Intercultural Competence courses are generally taught in English but provide speakers of all languages with skills for bridging linguistic and cultural differences.
Below are descriptions of some Intercultural Competency courses currently available.
Courses offered in the past four years.
▲ indicates offered in the current term
▹ indicates offered in the upcoming term[s]
ICCO 8513 - Intro InterculturalCommunicatn ▲
This course introduces the basic concepts and theories of intercultural communication using a fresh and practical approach. Students are encouraged to examine and analyze the driving forces behind both the purposes and means of communication in intercultural settings. They are expected to find the relationships between the actors of communication and the media in which the communication and interaction among the actors take place. They are also required to study and demonstrate the types and functions of various modes of communication. Students will be asked to understand and display basic skills in interpersonal communication and leadership.

ICCO 8570 - Comm in Multicultural Settings
This course examines the social, cultural and linguistic factors that play a role in how intercultural communication is accomplished in multilingual/ multicultural settings and will enable students to gain the knowledge and tools needed for effective participation in multilingual/multicultural communication. The course is designed for students in all programs (T&I, business, policy, and TESOL/TFL), who will find themselves interacting with people across varied linguistic and cultural backgrounds .
The goals of this course are to:
(1) gain the knowledge needed to understand and interact effectively in multilingual/multicultural settings. This includes knowledge about social, cultural, and linguistic factors in terms of how they interact with each other and how they affect and are affected by interactions in multilingual/multicultural settings;
(2) develop an understanding of the roles linguistic and cultural attitudes play in interactions across multilingual and multicultural settings and how they influence the success of such interactions;
(3) develop the awareness needed to successfully participate in multilingual/multicultural interactions. This addresses not only the knowledge and attitudes discussed above but also how communication/interaction is structured across cultures and languages, how communication is monitored while in interaction, and what factors support or hinder successful interactions;
(4) develop "tools" for understanding our own and others' ways of interacting in order to be able to participate effectively in multilingual/multicultural interactions across a range of languages and cultures.

ICCO 9511 - Intro to Conflict Resolution ▲
This course is an introduction to the field of conflict resolution and is intended to provide a solid foundation for further inquiry and application. The course is deliberately very broad and it so designed to facilitate students to pick and choose specific topics they would like to study in-depth in future. This course is both theory and skills based. Theories useful for understanding the root causes, dynamics and the resolution of the conflict (primarily inter-state conflict) will be examined. In the latter half of the course, students will focus on developing skills (primarily negotiation, mediation and facilitation) as third party interveners. Students will be encouraged to find their style of intervention, analyze complex conflict situations, develop intervention strategies and suggest methods and processes for implementing agreements reached.

ICCO 9515 - Env Sustnablty Across Cultures
Environmental sustainability is a global issue - one of the biggest challenges humanity is facing - and no one country can solve it alone. This workshop will focus on how to harness intercultural skills in order to achieve environmental goals domestically or across the globe. If you find yourself working in different countries or domestically with people from different cultures: Germany, Brazil, Egypt, China, India, Thailand etc., how do you get their environmental sustainability "buy in" via an understanding of their cultural behaviors, what they value and the habits that effect their belief system?
To get things done in our global village we need to take into consideration the countries and cultures of the individuals with whom we are dealing. In addition to politics, economics, policies and business practices, what are the cultural values, beliefs, habits and worldviews of one individual vs. another – eg: a Swiss person has a certain attitude when it comes to environment – and it is quite distinct from the environmental attitudes of someone from Egypt, Brazil, China, India or Thailand. What are the social norms of these cultures? Why is it that the Swiss are so strict as regards recycling policies, and how come their attitudes towards nature are different from countries where it is OK to throw trash into the natural environment and pollute? If you are asked to work with environmental issues around the world, how can you achieve your initiative through understanding the culture of the people you are dealing with?
This is a practical workshop where participants will work on a specific case of their choice to develop an initiative, taking into consideration the country and culture of the people with whom they are dealing. Students will walk away with a practical skill set immediately applicable in their work whether domestic or international. The skills learned are applicable in many settings and situations where participants find themselves dealing with sensitive and important issues across cultures.

ICCO 9518 - Women's Human Rights:Xcultural ▲
This course will focus on the global women's human rights norms as embodied in legal instruments such as CEDAW (Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women) and the Beijing Platform for Action and their acceptance, reinterpretation, redefinition or rejection in national and local contexts. How do religious, cultural and traditional norms complement and/or contradict global norms on women's rights? What types of advocacy efforts at local, national and international levels are under way to establish a dialogue among different constituencies with different worldviews on women's rights? We will explore different rights, such as the right to be free from violence of all forms, the right to freedom of movement, the right to political participation, to education, work and reproductive rights. We will examine some theoretical works, as well as case studies of different countries' experiences, with a special focus on countries with Muslim majority countries.
Fall 2013 - MIIS, Fall 2014 - MIIS
ICCO 9535 - SrvcLrng:Intl&DomstcCommPrtnrs
How and why do we bring learning out of the traditional classroom context and into broader communities? In what ways does this process expand what counts as knowledge? What skills of intercultural communication are necessary to facilitate bridging these different cultures, and what abilities does one develop as a result? And how do issues of hierarchy, status, power, and identity play a role in diverse interactions among students and community partners?
Spring 2014 - MIIS
ICCO 9543 - ResearchIn IntrculturalStudies
This course is designed to assist students to conduct a small scale research project in the field of intercultural studies. Students will be introduced to the basic concepts and theories of intercultural competencies and intercultural communication. They will have an introduction to quantitative and qualitative designs and methods of measurement and statistics. Students will develop a research proposal, collect data, analyze it and present the findings and the results to the class.
Fall 2013 - MIIS
ICCO 9544 - Crossing Cultures
This course will focus on the dynamics of crossing cultures. Through readings, discussion, and experiential activities, students will explore the challenges and processes of cultural adaptation. Examples will be drawn from immigrant stories, study abroad, and international business contexts.
Spring 2014 - MIIS
ICCO 9545 - Culture and Conflict
ICCO 9552 - Comunicatng/SoclMdia/WrldEvnts
Students will examine major means of intercultural communication such as mass media, internet, social media, travel abroad and consumer markets. They will analyze the impact of world events in shaping the intercultural perceptions, expectations and actions of the individuals and organizations. Students will reflect on their own interactions with social media and how they influence and are influenced by global events and media.
Spring 2013 - MIIS, Spring 2014 - MIIS
ICCO 9560 - Dvlp Intrcultrl TrainingInOrgs
The workshop is a comprehensive, hands-on introduction on how to design intercultural training programs and gain the knowledge needed to design and deliver cross cultural awareness programs within organizations - whether they are educational, governmental, not-for-profit or for-profit. This workshop is designed for anyone working in domestic or global settings. Designing any training program requires specific sequencing, skills and techniques. Participants will learn methodologies of cross-cultural training design, how to analyze an audience, structure and deliver an effective cross-cultural training program. Students will have the opportunity to learn practical skills immediately applicable and increase their cross-cultural training capabilities. By learning these skills, students will expand their toolbox and become a greater asset to any organization.

ICCO 9562 - Biculturalism&Multiculturalism ▲
This course will focus on the experiences of people who identify as Bicultural or Multicultural. Though reading first-person accounts, engaging with experiential activities, and studying theories of identity development, the dynamics of biculturalism and multiculturalism will be explored. The course will conclude with recommendations for supporting individuals with bicultural and multicultural identities.

ICCO 9563 - ExplrPrspctvsIntrcltrlComptnc
Exploring Perspectives on Intercultural Competence: From Theory to Practice
What is intercultural competence? How this concept viewed from varying disciplinary and cultural perspectives? In order to be most effective in developing intercultural competence in others, it becomes imperative to gain a deeper understanding of this crucial concept in the 21st century. Given the over five decades of work on this concept by scholars, there is a plethora of definitions and frameworks around intercultural competence. This course explores a variety of perspectives on this concept, as well as practical implications in regard to development and assessment of intercultural competence.
Spring 2014 - MIIS
ICCO 9570 - Comm in Multicultural Settings
ICCO 9578 - Women & War
War is increasingly recognized as a gendered phenomenon. In today's global context the need to study the impact of war on women as separate from men is very pertinent. This is because the changing nature of warfare has created many new roles and therefore new experiences for women in war. This course primarily focuses on the experiences of women, as combatants, victims and peacebuilders, in situations of violent conflict. Through an inter-disciplinary approach, students will learn to analyse the intersections between women as an identity group, culture, security, nationality and peace in periods before, during and after war. The use of case-studies in this course will provide a context specific analysis of the various dynamics of gendered warfare. Further, the political, social, cultural and legal measures initiated to mitigate the negative impacts of war on women and to promote a more prominent role for women as decision-makers will be examined.
Fall 2013 - MIIS
ICCO 9643 - SemPwr&Idntity/MultiCultrlWrld ▲
In order to gain Multicultural Competence, we first need to know ourselves, and reflect on our own identities. Our ethnic, gender, religious, national identities define who we are and shape our interaction with others. In this seminar, we will first examine our own identities and the cultures we identify with in a reflective and critical way. We will then focus on conditions and activities that are designed to foster shifts of perspective, expanded awareness and emotional states that allow empathetic understanding to develop. We will embrace a holistic approach to intercultural training, focusing on individuals' emotional, physical and intellectual experience of cultural difference. Activities will focus on the development and conscious application of key intercultural competencies, including mindfulness, frame shifting, and stretching beyond our comfort zones. The more we are able to be mindful, the more we understand our own stories and learn to extend themselves beyond their comfort zones, the more empathetic we can be when we make cultural transitions.
The second half of the seminar will focus on the political and sociological factors that shape national, ethnic, religious and gender identities through case studies of particular interest to seminar participants. What are the structural factors that constrain and what choices do we have as we construct our identities? We will examine the nation building projects in developing countries that constructed new 'national myths' and new identities in tension with existing ethnic, racial, religious and other identities. How has nation building empowered particular ethnic, religious, racial groups in this process at the expense of others? Whose cultures have been privileged, others suppressed? Where is the balance between maintaining cultural diversity and group rights, at the same time creating a state which erases group privileges in order to promote individual rights and 'citizens' whose primary loyalty is to the 'nation'? Has globalization brought with it even greater identification with local cultures? This seminar will attempt to explore these issues in order to provide a deeper understanding of Power and Identity in a Multicultural World as students prepare to make cultural transitions.

GRANT COUNTY, Wash. -- A high-speed pursuit of a stolen vehicle Wednesday afternoon led to the arrest of two Quincy men.
Grant County deputies said they answered a call for a vehicle stolen from the George area around 2:00 p.m. The owner of the vehicle said he picked up Gustavo Tapia, 18, after Tapia called asking for a ride. Tapia and the vehicle owner then picked up three other persons and drove to a location near George. When they got there, the vehicle's owner stepped out of the vehicle and Tapia jumped in the driver's seat and sped away.
A Washington State Patrol Trooper spotted the vehicle as deputies were writing a stolen vehicle report. The Trooper said he tried to pull over the vehicle but the driver took off at speeds reaching 100 miles per hour on eastbound Interstate 90.
The driver exited I-90 and stopped. Officials said Troopers, deputies, and Moses Lake Police surrounded the vehicle and detained everyone inside.
Officials said Tapia was arrested for attempting to elude police, theft of a motor vehicle, and DUI. A passenger, Adrian Diaz, 18, was arrested for a felony warrant. The other two occupants were released and the vehicle was returned to its owner.
"I really want to thank and highlight the Washington State Patrol and Moses Lake Police," said Sheriff Tom Jones. "They kept an eye out for the stolen car, pursued it, and were essential in safely taking the occupants into custody."

WEST LAFAYETTE | Soaking up the sun with his teammates and coaches during Purdue's annual media day, Mike Neal looked happy and peaceful.
After missing five games in 2006 with an injured right foot that required offseason surgery, the former Merrillville star said he feels blessed just to be playing again.
Even though Neal proclaimed himself 100 percent healthy Thursday, Purdue defensive coordinator Brock Spack said Neal needs to learn a little bit more about the intensity of the game if he wants to maximize his potential.
"Mike's a real nice kid and sometimes you can't be a real nice kid out here," Spack said. "I think that's a part he's learning. I think he has it in him, but he has to know when to turn the switch on and I think he's starting to figure it out. I think he realizes now you have to have a side to you when you put the pads on and step across the white lines that's a little different.
"I think Mike's going to have a huge impact on our football team this season."
Boilers head coach Joe Tiller said in May he expected Neal to start this fall. He said if he didn't, he'd be disappointed.
Spack acknowledged the junior defensive tackle/nose guard was beginning to assert himself and emerge prior to suffering the injury in practice four days before the Notre Dame game.
Even though he came back and played in the last four games of the season, Neal was hurting badly.
"I was hurting so badly I couldn't put pressure on the ball of my foot," Neal said. "I took pain killers and went out there and played and did what I had to do, but it was frustrating."
With his foot healed, Neal is hungry to take the field again.
He's looking forward to playing with roommates Alex Magee and Keyon Brown, a former Thornton star, and helping Purdue's defense regain some of the respect he thinks was lost last year.
Neal said he and the rest of the defense didn't like what happened last year at all -- Purdue allowed an average of 191.2 yards rushing, 432.4 yards of total offense and 26.7 points per game.
"That just can't happen," Neal said. "We were embarrassed. We've made that one of our priorities this season. I'm looking to play in the backfield more and pressure the pocket."
The 6-foot-4, 293-pound Neal continues his assault in the weight room. He surprised even himself by squatting 635 pounds this summer. He also cleaned 320 and benched 480.
Spack relishes the thought of playing Neal as a nose guard or tackle. He particularly likes Neal over the center.
"He's going to be an anchor," Spack said. "He commands a double team and is athletic enough where he's going to give some centers a hard time. Mike can make plays. He's really an end in a tackle's body.
"A huge part of our front this year will be our tackles and he's going to be a big part of that."

The cat-and-mouse game between ISPs and bandwidth-hogging P2P applications is almost as age-old at the Internet itself. If you've noticed deathly-slow torrent downloads as of late, it's probable that your ISP is manipulating (throttling, rate limiting, blocking or sandvining) your P2P / BitTorrent traffic. ISPs from all corners of the globe are desperately trying to decongest their networks, cut costs & maximize profits — all at the expense of torrenters. Here's 6 things you can do to verify that your Internet provider is a Bad ISP.
BitTorrent Throttled? Try a Private Tracker
The first thing you should do if you notice poor torrent speeds is to try out a torrent from a private tracker. I know this may sound silly, but here's a true story: A friend of mine in our building came to me last month and said, "Well, I guess Rogers Cable has finally cracked down on BitTorrent - I'm only getting 2 KB/s DL speed for the past three days on a new PC game ISO torrent with tons of peers". Curious, I asked him what tracker / torrent sites he's using. He replied, "Mininova.org, ThePirateBay and IsoHunt - those three" D'oh! He'd heard of private trackers, but never bothered to research it, assuming they were 'out of his league'. So I said, "Check your email, I've sent you an invite to www.TTi.nu". An hour later he was at my door, thanking me profusely, as he was now able to max out his connection. More than likely this story is not an isolated occurrence - many erroneously blame their ISP for their BitTorrent woes when they use public trackers exclusively. Now, if you're still getting piss-poor speeds from private trackers, then the culprit is most likely your ISP, or a really, really poorly-configured client/PC.
Additionally, public torrents from http://slackware.com/torrents/ are a good way to benchmark BT speeds, and should download fairly quickly. After running the slackware-12.1-iso torrent for 20 minutes, DL speeds averaged ~280 - 390 KB/s on our home 1.2 Meg (~1,150 KB/s) connection:
**The truth is - no matter how many public torrents you are simultaneously leeching, and regardless of their health (S/L ratio), you'll probably never, ever be able to hit even half
of your broadband's top DL limit. And that's being generous.**
Glasnost Test
Ah yes, the Max Planck Glasnost BitTorrent test. Hands down, it's the easiest test you'll ever do to discover if your ISP is manipulating BitTorrent traffic - all that's needed is a web browser and Java. Six months ago when TorrentFreak first ran the story, finding an available slot was a difficult chore as Planck's hosting servers were hopelessly busy. Lately though, we've rarely come across a time when we've had to wait.
In short, the Glasnost test performs simulated upload and download diagnostics for BitTorrent and TCP transfers for a tester's ISP connection. While the results below indicate a potential problem with uploading (seeding) for BitTorrent, 108 KB/s upload rate is, in actuality, a very satisfactory number.
Many users have scrutinized the Glasnost test as being unreliable. For one reason, it conducts testing on common BitTorrent port numbers: 6881 (which, heaven forbid you should ever be using as a port # in a BT client, anyway) and 10009 (which, while an unassigned port, may still be a throttled port). It'd be great to see a Glasnost test where users can either input their own port number for the exam, or if they'd emphasize on a third option which incorporates (random) ports from the dynamic and/or private ranges between 49152 through 65535 (which have long been known as good port numbers, especially for BitTorrent/P2P clients).
We contacted Marcel Dischinger from Max Planck with our suggestions, who promptly responded, "I am currently working on enhancing the test and I will take your suggestions into consideration. Especially randomizing the non-BT port seems to be a good idea." Great news, indeed!
(NNMA) NNSquad Network Measurement Agent
The NNSquad Network Measurement Agent (NNMA) monitors network activity on computer systems, looking for and flagging a variety of potential problems. When it comes to BitTorrent sandvining, NNMA also includes a special function that attempts to detect reset (RST) packets that may have been injected into a TCP connection by any entity not located at the connection endpoints.
NNMA comes as an installer for Windows computers only (2000, XP, Vista). You'll also need WinPcap, which comes bundled in with the installer. After installation, click on the blue/yellow icon in your taskbar - this will launch the web-based portion of the test. From the new browser window (http://127.0.0.1:88/) you can now select a variety of options. Select Network > All Connections.
Before you run the test, we recommend that you fire up your BitTorrent client (with seeding/leeching torrents). If you desire NNMA to show the connections for BitTorrent only, then enter the port number that you use in your BitTorrent client, and hit FILTER.
If you suspect your BitTorrent is being throttled or sandvined, and you begin to receive a lot of messages that pertain to 'Detected forged TCP Packet… Suspicious RESET packet' (see below), this might be an indication that your ISP is messing with your BitTorrent. It can also be a sign that you're using bad public torrents which have been planted by the MPAA / RIAA, as well. *Note: It can also occur as a false-alarm (i.e. unrelated to BT) for those who are not being throttled.
Azureus/Vuze 'NEWS' Plugin
NEWS, or Network Early Warning System, is a plugin which allows your Vuze client to monitor the Internet (and your ISP). It does this by passively monitoring your BitTorrent performance and checking for changes that might indicate problems with the network.
While NEWS is not designed for specific BitTorrent problems (at the individual level); it's more inclined towards a group of users that are experiencing similar anomalies. A perfect example of this would be a large ISP that throttles BT traffic - data is collected, compared and sent back to the user upon detection (read more about it here).
NEWS works with both 2.5.x and 4.0.x versions of Vuze. Download NEWS from here. To install, switch to the classic view in Vuze, and choose Plugins > Installation Wizard… By File - and browse to the *.jar file (currently it's "news_1.0.1.jar" for Vuze 184.108.40.206). You should now see a NEWS menu item under Plugins - here you can configure it.
NEWS (Vuze) will now report any (and all) suspected network problems in a taskbar popup. We probably needn't say this, but we received many more 'anomalies' when using public trackers as opposed to private ones. Don't be alarmed by the volume of reports - even on our ISP that doesn't seem to be throttling BitTorrent, we still generated quite the eclectic array of anomalies (mostly pertaining to latency, total up & down rate, and packet loss rate). These popups can be disabled in the NEWS plugin configuration, and then only confirmed anomalies will be reported.
The Gemini Project
We won't dig too deep on this one, as it requires two users from the same ISP. To prove the existence of file-sharing traffic shaping and throttling can be difficult, especially if one seeks for evidence on a single computer, but the process gets easier if a test is performed by two remote users exchanging given data packets through BitTorrent. That's where the Gemini Project comes in.
In short, both users install a Ubuntu LiveCD and connect to each other remotely, whereby one is the seeder and the other is the leecher. Incoming and outgoing traffic is compared & analyzed - a high number of dropped and/or forged packets indicates an ISP's involvement in BitTorrent tampering (packet injection).
Wireshark is the world's foremost network protocol analyzer, with a rich set of features including deep inspection of hundreds of protocols. Wireshark requires WinPcap (under Windows environments) which is included in the installer.
We'll leave the interpretation of Wireshark up to the professionals at www.EFF.org, who have put together an amazing guide entitled Detecting Packet Inspection. To grossly oversimplify it, if you're receiving an abnormally high number of RST flags in the capture results, then it's a good indication that your ISP is meddling in your torrent transfers.
Torrent Moon Says:
Great tips. I'll try using these softwares.
Chris Hanlon Says:
This is really helpful, thanks a bunch sharky!
Soulnova Says:
It happens more and more. Where I work I hear it continuing to be whispered in the back hallways. Some of the local business are already requesting that we start throttling for them so they would not have to do it.
I get to see the world from inside the ISP out and its amazing the things that are requested of us.
Just the other day we had a Copyright violation from one of the City Hall Buildings. They called us (it was our fault?) and complained that they were blocking the protocol and that we must do something to stop this.
I work very hard to stress them that despite the measures we might take as an ISP there are ways around them. And that even if we do start to throttle, filter, or block P2P traffic there is normally a simple and relativity cheap way around it.
I just have to make sure I am not being so obvious with my knowledge that I call down the questioning eye.
Mr. Nova
Yatti Says:
Rogers Inc up here in Canada throttles for sure.. As does Bell Sympatico Internet.. Which leaves us with zero options.. Espescially since wholesale DSL gets hit by Bell..

Graduate Programs
M.S. in Vision Science
The Master of Science in Vision Science is designed to provide experience in vision research methodology through the development and execution of an original research project, and completion and defense of a research thesis. The curriculum is based on a total of 36.25 credit hours of study.
The College seeks to admit students into this program who possess the qualities necessary for success in research. The goal of the program is to train students (especially optometrists) to perform original research in vision science. There are two ways to earn this degree:
Dual OD/MS Degrees
Designed for optometry students who wish to earn a Master of Science (MS) degree while studying for the Doctor of Optometry degree, the MS degree in the dual degree program is available at no additional cost to qualified students who are enrolled in the College's OD degree program.
Stand-alone MS Degree
Designed for candidates who wish to earn the MS degree without enrolling in the College's OD degree program. Qualified candidates must have a college-level background in science or a professional degree. This is a single, tuition-based graduate degree program.
The MS program features graduate-level courses, seminars, an original research project, and completion of a thesis with a thesis defense. The dual OD/MS degree is completed within the time frame of the four-year professional degree program and involves modifications to the course sequence in the OD curriculum. The stand-alone MS degree is usually completed in two years.
The Master of Science in Vision Science program is designed to develop the analytical thinking and problem-solving skills needed to be a successful scientist. The program emphasizes research in an area of vision science that is determined by the student's interests and the expertise of the graduate faculty, as defined by their ongoing research programs.
Students who are accepted into this program will have training in areas not typically available to optometry students. This will provide enhanced career opportunities. MS degree candidates develop skills that can help them contribute new knowledge to the field, help them assess new scientific developments relevant to optometry, and enable them to be more competitive for residencies and academic and industry positions following graduation. The graduates of this program have the potential to become intellectual leaders in the profession.
Application for the OD/MS or Stand-Alone MS Program
OD/MS and Stand-Alone MS Curricula
OD/PhD Dual Degree Program with Boston University School of Medicine
Program of Study
The Division of Graduate Medical Sciences of the Boston University School of Medicine (GMS), and The New England College of Optometry (NECO) have established a combined Doctor of Optometry (OD) and PhD program. The core curriculum for the proposed program incorporates the professional curriculum of the New England College of Optometry and adds the requisite curriculum of the post-Master's graduate programs of the Division of Graduate Medical Sciences at the Boston University School of Medicine. This sequence is similar in its programmatic elements to the Boston University MD/PhD program.
Students in the combined degree program will complete the first two years of the optometry professional program. Assuming satisfactory academic performance standards have been met during these two years, the student will then begin the post-Master's Ph.D. curriculum at Boston University as proscribed by the department or program into which they have been admitted. Depending upon the department and the major advisor chosen among the primary faculty, individual trainees of this program can qualify in any of the following disciplines: Anatomy, Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology, Genetics and Genomics, Molecular Medicine, Behavioral Neuroscience, Biomedical Neuroscience, Microbiology, Immunology, Pathology, Pharmacology, Physiology, Biophysics or Medical Nutrition Sciences.
Upon completion of this program and satisfactory defense of the dissertation, the student will return to the New England College of Optometry to complete their clinical training. Upon completion of the requirements for the Doctor of Optometry degree, both degrees will be conferred at the respective commencements of the two participating institutions.
Institutional Profiles and Research Facilities
Admissions to the OD/PhD Dual Degree program
The Admissions Committee and the Graduate Studies Committee of the New England College of Optometry will review all applications earmarked for the combined OD/PhD degree program on an early action basis, with a decision by December 15th. OAT scores are required for admission to the professional program
If acceptance into the professional program is recommended, the names will be forwarded to the Admissions Committee of the OD/PhD Program at Boston University School of Medicine, Division of Graduate Medical Sciences. The Admissions Committee for the PhD portion of the combined program will render a decision by February 15th.
Matriculated students at the New England College of Optometry may also be admitted to the combined program during their first professional year by submitting a complete application.
Application for the OD/PhD dual degree program
Cost of Study for the OD/PhD program
Tuition and fees for the first two years of the OD professional program can be found here:
Tuition for the first year of the BU graduate program is covered through GRASP Credits of the Division of Graduate Medical Sciences. The New England College of Optometry will provide a first year stipend in exchange for laboratory assistant teaching. Following completion of the Ph.D. qualifying examination, continuing student fees are covered by the BU department in which the student is enrolled, while ongoing stipend support is provided by the student's mentor.
Upon completion of the dissertation, annual tuition for the remaining two years of the professional program at NECO will be the same as that which the student would have paid if he/she continued with the class in which they began the professional program.

Thursday gossip roundup: Andrew Garfield hates Robert Pattinson, apparently
Tom Cruise apparently knew Katie Holmes would win their divorce battle, which is why the pair reached a settlement so quickly, divorce attorney Debra Opri insists to Hollyscoop. "Katie's main concern was getting sole custody of Suri, and Tom wanted to protect his public image and keep the divorce out of the media as much as possible," Opri says. "In most celebrity divorces, image is the upmost concern because that is how they make their [income]. In the end, they all want the same thing: to save their public image."
Queen Latifah is looking to start a family via adoption, she revealed on a visit to "the View" this week. "I'm actually kind of working on that," the female rapper said when asked by Barbara Walters if she'd ever consider adopting a child. "I think I saw one of those specials — you know, those movies of the week. And it was like, I just always wanted to bring a child home."
While Andrew Garfield and Robert Pattinson might both be young British heartthrobs leading successful film franchises, they're reportedly not the best of friends. In fact, Garfield can't stand Pattinson, according to Us Weekly. "The truth is, Andrew can't stand Rob. He hates that they're put in the same category because they're both English and around the same age," a source says of the "Amazing Spider-Man" star. "Andrew considers himself a 'serious actor' and sees Rob as the equivalent of a cheesy boy-bander because of 'Twilight.'"
Sandra Bullock's new cop film, "The Heat," is seeing its share of action this week while filming in Boston. First, a bus collided with a truck from the production, resulting in injuries for 15 people, according to Yahoo's Movie Talk. And the next day, a fight broke out one block from where the film is shooting, resulting in a fatal stabbing in which one man was killed and two men were injured.
Channing Tatum isn't surprised his semi-autobiographical male stripper movie, "Magic Mike" is a success — and he's already got a sequel planned. "We're working on the concept now," he tells the U.K. edition of Glamour magazine. "We want to flip the script and make it bigger." Meanwhile, Tatum is more than happy to throw his hat into the ring when it comes to who should star in the film adaptation of the steamy hit novel "Fifty Shades of Grey" — under the condition that he co-star with real-life wife Jenna Dewan. "I'd only be allowed if my wife was Ana. She's read the books so I don't think she'd be impressed if she couldn't be Ana," he tells the magazine.

The Raskob Learning Institute and Day School has hosted more than 20 pediatric residents since June in an ongoing partnership with Children's Hospital and Research Center Oakland. In groups of two or three, the residents have toured Raskob, and learned about challenges faced by children with learning disabilities. Their visits are part of a program offered by Children's Hospital and Research Center Oakland.
"This has offered a great opportunity to talk with pediatricians about learning issues, and the importance of early identification, intervention, and referrals, as well as to let more professionals in our community learn about Raskob's Day School, Educational Therapy Clinic, and Diagnostic Program," said Polly Mayer, clinic director of the Raskob Learning Institute and Day School.
Through conversations with Mayer and Executive Director Edith Ben Ari, the pediatric residents learn about possible warning signs of learning issues that they may encounter when seeing children in their medical practices. Some of these symptoms may include a reluctance to go to school, as well as chronic stomachaches and headaches. The Raskob Learning Institute and Day School provides the pediatric residents with articles, referral sources, and a bibliography of websites and books about learning issues.
The doctors that direct Community Advocacy Primary Care Rotation (CAP) said that the pediatric residents find the experience informative and useful for helping families with children struggling with learning disabilities. One of the residents said, "This was the best activity in CAP! They had a wonderful presentation for us, nice handouts, great demonstrations, and allowed us to watch activities in progress at the school."

Greg Jones: Washington's "Comprehensive Solution" to Iran's Nuclear Program: Destined to be Neither
Negotiations on Iran's nuclear program are continuing in an effort to produce a follow-on agreement, termed the "Comprehensive Solution," to the November 2013 "Joint Plan of Action" (JPA). Much of the discussion of the Comprehensive Solution has focused on the terms such an agreement should include to prevent Iran from being able to produce nuclear weapons. However, this objective will not be attainable unless the agreement addresses key aspects of Iran's nuclear program, fixes the flaws in the JPA which seriously constrain any agreement and recognizes fundamental problems with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards as currently implemented.

Greg Jones: Tehran Could Get Its First Bomb Now in Just Six Short Weeks
In various papers since 2008, this author has outlined how Iran's growing centrifuge enrichment program could provide it with the ability to produce Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) and thereby the ability to manufacture nuclear weapons. On August 28, 2013, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) published its latest safeguards update which shows that Iran is continuing to expand its enrichment program.

On May 22, 2013, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) published its latest safeguards update, which shows that Iran has continued the rapid expansion of its enrichment program.

Victor Gilinsky: Sometimes Major Violations of Nuclear Security Get Ignored
The traditional justification for accepting nuclear power activities around the world, despite their obvious technological overlap with military ones, is that they are covered by agreements restricting them to "peaceful uses," and that any violations of these agreements would be detected in time by international inspectors or by national intelligence. The trouble is, even when solid information on violations is available early enough, the main countries on whose action international enforcement depends are sometimes reluctant to take needed action.

America's 1962 Reactor-Grade Plutonium Weapons Test Revisited, Greg Jones
In 1977, the U.S. declassified the fact that in 1962 it had successfully tested a nuclear weapon using reactor-grade plutonium. In 1994 additional information about this test was released. Though on the face of it this test would seem to definitively settle the issue about whether reactor-grade plutonium can be used in nuclear weapons, ironically the specifics related to this nuclear test have generated some of the most controversy.

Robert Zarate: The Non-Use and Abuse of Nuclear Proliferation Intelligence in the Cases of North Korea and Iran
One of the key assumptions shared by backers of military counter-proliferation is that with enough timely intelligence, the U.S. and its key allies can bomb, interdict, sabotage, and otherwise neutralize the nuclear weapons efforts of proliferating states. The presumption here is that it is the supply of intelligence, rather than the timely use and demand for it from policy makers and military planners, that is preventing more robust counter-proliferation activity. At some level this certainly must be true. Yet, in the important current cases of Iran and North Korea, it is nowhere near as important as the demand problem. The attached NPEC-commissioned study by Robert Zarate, Policy Director of the Foreign Policy Initiative, "The Non-Use and Abuse of Nuclear Proliferation Intelligence: The Cases of North Korea and Iran," makes this case forcefully. His conclusion, after detailing what is known about how we have used the intelligence we had on these programs, is that if we are unwilling to act on the basis of early proliferation information when only modest actions are needed, it is a mistake to assume we will be more likely to act later when more heroic measures are required.

Greg Jones: Is the West Playing a Game With Iran That It Has Already Lost?
As Iran's nuclear program progresses, policy and opinion makers have crowded the airwaves pleading either to negotiate a "solution" or, more recently, to bomb or sanction Iran's nuclear activities away. The presumption is that the "window of vulnerability" for Iran's nuclear-weapons related activities has not quite closed, and that there's still time before Tehran "gets" the bomb. This, however, may be wishful thinking. In his most recent analysis of Iran's nuclear activities, "Is the West Playing a Game With Iran That It Has Already Lost?", NPEC's Senior Researcher, Greg Jones, makes a convincing case that negotiating a deal with Iran or launching a military strike to prevent it from acquiring a quickly reconstitutable bomb option is no longer possible. As for sanctions, they are unlikely to block Iran's further nuclear progress. This, Jones argues, may explain why, after a year of Israeli agitation for a military strike and extensive international efforts to cut a diplomatic deal with Iran, nothing has happened. Jones' key recommendation, and one that has received far too little attention, is that the U.S. and other key nuclear supplier states focus on preventing future Irans. Specifically, Jones recommends that the strictures against making nuclear fuel contained in the United States-United Arab Emirates (UAE) civil nuclear cooperative agreement of 2009 be applied to all civilian nuclear cooperation with states that lack nuclear weapons. As Jones explains, if no action is taken to tighten existing nuclear controls, Iran and other states are likely to push ahead with "declared" nuclear fuel making activities producing a world full of Irans.

Richard Cleary: Persuading Countries to Forgo Nuclear Fuel-Making
Two weeks ago, word leaked out that the Obama Administration was putting the finishing touches on a U.S. civilian nuclear cooperative agreement with Taiwan that required it to forswear making nuclear fuel, a process that can bring states to the very brink of making nuclear weapons. This was the second time the U.S. had met the nonproliferation "Gold Standard" for such agreements, a standard the Obama Administration first met with the finalization of the U.S.-United Arab Emirates nuclear cooperative deal in 2009. What's odd is that almost as soon as news of this diplomatic success with Taiwan got out, the State Department seemed to want to disown it. "You know, I really don't like this term, the 'Gold Standard,'" Rose Gottemoeller, Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, said at a conference in Omaha. "The notion that somehow everything else we're doing already is not served by our policy with regard to the [nuclear trade] agreements does not sit well," she explained. Perhaps, but members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs have repeatedly complained that the State Department may be all too willing to negotiate nuclear cooperative agreements with Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and South Korea that would fail the Gold Standard. Why are the members of the Committee so anxious on this score? They have been around long enough to know how well America has fared in its past efforts to persuade other countries to forgo making nuclear fuel. That history is mixed. Richard Cleary of the American Enterprise Institute details it well in NPEC's recently released volume Nuclear Nonproliferation: Moving Beyond Pretense. Mr. Cleary's chapter, "Persuading Countries to Forgo Nuclear Fuel-Making: What History Suggests," assesses how well America fared in its efforts to get Iran, Brazil, South Korea, and Pakistan to forgo making nuclear fuel. His conclusion: for all of its efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear fuel making, the U.S., so far, has hardly been "steadfast", but making the Gold Standard stick might yet set matters on a sounder footing.
The Nonproliferation Policy Education Center (NPEC), is a 501 (c)3 nonpartisan, nonprofit, educational organization
founded in 1994 to promote a better understanding of strategic weapons proliferation issues. NPEC educates policymakers, journalists,
and university professors about proliferation threats and possible new policies and measures to meet them.

text: Well...my daughter suffered a huge set back this weekend. She is the baby that was born on Dec 16th at 1 lb 7 oz due to PE/placental abruption. I received a call at 2am from her nurse stating that she had apnea spells every 10 mins. Prior to this, she was on room air, breathing like the rest of us, starting to feed by bottle, and can maintain her own body temp and weighed 3 lb 8 oz. So, the events that occurred this past Sunday was both disappointing and heart breaking. Of course I rush to the hospital and while I was there, surely she was having these spells. They had suspected that she had an infection, so they started her on antibiotics. By this time, my daughter had regressed back to CPAP due to her spells. But, eventually, even the CPAP was not working. I watched my daughter turn blue and they had to resuscitate her twice right before my eyes. I thought I was going to pass out in fear. They got a heart beat and respirations, but had to continue with the assisted breaths in order to sustain her. Her dr. came in from home and immediately intubated her. Now, my daugher who was without any assitance on breathing, feeding by bottle, gaining weight, on her way to an open crib, was now back on the ventilator. We found out yesterday that she has Group B Strep that has caused a swollen lymph node (mass) in her next with cellulitis, as well as pneumonia. A HUGE set back and heart breaking. When I saw her with the new vent and all the i.v./ pic lines etc, I wanted to die. The dr said that she was progressing well on the new antibiotic and she liked the way she looked compared to Sunday, but I am like, NO...I don't like the way she looks. My child is back on the vent, has pneumonia with her extremely weak lungs and body, and is in pain (they had been sedating her to ease her pain). From a medical perspective, it may look good, but from a mom's perspective, it is heart breaking and not good. Her calcium was low again and she had to have another (her 4th) bld transfusion. When I sleep, all I can see is her face turing blue and them resuscitating her. It is a nightmare. Thanks for listening/reading.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
The peace we seek cannot be brought about through a struggle for dominance in military or economic power. It can be won only through peaceful means. Peace built on the unhappiness and sacrifice of others is a meaningless sham. What's needed is to create a world in which people of all races and nations can enjoy peace and happiness.<< Yesterday Today Tomorrow >>
These excerpts are from "Buddhism Day by Day: Wisdom for Modern Life " by Daisaku Ikeda. This book is available for purchase at the online store Online Bookstore or your local SGI-USA Community Center bookstore.

President Obama made the right decision to supply small-arms support to Syrian rebels. Restoring the balance of power between the rebels and President Bashar Assad either will result in peace negotiations, a divided and weakened Syria or the civil war continuing. These outcomes are all in the best interests of the United States and our allies. Negotiations hopefully will result in democracy and the end of Assad's rule. In as much as there are no allies of our nation in this conflict, we win if they continue to weaken each other.
There are many voices that talk about the humanitarian crisis. This is a civil war, and it's clear that the deaths of more than 93,000 people don't concern the Assad government or the rebels. If they have no regard for their own people, the rest of the world as well can dismiss their wellbeing.

While a large community of people love, and practically worship, electronic dance music, many people don't consider it to be music at all. Many people feel that EDM is simply a loud and messy culmination of sounds and that it greatly lacks any form of musical talent. Being a lover of all electronic music, I strongly disagree; however, I have recently fallen in love with an electronic band that I feel possesses more musical talent than most: Empire of the Sun.
In my opinion, Empire of the Sun blurs the line between EDM and indie pop, but I understand that some would disagree with me—not considering them an EDM group whatsoever. Regardless of opinions about what genre Empire of the Sun falls under, one can't deny the fact that this band produces upbeat powerful melodies that vibrate the heart, send chills up the spine and make one simply want to dance.
Empire of the Sun performed at EDC in Las Vegas earlier this summer, and was practically the only electro band there to actually have instruments on stage. So for those who argue that electronic artists don't posses any musical talent, I think studying the music of Empire of Sun might change their minds.
Empire of the Sun is an Australian-born duo comprised of Luke Steele of the alternative rock bank, The Sleepy Jackson, and Nick Littlemore of EDM group, Pnau. The duo released their first album "Walking on a Dream" in October of 2008 which went platinum in Australia and gold in the U.S. Their singles such as "Walking on a Dream," "We are the People," and "Standing on the Shore," also rose high on the charts in Australia, New Zealand, the U.S. and the U.K. With the release of their second album "Ice on the Dune" this past June of 2013, the band has again become extremely popular and has been touring and performing in music festivals such as EDC and HARD Summer in Los Angeles.
While many EDM lovers or people in the rave community love to listen and dance to Empire of the Sun's music, I encourage people who are typically opposed to that particular style to take a listen. It's electronic and it's not. It's an experience and it's definitely worth a listen.

Guest speaker: Professor Paolo Asso from the University of Michigan
Title of lecture: Africa & Africans in Ancient Roman Literary Imagination
Prof. Asso's in-progress monograph, Africa in the Roman Literary Imagination, examines the ways in which ancient Greek and Roman literary sources treat Africa, her gods, peoples, animals, plants, and inanimate entities. His presentation will examine the portrayal of Africaness in two Latin epics: Virgil's "Aeneid" and the longest poem in ancient Latin literature, Silius Italicus's Punica. In both the Aeneid and Punica Africans were described with as much awe as fear. Yet, as Prof. Asso will explain, racism did not exist in the modern sense of the word. Romans were both fascinated by and frightened of the African war and African physique, but they were never prejudiced against Africans. Romans saw themselves as a part of a nation defined by the territories it conquered, not by the race of its people. Asso's focus will be on this unique perception of Roman identity that included both the conquerors and the conquered.
Date: Monday October 14, 2013
Time: 5:30 PM
Location: Palamountain Hall - Room 202
Guest Speaker: Dr. Patrice Rankine
Dean of Arts & Humanities at Hope College
Title of lecture:In nova…mutates…formas corpora: Modernity, Performance, and the Persistence of the Past
Naomi lizuka's Polaroid Stories is testament to the resilience of classical myth in modern contexts, a reception of Ovid's Metamorphoses in company with Mary Zimmerman's well-known adaptation. The play brings to life the first lines of Ovid's epic: "I am moved to sing of figures fashioned into new bodies" (cited in the title in Latin). How do these "new bodies" of Ovid's transformations work on the modern stage? The critical models of performance theory and classical reception studies provide a rich framework for discussing some of the issues
raised when a classical work takes shape in the context of today's concerns, which might include questions of race, gender, or urban decay. Professor Rankine will incorporate theories and ideas from his book Aristotle and Black Drama and his forthcoming Greek Drama in the Americas (coedited volume with Fiona Macintoshand Justine McConnell) into a discussion of Iizuka's play.

Trial of Captured Mossad Agent to Open Monday in Switzerland
The Mossad agent caught in Switzerland in 1998, attempting to bug the home of a Hizbollah representative, returned to Bern to stand trial Monday, reported Haaretz newspaper.
Yitzhak Ben Tal had been released on bail from Switzerland until the date of his trial, said the paper.
The Mossad agent faces a maximum penalty of three years in prison.
Ben Tal avoided more serious charges, according to Swiss sources, because the Mossad had not been targeting Swiss national security during the incident, Haaretz said.
The Mossad activity against the Hizbollah man resident in the suburbs of Bern took place during a period when the intelligence agency is believed to have had information on planned attacks by the radical Lebanese organization against Jewish and Israeli targets abroad.
At the time, the Mossad was headed by Danny Yatom and former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Four other agents, two men and two women, evaded Swiss authorities during the operation, said the paper.
Two of the agents were also arrested, but managed to escape from a hospital where one of them was receiving medical treatment. During the arrest, the police confiscated wire-tapping equipment and other intelligence-gathering electronics.
Swiss authorities say that the equipment was transferred to their country through Israeli diplomatic pouches, Haaretz added.
Immediately following the arrest, the Swiss were unwilling to enter any negotiations with Israel on the fate of the agent and agreed only to release him on bail, according to Haaretz - Albawaba.com

Brodeur looking to bedevil Bruins
New Jersey Devils (34-34-4)
Boston Bruins (39-22-10)
Last 10 games:
New Jersey 7-3-0; Boston 4-3-3
Fresh off a dominating 3-0 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday the Devils head to Bean town for a showdown with the Boston Bruins.
This is the third meeting of the season between the 2 teams but the first since Nov. 15 in Boston. The Bruins won the first 2 games outscoring the Devils 7-1. The Devils were a fragile team dealing with one of their worst starts in franchise history.
But that was then and this is now.
Tonight, New Jersey enters the game one of the NHL's hottest teams. Playing the second game of a four game road trip the Devils continue to follow the same mantra, "One game at a time."
Despite New Jersey's stellar play ( 24-5-2 since Jan. in the second half they remain 7 points out of a playoff spot. They have zero room for error, every game is a must win and anything less then 2 points in a failure.
Boston leads the Northwest Division by just one point over the Montreal Canadians with 2 games in hand. Montreal faces the Buffalo Sabres tonight, the team the Devils are chasing for the last spot in the East.
Let the scoreboard watching begin.
Down to their final ten games the Devils are hoping that the line of David Clarkson, Mattias Tedenby and Jacob Josefson can stay hot. The line has accumulated 14 points in their last 5 games. Meanwhile Ilya Kovalchuk has just 1 point in that span.
Martin Brodeur with make his 12th consecutive start in goal for the Devils and Tim Thomas will go for the Bruins.
Key Injuries:
New Jersey: Zach Parise (knee), Bryce Salvador (concussion), Matthew Corrente (shoulder), Matt Taormina (foot)
Boston: Shane Hnidy (shoulder)

She's got the spirit and smile down to a routine.
She supports the football team and her flyer at the same time.
But when 20-year-old Alyssa Kresge is not rooting for the Carroll College Saints, she flips the script and trades in her pom poms for a 3-round burst M-16.
As well as the ability to assemble a 249 light machine gun.
Alyssa serves as an E-4 for the Montana National Guard. And oftentimes people are surprised to find out she plays for team USA.
"Kinda like a shock," describes Alyssa Kresge. "They're like, 'woah that's crazy. I can't believe you do both.' you just normally don't see cheerleaders that are in the military."
She fell in love with cheer leading first when she was in high school.
"Me and my friend and we were just like 'hey we should try out for cheer leading.' kind of just like a joke in a way. But then we both made the cheer team and that's when we were both like "yeah we kind of like this.'"
When she turned 18 she joined the national guard. Her older sister Erica played a part in helping her make the decision.
"When I saw that it worked out good for her, it helped her for schooling and she gets to serve the country," Said Kresge of her sister. "Just those different aspects of it. So I think that's the main reason. Just serving the country and I thought it would be like a cool experience to go do and help pay for college."
She's a cheerleader and solider but there's one more element to add to Alyssa: student. But that is actually the most expensive part of her life. A year's tuition at Carroll College could cost up $36,000 a year. So imagine how Alyssa felt when she almost couldn't return to Carroll due to financial limitations
She worked two jobs during the summer to be able to go to Carroll for at least for another year. But anyone that knows her is not surprised that she's able to maintain this juggling act.
"I think that out of anyone she's the one that could do it," says Alyssa's cheer teammate Erika Vosbeck. "She's really good at balancing everything that she does with school and work and cheer and the National Guard. She always puts time into both areas."
As of now she still doesn't know if she will graduate as a Saint.
She's hoping a scholarship can give her the boost she needs to finish her degree at Carroll while awaiting word on where she will be deployed.
"Afghanistan, Kuwait, North Korea." said Kresge. "Those are the main places that I know about."
Her routine beyond the 2013-14 school year is still up in the air. But regardless of the uncertainty there's one thing that does know. That it doesn't matter if she's wearing a skirt or fatigues.
Because she has friends and family on both sides that will continue to cheer for her no matter what uniform she decides to wear.
