Volunteers Donnell Schubring, left, and Jolene Zannino, both of Wausau, distribute bowls on a table during Saturday's Empty Bowls fundraiser at the Rothschild Pavilion.
- Filed Under
A new venue and damp, chilly weather didn't keep diners away from Saturday's Empty Bowls soup fundraiser for The Neighbors' Place food pantry in Wausau.
The event moved to the Rothschild Pavilion after its former host site, The Rose Garden banquet hall in Wausau, closed earlier this year.
More than 1,000 people packed the pavilion Saturday, choosing from among nearly 30 soup offerings donated by local restaurants, churches and individuals, and taking home handcrafted bowls to remind them of other people's needs. ...

Latrobe boys soccer 'can't wait' to become playoff contender
TribLIVE Sports Videos
After years of mediocre-to-poor seasons, the Latrobe boys soccer team can't wait to turn things around.
In the past, the Wildcats might have dreaded matchups against the WPIAL elite.
Now? Can't wait.
Unlike at times in other years, Latrobe is looking forward to practices and games.
The Wildcats can't wait.
A program that hasn't had a winning season in nine years, hasn't qualified for the WPIAL playoffs since the early '90s and went 3-12-1 last year, Latrobe believes it is turning a significant corner in building a winner.
"We want to change the culture," senior co-captain Matt Wano said. "That's what we're trying to do. Usually, Latrobe is OK with losing all their section games except maybe one or two of them. Being OK with being blown out is not how it's supposed to be. Every game is supposed to be competitive. And we are more competitive with our new coach."
Harry Corvese is in his second season after a year as an assistant. He is looking at the big picture in building a program from the youth level on up.
"Harry's been a big difference," Wano said. "It's hot and cold the season before him and the season with him. We're really lucky to have him. I hope he stays as long as he can here because he's become the cornerstone of the team."
Latrobe entered the week 3-4-1 after sweeping two games at the Ligonier Valley Tournament Saturday, beating Ligonier Valley and Greensburg Salem by a combined 10-0.
Although Latrobe is only 1-4 in Section 1-AAA play, Corvese noted that defeats to powerhouses such as Penn-Trafford, Norwin, Kiski and Franklin Regional have been much more competitive than they were in the past two years.
"We couldn't be more satisfied with way we are working," Corvese said. "Latrobe's been a program on the rise for the last 20 years or so it's been since it made the playoffs.
"That's our goal we're working for. That starts with being excited for a big freshman class. Twelve freshmen came in this year who we'll look to develop the next four years. We think we'll really start to get competitive here in the next two years."
You could say the Wildcats "can't wait" until they are.
That's become something of a rallying cry for the "new" Latrobe boys soccer.
"The kids have a great attitude about them," Corvese said. "What we've been saying is, 'Can't wait.' We can't wait to get out there and work, can't wait to play against our tough section teams."
"It's just to get motivated," Wano said. "You can't wait to get out and play. All day in school, you're sitting there thinking about soccer, it's the No. 1 thing on your mind. You can't wait to play the next game, can't wait to go to practice."
A primary point of emphasis in many of those practices is ball possession. Led by Corvese, Latrobe envisions its ascension to being a playoff-level program.
"A foundation of keeping the ball and making every pass positive and productive," Corvese said. "Trying to make the game beautiful and not just a big game of kickball."
Senior strikers Brett Baughman and Nick Shannon are back after missing last season due to injury. Joining Wano, a fullback, as team captains are senior goalkeeper Gian Prosperi and senior midfielder Caleb Jackson.
Other returning starters for the Wildcats include junior Nick Tavella, junior defender Seth Leeper and sophomore midfielder Coby Green. Senior Kevin Davoli also is a returning starter but is out with injury.

First Coast News
JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Are you looking for a different type of dinner atmosphere? Mystery Dinner Theater is on the First Coast at Professor Plum's Playhouse. This is an interactive experience. The actors perform while you eat.
The owner, David Warber, writes some of the plays and buys some. He opened Professor Plum's in April 2005. He says, "I always wanted to open a restaurant. I've been in the restaurant business since I was 16." He also loves to act, something he's been doing for years. Warber says he knows it's hard to keep a restaurant open, so he decided to have something different.
He hires actors and directors from the area. Dorrie Smith describes performing at the dinner theater her hobby. "It's a mutual thing. The more the crowd gets into it, we feed off of them and do better."
The actors are right in front of the audience. They go from table to table performing. Because it's interactive (the audience is often a part of the performance), many of the actors say it improves their improvisational skills.
They put on a different play every six weeks. Right now, they are starring in "The Makeover Murders." The plays may not be for everyone. Warber says they are rated PG or PG-13.
Another actor, Fred Gatlin says, "It's fun (being involved)." He was in the restaurant one night and decided he wanted to be apart of it. He auditioned and as they say "the rest is history." This is the sixth show he's has been in at the playhouse.
Professor Plum's Playhouse is open every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The doors open at 6 p.m. and close at 7:45 p.m. The show and dinner start at 8.

|Experimental diabetes modulates collagen remodelling of joints in rats.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23018246 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|RESULTS: Higher blood glucose levels and plasma anti-carboxymethyllysine were observed in DG rats when compared to those in CG rats. The final weight was significantly lower in the DG rats than in the CG rats. Histomorphometric evaluation depicted a small quantity of collagen fibers in ligaments and articular cartilage in DG rats, as well as increased collagen in synovial tissue. There was a decrease in cartilage proteoglycans in DG rats when compared with CG rats. Immunofluorescence staining revealed an increase of collagen III and V in ligaments, collagen XI in cartilage, and collagen I in synovial tissue of DG rats compared with CG rats.
CONCLUSION: The ligaments, cartilage and synovia are highly affected following STZ-induced diabetes in rats, due the remodeling of collagen types in these tissues. This process may promote the degradation of the extracellular matrix, thus compromising joint function. Our data may help to better understand the pathogenesis of joint involvement related to diabetes.

Oxford shoes and combat boots are my favorite kinds of shoes I either wear heels or these there is no in between.
The problem I came across was finding specific colors and when I did they were usually way to pricy for my liking and therefore ruined the flavor of the shoes.
Then on Esty I came across a shop called Golden Ponies, where they actually customize shoes just for you!
I can pick colors from gold and mustard yellow to red and pastel pink.
I mean I think my dreams just came true and at such a affordable price. I think I'm going to buy some for every outfit I have.
They also do bags and purses and satchels, so your bag can match your shoes.
My life is complete.

Dear Drink Pouch Brigade Program Participant,
I write you directly as the CEO of TerraCycle with an update in regards to the recent changes to the incentive program for the Drink Pouch Brigade. Three months ago we communicated to you that the minimum pouch shipment to receive one point (convertible to $0.01 per point) for the number of pouches per box will be increased to 1,000 and the minimum to receive two points per pouch will be increased to 5,000 starting March 31st 2012.
During this 90-day period you told us that the weight of a 5,000 pouch box, which is just under 50 lbs and can be transported via UPS, was difficult for you to move around. Also that the box needed for such a large shipment, such as a TV box or bicycle box while they are out there, were hard for you to find.
To accommodate these challenges, both my team at TerraCycle and the team at Capri Sun would like to share with you the revisions to the Drink Pouch shipment size requirements. All shipments received as of April 1st, 2012 through the Drink Pouch Brigade Program will be awarded as follows:
0 to 1,000 pouches per shipment: 0 points per pouch
1,001 to 2,000 pouches per shipment: 1 point per pouch (or $0.01 per pouch)
2,001 to 5,000 pouches per shipment: 2 points per pouch (or $0.02 per pouch)
5,001+ pouches per shipment: 3 points per pouch (or $0.03 per pouch)
Since the goal of our Brigades is to help recycle and upcycle as much non-recyclable waste as possible, Capri Sun has been gracious enough to extend an extra point (total of three per pouch) for shipments that are received above 5,000 pouches. This equates to an extra $50 per shipment and reduces the carbon emissions per pouch within that shipment.
Our customer service team is here to help. A "Collect, Store and Ship Guide" (available for download here) has been produced to enable you cleanly collect larger shipments in order for you to take advantage of the larger donation levels. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact our customer service department at 1-866-967-6766.
Together we have built a national system that is actively collecting and recycling/upcycling about 7% of the drink pouches produced every year in the US. Our vision is that over the next ten years we can grow the Drink Pouch Brigade to such a size that we are recycling the same percentage of drink pouches as soda bottles in the US (currently around 25% of all soda bottles are recycled). Together, Capri Sun, the team at TerraCycle and myself thank you for your support and commitment both to the Drink Pouch Brigade and leading the way towards a more sustainable future.

Delving deeper into Jconsole and VisualVm
Jconsole and visual VM help monitor java applications in any environment. Here are a few additional details that can help you monitor your java applications better
Jconsole and permissions:
Jconsole lists the PIDs of local java applications when you start it. But what if there are java applications that are running under a different user ? Jconsole will not display those java PIDs that do not belong to the user who started Jconsole. The JConsole FAQ lists a few troubleshooting tips to get around this problem. You can alternatively expose the Jconsole connection through a remote port using the -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port property. Securing the remote JMX URL with a username and password should do the trick.
Viewing Jconsole / JMC Beans with VisualVm:
While it is great that you can profile your applications on VisualVm, some users miss some of the features provided by Jconsole such as viewing JMX beans etc. You can use the Tools -> Plugins option in VisualVm to install Jconsole / Jmx or related plugins. There is of course the option of writing a custom plugin to display more information. This article already explains how to go about writing a custom plugin.
OQL Plugin:
There are some cool plugins on the way for visual VM. One of them is support for OQL syntax. The language allows you to go through objects on the heap based on a selection criteria. You can use jhat and jmap to get a feel for what the language is like. The syntax is already supported on the existing heap dump analyzers.
Switching on jconsole monitoring in production is a bad idea. The article linked on the last sentence made a performance comparison around 2006, so here is a more recent comparison running a java program which solves the FoxSequence problem (a problem at topcoder.com) 1000000 times. The overhead is highlighted by the orange area. The difference represents overhead in milli seconds.
The average overhead comes to around ~7% when calculated across several trials. The question to ask though is '7% of what ?'. For applications that take on huge traffic, an overhead of 7% spread across millions of transactions is costly. The overhead % itself may vary for your application based on a variety of factors.
Take these factors into consideration the next time you profile / monitor java apps.

Chartiers Valley's diesel fuel contract to save money
How would you like to pay $2.86 a gallon for gas?
"I think most people would want that (deal) now," said Nick Morelli, business director at Chartiers Valley School District.
Chartiers Valley is one of 22 school districts paying that amount — not for regular gasoline, but for the diesel fuel its buses use. The contract runs until June 30, 2013.
In 2011-12, Chartiers Valley paid $3.14 a gallon for diesel fuel.
This marks a savings of 45 cents a gallon, money that will go toward purchases in other parts of the budget, Morelli said.
"We are obviously very excited about it. Anytime you can save money like that, it is something to be grateful and excited about," said Morelli, a member of the Allegheny Intermediate Consortium Committee.
This is the committee that solicited multiple bids for the diesel fuel contract, and eventually locked into a contract with Petroleum Trader Corp. of Indiana, Pa., for $286,000.
Forty-five area school districts are members of the Allegheny Intermediate Unit Consortium; however, only 22 purchase diesel fuel.
The AIU buys more than 3 million gallons of diesel fuel a year, Morelli said. Of that, Chartiers Valley buys about 100,000 gallons for its 57 buses.
Forty-three of the buses transport 72 students, and 14 are passenger vans that can carry 24 students, Morelli said.
Although he was not specific, Superintendent Brian White said he is looking forward to using the extra money for "instructional purposes."
"That's what we want to do with it. It will go straight there," White said last week.
The Allegheny Intermediate Unit Consortium will begin looking at the gas price trends again at the beginning of the year, Morelli said. Bids will be sought sometime in May.

Toddlers' pointing when joint attention is obstructed
Franco, Fabia and Gagliano, Antonino (2001) Toddlers' pointing when joint attention is obstructed. First Language, 21 (63). pp. 289-321. ISSN 0142-7237
Official URL: http://fla.sagepub.com/content/vol21/issue63/
This item is available in the Library Catalogue
The aim of this study was to examine toddlers' ability to take their social partner's line of sight into account when engaging in joint attention. If pointing involves an understanding of the relationship between seeing and knowing, then specific modifications in communication should appear when joint attention is obstructed. In this study, obstacles were introduced in order to manipulate object visibility for the toddler's social partner. Thirty-two toddlers aged 18-23, 24-29, and 30-36 months were tested with an adult social partner and two animated clown mannequins.

I know it sounds a bit ridiculous, a grown man having difficulty folding his own clothes, but until two weeks ago I was one of those men. My life didn't depend on my clothes being folded or not, I guess it wasn't important to me. However, as you will find out, it is important to my wife.
Okay, so this won't be about how you can get your husband to fold his clothes, because sadly, he will only change if he wants to. Maybe send this blog onto him.
Here's the story and how it relates to weight loss
I have a massive armoire in my bedroom. One side is mine. My wife is really good to me; she folds my clothes and puts them in my side of the armoire. That's not the problem. The problem is; I can't keep them folded. Over the course of the week I will slowly stuff my clothes in the armoire until there is absolutely no resemblance of order.
She can be standing with a nice folded pair of jeans and wonder if she should put them on top of my self-created mountain of clothes or throw them in like I do.
Two weeks ago she looked at me, looked at my pile of stuffed clothes, then looked back at me and said "Wow, that's a pigsty, do you want me to clean it for you?" I told her "Here's the issue; I have too much respect for you and if you decide to clean it I'm going to have to keep it that way; I don't know if I'm ready for that"
The next day I thought that I was being a bit cowardly, so I decided today is the day. I sheepishly approached her and said "Okay, you can clean it, but I want to say one more thing, I have too much respect for you, so if you clean it I will keep it clean"
The pile of clothes, motivation, and weight loss
I know where I could have failed. I could have told my wife that I would keep it clean, or set a goal for myself that I would keep my clothes folded for three weeks..that's how long it takes to create a habit right?
I decided to have a higher sense of motivation. Something that is intrinsic to me, something that would work for me for the long term. See, my wife is meant to protect my security, if I failed at folding my clothes she really wouldn't be terribly hurt, she would probably sigh and think to herself…"Typical" But I didn't want that to happen, I actually wanted to get myself to keep it clean.
My higher sense of motivation was tied to something greater than folded clothes, something that is part of me, I respect my wife, I have no reason not to. I also married a woman who I know will give me no reason not to lose that respect.
So I tied my goal to that…I linked folded clothes with respect for my wife. Now when I see my clothes I see respect for my wife not a duty or a chore.
Weight loss and folded clothes
My folded clothes journey can't be about the end product; folded clothes. It has to be about something greater. I will continue to fold my clothes for the rest of my life (okay I hope she didn't read that). The folded clothes is much like weight loss. I want all my clients to eat healthy, exercise, and get fit forever. If it's about the scale you may not be able to do it for a lifetime. If I exercise and eat well because of its impact on my kids, I might just do it forever.
When you set a goal of weight loss, and you want it to do it the healthy way, what will motivate you? What could you tie your goal to? Something that is already within you. When you find that motivator, you won't have to work so hard at it.
I don't need willpower to respect my wife. It runs on automatic. I needed willpower to fold my clothes until I linked it to something already intrinsic. It's the same reason why I'm not late for meetings, or why I always show up to work on time, or why I exercise. I may not want to show up to work sometimes but I always do, there are too many powerful motivators that help me do that.
What motivator would help you lose weight? Maybe its teaching your kids how to eat healthy, or maybe you told someone you were going to get healthy, now you have to protect being a person of your word?
If you have any ideas you want to spread, comment and let us know what intrinsic motivator you have tied your weight loss to!

The simlock unlocking code for Alcatel One Touch along with a manual will be sent to the e-mail address you provide in the order form.
Unlock » Alcatel » One Touch
Step 3/4: Send order form:
Find your phone`s IMEI - From your phone`s dial screen, enter the following code: *#06#
Provider ID - this number should looks like XXXX-XXXXXXX eg. 6030X-2ARGPL3, 991T-2ATBDE2
1. To find your Provider ID, look at the sticker located under the battery:

How to enter Unlock Code on Alcatel One Touch?
Insert an unacceptable SIM card to locked phone
Now phone should ask unlock code eg:
- Enter Network Key
- Enter SIM ME Lock
- SIM Network Unlock PIN
Easy just enter code.
What does remote unlocking stand for?
Based on the phone's data, such as: the brand and model, its IMEI serial number and the network of the service provider it is locked for, a unique unlocking code for Alcatel One Touch is generated. After inputting the unlock code on the phone's keypad the simlock is disabled. The remote unlocking mechanism does not require any cables or additional software. Remote simlock unlocking is the simplest method of removing the SIMLOCK lock.
Is removing SIMLOCKS safe?
Disabling the simlock by entering a unique unlocking code on the phone's keypad is an option introduced by the manufacturer, hence - a checked, safe and efficient method. Our Alcatel One Touch unlocking process is easy to use and simple. This is the same method used by networks and carriers.
Why does one disable a phone's SIMLOCK?
The limitation has been implemented in the mobile phone in such a way, that it can operate with SIM cards of only one specific service provider. Remote unlocking Alcatel One Touch phone with the use of a code disables this protection and extends the usability of a phone, thus making it possible to use SIM cards of all networks' service providers from all over the world.

The continued intimidation attacks on the Chick-Fil-A company with "indignant" mayors joining in the fray are the mark of a dying or collapsing society.
The crime committed? It is saying that actual marriage is the husband and wife pair that make up the father-mother-child nuclear family, the basic building block or cornerstone of a functioning society that can produce another being for the next generation that will allow that society to continue to exist. The further crime was to say that other combinations are not marriage. Yes, there is what is called common law marriage, but that does not seem to be part of the argument.
The battle over the overall subject has so permeated the way people think that 5-year-olds must be taught that it is normal as are public school students in California in their history classes.
Guess intimidation wins out.

ATLANTA -- Police said an SUV with a child inside was recovered after being stolen Thursday morning in northwest Atlanta.
It happened just before 8 a.m. near the intersection of Bolton Road and Marietta Boulevard.
Atlanta Police Officer Kim Jones said Hillary Grotewold was putting air in the tires of her GMC Terrain at a RaceTrac station at the corner of Bolton and Marietta when someone hopped into the car and drove off. Grotewold's 4-year-old son was in the back seat.
Jones said the suspect abandoned the vehicle at a nearby CVS Pharmacy when he realized there was a child in the back.
The suspect was described as a black male with a gray hat and gray backpack. Jones said he took Grotewold's purse and iPhone.

Corn is such an important part of our daily lives; we eat it, feed it to livestock, make fuel and oil from it; it is a substance in plastics, papers, medicines and many, many other everyday products. We forget its humble beginnings.
Corn is a tropical plant, first domesticated about 7,000 years ago in what is now central Mexico. The early domesticated corn looked much different from those giant cobs we enjoy on the 4th of July. Small grassy seed heads fed countless people in Mesoamerica as the domesticated corn traveled from central Mexico to as far south as Peru and to the southwestern part of North America. And, there it remained for thousands of years.
Just over a thousand years ago, Woodland Indians from the Ohio River Valley began to migrate west and north, following the great rivers through the plains. They brought corn with them and settled along a small creek in what is now South Dakota. Prior to their arrival at this location, corn did not grow much farther north than Missouri. These people, the ancestors of the Mandan Indians, were able to do something that modern science has not improved upon: they were able to take this wonderful tropical food plant and adapt it to the very short growing season of the upper plains. By the time Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World in the late 1400s, corn was growing as far north as southern Canada.
Although the inhabitants of the Prehistoric Indian Village had been able to adapt the corn to grow here, it was still quite small. And that is what makes this story all the more impressive. At any given time during the history of this village, there were up to 200 people living here relying on just a few basic food sources. Hunters brought in game such as deer, bison, birds and fish. The farmers raised several crops: beans, squash, sunflower, amaranth and, most importantly, corn. The corn ears were not much bigger than a man's thumb, yet these people had to raise enough to sustain them until the following year's harvest.
This story, then, becomes one of not just a people who were able to develop a corn that would grow in such a short growing season but of a people who were growing corn and other crops on such a large scale that they could not be called "primitive" farmers. While they did succeed for a time, ultimately they were forced to move on, perhaps after depleting this area of natural resources.

BATON ROUGE -- Home-schooled students should be allowed to participate in public junior high and high school athletics if they can make the team and the grades, a majority of state senators said Thursday.
With a 22-15 vote, the Senate sent back to the House a much-amended HB531 by Rep. Cameron Henry, D-New Orleans.
The bill no longer would allow participation at non-public schools, as passed by the House, only applies to athletics and not all extracurricular activities, and exempts some school systems. Also, the affected students could apply to participate in sports only at the schools they would normally attend if they were in public schools.
In handling Henry's bill in the Senate, Sen. Jack Donahue, R-Mandeville, said it was only fair to allow home-schooled students to try out for teams because their parents pay taxes to support public schools.
Donahue said all students participating in sports would have to meet the same academic standards -- at least a 1.5 grade-point average -- and pass courses.
That generated a discussion about the possibility of parents "doctoring" their students' grades to make them eligible.
Sen. Nick Gautreaux, D-Meaux, got the Senate to unanimously approve an amendment that would penalize parents who falsified records and the schools that benefited from an ineligible player.
"This makes it unlawful for a home-schooled student to submit false grades," Gautreaux said. The student would be banned from further participation and the school would suffer the same Louisiana High School Athletic Association penalty for any ineligible player -- cancellation of any victories while the student was playing.
"Yes, they have grades," Gautreaux said.
Like public school students, home-schoolers take a core curriculum, are graded each week on their progress and take standardized tests administered by certified teachers, he said.
"And they can be awarded TOPS" scholarships, Gautreaux said
Sen. B.L. "Buddy" Shaw, R-Shreveport, pleaded with the Senate not to approve the bill.
"I do not believe it is appropriate to put this on the public school system," he said. "They chose not to go to a public school."
Shaw said the students who attend public schools are loyal to their schools, and people in the grandstands at athletic events support them because they are part of the school. Home-schooled students who are allowed to participate in sports would only have a few people cheering for them.
The Senate rejected 22-10 Shaw's attempt to get Caddo and Bossier parishes and the section of Bossier Parish that is in his senatorial district removed from the bill.
Sen. Jody Amedee, D-Gonzales, tried to get the Senate to increase the GPA requirement to 2.0 for all students, as proposed in failed legislation by Lafayette Rep. Rickey Hardy.
"We're either going to be serious about education or not," Amedee said.
Sen. Julie Quinn, R-Metairie, led the opposition to that proposal on the grounds that it would make some students ineligible and they might drop out of school.
Amedee withdrew the amendment.
HB531 now goes back to the House for concurrence in Senate amendments.

Middletown is considering amending its tree preservation ordinance to allow logging on larger tracts of land in the city.
The tree preservation law, passed in 2010, requires a property owner to apply for a permit from the city to remove more than five live trees a year that are 6 inches in diameter or larger. The law was passed because some developers had removed more trees than necessary.
The proposed logging provision would allow owners of large tracts of land to harvest trees on their property. ...

MA in Medical Sciences: Application Questions
Answers to Common Applicant Questions
When is the application deadline?
July 1 is the deadline for receipt of all application materials and July 15 is the final deadline to accept admission to the program. Because a rolling admissions process is used, and a very large number of applications are received by the program, we strongly urge applicants to apply as early as possible in order to secure their seat.
My total GPA is below 3.0, will my application be considered?
No, the minimum cumulative GPA for admission to the program is a 3.0. Applications with lower GPAs will not be reviewed and exceptions will not be made.
Do I have to take the GRE or the MCAT?
You must take the MCAT. The absolute minimum score for consideration is 25 for the old MCAT and 500 with the confidence band for the new MCAT. Applications with lower MCAT scores will not be reviewed and exceptions will not be made. Other test scores are not used in admission deliberations.
Do I need to have my AMCAS application sent to Loyola?
Yes. If you have completed an AMCAS application in the last three years it is required that you submit it as part of your MAMS application package.
May I submit a committee evaluation letter?
Yes. If you already have a medical school application/AMCAS assembled, please use as much of it as possible when applying to the MA in Medical Sciences program.
May I submit updated materials for my application file?
We gladly accept relevant updates (additional transcripts, new MCAT scores, letters of recommendation) to your file. Please forward any updates to email@example.com.
I submitted materials to Stritch, do I need to submit them to MAMS?
Yes. The Stritch School of Medicine, although part of Loyola University Chicago, is a separate School. They cannot legally release your application information to us.
Can MAMS staff tell me the status of my application by phone or e-mail?
NO, MAMS staff cannot provide you with updates about your application. Students who are unsure if their application is complete should contact GPEM (Graduate and Professional Enrollment Management) by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by phone at 312.915.8950.
Are scholarships or financial aid available?
Limited tuition scholarships based primarily on need may be available for enrolled MAMS students. A separate MAMS scholarship application is sent to accepted & enrolled applicants only. In addition to need, the applicant's service record in clinical volunteering, social justice activities, and academic performance will be considered in the final decision. Candidates applying for scholarships need to complete their full financial aid application. All applicants need to complete the FAFSA (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/)to determine their financial need. Please visit http://www.luc.edu/finaid/graduate.shtml for additional financial aid and loan information.
Are graduate teaching assistantships or research available?
Students in the MA in Medical Sciences program are not eligible for regular graduate teaching assistantships or research assistantships, because their main focus must be on excelling in the prescribed curriculum. However, the Department of Biology hires a small number of M.A. in Medical Science students on an hourly basis as teaching assistants in general biology. For more information, visit the Department of Biology.
Is the MAMS program at the Stritch School of Medicine?
No, the MA in Medical Sciences program is housed in the Department of Biology and the Graduate School at the Lakeshore campus. When applying online, do not link to graduate programs at the Loyola University Medical Center.
The program is 24 credit hrs. May I take more classes?
At the graduate level, 12–13 credit hours per semester is considered a full-time course load, and is the equivalent of 16–18 credit hours at the undergraduate level in terms of effort required.
How long does it take to hear about a final decision?
Time of acceptance notification varies greatly. Applicants who have received notification that their application is complete can be confident that the review process is underway.
When must I confirm my acceptance and enroll in the MAMS program?
July 15 is the deadline for communicating your acceptance of admission to the MAMS program in order to ensure a seat. Students must enroll by that date as well.
