University Of Denver

USC has reached an unusual agreement with the University of Denver in which USC will transfer control of an international off-campus master's degree program involving 1,800 students to the Colorado institution. If negotiations over the details can be worked out, the University of Denver will take over USC's master of science in systems management program, now offered at 56 locations around the world.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. - The University of Colorado-Denver stood firm Friday in saying it never barred James E. Holmes from campus, despite newly released court documents that indicate the suspect in the Aurora movie massacre had his student ID card deactivated after he alarmed a school psychiatrist. Dr. Lynne Fenton told campus police officer Lynn Whitten on June 12 - more than a month before the July 20 rampage that killed 12 and injured 70 - that Holmes had "homicidal thoughts" and might be a danger to the public.

Holly Falkenhagen of Trabuco Hills signed a letter of intent to play volleyball at Baylor, Trabuco Hills girls' volleyball Coach Gregg Swenson said.

Wilson also was first-team all-league.

DENVER — In the hours after the Aurora, Colo., movie massacre on July 20, faculty and classmates at suspected gunman James E. Holmes' university were horrified to realize he had once been among them. More than 1,500 emails to and from Holmes were made public Wednesday. The emails — released by the University of Colorado-Denver, where he had been a neuroscience doctoral student — were from Holmes' two university email accounts. An additional 2,300 internal university staff emails surrounding Holmes' alleged attack also were released.

During a lull between hailstorms and lightning strikes earlier this month, Patrick Meyer pushed back the hood of his parka and marveled at what will soon be the world's highest operating astronomical observatory. Over the past 25 years, the contractor and amateur astronomer has built million-dollar chalets and remote-controlled airplanes, and all the knowledge garnered from those experiences has gone into the project he calls "the greatest accomplishment of my life."

The human appetite is a fickle thing. It may come on strong if you walk by a hot dog stand but disappear if you spend too much time thinking about the ingredients. Comfort eaters may feel ravenous at the end of a bad day. And people who are bored with what they're eating may feel full (or at least fed up) after just a few bites. At a time when so many people are struggling with their weight, appetite has become a hot topic. Researchers work to understand its ebb and flow, and dieters look for ways to dial it back.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. - The first glimpse of a once-promising career beginning to unravel emerged Thursday during a hearing in the case against James E. Holmes, accused of killing 12 and injuring 58 in a packed movie theater last month. Assistant Dist. Atty. Karen Pearson revealed that 24-year-old Holmes, once a doctoral student in an elite neuroscience program at the University of Colorado Denver, had failed oral exams on June 7, made unspecified threats serious enough for campus police to be notified, and had his access to university buildings on the Anschutz Medical Campus revoked.

Carolyn Baber had been married to Daniel Baber for 16 years when she decided to walk away from the relationship in 1997. Unhappy for several years over her husband's growing criticism of her, she had asked, even pleaded, with him to see a marriage counselor. He refused, saying he was too busy, expressing his view of therapy with a litany of expletives. She tried again and again, amplifying his withdrawal and rejection. Finally his refusals became the marriage's death decree.

In HER 39 years, Claudia Hallblom has, by her own estimation, lost and regained about 1,000 pounds. Her success at losing weight was always driven by a goal, such as looking nice for her graduation or wedding. Her tactics usually included strict calorie-counting. But success on the scales was always fleeting. Sooner or later, she would revert to her old habits and no longer feel motivated to change. "I didn't know how to lose weight and keep it off," the Downey woman says.
