REVIEW: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood – OVA Collection (Blu-ray)

The wildly fun OVAs from BLACK… -

Broncos negotiating with seven draft picks, near deals with Wolfe, Osweiler
16 May 2012 | 2:06 pmThe Broncos will soon join the parade of NFL teams who have been signing their draft picks. There really is no mystery with the contracts the seven drafted Broncos will receive.

The difference is a $15,000 increase in the minimum rookie salary from $375,000 to $390,000. So give or take $15,000, a player can figure out the contract he will receive by looking at the player taken in his draft slot for last year. For instance, the Broncos’ top… -

Elway Couldn’t Pass On Manning’s Heir Apparent
16 May 2012 | 12:56 amENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) – John Elway says he just couldn’t pass on Peyton Manning‘s heir apparent, even though he hopes Brock Osweiler will be holding a clipboard for years to come. Elway said he had to “sacrifice the short-term for the long-term” when he used a second-round pick last month on the Arizona State quarterback rather than drafting a player who could help Manning right away. The boss of the Denver Broncos was joined by coach John Fox in an hour-long conference call with 6,000 season ticket holders Tuesday, and one caller from suburban Broomfield asked… -

He’s the Broncos’ newest tight end after playing for the Houston Texans since 2007. “I definitely grew up a Broncos fan but I was employed by other NFL teams,” Dreessen said. “It’s definitely a blessing to come back home and I’m looking forward to the opportunity.” Dreessen had made many trips to Denver from Fort Morgan to see the Broncos play as a youngster. “My favorite… -
Gruden Huddles Up With Lynch And Talks Broncos In Denver
15 May 2012 | 12:55 amDENVER (CBS4) – The John Lynch Foundation has generated nearly $500,000 in scholarships for local students, and every year Lynch treats them to a special luncheon at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. This year Lynch brought along an old friend — his former head coach, John Gruden. Gruden and Lynch won a Super Bowl together in Tampa. Two years later Lynch went from the Bucs to the Broncos. “The guy fired me,” Lynch laughed. “But we’re still great friends. I let him know that every time he’s here, so maybe that’s why he did it.” Gruden… -
Broncos Rookie CB Bolden Full Go After ACL Tear
14 May 2012 | 8:32 amENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) – Denver Broncos rookie Omar Bolden considers himself a budding cornerback and CEO. To think, an injury on the field led him to become an inspirational entrepreneur off it. Bolden tore the ACL in his left knee during spring practice at Arizona State in 2011. There went another season. Usually such an affable and upbeat person, Bolden slipped into a funk over the prospect of sitting out again. Soon, those feelings turned into a vision as he hit on an idea: What can he do to brighten someone’s day? Like that, he created a “Positive Living” movement.

Obama, Romney surrogates debate
10 May 2012 | 11:32 amWASHINGTON — Simmering beneath the presidential season’s familiar refrains of support for Israel is a passionate partisan argument over how best to confront Iran and deal with the new Middle East. The Jewish election debate season was launched informally on May 4 at the annual American Jewish Committee global forum when longtime US Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) and Weekly Standard editor William Kristol made the case for their preferred presidential candidates. Kristol vs. Frank was lively, friendly and covered familiar territory about the Jewish tendency to vote Democrat and the commitment… -
When art imitates life
10 May 2012 | 11:30 amNEW YORK — As moviegoers over the weekend flocked to see Marvel’s new superhero ensemble, they would understandably associate the idea of Nazi-fighting avengers with Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and Black Widow. But, in fact, there was also a real-life band of Jewish freedom fighters with the same name who were bent on sticking it to Hitler’s henchmen. Let’s start with the new film. Without giving away anything, let’s just say it goes there. And, of course, Captain America was launched in 1941 with the iconic image of Captain America punching Hitler right in the face,… -
Circumcision funding killed
10 May 2012 | 11:25 amA COMBINATION of fiscal conservatives, health professionals, and “intactivists” (people who oppose circumcision of newborn males for a variety of reasons) convinced the Colorado House Appropriations Committee last week to kill a bill that would have restored state Medicaid funding for circumcisions. The bill failed in the committee on May 4 by a vote of eight to four, putting an end to the move to restore funding for this year’s legislative session, which ended Wednesday, May 9, and likely for the foreseeable future, since its co-sponsor, ?Senator Joyce Foster (D-Denver), is now retired… -

Matt Prater skips voluntary workouts
15 May 2012 | 3:36 pmPrater kicked four game-winning field goals for the Broncos in 2011. (Doug Pensinger/Getty Images) Denver Broncos kicker Matt Prater is not participating in the team’s voluntary offseason workouts, Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports. Prater, who was designated with the Broncos’ franchise tag, has yet to sign his one-year, $2.5 million tender. The Broncos offered Prater a five-year deal before the free agency period began, Klis reports, but the dollar amounts were “well short” of what Prater and his agent were expecting.

The bright light at the end of the tunnel is the uncovered, newest section of the terminal. The second photo was taken of the… -

Glassboard 2.0

(Hence “board” in the name. “Glass” refers to your phone’s screen.) This is the first explanation of the name that I’ve seen. The name always struck me as invoking exactly the wrong mental connections (glass = open, where GlassBoard’s major selling point = privacy). The new app UI seems quite nice from my initial exploration – very Path/Facebook/Sparrow-inspired. Disclaimer:… -

Brewery of the Month at Mellow Mushroom
26 Apr 2012 | 12:25 pmI believe the term refreshment was born on warm day, uttered from the lips of a man who just gulped the first swig of a cold pint of beer. The carbonation swelled and burst, like music in perfect timing with the hops, a percussive symphony on his taste-buds and he thought, perfect. He searched for a word, a measure of his overwhelming joy. He felt reborn, but in the sensory respect. The word, like poetry unraveled from his mouth: refreshment. This was the day man first loved beer, at least, that’s how I picture the definition forming. The truth is that the term refreshment came… -
No tears here… DIA to Downtown light rail construction underway
23 Feb 2012 | 8:04 pmThe headline to this story to all wrong. Construction has begun on the new DIA light rail station. If the CBS Story “DIA Construction Will Cause Parking Problems For Years” sounds like a cynical headline to you then consider yourself an urban optimist. Sure, car commuters are going to be inconvenienced with some traffic pains for the next few years. The goal isn’t to make the car travelers happy anyway. It’s to provide car free travel from the heart of Denver to Denver International Airport. These years of construction will contribute to what I consider a HUGE asset… -

Walkability of Denver
15 Feb 2012 | 5:12 pmI love walking. I love biking. I love trains and light rail. I hate driving. So I was pleased as heck to see the New York Times Article “Denver is urged to hit the sidewalk“. Can a walkable city be designed from the ground up? I prefer to think it can be encouraged through urban planning and, more importantly, making it painful to park and drive. I would rather see funds directed to public transportation, but that’s just my perspective. And please don’t get me started on our lame attempts to provide transportation relief to the mountains. Guess what folks,… -

BCBR: 'Biotechs abuzz over high court rulings'
16 May 2012 | 11:52 amQuoting from the May 15th article by Beth Potter: "In the high-stakes world of drug research, local biotechnology companies are asking how recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings on drug patent issues may affect them in the future...

10 May 2012 | 12:25 pmLast year, CU-Boulder was crowned #1 Top Party School in America for 2011, despite the school’s administrative efforts to tone down the party-school label. Surprisingly, CU-Boulder has done an excellent job at toning down that image over the past few years. Welp, that’s shot to sh*t. A video released yesterday by a company called I’m Schmacked shows CU-Boulder students partying like there is no tomorrow. America,I guess there is no denying the elevation. CU-Boulder remains the ultimate Rocky Mountain high. -

The Odds aren’t good!
16 May 2012 | 1:29 pmThe odds aren’t good. Simply put waiting for an NBA player to make a free throw is a bit like waiting for the Cubs to win the World Series. It just ain’t gonna happen. At least in our lifetimes. It reminds me of one of my favorite stories. Legendary basketball coach Don Haskins, all 250 plus pounds of him, had a player who apparently thought a bit highly of himself and didn’t find his deficiency at the free throw line to be that big of a deal. Haskins challenged him to a free throw contest and let the kid go first. The kid hit a couple out of 10 or so and proudly handed old… -

My baby graduates from high school tonight. What a long strange trip it’s been. From magnet to home-schooling to charter school to online high school to one neighborhood school and finally to this last one – South High – my kid has experienced all the educational opportunities the first decade of the century has to offer. In 1996 the magnet movement was in full swing. As I understand it, magnets were designed to lure…
