Incoming NSE Course Requests
Incoming NSE students who submit their paperwork and course registration requests by the deadlines will have priority registration and the Office of Student Engagement will process registration for courses. The more complete the initial Course Registration Request is, the more likely a student is to get their first choice classes. Delays in turning in paperwork (including immunization records and citizenship verification) and an accurate Course Registration Request will impact the ability to get the courses students want and need.
If students do not submit their paperwork and course registration requests by the deadlines or the Course Registration Request is incomplete then the incoming student is responsible for registering themselves for classes. With each passing day, course availability is limited, making it difficult to get into the desired classes. So make sure that the course registration request is submitted on-time.
Math Courses
Any incoming student on NSE who wants to take a math course at USC will need to take the math placement exam. Please take the online exam that can be found here: assess.math.sc.edu
Master Schedule
The Master Schedule on-line lists all course offerings for the calendar year.
- Go to the Master Schedule online. Select the semester and campus (Columbia) for exchange to get an accurate list of available courses.
- Students should meet with their advisor at their home institution to determine the appropriate courses to take. This step cannot be overlooked as it will alleviate many problems in the long run. Students should be sure to select twice as many courses as they may desire in the event that they may not get a desired course or section. Approval for all possible courses from the home campus is imperative in case a student needs to select second and third choices. Also, students must know which courses are needed for degree progression because if those courses are not offered at USC, the student will not be able to exchange with to USC.
- Course footnotes and prerequisites - Click on the course of interest on the master schedule and more details will appear. Students should be sure to pay attention to these because some courses will have prerequisites, major and/or school restrictions listed, which means that we will have to ask the academic department for clearance for a student to take the course(s) or they may not be able to take them at all. Students should talk with their advisor at the home institution about these footnotes and prerequisites. PLEASE NOTE: Honors only sections are restricted to Honors College students.
- Course compatibility - The Office of Student Engagement is not responsible for collecting syllabi or other course materials for determining whether or not a course meets specific academic requirements for a major or degree progression. Those requests must come from the student or the academic advisor directly to the specific academic department at the University where the course is taught. If looking for detailed descriptions, please refer to the Academic Bulletin.
- Seat availability - Please click on the seat availability for a course to see how many seats are left in a particular course or learn additional information such as if a section has been administratively closed or reached capacity.
- Please understand that if a course is closed then no student will not be able to register for it.
Course Overload Charges
Students at the USC campus are considered full-time if they have 12 credits, however, a student can take up to 16 credits without additional charges. If a student signs up for more than 16 credit hours they will have to pay an additional $80 per credit hour.
Course Registration Request Form
Once courses approved by the home institution, in the fields below, provide us with a list of first and second course choices. FOR EACH CLASS NSE students must give an alternative course in case the first choice is unavailable (For example, if listing MGMT 371 sect. 003 as the first choice, then also list an alternative course). Check all fields for accuracy to ensure that there are no scheduling conflicts. The more flexibility a student has with their schedule the more likely they are to get the courses that they need and want. Make sure to have approved back-up course selections ready prior to submitting the request.

Luminous and Non-Luminous Flames
Name: Brent Status: student Grade: 9-12 Location: TN Country: N/A Date: September 2006
Why does a luminous flame appear yellow and a nonluminous flame appear blue?
The yellow color in a luminous flame is basically the black-body emission from hot particles of soot in the flame. they are hot, and they glow like the filament of a light bulb.
In a blue flame, there are no particles of soot to give that incandescent radiation. Instead, the main color you see is blue emission from the high-energy C2 molecule.
Richard Barrans
The frequency or wavelength of light released by atoms or molecules depend on the energy being released by those substances. The Planck Equation describes exactly that, that there is a specific energy to a specific wavelength or frequency.
The difference between a yellow and blue flame depend on the amount of oxygen that is mixed in with the fuel. More oxygen means that the combustion reaction is more efficient and more energy is released. Remember that the more blue the visible light appears, the more energy that light will have.
Thus, it should make sense now that when more oxygen is fed into the system, the combustion is more efficient, more energy is released, and the light will be on the more energetic end of the spectrum, blue.

X Factor Where Are They Now: Season 1 Winner Melanie Amaro
| October 22, 2013 at 9:00 AM ESTWe're already on X Factor season three, but we've yet to see the release of season one winner Melanie Amaro's debut album.
So what happened to that $5 million recording contract she secured when she won the show almost two years ago? According to The Hollywood reporter, Melanie's album "Truly" was set to be released a few months following the December 2011 X Factor finale when she was crowned the winner. But shortly after that, the album was pushed back to late 2012 and then it was pushed back again to March 2013. March came and went and still no album, even though season 2 winner Tate Stevens' album dropped in April 2013. (More on where Tate is now coming soon)
After releasing three singles, "Don't Fail Me Now," "Love Me Now" and "Long Distance," and failing to gain much interest, Epic records still has no release date set for the album. It's starting to look like the album may never see the light of day.
Melanie has since made her stage debut in the play "You're Never Alone."

Melanie is a wonderful singer!!! The best I have heard in a long long time…and I am srill waiting for that album.
talk aout Epic Records and LA Reid – more like EPIC FAILURE!!!! They failed her miserably!!!!
I wont even watch X factor for one second _ Simon Cowell should be ashamed and embarrassed by what they have done to her career!Stay strong Melanie – YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!
I agree with you. How can you launch seasons two and failed with Melody. I guess it was all about them and not about her.
Her name's Melanie, not Melody.
She's that forgettable huh?
I didn't like anything about this girl. There is a reason her album never made it. SHE IS NOT AN ENTERTAINER!!!!
Melanie can sing. Maybe you need Uncle Charlie to help

Dr. Gang Chen |
Desertification is the changing of once-fertile land to desert as a result of drought, deforestation or inappropriate agricultural practices. The region of Xinjiang is experiencing the greatest threat of desertification in China. Resulting from desertification, the IUCN has listed the wild Bactrian camel as critically endangered. Adding to the threat of their survival is that the camels live in the Lopnur National Nature Reserve, adjacent to where farmers and herdsmen bring their sheep for additional foraging on wildly growing grasses and plants. In addition, local people use wild grasses and trees for cooking fuel because there is a shortage of conventional energy sources such as coal, gas and electricity.
Dr. Chen will use a series of oral and video presentations to a targeted group of 47 families along the border of the nature reserve to teach the ecological and economic values of his proposed planting and conservation plan. He plans to develop a sheep dung methane pit to provide fuel for cooking, which will enable the natural trees and grasses to grow and support the wild Bactrian Camels. The methane pit will generate enough fuel to meet the cooking, hot water, and lighting needs for a family of five while saving each family about 1.5 tons of firewood consumption per year.
In addition, Dr. Chen plans to plant branchy tamarisks (a kind of desert tree) to prevent further desertification and desert-living citanches (desert ginseng, with a high market value) to increase income for rural families. Without the stresses of sheep grazing and firewood cutting around the camel habitat, the ecological environment for the camels will gradually improve. The citanches and new fuel resources will also improve the quality of life for the people. |

Anybody know where I can get a big old fur coat?
Hey, I know it's late April. I know the weather's looking up. I know that fur coats have fallen out of fashion somewhat. Frankly, I don't care.
I think fur coats look awesome. A thick, luscious fur coat would make me so cool. I'd be like Fonzie, only not the Fonzie you know and love – I'd be like Fonzie as played by Johnny Depp in the upcoming Fonzie biopic entitled Fonzie: America's Shame, to be directed by Todd Solondz.
One of the great things about fur coats is how special it feels against your skin. You ever worn a full-length fur coat without anything on underneath? It feels like a wedding night with the angels.
You ever seen a man walking down the street in a full-length fur coat? Looks great, right? If I got a fur coat, I'd look like North Minneapolis's version of King Louis XIV. People would nod their heads to me and I would look them in directly in the eye and lick my lips aggressively. They would then continue on in startled silence. My fur coat would look sweet.
In summation, I'm in the market for a good fur coat bargain, and Johnny Depp has the inside track for the Best Actor Oscar in 2010.

I am furious with the fight that Speaker Gingrich has declared against Romney that I might must vote for Romney with the rest of my family just to piss him off.
Gingrich is a has been and should do everyone a favor and read the New Testament about slandering others. Jesus Christ would flip that any man with Gingrich's background would even take the position of running as a Catholic. Gingrich spent years as Speaker destroying Clinton and he lives to hurt and destroy others.
There is no halo assigned to him. Before his war on Romney I had no desire to vote for Romney but somebody should put Gingrich out of politics. He could do little harm now that we know what a hypocrite he is.

General Information
The Hutton Junior Fisheries Biology Program is a summer mentoring program for high school students sponsored by the American Fisheries Society. The principal goal of the Hutton Program is to stimulate interest in careers in fisheries science and management among groups underrepresented in the fisheries professions, including minorities and women. Application to the program is open to all 11th and 12th grade high school students regardless of race, creed, or gender. Students selected for the program are matched with a professional mentor in their area for a summer-long, hands-on experience in a marine or freshwater setting. A scholarship of $3,000 is awarded to each student accepted into the program.
Questions? Please visit http://hutton.fisheries.org/. If you have further questions, contact Beverly Pike, Director of Student and Professional Development at email@example.com or at 301.897.8616, ext. 213.
The Hutton Junior Fisheries Biology Program was named in honor of the late Dr. Robert F. Hutton. Dr. Hutton was the American Fisheries Society's first Executive Director, serving from 1965-72, and the AFS President from 1976-1977. In addition to his significant contributions to AFS, Dr. Hutton was a renowned marine fisheries administrator with the National Marine Fisheries Service and was known for his support of youth education as a dedicated member of the National Conservation Committee of the Boy Scouts of America.
All current 11th and 12th grade high school students are invited to apply to the Hutton Program, and applications from women and minority students are especially encouraged. Students selected for the program enjoy an eye-opening, hands-on experience in fisheries science for 8 weeks in the summer, mentored by local fisheries professionals. Among the many activities a student could assist with are stream sampling, seining, electrofishing, fish tagging and tracking, ecosystem restoration, public education, angler surveys, and laboratory analyses of fish to determine age and growth. All students selected for the Hutton Program are awarded a $3,000 scholarship. The Hutton Program is now in its tenth year. This past summer, 35 students participated in the program. Many Hutton alumni are now studying fisheries or a natural resources discipline in college. To learn more about the Hutton Program, please explore the other Hutton pages.
Questions? Contact The Hutton Program Coordinator, Kathryn Winkler.
Since the Hutton Program began in 2001, over 270 mentors have taken part in the Hutton Program. AFS is always looking for enthusiastic and dedicated mentor applicants who are willing to introduce high school students to the dynamic world of fisheries science. Students selected for the program are awarded a $3,000 scholarship from AFS.
Since the Hutton pairs students with mentors within a reasonable commuting distance, we strongly encourage mentor applicants to recruit qualified student applicants from their local high schools. To view and order materials to help in recruiting, click on 'Promotional Material Request'.
Mentors are allowed and encouraged to co-mentor with other fisheries professionals in the same or another host organization, in order to give students a broad view of the many dimensions of fisheries science. We welcome mentor applicants from municipal, state, federal, provincial, tribal, university, private, and non-governmental facilities in all states, commonwealths, and territories of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
To learn more about the Hutton Program, please explore the links on this page.
Questions? Contact Beverly Pike, Director of Student and Professional Development
Partners lend support in one or more ways, including: funding, recruitment, and advertising efforts, providing and supporting mentors, and providing additional opportunities to the students after they have graduated from high school.
The following partners have provided significant financial support for the Hutton Program:
- Arkansas Game and Fish Commission
- Education Section AFS
- NOAA/National Marine Fisheries Service
- North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
- Northwest Marine Technologies, Inc.
- USDA Forest Service
- U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Get AccessAbstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a 7-day oral supplementation with branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) to prevent muscle damage during a marathon. Forty-six experienced runners were randomly divided into two groups, one with BCAA supplementation (n = 25, supplemented with 5 g day−1 of powdered 1:0.5:0.5 leucine:isoleucine:valine, during the 7 days prior to the competition) and the other as a control group (n = 21, supplemented with an isocaloric placebo). Before the marathon race and within 3 min of finishing, leg muscle power was measured with a maximal countermovement jump and a urine sample was obtained. During the race, running pace was measured by means of a time-chip. Myoglobin concentration was determined in the urine samples as an indirect marker of muscle damage. A visual analog scale (0–10 points) was used to assess leg muscle pain during the race. In the BCAA group, the mean running pace during the marathon was similar to the control group (3.3 ± 0.4 vs. 3.3 ± 0.5 m s−1, respectively, 0.98). The pre- to post-race reduction in muscle power was similar in both BCAA and control groups (−23.0 ± 16.1 vs. −17.3 ± 13.8 %, P = 0.13). Post-race urine myoglobin concentration was similar in both BCAA and control groups (5.4 ± 7.5 vs. 4.5 ± 8.6 μg mL−1, P = 0.70). Finally, there were no differences between groups in the perceived muscle pain during the race (6 ± 1 vs. 5 ± 1 points, P = 0.80). A 7-day supplementation of BCAA (5 g day−1) did not increase the running performance during a marathon. Furthermore, BCAA supplementation was ineffective to prevent muscle power loss, muscle damage or perceived muscle pain during a marathon race.

Allnatt diamond
Allnatt diamond is a diamond which is believed to be found in the Premier mine in South African Republic. This beautiful diamond got the name Allnatt after one of its owners, Major Alfred Ernest Allnatt, who was a famous soldier, sportsman, businessman and generous benefactor. Allnatt diamond weighs 101.29 carats (20.258g) and have cushion cut shape. He got fancy vivid yellow color rate by the Gemological Institute of America.
Read our story about famous yellow diamonds.
Allnatt diamond as a part of The Splendor of Diamonds collection
True origin of Allnatt diamond is still unknown until it was purchase by Major Allnatt in early 1950′s. After the purchase, the owner debited Cartier to process the diamond.
The result of finish process was a platinum flower with five petals, a stem and two leaves. This beautiful diamond has been sold at Cristie's auction in Geneva in May 1996th for a little more than $3 million, specifically for $3,043,496.00.
At the time of sale in 1996th, Allnatt diamond weighed 102.07 carats (20.41g) and was rated as fancy intense yellow in color. After being purchased by the SIBA Corporation, the diamond has been restored to the original weight and intensity.
And finally, Allnatt diamond was exposed at Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History which lasted from 27th June to 30th September 2003th, as a part of the exhibition The Splendor of Diamonds, along with the Steinmetz Pink diamond, the Millennium Star diamond, The Heart of Eternity diamond, the Pumpkin diamond, the Moussaieff Red diamond and the Ocean Dream diamond.

on December 17, 2013It has been a tough week for Chris Christie, the winter-book favorite for the Republican presidential nomination. First, there was that Des Moines Register poll that showed how much work he still has to do among the Bible-banging hayshakers of the Iowa primary electorate. (Zombie-eyed granny starving is wildly popular among them, as are Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, and Rick Perry, the Wingnut Magi.) Also, a big 30 percent of them don't approve of Big Chicken at all. Then there is this blossoming story in which Big Chicken's people are alleged to have taken some old-school James Michael Curley vengeance on the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee because the mayor declined to endorse Big Chicken for re-election.
The subpoenas, issued to key officials of the bistate agency, demanded "all documents and correspondence, produced between Aug. 1, 2013 and the present date between Governor Chris Christie or any member of his administration and/or any employee, officer, or executive of the Port Authority." The subpoenas give the officials until Thursday to respond.Abruptly and without warning, the agency closed two of three local access lanes Sept. 9 to 13, turning Fort Lee streets into a parking lot for five days and angering commuters and local officials accustomed to advance notice.
(It is Boston political legend that, whenever Curley was challenged for re-election, water mains mysteriously would break in front of the challenger's headquarters on election day. This was considered charming back then. Nixon, history's yard waste, ruined campaign hijinks for us forever.)
At first, Big Chicken tried to bluster his way past the affair. Then people found it necessary to resign. It was either an astonishingly petty, or an astonishingly stupid, act. There is no third alternative. (The "traffic study" alibi was laughable.) In either case, it's not something you want to see from someone who aspires to control, say, the IRS or the NSA. And Big Chicken has a notorious sweet-tooth not only for political retribution, but for the perks of office as well. Now, it's possible that the whole thing will be irrelevant when the first snow falls over Ames in 2015. But, while the base loves angry bullies, it doesn't love arrogant poltroons. That's where Big Chicken is at the moment. Welcome to the NFL, dude.
