THE UPDATE

Prosecutors will not seek death for Richard “Rossi” Moreau if he’s convict-ed of murder.

A motion filed by the District Attor-ney’s office said prosecutors will accept life in prison, if a jury convicts Moreau of killing Dr. Gary Kitching. They will not be seeking the death penalty, accord-

ing to the motion filed by District Attor-ney Mark Hurlbert.

Moreau is 63.“It is my conclusion to decline to seek

the death penalty against the defendant,” Hurlbert said. “This decision does not come lightly. It is never easy to decide whether to seek death in a case.”

Moreau is charged with first degree murder for shooting Kitching to death, Nov. 7, 2009, at the Sandbar in West Vail.

The entire incident was captured on the bar’s security cameras and played in the courtroom during Moreau’s preliminary hearing. That, and other evidence was plenty for Judge Katharine Sullivan to send Moreau to trial on all eight felony charges he faces.

The tape shows Moreau shooting Kitching, wounding three others and threatening many more with his 1911 .45 caliber Springfield hand gun.

“Although there are other victims in the case, Mr. Kitching’s death is the most relevant,” Hurlbert said.

Aggravating factors neededfor death penalty

To get a death penalty ruling from a jury, prosecutors have to prove at least one of 12 possible aggravating factors, and that jury has to be convinced beyond

+102.94Stocks enjoyed their best one-day ral-

ly in nearly three weeks yesterday and finished at levels not seen in 19 months. The rally got stronger as the day wore on, helped in part by earnings from cruise-line operator Carnival, an up-grade for Dow component Caterpillar, and a report showing that existing-home sales in February fell -- but less than ex-pected. The Dow Jones Industrial Aver-age rose 102.94 to close at 10,888.83, the Standard & Poors 500 Index rose 8.36 to close at 1,174.17, and the Nas-daq Composite Index rose 19.84 to close at 2,415.24.

The remains of five other people lost in the snow slide that occurred two weeks ago have not yet been located, said police chief Aja Noor Kemtuz in Badakhshan province. Police and rescue workers spent four days getting to the scene, he said.

Five houses were destroyed in the av-alanche, which occurred in the Arghang Khzahkha district north of Faizabad — about 30 miles south of the Tajiki-stan border. An estimated 500 cattle and

Health care opinions split along party linesDemocrats love it while Republicans vow to fight it

Colorado’s politicians predictably split party lines over the healthcare vote.

All three Democrats who repre-sent Eagle County in Washington voted for it, Rep. Jared Polis and senators Mark Udall and Michael Bennet.

Both Republicans running for governor, Scott McInnis and Dan Maes, oppose it. They praised Colorado Attorney General John Suthers’ plan to go to court to fight forcing Coloradans to buy health insurance.

McInnis applauds A.G.McInnis said Suthers “took the

right step for Colorado and our citi-zens against overreaching federal legislation” by joining a multi-state lawsuit fighting the healthcare bill.

“The attorney general was right to join with his colleagues from around the country and speak out for basic constitutional principles,” McInnis said.

McInnis says it’s unconstitutional for the federal government to force to buy health insurance.

“The federal government should not be compelling citizens in Colo-rado, or any other state, to buy cer-

tain types of insurance and institut-ing federal penalties if they choose not to do so,” McInnis said. “That’s an expansion of federal power that is simply wrong.”

McInnis says the bill carries more than $800 million in unfunded Med-icaid mandates.

‘Well-intentioned liberals’Maes said, “Well-intentioned lib-

erals once again have trampled on our individual freedom and consti-tution.”

Maes claims that the package ma-nipulates the economics so the bill comes due after the 2012 election, and that it will add hundreds of mil-lions to Colorado’s Medicaid costs.

“I want to personally congratulate Attorney General John Suthers for his courage to join other attorneys general in the lawsuit to stop this legislation,” said Maes.

Polis supports itPolis voted for the package, and

has been a supporter through his first term in congress. He’s up for election in November.

Eagle County is in the Boulder Democrat’s 2nd Congressional Dis-trict.

“Healthcare should make our lives better, not worse,” Polis said.

Polis points to health insurance

exchanges and tax credits for small businesses, giving them access to group rates and more choice of in-surance companies.

Udall calls it ‘historic’Udall called the bill “historic,”

and says it requires insurance com-panies to keep their promises to consumers. He says it reduce health care costs, which will help create more jobs.

“We aren’t going to create more jobs in America unless we lift the burden of escalating health insur-ance costs on our economy,” Udall said.

Udall says the package will re-duce the federal deficit while low-ering the growth of health insurance costs, that it will help small busi-nesses offer insurance to employ-ees, and prohibit insurance com-panies from rejecting people for pre-existing conditions.

President Obama signed it yester-day.

The package now moves back to the Senate, where lawmakers will start wading through a series of changes that House Democrats wanted as part of their deal to ap-prove it.

“Although the final bill isn’t per-fect, I look forward to casting that last vote,” Udall said.

Vail Police are seeking the pub-lic’s assistance in identifying a theft suspect whose image appears on a store surveillance video which was recorded at approximately 3:30 p.m. on Jan. 30 at Designer Furs, 285 Bridge St. in Vail Village. The video shows the suspect stealing a fur coat from the business.

He’s described as 45-55 years old, 5’6” to 5’9” tall, 200 to 250 pounds, light complexion, balding light brown hair, with a thin beard and eyeglasses. The suspect was ac-

companied by two females, possibly his wife and daughter, who were described as speaking with South American or Spanish accents.

The coat is a ladies size 10, cus-tom-made, one-of-a-kind, full-length mink, with a large, black sable-trimmed collar and four-inch cuffs on the sleeves, valued at $20,000. There is no label inside the coat.

Dust on Snow with Chris Landry tonightPart of Eagle River Watershed Council’s continuing Water Wise Wednesday series

It’s a lot more than just dust in the wind …Tonight Chris Landry, the Executive Director of the

Center for Snow and Avalanche Studies, will explain how dust from the Colorado Plateau is affecting snow-melt timing and rates throughout the Colorado mountains - and complicating water management in Colorado.

The talk will be part of “Water Wise Wednesday,” a monthly gathering of the Eagle River Watershed Coun-cil, where the group advocates for the health and con-servation of the Upper Colorado and Eagle River basins through research, education and projects.

While Chris is well known as one of the early pioneers of extreme ski descents in Colorado - including the first descent of the East Face of Pyramid Peak over 30 years ago - he is also one of the pre-eminent snow scientists in the country. In 2003, Chris developed the Senator Beck Basin Study Area at Red Mountain Pass in the San Juan Mountains of Southwest Colorado. This site has since become a venue for interdisciplinary American and in-ternational snow system research, long-term mountain system monitoring, field education.

Eagle River Watershed Council strives to provide a forum where everyone can gain a greater understanding of the Eagle River environment. They say their mission is “preserving our quality of life by protecting the Eagle and Colorado Rivers in Eagle County.”

Water Wise Wednesdays meet in different locations on the last Wednesday of every month. Tonight’s meeting is at the Eagle County Ambulance District building, next to the Post Office in Edwards. The talk begins at 5 p.m.

Chris Landry is the Executive Director of the Cen-ter for Snow and Avalanche Studies. He will dis-cuss dust from the Colorado Plateau and snow-melt tonight at the Eagle County Ambulance District building in Edwards at 5 p.m.

Dr. Peter Millet honored by American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons

Dr. Peter Millett of the Steadman-Hawkins Clinic at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Annual meeting was awarded with their Achievement Award in New Orleans last week.

Millet also made five presentations on various topics and served as an instructor and moderator for two academic and educa-tional programs. One was on “Master Sur-gery for the Rotator Cuff,” which included lab instruction for orthopaedic surgeons from around the globe.

He was also part of a presentation on original re-search that was done through the research institute on the management of clavicle fractures – a very common injury in Vail – and showed improved outcomes and faster return to activities with surgical fixation.

“Active volunteer involvement is at the heart of AAOS activities. Our meetings, courses, educational materials, clinical practice guidelines, and advocacy efforts are just a few of the many activities that depend on participation by volunteers for their success,” The AAOS said of the honorees. “Volunteers are vital – not

only to the AAOS, but also to orthopaedic specialty so-cieties; national, state, and local orthopaedic societies; and the broader medical community.”

The AAOS Board of Directors established the Achievement Award Program to encourage and en-hance individual growth of Academy members, and to thank them for their many contributions to education, research, and advocacy in orthopaedics. This new pro-gram recognizes participation by AAOS members in Academy programs and elsewhere in orthopaedics.

The program was designed to recognize those who are freely giving back and to create an incentive for others to do the same.

“It is a great honor for me to receive this award and be recognized by my peers for my contributions to or-thopaedic surgery and to the American Academy of Or-thopaedic Surgeons,” Millet said. “I am humbled to be included with many of the great orthopaedic surgeons from around the country and am thankful to work in such a wonderful medical environment here at the Steadman Clinic and the Vail Valley Medical Center.”

He said the research they perform on a daily basis in Vail directly translates into better care and better out-comes for the patients in the community and, by shar-ing it through organizations such as the AAAOS, to the greater worldwide orthopaedic community as well.

Cruisin’ for Kids set for FridayAlpine Children’s Charity is hosting its sixth annual

Cruisin’ for Kids skiathon Friday.They’re looking for participants to ski and snowboard

on Vail’s NASTAR race course, and in an all-mountain scavenger hunt.

Anyone can participate, no matter your age. Each participant is encouraged to raise at least $100.

Participants get a T-shirt, goody bag and lunch. They’re also be invited to an after-party celebration and will qualify for prizes.

This year, donations may be designated to go directly to the Thomas Walsh Medical Trust.

Thomas was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, me-tastasis to the lungs, and has been in continued treat-ment and surgeries since May 2009 to overcome his battle with this rare cancer.

He is a freshman at Vail Mountain School and is a outstanding student, skier, triathlete, musician, actor

and soccer player.Alpine Children’s Charity was formed in 2004 by a

group kids to help other kids by raising money to sup-port established charities that are focused on two things: First, finding cures for diseases that affect children and, second, providing education and support services for groups impacted by childhood diseases.

In the first five years, Alpine Children’s Charity has raised nearly $850,000 which has been distributed to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the Children’s Heart Foundation, Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation, Red Ribbon Project-HIV/AIDS and First Descents.

“It’s more important to help kids. It’s not all about racing and money,” said co-founder Jack DeTrempe. “It’s just about going out and helping other kids.”

Kenny G at the Vilar Center, Beaver Creek

Kenny G makes his eagerly anticipated return to the Vilar Performing Arts Center tonight. Over the past two decades, G has established himself as the best selling instrumental musician of the modern era, with global sales totaling more than 75 million albums. His lat-est release, the Latin-inspired “Rhythm & Romance,” helped the musician venture into uncharted creative territory, and recall why a young Kenny Gorelick from Seattle who discovered the saxophone one evening while watching the Ed Sullivan show, was inspired to pick up the instrument in the first place. “Every-one loves the rhythm of Latin music,” says Kenny. “It makes you feel good; it makes you want to dance. At the same time, it is very intimate and personal.” Show starts at 7:30. Tickets are $100 - $150.

Pimps of Joytime at Solaris Stage, Vail VillageThe Street Beat concert series rolls on with the genre-

defying Pimps of Joytime’s soulful harmonies, hitting all the marks and cross all barriers, bridging the gap between underground funk, soul, pop, dance, afrobeat and latin. The eclectic musicians from New Orleans and Brooklyn have evolved into a powerhouse 5-piece ensemble that puts a modern twist on a retro sound.

Brian J is The Pimps’ visionary. He started the group in Brooklyn in 2005, while playing clubs in Williams-burg and the East Village. In the years since, The Pimps of Joytime have performed from London to San Fran-scisco, playing live concerts in a way that is seamless and infectious. Their joyful noise is a heady musical gumbo, keeping crowds moving and dancing through-out their shows. The show is free and starts at 6 p.m.

Greyboy Allstars at Agave, Avon

The Greyboy Allstars are a studio supergroup. Elgin Park has written film scores for Walk Hard: The Dew-ey Cox Story, Funny People and Donnie Darko. Karl Denson is the leader of the Tiny Universe and former Lenny Kravitz bandmate. Robert Walter just finished recording Alec Ounsworth’s new record. Aaron Red-field played on Cake’s latest album and tour, and Chris Stillwell is from Big Daddy Kane.

Elgin Park’s take on The Greyboy Allstars and their singular feel-good energy sums up a feeling shared by all of the band’s members when they take time out of their individually busy schedules to work together. “In this band I’m a completely different player than in al-most any other circumstance,” he explains. Of reunit-ing in the studio he says, “It opened up a new world for

me creatively.” It was really liberating to be in the room with so many talented people and just have a good time again.” Tickets are $30.

Mountain Standard Time at Samana, Vail Village

“The members of Mountain Standard Time hale from different parts of the country, yet their musical paths crossed in Nederland-a small Colorado mountain town steeped in bluegrass music,” says JamBase.

“MST’s catalog of originals contains a great variety of styles and influences while showcasing a unique sound originating from a variety of musical backgrounds fil-tered through traditional bluegrass instrumentation. Original melodies, songs rich in lyrics and vocal har-monies and a driving back beat keep imprinting MST’s brand of ‘mountaingrass’ on the minds of their enthusi-astic audiences.” Show starts at 10 p.m. Tickets are $5.

Taylor Brown at Main Street Grill, Edwards

Taylor Brown makes sweet sounds for a sour econ-omy. His sound is a delicious hybrid of Maroon 5 and Jason Mraz, mixed with a little John Mayer on acid. He has played for 5000+ capacity audiences at venues such as Benaroya Hall in Seattle and his music has been featured in movies such as “Center of Time,” “The Red Dress,” and “Portrait of a Woman.”

He has toured throughout the country as a one-man band. He uses a loop pedal in his live performances to record layers of drumbeats, bass lines, and many oth-er simulated instruments on his Korg Triton Extreme (state of the art keyboard). Brown then adds both elec-tric and acoustic guitar parts with swirling effects to the mix covering all types of genres that will sure have something pleasing for everyone.

Steve Meyer followed by Matt and Ted at The Club,

Vail VillageIf you’re looking for an après ski show that is not

suited for the entire family, rather for people who like to party – a show that encourages a healthy amount of drinking, raunchy jokes and good times – Steve Meyer, at The Club in Vail Village, offers that alternative. Mu-sic kicks off at 5 p.m.

Then, at 10 p.m., the acoustic rock/pop duo of Ted Hammock and Matt Fisher is influenced by G. Love, Dispatch, Sublime and Jack Johnson. “I love more chill stripped down acoustic music,” says Hammock. “I love the gauntlet of human emotion and the feelings that people experience.”

VRD B League Volleyball Champs ...ATHLETIC STUFF


Three-time Olympic medalist Ju-lia Mancuso captured the 11th U.S. title of her career with a victory in the women’s giant slalom to close the 2010 Visa U.S. Alpine Cham-pionships at Whiteface Mountain Tuesday.

Mancuso was also the giant sla-lom champion in ‘09, ‘05, and ‘03. With 11 titles, she now moves past U.S. great Andrea Mead Lawrence for the most titles of any American male or female, breaking a record that has stood for 55 years.

The weekend brought some clo-sure to a season in which Mancuso had long worked hard .

“Coming back from a back injury I always had the goal of getting ready

for the Olympics. Even going into last season it hurt. I wanted to keep trying. Just being able to see the re-ward of the plan paying off was re-ally amazing,” Mancuso said.

Second place for the day went to Laurenne Ross who produced the fastest second run. Ross was also third in the super G and second in the combined at Whiteface.

Malin Hemmingson of Sweden was third followed by U.S. down-hill champion Leanne Smith.

The top U.S. junior was Julia Ford out of U.S. Development Team, though the fastest junior was Erin Mielzynski of Canada. J-2 Foreste Peterson of the Squaw Valley Ski Team was the next fastest U.S. ju-

nior followed by Abby Ghent of Ski and Snowboard Club Vail in 21st. Sarah Schleper, another Vail local and favorite to win, did not finish. Tuesday also marked the final race for Kaylin Richardson, a two-time Olympian and seven-year member of the U.S. Ski Team. She ran both runs of giant slalom in a puffy red one piece ski suit circa 1980, with her parents making the trip from Minnesota just to see their daugh-ter’s last event.

Numerous athletes, including Ted Ligety now move directly to Co-chran’s Ski Area in Richmond, VT for the annual charity slalom hosted by two-time Olympian Jimmy Co-chran today.

other animals also were killed, he said.Local residents reported the avalanche in the village

of Dood Daood. The road to the village is blocked by snow for several months of the year. In February, at least 171 people died in an avalanche at the 12,700-foot-high Salang Pass, the major route through the Hindu Kush mountains that connects the Afghan capital of Kabul to the north of the country.

Health care bill to create jobs at IRS

The Internal Revenue Service will function as the government’s chief enforcer for health care reform, should President Obama sign the bill into law as ex-pected, monitoring both businesses and individuals to certify whether they have the insurance coverage the government requires, according to CNS News.

The tax collection agency will reportedly be respon-sible for monitoring and enforcing compliance with the individual and employer insurance mandates which form the backbone of the Democrats’ hard-won re-forms.

The bill states that the purpose of the mandates is to regulate “economic and financial decisions about how and when health care is paid for, and when health insur-ance is purchased.”

No prom at ItawambaThe prom’s still off at a Mississippi high school that

canceled it instead of letting a lesbian student bring her girlfriend, but a federal judge ruled Tuesday that the district’s actions did violate the teen’s constitutional rights.

U.S. District Judge Glen H. Davidson refused the American Civil Liberties Union’s demand to force the Itawamba County school district to put on the April 2 prom. However, he said canceling it did violate 18-year-old Constance McMillen’s rights and that he would hold a trial on the issue.

That would come too late for the prom to be salvaged at Itawamba Agricultural High School. Still, Kristy Bennett, ACLU Mississippi legal director, called the decision a victory.

Patrick Kennedy leaves note on dad’s gravesite

The political odyssey of health care reform in many ways is the story of Ted Kennedy, and as President Obama signed the historic bill into law Tuesday, Ken-nedy’s gravesite was a place of quiet celebration and poignant reflection, according to the Washington Post.

The late senator’s widow, Victoria Reggie Kennedy, reportedly spent hours Sunday at the simple white cross at Arlington National Cemetery marking where her husband was laid to rest only seven months ago. Ted Kennedy’s youngest son, Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy (D-R.I.), visited on Monday morning and left a hand-written note that read: “Dad, the unfinished business is done.”

Kennedy’s legacy was not lost on anyone who filled the East Room of the White House for Obama’s bill-signing ceremony, writes the Post’s Philip Rucker and Eli Saslow. Members of Congress wore blue “Ted-Strong” wristbands in his honor and posed for pictures with Patrick Kennedy. Vicki Kennedy walked into the room with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and

Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.).

New York plans to nip budget deficit in the budNew York’s Senate Democrats are counting on a pot

of gold! They want to legalize medical marijuana as a way to generate nearly $15 million in licensing fees to help plug the state’s $9 billion budget gap, according to the NY Daily News.

“It is the right thing to do and there is revenue at-tached to it,” state Sen. Thomas Duane (D-Manhattan) was quoted saying. Duane and Assemblyman Richard Gottfried (D-Manhattan) are behind the plan to make it legal for folks with serious medical woes to score limited amounts of weed from state-certified distribu-tors - or grow it themselves.

The Senate still needs to approve the provision, though Dems included revenue projections from the sale of medical marijuana in their 2010-2011 budget proposal, according to the report.

Kate Gosselin dances like a publisher

She can spin a slither of a story into tabloid gold and change her hair faster than you can say “$7,000 extensions,” but there’s one thing Kate Gosselin can’t quite do: Dance. On her “Dancing With the Stars” de-but Monday night, the much-maligned mother of eight showed that she has a lot to learn when it comes to working the floorboards, according to ABC News. Dressed in what looked like a leftover costume from the set of “I Dream of Jeanie,” Gosselin reportedly at-tempted a classic Viennese Waltz to Billy Joel’s “She’s Always a Woman to Me,” along with her good-natured professional parter, Tony Dovolani.

Judge Bruno Tolini cut Gosselin to the core. “The technique was terrible,” he was quoted say-

ing as she stood stoic, like a school child bracing for a scolding. “It looked like Tony was pushing a shopping cart across the floor. You have to exude something!”

Sales of lotions and potions on the rise

Turns out skin care is an economic bellwether—so you should be happy to hear that sales are picking up, according to Newser. Women were slow to skimp on, say, moisturizer even as sales of makeup and perfume declined, but in 2009 skin care sales finally fell by 4%, according to new research. The good news: Late last year, sales of lotions and potions picked back up and rose 2%, the Chicago Tribune reports, indicating a pos-sible economic rebound.

Bill Gates going nuclear in a small way

A company backed by Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Toshiba are in early talks to jointly develop a small nuclear reactor, the Japanese electronics giant said Tuesday, according to the AFP.

The Nikkei business daily earlier reported that the two sides would team up to develop a compact next-generation reactor that can operate for up to 100 years without refueling to provide emission-free energy.

The daily said the joint development would focus on the Traveling-Wave Reactor (TWR), which consumes

depleted uranium as fuel. Current light-water reactors require refueling every few years.

“Toshiba has entered into preliminary talks with Ter-raPower,” Toshiba spokesman Keisuke Ohmori was quoted saying. Gates is reportedly the principal owner of TerraPower, an expert team based in the US state of Washington that is investigating ways to improve emis-sion-free energy supplies using small nuclear reactors.

Chinese upset at Google’s lack of censorship

The Chinese government today blasted Google’s decision to close its mainland search site over censor-ship issues and are plastering their response all over the media, according to ABC News. “Google has violated its written promise and is totally wrong by stopping to censor its Chinese language search results and blaming China for alleged hacker attacks, “ the Xinhua news agency quoted an official in charge of China’s Internet bureau as saying.

Google made the announcement that it was rerouting Google.cn through Hong Kong, which is not censored, at 3 a.m. local time here and the Chinese government quickly responded. The Great Firewall, the Chinese government censors, reportedly stepped in within hours of Google’s pullout to impose censorship on search re-sults routed through the Google Hong Kong site. How long this will last or how complete the censorship will be is still an open question, according to ABC.

Anti-terror arms race heats up

The Indian military has a new weapon against terror-ism: the world’s hottest chili.

After conducting tests, the military has decided to use the thumb-sized “bhut jolokia,” or “ghost chili,” to make tear gas-like hand grenades to immobilize sus-pects, defense officials said Tuesday.

The bhut jolokia was accepted by Guinness World Records in 2007 as the world’s spiciest chili. It is grown and eaten in India’s northeast for its taste, as a cure for stomach troubles and a way to fight the crippling sum-mer heat.

It has more than 1,000,000 Scoville units, the sci-entific measurement of a chili’s spiciness. Classic Ta-basco sauce ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville units, while jalapeno peppers measure anywhere from 2,500 to 8,000.

Member of Nazi death squad convicted of killing

Dutch civiliansA German court today convicted an 88-year-old of

murdering three Dutch civilians as part of a Nazi hit squad during World War II, capping six decades of efforts to bring the former Waffen SS man to justice. Heinrich Boere, number six on the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s list of most-wanted Nazis, was given the max-imum sentence of life in prison. During the trial, Boere admitted to killing a bicycle-shop owner, a pharmacist, and another civilian as a member of the “Silbertanne” hit squad.

“As a simple soldier, I learned to carry out orders,” Boere said. “And I knew that if I didn’t carry out my orders I would be breaking my oath and would be shot

myself.” But the prosecution argued that Boere was a willing member of the fanatical Waffen SS, which he joined shortly after the Nazis had overrun his home-town of Maastricht. Though sentenced to death in ab-sentia in the Netherlands in 1949—later commuted to life imprisonment—he had managed to avoid jail until now.

Schindler’s list for saleThe only privately held copy of a list that Oskar

Schindler drew up of Jews to be saved from Nazi con-centration camps is on sale for $2.2 million, according to the Telegraph, a British newspaper.

“It’s the only one remaining in private hands,” Gary Zimet, a historic document sales specialist, was quoted saying, and is “arguably the most important World War II document”.

The list reportedly compiled by Schindler and the ac-countant Itzhak Stern – and made famous in the Hol-lywood movie “Schindler’s List” by Steven Spielberg – is dated April 18, 1945, and 13 pages long, Mr Zimet said. The names of 801 men are listed along with their occupations and birth dates.

Jerry Springer returns to the tube with Baggage

Jerry Springer is reinventing himself again, this time as host of a dating game series.

“Baggage,” debuting next month on the Game Show Network, gives three contestants the chance to win the eye of a prospective date. The hitch: Contestants have to reveal their faults and foibles.

Players will carry suitcases onstage to represent the baggage they’ll confess to and defend, GSN said Tues-day. Among the planned suitors: a shoplifter, a woman who gets advice from psychics and a control freak.

Springer called “Baggage” a family friendly show that’s “just fun and lighthearted. There’s no life-chang-ing issues.”

“I’m like the crazy old uncle,” he said. “People feel comfortable telling me their secrets, that I won’t be judgmental.”

Can lawyers sue cosmic rays?

It may sound far-fetched, but federal regulators are studying whether sudden acceleration in Toyotas is linked to cosmic rays, according to the Free Press.

Radiation from space long has affected airplanes and spacecraft, and is known for triggering errors in com-puter systems, but has received scant attention in the auto industry, writes the Free Press’ Justin Hyde.

The questions show how deep regulators and auto-makers may have to dig to solve the mysteries of sud-den acceleration. Toyota says it is fixing mechanical problems -- floor mats and sticky pedals -- that explain sudden acceleration in 13 models and 5.6 million ve-hicles.

a reasonable doubt, Hurlbert wrote. Among those aggravating factors:• The defendant has to be a convicted

felon when he committed the killing.• He would have had to kill a law en-

forcement officer, fire fighter or other emergency service personnel in the per-formance of their duties.

• He would have to be fleeing from custody.

Prosecutors sifted through the moun-tains of evidence, and decided not to seek the death penalty.

“The People have weighed all the mitigating and aggravating factors and … will not be seeking the death penalty, Hurlbert said. “This is not a decision that was entered into lightly, and only after considerable thought and reflection.”

That nightKitching, a recently retired physician

from Carbondale, and his wife stopped by the Sandbar that Saturday night on their way through town, to watch the USC-Oregon State college football game. Kitching was a USC alumni and had heard the Sandbar had a big screen television. When the situation in the bar began to deteriorate, Kitching walked

outside to his car to make sure they could get the game on their satellite radio. He left his wife inside.

He found the game being broadcast on his digital radio dial, and headed back inside to get his wife and head toward Carbondale. They’d listen to the game on their way home.

After he walked into the bar, Moreau killed him and wounded three others, the video tape shows.

Moreau is being held in the Eagle County jail with no bail, a request from Hurlbert that Judge Sullivan granted.

Moreau has lived in the valley for three decades, and has reportedly had recur-ring bouts with alcohol problems since serving in Vietnam, his friends say.

Moreau’s public defenders will not be able to use Post Traumatic Stress Disor-der when they present his defense at tri-al. Prosecutors asked that District Judge Tom Moorhead ban it from the trial, and Moorhead agreed, according to court documents.

Hurlbert said Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is irrelevant and would preju-dice a jury.

Moorhead granted their request to keep it out.

tobacco use, according to the LA Times.The measure would reportedly allow

a fine of up to $100 for those caught smoking at a state beach or in a desig-nated section of a state park. Smoking would still be allowed in many parking lots and campgrounds.

“This is a great vote for the environ-ment, for fire protection and a darn good vote for those of us who don’t like sec-ond-hand smoke,” Sen. Jenny Oropeza (D-Long Beach), who authored the mea-sure, was quoted saying.

The proposal squeaked by with two votes to spare Monday and now returns to the Senate, which approved it previ-ously and is expected to concur in minor amendments. Republicans opposed the ban, saying it was unwarranted med-dling in legal behavior.

Tanning just got more expensive

Indoor tanning salons will charge cus-tomers a 10 percent tax beginning today. It’s just one of the changes Americans will see as a result of the U.S. health-care overhaul signed into law by Presi-dent Barack Obama, according to the Bloomberg news agency.

Strong reactionto ‘baby killer’

outburstRep. Randy Neugebauer was quoted

saying yesterday afternoon that his shout of “baby killer” amid Congressional de-bate over health care legislation Sunday night has drawn a “tremendous outpour-ing” of phone calls, emails, and financial contributions “telling me, ‘Congress-man, thank you for taking a stand,’” ac-cording to Ben Smith of Politico.com.

“You wouldn’t believe the emails and the phone calls of people calling and saying just, “Thank you, Congress-man, for taking a stand for the unborn,” he told POLITICO in an interview. He said he had “no idea” how much money he’s raised, though he addresses the sub-ject just above a “Donate” button on his campaign website.

“People are outpouring their support to me and that’s what’s important – this is not about money,” he was quoted saying.

Neugebauer reportedly maintains that his shout was directed at the health care legislation, not at Rep. Bart Stupak, and he said he called Stupak and then ap-proached him on the floor of the House to apologize.
