While 97% of climate scientists are convinced that human-caused global warming is happening,
there is no such consensus among the American public. On average, only 48% of Americans think
that global warming is mostly human-caused.

Imagine my delight when, walking my neighborhood in Santa Cruz, CA, I realized a major success
story is blooming right under my nose: there are kitchen gardens and mini-farms everywhere these
days!

While simple tools such as spreadsheets may have been enough to get your business rolling in the
beginning, it fails in manipulating information that allows small businesses to see the "big picture."
Implementing a proper BI tool can help small businesses analyze high volumes of data across
multiple sources, and more easily identify how they're all connected.

Last year, then U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner had a nice-sounding proposal: offer birth
control over the counter, easy and quick. But as journalists pointed out, Gardner's plan would be
more expensive for women.

Via Twitter, I asked Coffman's spokesman Sandberg to write a blog post explaining how his boss has
pushed Boehner for serious immigration reform -- and better yet, to show us how it's done. There's
no public record of the kind of effort we've seen from Coffman on other issues. Nothing close.
Google it.

I've been doing a bunch of research recently on Browns Canyon National Monument, which many of
you may not realize is now a thing. It's over on the other side of Independence Pass from Aspen, on
the far side of the Arkansas River between Buena Vista and Salida, roughly.
