- Rockies lose wild game 12-11 to Padres
- September 16, 2012
- Colorado Rockies reliever Adam Ottavino spoke softly but it was very clear he took Sunday’s loss personally.

Colorado scored six times in the eighth, tying the game on rookie Josh Rutledge’s grand slam. Ottavino faced nine batters in the fifth inning and managed to get just two outs.

- 1 year on, Occupy is in disarray; spirit lives on
- September 16, 2012
- Occupy Wall Street began to disintegrate in rapid fashion last winter, when the weekly meetings in New York City devolved into a spectacle of fistfights and vicious arguments. Punches were thrown and objects were hurled at moderators’ heads. Protesters accused each other of being patriarchal and racist and domineering. Nobody could agree on anything and nobody was in charge. The moderators went on strike and refused to show up, followed in quick succession by the people who kept meeting minutes. And then the meetings stopped altogether. In the city where the movement was born, Occupy was falling apart. “We weren’t talking about real things at that point,” says Pete Dutro, a tattoo artist who used to manage Occupy’s finances but became disillusioned by the infighting and walked away months ago. “We were talking about each other.”

- Losing can wear on a team’s spirit, but it doesn’t seem to affect the Moffat County High School volleyball team. That could mean better results are on the horizon. After a 1-7 start to the season, the Bulldogs played three games last week, and went 1-2. It started with a three-set loss to Coal Ridge Thursday, 25-12, 25-7, 25-19. That had head coach Sandy Camilletti disappointed. “We could beat them,” Camilletti said. “We gave up too many big runs. Our goal is not to let a team score more than three points in a row. We give up runs of seven or eight in a row, and it’s killing us.” Surrendering extended runs to the other team is a problem Camilletti has noticed all season. In the rally scoring system of volleyball, giving up several points in a row can be difficult to recover from in a set.

- Health care officials repond to questions about physician retention
- September 16, 2012
- We share intimate details with them, revealing parts of our body that we’d probably rather not. They earn our trust and sometimes our friendship. We put our faith in them to diagnose and heal our bodies. And then they leave. Physician retention in Craig, a major problem to some and expected by others, seems to have no clear cut answer.
