...frequent-fire regime that prevailed in the ponderosa pine forests of Arizona and New Mexico, for example, kept fuels low over widespread areas. In the ponderosa pine forests of Colorado's Front Range, however, big burns were spaced farther apart, allowing flammable material to accumulate. These fires rolled through every few decades or so and occasionally burned extremely hot. Their legacy, says Merrill Kaufmann, a senior scientist with the U.S. Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Research Station, was a mosaic of forested areas that alternated with clearings ranging from 5 acres to 100 acres in size...
Born in New Mexico to Yemeni parents, al-Aulaqi studied engineering at Colorado State University. Friends describe him as warm and adamantly nonviolent.

The Catskills hotels in New York are turning into meditation retreats so quickly that the Borscht Belt is being renamed...
...keeping with the practice of not identifying rape victims, mainstream media has shied away from divulging details about the 19-year-old college student from Colorado who has accused Kobe Bryant of sexual assault. But information about the young woman's identity is available online - much of which is inaccurate or false. What do you think: does the public have a right to know in such a high-profile case, or is this a violation of the accuser's right to privacy? Do you think this sort of posting should be allowed...
