John Javorek, the man officials say shot himself at a Boulder halfway house on Monday after sheriff's deputies arrived there to take him to jail, is remembered by fiancée Ange Mardick as a kind soul who was loved by the customers of his Boulder auto repair shop, Fuji Motors.
Javorek, of Broomfield, was memorialized Saturday morning at a ceremony held at the Darrell Howe Mortuary in Lafayette. Mardick, who ran the front office at Javorek's Fuji Motors, 1900 55th St. in Boulder, and had been his fiancée for nearly five years, said his service was well attended by family, friends and Fuji customers.
"I have received so much support," Mardick said, noting she and Javorek referred to the shop's customers as members of the Fuji family. "The customers have been great, family has been great, and great friends. People cared so much. This man didn't realize how many people he had on his side."
Javorek, 39, died Monday after shooting himself at the Boulder Community Transition Center, 1770 21st St., officials say. Two Boulder County Sheriff's deputies had been sent to the halfway house, where Javorek was required to check in regularly as part of his probation in a driving while ability impaired case, to bring him to jail for an undisclosed probation violation, officials say.
When Javorek saw the deputies he pulled a gun, and eventually shot himself in the head.
Mardick, 27, was speaking to Javorek on his cell phone while police tried to get him to put down his gun. She said he never pointed the weapon at the deputies. She recalled he was remarkably calm during their conversation and repeatedly told her how much he loved her, asking her to help take care of the two young children from his previous marriage before he pulled the trigger.
Mardick said her fiancé had previously served two stints in the Boulder County Jail for what she deemed minor probation violations for his DWAI conviction, the second one lasting for one month. He had told her he would kill himself if he ever had to go back to jail, but she believed he wasn't serious at the time.
Mardick said she believes tough financial times at Fuji, stress related to his previous marriage and a serious health scare that Javorek experienced last year may have also contributed to his apparent suicide.
She said anyone who knew him would say he was a good man and not someone who belonged in jail.
"He just cared so much about everybody," she said. "He had the biggest heart ever."
John Argrow, who owns Fuji Motors' neighboring shop, John's Auto Care, said he first met Javorek more than 15 years ago when they were both taking mechanic's classes around Boulder. He said the two shared a philosophy of being honest and taking care of their customers.
Argrow said he never could have foreseen Javorek's life ending the way it did.
"I've never saw him seemingly upset or angry," Argrow said. "He always had a smile and just seemed like a really genuine guy. He really did. I was shocked."
Fuji Motors will be closed on Monday, but Mardick said she is talking to Javorek's friends about keeping the business open, going forward.

Posted on November 11, 2013
I was looking up prices on a book someone dropped off and was comparing the condition to the notes of the book dealers who had copies for sale online. Keeping in mind my recent discovery that the wild-eyed blogreaders love vocabulary, I thought about picking a few out to explain today, and then changed my mind. Some blogreaders think they know this stuff already, and would merely be bored.
So let's make a game of it. You pick out the proper definition and see how you fare. Winners will be allowed to come to the Book Fair free on Saturday come July.
a. A small child loved this book so much that it went along to bed and was cuddled more than the teddy bear
b. The edges have been worn so white spots are showing through the color of the cover
Webbing exposed:
a. The paper of the inner hinges has split, exposing a loose fabric like a net that reinforces it
b. A book about ducks with bare feet
Gift recognition
a. Somebody wrote "Merry Christmas, Hopalong, 1946" inside
b. Somebody unwrapped the package and cried "You gave me this book last year!"
Green cloth
a. The fabric you put on the floor to practice putting
b. The hardcover book has a green cover
Pages Proud
a. Several pieces of paper are loosening and standing out farther than the other pages
b. Princess Poppy liked their haircuts
Neat Owner's Name on Flyleaf
a. Honest, they wrote so small, you'd hardly notice
b. The previous owner dusted her books every day
Priced Low to Reflect
a. I put a low price on this so it could think about how it misbehaved
b. Consider yourself lucky: if it weren't for these marks on the cover I'd have charged triple
Top and Bottom Lightly Sunned
a. The color has faded at the edges of the spine
b. See my tan lines?
I've run out of space for scoring, but if you have a LOT of trouble figuring it out, let me know. We'll watch for you at the Book Fair and find you a nice, quiet seat under the drinking fountain.

The ArenaNet Blog has a post by Mike O'Brien discussing microtransactions in Guild Wars 2, their upcoming MMORPG. He explains: "We have a new player-driven market that allows players to trade gold for gems and gems for gold. If you want something, whether it's an in-game item or a microtransaction, you ultimately have two ways to get it: you can play to earn gold or you can use money to buy gems. We think that's important, because it lets more players participate on a level playing field, whether they use their free time or their disposable income to do it." In spite of how the original Guild Wars also used microtransactions, this is not going down well, as demonstrated by the 100+ pages of comments on the Guild Wars 2 Guru Forums on the topic.

Most of the time, Slate's Dahlia Lithwick covers the Supreme Court. She's been doing that for the last 13 years. But recently, you may have seen her name floating around in connection with the piece she recently wrote that she discusses with Scott Simon on Saturday's Weekend Edition.
In short, Lithwick posited that the world can be separated into what she calls Chaos Muppets and Order Muppets. Ernie versus Bert. Cookie Monster versus Kermit. Gonzo versus Sam the Eagle. As she said at Slate, it's the difference between those who are "a swirling maelstrom of food crumbs" and those who are "neurotic" and "sometimes resent the responsibility of the world weighing on their felt shoulders."
As she explains, she believes that this theory explains how to create successful workplaces, marriages and — yes — appellate courts. It even explains the behavior of world leaders. You have to get the right balance between Chaos and Order to make everything work, and the Muppets — er, people — have to be in the right roles.
Otherwise, things get entirely too chaotic. Or is it too orderly? At any rate, listening to her discuss Muppets with Scott Simon is just right.
So we ask you, as we must: What kind of Muppet are you?
It's only human nature to look for ways to explain ourselves to ourselves. Dahlia Lithwick, a senior editor and legal correspondent for Slate magazine, has introduced a new one - Muppet Theory: a Unified Theory of Muppet Types.
Dahlia Lithwick joins us. Thanks so much for being with us.
DAHLIA LITHWICK: Thank you so much for having me.
SIMON: And please tell us what Muppet theory is.
LITHWICK: Well, it has been long known in my marriage that the key to a good marriage is quickly identifying which of you is the order Muppet, in the manner of Bert...
ERIC JACOBSON: (As Bert) Oh hi, Ernie.
LITHWICK: ...or Kermit...
STEVE WHITMORE: (As Kermit) Hi, all.
LITHWICK: ...or Beaker.
WHITMORE: (As Beaker) Me, me, me, ma ma ma.
LITHWICK: And which of you is the chaos Muppet. That's the one who looks like Cookie Monster or Ernie. He's generally found in a cloud of cookie crumbs and little, flaming things.
DAVID RUDMAN: (as Cookie Monster) Cookies.
LITHWICK: And then once you know which of you is the chaos Muppet, and which of you is the order Muppet, it all sorts from there. You'll never argue again.
SIMON: Yeah. You've covered U.S. Supreme Court for many years and insist that this Muppet Theory, you know, has helped you see the court in a whole new way.
LITHWICK: It's true. Many years ago, I wrote an article saying that Justice Stephen Breyer was a lot like Grover, and that Justice Antonin Scalia was a lot like Oscar the Grouch; and that once you understood that, the whole - sort of dialectic between them is resolved. It's not about strict construction or textualism or activism. It's just about which Muppet you are.
SIMON: Can we get you to extend your Muppet vision to something like the European debt crisis?
LITHWICK: I can. Once you start thinking in terms of Muppet typology - really, everything is explained readily. For instance, earlier this week when there was an enormous public dustup about David Cameron inadvertently leaving his small child in a pub for some time, everybody else was trying to determine whether if that was right or wrong, and what it all meant. Now, I just thought to myself, chaos Muppet. That explains everything.
You can sort of see Merkel, for instance, in Germany as a classic order Muppet. And so you can really start to see all of Europe as an array of chaos Muppets doing battle with order Muppets, for control of the Muppet world.
Someone asked me today - again, it's important to realize I've covered the court for 13 years, and nobody has ever asked me anything interesting. But someone asked me today about biblical characters, and whether you could sort biblical characters into chaos and order Muppets. So that might be my follow-up piece.
SIMON: Dahlia Lithwick - senior Muppet correspondent for Slate magazine, who also covers the Supreme Court. Thanks so much for being with us.
LITHWICK: Thank you very much for having me.
SIMON: You certainly have made us see the world differently.
LITHWICK: I fear that that is true. I just - mahna mahna.
SIMON: This is NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Erle Bennett proved to be as good a prophet as he is a football coach. Bennett, head coach of the Do or Die West squad, suggested Thursday that mistakes would likely turn the tide in Friday night's all-star game at Porter Stadium in Hannibal. He was right.
Erle Bennett proved to be as good a prophet as he is a football coach. Bennett, head coach of the Do or Die West squad, suggested Thursday that mistakes would likely turn the tide in Friday night's all-star game at Porter Stadium in Hannibal. He was right.
With just seconds remaining, the West squad had the ball on the East 2, trailing 14-7. Just as it looked like overtime might be needed to decide the contest, a mishandled snap from center that was grabbed by the East's Nicholas Weiman, a graduate of Quincy-Notre Dame, proved to be the game-deciding mistake.
"We had several turnovers, which I figured we would, and several mental miscues," said Bennett, whose team lost three fumbles and had three pass interceptions.
Following a scoreless first quarter, a West miscue set up East's first score early in the second quarter.
On fourth down from its own 23, a high snap sailed over the punter's head. While the punter managed to beat the East rushers to the ball, he was tackled at the West 2.
East would take the lead on the very next play. The Illinois team's two-point conversion attempt failed.
West would have chances to tie the score later in the second quarter. One drive reached the East 18 before West fumbled the ball away. On the next drive West pushed to the 11 before surrendering the ball on downs.
An East miscue on its first possession of the second half gave West the ball at the East 19. On a fourth down play from the East 24, Dalton Powell of Hannibal threw a touchdown pass to Darrion Sanders of Keokuk, Iowa.
Caleb Bieniek split the uprights with the extra point, as he did so many times as kicker for the Hannibal Pirates, to put the West on top 7-6.
An interception on a tipped pass deep in East territory would set the stage for the Illinois squad's game-winning score.
Four plays after the turnover, Tanner Huddleston of Macomb threw a high, arching pass that Reggie Bratton of Jacksonville would haul in and then streak to the end zone.
The catch was a challenge for Bratton.
"The sun was in my eyes half the time and I just adjusted myself to the ball and caught it. After that I just used my speed to dominate," he said.
Bratton was confident no one would catch him after the ball landed in his hands.
"Once I get in full speed no one will catch me," said Bratton, who will run track in college and was playing his final football game.
"On the second score a kid just made a great throw and catch, and he (Bratton) is really, really fast," said Bennett. "We made way too many mistakes on offense. Defensively I thought we played really well."
Zachary Abney of Pittsfield/Griggsville-Perry ran in the two-point conversion to boost East's leads to 14-7.
Following a pass interception gave East the ball at its own 49 with 1:45 to play, it appeared that West might have had its last chance. However, an East fumble was scooped up by Austin Kinead of Centralia which gave the West team new life and the ball at the East 25.
Pass completions by Gabe Vandenberg of Keokuk to Sanders (12 yards) and Jesse Arnold of Centralia (11 yards) moved the ball to the East 2 with 48.5 seconds left.
That set the stage for the fumble recover by Weiman, who was selected the East team's defensive standout. The East's offensive most valuable player was Bratton.
The West team's MVPs were Sanders (offense) and Bobby Gruenloh of Palmyra (defense).
The experience was a memorable one for Bratton.
"We had great teammates. The coaches were funny and great. We only had four days of practice and we connected like that. We came out and got the win," he said.
And even though Bennett's team fell short, he too enjoyed himself.
"I had fun and really it was rewarding getting to meet all these young guys who are such great people," he said. "If you ever worry about the future of our country just come to one of these things. You'll figure out there really are a lot of good people that are going to be great adults leading our country."

Gundry also competed in the preliminaries of the women's 3-meter springboard event Thursday, placing 26th with a score of 237.30.
Saturday marked the end of the three-day meet in Knoxville, which saw 2012 Olympic medalists Abby Johnston and Nick McCrory return to collegiate competition for the first time since March of 2011. Johnston came in 26th in the preliminaries of the women's 1-meter springboard event with a score of 227.80 and McCrory qualified for the finals of the men's 1-meter competition, taking second overall at 319.75 points. McCrory also advanced to the finals of the 3-meter event, along with teammate Jordan Long. McCrory scored 370.70 points in the finals to earn a third-place finish, while Long placed ninth with a score of 333.30. In addition, both McCrory and Long surpassed the NCAA Zone Diving Championships qualifying mark on the 3-meter board with their performances.
"This meet marks the end of our winter training and the beginning of the second half of the year," said diving coach Drew Johansen. "We have three meets in a row as we move through January and everyone is set up for a great finish to the season."
The Duke swimming and diving program returns to action Saturday, Jan. 12 when it hosts South Carolina at Taishoff Aquatic Center at 11 a.m. The Blue Devils will honor the program's 17 seniors prior to the start of the meet.

Happy 90th birthday, grandma.
When my grandmother, Hazel Case, celebrates her 90th birthday this weekend, she will have surpassed the combined lifespan of both of her parents.
Hazel grew up the oldest of seven children on a farm east of Hardtner, Kansas. By the time she was 22 years old, she had lost both parents. As a 13 year old girl, she watched her mother, Cleta Mae (Yates) Myers die at 35 from cancer on the farmstead. After that she assumed her mother's role. By the time her father, Harry Myers, died of a heart attack at 45, she had already married my grandfather and was living in Alva, Oklahoma. She would also lose a younger brother, Forest, at 19 under suspicious circumstances.
We never know what kind of adversity we'll face in this life, but I do know one thing: my grandmother experienced her share of it. Her husband, my grandfather "Red" Case, died of cancer at 58 after an extended illness. He was a smoker and died that way. My grandmother told me that as a naïve young boy I tried to get him to quit several times. My grandmother never smoked and has consumed very little alcohol. She has educated herself about health eating and dietary practices. As late as last summer she worked daily in her yard. I suspect that her diet and her active lifestyle have contributed to her longevity.
90 years, even 100 years, is becoming more and more commonplace in the world today, but it's still worth celebrating. 90 years equals a lot of history, a lot of losses, a lot of both joy and sorrow, a lot of life.
Hazel is my remaining grandparent. I'm grateful that I live close enough that I can visit her regularly. Happy birthday, Grandma Case, and here's to more healthy years.

Neighboring subdivisions to Camelot in Camden County say their roads are fine
The Camden County Commission office was crowded on Tuesday morning when residents included in the proposed Camelot Special Road District but not Camelot residents showed up in full force to discuss the proposed formation of the district.
"I think the purpose of today, however is not to spend all day pointing fingers but to find out how to get the homeowners association and section 12 removed from that special road district," Bill Seib, president of View Point Homeowners Association said.
All three commissioners, Kris Franken, Bev Thomas and Cliff Luber welcomed ten residents from bordering developments to Camelot Tuesday morning. Those present represented developments including Tuscany, Trinity Point, the Shores of Camelot and View Point.
"None of us live in Camelot. We don't think we should be the ones paying for it. We think it should be the people living in Camelot or we should be invited into the story," Seib said. "Most of us feel like our roads are up to par or we have funds set a side to take care of our roads."
Most of the discussion revolved around the lack of advertising of the proposed district and the misrepresentation of the facts by the Camelot Homeowners Association. In minutes posted on Camelot's Homeowner Association's website, the idea of a special road district was discussed as early as Oct. 2012.
After receiving the 50 signatures needed to place the issue on the April ballot, a few members of the Camelot Homeowners Association presented the plan to the County Commission. A map was taken to the commission that included the Camelot Sewer District and areas immediately around it.
The other developments included in the special road district claim that they were not told of the ballot issue and when they asked questions at a public meeting, they were asked to leave. They also said that they were informed about a possible hike in real estate property tax but were not told of a tax on personal property which is included in the proposed issue.
The residents asked the commission what could be done.
"It's our job after the ballot is done," Presiding Commissioner Kris Franken said. "The easiest way to defeat this is at the ballot box."
Franken feels as if the commissioners' hands are tied until the election is over. If the ballot issue does not get voted in, then it is done. If it does get voted in, the commission agreed to step in and do what needs to be done to resolve this issue.
"We are going to be a part of the solution," Franken said.
"No question it was unethical," Commissioner Bev Thomas said.
The Camelot Special Road District will be on the ballot of the April 2 election.

"When people think of [assisting] the homeless, they think of donating food or clothing. They usually don't think about children and their need for a life, their need to be kids," said Brenda Pulaski, director of housing services for Catholic Charities.
So each year it is with great joy that Pulaski and her team at Hope House in Jersey City host a day with Santa during which the kids and their mothers receive gifts from the CarePoint Health Foundation. This year, CarePoint – the nonprofit charitable wing of Christ Hospital, Bayonne Medical Center, and Hoboken University Medical Center – donated $5,000 worth of gifts and goods to Hope House and the residents living there.
"I believe this is the third or fourth year that CarePoint has donated to Hope House," said Pulaski.
One of several housing programs run by Catholic Charities in Hudson County, Hope House, located downtown at 246 Second St., provides shelter to 20 families. The families who come to Hope House have often been evicted or have lost their living situation and have nowhere else to go.
"These are women and children who might have been evicted, or they may have living doubled up with friends or family and they can no longer stay there," Pulaski said. "They may have been living in a place that is unfit for human habitation. We're actually the only emergency shelter for women and children in Hudson County."
'We're actually the only emergency shelter for women and children.' – Brenda Pulaski
Once accepted into the program, the families can stay for 45 days, a term that can be extended as necessary, depending on the needs of the individual families. It's not unusual for clients to receive two additional 45-day extensions, after which Hope House might make a longer term commitment to women who are on the verge of obtaining permanent housing or a job.
The program also helps women land jobs, find job training opportunities, and locate child care.
Unfortunately, Pulaski said, "there is some recidivism here. A lot of people are just mired in overwhelming poverty and it affects almost every area of their living. Many employers don't give full-time employment now. So [the employees] don't get enough hours. They don't get health benefits. If they are working more than one job, then child care becomes a big issue. They also then don't have the time to take a course that could lead to a better job because they need the two jobs to have enough income to live. And of course we all know the cost of housing in the metropolitan area. It's the highest in the nation."
Most of the women who Pulaski works with receive housing assistance, either in the form of a Section 8 voucher or temporary rental assistance. Still, it's not unheard of for some former Hope House clients to fall behind in their rent and face homelessness again. A few even return to the Second Street shelter for another period of time.
Just regular kids
During Santa's visit last week with the children from Hope House, CarePoint donated food, house ware items, and other gifts – some of which will be used during the families' stay at the facility, some of which the women and children will take with them when they leave.
"We are happy to help those individuals who are less fortunate and it is our hope that this donation will help the mothers and children residing at Hope House have a little brighter holiday season this year," said CarePoint Heath Foundation President Dan Kane.
The hospital-aligned foundation isn't the only local organization that gets involved with Hope House and its mission, however.
"For me, one of the most heartwarming donations that we get is from a Girl Scout troop," said Pulaski. "We have a Girl Scout troop that every year donates Halloween costumes for the children living here. It's really touching because our children don't want to be different from other kids. They want to go out trick or treating and they need to do the same things their peers are out there doing, and that's living and just being kids…And that's why this visit with Santa Clause was so important as well."

The #HomePerformance Hashtag: Use It
If you're anything like me, you thought at one point that you could completely ignore hashtags (any word or phrase preceded by the # symbol). When they were introduced to Twitter in 2010, I remember thinking, Those aren't going to catch on. That's so confusing!
Don't worry; it's not the only trend I've been wrong about. (Honestly, what is the deal with juicing?)
Since Twitter's introduction of hashtags, they've seriously caught on—most recently showing up on Facebook's News Feed. Now Facebook allows you to search items based on trending hashtags that help identify topics that you're interested in. While the idea behind hashtags is a good one—grouping together like ideas from a number of sources—it's one that requires some level of commitment. The popularity of a particular hashtag relies on the number of people that know about it and that use it.
To use an example explained on a recent Energy Circle blog, some of the most popular hashtags for the home performance industry are #energy, #insulation, and #energyefficiency. So, if you want to post something to Facebook or Twitter that's about your business and you want other people who aren't directly linked to you (meaning they are your "friend" or "follower") to see it, you could use one of those hashtags so that your post gets picked up in a mass feed on those subjects. But this is where the commitment part comes in: you have to continually use hashtags to get noticed. Using the #energy hashtag once and showing up in a feed with thousands of others won't give you a huge boost in business. But if you're an expert in the field, you provide people with useful information, and you continually include #energy in your posts, then you've really got something.
As noted above, #homeperformance isn't one of the most popular hashtags in our industry, but the Energy Circle blog makes the point that it should be. Blog author Will says, "We believe that this hesitance is part of the reason for our industry's heretofore failure to break into the mainstream. If we can't even commit to using the term, how is the average homeowner supposed to hear about it?"
And I couldn't agree more. In fact, I think this is a big problem in the home performance industry. If we don't know how to brand ourselves, we'll never be a brand. If we're never a brand, we'll never make enough money to sustain the industry. (This reminds me of an article we ran in 2011, "Branding Our Industry—The Need for Consensus.")
So this is a request to all you home performance pros who use social media for your businesses: let's rally around the #homeperformance hashtag! Use it on Twitter, use it on Facebook, use it on Pinterest, use it on Instagram, use it in your marketing materials. The more we can get our industry's name out into the mainstream, the better.

'Reject unkindness,' Ledyard HS principal tells graduates
Ledyard — Rachael Miller advised her fellow Ledyard High School graduates Saturday to "leave no one in dispute about our values and what we stand for."
The graduates' lives may have become more complex since learning lessons from childhood stories, such as "The Little Engine that Could," said Miller, a Ledyard Scholar among the top 10 students in her class.
But like the evident truths of these tales, she encouraged members of the Class of 2013 to define their own values and set high standards.
"As we are launched into the next chapter of our lives, we need to ask: What do we want the moral of our lives to be?" she asked.
Speaker Patricia Webb, a paraprofessional and Braille specialist, looked upon the Class of 2013 eagerly awaiting their diplomas in shiny robes on the high school field and said their palpable excitement mirrored the emotions she saw on their faces during the first day of kindergarten.
"I am constantly impressed by the heart and soul this class possesses," said Webb, who has worked with graduate Michael J. Daggett since kindergarten and has watched the class grow over the past 13 years.
Webb advised them to be kind, generous with their talents and independent thinkers. And though they may never fully understand their impact on the world, she said she hopes they will never forget the fact that: "You matter."
In reflecting upon a quote from Mahatma Gandhi, Principal Amanda O. Fagan told the class to "reject unkindness" and connect to other human beings.
"Follow those waves of truth and love," she said, encouraging them to smile at strangers, listen to others and be themselves.
Class President Kelsey Lee Johnson recounted the graduates' contributions over their high school years, from reading to first-graders to wearing "over-the-top" outfits to school pep rallies.
"Whether or not you know it, you have been an inspiration to me and to each other," she said.
Qiuyin Ren, one of several Ledyard Scholars who spoke Saturday, encouraged the graduates to find hope as they embarked upon their future paths.
"Never give up on yourself and who you will become," she said.

At 1 and 10, the University of Colorado football team had nothing to play for but pride.
Considering it was the day after a holiday when many people ate and drank until they were incapacitated, and the fact that the Buffaloes have been embarrassed at home all season, there may not have been much reason for the fans to show up, either.
But the team did show up Friday -- along with more than 39,400 fans -- and played one of their most competitive games of the year, falling short in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. The Utah Utes beat the Buffs, 42-35.
Despite the dreadful 1-11 season, some fans donning black and gold at Folsom Field on Friday expressed hope.
"Nowhere to go but up," J. P. Elton said seconds after the game -- and season -- came to an end. "They played hard."
Elton and friend Ryan Stewart are CU alumni and have had season tickets for years.
"We're looking forward to next year," said Stewart, who noted many of the Buffs' young players are expected to improve next year. "We'll be back."
Bernice Moon has been a season-ticket holder for 33 years and has worked at the university for the past 24. She expressed faith the team will grow and improve next year.
Moon, of Longmont, said she was surprised and pleased by the level of fan support Friday. Even though the stands began to empty long before the end of the fourth quarter, the turnout was better than the 38,600 that came to last week's game against the Washington Huskies, thanks in part to about 4,000 free tickets.
Carrie Feldman, a 2005 CU grad, tailgated with about a dozen friends in a parking lot across from Folsom Field before Friday's game. Sporting a yellow foam hat in the shape of goal posts, Feldman said she believes Buffs fans are among the most loyal in college football.
"No matter how good the football team is, the fans always show up," said Feldman, who now lives in New York and was attending her first Buffs game of the 2012 season.
CU freshman Jensen Allen has been attending Buffs games since his brother was a student five years ago. He said he was impressed by the fan turnout when he scanned the stands in the first quarter.
"It's pretty good, especially with all the families," he said as he stood on the bleachers in the student section alongside his sister, Anneke. "I always like the Thanksgiving games. They're always fun. The atmosphere and the fans are really supportive."
The 2012 Buffs became the first team in school history to go winless at Folsom Field, and competitive or not, the outcome of Friday's game left many fans wondering how long until winning football returns to Boulder.
"It's frustrating," Pat Walseth, a 2005 CU alumnus, said after the game Friday. "It just feels like we're a snake-bitten team."
Walseth said he has been coming to Buffs games with his family for 20 years. While he doesn't plan to stop supporting the team any time soon, he wants to see changes, which he believes should start at the top with the university's president and chancellor.
"I feel like (the administration) doesn't give the program any support," Walseth said. "They don't realize this is an advertisement for the rest of the university."

Sarah Palin, God bless you. John McCain, get off your ass.
Physicians suspected when EMTALA was passed that it was a set-up for a government takeover of health care in America.
The sub-prime meltdown is EMTALA writ large on our economy and the answer, after the government forced banks to provide mortgages to people that would not otherwise have qualified (here for example or simply click below) is, genius move, to get the government more involved.
Since Obama has declared health care a 'right' let me explain to those of you outside of health care what will follow if it is given a firmer foundation than it already has in EMTALA.
1. Care will be rationed. It's just that simple, all the other consequences are obvious, but this is the most important one for you.
2. Physicians will quit, retire early, cut their hours, or otherwise opt out.
3. The rich will still get excellent care either legally or illegally, but it will be unavailable for ordinary folks (see #1).
With a 'right' comes a 'responsibility'. If health care is a 'right' then who is responsible for it?
For the last twenty five years the answer has been the taxpayer, physicians, hospitals, and insurance companies (and the system has nearly broken under it's weight). When the 'right to health care' is enshrined along with 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' then, and this is not a bad thing at all for doctors (in theory, all the care we deliver will be compensated but at rates set by the government), 'the rich' will pay for it, and, 'the rich' will be defined by your government. The magic number for being rich, depending on who you listen to, is either an aggregate income of $250,000, or, according to the conservative media, folks making more than $45,000 a year.
I will make more money, initially, with an Obama-like plan, and I will not work as hard. It is idiocy. For many of you who are fairly healthy it will be great. When you get really sick, however, you will wait. Depending on where you live you may wait till after you die because there will be no incentive for hospitals or physicians to see more patients or to expedite treatment. In fact, if tort reform is not enacted with Obama-care, it will be a really bad idea to see more patients than your banker's hours allow, and a disincentive to take on difficult cases.
Welcome to the world stood on it's head. See you in line for free food. Farmers and grocers, you're next.

Allison Vernerey led to another triple-digit day for No. 3 Duke.DURHAM, N.C. - Another career game for
Vernerey scored 20 of her career-high-tying 22 points in the first half of the Blue Devils' 100-31 rout of Iona on Sunday.
Chelsea Gray had 18 points and Elizabeth Williams added 16 in limited duty for Duke (2-0), which hit the 100-point mark for the first time since a 107-45 win over UNC Wilmington last December -- also the only other time Vernerey scored this many points.
Duke shot 48.7 percent in this one while holding Iona to 17 percent shooting and outscoring the Gaels 53-13 during the final 16 1/2 minutes of the first half to match its second-most lopsided victory under sixth-year coach Joanne P. McCallie.
"I think it's more a question of the rhythm of having my teammates hitting me in the right spot," Vernerey said. "When you start like that, people look for you more. I got some great passes, which made the finish easier."
Joy Adams had 10 rebounds for Iona (2-2). The Gaels didn't have a double-figure scorer, were held to two field goals during an early 11 1/2-minute stretch when it got out of hand, and fell to 0-13 against Atlantic Coast Conference opponents.
"They're really good, and we struggled with their length and athleticism," Iona coach Anthony Bozzella said. "Obviously, their goal's to be in the Final Four. Anything less than that would be an utter disappointment. Our goal is to just get better every day."
The Blue Devils had a 56-37 rebounding advantage and had 26 assists on their 37 field goals. Each of the eight scholarship players who played for Duke had at least five rebounds.
Tricia Liston scored 12 points and Haley Peters had 11 for Duke, the last Top 25 team to start its season.
The Blue Devils didn't get started until Saturday night, when they thumped Presbyterian 84-45, and the quick turnaround didn't seem to affect them at all -- since they claimed their most lopsided victory since an 89-point win over North Carolina Central in 2009.
They didn't need much from one of their stars. Williams, the ACC's reigning rookie and defensive player of the year, has been hampered by a stress fracture in her right leg since the NCAA tournament in March.
She played 18 minutes and didn't enter until the 11-minute mark of the first half -- when the Blue Devils already were up by 16.
"Happy with bold caps, maybe, to see her have some fun out there," McCallie said. "I thought she made her presence known in 18 minutes, which is a good thing."
Forward Richa Jackson (knee), guard Chloe Wells (leg) and forward Amber Henson (knee) sat out for Duke.
Those three could afford to rest and heal, because Vernerey and Gray essentially ended this one well before halftime.
Vernerey hit nine of her first 10 shots -- including eight in a row -- and needed only 5 minutes to reach double figures.
The 6-foot-5 lefty regularly took pretty feeds from Gray and turned them into layups in the post, making them with both hands while facing little resistance from the smaller Gaels.
"I was glad for Vernerey in a way, in that she's worked really hard and I've seen her ... she went left in the post, she went right in the post," Bozzella said. "And for them to be an elite team -- a Final Four-type team -- she's going to have to give them significant minutes."
Meanwhile, when she wasn't scoring, Gray put on quite a show with her passing -- connecting on behind-the-back and blind over-the-shoulder passes to Vernerey and Williams. Gray finished the first half with seven assists.
"She is the best passer, male or female, in this country," McCallie said.

Sole, Lemon – UK
Lemon Sole is a medium sized flatfish found along the northern European coast on coarse gravelly and rocky bottoms at depths ranging from 40 to 200 meters. They mature relatively quickly and live up to nine years.
Lemon Sole appear to be at medium levels of abundance, although information about population size is somewhat limited. In the United Kingdom, they are generally taken by beam and otter trawls as bycatch in mixed whitefish fisheries that target Cod, Haddock, and Whiting. Bottom trawls can damage the seafloor.

The Roberts Space Industries Website features a timer counting down the seconds to a point about 30 days hence, and The Starport makes the case that this countdown will culminate in the reveal of a new game from Chris Roberts, as this seems to belong to Cloud Imperium Games, which Roberts' LinkedIn Profile indicates is a new "skunk works company / project" recently launched by the Wing Commander developer. The site speculates this will be something new in the vein of the Wing Commander/Freelancer/Privateer space combat universe, and they have a teaser image to support this. A slight complication is the indication that at one point this timer was to hit zero today, so it's been reset somewhere along the way. Thanks Verno.

The swag will be controlled by the members of AO and although we want to have patches, shirts and jerseys (pending design) if ANYONE wants to take the ball and run on ANYTHING related, PM me and I will get you a spot in this Thread.

The Carthage High School girls swim team was a perfect 4-0 Tuesday in the Carthage Quad at the Fair Acres Family Y as the Tigers benefited from another record-breaking performance from sophomore Mercy Housh.
The Carthage High School girls swim team was a perfect 4-0 Tuesday in the Carthage Quad at the Fair Acres Family Y as the Tigers benefited from another record-breaking performance from sophomore Mercy Housh.
Housh, who set a new school record in the 200 freestyle last weekend, set a new school mark in the 500 freestyle in Tuesday, breaking the previous record of 5:35.8 set by Madison McKnight in 2006.
"Mercy swims year round and began the sport at a young age," Carthage head coach Braden McBride said. "Both of these factors, along with her strong work ethic, are contributing to her early success.
"I was very pleased with the girls' intensity," McBride said. "Coming off two meets this weekend I was concerned they may come out a little flat. It was a total team effort."
Carthage beat The Summit Prep Academy 130-6, beat Seymour 123-28, beat Parkview 121-42 and the Tigers topped Lamar 102-56.
Carthage finished second in the 200-yard medley relay, as Lacey Stephens, Shelby Hatcher, Lydia Youngworth and Abbie Kennedy combined to finish in 2:18.72.
Katie Watson won the 200-yard freestyle in 2:15.05, while Hatcher finished third, Kennedy finished fifth and Tasha Charles placed eighth.
Youngworth won the 200-yard IM with a time of 2:46.60. Taylor Herbst placed fourth in the event.
M'Lynne Wagner earned second in the 50-yard freestyle after finishing the race in 28.24. Stephens placed fourth in the event and Alyssa Rockers finished eighth.
Watson's time of 1:24.64 earned her first place in the 100-yard butterfly, and Herbst placed third.
Stephens and Taylor Hart finished first and second, respectively, in the 100-yard freestyle with times of 1:02.32 and 1:02.43. Charles finished seventh.
Housh won the 500-yard freestyle with a record-setting time of 5:35.00, Youngworth followed in second place and Cailin Dawley earned fifth.
Housh, Hart, Watson and Wagner teamed up to win the 200-yard freestyle relay with a time of 1:54.24. Alyssa Rockers, Kennedy, Dawley and Herbst teamed up to place fifth in the relay.
Wagner and Hart placed second and third, respectively, in the 100-yard backstroke with times of 1:18.54 and 1:19.51. Rockers placed sixth.
In the 100-yard breaststroke it was Housh with the win after she posted a time of 1:17.18. Hatcher took third and Dawley took ninth.
Housh, Youngworth, Watson and Hatcher teamed up to win the 400-yard freestyle relay in 4:22.85, and Wagner, Stephens, Hart and Kennedy finished in second place.
Carthage will host the Iron Woman Pentathlon on Monday, Dec. 17 at 3 p.m. at the YMCA.

For the whole year 2012 that Fashion PULIS has been dishing out blind items (BI), many readers' reactions are as varied as their persona, getting affected by the stories in so many different ways. A great majority looks forward to every BI and waits till clock hits 12:05am to read it, after which they call it a night. Many treat every BI as source of fun and entertainment. Most get addicted, still others, well -- it is therapy.
And believe it or not, so many tell me and email me that among gathering of friends or even in their respective offices, during coffee and lunch breaks, Fashion PULIS BI's are very much present, and become their source of funny guessing games.
Others, especially some celebrities get bothered if they feel it is them being alluded to in the story. Same way with showbiz fans if their idol/s becomes the BI subject. But for the most part, FP readers are only curious as they take a peek at the lives of celebrities who in their eyes are larger than life.
For this reason, let us have some more fun before we bid our fabulous 2012 goodbye. Let us reminisce the TOP 12 BIs (please click on the title) we have featured for the year:
- Did Mom Know Best?
- Don't Get on My Nerves
- The Endorser's Secret
- Showing a Little More Respect!
- Young Performer Short-Changed by Management
- Her Wish Should be Granted
- Lack of Popularity
- Mom Knows Best
- Waiting for Better Man
- Did She Give It to Him
- Self-destructing 101 - Stubbornness and Conceit
- The Grouchy Smile

The last place to be in China during the Summer Olympics is Beijing, the political, educational and cultural centre of 1.3 billion people.
The greatest show on earth is China's coming-out party, and hundreds of thousands of visitors will fill 30 Olympic venues and boost Beijing's already seething population of 17.5 million.
Some estimate the cost of hosting the 29th Olympiad will be $40 billion, making it the most expensive Games to date.
There will be another time to take in the sights of Tiananmen Square, visit the Forbidden City, enjoy The Great Wall and try some exotic restaurants, one of which now has donkey and seal penis on the menu. But not now.
Recently, I asked some well-travelled Chinese-Canadian friends where they would go if they were travelling in China.
They did some hard thinking. After all, China is a land of stunning mountain vistas and surging rivers and has a history perhaps beyond compare.
Archeological evidence suggests the earliest humans in China date from 2.24 million to 250,000 years ago. But its history is told only in terms of the last 6,000 years, which still makes it one of the world's oldest surviving civilizations.
Emperors built fortresses, palaces and places of worship, while more recently, relatively speaking, their scientists invented paper, the compass, gunpowder and printing.
The Old Town of Lijiang, in Yunnan Province and bordering Tibet, was where my friends suggested I begin.
The town, a maze of cobbled streets, rattletrap old wooden buildings, canal bridges and a humming marketplace, dates back more than 800 years and is a UNESCO Heritage Site.
Lijiang, once a confluence for the trade along the old tea horse road, is separated into an old and new town. It's worth finding a hotel in the old town.
The streets bend back on one another, and don't go wandering if you have a train or plane to catch. You will certainly lose your way amid every type of shop imaginable. Leather goods, art, designer clothing and ancient embroidery to take home and frame, are all to be found amid the funky coffee shops and restaurants. But bargain hard.
If you notice women seem to be running the show here, they are the matriarch Naxi, a minority race descended from Tibetan nomads. There are many examples of their homes.
We hired a car and guide for the day in Lijiang and drove along the Jinsha River (known lower down as the Yangtze River) to Tiger Leaping Gorge.
Through what is one of the world's deepest gorges, between the Haba Mountains and the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the river surges for 16 kilometres.
The adventurous hike for four days along a trail near the top of the 3,900-metre-high mountains. But we walked along a recently completed, five-kilometre, paved trail to the main rapids.
Next on our tour was the Three Gorges sail on the Yangtze River and our point of embarkation was Chongqing.
The 6,300-kilometre long Yangtze rises in the Himalayas and, fed by many tributaries, makes its way to the East China Sea north of Shanghai.
The river sculpted the legendary gorges over many thousands of years and visitors tilt their necks upwards to marvel at sheer rock walls, forests stretching up to the heavens and occasionally wildlife, such as a small black bear.
The 200-kilometre gorges trip to Yichang can be made in a hydrofoil in about 11 hours. But luxury cruise ships and slower passenger boats visit historic sites and allow time for shopping and a side trips, in four days and three nights.
We travelled in a Chinese boat with an English-speaking crew and thoroughly enjoyed the Chinese food and entertainment. We were less awed by the scenery.
After all, Canada has the Rockies, Niagara Falls and second-to-none coastlines.
We did pass through the locks at the controversial mammoth Three Gorges Dam, and marvelled at its scope.
Due to be completed in 2009, it will back up the river for 550 kilometres, covering countless cultural artifacts and cause the relocation of some two million people.
The dam's hydroelectric production will lessen China's dependency on coal and other fossil fuels and improve transportation links.
But environmentalists are concerned that as the river slows, it will lose its ability to oxygenate and waste from towns and factories will lead to more silt deposits.
The result, they say, could be a gigantic septic "toilet." Endangered dolphins, sturgeon and cranes could be affected. Also, it was kept as a state secret when two dams collapsed in Henan province in 1975, with a loss of some 230,000 lives. Should the Three Gorges Dam fail, it's thought the population of Yichang would be dead within an hour.
Zhangjiajie, in Hunan's Wulingyuan Scenic Area, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, was our next stop.
This is one of the best places to view the world's largest karst landforms.
Some 600,000 square kilometres of karst stretches over eastern Yunnan and most of Guizhou, with extension into parts of Chongqing, Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei and Guangdong.
Karst is largely shaped over thousands of years by the dissolving action of water on carbonate bedrock.
As well as mountainous shafts, the geological process creates sinkholes, disappearing streams and complex underground drainage systems and caves. Mountains of karst have long been the favourite subjects of many painters who loved the trees, flora and fauna growing on their vertical shafts.
Shanghai, regarded today as the showpiece of the world's fastest-growing economy, was our final port of call.
Once a fishing and textile town, it grew to importance in the 19th century due to its favourable port location and flourished as a centre of commerce between east and west. Prosperity ground to a halt with the Communist takeover in 1949.
But allowed economic reforms in 1990, it is now the world's largest port.
Its population of 20 million shop in western-styled stores; sometimes choose fast food over great Asian food and walk among a rich collection of buildings and structures.
We didn't count them, but we were told Shanghai now has more skyscrapers than New York.
The historic Bund, located by the bank of the Huangpu River and an energetic shopping area, is the best place to grab a photo of Shanghai's tallest buildings.
The tree-lined French Concession is a good place to stroll while looking for dinner, while the stunning Shanghai Museum, tracing four millennia of Chinese history, requires a full day's attention.
We took an overnight sleeper back to Beijing. The station was mobbed. I was pleased the Games crowd hadn't yet arrived.

That garbage truck is taking away much of my ex-stuff.
I brought my Tempurpedic travel mattress to Paris. I think it froze enroute. Never mind..a bit of New York in Paris.
I've done things like this and it's scary and exhausting especially lugging cases.
I'm so pleased that you have decided to take the plunge. Life is for living.
Bon courage!
Big merci Susan

Deep deep admiration for you!
Holy cow..I can't see myself driving downtown..and you have crossed the universe.
Different culture..language..new home(looks really nice w/ that big window.).I NEED light in a home..
Bravo Mademoiselle.Tu m'épates.

Congrats on taking the plunge, Carol!! And that luggage!! I arrive in Paris in two weeks for ten days of ma vie a faire semblant en Paris, something I do a couple of times a year. What a wonderful adventure to live there full-time... xx KatieReplyDelete
Brava Carol! Wonderful news you've made the plunge. So do we get to hear about the chocolate at salon du livre culinaire :) Cara www.parisisformurder.comReplyDelete
As I sit here on a frosty morning in the boonies drinking my morning coffee, I just had to stop and say how much I'm enjoying your website. I take a little trip away from the mundane everytime I stop by here! I'm looking forward to all your revelations and discoveries as you settle in. How exciting to grab life like this!ReplyDelete
Congratulations on the move! Envy!
When I was in Paris last May I think I caught your Russian musicians on video...they were fantastic and the tunnels gave wonderful acoustics. In my two weeks there one of my favorite things was riding the Metro and finding new music.
(I am not a skilled video person and this was a first attempt with my iPhone.) I had to immediately go watch it this morning and once again I wish I was there...
Fabulous--it makes me smile to see you in your element, Carol. Way to go! Soak it all up like the sponge you are...xoReplyDelete

Oh, yay!! You're there! I'm so happy for you.
I've been following you for years and would love to know what you've decided to do. Obviously you will be living in Paris now. For a trial, semi-permanent, forever? Did you find a furnished apartment? I lived there a decade ago for two years and miss Paris so much. You've given me the ability (vicariously) to go back with you. Why did I not take many pictures when I lived there?! So happy for you.
Bonne chance!!
Oh how exciting! The picture of your luggage made me laugh. They were stacked like many of the macarons you paint. I'm happy to see that you had help! Congratulations :)ReplyDelete
Whoops Jen!
That is a sculpture in CDG not mine though mine was pretty bad considering I usually take just a matchbox full of stuff...
I did think for a second that was your baggage at CDG - but no, your stuff has been spirited away by the garbage truck and you are light and free as a bird and the bravest of women! Well done, I'm so full of admiration and wish you the very BEST xxxReplyDelete
... major congrats .. may you enjoy every minute, however long it may be ...ReplyDelete
Thank you for your comment on my blog Carolg! When I grow up I want to be the person who changes all the posters in the Paris Metro! Let me know if there are any openings.ReplyDelete
And I was thinking what backbreaking work! Still my dream is to write the menus in chalk on the ardoises in Paris.
Go figure ;))
I thought my years installing art bulletin boards in my classroom gave me great qualifications for the Metro job. You, with your excellent skill at watercolor, will rock the ardoises! (I only know the word ardoises because on the recommendation of Paris Breakfasts Blog we visited Le Bon Bon au Palais and when it came time to translate the 1951 rules of what is forbidden to students that Georges has framed by his door we really puzzled over the word. Please remember not to erase your mistakes by spitting or licking the ardoise!!Delete
A tempurpedic travel mattress? That sounds like a must have! Love that oriental rug beneath it, too!ReplyDelete
I've been sleeping on one for ages on the floor.
Great for my back so I thought why not bring it to Paris?
Oh you lucky woman!!! I could not be any happier for you. It is as though all is right in the world to find you in Paris with no return flight! I eagerly await your stories on becoming one with the city. xoReplyDelete

Do you know David Lebovitz the American chef living in Paris? I follow his blog, and he seems like he might be a good friend to have in Paris! JacklynReplyDelete
