The PM and HC limits for AK were sky high (barrly worth testing) and the NOx levels must have come down so that NO2 doesn't exceed the NAAQS of 53ppb and Ozone doesn't (regularly) exceed the NAAQS of 75 ppb so that it doesn't make it worth testing for.

No, that really isn't worth testing for then.

Oddly enough, Anchorage's issue were high CO levels back in the late 90's. Now that they are no longer considered a non-attainment area, they have no need to keep the expensive testing up.

...Tangent to that point, if Mankato State offers the degree, a business statistics degree can be very attractive to employers. SCSU incorporates its Information Systems degree into its business college, which may be along the path you're talking about. I took a roundabout way of getting that sort of degree with an economics major and microcomputer studies minor (which I just learned that department no longer exists at SCSU, rolled into the comp. sciences section of the math department). And I would argue taking the roundabout path in school held me back the first few years out of college.

The thought of sticking a fork in my eye would be more appealing :p

Brought the little one to her first hockey game this weekend. She loved it! It was well past her bed time (her bed time was when the puck dropped) and she was up and happy and excited the entire time! That is all on the slippers front. Morning tLodge! Happy day that ends in y!

:) Lil used to love the games when he was a baby. So much to see! (not necessarily hockey- just people and stuff)

The idea of a "business statistics" degree scares the ever living crap out of me... I don't even want to imagine what kind of hackery will boil out of that swamp.

The full title of the program was Business Computer Information Systems. There was a heavy dose of stats classes, focusing on data pertinent to business operations and computer processing. For my economics degree, I had the choice between the weed-out class from that department or the weed-out class from the Statistics department.

St. Cloud has its own stat department?

The pond behind our house (about 5 acres) stayed frozen over all day today. Expect it will melt tomorrow.

The tournament we added for next weekend is run by morans. They can't figure out how to upload the schedule to their site. I asked them to send it - they sent a .NUMBERS file. Not a MAC user so that did me little good. Forwarded it to someone with an ipad who "saved as" and it still makes no sense.:rolleyes: Not surprised they can't figure out how to upload this piece of ****, their web page probably rejects the goobledegook.

There's a question on this application I'm filling out that reads "I want to work because:" and I'm a little stumped on how to answer it professionally. Somehow, I don't think "because I need the money" is an acceptable answer.

Good morning Lodge.

Where did the year go? I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week.

Only one month, one week and one day until the world ends (supposedly).

It does seem like its snuck up on us pretty quickly.

My first thoughts would be that kind of a degree would lead to the area clowns that ran Evron into the ground.

Yup. Why would that surprise you?

I don't know if it still holds true, but when I was there the school boasted the most number of majors/accreditation fields of any school in the State of MN. The school has to offer all those choices because it lets everyone into the school who isn't my high school friend Ryan.

What is it that you're not digging in engineering? Did your exam not go as planned? If that's it, don't let one bad test dissuade you. If you're losing an actual interest in the subject, then it's time to consider switching majors. But let me say, accounting classes aren't exactly rip-roaring fun.

If you have an aptitude for the math, you might want to stick with something in that line of thinking. While accounting, investing, economics all have their charms, something in the line of physics, math, and statistics degrees would be much more marketable. Thinking along those lines, a combination of math and finance or math and economics would be a great path towards grad school. People in those fields with advanced mathematical skills are very highly prized. You can accomplish a lot in those fields with a strong understanding of calculus - total expected economic profits are found in the area between the two intersecting points of a marginal social revenue and marginal social cost functions.

Tangent to that point, if Mankato State offers the degree, a business statistics degree can be very attractive to employers. SCSU incorporates its Information Systems degree into its business college, which may be along the path you're talking about.

It's my 20th birthday today..I can't believe I'm already 20. Seems like yesterday I was turning 16 and passing my driving test. Let the countdown from 365 begin!

I just don't know. My best friend..his dad is the president of a fast growing engineering company.. Ever since I was 17 he told me, get a degree, and I have a job for you..I feel like this has really forced my hand into engineering..I did one engineering class each year through high school, and really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the three engineering classes I had last year, but to a lesser degree. I guess I feel like, while engineering definitely isn't an easy way out, that I'm indeed doing just that, by getting a degree as being handed a job.

I will complete Calculus II and pass. The calc based physics is killing me. I've gone to the tutor for help, as well as talked with fellow classmates. I always feel confident and able to understand things and then the tests are a disaster..I've never really had test anxiety or problems, so it's a head scratcher and highly frustrating.

I just don't know what I want to do with my life I guess!!

Word it differently. You don't want to make money, instead you strive to achieve financial independence.
