|NVCC 1998-1999 Catalog
Instructional Programs
[ NVCC Home Page | Catalog Search | Table of Contents | Instructional Programs | Previous Page | Next Page ]
  The College offers numerous opportunities for those who wish to pursue health-related careers. Each certificate and degree program is designed with the advice of community health professionals to include a balance of technical and general education courses. In response to community needs, specialized short-term courses or technical certificates are also offered.
The Health Science programs consist of the Annandale Campus' Health Technology programs and the Veterinary Technology program at the Loudoun Campus. Students may take general education support courses at any of the five College campuses.
Because of limited laboratory, classroom and/or clinical space, certain Health Science programs have limited enrollment. Acceptance to Northern Virginia Community College does not constitute acceptance into a specific Health Science program. The College contracts with a large number of Metropolitan Washington health-care facilities and community-based agencies for clinical instruction. These contracts regulate the conditions under which NVCC Health Science students may obtain required clinical experience and in some cases may specify program requirements.
Each program has specific admission, program continuation, and program completion criteria. These are described under each program. Due to the unique responsibilities involved in health careers, the college reserves the right to require that any student who appears to be unsuited for any Health Sciences program be withdrawn and guided into a more suitable field of study.
Admission into an Annandale Campus program begins with application to the College, followed by attendance at a program information session. A program placement interview with a counselor or a program head may also be required. Admission is not complete until all admission requirements are met. Early application is desirable.
Students are accepted on a first-come/first-served basis with priority given to: (1) legal residents domiciled in the cities and counties supporting the College, (2) other Virginia legal residents, (3) out-of- state applicants, and (4) international students. For certain Health Science programs, "counties supporting the College" may include those in which clinical affiliates have contractual agreements with NVCC.
The Annandale Campus Health Technology programs are authorized to deny enrollment in health programs to any student who has been arrested and charged with a felony pertaining to controlled substances and who was adjudicated guilty, or adjudication was withheld because of placement in a pre-trial intervention program or who entered a plea of nolo contendere.
Students are advised that the Northern Virginia Community College Health Sciences programs have been designed to prepare students for direct entry to health careers. Some programs have articulated agreements with four-year colleges and universities that enable the partial or complete transfer of NVCC course work to four-year degree programs. Students who wish to consider such options should consult the appropriate program head early in the program of study.
*These programs require students to successfully complete NAS 150, Human Biology (4 credits) prior to admission. See program descriptions for specific details.
General Admission Requirements for Annandale Campus Health Technology Programs
Unless otherwise specified, applicants must meet all of the following requirements to be admitted to Health Technology certificate or two-year degree programs:

Students with pre-existing physical and/or mental conditions which might adversely affect their acceptance or performance in the program who do not self-disclose this information are subject to dismissal from the program and will not be allowed admission in any other Health Technology program.
8. Students with criminal convictions who do not self-disclose this information are subject to dismissal from the program and will not be allowed admission in any other Health Technology program.

11. Have completed a program information session and/or interview with the program head as required.
Responsibilities of Annandale Campus Health Technology Students
The following are responsibilities of students in all Health Technology programs:
1. To prepare students for the high ethical standards of the health professions, the College expects absolute academic integrity both in the classroom and in clinical practice. Therefore, cheating, attempting to cheat, plagiarizing, lying, stealing academic work which includes secured tests or related materials, submitting papers purchased or written by others, or failing to report an occurrence of academic dishonesty or any violation of this honor code may subject the student to the College's disciplinary procedures as defined in the NVCC Student Handbook.
2. Students in Health Technology programs incur a variety of additional expenses. These include, but are not limited to, the cost of uniforms, accessories, and travel to clinical assignments. Students are also responsible for state licensure and national accreditation application and testing fees.
3. A strict dress code is required in the clinical setting. Students may be dismissed if they fail to comply with this dress code.
4. The College reserves the right to require students to obtain and maintain at their own expense liability/malpractice insurance with a carrier authorized to transact such business in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Whether or not insurance appropriate to the program is required, students are encouraged to carry such insurance on their own.
5. Students are required to complete learning experiences at local hospitals and/or other community-based agencies. Students may be required to attend both day and/or evening clinical assignments.
6. Students must provide their own transportation to clinical assignments. Strict attendance is required at clinical sites.
7. Students may utilize the resources of the assigned clinical affiliate for emergency medical treatment for injuries or illness which may occur during the time period when students are assigned to the health care facility. The student is responsible for any expenses incurred for this treatment.
8. Students must comply with all clinical contract protocols including immunization requirements.
9. Students must keep their CPR certifications current each year, when required.
10. While enrolled in clinical courses, students may not replace or take the responsibility of "qualified" staff in affiliated facilities. However, after demonstrating proficiency, students may be permitted to perform specified procedures under careful supervision. Health Technology students may be employed in clinical facilities outside regular education hours provided that such work does not interfere with academic responsibilities. The work must be non-compulsory and subject to employee regulations. Any exception to this policy must have the approval of the Health Technology Division Chair.
11. Students are expected to demonstrate professional behavior consistent with standards associated with health care practitioners.
Continuation Requirements for Annandale Campus Health Technology Students
The following continuation requirements govern students in all Annandale Campus Health Technology programs:
1. All courses in the program major must be completed with a grade of C or better before taking the next course in the sequence and to satisfy graduation requirements, unless waived by the division chair upon the recommendation of the program head.
2. All courses in the major must be taken in the sequence prescribed in the NVCC Catalog, unless otherwise approved by the program head.
3. To pass a course students must successfully complete both the theoretical (classroom) and the didactic (clinical/lab) requirements.
4. Program faculty and clinical affiliates reserve the right to recommend, through appropriate channels, withdrawal of any student who exhibits unsafe performance or non-adherence to prescribed clinical affiliate policies and procedures.
5. Satisfactory physical and mental health must be maintained for continuance in the program. Applicants must be free of any physical and/or mental condition which might adversely affect their acceptance or performances in the program. The College reserves the right to require medical examinations to verify continuing compliance. Students with pre- existing physical and/or mental conditions which might adversely affect performance in the program who do not self-disclose this information are subject to dismissal from the program and will not be allowed admission in any other Health Technology program.
6. Students with criminal convictions who do not self-disclose this information are subject to dismissal from the program and will not be allowed admission in any other Health Technology program.
Program Re-Enrollment Requirements for Annandale Campus Health Technology Students
Any student who has voluntarily withdrawn or who has been withdrawn due to unsatisfactory academic or clinical performance may apply for re-admission the following academic year. Acceptance will be based upon space availability, successful fulfillment of any contingencies agreed to in writing at the time of withdrawal, and program head approval. An interview and medical examination may be required.

Two N.C. House seats serving Lenoir, Greene, Craven and Wayne counties are wide open, and four men are currently battling for those spots.
Neither seat is held by an incumbent. William Wainwright, who had represented District 12 since the early 1990s, passed away in July. Stephen LaRoque, who served District 10 from 2003 to 2006 and was re-elected to the seat in 2010, was defeated in the May primary. He resigned in the summer under the cloud of a federal indictment.
Democrat Jim "Babe" Hardison of Falling Creek is running against Republican John Bell of Wayne County to represent District 10, which includes portions of Lenoir, Greene, Wayne and Craven counties.
Republican Jim Dancy of the New Bern area is running against Democrat George Graham of Kinston for the District 12 seat, which serves Lenoir, Greene and Craven counties.
The four candidates spoke to The Free Press this week. They each gave an introduction, and then answered questions about their positions on the regional Pantego wind energy project, whether N.C. Education Lottery allocations to counties should be restored and how the state can best fund road improvements.
District 10
With pic: KFP1031_Jim Hardison mug
Jim 'Babe' Hardison — Democrat
Hardison is a native of Lenoir County who is retired from the Lenoir and Wayne County school systems, and currently sits on the Board of Trustees for Lenoir Community College.
He served as business manager, assistant and special assistant to the superintendent while working with the school districts. He currently works as an adjunct faculty member at Mt. Olive College and is a certified public accountant.
Hardison is married with two children and three grandchildren. He also served during the Vietnam War as a U.S. Navy Seabee.
"Eastern North Carolina is my home," he said. "I want to work for solutions that are important to the families in Eastern North Carolina, good jobs, and coupled with the good jobs is a good education system."
Hardison said he was against the proposed Pantego wind farm, which is planned for Beaufort County. State and local officials, including those in Kinston and Lenoir County, have opposed the project because of concerns the windmills would interfere with low-level flight training for F-15 fighter jets from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Wayne County and create a hazard in the flight path to the Dare County Bombing Range.
He said it could cost the local economy hundreds of millions of dollars if the units at Seymour Johnson must move.
"If we just look at it from dollars and cents, it looks we should support our military and do everything we can to support Seymour Johnson," he said.
County governments are struggling as the state cuts back the amount of N.C. Education Lottery dollars it allocates to local entities. Lenoir County's most recent Lottery allocation was cut in half.
Hardison said local governments should not have to "shoulder the responsibility" of helping the state balance its budget.
Regarding road maintenance funds, Hardison said the state's gasoline tax — which provides revenue for Powell Bill funds distributed to municipalities twice a year to help maintain streets — has already been capped, and he did not support creating toll roads.
"We need to explore other possibilities (for road funds)," he said.
Supporting the military, education and infrastructure were among Hardison's priorities, should he be elected to the General Assembly.
"Regardless of our political party affiliation, the citizens of North Carolina will have to live with the decisions that are made in Raleigh. I would ask that you consider voting for me and exercise the freedom that I fought for," he said.
John Bell — Republican
Bell is a native of Mt. Olive who currently works as manager of sales and business development at the N.C. Community Federal Credit Union of Goldsboro.
He is married and serves as the first vice chairman of the Wayne County Republican Party. He is also involved with the Boys and Girls Club of Wayne County, the Boy Scouts of America and other civic organizations.
"I believe that we need good quality leadership in Eastern North Carolina, and I believe with my background in management and community service I can be the good strong voice that Eastern North Carolina needs," he said.
Bell said he was against the wind energy project.
"It would be detrimental to Seymour Johnson, Cherry Point (Marine Corps Air Station) and other military bases on the East Coast," he explained.
He said he is working with community groups, military affairs committees, airport personnel and others within District 10 on the issue.
Bell said he was against the N.C. Education Lottery when it was created in 2005 to raise money for North Carolina schools.
Since the lottery is available, though, "the funds need to be used for what it was set up to do," he said.
"I don't believe those funds should be tapped into to help balance the budget for the state," he continued. "They need to be used for our schools."
Regarding raising more revenue for road maintenance, Bell said, "North Carolina does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem."
He said the state should use the money raised through the gas tax, and set aside in the Highway Trust Fund, for roads and roads only. The money should not be taken from the trust fund to balance the state's general fund.
Bell said he wanted to see Eastern North Carolina legislators come together regardless of party affiliation, and encouraged residents to serve on statewide boards and commissions to ensure the region has a strong voice in Raleigh.
"I believe that this is the most important election in our lifetimes," he said. "There are decisions that are going to affect our country, our state and our local governments, and in Eastern North Carolina, with the loss of representation due to redistricting, we need to be sure we have strong voices that are going to stand up for our morals and values here in Eastern North Carolina."
District 12
George Graham — Democrat
Graham is a Lenoir County native who is currently the chairman of the Lenoir County Board of Commissioners. He has served on the board since 1982.
He is retired from the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services — he has worked at the Caswell Developmental Center, the Dobbs Youth Development Center, and also at Lenoir Community College.
He is a trustee at St. Augustus AME Zion Church of Kinston, member of the North Carolina's Eastern Region Development Commission board and has been a member of the Kinston Rotary Club since 1980.
Graham is married with four children and three grandchildren.
"I've always been interested in state government and have learned a lot by working in county government," he said. "County government and state government are so closely related and I feel like it's a natural progression for me to work at the state level to help accomplish some of the things we need to accomplish locally."
Graham said he was concerned about the Pantego project's impact on the military.
"In Eastern North Carolina the military and military presence is extremely important," he said. "I would urge extreme caution with programs that could negatively impact the military."
Graham said he would work to restore lottery funds taken from counties, and said a "key thing" he wanted to work on in Raleigh would be "unfunded mandates" passed from the state to local governments.
Unfunded mandates include projects or initiatives required by the state, which give local governments the responsibility of carrying them out but no money to do so.
"To go in and take those (lottery) funds away from us places a tremendous burden on our local budgets, and we need to have those funds restored."
Graham said he wanted to look for methods of funding road projects other than the gas tax.
"One thing that I would not be in favor of is passing it down to local governments," he said of road maintenance. "That is not a good idea — counties cannot manage a road program for the state and should not have to."
Graham also encouraged support of local agriculture.
"We need to be supportive of the farmers and recognize that we have a very strong agricultural base and we need to continue to promote that base," he said in closing. "It is the No. 1 industry in the state and needs to be protected and pushed."
Jim Dancy — Republican
Dancy is a native of New Jersey, but has lived in Eastern North Carolina most of his adult life.
"You can't help where you were born, but you can certainly help where you live," he said.
Dancy and his wife, Melody, who live in River Bend near New Bern, are the owners of Dancy Community Management, which provides in-home care for senior citizens.
He also has three children and is past president of the River Bend GOP.
Dancy said he ran for the House after he and his family found themselves drawn into District 12 following the approval of the state's redistricting plan last year.
"After about a week of prayer and talk between my wife and myself, we decided it would be something that would be worth going after," he said.
Regarding the wind project, Dancy said he supported the military "100 percent," and said it would be an economic "disaster" for the region if the military were to move.
"As far as energy, I support research and application of alternative energy most certainly, but I also support looking into the offshore drilling — anything that would help us toward energy independence. It would be fantastic for everyone and would also create jobs," he said.
Dancy said lottery funds "should have never been for anything except education."
"Just like anything else that's been put into the general fund — these specific projects, we need to have some sort of a lock box," he said.
Dancy said the lack of road construction funds was another example of the state using money for something other than its intended purpose.
"We support roads but things like this always get tapped into to pay for something else," he explained. "We have got to learn to keep within our budget, live within our means."
Dancy noted the poverty rate in District 12 is about 40 percent. He proposed combating it by doing away with jail time for people convicted of non-violent crimes in order to keep families together and out of the cycle of poverty.
He also proposed supporting small business in any manner possible to create more jobs.
"I appreciate over the last year being able to build the relationships that I've been able to build in all three counties and I'm asking for the citizens' votes," Dancy said.

MrMook, I was about to say, "hmm, that looks like Brooklyn" and then I saw your sig. You in Williamsburg?
Technically I live in Greenpoint, but I spend a lot of time in Williamsburg, too.
A lot of these are totally unremarkable (trucks/jeeps) ... guess it all depends on where ya live!
That rolling shot is definitely the hottest Forrester I've ever seen.
don't ever see Alfa Milanos though. my fav. Italien car of all time (and I hate 4-doors ... )
(wait, forgot about the F355. So #2, for sure).
that had to have been another truck, if not a train ... or perhaps a bridge.
And this has to be an intentional decoy, right?
I can't imagine it doesn't get tagged at least once a day!
minus the front seat I just noticed .. and maybe not on a rainy day
Must evoke high school memories, cruising in a Comet ...

Man, I live in Bushwick and I think I've seen at least half of these cars around Greenpoint/Williamsburg.
Also, I saw that Citroen crusing over the Williamsburg Bridge into Manhattan a few months ago. I was like:
Yeah, one day I saw that little Citroen breezing down Reade St in TriBeCa. They really do drive it a lot. The interior looks pretty "used" as well, so it's no garage queen.
2014 VW GLI Autobahn/Nav/DSG - Two clutches. Two pedals. Four doors. No apologies.
great thread, thank you for sharing. Makes me wish i took pics for the 29 years i spent in New York City. So many cool/wierd cars down there.
Best thread in TCL for quite some time now.......
Two thumbs up! Would click again!
Cant believe how many older cars there are. You never see them in my area.
Nice little 500 on Work Equips:
Great thread!
Here's a couple of shots I took a few months ago about 4 blocks from my house. The damn thing was just sitting there in the middle of the street. I don't know if it had broken down or what.
Best thread in quite a while. Surprised to see that many older cars in the salt using NE.

haha, I've seen those guys with the Accord wagons working on them in the street. That's right by the Wburg bridge, right? They had them up on jacks and were messing around with things.
Also, there's a Mazda RX-3 on Flushing Ave. as you head east towards 495. It's red and looks pretty clean; parked right out front of an auto salvage yard.
Also, I live right down the block from a metal recyclers where old cars are dropped and discarded right in the street for them to lift with a front end loader and dump in the crusher. Two weeks ago I saw an early 80's 745 (the turbo one) in the middle of our street. This week? A Rolls Royce convertible. Rusted to pieces, but still...
Great thread! Such amazing variety of interesting cars.
This Mini actually looks good
Formerly known as the Phaeton Chix. No more Phaeton, buh bye MB, a couple of new Subarus and voila, new handle.
Isn't that a4 avant a members car?
We are giants, with stars at our fingertips

Really an excellent dark chocolate bar from Madagascar. I added a bar to my online order of cooking chocolate as a little treat after reading the Chocolate Trading Companys recommendations and I was not disappointed. For chocolate of this quality, it is very reasonably priced.

Written by Curt Popejoy on 11/06/2009
I hadn't really thought a whole lot about the Rookie of the Year crowns this season, until Michael Crabtree signed, because I figured he'd have an instant impact on the field and so far he has. But I started pondering who the best offensive and defensive rookies are that I've seen this year. First Offensive Rookie of the Year-The first couple of weeks, it looked like New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez was going to run away and hide with this award. Then the bottom fell out for the Jets and Sanchez and the team have really struggled. I predicted the Detroit Lions Matt Stafford before the season, but an injury has basically put him out of the running. He could rally I suppose, and I really think he's going to be a very good quarterback in the NFL. The guy that seems to be the leader at this point, and practically a lock for the award is Minnesota Vikings WR Percy Harvin. Even being dinged up a little and missing some action, you can't get through a Sportcenter and Vikes highlights without some big play by Harvin. Kinda nice having a HOF quarterback getting you the football.But I thought that just saying Harvin is my Offensive ROY is too easy. I decided to look deeper. Check out more rookies, especially offensive linemen and if it was still Harvin at the end of it all then so be it.First, I thought about value. One way to think about value is, if you remove this player from the lineup, how much worse is the team. If you think about it in those terms, there are a couple of names that come to mind for me quickly. LeSean McCoy, RB Philadelphia Eagles -Doesn't have huge stats, but his ability to come in and fill in for Brian Westbrook almost seemlessly is certainly an example of his value. Doesn't seem the Eagles offense misses a beat with Shady on the field and you couldn't say that in the past when Westbrook went down.Austin Collie, WR Indianapolis Colts-With injuries to Reggie Wayne and Anthony Gonzalez Collie was thrust into the starting lineup and he's really delivered. When you play in a high powered offense like the Colts there's little room for error by the receivers and Collie has produced on a level that I don't think anyone other than maybe his mom and Peyton Manning thought he could.Michael Oher, OT Baltimore Ravens-I've had the good fortune to see 4 Ravens game so far this season and Oher has been awesome. He hasn't been Ryan Clady as a rookie good, but compared to the other rookie offensive linemen I've seen, Oher has been the best. Jason Smith, OT St Louis Rams-The Rams season may be forgettable, but it's not Smith's fault. He's been easily the highlight of that team on offense other than Steven Jackson. It's unfortunate that Smith isn't getting more pub, because he's playing very well for a very bad team.Phil Loadholt, OT Minnesota Vikings-Loadholt slipped some in the draft because of concerns about his athleticism, but make no mistake, Phil is a road grader, and a perfect fit for the Vikings who want huge maulers on their line. Sebastian Vollmer, OT New England Patriots-Vollmer only has two starts so far this year, filling in for Matt Light, but he's played really well. And when you consider that he's backing up a guy like Light, him not starting shouldn't be a penalty to him. I realize he doesn't have enough reps for consideration, but he's worth a mention because he looks to be the future for the Patriots.In the final analysis it's Percy Harvin's award to lose I suppose, but I suspect by the end of the year, Crabtree's stats will be impressive and made moreso by the fact he's played in a limited number of games.On defense, things are much more competitive. Jairus Byrd, S BuffaloBills-Byrd has become quite the ballhawk for the Bills, with 7 interceptions. Voters love the stats so this has to put him at the head of the class.Brian Cushing, LB Houston Texans-Cushing has slid into a starting role for Houston and performed at a very high level. His pressence has been felt since day one and he's currently in the top ten in tackles in the entire NFL. He's probably the only real competition for Byrd at this point.James Laurinaitis, LB St Louis Rams-I think the impact of what Laurinaitis has done is getting lost because the Rams are just so bad. He's not as flashy as Cushing, and doesn't get the pub, but he's a rock solid player surrounded by little talent.Brian Orakpo, DE Washington Redskins-Orakpo's ability to be versitile has been a nice surprise for the Redskins, while at the same time probably limiting his statistics. Regardless he has 30 tackles and leads all rookies with 3.5 sacks. If he gets settled into one position, he could certainly give Byrd a run because his stats will certainly go up.Derek Cox, CB Jacksonville Jaguars-Cox is the darkhorse of the bunch primarily because there's very little good news coming out of Jacksonville, but Cox has been a very good player all year. He's putting up nice tackle numbers, doing well in coverage and has 2 interceptions. For the defense, it's pretty wide open. Byrd is the media favorite, but the team success of the Texans will help Cushing's case, and I can certainly see a surge in stats by Orakpo the second half of the season. And don't rule out a guy like Aaron Curry or Louis Delmas just blowing up on the back half and moving ahead of all these guys.

Head of county's system says conference provides education required of trustees
"I didn't think that running up travel expenses and hotel rooms was a requirement of getting educated," Wieckowski said. "We're asking the public to show fiscal restraint. The cities and counties and the state are providing less services, and people are paying more taxes. So you would think these decision-makers would reflect that."
An agenda for the conference shows most sessions end by early afternoon, leaving time for surfing, golfing, tanning or relaxing at one of the five swimming pools.
The conference website's tips to justify attendance suggest that trustees emphasize how the conference could help them "build a networking list" and identify ways to help "save your fund money."
The website contains a sample letter to help win approval for the travel, with statements such as, "Education is an ongoing obligation for all plan fiduciaries, and one I take very seriously" and "As a trustee for our pension fund, a great deal of responsibility rests on my shoulders."
Asked why pension officials need a tool kit to rationalize their trip to Honolulu, Hank Kim, executive director and counsel for the trade association organizing the national conference, said, "In hindsight, maybe 'justification' wasn't the best choice of words."
Critics of government spending — and some pension officials — say travel to exotic destinations by those overseeing pension funds is unseemly, especially as taxpayers watch public services diminish to offset growing pension costs.
"There's no such thing as a free trip to Waikiki," said Joe Nation, a professor of the practice of public policy at Stanford University, who specializes in public employee pensions. "Everybody loses; taxpayers will have to pay more, or beneficiaries will have to pay more, or a combination of the two."
Nation, a former Assembly Democrat from Marin, added that the pension managers "would have higher returns and their beneficiaries would be better off if they were to forgo this trip or travel close to home."
The conference in Hawaii was planned and booked in 2006, before the recent recession, Kim said. Still, organizers expect a strong turnout as trustees and money managers seek to gain an edge in a recovering economy.
"Being able to have discussions and network with pension officials from all over the country is one of the things that our members find most valuable," said Kim, whose organization represents nearly 560 public pension plans nationwide.
Richard Cabral, a Contra Costa County board member who is going, said he doesn't think current and future retirees view his travel as a boondoggle.
"The real big value is interacting with other trustees. It helps to get different points of view," said Cabral, who also serves as president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO Local 512, a union that represents 300 employees in Contra Costa County.
Contra Costa County pension trustee John Gioia, who is not attending, questioned his agency's plan to send four board members and an alternate.
"Pension trustees should exercise self-discipline and consider public perception in deciding which conferences to attend," said Gioia, also a county supervisor.
Sessions are to include "Avoiding a Front Page Scandal at Your Pension Fund: Learning by Example," and "How Do We Transform the Way People Think, Talk and Act about Pensions?"

Today is World Day for Animals in Laboratories; an international event to remember the millions of animals who suffer and die in laboratories around the world. We estimate that each year around 115 million animals are used in experiments around the world. This represents a shocking amount of suffering.
Animal experimentation is a global multi-million pound industry. It is an industry without borders, so it's important that our campaigns are too. Cruelty Free International, set up by the BUAV, is the global voice for animals who continue to suffer and die in the name of beauty. We are a major force in exposing the international trade in primates for research. In Europe, the BUAV leads and provides the secretariat for the European Coalition to End Animal Experiments (ECEAE) and we are also an active member of a number of international coalitions working to promote non-animal alternatives and end animal experiments.
As well as campaigning internationally to achieve a world where nobody wants or believes we need to experiment on animals, the BUAV's work also helps to make a difference for individual animals used in research.
Here in the UK, the BUAV Our Best Friends campaign to end the use of cats and dogs in research has received widespread media coverage and support. We are delighted that our campaign has received the endorsement of many celebrities including Paul O'Grady, Ricky Gervais, Miranda Richardson, Jilly Cooper, Chris Packham, Kirsty Gallacher and Greg Rutherford among others.
Our most recent investigation – Born to Die – has revealed how one UK laboratory, MSD Animal Health, is routinely killing dogs who are 'no longer required'. We know from other investigations carried out by the BUAV that this also happens to other animals in other laboratories and breeding centres.
During our investigation, we were able to save the lives of three of these dogs and 33 chickens. All these animals have now been placed in secure, loving homes and will never need fear for their life again. Puppy, Oliver, was from a litter of seven but sadly his siblings and mother were all killed and never experienced freedom or the joys of a loving family.
This World Day for Animals in Laboratories, we are reiterating our call for an end to cruel and outdated animal tests while also appealing to the Home Office to make it a mandatory requirement for laboratories to find homes for dogs, cats and other animals 'no longer required' where possible. We believe that steps can be made to change the lives of individual animals in laboratories, while we campaign for freedom for them all.
Oliver, Bonnie and Billie were lucky enough to make it to this World Day for Animals in Laboratories but, sadly, for thousands of others it is a very different, and tragic, fate.
Please help us change that fate today.
Thank you for your continued support for our work and for everything you do for the animals.
Until next time…….

the sample size of these occurrences (on all population comparisons) are too small to make broad and generalist judgements. Especially when the vast majority show no signs of this.
They are solely attributed to the person and people involved, and not to a gender as a whole. judgements and views must solely be aimed at those within the event, not any groups they happen to be categorized under.
I also think this topic has run the course of its material.

Wright Aeronautical R-3350-23 Cyclone 18
The Wright R-3350 was one of the most powerful radial engines produced by the United States and was based earlier Cyclone engines and was chosen as the powerplant for the Boeing B-29.
Work on the engine began in January, 1936 and was first was tested in May, 1937. It was similar in design to the company's R-2500 14-cylinder radial. It shared the same bore and stroke but added two more cylinders per row for additional displacement. A three-piece forged alumium (later changed to steel) crankcase, cast heads and a magnesium supercharger case reduced weight.
Approximately 33,000 engines were built by Wright Aeronautical and Chrysler's Dodge Division. More R-335023/23A engines were built than any other R-3350 model.
This engine is located in the B-29 Hangar.

As a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, private sector job growth saw a steep drop, while public sector jobs continued to increase. Government employment increased by 590,000 in 2009, while the private sector lost nearly 8 million jobs since the beginning of the recession. After the passage of the Recovery Act, these trends continued: the private sector lost an additional 2.7 million jobs, or 2.5% of total private employment, while state and federal governments continued to grow, having added an additional 400,000 jobs.[2]
Weatherization program
The stimulus program provided money for low-income people to make their homes more energy-efficient. The Weatherization Assistance Program overwhelmed federal and state agencies, bottling up billions of dollars in funding and halting the weatherization of homes for almost a year.[3]
In Texas, state inspections of a $22 million weatherization contract in Houston found workmanship flaws, administrative overhead running at about 50 percent (when the legal limit was five percent) and missing documentation. The weatherization work was conducted in February and March 2010.[4]
On November 16, 2009, many errors were found in the $747 billion plan that showed the plan set aside money for districts that did not exist. According to Recovery.gov, the plan outlined that its funds would go to 884 congressional districts, though there are only 435.[5][6]
The administrators at Recovery.gov eventually consolidated the fictitious congressional districts into "unassigned congressional districts."[7]
The ARRA website created four phantom districts in Alabama.[8]
In Alaska, the ARRA sent money to 13 fictitious districts, though it only had one congressional district.[9]
American Samoa
Though American Samoa had only an at-large, non-voting delegate, the ARRA sent stimulus funds to 3 non-existent Districts.[10]
ARRA sent up to $84 million to 14 phantom districts in Arizona.[11]
Arkansas' 6th District received more than $360,000 from the stimulus package, according to ARRA's tracking website. However that district had not existed since 1963. In total, money was sent to nine fake districts.[12]
The ARRA website claimed to have to created jobs in nine congressional districts in California that did not exist.[13]
Colorado appeared to have 10 extra districts, according to where ARRA money went, including District 00, which received over $10 million.[14]
Connecticut's eight phantom districts, according to the ARRA website, had explosive job growth in the fictitious 42nd District. There were 25 jobs created, despite receiving no stimulus dollars.[15]
Delaware's congressional representation rose by four, according to ARRA's tracking website, as $10 million dollars was pumped into four congressional districts that did not exist.[16]
According to the ARRA website, the stimulus package "created or saved" more than 100 jobs in six Florida districts that did not exist.[17]
Millions of dollars in stimulus funds were disbursed among seven congressional districts in Georgia that did not exist, according to recovery.gov.[18]
Though Guam only had one non-voting delegate, the ARRA website stated that it sent nearly $221 million to six phantom districts.[19]
The ARRA contributed $2,284,000 to Hawaii in federal stimulus funds for the 11the Congressional District, $40,903,941 million for the 15th Congressional district, $1,651,811 for the "00" Congressional district and $799,656 in the 99th Congressional District, which created a combined "3.4" jobs or $13,423,355 per job. Hawaii had just two congressional districts.
The federal website (dead link) reported that those districts received $592,211,484 million and $174,075,308 respectively having created combined total of 1,541.5 jobs.[20]
The Recovery.gov website overshot the number of congressional districts in Idaho by ten. The State's 5th District received $1.2 million, though it did not exist.[21]
The federal stimulus website sent money to six phantom Districts in Illinois. In fact, nearly $500,000 was directed towards the 20th District, which ceased to exist after the 2000 census.[22]
Indiana gained five fictitious congressional districts through the ARRA website. The 18th District, for example, was given $2.2 million. Indiana's population would have had to double, in order to have 18 districts.[23]
More than $10.5 million in stimulus funds were distributed to eight congressional districts in Iowa that did not exist, according to the ARRA website.[24]
The ARRA website created four fictional districts, creating or saving 5,934.8 or 5,940.37 jobs in Kansas. The jobs included ten in the 9th Congressional District, nine jobs in the 8th District, three in the 6th District and two in the 14th. The 00, 99th, 5th, 76th, 68th and 36th Districts saw no job creation. Kansas only had four congressional districts.[25]
The ARRA tracking website sent money to nine non-existent Districts in Kentucky. According to Recovery.gov, Kentucky's 7th District received more than $31 million from the stimulus package, despite being eliminated in the 1990 census.[26]
In addition to the eight non-existent districts the ARRA website sent money to in Louisiana, the state's 8th Congressional District reportedly grew by more than 300 job through the stimulus package. However, the 8th District had not existed since 1990.[27]
Maine more than doubled its number of congressional districts, having added three more to its existing two, according to the ARRA tracking website.[28]
The stimulus package distributed millions of dollars to 15 Maryland congressional districts that did not exist, according to ARRA's website. The state had only eight districts.[29]

The ARRA website created 10 non-existing districts in Michigan, and awarded them $5,387,945 to "create/save" 49.5 jobs.[31]
The ARRA website listed the Michigan capital, Lansing, ZIP code as having received $1,217,275,548 and creating 17,966.9 jobs. The website credited Michigan with "creating/saving" 22,514 total jobs, meaning Lansing accounted for almost 80 percent of the jobs "created" statewide.
The ARRA website created 11 new congressional districts in Minnesota, adding to its existing eight districts. The website lists Minnesota as having a total of 19 congressional districts. Altogether, the eleven extra congressional districts posted received more than $7 million in stimulus spending, creating or saving about 50 jobs.[32]
The stimulus provided nearly $1 million to Mississippi's 5th District, which was eliminated following the 2000 census. In total, stimulus funds were sent to six fictitious Mississippi districts.[33]
Missouri's 14th District, eliminated after the 1930 census, was set to receive $600,000 in stimulus money, according to the ARRA website. It was joined by a handful of other non-existent districts to receive stimulus dollars, totaling $928,566 to create/sustain 8.5 jobs.[34]
Though Montana only had one congressional district, the ARRA website showed that it gave funds to 13 districts. The twelve fictional Districts received $292,383,105 in funds to "create/save" a total of 1214.2 jobs.[35]
Nebraska had only three congressional districts, but the ARRA allotted $4,607,329 in funds for 15 districts, funding a total of 39.8 jobs.[36]

New Hampshire
The ARRA website invented three or four more congressional districts in New Hampshire, creating 2,879.1 jobs in these non-existent Districts (2,873.9 of which were in the 00 Congressional District, though one does not exist), using $197,167,473.[38]
New Jersey
New Jersey's number of congressional districts grew from 13 to 31, according ARRA's website. Millions of stimulus dollars were distributed to 18 Garden State districts that did not exist, totaling $25,630,567 to "create/save" 574.6 jobs.[39]
New Mexico
The first of the errors was uncovered in New Mexico, were that there were only 3 congressional districts in the state, while the ARRA website reported that $26,462,307 in funds would go to 10 fictional districts to "create/save" at total of 61.5 jobs.[40]
New York
New York had 29 Congressional Districts, but its 00 District produced 31 jobs after taking home $3.8 million in stimulus funds. District 00 typically stands for the population of a whole state, when the state has only enough population to have an at-large representative. In total, the ARRA website attributed 11 extra, non-existent districts to New York and gave them a total of $12,025,926 to "create/save" 128.2 jobs.[41]
North Carolina
North Carolina distributed more than $5.7 million in federal stimulus money to six congressional districts that did not exist, according to ARRA's website.
The labels for the districts included 00 and 91.[42]
North Dakota
The ARRA website reports that more than $2 million was given to the 99th District of North Dakota, a state that has only one congressional district. In order to qualify for 99 districts, North Dakota would needed a population of about 60 million people, almost 24 million more people than California had at the time. The non-existent districts received $119,260,169 to "create/save" 264.2 jobs.[43]
Northern Mariana Islands
The ARRA website awarded the Northern Mariana Islands five phantom congressional districts, along with $44 million in stimulus funds.[44]
ARRA's website overestimated Ohio's congressional districts by 10. Congressional District 00 and 99 were two of ten new congressional districts listed as receiving federal stimulus dollars this year. Eight of those districts received money, but did not create any jobs.[45]
Oklahoma had five congressional districts, yet ARRA gave $1 million to its 6th District. The 6th District was eliminated by the 2000 census.
The state's non-existent 51st District received $10.6 million in stimulus funds. In all, the phantom districts accrued more than $19 million, used to create or save 15 jobs. This amounted to nearly $1.3 million per job.[46]
According to the ARRA website, Oregon's congressional districts almost tripled from 5 to 14, including a non-existent District 00, which took home nearly $3.4 million in stimulus funds. The website shows that $4,932,024 went to fictional districts to create/sustain 15.1 jobs.[47]
The ARRA website reported that nearly $2 million was directed towards Pennsylvania's 21st District, which ceased to exist after the 2000 census. Almost $1.5 million was sent to another retired district, the 23rd, which was eliminated after the 1990 census.
There were $12.6 million distributed to six districts, which did not exist.[48]
Puerto Rico
Recovery.gov listed millions of dollars awarded to "congressional districts" bearing such distinctions as District 00, 99 and simply "congressional district" in Puerto Rico, though the territory had one non-voting, Congressional delegate.
Rhode Island
According to the ARRA website, Rhode Island's fictitious 86th Congressional District saw nearly 60 new jobs develop in their community with the help of more than $10 million in stimulus funds. However, Rhode Island has only two congressional districts. In total, $11,917,875 went to save or create 57.9 jobs in non-existent districts in Rhode Island.[49]
South Carolina
ARRA's website shows that more than $27 million in funds went to the 7th District of South Carolina, which had not existed since the Great Depression. The seven phantom districts have received a total of $40,729,993 to create or save 52.4 jobs.[50]
South Dakota
More than $288 million in stimulus money went to phantom districts in South Dakota to "create or save" 862 jobs, according to the ARRA tracking website. About $280 million of those funds were locked in a district that was eliminated in the 1980 census. South Dakota had only one congressional district, represented by an at-large representative.[51]
A non-existent District in Tennessee received nearly $41 million in stimulus funds and used that money to produce zero jobs, according to Recovery.gov. District 00 received all but $13 million that was sent to the seven phantom districts in the state, but produced fewer jobs than the non-existent 11th District, which created or saved three jobs using $39,000, according to the site.
The 29th District, also non-existent, received the next largest sum of money, using nearly $10 million to create 20 jobs.[52]
The ARRA website reported that the stimulus package sent more than $14.7 million to seven congressional districts in Texas that did not exist. Two fictitious districts combined to receive $12.5 million of that sum, District 52 was given nearly $9 million and District 58 received nearly $3.7 million.
District 58 claimed to create or save 45 jobs, while District 52 did not produce any jobs, despite more than twice the amount of funding.[53]
The stimulus package sent nearly $1.7 million to four congressional districts in Utah that did not exist, according to the ARRA tracking website. Utah had only three congressional districts, but the majority of the stimulus money was distributed to two non-existent districts. District 4 was given more than $1.1 million and District 00, a label reserved for states with only one congressman, received nearly $540,000.
District 00 claimed to create or save 26 jobs, while District 4 did not produce any jobs, despite twice the amount of funding.[54]
According to the ARRA website, the stimulus package sent almost $4.6 million to six congressional districts in Vermont and created 7.5 jobs. An additional $368 million was sent to two other districts in the state. However, Vermont had only District 00 and was represented by one representative. That district received nearly $320 million less than the non-existent District 1. Vermont's fake districts received a total of $398,601,110 to "create/sustain" 1,909.2 jobs.[55]
Virginia's 12th District was written off at the start of the Civil War, but it received more than $2 million, according to ARRA's website.
The ARRA website overshot the number of Washington congressional districts by nine. Washington's 39th Congressional District received over $300,000 in federal stimulus funds without a single job created.[56]
Washington, D.C
As of the passage of the ARRA, Washington, D.C. was a non-voting, single district, represented by Eleanor Holmes Norton. However, the ARRA website allocated money to many districts, including Congressional District 99.
The government-run website noted that DC's 99th District received $136,717,784 in stimulus which created 41.9 jobs. The 98th congressional district received $23,258,609 and created 22 jobs.
If the city was sliced into 99 districts, there would have been a congressional district every two-thirds of a square mile.[57]
West Virginia
The ARRA website added eight non-existent congressional districts in West Virginia, allotting $2,387,321 to eight fictional congressional districts: the 54th, 9th, 4th, 6th, 12th, 13th and 00, "creating/saving" a total of 5 jobs.[58]
Recovery.gov shows it sent $2,209,169 to six districts in Wisconsin that did not exist: the 00th, 9th, 10th, 14th, 39th and 55th Congressional Districts.[59]
According to the ARRA website, the stimulus package sent almost $1.5 million to five congressional districts in Wyoming and created 6.3 jobs. An additional $471 million was sent to two other districts in the state. However, Wyoming had only one district, District 00. The at-large district received just under $30 million, which was $410 million less than District 1, a non-existent district. In total, $442,318,511 went to six fictional districts to "create/save" 785.3 jobs.[60]
Information about the initial release of funds was provided on the U.S. Department of Education website. It outlined each state's share.
An example of the Recovery Act's effect on the public school system in the United States was that, in order to receive the money, states were obligated to restore school funding for the 2009-10 school year back to the levels provided in the 2005-06 school year. The Act outlined that if states could not do that, as Florida said it could not, then they needed to apply for a waiver and show that state education funding for the upcoming year was the same or more as the current school year, percentage wise.
The U.S. Department of Education's website provided the budget news concerning the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act as well as a slideshow explaining how money was allocated to the states from the act.
The following were the school district allocations of Recovery Act funds for each state:
- Alabama

Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, a significant amount of money was spent on improving roads. The following chart lists 74 counties in 24 states, with the corresponding miles of roadway deemed unacceptable in each county, and the amount of money that was allocated from the bill to be spent on road repair in each county.[61]
Funding for roads under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan was criticized on grounds that the funds were unfairly distributed. According to one news report from 2009, "Half of the nation's worst roads are in counties that will only get about 20% of the stimulus money allocated by state and federal officials for street repairs."[62]
The allegedly unfair allocation of funds was due in large part to the nature of the stimulus package; its aim was to boost the economy as quickly as possible. In the case of the worst roads in the nation, often they were considered longer term projects. In addition, there often was not enough funds for the worst roads.[63]
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan opened a program with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) called the [Neighborhood Stabilization Program] (NSP) wherein funds are allotted to areas of the county hit hardest by the recession. Cities use the funds to buy foreclosed homes, fix them up and sell them to low income buyers. Most of the homes will be sold back to buyers with incomes at least 120 percent under the median income for the area, but 25 percent of the buyers must have an income of 50 percent of the median in the area. The plan (dead link) designates five eligible uses: establishment of financing mechanisms for purchase of foreclosed homes, purchase and rehabilitation of abandoned or foreclosed homes, land banking of foreclosed homes, demolition of blighted structures, and redevelopment of vacant or demolished property.
However, as of October 2009, a year after the funds were awarded, cities like Denver, Colorado had not spent their funds. Experts said one of the factors was an overload of bureaucracy from the city, state and federal levels.
Ten of the big banks that received aid last fell under the Treasury Department's Troubled Assets Relief Program, known as TARP, repaid a total $68 billion in bailout funds in July 2009. They were: American Express Co., Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Bank of New York Mellon Corp., U.S. Bancorp, Northern Trust Corp., State Street Corp., BB&T Corp. and Capital One Financial Corp.[64]
- See also: Taxpayer-funded lobbying
Money received through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan, or the stimulus package, by private entities has been spent to lobby.[65][66] The eight large banks that first received bailout funds back in October spent more than $12.4 million in the first half of 2009,[67] and more than $20 million if including car companies.[68] Some examples include:
Bank of America Corp.: Received $45 billion, spent $800,000 in the April-June quarter on lobbying, (up from $660,000 in the first quarter).[64]
Citigroup Inc.: Got $45 billion in bailout funds, upped its lobbying spending to $1.7 million in the second quarter (from nearly $1.3 million in the January-March period).[64]
JPMorgan Chase: Repayed $25 billion it received. It spent nearly $1.8 million on lobbying in the latest quarter (up from $1.3 million in the first quarter).[64]
Goldman Sachs Group Inc.: Goldman pared back its lobbying outlays in the quarter to $630,000 (from $670,000 in the first quarter).[64]
Morgan Stanley:' Lobbying expenditures jumped to $830,000 (from $540,000 in the first three months of the year).[64]
General Motors: Spent about $2.8 million on lobbying Congress and the federal government, about the same as in the first quarter.[64]
State transparency
Nationwide transparency
Stimulus Watch 2.0 launched, improving the original Stimulus Watch website, which featured proposed stimulus projects taken from the U.S. Conference of Mayors survey. The new version included actual stimulus spending in users' neighborhoods, the data for which came from the official recipient reports from Recovery.gov. Users were able search for contracts and grants awards by state and city, by awarding agency or by recipient.[69]
Accountability issues
In hundreds of cases, recipients of stimulus funds ignored the law the would require them to report how they spent it.
"Government owes it to its citizens to share how tax dollars are spent. When it is left to journalists, grant recipients and ordinary citizens to report the truth – but not government — transparency suffers. And that is what has happened with this "stimulus" program. The burden of reporting has fallen on those receiving the money – not those giving it out," said Michael Barnhart, president of Sunshine Review.
The Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity's investigation in November 2009, found that recipients of millions in tax dollars filled out forms incorrectly – often using incorrect zip codes or congressional districts. This meant false information was shared with the public.
Federal government documents indicate that for the first quarter of 2010, there were nearly 700 instances where "prime" recipients failed to provide their stimulus funding reports by an April 2010 deadline.[70]

Having made her return to action in the Russian League last weekend, veteran star Maria Stepanova was back on a EuroLeague Women duty once again as UMMC Ekaterinburg swept their way to a 101-70 Group C success at Novi Zagreb.
The tournament favourites racked up the highest tally of the competition so far this season and became the first to register a three-digit score in a one-sided encounter, to remain unbeaten after seven games.
But, it will be the handful of minutes for Stepanova which will bring most cheer for the orange army of Ekat fans back home, many of whom watched in utter dismay in March of this year when she sustained an ACL injury at the Final Eight in Istanbul.
The margin of victory could probably have been even greater for the Russian side had they not eased up during the closing stages although it was to be expected after giving another awesome display of their power and depth.
Anete Jekabsone and Diana Taurasi impressed in the backcourt as they sunk eight triples between them, with the latter also handing out seven assists.
Whilst in the paint, Candace Parker and Sandrine Gruda were certainly on song and went 12-of-16 under the basket to provide yet more headaches for the home side.
Perhaps mindful of their distinctly lacklustre offering against Novi Zagreb earlier in the campaign, this time around there was no room for any criticism as Ekat opened up with a 30-17 first quarter to lay the tone and that pattern continued.
Mirna Mazic had 17 points and eight rebounds in defeat.
UMMC head coach Olaf Lange:"I'm much happier than after the first game we played against Novi Zagreb. The first time we weren't prepared for the zone. We prepared this time and we showed up for this game. We were solid. This is the strongest team I have coached, much like a WNBA team."
UMMC player Anete Jekabsone:"Pretty easy game for us. In the beginning they played good defense. Afterwards we picked up and the end result represents what the game looked like."
Novi Zagreb head coach Vladimir Ivankovic:"We played well for 17 minutes of the game. It was tough after that. Nothing we didn't expect though, since we expected nothing less from a team such as UMMC Ekaterinburg. The next four rounds are very crucial for us. We are hoping to win some games and to make it to the next round. If that doesn't happen - it won't be a tragedy."
Novi Zagreb Leilani Mitchel:"We didn't play all that well. There were too many mistakes made. UMMC is one of the best teams in the world. We are getting better. We just need to pick up the improvement phase since we are playing important games after New Year's."

Hello everybody,
So I just got a confirmation from my Family History Library, that my LDS microfilm has arrived.
So I have an idea:
If anyone would like me to find a birth record for an ancestor, born in Cassino from 1885-1897, I will look up the birth record for your ancestors and provide you with genealogical information located on that record, such as parents name, POB,DOB, date of marriage etc.
I will take these requests on a first-come-first-serve basis. Please leave any details you have about your ancestor. I would really appreciate the name of your ancestor, and if the date of birth is not known, an approximate date of birth or an approximate year of birth.
I will be visiting the FHC library on Saturday, Sept 29th 2012. So please PM me with the details of ancestor, before this date.
Do not worry if you miss this date, as I will be visiting the FHC library more than once,as the return date of the microfilm is December 6th 2012, so you can still submit your details of your ancestor to be researched before this date.
Please do not worry if I do not get back to you immediately, as I am probably busy, but will get back to you eventually.
I remind you that this is just an idea I have, because i ordered this microfilm to find info on my GGF, but it seems wasted to not be able to help others, as I am only looking for one record, and it would also be a waste of money.
If you do not like this idea, I will scrap it.

Detecting Design in Biological Systems
How can we distinguish events due to intelligent causes from events due to undirected natural causes? William Dembski has been grappling with this problem since his graduate work in mathematics at the University of Chicago in the 1980s. In The Design Inference: Eliminating Chance Through Small Probabilities, published by Cambridge University press in 1998, Dembski presented a formal, mathematical method for identifying intelligent design. In later works he applied his methodology to biology, focusing on the adequacy of theories of evolution to account for the complexity and information content of living systems.
Dembski's talk at the Athenaeum, second in a three-part series on intelligent design sponsored by the Salvatori Center, will critique the idea that natural selection, the key mechanism of theories of Darwinian evolution, acts as all information ratchet that gradually accumulates the information that organisms need to acquire novel adaptations. He maintains that this gives natural selection too much credit, and that it is unequipped to handle the innovative problems that biological systems have solved in the course of natural history. Dembski's work has placed him at the center of the growing debate on Darwinism and intelligent design and its broad implications for philosophy and theology, which he addressed in Intelligent Design: The Bridge Between Science and Theology, published in 2002.
A mathematician and philosopher, William Dembski is associate research professor in the conceptual foundations of science at Baylor University and a senior fellow with Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture in Seattle. He is also the executive director of the International Society for Complexity, Information, and Design (www.iscid.org). His graduate degrees include an M.S. in statistics and a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Illinois at Chicago, a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Chicago, and a master of divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary. He is currently coediting a book with Michael Ruse for Cambridge University Press titled Debating Design: From Darwin to DNA (2004).
The third and final lecture in this series, "Intelligent Design: Not Ready for Prime Time or Why Scientists Reject Intelligent Design," will be presented by Eugenie Scott, Executive Director of the National Center for Science Education, on Monday, March 8.
