The Bauer Supreme TotalONE NXG Shin Guards are the premier shin guard coming out of the Bauer Supreme line, so Bauer put all of their greatest technologies and materials in this pad. The most exciting piece is the addition of Poron XRD™ foam in the knee cap sling. Not only is this a comfortable memory foam but it's one of the most advanced and protective materials used in hockey.
The TotalONE NXG took the previous TotalONE shin guard to a whole new level. Aesthetically, it looks a lot better but the actual performance and protection level is where Bauer made big strides. The Vent Armor foam in the calf wrap, the Poron XRD™ foam in the knee cap sling, and the Max-Sorb™ knee cap protection makes this shin guard one of the most protective pads made to date.
The NXG shin guard has a natural, close-to-the-body fit that others may call anatomical. There are many advantages to this new style of fit, one of the key ones being the immediate responsiveness of having a snug fitting pad. Other pads, especially traditional ones, will not respond to movements as quickly as anatomical pads because of the amount of negative space left open in traditional pads. A key aspect about anatomical fitting pads is that protection is not sacrificed with a low-profile pad.
The liner is the Thermo-Max+ that was seen in the previous TotalONE. It is soft to the touch, is very efficient at wicking away moisture and can be removed for washing/drying.
- Model Number: 1041154

- Poron XRD™ knee cap sling
- One of the most advanced and protective materials in hockey
- Adjustable thigh protector
- Wrap calf guard with new Vent Armour foam and poly insert for great protection with less weight
- Liner:
- Thermo-Max+ liner Has a soft feel that wicks moisture, regulates body temperature and prevents the build up of bacteria, reducing odor.
- Fully removable liner decreases drying time

Comments: From someone who's extremely picky when it comes to gear. By far my most favorite pair of shin guards I have owned. I don't like the feel of wrapping tape around the pads. So these pads are the suggest fit and most comfortable I've owned. Straps are a little shorter so when they stretch out your not running out of space. Great placement on strap locations as well. Love the narrow overall profile. Less speed resistance? Maybe!
From: Eric, Lancaster, PA
Comments: 6'2, 225 lbs. Went with 16 inch- fit great, awesome materials, comfortable.

'Chemophobia' is irrational, harmful – and hard to break
"We all feel a profound connection with the natural world. E O Wilson called this sensation biophilia: 'the urge to affiliate with other forms of life'. That sense of connection brings great emotional satisfaction. It can decrease levels of anger, anxiety and pain. It has undoubtedly helped our species to survive, since we are fundamentally dependent on our surrounding environment and ecosystem. But lately biophilia has spawned an extreme variant: chemophobia, a reflexive rejection of modern synthetic chemicals."
It has become conventional wisdom among chemists that "chemophobia" is the root of many people's trepidation about chemicals. Framing the issue as an irrational fear may not be the best way to improve chemicals' public image, however.[more inside]

And this—stealing the color white—is a very good example of the problem. It's not a national security secret. It's about stealing something you can make a buck off of. It's part of a strategy to profit off what American ingenuity creates."

Part I: Bee Deaths Mystery Solved? Neonicotinoids (Neonics) May Actually Help Bee Health.
Reports that honey bees are dying in unusually high numbers has concerned many scientists, farmers and beekeepers, and gripped the public. There have been thousands of stories ricocheting across the web, citing one study or another as the definitive explanation for a mystery that most mainstream experts say is complex and not easily reducible to the kind of simplistic narrative that appeals to advocacy groups. We explore the claims by Harvard School of Public Health researcher Chensheng Lu, heralded by anti-pesticide and anti-GMO advocacy groups, for his research that purportedly proves that the class of chemicals known as neonicotinoids are killing bees and endangering humans.Part II: Bee Deaths And CCD - Flawed Chensheng Lu Harvard Studies Endanger Bees.

Intriguingly, surfaces that are grooved into the shape of a saw blade will cause droplets suspended by the Leidenfrost effect to predictably skitter in the direction of the groove, allowing University of Bath undergraduate students Carmen Cheng and Matthew Guy to build a fascinating maze.

A Little Chemical Education

That's funny, Joey, I don't smell anything
"The memory is stil with me - the most sickly and sweetish smell of rancid gasoline combined with rotten water melons, with undertones of stale sweat, pig carcass, a hint of garlic, moldy oranges, russian-made aftershave and a cheap household air freshener… its a whole package, and rather sweet one – like isonitriles or cyclopentadiene but magnified thousand times. A whiff of that thing and you feel that your nose just suffered a stroke and will hopefully die and peal off so that you never smell that thing again." A young lab tech, whose absent-mindedness in the lab gets him nicknamed ""Bořivoj" ("the one who tears down the places"), meets PhePHMe, the worst-smelling compound in the world. Things happen.

How Not To Do It: Chromium Trioxide
Back in grad school, I had an undergraduate assistant one summer, a guy who was pretty green. I'll refer to him by an altered form of his nickname, henceforth as Toxic Jim. I shouldn't be too hard on him, I guess: I was a summer undergrad in my time, too, and I wasn't a lot of help to anyone, either. But TJ did manage to furnish me with some of my more vivid lab stories in his brief time in my fume hood. One morning I showed him how to make PCC. That's pyridinium chlorochromate for the non-organic chemists out there, an oxidizing agent that doesn't seem to be used as much as it was 15 or 20 years ago. Even in '85, you could buy it, but the freshly-made stuff was often better. It certainly looked nicer. Like all the Cr(VI) salts, it has a vivid color, in this case a flaming orange. I shouldn't say "flaming;" that's getting ahead of the story. . .

Motion/Captured Must-See: 'Tucker: The Man And His Dream'
I'm not sure how you can honestly say you're a fan of Francis Ford Coppola's work if you don't rank this right alongside the very best of his '70s work. It's easily the most personal film he ever made, and it's also one of the most beautiful. Maybe part of the problem is that the film he made is simply too much for home video to handle. When the film came out, I worked at a theater that played it, and I saw it seven or eight times in the two weeks it played. That print was gorgeous, lush, like it was printed on candy. And on VHS, it looked terrible. On laserdisc, it looked better, but it wasn't as vivid as that film print. On DVD, it's a mess. A huge mess. I'm sort of amazed as I revisit the disc that it is a DVD print. It's soft and the colors sort of bleed, and it just doesn't look very good at all. It's noisy. Here's a film just begging for a gorgeous BluRay restoration and release, and maybe if the right person at Paramount Home Video reads this and realizes just what a gem they're sitting on, it might get coughed up at some point. After all, the Warner Archives just made "Freebie and the Bean" available, so anything is possible.
Preston Tucker was an inventor, a salesman, a huckster, a family man, a crackpot, a criminal, and an inspiration, depending on who you talked to, and from the moment the film begins, it's obvious that Coppola sees himself in this guy who is willing to risk everything, over and over and over again, in order to follow his dreams. This is the Coppola who hadn't yet settled into the financial stability that he now finally deservedly enjoys. Coppola has gone bankrupt something like 347 times. I may be exaggerating, but not by much. And it's because he bet on his art. I think Coppola's a goddamn hero by example, and even if I don't love everything he's ever made, I love him. I love the way he talks about his own films and other people's films and the way his passions plays out in his filmmaking. Jeff Bridges is playing about as far from Coppola as is physically possible, tall and chiseled and golden-hued, with the Norman Rockwell family spilling out of his Norman Rockwell house, but in terms of the way he pursues his dreams, they seem to be cut from identical cloth.
The film is big and theatrical and plastic, and I remember people criticizing the film for that when it was released. That's the point, though. Tucker is a dreamer of a particular era, that post-war moment when everything was prefab and shiny and space age. His car that he designs is a Buck Rogers rocketship, sleek and spectacular. I can see why a car freak would fall in love with a Tucker, and why America went crazy for the promise of the car. In a way, this is also a cautionary tale about hype and what happens when you promise more than you're eventually able to deliver. It can be crushing, especially if you believed the promises when you made them. Coppola made some terrible movies, but they were movies of enormous ambition. "The Cotton Club" wants to be great. It's a movie that isn't aiming at being "a good movie." It's aiming at something bigger, something amazing. And that sort of reach is what marks most of Coppola's work. "Apocalypse Now" wouldn't be what it is if Coppola hadn't driven himself mad making it.
And although much of the movie is told like a big Art Deco cartoon, there are moments of darkness and eccentricity, and the best of them is an encounter with Howard Hughes in the middle of the night. Dean Stockwell shows up for one scene as Hughes, but he is unforgettable, haunted and crafty and disturbing. Everything you got about Hughes from "The Aviator," you also got here. Stockwell makes that strong an impression, showing how Hughes hated when big business bullied the little guy, hated monopoly, how he could out-politic anyone, and how he was also openly mad. There's also the great terrible scene late in the film where Martin Landau (who deserved his Oscar nomination) tries to quit so that he won't damage Tucker in the upcoming trial. It's so sad, and Landau just crumbles as a human being. "I caught your dreeeeams, Tucker." Good god, it gets me every time.
I love the sequence where they reveal the car for the first time in public. It's a beautifully staged bit of comic mayhem, but Jeff Bridges totally nails the real panic underneath. He's just as good at turning on the hyper-charisma as he is at showing you the fear that he's going to destroy his family, that they're going to pay for his dream. Bridges is one of my favorite actors, a guy who I think is almost criminally underrated, and this is one of his best roles. He seems to be perfectly in tune with Coppola's vision, and he sets a tone for the rest of the cast. Joan Allen is a creamy '40s pin-up dream as Tucker's wife, and there's wonderful work in the film by Elias Koteas, Frederic Forrest, a young Christian Slater, Lloyd Bridges, and Mako, all shot exquisitely by Vittorio Storaro and scored with amazing energy by Joe Jackson. This is one of the best examples of Coppola putting it all together, working with the exact right collaborators, and it's obvious that he truly has lived by the message of the movie, that it's worth it to lay everything on the line for a dream, and if you get knocked down, just try again. Just knowing that he's got a film in competition at Cannes this year, and that it's something he made outside the system, makes me feel like the spirit of Tucker's alive and well in one of the last of the '70s mavericks who really means it.

I'm no longer a Free Stater, but you should go to Porcfest and definitely move to NH, if you love liberty.
I tendered my resignation from the Free State Project today after being informed that they have decided to prohibit me from their events, the Porcupine Freedom Festival and Liberty Forum. My name was still on the membership rolls after their announcement, so I removed it, wishing the FSP the best.
With the banning, I became the latest inducted in the elite club of people like Christopher Cantwell and Zack Bass who have been similarly politically excised from the FSP organization.
It was a good run, but all things come to an end. I'm grateful for my more than a decade of helping to promote the Free State Project, and look forward to 20,000+ liberty-loving people coming here to New Hampshire and working toward freedom.
I know people have said they won't be attending Porcfest this year due to the FSP's decision, and I appreciate their sentiment, but to anyone who doesn't feel as strongly, you should still attend the Porcupine Freedom Festival this June. (more…)

text: Show transcribed image text Assume you are really going to build the single-transistor BJT amp discussed in class on Friday. Unlike your textbook which in 1300+ pages never even talks about supply bypass caps, you need such things when building circuits to work in the real world and especially into the high-MHz or the GHz range. To illustrate some of the reasons, do the following: Assume the wire connecting Vcc to the supply is 2 feet long. Find the inductance of this wire interconnect. Use the typical estimate of 20 nH per inch (about InH/mm). It could be higher or lower depending on whether the wire is twisted together with the ground wire or not Find the inductive reactance XL of this supply-interconnect wire at 20 kHz and at 1 GHz. For this amplifier to work the way it should, XL should be less than about 1/10th of Rc (so the supply connection really looks like an AC ground). Is this the case at 20 kHz ? How about at 1 GHz? Now assume someone was smart enough to place a 0.22 uF bypass capacitor at the supply connection to the circuit. What is the reactance of this supply-bypass capacitor at 20 kHz and at

Alienware M17x R3 – External Appearance (Closed)
Phd Dissertation Assistance On Finance
The Alienware M17x R3 has an external appearance which is similar to the other models in the range and as with those systems this has received some styling tweaks to refine the overall appearance. These refinements include small tweaks such as the grill bar for the front surface lighting being more curved and larger changes such as the updated lid which has a more angled cut-away but we still have the Alien logo including light up eyes. Also worth noting is that this new model, in black, features a rubberised external shell.
At the left edge of the machine we find the majority of the connectivity. This starts near the back with a Kensington Lock slot then runs through GB LAN (IPv6), VGA, HDMI out, mini-DisplayPort, 2x USB 3.0 and Intel based, Creative certified 5.1/7.1 audio in/out which includes a S/PDIF socket. Turning the system round we find two further USB ports (2.0 speed), eSATA/USB combo charge port, our 9-in-1 memory card reader, slot loading optical drive which in this case was a Blu-Ray drive and finally there is the HDMI School Challenges Essay IN. This means we can connect external devices such as the PS3 to play on the inbuilt high spec screen.
Round at the back of the M17x R3 we find two exhaust vents and almost in the centre is out power in socket. The base of the system is almost entirely flat and over 3/4 is made up of one single panel. We have two perforated sections which allow air into the system and between these is Alienware's plaque which is etched with the consumers name prior to dispatch. As with the previous models this design allows the M17x R3 to draw air in and exhaust it away from the user, allowing more comfortable use on their lap. Also worthy of note is the Klipsh logo on the base, they supply the speaker design for this system.

The Football season can't come soon enough. And for the New York Giants, the season looks to be either exciting or a devastating one. Fans have not forgotten that the New York Giants, while they did not make the play offs, still finished with a 10-6 record last year. However last year was last year. It's a whole new roster for the New York Giants. Come Saturday August 13, 2011, the Giants will have their first pre-season game, which won't be as exciting as a regular season game but it will give New York fans a glimpse into what their number one football team has in store for the 2011-2012 season.
So far the off-season has not been an enjoyable one for Giants fans. As Giants fans have seen their arch nemesis The Eagles really dominate the free agency. Giants fans also lost one of their own veteran wideouts named Plaxico Burress sign with the New York Jets. The Giants have not really done much to boost their team. Granted they have done some things, but there are still issues to take care of concerning each position. Will the final roster be enough to contend with the coming schedule for the New York Football Giants?

Gene gun
A gene gun or a biolistic particle delivery system, originally designed for plant transformation, is a device for injecting cells with genetic information; the inserted genetic material are termed transgenes. The payload is an elemental particle of a heavy metal coated with plasmid DNA. This technique is often simply referred to as bioballistics or biolistics.
This device is able to transform almost any type of cell, including plants, and is not limited to genetic material of the nucleus: it can also transform organelles, including plastids.
Gene gun design[edit]
The gene gun was originally a Crosman air pistol modified to fire dense tungsten particles. It was invented by John C Sanford, Ed Wolf and Nelson Allen at Cornell University,[1][2][3] and Ted Klein of DuPont, between 1983 and 1986. The original target was onions (chosen for their large cell size) and it was used to deliver particles coated with a marker gene.[4] Genetic transformation was then proven when the onion tissue expressed the gene.
The earliest custom manufactured gene guns (fabricated by Nelson Allen) used a 22 caliber nail gun cartridge to propel an extruded polyethylene cylinder (bullet) down a 22 cal. Douglas barrel. A droplet of the tungsten powder and genetic material was placed on the bullet and shot down the barrel at a lexan "stopping" disk with a petri dish below. The bullet welded to the disk and the genetic information blasted into the sample in the dish with a doughnut effect (devastation in the middle, a ring of good transformation and little around the edge). The gun was connected to a vacuum pump and was under vacuum while firing. The early design was put into limited production by a Rumsey-Loomis (a local machine shop then at Mecklenburg Rd in Ithaca, NY, USA). Later the design was refined by removing the "surge tank" and changing to nonexplosive propellants. DuPont added a plastic extrusion to the exterior to visually improve the machine for mass production to the scientific community. Biorad contracted with Dupont to manufacture and distribute the device. Improvements include the use of helium propellant and a multi-disk-collision delivery mechanism. Other heavy metals such as gold and silver are also used. Gold may be favored because it has better uniformity than tungsten and tungsten can be toxic to cells, but its use may be limited due to availability and cost.
Biolistic construct design[edit]
A construct is a piece of DNA inserted into the target's genome, including parts that are intended to be removed later.[5] All biolistic transformations require a construct to proceed and while there is great variation among biolistic constructs, they can be broadly sorted into two categories: those which are designed to transform eukaryotic nuclei, and those designed to transform prokaryotic-type genomes such as mitochondria, plasmids or plastids.[5]
Those meant to transform prokaryotic genomes generally have the gene or genes of interest, at least one promoter and terminator sequence, and a reporter gene; which is a gene used to ease detection or removal of those cells which didn't integrate the construct into their DNA.[5] These genes may each have their own promoter and terminator, or be grouped to produce multiple gene products from one transcript, in which case binding sites for translational machinery should be placed between each to ensure maximum translational efficiency. In any case the entire construct is flanked by regions called border sequences which are similar in sequence to locations within the genome, this allows the construct to target itself to a specific point in the existing genome.[5]
Constructs meant for integration into a eukaryotic nucleus follow a similar pattern except that: the construct contains no border sequences because the sequence rearrangement that prokaryotic constructs rely on rarely occurs in eukaryotes; and each gene contained within the construct must be expressed by its own copy of a promoter and terminator sequence.[5]
Though the above designs are generally followed, there are exceptions. For example, the construct might include a Cre-Lox system to selectively remove inserted genes; or a prokaryotic construct may insert itself downstream of a promoter, allowing the inserted genes to be governed by a promoter already in place and eliminating the need for one to be included in the construct.[5]
Gene guns are so far mostly applied for plant cells. However, there is much potential use in humans and other animals as well.
The target of a gene gun is often a callus of undifferentiated plant cells growing on gel medium in a Petri dish. After the gold particles have impacted the dish, the gel and callus are largely disrupted. However, some cells were not obliterated in the impact, and have successfully enveloped a DNA coated gold particle, whose DNA eventually migrates to and integrates into a plant chromosome.
Cells from the entire Petri dish can be re-collected and selected for successful integration and expression of new DNA using modern biochemical techniques, such as a using a tandem selectable gene and northern blots.
Selected single cells from the callus can be treated with a series of plant hormones, such as auxins and gibberellins, and each may divide and differentiate into the organized, specialized, tissue cells of an entire plant. This capability of total re-generation is called totipotency. The new plant that originated from a successfully shot cell may have new genetic (heritable) traits.
The use of the gene gun may be contrasted with the use of Agrobacterium tumefaciens and its Ti plasmid to insert genetic information into plant cells. See transformation for different methods of transformation in different species.
Humans and other animals[edit]
Gene guns have also been used to deliver DNA vaccines.
The delivery of plasmids into rat neurons through the use of a gene gun, specifically DRG neurons, is also used as a pharmacological precursor in studying the effects of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
The gene gun has become a common tool for labeling subsets of cells in cultured tissue. In addition to being able to transfect cells with DNA plasmids coding for fluorescent proteins, the gene gun can be adapted to deliver a wide variety of vital dyes to cells.[6]
Gene gun bombardment has also been used to transform Caenorhabditis elegans, as an alternative to microinjection.[7]
Biolistics has proven to be a versatile method of genetic modification and it is generally preferred to engineer transformation-resistant crops, such as cereals. Notably, Bt maize is a product of biolistics.[5] Plastid transformation has also seen great success with particle bombardment when compared to other current techniques, such as Agrobacterium mediated transformation, which have difficulty targeting the vector to and stably expressing in the chloroplast.[5][8] In addition, there are no reports of a chloroplast silencing a transgene inserted with a gene gun.[9] Additionally, with only one firing of a gene gun, a skilled technician can generate two transformed organisms.[8] This technology has even allowed for modification of specific tissues in situ, although this is likely to damage large numbers of cells and transform only some, rather than all, cells of the tissue.[10]
However, biolistics introduces the construct randomly into the target cells. Thus the altered DNA sequences may be transformed into whatever genomes are present in the cell, be they nuclear, mitochondrial, plasmid or any others, in any combination, though proper construct design may mitigate this. Another issue is that the gene inserted may be overexpressed when the construct is inserted multiple times in either the same or different locations of the genome.[5] This is due to the ability of the constructs to give and take genetic information from other constructs, causing some to carry no transgene and others to carry multiple copies; the number of copies inserted depends on both how many copies of the transgene an inserted construct has, and how many were inserted.[5] Also, because eukaryotic constructs rely on illegitimate recombination, a process by which the transgene is integrated into the genome without similar genetic sequences, and not homologous recombination, which inserts at similar sequences, they cannot be targeted to specific locations within the genome.[5]

Motor nerve conduction velocity was measured in 52 hypertensive and 10 control subjects. Reduction of nerve conduction velocity paralleled elevation of blood pressure and retinal changes. No correlation was found between nerve conduction velocity and the duration of hypertension. Nerve conduction velocity can provide us with an objective measurable index of the severity of hypertension.
Peripheral neuropathy may accompany a number of diseases of varying etiology. It is noted frequently in diabetes mellitus, uremia, and malignant tumors. Measurements of motor nerve conduction velocities in these conditions revealed that a functional conduction defect may precede the overt clinical manifestations of peripheral neuropathy.1 Reduced motor nerve conduction velocity is therefore an early indicator of subclinical nerve involvement. The exact nature and pathogenesis of the neural lesions is unknown. There is, however, some evidence, derived mainly from studies in diabetes, which suggests that degenerative vascular changes in the vasa nervorum may be

What documents do I need to submit for my applications to ApplyTexas and the CS department?
- ApplyTexas application required. Submit the application fee, GRE and TOEFL/IELTS scores, and transcripts here. You can upload the transcripts by going through the My Status page. My Status will say you need to upload a statement of purpose but this is not necessary. The email requests for letters of recommendation are not sent to your recommenders from the ApplyTexas application. These requests are sent out after you submit the CS department application.
- CS department application required
- Transcripts – If you are currently enrolled or about to enter a program at a university, list it on your Apply Texas and CS. Only transcripts from senior colleges attended need to be listed and uploaded, this includes 3 year Bachelor's degrees.
- Tests: Tests must be taken before the CS application deadline. Self report test scores in the CS application and be sure ETS has sent the scores to the ApplyTexas system using institution code 6882. A department code is not needed.
- GRE – required
- A GRE Computer Science Subject Test - No subject tests are required. The CS subject test was no longer offered after April 2013 but ETS will report scores through 2018 if you took this exam. You can submit cores from a subject test in Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics if you have taken one of these.
- TOEFL –Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System(IELTS) Required if your native country's primary language is not English. Waived if you have a bachelor's from an accredited U.S. institution or other English-only speaking country. If you qualify for waiver enter '0' on department application. See Graduate School's site on Test Scores. (Applicants whose scores have expired may still apply by submitting the previous scores. If admitted a new TOEFL might be requested.)
- A statement of purpose - Not required for GIAC application, only for the CS department application. It should be approximately 2 pages describing reasons for pursuing graduate study and academic and professional interests and goals. Might include events/experiences that prepared you for CS graduate study and how your interests compliment our department's faculty and research.
- Three letters of reference – Requests are not sent from the ApplyTexas application, only for the CS department application after you submit it. Letters should emphasize research experience and academic achievements, particularly in computer science.
- Optional materials that are accepted in the CS department application: Resume and up to three publications. Resume scan should include a scan of any aid award letter that has the award details such as NSF, Fulbright, etc.
What are the requirements for scanning/uploading my transcripts to the department application?
- Transcript must be official (incluldes 3 year Bachelor's degrees)
- English translations required
- Obliterate social security numbers
- Include 1 scan of the grading information ("transcript key") if it isn't on the front of the transcript.
- May submit 'mark sheets' if your university does not provide transcripts.
- Must have proof of degree on transcript or on separate page. If not available at time of application this will be requested later if you are admitted.
- Do not scan back of document to show Official stamps.
- Shrink images to <= 5Mb
- Check your scan before uploading. Is it legible?
How do I check the status of my GIAC and departmental application?
Check your GIAC status. Admissions decisions also post here. Check your CS application status
Do I need a degree in Computer Science to be admitted to the department?
No. It is beneficial though not required. Work experience is considered. The following UTCS undergraduate courses, or equivalent, are required as background which can be satisfied after admission to the program. They are not prerequisites for admission.
- Discrete Math for Computer Science (CS 311)
- Introduction to Programming (CS 312)
- Data Structures (CS 314)
- Algorithms and Complexity (CS 331)
- Computer Organization and Architecture (CS 429)
- Principles of Computer Systems (CS 439)
Scoring 90% or higher on the Computer Science Subject Test given by ETS also will satisfy the background requirements; however, the CS subject test was last given April 2013 and is no longer be offered by ETS. If you took it then ETS will report the scores through Spring 2018. Graduate level courses may not be used to satisfy background requirements. Please see the Undergraduate Course descriptions for more information.
May I apply for the Master's program if I have an equivalent level of degree in Computer Science or a closely related field?
No. You should apply to the Ph.D. program.
What criteria are used to evaluate students for admission to the department?
The main criteria used to evaluate applicants for graduate study in CS: grades, test scores, computer science background, letters of reference, and a statement of purpose. We encourage applicants to provide a resume and publications (if any).
Why didn't my recommender receive an email request to upload the letter of recommendation and/or how does the email to my recommenders work?
Be sure you submitted the CS application. An email is only sent out if you actually used the 'submit' button. Some email systems filter our email requests as spam/junk. Tell them to set the spam/junk filter to receive email from firstname.lastname@example.com. Email requests to recommenders go out 24 hours after the CS application is submitted. An initial email and 2 reminders are sent to upload letters. You can also resend the request for a letter yourself by logging back into the CS department application and going to the recommenders.
Are there minimum GRE and GPA scores required for admission and can I submit my GRE scores after the deadline?
There is no minimum GRE test score. Applicants admitted to the CS graduate program usually have high quantitative GRE scores and a math background that includes study through some discrete math. You are expected to have taken your GRE by the deadline so you can self report your GRE scores in the CS department application system before submitting it. The official scores may arrive in graduate admissions after the deadline.
A grade point average of at least 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or comparable grade point average in upper-division work (junior- and senior-level courses) and in any graduate work already completed. Applicants admitted to the CS graduate program usually have shown their skills in CS by achieving a better than average GPA in their CS courses.
If you feel that your grade point averages or test scores are not valid indicators of your ability, you should explain your concerns in your statement of purpose.
Are there minimum TOEFL Scores?
A score of 550 (paper test), 213 (computer-based test), or 79 (internet-based test) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) OR an overall band of 6.5 on the Academic Examination of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is considered the minimum acceptable for admission to The University of Texas at Austin.
Average scores for CS department admitted students are below. While it is required to submit a TOEFL/IELTS, students who have received their education in English beginning in at least their secondary years, may submit scores after the deadline. This is not preferred but it is allowed.
Ph.D. program
- TOEFL: 587 paper / 95 iBT with 26 reading, 21 listening, 24 speaking, and 25 writing.
- IELTS: Band 7.
Masters program
- TOEFL 627 paper / 108 iBT with 28 reading, 28 listening, 25 speaking, and 28 writing.
- IELTS: Band 7.5.
Where should ETS send my test scores?
Request ETS to report official test scores to UT Austin (institution code: 6882). A department code is not needed. ApplyTexas can receive the official scores from ETS past the December 7th recommended deadline. TOEFL scores are self reported in the CS department application. Include them when you submit by the December 7th preferred deadline.
When do I send in the Certification of Financial Responsibility?
This form is not required for our review. You may wait for the decision before uploading it to your GIAC application.
PhD applicants - You will need to upload the form with your personal information. The department will provide aid information to the International Office (I.O.) if you receive a financial award from our department.
Masters applicants - You will need to upload the form with proof of personal support if you are granted admission.

Wednesday, March 26, 2014
Before you get to the crafts and fair food at the Flowertown Festival, you have to find a place to park.
Once again, the town is closing neighborhood streets within the historic district to the west of Main Street.
The town closed the streets for the second time last year amidst concerns from public safety officials that an ambulance or fire truck wouldnt be able to get through the narrow streets with cars parked on both sides.
Residents will be allowed through, but parking spot searchers will have to search elsewhere.
Last year year volunteers from the YMCA manned the barricades. Apparently the sight of mere volunteers didnt deter some especially insistent parkers, so this year the barricades will be manned with police officers.
The good news is that Heritage Square has agreed to allow parking, and the YMCA will have free shuttles every day of the festival.
Heritage Square, is at the corner of U.S. 78 and the Berlin G. Myers Parkway.
Shuttles will run between noon and 5 p.m. Friday, between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Saturday, and between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Sunday.
The town parking garage, on Short Central Avenue, will be open as well and has several handicapped parking spaces.
