This document is a resume for Patrick J. Wile that outlines his experience in antenna design and testing over 35 years, which includes state-of-the-art phased arrays, high power jammers, and other antenna types. It also lists his education background and work history in roles involving antenna measurements, fabrication, quality control, and maintenance to support various production programs.
This is a historical perspective of Bishop Hartley Football, located in Columbus, Ohio. Decades of Bishop Hartley athletes have contributed to the greatness of Ohio football. For each athlete listed in the Bishop Hartley record books, there are ten additional athletes who are not listed; but they made a tremendous impact to the team. "It's not the most important thing we'll ever do, it's the most important thing we'll do together."- Dick Geyer, Bishop Hartley Football Coach

SC21: Larry Smarr on The Rise of Supernetwork Data Intensive ComputingLarry Smarr
Larry Smarr, founding director of Calit2 (now Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of California San Diego) and the first director of NCSA, is one of the seminal figures in the U.S. supercomputing community. What began as a personal drive, shared by others, to spur the creation of supercomputers in the U.S. for scientific use, later expanded into a drive to link those supercomputers with high-speed optical networks, and blossomed into the notion of building a distributed, high-performance computing infrastructure – replete with compute, storage and management capabilities – available broadly to the science community.
