STOCK SWINGS
Hear that? It’s the sound of silence from the stock market.
Last week was uncharacteristically calm for the Standard
& Poor’s 500 index. Its biggest swing was a relatively
listless 0.3 percent tick higher on Monday, and it had
three days where it barely budged and moved less than
0.1 percent. The quiet week was a sharp turnaround from
the index’s pace early this year. There have already been
15 days in less than
six months in which
the S&P 500 has
jumped at least 1
percent. That
compares with a
total of 19 for all of
last year and 21 for
the year before,
according to S&P
Capital IQ.
DOWN GO DIVIDENDS
Dividend payments are on the
downswing, but things aren’t as bad
as the numbers may indicate.
Companies around the world paid
$14.6 billion less in dividends last
quarter than a year earlier, a drop of 6
percent. It’s the sharpest percentage
decline in five years, according to
Henderson Global Investors, but much
of it is due to one-off factors. Last
year, Vodafone paid a whopping
special dividend of $26 billion, for
example. It used cash from selling its
stake in Verizon Wireless, and there’s
no way it could have repeated that. A
stronger dollar also dragged down the
value for U.S. investors of dividends
paid overseas in other currencies.

BANKING ON A MOVE
How do you make bank executives
happy? Make it easy for them to
beat analysts’ earnings estimates.
So what do analysts do if they’re
covering a bank where they’d like to
work? Pretty much what you think.
Early in the year, analysts tend to
have more optimistic earnings
expectations for banks that are
potential employers, only to become
more pessimistic as the year
progresses, according to research
from the University of Exeter and
Harvard Business School. That
gives the banks an easier hurdle to
jump, and the pattern doesn’t occur
for a company that’s not likely to be
a future employer of the analyst.

DISCOVERIES
PHOTO COURTESY UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER
Professor Hang Hubert Yin and post-doctoral research assistant Rosaura Padilla-Salinas use the glass door of a fume hood in Yin’s University of Colorado Boulder laboratory
as a white board to review a chemical equation. Yin’s team is working on a treatment for symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
CU team takes on challenge of Parkinson’s
BY DALLAS HELTZELL
dheltzell@bizwestmedia.com
BOULDER — Police officers fight
crime and protect us from harm – but
occasionally, as recent news headlines can attest, a cop overreacts and
inflames a problem instead of solving
it.
The same thing happens in the
human body.
Specialized immune cells called
microglia, essentially police officers
for the brain and nervous system,
patrol their environment, protecting
the neurons that send messages back
and forth between your senses and
your brain, but also looking for anything that seems out of place such as
inflammation. Occasionally, though,
those little cops overreact, causing
damage by introducing inflammation
in areas where it should be controlled
instead.
That’s one way Parkinson’s disease
wreaks havoc.
More than 1 million people in the
United States suffer the progressively worsening tremors, stiffness and
impaired coordination of Parkinson’s.
The degenerative disorder remains
incurable, but a team led by the University of Colorado Boulder may have
found a compound that can protect
the brain and central nervous system
from damage from the disease.
“This is exciting for us,” said Hang
Hubert Yin, an associate professor
of chemistry and biochemistry at
CU’s BioFrontiers Institute. “We are
suggesting an entirely new strategy
for treating Parkinson’s disease – one
that we think will be more effective,
and one with a potential drug that
patients may access in the future.”
Yin’s team is focusing on patternrecognition cell receptors on the surface of the microglia that have evolved
to identify danger to the cells and
trigger an immune response. They’re
called “toll-like receptors,” and the
body has at least 10 of them.
Yin said the drug, CU-CPT22,
acts on two of the receptors to keep
inflammation at bay and magnify
the body’s immune responses, which
could be a new strategy for treating
not only Parkinson’s but also other
We are suggesting an
entirely new strategy for
treating Parkinson’s disease
– one that we think will be
more effective, and one
with a potential drug that
patients may access in the
future.

conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,
known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
The barrier between the brain and
bloodstream, good at keeping out
anything bad, also keeps out many
drugs that might be helpful. To date,
drug candidates have been unable to
penetrate the barrier because of their
large molecular size.
Enter Yin’s research at CU.
“Our drug molecule is small
enough to penetrate the membrane
that protects the central nervous
system,” Yin said. Using the HighThroughput Screening facility at BioFrontiers, he said, “we screened thousands of synthetic compounds to find
the low enough molecular weight.”
It’s been the mission of Yin and
his team, he said, to take the drug
“from bench to bedside to technology
transfer.”
The drug has been tested on rats
and mice, Yin said. “We’re in the very
early stage of development. The Technology Transfer Office at CU helps us
advocate.”
Brynmor Rees, senior licensing
manager at the tech-transfer office,
said CU holds the intellectual
property rights to the drug, which
recently was licensed to life-science
and biotechnology companies EMD
Millipore, based in Billenca, Mass.,
and Bristol, United Kingdom-based

from 1A
parts of Boulder. Comcast, which
already offers multi-gigabit speeds
for businesses across most of its Colorado footprint, seemed to one-up
CenturyLink a few days later with its
announcement that this summer it
will begin offering 2-gigabit fiber-tothe-home service to nearly 1 million
residences in the state. Comcast that
day also made a new 250-megabit
residential tier of service available to
much of the state for $150 per month.
Comcast officials said they’ve been
building out their fiber optic network
over the past several years to the point
that the infrastructure now is in place
for a broad rollout of residential gigabit service.
“Our Internet service and our platform is really built for tomorrow’s
technologies,” Comcast vice president
of public relations Cindy Parsons said.
“Access to this gigabit pro service
obviously is an opportunity for us to
ensure our customers have access to
the most advanced services.”
Cities looking at providing their
own service still are waiting to learn
some details about the state’s two
major broadband providers’ new
offerings.
CenturyLink’s approach to rolling
out new speeds has been largely on a
neighborhood-by-neighborhood basis.
While many parts of Denver and all
new construction along the Front
Range have access to the company’s
residential gigabit Internet speeds,
company officials have yet to commit
to a timeline for adding such service
elsewhere in existing neighborhoods
– other than stating that it will do so
when demand and return on investment make sense.
Comcast, meanwhile, has taken a
different approach to adding speed
by rolling out the advances to large
swaths of its footprint all at the same
time. Locally, the 2-gigabit rollout
will happen almost throughout.
While the 250-megabit service isn’t
immediately available in Fort Collins,
Windsor or Greeley, Parsons said it
will be coming to those cities soon.
Comcast hasn’t set a specific month
for its 2-gigabit launch yet, though.
Pricing for that service is still under
wraps as well, and Parsons said there
could be promotional pricing early on.
But given the 250-megabit pricing,
the 2-gigabit price figures to be well
above the $50 per month at which
Longmont offers its gigabit service to
charter members.
The added speed is great, said Don
Ingle, director of information technology for the city of Boulder, but he,
too, is waiting to learn more about the
two companies’ new offerings.
“Can they do it cost-competitively? ” Ingle said. “The affordability
becomes a real question, so we’re anxious to hear more about that.”
Boulder was among cities in the
state that last fall received voter
approval to free themselves from the
confines of a state law put in place in
2005 that prevents Colorado municipalities from providing telecommunications services. Those cities still have
plenty to work out before actually
providing such service if they decide
to do so. Boulder, for instance, probably will publish a request for proposals soon for a feasibility study that
would look at various business models
and the logistics involved with each.
Ingle said Boulder’s city council has
so far been “pretty adamant” about
wanting to do some sort of publicprivate partnership rather than going
it alone as Longmont has done.
For t C ol l i n s ha s budgeted
$300,000 to explore the pros and
cons of creating a municipal broadband utility, although Atteberry said
more exploration would take place
even if voters this fall decide to grant
the city the right to provide broadband services.
In Loveland, meanwhile, the city
council at a May 12 study session gave
guidance to its staff to draft an ordinance that also would override the
state law. Steve Adams, director of
water and power for the city of Loveland, said a first reading of such an
ordinance probably would go before
the council sometime this summer,
with final approval needed by midAugust before such a measure could
be placed on the November ballot.
Adams said Loveland is in the
early stages of exploring municipal
broadband and is looking at as many
as six possible models. But he doesn’t
believe the announcements from
Comcast and CenturyLink will alter
those plans for now.
“I think at this point we have our
direction (from council), and that’s
what we’re going to pursue,” Adams
said. “We’re going to take it one step
at a time.”
While Comcast and CenturyLink are reluctant to say so, area city
officials believe the increased interest in adding municipal broadband
throughout the state has helped accelerate increased speed offerings from
the incumbent providers in Colorado.
When Fort Collins officials met with
officials from Comcast and CenturyLink a year ago, Atteberry said there
was no indication then that the companies would be making such moves.
Penny Larson, CenturyLink’s vice
president for operations in Colorado,
said her company is focusing squarely
on customer demand and needs as
it rolls out new services, rather than
getting caught up in speed wars. CenturyLink’s gigabit service is available
to 92,000 businesses in Colorado, and
a large focus for the company in the
near term is catering to those small
and medium-sized businesses.
Seeing Comcast and CenturyLink
ratchet up their services in Colorado
comes as no surprise to Longmont
officials. The city began building out
fiber-to-the-home service to residences and businesses citywide last year.
Earlier this year it announced that
it was accelerating its timeline for
doing so, now aiming to have the network complete several months sooner
than the original early 2017 goal.
Among the first wave of residents to
be offered Longmont’s gigabit service,
city officials say they’ve seen a 45 percent take rate.
“I knew darn well they weren’t
going to stand still and let us eat into
their market share,” Tom Roiniotis,
general manager of Longmont Power
and Communications, said of CenturyLink’s and Comcast’s announcements.
But Roiniotis said he isn’t worried
about the viability of NextLight in
the face of the increased competition.
For one thing, he believes there’s still
no competition for the price at which
the city is offering its gigabit speed.
In fact, he added, he’s happy to see
the incumbent providers in Colorado
responding positively to the threat of
competition from municipalities by
increasing their own services rather
than suing municipalities, as has happened elsewhere in the country.
“The consumer wins,” Roiniotis
said. “So my reaction is I think it’s
great. I think it’s going to be good for
Colorado and ultimately good for the
nation.”
