When we talk to someone directly, we use names and titles:
Hello, John, how are you?
Professor Sana, there's someone to see you.
When we are talking about people, we use different forms depending on our relationship with them.
We use first names only in informal situations:
I saw Mel earlier today.B:
Did you? I haven't seen her for weeks.
We use first name + family name (surname) when we are not sure if the person we are talking to knows who we're talking about:
Do you know Simon Perry?
Joy Goodfellow had to go to hospital today. I'm not sure why.
We use a title (Mr, Mrs, Ms, Dr, Prof) and the surname in more formal situations. We don't usually use the title alone, or the title and first name (although we sometimes use a job title):
Dr O'Donnell, can I ask you a question?
Dr David, can I ask…?
Could you ask Mrs Zatta to call me when she gets back?
Could you ask Mrs to call me…?
We use Mr /ˈmɪstə(r)/ for men. We do not usually write 'Mister' in full. We use Mrs /ˈmɪsɪz/ for married women.
Ms /məz/ does not indicate if the person is married or not. Some women take on their husband's surname and the title Mrs when they get married. Some women prefer to keep their surname and use the title Ms.
In formal contexts, we sometimes use Master for boys and Miss for girls. Miss also indicates single status (not married). The use of Miss is becoming less common among younger women, and Master now sounds old-fashioned.
Parents and grandparents
We use mother (usually formal), mum, mam, mummy (less formal) mom (American English) to talk to a mother, and father (usually formal), dad, daddy, papa (less formal) to address a father. For a grandmother we use gran, grandma, nana, nan, and for grandfather we use grandad, grandpa, granpy, gramps, pops:
Mum, you're going to be really pleased to hear this.
I can borrow your car, can't I, Gran?
Terms of endearment
We use terms of endearment for people we are very close to or to whom we want to show affection or friendship. They include: darling, dear, poppet (usually to a little child), love, luvvie, sweetheart. They may combine with names:
Can you lock the car, darling?
Peter, love, could you take this to the post-box for me?
Groups of people
We use folks, guys, everyone/everybody, children, boys, lads, girls, ladies, gentlemen to address groups. Some of these are more formal. For example, ladies and gentlemen is more formal than folks or guys. Guys is used more and more for groups of both sexes, not just males:
OK, boys, could you all wait in the main hall, please.
Everybody, could you all hand in your evaluations as you leave, please.
Come, on guys, come and help!
Very polite terms of address
We use sir or madam most often in places such as shops or hotels where a service is being given. We use sir and miss to address male and female school teachers (but not teachers in higher education):
[in a shop: a shop assistant is addressing a customer]
How can I help you, madam?
[in a school classroom: a pupil is addressing the teacher]
Sir, she keeps talking all the time.
Addressing strangers
English does not have a standard polite way of addressing strangers. For example, it is very difficult to know how to attract the attention of a stranger. Hello, sorry or excuse me are most likely to be used. Sir! Madam! are not commonly used:
Sorry, you've dropped your scarf.
Excuse me, are you a friend of Sheila's?
Job titles
We don't normally call people by the name of their job or profession. Some jobs or professions which we can use as terms of address are: doctor (medical), driver, nurse, minister, officer, waiter:
Do you think it's serious, doctor?
Now, minister, can you explain this policy to us?
Excuse me, waiter, sorry, could I have some more bread, please?
We use Dr /ˈdɒktə(r)] for medical doctors and people with a doctorate qualification (PhD). We use a wide range of titles for jobs. Some common ones in business management are:
Chief Executive Officer CEO /si: i:əʊ/
Managing Director MD /em ˈdi:/
Financial Director FD /ef di:/
Chief Technical Officer CTO /si: ti: əʊ/
Vice-President VP /vi: ˈpi:/ (especially in the USA)
Chair/Chairperson/Chairman /ˈtʃeəmən/
We often use abbreviations:
Kapor was founder and CEO of Lotus.

Though most voters may have already cast their mail-in ballots for Silver Creek's Service Area 3 Board of Trustees election, the tension between two of the candidates is still very much alive, with water and trails proving to be issues of disagreement.
Len Bowes, who is one of four candidates running for two vacant positions on the Service Area 3 Lower District Board of Trustees, told The Park Record that he had decided to run for the position because of issues he had with the way water fees were imposed and calculated at his residence.
In an e-mail sent to The Park Record, Lower District candidate and current chair of the Service Area 3 Water Advisory Committee Betty Bauwens said that Bowes' water fees were for their use of unmetered water over the course of five years, due to a sprinkler system that was plumbed incorrectly around a meter.
Bowes confirmed that the unmetered water use did occur due to a contractor's mistake, but added that the WAC "under Betty's guidance wanted to impose a much greater fee" for Bowes' unmetered water than what was ultimately voted on. He added that Bauwens was the only one to vote for the WAC's initial estimate for his water bill, which he said was "unreasonable and unfair."
Bauwens said the WAC's estimate for Bowes' water bill came from the Mountain Regional Water District, as the WAC wanted a third-party estimate of the unmetered water. As the non-voting chair of the WAC, she said she had nothing to do with the estimate.
"I had nothing to do with any monetary [calculations]," Bauwens said.
Bowes went on to say that he thinks those who use less water should be rewarded. The current base monthly rate for residential water use is $81 per month, which includes 20,000 gallons. Overage fees occur if users go over 20,000 gallons in a month.
"For users that use less than half of that, they still have to pay that 20,000 [gallon a month] rate," Bowes said. "If I were on the Board, I'd incentivize people to use less water."
Bauwens said the WAC "does not have the freedom" to charge what it wants to, as base rates are controlled by the Utah Division of Drinking Water, through which the WAC is paying off bonds. She said she is in favor of not raising the base water rate and said she motioned not to raise it for 2014 at the October board meeting, which was passed.
Bowes suggested implementing a system in which users get to bank water that they don't use under the 20,000 gallon per month cap, which would allow them to avoid fees should they go over that amount. Bauwens again said that the WAC cannot control this.
"No one wants to pay more for water than they have to," Bauwens said. "We're trying to figure out a way to reward [those who use less water] that will not put us at risk."
Trail connectivity
In an e-mail sent to The Park Record, Bauwens wrote a question to residents of Silver Creek that said: "Is it realistic to think Silver Creek (established in the '60s) can afford to create 50 years worth of trails in our community in the course of a couple of years?"
In response, Bowes said, "What has really been done in Silver Creek for trails? There's been more done in two years than [Bauwens] has ever done. Her voting record does not support trails that's pretty clear."
Bauwens said Bowes is "absolutely wrong" about her voting record on trails, and added she was one of two individuals to draw the East-West Wasatch Connector Trail on the map four years ago. She said trails are important but said, "I don't think we need them as quickly as we're trying to get them."
Both spoke in favor of the East-West trail, for which Silver Creek and Basin Recreation are applying for a joint Recreation, Arts and Parks tax grant through Summit County.
Lower District candidates who are running for two vacant positions include Eileen Galoostian, Len Bowes, Betty Bauwens and write-in candidate Marcello Occon. Upper District candidates include Brad Iverson and write-in candidate Michael Montgomery.
Any Silver Creek residents who have not received a ballot should contact Kathy Handsaker at (435) 649-4286 to receive one. Ballots must be postmarked by Nov. 4 or can be dropped off on Election Day at the Service Area 3 Well House, 956 Echo Lane.

The soon-to-be-inducted WWE Hall of Famer Ultimate Warrior is currently rumored to have a return match at the biggest show of the year Wrestlemania 30, according to a report posted Friday by f4wonline.com. If Warrior does indeed perform in this potential match, it would be special as he has not competed in WWE since 1996 and it would be his first pro wrestling match since 2008. Wrestlemania 30 airs live on pay per view from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday April 6th.
The match has not yet been confirmed or even teased on WWE TV, but Warrior's proposed opponent in the Wrestlemania bout is said to be the monster Ryback. Late last year, Ryback was reportedly being paired with WCW star Goldberg for a comeback match in some WM30 plans. The Goldberg return engagement is said to be "dead due to money issues" according to Wrestlezone.
WWE got the wrestling world buzzing two weeks ago when they announced the Warrior's upcoming Hall of Fame induction even though he has history of legal and personal conflicts with WWE boss Vince McMahon. The induction has had it's critics including fellow 80's wrestling star Jake 'the Snake' Roberts. Roberts badmouthed Warrior during an interview with Sirius XM radio last, only to take the comments back days later in a lengthy post on his Twitter account.
Pro Wrestling Examiner's Perspective: Well, muscle meets muscle in a grand collision if WWE does indeed get the Warrior to come out of the from shadows and square off with the Ryback. Both men are almost inversions of each other. For comic book fans, this match-up is reminiscent to this Examiner of Superman's battles with Bizzarro Superman, an evil regressive version of himself. No matter what, this match is not going to steal the show at the Superdome but it could definitely be a wild fun trainwreck of a match.

How many times have you heard that you must outsource to remain competitive? Crying We need to reduce labor costs… Surprised American's can't produce high quality industrial products? Well I thought a message about the opposite would influence the few -maybe save a few jobs, a few family incomes. We tend to have forgotten the long by gone days where the employee was treated well first, then the customer, then the shareholder– in that order…Well paid, tenured employees mean well fed and happy families who can then go to the store to buy products. Here is a good example of a company which stood its ground not only here but now exports its products from the US worldwide, Lincoln Electric.
Lincoln Electric produces arch welders for a variety of industries with its headquarters located in Ohio. Lincoln was established by John C. Lincoln and his brother in 1895 with a total investment of 200 dollars. In 2006 the company made 6 billion dollars. The brothers believed that a strong, motivated person through reward could accomplish great things. Everyone had the capacity in them to do extraordinary things and become who they wanted to be…
Could this still apply today?
Lincoln's treated everyone equal from manager to assemblyman, success was based on high levels of productivity, individual effort from its employees and the sharing of its gains as a company with consumers, employees and shareholders. Lincoln as a company practiced an open door policy where barriers to communication between "workers" and managers were eliminated. Lincoln's culture is merits based not privileged based on title or seniority. You are rewarded well for your work, if you work well. How can a company such as this still be competitive in today's economy?
Simple answer: The rules did not change, we think they did. As Lincoln Electrics business began to expand the company considered entering foreign markets. However they as a company were told the stereotypical adage: "American goods don't sell well in other countries" (being Europe)
Lincoln at the time (during the early 1990's) decided to accept the advice of its European distributor counterparts and began to set up wholly owned subsidiaries in other countries to manufacture Lincoln equipment locally.
However, it was not long before Lincoln's foreign ventures failed to deliver the gains forecast. This was because Lincoln's American organizational culture and work system was resisted in the countries with which it set up manufacturing and distribution locations. Local managers in those countries in which it owned subsidiaries were unwilling or unable to enforce Lincoln's individual effort, merit based corporate culture. Well, after roadblocks in Germany and Brazil, and issues in Japan and Venezuela, the company went with its heart and shifted to what they originally had planned to accomplish- exporting quality made arc welders to compete with those made locally in other countries.
And you know what, not only did they compete with other countries products on their own soil but out sold them on their own turf. Contrary to what foreign distributors had told them, their products did quite well in Germany. Lincoln did not have to set up partnerships in that country, but it could export their goods directly from America to them.
From then on the company focused on exporting welders and has done well, as it always has…made in America and made well, by well compensated employees. Here also is a YouTube video on what is needed to expand business globally.

Art Tatum: Tea for Two (1939)
Tea for Two (1939)
Art Tatum (piano)
Piano Grand Master (Proper Box 60)
Art Tatum (piano).
Composed by Vincent Youmans & Irving Caesar.
Recorded: Los Angeles, CA, April 12, 1939
Rating: 96/100 (learn more)
Listening to the first half of Tatum's 2˝-minute "Tea For Two," you might think you're hearing a cocktail pianist with the fleetest right hand in history, but still a cocktail pianist. When he shifts from rubato to up-tempo stride, however, hold onto your hats! To say this man could play jazz is like saying Aristotle could philosophize, Euclid was good at math, Rembrandt had a gift for portraiture, or Nixon could lie. Tatum's rapid-fire modulations require a mind as quick as his right hand, which was faster than a cardsharp anxious to catch the next riverboat. Dazzling.

Give a Gift Membership
With this gift of nature, Nature Conservancy magazine arrives all year long. Join
The Nature Conservancy has announced the hiring of Mr. Ricardo Sánchez López as its new Director of Sustainable Food Security. In this role, Sánchez will coordinate the efforts of the Latin America Conservation Council on this issue, one of three priority issues the Council has elected to focus on.
"There is a real commitment by the Council to make a difference on issues that matter to the people and biodiversity of Latin America," said Council Co-Chair and former U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson, Jr. "We are very pleased to welcome Mr. Sánchez to the team of professionals implementing the Council's vision, as we move forward to address food security by testing and bringing science-based solutions to decision-makers around the Region."
The Latin America Conservation Council (LACC) is a group of 35 business and political leaders from Latin America and other parts of the world, working in partnership with The Nature Conservancy, the world's largest environmental organization, to promote Latin America's sustainable future. The Council supports the development of innovative, pragmatic and scalable solutions to three of the region's greatest challenges: water security, sustainable food security, and smart infrastructure.
The Council's sustainable food security activities focus on bringing together a wide array of stakeholders —small- and large-scale producers, companies, research institutes, non-profits, financial institutions and governments— to simultaneously intensify production and discourage habitat conversion. Council actions promote the protection of key landscapes and seascapes through actions like greening supply chain management, models of sustainable grazing, farming and fisheries, and policy and incentive reform. Such models are already being used in several Latin American countries, and specific pilot projects are being implemented in Pará and Mato Grosso states in Brazil, the Llanos grasslands in Colombia, and Mexico's Baja California peninsula.
For the past two years, Mr. Sánchez López served as Vice-Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development of Colombia, leading a very demanding, broad and innovative agenda. Prior to this assignment, from 2004 to 2010, he worked as Secretary General to the National Farmers' Association of Colombia, one of the country's most influential and internationally acclaimed producers' associations. As Director of Agricultural Policy at the Ministry of Agriculture —from 2002 to 2004— he coordinated policy strategies in crucial Colombian sectors, such as agriculture, fisheries, cattle and forestry, which resulted in the promotion of a law aimed at a better use of agricultural land for long-term crops like cocoa, palm oil, fruits, forestry and rubber.
Born in Colombia, Ricardo holds a BA in Economics from the University of the Andes, with a minor in regional development and sustainable agriculture, and an MSc degree in Sustainable Agriculture from the University of London. He has worked on several studies linking trade and environment issues in Colombia's agricultural and textile sectors, among other topics.

Copying for research or study
- What you can copy
- How much can I copy for my research or study?
- Copying more than a reasonable portion: five factors to consider
- Copying artworks, images, diagrams & photos
- Can I adapt an existing diagram for research or study?
- Copying DVDs & TV programs
- Copying CDs & sound recordings
- Copying from the Internet
- Downloading DVDs, TV shows & music from the Internet
- Using electronic resources and databases
- Need more information?
What you can copy
Under the fair dealing provisions in the Copyright Act you can copy limited amounts of copyright material for your research or study.
Examples of the copying you can carry out for research and study include:
- copying research information for an assignment or a thesis
- copying material to read as part of your course
- copying articles for your research
- assembling information to write a journal article
- you do not have to be enrolled in a course – you can copy for private research or study
Under the research or study exception you cannot:
- make multiple copies for distribution to your friends
- load your assignment containing excerpts from a movie or sections of commercial music on MySpace or YouTube
- put copies of book chapters or articles on a blog
- copy material for teaching purposes
- put material online for students
- publish your work if it contains quotes from other people's work
How much can I copy for my research or study?
You can copy a reasonable portion from a literary or dramatic work or form sheet music or a score.
A reasonable portion is defined as:
- published hard copy literary, dramatic or musical works of more than 10 pages edition (excluding computer programs)
10% of the number of pages in the work
a single chapter if the work is divided into chapters
- published electronic literary or dramatic works (excluding computer programs or electronic compilations such as databases)
10% of the number of words in the work
a single chapter if the work is divided into chapters
- articles in periodicals
a single article from an issue of a print or electronic periodical. You can copy more than one article if you need them for the same course or same research
Copying more than a reasonable portion
There may be occasions when you can copy more than a reasonable portion for research or study without infringing copyright. However, this is not defined in the Act. You have to consider the following five factors and then decide if the copying you wish to do amounts to fair dealing.
|Five factors to consider
|Questions to ask
|Purpose and character of the dealing
|Is the copying really for study or research? If not your dealing is unlikely to be fair.
|Nature of the material
|It may be less fair to copy a highly complex work than a relatively simple one.
|Possibility of obtaining the material commercially
|Is the material commercially available? If so, copying the entire work is unlikely to be considered to be fair dealing.
|Effect of the dealing upon the potential market for the material
|Is the material commercially available? If so, copying the entire work is unlikely to be considered to be fair dealing.
|Amount copied in relation to the whole of the source material
|How much are you copying? It is more likely to be considered fair dealing if you copy a small or unimportant part than if you copy a significant or important part of the work.
Copying artworks, images, diagrams & photos
In the Copyright Act the category of artistic works includes the following:
- paintings, drawings and engravings
- images and diagrams
- sculptures
- photographs
- buildings and models of buildings
- maps and charts
- craftworks such as mosaics, jewellery and textile art
Copying 10% of an image or artistic work doesn't make sense in most cases so if you want to copy an artwork, image or diagram you need to consider the five factors before deciding if the copying amounts to fair dealing. If you feel your copying does not constitute fair dealing or is for commercial purposes you should seek the permission of the copyright owner.
Can I adapt an existing diagram for research or study?
It's difficult to give a definitive answer as each case has to be judged on its merits.
It is likely that adapting an image or diagram for the purposes of research or study would not be an infringement of copyright. You need to remember the moral rights clauses of the Copyright Act and acknowledge the creator of the original work. Any modifications you make to a work should not adversely affect the reputation of the creator or subject the work to derogatory treatment.
If you are planning to use the adapted diagram in a publication you may need to obtain permission after applying the following guideline: if you put the original work and your derivative work side by side and can still identify important or substantial parts of the original work in your derivative work, then you should obtain permission to make the changes and publish your derivative work.
Copying DVDs & TV programs
The Copyright Act does not specify the amount you can copy from a film, DVD or TV program for your research or study.
The following points may be helpful:
- you must consider the five factors before deciding if the copying you wish to do would be fair dealing
- you may be able to rely on the research or study exception to copy part of a DVD or TV program for your research or study. This includes incorporating an excerpt in an assignment or project.
- it is unlikely that copying an entire DVD that is available for purchase would be considered fair dealing under the research and study provisions.
- if you plan to use the copy for other purposes such as a public screening public or entering your project containing excerpts from a DVD or TV program in a competition you would need to obtain permission from the copyright owners.
Copying CDs & sound recordings
The Copyright Act does not specify the amount you can copy from a CD or sound recording for your research or study.
Note the following guidelines:
- you must consider the five factors before deciding if the copying you wish to do would be fair dealing.
- you may be able to copy a limited portion a such as a single track from a CD under the fair dealing provisions of the Copyright Act.
- it is unlikely that copying an entire CD that is available for purchase would be considered fair dealing under the research and study provision.
- under the Music Licence the University can copy and distribute CDs from the societies' repertoires for educational purposes. Your lecturer may be able to provide your class with copies of CDs relevant to your course.
- remember that the music industry takes a strong line on music piracy and is opposed to the copying of music. You can copy a CD that you own but this is only for your private and domestic use and not for your research or study.
Copying from the Internet
The Internet is not a copyright free zone – material on the Internet is protected by copyright just as print and other types of material are protected.
Some hints on copying Internet material for research or study may assist:
- you can copy a reasonable portion of an electronic document
- sometimes you may be able to copy more using the five factors test
- always check the terms of use for the website to establish the range of use that the owner allows - you may find that the website owner allows you to copy more than the minimum amount under certain conditions
Downloading DVDs, TV shows & music from the Internet
Take care when downloading movies, TV programs and music from Internet sites for research or study:
- many websites offering free downloads of current movies, TV programs and music are illegal sites which infringe copyright. The material has been included on the site without the permission of the copyright owners and downloading copies from these websites is likely to be a breach of copyright.
- only download movies and music from websites where you are sure that the material has been made available legitimately. Legitimate or licensed websites will usually charge a fee for downloading or clearly indicate that the copyright owner has authorised sharing of the material through the terms of use or a specific licence such as the Creative Commons licence.
- remember that use of file sharing sites can be tracked and that recently in the US individual students have received notice of legal action for downloading music unless they pay substantial royalties to music copyright owners.
- the University's Policy on the Use of Information and Communication Technology Resources (PDF) prohibits the use of University ICT resources to download and store copyright material which is not properly licensed. The University reserves the right to monitor and track the use of its resources. Penalties can be imposed for improper use of University ICT resources, including loss of access to ICT resources, suspension of candidature and disciplinary action.
- This Digital Content Guide is a place to find digital services that provide Australians with access to licensed music, movies, TV shows, games, eBooks and sport. On the site you can find information about different services and you can click through directly to them. Australians have a wide choice of licensed digital content services across different devices and platforms. The choices continue to grow. This site is designed to help you easily find the content you want from a licensed service.
Using electronic resources and databases
Use of electronic journals and databases subscribed to by the University Library is usually governed by the terms of contracts signed by the University. These contracts often override the Copyright Act although the amounts you can copy are similar to those specified in copyright legislation.
Generally, you will be able to print and download the material that you need for your research or study. Excessive downloading of material is not permitted by vendors who frequently monitor use of their databases.
When you access a database from the Library's website you will be asked to accept the usage conditions for the Library's electronic resources. A summary of the terms of conditions of use for each database is available from the Electronic Resources – databases section of the Library website.
Need more information?
The Australian Copyright Council has a number of useful information sheets on the fair dealing exceptions and research or study – see the information sheets entitled Fair Dealing and Research or Study for an overview of the main issues.
Note that copying for research or study is not the same as copying for Private and domestic use is not necessarily the same as copying for Research or study. There are some significant differences in the amounts you can copy and the use you can make of copies produced.

Light-toned layered deposits in Crater Terby and the Greater Hellas Region, Mars
Mars today is cold and dry and liquid water is not stable at the surface. There are several landforms that suggest the climate on Mars was once warmer and wetter - similar to Earth. Scientists have been intrigued by the discovery of layered deposits on Mars since they were recognized by Mariner 9 and Viking orbiters in the 1970s. Many of the layered deposits on Mars are light-toned, occur in crater interiors, and are characterized by thick, laterally continuous, repetitive sequences. There are many ways in which layered deposits can form on Mars, including volcanic, wind or water-related processes. The physical and chemical nature of the light-toned layered deposits in Terby crater and other craters around the great Hellas impact basin are consistent with deposition of material in a large, standing body of water much earlier in Mars' history.

I have 5pcs. IBM System x3650(7979 - ex. ESX/VMWare, planned EOL) now with baremetal Win2012 DataCenter, every machine has the same HW and SW (inc policy).
I want to create two clusters (MS SQL), for testing purposes. I can see three possible configurations:
Create two separate Failover Cluster: 3 nodes for primary environment, 2 nodes for secondary environment
Create two separate Failover Cluster: 2 nodes for primary, 2 nodes for secondary, last (switched off) as a substitute
Create one Failover Cluster (5 nodes / 4+1) and create one/two virtual(s) for primary/secondary environment
Would it be better to separate the environment to two farm or to create one farm with virtualization, my intended use is only MS SQL Clustering

I've got an oldish D820 that's got a 100% dead battery.
I know that I could, in theory, take it apart and replace bad cells in the battery. I'm not really comfortable with doing that.
I also know that there are various places that sell replacement batteries for 20% to 80% of the cost that Dell would charge.
Does anyone have any experiences with buying more than a couple of these off-brand batteries? If a battery goes boom, it could be really ugly, so I'd rather not risk it, but at the same time, the dell batteries are really expensive...
Any opinions on these ebay / off-brand battery vendors?

Jerry Palm of CBS Sports updated the new projected NCAA tournament bracket on Tuesday. We have a lot of familiar teams at the top, but the most interesting seeds have come from the teams vying for the final at-large bids.
At most, some teams have two games left in the regular season. However, many of the teams in contention for an At-Large spot, have one chance left to make an impression before all of the conference tournaments get underway.
College basketball's "Treat 16 Power Poll" released.
No.1 Seeds: (Florida, Wichita State, Arizona, and Syracuse) still remain on the top line, but there could be some changes by the middle of the week. For Wichita State, their regular season is done, so they are awaiting their moment in the MVC tournament to continue their undefeated season. Florida ran away with the SEC, but they aren't finished inflicting damage on the rest of the conference. Arizona is also two wins away in the regular season, or a conference tournament title from clinching a number one seed. Currently, Syracuse is the fourth No.1, but there are plenty of teams vying for that position as well.
Syracuse dropped the No. 7 in the AP poll.
Teams vying for At-Large bids:
Stock dropping
Xavier has had an up and down couple of weeks. After beating Creighton at home over the weekend, the Musketeers lost to Seton Hall. They dropped one seed line to No. 11.
It's hard to fathom Pittsburgh missing the tournament, but the Panthers have been reeling down the stretch. As a projected No. 10 seed, Pittsburgh dropped two spots according to Jerry Palm. They've lost four out their last six games, including three in a row at home.
Kansas State missed out on an opportunity to beat Oklahoma State, and they dropped one seed line to No. 10.
Florida has been the No. 1 overall seed, but should Wichita State garner that honor.
Stock rising
Oklahoma State has risen all the way up to a No. 9 seed. They've followed their seven game losing skid with a four game winning streak. The Cowboys have one game left against Iowa State. Their biggest key is to not lose two games in a row.
Due to other teams losing, Stanford moved up one seed line to No. 8. However, with a (9-7) conference record, the Cardinal can't afford to lose their final two games.
St. Joseph's out of the Atlantic 10 is also in a good position for an At-Large bid. Even though they are projected as a No. 9 seed, with six straight wins, St. Joseph's is close to being a lock in the tournament.
Notable Teams:
North Carolina has a 12 game winning streak and Jerry Palm has the Tarheels at a No.5 seed. By the time the real bracket is released, North Carolina could be as high as a No. 2 seed.
Kansas had a chance to take one of the No. 1 Seeds, but they lost to Oklahoma State on Saturday. Now that Joel Embiid is out for the regular season, Kansas will be vulnerable to another loss. Currently, the Jayhawks sit at No. 2.
Harvard is the No. 12 seed in the current projections. That's close to the cut line for an At-Large bid. However, they are one win away from winning the IVY League title. Could Harvard actually make the tournament without winning the conference? Not likely. There's never been two Ivy League teams selected for the NCAA tournament.

College Hockey:From demoted to dominant: Milner's turnaround mirrors that of Boston College
WORCESTER, Mass. — After Boston College defeated Minnesota-Duluth to advance to the Frozen Four, BC coach Jerry York referred to the GAGG rule: If you want to be a successful team, Get A Good Goaltender.
At midseason, though, the gagging on Chestnut Hill was of another variety. The Eagles, national championship material at the other five positions, were struggling in the net and those struggles were dooming the team to mediocrity.
From Nov. 5 through Jan. 21, the Eagles posted a 6-9-1 record. They no longer seemed likely to three-peat as Hockey East tournament champions, and a trip to Tampa and the Frozen Four appeared out of the question.
In the middle of that stretch, York finally sat starter Parker Milner for five games to give freshman Brian Billett and even little-used senior Chris Venti a try. The experiment failed abysmally. BC went 1-3-1 in those games, giving up a total of 15 goals in the losses.
The demotion had to hurt Milner, who'd waited for his shot during his freshman and sophomore years while John Muse starred between the BC pipes. Especially painful had to be Venti's start at Fenway Park, a game on the big stage that had slipped through Milner's fingers.
"Coming into your junior year, you want to be the guy," Milner said. "I'd love to say that I had a perfect attitude about it. Probably I didn't but I tried to do the best I could and support those guys."
More importantly, Milner worked his tail off, spending extra time in the mornings with goaltender coach Jim Logue and assistant coaches Mike Cavanaugh and Greg Brown.
York went back to Milner not because of what he saw lacking in the alternatives but rather because of what he saw in Milner.
"He elevated his practice game and his work habits," York said. "He deserved a better chance."
BC hasn't lost since. The Eagles take a 17-game winning streak into the Frozen Four.
In his first game back from the demotion, Milner allowed three goals to New Hampshire. Since then, he hasn't given up more than two in any contest. In those 16 games, he's allowed only 16 goals. In his last 10 games, he's been even better, giving up only seven.
And in this Northeast Regional, he posted back-to-back shutouts. The first came against Air Force and might have come with an asterisk since the Falcons played a very defensive-oriented game. In the regional final, however, BC and Milner were taking on Minnesota-Duluth, the No. 1 offensive team in the country with a host of elite scorers led by Jack Connolly. Once again, Milner stopped every shot, 33 of them in all, including 10 on Bulldogs power plays.
"I'd rank him right up there with the other goalies we saw this year," Jack Connolly said. "He made some huge saves."
Without question, BC's exceptional team defense factors in Milner's success in a major way, a point Milner makes in seemingly every news conference. But it takes more than just any old duffel bag to take back-to-back shutouts into the Frozen Four.
"Parker has been playing unbelievable," BC captain Tommy Cross said. "There are so few second chances. He's making the routine saves and making a couple saves a game that he has no business making."
As a result, there's no more gagging on Chestnut Hill. Jerry York has gotten his good goaltender. In fact, for BC, GAGG now stands for Got A Great Goaltender.

I am planning to reinstall windows on my computer (clean install, meaning formatting the disk).
I already have 2 partitions, C: and D:, and I already have my important stuff in D: (the same physical hard drive).
My Windows 7 license is an upgrade, not a full, therefore, I will not format C: first and then install Windows, but let the installation disc do the formatting and install.
When reinstalling Windows in C: with a clean install (formatting), is there ANY risk on deleting stuff on the D: partition, or is it perfectly safe?
Note that of course I do know that there are always risks and I should have another backup elsewhere of my stuff in D, but let's assume physical damage is not an issue. Is there still any software-related issue in the formatting process that may delete D:?
The whole point is that I want to fresh install windows 7 and I don't want to wait long for a complete D: backup, so should I just do it with no worries?

HTC Touch Pro3 coming this summer?
There's not a lot of verified info on this one, but it looks like a HTC Touch Pro3 could be released this summer (or in September the latest).
According to someone who claims to have talked with the main distributor for HTC in Europe, the Touch Pro3 is "much smaller and thinner" than the Touch Pro2.
Unfortunately, there are no photos of the HTC Touch Pro3 yet, and its features have not been disclosed. WMPoweruser says that the Touch Pro3 might be the HTC Tera (pictured below), which has a 3 inch WQVGA display, Wi-Fi, GPS, 3.2MP camera and a 600MHz processor.
I don't think the Touch Pro3 will have such a low-res display (WQVGA), so it's probably not the HTC Tera after all. Also, if the smartphone is introduced this summer, it will most likely not run Windows Phone 7 Series, but Windows Mobile 6.5 (or 6.5.3). However, unlike the HTC HD2, the Touch Pro3 might be upgradeable to WP7.

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 13 July 1846; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18460713-TC-JWC-01; CL 20: 229-230
Chelsea, 13 july, 1846—
Dearest, I hope the Seaforth Post-Office will exert itself, and endeavour to be punctual on this occasion for once! I send thee a poor little Card-case, a small memorial of Bastille-day,1 and of another day also very important to me and thee! My poor little Jeannie,—no heart ever wished another more truly "many happy returns";—or if "happy returns" are not in our vocabulary, then "wise returns," wise and true and brave, which after all are the only "happiness," as I conjecture, that we have any right to look for in this Segment of Eternity that we are traversing together, thou and I. God bless thee, Darling;—and know thou always, in spite of the chimeras and delusions that thou art dearer to me than any earthly creature. That is a fact, if it can be of any use to thy poor soul to know it. And so accept my little Gift, and kiss it as I have done; and say, In the name of Heaven it shall yet all be well; and my poor Husband is the man I have always known him from of old,—is and will be!—
I meant to write a longer Letter; but the moments are counted for me; and I am nearly roasted to death before starting. Such a passage in that Steamer: it seems to me I will never set foot in one again. I walked out to Addiscombe on Saturday afternoon; carrying a clean shirt and comb in my pocket; and did very well with that luggage,—and indeed very well altogether; the Lady "sick"; Baring engaged in agricultural donothingisms; nobody else there at all: a very quiet time, and even considerable sleep and rest; but this horrid baking for two hours on the River has spoiled all!— Much bewildered nonsense lying waiting for me; of which a word tomorrow.—— —— Bobus has not the strangles, no, he has only a "slight sore throat"; I mean to pack him off northward and to follow soon. This week probably.— Who is Mrs Bonham Carter?2 No other person has been here in my absence. I send a little Note of Jack's. I am roasting, and the stroke of 4½ is at hand. Adieu Dearest

The European Space Agency has just received the first signal from its Rosetta spacecraft in over two years. Ground controllers placed the solar-powered Rosetta spacecraft into sleep mode in June, 2011 to conserve power while the vehicle looped far from the sun. The dangerous - and apparently successful - maneuver allowed the spacecraft to synchronize orbits with its ultimate target, Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
During its hibernation, heaters periodically warmed the delicate electronics inside the spacecraft. To keep its solar panels pointed toward the sun, the craft was put into a slow spin. Since Rosetta couldn't contact Earth during its sleep period, scientists and engineers back on Earth could only wait and hope that the extraordinary efforts to keep the spacecraft warm had actually worked.
Over the next few days, ground controllers will check the spacecraft subsystems for functionality. If no major issues are found, Rosetta will continue its epic journey across the solar system that began in March, 2004 and included three Earth fly-bys, a Mars fly-by, and two asteroid fly-bys. Rendezvous with its ultimate target will occur in August, 2014. Rosetta carries a small lander that will attempt to "dock" with the comet soon after arrival, the first time a spacecraft has attempted a soft comet landing (NASA's Deep Impact was the first "hard" comet landing back in 2005).
Congratulations to the Rosetta team!!
(Disclaimer: Your Denver Space Industry Examiner has assisted the science team for the ALICE instrument aboard Rosetta. ALICE is a compact ultraviolet imaging spectrometer that has flown on several spacecraft, including the New Horizons mission to Pluto).

From birth, children instinctively reach out to explore and learn about the world around them. They love to touch, to taste; they turn inquisitively toward new sounds, smile at familiar voices; they reach for bright colors, explore interesting shapes. Learning is a process that involves all of the senses, especially touch, and the senses feed the child's absorbent and eager mind. Dr. Maria Montessori, Italy's first female physician, founded her method of education on this understanding of how children learn. Dr. Montessori created intriguing materials that invite children to manipulate and explore and that cultivate their individual initiative, curiosity and motivation, the key qualities of a life-long learner. Dr. Montessori also understood that the classroom should be carefully arranged to provide freedom to explore and the guidance from a carefully trained teacher. Learning becomes for all children a joyful path on which they are guided by their innate curiosity and delight in discovery.
A Litchfield Montessori School education plants the seeds of learning in the fertile ground of a child's natural curiosity and joy in discovery, thus nurturing through the school years the child's initiative to explore and to question, to engage with the world, to learn, and to emerge as a creative, imaginative, independent life-long learner. Classes are arranged in three-year age groups, each with its own carefully organized curriculum to accommodate the individual learning styles of each child: Young People's Community (15 months to 2 ½ years) Children's House (2 ½ - 6 years), Lower Elementary (6 – 9 years) and Upper Elementary (9-12 years).
Today researchers have confirmed Dr. Montessori's belief that intellectual skills develop when a child's learning process awakens as many senses as possible and when the child is happy. Montessori education engages children emotionally as well as physically with intriguing, hands-on materials and appropriately challenging concepts. As they grow through a Montessori education, children develop their aesthetic, artistic sense and learn both what Dr. Montessori called the Practical Life Skills of everyday living as well as the disciplines of language, mathematics, science, art, music, geography and history. They become confident and eager learners.
Research studies have shown that Montessori educated students are well prepared for life emotionally, socially and academically. Scoring well on standardized tests, Montessori children are above average in following directions, adapting to new situations, turning in work on time, listening attentively, taking responsibility, asking provocative questions, and enthusiasm for learning.
Why Choose Montessori?
"If we say, "We are respectful and courteous in our dealing with children, we treat them as we should like to be treated ourselves," we should have mastered a great educational principle and be setting an example of good education."
"The vision of the future is no longer of people taking exams and proceeding from secondary school to university but passing from one stage of independence to a higher by means of their own activity and effort of will."
"Some students learn without having ever received any lessons, solely through listening to the lessons given to others."

Hi Bob
Thanks for sharing the tracks. I think you've got a lot going for you here, you have a very authentic country voice. I particulary liked 'An easy Wind' (your voice is particularly good on this one) and 'Down In The Mine'.
I know that getting to know the gear is a steep curve but I think you've done a really good job here. The only 2 comments on the down side are controlling noise (hiss and crackle here and there) and maybe consider topping and tailing the tracks to get rid of the gap at the start of the tracks.
Otherwise you should be very pleased with your results!
look forward to hearing more.
Hi Bob, thanks for adding me as a friend. Would love to hear some of you playing.

Tralee Parade
2010-08-21 21:00:00
Today saw the first round of interviews taking place and although they went very well, there were lots of hoarse and nervous ladies. I'm not sure whether it was the ball last night that left them hoarse or if it was just the nerves!
All the Roses were on a high this evening getting ready for the highlight of the weekend, the big parade through the streets of Tralee. It has been a great night so far with what seems like the whole town turning up in support of the Roses. Along with all the residents of Tralee there are also plenty of celebrities around including former Roses.
I'm enjoying the weekend in Tralee, especially in my role as a new judge but I am a bit nervous about the live shows starting on Monday!

Degrees, Programs & Curricula
The University of Tennessee School of Music offers the Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Arts degrees as well as several minors in music.
Bachelor of Music Degree
The Bachelor of Music degree is the undergraduate professional degree in music. Its primary emphasis is the development of the skills, concepts, and sensitivity essential to the professional life of a musician. In any of the roles as performer, composer, scholar, or teacher, the professional musician must function as a practitioner who exhibits not only technical competence but also a broad knowledge of music literature, sensitivity in musical style, and insight into the role of music in the life of humankind.
BM – Music Education Concentration
- BM – Music Education Concentration – String Emphasis
- BM – Music Education Concentration – Woodwind/Brass/Percussion Emphasis

The BM in Music Performance degree prepares students for further study in music performance (Masters Degrees) or for careers as private teachers. Graduates with this degree have successful careers with symphony orchestras or military bands.
The Bachelor of Music in Piano Pedagogy is designed for students who desire a career in keyboard teaching in private studio or who wish to pursue graduate work with the goal of teaching at the college/university level. Graduates of this program go on to successful careers teaching piano in a private studio or at a college or university.
BM – Sacred Music Concentration
- BM – Sacred Music Concentration – Organ Track
- BM – Sacred Music Concentration – Piano Track
- BM – Sacred Music Concentration – Voice Track
The Bachelor of Music degree in Sacred Music is designed for those students who want to pursue a career as a church musician. There are three tracks in this degree program: piano, organ and voice.
Graduates of the sacred music program have successful careers as Directors of Music of conductors of music in a church setting. Several of our majors have also continued their studies in music or related subjects such as ministry or religious studies.
The B.M. in Studio Music & Jazz is designed for those who want a professional career as a creative musician, focusing on improvisation and learning to deal with the jazz idiom. Our graduates have full time careers as jazz recording artists/performers, Broadway pit musicians, orchestral musicians, touring and recording artists in the Americana, Rock, Country, R & B, and Christian music genres. In addition many of our graduates have gone on to successful graduate study at other university and are involved in teaching at every level from guitar lessons for five year olds to college jazz directors.
BM – Theory / Composition Concentration
- BM – Theory/Composition Concentration - Composition track
- BM – Theory/Composition Concentration - Theory track
At the University of Tennessee, the undergraduate majors in theory and composition are combined into one degree program. The Bachelor of Music in Music Theory/Composition program is designed to train students in music theory and analysis as well as composition. Students may elect an emphasis in music theory, composition, or electronic composition within the degree plan.
Graduates of the theory/composition program have gone on to study theory or composition at prestigious doctoral schools. Other graduates have decided to study in related fields such as film studies. Ultimately, our graduates teach theory and/or composition at the college or university level, or have careers as composers or arrangers.
Bachelor of Arts Degree
This program is designed for those students who have a strong interest in music, but desire a comprehensive liberal studies program. There are two concentrations for the BA: Music and Music & Culture.
The BA degree provides an appropriate background for prospective candidates for advanced degrees who are preparing for such careers as musicologists, composers, music librarians, arts administrators, and music therapists.
- BA – Music Major – Applied music concentration
The Bachelor of Arts in Music degree program is intended to provide students with a comprehensive liberal studies program and specialized training in music.
- BA – Music Major – Music & Culture concentration
The B.A. in Music & Culture degree engages students in the study of music from the perspective of humanistic and social science scholarship. Students study music from the perspectives of research, criticism, and interpretation with an emphasis on historical and ethnographic scholarly approaches. The degree's goal is to highlight music as a culturally expressive form rather than solely as an objectified art.
Music Minor
Music minors are offered on a space available basis to all University students by audition. The music minor program gives students an opportunity to improve and enrich their study of music without making a professional commitment to the field.
- Music Minor – Applied Music
- Music Minor – Music & Culture
- Music Minor - Music Business
- Music Minor – Music Composition
- Music Minor – Music Theory
School of Music Honors Program
The School of Music offers an honors program for exceptional undergraduate students. Students wanting to enter the music departmental honors program must have a cumulative GPA of 3.5, a music GPA of 3.5, and a recommendation from a faculty member. The recommendation is sent to the student's major area (e.g., voice, jazz, education, musicology, theory) to be approved. Once the area approves the student for entrance to the honors program, a letter will be sent to the School of Music's Associate Director for Undergraduate Studies admitting the student to the music departmental honors program.
Teacher Licensure Programs
The School of Music offers two options that prepare students to teach music in public schools, both of which lead to the degree and to teaching licensure. Students may choose to student teach for one semester or one year (an internship). The internship option provides for the granting of the degree at the end of four years, with teacher licensure being awarded after a fifth-year, graduate level internship. Students choosing the internship option earn twenty-four graduate hours, which may be applied to the Master's degree.
Double Majors
Many students decide to double major, some choosing to choose two different music majors (e.g., music education and performance), while others choose music and another liberal arts academic area (e.g., Music and Business). Students wishing to double major within music should talk to their advisor or the Associate Director for Undergraduate Studies in the School of Music.

BOULDER Ś There were limericks. Recollections. Self-deprivation. Detailed game recounts. Confessions. Even a gubernatorial candidate. The sixth class inducted Thursday night into the University of Colorado Athletic Hall of Fame had it all, and then some.
As the evening progressed, it was revealed that all the inductees were connected in one fashion or another. The most common link was the posthumous member of the class, former sports information director and associate athletic director Fred "The Count" Casotti. He was the PR man for the 1959 ski team, CU's first national champion in any sport, and for the first two years for All-American football player Bobby Anderson; he accompanied many members of several CU ski teams to the Olympic games, tutored Bill Marolt as a student-athlete, coach and then as athletic director; and was a close friend of football coach Bill McCartney.
Adam Goucher, one of the top collegiate distance runners of all-time, said he practically begged Marolt to hire current CU cross country and track coach Mark Wetmore after Jerry Quiller accepted a similar position with Army. Goucher and Marolt are also two of just three CU athletes to have won four individual NCAA titles in their careers. Marolt extended McCartney's contract in the middle of a 1-10 season in 1984 when it was not a popular move to do so with the fans and media.
Anderson would span three decades as the sideline reporter, calling CU games for KOA-Radio and knowing everyone associated with football at his alma mater. The head coach of the '59 ski team, Bob Beattie, recruited Marolt to CU, and later as a reporter and announcer for ABC, was "activated" from the roof of the press box in 1986 to report live on CU's 20-10 stunning upset of No. 3 Nebraska, called at the time "The Turning Point" for the Buff football program.
Those were just some of the links of the entire group, officially inducted before better than 500 in attendance at the Omni Interlocken Hotel & Resort in Broomfield. Mark Johnson of KOA served as the master of ceremonies, while Larry Zimmer, who Johnson referred to as "the soundtrack of CU athletics since 1971" had the honor of introducing all the inductees. Assistant Athletic Director Bill Harris, who oversees the C-Club, and athletic director Mike Bohn, made introductory comments.
The crowd included several previous inductees (Eddie Crowder, Lisa Van Goor, Dick Anderson, Joe Romig, Jimmie Heuga, Carroll Hardy), members from the Board of Regents, past and present (Pete Steinhauer, Jerry Rutledge, Steve Bosley, Peter Dietze), former and current student-athletes (Cliff Branch, William Harris, Alfred Williams, Kanavis McGhee, Kara Grgas-Wheeler Goucher, Blake Anderson, Barry Remington, Lance Carl, Derek West, Jay Leeuwenburg, Paul Rose, Bill Coleman, Charles Johnson, Jim Kelleher, Phil Irwin, Jim Phillips, Bart Bortles, Kirk Tracy, Mike Pruett, Rocky Martin, Ron Scott, Bruce Heath, Sandy Bean, Liz Brugger, Tera Bjorklund, David Thistle, Dave DeLine, Jed Schuetze among dozens), former and current head coaches (Dan Hawkins, Ricardo Patton, Kathy McConnell-Miller, Pi'i Aiu, Nicole Kenneally, Anne Kelly, Roy Edwards, Bruce Cranmer, Gary Barnett), former athletic director Dick Tharp, former Big 8 Commissioner Chuck Neinas, several staff members past and present, and National Football Foundation executive director (and former CU SID) Steve Hatchell.
Here's a look at some of the evening's comments from all of the members of the Hall of Fame class:
The 1959 National Champion Ski Team
First up was the 1959 ski team, the first to win an NCAA championship for CU in any sport, doing so in classic fashion by defeating rival DU by 5.8 points.
"It was special for so many reasons," Beattie remembered. "Not only because it was the first for the ski team as well as for the university, it was the first NCAA ski title won by a team comprised solely of American kids. DU was mostly made up of international skiers, so we wanted to prove that we could win with Americans.
"It was front page news back then," he added, recalling that it was prior to Denver blossoming as a pro sports town. "CU-DU was the in-state rivalry, and to beat DU and my good friend Willy Schaeffler was something special."
Beattie also recalled his close relationship with Casotti. "I wouldn't be here if it weren't for Fred," he acknowledged.
Six members of the team returned for the ceremony: Frank Brown, John Dendahl, Norris Durham, Gary Gisle, Bob Gray and Harold Shaeffer. Dendahl, who is running as the Republican candidate for governor in New Mexico against incumbent Bill Richardson (www.dendahlforgovernor.com), also paid tribute to Casotti. "There isn't one of us who doesn't miss having 'Casotts' up here with us tonight. He was one of us, and he was terrific."
Bill Marolt
"It's a humbling experience to come back to your university, a place where you grew up and spent a good part, a special part, of your life," Marolt said in his opening comments.
"When you receive an award like this, it's special. The University of Colorado is a special place. You make a lot of friends along the way, and the bonds you forge with those people are ones that are with you for the rest of your life. It's great to come back and reminisce."
Marolt's association spanned almost four decades from athlete to coach to athletic director. He was at the helm when CU built the state of the art Dal Ward Athletic Center in just nine months following CU's 1990 national championship in football, perhaps his crowning jewel of many accomplishments in a successful career on all three levels. But he cited two people in particular that meant the most to him while at CU.
"Bob Beattie was a special individual in my life," he said. "An unbelievable coach and mentor for me to this day. And as a student, and after as a coach and especially as athletic director, when I needed advice, who could lay it all out for me, well, I always called 'The Count."
Adam Goucher
The only individual inductee who lives out of state (Portland, Ore.), he returned with his wife, Kara, herself a candidate for future induction for her long list of accomplishments in women's cross country and track.
"It's been quite a whirlwind for a month-and-a-half since I first received Bill's (Harris) e-mail that I was being inducted," he said. "It was a pleasant surprise. I am so blessed to be going into the Hall with such an amazing class and to be able to say thanks to the people at CU for everything they did for me.
"I have so many amazing memories of CU," he continued. "Running on the CU campus, working out at Dal Ward, working out at Potts Field, and our long-running joke of avoiding the pothole in lane one, now that built character," he mused.
"Taking the starting line with your teammates and wearing the black and gold. The support from the athletic department and the Boulder community was just tremendous."
An 11-time All-American who won four NCAA titles, when asked about what his fondest memory of CU was, without hesitation he said, "The 1998 NCAA cross country title. It was the last event of my senior year, and to go out on that note was a dream come true."
He recalled that after Quiller had accepted a job at West Point, he went in and spoke to Marolt about promoting Wetmore to head coach. "I was practically begging him to hire Mark Wetmore as head coach. I basically told him that if Mark stays, I stay, and if he goes, I go. It wasn't an ultimatum, but I'd like to think my input was valued.
"Coming in under the reign of Mark, who was and is one of the toughest and most brilliant distances coaches ever, well, I wanted that challenge," Goucher said. "There is no way that I would have been able to accomplish what I have been able to without him. He taught me that success comes from hard work and determination, and that is still with me today."
The Late Fred Casotti
Zimmer recalled that when he was working at a Columbia, Mo., radio station, "Everyone couldn't wait to get the CU release, which in those days was mailed and would usually arrive on a Wednesday. They always led off with a poem or limerick, and often it wasn't rated PG."
Fred's daughters, Candy Nesheim and Christine Reichmann, accepted the honor for their father, who passed away five years ago to the day of his induction (Oct. 12, 2001), making the evening that much more emotional for the family. But they held their own, and Candy was the designated spokesperson for the family.
"On behalf of Chris and I, and the entire family, I certainly want to thank the University of Colorado for honoring our dad," she started. "Dad used to say that his wife, his children and CU were the loves of his life and in that order, though we used to kid him that CU was really number one.
"What is most fitting is that he would be inducted with some of his closest friends, Bob 'Beats' Beattie, Bill 'Will-dog' Marolt, Bobby 'BA' Anderson; dad gave nicknames to everybody... and the only other Detroit Tiger fan on the entire campus, Coach Bill McCartney."
The family selected four of his most popular limericks to recite, including a two-liner after CU defeated Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl to win the 1990 national championship: "The Rocket had us in the bag, until a protestant threw a flag."
To truly honor their father, they had to end with a special limerick, which was conceived by several family members:
The state of affairs at old CU
Has been knocked down and stepped on too
But we've been down that road before
And have always come back to even the score
So need not worry, panic or stress
We've still got Plato to clean up the mess
Remember that every era must write their own story
To bring the Buffaloes back to glory
Fred would no doubt be proud.
Bobby Anderson
Anderson, who will also be honored this weekend as the fourth CU player to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, virtually recounted the 1967, 1968 and 1969 seasons game-by-game for the audience, reeling off accurate scores and statistics like he was reading straight from the media guide.
His love affair with CU started well before he put on a CU uniform. "Dick and I grew up in Boulder, and our heroes were the guys on the '61 Big Eight champion team," he recalled.
"I was selling Coca-Cola in the stands in 1961 when Kansas was leading CU 19-0. Count Casotti always said that (quarterback) Gale Weidner was great at leading comebacks. Well, Kansas had John Hadl, but Weidner kept hitting pass after pass and before you knew it, CU had won 20-19. It was the largest comeback until a rally at Missouri in 1978 where Bill Solomon led the Buffs back from 20 down.
"Eddie (Crowder) recruited me out of Boulder High School, and he would become one of the most influential people in my life. 'Poise is the product of preparation' is a phrase Eddie often used that has carried me through life, whether it was football or business. People don't realize it, but I counted it up and Eddie defeated 10 coaches who are now in the College Hall of Fame. Guys like Bear Bryant, Joe Paterno, Woody Hayes, Bill Yeoman.
"I was so very fortunate to play for a man like Eddie Crowder, and to have a lot of great teammates as well," he added. "Any honor I've ever earned is a tribute to all of them, because it was really those guys who made it all possible."
He referenced many games throughout his career, especially the Indiana game in the snow in '69 where "Bill Brundige and Herb Orvis were just slopping their guys right into the snow. They wanted no part of Colorado and we won 30-7." He also cited his last game, a 47-33 win over Alabama in the Liberty Bowl. "What I remember from that one is Bear Bryant coming into our lockerroom after the game to congratulate us. What a class individual."
Bill McCartney
McCartney was the final inductee to speak, keeping with the tradition of since he became associated with CU, no one could follow him once he left the podium. Just not possibleŚit would be akin to Vanilla Ice following Paul McCartney.
"Most of you know that in Chuck Fairbanks' career here (his predecessor), CU won seven games in three years," McCartney opened with. "Then in my first three years, we also won seven games. The 14 wins were the fewest in the NCAA for those six years. We had to die to get better.
"It was so bad that my wife Lyndi once parked our car, locked it, and had left two tickets to a game on the dashboard. When she came back, someone had broken in and had left two more," he joked.
Mac then turned serious. "CU Ś it's a maximum experience Ś nobody can match what we've got. This is an extraordinary place, can't nobody offer the package that CU can offer. You wake up every morning here, open your window, and just go, 'Wow.'"
He recounted his hiring back in the summer of 1982, when Fairbanks informed then-athletic director that he was leaving CU for the fledgling United States Football League.
"Chuck left June 1, 1982, and no head coach could really justify leaving his team at that point of the year, so it figured that Eddie was going to hire an assistant coach," he said. "There was something like 80 or 90 references for other candidates, except for this one guy who none, this guy named McCartney.
"Eddie assigned Fred to show me around. Now I'm fired up, and I said to Fred, 'What are my chances?' He responded, 'It's third and long. You'd better make a big play.' Now the format for the interview called for me to just answer some questions, but after what Fred had said to me, I decided to open with a speech. I spoke for about 15-20 minutes before I took any questions.
"Later that night, I asked him again, 'Mr. Casotti, what are my chances?' And this time he said, 'You know, I think it's fourth and short.' Sure enough, 24 hours after I had come to campus, they offered me the job."
He cited the team effort to rebuild the program. "We had tremendous coaching talent," Mac noted. "There were twelve guys on my staffs that were or went on to be head coaches. I pulled out a (CU) media guide today and figured out that we had sixty-eight guys make it in the NFL. Sixty-eight. We were blessed."
He ended with, "Someone once said, 'Gratitude is the attitude that sets the altitude for living.' If this is true, then the McCartney family is living high."
And with that, the University of Colorado had inducted class number six into its Athletic Hall of Fame, with the seventh edition to be selected in the fall of 2008. In the meantime, this year's group will be honored Friday night on the Boulder Mall (7 p.m.) and at halftime of Saturday's football game against Texas Tech (kickoff is at 1:30 p.m.).

The Gingrich balloon is leaking air. He is beginning to look more and more like Howard Dean. The latest Rasmussen caucus poll shows him dropping three points behind Mitt Romney (23 to 20) after leading by 13 points (32-19) just a month ago.
I won't say I told you so, but I did. The nomination process is controlled by ideologues, but even ideologues — and sometimes especially ideologues — want to win. Newt Gingrich didn't do a Rick Perry or a Herman Cain in the past month; he didn't mess up on which cabinet departments he wanted to eliminate or which Libya he was being asked about. He faded because the bright lights got too bright. The stories of his finances, some of his wackier ideas, and his notorious temper started making the rounds that count, in turn making it far more difficult for his supporters, let alone the undecideds and the leaners, to mount a convincing case that he could beat Barack Obama.
And so Romney, whose numbers have hovered between 17 percent and 21 percent in Iowa for the past five months, jumped to 23 percent. Conservatives who swallowed hard to accept the nouveau conservative John McCain last time around may have to do the same thing with the born-again Romney.
But the fat lady isn't singing yet. If you look at where Gingrich's 12 points and Cain's 10 points went, it seems significant that only three went to Romney. Perry picked up four points. But the biggest "surge" — if you can call it that — went to Ron Paul, who picked up eight points.
President Paul? I don't think so. Paul is about to be held under the same bright lights that burned Gingrich, and he's not likely to fare very well. Gingrich may be off the beaten track, but Paul isn't even in the same forest.
Paul a Democrat's dream
Paul is a member of the House of Representatives. No one has been elected president from the House in my lifetime. This is his third run for the presidency. He ran as a Libertarian in 1988 and as a Republican in 2008. According to a scoring system created by the American Journal of Political Science, Paul is the most conservative member to serve in Congress between 1937 and 2002 — of all 3,320 members.
It's not hard to understand why. Among other things, and this list could get really long, Paul argues that the United States should withdraw from the United Nations. He wants to totally abolish the income tax. He thinks the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was an unwarranted intrusion into the labor market. As a doctor, he didn't accept Medicare. As a member of Congress, he refuses a pension. He thinks NAFTA didn't go far enough in promoting free trade.
Running against Paul for president is a Democrat's dream come true. Having him run as a third-party candidate is almost as good. Believe me, Paul won't be taking votes from Obama.
Equally important, the press needs Paul as much as conservatives do. A nominating campaign that takes days or weeks on the Republican side and doesn't exist on the Democratic side is hardly a way to sell papers, win ratings, or keep legions of political reporters and talking heads employed and engaged.
At the end of the day, the question is less about who will be left standing (that would be Romney) and more about who can stand with him for longer than a few weeks.
America's political press will not go gently into the night. They need a two-man race, at least, but Republicans are having trouble finding that second man. Will Gingrich resurge? Will the press give Perry a second chance? Will Paul be able to hang in once the kitchen gets hot?
It would certainly be good for Romney to wrap up the nomination early. But if he does so because the rest of the field is viewed as ridiculously weak, he will be unable to claim the mantle of true triumph over a worthy opponent that propelled Obama last time around. Being the biggest dwarf is not the same as being big enough to be president.
