Making the call early since the forecast is

Subject: [gru] Boulder Field Change?

Why the change of Spring league fields to Broomfield? Also, any news
on the possible fields off Valmont? I can't wait for the day Boulder
Ultimate is actually played IN Boulder again!

This free, beginner-oriented clinic will begin at
11am on Sunday. We'll do skills and drills for
about an hour and then hopefully scrimmage,
assuming we have enough women. Bring a light
and dark shirt for the scrimmage.

Weather Note: The clinic will only be held if the
temperature is 40 degrees or above. The current
forecast is for snow and 43 degrees, but things
change quickly. PLEASE check your email and  the
weather before heading to Foothills Community Park
(Violet Fields) on Sunday.

Pray for good weather!

Hope to see a few people at the Pub  tonight for
picking up flyers to recruit women for spring league
and announce the two women's clinics (3/2, 3/15).
I'll be there until 6:30pm and I hate to drink alone.

If ya can't make it, the flyers are on the GRU website
for downloading and distribution.

Thanks.

Why the change of Spring league fields to Broomfield?  Also, any news

Ultimate is actually played IN Boulder again!

The City of Boulder has two opportunities to teach youth ultimate
frisbee.

The first is a volunteer position on Tuesday, March 4th from 5:30 -
7:00pm at the North Boulder Recreation Center Gymnasium (an outdoor
park is available if the weather is nice).  The instructor would be
working with 10-15 middle school aged children in our Youth Services
Initiative (YSI) program to begin teaching them the fundamentals of
ultimate frisbee.  Most of the children in the YSI program have
never thrown a frisbee before so the emphasis will be on basic
skills and creating a fun environment.  If the initial class goes
well there might be more opportunities to work with this same group
the following Tuesdays during the month of March.  As a volunteer
you would receive a 4 month City of Boulder Rec Center pass!

The second opportunity is a paid position as an instructor for our
spring Youth Ultimate Frisbee class.  The class runs from 4pm-5:30pm
on Fridays from April 11 – June 13th at the Summit Middle School
fields.  The students' age range, skill and experience will vary
greatly.  The instructor should be comfortable teaching basic to
intermediate/advanced skills.  Last fall was our first time running
this class and we had great success with 13 students signing up!  We
hope to grow the class and build our program.  All applications for
this position must be completed through the City of Boulder's
website (www.bouldercolorado.gov).

Please let me know if you are interested in either of the positions
by emailing me at mulderj@....

There is still space available in our Sunday, March 16th Youth
Ultimate Frisbee clinic.  Email me for details or a flyer to post.
Our spring Youth Ultimate Frisbee class flyer will be on our website
(www.bouldercolorado.gov) soon but if you want one to post or hand
out just drop me a line (mulderj@...).

Thanks,

Joe Mulder

If ya can't make Wednesday's flyer distribution
(see previous posting), you can download and
print the flyer(s) from th GRU website
(homepage, scroll down).

Thanks for the emails thus far wanting to help
out! Also, thanks to Derek S. for creating the
cool flyers.

e.

Help us recruit women for spring league by distributing
flyers throughout Boulder County and Broomfield. We'll
also have flyers for the two upcoming FREE women's
clinics in March.

I'll be at the Boulder Beer Pub from 5:30 -- 7 p.m.,
on Wednesday, Feb 27 with flyers. We need people to
hang them in rec centers, health clubs and other such
locations.

Thanks for your help.

e.

Is it possible/feasible to play in both the GRU and CUA leagues?
Which league is bigger/better competition?

Both are on Sunday, GRU in Broomfield, CUA in Commerce City.  CUA runs
March 16 to May 18, GRU runs from March 23 to June 1.

Adam

That's right--we're hosting two women's
clinics this spring. Our first clinic is scheduled
for Sunday, March 2 from 11am-1pm. This
clinic is geared toward beginners and newbies,
but all skill levels are welcome.

Assuming we get enough women, we'll likely
have a good scrimmage after the clinic.

The second clinic is on Saturday, March 15 from
1-3pm  and is geared more toward advanced or
intermediate players.

Both clinics will be at the Foothills Community
Park (off Broadway and Violet). A flyer will be
available to distribute in the next few days.

Pass on the info to all your women friends.

Hello my creative friends - Remember KGNU's Prairie Dog Sculpture
Auction from a few years back? Well, here is the next phase of Art in
Public Places. If you're not interested, please pass it on or just
delete. Others... read on!

Helen



Hi All,
Just a reminder that KGNU is launching an Art in Public Places Project
titled *Radioland*. Below is a description and important dates for
participation. If you are an Artist, or have some friends who might want to
participate, please forward this far & wide. Thanks in advance, Joanne

In May of 2008 KGNU will celebrate 30 years of broadcasting. KGNU is a
volunteer powered, listener supported, community radio station airing a
diverse array of music and independently produced national and local
news programming.  In celebration of this milestone anniversary KGNU
will launch an Art in Public Places project titled Radioland.

The project begins with artists given a radio (or a radio of your choice
can be used) that will be turned into a piece of art. The object is to
deconstruct and reconstruct your radio into a relevant, provocative,
gorgeous piece of ART! You are invited to participate in this premier event.

All finished pieces will be displayed publicly in highly visible places
through out Boulder/Denver and the Front Range. We are asking that you
participate in the project by using your most creative ability to
manufacture, rebuild, generate, fashion, cast, hammer out, fabricate,
re-imagine, evolve the radio.

The event will culminate with an art auction to benefit KGNUs Operating
Budget (75% of sales will benefit KGNU, 25% of sale will benefit each
individual artist or may be donated back to KGNU).

We hope you will consider participating in this project. We look forward
to working with you.

Timeline:
Artist proposal deadline: EXTENDED to March 3rd 2008
Artist notification to participate: March 10th 2008
Artist time to work on piece: March through April 8th 2008
Finished pieces on Public Display: May 5th through July
Art Auction: Mid/late August 2008

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the station
303-449-4885.

Hi,

The following are some events that might interest some of you.  The first
talk deals with statistics in sports, the second statistics in teaching,
the third - statistics and human rights.

Thanks,

Matt

### February 21 - David Plati - Sports Statistics - Wilderness Pub.
### Meeting within a Meeting Notice
### March 20 - David Banks Video Conference


We have a couple of fun events coming in the the next two months.  The
first will
be this Thursday in Boulder.  Details are below.

  #### David Plati - Sports Statistics - Wilderness Pub.

  This Thursday, February 21 from 6 - 8 at the Wilderness Pub (aka the
  Rockies Brewery), David Plati will be talking about sports statistics. Part
  of David's experience comes from working on the Broncos' statistical
crew. Think
  it is difficult to find new ways to summarize and elicit information from
  data in your field? Consider the challenge when there are millions of others
  essentially looking at the same information. This will be an informal event
  - similar to Paul Parker's talk about baseball and statistics 2 years ago.
  More details will follow. For more information about David Plati -
  see
http://www.cubuffs.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=4271&SPID=274&DB_OEM_ID=600&ATCLID\
=33666

  If you think you will be attending,  please send a note to
mjpdenver@..., so we reserve enough space.

  For directions to the Rockies Brewery see www.boulderbeer.com.

  ### Meeting Within a Meeting.

  The following is a note from the organizer of the Meeting within a
  Meeting, teachers  training sessions which will be held as part of
the Joint Statistical
  Meeting this year.

  Please forward this information to any K-12 teachers you know who
  might be interested.

  *** From Rebecca Nicols

> Dear ASA Chapter Presidents,
>
> I am sending information about the American Statistical Association's
> Meeting Within a Meeting (MWM) workshop for K-12 mathematics and science
> teachers that will be held on Monday, August 4 and Tuesday, August 5 in
> conjunction with the 2008 Joint Statistical Meetings in Denver,
> Colorado. The primary goal of the MWM program in 2008 is to provide an
> opportunity for K-12 teachers who teach math and science to discuss and
> apply the data analysis and statistical concepts embodied in the
> Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education
> (GAISE) Pre-K-12 Curriculum Framework (www.amstat.org/education/gaise
> <http://www.amstat.org/education/gaise> ). Teachers will explore
> problems that require them to collect, organize, analyze, and draw
> conclusions from data and apply basic concepts of probability.
>
> We are hoping your chapter might be interested in sharing information
> about this workshop with K-12 teachers in you area and even consider
> funding the travel costs of one or more math and science teachers from
> your area to attend this free workshop. ASA will provide the
> registration fee, handouts, and some meals to accepted applicants.
> Workshop attendees may also receive a set reimbursement for lodging
> expenses for a two-night stay (one-night for Denver area teachers).
> Teachers will also have the option of attending sessions at JSM, such as
> the Statistical Education Sessions and Poster Session, and will be
> admitted to the Exhibit Hall.
>
> We are encouraging teachers to attend both Monday and Tuesday sessions.
> Grade K-4 and 9-12 teachers will attend their respective sessions on
> Monday and have the option of attending the middle school session (to
> see what material is taught after or before) or the Joint Statistical
> Meetings sessions on Tuesday. Grade 5-8 teachers will attend the middle
> school session on Tuesday with the option of attending the elementary or
> high school sessions (to see what material is taught before or after) or
> the Joint Statistical Meetings sessions on Monday. There will be a
> dinner and career panel discussion Monday evening for all participating
> teachers.
>
> More information and online application materials are available at
> www.amstat.org/education/mwm. Review of MWM applications will begin
> March 1, 2008 and continue until the workshop is filled.


  #### David Banks - Duke University via video conference
  Thursday March 20th - noon - University of Colorado - Denver

  This will be our chapter's first speaker via video conference. David
  is a co-editor of the recently published
  Statistical Methods for Human Rights (Paperback) by Jana Asher
  (Editor), David Banks (Editor), Fritz J. Scheuren (Editor). At the
  last JSM, this was one of the late breaking topics sessions. The talk
  will be held in one of Auraria Campus's multimedia rooms. Chapter members are
  encouraged to join us for lunch and the talk. Details and directions
  will be provided in the future.

   Abstract.
  Statisticians have been involved in different areas of human rights
  research, from the trial of Slobodan Milosovic to designing surveys of
  displaced populations to analysis of political science data. This
  talk describes some of these applications and issues that arose in
  performing them.

Hi,

My friend Simon Roberts has been doing assistant photography for several
weddings, and he's now doing weddings on his own, as well. One of the
options he offers is a nice low-cost $500 package, where you get:

- Five hours of his time on the day of the wedding shooting photos
- After the wedding, he'll give you all of the photos he took on CD, for
you to do with as you wish.

If you have a big non-wedding event coming up like a family reunion,
graduation, or birthday or anniversary party, then of course the same
offer is available.

To see Simon's work or to contact him, go to

Hi,

My photographer friend Simon Roberts is looking for couples (boy-girl
couples, for now) to practice taking photos of. If you show up and pose
for him for 1-2 hours, he'll give you three 8x10 prints of your choice
from the session shots.

He lives just a bit south of Interlocken in Broomfield, and is flexible
timewise.

OT - Hut for sale Sunday, Monday night!

Posted by: "Tanya Dueri" ttdueri@...   ttdueri

Thu Feb 14, 2008 7:32 pm (PST)

Hey all. Thought some of you might be interested in this...

I have the Continental Divide Cabin, a brand new hut in the 10Th Mtn system, reserved for this Sunday and Monday nights. The hut sleeps 8 and like i said is brand new!! Unfortunately, I am stuck in LC and some others cannot make the trip either. Let me know if you are interested in any or all of the space.

If you have to work Tuesday, its possible to make it back in time, because the hike in to the hut is only 1 mile. And you will miss all the holiday traffic on Monday night!

Thanks!
