LAWMAKERS SEEK REMEDIES ON SEX CRIMES

Police: It’ll aid in gun issues Quick access will help determine if a driver can legally have a firearm. By Jennifer Brown The Denver Post

Law officers who pull over a speeding car can find out through a few quick keystrokes or one phone call whether the driver has insurance or an arrest warrant. What they can’t determine nearly as quickly is whether the driver is allowed to have the gun they find lying on the front seat or find later in the glove box. A database listing felons — who by law are not allowed to have guns — would give authorities a shortcut to that information. The proposal is bubbling up from some in law enforcement in Colorado, who say access to such a database could do more to catch bad guys with guns than the gun legislation up for debate at the state Capitol. “Give us some enforcement of the law that is already there,” Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith said. “It makes a lot more sense than trying to track lawabiding people and their gun permits.” Law officers don’t routinely seek an

n a nondescript industrial park, on a dead-end road, tucked in an obscure corner of Denver, a group of “ethical hackers” made a startling discovery. Electronic data, stored by the defenseand-security branch of the Douglas Countybased information company IHS, had been breached. An Iranian hacker group had downloaded 16 terabytes of information about U.S. chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear materials. IHS confirmed that its system had been compromised, but company spokesman Ed Mattix insists that all of the downloaded information was already available publicly in other places. While this breach was apparently not harmful, the incident highlights a growing concern among government and corporate leaders as sensitive data increasingly go online and become the target of cyber-espionage. As the threat of cyber-attacks — from perpetrators ranging from domestic hackers to international rivals — has become more widely understood, government leaders are beginning to make an effort to facilitate the exchange of information and best practices to help companies better protect themselves against such attacks.

juneau, alaska» Two years ago, the yellow buoy was hanging as part of a restaurant sign in the coastal community of Minamisanriku in northern Japan when an earthquake triggered a tsunami and washed it — and so much more — out to sea. About a year later, the buoy was found more than 3,000 miles away on a remote Alaska island, discovered by an avid beachcomber who, through sheer coincidence, was later able to find the owner, who had lost her home and business. Hundreds of similar buoys have been found on beaches along the West Coast, a combination of the everyday trash that has plagued coastal areas for years and the debris washed away by the March 11, 2011, disaster. Distinguishing between the two is difficult. Just 21 items from among the more than 1,500 reports of possible tsunami debris have been firmly traced back to the natural disaster, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The confirmed items include several derelict vessels, including a small boat found in Hawaii waters, large docks in Washington state and Oregon, and a motorcycle off the coast of British Columbia. These are items that tend to have unique markings — names of people and places, registration numbers or other identifying information. The Japanese government estimated 1.5 million tons of debris was floating in the ocean in the immediate aftermath of the disaster, which devastated a long stretch of Japan’s northeastern coast and killed thousands of people. But it’s not clear how much is still out there or what might reach U.S. shores. Beachcombing on Middleton Island, in the northern Gulf of Alaska, has long been a favorite pastime for radar technician David Baxter and some of his colleagues. In February 2012, a co-worker found a soccer ball. Baxter subsequently found another soccer ball — a discovery that made international headlines as one of the first identifiable pieces of debris to wash up — plus a volleyball and the buoy. The buoy stood out to Baxter as a bit different from other buoys that have washed up. For example, it was hard, not inflatable, and had writing on it. By chance, when a Japanese film crew was visiting him and his wife after the discovery of the soccer ball, they panned across other items he had found, including the buoy, he said. A friend of the restaurant’s owner, Sakiko Miura, recognized it, and the owner later confirmed it was hers through a photo sent by Baxter. FedEx, which flies regularly between Anchorage and Tokyo, volunteered to return items including the balls found by Baxter and the buoy last June. The team traveled by plane to Tokyo and then by train to outlying communities, hand-delivering the items, said spokeswoman Sharon Young. “It was a wonderful experience, to reunite people with things that meant a lot to them and that survived this incredibly devastating situation,” she said.

Group’s immigration sessions under wraps By Erica Werner The Associated Press

washington» The eight senators meet in private several times a week, alternating between Sen. John McCain’s and Sen. Charles Schumer’s offices. They sit in arm chairs arranged in a circle and sip water or soft drinks as they debate temporary workers and border security. This is immigration reform’s “Gang of Eight.” With them lies the best hope in years for overhauling the nation’s immigration laws — and they know it. That’s partly why they are, by all accounts, working amazingly well together as a self-imposed deadline approaches for their sweeping legislation to be released. The progress is happening even though the group includes some of the Senate’s most outsized personalities, failed and prospective presidential candidates, one lawmaker dogged by scandal and another facing a potential re-election challenge that could be complicated by his stance on immigration. “I tell you what, this is one of the best experiences I’ve had. Everybody’s serious, everybody’s knowledgeable, they’ve been around the issue,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham-R-S.C., who is up for re-election next year and facing a potential GOP primary challenge from the right. He said it’s “sort of what I came up here to do — sit down with serious people to solve serious and hard problems.” In addition to McCain, RAriz., Schumer, D-N.Y., and Graham, the gang includes Sens. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a potential 2016 presidential candidate; Dick Durbin, D-Ill.; Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.; Michael Bennet, D-Colo.; and Robert Menendez, D-N.J., who is battling allegations related to prostitution and his ties to one of his donors. They meet for an hour or an hour-and-a-half at a time on days when the Senate is in session. No reporters stake out these meetings and aides stand or sit in the background. They’re assiduous about avoiding leaks and tight-lipped on the details of how their talks are going. “I’m guardedly optimistic,” McCain almost invariably says when asked. McCain and Schumer sometimes take the lead in the meetings, but others speak up as issues arise that are of special importance to them. Menendez has made family reunification a focus; Durbin has championed the cause of illegal immigrants brought to the country as children. Graham and Schumer have jointly tried to help broker an agreement between business and labor over a program to bring future workers to the country. The mood in the meetings varies between lighthearted and serious. McCain is given to ribbing Graham and others. Schumer appears to have developed a genuine fondness for both McCain and Graham. Mostly, there’s a focus on getting a bill that can pass and become law, and the sessions are almost an oasis from the fights over the budget that have occupied Congress much of the year. “It’s nice to be in a room where people are actually trying to solve problems and accomplish something,” Bennet said. The legislation the group is working on would secure the border; provide a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants already in the country, contingent on a secure border first; crack down on employers; and improve legal immigration. Senators have indicated some

Barbed humor on menu for annual Gridiron event By The Associated Press

Fracking study may take years to finish By Mary Esch The Associated Press

albany, n.y.» A health study cited by leading environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as pivotal in helping persuade Gov. Andrew Cuomo to hold off on plans for limited gas drilling is likely years away from conclusions about whether the technology involved is safe, according to the project’s leaders. With New York entering the fifth year of review of the process known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, growing calls to wait for the Geisinger Health System study to be finished could push a final decision back several more years, frustrating landowners and the industry that had hoped to begin tapping the gas reserve that lies below parts of the state. Preliminary results could be released within a year. “We don’t really believe that there is a fast answer here, if you’re looking at the issue of health impacts,” said Andy Deubler, an executive vice president at Geisinger Health System in Pennsylvania. “You’ve got to have all the data before you can come to a conclusion.” The study, in early planning stages with only a fraction of its necessary funding, is but one piece of a larger body of independent research getting underway and seeking funding. Geisinger, based in Danville, Pa., serves 2.6 million patients and operates hospitals, clinics and an insurance program in 44 Pennsylvania counties, where fracking is being done. That gives it vast troves of healthcare data, including cancer, car accidents and asthma attacks. The company says research has been “fundamental” to its mission since it was founded in 1915 but also says it has never done a study like this. Alan Leshner, chief executive of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, wrote in an e-mail that it’s “extremely rare” for any single scientific or health study to resolve a difficult question. Complex issues typically require a series of incremental studies, he said. Leaders of an anti-fracking coalition in New York state have said Cuomo should wait for results of the Geisinger study. Critics worry about the environmental and health effects from fracking, which involves injecting water, sand and chemicals into underground rock to free vast reserves of gas.

washington» President Barack Obama had a ready excuse for anyone who didn’t think he was funny enough at Saturday night’s Gridiron dinner: “My joke writers have been furloughed.” Always a target for humorous barbs, the president tossed out a few of his own during the Gridiron Club and Foundation dinner, an annual event that features political leaders, journalists and media executives poking fun at one another. The so-called sequester that struck the federal budget this month drew another observation from Obama: “There is only one thing in Washington that didn’t get cut — the length of this dinner. ... More proof that the sequester doesn’t make sense.” Vice President Joe Biden’s ambitions? “I had to take Joe aside,” the president said, telling him, “You are way too young to be the pope.” During a pause in his remarks, Obama took a long, slow sip of water and then said, “That, Marco Rubio, is how you

Service name used to be ‘Renegade,’ ” she said. “Now it’s ‘Fifty Shades of Gray.’ ” Jindal took a poke at GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, telling the audience that Romney had warned him that “47 percent of you can’t take a joke.” Political disputes and feuds between politicians and the news media provided plenty of fodder for jokes and Gridiron parodies. There was Obama’s sometimes frosty relationship with the news media, the internal struggles roiling the Republican Party, and journalist Bob Woodward’s dustup with White House economic adviser Gene Sperling. He advised Woodward in an e-mail that the veteran Watergate reporter would regret his reporting about the forced spending cuts . In prepared remarks to welcome the 650 people attending the dinner, Gridiron president Charles J. Lewis of Hearst Newspapers noted that the organization had promised to keep the evening short, “especially because Gene Sperling said that a late night is something we’d all regret.”

50% Tien Ha, left, and her friends are served 24-ounce and 16-ounce beverages Friday at a restaurant in New York, where the nation’s first limit on the size of sweetened beverages is set to take effect Tuesday. “I don't think it makes sense,” Ha said. Bebeto Matthews, The Associated Press

New Yorkers prepare for rules on soda size By Jennifer Peltz The Associated Press

new york» At barbecue joints, coffee counters and bottle-service nightclubs, a coming clampdown on big, sugary soft drinks is beginning to take shape on tables and menus in a city that thrives on eating and going out. Restaurants are ordering smaller glasses. Dunkin’ Donuts shops are telling customers they’ll have to sweeten and flavor their own coffee. Coca-Cola has printed posters explaining the new rules, and a bowling lounge is squeezing carrot and beet juice as a potential substitute for pitchers of soda — all in preparation for the nation’s first limit on the size of sugar-laden beverages, set to take effect Tuesday. Some businesses are holding off, hoping a court challenge nixes or at least delays the restriction. But many are getting ready for tasks including reprinting menus and changing movie theaters’ supersized soda-and-popcorn deals. At Brother Jimmy’s BBQ , customers will be able to order margaritas by the pitcher, cocktails in

jumbo Mason jars and heaping plates of ribs. But they’ll no longer get 24-ounce tumblers of soda because the rule bars selling non-diet cola in cups, bottles or pitchers bigger than 16 ounces. “Everything we do is big, so serving it in quaint little 16ounce soda cups is going to look kind of odd,” said owner Josh Lebowitz. Nonetheless, he has ordered 1,000 of them for the restaurant’s five Manhattan locations, rather than take on a fight that carries the threat of $200 fines. “As long as they keep allowing us to serve beer in glasses larger than 16 ounces, we’ll be OK,” Lebowitz said. Beer drinkers can breathe easy: The restriction doesn’t apply to alcoholic beverages, among other exemptions for various reasons. But it does cover such beverages as energy drinks and sweetened fruit smoothies. City officials say it’s a pioneering, practical step to staunch an obesity rate that has risen from 18 percent to 24 percent in a decade among adult New Yorkers. Health officials say sugar-filled drinks bear much of the blame

on all bridal settings. Large selection of diamonds available

because they carry hundreds of calories — a 32-ounce soda has more than a typical fast-food cheeseburger — without making people feel full. The city “has the ability to do this and the obligation to try to help,” said the plan’s chief cheerleader, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, last month. Critics say the regulation won’t make a meaningful difference in diets but will unfairly hurt some businesses while sparing others. A customer who can’t get a 20-ounce Coke at a sandwich shop could still buy a Big Gulp at a 7-Eleven, for instance. Many convenience stores and supermarkets are beyond the city’s regulatory reach. New Yorkers are divided on the restriction. A Quinnipiac University poll released last week found 51 percent opposed it, while 46 percent approved. “I don’t know if the state should be our surrogate parent,” Peter Sarfaty, 71, said as he drank a diet cola with lunch in Manhattan this week. “You get the information out there, but to tell people what they can or can’t do? As if it’s going to stop them.”

Related Rules will complicate coffee orders • new york» Call it the coffee conundrum: What to do when Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s new sugary drink rules come between a harried, half-awake New Yorker and a morning cup of joe? Come Tuesday, when the ban on the sale of large sugary drinks goes into effect, coffee drinkers and those who pour them are likely to face a thicket of complications as varied as the lattes, macchiatos and Americanos on a Starbucks menu. Customers at Dunkin’ Donuts and McDonald’s can expect to add their own sugar packets and flavor swirls to large and larger coffees. At other cafes, some will be given one lump, or perhaps two, in their coffees. Those seeking more will need to visit the condiment stand. Starbucks regulars will see no change at all for the first week, then might find a raft of them waiting one morning. Some large drinks will be affected, others not at all. The city’s new regulations regarding coffee hinge on delicate calculations about milk, calorie and sugar ratios. The barista can add no more than three to five packets of sugar. But there is no limit to the number of Splenda, Equal and Sweet ‘n Low packets a barista can pour in. The New York Times

HEMORRHOIDS?

Nation Briefs PEREZ IS OBAMA’S LIKELY PICK FOR LABOR SECRETARY washington» President Barack Obama is likely to choose Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez to be the next secretary of labor, a source familiar with the matter said Saturday. The choice of Perez, who is Latino, would be a nod to the importance of the Latino vote in the 2012 election. Latinos voted for Obama in large margins, helping him in political swing states such as Colorado and Nevada. Another Latino leader, Colorado Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia, had also been in the running for the job, according to sources.

Two jets bump on taxiway

B new york» Two commercial jets have been damaged in the aviation equivalent of a fender-bender at New York’s Kennedy airport. Nobody was reported injured in the accident, which happened about 6:15 a.m. Saturday. A JetBlue spokesman says a plane carrying about 150 passengers bound for West Palm Beach, Fla., had become temporarily disabled due to a problem with its tow bar and was sitting near a gate when it was bumped by an Air India aircraft. The JetBlue plane suffered some damage to its rudder.

eglin air force base, fla.» The military’s F-35 jet has features that make pilots drool. It is shaped to avoid detection by enemy radar. It can accelerate to supersonic speeds. One model can take off and land vertically. Onboard electronic sensors and computers provide a 360-degree view of the battlefield on flat-panel screens, allowing pilots to quickly identify targets and threats. But its greatest strength has nothing to do with those attributes. The Defense Department and Lockheed Martin, the giant contractor hired to design and build the plane, also known as the Joint Strike Fighter, have constructed what amounts to a budgetary force field around the nearly $400 billion program. Although it is the costliest weapons system in U.S. history and the single most expensive item in the 2013 Pentagon budget, it will face only a glancing blow from the sequestration this year. As the White House and Congress contemplate future budgets, those pushing for additional cuts might find it difficult to trim more than a fraction of the Pentagon’s proposed fleet, even though the program is years behind schedule and 70 percent over its initial price tag. When the F-35 program was first approved by the Pentagon, Lockheed Martin said it could develop and manufacture 2,852 planes for $233 billion. The Pentagon now estimates the total price tag at $397.1 billion. And that is for 409 fewer planes. The overall program is almost four times more costly than any other weapons system under development. Taxpayers have already spent $84 billion on the plane’s design and initial production. Lockheed Martin has spread the work across 45 states — critics call it “political engineering” — which in turn has generated broad bipartisan support on Capitol Hill. Any reduction in the planned U.S. purchase risks antagonizing the eight other nations that have committed to buying the aircraft by increasing their per-plane costs. And senior military leaders warn that the stealthy, technologically sophisticated F-35 is essential to confront Iran, China and other potential adversaries that might employ advanced antiaircraft defenses. The biggest barrier to cutting the F-35 program, however, is rooted in the way in which it was developed: The fighter jet is being mass-produced and placed in the hands of military aviators, who are not test pilots, while the aircraft remains a work in progress. Millions more lines of software code have to be written, vital parts need to be redesigned, and the plane has yet to complete 80 percent of its required flight tests. By the time all that is finished — in 2017, by the Pentagon’s estimates — it will be too late to pull the plug. The military will own 365 of them. By then, “we’re already pregnant,” said Air Force Lt. Gen. Christopher Bogdan, who oversees F-35 development for the Pentagon. When the F-35 finishes testing, “there will be no yes-or-no, up-or-down decision point,” said Pierre Sprey, who was a chief architect of the Air Force’s F-16 Fighting Falcon. “That’s totally deliberate. It was all in the name of ensuring it couldn’t be canceled.”

As risk increases, the revenues of cybersecurity companies and the budgets of the U.S. government’s cybersecurity efforts are growing. «

2. The program is

FROM 1A

In recent years, the White House, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Google, The Wall Street Journal, ThyssenKrupp, the Department of Energy, Twitter and Facebook have reportedly been hacked. Recent high-profile cases, such as one involving The New York Times, have brought attention specifically to hacking efforts originating from China. The “ethical hackers” who made the IHS discovery are a Denver-based cybersecurity company called One World Labs. The company intentionally hacks its clients in an effort to scope out weaknesses. Last month’s incident was not the first time it came across sensitive content in a suspicious place. But until recently, companies such as One World had few options when it came to notifying the government about such breaches. Similarly, the government rarely communicated its knowledge about such risks to businesses. “We all care about the common good, but we have no way of sharing it,” said Jay Weber, chief executive of One World Labs. “I think they are starting to talk in D.C. about opening up those conduits.” Signs that the channels are clearing appeared Feb. 13 when President Barack Obama issued an executive order and policy directive demanding a concerted effort aimed at improving cybersecurity for critical infrastructure. He also addressed the topic in his State of the Union speech. “Of all the things that the federal government gets a poke in the eye about not doing well, this is one of the ways that they are leading us,” said Rick Dakin, CEO and founder of Coalfire, a Broomfield-based cybersecurity audit-and-compliance company. “The work that the DHS is doing right now will convert the scary bedtime story into an actionable business step.” The recent efforts by the Obama administration and the Department of Homeland Security focus primarily on opening a one-way path for government agencies to share cybersecurity information with private companies. “We’ve seen more movement in D.C. in the last 30 days than in the last five years,” Weber said. Many of the efforts are focusing on what seem to be Armageddonlike scenarios, such as hijacked nuclear power plants, disruptions to the electrical grid or interference with water-supply systems, all conducted by exploiting weaknesses in the computer systems of companies that manage such facilities. The private sector, often leery of public oversight and red tape, is cautiously optimistic about the heightened engagement with Washington’s leadership. It says the government can take a lead on such efforts provided it moves quickly to establish the standards. “The government side has the money to innovate. If they can funnel that to help the private sector, great. We just have to move faster,” said Chris Roberts, co-founder and chief information-security officer at One World Labs. “The mind-set is that the public sector puts down a series of regulations on paper but conversations take three to five years. So what started as a good idea gets watered down.” Roberts feared that the information his company found regarding the Iranian hackers would never reach the desk of important officials. This time, however, was different. Roberts recently made a serendipitous connection with Colorado resident Michael Locatis, who specifically focuses on such issues. Locatis is the former assistant secretary of cybersecurity at the Department of Homeland Security, having just stepped down last month. Prior to the DHS, Locatis was the U.S. Department of Energy’s chief information officer and cybersecurity adviser to the secretary of energy. When One World Labs discovered the Iran hacking data, Locatis connected the company directly with Homeland Security, which said it would look into the information. “Folks in the DHS have really rolled up their sleeves and are working with these private companies,” Locatis said. When it comes to cybersecurity fears, a great deal of attention has recently focused on critical infrastructure. Among the 16 sectors identified as “critical” are energy, dams, health

Security Agency and in the Israeli military write a “beacon” program that can map out the workings of the plant.

8. The Iranians,

information on how the plant’s computers are configured and transmits that data back to the intelligence agencies.

“WORM” PROGRAM

4. Using that data, the

Programmers at the National Security Agency and in the Israeli military created a series of worms to attack the computers that control Iran’s nuclear-enrichment center at Natanz. The attacks were repeated for several years, and each time the programs varied to make them difficult to detect. One of the variants escaped from Natanz and became public.

alerted to what happened, take measures to secure the plant. But new attacks are being designed.

programmers design a complex “worm” program to disrupt the plant.

5. Through several methods, the new program is introduced into the plant’s computer controllers, which run thousands of centrifuges.

7. New variants of the worm

are created, each causing a slightly different failure in the plant’s operations. Some mimic mechanical failures common to the centrifuges.

6. The worm takes over the

operation of some centrifuges and causes them to spin too fast or too slowly. They become unbalanced, and in some cases explode. In the summer of 2010, a programming error sends the bug onto the laptop of an Iranian scientist. When he later connects to the Internet, the worm replicates across the Web and is discovered. It is given the name “Stuxnet.” Guilbert Gates for The New York Times

care, water, nuclear reactors, food, communications and the defense industry. “We have offensive cyber (weaponry) being developed in the U.S. We have to expect that is happening in other countries as well,” Dakin said. “China has been actively attacking U.S. companies for years. We are talking about things that control our critical infrastructure.” As risk increases, the revenues of cybersecurity companies and the budgets of the U.S. government’s cybersecurity efforts have grown. One World Labs was founded in 2010 and has doubled its revenues each year. Coalfire entered the cybersecurity business in 2003, has increased revenues by at least 40 percent each year and now has seven offices around the country. The DHS’s National Cybersecurity Division was given a $442 million budget in 2012. Despite the budget crisis Washington is facing, the DHS is asking for nearly twice as much money in 2013: $769 million.

Obama’s executive order mandates federal agencies holding valuable cybersecurity intelligence and methodology to specifically assist private companies that are responsible for servicing these vital functions of society. “Military-grade defense parameters are being commercialized to help industries and companies that are in the critical-infrastructure categories,” Locatis said. Marvin McDaniel, senior vice president and chief administrative officer for Xcel Energy, said the company supports the administration’s efforts and hopes it succeeds. “The greatest threat for us is a focused, coordinated attack on either us as a company or an entire industry,” McDaniel said. “The (government has) so much information on attacks on U.S. industry ... and we are interested in seeing the depth of this information.” The government’s troves of information could help private energy companies such as Xcel prevent a cyberdisaster by knowing where the attacks are

coming from, when they are being planned and the nature of the attacks. In the meantime, McDaniel said his company is protecting itself in all of the usual ways — firewalls, network security and other strong measures — while also trying to develop a better framework for incident response. “We obviously have procedures to handle disasters, but the great question is: What if it affects more than one company? That was one of the great lessons of superstorm Sandy — to better coordinate our responses,” McDaniel said. And while companies that carry a huge civic responsibility through their products — such as Xcel, IHS and Lockheed Martin — take their cyberprotection seriously, other businesses and corporations do not. To many companies, the threats don’t feel real enough to warrant the time and money needed to keep up with adequate cyberprotection, experts said. “For businesses, they have the perspective of ‘Just give me what is good enough.’ What is really insidious about

“Sophisticated” attackers may have accessed data for 250,000 users. Attackers took advantage of a flaw in Java software; no customer data was lost. Attackers exploited a flaw similar to Facebook’s issue; no customer data lost. Suspected Chinese attackers targeted the company’s systems, Gmail accounts. Attackers breached data for 130 million credit cards. Attackers breached its systems and stole information. Attacker breached its systems, in part with information gleaned from RSA. Attackers wiped out data on more than 30,000 employee computers. Told its customers that attackers breached its systems and stole project files.

this is that they don’t think they are big enough to be a target,” said Bud Michael, CEO of eSoft, a Broomfieldbased company focusing on firewall, email and network security. Part of the problem is that these companies do not know what resources they have and where to turn for help. Locatis is aiming to help bridge that gap. He helped catalyze the change in attitude at the DHS before leaving his position, and he is now working on the private side of the equation. He started Nexusist, a Colorado company that aims to make sense of the cyber-ecosystem to company and government players. “This is information that was trapped in government,” Locatis said. “Not only was there not informationsharing between private and public sectors, the government wasn’t sharing with itself.” And while these signs of improved public-private partnerships are beginning to address information-sharing issues from government to commerce, it is still difficult for the private companies to share with government. Roberts was able to shuttle the IHS breach information to the government because he knew the right people, but that was the exception that he hopes will soon become the rule. “We have tons of big data we want to hand off, but we don’t know where,” Roberts said. Time will tell whether the federal government’s executive branch and these private stakeholders forge a path that others will follow. “The unfortunate thing is that it is our destiny as Americans not to take the medicine,” Dakin said. “We know we have risks, but we don’t take the steps.” Kristen Leigh Painter: 303-954-1638, kpainter@denverpost.com or twitter.com/kristenpainter

Parks force o≠enders out New green spaces keep away sex offenders, but they also limit stable housing for convicts. By Ian Lovett The New York Times

los angeles» Parents who pick up their children at the bus stop in this city’s Harbor Gateway neighborhood say they often see men wearing GPS ankle bracelets and tell their children to stay away. Just up the street, 30 paroled sex offenders live in a single apartment building, including rapists and child molesters. More than 100 registered sex offenders live within a few miles. So local residents and city officials developed a plan to force convicted sex offenders to leave their neighborhood: open a tiny park. Parents here, where state law prohibits registered sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of a school or a public park, are not the only ones seizing on this approach. From the metropolis of Miami to the small town of Sapulpa, Okla., communities are building pocket parks, sometimes so small that they have barely enough room for a swing set, to drive out sex offenders. Within the next several months, one of Los Angeles’ smallest parks will open in Harbor Gateway, on a patch of grass less than 1,000 square feet at the corner of a busy intersection. But even if no child ever uses its jungle gym, the park will serve its intended purpose. “Regardless of whether it’s the largest park or the smallest, we’re putting in a park to send a message that we don’t want a high concentration of sex offenders in this community,” said Joe Buscaino, a former Los Angeles police officer who now represents the area on the City Council. While the pocket parks springing up around the country offer a sense of security to residents, they will probably leave more convicted sex offenders homeless. And research shows that once sex offenders lose stable housing, they become not only harder to track but also more likely to commit another crime, according to state officials involved with managing such offenders. “Putting in parks doesn’t just break up clusters — it makes it impossible for sex offenders to find housing in the whole city,”

said Janet Neeley, a member of the California Sex Offender Management Board. Restrictions on where sex offenders can live, which have been passed in most states, have already rendered most residential areas in many cities off limits. The number of homeless sex offenders in California has increased threefold since 2006, when the latest residency restrictions were passed, and a third of sex offenders on parole are now homeless, according to reports from the Sex Offender Management Board. The others cluster in the few pockets where they are allowed, like the working-class neighborhood of Harbor Gateway. The pocket park policy has

been an unmitigated political victory for Buscaino, who easily won re-election to the City Council on Tuesday. The park’s groundbreaking last month became a neighborhood celebration, complete with a marching band and residents who loudly cheered Buscaino and other local officials. “I think it’s great,” said Patti O’Connell, 58, who lives a block from the park. “I just feel sorry for wherever they’re moving to. It’s scary that there’s sex offenders all around with all these little kids here.” Two more pocket parks are planned for another neighborhood in Buscaino’s district, in hopes of breaking up a cluster of sex offenders who live there. Buscaino said he supports housing for sex offenders but

said the pocket park would improve the quality of life in Harbor Gateway. “Let’s house them, absolutely, but not in a high-population area like this one,” he said.

What a car… and what a buy!

Chevrolet’s dependable 2012 Impala is a steal at $14,981 by G. Clement Hill

AURORA, CO - Sometimes you get what you pay for. Sometimes you get more. And if you happen to be considering a reliable sedan, today you can get much more, because a local dealer that specializes in fleet returns is currently offering 2012 Impala LT’s at a fire sale price of just $14,981 with no added dealer fees, thousands below NADA Book and a far cry from their

original $27,610 sticker price when new. This is one great buy! For 2012, GM stepped up their game in power and efficiency, with a 302 horsepower direct injected 3.6-liter V6, paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The wonderful pairing gives the Impala a spirited performance that it may have lacked in the past, while still providing a respectable 18city/30highway economy rating. But many owners are reporting even better mileage. These nicely furnished LT’s include front bucket seats with center console, dual-zone climate control, a six-way power driver’s seat with lumbar, automatic headlamps, tachometer, AM/ FM/CD player with an auxiliary jack for your MP3, tilt-

steering wheel with audio and cruise controls, remote locks and trunk release and cool split 5-spoke alloy wheels. A nifty remote engine start will spoil you in the wintertime, where you can look out your window and start your car while you’re still in your jammies and have it toasty-warm when you get in, or pre-cool the cabin on a sizzling summer day. No worries, because the car won’t budge ‘til it sees your key. Although this feature may seem a bit gimmicky at first, most who have enjoyed this in their last car demand it on their next. Climb behind the wheel and get comfortable in the heavilybolstered, 6-way power bucket seat, which will quickly become your favorite “easy chair.” Wrap your fingers around the soft, leather-wrapped wheel and get ready to enjoy the butterysmooth ride of a magic carpet.

And you don’t have to go very far to realize you’re in one solid car. On the road, the Impala graciously accepts all orders, and you can’t help being impressed by the peace and quiet inside its spacious cabin, which the boys at GM went to great lengths to keep road and outside noises secret from its occupants. The Impala has long scored high safety marks, and the addition of StabiliTrak (electronic stability control) takes it up several notches. Hailed as the most important safety feature since the seat belt, this guardian angel-like technology helps keep your family safe by applying power and braking to individual wheels on icy or slippery roads - A feat no human can perform. This cutting-edge safety feature helps keep the vehicle on a straight path and helps prevent spinouts due to driver over-correction. Over 60% of all highway fatalities are singlecar accidents, and the National Highway Administration estimates that over 10,000 lives would be saved annually if all cars were equipped with this technology. The 2012 Impala also touts 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS and Traction Control, while its front-wheel drive keeps power planted firmly to the pavement. Buyers also enjoy the remainder of the Impala’s 3yr/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper protection, plus the lion’s share of GM’s comprehensive, 5yr/100,000-

mile power train warranty, which covers just about everything under the car that moves .This spectacular warranty stays with the car regardless of the number of owners, and there’s no deductible. To add the equivalent protection to the average used car would cost around $2500. Wow. Today, smaller economy cars are fetching a premium, yet the Impala sacrifices only a few miles per gallon over a Honda Accord or Toyota Camry equipped with a small 4-banger. If you drive 15,000 miles per year, you’ll only save $275-475 in fuel costs annually while sacrificing room, performance, safety, ride and passenger comfort - Not a good trade. Why not save this money up front in your purchase? Before you pay too much for an import job, or spend $10,000-$13,000 for a three or four year-old, out-of-warranty used car, it’s well worth your time to check out these exceptionally clean, won’t-let-you-down, get-yourmoney’s-worth 2012 Impalas. You’ll be dollars ahead. WHERE TO BUY. The Suss Buick-GMC Corporate Fleet & Lease Return Center in Aurora purchased another round of

pre-owned 2012 Impala LT’s starting at $14,981 with NO added “dealer handling” fees. The folks at Suss pride themselves in still doing business in a small town, smile and a handshake way. With all vehicles clearly priced you’ll find it a refreshing, hasslefree shopping experience. Suss welcomes trades, and offers a wide variety of financing options, including credit unions. Located in the heart of “Auto Row” at 1301 S. Havana Street in Aurora (just one block south of Mississippi), sales may be reached at (303) 3064001 ©B.Debel 2013. Photos for illustration only.

out of Wardak province, even as commandos face a Monday deadline to leave. Hagel is expected to meet Sunday with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who ordered the U.S. forces to leave the province outside Kabul because of

allegations that Afghans working with the commandos were involved in abusive behavior and torture. “I feel confident that we’ll be able to work this out,” Hagel said at Jalalabad Airfield, where he spoke to troops. On Saturday Hagel flew to Bagram

kabul» Two suicide bombings and a host of looming disagreements with the Afghan president cast a shadow Saturday over U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel’s first visit to Afghanistan since taking the post. Nineteen Afghans were killed — including eight children — in the suicide attacks in Kabul and in the eastern Khost province. A U.S. contractor was killed and four soldiers injured when attackers thought to be Afghan soldiers stormed their base and opened fire Friday, just hours before Hagel arrived. “This attack was a message to him,” said Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid in an e-mail to reporters about one of the bombings, which was outside the country’s Defense Ministry in Kabul. Afghan President Hamid Karzai, meanwhile, was standing by a demand that U.S. special operations forces leave a province neighboring Kabul by Monday for alleged abuses of Afghan civilians — charges U.S. officials deny. And a handover ceremony scheduled for Saturday of a U.S. detention facility also fell through, when U.S. and Afghan officials ran into lastminute disagreements. The barrage of crises heralding Hagel’s arrival illustrates the complex minefield of diplomatic and military issues facing the U.S.-led NATO force, and the Obama administration, as they hand over the country’s security to Afghans ahead of the 2014 deadline for the end of NATO combat operations. The violence also shows the Afghan security forces’ struggle to contain the Taliban as NATO troops slowly withdraw, even as Karzai argues for his government to have more control over Afghanistan’s security. NATO officials see the weekend violence as part of the Taliban’s coming campaign for the spring fighting season. “There’s a series of attacks that have started as the snow is thawing. We had a potential insider attack yesterday … and there’s been a number of attacks on the border,” said Brigadier Adam Findlay, NATO’s deputy chief of staff of operations. Karzai condemned the bombings, calling them un-Islamic. Hagel was nowhere near the Kabul blast but heard it across the city. He told reporters traveling with him that he wasn’t sure what it was.

Verdicts spur riot in Cairo Egyptians are furious about the acquittal of cops and the upholding of death sentences over a soccer stadium melee. By Aya Batrawy and Hamza Hendawi The Associated Press

U.N. P EAC EKEEP ER S

21 detained for 3 days by Syrian rebels free By Colum Lynch and Babak Dehghanpisheh The Washington Post

cairo» Egyptians rampaged through the heart of Cairo on Saturday, furious about the acquittal of seven police officers while death sentences against 21 alleged rioters were confirmed in a trial over a soccer stadium melee that left 74 people dead. The case of the Feb. 1, 2012, stadium riot in the city of Port Said at the northern tip of the Suez Canal has taken on political undertones not just because police faced allegations of negligence in the tragedy but also because the verdicts were announced at a time when Egypt is in the grip of the latest and most serious bout of political turmoil in the two years since Hosni Mubarak’s ouster. Saturday’s verdicts also were handed down against the backdrop of an unprecedented wave of strikes by the nation’s police force over demands for better working conditions and anger over what many think are attempts by President Mohammed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood to take control of the police force. Tensions over the riot — which began when supporters of Port Said’s AlMasry club set upon fans of Cairo’s Al-Ahly club after the final whistle of a league game that the home team won — have fueled some of the deadliest street violence in months. Police guarding the stadium, meanwhile, faced allegations ranging from not searching people entering the stadium to failing to intervene to stop the bloodshed. Shortly after the verdict was announced, angry fans of Cairo’s Al-Ahly club who had gathered in the thousands outside the team’s headquarters in central Cairo went on a rampage, torching a police club nearby and storming Egypt’s soccer federation headquarters before setting it ablaze. The twin fires sent plumes of thick black smoke billowing out over the Cai-

A protester mourns his fatally wounded comrade after evacuating him from the scene of clashes Saturday in Cairo. Security officials say two protesters died Saturday during fights between anti-government protesters and police near two luxury hotels and the U.S. and British embassies. Nasser Nasser, The Associated Press ro skyline, prompting Defense Minister Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi to dispatch two army helicopters to extinguish the fires. At least five people were injured in the verdict protests, a Health Ministry official told the MENA state news agency. Some demonstrators in Port Said also burned tires on the city’s dock to prevent vessels from coming in and released speedboats into traffic lanes of the Suez Canal in attempts, foiled by the navy, to disrupt shipping in the vital waterway linking the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. General unrest also continued elsewhere in the Egyptian capital, which has seen unrelenting demonstrations

and clashes between security forces and an opposition that accuses Morsi of trying to monopolize power in the hands of his Islamist allies. Two protesters also were killed and 19 injured in clashes elsewhere in the capital that appeared unrelated to the soccer violence, said national ambulance service chief Mohammed Sultan. The fighting occurred near two hotels and the U.S. and British embassies. The court’s decision upheld the death sentences issued in late January against 21 people, most of them Port Said fans. The original verdict touched off riots in Port Said that left about 40 people dead, most shot by police.

On Saturday, the court announced its verdict for the other 52 defendants in the case, sentencing 45 of them to prison, including two senior police officers who got 15 years terms each. The two were charged with gross negligence and failure to stop the killings. Twenty-eight people were acquitted, including seven police officials. Defense lawyers claimed the case has been flawed from the start, with prosecutors collecting evidence in an “unorthodox” fashion and overlooking key aspects of the tragedy such as the fact the floodlights were turned off during the attack on the Al-Ahly fans and the nearest exit gate was locked.

united nations» Twentyone U.N. peacekeepers being held by Syrian rebels for three days were set free Saturday before safely crossing the border into Jordan, according to senior U.N. officials and rebel commanders. The development marked the end of one of the most dramatic U.N. hostage crises in years. It followed days of intense U.N. negotiations to secure the release of the Filipino blue helmets against a backdrop of fighting between Syrian forces and rebel fighters. “The armed group that had detained the 21 peacekeepers transported them to the Jordanian border, where they were met by Jordanian officials,” said Josephine Guerrero, a spokeswoman for the U.N. Department of Peacekeeping. “All 21 peacekeepers are well and unharmed.” After the peacekeepers arrived safely in Jordan, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s office issued a statement welcoming the peacekeepers’ release and urging the combatants to respect the U.N. peacekeepers’ freedom of movement and the safety of the U.N. personnel in Syria, where they are monitoring a decades-old truce along the Golan Heights between Israel and Syria. Ban also urged the warring parties to “respect and uphold the protection of civilians,” reflecting persistent concerns that Syrian authorities might retaliate against villagers in the town of Jamlah, where rebel forces were holding the peacekeepers in a series of home basements.

GUNS «FROM 1A entire criminal-background check during a traffic stop, but they can almost instantly find out whether the motorist is wanted on a warrant or is driving with a suspended license. Federal privacy rules regarding criminal-history reports can make it complicated for law officers to access the information while working the streets — no one unauthorized is allowed to see it, even through the window or the back seat, and some agencies do not have laptops in their cars that would meet security requirements. Some do not have laptops at all. Further complicating the police work is that when officers do get the criminal history, the outcome of every arrest is not always clear, they said. At times, deputies must check the court system or call the prosecutor to determine whether the person was in fact convicted of a felony and did not plead to a lesser charge, Smith said. “For them to come back to headquarters or a police station and do that kind of work, it just doesn’t happen,” Smith said. “Some of these get caught later on; a lot of them don’t.” Some Republican lawmakers said they are interested in the idea and might turn it into legislation, but Senate President John Morse, a Democrat and former Colorado Springs police officer, was not convinced it would “solve anything.” The state should improve its current criminal-history database instead of spending money creating a new one, Morse said. “That data already exists in the criminal-background check,” he said. “Any police officer who cares about his or her cases is going to do that.” In the politically charged guncontrol debate, the idea for a database of felons is viewed by some as an attempt to dampen the momentum of gun bills coursing through the legislature. Morse backed a bill OK’d by the Senate on Friday that requires a background check on every gun sale in Colorado, including those between private citizens. He estimated that 40 percent of gun sales in Colorado happen without a background check, which is required at gun stores. Even if law officers had access to a database of felons, “we would

University of Northern Colorado student Kimberly Weeks, right, embraces Sen. Angela Giron, D-Pueblo, after Sen. Rollie Heath, D-Boulder, essentially killed his bill banning concealed weapons on campuses late Friday. Weeks testified against the bill. Karl Gehring, The Denver Post still have the problem where criminals can legally buy guns in Colorado.” Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray, said that if Democrats don’t like the felon-database proposal, then they “really are interested in gun control, not safety.” “It’s so much better than calling into question the right of law-abiding people to have guns,” he said. The County Sheriffs of Colorado has not polled its members on the felon-database idea, but executive director Chris Olson said it was worth exploring. He agreed the current system for

determining who is a felon has flaws, saying that criminal-history checks sometimes do not include the final adjudication

of a case. “Officers just don’t have that much time to sit there on a traffic stop, especially, and figure

out all that stuff,” he said. If the state were to keep a quick-reference felon database, it probably would fall to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to create it. CBI spokeswoman Susan Medina said the agency has not “been involved in any talks about this” and could not comment on specifics. However, she said criminalhistory checks include final disposition of a charge nearly all of the time. She also said problems could arise for innocent people who have common names, meaning their name might match a felon in the database. Greenwood Village Police Chief John Jackson, who is the legislative chairman for the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police, called a felony database an “awesome” idea and said he would “love that capacity.” The information is available on criminal-history reports, but a database would provide a “shortcut,” Jackson said. An unknown number of felons who come in contact with police while carrying guns are never caught; they are cited for speeding or some other minor infraction and drive away, law officers said. In one Larimer County case, a man with a gun in his car was pulled over near Interstate 25’s Windsor exit on a traffic violation, Smith said. When he overheard the sheriff’s deputy say he was driving with a suspended license, he took off running. He was tackled and booked into the county jail on misdemeanor charges. The man had posted bail by the time authorities realized he was a convicted felon and legally barred from carrying a gun. If the deputy had figured that out during the traffic stop, he could have booked him on a felony charge and held him longer in jail, Smith said.

Sponsor of liability bill rips gun lobby Senate President John Morse’s measure was one of two dropped in the legislature late Friday. By Tim Hoover and Lynn Bartels The Denver Post

Two of the seven gun proposals in the Colorado legislature were dropped late Friday, and the sponsor of one of the dead bills ripped the gun lobby for forcing him to scuttle his proposal. Under Senate President John Morse’s Senate Bill 196, manufacturers and sellers of semiautomatic rifles could have been sued for violent acts committed by gun owners they “negligently entrusted” with an assault-style weapon if the gun buyer was someone whom they “reasonably should have known might use the weapon” to cause harm. As he announced that he was dropping his proposal, the Colorado Springs Democrat said that although 6-year-old children had “been shot in the face” at an elementary school in Connecticut in December, “the gun lobby has actually argued we need more guns and managed to convince Coloradans that they will lose their guns if we impose even reasonable restrictions on firearms.” But, Morse said, “this debate on reducing gun violence in this country needed to happen, and it finally is happening.” Republicans referred to the measure as a “radical anti-gun

bill.” “All of Colorado should be celebrating right now,” said Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs. The other bill that was dropped was House Bill 1226, a measure banning concealed weapons on campus. Sponsor Sen. Rollie Heath, D-Boulder, moved that the bill be postponed until May 10, two days after the end of the session, effectively killing the bill. Heath read from a statement in which he cited a litany of statistics to back up his argument that guns were not safe on campuses. Critics argued that the bill would create “rape havens” on campus, but Heath dismissed such an argument. He did acknowledge concerns about campus safety that came to light in the committee process. “Campus violence is a comprehensive problem that needs comprehensive solutions, and I would like this bill to address more of the concerns raised in this debate,” he said. “I look forward to working with the Republicans over the next year on solutions to campus violence, including sexual assault on college campuses and the alarming growth in suicides.” Republicans rejoiced over the bill’s demise. “This was a victory for public safety and the rights of lawabiding citizens,” said Cadman. “Criminals do not respect gunfree zones, and this bill would have only worked against public safety.”

How a pope is elected Starting Tuesday, the College of Cardinals will meet in Rome to choose from among themselves a successor to Pope Benedict XVI. Benedict will not be involved in the selection. The conclave follows precise rules developed and refined over centuries. The name comes from “cum clave,” meaning “with a key,” signifying that the cardinals are locked in for the election.

Who is eligible to vote

INSIDE VATICAN CITY

Under a change of rules stipulated by Pope Paul VI, only cardinals who have not yet reached their 80th birthday on the day of the pope’s death may enter the conclave. Those over 80 may participate in preliminary meetings. Cardinals who are under age 80 and will be voting: EUROPE 61

Italy has 28 cardinals, the most.

They come from 48 countries.

Forty-eight cardinals were appointed by Pope John Paul II. Sixty-seven were appointed by Pope Benedict XVI.

The average age is 72.

Note: Two additional cardinals are eligible, but have declared they will not participate in the next conclave. Ninety cardinals are age 80 or older and are ineligible to vote for a new pope.

INSIDE THE SISTINE CHAPEL

Accommodations St. Martha’s House The cardinals live in a five-story building, a Vatican residence with 105 two-room suites and 26 single rooms, during the conclave.

Altar

The chapel is swept for listening devices before and during the conclave.

Three vote counters called scrutineers

Observers can see the cardinals only when they travel between their lodging and the chapel. Vatican City workers who encounter them are not allowed to speak to them. Each cardinal has to be present to vote and must cast his own ballot. Other people allowed inside the conclave: two technicians, medical personnel and several assistants.

Ballot cards with Eligo in summum pontificem (“I elect as supreme pontiff”) printed at the top are given to the cardinals. Each cardinal secretly fills in the name of his preferred candidate in a way that disguises his handwriting. In order of seniority, they walk to the altar, hold up the folded ballot and place it in a silver and gilded bronze urn (above).

Determining a winner

A new pope is announced

The Cardinal Camerlengo and his three assistants tally the ballots and read aloud the name of the cardinal who received each vote. The ballots and any notes are then burned. A record is kept for the Vatican archives.

Voting begins the first afternoon. If no one receives the required two-thirds of ballots cast, voting takes place twice each morning and afternoon. If after the third day no pope is elected, a one-day break for prayer can be taken. This process repeats after every seven votes.

A two-thirds majority of the cardinals present is required to win. After 33 rounds, a runoff will occur between the top two vote-getters, according to a tweak in the rules made by Pope Benedict XVI.

After each voting session, all ballots, tally sheets and notes are burned in a small stove just off the chapel. An official record of the voting is sealed and put in the Vatican archives.

Smoke signals

Introducing the pope

White: When a candidate is

Once a cardinal has received the required number of votes, the dean of the College of Cardinals asks him if he accepts, and he chooses a name. The cardinals then pledge their obedience to the new pope. The pope puts on a white cassock and skullcap; various sizes are kept on hand. The senior deacon of the cardinals steps onto the main balcony of the Vatican and declares: “Habemus papam” — “We have a pope.”

elected, the papers are burned with chemicals that cause white smoke. Bells of St. Peter’s Basilica also ring to clear up any confusion over smoke color. Black: If no one has been

elected, black smoke from the burning papers signals that to the waiting crowd.

Sistine Chapel readied as conclave draws near A chimney is installed atop the building, while a spokesman says there’s no reason the vote should take long. By Nicole Winfield The Associated Press

vatican city» The Vatican sought Saturday to quash speculation that divisions among cardinals could drag out the conclave to elect the new pope, while preparations for the vote plowed ahead with firefighters installing the Sistine Chapel chimney that will tell the world when a decision has been reached. But the specter of an inconclusive first few rounds of secret balloting remained high, with no clear front-runner heading into Tuesday’s papal election and a long list of cardinals still angling to discuss the church’s problems ahead of the vote. “You don’t have your mind absolute-

ly made up” going into the conclave, said U.S. Cardinal Justin Rigali, who participated in the 2005 conclave that elected Benedict XVI. “You have your impressions.” The Vatican spokesman, however, took pains to stress the “vast,” nearunanimous decision by the 115 cardinal electors to set Tuesday as the conclave start date and noted that no conclave over the past century has gone on for more than five days. “I think it’s a process that can be carried out in a few days without much difficulty,” spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi told reporters. While the initial voting Tuesday will likely see a broad number of candidates nominated, subsequent rounds will quickly whittle down the field to those candidates who are likely to obtain the two-thirds, or 77 votes necessary for victory, he said. “This process of identifying the candidates who can receive the consensus and on whom cardinals can converge

is a process that can move with notable speed,” Lombardi said. The Vatican was certainly going fullthrottle Saturday with preparations. Inside the Sistine Chapel, workmen staple-gunned the brown felt carpeting to the false floor that has been constructed to even out the stairs and cover the jamming equipment that has been installed to prevent cellphone or eavesdropping devices from working. Off in the rear left-hand corner sat the stove, a century-old cast iron oven where the voting ballot papers are burned, sending up puffs of smoke to tell the world whether a pope has been elected (white smoke) or not (black). After years of confusion, the Vatican in 2005 installed an auxiliary stove where fumigating cases are lit. The smoke from those cases joins the burned ballot smoke in a single copper pipe that snakes up the Sistine’s frescoed walls, out the window and up on the roof where firemen on Saturday fitted the chimney top.

Elsewhere in the Apostolic Palace, officials on Saturday took measures to definitively end Benedict XVI’s pontificate, destroying his fisherman’s ring and the personal seals and stamps he used for official papers. The act — coupled with Benedict’s resignation and pledge of obedience to the future pope — is designed to signal the end of his papacy so there is no doubt that a new pope is in charge. These steps were made necessary given Benedict’s decision to resign rather than stay on the job until death. The developments all point toward the momentous event soon to confront the Catholic Church: Tuesday’s start of the conclave to elect a new leader of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics who must try to solve the numerous problems facing the church. For the sixth day, cardinals met behind closed doors Saturday and once again discussed the work of the Holy See’s offices “and how to improve it,” Lombardi said.

The Holy See’s internal governance has been a constant theme in these days of discussion, an indication that the revelations of corruption, political infighting and turf battles exposed by the leaks of papal documents last year are casting a big shadow over this conclave. The attention the issue has received suggests the cardinals will want a good manager in a pope — or at least a pope who would appoint a good manager as his secretary of state, the key administration job in the Vatican. Another round of secret consultations is scheduled for Monday, the last day before the conclave. Lombardi confirmed that the bells of St. Peter’s Basilica will ring once a pope has been elected, though he acknowledged that there will always be some uncertainty in the whole endeavor. In 2005, it wasn’t clear whether the smoke coming out of the chimney was black or white and whether the bells were ringing for a pope or simply because the clock had struck noon.

islamabad» An enraged Muslim crowd attacked a Christian neighborhood in Lahore on Saturday, setting fire to more than 150 houses and two churches, in a new display of religious intolerance as Pakistan reels from violent persecution against other minorities. In Peshawar on Saturday, a bomb exploded in a mosque, killing at least four people and wounding 28, the police said. In Lahore, several thousand people attacked the Joseph Colony, a Christian neighborhood of about 200 homes, after a report that a Christian sanitation worker had blasphemed the Prophet Muhammad. Blasphemy has acquired a hair-trigger sensitivity across Pakistan in recent years, with an alarming increase in mob violence. The claims of blasphemy in Lahore, the police said, stemmed from an argument Wednesday between two friends: Sawan Masih, the sanitation worker, and Shahid Imran, a Muslim barber. On Thursday, Imran accused Masih, 28, of blasphemy, sending a shiver of apprehension through the Christian population. People began to leave their homes that evening. On Friday, the police prepared charges against Masih. On Saturday morning, several thousand people, including ethnic Pashtuns who worked in nearby factories, set upon the colony. Some were armed with batons and pistols, the police said. “They vandalized Christians’ houses, desecrated churches and opened fire on the police,” said a police spokesman, Multan Khan. Several police officers were hurt as they tried to intervene. Akram Gill, a local bishop in the Lahore Chris-

A demonstrator burns a cross during a protest Saturday in the Joseph Colony, a Christian neighborhood in Lahore, Pakistan. An enraged mob of thousands set fire to houses and churches after a resident there was accused of blasphemy. Adrees Hassain, Reuters tian community said the incident had more to do with personal enmity between two men than blasphemy. He said the men got into a brawl after drinking, and in the morning the Muslim man made up the blasphemy story as payback. “Poor people were living here. They have lost all of their belongings,” he said. “Where can they go now?”

By evening, about 178 houses, 18 shops and two churches had been damaged by fire, said Ahmad Raza, who was leading the rescue operation. The one-room house that Jani Masih, another sanitation worker, shared with his three sons was among the homes destroyed. “Even a single household has not been spared,” said Masih, whose name is common among Christians.

The devastation was a testament to the intolerance sweeping across Pakistani society. Once an accusation of blasphemy is made, it’s extremely difficult to get it reversed, partly because law enforcement officials do not want to be seen as being soft on blasphemers.

Preservation of Chavez’s body will take lot of work By Lisa J. Adams and Luis Andres Henao The Associated Press

No one lives forever — nor do they last forever. At least not without a lot of tuneups. As much as it might seem like the bodies of famous world leaders such as Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and Mao Zedong have been preserved for all eternity, their enduring physical presence is simply an illusion aided by science. Only the Venezuelan officials who have promised to preserve Hugo Chavez and display his body “for eternity” inside a glass tomb know exactly how they’re going to do it. But if they were to follow procedures that are used in the United States, the technique might be rather simple: repeat embalming. “The first thing to remember about embalming as we do it in the U.S. is that it is designed to delay the natural deterioration of the body; it’s not forever,” said Vernie Fountain, a licensed embalmer and owner and founder of the Fountain National Academy of Professional Embalming Skills in Springfield, Mo. So what does that mean exactly? In the U.S., most embalmers use a machine that injects fluid laced with chemicals, principally formaldehyde, into an artery of the body, while the majority of the blood is emptied from a vein. Often a chemical known as a humectant is added, which “helps to fill out the body, some of the hollow spaces, and adds a degree of moisture,” Fountain said. While he stressed that he has no personal knowledge about the condition of Chavez’s body at the time of his death or when it was or will be embalmed,

Posters depicting the late Hugo Chavez are seen on a street Saturday in Caracas. The election for Venezuela’s next president is set for April 14. Chavez’s vice president, Nicolas Maduro, is certain to run. Mariana Bazo, Reuters Fountain said one possible method of preserving his corpse is to follow the embalming process with a periodic injection of humectant or something similar to keep moisture in the tissues. Makeup also helps to cover areas that have gone brown with dehydration. Just to be safe, Venezuelan officials could take a precautionary step and make a face mask, using Chavez’s real face to form a mold that could be placed over the flesh in the future “and keep it looking more like he did when he died,” Fountain said. Confronted with such a never-ending and unsavory task, why do countries such as Russia, China, Vietnam, and now Venezuela, go to such lengths to preserve their leaders’ remains? “The decision to embalm

Chavez is an attempt to include him in a pantheon of communist deities,” said Nina Tumarkin, a professor of history at Wellesley College and the author of “Lenin Lives! The Lenin Cult in Soviet Russia.” “It’s a throwback to Soviet, communist times, and it might seem obsolete, but it might be the only pantheon where he belongs. Better to belong to the wrong club than none at all.” Other socialist or communist leaders embalmed after dying include Russian dictator Josef Stalin, though his body was later removed, and North Korea’s father-and-son leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il. But it was the famous display of Soviet founder Lenin in Moscow’s Red Square in 1924 that inspired the custom among left-leaning leaders.

World Briefs MANDELA BACK IN HOSPITAL FOR ROUTINE CHECKUP johannesburg» Nelson Mandela, the former South African president and anti-apartheid leader, was admitted to a hospital Saturday for a scheduled medical check-up and doctors say there is no cause for “alarm,” the president’s office said. Officials have used similarly soothing language to explain previous hospital stays for 94year-old Mandela, but in those cases he later turned out to have more serious conditions. The intense privacy surrounding the health of Mandela reflects in part the official reverence for a man who is seen as one of the great, unifying figures of the 20th century for helping to avert race-driven chaos in South Africa’s tense transition from apartheid to democracy.

TARGETING AMERICANS Some wonder aloud: If the president can order the assassination of U.S. citizens overseas, based on secret intel, what are the limits to his power?

Tribesmen last month stand on the rubble of a building destroyed by a 2011 U.S. drone strike in Yemen that killed suspected militants, as well as Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, the son of U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, also killed by a drone in 2011. Khaled Abdullah, Reuters By Charlie Savage, Mark Mazzetti and Scott Shane The New York Times

washington» One morning in late September 2011, a group of American drones took off from an airstrip the CIA had built in the remote southern expanse of Saudi Arabia. The drones crossed the border into Yemen and were soon hovering over a group of trucks clustered in a desert patch of Jawf province, a region of the impoverished country once renowned for breeding Arabian horses. A group of men who had just finished breakfast scrambled to get to their trucks. One was Anwar al-Awlaki, the firebrand preacher, born in New Mexico, who had evolved from a peddler of Internet hatred to a senior operative in al-Qaeda’s branch in Yemen. Another was Samir Khan, another American citizen who had moved to Yemen from North Carolina and was the creative force behind Inspire, the militant group’s English-language Internet magazine. Two Predator drones pointed lasers on the trucks while the larger Reapers took aim. The Reaper pilots, operating their planes from thousands of miles away, took aim and fired. It was the culmination of years of painstaking intelligence work, intense deliberation by lawyers working for President Barack Obama and turf fights between the Pentagon and the CIA, whose parallel drone wars converged on the killing grounds of Yemen. For what was apparently the first time since the Civil War, the United States government had carried out the deliberate killing of an American citizen as a wartime enemy and without a trial. Eighteen months later, the decision to hunt and kill al-Awlaki has become the subject of public scrutiny and debate, touched off by the nomination of John Brennan, Obama’s counterterrorism adviser, to be head of the CIA. The leak last month of an unclassified Justice Department “white paper” summarizing the administration’s abstract legal arguments — prepared months after the al-Awlaki and Khan killings amid an internal debate over how much to disclose — has ignited demands for even greater transparency. Some wondered aloud: If the president can order the assassination of Americans overseas, based on secret intelligence, what are the limits to his power?

A legal quandary As lawyers in the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, it had fallen to David Barron and Martin Lederman to declare whether deliberately killing al-Awlaki, despite his citizenship, would be lawful, assuming it was not feasible to capture him. According to officials familiar with the deliberations, the lawyers threw themselves into the project and swiftly completed a short memorandum. It preliminarily concluded, based on the evidence available at the time, that al-Awlaki was a lawful target because he was participating in the war with al-Qaeda and also because he was a specific threat to the country. The overlapping reasoning justified a strike either by the Pentagon or by the CIA. And while the Constitution generally requires judicial process before the government may kill an American, the Supreme Court has held that in some contexts — like when the police, to protect innocent bystanders, ram a car to stop a high-speed chase — no prior permission from a judge is necessary. The law-

to about 63 pages but remained narrowly tailored to al-Awlaki’s circumstances, blessing lethal force against him without addressing whether it would also be permissible to kill citizens in other situations. Nearly three years later, a version of the legal analysis portions would become public in the “white paper,” which stripped out all references to al-Awlaki. Divorced from its original context and misunderstood as a general statement about the scope and limits of the government’s authority to kill citizens, the free-floating reasoning would lead to widespread confusion.

The hunt narrows Imam Anwar al-Awlaki was born in New Mexico and attended school in Colorado. Associated Press file

yers concluded that the wartime threat posed by al-Awlaki qualified as such a context. Months later, they began drafting a second, more comprehensive memo, expanding and refining their legal analysis. They discovered a 1997 District Court decision involving a woman who was charged with killing her child in Japan. A judge ruled that a terse overseas-killing law must be interpreted as incorporating the exceptions of its domestic-murder counterpart, writing, “Congress did not intend to criminalize justifiable or excusable killings.” And by arguing that it is not unlawful “murder” when the government kills an enemy leader in war or national self-defense, Barron and Lederman concluded that the foreignkilling statute would not impede a strike. The two lawyers finished their second alAwlaki memorandum, whose reasoning was widely approved by other administration lawyers in the summer of 2010. It had ballooned

As al-Awlaki had become one of the world’s most hunted terrorists, his 16-year-old son, Abdulrahman, had lived the life of a normal adolescent. But he sneaked out of the family home in Sana, Yemen’s capital, leaving a note for his mother saying he had gone to find his father. By the time the teenager headed to Shabwa, his father, accompanied by Khan, had left for Jawf province, hundreds of miles away. On the morning of Sept. 30, guided by a CIA tipster, a fleet of drones destroyed his father’s convoy. Then, on Oct. 14, a missile apparently intended for an Egyptian al-Qaeda operative, Ibrahim al-Banna, hit a modest outdoor eating place in Shabwa. The intelligence was bad: Banna was not there, and among about a dozen men killed was the young Abdulrahman al-Awlaki. It was a tragic error and, for the Obama administration, a public relations disaster, muddying the moral clarity of the previous strike on Anwar al-Awlaki and fueling skepticism about American assertions of drones’ surgical precision. Abdulrahman had been born in Denver, said a certificate from the Colorado health department. In the United States, at the time his government’s missile killed him, the teenager would have just reached driving age.

rico» Federal officials have rescued 71 Haitian migrants found stranded on the shores of a cluster of islands just west of Puerto Rico. U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. Coast Guard first rescued two migrants found on one island and then the remainder of the group from the island of Desecheo off the western coastal town of Rincon.

Kenya rival won’t concede Odinga to contest results of Kenyatta’s narrow presidential victory

Slightly driven

By Rodney Muhumuza and Tom Odula The Associated Press

nairobi, kenya» Uhuru Kenyatta, the son of Kenya’s founding father, was named the winner of the country’s presidential election Saturday with 50.07 percent of the vote, but his opponent refused to concede, alleging failures in election integrity that he said has put Kenyan democracy on trial. Supporters of Kenyatta — a man accused by an international court of helping to orchestrate the vicious violence that marred the nation’s last vote — flooded the streets, celebrating in a parade of red, his campaign’s color. Refusing to accept defeat, Prime Minister Raila Odinga said the election process experienced multiple failures as he announced plans to petition the Supreme Court. Odinga asked for calm and for Kenyans to love one another, a call that might help prevent a repeat of the 2007-08 violence in which more than 1,000 people were killed and that brought Kenya to the edge of civil war. Kenyatta’s slim margin of victory increases the focus on many electoral failures that occurred during the six-day voting and counting process. His margin of victory was just about 8,000 votes out of 12.3 million cast. The United States, Britain and the European Union gave Kenya’s new political era a chilly reception. All released statements congratulating the Kenyan people but none mentioned Kenyatta by name. The West had made it clear before the vote that it would not welcome a President Kenyatta. Kenyatta faces trial in July at the International Criminal Court over allegations he orchestrated the murder, forcible deportation, persecution and rape of Odinga’s supporters in the aftermath of

Kenyatta, as president, might have to spend large chunks of his first years in Kenya’s highest office in a courtroom in The Hague. The United States previously warned of “consequences” if Kenyatta wins, the nature of which depends on what happens in months ahead. Britain has said it would have only essential contact with Kenyatta as president. In his acceptance speech, Kenyatta gave a nod to the ICC, saying he recognizes the nation’s international obligations. He pledged to cooperate with “international institutions,” but he also said he expects the international community to “respect our sovereignty and the democratic will of the people of Kenya.” If Kenyatta’s victory holds, the son of Jomo Kenyatta, who is considered to be the country’s founding father, will become the fourth president of Kenya since its independence from British colonial rule in 1963. In the wake of the Kenyatta’s victory, minor skirmishes were reported, including youths setting tires on fire in the western

city of Kisumu, Odinga’s home region. But no major violence was confirmed around Kenya. Odinga listed election failures over the past week: a voter ID system was scrapped Monday after the technology failed; a pre-

liminary tally of early returns was scrapped Tuesday after computer servers overloaded; election officials said a computer error had inflated the number of rejected ballots by a factor of eight in the early tallying system.

Falkland Islands’ future up for vote The archipelago’s residents will choose in a referendum this week: Britain or Argentina?

Both countries have historical claims on the islands, the British one bolstered by their continuous habitation there since the 1830s, the Argentine by the fact that Stanley lies barely 300 miles from the Argentine coast and nearly 8,000 miles from Britain. To the argument of proximity, Argentina has added in recent times the contention that Britain intends, by keeping control of the Falklands, to rob Argentina of the newly discovered deep-sea oil reserves and rich fisheries within the Falklands’ territorial waters. The referendum has been dismissed by Kirchner, who has said that islanders are “colonial implants” from Britain whose preferences count for nothing

The benchmark is a 2002 referendum in Gibraltar, another British dependency, where the vote for retaining the British link or accepting a new status tying the isthmus on which Gibraltar stands to Spain was 98.5 percent. That, too, was not much of a cliffhanger because many of those eligible to vote were of British descent. For Argentina and Britain, the 1982 conflict was a shock — enough to lead, in time, to the

collapse of the Argentine military junta that mounted the invasion, and to propel Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, in deep political trouble at home when the war gave her an opportunity to play the “Iron Lady,” to a second election victory in 1983. The hope, sustained for years after the war, was that both countries would put the bitterness behind them and build a relationship on interests like trade that pragmatists on both sides saw as more important than the Falklands. But in the past few years the old virulence has returned, driven by a surge of Argentine nationalist fervor stirred by President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who has adopted measures intended to place economic pressure on the islanders, including banning cruise ships that stop at the islands from Argentine ports.

london» On Sunday and Monday, the inhabitants of the Falkland Islands, a wind-swept, sparsely populated archipelago that was a final way station for early 20th-century explorers like Ernest Shackleton en route to the icy wastes of Antarctica, will go to the polls in a referendum on the islands’ future. A total of 1,672 eligible voters — vastly outnumbered by the islands’ estimated population of 1 million penguins and 700,000 sheep — will be asked to answer yes or no to a straightforward proposition: “Do you wish the Falkland Islands to retain their current political status as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom?” The alternative would be to begin a transition to Argentine control, perhaps by a period of shared sovereignty, as Argentina has suggested. The vote comes three decades after Argentina tried to settle the issue by force, invading the islands and losing a 10-week war with Britain that cost the lives of 255 British and 649 Argentine soldiers, sailors and airmen, as well as three civilians on the islands. For those inclined to a wager, the referendum is a lead-pipe cinch. The majority of the islands’ residents are British citizens, and local pundits expect the vote for retaining the status quo will run a few points short, if that, of 100 percent. About the only uncertainty is whether the fog that sweeps over the Falklands will ground the aircraft that carry the ballots from eight separate islands to Stanley, the capital.

against the fact that the islands, known as Las Malvinas to the Argentines, were “stripped” from Argentina by a British naval flotilla that expelled an Argentine settlement in 1833. That event followed on a convoluted colonial history going back to the 16th century that saw rival claims to the islands, at one point or another, by Britain, France, Portugal and Spain. To British frustration, their claim to sovereignty over the islands has failed to win U.S. backing under the Obama administration. With an eye to the strong support Argentina has won for its claim among Latin American states, the United States has urged London and Buenos Aires to reach a negotiated settlement.

The tiny town near I-70 isn’t positioned to cash in on a drilling project. By Carlos Illescas The Denver Post

Most communities benefit economically when oil and gas exploration comes calling. But tiny Agate isn’t positioned to cash in when the first drilling in northern Elbert County in years gets going this spring or summer. Agate, an unincorporated community on Interstate 70, is the closest settlement to where a test well is scheduled to go in on land owned by the Sylvester family. If it is successful, more wells could follow. But there is no existing business in the little town, and so financially struggling Elbert County will watch valuable retail sales tax flow into other counties if the test well tapping the oil and gas below proves up. And so far, Southwestern Energy hasn’t hired locally. What passes for the town in Agate is a cluster of homes — some empty — and a post office, school and telephone cooperative. There are no restaurants where workers could stop off for lunch, no recreational-vehicle campgrounds where they could pull up their fifth-wheelers and hunker down for months, no Walmart where they could shop, no gas station where they could refuel. The nearest town is Deer Trail, which has a restaurant and a pizza joint, but that’s in neighboring Arapahoe County. The closest city, Limon, is just across the county line in Lincoln County. “Initially, there will not be much economic impact at all,” said Elbert County Commissioner Kurt Schlegel. “It’s a very slow startup process. In the short term, it’s not going to have that much of an effect at all.”

BLUEPRINT FOR A COLLEGE EDUCATION

Aurora family’s home-schooling base launches seven kids toward degrees By Kevin Simpson The Denver Post

aurora» Janelle Henderson leans over the kitchen counter with a mug of coffee in one hand and a multicolor pen in the other, placing green check marks by math problems that her 13-year-old son, Jordan, completed correctly, red question marks by the few he did not. After years of shepherding seven children through the same curriculum, she scarcely needs to glance at the answer key. But the daily grading reflects only one unwavering aspect of a template for success that extends beyond home-schooling to address the question that confounds many middle-class families.

How do we send our kids to college? The Hendersons’ multifaceted answer has produced one student on his way to a master’s degree, two others approaching their bachelor’s and another two working on associate’s degrees at community college before they, too, move on to a four-year institution. Two more are plowing through high school work at home, where they will — like the siblings who preceded them — finish their home-school studies at age 16 and then move on to nearby Community College of Aurora. “I have five kids in college,” says Janelle, 48. “That would be impossible if they weren’t learning at home. Then, COLLEGE » 4B

Police were called to the Boulder home Braney shares with his wife, Andrea, and their children about 9:40 p.m. Wednesday on reports of a domestic-violence incident, police say. When officers arrived, Andrea Braney said the couple are divorcing. She said that early in the evening she had been rearranging property between rooms, taking her belongings from his room and placing his items on bookshelves in his room, according to a police report. She told officers Braney was acting in an unpredictable manner when he arrived home and noticed the changes and that she was worried things would become physical.

Loveland entrepreneur cuts deal on “Shark Tank” Loveland businessman Ryan “Cowboy” Ehmann, a former professional rodeo cowboy who is now a fitness entrepreneur, walked away from his appearance on ABC’s “Shark Tank” with $120,000 in his pocket. Ehmann made a deal with “shark” Daymond John for the funding and also will turn over 25 percent of his company, Firm Body Boot Camp, to John. The $120,000 will help Firm Body reach a larger market by funding a high-quality TV infomercial. Ehmann told the Loveland Reporter-Herald that he believes he was chosen to be on the TV show, which airs Fridays, because of his high-energy approach to life. “Shark Tank” features entrepreneurs pitching business ideas to a panel of real-life millionaires and billionaires.

District: Parents of transgender child refuse to meet B colorado springs» Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8 officials took offense at comments made by the New York-based Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund indicating that the school officials refused to enter into mediation for a dispute. D-8 said it turned down mediation because the family of a transgender child at the heart of the dispute shunned a meeting with district officials. The transgender defense organization had filed a state civil-rights complaint on behalf of Kathryn and Jeremy Mathis of Fountain, parents of 6-year-old Coy Mathis. The girl is being home-schooled this semester because she has been denied access to the girls’ bathroom at Eagleside Elementary School. Coy was born a boy but since around 18 months of age has thought of herself as a girl, her parents said. The district also said Friday that it will file a response to the Colorado Civil Rights Commission. It has until March 17 to do so.

ach winter, thousands of young women fill the Denver Convention Center as they compete in Colorado’s largest volleyball tournament, the Colorado Crossroads Junior National Qualifier. The athletes, along with their coaches and families, come here from across the U.S. The influx to downtown Denver means big money to the city: about $26 million this time around, the Denver Convention and Visitors Bureau estimates. “The formula Denver uses is very conservative,” said tournament director Kay Rogness. Different cities may use different formulas to calculate the economic impact of an event. The Convention and Visitors Bureau’s formula, provided by the Destination Marketing Association International, factors in the number of attendees and the number of booked hotel rooms. Nearly 165,000 people have come to Denver in conjunction with the 27th annual edition. Seventy percent of the participants are from out of state. “The tournament has had a 20 percent increase this year,” Rogness said. She said there are 200 more teams competing in the tournament this year than last. The two-weekend tournament, which this year began March 2, is split based on divisions. This weekend, girls ages 12-15 are competing as members of 602 club volleyball teams. The

teams are trying to qualify for the 2013 USA Volleyball Girls’ Junior National Championships in Dallas. “People don’t usually think of women’s sports as an economic engine,” said Rich Grant, a spokesman with Visit Denver. “In Denver, it’s proven to be that way.” Last year, in addition to the volleyball qualifier, Denver hosted the NCAA Women’s Final Four. The estimated economic impact of those two events was $42 million. In August, the state is scheduled to host the Ladies Professional Golf Association’s Solheim Cup in Parker. “For the city of Denver to be able to point to Crossroads has got to be a benefit when they are trying to sell organizations on coming to the city,” Rogness said. When the volleyball tournament is in town, downtown businesses see an increase in customers. Retailers and restaurants capitalize on that bump. “The tournament is welcomed with wide arms,” Denver Pavilions spokeswoman Wendy Manning wrote in an e-mail to The Denver

Post. “Due to the economic impact for the center, Denver Pavilions caters to the tournament.” In February, the shopping center began sending reminders to merchants to ramp up staffing, inventory and specials. During the tournament, the Pavilions offers free pedicabs to and from the convention center. Marco’s Coal-Fired Pizza operated a similar service, transporting teams from hotels to the restaurant. “It moves the needle for sales in the month of March, which tends to be anemic in general in the annual retail-sales cycle,” Manning said. Gap, H&M and Victoria’s Secret — businesses in and near the Pavilions — declined to comment on the tournament’s economic impact. Vendors on the 16th Street Mall extended their hours during the tournament. Jason’s Deli on the mall also extended its hours to capture some of the extra traffic. “We look forward to it every year,” said deli general manager Lane Cammack. “It’s generally the only two weekends out of the year that we’re open.” The tournament spurs a significant uptick in the deli’s revenue during February and March, he said. “It increases our business about 30 percent versus a (weekday),” Cammack said. “I imagine it’s the same for every restaurant, and it just increases their business dramatically.” Adrian Garcia: 303-954-1729, agarcia@denverpost.com, or twitter.com/adriandgarcia

Suspect wanted in Arizona killing arrested in Leadville By Kirk Mitchell The Denver Post

U.S. marshals have arrested a 28year-old man wanted in the execution-style killing of a woman who was speaking with her daughter on the phone when she was fatally shot in San Tan Valley, Ariz. Corey D. Allen was arrested Friday in Leadville for allegedly killing Linda Perelli-Brown, according to a U.S. Marshals news release.

Federal agents arrested Allen without incident in Leadville. “Corey Allen is a great example of the violent offenders my deputy U.S. Marshals and task-force officers hunt down on a regular basis,” said David P.

Gonzales, U.S. Marshal in Arizona. “We never stopped looking for him, and now we hope that Allen’s arrest can give some comfort to the PerelliBrown family.” Allen was booked into the Lake County jail, where he awaits extradition to Arizona.

New policies push for a more uniform use of the symbol. By Jeremy P. Meyer The Denver Post

Six years ago, a colorful “D” arose with the sun. But the poor capital letter wasn’t used by everyone. The Denver logo was to be seen from Highland to lowland, from here to Speer, on Arts and Venues, as well as employee reviews. But, alas, the D has not been used, as then-Mayor John Hickenlooper so hopefully effused. No D’s appeared on Public Works vehicles, which include snowplows now covered with icicles. Instead, some used the city flag or seal. And even street signs resisted the logo’s appeal. Now a new marketing head is seeking a change. And she hopes the full switch to the D won’t be strange. “Changes are really more application than substance,” said marketing director Sarah Kurz. In 2007, Denver made a big marketing move under Hickenlooper to use a new Denver logo for most city-related things. The design was developed by collective brainstorming of 150 marketing experts and voted on by 1,200 citizens. They chose a colorful D composed of purple mountains, a shining sun and a red building reminiscent of the iconic Cash Register Building. The city said the distinctive symbol would represent Denver and its programs, agencies, services and events. But more than 30 city agencies did not make the change, holding tight to their distinct logos on letterhead, business cards, signs and even the city’s fleet. “I don’t know why it was never upheld,” Kurz said. “We are now saying to the departments and agencies under the mayor, ‘You can’t have your own logo.’ ” Kurz’s team has changed the font a bit, enlarging the word “Denver” next to the D on city letterhead and recoloring the phrase “The Mile High City” to blue instead of purple. They’ve also set standards for how the logo should be used to “ensure greater consistency, higher quality and an increased level of professionalism across the city.” “We felt all of the different logos that we came across made it confusing,” Kurz said. “We felt that we should have consistent identification across the city.” The marketing team has created new policies on when the city seal and flag should be used. Basically, the flag should be unfurled only on the flagpole and the city seal should be used only on official documents. Changes will be phased in, and Kurz hopes they won’t cost the city any extra money. No one is being asked to throw out anything with an old logo, just to get the new one when they are ordering new equipment or materials. Fleet vehicles with Denver’s flag on the doors will get the new logo when they are brought in for repairs. City street signs that have the flag will be repainted when they are scheduled to be replaced. Kurz speculates that the city signs

Denver wants its distinctive logo to represent the city and its programs, agencies, services and events. City of Denver will be phased in over at least a dozen years. The request to not use the city seal except for official business caused some pushback from the City Council. Some council members like handing out lapel pins with the city seal and don’t want to be restricted. Others felt handing

out the pins cheapened the use of the seal. At its meeting Monday, the council didn’t come to an agreement on whether to stop handing out lapel pins. Jeremy P. Meyer: 303-954-1367, jpmeyer@denverpost.com or twitter.com/jpmeyerdpost

rendition of Paul McCartney’s “My Love.” The gatherings form a ritual observed for 19 years, without fail, with the family band slowly gaining members as each child has embraced an instrument. They play pop songs and slip into experimentation, eventually polishing numbers they’ll take to frequent public gigs they play as “No. 7” — a band name that reflects how seven Henderson kids have learned under the same roof in preparation for the day they venture into the world. “I want the house to be a place they want to come back to,” Janelle says. “A home base. Do what you need to do at home, but then go out and explore.”

Legislators will press their case for the state auditor to conduct a performance audit of child-protection issues, including a review of caseworker workloads, when Colorado’s Legislative Audit Committee meets Tuesday. Colorado State Auditor Dianne Ray received a letter signed by 24 legislators requesting the performance audit. In the letter, they said they “are particularly interested in work being performed under the Child Abuse Prevention and Training Act grant, the caseload and workload of caseworkers and front-line staff, and the managed care activities and funds throughout Colorado.” Among those signing the letter were state Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, a longtime backer of child-welfare issues; House Majority Leader Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver; and Senate Majority Leader Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora. The auditor will ask the committee for approval Tuesday to conduct a brief review to determine how the audit would be conducted. She will report back once she has developed a plan of action. The audit request follows an eight-day series published by The Denver Post in cooperation with 9News in November. The series found that 72 of the 175 children who died of abuse or neglect in Colorado in the past six years had families or caregivers known to child-protection workers.

Jenna and Jordan Henderson do their schoolwork at the kitchen table at their home in Aurora. The pair are homeschooled, as were their five siblings. At right, their brother Jarec, 18, studies for the English course he is taking at the Community College of Aurora. Photos By Craig F. Walker, The Denver Post school. Jake, 16, once spent an entire school day at Aurora Central in preparation for a musical theater production, but his anticipation centered on something else. “I always wanted to see what lunch looked like,” he says. But those who have worked their way into higher education don’t feel like they missed much by fast-tracking their earlier education at home. “I wouldn’t change it for anything,” says 22-year-old Jeven, now majoring in business management at Metropolitan State University of Denver. “It prepared me specifically for college, but it also prepared me for anything.” The community-college years provide an economical head start on their pursuit of a bachelor’s degree while also allowing time for academic experimentation. And the associate’s degree offers the kids an emotional boost roughly halfway through their higher education. “It was probably easier for me,” says 18-year-old Jarec, the fourth in the academic pipeline who’s about three semesters from finishing at CCA. “If I’d done it first, I wonder if I’d have bailed out. But since I saw someone succeed, I knew it could work.”

Lessons in thrift Once finished with high school studies, each works in addition to taking classes. Thrift is a lesson instilled early on. The family has cars but no car loans. Cellphones are the kids’ responsibility. Home improvements, such as the kitchen project in which Janelle takes particular pride, become do-it-yourself undertakings. Grocery shopping breeds familiarity with off brands and bulk buying power. And while the Hendersons figure they’ve probably saved well into six figures by shaping their children’s education as they have, Janelle says they’ve never sat down and done the math. The kids’ grandmother has presented each of them with a laptop computer before starting community college, but the financing of higher education has unfolded on the fly. In fact, it wasn’t until about two years after Jayde, the old-

est, had been enrolled at community college that the Hendersons even realized they might qualify for financial aid. Now, after becoming familiar with FAFSA — the Free Application for Federal Student Aid — they lean heavily on grants and subsidized loans but take on no more debt than necessary. “I tell them, use as little as you can, and only if you absolutely have to,” says Janelle, who over the years has taken on night jobs to help make ends meet. “They’re very aware of the fact that the more money you take, the more you have to pay back. Think about what you’re doing now because you have to make choices.” Meanwhile, Wayde works multiple jobs — his primary vocation as chaplain at the Denver Rescue Mission, plus a security-guard gig on weekends and a third job leading relationship workshops. Sometimes he has taken on part-time seasonal jobs to provide extras when he isn’t serving as a volunteer basketball coach. Though sleep often comes up last on his to-do list, he remains undaunted by the scope of the family undertaking. “I never think about it,” Wayde says, “until someone asks.” Five of the kids still live in the family’s 2,200-square-foot house, with Jayde and Jeven each having graduated to apartment life. As the pioneer for his parents’ educational vision, Jayde notes how they have seized on different roles to make it work. “There’s a motivational aspect that’s very strong in my mom, a very passionate kind of in-your-face inspirational feel,” Jayde says. “The same comes from my dad but in a more calm manner — he’s got your back at the end of the day. Same thing, but different ways of bringing it across.”

Family band grows Each parent also plays a role in nurturing interest in sports and music. Wayde has coached the kids in basketball right down to the two youngest — Jenna and Jordan, who may well be the most gifted athletically. Janelle, a jazz singer who plays piano,

sparked Jayde’s early interest in keyboards and has fanned musical passions for the rest of the family as well. On Sunday evenings, they gather in a small room in the basement, illuminated by two naked light bulbs, and settle in among a tangle of cords, microphones, amps and instruments. Then the room explodes in sound. Jayde presides over the electric keyboard. Jeven pounds out the beat on drums. Jhia, 20, strums rhythm guitar, while Jarec wails on lead and Jordan delivers the bass line. Jenna picks up an acoustic guitar, and Jake sings a song he’s been practicing in his music class at community college. Meanwhile, Wayde taps out percussion on the bongos and Janelle steps to the mike and belts out her jazz-influenced

Janelle started homeschooling almost by accident after a conversation with a young bookstore cashier who shared her experience with the process. She went home and ordered a preschool curriculum for then-3-year-old Jayde and never looked back. At home, the morning routine begins for the last two Henderson kids, 15-year-old Jenna and younger brother Jordan, with breakfast at 7:30. Lessons start at 8:30 at the kitchen table and run in 45minute blocks for three hours, with a break for lunch — Janelle’s a stickler for nutrition — and then more academics, household chores and homework. The kids branch out for a variety of extracurricular activities outside the home that not only complement their academics but also provide social interaction. The zoo, museums, horseback riding, specialized programs in subjects from engineering to community theater — all the Henderson children have cultivated interests, sports and hobbies outside the house. “The myth or misnomer is that you home-school your kids, they’re all huddled up, never go out, never have friends, dress weird, don’t know how to talk,” Janelle says. “My whole goal was to teach them how to have a life — learn how to explore. I didn’t want to educate them in a way that they’d resent being here. It can’t just be book work.” Naturally, the kids expressed curiosity about life in the teeming halls of public

community college gives them the opportunity to say, ‘How can I apply all that I learn?’ I’ve seen how that works.” For the Henderson kids, the intermediate stop before a four-year school dovetails perfectly with the family academic philosophy — and the family budget. Although they essentially complete their high school studies at 16, they pursue community-college courses while living at home and continuing to participate in public high school sports — most of them at Aurora Central. They take a practice GED exam as well as the College Board’s Accuplacer tests to determine their progress in math, reading and writing. To remain eligible for public-school sports, they wait until they’re 18 before taking the GED to close their high school career. It’s a highly structured system that the Henderson parents, married for 25 years, execute with a tag-team approach: Janelle, who has used an associate’s degree as a steppingstone toward her own mechanical engineering degree, oversees the curriculum — monitoring the kids’ progress through a series of workbooks and tests in five subjects. Wayde, 51, provides the economic engine. “The older I get, the more I understand about how much they’ve had to do,” says 24year-old Jayde, now taking graduate courses at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design. “They’ve been doing this forever for all of us.”

“The new model is about reflection and feedback over time. It asks the teacher to be involved in his or her own professional development on a daily basis throughout the year.” Kevin Aten, chief human-resource officer for the Greeley-Evans school district

Educators get crash course to quell anxiety over new teacher evaluation By Kevin Simpson The Denver Post

gilcrest» In a large meeting room, dozens of educators pored over worksheets that measured the skills of imaginary teachers — practicing for the time, mere months from now, when they’ll be scoring teachers for real in their own schools. Scanning the data, they interpreted observations, keyed that information to a scorecard, assigned ratings and offered hypothetical suggestions to improve teaching practices and the evaluation process. “Anything we can do to make it less frightening and daunting, the better,” said Amy Heinsma, director of instruction for the Weld County Re-4 district that covers Windsor and Severance. Training sessions like this, designed to ease educator angst and explain the process, have been unfolding in preparation for the teacher-effectiveness law — widely known as SB 191 — to roll out statewide in the 2013-14 school year with a sort of trial run. The new evaluation system rates teachers half on professional practices, such as lesson design and their ability to motivate students, and half on student growth through standardized tests and other measurements. Observations, coupled with “artifacts” such as materials found in the classroom, aid principals in identifying a teacher’s strengths and weaknesses and form the basis of ongoing conversations geared toward improvement. But the system veers into uncharted — and somewhat contentious — territory in measuring student growth. Districts can choose from assessments approved by the Colorado Department of Education and then weigh each measure as they see fit. The training at Weld County’s Valley High School, which drew mostly administrators, focused primarily on scoring teachers according to the new state standards.

Mike Gradoz, center, gives instructions to teachers, principals and administrators during a training session for the new teacher-evaluation law last month at Valley High School in Gilcrest. RJ Sangosti, The Denver Post Even as attendees gradually grew more accustomed to the system’s metrics, some raised broader questions that have been repeated at many of the training sessions. They wondered how the teacher ratings might affect hiring practices, whether student test scores can be processed in time to link them to teacher evaluations and if elements of the evaluation will make their districts vulnerable to legal challenges. What they learned was that the complex system will evolve over many years. “It’s a process of continuous improvement,” said Mike Gradoz, the CDE staffer who led the training. Kevin Aten, the chief human-resource officer for the Greeley-Evans school district, praised the transition from what he described as the previous “dog-and-pony show” of acrossthe-table evaluations to a new system that’s “shoulder to shoulder.” “The new model is about reflection and feedback over time,” said Aten,

who will help coordinate the roll-out in his district. “It asks the teacher to be involved in his or her own professional development on a daily basis throughout the year.” Under the law, teachers earn tenure — also called “non-probationary status” — after three consecutive years of demonstrated effectiveness; they can lose that status after two consecutive years of ineffective performance. Results from the first year of implementation won’t penalize teachers rated ineffective but will count for those who earn effective ratings or better. The ratings follow teachers if they move from district to district, creating a “portability” factor that some administrators said could affect hiring decisions. In Colorado, districts can create their own evaluation systems, so long as they meet state standards, or adapt the model crafted by the CDE. “If everyone is doing something different, how will that affect portability?” said Jo Barbie, superintendent of the Weld County Re-1 district that

hosted the training. “That’s an unknown piece. I’d be very cautious of hiring people who come in with nonprobationary status.” But Katy Anthes, the CDE’s executive director for educator effectiveness, said that with the new system “we’re getting closer to consistency than we ever have before.” On the student-growth half of the equation, the CDE continues to work on identifying appropriate assessments, while individual districts consider which ones work and how they should be weighted. Timing could become an issue if test results aren’t compiled before teachers must be evaluated. Districts may experiment with using previous test data or even rolling averages of multiple years to address that issue. Or they could tweak their testing cycle to ensure that current-year data is available. “It’s going to evolve, especially on the assessment end of it, the growth part,” said Bridgette Muse, director of student services for the Eaton School District. “It’s going to be an ongoing process.” Eaton has moved forward on a couple of fronts. By having teachers do self-assessments based on the CDE evaluation rubric, everyone gains an understanding of how the system works. And by piloting some browserbased software, the district hopes to make the process simpler by allowing an evaluator to type notes, tag them and have those notes automatically linked to the appropriate element of the evaluation. But Mark Naill, principal at Eaton High School, figured that he’ll wade into the system slowly, with pencil and paper. “I know I’m going to do this by hand for a while,” he said. “As an evaluator, you want to understand this completely.” Kevin Simpson: 303-954-1739, ksimpson@denverpost.com or twitter.com/ksimpsondp

Englewood settles with deaf man By Monte Whaley The Denver Post

A settlement agreement between a deaf man and the Englewood Police Department requires the department to provide qualified signlanguage interpreters to deaf people who are arrested, questioned or detained. The agreement, announced Friday, is the result of a federal lawsuit filed by William Lawrence and the Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition last May. The suit claims that on Aug. 13, 2011, Lawrence was arrested at his home on an outstanding warrant from Jefferson County. Englewood police refused to offer or provide Lawrence with a sign-language interpreter during his questioning. Police also handcuffed him. Lawrence wasn’t able to effectively communicate with anyone for at least a day until he was transferred to the Jefferson County Jail, which provided him with a sign-language interpreter, said Kevin Williams, the coalition’s legal director. “He wasn’t violent; he wasn’t resisting in any way,” said Williams. “To not provide him a way to communicate violates the basic principle of personal liberty.” Lawrence, who has been deaf since birth, uses American Sign Language to communicate. Williams said that, as with many deaf people, Lawrence’s understanding and comprehension of written English is diminished. Englewood police said they communicated with Lawrence through handwritten notes and by talking with Lawrence’s hearing roommate, the coalition said. The lawsuit says those are inadequate forms of communication and are unlawful under the Americans With Disabilities Act. Englewood police couldn’t be reached for comment. Englewood denied any wrongdoing and liability, according to the settlement agreement.

Colorado looks to update coroner laws Bill would revise death-investigation protocol in system that has roots in Old West By Kristen Wyatt The Associated Press

last week to argue for an overhaul. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look at this bill as modernizing what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already doing,â&#x20AC;? Thomas told lawmakers. Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 63 county coroners are mostly elected and arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t required to have a medical degree. They operate under laws written in the days when Western coroners did little more than collect bodies after frontier shootouts. To qualify, candidates must be over 18 with a high school diploma or equivalent. Medical training is required later, but it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a prerequisite. States still using elected county coroners tend to be Western. Idaho, Nebraska, Nevada and Wyoming also rely on county coroners rather than state medical examiners. Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coroners determine cause of death, based on the medical training they take after election. In

It was a suspicious suicide, an apparent self-inflicted gunshot in which the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyfriend had a trail of deceased former romantic partners, and Douglas County Coroner Lora Thomas wanted to investigate. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when she ran into Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s antiquated Old West-style coroner system. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear whether her office, or the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, should investigate. The clock was ticking, and evidence was fading. After haggling for hours over who would do the examination, Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; office got the body and concluded the death was indeed a suicide, with foul play ruled out. But the case helped bring Thomas to the Colorado Capitol

about 2 percent of cases where the cause is suspect, or the coroners believe more information is needed, a medical examiner is summoned to perform an autopsy. Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coroner law was revised in 2011 to settle the question of when autopsies are required. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill continues that work by dusting off other arcane bits of Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death-investigation protocol. The coroner-update bill states that law enforcement must call coroners as soon as a body is discovered â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not after a potential crime-scene investigation is complete, as happened in the Douglas County suicide. The coroner bill also eliminates the grisly but out-of-date practice of removing pituitary glands in autopsies. Located at the base of the brain, pituitary glands once were routinely removed

during autopsies because they contain human growth hormone. Growth hormone has been artificially produced for decades, and pituitary collections had stopped by the 1980s, but the grim provision remains on Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books. Suicide notes are another delicate question addressed in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coroner update. Currently, the question of who keeps suicide notes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; coroners or cops â&#x20AC;&#x201D; varies by county. The update makes clear that coroners are to keep the notes. The head of the Colorado Coronersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association, Dr. Patrick Allen of Larimer County, said the update is desperately overdue. Coroners need a clear signal that they are the ones who determine how people died, whether deaths are natural or not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our job, to investigate deaths,â&#x20AC;? Allen said.

However, the bill doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go as far as some wish. The National Academy of Sciences concluded in 2009 that coroner systems should be phased out and replaced with board-certified medical examiners. The report noted that coroners have roots in ninth-century England, where their job was to protect the crown from tax evaders. Coroners started being replaced by medically trained examiners in this country as early as the 1870s. The legislature rejected a 2011 bill to study Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elected-coroners system. But the delicate job of modernizing the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s system is slow work. John Jackson, Greenwood Village police chief and the head of the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police, said law enforcement still needs to play a role. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some rural coronersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offices simply do not have the resources to deal with crime scenes,â&#x20AC;? Jackson told the Senate.

The History Channelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fivepart blockbuster miniseries, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bible,â&#x20AC;? has some bigger names on its list of script consultants than it does on the cast. The March 3 premiere drew 13.1 million views, making it the biggest hit on cable TV this year. Producers Mark Burnett, of reality-TV show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Survivorâ&#x20AC;? fame, and his wife, actor Roma Downey, known for her role in the series â&#x20AC;&#x153;Touched by an Angel,â&#x20AC;? have said they want Americans to be Bible-literate. They vetted this CGI specialeffects telling of stories from Noahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ark to the Easter Sunday finale, the death and resurrection of Jesus, with a long list of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s religious-media superstars. Among the consultants are best-selling authors and trendsetters such as Saddleback Church Pastor Rick Warren, Lakewood Church Pastor Joel Osteen, Oak Hills Church minister Max Lucado and Potterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s House CEO Bishop T.D. Jakes. Local evangelical heavy hitter Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family, has said that during his consultations on the project over six months he has gotten to know and become friends with Downey and Burnett. Daly told The Denver Post in a telephone interview that it had been good working with people who sincerely wanted to whet peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appetites for the Bible. It was a tall order to take all the great stories of the Bible and condense them into 10 hours of television, he said, but he thinks they did a good job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a paraphrase,â&#x20AC;? Daly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope we can all take a deep breath and relax and enjoy it.â&#x20AC;? He also gives the producers credit for even tackling the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it,â&#x20AC;? Daly blogged Feb. 27, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it takes some moxie to lift up the Bible in the middle of Hollywood. In fact, when they first proposed the project they were told to try and tell the story without mentioning Jesus. They refused.â&#x20AC;? Grace Hill Media publicist Gary Schneeberger, who represents Burnett and Downey to faith media, said the couple â&#x20AC;&#x153;took very seriously the input they received from consultants.â&#x20AC;? Burnett and Downey, in an emailed comment to The Post, said Daly provided helpful feedback in early script reviews and became a friend in the process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We understood from the beginning the responsibility we had in bringing the Bible to television,â&#x20AC;? they wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to make it accessible and exciting for young people, but equally reverential and accurate.â&#x20AC;? They said they also had Denver-area pastor Dr. Bob Beltz of Highline Community Church on board as one of their earliest advisers. Downey and Burnett also asked the opinion of politically powerful religious figures, such as Dr. Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Conventionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, and Na-

SNOW «FROM 1B Kansas border. On Friday, forecasters had said Denver could pick up 1 to 2 inches an hour between 5 a.m. and 8 p.m., and many forecasts called for a foot of snow or more, but by early Saturday evening the city had only about 3 inches of accumulation. The northern Front Range got more than 7 inches, and the foothills picked up between 10 and 15. Denver International Airport canceled more than 600 flights Saturday, more than one-third of those normally scheduled, but noted that many of the canceled flights were smaller commuter flights headed for the mountains or plains. The airport expected normal operations Sunday. The temperature peaked at 35 degrees just after midnight Friday and was 29 degrees at 3 p.m. Saturday. “Liquid snow,” said Eileen Bishop of Lakewood about her wet hair as she waited at a crossing light at Champa Street on Denver’s 16th Street Mall. “I didn’t bring a hat, because I wasn’t going to be out that long. This kind of snow is just annoying.” City streets were slushy and wet but easily passable, the Colorado Department of Transportation said throughout the storm. Forecasters expect a Sunday afternoon high near 40, with no additional snow in the week’s forecast. The high is expected to bounce back up to a seasonal 48 degrees Monday, then 57 on Tuesday, 60 on Wednesday, and 64 on Thursday and Friday.

AGATE «FROM 1B Aaron Brachfeld, who lives a few miles south of Agate, said he has spoken to locals and that many wonder why Southwestern Energy of Houston, which has a permit to drill in northern Elbert County, hasn’t inquired about hiring local residents. He estimated about 40 people live in Agate proper, while others live on ranches nearby. “Even if it would be three or four jobs, that’s 10 percent of Agate,” Brachfeld said. “That’s a major employer.

Snow surrounds a jogger and her dog as they run through the Park Hill neighborhood Saturday. Snowfall in Denver fell far short of some predictions. Kathryn Scott Osler, The Denver Post “The melt-off will start by Sunday,” said Nezette Rydell, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Boulder. “It’s going to be lovely.” Before Saturday, forecasters predicted the storm could leave up to 16 inches on Denver.

“It hasn’t been piling up like we expected,” said Bernie Meier, meteorologist for the Weather Service. “It has been melting more than we thought.” Accumulation varied widely across the region — from 15.8 inches in Coni-

fer to inches in Boulder. Nederland, which sits 2,800 feet higher than Boulder, got more than 11 inches by the afternoon. Road conditions forced organizers of Frozen Dead Guy Days in Nederland to scale back events Saturday, postponing them un-

“There had been talks that there would be jobs created, but there were no jobs created and people are frustrated. No one’s gotten a job, and no one’s heard of anything.” County planner Carolyn Parkinson said there were several public meetings held to help Agate-area residents become familiar with the project. “During the hearings, there were talks about that,” she said, “and Southwestern said there would be opportunities for jobs.” Southwestern Energy wouldn’t acknowledge its plans to drill in Elbert County — even though pipe has been delivered, a permit was issued by the

county in November and county officials say the project is a go in the next few months. Southwestern spokeswoman Susan Richardson would only say the company is redrilling an existing well near Strasburg, in Arapahoe County. Schlegel said the Elbert County test well likely will require only a small crew working for maybe a month or six weeks. Depending on what is discovered, there could be horizontal production wells drilled, and that could require fracking, the controversial process of pumping water, sand and chemicals under high pressure into wells to frac-

ture rock and release underground deposits of oil and gas. The area is so unpopulated, Schlegel said there is not much chance of conflict with homes or businesses. “The good thing is it’s a remote area of the county,” he said. “Hot-button issues such as setbacks don’t apply to homes in the area.” After the exploratory well is completed, Southwestern Energy will have up to six months to disclose its findings, Parkinson said. The company could then decide to use the well to produce, drill more test holes or leave, she said. If the initial test drill is successful,

til Sunday, the final day of the threeday annual festival. Colorado 119 was closed Saturday morning after two Regional Transportation District buses slid across the highway, blocking traffic, said Sgt. Mike Baker, spokesman for the Colorado State Patrol. Several other vehicles slid off the highway, but there were no reported accidents, he said. Interstate 70 was closed near the Eisenhower Tunnel for much of the day Saturday because of multiple accidents and slide-offs — and traffic was slow because of wrecks near Loveland Pass and Strasburg as the storm moved east. CDOT had about 75 plows in metro Denver and close to 340 across the Front Range and the Eastern Plains on Saturday, while another 30 plows worked the I-70 corridor between C470 and Vail. Saturday’s snow forced the cancellation of several events up and down the Front Range. The Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra canceled its Saturday-afternoon performance of “Carnival of Animals” because of the snow, the Greeley Tribune reported. Major League Soccer moved the Colorado Rapids’ match against the Philadelphia Union from Saturday to Sunday at 1 p.m. All tickets issued for the match will be honored Sunday. The match will be broadcast live on Altitude. Joey Bunch: 303-954-1174, jbunch@denverpost.com or twitter.com/joeybunch Staff writer Kirk Mitchell contributed to this report.

more wells are likely to be drilled in that area, and perhaps then jobs would be available. And down the road, taxes from the oil and gas drilling will come back to Elbert County from the state. And it could be Agate’s last chance. By then, perhaps restaurants and stores will have popped up, saving Agate from being just an interstate exit to nowhere. “If they’re doing a lot of activity out there, it could be a regenerator for reviving Agate,” Parkinson said.

Ann Freeman Emrich, 86, died surrounded by her three sons after a courageous struggle against illness on Tuesday, February 26, 2013. Ann was born in Greeley, Colorado, the fifth child of an Eastern Colorado banker/ rancher and a teacher. Graduating from Greeley High School, and having started writing for the "Greeley Tribune" at 16, she went on to the University of Colorado at Boulder, pledged Alpha Phi and majored in Journalism. She graduated, as a member of national honor society Mortar Board, with a Bachelors degree in 1947. She completed her Masters degree in Radio & Television journalism from the University of Illinois in 1948. A prolific and curious writer and reporter, she worked for radio stations in Greeley and Denver where she met her future husband, Paul Emrich. She continued to write throughout her life, for the "Denver Post" Zone editions, and as alumnae editor for the national "Alpha Phi Quarterly," among others. She held nearly every office in the Denver alumnae chapter of Alpha Phi, and in 1986 was presented with the Alpha Phi Michaelanean Award for her longtime work for the sorority. From singing in the church choir, to wordsmithing her clever poems, researching her ancestors' interesting history, knitting, or playing bridge or any possible word game, Ann was always game for a new experience, or a new friendship. Paul preceded her in death in 2010. A devoted and proud mother of Ron, Gary and David, she is survived by them, their spouses, grandchildren Paul and Danielle, and several nieces and nephews, who are forever grateful for our extraordinary mother, grandmother and aunt.

During his career Kent was involved in many outside activities serving on and chairing committees for both the American Bankers and Colorado Bankers Associations. He was especially pleased to serve on the board of the Colorado Graduate School of banking where he eventually became chairman. For years Kent was listed in Who's Who in America. In Colorado Springs he served on many community boards including Citizens Goals for Colorado Springs, the Colorado Springs Symphony, the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce, Goodwill Industries, Pikes Peak United Way, the Air Force Academy Foundation, The Fine Arts Center, and as a Trustee of Colorado College. Kent also served as president of the El Paso Club. Kent felt that he had a lot of good fortune; the best was the support and help that he received from Marilyn. She was not only his beloved wife, but also, in his opinion, the main factor in whatever success he did enjoy.

Snowshoers make landscape their canvas By Nichole L. Ballard Rawlins Times

rawlins, wyo.» Sonja Hinrichsen is internationally known for her snow drawings — intricate patterns etched into a snowfield with snowshoes. She organized a communal art project Feb. 16-17, and for Hinrichsen and local participants it has opened up a new point of view. “I’m seeing it as a positive thing,” Hinrichsen said. Now she can focus on smaller, more intricate patterns she can make by herself. “It’s really more

about how the work is embedded in the landscape than about how big it becomes or how much area I cover.” Hinrichsen is an alumna of the Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts residency program and a current resident artist. She began the project in Colorado in 2009 when snowshoeing for the first time. About 10 people helped with the snow drawing that weekend. Clarke Turner was one of the participants who drove in from Casper for the two-day project. “I have always enjoyed crosscountry skiing and snowshoe-

ing to experience Wyoming’s wonderful outdoors, yet I have never had the same perspective that Sonja gave us that weekend,” Turner wrote. “She looked at the landscape as her canvas, and as a result I saw the land in a different light.” Sally Patton agrees with Turner’s new perspective. Patton has been trying new ways to stay fit, she said. When she attended the Brush Creek Presents, where resident artists showed their skills and discussed art projects, Patton knew she had to join in Hinrichsen’s communal snow

drawing. “It was one of my more fabulous experiences,” Patton said. When Patton arrived at Brush Creek Ranch on Feb. 16 to join the art project, her first impression of Hinrichsen’s plan for the snow drawing was, “This looks so mathematical.” The drawing representing the art they were supposed to make by trekking through the snow in snowshoes was a complex diagram of circle designs. After hours of snowshoeing, and an episode with the ranch dogs ruining the fresh canvas of snow, Patton said her pedometer informed her she had covered 2.62 miles. Patton returned Sunday to continue the project, but yet another storm was on the horizon. After she worked from morning to noon, the wind whipped and whisked the snow drawing away. The art she had created lasted only for a day. Still, Patton said the experience was worth it: “I will never look at a field of snow the same way again.”

Skywatch Comet Pan-STARRS is now nearest the sun, where solar radiation is having its greatest effect on the cometâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ice and gas. Is it enough to make the comet visible to the naked eye? Look low in the west after sunset to find out.

National forecast: A vigorous storm system over the Mississippi Valley will produce unsettled conditions throughout the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s midsection as we close out the weekend. Strong to severe thunderstorms will be a good bet in parts of the Deep South. Heavy rain and melting snow may lead to flooding in parts of the Midwest and Great Lakes. Meanwhile, a band of heavy snow will break out in the cold air following this system, mainly in parts of the Missouri Valley.

Bu≠s’ home loss could be costly OREGON STATE 64, COLORADO 58

By Tom Kensler The Denver Post

boulder» As it turned out, having “laid an egg” with an awful performance Saturday against Oregon State did not affect Colorado’s seeding for the Pac-12 Tournament, which begins Wednesday in Las Vegas. The Buffaloes (20-10, 10-8 Pac-12) were the No. 5 seed in the league tourney no matter what happened in

their regular-season finale — thanks to the other challenger for the fifth seed, Arizona State, losing Saturday at Arizona. But there’s no telling what the NCAA Tournament selection committee will think of Colorado’s 64-58 home loss to a previously underachieving Beavers squad (14-17, 4-14) that sits at the bottom of the conference standings. Colorado coach Tad Boyle said he’s not worried about anything past Wednesday. “We’re just going to focus on our next game,” he said when asked

about potential implications of this dud. “If you keep focusing on your next game, good things happen.” Boyle added that his team, which was without star forward Andre Roberson (mononucleosis), had better get itself in the right frame of mind, and in a hurry. The Buffs shot 35 percent from the field, lost the rebounding battle 38-32 and were outscored 37-29 in the second half. Colorado will open the conference tournament at 3:30 p.m. MDT on Wednesday in the MGM Grand Garden Arena vs. 12th-seeded OreBUFFS » 12C

Saturday: Lost to Oregon State to finish 10-8 in the Pac-12 and is seeded No. 5 for the league tournament. Up next: CU plays 3:30 p.m. Wednesday against Oregon St. Where they stand: The Buffs, coming off a win over nationally ranked Oregon, fell to the conference’s worst team at home. They had better win a couple in the Pac-12 Tournament to secure an NCAA spot.

Saturday: Beat Nevada to finish 11-5 in the Mountain West and clinch the No. 2 seed in the conference tourney. Up next: CSU opens at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday against Fresno State. Where they stand: The Rams lost three of their final six games heading into the tournament, but with an excellent RPI are almost certain to get at least an NCAA at-large bid.

Saturday: Beat Louisiana Tech to finish 16-2 and co-champion in the Western Athletic Conference. Up next: The Pioneers will be seeded first or second — highest RPI ranking wins the tiebreaker — in the WAC Tournament. They open Thursday. Where they stand: Despite a great finish, the Pioneers will need to win the WAC tourney to get an NCAA bid.

It was his mad moment, 36 seconds of unadulterated honesty in front of the metaphorical media firing squad. “Most of the people are going to say, ‘You can’t win without a star.’ I’m tired of it. I’m fed up with it. I’ve been angry about it,” Nuggets coach George Karl said last week on the, give or take, seven bazillionth time he’s talked about winning without a star. “It’s a team game. I know Miami won the championship and had a superstar, but they were the best basketball team. Our job is to try to become the best basketball team. I honestly think it can be done. I think it’s silly to not even have one person stand up and say it could be done.” With the Knicks’ Carmelo Anthony returning to Denver on Wednesday — the first time since the NBA star forced a trade from the Nuggets in February 2011 — the star debate is back in play. Two years later, the smaller-market Nuggets still don’t have a star, though with the way point guard Ty Lawson is playing, that perception could change within the next year. But by all indications, the Nuggets made out well in the Melo deal, star or no star. Denver is rolling along at 42-22 and in a fight for home-court advantage in the playoffs, possibly even a No. 3 seed in the West. Denver is the third-youngest team in the NBA. All of its key players are under contract for next season, though Andre Iguodala could opt out. NUGGETS » 5C

Rockies’ menu could use some new chow

scottsdale, ariz.» t a back booth in an Old Scottsdale Italian restaurant the weathered, leathered coach of many a major-league spring training chewed on chicken fontina and the Rockies: “Good hit, no pitch,’’ he said between bites. “Worst rotation in baseball.’’ That’s not a news flash. So, what’s his guileful guidance? “Pray for 15-13 games at home and rainouts on the road.’’ How about some unsolicited advice from this prickly Cactus League observer: Trade today for pitchers Chris Capuano and J.A. Happ. The Rockies’ proposed five starters — Jorge De La Rosa, Jhoulys Chacin, Juan Nicasio, Jeff Francis and Drew Pomeranz — won 13 and lost 26 last season. The alternative five — which replaces Pomeranz with newcomer Chris Volstad — was 14-29. Two other possible starters — Tyler Chatwood and Christian Friedrich — were a combined 10-14. The Giants’ starters won 71 in 2012. It has been predicted in many quarters (and taverns) that the Rockies won’t win 71 games total in 2013. PAIGE » 8C

Snow postpones Rapids to Sunday

Peyton Manning had a pretty good first season with the Broncos, throwing for 4,659 yards and 37 touchdowns and finishing runner-up as the NFL’s most valuable player — after returning from neck surgery. Joe Amon, The Denver Post

Second City? New first rivalry

e need to start a new blood feud. Who is there for Colorado sports fans to hate (in a good way)? Here’s hoping all those bandwagon Blackhawks fans who showed up wearing a red No. 88 to the Can didn’t cut the price tag out of their replica jerseys, so they could return the merchandise within 24 hours after the Avalanche trashed Chicago 6-2 on Friday night. “To end their streak is a good feeling,” said Avs defenseman Erik Johnson, happy to be on the first team in 25 games this season to beat Chicago in regulation. “There’s definitely going to be some animosity going forward.” As the final seconds of the third period ticked down, Avalanche fans taunted all the Hawks interlopers in the house with this chant: “End of streak! End of streak!” Al Davis is dead, and the Broncos’ rivalry with the Raiders isn’t feeling so hot itself. The Rockies? Please. They are the baseball equivalent of a homecoming win. No city hates the Rockies. They’re cuddly losers. Rocky the mascot vs. Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook might be as close to bad blood as we have in this sports town. When the feud is based on a point guard blocking a furry mascot’s shot during a timeout, I’m not sure if the ESPN folks at “30 for 30” are going to be rolling in to shoot a docudrama anytime soon. It has been almost sixteen years since Avalanche goalie Patrick Roy duked it out with Mike Vernon at center ice in Detroit. We need a fresh beef. In a realignment plan approved last week by NHL players, Colorado will soon be moving to a new division. The best part for the Avs? Goodbye, Edmonton. Hello, Chicago. “That could start a rivalry,” Johnson said. As a child of Midwest winters, where the sun was no more than a rumor from Halloween until Easter, I happily fled to Colorado. The Blackhawks are a better hockey team than the Avalanche, at least until Gabe Landeskog and Matt Duchene hit their prime. But, as the hundreds of Windy City refugees in the Avs’ arena can attest, when you’re talking Denver vs. Chicago? It’s no contest. This could be the start of something beautiful.

The Rapids postponed their home opener Saturday against the Philadelphia Union as a blizzard built up over Colorado. Instead, the Rapids will host the Union on Sunday at 1 p.m. “As always, the safety of our fans, staff and athletes is paramount, and the conditions in the Denver area preclude the game from being played today as originally scheduled,” said Major League Soccer vice president Nelson Rodriguez, who is in Colorado to attend the match. The Rapids planned to play with a bright orange ball and bright orange lines on the field, making them easier to see in a snowstorm. Also, the Rapids planned to give “white out” towels to fans attending the match at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City. MLS commissioner Don Gar-

ber said last week he could rarely recall many MLS games called off because of snow. A blizzard warning was in effect for the Denver area, but warmer-than-expected temperatures sapped the strength of the storm. The snow was expected to end before 10 p.m. Saturday. Forecasters expect sunny skies and a high near 40 degrees Sunday with no additional snow in the forecast. A travel advisory was issued for Adams County, where up to 14 inches of snow and 40 mph wind had been forecast before the storm lost steam. All tickets issued for the Rapids-Union match will be honored Sunday. Tickets are on sale at coloradorapids.com. The match will be televised live on Altitude. Denver Post staff and wire services

Is Manning overpaid? Tell that to QB’s face Paying the toll. Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil likely is overpaid at $12 million per year. It is surprising the payroll situation with Peyton Manning on the team has come to a head so quickly. The Manning Toll, so to speak. That is, having him on your team is so prohibitively expensive that you have to cut corners at other positions, possibly weakening the team overall as much as he improves it. It’s not like Manning hasn’t been paid during the course of his career. He has enough money to buy an eye-popping number of pizza franchises, a multimillion-dollar mansion and a stake in a pro basketball team for his wife. If he is the ultimate team guy, with a burning desire to win, why won’t he take a pay cut or defer some money? Larry, Centennial Kiz: OK, I’m with you on the envy

regarding the pizza franchises. Heck, it makes me gain five pounds just thinking about the scent of that yummy cheese bubbling in all those ovens. But Manning came to Denver on a contract that was originally guaranteed for only one season, finished second in the league voting for most valuable player, and now you demand he take a pay cut? Wow, can I sit back and watch the fireworks show when you call Manning into your office and inform him of your hard-line stance?

Money matters. In regards to your sympathy for Dumervil during this time the Broncos want to renegotiate his contract, what happened to: At some point, you’ve made enough money? Bill, king of the road Kiz: Fans love the fact that in the NFL, if millionaires don’t perform to the highest standard, their pay can be slashed. And I don’t blame fans for liking to see football millionaires get hit hard in the wallet. But let me ask, in regards to another great principle of American business: Shouldn’t a contract be worth more than the paper it’s printed on?

Ice not so nice. You obviously never played hockey, idiot. On Friday, you

wrote: “The most bogus ‘winning’ streak in the history of American sports has rolled into Denver. And the Colorado Avalanche is just the team to put an end to it, by beating the Chicago Blackhawks.” Spoken like a guy that doesn’t have a clue. I won’t waste my time explaining it to you. Ricardo, Trinidad Kiz: Well, glad you asked. In college, my dorm floor rented ice time late at night. I played goalie, and was quite possibly the worst-skating netminder in the sport’s history. I played butterfly style (my story, sticking to it), because I fell down a lot. But no clue? Avs 6, Chicago 2. No more explanation required.

Big, bad shoulders. You are such a hater. If you come to Chicago, make sure you look me up, so I can show you and your sorry (rump) what we do to people who talk (trash) about our Blackhawks. Jose, badder than Leroy Brown Kiz: OK, where are you taking me for dinner when I get to Chicago? That’s what you meant, right? Being a kid of Polish heritage who grew up in the Midwest, I am partial to the food at Staropolska on N. Milwaukee.

What Miller meant. And today’s parting shot was a widely circulated criticism by sticks in the mud, when Broncos linebacker Von Miller vowed to win the Super Bowl to honor a young cousin recovering from a car accident. Here at Kickin’ It Headquarters, we’re not smart enough to know what a pedant is. We can only hope one will take the time to teach us the meaning. If Miller is saying the Broncos will win the Super Bowl in 2013, his guarantee is already in the toilet. The Ravens won the Super Bowl in 2013. I know, it’s tough keeping track of what year it is. JE, stickler for detail

After a big win against Chicago, Zanon turned into a raving lunatic in the Avalanche dressing room, cursing out a media member for “trespassing” over a team logo woven in the carpet. Way to represent the “A,” big guy. Did Joe Sakic, Adam Foote or Peter Forsberg ever act so bush league? Nope.

Coburn wins NCAA title, nearly breaks meet record fayetteville, ark.» The University of Colorado’s latest distance running star, Emma Coburn, added to her list of glittering accomplishments Saturday by winning the mile at the NCAA Division I Indoor Championships, nearly breaking the meet record. “We’ve had some great milers at Colorado, so it’s such an honor to be the first NCAA champion amongst them,” Coburn said. “I’m proud and really happy. It’s been a great season.” An Olympian last summer in the steeplechase, Coburn finished in 4 minutes, 29.91 seconds, only 0.19 off the meet record set by Tennessee’s Sarah Bowman in 2009. Florida State’s Amanda Wilson finished second, 1.9 seconds behind Coburn. “She chose to do it in a difficult and courageous way by taking the lead right from the gun,”

said CU coach Mark Wetmore. “It’s very rare to run that way and it’s scary. But Emma has learned to run that way in the steeplechase, to get out of the collision course. She pulled the field and they started to fall off, although probably not as fast as she would have wanted them to, but she closed well to end her indoor career on a very high note.” Coburn won the steeplechase at the 2011 NCAA Outdoor Championships and is a twotime U.S. champion in that event. She finished ninth at the London Olympics. “This was something I really wanted, and the mile is not my specialty,” Coburn said. “I wanted to really conquer this distance and I think I made a step in the right direction.” CU’s Aric Van Halen finished 15th in the men’s 3,000 meters. The Denver Post

Ball in tree can’t faze Tiger doral, fla.» Tiger Woods hit a tee shot that got stuck in a palm tree. That’s about the only thing that didn’t fall his way Saturday in the Cadillac Championship. Woods made seven more birdies on the Blue Monster at Doral, the last one from 15 feet on the 18th hole that gave him a 5-under-par 67 and a four-shot lead over Graeme McDowell heading into the final round. McDowell was six shots out of the lead with three holes to play when he tried to keep it close. His drive on the 16th finished just over the green, and he chipped in for eagle. He picked up another shot on the 17th when Woods’ tee shot embedded high into the trunk of a palm tree. Once his ball was identified, he took a penalty drop and made bogey. “After I made birdie on 15, I was looking pretty good with a six-shot lead, and with a drivable par-4,” Woods said. “Two holes later, it’s now cut down to three. I piped a tee shot down

there, hit a little 9-iron there and was able to pour that putt in there.” Phil Mickelson overcame a three-putt from 4 feet for double bogey on the third hole by making four birdies the rest of the way. He shot a 69, along with Steve Stricker, and both were five shots behind. The Associated Press

Al Horford finished with 15 points and 12 rebounds for the Hawks, who seemed lethargic after losing in overtime at Boston on Friday. Atlanta has lost two straight and five of six. Brooklyn had a better performance coming off its 17point home victory over Washington on Friday in which Williams set the NBA record with nine 3-pointers in a half and scored a seasonhigh 42 points.

Knicks 113, Jazz 84 B new york» J.R. Smith scored 24 points and New York shook off the absence of Carmelo Anthony and the shock of Amar’e Stoudemire needing more knee surgery to rout Utah. The Knicks learned earlier Saturday that Stoudemire will have right knee surgery that will sideline him approximately six weeks. Alec Burks scored 14 points for the Jazz, which completed a 0-4 road trip that dropped them into a tie with the Lakers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Wizards 104, Bobcats 87 B washington» Washington never trailed and shot 50 percent as they handed Charlotte its 10th straight loss, most of which haven’t been competitive. The Bobcats have been outscored by an average of 21.5 points during the skid.

Nuggets Recap

Furious George. He typhooned onto the court, pushing aside an assistant coach — and a power forward — all the while spewing expletives with the fury of a drunk Snooki. Late in Saturday’s third quarter, with the George Karl-coached Nuggets up by 10 points, Ty Lawson was called for a questionable charge and Karl erupted. Soon, his team did too. The Nuggets finished off Minnesota 111-88, thanks to a 36-23 run after Karl’s technical foul, giving Denver its eighth consecutive victory. “I’m definitely a believer that Ty doesn’t get many calls — and when he gets one taken away from him, it angers me,” Karl said. “It’s that time of the year where everyone’s a little grumpy.” Lawson was masterful again. The little guy scored 32 points, doing so on 12-for-17 shooting overall and a 4for-4 effort from 3-point range. “First half, we played terrible and Coach let us know it. But we regrouped,” Lawson said. “They beat us last time with a trap game. We didn’t want history to repeat itself, so we came out strong in the second half. I was able to get into open space, get the shots and knock them down.” The Nuggets entered Saturday with a sparking 27-3 home record, tarnished only by the defending champion Heat, the Denver-slaying Wizards and the Timberwolves. Yes, it was Jan. 3, and the Nuggets were coming off an eye-catching win against the Clippers, who had previously won 17 consecutive games. But against the Wolves, the Nuggets sputtered, allowing J.J. Barea to go bonkers in the fourth quarter, scoring 12 points in the Minnesota road win. Well, revenge is a dish best dished. The Nuggets tallied 14 assists in the second half, in a game that in the third quarter was tied at 57-57. Much to the delight of the “Brew Crew” in section 136, Corey Brewer had a big night. The former Minnesota lottery pick, now a key Nuggets reserve, was a blur all night, swooshing down court in transition. The slithering, sinewy forward finished with 15 points, the second-most on the team, and did so on 7-for-13 shooting. All the while, the new group in the yellow T-shirts went bananas, holding up those big-head things of Brewer like the college kids do these days. “Corey’s just a great runner, and tonight his curling and cutting was effective,” Karl said. “And we have a lot of confidence in him jump-starting our game.” The Nuggets now head into what may be the biggest week of their sea-

What you might have missed Nuggets center JaVale McGee was minus-7 in his first six minutes, while committing two fouls, so he didn’t play much for the night. McGee finished with eight points and three boards in 12 minutes. … Every Minnesota player finished in the minus, with reserve J.J. Barea tallying the worst at minus-17, though he was the team’s second-highest scorer with 15.

Final thought Taking care of business.

NUGGETS JOURNAL

Lawson playing like great guard By Benjamin Hochman The Denver Post

hese days, there are so many acronym advanced stats that there may well be one called ACRONYM. And in the NBA, there are so many intangibles that make point guards points guards. But when you simplify things, the Nuggets’ Ty Lawson is playing at a Parker-Westbrook-Curry level these days. In fact … Here is the Spurs’ Tony Parker for the season: averages of 21 points and 7.6 assists. The Thunder’s Russell Westbrook: 23.4 points and 7.7 assists. The Warriors’ Stephen Curry: 22.1 points and 6.7 assists. And here is Lawson in the past 25 games entering Saturday: 20.8 points and 7.6 assists.

Lawson has been sensational for this stretch — when does a stretch become just the way a guy plays? — notably because of the confidence in his midrange jumper, which leads to more baskets (of course) but also opens up other aspects of his game. “He’s obviously having a terrific impact on their team. They’re a very good team,” said Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman, who watched Lawson falter earlier in the season, back in Minneapolis, when Lawson was more tentative. “Their guard play is a huge reason for their success. He gets them in the open court, gets them easy baskets. And that’s why they’re where they are, knocking for that homecourt advantage.” For Lawson, it’s all about becoming a leader, which is trickier for a laid-back dude. But Nuggets coach George Karl and opposing coaches (Charlotte’s Mike Dunlap, for one) have said they’ve seen a more demonstrative and

outgoing Lawson on the court. “I think his demeanor, especially in close games, fourth quarter, has been of a leader,” Karl said. “I still think he needs to understand the responsibility that it’s an every-day, every-practice, every-locker room thing. He sometimes wants the locker room and practices to be casual and fun, and the leader has to be the policeman of the team a lot of days, and has to be the director of enthusiasm a lot of days. And that list is long. “Different days have different problems and situations that someone has to drive the car through. That’s the coach’s job, but it’s easier when it’s a shared responsibility. “I define my job of being the policeman — this line is the line. Well, it’s better for me to have other policemen in the locker room and on the staff.”

ering guard, has yet to win the NBA defensive player of the year award. He could get it this season. “For the last few years he has been a very good defender,” Adelman said. “It’s hard to tell why some guys get (recognition) and then some guys don’t. There have been very good defensive players that don’t even get a mention. “I think a lot of times it’s reputation more than anything else to do with the season. I think guys historically that if you looked at them at one point, they were very good defenders and some guys carry the load for their team. When they really buckle down defensively, it is the last 10 minutes of the game.”

High praise. It’s crazy to think that Andre Iguodala, the Nuggets’ smoth-

NBA Report By Benjamin Hochman, The Denver Post

For Pete’s sake, wait on Rubio

he hair. Maybe it’s the hair. People say Minnesota’s Ricky Rubio plays like “Pistol” Pete Maravich, but the stats say Rubio plays like Andre Miller. Now, Maravich was a scorer, but to the casual fan, he’s best known for his circus passes. He would speed down the court, his long hair flapping, before he whisked some acrobatic pass that lit up the grainy footage. That’s how Rubio does it, and he entered the weekend averaging 7.2 assists, along with 8.9 points for the Timberwolves. “I actually think Rubio’s a better passer (than Maravich),” said Nuggets coach George Karl, who played against Maravich. “I think Pistol Pete was a flamboyant passer but more of a scorer, where I see Rubio as a true point guard, a true playmaker. “His length, his flash, there’s no question that there are situations that he actually looks like him on film. He’s got that long gait, and then the ability to handle the ball at a high efficiency level and also a high dribbling level, that’s more Pistol Pete than anybody I’ve seen.” I’ve written before that Rubio is perhaps my favorite NBA player to watch, because of the aura of the prodigy (playing in the Olympics at age 17) and his passes that find holes in the defense that are hard to spot even on film the next day. Right now, though, he’s just an average NBA point guard starting on an injured team suited more for a TNT medical drama than a TNT game on Thursday. But let’s not forget — Rubio is only 22. He has played only 75 games in his NBA career, having had surgery on his left knee. And he has often had to play this season without big-time scorer Kevin Love, who himself is oft-injured. “Organizations are probably frustrated with the injuries. Coaching staffs are probably frustrated with not winning,” Karl said, “but sometimes injuries can be a blessing because you can grow up without the stress of winning. Getting on the court and having repetition.

question ‘Who is the most valuable player in the NBA?’ to the end of eliminating debate. That’s boring. The objective is to give voters a better guideline to adequately assess who the truly best players are in the league during a given season, and provide marks of greatness for the real elements that go into assessing a player. “Let’s stop pretending that defense is the paltry element that doesn’t really mean anything, when coaches rail on it and everyone loves to say ‘Defense wins championships.’ Let’s stop treating individual, high-volume offense with disdain because we can’t see the effect it carries on wins. Let’s leave open the ability for voters to reward having that special ‘it’ quality.”

Remember this guy? It was a sad sight Friday when the video of former Nugget Renaldo Balkman went viral. Balkman is playing in the Philippines, and the self-proclaimed “Kool” lost it. After a noncall, he argued and bumped an official. Balkman then again made contact with the official, shoved aside a teammate trying to separate the two and then pushed away yet another teammate. This guy, team captain Arwind Santos, pushed back, and that’s when Balkman put his hands to the fellow’s neck. Renaldo apologized on Twitter, but the fact is, this will stay with him forever. The whole Balkman saga is a shame. He made a name for himself in college with his hustle and intangibles, and then, once he got paid in the NBA, he lost his focus, didn’t learn the plays and basically just got in the way. It’s a shame, because players such as Balkman — at his best — have a place in this league. One wonders if he will ever be back.

Some forget that the Timberwolves’ Ricky Rubio, driving on the Wizards’ Nene, has played only 75 games in his NBA career. Jim Mone, The Associated Press “He basically hasn’t even had a whole NBA season yet, and the more you play, the better you get.” So perhaps this isn’t a lost season for the Spaniard. But even though his passing resembles Maravich’s, his overall game is lacking. But talk to me in three years.

No M-V-P!? So this guy has an idea. Because the MVP is so subjective — Is it the best player on the best team?

NUGGETS «FROM 1C The Nuggets are under the luxury tax and figure to be well under next season, even if Iguodala stays. And all of this stems from the haul that general manager Masai Ujiri and the front office collected in the blockbuster Anthony trade. The Melo deal resulted in Denver getting current starters Danilo Gallinari and Kosta Koufos, key reserve Wilson Chandler, bench warmer Timofey Mozgov and point guard Raymond Felton — whom the Nuggets flipped for Andre Miller and two draft picks, one that resulted in Denver getting Jordan Hamilton. But actually 10 players on the Nuggets’ roster arrived as an offshoot of the Melo deal. A trade exception allowed Denver to get Corey Brewer from Dallas. Another trade exception from the Felton deal was used, along with Nene, to get JaVale McGee from Washington. A future first-rounder acquired in the Melo deal was included in the big swap that nabbed Iguodala last summer. And Denver used a second-round pick from the Melo trade to draft 19-year-old Quincy Miller. Also, the Nuggets gained the right to swap firstround picks with the Knicks in 2016.

Is it truly about a guy being valuable? — CBSSports.com writer Matt Moore suggested the league get rid of the MVP and give out three major awards: offensive player of the year, defensive player of the year (giving this award more clout) and, finally, a most-impact player award. Sometimes, a guy might win the trifecta. “The goal with my idea,” the Denver-based Moore wrote, “is not to develop a system that answers the

“It was a great trade,” said former NBA guard Steve Kerr, now a TNT analyst. “The pieces all fit really well with a coach who is renowned for player development and uptempo basketball. … In the end, yes, the chemistry is better. It’s not as if the team was winning in the playoffs with Carmelo anyway.” The Nuggets haven’t won without him in the playoffs, either, getting ousted in the first round the past two years, a familiar sight when Melo was a Nugget except for one run to the Western Conference finals. Lawson, who entered the weekend averaging 20.8 points and 7.5 assists in the past 23 games, is the only Nugget left who was on the team with Anthony. “Last of the Mohicans, man,” he said. Lawson was asked: “Let’s say Melo wanted to be a Nugget for life and the trade never happened. Where would the Nuggets be today?” “I think it would be the same,” Lawson said. “Melo actually is playing better in New York. He’s getting everyone involved. He’s making that open pass, which is making him more dangerous, because they can’t just double him. And he’s making the open shot. And his teammates are making shots. “We’ve gotten better on defense, but I think we’d still be the exact same at where we are. Melo brought the scoring aspect, but

I think we’d be the same. … I think we’re a little more dangerous. You don’t know where our scoring is coming from. With Melo, everybody had their focus on him. With us, JaVale might step up. Gallo, Iguodala, we’ve got weapons all over the place.” Clearly, the Nuggets must get beyond the first round for fans to believe the team has improved and for Karl’s theory to begin to prove true. The Nuggets’ goal is to move past the first round of the playoffs in April, and perhaps be a title contender by the following April as their young players mature. Or they could plateau, as it appears the starless Grizzlies could be doing. Two years ago, Memphis extended the conference semifinals series to seven games. It appeared on the cusp of becoming a title contender. Today, the Grizzlies are battling Denver for that No. 4 seed and home-court advantage in the first round. The reality is this: The Nuggets had a star, were forced to trade a star, and an optimist could look at the roster and believe they will be contenders — in coming years — without a star. Which is what Karl believes. “I think it was a win-win for both teams,” Ujiri said. “Both teams have moved on, even though people talk about it. We’re happy with the growth of those players. It’s kind of what we hoped it would be.”

SPOTLIGHT ON …

J.R. Smith, G, Knicks Our old buddy was in the national spotlight Thursday, scoring 36 points on 14-for-29 shooting in a marquee TNT game against Oklahoma City after going scoreless in the first quarter. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, that’s the highest point total for any NBA player this season in a regulation-length game in which he didn’t score during the opening quarter. Alas, Smith missed the final shot of the game, a turnaround jumper that would have won it. The Knicks played without the injured Carmelo Anthony. “Whenever Melo’s out, it’s a close game, (coach Mike Woodson) always gives me the ball,” Smith told the New York Post “He gives me the leeway to do what I think is right. It shows the confidence he has in me as well as my teammates. “One through 15, everyone was expecting me to make it. It didn’t work.” The 36-point effort was impressive, but it reminded us that it takes many shots for the streaky Smith to put up a big number. He did have a good February, shooting 43 percent from the field. But in December he shot 39.5 percent. January was 36.6. Now, in March, he entered the weekend at 37.4. Along with Melo and Kenyon Martin, Smith will make his return to Denver on Wednesday with the Knicks.

NHL Report By Adrian Dater, The Denver Post

Avalanche on board with realignment next season

he first thing I thought when seeing the Avalanche’s new division starting next season: “Oh, goodie. More trips to Winnipeg in the winter and fewer to California!” OK, Winnipeg, sorry. You’re a fine city, a real hockey city. Burton Cummings of the “Guess Who” grew up and still lives there, and plays the occasional unannounced show at local watering holes. Forget about what I think about the NHL’s pending plan to have realignment next season. What do Avalanche players think of playing in the new Midwest Division with Chicago, Dallas, Winnipeg, St. Louis, Minnesota and Nashville? Most players I sampled Friday seemed OK with it, a couple even pleased. “I think the travel will be better for us, because we’ll be coming more from the same time zone or an earlier one. So we’ll get back home earlier after our flights and maybe be a little fresher for the next game because we’ll get more rest,” said defenseman Jan Hejda. Matt Duchene said essentially the same thing. “We got back at a good time from Chicago the other night and I couldn’t believe how much better I felt the next day as opposed to, say, not getting to bed ’til 4 or 5 in the morning like we did a lot coming from Western time zones,” the center said. There is one thing Avalanche defenseman Ryan O’Byrne doesn’t like about the realignment, which needs approval by the NHL’s board of governors. The realignment will have 14 teams in the Western Conference and 16 in the East — with four divisions in all, down from six. That means West teams will have a 14 percent greater chance of making the playoffs next season than East teams.

While O’Byrne admitted the conference split could help the Avalanche, as a member of the NHL Players’ Association, he has some problems with it. O’Byrne wonders if Eastern teams will be hurt competitively, the thinking being that free agents may not want to sign with them because of the playoff chance disparity. “It’s not ideal,” he said. “But it is what it is. It was something we as players went back and forth a lot with the league during the CBA talks, but in the end that’s the way it happened. I’m not sure there’s ever going to be a perfect solution for that stuff.” The NHLPA has the right to reopen discussion on realignment after the 2014-15 season. Expansion, adding two teams, could resolve the disparity in conference splits. But if that happens, one of the teams that will move to the East — Columbus and Detroit — might have to move back to the West. One thing O’Byrne likes about the realignment is the “wild card” playoff concept. Under the proposal, the top three teams record-wise in each division would earn automatic playoff berths. The remaining two playoff berths in each conference would go to the teams with the best records. About the West teams having a 14 percent greater chance of making the playoffs than the East teams? Duchene paused and said: “We’ll take it.” Adrian Dater: 303-954-1360, adater@denverpost.com or twitter.com/adater

Oilers C Ryan Nugent-Hopkins When: The Avs host Nugent-Hopkins and the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday at the Pepsi Center in what figures to be an important division game. What’s up: After a

solid rookie season (many NHL observers thought he would have won the Calder Trophy instead of Gabe Landeskog if not for getting hurt), it’s been anything but a good sophomore season for Nugent-Hopkins. After producing 18 goals and 54 points in 62 games last season, he had only one goal and eight points in 22 games entering the weekend. The Oilers have slipped down the Western Conference standings again, and the young center from Burnaby, British Columbia, has taken a lot of heat for his play. He had no goals and one point in his last nine games entering Friday. Background: After a stellar career with the Red Deer Rebels of the Western Hockey League, Nugent-Hopkins was selected first overall by the Oilers in the 2011 NHL draft, one slot ahead of the Avalanche’s Landeskog. His season ended prematurely because of a shoulder injury and some believe he is still bothered by it. Dater’s take: Sure, he’s having a bad year. But the kid is only 20 years old. He has a ton of talent, and his production last season proved he can play in this league. Still, some wonder if he has the right kind of fire as a player. He is quiet and shy off the ice, and perhaps that translates too much onto the ice. But I think he will be heard from again as a player. He’s too talented for this slump to last.

Spotlight on Scott Gomez: After becoming something of a laughingstock for his outsized contract and paltry scoring production — which led to his contract being bought out by the Montreal Canadiens — Gomez has two goals in his last three games for the Sharks. A former Calder Trophy winner with the New Jersey Devils, Gomez signed a big free-agent deal with the Rangers in 2007.

John Mitchell is 28 and a Canadian, which means he is excused for never having heard of another famous John Mitchell — the late, former U.S. attorney general in the Nixon Administration who served 19 months in prison for his role in the Watergate affair of the early 1970s. “Sorry, before my time,” said Mitchell, who plays left wing on the Avalanche’s third line. Mitchell is making a good name for himself with the Avs. Sacrificed to the free-agent market by the New York Rangers after last season, Mitchell has been quite a find. Entering Sunday’s game against the San Jose Sharks, he has eight goals and 12 points in 22 games and a plus-8 rating. In 63 games with the Rangers last season, he had five goals, 16 points and a plus-10 rating. If this were an 82-game season, Mitchell would be on pace for about 22 goals. “I suppose I’m a little bit surprised, because I only had five last year,” Mitchell said after Avalanche’s practice Saturday. “To have eight (goals) in the midpoint of a short season, it’s certainly nice. Hopefully it can keep going. If I would get to 22 or 24 goals in a full season, that would be a very nice number for me. I would definitely like that.” Mitchell is a natural center, which lends to the surprising nature of his offensive output. While he occasionally played on the wing during his time with the Rangers and, before that, with the Toronto Maple Leafs, he has played center most of his hockey life. That life began in the hockey-all-the-time atmosphere of Oakville, Ontario. Mitchell’s father, also named John, was a hockey player but never made it to the professional ranks. Mitchell showed promise as a skater and became a big scorer on his youth teams. “He saw promise in me and put me in hockey camps and power-skating lessons and things like that,” Mitchell said of his dad. “Any Canadian father who saw the same things would do that.” Mitchell became a fifth-round draft pick of the Maple Leafs in 2003. He played parts of three seasons for Toronto from 2008-10, scoring a career-high 12 goals in 2008-09. But he was traded to the Rangers organization and after some time for their American Hockey League team in Harford, Conn., he played a fourth-line center role for coach John Tortorella’s Eastern Conference finals team last season.

Bullpen workhorse Belisle uses “inner ferocity” to reload as reliever

By Patrick Saunders The Denver Post

scottsdale, ariz.» Jaw set, focus unwavering, intensity palpable, Matt Belisle is the bedrock of the Rockies’ bullpen. Over the past three seasons, the 6-foot-4, 225pound right-hander has pitched 244 innings of relief, ranking second in the majors behind the Washington Nationals’ Tyler Clippard (252). “I call him John Wayne because he’s the strong, silent type,” said Bill Geivett, the Rockies’ director of major-league operations. “Matty is always there for us.” For a team that is a combined 50 games under .500 over the past two seasons, Belisle has been an under-the-radar standout. “There is an inner ferocity in me that says, ‘Look, I’m ready, are you? Here we go,’ ” said Belisle, 32. “I want the foot on the gas pedal, I want to put my foot on the throat and I want to show my teammates that I want the ball in tough situations.” Belisle made 80 appearances in 2012, a franchise record. “There is not a day that Matt doesn’t think he’s pitching, that he doesn’t want the ball in his hand, I’ll tell you that right now,” said Rex Brothers, the club’s left-handed setup man. “If they tell him they’re going to give him a day off, he kind of gives them this look like, ‘What, are you kidding me?’ ” Last season wasn’t Belisle’s best. As the Rockies skidded to a franchise-worst, 98-loss season, Belisle went 3-9 with a 3.71 ERA. That pales next to his breakout 2010 season when he was 7-5 with a 2.93 ERA in 76 appearances. Yet, for a pitcher who spends half his time pitching at Coors Field, Belisle’s 20-17 record and 3.28 ERA over the past three seasons are impressive. Belisle came to the Rockies from the Cincinnati Reds in 2009, signing a minor-league, free-agent contract after having reconstructive knee surgery in the summer of 2008. He was a raw talent with a hop on his fastball, and a good changeup, but no identity. “He was still learning the ropes,” said Rockies pitching coach Jim Wright. “But then he decided, ‘I’m going to take ownership of my career.’ And now it’s developed to where he’s a veteran presence in our bullpen and guy who’s dependable.” There are two keys to Belisle’s development: mental toughness and detailed preparation. “If I prepare to my fullest, then I believe that my consistent thoughts and consistent actions will translate into results,” Belisle said. A successful relief pitcher must have a thick hide, able to forget about poor performances. “That’s been one of the toughest aspects for me, to move on and not lose sleep at night,” he said. “And I have had my share of lost sleep. I take losses very hard. But I’m much better now than I’ve ever been, and it’s something I look to improve every year.” Belisle vividly recalls the lesson he learned during his first full season with the Reds. On April 27, 2005, against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, Belisle entered the game in the eighth inning. He set down the Cubs in order. But in the bottom of the ninth, he threw a changeup that Corey Patterson hit for a game-winning home run. “I was just destroyed,” Belisle recalled. Belisle was still stuck in self-pity mode two days later when the Reds traveled to Milwaukee. That’s when catcher Jason LaRue came calling at the team hotel. “Jason called me and said, ‘I’m coming to your

Matt Belisle, pitching at Rockies spring training in Scottsdale, Ariz., doesn’t react well to losing. “I have had my share of lost sleep. I take losses very hard,” he says. John Leyba, The Denver Post

Reliable Belisle The past three seasons, the Rockies’ Matt Belisle has been one of baseball’s most effective and durable relievers. A closer look, with his majorleague ranking among relievers listed in games and innings pitched: Season Games 2010 76 (11th) 2011 74 (T-13th) 2012 80 (T-1st)

room in 10 minutes,’ ” Belisle recalled. “He chewed me out big time. He told me: ‘You have to learn to be tougher up here. I know you have what it takes, because I can see it. But you have to learn how to turn the page.’ I never forgot that.” Belisle, cut like an NFL safety, is one of the Rockies’ fittest players. Through the years he has developed a program of cardiovascular workouts, weightlifting and nutrition that allows him to shoulder a heavy workload for a 162-game season. He has also learned to train smarter. “Each year I learn a little more about what to add and what to take off,” he said. “I have to be as perfect as I can be at understanding my rest and recovery cycle, because it’s a long season.”

Rockies Briefs TULOWITZKI PUTS ON DAZZLING SHOW tempe, ariz.» Troy Tulowitzki forces fans to pay attention. This spring, the curious watch to see if he’s healthy. Saturday, eyes were affixed on his dazzling displays of athleticism and power. In the second inning, Tulowitzki and DJ LeMahieu executed a double-play ballet. LeMahieu dived to his right and flipped to Tulowitzki, who did a pirouette as he fired a strike to first base. After a double in the second inning, Tulo launched a high fastball from Jason Vargas over the grassy knoll in left field. It’s a special weekend for Tulowitzki. He funded a trip for 18 cancer patients from Children’s Hospital Colorado and spent time with them Friday night.

Belisle’s mentor is Rockies closer Rafael Betancourt, who taught him the importance of preparation. “We became throwing partners and friends,” Betancourt said. “I saw that Matty had talent. Something I told him was that every day you give it 100 percent, and you never take for granted having another day in the big leagues.” Belisle’s day at the ballpark begins with intensive stretching, then he and Betancourt play catch and talk strategy. Next, Belisle goes to the bullpen. “He has his baseball, his glove and his bubble gum all set up in a particular area,” Brothers said. “He has his two bags of (sunflower) seeds ready to go before the national anthem starts. Every game it’s the same. It’s not weird to me anymore, because he does it every day. New guys will come up and ask, ‘What’s he doing?’ But that’s Matty. He locks in every day. It’s his routine, his ritual.” As the Rockies prepare for the 2013 season, their bullpen projects to be a strength. Belisle is expected to be the workhorse again. “I’ve never been a numbers guy,” he said. “I just want to get the ball and keep motoring. I don’t want to reflect on it. I just want to do it.” Patrick Saunders: 303-954-1428, psaunders@denverpost.com or twitter.com/psaundersdp

game against the Royals. Helton, 39, drove in two runs in two at-bats but aggravated the knee in a swing during his second plate appearance. The veteran first baseman made his debut last Sunday. He underwent surgery to repair torn meniscus in November. Helton resumed working out soon after surgery, but the knee bears watching as he plays more this spring.

Footnotes. Nolan Arenado continued his blistering spring with a two-RBI double off Vargas. Arenado has driven in 10 runs in eight games. … Albert Pujols’ first hit of the spring was memorable, a home run on a low sinker that nearly hit the Marriott Buttes resort. “He’s an intelligent hitter,’’ starter Juan Nicasio said of the Angels slugger. … Left fielder Corey Dickerson caught a flyball from the seat of his pants after slipping. … Eric Young Jr., who went 3-for-3, on hitting leadoff: “It’s about creating havoc.’’ Troy E. Renck, The Denver Post

Rockies 8, Angels 6 At Tempe Diablo Stadium Hits: Eric Young Jr. and Tyler Colvin, technically bench players, combined to go 6-for-6. Manager Walt Weiss is intrigued by Young’s leadoff skills and Colvin’s power. “My job is to cause havoc on the bases,’’ Young said. Outfielder Tim Wheeler started the decisive ninthinning rally with a hard single to left. Misses: Juan Nicasio continues to work on his secondary pitches, compromising his results. Unable to locate his slider, the right-hander was in deep counts. Nicasio struck out Mike Trout and Albert Pujols with fastballs. What’s next: Jeff Francis, who hasn’t allowed a run this spring, faces Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw on Sunday at Salt River Fields. Troy E. Renck, The Denver Post

ROCKIES JOURNAL

NL West a tough place to rebound By Troy E. Renck The Denver Post

scottsdale, ariz.» he Rockies will be better this year. Let’s agree on that, if only because it would be hard to be worse. Unless they begin casting for the return of “ER,’’ fewer players will get hurt. How much will the Rockies’ improvement be reflected in their record? Probably not much. The Rockies picked the wrong year to have a transition season. They have a shallow-pool rotation in a deep division. That’s why a 10-win bounce is ambitious when discussing any rebound from a 98-loss season. Look at the National League West and study the Rockies’ early schedule. It’s the third-toughest in baseball, with 28 of the first 41 games against teams that finished .500 or better last year. That includes trips to San Diego, San Francisco and a week-long jaunt through Phoenix and Los Angeles. “It’s a hard division. There are a lot of good pitchers,’’ said Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez. “Look at the Dodgers. A great rotation. The Giants always have great pitching. The Padres can pitch. It’s the opposite with us. We have a really good offense. There’s a lot of competition.’’ The Giants are the favorites again. Maybe this is the year torture baseball turns painful, with San Francisco relievers regressing. The Dodgers are what the Yankees used to be, spending money to address every need. Talent is not a question, but the Dodgers’ pieces don’t fit all that well, and that was before Carl Crawford’s latest setback and Adrian Gonzalez’s disappearing power. Most fans don’t realize that San Diego had the division’s best record in the second half last season. The Padres are Giants Lite, built on pitching. To be competitive, the Padres need an offensive jolt from Carlos Quentin. Arizona’s gritty narrative is overplayed. Though I’m not a fan of the Justin Upton deal, the Diamondbacks will be plenty good because of their sturdy rotation and bullpen. The Rockies are improved, but the teams ahead of them in the NL West upgraded. Better health isn’t going to be enough to change the Rockies’ outlook. Only better pitching can accomplish that. “We have some nice young players impressing people in camp,’’ said shortstop Troy Tulowitzki. “It still goes back to pitching. We are excited to see what takes place with the young guys. If some of these pitchers can step up, I like our chances. If they don’t, we are going to be in for a long year.’’

Cranky Yankees. “Going for the Old” appears to be finally catching up with the Yankees, whose injuries are taking a heavy toll. First baseman Mark Teixeira (wrist) joins outfielder Curtis Ganderson on the disabled list. Teixeira is out eight to 10 weeks. Granderson is out until late April because of a broken wrist. Star shortstop Derek Jeter is returning from a fractured ankle that required a plate and pins to fix. Mariano Rivera, the greatest closer ever, is retiring after the season and could take Andy Pettitte with him. Who’s going to provide pop in the lineup besides Robinson Cano? For now, the Yankees will be patient, fighting the temptation to overpay for marginal players. They let several players walk during the winter to keep their payroll under $189 million in 2014. If and when the Yankees change their stance, Tyler Colvin’s name will come up. But the Rockies and Yankees have long had issues finding common ground on trades. Footnotes. The Orioles, looking for another starting pitcher, are keeping a close eye on the Dodgers’ Chris Capuano and Ted Lilly. ... Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon tweeted his suggested choice for the Rays’ runonto-the-field song: “Bang a Gong (Get It On).” No word on whether the Yankees will use “Thrift Shop” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.

Canada, Mexico brawl at WBC

Plunking spurs fight; fans in fray By Bob Baum The Associated Press

phoenix» A fierce brawl that saw Alfredo Aceves and several players throw nasty punches erupted Saturday in the ninth inning of Canada’s 10-3 romp over Mexico in the World Baseball Classic in a melee that also involved fans. Multiple fights broke out after Canada’s Rene Tosoni was hit in the back by a pitch from Arnold Leon with the score 9-3 at Chase Field. It quickly turned into a wild scene, as chaotic as any on a major-league field in recent years. Even when the fisticuffs ended, Canadian pitching coach Denis Boucher was hit in the face by a full water bottle thrown from the crowd. Canada shortstop Cale Iorg angrily threw the bottle back into the crowd. Several police officers came onto the field trying to restore order, and there were a few skirmishes in the decidedly pro-Mexico crowd of 19,581. Seven players were ejected after umpires huddled, trying to sort out the frenzy. There had already been several borderline plays on the bases when things got out of hand. A bunt single by Chris Robinson heightened the tension — a WBC tiebreaker relies heavily on runs and the Canadians wanted to score. Third baseman Luis Cruz fielded Robinson’s bunt and seemed to tell Leon to hit a batter. Adrian Gonzalez, Justin Morneau and Joey Votto were among the highpriced stars playing in the game. The fight was exactly the kind of thing that must have made major-league managers and general managers cringe at the thought of one of their players getting hurt in such a fracas. All in all, it was far from the worldwide goodwill that is supposed to accompany this competition, where players exchange team hats with opponents before the start of each game.

Baseball Briefs RIVERA WILL RETIRE; JETER MAKES DEBUT tampa, fla.» Saying he made the decision before arriving at spring training, Mariano Rivera announced Saturday that he will retire at the end of the season and hopes to cap his record-setting career by winning another World Series with the Yankees. Rivera was surrounded by family members and teammates when he made the announcement in a news conference at the team’s complex. The 43-year-old has a clear vision of how he wants his career to end. “The last game I hope will be throwing the last pitch in the World Series,” he said. “Winning the World Series, that would be my ambition.” The Yankees got some good news when captain Derek Jeter played for the first time since breaking an ankle last fall in the American League Championship Series, singling to left field on the first pitch he saw. Also, Phil Hughes threw 10 pitches in his first mound session since being diagnosed three weeks ago with a bulging disc in his upper back. The right-hander said he felt great.

Marmol on trading block B mesa,

ariz.» The Cubs told Carlos Marmol’s agent that they expect to trade the relief pitcher sometime this summer, the Chicago-Sun Times reported. While the Cubs don’t plan to deal the closer right away, they want Marmol to build up trade value first. The 30-year-old will make $9.8 million this season, the final year of his contract.

Christmas arrives in March for NFL

Broncos certainly won’t make as big a splash this time, but … By Mike Klis The Denver Post

Already, the kids have two drawers full of trendy T-shirts, a new bike and the hottest new video games. The wife just got a new car and some anniversary jewelry. Yet Christmas comes anyway. What, you’re not supposed to buy more presents? In the NFL, the opening of the freeagent market is Christmas for the league’s 32 teams. The Broncos are coming off a 13-3 regular season that earned them the No. 1 playoff seed in the AFC. Last year they picked up Peyton Manning, a shiny new quarterback in one sense, a slightly used, rebuilt collector’s item in another. But when free agency opens Tuesday, the Broncos are supposed to stand pat? “We have a lot of holes, and we have a lot of room for improvement,’’ coach John Fox said. Free agency is different this year, at least operationally. The market started with a “soft opening’’ Saturday, when teams began contacting the agents of free-agent players to let them know there is interest. Sunday, Day No. 2, teams and agents might throw out some contract parameters. Monday, teams and agents will try to get oral commitments. Tuesday, teams can start visiting with, and signing, free agents. They become presents under the tree. Free agency won’t be nearly as exciting for the Broncos as it was last year, when Fox and John Elway led a contingent that twice flew across the country in private planes in the successful pursuit of Manning. But the Broncos will not rest on 13-3, not when they went 0-1 in the postseason. When free agency opens, the Broncos likely will be aggressive. “You’d like to say that,’’ said Elway, the Broncos’ executive vice president of football operations. “But then again, we have to see where the market falls too. There are some guys out there who can help us.’’

PAIGE «FROM 1C The performances by the starters so far have been speckled, but manager Walt Weiss says it’s “early.’’ This much we do know from Weiss: The experimental four-man rotation and maximum 75-pitch count that drove his predecessor barmy and then out of town has been dumped like hazardous waste. Weiss says the Rockies will use a normal five-man rotation and that replacement of the starters generally will be considered “the third time through the order’’ of the opposition. “We intend to have bridge pitchers from our starters to our setup relievers,’’ Weiss told me. Out with piggyback, in with bridge. The Rockies are hopeful of health and consistency for De La Rosa, Nicasio and Chacin, development by Pomeranz and steadiness from Francis — and contributions at

Free agency opens simultaneously with the right to trade players. Among those on the block: Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams. The team also will be mindful of the April 25-27 draft. For the better part of last season, the Broncos’ best players were Manning, Von Miller and Champ Bailey. They acquired Manning through free agency, Miller through the draft and Bailey by trade. The positions they will try to strengthen before the 2013 season starts are: • Cornerback. The Broncos need a starter at right cornerback, opposite Bailey, so they can move Chris Harris back inside in the nickel. They visited Friday with “street” free agent Dunta Robinson but decided against signing him. • Defensive tackle. Fox and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio can’t get enough large, brutish run stuffers who also can bother the quarterback. • Offensive line. Four of Denver’s five starters are coming off surgeries. With Manning two weeks from his 37th birthday, the Broncos can’t leave pass protection to so many wounded warriors without solid backups. • Running back. Willis McGahee gave the Broncos all they hoped for in 2011 and in half of 2012. But he is 31 and coming off a season-ending leg injury. The Broncos will seek a younger and healthier starting tailback. • Safety. Rahim Moore and Mike Adams were solid starters in 2012, and Quinton Carter returns from an injury. But the Broncos want to add competition here. • Wide receiver. Even if they resign slot man Brandon Stokley, the Broncos will want an outside receiver who can give Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker a breather. • Defensive end. An edge pass rusher would become a need if the Broncos are unable to work out a pay cut with Elvis Dumervil. Mike Klis: 303-954-1055, mklis@denverpost.com or twitter.com/mikeklis

some point by Volstad, Chatwood and (hurting) Friedrich. Based on what the veteran coach from another team and we have witnessed, it’s all too much to hope for — particularly because the Rockies still don’t have a quality ace (and haven’t even come close to deciding who will be the opening-day starter), don’t have a starter returning from a .500 season, don’t have a potential 15-game winner, don’t have a dependable, durable 200-inning eater and don’t have three steadfast every-fifth-day pitchers. De La Rosa is not back to form; Chacin, off at the World Baseball Classic, is not cha-ching yet; Nicasio, without a third or fourth pitch, is more suited to the bullpen; Pomeranz has not matured and may end up in the Springs; and the 2013 Francis is not the 2007 Francis. Volstad, a towering 6-foot-8 fifth kind of starter, could be the best of that bunch by the end of March, but he has won just eight of 50 starts in the past two years with the Marlins and

Free-agent wish list for Broncos Denver Post NFL reporter Mike Klis analyzes 10 free agents who would fill the Broncos’ positions of need , if the price is right:

CB Sean Smith, 26, Dolphins Dove Valley is intrigued by Seattle’s super-sized cornerbacks, Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner. Smith is 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds.

CB Greg Toler, 28, Cardinals Has some medical issues (knee, foot), but that helps keep his price down. Bounced back to have a nice year in 2012.

S Chris Clemons, 27, Dolphins He’s solid in coverage and tackling. Fits the desired free-agent profile of a player coming off his rookie contract.

RB Rashard Mendenhall, 26, Steelers Still young with little wear. Two years removed from ACL surgery. Might have to drop Twitter account as condition to contract.

DT Richard Seymour, 33, Raiders The Broncos tried to give Ty Warren a late-career chance and got burned. But that still says they like a proven, productive veteran.

RB Ahmad Bradshaw, 27, Giants Has to prove he’s recovered from foot surgery, but he’s a 1,000-yard rusher who’s good at pass protection and receiving. And he’s won two Super Bowls.

RB Shonn Greene, 27, Jets Has been somewhat disappointing since an electric rookie playoff run. But at 226 pounds, he’s the big back Broncos need to complement Knowshon Moreno and Ronnie Hillman.

DT Terrance Knighton, 27, Jaguars If the Broncos don’t re-sign Kevin Vickerson by Tuesday, this might be a 330pound option. Jack Del Rio drafted and played him from 2009-11.

CB Derek Cox, 26, Jaguars Has broken down the past two years, but Del Rio drafted and played him, and he’s larger-sized at 6-1, 195.

WR Brandon Gibson, 26, Rams The Broncos need a No. 2 or No. 3 receiver who can spot Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker on the outside. Gibson averaged 13.5 yards per catch last year.

Others: Running back: Michael Turner Cornerback: Chris Houston, Antoine Cason, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie Safety: Dashon Goldson, LaRon Landry Defensive tackle: Glenn Dorsey, Desmond Bryant Offensive tackle: Sebastian Vollmer Guard: Andy Levitre, Brandon Moore Wide receiver: Devery Henderson, Donnie Avery

the Cubs. What’s the Rox brain trust of Dick Monfort, Dan O’Dowd and Bill Geivett thinking, or are they just not? Last year the Rockies’ home attendance of 2.6 million ranked 13th in the majors, and certainly would have been in the top 10 if they hadn’t lost almost 100 games. But their payroll in 2013 is not expected to be in the top 20. In fact, it likely will be lower than last year’s $78 million. The Hard-Knocks, not Fort Knox, Rox have only one starter making more than $1.5 million. De La Rosa will receive $10.5 million, Francis $1.5 million. The salaries of Chacin, Nicasio and Pomeranz are below $500,000. If Volstad makes the team, he will get $1.5 million. The Rockies’ starters’ total is under $15 million. The Giants’ starters will earn approximately $58 million. Somebody needs to think around here. The Dodgers, who splurged on players, have nine potential starters. Capuano, a 34-year-old left-

hander with a 12-12 record in ’12, won’t be in the rotation. His contract is in the $5 million range. The Blue Jays, who also pulled off several serious upgrades, recently indicated that Happ, a former National League rookie of the year, will not be in their rotation. The lefty was 10-11 with Houston and Toronto last year. He will be paid $3.7 million. Either one would be the Rockies’ No. 1 starter, and the other No. 2. Both can be obtained. How about giving up Ramon Hernandez and his wasteful $3.2 million salary or Chris Nelson and DJ LeMahieu, or prospects Tim Wheeler and Trevor Story, who won’t play anytime soon in Colorado, or a pair of those countless middle relievers? If the Rockies don’t do something now to enhance the “worst’’ rotation, they’ll just be chicken cacciatore again. Woody Paige: 303-954-1095, woody@woodypaige.com or twitter.com/woodypaige

Dillon prefers passing lane Driven to succeed and fueled by perspective, young QB has what it takes to boost Bu≠s Luck and Ben Roethlisberger had Dillon as one of his first pupils. So before dropbacks in the sand and surf of San Diego became hip, Dillon had the drills down pat. It was Whitfield who told him to stick it out his sophomore year at Christian while he was wallowing at receiver. “He sat me down and said: ‘You have a real bright future if you stick with it. Just keep working. Keep grinding, and you can do some great things,’ ”

CU quarterback Shane Dillon, at spring camp last week, knows “how lucky we are as people. You can have things taken away from you in a heartbeat.” Cliff Grassmick, Daily Camera be a family, which is what I think we lacked last year.” In the Buffs’ 1-11 debacle last season, among the many holes was quarterback. Rebuilding is nothing new to Dillon. Two years after winning the San Diego CIF title, Christian slumped to four wins and put Dillon at receiver and some quarterback his sophomore year. The Patriots went 7-5. He moved to quarterback his junior year, when they went 6-6 before the 10-3 campaign in 2011. He finished by throwing for 6,681 yards and 45 touchdowns (and 29 interceptions) in essentially two seasons. “He played big in big games,” Christian offensive coordinator Dave Beezer said. “The bigger the game, the better he played.” One big game nearly shortcircuited Dillon’s career. In the CIF San Diego Section championship, he threw for 316 yards and two touchdowns in a 32-29 win. However, on the last play

of the first half, he threw an interception and made the tackle. He felt his shoulder pop. What he didn’t know at the time was he played the entire second half with a torn labrum. That February, 15 screws were put in his arm, which wound up in a sling for two months. He couldn’t really throw until the end of last October. “It feels even better than before I had surgery,” he said. Dillon enters the QB race at CU with less experience, but he has other advantages. Beezer played receiver in college at Liberty from 1989-91 for former Cleveland Browns coach Sam Rutigliano. Beezer put in the same pro system at Christian, which had similar principles as MacIntyre’s new pistol offense. “He’s a natural fit for what we like to do,” CU offensive coordinator Brian Lindgren said. One other huge advantage: Whitfield. The former NCAA Division II quarterback who has trained the likes of Andrew

boulder » They stood in the Christian High stands and cheered and yelled as Shane Dillon led the El Cajon, Calif., school back to football prominence. They were seven adults, all wearing the Patriots’ red, white and blue colors and feeling like they belonged. People with Down syndrome, even adults, don’t know all the intricacies of football. But these seven knew enough to know that their housemate, the son of their caretakers, was becoming one of the best prep quarterbacks in the country. Colorado’s quarterback battle began Thursday with the start of spring practice. Six are in the running, and it will be seven in August when freshman Sefo Liufau arrives. By the end of spring camp, new Buffs coach Mike MacIntyre wants to cut the candidates to three. It could be a wild ride, but the smart money since last fall has been on the redshirt freshman who brings a different résumé from the others. Dillon was a prep All-American, ranked seventh nationally by PrepStar, and attracted scholarship offers from the likes of Ohio State and Miami. George Whitfield, the quarterback guru featured in Sports Illustrated last month, has tutored him since the seventh grade. As a senior, Dillon led once-struggling Christian to a 10-3 record and the CIF San Diego championship. But what has made the biggest difference in Dillon’s life are his special housemates. His parents house and care for Down syndrome adults in their suburban San Diego home. “I’d say that is where I get all my leadership skills,” Dillon said. “Just having to grow up in that situation has taught me how lucky we are as people. You can have things taken away from you in a heartbeat.” His mother, Shani, took the role from her parents, who had as many as 12 in their home only five minutes away. The Dillons ate with them, took them to the zoo and, in the fall, took them to Christian High games. “It’s just taught our whole entire family to value what you’ve been given, and I just want to take that and show our guys that we all come from different backgrounds and we all love the game,” Dillon said. “We should

Dillon said. “I took his advice. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be standing here right now.” He has a long way to go before he’s declared the starter for CU’s Aug. 31 season opener against Colorado State. Senior Jordan Webb is a returning starter. Junior Nick Hirschman showed promise near the end of last season. Junior Connor Wood’s athleticism fits the pistol offense. Liufau is the new staff’s chosen one. But Dillon has the street cred.

Ligety wins 4th GS crown Maze sets mark in women’s race The Associated Press

kranjska gora, slovenia» Ted Ligety of the United States won his fifth giant slalom of the season Saturday to clinch the World Cup discipline title with a race to spare. It’s his fourth GS title after winning in 2008, 2010 and 2011. He also successfully defended his GS title at the world championships last month. “To win here again is a supercool feeling,” said Ligety, who has won in Kranjska Gora five times and been on the podium every year since 2008. “I am really proud of that.” Ligety held his first-run lead to win in 2 minutes, 35.43 seconds for his 16th career victory, all in GS. He established an insurmountable 125-point lead over Austria’s Marcel Hirscher, who was 0.45 behind in second. “It’s a big weight off my shoulders,” Ligety said. “I had an awesome, awesome season, but Hirscher was there all the time. Even if I beat him by three seconds, he was still in second place. That makes it tough going for the title. It becomes kind of a head game when he is so close all the time. So I am pretty psyched to have it locked up now.” Ligety has finished on the podium in all seven GS races this season and became the first man to achieve that feat since Michael von Gruenigen of Switzerland in 1996.

CU rallies for 19th title

Nordic skiers fuel comeback of historic proportions; rival Pioneers finish fourth Daily Camera

ripton, vt.»The University of Colorado ski team came roaring from behind to win the NCAA championship Saturday with a strong effort in the nordic freestyle races. In Friday’s slalom, the Buffs played it conservative, knowing their strong suit lay in Saturday’s nordic freestyle races. And with a first place and two runner-up efforts, the Buffs rallied to come back from a 54-point deficit to win their 19th national championship in skiing — their seventh coed title to go with 11 men’s and one women’s. The largest final-day rally in NCAA championship history gave CU the school’s 25th overall national title, counting three titles in men’s cross country, two in women’s cross country and one in football. Despite competing with seven freshmen, easily the most by any contender, Colorado

tallied 708 team points, with Utah taking over second after the last event with 665 points. Vermont, which had led after each of the first three days, finished a distant third with 653, while Denver was fourth (629). The leader at the midway point had won six straight and 10 of the last 12 times, and schools leading after three days (six events) had won 16 of the last 18. “It’s never happened that we had this young of a team. There is a lot of discipline involved, and you don’t always display the maturity to do it in your freshman year,” CU coach Richard Rokos said. “Suddenly, you’re on a leash; you have to finish your runs. It was our strategy to hold back a bit, and while it’s not perfect, it’s the only way to accommodate this format of racing.” It was Colorado’s seventh national championship under Rokos, as he tied the legendary Bill Marolt, who coached CU to seven straight from 1972-78 before leaving

to become alpine director of the U.S. Ski Team. “That was my goal originally, to reach what Bill Marolt accomplished in seven years. It took 23 years, but you know, seven isn’t my lucky number, so I’ll keep going,” Rokos joked. CU’s Joanne Reid dominated the women’s 15-kilometer race and became the third-youngest female nordic champion (20 years, eight months, nine days). Reid’s mother, Olympic speed skating gold medalist Beth Heiden, won the cross country title skiing for Vermont in 1983, Colorado won with balance: In seven of the eight races, it was the only school to score 70 or more points, and with 59 in the other, the only one to score that many in all eight. Within the overall scoring, CU also won the nordic point battle with 391, as well as scoring the most by its women’s team (387).

Boycott over gun control misfires

ou canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really call them crickets. They chirp a bit louder than that. The vacuous echo emanating from a pair of misguided calls for boycotts of Colorado hunting and fishing in protest of gun control measures proposed in the state Legislature more closely resembles that of bullfrogs. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take many to create a ruckus. But they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much of a bite. Even at the peak of Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gun control debate, the three-week-old â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boycott Colorado for Anti-2nd Amendment Lawsâ&#x20AC;? Facebook page has yet to attract 100 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Likes.â&#x20AC;? Included among them are the usual suspects â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the National Rifle Association, Magpul Industries Corp., Rocky Mountain Gun Owners â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a highly dubious claim to The Denver Post. The upstart Colorado Gun Owners Tea Party organized by Fort Collins resident D. Ray Hickman more recently began seeking publicity and support alongside Mike McNultyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Citizens Organization for Public Safety in an effort to encourage â&#x20AC;&#x153;freedom-loving hunters and fishermenâ&#x20AC;? to shun Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hunting and fishing seasons this year. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right. The groups would have you protest a potential background check for a gun purchase by refusing to go fishing. Clearly these groups need to have their collective heads examined. To frame the argument in related vernacular, the notion of such a boycott takes aim at innocent victims. True, the arranged marriage between hunting and the Second Amendment establishes almost every hunter as a gun

owner, if not the other way around. But the agency that regulates hunting, fishing and all wildlife in the state â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Colorado Parks and Wildlife â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has nothing to do with gun control legislation. Yet, the blamers have somehow managed to pin a target on its back. Punishing CPW by refusing to purchase hunting and fishing licenses is a bit like protesting the rising price of milk by refusing to eat hamburgers. Or protesting the price of gas by refusing to buy a new car. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a total misfire. According to the agency, hunting and fishing annually generate roughly $1.8 billion in economic impact for the state. The brunt of wildlife funding in Colorado comes from hunting and fishing license purchases. The majority of the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hunting-related revenue comes from out-of-state licenses. Take away that funding and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wildlife, not state legislators, that suffers. Habitat, wildlife management and conservation efforts for both game and fish become casualties of reckless crossfire. Never mind that the legislation currently up for debate in the state Senate will have little if any impact on hunters (much less fishermen). Hunters are already restricted to three shotgun shells in the magazine and chamber combined, except during the light goose conservation order season, when they are allowed up

to five. Since guns used for hunting donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall into the â&#x20AC;&#x153;impulse buy on the way to the fieldâ&#x20AC;? category, a background check is a minor inconvenience at most. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth noting, too, that the federal excise taxes the hoarders are paying on the guns and ammo theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re currently stockpiling make their way to state wildlife coffers through the Pittman-Robertson Act. So it could turn out to be a banner year for Colorado wildlife after all. The ultimate unintended consequence of any boycott proposal would be felt by the blameless bystanders in the rural communities where hunting and fishing take place. The wait staff at the local diner, the owner of the bait shop or sporting goods store, the guides and gas station attendants, many of them law-abiding gun owners and sportsmen themselves, are the eventual beneficiaries of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multibillion-dollar hunting and fishing industry. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing for folks to take issue with gun control legislation. Taking it out on hunting and fishing is quite another. Perhaps that helps explain why less than a third of the approximately 16 million hunters in America belong to such narrow-minded organizations as the NRA, and even fewer to these boycott movements. The vast majority of them are smarter than that. They understand that if you want to solve a problem, you offer reasonable and relevant solutions. It beats croaking a load of bull.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Kensler’s Corner Front Range college basketball report by Tom Kensler, The Denver Post Trending nationally

Front Range watch

Area connection

More focus on conference tourneys

Game of the week

Bud Thomas

Because it figures to be exceptionally difficult this year for the NCAA Tournament selection committee to sort out and choose among the so-called “bubble teams” in conferences including the ACC and A-10, league tournaments will take on an added importance this season.

Denver at WAC Tournament, Thursday in Las Vegas

Junior, Mercer

Watch out for Sparty Among the Big Ten powers, don’t be surprised if Michigan State turns out to be best equipped to reach the Final Four. The Spartans have size and strength in the paint, a bevy of athletic big-guard, small-forward types and a terrific point guard in Keith Appling.

Boise State balancing on the bubble The Broncos are the classic bubble team. They entered the weekend at 20-9 (8-7 in the Mountain West) and with a 43 RPI. They probably need a couple of victories in their conference tournament this week in Las Vegas.

The former Regis Jesuit allstater is in his second season as a full-time starter for the Bears, who entered the weekend with records of 22-10 overall and 14-4 in the Atlantic Sun to clinch the regular-season league title — a first for the Macon, Ga., program. Thomas, a 6-foot-6 forward, is averaging 7.2 points and 4.5 rebounds on a balanced team. In high school, Thomas led Regis Jesuit to back--toback Class 5A titles and twice was named the state’s “Mr. Basketball.”

CSU appears to be a sure bet for the NCAA Tournament, and CU not as much, but the WAC probably will be a one-bid league. That means the DU Pioneers must win their conference tournament, which is never an easy task.

Mountain West FLETCHER’S 3 LIFTS AIR FORCE OVER NO. 12 NEW MEXICO air force academy» Todd Fletcher hit a 3-pointer with 3.5 seconds remaining to give Air Force an 89-88 victory over No. 12 New Mexico on Saturday. Tony Snell’s 3-point attempt from the right wing clanged off the iron as time expired, and Falcons fans stormed the court to celebrate the program’s first win over a top 15 team. Fletcher’s clutch shot came seconds after New Mexico’s Kendall Williams missed the back end of a 1-and-1. The loss snapped an eight-game winning streak for the Lobos (26-5, 13-3 Mountain West) and marked the second win over a top 25 opponent for Air Force (17-12, 8-8) this season. The Falcons finished 13-2 at Clune Arena. The game was a back-and-forth sprint that featured 10 ties and seven lead changes, with the teams combining for a conference-record 30 3-pointers. Air Force was 15 of 31 from 3-point range, with New Mexico going 15 for 33. The Lobos led 87-83 with 19 seconds remaining after a pair of free throws by Williams. Michael Lyons, the conference’s leading scorer, hit a long, contested 3-pointer with 12.1 seconds left to cut the deficit to one.

Oregon State’s Joe Burton and CU’s Josh Scott battle under the boards during the second half Saturday at the Coors Events Center in Boulder. Burton’s 10 points and 10 rebounds helped the Beavers beat the Buffaloes 64-58. Scott had six points and six rebounds. Cliff Grassmick, Daily Camera

BUFFS «FROM 1C gon State in a rematch. Spencer Dinwiddie scored 18 points for Colorado. But he went 4-for-12 from the field and finished as the Buffs’ only scorer in double figures. “This loss is on me,” Boyle said. “Our team wasn’t ready to play emotionally or mentally or physically. We laid an egg.” “The reality is, we just lost to a team that was 3-14 (in league play). They were coming into our building with a great crowd (10,105) with a snowstorm going on outside. And on ‘senior night,’ ” Boyle added. “We’d better figure it out because, guess what, the regular season is over with. It’s win or go home from here on out. All we know is, whoever we play on Wednesday in Las Vegas, we have to beat them to move on. That’s all we know.”

CU sophomore guard Askia Booker said the Buffs lacked energy, even with another lively crowd screaming its support. “There was no sense of urgency whatsoever, especially at the defensive end,” Booker said. “That’s why we lost.” Offensively, Colorado never attacked Oregon State’s 2-3 zone and played tentatively against the Beavers’ big front line. “Usually when a team plays zone, they’re playing zone because they don’t feel like they can guard you man-to-man,” said Boyle, who acknowledged giving his players an earful in the locker room afterward. “So you let them off the hook by taking quick jump shots. You let them off the hook by not attacking inside or moving the ball.” Things might have been different if Roberson were available, with his ability to slash through a zone and pick off offensive rebounds. But

Pac-12

Boyle said there are no excuses, and he feels bad for the two senior night honorees, guard Sabatino Chen and center Shane Harris-Tunks, having their big day tarnished. Oregon State coach Craig Robinson told his team the Coors Events Center would be “the hardest place to play in the Pac-12.” Not on this afternoon.

COLORADO STATE 77, NEVADA 66

Rams’ record 24th win clinches second seed By Christopher Dempsey The Denver Post

fort collins» The appreciation flowed from pregame introductions all the way through the timeout 4:28 into the game when, once again overjoyed at what they were witnessing, the fans in the sellout crowd at Moby Arena gave their Colorado State Rams a standing ovation. The 14-6 lead at the time dictated it. CSU made it stand up. And then some. The Rams set a program record for victories in a season with their 24th, outlasting Nevada 77-66 on Saturday in the regular-season finale. With it, CSU (24-7, 11-5) finished second in the Mountain West standings, the highest finish ever for the Rams. They will play Fresno State, the No. 7 seed, which ended its season with a bang in a win over UNLV, on Wednesday in a 3:30 p.m. conference tournament game at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. “I think it’s a tremendous accomplishment,” said Pierce Hornung, who had 16 points and 13 rebounds. “The history of CSU basketball, there’s been a lot of good teams. To have the most wins, that’s an honor.” The only scare CSU had against Nevada was the health of its starting point guard, Dorian Green. He left the game midway through the first half with what appeared to be an ankle injury. He returned to the bench but did not play again. “As far as I know it’s just a sprain,” Green said. “Nothing’s broken. I expect to play Wednesday.” Otherwise, using an energized defensive effort, the Rams made this game look easy, sending its senior class of Green, Hornung, Wes Eikmeier, Greg Smith and Colton Iver-

son out in style. A 9-0 run early in the half took a CSU 16-10 lead and stretched it to 25-10. Nevada never recovered. That lead grew to 19 points in the first half and to 20 in the second half. As has been the case this season, CSU used a stifling defensive effort against the opponent’s leading scorer as the catalyst. This time, the task involved slowing Nevada guard Malik Story, one of the highest-scoring players in the Mountain West. Story came in averaging 16.7 points but had only two points at halftime. He finished with 14 points, but did so on 4-of-11 shooting. The Rams scored 19 points off 16 Nevada turnovers. Nevada shot 16-of-24 in the second half to make things tight, while CSU hit just 9-of-29 from the field in the final 20 minutes. Iverson’s 21 points and nine rebounds led CSU. Eikmeier had 20 points and six assists and Smith finished with 11 points. And with the victory, CSU’s Larry Eustachy became the first NCAA Division I men’s coach to win 24 or more games with five schools. “That means you’ve been fired, is what it means,” Eustachy jokingly said. “We’ve worked hard for where we’ve gotten to and I’m proud of it.” Christopher Dempsey: 303-954-1279, cdempsey@denverpost.com or twitter.com/dempseypost NEVADA (12-18, 3-13 MOUNTAIN WEST) Huff 2-6 0-0 4, Panzer 0-1 2-2 2, Coleman 4-6 4-4 12, Burton 11-16 3-7 27, Story 4-11 5-8 14, Elliott 0-0 0-0 0, Fuetsch 0-0 0-0 0, Burris 3-4 1-2 7, Fall 0-0 0-0 0.

DENVER 78, LOUISIANA TECH 54

Pios share WAC crown DU awaits word on whether it or Louisiana Tech will be the top seed. By Irv Moss The Denver Post

The way the Pioneers shot the ball in the first half Saturday, 68 percent from the floor, it’s a wonder there was any net to cut off when they finally had defeated Louisiana Tech and gained a share of the Western Athletic Conference title. But sure enough, an inspired University of Denver basketball team took turns cutting down a net as the focal point of a jubilant celebration at Magness Arena after a 78-54 victory. The No. 1 seed between DU (21-8, 16-2) and Louisiana Tech (26-5, 16-2) in this week’s conference tournament in Las Vegas will be determined by the highest RPI ranking. Coach Joe Scott and his team continued down a path of win or else that had trailed them from the Dec. 29 beginning of WAC play and a loss at Louisiana Tech. The Pioneers are riding a 10-game winning streak. Their last loss was Jan. 23 at New Mexico State. “The most important thing is we came out in the biggest game of the year and did our job,” Scott said. “As the stakes got higher, our players kept playing at a high level. … I’d like to know how many teams in the country can say they lost once in January, zero times in February and zero times in March?” Louisiana Tech coach Mike White’s Bulldogs had been undefeated in conference play for the first 16 games of the season, but lost the last two and settled for a tie. “The game was over within the first eight to 10 minutes,” White said. “We wanted to come in here and win an outright championship. We got beat by a team that was significantly better tonight.” “We knew the pressure was on,” DU forward Chris Udofia said. “We came out and played like we have for a long time coming down to the end.” All five of DU’s starters scored in double figures, led

Cory Jefferson added 25 points for Baylor (18-13, 9-9 Big 12), combining his usual powerful dunks with his first three career 3-pointers. Even after their worst loss in seven years, Kansas (26-5, 14-4) will still be the No. 1 seed for next week’s conference tournament in Kansas City. The Jayhawks had won the previous four outright but have to share this one with rival Kansas State, which also lost Saturday.

PAC-12 WOMEN’S TOURNAMENT: L ATE FRIDAY

Bu≠s survive cold start, beat Huskies The Associated Press

seattle» Chucky Jeffery scored 19 points, including a game-clinching uncontested layup with 59 seconds left, and 18th-ranked Colorado survived a frigid-shooting first half to beat Washington 70-59 in the quarterfinals of the Pacific-12 Tournament late Friday night.

The Buffaloes (25-5), the tournament’s No. 4 seed and winners of 10 straight, played top seed and No. 4-ranked Stanford (29-2) in a semifinal Saturday night. Jamee Swan added 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Buffaloes, who pulled away from Washington after shooting 28 percent in the first half.

The Buffaloes scored eight consecutive points to open the second half and built a 37-26 lead — the first double-digit margin for either team. Washington answered with its own 8-0 run, getting back within 37-34. The Huskies got as close as two on three subsequent occasions, the last time at 51-49 with 5:50 to play.

Area Wrapup THOMPSON’S PUTBACK LIFTS CSU OVER WOLF PACK reno, nev.» Hayley Thompson’s putback in the final seconds gave the Colorado State women’s team a 53-51 victory over Nevada on Saturday night. The win was CSU’s third on the road this season and the third in the Mountain West. Three road wins is the most CSU victories away from Moby Arena in conference play since 2002. “I thought we had some fight,” said coach Ryun Williams. “ Our kids did a really good job in some urgent situations. I thought they engaged in the fight pretty well all night. It was nice to see them compete.” CSU increased its lead to double figures early in the second half, but the Rams (11-18, 7-9 Mountain West) scored just four points in nearly an eight-minute span, allowing the Wolf Pack (7-22, 2-14) to take the lead with four minutes left. Alicia Nichols went to the free-throw line twice, shooting 2-of-4 to tie the score at 51-51 with one minute to play. An offensive board gave Nevada possession for 40 seconds in the final minute, but Ladeyah Forte stole the ball and converted a layup. She missed, but Thompson got the rebound and converted. The Wolf Pack had 18 seconds on

the clock but was unable to convert. Meghan Heimstra led the Rams with 13 points and Mandy Makeever scored a careerhigh 12. Thompson grabbed a career-high 11 rebounds. “I know coming out of the first media timeout, Coach Williams told me focus on rebounding on the weak side,” Thompson said. “I know it’s something that I can contribute to the team when I’m having an off shooting night.”

New Mexico 65, Air Force 59 B albuquerque» The Lobos (16-13, 8-8 Mountain West) kept the Falcons (4-25, 3-13) at bay after using two 10-o runs to build a lead. Cherae Medina led Air Force with 15 points. Katie Hilbig posted her second straight doubledouble with 11 points and 13 rebounds.

Louisiana Tech 69, Denver 51 B ruston, la.» Sloppy ball handling cost the Pioneers, who committed eight turnovers during a 21-12 run that ended the first half with the Lady Techsters (13-16, 9-9 WAC) leading 38-21. Morgan Van Riper-Rose was the only player in double figures for the Pioneers (13-16, 8-10), who committed 15 turnovers in the first half and 19 overall. Denver Post wire services Results »14c

After the Buffs pushed their lead to 63-53 with two minutes remaining, Washington got back-to-back 3-pointers from Heather Corral and Talia Walton to cut it to 63-59 with 1:06 left. But Jeffrey followed with a layup and three free throws to put it out of reach. Colorado shot 48 percent in the second half.

One tick left on the clock, Jefferson saves Roadrunners Denver Post wire services

Brandon Jefferson drained a jumper with one second remaining Saturday to give Metro State a 61-60 win over Fort Lewis and the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Tournament title. The win clinched an NCAA Division II Tournament berth for the Roadrunners (27-2), who entered the tournament ranked fourth. The game at Auraria Events Center was a defensive struggle at the end, with the two teams combing for only seven points in the last 4:07. That’s when Fort Lewis’ Alex Herrera made one of two free throws to give the Skyhawks a 58-57 lead. The Roadrunners retook the lead on Jonathan Morse’s layup with 1:34 left. The Skyhawks’ final basket came on Marcus Ayala’s layup with nine seconds left that gave them a 60-59 lead. Jefferson led Metro with 20 points, while Ayala led the Skyhawks (21-7) with 16 points.

After a disappointing snub by the NCAA Tournament selection committee in 2011, Colorado men’s basketball coach Tad Boyle was in better humor when doing phone interviews from his home on Selection Sunday last year. AAron Ontiveroz, Denver Post file

Formula is simple: NCAA still likes RPI

Metric carries plenty of weight when committee picks tourney teams By Tom Kensler The Denver Post

When Colorado men’s coach Tad Boyle finds a few extra minutes, he clicks on a college basketball website and scrolls down a list to check his team’s RPI. “You have to, because it’s so important,” Boyle said. Like the weather, a team’s RPI can change daily, which makes the computer-calculated power ranking maddening, interesting and, for many, perplexing. But Boyle is right. It is important. Beginning with the 1980-81 season, the Rating Percentage Index has been among the metrics used by the NCAA Tournament selection committee for choosing at-large teams. Many analysts contend the weight given to the RPI ranks near the top among “tools” used by the committee, although the committee never acknowledges it. Mike Bobinski, the tournament’s selection committee chairman, may have hinted about the RPI’s value during a recent media teleconference. “Interestingly, we asked a statistician who works with the NCAA who is really, really sharp, to do sort of a comparison of all the major rankings that exist … and compare those evaluations with performance in the tournament,” Bobinski said. “We were all surprised to see that the RPI actually did end up with the highest level of predictive value and the highest correlation with ultimate success in the tournament.” Criticism of RPI won’t go away, however. Detractors believe the formula, based on a team’s wins and losses and the strength of its schedule and of its opponents’ schedules, is too simple. RPI doesn’t account for scoring margins. A 15-point victory by Colorado State over UNLV, for example, counts the same as a one-point win. Injuries aren’t factored in. Whether or not the game was a pressurized conference matchup is of no consequence. “Archaic” and “outdated” are descriptions of RPI, which last was revised in 2004, when differences in home, road and neutral-site games were put into the equation. Home wins are worth 0.6 of a victory, while road wins are worth 1.4. Conversely, a home loss is weighted 1.4 on the negative side and a road loss only 0.6. Neutral-site games count 1.0 and 1.0. With computers much more able to crunch sophisticated data than they were three decades ago, why not, critics say, adopt a formula that uses more data and considers more variables? “Yes, yes, it’s terrible that the RPI exists in 2013,” wrote ESPN.com college basketball analyst and statistician John Gasaway. Of course, no squawking is heard from teams with solid RPIs, such as Colorado and CSU, both of whom have been in the top 30 for much of the season. A top-30 ranking almost ensures an at-large invitation to the NCAA Tournament. Rankings higher can mean bubble trouble.

RPI applies to other sports too The basic RPI formula is used by selection committees for nearly a dozen NCAAsanctioned sports, including men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer, baseball and softball. But it all began with basketball. Jim Van Valkenburg, then a member of what the NCAA called its “statistics service,” gathered a group of analysts in 1980, which considered a dozen or so formulas to

How to figure RPI The formula for the Rating Percentage Index, which is a factor in selecting at-large teams for the NCAA Tournament: A team’s winning percentage

The winning percentage of that team’s opponents’ opponents.

25% 25% The winning percentage of that team’s opponents

50% The Denver Post

determine how each matrix reflected the performance of college basketball teams. A former Kansas City, Mo.-based Associated Press sports editor, Van Valkenburg rejected formulas that included scores and margin of victory because he felt they encouraged coaches to run up the score. Factoring in adjustment of a team’s games played at home or on the road, the basis for RPI is winning percentage: victories divided by total games. The formula is 25 percent for a team’s winning percentage and winning percentage of that team’s opponents’ opponents and 50 percent for the winning percentage of that team’s opponents. It’s as simple as that. Yes, it may seem strange that 75 percent of an RPI calculation has nothing to do with that team’s performance on the court. But RPI and other computer-based power rankings have their supporters. “I think the best yardstick,” Wyoming coach Larry Shyatt said recently, “is to do away with all the pundits and analysts and all the people that have biases toward schools they went to and the leagues they play in, and to just look at the numbers. The numbers have no biases.” The NCAA began releasing its official RPI to the public via its website in 2006 on a weekly basis. Before 2006, a cottage industry emerged with statisticians offering subscriptions to publications and websites for those eager to see the “replicated” RPI rankings. Among the first to provide numbers was Jerry Palm, who majored in computer science at Purdue and was curious about what the RPI would be for a Boilermakers team that featured future national player of the year Glenn Robinson. He started CollegeRPI.com in 1996 after tracking numbers for 2½ years. Palm now works for CBSsports.com and continuously updates his RPI numbers

“

there. He closed down CollegeRPI.com. “The RPI isn’t something that you’d want to bet with in Las Vegas,” Palm said. “But I do think it’s proven to be a helpful tool for the selection committee.” Committee chairman Bobinski said the selectors use about a dozen “tools,” including RPI. “We have more data than any human can possibly digest,” he said.

Power conference muscle A common criticism of RPI is the formula’s reliance on strength of schedule, which favors power conferences. CU’s Boyle was an assistant coach at Missouri Valley Conference member Wichita State in 2005-06 when the MVC, a midmajor conference, was credited with “cracking the code” by getting four teams into the NCAA Tournament. Cracking the code meant beefing up the nonconference schedule of all league members to build a strong enough RPI that would hold up during conference action. The Mountain West cracked the code, so to speak, last year by getting four NCAA Tournament bids, which the conference is expected to repeat this year. “Our staff pays a great deal of attention to RPI and strength of schedule,” said UNLV coach Dave Rice. “It’s important for us to schedule as many tough nonconference opponents as we can without our team losing confidence. Our league has done a good job (of scheduling).” Boyle made sure to toughen CU’s nonconference schedule this season by adding a tournament in Charleston, S.C., and a game at Kansas. “RPI is a moving target. For example, Colorado State having such a great year helps us, and we’re even being helped by Air Force doing well,” said Boyle, whose Buffs beat both Front Range teams. “In some regards with scheduling and RPI, you also have to get a little lucky.” The NCAA committee reiterates each year that it doesn’t consider conference RPI and that data isn’t provided to the selectors. The committee analyzes teams on their own merit, regardless of conference affiliation. Those who view RPI as confusing have a lot of company. For such a simple formula, it sure causes a lot of head scratching. CU senior guard Sabatino Chen said he looks at the RPI numbers at least once a week. That doesn’t mean he understands it. “Honestly, I don’t even know how they figure it,” Chen said. “When I look at some teams’ RPIs against ours, I really don’t know why ours is so different.”

Jake Pemberton and Elijah Valdez each scored 19 points for the Golden Eagles. Roderick Bernstine poured in 31 for the Cougars. Fourteener. Coach Caryn Jarocki, who picked up her 500th win earlier, is in her 14th final four — 13 with Highlands Ranch, which defeated Ralston Valley 57-43 in the 5A girls Great 8 on Thursday. Neil H.

Class 4A Girls State Basketball Tournament

Tyree’s 27 points lead Jaguars past Scorpions into final four D’EVELYN 61, SAND CREEK 50 By Neil Devlin The Denver Post

D’Evelyn tried it one way a year ago. This season, the Jaguars are going by a different route. Saturday night, the Jags took command of Sand Creek, then fended off the Scorpions 61-50 in Class 4A’s Great 8 at the Denver Coliseum.

They will take on Pueblo West on Thursday at the University of Colorado’s Coors Events Center in Boulder riding a 20-game winning streak. At 25-1, their only loss was to 5A Grandview in a December tournament. They were state runners-up in 2012. “You know, I’ll tell you, in comparing the two years, last year was like a magic show,” D’Evelyn coach Chris Olson said. “We were just happy every time something happened. This year, we came in with expectations.”

team, playing only its fifth season and just its second with seniors, is headed to the final four for the first time. The Titans of the Class 5A Continental League are 21-6. Their reward is playing top-ranked Denver East on Friday at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Bowing out in style. The Thunderbirds of Wasson advanced to the final four in Class 4A boys with a lot of incentive. Wasson’s district will be closing the Colorado Springs school at the completion of the school year. Rangers trying to repeat. Lewis-Palmer, the defending state champion in Class 4A boys, took a step toward another title with a 66-49 win over Cheyenne Mountain. Justin Smith scored 19 points. Neil H.

One expectation realized involves senior guard Laura Tyree, who’s bound for the Colorado School of Mines. Tyree scored a game-high 27 points, 19 in the second half, when the Jags broke open a tie game. Most of the run was fueled by defense. D’Evelyn pulled back its full-court press into a trap just beyond half-court, primarily to deal with Sand Creek’s Mikayla Reese, a speedy junior. She scored 13 points, but had nine turnovers. Liah Davis led the Scorpions (21-5) with 15 points.

Wrapup BROOMFIELD PASSES BIG MONTROSE TEST Having coached Broomfield since the 1994-95 season, Mike Croell knows about getting around and understanding the landscape. So when he heard some locals wonder where Montrose is located, he figured he probably had a few of his Eagles suffering from similar geographic ignorance. Basically, Croell told them: “If you don’t watch it, they’ll come over here and beat your butt.” Croell knew what he was talking about. The top-seeded Eagles needed to weather a late move by the No. 2 Indians on Saturday at the Denver Coliseum, with Broomfield winning 51-41 and advancing to another final four, a win away from Croell’s eighth state final. Broomfield (25-1) used 17-of-24 free-throw shooting and 13 points from Callie Kaiser to advance. The Eagles’ defense helped force 23 turnovers by Montrose, which finished 20-5. Kaiser also contributed a teamhigh six rebounds. Despite making only 15-of-44 shots overall, Broomfield went 4-for-14 behind the 3-point line. Bri Weber was 2-of-3 and scored nine points. Kala Keltz (12 points) and Holly Brooks (10) led Montrose.

(1) Pueblo West 40, (2) Centaurus 29. It wasn’t pretty, but the Cyclones made the final four for the second consecutive season. The No. 1-seeded Cyclones shot just 22.9 percent. But Centaurus shot 20.6 percent, didn’t make a field goal in a span of 9½ minutes in the second half and didn’t score at all for a period of more than six minutes during the third and fourth quarters. “It’s not fun to watch,” Pueblo West coach Gil Lucero said, “but you know what? A win’s a win right now. We’re moving on.”

Megan Valdez, right, celebrates with Pueblo South teammate Shannon Patterson after the Colts defeated previously unbeaten Mesa Ridge 54-33 on Saturday in a Class 4A Great 8 game at the Denver Coliseum. Pueblo South improved to 24-2. Andy Cross The Denver Post The Cyclones (25-1) forced 19 turnovers by Centaurus (18-8) and won the game because they made 25 of their 33 free throws, including 18of-23 in the second half. Haley Simental led all scorers with 16 points for Pueblo West. Bri Rodriguez contributed 12 points.

(1) Pueblo South 54, (2) Mesa Ridge 33. The Colts made a series of runs to pull away. Pueblo South (24-2), a No. 1 seed, used a 10-0 spurt early in the second quarter to turn a 16-12 deficit into a 22-16 lead. Then, as the second half started and No. 2 seed Mesa Ridge (25-1) cut its deficit to 26-24, the Colts

used an 11-2 run to break the game open at 37-26. “We talk about that a lot — momentum changes, killing momentum, and when we’re up 11, building to 15,” said Pueblo South coach Shannan Lane. “That was really good on our part to keep extending (the lead).” Pueblo South’s Shannon Patterson

led her team with 17 points. Mikala Gordon contributed 16. The Grizzlies clearly missed 6foot-4 freshman Kylee Shook, their leading scorer and top-tier shot blocker, who was out because of an ankle injury. Neil H. Devlin and Ryan Casey, The Denver Post

Wasson players celebrate Saturday after improving to 25-1 and advancing to the final four in Boulder with a 60-48 victory over Thomas Jefferson at the Denver Coliseum. Wasson is closing at the completion of the school year. Andy Cross, The Denver Post

Thunderbirds powered by plenty of incentive WASSON 60, THOMAS JEFFERSON 48 By Ryan Casey The Denver Post

This time of year in basketball, each game may be a team’s last. In Wasson’s case, each game may be the school’s last. The No. 1-seeded Thunderbirds, whose school is set to close at the completion of the school year, extended their final season by another game with a 60-48 victory over No. 2 Thomas Jefferson in the Class 4A boys Great 8 on Saturday at the Denver Coliseum. Wasson’s next game is Friday at the final four in Boulder.

“We have 11 seniors and one junior,” said Wasson star DJ Hanes, who led his team with 27 points. “If we can win it all for the seniors and for the school — because the school’s closing — it will mean a lot to all of us and all the fans that are behind us in this gym today.” Wasson’s defense sealed the Thunderbirds’ latest victory. Leading 52-48 with 1:12 remaining, the Thunderbirds forced a bad shot and then a series of Thomas Jefferson turnovers. “I put them in a lot of situations this week in practice,” said Wasson coach Damion Copeland. “I told them: ‘We worked on this. We know exactly what we need to do.’ ” Hanes also had a key offensive rebound

when Richie Perea missed the front end of a 1-and-1 opportunity with 48 seconds remaining. Hanes was fouled and hit both of his free throws. “He’s a gamer,” Copeland said. “He absolutely comes through when it’s time.” Wasson (25-1) received a big game from 6-foot-10 senior Lorenz Stalcup, who contributed 13 points, nine rebounds and seven blocked shots. Perea also scored 13 points. Thomas Jefferson (18-8) was led by Cameron Brown’s 11 points. Treyvon Andres and Eric Andres scored 10 apiece. Ryan Casey: rcasey@denverpost.com or 303-954-1980

Wrapup LEWIS-PALMER BACK IN FINAL FOUR WITH BIG WIN Justin Smith gathered the ball under the basket, went up with two hands and put down a powerful slam. It was a punctuation mark late in LewisPalmer’s 66-49 Class 4A boys basketball quarterfinal win Saturday over Cheyenne Mountain, which moved the Rangers to their fifth consecutive final four. “It never gets old,” said Lewis-Palmer coach Russ McKinstry. “We knew we’d be in for a tough game today, and I thought our guys really responded.” The defending champions, a No. 1 seed this season, ended the second quarter on an 11-2 run to turn a 17-16 game into a 10-point margin. “I think it was kind of sparked by our defense,” McKinstry said. “We got some stops and some easy transition baskets. That’s how we are successful. We really live off our defense and creating offense off our defense. After that (run), we just kind of maintained our lead.” Lewis-Palmer already owned 16- and 13point wins over Cheyenne Mountain from earlier in the season. Saturday, the Rangers (23-3) got 19 points and 12 rebounds from Justin Smith, while Jordan Scott had 11 and nine. Tyler Owens scored 13. “We’re real fortunate to have players like that, and it just helps us be balanced offensively,” McKinstry said. No. 3-seeded Cheyenne Mountain (19-7) did close things to 33-29 early in the third quarter, but Lewis-Palmer answered with a 10-0 run. Cheyenne Mountain didn’t get within ten points thereafter. Ghassan Nehme led Cheyenne Mountain with 16 points.

(2) Broomfield 84, (1) D’Evelyn 65. This is not the Eagles team that was struggling in December, finding itself and trying to work out some problems. No, these Eagles have become tight and close and have an objective.

They snagged the honor of becoming the first team in either 5A or 4A to knock out a No. 1 seed as they dominated the Jaguars, who had entered on a 16-game roll. “For the last three weeks, four weeks, we’ve been playing hard and playing together,” Broomfield coach Terrence Dunn said. No kidding. Every Eagle who took the floor contributed in multiple ways. Dunn said he has his guys doing it all, such as guards posting up larger players, and his front line handling the ball. It shows. Broomfield used multiple players to handle full-court pressure, challenge inside and remain effective from the perimeter. Tops was 6-foot-5 senior Dan Perse, who scored 26 points, grabbed five rebounds and provided a mobile, explosive presence. “We’ve been playing together for so long, we’ve been a family since fifth grade, and you put on for your family,” he said.

(1) Valor Christian 54, (2) Sand Creek 46. The Eagles’ second consecutive trip to the final four has proved quite different. As opposed to last season, they weren’t in a league, they changed coaches and they played only four games in February, quite a scheduling oddity, even for a program relegated to independent status. But their early 22-6 surge carried them against the Scorpions, and the Eagles did just enough to advance. “It is odd. This is my first year, and we’re going back to my home court,” Valor Christian coach and former Buffalo Ronnie DeGray said. Valor Christian, now 21-4, withstood two late moves by Sand Creek, which beat the Eagles 76-61 last month, with sounder play, ball movement and defense. Garrett Baggett led the Eagles with 16 points, including three key baskets down the stretch, one a 3-pointer, and another on a layup off a slick fast-break past by Christian McCaffrey. Chase Foster added 11 points and 11 rebounds as the Eagles also handled a physical effort by the Scorpions. Sand Creek, which ended 23-3, was paced by Josh Smith’s 18 points. Neil H. Devlin and Ryan Casey, The Denver Post

The monster of the spring Standardized tests are killing our students’ creativity, desire to learn By Don Batt

Sex tra∞cking in Denver

here is a monster waiting for your children in the spring. Its creators have fashioned it so that however children may prepare for it, they will be undone by its clever industry. The children know it’s coming. They have encountered it every year since third grade, and every year it has taken parts of their souls. And not just in the spring. Every day in class, the children are asked which answer is right, although the smarter children realize that sometimes there are parts of several answers that could be right. And they sit. And they write. Not to express their understanding of the world. Or to even form their own opinions about ideas they have read. Instead, they must dance the steps that they have been told are important: First, build your writing with a certain number of words, sentences, paragraphs; second, make sure your writing contains the words in the question; third, begin each part with “first, second,” and “third.” My wife sat with our 10-year-old grandson to write in their journals one summer afternoon, and he asked her, “What’s the prompt?” I proctored a standardized test for “below average” freshmen one year. They read a writing prompt which asked them to “take a position … .” One student asked me if he should sit or stand. There are those who are so immersed in the sea of testing that they do not see the figurative nature of language and naively think that the monster they have created is helping children. Or maybe they just think they are helping the test publishers (who also happen to write the textbooks, “aligned to the standards” that are sold to schools). Those test-creators live in an ocean of adult assumptions about how children use language — about how children reason. They breath in the water of their assumptions through the gills of their biases. But the children have no gills. They drown in the seas of preconceptions. They are bound to a board, hooded, and

Don’t let Al-Turki go free, Colorado VINCENT CARROLL

Denver Post Columnist

f Homaidan Al-Turki — a sexual predator who kept a young Indonesian woman in servitude for 4½ years in Aurora — is transferred from the Colorado Department of Corrections to Saudi Arabia, he will almost certainly soon go free. The Saudi government has never accepted Al-Turki’s guilt. It gave him the money to post bail, complained about the 2006 trial, and pestered the State Department until it sent state Attorney General John Suthers abroad to smooth King Abdullah’s ruffled feathers. The Saudis’ attorneys later filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court claiming Al-Turki was victim of an anti-Muslim trial and jury. Al-Turki may not receive quite the hero’s welcome rolled out for Pan Am terrorist Abdel Baset al-Meghahi when he returned to Libya from a Scottish prison in 2009, but as an alleged victim of bigoted U.S. justice, he is sure to be greeted with widespread sympathy.

OPINION The Week in Review Feb. 4-8 Highlights from The Denver Post’s opinion pages and The Idea Log blog.

Monday Ensuring a safer U.S. food supply In an editorial, we wrote: The Food and Drug Administration’s warning to the cantaloupe industry that growers and packers will face additional inspections this year should not be a surprise. Two very serious food-borne illness outbreaks traced to cantaloupes — including one Colorado operation — and the enactment of stricter federal food safety regulations should have made a cantaloupe crackdown a foregone conclusion. Frankly, it’s about time.

Tuesday The evolution of gay marriage In an editorial, we wrote: The federal government’s challenge of the constitutionality of California’s voter-initiated gay-marriage ban is a welcome development in the Obama administration’s evolving view on marriage equality. American opinion on gay marriage has evolved quickly during the last several years, with a plurality now supporting it. The country is ready for it. The Supreme Court should find gay marriage is a basic civil right and rule broadly so state gay-marriage bans could be overturned.

A little sanity returns to post-9/11 airline security In a post on The Idea Log, we wrote: The U.S. Transportation Security Administration’s rules on what you can bring on an airplane and how much dignity you have to part with during security screenings have been maddening. So it was with some sense of relief we noted the TSA was relaxing prohibitions on small pocket knives and allowing some sporting goods — golf clubs and lacrosse sticks — on board airplanes.

Wednesday Smearing gun owners in the liability battle In a column, Vincent Carroll wrote: In approving a gun liability bill this week, a state Senate committee casually smeared thousands of Coloradans who own certain popular weapons — or who would like to own one — as prone to violence and criminal activity or indifferent to it. This judgment is embedded in the bill’s language: “A person who sells or transfers an assault weapon is deemed to be aware ... of the extreme likelihood that an assault weapon that is sold or transferred will be used in a crime or will result in serious injury or death.” That statement is of course factually incorrect. It is quite possibly much worse than incorrect, since supporters of the bill must know — or should know — that the vast majority of assault-style weapons will not be used in a crime and will not result in serious injury or death.

Thursday State Sen. Evie Hudak disrespected rape victim In an editorial, we wrote: You might think a twice-elected state senator would have the good sense to treat a rape victim with respect during testimony at the state Capitol. That’s not what happened Monday during a hearing on a bill that would ban concealed weapons on college campuses, however. State Sen. Evie Hudak, D-Westminster, seemed bent on contradicting Amanda Collins, a Nevada woman who testified that she felt she could have defended herself against her attacker if she had been carrying her weapon. The episode made Hudak look like she cared not a whit for a rape victim. We’re glad she at least had the good sense to apologize.

10 things that changed since Dow was last this high In a post on The Idea Log, Alicia P.Q. Wittmeyer of Foreign Policy wrote: It’s been a long, slow recovery from the 2008 financial crisis, and the last time the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit the kind of heights it hit Wednesday was October 2007. To give you some perspective on the meaning of the market surge, here’s a look at 10 ways the world has changed since the fall of 2007: 1. Justin Bieber wasn’t famous yet. 2. Neither was Lady Gaga. 3. Sarah Palin was an Alaska governor with sky-high approval ratings. 4. Blackberry’s (RIM) shares were trading at more than $100/share (price this week: $12.73). 5. The first iPhone had just been introduced in the United States three months earlier. 6. The first “Twilight” film had yet to be released. 7. Tiger Woods was still just a really great golfer. 8. The U.S. was winding down its surge in Iraq. 9. The world still had fewer than 7 billion people. 10. Vladimir Putin was president of Russia. (Oh … wait.)

Friday Our recommendations for state gun legislation In an editorial, we wrote: The gun-control debate returns to the spotlight at the state Capitol Friday as lawmakers take on a slew of bills intended to tighten screens on gun ownership and ban sales of magazines holding more than 15 rounds. We hope lawmakers approve all but two of the seven pending measures, though one of the bills we oppose needs only a tweak for us to support it. The one bill that does not make sense at all is the one that would make manufacturers and sellers of assault-style weapons liable for crimes committed with the guns. A summary of our positions on the bills: • Ammunition magazine limits: Yes • Manufacturer liability: No • Universal background checks: Yes • Background checks fee: Yes • Ban of concealed carry on campus: No (unless amended) • Online concealed-carry training ban: Yes • Domestic violence restrictions: Yes

Guns as a way of life in Colorado Re: “Guns in Colorado; A way of life,” March 3 news story.

Re: “Readers respond to article on growing marijuana at home,” March 3 letters to the editor.

Having read your article supposedly regarding why Coloradans are so proud of their gun heritage, I was left disappointed by its lack of analysis. This article not only simplified the reasons people buy them (“If you just like to shoot for practice, it’s a great gun” as the only reason one would buy an AR-15 semiautomatic assault rifle), but also lacked insight as to why people would be fearful of the potential limits being placed on them (why, for instance, would 10-bullet magazines be less effective for target practice ones with 30?). Overall, I expected better from such a normally insightful news agency and was left both frustrated by the waste of time taken to read this empty piece as well as disheartened that the reasons of gun owners remain so elusive to those of us who may not take a similar viewpoint.

The outraged responses to The Denver Post’s article about growing marijuana ranged from absurd to reactionary to completely uneducated. Teaching teenagers to grow pot? Most teenagers would quail given the work involved; it’s still much easier to buy on the black market. Yes, the article appeared in the section with the comics — as do prominent beer articles every Wednesday. The “idea that any plant needs exactly 12 hours of sunlight a day … is nonsense” is the most ignorant statement of all. The reader apparently missed basic biology in school. Many species — from plants to mammals — are photo-determinate. Horses growing winter coats, chickens laying eggs, and deciduous trees changing leaves are all triggered by light. And the absurd notion that marijuana wouldn’t exist in nature if it was hard to grow? Ask cattle ranchers how easy their job is. While I have never eaten wild ox, I am sure well-raised, prime-grade Angus steak tastes much better.

Those of us who had fiveshot pumps or autos felt a little embarrassed, since having more than one shot suggested you weren’t a good shot.

Disgusted by dog’s killing

No cause for celebration

Re: “Deputy who killed dog at wrong address cleared,” March 2 news story.

Re: “Ruling: Choice system is legal,” March 1 news story.

I am an animal lover. I worked as a Gal Friday for the Boulder Police Department’s detective unit. I am disgusted with decision by the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office to absolve the Adams County deputy who shot the pet dog. The dispatcher sent the deputy to the wrong address. The homeowner complied with the deputy’s orders and put his hands up. He could not hold onto his dog. The dog got out and (as dogs do when a stranger bursts into their home) barked. The deputy, not caring about this pet, shot and killed the dog. Ziggy was a border collie. Not a Rotweiller or a pit bull. It was a gentle pet. My uncle was sheriff of Converse County in Wyoming. He never shot a dog. Ever. He brought mass murderer Charles Starkweather into jail with one shot (which hit Starkweather’s ear). Uncle Earl Heflin was a calm, intelligent man. So were the detectives I worked with. I am disgusted by the careless deputy’s killing of an innocent dog. I am shocked that the court would OK this action. The court’s decision makes citizens feel unsafe in their homes.

The Douglas County School Board’s recent appeals court victory is little cause for celebration. After spending more than $1 million dollars in “private donations” mounting a legal defense of their actions, they are no closer to their aspirations of being able to hand out public funds in the form of individual vouchers to students attending private religious schools than when first challenged. A certain appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court will consume at least two more years and presumably another $1 million reversing or upholding the previous ruling, but even if favorable to the school board, there would likely be additional litigation over Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) provisions with uncertain cost and outcome. Given the school district’s large budget deficits, reduction in curriculum, elimination of teaching and staff positions, and aging infrastructure, it is almost incomprehensible that elected officials utilize millions of dollars feeding their egos for no measurable public benefit.

Making the hard choices on the federal deficit Re: “Divided and conflicted over the federal deficit,” March 3 editorial.

Your editorial elucidated exactly the financial dilemma our nation faces. Separate Pew Research polls showed that a majority of Americans want to maintain or even increase spending on key areas — education, energy, agriculture, defense. However, 73 percent wanted to cut overall spending. It would help if we could stop demonizing those who advocate on one side or the other. In fact, most of us want to cut our cake but keep it too. As Pogo said,“We have met the enemy and he is us.” We need to allow —

even encourage — our representatives to make hard choices which may compromise our own sacred cows. Otherwise we’ll continue to live in “a budgetary fantasy land.” We need to accept plans like Simpson-Bowles which seek adult solutions. Maybe everyone hates something in such plans, but maybe that’s exactly the medicine we need to take. Let’s negotiate. Kathy Taylor, Louisville

cuts. The reality is that the president has posted a plan on whitehouse.gov that offers both spending cuts and tax reform. House Speaker John Boehner, on the other hand, has categorically declared new revenue off the table. A better way to phrase your editorial would be that one party has offered a mix of revenue and spending cuts with an emphasis on the latter and the other party demands only spending cuts. Furthermore, that party refuses to say exactly what they will cut. They would prefer that their opponents take the fall for that unpopular task. Dick Buckley, Conifer

Hank Greenberg was a big part of AIG’s near collapse Re: “Ex-CEO Greenberg: Don’t blame me for AIG collapse,” March 1 business news story.

As a former AIG employee, I was amazed at Hank Greenberg’s comments about what happened at AIG in 2008. It was during Greenberg’s tenure at AIG when the financial products division was set up, which caused AIG’s near collapse. Nothing happened at that company without Greenberg’s approval. His successor barely had time to figure out all the areas in which AIG was involved, much less implement any new activity. AIG’s near collapse has Greenberg’s fingerprints all over it. In this particular instance, he is no hero or victim. Clarence Colburn, Thornton

As a native Coloradan, it did my heart good to read this article. Sen. Greg Brophy presented the complete lunacy of House Bill 1229 and showed that outside the cities of Denver, Aurora and Boulder, common sense is still alive. Kudos. Sheldon McClaury, Aurora

I’m sure somebody has already suggested this, but just in case they haven’t: Apply 100 percent of the spending cuts required by sequestration to the salaries of employees in the executive and legislative branches of government.

No state money for fracking bans It would be wrong for the state to compensate mineral rights owners who are denied royalties due to local fracking bans.

he governor seems to think there’s a role for the state to play in helping compensate mineral rights owners who are denied royalties due to local fracking bans. We disagree, and strenuously so. It’s a bad idea from both practical and philosophical standpoints. Last week, just after the Fort Collins City Council voted to ban fracking, Gov. John Hickenlooper visited with the city’s newspaper, The Coloradoan. He acknowledged the oil and gas extraction technique known as fracking was troubling to some residents. And he expressed concern for those who own mineral rights, saying a fracking ban is equivalent to a “taking” of their property. The governor, according to The Coloradoan, said the value of those mineral rights would have to be determined so the owners could be compensated. While we agree that if mineral rights owners were to see their property taken they ought to be paid for those rights, the process of determining value would be a messy one. Would it be the cost owners paid to acquire rights, or the market rate? And how would one determine market rate? It’s the next part of what Hickenlooper said that concerns us even more. “Maybe there’s a way a community can put up some of the money, the state puts up some of the money,” he said, according to the Coloradoan. And: “How can the state be a part-

ner in this? How can we compensate the property owners of the minerals?” The state? Why in the world would the state underwrite local bans? This is a mess created by local government officials who have banned fracking, and we think illegally so. The Colorado Supreme Court said in 1992 that a city, in that instance Greeley, could not ban oil drilling. It’s not a stretch to believe they’d rule the same way on fracking. The law is not on the side of local governments enacting bans, and they ought to bear the financial burden of their decisions. Furthermore, just where would state compensation money come from? It’s not as if Colorado has uncommitted wads of cash laying about. Another concern is that the state getting involved in compensation would undercut Colorado’s painstakingly crafted oil and gas drilling rules, which are designed to provide statewide health and safety standards. Joining communities that have banned fracking in compensating mineral rights owners implicitly endorses community fears about the extraction process. It insinuates that Colorado’s recently hashed-out statewide standards aren’t good enough. We understand as well as anyone that the governor is a man of compromise, one who is always looking to find common ground to solve problems. Most of the time, it is an approach that serves him well. But on this matter we think he is going down the wrong road.

Where does state stand on broadband build-out? Officials with EAGLE-Net need to explain the logic behind the way it has gone about high-speed Internet expansion.

he jury is out on whether the stimulus-funded expansion of Internet broadband in Colorado has wasted money, but it’s certainly the right question to ask. It has been dismaying to read about the government paying to install duplicative fiber-optic lines when this grant was intended to light up parts of the state that do not get high-speed Internet. We understand how some overlap may be necessary as the network expands like a spider web to cover the state. However, officials with EAGLENet, the quasi-government agency in charge of a $100.6 million federal stimulus grant, have done a lousy job explaining the logic behind the way it has gone about high-speed Internet expansion. That’s assuming it’s defensible. The grant, one of the largest in the country when it was awarded in 2010, was intended to connect 230 institutions to high-speed Internet. The idea was that once the government did the heavy lifting of laying fiber-optic lines in rugged mountain terrain and the far reaches of the Eastern Plains to connect schools and other educational institutions, private companies would build out the system from there, enabling business and residences eventually to benefit from this “middle mile” project. According to a story in last Sunday’s Denver Post by Andy Vuong, 104 institutions can have access to the EAGLE-Net system, but only 39 are

connected, and those have multiple contracts for Internet access. Only 21 institutions that could have access are on the Western Slope — and just two are getting services. That track record is part of what has prompted scrutiny of the project, and deservedly so. We think those running EAGLENet ought to address these issues: • Give the public a firm schedule about which of the so-called community anchor institutions will be connected and when. • If there is duplication, note it and explain why additional fiber is a wise investment. • EAGLE-Net is six months from its supposed completion date. Will the project be finished on time and — given the $96 million spent so far — on budget? If not, officials need to ask the federal government for an extension and provide an explanation. • EAGLE-Net should address the issue of compensation for its employees and oversight of expenditures in general. The Post reported the entity has had three chief executives and two chief financial officers, each earning more than $200,000. Why? The grant for broadband expansion in Colorado provided an opportunity to achieve a laudable goal — bringing a modern platform for communication to poorly served or unserved communities. Its aim was to go places that private business had found too costly to connect. Policymakers cannot allow such an opportunity to go to waste.

Smear and loathing

olorado lawmakers this year have taken on several highprofile issues that have resulted in heated debates and regrettable comments. From tackling gun laws to legalizing civil unions, from authorizing in-state tuition for illegal immigrants to changing rules on teaching sex education in public schools, the issues have provided ample opportunity for everyone from politicians to pundits to taste their shoes (just ask Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, or Sen. Evie Hudak, D-Westminster). But it was a less-contentious bill proposing mandatory 25-year minimum sentences for sex offenders whose victims are children that drew the sexual orientation of House Speaker Mark Ferrandino — who is gay — into the debate for the first time. It may not surprise you to learn that a fact-challenged, bigoted line of attack came courtesy of a Fox News Channel talking head — specifically Bill O’Reilly. O’Reilly wants to see a version of “Jessica’s Law” passed in every state. As The Denver Post’s Lynn Bartels reported last week, the law is named after Jessica Lunsford, a 9-year-old from Florida who was sexually assaulted and buried alive by a convicted sex offender who had served his sentence. O’Reilly explored the issue in a Feb. 22 interview with Colo. Rep. Libby Szabo, R-Arvada, who sponsored the legislation in Colorado

CURTIS HUBBARD Denver Post editorial page editor

this year. The measure was defeated on a party-line vote of the State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee — where unpopular bills often go to die — on Feb. 13. Its death at the hands of the majority party was not surprising given the bill was not supported by police, prosecutors or defense attorneys. Add in the fact that previous votes on the issue have been used in political attack ads against Democrats and that the measure has only been introduced in the state when Republicans are in the minority, and you get a sense of the politics. But O’Reilly was miffed and decided to make Ferrandino — who sent the bill to the so-called “kill committee” — his villain. In the interview with Szabo, O’Reilly pondered the reasoning behind the bill’s demise. His only hypothesis was an error-filled declaration that showed all that is wrong with cable punditry. “Now this Ferrandino” (he pronounced it Fair-nan-dino), “I understand he is the, what, the first openly gay House speaker in Colorado? He was a fervent gay-marriage person. He objected when gay mar-

riage was first tabled because they sent it into the same committee to kill it that he sent Jessica’s law in. All of that true so far of this guy?” “So far you’re correct,” Szabo responded. Is there a rule somewhere that says Republicans who appear on Fox have to agree with every softball thrown their way by the talent? You’d think so, given that, in fact, O’Reilly was confusing gay marriage with civil unions. But when the pitchforks are out and the camera is rolling, why bother with the facts? O’Reilly’s fear-mongering should offend all Coloradans. He was saying “gay,” but what he wanted his listeners to hear was “pervert-pedophile.” Disagree? Then you try explaining what Ferrandino’s sexual orientation and stance on civil unions has to do with Jessica’s Law. Are Colorado’s sentencing guidelines for child sex offenders too weak or, as some some opponents of them contend, among the strongest in the nation? Those are fair questions. In fact, lawmakers are going to ask the state’s Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice to look into them in advance of next year’s legislative session. What’s not fair — and, in fact, is deplorable — is dragging sexual orientation into the debate. E-mail Curtis Hubbard at chubbard@denverpost.com. Follow him on Twitter: @curtishubbard

Shaking pennies at Moe and Larry A

re you nuts? Got a screw loose? Few tacos short of a fiesta platter? Couple heat tiles missing from the ol’ space shuttle? A hump short of a camel? Playing solitaire for cash? When you listen to your iPod, do the earbuds touch? Like to catch a Frisbee in your teeth and bring it back to your dog? If you answered any of those questions by staring at a tree for seven minutes and then shouting “VICE PRESIDENT ALBEN W. BARKLEY,” you may want to apply for one of several vacant jobs in the Boulder Police Department. Seriously, after months of disturbing news about that village’s police officers, I think I speak for all of us when I ask this question: Just what the heck are the Boulder cops putting in their pot brownies? Among the cops who recently resigned before they could be fired were a stalker; the department’s DUI officer, who was charged with drunken driving; an alleged drunken -driving detective who may have been pulled over 44 times previously; and two cops who love elk — with a baked potato and a salad. Batting leadoff today for the Boulder Bedlamites is Christian McCracken, a former town cop who sent an ex-girlfriend 10 to 20 text messages a day and called her five or six times daily, she said. Then he started hanging around in a menacing way at her place of work, which was, unfortunately for him, the police station. He pleaded guilty to felony stalking.

Last November, Boulder detective Scott Morris was stopped on U.S. 36 by a sheriff’s deputy who noted the cop had bloodshot and watery eyes and had alcohol on his breath. This, deputies suspect, was probably because he’d been drinking heavily. According to the Boulder Daily Camera, when asked to perform a roadside DUI test, Morris asked, “Can’t you just cut me a ticket?” The answer was “no,” and when deputies searched Morris’ car, they found SWAT team gear and loaded magazines for an assault rifle. Oops. Then we have Elizabeth Ward, the Boulder Police DUI officer. She was spotted in her car by an off-duty Arvada police officer while allegedly weaving on Interstate 25. She pulled over even before on-duty cops arrived. When asked why she pulled over, she allegedly said, “I’m drunk.” She apparently wasn’t kidding, proving her point moments later by nearly falling down during the sobriety test. Then, of course, there are cops — now ex-cops — Sam Carter and Brent Curnow, who like to hunt elk but don’t like to venture into the mountains because, as you know, a person can be horribly mauled up there by all kinds of animals, such

as marmots, ground squirrels and gigantic rogue blue jays. So Moe and Larry — I mean Carter and Curnow — allegedly planned an elk hunt right there in a residential area of Goofyville. I mean Boulder. Related footnote: Animal-loving Boulderites spent weeks recently trying to chase coyotes off a popular hiking trail by, among other techniques, shaking jars containing pennies. Carter and Curnow exchanged text messages about their plans to shoot the elk, investigators said, and on the night of Jan. 1, Carter took a department shotgun from his police car, crept with great stealth across Ninth Street and killed the quite tame elk with a shotgun blast, dropping the huge animal in someone’s front yard. Carter whipped out his phone, and moments later Curnow showed up with his pickup truck. The elk was loaded up and taken away. No police report was filed, either because the officers didn’t want to leave a paper trail or, more likely, because neither of them could spell e-l-k. Each man is charged with four felonies and five misdemeanors and could spend time in prison if convicted. I say it’s time for the Boulder administrators to look a bit closer at the men and women they hire. I say it’s time they chase off any more bad cops. Perhaps by shaking jars of pennies at them.

OP-ED CARROLL «FROM 1D transferred to Saudi Arabia under the terms of the Inter-American Convention on Serving Criminal Sentences Abroad. They can stand up for the principle of equality before the law. “This would be a miscarriage of justice if it were to take place,” says George Brauchler, district attorney for the 18th Judicial District that includes Arapahoe County. “It doesn’t make sense that we’re going to cut a guy loose to go back to a country that doesn’t view this as a crime and doesn’t view our evidence as good enough.” Brauchler wasn’t DA when Al-Turki was convicted, but the chief deputy who prosecuted the case, Ann Tomsic, remembers the victim well. “I’m primarily a homicide prosecutor,” Tomsic told me. “Most of my crimes take place as fast as you can pull a trigger and as fast as someone can run. … The thing that is overwhelmingly different about human trafficking is that this man had possession, ownership, of this young woman for years. And day after day, week after week, month after month, he continued his abuse … keeping this woman against her will when she’s asking to go home. And not paying her. “Think of someone living in the United States during the period she was here and having no idea of current events. She was in the basement of the Al-Turki home when 9/11 happened. She’d never heard of it. … That’s how isolated she was.” The victim — a sexually and socially naïve 18-year-old when she arrived in Colorado with Al-Turki’s family in 2000 — slept next to the water heater in the upper-middle-class home, where she was sexually assaulted again and again. “Her day would start literally before sunrise and she’d be up until midnight finishing the laundry after she got the kids to bed,” Tomsic said. “She worked seven days a week. She didn’t have weekends off or vacation.” She received medical care once, for an abscessed tooth. And she was intimidated by repeated threats Al-Turki in of what would happen if she 2006. bolted to local authorities. By the time prosecutors interviewed her, “she was just a shutdown person,” Tomsic says. “Federal authorities recognized pretty quickly that she was probably a human trafficking victim, so … she was taken to a battered women’s shelter. Even women in the shelter would talk about how she was afraid to go into a secure courtyard. She was so subservient after 4½ years of being a slave that she would do the other women’s chores.” Al-Turki was convicted of 12 counts of unlawful sexual contact, criminal extortion, theft of services and false imprisonment, and was sentenced to 20 years to life for each of the sex charges alone. But then, with his high-priced legal team exploiting every angle, things started going his way. Two years ago, a judge reduced Al-Turki’s sentence to eight years to life, making him eligible for parole — in part because of a glowing letter of support by former prison chief Ari Zavaras, who claimed Al-Turki had “devoted himself to helping others.” And although Al-Turki was denied parole that year, just two weeks later Saudi Arabia ratified the very treaty under which Al-Turki is now seeking a transfer. Finally, just last month corrections officials confirmed that he has cleared initial administrative hurdles to be transferred, with the final decision pending. The governor’s spokesman tells me Hickenlooper is not involved in the Al-Turki decision, so it will be Clements’ call — which, if it’s a green light, will then require a Justice Department sign-off. Fortunately, the local U.S. attorney, John Walsh, has voiced opposition to the transfer, but that doesn’t guarantee his boss in Washington will agree. And as Brauchler argues, it shouldn’t get that far. “He’s refused to acknowledge responsibility. He’s refused to participate in sex offender treatment,” Brauchler tells me. “What his supporters will tell you is, well, he’s got religious objections. So, we just throw in the towel and say he’s good to go?” Would any American sex offender in such complete denial be released like this? “The victim does want him to acknowledge his wrongdoing to her,” Tomsic says. “And she wants him to try to better himself through treatment … . She is also cognizant that if he goes back to Saudi Arabia, he will have opportunities” with servants again. That’s putting it delicately. “Saudi Arabia is a destination country for men and women subjected to forced labor and, to a lesser extent, forced prostitution,” according to the State Department’s 2012 report on Trafficking in Persons. Moreover, “the government of Saudi Arabia does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not making significant efforts to do so. … Domestic workers — the population most vulnerable to forced labor — remained excluded from general labor law protections, and employers continued to regularly withhold workers’ passports as a means of keeping them in forced labor.” Withhold a worker’s passport? Why, that’s what Al-Turki did with his victim. Is it any wonder that he and the Saudi government were shocked at his conviction? Too bad. If he won’t seek treatment, then let him stay where is he is, quarantined far from the next unsuspecting maid who might fall into his grasp. E-mail Vincent Carroll at vcarroll@ denverpost.com.

Point-Counterpoint Will Obamacare deliver needed reforms?

YES: A≠ordable Care Act will usher in reforms

NO: Free market can ﬁx flaws in the health system

By Beth Meyerson

By R. Bruce Josten

he new Affordable Care Act provides both short- and long-term plans for health improvement. Its success depends on full implementation of short-term health insurance access and long-term public health elements. Public health is the act’s long-term game plan to improve health and reduce cost, because it addresses the determinants of health — those conditions that make us well or sick. Without public health systems and programs, our sick care system will continue to grow in size and cost. This point should not be lost during our current debate the impact of budget cuts. ACA’s short-term game plan expands health insurance access using public and market mechanisms. Important patient protections and incentives for preventive health screenings will identify leading causes of illness and death. This will lead to early and manageable treatment, resulting in healthier populations and reduced health system costs associated with late diagnosis. Our short-term success is mediated by our system of government. States decide whether to expand insurance access for the working poor through Medicaid. As of today, 14 states will not do so. Of note is that people in these same states have the burden of the worst health outcomes in our country. So, the jury will be out about the full extent of health benefit from reform for these Americans. Enter: the public health system. ACA’s public health system investments are historic, and bolster the safety-net health system to assure access for those estimated 24 million people who will not be granted insurance access under ACA. Examples include community health centers, mental health centers, local health departments, family planning clinics and migrant health centers. While health-care access is an important determinant of health, it is by far not the only one. Let’s face it. We’re overweight or obese. We smoke. We eat food about which we know little, and we are sedentary. Reducing our weight, eating well, stopping smoking and increasing activity would significantly reduce our chronic health conditions, lead to more productive lives and reduce the need for sick care. The job of the public health system is to make these life changes easier by addressing the environmental, policy, social, community and behavioral conditions that must change in order to make healthier behaviors possible and easier. The ACA provides unprecedented support for public health because it is the only reform component focusing on reducing demand for health care by addressing the determinants of health. This public health game plan, however, is less certain because of our historic tenuous relationship with public health investment. Congress threatens to eliminate the Prevention and Public Health Fund that provides grants to states and communities to reduce chronic disease, improve nutrition and increase physical activity. The fund also strengthens the primary care safety net, prevention research centers, public health workforce, laboratory infrastructure, breast and cervical cancer screening and all the other safetynet and preventive activities that sustain population health and reduce system cost. We lose that fund, and we lose the health game in the long run. Health insurance access is part of our health, but it alone cannot go the distance to assure health for all populations. Public health’s preventive, systems approach to health determinants will help us win the long race toward health. The vision of ACA — with both short and long-term game plans — will usher in the reforms America needs. We must fully invest to benefit.

he Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has failed to live up to its promises — or even its name. Instead, health-care costs continue to climb. Millions of Americans remain, and will continue to remain, uninsured or underinsured, while millions of others will lose the coverage they have. Patients have inadequate information about the quality and value of many health-care services, limiting their ability to make well-informed choices. More Americans than ever are suffering from preventable chronic diseases, which significantly drive up costs. But one thing seems certain: The law isn’t going anywhere. Therefore, additional efforts to advance the meaningful health-care solutions we need must be done in conjunction with implementation of the law. The business community is advocating several crucial changes. First, we must find ways to bend the cost curve significantly. Our medical liability system breeds excessive litigation, encourages needless tests and procedures, and drives specialists from their practices. It must be reformed to bring down costs. We must expand competition, transparency and consumer choice. And we must reduce duplication and spending by deploying health information technology and attacking fraud and abuse in both public and private programs. We also must address entitlement programs, which are on course to bankrupt the federal government and our states and threaten to leave future generations without a safety net. We can put these programs on sound footing by enacting reasonable and gradual changes. Higher premiums and co-pays should be phased in for those who can afford them. There must be incentives for greater choice and competition. We must do more to encourage and help low-income individuals obtain private insurance coverage and states should have greater flexibility in running their Medicaid programs. We must prevent and manage chronic conditions and diseases such as obesity, high-blood pressure and diabetes, which are the leading drivers of health-care costs. Employers should promote workplace wellness and have the flexibility to incentivize healthy behaviors. Providers should be rewarded for improving health and wellness, not just treating illnesses. And it should be a national priority to promote wellness and personal health responsibility. We must continue efforts to cover 45 million uninsured Americans and make sure that all citizens have access to affordable health services. There should be a level tax playing field for those who have insurance through their employers and those who buy it on their own. We should allow greater flexibility in both employer-sponsored and individually purchased plans so consumers can choose the plan that’s right for them. We should encourage the expansion of community-based medical clinics to expand access to basic services. We must improve quality through transparency and innovation. Consumers must have access to the performance records of doctors and hospitals, and they must share in the responsibility of making informed choices regarding treatments and services. Providers should be more clearly rewarded for quality care, health outcomes, and overall performance. Finally, U.S. businesses, scientists and research institutions must continue to create new health care advances in products, treatments, and technologies — America can’t afford to lose this competitive advantage. We can’t reform American health care by simply passing another bill or enacting a new federal program. Genuine reform requires a society-wide effort.

he thing I remember most from my winter as a frack rat is the KCl bags. KCl is the chemical symbol for potassium chloride, a salt we used in the water pumped into underperforming oil and gas wells. It came in crystals the size of playground sand grains, and it was packaged in 100-pound bags. You had to pick the bag up from a pallet and carry it up a long flight of metal stairs that were, in January, often ice-slicked. The experience was terrifying and, physically, almost more than I could manage. We’d get to the yard at 2 a.m. for most jobs. The company men liked to start fracking at dawn, and often there was more than one stage, which took the day. We’d load up the sand and the chemicals, and fill the tank trucks with water and hydrochloric acid. The fumes came up out of the tank hatch; you choked and coughed if you turned your head the wrong way, and you always made sure to put the water in first. Do it the other way, and acid foam would cover the yard. Then we’d convoy to the site, 10 or 12 trucks cruising through gears up hills toward the breathtaking sunrise, Waylon Jennings and Queen on the radio. Once we got to the dirt square of the wellhead, we’d unload the iron pipe, and hammer the joints together. I’d “beat iron” tentatively, but the wind-burned young “hands” shone at it, swinging the 6-pound hammers high above their heads and landing precisely on the joint, making it move a little with each impact. They were heroic against the pink sky, early light glinting off hard hats and safety glasses. Once the job started, the noise was overwhelming. Even with ear protectors, it was sometimes painful to walk across a site when the pumps were going. We would pull water from huge tanks, mix it with a gelling powder, then turn up the sand flow gradually until we were pumping enough sand with the water to increase the permeability of the oil- or gas-bearing formation. The pressure was high enough to kill someone, if a hose or pipe got loose, and invariably somewhere there was a leak. Most wellheads were 6 inches deep in gelled mud by the end of a job. In mid-afternoon or evening (some jobs went for 20 hours), we’d pull into the yard, clean up the trucks, and try to make sure our Department of Transportation logs didn’t break the law. The company man would come in later, open the valve on the wellhead, and the waste water would stream out, to a toxic lake lined with plastic. On a gas well, if there was too much coming out with the water, he’d sometimes light the stuff coming out of the exhaust pipe, to burn it off in a spectacular fume. I only worked in the field for a year or so. And I never agreed with the politics around me, didn’t understand the single-minded quest for hydrocarbon that so routinely trashed the wild land. One afternoon, a friend and I found a baby bird in a nest on the ground close to a wellhead, mouth open, weakly chirping. We checked later, and it was dead. We never told anyone. There was never a place in the conversation for it. When I consider those days, it is with some regret; it’s the one time when the civil treatment of the natural world, in my life, took a decided back seat to the singleminded pursuit of a resource, when I left the land behind me not just denuded but also destroyed. And yet, the scent of diesel mixed with dust never fails to bring me back to that truck yard in Artesia, N.M. It’s honest, challenging, wellpaid work out there in the oil and gas fields, but to do it, you have to forget about the costs.

PERSPECTIVE «5D

OP-ED Tackling the latest superbug threat

A new civil rights movement By Dottie Lamm

et’s say you are terminally ill, and someone asks if you would like to have the choice to end your life when you no longer want to struggle or suffer, and to have a physician help you do it. Close to 80 percent of you would answer “yes.” However, if you were asked if this choice should be enacted into law, you would be less sure. According to a 2011 Gallup poll, only 45 percent of you would agree that a terminally ill patient should have the legal right to receive lethal medicine from a physician and then self-administer it to achieve a peaceful death. Legislation to allow physician aid in dying has long been controversial, even when people admit wanting it themselves. This is partially because its opponents have conjured up such scare phrases as “death panels,” “slippery slopes,” and “mercy killings.” And opponents continue these fear tactics despite the fact that the Oregon Death with Dignity Act passed in 1994 belies all of the above fabrications. The Oregon law, enacted in part through the efforts of Compassion and Choices — the only consumer advocacy group in the Nation for those facing end of life issues — includes very stringent protections: • To receive a lethal prescription from a doctor, two physicians must confirm that the person is terminal and has six months or less to live. • The patient must be of sound mind when requesting the prescription, and must make the request twice verbally at least 15 days apart. • The person must then make a written request witnessed by someone other than a family member or caregiver. • The patient then can administer the medicine at a time of his choosing and must administer it himself. The only “assist” from the physician is filling the prescription. In Oregon, there has been no evidence of any “slippery slope” that would abuse the poor, the uninsured, minority populations, or the otherwise disenfranchised. In fact, a study of those terminally ill patients who have requested lethal medicine reveals exactly the opposite characteristics: 97 percent are white; 67 percent have attended college; and 98 are insured. Barbara Coombs Lee, president of Compassion and Choices and a former nurse and physician assistant, is proud of the fact the organization lobbied for the Oregon law, along with the more recent Death with Dignity Law in Washington state and a Montana Supreme Court ruling which allows the same. However, in a speech to board members and supporters in Denver last month, she emphasized that it is the care, the education and the advocacy the group does for the dying in general that is even more important. Nationally, Compassion and Choices has grown by 30,000 members over the past three years, and expects to grow it by 12,000 more this year. Although Colorado has no law allowing physicians to assist dying patients with a lethal prescription, that could change. Various versions of such legislation are presently being considered in at least six other states. Coombs Lee says that physician aid in dying is an issue in which “the people are way ahead of the politicians.” No wonder, when you realize that baby boomers, who are now retiring at the rate of 10,000 a day, will want control over their deaths just as they have always wanted control over their lives. Dr. Charles Hamlin, a retired Denver surgeon and member of both the National and Colorado Boards of Compassion and Choices, calls control over one’s death, the “major civil rights movement of the next 10 or 15 years.” Is there, just perhaps, someone in the Colorado legislature who would want to “catch up with the people” and lead this burgeoning civil rights movement? I hope so. Dottie Lamm, former first lady of Colorado is a psychiatric social worker and a political activist. Compassion and Choices can be reached at 800-247-7421 or www.Compassion AndChoices.org.

Part of a new exhibit — “Patriot. President. Peacemaker.” — at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Yorba Linda, Calif. Damian Dovarganes, Associated Press file

Once again, an exhibit at the Nixon Library obscures history By Jon Wiener

he Nixon Presidential Library and Museum opened a new exhibit in Yorba Linda, Calif., and online last month, called “Patriot, President, Peacemaker.” It covers Richard Nixon’s entire life, like the permanent installation there, and claims to present “a fuller picture” than ever before. But there’s a gap, reminiscent of the 18½ -minute gap in the famous White House tapes. On one panel, it’s October 1973 and the Yom Kippur War is underway. Nixon is telling Henry Kissinger, “Whatever it takes, save Israel.” On the next panel, it’s Aug. 9, 1974, and Nixon is landing in Orange County, telling a crowd that he promises “to continue to fight at home and abroad for the great causes of peace, freedom and opportunity.” We go from “Peacemaker in his Time” to “Life after the White House.” What’s missing is Watergate. Forty years after Watergate, you might think the Nixon Library would have accepted its place in American history. You certainly would think the National Archives had; it operates the presidential libraries. But the new exhibit in Yorba Linda shows that the Nixon people are still working on a coverup. And the National Archives is not stopping them. Defenders of “Patriot, President, Peacemaker” say the Watergate story is already told in the museum’s permanent galleries, in an exhibit that went up in 2011. That’s true, but the permanent galleries also cover most of the rest of what’s

in the “fuller picture.” Now, in one part of the museum, visitors find the Watergate story told completely and fairly; in another, it’s all but nonexistent. This is something special in the world of presidential libraries: a museum at war with itself. The new exhibit is symptomatic of a deeper malaise at the library. After installing the 2011 Watergate exhibit to widespread acclaim, the library’s director, Timothy Naftali, resigned. He has not been replaced. And the final release of the Nixon White House tapes, which was scheduled for December, has been delayed for nearly a year. What is going on in Yorba Linda? And what is going on at the National Archives in Washington? “Patriot, President, Peacemaker” is framed as part of an ongoing celebration of Nixon’s centennial. Along with a virtual version, engagingly designed for tablets, it addresses Watergate purely as an aside. Under the “Life after the White House” heading, there’s a photo “Leaving on Marine One,” with a two-sentence caption: “On Aug. 9, 1974, Richard Nixon resigned the presidency rather than continue the political battle over the Watergate scandal, which was leading to a vote on impeachment in the House of Representatives.” But what was Watergate? Why was it a “scandal”? Why was Nixon forced out? Here’s what’s missing: Nixon is the only president ever to have resigned because even his fellow Republicans in Congress were convinced he was guilty of obstruction of justice and abuse of power. There was a “smoking gun”

tape recording: Nixon telling his assistants to get the CIA to tell the FBI to stop investigating the White House coverup of a break-in at the Democratic National Committee, headquartered at the Watergate complex in Washington, during the 1972 presidential campaign. As to what’s going on at the library, it appears that in the absence of a new director, the Nixon Foundation, staffed and funded by Nixon loyalists, is asserting itself again in Yorba Linda. The foundation built the facility, managed it for 17 years and still sponsors programs there. It portrayed Watergate, in an early museum exhibit, as merely a third-rate burglary exploited by Nixon’s enemies. But in order to become the official repository of Nixon’s presidential papers and to join the federal presidential library system, the library agreed to cede control to the National Archives, and a new Watergate exhibit was set in motion. That project faced fierce resistance from the foundation. When the Nixon Library put up its unvarnished Watergate portrayal in 2011, it did something brave and immensely valuable. Instead of serving primarily as a shrine for the veneration of the president, it presented a more responsible, independent and accurate historical account. We need more of that, at all the presidential libraries — and especially in Yorba Linda. Jon Wiener is a professor of history at the University of California Irvine. He wrote this for the Los Angeles Times.

Pop-Tart terrorist

odney Francis is insufficiently ambitious. The pastor of the Washington Tabernacle Baptist Church in St. Louis has entered the fray over guns, violence and humanity’s fallen nature with a plan for a “buyback” of children’s toy guns. And toy swords and other make-believe weapons. There is, however, a loophole in the pastor’s panacea. He neglects the problem of ominously nibbled and menacingly brandished breakfast pastries. Joshua Welch — a boy, wouldn’t you know; no good can come of these turbulent creatures — who is 7, was suspended from second grade in Maryland’s Anne Arundel County last week because of his “Pop-Tart pistol.” While eating a rectangular fruit-filled sugary something , Joshua tried biting it into the shape of a mountain, but decided it looked more like a gun. So with gender-specific perversity he did the natural thing. He said, “Bang, bang.” But is this really natural? Or is nature taking a back seat to nurture, yet again? Is Joshua’s “bang, bang” a manifestation of some prompting in our defective social atmosphere, and therefore something society could and should stamp out? Joshua’s school, taking its cue from Hamlet, did not allow its resolve to be “sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought.” More eager to act than to think, the school suspended Joshua and sent a letter to all the pupils’ parents, urging them to discuss the “incident” — which the school includes in the category

GEORGE F. WILL

Washington Post Writers Group

“classroom disruptions” — with their children “in a manner you deem most appropriate.” Ah, yes. The all-purpose adjective “appropriate.” The letter said “one of our students used food to make inappropriate gestures” and although “no physical threats were made and no one was harmed” the code of student conduct stipulates “appropriate consequences.” The letter, suffused with the therapeutic ethic, suggested that parents help their children “share their feelings” about all this. It also said the school counselor is available, presumably to cope with Post-Pastry Trauma Syndrome. By now, Americans may be numb to such imbecilities committed by the government institutions to which they entrust their children for instruction. Nothing surprises after that 5-year-old Pennsylvania girl was labeled a “terroristic threat,” suspended from school and ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation because she talked about shooting herself and others with her Hello Kitty gun that shoots bubbles. Perhaps we should welcome these multiplying episodes as tutorials about the nature of the regulatory state that swaddles us ever more snuggly with its caring. If so, give thanks for the four Minnesota state legislators whose bill would ban “bullying” at school. They define this as the use of

words, images or actions that interfere with an individual’s ability “to participate in a safe and supportive learning environment.” Bullying may include, among many other things, conduct that has a “detrimental effect” on a student’s “emotional health.” Or conduct that “creates or exacerbates a real or perceived imbalance of power between students.” Or violates a student’s “reasonable expectation of privacy.” Or conduct that “does not rise to the level of harassment” but “relates to” — yes, relates to — “the actual or perceived race, ethnicity, color, creed, religion, national origin, immigration status, sex, age, marital status, familial status, socioeconomic status, physical appearance, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, academic status, disability, or status with regard to public assistance, age, or any additional characteristic defined” in another Minnesota statute. If this becomes law, it will further empower the kind of relentless improvers and mindless protectors who panic over Pop-Tart pistols and discern terrorism in Hello Kitty bubble guns. Government is failing spectacularly at its core functions, such as budgeting and educating. Yet it continues to multiply its peripheral and esoteric responsibilities, tasks that require it to do things for which it has no aptitude, such as thinking and making commonsense judgments. Government nowadays is not just embarrassing, it is inappropriate.

his past summer at the University of Colorado Hospital, doctors discovered a rare superbug had infiltrated their hospital after the bacteria was detected in eight patients. Nearly 2,000 miles away, this superbug quickly spread through the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, killing seven people. The bug, known as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, or CRE, adapts quickly, is resistant to the most potent antibiotics, and preys on the most vulnerable populations in health-care facilities. Because CRE are resistant to most available antibiotics, they are difficult to treat, and can result in death for up to 50 percent of patients who become infected. The Vital Signs report released last week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveals CRE is increasingly finding their way into intensive-care units and long-term health facilities in the United States. Although the numbers of infections are likely still small, this looming public health threat is one that must be decisively addressed. “We only have a limited window of opportunity to stop the spread” of these superbugs, said CDC director Tom Frieden, who added he was “sounding an alarm.” Over the last decade, CDC has tracked the spread of these bugs from a single health-care facility in North Carolina in 2001 to health-care facilities in at least 42 states. A new study published in Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology reports a significant increase in CRE bacteria found in health-care settings like long-term care facilities and nursing homes. This trend suggests that patients are unknowingly transferring the bug between hospitals and longterm-care facilities. We have a small window of opportunity to control this serious threat, when it is potentially manageable. Data from CDC suggest that in the first half of 2012, only about 200 hospitals and long-term acute-care hospitals have cared for patients with CRE infections, but the recent upward trend in infection rates is cause for concern. To effectively combat superbugs like CRE, we need to confront the problem at hand that has allowed them to thrive — the overuse of antibiotics in health care. Studies have shown that one-third of antibiotics prescribed to patients in hospitals are unnecessary. The overuse of antibiotics breeds drug-resistant infections, which negatively affects patients, hospitals and our entire health-care system. One study showed that simply giving a patient carbapenem (a strong antibiotic that can sometimes kill off healthy gut bacteria) increases the risk of contracting CRE by a factor of 15. Improving the use of antibiotics in a hospital can actually save the hospital $400,000 or more per year. The entire health-care system benefits when we improve antibiotic use and decrease drug-resistance. Health-care facilities must take a proactive approach to implement programs that improve antibiotic use. Health-care professionals should take every precaution to prevent the spread of deadly infections, including simple tasks like hand washing. Patients should feel empowered to question their doctors and nurses about whether an antibiotic prescription is necessary. There has been much attention on the rising costs of health care. Here, we have an opportunity to invest in a proven approach that will provide rapid health benefits and cost savings to the American people. Through a coordinated effort, we can ensure the health and safety of patients by staving off the spread of antibiotic-resistant superbugs like CRE, save healthcare dollars, and most important, save lives.

KIDD «FROM 1D dences, whether as a residential brothel or as an in-call service with a family member or intimate partner trafficking their victim out of their own homes,” explained Becky Bullard of the Denver Anti-Trafficking Alliance. Prax(us), a local non-profit victims support group, works to connect trafficking survivors with services in the city, a struggle on any given night due to the shortage of shelter space. “We find folks experiencing severe forms of exploitation are also homeless,” said Prax(us) director of education and advocacy, Emily Lafferrandre. “I would say shelter is the number one important need that is lacking. There’s never enough beds.” Lafferrandre’s group believes another barrier to preventing runaways and homeless youth from ending up in vulnerable situations is Denver’s urban camping ban. Enacted in response to last spring’s Occupy Denver campaign, in which scores of protesters set up camps in city parks and sidewalks, Lafferrandre and many other advocates for the homeless say the ban has served to criminalize homelessness without providing enough alternate means of shelter. She says the ban pushes the homeless further underground where they are more likely to fall victim to traffickers. Prax(us) has built relationships with the service providers around Denver so that when the group connects with a person in need, they go through their list and find what’s available at that moment, based on the age, gender and condition of the one seeking help. Sometimes help may not be available for days. “International trafficking victims are eligible for benefits such as food stamps and ongoing case management. Unfortunately, not a lot of institutions exist for domestic trafficking survivors, so we are constantly borrowing from other systems,” Lafferrandre said. “One difficult challenge is ensuring there are long-term services for both adult and minor victims of sex trafficking that address their complex needs as a result of the physical, social, spiritual, economic and psychological trauma they have endured,” explained Denver Anti-Trafficking Alliance program manager

ability,” but, just as the fast food industry co-opted nutrition and convenience in the last century, the assessment industry is co-opting our children’s education now. As Albert Einstein said, “Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.” Would that the measurement advocates would measure the unintended consequences of their decisions. Our political leaders — surprise — have bent under the pressure of businessmen wearing the masks of “rigor” and “accountability.” They have sacrificed our children’s joy of learning on the alter of expediency.

edge in the context of a given task, determine what their students know and what they need to learn, based on standards developed by that school, district or, possibly, state. Teachers should take students where they are and help them progress at their own developmental rates. And good teachers are doing that every day. Not because of standardized tests, but in spite of them. Students’ abilities can be evaluated in many, creative ways. The idea that every student take the same test at the same time is nothing more than the warmed-over factory model of education used in the 1950s, now laughingly called “education reform.” As Oscar Wilde has observed, “Conformity is the last refuge of the unimaginative.”

Becky Bullard. Just three weeks ago, a treatment and housing facility, Amy’s House, opened for girls under 18 who have been rescued from sex traffickers. (A 9News story on the facility can be seen at http://on9news.tv/UAeO7Z.) Other groups like Street’s Hope, which serves women over 18 who have come out of the sex industry, are in the trenches everyday, relying on charitable donations, fundraisers and whatever grants they can get. “When I tell people our budget is $168,000 a year — that covers staff, the yearlong program for residents, the outreach we do four times a year on Colfax, everything — they can’t believe it,” said Nina Martinez, executive director for Street’s Hope. Martinez sounds a bit like lady liberty when she speaks of the women her facility has been able to shelter since 2008, “They come to us tired and broken and wanting rest.” Which is what they receive, along with individual and group counseling, job training, food and hygiene items, even spiritual ministry if they would like, and Martinez finds many of them do. “We are unique in that we are faithbased, and right now a lot of our funding comes from churches, but it’s not our agenda to evangelize these women. Our priority is treating them holistically and helping them get to a place where they can recover. We try to do our work with grace and love,” Martinez said. The U.S. Department of State says human trafficking responds to market demands, inadequate laws, weak

penalties and economic instability. In other words, it’s happening everywhere and in many forms. “We’ve seen that Colorado is different from the East and West coasts,” stated Amanda Finger, co-founder of the Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking (LCHT), a group working to develop guidelines for Colorado communities to better identify and address gaps in combating human trafficking. The group hosted a first-of-its-kind conference in Denver in early March to share results from its comprehensive research study, the Colorado Project. The goal of the conference was to improve understanding and collaboration among anti-trafficking groups. LCHT’s mission to end all forms of human trafficking focuses on four key elements: prevention, protection, prosecution and partnerships. In 2000, the United States enacted the Trafficking Victims Protection Act the same year that the United Nations adopted the Palermo Protocol, also known as the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children. But so far, “No country has yet attained a truly comprehensive response to this massive, ever-increasing, ever-changing crime,” according to the State Department’s 2010 Trafficking in Persons Report. Researchers at the LCHT have certainly found that to be the case in Colorado. “We see a landscape of scattered efforts, frustrated communities that must cobble resources to

combat a vast and complex problem, victims falling through the cracks and traffickers escaping punishment,” according to their website. “Our state law has only been utilized twice because trafficking is being prosecuted under other laws,” Finger noted. But steadily, the focus is starting to sharpen. In December, eight people, including some claiming allegiance to the Crips street gang, were arrested in several Colorado cities for human trafficking and pimping-related activities after allegedly advertising juvenile girls for sex on Backpage.com. Four suspected “johns” were also taken into custody. The state attorney general’s office will prosecute the case in cooperation with the Denver District Attorney’s Office. State lawmakers are starting to grapple with ways in which to strengthen Colorado laws. House Bill 1195, sponsored by Reps. Jared Wright R-Fruita, and Dan Nordberg, R-Colorado Springs, seeks to punish those convicted of attempting to engage in human trafficking as severely as those who are actually caught in the act. The bill passed the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee last week, but was sent to the Colorado Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice for further study and recommendations. Billie McIntire, who heads an advocacy group called the Sex Workers Alliance Network, believes it is important that any new laws distinguish between those who work in the industry by choice from those who are

being trafficked. McIntire says the issue of sex trafficking has been seized by activist groups she describes as “abolitionist feminists” and members of ultra-conservative Christian groups, as a way to help push their desire to eradicate the sex industry entirely. She points to a law Gov. John Hickenlooper signed in June 2011, allowing the creation of so-called “John Schools” to give first-time solicitation offenders the option of attending classes designed to educate them about the dangers of prostitution, and thereby theoretically reduce demand for commercial sex. The approach has had poorly measured results in other cities where similar programs exist. Susan Dewey, who teaches Women’s Studies at the University of Wyoming and has conducted extensive worldwide research on the sex industry, agrees the topic of sex trafficking has become heavily politicized. “What I would like to see is evidence-based law and public policy based on empirical findings, rather than ideological assumptions,” said Dewey. This is a wish that cannot be granted just now. “One of the biggest challenges with trafficking as a human rights issue is that it’s relatively new to the greater field, and therefore there are few accurate numbers,” noted Kristianna Berger, LCHT’s public information officer. “Data the LCHT has been gathering will help us to understand what we can do to improve our responses. However, not even this project will give us the numbers everyone wants in terms of how many people are trafficked every day or year. That number will come with time, but first we need to understand the issue as best we can, in order to know where to look for that number.” It’s encouraging that solid efforts are underway to rescue victims and punish their abusers. We can all help focus on this complex and seemingly invisible problem by supporting the groups dedicated to helping those victims heal.

A wave of allcomedy radio stations that are aggressively courting listeners from other formats, such as sports talk and pop country. And Denver’s Comedy 103.1 FM, the city’s first (albeit mostly syndicated) all-stand-up station, is the most ambitious of the bunch. “We hope to be the model for the format,” said program director John E.

And for that star-making moment, the soprano offers thanks to the Denver-based Asian Performing Arts Council, which stepped in when her career was foundering just a few years ago, coaching her through everything from voice lessons to living arrangements.

Disney wagers big with its costly return to “Oz” By Sandy Cohen The Associated Press

los angeles» Returning to the mystical land of “The Wizard of Oz” took more than 70 years and several hundred million dollars. Disney released its highly anticipated prequel to the 1939 movie classic on Friday. Directed by Sam Raimi, “Oz the Great and Powerful” explores the origins of the wizard (James Franco) and the witches (Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz) in a three-dimensional Oz. The $200 million production, not counting another $100 million in estimated marketing costs, is a huge gamble for everyone involved, considering “The Wizard of Oz” is among the most enduring and beloved films of all time. Even Raimi, director of the first three “Spider-Man” movies, described the project as “daunting.” The risk is compounded by a general box-office slump and a poor showing for last weekend’s $200 million big-screen take on another popular tale, “Jack the Giant Slayer,” based on “Jack and the Beanstalk.” “The plus side is that there’s such incredible awareness of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ that it’s going to translate into a mammoth opening weekend for ‘Oz the Great and Powerful,’ ” said Dave Karger, chief correspondent for fandango.com. “The danger is that many people’s natural tendency will be to compare this to ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ and there’s no film that will ever live up to that.” According to a survey done by the site, nearly all those buying tickets for the new “Oz” film have seen the original, and the film is far and away the most popular of the week, making up almost 80 percent of tickets sold. Franco has loved the world created by L. Frank Baum since he first saw the 1939 movie on TV as a kid. It inspired him to read all of Baum’s books, which led him to other fantasy fare such as “Alice in Wonderland” and the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. But the notion of revisiting the Land of Oz with an A-list director wasn’t enough to lure Franco to the leading role. “I already had a lot of faith in

the movie because Sam was attached, but as an Oz fan, I wanted to be sure that the approach was sound,” the actor said. “They very smartly did not just do a boy version of Dorothy and have the same trip through Oz.” For one, Franco notes the wizard is a con man and his trip through Oz is very different than Dorothy’s was. “He’ll be getting into awkward situations, basically kind of bouncing off of Oz in ways that Dorothy didn’t,” the actor said. While the new “Oz” has plenty of familiar elements — the yellow brick road, Emerald City, witches, munchkins (now multi-ethnic) — “the ways they’re interacting with the

protagonist (are) completely different,” Franco said. As the film opens in sepiatoned 1905 Kansas, Franco’s Oscar Diggs is a carnival magician who dreams of fame and fortune at any cost. When a twister whisks him to a fantastical land bearing his stage name — Oz — whose inhabitants believe him to be a wizard sent to save them, he can’t believe his luck. But first, he faces three witches, none of whom are exactly as they seem. Oz befriends a few locals, including a flying monkey (Zach Braff) and a china doll (Joey King), and eventually makes the plight of the people of Oz his own.

Some critics have questioned the casting of Franco as the wizard. The AP’s Christy Lemire wrote that he’s “too boyish for the role” Yet Raimi believes Franco was the perfect actor to portray the wizard: “He was born to play the part.” Franco and Raimi are personal friends, and the director said he’s seen the actor’s growth as a performer and an individual since they first worked together on 2002’s “Spider-Man.” “I knew James was a moody dreamer, and that’s who Oz is,” Raimi said. “He dreams of being this great man, even if he doesn’t know what greatness is.”

The invention that lit up America

By Marcia Bartusiak The Washington Post

Wireless Internet, hybrid cars, smartphones, high-speed rail, video streaming. We imagine ourselves at the apex of a technological revolution. But nothing at present can compare to the societal upheavals experienced by those at the end of the 19th century. Today we largely undergo variations on a theme — faster, easier, cheaper. Those in the Gilded Age, however, witnessed mind-bending changes in communication, infrastructure, transportation and entertainment hardly imagined beforehand. Buildings soared into the sky, people talked over wires, and steamengine trains linked a nation. “Men and women of the nineteenth century were the first to live in a world shaped by perpetual invention,” writes Ernest Freeberg, professor of humanities at the University of Tennessee, in “The Age of Edison.” And if there is one person who stands out as a chief architect in that transformative era, it is Thomas Edison. Edison is renowned for his wide range of inventions, from the stock ticker and phonograph to the motion picture camera. But to Freeberg, Edison’s greatest legacy was his

contribution to incandescent lighting. He sees this as a linchpin to America’s rise in entrepreneurship. We now take the availability of electric light, both public and private, for granted. Flip a switch and our way is instantly illuminated. But back then, Freeberg writes, people were just realizing that “the light was creating them — changing their relationship to the natural world, shaping the rhythm of their days, and transforming their culture.” EDISON » 9E

Custer Larry McMurtry (Simon & Schuster) The story of Custer and the Little Bighorn has been written about in hundreds of books, but it’s unlikely anybody ever told it the way Larry McMurtry does. He makes no effort to be objective. In McMurtry’s view, George Armstrong Custer was an arrogant bungler who deserved to lose the battle. He “did not expect to find so many Indians,” McMurtry says. The significance of the Battle of the Little Bighorn does not stem from body count, he writes. The Little Bighorn is important because it was the last big hurrah of the Indians. From that battle, it was all downhill, as the Indians and their land were overcome by whites. The Custer legend was brought about by a combination of the press, a public addicted to dime-novel history and the general’s determined wife, Libbie, who outlived most of her husband’s detractors. This is a brief, colorful look at the most famous battle in the American West, is written in pop style by an entertaining author. It also has great illustrations. It is not likely to be considered one of the great Custer histories.

High Country Summers: The Early Second Homes of Colorado, 1880-1940 Melanie Shellenbarger (University of Arizona) Almost from the time gold was discovered here, Colorado was promoted as a tourist destination. Many of those who came to enjoy the mountains stayed — at least for the summer. “High Country Summers” tells about the vacationers, often from the East, who built summer retreats in the state. Many of those visitors preferred simple cabins. Newspaper editor William Allen White built a rustic complex with an outhouse. But others constructed lavish mountain homes. F.O. Stanley, whose Stanley Hotel is an Estes Park landmark, built a house with Palladian windows that resembled his mansion in the East. Many homeowners were among the nation’s wealthiest men, including A.A. Hyde, the inventor of Mentholatum. They liked to think they were roughing it, although they included plenty of creature comforts in their homes. The wife of Colorado Gov. William Sweet refused to have an electric refrigerator, insisting on an ordinary icebox. But she kept a cook and chauffeur at the Sweets’ Estes Park retreat. Then there was Genevieve Chandler Phipps’ 10,000-foot Greystone, near Evergreen. It had eight fireplaces, but the architect forgot to include a servants’ staircase.

Butch Cassidy: Beyond the Grave W.C. Jameson (Taylor Trade Publishing) This seems to be a time for debunking myths. It’s commonly accepted that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid died in a shootout in Bolivia. Now writer W.C. Jameson presents a case that Cassidy may not even have been in that infamous gunbattle and that he died in the 1930s in Seattle. Cassidy’s sister, Lula Parker Beteneson, wrote a book about her brother in which she claimed the outlaw did indeed survive South America and returned to the U.S., where he lived a quiet life. Jameson cites several first-hand accounts in which friends told of meeting up with Cassidy long after the Bolivia gunfight, and presents a long list of reasons underscoring his contention. The conundrum has intrigued historians as much as the question of whether Billy the Kid really was really gunned down by Pat Garrett. Many believe he wasn’t and that the Kid lived to be an old man. Jameson is one of them and in fact, wrote another book identifying an old rancher as that outlaw. Both Jameson and his opponents present a good many facts to support their positions. But until there is definitive proof, nobody knows for sure the fate of one of the West’s most famous outlaws.

Uncovering the secret about a father’s untimely end By Tucker Shaw The Denver Post

It’s a tricky thing for a journalist to investigate his own family history and then write about it. Traps loom: Self-indulgence, clouded judgment, fear of offending someone you’ll have to share beers with at the next annual family reunion. Michael Hainey, deputy editor at GQ magazine, mostly avoids these traps in “After Visiting Friends,” his engrossing new book about his father’s puzzling, unexpected death at age 35. While careful not to muddy his methods or cloud his conclusions with emotional vapor, Hainey solves the mystery convincingly, but still makes the story immediate and personal and human. Hainey’s father Bob was an editor at the Chicago Sun-Times who died suddenly in 1970 when Hainey was just 6. But why? The details of the death were washed over by his family. Particulars were unspoken. Questions were waved away. In his 30s, Hainey decided to dig deeper, but wall after wall of secrecy and denial stymied his search for the truth. His mother — Bob’s widow — offered no real explanation, perhaps because she never

After Visiting Friends by Michael Hainey (Scribner) really asked for one. The three Chicago newspapers that ran obituaries disagreed on the cause of death. Bob’s now-aging co-workers, citing a newsman’s code of silence, clammed up: “I don’t remember anything about that night,” was a repeated refrain. Restive Hainey was certain that his father didn’t, as the obituaries suggested, just collapse and die in the street in an unfamiliar part of town. He quickly uncovered a coverup — a deal made between Bob’s coworkers and the cops, brokered by Bob’s brother, to protect the young widow and her two sons from the potentially awful truth. But what was that truth? The explanation of what happened (no spoilers here) is short, easy to understand, and increasingly obvious as the book progresses. But what makes “After Visiting Friends” magnetic isn’t so

EDISON «FROM 8E “The Age of Edison” is not a detailed history of Edison’s role in the development of electric lighting but rather a grand overview of the invention’s sweeping repercussions on America’s very soul. Digging deeply into archives and old newspapers, Freeberg takes us on a captivating intellectual adventure that offers long-forgotten stories on the birth pangs of the electrical age that are amusing, surprising and tragic. It did not start with the incandescent bulb but rather with the carbon-arc, a harsh and intense light emitted as current leaps the gap between two carbon rods. This type of lighting was first used in large public spaces — train stations, department stores, factories. For a while in the 1880s, cities around America competed with one another to install the powerful arcs atop tall towers, bathing an entire town in a ghostly light at nighttime. But arc lights flickered and hummed, and were totally inappropriate for homes. For that setting, warmer and cozier incandescent light was the holy grail, the perfect replacement for smelly gaslight: no fumes, no flicker, no matches, no maintenance. Despite the legend, Edison did not “invent” the light bulb. Others, such as Joseph Swan in England, had been working on the concept for years. What Edison brought to the table was the vision of a complete system: not just a reliable bulb but a central power station that could distribute the electricity, powering the lights, to houses over many city blocks. He was the one who thought of the challenges of “safely burying his wires and delivering current at a reasonable cost across a wide area, with switches that allowed customers to turn

way that makes them sound sexy when maybe they really weren’t. Were journalists as consistently drunk as Hainey suggests they were? Did reporters really steal photos of the recently deceased from grieving families and print them without permission? Were newshounds and cops so cozy that they’d conspire to keep details about a suspicious death under wraps? These characterizations aren’t sexy. They’re troubling. Police departments and newspapers are supposed to deal in the truth. When Hainey swims delicately in the troubled pool of his family’s relationships, he reveals himself as a lucid and economical writer. He doesn’t weave intricacies into his prose, he just lays bare crystalline moments like this one, when he asks his mother about her one-time circle of friends:

their lamps on and off without disrupting the entire system,” Freeberg notes. Edison and his lab crew in Menlo Park, N.J., knew it would be a huge enterprise, and he was its greatest salesman. By 1885 more than 600 companies were vying for business across the United States. City skies were thick with overhead high-tension wires. Electrical accidents were rampant. In New York a telegraph lineman died instantly upon touching a live wire, but his body remained trapped in the wiry labyrinth. “As comrades struggled to free his corpse,” Freeberg writes, “thousands of New Yorkers gazed up, watching flames shoot from the lineman’s mouth and nostrils and roast his hands and feet.” Genuine fear led to government regulation and safety laws, as well as fierce debates over public versus private ownership that still resonate today. But the genie was out of the bottle. Here was the start of 24/7. With better illumination, both at night and indoors, came a quicker pace of

This was Mayor Daley’s town, still reeling from the violent pro-

life. Factories could produce round the clock, and nightlife flourished. Migration from rural outposts to urban cities accelerated, not just because of jobs but also due to the expanding range of evening entertainments — “fancy balls that began at midnight, ball games and amusement parks, luxurious hotels and boulevards blazing with light all night long ... long after farmers and country villagers had gone to bed.” It was at this moment that America was first recognized as a leader in technological innovation, aided by public education for all citizens, generous patent laws that rewarded engineering improvements, and employment shortages that encouraged the search for labor-saving devices. Although the gap between rich and poor widened at the turn of the 20th century, electric light gradually became available to all. By 1930, 70 percent of America was wired. For the first time in history, a well-lighted house was not the sole privilege of the wealthy. Family ties loosened as parents and siblings ventured beyond the hearth at night for individual pursuits. Edison himself never imagined the many fields that would experience vast advances with better lighting: photography, deep-sea exploring, microscopic investigations, medical surgery. Taming the glaring light inspired artists to fashion sculpted lamps, shades and lampposts. And universities began offering degrees in electrical engineering, a vital step that fueled the current high-tech revolutions we enjoy now. And it all started so simply, as Freeberg so engagingly puts it, with “a glass globe shaped like a dropping tear, enclosing a slender horseshoe of glowing carbon.” More than a century later that bulb, even though now fluorescent or LED, still remains the classic icon for new and creative ideas.

Whether your own mother played solitaire at the kitchen table or not, these moments feel familiar. At turns, Hainey deals an aphorism, to sometimes arresting effect: “The dead man. I envy him. I want his power. The power, years later, that you have over someone. Still. Your absence is greater than your presence. Presence is fleeting. Presence is easy. But absence? That’s eternal.” I tore through “After Visiting Friends” in a single afternoon. Hainey’s words are clear, swift, colorful, precise, sometimes devastating. His story builds steadily to a satisfying apex. Some moments in the final pages, after the secrets are out, feel contrived. But they may not actually be so. Hainey’s story doesn’t rely on invention. His own journalistic instincts forbade that.

Safari’s a wild ride Four things you

should know before embarking on a trek inside Africa

By Dean Krakel The Denver Post

tanzania» After a two-week trip to Tanzania, I feel qualified to offer this list of four things my mother never told me about safari. Of course, my mother never told me anything about safari, because although she and my father would have liked to have gone on one, they were too busy saving up for the Golden Years. And then they both died before they really got to enjoy theirs. So when people ask me how I can afford to do things like running off to Africa, I keep that in mind. You can never plan enough or save enough for travel. And a safari is a once-in-a-lifetime

experience and worth every penny. Everyone should do it at least once. Really. But before you go, here are those four things.

Safari is hard

A Cape buffalo bull in the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation area.

Safari seems easy enough, even romantic, when you read about it in the glossy travel magazines and guidebooks. The lantern-lit camps, the white-linen tablecloths spread with picnic lunches beneath the spreading acacia trees, the stalwart spear-carrying Masai warrior escorting you between bar stool and pool, hippos growling and lions roaring while you lie safe and snug in your gauzy mosquito-netted bed. And during the day you’re chauffeured around AFRICA » 11E

5 for Free in the Florida Panhandle

White beaches, dolphins, pastel Seaside By Melissa Nelson-Gabriel The Associated Press

pensacola, fla.» The gleaming white sand beaches and turquoise waters of Florida’s Panhandle draw millions of visitors each year, but this area isn’t known for glitz, glamour and high-end hotspots like some of Florida’s other beaches. Instead, the Panhandle offers a laid-back vibe, Southern hospitality and family atmosphere. The region caters to budget-conscious travelers who often drive from nearby Southern cities like Atlanta, Birmingham or New Orleans. Hotel and restaurant costs climb during

the peak summer months, but even the priciest Panhandle resorts are generally less expensive than Miami Beach, Naples or the Florida Keys. And the Panhandle offers many opportunities for great memories visiting local attractions that cost nothing at all.

BEACHES

From Pensacola in the western Panhandle to Apalachicola in the east, you’ll find more than 200 miles of relatively undeveloped beaches. Walk the sand in the early morning or late day to glimpse a spectacular sunrise or sunset over the Gulf of Mexi-

co. Because the beaches don’t get lots of traffic — except for a few towns that draw college spring breakers in March — shell seekers often make unique finds such as small conch shells and sand dollars. Beachgoers often glimpse pods of dolphins frolicking in the distance and schools of stingrays gliding just offshore. During the busiest months, some beaches offer free outdoor concerts. Pensacola Beach offers live music every Tuesday night from April to October, visitpensacolabeach.com/what/bands.php. FLORIDA » 14E

AFRICA «FROM 10E to look for animals. Oh, yeah. And while some of that is true, the reality of safari is that it’s an adventure, and African adventure is challenging. What makes safari hard? Mostly it’s the driving. Lots of it. Bouncing around all day in a Land Cruiser with bad shocks and not much cushioning over endless rough roads. Often at high speed. Other times, lurching along in low gear. Sometimes it’s easy to feel as if you’ve been attached to one of those ancient reducing belts. Blend in culture shock, sun, heat, dust, a few tsetse flies, some ill-tempered monkeys and a bit of nausea courtesy of a bad bit of water or food or the malarone taken to avoid malaria — hey, welcome to Africa! There’s lots of driving because distances are vast. The Serengeti alone spreads over 12,000 square miles from the Masai-Mara Reserve in the north to the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation area in the south. That’s about the size of Maryland. Tanzania is home to 14 other national parks, not including Serengeti National Park, itself a mere 5,000 square miles. In addition, civilization is sparse in all of that landscape. A few paved roads. Some small towns, villages, lodges and camps. An airstrip or two. To get from one place to another between shortly after dawn to shortly after dusk — because you really don’t want to get caught out there in the dark — and be able to stop and look and take it all in along the way, to eat your picnic lunch and stretch your legs and use the strategically placed pit toilets ... well, to do all that you occasionally have to drive like a bat out of hell.

10 tips for Tanzania safari

Safari is not for everyone Actually, safari is for almost everyone. Our group of 14 ranged from ages 25 to 65, with the average somewhere in the mid-50s. People all shapes and sizes and levels of income, from unemployed to self-employed, along with three doctors, an emergency room nurse and a chiropractor. And, of course, me — Mr. Spur-of-the-moment, who hadn’t planned on going on safari and hadn’t saved up for it, and just decided to go when the opportunity presented itself. One of the enjoyable things about safari is meeting other safarians, and these ranged from families with small children and teenagers to groups of septuagenarians who looked as if they accidentally booked a safari instead of a cruise. But everyone I saw — everyone — looked to be having a lovely time. The camps and lodges overflowed with animated chatter each night about the day’s adventures and sights. I never heard any complaining about anything. Which brings me to my next point: While safari is pretty much for everyone, it is not for those who are particular about schedules and those who need to have everything happen exactly so. When you are in Africa, things happen on Africa time — which is to say, they happen when they happen. Or they don’t. There can be unexpected delays for hours. The Land Cruiser can break down. You can have a flat tire and be helping the driver to change it while herds of zebras run willy-nilly and a group of smiling Masai walk over to watch and make funny observations among themselves about the crazy Mzungu.

KENYA Masai Mara Reserve

Nor is safari for the squeamish. Safari is not Disneyland. The Serengeti, it has been said, is the kingdom of predators and predators’ prey. For example, we spent an enchanting morning watching a cheetah mother and her three cubs frolicking about, only to learn later that night that a lion had come along shortly after we left and had killed and eaten one of the cubs.

Safari is expensive Yes, safari is expensive. But compared to what? It’s a drop in the bucket compared to a new car. Or a boat. It all depends on what your priorities are. There are all manner and types of safari, and you can have it any way you like, from walking tours in the bush with armed escorts to basic hire-a-guide and tenting out in campgrounds, and everything in between. Our trip cost $6,000 each, not including the $200 airfare from Denver to Minneapolis, where we boarded a plane to Arusha, Tanzania, all meals and gratuities included. Our trip was called an African Duo-Adventure and included a week-long trek up Mount Kilimanjaro along with the week on safari. Climbs of Kilimanjaro (elevation 19,341 feet) are often packaged with safari. Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in the world you can climb without oxygen (although that would be nice) and mountaineering gear. It’s a walkup. But don’t be fooled. It’s a real

mountain, and that walk up is one of the most difficult things you’ll ever do. Jeff, a guy on our trek, said that trekking up Kilimanjaro was like being on a StairMaster from hell and breathing through a straw. We stayed at Arumeru River Lodge outside of Arusha before and after the Kilimanjaro trek, and the Maramboi Tented Lodge near Tarangire National Park. The Seronera Wildlife Lodge was our home for two nights in the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Farm House on our last night after we’d visited Ngorongoro Crater. The Maramboi was the most exotic, with its outdoor dining looking out at Lake Mayanra and its famous flamingos and its lodge and tent camps built up on stilts and the aforementioned armed guards escorting us along the paths in the early and late hours. The Ngorongoro Farm House was the most beautiful, a working farm, lush with flowering gardens and dense with forest. Simply the most romantic place I’ve ever been, with its birdsong in the morning and evenings, a huge tiled bathroom and shower, spacious rooms complete with a porch to sit out on and a crackling fireplace inside. The Seronera lodge, built around natural rock formations, was the most average, but even so, it was a room and a bed in the Serengeti, complete with hippos grunting and grazing out there in the darkness beyond the sliding glass door. And far

far plusher than any budget place I’d ever stayed in Africa. I mean, really, the showers worked most of the time and the toilets flushed. What more can you ask of Africa?

Safari is dangerous It can be. People do get eaten by lions on safari. And trampled by elephants. It is Africa, after all. But we were less than a dozen feet away from elephants — herds of elephants — and had elephants close enough that they threw our Land Cruiser into shadow. We were eye to eye and within touching distance of lions, surrounded by wildebeest and so close to Cape buffalo that their brutish, cowish smell was pungent. Even so, I never once felt as if I was in trouble. Then again, I had no desire to throw open the door and step out of the vehicle for a closer look. The most dangerous thing on safari, though, is probably the sun, which is relentless, followed by the malariapacking mosquitoes, then the tsetse flies carrying nasty sleeping sickness, and the even nastier monkeys. You take preventive meds for the malaria. And as for the flies, well, the ability to swat is why we have hands. The best prevention is to avoid the bites, and to try to kill every living or flying thing in your vehicle and room. Dean Krakel: 303-954-1613, dkrakel@denverpost.com

1. Take lots of dollars. Even though gratuities are “covered” in many Safari packages, keep in mind that Africa runs on tips. A dollar here, a dollar there for pictures, baggage-handling, drivers and guides (but don’t over-tip; ask your driver what’s reasonable). And no dirty or torn bills, but not freshly minted either. 2. Buy an English/Swahili phrasebook and use it. You will make instant friends by using the official language of safari. 3. Do not take pictures of anyone without permission. Yes, it makes getting candid shots difficult, but get permission, then wait to see if the subject will relax. Do not stick your camera out of the Land Cruiser window while you are driving through Arusha; it will be snapped off your hand by bandits riding scooters, and if you have it around your neck your head may go with it. Use one camera and keep your hand on it when you move in crowded markets and cities. 4. Do not take photos of Masai standing by the roadside without permission or from your moving vehicle. They will throw rocks, and they are very, very accurate. Do visit a Masai village. They are the coolest people, and in most cases as friendly and eager to learn about you as you are about them. Sitting in a Masai hut with the fire going, talking about each other’s lives is a priceless experience. It’s worth it to pay a translator. 5. Take plenty of SD or CF cards. More than you think you’ll possibly use. Buy a back-up hard drive. I use a Wolverine 250-gig battery-powered portable and back up everything nightly, shooting only 4 gig cards, changing the extra cards and putting in fresh ones each night to avoid loss of images should one become damaged or a camera lost or stolen. 6. Take two camera bodies, and three if possible. Because of the dust, you do not want to change lenses while out on safari, which exposes the sensors. Use one camera for wide angle and one for a long lens and a third as a backup. 7. You do not need as long a lens as you think. I shot almost everything with lenses from 24mm to 300mm, and because the animals were so close, often found myself backing off of the big lenses. Of course, you can run into one of those days when everything is far away — it happens. Take a beanbag to rest your long lenses on to shoot out of vehicle windows and off rooftops (tripods are almost worthless on safari). I improvised with a locally made zippered bag filled with coffee beans. 8. Keep your cameras in plastic garbage bags. Or a Ziploc or other bags that protect them and fit over the lens. 9. Most lodges have only one outlet per room.Take a three-prong electrical adapter for Africa and an international powerstrip so that you can have more than one outlet. However, you will need an adapter for the wall socket and an adapter for each of the sockets in the powerstrip. Most lodges shut off the generators at night. You also may find a 12-volt inverter handy for charging batteries while you’re in the car, if the lighter socket works, and often they don’t. 10. Always do what the driver says. Dean Krakel

tiny version of those, and you’ll get a sense of the iStabilizer Dolly. This is a mobile rig for smoothly shooting HD video with your cellphone, or any device that shoots HD video, including actual cameras and smaller camcorders. What you get is a sturdy little 8-inch by 5-inch by 3-inch-high metal base with four rollerblade-like wheels, an 11-inch-long 8-jointed arm for locking in various camera angles, and a spring-loaded cradle that grips your device and screws into a tip on the arm. Once you start shooting, you just move the little dolly with your hand — what, you thought it was remote control? There’s no motor. The wheels glide the dolly along for surprisingly stable tracking and panning. The included cradle mount can handle mobile devices up to 2.75 inches wide; an optional iStabilizer Mount XL can accept devices up to 3.5 inches wide, which pretty much covers all smartphones. No need to take the device out of its case. Cameras and camcorders with tripod mounts can be screwed directly onto the base’s tripod screw, or onto the arm (likewise, iStabilizer mounts can be used with standard camera tripods). iStabilizer Dolly kit, $59.95; iStabilizer Mount XL, $19.95; iStabilizer.com or 888-827-3096 Judi Dash, Gear & Gadgets Syndicate

RSVP Catching up with the social scene

Real mom in “The Blind Side” says small acts matter Had it not been for

almost falls through the cracks, can you imagine RSVP who does get left behind? by Joanne So I tell anyone who’ll Davidson listen: Get off the golf course, get out of the country club, get out of your comfort zones and do something that matters. You’d be surprised at what a big difference a small act can make.” Her reward? “Michael loves us like we birthed him. Our children will put me in a nice nursing home, but Michael will be the one who’ll be there to change my bedpan.” The Journey was chaired by Ali Crist and Alyssa Hartman and brought 650 people to the Hyatt Regency Tech Center for an evening that also included remarks by Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia and Christine Benero, the president/CEO of Mile High United Way. Benero, a sustaining member of the JLD, is a past president of the Junior League of Washington, D.C., and of the Association of Junior Leagues International. Both Garcia and Benero applauded the JLD for its focus on increasing Colorado’s literacy rate. The JLD is a $10,000 sponsor of One Book Colorado, and money raised at The Journey is going to such JLD-sponsored literacy efforts as Read2Kids and Kids Connect. The money, JLD president Cissie Megyesy noted, “will help us get books and (learning) tools to families in need throughout the metro area.”

Leigh Anne Tuohy’s

random act of kindness, Michael Oher, starting right tackle for the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens, might still be living on the streets of Memphis. Poor, alone and without a permanent roof over his head. “We were driving down the street and saw him walking,” Tuohy recalled in her keynote address at The Journey: Honoring Our Past ... Looking to Our Future, a fundraising dinner put on by the Junior League of Denver. Tuohy’s children recognized Oher as the new kid in school, but knew nothing else about the teenager born to a drugaddicted mother whose whereabouts were unknown. It was cold and Oher was shivering, so she offered him a ride. It was the first step in the journey that took Oher from foster-home runaway — he’d been in 23 of them before his life with the Tuohy family began — to success in the National Football League. Their story was the basis for the 2009 movie “The Blind Side,” in which Tuohy is portrayed by Sandra Bullock in a role that won her the Academy Award for best actress. Tuohy, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Bullock, encouraged her Denver audience to follow her example. “Some of our friends thought we were crazy, but all we did was allow Michael to become the person he was supposed to be. All we did was offer him hope.” The scary thing, Tuohy added, is knowing that “If someone like Michael

Athletes spend a night waiting tables for Make-A-Wish Colorado You know what they say about not quitting your day job? The staff at Make-A-Wish Foundation of Colorado was thrilled when such well-known athletes as Missy

Denver's own record-setting Olympic swimmer Missy Franklin, right, was mistress of ceremonies for the MakeA-Wish Foundation’s 2013 Celebrity Waiters Dinner.

Franklin, Eric Decker, Randy Gradishar, Billy Thompson and Dax Holdren agreed to serve dinner to the 360

guests at Sporting Affair, the foundation’s annual celebrity waiter dinner. Yet as delighted as president/CEO Joan Mazak was for the role they played in raising $220,000, she wasn’t even tempted to suggest that any of them give up swimming, football or even beach volleyball in order to make waiting tables a full-time job. The laughter they generated was evidence that their best work is done in pools, stadiums or sandy beaches. The dinner also marked Franklin’s debut as an emcee. A senior at Regis Jesuit High School, the four-time Olympic gold medalist was polished and poised at the podium, but couldn’t resist having a little fun when it came time to introduce the 40 celebrities helping out that night. She sailed through names like Lance Brooks, who qualified for discus in the 2010 Summer Olympics, and Phil Tesoriero, a defenseman for the Denver Cutthroats ice hockey team. But when it came to Decker, the wide receiver who helped take the Denver Broncos into the 2013 post-season, she stumbled with the pronunciation and pretended that she had never heard of him. Which of course caused quite a bit of laughter, even from Decker’s fiancee, country singer Jessie James, who also

Joan Mazak started Make-A-Wish Colorado in 1983 as a tribute to the memory of her daughter who had died at age 7 from liver disease. It was the nation’s third Make-A-Wish Foundation affiliate. Since then, the chapter has granted some 3,900 wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions. The average cost per wish is $7,500; Make-A-Wish Colorado grants about 250 wishes annually.

THE DESTIN DOCKS

The T.T. Wentworth Jr. Florida State Museum in Pensacola shows the area’s heritage under Spanish, French, British, Confederate and American control going back to the mid-1500s. Provided by West Florida Historic Preservation

FLORIDA «FROM 10E WENTWORTH MUSEUM AND HISTORIC PENSACOLA

A collection of historic homes, museums and other sites— historicpensacola.org/default.cfm — highlights Pensacola’s history dating to the mid-1500s under Spanish, French, British, Confederate and American control. Admission to the T.T. Wentworth Jr. Florida State Museum — historicpensacola.org/ — is free. The museum is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. For a look inside the historic homes in Historic Pensacola Village, you can take a tour for $6. The University of West Florida Archaeology department often conducts digs in the area, and visitors can get a close-up look at a dig in progress.

The sign welcoming visitors to the well-known Panhandle resort city of Destin calls Destin “The World’s Luckiest Fishing Village.” The sign is an homage to a time when the area was known for its fine snapper fishing and shrimping rather than high-rise condos, but fishing remains a huge part of local culture. Destin has a large charter boat fleet and visitors can spend hundreds or thousands of dollars searching for marlin and mahi on a deep-sea fishing expedition. For visitors who don’t have their sea legs or who don’t want to spend serious money trying their luck at offshore fishing, Destin’s fishing docks still offer an entertaining stroll. Fishermen unload and clean their catch and display the fish for passers-by to view, and the large grouper, snapper and other fish are usually an impressive sight. Harborwalk Village and the Emerald Grand resort — emeraldgrande.com/harborwalk-village.aspx — located on the west end of Destin, have a variety of seasonal events year-round and make a fun place for visitors to stroll before or after checking out the day’s catch.

SEASIDE

The picturesque village of Seaside — seasidefl.com — is located on the Gulf of Mexico between Destin and Panama City and includes some of the priciest beach homes in the region. Developed in 1981 as a planned resort community, Seaside was the setting of the 1998 film, “The Truman Show,” starring Jim Carrey. Seaside is known for its pastel-colored beach bungalows built in the old Florida tradition and for its beautifully landscaped walkways and public areas. The town has a selection of upscale boutiques and restaurants, but there is lots of fun to be had in Seaside without spend-

More strategies on how to make lemonade from a lemon of a hand

DIFFICULTY: EVIL The rules are simple: Enter digits from 1 to 9 into the blank spaces. Every row must have one of each digit, as must every column, and every 3-by-3 square. Answer below

Horoscope by Jacqueline Bigar Today’s birthday (Sunday, March 10, 2013) This year you break down barriers by implementing many of your ideas. Explain your reasoning, and be willing to respond to inquiries. A slow but steady course will take you where you want to go. If you are single, decide what type of bond you desire. Summer holds several romantic possibilities. There is a strong likelihood that you will meet the right person at that time. If you are attached, as a couple you might decide to make one of your long-term desires a reality. The result will be a stronger bond between you. A fellow Pisces might act differently, but he or she has similar issues.

Aries (March 21-April 19) 666 You have been so busy lately that you might need some extra R and R. Take the time now, and you will feel much better. You could find it difficult to say “no” to those around you who call or invite you out. Don’t question your actions. Tonight: Kick back and relax. Taurus (April 20-May 20)

66666 Others want to be a part of your day. Fielding calls could be a full-time job; instead, make plans and head out the door. You have a tendency to overindulge others. Laugh and relax with your friends. Tonight: Favorite dinner, favorite place.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) 666 Check in with an older loved one before making plans. Once you take care of your responsibilities, you could be taken aback by all of your options. Right now, you are a force to be dealt with; you’re not exactly willing to be pushed into any corners. Tonight: Out for dinner.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) 6666 Reach out to those within your circle of family and friends who might not be around you on a regular basis. Listening to them will help you escape from the here and now. You could gain a new perspective as a result. Tonight: Think “vacation.” Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) 6666 One person wants you and does not want to share! Hopefully, you feel the same way. If not, you probably need to be clearer about your desires. Crowds are less pleasing than usual; you will enjoy one-on-one interactions much more. Tonight: Celebrate.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) 66666 Popularity is nice, especially when it enables you to choose your plans and the people involved. Neverthe-

less, you might need to respond to a friend or parent. This person might be demanding, but he or she gives a lot in return. Tonight: Touch base with a neighbor.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) 666 Work with someone directly. You will feel better with this person if you are spontaneous. News from a distance makes you very happy — you even might have some difficulty focusing. Use good sense with financial decisions. Tonight: Surround yourself with great music. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) 6666 Act on a creative idea that might involve a partner. You can’t restrain your imagination, nor should you. Just go with the flow. Expressing yourself freely might not be easy, but it is a necessity for your overall well-being. Tonight: Go for something adventurous or frisky.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

6666 Slow down, and spend some quality time with a family member. You have a lot of people seeking you out. When you are thinking of someone in particular, oddly enough, he or she seems to appear. Work through a negative situation in your mind. Tonight: Order in.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) 6666 Catch up on friends’ news. Your perspective could change dramatically as the day goes on. Opt for a spontaneous get-together at your place, and bring different friends and loved ones together. You are changing right in front of someone’s eyes. Tonight: At a favorite haunt.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) 666 You might be living as if there is no tomorrow. Your happier side emerges when shopping and indulging others. You might want to give someone a gift that implies a change to that person’s life. Be careful, as you could get a negative reaction. Tonight: Your treat.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) 6666 As you weigh the pros and cons of a change on the homefront, others will give you their opinions. You might not agree at first, but these people are coming from a point of view that you might need to take into consideration. Tonight: You call the shots. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult. Readers can write Jacqueline Bigar at jacquelinebigar.com.

Ask Amy by Amy Dickinson Dear Amy: My father is in his 50s, and my sister and I are in our 20s. He has always been a loving, involved father — smart, witty, caring and a great provider — and also the angriest person we’ve ever known. His rages, which consist of swearing and yelling, are never directed at us or my mother. Politics and sports make my dad a different person. These are usually the cause of his rage, though everyday things like breaking a glass will set him off too. Normally he is soft-spoken. However, he is a sports fan and a political junkie and is completely unable to control his emotions and anger over these topics. He is, at best, very tense (when his team is doing well), and screaming and belligerent when his team is not. He also frequently goes on tirades about politics. Luckily, our family shares the same affiliations, and his anger is not directed at us. I love my father, but his anger and screaming make me, my family, our dogs and anyone unlucky enough to be near him uncomfortable and embarrassed. My greatest fear is that he will have a stroke or heart attack during one of his tirades. His anger is probably rooted in something much deeper, but we don’t talk about those things. At this stage in our lives I hardly see the point. Should we continue to acquiesce to his rages and pretend we are OK with it, or should we (or I) confront him and tell him how much his rage upsets us and how worried we are about him? Talking about this would be a big deal.

screaming rages, and it’s hard to imagine that his raging over something like a broken glass has no effect on or consequence for the family. You should lovingly tiptoe up to this big deal issue and tell your father you are worried about him, and that you think he needs help to modu-

in your family there is no point in discussing challenging issues, then by all means keep cowering in the corner whenever your father’s team or political party take the field. If you are not OK with something happening in your family, then it’s a good idea to express your view, which in your case might be accompanied by a white flag of surrender. It’s hard to believe that not one person has ever commented on your father’s

late his anger. You are correct that these rages are bad for his health. And you should also demonstrate that his behavior affects you by, at least, leaving the room (or the house) when he rages. A book your father might find helpful is “Beyond Anger: A Guide for Men: How to Free Yourself from the Grip of Anger and Get More Out of Life,” by Thomas Harbin (2000, Da Capo Press). Dear Amy: I was married to my late husband for 35 years. He had four children before we were married. My estate is now divided among those four children,

Answer below the Sudoku answe

BROADCAST

You are sitting East with the motley assortment. South opens a notrump, North invites with two notrump and South accepting with three notrump. West leads the king of hearts, and South thinks about holding up the ace, but that seems pointless since diamonds are wide open as well. South wins the heart ace and surveys the landscape. South has four spades, two red bullets and must bring in the club suit for three winners (one loser) to make his contract. So South leads a small club off dummy to his

10, losing to West’s king. So far, so good. West cashes three hearts and switches to the king of diamonds. Dummy’s ace wins and a small club is led off dummy. It is the moment of reckoning. Are you awake? If you are still in a state of catatonia induced by first picking up your hand, you woodenly play the nine and South wins the queen. Since the 10 forced the king on the first round of the suit, South knows you have the jack and simply leads to the ace, finding the suit three-three for nine tricks. How to lead declarer astray? When the second club is led from dummy, play the jack, the card you are known to hold. South, of course, wins the queen, but now you have provided him a losing option. If he believes the jack was your last club, he plays West for having started with four, and leads a club to dummy’s eight, finessing for the nine, which you now produce to defeat the contract. The tip again: Play the card you are known to hold and as soon as possible. Tournament Results: Pueblo’s winter tournament in late February featured these winners of upper division competition. Pair Games: Margie Schrader and Melvin Levine, both of Colorado Springs, won the first single-session event, with the second single-session going to Barbara O’Grady of Centennial and Debra Dallas of Highlands Ranch.

This week we continue our look at rotten bridge hands. You pick up four spades to the five, three hearts to the four, three diamonds to the four, and the jack-nine-seven of clubs. You have to stifle a yawn. Another crummy, boring hand. Can your hand make the crucial difference on defense? Can you stay awake long enough to find out? Eddie Kantar’s “Defensive Tips for Bad Card Holders” (Master Point Press, Toronto) reviewed in this column Sunday has over 500 tips, many of them presenting suit combinations in the abstract. Tip 420 involves playing the card you are known to hold. His suit combination in isolation is presented as the club suit in the full deal below. All vulnerable, South dealer.

Each garden will be produced by one of the area’s top landscape professionals, including: Michael Swanson from Living Stone Landscaping, Shane Hemphill from Art of the Yard, Gregory Rausch from Mountain Designscapes, Inc., Mark Russo from Rocky Mountain Waterscapes, and Nick Liput from Rocky Mountain Landscape.

Outdoor Sanctuary with Bottomless Tranquility (Living Stone Landscaping, 303-459-2850, in partnership with Art of the Yard, 303-204-0456) Beautiful, creative and sustainable, Living Stone Landscaping has created a truly unique outdoor sanctuary full of beautiful Colorado natural stone. Combined with pondless waterfalls and unique bubble rock fountains from Art of the Yard, this garden will inspire you to bring the natural beauty of Colorado to your own back yard.

Water On The Rocks (Rocky Mountain Waterscape, 303-666-5430) Imagine a glorious, relaxing outdoor living space hidden away in a scenic Rocky Mountain setting that is all yours. Rocky Mountain Waterscape is showcasing a distinctive garden design with a beautiful blend of local plants and trees, multiple water features made from natural moss rock, and a living space built around a stone fire pit where you can sit back and enjoy the Colorado sky at its best.

An Alpine Garden showcases native plant material ideal for mountain area landscapes, and a custom stone bridge provides a beautiful vantage point from which to inspect a tranquil pond and enjoy the natural wood pergola that graces the lower part of the garden. Created to be as natural and durable as possible, each water feature is built with dyed mortar to blend with the stone and employs a highgrade filtration system.

Vermont takes on liability of resorts Colorado has seen little support for punishing those who need rescue.

THE HIDDEN ECONOMICS OF MARIJUANA No bank, credit union or financial-services company can knowingly accept business accounts with any trace of a marijuana connection. Where does the money go?

By Jason Blevins The Denver Post

State legislators around the country are proposing bold steps to force resorts to shoulder more responsibility for out-of-bounds skiers. In Vermont, two legislators are proposing laws that would punish skiers and resorts when wayward skiers need rescuing after leaving resort boundaries. They mark the country’s most aggressive plans for curbing a backcountry-access problem common at most ski areas surrounded by public lands. In Colorado, similar efforts aren’t being proposed, but they nonetheless have drawn some support and stirred debate over resort responsibility. Rep. Thomas Terenzini, a freshman Vermont state congressman, has sculpted a bill that requires resorts to pay for rescues of skiers who access backcountry terrain through resort boundaries. Another House bill would impose a $500 fine and criminal trespass charges against skiers who need rescuing after passing through resort boundaries. (A Senate bill proposing the same fine and criminal charge was tabled in committee last week.) Terenzini hails from Rutland, near Vermont’s Killington ski area, where several dozen skiers and snowboarders required rescue after leaving the resort’s boundary over two days last Christmas holiday. “The cost to the state is very expensive,” Terenzini said. “The ski area won’t prosecute people, because they don’t want the bad publicity. The state police won’t charge anyone, because they feel that, should they do this, then the people who get lost on a mountainside will not call for help in the future.”

Colorado’s medical-marijuana dispensaries can sell the stuff just fine — and would-be vendors of the recreational variety hope to do the same once rules are put in place this year. But there is little that those businesses can legally do with their cash other than put it in a safe or bury it. No bank, credit union or financial-services company can knowingly accept business accounts with any trace of a marijuana connection. If they do, it’s a federal crime. The result is a legal industry that operates in something of a gray market in Colorado. “It’s a cash-only business for some; others use a small bank and are very quiet about it since no one wants to draw attention,” said Joe Megyesy, a blogger and organizer behind Amendment 64, which legalized the sale and use of small amounts of pot in Colorado. “It’s a problem.” CASH » 3K

Investing may be less risky than you think By Bernard Condon Associated Press

new york» Is it too late? If you’ve stayed out of stocks recently, you might be worried that you’ve missed your chance to get back in. After all, they must be expensive now that the Dow Jones industrial average has risen 120 percent in four years to a record high. The good news is that stocks still seem a good bet despite the run-up. The bad news: They’re no bargain, at least by some measures, so don’t get too excited. Many investors obsess about stock prices. But you must give equal weight to a company’s earnings. When earnings rise, stocks become more valuable — and their prices usually rise too. That seems to be happening now. “We’ve had record profits upon record profits,” says John Butters, senior earnings analyst at FactSet, a research firm. “And estimates are we’ll have record profits this year too.” STOCKS » 12K

Marching forward

Shifting U.S. housing-market trends

March may come in like a lion, but it has historically been as sweet as a lamb for investors. Since 1945, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index has climbed an average of 1.2 percent during March. That’s nearly double the index’s average rise of 0.7 percent over all 12 months, and it makes March the third-best month of the year, according to S&P Capital IQ. The turning of the calendar also means that February is behind investors. February has been the second-worst month of the year, with an average drop of 0.3 percent since 1945. During February 2013, it rose 1.1 percent.

Changing U.S. demographics and the impact of the recession are shifting U.S. housing trends. Buyers still in the market are putting more money upfront and are buying more elaborate homes than in the past. And single and minority homebuyers are taking a bigger share of the country’s housing market.

On Philanthropy By Bruce DeBoskey

Strategic co-funding broadens impact

hilanthropists from families, foundations and businesses are asking, “Can’t we accomplish more by working collectively instead of in silos?” In “Strategic Co-Funding: An Approach for Expanded Impact,” a new report published by Grantmakers for Effective Organizations and REDF, the authors assert, “Strategic cofunding is a key way grantmakers of all types and sizes can expand the impact of their grants, leverage knowledge and resources … and reduce administrative burdens on themselves and grantees.” One of the best examples of effective co-funding is the Civil Marriage Collaborative, which pools resources of money and expertise from different donors seeking to strengthen a stateby-state movement for same-sex couples’ freedom to marry across the United States. CMC members jointly fund $2 million annually for research, education and organizing around marriage equality and have worked patiently for years to understand and educate about the values that cause people to embrace their goal. The CMC has “been a major player in every state where marriage equality has been secured,” says Andrew Lane, executive director of the Johnson Family Foundation, a funder for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality. Paul Di Donato, the program officer responsible for organizing the CMC, says the collaborative allows disparate funders “to develop a shared strategy which is recalibrated annually to create a sharper vision about what can be achieved. The sum is greater than the parts.” Matt Foreman, director of gay- and immigrant-rights programs for the Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund, a CMC donor, observes, “Frequently, funders working in the same area of interest have different resources and approaches, so there’s little synergy in their work. The co-funding model brings funders together to enable them to achieve more impact than they could on their own.” Tim Sweeney, president of the Gill Foundation, another CMC funder, notes, “It has been necessary for CMC members to make long-term commitments and be willing to suffer defeats along the way in order to achieve the dream of equality. We had to learn how to lose forward.” Ultimately, “it isn’t only about politics, lobbying and laws,” he says. “It has been about changing hearts and minds.”

Collaborative funding has its challenges, too. In addition to more accountability than independent funders are accustomed to, Foreman states that the funding model requires “patience, compromise and the willingness to accept little or sometimes no credit for successes.” The model helps not only grantmakers but also nonprofit grantees, giving them a single point of access to multiple funders and enabling them to share lessons learned by grantors and grantees alike. Other examples of impactful collaborative-funding initiatives include the New Americans Citizenship Collaboration, encouraging and assisting eligible legal permanent residents to become U.S. citizens; the Four Freedoms Fund, securing the full integration of immigrants as active participants in our democracy; the Challenge Fund for Journalism, helping independent, nonprofit media organizations strengthen fundraising capacity; and the Just and Fair Schools Fund, working to eliminate harsh school-discipline policies and practices. From giving circles in neighborhoods to national funding collaboratives, donors are recognizing that they can learn from one another and have more impact on their favorite causes by pooling funds and resources, adjusting their philanthropic egos and solving problems together. Sweeney advises, “If you have a major ambition to be the change you want to see in the world, your best option is to find partners that are willing to be flexible, take a big risk and dream big.” Bruce DeBoskey is a Colorado-based philanthropic adviser, helping families, businesses and foundations with their philanthropic initiatives.

Study: No quick savings from workplace wellness By Ricardo Alonzo-Zaldivar The Associated Press

washington» Your bosses want you to eat your broccoli, hit the treadmill and pledge that you’ll never puff on a cigarette. But a new study raises doubts that workplace-wellness programs save the company money. In what’s being called the most rigorous look yet inside the wellness trend, independent researchers tracked the program at a major St. Louis hospital system for two years. Hospitalizations for employees and family members dropped by 41 percent overall for six major conditions. But increased outpatient costs erased those savings. The study in Monday’s issue of the journal Health Affairs has implications for a debate now taking place at companies around the country: How much pressure can you put on workers to quit smoking, lose weight and get exercise before it turns into unwelcome meddling or, worse, a slippery slope toward a new kind of health discrimination? Wellness programs started out of-

fering gym memberships and modest cash rewards for participating in a health assessment focused on changing bad habits. But employers have been upping the ante, linking the programs to insurance discounts or penalties that can add up to hundreds of dollars. Most major companies now have wellness programs, and smaller firms are signing up. President Barack Obama’s health-care overhaul allows employers to expand rewards and penalties, provided that workers are also given a path to address lifestyle issues that could harm their health. “The immediate payback in terms of cost is probably not going to be there,” said economist Gautam Gowrisankaran of the University of Arizona at Tucson, lead author of the study. But he noted that there could be other benefits not directly measured in the study, such as reduced absenteeism and higher productivity. And there’s also a risk. “It’s definitely true that there is a downside,” Gowrisankaran said. “You are going to be charging people different rates based on their wellness behavior,

and that could limit their ability to buy health insurance.” Obama’s law forbids insurers from charging more if you get sick. But wellness incentives could mean you’d be penalized for the questionable choices that might get you sick. Steven Noeldner, an expert with the Mercer benefits-consulting firm, says well-designed programs generally show a positive return of about 2 percent by the third year. Gary Claxton of the Kaiser Family Foundation, which produces a widely cited annual survey of workplace health plans, says the financial impact is difficult to measure. “A lot of employers think it’s the right thing to do, and they’re not so much interested in measuring,” said Claxton. The results were counterintuitive: a surprisingly large drop in hospitalizations for the six conditions targeted by the wellness program but increased costs for medications and outpatient visits. When those were added to the cost of the wellness initiative itself, “it is unlikely that the program saved money,” the study concluded.

BUSINESS «3K

“Without access to ﬁnancial institutions, legitimate businessmen and women are left walking

around with thousands of dollars in cash.” CASH «FROM 1K Dispensaries struggle with issues as basic as payroll, operational funding and security. They cannot get a loan, a checking account, a credit card or anything that other legal businesses can do easily. Little is known about where their money goes — pot-related revenue for fiscal 2011 in Colorado was an estimated $186 million, a number that doesn’t count those who aren’t paying state taxes. Predictions for the looming recreational market range as high as $300 million a year. “Without access to financial institutions, legitimate businessmen and women are left walking around with thousands of dollars in cash, not only putting them at personal risk, but also leaving millions in state tax revenue uncollected and making it impossible for state or federal authorities to undertake an audit,” Rep. Jared Polis, DBoulder, told The Denver Post in a statement. Polis has introduced a bill to defederalize marijuana, which could have the effect of opening bank doors to marijuana-based businesses. Similar efforts have failed. A state task force put together by Gov. John Hickenlooper shortly after voters last November approved recreational use of weed determined there’s no way around the conundrum without federal action. Federal drug laws put marijuana on the list of controlled substances with cocaine and heroin. Possessing it is a crime, as is selling it or handling any of the resulting financial proceeds. In essence, institutions that bank marijuana-specific businesses are, in the eyes of the federal government, money launderers. “There seem to be no alternative solutions available right now that would allow banks to have a legal business relationship with those businesses involved with marijuana in any way,” said Don Childears, president and CEO of the Colorado Bankers Association. He is a member of a subcommittee of Hickenlooper’s task force that looked at banking issues that marijuana businesses face. “If (federal regulators) spot any of those accounts, it’s pretty clearly expressed that it’s not a good idea,” he said. “It’s explicit that you jeopardize having your insurance revoked, and if you don’t have that insurance, you’re closed, out of business.” The task force has asked President Barack Obama for a special exemption for the industry, though expectations are low. Seventeen other states, plus Washington, D.C., have approved some form of marijuana possession. Colorado and Washington are the only states to also approve recreational possession. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder in December told Congress that it wouldn’t be a prior-

ity to go after bankers who did business with marijuana distributors, but he didn’t say it wouldn’t happen at all. “The danger a bank faces is an active U.S. attorney who wants to prosecute,” said Robert Rowe III, vice president and general counsel for the Center of Regulatory Compliance at the American Bankers Association. “And it’s fair game for them to do that if they wanted to. Political minds can change very quickly.” There have been some unsuccessful attempts at a congressional fix, even a federal court case that looked to move pot from a Schedule I drug — which the federal government says has “no currently accepted medical use” in the U.S. — to a prescribable pharmacological one. The appellate judges voted 2-1 not to change what Congress had established. Polis in July 2011 unsuccessfully offered a law to allow banks to carry business accounts of medical-marijuana distributors without having to report the activity. In November, Rep. Diana DeGette, DDenver, offered a bill to preempt federal agencies from enforcing laws in states where cannabis is legal. That died too. Polis in February took another run at a solution, proposing to defederalize marijuana and allow states to decide on its legality. It sits in several subcommittees awaiting hearing. If approved, the result would likely allow bankers to open the doors to marijuana-based businesses. The National Cannabis Industry Association estimates that half the dispensaries nationwide lack bank accounts, but it’s difficult to determine how the other half manage to have them. Neither bankers nor dispensary owners will openly acknowledge their relationship or how they keep it going. Anecdotes swirl of Western Union money orders sent to personal accounts; wads of cash sent out of state via express delivery; dividing thousands of dollars in deposits among several accounts in various names

A caregiver picks out a marijuana bud for a patient at a marijuana dispensary in Denver. Banks currently won’t risk knowingly opening accounts for such businesses. Associated Press file to avoid detection. Some say they rely on gift cards, debit cards and money orders to meet expenses. Safety is a concern, especially as owners are barred by federal law from owning a firearm if they’re a patient, or would be considered an armed trafficker. “There’s even the concern of paying their rent,” lawyer Christian Sederberg said. “That’s if a landlord takes it; most won’t. Cash isn’t necessarily king any longer, so they have to get money orders.” One outspoken business owner, Jill Lamoureux in Denver, has said she was able to bank only because she kept the name of the institutions to herself. That was in 2011. She’s no longer in the business, all the accounts closed. Crimes at dispensaries are on the rise. The first six months of 2012, the most complete data

available, Denver police recorded 35 burglaries, compared with 20 for the same period in 2011. In all, there were 44 reported crimes at dispensaries in those months for 2012 and 26 the year before. Without a bank account, it’s difficult for any business to pay

Now proudly managed by

employees or, for that matter, its taxes. Colorado revenue officials are happy to accept the funds since state law allows it — $5.4 million last year alone. But the Internal Revenue Service collects taxes on the sales. The IRS relies on a 1982 law Congress passed at the height of the Reagan administration’s battle against the illicit drug trade, banning any tax deductions related to trafficking in controlled substances. That would include state-legal marijuana dispensaries, which then forces those small-business owners to pay taxes on gross sales. “Even though the federal government does not recognize the legitimacy of marijuana as medicine, and in fact makes it difficult for these businesses to operate by limiting their IRS deductions, banking, etcetera, they are all too happy to take tax money from these state-legal stores,” said Brian Vicente of Sensible Colorado, one of the drafters of the state’s marijuana-legalization question. Marijuana businesses, and those that would be, have come up with as many creative ideas to solve their problems as the varieties of the weed they offer. The notions have ranged from the creation of a sellers’ credit union to the use of a currency system where purchases are made in tokens rather than cash. Colorado Springs State Bank was one of the leaders in banking pot-based business, accepting accounts from dispensaries. But the bank closed about 300

accounts after the U.S. Department of Justice issued a memo in 2011 raising the potential of money-laundering charges for such activities. Nearly immediately, the industry was turned into a cashonly enterprise little different in application from the street-corner dealer. The difference: The dealer likely has a bank account. “If you’re selling meth, you might well have a personal bank account,” said Shawn Coleman, formerly employed in the banking industry and now a lobbyist for Amendment 64 proponents. “That relationship is between the bank and you as an individual,” he said. “For a marijuana business to have that relationship, it’s likely the same case, on the quiet, or the bank knows exactly what’s going on but has some other relationship with them, perhaps real estate, that’s more lucrative.” It’s unlikely anything can be solved in the short term, Rowe said, in large part because it’s a political issue with few champions. “It is an issue that Congress runs from because of the very strong feelings on both sides,” Rowe said. “It’s one of those political hot potatoes, and the banking industry sees no upside in taking a front-row seat in the charge. Bankers simply say there are too many other fish to fry.” David Migoya: 303-954-1506, dmigoya@denverpost.com or twitter.com/davidmigoya

THE WEEKLY GUIDE TO MANAGING YOUR MONEY

WSJ.com/Sunday

At Last, the Job Market Shows Signs of Life If you’re one of the millions of Americans who have been unemployed, underemployed or just languishing in a job you hate ever since the financial crisis, there were plenty of reasons last week to think you may finally be out of the woods. U.S. job growth jumped ahead in February, the Labor Department reported, a sign of a steadily improving labor market and stronger economic gains. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate fell to 7.7%, the lowest level since the end of 2008, and the number of U.S. workers filing new applications for unemployment benefits also dropped. And the number of job openings continues to rise, albeit still slowly. Clearly the frozen job market is thawing. For job seekers, remember the old saying: Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. Here are a few tips to boost your chances of hearing those magic words: “We’d like to offer you a position.” Know yourself and expand your vision “Before you begin to solve any problem, you want to take stock of the resources at hand, and a job search is no different,” says Susan LaMotte, a workforce consultant in Washington, D.C. Job seekers should inventory their skills, such as writing, presentations and financial analysis, and explore why they are good at those activities. For example, you might be a great financial analyst because you are extremely detailed and focused. This exercise can help you zero-in on your strengths and see how those strengths are transferable, she says. And while it’s nice to think about nabbing that “dream job,” you may have to redefine the original job you are looking for

to adjust to the realities of today’s labor market, some career coaches say. For instance, if you only want a job as an art therapist, you may have to cast a wider net to related fields such as teaching or graphic arts, says Bradford Agry, a New York career consultant. “Always have a number of backup plans,” he says. Target companies and be consistent “Instead of looking for a job, start first by looking for a company,” says Miriam Salpeter, a job-search coach in Atlanta. She recommends job seekers identify several target organizations— say, five or 10—and learn as much as they can about these companies, what they value and what kind of problems they have. Once they select the companies, they can use all their networks to “get in,” says Mr. Agry. For example, you can use all of your alumni and social networks to land informational interviews at the company, he says. “It’s about keeping a chain of referrals going.” Consistency is key, says Ms. LaMotte. “Keep a tally of who you connect with and when,” she says. Every six to eight weeks, reach out to contacts again and update them on your search, she says. Seekers could send them a link to an interesting industry article, for example, to help foster the relationship. Get yourself online (but not too much) Recruiters are increasingly using social media to find and vet candidates so it’s crucial for job seekers to be visible on these networks, says Lindsey Pollak, a career consultant in New York who also runs training webinars for LinkedIn. She recommends that people go through job postings that ap-

Stay strong and confident Even the most upbeat person can feel discouraged and depressed by a job search. To help boost your spirits, you may try saying affirmations such as “I have a good education” or “I have great analytical skills,” says Ms. Brincko. Out-of-work individuals might also steel themselves for the dreaded cocktail-party question “What do you do?” (which can make them want to crawl away) with a ready response. For example, you might say: “Right now, I’m looking for work in communications and I am so intrigued by the work you do at X company.” This can help deflect attention back to the questioner and serve as a valuable information-gathering tool, says Gari Julius Weilbacher, a coach and communications consultant in Philadelphia. Donna Sweidan, a career coach in Stamford, Conn., recommends joining an activity group—such as bowling, dancing or hiking— via meetup.com to blow off steam and meet new people. Volunteering can also help. One of Ms. Sweidan’s clients got such a big sense of accomplishment from volunteering in a community garden that he was able to get back to his job search in a “much better state of mind,” she says. And while it’s vital for most people to work, it’s paramount to get out of the habit of defining yourself by a résumé, says Amy Johnson, a psychologist and life coach in Detroit. “You are so much more than what you do for a living,” she says.

Get Deals Before the First Pitch Baseball fans hoping to snag the best deal on tickets this season may want to move well before the first pitch is thrown on March 31. After years of increases, last season’s average ticket prices across Major League Baseball stayed fairly flat, at $26.98 for regular tickets and $88.18 for premium tickets, according to data firm Team Marketing Research. This year, early indications are that whether the price is up or down depends on the team. The prices of single-game tickets for the New York Mets, for example, are up 2% to 78%, depending on the game and seat section. The Chicago Cubs dropped prices 2% on average and the Boston Red Sox froze rates at 2012 levels. Expert say fans who buy early at the box office may snag better prices this year than in previous seasons, as teams move away from set face values to variable pricing (in which rates differ by game) and dynamic pricing (which changes constantly based on demand). With those systems, prices can go up or down, but tend to rise overall as the season progresses, says Will Flaherty, a spokesman for SeatGeek.com. — Kelli B. Grant MarketWatch.com

Worth More The net worth of U.S. families rose by $1.17 trillion at the end of 2012 to the highest level since late 2007, as rising home values and gains in stockholdings boosted household balance sheets. U.S. households’ net worth—the value of homes, stocks and other investments minus debts and other liabilities—rose 1.8% to $66.07 trillion from October through December, the highest level since the fourth quarter of 2007, according to a Federal Reserve report released last week. Households’ net worth was up 9% at the end of 2012 compared with the fourth quarter of 2011. The stock market has since risen substantially. —Neil Shah WSJ.com

TIP OF THE WEEK

Say No to Overdraft Protection BY LINDSAY GELLMAN Some banks are ramping up their pitches for overdraft-protection services. But in most cases, you should just say “No, thanks.” Banks are marketing either a program where overdraft transactions are covered for a fee or one that allows you to link a checking account to a savings account, line of credit or credit card so if you overdraw funds are transferred in as needed, says Greg McBride, a senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com. Some banks give customers both options. But these plans can be costly and probably aren’t your best option since the typical customer rarely

overdrafts intentionally, says Susan Weinstock, director of Pew Charitable Trusts’ Safe Checking in the Electronic Age Project. So customers are better off having the transaction declined if there aren’t enough funds in the account. “If the transaction is declined, it costs you nothing,” she says. An overdraft fee typically runs about $35 per transaction while a transfer fee is typically $10 per daily transfer, Ms. Weinstock says. Mr. McBride says that for customers who feel they need a backup, transfer plans are best since the fees are cheaper and you are covered in an emergency. TD Bank is touting its TD Debit Card Advance opt-in

overdraft coverage service. Bank of America is offering an Overdraft Protection plan, which lets you transfer money from other accounts to cover shortages. Gabriel Weissman, public-relations manager at TD Bank, says the plans let customers avoid the hassle of a transaction being declined, especially in an emergency. Or you may want a loan or credit-card payment processed immediately to avoid high fees from payees. Anne Pace, a Bank of America spokeswoman, says the bank’s transfer services allow customers more choices and flexibility than having no plan, in which case all overdrafts are declined at the point of sale.

The Taxable Downside of Debt Forgiveness

Thanks for the Headlines

BY JENNIFER WATERS You may have shored up your finances by settling most nonmortgage debt with creditors in 2012, but there’s no escaping the tax man: The Internal Revenue Service expects you to pay taxes on that dodged debt, which is now considered “income.” “When you borrow money it’s not a taxable event because it’s assumed you will pay it back,” says tax attorney John Foley, a partner with Tatooles, Foley & Associates in Chicago. “But with any type of debt relief, you do have income because it’s an enhancement to your balance sheet.” That’s true even if it’s purely on paper as an accounting item and not cold, hard cash in your hands. The IRS considers any forgiven debt of $600 or more as taxable income. There are exceptions, but they’re limited and require more paperwork. Consider it this way: You ran up $15,000 in credit-card debt and have only paid back $5,000. If the lender is unable to collect the remaining debt and writes it off as a loss, you’re expected to pay the taxes on the $10,000 that has been forgiven. The IRS considers that $10,000 of debt relief as a revenue windfall because you used that money to buy stuff, like clothes, dinners at nice restaurants or a new bike, and you no longer have the obligation to repay it. Lenders must report the amount of the irrecoverable debt to the IRS and to you on Form 1099-C, cancellation of debt. If you got debt relief in 2012, the lender should have mailed you this form, which must show the amount of the debt forgiven and the amount of the original debt or, in mortgage cases, the fairmarket value of the home. You must report this on your tax return. “Many people either don’t think they have to [report] it or don’t know about it,” says Bill Hardekopf, founder of creditcard information site LowCards.com. “Chances are they never noticed the form and just tossed it out.” Also make sure the 1099-C form is correct. Nina Olson, head

Bob Daly

of the IRS’s Office of the Taxpayer Advocate, has warned Congress that financial institutions have issued 1099-Cs for debts they haven’t even tried to collect for some time or have forgiven. Some taxpayers have received duplicate 1099-Cs for the same debt and have found it difficult to reconcile with the IRS, according to Ms. Olson. Debt cancellation isn’t always a taxable event. The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007, which excludes certain types of mortgage debt from taxes, got spared in the final hours of the so-called fiscal-cliff

negotiations and was extended to the end of this year. As a result, mortgage debt that was partly or entirely cleared from 2007 through 2013 isn’t taxable. But this is only with mortgages that were used to “buy, build or improve” your principal residence, according to the IRS. It must be the home you live in most months of the year and it doesn’t include second or vacation homes. For example, if a home carrying a mortgage of $600,000 was sold for $250,000 in a short sale, the $350,000 remaining obligation that was canceled isn’t taxable under the law. The same is true if the mortgage was restructured to a lower rate or forgiven in a foreclosure. Mortgages restructured under the Home Affordable Modification Program, or HAMP, follow the same general rules, according to the IRS. The IRS maxes out the qualified home indebtedness at $2 million for couples filing jointly. For divorced couples, the rules on canceled mortgage debt are uniform but applied differently. Using that same example, if $350,000 of the value of the debt is canceled, both homeowners will get the 1099-C. What

they must do then is decide how they will split the responsibility. The easiest, of course, is a simple 50-50 cut, which means each will report $175,000 in canceled debt. If you’ve used a home-equity line of credit for home improvements and the like, that too is spared of tax consideration if canceled. Be prepared to show documentation supporting those claims. Home-equity lines of credit used to pay off credit cards or buy a new car are taxable if canceled. Though debt cleared on second homes, rental property, business property, credit cards or car loans doesn’t pass the tax-forgiveness threshold, the IRS says that other tax-relief provisions— say, insolvency or bankruptcy— could be applicable. For example, if credit-card debt was absolved in a bankruptcy petition, the IRS won’t consider that income. Credit-card debt relief also can be tax-free if you’re insolvent, meaning your total debts exceed the total fair-market value of all your assets—that includes everything you own, such as your home, car, furniture, jewelry, stocks, life-insurance policies, pension or other retirement accounts and investments.

REALITY CHECK

Back to Business in Venezuela? BY REX NUTTING Quoted: “At this challenging time of President Hugo Chávez’s passing, the United States reaffirms its support for the Venezuelan people.” —President Barack Obama, March 5

EDITOR’S NOTE: Rex Nutting, MarketWatch’s Washington-based international commentary editor, checks the facts behind financial and economic pronouncements of executives, pundits and politicians.

The Reality: The president would like us to believe that the differences the U.S. had with Mr. Chávez stem solely from U.S. concerns for the well-being of the Venezuelan people, and not from differences over global power politics. By all accounts, Mr. Chávez was a popular leader, winning re-election in October by a

comfortable margin. Outside observers found some, but few, faults with the election process, and the opposition didn’t challenge the outcome. Mr. Chávez’s economic legacy is mixed: Severe poverty declined sharply under his rule, but inflation, corruption and slow growth have plagued his oil-rich nation.

Mr. Obama said he was committed “to democratic principles, the rule of law, and respect for human rights,” but the record shows that the U.S. tried to drive the elected populist from power—including U.S. government support of a nearly successful 2002 coup. The source of Mr. Chávez’s power (and his hatred of Washington) was simply this: His government sided with the poor, instead of with the domestic and foreign elites who have had their way in much of Latin America. Mr. Chávez refused to toe the elites’—or Washington’s— line. rnutting@marketwatch.com

BY AL LEWIS

The Transportation Security Administration tacitly admitted last week that a big part of its job is a complete waste of time. The TSA says it will soon allow small pocket knives onto planes, as well as ski poles, pool cues, mini-baseball bats, hockey sticks and other potential weapons that it has banned since the 9/11 attacks. TSA Administrator John Pistole said the move will give his officers time to look for more important things, like bombs. Oh, and they’ll keep screening for bottled water, yogurt, cream cheese, toothpaste, shampoos and conditioners in containers larger than 3.4 ounces. This is an agency that has blown more than $60 billion since 2001, crimping the flow of commerce and harassing the flying public with humiliations that used to be reserved for criminal suspects. The agency has an annual operating budget of more than $8 billion and an army of 62,000 employees. It gets its funding from taxpayers and ticket fees. Naturally, the TSA is a regular target of lawmakers calling for investigations and sometimes its complete abolition. As a newsman, though, I should support the agency because it produces one really embarrassing headline after the next. Here are some recent ones I’ve cribbed from the Associated Press. They pretty much tell the story: “Oregon man who stripped at airport to protest security measures appears, clothed, in court.” July 18, 2012. “Arab-Jewish woman strip-searched at Detroit airport on 9/11 anniversary sues TSA, Frontier.” Jan. 22, 2013. “Grandma: TSA agents forced crying 4-year-old to undergo pat-down at Kansas airport after hug.” April 26, 2012. “TSA apologizes for St. Louis airport screening that left wheelchair-bound 3-yearold in tears.” Feb. 21, 2013.

“TSA employee sentenced for possessing child pornography.” Nov. 19 2012. “TSA proposes terminations of seven Philly airport workers linked to alleged bribery scheme.” June, 15, 2012. “TSA screener accused of stealing iPads, electronic devices from luggage at JFK airport.” Dec. 5, 2012. “Second former TSA worker pleads guilty in a plot to smuggle cocaine through the Atlanta airport.” Oct. 17, 2012. “Ex-TSA officer sentenced in Connecticut to prison for taking cash to let oxycodone through security.” Sept. 25, 2012. “TSA moves to fire bag screeners at Boston airport because they were distracted by cellphones.” Aug. 28, 2012. “TSA fires eight Newark, N.J., airport screeners caught sleeping, violating other standards.” June 28, 2012. “TSA chief tells Congress, he knows agency’s reputation is bad but working to improve image.” June 7, 2012. Clearly, that work continues. Many people were upset last week about the TSA’s latest decision, including families of 9/11 victims, flight attendants and air marshals who may have to do battle at 30,000 feet. But in an interview with CNN, former TSA chief Kip Hawley said allowing sharp objects onto planes was such a good idea, he wished he’d done it himself. Fortified cockpit doors, improved intelligence and a flying public that knows to fight back are the real deterrents, he explained. “They ought to let everything on that is sharp and pointy,” he told CNN. “Battle axes, machetes…bring anything you want. … While you may be able to commit an act of violence, you will not be able to take over the plane. It is as simple as that.” So, besides all those eyecatching headlines, why are we wasting billions on the TSA? Al Lewis is a columnist for Dow Jones Newswires in Denver.

A common theme when trying to save money is “do it yourself,” but many car owners are hesitant to take that advice and attempt basic maintenance and repairs on their vehicles. Many repairs and maintenance tasks are easy enough to complete, even for those without many tools or skills. Here are a few maintenance and repair jobs you might want to try yourself along with a few resources. • Replace engine air filter. The filter is easy to find under the hood and easy to replace, usually just requiring removal of a few screws from the filter box and swapping in a clean,

$15 or $20 filter for an old, dirty one. That cost compares with possibly $50 or more if you have a repair shop do it, said Tracey Virtue, director of operations strategy for AutoMD.com. • Wiper blades. Instructions for replacing blades are often on the package. “It’s really easy and cheap to do it yourself,” Virtue said. You might save about $10 each time. • Light bulbs. Headlights, brake lights, taillights and turn signals all have bulbs that might occasionally need to be replaced. They are generally easy to access and require just turning a bulb with your hand to remove and replace it. Again, a shop will likely charge for time and mark up the price of the bulb. Gregory Karp, The Chicago Tribune

Q&A

Why “balance” is a myth The Post sits down with Teresa Taylor, a telecommunications expert and new author Teresa Taylor spent 23 years at US West and later Qwest. She was appointed chief operating officer of the telecommunications company in 2009, a position she held until the company was acquired by Louisiana-based CenturyLink. Today she serves on a variety of public boards and assists state leaders with their economic-development efforts. This month, Taylor, a mother of two sons, released a book titled “The Balance Myth,” which takes on the elusive “work-life balance.” Denver Post Business editor Kristi Arellano sat down with Taylor last week to talk about her new book. Question: Your book challenges the premise that it’s possible for working women to achieve balance in their lives. Can you talk about what ultimately led you to that conclusion? A: In my book, I say there is no such thing as balance. Hence the title, “The Balance Myth.” My premise is that there is no such thing as balance, and searching for it leads to frustration, disappointment and sadness, which eventually causes women to drop out of the workforce completely or to pull back. So my premise in the book is stop searching for it — it doesn’t exist — and, in fact, merge your two lives together. So one life, one calendar, one family. And when you put them together, and stop searching for this mythical equation or problem to be solved, you’ll have success in both. Q: You talk about merging calendars in the book. How did you come to that conclusion, and why was it significant? A: I had just become a new VP at Qwest, and I had grown up thinking you keep one calendar for home, one calendar for the office. You don’t blend them. At work you don’t talk about home, and at home you don’t talk much about work. And I began to miss things. I was missing deadlines. I was missing my kids’ events. Everything was falling apart, basically. So that’s when I said, “The heck with it. I’m going to put this all together.” I basically brought the “mother into the career,” and I did a lot better. Things went much better professionally. And at home, I wasn’t a big mess either. My kids were part of work. ... I’d bring them to work events. I opened myself up and, I think, became a better leader. Q: When you did that, did you find that your team started to do the same and be more open about their families — both men and women? A: Absolutely. At first, everyone thought, “Only I’m struggling with this.” But once you start talking about it, people open up. “You know, I’m having problems with my kids’ teachers also,” or “I’m having this problem at work.” It just opened up this whole thing where we became a stronger team at work too. Q: As a female executive, I’m sure you’re used to being the only woman at the

“So my premise in the book is stop searching for it (balance) — it doesn’t exist — and, in fact, merge your two lives together. So one life, one calendar, one family. ” Teresa Taylor Joe Amon, The Denver Post board table or the only woman in the room. What’s your reaction to that, and how do companies go about changing that? A: There’s no one answer to how companies go about changing that. But I also think that part of it is us, as women, wanting to be there. When I got to the top, there weren’t a lot of women around me. If I wanted to hire five others, there weren’t five to hire. Which goes back to my point: I think women pull themselves out of the workforce at a certain point and say, “I can’t do this anymore,” or they pull back and aren’t at that level. So I think it’s a combination of the cultures changing at companies to be more accepting to women, understanding the benefits of a diverse team, and also women themselves pushing into it and moving themselves up into that area. Q: Does mentorship play a role in that? A: Absolutely, but I have to say, probably my strongest mentors were men. They were usually the ones pushing me and giving me that confidence. I think one of the big pieces of women moving up is

having the confidence to believe that you can do it. And it was usually men that gave that to me — because there were more men around. Q: Working from home or telecommuting has been in the news right now following Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer’s decision to move everybody back into the office. What’s your reaction to that move? A: I think Yahoo is being very shortsighted by making a blanket statement to say, “Everybody must come into the office.” Now, Best Buy, I thought, was being more reasonable by saying, “Let’s talk about it. Let the manager or supervisor make the decision based on what type of role you’re in.” I think they are moving in a better direction. But the bottom line is, there’s nothing wrong with working from home in certain roles. Sometimes it makes sense. If you’re a salesperson, especially remote, why are you going to go into a building and sit with two people when you’re on the road all the time? IT developers are a great example of someone who can be at home to get more work done. If you have any sort of inter-

national capabilities, you have people who need to be on the phone at midnight. Are you going to have them come into an office and just sit in a cube so they can be on a conference call? I am absolutely a supporter of working from home for certain jobs and certain situations. So it’s disappointing with Yahoo. If they have nonperformance going on, they should deal with that. And that answer isn’t make everybody come into the office, sit in a cube and talk to each other. If you have nonperformers, that’s not going to solve that at all. Today, with mobility, broadband in your home, you have collaborative tools, document-handling tools — it’s a great way to get a lot of work done. I don’t know anyone who is a salaried employee who only works 40 hours a week. I don’t really believe that because you’re going to work from home for a day or a portion of a day, that you’re nonproductive. Because you’re probably making it up a different day, or somewhere else. Edited for space and clarity.

Casual dining searches for a new recipe amid increased competition Trendier restaurants and cheaper, faster fare have taken a bite out of midpriced chains. By Sandra Pedicini Orlando Sentinel

Casual dining is in the throes of a midlife crisis. A quarter-century ago, consumers feasted on fried appetizers, unlimited

bread sticks and big desserts at Applebee’s, Olive Garden and Chili’s. Today, many Americans are trading those restaurants in for cheaper, faster fare or splurging a bit for a trendier experience. Midpriced, sit-down restaurants — known as casual dining in the industry — have seen on average about 2 percent fewer customer visits each year since 2008. That translates into a total drop of almost 600 million annual vis-

its, to 6.4 billion in 2012. “They’ve been around quite a while, and … many of them have not stayed as relevant in meeting consumers’ wants and needs of today,” said Bonnie Riggs, a restaurant analyst with research company NPD Group. The world’s largest casual-dining company, Orlando, Fla.-based Darden Restaurants, has been hit especially hard. Company executives cut sales

and earnings expectations last month, acknowledging to analysts that their major brands such as Olive Garden and Red Lobster have suffered because they’ve been too slow in responding to major shifts in how Americans eat out. Other companies have experienced similar turbulence. Earlier this month, Applebee’s and IHOP owner DineEquity reported declining traffic at both brands for its fourth quarter,

while Chili’s parent Brinker International toned down its profit forecast. The industry is trying to reinvent itself with lower-priced meals that are quicker and more healthful. Darden, for example, said last week it plans to speed up Olive Garden’s lunch service, jump on culinary trends more quickly, attract younger diners with more technology and lure back lower-income customers with good deals.

The figures from the Labor Department included a revised 119,000 payrolls addition in January that was smaller than initially estimated. Hiring in construction climbed the most in nearly six years. The increase in jobs had Kathy Bostjancic, director of macroeconomic analysis at the Conference Board, questioning whether the momentum can be sustained, with the answer â&#x20AC;&#x153;complicated by the budget cuts under the sequester.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The job growth through February underlines the fact that the private economy was improving and likely will come back to this growth path after it absorbs this new shock,â&#x20AC;? she said.

sunday, march 10, 2013 B denverpost.com B the denver post

More jobs mean more money for people to spend, and consumer spending drives 70 percent of economic activity. And there has been a flurry of other hopeful signs lately. Homebuilders broke ground on new homes last year at the fastest pace in four years. Sales of autos, the second-biggest consumer purchase, are at a five-

year high. If recent history is any guide, this economic expansion is still young. The expansion that began in June 2009 is 44 months old. The previous three expansions lasted 73 months, 120 months and 92 months. Stocks reasonably priced Investors like to use a gauge called price-earnings ratios in

deciding whether to buy or sell. Low P/E ratios signal that stocks are cheap relative to a company’s earnings; high ones signal that they are expensive. Currently, P/Es are neither low nor high, suggesting stocks are reasonably priced. To calculate a P/E, you divide the price of a stock by its annual earnings per share. A company

that earns $4 a share and has a $60 stock has a P/E of 15. Most investors calculate P/Es two ways: based on estimates of earnings for the next 12 months and based on earnings for the past 12. Stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 are at 13.7 times estimated earnings per share in 2013. That is close to the average estimated P/E ratio of 14.2 over the past 10 years, according to FactSet. The P/E based on past earnings paints a similar picture. The S&P 500 trades at 17.6 times earnings per share in 2012, basically the same as the 17.5 average since World War II, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices, which oversees the index. Optimistic investors A new love of stocks could prove a powerful force pushing prices up. In fact, it can push them up even if earnings don’t increase. That’s what happened in the five years through 1986. Earnings fell 2 percent, but the S&P 500 almost doubled as small investors who had soured on stocks throughout the 1970s returned to the market. The mul-

said the bill to hold resorts liable for rescue costs is “ill-drafted legislation” that “has no legs.” Vermont is one of the few states in the U.S. that have laws allowing state police and search-and-rescue teams to bill lost skiers for rescue costs. Riehle said resorts too can bill skiers who require out-of-bounds rescue by ski patrollers. “So it would make no sense for us to start billing each other, particularly when the ski areas are often a big part of the rescue efforts with on-mountain personnel and equipment,” Riehle said. In Colorado, resorts can bill out-of-bounds skiers for rescue costs, and ski areas can recover some rescue costs from the Colorado Search and Rescue Fund. Melanie Mills, president of Colorado Ski Country, said she doesn’t expect to see a similar

proposal in the Colorado statehouse. The U.S. Forest Service embraces an open-access policy for public lands outside ski areas and has avoided closing access even when local searchand-rescue teams support closing access. San Miguel County Sheriff Bill Masters has long urged executives at the local Telluride ski area to close access gates leading into the steep, powdery Bear Creek drainage that tumbles into the box canyon. As head of the local search-and-rescue team, Masters and his crew have pulled eight bodies out of avalanche debris in Bear Creek. He said he would support legislation like the proposed law in Vermont that holds resorts liable for rescue costs. “This is a great idea,” Masters said. Masters is not among the ma-

jority in Colorado’s search-andrescue community. Teams across the state have long opposed the idea of charging for rescues, arguing that imposing costs could result in fatalities as hikers and skiers forgo a call for help in fear of a hefty rescue bill. Colin Dinsmore, president of the Summit County Rescue Group, said charging resorts and allowing resorts to pass along the increased cost to guests “would greatly set back

the years of work that has gone into advocating for not charging for rescues.” Dinsmore’s all-volunteer group — most search-and-rescue organizations in the state are staffed with volunteers — logged 7,000 hours in training and rescue missions in 2012. Many of those winter missions involved ski patrollers searching for skiers who left one of Summit County’s four major ski areas. Charging resorts could

Stock specialist Christian Sanfillippo works Tuesday on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. In the current financial climate, there are reasons to consider investing in stocks again.

STOCKS «FROM 1K What’s more, some of the typical threats to stock run-ups — such as rising inflation and interest rates, which often trigger a recession — seem unlikely to appear soon. Among reasons to consider stocks again: A stronger economy There are no signs of a recession. And that’s encouraging for stocks, which almost always fall ahead of an economic downturn. Stocks started falling two months before the Great Recession began in December 2007 and one year before the recession that started in March 2001. Better yet, the economy may be on the verge of faster growth. The Labor Department announced Friday that the unemployment rate in February dipped from 7.9 percent to 7.7 percent, its lowest level since December 2008. Employers added more than 200,000 jobs each month from November to February, compared with 150,000 in each of the prior three months.

RESORT «FROM 1K In California, Sen. Bill Monning has proposed a bill that would require ski resorts to publish an annual safety plan and post monthly reports detailing every injury and death at the ski area. Bob Roberts, president of the California Ski Industry Association, said the bill would make it easier to sue ski areas in California. Similar bills introduced in recent years have failed. “California’s legal system embraces the assumption of risk doctrine,” Roberts said, detailing the legal premise that limits liability when a participant assumes a certain level of risk for an activity. “Roughly half of the time, resorts receive summary judgments, thanks to the doctrine.” The issues occasionally crop up in Colorado. The state’s resorts have long struggled with rescuing skiers who leave backcountry-access gates at the top of the ski area. In the 2010-11 ski season, two Colorado skiers were killed in unmanaged terrain just outside resort boundary ropes at the Snowmass and Mary Jane ski areas. Last season, two skiers died in avalanches triggered beyond the gates of Telluride and Snowmass ski areas. A highprofile accident just outside Washington’s Stevens Pass ski area in February 2012 claimed the lives of three expert skiers. As the ski industry relishes a record boom in backcountrygear sales — adventure-seeking skiers and snowboarders spent $40 million last season on beacons, shovels, probe poles and climbing skins — the resort industry and public land managers are grappling with strategies to better prepare skiers who leave resort gates to access more dangerous terrain on public lands. In Vermont, where most ski areas are surrounded by state lands instead of open-access federal lands in the West, legislators are stepping into the discussion with proposals to saddle resorts and skiers with more responsibility. Parker Riehle, president of the Vermont Ski Areas Association,

tiple — shorthand for the P/E ratio — rose from 8 to nearly 17. Market-watchers refer to this as “multiple expansion.” Will it happen again? As stocks have surged over the past four years, individual investors have been selling, which is nearly unprecedented in a bull market. But they may be having second thoughts. In January, they put nearly $20 billion more into U.S. stock mutual funds than they took out, according to the Investment Company Institute, a trade group for funds. Some financial analysts say we are at the start of a “Great Rotation.” That would mean investors shifting money into stocks from bonds. If that happens, stocks could soar. It’s too soon to say if the buying will continue. Low interest rates Interest rates are near record lows. That’s good for stocks because it lowers borrowing costs for companies and makes bonds, which compete with stocks for investor money, less appealing. If you want to kill a stock rally, then hike interest rates.

Deck view from a contemporary home in Denverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hilltop neighborhood by RE/MAX agent Denice Reich. By Mark Samuelson

In a town where average houses show sentimental references to Georgian, Tudor, or mountain architecture, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suddenly very cool to have a much more contemporary look, says Hilltop expert agent Denice Reich â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so much so that buyers are gutting older ranches around Hilltop create modern, cleanlined pop-tops. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll show you the view that one contemporary home has today â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a design thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way, way beyond what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find in the nicest Hilltop remodel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a one-of-a-kind, highly unusual home,â&#x20AC;? says Reich about the $2.975 million listing she has on the market at 5430 E. Dakota Avenue. Seller Henry Lerman created the place after searching for perfect urban sites in La Jolla, Atlanta and Las Vegas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and then discovered this hillside with its view across the city to the Rockies,

WHERE: Lavish contemporary home with rare Front Range view from Hilltop. 5430 E. Dakota Ave., Denver; from Colorado Blvd take Alameda east 1 mi. to Grape, turn south to E. Dakota and then left. PRICE: $2.975 million WHEN: See view today, 3-to-4 p.m.; tours by appt. PHONE: 303-886-0000 WEB: CallItSold.com

in a town where neither he nor his wife had lived before. Lerman found Sprocket DesignBuild, known for their clean-lined urban homes in LoHi, and let them create the sleek exterior; and brought in an architect from Florida for a super contemporary interior to match. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the indoors today, but Reich and Stephanie Goldammer will take you around to the views that are laid out from upper and lower decks, both of them huge, one situated off the guest bedroom level; and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll set an appointment for you to go inside â&#x20AC;&#x201C; well worth the wait for the sublime main-floor master suite, with huge closet space (Lerman claims it was the singlehighest priority he gave the architect); a terrific home office/TV lounge with jazz mural; bright entertaining areas in stark white and gray; and plenty of sleek marble and premium hardware. Reich will also tell you frankly about how fast the market is changing in Denverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most upscale neighborhoods â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a situation where suddenly the word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;scarcityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is being used by buyers and their agents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a night and day change from a year ago,â&#x20AC;? she adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The good houses in Hilltop sell immediately. Crestmoor is so hot itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unreal.â&#x20AC;? The 6,407 square foot home is just west of Holly Street on Dakota. From S. Colorado Boulevard take Alameda east a mile to Grape, turn south a block to E. Dakota, and then left.

A Breakfast of Cereal Killers Children need good nutrition to stay mentally sharp in school, to reduce the risk of behavior problems, and to remain in good physical health. Yet for any number of reasons, many parents simply feed their kids commercial cereals. Many of these cereals are nothing more than junk food. The Environmental Working Group recently publicized the sugar content of 10 popular breakfast cereals for children. When I read the organization’s report, I realized things were worse than I had imagined. Kellogg’s Honey Smacks was 56 percent sugar! It should be called dessert, not breakfast. Second on the sugar-laden list was Post Golden Crisp, which was 52 percent sugar. The other eight cereals were 41 to 48 percent sugar and included popular cereals such as Kellogg’s Froot Loops and Apple Jacks, and Quaker Oats Cap’n Crunch and Oh!s. The big cereal companies ought to be ashamed of themselves. So should any parent who feeds this stuff to their children. –JC

Pycnogenol® Supplements Lead to Improved Cognitive Function

A new study has found that supplemental Pycnogenol®, a natural complex of antioxidants derived from French maritime pine bark, can lead to improvements in cognitive function among university students. Gianni Belcaro, MD, PhD, of Chieti-Pescara University, Italy, and his colleagues asked 55 students, ages 18 to 27 years, to take 100 mg of Pycnogenol® daily for eight weeks. Belcaro tracked another 55 students as a control group. The researchers found that students taking Pycnogenol® had signiﬁcant improvements in sustained attention, memory, decision making, and mood when compared with the control group. Test scores for the Pycnogenol® group were better, averaging 7.6 percent higher than those in the control group. Reference: Luzzi R, Belcaro G, Zulli C, et al. Pycnogenol® supplementation improves cognitive function, attention and mental performance in students. Panminerva Medica, 2011;53 (Suppl 1):75-82.

Vitamin D increases chromosome protection

Several nutrients appear to maintain the length of telomeres, the protective tips of chromosomes, and shortened telomeres are associated with aging. Researchers from Georgia Health Sciences University, Atlanta, asked 37 overweight AfricanAmericans to take either 60,000 IU of vitamin D or placebos once a month for 16 weeks. The vitamin D was equivalent to 2,000 IU daily. People taking the vitamin D had a three-fold increase in their blood levels of the vitamin. In addition, they had almost a 20-percent increase in the activity of telomerase, an enzyme involved in increasing the size of telomeres. African-Americans and overweight individuals have a higher than average risk of vitamin D deﬁciency. Zhu H. International Journal of Obesity, 2011: doi 10.1038/ijo.2011.197.

Vitamin Cottage Book Club The Gluten Free Edge

Paperback

For the estimated 30 million Americans with forms of gluten intolerance, such as celiac disease, this all-too-common protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, can cause gastrointestinal trouble, inflammation, muscle fatigue, and mental fog that hinder an active lifestyle and negatively impact athletic performance. The solution: a natural-foods, nutrient-dense, gluten-free diet. Others who voluntarily eat gluten-free can also discover an edge they never knew was missing: faster recovery, reduced inflammation, improved digestion, and increased athletic performance.

he spring equinox is in sight, marking the start of a new season, and for many people, symbolizing a time of growth, renewal, and cleansing. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), spring is also the season of the liver. Imagine the spring as a sort of “awakening” for the liver, a time when it becomes more active, working hard to clean out a winter’s worth of congestion, and a good time to give it some extra support. The liver is our largest internal organ, and possibly the hardest working. It has been described as “the general of an army” and some of its functions include: metabolizing carbohydrates, fats, and protein; aiding in digestion and the absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins; making cholesterol; converting vitamin D to its active form; storing iron, vitamins A, D, K, and B12; metabolizing and breaking down hormones once they have done their work; converting thyroid hormone into its active form; promoting healthy blood clotting; and helping to metabolize and detoxify toxins from our bodies, including OTC and prescription drugs, household chemicals, food preservatives, pesticides and other environmental toxins, alcohol, and cigarette smoke.

It also makes bile, stores glycogen for energy, helps regulate blood sugar, decomposes red blood cells, stores blood, and regulates how much blood circulates in the body – one of the liver’s primary functions is to store up to 55 percent of your total blood volume when the body is at rest. If an organ could be an overachiever, the liver would come out on top. And just as its functions are wide and varied, so are the symptoms that can indicate liver dysfunction/congestion. They may include fat metabolism issues, blood sugar problems, digestive problems, hormonal imbalances, and nervous system and immune dysfunction. Outward manifestations can include irritability and anger, a bitter taste in the mouth, rosacea, or jaundice (yellowing of the eyes and skin). TCM practitioners have even made a connection between a stagnant liver and seasonal allergies – an unhealthy liver impairs the proper functioning of the lungs and respiratory tract, causing them to become hypersensitive to pollens. Because the liver carries such a heavy workload, it is easy for it to become overburdened and eventually congested, leading to a multitude of health issues (as you saw above). Too much processed food, unhealthy fats, excess carbohydrates, alcohol, recreational drugs, prescription drugs, and chemicals are some of the things that contribute to a congested liver. You can see that in our modern world, it is easy to overburden the liver. Adding to this burden is the epidemic of obesity, insulin resistance, and type-2 diabetes. What was once a problem that occurred mostly in heavy drinkers, fatty liver disease is becoming common among American adults. Some estimates conclude that fatty liver affects between 70 and 90 percent of obese people or those with type-2 diabetes. It occurs when excess fat accumulates in the liver, leading to inﬂammation and damaged tissue; there’s also evidence that it can increase the risk of heart disease. Though it typically goes hand in hand with insulin resistance, which is a precursor to type-2 diabetes, it appears that fatty liver independently increases the risk of type-2

Whether you are dealing with fatty liver or just a congested, overburdened liver, in addition to a healthy diet (healthy protein and fats, and an abundance of vegetables), there are a number of supplements that can support your liver and help it function at its best: Milk thistle. Silymarin, an extract of milk thistle is well documented in treating liver diseases, including alcoholic and viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, and fatty liver. One of its actions is to block the entry of viral and other toxins into the liver, preventing damage to the liver cells. It also improves liver regeneration (allowing the organ to produce new cells) and has been shown to shrink an enlarged liver. Alpha lipoic acid. This powerful antioxidant helps to protect the liver from free radical damage, helps detoxify heavy metals from the liver, and has successfully been used to treat both acute and chronic liver damage, including hepatitis C, alcohol-induced damage, and mushroom poisoning. Turmeric. This herb keeps alcohol and other toxins form being converted to a harmful form in the liver and accelerates the detoxiﬁcation process. Its main chemical component, curcumin, inhibits the action of a liver enzyme that causes environmental toxins to be processed in ways that make them carcinogenic. Note that turmeric is not recommended for those with severe liver disorders. Other nutrients that are especially important for supporting the liver are N-acetyl cysteine, phosphatidylcholine, vitamin C, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids. Your liver works hard to keep metabolic processes running smoothly and your body free of harmful toxins… take some time this spring to give it a little extra love and support.

Summer camps give kids

a dose of By Douglas Brown The Denver Post

Between the erosion of recess, the lure of screens, the fear of lunatics, and the compulsion to overcommit (Girl Scouts, swim team practice, dance recital, piano lessons, and much more) it’s a wonder kids these days get outside at all. For those of us who grew up running around in woods and fields, losing ourselves to made-up games in parks, and tossing Nerf balls in backyards, we understand an adolescence divorced from nature represents change, but not progress. We can remember what it felt like to be 11, on our backs in the grass and staring at clouds. The bird songs were so pleasing. The songs aren’t going away, at least not yet. But increasingly, young people aren’t hearing them, because they don’t spend much time outside. Theirs is the first generation so profoundly stuck indoors, according to author and activist Richard Louv. Louv, who writes about what he calls “Vitamin N” — the “N” stands for nature — believes nature is vital for mental and physical health, as well as the vigor of a culture. He argues, persuasively, that we need to introduce younger generations to the wild world around them. It doesn’t need to be the Grand Tetons; the wilderness can mean the stream behind the swings, or the place under the big cottonwood where kids eat lunch during summer camp. “Take nature away from kids,” Louv said, “and I think you are removing part of their humanity.” Louv’s books, Last Child in the Woods and The Nature Principle, dig deep into

the premise that when cultures lurch away from nature, quality of life erodes. More and more research, he says, suggests societal problems like obesity and attention-deficit disorder may spring, at least in part, from our collective internment between walls and under roofs (and sitting before screens). In an interview, he pointed toward a recent study that made connections between an epidemic of myopia in the developed world, and people’s remove from forests, meadows and even, simply, patches of grass with trees around. All of that gazing into rectangles of light and just across rooms, instead of into horizons and across mesas, may be turning us blind. Vitamin N isn’t just for the dissipation of medical issues. When kids are playing independently in a field or on a mound of dirt, free from video games or cartoons, they invent their own games, learn social and problem-solving skills, and nurture creativity. Battling the nature-free epidemic has become a movement. Louv’s books spawned the Children & Nature Network (childrenandnature.org), a nonprofit that promotes connecting kids with nature, and broadcasts relevant scientific research. The National Wildlife Federation (nwf.org), the nation’s largest and oldest conservation organization, has made connecting families with nature a top priority, said Lindsay Legendre, the head of the nonprofit’s Be Out There program. Among other things, the Be Out There program sponsors the Great American Backyard Campout every June, an effort to get families into tents in their yards. “We look at it from a health perspec-

what they really need —

tive,” she said. “A lot of kids are overweight, a lot are on medication now and they never used to be. It’s a very sedentary lifestyle. We are advocating for more outdoors because it can help with those childhood issues. Also, as an environmental organization, if kids don’t develop a love for the outside, why will they care as adults to protect it? We are doomed if we don’t make sure kids are connected to nature now.” I believe all of it. When my wife and I decided to uproot our family from the city of Baltimore and move to the Front Range, nature — as it is for a lot of recent Coloradans — figured largely into the decision. We wanted more — much more — of it. Before we had kids, we spent years in Minnesota and New Mexico, where we marinated in wetlands and forest (The Land of 10,000 Lakes) and desert and mountains (The Land of Enchantment). With children we lived in Baltimore, which had its seductions (it is named Charm City, after all, and for good reason), but nature was not one of them. It just doesn’t figure largely into Baltimore’s manifold pleasures. I think had we worked at it with more ingenuity and grit, we would have found the nature we needed, but we didn’t do that. We moved to Denver, and then to Boulder, and we camped, we hiked, we biked, we pursued Centennial State wilderness at a near-manic pace. Quickly, we noticed that after our kids spent time in nature, their moods seemed softer, their demeanors a bit more wholesome and lovely. The youngest one tended to turn crabby at the prospect of a long walk on a trail, but her attitude often transformed, for the better, during the hike. If she had a friend along, the jaunt was just a big adventure from the outset. And all along, here in Colorado, we

sent our kids to summer camps that leveraged the outdoors. They held chickens and picked carrots and planted seeds in farm camps. They trotted around dusty rings in horse camps. They swam in traditional camps, the kind where days are divided into different outdoor activities: tennis, swimming, kickball. At a camp in Gold Hill, in the foothills between Boulder and the Peak to Peak Highway, my oldest took a shine to mountain boarding, a sport like snowboarding — you tear down a mountain on a board — only the board has wheels, and the falls involve dirt, rocks and roots instead of snow. Did she say ouch? She did, many times. But she kept going back for more ouch because she loved it. Ropes courses, lake plunges, canoeing, sailing, yoga under Colorado’s blue skies — camps have given my kids enviable, and I think character-building, summers. I don’t think an annual parade of camps is necessary for the development of a well-adjusted child, but I do believe valuing and trumpeting nature should vault higher in our cultural consciousness, and by that I don’t mean “liking” more cute photos of lion cubs on Facebook. I mean smelling pine and hearing ravens and shielding eyes from snow-reflected sunlight, all at the same time. That sort of thing. Make that important, for you and your kids. We take much for granted, and in today’s hyper-wired and hyperkinetic world it is easy to miss the vibrant schools and playgrounds all around us — the trails headed up and up and up (and then, down), the tangles of vegetation at the edges of the soccer fields where the animals live, the branches of the oak that seem made for climbing.

Girl Scouts learn windsurfing, canoeing and more at water sports day camp at Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood.

Tips for choosing the right camp Though having fun is a priority, David Secunda cautions there are other important considerations. As the founder of Avid4Adventure, a multi- and singlesport outdoor camp in Denver, Highlands Ranch, Golden and Boulder, he says it’s sometimes easy to just pick the least expensive or most convenient option.

Provided by Girl Scouts of Colorado

He offers these guidelines once you have narrowed down your choices. 1. Camp credentials. Find out if the camp is accredited by the American Camp Association. Accredited camps have to comply with more than 300 safety and youth development standards. Also, find out if the camp is licensed by the Colorado Department of Human Services, which has further health and safety guidelines.

Camps for all schedules, budgets Thanks to the movie “The Parent Trap,” I always held summer camp in the highest esteem and longed to play outdoors with my peers while living off a balanced diet of chicken fingers, ice pops and the occasional corn dog for good measure. I was sure I would even run into my long-lost twin sister, move to England and master my British accent. However, the only camp I attended was run by my church when, as a naïve 12-yearold, I was initiated with a Snipe Hunt. Prior to setting me loose in the woods, the older girls tutored me on how to capture those wily birds by making outlandish noises and banging two rocks together. I think war paint was even involved. Tip for my fellow gullible types: Snipes do not exist. I learned that the hard way.

But summer camps are all about fun and have come a long way since my youth. Themes run the gamut — from adventure to sports to art to drama to scuba, rowing and science, special-needs camps. Whether you’re a stay-at-home or working parent and are looking for halfday, full-day or overnight camps for your kids, there is something to fit every schedule and budget. When selecting a camp, children’s interests are important to consider but don’t be afraid to expose them to something new. Michelle Marquez works from home fulltime and considers summer camps a great option for her 6-year-old son. “We live in south metro Denver, and last summer he did a half-day golf camp by Skyhawks one week, another week of half-days at the Wildlife Experience, a week-long performing arts camp by Cen-

terStage Starz, a few days at Denver Equestrian’s horse camp and then Spanish camp at Yak Academy,” she said. Not only did he experience a lot of different pursuits but Marquez says he discovered a few passions along the way. Kimberly Jarrett fondly remembers her overnight camps as a Girl Scout. “For my kids, our local recreation programs often have affordable camps for all ages,” she said. “The Denver Zoo also has great Summer Safari camps and their Red Apple Scholarship Fund can help offset the cost.” Abrakadoodle offers summer art camps in recreation centers and schools throughout Denver. Lisa Kish-Pittman, director of art education, recommends parents look for camps that involve a mix of activities, not just one main subject. “Even though our focus is obviously on art, we also include games, stories and songs.”

3. Camp management. How does the camp handle special needs? Listen for compassionate answers that involve individualized plans for each camper because most everyone has a special need at some time, whether it is nutrition, attention, rest, etc. If applicable, figure out how medications are transported, stored and administered. Secunda also advises parents to make sure the camp has a crisis management plan to deal with backup activities when inclement weather strikes or an emergency situation arises.

The C.H.A.M.P. Camp is a FREE 2 day non-contact football camp which strives to instill the core values of Character, Heart, Attitude, Motivation, and Pride through football fundamentals instruction and guest speakers delivering messages that will prepare campers for success both on and off the ﬁeld. Every position is instructed. Position drills include competitive 1 on 1’s and extensive group work. For additional information, see www.heartpowerinc.org or email us at info@heartpowerinc.org

2. Ask about the counselors. Figure out who will be spending time with your child and if they have been background checked. Do the counselors have experience working with children or is the camp just a summer job? What is the median age of the counselors and what is the counselor-to-child ratio? Be sure to look into their training and if certifications are required.
