	Joseph Ratzinger & Marcello Pera reviewed \| Re-Christianising Europe against Islam & relativism
		Pera warns that there is a war in course against the West which should not be misinterpreted as acts of terrorism by a few fanatics and that Europeans do not understand this because paralysis due to endemic relativism has adversely affected their mentality.
		According to Pera, contextualists, deconstructionists and theological relativists have paralysed Europeans by destroying their belief in absolute values: Ludwig Wittgenstein has reconstrued meaning as use, Jacques Derrida has eliminated extratextual reality, while John Hick is among theologians who have tried to revise traditional Christology fundamentals.
		Pera is especially enthusiastic about exporting Western institutions and values to other countries and cannot understand those who label this “premature, unilateral and violent” or “an act of intellectual arrogance or cultural hegemony through the use of force, arms, politics, economics or propaganda”.

	Rocky Mountain News: Business
		In 1987, PERA was concerned that it was underpaying its top executives, a theory supported by Nobil when he reported that the salaries of some top PERA employees ranked in the bottom third of their peers' salaries at other midsize to large pension plans.
		PERA took a bath in the three-year economic downturn after investing heavily in stocks, failing to plan for the end of the bull market and selling massive amounts of credit for extra years of service so members could boost their retirement payments or retire early.
		PERA is 70 percent funded and needs 10 percent average returns in the market or increased taxpayer contributions to fulfill its obligations to retirees in 30 years.

	Colorado Treasurer Cary Kennedy
		According to the Commission’s report, “PERA employs an outmoded and ineffective governance regime—particularly as it relates to the sixteen-member Board of Trustees.
		The Commission recommends a thorough change to the PERA Board of Trustees, including replacing the current sixteen-member board—all of whom are beneficiaries of the plan—with a smaller board that balances the interests of plan participants, employers and the state taxpayers.
		Included in the Commission’s recommendations are proposals to strengthen legislative oversight over the pension system and to roll back some of the benefit changes enacted during the boom time of the 1990s.
