"This is actually my first game at Folsom Field even though I'm a senior, which is sad," Parnes said.
Yes, it is sad. I realize that not everyone is a sports fan, but only 6530 in attendance? Well I am sure the team was hoping for more of a turn out than that.
I wasn't there either. I was one of the 64,000 plus at Sanford Stadium watching the University of Georgia spring game. Now, before all of you start your comments about not having anything to do in Georgia other than football while in Colorado you have all those 'outdoor' activities. The Masters was going on nearby, the Braves were playing, Spring Break was happening and tons of other outdoor activities going on in the burbs and Atlanta.
Go Buffs.

Excuse me Mr. Chicagoan bike rider. What part of Chicago are you from? I was born and raised in Chicago, rode a bike in Chicago as a resident and as a visitor. My wife and I visit the city at least once a year and now that her parents have passed on we usually stay somewhere near Michigan Avenue. . My sister-in-law has a town house on the Near North side. I am always amazed at how frequently I see what I consider to be RUDE cyclists (yes Coloradans, even ruder than our spandex guys). They come out of anywhere, going against the traffic, wrong side of the road, running lights, stop signs, cutting off pedestrians and cars. And most of them don't wear helmets, that's their choice that doesn't affect me. I have read recently that Chicago has been recognized by some magazines or somebody has a friendly bike city. I don't see that. Don't get me wrong. Chicago is my home town and I still love visiting. Great museums, zoos, much better than Denver. Great places to eat; great theatre, etc. etc. But, what I don't like about Chicago are the yet to win World Series Cubs, the Bears that blew it again, the White Sox, and yes the politics, and bike riders. The last time I brought my road bike to Chicago and rode along Lake Shore Drive, I almost got mugged down near 35th Street. Yes should have known better to ride down there. I will take Boulder and Colorado any time over Chicago for cycling.

I just visited "Rate My Professors". From I could tell from reading the comments were that many students liked Adler and rated her high. What brought her overall rating down was the 'easiness' of the course category. Seems like she challenges students.
NOW, go look up Hillary Potter. Pardon the play on words, but Potter is calling the pot Black? Overall rating of 2.4?

AAUP Colorado Conference Condemns University
On December 18, 2013, the AAUP Colorado Conference issued the statement below.

Statement Regarding University of Colorado and Professor Patti Adler
The AAUP Colorado Conference condemns the University of Colorado’s treatment of sociology professor Patti Adler as a clear violation of academic freedom and an unwarranted infringement on Professor Adler’s professional obligation to choose effective instructional methods to communicate disciplinary knowledge in her classroom. The reported concerns of CU administration, first, that Professor Adler may have violated federal institutional research protocol and, second, that Adler’s classroom role playing presentation potentially violates federal sexual harassment policy, if correctly reported, have no bases in principle or in fact and appear to inaccurately characterize the reach of either of these important social protections. Institutional Review Boards are clearly limited to supervising research, not teaching. Sexual harassment protection does not justify restriction of academic freedom except where an intent to harass is manifestly evident or a hostile environment is shown to exist,* the circumstances of which have not been established in this case and thus should not be presumed absent formal grievance and investigation. The fact that Professor Adler has taught her class using this role playing exercise for 20 years without complaint is certainly strong circumstantial evidence against such allegation. The AAUP Colorado Conference hereby urges CU administration to uphold academic freedom and hereinafter respect Dr. Adler’s pedagogical judgment in classroom in the absence of procedurally credible evidence of any misconduct.

Stephen P. Mumme, Ph.D., Co-President, AAUP Colorado Conference

My long list of worthless college courses: All the theology classes I had to take as a Catholic; my 15 hours of Philosophy that were required; two years of Latin; two years of German (why, we are an English speaking country?), General Psychology, Shakespeare (boy there was a a deviant guy); And Poetry? All my history classes; all we talked about were wars,ethnic cleansing, religious wars, incest, slavery, to mention a few topics. Of course none of these fall into 'deviant' behavior. Music Theory, boy was that a waste of time, what did I do with that class? ROTC, required. No comment. So what is left? Calculus, that's pretty safe. No titillating entertainment there. Oh my biology classes where we dissected animals. Boy did that excite me! Chemistry, learned how to make explosives. Physics, another very exciting, titillating class. Yes, my college career was filled with worthless college courses. That's why I had to go to med school to get away from all that erotic influence!
