Our theme for the 2005-06 academic year, Raise Your Expectations is a fitting motto for the challenges our students, faculty, and staff face in the coming weeks and months. Achieving and exceeding our professional and personal goals requires great energy and enthusiasm ... "stretching" to reach our objectives is a lifelong discipline that pays dividends. I hope you too are raising your expectations and looking forward to reading about the events and accomplishments of the people of Indiana Tech. We have successfully started another academic year, and we continue to celebrate our 75th year as an institution of higher education. We have launched several new academic programs, the women's volleyball team, and many new student life activities, some of which you will read about in this issue of Trends. This issue of Trends also begins what I hope will become a regular part of future editions. We are profiling one of our finest and longest standing faculty members as well as our new head coach of the women's volleyball team. Both are interesting women and important members of the Indiana Tech team. Also in this issue is a profile of student internships and the important role the Career Planning and Development Center (CPDC) plays in preparing our graduates for the world at large. We intend to introduce our readers to more of the people of Indiana Tech in the coming months and years. As many of you read this issue the leaves will be turning beautiful fall colors....winter awaits as the seasons change. Every season for the past 75 years has seen Indiana Tech serve learners with vigor and enthusiasm. I am sure we will continue for many seasons to come! Raise Your Expectations! Best regards, Arthur E. Snyder, Ed.D. President Trends | Fall 2005 1 Friedman seated in Cinema Tech, an on-campus theatre location for Cinema Center, which she helped bring to Indiana Tech. Few people these days, it seems, can say they have been at their place of employment for over a quarter of a century. Indiana Tech is proud to have some of their own quarter century employees � eight, to be exact. Dr. Norma Friedman is one of those employees. Some may venture to say that Dr. Norma Friedman is Indiana Tech based on her multiple contributions to the university and numerous accomplishments in her 27-year career as a professor Dr. Norma Friedman FAC ULT Y P ORTR AIT: 2 of business administration and social sciences. Trends | Fall 2005 D r. Friedman took her first airplane ride out of her hometown in Massachusetts in 1978, when she was scheduled to give a presentation at Indiana Tech. By the time her presentation was over, she was offered a job to teach at the university, which she declined. Back in Massachusetts, eight weeks later, she received another call from Indiana Tech, asking again whether she would be interested in being an assistant professor. Being offered the opportunity twice swayed Friedman to make the move to Fort Wayne and accept the position. While teaching at Tech, she continued to fly back to New York once a month to finish her master's degree in adult and higher education, as well as her doctorate at Columbia University. Throughout her Indiana Tech career, Friedman has been offered positions at other institutions, but none of them were intriguing enough for her. She has been inspired by Tech's extraordinary growth as well as the professional growth opportunities that are present in this community. Some of those opportunities include consulting with other non-profit organizations, such as the Trustee Leadership Development, which is a national leadership program funded by the Lilly Endowment. She is also a published author and presenter and has been honored with numerous awards from Tech as well as organizations such as the Fort Wayne Women's Bureau. Many of the university's accomplishments could not have succeeded without Friedman's help. Early in her career, she showed her leadership by chairing numerous committees for curriculum development and management, faculty evaluation processes, college-wide assessments, and much more. Today, she continues that leadership by serving on Indiana Tech's Board of Trustees as well as being a liaison to the East Central Neighborhood. She and colleague Matt Hendryx continue to work on economic development in the area that the Fort Wayne campus calls home. "We want to have more of a connection to our local community and find ways to partner with them on initiatives," she said. Friedman also is on a Norma Friedman at a Glance Education Ed.D.

As part of a $1 million faculty development grant from Lilly Endowment, which Friedman assisted in procuring, she herself was granted a small portion to conduct research on the psychological needs of day school students. This summer, Friedman attended a highly selective program at Smith College that focused on investigating, reflecting, and discussing the practice of contemplative studies and the benefits of stabilized attention and concentration. This program helped her learn more about how to institute contemplative practices, which helps reduce stress, slows down and focuses the mind, and develops purposeful reflection and deep concentration. She hopes to present her findings to Indiana Tech students, faculty, and staff. As if her plate wasn't full enough, Friedman also is one of the initiators of the upcoming "RelationshipBased Education Symposium" that will be held on the Fort Wayne campus on Wednesday, Dec. 7. Faculty, staff, administrators, trustees and students are all encouraged to attend. The purpose of the symposium is to have an open dialogue about the concept and meaning of relationship-based education and its meaning for Indiana Tech. The event is considered a "practice" for a national symposium on this topic proposed for 2006 on the Indiana Tech campus. Friedman's influence on Indiana Tech is widely apparent and after all these years she continued to be a leader in our educational community. Friedman stands next to the cardboard cut-out of Albert Einstein she keeps in her office. Eisntein was a major inspiration to her career as an educator. 4 Trends | Fall 2005 Internships benefit students and employers alike. If you reside in Indiana, you have probably heard the term "brain drain" numerous times from local Chambers of Commerce as well as the state government. Indiana suffers from a low percentage of residents who hold a baccalaureate degree. While Indiana colleges and universities do a great job educating their students, upon graduation many leave the state to take their skills and knowledge elsewhere, thus inspiring the term "brain drain." As an initiative to help stop the departure of many of our graduates, the state has worked with multiple corporations and businesses in pairing them up with college interns from Indiana schools. The development of a Web site, www.IndianaIntern.net, helps make those connections between students, employers and universities. According to this Web site, internships provide students the opportunity to apply what has been learned in the classroom to real work experience. Employers benefit by adding fresh ideas and additional skill sets to their workplace. It also offers employers a chance to attract and recruit new talent. Many employers go on to hire interns full-time upon their graduation. Indiana Tech saw a great opportunity to expand its career counseling opportunities through this initiative. The primary focus of the Career Planning and Development Center initially was to focus on senior job placement, writing resumes and career assessment. When the decision was made to set up an internship program, they found success. Out of approximately 100 students who were interested, 81 of them were awarded internships this past summer. Many of those students have been asked to return this fall, or even offered full-time positions. The CPDC worked hard to connect with local businesses in order to find placement for the students. The CPDC sponsored a job fair last fall to bring companies to our campus to meet our students. According to Nancy Weikel, internship coordinator for the CPDC, many employers remarked how well prepared our students were in meeting with them. "Based upon our post-fair survey, 98% of the employers gave us a 4 or 5 out of 5 rating for their satisfaction with the college fair. Many of them even commented that Indiana Tech's was one of the best career fairs they've been to, as it relates to the quality and preparedness of our students." Nejith Fernando, a native of Sri Lanka and recent graduate of Tech, completed his internship working for the campus, under the direction of associate director of student life Joel Harmeyer. Fernando agrees that his internship helped develop important skills for his future career success. "My internship helped me with time management as well as leadership skills. I was also able to use both decision-making skills and problem-solving skills during my time working for Tech." Fernando would like to see more opportunities for international students in the years ahead. "International students are at a disadvantage. We can't work off-campus for pay. I would like to see more internships offered in the form of a co-op (gaining course credits for time worked instead of a paycheck)." Upon graduation, Fernando was offered a position at Superior Essex, who helped him gain a work visa to stay in the United States. "My internship helped me with time management as well as leadership skills." -Nejith Fernando Currently, the CPDC focuses primarily on day school students, but will also work with CPS students for job placement and there is a possibility for internship opportunities as well. They also hope to start working with students during their freshman year, by offering career testing to help them decide on majors and career focuses. The next Career Fair is Dec. 1 and the CPDC is currently seeking additional businesses to participate. Alumni are always a great source for company contacts, according to Weikel. Those alumni who own their company or have decision-making influence on hiring and who are interested in finding out more about Indiana Tech internships should contact the CPDC for more information.

Wilkinson, BSCE 1946 graduated from high school in Fort Wayne at 17. The Great Depression was winding down, but my parents couldn't afford to send me away to college. The only opportunity to get a degree was Indiana Technical College. I enrolled in the civil engineering department that September. In those days, Indiana Tech operated on a quarterly system. Nine quarters with 20 credits per quarter produced a degree. As the classified ads in such magazines as Popular Science read: AN ENGINEERING DEGREE IN 27 MONTHS. I was not an enthusiastic student. My grades were uniformly poor. I kept on for seven consecutive quarters. Because I was studying something in the national wartime interest, my draft call-up was deferred for a year. I received my draft notice on D Day, June 6, 1944, and 10 days later I was in the Army. Studying engineering almost got me killed. I scored high on the Army IQ test. Had I been drafted at 18 with no college, I probably would have been assigned to some service unit, like the Signal Corps or Ordnance Corps. Because of my engineering studies I was tabbed immediately for Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP). Under this operation, bright young men, the Army's possible future leaders, were sent to college. The commander of the Army Ground Forces objected, claiming that would deprive the combat units of intelligent soldiers. As a concession it was decreed that all soldiers picked for ASTP had to take their basic training as infantry riflemen. I sweated through 13 weeks of infantry training that summer in Alabama and at the end was assigned to Rutgers University to resume civil engineering I classes. But as 1944 wound down, the war in Europe wasn't ending as fast as hoped. The combat divisions needed replacements and ASTP proved a rich source. Bright young men were pulled out of ASTP and sent as infantrymen to Europe. They were killed, wounded or captured by the thousands in the Battle of the Bulge. After two months at Rutgers I was back in the infantry. I was in combat as a rifleman in the last two campaigns in Europe. My foxhole partner was shot in the chest. While standing nose to nose with a man from my squad a bullet took an eighth of an inch of skin off his Adam's apple. Our new second lieutenant was killed six days after he took over the platoon. Had OSHA existed then, I'd have filed a complaint. I was out of the Army around June 1, 1946, just in time to sign up for the summer quarter at Indiana Tech. By the end of the year I had earned a bachelor of science. The infantry did wonders for my scholarship and my grades were respectable. Early in 1947 I was at Indiana University at Bloomington, enrolled in the school of journalism, and I graduated in late summer, 1949. I went to Paris for a year, ostensibly to study French under the remains of my GI Bill allotment. The main reason I was in Paris was in hopes of getting a job in journalism. I didn't. I returned to the United States in the fall of 1950 and went to New York to go job hunting. It took six weeks for me to be hired as a copy boy in the 109-year-old Brooklyn Eagle. Within five months I was promoted to general assignment reporter. Early in 1955, the Newspaper Guild went on strike against the Eagle. On the coldest day of the year I began three months on the picket line. The Eagle went out of business because of the strike, and I was out of a job. I signed on with the U. S. Information Agency to work as press officer in Bombay. At the end of my two-year tour I concluded I didn't want to be a federal PR man and resigned. It was back to New York and job hunting. I was hired by McGraw-Hill Publishing Co. as an assistant editor on Engineering New-Record, a weekly news magazine covering construction. My combination of newspaper work and civil engineering background served me well. I was promoted rapidly and within 10 years I was the managing editor. In my final 12 years at McGraw-Hill I was chief editor of two mining magazines, continued on next page Trends | Fall 2005 11 Engineering and Mining Journal and Coal Age. Work for McGraw-Hill magazines took me to all the continents, to most of western Europe, to China, Siberia, South Africa, Colombia, Iran, Saudi Arabia. It wasn't all travel. Most of the time it was the old nine-to-five routine. I've done a lot of traveling on my own. I've lived and traveled in 61 countries, including such unfrequented places as Bhutan, Bulgaria, Mongolia, Namibia, Uzbekistan, Laos, Latvia. When I was 42, I began running regularly to reinforce my health and I'm still running. When I was 56, I ran the New York marathon and the Paris marathon two years later. At 59, I walked from Vienna to Innsbruck, 332 miles in 14 days. At 63, I climbed most of Mount Ararat, in Turkey. Ararat was my only mountain climbing experience. I decided I would not die of terminal vanity and didn't try for the peak. Also when I was 63, McGraw-Hill sold my magazines to a Chicago publisher, declared me an honorary 65 and retired me. I have little talent for leisure and I had an alternative to shuffleboard. From my earliest reporting days I wrote free lance magazine articles. I've sold more than 60. Among the survivors of the magazines that published me are Sports Illustrated, Family Circle, Parents, Popular Science, Smithsonian, Rotarian, Architectural Record, National Enquirer, Reader's Digest, and American Legion. It was easy enough to make free lance writing a full-time instead of a parttime job. As for being an engineer and never working at engineering, my wife says: "Engineers make good husbands. They're so handy around the house." In Memoriam We have learned of the deaths of the following alumni and friends: Roland Rushby S.

Plainfield is west of Indianapolis and will reach students in nearby counties and localities. This location will offer the majority of degree programs currently being offered in CPS. With Plainfield up and running, even more new locations are currently being researched, including Muncie, Kendallville, Gary and Kokomo. Classes are currently offered in Kendallville and Kokomo at off-site locations. Indiana Tech has formed a partnership with Fourth Wave, a high-technology holding company that seeks to be a worldwide leader in the management of emergency and non-emergency operations for governments, universities and the health care industry. Through an alliance with Ivy Tech, CPS began offering classes at Fourth Wave's downtown location in Session 3. New degree programs in niche markets not only attract new students, but they offer the opportunity to form new alliances with companies and organizations throughout the state of Indiana. Organizational leadership, criminal justice and information systems are three new degree programs being offered in CPS this academic year. Our admissions teams are working hard to tap into these new markets and to work with their local corporations to ensure adequate enrollment to get these exciting new programs off the ground. Offering new locations and new degree programs has undoubtedly added to CPS' increased starts and enrollment numbers this academic year. Numbers continue to look strong throughout the rest of the year. Out with the Old, In with the New Indiana Tech has seen many new degree programs, campus improvements and added locations over recent years. Change and improvement has been a constant within our university. In keeping with this theme, the Creative Services department, in cooperation with the president's office, has developed a new logo to replace the current blue icon logo, which has been in existence for at least 25 years. Our new look accomplishes a few things for Indiana Tech's image. First, we have gone back to emphasizing the university's official school colors of orange and black. Second, this new look creates a fresh, classic looking type treatment of our name and does not rely on an abstract icon to represent the university. Be on the lookout for more improvements to the look of Indiana Tech. Creative Services will be using this new logo to design a new range of print materials for the university. old logo 16 Trends | Fall 2005 new logo Warrior Men's Basketball Day Fri/Sat Sat* Wed Fri/Sat Sat Sun Wed Fri/Sat Wed Fri/Sat Wed* Sat Mon Wed Sat Wed* Sat* Date Nov 4-5 Nov 12 Nov 16 Nov 18/19 Nov 26 Nov 27 Nov 30 Dec 2/3 Dec 7 Dec 9/10 Jan 4 Jan 7 Jan 9 Jan 11 Jan 14 Jan 18 Jan 21 Opposer SportOne Classic Illinois Tech Huntington College Tri-State Tournament IU-South Bend University of Saint Francis Marygrove College Trinity International Tourney Taylor-Fort Wayne Grace College Tournament U of Michigan-Dearborn** Cornerstone University** Marygrove College Madonna University** Concordia University** Davenport University Siena Heights University** Location Upland, IN Indiana Tech Huntington, IN Angola, IN Indiana Tech Indiana Tech Detroit, MI Chicago, IL Indiana Tech Winona Lake, IN Dearborn, MI Grand Rapids, MI Indiana Tech Livonia, MI Ann Arbor, MI Grand Rapids, MI Indiana Tech Time TBA 3:00 7:00 TBA 3:00 3:00 7:00 TBA TBA TBA 7:00 3:00 7:00 7:30 3:00 7:30 3:00 Day Wed Sat Wed Sat Wed Sat* Wed Sat* Wed Sat Mon Date Jan 25 Jan 28 Feb 1 Feb 4 Feb 8 Feb 11 Feb 15 Feb 18 Feb 22 Feb 25 Feb 27 Opposer Aquinas University** U of Michigan-Dearborn** Cornerstone University** Madonna University** Concordia University** Davenport University Siena Heights University** Aquinas University** WHAC 1st Round WHAC Semifinals WHAC Championship Location Grand Rapids, MI Indiana Tech Indiana Tech Indiana Tech Indiana Tech Indiana Tech Adrian, MI Indiana Tech TBA TBA TBA Time 7:30 3:00 7:30 3:00 7:30 3:00 7:30 3:00 TBA TBA TBA Warrior Women's Basketball Day Sat Sat Wed Fri Sat Tues Wed Sat * Tues Fri Sat Tues Tues Wed Fri Sat Fri Date Oct 22 Oct 29 Nov 2 Nov 4 Nov 5 Nov 8 Nov 9 Nov 12 Nov 15 Nov 18 Nov 19 Nov 22 Nov 29 Dec 7 Dec 16 Dec 17 Dec 30 Opposer Edison C.

The topic of focus for this interactive event was addressing our responsibility during a national disaster like Hurricane Katrina. The forum was intended to demonstrate that the role of our university to develop and promote responsible citizenship applies to real life events. 3 Sept. 17th was selected as the date for Constitution Day due to the fact that on Sept. 17, 1787 the delegates to the Constitutional Convention met for the last time to sign the United States Constitution and presented it to the American public. A Constitution Day event was held on campuses nationwide. Forum Held at L Humanities Class Will Visit Italy Indiana Tech's next study abroad opportunity will be a journey to Italy in January 2006. Students will travel through Italy for nine days, complete course work upon return, and receive 3 credit hours of humanities electives. The course focuses on Roman history and culture. It includes guided tours of Rome, including the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the catacombs; Vatican City, including St. Peter's and the Sistine Chapel; the ancient port of Ostia; the island of Capri; Pompeii and Sorrento. The tentative departure date is Jan. 5, and the course is open to both traditional and College of Professional Studies students. For more information on how to join other students, Professor Susan McGrade, and President Arthur Snyder on this adventure, contact McGrade at firstname.lastname@example.com, or (260) 422-5561, ext. 2358.

If You See Kay Wine is going racing! Tuareg 2013 here we come!
View Single Post
Joined: Jul 2003
Location: Colorado Springs, CO
Oddometer: 12,022
The way it worked out, I was traveling when the Tuareg came together. I arrived home with about 5 days to build the bike and send it on its way to Oakland to go in the container.
Luckily, C.Vestal is my shop neighbor and I know his weaknesses. So, I had help.
The first step was stripping it down to nothing and getting comfortable with the underpinnings.
Her enduro clothes came off, and valves were checked, bearings greased, fluids changed, everything I could do to get the underlying bike sorted. Then it was time for Chris to work his magic on the front end:
I had taken at least two of everything required to make a rallybike to Dakar, and used only what was on the bike. The only part I had to buy for the Tuareg was a gas tank- Jason at MX1West helped me out with that.
In addition, I put on some other parts I really trust:
- Dirt Tricks gearing- 15/48, and I brought 14 and 46 sprockets to give me a pretty good range of options, together with a new chain.
- BRP damped submounts and chain guide
- 7602 racing Carb vent filter
- FMF Megabomb exhaust and 4.1 silencer
- Cycra Handguards w/ BRP threaded inserts (bombproof!)
- Wolfman custom fairing bags- the best for carrying a few odds and ends
- F2R Roadbook
- System Tech fork bleeders
- Touratech GPS mount
- Scotts steering stabilizer
Suspension was my spare set from Dakar (open chambers with stock 2009 XCW valving and .50kg/mm springs, stock rear valving w/ 8.0 spring), spare wheels from Dakar, spare tires and mousses from Dakar... basically, I built the bike from leftovers lying on the shelf. Good thing, too, because there's not much time to order anything in 5 days!
Here's the final product, I have no idea what my expression is about
I loaded it in my van together with Wild Man's ex-Jonah 525, cRAsH and AnnieGS drove it out to Oakland, and it went in the crate. Here's the US lineup:
The plan had been set in motion!
Doubletake Mirrors
- Folding D/S mirror that is both useful and indestructible.
Dual Sport Riding Techniques DVDs
: Clear instructional DVDs to improve off-road skills.

The only magic I still believe in, is Love....
I still believe the most important thing in life is our health, being happy, laughing often, keeping life interesting, and just enjoying the rest of the time I have on this earth. Along the way, I've lived, loved, lost, and learned. Sure I have some regrets (who doesn't), but through it all I've tried to live by the words of the Dalai Lama to "Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon." Overall, I've been very fortunate to have some great friends along the way, and a wonderful daughter who will always the most important thing in my life. But there is absolutely room for someone else. I have traveled all over the world on business and still have several destinations I'm still determined to see or revisit. Nowadays, I'm fortunate enough to have found a career that I am truly passionate about. The only thing missing is that best friend, a companion to experience new things, travel, and just share good times with. But at the same time I am looking for the special woman to spend the rest of our lives together, married or otherwise. The person that I can share my most intimate thoughts, hopes and fears with that I wouldn't share with anyone else. If that sounds like you, I'd love to hear from you or just receive a wink. I would describe myself as a real man with a gentle side that still believes chivalry isn't dead. I guess I have a laid-back type of personality, but with a great sense of humor (maybe towards the cynical side), so I don't do drama, and don't get overly upset or emotional. I am not phony and definitely not a player type that will BS, or sweet talk women when I meet them but just try to be honest. I'm caring and sensitive enough that I believe I know how to treat a woman. When I find the right woman I am totally committed and strictly a one woman man. I can be a very romantic person that's not afraid to hold hands in public or show discrete pda's with that special someone. I would want to spend the majority of our free time together, whether out having fun, dining out or cooking, going for walks, even running errands or just hanging out and talking. Aside from that if you want to more about me you really have to get to know me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Travel, anything Boston sports related. Riding my motorcycle with someone special on a beautiful sunny morning. Cooking a great meal with my partner.
I love to cruise. Would also like to see more of Europe some day. I enjoy the history and architecture of the European cities.

Heavy Smoking And Genetic Mutations
US researchers said Wednesday that heavy smokers who get lung cancer may have tens of thousands of genetic mutations.
A team of researchers at Roche's biotechnology unit Genentech in California compared all the genetic changes in a 51-year-old man's lung tumor with healthy tissue from the patient. The man had smoked an average of 25 cigarettes a day for 15 years before the tumor was removed. The researchers found 50,000 genetic mutations.
"Fifty thousand is a huge number. No one has ever reported such a high number," said Zemin Zhang of Genentech.
"This is likely associated with the smoking history of the patient. It is very alarming," Zhang said in a telephone interview with Reuters.
Smoking is the biggest single cause of lung cancer, and studies suggest mutations occur with each cigarette smoked.
Zhang said the ratio between the number of cigarettes the person smoked before his tumor was removed and the number of mutations in the tumor suggest that for every three cigarettes he smoked, one genetic mutation occurred.
Zhang said it gets more complicated, noting that there are DNA repair mechanisms in the body that help protect against the damage of smoking, but these become less effective over time.
The team was so shocked by the discovery they had to recheck to see if they made errors somewhere. They also looked for anything unusual about the smoker whose tumor they studied. They found nothing unusual, Zhang told Reuters.
The findings could make people contemplating taking up smoking to think twice. "If you imagine over a lifetime you are going to develop this many mutations in the genome, some people may think twice about it," said Zhang.
Gene sequencing technology made it possible for researchers to take on such a study. The advances made it possible to look at entire genomes, rather than searching for a handful of genes that appear to be especially important in certain cancers.
This new way of studying cancer shows a much more complex picture of the disease. For example, the researchers discovered areas of the genome needed to make proteins — which are important for cell survival — had far lower rates of mutations, suggesting these areas are better protected.
The findings, however, are only reflected in one man's genome, Zhang noted. "Obviously, we'd love to have multiple fully sequenced genomes in multiple tumors."
The price of sequencing an entire genome is decreasing rapidly. The latest machines coming onto the market from companies like Illumina and Life Technologies can map out a patient's entire DNA code for around $5,000.
Many companies are developing machines that will be able to do the job for as little as $1,000.
Zhang said his team worked with a private company called Complete Genomics in Mountain View, California.
The team's findings of the study appear in the journal Nature.
