For my entire engagement, coming on here and telling my story, many many people encouraged me not to get married. I did anyway.
It has been two months. The cheating has stopped (to my knowledge)- but the relationship is completely sullied and spoiled in so many ways and I feel it may be beyond repair. Some of the origins are because of the cheating- some not.
I think I am coming to terms with the fact that when my husband cheated, I changed as a person. I was forced to examine where my boundaries are, what exactly I am comfortable with and not, and where exactly my lines were. When communicating this to my husband, he agreed with me. But as time goes on, it seems that his "agreements" were actually him just telling me what he knew I wanted to hear, and hoping I would get over it and go back to the way I was when we first met- more accepting. That hasn't happened.
The biggest problem, however, is that we do not work as a team. EVERYTHING between us is "you" vs "me" and in terms or "right" vs "wrong" instead of finding solutions and working together.
We bought a house and are supposed to move this weekend. He has done no packing. I have done some, but still have work to do. Normally when it comes to these things (packing to go on vacation, planning etc...) I do everything. This time, I have left his stuff to him and done half of the mutual stuff, and all of my daughter's stuff. And this week, there has been a growing tension and resentment from both of us as he sees me packing my clothes in boxes and wondering when I am going to cave and just to his clothes too... And me not caving and wondering when he is going to get off his ass and start helping out.
Tonight, it finally came to a head. Tomorrow he has the day off and has invited a friend of his over to help him pack. He got all angry at me because my dad and I have plans to go to the house tomorrow and reaping the bathroom (I don't like the color, and there are some holes in the wall- easily fixed, but we will have to pain over where we fixed them anyway) and my daughter's bedroom. I wanted to do painting before we move in- that way we don't have to move around furniture, and then it is done and we can just enjoy the house. He takes this to mean that the house isn't good enough. I'm not sure where this interpretation come from, but we are feuded about that. We argued about the organization- he wants to stick a big futon in what is supposed to be a playroom for my daughter, and he wants to have it facing the closet. He wants to have an extra sofa in the spare bedroom because that is where he is going to set up his gaming systems and play his video games, and he intends on having guests sleep in the spare room when they come to stay as well. I don't think it makes sense to have guests sleep on a sofa, when there is a pull out full size comfortable futon. We fought about that. I don't think the dining room table we have now is going to fit in the new one. I suggested instead of moving it (it is heavy) that we leave it at the condo and sell it on craigslist from the condo. Let someone else worry about moving it instead of us having to. He disagrees, so we fought about that. When he didn't have anything else to disagree with me about, he decided to go ahead and yell at me about how yesterday he asked me to make sure I threw his work clothes in the laundry so he had clean ones today. I picked up a big pile of his work clothes, didn't go through them, and washed them, apparently there weren't any shirts in that pile. I don't know what that has to do with anything or why he brought it up, but he did.
I ended it by saying nothing, getting up and going to take a shower, I got out of the shower and he was already asleep on the sofa. This is the 15th time in the TWO MONTHS we have men married in which he has ended up choosing to sleep on the couch for one reason or another. I came to bed and have been in tears ever since, thinking to myself, "why, why didn't anyone tell me that this would be such a disaster, and that it was probably not going to work?" And then I remembered I heard it for months, right here for many of you, and just chose to stick my head in the sand and not listen.
I have half my stuff in boxes, and I have a new house that we have tons of money invested in and I don't want to go ANYWHERE with this man right now, there is nothing he can say. We've had sex (sexual relations I like Clinton included) a total of 3 times in our marriage. I'm halfway through changing my last name. I just sent out all my thank yous, and ordered a wedding photo book.
And it might get better for a few days, he might wake up in the morning and apologize and we might be okay for a short while- but in the long run, he is him and I am me and therein lies the problem. It's like fire and ice having a fight.
I feel like an idiot. That was all I wanted to say.
"What did you expect? I am a scorpion."
You might benefit from MC.
I get the hint that it's your daughter and not his? Does him wanting the futon in her bedroom make you feel he doesn't consider her feelings at all? That would be a huge flag to me as, if he can't treat her with as much respect as he would if she were his own flesh and blood, then I wouldn't even have M him!
For this to work in the long run you guys need to put some serious work in. It's not admitting defeat to get MC so early in a M. I think it would be foolish not to based on what you've relayed in your post.
I hope things get better and you can find some common ground.
When we first moved in, he was helpful (watched her on days off, helped pay for some stuff) but then also had mixed feelings about it. He has a BIG ass issue that has caused multiple fights (one with me going home and sleeping on the sofa at mom and dad's house) because he refuses to drive DD to school in the morning. He likes to stay up late, goof around, drink, and get up as late as possible in the morning. He works in the same city that DD has daycare. I work in the next city close by, about 10 minutes away. So instead of driving straight to work in the morning, I have to go a round about way and leave twenty minutes earlier. On many mornings, it would be more convenient for him to drive DD to daycare, but he has given every single excuse in the book not to do so, because utlimately it would not be as convenient for him.
He will, however pick her up on his way home at times that I have to work later or if he gets off early.
He considers her his (calls her his daughter, etc...).
As far as the futon thing- I think we have different visions as far as space goes. I don't think it has to do with him not wanting DD to have a play room or not considering her his daughter- it's that he wants more furniture overall, whereas I feel that less is better. I would rather DD have an open room for her space and toys, than put a couch in that area and take up the space. Additionally, I feel that it's not a good place for a sofa anyway. The room is hard to describe but essentially it is not a bedroom...it's an open area that is ultimately part of the hallway between the two upstairs bedrooms. There is a huge closet lining the two walls. He wants to put the futon in that nook area...I don't see how a futon even goes there. Anyone sitting on it would be looking right at a closet. There is no wall to put a TV or anything on- so who is even going to use it other than people who come over and spend the night? AND if he seems to think we will have all these guests spending the night all the time...it makes more sense to have a futon that can be made into a bed in the GUEST ROOM instead of just a couch. But no, that is less comfortable for him. So here we are...
I have suggested marriage counseling many many times (including a lot of times before we got married) and he refuses to go. I guess I could schedule an appt. and just tell him I'm taking him to ice cream and surprise him...but I feel that's even worse.
The whole thing is a disaster and I am so mad. This morning, I told him that I wasn't going to paint at the new house...he got mad at me for that as well. I'm in trouble if I do paint and in trouble if I don't? Well then what the heck am I supposed to be doing?
He has found reasons to fight with you over stupid meaningless stuff. Why? He is displacing his anger. His choice to not sleep with you, and the fights are red flags to me, not only that he hasn't been remorseful, but that he may still in fact be cheating, thinking of cheating, or still in contact with his AP.
What consequences did he have when you caught him, other than you being sad, and and him having to deal with that? Are you checking up on him? Are you sure he is behaving?
He should be doing anything any everything to make you happy at this point, and to help you heal.
You are in a tough spot for sure, but until he has some real consequences for his actions, I am afraid you are stuck in this limbo land.
(((((and strength))))
ETA: YOU ARE NOT A FOOL. Do not feel about this. You were just trying to do what your heart felt was right.
Don't beat yourself up for his hideous behavior.

You need help. So what you didn't listen to the advice on SI before? You can't change the past. Listen now.... Go to marriage counseling if you WH is willing. I hope he is. Both of you need the help. IC for both of you if you can swing it.
As hard as it is, try talking honestly and not in anger with him in the mean time. He isn't a mind reader and if you have always done everything is the past, he will expect that still.
Wow just read your update as I had only read your first post. Sweetie the red flags are all there before you got married. If you really want to stay with this guy, he has to want to change. You can't change him. You can't try for both of you.., it will never work.
You are not a fool. This isn't your fault. He told you what you wanted to hear to manipulate you to going ahead with the marriage. That is on him. If he won't go to mc, then go to IC. It will help you get stronger and come to terms with making the hard decisions if things don't get better.

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
He has done no packing. I have done some, but still have work to do. Normally when it comes to these things (packing to go on vacation, planning etc...) I do everything.
If you normally do all the packing, then he's used to it. If you didn't outright say 'I am not packing your things, i will only be packing DD's and My own" then that's setting yourself up for tension.
By not voicing your expectectations in a mature manner - you just stressed yourself out by expecting him to do what you never told him to do.
he wants to stick a big futon in what is supposed to be a playroom for my daughter,
Was this agreed to when the house was bought in the first place? Is this what you both sat down and decided for that extra space? Why can't she just have her room to play in?
It really sounds like you are both picking stupid silly fights when the elephant in the room is still there pissing you off.
You need to communicate to him what you need and what you expect. You also need to realize that this is BOTH of yours house now, so there needs to be some give and take. Don't disreguard any suggestion that he throws out just because you might not like the idea.
And just because you have only been married a few months, doesnt mean that MC isn't a good choice, because it is. you have been together for a while, so its not like the relationship is new.
I still check up on H- he is very open about everything. His OP's in the past were women that he spoke with and sexted from online- none of them were people that he ever kept in touch with beyond one sexting session. I'm not concerned necessarily about the cheating...just some of the problems that stem from that, and other problems are coming to a head once again.
I just...I thought was getting a partner and a teammate. Apparantly for me, marriage is "do everything yourself while I sit on my ass and complain no matter what you do." Seriously- he is so mad about PAINTING A BATHROOM and fixing a wall that he sleeps on the sofa. Then, this morning when I say I don't paint...I'm in throuble for that as well too. Well darn it, I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. My abusive ex pulled the same kind of garbage and did so as a way to control and maniuplate me into questioning myself. I have no idea what H's angle is, but the fact that I strongly believe at this point that he HAS an angle speaks volumes to me.
We have a rule in our M, that we do not sleep apart unless we are physically not in the same city. During the A H always found an excuese to sleep on the couch, and it was usually after some inane argument, making me feel like I was the one in the wrong. Meaning, if you painting a bathroom and fixing a wall has him in a twist you need to call bullshit, and ask for an explanation to his behavior, and as to why he thinks it's ok to sleep on the couch.
His anger is out of proportion to what's currently going on. Then you add in the fact that you aren't having sex? ? ? Is he a SA? Is he masturbating to porn? The whole on line thing makes me wonder, and then the choosing to sleep away from you gives him the opportunity to masturbate. If this is the case he has some serious intimacy issues, and needs help.
If you didn't outright say 'I am not packing your things, i will only be packing DD's and My own" then that's setting yourself up for tension.
By not voicing your expectectations in a mature manner - you just stressed yourself out by expecting him to do what you never told him to do.

I did outright tell him. I told him he was responsible for his own clothes in both closets. How much more clear could I have been?
Was this agreed to when the house was bought in the first place? Is this what you both sat down and decided for that extra space?
The two upstairs bedrooms in the new house doesn't have closets in the bedrooms. Instead, there is a big open area in between the two rooms, and there is a long, big closet along the back wall. When we saw that room, we discussed MULTIPLE times how that open area would be perfect for an open play area for DD. Since her clothing will be in that closet anyway... we thought it would be nice for her to have the extra space. We have been in the home many many times and every single one of those times, we have discussed amongst ourselves that the space would be great to put DD's larger toys and whatnot in...we have even had this conversation in the house with other people (my parents and his grandparents came to the inspection with us). So again, I am not sure where the misunderstanding would have happened on my part- I was extremely clear and have been the entire time.
It isn't as though I saw the house and had a bunch of visions and decided to do stuff randomly without speaking to him first. To me, it feels like he up and changed his mind and didn't tell me, but expected me to know, and then just go along with his random mind change without discussing it even though his ideas are not making sense to me.
Do what YOU want to do. He did.
There is alot of "i thought, he should have known, why didnt he think to do this" and the problem with that is you are projecting onto him what YOU would do....not realizing that he doesn't do things the way you would.
From the post he sounds like a lazy ass....was he this way before you were married?

Is politics in India child's play? Is our democracy a game?
According to a recent proposal made by the Election Commission it might soon be, quite literally.
In order to encourage children and teenagers to learn more about elections and other aspects of our political system the EC — which feels that public-interest advertisements and TV commercials are not enough — is reportedly planning to launch an 'edutainment' video game to achieve this laudable end.
The game, being designed by a professional communications company and partly financed by the United Nations Development Programme, will be made available later this year. Players will be able to download the game onto their computers, or smartphones, from the EC's official website.
In the yet-to-be-titled game players must negotiate a maze through several doors which lead on to higher levels, depending on the number of points scored by the participant. Each time a player wins a point, 'tidbits of information' about our electoral process will pop up on the screen, according to an EC spokesperson.
Most will agree with EC that promoting political awareness among the young and getting them into voting booths is a worthwhile objective. However, sceptics will wonder whether the initiative invites the observation that in the hands of our netas our democracy has itself become a plaything.
Indeed, our politicos might be the best professionals to devise diverse variants of games that are routinely played by them, both before and after elections. One such could be an updated version
of that old favourite, Snakes and Ladders, with the difference that — thanks to what has been called the 'compulsions of coalitional politics'— the malevolent 'snakes' opposing one can suddenly morph into ladders of success in government formation, and vice versa.
Similarly, several different versions of the children's game of Musical Chairs have been practised, and perfected, by our netas, who have been known to swap seats as rotational chief ministers. There is also the Merry-Go-Round diversion known as cabinet reshuffles, a term that has prompted the remark that, no matter how much you shuffle the deck, it's the same old jokers who get dealt out.
The recent trend of politicians penning 'bare-all-and-dare-all' memoirs could be replicated as a reformatted game of Chinese Whispers, in which hush-hush revelations, passed on from ear to ear, end up totally transformed from what they were at their point of origin, so much so as to be quite incomprehensible both to participants and onlookers alike.
The proliferation of political parties could provide a cue to a new kind of Blind Man's Buff, in which blindfolded players try to exercise their franchise by groping their way through a labyrinth of electoral symbols.
In more ways than one, we're already game for democracy.

BURNLEY stand a better chance of keeping top scorer Danny Ings as a Premier League club, says departing midfielder Brian Stock.
Speculation has already started as to whether the Clarets can keep a partnership with Sam Vokes that yielded almost 50 goals in their promotion season together next term.
Vokes penned a contract extension earlier in the season, taking him to the summer of 2017.
Burnley are hopeful of agreeing new terms with 26-goal Ings, who has a year left to run on his current deal, given that a number of Premier League clubs have scouted the England Under 21 international this season.
But Stock feels promotion will stand the Clarets in good stead of entering the top flight with their strikeforce intact.
"They have a 100 per cent better chance of keeping him with going up," said the 32-year-old, who has been released from the club at the end of his two-year contract.
"Danny Ings is a Premier League player in my mind.
"I've played with a lot of top players throughout my career, Danny tops that list. If he wants it he has got the world at his feet. He hasn't put a foot wrong all season.
"It's going to be tough for a club to keep hold of a player like that, and either way the club's going to benefit.
"But fingers crossed they will keep him, and I do think there's a better chance now."
The midfielder described the last nine months as "a great season success wise," adding: "Although I've not been a major part in that success I feel like I've played my part along the way.
"The manager has done ever so well to make everyone feel involved and deserves all the plaudits he gets."
But Stock admitted promotion was not an outcome he envisaged at the start of the season.
"With losing the goals of Charlie Austin there were question marks whether the big man (Sam Vokes) and Danny were going to score the goals.
"They are great players but they'd never really scored that many goals.
"They've blown me away and blown the country away with how they've done.
"They're my boys from Southampton so I'm really close to both of them and it's been great to share it with them."
Stock was brought to Burnley by Eddie Howe, his former Bournemouth team-mate, for around £100,000 in August 2012.
He added: "I fully appreciated that Eddie signed me, even though he left not long after.
"He built a good foundation with the players he signed so he's got a part to play in the success as well.
"The new manager came in and built on that, and the biggest thing that changed was that he got everyone pushing in the right direction.
"I've played in many teams when players who aren't playing want the team to lose to they can get back in the side. There wasn't any of that.
"It's been such a good collective this season and that's been a powerful force."
Of his two years overall at Turf Moor, Stock said: "I've been through different emotions. There have been times I've been frustrated and there have been good times. I've not got a bad word to say about anyone at the club. I've loved every minute."

HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard
The Question is:
Hi, we have a MicroVAX3900, a few Emulex P4000 terminal servers and a bunch of PC's all connected through a CISCO Catalyst 2950. I am out of P4000 ports. How can I, and what do I need to enable the PC's to act as VT terminals and connect to the VAX via the CISCO switch?
The Answer is :
The PATHWORKS 32 client package offers the ability to connect to OpenVMS hosts directly via LAT, DECnet, and IP protocols -- this assumes you have a network connection, and not an asynchronous serial connection. If you require an asynchronous serial connection, you will want to configure IP with PPP or SLIP to connect into a communications server device -- basically, an IP router that allows a PPP or SLIP serial connection to be routed onto a LAN and from there to connect to an OpenVMS host with an installed IP stack. Third-party vendors offer terminal servers, as well -- the OpenVMS Wizard is not in a position to assist with Emulex P4000 terminal servers nor with Cisco Catalyst switches, nor with Microsoft Windows support issues, nor to recommend terminal servers or switches.

North Dakota names deputy tax commissioner
BISMARCK -- North Dakota's incoming tax commissioner, Ryan Rauschenberger, announced Monday that budget analyst Joe Morrissette will serve as his deputy tax commissioner, a position Rauschenberger has held since 2009.
Morrissette, a certified public accountant, has been a budget analyst with the state Office of Management and Budget for the past 12 years. Prior to that, he worked for the state Legislative Council.
Morrissette brings "a wealth of experience" in dealing with fiscal matters vital to North Dakota, and his budgetary and legislative backgrounds will be instrumental to the Tax Commissioner's Office as it meets the challenges of a growing economy, Rauschenberger said in a news release.
Morrissette's duties as deputy will include leading the department's research and policy team, assisting Rauschenberger in areas of tax administration and working with legislative committees on tax policy.
Last month, Gov. Jack Dalrymple appointed Rauschenberger as tax commissioner effective Jan. 1 to replace outgoing Tax Commissioner Cory Fong, who is leaving for the private sector.

Sherron Collins rebounded from a nightmarish shooting night against LaSalle to go seven for ten against Michigan but also had his worst assist-to-turnover ratio of the year (two assists, six turnovers). He still has twice as many dishes as baked goods this season and has only scored less than nine points once this year even though he's averaging five points a game less than his junior campaign (though that can be attributed to the depth the Jayhawks).
If there's a guy you absolutely, positively have to have with the ball in his hands at crunch time that guy is Jerome Randle. In addition to his gaudy free-throw percentage (94 percent) he puts up nearly twenty a game and distributes the pill with equal efficiency (five assists a game). However, he's not a terrific defender.
Advantage: Kansas. Collins should have a fairly good shooting night and be able to slow Randle down just enough.
Shooting Guards:
Had Xavier Henry decided to go to Kentucky instead of Kansas the Wildcats might be fifth in the NBA's Eastern Conference but it's not like he made the wrong decision. He has put up double figures every game and has also played solid defense (nearly two steals a game). At six-six and lightning-quick he's a nightmare to guard. He should be a top-five pick in the spring.
Patrick Christopher has elevated his game in his last two outings, averaging twenty and ten in points and rebounds, but in the Bears three losses he has shot only 33 percent from the field. He has also gotten in foul trouble in three of the last four outings.
Advantage: Kansas. Henry can match up well with Christopher on the defensive end and can be counted on to get his numbers with more efficiency from the field.
Third Guards:
Tyshawn Taylor doesn't shoot the ball well but handles it well and is another solid defender (which is a recurring theme in Lawrence). Don't expect to see him on the floor for most of the game (about 22 minutes) as the Jayhawks' bench is loaded for bear.
A lot of preseason publications predicted all-conference status for Jorge Gutierrez – next season. He's become an incredibly efficient three-point artist (almost sixty percent from radar love) and also gives them great ballhandling. However, he doesn't shoot well inside the arc and can be beaten defensively.
Advantage: Even. These guys are pretty much the same player.
Power Forwards:
Marcus Morris comes off a career-best effort against Michigan (23 points, 10 rebounds) and he's been crashing the boards with more enthusiasm the past five outings (35 total rebounds). Since fusing him with twin Markieff is illegal and should only be reserved for SyFy movies Marcus will have to continue his production.
Theo Robertson came off the bench against Pacific after returning from injury but is too talented to keep him out of the starting lineup. He should force Morris to come outside and guard him thanks to his outside shooting skills but isn't much of a rebounder.
Advantage: Kansas. Robertson is still working himself back into game condition and Morris has been on a tear.
Cole Aldrich has heeded the advice of one-time wrestler The Rock and knows his role. Even though he didn't have a basket against Michigan he had the best defensive effort of the team with eleven boards and three rejections. He's still averaging close to a double-double and his assist-to-turnover ratio is about even.
Either Jamal Boykin or Max Zhang will get the nod against Aldrich. Boykin has been very solid in all of the Bears defeats and is a better candidate to start. Zhang has improved from project status and can match up height wise but has never gathered more than six rebounds in a game this season.
Advantage: Kansas. Aldrich is one of the best defensive centers in college hoops.
The aforementioned second half of the rejected science experiment is fifth on the team in scoring and forms a solid front-line reserve duo with Thomas Robinson (five points and rebounds a game). Beyond that the Jayhawks are stacked at guard with three-point specialist Tyrel Reed and backup points Elijah Johnson and Brady Morningstar. Also, one-time Arizona recruit Jeff Withey is now eligible to give Aldrich a spell.
Omondi Amoke and Markhuri Sanders-Frison are not only fun names to say but will work together with either Boykin or Zhang to form a solid second front-line unit off the pine. Nikola Knezevic and D.J. Seeley are there to give Randle and Co. breathers in the backcourt but don't offer much production.
Advantage: Kansas. Their second unit could start for a lot of Power Six conference teams.
Bill Self was a prohibitive favorite to get his second NCAA title this season but due to the rise of Kentucky and Syracuse that is no longer the case. Even though his charges can fill the basket like an overeager grandmother fills a stocking he preaches defense and the 'Hawks collectively shout "Amen!"
Mike Montgomery has Cal fans excited again (and Stanford fans cursing his name). He has had to overcome injuries to key players (Harper Kamp was a likely candidate to start at center) and his team should compete for top honors in the watered-down Pac-10.
Advantage: Even. Self has the title but Montgomery has worked well with this group.
This is easily the toughest test Kansas has had to face this year. Cal has been game but hasn't done well against likely NCAA Tournament teams (Syracuse, Ohio State, New Mexico were all losses). Even though the Golden Bears will give everything they have it won't be enough.
Kansas 82, California 69.

The Tribune Co. auction took an interesting turn with a liberal activist group's initiative to crowdsource a bid for the newspaper
publisher in order to keep it out of the hands of people it describes as untrustworthy plutocrats.
The group, called The Other 98%, has launched a crowdsourced fundraising effort on Indiegogo.com, which aims to raise $660 million to buy Tribune and convert it into a publicly owned nonprofit organization. That works out to roughly $2 for every person in the United States.
In a four-minute video explaining their goals, spokeswoman Nicole Carty warned against letting Tribune fall into the hands of media mogul Rupert Murdoch or the billionaire Koch brothers, all of whom are known for conservative views.
Noting the successful public ownership strategy of the Green Bay Packers, Carty stated: "This is a way for Americans to say that they're tired of billionaires fighting over who gets to control our media. We don't need them. If the public can successfully own a football team, they can do the same with their city's newspaper."
Last week two other liberal activist groups, Courage Campaign Institute and Forecast the Facts, launched an advertising campaign to oppose the Koch brothers' rumored bid for Tribune, with ads on the Web sites of the Los Angeles Times and The New York Times (for readers in the LA area). The ad showed the Koch brothers, Charles and David, alongside Tribune chairman Bruce Karsh and Oaktree Capital chairman Howard Marks, manipulating the LAT on puppet strings, with the headline "Save the Newspaper!"
The ad encourages readers to sign an online pledge to stop reading and subscribing to the newspaper if Tribune sells it to the Koch brothers.

Intellectual Property Law
Intellectual Property Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer
do you mean that a page of the book is shown along with other elements, like sitting on a table?
is the text legible? if not then there is definitely no concern
but even if it is, it is not the type of "copying" that copyright would be concerned with
so permission is not likely necessary
Hi Alex,
Yes, it would be shown along with other elements like a "still life" on a table.
The text IS legible
and how much is legible? a line? paragraph?
I like your answer, but if our magazine is for sale and consumption, does that matter?
that is taken into account
but my answer still applies
about half a page is legible. The title of the short story fits our summer theme for the mag. that's why it's open to it.
I can't even figure out who holds the copyright b/c its from 1954
and the World Publishing Company is out of business
given the small amount of material and the situation of the company, i'd say the chances of legal issues are very low
also, it's possible that the copyright is no longer valid, but we need more info to figure that out
The book is still being printed. The new publisher is Wiley.
do you know if I would need to get permission from them?
Either from them or they could put you in touch with the copyright holder
how would I do that? seems like a long and expensive process
simpy contact them and ask to speak with someone in licensing/copyright
it may or may not be an easy process
no way to know ahead of time
ok, I just found this copyright on this book on amazon
i see the page
I assumed that the book was under copyright protection
but this page is not going to tell you whether the book is under copyright protection
so you should focus on contacting the copyright holder if you want to be 100% safe but as I mentioned above this is not likely to be an issue...but without copyright things are subjective and there are no clear rules
fyi here is a great resource for copyright fair use: http://fairuse.stanford.edu/Copyright_and_Fair_Use_Overview/

NEW YORK (Dec. 1)
A program of greatly expanded cultural activity between the American Jewish community and Israel began tonight with the announcement that $1,250,000 had been raised to initiate the newly established Dr. Joseph J. Schwartz Fund for Leadership Training at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The announcement was made at a dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel where the Scopus Award–the highest honor given by the American Friends of the Hebrew University–was conferred on Dr. Schwartz, executive vice-president of the Israel Bond Organization.
The $1,250,000 figure exceeded by 25 percent the results anticipated when the idea of the Fund was first projected. Approximately 1,000 community leaders, many of them from distant cities across the country, attended the nationally sponsored dinner to Dr. Schwartz who has for more than 30 years been a key figure in the American Jewish community.
In response to the presentation of the Scopus Award, which was made by Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Avraham Harman, Dr. Schwartz spoke of "the urgent need for strengthening Jewish values to stem the tide of assimilation in a world which is hopefully shaking off the poison of anti-Semitism."
Dr. Schwartz posed these questions: "What will happen to the Jewish people if a release from persecution is translated into a release from all practice and identity with Judaism? What positive formula of education can be devised to replace the negative stimulus of oppression? What force other than Israel can be brought into play to stop many Jewish intellectuals in the United States and other parts of the world from drifting away from the mainstream of Jewish communal and cultural association?" An answer to those questions, he asserted, would be provided "if thousands of our young people spent a year or more at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem."
Dr. Abram L. Sachar, president of Brandeis University, outlined the history of the Hebrew University which this year celebrates its 40th academic year. He cited the growth of the Hebrew University, which this year has over 10,000 students on its five campuses and a faculty of 1,200.
Ambassador Harman represented Mrs. Golda Meir, Israel's Foreign Minister, whose visit to the United States has been prevented by illness. Other Israel Government representatives included Ambassador Michael Comay, Israel's permanent representative to the United Nations, and Ambassador Katriel Katz, Consul General. The program was opened by Professor Milton Handler, chairman of the executive committee of the American Friends of the Hebrew University, who presided.
Messages of tribute to Dr. Schwartz were received from Israel's President Zalman Shazar, Prime Minister Levi Eshkol and Hebrew University President Eliahu Elath. A message of tribute was also received from Samuel Rothberg of Peoria, Ill., chairman of the Board of the American Friends of the Hebrew University who was unable to attend the dinner because of illness.
Lionel R. Bauman, president of the American Friends of the Hebrew University, said that "as one member of the generation which witnessed a barbarous attempt to liquidate our people and almost overnight a heroic, miraculous resurgence, I gratefully acknowledge the leadership and dedication of Dr. Schwartz who throughout these turbulent years was always the right man in the right place at the right time."

September 21, 2011
Considering that a University of Kansas banner hung above the podium where Perry Ellis made his announcement on Wednesday, there wasn't a lot of mystery to the highly touted power forward's college decision.
The Wichita native chose the Jayhawks over Kentucky, Kansas State and Wichita State, explaining that he felt more at home with Kansas than any of his other suitors.
"I've been there so many times, I just felt so comfortable there," Ellis told reporters during a press conference at his school. "All these schools were real close to me. They've been there three or four years now. It was a tough decision."
Ellis selecting Kansas was no surprise to most recruiting experts, but that doesn't diminish the significance for the Jayhawks. After a series of recruiting misses forced Bill Self to try to unearth some hidden gems in his 2011 class, he couldn't afford to let a consensus top 30 prospect and the three-time Kansas player of the year slip away to either an out-of-state power or one of his in-state rivals.
What makes Ellis an elite prospect is his ability to score in numerous ways, whether in transition, via the mid-range jump shot or off the dribble. The 6-foot-8 senior appears to be the heir apparent to current Kansas starting power forward Thomas Robinson, a projected lottery pick in the 2012 NBA draft.
For in-state schools Kansas State and Wichita State who recruited Ellis for years, Wednesday's announcement was a bitter reminder of the basketball pecking order in the Sunflower State. It hurts Kentucky to lose a player John Calipari targeted this summer, but the Wildcats will recover quickly since they're still in the running for a handful of top 50 prospects and they already landed elite wing Archie Goodwin the previous night.

Mollydooker Wines Case Study
Quality wines and quality customer service supported by a ShoreTel Unified Communications solution drive international success for Australian winemaker
Local Australian winemaker tackling international market
Mollydooker Wines ('Mollydooker') is based in the South Australian McLaren Vale wine region. The winemaker has three vineyards and a total of 116 acres of grape vines, producing 80,000 dozen cases of wine each vintage. Originally established to supply wine exclusively for the US market, Mollydooker now also has a significant domestic market and international distribution network. The winemaker has a reputation for producing worldclass wines, with its 2012 vintage Carnival of Love Shiraz awarded the number two wine in the world in 2014 by Wine Spectator magazine.
With distributors in every State in the US, Mollydooker prides itself on its 'old-fashioned' approach to business and customer service, explains Andrew Brown, IT Manager at Mollydooker Wines.
"When people buy our products – whether that's the customer themselves, a restaurant, distributor or a liquor store – we make a 'thank you' call."
"We ship to most of the US direct to the consumer, which means we do a lot of phone calls from Australia, and US customers really love getting a phone call from someone in Australia, with the accent, saying: 'We see your wine has been delivered, thank you very much for the order. We hope you enjoy it and please let us know if we can do anything else for you.' It's our main marketing strategy."
Currently taking between 500 and 1000 international orders per month, it translates to a lot of phone calls.
ShoreTel solution overcomes regional communications infrastructure
In the past, Mollydooker's approach to customer service and communications had created problems, with its digital telephony solution at end of life, and a number of remote offices that weren't connected on the same phone system. Mollydooker also faced ongoing challenges and frequent outages with an outdated and poorly-performing regional telecommunications infrastructure. Added to that, mobile phone coverage in their area was patchy and unreliable.
"We're trying to run an international wine business out of a small country town in South Australia and a lot of the systems in place here date from the 1950s. Where we are trying to make the leap in technology is to make ourselves more connected to the outside world," said Brown.
Andrew Brown, IT Manager
Mollydooker Wines
With an emphasis on voice as its key customer service differentiator, Mollydooker needed a stable, reliable and high-quality telephony solution. It also had to be adaptable to scale and evolve with Mollydooker's international growth plans and changing business model.
Mollydooker's introduction to ShoreTel Unified Communications stemmed from a meeting about improving its mobile phone reception. The conversation quickly turned to Mollydooker's entire telephony environment, and how it could improve.
The decision to deploy ShoreTel Unified Communications was based on the solution's overall reliability and stability, the improvement ShoreTel could make to Mollydooker's customer service and sales,and the potential the solution offered for future growth and capability.
In preparation for the ShoreTel deployment, Mollydooker replaced its ADSL broadband service with a direct fibre optic connection for voice and data, implementing SIP trunking and reserving 1MB for voice traffic.
Achieving Mollydooker's customer service objectives
Using the ShoreTel Communicator client, staff members are able to use their PCs to manage contacts, use click to call, transfer calls and communicate with other staff members using instant messaging, and have visibility on their call history. Integration of ShoreTel with Microsoft Outlook allows users to use their email to access and play back all voicemails received.
Mollydooker has also used ShoreTel's workgroup features to set up hunt groups, follow-me and overflow rules to ensure that all calls are answered.
Most importantly, ShoreTel has significantly improved Mollydooker's communication with its customers.
"Since the start of using ShoreTel as a product within the company, we've seen a lot better communication with the outside world, as well as the ease and quality of that communication with our customers. No more time delays or fading out, which makes that experience of calling our customers that much more effective," said Brown.
One unique feature of Mollydooker's ShoreTel system aligns nicely with the company's old-fashioned branding, aesthetic and approach to customer service. An old 1950s Bakelite and brass telephone features in the Mollydooker cellar door and has been set up with a ShoreTel analogue licence, so that all calls to the toll free number will ring twice on that phone first, before switching through to the customer service team on ShoreTel handsets. More than just of novelty benefit, the old phone's ring alerts the team to a customer call.
"In the cellar door environment when we have customers, and we are never quite sure how busy we are going to be, our priority is always to look after the face-to-face customer. If we have an internal phone call from internal staff members, sometimes we will ignore it if we are dealing with the public. What we've set up here is an alert to make sure we didn't ignore a customer from the outside world," said Brown.
From an administrative perspective, ShoreTel Unified Communications has resulted in significant benefits.
"We've saved a lot of time and effort as far as moving staff. In the old days with a PABX it might be a two or three hour process to move the staff member just on the communications side of things – whereas now, with the plug and play features of ShoreTel you don't have to worry about that," said Brown.
"Diverting phone numbers around the company was a laborious task. What we can do now with a few clicks on the keyboard used to take four or five hours for someone to redirect phones and then you wouldn't know about whether it worked for three or four days."
"There is a considerable saving in the amount of effort it takes, the effectiveness of that communication and the amount of time we need to expend on making changes to the structure of the communications."
Also, with redundancy in place, Mollydooker has been enjoying 99.999% availability since the ShoreTel system was installed.
"With ShoreTel as a product itself – and it's not just the physical phones but also the desktop client and software that goes with the system – I would certainly recommend it to any company that has multiple channels of communication with the outside world, especially if you are communicating on an international scale," concluded Brown.
Future Plans
Mollydooker has some exciting plans for the future and is confident that its ShoreTel solution will support its business growth. The ShoreTel infrastructure is currently virtualised on-site, with Mollydooker planning to move most of the functionality to an off-site hosted facility, and will also implement a 4G failover in case there is a network outage. This will provide greater redundancy and ensure ongoing connectivity, especially for its vital customer sales and service operations.
Based in regional South Australia, Mollydooker Wines needed a reliable, easy-to-use and effective communications solution to service its Australian and international sales and marketing operations.
Mollydooker Wines implemented a ShoreTel Unified Communications solution across its three McLaren Vale vineyards, extending to three US-based full-time resources who manage sales and marketing in Mollydooker's most important market.
- Supporting corporate sales and marketing strategies
- Better communications with international colleagues
- Improved interconnectivity between different nodes of the business
- Productivity improvements and increased use of softwarebased communications tools
- Reduced telephony administrative overheads and effort

Dealing with Incarcerated Boyfriend
My boyfriend of 3 years was incarcerated a week ago for his third DUI in Texas. I lived in his house with him and had to move in with my older sister in her 1 bedroom apartment because I have been unemployed.
He has been sober for 10 months and goes to AA daily but still got jail time. He paid his attorney $10,000. The plea was for 54 months but his attorney said that he would serve about 7 months. I don't trust this guy, though.
What's hard is not knowing how long he will be in and where he will be.
I suffer from depression and anxiety and this has made matters worse.

Waiting IS up to you. I personally wouldnt put my life on hold for too long of a time frame & sometimes is best to CHOOSE what YOU want in life & NOT let LIFE CHOOSE for you cause that can & will cause great resentment/frustration later on & alot of WHAT IFS or what could of been. I'll bet you ARE lonely although you have your sister around, but ask yourself if there are other things to occupy your time & fill the emptiness WITH? A hobby, taking walks????? While your looking for employment would keep you focused & feeling more productive in life, more purposeful.

Excellant, fulltime employment thats a start to more independency & self assurance/confidence for you & yourself to be capable of standing on your own.
Am not sure why you'd feel guilty though if you met & went out w/someone else as your not married?????? Are you engaged to the boyfriend? You'd mentioned previously you were LIVING w/the boyfriend. Would be wise to keep all your options OPEN to yourself as that is a gateway to a more happier you w/setting future goals w/someone if & when your ever ready to do that.
You'd said you suffer from depression so that may be the cause of isolating/hibernating, maybe the job will help remedy some of that.
All my strengths.

I understand that one as I
I understand that one as I still have days like that too BECAUSE of my past & I too never saw my life going this way either but what I learned the past couple of years has helped me in that usually our past IS a gateway to what the future hold for us & if we dont look at it & see it & learn from it then it will pretty much keep going in that direction. I have no doubt in my mind now that it all had to do w/the way I was raised & what directly/indirectly happened that I choose a very hard path, I can even see it sometimes for my 2 sons (18 & 26 now) & its hard to convince them to do things a different way as to not repeat history. If one really looks they can see the RED FLAGS marking the whole way.

I stopped doing my holiday
I stopped doing my holiday traditions last year due to my circumstances & how I was feeling, it was a little odd at first & then was really ok cause my kids were busy doing other things so I decided to do it again this year w/NO peer pressure or guilt til I'm ready again in the future. I really wanted to start a new tradition w/going somewhere else & just enjoy being together w/someone & my family instead of presents.....its just stuff that I cant really afford & feels better to give from my heart NOT my wallet & that IS what holidays are suppose to be about anyway TOGETHERNESS.

Shutterfly (NASDAQ:SFLY) reported its FY 2012 earnings on February 5. Revenues increased 35% y-o-y to $641 million. The revenue growth can be attributed to robust performance of the consumer segment. The acquisition of technology companies, Photoccino and Penguin Digital in 2012, helped the company improve its services, which helped the number of unique transacting customers grow to 7.1 million users, a 30% growth over last year.
The company reiterated its focus will be on the mobile platform in 2013, which we expect will drive further growth in unique transacting customers over the forecast period. The enterprise segment surprised with a strong performance as revenues grew almost 100% to $27 million. The company added new clients like United Health group and expanded existing relationships with Dell and AT&T during the year. The revenues growth can be attributed to a growth in orders from existing clients. Increased utilization of existing facilities saw the company improve its gross margins from 53.6% in 2011 to 54% in 2012. We expect the margins to decline marginally over the forecast period as the company shifts to a new production facility with more capacity in 2013.
Shutterfly competes primarily with services like HP's (NYSE:HPQ) Snapfish, American Greetings' Photoworks and Webshots brands, and Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) Cards app on iOS.
Customer Growth Continues
Shutterfly continues to add new customers organically as well as through acquisitions. At the end of 2012, its transacting customer base stood at 7.1 million, a 30% year-over-year increase. The strong growth largely organic, was the result of a successful marketing campaign. The growth was also helped by the acquisition of customers from the now defunct Kodak Gallery. The growth in transacting customers and introduction of new products also resulted in a 30% growth in the number of orders processed.
The average order value was largely unchanged,as a result of combined benefits of a number of promotional and pricing strategies, and a better-than-expected first time order value by the newly acquired Kodak customers. We expect the same to grow marginally over the forecast period, a result of the product mix, which includes low priced products such as greeting cards priced at $2 each. The larger volumes of low priced items is expected to mitigate the effect of introduction of premium priced products.
Enterprise Business Grows Strongly
The company reported strong revenue growth from the enterprise/commercial printing segment, which doubled its revenues to $27 million. The strong performance was driven by growth in the number orders, from existing clients as wells as new client additions. As a result of which Enterprise revenues accounted for 4% of total revenues, up from 3% last year.
We have a $40 Trefis price estimate for Shutterfly, which is 23% above the market price.

Penryn Town Council renewed their support for town centre pharmacies this week after an application was made for yet another new chemist's in a retail park on the outskirts of town.
Detail on the proposed new pharmacy is scant, except that the application for a licence has been lodged with the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Primary Care Trust by Nigel Morely - who is a registered pharmacist and owns the industry consultancy firm Surelines Ltd.
It comes on the back of the Asda pharmacy row, which sparked protests earlier this year after the Penryn supermarket opened a makeshift pharmacy in its car park without planning permission from Cornwall Council.
Penryn currently has two town centre pharmacies, one on Market Street and another in Saracen Way, plus Falmouth Health Centre on Trescobeas Road is set to extend its opening hours soon to meet local need.
Councillor Ted Wilkes said: "We have fought hard against this Asda one for a long, long time and we can't go back on what we have said."
But councillor John Langan cautioned that the council could be seen as "pushing business away".
"We must wonder why all these large companies seem to think that there's a need for other pharmacies in our town," he said.
"Are we not being blinded by this absolute need to defend a dying high street?
"I'm beginning to wonder if we are right."
Councillors voted to object to the new pharmaceutical licence being granted "due to the potential adverse impact on the viability and vitality of the town centre."
Mr Langan abstained.

Loggers are not typically fazed by the sight of a moose, but a Belchertown man encountered a moose so quarrelsome he had to run for his life.
In late September, Peter Brown, 54, was in Shutesbury scoping out his current logging job when he returned to his skidder, a type of tractor used in logging, and saw a large moose by the vehicle.
A logger for 35 years, Brown was no stranger to the animals. He approached cautiously, hoping to capture a picture of the behemoth. But this moose didn't want his picture taken and charged toward Brown.
"I realized I had to run," said Brown, "I was looking for a tree to climb, but couldn't find one. So I had to start running again. It was terrifying."
Brown, who had both hips replaced less than two years ago, was told by doctors he could never run again.
It turned out he could.
He managed to slow the moose down by weaving through trees, something the animal could not do because of its large antlers.
The chase lasted more than 10 minutes, he estimated, before Brown managed to get back to his machine and take shelter in it.
"I couldn't run forever. I was so terrified I ran right past it," Brown said, adding that he was very disoriented at that point, and the moose continued to grunt and circle his machine.
Brown said he spent the next few days constantly looking over his shoulder and kept his chainsaw handy. Brown, who owns his own small logging company, always works alone.
Prior to the moose encounter, Brown said, he had been attacked by flying squirrels, stirring up childhood memories of "Rocky and Bullwinkle" for the longtime logger.
"This moose was intent on doing me bodily harm," said Brown, who first told his story to The Daily Hampshire Gazette. "They're usually quite docile; this was just one big, bad moose."
Male moose are particularly aggressive from August to early October when they are in rutting season and can be very territorial, according to the National Park Service website.Sarah N. Mattero can be

You Ask For It, You're Gonna Get It: Norman Reedus Talks Negan's Kill On 'The Walking Dead'
It's been a few months since Season 6 finale of The Walking Dead, but the hype over the controversial episode has yet to die down. Last night, Norman Reedus appeared on Conan and .
When prompted on whether it's true that The Walking Dead showrunners Scott M. Gimple and Gregory Nicotero have filmed multiple death scenes to maintain an air of mystery, the Daryl Dixon actor responded:
"They're going to great lengths not to spoil it. I'll say that. It's like one of those things — you ask for it, you're gonna get it. … It might be rougher than you were expecting. It's hardcore."
Conan's followup question touched on whether or not he knows who's going to die next season. Reedus revealed he does who faced Lucille, but he kept his cool demeanor and his lips firmly sealed.
Norman Reedus's commentary is interesting, but intentionally ambiguous, especially the sentence "You ask for it, you're gonna get it." What exactly do you mean by that, Norman? Let's discuss.
There have been countless fan theories speculating who died since "The Last Day on Earth" aired. In fact, we did a roundup article on that have circulated the internet. But in those theories, there are still a few characters whose names appear more than others.
In case you've somehow forgotten the nail-biting cliffhanger, watch the full scene here:
Glenn Rhee is living on borrowed time
Glenn's death at the hands of Negan is the most widely-discussed possibility. After all, it is Glenn who gets his head bashed in after the game of "eeny, meeny, miny, moe" and death becomes a catalyst for integral plot points in future storylines. Plus, sticking to the source material is something fans are always partial too.
broke down the final POV scene of "The Last Day on Earth" shot-by-shot, and concluded that the angle we see could only be from Glenn's perspective. It's a pretty convincing theory, so to look at it a little more in-depth, .
It already feels like Glenn has been living on borrowed time since his near-death experience in Season 6, Episode 3 "Thank You," and giving him the proverbial axe — or bat, in this case — seems to be the most concrete result.
Abraham Ford will get Orange Crush-ed
Like Glenn, Abraham is another character whose death in the comic book has been postponed and handed off to another character. In the episode "Twice as Far," it was Denise who the arrow through the eye originally intended for Abraham.
Another extremely popular theory suggests Abraham's fate was foretold by a can of soda. The pointed out Denise died shortly after finding a can of Orange Crush. Could it be that the showrunners are hinting Abaham may have been spared from an arrow through the eye, but he his orange head be crushed by Negan's bat?
It's a thin connection, but I wouldn't put it past The Walking Dead to be so nuanced in their foreshadowing. Read more about .
Daryl Dixon is ripe for revenge
We might not be asking for this one, but Daryl Dixon's death has been hypothesized for years. As one of the show's most badass and beloved characters, Daryl's death would be devastating. And as Rick's crossbow-wielding righthand man, it would totally shakeup the survivors group as we know it.
Some fans have also pointed out that Negan may already have his eyes set on Daryl before they officially met. Twitter user Vinnie Gorham spotted a car in the background that approached just before Daryl blew up a group of the Saviors in "Start to Finish." If Negan has revenge on his mind, Daryl is the obvious choice. To read more about Daryl Dixon's potential passing, .
Car in the background… Neegan?
— Vinnie Gorham (@VinnieGorham)
From a practical standpoint, Norman Reedus also signed onto a new AMC series Ride with Norman Reedus. Will his new schedule allow him to film the new show as well as The Walking Dead? I really hope so. The Walking Dead without Daryl is like a motorcycle without its engine.
Norman Reedus says we're going to get what we asked for, but only time will tell us what his vague phrasing truly meant.
It's not official at the moment, but following tradition, Season 7 of The Walking Dead will likely premiere the Sunday before New Your Comic Con on October 9.

The Rio thing: Moonlight on water, feijoada and mangoes, miles of virgin sand, a gentle bossa nova, your lover's eyes--they all fall gently into the romantic territory of Ivan Lins, a Brazilian pop composer/performer who pads like a boy from Ipanema in the footsteps of the late Antonio Carlos Jobim. Enormously popular in Brazil, Lins is also a favorite with American musicians from Quincy Jones to Terence Blanchard, and a night at the Denver Botanic Gardens with the Rio-born tunesmith and his top-notch band should convince you to follow suit. Lins performs at the Gardens, 1005 York St., tonight at 7:15; for tickets, $19, call 777-3836 or drop by the DBG front-gate ticket office during business hours.
Tattoo you: Men in skirts and tattoos--sounds like your typical, garden-variety Saturday-night mosh pit. But throw in a bevy of bagpipes, drums, pomp, circumstance and some of those big, furry hats and, well, you get the picture: It all adds up to an old-country tradition not influenced in the least by the latest trends from L.A. or Seattle. The annual Longs Peak Scottish Highland Festival, set to roll this weekend in Estes Park, salutes Celtic culture with old-fashioned kilts and tattoos (Celtic for "massed bands"); jousting matches and a variety of antiquated sports and games; folk concerts featuring artists from Nova Scotia, Canada and the British Isles; an exhibit of rare, bushy-banged Highland cattle; a Grand March of Dogs with terrier races and other canine competitions; plenty of beer and single-malt Scotch whiskey for tasting; and much more, if that's possible. The first of three tattoos kicks off the event tonight at 7:30 at the Stanley Park Fairgrounds Arena; events continue daily through Sunday at the fairgrounds and other locations around Estes Park. Festival field passes are $5 to $22, and admission to individual events such as seminars, banquets and concerts ranges from $10 to $35 each; for information and reservations call 1-800-90-ESTES.
September 5
Nicaragua at night: If you're taken by the urge to kick up your heels to a Latin beat, the Helander Dance Theater's Hearth to Hearth Project has your number this weekend and next: In the second year of its program series celebrating the cultures of Boulder's sister cities, the troupe will present Si! Jalapa Dances!, a colorful, skirts-flying confection of dance and puppet theater inspired by the people and sights of Jalapa, Nicaragua.

In addition, a related visual-art exhibit, Waterdance, hangs through October 4 at the Dairy Center for the Arts, 2590 Walnut St., Boulder; for gallery information call the number listed above.
Mo music: In an ambitious first for the United States, the Boulder Philharmonic's new Sinfonia of Colorado chamber ensemble debuts its Mozart Works for Everyone Series, a projected three-season string of concerts covering Mozart's entire fifty-piece catalogue of symphonic works, this weekend with premiere dates at the Boulder Theater (8 p.m. tonight, 2030 14th St., Boulder), Macky Auditorium (8 p.m. tomorrow, CU-Boulder campus) and Denver's Trinity United Methodist Church (7 p.m. Sunday, 1820 Broadway). For this program, guest soloist Martin Chalifour of the Los Angeles Philharmonic adds depth to the sweet strains of Mo's Violin Concerto No. 1; the composer's symphonies Nos. 1 and 41 will also be performed. Tickets range from $8 to $31 (series season tickets are available); call 449-1343.
Back in the saddle: Preserving Western folklore is a noble calling and a rip-roarin' fun one, too--which at least partially explains why some of us just mosey from one cowboy poetry gathering to another. If you're one of the faithful, you'll want to hitch up this weekend at the Morrison Cowboy Celebration, a festival of tall tales, crooning, yodeling and campfire philosophizing taking place today and tomorrow at the Morrison Town Hall, located on the Red Rocks-shadowed burg's main thoroughfare. Performers Bill Barwick, Liz Masterson and Sean Blackburn, Maggie Mae Sharp, Brenn Hill and Bob Dougherty entertain nightly at 7; a barbecue precedes the show tomorrow at 5 at the Blue Cow restaurant, also on Main St. Performance tickets are $11 and the barby costs $10; to make reservations for both, call 697-1873.
September 6
Touch me, heal me: Even Mother Earth needs a little help once in a while, and you can not only lend her a hand but soothe your own soul as well at the Heal the Earth Celebration, a two-day, new-agey benefit at Red Rocks to raise bucks for the Nature Conservancy of Colorado and the Boulder-based American Indian Science and Engineering Society. Airy headline sounds will be provided by Paul Winter, Peter Kater, R. Carlos Nakai and others, while nonprofit organizations man information booths and exhibits and Native American community elders perform prayer ceremonies, music and dance. The event runs from noon to 10 today and sunrise to 10 tomorrow; admission is $15 daily or $26 for both days ($5 parking fee excluded). To reserve tickets call 1-800-642-7124; for additional information call 620-9332 or visit www.healthearth.com.
September 7
Chai times: You don't have to be Jewish to enjoy the Jewish Community Festival, but if you happen to be of the faith, you'll find the fest--taking place today from 10 to 4 at the Robert E. Loup Jewish Community Center, 350 S. Dahlia St.--chock-full of information on where to pray, buy seder plates or order bar mitzvah invitations. And there will be plenty of music and dance, Bubbe-worthy home-cooking, arts and crafts, a children's area and a special free performance by Israeli rock group Esta--stuff that everyone can appreciate.

September 8
Puppet love: Throwing your voice is one of those fantasy skills that nearly everyone yearns for at some point in life, but not many folks actually learn to do it. Jeff Dunham, a self-taught Dallas ventriloquist who began researching his trade at the age of seven with a Mortimer Snerd doll , is one of the few, and he's made a very funny career out of it. Dunham brings his odd crew of inanimates--including a fast-talking jalapeno, something called a "woozle" and the worm in a tequila bottle--to the Comedy Works, 1226 15th St., tonight at 8; for tickets and information call 595-3637.
September 9
The best things in life are free: What's smaller than a concert, bigger than a book-signing and free as a naked jaybird? How about the Wal-Mart Country Music Across America performances, a traveling road show of revolving country stars that crisscrosses the country putting on short free concerts followed by in-store album-autographing sessions? In our area, the Kentucky Headhunters and Garth-wannabe Rodney Atkins do Golden's Wal-Mart, 952 Swede Gulch Rd., tonight at 7; all you have to do is be there.

Their hit parade: As songwriters, the sublime duo of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller did much more than write songs--they molded them, using humor, upbeat hooks and choruses and the help of great pop vocal ensembles such as the Coasters and Drifters to give the music its rich, unique shape. Smokey Joe's Cafe--The Songs of Leiber and Stoller, a Tony Award-nominated and Grammy Award-winning Broadway revue, makes the pair's unforgettable legacy over once again--this time turning it into a full-fledged song-and-dance stage show that weaves a whole jukebox of swell material into the mix.

Admission ranges from $15 to $46; call 893-4100 or 830-TIXS.

Great big, beautiful dolls: Ordinarily a cranny-filled step back in time, Denver-style, the historic Byers-Evans House --a nearly spooky landmark at 13th and Bannock streets--is all dolled up for business these days: Along with its usual perfectly restored rooms and period attractions, the museum is hosting the Lang Doll Collection through the end of October. One hundred exquisite antiques, including porcelain-cheeked babies, hand-painted French fashion plates, character dolls and more, will be on display during regular exhibit hours, 11 to 3 Tuesday through Saturday; museum admission ranges from $1.50 to $3 (Colorado Historical Society members free).

Border crossings: Stay at home in front of the boob tube today and you'll find yourself more than adequately culturally enriched.

(STATE COLLEGE, Pa.) — The Penn State Nittany Lions kicked off their first preseason practice on Monday. Penn State is picking up after the fall out of the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse case where the NCAA laid down sanctions, including a four-year bowl ban and also allowed current players to transfer to other schools.
Head coach Bill O'Brien is entering his first season with the team and understands the team's duties.
"We've got to understand our responsibility to the community, to children, to child abuse organizations. That's No. 1. These kids understand we're going to talk about that quite a bit. We're going to show what we mean by that," O'Brien said after Monday's practice. "At the same time … they're hard-working, good kids. They're going to class and I'm proud to be their head coach."
The team lost star running back Silas Redd to USC last week. Redd was one of nine players to transfer to other schools, but O'Brien believes the players who were on the field Monday morning will be staying put.
"I'm very confident that the guys out here today are committed," O'Brien said. "Again, it's day to day, but I'm confident in these guys. …They got up at 5:15 a.m. to practice."
As for the players who chose to go elsewhere, "I respect those guys. They made individual decisions," O'Brien said about the transfers. "But I think we've got to start focusing, like I said all along, on the kids that are here. … I think we're really good where we started today. We've just got to keep getting better every day."

Arts, humanities, architecture degrees have highest unemployment, study says
Recent college graduates with degrees in arts, humanities and architecture are experiencing higher rates of joblessness, according to a study.
Georgetown University researchers studied recent census data and found nationwide that recent grads with architecture degrees had the highest unemployment rate at 13.9 percent.
"Architecture is the victim of the latest economic collapse," said Anthony Carnevale, with the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. "Construction collapsed, housing markets collapsed. That's where architects work in main."
The study also identified recent grads finding the most success in the job market. Those with degrees in health, education agriculture and natural resources have the lowest levels of unemployment.
"Only three cents of every dollar you spend on food goes to farmers," Carnevale said. "Ninety-seven cents goes to agribusiness which is distribution, marketing, packaging and a whole series of transactions related to food."
In today's economy, many current students say it's crucial for college freshmen to consider the job market before deciding on a major.
"Most people are going to look for where there are opportunities," said Georgetown student Michael Thomson.
But others say first and foremost, students should pursue their passions.
"So long as you're happy at what you're doing, money isn't everything," said Georgetown staff member Barbara Dortch.
Carnevale agrees, but says he thinks students should know what they're getting into first.
"You're really talking about what you're going to do every day after breakfast for the next 45 years after you graduate," Carnevale said. "Don't just pick a major that will pay you money because that won't work out for you. But I think it is important to know what your prospects are. Only then can you figure out how you can do what you want to do."

The Montreal Canadiens face their
fifth elimination game of these Stanley Cup playoffs
on Wednesday night.
While the team's cap situation next season isn't exactly enviable, the Canadiens' surprising showing against the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins has made life easier for general manager Pierre Gauthier in one way: he doesn't have to debate which of goaltender he is going to keep.
Yes, St. Jaroslav Halak™ is the team's future in net, there can be little doubt, and Carey Price is its soon-to-be-forgotten past. Both Halak and Price are restricted free agents this summer, and Montreal can not afford both.
Halak had better numbers than Price in the regular season, and then settled the debate for good in the first two rounds of the playoffs.
But Price's rights will be a huge asset for Montreal heading into this year's draft. He is still just 23 years old, big, athletic and simply in need of a change of scenery. And Gauthier can use him to fill any number of holes in the Canadiens' lineup.
On top of that, his failure to establish himself as a sure thing will make him cheap to whoever steps up to buy him (think Ray Emery's pre-buyout contract in Ottawa, three years, $9-million).
Here are a few places it would make sense for Price to land:
Philadelphia Flyers
Why they need him: The Flyers have been looking for a star in net since, well, Ron Hextall. Ray Emery isn't coming back and Michael Leighton has not established himself as a permanent solution.
What they can offer: Size and skill up front. The Canadiens' top two lines have performed well beyond expectation in the playoffs, but they still lack a big forward who can draw the defence away from their small, agile forwards. James van Riemsdyk, the No. 2 pick in the 2007 draft, would make a lot of sense for both teams.
Tampa Bay Lightning
Why they need him: Mike Smith hasn't panned out as the No. 1 option former GM Brian Lawton thought he would be when he traded Brad Richards to Dallas two seasons back.
What they can offer: The No. 6 pick in this year's draft, plus maybe junior winger Carter Ashton, the best and, again, biggest winger in the Lightning's system.
Atlanta Thrashers
Why they need him: Ondrej Pavelec was rushed into regular action and exposed. His confidence is a question mark. New GM Rick Dudley has to make a splash on draft day to reinvigorate his withering fan base.
What they can offer: The No. 8 pick in the draft and perhaps disappointing sophomore Bryan Little. The Thrashers are loaded with young forward talent and could be the strongest contender outside Philly.
St. Louis Blues
Why they need him: Chris Mason has been superb for the Blues since coming over from Nashville, but he's 34 and won't have trouble finding work.
What they can offer: Alex Pietrangelo straight up? (John Davidson shakes his head angrily.) OK, OK. How about T.J. Oshie OR Patrik Berglund and 6-foot-1 centre prospect Lars Eller? (John Davidson thinks, nods slowly.)
New Jersey Devils
Why they need him: Martin Brodeur isn't going to be around forever. And it would be hard to find a better mentor.
What they can offer: Swedish centre Jacob Josefson, drafted 20th overall last year, and the rights to restricted free agent David Clarkson could do it.
