In the undergraduate study of psychology, the emphasis is on a broad acquaintance with the behavioral sciences, not specialization. The subject matter is preparatory to a career in psychology either in basic research and teaching, or in any number of professional applications to various human problems. A psychology major may prove valuable to those planning other professional careers such as medicine, law, education, or business, as well as to those who seek a broad cultural background in the behavioral sciences. The courses in the department available to undergraduate students are listed on the following pages. No courses numbered 700 or above may be taken by undergraduate students. Consult the current directory of classes for each semester's offerings. PSYC 101 is prerequisite to ALL courses offered in the Department of Psychology except for first-year seminars, which are numbered below 100. Students and their advisors should take careful note of the specified prerequisites for advanced offerings in this listing. The specified courses (or their equivalents from other institutions) provide a necessary background for entry into these advanced courses.

Each candidate for honors participates in a two-semester course sequence (PSYC 693H and 694H) and carries out independent research in an area of the student's choice under the guidance of a psychology faculty member. Please see the department Web site for the application form and additional information (psychology.unc.edu/undergraduate-studies/honors-program).
All psychology majors have a primary academic advisor in Steele Building. Students are strongly encouraged to meet regularly with their advisor and review their Tar Heel Tracker each semester. Several faculty members (see list at psychology.unc.edu/undergraduate-studies/academic-advising) are available to meet with current and prospective majors by appointment. Students who are considering graduate studies in psychology are particularly encouraged to contact departmental academic advisors. Additional information about courses, undergraduate research opportunities, the honors program, and the Psychology Club may be obtained from the department's Web site.
Special Opportunities in Psychology
Departmental Involvement
Membership in the Psychology Club is open to any interested psychology major. There is no minimum grade point average requirement. The club meets frequently to discuss psychology-related topics and learn about careers in psychology.
Experiential Education
Several opportunities for experiential education are available. These include PSYC 395 Independent Research; PSYC 294 Service Learning in Psychology; APPLES, performed either through the APPLES program or in conjunction with a specific psychology class; and other classes for which service learning is a central focus. See course listings for details.
Undergraduate Awards
The David Bray Peele Award (administered in the Department of Psychology) and several fellowships and grants administered through the UNC Office for Undergraduate Research are available to students who conduct research in psychology. Each year, the Dashiell-Thurstone Prize is awarded for the best undergraduate research project. An additional honor is election to Psi Chi, the national honor society for psychology undergraduates. Psychology majors who have completed at least three courses in psychology and who have a grade point average of at least 3.2 at UNCChapel Hill will be invited to join Psi Chi.
Undergraduate Research
Qualified students interested in doing independent research under the direction of a faculty member may enroll for independent research credit (PSYC 395). Students interested in this option should speak directly with psychology faculty members regarding opportunities in their laboratories. Additional information is available at psychology.unc.edu/undergraduate-studies/undergraduate-research.
Graduate School and Career Opportunities
Both the B.A. and B.S. degree programs prepare students for entry into graduate programs in psychology and a large number of related areas. Both programs, augmented by courses dictated by various graduate and professional schools, also provide training that has proved beneficial for those applying to business, law, and medical schools.
Undergraduate psychology majors seek and find employment in a wide range of occupations and many continue their education and training in graduate school. It is important for students to understand that many of the occupations traditionally associated with psychology (e.g., clinical psychologist) are licensed specialties that require graduate training.

Comments about La Paloma Vintage Reserva Toro Maduro Single Cigar:
This cigar needs to be in a humidor for a week or two before use as it is a little dry out of the box. I only had one, but it had a poor draw and needed a draw poker to even begin to smoke it. Slight wrapper issue, but it burned past it and had nice even burn all the way through. It initially had a creamy taste, but it was a little harsh on the back of the throat and had a weird chemical aftertaste. Not the worst cigar I have ever tried, but I have had way better for the price.

Just six days ago, hockey fans got the news that they had waited for for 113 days. During the early morning of January 6th, the NHL lockout was ended in principle by the league and it's players' union, the NHLPA in last-ditch bargaining talks in New York City. With the disappointment of the lockout behind us, a season is about to be played, starting on January 19th. Teams will have a very short training camp to ramp up for the 48 game, condensed season they are about to begin.
For the Rangers, expectations have never been higher in recent memory. After finding a balance between experience and youth last season, the team still had a problem with goal scoring, putting much of the pressure on goaltender Henrik Lundqvist. However, GM Glen Sather made a couple of moves that many believe will put the Rangers over the top, as one of the favorites to hoist the cup.
In perhaps the biggest trade of the offseason, the Rangers dealt centers Brandon Dubinsky and Artem Anisimov as well as defenseman Tim Erixon to Columbus for the coveted winger, Rick Nash. John Tortorella's newest offensive weapon, drafted first overall by Columbus in 2002, has averaged 32 goals a year in his nine-year career. To get a player still in his prime without breaking the bank in terms of young talent was an absolutely golden opportunity for the Rangers, which should pay dividends right away. Nash is another big-time scorer to pair with Marian Gaborik, who scored 41 goals last season, on the top line as well as on the power play, which should prove deadly for opposing defenses. Perhaps one of the blessings in disguise for the Rangers is the fact that Gaborik will be able to start the season after the nearly four month long lockout. With Chris Kreider, Carl Hagelin and Derek Stepan all coming off stellar campaigns (Kreider's was in the playoffs), they should continue to provide a youthful infusion into this up-tempo offensive unit.
Despite Michael Del Zotto's horrific performance against the New Jersey Devils in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Rangers must work to resign him to maintain their depth on the blue line. With Michael Sauer's injury, Del Zotto could even work himself into the team's "core four" defensemen (Tortorella likes to lean on his top four defensemen for most of the playing time), which already includes Marc Staal, Ryan McDonagh and Dan Girardi. The Rangers one of the best defensive units in hockey last season and shouldn't squander that on a lack of depth. If the signing is completed as many anticipate, nothing should stop the Rangers from repeating their stellar defensive numbers.
Henrik Lundqvist is a superstar in net; there is really no other way to put it. Coming off a season in which he procured the Vezina trophy (for best goaltender), Lundqvist has established himself as a perennial all-star as well as a stalwart between the pipes. He is an absolute pleasure to watch, but he has to be kept fresh due to the multiple back-to-back games the team will have to play. That will make the play of Martin Biron crucial as he could play in as much as 25% of the team's games, barring injury.
The sky seams to be the limit for this team. I don't usually make predictions regarding my own teams, but I think it'd be a shock if the Rangers aren't at least in the conference finals for the second year in a row. With a largely weakened division, a top-three seed should not be all that difficult to attain.

Suicidal veteran: Phoenix VA denied me care because I had no appointment
PHOENIX -- A suicidal veteran claimed he was denied care at a Phoenix Veterans Affairs facility Wednesday because he did not have an appointment.
The veteran, an acquaintance of Rob & Karie co-host Rob Hunter who wishes to remain anonymous, said he told a nurse at the VA he "was not feeling well" and "did not trust himself" when asking for care. The nurse allegedly informed him that appointments were required and a mental health professional would contact him.
Dr. Sam Foote, one of the whistle blowers who gave life to the VA scandal investigation, said the veteran's status with the VA could have played a small part.
"If you have an established provider, they can usually grease the wheels for you," he told News/Talk 92.3 KTAR's Rob & Karie.
However, his status aside, Foote said the administration is prepared to handle suicidal veterans at all times.
"I don't know who turned him away or said we'd call him back later," he said. "That's not normally we like to handle something like that. Normally you want them to have them triaged by somebody who's a professional in mental health and those people are certainly available at the downtown medical center."
The veteran also claimed he contacted the VA earlier this week to request an appointment. He informed them he had Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after serving in Iraq, but was told he must be diagnosed at a Phoenix VA facility. Given no other option, he walked into the VA where he was turned away, a potentially dangerous scenario.
"Where the intersection of suicide occurs is in a sense of being trapped, there are no other options," said Annette Hill, a psychologist whose son took his own life while suffering with PTSD. "When this young man walks into a VA and he exercises an option and they close the door, that's not OK."
After the story aired on KTAR, the VA contacted Hunter and asked to be put in touch with the veteran. The VA then cleared its schedule and brought the veteran in for treatment.
"We can get this individual seen [Wednesday]," said Phil Walls with the VA. "We can arrange transportation if we need to, whatever it takes."
The Phoenix VA is undergoing a revitalization after being at the forefront of a national scandal that revealed extensive corruption and forged numbers within the administration. Some veterans waited months for care and some may have died waiting.
"We are adding capacity to treat veterans when they need to be treated, where they need to be treated," said Walls.
Prior to the scandal, Foote said the VA lacked at least 16 mental health professionals, primarily because the administration couldn't offer a competitive salary.
"Our ability to handle mental health services is not where we want it to be," he told Rob & Karie.
Hill said the lack of mental health care is an issue, as the number of young men and women returning from combat are displaying a high rate of PTSD. All of them will likely need treatment at some point because of their training and war-like mindset.
"Suicide is sometimes on a shorter list (for veterans) than it is for the regular population," she said. "They have to deal with that every single day when they leave the wire. 'If I'm trapped, I have to know how to [take my own life].'"
Since the scandal, the VA has announced it would build a new facility in Phoenix and would increase hiring. Foote said more than 10 people in mental health alone have been hired, though he's unsure how many have started.
"We have emergency mental health care at the Phoenix VA Medical Center," Walls said, adding that veterans in need of help can always call the Veterans' Crisis Line at 800-273-8255 and press 1 or call the local number at 602-277-5551.

At one point or another, just about every celebrity has taken their turn to slam Paris Hilton, and George Clooney is no different.
Georgey says he doesn't want fans to mistake her success for talent. He insists that too many young stars think they're good at acting just because they're landing movie roles and making money.
He tells Rolling Stone, "There is a funny thing that happens when you are a young actor. You equate financial success and getting jobs with whether or not you are good at it."
"And it still happens. That's why there is Paris Hilton. Now I'm in trouble with Paris Hilton."
Everyone can hate on Paris, but she always gets the last laugh. In fact, she's laughing all the way to the bank. That girl makes mad money!

The Black Swan Movie Details:
Nina (Portman) is a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother Erica (Hershey) who exerts a suffocating control over her. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side – a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

The present invention relates generally to a chair of the type suitable for use in an office environment and, more particularly, to a reclining office chair having several structural and operating features which offer a number of ergonomic advantages over the prior art including a highly functional and aesthetically pleasing chair back.
2. Description of the Related Art
Over many years attempts have been made to design chairs for use in office environments which are comfortable to use and thereby avoid user fatigue over prolonged use. In one simple form a chair may be provided with a swivel base for ease of turning and include a control mechanism which permits the chair to rock. A disadvantage of these relatively simple chairs is that conjoint rocking motion of the chair seat and back naturally lifts the user's feet off the floor, which can create stability problems and place upward force on the front of the user's thighs which can reduce fluid circulation in the user's legs.
To improve on the foregoing chair construction, chair controls are known which provide for synchronous movement of the chair seat and back. Where office chairs are concerned, a "synchronous control" means the arrangement of a combined or dependent back adjustment and seat adjustment, that is to say the adjustment of the back inclination fundamentally also results in an adjustment of the sitting surface. An example of a synchronous chair control is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,318,345, issued to Olson and assigned to the common assignee herein. With the aforementioned Olson control, the chair back is designed to tilt at one predetermined rate of recline while the seat tilts synchronously at a much lesser rate. The result is that the user's feet are not lifted from the floor when the back is reclined. Also, fluid circulation in the user's legs is not interrupted by substantial upward movement of the forward end of the seat. Another advantage of this control is that undesirable "shirt pull" is minimized by the strategic location of the tilt axis. Other examples of synchronous chair controls are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,366,274 and 5,860,701 to name a few.
Another feature embodied in recently designed office chairs that offers considerable ergonomic advantages is a tilt limiter feature for the chair back. With such a mechanism built into the chair control, the user may selectively set the degree of back recline at a predetermined angle thereby adding to comfort as the chair is used. An example of such a tilt limiter mechanism is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,102,477 issued to Kurtz and assigned to the common assignee herein. This particular mechanism offers the advantage of providing for infinitely variable angles of tilt within a predetermined overall range. The mechanism is also highly cost-effective to construct.
Yet another feature of current ergonomically designed chairs is the provision of height and pivot adjustable arm pads. Such a feature is particularly advantageous in providing the user with additional support to the arms, forearms, wrists and shoulders in order to minimize repetitive stress injuries when the user is keyboarding, for example, while seated in the chair. An example of such an adjustable arm pad is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,908,221 issued to Neil. One advantage of the '221 structure is that it uses gas cylinders for arm pad height adjustment and thus is easily adjusted with the push of a single button.
Yet another feature of current ergonomically designed office chairs includes an adjustable lumbar support mechanism for providing preselected chair back tension in the region of the user's lower back. An adjustable lumbar support allows the chair user to select a comfortable level of pressure on the lower back depending upon the specific office task being performed. Such a mechanism is disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,797,652.
Still another feature of certain ergonomically designed office chairs, particularly of recent vintage, is the incorporation of fabric mesh into the construction of the chair seat, and/or back. While mesh materials are well-known in the construction of lawn furniture seating, it has only been relatively recently that such materials have been used successfully in office seating. These materials offer the advantage of enhanced air circulation for and consequent heat transfer from the chair user's body, which can improve the comfort of the chair. An example of the use of such fabric mesh in an office chair is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,125,521 issued to Stumpf et al.
Yet another feature of certain ergonomically designed chairs is the provision of a seat cushion having the capability of effecting heat transfer from the chair user's buttocks area while at the same time offering comfort to the user while seated, together with adequate support. Known seat cushions having such capability may involve a passive or active air flow circulation feature of the type disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,179,706.
The below described chair is a totally redesigned ergonomic chair that incorporates improved functional aspects in all areas of a modular chair construction and in its use, including tilt limit control, seat adjustment, arm adjustment, lumbar support, cushion airflow, mesh attachment and modular base frame assembly.
The various subfeatures of these modular components are the subject of the following individual applications filed of even date herewith, all commonly assigned, the disclosures of which are incorporated in full by reference:
Multi-position Tilt Limiting Mechanism, Pat. No. 6,616,231;
Locking Device for Chair Seat Horizontal Adjustment Mechanism, Pat. No. 6,688,692;
Height and Pivot Adjustable Chair Arm, Pat. No. 6,702,386;
Lumbar Support for a Chair, Pat. No. 6,572,190;
Body Support Member, Pat. No. 6,598,251;
Ergonomic Chair, Pat. No. 6,609,755;
Chair of Modular Construction, Pat. No. 6,568,760.
A complete understanding of the present invention and other objects, advantages and features thereof will be gained from a consideration of the present specification which provides a written description of the invention, and of the manner and process of making and using the invention, set forth in such full, clear, concise, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make and use the same in compliance with Title 35 U.S.C. §112 (first paragraph). Furthermore the following description of preferred embodiments of the invention read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing provided herein represents examples of the invention in compliance with Title 35 U.S.C. §112 (first paragraph), but the invention itself is defined in the claims section attached hereto.
In each of these cases, features combine to provide an overall chair that is a significant improvement over the prior art.
Thus, for example, the new ergonomic chair provides a reclining chair having a four bar linkage system that causes the rear of the seat to elevate as the back is reclined lending an unusual and comfortable balance during reclining. A tilt limit control conveniently and effectively limits the degree of chair back tilt to one of three reclined positions by manual movement of a simple lever. Horizontal positioning of the chair seat cushion is accomplished using a simple locking device that allows the chair user to simply lift up on the front of the cushion and select a preferred horizontal cushion position. Height and pivot adjustable chair arms are actuated with the push of a button by gas cylinders lending convenient adjustment to suit a specific work task. A lumbar support is easily height adjustable, by providing tension to the back frame and requires no screws or adjustment knobs in its adjustment mechanism. A modular cushion includes a comfortable heat absorbing gel layer and is vented uniquely for air circulation. The back of the chair is of fabric mesh construction and includes a novel attachment system for superior comfort. The base of the chair is of modular construction that provides for ease of assembly and lends rigidity to the chair construction.
The present invention improves over the prior art by providing a back for a chair including a fabric panel with a flexible carrier attached to the panel around its periphery. The carrier is configured to be secured along a bottom edge to a bottom portion of a chair back frame member. The carrier is also secured to two vertical frame supports at its two upper corners. Preferably, the upper carrier and frame connections are ball and socket joints.
The foregoing and other novel features and advantages of the invention will be better understood upon a reading of the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
While the present is open to various modifications and alternative constructions, the preferred embodiments illustrating the best mode contemplated by the inventors of carrying out their invention are shown in the various figures of the drawing and will be described herein in detail pursuant to Title 35 U.S.C. §112 (first paragraph). It is understood, however, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the particular embodiments, forms or examples which are disclosed herein. To the contrary the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalent structures and methods and alternative constructions falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as express in the appended Claims section attached hereto pursuant to Title 35 U.S.C. §112 (second paragraph).
Referring now to the drawings, and initially to
As shown in
The relative portions of the seat 12 and back 14 of the chair 10, during reclining of the back 14, can be seen in the side views of
Shown now in
The kinematics of the chair 10 are illustrated in
It can now be appreciated that a chair 10 constructed according to the invention offers considerable advantages in user comfort by virtue of its synchronous linkage construction particularly where it is used for prolonged periods of time. The chair 10 is also cost effective to manufacture and assemble.
Turning now to
In accordance with the invention the back assembly 14 includes a transverse lumbar support tube 120 having gripping means 122 on each of its opposed ends, together with a pair of spaced slide members 124. A cross-section of the gripping means 122 can be seen in
Alternative lumbar support systems using the mesh 36 and carrier 38 assembly can be seen in
Yet another novel and highly functional feature of the chair 10 that offers ergonomic advantages over the prior art is the construction of the chair back 14. As previously noted, the back 14 is designed to be formed of a panel of fabric mesh 36 which is preferably of an open weave type known in the art. The construction of the fabric mesh 36 may have a variety of weave configurations. One configuration that has proved to be advantageous is shown in FIG. 31 comprising vertical strands 220 of multifilament yarn and horizontal monofilaments 222. The monofilaments 222 in this construction can be seen to cross over the strands 220 and also crisscross over each other thereby locking the strands 220 in place.
In order to support the mesh 36 around its edges, the aforementioned carrier 38 is used. The physical connection of the carrier 38 to the mesh 36 may be performed in a number of ways. However, a most reliable connection is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,511,562.
In order to support the chair back 14, in accordance with the invention and referring once again to
It can now be appreciated that a chair back construction as just described offers considerable ergonomic advantages. The use of open mesh 36 allows the chair back 14 to not only breathe, but to flex in conformity with the back of the user. The back 14 is also highly cost effective to manufacture and assemble.
The above specification describes in detail several preferred embodiments of the present invention. Other examples, embodiments, modifications and variations will under both the literal claim language and the doctrine of equivalents come within the scope of the invention defined by the appended claims. Still other alternatives will also be equivalent as will many new technologies. There is no desire or intention here to limit in any way the application of the doctrine of equivalents nor to limit or restrict the scope of the invention.

Just acquired a mint Power Mac G5 (1.6)...I know I know, lol
Hey there Mac Forum! (Long time lurker, first time poster)
I've searched and searched for info and have found some posts that were informative but in the end, it was hard to get the info I needed without weeding through the endless amount of troll posts.
The title says it all. I rescued a Power Mac G5. It looks amazing. Clean, well kept etc. I have yet to power it up but let's just assume it boots up fine, what are my options for making this current...or as current as possible? It's not Intel so I know motherboard and processor is going to be my first bridge
Basically, what are my options? Most programs I want to run on this thing are Intel based so I guess I need to start from the ground up.
If anyone out there doesn't mind me picking their brain about this, it'll be greatly appreciated. And sorry if this topic has been done before...
Welcome to Mac-Forums..
A Mac isn't a PC, you cannot replace the guts of it to update it or anything. So it's not like you can find the Intel versions of the Logicboard and replace the PowerPC based one in there..
You are stuck with the PowerPC G5 processor in there and at best can update to OS X Leopard 10.5. This, however, isn't really much since virtually all applications these days require OS X Snow Leopard 10.6 as the minimum requirement and Snow Leopard needs an Intel-based Mac..
I'm not sure how much you "rescued" this Power Mac for, but you'll have to invest some time in finding applications that will work with this well over 10-12 year old machine..
Bah, that's what I figured. The machine was free so I'm not really losing out. And I just love the case. Maybe I'll just try to upgrade it as much as possible and have it as a knock around desktop to check email and browse the internet with.
Thanks again!
Well free is good..:)
You can upgrade the RAM and the hard drive. Hopefully you got the original installation media with the Mac so you can do a clean re-install to get it back to its original performance..
As far as browsing goes, you can use Safari that came with it, but if you want another browser, you'll have to use specific versions for PowerPC since all newer versions have dropped support. You will also likely have to find an old version of Adobe Flash if you want that..
BUT, check HERE to see if you can identify your specific G5 model - then, plenty of information that might be useful - Dave
Ha, I deff got what I paid for. Maybe I'll just gut the case out and turn it into a cool fish tank. :P
And for what it's worth (and not to be negative)...but a 1.6ghz Powermac G5 is the worst Powermac G5 there is.:( But...free is alway a good price!:)
You're pretty much stuck with OS 10.5.8...which is about 4 versions behind the most current (10.9.x).
You don't need to turn it into a "fish tank"...otherwise you would negate the "rescue" you made!:)
- Nick
Yeah, I have a current gen mbp which is a beast in itself...I just wanted to take some of the strain of my day to day off it and on to a desktop. But it is what it is.
I appreciate all the help, guys!
To install a SATA I 1.5GB/ps SSD, boost memory to say 8GB sand then an ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card is going to set you back the best part of $300 and it will still be an outdated slow 2003 computer.
I still have 1500 mbs of ram from my old G5 I will give you if you get it operational by using leopard.
PM me if you are interested.
