Review North Dakota State University
NDSU is a fairly small 4 year university. It has a small town feel in a bigger town, which is great! Sports are also big at NDSU (especially football). There are several options of classes to take every semester and professors care about their students here.
I have had many classes that I LOVED, a majority being classes involving my major. I'm not going to lie, there are those few general courses that you need to take that are pretty brutal and boring, but if you put yourself in the right mindset they always turn out okay! Class size can be scary when it comes to generals but if you go to your professor's office hours when you need help you will typically find what you are looking for. Also, make sure you balance your work load so you don't become overwhelmed.
A university is a place where your dreams become true, where you could reach the limits, go farther and faster that anyone can, reach the stars of your dreams, explore yourself in an amazing way, exploit your hidden energies and let it out so others could take advance of it. You could be a remarkable scholar or a famous scientist. Time could be invested in colleges not wasted, new inventions, explores and developments could be made every day, it's where big minds meet and get to know and communicate with each other. It's Where the sun, the moon, the Stares, oceans fool, lost knowledge, and all kind of limitations meet you and greet you to the new world where you're about to explore and North Dakota State Universit (NDSU) it's the university where you could find what I just been describing, a place to dream big.

Physicists have developed a new technique that uses electrical voltages to control the electron spin on a chip. The newly-developed method provides protection from spin decay, meaning that the contained information can be maintained and transmitted over comparatively large distances, as has been demonstrated by a team from the University of Basel's Department of Physics and the Swiss Nanoscience Institute. The results have been published in Physical Review X.
For several years, researchers have been trying to use the spin of an electron to store and transmit information. The spin of each electron is always coupled...

Hello Rebeccamommyof2,
According to the Baby Led Weaning approach, food is for fun until they are one. Having said that, your will continue to need a lot of milk until he is eating more solids. I would suggest that you try introducing solids to him one hour after he has had a full feeding of milk (by breast or bottle). This means that he will not be super hungry, but he will be hungry enough that he would like to experiment with the food.
Here's a video of a 1 year old who is transitioned to solids with baby led weaning. Thought you might enjoy watching this.

BackTrack : Giving Machine Guns to Monkeys since 2006
When I bought my ExpressCard it was $99 US. I got it when it about first came out though, might be cheaper now.
ExpressCard Belkin F5D8071FR N1
could you confirm me if it's this card ?
if yes i can get in fr for 99 Euros !!! expensive
but if really it works..........
Watch your back, your packetz will belong to me soon... xD
BackTrack : Giving Machine Guns to Monkeys since 2006
Yes shaman, that's exactly the same. On the back mine is listed as ver.1000 also. I'm sure that one will be perfect Mine is dentical to the picture same numbers and everything.
I will mention however I was highly disappointed with the range of this card. My D-Link G-122 USB adapter has better range then this card, but it is an ExpressCard taht works with BT.
Fun to hear that it works good for you.
But do you think it will work for Ubiquiti SRX that is an Express card to?
@ Zacay,
Can't say for sure. This is my first and only ExpressCard and I haven't read up much on ExpressCard... I'm still pissed I have ExpressCard and no pcmcia. I would read up on the card itself see what kinda chipset it has I'm sure it will work though.
Please take a look at my thread about it!
through study of many wireless forums,search engines,backtrack wiki(HCL),wifiway forums,aircrack forums.I came on decision that there are 3 good wireless cards avaliable and they are-
1.Belkin N1 express card
2.Ubiquity SuperRange Xpress
34mm Hi-Power PCI-Express Card with 5DBi external Antenna On Atheros 5006 Chipset
3.Linksys WUSB54GC USB Adapter NIC(rt 73 chipset based only.
I am about to purchase Ubiquity or Belkin.I will check them on shop only wheather they are able to inject packet using aireplay test.also many cards have problem in aireplay while making Rogue AP.error such as wlanconfig master/ap mode problem.device not support blah blah without that an BT3 machine wont act as AP for Rogue AP(see source code of airsnarf).

SAN BERNARDINO - The city's homicide numbers rose over the weekend when investigators determined Friday night that an unidentified woman whose body was found across the street from a park was a slaying victim.
Her death was the 43rd homicide in the city this year and the third in less than two weeks.
In 2011, 30 homicides were reported in the city and 32 each for 2010 and 2009. The highest number of homicides in recent years was 58 in 2005.
The unidentified woman's body was found Tuesday at the rear of a vacant business in the 1100 block of East Highland Avenue across from Perris Hill Park.
The woman was between 35 and 45 years old, 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighed 195 pounds and had medium length brown hair. She had a fair complexion and was wearing a short sleeve black top, blue jeans and Ugg-style black slippers with white trim. A tattoo around her right ankle is made up of blue, red and yellow connecting triangles.
A day after the woman's body was found, officers were called out to a usually quiet neighborhood in the 3000 block of Fremontia Drive after a man found his 76-year-old mother, Mary Elizabeth Blaskey, lying dead in her ransacked home.
Less than a week before those two homicides, Martin Luther King Daniels III was involved in a fight with his girlfriend, 25-year-old Brianna Jones, in their home in the 100 block of West 13th Street. Jones allegedly stabbed the 28-year-old Daniels once in the upper torso, according to police reports.
Daniels, taken to a hospital in critical condition, died three days later, on Nov. 12.
The latest rash of homicides comes as city officials consider making more public safety cuts to help balance San Bernardino's budget in light of the city's pending bankruptcy filing.
A so-called pendency plan to be presented to U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Riverside includes benefit reductions for police, fire and other employees, and eliminating the positions of 18 officers who have left since summer, when previously vacated positions were frozen.
Blaskey's death shook up San Bernardino residents and long-time police investigators due to its brutality.
Blaskey, who had recently taken a leave from her job as a substitute clerk at San Gorgonio High School due to health issues, was no threat to anyone who may have intended on robbing her home, said neighbors and investigators.
Police have not released a motive for the attack. Her 2001 grayish-green Lexus ES300 remained missing Saturday.
The biggest rash of homicides in San Bernardino this year took place in May. Twelve people were killed that month. On May 6, three people were shot and killed in Delmann Heights Park.
Anyone with information on the identity of the woman whose body was found near Perris Hill Park is asked to call police Detective Steve Turner at 909-384-5647 or police Sgt. Gary Robertson at 909-841-5361.
909-386-3921, @IEBeatriz

I apologize if the answers to the questions below are viewed as common knowledge; much of the information i have already found (although it was not in a straightforward manner). I merely want to verify :)
Is the ARM edition of BT5 native?
Will BT5 run from an SDHC card on an exynos 4412 ARM Cortex A9 processor?
Should I expect to have a limited selected of drivers/packages? I wouldn't imagine traditional x86/x64 packages to run on an ARM kernel, but wanted to verify.
I specifically wanted to run BT5 on an Odroid-x dev board. It has the cpu noted above, think I should have any issues?
Thanks again in advance for any help you can provide.

BC Men Can't Top RoyalsSeptember 6, 2012
Charlotte, N.C.-The Tornados dropped a 5-0 contest to the Queens University Royals Wednesday evening at the Queens Sports Complex in Charlotte.
Efren D. Escobar, Junior Montano and Joel Jalanne each recorded shots for the Tornados but weren't able to find the back of the net.
Felipe Netto wasted little time putting Queens University in the lead, scoring an unassisted goal 34 seconds into the game. Netto then made it 2-0 in the 15th minute, this time from the right side on an assist from Jeremy Chambers. The Royals would hold a 5-0 lead by the time the first half was over.
The Tornados turned it up defensively in the second half, holding Queens scoreless over the final 45 minutes.
Jack Shaw started the game in goal for the Tornados, and recorded three saves in the contest. Freshman goalie Juan Mascaro Jr. showed promise late in the game, keeping the Royals off the board and recording a save in over 17 minutes of action.
Brevard men's soccer team returns to action on Saturday as they host the USC Aiken Pacers on campus at 4 p.m.

You can find us on the third floor of Carpenter Hall, east wing. Our convener is Ferit Güven.
Because it asks fundamental questions. Because it explores how to live a good life. Because it takes seriously the questions that arise in life and tries to answer them. Because it exposes and questions assumptions. Because it helps you find your own answers and your own standards for answers. Because it calls on both your creativity and your rigor. Because it uses all your interests and everything you know, from art and literature, history and social science, to mathematics and natural science. Because it makes you articulate in speaking and writing, clear in thinking and reasoning, and able to draw connections among ideas of all kinds. Because you have decisions to make, evidence to weigh, opinions to assess, mysteries to contemplate, a world to understand, a life to live.
If you have never taken a philosophy course, then consider taking any of the following. They preserve the options of majoring or minoring in philosophy.
If you intend to choose philosophy as your major, then you should take PHIL 250 — Modern Philosophy. If you've already had PHIL 250, then take PHIL 350 — 19th Century Philosophy. If you've already had PHIL 350, then you probably don't need this overview.
If you are an upper-division student not interested in our major or minor, but exploring philosophy, then consider taking a "Philosophy of ..." course in your major field, such as PHIL 370 — Philosophy of Social Science, PHIL 360 — Philosophy of Natural Science, or PHIL 410 Philosophy of History. Our "Philosophy of ..." courses encourage critical and reflective work in relation to other disciplines. Most of these courses require completion of the first year courses or previous work in the field to be studied or the consent of the instructor. We offer "Philosophy of ..." courses in various fields:
For more information view our courses page. There you will find course descriptions, prerequisites, credit hours, general education credit, offering frequency
If our department has an orientation, it is toward the history of philosophy. Our program is respected by graduate schools for the mastery our graduates have shown of the history of philosophy. We emphasize the reading of primary texts from Greek antiquity to the present in order to show that ancient philosophy is not obsolete and contemporary philosophy is not rootless. Our students learn to converse with the major figures of the Western tradition, as well as to respond them critically. In the process they learn the vocabulary, the methods, the questions, and the standards of the discipline, as well as its implications and limits.

Gary Allan to team back up with 'Every Storm' songwriter
Listen to Gary Allan on iHeartRadio
Gary Allan says he has enlisted the songwriter behind his latest hit "Every Storm" for his next album. The country singer tells "Taste Of Country" he got writer Hillary Lindsey on board for his next project just days after releasing Set You Free was released in January.
He says that singer Sarah Buxton will be involved as well, adding that having a female perspective in the studio helps to lighten the mood since he tends to go to a dark and moody place.
Allan jokes, "I don't really like happy songs." He adds that his next album looks like it's going to be more optimistic than his previous work, much of which came from the death of his wife eight years ago.
But for now, fans can expect more singles off Set You Free in the future.

Fedde Le Grand's top three Michael Jackson hits
Listen to Fedde Le Grand on iHeartRadio
Fedde Le Grand has put his spin on the King of Pop. The producer/DJ (and Michael Jackson fan) has remixed Michael's "Love Never Felt So Good" off of MJ's recent Xscape album.
Fedde tells us that he was more than thrilled at the opportunity. He says, "At first I was, of course, flattered and then kind of shocked to be honest. I knew they were working on something, but I didn't know what. It was all very, very [secretive]." He went on to say, "I was super happy, but at second thought, it kind of scared me at the same time because, I mean, me being a Michael fan, in general, you just don't touch Michael, you leave it as is. There's not much to improve, to be really honest."
"Love Never Felt So Good" is a great song on its own, but Fedde's remix opens the door for even the youngest of fans, who may not have really grown up with Michael's music. Fedde explains, "I think there is a bit of a generation gap. That kind of maybe decide to do it anyway, even though I knew for the real Michael fans, you know, I just can't add anything. And that's what I try to do, bridge that gap. That's what I say in the video, bridge that gap between, the young generation, but still kind of keep the core values of the song."
[Buy Fedde's "Love Never Felt So Good" remix on iTunes]
Fedde recently explained that "Thriller" was one of the first records he ever bought. And although he tells us he can't recreate the famous dance moves from the video - or moonwalk for that matter - as an MJ fan, we asked him to talk about his top three Michael Jackson hits. Find out his favorites below!
1. "Billie Jean"
I mean, I think number one has to be, even though it might be a bit obvious, but I think it has to be "Billy Jean." It's just such an iconic record. You know, even like the drum beats are iconic. So I think that's got to be my number one.
2. "Bad"
That was the first concert I ever went to as a kid. It was really impressive being that young and seeing the whole show and everything. I remember being a kind, you know, it was kind of like always a big deal when Michael came out with a new track. Because he always had like this extended video clip - especially for "Bad" and "Thriller." "Bad," you know I think now I like it, because then, he proved once again that he was on top of his game.
3. "Thriller"
I was so young, so I actually got nightmares from the video tape. It was super scary, and my parents made me stay up late and everything to watch it - which was pretty cool.
I think I pretty much like everything from him. Especially the early work, is just, you it's just absolutely amazing. My parents listened to like James Brown and Bootsy Collins and all that stuff, so, and I think Michael being influenced by James Brown so much, even though he did pop music, he always had that kind of funky element, which "Bad" and "Thriller" had.
Check out Fedde's remix of "Love Never Felt So Good" below:
The Michael Jackson remix isn't the only thing up Fedde's sleeve these days. He has a brand new single called "You've Got This," and explains that he's also re-visiting "Don't Give Up" with a top secret vocal.
"Before the Michael [remix], I did a record called, 'Don't Give Up,' which we released as an instrumental and we're going to re-release it and - which is kind of exciting, I can't tell everything about it - but we just got word that quite an interesting artist will do the top line!"

Don't Get Sacked Buying a Big Screen for the Big Game
The big game is just around the corner and many people are thinking about buying a new big screen. You may think you're getting a Hail Mary of a deal, but make sure you're not getting blitzed. Here are some ways to score the TV you want and advance your financial goals down the field.
- Your budget is your playbook. Even if you can't execute every play perfectly, the closer you can stick to your plan, the more points you'll put up on the board.
- Plan out your maximum price, the features you want and the size you want.
For example, when you start looking, you may be thinking about buying a 47-inch TV for $700, but then you find a great 47-inch TV marked down to $500. Then the helpful sales associate says that they have a 50-inch marked down from $1,000 to $750. They say that with the bigger TV you save 300 dollars instead of 250 and you're still under your budget.
Watch out: they're going for an interception!
If you have a budget and you spend the full amount, you did not save any money. You were never going to buy the $1,000 dollar 50-inch TV. When you came in the store, you were thinking you'd be happy with the 47-inch model. Remember the play you're running, buy the size you originally wanted and you'll have another $250 to put towards saving.
- In the NFL, players will watch hours of game tapes to learn about the other team. Do your homework by checking out customer reviews or other trusted sources.
- That helpful sales associate may also offer you no payments or no interest for months. But even the worst referee would call a flag on this play. These deals often take the form of deferred interest, so if you don't pay back the full amount in the given time frame, you could owe interest for the entire length of time. Every loan and credit card is different, so be sure to read the fine print before you sign on the dotted line. You may gain 10 yards on the play, but paying a high interest rate can set you back worse than a 15 yard penalty.
Remember, buying a TV is just one play in one game. For saving money, the season never ends. NFL players train their entire life to get to the big game. We save money our entire life to get to retirement. Don't let spending sideline you.

Remove and clean the valve
Idling and stalling problems can really add stress to your daily commute. The most common culprit is carbon buildup on the throttle body, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve and idle air control (IAC) valve. In this article, we'll show you how to clean an EGR valve. This simple procedure can often bring an EGR valve back from the dead and restore a smooth idle. If the cleaning doesn't work, you'll have to replace the valve.
Refer to a shop manual to find the location of your EGR valve. If it's fairly accessible, stop at an auto parts store and buy a new EGR gasket, a spray can of throttle body cleaner, and rust penetrant. Spray the EGR retaining bolts with rust penetrant and let them sit while you disconnect the electrical and vacuum lines from the valve (label the vacuum lines so you know which ports they came from). Then remove the retaining bolts and lift the EGR valve out of the engine compartment.
Place the valve on a bed of paper towels and tilt it so the cleaning solvent won't drain into the electric solenoid or vacuum motor, which operates the metering rod—the solvent can damage those components. Spray the port and metering rod until they're clean (wear eye protection and gloves). Once the parts are clean, check for smooth metering rod operation by forcing the rod in and out of the port with a screwdriver. It should slide smoothly and close completely in the port. If not, apply solvent to a cotton swab and clean the shaft and port.
Check the passage under the EGR valve to see if it's clogged with carbon. If it is, gently chip out the carbon with a small screwdriver and vacuum it out with a shop vacuum. Then reinstall the EGR valve using the new gasket.


text: Chelsea were always a tough team to beat in the Premier League, but since they've had investment they've become an elite team both domestically and in Europe. Jose Mourinho's men pride themselves on wearing the blue soccer jerseys, and it's that discipline that has helped the club develop previous star Didier Drogba and current No. 1 goalkeeper Petr Cech. With Jose back in town, many believe they will win many more trophies for a long time. Jose's always been one to move from team-to-team, but it's clear both the club and manager want to create a Sir Alex Ferguson-Manchester United kind of relationship, which will revolve around longevity and loyalty. Can Chelsea dominate the footballing world for years to come? If so they will need to replace some of their ageing stars.

Greater commercial activity in the United States after the War of 1812 and speculation in railroad stocks in the 1830s increased demand for capital and stimulated trading at the exchange. After the Civil War, the exchange provided the capital for the accelerating industrialization of the United States.
After the Panic of 1837, when many investors suffered heavy losses, the exchange began to demand that companies disclose to the public information about their finances as a condition of offering stock. The Stock Market Crash of 1929, which signaled the start of the Great Depression, led to investigation by the federal government and regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
To A corporation must meet defined requirements in order to be listed on the NYSE, a corporation must have aggregate pretax earnings of $6,500,000 over the previous three years and at least 1,100,000 shares of stock outstanding, give common shareholders voting rights, and publish periodical financial statementsand it must meet continued listing criteria to maintain its place there. Corporate governance standards that require the listed company boards to have a majority of independent (nonemployee) directors were introduced in 2003; audit, compensation, and nomination committees must be composed entirely of independent directors. A shift from fractional to decimal pricing occurred in 2001.
The ownership structure of the NYSE changed in March 2006 with the formation of the NYSE Group, Inc., a publicly held company. In anticipation of that change, the last seats on the exchange were sold in December 2005 (some selling for as much as $4 million). All seat holders became shareholders of the NYSE Group. A merger with Euronext N.V., a group of European securities exchanges, created the holding company NYSE Euronext in 2007. In 2008 NYSE Euronext agreed to acquire the American Stock Exchange.

Matzek loses no-hit bid in seventh
Rockies prospect strikes out seven, lowers ERA to 2.87
June 9, 2012 10:16 PM ET
It's safe to say he produced one.
The Rockies' No. 6 prospect carried a no-hitter into the seventh as Class A Advanced Modesto posted a 2-1, 10-inning win over Bakersfield.
Matzek ended up allowing one run on one hit and three walks while striking out seven over seven-plus innings. It was a positive sign for the 21-year-old left-hander, who had yielded one run or fewer in four straight starts before experiencing control problems on June 4 against the Blaze.
"There's been progress all season with [Matzek]," said Nuts pitching coach Darryl Scott. "We've just been working on the consistency in his delivery, and he's stayed with that. Overall, he did a really nice job maintaining his leg lift and everything else, and it was nice to see him go out there and repeat his delivery."
Despite control issues at points this season, Matzek has found ways to keep runs off the board. In six starts since May 8, he's lowered his ERA by better than a run to 2.87, going 3-0 during that span. For the season, he's averaged better than a strikeout per inning, with 75 over 69 frames in 13 starts.
More importantly, he's issued more than three walks just once in his last five starts.
"There's been a bump in the road here and there. The only time he gets in trouble is by himself, with the walks," Scott said. "But if you look at the numbers throughout the season, overall, he's been very good. His batting average against is real good. From the mental side, he's very good."
Selected ninth overall in the 2009 Draft, Matzek has battled high walk rates throughout his three-year professional career, overcoming them with similarly high strikeout totals and overpowering stuff.
Scott said he believes that with continued work on repeating his delivery, that one sore spot will be cleared up.
"As he continues to get more consistent with his delivery, we're seeing more outings like this," he said. "He's working very hard; it's what we like to see."
Facing Bakersfield for the second time in six days, Matzek lost his no-hit bid when Bryson Smith connected for a one-out single to center in the seventh. The southpaw quickly induced an inning-ending double play but issued a walk in the eighth to Dominic D'Anna, who later scored the tying run.
The Nuts pulled out the victory when Dustin Garneau singled home Jared Clark in the 10th.

Stellar Black Holes
Many bright X-ray binary sources have been discovered in our galaxy and nearby galaxies. In about ten of these systems, the rapid orbital velocity of the visible star indicates that the unseen companion is a black hole. (The figure at left is an X-ray image of the black hole candidate XTE J1118+480.) The X-rays in these objects are produced by particles very close to the event horizon. In less than a second after they give off their X-rays, they disappear beyond the event horizon.
Do black holes grow when matter falls into them? Yes, the mass of the black hole increases by an amount equal to the amount of mass it captures. The radius of the event horizon also increases by about 3 kilometers for every solar mass that it swallows. A black hole in the center of a galaxy, where stars are densely packed, may grow to the mass of a billion Suns and become what is known as a supermassive black hole. Recently Chandra has found evidence that black holes with masses of about a thousand Suns can be formed in dense star clusters by processes that are not yet understood.

Hey guys, it's me, Jazzi. And I'm here to bring up a concern that was mentioned today in Chat. At least three users would like to disable blogs. The reasoning for this is because it distracts users from editing, and there's a lot of spam blogs.
Although we have the policy, we still have to delete blogs on a daily basis for minor offenses. Additionally, we have to deal with users commenting on blogs that have been inactive for months.
Yes, there are some good blogs, but for every one good blog, there's twenty-five bad blogs. There are ~600 blogs on this site.
Do we really want to be like this? Do we want to sink down low as to become a blogging site? Please only vote if you have 150 mainspace. Feel free to vote and share your opinions. Neutrals will not be considered. – Jäzzi 20:05, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
Support the Removal of Blogs
- Support: I want them gone. I'm sick of having to delete them and then having users come to me and ask why I deleted them. We can add a general discussion section to the forums if you guys would like, and request a new user right to monitor that forum, but I want them gone. – Jäzzi 20:05, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
- Support: I want them gone too, they are disruptive to the wiki's editing at times and a high percentage of our users only come here to blog miscellaneous junk. Crimsonnavy (Talk) 20:10, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
- Support: There's just not enough work getting around. Lots of articles that are very useful to find information on are stubs (such as moves). We are way behind on everything. Bermuda • Triangle • 20:12,9/17/2011

Oppose the Removal of Blogs
- Oppose: They can cause trouble, but they can also be useful, and if they get out of hand, we have admins to delete them and rollbacks to mark them for deletion. I also think this would be a really good reason to add the "Moderator" user rights group to this wiki, so they can help moderate blogs. Mods can delete pages and edit/delete comments as well.

Ok I do a bit of regular work for this rich couple in their early fourties. They have this absolutely huge house with loads of land and I go down every now and then and keep the gardens nice and tidy, prune the hedges and generally do the back breaking labourous tasks that rich folk can't be arsed with.
Thing is the husband is a nerdy fat bald guy with glasses and he's always off on business trips and/or working away from home. Fuck knows what he does exactly but he looks big time and clearly has waaaay too much money. His wife is fit as fuck and looks extremely slick and flash but I also reckon there is a naughtiness in her eyes that hints at her being absolutely filth in bed. She also really likes me and always comes out and talks to me while I'm working and whatnot.
Therefore, I plan on moving in next week and shagging her while her husband is away. But how should I go about doing this? Should I just lay it on thick and charge in or should I be more subtle and test the water and gradually increase the flirting? No daft answers like "just get your cock out and thrust it at her". That's something Sledge would say, and look at him. I want some quality advice.

President Collins' Inaugural Address, October 11, 2003
Members of the Board of Trustees, President Emeritus Brown, delegates, students, faculty, staff, alumni, family, friends and neighbors from the North Country, I am honored to have the opportunity to lead Clarkson University as its sixteenth President. I would remind us all that this inauguration is about our institution and its future much more than it is about the role or position of one individual. This is an occasion to step back and take a look at who we are. It is a time to be grateful to those who have brought us to this point. Together we have arrived at a moment of historic opportunity for Clarkson and the North Country — an opportunity that few universities recognize and even fewer actually seize. For Clarkson has an opportunity to evolve to excellence and that is my theme today — "Evolution to Excellence."
How has Clarkson come to this point? Why are we unique on the higher education landscape? Why does this university have a special role to play in this region and in the world? And why are we at a point to transform Clarkson from a very good to a truly excellent technological university? To answer these questions I will draw on an analogy with Potsdam sandstone. I will speak about our history, and how, though small in size, Clarkson makes a disproportionately large and important impact. I will speak about elevating our academic reputation, about developing our resources, about expanding alumni roles, and about partnerships. But let me be frank. As we have begun the 21st century and are experiencing rapid social change of global proportions, we are confronted by new paradigms in business and education. Status quo will not work. Those with clear direction and focused vision are succeeding and those who lack clarity are threatened with obsolescence. The time is now to seize our moment of opportunity.
Many of you know the history of this university that dates back to a businessman named Thomas S. Clarkson and a sandstone quarry accident that took his life. Let me take a moment to reflect on sandstone because it is integral to the founding of Clarkson and still serves as a powerful symbol of our enduring character as an institution.
Potsdam sandstone is the hallmark of our regional architecture. It is unique. Engineering tests prove it to be the best all-around building stone in North America. It is harder and more durable than granite and the most impervious to weathering. It is more fire-resistant than brick, and able, with much hard work, to be hewn and shaped into blocks that can be fitted together with exceptional precision. Because of its excellent qualities, it has been used far beyond Potsdam in, for example, Parliament buildings in Ottawa, Albany's spectacular All Saints Cathedral, and many buildings at Columbia University.
The formation of Potsdam sandstone required over 500 million years. The formation of Clarkson University has taken, so far, a mere 107 years. Nonetheless, there are strong similarities between the formation of this extraordinary stone and the formation of Clarkson. And I will return to these similarities after some personal acknowledgements.
People are fashioned through life experiences, family, friends and mentors. There are many in this audience today, and others who could not attend, who have been central in my formation and to whom I want to extend thanks.
My late mother and father and my sister, Jan, for starting me down the path that has led to today; my Ph.D. advisor, Bob Johnson, my Ph.D. committee and my environmental engineering colleagues for furthering me on the journey; Egon Matijević for his scholarly inspiration; Helen Cheel, here with us today and at age 99 showing us what passion for Clarkson means; Nobi Ackermann for his optimism and humor; Barb Parker for always seeing the bright side; and the youth of Potsdam for providing me with moments of exhilaration through their musical and sporting accomplishments and demonstrating to me that focus and dedication can achieve dreams; my four children and my wife, Karen, for they have enriched my life beyond what I could have imagined; and everyone in this gymnasium today for so many have contributed to my journey.
Now, let me turn to the formation of Clarkson and the similarities with Potsdam sandstone. Formed by powerful forces of nature and hardened by pressure deep in the earth, sandstone gradually gains potential for productive use. Still, it must be quarried, hewn and shaped, and then placed creatively to form graceful structures that endure the elements. Similarly, Clarkson was formed out of stress, a fatal quarry accident, when Thomas Clarkson's three sisters transformed that tragedy into the catalyst for a school to embody their brother's practical humanitarian values. The Clarkson we know emerged literally from that very quarry, which provided the sandstone that constructed our first building, Old Main.
Over Clarkson's first 80 years, it was hewn and shaped into Clarkson College of Technology. The graduates, primarily engineers, were solid and dependable, of uniform high quality, and became key building blocks, like sandstone blocks, in a multitude of organizations and enterprises.
Ultimately, the process of shaping and weathering produced Clarkson University, the northeast's only technological university in a rural environment and among the smallest nationally recognized universities. Of the 248 nationally ranked universities, just 17 are members of the Association of Independent Technological Universities. And we are one of those elite 17. Our graduates are overly represented in the leadership ranks of American business, where one in 12 is a CEO, president, vice president or owner of a company. Our region, nation and our world are increasingly dependent on the technological graduates that we produce and the intellectual property that our researchers develop. Therefore, our evolving strengths intersect precisely with the growing needs of our technologically driven society.
This is fundamentally why Clarkson's time is now.
And here's another reason: in just the past 20 years our alumni body has more than doubled. The oldest of these 18,000 recent graduates are just reaching their peak years of social and business influence.
For both of these reasons, we are poised to take the last step to excellence, excellence that the world needs and that Clarkson's educational vision deserves.
And there is other momentum building for Clarkson.
A gift from the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation has amplified our strength. Yesterday, in a defining moment for Clarkson, we dedicated and named our School of Engineering, to be guided by the theme "Technology Serving Humanity." An engineer, inventor, entrepreneur and Clarkson Trustee, the late Wallace H. Coulter relished technological challenges but was also moved by a profound desire to make the lives of people better. A permanent tribute to this extraordinary man now enhances our campus. Wallace Coulter can be a model and a touchstone for inspiration as we move ahead.
Which begs the question: Precisely how will we move ahead? Clarkson will found its future on three fundamental building blocks: academic excellence, marshalling of financial resources, and alumni engagement.
First and foremost, our excellence will be based on academic reputation. We will continue to assemble the highest caliber faculty. We will focus on key areas of expertise and we will be world leaders in our chosen curricula, manner of educating students, and in the select research endeavors.
In each of our pursuits, our size gives us an advantage. On this campus, all it takes for face-to-face collaboration is a walk down a couple of hallways or maybe across a lawn. We have few layers of administration and we must take advantage of our size to react to opportunities.
Already, we have married our coursework in engineering, business, science and arts in ways that have drawn national recognition. Our oldest example is Interdisciplinary Engineering and Management (or ID as it was known at its inception 50 years ago). Today, among other collaborations, we are looking at, for example, the intersection of Technical Communications with Computer Science for the possibility of a degree program in Digital Arts and Sciences. And we've seized the opportunity to join physical therapy with engineering to develop rehabilitation engineering.
Currently, our faculty is revising our core curriculum to align it even more closely with the broad needs of society and our technologically based mission. This review is based on setting skill and knowledge objectives for our students, measuring how well we succeed and continuously revising our process to accomplish our objectives. While many institutions and accreditation agencies advocate this approach, few have tackled the problem comprehensively and I expect Clarkson to be a leader in this endeavor.
Following this revision, mastery of fundamentals will continue to distinguish our graduates, but we expect students to also develop personal, societal, and professional ethics; to understand the relationship of science and technology to society, and to value diversity. Let me make a clear statement. Our campus must value and reflect the diversity of our world or we will have failed in creating the best educational environment possible.
All this continues our evolution toward a leadership role in higher education. How do I know this? Consider our recent national recognition. In the past three years we have received five national awards for learning programs in business, engineering, and science.
With research we have taken a focused approach and coupled our faculty expertise across disciplines. We have coupled, for example, fine particle science with materials engineering and with environmental engineering to create world-class research. And we see recognition for this interdisciplinary approach with unprecedented contributions from state and federal agencies.
Recent examples include:
$4.5 million in biotechnology funding from New York State's Gen*NY*sis program for research and economic growth, announced by Governor Pataki on campus and supported by Senator Ray Meier,
$1.8 million in NYSTAR funding for atmospheric environmental research,
$1.4 million in U.S. Defense Department funding for obscurant smokes, with another $3 million possible, supported by Congressman John McHugh. He cannot be with us today as he is on assignment in the Middle East. With the conditions there, we wish him Godspeed and a safe return.
Our second major building block is financial. We must focus investments in Clarkson so that all of our initiatives make both strategic and financial sense. Of course we must increase our financial resources but we need a development program that seeks support for the institution in a broader and more comprehensive fashion. For too long we have relied on too few supporters to do too much — when many others have an interest and a desire to help Clarkson. We will invest in the development area and drive it deeper into the organizational structure to engage and nurture those who want to help us. At the same time, we will build a long-term planning process that will allow us to invest over extended periods of time to achieve our goals.
And our final building block will be new initiatives and engagement of our alumni, especially in the admission process. Our alumni now number some 33,000. They are Clarkson's best advertisement — and greatest resource beyond campus. At our Alumni Reunion last July, I described the Clarkson alumni that I know: "as talented, energetic, versatile leaders who create clever technological advances that make the lives of people better." We must employ their good will more effectively in bringing future generations here as students. But we can be more systematic in providing opportunities for our alumni to interact face-to-face with prospective students and we are taking organizational measures to do such. Our thousands of alumni are an unmatched resource whose talents, energies and committed support are needed to help us achieve excellence.
It is absolutely critical that we understand the connection among these three building blocks, academic reputation, financial resources and alumni engagement. We will garner support from individuals and organizations — be they corporate, charitable, or government — because their goals will be best served by investments in our excellence. Our indisputable excellence and high reputation will convince and galvanize them. Few invest in second-rate institutions.
Much of our drive for excellence will be propelled by partnerships on regional and national levels. And, to be clear, these partnerships are integral to our educational mission because they expand our classrooms and student learning experiences and also apply our scholarship and expertise to the lives of real people.
Last June, for example, we formed a partnership with the Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Hospital in Allentown, Pennsylvania. We share a vision to lead the nation in rehabilitation technology as it pertains to human mobility.
Perhaps we can partner with Potsdam State to see the synergy that might lie at the intersection of the performing arts and technology (or simply put, music and engineering), or partner with the University of Ottawa in a cross-border collaboration or partner with SUNY Environmental Sciences and Forestry, our Associated College colleagues, Paul Smith's College and the members of the New York State Great Lakes Consortium in an educational and research facility focused on the St. Lawrence River.
One partnership strategy has particular potential and can turn our research discoveries into businesses and jobs. It will potentially benefit many people beyond Clarkson — and most significantly our neighbors across the North Country, making the region a premier place to live. Clarkson is exploring how it can best develop its intellectual property - the inventions that are the products of our research, so that commercial enterprises can be grown in the North Country. One possibility would be that Clarkson partner with a Venture Capital Fund. We have often discussed technology transfer and the concept was in fact, part of our 1989 agreement with New York State that brought us CAMP (our Center for Advanced Materials Processing). It is now time to develop a credible technology transfer plan and to execute this plan.
As we move forward with excitement and energy, we should bear in mind that we stand upon the shoulders of those who have gone before us. The undefeated hockey team of 1956, who through loyalty to eight seniors who played as freshmen and were declared ineligible by the NCAA, turned down their prized invitation to compete for the national championship; the FIRST Robotics team, who in the fall of 2001, lost two members in a tragic auto accident and went on to compete with the courage and skill that honored the spirit of their comrades; and Clarke Joy, Class of 1929. At age 96, he has been a student and a loyal alumnus through 13 Clarkson presidents and could have attended 11 inaugurations. Clarke Joy, please stand.
These are defining moments. They speak to our character, values and resilience as an institution. And they remind us of the hard work, dreams, courage and painful losses that turned Clarkson from a tiny trade school into a major technological university of international stature. Focus and dedication. Teamwork and loyalty. All of us share an obligation to those who have preceded us to renew today our enthusiasm and commitment to Clarkson and to the difference this university can make in the world.
Think about the character of Clarkson and its origins in Potsdam sandstone. Clarkson itself has now been hewn, shaped and weathered for more than a century. Today, I ask you to join with me to take the sandstone blocks of Clarkson and build upon their foundation a technological university second to none — a university that develops leaders concerned about humanity and creates technology that aids humanity.
Clarkson will make the fullest and most significant contribution to the world that its collective talents, resources and aspirations can achieve and that its history, character and people deserve. We must evolve. We can evolve. We will evolve. Clarkson will evolve to excellence. And just like Potsdam sandstone, we will be the best.

Champaign, Ill. • Possible No. 1 ranking? Yeah, that's nice, Michigan's Trey Burke said Sunday outside the locker room at Illinois' Assembly Hall.
But after the win that should give the No. 2 Wolverines their first top ranking since the 1992-93 season, the sophomore guard wanted to talk defense and what a team does when one of its big, defensive rocks goes down.
If you're Michigan (19-1, 6-1 Big Ten), you plug in a couple of other big guys. And you win in this case 74-60 over the Illini, most of it without 6-foot-8, 250-pound Jordan Morgan. The starting forward limped to the locker room less than two minutes into the game with a sprained right ankle and didn't come back.
"Coach [John Beilein] calls him the minister of defense," Burke said, crediting Mitch McGary, John Horford and Max Bielfeldt, the three big men who picked up the slack.
"I say this every game," Burke added, "but it just starts with defense. I think that started in the first half."
And that No. 1 ranking, which will likely be Michigan's after Duke's lopsided loss to Miami earlier in the week opened the door when the AP poll comes out Monday, doesn't mean much yet, Beilein was quick to remind.
"You compete for a Big Ten championship, then you go on, you compete for a national championship," he said. "That's the number one you want down the line."
Illinois (15-6, 2-5) and first-year coach John Groce, whose team has been doomed by cold shooting since mid-December and shot 37.1 percent Sunday, could do little but marvel at the Wolverines.
"I give Michigan a lot of credit," Groce said. "You make one mistake and they exploit it like that."
Burke scored 19 to lead Michigan. Nick Stauskas scored 14 points and Glenn Robinson III and Tim Hardaway Jr. added 12 each.
Brandon Paul led Illinois with 15 points but had five of the Illini's 15 costly turnovers.
No. 7 Indiana 75, No. 13 Michigan State 70 • In Bloomington, Ind., Victor Oladipo scored 21 points, grabbed seven rebounds and finished with six steals, leading the Hoosiers over the Spartans.
No. 25 Miami 71, Florida St. 47 • In Coral Gables, Fla., Trey McKinney Jones scored 15 points for the Hurricanes, and the Atlantic Coast Conference leaders won their seventh game in a row.
Sunday's scores
• No. 2 Michigan 74, Illinois 60
• No. 7 Indiana 75, No. 13 Michigan St. 70
• No. 17 Creighton 81, Southern Illinois 51
• No. 25 Miami 71, Florida St. 47

How's the state's nearly year-old liquor-privatization law working out for everyone?
Here are a few things randomly observed in Snohomish County in the past couple of months:
•In the middle of a lovely weekend day, a man running out of the grocery store with a gallon of liquor in each hand, and jumping into an idling SUV sitting outside the entrance (and blocking the little crosswalk into the store). As the getaway car sped off, the clerks looked at each other like, "What are you going to do?" Which is exactly right, since they are not law enforcement. However, moving the liquor away from the entrance of the store would be a start.
A man highly embarrassed for the long wait created at the check-out line at another grocery store, as the clerk hunted down the right key to unlock the cabinet that holds the "top shelf" (expensive) liquor. How much more convenient for everyone.
Stores that once only sold liquor, now selling cigarettes and other items in a failing attempt to remain competitive with grocery stores.
Stores that put mini-bottles near the check-out counter, like it was gum, apparently in order to remain competitive with grocery stores.
With the state liquor control board busy coming up with regulations regarding the implementation of Initiative 502, the legalization of marijuana, information about after-effects of the Initiative 1183 doesn't garner much attention.
In April, KING 5 Investigators reported that 82 citations for selling alcohol to minors have been issued to "spirits retailers" across Washington since the law took effect last June. The state says that the compliance rate remains the same as when the state ran the stores — 93 percent of retailers are following the law and don't sell to minors. Well, that's true for the big grocery store and drug stores, where the state has run its "stings." But the big stores aren't the real concern in this area.
What about all the many, many smaller stores trying to compete with the bigger stores? The liquor control board, KING reported, hopes to conduct compliance checks at every retailer before the one-year anniversary of the new law. Good luck with that. (Compliance checks, or "stings," involve sending "trained" high school students into retailers who attempt to buy liquor. While enforcement is an art, not a science, this approach has flaws, including the one-time nature of it for smaller stores.)
What about shoplifting data? Are stores required to report how much liquor they lose to theft?
But these are nitpicks, considering the initiative was passed by consumers seeking lower liquor prices. How's that working out for everybody?
