Students may have noticed changes at Slate Café. This fall, Sodexo took over the campus dining at Mines from Aramark, and the changes are evident in more than the food. On the campus dining website, csmdiningservices.com, diners can find this week’s menu, a nutrition calculator for all the entrées, and send feedback or recipe suggestions.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a once very popular eighteenth century composer and pianist from Austria. Modern appreciation of classical music has dwindled greatly, though, perhaps because of lack of electronic influence or vocals.
“Time Out” by Dave Brubeck is more than just a jazz album, it is a jazz classic. Recorded during the summer of 1959, it was almost never released by Columbia Records. The album’s blend of unconventional time signatures and lack of standard tunes made company executives doubtful that it could be a success. Luckily, through an intervention by the company president Goddard Lieberson, the album was released, and despite a number of negative reviews initially, it became one of the most popular and well-known jazz albums of all time.
Some geeks attempt to hide their inner geek, others proudly scooter around campus with the latest D&D rulebook. Perhaps that guy or gal next door with 70GB of RAM is a nerd that you never knew. However, what about the people who do not clearly fall into any such categories? Meet Andrew Franson, the “doctor” down the hall who knows more about the sun than anyone could ever imagine.
For all students living on campus without access to a kitchen, it is possible to make delicious meals without any expensive equipment. The only instruments needed are a microwave, a fridge, and a rotisserie chicken. In less then 10 minutes, the chicken can be transformed into delicious ranch tacos. It is simple and easy and has a short ingredient list. If using a whole rotisserie chicken instead of the recommended two cups, double the toppings and other ingredients to share with up to 10 friends.
“As you get further and further into your careers, that never happens. No one ever tells you what to do,” said Mark Desrochers. Desrochers, a Mines alumnus, is currently working as the Vice President of Operations at PrimeStar Solar, a company that manufactures solar panels based out of Arvada, Colorado. Desrochers presented a seminar titled “Operational Excellence – The Ability to See,” and shared with students and staff the goals of operations within a company and the benefits that stem from reaching those goals.
Geneva, Switzerland – The existence of particles travelling faster than light has been deemed impossible since Albert Einstein laid out his famous theory of special relativity in 1905. That theory is being challenged, as physicists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (known as CERN) have clocked neutrinos arriving at a target 60 nanoseconds faster than light. Many in the scientific community are clamoring to begin independently recreating the experiment to verify the validity of the feat, but the team who originally discovered the faster-than-light neutrinos are very certain that their data is correct. They have released their results in the hope that someone will invalidate them.
Stocks fell following an announcement by the US Federal Reserve concerning an unconventional $400 billion treasuries trading plan that is supposed to boost the economy. Worldwide, many are concerned that their governments are not taking the right actions necessary to fix the job markets, and consequently are not willing to take risks on the trading floor.
