Professor tapped for $8.3M studyRob Knight tostudy microbesin digestivesystemBy Mitchell ByarsCamera Staff Writer

A University of Colorado pro-fessor will participate in an $8.3million Bill and Melinda GatesFoundation study to find newways to treat malnutrition in in-

fants and chil-dren.

Rob Knight,a scientist atCU’s BioFron-tiers Institute,will work witha researchteam that willinclude CU students from theInterdisciplinary QuantitativeBiology program. Knight saidthe study of the unique mi-crobes in a person’s digestivesystem could help to determine

which bacteria could affect theway a person’s body processesfood.

“We’re hoping to discoverthe basis for malnutrition,”Knight said. “It’s extremely ex-citing, and has profound impli-cations in how microbes affecthuman health.”

Knight’s team will be incharge of analyzing data fromthe study as well as developingnew technology for testing.

The study, led by Dr. JeffreyGordon from Washington Uni-

versity School of Medicine inSt. Louis, seeks to understandhow the “personalized” bacteriain a person’s intestines affectsmalnutrition in infants and chil-dren in ways that go beyond aperson’s diet.

Hundreds of strains of bacte-ria will be isolated from the in-testines of individual peopleand then cultivated in mice tosee which strains are the mostcritical in processing food.

Scientists are hoping that bydetermining which particularmicrobes affect malnutrition,

new treatments could be creat-ed and distributed to countrieswith rampant child malnutri-tion. Treatments could rangefrom probiotics to certain dietsthat could help reverse severemalnutrition.

Knight said the study couldeven result in new ways oftreating other dietary problemssuch as childhood obesity.

“This study will have a signif-icant impact on human health,”he said. “It’s critically importantand could provide a templatefor future studies.”

School lunch

Polis:Pizzanot aveggieCamera staff

LOUISVILLE — U.S. Rep.Jared Polis, D-Boulder, iswaging a campaign to pre-vent pizza from being count-ed as a vegetable in schoolmeals.

Polis unveiled the SLICE— School Lunch Improve-ments for Children’s Educa-tion — Acton Mondayat Louis-ville MiddleSchool.Last year,the U.S.Depart-ment of Ag-ricultureproposed a rule that wouldhave prevented pizza frombeing counted as a vegetablein meals.

But Congress succumbedto lobbying from the frozenfood industry and blocked it,according to Polis.

“Agribusinesses shouldnever dictate the quality ofschool meals,” Polis said in awritten statement. “Big foodcompanies have their priori-ties, which include sellingcheap, unhealthy foods athigh profits. But parents andschools have their priorities;making sure our kids eatright because researchshows a clear connection be-tween nutrition and studentperformance in school.”

Polis was joined at Louis-ville Middle School by Boul-der Valley School Districtfood services Director AnnCooper, who said she sup-ports Polis’ campaign tomake school lunches health-ier.

“We just really supportkids eating more fruits andvegetables,” Cooper said.“Two tablespoons of tomatopaste should not be consid-ered a vegetable.”

Languishingshopping centerin foreclosureBy John AguilarCamera Staff Writer

LAFAYETTE — The prolifer-ation of potholes in the parkinglot of Plaza Lafayette has madethe approach to the languishingshopping center on South Boul-der Road, with all of its dodgingand darting, a bit of an adven-

ture these days.So much so that Vision

Quest Karate owner and long-time plaza tenant ChristopherSpann is launching a contestthis week that awards a $25 dis-count to the customer who cancorrectly guess how manygouges there are in the pave-ment.

While a good-natured effort,Spann said, the contest is also avery real cry of frustration atthe state of the shopping center16 years after he opened his ka-rate school there.

“I’m embarrassed when Idrive in,” he said. “I want tocome off as a professional es-tablishment.”

Spann and his fellow tenantsmay get some help next month,when Plaza Lafayette goes upfor sale at auction. U.S. Bank,which foreclosed on the proper-ty earlier this year, wants to re-coup much of the $2.6 millionloan it holds on the property.

More than half of the centeris vacant, and the owners ofLongmont-based Cheese Im-porters, who own the

93,000-square-foot building at400 W. South Boulder Road,have failed to open a storefrontat the plaza nearly a decadeafter they pledged to do so.

“I’m hoping someone withbigger pockets takes over,”Spann said. “I think it needs alot of money to make it a viablecenter, and unfortunately thereseems to be a lot of retail spaceavailable elsewhere.”

Student-designed CU researchcabin to save school thousandsSustainabilityproject part ofenvironmentaldesign classBy Whitney BryenFor the Camera

Students from an environ-mental design class at the Uni-versity of Colorado are slatedto save the school’s MountainResearch Station thousands ofdollars by designing andbuilding a new sustainablecabin.

The students said they ex-pect the 900-square-foot, net-zero energy cabin to runabout $200,000 — a savings ofnearly 50 percent. The stu-dents said most savings are at-tributed to design and laborreductions for the mountainenvironmental science facility.

“They’re getting free laborfrom students,” said recentCU graduate Anna Nord. “Thebudget would double if wehad to hire contractors tobuild it, versus students.”

Tulo workingto end slumpBy Troy E. RenckThe Denver Post

SAN FRANCISCO — For Troy Tulowitzki,the standings are a reflection of what he sees inthe mirror.

He’s not playing well, and not surprisingly,the team has followed suit.

“No one is more frustrated than I am with myperformance. I understand the criticism. I knowwhat I signed up for,” Tulowitzki said. “I can tellyou I am working hard to get better.”

Tulowitzki arrived early Monday to take extrabatting practice. He’s fallen into a slump, hittingtoo many flyballs, traced to anxiousness at theplate.

“We need Tulo to play like an aircraft carrier,but he can’t put somuch pressure onhimself. We haveyoung guys and veter-ans doing that rightnow,” general manag-er Dan O’Dowd said.

After hitting fifthSunday, Tulo returnedto the cleanup spotagainst the Giants. He worked a walk in his firstat-bat, but entered the game just 3-for-18 on theroad trip.

“I will get through this,” Tulowitzki said.Colvin center of attention

Tyler Colvin started in center field again, butmanager Jim Tracy said that Dexter Fowler hasnot been reduced to a platoon outfielder. TheRockies wanted to give Fowler another day torest after he got hit in the face running the basesSunday. Tracy indicated that Colvin will continueto see time at first base, likely on Wednesday, tospell Todd Helton.Alfonzo’s future murky

Catcher Eliezer Alfonzo’s future with theRockies remains uncertain after Major LeagueBaseball dropped its 100-game suspension for apositive drug test because of chain-of-commandprocedural issues.

The Rockies have outrighted the veteran toTriple-A, where he is on the restricted list untilhe’s able to obtain a travel VISA from Venezuela.When he Alfonzo is able to report, the Rockieswill make a decision on his status.Notable

Todd Helton attended the funeral serviceMonday of former Rockies owner JerryMcMorris in Denver and returned in time forbatting practice.

McNamee: I gave Clemens steroids in 1998Speaking softly, nervously and in detail, Brian McNamee

testified about the life-changing moment when, he said, hefirst gave Roger Clemens a “booty shot” of steroids.

The government’s star witness in the Clemens perjuryretrial took the stand Monday and told the jury that he in-jected one of baseball’s most successful pitchers withsteroids about eight to 10 times when they were with theToronto Blue Jays in 1998.

“I knew what I was doing was illegal,” McNamee said. “Iwish to God I could take it back.”

Clemens is charged with lying to Congress when he tes-tified in 2008 that he had never used steroids or humangrowth hormone. The first attempt to try him last Julyended in a mistrial when prosecutors showed the jury asnippet of videotaped evidence that had been ruled inad-missible.

NotableRoyals start pitcher Danny Duffy was diagnosed with a

torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow. Duffy wasput on the 15-day disabled list, when an MRI revealed theinjury.

The Rays placed outfielder Desmond Jennings on the15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 12, and recalledutilityman Stephen Vogt from Triple-A Durham.

Andy Pettitte will be guaranteed his full $2.5 millionfrom the New York Yankees come Thursday. Pettitte wasput on the major league roster Sunday after missing the2011 season. His contract calls for a $2 million base salary,and since he missed the first 39 days of the season theprorated share of his base pay is $1,573,770.

The Indians designated struggling reliever Dan Wheel-er for assignment.

Braun arbritrator fired by MLB managemetMajor League Baseball management fired Shyam Das,

the arbitrator who overturned Ryan Braun’s drug suspen-sion in February.

MLB informed Das and the players’ association of itsdecision last week. Das had been baseball’s permanent ar-bitrator since 1999, part of what technically is a three-manpanel that also includes a representative of managementand labor.

“Shyam is the longest-tenured panel chair in our bar-gaining relationship,” union head Michael Weiner said. “For13 years, from the beginning to the end of his tenure, heserved the parties with professionalism and distinction.”

Baseball’s collective bargaining agreement says the ar-bitrator can be removed by the players’ association ormanagement at any time with written notice.

NotableRight-hander Tim Stauffer was reinstated from the dis-

abled list by the Padres so he could make his season de-but by starting against the Nationals on Monday night.

Nationals manager Davey Johnson said Henry Rodri-guez remains the team’s closer — and Johnson doesn’twant to be asked about it anymore.

The Cardinals are down to one left-hander in the bull-pen after releasing J.C. Romero.
