THE UPDATE

Who says Vail Valley kids can’t ski big mountain?

At yesterday’s Subaru U.S. Extreme Freeskiing Championships in Crested Butte, the kids from Ski Club Vail pretty

much cleaned the place up. Big mountain, also known as extreme

freeskiing, is a judged competition that combines all the facets of skiing techni-cal, gnarly lines, forcing riders to con-tend with several different types of snow conditions and natural terrain features. Competitors are judged on fluidity, style

and air. The Subaru Tour represents the competitive venue in the sport.

Taking on athletes from Alaska, Alta, Squaw, Breck, Vermont, Jackson Hole and Telluride, the Vail Valley skiers took five of the top seven spots in the 12-14 age group. Eagle’s Mitch Gilman, 13, led the charge, winning the event.

Just shy of the podium and competing in his very first big mountain competi-tion, Aidan Stege took fourth, followed by Erik Hilb, fifth, Cal Deline, sixth, and Jack Nichols, seventh.

In the 15-17 age group, Lizzie Siebert, Ski Club Vail’s sole female big mountain

Julia Mancuso charted a courageous line through Thursday afternoon’s sla-lom run to earn her second silver in two events and tie Bode Miller for the most Olympic medals ever by a U.S. skier at three.

“When I realized that I got another medal, it’s that moment that you wait for as an athlete,” Mancuso said. “It’s the moment that you realize that I’ve been working so hard for this moment, and to know that really, anything’s pos-sible. I didn’t expect that from myself, I just believed and went for it.”

Germany’s Maria Riesch won su-per combined’s top honor after down-hill gold medalist and first-run leader Lindsey Vonn of Vail hooked her tip around a gate and crashed late in her slalom run.

Mancuso, who also won downhill silver Wednesday and giant slalom gold in Torino, now ranks tied for sixth all time among U.S. women in Winter Olympic medals - still just 25 years old. Yet her age and recent performances belie two years of struggles on the World Cup circuit because of a back injury and changes in equipment regulations that

2 Vail Mountaineer Friday, February 19, 2010

A pair of local entrepreneurs hopes to ride the rails to $650 million in federal stimulus money.

Ross Graves and Vince Cook are proposing a massive workforce housing project, 2,200 units spread among seven locations up and down the valley. It would be built around a light rail system stretching from Dotsero to Minturn. The vision is for the rail line to eventually stretch through Red Cliff to Leadville.

They’re calling it the Greenport Rail and Workforce Housing Initiative. The lofty goal is $650 million in federal stimulus money to make it all a reality.

The feds just rejected the county’s request for one-tenth that amount, $65 million, to fund a new I-70 in-terchange near the Eagle County Regional Airport.

Graves is no stranger to grand-scale developments. Locally, he helped put together Miller Ranch, Chatfield Corners and Cotton Ranch.

Cook comes from the aerospace and defense indus-tries as the former president of IBM Federal Systems. He received the NASA Public Service Medal for help-ing develop the space shuttle.

They’ve been reluctant to talk about the project, but their proposal envisions 2,200 workforce housing units spread among seven workforce villages up and down the valley. They would be connected by 65 miles of commuter rail through 11 stations, five at first and six phased in.

The commuter rail line would be integrated with a bus system.

Tracks slightly off trackThey’re looking for a public/private partnership, with

the towns and county kicking in around $100,000 total,

said Eagle County Commissioner Jon Stavney.So far, no one is writing checks.“It’s interesting enough, building workforce housing

along these rail portals,” Stavney said. “But no one is handing over money because there’s nothing solid.”

Like everything, it’s a numbers game, Stavney said, and Eagle County doesn’t have enough humans.

Eagle County is home to an estimated 50,000 souls, and about 25 percent of us live in the Roaring Fork Valley.

“That’s a couple transit stops in a major metropoli-tan area,” Stavney said. “For a fraction of the cost, we could have a gold plated bus system that services every person in the valley.”

A similar project in Chicago was partially funded with federal stimulus money, but Eagle County is no longer home to a sitting president. A shovel ready rail project near St. Louis, Missouri, also got the nod.

U.P. and down the lineProponents would also have to get Union Pacific’s

blessing. They want to lease and upgrade Union Pacific tracks, the plan says.

Union Pacific officials said they have not yet heard from anyone about the Greenport proposal.

“Light rail is always a topic nowadays in commu-nities looking to expand and enhance their transit op-tions,” said Mark Davis, Union Pacific spokesman. “We work with communities to determine whether light rail is compatible alongside our lines.”

Union Pacific makes its money hauling freight, and is not inclined to sell its rail rights of way, like the one running up and down the valley. It costs them almost nothing to maintain those seldom-used lines.

As energy technology continues to improve and clean coal becomes a more viable energy source, the railroad company would be paid handsomely to haul clean coal from the West to power plants back east.

Commuter light rail lines are not a huge profit center, but Atkins did not slam the door.

“We encourage them to contact our people with any questions or inquiries,” Atkins said.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vail

ALLEGEDLY! EDITOR’S NOTE: Every day or two we take a cruise

through some local police reports so we can bring you our favorites. The general theme is two-fold: (1) Some-times we’re all this silly, and (2) this stuff is funny be-cause it’s not happening to you … this time.

It wasn’t even Gay Ski Week when the local liba-tion location sponsored the intergalactic ladies mud wrestling championships. We’ll call him Man’s Man, and not in a Rock Hudson sort of way. For reasons that remain unclear, Man’s Man wandered into the libation location looking for a little female companionship.

Let’s review the facts, as we know them so far. 1. Women’s wrestling. 2. Man’s Man wanders into a bar looking for a little female companionship. 3. The wom-en in the local libation location are not looking for any-thing like Man’s Man.

No, his odds are not good, but in the immortal words of the Great Ernie Banks, it’s better to have swung and missed than never to have swung at all.

Undeterred, Man’s Man lopes into the libation loca-tion, cranks up the radar and zeroes in on an empty barstool next to a delightful young woman, settles in and immediately uncorks a staccato string of opening lines. Among them:

• “Hey darlin’, how’d you like to go for a ride with me and my dog. I just got my truck washed.” And,

• “Hey darlin’, do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?” And,

• “Hey darlin’, there you are with all those curves and me with no brakes.”

You get the idea. Man’s Man found that women were not swooning at his every utterance. Imagine that.

The young woman’s companion, a spirited woman who we’ll call by her Native American name, Woman Needs Man Like Fish Need Bicycle, apparently did not feel like a three-way … conversation, not even on Facebook. She aggressively questioned Man’s Man’s intentions toward this delightful young woman, along with his patronage, matronage, social habits and ori-entation – and we ain’t talking a Boy Scout map and compass merit badge.

Now, we’ve been told that a guy trying to pick up women in bars is not the latest thing, although we can-

not say from any personal experience. We tend to pre-fer choir practice at the Baptist church.

Anyway, Man’s Man says Woman Bicycle grabbed him by his $200 silk shirt, tearing it. He took offense, and also took his beer in his hand and smacked Woman Bicycle right in the chest, spilling his beer on her.

It’s a sin to spill a beer in anger, so Man’s Man head-ed out the door of the local libation location, apparently to go to church, get down on his knees and beg forgive-ness from the Good Lord who divinely inspired human beings to combine hops, barley and malt as they aspire to create something more, in keeping with God’s desire to combine humans to become something more.

Which is exactly what Man’s Man insists he was try-ing to do.

Man’s Man wandered over to a Vail police officer to report the incident. The officer assured him that, like a laser, the investigation would lead to straight to the heart of the matter.

But matters of the heart can go astray.The next day, the Vail police officer called, saying

Man’s Man had been 86ed from the libation location for making threats to do damage to the libation loca-tion’s fleet of vehicles – which is a little odd because the libation location was in Vail Village and didn’t have any vehicles handy.

Man’s Man’s attorney counseled him to take a manly stance and make no statement to the police, or girls in bars, for the foreseeable future.

The epilogue to this little tale of chasing tail is that Man’s Man took the Turtle Bus home from the liba-tion location. During the ride he relayed his tail tale to another delightful young woman, who assured Man’s Man that he was, in fact, a man’s man, but not in a Rock Hudson sort way.

Man’s Man was in Denver anyway this week, so he spent $225 to talk to a sex therapist for an hour and a half.

She gave him an autographed book, and some advice about trying to actually converse with women before offering to push the dog out of the way so they can ride shotgun in his pickup truck. She also suggested that girl stuff like roses, cards, hot chocolate, herbal tea and memorizing entire passages from the movie Sleepless in Seattle.

Also, don’t talk about sex for at least three dates, she said.

The last wild placeVail Symposium presents film that made Patagonia

history tonight at Vilar

The fateful story behind the film 180° South proves that a journey taken by a few can affect the lives of many.

The film, set to be screened by the Vail Symposium tonight at the Vilar Performing Arts Center, was born roughly 10 years ago, when Jeff Johnson and his friend Chris Malloy were rooming together in Hawaii, where he tested sporting gear for Patagonia.

A friend at Patagonia snuck Johnson and Malloy an incredible video from the company vault, which chronicled a 1968 trek by Patagonia’s founder Yvon Chouinard and environmentalist Doug Tompkins from Ventura, Calif. to Patagonia in search of the last wild place on earth.

“We were blown away,” said Johnson. “Here were these two guys in their early years before Patagonia even started… and here we are 40 years later watching it and can’t believe no one even knows about it.”

Johnson said he and Malloy were excited with the film’s significance and irony, with Chouinard establish-ing Patagonia and Tomkins creating North Face and Esprit apparel - both clothing companies synonymous with environmental action.

“We were thinking this was possibly the trip that set them on their way in life,” said Johnson.

For years Johnson and Malloy, who had some surf film experience, talked about following the Chouinard and Tomkins journey in modern times.

In 2004, Johnson and Malloy pitched the idea to Pa-tagonia and the rest is 180° South history.

The film follows Johnson as he retraces the steps of the former filmmakers on a fishing boat from Califor-nia to Patagonia, where he meets up with the pair.

“As I go along on my adventure you’re getting to learn about Yvon and Doug,” said Johnson. “Then, the next thing you know, I’m meeting up with them.”

Both Chouinard and Tomkins have used their success to buy up huge tracks of land in Patagonia threatened by industry, restoring and gifting the land back to the coun-try as protected parks. Today, over 2 million acres in Pa-tagonia are protected because of their 1968 journey.

“When you had a whole life in the outdoors, you re-alize that you have a sense of responsibility to protect these wild places,” Chouinard says in the film.

Johnson, now a staff photographer for Patagonia, said his six month journey in the footsteps of the cloth-ing moguls gave him a renewed sense of hope for the environment.

“I’m really a pessimist when it comes to our environ-ment with the way world’s going,” he said. “Getting on the road and seeing that the worlds is vast … it opened me up again that there’s still a lot of cool things out there and we can save our environment and there are people working to save it.”

Screening of 180° South begins at the Vilar tonight at 7 p.m., followed by an exclusive discussion with John-son himself, who has flown from Patagonia headquar-ters in Ventura to present the film. Admission is $11. Come hungry, as special items from Colorado based health foods will be available to try.

Art for African Orphans fundraiser is tonight

Go Nigeria’s Executive Director, Rick Whittlesey, is in town to sell art and raise money to support African orphanages.

Whittlesey walked away from a lucrative career as an investment banker to launch an orphanage in one of the world’s poorest countries.

To help pay for it all, Whittlesey creates and sells abstract art to support his full-time work for orphans, widows, lepers, the lame and blind of Nigeria.

“The art really helps bridge gaps with people in this U.S. and more importantly, helps people learn about our work in Nigeria and the impact it’s having upon thousands of lives there,” Whittlesey said.

Helping many for a little Go Nigeria helps support 20 care centers around

that country. Those centers provide more than 500,000 meals annually to thousands of needy kids and adults in this West African nation of 150 million people.

Nigeria’s unemployment rate is 65 percent and most working people earn only $2 per day.

You can feed an orphan a bowl of rice for 10 cents per meal. That means a $10 gift provides 100 meals, and a $100 gift buys 1,000 meals.

“When people learn that for only $150 they can send a kid to school for an entire year, they realize that their gift really does Matter,” Whittlesey said.

More than 90 percent of all the money collected for Go Nigeria, goes to the field in Nigeria.

“There are days when I feel like I am just plain nuts to try to do this, but all the other days I feel like the luckiest man in the world to have such a cool job,” Whittlesey said. “I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

Whittlesey is a former investment executive and teacher who earned three masters degrees: history, the-ology and business.

“My art has opened lots of doors to letting people know about our work in Nigeria,” he said. “When someone buys a painting, it directly impacts the lives of our orphans because it allows me to keep working full-time their behalf.”

Turntable offers one of a kind aprons

The Turntable Restaurant in Minturn is rolling out their unique collection of aprons, just in time for St. Patrick‘s Day.

The aprons are handmade by Turntable proprietor Darla Goodell and her longtime friend Maribel.

There are many patterns to choose from, such as trimmed denim, railroad, flower and checkered print. Their most popular designs are made from polka dot and Broncos football printed fabrics.

If you’d rather not gift them, Darla and Maribel can also help you create a personalized addition to your own kitchen. Simply bring in your own fabric, or a pair of old jeans you don’t use, but can’t bear to part with.

Darla can whip up a set of four aprons personally tailored to your waist size from a single pair of jeans. Turntable aprons are available in all women’s, kids and even tiny doll sizes. Prices are $25 for ladies, $15 for children and $7.

Each personalized apron must be ordered a week in advance to allow these ladies time to craft them with care.

You may order over the phone by calling the Turn-table Restaurant at (970) 827-4164, or stop by and order one tableside.

While you’re there, try their famous slow cooked green chili, which comes highly recommended by Uncle Randy Wyrick.

The Turntable Restaurant is located at Main and Rio Grande Railroad Avenue next to the Minturn Sa-loon.

The historic décor of the restaurant is a testament to its longevity and charm, with wall to wall 50s and 60s collectibles, historic photos and uniquely Mint-urn nostalgic knick-knacks.

Two-year-old Gisely Sanchez, a Turntable Restau-rant regular, poses with a personalized apron with St. Patrick’s Day print, available for purchase to-day. The aprons are hand made by Turntable owner and her friend Maribel. Dawn Witlin photo.

8100 Bar & Grill chefs to present at James Beard House in New York City

Chefs Pascal Coudouy and Reese Hay of 8100 Mountainside Bar & Grill, lo-cated at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek, have been chosen to present a special wine dinner at the James Beard House in New York City on March 3.

8100 Mountainside Bar & Grill was recently included in Esquire magazine’s “15 Restaurants Not to Miss” in the No-vember issue which annually features the best new restaurants in America.

The mission of the James Beard Foun-dation is “to celebrate, preserve, and nurture America’s culinary heritage and diversity in order to elevate the apprecia-

tion of our culinary excellence.” Chefs are invited to “perform” at the Beard House by presenting dinners to Founda-tion members and the public.

Chefs are considered for the honor based on a variety of elements including: national or regional reputation, as evi-denced by coverage by the press; use of high quality, seasonal, and local ingredi-ents; level of interest in event by James Beard Foundation dining members and their guests and a final review of the event’s proposed menu and wine list.

“We are honored to be presenting at the James Beard House,” says Pascal

Coudouy, Executive Chef at 8100. “The James Beard Foundation is a bastion of culinary excellence in the United States. With this recognition, we feel like we’re being honored for achieving our goal of presenting only the freshest, most cre-ative cuisine in Beaver Creek.”

Opened Dec. 12, 2008, the 8100 restau-rant includes an open, airy dining space with expansive views of Beaver Creek Mountain, a 55 seat bar, an intimate wine room with chef’s table and an open kitch-en design featuring a 66-inch wood burn-ing grill.

The menu presented at the James Beard

House will highlight the local and re-gional ingredients that 8100 incorporates year-round; the wine pairings include se-lections from Colorado wineries.

“The menu at 8100 is something that we’re very proud of,” says Reese Hay, Chef de Cuisine at 8100. “By presenting at the James Beard House we’re going to be able to bring a taste of what we love about Colorado to New York.”

For tickets to attend the James Beard Foundation dinner, call the reservations line at 212.675.2308. Members tick-ets are $125; non-members tickets are $165.

ATHLETIC STUFF

Top seeds go down in Match PlayThe remaining top four seeds went down at the Ac-

centure Match Play Championship yesterday, and so did the defending champion.

An event already minus Tiger Woods and Phil Mick-elson sent several of the world’s best to an early exit.

Lee Westwood, Jim Furyk, Martin Kaymer and Rory McIlroy were among the day’s losers. Defend-ing champion Geoff Ogilvy was beaten by Colombian Camilo Villegas 2 and 1. Top-seeded Steve Stricker lost in Wednesday’s first round.

The highest remaining seed is England’s Paul Casey at No. 6. Casey, the runner-up a year ago who won the World Match Play Championship in England in 2006, swiftly dispatched Canadian Mike Weir, 5 and 4.

The field was narrowed to 16 for Thursday’s third round on the sun-drenched desert course near Tucson.

Notable matches for Friday’s round 3 are: Camilo Villegas VS Ben Crane, Sergio Garcia VS Tim Clark, 18-year-old Ryo Ishikawa VS Thong Jaidee.

Is Tiger sticking it to Accenture?Tiger Woods has not been heard

from in 78 days, if you don’t count the sound of his voice being heard repeatedly on one of his mistresses’ cell phones. Today’s speech will be much different.

At 11 a.m. EST, Woods is sched-uled to make his first public appear-ance since crashing his car into a tree outside his Florida home Nov. 27.

The big question Golf Channel is beating to death is: What will he say?

For a possible answer, many are looking to British odds-makers. One bookmaker, William Hill, has set odds at 4-to-7 that Woods wife, Elin, will be with him. He offers 8-to-1 odds that Woods will announce he is getting a divorce, 12-to-1 odds that

his wife is pregnant and 100-to-1 odds that he is retiring.

Many think Woods chose to time this during the middle of the Ac-centure Match Play Champion-ships as a way of sticking it to Ac-centure for dropping him as one of their sponsors.

Hill’s not offering any odds on that gamble.


The inaugural Street Swell Win-ter Triathlon kicks off tomorrow in Leadville. This race takes place at the Leadville’s CMC Timberline Campus starting at 10 a.m. and will consist of a 10K snow-bike, 5K snowshoe and a 8K skate-ski. This event will also be open to both indi-vidual competitors and teams.

This is the fifth and last event of the 2009/2010 Pedal Power Snow-shoe Adventure Series, now in it’s 14th season, benefits local charities in Eagle and Lake Counties. This final event will benefit The Lake County Community Parks Fund Program to develop a multi-use sports field and associated park fa-cility for Lake County residents.

This race marks the first time the

Snowshoe Series has had a second winter triathlon in the same racing season. The previous triathlon, held last month, saw the largest participa-tion of the winter for such an event and was noted by participants as be-ing one of the premier events on the state’s winter competition calendar. The snowshoe leg of the event will take place on off-piste, single track with the bike and ski portions on groomed nordic track.

Racers will meet at the CMC Timberline Campus, just south of town. This is also the first event for this particular venue and it is sug-gested that participants call Pedal Power in advance at 970 845-0931 for directions.

Title-sponsors for this year’s se-

ries are 1st Bank and Gorsuch, Ltd., Maximum Comfort Pool & Spa and Dollar Rent-a-Car. Other individual event sponsors include, Melanzana Clothing, The Tennessee Pass Nor-dic Center, Pazzo’s Pizza, Aria Spa & Club and Street Swell.

Pre-registration for this event is $35 for individuals and $25 per per-son for teams. Racers can register on the day of the race for $40 for individuals and $25 per person for teams. Participants can pre-register with forms from Pedal Power Bicy-cle Shop in Eagle-Vail or by calling 845-0931. Registration forms can also be downloaded online at pedal-powerbike.com. Participants may also register on the day of the event at the race start.

ATHLETIC STUFF

Tomorrow marks the third annual Vail Mountain Winter Uphill in honor of long-time local Lyndon Ellefson, who died tragically while mountain running in the Swiss Alps in 1998.

Ellefson was not only a member of the U.S. Moun-tain Running team, he was instrumental in founding it. He ran a number of times for the United States in the World Mountain Running Championships, and was the team leader for some of the competitions.

The run is a fundraiser for the team, and also for the Vail Valley Charitable fund.

Lyndon was one of the kindest and most beloved people in the valley. Pedal Power owner Bruce Kelly, one of Ellefson’s best friends, said yesterday “There are many world-class athletes in this valley, but Lyn-don was one of the finest.”

Many from the Vail Valley Nordic community will be out enjoying the race including Ski Club Vail coaches Dan Weiland and Karl Hotchl, as well as Lyndon’s son Sylvan, who has become one of the country’s top Nor-dic athletes in his own right.

The run begins in Lionshead at the base of the moun-tain, and takes a two-mile course uphill, gaining around 2,000 feet, and ending at Eagle’s Nest. It has three cat-egories—Open, which includes running shoes (cleats help), and snowshoes, Track Skis (any touring or cross-country type of skis), and Heavy Metal, which includes

edged skis such as telemark skis.There is a participant party afterwards, with prizes

and awards. The award categories are for equipment category, gender and age groups. The age brackets are 18 and under, 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70 and over years of age.

Registration on Saturday begins at 6 a.m. at the Chop-house Restaurant at the base of the Lionshead gondola. Registration today is still $35, and $40 on the day of the event. The race begins at 7 a.m.

The Vail Athletic Club Winter Uphill is sponsored by the Vail Athletic Club and Vail Resorts.

reach. A senior administration official said Democratic congressional leaders have nearly finished efforts to reconcile two health bills, which the House and Senate passed separately last year with practically no Repub-lican help. Obama will use their legislation to expand coverage to some 30 million and require most Ameri-cans to carry insurance as the basis for a proposal that the White House will post online by Monday, three days before the Feb. 25 summit, said the official.

Federal Reserve is raising rates

Interest rates rose for a second day in the bond mar-ket after signals the economy is strengthening pushed traders into riskier assets. Yields on Treasurys extended their gains after the Federal Reserve raised its rate on emergency loans to banks. The move had been ex-pected, but investors now anticipate that policymakers would begin to withdraw more of the supports put in place in the last three years to stabilize the economy.

Treasury prices, which move opposite to their yields, had already been falling Thursday after the Philadel-phia Federal Reserve said its index of regional manu-facturing rose to 17.6 in February from 15.2 in January. That came after two other reports this week indicated that production at U.S. factories is increasing.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note maturing in February 2020, which is a basis for rates on mortgages and other consumer loans, rose to 3.81 percent in late trading from 3.74 percent Wednesday. Its price fell 19/32 to 98 16/32.

Angry software engineer crashes plane into IRS offices, body found in building

A software engineer furious with the Internal Rev-enue Service launched a suicide attack on the agency Thursday by crashing his small plane into an office building containing nearly 200 IRS employees, set-ting off a raging fire that sent workers running for their lives. At least one person in the building was missing.

The FBI tentatively identified the pilot as Joseph A. Stack, 53. Law enforcement officials, speaking on con-dition of anonymity because the investigation was still going on, said that before taking off, Stack apparently set fire to his house and posted a long anti-government screed on the Web. It was dated Thursday and signed “Joe Stack (1956-2010).” In it, the author cited run-ins he had with the IRS and ranted about the tax agency, government bailouts and corporate America’s “thugs and plunderers.”

“I have had all I can stand,” he wrote, adding: “I choose not to keep looking over my shoulder at ‘big brother’ while he strips my carcass.”

Marjah offensive may take a month

U.S.-led forces control the main roads and markets in the besieged Taliban stronghold of Marjah, a Marine general said Thursday, even as fighting raged elsewhere in the southern farming town. Marines and Afghan sol-diers encountered better-fortified Taliban positions and more skilled marksmen on the sixth day of the assault, indicating Taliban resistance in their logistics and opi-um-smuggling center was far from crushed. A British general said he expected it would take another month to secure the town.

NATO said six international service members died Thursday, bringing the number of allied troops killed in the offensive to 11 NATO troops and one Afghan sol-dier. The international coalition did not disclose their nationalities, but Britain’s Defense Ministry said two British soldiers were among the dead. No precise fig-ures on Taliban deaths have been released, but senior Marine officers say intelligence reports suggest more than 120 have died. The officers spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not supposed to release the information.

Romney on ObamaRepublican Mitt Romney blistered President Barack

Obama for a squandered first year of policy failures and broken promises on Thursday, informally audition-ing before a key part of the GOP base for the chance to challenge the Democrat in 2012.

“President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and their team have failed the American people, and that is why their majority will be out the door,” Romney told a gathering of conservatives, a certain critical constituen-cy in the upcoming Republican primary fight. “When it comes to pinning blame, pin the tail on the donkeys,” Romney quipped — and this partisan crowd ate it up.

Conservatives attending the annual Conservative Po-litical Action Conference also heartily cheered at sever-al other points during Romney’s speech. And they went wild when newly elected Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., made a surprise appearance to introduce Romney, whose advisers helped orchestrate Brown’s upset vic-tory last month. “He was the only one behind pushing me along to try to make a difference,” Brown said of Romney, “one of the Republican Party’s bright lights.”

Obama stops in Denver for Bennet

President Barack Obama rallied behind Colorado’s junior senator and his entire reeling party Thursday, portraying Democrats as the leaders willing to “con-front the real problems” in a nation disgusted with partisan squabbling. “We do not quit,” Obama said in aligning himself ever closer with Democratic Sen. Mi-chael Bennet, still new on the Senate scene and now fighting a challenge in his own party.

Clinging to every Senate seat he can, Obama was aim-

ing to persuade not just those attending a fundraiser in Denver’s Fillmore Auditorium but voters nationwide, as an anti-incumbent fever rages. The president used his speech at the Fillmore, and at another for Bennet later in the evening, to rail against a cultural of “false-hoods and exaggerations and slash and burn politics.”

“Michael and I, we don’t have time for that non-sense,” the president said. “We’re going to keep doing everything in our power to turn this economy around.”

A fresh new look for Fonda

Jane Fonda started 2010 with a drastic beauty boost -- the veteran actress went under the knife earlier this year to banish wrinkles from her face, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.

“The 76-year-old has previously undergone cosmetic procedures to plump up her chest and reduce the lines around her eyes,” according to the Chronicle. “Now the star has admitted going back to doctors two weeks ago to help freshen up her face -- and she’s attempted to distract attention from the recent operation by getting a new haircut.”

She reportedly tells British newspaper the Daily Ex-press, “I just had some work done on my chin and neck and had the bags taken away from under my eyes so I decided it would be a good idea to get a new haircut so people will think it’s my new hair.”

Cops apprehend Zebra in Georgia

An Atlanta highway turned into a circus Thursday afternoon when an escaped zebra galloped along a busy section of interstate with police in hot pursuit. The 12-year-old animal, named Lima, was exercising outside a downtown arena in preparation for an eve-ning show when something spooked him, said Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus spokeswoman Crystal Drake. The zebra broke away from his trainers and bumped up against a fence, then wriggled through an opening.

“We’re not sure what it was that startled him, but we’re looking into that,” she said. He was spotted by people in downtown Atlanta around 4:30 p.m., said Georgia Department of Transportation spokeswoman Monica Luck. Daniel Nance said he saw the zebra near the downtown MARTA transit station.

“All of a sudden a freaking zebra comes running down the street like a car,” Nance told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Five or six police cars were in hot pursuit. And a bunch of officers on foot. But then I got scared, thinking ... what else is loose?”Lima led his trainers and police on a 40-minute chase through downtown to the interstate highway that cuts through the center of the city, covering well over a mile along the way. Police cruisers blocked off all southbound lanes of Interstate 75 and were able to herd the zebra over to the right shoulder and off an entrance ramp,

where his trainer was on hand to capture and soothe him, Drake said.

PleaseRobME.comFrank Groeneveld, a computer science student in the

Netherlands, was fast asleep not long ago when a bur-glar tried to enter his home, according to The San Fran-cisco Chroncle. In the report, Groeneveld, 22, managed to scare off the intruder but was left wondering: What if I wasn’t home? “Groeneveld returned to the idea recently when he found himself inundated by status updates on Twitter from users broadcasting their loca-tion,” writes the Chronicle. “In most cases, they were inadvertently advertising the fact that their home was likely unattended and vulnerable to a burglary.”

“It led him and two friends to launch a Web site this week provocatively called PleaseRobMe.com, a mashup of users’ content from Twitter, the San Fran-cisco microblogging service, and FourSquare, a site in which users share their location” reports the Chronicle. “While little more than a gag, PleaseRobMe raises se-rious questions about the potential ills associated with publicizing information online, particularly a user’s whereabouts.”

“We’re not trying to get people robbed, but helping them not to get robbed,” Groeneveld told the Chroni-cle. “We’re just presenting this information in a more obvious way. And that’s our point: Everyone can see this on Twitter.”

Duke lacrosse accuser tried to kill boyfriend

Durham police have charged Crystal Gail Mangum, 31, with attempting to kill her boyfriend early this morning; Mangum is the woman who wrongly accused three Duke lacrosse players of rape in 2006, reports the News Observer.

“A judge this morning ordered that she remain in jail on a $1 million bond,” reports the observer. “Wearing a white jail jumpsuit, Mangum kept her head down dur-ing her court appearance today and said nothing as the charges from this morning’s incident were read.”

“According to authorities, Mangum, 31, and her boyfriend, Milton Walker, were fighting in their apart-ment at 2220 Lincoln St. She then set fire to Walker’s clothing inside a bathtub, located in a bathroom in the middle of the apartment, police said. She tried to start another fire after officers arrived, according to an arrest warrant read during her court appearance,” reports the Observer. “Police said Mangum also threatened to stab Walker. Walker, as well as Mangum’s three children, ages 10, 9 and 3, were not injured.”

ripper, came in first for the ladies competition. The boys in the 15-17 age group also had a strong

showing with Christian Nichols taking seventh, fol-lowed by Kevin Gillie, 11th, and Trevor Haley, 12th.

“It’s amazing. It was the greatest thing in the world to see all our teammates do well. Everyone on the team made it through qualification,” said Nichols, who skied a big line with two airs 25 to 30 feet.

Ski Club Vail’s head big mountain coach Garret Sca-hill said, although the conditions were not ideal at The Butte, it was a great opportunity for the kids to ski some more difficult terrain. The team is having a lot of fun, and all the hard work seems to be paying off, he said.

Mitch Gilman, who was recently named by Powder Magazine as one of the top-20 freeride skiers under the age of 18, spends a lot of his time in the park and pipe, but on Thursday proved he can ski some gnarly lines too.

“This was my first big mountain comp of the year. It’s nice to be able to get out of the park and do some big mountain stuff,” Gilman said. “I like it because its super aggressive. You just charge down the hill – some-times a little out of control, but that’s what makes it fun.”

Gilman said the conditions were “super boney” at yesterday’s competition. They had a fresh dusting of snow, which was just enough to cover up the rocks, but you could still hit them.

Gilman opted to rip down a narrow shoot, known as “Little Hourglass,” which is what really set his run apart from the other riders, he said. At the bottom, there is a 15-foot mandatory air with a sketchy landing that is all ice. Two other kids attempted Little Hourglass, but they both fell as a result.

“It’s kind of funny coming out of Vail because we don’t have super steep runs, but what we did work on was our skiing,” said Noah Brooks, Ski Club Vail’s head freeride coach. “Garret Scahill has done a really great job with those kids, finding whatever it is at the mountain, whether it’s Prima Cornice, North Rim, off of Chair 11 – whatever we can possibly use to prepare these kids for the steeps they would experience at Red or Crested Butte.”

“Basically we try to get the kids to become well-rounded skiers,” Scahill said. “We ski everything. We work on moguls, ski technique, powder, cliffs, jumps,

park and pipe – everything. Basically everyday we try come up with something new. We try and focus on their skiing ability, rather than just charging steeps constant-ly.”

The kids have competitions in Snowbird and Grand Targhee in March and Crystal Mountain in April.

Vail’s Christian Nichols, 16, takes a “mandatory air” down the Little Hourglass chute on Sock-it-to-Me Ridge yesterday at the U.S. Extreme Freeskiing Championships in Crested Butte. Nicholas finished 7th in his age division.

automaker’s massive recalls in the United States, meet-ing face to face with lawmakers after enduring criti-cism that he responded too slowly to the company’s safety crisis. Toyoda, the grandson of the Japanese au-tomaker’s founder, said in a statement he looks “for-ward to speaking directly with Congress and the Amer-ican people.”

The auto executive accepted the invitation from the chairman of the House Oversight and Govern-ment Reform Committee as the government opened a fresh investigation into Corolla compacts over poten-tial steering problems. Toyota has faced a burgeoning safety crisis over the past four months with the recall of roughly 8.5 million vehicles over questions involving gas pedals, accelerators getting jammed in floor mats and brakes on various vehicles

Vegas mayor tells O noMayor Oscar Goodman has refused an invitation to

meet with President Obama when he arrives in town on Thursday; Mayor Goodman called President Obama a slow learner after he told Americans not to blow money on a weekend in Las Vegas if they were saving to put their kids through college, reports KTNV the ABC af-filiate in Las Vegas.

“I’ve got other things to do quite frankly for my con-stituents here in Las Vegas who rely on me to do the right thing as a mayor,” explained Mayor Goodman to KTNV. Mayor Goodman has more important things like attend budget meetings during a major shortfall than meet with President Barack Obama when he visits Las Vegas Friday, according to KTNV. Mayor Good-man is rejecting the invitation, even though it comes directly from the White House.

Obama meets with Dalai Lama

President Barack Obama personally welcomed the Dalai Lama to the White House on Thursday and laud-

ed his goals for the Tibetan people, but he kept their get-together off-camera and low-key in an attempt to avoid inflaming tensions with China. At the risk of angering Beijing, Obama did tell the exiled spiritual leader that he backs the preservation of Tibet’s culture and supports human rights for its people. He also gave encouragement to the Dalai Lama’s request for talks with the Chinese government

Meetings between the Dalai Lama and U.S. presi-dents became standard fare under former President George H.W. Bush nearly 20 years ago. But the cho-reography is always delicate and closely watched be-cause of China’s sensitivity.

Revered in much of the world, the Dalai Lama is seen by Beijing as a separatist seeking to overthrow Chinese rule of Tibet. Though he says that is untrue, China regards any official foreign leader’s contact with the Buddhist monk as an infringement on its sovereign-ty over the mountainous region and as a particularly unwelcome snub. China had urged Obama not to meet with the Dalai Lama.

DiCaprio to play Sinatra, Sinatra to sing Sinatra

He’ll play the part, but he won’t sing it. That’s Martin Scorsese’s attitude about his current favorite leading man, Leonardo DiCaprio, taking on the role of Frank Sinatra in an upcoming film about the legend’s life, re-ports The New York Daily News.

According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Roger Fried-man, DiCaprio will play the lead role in Martin Scors-ese’s big screen retelling of the icon’s life. But when asked if he would attempt to mimic Sinatra’s singing, Scorsese shot back “With those records? Frank will do the singing. But we’re waiting for a finished script.”

Scorsese made the statements at the New York premiere for his latest collaboration with DiCaprio, the creepy “Shut-ter Island,” which opens today, reports the Daily News.

mandated bigger, heavier skis for the petite Mancuso.“She’s a big event girl, she always has been,” said

U.S. Women’s Head Coach Jim Tracy. “Yeah, she struggled last year, but I think in some respects it was not the worst thing in the world, because it certainly refocused her on what she wanted to do and when she wanted to accomplish those things.”

Third after downhill, Mancuso went hard for the sla-lom leg, barely maintaining control around the gates and thrilling the Whistler crowd as she snuck into first past Austria’s Kathrin Zettel.

“I don’t know where this slalom was hiding, but she certainly brought it out on the day that she needed to,” Tracy said.

“I was nervous in the start, but I was also really excit-ed,” Mancuso said. “I knew that it was all-or-nothing, so I went out there and I gave it my all. I crossed the finish line after having a mistake and saw that I was in first. It really was just joy and amazement.”

Riesch reversed her eighth-place downhill fortunes with a stylish, smooth slalom that unseated Mancuso, and Vonn fell behind her close friend at the last interval by .18 seconds before hitting a gate and losing her ski. A course worker handed it back, and she made her way down to the finish to deliver a congratulatory hug to Riesch.

“She has her gold medal from yesterday,” Reisch said after winning Germany’s first alpine gold since 1988. “Today, it was a bad day for her, yesterday it was a bad day for me, and that’s how sports is. I think she has

another good chance in the super G.”Case in point, Sweden’s Anja Paerson recovered

from a brutal impact off the final jump in Wednesday’s downhill to take super combined bronze.

“I was just fighting hard,” Vonn said. “It happens in slalom. I was hoping that it wasn’t going to happen to-day, but I gave it my best.”

Vonn said she will continue treatment for a bruised shin, although Tracy said she has the mental strength to push through it and perform well in the remaining three Olympic races.

“I think the pain, for these events, she can put it out of her mind,” Tracy said. “It’ll bother her after the event’s over, but I think she’s so focused that the pain probably isn’t there too much.”

Kaylin Richardson was the next highest U.S. finisher in 17th, while Leanne Smith finished 21st after tearing her ACL in Cortina a little more than a year ago.

“We only got one training run, which was sort of a half training run, and I managed to miss three gates,” Richardson said after the downhill. “It was my first time ever on that course, so it ran differently than I thought so going into this race. I knew that I needed to take some risks, but at the same time, I really wanted to make all the gates.”

Next up for the U.S. women: a day of rest, then the super G on Saturday at 10 a.m. PT.

“Confidence breeds confidence,” Tracy said. “We’ve got two of them right now that have a lot of confidence going.”
