Through his first nine games as a pro, Knowshon Moreno's versatility has surfaced early and often.
No rookie has recorded two 100-yard games from scrimmage — except for Moreno. He's also set himself apart through the air, as the lone NFL newcomer with both a rushing and receiving touchdown this season.
Moreno turned in a career-high 97 rushing yards against Washington on 18 carries. Week by week, the rookie is improving in an area the Broncos stress to their backs — gaining yardage on every play.
"There were some plays where there wasn't much there, but he didn't go negative," Head Coach Josh McDaniels said. "He went, got a yard, got a two-yard gain here or there and kept us in positive situations. That is something that he's doing better and better as the year goes on."
Moreno's 520 rushing yards are the eighth most by an NFL rookie through a team's first nine games in the last five years. He has four more yards than then-Tampa Bay Buccaneer Cadillac Williams did at this point in 2005. Williams was eventually named AP Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Of those 18 carries, four went for 10-plus yards, including a 28-yard scamper on the opening play of the game. Moreno took advantage from sound blocking by Spencer Larsen, who was in at fullback.
Fully healed from a shoulder injury that sidelined him earlier this season, McDaniels exuded full confidence in Larsen being a piece to the backfield puzzle.
"(We have) no hesitation putting him in the game in that role because he can bring some level of physicality as a lead blocker to our backs," McDaniels said. "He did a good job yesterday."
After missing the second half at FedEx Field due to an ankle injury, Kyle Orton is questionable for the Broncos' Week 11 battle with the division-rival Chargers.
"We're not sure exactly how that's going to go," McDaniels said of Orton's status. "We're going to see how he progresses during the course of the next few days."
As for whether Orton will hand over reps to Chris Simms in practice, McDaniels added that it will be evaluated over the team's three days of preparation this week.
"He's definitely not out for the game," he said. "We're certainly hopeful that we can get him ready to go. But if he can't practice, then it will be Chris, for sure."
McDaniels also announced that right tackle Ryan Harris (toe) will not be available to play in Sunday's game at INVESCO Field at Mile High. Tyler Polumbus has started each of the last two games in his place.

Krause, McQuaid Win XTERRA Indian PeaksBy Circ Toepel, XTERRA Rep For those athletes trying to develop more red blood cells, we have a new altitude king! The swim in Peterson Lake starts at 9,400' and as you can imagine it was cold enough (62 degrees) to require a wetsuit. The size of the lake caused race director Paul Karlsson to implement a time trial start in which racers went off at 3 second intervals. Dave Messenheimer was not first into the water, that honor went to last years winner, Ryan Ignatz. Dave was the 1st to negotiate the 1,000 meter swim and the 650 meter dash up to T1 since he was only in the water for 11:56. Second fastest swim went to Eric Snowberg at 12:38 with Todd Gerlach a scant 4 seconds behind. Always fast in the water, local swim phenom, Becky Batizy led the women's swim times by posting a 13:54 followed 1 second later by Maria Noriega from Mexico. Next up was another Boulder local, Lisa Boatright, in at 14:19. The bike course was unique in that it zigged and zagged its way around Eldora's XC ski trails. If you are thinking rolling, forget it. XC trails can be steep. So steep that everyone (even the pros) had to get off their bikes to go up one long hill that topped out at 9,948'! A new XTERRA altitude record. Not all the competitors were cheering this milestone as they were sucking air and going into oxygen debt near the top. The suffering was worth it because the downhill single-track was nothing short of sweeeet. Several racers got so caught up on the fun, fast downhill they missed the blue arrow pointing to the right. OOPS! Greg Krause had the fastest bike split for the men and Melanie McQuaid had the fastest split for the women. The run course was a bit tamer but still on super sweet XC ski trails for 6.3 kilometers. Not a single section of the evil pavement to be found. Erin Kummer had a smokin' fast run split of 26:54 for the women but Melanie handily took first overall at the finish line with a time of 1:57:49. Erin finished in 2:04:04 and Kate Chapman finished in 3rd with a 2:05:38. The men were led to the finish by Greg Krause who ran a 24:26 and finished in 1:35:39. Ryan Ignatz ran a few seconds faster than Greg but finished 2nd overall in 1:39:31. A special thanks to Ryan who took a few moments from his race to alert us regarding a problem on the course. Dave Messenheimer had the fastest run in 23:53 and took 3rd with a 1:42:14 finish time. The post race festivities were kicked off by Qdoba Burritos handed out near the finish line. From there most competitors went straight for the Avery Brewery beer line. An excellent beverage choice after a tough day in the 82 degree, high altitude sun. The awards were very generous gift certificates courtesy of Fleet Feet. Of course lots of XTERRA Gear was given away. Congratulations to Sasha, who won a brand new XTERRA wetsuit by producing the nastiest, holiest wetsuit I have ever seen. It looked as if it had been either attacked by a shark or washed in Muriatic acid. Many thanks to Paul Karlsson, all the volunteers who made this event happen and to the Eldora ski area for allowing us to ride and run on their awesome trails. |

A law enforcement K9 helped apprehend a man who led deputies on a high-speed chase after holding a woman and her five children hostage in Manatee County.
Manatee County Sheriff's deputies reported that the incident started Monday evening at the home of Victor Alarcon's located at the 1200 block of 72nd Avenue Court East in Rubonia. Alarcon, 30, had Marisela Nunez, 27, and her five children to his home for a visit, according to the investigation report.
Alarcon and Nunez were arguing when Alarcon grabbed the woman's car keys and told her and the children to get into the car. Deputies say, he promised to take the woman and her kids home.
According to the MCSO report, Alarcon drove aggressively and scared Nunez and her children. When he got near her home, he saw police officers there and kept driving.
Alarcon didn't let Nunez and her kids out of the car for another half an hour and eventually dropped them off near Manatee Avenue East.
Police caught up with Alarcon in Palmetto who continued the chase that at times reached speeds of up to 80 miles per hour, deputies reported.
Officials say deputies had to use special devices that punctured Alarcon's tires near Erie Road. Alarcon almost ran over MCSO deputies and sideswiped a sheriff's cruiser. When Alarcon finally stopped, he headed into a nearby wooded area. That's when officials say, a law enforcement K9 took chase after Alarcon.
Alarcon tried to fight off the K9 but was almost immediately taken down, deputies said. Alarcon was treated for cuts and scrapes and transported to Manatee County Central Jail.
Authorities charged Alarcon with false imprisonment, car theft, assaults on law enforcement and battery on a law enforcement K9 as well as other charges.

If you commit a crime in Davidson County, there's a good chance you will be drug tested. The county has started aggressively testing people who are on probation, sometimes as often as five times a month.
Defense attorneys worry it means people could get fired from their jobs, not for their small crime, but for leaving work to be drug tested.
Those on probation from general sessions court must call a number each day, and if their number comes up, they must drop everything, drive to downtown Nashville and urinate in a cup.
For some, it is accountability and good public policy while others say it is excessive and even cruel.
In the past, the county drug tested about 10 percent of those convicted in general sessions court, but now that number is up to 60 percent.
"How can you expect a person to leave work with no notice at all, come downtown from wherever they live - because we only test downtown - find parking, give a urine test and get back to work and not be fired? It makes no sense at all," said defense attorney Jim Todd.
But, for Bob Green, director of the probation department for the general sessions court, it makes a lot of sense.
Green says it is simply the right thing to do.
"Drug and alcohol abuse plays a significant role in an offender's life. Research shows anywhere between 40 and 80 percent of all crime is connected to drugs and alcohol," Green said.
The new drug testing is now run by a private company, where it costs $11 to get drug tested. That's actually cheaper than what the county charged, but there is still suspicion when a for-profit company makes money when it tests offenders.
"This particular setup is not a good idea, because it gives an incentive to a company to test," Todd said.
Green says he understands the suspicion but also wants to make it clear that he is in charge of how many times offenders are tested, not the company.
"If someone goes through several months of negative tests, we're going to start testing them a fewer number of times," he said.
This policy has been in place just three weeks, but there is already a key change coming in September, in which offenders will then have 36 hours to get downtown to take the urine test.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Abhishek Great hotel, comfortable stay
I stayed in Sheraton Needham Hotel for ten days and I loved the way I was treated! The rooms are comfortable. The hotel provides great amenities and ambience. The staff were courteous and polite. I would highly recommend Sheraton for business as well as leisure visitors.

Rated 5 out of 5 by annettwork extremely friendly and helpful staff bettered my stay
I needed to visit a friend in Needham and was debating whether to stay in the Boston area and drive to Needham, or whether to just stay in the Needham area.
Turns out I made a great choice by picking Sheraton Needham.
Upon arrival, upgrades and perks for the Platinum program were explained and given, and I had an upgrade to the club floor.
Throughout my stay, the on-site staff were very friendly, helpful, and were always smiling.
Most of the operators on service express were quite helpful, though I did have one patch me to room service and the things I ordered (refill for the club lounge fruits) never arrived.
Complimentary shuttle is offered on weekdays for places within 5 miles, and I forgot that it was a weekend, and when I called Service Express to book a shuttle, I was bluntly told it wasn't offered, in a slightly annoyed tone. She called a taxi for me, but I missed it narrowly - this is where the on-site staff were very very helpful - they went out of the way to drive me to a nearby destination. I was very impressed at their friendliness and flexibility.
The friendliness of most staff highly contrasts with the staff attitude in other Starwood Hotel chains in the Boston area.
There was a indoor heated pool but I was too busy to use it, though I did meet a lady while taking the elevator who had just enjoyed the jacuzzi on the floor.
Perhaps one thing that could be helpful in the future was to have common appliance chargers (e.g. Apple products, though I know it was "inadvertently taken" by a previous hotel guest)
Also, I would suggest there be more variety for the breakfast buffet (seems to have a lack of greens).

Dr. Ackell reported that he had established a Task Force on Student Media composed of five faculty, five students and one person from the community. This task force will be advising the President on the following: To determine the appropriate relationship between student media funded by student activity fees and the university, and appropriate mechanisms for im- plementing this relationship. To examine the feasibility of establishing student media totally independent of the university and to study universities with programs designed according to that model. To consider the establishment of a publications board and define its role and responsibility. 3. Dr. Ackell reminded the members of the Board about the Governmental Employees Reception to be held on January 26. The Governor and Richmond-area members of the General Assembly as well as State officials have been invited to attend. 4. Dr. Ackell reported that we enrolled 1,100 students in 32 classes during the Christmas Intersession. Also, spring enrollment figures look very good and we should meet our projections. Mr. Bruegman presented the Report on Institutional Priorities. He stated that this document would be used as the planning document for the 1982-84 biennial budget request. Therefore, it is important that the Board concur with the general thrust of the document.

He also reported that most of the October, November and December meetings were devoted to the complicated and demanding task for defining and understanding the capital outlay process. Mr. Balfour also reported on the use of historic landmark structures by the University. On motion made and seconded, the Report of the Property Committee was accepted. Dr. Gayle reported that he and Dr. Wilson had met with two students to hear their recommendations concerning students serving on Boards of Visitors.

After having their gallbladders removed, some people develop frequent loose, watery stools that characterize diarrhea. In most cases, the diarrhea lasts no more than a few weeks to a few months. There isn't a specific gallbladder removal diet that you should follow, but there are a few things you might consider.
First, it helps to understand why you're having diarrhea. Diarrhea after gallbladder removal seems to be related the release of bile directly into the intestines. Normally the gallbladder collects and concentrates bile, releasing it when you eat to aid the digestion of fat. When the gallbladder is removed, bile is less concentrated and drains more continuously into the intestines, where it can have a laxative effect.
The amount of fat you eat at one time also plays a role. Smaller amounts of fat are easier to digest, while larger amounts can remain undigested and cause gas, bloating and diarrhea.
Although there isn't a set gallbladder removal diet, the following tips may help minimize problems with diarrhea after you've had your gallbladder out:
You may also try limiting foods that can worsen diarrhea in general, including:
Talk with your doctor if your diarrhea doesn't diminish or becomes more severe, or if you lose weight and become weak. Your doctor may recommend medicines such as loperamide (Imodium A-D), which slows down intestinal movement, or medications that decrease the laxative effect of bile, such as cholestyramine (Locholest, Prevalite).

When the St. Louis Cardinals inked catcher Yadier Molina to a five-year, $75 million extension during spring training, many did a double take. The lucrative extension seemed to be based at least in part on Molina's best season with the bat. In a must-read article on stlcardinals.com, Matthew Leach summarizes the critical view of the Molina extension and provides the Cardinals' defensive-centric defense of the extension:
Molina had his breakout offensive performance in his age-28 season, a more common age for career years than for true increases in [talent] level. It all added up to a school of thought that the Cardinals were paying Molina to be the player he was in 2011, and ignoring the risk that he's not really the hitter that he appeared to be last year.
According to a club official, though, that's not the case. In the team's view, it's still a good deal even if Molina regresses some at the plate. That's how much they love his defense and his presence.
"Trying to really quantify these things that aren't traditionally done in our industry is difficult," general manager John Mozeliak said Thursday. "We did the best we could and ultimately did what we felt was fair for both sides."
The concerns regarding Molina's atypical 2011 season with the bat are understandable as his career-high .814 OPS and .349 wOBA were fed by an significant increase in extra-base hits.
Before clubbing 14 dingers in 2011, Molina had never hit more than 7 home runs in a season. Molina ripped 32 doubles in 2011. Before that, he averaged 17 doubles per season. Given this extra-base hit barrage, it's no surprise that Molina's slugging percentage (SLG) of .462 was 73 points higher than his previous career high in 2008 and 101 points higher than his average SLG from 2004 through 2010. Molina's Isolated Power (ISO) also was significantly higher than one would expect. At 160, his ISO was 54 points higher than his previous career high and 67 points higher than his average ISO from 2004 through 2010.
Even though this 2012 season will predate the start of his five-year contract extension, Molina's April has been the best offensive month of his career. If the Cardinals based their contract with Molina on continued defensive excellence coupled with offensive regression, they must be thrilled at Molina's offensive production during the season's opening month. Not only has Molina continued his 2011 hitting, he has put together the best offensive line on the club, when one considers playing time.
Through play on Saturday, Molina had totaled 80 plate appearances (PAs). In those 80 PAs, Molina has posted a wRC+ of 181, which is fourth on the team behind three players who have managed far fewer PAs: Shane Robinson, 205 wRC+ in 34 PAs; Lance Berkman, 188 in 30; and Jon Jay with 184 in 50. While wRC+ is a good overall stat, to further flesh out how great an offensive force Molina has been through April 28, here is a look at where Molina ranks on the Cardinals in counting and rate offensive statistics.

Obviously, it's still very early in the season. Take batting average, for example, where Molina places sixth on the Cardinals, behind a collection of players with far fewer ABs than Molina has taken. As the season's month nears its end, Molina is tied for second on the team in homers with renowned slugger Matt Holliday and just one behind Carlos Beltran and David Freese. Molina's four homers amount to two-thirds of the home run total of six he averaged from 2004 through 2010. During that same time span, Molina averaged 17 doubles per season. He already has nine in 2012 and is on pace to surpass the career-high doubles total of 32 from last season.
Molina's .296 ISO is very impressive. For comparison, Albert Pujols has a career ISO of .286. While a lot of the commentary on the post-Pujols Cardinals has understandably focused on the first baseman's free agent replacement, Beltran, Molina's power hitting has done a lot to fill the power void.
The ZiPS projection system has taken notice of Molina's torrid start. Before the season, ZiPS foresaw a regression from Molina. It still does, but less so. Based on information freely available at Fangraphs, the following chart compares the preseason ZiPS projection for Molina to the updated ZiPS projection (ZiPS(U)) for the catcher.

In an article from early in the season by Derrick Goold of the Post-Dispatch (that is also a must-read), Cardinals hitting coach Mark McGwire commented on Molina's 2011 and hot start to 2012.
"I think it's just the start of what Yadi is as a hitter. It's just neat as a hitting coach to see this developing and the confidence that has come for him. The future is just unlimited now for him offensively."
Molina is unlikely to maintain his current pace at the plate. The sober projection system ZiPS foresees this and in our hearts we know that Molina will not finish the year with anywhere close to a .296 ISO. He isn't going to have a Pujolsian season but the Cardinals don't need him to. If the new norm for Molina is an OPS of around .800 with an ISO around .150, that is incredibly valuable offensive production from the catcher position. Throw in his platinum defense and you have a cornerstone franchise player worth every penny of his $75 million extension.

Popcorn Hour A300 as unified media host and server. Perfect solution or red-herring?
Hi .. I am thinking about buying the A300 and have found a mixed bag of reactions to the device on the web. Most of the negative commentary relates to using it as a DLNA based media server. If there is anyone out there that can help please respond. I am a tekky, so don't hold back on the details
Thanks in advance
Current set-up:
Win7 Home Premium desktop (always ON) with media streaming ON and only using Windows Media Player.
This allows me to play all media directly to home cinema system as well as stream to Android tablet, Sony bedroom TV, Pure Evoke Flow, smartphone etc.
Desired set-up:
Ditch the PC and replace it with an all-in-one file host, player, and DLNA media server( to use with the same kit listed in current set-up).
Proposal: Use the A300 (hosting all media via internal disk; holiday photo's, videos, music) - i.e. no other home PC acting as a host/server.
1 - Local playback via HDMI (easy)
2 - DLNA streaming of hosted content across LAN (seems to be general confusion on this in web forums) Is it true DLNA or just a uPNP device?
Will my Sony TV, Android tablet (ICS), and Pure Evoke Flow just see it like they do with Win7WMP?
3 – Management of A300 hosted files. Can this be done via my Win laptop, and if so how does the Popcorn like to do it?

Huggins visits families of Upper Big Branch miners
MONTCOAL, W.Va. -- West Virginia University head basketball coach Bob Huggins visited with the families of miners involved in the Upper Big Branch mine disaster Wednesday afternoon. He brought them homemade pasta and Mountaineer T-shirts.
Huggins arrived by helicopter, which landed in a field beside Marsh Fork Elementary School.
Reporters were held back by State Police and did not get a chance to interview Huggins.
Rep. Nick J. Rahall, D-W.Va., greeted Huggins and talked with reporters afterward.
"I'm sure coach Huggins, being the West Virginian that he is, and knowing his love for this state and its people, wanted to come down to show his support," Rahall said.

It's a world away, or at least it seems like it.
Afghanistan conjures images of barren stretches of land where farmers struggle to grow enough food to feed their families, let alone sell for a profit. But it wasn't always this way.
"Grapes were a huge crop in Afghanistan," said Vaughn Hammond, a small fruits and vegetables Extension educator with the University of Nebraska's Kimmel Education and Research Center in Nebraska City, Neb. "At one point, they were famous for their grape production."
Before the Soviet Union's invasion in 1979, Afghanistan was an agricultural heart of the Middle East. But decades of war reduced the nation to poverty and corruption, and much of the knowledge and skills of former generations was lost in the midst.
"So many farmers didn't survive," Hammond said. "Their art of taking care of the land and producing food was not passed down to their children."
While the United States' invasion was meant to exact revenge on the Taliban for the 9/11 attacks, it also serves as an opportunity to free the Afghan people of this legacy through humanitarian efforts, such as the 58-member Nebraska National Guard Agribusiness Development Team (ADT-2), which worked to empower the Afghan people to take back their agricultural roots. Hammond, an University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension educator, spent nine months between 2011 and 2012 on the ground with the team - as a civilian - collaborating with ADT-2 agricultural development projects 11 hours a day, seven days a week, to do just that.
"This is one more step in helping the world meet food and fiber needs of the future," said Elbert Dickey, director of UNL Extension in Lincoln, Neb. "The dream is that Afghanistan will redevelop its agriculture, eventually returning to a food-exporting country."
Afghanistan is situated between several former Soviet Union nations, Pakistan, Iran, and a bit of China. Most of ADT-2's time was spent in Paktya, one of 34 provinces in Afghanistan, located in the eastern portion of the country and whose capital is Gardez.
"It's all farm ground out here, and it's very, very desolate," Hammond said.
About the Region
Paktya is the third-poorest of Afghanistan's provinces, he said. Compounding its war-torn history is a culture of secrecy and suspicion, distrusting and broken tribal relationships, stifling and corrupt government, utter lack of technology, and simply the challenges of living in a rural environment. Paktya's wealth is in water, thanks to the annual snowmelt; however, there is no way to channel it to where it needs to go, Hammond said.
"It's back in the Stone Age," he added. "They're using hand tools. The typical farmer's primary tool is his shovel. There is limited electricity - everyone has a cell phone, go figure, but no refrigerators. There are no freezers, so when they butcher an animal, they do it outside in the back and cut off a slab of meat for you."
The average farmer in Paktya tends one-half to one acre of land, to support a family of seven, producing an annual income of just $700. Because this is not enough for a family to live on, the rest of the family's income must either come from on off-farm job or, more likely, from government assistance. Nothing is stored beyond the first year - any food grown is used first by the family, second for the livestock, third as a seed source for the next year's crop, and finally, anything leftover is sold. There rarely is, Hammond said.
Each plot of land is called a jerib and is surrounded by an 18-inch earth berm that's been in place for sometimes hundreds of years. To irrigate the crop, the farmer digs a channel from a nearby water ditch and waits for the water to flood the jerib, usually two or three days, before blocking the canal again by hand. Some areas have better water flow than others, but there are no water-pumping systems to transport water evenly.
"The way of farming is completely backward here," Hammond said.
To get an idea of how rural Afghanistan changed after 1979, Hammond said the Paktya area used to be covered with trees but the people needed firewood and livestock feed and all that is left is a dusty landscape prone to wind and water erosion.
"There is very little vegetation," he said. "One of the biggest hazards is flooding, which is the direct result of the deforestation of the mountain regions."
Evidence of Afghanistan's agricultural past is everywhere, from jeribs shaped as they were when today's farmers' ancestors first formed them to centuries-old terracing. There is also a nomadic tribe called the Kuchi, who live in tents and move according to available grazing as they have done throughout history. However, because there are no fences in Afghanistan, the Kuchi are often in bitter disputes with local tribes when their sheep and goats graze their crops. Also, the Kuchi severely overgraze the vegetation before moving on, increasing erosion and reducing soil quality. What's left is a high plains desert, Hammond said.
"It's very dry, very rocky," he added. "The nomadic tribes will graze until it's just nubs there. They're very hard on the land."
Yet, at the same time, the Afghan people are attuned to their weather so much that they can predict the forecast, without technology, nearly always without mistake. And they unequivocally prefer organic agricultural techniques, refuting any benefit from pesticides in the name of healthier food.

Hotel News The Halifax Nova Scotian Hotel (formerly Hilton International) has been purchased for $4.5 million by New Castle Hotels, a hotel ownership and management company based in Shelton, CT. The property will be franchised by Westin Hotels & Resorts, and will reopen this summer after extensive renovations of the interior, exterior, and grounds.
The new general manager of the hotel is Peter Semadeni, whose management experience includes a position as general manager of the Delta Barrington Hotel in Halifax.
The Nova Scotian is a landmark 1930s building with 307 guest rooms and 14 suites, as well as 23,000 square feet of banquet and meeting space.
The 232-room Holiday Inn Select Halifax Centre has completed more than $750,000 in renovations, and has increased its services and amenities. The hotel now features guest rooms with free local phone service, computer/fax modem, voice mail, coffeemaker, and iron. There are six meeting rooms, the largest seating 340 persons theater-style, plus a fitness center, executive floor, and 24-hour business center.
Inter-Continental Hotels and Resorts has announced the 300-room Lord Elgin Hotel, in Ottawa, as an addition to its international sales and marketing network. The hotel retains its independent ownership and management, while gaining access to Inter-Continental's reservation system and sales and marketing network. Built in 1941, the Lord Elgin Hotel is a landmark in downtown Ottawa. It completed a top-to-bottom restoration and expansion in 1991 and added 11 meeting rooms, the largest for 150 persons.
The 164-room Nottawasaga Inn, 45 minutes from Toronto in the picturesque rolling hills of the Nottawasaga River Valley, has added a 70,000-square-foot indoor recreation complex that includes a 25-meter pool; squash, racquetball, and tennis courts; an aerobics center; a weight-training facility; a children's center; and an 18-hole, themed mini golf course. This facility compliments the 34 meeting rooms.
The Estates of Sunnybrook, located on the campus of Sunnybrook Health Science Centre in Toronto, has added a new service for meeting planners: an in-house speaker's bureau. In conjunction with Speaker's Spotlight of Toronto, the Estates will offer clients who book events a lineup of professional speakers from which to choose. The Estates consists of two historic mansions, set on 52 acres.
Quebec Center on Schedule The new Quebec Convention Centre in Quebec City is on schedule for its grand opening on August 29. It is being built on Rene-Levesque Boulevard East, in downtown Quebec City, near the older convention center, which will cease operations in early August. The new center is connected via underground passage to two nearby hotels, the Hilton and the Radisson Gouverneurs, which offer 1,000 guest rooms. There are 2,500 guest rooms within five minutes of the center. With some 75,000 square feet of exhibit space and 30 meeting rooms, the new center already has 141 groups booked over the next five years.
GES Expands in Montreal Exposervice Standard Inc., the largest show services contractor in Montreal, has joined the GES Exposition Services family of companies. GES, headquartered in Las Vegas, is a leading general contractor for the tradeshow industry. In addition to Exposervice Standard, other Canadian acquisitions for GES include Panex Show Services Limited and Stampede Display and Convention Service Limited. Panex is Canada's largest general contractor and it operates in Toronto, Calgary, and Edmonton. Stampede operates in Calgary and specializes in smaller shows.
Calgary in Expansive Mode The city council's finance committee has approved in principal an $18 million expansion at the downtown convention center, and a $3.7 million expansion to the Roundup Centre at the Stampede Park, according to the Calgary Sun newspaper. If approved, the expansion would triple the size of the 23,000-square-foot convention center, while the extra 15,000 square feet of meeting space at the Roundup Centre is viewed by Stampede board chairman Bob Dinning as just the first step in a long-term project for the facility. The finance committee has agreed to spend $150,000 for more detailed plans of the expansions and to help fund-raising efforts, according to the Sun.
Meanwhile, there are renovations and expansions under way in Calgary. They include a new "work center" at the Palliser Hotel, two self-contained work stations with telephones, computer and fax hookups, a computer terminal, boardroom access, and a range of office services.
At the same time, the Westin and Delta Bow Valley hotels are offering, for $20 and $15, respectively, a selection of guest rooms that have been especially equipped for business travelers, including items like printers, fax machines, speaker phones, and ergonomically designed desk chairs.
New in the city is the Alberta Children's Museum, which opened in June, and the Western Heritage Centre, which opened July 1.
Opening in 1997 will be the Institute for Modern and Contemporary Art, which will be housed in two renovated historic buildings in downtown Calgary. The museum will feature visual arts exclusively and will accommodate international, local, and regional exhibits.
Calgary's Science Center Theatre reopened in June, touting the "finest multimedia theater in North America," complete with digital star projector, 70mm motion picture projector, and state-of-the-art video projection capabilities.

ETA Strongish, I found that book you mentioned.
This morning the second location I had applied to called to schedule an interview with me in a couple of weeks.
[This message edited by atsenaotie at 2:47 PM, August 18th (Thursday)]
I don't need a flirting book... apparently. Musta been someone else. Not Allgood... she's got people so hot for her that they wanna sext without even knowing her name. Now that's charisma!
WH seemed to get a little come-to-Jesus and is crying and writing nice letters (remember when this and that?) and pledging to do whatever it takes to not lose me. I'm watching to see if there's any action developing behind the storm of words.
Thanks for the birthday wishes.
I had a lovely day.
Miracle whenever it is you are going, I hope its sunny, hot and great! Have a fabbo time!
ATs - where'd you get that pic of my fWH??? Looks just like him!
Meanwhile, in UKland, DS25 has another year in NZland. Waiting on DS26s application
[This message edited by UKgirl at 4:31 PM, August 18th (Thursday)]
Words are very noble, but actions mean something.
Not Allgood... she's got people so hot for her that they wanna sext without even knowing her name. Now that's charisma
Ya.... I'd love to think I had something to do with this, but, alas, I think it had more to do with the people initiating the sexting, lol.
For those of you struggling with reconciliation, I offer the following for thought:
Once you get past all of the emotions of the "should I stay or should I go" part, which is in my opinion pure anguish, should any of you decide in favor of "going", you are going to go through a whole other seemingly bottomless pit of emotions which also blow. At the moment, I am trying to just accept that my x fell out of love with me, or I became so low on his list of priorities that he not only had the A, but made only the slightest of efforts to try to keep the marriage together. So, I am very firm in my acceptance that I could never have been happy in a marriage like this, and I also can see my x's issues a lot more clearly and know that they are HIS issues, not mine, but it still sucks to have feelings of this magnitude for someone go unreturned.
O well. My kids are seemingly well. X is slated to tell his mother & his sisters this weekend. It will be a relief to have that over with. Worried tho about the kids as I will now be absent from so many family functions on his side of the family. I have to give that some thought. G'night all.
Worried tho about the kids as I will now be absent from so many family functions on his side of the family.
Anyways, I am approaching 36 months post dday. I can remember thinking 3 years feeling like this when I first came to SI and poster saying 3-5 years to feel normal. I honestly can say it has taken me that long too. I have not cried in a couple months now. I have tried to think about it an all the things that I did cry about, and just cannot. When I do, it's crocodile tears. The good thing is that for this past year, I have been living my life again. Its been fun.
Please help me, I want to get your thoughts. I am thinking about placing a GPS and VAR in my W's car. My W has a very high IQ and graduated in the top 10 people at Purdue. Her memory is far superior to everyone. When you have that gift, you have the ability to make less mistakes which is one of the reasons she was able to fool and trick me for so long. (The only reason she got caught was she pissed off another woman off at her office and that woman wrote me a letter) I can see myself easily being tricked again, even with some of my strong boundaries. I travel for my job and sleep away 4 10 nights each month. I just figured, do it for a month or so. If all is well, I will make the choice not to do it again.
Travel away is irrelevant. If someone wants an affair, they dont need their partner to be away from home or for them to be away from home. Theyll do it regardless.
Something happened to doubt your wifes sincerity to reconciliation?
I have to go out now, but I'll bbl.
ETA: BTW, intelligence has little to do with the ability to conceal an affair. Its more the ability to lie easily, to act normally, to compartmentalise, to keep the affair as something separate and the need to keep it a secret. My H has a degree from Oxbridge. But when it came to common sense, he was last in line.
[This message edited by UKgirl at 7:57 AM, August 19th (Friday)]
While it is true the A can happen in almost any situation, if the opportunity is limited, the A is not as likely to happen. My W used the fact that I was away a lot and the fact that she was out of town because of her job to carry out much of her A. She would like to earn more money and one way to do this would be for her to go back on the road. I told her to go ahead but she would be doing that as a single woman. I trust her quite a bit more if she is home every night as opposed to her being gone 4-6 nights a week.
To me tricked means fooled. We all do not want to get fooled again.
To be a good liar, a good memory is a huge plus. In order to not get caught it helps if you can keep your story straight. That is why telling the truth is easier to do because your story is easier to remember.
So is this a "gut" feeling? Do the VAR if it will help but be careful. If she catches you it might be a set back.
First, hugs.
How long have you been feeling that you want/need to verify? What triggered that for you?
FWIW, I live the "trust but verify" and see nothing wrong with checking. Isn't that one of the things promoted here? Blind trust... sounds good in theory, but the time for that was long ago.
You're noticing something is hinky... what is that?
If you need a VAR or GPS to settle your soul, do it. Is my humble opinion.
I have to go with the advice to trust your gut if something is not feeling right. I also agree that being out of town makes A activity much easier. FWW participated in A activity when I was in town, but took full advantage anytime I or she were out of town alone. The risk level of being caught was so much lower she could relax, stay late, or spend the night.
A var and gps make sense. I have considered these are the tools I would need to use if there ever were a future concern. FWW knows my ability to monitor cellphone on our account and all of her computer access.
Finally, it is all of the compartmentalizing that makes the LTA possible. The WS can be a different person and lead a different life with the AP and the BS, and the lives seemingly never bleed through (although in retrospect I see occasions where they did). The other compartmentalization is emotional, not being fully open and committed to any one individual. For me, I could not sustain this type of separation indefinitely.
As I understand your story, your W has improved, but not done much internal work to discover what needs the A was meeting, why she had those needs, etc. Others have compared this to a dry drunk, they are no longer drinking, but the issues that initially led to the drinking are still there.
Best wishes for you, it is hard to prove that something is not occurring. If she uncovers your verification tools there may be a setback as Dip said, but it will only be a setback for her, not you. Clearly, you still have some unresolved trust issues, and I no longer believe that 100% trust is ever warranted. With a novice spouse we can rely on simpler techniques, but let's face it; our spouses became skilled at betrayal.
Today may have been the last MC or IC session for us. I told him I was not seeing any progress for us, and was not coming back. In the session today it is clear FWW still has much work to do on her self-image and depression, but she will be recovering from surgery in 2 weeks so no session was scheduled. It was left that he is available if either of us wants to contact him. I was very clear in MC today. I do not hate her, but there is little to no good in the M. While she is depressed and feels unworthy because she has no job and had A, I am moving on. I am working on our financial problems as I can do something in that arena. I cannot fix the M myself. While I would like for us to work together, I will work alone to fix what I can. At some point there simply will not be anything or reason left for us to stay together. MC pushed to make sure she understood what I was saying, and what I wanted. She understood, but said she is too tired to contribute or give any support to me. As she told me many weeks ago, this is who she is.
I am working on my happily ever after, but it does not look like that will include FWW in any role beyond mother of my children. The ball is clearly in her court, and I am headed to the showers.

I think we do all need to get together for bonding/group hugs.
What has brought about the insecurity?
Do you think your wife is setting you up for ridicule or something?
So is this a "gut" feeling?
How long have you been feeling that you want/need to verify?
What triggered that for you?
ats.. as for fixing yourself. This is not up to me nor does it fall on me. All I can control is my own behavior.
My W fell into the "It just happened" A. Her boss showed her much attention while me living my life as a married person of 15 year. After a few years, you just stop doing those desirables I mention all the time.
I could have left my W and not changed. Since I did not leave, I owed it to her to change myself to someone she can be attracted to. Heck, I like myself better these days with all my changes.
My W's language of love is affirmation. I show, say, and do this with conscience. I just don't give her a paycheck to show her affirmation (A dig I know).
My W has made bad choices in life too. So far, her record is killing an unborn child and cheating on her husband, twice. Not too good huh?
I cannot change that past, but only hopes she can realize that the choices she makes hurts others. Just looking at those two things, either you are going to start say NO, I'm not going to do that anymore or not.

I am quietly breathing a sigh of relief. I always admired your incredible determination to R and your total lack of doubt about what was needed.
The one thing I was never able to do was to totally trust. I remember quite some time ago you responded to one of my posts and said something like "You have to choose to trust". I couldn't do that. So I felt inadequate. I thought "We can never truly R if I can't trust 100%". Now I see that we can R (as you have) but that it is OK to "trust but verify".
So ever since dday I have methodically charged the rechargeable batteries every day or two and set up the VAR to run when FWH was home alone. For about 4 months now I have set it to record - and haven't listened to it. I have dozens of sound files on my computer.
For me it provides security. I don't know if he will cheat again but... I never thought he would before. I remember the awful fear and uncertainty I felt after dday. One of the hardest parts was not knowing who, when, for how long, how hot and heavy it was, how meaningful it was. Did he hate me? Was I crazy? Was I stupid? Blind?
Now I have my security. Yes if he wants to cheat he will probably hide it well. But sooner or later he will start to relax and make a mistake. There will be a phone call in the house when I am not home and I will hear it. His behaviour will change. The changes may be very small. But they will be there. Then I will listen to my recordings and I will know.
And then I will leave. Like you I am quite calm and am sure I will not find it hard to leave. I will hate him because he will have shown me clearly that he doesn't love me and has no remorse for the enormous pain he caused. I will however be content - because I now have my ducks lined up and my backup future - my "dream" - ready to implement.
My only regret is that I can no longer use the GPS tracker. He found it in his car and I don't know where it is. I may even buy another one one day - and I will hide it better.
I know some would say that this is an awful way to live. For me it's better than always wondering. Perhaps one day I will stop setting up the Var (I have forgotten a few times).
As for cheating being easy when you are apart - I agree 100%. At the start FWH did most of his cheating weekday mornings when the kids and I were at school because he was "lonely" . He then progressed to nights and weekends when I was away visiting the kids. Then he went to "quickies" on his way home from work at 11pm when he knew I'd be asleep and wouldn't know he came in late. If I was awake he'd make some excuse about staying back to talk to a mate or having to work back because someone was late getting to work.
Yes it is possible to cheat when you have less time apart but harder and I think more difficult to build a "real" relationship.
For the past few months he was swapped all his shifts to work weekdays. This has helped me enormously. This is only possible at present because a colleague has been reassigned for a few months. So one day he will go back to working a mixture of shifts. I am fairly sure I will cope with this OK by then. And I have my VAR!!!
If I were you I'd do it. You WILL feel better!!! It's the not knowing that is so hard.
Love the kangaroo with beer pic.
This morning the second location I had applied to called to schedule an interview with me in a couple of weeks
That's wonderful news.
I told him I was not seeing any progress for us, and was not coming back...........I am working on my happily ever after, but it does not look like that will include FWW in any role beyond mother of my children
Oh ats. I am so sorry. I hear resignation in your posts but I know it must be so hard for you.
Once you get past all of the emotions of the "should I stay or should I go" part, which is in my opinion pure anguish, should any of you decide in favor of "going", you are going to go through a whole other seemingly bottomless pit of emotions which also blow.
Such a wise woman!!!
Your statement above is one of the main reasons I stayed. I am happy to admit I stayed for me. Not him or the kids but me! I knew after dday I could not cope with any more pain. Even now I cannot say whether I love him or not. I needed (and still need) to get my head straight. I need to come to terms with what he did and I need the comfort of my own home, my job, my friends, and even my FWH for affection and sex while I do that.
He has been sensational. Really trying so hard to "make me happy" and "make up for what he did". So maybe I will eventually stay not for my sanity but because I DO want a real relationship with him. We will see.
Honey, I think I have a small inkling of the awful trauma you are feeling. I know I have thought about what it would be like so often. But like infidelity I would never presume to KNOW how you feel. Like so many things in life you don't truly understand how it feels until it happens to you. You have my love and big HUGS always. When it gets tough think of us - your tribe. I know you must be really hurting.
Have to go people. Sorry I haven't been able to respond to everyone.
Thinking of you all.
Love and hugs
I'm not going to say I'm glad to see that you have some lingering doubts, because well, wouldn't it be really nice to be in that kind of relationship again?, but I'm sort of relieved because I felt that the level of your trust was almost forced. Like you just made the decision to do it & there it's done. Which is something I cannot comprehend, at all.
Anyway - hope I didn't offend - I was actually just trying to convey the feeling that it would only be natural to feel this way.
So, what to do.
I say use the gps or var if you like, but damn, don't get caught! Do your homework and buy something that you get a recommendation from someone that it works. The gps I bought sucked and caused me more grief than anything else. You would want to get a gps that you can check and find where she is instantly, this way you can call & verify more easily. VAR - I know nothing about that other than put black tape over the damn red light so she doesn't see it in the dark. BTDT. Lol.
If she finds it, well, I would expect all Hell would break loose. But - I don't know her. What do you think her reaction would be - especially after the vow taking, etc.?
She'll be pissed, for sure, but will it be a dealbreaker for her that you are still checking on her? I guess you have to weigh the pros v. cons just like any other decision.
Laura: I'm sorry that you still feel this way. In my case, I definitely did not see someone trying to make it up to me. I think that would've made a big difference. My x's actions post DDay was just adding insult to injury. Right now it's a bit tough because all the negative crap has been largely removed & so there he is, someone I'm still very much attracted to, someone whose looks I appreciate a lot more now that I've been on online dating, lol, and he's playing with the kids, etc. and I'm shielded from all of the other disappointing, disrespectful or ridiculous behavior. So, it's a bit easier to drift back & think "Hey, why didn't this work", etc. and then I have to remind myself that it didn't work because he didn't care enough. I guess I still need to work a little more on this acceptance stuff.
But thanks for thinking of me and you are right I will be ok.
So, the 1 online dude I met, I've put squarely in the friend category. And, he knows it.
(O - by the way - I met a dude from the internet & survived!)
I told him straight out that I think I'm not ready for dating yet. Which, I'm not. I was really conflicted about going. That took me by surprise. Plus, his sitch at home seems pretty messed up & I don't think he's really ready for it either. (Apparently, his wife told him 1 1/2 years ago she doesn't love him anymore & he should go get a gf. Sounds like she's taken up with somebody else, yet they are all still living together.) Nice guy, but I just have no room for extra drama in my life, lol. So, we're friends. We've stayed in touch on a daily basis since then. Kinda nice to have someone asking me how my day is, etc. I must admit. But, definitely friends, with NO benefits, lol. Ok. Good night all.

- James Holmes insanity case poised to become a "battle of the experts"
Prosecutors in the case against James Holmes, the suspect in the Aurora movie theater massacre, believe that the University of Colorado Police Department opened a file on him prior to the July 20 shootings.
The revelation comes in a newly released ruling by Judge William Sylvester, ordering that prosecutors be allowed access to numerous documents from Holmes' time in a neuroscience program at CU.
In deciding whether to release any police records or police intelligence files that CU had on Holmes, Sylvester wrote, "The People acknowledge that they 'probably have campus police records, but [they] don't know that for sure.' "
Prosecutors have previously alleged that Holmes made a threat to a CU professor. And Holmes' one-time psychiatrist, Dr. Lynne Fenton, testified at a hearing in the case that she approached a CU police officer about a patient around the same time as her last meeting with Holmes.
Sylvester ruled that police records on Holmes should be released to prosecutors except those that detail contacts Holmes had with Fenton, as that information would be protected by doctor-patient confidentiality.
"If the University of Colorado Police Department has a law enforcement investigation file about Defendant, that information is likely relevant," Sylvester ruled.
Sylvester also ordered that prosecutors be given access to certain parts of Holmes' application to CU, his transcript, records detailing his academic performance and reasons for withdrawing from the university. Sylvester denied, however, access to Holmes' class schedule and documents concerning an undescribed voice-mail message and a "database note."
Dan Meyers, a spokesman for CU Denver's school of medicine, which oversees the neuroscience program, said he could not comment on the records because of a gag order in the case.
Holmes began withdrawing from CU in June. The following month, he is accused of opening fire inside a movie theater during the premiere of the new Batman movie. Twelve people were killed and another 58 injured. He faces 166 counts of murder, attempted murder and other charges.
His next court hearing is scheduled for Oct. 25, but his attorneys — who are expected to argue at that hearing that prosecutors should be sanctioned for leaks to the media over a notebook Holmes mailed to Fenton — have asked to postpone it so they can have more time to prepare.

Sometimes numbers and facts are irrefutable — sometimes when you lose you can no longer credibly scream victory in the face of defeat, as Karl Rove tried to do in his now-famous election night meltdown ranting against Fox News' own statisticians. Rove may still be in denial, but Fox News for their part is facing reality and moving on.
Alex Moore at Death and Taxes. Since the November election, two of Fox News' most prominent political commentators — Karl Rove and Dick Morris — "have virtually vanished," says Howard Kurtz at The Daily Beast, "seemingly airbrushed from the airwaves."

He was announced as the sixth head coach in school history on January 21, 2008. The Golden Hurricane has steadily improved under Cussen's direction. In 2012, Tulsa posted a 12-6-4 overall record and a 6-3-2 mark in Conference USA, the second-straight year that the Hurricane posted double-digit wins and had a winning record. Tulsa advanced to the C-USA Championship match, three players were named to the All-C-USA teams, three were selected to the league's all-tournament team and one was named to the all-freshman team. Off the field, the Hurricane placed five players on the C-USA All-Academic team, 22 were tabbed to the C-USA Academic lists and 24 were named to the school's academic lists. In 2011, the Hurricane compiled a 10-8-3 overall record, marking the first time since 2000 that TU posted double-digit wins and had a winning record. Tulsa also advanced to the C-USA Championship for just the second time since joining the league in 2005. TU scored 29 goals, posted 11 shutouts, including five-straight, to set a new school record for both shutouts in a season and consecutive shutouts, and had three players named to the All-Conference USA teams. The Golden Hurricane also had 17 student-athletes names to the Tulsa and C-USA academic lists. TU posted an 8-9-2 overall record and picked up three wins in Conference USA play in the 2010 campaign. The Hurricane scored 31 goals, 18 of which were scored by freshmen, and had a .495 shots-on-goal percentage. Freshman forward Claire Nicholson had a team-best 11 goals, while freshman midfielder Jordan O'Brien posted three goals and one assist. For her efforts, O'Brien was tabbed as the C-USA Freshman of the Year, while both Nicholson and O'Brien were selected to the All-Freshman Team and earned All-C-USA honors. Tulsa was also successful in the classroom, as 18 players were named to the Tulsa and C-USA academic lists. In 2009, the Hurricane concluded the season with a 7-10-2 overall record, including five shutout victories, and a 4-7 mark in C-USA. TU scored 25 goals, four more than its opponents, and had a .490 shots-on-goal percentage. Four players earned all-C-USA accolades, the first for Tulsa since joining the league in 2005. The Hurricane was also successful in the classroom, with three players named to the C-USA All-Academic Team, two players picked to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District team, and 14 student-athletes honored to the Tulsa and C-USA academic lists. In his first year at Tulsa, Cussen took a team that posted a 3-14-2 mark and scored just seven goals in the previous year to an 8-9-3 record and 41 goals in 2008. He nearly tripled the amount of wins and his team scored almost six times as many goals. TU had seven shutouts on the season, and 17 student-athletes scored a goal, including 11 that scored multiple goals. Cussen's team was successful off the field as well, as 14 players earned C-USA academic honors. Cussen was the head women's coach at Oral Roberts University from 1998-2007. He posted an overall record of 110-74-15 in his 10 seasons, while compiling an eight-year conference mark of 35-15-8. During his ORU tenure, Cussen's teams won three regular season Mid-Continent Conference titles (2000, 2002 and 2004) and two Mid-Con Tournament crowns (1999, 2004), while appearing in the Mid-Con Tournament Championship game for six straight seasons (1999-2004). Cussen also led ORU to its first NCAA Tournament appearance in the program's 12-year history in 2004. In his time at ORU, Cussen coached 46 all-conference performers, 22 Mid-Con all-tournament team selections and five Mid-Continent Player of the Year honorees. He had one player earn Mid-Con Newcomer of the Year honors and had two Mid-Con Tournament MVP selections. Cussen also had 64 student-athletes earn academic all-conference accolades during his tenure, while three of his players earned all-Central Region honors. Cussen was named the Mid-Continent Conference Coach of the Year in 2002 after leading his team to the regular season championship, while going undefeated in league action. An Oklahoma native, Cussen played collegiately at Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, Okla. He graduated from SNU in 1994 with a bachelor's degree in business administration. Cussen then served as an assistant women's soccer coach for the SNU Redskins, helping to build a program in its early stages. While there, Cussen helped the team post an overall 51-9-1 record and qualify for the NAIA Regional all three years, including an NAIA Final Four berth in 1995. Cussen spent time playing professionally for the Oklahoma City Slickers and the Tulsa Roughnecks. In 1999, he earned a master's degree in education at ORU. He and his wife, Misti, who is the head women's basketball coach at Oral Roberts University, have two daughters; Cassie Grace and Caia Faith. |
