Pandora BraceletsA man and his grandson spotted a body in the pond at Vanderbilt Park this afternoon. Homicide investigators have not yet determine how the man died or how long he had been in water. Denver police spokesman John White said the body was that of a Hispanic man. There were no signs of trauma or any other obvious signs of trauma. The man was not immediately identified and homicide detectives will work the case at least until the Medical Examiner's Office determines a cause of death, White said. The body was pulled from the pond near Platte River Drive and West Tennessee Avenue, west of Interstate 25, at about 2:50 p.m. Parker's new $21.8 million arts center will open Oct. Pandora Charms

The PACE Center — Parker Arts, Culture and Events Department — will be home to a wide range of local arts groups and international touring productions, but will perhaps most distinguish itself by commissioning new theater works right out of the gate. Unlike the nearby Lone Tree Arts Center, which opens Sept. 9 and will host productions that will first be presented by originating theaters like the Arvada Center and Creede Repertory Theatre, PACE is taking the unusual step of hiring the Aurora Fox to mount theater works just for Parker audiences. First up: "A Christmas Story" and "Annie. Cheap Pandora Charms
" PACE is also commissioning longtime Denver theater producer Rick Seeber's latest in his series of popular music revues. "Country is the Music of Mainstreet" (titled after Parker's main drag), will take a western approach following previous Seeber efforts like "Beehive" and "8-Track: Sounds of the '70s." "We wanted to do something in our first year that is uniquely Parker, while also supporting original work," said executive director Jeannene Bragg. "Parker takes a great deal of pride in its equestrian history, and that history is right in line with country music. Pandora Earrings
" Visiting productions will include the Vienna Boys Choir, which last appeared in Denver in 2008, Ireland's "Celtic Nights: Journey of Hope," and the venerable touring comedy, "Defending the Caveman." Bragg is working closely with the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins and other area presenters to piggyback performances of touring works from around the world that might otherwise skip the Denver metro area entirely. pandora sets
Programming for children will include the Cashore Marionettes, "Gary Krinsky: Toying with Science," "Stunt Dog Experience" — a demonstration of, yes, pet tricks — and "Sign Stage's Stuart Little," which will present the familiar story of the spirited little mouse with a cast of both hearing and deaf actors who speak and perform sign language simultaneously. "We are very much committed to ongoing programming geared toward the special-needs and therapeutic communities," Bragg said. A central part of PACE's mission is to incorporate local talent, themes and interests, Bragg said. Pandora Earrings Silver
To that end, PACE has named four local artistic partners for the inaugural season, each of which will present at least two performances: The Apex Contemporary Dance Theatre, Colorado Wind Ensemble, Parker Chorale and Parker Symphony Orchestra. Separate performances by Baroque Chamber Orchestra of Colorado, Ballet Ariel and Colorado School of Dance are also slated. The PACE Center will be otherwise available to rent for local, regional and national cultural, arts, scientific and educational programming, as well as community, business, classroom and social events.

"Ours will be a multi-facility regional arts center that will offer a wide variety of family-friendly programming that really strikes a balance between supporting and developing local artists as well as presenting national and worldwide talent," Bragg said. Tickets for the first official "presented season" will go on sale in August, Bragg said. PACE will offer a variety of subscription packages, including a "build your own" mix-and-match option. The PACE Center will be anchored by a 500-seat auditorium with an outdoor amphitheater, as well as an art gallery, event room, dance studio, culinary kitchen and several classrooms.
Outside will be Harmony Park, a collection of weatherproof wind and percussion metal instruments for anyone to play. The PACE Center is being constructed through a 25-year municipal loan, with no tax dollars of any kind. Pandora Bangles
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two Senate rebels jumped into Congress' cut-the-deficit competition on Tuesday, proposing to raise the age of Medicare eligibility to 67 and increase monthly premiums for millions of current beneficiaries. "We can't save Medicare as we know it," said Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., who authored the plan with Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma. "We can only save Medicare if we change it," he added in an apparent jab at President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats. Democrats reacted with criticism of the proposal, which Coburn said was designed to rescue the financially imperiled program and help the nation confront a "wall of debt." Republicans betrayed no sign of support either. tiffany cufflinks
If nothing else, the response underscored the difficulty of legislative free-lancing at a time the Obama administration and congressional leaders are struggling to negotiate a compromise that cuts future deficits and clears the way for an increase in the nation's $14.3 trillion debt. Without a debt limit increase by Aug. 2, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has warned, the government could default, risking calamity for the U.S. economy and serious effects worldwide. tiffany and co outlet
Republicans walked out of bipartisan talks last week but nevertheless said negotiations had been fruitful. In the days since, Obama has stepped up his personal involvement in the effort. After meeting separately with the Senate's Republican and Democratic leaders on Monday, he invited the Democratic leadership to a White House meeting on Wednesday. In the earlier talks, led by Vice President Joe Biden, key lawmakers had outlined a series of proposals to cut several hundred billion dollars over the next decade. Other proposed cuts were on the table, including nearly $1 trillion from the assumed end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Officials familiar with the negotiations say Republicans are reluctant to count that money toward any agreement, saying they want more tangible cuts in domestic programs before agreeing to vote for an increased debt limit. tiffany rings
Also in the way of an agreement is a partisan dispute over taxes, which Republicans don't want raised, and Medicare benefits, which Democrats don't want cut. Lieberman and Coburn were not nearly as reluctant, including both in their prescription for Medicare. "Nobody's going to like this plan, we understand that," said Lieberman, who was the Democratic vice presidential candidate in 2000 but is now an independent who regularly picks spots to challenge his former party. tiffany earrings
His statement that Medicare can't be saved in its current form seemed a direct rebuttal to Obama, who said earlier this year that a House Republican proposal would "end Medicare as we know it" — something he vowed would not happen while he was in the White House. Coburn is a conservative Republican. But he challenged his party orthodoxy earlier this year when he said he was willing to include higher revenues as part of any deficit-reduction deal. The plan the two men outlined includes a gradual increase over the next five years in the monthly premium that seniors pay for doctor and other non-hospital services. tiffany bracelet
Aides said it would translate into a monthly increase of $15 to $20 initially. The age of eligibility would rise gradually from 65 to 67. For the first time, better-off seniors would be charged more money for Medicare Part A, which covers hospital care. The same group already pays more for doctor visits as well as for prescription drug coverage and, under the plan, would face even higher monthly premiums. A major source of savings would come from making sure seniors pay out of pocket for at least a portion of their care. tiffany necklace
To accomplish that, Lieberman and Coburn proposed barring insurance companies from selling Medigap policies that offer first-dollar coverage. The plan by Lieberman and Coburn would preserve Medicare as a government program, unlike a House GOP proposal that would require millions of future beneficiaries to purchase coverage from private insurance companies. Additionally, the plan includes a $7,500 limit on out-of-pocket costs for doctor or hospital coverage, a provision designed to protect seniors who face potentially catastrophic costs. According to the most recent report by the Medicare trustees, the giant program's insurance fund is projected to run out of money in 2024, five years earlier than last year's estimate. ___ Associated Press writer Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar contributed to this story. tiffany men's necklace
