“No man, however bold or however high he may stand in his profession,
can resist the benumbing effect of rules laid down by authority.”
Who should teach standards — faculty, practitioners, standards developers or some combination of the three?
At what point in an engineering or technical curriculum should students first encounter consensus standards?
Should students learn only how to apply standards, or also how standards are developed, revised and governed?

Cover bands are essential works. They refresh the global musical canon by returning recorded music to live performance, ensuring that American music remains a living vernacular rather than a museum artifact. Cover bands project a durable image of America as energetic, improvisational and rhythmically irresistible—long after the original recordings recede. The competition for dominance in artificial intelligence may be unsettled, but the competition for cultural influence that AI seeks to amplify was won long ago—in the melodies, rhythms and energy of the American Songbook.
No way we’re going back.

Northwestern University Financial Report 2024: $19.260B (Page 8)
Spoon University, a prominent online food publication for college students, was founded in 2012 by Northwestern University students Sarah Adler and Mackenzie Barth. As juniors living off-campus, they struggled to cook and navigate the food scene, noticing a lack of youth-focused culinary media. This inspired them to launch a blog combining journalism and food, initially for Northwestern students.
The platform quickly grew, engaging 100 students at Northwestern to create recipes, restaurant reviews, and food-related content. Its success led to expansion, with students from other universities requesting chapters. By 2014, Spoon University had spread to over 100 campuses globally, amassing thousands of contributors. Supported by the Techstars accelerator and later acquired by Scripps Networks Interactive in 2017 for approximately $10 million, Spoon University became a key voice in the food movement, empowering young creators
