  • UNIVERSITY of ALASKA President’S Report
    UNIVERSITY of ALASKA President’s Report 2006-2007 “The Next Thousand Days” Letter from UA President Mark Hamilton The University of Alaska stands at the brink of tremendous opportunity. The next thousand days takes us roughly to our 50th anniversary of Alaska’s statehood, achieved in 1959. As we head toward this celebration, I ask this question: Have we done all that we can to make the 49th star on the American flag the best that it can be? We’ve made great progress, but we must do more. We’re a state blessed with an abundance of natural resources, from oil and gas to fish and minerals. Have we made the most of these resources, providing a maximum benefit to the Alaskans who live here? Are we preparing our young people to take the legacy jobs that will exist long after a new gas pipeline has been constructed? The next thousand days present an awesome opportunity to reflect on the past and ensure a bright future. At UA this past year we awarded a record 3,223 degrees and certificates – the most ever in a single year. Public confidence in our state university system has never been stronger. More high school graduates than ever are choosing to attend college, and they are choosing UA. The UA Scholars program has been wildly successful, beyond anything I had hoped for when it was first introduced in 1999. In short, we’re on a roll. We have many goals over the next thousand days. They roughly fall into one of these three categories: • Workforce Development – Strengthening programs aimed at producing an educated and trained workforce for Alaska,

  • List of Directv Channels (United States)
    List of DirecTV channels (United States) Below is a numerical representation of the current DirecTV national channel lineup in the United States. Some channels have both east and west feeds, airing the same programming with a three-hour delay on the latter feed, creating a backup for those who missed their shows. The three-hour delay also represents the time zone difference between Eastern (UTC -5/-4) and Pacific (UTC -8/-7). All channels are the East Coast feed if not specified. High definition Most high-definition (HDTV) and foreign-language channels may require a certain satellite dish or set-top box. Additionally, the same channel number is listed for both the standard-definition (SD) channel and the high-definition (HD) channel, such as 202 for both CNN and CNN HD. DirecTV HD receivers can tune to each channel separately. This is required since programming may be different on the SD and HD versions of the channels; while at times the programming may be simulcast with the same programming on both SD and HD channels. Part time regional sports networks and out of market sports packages will be listed as ###-1. Older MPEG-2 HD receivers will no longer receive the HD programming. Special channels In addition to the channels listed below, DirecTV occasionally uses temporary channels for various purposes, such as emergency updates (e.g. Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Ike information in September 2008, and Hurricane Irene in August 2011), and news of legislation that could affect subscribers. The News Mix channels (102 and 352) have special versions during special events such as the 2008 United States Presidential Election night coverage and during the Inauguration of Barack Obama.

  • 7. President's Report 2008-09
    Preparing Alaska for the Next 50 Years University of Alaska President’s Report 2008-2009 Preparing Alaska for the Next 50 Years University of Alaska President’s Report 2008-2009 A letter from UA President Mark Hamilton This past year has been one of tremendous change and challenge. We’ve seen oil prices skyrocket and then plunge, our financial markets spiral downward, and our friends, family and colleagues, mostly in the Lower 48, suffer the loss of a home, job or a loved one in war. We’ve watched our governor launch into the national and world spotlight as a vice presidential nominee, and we witnessed the first African American elected president of our country. We also somberly said good-bye to our longest-running public servant, U.S. Senator Ted Stevens, who lost re-election after 40 years. This is Alaska’s 50th anniversary of statehood. The years since 1959 haven’t been perfect—we often faced extreme challenges in the past, and we will again in the future. The University of Alaska is on solid footing while we adapt to fiscal realities and continue to serve state needs. Tough times can cause people to do one of two things; wring their hands in despair… or raise them up. At the University of Alaska, we’re raising up our hands to say, yes, we can meet the challenges of the next 50 years. We’ll work on Alaska’s tough issues, including educating the next generation, providing a trained and qualified workforce for jobs in Alaska, and ensuring our young people have the best opportunities possible, from pre- school through postsecondary education.

Cobb of the U.S. Geological Survey main- tained a truly exceptional database on the geology and mineral deposits of Alaska—manifested in hundreds of published mineral locality maps, bibliogra- phies, and compilations of Alaska references. His work anticipated a fundamen- tal need to define the mineral endowment of Alaska during the long process that culminated in the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1981 (ANILCA). Almost 20 years later, Ed Cobb’s maps, bibliographies, and publica- tions, outdated as they have become in some ways, remain a mainstay of Alaska geology, land planning, and mineral exploration. Geology is a cumulative science built on the work of our predecessors. No one produced a better regional geologic information database for others to build on than did Ed Cobb in Alaska.
