The refractive error in each eye cannot exceed +/- 8.00 diopters. Also, both eyes must be free of any disfiguring or incapacitating abnormality and acute or chronic disease. A history of corneal surgical procedures such as radial keratotomy (RK), even if refractive error improves, disqualifies you for Air Force ROTC.

Adequate color vision is a prerequisite to entry into many Air Force specialties.
15. Will I need to take a medical exam?
If you are selected to receive a scholarship, you will be scheduled to complete a medical examination.

The process is lengthy and may involve several months of processing and correspondence.
The Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DODMERBDODMERBDepartment of Defense Medical Examination Records Board ) is the medical certification agency for Air Force ROTC scholarships. Scholarship winners will be scheduled for an examination by DODMERB and DODMERB will determine whether or not the individual is medically qualified for a commission. If you are found to be medically disqualified, but believe there are extenuating circumstances that justify consideration of a waiver of our medical standards, you should follow the DODMERB instructions (with the notification letter) regarding rebuttals and waiver processing. In such cases, DODMERB will discuss your case with AETC/SGPS, the medical waiver authority, to determine if a waiver to the standards is feasible. The final decision is based on the nature of your condition or defect and specific medical parameters and protocols that have been established.
For those selected to receive a scholarship, DODMERB will send you complete instructions. If you cannot meet the scheduled date, request another date. As a candidate, you are responsible for all costs of travel, food and lodging related to the medical examination and personal interview. If you wear hard contact lenses, remove them a minimum of 21 days before the examination; remove soft lenses 72 hours before the examination.
Once you have been scheduled for an examination, if you have a medical question, DODMERB is your only official source of information.

Why Dad Should Be Involved in the Sex Talk Too
October 18, 2012
© Getty Images
A new review suggests that teens are less likely to have sex if their dads talk to them about the birds and the bees. "Fathers do make a difference. It's not just about mothers," said lead author Vincent Guilamo-Ramos, a professor and co-director of New York University's Center for Latino Adolescent and Family Health.
PLUS: Talking to Kids About Sex
Closeness with fathers at the beginning of one study was significantly associated with daughters delaying having sex for the first time after a year of follow-up. Another study on father-son HIV prevention found that more communication about sex was linked to increased abstinence in the six-month study period, reports HealthDay.
Schools and health-care providers attempt to influence kids when it comes to safe sex practices, but teens say their parents' viewpoints actually matter most. According to study authors, when it comes to dads specifically, it seems that their reliable and open presence really contributes to teen kids' overall health and well-being.
Experts believe that striking a balance between protecting and overprotecting is key. Evidence shows that kids are more likely to have sex earlier if they have either very strict or very easy-going parents.
Dads, do you talk to your kids about sex? Leave a comment.

Perfect Storage Size

Comments about Suncast 47-Gallon Multipurpose Storage Deck Garage Box:
This storage was incredible hard to locate, but the Meijer selection and purchasing process could not have been easier.

About Me Master Gardener
We have a small townhouse yard so this box takes less space than most - but is still large enough for seat cushions. Frankly if we could have found a smaller one, we would have preferred it - most are huge or too small for cushions. This one has a nice appearance and so far, appears water tight. Assembly instructions would have helped but we got it together anyway!

OIT Times: Flexible Proposal Process is Well-Received
March 20, 2002
Last year, the National Industrial Competitiveness through Energy, Environment, and Economics (NICE3) program announced a flexible proposal submission process. Based on results from the recently announced grant awards, the new process is filling the needs of industry and state offices, alike. his has been a very well-received change,says NICE3 Program Manager Lisa Barnett.In the past, NICE3 required industrial applicants to submit proposals through state energy, pollution prevention, or business development office. Last year, after discussions with state personnel on ways to improve NICE3, the program leaders decided to allow flexibility in how states participate in the NICE3 process.
Barnett explains that half of the most recent grant awardshich OIT announced in Decemberent through state offices while the other half are going to firms endorsed by state offices. In the true spirit of flexibility, many state and industry partners creatively balanced their roles. In one project, for example, the state endorsed the proposal submission and is staying actively involved in promotion of the technology.

The TM4 software applications support a number of microarray data file formats.
The primary format used by the latest versions of the TM4 software is the mev file format. This is the type of file generated by Spotfinder and MADAM. Mev-formatted files can also be created from other format types as noted below. This format replaces the older, tav file format, described here. Tav-formatted data files can be converted to the new mev format using the ExpressConverter.
Other applications' data file formats are also supported by the TM4 Software Suite. These formats, while they can not usually be loaded natively into MIDAS or MeV, can be converted to mev-format using the ExpressConverter. These supported formats include Genepix, ImaGene, ScanArray, ArrayVersion and Agilent files. Affymetrix data files cannot be converted with the ExpressConverter, but can be loaded directly into TIGR MeV. Directions for how to do so are found here.

The environment is receiving significant attention in recent years in light of issues such as climate change, declining energy resources, and other sustainability related issues. A minor in Environmental and Sustainability Studies is meant to serve a broad student population and will provide students with an extensive understanding of environmental and sustainability issues. The minor will yield graduates who are truly "men and women for others" by preparing students for careers that will identify and study the causes and effects of current and future environmental challenges, educate others about the environment, and help write and analyze related policy.
Students completing this minor will:
- Develop an understanding of the natural environment as an integrated system of complex biological and physical interactions and how human activities affect that system.
- Develop an understanding of the connections and interdependency of ecology, economics, society, governmental regulation, and politics in the modern world and the implications of this for environmental problem solving.
- Develop skills in addressing moral and social dilemmas implicit to solving environmental problems.
Requirements for the Minor
Students must take six courses for the Minor in Environmental and Sustainability Studies. Courses taken to fulfill requirements of the minor may also fulfill the GEP or overlay (Ethics, Globalization /Diversity) requirements.
All students will take (in this sequence):
ENV 101 Environmental Science and
ENV 102 Environmental Theory and Ethics Seminar
These two courses are currently offered every other year.
Students are required to take 4 additional courses from the following three groups (Groups A-C). Courses do not need to be taken in any particular order, but some courses may require prerequisites. No more than 2 courses can be taken from each group. One of the four courses must have an experiential component (lab-based natural science course, or director-approved internship or independent research). In the event that a student cannot fulfill the minor requirements from the selection of courses in Groups A-C, the student will be able to fulfill the minor by taking up to 2 auxiliary courses.
Note for Natural Science majors: Students majoring in Biology, Chemistry, Chemical Biology, or Physics may minor in Environmental and Sustainability Studies. These students should fulfill the Group A requirement with a natural science course not normally required for their major. This excludes courses that normally satisfy the natural science GEP. Students should consult the Auxiliary Course List.
