    Testimony of Brian Darmody President, Association of University Research Parks Associate Vice President for Research and Economic Development at the University of Maryland United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation Research Parks and Job Creation: Innovation Through Cooperation Wednesday, December 9, 2009 6262 North Swan Road • Suite 100 • Tucson, AZ 85718 (520) 529-2521 • Fax: (520) 529-2499 • [email protected] • www.aurp.net Research Parks and Jobs: Creating Communities of Innovation I am Brian Darmody, President of the Association of University Research Parks (AURP), and Associate Vice President for Research and Economic Development at the University of Maryland. AURP represents over 300 research parks and communities of innovation in the U.S. and world, and works closely with other organizations representing technology commercialization, seed and angel investing, incubator development and state economic development policies. Research parks account for over 750,000 jobs in North America, according to a recent study. This year AURP held its annual conference in Vancouver, British Columbia. On his 1927 tour to celebrate his solo flight across the Atlantic, Charles Lindbergh wouldn’t fly to Vancouver because the airport was too small. The Vancouver government immediately bought land and built a larger airport for the fledgling air industry, which today serves as a major hub for international trade to the Pacific Rim and major jobs generator for British Columbia. We view research parks as part of a nation’s 21st century innovation infrastructure, just as airports and railroads did in earlier centuries, and high bandwidth internet backbone serves today. Innovation is key to job creation, and support for innovation an important federal mission.

But that march toward freedom is not inevitable; it is advanced by in­ dividual acts of courage and will; by the strong voices of people refus­ ing to be silenced by their oppressors; by the willingness of free people and free nations to defend the rights of men, women, and children. He­ roes like Lech Walesa in Poland, Vaclav Havel in the Czech Republic. Nelson Mandela in South Africa, and Aung San Suu Kyi in Burma are powerful reminders of how precious our human rights are and how high the cost is to sustain them. The Bill of Rights and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that we celebrate this week are not mere­ ly proud words preserved on paper; they are a pledge written on our consciences and to oppressed people everyivhere, so that they too will some day know the meaning of dignity and the blessing of human rights. NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Con­ stitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim December 10, 2000, as Human Rights Day; December 15, 2000, as Bill of Rights Day; and the week beginning December 10, 2000, as Human Rights Week.

  • It's a Milestone Year for Our Columbus, Ohio Airport
    It's a milestone year for our Columbus, Ohio airport A new name, impressive growth and a modernized terminal are high points for CMH in its 87th year of operation. Beginning with opening day July 8, 1929, the airport has been associated with numerous iconic aviators such as Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart and Jerrie Mock. And now our growing airport bears the name of John Glenn. The tribute is fitting for this decorated Marine combat pilot from Ohio. He was the first American to orbit Earth aboard Friendship 7 in 1962. He later served four consecutive terms in the U.S. Senate and became the oldest person to fly in space at the age of 77 when he lifted off on the Space Shuttle Discovery. Glenn piloted his own aircraft until he was 90; he turns 95 this month. Throughout his life, Glenn has received numerous aviation accolades, including NASA's Ambassador of Exploration Award in 2006 and a Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama in 2012. Many more of his accomplishments can be found at this link. So now we are privileged to serve you as John Glenn Columbus International Airport, offering over 150 daily departures to 33 destinations on Air Canada, American, Delta, Frontier, Southwest, United and Vacation Express. While we transition to the new name throughout the coming months you'll still see signs of Port Columbus. Know that we're the same airport, working hard to connect more travelers to more destinations. Thank you for choosing CMH for your flight needs. You're the reason we've experienced 27 consecutive months of passenger growth and a 7.7 percent year-to-date increase in passenger traffic.
