First-and-Orange Broncos Blog
The Denver Post's NFL reporters post analysis, notes and minutiae on this blog devoted to the Denver Broncos.
Knowshon Moreno lost his starting job because of an injury.
And now, because of an injury — this time to someone else — he's going to get a chance to earn it back.
With Willis McGahee recovering from surgery to repair a broken bone in his right hand, Moreno on Sunday against Detroit expects to have the chance to prove himself as the Broncos' starting tailback, the job he held throughout the preseason before straining his hamstring during the season opener.
Moreno carried the ball eight times in that first game. In the five weeks since, including two games in which he did not play, he has had only nine more carries — including seven last week at Miami, five of which came after McGahee left the game — as he has seen his role go from starter to third-down back.
"I'll do whatever the coaches want me to do, wherever they put me, and that's what I have to do and do it to the best of my ability," Moreno said Wednesday.
Still, it is hardly how Moreno envisioned his third NFL season unfolding after his first two years were derailed by early injuries. Moreno stayed healthy all through the preseason for the first time in his professional career, and appeared to be playing with an extra burst, as a lighter, fitter athlete with the added confidence of an NFL veteran.
"My confidence is always up, but at the same time, I am getting back out there and running with the team a little more and things are not bothering me," Moreno said.
Coach John Fox said Wednesday he won't rule McGahee out of Sunday's game until he sees if McGahee can practice with his right hand in a cast.
McGahee did not practice Wednesday.
"We will just see how it feels (Thursday), and we'll take it from there," Fox said. "I've seen guys play — offense, defense — with casts. A lot of it will depend on how fast he recuperates."
The expectation remains the Broncos will face the Lions with a running back committee featuring Moreno and Lance Ball, who has 15 carries for 54 yards in spot duty, as well as quarterback Tim Tebow, who has 15 rushes for 102 yards.
"I'm sure they're not going to run out of people to give the ball to," Detroit coach Jim Schwartz said.
Ball has played as the third-down back behind McGahee at times this season, and also was the running back Denver coaches chose to have in the game during overtime against Miami.
"I think I've done a good job, just with coming in and helping the team win," Ball said.
Twelve of Ball's 15 carries have come in the Broncos' two victories, with only three rushes spread out in the four losses.
As he laced up his sneakers and headed into the weight room Wednesday afternoon, Ball said he is looking forward to more work.
"It's a great opportunity for me and Knowshon to get our hands on the ball more and be a factor in this offense," Ball said. "It really isn't too different, just another guy steps up and gets an opportunity in this offense."

Backfield by committee
With starter Willis McGahee expected to miss Sunday's game against Detroit because of a broken hand, the Broncos' running game will rely on Know- shon Moreno and Lance Ball to share the carries. The two have had nearly equal results through six games.
Knowshon Moreno
Four games, one start
Rushing: 17 carries, 54 yards, 3.2 yards per carry. Receiving: Eight catches, 92 yards, one touchdown. Best play: Caught a screen pass from Tim Tebow and ran 28 yards for a touchdown against San Diego to set up a game-tying two-point conversion attempt.
Lance Ball
Six games, no starts
Rushing: 15 carries, 54 yards, 3.6 yards per carry. Receiving: Five catches, 26 yards, one touchdown. Best play: His 9-yard touchdown catch from Kyle Orton brought the Broncos to within three points late in the opener against Oakland.

A rally against voter supression at Centennial Park in Tampa Bay, Florida, on August 28, 2012. Photo by George Zornick
On the first full day of the Republican National Convention in Tampa Bay, Republicans were not running from their record of voter suppression. At a fundraiser Tuesday afternoon not far from the Tampa Bay Times Forum, GOP superstars lined up to pay their respects to one of the key architects of recent voter-suppression tactics—Cleta Mitchell, a Tampa Bay–based attorney who is head of the Republican National Lawyers Association.
Earlier this year, before the House Judiciary Committee, Mitchell proudly testified that the "burdens" of voter identification laws—that is, some people not being able to vote—were justifiable to prevent non-existent fraud. "Because the purpose of a voter identification, a photo identification, is to ensure and protect the integrity of the election, whatever burden may exist is offset by the need to protect the integrity of the elections," she testified. And Mitchell is not a newcomer to the voter-suppression game—back in 2008, she was running "training sessions" for GOP poll-watchers so they could fight back against a supposed "long pattern of abuses in registration by groups such as ACORN and their Democratic allies."
The guest list to her party included six Republican senators, including powerhouses Jim DeMint and Marco Rubio, as well as former presidential candidate Rick Santorum, who would address the convention hours later. (I staked out the entrance to the party and didn't see the A-listers enter, though they appeared to be coming in through a secure parking garage. I did, however, spot conservative columnist George Will and Grover Norquist coming in).
Later that night, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley got one of the biggest applause lines of the convention so far when she boasted about her voter-suppression achievements back home. "We said in South Carolina that if you have to show a picture ID to buy Sudafed and you have to show a picture ID to set foot on an airplane, then you should have to show a picture ID to protect one of the most valuable, most central, most sacred rights we are blessed with in America—the right to vote," she said.
But Haley's timing was awful—the ground beneath voter-suppression efforts is falling away, in her state and elsewhere. On the same day Haley spoke, a trial was underway in South Carolina in which the state is suing Obama's Department of Justice for blocking the voter identification law. And it isn't going so well for the state. (Ari Berman has excellent coverage here).

Lower voting age, raise turnout?
Published at 10:49, Thursday, 01 November 2012
Politicians are regularly whining about the continuing rise in voter apathy.
Year after year, fewer of us vote. This could be because the quality of the candidates don't enthuse us, that we don't think our MP will make any difference to where we live or improve our lives, or that we think they're all corrupt and in the job for themselves.
I wouldn't really agree with any of that.
There are many hard-working MPs who do a lot for their constituencies and who do make a difference for the people they represent.
They may not be as vocal, media savvy and headline grabbing as some, but I'd rather have a quietly effective MP than one who regul-arly makes the front pages but doesn't actually achieve very much.
Carlisle MP John Stevenson is trying to whip up support for the idea of Britain pulling out of Europe.
He wants people to sign his online petition calling on the Govern-ment to hold a referendum on withdrawal.
At a time of recession, soaring food and fuel bills and less work, I think most of us have bigger and more immediate issues to bother with.
If he wants to stir up some interest in politics, he could ask people to call for a change in the voting age.
More worrying than whether we should be in Europe or not is the idea that voting, like listening to vinyl, smoking pipes and finding Countdown entertaining, is something that old people do.
Young people just aren't bothered.
But maybe, if we followed the lead of the Scottish devolution vote and allowed 16 and 17-year-olds the vote, it would inject some life and interest into our elections.
Perhaps it would encourage our political parties to inject some colour and enthusiasm into their campaigns.
They would certainly pay more attention to policies such as ever-changing exam systems, tuition fees, the minimum wage, apprenticeships and unpaid work experience
We might get more MPs with genuine ideals, rather than party loyalists.
There's an argument that 16 and 17-year-olds deserve to vote more than those who are 80+.
After all, the elderly may not be around long enough to see the full effects of how they voted, while teenagers will have to live with the results for decades.
Knowing that they will have to live with the consequences of their votes might also make our teens more responsible and socially aware.

Michael Vick told reporters he felt butterflies when Eagles coach Chip Kelly summoned his quarterbacks to Kelly's office Tuesday at NovaCare; Vick said you always get butterflies when the coach wants to see you in his office.
But Vick had to have some idea he was about to get good news. Kelly validated what most observers felt was obvious after two preseason games -- that Vick was winning the QB competition with Nick Foles. Kelly announced just before Tuesday's practice that Vick will start the Sept. 9 season opener against the Redskins, and will be the starter for the season.
"I told him, 'Thank you, I appreciate it, and I won't let you down,' " Vick said after practice.
"I thank coach Kelly for the process we all had to go through," said Vick, who told reporters he was wrong in early June, when he said he didn't like splitting practice reps with Foles, and that he hoped Kelly would name a starter before training camp. "It's gratifying to me that I had to earn it, that nothing was given to me."

I can definitely relate with this writer's experience....I used to wonder how people could check their phones endlessly, and now, I actively remind myself that I really don't need to be on my phone at certain times. And it's quite refreshing when I'm able to simply focus on experiencing what is happening before me.

Hello there!
I'm from Germany so please excuse me if my english isn't very well. I currently work on something for my university. I'm gonna right down the process of converting an HD .mkv file to an iTunes friendly .m4v. The goal will be to have a file at the end which can be played on most Apple devices. So when there's one 5.1 audio track as a DTS or AC3 file in the mkv I want to have one 5.1 AAC audio track and one in stereo for the mobile devices. In the last two days I've been looking around for the best options and encoders in this forum and in the wiki, but I'm not quite sure what to use and what's even more important: why I should use that?
For this process I'll use a mac. I've read that the Nero Encoder give the best results but since it doesn't excepts .dts or .ac3 files I don't know what I could do. Should I convert the .dts file f.e. first into another format so that NeroAAC would recognize it? Wouldn't that mean a loose of Quality? That's by the way also a very important thing for my work. To know what would be the best options in the encoder and to know how big the quality loss could be etc.
I hope you can point me into some directions and tell me something relevant for my topic. Have a good night everyone!

OK thanks for that. What I'm not getting is how can 384 kbps in VBR be as good as 1500 kbps in CBR? I don't really know what to use right now because I didn't really understand what's behind this codec and the idea of a VBR. My aac file out of a 1510 kbps DTS track goes from about 1043-1215 kbps with the options -q 1.00...

Family and friends of Santosh Vicchivora, who was allegedly murdered by a group of boys when he confronted them about lewd comments directed at his female friend, held a condolence meeting and a candlelight march in his memory in Dombivali on Sunday evening. Thousands of residents gathered in a show of support for the 20-year-old, who spoke out against the eve-teasing menace.
The meeting was held in a hall at the Navneet Nagar society, with nearly 1,500 people in attendance. After a sombre expression of sympathy, the mourners marched on the streets. Candles were lit and passed around silently and the procession began from Navneet Nagar around 6.30 pm.
As the procession passed on to Desalepada, residents of buildings along the way joined in. They, too, were given lit candles and the crowd swelled to nearly 2,500 by the time it reached the Lodha Circle, from where it turned back to Navneet Nagar.
The Vicchivoras silently walked ahead, mutely accepting expressions of condolence and sympathy from the people. "It was heartening to see the turnout. It made us feel as if we were not alone," said Santosh's cousin Darshan Vicchivora.
The Vicchivoras thanked the people for coming, and waited at the gates of the complex with joined hands as the mourners slowly dispersed.
Also present was Kantilal Gada, who was injured while trying to save Santosh. He is the prime eyewitness in the case.
Residents of Navneet Nagar have submitted a written request to the police, demanding either a chowky or regular patrolling in the area. Till that happens, residents have taken to patrolling the area themselves.
"We are not interested in confrontation with the authorities. I believe that we are well within our rights in demanding a chowky or considerable police presence in the area," Gada said.

New London — Police confirmed on Tuesday that Officer David McElroy, who the union claims is the target of an internal investigation regarding a leak about a reported rape this summer, was placed on administrative leave last month.
Police administration officials declined to comment any further on the issue but in a written statement, the union blasted Police Chief Margaret Ackley and Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio for what they claim is an attack on the local union leadership by offering a deal to McElroy that would force local union President Officer Todd Lynch to resign from the department.
Lynch, a vocal critic of the administration who has a pending lawsuit against Ackley and the city, is not alleged to have had any involvement in the leaked information, according to Eric Brown, an attorney for AFSCME, Council 15, Connecticut Council of Police Unions. Despite that, Brown said Ackley, through the town attorney, offered to issue McElroy, the vice president of the local union, a written reprimand in exchange for Lynch's resignation.
"I have never heard of such an outrageous proposal," Brown said. "The two things are unrelated. It paints the picture that this has been about Lynch all along."
Lynch has no plans to leave, and McElroy plans to defend himself against the accusations, Brown said.
He also said that Ackley, through the town attorney, "intimated that if Lynch did not take the deal, life would become even more difficult for him and union leaders," according to a statement from the union.
When Lynch learned of the offer, he said he was disgusted but not shocked.
"I've been targeted for several years now, and this situation is going to be dealt with by my attorneys," Lynch said. "I continue to dust myself off, put my dog in my car and come to work every day and serve the citizens of the City of New London to the best of my ability. I'm not going to be bullied, blackmailed or coerced to do anything."
Brown reiterated his call for Ackley's resignation, saying morale is at an all-time low at the department and officers continue to leave in droves.
The internal investigation surrounding the leaked information is related to a report of an alleged rape in the downtown area in July. Initially criticized about the lack of information released to the public, the police department later said the incident did not happen as originally reported, and the investigation was halted. Brown said there are still members of the police department who question the accuracy of the information released to the public.
New London Deputy Police Chief Peter Reichard said he was not able to comment on an open investigation or a personnel matter. He did say McElroy has a pre-disciplinary meeting scheduled for Nov. 25.
Zak Leavy, executive assistant to the mayor, said the city would not comment on internal investigations or information pertaining to collective bargaining.
The union's revelations come at a time of increased friction between city administration and the union, who are in the midst of contract negotiations.
Last week, the police department posted a statement on its Facebook page claiming there were false statements and half-truths on the union's website. A notice on the union website claimed administration was trying to sabotage this weekend's annual food drive by not allowing volunteers to use the department's van.
Police administration did approve the request for use of the marked van for the food drive with the caveat that the driver be in uniform, according to Reichard. He said the uniform requirement was due to a liability issue. The department's Facebook posting said the van driver should be prepared to represent the city professionally and to respond to an emergency, threat or request for service should it arise.
The union has about 50 grievances pending, Brown said in a recent interview, almost two dozen of which are pending for arbitration. He said the grievances, which contain things like claims of unbalanced discipline or disputes over changes to training protocols, and the fact they have not been resolved, is an example of department dysfunction.
The Day filed a Freedom of Information request on Oct. 10 for access to the grievances on file. The city has not yet produced the documents.

Donner Pass
I designed this cowl a couple of years ago and it has since become my go-to cowl for cold winter weather. It was designed out of necessity, as at that time I was serving as an AmeriCorps volunteer, leading outdoor science programs for Northern Nevada kids. I was leading overnight snowshoe trips out of a lodge at the top of Donner Pass near where the famed Donner Party attempted their late-fall trek through the Sierra Nevada mountains. This simple spiral-ribbed cowl helped to keep me warm on those long days out in the cold. Even my best friend, who is a self-proclaimed long scarf devotee, covets this cowl and has been known to try and take it home with her when she visits. I hope you all enjoy this fun and simple pattern!

30 Days of the 2014 Jaguar F-TypeEnlarge Photo
Jaguar's new F-Type presents buyers with an interesting proposition. Due to a variety of engine options ranging from naturally aspirated V-6s to supercharged V-8s, Jaguar has been able to stagger pricing of its F-Type so that it competes against a much wider variety of models than it could have had it come with only one powerplant.
At the F-Type's entry point, you're looking at a starting price of $69,000 and 340 horsepower from a supercharged 3.0-liter V-6.
At this price and performance level, the F-Type could be considered as an alternative to sporty and somewhat stylish convertibles such as the Porsche Boxster S, Mercedes-Benz SLK350 and perhaps even Jaguar's own XK Convertible.
Excluding the XK, the aforementioned rivals are slightly cheaper than the F-Type, though load up on some options and you could easily reach the F-Type's $69,000 starting price.
The BMW Z4 is closer in size and mission, but doesn't have the heritage of the Jaguar roadster--and both it and the Mercedes-Benz SLK350 have retractable hardtop roofs, as opposed to the soft-top roofs of the F-Type, XK Convertible and Porsche Boxster S.
All told, the 315-horsepower Boxster S may end up being the F-Type's closest competitor; it's mid-engined, but has a folding fabric roof, seats two, and can be--loosely--linked to Porsche's original 550 Spyder.
Opt for the 380-horsepower F-Type S at $81,000, and the XK Convertible suddenly becomes a direct rival, as do a number of other cars including entry-level versions of the Porsche 911. Like the F-Type, which draws its heritage from the legendary E-Type before it, the latest 911 has a long list of predecessors to draw inspiration from.

Rating: 3.0/5 (272 votes cast)
Bahais In My Backyard is a documentary film that lifts the curtain on a seemingly "feel good" religion and its involvement in world politics and the military.
Bahais In My Backyard offers a rare glimpse into the dealings of the Bahai religion, which plays a prominent role in the current history of Haifa.
World peace is the objective of the Bahai faith - a mysterious and widespread religion. This is an investigative road movie about two overachieving directors, a prophet's great-granddaughter, and a CIA agent. A detective-like quest after the Bahai religion, which originated in Iran some 150 years ago, and ended up building its world centre on Mount Carmel in Haifa, Israel.
They meet some elderly and sweet Bahais who knew both Kelly and the American CIA agent, but who are uncomfortable giving out 'classified' information.
Asaf grew up next to the beautiful Bahai gardens, staring out of his bedroom window when the Bahais excavated the entire Mount Carmel and built a secret underground city. He shared his thoughts and fears with Naama. They join forces to try and find out what lies beneath the Bahai Gardens - and document it cinematically. The directors' mission begins in their backyard, using their un-polished detective skills to garner as much information about the underground city as possible. They make numerous trips to the Bahai gardens as "tourists", trying to find loop holes which will gain them access them to the floors below. They meet people who have worked for the Bahai under ground, and who are willing to anonymously reveal what lies beneath.

Katherine Scarrow The Globe and Mail Published Tuesday, Jun. 12, 2012 6:53AM EDT Last updated Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2012 11:39AM EST Goodbye cupcakes; so long pies and macaroons.

New Technologies and the Ergonomic Risk to Users: Are New Technologies Part of a Technology Nirvana or Newly Identified Ergonomics Risk Factors?
Roth, Cynthia, Occupational Hazards
We have entered the modern world of new communication devices, microtechnologies and nanotechnologies. A new challenge has arisen out of these technologies: the ergonomic challenge to the technology users.
Companies are investing in the new technology and communication infrastructures for better productivity and quality. These technologies allow for the sharing of information from one facility or employee to another with clear and concise communication that reduce errors.
Development of a corporate culture and shared values can facilitate the adoption of such technologies and communication and investment in advanced technologies may produce the anticipated results. However, employees might become overloaded and intimidated by the need to be in constant contact with others, causing unnecessary stress.
The Spread of Technology
Lost anywhere in the United States with nothing but a camera phone? You now are able to snap a picture of a nearby building or monument, send the photo to a database and soon receive a map and information about where you are. Increasingly sophisticated mobile phones are becoming popular devices to use for search for directions and other information. Easier still is the global positioning system (GPS), portable devices or software that can be installed in PDAs and phones or into vehicles. The problem with GPS is that you unknowingly can be tracked. Some companies track the movements of their employees for efficiency purposes or just plain "spying." This could cause increased stress for employees.
PDA-like cell phones used by many professionals offer a host of functions: e-mail, text messaging and Web browsing, among them. They were purchased by 16 million people worldwide in 2004; 4 million more than traditional PDAs. More than 2.2 million people have bought a BlackBerry since they came on the market, helping it to corner the top end of the wireless communications market. There were 200 million total phones sold globally in 2006.
The proliferation of broadband has more users moving more data across more networks. All that motion has made users come to expect the ability to connect from anywhere at any time in any country.
The Risks of Technology
The physical cost of such technology can be high, however. More and more cases of "BlackBerry thumbs," repetitive motion injuries and awkward posture risk factors are found in our fast-paced, multitasking society.
John Napier said, "The hand without a thumb is at worst nothing but an animated spatula and at best a pair of forceps whose points don't meet properly." The prime importance of the thumb is well-shown in compensation schemes for its injury. In AD 616, King Aethelbert in England established the equivalent of a 30 percent compensation for loss of a thumb but only 10 percent for loss of a finger. Things are not greatly changed today, although total loss of a thumb now rates as a 40 percent loss of the hand. The total loss of an index or long finger is only 20 percent of the hand.
The thumb is designed to flex and rotate in all directions, and it works differently from the fingers. Thumbs are designed as stabilizers for pinch gripping with a finger. That is why you only have two of them. It is the fingers that have dexterity, not the thumbs and the thumbs are not used to repetitive forceful movements.
Doctors in the United States and United Kingdom claim repetitive use could cause arthritis or harm tendons in the thumb. The earliest symptom of joint arthritis is pain with activities that involve pinch grips. When we use the hand-held communication devices, we grip them. Pain when opening jars, doorknobs, car doors and turning keys are symptoms that might occur after prolonged text messaging or using small devices.
Prolonged or heavy use of the thumb may produce an aching discomfort at the base of the thumb. …

One of Marshall's dresses that we're sure is in the show is her deep-blue, ruffle-train creation from the Diane von Furstenberg challenge, which aired in September. Marshall's dress won that challenge, and as a result, it was picked up by von Furstenberg and has been reproduced in a limited edition.
We also ogled a gown by FIDM design student Richard Tzu Fang Chan's Cherry Blossoms in Eden collection, a line that's uniquely appropriate for a Washington runway. The couture gown is a splash of pinks, reds, and deep maroons, pinned together in a sequence of billowing ruffles and layers.
Another neat touch for this year's show: A collection of Fender guitars designed by FIDM students will be marched down the runway. The collection includes trippy designs such as one acoustic guitar painted with acid-green flourishes and a paisley pattern.
Tickets to the Presidential Inaugural Luncheon and Fashion show are on sale now and can be purchased by calling Julie Hooks at 202-547-7854. Sponsorships, starting at $5,000, are available here.

Re: What are you reading?
I was in Atlanta for a convention this weekend, and on the way down I finished
The Quantum Thief
, and started
Time Travellers Never Die
, by Jack McDevitt. I nearly finished it on the way home because the planes on both legs of my return trip took a good 45 minutes to take off after leaving the gate.
It's better than some other time travel novels I've read over the past couple of years (Joe Haldeman's
The Accidental Time Traveller
was a big disappointment to me), but it's mostly been a series of vignettes as the time travellers go from time period to time period. There's a plot, but it's been far in the background for most of the book. I'm hoping that something big happens in the last 50 pages to make it worthwhile.

I just made a post to my blog, and something went horribly wrong. I posted it, then went in to make some trackbacks as spam and got this warning:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/.papina/dbunder/jadedgamer.coldmeat.org/wp-admin/admin-header.php:16) in /home/.papina/dbunder/jadedgamer.coldmeat.org/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1219
But the HUGE problem is, posts will no longer display on the site. You can see it at http://jadedgamer.coldmeat.org
I didn't make any other changes to the site. No option changes, no new themes, no new plugins, nothing. I just made a post and everything went to hell.
What could have gone wrong? Any help would be much appreciated. We have several loyal readers and I'd hate the site to be inaccessable. My only option right now is to export the entries and comments and do a new install. I'd hate to have to do this.
Thanks again. Frustrated. :(

*Men are men (obviously), Women are women (Duh..). It will never change.*
Well, after a whole life as a woman, I don't mind being a man in my next life!
*British English is better than American English*
Oh, sensitive. I think the Spanglish or the Singlish is the best!
*Maternity and/ or paternity leave should be 2 years long.*
woohoo, I would not mind. but what if the woman gets pregnant one after another, she will never have to work again, and gets paid!
I was amazed by the innovative ideas everyone has and we almost couldn't decide whose invention to use. There were the Toy Boy r Us, Anti-aging the Re-Gen etc... For our group, we were proud to present the AutoShopper. It's a device in the fridge and we'll never need to go to the supermarket again.

Left Lane Cruiser is comprised of Joe Evans on slide guitar and vocals with Brenn Beck on one big-ass bass drum, harmonica and a toolbox full of percussive gear. Honing their craft while playing to house parties, street corners of their home town, and rehearsing in a heatless garage, they have developed their personal high voltage take on the North Mississippi Hill Country sound.
