|David Plati
Welcome to a notes and comment column in its 13th year, penned by CU Associate Athletic Director David Plati, who is wrapping up his 28th year as the Buffaloes' director of sports information.
Plati-'Tudes No. 95 ... A shout out to two great number 95s in Buff annals, defensive tackles Curt Koch ('87) and Garry Howe ('90) ... Koch had a monster junior year with 76 tackles, 21 for losses including 10 quarterback sacks, but he was the victim (along with linebacker Don DeLuzio) of a hit-and-run accident on South Padre Island on spring break prior to his senior year and never was the same after suffering multiple injuries ... And most might not realize (or remember) that Howe was third on the team in tackles in 1990 with 96, led the team in tackles for loss (22) and was second to Alfred Williams with 10 sacks ... The 2012 University of Colorado Athletic Hall of Fame class has been selected; the newest inductees will be revealed on July 12 at the 18th Annual Count Casotti Classic by athletic director Mike Bohn at his media roundtable following the golf; it is quite an impressive class that numbers a dozen in all ... Many of you know I suffered some complications after minor surgery in May; things are returning to normal, and it jump started me on some weight loss (40-plus pounds in five weeks). Want to drop a few in a hurry? Consume this meal three times a day for a week: two cups of Veggie Broth, a Popsicle or an Italian Ice, a small snack pack size Jell-O, and an 8-ounce Ginger Ale or Sierra Mist. I was disturbed once when I woke up to find Harrison Ford stealing my so-called meal (okay, that's a Fugitive joke for those who just said, "Huh?").
Trivia Questions
The opening four mind teasers:
CU—What CU coach has the winningest percentage in postseason history (all sports)?
Who Am I?—Like many, I lettered in three sports in high school but actually went on to letter in two at CU. Many say I performed the gutsiest play in Buff football history. In my other sport, I led the nation in a very popular category. As a professional, I spent one season with the team that drafted me and was traded for a country music star's father. I wore jersey number 16 for my first two years with my new club before swapping with a teammate to get number 12 which I wore in both sports at CU. Who am I?
Music—How is the classic song Layla connected to the Blues Brothers?
Name That Tune—From what song is this lyric passage from: "I see you every morning ... Outside the restaurants ... The music plays ... So nonchalant."
Quick Hits
Colorado finished 57th in the final Learfield Director's Cup Standings; the Buffs were ninth among their new brethren in the Pac-12 Conference, trailing Stanford (#1), UCLA (#3), USC (#7), California (#11), Arizona (#19), Oregon (#24), Arizona State (#30) and Washington (#31); Oregon State (#66), Utah (#74) and Washington State (#106) came in behind CU. With two cross country titles and the men's basketball tournament title, the Buffaloes finished where expected to overall in the conference, making an impact in settling in the Pac-12's middle class ... Other regional finishes included Denver (#85), Air Force (#90), Wyoming (#138), Colorado State (#160) and Northern Colorado (#229) ... The Pac-12 won nine NCAA championships in 2011-12, most by any conference, as Arizona's defeat of South Carolina in the College World Series gave the league a 9-8 edge over the SEC for the year ... There was no turnover in the CU full-time football coaching staff (10 members) for just the second time in the last 24 years; the last occurrence was in 2008 ... We'll be taking some of our Tuesday media luncheons "on the road" this fall, with five set for the Millennium Harvest House in Boulder and four at the beautiful History Colorado complex in downtown Denver; there will also be two "super luncheons" at the UMC, and Coach Bill McCartney's Football Fix & Feast is set for the First Bank Center in Broomfield on Sept. 27 (details on all will be forthcoming) ... Look for a good piece later this month from CUBuffs.com's own B.G. Brooks, as he will write an exclusive review of Jon Embree's family vacation – on safari in Africa – Jon's wife Natalyn promised a boatload of pictures!

Athletes with ties to the Buffaloes did well at the recently completed U.S. Olympic Trials, as CU is sending five to the London games next month: Emma Coburn (Steeplechase), Kara Goucher (Marathon), Shalaya Kipp (Steeplechase), Dathan Ritzenhein (10,000) and Jenny Barringer Simpson (1,500). That ties the CU best for the most athletes competing in track for the United States in a Summer Olympics, matching the five in 2008 as Barringer, Goucher and Ritzenhein also participated that year in Beijing. In 2000 (Sydney), eight former Buffs were Olympians, six in track, but two competed for their native countries outside the U.S., with one in mountain biking and another in cycling.
Coburn and Kipp become just the third and fourth Buffs to compete in the Summer games while still eligible to compete as collegians; the late Ted Woods (football/track) was a sprinter in the '60 Olympics in Rome, and Barringer competed in the steeplechase in 2008 – both were juniors as are Coburn and Kipp. When was the last time more than one current Buff participated in the Olympics? From near as can be determined, it's happened just one other time, when skiers Bill Marolt and Jimmie Heuga participated in the 1964 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria.
The most athletes CU has ever had in a single Olympics? That would be the 1972 Winter games when 12 repped the Buffs, followed by 10 in the '68 Winter games.
Title IX: CU's Forgotten History
The 40th anniversary of Title IX was celebrated in June, the legislation that eventually led to the explosion of women's athletics: collegiately, that meant the creation of varsity programs with scholarships, the emergence of the first national governing organization (AIAW, or the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women), with the NCAA absorbing all beginning with the 1982-83 school year. But what about the history here at CU? Few remember it, and myself being the only department dinosaur left with ties to the 1970s (I arrived as a freshman in 1978-79 and was working in the SID office a week before my first class) I remembered some of the info but needed to make a call or two to refresh my memory. Here's a capsule look on how women's athletics evolved here.
Jane Wahl
- By the 1974-75 academic year, the aforementioned seven sports all started competing as varsity programs, all nicknamed the Lady Buffs (or Lady Buffaloes; "Lady" was dropped from all teams in 1992). The teams played largely a regional schedule as the travel budgets were minimal, competing in the Intermountain Conference until the Big 8 absorbed the programs in 1983. The first varsity women's basketball team played just 13 games, road games played only in New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. The first game in a non-bordering state came in year three when CU played in the Indianola (Iowa) Tournament.
- In 1972, the AIAW came into being and started sponsoring national championships for women for the first time that academic year. The first championships were held in women's basketball, and the schools that dominated the sport that first decade included Immaculata (won the first three titles), Delta State, Old Dominion, UCLA and Wayland Baptist.
- CU's ski coach at the time, Bill Marolt, played an instrumental role nationally in creating collegiate women's skiing and worked with Wahl to establish it at Colorado beginning in 1976-77.
Mary Decker
- Gymnast Debbie Wilcox was a good get by then-coach Dan Garcia, likely the next national recruit after Decker to find her way to CU. The Lady Buffs were also in the hunt until the end for Anne Donovan, a 6-8 center who was one of the first national high school girls' basketball stars; she eventually chose Old Dominion, following in the footsteps of Nancy Lieberman, the sports' first collegiate star. But a year later, Lisa Van Goor, from Yankton, S.D., found her way to Boulder and helped begin CU's run to national prominence and opened the door for a slew of other top players, both local and national, to play for Colorado. Lisa, of course, was the first woman inducted into CU's Athletic Hall of Fame.
- The men's and women's departments were merged on July 1, 1978; Wahl became an associate athletic director under Eddie Crowder, still in charge of the women's programs. She retired after the '78-79 season to pursue her doctorate degree, her thesis eventually researched and written on ... Title IX.
As part of its Title IX package, the Pac-12 office surveyed member schools on who were some of the outstanding former women's student-athletes that went on to great success outside of the athletic realm. Their story got no play here in Colorado, but the four former Buffs I submitted I listed below, as you can see, what they have accomplished is very impressive (and I will gladly take any submissions to include in my next 'Tudes!):
Kelly Smith (XC/Track '98) ... a 3.97 GPA in college and a multiple All-American in three sports, she chose to go into health care in the Chicago area; she is now with the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine—Director of Strategy and Planning.
|Kate Fagan
Debbie Jacobsen (Basketball '92) ... graduated from med school (Ohio State) and is now a primary care physician and surgeon and is also the team doctor for the Colorado Mammoth (professional lacrosse).
Kate Fagan (Basketball '04) ... has had a meteoric rise in journalism ... started small like most, then got her big break and covered the 76ers for the Philadelphia Inquirer for years and now is with ESPN-W; has been working on Title IX packages. (email@example.com).
Crystal Ford-Adams (Basketball '89)... she has spent the bulk of her career in community relations/outreach, first at the Coors Brewing Company (Golden, Colo.) and then Qwest, which is now Century Link
R.I.P., Jim Burris
The Denver sports community was saddened with the news that Jim Burris, former general manager of the Denver Bears and Denver Broncos, passed away from congenital heart failure on June 22 ... he was 89. As is the case in life, he outlived many of his associates, and few in the media remained that knew of his role and impact that he had on Denver eventually landing a major league baseball team. For years, he would attend the annual owners meetings, often with son Bob, and they were the lone two representing Denver while other cities rolled out a full assault.
I had the privilege of working for Burris and the Bears in 1982, when I interviewed for the publicity position at the suggestion of the late Frank Haraway (longtime Denver Post sportswriter who covered the Buffs and Bears for over four decades). I interviewed in January, passed the mustard, including the final test of Jim's dog, Toni, liking me – I am not kidding. He said his dog was a great judge of character. I was basically on the four-and-a-half year plan at CU, cemented by accepting this job because of an arrogant journalism professor telling me that I would fail her course if I actually missed two April classes because the Bears had day games—also true. Never mind that she should have been supportive that a senior in college had this kind of job offer, but her class was much more important (which of course was one of those worthless ones you could forget everything about after the final). So I had to drop the class and take it in the fall.
CU was practically running on austerity then after the massive budget cuts in 1980 that including eliminating seven sports; I was the assistant SID as junior but they only paid me through May. So I worked both jobs and then solely for the Bears in June, July, August and part of September, with an offer to return in 1983 if I so desired. CU came calling for me to run the football stat crew and do the credentials, so I did that for two months until negotiating to be the men's basketball SID in exchange for a full-time job when I graduated that December. Eddie Crowder, Fred Casotti and my SID predecessor, John Clagett, somehow worked it out to add a position in mid-year, something not easy to do at any university anywhere, even or especially today. Otherwise, I may never have a chance to return to CU; funny how things work out, but I wouldn't have been brash enough to demand a full-time job if I didn't have the Bears job in my back pocket (Eddie and Fred were not ones to like what was considered to be an ultimatum but were okay with it that time).
Would I have enjoyed a second year in minor league baseball? I'm not sure, but I wouldn't trade that one summer for anything. The experience was enjoyable, I made many friends I've kept to this day, and though I already had a solid work ethic, it ratcheted up a notch or two working for Burris and the Bears—136 games in 145 days or so, with a small staff, you either worked hard or you were gone. Most of the promotions were creative, though "Kazoo Night" had our manager, Rich Donnelly, call up to the press box wondering whose great idea that was when 2,500 kids were parading around a cavernous Mile High Stadium tooting away. I scored road games from the radio (KOA; Jeff Kingery did all the games joined by Joe Cullinane for home contests) and kept a parade of new stats like MISP (average with men in scoring position, which is now RISP—runners—but I can't claim that was as mine like I can the Red Zone), FBH (foul balls hit with two strikes) and K-SP (strike outs with men in scoring position, for both batters and pitchers). And that summer, on July 3, we played host to what is still the largest crowd in minor league baseball history – an announced crowd of 65,666. "Announced" because that was what the fire marshal told us we had to seal the crowd at due to safety considerations for postgame fireworks. The truth be told, the actual crowd was, if memory serves, 73,125!
Over 200 people attended Jim's memorial on June 29, a who's who of Denver sports personalities. The only problem was that Jim outlived many of his colleagues, but Roger Kinney and Jim's daughter Patrice gave beautiful eulogies and told great stories. Many don't realize that if there is no Jim Burris, there is no major league baseball in Denver. The Bears made it possible, and that should be the ultimate legacy of Jim Burris.
Jeremy Bloom's Senior Wish Organization
Jeremy's Senior Wish of a Lifetime keeps gaining steam; this wonderful foundation is granting nearly 500 wishes a year in just its fourth year of existence. Former Buff Brent Schweigert (TV name: Cannon) recently did a great sit down with Jeremy, and you can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qci5GvaBy50. One of the greatest shames in my 30-year career is that the NCAA couldn't find a way to allow Bloom to gather in sponsorships to pay for his Olympic pursuits; can't help but wonder if that's part of the reason he founded his organization, to help others in need as he himself was pursuing his dreams.
The Tweet Game
Athletes all over the world are using Twitter as their own personal media outlet, and college football players are obviously no exception. CU junior WR Paul Richardson tweeted this below to the world earlier on July 3: "I was cleared by my doctor and trainers to start running today and I'm not even 3 months out of surgery yet #Blessed." Richardson tore his ACL (knee ligament) the last week of spring drills (April 9) and had surgery a week later. At the time, as with most ACL tears and subsequent surgeries, he appeared lost for the 2012 season as the standard rehab period is usually 9-12 months. But hold the phone as they used to say; I spoke with CU trainer Miguel Rueda and here is what he told me: "Paul was cleared for straight-ahead jogging and running. He's not at the point where he can make cuts, run routes, etc. He is progressing nicely and faster than expected, but it's too early to predict what his status is for the upcoming season. We'll monitor his progress, but whether he can play in any or all of the games this fall can't be determined for some time yet." Richardson was the third-leading receiver on last year's team, with 39 receptions for 555 yards and five touchdowns; he set a school record with 284 yards (on a school-tying 11 catches) against California. So the prognosis appears good for No. 6, but let's not get the cart ahead of the horse just yet.
Gearhead Buffaloes
Richard Jones ('70) wrote in about the picture from January's 24 Hours of Daytona, informing me about the Porsche with the CU logo affixed to an upper side panel. He said the CU connection is one of the drivers, Cooper MacNeil, a student at CU; his father (David) founded Weathertech Automotive Products. He also alerted me to the fact that a former Buff skier in the 1970s, Patrick Tambay (a Frenchman), raced successfully in Formula 1 after his days in Boulder. (Formula 1 is the ultimate motor racing series with only about 20-30 drivers in the world competing). The passage below if from Tambay's biography:
"I was on the national squad for the hopefuls and B team. Jean Claude Killy was the leader of the outfit. It was difficult to be in the top league. I tried it for three years and was told by my coach that I will not make it to the top and I better go back to my studies, which I did, to the University of Colorado in Boulder. It turned out to be the best two years of my studies. I keep some extraordinary memories from Boulder. You can imagine the skiing in Aspen, Vail, and Breckenridge. That's where I met my first wife and I have two American kids. America is an important part of my life."
Space Cadet Or Not
In my January 'Tudes (1/22/12), I was asked to name my all-Buff underrated (football) team of the past three decades. Received a few responses that contained who they thought I left off. Some of the names submitted included DT Leonard Renfro, KR Ben Kelly, QBs John Hessler and Cody Hawkins and RB Dwayne Cherrington. However, my caveat was that I didn't list anyone who had earned at least first-team All-Conference; Renfro and Kelly earned that and beyond. The others did not, however.
The P-'Tudes Mailbag
Q: I'd be curious to see a list of greatest football play calls in your history at Colorado. I suspect the final play of the 1994 game at Michigan would be #1.
A: Maybe the play call of all time – it was a designed play, not a desperation Hail Mary as is the case most of the time. There are so many, but ones that come to mind are the halfback pass from O.C. Oliver to Lance Carl to open the fourth quarter in the '86 Nebraska game; the Huskers had just closed to within 10-7, but that 52-yard pass put us back up by 10. NU never had possession trailing by just one score after we took a 10-0 lead in an eventual 20-10 win over the No. 3 team in the land. Successful halfback passes are always memorable, the Lamont Warren to Charles Johnson one at Oklahoma was the national play-of-the-year, a precursor to "The Catch" the following year. Then there's the fake field goal play at Oklahoma State in 1991, where trailing 12-10 very late: we faked a field goal in stifling winds and Robbie James hit Christian Fauria with a 20-yard touchdown pass with just six seconds remaining; the winds were so bad that we missed the extra point, which was 17 yards closer than the field goal attempt would have been. The reverse to open Big 12 play at Texas A&M, where we recovered an Aggie fumble on their 28-yard line and Rae Carruth took it home just 13 seconds into our Big 12 history, that was an eye-opener. In 2004, 10 years later and covering the same distance and taking place with just five seconds remaining, Joel Klatt and Ron Monteilh teamed on a 64-yard touchdown pass and catch to defeat Kansas State, 38-31; they were just hoping for a long completion and a subsequent 50-plus yard field goal try from Mason Crosby. Then add in the play listed below in the "Who Am I" trivia question above. And maybe not a specific play "call," who can forget the 1989 Nebraska game where Darian Hagan ran 40 yards downfield and then surprised everyone with a pitch to J.J. Flannigan who raced the remaining 30 as the two combined for a 70-yard touchdown. I am sure I could list dozens more; any P-'Tuders out there with single play call remembrances, go ahead and send them on it.
Q: Why a game at Michigan with no return? We just did that with Ohio State and we as fans want to see those teams in Boulder.
A: I think we all agree on that point, our fans love seeing those teams visit Folsom Field. Really, it is just scheduling quirks; we had a window for a road game in 2016 with six home games plus CSU in Denver. It's a delicate balance, as do you want an eight-game package for your season ticket holders? Some schools can pull that off, but you have to be smart especially in this economy. We will receive $1,450,000 for the trip in and out of Ann Arbor, quite possibly the most for a one-and-done series in college football history, as we believe the $1.4 million we received for the Ohio State game this past year was the record. We freely admit we scheduled that game for the money, coming off a year where we had no conference distribution check from the Big 12, the one from the Pac-12 was going to be limited, and we had a couple of contracts that required payments to former coaches. Stadium size factors in; many schools that seat in excess of 90,000 or more often don't feel they have to return one to a school with a smaller stadium unless the payment is off the charts. You can't give over 50 percent of your net gate to an opponent, which is what some demand. That's why you do see a several 2-for-1s. Another factor is we are longer the westernmost school in a conference; we're the easternmost. Our days of playing several games a year in the Central Time Zone are long gone; we would like to get east and Midwest on occasion, as will be the case when we travel to Michigan and UMass later this decade.
Q: Your take on the impending 4-team playoff?
A: It's really not much different that the plus-1 that was being pushed for years; I like it because the semifinals will feed a title game instead of some committee or computer picking two teams after the bowls. What has to happen is a consistent strength of schedule component, and conferences need to play the same number of league games. Teams have to go on the road in non-league play (e.g., Florida hasn't left the state since a trip to Syracuse in 1989); recently, Georgia's been the only SEC school to do it with regularity, though Tennessee and the Mississippi schools have in the past, and Alabama did fly up to Penn State last fall. We need more of that as these intersectional games are often terrific.
Q: I saw a thread on a fan site criticizing the selection of Stanford as the Homecoming opponent. What is the process for picking an opponent for that game?
A: I imagine someone raised a point about how the opponent supposedly gets all juiced up because they are picked for someone's Homecoming ... not sure that happens any more. It's really not that big a secret that Homecoming here at CU hasn't been that big of a deal for at least the last 30 years; never was dating back to my student days. We get some extra people for some class reunions, but the weekend's events are nothing like we saw in the old Big 8 (for example, Missouri and Iowa State practically invented Homecoming). Parent's Weekend is the bigger draw here, so what determines the opponents for both PW and HC are based on the dates when home games fall; campus likes PW about a month to seven weeks into the semester (thus, the Sept. 29 UCLA game is Parent's Weekend in 2012), and then HC is usually one of the next two homes games, but never after the first November Saturday. The only home game in October this year is Arizona State on a Thursday (Oct. 11), so Homecoming deferred to the next available home game, Stanford on Nov. 3.
Q: I read from time to time we're an AAU school, and that Nebraska recently lost their distinction. What is an AAU school and how important is it?
A: AAU stands for Association of American Universities; there are 61 members, and CU is one of just 36 U.S. public research universities that are included. We have been a member since 1966; 40 of the other 60 current members have belonged longer, some dating back to the group's inception in 1900. As to what the AAU is, here's the capsule summary direct from its website (www.aau.edu):
The Association of American is an organization of 61 leading public and private research universities in the United States and Canada, and was founded in 1900 to advance the international standing of U.S. research universities. The AAU today focuses on issues that are important to research-intensive universities, such as funding for research, research policy issues, and graduate and undergraduate education. Member universities are on the leading edge of innovation, scholarship, and solutions that contribute to the nation's economy, security, and well-being. The 59 AAU universities in the United States award more than one-half of all U.S. doctoral degrees and 55 percent of those in the sciences and engineering. AAU programs and projects address institutional issues facing its member universities, as well as government actions that affect these and other universities. Membership in the association is by invitation
How important is it? Likely more how prestigious it is, since it is a select group and it is by invitation. Curriculum plays a big role, so there are quality schools that are not members (e.g., Dartmouth). I don't know why Nebraska was dropped, but the Big Ten has the most schools in the AAU with 11; the Pac-12 is next with eight (all but Arizona State, Oregon State, Utah and Washington State). The ACC has five, the SEC four (doubling its number with the addition of Missouri and Texas A & M, as only Florida and Vanderbilt were previous members), with the Big 12 down to three.
Things That Make You Go Hmmm...
For the first time, I am actually "Hmmm-less." Guess I can always refer to NBA officiating or how a no-talent hack who shall remain nameless gets sideline reporting assignments in things such as, oh, the NBA Finals. Nah, I'll go with "hmmm-less."

Congrats Shouts & Sympathies
Raegan Scott Pebley
- Big-time kudos to Chris Valenti (Business '96), who worked as a student in the CU equipment office for four years and then as the assistant. Now the equipment manager down the road (well, US 36 to I-25 to Arapahoe, then left to Dove Valley) of the Denver Broncos, he was recently named the NFL's Equipment Manager of the Year for 2011. Congrats Chris!
Jason Powell
- For the second straight year, former Buff Mike Hogberg ('83) has qualified for the U.S. Senior Open; he tied for medalist honors in sectional qualifying by shooting a 68 (with former Tour vet Andy Bean). Three Buffs will be playing in the tournament, Hale Irwin ('67) and Steve Jones ('81), who is making a comeback on the Champions Tour after battling injuries for the last five years. Dale Douglass ('59) could be a fourth if he were to decide to play, but he's only been participating sporadically the last couple of years.
- Former CU sports info graduate assistant Cole Mickelson ('11) landed a sweet internship with USA Basketball this summer; Cole worked four years as an undergrad and then one year as the GA prior to spreading his wings. And no, he's not related to Phil; they pronounce the last names different.
This Tudes' Number: 68%
That was the percentage increase in attendance for Colorado men's basketball from the 2008-09 season (an average of 4,637) to 2011-12 (7,804); that 68.3 percent increase led the nation for all 340-plus programs for that time period. Not only did that figure come in number one, St. John's was a distant second at 45 percent, followed by Kansas State (40%), Auburn (27%) and Alabama (25%). Arizona State had the biggest decline (45%), following by Washington State (39%) and then UCLA (36%), though the Bruins number was skewed by playing off campus while Pauley Pavilion is being renovated.
Runner-up: Nothing to do with CU or sports, but I found this factoid interesting: According to Scrabble's TWL (word list), there are more 12-letter words (11,417) than five letter words (8,938) in the English language. The most famous 12/5 of course is the NCAA basketball tournament, where the No. 12 seed often upsets the No. 5 one.
Trivia Answers
CU—This could be a trick question since Rick Neuheisel (3-0) and Dal Ward (1-0) were undefeated in bowl games. But let's go with a minimum of 10 postseason games: the answer is thus Tad Boyle, who is 10-3 combined between the 2011 Big 12 Tournament (2-1), the 2011 N.I.T. (3-1), the 2012 Pac-12 Tournament (4-0) and the 2012 NCAA (1-1); he is also the only coach in men's basketball program history above .500 in the postseason with a nifty 76.9 winning percentage. The Buffs have won more postseason games (10) in the last two years under Boyle than in the previous 20 under three coaches (8).
|Jon Stearns
Who Am I?—Jon 'Bad Dude" Stearns. In the 1971 Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl, CU was leading Houston 23-17 with seven minutes left and faced a 4th-and-9 from its 10; Stearns, the team's punter, called his own fake and dashed off for a 12-yard gain to pick up a first down and set the stage for CU's clinching TD drive in a 29-17 win that propelled the Buffs to a No. 3 national ranking behind Nebraska and Oklahoma. An All-American catcher in baseball, he led the NCAA in home runs with 15 as a senior, leading CU to a 32-11 overall record. He was drafted second overall in the 1973 MLB Draft by Philadelphia and reached the majors in 1974, but was soon traded to the New York Mets for popular relief pitcher Tug McGraw. He wore 16 in 1975-76 but would get his familiar No. 12 back from Lee Mazzili to wear the remainder of his career (1977-84).
Music—Keyboardist Bobby Whitlock was looking for a project in early 1970; it was suggested to him that he go to London and visit Eric Clapton. They eventually collaborated on most of the songs that would appear on the Layla album, and called some old members from a previous band and formed what would eventually be known as Derek and the Dominoes. The group also was the studio band for George Harrison's third solo album, but the first after the Beatles' break-up, All Things Must Pass, ironic because Layla was penned by Clapton for his love of Harrison's wife at the time, Patty Boyd. So who suggested Whitlock call his old friend Clapton? Steve Cropper, formerly of Booker T and the M.G.'s, who played lead and rhythm guitar with the Blues Brothers Band.
Name That Tune—From late 1970, the first hit of the decade for the Bee Gees, Lonely Days. It was one of those songs that spanned over two years, finishing as the No. 82 song of 1971; How Can You Mend A Broken Heart was the No. 5 song that same year. They were not on the same album, but were on back-to-back efforts (2 Years On, Trafalgar). Unfortunately, Maurice and now Robin Gibb have passed, leaving only Barry.

More than a year after charges of alleged battery, Nadine Kay Hayes continues to face the consequences of an incident that took place between her and Transportation Security Administration officials at Bob Hope Airport.
In April of 2009, Hayes was stopped at the airport security checkpoint. According to the arrest report, Hayes struck the TSA supervisor who tried to apprehend an ice cooler that Hayes held. Hayes denies this and explains that she did not strike but rather brought her hand down to guard her 93-year-old ailing mother's applesauce, cheese, milk and soda in a cooler that she had emailed the TSA about prior to the trip.
"Please advise, as I do not want to have complications at the airport," Hayes noted in her email about the food for her mother.
Hayes then allegedly ignored instructions to release the soda that she grabbed out of the cooler she had handed over and then drank the soda in a sterile area.
"Did I drink a soda? Yes, I drunk a soda. Did I know I was in a sterile area and could not do so? No I did not," Hays said. "I am not a belligerent person. I don't defy the law. I didn't struggle with the soda. I let them have it," Hayes told the Glendale-News Press.
Last month her case was dismissed by the LA County Superior Court on the condition that the 58-year-old woman, who looks after her 93-year-old mother, stay out of trouble. Last week she received a four-page letter from the TSA threatening to impose civil penalties of up to $10,000. Today she received a fine of $2,500, in addition to the $15,000 she spent in legal fees resulting from the incident. Hayes refuses to pay the penalty.
Would this have played out the same way had it been a 58-year-old man encountering the same officials? Likely yes. It's quite bizarre nonetheless.
Food for Thought: Is asserting legal punishment and control for control's sake just as important as using rules and laws for protection?

Wonderful For Hard To Curl Hair!!!!I was surprised to see the bad reviews of this product! We bought this curling iron for my sister 3 years ago and we both fell in love with it! Her hair is fine and thin and doesn't hold style AT ALL!!!! Any style regardless of the product we use falls out in 5 minuets or less. But when she uses this curling iron her hair will stay all day! My hair holds style a little better it might last an hour or two but when I use this curling iron I can use inexpensive suave hair spray and my curl will last for 2 days! (also note: we both use inexpensive hair spray and minimal product- maybe a drug store heat protector and suave hair spray-so it is 100% the curling iron working!!!!) The curling iron hasn't chipped or worn down at all and my sister isn't super gentle with it. Its been dropped, thrown into bags and survived college dorm rooms and several moves. I would recommend this product to everyone! Especially friends with hard to curl hair, its been wonderful! I am actually having to buy my own since my sister has moved out and took the curling iron with her! I have found it impossible to go back to other curling irons, nothing works anywhere near as well as this one! I LOVE IT!!!!!!! I WOULD TOTALLY ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS CURLING IRON! ESPECIALLY FOR HARD TO CURL HAIR!!!!Sep 5, 2012HillaryHAIR TYPENormal Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Not Worth The Money!!I bought this curling iron in May 2008. In about a month the ceramic coating started chipping off. I received a replacement after calling customer service. It took a little over two months for the coating to chip off the second one!! Dont waste your money on this product!! For $119 I expected better results!!Dec 17, 2008Shannon Ramsey

Poor Curling IronI was very dissapointed with performance of this curling iron. When I used it, the curls fell out of my hair before I could even finish curling. The curls were limp and lifeless by the time I finished. It looked like that I had not even used the iron. Also, the buttons for temperature control are on the handle of the iron, which caused my fingers to accidentally change the temperature while holding the iron. This is a terrible iron with poor button placement. Do not waste your money on this curling iron. I returned it iron a week ago.Nov 7, 2008Karen / Mobile, AL

Poor Curling IronI purchased the 1 1/4 inch curling iron a week ago, and I am greatly dissappointed with its performance. As I tried to curl my hair, the curls immediately fell out before I could finish. It does not hold curls at all. Also, the temperature adjustment buttons are located on the handle of the curling iron, and I kept accidentally pressing the buttons as I held the iron. This caused the temperature to change. Please do not waste your money on this iron. I will be returning it today.Oct 31, 2008Karen / Mobile, AL

Get ready to set sail in mega stripes and navy blues as everything sailor and nautical will be this spring and summer's hottest fashion trend. From horizontally-striped dresses to sail-worthy oversized totes, the nautical trend is back with a vengeance--and for avid fashion lovers, one of the easiest styles to incorporate into an already existing wardrobe.
Take advantage of this easy-to-style trend by coupling navy stripes with bright and bold pops of red and yellow blends to stand out in the warmer season. Cognac and tan colored belts and accessories are also nautical-friendly and make for a casual yet cool and sophisticated look.
If donning the red, white and blue ranks low on your spring and summer must-have fashion lists, check out The Limited's newest spring and summer 2014 collection for some current wardrobe inspiration. When all is said and done with this hot trend, "sea"-ing is definitely believing.

There are coincidences and then there are correlations. When we discover that 2005 and 2010 are in a dead heat, no pun intended, for warmest year since records began in 1880 do we call this a coincidence or a correlation? And just what is the correlation in question?
The correlation, of course, is between the intensification of climate change and these temperatures. The sceptic doubts not only that these temperatures are meaningful, but also that they are caused by climate change. Sceptics might suggest that the correlation itself is a projection of climate scientists, but whereas the sceptics' case is certainly possible it remains, all the same, improbable.
It is the improbability that we are living through a meaningless series of record-breaking temperatures year after year that is most striking in the sceptics' case. The onus is not on green advocates to proof climate change, but on the sceptics to prove, first, that these consistently warm temperatures are meaningless and then, following from this, that these temperatures require no explanation – even when one is staring us in the face.
Neat explanatory correlations are rare in nature, but here we have not one, but many. NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies revealed a further startling correlation on January 12th: there was a mere 0.018 degrees Fahrenheit mean difference between 2005 and 2010 temperatures. Combined with the further fact that the list of warmest years outside these two are in 1998, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007 and 2009 and an explanation is in order. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 2010 State of the Climate Report has already reached the same conclusion, and it is increasingly unlikely that the general toward elevated warming will shift.
The data was further corroborated by the British Met Office Hadley Centre. Although it is clear that warming is fast becoming the norm this does not explain why it is that warming has become the norm. How did it become the norm?
James Hansen, the director of the Goddard Institute, commented that "If the warming trend continues, as is expected, if greenhouse gases continue to increase, the 2010 record will not stand for long." These correlations have given us the gift of a predictive capacity and we would be fools to ignore it.

Many years ago I ran into an old high school buddy while on a camping trip with my family. We spent an evening over a campfire talking about where our lives had taken us in the years since we'd parted ways.
Bob had spent his career up to that point at a short-line railroad where his father also had worked. He told me how he'd landed the job: while job seekers lined up outside the company office for the coveted position, his father took him through a back door to a job that was just waiting for him. "I feel a bit guilty about that," he told me.
Such is the unfair world of employment in which qualified, legitimate job seekers compete against candidates who come though the back door of nepotism, privilege, and inside connections. It's always been that way, and always will be. Many of us have been either victims or beneficiaries of such backroom deals.
That memory come to mind with last week's news that the Clark County commissioners David Madore and Tom Mielke will hire state Sen. Don Benton, R-Vancouver, as director of the county's environmental services department. Benton isn't quite coming through the back door: he's walking through a front door no one else knew was open, since the job has never been posted. The Columbian reported Thursday that Benton appears not to meet the minimum job requirements for the professional — not political — job, and that Madore has created a new job description, not yet approved, for the favored candidate.
Most of us can only dream of having a job created just for us. Instead, we're fighting ever harder for any employment as the number of skilled workers outstrips the number of jobs emerging in today's economy. In Clark County, with our slow economic recovery, there were 23,580 residents out of work in February. Many others were working part time because they couldn't find full-time work, or had given up the job search entirely. The unemployed who can't write their own job ticket receive plenty of advice. Some involves techniques: writing a sparking résumé and selling your strengths during a job interview. Other suggestions require difficult life changes: a new career, a return to school, lower expectations for job or salary.
But while networking is always included in the job seeker's toolbox, there's no way to win when a back door opens for competitors who wouldn't make it through the main entrance. It's one thing to lose out in fair competition; that can force painful self-evaluation that can force change for the better in the long run. It's another to lose in unfair competition, which produces only bitterness and the kind of anger that Clark County officials are feeling in reaction to Benton's backdoor entry.
Corporations aren't immune from favoritism and nepotism, of course, but the bottom line of profit and loss is a great check on such corrosive hiring practices. And sports offer the purest form of fair competition: the new movie "42," about how Jackie Robinson's talent was powerful enough to shatter major league baseball's ugly racism, speaks to the power of talent to win the day.
There will never be an end to backdoor deals, no matter how many mechanisms are put in place to prevent them. We don't know whether Benton will feel the tinge of guilt my old friend felt as he drove past the job seekers on his way to an inside job. But let's hope most employers will give a fair shake to those still standing in those lines, asking just to be given a chance.

I don't understand why it's "take a photo". Why take? Is there any rule for this?
Sign up

It seems to be an extension of taking notes.
From "The Language of Photography" http://www.source.ie/issues/issues2140/issue22/is22artlanpho.html
In addition to the point made by Ronan, I think take belongs to the group of verbs that are semantically empty and are often christened delexical verbs. We often like to represent actions as nouns, often for maintaining an easy rhythm in speech.
So we 'take a walk', 'have/take a bath', 'have a read', 'have a look', 'take a dip', 'give a shove', 'give a laugh', 'make a promise' and so on.
In other words, don't think too much of the meaning of the verbs there!
Photography is about capturing the state of some photons within a moment (well, a very brief period of time). Once captured, the information about that state can be taken with you and reproduced anywhere. "Taking a photo" amounts to collecting information from the environment and carrying it away, i.e. literally the act of taking.
Peter provides some good examples of how "take" can be used in other scenarios where such reasoning doesn't make sense (I certainly don't carry a tub around with me whenever I "take a bath") but I think in this case, a literal meaning can and should be inferred.
I think my answer might be similar to Ronan's, but not enough to be a comment on that answer.
You can actually make photos as well, although to take a photo is more prevalent.
There are people on the Photography sub-site of StackExchange that determine their use based on what sort of action they are performing, noting subtle differences between to make and to take. See Does a photographer take pictures or make pictures?.
If we go back to painting we have words and expressions that offer the very same relationship between painter and subject. For example to 'capture a likeness'.
Then let's go back to earlier, to the word 'draw'. To draw means to pull. To draw a horse and cart. To take from one place to another. To withdraw money from one account to another.
This idea is the same in other languages. A portrait in Italian for example is 'ritratto', trarre (traere) means to pull/draw. The etymology of portrait would suggest it also means to take a likeness from where it is towards you now.
Interestingly how also photos were often initially viewed as 'stealing' part of you.
All in all, when we talk about reproducing what we see via pencil, paint or photo we are taking it from it is to where we are now.
There are only two verbs one can use in regards of using a camera to produce an image - 'take' and 'make'.
'Make' has am implied meaning of investing some effort - as in 'make dinner'. 'Take' feels more effortless.
Some years ago, photos were actually 'made' because it involved film processing, while now we just 'take' them.
A Chinese perspective:
In Chinese, one verb/noun can have totally different meanings. "take a photo" in Chinese is "拍照", "拍" means clap, "照" means "photo". In some province in China people say "捏一张" which also means "take a photo". "捏" means "pinch", "一张" means "one piece".
So, what I want to say is, sometimes an existing verb may be 'borrowed' to invent a new meaning. The existing meaning no longer suitable in new phrase.
Sometime the verb is not important, it just picked make a noun become a verb or action.

Yesterday, I tried installing Internet Explorer 7 standalone on Windows 7. I didn't get any installation problems though I started facing weird errors.
When I open Windows Explorer an error appeared in the title bar:
The interface is unknown with "explorer.exe"
I tried re-registering a number of DLLs such as
shdocvw.dll and so on as listed here.
I can now open Windows Explorer but I am unable to copy/paste and many other operations no longer work.
What should I do? How can I fix this?

I have a Zebra label printer connected to a Linux Mint virtual machine. It was set up with CUPS and a Windows XP computer can then print to it via http://192.168.1.76:632/printers/labelprinter. That was all fine and dandy
I then hooked up a Fargo Pro L PVC card printer to a Windows XP virtual machine. I had to disconnect the label printer as the server that hosted both virtual machines only has 1 parallel port. Now I plugged in the Zebra again, and it cannot print from the Windows XP computer anymore. If I go to the CUPS admin panel on the Windows XP computer, I can see it, everything looks fine, and I can send it a test page to print which works. If I try to print from Windows, I get an error that the printer is not found/cannot connect to the server.
The only other thing that changed was the firewall on the router to allow remote desktop to another computer from outside the network, but all the firewall stuff was for external use. Nothing affected the IP address of the internal network. The Linux Mint VM also had a PDF pritner that was shared with CUPS. That printer is also down. I tried setting up a new CUPS installation on another VM, and when I go to share it with XP, I get the same error.
I don't know what to try. It has access, it can get to the admin from that computer, it seems to be up and ready, but when Windows tries to connect, the printer isn't found even though 4 days ago everything was fine.
Any ideas?

The world is about to witness one of the greatest human feats ever captured on television – when California resident Joby Ogwyn attempts the first wing suit flight off the summit of Mount Everest. The epic event titled EVEREST JUMP LIVE will broadcast live on the Discovery Channel and in 224 countries and territories in May 2014.
"This is history in the making," said Eileen O'Neill, Group President Discovery and TLC Networks. "Discovery Channel continues to bring live broadcast events unlike anything you'll see on television – from Felix Baumgartner's world record for the highest space jump to Nik Wallenda's incredible tightrope walk across the Grand Canyon."
Discovery will take viewers along the journey with two, one-hour pre-shows revealing Joby's intense training and preparations for Everest. The special will then culminate with a live 2-hour broadcast – showing Joby as he battles the grueling conditions on the way to Everest's summit and ultimately takes the final plunge from the top. Joby's custom-made wingsuit will be equipped with cameras bringing a bird's eye view as he descends more than 10,000 vertical feet at speeds of over 150 mph.
Joby is no stranger to Everest. He first summited the world's highest peak at just 24-years-old, becoming the youngest American to make it to the top. In 2008, Joby set the world record for the fastest ascent of Mt. Everest, climbing from the base of the south side route to the summit in just nine and a half hours (it typically takes 3-4 days). Ever since then, he's searched for the ultimate way to explore the mountain – and now he's found it.
"This will be the final piece of my dream. Ever since I was a kid, I've imagined what it would be like to fly. I can't think of a more spectacular backdrop than Everest," said Joby. "Everything that I've ever accomplished in my life has just been practice for what I'm about to do."
Joby will conduct dozens of test jumps in California, Florida, Utah and the Swiss Alps. After extensive preparation, he will then travel to the Himalayas for final training. After six weeks of acclimatization, Joby and his team will be ready to summit Everest.
But many questions will remain unanswered until he arrives. Will the weather cooperate? Did he bring the right equipment? And has Joby's training actually prepared him for something no human has ever done before?
For most climbers, reaching the summit of Everest is the ultimate dream but for Joby – it's only the beginning.

Two beautiful German shepherds were surrendered to the Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control in Baldwin Park, Calif., on Dec. 20, and today, they are still waiting for someone to help them walk free from the facility.
The dogs, Dolly and Tofu, are undoubtedly shell-shocked over their new "home."
Gone are all things familiar...the voices they once loved, the smells they knew, the toys that they called their own.

College Hockey:Huskies 'Coole' Off Top-Ranked Sioux
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — The St. Cloud State Huskies kept their unbeaten streak alive Friday, stunning the No. 1 North Dakota Fighting Sioux 2-1 before 11,107 fans at Ralph Engelstad Arena.
Junior wing Dave Iannazzo scored with 1:53 left in the game to break a 1-1 tie, propelling the eighth-ranked and WCHA-leading Huskies to an 8-0-1 record overall and 6-0-1 in the conference.
"Any time you come in the Engelstad and win a game, it's a big win," said SCSU coach Craig Dahl. "We hadn't won eight in a row here, so it's obviously a big win for us."
SCSU junior goalie Adam Coole was nothing short of sensational in stopping 32 of 33 shots he faced. The Sioux entered the game as one of the top offensive teams in the country, averaging 5.7 goals per game.
"We knew we couldn't get into a run-and-shoot battle with them. There's no way. They're too high-powered up front, so obviously we played our game plan," Dahl said.
Iannazzo's shot from the bottom of the right circle appeared to have no way to get in as Sioux goalie Jake Brandt hugged the post. The players were as surprised as anyone when puck plopped to the ice behind Brandt.
"I came up around the short side and just tried to shoot it at the net. I guess I got a lucky bounce and it went in," Iannazzo said. "I was surprised after because I didn't see a reaction for like a good five seconds and then, finally, the light was on."
"It actually got me in the glove," Brandt said of Iannazzo's shot, "and I think it deflected up. I was in tight hugging the post. It came up over my shoulder and I had my glove up there."
The Huskies jumped out to a 1-0 lead at 2:26 of the first period on senior wing Matt Hendricks' power-play goal. Left alone at the top of the left circle, he fired a wrist shot that might have deflected off a Sioux defenseman before going in.
"I thought it did because I thought it was going wide," Brandt said. "I'm still confused. I want to watch the videotape to see how that one went in."
In a penalty-filled game (SCSU 10 for 20 minutes, UND 9 for 18), the Sioux power play continued to struggle, going 0-9 on the night. With the Huskies on their heels, the Sioux couldn't capitalize on a crucial 5-on-3 advantage for two minutes in the second period. UND's power play is now 3-46 on the season.
Sioux junior wing Brandon Bochenski scored at 15:37 of the second period to knot the game 1-1. Near the center of the left circle, he blasted a drop pass from defenseman Matt Jones past Coole for UND's only goal of the game.
Despite outshooting the Huskies 14-7 in the second period, UND couldn't get the puck past Coole. The few rebounds he left were quickly cleared by SCSU's tenacious defense.
The third period was even until Iannazzo's goal at the 18:07 mark. Brandt compounded UND's problems by taking a slashing penalty in the final 1:04 of the game.
"We expended a lot of emotion last week, but you've got to get it back," coach Dean Blais said of his team's performance. "You get that number-one for a reason. You work so hard so hard to get there. In a WCHA game, you've got to be ready to go."
The Sioux are now 6-2-0 overall and 2-1-0 in the WCHA. SCSU and UND will play the second game of the series 7:05 p.m. Saturday night at Engelstad Arena.

Constructive Criticism - the Department of English and Pearson Edexcel
Publication date: 14 August 2014
Professor John Mullan, Head of the Department of English at UCL, has for some time been a syllabus advisor to Pearson Edexcel, one of the largest exam boards for England and Wales, on its GCE English Literature. Requirements for candidates to show knowledge of critical arguments about the texts they are studying led Pearson Edexcel to approach him to select and edit an anthology of literary criticism for future candidates. Recently completed, this anthology will be distributed free to every student taking the Pearson Edexcel GCE English Literature allowing them to access a wide variety of criticism in one collection.
After a good deal of discussion, John and representatives of Pearson Edexcel decided that the samples of criticism should be attached to the compulsory Shakespeare section of the Drama component within the GCE English Literature. This is divided between four Tragedies and four Comedies (candidates only have to choose one play). The exam board wanted three or four self-contained passages analysing each one of the set plays, and further extracts that discussed the features of Tragedy or Comedy more generally.
John worked on the selection with two colleagues, and Shakespeare experts, from the English Department: Professor Rene Weis and Professor Helen Hackett and for this engagement they were represented by UCL Consultants Ltd. They eventually chose 40 passages of Shakespeare criticism, each one by a different critic. Every passage had to have a headnote, summarising its argument, and glosses of all allusions or difficult words. Above all, the selection had to show students – and teachers – that criticism can give new life to literary works and make reading them more interesting and pleasurable.
This was a stiff test for the three editors, who had to prepare an anthology suitable for students of a range of abilities. The question of how a critic wrote became as important as what he or she wrote. The Shakespeare critics from whose work it was easiest to select were those like Frank Kermode and Anne Barton who, for all their scholarship, wrote with real eloquence for any lover of literature to understand.
John reflected, "It was a sometimes chastening experience to ask, could an interested sixth former be expected to understand the argument of this piece? On several occasions, passages that we, as academics, thought critically significant had to be rejected as opaque or dauntingly erudite – as if designed to overpower the reader. In contrast, I hope the samples we have selected will prove to be enjoyable as well as helpful".
Katy Lewis from Pearson Edexcel added, "Creating a specification which is clearly focused on the literary text as well as giving A level students exposure to critical reading has been one of the key aims in the redevelopment of Pearson Edexcel's GCE in English Literature. Working with Professor Mullan and his colleagues in the English department at UCL has been absolutely fundamental in developing an approach which focuses the criticism within the specific Shakespeare plays that the students are studying. This approach will encourage students to consider a range of different perspectives which illuminate their own reading and help them to begin developing their own critical voice. John and the team have been brilliant not only in selecting a great range of stimulating critical materials, but also in giving real consideration to the A level student who will be using this resource. The teacher reaction to this collaboration has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are sure that students will benefit massively from these anthologies."
Trish Greenan, Director at UCLC, said, "We're very pleased with the success of this collaboration with Pearson Edexcel. It's encouraging to engage with academics from Arts and Humanities in a consultancy context, particularly in respect of a piece of work which has such genuine impact."

4.4: Applications & Models
Learning Objectives
- Apply inverse trigonometric functions to real life situations.
The following problems are real-world problems that can be solved using the trigonometric functions. In everyday life, indirect measurement is used to obtain answers to problems that are impossible to solve using measurement tools. However, mathematics will come to the rescue in the form of trigonometry to calculate these unknown measurements.
Example 1: On a cold winter day the sun streams through your living room window and causes a warm, toasty atmosphere. This is due to the angle of inclination of the sun which directly affects the heating and the cooling of buildings. Noon is when the sun is at its maximum height in the sky and at this time, the angle is greater in the summer than in the winter. Because of this, buildings are constructed such that the overhang of the roof can act as an awning to shade the windows for cooling in the summer and yet allow the sun's rays to provide heat in the winter. In addition to the construction of the building, the angle of inclination of the sun varies according to the latitude of the building's location.
If the latitude of the location is known, then the following formula can be used to calculate the angle of inclination of the sun on any given date of the year:
a. Determine the measurement of the sun's angle of inclination for a building located at a latitude of
b. Determine the measurement of the sun's angle of inclination for a building located at a latitude of
Example 2: A tower, 28.4 feet high, must be secured with a guy wire anchored 5 feet from the base of the tower. What angle will the guy wire make with the ground?
Solution: Draw a picture.
The following problem that involves functions and their inverses will be solved using the property
Example 3: In the main concourse of the local arena, there are several viewing screens that are available to watch so that you do not miss any of the action on the ice. The bottom of one screen is 3 feet above eye level and the screen itself is 7 feet high. The angle of vision (inclination) is formed by looking at both the bottom and top of the screen.
a. Sketch a picture to represent this problem.
b. Calculate the measure of the angle of vision that results from looking at the bottom and then the top of the screen. At what distance from the screen does the maximum value for the angle of vision occur?
To determine these values, use a graphing calculator and the trace function to determine when the actual maximum occurs.
From the graph, it can be seen that the maximum occurs when
Example 4: A silo is 40 feet high and 12 feet across. Find the angle of depression from the top edge of the silo to the floor of the opposite edge.
Example 5: The pilot of an airplane flying at an elevation of 5000 feet sights two towers that are 300 feet apart. If the angle between the point directly below him and the base of the tower closer to him is
Solution: Draw a picture. First we need to find
Which means that the bases of the two towers are
Review Questions
- The intensity of a certain type of polarized light is given by the equation
I=I0sin2θcos2θ. Solve for θ.
- The following diagram represents the ends of a water trough. The ends are actually isosceles trapezoids, and the length of the trough from end-to-end is ten feet. Determine the maximum volume of the trough and the value of
θthat maximizes that volume.
- A boat is docked at the end of a 10 foot pier. The boat leaves the pier and drops anchor 230 feet away 3 feet straight out from shore (which is perpendicular to the pier). What was the bearing of the boat from a line drawn from the end of the pier through the foot of the pier?
- The electric current in a certain circuit is given by
i=Im[sin(wt+α)cosφ+cos(wt+α)sinφ]Solve for t.
- Using the formula from Example 1, determine the measurement of the sun's angle of inclination for a building located at a latitude of:
64∘on the 16thof November
15∘on the 8thof August
- A ship leaves port and travels due east 15 nautical miles, then changes course to
N 20∘ Wand travels 40 more nautical miles. Find the bearing to the port of departure.
- Find the maximum displacement for the simple harmonic motion described by
- The pilot of an airplane flying at an elevation of 10,000 feet sights two towers that are 500 feet apart. If the angle between the point directly below him and the base of the tower closer to him is
18∘, determine the angle ybetween the bases of the two towers.

Diigo Toolbar Crashes IE; Internet Explorer has stopped working
I've been fighting a Diigo caused crash in IE for a long time; and it has happened in ie7, ie8, and ie9. Basically, at some point after the toolbar is installed IE starts crashing. I don't know what triggers it, and it could be working fine for minutes, hours, days, or weeks. But once the crash starts IE fails on EVERY launch and the only way that I've found to fix it is to simply uninstall Diigo tool bar and then reinstall. Things then work fine… until they don't. Here's an entry from the event log:
