Theatre investigation related to thefts
The theater reported a printer, cash, coins and checks stolen on June 18, 2007, but additional equipment was also discovered missing, Friends of the Children's Theatre board member Dan Conway said Friday. "We've had some very expensive equipment that has been lost or stolen," board member Ken Freiberg said. "It was a big, huge surprise." Conway, however, said he didn't think the equipment was that expensive. Friends Treasurer Justine Franklin and board President Paula Collins said they knew of only the one burglary last summer. The Friends, a support organization founded in 1970, did buy the theater group a digital camera to replace one that was stolen, Franklin said. The burglary was notable for two reasons, board member Szonja Szelenyi said.
Softball's best of the west
While we strive for those results, that's not the reason why this project was taken on. Instead, it was to solve an issue that has been a burr in the britches of most who follow, coach and play high school sports on the Western Slope way beyond the 13 years I've been on the scene.
I, along with those folks, have wondered - loudly at times - why it seems athletes who live on this side of the Continental Divide get overlooked when it comes to earning all-state recognition?
For those of you who've read to this point I'm sure you agree.
I, like you, anxiously wait to see who from the Western Slope earns a spot on each of the All-Colorado prep sports teams produced by Rocky Preps and the Denver Post.
Likewise, after reading the results, I've come away scratching my head.
Gadgets Microsoft Insider: Xbox 360 Team Knowingly Launched Faulty ...
During the previous generation, Microsoft attributed much of PlayStation 2's lead over the Xbox to its earlier arrival on the market. Microsoft was determined to beat Sony to the punch for the next generation, as the source explained, "MS was so focused on beating Sony this cycle that the 360 was rushed to market when all indications were that it had serious flaws. The design [quality] testing was insufficient and incomplete when the product was released to production. The manufacturing test equipment had major gaps in test coverage and wasn't reliable or repeatable. Manufacturing processes at [all] levels of suppliers were immature and not in control. Initial end to end yields were in the mid 30%. Low yields always indicate serious design and manufacturing defects. "Management chose to continue to ship anyways, and keep the lines running while trying to solve problems and bring the yields up.
Chad Demands Sudanese Refugees Moved
We want the international community to look for another country so that the Sudanese can leave. If they cannot do it, we are going to do it." Chad has threatened previously to expel the Darfur refugees, who have fled five years of fighting between the region's ethnic African rebel groups and Sudan's Arab-dominated government. After attacks by Chadian rebels in April 2006, President Idriss Deby said he would force them back into Sudan if the international community did not take action to prevent Sudan from destabilizing his country. Deby backed down a few days later under intense international pressure. Over the weekend, about 12,000 more Darfur people fled across the border into eastern Chad after air strikes by the Sudanese military on several towns.
Across the Universe: 2-Disc Deluxe Edition (2008)
As a delivery system for injecting a new generation with Beatles music, Across the Universe is efficient as well as playful and ferocious much like the Fab Four themselves. The movie is almost an opera: plot primarily conveyed through song. And while Universe's thin 1960s-era romance never achieves the emotional complexity of even so ''simple'' a song as ''All My Loving,'' the film sure knows how to present that melody with an energy and visual invention that make you adore the tune all the more. We TV fans already knew that Universe's female lead, Evan Rachel Wood, had a beautiful voice from the few times she sang on the ABC series Once and Again. The rest of the lesser-known cast, meanwhile particularly Wood's romantic interest, played by Jim Sturgess have expressive instruments that only occasionally succumb to the Broadway-style belting that characterizes so many movie musicals.
