Students holding a BS, BA, or MS degree in any field of science are encouraged to apply to the PhD program. Financial support is guaranteed for all PhD students who enroll.
Annual Review
PhD students are required to review their progress with their academic adviser each year. The student should update the Annual Review Form prior to meeting with his/her adviser to discuss his/her academic and professional progress. The Annual Review Form must be completed and submitted to the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies prior to the last day of classes of Winter term. Students should contact the Graduate Program Office for a blank form.
Course Requirements
Specific Course Requirements for the PhD degree are a minimum of 24 credits at the graduate level of which at least 22 must be in courses (including seminars). Of these 22, at least 12 credits must be in Earth and Environmental Sciences, no more than 4 credits may be in seminars, and at least 4 must be in cognate courses. Cognate courses are those offered by other academic units that broaden expertise in areas related to the student's research; Rackham requires a minimum grade of B- for cognate courses. EARTH 599 and other independent study courses are excluded from the 12 credits required in Earth and Environmental Sciences courses, but may be used in partial fulfillment of the remaining non-cognate credit requirements. Research credits (EARTH 990, 995) may be used in partial fulfillment of these requirements but are excluded from the 22 credits of coursework.
The Department may allow certain students to depart from the requirements of a normal PhD program in order that they may take advantage of special cognate science interests and background. However, in order for a student to qualify for such an exception, he/she must prepare an acceptable plan, which is reviewed and approved by the student's advisor and the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies.
Rackham Graduate School requires PhD students to complete 18 credits of non-research coursework before advancing to candidacy. As of Fall 2010, Rackham also requires PhD students to be continuously enrolled.
Grade and GPA Requirements
Rackham policy dictates that graduate students may not take courses pass/fail, but can elect to take a course S/U or Visit/Audit. Credit is only given for courses in which a grade of C- or higher has been received. Cognate credit is only given for a course in which a grade of B- or higher has been earned. The minimum required Rackham cumulative grade point average is B (3.00 on a 4.00 point scale). Complete information about grading may be found on the Rackham Academic Policies website, Section 4.5: http://www.rackham.umich.edu/current-students/policies/academic-policies/section4#45
Preliminary Examination
The purpose of the Preliminary Examination is to determine the adequacy of the applicant's abilities and background knowledge, and his/her potential to complete a PhD degree. The PhD Preliminary Examination includes written and oral components. The written component of the exam focuses on background knowledge across the Earth and environmental sciences, and the oral component focuses on the student's potential to carry out the research described in an extended abstract written and submitted by the candidate.
Each student's preliminary examination committee will consist of five U-M faculty members, of whom at least four must be tenure-track or tenured faculty with an appointment in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, and at least one from the standing Examination Committee. The student's committee must be approved by his/her advisor and by the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies. Students are urged to seek guidance in preparation for this examination from the committee members.
The written portion of the examination consists of questions from each of the student's examination committee members. The written exam will be not more than four hours and will take place on or about the fifth Saturday following the start of the semester in which the student is required to take the preliminary examination. The exact date, time, and place of the written examination will be announced at the beginning of each semester.
After successful completion of the written part, the student is responsible for scheduling the oral part of the examination with the his/her committee members. The oral examination must be completed in the same semester as the written exam, and students are encouraged to make arrangements for the oral examination as early as possible. The oral examination will begin with a presentation by the candidate of his/her dissertation research topic, not to exceed 15 minutes in length. The student will present the examining committee with an extended abstract up to two pages in length on this topic one week prior to the exam. The presentation will be followed by an open discussion between the examining committee and the candidate based on, but not necessarily limited to, the research presentation. The oral prelim exam is typically three hours.
Upon completion of the preliminary examination, the chair of the Preliminary Examination Committee will submit a written report evaluating the examination and reporting whether the student passed, failed, or passed with stated conditions. This report will be directed to the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies, who will inform the Graduate School if the examination was passed. If the student fails any portion of the examination, the Committee must recommend if and when the student will be permitted to take a second examination. If a second examination is granted, it must be taken in the subsequent academic semester and with the understanding that failure of any portion of the examination typically results in immediate termination from the graduate program.
Students entering the PhD program with a BS/BA will take the Preliminary Examination no later than the fourth semester in residence. Students who enter the PhD program with an MS from another institution or academic discipline will take the Preliminary Examination no later than the second semester in residence. Students who have received a MS from this Department and who wish to continue toward the PhD degree, will take the Preliminary Examination no later than the fourth semester in residence.
Candidate Status
Candidacy requirements are listed in detail on Rackham's Academic Policies web site. The Graduate Coordinator will submit the Recommendation for Candidacy Form to Rackham Graduate School.
Students will be advanced to candidacy upon the successful completion of requisite course work and the written and oral portions of their Preliminary Examination. Students entering with a BS/BA are expected to achieve candidacy before the end of their fourth term in residence. Students entering with an MS from another institution are expected to achieve candidacy before the end of their second term in residence. Rackham Graduate School requires that students complete at least 18 hours of non-research graduate credit on the Ann Arbor campus.
Dissertation Committee
Before the first day of classes of the term following the successful completion of the Preliminary Examination, a Dissertation Committee will be nominated in consultation with the student and the potential Dissertation Committee Chair. The chair of the committee must be a tenure-track faculty member, but a research scientist may serve as co-chair. The Committee must have at least four members (however five is recommended), and at least two of these must be tenure-track or tenured faculty with their primary appointment in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. One member must be from outside the Department and must be a regular member of the Graduate Faculty in a doctoral program accepted by the Rackham Graduate School. This cognate member must hold an appointment in a collateral or related field.
The student must contact the Department Graduate Program Office about completing the Dissertation Committee Form. The Graduate Coordinator will submit the Dissertation Committee Form to Rackham Graduate School once the committee list has been approved by the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies.
Annual Dissertation Committee Meeting
The Dissertation Committee shall meet with the student at least once each academic year before the end of Winter semester to review his/her progress. This meeting will begin with an oral presentation by the student on his/her dissertation progress. The student will present the committee with a CV one week prior to the meeting. The presentation will be followed by a discussion between the committee and the student on his/her progress.
Following this meeting, written feedback about the student's performance, expected defense date, and a list of committee members who attended the meeting must be sent both to the student and the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies.
Dissertation Format Requirements
Rackham Graduate school dissertation format requirements may be found on Rackham's website.
Dissertation Defense Requirements
The Rackham Graduate school sets dissertation defense requirements. Doctoral degree deadlines are slightly different for every term and may be found on Rackham's website. Students should consult with the Department Graduate Program Coordinator early in their final term about scheduling the dissertation defense and final requirements.
Consult Rackham's Doctoral Students website for PhD requirements, such as candidacy, cognates, and dissertation defense. See also the Doctoral Steps on Rackham's website.

Eat Drink Think Sing
That humans eat and drink is the basis to the physical level in our being. That humans think (feel and perceive) adds to the bodily being with the ability to decide. As a result, as climax, humans could sing, giving expression to their thinking. Eating, drinking, thinking and singing is thus a basic combination that demonstrates the organic simplicity and greatness of being human.

Turbulence 3
8 Mar 2014
AboutThe value of any situation is dictated by an infinite number of factors beyond an individual's control. Affirming an object, action or event with a static value necessarily defines it as ordinary. Robertas Narkus describes his practice as âmanagement of chance in an economy of circumstance'. He brings together the ordinary and absurd to explore notions of uncertainty, chance and symbolic capital through unexpected collaborations. In Turbulence 3, Narkus proposes to lead his audience to a position beyond description. The event is curated by Juste Kostikovaite. Turbulence 3 - Captain! We are late because all clocks show the percentage of the fat in the milk you just poured into your coffee. But, you know, the problem with the milk is that once you pour it into coffee you can never unmix it. That's the law. And don't try to blame anyone for that. It's molecules and their movements that are responsible for it. - Forget about it. Do I have to remind you that we're part of an isolated system; no matter how high the definition or how large the resolution, there are still decisions to make. We're still alive. But there is a limited number of possible movements, before the sun reaches âsuperposition', before things get really turbulent again. -I agree. Can you see these islands formed from trash down there? Rotating slowly in a spiral, forming new continents, new territories for new life, better art, more confidence, softer skin. Robertas Narkus (b. 1983) lives in Vilnius and Amsterdam. He is currently pursuing a masters' degree at the Sandberg Instituut in Amsterdam. In May 2013 he established the Institute of Pataphysics in Vilnius, and published his new book, Management of Circumstances in early 2014. Recent exhibitions include Half Hotel, a parallel project for the fifth Marrakech Biennale (2014); EXILE, Rupert Project Space, Vilnius; ANNE, Contemporary Art Center, Vilnius; FAST FLUX, Studio-X, New York (all 2013); Chance No 6/Red Herring, Contemporary Art Center, Vilnius; Whatever or synoptics of uncertainty, POT, Kassel; Chance No 5, Oksasenkatu 11, Helsinki (all 2012); Generation of the Place: Image, Memory and Fiction in the Baltics, Tallinn Kunsthalle (2011); and Stop! Qui vive?", the second Moscow Biennale for Young Art, Moscow Museum of Modern Art (2010). www.rnarkus.lt

It's almost Halloween so that can only mean one thing – it's time for the annual costume bash on the Today show.
Much like last year, the show's crew donned amusing Halloween attire in honor of the Sunday holiday.
Meredith Vieira was Lady Gaga, Natalie Morales did her best Justin Bieber impression, Al Roker was Superman, and Ann Curry was Amelia Earhart.
They even incorporated Tina Fey and Will Ferrell. Check out the video below for more.

Why Study Religions?
A short answer is that many religions worldwide are, for good or ill, powerful forces in today's global society. As with politics, society, economics, literature, music and art, we need a reliable understanding of religions – in all their various manifestations - in order to make sense of our changing world and prepare for a future career.
Religions influence almost every aspect of society, from the arts to politics. Few days pass without reports in the media on the impact of religions upon both local and global events, and on the lives of individuals and communities.
Religions directly or indirectly influence social and foreign policies, laws, gender roles, diet, dress and ethical and moral beliefs. Religions affect the ways in which people interact and communicate and can be a powerful resource for both cooperation and antagonism. Freedom of expression, equality and tolerance and justifications for violence and war, very often have strong religious dimensions.
Contrary to the widespread belief that religions are about timeless truths, forms and expressions of religion are constantly changing, as society changes. Some people reject religion altogether, others are turning to 'alternative' spiritualities in search of personal and spiritual fulfilment while others want to reinforce 'traditional' religious values in a changing world.
If you are interested in understaning the diverse ways in which people live their lives, and in learning more about yourself and the changing world of which you are part, this subject may be for you...
Career Opportunities
UCC's Religions and Global Diversity programme is recognised by The Teaching Council for intending teachers of post-primary RE in Ireland. As society in Ireland and throughout the world becomes more culturally diverse, understanding different religious beliefs and practices becomes increasingly important in the workplace, for teachers, government, development agencies, international business, those in the media, in healthcare and in human resources. In addition to helping you to develop the blend of specific and transferable skills common to all Arts subjects, Religions and Global Diversity will give you insights into religion and culture, which should help you in the workplace and when seeking employment.

The department is located with other Arts & Social Sciences departments in the O'Rahilly Building (ORB), at the Southeast corner of the main UCC campus, close to the Boole (main) Library and the Devere student centre.
How to get here
By taxi
The journey from the airport takes 20-30 minutes. Ask to be dropped off on the corner of Donovans Road and College Road for the O'Rahilly Building at UCC. A pedestrian gate in the stone wall in College Road leads into the O'Rahilly Building courtyard. (See map )
On foot
The O'Rahilly Building is about 15 minutes walk from Cork town centre (Grand Parade). Go along Washington Street, past Jury's Hotel on the left, until you come to traffic lights and the UCC main campus entrance. Instead of going through the UCC gate, turn left up Donovan's road beside the campus. At the top, turn right into College Road. After a few metres, enter the ORahilly Building courtyard via the pedestrian gate in the stone wall on the right hand side of College Road. (See map)
By car
By car, you need to approach the campus from the Cork city (one-way system) and then turn left up Donovans Road. The nearest visitors' car park is a few metres South of the O'Rahilly Building, across College Road (see maps )

I really like the flavor and texture! Reminds me of those Cotlets candies. I bet any flavor of jam/jelly/preserves could be delicious, as well as any combination of nuts but I did use apricot/walnut this time. My pan size was a lot smaller than this recipe suggested, so rather than make my dough rolled extra thick, I just did five thin layers of dough instead of three. Also, I put both a thin layer of apricot followed by a sprinkling of nut mixture on top of each layer of dough. The end result was so pretty with the stratified layering effect and various hues of golden color. I'll definitely be making this dessert again sometime. p.s. I did not have sour cream, so used plain yogurt instead and it seemed to work great.
Sorry for being the minority here but we did not want seconds of these. Although, it was very beautifully layered and presentable.

Absolutely incredible!! By far one of the best desserts. My husband made it for my birthday, and it was perfectly not too sweet and the layers were delicious!!!
This Torte was absolutely delicious. I found that it tasted better several days after I baked it. This Torte keeps wonderfully without going too dry. Will definitely bake again and again and again.
Big hit with my history class. It got me a A+! My family also thought it was amazing. Easy, simple, delicious.
I hve been making this recipe since I was 13. It's a favorite of my fathers. I use either two jars of apricot preserves or 1 jar apricot and 1 jar pineapple preserves. The pineapple helps with the tartness of the apricot. I tried blueberry as well as a strawberry version but we like the apricot/ pineapple best.
Fam favorite for many years. You can use jam for both layers if nuts are not an option.

The Vampire Diaries
The Vampire Diaries Songs: Music From Season 4, Episode 19
We love a Vampire Diaries dance as much as the next fan, but we were especially looking forward to the prom in Season 4, Episode 19: "Pictures of You." Though the event didn't go off exactly as planned (it's never fun almost getting killed by your best friend, is it Bonnie?), the ep certainly brought some amazing tunes! As always, the Prom King crown goes to TVD's music mastermind, Chris Mollere.
Song: "Whispers"
Artist: Dave Baxter
Music Moment: Bonnie dreams about visiting Jeremy's grave in the opening scene
This one comes and this one goes / So here we are across the road / In whispers, in whispers / You say let it go, let it go home / Taking all our time we rode / Through the town where we grew old / Our stories and pictures / Oh we let them go, let them go home / Oh I have seen your beauty grow / Where all this fades, you shine in gold / Our love will be legend if we let it go, let it go home
Get it here
Song: "Bottled Up Tight"
Artist: Luke Sital-Singh
Music Moment: Stefan and Damon pick Elena up for the prom
I may be loose, I'm not a canbon / But I can be quiet saying my name / There are the weight, where is the balance / Maybe everyone's to blame / My heart and my mind have been with me always / But not long enough to keep them in line / I know that my mind has both good and bad days / But my heart wins every time / I feel the fire / I see a flame set me a light / Bring me desire bottled up tight / Like caging the ocean / Dousing my sun, drown out the sky / Bring me emotion, bottled up tight
Get it on iTunes
Song: "Pictures of You"
Artist: Elizabeth Harper & The Matinee
Music Moment: Stefan, Damon, and Elena arrive to prom, only to see a slideshow of old photos
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you / That I almost believe that they're real / I've been living so long with my pictures of you / That I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel / Remembering you standing quiet in the rain / As I ran to your heart to be near / And we kissed as the sky fell in holding you close / How I always held close in your fear / Remembering you running soft through the night / You were bigger and brighter than the snow / And screamed at the make-believe, screamed at the sky / And you finally found all your courage to let it all go

Music Moment: Stefan dances with Elena at the prom, trying to get her to remember her old feelings
All along it was a fever / A cold sweat hot-headed believer / I threw my hands in the air said show me something / He said, if you dare come a little closer / Round and around and around and around we go / Ohhh ohhh now tell me now tell me now tell me now you know / Not really sure how to feel about it / Something in the way you move / Makes me feel like I can't live without you / It takes me all the way / I want you to stay

Come closer / Breathe deeper / Just take it in / Make love to each other / Over and over again / If it's all I can take / I'll remember it all, remember it all / If it's all I can take / I'll remember it all, remember it all / One moment imprinted inside my mind / Could there be more to this love / Or will it be left behind?

I cannot recall when I've felt like this / It's been a long, old time if I ever did / So if I act strange, I'm hoping you'll forgive / I've got your light / I've got your light in my eyes / On some distant moon I lie on my back / For a glimpse of blue 'fore it's gone to black / It used to be like this, now it's not like that / I've got your light / I've got your light in my eyes

Music Moment: Silas (pretending to be Stefan) talks to Damon and stabs him
Some say love is a burning thing / That it makes a fiery ring / Oh but I know love as a fading thing / Just as fickle as a feather in a stream / See, honey, I saw love / You see, it came to me / It put its face up to my face so I could see / Yeah, then I saw love disfigure me / Into something I am not recognizing / See, the cage, it called. I said, "Come on in" / I will not open myself up this way again / Nor lay my face to the soil, nor my teeth to the sand / I will not lay like this for days now upon end / You will not see me fall, nor see me struggle to stand / To be acknowledge by some touch from his gnarled hands

Darling, you send me / I know you send me / Darling, you send me / Honest, you do, honest, you do / Honest, you do / Ohh, you thrill me / I know you, you, you thrill me / Darling, you, you, you thrill me / Honest, you do / At first I thought it was infatuation / But, oh, it's lasted so long / Now I find myself wanting / To marry you and take you home / Ohh, you, you, you send me / I know you send me / I know you send me / Honest, you do

State Sen. President Don Gaetz has been criticized across Florida for big salary increases given to members of the management team he selected to run his office.
An article that first appeared in the Miami Herald noted that Gaetz nearly doubled the salary of Chris Clark, who will serve as his chief of staff, by raising it from $77,000 to $150,000.
It also points out that Gaetz raised the salary of communications director Katie Betta by $13,000 to $120,000, and Lisa Vickers, his governmental operations specialist, by $15,000 to $135,000.
Vickers left her job as head of the Florida Department of Revenue to work for Gaetz.
The news article and numerous blogs and editorials point out that Gaetz's staff got raises even though state workers have not received pay increases in six years.
"It's not so much the amount of money as the principle of the thing," said an editorial on Ocala.com, a website associated with the Ocala Star-Banner.
Given an opportunity to defend his actions — something he said he was not afforded by the Miami Herald, Gaetz did so point by point.
He said to imply that his staff raises were unfair because state employees hadn't received cost of living increases was "a little awkward."
"Even though state employees have not received raises, state employees have received promotions," Gaetz said. "Over the past six years thousands of state employees have been promoted and as a consequence have been paid more."
Clark, Gaetz said, had been promoted from a chief of staff for a single senator to "basically a chief operating officer for an entire state."
He said Betta was promoted from director of communications to deputy chief of staff. She will oversee Senate communications and "majority office functions," he said.
Gaetz said that while the South Florida newspapers pointed out the amount of the raises his staffers were given, they failed say that Clark was being paid $25,000 less than either of two chiefs of staff employed by outgoing Senate President Mike Haridopolos.
Craig Meyer and Steve McNamera, who served at different times as Haridopolos' chief of staff, made $175,000, Gaetz said.
"Chris Clark took a significant pay cut when he came to work for me six years ago," Gaetz said. "When I became Senate President I could have done what Haridopolos did and give some other high-paid individual the position. I decided to choose someone who I had worked with."
Gaetz also provided figures indicating his office is paying less in staff salaries than either of the two pervious Senate presidents.
President Jeff Atwater's "salary load" was $1.146 million, Gaetz said, and Haridopolos paid $1.292 in salaries (an amount that included the cost of two contract employees.)
Gaetz said his salary load is $1.13 million.
He said he interviewed "lots of people" before choosing his senior management staff.
"The Florida Senate oversees a $70 billion budget and the Senate itself employs several hundred. This is a complex and significant operation, like operating a fairly large company," Gaetz said.
"I believe that I'm blessed with a senior staff good enough that if I were to run a large private-sector company, I would be proud to have these individuals as a management level staff."

Starkey doesn't say it, but the clear culprit, unsurprisingly, is the offensive line.
A perfect example of a big-play breakdown occurred in the loss to New England, when the Steelers lined up on their 48, on the second play of the second half, trailing, 17-13.
"Oh, don't bring up that play," Arians said with a pained laugh.
Parker had just run for 18 yards. It was the ideal time to go deep. Arians called for a bomb to Hines Ward, set up by a fake screen and fake draw.
It went perfectly, except that Patriots tackle Vince Wilfork spun off a double team by Alan Faneca and Sean Mahan, shot up the middle and sacked Roethlisberger before he could unleash.
Ward was wide open for what might have been a 52-yard touchdown.
"Nobody was even around me, but Ben couldn't get the ball down to me," said Ward, whose longest reception this season is just 25 yards. "If we get that block there, the outcome of that game is probably different."
Arians said bad luck caused the sack.
"We had a problem with a protector stepping on another protector's foot. He lost his balance and got beat," Arians said.
Hard luck, huh? I have a pretty secure feeling that if Jeff Hartings were still at center, that play goes for seven. That Willie Parker's longest run of the year is 32 yards and that he only has two touchdowns falls on him as well as the line, but the same holes just aren't there.
Then there's the 38 sacks that Roethlisberger has taken, most in the AFC, that are causing him to miss Wednesday's and Thursday's practice, that have people worried whether he'll start Sunday.
Pitted against the Jiggywires defense this week, the big play paucity isn't likely to get snapped, but they might need it to.
