NASA's next Mars mission is giving students and the public worldwide an opportunity to have a personal connection with space exploration through a new education and public outreach effort called the "Going to Mars" campaign.
Starting Mar. 15, an art contest will give participants ages 5 to 17 the chance to create artwork in support of the upcoming November 2013 launch of MAVEN, which will explore the Martian upper atmosphere in unprecedented detail. The winning artwork, chosen by the public via online voting, will be announced May 20. The winning artwork will be carried aboard the spacecraft to Mars.
"The Going to Mars campaign is an exciting opportunity for people around the world -- across languages and age groups and perspectives -- to be part of a unique project that could have a profound effect on how we view Mars and its history," said CU-Boulder's Stephanie Renfrow, who is leading the MAVEN Education and Public Outreach program from the university's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, or LASP.
The MAVEN Education and Public Outreach program campaign will use social media, classroom programming, teacher professional development, public lectures and museum programs to teach and engage the public about the MAVEN mission and space research.
"This outreach campaign dovetails nicely with our activities on the road to launch in November," said CU-Boulder's Bruce Jakosky, MAVEN's principal investigator based at LASP. "It's initiatives like this that I believe will inspire the next generation to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics."
MAVEN will launch between Nov. 18 and Dec. 7 this year. When it arrives at Mars 10 months later, it will use its propulsion system to enter an elliptical orbit ranging from 90 to 3,870 miles above the planet. The spacecraft's eight science instruments will take measurements during a full Earth year, which is roughly equivalent to half a Martian year. MAVEN also will dip to an altitude 80 miles above Mars to sample its entire upper atmosphere. During and after its primary science mission, the spacecraft may be used to provide communications relay support for robotic missions on the Martian surface.
In addition to CU's LASP being the institution with MAVEN's principal investigator, the university will provide science operations, science instruments and lead the Education and Public Outreach program. NASA Goddard manages the project and provides two of the science instruments for the mission. Lockheed Martin of Littleton, Colo., built the spacecraft and is responsible for mission operations. The University of California, Berkeley, Space Sciences Laboratory provides science instruments for the mission. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., provides navigation support, the Deep Space Network and the Electra telecommunications relay hardware and operations.

Wade Gregory is a working muso. He's not unfamiliar with hauling a big-arse keyboard in and out of the city. A while ago, with a Saturday night gig on at the Metro Arts Centre in Edward Street, he opted to spend a bit of the folding stuff on an off street car park.
"On-street parking is a lottery," he says. "All those 19-year-old bogans going to the Vic need somewhere to park, right? They get into messy fights at cab ranks. Can't have that."
So fuggedabouddit. Gregory figured to drop a few dollars on the problem and avoid the hassle. There's a new secure parking place not far from the gig. He drives in, doesn't see any parking attendants or any booths, and he think to himself it's one of these new automated places.
Very Terminator.
I'll let him tell his own story now.
"So I arrive back at ten minutes past ten o'clock: an early night in the city, but I was heading out to the Valley to support some more live music. Luckily I had borrowed my friend's keyboard for the night and so the gear I was lugging was lighter than usual. I say luckily because the massive big garage door was slammed shut. At 10.10pm on a Saturday night. In ol' Bris Vegas. There was another chap standing around with his girlfriend, looking just as dumbfounded as I. The exit fee, I presume to get some overweight security guard to come down and press a button, was something like $50, or I could come back in the morning and pay for two days parking (which turned out to be cheaper).
"I went to see where they advertised their opening times There was nothing on the street, no A-frame display, no electronic sign like QPAC's that says "closing midnight". The only place they revealed their closing time was in small print as you entered. When you collect your ticket at the boom gate, you have to lean out of your window slightly and peer down at a sign: it had all the parking charges, and then in smaller print below that, their opening hours.
"As if that wasn't bad enough: the next morning I caught the bus into town to collect my car. Like I said, it was a fully automated carpark so I inserted my ticket into the pay station. It wouldn't read my ticket, but instead displayed an error message. So I had to use the intercom to speak to someone (I assume in Sydney) and explain how frustrated I was. He pressed a few buttons remotely and I was able to feed in my hard-earned into the machine. Then as I went to drive out, I put the ticket in the machine at the boom gate. Yet again, ticket read failure. I smashed the intercom button, explained to the same guy that I had already paid my bloody ticket, and I was outta there."
Fast forward and you'll find Daniel Knight in a similar bind. He'd worked late and headed to car park to discover the automated machine was on the blink.
"No problem," says Daniel, "there is another machine, and I headed over to the long line to pay for my ticket at this secondary unit. It was then I noticed a long line of cars backing out from the exit. I paid and headed to my car on the rooftop. I park on the roof as a matter of choice… I enjoy the view and brief wind on my face… it's a small freedom but one I enjoy choosing."
Knight drove down the ramps until he reached the tail of the exit line, at which point it took just under another hour to clear through.
"The reason became apparent when I got to the gate. Because of the time it had taken me to get to there, additional charges had been placed on my ticket – $35 I believe from memory– and I was being asked by the machine to make this extra payment before I exited."
He was just the last of a long line of suckers getting bent over the same barrel.
You can understand their anger, but it can get worse, much worse.
If you are woman, working late and alone and for whatever reason your car park features broken ticket machines, surly off-site staff, and an exciting array of poorly advertised penalty charges, you can find yourself in a bad place very quickly.
Twice now recently I've come across stories of women trapped in multi-level car parks because the cheap ratbastard greedheads who run these aesthetically worthless money traps can't be arsed putting on staff. The machines constantly malfunction and when a frustrated, or traumatized customer complains the only option they're left with is pay extra now, or pay extra later. Or I suppose you could follow the example of one woman who had curled up into a ball under the torrent of abuse directed at her by some slug in a remote facility, most likely in Sydney.
It's a situation that's snuck up on a lot of city workers the last couple of years, as the super rich owners of these car parks have looked for every opportunity to pare back their outlays while squeezing ever more profits out of the public. The really sneaky part of closing the doors and charging people extra to leave is that most of these places are now unstaffed and there's no reason they couldn't be open 24/7. But shutting them down and charging some mug fifty bucks to press a button is a great little earner, innit?
Unfortunately, it's going to end in a woman disappearing from one of these dumps and turning up in a shallow grave a few miles outside of the city.
I'm just pointing this out now so that when it happens, and it will, these scumbags can't say they weren't warned.

And Matt, if I remember correctly, LT got a cool mil just for taht 1 match as well! Yeah I did not think that the McMahon would have LT lose and make it a long running rivalry back and forth type of thing.

I still like Bam Bam. My wife met him, well not face to face, in the recovery room at Jersey Shore medical center in Neptune City. She was getting her gall bladder out and he got some sort of arm/elbow surgery. She got me an autographed picture of him.

My step-father also met him numerous times. Bam Bam was a student in high school, when my step-father used to drive a bus when he was younger. He said "Scotty" was a bad *** then. He wrestled in high school, but he still has his hair and no flame tats on the skull yet---LOL!! From what he has told me, Bam Bam would kick the **** out of the punks at the high school when he saw them bullying others.

|Check-in before
Great location - very convenient for any activities planned in Nice and pretty much everything within walking distance. Very nice studio with all amenities and reliable wifi. Comfortable and clean and a warm welcome by Salvatore, who was very helpful. Would definitely stay there again!
Perfect accommodations for what we needed-a home base where we could do some minor cooking, shower and sleep in between our outings throughout Nice. Parking / driving a car is insane in the city so be mindful and GPS-based navigation systems don't have accurate information on street directions and the exact method of accessing the address for the flat. Only reason for 4/5 stars was that there was a minor insect infestation in and around the bathroom.
Clean and good looking appartment in walking distance to the historic city center. With two keys available, perfect for our weekend trip.
We had the best stay at Salvatore's flat. It was small but had absolutely everthing it needed. Very close to the beach, clean towels and linnen and the room was clean and everything was fine! I would recommend this place to all wanting to go to Nice.
Great appartment, spacious and clean. Located very close to the train station, so very easy to visit other cities at the Cote d'Azur. Supermarket and shops were close, restaurants and sea at 15 min. walk. Salvatore was very helpfull and kind.
Nice, newly renevated appartment for max 2 persons. Good location close to shops and beach. The landlord is friendly and easy to get in touch with. The kitchen equipment is minimal (no wine glasses!) and there is no iron-board.
We had a real nice time in this studio! It's got everything you might need, including a microwave, pots, pans, dishes, hairdryer....everything clean and in good condition!
The studio is located very central, so you reach the beach in a ten minute walk, stores right around the corner, the promenade only a few minutes away. Also the busstation is very close.
We would definetly come back if we ever come to Nice again!
Good location. If you are looking for very low budget stay this can be it for you. But do not expect any romance, the room is very small, no admosphere and we had a broken bed / couch.
Good shower but unfortunatelly warm water ran out after less then 5 minutes.
We complained and were offered another appartment. We had to pay extra but I think this was a fair deal. The other appartment was FANTASTIC! (5 Rue Francois Aune)
Really good situated appartment, cosy, clean . Salvatore was very kind and helpful!
Very good and very nice with no problems. Everything was as ok but one thing. Internet was very slow and devices were often disconnected from the network, so it was hard to download any maps or check attractions around on-line.
Everything else very good.

Over at Outspoken there was a firestorm over Lisa Barone's post It's Not the Recession, You Just Suck
Some loved it, some didn't, some seemed offended. I read it with detached bemusement, which is professionally my favorite emotional state. Being an elder statesman has it's perks and detached bemusement is one of them.
Another perk of being a gray-beard in this biz is watching the younger crowd earn their stripes as the years go by. Even though I really don't know these folks, I watch them from a distance, follow them, comment on their blogs from time to time, and oddly take great pride when one of them becomes as successful as I thought they would back when I first met them, when they might not have known if they were going to make it big or not.
Rae Hoffman is a perfect example. I had been speaking at conferences for many years and then she happened to be on a panel with me. I don't remember the specific conference, as I've done over 100, and I don't remember who else was on that panel. What I remember was Rae knew her shit cold. Smart as hell, fearless, willing to speak up. I remember her saying she was glad to be on that panel with me and then thinking to myself I should be thanking her. I also remember thinking to myself that she was going to be a force in the industry, and soon. I so much love being right.
On Lisa's post above, Rae commented…
…a few of them might do what I did ten years ago and say "you know what? I want more. And I CAN get it…"
Yes, indeed you can. Long before Mike Grehan and Greg Boser and Debra Mastaler decided my new SEO handle was LinkMoses, which was circa 2002, a full decade earlier in 1991, I lost my job when my division was sold to Time Inc., and my boss informed me I was not a part of the "new organization". The economy was in a recession (you thought this one was the first one?), and I spent three months in a funk before I realized nobody was going to rescue my sorry ass. I did what Rae said. I decided "I want more" and got up and did something. You all know the rest of the story.
So take everything Lisa and Rae said, put it in ALL CAPS and multiply it by 10. Then it will be perfect.
Nobody, and I mean n-o-b-o-d-y gives a shit about your future enough to put your faith in them. We are all free agents, and like it or not, you cannot hide your weak-ass game for long in this industry. After 14 years at this, I could easily just phone it in. Sit on the porch with a blunt listening to the best band nobody's heard of (on 8-track). Hell, I've earned it. Fuck that Twitter shit and why the hell do I need a blog? I'm freaking Link-Moses.
I know what I know because I refuse to stop. I refuse to let my skills rust. And more important, I know what I do not know, and it's a lot. So I go learn it.
The special thing about our particular industry is how it's still in its infancy, and nobody is such an expert at any aspect of it that they can stop learning. At the same time, it's all right there for the taking, if you want it, and are willing to learn it, and then earn it.

UTSA to host blood drive July 13-14
(July 12, 2005)--The South Texas Blood and Tissue Center (STBTC) encourages all eligible donors to visit a blood drive or blood collection facility as soon as possible.
The blood supply has reached a critical stage with less than 1,000 units on the shelf. While type "O" blood is most required, all blood types are needed.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
UTSA will sponsor a blood drive from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Wednesday, July 13 and Thursday, July 14 adjacent to the University Center at the 1604 Campus.
"The entire country is experiencing extremely low levels of donations and high needs for blood, which are rapidly depleting supplies," said Dr. Norman Kalmin, STBTC president/CEO and medical director. "Local hospitals have expressed concern and may have to start canceling non-emergency surgeries. Non-emergency surgeries may include an organ transplant or a heart by-pass surgery. Anytime we reach such a critical level, we look closely at our preparedness to respond to national security issues."
Anyone 17 years or older who weighs at least 110 pounds and is in good, general health may donate blood. All donors must present photo identification. Donors should eat at least four hours before their donation and drink plenty of fluids, such as water and fruit juice, before and after donating.
For more information, contact Kathy Ceresoli, student health services, at (210) 458-4142.

The Blog Hop begins at Zva Creative's NEW blog! Be sure head on over if you'd like to start from the top of the hop. You will also find a complete list of all the participating blogs there (in case there is a glitch along the way).
I created this layout using a beautiful green color focus. I used patterned paper from Webster's Pages to showcase my beautiful Zva crystals and flowers.
I misted white cardstock with glimmer mist, then lightly inked the edges with Distress Ink. I used a die cut which I mounted on blue cardstock. I trimmed my die cut using scallop edge scissors. I adhered the die cut to my cardstock, then applied pearls to each scallop using my Pearl Pen.
I used a mask from Tim Holtz (Borderline) to create the design under my photo. I then added stickles and pink pearls.
Here is a close up of the lovely Zva flowers. I layered three styles to create this one of a kind flower.

FRESH FARE Foolproof's cans are on the way.
It's a fairly common path in the beer industry: a passion for beer leads to homebrewing, which leads to making the leap to dreaming about opening a brewery. That's the path that Nick Garrison, the president and founder of Foolproof Brewing Company, set off on four years ago.
"[I] brewed all of the beer for my own wedding back in 2008," Nick says. "During our honeymoon, [my wife Sarah] and I were enjoying a beer outdoors at a nice brewpub in Quebec City. She turned to me and said, 'How cool would it be to own a place like this ourselves?' It was at that exact moment that I knew I was going to open a brewery." (Nick worked in marketing communications in the aerospace industry and left that job last April.)
Four years of business plans, financing, location scouting, equipment-purchasing and -installing, licensing, and an 11th-hour name change followed (in the wake of the Grey Sail/Full Sail trademark dispute, the High Jinx name was dropped; there is a brewing company in Allentown, PA called HiJinx). But on December 28, the dream became a reality: the first kegs were out the door of their space in Pawtucket and Foolproof's beer was flowing from local taps a few days into the New Year (they already have 40 accounts).
The ambitious and accomplished folks at Foolproof — Garrison, brewmaster Damase Olsson, who worked at Pennichuck in New Hampshire and Wormtown in Worcester, and sales manager Kyle Pauly, who did stints with Ithaca Beer and Berkshire Brewing — are aiming high. They're on track for producing 2500 barrels (one barrel = 31 gallons) in their first year, and have room for expansion. They bought an automated canning line that can pump out a case a minute, and started putting their beers in elegantly designed (by RISD grad Liz Weinberg) cans and unique cardboard boxes on Monday (they should hit the shelves in the next week or two).
Oh yeah, the beer. None of this would matter if the product wasn't good, but the Foolproof beers are very good indeed. We headed to Grotto Ave to take the tour and tastes of their offerings (Friday at 4 and 5 pm, Saturday from 12-3 pm, $10 for three sizable pours and a pint glass). Dammy does a brief but thorough Making of Beer 101 lesson, and Nick guides you through the space where the magic happens, explaining the brewing process, dropping a sweet Breaking Bad reference, making a case for beer's complexity trumping wine, and proselytizing for why packaged beer is better in cans. Before, during, and after, you get to savor their exceptional fare. Barstool is a sessionable and supremely well-balanced golden ale (4.5% ABV); the Backyahd IPA (6%) is a generously-hopped delight; and Raincloud is a robust porter (6.5%) with delicious layers of flavor. We also got a sample of Revery, a hefty (10.7%) and savory Russian imperial stout.
Foolproof's slogan is "Your Life. Your Beer." Their brews are definitely enriching the local beer landscape.

How about it? I've been working on this for about the last 45 minutes.
Nice work and I mean that...but HORRIBLE HORRIBLE TERRIBLE CONCEPT, kill it and send it to hell.
You're really getting better with the Gimp....but that car's UUUUGLY...
Hond on a tic, can you even have a spyder sedan? Wouldn't that just be a spyder with 4 doors? Anyway again good chop, but perish the though.
hey-that could Eclipse the sun AND the moon at the same time! i think we need more 4 door 'verts!
Oh yeah, it's ugly. I was looking for a challenge...and I found one. I cut the back end off, moved it back and filled in the rest using whatever tools I had. The only car that would ever look good as a four door convertible is the 300.
ASC did one; the Helios!
Yeah I know, and Chrysler is supposedly going to have a production version.
That would be a sight. It could also mean a Challenger vert is doable.
For some reason, it reminds me of the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile
....he he...... limo IZE a mini next ha ha ha ha... that would look funny. but a tip to look legit, shorten the front doors and don't extend the wheelbase so much, and try to curve the rear door over the fender a little ***
Quote:....he he...... limo IZE a mini next ha ha ha ha...
I should have put my bronco in there, instead of it's own thread
but how?they can't get the 300 convert to work until they can get that super long roof to pass reliability tests.
ASC will be building it, they've done this sort of thing before and they're known for doing quality, reliable work.

"It didn't surprise me at all...He's been growing & building towards this opportunity."Tom
youre probably right though about MMA. However, that has really only gained ground the past 6 or 7 years.....boxing was losing it in the mid 90s, and companies like UFC definitely took advantage of that. smart of them!
Oderint Dum Metuant
It's too bad, I'm too good....
i thought i found a smokin' deal on a new xbox for my brother(his broke)....it was advertised as a black 4gb xbox WITH kinect for $99......but then when you read on, it says you have to pay for 2 years of xbox live up front. >.<
**** you microsoft!! i'm not paying you to use MY OWN internet that i already pay for...
my xbox hasn't even been turned on in like 6 months since i last played madden lol
Oderint Dum Metuant
It's too bad, I'm too good....
Basically they say its $99, but then say you have to signup for the 2 year xbox subscription in order to get 2 coupon codes, thus lowering the price from $200.
It's just dumb, cuz you dont need the subscription to use it...just to use it online.
Oderint Dum Metuant
It's too bad, I'm too good....
Think well bring Jacobs back next year? At least hell be fresh


text: It's kinda' like the........."do this, don't do that......stand this way, not like that..........hold it this way, not that way.............." I agree it is best practice to choose your carry weapon carefully and then practice with it often using the ammo you carry. But...........that doesn't mean one shouldn't try different guns, calibers, etc. Just be sure you are proficient with what you carry. Although I started out liking 9mm, I only own one now. I now carry the .45 about 98% of the time and own several other .45's. I also own or have owned several other calibers (probably like the majority of the people here do) in .22 LR, .22 Mag, .44 mag., .44 Special, 10 mm, .40 S&W, .32 S&W, .357 Mag, .38 Special, .380, .45 Colt, etc. Variety will spice up your life.

Why Are We Afraid to Teach Kids to Say Vagina?

Watching The View this morning the controversy whirred around reproductive parts, and what we, as parents, should be teaching our children to call them. The consensus: It just doesn't seem right to hear a little girl referring to her breasts. Boobies is much cuter. Because we're concerned about the cuteness of these body parts on a seven-year-old?

First off, the Glock 30 is NOT a 45mm pistol. There is no such thing. It is a .45ACP, which is a .45 caliber round.
Second, the .45ACP is not a cheap round to shoot and I would not recommend such a compact gun and such a large caliber for a new shooter.
I normally recommend a revolver for new shooters but if you would like a pistol, I suggest you look at the Glock 19. This pistol is chambered for the 9mm round and its magazines hold 15 rounds each. It is large enough to shoot well and small enough that it can be carried concealed.
Before you do anything, I would suggest you take the time to complete a basic handgun course.
Good luck.

Surprise marriage proposal inside governor's office
BOISE, Idaho - Wednesday was a special day at the governor's office for one young couple.
Curtis Bean and Kandra Polatis are both from Blackfoot. Polatis is now a student at Boise State University. She had no idea Bean was around, but he had arranged with Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter and Rep. Neil Anderson of Blackfoot, to surprise Polatis with a marriage proposal inside the governor's office.
Afterward, they said they would remember this for the rest of their lives.
"I was just really confused for a moment, especially with the tux. It just threw me off. So I don't know, I kind of figured it out after a few seconds, but I was just shocked initially," said Polatis.
"I was actually really nervous. I knew she would say yes, but ..." said Bean.
Afterward, they even got the chance to pose for pictures with Otter. We are not sure when the date is yet.


text: After spending three nights in Orlando, I know how why most of you miss what happens on the late games. Although I stayed up late each night to watch those games, I probably could have went to bed on time and guessed what the result would have been with the LA teams falling each time. I am sure that the local radio Laker jocks were second guessing Metta for passing the rock to Steve Blake instead of going to the Black Mamba.....but he could have missed the same shot. (one sick fan issued a death threat to Blake for missing the shot...) Hung out on planes most of last evening so I missed last nights Spurs-Clippers beatdown....and after seeing game one, I will probably skip the tape of that game and just watch the tape of last night's season ending episode of ABC's Scandal. Definitely won't invest any cash into going down to Staples this weekend, as the only team celebrating will probably be the NHL LA kings.

Ordered my first Ciaté nail polishes from beautybay.com (free intl shipping!!! click click click!) You can view the site in SGD$$$ and they stock many brands, including RMK, Urban Decay (NAKED2!!!), Deborah Lippmann etc DEFNITELY somewhere you don't want to shop, if you can't control yourself. Hahaa ... Can't remember how much each of these costs, but I think they are in the S$14 range.
I picked three colors, one quirky, one just for the name and one 'famous' shade.
When they arrived in a little over a week, I was very excited. The bottles look bigger than I had expected, and the brushes are the big ones like the OPI polishes. The fomula on all these are very smooth, and have high glossy finish.
Vintage is a army green type of color that is an interesting mix of cream, grey and green. It belongs to the same category of Essie's Sew Psyched (I didn't do any comparisons here, no more clean nail wheels), and also Chanel's Khaki Vert. Though I think Vintage has more grey undertones. Opaque in 2 coats.
Cookies & Cream is a nude shade, which is also the IT color if you hear people rave about Ciaté nail polishes. It is a sheer-ish neutral tone color, with a little grey (again) which makes it a rather cool toned nude. There is no hint of pink and beige... just a very putty sort of shade. I had to apply 3 even shades to get full color payoff.
Fade to Griege is a color I pick just because of the name. It belongs to the same family of Metro Chic (again, I have Metro Chic, but apologies for not comparing them side by side). It is a dusty grey purple, and is opqaue in 2 coats.
Here they are:
Fade to Griege
Cookies & Cream
Have you tried out Ciaté nail polishes? Which are your faves (recommendations)? I am contemplating a couple of wicked reds. Hmmm...
Thanks for looking!

Quotes of the day
posted at 8:31 pm on December 15, 2012 by Allahpundit
The massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., bloodiest attack of its kind in the nation's history, stands as a possible tipping point after Washington's decade-long aversion even to talking about stricter gun laws…
It remains to be seen whether Sandy Hook will break the usual cycle of universal shock fading into political reality. That reality is based on a combination of powerful gun lobbying and public opinion, which has shifted against tougher gun control and stayed that way. However lawmakers react this time, it's the president's call whether the issue fades again or takes its place alongside the legacy-shaping initiatives of his time, with all the peril that could mean for his party…
One certainty in the weeks to come is that both parties in Washington will carefully watch public opinion on gun control and the Second Amendment, and whether any impact lasts. Opposition to stricter laws has proved resilient.
[A]dvocates of gun control say the shootings at an elementary school in Newtown might be different for two reasons: the victims were children, eliciting a gut-wrenching response across the country, and the National Rifle Association proved to be a political paper tiger in the 2012 election.
"The political atmosphere has clearly changed because now we have solid evidence that the N.R.A. just was not effective in the last election cycle," said Kristen Rand, legislative director for the Violence Policy Center, a gun-control advocacy group. "This just has a feel that they won't get away with doing nothing this time."
Pivotal players in any legislative action would be the half dozen Democratic senators up for re-election in 2014 who represent states that tend to be more protective of gun owners' rights: Sen. Kay Hagan of North Carolina, Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Sen. Tim Johnson of South Dakota, and Sen. Mark Begich of Alaska…
Two other Democrats also crucial to any Senate action would be Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and senator-elect Joe Donnelly of Indiana…
Whether Obama decides that he wants to lead an effort to persuade Congress to enact new measures to limit access to guns may in part depend on how the public responds in the next week.
Adam Lanza, the troubled nerd who turned a Connecticut school into a slaughterhouse, learned how to shoot under the watchful eye of his demanding mom Nancy.
"She said she would often go target shooting with her kids," landscaper Dan Holmes said.
Nancy Lanza wound up being the first of her son's 27 victims when he used one of her guns to shoot her dead.
Holmes, who often mowed the grass at the Lanza's sprawling Newtown home, told Reuters the doomed mom was proud of her arsenal and once showed him a "high end rifle" she had just purchased.
U.S. school districts have spent millions of dollars on metal detectors, security cameras and elaborate emergency-response plans since the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School, but almost nothing could have prevented Friday's massacre at a Connecticut elementary school, security experts say…
Still, Bond said, there is no way for students and teachers to protect themselves when someone begins shooting with a weapon. He said even a security guard and locked doors could not have stopped the killer.
Without knowing the school's security system, Kenneth Trump, president of consulting firm National School Safety and Security Services, stresses that schools need to be "looking for these lone wolf actors."
"As a father, I would love to have a 100 percent guarantee that nothing bad will ever happen in my kids' school, but as a rational school safety professional I know nobody can give me a 100 percent guarantee on safety," said Trump.
3) We must find a way to make it more difficult for the non-adjudicated mentally ill to come into possession of weapons. This is crucially important, but very difficult, because it would require the cooperation of the medical community — of psychiatrists, therapists, school counselors and the like — and the privacy issues (among other issues) are enormous. But: It has to be made more difficult for sociopaths, psychopaths and the otherwise violently mentally-ill (who, in total, make up a small portion of the mentally ill population) to buy weapons.
4) People should have the ability to defend themselves. Mass shootings take many lives in part because no one is firing back at the shooters. The shooters in recent massacres have had many minutes to complete their evil work, while their victims cower under desks or in closets. One response to the tragic reality that we are a gun-saturated country is to understand that law-abiding, well-trained, non-criminal, wholly sane citizens who are screened by the government have a role to play in their own self-defense, and in the defense of others (read The Atlantic article to see how one armed school administrator stopped a mass shooting in Pearl Mississippi). I don't know anything more than anyone else about the shooting in Connecticut at the moment, but it seems fairly obvious that there was no one at or near the school who could have tried to fight back.
Imagine that you ran a school district, and some rich foundation, worried about school shootings, gave you the following offer: We'll hire armed security guards for you, who could try to do something about the school shooter. These aren't going to be highly trained police officers, just typical security guards, given some modest training and subjected to basic background checks. It's not like they're highly skilled; security guards rarely are. But they have a basic understanding of how to shoot, and when to shoot…
But wait! The foundation has just learned that its investment portfolio has done very badly, and the grant doesn't go through. But someone else suggests: Instead of hiring special-purpose security guards, why not take some of your existing employees — teachers, administrators, and the like — and offer them a deal: They'd go through some modest training and subjected to basic background checks, and in exchange they'd be given the right to carry the same guns that the security guards would have had…
Is there some reason why the armed security guard is safe and helpful, but the armed teacher, administrator, or staffer — er, the teacher with a volunteer security guard license — would be useless and a menace?
The general decline in gun-related violence and the inability even of mental health professionals to identify future mass killers should be the essential starting points of any serious policy discussion generated by the absolutely horrific slaughter at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. We should also add a third starting point: Few good policies come from rapid responses to deeply felt injuries. Many of the same people who are now calling for immediate action with regard to gun control recognize that The Patriot Act, rushed through Congress in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, was a terrible piece of legislation that ultimately did nothing to protect Americans even as it vastly expanded the state's ability to surveil law-abiding citizens. There's no reason to think that federal, state, or local gun control laws promulgated now would result in anything different.
If hard cases make bad laws, it's even more true that rare crimes make terrible public policy. In a piece for Quartz, journalist Lenore Skenazy recalls that the deadliest school massacre in U.S. history took place in Michigan in 1927, when a disgruntled school-board official blew up 38 people, including himself. She writes that the real difference between now and then is the immediacy of the media, which shrinks the distance between victims and the rest of us. Even as that allows us to have more empathy for the grieving, it creates the conditions for an overreaction that will ultimately be little more than symbolic…

Discussion in 'November 2010' started by roscoe36, Oct 19, 2010.
Sounds like Sheed taught the Joggernaught a few things before he left Detroit....
LOL...that sounds like Blazer fan circa 19-J.R. Rider... Still blaming a guy 2...3....4 years AFTER he's left the team....LOL
You are forgetting he still lives in MI. Next thing that is Rodney's fault will be the first thing........
That's a good article Ernie. THAT my friends is what cost us the game. It wasn't the benching of Stuckey. It wasn't lacking Rip/Bynum. It even wasn't Tay running the point. It was Charlie's defense. But, the fault lies squarely on Q for NOT seeing what everybody else in the world saw and adjusting his lineup.
There is plenty of Blam for last nights lose, but I disagree with Q being all at fault. Stuckey has to take a huge amount of this.... I don't care what beef you have with a coach, you disrespected not only your fellow team members.... but also the fan base as a whole by not going back into the game when your number was called. I also have to say this comes home to roost to Joe for letting the players run the show here for the last 8 years..... Whether you want Q as the coach is a very open topic and I waffle back and forth on it myself. BUT players play and coaches coach and in Detroit for the last 8 years when heads butt the coach has been the loser and thats why we are here. This is going to either ruin this team (not that there seems to be much to ruin), or... just maybe Q will finally take leadership and control of this team and start to mold it how maybe he's wanted to for the last year but has always backed down to the players (think how the coach had to break the team in hoosiers :P). We need a strong coach with the young players/talent I feel we have before there a lost cause like the folks from 04 that wasted away a few championships IMO.
Only saw the first quarter...debating now if I should watch the remaining on my DVR. I did listen in the car while driving downtown and could not for the life of me figure out why the Hawks announcer was not calling Stuckeys name....thought maybe he was hurt or in foul trouble. When me and my son got to Staples we lost satellite coverage as we drove into the underground garage so when it went out, the Pistons up 81-80. I told my son that we are going into crunch time and though the Pistons had put together a nice run to retake the lead, I had no faith they would hold on to it. Of course when we checked the progress of the game on his smart phone, prior to going into the Clipper game, my fear held was realized..... Looking at ESPN "Hawks" highlights, it appears that when Williams went out, Zaza, came in and Horford switched to PF and that was the end.... Fire all of the coaches and the GM.....bring on Laimbeer and Mahorn to run this band of missfits.
With the loss of Jerebko, we've got NOBODY at PF right now who can defend the position adequately. Perhaps Monroe and Ben Wallace could become a good duo on D. But asking a rookie to solidify the PF defense is as far-fetched as thinking Daye (who currently has less than good strength for the position) or that CV can do it. We need to face it: we're a tiny undermanned team. We've got some nice pieces for the future (Stuckey - if he doesn't implode, WTF is going on with him? Very worrisome)- Daye and Monroe and JJ and Gordon, seem like keepers to me. We're goint to lose a crapload of games this year.
Summary from rotoworld... The Pistons, who fell to 0-5 last night, are in full meltdown mode and Rodney Stuckey is suddenly at the center of the storm. John Kuester twice summoned him to come into the game last night but was simply ignored by the point guard. So Kuester didn't mess with him in the second half and Stuckey finished with just 13 minutes and five points. Kuester called Stuckey and the rest of the team out on Tuesday and has apparently lost them. Joe Dumars really should be on the hot seat for the way he's run the team into the ground over the last five years, while Kuester simply needs to go so fantasy owners can on with their lives. It's a real shame, too, as Stuckey was playing at such a high level this year. Will Bynum is hurt, which left DaJuan Summers to handle the point guard duties in the second-half loss to the Hawks. I have no idea how this is going to end, but they can't fire the players. Stuckey faces disciplinary action, but don't be surprised if Tayshaun Prince or another veteran pulls a similar move, as it's clear the players are fed up with how things are going in the locker room and on the bench.!
Someone will have to pull a Magic Johnson and go to management and get Kuerster ousted. When Magic did that in 1981, the lakers went to one of their radio announcers and Patrick Riley was born......Looks like Rick Mahorn is the obvious choice here
Q's mistake wasn't sitting Stuckey. His mistake was not realizing that Atlanta kept exploiting our defensive weakness in CV. He should've taken CV out when we were up 5 and inserted Wallace or Maxiell to maintain the lead. Ain't that the sad truth. Our best post defender last night was T-Mac when three times in the 3rd & 4th quarters he had to defend the Atlanta bigs after a pick-n-roll switch.
That statement isn't worded right. Stuckey was in the game, when he got pulled and benched for the night. Kuester called Stuckey over, trying to get his attention while he was in the game and Stuckey ignored him, leading to the benching.
Last night I looked at the game and said, "Good D Charlie!" about 3 or 4 times, I was impressed, but down the stretch, we was as bad you could get. I found it hilarious that Q took out our best PG (T-MAC) for defensive purposes, well...... actually I thought it was a good move, but he left Charlie Garbage, I mean Lottery Ticket in the game?????? The most alarming and surprising thing so far this season, team speed. We are sooooooo slow, Tay, Ben, Daye, Gordon, and Lottery Ticket are all super slow, transition D is awful.
The thing I noticed about CV last night was he was very good on team defense (sagging, helping, rotating, defending screen and roll, etc.). He got into HUGE trouble, however, when the Hawks isolated him and he had to guard someone (anyone) one-on-one.
A lot has been written about whose fault it is, the players, or the coach for losing a game. That is not how it goes. Each individual has responsibility, not "the players." The coach is unique, in that, all coaching results fall on his shoulders. He may be part of a team, but in large part, he chooses that team - or at least who he listens to within that team. So basically, if you can't find fault with any individual player, you got two choices to consider. One, its bad coaching, or two, the other team is just better than your team. Yes, the coaching had a lot to do with the loss. But Atlanta had a lot to do with the loss too, as they simply made a ton of outside shots when we did manage upon occasion to shore up the interior D. The players? Name one, and what he failed to do (limit discussion to what that player is actually capable of), and we can discuss that.
We had very few turnovers yet Atlanta scored a ton of transition buckets, why, because Players didn't get back on D in transition. Everyone one them were guilty at some point or another during the course of the game, and that's not individual responsibility, it's a team game that requires a team effort to win, there is no need to play the Lee Game and single any individual out. It was stated earlier down the stretch of a tight ball game in the fourth quarter you need a player who can get or create shots, hit big shots (from deep) and play tough defense. On this team our best defensive players are our worst offensive players, the best scorers are our worst defenders and they're really bad. If Greg Monroe played D like Maxiel we'd be OK, if CV could play D like Maxiel we'd be OK, but both are awful right now. And poor Austin Daye, in his 2nd year we've asked him to play and learn 4 different positions and the least of those positions is the one he's actually good at. This 0-5 start is much like the financial meltdown, there's enough blame for everyone to go around.
True 'dat. Maybe they should play Joggin' Rod and Mr. Adjustment Ben Gordon separately and pair them with 4 slow guys. (The competition for these positions will be Dream Team like.) The 4 slow guys will rebound, throw outlet passes and just stay back on D like an out of shape guy at the Y while JR and The Adjustment go one on 5 at the other end. (They're probably going to do this anyway.) Sheed and his half court shooting would really work in this offense as a last ditch outlet.
We're all mad and angry and frustrated, etc. However, here's the thing. With JJ out, we just don't have the interior horses to compete. We're slaughtered nightly by the D of our PF's. Daye's actually our best D guy at that position - Maxiell doesn't have the footspeed or height, CV doesn't provide much defense as that's genetic for him -- but none of the guys we can use there is anything other than a liability, so we have no hopes of stopping any team down the stretch. Our permiter guys try to cheat in and help and that leaves their men a ton of room. We can't provide an answer as a team, because there is no possible viable answer. It's not that Coach Q's moves are bad or anything - it's just that there are no moves to make that can help.
Jeb is my boy but there's only so much that a 2nd year Swedish popcorn-fetcher could do to bolster this pathetic "front line". (I put the words "front line" in quotations due to the fact that what the Pistons have right now can hardly be called a front line)
Whatchoo talkin bout, BDL? Jeb'd be mixin it UP down there fosho! 15-15 average AT LEAST!

Best lenses for your Canon EOS 700D: Standard zooms, primes, and moderate telephoto lensesBy Kevin Carter - Friday June 14 2013 Lens Recommendations
This is the second part of the series of choosing suitable lenses for the APS-C format EOS 700D / REBEL T5i / Kiss X7i, where we'll discuss 'standard' lenses (zooms and primes) as well as short telephotos. The 18.1-Mpix 'Hybrid CMOS' sensor used is similar to those in Canon's other current APS-C models, including the new EOS 100D (REBEL SL1) and semi-pro EOS 7D, so our findings may be valuable even if you don't use a EOS 700D / REBEL T5i / Kiss X7i.

Lenses tested on D7100
Is DXoMark going to test some lenses on Nikon D7100 and publish articles regarding the test and comparison results? Really hope that there will be similar tests conducted on Nikon DX bodies.

Re: Lenses tested on D7100
Hello everybody. First of all thanks to the DXOMARK team for their outstanding work. It would indeed be nice to have the newer Nikon 24MP DX bodies tested. I think that many people are intested in buying some new lenses but are waiting to see how they perform on the 24MP sensors (d3200, d5200, d7100). It will be very interesting to see the real impact of those extra pixels in terms of actual image resolution ? Greetings everybody.

Still a great phone
There might be no major upgrade but the T5i still has the latest and best features today. But if you are looking for "beginners" or entry-level dslr, you should consider the Rebel SL1. Read the review at http://www.squidoo.com/canon-eos-rebel-sl1-review

And Kase...What do you think happened here? Do you think he hunted him down and just shot him for no reason? Do you think he just was all of the sudden filled with hate that he just killed the kid because he wanted to?

You have already claimed that "there was no sign of a struggle".

What do you actually think happened?

Ehhhh thats kinda what it sounds like. It SOUNDS like he thought since the gated community had a black guy rob a house he should on guard for all black people coming into his community. He saw Martin wearing a hood and walking in the rain back to his dads fiancee's house, thought this was one of the robbers, called 911 for backup, went outside and pulled the gun on Martin, told him to put his hands up, (Martin probably had his hands in the kangaroo pouch since it was raining) Martin pulled his hands out of his pockets holding the skittles or iced tea, Zimmerman thought it was a gun, BANG!!
What about the witnesses that say they heard cries for help. What about the witnesses (some who support both sides saying there was a fight?

Do we disregard all the witness accounts and just draw a conclusion that casts Zimmerman in the most negative light?
[/quote]But the 'media' told you about the witness accounts, so is that now discredited???
Hey, thats my conclusion, you can formulate your own, Ill allow it
...MH are you moonlighting as a reporter??? LOL

Deep Cool's first watercooler, the Gamer Storm Maelstrom 240
Subject: Cases and Cooling | October 31, 2014 - 01:35 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Deepcool, Gamer Storm Maelstrom 240, LCS, water cooling
The Gamer Storm Maelstrom 240 has a unique look with its LED and bright red fans but also hides a pump with a closed impeller which is intended to increase the performance at the same time as it reduces vibrations. As the name implies the radiator roughly 240mm in size, 274 x 120 x 27mm to be exact with 0.2mm high-density water micro channels. HiTech Legion tested it against a variety of coolers and found the performance to be similar to the competitions, though unfortunately at a much higher price point. However it was almost silent in operation and the fans could be run on low speed without effecting the performance so for those who have a strong desire for a silent system might be willing to pay the $106 MSRP.
"Deep Cool has done this with their first liquid CPU cooler, the Gamer Storm Maelstrom 240 AIO Liquid Cooling. Do we see the force of a Maelstrom being represented? You be the judge. They use a unique pump with closed impeller to offer more power, less vibration, and lower noise as a result."

The AMD Closed Loop System
Closed loop water cooling is not new, but it certainly is a pretty hot topic now. Some of the first units out there had some interesting issues (like internal corrosion clogging everything up), but once those teething problems were solved the closed loop systems turned out to be pretty effective and easy to install. Initially these units had the performance of a top end air cooler, but with a lot lower noise. The latest generation of liquid cooling systems (LCS) is now further improved and provides performance approaching that of larger, more complex cooling systems. These products will not replace exotic systems like phase change, but they provide a lot of cooling in a fairly decent sized package.
Clean lines and graphics give this box a striking look without being tacky.
Last year with the introduction of the AMD FX-8150, AMD decided to create a SKU which not only included the CPU, but also a fairly robust LCS. This unit is based on an Asetek design which features a double wide cooler/reservoir with the push-me/pull-ya fan combination. Other manufacturers offer this particular product under a variety of names, but this is simply an AMD FX branded unit with some small cosmetic changes to differentiate it from other units.
AMD will eventually offer this cooler with the new Vishera based FX-8350 CPU (or at least we assume they will), and we wanted to take this combination out for a spin. In our FX-8350 review we did not hit the overclocking targets that AMD had set. In most literature that we were provided AMD stated that most FX-8350 parts would be able to hit around 5 GHz with some aggressive cooling. In our review I was able to get to around 4.6 GHz max and around 4.5 GHz stable with better than average cooling. The results were not as impressive as we had hoped, but we again did not have a top end cooling solution such as what AMD provides with this particular LCS.
With a brand new LCS in hand, I retested the FX-8350 to see how hard it could be pushed. I also wanted to see how this particular unit performance in terms of thermal properties. The results were quite surprising for me, as this is my first real experience with a LCS.

AMD Considers Bundling FX Processors With Sealed Loop Water Coolers (LCS)
Subject: Cases and Cooling, Processors | August 13, 2011 - 02:53 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: amd, FX, octocore, water cooling, sealed loop, LCS, hsf
According to Xbit Labs, AMD is considering switching out the usual air cooler (HSF) for a sealed loop liquid cooling solution (LCS) for its high end FX Processors. Specifically, AMD wants to pair their highest end eight core processor (and possibly the next highest end eight core chip) with the sealed loop liquid cooling solution. This information, they believe, comes from a "source with knowledge of the company's plans."
If you are not familiar with the sealed loop water coolers, PC Perspective reviewed the Corsair H70 processor cooler last year and it is a good example. Sealed loop water coolers are similar to the large DIY water cooling loops comprised of a large radiator, copper CPU block, pump, and reservoir all connected in a loop by tubing; however, they usually have smaller radiators and pumps as well as coolant that cannot be refilled (and should not have to be). This coolant carries heat away from the processor to be dissipated through a radiator. Corsair in particular has heavily invested in this once very niche product with it's H series of coolers.
Traditionally, both Intel and AMD have been content in pairing their chips with mid-range but cheap air coolers that did a decent job of keeping the processors within their thermal limits at stock speeds. Enthusiasts, and especially those interested in overclocking, have generally ditched the included cooler in favor of a more powerful and/or quieter aftermarket cooler. Needless to say, including a cooler, especially with high end chips that will likely go to enthusiasts, that's never even used only serves to add additional unnecessary cost for both consumers and the manufacturer. Thus, this move to bundle a more powerful sealed loop water cooler with its high end chips may be an attempt by AMD to futher appeal to enthusiasts and keep with their traditional image of being friendly to overclockers and hardware enthusiasts. Having and using a water cooler that is supported by the chip maker certainly doesn't hurt, especially if it ever came down to warranty and RMA situations. On the other hand, enthusiasts can be very picky about which cooler to use in their systems; therefore, bundling a cooler that is sure to add even more extra cost to the package may not be the right move for AMD. At best, consumers are likely to see an extra $50 or so added to the sure to be pricey highest end eight core chips.
Their idea, if true, surely has merit, but is it wise? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

I feel its not even that he's a bust, just there is Noo room on thus team, our other guys are better and he cant contribute
I feel its not even that he's a bust, just there is Noo room on thus team, our other guys are better and he cant contribute
But assuming that is an accurate evaluation of him, then we are all engaged in an exercise of semantics on this board.
Because, given the fact that Jernigan was drafted in the 3rd rd of 2011 draft, 4 months prior to Smith actually leaving at the last minute via FA (indicating that until that last moment Giants' FO had a reasonable expectation of Smith re signing with the Giants, according to everything they said after the "surprise" departure of Smith), given the fact that in the 2012 off season Giants chose to allow Manningham to depart via FA, given this current off season Giants chose to allow Barden and Hixon (2 WRs supposedly "ahead" of Jernigan) to leave via FA, and given that the Giants picked up little-used 4-year vet Murphy via FA--the fact that even the obsessed, die-hard Jernigan fans feel compelled to defend Jernigan's lack of production to date indicate this guy has not even come close to living up to Giants expectations for a 3rd rd WR pick.
As you understandably state, even today there appears to be no room for him on this team.
After two complete injury-free seasons, and after the loss of 4 receivers and the addition of an under used 4 year vet over the course of those two seasons, it is still questionable as to what Jernigan can contribute.
At the very least, if he had proven himself to be a reliable contributor as a kick/punt returner, there would be very little debate right now about his usefulness. He has not proven himself in that regard, which to me is his greatest failing after his first 2 years..
(BTW, David Tyree was drafted as technically a WR in the 03 draft, but Fassil said at the time that he was selected as much for his anticipated special teams value as much as a potential WR contributor. And Tyree delivered as a special teams star right out the gate as a rookie. Point of this is that while Tyree was then , similar to Jernigan now, little used as a WR, he had had demonstrative value to the team. Jernigan, after 2 years, has not so demonstrated)
Regardless of whether or not the "bust" label is correctly applied to Jernigan (I say it is correctly applied), it cannot be disputed he has definitely not delivered--as a receiver or as a valuable special teams player-- after 2 complete, injury-free, seasons.
I just find it curious that on this board, in every thread concerning Cruz and/or Nicks future contracts, the prevailing critiques of either or both is the old saw "it's not about what will you do for me, but what have you done for me lately" in the NFL. Yet concerning Jernigan the script is flipped. Why is that?
Last edited by gmen46; 04-23-2013 at 04:28 PM.
the kid doesn't get on the field inless it's in 4 wide sets and we barely run those..when has he had a chance to show you he isn't valuable as a receiver? Can't call someone a bust that never got a chance. Moss at least had time on the field to prove he sucked.
As far as a punt returner he looked scared back there, I agree with you. As a kick returner he showed some flashes but too inconsistent
Their is still the problem of getting on the field when Cruz is healthy.
Gilbride couldn't figure out how to utilize multiple inside receivers.
and anyone using the bust label is being a little absurd for a few legitimate reasons;
WR is a position that can take a few years to learn, and it's taken some of the greats 3 yrs to get it down. Toomer would have been a never was if 2 yrs was enough of a sample in determining a players value. Jerry Rice has said himself many times how the game was fast for him the first few years.
Another valid reason imo is the scheme. its not a plug n play system. it takes time to digest the scheme. we've heard and read this for years amd years now.
i wont argue that JJ has been a ghost for the most part during the seasons. that does not mean he does not have skill/game that can be a contributingg factor, ST or not.
JJ certainly looked dynamic in the last couple of games. I was shocked (and pleased) to see it. Where has he been all this time?

Undergraduate events
Visit our beautiful campus and find out more about your future at Glasgow
Other programmes in the subject of Infection, Immunity and Inflammation:
Other programmes in the subject of Life Sciences:
Parasitology deals with a wide range of infective agents, ranging from the microscopic protozoans that cause malaria and sleeping sickness to large parasitic worms.
You'll receive practical training in aspects of epidemiology at the Marine Biology Station at Millport in the Firth of Clyde.
You will be given a general introduction to all aspects of modern biology and will be encouraged to acquire general scientific skills.
In semester 1, you will develop your knowledge of fundamental aspects of biology. In semester 2, you will be introduced to specialist subject areas according to your interests (e.g. animal biology; biomolecular sciences; human biology; infection biology).
You will also study other subjects in years 1 and 2: see Flexible degrees.
If you progress to Honours (years 3 and 4), you will learn about many aspects of modern parasitology with particular emphasis on treatment, pathogenicity
and the unique biochemistry of parasites. In year 3 you will study infectious diseases, immune responses and the biochemistry and molecular biology of parasites, bacteria and viruses. Year 3 is run as a joint course with the Microbiology and Virology degree programmes.
In fourth year you will study four specialised Parasitology related topics chosen from a list of Honours options, as well as an Advanced Studies course. You will undertake a research project under the supervision of a researcher.
Parasitology can be taken as an MSci, which includes an additional placement year between year 3 and the final year of the degree. The placement year is normally spent doing research in industry or a research institute, in the UK or overseas. This is a great opportunity to develop research skills, and useful contacts, for a whole year.
The list of available final-year optional courses is subject to change each year. In addition, places in optional courses may be limited, so students are not guaranteed a place on a particular final-year option.
You will have the opportunity to apply to study abroad. There are currently two options available: the Erasmus+ Programme and the International Exchange Programme. See Study abroad.
We adjust these entry requirements for eligible applicants, from AABB at S5/S6, based upon completion of a pre-entry programme. For pre-entry programme eligibility and adjusted grade requirements, see Access Glasgow.
Typical entry requirements for European qualifications: Science European Requirements [pdf]
Accepted Science subjects:
Please note: all A-Level, International Baccalaureate, and other EU entry requirements must be achieved in first sitting.
Applicants who attain exceptional grades may be considered for Advanced Entry (commence their degree at year 2) or Faster Route (additional classes enabling them to condense a 4 year Honours degree into three years). The availability of Advanced Entry or Faster Route will vary by science subject and thus reduce the flexibility that a student has in selecting optional subjects.
Applicants who are interested in Advanced Entry or Faster Route should apply for year 2 (Y2) on their UCAS application. In the event that the specific subject is unavailable or their application is unsuccessful they will automatically be considered for year 1 entry without having to submit a separate UCAS application.
Indicative Grades for an applicant to be considered for Advanced Entry or Faster Route are:
In all cases the mandatory requirements specified must also be met. All applicants should use the standard UCAS code but apply for Y2 entry.
Applicants may be invited for interview.
International students with academic qualifications below those required should contact our partner institution, Glasgow International College, who offer a range of foundation certificates.
For applicants whose first language is not English, the University sets a minimum English Language proficiency level.
International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Academic module (not General Training):
Common equivalent English language qualifications:
* Please note that TOEFL is still acceptable for admission to this programme for both home/EU and international students.
For international students, the Home Office has confirmed that the University can choose to use TOEFL to make its own assessment of English language ability for visa applications to degree level courses. We therefore still accept TOEFL tests taken in the last two years for admission to this programme.
Pre-sessional courses
The University of Glasgow accepts evidence of the required language level from the English for Academic Study Unit Pre-sessional courses. We also consider other BALEAP accredited pre-sessional courses:
What do I do if...
The University's School of Modern Languages and Cultures offers a range of Pre-Sessional Courses to bring you up to entry level. The course is accredited by BALEAP, the UK professional association for academic English teaching; see Links.
Please contact the Recruitment and International Office: firstname.lastname@example.com
If you require a Tier 4 student visa, your qualification must be one of the secure English language tests accepted by UK Border Agency:
It is a visa requirement to provide information on your level of English based on an internationally recognised and secure English language test. All test reports must be no more than 2 years old. A list of these can be found on the UK Border Agency website. If you have never taken one of these tests before, you can get an initial idea of your level by using the Common European Framework self-assessment grid which gives you a level for each skill (e.g. listening B1/writing B2 etc.) However, please note that this is not a secure English language test and it is not sufficient evidence of your level of English for visa requirements.
For further information about English language, please see School of Modern Languages and Cultures: English for Academic Study.
Our graduates follow many interesting career paths. Many continue to study at Masters or PhD level, eventually progressing to research careers. Parasitology is a very international subject and some graduates work in developing countries on parasitic disease, others in biotechnology or in the pharmaceutical industry, on drug development, diagnostics and vaccines for human or veterinary infections. With the subject's clear relevance to international development, some graduates work in advocacy and policy, or in relevant charities and organisations. Parasitology graduates also gain many transferable skills and are highly employable in many professional areas, including teaching.
When applying you will need to know the UCAS code for the subject or subject-combination that you wish to apply to:
You may apply for transfer to the MSci mid-programme. MSci applications are NOT taken via UCAS.
How and when you pay tuition fees depends on where you're from: see Tuition fees for details.
We offer a wide range of scholarships to our undergraduates, including both home/EU and international students. The University is committed to supporting students and rewarding academic excellence. That's why we've invested more than £1m in additional scholarship funding in recent years.

text: Hello! Very nice site. I was drawn here by my curiosity for the Diamondback "Drifter" Chopper Bicycle. I could not find a picture of one until I was directed here by a google pic link. I have one of these and am interested in selling it. I have owned it for about 7 years?? and I bought it at a local bicycle shop in Lakewood Wisconsin. The Bike is black, with only a scuff on one of the pedals and on one of the handgrip ends. It has been hanging in my garage now for 2 years and it's time to pass it on. Has 2 coats of carnauba wax on it and is in near mint shape. Tires still have the little sprue-teats on them! What I liked about it was it was big enough for a smaller adult to ride and it rolled down the road so NICE! The owner of the bike shop said he had two of them (one Red) and was having trouble selling the Black one. Nothing wrong with it, just didn't sell?? He noted that it was rare because only a few were made and further that the rear wheel on this one was "hand-laced" and had a rare "radial" spoke pattern opposite the sprocket. I have never seen another one like this. The sprocket side was cross laced for strength. The front wheel is radial-laced and looks really cool, but I think all of them shipped this way. The forks are chrome and the trees are billet aluminum. Very cool! I had read a comment that the Diamondback beat the pants off of the cheaper Schwinn OCC and WCC Models and I agree. Also found a pic of one that had a 2 stroke chicom bike motor bolted on, but they had to cut the seat tube to get it to fit. Anyway, if somebody here is interested, or know someone who is, I can be messaged through this site or my ebay handle is subvert13 100% + FB and a member for over 10 years!! So hey, keep the rubber side down and enjoy the breeze! Best Regards to all, Brettski
