While the mountain west is struggling to recover from recession, a few of the region's large metro cities, including Colorado Springs, have fully recovered their economic output and surpassed pre-recession gross metropolitan product levels. A Mountain Monitor report released today by the Brookings Institute shows that Colorado Spring had fewer job losses than most of the region. The report covers Colorado as well as Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.

Ship is home, not hotel RE "A FRUGAL FLEET to the rescue," Michael E. O'Hanlon column, Nov. 16: It amazes me that people in think tanks such as O'Hanlon at the Brookings Institute surmise they have the solution for efficiency in the Navy. It is obvious that he has zero experience aboard any ship. If he did, he would know that each ship is different, regardless of whether it is the same class.
Bevan discusses the briefing hosted by the Saban Center for Middle East Policy to address the creation of the Geneva Accord for Israeli-Palestinian peace. The Geneva Accord was officially unveiled and signed on Dec 1 in Geneva as a result of years of negotiations. According to Abed Rabbo, a founding member of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Geneva Accord will strengthen the roadmap by providing detailed solutions to some of the final status issues such as refugee rights and borders.
Robinson was right about shortcomings of drones Thanks to The News for printing Eugene Robinson's excellent column about drones. While drones may seem like a good idea, we have already seen what a disaster they are, with civilians being some 90 percent of those killed (in Pakistan, per the Brookings Institute). What do we expect from something that works like a video game? Indeed, with the drones being used in "discrete military operations" (without any declaration of war) the endless war against terror could be waged anywhere and at any time.
This has been a bad week in Israeli-American relations - more accurately, Israeli-Obama White House relations. Three White House players who should know better (and probably do), dumped on the only democracy in the Middle East, boldly contradicting the president's boast to Jewish donors that he's the most Israel-supporting president in history. (Where does that leave Harry Truman?) Hillary Rodham Clinton went out of her way to pick a fight with Israel in the name of feminist principle. The secretary of state thought she was speaking "just among us girls" behind closed doors at the left-leaning Brookings Institute, but her remarks nevertheless made headlines in the Israeli newspapers.
Colorado Springs is recovering from the recession in nearly every area except housing. A study by the Brookings Institute places Colorado Srpings' economic indicators near the top half of 100 metro areas nationwide.
