@CUDenver What makes it safe to be on campus for the next two weeks if we are eventually going to go online? What if the university develops a case in the next two weeks?

[Ryan Maye Handy @ryanmhandy]

@CUDenver I am MURP graduate student. With universities going to online around the country, can you tell us what it will take for CU to do that? What will the triggers be?

[Ryan Maye Handy @ryanmhandy]

@CUDenver I’m a grad student in the MURP program and I want to know what it will take for the university to go to online classes. As other schools around the country do it, what triggers is CU looking for?

@jacymarmaduke thanks!

hey @jacymarmaduke: how can I figure out if I am one of the homeowners whose protest resulted in my assessment being adjusted? https://t.co/CkAW8KZKG3

@StuVanAirsdale For reasons that remain a mystery to me, none of the four papers I have worked for turned these digital efforts into a successful, money-making business

[Ryan Maye Handy @ryanmhandy]

@StuVanAirsdale Gannett is a good example. Setting aside its corporate reputation, all Gannett papers were put on an aggressive digital program that followed all of those initiatives you mention. Years later the company is still gutting newsrooms like clockwork.

[Ryan Maye Handy @ryanmhandy]

@StuVanAirsdale I have worked for papers large and small (20,000 circ to 500,000) that have invested in these digital initiatives. I’ve worked for Gannett, which has been very aggressive about audience engagement. None of these digital efforts are the panacea you seem to be suggesting.

@GardenPunchList Hopefully that’s a better arrangement? Thanks for advice!

@GardenPunchList : I planted my vegetable garden over the weekend and it snowed 2 in last night in Fort Collins. Should I dig plants up and move inside until it warms up?

[Ryan Maye Handy @ryanmhandy]

@GardenPunchList I covered each plant in a garbage bag and then put tarps over each bed last night. They look like they are ok, if a bit cold this a.m. After reading your blog (the no-plastic-on-leaves bit) I covered each in a cardboard or plastic box and then put plastic bags on top of boxes.

Snowmelt triggers a 10-foot deep mudslide northeast of Durango, shutting down a county road and filling a ditch with flowing mud. https://t.co/4LeVVQYuyn via @DurangoHerald

Scariest part of this article comes near the end: "Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have said it is highly likely New Mexico will lose the vast majority of its forests by 2050." https://t.co/5UM2WNNDL2 via @thenewmexican

Northbound lanes of I25 at Thornton are covered with teddy bears. Not exactly hazardous — but they are slowing down traffic. Weirdest 911 I’ve ever made.

Decline of oil and gas tax revenue has hurt La Plata County’s budget. And no where is that more evident than on the county’s roads. https://t.co/5ccN0CPcf5 via @DurangoHerald
