Hm. No market this morning due to street fair :( But we can go to the Columbia City one on Wednesday night.
The Seattle Cheese Festival is today and tomorrow, down at Pike Place Market. I don't know that we'll go. I had got tix for the cheese nun doco at the art museum for Fri afternoon, but Mr. Jaq had a late running phone interview so we didn't go. (He got the job though, yay!)

congratulations to mr. jaq!

i'd always wondered why the routing of the future LRT line through the u-district didn't go under campus:
Sound Transit moved its tunnel east from Portage Bay to the Montlake Cut, where the soil is more stable; and it agreed to a winding tunnel around the east edge of campus in a future phase, instead of a direct line that could pose vibration risks to UW science labs.

I've been thinking that the Columbia Tower needs a counterpoint. It takes up too much mental space on the skyline. Something like the Chicago Spire:

― jergins, Saturday, 9 June 2007 23:06 (sixteen years ago) link
(though they look evenly matched the chicago spire will be about 2x as tall when completed. but you get what i'm saying)

Dear Faculty and Staff:
I am writing to congratulate you for helping the University reach a remarkable milestone. This week, the University is announcing that for the first time, total annual funding for sponsored research exceeded $1 billion. These results are for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2007, and they include funding for research from the federal government and from private sources like foundations and corporations. Funding from the federal government comprises nearly 80 percent of this total. As you may know, the University of Washington has been the top recipient of federal funds among public universities every year since 1974. It has been in the top five for both public and private universities every year since 1969, and in recent years has been second only to Johns Hopkins.
Yet even with this incredible track record, this year marks the first time our total funding for research has topped a billion dollars.
This is an extraordinary accomplishment at any time, but especially now when federal funding is flat. It is due, of course, to all of you who participate in the University's research enterprise and who work so hard to garner funding for sponsored research. It is, in my view, the single most telling fact about the quality of the people who work here.
Competing so successfully at this level is truly an amazing feat, and I want to thank the many thousands of you who play a role and participate in our research for helping us reach this milestone.
Congratulations to everyone. You should all take great pride in being a part of this exceptional record of success.
Sincerely,
Mark A. Emmert President
