Biology (BIOL)
Potential biology majors should select a sequence of courses that will acquaint them with a variety of organisms, and their molecular and cellular structure, physiology, heredity, development, evolution, and ecological interactions. Biologists pursue careers in biological research, study in the medical sciences, teaching at the college or high school level, work in environmental sciences, or work in numerous commercial and industrial areas.
Requirements for a Major
1. Biology 125 and 126 (majors are required to complete both introductory courses, with a grade of "C-" or better before taking any other courses in the department)
2. One course from each of the following groups including their laboratories where listed separately:
a. Molecular and Cell Biology (240 Genetics/241 Genetics Laboratory, 280 Cell Biology/281 Cell Biology Laboratory, 310 Immunology/311 Immunology Laboratory, 380 Biochemistry/381 Biochemistry Laboratory, 382 Molecular Biology/383 Molecular Biology Laboratory)
b. Organismic Biology (Biology 232 Human Physiology/233 Human Physiology Laboratory, 234 Microbiology with Laboratory, 236 Plant Biology, 238 Entomology/239 Entomology Laboratory, 242 Vertebrate Morphology/243 Vertebrate Morphology Laboratory, 252 Environmental Animal Physiology/253 Environmental Animal Physiology Laboratory, 309 Comparative Reproduction of Australian Vertebrates , 332 Human Physiology /333 Human Physiology Laboratory, 342 Animal Developmental Biology/343 Animal Developmental Biology Laboratory, 344 Seminar: The Molecular Basis of Plant Development, 386 Neurobiology/387 Neurobiology Laboratory)
c. Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (Biology 221 Ecosystem Ecology/222 Ecosystem Ecology Laboratory, 238 Entomology/239 Entomology Laboratory, 248 Behavioral Ecology, 250 Marine Biology, 308 Ecology and Conservation in Ecology and New Zealand, 321 Ecosystem Ecology/322 Ecosystem Ecology Laboratory, 350 Evolution, 352 Population Ecology/353 Population Ecology Laboratory, 374 Seminar: Grassland Ecology)
3. Three electives, which may include six-credits of Biology 394, a seminar, or any of the courses listed above. If you choose a course for an elective that offers a laboratory section, then the lab must be taken in order for the course to count toward the major.
4. One course must emphasize data interpretation and analysis of the primary literature. Ideally, you should complete this seminar course prior to registering for Biology 400 (integrative exercise). Courses that fulfill this requirement include: 309, 344, 358-379, 382/383, 385, 389. A maximum of two course may be taken from this category.
5. Critical Reading and Analysis of Primary Literature (Biology 399).
6. Integrative Exercise (Biology 400 two terms).
Laboratory work is an integral part of most biology courses. In courses in which registration for the laboratory is separable from the lecture portion of the course, all biology majors are required to register concurrently for laboratory and lecture in order for these courses to count toward requirements for the major unless otherwise noted. No course taken at another school may be used to meet the requirements for the major without prior approval of the Biology faculty.
Because of the close interrelationship of Biology to other sciences, supporting work in other areas is necessary. The minimum requirement includes 1) Physics: One five-week Newtonian mechanics course, 131, 132, 141, or 142, and one of the following five-week courses: 151, 152, 153, or 165 (6 credits); or Mathematics 215; and 2) Chemistry 123 or 128; and 3) Chemistry 230 or 233. The need for additional courses in allied sciences and mathematics will vary with the professional plans of the student.
The Introductory Sequence
The introductory Biology sequence consists of two courses, Biology 125 and 126, both of which are required before any further upper-level course work in Biology. The two courses can be taken in either order. Students who received a score of 5 on the AP exam or a score of 6 or 7 on the IB exam are exempted from Biology 125, and only need to take Biology 126 before taking upper-level Biology courses.
There are two versions of Biology 125, and students are urged to make a thoughtful choice of the appropriate offering based on their background and learning style. The winter term offering of Biology 125 is designed for students who 1) earned a score of 3 or 4 in AP Biology, or 2) received a score of 5 in IB Biology, or 3) earned a grade of B or higher in Honors or Advanced Biology in high school. In addition, these students are expected to have mastered basic concepts of chemistry in either a high school or college chemistry course. These same criteria would apply to any students who would like to take Biology 126 before taking Biology 125.
Biology Courses
BIOL 101. Human Reproduction and Sexuality The myths surrounding human reproduction and sexuality may out weigh our collective knowledge and understanding. This course will review the basic biology of all aspects of reproduction--from genes to behavior--in an attempt to better understand one of the more basic and important processes in nature. Topics will vary widely and will be generated in part by student interest. A sample of topics might include: hormones, PMS, fertilization, pregnancy, arousal, attraction, the evolution of the orgasm, and the biology of sexuality. 6 cr., NE, QRE, WinterM. Rand
BIOL 125. Genes, Evolution, and Development: A Problem Solving Approach This offering of Biology 125 offers a problem solving approach and covers the same concepts as the winter version of Biology 125. The course format allows time in class to apply new concepts by working through case study type problems with faculty present. Students enter Carleton from a wide variety of academic experiences, and this offering of Biology 125 is designed to provide a level playing field for students regardless of previous science background. In addition, the active learning component of the course is beneficial for students who like to learn by doing.

Prerequisite: Biology 125 and 126 or permission of the instructor. 6 cr., NE, QRE, Winter,SpringJ. Wolff, J. Petricka
BIOL 248. Behavioral Ecology Behavioral ecologists strive to understand the complex ways that ecological pressures influence the evolution of behavioral strategies. It can be argued that animals face a relatively small set of basic challenges: they must acquire food, water, and mates, and they must avoid danger. Yet we see a rich diversity of solutions to these problems. Consider foraging behavior, for example. All animals must acquire energy, but some filter particles out of sea water, others graze on nearly inedible grasses, while still others hunt in cooperative packs. In this course we will consider such topics as foraging, communication, sociality, and conflict. By focusing on the functions and evolutionary histories of behaviors, we strive to better understand the puzzle of behavioral diversity.

United Way endorses Issue 5Written by Bill Kitson | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Earlier this week, United Way of Greater Toledo announced its endorsement of Issue 5 — the proposed Toledo Public Schools (TPS) levy. Because United Way rarely takes a stance on political matters and because of the controversial nature of this particular issue, this came as a surprise to some, so I would like to share our reasons.
We have chosen to endorse the levy because we can't afford not to. Through our collaborations with TPS, we are making strides both in the district's schools and with TPS students. Additionally, we have invested approximately $1.9 million in education-related programs, many of which directly affect TPS students. We are seeing a new openness from TPS for partnerships and this is giving us an unprecedented opportunity to sit down with TPS leadership to identify new ways United Way and others can leverage resources to help. These are not advances we can allow to disappear.
Last year, TPS had to make $39 million in cuts and lost 1,400 students. Faced with a similar deficit next year, losing — at minimum — another 1,400 kids is a very real danger. The reality is many of those kids are not finding alternative education options; they are simply dropping out, only to end up on the streets or in the prison system. This is not sustainable for a community like Toledo, where a stable school system is absolutely critical to economic development.
United Way strongly believes choosing to endorse this levy now will far outweigh what we will have to pay later when we are trying to help an even further devastated school system and local economy recover. TPS leadership is showing incredible progress in reaching out to the community for help in creating an authentic reform plan, and we look forward to continuing to work alongside them in these efforts.
We urge you to join us in supporting the levy. I realize the type of emotions and opinions this topic can stir up, so I would be happy to further discuss our reasons for endorsement with anyone. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time at (419) 248-2424.
Bill Kitson is president and CEO of United Way of Greater Toledo.

Like many people, I've long thought of cocoa and coffee as being fairly similar; both are complex flavor-wise, both are grown in the tropics (one at low elevation, the other high) and both are seeds that need roasting before consumption. But I didn't know much about chocolate production until I met Robbie Stout of Ritual Chocolate in Denver, CO who gave me a tour of his facility and explained a bit about the cocoa roasting process and making chocolate.
Here's the photos from the session... https://www.sweetmarias.com/library/image/tid/18
Thanks to those who visited our booth at the 2011 Maker Faire. Here's a quick montage of our booth and all the oddness surrounding it
Many folks talk about, or complain about, a coffee having too much roast flavor, as opposed to origin flavor. In this video, Tom does an experiment to try all the stages of roast, from completely green unroasted coffee to yellow stage, to just before first crack and then into the more traditionally recognized roast levels. Oddly enough, the roast just before first crack tastes a lot like a commercial coffee - ala Dunkin' Donuts style coffee.
Elevation in Tom's West Oakland green house is 8 feet above sea level. Not much. But the thrill is growing it yourself.
The pack in Harar has been fed for 50 years by the Hyena Man (2generations of Hyena Men, to be correct). They also come into town through "Hyena Hole", a gap in the wall surrounding the Jogol, the old town. While they are dangerous and wild, they are pack animals, and highly adaptable. So the feeding of them seems partcularily tame. But there are hyena attacks on children, as you will see when I photographed a 10 year old victim who survived (my full pictorial coming soon.) They will take young children and simply disappear to the mountains.

Official blog post talks up merits of Flash and HTML5.
YouTube has given its tuppence worth on the never-ending debate about whether HTML5 or Adobe Flash can win the battle for web video supremacy. And its official blog post says that while the former has its merits, Flash still has a long way to go.
YouTube Software Engineer John Harding writes, "While HTML5's video support enables us to bring most of the content and features of YouTube to computers and other devices that don't support Flash Player, it does not yet meet all of our needs."
Related links:

Harding continues, "Today, Adobe Flash provides the best platform for YouTube's video distribution requirements, which is why our primary video player is built with it."
Harding also points out that HTML5's struggles with full screen videos have caused issues and that Flash is still the best medium for spying HD content on the world's favourite video sharing platform. He also talks up Google's plans for its WebM codec, which has previously been talked down by Steve Jobs, whose love for HTML5 is well documented.

Greeks Turn To Bitcoin To Dodge Capital ControlsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/03/2015 21:05 -0400
There is at least one legal way to get your euros out of Greece these days, to guard against the prospect that they might be devalued into drachmas: convert them into bitcoin. As Reuters reports, although absolute figures are hard to come by, Greek interest has surged in the online "cryptocurrency", as new customers depositing at least 50 euros with BTCGreece, the only Greece-based bitcoin exchange, open only to Greeks, rose by 400% between May and June. With Bitcoin having surged from $238 to $268 in the last few days since Greek PM Tsipras announced Greferendum, it is clear it's not just the Greeks that are losing faith in faith-based fiat currencies.

FBI Admits 11 Attacks Against Internet, Power Grid Lines In California This YearSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/03/2015 20:30 -0400
On Tuesday, someone broke into an underground vault in Sacramento, and cut several high-capacity internet cables. Nobody knows who this person is or why they did it, but since that time the FBI has revealed that it was not an isolated incident. They've been investigating 10 other recent attacks on the internet infrastructure of California, and they seem to be deeply troubled by the vulnerability of these cables.

BofA's Dire Prediction: Only Direct Government Buying Can Save China Stocks NowSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/03/2015 19:55 -0400
Even after this somewhat catastrophic drop, BofAML warns the Chinese market looks expensive. Deleveraging is likely far from over, they add, concluding that the market is a "falling knife" and only direct buying by the government will mark the bottom. As Deutsche adds, "so large are the losses for the 20 million accounts opened from mid-April to mid-June that in aggregate no money has been made for 2 years."

Barack Obama Tells Another Whopper - He Did Not Create 12.8 Million JobsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/03/2015 15:50 -0400
America is better off when President Obama is out on the stump bloviating and boasting rather than in Washington actively doing harm. But the whoppers he just told the students at the University of Wisconsin are beyond the pale. Said our spinmeister-in-chief: "And the unemployment rate is now down to 5.3 percent. (Applause.) Keep in mind, when I came into office it was hovering around 10 percent. All told, we've now seen 64 straight months of private sector job growth, which is a new record — (applause) — new record — 12.8 million new jobs all told." That's a pack of context-free factoids.

RANsquawk Weekend in Focus Video - Could the Greek referendum trigger a Grext?Submitted by RANSquawk Video on 07/03/2015 15:34 -0400
The referendum on Sunday will likely have a significant impact on the prospects of Greece reaching a new bailout agreement and the immediate future of the governing Syriza party. Following the expiration of the second bailout and the missed IMF repayment on 30th June, Greece has had to impose capital controls while negotiations between the country and its creditors have been put on hold until after the referendum. Eurozone officials have indicated that a "No" vote would likely mean a Greek exit from the currency union although the Greek government sees the vote as only pertaining to the terms of a bailout programme.

US Pushed For IMF Greek Haircut Study Release After Euro 'Allies' Tried To BlockSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/03/2015 14:40 -0400
The timing of the release of The IMF's 'Greece needs a debt haircut no matter what' report this week was odd to say the least. Being as it confirmed everything the Greek government has been saying and provided the perfect ammunition for Tsipras to spin Sunday's Greferendum as a Yes/No to debt haircuts - something everyone can understand (and get behind). It is understandable then that, as Reuters reports, Greece's eurozone allies tried to block the release of the damning report this week but the Europeans were heavily outnumbered and the United States, the strongest voice in the IMF, was in favor of publication, sources said. While The IMF concluded, "Facts are stubborn. You can't hide the facts because they may be exploited," one wonders if this move merely reinforces Goldman's concpiracy theory.

Do Share Buybacks Create Value? (Spoiler Alert: No)Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/03/2015 14:40 -0400
Stock buybacks have been in the news lately, as their growing size has lead to criticism, especially from politicians who believe they contribute to economic inequality. But the simplest critique of the practice of buybacks can be made on economic grounds, in terms of value created or destroyed.

The Fourth Turning – An Interview With Neil HoweSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/03/2015 12:29 -0400
"...If the S&P500 were to come down by 50% look at the bright side. The Millennial generation can finally buy into America's future at a good price. Look at what they are facing right now: very little return on their savings and very lofty prices that they have to pay to invest in their future. So we often forget that these wrenching dislocating financial events, particularly for older generations, can create opportunities for the young, and often create space for something more durable for the times to be built. So I'll just summarize it with Schumpeter's phrase: creative destruction. That's how I prefer to see what happens in a Fourth Turning."

Ultra Slim FX Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Ultra Slim FX is a weight loss supplement with some very good ingredients and some ingredients that are completely ineffective. Rarely do we find one supplement with the right formula to naturally boost weight loss without harmful side effects. Green tea and chromium are strong ingredients with years of clinically research backing up weight loss claims. The other ingredients, however, are based more on myth than fact.
List of Ingredients
Chromium, Glucomannan, Cocoa Extract, Green Tea Extract, Hoodia Gordonii, D-Glucosamine HCL and Citrus Naringin.
Product Features
Hoodia is the first ingredient we want to approach. Hoodia, an extract of a South African cactus, hit the weight loss market with claims of severe appetite suppression. The folklore surrounding the ingredient told a story of South African hunters using the extract to stave off hunger while on a long hunt. When the weight loss industry heard the news, everyone added Hoodia to his or her supplement. What dieters do not know is authentic Hoodia is rarely exported out of South African and most supplements have no Hoodia in them at all. Clinical research has also shown no reduction in hunger when real Hoodia was consumed.
The good ingredients are there to balance out the bad. Green tea, 500 mg per serving, is a major player in the Ultra Slim FX supplement. The dose is high and it provides just enough caffeine to boost metabolism. If Ultra Slim pushed this supplement as a green tea based diet pill, they may have better support.
Chromium is also a great ingredient commonly used to regulate blood sugar levels. There has been controversy over how well chromium works for dieters, but the science behind the ingredient is strong enough for us to support its use.
We were afraid Citrus Naringin was a derivative of Bitter Orange, but it turns out the ingredient is derived from grapefruits. As a good source of bioflavonoids, we see no weight loss benefit. Ultra Slim FX sells for $19.77, far less than most weight loss supplements. There is no mention of an auto-ship program, free trial or guarantee. There are also no testimonials on the website.
- Green tea is a great ingredient for weight loss.
- Chromium can help regulate blood sugar levels and stop carbohydrate cravings.
- The price is fantastic.
- Hoodia is a gimmick ingredient that offers no weight loss support.
- No free trial.
- No testimonials.
- No guarantee.
Green tea can be purchased for less than $19.77 and that is probably what the dieter should choose in place of this supplement. Green tea is the best ingredient and without testimonials or a free trial, the dieter must trust in a manufacturer who clearly has only sales in mind.

Very impressed with this salad. I also added a sweet potato cut in to similar size pieces as the carrots and a red pepper which needed to be used up, it was delicious. I was a little concerned at the sweetness of the dressing but it really worked with the roasted veg. Oh I also added some coriander to the dressing as well as the mint. I served it with some chicken which I pan fried, yum yum.

Fans of classic rock and early heavy metal were saddened to hear of the passing of Blue Oyster Cult's Allen Lanier yesterday from heart disease at the age of 67. Lanier was a founding member of the group, playing keyboards and guitar on their seminal records of the 1970s and early '80s which blended atypical proto-metal riffing with art rock flourishes and cryptic lyrics inspired by science-fiction and fantasy novels. The group were a major concert attraction throughout the 1970s and have been cited as an influence by a diverse array of bands including first generation Australian punk rockers Radio Birdman, indie rock legends the Minutemen, metal titans Metallica, the jam band moe. and modern horror rockers Ghost B.C. Besides his work with B.O.C., Allen Lanier was an esteemed sideman and session musician, most notably contributing to albums by former-girlfriend Patti Smith and poet-turned rock singer Jim Carroll.
Allen Lanier left Blue Oyster Cult in 1985 only to re-join three years later in 1987. He ultimately retired from touring in 2006 though appeared at the band's 40th Anniversary show in New York City in November of 2012. B.O.C. guitarist and singer Buck Dharma recently appeared on That Metal Show to talk about the show, the band's early days and their lasting influence.

Chapter 6: Monday morning, Starling receives a positive reply from Crawford regarding her report. He gives her permission to go after Raspail's car, but on her own time; and she is to check with him before contacting the Raspail estate. Starling feels certain any eight-year-old evidence in Raspail's car has long since lost its value, but she appreciates Crawford allowing her to run down the lead. Given her hectic class schedule, Starling has little time to work on it. During Monday's lunch period and study break, she calls the Baltimore County Courthouse to get the probate records on Raspail's estate.

As the Frozen Custard Churns
Where I grew up there were two seasons: frozen-custard season and no-frozen-custard season. Maine summers were all about our semi-weekly trips to Hodgman's, which is open for business only from Mother's Day to Labor Day. Sitting in the back of my parents' Subaru, I knew we were halfway there when we passed the peeling wooden church.
Fast-forward to last summer, when I visited Hodgman's for the first time in years, this time accompanied by friends and fellow New Yorkers. Not much had changed. The stand still bears a sagging awning that shelters dogged customers on rainy evenings. The menu is the same, too. It features parlor standards with sprinklings of Northern parlance (jimmies) and regional specialties (like the "tin roof.")
My expectant friends plied me with questions: What's the best flavor? How are the sugar cones? What the heck is a tin roof? (A sundae topped with chocolate syrup and peanuts.) Oh, and what is frozen custard, anyway?
Recipe: Corn FrittersWith just two weeks of summer to go, we're clinging to the season with these addictive beer-battered corn fritters from Eric Warnstedt, chef/owner of Hen of the Wood in Waterbury, Vermont. The recipe employs the most satisfying stuff of hot-day dining (corn, beer, and deep-frying), so make a big batch for your end-of-summer sorrows.

Ask a Chef: Timothy Hollingsworth, What are Your Favorite Flavor Combinations?
This year's JBF Rising Star Award winner, Timothy Hollingsworth of the French Laundry, gives us some great seasonal ingredient match-ups to make the most of late summer's incredible bounty.
1. Eggplant, Mint, and Tamarind
"The sweetness of the tamarind complements the earthy flavor of the eggplant, and both are balanced by the freshness of the mint. At the French Laundry we like to apply this flavor combination to sautéed big fin squid from Japan. At home any light seafood dish would carry the flavors well."
2. Tomato, Squash, Olives, and Basil
"This combination is the epitome of late summer, when the garden is producing amazing squash, tomatoes, and basil. At the restaurant I like to confit the tomatoes, brunoise the squash, olives, and basil, and serve it all over a piece of olive oil-poached cod."
3. Grilled Bread with Tom
Eat this Word: SemifreddoWHAT? A half-frozen idea. Italian for "half-cold," semifreddo is an Italian dessert made by freezing mousseline-like custards, which are often layered with ingredients like ground amaretti, nuts, or chocolate. Unlike ice cream, semifreddo is not churned. To make it edible while frozen, air is incorporated into the custard base, usually in the form of meringue or whipped cream. The air also has the effect of making the semifreddo seem less cold than it actually is, which accounts for its name. WHERE?

Philosophy Club-Le Cafe Philosophique
Have you ever thought that humanity sleepwalks, going through the motions without being mindful, without acting independently, without challenging convention, prejudice, or the sheer stupidity of mainstream behavior? Have you ever thought about what it really means to be "connected"?
Have you ever craved the opportunity to engage in creative dialogue over real, universal concerns—life and death, love and hate, peace and war, joy and sadness? BW's "Café Philosophique," or Café-Philo for short, encourages students to get together and dare to ask challenging questions. Participants select topics and explore them together in a respectful dialogue format. The setting is casual and any and all are welcome. The main purpose of the Café-Philo is to create an atmosphere where every individual is heard and can speak freely on the day's topic. The only rule: listen respectfully to what others have to say.
The Club meets every Thursday afternoon. If you have any questions, contact the faculty advisor, Kelly Coble, email@example.com.
Members must be full-time undergraduate students of Baldwin Wallace University, and be in good standing with Baldwin Wallace University and with Le Cafe Philosophique.

If we could come up with the right airplane in roughly the 2019, 2020 timeframe, I personally feel that there's a strong argument that the market will wait for us, not withstanding the re-enginging. Most of the feedback we're getting from customers is alignment with that, but we've got to work through this year what the airplane, more precisely, will look like.
Putting our backlog at risk twice, only makes sense if the airplane wants to be developed in 2025 or beyond. I think what we're learning today about what our customers need and what technologies we have available to us, we are leaning toward development in the 2020 timeframe, but we're going to confirm that as we go through it this year, reserving the option – if we're wrong – as we go through the analysis to re-engine. But I don't think it's going to go that way.
New airplane developments, except for the possible derivatives, a [787]-10 would be an example of that, I think those interests tend to be…the derivatives would tend to be in the second half of the decade and then new airplanes would be at the end.

As of Saturday, July 28, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
LOGANVILLE -- Post 77 is just one win from playing in the American Legion baseball state tournament championship game after run-ruling Douglasville 13-3 in seven innings on Saturday at West Walton Park.
Rockdale took the double-digit win by playing well on defense, out-hitting Douglasville and taking advantage of its opponents mistakes.
"They helped us a good bit. The score should've been like 7-3 or something like that. We've been taking advantage of teams at state. When they make a mistake we pick up on it and add a little bit to it (score)," Rockdale manager Jack Murphy said. "It seems to get our guys up."
An error that showed Douglasville's mental state occurred in the sixth inning. On a double steal attempt, Randy Loew was able to score from third base after a poor throw by the Douglasville catcher. On the same play, Cody Wofford headed to second base on the steal and third base on the throw before heading home when the Douglasville left fielder let his head get out of the game.
"The left fielder looked a little lackadaisical and I just tried to take advantage of it. I figured if he was just lollygagging around I had enough speed to get there (home)," Wofford said. "I knew it was going to be close, I was hoping I got in there."
Rockdale put three more runs on the board in the third inning as a result of a couple of errors.
Even though the Douglasville errors helped Rockdale end the game early, it scored more than enough runs on their own to get the win. Rockdale had 12 hits while giving up five hits. Former Eastside player Keith Buckhault led Post 77 going 3-for-4 including a double. Getting two hits for Rockdale were Cole Murphy and Robert Bell. Murphy and Bell had the other extra-base hits with Murphy getting a double and Bell going yard.
After Rockdale made a few errors of their own in the bottom of the third to allow Douglasville to close the score to 4-3, Bell cleared the left-field wall to make it 6-3 before Buckhault had an RBI single to give Post 77 a four-run lead.
It looked like Rockdale was going to have to dig deep into the pitching when Matt Anderson got in trouble in the bottom of the fourth when he walked three batters to load the bases. But Rockdale's defense was able to get the final out before any runs crossed the plate.
"I was saying this next hitter is his last hitter and he got him out, that's why he stayed in," the manager said. "We really needed to get five innings out of our starter. If you start having to get into your pitching then come Monday you've used everyone in the tournament and you don't have any fresh arms (for championship)."
If Rockdale can beat the winner of the Lee County/Dawsonville game today at 1 p.m., it will be in the championship game Monday at 1 p.m. A loss puts Rockdale back on the field at 4 p.m. in a must-win situation in the double elimination tournament. While Rockdale has won its first two games by run-rule, Murphy is not taking any game lightly.
"I've been here lots of times and I've got zero state championships to show for it," he said. "I've been doing this since 1989. I've finished second like eight times. I feel like the Buffalo Bills of American Legion baseball."

Yes. You may call the center to schedule an appointment for the same day. Walk-ins will also be accommodated.
What do I do if I need healthcare services when the Health Center is closed?
Eckerd College is fortunate to be in an urban area with many health related resources close to campus. Walgreen's operates a "Take Care Clinic" walk-in medical clinic approximately six miles from campus that is open seven days a week. Urgent and emergency services are provided through local hospitals and emergency rooms. If you have a healthcare need when the Health Center is closed, please contact Campus Safety & Security (ext. 8260) or your Resident Advisor (RA). They can direct you to the medical care you need.
How does the taxi voucher system work?
Eckerd College has an arrangement with Bat's Taxi in St. Petersburg to provide transportation for off-campus medical care. You may pick up a taxi voucher from the Health Center, Counseling Services, the Dean of Students Office, Campus Safety, or the Front Gate. The voucher system allows students to receive transportation from Bat's Taxi and have charges billed directly to your account (or E-bill). You need not have any cash available when using the voucher system. The voucher system is not designed to provide urgent or immediate care, so please plan accordingly when requesting a taxi voucher, as a wait may be required.
What kinds of things does the Health Center treat?
Health Center Nurse Practitioners provide services for a wide range of medical concerns, including the flu, cough and cold symptoms, upper respiratory disorders, gastro-intestinal disorders and nausea, injuries/bruises, bacterial infections, rashes and pain. Nurse Practitioners also provide routine physical exams, well-women exams and gynecological services, sexual health testing for sexually transmitted diseases, vaccines for living in the residence halls or traveling abroad, and assist with refilling prescriptions from your healthcare provider at home. Nurse Practitioners, in consultation with Counseling Services, also provide medication treatment for emotional concerns. For those times when a physician's services are needed the Center will schedule an appointment for you to see either Dr. Salud or Dr. Lefkowitz onsite.
Can Nurse Practitioners write prescriptions?
Yes, Nurse Practitioners can write prescriptions for most medications.

ATLANTA (AP) - A new government survey shows 12 states now have very high obesity rates.
Overall, more than a third of adults are obese but rates vary by state. The latest figures are based on a 2011 telephone survey that asked adults their height and weight. For the first time, households with only cell phones were included.
State rates remained about the same although states with very high rates went from nine to 12. At least 30 percent of adults are obese in Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and West Virginia.
Colorado was lowest, at just under 21 percent, and Mississippi was highest at nearly 36 percent.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the figures Monday.

MOUNT CARMEL — The fire in Mount Carmel started around 6 p.m. Wednesday. One person was home at the time and says all he remembers is running upstairs, seeing flames and quickly running out.
The Casiano family stood on the street outside their home, waiting for the state police fire marshal to finish sifting through the fire-damaged building. The night before, fire at the row home along North Locust Street in Mount Carmel forced Joshua Casiano to get out quickly.
"I just saw the flames, I went upstairs and saw the house on fire, and then I ran," says Joshua Casiano.
Neighbors say once the fire started going, it got very smoky, very fast. Some worried it would spread next door.
"I just saw smoke coming across because it started coming across the vent, and I thought maybe flames were going to start working this way," says neighbor Rick Whary.
The fire chief says although it took firefighters about 30 minutes to get the blaze under control, they were able to stop it from spreading to attached homes. Firefighters stopped it from spreading to five other nearby homes. The chief says one firefighter breathed in too much smoke and had chest pains. He was sent to hospital.
The Casiano family says it could have been a lot worse, and are thankful, it wasn't.
"The first thing I said was 'my son he's okay?' After he told me yes, I said 'is my grandson okay, his mother?' Yes they are okay, the rest is material, it can all be replaced," said Joshua's father, Miguel Casiano.
A state police fire marshal tells Newswatch 16, the blaze started with an electrical problem. The family is staying with relatives.

A new flavor of Google Trends
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
The latest version of Google Trends is now live! If you've used it in the past, you know that Google Trends can be used to see how popular certain search terms are across geographic regions, cities, and languages. With our latest update, you can now see numbers on the graph download to a spreadsheet. (Note: Both these functions are available after you've signed in to your Google Account.)
Let's walk through an example of how these nifty new features come into play. With the hot summer months rapidly approaching in many parts of the world, many of us turn to the frosty treat of ice cream to cool off. But have you ever wondered which flavor people search for more frequently: vanilla or chocolate?
First, let's take a look at the searches for vanilla ice cream and chocolate ice cream separately. Here's what vanilla looks like on its own:
You'll notice a number at the top of the graph as well as on the y-axis of the graph itself. These numbers don't refer to exact search-volume figures. Instead, in the same way that a map might "scale" to a certain size, Google Trends scales the first term you've entered so that its average search volume is 1.00 in the chosen time period. So in the example above, 1.00 is the average search volume of vanilla ice cream from 2004 to present. We can then see a spike in mid-2006 which crosses the 3.00 line, indicating that search traffic is approximately 3 times the average for all years. Read more about how we scale the data.
Here's what chocolate looks like on its own:
Let's look at how vanilla compares with chocolate. Keep in mind that when you compare multiple terms, they'll all be scaled relative to the first term you've entered.
Google Trends is not only a fun tool; it also offers some practical uses as well. Suppose you own an ice cream shop and don't know which flavors to serve, or suppose you're responsible for stocking supermarkets across the country; Trends can help you explore the popularity and seasonality of your products. To conduct your own, more detailed analyses, you can now easily export Trends data to a .csv file (a common format to import/export data), which can be opened in most spreadsheet applications. When you use the export function, you'll also have the choice of using either relative scaling (what we've shown here) or fixed scaling (scaled to a specific time range).
We hope you enjoy this new flavor of Google Trends. And of course, we want to know: which flavor of ice cream do you like best?

Private Wireless Router Configuration and Policy
Configuration Instructions
Personal Wireless Router Policy
Personal wireless routers are NOT allowed in buildings that have wireless coverage, but are supported in other buildings. Please refer to our wireless page for a list of buildings that have wireless coverage.
It is college policy that faculty, staff and students who choose to install "private" Wireless Access Points (WAPs) and routers on the college network must register, connect, and configure these devices according to college guidelines. This policy is designed to protect the security of the shared college network and to minimize interference with the college's wireless network.
Faculty, staff and students are responsible for operating "private" wireless access points/routers in such a way that they do not interfere with the operation of the college's network. The Information Technology (IT) department does not provide support for "private" wireless access points, routers, or networks. If this equipment interferes in any way with the college network, the corresponding network port/jack will be disconnected in accordance with the college's policy on Ethical Use of Computing and Information Resources and Privileges.
The individual who sets up a "private" wireless access point, router, or network is responsible for the online activities of those individuals using that network device. If disciplinary action is necessary based on Internet traffic coming from that network device, the individual who set up the private network is held responsible.
Routers (wired or wireless)
Because most wireless access points also function as routers, there is no need for or benefit to using personal routers on campus. The college attempts to provide a network jack/port for every person in every residence hall room. However, if the room does not have a jack/port for each person, IT provides switches at no cost to students.
Steps for Connecting a WAP or Router to the Network
Configure the wireless access point as follows (IT cannot provide specific instructions because every device is different):
- Plug into your wireless router and connect to its web interface page. In most cases, it will either be http://192.168.0.1, http://192.168.1.1, or http://192.168.2.1. If you don't know the username and/or password, you can usually look up the documentation on the web for your router's model to find the default username and password.
- Generally, wireless routers come with a default WPA key. It is fine to use the default key or you can change it if you like. Ensure you are using a WEP, WPA, or WPA2 key and that it has been enabled. WPA2 is the best option. WPA and WEP are acceptable. Do not set a password that is the same as your college password. This way you can share it with your roommate and friends if you like.
- Change the WAP/Router manager or admin password to something other than the manufacturer's default. This should never be the same as your WPA or WEP key or any of your Beloit College passwords.
- Turn off DHCP or NAT (Network Address Translation). Note: You will lose connectivity after doing this. Plug your Ethernet cable in from the wall to one of the standard ports on the hub (NOT the uplink port). This allows IT to serve DHCP through your hub to any devices that connect to it.
- Follow the process required for the Policy on Computers Connected to the Beloit College Network
- Register each computer to the network through the Beloit College Network Registration page
The alternate option is to let your wireless hub serve your computer with its own DHCP or NAT addresses. If you do this, you should not share the connection with other students. If you do share your connection (not recommended), all traffic of other students will be registered under your name and you will be responsible for their network traffic. Furthermore, they will be consuming your network bandwidth quota.
If you have problems getting these steps to work, bring your wireless router to IT in Mayer Hall along with your laptop and we will assist in getting it working for you.
Note: If wireless access points are set up in adjacent or nearby rooms, they may interfere with each other and reduce the Internet performance of both. IT is not responsible for these conflicts.
Assistance and Questions
If you have any questions or need more information, please contact IT Support.
