This application claims the priority Benefit of U.S. Provisional application Ser. No. 60/016,932, filed Jul. 17, 1996.
The present invention relates to spectral densitometer systems and particularly to a spectral densitometer system for reading dosimeter cards containing a patch of material having an optical density in transmission related to the amount of irradiation (dosage) of the patch and a bar code identifying the card and the response of the patch to radiation. More particularly, the invention provides a unit for rapid, accurate and convenient reading of cards containing dosimeter patches and bar codes and computing the dosage represented by the change in optical transmission of the patch over a multiplicity of wavelengths or a wavelength range.
Dosimeter cards have been proposed containing patches of polymer films, which change their transmissivity in response to exposure to ionizing radiation, particularly gamma radiation, as well as bar codes containing information as to the optical response characteristics of the patch and other information, for example, serial numbers identifying each card. The cards may be used as a dosage measuring device which may be worn by personnel in facilities containing radioactive material or other sources of ionizing radiation.
Materials which are mounted on such dosimeter cards, as the patches, may be photochromic polymer films, such as described in an article entitled "Sensitometry of the Response of a New Radiochromic Film Dosimeter to Gamma Radiation and Electron Beams" by W. L. McLaughlin, et al. which appeared in the journal Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, A302 (1991) 165-176. Such materials change there spectral characteristics and become darker over a wavelength band. The darkness or density is related to the amount of absorbed radiation or dosage. The relationship of dosage to density is a generally linear curve over a wavelength band, but the slope of the curve varies from batch to batch of the photochromic dosimeter material. Accordingly, for accurate measurements, calibration data reflecting the relationship is relevant to the accuracy of dosage measurement when such photochromic materials are used to detect and measure dosage. In addition, each card requires identification so as to correlate the card with the calibration data, and the wearer of the card, when it is used as a dosimeter badge. Bar code symbols containing such calibration and identification data has been imprinted on cards carrying dosimeter patches, but errors in coordination of the calibration and identification data with the patch on individual cards has been difficult because separate spectrophotometers and bar code readers have been used for the spectral measurements and the reading of the bar codes, respectively. It is desirable to avoid mixups which can occur through the use of such separate bar code reader and spectrophotometer instruments. It is also desirable that the dosage readings be carried out rapidly as well as accurately with complete correlation of the bar codes and the spectral measurements. Separate bar code readers and spectral photometers are also inconvenient to use, and the use thereof requires trained personnel.
It is the principal feature of this invention to provide an improved spectral densitometer system whereby spectral and bar code measurements from photochromic material and of a bar code contained on the same device may be made rapidly, accurately and conveniently.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide an integrated bar code scanner and spectral measurement reader which is a unitary package and which is adapted for reading dosimeter cards containing radiation sensitive materials, the absorption spectra of which varies with dosage of radiation, as well as codes, particularly bar codes identifying the cards, and containing information for facilitating the spectral measurements.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a unified and integrated spectral densitometer and bar code reading system which may use a computer either internally or externally of the instrument for obtaining dosage measurements.
Briefly described, a spectral densitometer system embodying the invention is capable of reading dosimeter cards containing patches of radiation sensitive material and bar codes identifying the cards and the patches. A unit is provided having compartments including a mechanism which optically and mechanically separates compartments on opposite sides of the mechanism and has a slide which receives, individually, the cards. In one of these compartments, there is a source of illumination and a bar code scanner, such as a laser scanner, sometimes called a bar code scan engine. The mechanism assembles sections of a housing providing the compartment and components therein into an integral unitary structure. On the other side of the mechanism and in the other compartment is a spectrophotometer capable of scanning over multiple wavelengths. The slide of the mechanism is reciprocal between a position outside of the unit for receiving a dosimeter card and a position inside of the unit where the bar code is exposed through an opening in the mechanism to the bar code scan engine. Simultaneously, the dosimeter patch is placed in alignment with openings in the mechanism and light from the source projects through these openings via the patch into the spectrophotometer engine. Data is obtained as to the bar code information and as to the spectral measurements from the bar code reader and spectrophotometer, respectively. Such readings are applied to a computer which utilizes calibration information from the bar code and the spectral measurements to compute the dosage for each card. Each measurement is therefore made rapidly upon the insertion of the slide with a dosimeter card and accurately, without mixup or confusion of bar code and spectral information, from the same card with similar information from other cards. The mechanism between the compartments isolates the light from the source of illumination and the bar code reader, particularly the laser of such reader, and from the spectrophotometer thereby preventing light leaks which could lead to incorrect dosage computations. The system provided by the invention, thus further assures accuracy of dosage measurement.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention, as well as a presently preferred embodiment thereof will become more apparent from a reading of the following description in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the layout of a dosimeter card reading instrument in accordance with the invention for making spectral measurements and reading bar codes on dosimeter cards;
FIG. 2 is a plan view with the cover removed showing the instrument illustrated in FIG. 1 in greater detail;
FIG. 3 is a vertical section along the line 3-3 in FIG. 2 illustrating the slide mechanism of the instrument shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the slide mechanism and showing a typical dosimeter card; and
FIG. 5 is a block diagram/flow chart of the spectral dosimeter system provided by the invention.
Referring more particularly to FIG. 1, there is shown an instrument provided by the invention for reading dosimeter cards 10 illustrated in FIG. 4. The cards have an opening containing a patch 10a of multilayer film which is sensitive to ionizing radiation, for example, gamma rays. Such a film is described in the above referenced article by McLaughlin, et al. On one side of the card there is a bar code 10b containing calibration data for the film patch and specific to and identifying the card 10. Such cards may be approximately 13/4 of an inch in length and 5/8 of an inch in height and approximately 50 thousandths of an inch (mils) thick. The cards are inserted in a slide 12, indicated as a sample slide, in FIG. 1, which is a part of a mechanism 14 having an effectively blind hole 16 providing a bar code aperture and a through aperture 18. The slide 12 is reciprocal between two positions, one outside the instrument, as shown in FIGS. 1 & 3, for the insertion and removal of cards 10 therein and the other internal of the mechanism 14, as shown in FIG. 2, and within the instrument where the patch is in alignment with the aperture 18 and the bar code is exposed through the aperture 16. When positioned inside the mechanism 14, the slide is releasably captured by a magnetic detent which is shown at 20.
The mechanism 14 optically and physically separates a housing 22 for the instrument into two compartments 24 and 27. The compartment 24 contains a miniature bar code reader or scanner 26, which is preferably a laser bar code scan engine of a type which is commercially available, for example, from PSC Inc. of Webster, N.Y. U.S.A. The compartment 24 also contains a light source 28 which illuminates the sensitive patch 10a in card 10, through which light is transmitted and from which spectral measurements are made by a spectrophotometer module or engine 30 mounted in the other compartment 27. A computer external of the housing 22 is connected thereto via a bar code communication connector or port 32 and a spectral data communication or port 34. Connectors in these ports are wired to the bar code reader in the case of the port 32 and the spectrophotometer engine in the case of the port 34. The wiring from the bar code reader may be snaked via an opening 29 (FIG. 4) in the mechanism 14. Power for operating the engine 30 and the reader 26 and the light source 28 is obtained from wiring which is connected to a power input connector shown at 36.
Referring to FIGS. 2 through 4, the housing 22 may be provided by channel shaped shells having lower portions shown in FIG. 2 and upper portions which may be assembled thereto with screws. The lower shells have mounting boards 40 and 42 in each of the compartments 24 and 27. The shells have inner edges which snap into slots around the periphery of the mechanism 14. The channel shaped housing sections which form the compartments 24 and 27 are assembled to the mechanism 14 by snapping them into the peripheral slots in the mechanism over rims 44a and 44b in plates 46a and 46b which form the forward and rear sides of the mechanism 14. These plates are assembled by screws which extend through threaded holes 48a in the forward side plate 46a and 48b in the rear side plate 44b. The assembled side plates 46a & b define a slot 50 which captures the slide 12. The slide 12 is captured in the slot 50 by a step 52.
The slide has two parts 12a and b, which are also screwed together to define a notch 54 having a well which holds the dosimeter card 10. When in the slot 54, and the slide is advanced from its retracted position, shown in FIG. 3, to its inside position shown in FIG. 2, the patch of radiation sensitive film material is in alignment with an opening 18b in the forward plate of the plate 12a of the slide and a tapered opening 18c in the rear plate 12b of the slide. The bar code is exposed since the well of the notch 54 is below the level of the bottom of the code. Also when the slide 12 is inserted, the opening 16 is in alignment with the code and exposes the code to the laser beam from the bar code scanner (BCS) 26a. The forward slide plate 46a has an opening 18a, which is in alignment with the openings 18b and c of the slide and, therefore, with the patch of the card 10. These openings 18a, b and c and the patch are also in alignment with an opening 18d in the rear plate 46b. There is a notch 18e in the rear plate in which a nose of the spectrophotometer engine 30 is disposed.
The detent magnet 20 is a disk of permanent magnetic material captured in slots 56a and b in the forward and rear side plates 46a and 46b and a body of soft magnetic material (iron) 20b, which is mounted on a shoe 20c which is captured between the plates 12a and 12b of the slide 12 in a notch 20d formed when these plates 12a and b are fastened together.
The lamps 28 may be a pair of incandescent lamps having lenses formed at the end thereof which project broad spectrum (white) light through an infrared filter 58a and a blue light filter 58b. These filters restrict the spectrum of illumination of the patch to approximately a range between 500 and 700 nanometers. The lamps are shielded, by an optical shield 60 from the laser beam from the bar code scanner (BCS) 26a. As part of the bar code scanner, there is a bar code decoder (BCD) 26b and an interface (INTF) 26c which provides serial bar code data via the wiring to the serial connector 32. The bar code scanner components 26a, 26b and 26c, like the lamps 28, the shield 60 and the filter 58 are mounted on the plate 42 and held in place in the compartment 27, for example, by screws to the channel material of the housing sections forming the compartment 27.
The spectrophotometer 30 is preferably a spectrophotometer engine of the type which is commercially available from Lucid Technologies, Inc. of Henrietta, N.Y. U.S.A. and sold under the trademark Magenta Engine. This engine is also the subject matter of the United States patent application Ser. No. 08/322,244 filed Oct. 12, 1994 in the names of James M. Zavislan, et al. and assigned to Lucid Technologies, Inc., which owns this application now U.S. Pat. No. 5,742,389, issued Apr. 21, 1998.
Briefly, the engine is made up of a printed circuit board 60 on which is mounted a plastic wall structure 62 rigidifying the board and forming a corral having an entrance aperture 62, in alignment with the apertures 18, and other apertures which restrict the light which is projected through the patch via mirrors 64 and 66, to a diffraction grating 68 and thence through another sequence of apertures to a photodetector 79. The grating 68 is mounted on an arm assembly 70 which is rotated about a pivot 72 by a motor (not shown), the shaft 75 of which bears upon a frictional drive surface 74 of the arm 70. The motor may be a stepping motor which is stepped so as to scan different wavelengths across the range of interest separating increment as the arm 70 rotates. The photodetector 79 derives the multiple wavelength measurements as the arm 70 rotates. Reference may be made to the above identified patent application and the commercial Magenta engine for further information respecting the spectrophotometer engine 30.
FIG. 5 illustrates the spectral densitometer reader unit illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4 and the host computer which is connected via the ports 32 and 34. The system operates upon insertion of the card dosimeter, also known as a film badge, into the slide 12 and the reciprocation of the slide to its home position inside the mechanism 14 where it is held by the magnetic detent 20. Then the automatic scan initiating function of the bar code scanner 26 initiates the laser beam and via the computer commands the spectrophotometer engine to turn on and make spectral measurements. The bar code is read. This spectral data reflects a multiplicity of wavelength measurements across the band (approximately from 500-700 nanometers). This data is communicated via a modem or RS-232 serial interface in the spectral densitometer to the host computer. The bar code data is also transmitted to the host computer. Both data serial bit streams are in a format such that they can be inputted and stored in the host computer. The host computer is programmed, as indicated in FIG. 5, to translate the wavelength spectral transmission data into density data. This is accomplished by integrating the wavelength measurements to provide a weighted average of the transmission functions for each wavelength increment.
In the host computer, the bar code data is translated into the serial number representing the densitometer badge or card and the calibration factor of the patch. A look up table is used to derive a calibration factor (representing the slope of the dosage versus density curve) applicable to the patch. The computer then calculates the radiation dose as derived from the density reading and the calibration factor. The dose is then displayed or printed out together with the serial number identifying the card or badge and even the individual assigned to wear the badge.
From the foregoing description, it will be apparent that there has been described an improved spectral densitometer system which provides accurate, convenient and rapid reading of spectral and bar code data, especially data relating to radiation dosage. Variations and modifications in the herein described system within the scope of the invention will undoubtedly suggest themselves to those skilled in the art.
Accordingly, the foregoing description should be taken as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

The Food Chain's Missing Link

Delmonico's Italian Foods
1112 Summer St. N.E., Mpls.; 331-5466
The scene: a South Minneapolis yard, a lush lawn, elm trees arcing overhead, the smell of sweet barbecue smoke mingling with the breeze. One of those rare perfect summer nights. The players: Italian sausage selections from four of the Twin Cities' premiere sausage establishments, namely Cossetta's, Buon Giorno, Kramarczuk, and Delmonico's. The contest: to pit sausage against sausage in a fiery battle; that is, to determine who makes the very best Italian sausage in the Twin Cities. The methodology: a portion of each sausage was grilled at the same time, and transferred, unlabeled and unidentified, to a serving plate. The tasting panel (four adults and one 6-year-old girl) sampled each in complete silence, scribbling their comments on slips of paper. After all sausages were tasted and tested, a sausage debate--with notes waving, passions high--determined the winner. In short, an Italian sausage Olympics conducted in as objective and scientific a manner as possible--or as close as one could come on a perfect summer night with an icebox full of beer.
The impetus for this experiment was two-fold. First, whenever I work on the editors' choices for our annual "Best of the Twin Cities" issue, I'm plagued with second-guesses. Yes, I'm entirely certain that Madame X makes the very best chocolate mousse, but I always wish I could time-travel back to every single mousse experience I've had over the years to assure utter objectivity and completeness. Second, I just like sausages. They're ugly little piles of cast-off parts, embroidered with herbs and spices and years of know-how. They remind me of quilts--rags turned to riches through ingenuity, though not half as picturesque.
Frankly, they're ugly: lumpen, fleshy, stuffed into intestines or things that resemble intestines. To tolerate sausages you've got to have a strong stomach, an expansive imagination, or a love of the cuisine of regions traditionally loath to throw any food away, like southern Italy, where they've developed some of the most interesting sausages in the world. Fresh (preserved through neither cooking, drying, nor smoking) Italian sausage is a nice compromise between the Midwest and Italy--our balmy backyards with their flavors.
But who makes the best? Knowing that Italian sausage depends on the play between the earthy meat (traditionally pork); the sweet high notes of fennel and herbs; the bright points of heat from garlic, chili peppers, and peppercorns; the hand of the maker (overworking meat can make it tough); the quality of the ingredients; and the personal tastes of the sausage-eater, I tried to find out.
Cossetta's has nothing to prove. As a St. Paul institution with a devoted following they are confident in their abilities and recipes, and so they only make one variety of sausage, which you can get in casings or loose. It grills up well, and looks pretty on the grill in its long, tight coil. It's a light, smooth sausage, and definitely the most herb-filled of those tasted. Oregano, basil, fennel, garlic, peppers, and possibly celery seed make this fine-ground sausage delicate, even genteel. (Never ask a sausage maker for the details of the recipe. It's like asking an angler about his favorite fishing spot: You get either lies, evasions, or "I'll tell you, but then I'll have to kill you.") Cossetta's is a perfect sausage for serving with a pesto or stuffing into a white lasagna, but grilled on its own it seemed a bit week-kneed, and didn't stand up for itself.
Delmonico's is a family-run Italian market staffed by the Delmonico brothers--two of the sweetest men you'll ever meet--hidden away on a charming little park in Northeast Minneapolis. They make two sorts of sausage: hot and sweet. Theirs is a sausage with a high beef content, which makes it slightly drier and mealier than the other sausages that had a higher pork percentage. Roundly spicy and peppery, these sausages were distinct for their deep mellowness and subtle strength. If Delmonico's sausages had a voice it would be raspy and straight-shooting. Said one panelist: "This is my dad's sausage. It's like a long, spicy burger." Unfortunately, I felt these lacked lightness and zing, and more than any other sausage called out for lots of sauce and peppers (which I provided after the initial tasting). By the way, all the places listed here also sell good homemade tomato sauce, rolls, or bread, and other distinctive treats. Delmonico's is notable for their extraordinary hot or sweet pickled peppers.
It might seem odd to include Eastern European Kramarczuk in an Italian sausage contest, but I think they make some of the best sausage in the country, and so it's only fair to compare their Italian to others' Italian. They make two sorts, a smoked and a fresh. The first is a magnificent beast, smoked a golden brown, ground silky smooth, meltingly soft, fine, delicate, and plump, but not fatty. The fresh Italian was similar, but slightly coarser, sold in great big links, and sweeter, lighter, and fluffier from the lack of smoking. The two Kramarczuk sausages were far and away the top choice of the 6-year-old, who responded, I think, to the overall mellowness and the lack of visible spice or differences from bite to bite. Kramarczuk's smoked Italian would be my choice for simultaneous chef and unadventurous-crowd pleasing. It is, however, in texture and lack of distinct herbs and spices more like a German sausage than an Italian--it's also the only sausage reviewed here that wouldn't seem weird covered with mustard and sauerkraut, which is why it doesn't get my final vote for best Italian sausage overall: I think Italian sausage should be rustic, the individual spices should be recognizable, and the sausage should stand up and throw some punches of its own. It should be feisty.
Which brings us to Buon Giorno. Buon Giorno is an Italian market and deli nestled in the shadow of 35E on University Avenue, and it's a treat in every way. They have marvelous bread, cheeses, and a variety of smoked and fresh meats, and they also, shockingly, have a great number of Italian wines and liqueurs, as well as other wines, beer, liquor, and soda--making it an anomaly in our land of puritanical liquor laws. We sampled two of Buon Giorno's sausages, the sweet and the Sicilian, which is hot.
Buon Giorno's are the coarsest sausages; if you cut them open you see chunks of meat, tiny pieces of fat, and big specks of seasoning. Since the filling is not minutely minced, different bites reveal different notes of flavor, the fennel strong in one, garlic strong in another. This rustic coarseness made it seem the most handmade, and Buon Giorno's are the sausages that would stand up best to a plate of plain pasta with olive oil, for they were fierce little individuals when naked on a plate.
Buon Giorno's Sicilian was by far the hottest of all the sausages tried--as one of my panelists put it, "I feel like the whole boot of Italy is in my mouth," which I don't think she meant in a good way. For my money a hot sausage should stand up alone, or against a whole mound of fried peppers, tomato sauce, and cheese, which Buon Giorno's does, making it the ideal sub-sandwich sausage as well. I think that sausage should be like one of those throwback ditties we all know--like, say, "Ring Around the Rosie"--harmonious, embraceable, yet also slightly mysterious and incomprehensible, suggesting, above all, human effort and handiwork. Buon Giorno, to my mind, is the last word in sausage, and their coarse, feisty, spicy links capture the crown.
Of course, off-paper I rarely get to have the last word. On the night of the great sausage tasting I didn't; the debate raged into the night, and the Cossetta and Kramarczuk partisans became quite fierce. Further, I don't doubt that there's some Delmonico's lover out there quivering with outrage. Carrying out a taste test of sausages is fun--though logistically difficult--and a lot more family friendly and affordable than an evening of single-malt Scotch tasting. (All sausages here cost less than $4 a pound; a pound generally is four brat-sized links.) And above all it's a memorable way to make use of a summer night, a grill, and dreams of Italy.

Assessment for Learning Resources
On this page...
Articles for Use in Professional Development
Assessment Through the Student's Eye
Stiggins, R., (2007). Assessment through the student's eye. Educational Leadership May2007, Vol. 64 Issue 8, p22-26, 5p. Retrieved October 31, 2007 from http://tinyurl.com/ctz7vb
The article addresses the use and purposes of assessment in U.S. education in the early 21st century. The author notes that historically schools have used assessment to highlight student differences and rank students by achievement; he adds that, in 2007, schools are using assessment information to help students meet standards. The author believes that educators must address student confidence and motivation as well as potential, and he suggests using assessment for learning rather than using it only to verify learning. He explains that assessment for learning involves sharing information with students, discussing goals, and providing descriptive feedback to improve performance. He provides descriptive scenarios and suggestions for professional development.
Five Assessment Myths and Their Consequences
Stiggins, R., (2007) Five assessment myths and their consequences. Education Week, v27, n8, p28-29 Oct 2007. Retrieved September 25, 2015 from http://www.ewcupdate.com/userfiles/assessmentnetwork_net/file/Five%20Assessment%20Myths%20Stiggins.pdfDecember 3, 2007 from http://www.ewcupdate.com/userfiles/assessmentnetwork_net/file/Five%20Assessment%20Myths%20Stiggins.pdf
From Formative Assessment to Assessment FOR Learning: A Path to Success in Standards-Based Schools
Stiggins, R., (2005). From formative assessment to assessment for learning: a path to success in standards-based schools. Phi Delta Kappan, Dec2005, Vol. 87 Issue 4, p324-328, 5p, 1bw. Retrieved November 1, 2007 from http://bibliotecadigital.academia.cl/jspui/bitstream/123456789/586/1/Rick%20Stiggins.pdf
The article discusses the purpose of assessments in U.S. schools and why they should be changed. The redefined mission for American schools is to provide standards-based education and the opportunity for all students to learn in effective schools with pre-specified standards. The assessment legacy of ranking students with grades has been linked to motivation, but formative assessment can promote student success.
Inside the Black Box: Raising Standards Through Formative Assessment
Black, P., & Wiliam, D., (1998) Inside the black box: raising standards through classroom assessment. Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n2 p139-44 Oct 1998. Retrieved November 9, 2012 from http://weaeducation.typepad.co.uk/files/blackbox-1.pdf
Firm evidence shows that formative assessment is an essential ingredient of classroom work and that its development can raise achievement standards. Achieving this goal demands a four-point scheme for teacher development: learning from development, a slow, yet steady dissemination process, reduction of obstacles, and substantive research efforts.
The Value of Formative Assessment
An article from the National Center for Fair & Open Testing Journal, Fair Test Examiner on the value of Formative Assessment.
Assessment Training Institute/Educational Testing Service (ATI/ETI)
Rick J. Stiggins founded the Assessment Training Institute. It has since been purchased by Education Testing Services, but continues to house resources for learning teams on formative assessment. They also provide a free newsletter on assessment for learning at this site. http://www.assessmentinst.com/
Formative Assessment for Students and Teachers (FAST)
FAST is a primary component of the CCSSO Formative Assessment Initiative from the Council of Chief State School Officers.
Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory has put together a professional development toolkit for professional development providers on assessment. The activities in the toolkit parallel the chapters in Classroom Assessment for Student Learning and other books produced by the Assessment Training Institute. All of the workshop materials and directions are available on the website.

Neither too strict nor lenient. All very within reason.
Local Area:
Ann Arbor is incredible, great shopping food and liveliness.
The wireless network is not great and pretty slow. The computer labs are fantastic, especially with availability of Mac computers.
I haven't had any problems
its available when you need it which is cool
Greek Life:
The students think that they deserve better
A lot of problems has arised form this topic within the community.
Drug Safety:
I don't drink so it has never really been a problem for me
I love the oppotunities that come with it so its cool
I don't really work out
Off-Campus Dining:
there are a lot of places to choose from
I am applying to a different school.
Campus Housing:
I wish the freshman were able to live on Central Campas.
Local Area:
Ann Arbor is widely regarded as one of the best college towns in the country.
While diversity is certainly present on campus, it may not be present to the same extent as that of some other campuses.
Party Scene:
While the party scene at Michigan may not be as large as it is at some other schools, it's definitely enough to satisfy the vast majority of students. Football Saturdays are a blast, and Michigan's Welcome Week is considered to be the best welcome week in the country. If you're looking to party every weekend, however, it's in your best interest to go Greek.
Campus Housing:
Housing tends to be pretty good as long as you don't live on North campus. Avoid living in Northwood III apartments at all costs--they may appear to be an attractive option at first but they are extremely isolated and are situated on the farthermost corner of campus. The University recently renovated East Quad and is working on renovations for South Quad which will be reopening this upcoming year. Both residence halls are some of the best I've ever seen and I would definitely recommend trying to live in them your freshman year if at all possible. Mosher Jordan, Alice Lloyd and Couzens are also great options.
Michigan's liberal arts college alone boasts 40 departments ranked nationally in the top 10. Professors engage in research at the cutting-edge of their fields and there is ample opportunity for students to get involved in research. Very few universities can match the academic opportunities available to students at the University of Michigan.
As expected, Michigan experiences long winters and lots of snow, but the weather here isn't actually as bad as people often make it out to be. Several other northern states (i.e. Minnesota and Wisconsin) experience far harsher winters.
Very few financial aid opportunities and merit scholarships are available directly through the university; however, students tend to have a fairly easy time obtaining merit and need-based scholarships from third party sources.
As a Big Ten school with a rich athletic history, Michigan's sports scene is one of the best in the country
Drug Safety:
Drug use is fairly average. Drugs are certainly available for those who want them but most students choose not to partake.
U of M does an excellent job of providing students with computers; regardless of where you are on campus, a computer lab is bound to be only a short distance away.
Nothing really compares to the academics that Michigan provides. It's fantastic
Okay when its cold, terrible when it's windy. Students deal with it, but hate it.

Within minutes, Chiropractor Dr. Heather Olson discovered his hip was out of place.
"What were doing is were resetting that joint cause each joint has all these computer chips that attach to the brain and let the brain know exactly what the body's doing and what the tension is like and when you place and adjustment your resetting all those receptors. I see a lot of birth trauma, I see a lot of ear infections I've seen add kids autistic," said Dr. Heather Olson.
Henry's mom brings her little boy and 1-year-old daughter Sophie to the chiropractor once a month, as a preventative measure, to make sure their bones are strong and everything is growing in the right place.
"I did just making sure that the body is as healthy as it possibly can be so even dealing with little things like colds," said mother Carol Lebovic.
Dr. Heather says the spine plays a big role in our immune system.
"They love Dr. Heather I feel they're maintaining their health and their really great and I think chiropractic has really helped with that and since they've come in they haven't been diagnosed with any disorders," said Carol.
Dr. Heather says she's much more gentle when working with children, because their skeletal system is different than adults.
"They slowly build up to 18 years bone bone bone and that stops at 18 years so its a completely different process than an adult an adult takes pressure a lot of work a child is real specific and you have to know how to work with peads but its a completely different process," said Dr. Heather.
She says she applies light pressure, sometimes as little as the pressure of touching your eyelid.
"Like you saw with Henry, sometimes its just two thumbs it could be two fingers to be able to get that adjustment in place," said Dr. Heather.
Dr. Heather says starting young is never a bad thing.
"So when I see adults and I see they have spine defects and decay I know about 20 years ago that spinal stress created that so you'd be stopping that process in your child," said Dr. Heather.
"I just knew we could stay ahead of the game with some issues if we kept ourselves as healthy as they could be," said Carol.
Dr. Heather adds if you are interested in taking your child to a chiropractor - make sure they are certified in pediatric care.

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - NATO today acknowledged mistakenly bombing a refugee convoy, but blamed the Serbs for putting the refugees in harm's way.
"NATO confirms, from its preliminary investigation, it appears that one of its aircraft mistakenly dropped a bomb on a civilian vehicle in a convoy yesterday," said NATO spokesman Arild Isegg, reading a statement in Brussels, Belgium.
Meanwhile, thousands of Kosovar Albanians chased by Serb artillery fire poured into neighboring states today. Along the tense Albania-Yugoslav border, international observers reported a new round of Serb shelling.
Yugoslav officials said 64 people died and 20 were hurt in the Wednesday attack on the convoy. Previously, the alliance had suggested Serbs attacked the refugees, either from the ground or the air.
The NATO statement said it could not confirm the figures given by Serb sources, but regretted "any harm to innocent civilians, and reminds that the circumstances in which this accident occurred are wholly the responsibility of President (Slobodan) Milosevic and his policies."
"NATO deeply regrets the loss of life to civilians from the attack yesterday on a convoy," NATO spokesman Jamie Shea said today.
He said the pilot believed he was aiming at a military target.
"He dropped his bomb in good faith," Shea said of the pilot.
The explanation of the attack was confusing. Two convoys apparently were hit, but in NATO's attempts to explain what happened, it referred to only one convoy.
In a tape played at the NATO briefing, an American pilot - who was not identified - said he flew north of Djakovica in southwestern Kosovo where he saw Yugoslav army and special police units moving through a series of villages, setting them on fire and driving the people out.
He said he made several passes over the convoy to confirm what he thought was a military convoy heading to burn another village, then dropped a laser-guided bomb.
He said he then passed on information about the targets to another pilot who carried out an additional strike. It was not clear who had hit the refugee convoy.
In Britain, Prime Minister Tony Blair said whoever had carried out the strike, Milosevic bore the ultimate responsibility.
"Of course we regret these things deeply when they happen. But that should not make us flinch from placing responsibility for this conflict squarely on the shoulders of ... Milosevic," he said.
Shea said the mistaken attack wouldn't sway NATO from targeting Yugoslav ground forces.
"We'll continue to take every conceivable precaution that we can," he said.
The convoy's movement came against a backdrop of what is described by Western officials as a vast campaign of "ethnic cleansing" in which Serbs have systematically driven more than half a million ethnic Albanians out of Kosovo. That exodus is now gathering new force again after ebbing in the past week.
Thousands of refugees poured across the Albanian border at the Morini crossing between midnight and dawn today, some of them witnesses to the carnage of the convoy attack. Shaban Hasanaj, 15, came along later in a column of thousands that fled toward the Albanian border on foot, and said he saw the aftermath of the strike.
"I could see bodies without heads, tangled arms and legs," he said.

Alverno college is very concerned with their students. They will do any and everything to make sure every student has a chance at succeeding. There are a variety of resources provided for students to stay focused and make sure students understand that their future matters.
The walk to the school from parking is king of far. We have a lot of snow most of the winter, so you need to wear boots all the time.
I think they should add parking, if you have a later class there it is very hard to find a spot.
It does not seem that many students take part in athletics offered at the school.
Drug Safety:
I have not heard of any troubles of drug use on campus. I really do not think there are many students that take part in taking drugs.
You have to take a lot of extra classes before you can even start taking classes that have to do with your major. I think they make you spend a lot more time in school than you have to.
The work load is very heavy. It is hard to be in school full time and also work. There are so many classes you have to take that are not relevant to your major.
There is a lot of diversity on campus. A lot of the classes offered at Alverno is about diversity and culture.
Health & Safety:
It is comfortable seeing security officers walking around campus. There has been men seen grabbing girls that were walking to the bus stop or parking structure.
Local Area:
It is nice being so close to Milwaukee. There is so much more to do there.
There are a lot of options for you at the school. A lot of people come as undeclared and are able to find a major or minor they want to pursue.
My major is nursing. You have to take a lot of liberal art classes before you start taking actual nursing classes. To graduate within your four years you have to go full time. Some of the rooms are re done and look nice, but others are very old and have not been updated for many years.
They are good with visitors you can whoever you want come. The parking policies are very strict. The security checks all the lots and parking structure to make sure everyone has the right permits or passes. Most teachers are strict with attendance, you usually cannot be late for classes. If you miss three or more classes, the teacher has the option of dropping you from the class.
Off-Campus Dining:
There is a few good options for food, but most are fast food restaurants. We get discounts and two of the fast food places close to campus. You would have to drive closer to downtown Milwaukee to go to the more nice restaurants.
Guys & Girls:
It is an all girls school, so there is not meeting guys at the school. Most girls already have boyfriends and they can come visit. Most girls wear sweat pants and comfy close to class. Some girls do dress up though. I feel like a lot of people at the school are going for nursing, but I have been learning about other majors girls are taking.
I feel like I get less and less financial aid each semester. Some people in the financial aid office are no help.
Campus Food:
They are currently re- doing the dining area, but before it was very plain and crowded.
I think you need a car for the campus. Otherwise you go to the store you would have to walk to the bus stop and use public transportation.
I mean this school has students from all over the globe and different racial background, ethnicity and religion and that's what I love about it.
The school is very strict on a few topic but otherwise understanding when behavior is appropriate.
Drug Safety:
Absolutely no drugs or alcohol on campus. I only see a couple people smoke but far from the campus because it's a smoke free campus. I don't even remember the first or last time drugs were offered on campus at all.
Off-Campus Dining:
Lots of restaurants and fast food joint. Maybe a 5 minutes drive from campus. They don't offer students discounts but are conveniently located.
I'm a little worried about this but I guess they helped you find a place to go and do your internship. they partner with different companies depending on your major and they help find a place for you to to your internship.
I haven't even started my program yet because of all the prerequisites that this school wants you to take. It's a little annoying.
Campus Housing:
Overall, I love my school very much.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Most students who have made it through the majority of their years at Alverno say that they cannot imagine being anywhere else. In fact, many students who leave Alverno to go to other schools because of finances or because they didn't think Alverno was a good fit, often come back. Alverno is not just a school—it's a place that teaches women to think outside of the box and to understand themselves. It becomes a home for many people. Alverno graduates go on to become important women in their workplaces, communities, churches, and homes. The College offers students a unique opportunity to take a really good look at themselves and say, "Who am I?" and "Is this who I really want to be?"
Most people say that going to college is an investment in your future, but coming to Alverno is an investment in not only your future, but also your community's future. Almost all students who graduate from Alverno get a job within six months of graduation. Its graduates are competent, well-rounded, and have made a name both locally and internationally. At Alverno, students are pushed to analyze documents, literature, and one another. They are also encouraged to continuously self-assess and focus on their success.

Tech survivors rally for gun control
Armed with duct tape, Colin Goddard balanced on a chair to hang a screen so people could watch a film at the Richmond YWCA gymnasium.
Goddard appears to be fairly athletic. But four years ago, he was barely able to do one spin on a bicycle because of gunshot injuries he suffered during the shooting rampage at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007.
Goddard and others gathered in Richmond this week to share their thoughts about gun violence as "Living for 32" – a documentary about the Tech massacre – was screened at the YWCA.
Goddard was one of the people who survived when a fellow Virginia Tech student, Seung-Hui Cho, entered their classroom and began shooting. Cho, who had a history of mental health problems, killed 32 people before killing himself.
Since then, Goddard and other survivors have become activists for gun control.
The film screening in Richmond was organized Monday by the Virginia Center for Public Safety. Colin Goddard's father, Andrew Goddard, is president of the nonprofit group.
Gun control is the subject of debate in the General Assembly as the 2011 legislative session gets under way. It's also a national issue after a gunman killed six people and wounded a dozen, including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, in Arizona on Jan. 8.
Several bills before the assembly would relax existing firearms laws. Some would make it easier to get a permit to carry a concealed weapon, prohibit the state from restricting firearms or exempt guns made in Virginia from federal regulation. The Virginia Center for Public Safety opposes such measures.
The center supports bills that would provide more gun control. One measure, for example, would require criminal background checks before people can buy firearms at gun shows. Other would ban firearms from libraries, the Capitol and the General Assembly Building.
"They have to keep guns out of the State Capitol," Andrew Goddard said. "We don't want consequences."
To underscore how lax existing laws are, Colin Goddard goes to gun shows and demonstrates that he can buy weapons with cash – and without an ID or background check.
The film screening at the YWCA drew an audience of concerned citizens and victims and survivors of gun violence.
Omar Samaha, a Virginia Tech graduate, joined Colin Goddard in presenting the film and answering questions from the audience.
Samaha's sister, Reema Samaha, was killed during the Virginia Tech shooting. Samaha now works with Students for Gun Free Schools, a grass-roots campaign to ban concealed weapons from college campuses. The campaign was started in honor of Samaha's sister.
"Students feel they need to carry because they don't feel safe ... it is a variety of social issues," Samaha said.
The film recalls events that happened nearly four years ago. For many in attendance, the emotions were as raw as if the ordeal happened yesterday.
Alex Evans was the chaplain for the Blacksburg police and pastor at Blacksburg Presbyterian Church. He was present the day of the shootings and said the film carried him back to the day.
"I felt a very emotional response," Evans said. "But also very logical and practical. [Colin Goddard] is calling on us to improve our law and society."
Goddard says he is not anti-gun; however, he believes society needs more control over violent weapons.
"Living for 32" will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah at the end of January and at Virginia Tech in February. Students can request the film to be shown at their university.

Hutchinson exits race for Jackson's US House seat
"It's still up the people who go into the booth and vote," Kelly said in a phone interview. "But I think those ads counterbalance the millions of dollars that the NRA (National Rifle Association) has spent to influence what they want to influence."
Halvorson also has been targeted by the Bloomberg PAC ads because of her opposition to an assault weapons ban. She bristled at the notion of Bloomberg wading into the election.
"He's got billions of dollars, he has always been very controlling and he wants to control a congressional seat," she said.
Halvorson supports background checks for gun purchases and registration of all firearms but opposes an assault weapons ban, saying law-abiding gun owners have Second Amendment rights and that a ban in Cook County hasn't prevented gun violence.
The special election was triggered by Jackson's resignation in November. Jackson faces a federal conspiracy charge for allegedly spending $750,000 in campaign money on personal expenses. He also was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
