Jon Becker, '00 MS Civil Engineering, is nearly finished assembling a book from research on the limiting magnitude of nuclear energy (number, size, and type of nuclear reactors) that can replace the current magnitude of fossil energy (oil and coal) currently being consumed. The size of the recoverable oil reserves (taken from the BP Statistical Review of Energy) are used to determine the lifetimes of oil energy for the nine industrialized states and seven oil states. These comparisons and derivations define the necessity for world governmental support of the development and design of breeder reactors, and not dependency on financing by venture capital and index funds. It also examines why fusion energy will not save the world from economic collapse, for the simple reason that the available world oil reserves will be 95% depleted at least 10 years before the first commercial fusion reactor is available, and which may never be built for centuries to come. He hopes to have this book published in a couple more months.    Besides writing, Becker's other hobbies include online research into current news events, historical events, paleontology, astronomy, evolution, and geology (oil and coal formation).

JoJo Rizzo, '18 BA Business Administration, is a transportation manager in the trucking industry. Rizzo was born and raised in Las Vegas and enjoys spending her days either roller skating, bowling, spending time with her mom and/or fur babies. After graduating college in 2018, she moved into her first apartment in 2019 with her two loving, elderly chihuahuas: Tink and Pixie. Three months later, she bought the youngest of the bunch, which would be her Australian Shepherd Bailey Blue. After six months, she bought her first home in April of 2020. In the last couple of years, she decided to start traveling to popular roller skating events to meet other people who love the sport as much as she does. Once Rizzo became familiar with roller skating events, she began to start her own traditional roller skating event for Halloween in 2021 in Las Vegas. Fast forward to 2022, she met her boyfriend who she now enjoys spending time with along with family. The two of them both enjoy spending time at the gym, cooking, shoe shopping, or just being in each others' presence. After all of the life-work balance, she is able to make time to roller skate and bowl in her spare time. She's been a transportation manager for a year and couldn’t be happier. She became a roller skate instructor two years ago and teaches others. Also, she became a travel skater and has skated in 15 states. Where should I go next?
