Ladies and gentlemen, start your carboys. This week, Cra-zy Mountain Brewery will ac-cept entries for the first annual Crazy Mountain ProAm – a competition designed to give local homebrewers a shot at the big leagues.
Through Friday, brewers can deliver their entries to the Cra-zy Mountain tasting room in Edwards. Contestants should bring two bottles of brew – ei-ther 12 or 24 ounces – for the judges.
There’s no limit for the num-ber of entries, so prolific brew-ers can enter several different types of beer. Because there’s only one prize, this means more entries can only mean better chances. One brewer who en-tered the competition early will put nine different beers before the judges.
The winner of the contest will be announced on Jan. 21, and will have the opportunity to brew a 17.5-barrel batch of their recipe with Crazy Moun-tain’s equipment. This prize isn’t for wimps, though – it
means a 14-hour day of work, starting at 4:30 a.m.
The beer will be featured as the tenth tap in the Crazy Mountain tasting room, and samples will be distributed to local bars and restaurants that carry the brewery’s other prod-ucts.
If it sells, the brewers just might keep it on, said Marisa Aguilar, the brewery’s director of marketing.
“They get the satisfaction of knowing they have amaz-ing beer,” she said. The lucky winner will also receive an en-dorsement from Crazy Moun-tain in the Great American Beer Festival in Denver next year.
Founded in January of last year by Aguilar and her fiancé, Kevin Selvy, Crazy Moun-tain has proven to be one of Edwards’ success stories. The brewery now distributes its beer to 22 bars and restaurants in Eagle and Routt counties. They recently started canning their Crazy Mountain Amber Ale, and Aguilar said they are burning through the 100,000 cans they ordered.
“We are around the clock fill-ing them,” she said.

Call us today to fi nd out why this treatment is in almost

for improved speed of recovery from injury, injury prevention and for
performance enhancement by the Olympic teams for the US and Canada.
If you have ever suffered with chronic pain in the knee, you know how frustrat-ing it can be. After years of running, ten-
nis, cycling, hiking, skiing, kayaking, etc., I have developed pain from no reason or injury. After ice, rest, and not getting better I sought evaluation and treatment. I met an aeronautical engineer/test pilot who went on to become a sports injury specialist. He was developing at the time a new active form of muscular treatment called active release techniques (ART).
of the entire leg. He explained to me that the muscles were overworked and had developed over-use injuries which would not allow them to get stronger. He further explained that these soft tissue injuries could be resolved by ART, then the area could be strengthened without pain.
Needless to say it worked!! I have been studying this technique for several years.
After a quick evaluation of the region, he was able to see that the muscles of the foot and hip were placing stress on the quadriceps, which was so tight that they were weakened and unable to support the appropriate and balanced tracking of the knee cap.
In order to fl ex the knee, we had to cor-rect all the problems along the kinetic chain

The U.S. Cross Country Ski Team selected 13 athletes yester-day in Rumford, Maine, at the 2011 U.S. Cross Country Championships to represent the U.S. in the 2011 World U-23 Cross Country Ski Championships. The World U-23 Ski Championships will be held in Otepea, Estonia, Jan. 27-31.
“The U-23 Championships is the launch pad for World Cup rac-ing. An exceptional performance at this event opens doors,” said World U-23 Head Coach Matt Whitcomb. “These U.S. athletes have compet-
ed internationally on multiple occa-sions, and their opportunity for suc-cess against the best in the world for their age is at a high.”
Leading the seven person men’s team are 2010 U.S. Champion Tad Elliot of Durango, and the U.S. Ski Team’s Noah Hoffman of Aspen, who has placed solid top 35 results in two World Cups this season.
For the women, Ida Sargent of Vermont, who earned a fourth at World U-23s last year, and 2010 U.S. champion Sadie Bjornsen of Washington will front the six-per-
son women’s team.Over the course of five days, the
USA skiers will compete in three events, beginning with the men’s and women’s 15/10k free tech-nique Jan. 27. The Championships will end Jan. 31 with the men’s and women’s 30/15k pursuit.
“A podium at this event tends to be on par with a top-30 in a World Cup event,” Whitcomb said of the level of the field that competes in the World U-23 Ski Champion-ships.
The World U-23 Ski Champion-ships is coupled with the World Junior Ski Championships, which begin Jan. 26.
Colo skiers to lead US at U-23 Cross Country Championships
The U.S. Ski Team’s Kikkan Randall and Kris Free-man continued their march through the Tour de Ski yesterday. Despite wax challenges in a rainy, wet round
seven of the eight-stage Tour de Ski, Randall was 27th and Freeman 38th in a mass start classic technique race in Val di Fiemme, Italy. Freeman and Randall are poised to become the first Americans to ski the entire tour, now in its fifth year.
Tour leader Justyna Kowalczyk won the women’s 10k. In the men’s 20k, Norway’s Petter Northug edged by tour leader Dario Cologna of Switzerland by 1.8 seconds. Northug, however, won several strategic bonus
sprints to move within 1:18 of the tour leader with one stage remaining.
Temperatures just above freezing and a cold rain made it a tough day for skis.
“We had a rough day waxing,” said Cross Country Head Coach Chris Grover. “Kris was ready to have a good race but we made a critical last minute error on
waxing – there’s no other way to get around it. It really took him out of it in a place where’s he had some suc-cess.”
Heading into today’s final event, Grover was happy with the Team’s debut on the tour.
“Overall it’s been a really good experience for us,” he said. “We’ve never made it this far through the tour and everyone’s healthy! That’s not been the case for a lot of athletes on a lot of teams. We’ve had good pre-partion and living conditions.
“Our focus now is to see how good a race they can put together tomorrow,” he added.
Today’s finale is the Tour de Ski’s version of the Tour de France’s Alpe d’Huez. The stage starts with a show lap in the Lago di Tesero stadium, then heads down the Marcialonga ski track before heading straight up an alpine hill. It’s a similar course where nordic combined star Billy Demong won a year ago. While the Ameri-cans aren’t battling for titles, Grover is looking for strong finishing performances for World Cup points.
Randall stands 22nd in the Tour, with Freeman 33rd. American Andy Newell dropped out after the final sprint race earlier in the week.

World Cup giant slalom leader Ted Ligety put it all on the line yesterday before going down on his hip and break-ing his string of three World Cup GS victories. France’s Cyprien Richard and Norway’s Aksel Lund Svindal produced a rare tie for the win, while Olympic champion Bode Miller finished 22nd and Ligety 28th.
There was a lot at stake for Ligety as he slid into the start house for the first run of GS on the classic Adelboden course. He came in with a three GS win streak and had a chance to be the first racer in 32 years to clinch four consecutive GS World Cup races in a single season.
Things were looking good after the first run as Ligety posted the fastest time, building a .36 cushion for the second run despite nearly sliding out near the finish. The win was in his reach as 30,000 fans echoed through the legendary alpine valley where the World Cup was born in early 1967.
“Despite that mistake right before the finish, I’m really happy with my run,” said Ligety. “I’m psyched about the position I’m in for the second run and the snow is perfect for me. It’s warm, nice and slushy, just like spring in Park City.”
The light then went out on Ligety. As the afternoon set on Adelboden, so did the light on the race hill with the final 10 racers skiing in extremely flat condi-tions.
With a spectacular second run in ex-
cellent light conditions, Richard, who was a second and a half behind Ligety after the first run, took full advantage of the early round two start to move up 20 spots while Svindal jumped from sixth for the win.
Awaiting potential history, the fans cheered with support and excitement as Ligety kicked out of the start. However, today was not his day. Tough light con-ditions and falling on his hip silenced his GS streak. As a loud sigh echoed from the crowd, Ligety bounced back onto the course after letting out a frustrated scream to finish 28th.
“He went out about a third of the way into the second run and then got back up and continued,” explained technical head Mike Day. “It’s a bit of a bummer, but he showed again first run where his GS is right now.”
Miller, the only other American to qualify for the second run, was one of just two racers outside of the top 30 to make the second run start list. With an incredibly tight first run, Miller squeezed into the flip with 26th and finished the day in 22nd.
Although disappointed, the U.S. Ski Team has already shifted gears to Sun-day’s race and began training slalom im-mediately after the race finished.
“That’s ski racing,” said Day. “We’ll move on and get ready for slalom tomor-row.”
Ligety and Miller will be joined by David Chodounsky, Will Brandenburg and Nolan Kasper in today’s slalom. The race is scheduled to start at 4:30 a.m. ET with live streaming available at www.UniversalSports.com.

In a scene straight out of college, Pete Carroll stood in the middle of a pile on the midfield logo, jumping up and down with his players celebrating in unison.
The labels stuck on the seven-win Seattle Seahawks — jokes, lightweights, laughingstocks — no longer fit Saturday.
That’s when Carroll’s rowdy crew sent the defend-ing Super Bowl champions packing, pulling one of the most unlikely upsets in playoff history, a 41-36 win over the New Orleans Saints.
Who Dat moving on in the NFC playoffs? It’s the Seahawks.
“It didn’t matter what I said to them, or what was said outside, and all of the story lines and all that, they just
did not buy it,” Carroll said. “Where that came from? If I knew that, we’d have something special here. It came out of an attitude and it came out of a faith in one another.”
Matt Hasselbeck threw four touchdown passes and Marshawn Lynch scored on an electrifying 67-yard run with 3:22 left to clinch the first playoff victory by a losing team.
The Seahawks (8-9) held a 34-20 early in the fourth quarter before Drew Brees looked ready to lead the Saints (11-6) on one of their patented comebacks. But Lynch broke a half-dozen tackles for his TD and a few anxious minutes later, the party was on at Qwest Field, the NFL’s loudest stadium.
Heading into 2nd round of playoffs, Seahawks still have losing record
As trade rumors surrounding Carmelo Anthony con-tinue to swirl around the NBA, Denver native and Nug-gets guard Chauncey Billups tries his best to tune them out, even if his named is thrown in the mix.
Billups was mentioned in the most recent trade ru-mors to pop up. ESPN, citing unnamed sources, said the New Jersey Nets are trying to get the Detroit Pis-tons involved in a deal to acquire Anthony, and Billups would be thrown into the mix as well.
The Nuggets wouldn’t comment on the speculation.The proposed three-way trade would end up sending
Anthony, Billups and Pistons guard Richard Hamilton to New Jersey, with the Nuggets possibly receiving rookie Derrick Favors, guard Devin Harris and two first-round picks. But Detroit’s interest in the current deal is lukewarm at best, according to ESPN.
Billups brushed off the speculation after practice Sat-urday, saying he would concentrate only on what he can control — his play on the court.
“My grandma taught me that a long, long time ago,” Billups said. “I can’t control it, I control this (basket-ball) the best I can. I kind of worry about that. It (spec-ulation) really has no bearing on what I do out here.”
Billups’ thoughts are squarely focused in lifting the Nuggets out of their funk after the team dropped two straight road games to the Los Angeles Clippers and Sacramento Kings, who have a combined 19 wins.
“Our defense just wasn’t good enough — simple as that,” Billups said. “We didn’t compete hard enough. We didn’t take it as serious enough defensively.”
Nuggets coach George Karl refuses to press the panic button just yet, saying lulls like this are typical through-out a season.
“You always have at least three or four mini-crises ev-ery year,” Karl said. “Disappointed in how we reacted
in Sacramento, how we played? Yeah. But we weren’t that far away from being a good basketball team. Just got to, as much as anything, keep the funk out of your team, the frustration.”
Karl doesn’t think all the speculation over Anthony was affecting the psyche of his team. To him, the Inter-net rumors amounted to nothing more than barbershop gossip.
“You don’t know what’s true or isn’t true at the bar-bershop,” Karl said. “I don’t have time to figure these things out. My job is to prepare.”
That’s a sentiment shared by Billups.However, being a hometown kid who was a high
school legend and then a star at the University of Colo-rado, he’s made it known he would like to stay in the Mile High City.
“I’ve been very clear about that,” Billups said. “I also know this is professional sports and this is a busi-ness. I hope that I’m here. Everybody knows that. If I’m not, I’m going to do the best I can with whatever happens.”
Billups has been bothered lately by a partially torn ligament in his right wrist, but said the injury is on the mend and no longer affecting his jumper. He’s averag-ing nearly 17 points and five assists a game.
As for management mentioning anything to him to quash the rumors, Billups said nothing has been vocal-ized.
Not that he’s worried.“It’s always a chance, always a chance,” Billups said.
“But you can say that for anybody in this room.”Anthony has been the constant subject of trade spec-
ulation since he spurned the Nuggets’ three-year, $65 million extension over the summer, saying he wants to keep his options open.

His exact motivation was not clear. High school classmate Grant Wiens, 22, said Loughner seemed to be “float-ing through life” and “doing his own thing.”
Giffords was among at least 10 peo-ple wounded, and the hospital said her outlook was optimistic as she was re-sponding to commands from doctors despite having a bullet go through her head. The death toll included a 9-year-old girl, federal judge John Roll, and a staffer for the Democratic congresswoman.
14 decapitated bodies found in Acapulco
The bodies of 15 men, all but one of them headless, were found on a street outside a shopping center in Acapulco on yesterday as police reported 27 people slain in the Pacific resort in less than a day.
The decapitated victims, all of whom appeared to be in their 20s, were discovered in an area not frequented by tourists.
Handwritten signs left with the bodies were signed by “El Chapo’s People” - a reference to the Sinaloa car-tel, headed by drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman - said Fernando Monreal Leyva, director of investigative police for Guerrero state, where Acapulco is located.
The narco-messages indicated the Sinaloa cartel killed them for trying to intrude on the gang’s turf and extort residents. Authorities said there were at least three minors among the dead.
Mexico’s drug cartels have increasingly taken to beheading their victims in a grisly show of force, but Saturday’s discovery was the largest single group of decapitation victims found in recent years.
Acapulco has been the site of fierce battles between drug gangs, and this weekend got off to a bloody start with 27 people killed there from Friday evening to early Saturday, Leyva said. At least 30,196 people have died in drug-related violence since President Felipe Calde-ron launched an offensive against cartels in late 2006.
Actor injured in ‘Spider-Man’ returns
to the showThe actor badly hurt when he tumbled from the stage
at the Broadway musical “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” returned to the theater for the first time since his accident, going backstage to wish the castmembers good luck and then watching Friday’s performance from the safety of the orchestra seats.
“It’s what I’ve been waiting for for the past two weeks - to see my friends and finally watch the show,” Christopher Tierney told The Associated Press after the performance. Wearing a pea coat, a scarf and a back brace decorated with Spider-Man stickers, he said it
was “awesome” to be back.Tierney’s appearance came 18 days after he fell 35
feet into the orchestra pit in front of a shocked preview audience when his safety harness failed. The 31-year-old suffered a fractured skull, a fractured shoulder blade, four broken ribs and three broken vertebrae dur-ing his Dec. 20 tumble.
US court demands WikiLeaks’ Twitter

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said he believed other American Internet companies such as Facebook and Google may also have been ordered to divulge in-formation on himself and colleagues. Neither Facebook Inc. nor Google Inc. immediately returned messages seeking comment yesterday on possible subpoenas.
Chilean miner goes to Graceland
Hundreds of Elvis Presley fans, including Chilean miner Edison Pena, have gathered at Graceland to sing “Happy Birthday” on the late rock n’ roll icon’s 76th birthday.
Pena, the guest of honor yesterday at Elvis’ birthday party, cut into a 4-foot high cake fashioned to look like stacked television sets as fans cheered both the singer and the miner outside Elvis’ longtime Memphis home.
Presley was born Jan. 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Miss.His birthday, while meaningful to Elvis fans around
the world, does not attract the throngs of people who make the pilgrimage to Graceland to remember his death. He died Aug. 16, 1977.
Pena has said that Presley’s music helped him when he and 32 fellow miners were trapped underground last year.

Army’s 101st has deadliest year since Vietnam
The Army’s famed 101st Airborne Division has suf-fered its deadliest year in combat since Vietnam, with the deaths of 106 soldiers since March.
The military announced the most recent death yes-terday. Spc. Christian Joseph Romig, of Kenner, La., died on Wednesday after being struck by an improvised explosive device in eastern Afghanistan.
The Fort Campbell-based division has accounted for about 1 in 5 American deaths in Afghanistan over the past year.
The division known as the Screaming Eagles, formed ahead of the 1944 Allied invasion of Normandy, has been part of President Barack Obama’s troop surge to push back Afghan insurgents.
The division’s 17,000 Afghan-deployed troops will be returning over the next few months. A group of 275 arrived home Friday night.
Unclaimed veterans buried in NY with full honors
A New York cemetery has held a mass funeral for 20 military veterans whose remains were never claimed.
They were buried yesterrday with full military hon-ors at Calverton National Cemetery on eastern Long Island.
All of them died recently. No one claimed their re-mains.
The Department of Veterans Affairs says the service is part of a national effort to clear a backlog of unburied or unclaimed veterans’ remains.
A folded flag from each coffin was handed to mourn-ers standing in for absent relatives. They included members of Gold Star Mothers, a group of parents who lost their children in the military.
Neither rain, nor bombs, nor anthrax
Postal workers who returned to work Saturday said a package that ignited at a government mail facility conjured painful memories of the anthrax attacks that killed two of their colleagues in 2001.
The fiery package found Friday, which was addressed to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, fol-lowed two packages that ignited Thursday in Maryland
state government mailrooms. It halted government mail until bomb-sniffing dogs could sweep the D.C. facility.
Mail processing resumed Saturday morning after a meeting with workers, the local postmaster and the workers’ union.
Postal workers union President Dena Briscoe said that the meeting was helpful but that the fiery package worried many employees. She said most of the postal workers also were sorting D.C. mail back in 2001, when letters containing anthrax were sent to lawmakers and news organizations as the nation was still reeling from the 9/11 attacks.
Clooney understands plight of Sudan, newsmen How do you get a long-suffering but little-known
slice of Africa on the White House agenda and onto American TV screens? George Clooney knows how.
Humble, self-effacing and dressed for safari, the Hollywood star and former Sexiest Man Alive was in the scruffy, straw-hut capital of Southern Sudan on Saturday to draw attention to the region’s week-long independence referendum.
The vote, which begins Sunday, is likely to create the world’s new-est nation. Clooney is working to
help the region avoid a backslide toward war.In picking a cause and roughing it in a developing
country, Clooney is hardly alone. Celebrities are shin-ing their star power on the poor, the war-weary and the disaster-prone more than ever.
“Our job is trying to keep this on the front burner of the news,” Clooney told The Associated Press. “I’m the son of newsman. I understand how hard it is to keep stories on the front of news, and sometimes entertain-ment and news can be meshed together if you do it properly.”
Break out the fish netFor the first time in at least a century, U.S. fishermen
won’t take too much of any species from the sea, one of the nation’s top fishery scientists says.
The projected end of overfishing comes during a tur-bulent fishing year that’s seen New England fishermen switch to a radically new management system. But scientist Steve Murawski said that for the first time in written fishing history, which goes back to 1900, “As far as we know, we’ve hit the right levels, which is a milestone.”
“And this isn’t just a decadal milestone, this is a cen-tury phenomenon,” said Murawski, who retired last week as chief scientist at the National Oceanic and At-mospheric Administration’s Fisheries Service.

just belief and the cool factor – just staying cool even though you make mistakes.”
Despite taking a wide turn on Lechwald or the “Mil-ka Turn” as it’s known to U.S. coaches, Vonn proved once again she is the queen of speed making up time at the bottom of the course.
“It definitely got wild. I came into the last section with a lot of speed. I had a good line coming in, but I must have hit some soft snow,” explained Vonn. “It cost me a lot of speed. I knew if I could carry my speed on the next left footed turn I could make some time up on the last couple of turns. I guess I did that, but it was
tough.”Teammate and fellow Olympic champion Julia Man-
cuso experienced trouble on the same section as Vonn and finished 16th.
Sweden’s Anja Paerson finished behind Vonn in sec-ond with Austria’s Anna Fenninger in third. Despite gaining 50 points on overall World Cup leader Riesch, Vonn remains 136 points behind heading into today’s super G.
“It was a difficult race, but I’m happy to get the win today,” Vonn said.
