THE UPDATE

The crowd in Aspen was revved up for the U.S. Women’s Ski Team and, in par-ticular, for World Cup overall champion Lindsey Vonn.

But, the U.S. Ski Team says, a trouble-some rock on the course threw the Vail powerhouse off kilter and she was un-able to make the top 30.

“I hit a rock about halfway down and my right foot just wasn’t holding any-more. I slid out about four times,” Vonn

said. “I was just trying to make it down, and I was laughing at myself because of how big of a tool I looked like. On this pond ice, you really have no chance un-less you have a sharp edge.”

She waved to a group of young girls

No road texting starting TuesdayDrivers under 18 banned from talking while driving, as well

Starting Tuesday, it becomes a crime in Colorado for driv-ers under the age of 18 to use any cell phone — handheld or not — while driving. It also becomes illegal for any driver to text or e-mail while behind the wheel.

The state’s new regulations now match Eagle County’s traffic laws, approved last summer.

“This brings us up to those state standards on which we’ve been lagging,” said Eagle County Sheriff Joe Hoy.

Spelunker to remain sealed in cave

A Utah cave’s narrow crevice that trapped and eventually killed a medi-cal student will become his final resting place, and the dangerous cavern will be permanently sealed.

State and county officials said Fri-day that any effort to recover the body of 26-year-old John Jones from the cramped passage would be too danger-ous.

Jones, of Stansbury Park, died just be-fore midnight Wednesday — about 28 hours after getting wedged in a tight, unmapped passage with his head at an angle below his feet. Workers had tried feverishly to free him from the shaft about 100 feet below the surface and about 400 feet from the cave’s en-trance.

Jones was trapped in a vertical shaft about 18 inches wide and 10 inches high within the 1,500-foot Nutty Putty cave, located about 80 miles south of Salt Lake City.

A “Herculean effort” to free him was limited by the cramped space, leaving one rescuer chipping away rock with a ball-peen hammer just six inches to swing, said Sgt. Tom Hodgson, coordi-nator for Utah County’s search and res-cue operations.

Weibrecht takes 12th after starting 62nd at Lake LouiseFirst-year A-teamer earns ‘one to watch’ status

Maybe the guy to keep your eye on at this week’s Birds of Prey and throughout the Olym-pic season is Andrew Weibrecht, 23, of Lake Placid, NY.

Through heavy snow on a difficult Lake Lou-ise downhill course, the up-and-comer charged from the 62nd start position to finish 12th in Saturday’s World Cup race.

“I had a good run. I just hammered, skied clean, hit all the spots in the line and maybe got some good light before I went,” Weibrecht said. “I’ve never had a whole lot of success at Lake Louise. It’s not a track I like all that much, so it was great to get a good one in out here.”

Lake Louise is the first downhill of the World Cup season, followed by Beaver Creek. Swit-zerland’s Didier Cuche won the race, marking his 11th World Cup victory. Rounding out the podium was Italy’s Werner Heel, who finished second, and Carlo Janka of Switzerland in third.

Men’s Alpine Head Coach Sasha Rearick was impressed that Weibrecht was able to come from the back of the pack to finish 12th.

“Andrew skied fantastically. He was very ag-gressive from top to bottom. He had a bobble on the bottom flats, but besides that it was great skiing from the back,” he said.

Unfortunately, the day was spoiled for much of the team as TJ Lanning was injured in a crash. Team Medical Director Richard Quincy says Lanning suffered an injury to his left knee. He was evacuated by helicopter from the course to a clinic at the base of the mountain for pre-liminary observation and was transported to a hospital in Banff for further evaluation.

“What happened to TJ is a bummer. He’s one of my really good buddies, so it definitely put a shadow over everything,” Weibrecht said.

Following Weibrecht for the U.S. was Bode Miller in 29th and Jeremy Transue in 50th.

The men move on to super G racing on Sun-day. Racing will be live on UniversalSports.com as well as Universal Sports TV, Comcast channel 250 starting at 11:15 a.m.

— The U.S. Ski Team Press Office contrib-uted to this report


Editor’s note: This is the first in a series of brief bios of the U.S. Ski Team men heading into the Birds of Prey World Cup event in Beaver Creek this week. Check out Tuesday’s Vail Mountaineer for another skier profile.

Andrew Weibrecht really stepped it up in 2009, secur-ing a spot on the United States ‘A’ Team.

His season was highlighted by an 11th place finish at the infamous Kitzbuehel super G and a 22nd at the Hahnenkamm downhill, his first-ever opportunity to race at the famously treacherous venue.

In only his second season traveling full-time with win-ter’s “White Circus,” Weibrecht, was a member of the 2009 World Championships Team and scored points at Val Gardena and Wengen.

A World Cup podium, a spot on the 2010 U.S. Olympic Team and another completed semester of school at Dart-mouth are up next on his radar, the U.S. Ski Team says.

Weibrecht secured his “one to watch” status when he provided one of the most exhilarating downhill runs of the 2007 Birds of Prey. (Search YouTube “Weibrecht’s Crazy Ride Down Birds of Prey”)

Thanks for all your comments on my story last week of the time I spent in the Yukon logging camp. Some wondered if Jacque and I kept in contact after I saved his life by stopping his foot from bleed-ing, and if we became friends. We did become friends but have since lost contact. I think of him often, though, and I’m sure he thinks of me while rubbing the stump of his foot on cold nights.

Also in last week’s column, I mentioned how I frequent Minturn to pan for gold. I used to pan for gold as a way to connect with ge-

ology and make a few dollars, but I understand the activity is becoming more popular in America as the economy is slow to recover. I’d like to share some tips on the process, but I won’t tell you where in Minturn because I don’t want the area to be stripped. Minturn has a rich history of mining.

The process of panning is quite simple, but you’ll have a better rate of success if you follow a few guide-lines and have patience. The overall process is to use a pan to concentrate heavy materials into the bottom and separate them from the lighter material. If you’re lucky, you might be left with some gold particulate as gold is very dense.

The supplies you will need is a bucket, a screen, a turkey baster, and a pan. When looking for a good spot to start panning, consider that you want shallow water that moves at a swift enough rate to move water through your pan, but not too swift. Use a screen of some sort to limit what goes into your bucket, with at least a ¼ inch screen or smaller. This will be fitted over your bucket so that you limit the size of the ma-terial your working with. Once you have some mate-rial in your bucket of a particular size, you can fill your pan ¼ to ½ full of the material and submerge the pan in the running water and swirl it around to remove some of the lighter particles. After repeating this slowly several times you will notice that you are

left with denser material that tends to be black sand. While swirling, break up any chunks of dirt or clay.

Continue this process of swirling with more water, and try to only wash a little material out each time. The trick is to keep the mixture in a semi-liquid state so that the gold can sink to the bottom. If you try to get lots out, you will lose the potential gold as well. If you start see-ing flecks of gold, then you may need a turkey baster to suck them out of the mix. If you don’t already have one or yours is still clogged with grease from your Thanks-giving game; probably the first place anyone would tell you to go pick one up is from the Chinese at Wal-Mart. The Chinese actually manufacture things, like turkey basters, and sell them, which is another reason I pan for gold while living here in America, as America doesn’t seem to make anything anymore.

Being patient and going slow are the secrets of pan-ning success. Don’t plan on getting rich, but if you are looking to try a new outdoor activity, or you are one of the 15.7 million unemployed Americans, it might be a way to make some quick money. As confidence in the dollar weakens, gold continues to climb in price. Cur-rently an ounce of gold is worth $1,177 or about $44 per gram. I usually keep the gold that I find, since I believe the dollar will continue to decline, and I think that gold is more stable than fiat currency.

Eagle County’s Miller Ranch project won the 2009 Terwilliger Award for workforce housing.

The award comes from the Urban Land Institute’s Terwilliger Center for Workforce Housing. Eagle Ranch is one of four winners of the 2009 award.

The Terwilliger Award is based on a project’s design, construction, market acceptance and the perpetual na-ture of the deed restrictions.

Miller Ranch was one of 40 entrants for the award.Miller Ranch came together when former Coun-

ty Commission Tom Stone brokered a deal for the county to buy out the other partners in the land, then partnered with the Eagle County School District and WECMRD to develop workforce housing, schools

and recreational facilities.“Former Eagle County commissioner Tom Stone was

instrumental in championing a public-private partner-ship at Miller Ranch,” said Alex Potente, Eagle Coun-ty’s current housing director.

Current County Manager Keith Montag was the county’s community development director at the time the project was conceived and constructed. He said the project was one of the most rewarding of his tenure.

The ULI Terwilliger Center for Workforce Housing was established by J. Ronald Terwilliger, chairman of Trammell Crow Residential. It honors efforts to expand housing opportunities for working families.

With all the recent talk about Lindsey Vonn, Sarah Schleper and Julia Mancuso, we thought it might be a good idea to take a look at whom we might be talking about in the world of women’s ski racing in 2014.

It turns out we didn’t have to look too far.Ski and Snowboard Club Vail’s Abby Ghent, 17,

is skiing fast – according to Coach Dan Stripp, fast enough to get herself a spot on the U.S. Ski Team this year.

“For sure, the U.S. Ski Team is in her sights. We’re shooting a little higher than the Development Team. I think the Development Team is well within her grasp; we’re really shooting for the C Team this year,” Stripp said. “The important thing for us is to keep her confi-dence up going into these Nor-Ams.”

Ghent has two Nor-Ams coming up this week, a Sla-lom at Loveland and a GS at Aspen.

She says slalom is a newfound love for her. “I just started skiing really well in Slalom. It’s not necessar-ily harder than all the other events, but, personally, it’s been a struggle for me in the past, so it’s been fun that I’m skiing well in it now.”

She is hoping to make “Flip 30,” which means that she finishes in the top 30 for her first run. The running order for the second run is then flipped, so that the girl who finished in 30th position gets the advantage of ski-ing first in her second run.

This would be a huge advantage that would help Gh-ent reach her ultimate goal for the races, that is, to fin-ish in the overall top 20.

Ghent has been training at Golden Peak for the last month or so, which has been a huge asset to her early season prospects. With improved snowmaking and in-frastructure, the Ski Club Vail kids have had some of the best early season training anywhere in the world. It’s been so good the A-team has stopped by to run some GS.

“The training has been so awesome! We don’t have to wake up even earlier to go over to Loveland and Copper and ski with fifty other clubs, which is crazy.” Ghent said.

Ghent seems to be focused on her skiing right now and not so much on the numbers game that too often consumes young racers. When asked what her points are, she said, “Oh, my points? I haven’t looked at those in a while.”

She said working with Coach Stripp gives her a lot

of confidence.“Dan’s awesome. He’s really great because he un-

derstands us, and the fact that he’s been coaching us for a while is good because for our first couple ‘abil-ity years’, we didn’t have a consistent coach. Now that Dan’s been my coach for a while, it’s working out re-ally well.”

She’s working on some really simple technical things, working on her knees coming into the turn, so she doesn’t slide the turn in the beginning, allowing her to engage her edges better in the top part of the turn, Stripp said.

“She’s got an awesome attitude. She works hard and works really well with all of us. And she listens, which is always nice,” he added.

Ski and Snowboard Club Vail’s Abby Ghent has the U.S. Ski Team in her sights, a goal that’s “well with-in her grasp,” says coach Dan Stripp. Avery Cunliffe photo.

The top three racers in each of the 2009 Audi Birds of Prey World Cup competitions had best clear some prime wall space at home as Missouri photographer Rob Westrich has selected a set of dramatic limited edi-tion raptor prints to serve as their official trophies. Westrich is owner and operator of Westrich Pho-tography, one of St. Louis’ most respected and prolific photo studios. It was started by his father in 1947 and the younger Westrich reportedly took his first photos at the age of two, albeit mostly of kneecaps and furniture legs. By the age of 15, he was working professionally within the family business. For the Audi Birds of Prey events, he has chosen a shot of a Golden Eagle for the race winner, a Tawney Eagle for the second place finisher and a Bald Eagle for the third place competitor. Following the races, a plaque with the racer’s name, place and event will be added to the photo matting and the finished piece will be shipped to the individual winners. “Mr. Westrich’s photos are incredible,” offered Mi-chael Imhof, Vice President of Sales and Operations for the Vail Valley Foundation, “and I can guarantee that they will be extremely coveted reminders of the athletes’ success at the Audi Birds of Prey. They are very striking and very personal.” Westrich’s decision to undertake The Raptor Se-ries was spawned by a chance encounter with a South American White Hawk named “Ivory” at a fundraising event for the World Bird Sanctuary. “The attraction to this magnificent bird was pow-erful and instantaneous,” explained Westrich. “I im-mediately began conjuring up ideas for capturing this raptor photographically and I couldn’t imagine not at-tempting this project. Yet I never knew that this desire to share the beauty of this single bird would evolve into such an extensive project.” One bird led to another and the series was born.

Westrich allowed himself the latitude to take the im-ages wherever the birds led him and the result is a col-lection of portraiture of which he is extremely proud. In addition to the Audi Birds of Prey trophies, Westrich’s Raptor Series photographs will also be on display in the World Cup registration area on the main level of Beaver Creek’s Gerald R. Ford Hall. He has donated a 50”x 43” handsomely framed version of the gold medal Golden Eagle print for auction at the annual Black Diamond Ball on Friday evening. The print is Number One in a limited edition of just 50 prints of-fered worldwide. For more information on Rob Westrich and Westrich Photography, visit www.westrichphoto.com.

Colo. acts against 10 foreclosure-rescue firms

Ten more loan-modification firms have agreed to comply with Colorado laws or be barred from doing business in the state.

Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said Tues-day that the companies, nine of which are based outside Colorado, were accused of engaging in deceptive ad-vertising or of collecting fees from Coloradans facing foreclosure without effectively modifying their loans.

Suthers’ announcement coincided with the Federal Trade Commission’s announcement Tuesday of a mul-tistate sweep targeting mortgage relief scams. Suthers’ office has taken action against a total of 17 firms this year in the crackdown.

In Colorado, only mortgage brokers or attorneys li-censed in Colorado can perform loan modifications.

Brush Creek Village, located in the heart of Eagle, offers high quality living at a reasonable price.

With easy access to great natural and municipal amenities, there are currently seven townhomes and two duplexes available in the village. The project was originally approved for 88 homes; 38 have been built so far.

The Village is located within walking distance of world-class mountain biking and hiking trails, the town’s ice rink, tennis courts, and swimming pool and the Eagle Ranch Golf Course.

The developer, Wynton Homes, wanted to emphasize the amount of “green space” surrounding the homes, which gives the development a strong community feel. The property looks great with quality landscap-ing throughout. And its open design offers plenty of space for outdoor get-togethers and for kids and dogs to play.

The homes are each Built Green certified, which means they were constructed with high quality, envi-ronmentally conscious materials that ultimately saves homeowners on energy costs.

The Green Built considerations include better insula-tion, Energy Star appliances, and energy efficient fur-nace and energy saving windows, all of which had to be certified by an independent energy consultant who conducted “blower door test” to gauge the efficiency of the homes.

The developer also partnered with the town of Eagle to gain access to Brush Creek for water irrigation to keep the aforementioned “green space” well irrigated.

Wynton Homes agreed to build all the infrastructure and water pipes for the town’s future soccer fields not far from the development.

Inside, all the homes are finished with granite slab countertops, stainless steel appliances and knotty alder cabinetry.

The units are three and four bedrooms. Many of the homes also have basements, which the developer is willing to finish at cost.

The Brush Creek Village’s home owners association takes care of everything from landscaping to snow re-moval and maintenance of the homes.

The Homes range in price from $369,000 for a town-home to just over $500,000 for a duplex.

Iran may no longer face U.N. oversight

A conservative Iranian legislator warned Saturday that his country may pull out of the Nuclear Nonpro-liferation Treaty after a U.N. resolution censuring Teh-ran — a move that could seriously undermine world attempts to prevent Iran from developing atomic weap-ons.

Iran’s official news agency quoted a hardline politi-cal analyst who made the same point, another indica-tion the idea could be gaining steam.

If Iran withdraws from the treaty, its nuclear program would no longer be subject to oversight by the U.N. nu-clear agency. That in turn would be a significant blow to efforts to ensure that no enriched uranium is diverted from use as fuel to warhead development.

The lawmaker’s threat came a day after the board of the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency passed a resolution demanding Tehran immediately stop build-ing its newly revealed nuclear facility near the holy city of Qom and freeze uranium enrichment.

“The parliament, in its first reaction to this illegal and politically-motivated resolution, can consider the issue of withdrawing from the NPT,” Mohammad Karamirad was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agen-cy, referring to the treaty. “The parliament ... (also) can block the entry of IAEA inspectors to the country.”

Former gold mine becomes Summit County

open spaceA former gold mine near Copper Mountain is now in

the hands of Summit County after years of open-space negotiations.

The county bought the 129-acre mine for $900,000. The land in an area called Mayflower Gulch was bought from Florentine Vantine, of Florida, who owned the land but orginally wanted $4 million for it.

County officials say they’ve been working since 2002 to acquire it.

Vantine says the site still hold valuable gold and sil-ver. But the state mining permit was retired as a condi-tion of the sale.

Bernard Birnbaum dies at 89

CBS News producer Bernard Birnbaum, who helped shape the public’s view of issues ranging from poverty to the Watergate scandal while working alongside Wal-ter Cronkite and Charles Kuralt, has died, the network said.

Birnbaum died on Thanksgiving Day at Stony Brook University Medical Center in Stony Brook, N.Y., after having a heart attack while visiting relatives nearby, CBS News said in a statement Saturday. His death had been announced on the network news broadcast Friday. He was 89.

Birnbaum’s CBS career won him seven Emmy Awards and took him to places ranging from Vietnam to the small-town America seen in “On the Road with Charles Kuralt.”

He and Kuralt first joined forces on the acclaimed 1964 documentary “Christmas in Appalachia,” about unemployed miners in Kentucky. Released as President Lyndon Johnson mobilized his war on poverty, the pro-gram spurred $70,000 in unsolicited donations for the families it featured.

As a producer for “The CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite” and other programs, Birnbaum cov-ered the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the Vietnam War and Watergate in depth.

Body found at Grand Canyon

Officials at Grand Canyon National Park say a man’s body has been found 200 feet below the canyon’s South Rim.

Park spokeswoman Maureen Oltrogge says the park’s communication center began getting calls Saturday af-ternoon about a man spotted over the edge in an area between Mather Point and Pipe Creek Vista, east of the South Rim Village.

She says rangers rappelled down to the man’s body and prepared it for transport out of the canyon via he-licopter. His body will be sent to the Coconino County Medical Examiner in Flagstaff.

Oltrogge says the man was visiting the park with his son, daughter-in-law and other family members. His name was not immediately released.

The death is being investigated by the National Park Service.

W. Neb. deer hunters encounter mountain lionsTwo hunters in western Nebraska’s Pine Ridge area

have had close encounters with mountain lions in the last week.

Todd Nordeen is district wildlife manager for the Ne-braska Game and Parks commission. He says in both cases the cougar showed up after the hunter had either wounded or killed deer.

Nordeen says the hunter with the wounded deer found it being attacked by the lion. He fired again at the deer, killing it and scaring off the mountain lion.

Upon returning from getting field-dressing equip-ment, he found the lion had returned and eaten part of the deer.

Mountain lions are protected in Nebraska. Nordeen says anyone who sees one near their home or livestock needs to contact local authorities or Game and Parks before taking lethal action.

Schwarzenegger’s budget problems hit home

The Internal Revenue Service has filed a federal tax lien against Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for nearly $80,000, public records show, the Los Angeles Times reports.

The lien for $79,064, will be attached to all of his properties, but primarily lists the governor’s home ad-dress in Brentwood.

A lien document posted by TMZ shows Schwarzeneg-ger owes $39,047.20 from 2004 and $40,016.80 from 2005. The document suggests the debt may be penalties for a failure to report certain business transactions.

Schwarzenegger’s spokesman, Aaron McLear, said in a statement that the “governor Gold fell over 1 per-cent from a record high hit earlier on Thursday as the dollar bounced from its lows, but the metal still eyed new peaks due to prospects for central bank buying and further dollar weakness.

Dubai debt crisisDubai’s empty pockets — mostly drained by collaps-

ing real estate prices and over-ambitious development plans — touched off panic selling across world markets on fears that the reckoning from the global recession is not over.

In a surprise announcement Wednesday, Dubai said it seeks a six-month delay in paying creditors on nearly $60 billion in debt held by its main development arm, Dubai World, whose holdings range from port opera-tions around the world, Dubai’s iconic palm-shaped island and the luxury retailer Barneys New York. The next tranche was a $3.52 billion bond due Dec. 14 by Dubai World’s troubled real estate division, Nakheel.

On Friday, the Dow Jones industrial average suf-fered its biggest drop in nearly a month — closing down 154.48, or 1.5 percent, to 10,309.92, in a shorted trading day because of the Thanksgiving break. Asian

In this June 10, 1967 photo released in New York by CBS, CBS News Producer Bernard Birnbaum is seated behind a camera mounted on top of a rifle overlooking Daley Plaza in Dallas, Texas while work-ing a story on the Warren Report. Birnbaum, who worked with Walter Cronkite and Charles Kuralt and helped craft reports on subjects ranging from pov-erty to the Watergate scandal, died on Thursday, Nov. 26, 2009 at a hospital on New York’s Long Island. He was 89. AP Photos/CBS, Ho.

exchanges fell sharply for a second day, but European markets bounced back on confidence the Dubai dam-age would not spread to other Gulf economies.

As world markets absorbed the shock of Dubai’s debt crisis, the ruler of the once-booming city-state left town for an important meeting in a desert palace. His hosts: the leaders of neighboring Abu Dhabi whose balance sheets are flush with oil revenue.

It’s not known what promises were made inside the halls in Al Ain during the parade of visitors for an im-portant Islamic feast day on Friday. But their new rela-tionship is clear. Abu Dhabi has the cash and cache to be Dubai’s white knight — in a Gulf version of a too-big-to-fail bailout or to help calm markets with prom-ises to intervene if Dubai’s fiscal mess deepens.

The direction Abu Dhabi takes will likely set the tone for the coming week as analysts try to sort out what banks and institutions have the most at stake in the money crunch — which has suddenly shifted Dubai’s image from a desert dream factory of indoor ski slopes and a “seven-star” hotel to a reckless spender side-swiped by the recession and unable to pay its bills.

Dollar reboundsGold fell over 1 percent from a record high as the

dollar bounced from its lows.Gold prices fell for the first time in 10 days and as

jitters over debt problems in the Middle Eastern city of Dubai drove the dollar higher and pounded stocks.

Investors grew worried this week that the emirate’s government-backed investment company was in dan-ger of defaulting on $60 billion in debt. The city’s main investment arm said it was seeking more time to repay its borrowings. Overseas markets fell Thursday and Friday. U.S. markets were closed Thursday for Thanks-giving but the Dow Jones industrial average tumbled 155 points in a holiday-shortened session Friday.

The drop in riskier assets like stocks fanned demand for safe-haven investments, including the dollar. Com-modities are priced in dollars and tend to fall when the dollar strengthens because that makes them more ex-pensive for foreign investors.

Gold for February delivery fell $13.10 to settle at $1,755.50 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Ex-change.

Investors have been pumping money into gold look-ing for protection from a falling dollar, which had lost its luster in recent months because record-low U.S. in-terest rates made unattractive returns and because fear had been easing about the global economy.

Video game CSIA North Carolina State University team is adapting

games like FusionFall and VooDude to recreate crime scenes, Reuters reports.

“We’ll be building an easy-to-use interface on top of the game environment that will allow CSIs and other investigators to link locations in the crime scene to ex-ternal sources of data, such as hair and fiber databases, fingerprint images, and investigator notes,” one profes-sor tells Reuters.

The adaptable video game technology, developed by Research Triangle Park company 3rdTech, will use laser scans to record room and object dimensions and placement of evidence in a crime scene.

The technology may also allow experts to share in-formation to different states without teams losing time traveling around the country.

Search ends for missing kayaker

A search has ended for a kayaker who has been miss-ing off Oahu.

Honolulu fire crews used jet skis and dive gear to search coastal areas with no success Thursday and then said the hunt was over unless new information be-comes known. The Coast Guard ended its sea search on Wednesday.

Fifty-three-year-old Russell Yoshida of Waialua never returned after setting off for a fishing trip at his favorite spot Monday night.

The two agencies starting looking for him right away and recovered his paddle and fishing pole.

Yoshida was in a 10-foot kayak. He was not wearing a life jacket.

For a man who guards his privacy as closely as Tiger Woods, the re-cent car accident turned media cir-cus is the last thing that the world’s No. 1 golfer wanted.

But, if the dubious allegations by The National Enquirer are true, he asked for it.

This story evolved very quickly from concerns for his condition, to questions of what he was doing at 2:30 a.m., to accusations of in-fidelity. From a police prospective this is still a crash investigation (as opposed to domestic), but when Time Magazine shows up at Tiger’s house, it proves the media melee is on full blast.

The question everyone really wants an answer to is: Did Tiger Woods cheat on his wife with Ra-chel Uchitel?

Uchitel, a 34 year-old brunette, has a reputation for dating married celebrities. Her previous claim to skanky fame was the alleged home-wrecking of Bones star David Bore-anaz, an affair that even continued while his wife was pregnant.

The National Enquirer reported that Woods had an extramarital affair with Uchitel that started in June. According to the Enquirer, one close friend of Rachel’s, Ashley Samson, said, “Rachel told me, ‘I’m having an affair with Tiger Woods. We’re in love!’”

Uchitel denies having an affair with Woods, but admits to knowing

him. Tiger’s attorney also denied an affair, but said the golfer may have been at the same nightclub as Ra-chel at some point.

An affair seems out of character for the world’s No. 1 golfer. The only dirt the media has ever had to go on was his bad temper, so what effect will this have on Tiger? Since he suffered only minor injuries

from the crash, his golfing legacy will likely continue unfettered. But the effect on Tiger Woods’ endorse-ments could be long standing if the rumors turn out to be true -- he may have to settle for $90 million instead of his usual $100 million per year.

Tiger and his wife Elin both de-clined to comment to any media or police on Saturday.

Woods’ nightmare come trueATHLETIC STUFF

By Dean Blazierthegreenblazer.blogspot.com

Tiger Woods reputation is taking a hit following a car crash near his home in Windermere, Fla. Woods was recently accused by The Na-tional Enquirer of having an affair with Rachel Uchitel, left. Although the crash is not being treated as a domestic dispute with wife Elin, right, the rumor mill is stirring as to why Woods was rushing out of his home at 2:25 a.m. and if the facial lacerations he was treated for were actually caused by the crash.

Federer eliminated from ATP World Tour Finals

The world’s No. 1 tennis player Roger Federer was eliminated from the ATP World Tour Finals on Saturday, losing to Nikolay Davydenko 6-2, 4-6, 7-5 in the semifinals.

Federer, who was broken three straight times in the first set, came within two points of winning while leading 5-4 in the third set. But Davydenko held on and then broke Federer to take a 6-5 lead before serving out the win.

“I was a couple of points away, but just couldn’t get it done,” said Federer, a four-time champion at the season-ending event. “He did well. I thought he played strong throughout, even though I don’t think it was our best match we ever played against each other.”

It was the Russian’s first win over Feder-er in 13 matches.

Tim Tebow’s perfect season is beginning to look like a foregone conclusion.

Tebow accounted for five touchdowns in his home finale, a triumphant farewell that included tears on the field and in the stands, and top-ranked Florida thumped rival Florida State 37-10 Saturday for its sixth consecu-tive victory in the series.

“I don’t want to say goodbye,” coach Urban Meyer

said. “The good thing is we’re not done. The negative is we’re done in this great stadium.”

The Gators stayed unbeaten heading into next week’s Southeastern Conference showdown against No. 2 Ala-bama, extended the nation’s longest winning streak to 22 games and improved to 12-0 for just the second time in school history.

Tebow’s 5 TDs help Gators stay undefeated

TONY HOWARD came in from Colorado Springs this weekend to celebrate the holidays with his beautiful daughters Maya and Maliah. We caught up with them at the Vail tree lighting last night.

KEVIN BULLING and his dog Cami enjoyed the Vail Tree lighting last night, as well.

HE PICKED THE STEELERS to win and also the Bengals. He got only these two teams wrong on his Pigskin Hustle for Week 11. It came down to the final score of the Donkeys. We had 6 people all in line to win $500 dollars, but only one person was closest to the 35 point final. Valley native Jerry Lujan brought it to Pazzos in Avon and brought it good. He is the winner of $500 bucks and gets to shine in the limelight for all this week. Congratulations Jerry and Pazzos in Avon.

holding a Lindsey Vonn poster, saying afterwards, “These guys are out here cheering for me and they don’t care if I came in last place, they’re still cheering me on and that definitely makes me hap-py because today was not my best day.”

Moving on…As far as U.S. ladies go, the day be-

longed to Olympic champion Julia Mancuso, who finished 13th during the GS at the Aspen Winternational World Cup. Germany’s Kathrin Hoelzl won the race.

“I am psyched to get two solid runs in. The second run could have been bet-ter, but I made it to the finish and it feels pretty good,” Mancuso said. “I hope to get back into the top 15. I’m right outside, so hopefully I can get enough points to get in there.”

According to Mancuso, while the course did present some difficulty with light and ski chatter, she is pleased with a result, which is hopefully a harbinger of good things to come this season.

And for Mancuso, it’s all about tomor-row as she looks ahead to the rest of her 2010 season. “It helps a lot just to know

I can charge again and really just go for it. It’s made a big difference because I don’t want to be tentative when I leave the start gate,” Mancuso said.

Following Mancuso for the U.S. was Vail’s own Sarah Schleper who raced with her family cheering her on to fin-ish 23rd. According to Schleper, the Strawpile course presented a lot of chal-lenges for the racers and required a lot of confidence.

“I think I skied the top well and the course was so smooth this time when I went down. But, I went a little too round and I think I was too conservative,” Schleper said.

“The middle section here is so tech-nically demanding. The terrain is so undulating and it’s the iciest part of the course so if you’re not charging and su-per confident it’s really easy to lose time out there.”

Megan McJames also made the second run of the race and was hammering the top of the course during run two when she slid out and did not finish.

pose international arms treaties that gun-rights activists say could lead to domestic limits on firearms.

“We cannot bind them to it, but we have every right to tell them what we think,” Tancredo told The Denver Post. “What I like about this is the debate that will result from having this on the ballot.”

Tancredo filed the proposal last week with a state office that clears ballot language. Supporters of the ballot measure would then have to collect some 76,000 signatures

from valid voters to put the ques-tion on ballots.

The initiative would ask Colo-rado’s state and federal officials to “oppose any proposed international treaty, protocol or other agreement which limits, restricts or impairs the rights of individual citizens to keep and bear arms.”

Tancredo and some other gun-rights activists have expressed alarm over the Obama administration sig-naling that it wants to negotiate new international arms treaties.

Though the administration has not called for any domestic gun-law changes, Tancredo said an interna-tional treaty would be “a pretty slip-pery step to gun confiscation.”

Tancredo recently decided against running for the Republican nomina-tion for governor. He said if Colora-do voters approve the initiative, he plans to take it to other states that allow citizens to put measures on the ballot.

identify texting drivers, or minors talking on their cell phones while behind the wheel.

Death textAlthough it seems insane to some that a law is re-

quired to keep people from texting and talking while driving, a pair of pedestrian deaths would indicate oth-erwise.

Patrick Sims, a Colorado high school senior, killed a 63-year-old man because he was sending a text mes-sage while driving. Nine-year-old Erica Forney in Fort Collins was killed by a driver talking on a cell phone.

“The convenience of having a cell phone in a car is not worth my daughter’s life,” said Shelley Forney, Erica’s mom, during a February committee hearing on possible legislation that would restrict Colorado driv-ers from using cell phones.

The state law that goes into effect Tuesday is much less strict than the version several lawmakers originally wanted to pass. At first, lawmakers wanted a sweeping ban on talking on a hand-held cell phone for all drivers. They wanted to restrict all conversations to hands-free devices.

Drunk dialingMotorists who talk on handheld or hands-free cellu-

lar phones are as impaired as drunk drivers, according to a study by University of Utah psychologists.

“We found that people are as impaired when they drive and talk on a cell phone as they are when they drive intoxicated at the legal blood-alcohol limit,” says study co-author Frank Drews, an assistant professor of psychology. “If legislators really want to address driver distraction, then they should consider outlawing cell phone use while driving.”

Hands-free cell phones are just as distracting as hand-held cell phones because the conversation itself – not just manipulation of a handheld phone – distracts driv-ers from road conditions, the study found.

“Just like you put yourself and other people at risk when you drive drunk, you put yourself and others at risk when you use a cell phone and drive. The level of impairment is very similar,” says psychology professor David Strayer, the study’s lead author.

“This study does not mean people should start driv-ing drunk,” says Drews. “It means that driving while talking on a cell phone is as bad as or maybe worse than driving drunk, which is completely unacceptable and cannot be tolerated by society.”
