Division of the Physical Sciences
Master of Science in the Physical Sciences Division
The Master of Science in the Physical Sciences Division (MS-PSD) at the University of Chicago is a program designed for students who wish to broaden or deepen their knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences. It should be especially valuable to those seeking to prepare for further graduate work, including those who wish to prepare for a graduate program in a field outside of their undergraduate major. MS-PSD students have the opportunity to work with faculty members in the Departments of Astronomy & Astrophysics, Biophysical Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geophysical Sciences, Mathematics, Physics, and Statistics. The MS-PSD program allows students, in consultation with the faculty Director, to design programs of study to meet individual student needs. This flexibility combined with the rigor of UChicago courses makes the program unique.
Students normally complete the M.S. in Physical Sciences in nine-months (three quarters). The program is administered by the PSD Dean of Students office and directed by Professor Robert Wald, Charles H. Swift Distinguished Service Professor, Department of Physics, Enrico Fermi Institute and the College.
Courses and Master's Project
MS-PSD students are required to complete nine courses, including a master's thesis project. Students choose from quarterly course offerings in physical sciences departments. At least four of the courses must be graduate-level courses in a single department or associated with a specific interdepartmental track, such as environmental science, biochemistry/physics, computational methods in physical science, and optics/imaging. To accommodate students who seek to broaden their knowledge of the physical sciences as well as those seeking to transition to a new field, students may be allowed to take as many as three advanced undergraduate courses in fields outside of their undergraduate majors. In all cases the Director must approve the chosen curricula.
For experimentalists a typical master's project might consist of performing or assisting with a laboratory research experiment. For theorists a typical master's project might consist of performing some numerical simulation experiments. Students normally choose their projects in the winter quarter, carry them out during the spring quarter, and summarize their projects' results in a required master's paper.
The University of Chicago Experience
Outside of the classroom, MS-PSD students and alumni have available to them the resources of The University of Chicago. The offices of Graduate Student Affairs and Career Advancement in particular have dedicated staff supporting master's student professionalization. The University Library system includes Mansueto with its grand reading room and state of the art retrieval system, as well as Crerar and Eckhart, which are dedicated science libraries. And one should also not forget the great resource that is the city itself. Chicago has much to offer.
Financial Aid and Costs of Study
Tuition for the three quarter full-time program in 2012-2013 is $43,749. Mandatory fees total $930, medical insurance premiums total $2,757, and living/housing expenses are estimated at approximately $20,000. An estimated student budget is published by the Student Loan Administration.
All applicants are considered for merit-based partial tuition scholarships that range from one-third to two-thirds tuition coverage. Students typically finance their education with a combination of scholarships, loans, and/or savings. External scholarships are less common for master's students; nevertheless, we recommend you review the fellowship databases maintained by Graduate Student Affairs.
All application materials must be received by February 28 to ensure full consideration for admission to the following autumn class. Applications received after February 28 will be considered if open spots are available. Interviews are not required, but prospective students are encourage to visit campus.
The application is online and all supporting materials are submitted electronically. These include:
- A personal statement of academic and career objectives.
- One transcript from each educational institution beyond high school. Students seeking admission to the program normally must have a baccalaureate degree in a traditional discipline of the physical sciences.
- Three letters of recommendation.
- Official Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores. The general exam is required. A GRE Subject Test in an area of physical sciences is strongly recommended.
- TOEFL scores (see below).
- $55 Application fee (waived for University of Chicago alumni: see fee waivers section in the application for other instances).
The University of Chicago GRE & TOEFL institution code is 1832.
Applicants whose first or native language is not English must demonstrate an adequate command of both spoken and written English, and they are required to submit English proficiency test scores as part of their application. We recognize the internet-based test (iBT) of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Applicants whose total score on the four-part TOEFL falls below 90 (or IELTS falls below 7) will not normally be admitted unless other demonstrable evidence of proficiency in English is available.
The English language requirement may be waived if the applicant is a native of or studied full-time status for at least one academic year within the last five years in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand or English medium universities in Canada or South Africa. Students who studied in English in other countries, for example, India, Pakistran, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore, etc., are not exempt from the English language requirement.
Prospective students should contact the Associate Dean of Students in the Physical Sciences Division with questions about the program and/or the application process:Emily W. email@example.com

Happy Birthday, Awesomize
Camera Awesome just turned 1, and we only have one thing to say about it:
There isn't enough cake in the universe to show how much we appreciate the support you've given our free iPhone camera app over the last year. Mobile photographers like you have clicked, tapped, snapped, pre-corded, filtered, cowbelled, and koala sneezed us all the way to top of the charts in the App Store, and taken us everywhere in the world.
We've had such a great time seeing the gorgeous, funny (and sometimes awkward) #awesomized photos that pop up on Facebook, Instagram and more.
See a slice of the Awesomverse on SmugMug.
We Heart You. Here's Why.
Yeah, we blush knowing that so many of you swear by Camera Awesome and use it to capture so much of your lives. The proof is in the pudding: We've counted more than 13 million users who shot 250 million photos using the app. That's almost twice the entire population of Japan.
And your top three favorite presets are: Blue Pill (17%), Goddess (14%) and Road Trip (12%). They're our favorites, too, in addition to More Cowbell and More Wang (both 11% of all presets used).
And we've had some seriously impressive milestones that surprised even the biggest skeptics among us all:
- Last Week: Enabled volume shutter button for better iPhonergonomics
- December 2012: Tumblr integration/iPhone 5 optimization. (9 million users and 200 million photos taken)
- October 2012: iPad app launch + iOS 6 support (lucky 7 million users!)
- March 27, 2012: Released $9.99 Bundle + Instagram integration (doubled to 4 million users already)
- March 6, 2012: 2 million users in first week (1 million in first four days)
- February 28, 2012: Camera Awesome launched on iPhone at 3:33 PM
No matter who you are, where you are or what you shoot, we hope that you'll keep taking us along for the ride, wherever you're going for the next year… and beyond.
Oh, and One More Thing…
… Stay tuned for the Android version, coming soon. ;)
Happy Awesomizing!
The Camera Awesome journey (or: How you helped us turn a little idea into a total game-changer)
March 5, 2013 at 8:23 am
I am sure this is a good app……but I have a windows phone 8….this undoubtedly has a better camera…..when will you be making an app for the Windows Phone 8 OS…
March 5, 2013 at 10:09 am
Smugmug = …coming soon
March 5, 2013 at 11:19 am
Hurry up with the Android version!
March 5, 2013 at 11:27 am
I'm also another smugmugger who desires a Windows Phone version.
March 5, 2013 at 2:24 pm
I was coming here to make a statement on the lack of an Android version. then you said coming soon, now I am here to say "you have been saying that for 8 months", how soon is soon?
As for Brent, what makes you think your windows 8 phone has a better camera? What are its specs?
March 5, 2013 at 2:38 pm
Check out Lumia 920
March 5, 2013 at 3:17 pm
OK, it is 8.7 MP and has a bit of nifty software.
The white sheet on the camera shows it to be the same one in my 2 generations old Evo 4g.
My current evo 3d has dual 5mp cameras and a front 1.3 mp camera.
Remember, megapixels are not all it is about.
March 5, 2013 at 4:31 pm
I know, and I am not doubting yours….just saying its awesome and would love to try this software with it…..thanks
March 5, 2013 at 4:52 pm
Oh my bad, I thought you were saying it was somehow vastly superior.
I would love to see this software for all capable phones.
April 5, 2013 at 5:09 pm
Can't wait for the Android version. As a software developer, I completely understand that ETAs are tough to give, and Android presents a special challenge over iOS in that it can run on so many different types of devices. But thanks for working on it … can't wait!
May 1, 2013 at 12:04 pm
Will you be working on a Windows Phone 8 app? That market is growing, of course nothing like Android and Apple but it would be nice to dump all other photo apps for this!!

I've enjoyed Camera Awsome ever since I downloaded it about five months ago, and have taken to using it instead of the iphone's built-in app for all my snapshots and video.
However, I've run into a slight problem.
Yesterday, I used Camera Awesome to make a video of my cousin telling of his experiences in WWII. The video is 75 minutes long.
Today I clicked on the video in Camera Awesome and then clicked on the "Copy to Camera Roll" icon. The "in progress" windowlette appeared for about one second and then disappeared. Camera Awesome now says the video has been copied to the camera roll, but the video has not been copied to the camera roll. The above happens each time I repeat the attempt to copy the video to the camera roll.
After the above experience, I tried copying several other videos to the camera roll, and the process was successful each time.
When I access the iphone through "My Computer," all I see are the contents of the camera roll. I don't see any way of accessing the other contents of the iphone.
Can you help me copy my 75-minute video from Camera Awesome to either the camera roll or to my home computer?
Roy Lipscomb
July 12, 2013 at 8:42 am
Additional info about my problem in the previous message:
* Free space on my iphone is 4.7 GB.
* The video is only 1.6 GB. (Is that a reasonable size for a 75-minute video?)
* Camera Awesome was running unattended during the interview; I had propped it up on the kitchen table and leaned it against a chair back. After along time, I looked to see how the recording was going, and saw that the iphone had a "Low Battery" alert on the screen. I presume the recording had stopped sometime earlier.
July 14, 2013 at 5:14 am
OK, I found a solution.
Earlier, I had searched for the video in the iTunes Media folder. When I didn't find the video, I assumed it hadn't been included in the backup process.
But some additional musing slowly led me to suspect that the video might be present elsewhere on my computer. Lo and behold, it was!
Here's how I located it.
Since I knew the video was over 1 GB in size, I used the Windows "Search" function to locate all files on my hard drive that were greater than 1 GB. There were about twenty. The one I was looking for stood out like a sore thumb: It was the only one that had a name consisting of a super-long string of random characters. (The file type, of course, was .mov.)
What a relief!
Addendum: I don't know why Camera Awesome listed the video size as 1.6 GB. The video size is actually 5.6 GB. Since the free space on my iphone was less than 5.6 GB, that explains why Camera Awesome couldn't create a copy of the video for the camera roll.

Ted Siefer's City Hall: School board on the defensive over Cupcake-gate
As the Union Leader first reported on Wednesday, the Coordination Committee has signed off on a school policy that would limit birthday and holiday parties to one per month. There could be more parties, but only so long as "nutrition standards for healthy snacks are followed." Now blow out the candles on your tofu!
All of this perhaps raises the question: Doesn't the school board have more important things (last pun) on its plate? After all, in just a month or so the district will be without a superintendent - and an assistant superintendent. (Michael Tursi announced last week he'll be taking a superintendent job elsewhere.)
But readers had pointed things to say about the board's priorities in the comment section of the cupcake article at UnionLeader.com, where, to be sure, comments tend to skew in a critical direction.
He noted that the revised sweets policy was proposed by the district's nutritionist to comply with federal regulations, and he rattled off a list of school board accomplishments, including the technology bond and shortening the school year. He also defended the superintendent search, which was extended after the board rejected the three finalists interviewed in March.
Remember how the school board, in response to the revelation that it was on track to overspend its legal budget by more than $200,000, voted to try to hire an in-house attorney for the district rather than rely on outside firms?
"We started to find that educational law is a very broad field," Ward 8 board member Erika Connors told her colleagues on Monday. "When looking at one person with expertise in all these areas, that person does not have a clerk, which will be an additional cost. We think it will be a very difficult process."
The board approved the motion, but not before Mayor Ted Gatsas tried to pin down a price range.
Gatsas was skeptical.
"I can see someone at the back looking at me like that's not going to work," said Gatsas, referring to one of the attorneys in the gallery who was waiting to discuss the latest legal matter facing the district in non-public session.
Here's a potential bit of good news. District officials, at the suggestion of Gatsas, are looking into the possibility of using up to $1.4 million in surplus federal grant money to hire more teachers next year.
The response of Superintendent Thomas Brennan and DeFrancis was that it was worth a shot.
Ward 9 school board member Art Beaudry took a little time at last week's meeting to give a shout out to the mayor and the aldermen for voting, at long last, to finalize the $2.8 million technology bond.
To which Gatsas quipped, "Does that include email?"
Beaudry, as is well known by his colleagues and probably quite a few of his constituents, doesn't "do email."
"I don't like sitting in front of a computer. I return phone calls within 24 hours. Calling is better than returning a bunch of emails," he said.
But he insisted he was proud of the work of his committee. "Whatever job I have to do, I do what has to be done, and I pride myself on my work ethic."

Ron Howard Talks About the Voices in His Head
This is probably not exactly what the Tribeca Film Festival intended. But they have just set the bar extremely high for next year's short-film entrants.
Over the course of four and a half minutes, a delightfully playful Ron Howard shares with visiting director Matthew Akers a few filmmaking secrets, after welcoming Akers and crew to his Millenium Hilton New York hotel room. The "Got milk?" portion is pretty good; but this confession is even better:
"You have to listen to yourself. I have four Ron Howard's, speaking to me at all times. And I know I have hit upon something good when they're all in chorus… Harmonics!"

hello elayne , my girlfriend has had three labia piercings , shortly after the first one she developed cervical cancer . the second one it seemed fine . but shortly after the third one the cancer returned and she had to have the rest of the cervix taken out . there is not much information on the internet concerning cancer and piercings . i did however found one site that claims that body piercing can cause cancer. their explanation was skin cells pushed into the skin and then get trapped and develop into cancer .everyone i have talked to says there has not been any studies done.do you believe it is possible to get cancer from a body piercing? thanks so much...jack...
There is no medical evidence that piercings increase the risk of cancer. Kelly Shanahan, MD, chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Barton Memorial Hospital in Lake Tahoe, states, "I am aware of no evidence that nipple piercing increases the risk of breast cancer."
So far, there are two short but sweet reviews on the Amazon.com page where my book is sold:
5.0 out of 5 stars Priceless Resource and Enjoyable Read, April 6, 2009
ByS. M. Wheeler
This book is not only informative but enjoyable to read as well. Elayne Angel has created a masterpiece work that brings the mystique of piercing to the masses. No matter if you are a serious body modification devotee or a single mother deciding on a getting a first piercing you will enjoy this book. It is an approachable, candid, and friendly source for all a piercee should know before stepping foot into a studio.
I'm SO excited! Guess what I've got? Finally: a copy of The Piercing Bible. For the first time, I've been able to see, hold, and read a finished copy of the book--just like the one you'll get when you place an order. It looks GREAT! The format looks a little bigger than I imagined it, and the color on the cover is tinged with a tad of purple (though I'll admit that I lobbied for a more punchy purple color). I opened the box and lifted the book--hefted it really, to feel its pleasant and considerable weight. Smiling, I took a look at the front and back covers, then thumbed through the whole thing and heard the sound of the paper, as I took a big whiff of the fresh paper and ink. I did everything but lick the thing; I wanted (needed, even) to experience my book with every possible sense I have. What a delight! I also got another mini pre-review from one of the reviewers:
Your book is brilliant! It's the perfect book for ANYONE who wishes to get a piercing and is extremely reassuring, detailed, and authorative.... I can see how much work went into it and it's a wonderful book.
Elayne, I love you! I've been in your periphery for many years and I have *never* seen or heard the faintest unpleasant whisper about you. That alone is admirable, but then you have to go and be a skilled, caring and intuitive facilitator for all us perverts. You've earned your wings ten times over!

This bilingual blog - 'आन्याची फाटकी पासोडी' in Marathi- is largely a celebration of visual and/or comic ...तुकाराम: "ढेकणासी बाज गड,उतरचढ केवढी" (Tukaram: For a bedbug a bed is like a castle. so much climbing up and down!)... George Santayana: " Everything in nature is lyrical in its ideal essence, tragic in its fate, and comic in its existence"...William Hazlitt: "Pictures are scattered like stray gifts through the world; and while they remain, earth has yet a little gilding."
G C Lichtenberg: "It is as if our languages were confounded: when we want a thought, they bring us a word; when we ask for a word, they give us a dash; and when we expect a dash, there comes a piece of bawdy."
W H Auden: "But in my arms till break of day / Let the living creature lie. / Mortal, guilty, but to me/ The entirely beautiful."
Will Self: "To attempt to write seriously is always, I feel, to fail – the disjunction between my beautifully sonorous, accurate and painfully affecting mental content, and the leaden, halting sentences on the page always seems a dreadful falling short. It is this failure – a ceaseless threnody keening through the writing mind – that dominates my working life, just as an overweening sense of not having loved with enough depth or recklessness or tenderness dominates my personal one."
John Gray: "Unlike Schopenhauer, who lamented the human lot, Leopardi believed that the best response to life is laughter. What fascinated Schopenhauer, along with many later writers, was Leopardi's insistence that illusion is necessary to human happiness."
Art Spiegelman: "You know words in a way are hitting you on the left side of your brain, music and visual arts hit on the right side of the brain, so the idea is to pummel you, to send you from left brain to right brain and back until you're as unbalanced as I am."

Good Bye, Anant Pai, thank you and btw- Why did you tone down?
As a tribute to him, I am recycling my old post.
I was a voracious reader in my childhood. For recreation, I read only Marathi until I was almost 12 or 13. Magazine "Chandoba" ("Chandamama" in Hindi) was one of my favourite. We did not buy it every month because my father did not like it much. Amar Chitra Katha (ACK) was borne in 1967 but I could lay my hands on it much later.
I thought I liked only stories from "Chandoba" but realized later that I also liked accompanying pictures. Pictures of curvaceous women. I also read a lot of Indian mythology that of course has quite a bit of sex.
Recently ACK completed 40 years of its very successful existence-400 titles, 86 million copies sold.
Mr. Pai, ACK's creator, admitted to The Times of India (June 29 2007) that imagery of early ACK issues was quite sexy. He said:"…….. our major influences were the sculptures of Ajanta, Ellora…..We may have been a bit over influenced by it….But forget the first 25 titles or so, we have toned it down."
Pratap Mulick pioneering illustrator of ACK died recently. I hope he never regretted his following picture of Matsyakanya or Vasavadatta or Satyavati or Shakuntala or who ever she is...Even today she makes my knees go wobbly!
Why regret Mr. Pai? I wish to thank you and Mr. Pratap Mulick, particularly for first 25 titles, and to anonymous illustrators of "Chandoba" for giving me pleasure.
You saved me from porn.
Artist: Pratap Mulick
Artist: Robert Weber, The New Yorker, 9 Feb 1998

text: Pastor Geneve: Reasons to Invest in Colored Diamonds A distinguished colored diamonds dealer based in Switzerland, Pastor Genève has operated since 1991. Many investors choose to purchase colored diamonds, explains Pastor Genève, as their rarity makes them quite valuable. However, several other reasons exist for investing in these gems. First, investors generally do not have to disclose possession of colored diamonds to government authorities and they can easily be transported. Investors can place a multi-million-dollar portfolio in a single envelope. In fact, investors can possess colored diamonds valued at $1 million in only a handful of stones, each less than a carat. Also, the value of colored diamonds does not decrease significantly, even in the most trying recession. In fact, sales prices have seen a consistent rise over the past few decades, depending on the color. (Some colors are rarer than others and thus have seen greater increases in value.) As supplies decline, demand will skyrocket, resulting in spiking values. Finally, colored diamonds make an excellent contribution to an estate since individuals can easily pass them on to future generations.

Pico Boulevard between Beverly Drive on the west and a little beyond Robertson on the east is a Miracle Mile of multiethnic, multicultural Jewish foods. The dense concentration of mostly kosher restaurants, cafes, groceries, bakeries, fish markets, fast-food spots and delis make it a rich source of specialty items for cooks, a meeting place for kosher diners and a terrific snack-and-shop destination for food lovers in general. Plus, it's a hub of late-night dining.
No single-day itinerary allows for a thorough exploration, but you could start at the deservedly popular decades-old Factor's Deli, with its convenient valet parking, lovely brick-and-flowers patio, good fresh deli standards, best-in-town children's menu and open-till-midnight hours. Or begin the day lunching with a few friends at the no-frills Haifa cafe, where the quality and prices are cut above the street's many snack shops and you'll need help to make a dent in the extensive menu of Middle Eastern salads, appetizers, and entree plates. Try the Yemenite beef soup or the turkey shawarma. Salads of cumin-scented carrots, smoky chopped eggplant and piquant beets are notable for freshness and rich but restrained seasoning.
Thus fortified, cooks can look for ingredients for Israeli, Moroccan, Armenian, Persian, Greek, Lebanese and other culinary styles, while non-cooks can load up on an amazingly rich array of takeout options. You'll find bagels, lox and lots of hummus, sure, but also kalamata and rosemary pretzel challah, Cajun chicken sausage sandwiches, beautiful bottles of the anise-flavored liquor arak, vegan chocolate cheesecake, and well-priced spices.
On the sophisticated side, there are iconic and delicious harissa-spiced Tunisian tuna sandwiches (tuna, potato, hard-boiled egg, salsa-like mechouia and olives on a toasty-crusted stirato roll) at Got Kosher? Provisions, an upscale takeout spot. GK? is lively at lunchtime, with workers picking up sandwiches of chicken schnitzel on pretzel roll or pulled brisket with coleslaw, and it does a bang-up business on Friday mornings when customers come in for phoned-ahead Sabbath meals of sesame-seared salmon, chicken with preserved lemons, raisins and olives, or mint couscous with macademia nuts. Meanwhile, the best of the more ambitious sit-down restaurants is the excellent Shiloh's steakhouse. Also on the upscale side is the new Eilat Pastry Cafe, with coffee service and delicious soft chocolate rugulah (rich rolled-layer cookies).
For mid-range eat-in or takeout, try a breakfast of shakshuka (think North African huevos rancheros) at Bibi's Warmstone Bakery, a wonderful bakery-cafe where wooden-paddle wielding bakers pull out a continuous stream of fresh-baked pita, sambusacks (like calzones), pizzas, toastees (pitas or Jerusalem bagels with cheese), the Iraqi-style sabich pita sandwich with eggplant, hummus and browned boiled eggs, and flakey cheese or potato turnovers called burrekas (aka boureka, briq, etc.).
There are dozens of kosher pizza places and quick Mediterranean spots. At Nagilla, there's a food-court feel to the separation of meat and dairy: Pizza, falafel and salads are found in one cafeteria-style space while kebobs, burgers and other meat dishes are in an adjoining grill. The falafel are great—crunchy, flavorful and light—and the array of salads includes a good baba ganoush. Check out the area's most popular teenage after-school hangout, Jeff's Kosher Gourmet Sausage, a kind of kosher Jodi Maroni's. It offers deli and grilled sandwiches and sides, specializing in sausage sandwiches like the Russian (garlic and beef sausage on an onion roll), with site-made sausages or hot dogs, also available by the pound.
Some novel crossovers such as the Glatt Kosher Subway outlet and Sushiko, a sleek, modern kosher sushi place, offer locals handy options but aren't outstanding in themselves, although the Subway is open until 2 a.m. For party platters or airplane lunches there a score of smaller delis, including the well-known Label's Table, which also has a branch in Woodland Hills. At Gordon's Fish Emporium, you can order a whole poached salmon or just point to something in the market section and have it cooked up to eat at one of the rickety (again, this is no frills) sidewalk tables.
There are several groceries, large and small. The small Pico Glatt Kosher Mart has such useful and interesting packaged goods as an Israeli cocoa spread (think Nutella), Turkish coffee and soy-based frozen treats. Fresh favas were 59 cents a pound, and big bunches of herbs were two or three for $1 (but they're not organic or very local). At Livonia Glatt Market, a small, well-stocked market at Pico and Livonia, a refrigerator case displays dozens of varieties of Sabra hummus along with a meat/poultry section, many kinds of flatbreads and an intriguing array dried legumes in combinations that cook up beautifully. Elat is a midsize market with a great selection of pan-Mediterranean ingredients. Look for paprika and other spices, big blocks of feta, Armenian flatbreads and shelves full of various brands of rosewater. Nearby Glatt is larger and has a more mainstream selection.
Among the many bakeries, Classic Le Palais is notable for its French-Moroccan vibe: Pick among chocolate poppyseed croissants, baklava and rugulah. And the venerable Beverlywood Bakery delivers top-quality across the board, from breads (an amazing pumpernickel with raisins somehow embedded in a regular pattern) to cookies and cakes.
Remember that most retailers will be closed Friday evenings and Saturdays. Call or see websites for kosher certificates. Kosher adherence is a complex system that includes rules about food cleaning, preparation, distribution, cooking and combinations. For diners with non-kosher diet restrictions, certain practices result in options for pork-free, nondairy (but not necessarily vegetarian) and vegetarian or vegan dishes.
Kosher markets may ask that you not bring in purchases from other shops. Service is often notably warm and friendly; stores cater not only to members of nearby Orthodox communities, but also to secular Jewish immigrants, expats, commuters stopping by for a fresh pastry and cooks of all levels of experience.

Visiting Artists Series presents The Whipstitch Sallies
Salter Concert Hall, Fine Arts Center
8 p.m.
The Indianapolis paper NUVO calls The Whipstitch Sallies "bluegrass rockers with panache." Four women command the stage with their electrifying presence, traditional instruments, and tight harmonies. Allie Burbrink drives the rhythm on open-back banjo and guitar while Kat Erickson holds down the groove on upright bass. Sam Roberts' blistering mandolin licks and Katie Burk's spirited fiddle leads kick up an exuberant racket that's rooted in mountain music but informed by styles from country and jazz to indie rock. Their 2013 EP Hand 'Em Over was voted Best New Album in the Brown County Music Awards. They have quickly developed a fan base throughout central Indiana and broaden their audience with every show they play.

The 10 Simple Rules was collaboratively devised by AJ Clark, Corey Egler, Patrick Kvachkoff, Tucker Mark, Chris Szostek, Donovan Whitney, Rory Willats, and Prof. Jessie Mills.

Salter Concert Hall, Fine Arts Center
8 p.m.
Kevin Kling, best known for his popular commentaries on National Public Radio's All Things Considered and his storytelling stage shows like Tales from the Charred Underbelly of the Yule Log, delivers hilarious, often tender stories. Kling's autobiographical tales are as enchanting as they are true to life: hopping freight trains, getting hit by lightning, performing his banned play in Czechoslovakia, growing up in Minnesota, and eating things before knowing what they are. Kling tells stories and Perrin punctuates them with songs and her accordion accompaniment.
Wednesday, October 22
Visiting Artists Series presents Defamation by Todd Logan
Salter Concert Hall, Fine Arts Center
8 p.m.
A professional African-American woman is invited to the home of a successful Jewish man for a potential business project. After the meeting he realizes that his family heirloom watch is gone. Hereby hangs the story of DEFAMATION, wherein this very dilemma leads to a riveting courtroom encounter that illuminates our common perceptions about race, religion and class. In this case, the plaintiff is Ms. Wade, a professional black woman from the South Side. The defendant is Mr. Golden, a successful North Shore businessman who is Jewish. The play opens with Judge Adrian Barnes laying out the case as well as the stakes involved. Following testimony from each side plus a key witness, the judge tells the audience he's not going to adjudicate the case; the audience will be the jury. He polls them once. Then the judge leads the audience in a 15-20 minute deliberation. He polls the audience a second time. The result decides the evening's trial. The case is not a simple "he said, she said." There are twists and turns that keep the audience on their toes. A case without a smoking gun, DEFAMATION challenges our preconceived notions about race, class, religion and even the law. As audience members and then jurors, we learn as much or more about ourselves as we do the plaintiff and the defendant.
Saturday, October 25
Music Department presents The Telephone
Salter Concert Hall, Fine Arts Center
7:30 p.m.
The Telephone is a comic opera in one act by Italian-American composer Gian Carlo Menotti and will be performed by Lisa Lowry, soprano, Jerome Síbulo, baritone, and Paul Pisano, piano. This light-hearted opera is one of Menotti's most accessible. In this story, Ben would like to propose to Lucy before he leaves on a trip. Before he can pop the question, the phone rings and Lucy talks on and on, leaving him frustrated. Finally, Ben calls Lucy from a nearby telephone booth and proposes. The phone conversations range from chatty to argumentative to consolatory with corresponding playful, dramatic, and lyrical musical settings. The opera was composed in 1946 to be paired with Menotti's opera The Medium; both were presented in 1947 on Broadway as part of the Ballet Society's opera season. Despite positive reviews, audiences were small at first. After famed conductor Arturo Toscanini attended and his attendance was leaked to the press, the seats were always full. The Telephone has been performed on radio and television, and its popularity has led to translations into many languages.
Lisa Lowry is Adjunct Instructor of Voice at Wabash. Lowry and Síbulo have done graduate work at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and have performed in operas and concerts around the United States and Canada. Pisano studied at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) and is a solo recitalist, concerto soloist, chamber music performer, vocal coach, and accompanist. He has performed in Italy, Canada, and in many U.S. venues.
Monday, October 27 – Saturday, December 13

Her two novels, Sight Hound and Contents May Have Shifted, also met with critical and popular acclaim. In addition to her fiction, she has published a collection of essays, A Little More About Me. Ms. Houston taps into the mythos of the American West and her writing has been fed by her fearless encounter with the wilder places of that West.
Wednesday, November 5 – Saturday, November 8
Theater Department presents Guys and Dolls by Jo Swerling, Abe Burrows, and music and lyrics by Frank Loesser
Directed by Michael Abbott
Ball Theater, Fine Arts Center
8 p.m. each evening
(Audition dates are September 2 and 3 in Ball Theater, Fine Arts Center at 7 p.m. each evening.)
Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, Guys and Dolls ran for 1,200 performances when it opened on Broadway in 1950. It received nearly unanimous positive reviews from critics and won a bevy of awards, including Tony's, Drama Desks, and Olivier's. Loesser's brassy, immortal score makes Guys and Dolls a crowd pleaser.
Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, Guys and Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy. Gambler Nathan Detroit tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his girlfriend, nightclub performer Adelaide, laments that they've been engaged for 14 years. Nathan turns to fellow gamble Sky Masterson for the dough, but Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown. Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.

Art Exhibit: ¡Revolución!: Estampas De La Revolución Mexicana Prints and Justseeds Artists' Cooperative Selected Prints
Eric Dean Gallery, Fine Arts Center
Opening Reception: Friday, January 23, 2015, 4:30–6 p.m.
Gallery Hours: Monday–Friday 9 a.m.–5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.–2 p.m.; Saturday, March 22, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
This powerful exhibit features a 1947 portfolio of linocut prints, Estampas De La Revolución Mexicana, which narrates the events of M
exico's 1910 Revolution. Alongside these historical works, contemporary relief and screen-prints highlighting labor, immigrant, and human rights bring the struggle for social justice into the present.
The 1947 portfolio came from the People's Graphic Workshop (El Taller de Gráfica Popular or TGP), a collective founded in 1937. Sixteen Mexican artists contributed a total of 85 prints that were acquired by Michael and Kathy Atwell and gifted to the Modern Languages Department at Wabash College in 2013.
Josh MacPhee founded Justseeds Artists' Cooperative in 1998 as a geographically widespread collective of artist-activists who make art for political and social change. The group now consists of twenty-four artists throughout North America, five of whom are represented in this show. Like the TGP and other artist collectives, they produce work individually in addition to collaborating on group projects. Co-curators Laura Conners and Andrea Ferber purchased select prints from Justseeds for this exhibit. The prints are now part of the Wabash College Permanent Collection of Contemporary Art.

When a lonely high-school student arrives on the scene, they decide to teach him everything they know. "Gentle and extraordinarily beautiful…inordinately delicate…Ms. Baker may just have the subtlest way with exposition of anyone writing for the theater today…there is something distinctly Chekhovian in the way her writing accrues weight and meaning simply through compassionate, truthful observation." –NY Times

Visiting Artists Series presents Penélope by Jorge Dávila Vázquez / Teatro Vanguardia USA

Ball Theater, Fine Arts Center

Adapted by acclaimed Ecuadorian author Jorge Dávila Vázquez from one of his short stories, Penélope is a one-woman monologue in two acts that explores the confluence of epic story telling with the mundane life of single motherhood. Set in a village in the High Andes, the title character reveals her life story as she patiently awaits the return of her errant husband. Teatro Vanguardia USA, a Spanish-language theater company in New York City, debuted Penélope at the Producers Club Theater in the fall of 2013. Directed by Iván Argudo, Yolanny Rodríguez will present her award-winning performance twice—in Spanish, followed by the debut of Wabash Professor Dan Rogers' newly translated English-language version.

Game Description
Take control of planes that are part flying machine and part time machine in this World War II flight sim. Birds of Steel has mined mountains of available research and historical accounts to re-create the settings for some of history's greatest battles. Choose from over 100 WWII-era planes and fly through 20 of the war's pivotal conflicts, including Guadalcanal, Midway, and Pearl Harbor. Each machine has been thoroughly re-created with an emphasis on total accuracy in look, performance, and weaponry. Landscapes have been just as faithfully built, using satellite imaging and historical maps, photos, and other data to re-create the world as it looked on each of those fateful days.

This isn't an arcade game. This is a sim. It has a difficulty setting from "simplified" or "tough" to "simulator" or "down right hard." However, the game, I think has shown what a true flight sim can be on the 360 or any other console. This game may set a precedent for future sim games. The mi...more

Posted: 16 August 2014 at 3:34am
A story in Bukhari is mentioned about a man who came to the prophet (saw) asking him to pray to Allah for rain.
Muhammad started to point to the sky with his fingers. Wherever he pointed his finger, clouds started to gather. Soon enough, it was raining and it kept raining for a week.
After that, the same man came back to Muhammad (saw) expressing distress, saying, "our houses are falling." Muhammad smiled and prayed saying, "O Allah, beyond us and not on us". Thereafter the clouds started to drift away from Madina and it was raining on the outside, but not on the inside.

It's not for anyone else to decide what other young men and women should get up to in the sanctity of their own bedrooms. That said, it's heartening to know that not everyone using the term "bedroom band" is a lazy person making bad excuses for a tossed off record.
For four, long years, Django Django have been busy doing great things in the East London bedroom slept in by their drummer, producer and de facto leader David Maclean. The result of those great things is a great self-titled debut record.
"Time gives you options, and we had plenty of that," says Vincent Neff, the singer and guitarist who – along with bassist Jimmy Dixon and synth operator Tommy Grace – completes Django Django.
"There was no pressure on us from anyone to go away with a producer and come back two weeks later with an album," explains Maclean. "Maybe next time there will be some svengali figure banging his fists on a desk demanding hits, but we've had the luxury to figure out what we wanted to do and how we wanted to do it."
The quartet, who met at art school in Edinburgh, first came to peoples' attentions after a gradual migration to London a couple of years back. 2009's double A-side single "Storm"/"Love's Dart" laid the blueprint for a confident, adventurous and psychedelically-bruised strain of art-rock that melds intangible electronic flourishes to the visceral rub of live instrumentation.
The time since has been spent holed away, expanding upon that blueprint, seeing where they can push it. The impression one gets of Django Django is of a band laying down the first, meticulously measured borders on some vast map of a world that only they are privy to.
Correspondent to that, each track is like its own nation of harmonies, rhythms and textures. "We didn't put much conscious thought into making it sound like an album – we thought we'd let any similarities between the songs come out by themselves," explains Tommy.
What that means in practice is the swooning, bucolic Beach Boy-isms of opening track "Hail Bop" and the sterner, questing Bo Diddley beat guitars of "Life's A Beach". The industrious, go-getting tattoo verses of "Firewater" and the sleepy cowboy sighs of "Silver Rays".
"Default" and "Waveforms" are future singles. The former sounds like an uprising in a Mexican gun factory, the latter The Glitter Band's "Rock And Roll Part 2" disappearing from sight like a particularly successful Kongming Lantern.
"Music's so mad and widespread and varied, that eclecticism's the only way to be for us," reasons Maclean. "That said, I think you can draw a line through all the music we're into. It's about creativity and experimentation and the quest to find a new sound."
Amid all the diverse moods and ideas of Django Django (all there, perhaps, as the imagination wanders to stave off bedroom boredom?) it's a lyric from "Silver Rays" that most capably sums up its parent album.
"We venture out into the great uncharted," sings Neff, "go far away from any beaten track... Enjoy it now before it's far departed, you know that once it's gone that there'll be no way back."
The lyrics can be read as a desire to explore first, and a tribute to what Dixon calls their decision to "stick to their guns" when outside forces tried to convince them to forget everything they'd seen.
"A lot of people expected us to ditch our recordings and start all over again, but that was never something we wanted to do. It's great to have a body of work – something you can point to, and say this is the story so far."
If that's true, then Django Django's story looks set to be a long and compelling one. By banging together their thirst for adventure and their exacting high standards, they've produced an album that seems to have everything, but on which everything never seems too much.
Time to get out of the bedroom now, and let playtime begin.

J.E. Robinson Underground Railroad Tours
In the early 1800s, Alton became a safe haven for slaves escaping from the bonds of slavery. Because of the area's neighboring slave state of Missouri, runaways found refuge in the free land surrounding Alton. The tunnels of the Underground Railroad run deep beneath the streets along the "Alton Route." The area was a major stop along the Underground Railroad, hiding slaves in caves, barns and basements throughout Alton, Otterville and Jerseyville. Hear the slave's tales, feel their fear and learn about Alton's remarkable past on an Underground Railroad Tour. Tours available by appointment only.

Boomer retirees discovering Fallbrook and Bonsall
Thursday, May 9th, 2013
Issue 19, Volume 17.
Orange County transplant Stacey Bonomi said, "We wanted to move to a quieter place after we retired and we looked at a number of places across the western United States. We looked at some beautiful places like Durango (Colorado) and Prescott (Arizona), places that had a slower kind of lifestyle, a country lifestyle, but when we looked at the rural lifestyle and weather here, and the access to major urban centers, we just couldnt pass on settling in Fallbrook."
The Boomers are coming to Bonsall and Fallbrook and the local housing market is benefiting from the trend, at least thats how some area real estate agents see it, according to local RE/MAX agent Marla Cruickshank. "We are seeing a very noticeable bump in interest from the newest Baby Boomer retirees," said Cruickshank.
"The biggest factor is that, in Southern California, we are unique," added Cruickshank. "The Bonsall/Fallbrook region remains one of the few near-coastal areas that has escaped Southern Californias high-density development and this has strong appeal for those seeking a Advertisement
"We were able to own at least three times the property that we could have bought for a similar investment, if we had stayed in Orange County," said Bonomi. "It was an easy decision."
Its a common refrain and this quickening interest in the local area is considered good news for home sellers who have been particularly hard hit by the housing slowdown of the past five years, Cruickshank said. Local agents have said the increased interest is a sort of mini-bonanza – and its one of the driving factors contributing to an increasing number of retiring Baby Boomers coming from Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego and even nationwide who see Fallbrook offering them, quiet, more space, and great weather.
"We believe there is an ever-increasing premium on what the region offers," said Cruickshank, "and urban growth and increasing density elsewhere make Fallbrook/Bonsall stand out."
