DILLON - A haze of smoke from distant fires and an incessant breeze proved a fitting backdrop for Friday's presentation of "The Hysterical History of the Trojan War" at the Dillon Amphitheatre. Presented by the student actors of the Lake Dillon Youth Workshops, the production was the culmination of two weeks' work by local children. Some were walking the boards for the first time, while others had previous acting experience, but the short play is cleverly constructed so that all of the 21 kids got a good shot at lines and action.
Every summer, the Lake Dillon Theater Company offers this workshop, giving kids from age 7 through 13 the chance to feel what it's like to enter rehearsal, learn lines, get fitted for costumes and have stage makeup applied. Rehearsals for the show are mixed with theatrical exercises, and kids get their first lessons in stagecraft while also getting ready to do a live show in front of an audience.
This year's workshop was directed by Debbie Swartz, and the Trojan War theme worked well for the boys - who enjoyed the swordplay - and the girls, who got to play goddesses and prophets and even some of the heroes (Achilles was portrayed with panache by Mollie Ann Morrow). Borrowing heavily from pop culture, the show includes bits like a song about how the war came about set to the "Brady Bunch" theme and Hector's overly dramatic death scene punctuated by actor Wyatt Cunningham bleating "Rosebud!" with his final breath.
There are Spartans and Trojans, of course, and toga-clad gods and goddesses manipulating the action (via cellphone, no less). Homer himself (Sasha Celico) appears at times, including one bit where he plugs a signing of "The Iliad" after the show. As the unheeded prophet Cassandra, Payton Weinman has a wonderful time foretelling doom throughout the show, at one point crying, "How come nobody ever listens to me?!" Her warnings of lead paint in the Trojan Horse are ignored, and no amount of yelling "Doom on you!" sways the Trojans from their folly.
For the actors, theater camp is another way to pass the summer days while learning and having fun. For Toril Aserlind, who played Hera, lessons about projecting properly so the audience can hear her were mixed enjoying time with friends.
"This is my fourth year doing theater camp and this year I got a bigger role so it's more acting with more lines, which is cool," Aserlind said. "I loved making costumes with my friends."
While Cunningham enjoyed having the part of Hector with all the sword fighting, he said the two weeks leading up to the performance taught him a lot.
"It was a lot different than I thought," he said. "In class you didn't just rehearse lines. We actually played games and did many different exercises."
Starting next week, a whole new group of kids will take on the Trojan War, with another free performance set for July 21 at 10 and 11 a.m. There may still be room for young actors wishing to join in, and you can find out more at www.lakedillontheatre.org
"It's one of my favorite parts of the summer, and I think every kid should come because it is so much fun!" Aserlind said.
What: Lake Dillon Youth Workshops
When: 9 a.m.-3 p.m.; Session 2 is July 9-21 (full); Session 3 is July 23-Aug. 4
Cost: $375
Info: www.lakedillontheatre.org or (970) 513-9386

Grant Abstract
Grant Number:
PI Name: Barrows
Project Title: Conservation and Sustainable Use of Biodiversity in PNG
Abstract: DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of this ICBG is to improve human health and well being through an integrated set of programs dedicated to the description, assessment, rational utilization, and conservation of biodiversity in Papua New Guinea (PNG). PNG is home to approximately 5% of the world's biodiversity. An understanding of the range of biological resources existing in PNG is essential for their management, for the preservation of species critical to indigenous cultures, and for the development of strategies for sustainable use. Our central hypothesis is that effective new therapeutics can be derived from the natural products of PNG's biological wealth. Such therapeutics can provide needed revenue to local stake-holders and responsible PNG institutions, and an incentive for the preservation of biological diversity. The university-based drug discovery component will focus on human immunodeficiency virus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, while the industry based drug discovery component will focus on parasitic diseases, animal health and other therapeutic targets. The source organisms for drug discovery will be marine and terrestrial microbes and marine invertebrate animals. Documentation and preservation of traditional knowledge concerning medicinal plant use in PNG will be a second emphasis of this work. Medicinal plant surveys will be complemented by projects in support of the Traditional Medicines Taskforce, and student theses, to provide pharmacologic validation and chemical standardization of medicinal plants, and the identification of novel bioactive molecules. This research will provide professional development, educational opportunities and technology transfer for collaborating scientists and students. Conservation and biodiversity studies will center in the CTFS/SIGEO forest dynamics plot that has been established in Wanang, PNG, as part of the previous grant cycle's achievements. This plot is a unique and powerful research tool for studying forest dynamics, carbon sequestration and climate effects. Plot activities will integrate the botanical survey with the ecosystem study to include soil microbes and small plants. Outreach activities conducted as part of the Traditional Medicines and botanical survey work will foster the conservation and sustainable use of resources and provide benefits to stake-holders. Legislative initiatives developed with government input promote scientific exchange, conservation and sustainable resource use.

VAIL — When Michael and Lisa Blunck decided to move their youngest son away from the family's home in Crested Butte, they didn't know what the future would hold.
"We felt like we were giving him away," Michael Blunck said. "It was one of the hardest decisions my wife and I have had to make."
A few years later, their son Aaron is now an Olympian freeskier, the poster boy for a club that has been named the best freeskiing program in the United States for the second year in a row by the United States Ski and Snowboard Association.
"You want to let your kids live their dreams, and (Ski & Snowboard Club Vail) gave us that opportunity," Michael Blunck said.
Ski & Snowboard Club Vail learned this week that in addition to defending their title as the nation's top freeskiing program, the club also earned the overall designation of United States Ski and Snowboard Association Club of the Year, the highest honors a ski club can receive in the U.S.
Ski & Snowboard Club Vail also won four of the five big individual program Club of the Year honors, with alpine, snowboarding and freestyle joining freeskiing this year. Avon resident Elijah Teter also won Coach of the Year for snowboarding.
"It was an incredible year for us," said Ski & Snowboard Club Vail Executive Director Aldo Radamus. "It's unprecedented in my knowledge that a single club has won as many of those awards in the same year as we were honored with this year. I think the outstanding performances of all of the programs are just a testament to the commitment of the kids, the hard work of the coaches and the level of support that we have in the community."
Freeskier Cole Pates, who grew up in Eagle County, says it's the overall atmosphere created by Ski & Snowboard Club Vail and their academic partner, the Vail Ski & Snowboard Academy, that has driven his success as an athlete.
"You look around the room, we're all pushing each other to get better," said Pates, who this season learned tricks like the difficult switch double rodeo 900 with the help of Ski & Snowboard Club Vail's facilities. "The coaching staff is amazing, the athletes are amazing, it's just a great vibe."
The United States Ski and Snowboard Association's new president and CEO, Tiger Shaw, says that vibe Pates referenced is an atmosphere which ski clubs across the country should try to emulate.
"In some ways, it's no surprise to see (local athletes like Pates) come out of Ski & Snowboard Club Vail, it's such a tremendous, such a great mountain," Shaw said. "But, at the same time, as you get big, it's very hard to maintain quality, and (Ski & Snowboard Club Vail) seems to have been able to do that, and be a real prototype for the rest of the country, for clubs of all sizes."
Shaw and company will present Ski & Snowboard Club Vail with their awards at the United States Ski and Snowboard Association Congress 2014 Chairman's Awards Dinner in Park City, Utah, on May 16.
"From what I've seen under Aldo's leadership, the quality of coaches and the quality of programs and training at Ski & Snowboard Club Vail is truly extraordinary," Shaw said. "And it's rare when you see a club that is able to focus on so many different sports and execute so well on so many of them."
The only major Club of the Year discipline distinction Ski & Snowboard Club Vail didn't win this year was cross country. They won that last year.
"Vail is really in a league of its own," Shaw said. "With the halfpipe at Golden Peak, the alpine venue at Golden Peak, the cross-country program that they're able to do, the academy that they run, it's continued to amaze me, the breadth of that which they're trying to operate. They take on all of these at the same time. It's impressive."

It's hard to forget the music and events, the tens of thousands of cheering fans and the finale of flying teams streaking into Breckenridge from Swan Mountain road for the Stage 5 finish of last year's USA Pro Cycling Challenge.
This year, Breck landed a stage start, still on Friday and still on track to be just as unforgettable as the 2011 finish.
Some aspects of Friday's start may even be better than last year, local organizers say. The riders themselves, for one.
"After a finish, the riders are kind of burned out and they're kind of distant," Breckenridge spokeswoman Kim Dykstra-DiLallo said. "With this, they're excited, they're pumped. The accessibility you get with the riders is much better with a start."
Spectators will have plenty of opportunities to get up close and personal with the riders Friday morning, from the start village in downtown Breckenridge prior, when teams will be equipped with sharpies and ready to sign autographs, to the two parade laps around Breckenridge prior to the start.
The whole event is expected to be a bit more relaxed than last year as well, when roads across the county were closed and fans waited hours to catch a glimpse of the riders.
"Because we're on a Friday, it's easier for a nice, long weekend," local organizing committee co-chair Lucy Kay said. "We hope to hold people all day long, and see more business in retail and restaurants because people don't feel like they have to be out on the street for three hours to wait for their space."
At 10:50 a.m. after a morning of festivities - spectators are advised to get to Breckenridge by 9 a.m. Friday - the 126 riders representing 16 teams will take off south from Breckenridge over Hoosier Pass headed toward the finish in Colorado Springs.
After they're gone, events will continue through the day in Breck with a Cycling in The Rocky Mountains chalk art contest between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., and a mountain bike stunt show.
The race will be presented on a Jumbotron on the Riverwalk Center lawn, where cycling enthusiasts will reconvene to watch the stage finish.
A free concert by jazz artist Maceo Parker will follow.
The festivities are a bit more drawn out this year than last, beginning Thursday night with the Telluride Mountain Film Festival and Breckenridge Cruisers ride and continuing through the weekend with race viewing on the Jumbotron through Sunday.
"What we as the local organizing committee have worked towards is getting the lodging community and business community involved and saying, 'Let's plan stuff for two to three days so we can get them here on Thursday night and Friday night,'" Dykstra-DiLallo said. "It feels to me like the excitement is really building in the community."
The planning and organizing has been less complex this year, local officials say as both race and local organizers get into a rhythm of putting on the event.
"That's really helped us raise the bar," Dykstra-DiLallo said.

Advancing Cancer Research
Seeking Patient-Centered Solutions to Fight Cancers
10.24.13 | By John Castellani
How can we continue to advance cancer research and improve patient outcomes in an era of cost containment? The issue was recently highlighted in a New York Magazine article that only provided part of the story on cancer progress and cost containment. Last week I had the opportunity to tackle this question as part of a roundtable that convened leaders from across the cancer community.
The Roundtable discussion, convened by the Turning the Tide Against Cancer Initiative, offered more thoughtful, patient-centered solutions. The forum brought together patients, physicians, payers, academic medical centers, health economists, and pharmaceutical and diagnostic innovators. While we didn't agree on everything, several central themes emerged that I hope will spur continued dialogue.
The first was, simply, the importance of sustaining progress against cancer. Recent treatment advances have significantly contributed to increases in patient life expectancy and we can make continued gains in the future. Biopharmaceutical research companies have nearly 1,000 medicines in development for cancer, including many personalized therapies targeted to specific patient groups. Advances like these can be a solution not only for patients with unmet needs, but for the cost challenges we face. As one health insurance executive stated in last year's Turning the Tide report we can transform cancer care in the years ahead the same way we've transformed treatment of HIV/AIDS.
Another theme was the importance of fostering a cancer care ecosystem grounded in good evidence and incentives for better outcomes. And, as highlighted in a recent American Cancer Society blog, cancer care also needs to foster personalized medicine and maintain a patient-centered focus.
Finally, accelerating progress against cancer will require partnership and collaboration across the cancer community. PhRMA remains committed to continuing and building on this conversation and working cooperatively to ensure future progress in oncology treatment and care.

There is an intimate and complex relationship between inflammation and cancer; and it is well established that tumors secrete many different chemicals that attract host cells which drive inflammation and help to support tumor growth. Now, a new study published by Cell Press in the June issue of the journal Cancer Cell identifies a single protein that is required for trafficking of immune cells involved in inflammation. The research opens up new avenues for therapeutics that can indirectly suppress malignancy by disrupting the inflammatory response.

Location: Foreign Disease-Weed Science
Project Number: 8044-22000-041-12
Start Date: Sep 01, 2013
End Date: Jul 31, 2014
US wheat germplasm is currently being tested for wheat blast resistance in BSL-3 greenhouses and growth chambers at the USDA/ARS Foreign Disease-Weed Science Research Unit, at Fort Detrick, MD and at the Biosecurity Research Institute at Kansas State University. Germplasm showing less than 10 percent infection from these replicated inoculations will be sent to ANAPO for field evaluation. Winter wheat entries will be sent to Bolivia for 8 weeks of artificial vernilization, then transplanted to the field using a replicated, randomized hill-plot design. Winter wheat requires 14 to 16 hours of supplemental light to induce tillering and heading. Spring-habit wheat will be sent for planting without vernilazation. Results obtained from both greenhouse and field evaluation will be passed back to U.S. breeders for evaluation and development of new germplasm. Testing of potential new sources of resistance will be evaluated in both the greenhouse and through field screenings. New isolates of M. oryzae collected from wheat and wild grass sources in Bolivia will be used in the development and confirmation of new molecular diagnostics and detection methods.

The total paid circulation of our periodicals exceeds 850,000, and our Web site, Kiplinger.com, receives nearly 1.2 million unique visits per month.

Started in 1920 by a former AP economics reporter, Kiplinger Washington Editors, Inc., is a closely held company managed for more than eight decades by three generations of the Kiplinger family--founder W. M. Kiplinger (1891-1967), who served as editor in chief of all publications; his son Austin H. Kiplinger (b. 1918), today editor emeritus and non-executive board chair; and Austin's sons Todd L. Kiplinger (1945-2008), vice chair and vice president for investments, and Knight A. Kiplinger (b. 1948), editor in chief and president. [1]
In 2001 Kiplinger received one of the three American Business Ethics Awards given nationally that year by the Society of Financial Service Professionals. [2] In 2007 and 2008 it was named "one of America's most ethical companies" by Ethisphere magazine. Judges in both competitions cited Kiplinger's long tradition of progressive employee relations, profit sharing, and business practices. [3] In 2010, the Society of American Business Editors and Writers (SABEW) named Kiplinger's Personal Finance the winner of its 2009 General Excellence Award for giant magazines (circulation of 500,000 and higher).
Unusual among modern media companies, the Kiplinger organization is run by its editorial leadership--senior executives whose careers are rooted in journalism, rather than the business side of publishing (such as advertising and circulation sales). Like the founder, both Austin and Knight Kiplinger had extensive experience in daily journalism (newspapers and broadcast news, respectively) before joining the Kiplinger organization, and they have continued to report, write and edit.
Unlike most other publishers, Kiplinger answers the queries of its readers as a regular feature of their subscriptions, filling requests for additional information on any subject its publications covers, by phone, mail or email.
Like most large-circulation magazine publishers, Kiplinger has been experiencing a shift of advertiser support from its printed publications to its Web site, which has grown significantly in traffic and ad impressions in recent years. [4] Kiplinger.com was honored in 2007, '08, and '09 as a finalist or winner in several competitions (MIN 's Best of the Web, EPpy and Webby Awards) for content and design. [5]
Business Publications
The Kiplinger Letter
With a paid circulation, in print and online combined, of 135,000 (June 2010), The Kiplinger Letter is considered the most widely read business forecasting periodical in the world.
Its subscribers include people in the management of for-profit and non-profit enterprises, both large and small--businesses, government agencies, universities and schools, trade associations, unions, etc. In four pages of text each week, the Letter tries to alert its clients to what is likely to happen in business and the economy, legislation and regulation in Washington and the states, demographics, technology, world affairs, politics and investing. The Letter is nonpartisan and does not advocate for or against any particular outcome or point of view. [6]
Launched in 1923, The Kiplinger Letter pioneered a terse, colloquial writing style in which the key points of each topic are underscored for easy scanning. In a technique W. M. Kiplinger devised and dubbed "sweep-line," each line of copy--the full width of the page--ends in hard punctuation (a period or comma) at the right margin, not breaking awkwardly to wrap around to the next line.
The Kiplinger Letter rose to prominence, and experienced strong circulation growth, during the Great Depression, when W. M. Kiplinger and his staff had very good contacts within FDR's "brain trust," enabling the Letter to give its readers very accurate early warning of key programs in the New Deal that would transform the American economy. [8]
None of the various Kiplinger letters quotes or cites its sources, both to save space and to encourage sources to speak candidly without the risk of being identified in print. However, in longer versions of similar stories written for Kiplinger.com, sources may be identified and quoted, if they wish.
Like all business forecasters, The Kiplinger Letter has a mixed record of hits and misses over eight decades. Its longevity as a widely read publication--and its high annual renewal rate (85+% after three years)--suggest a strong track record of accuracy. Longtime readers in management apparently find it to be useful in their business planning and generally on-target with key trends—business cycles, interest rates and inflation, government policies, commodity prices, etc.
The Letter tends to be skeptical of euphoric investment booms, such as the dot.com and high-tech surge that sent the stock market to record highs in the late '90s, before a brutal plunge into bear market territory. On March 10, 2000--just a few days after the Nasdaq set a new record above 5,000--the Letter declared, "Today's market in tech stocks is a dangerous speculative bubble, as foolish as any in history." It urged taking some gains and rebalancing into blue chip stocks. Conversely, the Letter has often rebutted the deep public pessimism that is prevalent during recessions and bear markets, urging business managers and investors to place their bets on the likelihood of a strong recovery. Such advice--offered during U.S. recessions in 1982, 1991 and 2002--was later validated by robust economic growth and rising equity markets.
While not primarily a political analysis newsletter, The Kiplinger Letter has correctly predicted the outcome of every presidential election since 1924—including exceptionally close races in 1960, 1976 and 2000--with the notable exception of the 1948 contest between incumbent Harry S Truman and GOP challenger Thomas Dewey.
Kiplinger said Dewey would win easily and get reelected in 1952. The Kiplinger Magazine created a special issue—mailed to subscribers before election day—titled "What Dewey Will Do." The fact that Kiplinger had plenty of company in its faulty prediction was no consolation to editor in chief W. M. Kiplinger, who apologized to his subscribers and criticized himself for failing to keep on reporting right down to the wire.
Kiplinger.com Your Business Channel
The forecasting and management channel of Kiplinger.com is Your Business. It contains long-form versions of forecasts from The Kiplinger Letter and other Kiplinger business periodicals, summaries of current economic forecasts, a political blog (Washington Matters), and the Kiplinger Economic Recovery Index, an ongoing analysis of six key economic indicators that reflect the real pace of recovery.
The Kiplinger Tax Letter
With 89,000 biweekly subscribers, The Tax Letter is the most widely read tax advisory newsletter, with readers at law and accounting firms, corporate CFO and general counsel offices, and the homes of high-net-worth individuals. In four pages each issue, covering both business and personal taxation, the Letter tries to advise its readers on coming changes in tax law and regulations, recent rulings and interpretations by the IRS, Tax Court and states, and strategies for minimizing taxes. It was launched in 1925.
The Kiplinger Agriculture Letter
The "Ag Letter" serves farm producers, equipment and seed manufacturers, rural bankers and suppliers, food processors and others interested in American agriculture. The Letter covers trends in production, prices, world trade, marketing, technology, and energy. It was started in 1929.
Kiplinger Audio Conferences
These dial-in, real-time telephone seminars explore subjects of broad interest to people in management--the economic outlook, human resources (hiring and motivating workers, controlling health care costs, etc.), tapping global markets, emergency preparedness (avian flu), etc. They are typically conducted by leading experts in each field, and are available from Kiplinger on audio CDs after the conference.
Personal Finance Content
Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine
The monthly Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine advises its readers on managing their money, covering investing, retirement planning, taxes, insurance, real estate, buying and leasing a car, health care, travel and financing college. It has a paid monthly circulation of 800,000 copies per month (verified by the Audit Bureau of Circulation), sold mostly by subscription but also on newsstands.
Founded in 1947 as Kiplinger Magazine (subtitled "The Changing Times"), it was the first magazine to offer money management advice to the American people. Kiplinger Magazine changed its name to Changing Times (subtitled: "The Kiplinger Magazine") in 1949, and it was known by that name until 1991, when it renamed itself Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine. [9] For 33 years after its founding, it existed entirely on subscription and single-copy revenue, but in 1980 it began carrying advertising within its pages.
Editorially, Kiplinger's magazine has championed over the decades a number of personal finance strategies and investment products that later became popular "conventional wisdom": the superiority of systematic investing (dollar cost averaging) over market timing; growth stocks that paid little or no dividends but invested in new technologies; mutual funds, especially no-load funds; stock index funds; term life insurance, rather than whole-life; and global investing.
Kiplinger's Retirement Report
This 80,000 circulation monthly periodical, begun in 1993, covers all the key concerns of affluent older Americans--investing, estate planning, health, long-term care, leisure and travel, housing.
Special Issues and Products
Kiplinger publishes an array of single-topic newsstand issues and special products, including a mutual fund annual; Success with Your Money, the Retirement Planning Guide, and the Family Records Organizer. It also produces DVD guides to such subjects as long-term care insurance, college financing and annuities. In partnership with The History Channel, Kiplinger produced a series of brief features, "Money Milestones," highlighting important innovations in financial services. For nearly two decades, Kiplinger tax advice was included in the best-selling income-tax-preparation software sold in America.
Kiplinger also offers personal finance and investing advice in a series of a dozen books, including Practical Guide to Your Money, Buying and Selling a Home, Guide to Investing Success, Money Smart Women, Raising Money Smart Kids, Financing College and Retire Worry-Free; all are published by Kaplan Publishing.
The Custom Publishing Division creates house-branded newsletters and pamphlets for a variety of enterprises, including banks, associations, and military organizations.

If you experience any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to cancer. Most of these symptoms may be caused by other, less serious health conditions. If you experience any one of them, see your physician.
Kidney cancer often begins with no symptoms and no pain. Often, cases are detected during an imaging test, such as a
CT scan, for an unrelated condition.
As the disease progresses, the following symptoms may occur:
Blood in the urine
—The blood may be visible to the eye or detected during a routine lab test.
Lump in the abdomen
—This may be a sign of the growing tumor.
Pain in the side, back, or abdomen
—This may be a symptom if the pain is not a result of an injury.
The following symptoms may also occur, but are less common:
Increased blood pressure
—Kidneys play a role in blood pressure control, so disease in the kidneys can affect blood pressure.
Weight loss
—This includes unplanned and substantial loss of weight.
—This may include an increased temperature for no apparent reason that may come and go.
Swelling in the legs
—Fluid builds up in the tissue due to the cancerous mass restricting blood flow.
Kidney cancer may also cause a wide variety of other symptoms.

Thank you to SonnySavage and hybear, your solutions proved most useful and I have those formats working on the player. So glad I don't need to run a LAN cable to my Xbox 360 downstairs, when the Sony plays all my media from the server where I download to. When I have more time, I will pursue Tools902's post regarding AVI's. Also thanks to chocolateboy for the log tweaking info.
I'm using software M 12 R 0430 on the Sony, and PS3MS 1.71.0. My 720p TV shows still stream effortlessly over wireless G.
Terrific work!

VAIL - Comedy is out and food is in based on the latest Vail Commission on Special Events discussion regarding a potential Memorial Day weekend event in Vail.The events board has been talking about bringing an event to Vail that would attract Front Range guests during a typically slow weekend. The board worked with marketing consultant Adam Sutner to identify what kind of event interests consumers most, and more importantly, what kind of event they would travel to Vail to attend.And even though Vail already offers culinary events - namely the Taste of Vail in April and Gourmet on Gore during the Labor Day weekend - the focus groups used in the research prove consumers are hungry for more."There was an overwhelming response to create a participatory culinary event," said events board member Jenn Bruno. Sutner said the comedy idea did solicit positive responses and the events board will likely pursue bringing a comedy event to town during another time, perhaps in January of 2014 during the soft period after New Year's Day. For now, though, the focus is on a Memorial Day weekend food event that engages visitors, he said.The board is working with Highline Sports and Entertainment, which produces Gourmet on Gore and Oktoberfest, among other events, to produce the event. Details are scheduled to be presented to the town council at its Feb. 5 meeting for final approval. Sutner said the event might include celebrity chefs and specialty dinners featuring those chefs in collaboration with local chefs. The chefs would be accessible and the events throughout the food weekend would be engaging, he said, and the key part of its success is that it's weather-neutral.A big reason that Memorial Day weekend in the valley is generally slow is because the weather is hit or miss. Because of the inconsistency in the weather - which ranges from summer-like to winter-like - the town has struggled to attract the right event to town that isn't weather-dependent."We think we can attract the Front Range families and couples and singles for something that really isn't offered," Bruno said.Bruno said the board thinks the event would complement the Beaver Creek Blues, Brews & BBQ Festival, which takes place Memorial Day weekend and does have a loyal following. The town of Vail isn't trying to compete with that event, she said. "In a lot of ways we feel like we're adding to what Beaver Creek has over there," she said. "Participate in a Vail culinary event and then head over (to Beaver Creek) for the BBQ festival."The Vail food event is expected to feature everything from classes to tastings to pairing dinners and mixology events.Events board member Rayla Kundolf said the board is being very careful to set the event up for success. That's why members have taken their time to get it right, she said."It's very important that we don't set it up to fail," Kundolf said. Vail already has a culinary scene, Sutner said. The quality of the restaurants in town is something Vail consumers have come to enjoy and expect. While it's no Las Vegas or Napa Valley just yet, Sutner said Vail's size and restaurant culture is a strong driver in why people consider coming here.The research, conducted by Sutner, took insights from roughly a dozen people and then tested those responses in an email survey to about 4,000 people who have previously attended Vail food events. "We were astonished to see the enthusiasm of the participants both young and old," Sutner said. "This (reaction) is probably what accounts the success of things like the Food Network and celebrity chefs."Assistant Managing Editor Lauren Glendenning can be reached at 970-748-2983 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Charanga de La 4, the Roberto Torres produced dance band out of Miami, has a new release called Interpreta A Matamoros (TL-15735.10). Hannibal is doing good work. As a follow up to Jesus Alemañy's Cubanisimo, they have put out Alfredo Rodriguez' Cuba Linda (TL-15643.10) with Tata Güines, Carlos Del Puerto and, yes, Jesus Alemañy.
Qbadisc has added a third to their now classic Cuban Gold series. Cuban Gold 3: The 60s; El Mambo Me Priva! (TL-15847.10) has got super cool grooves by Tito Gomez, Neno Gonzalez, Pio Leyva, Abelardo Barroso and many other folks.
My favorite New York salsero, José Alberto "El Canario," has put out a long awaited new release. Back To The Mambo: Tribute To Machito (TL-15845.10). Don't expect a vintage sound to this record. This is done in El Canario's pure Cachimbo salsa style. Mr. Alberto continues to impress me with his rich mixture of sonerisimo (I think I made that word up) and contemporary feel.
Another gentleman who defies the thin romantic style and continues working in the salsa-gorda style is trumpeter Joe King. His new release, Quedate, (TL-15639.10) kicks. While I'm at it, listen to the gem Me Llamo Son, No Me Llamen Salsa (15697.10) by Super Son Banda, with Cuban vocalist Israel Kantor.
Sounds of The Street (TL-15679.10) consists of spoken-word poems done by Piri Thomas with an Afro-Cuban rhythm section backdrop. It features Patato Valdez on congas.
My release of the month goes to Las Estrellas Caiman with their smoking Descarga Del Milenio (15718.10). This is led by veteran Alfredo Valdez Jr. with Ray Barretto, Andy Gonzalez, Jimmy Bosch, Chocolate Armenteros, Eddy Zervigon, José Fajardo and many other musical giants. Get it.
Nuyorican Soul (TL-15745.10) is a new release that, although it isn't purely Latin in feel in all selections, is definitely worth getting, nonetheless especially if you're a fan of soul. Some folks involved in this release are India, Tito Puente, and Hilton Ruiz.
Mr. Tito Puente has celebrated his long career with an impressive 3-CD release entitled 50 Years of Swing (TL-15751.10). Much of his best work is represented here with the addition of some previously unreleased material. It's smartly designed, too.
Some Latin jazz releases just released are from Hilton Ruiz: Island Eyes (TL-15661.10), Juan Pablo Torres: Pepper Trombone (TL-15738.10), and Giovanni Hidalgo: Hands of Rhythm (TL-15642.10) which is a collaborative effort with Michel Camilo.
From Cuba we have a new Panchito Alonso called Una Salsa En Paris (TL-15722.10), NG La Banda's En Directo Desde El Patio De Mi Casa (TL-15644.10) a live party atmosphere salsa recording, Issac Delgado's new release Otra Idea (TL-15641.10), and veteran Cuban pianist Frank Emilio Flynn's Barbarisimo (TL-15681.10).
There is a terrific new 2-CD set of Ernesto Lecuona material, with Mr. Lecuona himself on piano, called Lecuona The Ultimate Collection (TL-15690.10). There have been quite a few very good recent releases of Lecuona interpreters but if you want to hear the man himself, with 60 songs (10 never before released) this is the collection for you.
Los Terry, also from Cuba, have released From Africa To Camaguey (TL-15676.10). This is a very well done recording combining elements of folklore, charanga and jazz. I like it a lot.
It has been quite some time since Los Papines have come out with a new release. 33 Aniversario: Encuentro De Tambores (TL-15727.10) is a folkloric guaguancó CD recorded live in Puerto Rico in 1996. Atabal from PR make a special appearance on this release. [See the photo on the back cover of this newsletter this great shot of Los Papines came from the liner notes of this release.]
A few other folklore releases of note should be checked out. The first, a Lucumí release, is Orlando Puntilla Rios' Spirit Rhythms: Sacred Drumming and Chants From Cuba (TL-15675.10). The second is a celebration of Puerto Rico's tradition of plena and bomba. Los Plenero de la 21 with El Quinteto Criollo have released Puerto Rico Tropical (TL-15768.10).
Speaking of PR, Plena Pa' Ti (TL-15700.10) is the new release by the acclaimed dance band Plena Libre. They incorporate the plena with modern arrangements and are one of the island's gems.
We've got a large bunch of worthy reissues from the '60s and '70s too many to talk about here. But here are a few: Fuego '77 (TL-15653.10) is an infectious salsa number. Some classics from El Maestro, Johnny Pacheco, are Sabor Tipico (TL-15743.10) and Te Invita A Bailar (TL-15725.10). They are from 1972 and 1967 respectively. Orestes Vilato's band, Los Kimbos put out The Big Kimbos with Adalberto Santiago (TL-15652.10). Tito Rodriguez' 1978 release Uptempo (TL-14388.10) is out on CD as is Yomo Toro's '82 Musica Para El Mundo Entero (TL-15723.10).
Anything Frankie Dante does is worth getting. This 1979 release is called Los Rebeldes (TL-15726.10). Gusto (TL-15724.10) was the title of this 1980 Jimmy Sabater release. Jimmy Urbina y Su Orquesta Revolucion 70 had a 1975 record called Sabor Moderno (TL-15719.10). Finally Ismael Rivera Con Kako's Lo Ultimo En La Avenida (TL-15776.10) from 1971 is now on CD.
A few videos of note are Juan Luis Guerra Y 4:40's Grandes Exitos En Video (TL-15788.30). In my opinion, Guerra's could be the finest merengue band working today. He combines diverse influences and interesting lyrics and continues to be highly danceable.
The Best of Latin Jazz (TL-15841.30) is a new video release that features the Tropijazz stable: Tito Puente, Hilton Ruiz, Eddie Palmieri, Giovanni Hidalgo, India, and Charlie Sepulveda. This is an important release in that there are so few videos featuring Latin jazz at all. Perhaps this will clear the way for more future releases.

28 years in Happy Valley, 28 ski seasons, and not a single time have I dropped anything off a chairlift other than the occasional immature act of kicking skis together to surprise unsuspecting dweebs below with a quick blanket of flakes.
My wife, on the other hand, is another story.
During a recent "girls ski day," a group of ladies was playfully enjoying a powder day in the back bowls, carving through the trees and yelling whatever it is that girls shout out when having an exceptional day in the pow pow.
Upon loading Chair 17, my bride does what she normally does whenever she has at least 30 seconds of down time - she pulls out her phone. No particular reason, it's just that someone might have called, or sent a message, or updated Facebook, etc.
You know, important stuff.
Anyway, as soon as they passed Tower 1 she whipped it out, only this time her wallet (a pink metal thingy for credit and business cards) attached itself to her gloved-fingers long enough to make it out of the pocket as well, allowing gravity to do its job of pulling it straight down into at least a foot of fresh snow.
By the time they skied back down, the fluffy powder had already been pushed around enough to eliminate any chance of finding it quickly, so a group decision was made to continue enjoying the day and deal with it later.
Which meant it was now my problem, of course.
We had to wait four flippin' days before it was warm and sunny enough to give it a shot (last Tuesday), as I refused to be miserably wet and cold while digging below in wet snow and listening to sarcastic digs from the those riding the chair directly above.
With a shovel provided by Ski Patrol and a snarky "Good luck!" from those in red, we skied down through the crusty powder to begin the process.
Forty-five minutes of solid digging was highlighted by a constant stream of comments overhead.
"What're you digging for?"
"Did you lose something?"
"Who you burying?"
"Ha-ha! Drop your phone?... Loser!"
Resisting the urge to respond in kind, I simply yelled "HER wallet!" repeatedly without wasting the energy to look up (or give them the benefit of thinking I could hear).
Completing a very symmetrical and methodical 5 by 15 by 3-foot trench in about an hour, my cross-hatch technique of shoveling suddenly welcomed me with a metallic ding! Lo and behold, about 18 inches deep, I actually found the silly thing.
Who'd a thunk? Certainly not me.
With proper thanks to T.P. and J.P. up at HQ of P, we rewarded ourselves with lunch at the 10th, followed by drinks and dessert at my single favorite place in all of Vail to hang out in the beautiful Rocky Mountain sunshine - Pepi's deck.
Sheika's hospitality and graciousness as a host was as unmatched as ever, and it was there I promised my lovely wife that I would not write a word about it, but only if she promised to leave her phone in her jacket for the rest of the afternoon.
Ahem ... I rest my case.

About the Book
In Brain Wars, acclaimed neuroscientist Mario Beauregard reveals compelling new evidence set to provoke a major shift in our understanding of the mind-body debate: research showing that the mind and consciousness are transmitted and filtered through the brain—but are not generated by it.
Following his boundary-breaking neuroscience book The Spiritual Brain: A Neuroscientist's Case for the Existence of the Soul, coauthored with Denyse O'Leary, Brain Wars makes a powerful and provocative case against the widely held view equating human beings to complex biological computers.
Like Jeffrey M. Schwartz, Beauregard believes that consciousness is more than simply a physical process that takes place in the brain. And here, he presents the evidence to prove it. Brain Wars will revolutionize the way we think about thinking forever.
The brain can be weighed, measured, scanned, dissected, and studied. The mind that we conceive to be generated by the brain, however, remains a mystery. It has no mass, no volume, and no shape, and it cannot be measured in space and time. Yet it is as real as neurons, neurotransmitters, and synaptic junctions. It is also very powerful.
—from Brain Wars
Is the brain "a computer made of meat," and human consciousness a simple product of electrical impulses? The idea that matter is all that exists has dominated science since the late nineteenth century and led to the long-standing scientific and popular understanding of the brain as simply a collection of neurons and neural activity. But for acclaimed neuroscientist Mario Beauregard, Ph.D., along with a rising number of colleagues and others, this materialist-based view clashes with what we feel and experience every day.
In Brain Wars, Dr. Beauregard delivers a paradigm-shifting examination of the role of the brain and mind. Filled with engaging, surprising, and cutting-edge scientific accounts, this eye-opening book makes the increasingly indisputable case that our immaterial minds influence what happens in our brains, our bodies, and even beyond our bodies. Examining the hard science behind "unexplained" phenomena such as the placebo effect, self-healing, brain control, meditation, hypnosis, and near-death and mystical experiences, Dr. Beauregard reveals the mind's capabilities and explores new answers to age-old mind-body questions.
Radically shifting our comprehension of the role of consciousness in the universe, Brain Wars forces us to consider the immense untapped power of the mind and explore the profound social, moral, and spiritual implications that this new understanding holds for our future.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Brain Wars explains why the prevailing brain-mind paradigm is falling apart and why we are increasingly being forced to reconsider the nature of consciousness. The consequences of this paradigm shift are profound, and Mario Beauregard does a magnificent job in explaining why." — Dean Radin PhDCo-Editor-in-Chief, Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing Senior Scientist Institute of Noetic Sciences
"Mario Beauregard shows convincingly that the materialistic philosophy of the 19th century is an impoverished framework incompatible with contemporary science, from physics to psychology. The concepts he develops in Brain Wars are required reading for scientific literacy in today's world." — Bruce Greyson, M.D. Research psychiatrist, University of Virginia. Co-author of Irreducible Mind
"In this ground-breaking work, neuroscientist Mario Beauregard cites a range of scientific studies challenging many widely held materialistic assumptions about the relation between the mind and brain." — B. Alan Wallace, Ph.D.President, Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies
"The assumption that the brain makes consciousness, like the liver makes bile, and that human consciousness is confined to the brain and body, will not endure because it is unscientific, and cannot account for how consciousness manifests in the world. In this important book, Dr. Mario Beauregard shows why." — Larry Dossey, MDAuthor of Reinventing Medicine and The Power of Premonitions
"Dr. Beauregard describes that our mind/consciousness has a fundamental and irreducible nature, and that it sometimes can be experienced independently from the body because it is not limited to our brain. Brain Wars clearly announces the end of physicalism, reductionism, materialism and objectivism in science." — Pim van Lommel, cardiologist, author of Consciousness beyond Life
Provocative and accessible, this book is ultimately less about hard science and more about the mind-body problem and philosophy of materialistic science. — Library Journal

"We send photo Christmas cards to close family and friends. I am a mom with two daughters and have done a variety of themes. This year is perfect! We vacationed in Costa Rica and have amazing photos to share. The Feliz Navidad card is perfect. It's not Halloween yet and I'm ready to send them out. Thank you for your wide selection and beautiful designs! It is worth the extra price to me over what Costco or CVS have to offer."
"the quality and the vintage look of these cards were beautiful! I received many compliments on how pretty our cards were this year :-)"
"Love the options of choosing color. Paper quality and picture quality is excellent. Looking forward to doing this again next year already!"
"I used this card to inform family members about a boy I sponsor in Honduras to ask for donations in his name this holiday season. Thus, the "Feliz Navidad" was very appropriate...I simply added his name beneath this (instead of a family name like the example provided), and a quote in print beneath his name."

The berries pictured here speak for themselves. Both delicious and beautiful, "super food" berries are little dynamos of nutrients whose intense blue, purple and red hues serve as visual indicators of the powerful antioxidant compounds they contain. Science aside, there are emotional ties to enjoying berries, too, as many of us, including me, recall berry-picking excursions when more berries were eaten in the wild than were actually taken home. Sometimes outings provided enough berries for making a pie or cobbler, but mostly we ate fresh-picked berries out of hand, or as toppings for tarts, similar to the delicious pastry cream tart featured here. Today, I buy more berries than I pick, and when they are in season and prices are good, I buy a lot. Keeping berries from spoiling can be a problem, however, so this tip shared by Sun City resident, Caroline Kennedy, whose mouth-watering recipe for "Peach-Blackberry Cobbler" follows, is particularly valuable: "Wash berries in a bowl with 3 cups of cold water mixed with a cup of white vinegar. Drain in colander and rinse un der cold running water. Place berries in a salad spinner lined with three layers of paper towels. Sp1in for 15 seconds, or until the berries are completely dry. Alternatively, lay berries on a terry cloth towel and cover with another towel until dry. Store berries in a paper towel-lined sealable container, keeping lid slightly open to allow excess moisture to escape. Raspberries last a week, or more. Strawberries, a lmost two weeks." If you decide to freeze your berries after they are rinsed and dried, chill them thoroughly in the refrigerator before freezing. Not only does chilling the berries hinder freezer burn, but also the berries will freeze faster, which helps to minimize damage to the cell structure of the fruit.

Thirty-two states cover autism under insurance plans and Georgia is working to become number 23. (WRDW-TV)
News 12 First at Five / Monday, Feb. 25, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Patrica Hamilton and her son, Lucas, don't have a normal life.
"I cry a lot for him," Hamilton said.
She cries because of the struggle her son goes through every day.
He has autism, but a bigger concern is the lack of insurance covering her son.
"The insurance company -- after giving him therapy for a year -- denied all of his therapies, they said he didn't qualify for them," Hamilton said.
Therapies that help her son live a more normal life. But insurance companies in Georgia aren't required to cover autism under their plans.
That leaves Hamilton and her family with the bill.
"We cannot afford to pay for these therapies, for different therapists, a week out of our pocket," Hamilton said.
Autism bills without insurance coverage run from $30,000 to $50,000 a year.
Local state Rep. Ben Harbin of Evans, Ga., says getting them the help they need is why he is fighting for this.
"If you can get to these children early, early intervention, you can get them the right types of treatments and therapies, they can lead a more normal life," Harbin said.
He was in Atlanta on Monday with local community members and others from across Georgia, pushing for legislature to pass this bill.
"It's gonna be about 32 cents per month increase in premiums," he said.
That amount would allow close to 30,000 children with autism to get the coverage they need.
Thirty-two states cover autism under insurance plans and Georgia is working to become number 23.
"This is about helping the entire state of Georgia, all the children who are diagnosed with autism in this state, helping them get that better quality of life," Harbin said.
A better quality of life that early intervention would give to these children.
Hamilton says she just wants to get her son better.
"We saw a lot of progress through his therapies, but then when they stopped, we started seeing him regress," she said.
But she isn't giving up at all.
"I'm still gonna keep this fight up," Hamilton said.
She says if the bill does pass, she will have something to say to the insurance companies.
"I will be calling them and saying, you know what, I want my therapist back, and you know what, you have to do it," Hamilton said.
