Looking for a MN for Zara...
I'm slowly whittling down my massive list of crushes for what'll eventually (hopefully!) only be a top 10, and I've started looking at combos (because, I'm apparently incapable of deciding before I get invested in a handful of combos!).
So far, I have:
Zara Audrey
Zara Felicity
Zara Madeleine
Zara Natalie (my sister's name. I'm super picky about where I like it, so if I find a combo I like with it, I run with it!)
Zara Penelope
Audrey, Felicity, and Penelope are just deep loves that didn't make it as a FN--I can really see me using either as a MN. And Madeleine I've loved for eons. Any other ideas? None of these really strike me as "it", but I do definitely love all of them. I like the idea of something classy, feminine, and on the longer side. I'm tossing around Zara Charlotte and Zara Catherine, but I'm not sure if I love them to the extent that I love these.Ashley

Thanks, ladies! I quite love Zara Elisabeth, and I adore Josephine and Gwendolyn, but I'm not sure about them with Zara. I do think I prefer Zara Gwendolyn of the two. I love the connection The Importance of Being Earnest, and I've loved Gwendolyn for at least a decade. I really, really love Zara Blythe and Zara Noelle, too, but I'm not sure what I'd do for a second middle--I usually use a family middle in the second spot, but Noelle and Blythe are already so short. And Noelle also happens to be a family name, as well, so I'm not sure what else I'd pair with it? Unless I did something like Zara Blythe Noelle or Zara Noelle Blythe, but I'm not sure I really like the pairing of Blythe and Noelle...

Hi all,
This question has been answered before in this thread:
Currently, the only way to fix those issues you are experiencing is following: uninstall whatever version of JDK you have and install 32bit JDK7u17. It's still available for download from Oracle:
Make sure that you use 32bit version of JDK, even if your PC is 64bit.
SDK team is aware of this issue and hopefully something will change in the future.

History in the making
The most famous lynching in the history of the U.S.A occurred during the same year this film was released. The lynching of serial pedophile, rapist and convicted child killer, Leo M. Frank. Is there a connection?

A historically correct- albeit truncated, portrayal of the Reconstruction period
Once you get used to the silent aspect of it, this is an engaging film. I enjoyed the second part more than the first & the ending, most of all. In the 70s, even college history classes were very dry-entirely sanitized & did not nearly portray the horrors of the Reconstruction. (It didn't match the stories passed down in my family at. all.) We hear a lot, today, about "hate" & "racism", but I have never heard anyone- especially those who are so frivolously accused of these, reach the poisonous hatred & viciousness of the abolitionist yankees of the era or of the liberals & blacks, today. I have just finished "Authentic History, Ku Klux Klan, 1865-1877 (available on this website); written in 1924 by Susan Lawrence Davis, & this movie is a good companion to it. (The book was what compelled me to seek out this movie) The parallels between then & now are truly chilling. The rhetoric of the abolitionists- especially of the, then, governor of Tennessee (William Brownlow), Harriet Beecher (Stowe) & her brother, Harold, was appalling beyond expression. I wish they would run this on tv to provide people with some perspective, but I'm sure it would only be denigrated & ridiculed by the left, anyway.

A Transformational Film
A groundbreaking film of its time, in technique and scope. An accurate portrayal of American racism between whites and blacks in the 19th century. Like Huckleberry Finn it is inexcusable to censor or window dress the film to make it more pleasant to our 2011 ears.

I do not exaggerate
You should only watch this if you are strong enough to handle having the Civil War in your soul.
Why? Because this movie WILL stick with you like glue, that is - unless you have no soul...

It doesn't seem like this is the original soundtrack, but I really wanted to know where the music was from. Included in the soundtrack are Mendelssohn's "Ruy Blas" overture, Dvorak's 8th Symphony, the last movement, and Edvard Grieg's Holberg Suite.

A Masterpiece of any ERA
Like Gone With the Wind (the Producers looked at Birth of A Nation to compare their vision) - this film must be viewed through the eyes of the people who saw it when released. Opinions are not facts. It was an international success. Their beliefs at the time are not necessarily the beliefs of those today. They were not even the beliefs of everyone from that era. Films are a point of view of the Director. And the closing card of the film, as noted by a previous reviewer states the Director's intent. The acting, scope, style are indeed a powerful, as is Gone With The Wind when viewed today. In GWTW black people were referred to as "darkies" & "inferiors." That reflects the author of the book and her writing. When looked at with open minded hearts and eyes and placed in context of the time it was released - indeed, a masterpiece.

Historically Speaking
David W. Griffith's wonderfully visionary story about World War I, the consequences of seeking retributions from and causing damage to Germany under the Treaty of Versailles, the formation of The League of Nations to try to enforce the unfair terms of that treaty, and the equally horrible (but very predictable) retaliation by the misled followers of a racist visioniory of an Aryian nation named Adolph Hitler; right up to the invasion of Poland to reclaim the Polish corridor.
That's the movie you saw, right? If not, maybe the adage "Those who do not learn from history are forced to repeat it." applies.
Thanks D. W. G. for showing us that how we end war(s) is more important than why we fight war(s).
Racists be damned, this is a 10/10!

I agree with one reviewer...
..who stated that technical innovation is not enough to make a movie great; storytelling is just as, if not more, important.
And the racism in this film should NOT be simply overlooked or excused.
What is especially insidious is that the story is portrayed as 'fact'.
There was an interview with Griffith in 1930, (seen on Masters of the Silent Screen) and when asked about this film, he actually believed this is what the South post-Civil War was really like - at first, I thought, 'how in the WORLD could he actually think that?' Then, I read a little about him on Wikipedia - and, considering his background, it's not surprising in the least - not only was he a Southerner, but his father was an Army Colonel in the Confederate Army. So, it's not wonder he had such viewpoints.
What is doubly sad, though, is what a blockbuster this movie was. Just gives you an idea of the mentality of this country at the time...

The Birth of the Epic
Considering most movies at this time were shorts, the feat of conceiving, let alone producing three hours in a new and such untried medium, must have seemed inconceivable at the time.
Where does a director start, with such a potentially powerful and new media at his disposal? His country's history and of course, the Civil War, which ultimately shaped it. The interweaving of the personal drama is standard now and though those parts seem a little disconnected and boring now - probably because watching 3 hours on a laptop, viewing inevitably gets interrupted.
As to the whole racist element - I'm not condoning it for one second, but this was 95 years ago, it was partly based on a novel called The Clansman and obviously was a big issue then and Griffith didn't have hindsight. Testing the water, you could say. I did find it interesting that his clansmen are more like Samurai as they storm into confrontation than the subsequent and more usual portrayal of them as they went about their despicable business.
Quite rightly it has its place in history and one which I can now cross off my list to see. Any film that stands the test of time is either confrontational, controversial or technically ground-breaking. This is all three. That also means not perfect and not necessarily completely enjoyable, either.

Technical Innovation Isn't Enough
I understand that Birth of a Nation was a pioneering film as far as technical innovations. But in my opinion a film's storytelling should be just as important, if not more important than the technical aspects. And in the case of this movie, the storytelling is bigoted and frankly inaccurate.
The Conscience -
Should A Way of Life be Censored for the Sake of Political Correctness?
Reviewers who so passionately and eloquently write against this film seem to do so BECAUSE of, rather than IN SPITE OF, its popularity. Any film that strikes such a responsive cord in a such a large population should be seen, if for no other reason than to understand the beliefs of a population, especially if that population lives next to you.
Film, like other forms of expression, reflects the ideals and values of a people and a culture. But these critics seem to argue that hatred should be repressed, not expressed for the sake of assimilation. Historically that has never worked. Repressed hatred is a pressure cooker whose pent up steam will explode far more violently than if it escaped from a relief valve.
I oppose racial descrimination and groups that advocate it, but equally oppose those who attack my freedom of speech and my right to defend myself against those who would attempt against my life or freedom of choice.
The film's primary argument is that after the Civil War, organizations such as the KKK provided a much needed relief valve for the pent up steam of a large group of proud people who rebelled against the injustice of losing their property, dignity and way of life. Gone With the Wind was more subtle, (and less explanatory) but no different.
The movie depicted government at its worst and rebellion at its best. The film will certainly be hated by the communist and globalist varieties of socialists. For that reason alone, I give it 5 stars.
The film showed that those in power who claim to supress hatred are those who repress freedom whenever an opinion or behavior is opposed to theirs. They are happy to provide us with a grey world of subservience that they design and implement while they hide their own prejudice behind their hipocrecy.
This movie offers the belief, hope and motivation to those under despotic rule, that freedom can be achieved by opposing tyranny. That lesson is as relevant today as it was after the Civil War.

I cannot imagine why any human being would ever mock the sanctity of human existence. Moreover, state, "Israelites would appreciate" this type of ignorance considering the catastrophic consequences of WWII.
"Birth of a Nation" amplifies the type of society we continue to evolve from ~~ suits, social appetites, and greed have replaced ~ White Hoods.
As a direct result, social demographics along with economics are camouflaged.
This film is a depiction of community genocide in the name of reconstruction, along the lines of social order then and now.
A Familiar, ring tone of the North and South in the twenty ~ first century.
Unfortunately, it has expanded into a global state, better known as Archives!
THANKS TO Mr. Griffith and those would appreciate his work!
I believe the American dream often applauses, the impalpable in the name of history as well as social order.
While I am grateful, we have Amendments; and equally sadden that some of us choose to use them to instigate discord, rather than promote social impartiality.

This can't be forgotten
My, my. A century later, this still seems to bring out the worst of the worst. You sound a little bitter, MatthewOtt.
I've never been able to watch this movie in its entirety. There is a sickness about it that makes it too painful to go further. I've watched many films of that era, with demeaning caricatures of African Americans and others, but accept those as reflections of the period. But this goes well beyond that, glorifying violence and hatred and serving as a rallying call for one of the most despicable spectacles in our history. I prefer to think Griffith was sincere in saying he had no such intention. But this is what he'll be most remembered by, and many people do not look back at him favorably for that reason.
Reading MatthewOtt's "review" initially gives me regrets of having uploaded this film and makes me consider removing it. But it's a piece of history that can't be forgotten, and it's too important to be aware that this kind of vileness is still among us.

A movie only Israelites can appreciate
To all you self loathing whites who's heads are buried in the Talmud...where is our white history month? The only propaganda you need to be worried about is the jewish propaganda that sees to it that our race is to be bred and illegally immigrated out of existence. This country is the New Jerusalem of scripture where Yahweh regathered his people Israel...THE WHITE RACE! This country was obviously founded by white Christian men, with the foundation of law using the bible as it's cornerstone. By not keeping our race SEPARATE as demanded by Yahweh throughout the entire bible, we have brought our current condition upon ourselves. I'd be willing to bet most of you idiots felt sorry for those satanic beasts in Haiti who 100 years ago wiped out the entire white population, changing the richest nation in the Carribean to a below 3rd world cesspool. Wake up white people, to the fact that you are the Israelites of the bible. The facts and evidence are there, all you have to do is look.
JohnLloydScharf -
Having read all the rest of the "reviews," it appears that two things are advocated. The first is that human beings have little or no ability to form a will of their own once shown a film. The second is that, because of the first, censorship should be allowed. The propanda that exists and is not addressed in the film is that slavery has been abolished and there was no slavery in the North. If you have been convicted of a crime, the Constitution does not prohibit it. After the 1857 decision that "negros" are not persons, in Scott V. Sandford, there was no place it could be prohibited.

American Terrorism Documented
This film document unequivocally white Americans culture both with distorting history and with terrorism. Much of what the KKK did back in those days was never prosecuted and that has effected white sense of justice when it comes to African American to this day. (Seeing some of the comments here, prove my point!)

Ponder of Ponders ....
Here are some things that are profoundly amazing about this movie: 1. It is preserved in excellent quality compared to other films that were released in 1915. 2. The movie masterfully suspends reality. So much so that many people actually believed that what was happening on the screen was more like a documentary than a drama. 3. Those not used to watching silent films can still be drawn into the story line, even for the length of the film. 4. The KKK used this film as a recruitment tool even up to the mid-1970s, and I remember seeing an ad for a screening of the film in 1990 for the film's 75th anniversary. I'm sure the KKK was there ready to recruit. 5. This film caused some to think that the court's decision in Plessy v. Ferguson was overreaching (because the film portrays blacks as "forever inferior" to whites). 6. It set the tone for civil rights as a violent good v. evil battle; a feeling that still persists among many to this day.
It is definitely worth the 3 hours you'll spend watching it, if for no other reason, than to ponder what I have pondered and to imagine how civil rights might have progressed had the movie not been made.

It's not out of date yet, unfortunately
There are those amongst us who are still waiting for the little Colonel to return with his white sheets and remove the Mulato from power. Just watch certain news programs and observe certain politcians to see this latent tendency. It is part of our culture, like it or not.
The film depicts, overtly, what many would like to do covertly today. It is representative of our worst devils and not our better angels. Therefore, it is an important film from a sociological perspective.

When the good guys all wore white hoods
D. W. Griffith didn't invent every technique used in The Birth of a Nation. Billy Bitzer was the cinematographer who came up with many including shooting at night. The film represents the culmination of visual strategies to communicate narrative that the film industry had been working on for the first twenty years of its existence.
However, Griffith's work should suffer the same question as Leni Riefenstahl's - Film-Maker or Propagandist? A powerful film, one may ask why can't I praise art made for hate's sake by this son of a confederate army colonel. After all it's part of movie history. This 3 hour propagandist campaign, the first "feature" film, featuring an ignoble revision of history, is a malignancy that pervades our racial mindset even today. Griffith purposely exploited as many stereotypes as possible. The film justified racial segregation, disenfranchisement and brutal murder:
"We of the South have never recognized the right of the negro to govern white men, and we never will. We have never believed him to be the equal of the white man, and we will not submit to his gratifying his lust on our wives and daughters without lynching him." - Benjamin Tillman, U.S. Senator for South Carolina - served 1895 – 1918
Since the film opened on Feb 8, 1915 there was a recorded surge of lynchings in both the north and the south. Included among these is the Leo Frank lynching in August 1915 by a group of prominent men who called themselves the Knights of Mary Phagan.
One can be arrested for yelling "fire" in a crowded theater or for inciting a riot but Griffith's film gets one line of disclaimer for its racist content.
The film's denial of political and social equality is a denial of the U.S. Constitution, America's democratic ideal and very reason for existence. If the film was about communists it would have met a different fate. Its romanticism of [British] colonial fantasies of Aryan racial supremacy in the face of Griffith's revisionist view of Reconstruction was close to being permanently successful in barring blacks from positions of public trust in the United States for most of the last century.
50 million people saw it in the 5 years after its release. Absorbed as truth by a majority, the KKK's heroic portrayal as a special-ops-unit-4-righteousness led to its 1915 rebirth and on October 16, the men who lynched Leo Frank climbed Stone Mountain and burned a giant cross that was visible throughout the city. The imagery of the burning cross, which had not existed in the original Klan, had been introduced via The Birth of a Nation and The Clansman, the book upon which it was based. The anti-Semitic sentiments aroused by that case (Frank was Jewish), along with the ongoing racism fueled by Griffith's film, led William J. Simmons, a failed minister, to establish a new KKK on Thanksgiving night 1915 naming himself Imperial Wizard. In fact, the day the film opened in Atlanta, the local newspaper carried Simmons' announcement of "The World's Greatest Secret, Patriotic, Fraternal, Beneficiary Order," next to the advertisement of the movie. It broke all attendance records even with a $2 ticket price and had 4 runs to capacity audiences during the war years. It proved the major impetus for the reemergence of the Klan and created a nationwide Klan craze.
The new KKK emulated the fictionalized version of the Klan presented in the movie. After WWI in 1920 it grew exponentially when two out-of-work WWI publicists in Atlanta formed a partnership with a prohibition-closed bottle club owner. In 3 years, 3,000 members grew to 3 million due to better organizing techniques accompanied with special screenings of this film. At its peak in the mid-1920s, the KKK included about 15% of the nation's eligible population - 4–5 million men.
The film had a one year run in New York and was re-released in 1924, 1931, and 1938, so it remained in the public psyche for decades.
The sheer power of a film immortalizing wrong as right is what Jews, blacks and whites of good will had to overcome to achieve any semblance of religious and economic freedom, and civil rights and voting rights. Many at the cost of their livelihoods or lives.
A lesson the movie does teach is not to further abuse an already conquered people by trying to annihilate their dignity. You present the opportunity for demagogues to rise up as did Hitler and his Nazi party after the horrendous reparations Germany was forced to pay the Allies after WWI.
The Leopard's Spots is the first novel of Thomas Dixon's Ku Klux Klan trilogy that included The Clansman (Griffith's film's original title) and The Traitor. Dixon wrote them after seeing a performance of Uncle Tom's Cabin and in his anger at the play vowed to romanticize the Clan - his father and grandfather both being members. At the 1915 opening in New York, Dixon told the theater audience that he would have allowed no one but David Wark Griffith, son of a Confederate soldier, to direct the screenplay of his book. Dixon shows how important Griffith's role was in the spreading of this venom to a culture already predisposed to hatred and vengeance. Griffith brought Dixon's flawed Aryan dream for white supremacists, [neo-cons], etc. to a larger audience to create a collective memory that has exacerbated much of the misunderstanding, prejudice, fear, hate, political machinations (the Republican Party's Southern Strategy), pain, torture, death and sheer barbarism of our nation's racial history.
And all this says why it is a great recruitment film for the KKK. Further, Gish is far better in Broken Blossoms.

Dare we dream of a golden day when the bestial War shall rule no more.
It was an epic when it was made, and still a work of art in cinema history.
The first part show the "gentile" South and the war. It was romanticized to the extent that brother was fighting brother, friend was fighting friend, and in meeting during the war, they remained friends. Nice, but probably not accurate. Still, it made for a good story.
The second half is filled with controversy as the Carpetbaggers invade the South and establish Black rule that is designed to crush the Whites until the Golden Knights of the Ku Klux Klan save society to live in peace. This is the story as presented, not an interpretation.
Despite the historical inaccuracy, it it still a magnificent work with amazing performances by Lillian Gish, Mae Marsh, Henry B. Walthall, George Siegmann, and others. It is hard to believe that words are not needed to display feelings.

controversial indeed, amazingly shameful
ericthatsme -
I am nothing short of speechless that this film has been placed for download. Although this film is still considered controversial the controversy cannot take away from the fact that this film is a major contribution to American Cinema. D.W. Griffith (The father of American Cinema) has created a truly timeless masterpiece. I own this film and have watched it many times enjoying each viewing more than the last. Well worth taking the time to download and enjoy watching. I hope that this film will soon be followed by D.W. Griffith's next great piece "Intolerance", as well as any other masterpieces he created.

Called regular customer service today. Got a friendly voice on the line. When I asked if I could get just the Red Zone channel again this year I was told no, that's only available with the full ST. The CSR offered the ST Max package for $148 (half off) but when I asked again for just the Red Zone the CSR offered the regular ST w/Red Zone for NO CHARGE provided I stay with DirecTV for the next 12 months. Hell, I've been with them nearly 20 years now -- what's one more!
When I called to get the RZ channel they gave me the same deal, pretty awesome.

We integrate building skin and structural designs in new buildings, renovations and recladding projects, with scope and service offerings that can be tailored to accommodate the specific needs and budget of any project.
As architects push building forms into new territory, building skin designs have evolved to meet new geometric complexities. Faceted designs and thinner, more delicate enclosures are becoming the norm. These aesthetic qualities must be achieved without sacrificing performance requirements dictated by unique local conditions, sustainability objectives, demanding schedules and budget constraints.
Our teams provide façade consulting to architects, building owners and developers at all project stages. We offer a suite of specialty analyses, either as stand-alone services or as part of a broader scope, that solve complex design challenges, improve constructability, maximize energy efficiency and increase security. We also perform a range of construction support consulting services to assist contractors during bidding, negotiation, value engineering, post-contract review and site supervision.
Building skins vary as widely as an architect's imagination, with equally diverse solutions by engineers, contractors and manufacturers. Our expertise in systems and materials ranges from traditional curtain walls to innovative custom design solutions. Our capabilities in 3D parametric and building information modeling allow us to work directly with a variety of manufacturers worldwide on design, consulting, engineering and installation of these systems.

White Dresses in Every Style, Ever
My favorite dresses are short, not too clingy and long-sleeve—ideal for showing off good shoes, eating the wedding cake worry-free and weathering over-air-conditioned places. But maybe you're more of a strapless, mid-length and tight sort of girl, or that's what's more flattering on you. That's cool.
Everyone's got a favorite dress style, and I don't expect yours to be mine—which is precisely why I've sorted all these white dresses into thirty (thirty!) different types according to their cut and fit. Because while you probably already know you want a new white dress (It's May, so it's time, although apparently guys love them year-round) maybe you don't know where your white dress is hiding. So I did the work for you. It's below. I promise.

With Anne Hathaway leaping onto the screen as the latest big-screen incarnation of Catwoman in "The Dark Knight Rises," join us for a look at the actresses who slipped into the catsuit before her.
Lee Meriwether played Catwoman in the 1966 movie version of "Batman." The movie also featured Burgess Meredith as The Penguin (pictured) and Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin.
Meriwether, who was Miss America 1955, went on to play Betty Jones, the crime-solving partner in the long-running 1970s crime drama "Barnaby Jones," and had a recurring role on "All My Children" through the show's end in 2011.
Julie Newmar played Catwoman on the "Batman" TV series from 1966-1967.
Newmar, seen here in 2009, had her first major role, billed as "Julie Newmeyer", as "Dorcas," one of the brides in 1954's "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers." In 2010, she voiced the role of Martha Wayne, Bruce Wayne's mother, in an episode of the animated series "Batman: The Brave and the Bold."
Eartha Kitt played Catwoman on the "Batman" TV series from 1967-1968.
Kitt was also known for her highly distinctive singing style and her 1953 hit recordings of "C'est Si Bon" and the enduring Christmas novelty smash "Santa Baby." She died on Dec. 25, 2008.
Michelle Pfeiffer slipped into Catwoman's suit to play the feline fetale in "Batman Returns" (1992), the hit sequel to director Tim Burton's "Batman," starring Michael Keaton as the Caped Crusader.
Pfeiffer has since starred in such movies as "Dangerous Minds," "What Lies Beneath" and "Hairspray." Her two most recent films are 2012's "People Like Us" and "Dark Shadows."
Adrienne Barbeau voiced Catwoman for eight episodes of "Batman: The Animated Series" from 1992-1995. She also has voiced the character in episodes of the animated TV shows "The New Batman Adventures" and "Gotham Girls."
Barbeau, seen here in 2011, is best known for her role as Bea Arthur's daughter in the TV series "Maude" and as a sex symbol in the 1980s in horror and sci-fi movies like "The Fog," "Creepshow" and "Swamp Thing."
Halle Berry played Catwoman in a stand-alone movie in a 2004 movie that bombed. Berry did have class to humor herself, though, and accept a Razzie Award for Worst Actress -- in person!
Catwoman was hardly the first superhero role for Berry, who played Ororo Munroe/Storm in the three "X-Men" movies.
Gina Gershon voiced Catwoman in the animated series "The Batman" for five episodes between 2004 and 2007.
Gershon, seen here in 2011, is best known for her roles in the films "Cocktail," "Showgirls," "Bound," "Face/Off" and "The Insider." Her most recent role was as a supporting cast member in the HBO series "How to Make It in America."
"Melrose Place" star Courtney Thorne-Smith voiced Catwoman in the 2005 direct-to-video computer animated film "Batman: New Times."
Thorne-Smith has also starred in the shows "Ally McBeal," "According to Jim" and "Two and a Half Men."
Nika Futterman appeared as Catwoman in five episodes of "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" between 2009 and 2011. The veteran voice actor has also had roles in such shows as "G.I. Joe: Renegades," "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and "Hey Arnold!"
Eliza Dushku provided the voice for the feline fatale in both "Batman: Year One" and the short "DC Showcase: Catwoman" in 2011.
Dushku is well known for her roles in the sci-fi/fantasy TV shows "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Angel" and "Dollhouse."

"When I was one-and-twenty..."
by A. E. Housman (1859-1936)
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say,
'Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies
But keep your fancy free.'
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard him say again,
'The heart out of the bosom
Was never given in vain;
'Tis paid with sighs a plenty
And sold for endless rue.'
And I am two-and-twenty,
And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.

The program prepares students to assume an active career in teaching and/or research or to pursue further graduate studies. A faculty mentor will direct each student admitted to the program. Research strengths of the department include aquatic biology, wildlife biology, mammalogy, physiological ecology, paleontology and evolution, biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics, microbial ecology, parasitology, animal behavior and botany. Most faculty have research labs and are supported by grants. Graduate education is necessary for many fields of biology. Although some state, federal and private sector jobs are available for baccalaureate students, many employers prefer individuals with advanced training. Sometimes the M.S. is necessary in order to qualify for higher income or a more challenging position. Students with the M.S. may find employment with various industrial or state and federal agencies (e.g., fish and wildlife units, National Institute of Health (NIH) labs, pharmaceutical companies).
What do people do with their MBA degrees?: The MBA is the most versatile of all graduate degrees, in terms of the range of career options it affords you. You can use the MBA in virtually any field, because it gives you the kind of multidimensional, multifaceted, multi-industry and multifunctional dimension that no other graduate degree does. And, of course, if you wish to pursue a teaching career in Accounting, Finance, Management, Marketing and other business areas, our MBA students have gone to some of the best doctoral/PhD programs in the world including, but not limited to: Columbia University, Purdue University, and University of Edinburgh (Scotland).
Department Website Program Director: Dr. Kevin Revell Phone: (270) 809-6540 Email: email@example.com Overview
The degree in Chemical Manufacturing Management is designed primarily for students working in the chemical manufacturing industry who are looking to increase their understanding of chemical processes, and their ability to quantitatively optimize manufacturing logistics. Requirements for Admission to the Master of Science Program in Chemical Manufacturing Management
Students who wish to be considered for admission to graduate study leading toward the Master of Science in Chemical Manufacturing Management (CMM) degree must have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college and have completed an undergraduate major or equivalent in chemistry or a closely related discipline, with an overall grade point average of at least 2.75. In exceptional cases a student with a lower grade point average may be admitted conditionally, and after completion of nine hours of graduate work may be admitted to full standing by that student's advisory committee. For international students, a minimum score of 550 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required for unconditional admission. Applicants with TOEFL scores between 500 and 550 may be admitted on a conditional basis, but their proficiency in English will be further evaluated upon their arrival on campus, and they may be required to undertake additional study of English prior to beginning graduate work in the program. Because the selection process is competitive, applicants are strongly encouraged to provide GRE scores with their application materials. Degree Requirements
Each candidate must complete 30 credits of coursework spanning the chemistry and engineering technology programs. For students who wish to complete a thesis, an additional 3 credits of thesis research (CHE 698) is also required.
Additional inquiries into the CMM program may be sent to the graduate coordinator at email@example.com.
Department Website Program Director: Dr. Kevin Revell Phone: (270) 809-6540 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com The Department of Chemistry offers the Master of Science in Chemistry degree with thesis and non-thesis options. The non-thesis option is intended for candidates with at least two years experience in industrial or governmental laboratories. Both options require a minimum of 30 total credit hours. To enhance confidence and poise, each student is encouraged to participate in the departmental teaching program and is required to present seminars in specialty areas. For students who choose the thesis option, these will consist of one literature and one research seminar. Non-thesis students will be required to present two seminars, one of which is ordinarily a presentation describing the industrial or governmental laboratory experience that is to be substituted for the thesis requirement. The Master of Science graduate program in chemistry is designed to prepare the student for further academic work or for immediate employment in the chemical industry. We have been quite successful in placing our graduates in both of these areas. Our students gain "hands-on" experience with research tools including GC/MS, AA, NMR and FT-NMR, IR, UV/VIS, HPLC, molecular modeling and other modern analytical techniques. Active research is conducted in diverse areas of both pure and applied research ranging from the study of novel reaction mechanisms to the analysis of environmental pollutants.
The mission of the low-residency MFA program at Murray State University is to provide quality advanced instruction to creative writers while allowing them to live and work where they choose. Our foremost goal is to facilitate the creative and professional growth of writers, but the degree also offers the necessary academic credentials for a writer to teach creative writing at the college or university level. It also provides a foundation for careers in other writing-related fields. Of the 49 hours required for the degree, 13 hours must be completed on campus in January and July residencies. The remaining 36 can be completed via distance learning. These 36 hours comprise three semester-long Graduate Tutorials (6 hours each), a Creative Thesis (6 hours), the New Madrid Field Study (3 hours) and three graduate literature courses (3 hours each). The graduate literature courses may also be completed on campus at Murray State. (While students may transfer up to nine semester hours—"B" or higher—of graduate-level literature courses from another accredited graduate institution, they must complete all residencies, tutorials and the field study within the MFA program at Murray State.)
In order to succeed in this program, students will need a good undergraduate background in Calculus, Statistics and Economics. It is not unusual that entering students are advised to take a few undergraduate classes when they begin their studies in the M.S. in Economics program. Many of the students selecting the Finance option study for the first and second exams leading to the CFP designation.

Department Website Program Director: Mr. George Rice Phone: (270) 809-6216 Email: email@example.com This is Kentucky's only Program of Distinction of its kind and is one of very few in the nation and the world. The TSM graduate program provides students with a very unique competitive edge rarely found in other graduate programs; graduates from the program come away knowing how to manage technology, as well as how to manage with telecommunications technology. This unique combination of skills is possible because of the program's interdisciplinary nature, combining technical and technology skills with business skills to produce well-rounded, competitive-edge graduates for the 21st Century telecommunications industry. The full time program is offered in Murray, while the online program is also available. Students complete ten graduate courses (30 credit hours) broken down into 24 hours of required courses (8 courses) and six hours of electives (2 courses). Graduates from this program have gone to work in the U.S. and some foreign countries for banks, insurance companies, technology companies, governmental agencies, and universities in such positions as telecommunications systems administrator, technical sales executive, internet engineer, SQL database administrator, information technology analyst, business development executive, e-commerce developer, and data network supervisor, among many others.
Department Website Program Director: Dr. Johan Koren 3201 Alexander Hall, Murray, KY 42071 Telephone: 270-809-2760 Libraries are not just for books any more—technology is just as important. Overall, school libraries are about literacy—21st century literacy—reading all kinds of documents, both print and online, and knowing how to use them to answer questions and support your research. If your passion isn't just about Winnie the Pooh and Harry Potter, but also includes wikis and Facebook, if helping kids learn and learn how to learn excites you, then library media is for you.
Murray State University offers a master's degree in education in library media that is open to applicants with a bachelor's degree or above. Candidates with a master's degree who are looking for a rank change may take this program, since a second master's degree qualifies for a Rank I. The degree, together with the Praxis II for Library Media Specialist, will qualify you for certification as a school media librarian for P-12 in Kentucky. There are two tracks: If you are already certified as a teacher, you will take the following: MA in Education in Library Media for Certification in Library Media.
The degree is 34 credit hours, most of which are online, except for 4 practicum classes, where you work in a school library under the supervision of an experienced certified school media librarian. The GRE is not required for admission to the program. If you do not have a prior certification, you will take the following: MA in Education in Library Media for Initial Certification. This track is also 34 credit hours, but includes 12 weeks of student teaching at the end of the program. Students seeking initial certification in education (not currently certified in any educational area) must meet all requirements for admission to Teacher Education, including completing 200 hours of field experience, in compliance with 16 KAR 5:040 (3). The GRE is not required for admission to the program, but for entry into teacher education, you are required to have a minimum score of 400 in both the verbal and quantitative areas of the GRE, or you can take the PPST, with minimum scores of 173 in math and in reading and 172 in writing.

The Master of Arts in Postsecondary Education Administration (PSE) prepares emerging leaders to become transformational practitioners of higher education and student affairs within the context of the P-20 environment. The mission of the program is to develop influential leaders that understand the comprehensive nature of higher education and can apply alternative solutions to contemporary issues within the field.
The PSE program targets those who desire a career in this exciting field as well as individuals with an established career in higher education looking for advancement. The core curriculum fosters growth in research, human relations, multicultural inclusion, and leadership theory. The two supervised internships offer students an opportunity to test drive functional areas in higher education from an administrative perspective. Faculty advisors will work closely with each student to identify site placement to best serve his/her personal and professional goals. The specializations in Higher Education and Student Affairs are differentiated by nine credit hours of predetermined courses.
Program Director: Dr. Randal Wilson Phone: 270-809-3168 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com The EdD in P-20 and Community Leadership program will produce bold and innovative agents of change to lead to P-20 initiatives that will benefit communities and organizations in which they will serve. This program is one of the FIRST doctorates in the nation to provide an innovative and integrated P-20 approach to educational leadership across the continuum.
The Doctor of Education in P-20 and Community Leadership program is designed for working professionals and has been intentionally designed with a cohort approach to learning. Program faculty will assist each cohort to develop into an effective and productive learning community wherein students challenge and support one another. We believe that a cohort approach for adult learners fosters a spirit of camaraderie and leads to a higher completion rate as compared to other approaches to doctoral studies.
In addition, the composition of the cohort represents a variety of specialized interests including pK-12 education, higher education, STEM leadership and community leadership. Such diverse professional networks are valuable for career development, professional growth and support, as well as future collaborative projects and initiatives across sites, districts, or institutions of higher education.
The executive-style delivery of blended (weekend and web-enhanced) courses speaks to the needs of leaders surveyed in our service region. The cohort will meet, in person, four weekends per semester with the remainder of the coursework being completed via an online/distance media. There is also a one week residency on campus during the first summer semester.
Department Website Program Director: Dr. Marty Dunham Telephone: 270-809-6466 Email: email@example.com Welcome to the Murray State University School Psychology program! We offer two School Psychology training options, both of which lead to certification as a School Psychology allowing program completers to work in pre-K to 12 schools. The original program, established in 1997, is considered a "6th year" program because it requires a master's degree in a related field (e.g., counseling, psychology, communication disorders) as a prerequisite for admission. Additional specialization coursework, depending upon the student's entire graduate academic record, is provided which leads to certification. The 6th year program consists of 60 total graduate hours (6 of which are the year-long internship). The newest program we offer is the Specialist in Education Degree program. Unlike the 6th year program, this program does not require a masters degree as a prerequisite for admission. Students can be accepted into the program after they obtain an undergraduate degree in a related field. The specialist degree requires 66 credit hours for completion. Like the 6th year program, 6 credit hours are the year-long internship. The required coursework for both programs is identical, although the Ed.S degree program requires one additional course in research-the specialty study.
The philosophy of the School Psychology program is to prepare generalists who can offer a wide range of assessment, consultation, and intervention services to a diverse population of children, teachers, and schools. As such, the coursework for the School Psychology programs consists of specialized training, supervision, and field experiences in child development, learning, assessment, mental health counseling, and academic intervention. The training in psychology and education provides the skills to work with preschoolers, children, adolescents, teachers, and families, and emphasis is placed on developing the skills needed to work with all school personnel to help make education a positive and rewarding experience for students.

The Packer has done a disservice to its readers by choosing to run it without question, including the assertion that organic certification is a "lax bureaucracy that masquerades as oversight."
And while impugning the credibility of organic producers, Popoff completely ignores the benefits of organic food and farming.
As the largest grower of organic produce (and likely one of the "corporate organic farms" he refers to) in the U.S., we have the status to rebut Popoff's portrayal of the organic industry as failing "to uphold even the most basic rules of common sense" and correct the misperceptions that his essay perpetuated.
Earthbound Farm holds the integrity of organic production as the most important aspect of our program. We have earned the trust of customers and consumers because of our rigorous organic integrity and dedication to the principles of organic farming.
You can trust that we frequently sit across the table from our consumers and share, very transparently, what we do.
Finally, we are strong proponents of testing as a means of validating the integrity and efficacy of our production and processes in organic and food safety.
Here are some examples:
- Food safety testing: Earthbound Farm's food safety program is unparalleled in the produce industry. We test for salmonella, non-O157 EHECs and E. coli O157:H7 on inputs, water, field, raw product and finished goods. In raw product and finished goods testing, we add shigella testing into the mix.
- Fertilizer testing: Earthbound Farm's organic integrity program requires that all of our growers test all liquid fertilizers to ensure compliance with organic standards and food safety standards. Unannounced inspections and sampling of on-site fertilizer supplies ensure that tests conducted at the producer level agree with tests of the material found on farms.
- Pesticide residue testing: Earthbound Farm conducts regular spot pesticide residue testing, in addition to targeted testing if any of our unannounced organic integrity inspections raise any concerns at all.

Quick yoga and lifestyle tips to help you cope with some common problems which the season brings along and to make you better enjoy winter.
Nothing can be compared to the feeling of snuggling in a blanket on a chilly winter morning. Waking up lazily to a cup of hot coffee, sipping it while enjoying the mist outside the window, or chewing on nuts and dates in the evenings: Winter brings with it all these luxuries and more. But it is also involuntarily accompanied by dry skin, chapped lips, body ache, cold, cough, viral infections, and joint pains. Not to forget a general dull and gloomy feeling, which is an unsolicited gift of the weather outside.
Yoga can be your additional protective cover this winter, providing you warmth and the strength to fight common infections. We bring you a few yoga remedies that can help you fully enjoy the spirit of the season.
1. Keep warm. However tempting may be the idea of sleeping in, try not to avoid your daily yoga time. It will help you keep warm and also prevent those regular aches and stiffness in joints. Start your day with a few rounds of Surya Namaskar and follow them up with some warm-up exercises. Also include Sukshma Vyayam in your practice. This can help prevent rigidity in joints, a common occurrence in winter, especially among the elderly.
2. Indulge but burn it out. Winter just seems to give an excuse to gorge on countless delicacies – both sweet and savory. However, don't let it become an excuse to put on weight this winter. Eat whatever you like but make sure to sweat it out with some active yoga postures and stretches that help reduce weight while toning the internal organs as well.
Some of the asanas (postures) that can help include Trikonasana (Triangle Pose), Tadasana (Mountain Pose), UtthitaTrikonasana (Reversed Triangle Pose), Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend), inverted postures such as ViparitaKarani (Legs Up the Wall Pose) and Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand), Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose), Chakrasana (Wheel Pose), Dhanurasana (Bow Pose), and Shalabhasana (Locust Pose).
3. Keep the bug at bay. Come winter and behind it follow cold, cough, viral fever and the like. Regular yoga practice helps strengthen body immunity so that you can keep the bacteria at bay.
Says Neeta Singhvi, a college student, "I used to hate winter for the simple reason that I would fall sick every season. It would start with cold which would get worse and I would then end up in bed for five days with viral fever. I had had enough! But after doing the Sri Sri Yoga Course three years back, and practicing the techniques at home, I don't fall sick so often now. At least not every winter; I'm so relieved!"
Practicing pranayamas (breathing exercises) helps clear chest congestion, which is so common during winter, and also helps boost immunity. The best for the season is Surya Bhedana (Right Nostril Breathing). Kapal Bhati Pranayama (Skull Shining Breathing Technique) also heats up the body and is good to practice in winter. Also try JalNeti, an ancient yogic technique taught at Sri Sri Yoga Level 2 Course, to fight common allergies this winter.
4. Fight the blues. The dull, gloomy weather outside automatically casts its shadow on us and for no reason, we tend to feel low and lethargic. Make some time to meditate this season. It works like an instant mood changer and you can see the difference for yourself! It's a good idea to sit with your eyes closed for a few minutes as you end your daily yoga practice (after asanas and pranayamas). It is an ideal start to the day, preparing you to face the day with a strength and smile.
Diet and lifestyle tips for a healthy winter
If you wake up congested
in the morning, try any of
the following:
- Take 1 teaspoonful of lemon juice,
1 teaspoonful of ginger juice,
1 tablespoonful of honeyand mix well in 1 cup of lukewarm water.
- Boil 20 tulsi (basil) leaves, 5 grams of ginger, and 7 pepper corns in 2 glass of water.
Bring it down to 1 glass.
Add sweetener, if needed.
1. People with a predominant Kapha body constitution should take particular care during winter as Kapha imbalance is pretty common in the form of cold and cough. Ginger tea works best for Kapha people. Also, lessen the intake of grains.
2. Because of the cold outside, the body is instinctively in a contracted mode.Frequent body massage with oil that suits your skin type helps release contraction in the muscles.
3. Treat yourself to aroma therapy and light some eucalyptus oil in the room.It aids breathing and helps release any congestion in the throat or chest area.
4. According to Ayurveda, napping during the day in winter should be avoided. Also, avoid sleeping in for long hours as that promotes sluggishness in the body. Ensure an adequate sleep of 6-8 hours at night. As you get ready to sleep, gargle with warm water, a pinch of turmeric powder and salt,everyday or every alternate day.
5. Make sure you get your daily dose of sunlight by engaging in some outdoor activity such as gardening, early morning or late evening sun gazing, walking, etc.
6. Food preparations that contain milk, butter, sugarcane juice, and ghee (clarified butter) are recommended during this season. It is good to include warm soups, stewed vegetables, cooked rice and oatmeal in your diet. These foods provide soothing warmth to the system.
7. Nuts such as almonds, cashews, walnuts and pistachios (taken sparingly) make a good diet supplement in the cold weather. Dates, figs, spinach and green leafy vegetables are also ideal.
8. Herbal supplements such as Chyavanprash and Dasamoola Rasayan are particularly recommended in the winter season as they help fight cold in the body.

Rated 5 out of 5 Pre-Shave Oil - The missing link in your shave

Here comes The Art of Shaving® Pre-Shave Oil to the rescue. It softens and seems to gently lift the beard hairs in place so that they are ready for the next step. I can put down the chainsaw, as my lumberjack days are over.

I love unscented pre-shave oil. It did a great job of softening my beard and mustache for a close, easy shave. It did not leave an oily residue, but instead left a soft, clean feel. I would highly recommend this product, but you have to use the full size kit. It is definitely worth it!
