They can happen at anytime, without warning, often resulting in significant loss of life. Because of this, the University and $36,451 community law enforcement work constantly to prepare for these sorts of scenarios. Department of Public Safety Assistant Chief Carolyn McDermed, said the University tries to prevent these kinds of situations from hap- pening in the first place. Dean of Students Paul Shang regularly meets with the Dean’s Council — consisting of representatives from the Counsel- ing and Testing Center, University Housing, and other student affairs groups — to identify at-risk students and make sure they’re getting the help they need. “We talk about students who are having trou- ble coping.

    2/11/13 Brooks: With Ruffled Ducks Ahead, Buffs Can’t Mope - CUBuffs.com - Official Athletics Web site of the University of Colorado CU senior Sabatino Chen says the Buffs must have sense of urgency over last nine games. Photo Courtesy: Joel Broida Brooks: With Ruffled Ducks Ahead, Buffs Can’t Mope Release: 02/06/2013 Courtesy: B.G. Brooks, Contributing Editor BOULDER - For most coaches, moving past losses usually requires a couple of days, provided they have a couple to spare. For Tad Boyle, getting rid of last weekend's loss at Utah appeared more of a chore - or so it seemed late Monday Game Notes at Oregon afternoon. He converses weekly (maybe daily during some weeks) with Maryland coach Mark Turgeon, a close friend, mentor and former boss. That Boyle spoke by phone with Turgeon following Colorado's insipid, uninspired 58- 55 loss on Saturday in Salt Lake City was as predictable as discord in Congress. Turgeon's advice to Boyle might seem generic, but after feeling CU's three-game winning streak crumpled and discarded by the Pac-12 Conference's last-place team, any words offered by a colleague/friend were appreciated. Turgeon to Boyle: "Don't get too high, don't get too low; stay even-keeled. That's what he said, and he's right. There were some things I was contemplating that I didn't do (in SLC). But I want our players to understand that the effort and the level of concentration, the level of focus and the level of execution that we displayed against Utah are unacceptable.
