“The reason UM [University of Missouri] chose PeopleSoft is because we have a 35-year-old system. Over time technology has drastically changed. It has become harder to maintain, and in a couple of years, the old Legacy system will not be supported anymore. By this I mean that the original designers will not be providing any more updates, patches or fixes.”
Doug Swink

“There is a theory which states that if ever for any reason anyone discovers what exactly the Universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another that states that this has already happened.”
Douglas Adams
“There is no rational reason to doubt that the universe has existed indefinitely, for an infinite time. It is only myth that attempts to say how the universe came to be, either four thousand or twenty billion years ago.”
Hannes Alfven
“This is a war universe. War all the time. That is its nature. There may be other universes based on all sorts of other principles, but ours seems to be based on war and games.”
William S. Burroughs
“(The agreement) provides reasonable protections for the university. We have every reason to believe that coach Davis will continue to carry himself with class and dignity.”

“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
Albert Einstein
