to serve, be in harm’s way, what it takes to honor and heal our returning soldiers. (FYI: Thailand requires compulsory military service and at least one day’s service as a monk if all of it’s young men.) •Why can’t we have sacred circles of healing for our returning warriors? (Why is there such a dichotomy between being “mission ready” and acknowledging fear? Doesn’t this create a culture deeply resistant to healing? Isn’t it more psychologically whole to encourage embracing the real–me) Media must show the whole truth and not just sanitized version. Media has responsibility to tell the truth, so that public knows and supports those it sends/we send to harm’s way. We are responsible as a society.

Sipping from the Fire Hose #CWA2015
Apr 10th
When South Boulder Creek jumped its banks last year there were just too many acre feet of rain to stay put. That’s how my brain feels after the deluge of:
The Globalization of Terror
In a Single Garment of Destiny
Gays Saved Marriage
Song making
Kick Ass Career Advice
Science Ethics: Means & Ends
Tuesday’s Jazz Concert
Negotiating Nukes with Iran
Lessons Not Learned in School
Performance: Art & Social Change
Wrangling with essential, complex questions, feelings, and conflicts about U.S. & international political issues, I am deeply grateful to end each conference day with the solace of cultivated beauty shared. Thank you, panelists, ALL, for your courage and willingness to come, to speak, to listen, to dare to live and give in ways that are uniquely yours. We need all the voices, all the knowledge and all the distilled wisdom. May we have the courage to sip and hydrate from the fire hose, not very comfortable….
