A city bus makes its way through heavy downtown traffic Friday afternoon. A new yield-to-bus law, set to take effect Tuesday, should help city bus drivers navigate Lincoln Avenue and U.S. Highway 40. The city of Steamboat Springs and law enforcement officials will provide a demonstration of the new law at 1 p.m. Monday at the Stock Bridge Transit Center.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The city of Steamboat Springs will provide a dem-onstration Monday of a new state law that will aid city buses trying to re-enter traffic from a bus stop and also change the way traffic flows through Steamboat Springs, particularly downtown.

House Bill 1027 requires driv-ers to yield to transit buses re-entering traffic from a bus stop when the bus signals its inten-tion and illuminates a yellow

“yield” sign on the back of the bus. The law is scheduled to go into effect Tuesday. Current law requires only vehicles entering a roadway, not those already in the roadway, to yield to buses.

Public Works Director Philo Shelton said the Colorado State Patrol will be on hand Monday to help explain how the law works. Steamboat Springs Police Capt. Joel Rae said there has been “mirror slapping” and other accidents in the city between vehicles and city buses re-entering traffic, particular-ly on Lincoln Avenue in Old Town.

Rae said he has yet to receive a fine schedule for violations, but he assumes it will carry a fine of $15 to $100 and count for two points against a person’s license.

“It’s not effective to have a bus sitting there at 5 p.m. unable to get back in traffic,” Rae said.

Rep. Joe Rice and Sen. Dan Gibbs sponsored the bill on behalf of the Colorado Association of Transit Agencies. The bill was suggested by Shelton, a CASTA board mem-ber.

Shelton said traffic studies conducted on Lincoln Avenue last year revealed that a yield-to-bus law could help relieve congestion in downtown

Forgive me, faithful read-ers, for I have zinned.At 11:30 a.m. Friday,

when I should have been sit-ting at my laptop cogitating, I instead attended Zin City at the Steamboat Grand Resort Hotel. There, I joined about 30 cult followers of the multi-fac-eted red wine called zinfandel.

Never have I spit so much expensive wine into a plastic cup and enjoyed it so much.

The Wine Festival at Steam-boat is in full swing this week-end, and I took the opportunity to learn more about a wine I often turn to when I need a little more spice with a spicy meal. I like adding mystery to some of the jammy red fruit — strawberry, raspberry, cherry, blackberries and even blueber-ries — I’ve come to expect from red wines.

A group of wine experts, zinfandel producers all of them, called out enthusiastically Friday when asked by one of the cult members what kind of food goes best with zinfandel.

“Barbecue! Any grilled

meats! Grilled tenderloin with blue cheese! Elk and buffalo! Hey, what about chocolate des-serts?”

Zinfandels, often shorted to “zins,” also lend themselves to wine labels devoted to word-play. Labels such as 7 Deadly Zins and Sin Zin abound.

Ask Stewart Vandenberg, a grape grower from Healdsburg, Calif., and western regional sales manager for Alexander Valley Vineyards, whether clev-er wine labels are off-putting to serious oenophiles, and he doesn’t hesitate.

“Zinfandels are meant to be fun,” Vandenberg said. That explains why Alexander Valley’s family of zinners

OAK CREEK

After five years of pizzas, sandwiches and beer, today will be the last day Doug Diamond can call himself owner of Black Mountain Tavern.

Diamond, who has owned or co-owned the Oak Creek restau-rant since it opened, has played his hand as restaurateur, and now he said it’s time for him to move on.

“It’s like poker. When you can’t ante up, you can’t play any more,” he said.

Diamond said Friday that he sold the business and that it likely would continue under the same name. He said he did not want to name the buyer.

Diamond said the economic downturn has hit his business hard since November.

“From Thanksgiving on, it was rough, rough, rough,” he said. He was forced to turn off his pizza ovens to save gas and stopped offering lunch.

“It came down to cash flow,” he said.

In the past months, Diamond

said, the recession has lifted slightly, but not enough to keep him afloat.

“I’m starting to run out of money,” he said. “There is an upturn that is starting to go on, but I’m not going to be able to last it out.”

He laughingly said the slow leak of money is “kind

of like drowning.”Diamond said he is in “elev-

enth-hour” conversations with a potential buyer, who may contin-ue to operate Black Mountain. Diamond opened the restau-rant with then-co-owner Dan Bubenheim. Diamond is now

About an hour and a half into his band’s set Wednesday night at Ghost Ranch Saloon, Akron/Family bassist Miles Seaton had reason to ask: “Can we start our show now?”

The concert had started with a stirring but sparse sing-along to a chorus about wanting to “live in Woody Guthrie’s America,” and had moved through more musical styles than could ever be recounted.

But it wasn’t until guitar-ist and multi-instrumental-ist Seth Olinsky turned on a drum machine and laid down a dance groove that the band — highly acclaimed in some areas, less known in the moun-tains of Colorado — had more than three people to play to. By the end of the night, about a dozen people filled the floor and every head that hadn’t walked out of the venue earlier

An Eighth Street resident admitted to killing a bear in downtown Steamboat Springs on July 20, but he said the shot was intended only to scare the bear away.

Kent Nightwalker said he intended to shoot into the dirt to scare the bear away from the alley behind his home. Instead, he said, he accidentally killed the 200- to 300-pound male bear. Colorado Division of Wildlife spokesman Randy Hampton said officers are continuing their investigation and have not issued a citation in the case.

Nightwalker said he was loading his car for a planned business trip July 20 when a bear “popped up, 4 or 5 feet” in front of him and went after the trash in a neighbor’s driveway at about 9:40 p.m.

Nightwalker said he slammed his car door, ran inside and called 911. The dispatcher reportedly told him to go inside and wait until the bear left the area. Call logs show a call was placed from Nightwalker’s phone number at 9:59 p.m.

“But I was working; I was getting ready to leave town. I went inside, I packed my clothes, watched television for a few minutes, and he was still wrestling around with this trash

can,” Nightwalker said. That’s when Nightwalker got

a rifle, which was a gun his father handed down to him and that Nightwalker described as a .248, and went outside. He said he did not want to “cower” in his home while the bear was outside.

“I brought it up. I was going to shoot down in the dirt near it to try to get it to leave,” he said. “It was wrestling around with the trash can. I couldn’t even see it; I could just see a little tiny bit of brown on its head.”

The bear was “10 to 20 feet” away from Nightwalker, he said, and when he shot, he thought

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Steamboat Springs City Manager Jon Roberts has cho-sen to delay the hiring of a finance director at a time when declining revenues and budget cuts have made the city’s coffers a principal concern.

“After conducting a nation-wide recruitment for the position of Finance Director, and after receiving input and recommen-dations from the interview team, our management team, and the staff of the finance department, we shall not, at this time, fill the position of finance director,” Roberts wrote Friday in an e-mail to Steamboat Springs City Council and city department leaders. “(Assistant Finance Director) Bob Litzau shall con-tinue in the capacity of interim finance director.”

Three finalists were inter-viewed for the position last month. City Council President Loui Antonucci said he is disap-pointed, but not surprised, that the city didn’t receive a better response from applicants for the position. Antonucci guessed that, given the economic climate, potential applicants are hesitant to leave their current jobs and worried about the prospect of having to sell a home to make the move to Steamboat Springs. City Council wasn’t involved in the recruitment process.

“From what I understand, there wasn’t a lot of applicants. (Roberts) told me it was kind of thin,” said Antonucci, who added that the Finance Department is shorthanded and stressed but that Litzau is doing a good job. “We’ve got a good staff, and

we’ll get through it.”Roberts wrote in his e-mail

that the city is “currently evaluat-ing the most appropriate method of adding additional resources to the Finance Department,” but that any additional efforts to recruit a director will be delayed until after the development of the 2010 budget.

“I would imag-ine it’s going to be six months or more,” Antonucci said.

The finance director position has become a turbulent one.

Lisa Rolan held the posi-tion from March 2008 until she resigned in December. Before Rolan’s hiring, the position had been open since former Finance Director Don Taylor was let go by former City Manager Alan Lanning in July 2007. Litzau has served as the interim director throughout the vacancies.

“I think we are (in) great need of a permanent finance direc-tor, but I definitely didn’t want to go through with a ‘bad’ hire or end up with someone that would leave after a short peri-od of time,” Councilwoman Cari Hermacinski wrote in an e-mail. “But I have heard from both Jon and (Deputy City Manager) Wendy (DuBord) that, aside from possibly a police chief, a finance director is the most important department head for a city and a city manager, so

I’m glad that the city manager is waiting for a good fit.”

Last month, Roberts said he is “looking for somebody who obviously is very qualified with

a rock-solid back-ground in munici-pal finance” and somebody who can innovatively and enthusiastically confront the city’s budget challenges.

In a departure from recent city

practice, Roberts said he han-dled this hiring process in-house rather than contracting with an executive search firm.

Sales tax collections in Steamboat decreased by 5 per-cent in April from the previ-ous year, and year-to-date sales taxes are down 16.4 percent in Steamboat compared with 2008.

Steamboat Springs’ sales tax collections decreased by 16.5 per-cent in May. The city’s general fund is down about 12.4 percent for the year.

The city made massive budget cuts this year, including a fur-lough program that has seen city employees’ pay and hours cut by 10 percent. Also, Litzau said in June that the city is looking to cut an additional 10 percent, or about $2 million, from its 2010 general fund budget; that’s on top of a revised 2009 gen-eral fund budget that already has been cut about 13 percent from 2008.

Paul KrugmanTHE NEW YORK TIMES

At a recent town hall meeting, a man stood up and told Rep. Bob Inglis to “keep your government hands off my Medicare.” The congressman, a Republican from South Carolina, tried

to explain that Medicare is already a government program — but the voter, Inglis said, “wasn’t having any of it.”

It’s a funny story — but it illustrates the extent to which health reform must climb a wall of misinfor-mation. It’s not just that

many Americans don’t understand what President Barack Obama is proposing; many people don’t understand the way American health care works right now. They don’t understand, in particular, that getting the government involved in health care wouldn’t be a radical step: The gov-

ernment already is deeply involved, even in private insurance.

And that government involvement is the only reason our system works at all.

The key thing you need to know about health care is that it depends crucially on insurance. You don’t know when or whether you’ll need treatment - but if you do, treatment can be extremely expensive, well beyond what most people can pay out of pocket. Triple coronary bypasses, not routine doctor’s visits, are where the real money is, so insurance is essential.

Yet private markets for health insur-ance, left to their own devices, work very badly: Insurers deny as many claims as possible, and they also try to avoid cover-ing people who are likely to need care. Horror stories are legion: The insurance company that refused to pay for urgently needed cancer surgery because of ques-tions about the patient’s acne treatment; the healthy young woman denied cover-age because she briefly saw a psychologist

after breaking up with her boyfriend.And in their efforts to avoid “medi-

cal losses,” the industry term for paying medical bills, insurers spend much of the money taken in through premiums not on medical treatment, but on “underwriting” — screening out people likely to make insurance claims. In the individual insur-ance market, where people buy insurance directly rather than getting it through their employers, so much money goes into underwriting and other expenses that only about 70 cents of each premium dollar actually goes to care.

Still, most Americans do have health insurance, and are reasonably satisfied with it. How is that possible, when insur-ance markets work so badly? The answer is government intervention.

Most obviously, the government directly provides insurance via Medicare and other programs. Before Medicare was established, more than 40 percent of

David BrooksTHE NEW YORK TIMES

Everybody wants to be a striding titan. Almost all alpha-leaders want to be the brilliant visionary in a time of crisis — the one who sees the situation clearly, makes the bold plans and delivers

the faithful to the other side.

It almost never works out that way. The historian Henry Adams concluded that “in all great emergen-cies ... everyone was more or less wrong.” Abraham Lincoln didn’t feel like a

heroic leader: “I claim not to have con-trolled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me.” In real crises, the successful leaders are usually the ones who cope best with ignorance and error.

David Wessel’s about-to-be-released book, “In Fed We Trust,” gives a reveal-

ing blow-by-blow account of the recent financial crisis and illustrates this point.

It is a tale replete with error. In theory, Ben Bernanke, Henry Paulson and Tim Geithner were as well prepared as anyone for this sort of event. Bernanke had spent his life studying the Great Depression; Paulson had led the world’s most prestigious investment bank; Geithner had been involved in financial rescues in Asia and beyond.

Moreover, all of them were expecting some kind of crisis. They knew there had been a dangerous surge of debt.

And yet as the panic unfolded in 2007 and 2008, they continu-ally underestimated its scope and implications. In July 2007, Bernanke estimated global losses from the sub-prime mortgages and other loans of $50 billion to $100 billion. The losses turned out to be in the neighborhood of $4 trillion. In October of 2007, Bernanke said the banking system

was healthy and doubted that the housing woes would destabilize it. He was wrong.

Their decision not to bail out Lehman Brothers was based on a com-plete misreading of the economic psy-chology. Paulson was sick of doing bail-outs. He seems to have had some sort of intuitive moral sense that it was time for some bank to pay for its mistakes. Bernanke and Geithner went along, and none of them anticipated the meltdown that followed.

But this is not a story of failure. It’s a story of effective muddling through. Bernanke & Co. never really got control of events. But they did avert disaster and committed only a few big blunders. In the real world, that counts as a job well done.

Bernanke’s first achievement was social, not intellectual. Wessel describes

elderly Americans lacked any kind of health insurance. Today, Medicare — which is, by the way, one of those “single payer” systems conservatives love to demonize — covers everyone 65 and older. And surveys show that Medicare recipients are much more satisfied with their coverage than Americans with private insurance.

Still, most Americans young-er than 65 have some form of private insurance. The vast majority, however, don’t buy it directly: they get it through their employers. There’s a big tax advantage to doing it that way, because employer contributions to health care aren’t considered taxable income. But to get that tax advantage employers have to follow a number of rules; roughly speaking, they can’t dis-

criminate based on pre-existing medical conditions or restrict benefits to highly paid employ-ees.

And it’s thanks to these rules that employment-based insur-ance more or less works, at least in the sense that horror stories are a lot less common than they are in the individual insurance market.

So here’s the bottom line: If you currently have decent health insurance, thank the govern-ment. It’s true that if you’re young and healthy, with noth-ing in your medical history that could have raised red flags with corporate accountants, you might have been able to get insurance without govern-ment intervention. But time and chance happen to us all, and the only reason you have a reasonable prospect of still hav-ing insurance coverage when

you need it is the large role the government already plays.

Which brings us to the cur-rent debate over reform.

Right-wing opponents of reform would have you think Obama is a wild-eyed social-ist, attacking the free market. But unregulated markets don’t work for health care — never have, never will. To the extent we have a working health care system at all right now it’s only because the government covers the elderly, while a combina-tion of regulation and tax subsidies makes it possible for many, but not all, nonelderly Americans to get decent pri-vate coverage.

Now Obama basically pro-poses using additional regula-tion and subsidies to make decent insurance available to all of us. That’s not radical; it’s as American as, well, Medicare.

Krugman continued from 8

If you have OK insurance, thank government

one long meeting and one tough decision after another. Rarely have so few endured so many conference calls for the sake of so many. And yet through all the talk, the fear and the rotten choices, Bernanke seems to have culti-vated a feeling of comradeship and harmony within the group. He kept the conversation going.

Something unexpected would happen. At one point AIG claimed it needed a $4 bil-lion cash infusion. Within days it drew in $38 billion instead. Bernanke, Geithner, Paulson and others would just keep talking it through. They devel-oped a feel for the crisis, and for the sort of traditions they would have to smash to address it.

Second, Bernanke avoided the grand gesture. Occasionally, Paulson would make a bold policy pronouncement. The idea was to lay down some sort of principle so the markets would understand the new rules and feel more secure. But then events would change and he’d have to reverse course. He’d end up produc-ing more uncertainty, not less.

Bernanke and Geithner favored a process of constant and gradual adjustment. They were navigating in a violent sea, shifting their weight this way and that to stay upright another day. They tried to solve one problem at a time and worry about the unin-tended consequences later. Their method didn’t produce a set of clear principles. Their lack of a grand plan or an

exit strategy worried some. But their method matched the chaos of the situation.

This recession is happening at a time when many wonder whether the political system is capable of addressing the nation’s problems. The presi-dency has become a gargantu-an enterprise in which media-star leaders are surrounded by a permanent campaign apparatus. Congress is riven by ideology and dominated by parochial concerns.

The Federal Reserve is not the most democratic institu-tion, but under Bernanke et al, it seems to have done a good enough job. Self-efface-ment did not lead to timidity. Good people were mobilized and were able to talk frankly about the many things they did not understand.

W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan’s comic operetta once were enormously popular. In recent decades, though, they have been upstaged by musical pro-ductions that are perhaps supe-rior in most respects, but it was a delight to revisit “The Pirates of Penzance.” It is unsurpassed for sheer silliness, and the tunes and lyrics have well withstood the passage of time.

Gilbert and Sullivan had an enormously successful partner-ship but, strangely, were not especially good friends, partly because Sullivan wanted to com-pose serious music and resented having to put music to lyrics he regarded as preposterous and overly repetitive, which is, of course, their charm. They were opposite personality types.

It worked for them thanks to their association with the impres-sario D’Oyly Carte, who built a theater for their productions. George Bernard Shaw said about Grand Opera that it was popular entertainment that had degen-erated to an art form. Gilbert and Sullivan’s operettas have suffered no such degeneration, and moveover, are in English. Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School and Camp’s production of “The Pirates of Penzance” keeps it lowbrow by introducing slapstick that probably would not have been part of genteel

Victorian theater. These antics kept things moving on the small stage packed with performers, most of whom were beautiful girls.

There was never a dull moment in Act I, set as it was on the palm tree-speckled coast of Cornwall. With so many per-formers in a limited space, with asymmetrical risers, the choreog-raphy was important for safety, and Ernesta Corvino made the stage movement flow beautifully. The special effects included waves undulating in the background and a giant pirate ship that could sail to and fro. The blue sky dot-ted with puffy white clouds later, in Act II, became a spectacular rose sunset.

At the end, when the pirates win the battle but then acquiesce as the name of Queen Victoria is invoked, a portrait of the queen appears; she looks remarkably like June Lindenmayer, Perry-Mansfield’s executive director.

“Pirates of Penzance” con-tains some fine pastoral poetry, for example, in Act II, part II:

General: And the brook in rip-pling measure

Laughs for very love,While the poplars in their pleasure,Wave their arms above.All (Pirates and Police):

‘Pirates of Penzance’ a worthy operetta

Steamboat. Similar laws have been adopted in other states and Europe.

During periods of heavy traffic, Shelton said buses on Lincoln Avenue have difficulty re-entering traffic after pulling over to drop off and pick up passengers at stops. To maintain frequency, the city has added a bus to its main line in recent years, Shelton said.

“When you have your bus

route, maintaining the sched-ule is very important,” Shelton said.

Transit Operations Manager Jonathan Flint said the amount of time it takes buses to reenter traffic has been the one fac-tor Steamboat Springs Transit has been unable to account for when determining its routes and schedule.

House Bill 1027 passed unanimously in the Colorado House of Representatives. It passed, 23-12, in the Senate.

Gubernatorial hopeful Sen. Josh Penry, R-Grand Junction, voted against the bill. He did not return a phone message Friday.

At a cost of $2,000 each, the city has installed and wired illu-minated yield signs on 13 city buses and four regional buses. The city is “working diligently to get signs on all” buses, accord-ing to a city news release.

he missed because the bear con-tinued to move. He said he then went back inside and decided to leave for his trip the next day.

A second call from a neigh-bor, reporting the dead bear, came at 10:13 p.m.

Nightwalker said nobody came to his house that night and that he did not know what was going on in the alley behind his home as police responded to the scene. The bear reportedly was shot in the back of the head just below the skull.

The next day, he said, he saw a trail of blood and real-ized he had shot the bear. He then left on the planned busi-ness trip to Montana.

Nightwalker said he is not a hunter and has never pur-chased a gun.

He said he could under-stand the skepticism of people who hear his story.

“People say ‘When you walk out with a rifle, what’s your intention?’ Well my intention was to get that thing away from me. I hit it

unintentionally,” he said. Nightwalker said he was

frustrated with the bear dig-ging through trash and was eager to leave for his trip.

“I wasn’t try-ing to be some big person. I had business to take care of. There is a bear problem, and they’re not going to make me cower in my own home,” he said.

“It was a stupid fluke of luck that I hit that thing. It was probably stu-pid I even went out there,” he said. “I am at fault, don’t get me wrong. I chose to go out there and try to scare it off with a big rifle.”

He said he has seen bears in the area before but has not called the police about this bear in the past. He said he has called about bears in other locations and was frustrated by the response.

Even so, he said that if he

were confronted with another bear in the future he would not choose to confront it. Instead, he said, he would call the police and “badger them”

until an officer responded.

When Night-walker called 911 that night, the DOW was noti-fied but did not go to the scene until after the sec-ond call reporting the bear had been shot.

DOW officers in cooperation with the 14th Judicial District attorney will

decide what, if any, charges Nightwalker will face. Officers and prosecutors could issue a citation or charge him ranging up to felony level.

District Attorney Elizabeth Oldham said she expects a decision within the next week.

the sole owner. “I want the restaurant to keep

going,” he said. Diamond said the restaurant

is a part of the community, with a reciprocal relationship that benefited the people of South Routt and the business.

“The people of South Routt really, really took care of us. They’re great people. I have no animosity,” he said. “I just got caught.”

Judy Deming, former owner of Judy’s Country Donuts and Bakery, said she has seen res-taurants in Oak Creek hurt as the economy turned sour.

“I’ve seen a tough time for the community, as far as res-taurants like that, but there are a lot of restaurants in Oak Creek, and they’re all strug-

gling right now,” she said. “I think a lot of it has to do with the economy. People just don’t have that kind of money.”

Deming said she knew Black Mountain was suffer-ing and that it’s sad to have Diamond leave.

“I hate seeing it. It’s kind of a bummer,” she said.

Diamond said the sup-port of South Routt residents allowed the restaurant to stay open as long as it has.

During that time, Diamond estimates the restaurant has donated more than $3,000 to the Soroco High School art department through the sale of art from the restaurant walls. The restaurant took 10 percent of each sale and then asked artists whether they would be willing to donate another 10 percent to the art program.

Diamond said he also was pleased to take part in sev-eral fundraising efforts for people in need by providing donations or helping to raise funds.

“To live in a small com-munity like this and have everybody pull together when somebody’s in trouble, that’s beautiful,” he said.

Diamond said he likely would continue to work with the restaurant in some fashion for the next couple of months, dissolving his company and possibly helping new owners in a transition.

“I love this town, and I love the people. It’s been a wonder-ful, wonderful experience,” he said.

in the set was bobbing.It’s a credit to the band’s

mesmerizing stage presence that even after the dance beat faded, everyone they’d attracted to the floor kept moving, navi-gating the psych rock, folk har-monies and fireside sing-along sessions that carried the rest of the set.

Akron/Family doesn’t make it easy for new audiences to wrap their minds around what they’re seeing. The trick is not to think about it too much. Yes, drummer Dana Janssen is play-

ing his drum kit with a maraca, and yes, that is a microphone in Olinsky’s mouth, and yes, Seaton is playing a beer bottle with a drumstick.

But even when the sonic onslaught is too much to dance to, Akron/Family never lets the music slip into a lull and always pulls an experimental jam into a chorus or tight groove just in time.

Solid information about Akron/Family is about as immediately accessible as the band’s sound — which is to say, not very. That’s one of many possible reasons that

the show — which ended up being free, but at one time had a posted cover of $15 — had three people dancing for the first hour. It’s probably a fair guess that the small crowd was a little disheartening to Akron/Family, a band that likely hasn’t played to a disinterested audience in a few years.

But low attendance didn’t seem to have any effect on the amount of energy the band put out, and the three people dancing had the uncommon chance to have a very good, very interesting band play a private show just for them.

includes names like Temptation Zinfandel and Redemption Zin along with Sin Zin. Hey, they sell wine.

Characterizing the full breadth of the wines produced by the zinfandel grape is a challenge because they vary so much, the experts explained to our group at the Grand. They can be elegant and refined wines from 100-year-old Napa vines or they can be challeng-ing and a little dark. Many produce a peppery, spicy fin-ish and others are described as being claret-like, or similar to a Bordeaux.

I sampled Alexander Valley’s Sin Zin, liked it very much and announced to the

assembled masses that I tasted cocoa filling my mouth in combination with the jammy red fruit of the wine.

“No, that’s Temptation Zin” that has cocoa notes, Vandenberg corrected me.

Fortunately, Nance Billman came to my rescue.

“If everyone tasted and liked the same things, I’d be out of a job,” Billman said. “We’d be Coke or Pepsi.”

Ironically, Vandenberg said it could well be a hint of cola that I was tasting in the Sin Zin. Was he messing with my palate?

Whatever it was, it was dif-ficult to spit it into the plastic cup.

Billman is a sales represen-tative for a wine distributor called Wine Cru. She urged the people attending the Zin City seminar to make the best of hard economic times by asking wine shops and fine dining restaurants to stock the bottles that appeal most to them. Some limited-release wines that previously were sent only to top restaurants are becoming more widely available, she said.

“Restaurants can flip their list faster than the retailers,

and they will bring them in if you ask for them. In these economic times, you are in control,” she said.

If you’re feeling in control of your economic destiny this week, and you want to com-mit to a big zin that goes well with a decadent dessert, track down the Michael-David Lust zinfandel and give it a chance to breathe. At $55 to $59 a bottle, its up front, milk choc-olate flavors are truly zinful. This same winery produces

the more modestly priced 7 Deadly Zins.

Perhaps your palate is more refined than mine; you might also taste caramel, crème de cassis, tangerine zest and cin-namon-spiced gingerbread in a wine called Lust. Wow.

Always remember, you can give in to Lust today and repent your zins tomorrow.

Tom Ross is a longtime Steamboat resident. His col-umn is published Tuesdays and Saturdays in Steamboat Today.

Much of the music is equal to such lyrics. Particularly good is the “How Beautifully the Sky ...” piece, in which a tune in march time is set against a tune in waltz time.

The voice was quite good.

Conor Ryan’s outstanding dic-tion clearly conveyed every syllable in the role of Frederic. I would like to single out for praise Maria Slye as Mabel, Michael Hewitt as the Pirate

King, and Gracie Stockdale for her stellar job in acting and singing.

This was, without exaggera-tion, a marvelous production. It appears that all involved were thoroughly immersed in the humor of the show and the audience. It was nothing but good clean fun. Nobody died. Everyone ended up getting mar-ried.

A Colorado lawmaker says state and local governments could lose $1.1 billion a year if it eliminates the business per-sonal property tax.

Democratic Sen. Joyce Foster, of Denver, released the estimate Friday at a meet-ing of a legislative task force reviewing proposals to reduce or eliminate the tax. Foster is chairwoman of the 17-member task force.

Business leaders are clamor-ing for the state to eliminate the complicated business tax, say-ing it hurts Colorado’s ability to recruit new employers.

Lawmakers counter that the tax is a major part of the bud-get.

“If we can find a source for that that’s more fair, that’s more equitable, it will be a glorious, glorious outcome for the com-mittee,” Foster said.

Sen. Mark Scheffel, R-Parker, said it will be difficult to eliminate the tax because of the state’s budget crisis, and there are no suggestions about how to replace the money, which also goes to local governments and special districts.

About 100,000 businesses are required to pay the tax.

Scheffel said business leaders told him “this tax was an eco-nomic growth inhibitor, it was a job killer.”

Scheffel sponsored a bill earlier this year to phase out the tax, but lawmakers rewrote it and created a task force to study the issue, one of several study commit-tees during the past decade. Senate Bill 85 originally would have phased out the tax throughout 40 years start-

ing in 2011.Business owners long have

complained about the busi-ness personal property tax, which applies to equipment, furnishings and other property, but many school districts also depend on the tax.

The task force is expected to report to the Legislature by Nov. 1.

Judge picks grand jury in carbon monoxide deaths

ASPEN

A judge has begun select-ing a grand jury to investigate whether criminal charges should be filed in the carbon monoxide deaths of four people in the Aspen area during the Thanksgiving holiday.

Pitkin County District Judge James Boyd on Friday started choosing 12 jurors and four alternates. Prosecutors will then present evidence to the jurors about the deaths.

Parker and Caroline Lofgren, of Denver, and their two children, ages 8 and 10, were found dead the day after Thanksgiving in a home where they spending the holiday.

They had won a weekend at the vacation home in a fundraiser.

Investigators say a discon-nected exhaust pipe in a utility closet was leaking carbon-mon-oxide gas.

Hundreds mourn slain Montrose police officer

MONTROSE

Hundreds of people turned out for the funeral of a Montrose police officer who was shot to death dur-ing a domestic disturbance

call.The 1,500-seat gymnasium at

Montrose High School was full and at least 300 people watched by a video hookup in an aux-iliary gym Friday as Gov. Bill Ritter and others paid tribute to Sgt. David Kinterknecht.

Kinterknecht was killed and two officers were wounded in the shootings July 25. Investigators identified the shooter as 52-year-old Dennis E. Gurney and say he took his own life.

In a statement published in the Montrose Daily Press on Friday, Kinternecht’s wife, Kathy, wrote that she is “very angry now” but hopes to find peace and to focus on her hus-band’s life, not his death.

Fundraiser chosen for Capitol dome repairs

DENVER

A nonprofit preservation group says it will lead a fund-raising campaign for repairs to the Colorado Capitol’s gilded dome, which is suffering from rust, cracks and rot.

Colorado Preservation said Friday the repairs will cost anywhere from $11 million to $30 million.

The group says it was cho-sen by the Capitol Building Advisory Committee and the Legislature’s Capital Development Committee to lead the campaign.

Weather has damaged iron columns, railings and facades of the mostly cast iron dome. The wood around windows in the dome also is rotting.

State officials say visitors are in no immediate danger, although workers did put net-ting around the base of the dome in 2007 after a 10-pound chunk of cast iron fell off.

DENVER

An appeals court has ordered a new, shorter sentence for ex-Qwest CEO Joe Nacchio, saying his 6-year term for insider trad-ing was too long.

The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday that the trial judge overstated the amount of Nacchio’s alleged financial gain.

Nacchio was convicted in 2007 of 19 counts of insider trading and acquitted on 23 counts. Prosecutors alleged he sold $52 million in Qwest Communications International stock based on nonpublic infor-mation that the Denver-based telecommunications company was at risk.

A three-judge panel at the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver on Friday agreed with Nacchio’s lawyers that the $52 million figure was too high. Instead, the figure used should have been Nacchio’s net profit resulting from illegal insider trading.

The appeals court did not say exactly what Nacchio’s sentence or fine should be, sending those determinations back to a lower court.

Nacchio attorney Herbert J. Stern said they were grati-fied with the ruling, while Washington-based Justice Dep-artment spokeswoman Laura Sweeney said they were review-ing it.

A securities lawyer in Hous-ton watching the case called Friday’s ruling a setback for government prosecutors seek-ing generous determinations of the harm from fraud.

“The calculation of sentence dollar amounts is hotly con-tested,” said securities attorney Tom Ajamie.

“What is the proper dollar amount to look at? The govern-ment will want to argue dam-age to all shareholders, dam-age to the company, which can be in the hundreds of millions. The defense lawyers will always

argue, no, you have to look at the personal gain.”

Prosecutors said Nacchio gained $44 million, while the court for sentencing purposes took the prosecutors’ figure and subtracted $16 million for taxes. His six-year sentence was based on an alleged profit of $28 million.

Nacchio’s attorney’s argue that the former CEO is being punished for the price increase of Qwest stock from 1997, and his actual profit would have been $1.8 million, capping his prison sentence at 4 years,

three months.The court wrote that it dis-

agreed with the district court’s analysis and said Nacchio’s gain should be calculated “in a manner that is more nar-rowly focused on producing a figure that reflects, in at least approximate terms, the pro-ceeds related to his criminally culpable conduct.”

Nacchio was ordered to for-feit $52 million, but the court said that amount should be adjusted to reflect brokerage, commission fees and and other direct costs of trading. The

appellate court ruled that the lower court misapplied the law in ordering Nacchio to for-feit the gross proceeds of the trades.

Using the higher figure to calculate a sentence for Nacchio, the court wrote, “ignored the myriad of fac-tors unrelated to his criminal fraud” that could’ve affected the value of the securities.

Nacchio has appealed his conviction to the Supreme Court but was ordered to begin serving his prison term in April.

WASHINGTON

The economy sank at a pace of 1 percent in the second quar-ter of the year, a new govern-ment report shows. It was a bet-ter-than-expected showing that provided the strongest signal yet that the longest recession since World War II is finally winding down.

The dip in gross domes-tic product for the April-to-June period, reported by the Commerce Department on Friday, comes after the economy was in a free fall, tumbling at an annual rate of 6.4 percent in the first three months of this year. That was the sharpest downhill slide in nearly three decades.

The economy has now con-tracted for a record four straight quarters for the first time on records dating to 1947. That underscores the grim toll of the recession on consumers and companies.

Many economists were pre-dicting a slightly bigger 1.5 per-cent annualized contraction in second-quarter GDP. It’s the total value of all goods and services produced within the United States and is the best barometer of the country’s eco-nomic health.

“The recession looks to have

largely bottomed in the spring,” said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors. “Businesses have made most of the adjustments they needed to make, and that will set up the economy to resume growing in the summer,” he predicted.

Less drastic spending cuts by businesses, a resumption of spending by federal and local governments and an improved trade picture were key forces behind the better performance. Consumers, though, pulled back. Rising unemployment, shrunken nest eggs and lower home values have weighed down their spend-ing.

A key area where businesses ended up cutting more deeply in

the spring was inventories. They slashed spending at a record pace of $141.1 billion. There was a silver lining to that, though: With inventories at rock-bottom, businesses may need to ramp up production to satisfy custom-er demand. That would give a boost to the economy in the cur-rent quarter.

The Commerce Department also reported Friday that the recession inflicted even more damage on the economy last year than the government previously thought. In revisions that date back to the Great Depression, it now estimates the economy grew just 0.4 percent in 2008. That’s much weaker than the 1.1 per-cent growth the government had calculated earlier.

“The GDP revealed that the recession we faced when I took office was even deeper than anyone thought at the time,” President Barack Obama said. “But the GDP also revealed that in the last few months, the economy has done measurably better than we had thought, bet-ter than expected.”

Also Friday, the govern-ment reported that employment compensation for U.S. workers has grown during the past 12 months by the lowest amount on record, reflecting the severe recession that has gripped the country.

After hours of confusion about whether the Cash for Clunkers program had run out of money, it was game on again Friday for car dealers, TV sta-tions and newspapers, who had worried that one of the few bright spots for their industries would end after one week.

Dealers around the coun-try pondered Friday whether to pull ads for the program, which was supposed to have run until November or until the $1 billion initially set aside ran out. The deal — which gives as much as $4,500 for trade-ins if they meet certain conditions — saw so many sales in its first week that the funds already were dwindling.

But the U.S. House moved to approve an additional $2 billion for the program later Friday. While that scenario played out, there was confusion across the country for shoppers, dealers and advertisers.

In Lincoln, Neb., an ad repre-sentative for the Lincoln Journal Star was overheard bemoaning her nightmarish day because all the car dealers were trying

to finish up their big Saturday advertisements — but no one knew what was going on with the program.

In Victor, N.Y., Kitty Van Bortel said she was caught in limbo about whether to pull the plug on rebates at the Ford and Subaru dealerships she owns.

“Honestly, in all my years in the car business, I have never seen such a mess. It’s just unbe-lievable,” she said Friday morn-ing, saying she was locked into her advertising for the weekend, no matter the outcome.

The auto industry is the nation’s biggest advertiser, though it trimmed its first-quar-ter spending by 28 percent to $2.31 billion from $3.22 bil-lion in the same period last year, according to TNS Media Intelligence..

Dealers cut ad spending far more than manufacturers, drop-ping ad purchases 49 percent to $643.9 million in the first quar-ter. Manufacturers trimmed spending by 15.2 percent to $1.67 billion, from $1.96 bil-lion.

Dealers have been hit partic-ularly hard by the auto industry woes, with manufacturers such as Chrysler and GM announc-

ing plans to close thousands of dealerships as they look to cut costs and deal with slumping demand.

The Darrow Auto Group was anxious Friday to see whether the clunker program would con-tinue. The program already has helped sales at its 20 dealers, said Mike Darrow, executive vice president of the Menomonee Falls, Wis.-based company.

Starting last Friday, the com-pany already had spent $40,000 on two weeks worth of televi-sion and radio advertising for the program, which he said was more than what it would spend for a typical promotion because of all the exposure the deal had been getting.

Now with more federal funding likely, it’s possible the marketing will increase to keep fueling demand, Darrow said, though he cautioned it may taper off if inventory can’t keep up.

“The main thing is we’re going to keep it going,” he said. “We’re going to have to see how the month and the week finishes here. I think Monday morning we’re going to have to look at our inventory levels, and see if we need to beef it up.”

LOS ANGELES

Dr. Conrad Murray was in dire financial shape when he signed on as Michael Jackson’s personal physician earlier this year at $150,000 a month.

The Las Vegas cardiologist owed a total of at least $780,000 in judg-ments against him and his medi-cal practice, out-standing mortgage payments on his house, delinquent

student loans, child support and credit cards.

Court records chronicling Murray’s woes in Las Vegas, where authorities searched his home this week as part of a manslaughter investigation into Jackson’s death, might help explain why — beyond the chance to get close to a celebri-ty — Murray seized the chance to keep the pop star healthy through a series of concerts in London.

But more than that, the financial pressures on Murray could help prosecutors estab-lish a motive if he ends up fac-ing charges.

“Here he is, dealing with one of the most famous people in the world. There may have been a great deal of pressure to do what Michael Jackson wanted, give him the drugs he want-ed, treat him the way Michael Jackson wanted to be treated, even if it wasn’t in keeping with medical protocol,” said Steve Cron, a criminal defense attor-ney and adjunct professor at Pepperdine University’s law school.

Authorities investigating Jackson’s death at his rented Los Angeles mansion think Murray gave the star a fatal dose of the powerful anesthet-ic propofol to help him sleep, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Propofol is commonly used for surgery and is not meant as a sleep agent or to be given in private homes. Because of its potency, only trained anesthe-sia professionals are supposed to administer it, and patients are supposed to be constantly monitored.

If prosecutors bring charg-es, Murray’s financial trouble “does potentially provide evi-dence of good motive for finan-cial-based crimes, including prescribing when there is not a medical necessity,” said Rebecca Lonergan, a University of Southern California law profes-sor and former federal prosecu-

tor of health care fraud cases.Murray, 56, has not spoken

publicly since Jackson’s June 25 death. His lawyer, Edward Chernoff, has said the doctor did not prescribe anything that “should have” killed Jackson.

Murray was hired through Jackson’s promoter in May, as his bleak financial picture threatened to worsen.

NEW YORK

Even when their profits dried up and they turned to taxpay-ers to stay afloat, the nation’s biggest banks kept paying huge bonuses. But much of the money went not to top executives but to star traders and salesmen, even as the economy battled through the worst recession in a genera-tion.

The bonuses — including $1 million or more for each of nearly 4,800 bankers at nine of the largest firms — were paid for 2008, along with scores of smaller checks to thousands of rank-and-file employees. But their revelation this week has renewed criticism of companies relying on government aid.

The House of Repres-entatives voted Friday to sharply restrict how Wall Street pays its executives and workers, barring compensation that rewards excessive risk-tak-ing. But the bill only applies to future payments and do not cover the bonuses for last year, revealed in a report by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.

That report, based on infor-mation subpoenaed from the banks, does not identify indi-vidual bonus recipients or their jobs. But it makes clear that a relatively small number of people enjoyed the largest payouts. Experts on Wall Street compensation said that, in many cases, the biggest bonuses went to star pro-ducers, whose work generated substan-tial profits even as their companies were struggling.

“Most of the money doesn’t go to what we usually call executives,” said Alan Johnson of Johnson Associates, a New York compensation consultant to companies including large banks. “It’s going to highly paid production workers.”

At Bank of New York Mellon, for example, none of the company’s top five execu-tives was paid a bonus. But the bank still paid 74 of its worker bonuses of at least $1 million each. Senior executives at Wells Fargo & Co. — which lost $43 billion last year — also did

not pocket bonuses, even as the firm paid bonuses of at least $1 million to 62 of its employees.

The biggest bonus pool was paid out by J.P. Morgan Chase

& Co., where $8.7 billion was dis-tributed, a sum far larger than the $5.6 billion in earnings the bank reported. More than 1,600 Morgan Chase employees took home bonuses of $1 million or more.

Johnson, the pay consultant, said many of the traders and salesmen receiv-ing big bonuses count on the checks for 75 percent of their yearly pay. Those employees have long been paid for individ-ual performance — how many bonds a bond salesman sold and how much money those deals generated for the company — rather than on the overall results that are supposed to be used to set pay for top executives.

Banks have continued to pay even as some lost money, fear-ful a rival will woo their highest producers away.

WASHINGTON

Bowing to populist anger, the House voted Friday to prohibit pay and bonus packages that encourage bankers and traders to take risks so big they could bring down the entire economy.

Passage of the bill on a 237-185 vote followed the disclosure a day earlier that nine of the nation’s biggest banks, which are receiving billions of dol-lars in federal bailout aid, paid individual bonuses of $1 mil-lion or more to nearly 5,000 employees.

“This is not the government taking over the corporate sec-tor,” Rep. Melvin Watt, D-N.C, said of the House action. “It is a statement by the American people that it is time for us to straighten up the ship.”

Aware of voter outrage about the bonuses, Republicans were reluctant in Friday’s debate to push back, even though they voted overwhelmingly against the bill. They said severe restric-tions should apply only to banks that accept government aid. The legislation’s ban on risky com-pensation would apply to any firm with more than $1 billion in assets, including bank hold-ing companies, broker-dealers,

credit unions, investment advis-ers and mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The White House and Senate Democrats haven’t endorsed the measure, leaving its prospects uncertain. The Senate Banking Committee planned to take up the proposal in the fall as part of a broader bill overhauling financial regulations.

“Obviously it has some important things that we think need to become law, and we’ll take a look at the full bill,” White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Friday.

The legislation includes Pres-

ident Barack Obama’s sugges-tion that shareholders get a non-binding vote on compensation packages. It also would prohibit members of compensation com-mittees from having financial ties to the company and its exec-utives, as Obama wanted.

But House Democrats added a provision that would require regulators to issue new guide-lines prohibiting pay packages that encourage “inappropri-ate risks” that could “threaten the safety and soundness” of the institution or “have serious adverse effects on economic con-ditions or financial stability.”

WASHINGTON

Democrats sought to limit increases in the cost of insur-ance sold under a sweeping health care bill Friday as they labored to clear the final com-mittee obstacle to a September showdown on President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority.

Several officials said a last-minute agreement among Democrats on the Energy and

Commerce Committee also included authority for the fed-eral government to negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies for lower drug prices under Medicare.

The changes were part of an intensive effort Democrats have made in recent days to satisfy the con-flicting demands of liberals and con-servatives on the panel. “We have agreed we need to pull together,” said Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., the committee chairman. He said he hoped for a vote by early evening.

Under a draft amendment in circulation, the cost of insur-ance to be sold widely under the bill could not increase by more than 1.5 times the annual rate of medical inflation unless the government said otherwise.

The White House declined to state a position on the changes.

Passage in the committee would clear the way for a vote in the full House as early as September on Obama’s drive to remake the face of health care. The pace is far slower than the White House or Democratic leaders had hoped but still faster than in the Senate.

There, one committee has approved legislation, and bipar-tisan negotiations in a second panel are scheduled to continue next week as three Republicans and three Democrats reach for a deal.

At their core, all the mea-sures under consideration are designed to achieve Obama’s goal of extending health care to millions who lack it while slow-ing the growth of medical costs nationwide. Insurance compa-nies would be required to sell coverage to all seeking it, with-out exclusions for pre-existing medical conditions. The federal government would provide sub-sidies for lower-income families to help them afford policies that otherwise would be out of their reach.

The bills would set up so-called exchanges, in effect national marketplaces where consumers with and without subsidies could evaluate differ-ent policies and choose the one they wanted.

The main expansion of cov-erage would not come until 2013 — after the next presidential election.

The House bill also calls for the government to sell insur-ance in competition with private industry, a hotly contested pro-vision.

A Republican attempt to strip out the government option was turned back on a vote of 31-28, an outcome suggesting that Democrats had a narrow work-

ing majority on a committee with 59 members.

A short while later, on a vote that crossed party lines, abortion opponents failed in an attempt to bar insurance plans that offer abortion services from accepting cus-tomers with govern-ment subsidies. The vote was 31-27.

On Thursday night, the panel agreed on a provision saying the government could neither require nor prohibit abortion services in insurance plans sold in the exchange.

The political stakes are enormous for Obama and the Democrats as they strive to pass legislation that has proven elusive for years. Republicans are overwhelmingly opposed to the approach they chose, and outside groups on both sides of the issue arranged a heavy dose of television advertising over August.

“Let me assure you: There will be a health care reform bill passed, and it will make a big difference in the lives of the American people,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in an inter-view.

But the House Republican leader, John Boehner of Ohio, countered that “Democrats are in for a long, hot summer once they return to their congressio-nal districts, where Americans are lining up in opposition to a government takeover of health care. “

Waxman’s announcement of a series of last-minute chang-es capped a tumultuous peri-od that began more than two weeks ago when conservative and moderate Democrats on the panel sought changes.

Needing their votes, Waxman began negotiations that grew to include Pelosi and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. An agreement at mid-week excluded more businesses from a requirement to offer insurance to their workers and reduced subsidies for lower-income uninsured.

It also swiftly triggered a counter-revolt among liberals, who demanded the subsidies be restored in full.

The final deal accommo-dated them without sacri-ficing the concessions made earlier to the conservatives, and included numerous other provisions.

WORCESTER, MASS.

Little things nagged at Cindy Dion while her son’s girlfriend, Julie Corey, was pregnant: One month Corey said she was four months’ pregnant — the next it was eight. Her due date pushed back drastically as it neared. And Corey suddenly refused to let Dion’s son, Alex, accompany her to the doctor

But Dion put her questions aside when her granddaughter was born last week, and her son couldn’t stop smiling. The family even held a cookout to welcome the child, whom he and his girlfriend planned to name Alida Nevaeh.

Now, the baby is in state cus-tody and Julie Corey — Alex Dion’s on-and-off girlfriend of two years — is in jail on $2 mil-lion bail, accused Thursday of kidnapping an infant that was cut out of her mother’s womb. The mother, Darlene Haynes, was found dead Monday in Worcester. Police have not charged anyone in her death.

Cindy Dion said Friday it’s devastating that she got a chance to hold and love the baby when Haynes never did. She struggles to speak when she considers she might never see the baby she thought was her granddaughter again.

“It’s killing me. I’ve got a hole in my heart,” Dion said before breaking down and weeping.

Dion said Corey was clearly expecting when the family held a shower for her in May. But look-ing back, Dion said, Corey’s behavior during the pregnancy was odd.

She told the family she was four months’ pregnant in April but said she was eight months’ pregnant by the shower a month later. She wouldn’t let Alex Dion accompany her on doctor’s visits after a test indicated the baby might have developmental prob-lems. The baby was originally due in mid-June, but Corey, 35, told the family she was going to have a cesarean section in late July.

Dion said she was set to go the hospital July 24 to be with Corey after the procedure, but Corey called her the night before to say she was about to give birth.

HAVANA

Cuba clicked into crisis mode Friday, postponing a key Communist Party congress aimed at charting a post-Castro future and announcing that its woeful economy is even worse than expected.

Cubans will have to make do with less, top communists suggested, as they insisted the armed forces are strong enough to deal with any unrest.

The island’s top two politi-cal bodies — the Council of Ministers and the Communist Party’s Central Committee — huddled in secret on how to guide Cuba through what President Raul Castro was quot-ed as calling a “very serious” crisis.

Such frank language is uncommon in a country where the state controls all news media, restricts free speech and assembly, and tolerates no organized political opposition. But it’s no secret that the global financial crisis has pounded the desperately poor nation — and

people do not need to be told how tough times are.

“The congress? I don’t care about that. What I want is some-thing concrete,” said high school student Silvia Medina, 17. “We young people want to know what’s going to happen. We want some light on the horizon. We want a better life, where we don’t have to work so hard for so little.”

Officials made clear there would be no tolerance for dissent, pointedly announcing the armed forces are as strong as ever.

“The Central Committee agreed yesterday to support all conclusions and working proj-ects suggested by the National Defense Commission,” read an article in the Communist Party newspaper Granma.

Indefinitely postponing the much-anticipated congress, tra-ditionally held every five years or so, came as central planners

dropped 2009 growth projec-tions from 2.5 percent to 1.7 percent. That’s down from a high of 12.5 percent in 2006 — and from projections as recently

as December that Cuba would grow by 6 percent this year.

By most forms of accounting, per-formance would be even lower, because Cuba counts as output all state spending on free health care and education, as well as the subsi-dized food it gives citizens in month-

ly ration books and other social programs.

Carmelo Mesa-Lago, an expert on the Cuban economy at the University of Pittsburgh, said the island could easily end the year with negative growth. He thinks the cancellation of the congress indicates that Cuban leaders are retrenching to try to prevent debate about structural reforms that could improve the economy.

BAGHDAD

A string of bombings tar-geted Shiite worshippers in the Baghdad area during Friday prayers, killing at least 29 peo-ple in an apparently coordi-nated attack against followers of an anti-U.S. cleric who were blamed for some of Iraq’s worst sectarian violence.

The blasts shattered a recent calm and underscored warn-ings that suspected Sunni insur-gents would step up efforts to stoke sectarian violence as the Americans draw down their forces. Despite the violence, July remained one of the calmest months for Iraqis and the least deadly for American forces.

The largest blast was a car bombing near the al-Shoroufi mosque that killed at least 24 people and wounded nearly 30 in the northern neighborhood of Shaab, a former stronghold of the militia led by Muqtada al-Sadr, whose forces were accused of being behind sectar-ian bloodshed and were routed last year in a U.S.-backed gov-ernment offensive.

The mosque was seized by Iraqi security forces more than

a year ago and has been used as a base after explosives and ammunition were found inside. But worshippers continued to hold weekly Friday prayer services on the street outside. Bloodied prayer rugs and san-dals covered the area after the explosion.

Odai Khalil, a 25-year-old mechanic who witnessed the blast, said the explosives were packed inside a taxi at a nearby parking lot.

“After the explosion, wor-shippers attacked the Iraqi commandos by throwing rocks at them, thinking that they left

the car bomb inside the parking lot, but the commandos started shooting heavily into the air to disperse the people,” he said.

Nearly simultaneous explo-sions struck four other Shiite mosques in Baghdad and south of the capital. Four people were killed and 17 were wounded near the al-Rasoul mosque in the village of Jisr Diyala and one died and six were wounded at the al-Sadrain mosque in the southeastern Zafaraniyah neighborhood. The details and casualty tolls were reported by police and hospital officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to release the infor-mation.

All the mosques were Sadrist except the al-Hakim mosque in Kamaliyah, which belongs to a rival Shiite party.

An al-Sadr aide, Amir al-Kenani, called it a coordinated attack against the cleric’s loyal-ists, blaming al-Qaida in Iraq and political parties trying to undermine the movement. Al-Sadr, who is believed to live in Iran, has ordered a cease-fire and is seeking to position him-self as a political force before national elections in January.

“We demand that govern-

ment reopen the al-Shoroufi mosque so a massacre like this won’t happen again,” al-Kenani said.

In the past, bombings blamed on Sunni insurgents would be followed by mortar attacks and execution-style killings seen as retaliation by the Shiite extrem-ists. U.S. military command-ers have said they are optimis-tic the Shiites will continue to show restraint.

A car bomb also exploded near an outdoor market in a Kurdish area in the disputed city of Kirkuk, killing at least two people, local police officer Brig. Gen. Sarhat Qader said.

WASHINGTON

The U.S. general put in charge of turning around the war in Afghanistan is likely to recommend significant chang-es in the campaign and may include a request for more U.S. forces that the White House is expected to resist.

Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s long-awaited reassessment of the war against Taliban insurgents aims for a trans-formation of the shaky rela-

tionship between U.S. forces and Afghan civilians as troops press a counterinsurgency strategy of clearing and hold-ing populated areas, said offi-cials apprised of the report’s contents.

The biggest change urged in McChrystal’s report is a “cul-tural shift” in how U.S. and foreign troops operate — rang-ing from how they live and travel among the Afghan pop-ulation to where and how they fight, a senior military official in Kabul said Friday.

The latest draft of the

assessment also urges speed-ing up the training of Afghan soldiers and police and near-ly doubling their numbers to roughly 400,000, said a senior defense official in Washington, one of several uniformed and civilian officials who spoke on condition anonymity because the report has not been made public.

TEHRAN, IRAN

President Mahmoud Ahmad-inejad begins his second term next week undermined by a deepening feud with his fellow hard-liners and under assault from a pro-reform opposition movement that has shown it can bring out thousands of protest-ers despite a fierce seven-week-old crackdown.

Ahmadinejad on Friday sought shelter with his top sup-porter, declaring that Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is like a father to him. Ahmadinejad accused his hard-

line rivals of trying to drive a wedge between him and the man who sits at the top of Iran’s clerical leadership and who has final say in all state matters.

On Monday, Khamenei leads a ceremony formally approv-ing Ahmadinejad’s second term, and two days later Ahmadinejad is to be sworn in before parlia-ment, despite opposition claims that he won the June 12 presi-dential election by fraud and that his government is illegiti-mate.

In a sign of the growing chal-

lenge the president also faces from some in the religious estab-lishment, an influential clerical group at the seminary in the holy city of Qom called Friday for the opposition to continue its campaign against the elec-tion results.

A statement on the Web site of the Association of Teachers and Researchers also criticized arrests of protesters and abuses in prisons.

“Reports of inhuman torture are heard every day. They don’t allow funeral and memorial cer-emonies for victims, and unfor-tunately all this is done under the name of Islam,” the group said.

ISLAMABAD

Pakistan’s Supreme Court ruled Friday that the state of emergency former President Pervez Musharraf imposed in 2007 was unconstitutional and declared invalid the appoint-ments of judges he made dur-ing that period.

The decision could lay the groundwork for treason charges against the ex-army chief, and some fear it could cause political tur-moil at a time when

Pakistan is battling a Taliban insurgency. But the court said the ruling — the most severe

against a former military leader — would strengthen democ-racy in a country plagued by repeated military dictatorships.

The 14-member bench that delivered the ruling was led by Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry, whose attempted ouster by Musharraf spurred much of the political turmoil that ultimately led to the strongman’s downfall.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The Steamboat Springs High School hockey team advanced to the second round of the state playoffs for the first time in the program’s history last year.

But as sports mentalities go, that’s not enough.

The team, the coaches and the players want more.

“I think both (assistant coach) Dave (Strang) and I share a commitment to this pro-gram,” Steamboat coach Jeff Ruff said. “We understand the need for more workouts and keeping the focus on improv-ing. The results have spoken for themselves.”

Those results are boosted by summer workouts Ruff and Strang have put together for the past four summers. This

year, the two have held infor-mal workouts from 8:15 to 9:15 p.m. Mondays and 9 to 10 p.m. Thursdays at Howelsen Ice Arena.

The workouts started in early June and run until the beginning of September. They’ve featured players from the high school team, former players, girls on the Steamboat U-18 team, as well as incoming freshmen.

Players from Oak Creek and

Moffat County also have par-ticipated.

“One of our goals is ... to use this summer time to build that level so when our season does roll around we’re right on top of games,” Strang said. “Every game matters. Every game is so critical.”

CINCINNATI

The Cincinnati Reds are find-ing new ways to lose during their recent skid.

David Weathers gave up home runs to Chris Iannetta and

Carlos Gonzalez on consecutive pitches leading off the eighth inning, lifting the Colorado Rockies to a 5-3 win against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night.

Iannetta hit a full-count hanging slider from Weathers (2-3) into the left field seats for his 12th homer of the season to snap a 3-3 tie. Gonzalez followed on the next pitch with a homer into the right-field seats, his second of the season and first in 69 at bats since June 18 to help send the Reds to their 10th loss in their past 11 games. Cincinnati is 3-12 since the All-Star break.

“I just didn’t execute,” Weathers said. “That’s not the first time I’ve done that, and it probably won’t be the last time. The way we’re scuffling, the last thing we need is for me to do that. We’ve found every way there is to lose ballgames. One thing about this team is nobody’s pointing any fingers because they can’t.”

GRAND BLANC TOWNSHIP, MICH.

Tiger Woods shot a season-low 63 on Friday in the second round of the Buick Open and soared up the leaderboard with his best round in relation to par in four years.

Poor putting led to an awful start the previous day in his first tournament since missing the cut at the British Open.

“I took advan-tage of driving on a string again,” he said. “I hit my irons a little better, and I made some putts.”

In relation to par, it was his best

round since he had an 11-under 61 at the 2005 Buick Open. Woods began that tournament with a 71 just as he did Thursday. His last 63 helped him repeat at

the 2007 PGA Championship.Woods was 6 under through

five holes for the best five-hole start of his career.

Michael Letzig (65) had the clubhouse lead at 12 under.

“That probably won’t be the lead at the end of the day,” Wood predicted.

Woods followed up what he called probably the worst putting day of his career with a good

one, helping him go into the weekend at 10-under 134.

He teed off early Friday morning, hitting his first drive 342 yards straight into the blind-ing sun. He went on to a birdie-birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie tear to remove the remote chance he would miss the cut in consecutive events for the first time as a pro.

Woods had to break 70 on Friday to avoid putting himself in danger of missing the cut, but he said that possibility didn’t

enter his mind.“I just wanted to get off to a

quick start and take advantage of the holes you’re supposed to take advantage of,” said Woods, who began the second round on the easier back nine at Warwick Hills. “I birdied a few more than I thought I would.”

John Daly almost hit rock bottom with an 88, one shot off his career-high 89 last year at the British Open, and ended the tournament 20-over 160.

Knowshon Moreno was a no-show, and Champ Bailey a no-go.

Moreno was absent along with fellow first-round draft pick Robert Ayers when the Denver Broncos kicked off training camp Friday under new coach Josh

McDaniels, making them the first rookie holdouts in Denver since running back Tatum Bell showed up late in 2004.

Bailey, the perennial Pro Bowl cornerback who suffered through an injury-filled 2008 season and underwent offseason elbow sur-gery, recently said he was 100 per-cent. But he was held out of the team’s first workout along with defensive tackle Marcus Thomas and safety Renaldo Hill.

McDaniels declined to divulge why they were out, saying it was his policy not to discuss injuries, even on July 31, six weeks ahead of the season.

“They’ll be out here when they’re ready to practice,” McDaniels said.

All three players ran 50-yard sprints before the morning prac-tice.

The Broncos are counting on a bounce-back season from Bailey, whose streak of eight straight Pro Bowls came to a halt after he

missed seven games with a torn groin last season and Denver’s defense unraveled.

Moreno, a running back from Georgia, was the 12th overall pick in the draft, and Ayers, a pass-rusher from Tennessee, was the 18th selection.

“I think every day that they miss hurts their opportunity to create a role on our team, or a big-ger role on our team,” McDaniels said. “Obviously, they’ll have a role. But they’re missing meetings and installations and walkthroughs and practice time and film study and all that stuff. So, we’re eager to have them here.”

In their absence, some other young players made good first impressions on the new coach-ing staff with their first full-pads practice since McDaniels replaced Mike Shanahan during the win-ter.

Second-year running back Ryan Torain made several spec-tacular plays and pass-rushers

Jarvis Moss and Tim Crowder, who are switching from defensive end to outside linebacker in the

Broncos’ new 3-4 scheme, showed they’re a better

fit in this system than they were in the old 4-3 alignment.

One player who returned to practice Friday was recalci-

trant receiver Brandon Marshall, who is unhap-

py with his contract and has asked for a trade. After practic-ing Monday, Marshall sat out two days of workouts with rook-ies and other veterans who were coming off injuries.

On Friday, he delighted the crowd with a series of difficult grabs.

“That was good to see,” slot receiver Brandon Stokley said. “He came out here, I mean, he looked really good.”

“Yeah, he definitely showed up, made some big plays,” McDaniels said. “He’s an explosive guy and it’s a good sign to see him out there running.”

SPORTS

Bailey a no-go at Broncos camp

also serve as the prime skill and technique building blocks for the season.

The sessions usually focus on one skill element of hockey. For instance, a lot of the prac-tices work on 1-on-1 or 2-on-2 situations. Others work on pass-ing, skating, stick handling and positioning.

The camps are essential for Steamboat. Whereas power-house teams from Colorado Springs and Denver often play

in a quasi-high school league in the summer and spring, Steamboat doesn’t have that luxury.

Teams from the Front Range often get more than 20 games in during the offseason, essentially equating to another season.

Although Steamboat will play in a fall club league with some teams from Denver, Vail and Summit, it’s these summer workouts that should go a long way come playoff seeding time.

It’s critical for Steamboat to develop skills in the summer,

so the team can focus on other areas when the winter season begins. Ruff said the workouts allow the team to work on sys-tems, power plays and penalty kills when the first practice of the high school season begins, rather than belaboring the finer points of shooting, skating and passing.

“We’re committed to a suc-cessful program,” Ruff said. “This is all part of what it takes. Other coaches do the same thing and we want to be com-petitive.”

The Colorado Rockies beefed up their injury-riddled bullpen Friday, acquiring left-handed reliever Joe Beimel from the Washington Nationals for two minor league pitchers.

Washington also sent cash to the Rockies to pay for part of Beimel’s contract. The Nationals received right-hand-ed prospects Ryan Mattheus and Robinson Fabian.

It was the second deal the last-place Nationals made Friday. They also sent first baseman Nick Johnson to the Florida Marlins for left-hander Aaron Thompson.

Entering the weekend, the Rockies trailed San Francisco

by a game in the NL wild-card race.

“You don’t get an oppor-tunity to win every year,” Rockies general manager Dan O’Dowd said. “It gives us a legitimate chance to win.”

The Rockies’ relief corps has been thinned by inju-ries, losing lefty Alan Embree to a broken leg earlier this month and then Manny Corpas, who recently underwent surgery to remove a bone spur from his right elbow.

Colorado acquired right-handed reliever Rafael Betancourt from the Cleveland Indians on July 23, using him

as the eighth-inning bridge to closer Huston Street.

The Rockies also recent-ly purchased the contract of promising right-hander Jhoulys Chacin from Double-

A Tulsa to bolster their bullpen.

Beimel will join Franklin Morales as the only lefties in the Rockies’ bull-

pen. Beimel was 1-5 with one save and a

3.40 ERA in 45 appear-ances with Washington this season.

“He has a lot of versatil-ity,” O’Dowd said. “We think he’s a very good left-handed reliever in the bullpen if used properly. He has a chance to be a valuable part of the group we’ve got down there.”

CARMEL, IND.

Tennessee amateur Tim Jackson left Greg Norman and Joey Sindelar behind Friday in the U.S. Senior Open.

The 50-year-old Jackson real estate developer shot a 5-under 67 at Crooked Stick to take the lead at 11-under 133 — match-ing the lowest 36-hole total in event history. He opened with a 66 on Thursday, the best score ever by an amateur in the tour-nament.

Norman stumbled early in the round, but recovered nice-ly, ending the round with two straight birdies to get to 8 under.

He was three strokes back after a 70.

Sindelar was a stroke behind Jackson. He started on the back nine and followed his course-record 66 with a 68. A birdie on No. 6 gave Sindelar a share of the lead, but he dropped a stroke on the next hole and fin-ished the day by pulling a 5-foot birdie putt that would have tied Jackson to the left.

Fred Funk (67) was third at 9 under. He led briefly Friday before Jackson had three straight birdies on the back side. Three-time U.S. Open champ Hale Irwin was the only other player with a 67 in the second round.

He was 1 over.Jackson has been the steadi-

est player in the first two rounds with 12 birdies and only one bogey. He made four straight birdies Thursday and had three in a row Friday. He also consis-tently outdrove playing partners Jeff Klein and John Harris, rou-tinely hit greens and putted well.

Jackson wasn’t the only player scoring well on the 7,316-yard course, the longest in tourna-ment history.

Dan Forsman (71) eagled No. 9 and birdied his final hole to go to 7 under.

Robin Freeman, who shot a 70 Thursday, made up three strokes by the turn and finished with a 68 to join Tom Lehman

and Bruce Vaughn at 6 under.Senior British Open champi-

on Loren Roberts, former PGA Championship winner Bob Tway and 2007 Senior Open champ Brad Bryant were in a group at 5 under. Tom Watson and defend-ing champion Eduardo Romero were 1 under.


LYTHAM ST. ANNES, ENGLAND

Catriona Matthew, of Scotland, hit a hole in one in a 5-under 67 Friday to share the second-round lead with Giulia Sergas, of Italy, at the Women’s British Open.

Sergas also shot 67 after mak-ing five birdies five on the back nine. Both players totaled 3-under 141 at Royal Lytham and St. Annes links course.

“I like them. They have per-sonality,” Sergas said about links courses. “They are not boring, but you have to accept the bad bounces. You have to play them aggressively. If you don’t, they will eat you up.”

Matthew eagled the 11th and followed up with an ace on the 12th. She then made four more birdies against a lone bogey for

a course-record back nine of 7-under 30.

“It was certainly easier than yesterday,” Matthew said, refer-ring to less wind. “This was one of my best nines. It may have been easier, but you still have to make shots.”

Yuko Mitsuka (71) was a shot back in third. Song-Hee Kim (73) was at 143, a stroke ahead of Yani Tseng (70) and Christina Kim (71).

First-round leader Sandra Gal, of Germany (80), and Angela Stanford (76), who was tied for second Thursday, had disappointing rounds.

Top-ranked Lorena Ochoa dropped all five shots on the front nine before finishing with a 77 at 8 over. But she’s still certain

to make the cut.“At least I played the back

nine in level par. I can take that into tomorrow,” Ochoa said.

Cristie Kerr, the leader of the LPGA money list, jarred her wrist playing out of a divot at the sixth and went for treatment after her round of 71.

“Two rounds in the 60s and who knows,” she said.

Paula Creamer shot 74, and Michelle Wie had a 75. Creamer, who made no birdies in her open-ing 75, had to wait until the 11th hole Friday for her first.

“They were two completely different days with the wind,” Creamer said. “I never got off to the right start with my putter, and it seemed like the hole was this small.

“It was blowing, then it would stop, then it was really windy. It was all over the place.”

RIO DE JANEIRO

Boxer Arturo Gatti’s body was exhumed Friday to allow the Quebec coroner’s office to perform a new autopsy at his family’s request.

The development comes a day after Brazilian police classified Gatti’s death as a suicide.

Until Thursday, police in the northeastern Brazil city of Recife considered it a homicide, with his wife as the prime suspect. Now, police say Gatti hanged himself with a handbag strap from a staircase column more than seven feet off the ground.

Gilles Ethier, deputy chief cor-oner of the western part of the Province of Quebec, said Gatti’s family had retained an American pathologist, who will assist with the autopsy Saturday morning at

the Montreal morgue.“Clearly, it’s necessary for

us to pursue the investigation,” Ethier said. “Of course, it’s a lit-tle more complex for the pathol-ogist because the body has been embalmed.”

Gatti’s Montreal funeral was July 20.

Many of his friends and fam-ily have expressed disbelief at the suicide ruling, and Canadian Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon said in a statement Friday that government officials will seek more information from Brazilian authorities on the Gatti investigation and its findings.

Ellen Haley, a spokeswoman for Main Events, the longtime promoter of Gatti’s bouts, said in a statement “we do not believe that he took his own life.”

She said members of the Gatti family, along with his boxing manager Pat Lynch, will carry

out their own investigation. “We believe that once the results of that investigation are revealed, the truth will come to light and justice will be done,” Haley said.

Gatti’s wife, 23-year-old Am-anda Rodrigues, was released Thursday after being held since July 12 in Recife. She and Gatti arrived with their 10-month-old son a few days before in the resort town of Porto de Galinhas, where they rented a two-level apartment.

“The exhumation does not surprise me at all. It makes perfect sense,” Rodrigues’ attor-ney, Celio Avelino said by tele-phone. “Gatti’s family was first told by police that Amanda had killed him, and now they are saying he committed suicide. Of course, family and friends have doubts and are demand-ing another autopsy — as they should.”

Michael Phelps wouldn’t take the bait. He’ll settle this one at the pool, in the race that really matters, wearing his same ol’ suit.

Milorad Cavic can have the spot-light. For now.

Still convinced he beat Phelps at the Beijing Olympics, Cavic took some verbal jabs at Phelps on

Friday — then took away his world record in the semifinals of the 100-meter butterfly.

“They know I’m a player,” Cavic boasted. “They know I’ve got a great deal of speed.”

Phelps wasn’t too bothered about giving up his record.

He knows the real race is Saturday.

“I try to keep most com-ments to myself to fire me up on the inside,” Phelps said, savor-ing his third gold medal of the championships after leading off for the Americans in the 800 freestyle relay. “I’ve had success doing that in the past, and I’m not about to start making com-ments now. I’ll let the swimming do my talking.”

Cavic takes a different approach. If there’s some-thing on his mind, he’ll say it. He doesn’t really care who he offends — even the guy who won eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics.

After the morning prelims, Cavic said he’s tired of hear-ing complaints from the Phelps camp about competing in an inferior suit, even offering to buy him one of the polyure-thane models responsible for most of the worlds records at the Foro Italico.

In the evening semifinals, Cavic nearly becoming the first swimmer to break 50 seconds, settling for a world record of 50.01 in his speedy Arena X-Glide suit. Phelps was the sec-ond-fastest qualifier at 50.48.

“I didn’t want to go out so fast, but I had so much energy in my body that I couldn’t help it,” said Cavic, who broke Phelps’ mark of 50.22. “I’m capable of swim-ming under 50, which would be enough to win the gold.”

The two will be side by side

tonight in the rematch of their thrilling race in China, won by Phelps by the smallest margin possible — a hundredth of a second.

In that race, Phelps was far behind at the turn and ad-libbed the finish to pull it out, crashing into the wall with an extra half-stroke to beat a glid-ing Cavic.

The Serbian still thinks he got there first but wasn’t credit-ed with the win because Phelps put more pressure on the touch-pad. Whatever the case, Phelps knows he must be much closer at the end of the first lap if he wants to have any chance of catching Cavic on the return.

“The biggest thing I’ve got to do is go out with him and try not give him too much open water,” Phelps said.

No need to worry about a Michael Phelps boycott.

Swimming’s governing bo-dy will ban record-breaking bodysuits beginning Jan. 1, a move that comes partly in response to a threat from Phelps’ coach to pull his swimmer from competition until the suits are outlawed.

“It’s going to be cool come Jan. 1 to be able to have all of us pretty much wearing the same suit,” Phelps said Friday after swimming the leadoff leg as the Americans broke the world record in the 800 freestyle relay.

“All of this is going to be fin-ished, and then we’re going to be able to talk about swimming again, not suits.”

Earlier this week, FINA announced a ban but said it might not come into effect until April or May.

“Now, without a doubt, the rules are applying Jan. 1, 2010,” FINA executive director Cornel Marculescu said Friday. “The manufacturers are ready and can begin (suit) submissions Nov. 1 or before.”

The comments from Phelps’ coach, Bob Bowman, came immediately after the swimmer

was upset by unheralded Paul Biedermann, of Germany, in the 200-meter freestyle Tuesday. Biedermann wore a 100 percent polyurethane Arena suit, while Phelps stuck with last year’s Speedo LZR Racer, which is less than half polyurethane. This year suits from Italian manu-facturers Arena and Jaked are considered faster.

Last year, Phelps and others wearing the LZR profited from its increased speed. Under the new rules, it, as well as the Arena and Jaked suits, will be banned. Men will be restricted to suits that extend from the waist to the top of the knees; women’s suits cannot go past the shoulders or beyond the knees.

LONG POND, PA.

Tony Stewart won at Pocono Raceway this season from the rear of the field. He gets to try it this time from the pole.

Rain washed out Sprint Cup qualifying Friday, putting Stewart on the pole and giv-ing the points leader a shot at sweeping the races on the trian-gle track from worst and first.

“You don’t have to be on the pole to win here,” Stewart said. “It’s obviously a lot easier if you can start up front and don’t have to pass 42 cars to get there. It’s not a deal-breaker if you have to start 43rd. We proved that last time.”

Qualifying for the June’s race at Pocono also was rained out and Stewart was awarded the pole. He wrecked the next day in

practice, forcing him to the back of the field. Smoke responded with his first Cup points race victory as owner/driver.

Stewart holds a 192-point lead in the points standings against last week’s winner Jimmie Johnson.

“I don’t know how I could ask for any more,” Stewart said. “I’d love to have five wins like Mark (Martin) has, but other than that, I’m extremely satis-fied with what we’ve done.”

Stewart’s win at Pocono made him the first owner/driver to win a race since Ricky Rudd at Martinsville in 1998.

Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch and Carl Edwards round out the top five. Denny Hamlin, Stewart’s teammate Ryan Newman, Kasey Kahne, Martin and Juan Pablo Montoya complete the

top 10.Only 43 teams are at the

track, so every car qualifies for Sunday’s race.

“I feel like we had a real-ly good car for qualifying,” Johnson said. “Second isn’t bad at all, but I feel like we had a shot at the pole today.”

The steady rain late in the afternoon wiped out the second practice session.

“Does it rain here all the time like this?” Edwards said.

Edwards won the race here last August after waiting out a 41-minute red flag because of, yup, rain. He hasn’t won a Cup race this season after taking the checkered flag nine times last year. Still, Edwards is a comfort-able fifth in the Chase for the championship standings and is a near lock to compete for his first championship in the final 10 races.
