In the matter of wealth on aplanetary level, we should notoverlook an increase to makegovernments dream: more than 8% isthe percentage increase in the numberof billionaires during 2006. Theyare restless, with Forbes magazinecounting 209 of them in 1998, todaythat is 10 years later, their numberexceeds 1,125.

A challenging illustration of thethesis whereby globalization only

benefits occidentals, the club of vastfortunes receives new individuals

broadly. We see a triumph ofdiversity: 4 out of the 8 richestpeople of the planet are Indians,others include Russians, Turks, Polesand Brazilians thus encroaching ona roster traditionally dominated byAmericans. Following the evolutionof capitalism, the robber baronsof finance, media, real estate andtechnology have substituted for

the oil kings and industry captains.Even the Persian Gulf monarchiesare undertaking a diversification toinclude the entertainment sector.

In evoking the fate of the richin 1848, then French Prime MinisterLouis-Adolphe Thiers was moved:the rich is neither cold nor hungry,that is true. He is sated, yet lookat his worried face. Everything

burdens him, since fortune must be maintained, increased andtransmitted. Fortune reproducesitself in public schools where thepre-selected thoroughbreds spintheir web of networking and definetheir pre-planned destiny at the tip of

scholarly merit.Fortune grows thanks to the

State, when public hegemonytransfers its largess to the privatesector, deregularizes finance whileallowing a shift in power towardscapitalist barony which it has helpedto create in first place. Fortune finallyprospers when right and left agrees

on allowing free market forces thetask of allocating all wealth underheaven and on earth.

In a number of occidental countries,the share of salaries of wage earnersin the Gross National Product hasconstantly dropped since the lateseventies. Simultaneously, upper tax

brackets on income were slashed by half sometimes by three times.For such a fiscal shield to replace,without a snag, social protection ingovernmental priorities, the successof intellectual sapping obliges. Theaim is to justify the reverse side ofgreat fortunes, as inequalities appearat the poorer end of the spectrum.

The rich meanwhile buildmuseums, write checks to confoundedartists, vaccinate African children,succor the widow and foster thefatherless: who would doubt the socialutility of the rich? The philanthropicflick is such to cover and legitimize a

grip upon world affairs, and justifya balance of power which, for threedecades, has weighed heavily infavor of capitalists.

Indeed, they are the oneswho impose low salaries andunemployment, both at the originof poverty and divisions amongpopulations. They are the ones toinvest here and restructure there, tospeculate on the price of wheat whenthe stock index is down, worrying theleast about salaried employees andhollow stomachs. It is the capitalistswho monopolize downtowns andevict those insolvent inhabitants. Itis they who promote a consumption

profile harmful to the environment.Not to mention their influence

on public affairs, especially duringelection campaigns, similar to theone currently underway. Good luck,therefore, in all their endeavors nextNovember.

Did you know that getting a hair cutcan change your whole look? Especiallyduring the winter months when it iscold and cloudy outside you may lookin the mirror and feel you look draband tired. You may be wishing youlook as young as you feel. Through theartistry of getting the right hair cut it

can accomplish all of these wishes.A few years ago Dr. Fleming and Dr.

Meyer asked me to do the hair cuts ontwo men. By analyzing the mens facialfeatures and the structure of the head Iwas able to give a hair cut that not onlymade the men feel like they had morehair but it actually made them lookyounger. Those photographs are onmy web site www.adamolentini.com.

How is the technique that I use onthese men applied to women of vary-ing ages? How can a hair cut makethe woman look sexy, young, trendy,elegant, attractive, and vibrant? Asa woman gets older as a general ruleshe does not look good with long hair

because it makes the facial featureslook harsher. In creating a hair cut, I

look at the womans hair as she is wear-ing it when she comes in. I have to seeif there are areas of her present hair cutthat is too short or which areas are toolong. Then I analyze her facial featuresand see which area I can open up andmake more visible and what facialfeatures need softening. In creating ahair cut, the goal is to create harmonyand balance. Through creating theright hair cut the clients face will lookbrighter, as if she had a face lift. Whata great way to enter into spring withthe right hair cut that makes you feelsvibrant and a live.

The Healing Project was born outof one womans vision of the com-munity that needed to be formedafter she received her diagnosis of

breast cancer. It started with Debra

La Chance with her isolation andthe loneliness she felt real emotionsin spite of having close, supportivefriends, the deep love of her twinsister and family. It started withthe numerous questions she had, herfears, a wrong pathology report, doc-tors, denial, surgery, drugs. She real-ized that other women went throughsimilar feelings back and forth, upand down and they, like she, neededto take control of the situation inorder to make the important choices,or as La Chance notes, To makechoices you can live or die with.

In this way, from her own experi-ence, she created The Healing Projectand collected stories from women, ahusband who lost his wife to breastcancer, another man about to cel-ebrate his 40th birthday and missinga mother who had died of breastcancer and finding a small lump inhis own breast, several doctors, aand molecular biologist. All tell theirstories interwoven with importantmedical information. Peggy Flemingtells her breast cancer survival storyas well.

This is a remarkable book of voic-es more than 50 of them and notat all depressing to read. It is pos-sible that each of us knows someonewho has been diagnosed with breastcancer or we know someone who

knows someone who will want toknow about this powerful healing

book with its amazing stories thateveryone will relate to.

La Chance Publishing donates100% of its profits to The HealingProject (www.thehealingproject.org),a non-profit organization dedicat-ed to the education and support ofthose living with life-threatening andchronic illnesses, their family mem-

bers and caregivers.VOICES OF BREAST CANCER

Its not easy being green, theMuppet Shows Kermit the Frog fre-quently opined, and the current rushto undo the environmental mistakesof the past can be daunting at times.Take heart that choosing a more plan-

et-friendly mode of transportationhas been made much easier by thefolks at Scion.

When we first saw one of the boxy little Scion xBs on the streetwe couldnt help but think, Thatsthe perfect car if you live in the LegoVillage. Upon closer inspection, thevehicle that dares to be square is aperfect car for those who live in theglobal village known as Earth. True,it still burns gasoline but it doessomuch more conscientiously.

One thing we liked was its price.The model we tested had a total priceof only $16,854. Even better, the xBgets good gas mileage delivering 22

mpg in the city and 28 mpg on thehighway. Not surprisingly, the littleScion rates well for emissions, earn-ing the EPAs Smart Way designation.The 2.4-liter, 16-valve four-cylinderengine develops 158 horsepower at

6,000 rpm and 162 ft.-lb. of torque at4,000 rpm.

Though it's not too expensive, itstill comes with a wide array of tech-nology. Saving money makes evenmore sense when you get electricsteering, traction and stability control,ABS, electronic brake-force distribu-tion, as well as brake assist. All thesefeatures make the front wheel drivevehicle easier to control and saferfor children and other precious pas-sengers.

Inside the xB is roomy with easyto read gauges and intuitive controls.The interior surfaces are durable andthe back seats fold down without

moving up the front seats or remov-ing the rear headrests. With the backseats folded flat the little, easy-to-parkcar has 69.9 cu. ft. of cargo space.

It comes in a variety of lovely col-ors, including the Black Berry CrushMetallic of our test model, which is anattractive milk chocolate color with ahint of the deep red of cabernet. Wealso like the gold color that splits thedifference between butterscotch andcaramel.

Another nice feature comes whenyou buy a new Scion; there are 43 dif-ferent choices you make to customizeyour ride all at the standard price.Among those choices are a Pioneer

stereo system and an iPod interfaceon which your MP3 player will soundbetter than ever. It completely mesheswith the device, placing controls onthe car stereo, listing the track playingand charging while it plays.

Sales of the Scion xB have beenphenomenal since its release in 2004 over 600,000 units. They were aimedat the youth market but have sold wellacross generational, gender and raciallines. In fact, Scion sponsors themedevents where owners get together tosocialize in a diverse mix of youngand old, black, brown and white. Notonly that, Car and Driver rated theScion xB as one of the top ten safest

cars under $25,000.In conclusion, the Scion xB is safe,comfortable, environmentally friend-ly and easy to drive, offering the samereliable dependability weve come toexpect from Toyota. This exception-ally practical vehicle deserves evenmore attention than its getting. Itsone of the most fun yet sensible vehi-cles on the road today.

Get Kermit in one of these and hejust might change his tune.***

Summer Youth ActivitiesSchools out, so game on! Summers

here and the city is starting some newefforts to help kids have more thingsto do. In the end, were hoping thatproductive activities will keep kids

safe andgive par-

ents timeto do whatthey needto do.

For thefirst time,all of thecitys poolsand recre-ation cen-ters will befree to kids

this summer. Anyone under the age of18 will be able to visit recreation cen-ters for free anywhere in the city. Wehave also changed and extended thehours of some of our recreation cen-

ters to accommodate metro-Denveryouth.The city is also working with

employers to provide more summerjobs. The Summer Youth Employmentprogram will be placing more than 400Denver kids (ages 14 to 21) in jobs thissummer. In addition, this programwill help hundreds more find jobsthrough job fairs, resume assistanceand other efforts. If you have roomfor a young person in your workplaceor know a young person who mightqualify, please call the Mayors Officeof Workforce Development at (720)865-5700.

In addition to recreation and sum-mer employment, we have been outasking the community about whatkids need most. A coalition of youthorganizations has been working withthe Mayors Office of Education andChildren on a Gathering Voicesproject to find out what young peopleand adults think is most needed to

make Denver a Child and Youth-Friendly City. So far, the group hasgathered ideas from more than 4,000people.

The number one priority identified by over 500 respondents was safe-ty. Close behind were more youth-

serving organizations and programs,more attention to education, parksand open space and places for kidsto go.

What do you think Denver needsto be a great place to raise kids?

Join our Gathering Voices effort andlend us your ideas by sending a let-ter to Assets for Colorado Youth at1580 Logan St., Suite 700, Denver,CO 80203 or visit www.partofthecon-versation.org to provide your ideasonline. Your ideas will help the cityto become more effective in servingyoung people and the community.

After a couple of years wranglingwith the citys economic develop-ment agency to begin a more com-prehensive approach to help sustainsmall businesses and retail develop-ment in Denver, a new effort has beenlaunched: Denvers NeighborhoodMarketplace Initiative debuted lastmonth. Finally, the Office of EconomicDevelopment has launched a fresh,cogent, and small business approachto not only sustain, but grow andanalyze retail business trends inDenvers neighborhoods.

During the city councils annual budget debates a couple of yearsago, Councilmember Jeanne Robband myself began asking about theneed to put more economic develop-ment resources and emphasis intoour citys neighborhoods small busi-ness commercial areas. For example,Northwest Denver has well-known

neighborhood commercial districtsthat have helped to support residen-tial and in retail in West Highlandsand the Berkeley neighborhoods.

The new Initiative has selectedfour other pilot neighborhoods to

broaden and test the opportunitiesto grow, enhance and attract newerretail selections to neighborhoods.

Historically, the city has done verylittle to support specialty new retaildevelopment in its established 35 orso Maintenance Pedestrian Districtsand Business Improvement Districts.These areas have defined businessdevelopment boundaries whereproperty owners agree to pay a spe-

cial assessment to generally maintainthe areas public rights-a-ways. Theseareas include such common servicesas maintaining safe and level side-walks, seasonal landscaping, streetamenities and promoting an overallattractiveness throughout the dis-

trict. Of course, the goal is to keeppeople coming to the district to shop,eat, have a cup of coffee or just hangout. The citys commercial districtshave been treated as an underuti-lized business and public asset formany years. I set out a couple ofyears ago to change this and providesupport for these areas.

The Denvers NeighborhoodMarketplace Initiative is working toimprove these assets by introduc-ing a package of economic resourcessuch as attracting private investment,analyzing vacancy rates and lookingmore deeply at the immediate resi-dential neighborhoods demograph-ics and helping to bring a new moresustainable business mix to thesecommercial areas. In the long run,the new program can align powerfulinfluences such as land use, infra-structure, access to transit corridors

and pedestrian focused retail uses.This is also a good business strategyfor Denvers because over 50% of itsgeneral fund income is generated

by sales and use taxes originating inretail sales.

The Economic Development agen-cy of the city is poised to learn a greatdeal from the current pilot under-way. Additional neighborhood areaswill be selected each year and theprogram will need my help to ensurethat it becomes a centerpiece projectin the future. In the end, Denver will

join other major cities that focus onretail as business development strat-egies that also know retail is vital to

sustaining inner-city neighborhoods.For more information con-

tact: www.milehigh.com/NeighborhoodMarketplace

While the history of ice cream canbe traced back to the 4th century BC,that of the ice cream soda goes only to1871, right here in Denver, Colorado.

A German immigrant,Otto P. Baur, opened a con-

fectionery shop in the 1500Block of Curtis Street, sell-ing cakes, candies and otherconfectionery items.

The ice cream soda, it is said, wascreated for a hung-over customer whocame in every morning for a glassof soda water andcream. When thecream had notyet been deliv-ered one morning,Baur suggested hetry a glass of icecream into whichthe seltzer waterhad been charged.

It was an instancesuccess.

Otto wasknown for his gen-erosity. He servedfree biscuits to theIndians encamp-ed in town. Intime he formed apartnership witha man named James Colwell, but Colwellsoon moved toCheyenne to opena restaurant there.After Ottos death

in 1904, his neph-ew, John Joseph Jacobs, who hadapprenticed underOttos expertise,returned to Denverto take over thebusiness. Under his guidance, the busi-ness developed new confections andexpanded, adding a restaurant in 1918that quickly became famous. One ofthe new items Jacobs created was the

world-famous Mijapie. He also provid-ed catering servicesto Denvers elite,

making Baurs the mostpopular catering service for

all of Victorian Denver soci-ety.

Joe also passed out freeice cream to Denvers children duringthe Great Depression of the 1930s andprovided treats to local hospital andorphanages.

Some of us still remember a radioprogram. Breakfast at Baurs hostedby Gene Amole.

Colorados tourism industry continued tobreak records in 2007, welcoming 28 milliondomestic overnight visitors an all timehigh for the state. This is Colorados fourthyear of consecutive growth according to theLongwoods International Colorado TravelYear 2007 report released by the Colorado

Tourism Office. Overall, overnight visitors toColorado in 2007 increased four percent over2006 (26.9 million visitors).

On a national scale, Colorado madeheadway. Colorados national share of mar-ketable travel rose from 2.35 percent in 2006to 2.5 percent in 2007. Marketable trips arecomprised of visitors who are not visitingfriends or relatives, stay in overnight com-mercial accommodations and are influenced

by marketing efforts.The Colorado Tourism Office is extreme-

ly pleased with the Colorado Travel Year2007 study results, said Rob Perlman, chair-man of the Colorado Tourism Office Board ofDirectors. This study highlights the value oftourism to Colorado and the major impact it

has on the states economy.Overnight marketable leisure trips saw

an increase of eight percent, surpassing therecord set in 1992. Nationwide, marketabletravel also grew, requiring Colorado to exceedthis growth to make any real gains.

Travel spending in the state reachednew heights as well. Overall domestic visitorexpenditures reached a record $9.8 billion in2007, up ten percent over $8.9 billion in 2006.Overall visitor spending led to double-digitincreases in accommodations, local transpor-tation and recreation and attractions expen-ditures. Food and beverage saw an increase

of three percent and retail an increase of sixpercent in visitor spending.

For the first time in 2007, Longwoodsmeasured the volume and value associatedwith day travel in the state. In 2007, Coloradocounted 21.5 million day trips, most origi-nating in state. These day trippers spent an

additional $1.3 billion, or 12 percent of alltravel-related expenditures for a total of $11.1

billion.Colorados market share increase is

extremely significant given the intenselycompetitive national marketplace, said KimMcNulty, director of the Colorado TourismOffice. It continues to validate that market-ing and promotion investments are further-ing Colorados recognition as a top touristdestination.

Colorado remains solidly in first placenationally as an overnight ski destination,maintaining a huge lead over rival Westernand Northeastern states with 20 percent mar-ket share. Colorado also retained its positionas a top ten outdoor vacation destination with

3.6 percent of the national market share.The increase in marketable trips reflected

gains in touring, special event and resorttrips. There were also gains in visitors com-ing on city, business-pleasure and casinotrips. Outdoor trips now comprise the largestsegment among those visiting Colorado onmarketable leisure trips. The state now ranksninth in the country for outdoor trips, with a3.8 percent market share in 2007.

Aside from Colorado itself, the top statemarkets for Colorado visitors are Texas,California, Arizona, Illinois, Florida andKansas.

LOWRy HOME

VALuES STRONGHome, sweet Lowry homes!

According to new research, detachedand attached home appreciation atLowry outperformed local and metromarkets from 2000 through 2007.

The Genesis Group, an independentreal estate research and consulting firm,analyzed initial and subsequent resaleprices for detached and attached homesat Lowry during the eight-year periodand compared the price appreciation tothe City and County of Denver, the six-county metropolitan area and numer-ous comparable Denver neighborhoods,including Hilltop, Montclair, CongressPark, Cherry Creek, Washington Parkand Stapleton. Key findings include:

Single family detached homes atLowry appreciated an average of 8percent per year from 2000 to 2007,compared to an average of 3.5 percentper year in the City and County ofDenver and an average appreciation of7.2 percent per year in the comparableDenver neighborhoods. From 2004 to2007, when market conditions tight-ened, Lowry detached homes appreci-ated an average of 6.6 percent per year,compared to an average of 3.5 percentin the City and County of Denver and6.4 percent in the comparable neighbor-hoods.

Attached homes at Lowry, includingtownhomes, lofts and condominiums,appreciated an average of 6.7 percentper year from 2000 to 2007, compared toan average appreciation of 3.4 percent

per year for attached homes in the Cityand County of Denver, and an averageappreciation of 4.6 percent per year inthe comparable Denver neighborhoods.Lowry attached homes performedespecially well in 2004 to 2007, whenmarket conditions tightened, appreciat-ing an average of 5.5 percent per year,compared to -0.3 percent in the Cityand County of Denver and an averageof 2.1 percent per year in comparableneighborhoods.

Tom Markham, executive director forthe Lowry Redevelopment Authority,said Lowrys long-term successful per-formance could be attributed to a vari-ety of factors, including location, design

standards and quality of life.Quality and convenience are keyfactors people look at when buying a

home, and Lowry has both, Markhamsaid. We have a wide variety of homes,retail, schools and recreational ameni-ties, and all of these projects must meethigh design standards. Additionally,our close proximity to downtown,

Cherry Creek and Fitzsimons makesLowry a desirable location.The study comes just as Lowry

is launching its final neighborhood,EastPark. More than 600 new homes areplanned for the neighborhood, locatedat Lowry Blvd. and Yosemite St. Theneighborhood will include patio, town-homes, cottages, single-family and cus-tom homes with price points rangingfrom the $100s to $1 million.

NEW GOLF COuRSE

DEBuTSLast week, the Colorado Golf

Association (CGA) and the ColoradoWomen's Golf Association (CWGA)

announced the new name of the asso-ciation-owned golf course at Lowry CommonGround Golf Course.CommonGround Golf Course is thework of worldrenowned architect TomDoak and his Renaissance Golf Designgroup. The 7,200-yard, par 71 layoutis a complete redesign of the previouscourse Mira Vista.

The new facility will include an18-hole championship course, anenhanced practice facility and twoshort courses devoted to junior golf.CommonGround is scheduled to openin spring 2009.

"This facility doesnt just belong tothe CGA and CWGA, it belongs to the

community, said CGA president BillFowler. It belongs to the states bestgolfers and to those just taking up thegame. It belongs to everyone and will be priced so that everyone can enjoyit.

The affordability of the course is anextension of the joint CGA and CWGAmission to promote the game of golf inColorado. Fowler said the team wantedto incorporate that somehow in thecourse's name.

Our challenge was to name theplace, but more importantly to name thepurpose behind that place to namethe mission, Fowler said. What isthe right name for the ground that

is founded on the common interestsof all? CommonGround Golf Coursematches our vision beautifully.
