It is stuff like this that makes me wish I was back in college.
UND-Led Team Launches North Dakota's First Educational Rocket
With a flashing blast worthy of a Hollywood special-effects crew, North Dakota -
I'm sure thats what coaches at UND and USD are telling recruits right now. Nobody is going to go recruit telling kids "Theres a chance you may never compete for a championship of any kind for your entire career".
I think the key word is plan, but you are probably pretty close to right, aff.

How are the weather conditions down there?
I worry that hot, humid southern weather will take its toll on our northern team after a day or two. We're not used to it in May (like we are in August).
Unfortunately the weather here has heated up a lot in the last couple of days. I was out at some sites on Tuesday and commented that it felt like July in ND. There was low humidity a light northern breeze and low 80's. Today the high is 90 and humidity is going up. Still, it isn't the oppressive heat that we get here in July and August.
Go Sioux !!

UND won a preliminary injunction allowing the school to retain its nickname and logo without consequences until the case reaches trial Dec. 10.
Someone has been reading Sica's posts.

Summit League? What the hell is that even supposed to mean?
Maybe it's named after Summit Brewing Company. Which would mean that UND is a shoo-in for membership, since Mark Stutrud, founder of the Summit Brewing, is a UND grad.
Just having some fun with 'SU's

It looks even worse than it sounds. Yuck.

SUMMIT LEAGUE NAMES NEW OFFICERS AND WELCOMES NEW MEMBERS
The Summit League has elected Gigi Spinazze of Saratoga as president. Vice president is Linda Cosentini, also of Saratoga, while Saratogan Danny Swanson takes over duties of treasurer.Is this the new conference?
Sorry, but that was the first hit in Google. Maybe it will grow on me, but my first take is ..uh...no. -
UND memorial chapel, fountain, memorial wall dedications are today
The UND Foundation and university and community members will celebrate the generosity of the late Roy and Elnora (Hopper) Danley at a dedication of the new Hopper-Danley Memorial Chapel: A Spiritual Center. -
The Canad/Alerus should get a nice little test next week with the EERC sponsored BIOMASS '07 conference to be held next week. I see from the EERC flyer that the exhibitors have been sold out. Attendance is supposed to be over 300 for the conference.

I have a meeting up at Whiting Field on Friday, so I may have to swing by Stonebrook CC in Pace on the way back.

Quiet leaders who are willing to make difficult decisions
Kudos first to novelist Louise Erdrich, who quietly turned down an honorary degree from the University of North Dakota because she objects to the nickname "Fighting Sioux." Erdrich is one of North Dakota's greatest artists.At some point the leadership at UND will realize that the prize for poor sportsmanship and illiberal stubbornness is simply too high.It's amazing how she is lauded for standing by her principles, yet she chastises UND for standing up against the NCAA for being "labeled" "hostile and abusive". BTW, the definition of illiberal is "Narrow-minded; bigoted."

UND LAWSUIT: NCAA asks judge to dismiss UND antitrust claim
NCAA attorneys asked a Grand Forks judge on Tuesday to dismiss the antitrust portion of UND's lawsuit against the association over a policy banning the school from displaying its Fighting Sioux nickname and logo in postseason play or hosting playoff games.In a motion for partial judgement, the NCAA claims UND hasn't proven that the association's policy banning what it considers "hostile and abusive" American Indian imagery in postseason play will restrict competition at large, only that the policy puts UND at a competitive disadvantage.

ICE HOCKEY: Parise Added to U.S. Men's National Team

Thank you Engelstads.

I'm sure that most of you have already been to the UND Facilities site and seen the great aerial photos they have of the campus and surrounding area. Warning, these are some big files.
This one seems to capture the entire campus with the exception of Ray Richards. I had no idea that the Wellness Center was that big.
Edit: I take that back. Ray Richard is on it. I just didn't move the scroll bar over far enough.

I wonder how much this proposed law will impact the number of Florida athletes in the BCS division.
Bill passed to require steroids tests for some high school athletes
Random tests for steroids will begin in July for high school athletes in weight lifting, baseball and football.The House approved the bill Thursday and senators approved it Friday. Now it heads to Gov. Charlie Crist, who indicated he would sign it into law.
During debate, some senators said it didn't make sense to single out the three sports.
According to the article, New Jersey and Texas have also approved steriod testing.

Just like last season, the New Jersey Devils biggest impact rookie was a former first-round draft choice and North Dakota Fighting Sioux alum. Last season is was Zach Parise making a big splash in New Jersey and this season it was center Travis Zajac.
The Devils went into training camp without a legitimate second line center, and though there was hope Zajac would be able to step right in after only two years of college hockey and no minor league experience, the common thought by most was that Zajac would be best served to apprentice in the AHL with the Lowell Devils before making the jump to the big club.
New Jersey fans have to be loving the Sioux.

North Dakota Rocket Launch
in Community
Posted
Brings me back to when I was a kid building rockets that we used to buy at Benner's, downtown GF. We would build them and go over by RRHS and launch them, somehow attaching to the car battery. We launched one multi-stage, but I can't remember what happened, though. Benner's was my favorite store when I was a kid. They had everything hobby-wise a kid would want.
