Tony Rau, a recent gradu-ate of CSU, has the job that every college student can only dream of. He is a full-time lab technician at a Fort Collins highlight –– Odell Brewing Co.

Rau entered CSU as an animal science major on the pre-vet route, but ended up as a biochemistry major and was encouraged to take a brewing class.

Taught by Jack Avens un-der the Department of Food Science and Human Nutri-tion, the class –– Brewing Sci-ence and Technology, or FTEC 460 –– showed Rau and many other students about the brewing process.

“The process is one bio-chemical pathway,” he said.

On the second day of class, Rau recalls thinking, “I want to do this for the rest of my life.”

During the class, students are able to take fi eld trips to seven breweries around Fort Collins and apply what they’ve learned in class at Equinox, Odell’s and Funk-werks breweries during the semester.

The course started in 2005 and is offered every semester to 20 qualifi ed students, who must be 21 or older, have a background in organic chem-istry and fi ll out a three to fi ve page questionnaire created by

the professor. According to Avens, CSU

is the only university with an undergraduate academic brewing science course. This puts students on track to a ca-reer in brewing.

After the class, the next step is to obtain an internship at a local craft brewery.

“An unpaid intern is on track when the need (for work-ers) arises,” said Doug Odell, founder of Odell Brewing Co.

The semester after taking FTEC 460, Rau signed on to be the undergraduate teaching

assistant for the class. During that time, he also held a part-time internship at Odell’s. After nine months, Rau got offered a full-time position as a lab technician.

Rau’s main job is qual-ity control and quality assur-ance, according to Odell. Rau is one of two lab technicians hired on to oversee the brew-ing process.

Rau’s job entails check-ing for bacteria and contami-nants in the yeast. He also

Colorado, the beer capital of the nation, is host to a number of brew-ing companies. From the King of Beers taking residence just north of Fort Collins to the multitude of microbrews that can be found, there is plenty in Colorado to wet your whistle. Here are a few brewskies based near Fort Collins.

THE STUDENT VOICE OF COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY SINCE 1891

BY ALLISON SYLTEThe Rocky Mountain Collegian

While President Barack Obama’s campaign has confi rmed that he will be making a stop at CSU on Tuesday, the specifi cs of the visit are still un-known — even to the CSU depart-ments charged with providing logisti-cal support.

Sources close to the campaign say that details as to when, where and who’s invited will be released some-time this weekend, though they say his speech will occur sometime be-tween 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.

This short notice is normal, ac-cording to Blaine Nickeson, the as-sistant vice president of campus re-lations and chief of staff at Denver’s Auraria Campus, which is comprised of CU-Denver, Metropolitan State College of Denver and the Commu-nity College of Denver.

The Auraria Campus has seen two recent presidential visits, includ-ing one last October and another on Aug. 8. Nickeson said campus offi cials didn’t receive notice about the most recent visit until Aug. 3.

“You defi nitely have short no-tice when it comes to these types of things,” Nickeson said. “But a presi-dential visit can be a real opportunity for your campus to be seen nation-ally.”

CSU Spokesman Mike Hooker said the university hasn’t received any details from the Obama campaign, though he does know that numerous CSU departments — including Uni-versity Operations and the CSU Police Department — will be working with the Secret Service to ensure that the visit runs smoothly.

Because public institutions are separate from political campaigns, CSU will present the Obama cam-paign with a bill for any of the costs incurred by the visit.

Since Obama’s visit to CU-Boulder in April was not technically a cam-paign visit, CU footed the bill at an estimated cost of $110,000, according to the Denver Post.

“As someone who’s watched the organizational process for a good deal of small events, I know the good things that come out of putting out an event that’s well-orchestrated,” CSU

President Tony Frank said. According to the Morgan Li-

brary Archives, the last standing U.S. president to visit CSU was Dwight D. Eisenhower in the late 1950s.

In 2008, more than 45,000 student community members gathered in the Oval for then-Sen. Obama’s last visit. Senior agricultural sciences major

Melissa Gamber was one of them. “The line just to get into the Oval

CSU System Chancellor Michael Martin might have worked in a mine.

The newly-appointed face of the three-campus CSU sys-tem spent his young years in the small, rural town Crosby, Minn. where many of his peers did not pursue higher education.

But Martin, with the sup-port of his parents, decided to go to a four-year college, becoming the only one of his siblings to do so.

“My family was very en-couraging, not because they knew about it personally, but they understood that I could stay back in Crosby, Minn. and probably join many of my peers in working in the mines, but that was not a future that my parents thought was in my best interest or theirs,” Martin said.

Martin, the former chancel-lor at Louisiana State Universi-ty, took over as CSU’s chancel-lor over the summer. Martin has spent the last few months

getting acquainted with Colo-rado and is excited about being a part of the university.

“Mike understands the big issues and he’s very ready to dig into those and get to work and get the job done,” said CSU Presi-dent Tony Frank. “There is never any hesitancy on his part to role up his sleeves and get to work.”

According to Frank, Martin’s job is to handle interactions with the Board of Governors — the 15-member council that oversees the CSU System — the state legislature, the Colorado Commission on Higher Educa-tion and to represent CSU at a variety of events in Denver.

“Having someone focused on all of those areas is really important,” Frank said. “I think Mike will be a leading voice within Colorado about the im-portance of sustaining public higher education.”

Martin said he is aware of his responsibilities and goes to work every day ready to remind decision makers to remember

The Rocky Mountain Collegian | Thursday, August 23, 2012 3

I can close my eyes and remember molding my fingers around an almost unbearably hot cup of Turkish tea—two sugars. I was sitting in a scarf merchant’s shop in Istanbul, next to the Blue Mosque, pushing through introductions with a handsome stranger who convinced me to share a cup of tea with him. All my Western instincts told me that was I was about to do would result in trouble.

While flying high above the Atlantic Ocean en route to Istanbul Interna-tional Airport, I swore over a bag of stale peanuts that I would commit myself to meeting new people.

So I waived all pre-conceived fears and asked this friendly Turk-ish stranger, who I just met not 10 minutes ago, to smoke hookah with me later that evening.

After fighting our way through Taksim foot traffic and climbing eight flights of stairs I found myself on the terrace of a quaint café overlooking the Bosporus River. Over a pot of apple tea, my newfound friend, Askim, and I enjoyed each other’s company despite barriers of culture, reli-gion and language. There we were, with a world of difference between us, laughing through broken English about Pokémon and American cinema.

From there, we spent every possible minute we could together walking through palace gardens, hopping on ferries, stroll-ing through every park and street possible, and sharing a myriad of local

Turkish food. Every day ended with a hot pot of tea, and warm conversation.

After spending an abundance of time to-gether I noticed the differ-ences between Askim and I were just as egregious as the first time we met, if not more so, but what had dissolved was fear.

The same fear that caused a neighborhood watchman to shoot and kill an innocent African American boy wearing

a hoodie. The same fear that tells the American majority any time they see my Muslim friends to think ‘terrorists’.

The same fear of Af-rican Americans which resulted in segregation and dehumanization from white Americans, pre-1960s. The same fear that resulted in police-men shooting an innocent Latino man waiting for his friends on a street corner.

Our differences do not divide us; it is that our fear captivates us.

A good portion of my summer was spent drink-ing tea with people alto-gether unfamiliar to me as an American—a veiled Libyan woman who could only speak Arabic with me on a plane to Frank-furt, a Swiss engineer traveling via Eurorail to Zurich, an exchange stu-dent from Bosnia at a café in Florence and a touring German couple at a cave hotel in southern Turkey.

Of course, there were moments of confusion and awkwardness upon meeting all these people, but certainly fear had no place in our tea time.

When mixed, I believe hot water, tea leaves and sugar, shared between any two people, can be powerful enough to break chaliced stereotypes, and eradicate the fear that starts wars and ruins lives. Sharing a cup of tea allows for laughing, loving, re-joicing, mourning, rumi-nating and simply being.

Upon my departure from Frankfurt Internation-al Airport, I concluded my summer thrills in my jour-nal with this declaration.

I pray for opportuni-ties to share a pot of tea with people I most fear and do not understand. Surely such antiquated fellowship can bring a people so divided togeth-er on the most basic un-derstanding of the human condition.

This I believe to be true—you are my brother/sister, regardless of race or religion, status or gender, and I am to love you as such.

I want to challenge my community and whoev-er reads this to bury your anxiety, and share a cup of tea with someone un-familiar to you. You nev-er know what the result might be…

For the first time in recent memory, an acting president of the United States will be on the CSU campus.

When President Barack Obama arrives on Tuesday, it should be more than enough proof that in the next general election this community is in a key state and in a key county that could turn the tide in this elec-tion.

This visit is a high profile re-minder of just how important it is for students to stay informed in the coming months, up until the moment ballots are cast.

Larimer County is a swing county and Colorado is a swing state in this election. Every voter in this community has big role to play in November, and one that may actually make a difference.

Think about which way each

major county in the state will lean the morning after election night — Democrat or Republi-

can. Boulder County will be blue, obviously. El Paso County will be red, also obviously. Weld Coun-ty will also likely be red. Denver County will most likely be blue as it was in 2008. Arapahoe was

also blue last election.So on which side of the aisle

might Larimer County, the sixth largest in the state, land? We helped vote Obama into the White House, but traditionally we can be unpredictable.

Expect to see quite a bit of political activity in the coming months, more than many pres-idential elections, actually, be-cause we land in a politically stra-tegic location. Don’t be surprised if you see some sort of response by the Republican campaign soon after Obama’s visit. Like Hermann Cain, that should be hilarious.

And with so much discussion that will be going on around us, we need to stay informed on the facts and not just be swayed by partisan propaganda, because this year our vote might actually be pretty important.

Well, here we are everyone. It’s the start of another semester, and I must say that I am pleased to find out that CSU hasn’t lost any of its substance over the summer.

The bookstore—which I swear is a for-profit arm of the university—in the LSC is as insane as ever during the beginning of semesters. Normally I try to buy cheaply off Amazon, but a pro-fessor-specific book had me waiting in line there for a good half an hour.

Already I have found myself cursing the bicyclists that seem determined to irritate as many people at one time as possible by riding through the middle of the sidewalk lining Eddy and Clark during peak people hours.

Even better is that a professor had to cancel class due to not having a working projector, and being let go ear-ly would have been okay had I not been bombarded en route to the LSC by the coupon book people.

And best of all, I was pleased to find out that the third floors of most build-ings still seemingly have absolutely no temperature control—because swel-

tering through my language class is just my kind of fun.

But hey, these issues are nothing that an on-campus stadium can’t fix, right?

In all seriousness though, I really do enjoy being back in the swing of things. Seeing how excited the newcomers are to be here, and seeing some of the real-ly special people from last year always makes for a good time.

Plus it is always a bonus when you can go more than a few days without having some stranger confront you and inquire if you wouldn’t mind them ask-ing you a few questions.

For all the newcomers to this cam-pus, get ready for that experience, it really is a part of going to school here.

This time of year is great because everyone is so happy, pleasant and easy to talk to. Everyone dresses nice and smiles when you make eye con-tact—because their will hasn’t yet been eroded by weeks of endless reading, re-search, and testing.

Nearly two years ago to the day, I stepped onto this campus as a com-pletely different person than who I am today. This place has totally changed who I am, what I value, and what I believe ideologically. And there is no-where else I would rather be getting an education.

If you are open minded—even a lit-tle—then I guarantee this campus will change you in one way or another. Who you become while you are here is likely the core of who you will be for the rest of your life. And it is really important to decide who you are now, and what you believe in.

Hopefully this semester will be one

where you challenge yourself intellec-tually, socially and physically. Life is meant to be hard sometimes, and if yours isn’t then you aren’t doing it cor-rectly.

Anyway, that is my little philosoph-ical tirade, and if it struck a positive chord with at least one person, I would consider that a success.

Optimistically, over the course of this year I will get a few positive emails from some of you and probably more hate mail from the others. Which is a good thing, because it means I am pushing the right buttons and talking about the tough subjects.

I truly do hope that my articles will provide some insight into the im-portant issues of the day—along with some dry quick humor—and provoke really strong feelings. After all, people are most vocal about things they feel strongly about, and discussion is the first step toward action.

But now, sadly, as you reach the end of this article, you all will probably have to head back out into the daunting openness of CSU, but maybe catch a free high five from people—they seem to have been going around.

And now that I think about it, hopefully those high fivers washed their hands thoroughly; college stu-dents and their hands are not exactly the cleanest things. Who knows where they’ve really been.

our student body when they are making decisions that will affect CSU students.

“I won’t be able to di-rectly influence students anymore because I’m here in Denver … but I hope I can influence the people who do,” he said. “I hope in that process I can make them continually better servants of the notion that it’s always about the students.”

In his time as a univer-sity president or chancellor, Martin has developed two rules he takes with him to work every day.

“No. 1: it’s always about what’s best for the students. No. 2: everyone on campus is important. From profes-sors to the people who mow the lawn, they all serve the students so they’re all im-portant,” Martin said.

“It’s very easy in these jobs to get caught up too of-ten in your own ego because people call you ‘chancellor’ and think that’s important,” Martin said. “That’s only im-portant if you can use what-ever that is to advance the best interest of the students. It’s never about me.”

Chancellor Martin said he hopes to make each of the CSU System’s three campus-es — in Fort Collins, Pueblo and online — more success-ful by connecting them and utilizing their individual re-sources.

“One of the things I think a chancellor can do is be the person who helps think through those cross-campus relationships and remove the barriers that would pre-vent that from occurring,” he said. “Part of that, it seems to me, is to be the cheerleader and the innovator for rela-tionships which cause the three campuses to be more mutually supportive of one another.”

But Martin isn’t a com-plete newcomer to CSU. A

decade ago, he was consid-ered for the vacant president position at the university. As one of two final-ists, Martin chose not to continue on in the process.

“At that time, I still hadn’t con-cluded that I was ready to lead a major university,” Martin said. “My ego wanted me to do it but my ratio-nal thought pro-cess said maybe a couple more years … I didn’t see myself ready to take it on. Ten years later and a couple jobs in between later, I think I am.”

Larry Penley, the other finalist, took the job instead and resigned years later amidst a chorus of critique over his job performance.

At his previous job as chancellor of Louisiana State University, Martin faced budget reductions and had to figure out how to keep a campus prosperous despite those reductions. CSU has experienced similar budget cuts and a tuition hike in response to Colorado’s state government budget cuts.

From what Martin has observed, lawmakers are supportive of higher educa-tion and his job is to work with them as the face of CSU.

“In general, the populace and the state leadership (in Colorado) deeply regret hav-ing to make those cuts and as a consequence there is a fundamental, intrinsic value they have placed for higher education and CSU in par-ticular,” Martin said.

“I’m not sure if that was the case in Louisiana. Many people love LSU deeply but the broader population and the state leadership, I don’t believe had quite the same commitment to higher edu-cation as Colorado does.”

Martin explained that with Colorado being in the

top five states whose pop-ulation has bachelor’s de-grees, most of the state’s

citizens believe in and have wit-nessed the value of higher educa-tion.

“Even during budget cut times it’s nice to know that the citizenry and representa-tives and the lead-ers of the state still value what universities do

and that gives you a chance to feel as though, when the economy turns, enthusiasm for investing in higher edu-cation will endure,” Martin said.

“I think as this econo-my turns around, even if we don’t see a huge uptake in funding, I don’t think you’ll see continued reductions,” he said. “My sense is that there’s a stronger conviction to fix it here than there is other places and I hope that that shows.”

Martin said he would not have graduated college with-out state subsidies.

“During my growing up years, the state of Minneso-ta subsidized my education at a very high level,” Mar-tin said. “My home state of Minnesota has always been a very strong supporter of higher education. I would not be here were it not.”

His father graduated high school and worked as a diesel mechanic in mines. His mother didn’t gradu-ate from high school but became the mayor of their small rural town.

“It was clear to them (his parents, that) education was the only way in which the next generation was going to advance over where they started,” Martin said.

Martin is the only one of his siblings who attended a four-year college. One of his brothers is a mailman in ru-

ral Minnesota and the other manages five little radio sta-tions.

Both of Martin’s chil-dren have gone on to pur-sue higher education. His daughter, Amanda, attended the University of Wisconsin and his son, Sam, went to the University of Minnesota and went on to get a second degree at Sarah Lawrence College. Currently, Sam is completing his second mas-ter’s degree.

“I don’t think you have to have been a parent to be a university leader or a great university citizen, but in my case it helped a great deal,” Martin said.

“I literally was the dad who moved my daughter into the residence hall and didn’t want to be seen cry-ing in the hallway,” Martin said. “... I had to disguise my angst of my daughter leaving home.”

Martin’s son attended the University of Minnesota while he was there as dean of the institution and – as Martin admits – might have used his father’s status to his advantage.

“He, on more than one occasion, I discovered, had taken my all-access parking pass out of my car and was using it himself, so I had to threaten to have universi-ty police arrest him despite the fact that he was my son,” Martin said.

Coming to Colorado to join the CSU team is a tran-sition, but Martin said he is ready to do all he can to continue advancing CSU’s progress.

“I’ve always felt that Colorado State and the Colorado State system has been ahead of the national curve in several important areas and I think it can con-tinue to do that,” Martin said.

looks at plates and makes media for different brews, while tasting a variety of brews in the process.

“I have a hand in every aspect,” Rau said.

Alongside Rau are tech-nicians, production staff and “(everyone) is on the same page, which makes the process smooth,” Rau said.

There is camaraderie among brewers at Odell’s and other breweries around town, who share their pas-sion and also tend to share customers, Rau said.

As the founder, Odell’s main job is to promote the brewery outside its walls, he said. Odell’s began in 1989, and now produces around 16 to 17 beers a year.

That doesn’t include the 40 to 50 beers per year that they produce on their small brew system, solely used as samples on tours and to put on tap at the headquarters.

Odell’s is a contributor to the beer culture around Fort Collins. According to Odell, “craft brewing

grows each year anywhere from 10 to 12 percent.” Odell’s Brewery close-ly mirrors this statistic, since it grew 15 percent in the past year.

“Fort Collins is the Napa Valley of beer,” Rau said.

Breweries are both profitable and have a “laid back atmosphere,” Rau said. Beer culture contin-ues to grow, with Odell’s beginning to renovate their facilities and three new breweries opening up in Fort Collins in the next month.

By JAY WEAVERThe McClatchy Tribune

MIAMI - Not a single drop of the massive BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico touched the land-locked city of Homestead, Fla., or the Keys peninsula to the south.

But a Homestead busi-nessman saw the April 2010 oil rig explosion and subse-quent environmental disas-ter as an opportunity to cash in, authorities say. Jean Mari Lindor filed about $15 mil-lion in BP damage claims for himself and others for wages purportedly lost due to the spill's economic hit on the region's tourism and fishing industry.

Lindor submitted as

many as 700 suspicious claims, mostly for low-in-come workers who each paid him a processing fee of $300, a prosecutor said in federal court last week. As a result, Lindor and the oth-er South Florida claimants were paid about $3 million from the Gulf Coast Claims Facility, which was estab-lished by BP after the pro-tracted Deepwater Horizon spill.

Lindor, arrested earlier this month, is among nearly 110 people nationwide who have been charged with defrauding the BP oil spill fund program over the past two years, according to the Department of Justice. The majority of the offenders

have been charged in Ala-bama.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Watts-Fitzgerald said Lindor filed "fraud-ulent documents" as he allegedly fleeced the $20 billion compensation pro-gram set up by BP for oil spill victims in an agree-ment with the Obama ad-ministration.

The prosecutor said Lindor, 41, committed "multiple frauds" as he engineered an "affinity crime," noting the majority of people who filed the loss claims through his busi-ness Noula, Inc., were, like him, of Haitian descent and lived in South Florida. In court, Watts-Fitzgerald also

cast doubt about the gen-eral validity of their claims, because they lived so far away from the spill off the Gulf Coast.

Under the BP fund pro-gram, any person or busi-ness in the United States or foreign countries could file compensation claims for lost wages or other eco-nomic damage caused by the disaster, as long as they submitted proof, includ-ing legitimate documen-tation such as income tax returns and other financial records.

Lindor's Miami attor-ney, Joel DeFabio, said that he and his client "looked forward to defending the case."

It started small, with six on-campus offices gath-ering 62 backpacks and donating them to local ele-mentary schools.

Today, 13 campus em-ployees coordinate this pro-gram and more than 200 volunteers donate their time to the annual community ef-fort, called School is Cool.

“The idea was created as a community outreach program and an oppor-tunity for Colorado State University to demonstrate its commitment to helping young students succeed academically,” said Kathy Phifer, one of the founders.

Phifer believes the growth has been remarkable.

“It’s very important to remember that, in the early years, all of the money was donated by CSU employ-ees,” she said.

The program has re-cently received a grant from the Bohemian Foun-dation and the CSU Book-store.

Every $25 donation fills a backpack with the re-quired materials for each grade level.

“It adds up, college stu-dents know this,” said John Parry, the director of the CSU Bookstore.

These prices are the reason that external sup-port and every donation makes a difference in help-ing to fulfill student needs.

Parry has helped with this program for 14 years.

“It is a very nicely done student program,” he said.

With his help and the help of hundreds of volun-teers, nearly 27,000 back-packs have been delivered in the last 21 years. Today, backpacks are donated to students grades K-12.

“It has been through the dedication and com-

mitments –– both mone-tary and time –– that this program continues to grow and succeed,” Parry said.

Many CSU students remember shopping with their parents for school sup-plies when they were young-er and showing up on their first days of grade school with all their new goodies. School is Cool believes every child should have this op-portunity to start school on the right foot.

“There is no better way for us, as a great university, to put our beliefs into action than to support kids in our hometown getting what they need to succeed in school,” said Tom Milligan, vice pres-ident of External Relations. “I am so proud of CSU for starting this great program, and even more proud that we’ve kept it going for 20 years. School is Cool will be here 20 years from now too – it is that good.”

Even with all the support School is Cool receives, the organization still has needs that are not being met.

“The poverty numbers in Fort Collins are stagger-ing,” Phifer said.

However, everyone’s efforts have still impacted each student’s future in a positive way, she added.

“School is Cool is, in many ways, exactly the kind of program that makes CSU what it is.” Milligan said. “We are a community that cares about each other, and when we see a chance to help someone, we just do it.”

On a campus where nearly 15,000 bikes pass through per day, and in a town named the 11th most bike-friendly town in the country according to Bicy-cling Magazine, there are rules and regulations one must follow in order to en-sure safety for cyclists and pedestrians alike.

As students prepare for the new school year, how-ever, reading the bike safety manual given out by CSUPD might not be at the top of everyone’s to-do list. Here’s a list of the most important things to know when using a bike on campus.

#1: Bikes are, according to Colorado law, considered ve-hicles.

This means that when riding a bike, all traffic rules must be followed.

“The number one mis-conception among students is thinking that bikes are treated like pedestrians,” said Joy Childress, Traffic and Bicycle Education and Enforcement Program Co-ordinator at the CSU Police Department. “People always think they don’t have to stop at stop signs or they forget to give a verbal signal when they are about to pass some-one.”

#2: Cyclists riding at night need to have a front light and back reflector on their bike.

This is especially danger-ous at night when motorists are less likely to see a cyclist in the first place. Using a

flashing light on the front of your bike and a reflector on the back of your bike can al-leviate these problems and help motorists and pedestri-ans alike see where cyclists are located.

The CSU Police Depart-ment manual on bike safety

specifies that the light needs to be visible from 500 feet in the front and the reflector needs to be visible from 600 feet behind the bike.

#3: There is no bike riding in predetermined dismount zones on campus

All of the zones are clear-ly marked and are in effect from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. These dismount zones also apply to skateboards and in-line skates.

“I take the dismount zones and bike safety reg-ulations pretty seriously on campus, and that’s mainly because I don’t want a bike

cop to chase me down,” said Kristian Cowden, a senior psychology major. “I’ve never gotten a tick-et from them, and I hope I never will.”

The CSU Police Depart-ment issued some 666 traffic violation tickets to cyclists last fall, according to Chil-dress, who added that the

majority of these were issued because the cyclist had bro-ken one of the rules above.

To incoming freshman planning on using a bike, Cowden gives simple advice.

“Wear your helmet, even though no one else does.”

cut through the Plaza and circled the Laurel/North Campus/Moby area more than once. The Oval itself was packed once we got in there, front to back and then some,” Gamber said in an email to the Collegian.

The CSU College Re-

publicans are in the pro-cess of organizing events counter to Obama’s speech, according to club President Brad Dick. He said the de-tails will be released some-time this week.

The CSU College Dem-ocrats will be volunteering and campaigning for local candidates, said club Presi-

dent Kelsey Maez. “There’s a certain

amount of respect you need to have for the president of the U.S. when he comes to campus,” Frank said. “We need to put our best foot for-ward as a university.”

Even in the best of times, the Mississippi River is a slow and torpid thoroughfare. But when an extended drought persists and the muddy wa-ters recede, squeezing barges through the narrow channels becomes an expensive, and sometimes impossible, chore.

The great summer drought of 2012 has closed lower sections of the river, shut down harbors and forced barges to run aground as riv-er levels drop to near-record lows. With no signifi cant rains in sight, authorities respon-sible for keeping the Missis-sippi open for commerce say

things are likely to get worse before they get better.

Early Wednesday, near-ly 100 towboats and barges were backed up near Green-ville, Miss., at an 11-mile stretch of river shut down af-ter a barge ran around over-night. The barge was freed and refl oated Wednesday afternoon, but normal two-way traffi c was restricted one way, Petty Offi cer Ryan Tippets of the U.S. Coast Guard in New Orleans said.

By late afternoon, two vessels were moving north-bound, to be followed by southbound vessels over-night, Tippets said.

"We've gone from a su-

perhighway to a little one-lane road," said Robert An-derson of the Mississippi River Commission in Vicks-burg, Miss., established by Congress in 1879 to promote commerce on the river.

The backups are delaying grain and industrial products headed to markets, costing barge owners at least $10,000 a day, Anderson said. Every year, about 180 million tons of cargo fl ow up and down the Mississippi's 700-mile south-ern section between Cairo, Ill., and Baton Rouge, La. _ a vital conduit in the nation's transfer of goods. A typical barge carries 1,600 tons, ver-sus 100 tons for a rail car and 25 tons for a tractor-trailer.

River depth has dropped to just 9 feet at the confl uence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, down from a record 61.7 feet at the height of last year's Mississippi River fl oods, Anderson said. River fl ow has

dropped to 200,000 cubic feet per second from a high of 2.5 million cubic feet per second during those fl oods.

The Mississippi's all-time record low was set during the devastating 1988 drought that caused an es-timated $1 billion in losses. The river was recorded at minus 10.7 feet at Memphis that year. The level at Mem-phis on Wednesday was mi-nus 8.9 feet, Anderson said.

If the drought contin-ues, river levels at Mem-phis could conceivably set a new low, said Rene Poche of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Memphis. "We don't know what quantity of rain we need, but we do need a lot of it," Poche said in a telephone interview.

Low fl ow levels have closed at least four of the 19 harbors between Cairo and New Orleans, Anderson said, and at least a dozen barges

have run aground in August.Many barge owners are

now carrying lighter loads, costing them more per ton to move cargo but also re-ducing chances of running aground. The barges trans-port corn, soybeans, wheat, coal, chemicals, petroleum products, fertilizer and con-struction materials.

The effect on consum-er food prices is likely to be slight unless there are long and extended river closures, said Donald C. Sweeney, asso-ciate director of the Center for Transportation Studies at the University of Missouri, St. Lou-is. Most corn, soybeans and wheat are shipped to overseas markets, Sweeney said.

But because petroleum products from overseas and Texas do go to U.S. mar-kets, and increased shipping costs over extended periods could drive up gasoline pric-es slightly, Sweeney said.

Coal bound for power plants in the south could also be affected. However, transpor-tation costs represent only a fraction of overall product costs, Sweeney said.

Eight dredges are working two 12-hour shifts a day, try-ing to clear the river's main navigation channel along a 1,200-mile section from St. Louis to New Orleans, Ander-son said. A ninth dredge is to be added next week.

The so-called dustpan dredges dig down like giant dustpans, scooping up tons of sediment and discharg-ing it along the side of the channel, Poche said. A typ-ical dredge costs the corps $90,000 a day to operate.

The Corps of Engineers is charged with providing a minimum navigation chan-nel nine feet deep and 300 feet wide on the lower Mis-sissippi to keep commercial traffi c moving. Since the 1988 drought, stone dikes have been installed to help speed the fl ow of water through certain areas, re-ducing the amount of sedi-ment deposited in the navi-gation channel.

Drought causes massive traffi c jams on the Mississippi River

By PETE CAREY and BRANDON BAILEYThe McClatchy Tribune

SAN JOSE, Calif. _ Hew-lett-Packard Co. delivered a sobering earnings report Wednesday, as accounting charges forced it to declare the biggest quarterly loss in its history. And with sales down in all its major divisions, CEO Meg Whitman warned of tough times ahead.

"We're on a journey here," said Whitman, who has repeatedly warned that HP will need several years to turn its business around.

HP, the world's largest PC-maker, has struggled with slowing demand as more consumers opt to buy tablets and mobile phones instead of computers. Its other business divisions are also challenged. Since taking over as CEO 11 months ago, Whitman has vowed to push the company to develop new tech products that are both innovative and profi table, but she has not yet reversed a steady decline in the com-pany's revenue.

Whitman said Wednes-day that the company has

made progress but also fac-es many challenges, among them organizational issues, economic conditions in western Europe and Asia, a sales effort that is "not where it should be" and competitive diffi culties in its software, networking and services businesses.

The $8.9 billion third-quarter loss was not unexpected. The Palo Alto, Calif., company disclosed last month that it would be taking a massive loss be-cause of one-time charges, including a $9.2 billion write-down on paper relat-ed to its 2008 acquisition of tech services provider EDS and its earlier purchase of PC-maker Compaq. Under accounting rules, compa-nies typically must take a write-down on what's called "goodwill" when the busi-ness value of a large acquisi-tion declines from the price for which it was purchased.

The loss also includes $1.8 billion in restructuring charges, primarily severance payments related to cutting its workforce. More people are taking early retirements than expected this year. Ul-

timately, the company plans to trim 27,000 jobs by 2014.

Absent those charges, HP said it would have earned $2 billion in profi t on its $29.7

billion in revenue for the quarter.

A more recent problem with an acquisition is the performance of the British software company Auton-omy, bought for $10.3 bil-lion under prior CEO Leo Apotheker. HP has struggled to increase sales and profi t in that unit. "Overall we have a very long way to go, but we are taking steps to fi x the problem and help Autono-my succeed," Whitman said.

Despite these issues, Whitman called it "a decent quarter," with the company

exceeding guidance by de-livering adjusted earnings of $1 per share.

HP's stock fell more than 4 percent in late trading af-

ter the report. Analyst Jayson Noland at the Robert W. Baird & Co. investment fi rm said investors were react-ing to grim news on several fronts.

The company revised its earnings forecast for the rest of the year, saying it ex-pects to earn between $4.05 and $4.07 a share, excluding

one-time costs, which is at the lower end of its previous target.

Even the great-er-than-expected number of employees who opted for early retirement was a good-news, bad-news situa-tion, Noland said. While that will help HP lower its costs, he explained, "you'd rath-er hear that employees are really committed and think there are wonderful op-portunities ahead and they don't want to leave."

Whitman is attempt-ing a major remake of the company and "she gener-ally seems to be doing the right things, given the cards she's been dealt," Noland said, adding that Whitman appears to be streamlining the company's consumer business and investing stra-tegically in expanding the "enterprise" segments that sell hardware, software and services to big corporate

customers.But he agreed with

Whitman that a turnaround "doesn't happen overnight."

"There are companies with a lower cost structure, like Lenovo, and there are companies that have been much more innovative, like Apple," he said. HP is "kind of caught in the middle, trying to invest in innovation and cut costs at the same time."

While HP's earnings were better than Wall Street expected, the company re-ported sales were down in all of its major segments. Its PC sales fell 10 percent. Rev-enue from commercial com-puting hardware was down 4 percent. And sales for both the printing and technology services divisions fell 3 per-cent.

Only the software divi-sion, which contributes a tiny slice of HP's revenue, saw sales rise 18 percent, to $973 million.

HP takes huge quarterly earnings hit from low demand

“Overall we have a very long way to go but we are taking steps

to � x the problem and help Autonomy succeed.”

Meg Whitman | (CEO of HP)



By CRIS TILLERThe Rocky Mountain Collegian

Memories of last year’s loss to CU-Boulder bring up sore memories for offensive tackle Joe Caprioglio.

It wasn’t even the 28-14 loss that was hardest to swal-low for the fifth-year senior as he recalled that fateful day nearly one year ago. It was the injury to his ACL and a lost season which stung.

When spring football came around, he was still left to watch as the offensive line struggled.

“It was hard, but not nearly as hard as last fall,” Caprioglio said.

Injuries to Caprioglio and Jared Biard left the of-fensive line devoid of bod-ies, forcing guys to play more snaps than usual and it showed on the field. The Rams’ line lost a lopsided battle in the trenches, sur-rendering 27 sacks in the the team’s first scrimmage.

With Caprioglio and Bi-ard back for fall camp, the offensive line made signifi-cant progress since April.

“We’ve added a lot of depth with the three guys that were injured and didn’t take a lot of snaps,” coach Jim McElwain said. “You add three guys, especially two that are considered starters, and take them out you’re gonna struggle.”

McElwain pointed to spring as an opportunity for players to get quality reps where they otherwise wouldn’t. He said the im-proved line, top to bottom, allows him to play an eight man rotation during the sea-son.

The guy happiest to have a healthy, deep front five is quarterback Garrett Grayson.

“It’s night and day differ-ence from spring till now,” Grayson said. “Having Joe and Biard back is great. It makes it easier on me and I think it makes it easier on them too because I’m not so worried about the defensive line gettin’ to me. I’m look-ing down field and making reads quicker and so they don’t have to block for as long.”

The biggest strength of CSU’s offensive line is pre-

season Outland, Rimington, Lombardi candidate Weston Richburg. The 6-foot-4, 297 pound center is widely con-sidered one of CSU’s best players and a sure-fire NFL caliber offensive lineman.

“It all starts up front in the middle,” McElwain said. “That’s where all the calls are started and echoed inside out, so having a guy that’s played as many snaps as he has is huge.”

Even Grayson has gone home with tales of Rich-burg’s tenacity at the point of attack.

“I always tell my dad and

family he’s got the offensive line mentality, that mean streak, he wants to bury peo-ple into the ground, so he’s a guy you love to have up there,” he said.

With a new season quickly approaching, Cap-rioglio and the rest of the offensive line can lead the way to erasing the memo-ry that’s haunted him since last fall.

“We have a lot of guys with games under their belt, so I definitely feel like we can be (the strength of the team),” Caprioglio said. “Now that we have all the

plays kind of wrapped up and starting to understand everything well, you can see it kind of coming together.”

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (08/23/12). This year could be great for your career. You’ve been developing strong financial hab-its, and things are moving forward, even if you’re lacking rec-ognition. It’s coming. In October, the focus shifts to relation-ships and even romance ... you know: the important stuff.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easi-est day, 0 the most challenging.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) ––7–– Take your ideas public. Say them out loud and describe yourself anew for the next six weeks. Love blossoms. If it’s hard to put feelings into words, try finding a song that fits.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ––7 –– Ask a friend to help you learn what you don’t already know. You’ll do well to delegate for about six weeks. Hold on to your money. Success is as-sured. Wait.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ––6–– Conditions for making money improve over the next two months or so. Put in neces-sary corrections and work faster. Treat yourself to something sweet.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ––8–– You’ll pass this test. Gath-er all the information you need and get into action. Beware of misunderstandings that could turn into silly arguments. Put on a good appearance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ––8–– Come up with a plan for fix-ing everything in the next six weeks. Ask for a referral from someone who knows. Don’t buy unnecessary toys or touch your savings.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ––7–– If you’re talking, you’re not listening. Make a beneficial commitment. Do it over and over until you get it right. You get a better deal now. Water the flowers.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ––8–– Explore the territory. A female creates a perfect setting for love. You’ll find lots of things to buy, but don’t believe everything you hear. Make sure you understand.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)––8–– Deliveries get delayed if sent now. For about six weeks, focus on personal devel-opment and get into action. When the plan doesn’t work, change it. Draw upon hidden resources.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ––5–– Focus on the work that you love doing. The boring stuff seems even more boring and repetitive. Start an exercise program that you can keep. Write a letter.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)––7–– Follow the yellow brick road. Don’t forget to bring some friends along for the ride. Get romantic, but don’t be misled by the hype. Write up meeting notes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ––7–– Figure out what you want professionally, and go for it. The odds are in your favor now, and will be for a long while. Revive some old leads and create new opportunities.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ––7–– Put in corrections care-fully, and avoid misunderstandings. You can be very persua-sive now, as long as you don’t forget your commitments. It’s a better time to travel.
