Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett says he has no recollection of making the left-field suggestion that coach Alastair Clarkson should stand down for at least one match during the club's poor start to last season.
The outspoken chairman reportedly suggested the shock move of replacing Clarkson with an assistant coach for one game in the wake of the Hawks' 43-point loss to Essendon in round six, a fifth consecutive defeat for the club.
Newspaper reports this morning suggested Kennett held the belief that Clarkson would benefit from looking at the club's situation from a different angle while another coach took the reins.
Kennett was quizzed on morning radio and said he had no recollection of proposing the idea to key Hawthorn staff.
''When your producer rang me up this morning about it, I was somewhat surprised if I may put it that way,'' Kennett told SEN.
''I said to your producer I don't remember that ever being said or suggested but in case I have had a brain fade, please let me have a few minutes to check with the sort of people that I would have made that suggestion to had I made it.
''I've checked with my CEO with whom I have a close working relationship, with the head of my football department with whom I have a close working relationship, I've talked with a board member with whom I have a close working relationship,
''And none of them can recall me ever making that suggestion. I myself can never recall making that suggestion. I'm somewhat shocked that firstly I don't remember making it.
''As an individiual don't have that authority at my club. At my club we work as a board ... things are decided by the board.''

Pune, April 13, 2005:
MphasiS is working very closely with the cyber branch of the Pune
police, and also with NASSCOM and the client bank, to ensure that
all those involved in the bank fraud in Pune are brought to book.
MphasiS will spare no effort to ensure that employees, past or present,
involved in this distressing episode are brought to justice.
"We are co-operating fully with the cyber police and doing
everything possible in cooperation with all concerned to ensure
that the perpetrators of the crime are apprehended and brought to
justice," an MphasiS spokesperson said.
MphasiS is a company that highly values data protection and data
security of its clients. It has proactively instituted elaborate
systems which are constantly reviewed, to ensure and protect client
confidentiality. "We are therefore most distressed that the
current incident should have happened," the spokesperson added.
"MphasiS has taken this incident with all the seriousness
it deserves from Day One. We have instituted our own internal inquiry
and taken necessary short-term and long-term measures in consultation
with NASSCOM and the bank concerned, to protect our clients and
their customers, and safeguard the security and integrity of the
BPO business in India. We will await the full outcome of the police
investigation as well as the parallel inquiries in progress,"
the spokesperson said.

Account aggregator OnTrees has updated its iPhone app, with a new and improved process for updating your accounts, and a greater number of accounts to choose from.
Whilst I thought the original release of the app was pretty good, whenever I tried to update my accounts, it always seemed to take forever and eventually stop working, and I'd have to quit the app and re-open it to see my updated balances and transactions.
This update has changed the way you trigger an update (hold your finger on the account you want to update on the account summary screen), and you can still navigate the app whilst accounts are in the process of updating, and despite a delay with some accounts, updates do now work.
The app has also undergone a few minor changes to its look and feel. One thing I'd like to see in the next version is the ability to categorise transactions from within the app, rather than just on the website.
OnTrees for the iPhone can be downloaded for free from the app store. An Android version is promised "soon".
On a related note, OnTrees may find it difficult to overcome consumer indifference to personal finance management (PFM), according to Datamonitor. Their research found that 73% of people state that they do not need help with their finances from tools like OnTrees.

Bloomberg.com reports tonight:
Bush Administration Seeks Settlement in KPMG Case, People Say
The Bush administration has instructed federal prosecutors to seek a settlement with KPMG LLP over its sale of tax shelters to avoid criminal charges that could drive the accounting firm out of business, people familiar with the case said.
The Justice Department in Washington directed David Kelley, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, to negotiate a deal, said the people, who requested anonymity. One issue is the size of the fine the Big Four firm must pay, with prosecutors demanding as much as $500 million, the people said.

"The Mission of the Office of Open Records is to enforce the state's Right-to-Know law and to serve as a resource for citizens, public officials and members of the media in obtaining public records of their government."
Ensuring open and honest government is a bedrock principle of democracy. It can only be attained through the unfettered exchange of information between citizens and their government. A citizen's right-to-know, sometimes known as freedom of information, fosters accountability, prevents abuses of power and promotes trust in government. Pennsylvania has codified this important right to access government records in Act 3 of 2008, called the Right-to-Know law.
Governor Edward G. Rendell signed the new Right-To-Know law on February 14, 2008 fundamentally changing the way people access public records of their government. The hallmark of this new law, which fully takes effect January 1, 2009, is its presumption of openness. For the first time in Pennsylvania history, citizens no longer have to prove that a record is public and that it should be released. Now, a government agency must presume that a record is a public record available for inspection or copying. If the government agency chooses to withhold a record, the agency has the burden to prove � with legal citation � why that record should not be available to the public.
The law, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, also established an Office of Open Records. The mission of the Office of Open Records is to enforce the new Right-to-Know law and to serve as a resource to citizens, public officials and members of the media.

NAM's No-Fault Automobile Arbitration Program in New York is a better and faster alternative to resolve disputed medical claims between medical providers, claimants and auto insurance carriers. By keeping these cases out of court, NAM is helping to reduce legal and administrative expenses for insurance companies while providing an expeditious claim resolution process for the applicants.
The following is designed to assist the public, insurance companies, medical professionals and the legal community in understanding how a No-Fault Automobile claim is handled under the NAM program.
* Lower program fees
* Streamlined administrative timeframes: The timeframes relating to administrative steps have been structured to allow for a more expeditious process. From case filing to receipt of the award, the time frame approximates less than two months (assuming the Respondent responds on a timely basis). Specifically, once we have obtained mutual agreement from the parties, we can immediately schedule a hearing date and time. Hearings are scheduled a minimum of thirty (30) days out in order that the parties have sufficient notice so that they can ensure their availability. Awards will be rendered within a reasonable time of the closing of the record.
* No mandatory conciliation or pre-hearing calls
* Continue to utilize binding Arbitration as a definitive resolution for No-Fault Automobile claims
* Awards will conform to the NYS Insurance Laws and Regulations (that is, interest will be awarded if applicable)
* State-of-the-Art technology using the NAM patented myADR online system for dispute resolution case management
NAM is the "gold-standard" dispute resolution provider within New York State and was the original architect for the third-party ADR programs utilized throughout the State by both defendants and plaintiff firms.
With respect to case administration, excluding employees recently hired, more than 50% of NAM's staff has been employed with the company for more than 10 years. NAM's Case Managers have significant experience in administering arbitration initiatives and are invaluable to this program as they ensure that all procedures run smoothly.
In 1973, the State of New York enacted the Comprehensive Motor Vehicle Reparation Insurance Act (also known as the New York No-Fault Law) requiring that parties with Personal Injury Protection (PIP) disputes be afforded the opportunity to utilize binding Arbitration rather than having to go to court. However, as of the current time, many parties involved in these disputes continue to file their claims in civil courts and are waiting several years for their cases to be resolved. Additionally, another available arbitration program is viewed by many as expensive, with the cost of the arbitration often times exceeding the recovery sought. Under the NAM program, the parties have the opportunity to resolve their claims earlier, faster and more efficiently.
NAM Arbitrators are dispute resolution professionals. To qualify, a panel member must either be an attorney licensed to practice in the State of New York with at least 8 years experience with personal injury matters or a former judge with similar expertise.
View NAM's Panel of No-Fault Arbitrators
NAM offers access to myADR, our patented, real-time dispute resolution case management system. myADR is a comprehensive management oversight tool with many capabilities. This online portal provides secure ADR-related data such as case calendars, tracking and status reports, as well as decisions and awards. The system is designed so that any data field captured is retrievable, which can be invaluable in trend analysis, as well as in reviewing important individual case-specific information.
On the NAM website, you are able to:
* Obtain a Request for a No-Fault Automobile Arbitration
* View Uploaded Documents
* View Upcoming Schedules for Arbitrations
* Search the Case Database Via a Number of Different Criteria
* Retrieve Arbitration Awards
No-Fault Arbitration hearings may be conducted at the following NAM offices:
MANHATTAN: 122 East 42nd Street, Suite 803
New York, NY 10168
GARDEN CITY: 990 Stewart Avenue, First Floor
Garden City, NY 11530
A case is initiated by an Applicant/Plaintiff filing a No-Fault Automobile Arbitration Request and Response Form with NAM, with a copy sent to the Respondent/Defendant. The Request and Response Form can be downloaded from the NAM website at http://www.namadr.com/nofaultny.cfm. Applicants/Plaintiffs are able to submit these Request and Response Forms via email to firstname.lastname@example.com, via fax to (516)-704-2551, or via mail to NAM, 990 Stewart Ave. First Floor, Garden City, NY 11530, Attention: No-Fault Department.
Once NAM receives a completed Request and Response Form from the Applicant/Plaintiff, the NAM No-Fault Case Manager will enter the case information into the NAM system and upload the supporting documents, so that the parties may view the documents online. The NAM No-Fault Case Manager will contact the Respondent/Defendant to obtain agreement to Arbitrate. Once the parties have verbally agreed to arbitrate, the NAM No-Fault Case Manager will send a No-Fault Automobile Dispute Resolution Agreement to the parties for their signatures. NAM will also follow up with the Respondent/Defendant to obtain their completed portion of the No-Fault Automobile Arbitration Request and Response Form along with their supporting documentation, with a copy sent by Respondent/Defendant to the Applicant/Plaintiff.
Upon receipt of the signed agreements, NAM will appoint an experienced No-Fault Arbitrator to the case and an Arbitration Hearing will be scheduled. Once the case is scheduled, invoices will be sent to the Parties for their respective administrative fees. At the same time, written confirmation of the scheduled hearing will be sent. This notice will include the NAM case number, the name of the Arbitrator, location and time of the hearing, the contact information for the NAM No-Fault Case Manager, and a reminder request for all outstanding submissions to be received no later than ten (10) days prior to the hearing. The written confirmation will be sent out at least thirty (30) days in advance of the Hearing Date in order that the parties may have sufficient time to arrange their schedules accordingly and to complete the submission process.
Prior to the Hearing Date, the NAM No-Fault Case Manager will confirm the attendance of all the parties and ensure that the proper documents have been exchanged and are available for review online via NAM's myADR portal.
On the Hearing Date, the Parties will attend an in-person hearing before the appointed Arbitrator, at which time the parties may present testimony and evidence. Within a reasonable time after the close of the hearing, the Arbitrator will issue a written decision that will be available to the Parties online via NAM's myADR portal.
The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding. However, NAM does offer the services of a Master Arbitrator in the event one of the parties seeks an appeal. Such appeal is limited to the grounds specified by the applicable section of the New York State Insurance Law.
The following documents are utilized in NAM's No-Fault Automobile Arbitration program:

K-State Announces 2011-12 Non-Conference Schedule
K-State Announces 2011-12 Non-Conference Schedule
June 14, 2011
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State women's basketball head coach Deb Patterson announced on Wednesday the non-conference schedule for the 2011-12 season. The Wildcats' non-conference slate includes six opponents who reached a postseason tournament during the 2010-11 season.
"Our non-conference schedule will provide our team with exceptional opportunities to face unique styles of play and great, NCAA Tournament-type teams from across the country early in our season," stated Patterson about the schedule for her 16th season in Manhattan. "We are excited about the opportunity to play in the Cancun Challenge for the second time in five years and to visit Las Vegas for the second time in three seasons. We are also looking forward to the opportunity to face Wichita State for the first time in a number of seasons and to welcome Iowa into Bramlage Coliseum for the Big Ten/Big 12 Challenge. Overall, I think this schedule will prepare us for the upcoming challenge of the new 18-game Big 12 format."
K-State will open the 2011-12 season with a three-game home stand beginning on Saturday, Nov. 12, against Dartmouth. The season-opener will be the first of two contests this season that will be part of a "Wildcat Weekend," as the K-State football team will host Texas A&M at Bill Snyder Family Stadium on the same day.
The Wildcats won the first-ever meeting with the Big Green last season, 69-48, during Dartmouth's 34th annual Blue Sky Classic in Hanover, N.H. K-State is 6-1 all-time against schools from the Ivy League.
Kansas State will continue its home stand with a midweek matchup with BYU on Wednesday, Nov. 16. The Wildcats lead the series with BYU, 2-0, including a 65-62 in the last meeting on Nov. 27, 2009, in Provo, Utah. The Cougars will be making their first women's basketball appearance in Manhattan.
The Cougars tallied the fifth 20-win season under head coach Jeff Judkins with a 25-9 mark, which included a 15-1 record and the third regular season title in its final season in the Mountain West Conference. BYU was upended in the MWC semifinals by in-state rival Utah, but continued into the postseason in the WNIT and reached the third round before falling to USC. BYU will begin its first season as a member of the West Coast Conference during the 2011-12 season, as the Wildcats are 7-1 all-time against schools from the WCC.
K-State will play the first of two games against schools from the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC), as the Wildcats will close out its three-game home stand against Missouri State on Friday, Nov. 18. The Wildcats lead the series with the Lady Bears, 12-3, and won the last meeting between the schools on Dec. 5, 2009, during the championship game of the Commerce Bank Wildcat Classic, 64-60.
Missouri State recorded a 24-11 record last season, including a 12-6 mark in the MVC. The Lady Bears advanced to the title game of the MVC Championships and was selected for the second straight season to the Postseason WNIT, where they advanced to the second round. The Lady Bears are led by three-time All-MVC first team recipient Casey Garrison. The senior guard from Bolivar, Mo., averaged 18.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists during the 2010-11 season.
The Wildcats will make their first road trip of the season to Cancun, Mexico, as K-State will take part in the 2011 Cancun Challenge on Nov. 24-25, at the Moon Palace Resort. This will be K-State's second appearance in Cancun, as K-State competed in the 2007 Cancun Challenge against Tulane and Michigan State. The Wildcats will face Hofstra and Purdue during the 2011 Cancun Challenge, with dates and times of competition to be determined.
K-State will take on Hofstra, a member of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA), for the first time. The Wildcats are 10-3 against schools from the CAA and last faced a member of the league during the 2009 Duel in the Desert, as K-State defeated VCU, 73-67, in Las Vegas. The Pride recorded a 19-12 overall record during the 2010-11 season and a 10-8 mark in the CAA.
The Wildcats will also take on its 2011 NCAA Tournament opponent, Purdue, during the Cancun Challenge. The Boilermakers lead the series with K-State 3-0 and won the NCAA Tournament first round matchup in Storrs, Conn., 53-45. Purdue finished the 2010-11 season with a 21-12 record and returns its entire roster for the 2011-12 season.
Fans interested in traveling to the Cancun Challenge may visit www.cancunchallenge.net for information regarding all-inclusive packages to watch the Wildcats in this tropical setting. Additional teams competing in the 2011 Cancun Challenge are: Chattanooga, Cincinnati, Drake, Idaho State, Marist and South Dakota State.
K-State will return to Manhattan to face Iowa for the second straight season in the 2011 Big 12/Big Ten Challenge on Saturday, Dec. 3. This will be the second "Wildcat Weekend" of the non-conference season, as the K-State football team will host Iowa State in the regular season finale at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Kansas State leads the series with Iowa, 3-1, but the Hawkeyes secured last season's meeting with a 68-62 decision in Iowa City on Dec. 5. This will be Iowa's first visit to the Little Apple since Jan. 5, 2003, when K-State tallied a 103-60 win over the Hawkeyes.
The Hawkeyes made their fourth straight NCAA Tournament appearance and the eighth in the last 11 seasons during the 2011 campaign in which Iowa notched a 22-9 overall record and a 10-6 mark in Big Ten play. Iowa is led by junior guard and 2011 Associated Press honorable mention All-American Jaime Printy. The Cedar Rapids, Iowa, native led the Hawkeyes during the 2011 season with a 16.8 scoring average.
For just the second time in the 21st century, Kansas State will square off against Wichita State with a Wednesday, Dec. 7, tipoff. The Wildcats lead the series with the Shockers, 39-6, with the last meeting between the institutions on Dec. 15, 2000 in Wichita, a 65-64 K-State win. The last time K-State and Wichita State met in Manhattan came on Dec. 18, 1999, a 76-66 Shocker win.
The Shockers reached the Postseason WNIT for the second straight season and the fourth time in the program's history during the 2011 campaign. Wichita State finished the season with a 17-15 overall record and a 10-8 mark in the MVC.
K-State will make its first trip to Brookings, S.D., since the 1974 AIAW Region VI Tournament, as the Wildcats will take on South Dakota State on Saturday, Dec. 10. Kansas State leads the series with the Jackrabbits, 4-0, and won last year's meeting 56-51 on Nov. 30, 2010.
South Dakota State recorded a 19-14 overall record and 12-6 mark in Summit League action during the 2010-11 season. The Jackrabbits have played in three straight NCAA Tournaments after securing The Summit League's automatic bid by winning the league's postseason tournament in each of the last three seasons. Including its 2011 NCAA Tournament appearance, the Jackrabbits have played in five straight postseason tournaments (2007 and 2008 WNITs).
For the second time in three seasons, K-State will take part in the Duel in the Desert at the Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas, Nev., on Dec. 18-20. The Wildcats faced UNLV, VCU and UTSA during the 2009 edition of the event and finished with a 2-1 record. The field of the 2011 Duel in the Desert is yet to be determined.
Patterson returns eight letterwinners and three starters from the 12th NCAA Tournament squad in school history, including All-Big 12 selections Brittany Chambers and Jalana Childs. The Wildcats registered an overall record of 21-11 and a 10-6 mark in Big 12 action, which resulted in a tie for third finish in the league.
The 2011-12 Big 12 schedule, complete game times as well as the television schedule will be released at a later date. The league will move to a new 18-game, round-robin format that is expected to start in early January.
Season ticket packages for the Wildcats' 2011-12 season will go on sale Monday, June 20 through the K-State Athletic Ticket Office. Fans can begin purchasing tickets online at www.k-statesports.com, or can call the ticket office at 800.221.CATS.
Season ticket prices begin at just $50 each when fans purchase a Wildcat 4-Pack of four or more general admission tickets. General admission tickets can otherwise be purchased for $78 per seat. Other seating options include Reserved Bench and Cat Cushion tickets at $99 per seat, as well as Chairback seats for $132 each (plus a $50 donation per season ticket account to the Ahearn Fund).

They're the product that launched a thousand cartoons of Joe Hockey before his career as treasurer went up in smoke and came to symbolise how out of touch the Abbott government was with mainstream Australia.
But Cuban cigars remain a favourite indulgence among government ministers.
Updates to Parliament's register of interests over the summer break show Trade Minister Andrew Robb and Communications and Arts Minister Mitch Fifield both accepted $400 boxes of Cuban cigars as gifts.
Cuban ambassador Jose Manuel Galego Montano presented each minister with a box of five Cohiba Lanceros, said to be the favourite smoke of Cuba's ailing ex-president Fidel Castro.
The $80 cigars come in a hand-made cedar box and, according to Cohiba, "deliver a rich and round smoke [with] dark honey and cedar notes seasoned with a gentle spiciness in the first and second third [of the cigar]".
Each minister received a traditional Cuban accompaniment with their stogies - a $37 bottle of Havana Club dark rum.
The gifts were among a raft of little luxuries accepted by MPs and updated on the register during the quiet December-January period.
Treasurer Scott Morrison and Labor's immigration spokesman Richard Marles received two tickets each to Taylor Swift concerts in Sydney and Melbourne, respectively.
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop updated her register with the unusual gift of four live pigs from the Papua New Guinean government during her November visit. The pigs were re-gifted to local hospitals which have been able to sell the animals to raise funds for medical equipment, according to local media reports.

November 6, 2015
Former speaker Bronwyn Bishop accepted two tickets to the musical The Sound of Music and four nights of accommodation and transfers in Jerusalem as part of an Israel study tour in December. She paid her own air fares.
Labor backbencher Laurie Ferguson received first class tickets, accommodation and internal air fares on a visit to Azerbaijan, courtesy of the government of the former Soviet republic wedged between Iran and Armenia.
Mr Ferguson denied his trip was an endorsement of the autocratic regime in Azerbaijan, telling The Australian newspaper last week: "I didn't see it like a police state where our rooms were bugged, we were chauffeured in cars and they stopped us asking questions."
A number of politicians received $150-plus bottles of Penfolds wine from Qantas. They included Environment Minister Greg Hunt, Mr Robb, Labor's deputy leader Tanya Plibersek and shadow health spokeswoman Catherine King.
Those who accepted business or first class upgrades included Resources Minister Josh Frydenberg, Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, Liberal MP Teresa Gambaro, and Labor's Mark Butler, Terri Butler and Jenny McAllister.
It was a sporting summer for some, with tickets to tennis, cricket or racing received by Speaker Tony Smith, Assistant Treasurer Kelly O'Dwyer, former small business minister Bruce Billson, Education Minister Simon Birmingham, Senator Fifield, Liberal Senator David Bushby and backbencher Ian Goodenough.
Labor's Jim Chalmers, Chris Hayes, Stephen Jones and Brendan O'Connor also enjoyed some corporate hospitality at the cricket or tennis.
Tasmanian Liberal Andrew Nikolic had a less rewarding Christmas-New Year.
According to the register, Mr Nikolic bought shares in Australian oil and gas producer Santos in December. The company was at the centre of a political storm last year after the Australian National University divested its holdings in Santos and other energy stocks as part of a less carbon intensive investment strategy.
At the time, Tony Abbott called ANU "stupid" for selling the shares.
Mr Nikolic bought Santos shares on December 10 when, ASX data shows, they were trading at $3.52. The stock plummeted to $2.48 during a rout on oil stocks in January but has since recovered partially to be trading at $3.08 on Friday.

Memory and consciousness
Document Type:ASSC Conference Item
Keywords:memory, higher-order theory, temporal representation
Deposited by:Paula Droege
Date of Issue:2006
Event Dates:22-25 June 2007
Event Location:Las Vegas, Nevada USA
Event Title:11th annual meeting of the ASSC
Event Type:ASSC Conference
Presentation Type:Poster
Number of Pages:1
Abstract:In considering the relation between memory and consciousness, we can begin with three questions: 1. What is common among memories? 2. How does representation figure in memory? 3. Is memory representationally higher-order, and if so, is this evidence in favor of a higher-order theory of consciousness? Drawing on psychological literature about memory, we can identify four types of memory: skill-based, semantic, declarative and episodic. Only the last form, episodic memory, is interestingly related to consciousness, and only this form is representationally higher-order. This connection seems to favor a higher-order theory of consciousness. However, episodic memory involves a representation of past mental states within a conscious mental state; that is, the higher-order structure is internal to the conscious state. Since the higher-order thoughts that explain conscious states are external to them, the coincidence between episodic memory and higher-order representation does not constitute a reason to adopt higher-order theories of consciousness. A temporal representation theory of consciousness provides a better account. Thinking about how we utilize past information in the present illuminates the role of temporal information in conscious representation and the ways in which temporal information may be irrelevant and so unrepresented, and so unconscious.

Prime Infrastructure Group has posted a full-year loss of nearly $1 billion and says it has agreed to merge with US owned Brookfield Infrastructure Partners.
Prime reported a net loss of $948.59 million for the 12 months to June 30, following a loss of $977.13 million in the previous financial year.
Revenue decreased 6.7 per cent to $499.23 million in 2009/10.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) from continuing operations was $137.7 million, compared to $165.4 million in the prior year.
Prime said it would merge with Brookfield Infrastructure Partners to create a global infrastructure company with market capitalisation of $2.82 billion.
Prime security holders would receive 0.24 Brookfield units per Prime security, representing $4.60 per security, a 30 per cent premium on the August 20 closing price.
Prime said its net loss in 2010 was largely due to writedowns and losses in relation to the recapitalisation of Prime Infrastructure.
It also included an impairment of $662.6 million against Australian Energy and Transmission Distribution, which was now held for sale at nominal proceeds.
Prime said the decrease in revenue was largely due to the strengthening Australian dollar which negatively impacted the translated revenue recognised from UK-based business IEG Connections.
"The first six months of the 2010 Financial Year was a period of significant challenge to Prime Infrastructure," the company said in a statement on Monday.
The company had $8.9 billion debt at June 30, 2009 and gearing of 98 per cent.
"This led to the major recapitalisation of Prime Infrastructure that was completed on 20 November 2009.
"The recapitalisation resulted in offering investors a simpler capital structure, with internalised management and the support of a strong cornerstone investor."
Prime says it will pay a distribution of $0.075 per stapled security, fully franked, for the quarter ending September 30, 2010.

Nyhus re-enlisted last Wednesday, and in so doing joined the growing ranks of those choosing to stay in the U.S. military because of the bleak economy.
''In the Army, you're always guaranteed a steady paycheck and a job,'' said the 21-year-old Nyhus. ''Deploying's something that's going to happen. That's a fact of life in the Army — a fact of life in the infantry.''
In 2008, as the stock market cratered and the housing market collapsed, more young members of the Army, Air Force and Navy decided to re-up. While several factors might explain the rise in re-enlistments, including a decline in violence in Iraq, Pentagon officials acknowledge that bad news for the economy is usually good news for the military.
In fact, the Pentagon just completed its strongest recruiting year in four years.
''We do benefit when things look less positive in civil society,'' said David Chu, undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness. ''What difficult economic times give us, I think, is an opening to make our case to people who we might not otherwise have.''
The retention rate of early-career soldiers in the Army has risen steadily over the past four years and now stands 20 percentage points higher than it was in fiscal 2004. As for the Navy and the Air Force, early- and mid-career sailors and airmen re-enlisted at a higher rate in October than during the same period in 2007. The Marine Corps was not immediately able to provide comparative figures on re-enlistments.
Alex Stewart joined the Army two years ago, when the factory where he worked as a welder started laying off. He was sent to Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne Division, which suffered 87 deaths last year, the highest total suffered by the 20,000-member unit since the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan began.
When his hitch was up in earlier this year, the 32-year-old from Grand Rapids, Mich., didn't hesitate to re-up for five more years.
''I want a stable life for my wife in a very shaky economy,'' Stewart said. ''There were no other options.''
Stewart's new assignment will take him to Germany, where he will serve as a truck driver, though it is always possible he could be sent back into combat.
''I figure if I do another five or 10 years in the Army,'' he said, ''the economy will turn around and I can get a truck-driving job.''
Army Spc. Alicia Fauls, 20, of the Woodlands, Texas, had two years to go when she re-enlisted last week at Fort Riley, home of the Army's 1st Infantry Division, which has one brigade in Iraq, one headed home and another preparing to ship out. She has not been sent into the war zone yet but knows an assignment in Iraq or Afghanistan is probably in her future.
''I did have only two years left, but I'm not sure what I would do,'' Fauls said. ''It's harder to find jobs. If I do wait to get out, the economy should be in better shape.''
When Nyhus' tour in Iraq ended last April, he talked to his wife about getting out of the Army and working toward a college degree. But the father of a 2-year-old daughter opted for the job security, even though he is likely to be sent back to Iraq as a member of the 4th Infantry Division, which has shouldered a heavy burden of the fighting.
Marine Staff Sgt. Angela Mink, who was injured in a helicopter accident in Iraq in 2004 and now works in public affairs at the Corps' New River air station in North Carolina, said the thought of taking a civilian job ''without my fellow Marines just didn't appeal to me.'' Moreover, she had little hope of finding a private-sector job that pays as well as the Marines.
''Equivalent pay is nonexistent, once you factor in insurance premiums, housing costs,'' said Mink, 37. ''And we would definitely have had to relocate. I have a child with a disability and what civilian employer is going to take that into consideration when they think of moving you somewhere?''
And so the married mother of five signed up recently for four more years.
Roughly 208,000 men and women left the military in 2007. Some were rank-and-file warriors, while others worked in specialized fields such as satellite communications or computer networking. Only about 30 percent of enlisted soldiers hold a bachelor's degree.
The job market is still fairly good for veterans with technical skills, especially those coveted by defense contractors, said Carl Savino, a retired Army major who runs a company outside Washington that offers employment services to new veterans.
Sgt. Michael Rodriguez, 29, of San Antonio, decided to get out after he landed a job with a defense contractor working on communications systems. ''I feel pretty secure with them,'' said Rodriguez, who will leave the military soon.
But even defense-contractor jobs could dry up as the economic crisis deepens, Savino said.
''Jobs are getting harder to come by for veterans,'' Savino said. ''The farther they deviate from the defense contractors, who are still in reasonably strong shape, the more challenging it is.''
John Milburn reported from Fort Riley, Kan., Stephen Manning from Washington. Associated Press writers Kevin Maurer in Fort Bragg, N.C., and Estes Thompson in Raleigh, N.C., also contributed to this report.

We've begun confirming speakers and sessions for WordCamp SLC 2011.
Our first batch of speakers we've confirmed are :
- Garth Koyle ( Can you go commercial? )
- Chris Reynolds ( WordPress Theme Development 101: Theme-ing for Everyone )
- Joseph Scott ( Site Performance, From Pinto to Ferrari )
As more of our speakers are confirmed we'll be adding them to the speakers page along with details on the sessions page.
If you've got something you are passionate about that involves WordPress, put together a presentation proposal, if we get some really great ones we still have time to tweak the schedule and make room. I haven't seen many proposals about plugin development, would be great to see more in that area.

Using W2K as a client to a 1.21 m0n0, it works fine most of the time.
The rest of the time I get timeouts. However, if I kill off an IPSEC
connection from another remote site that's connected to the m0n0, the
PPTP server mysteriously springs into life. This I can live with until I
get around to troubleshooting it, but some people probably can't.
Going back a few versions, I always used the same subnet as the LAN for
the PPTP clients, but found this caused more trouble than it was worth -
try using a different subnet. The server will need to have its IP on
this subnet too, so enable PPTP server and use something like
192.168.169.1 and 192.168.169.16/28. I also have Require 128-bit set.
I have a 1.2b3 out there that works flawlessly, btw.

NJGenWeb ~ Morris County, New Jersey
Mourits Mouritszen: Interstate Man of Mystery
The origin of Mourits has been shrouded in mystery. Many (including myself), believed him to be the son of Jacob Maurits and Margrietje Vander Grift, baptized 9 Jan. 1678 in New York, and the only Maurits known. However, Michael Duffy noticed that Frederick Mourits names a son Mourits among his 'kinders' in his will. Michael's further research shows a number of connections between Ulster and Somerset families.
In one of his histories of Somerset County, Abraham Messler mentions Maurice Maurison among other 'heads of families' arriving by 1699 from Long Island. Too bad he doesn't name his source. ("First things in old Somerset: a collection of articles relating to Somerset County, N.J.: including sketches of Washington Rock, Chimney Rock and a list of the freeholders in Somerset County in 1790" 1899 Abraham Messler p.18)
He seems to have been a spoke in the wheel of an inter-related group of families with the Van Nest's as their hub. This includes Dirk Middagh, Hendrick Corssen Vroom (deed dated 10 June 1688), Jacob Sebring, and Isaac Bodine. Pieter Van Nest bought 500 acres from Thomas Gordon, one of 12 plots beginning at Holland's brook on the north side of the south branch of the Raritan River. Most of the deeds are dated 1688-1690. (Messler p.15) Cornelis Corssen (Hendrick's brother) had an earlier grant in the area, Ľ share of 1,904 acres dated 3 Feb. 1683. He sold his share to Hendrick and Pieter Van Nest 6 June 1687. ("Three hundred years with the Corson families in America : including the Staten Island-Pennsylvania Corsons, the Sussex County, New Jersey Corsons, the Cape May or South Jersey Corsons, the Corsons of Dumfriesshire, Scotland, the Corsons of Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, the New England Corson families, the Canadian Corson family" Orville Corson p.72)
The Van Nest brothers may have lived in Somerset as early as 1681. They were sons of Pieter Van Nest and Judith Joris Rapalje, who lived in Breuckelen (aka Brooklyn, hence Messler's Long Island connection. Pieter seems to have died about 1698; Judith moved with her sons to Somerset). Isaac Bodine (whose brother Abraham also lived in Somerset) of Staten Island was related to Pieter Jr.'s wife, Margaret Croisson (Cresson), while Dirck Middagh (whose grandmother was Sarah Rapalje) and Hendrick Vroom married Van Nest sisters. Was there a bride for Mourits? Witnesses at his son Frederick's baptism in 1701 are listed as Piter Van Neste and Enyeltie, his sister, who married Isaac Bodine. Did Pieter represent the mother's side of the family? (see timeline below)
After the birth of his son, Mourits disappears from Somerset, an event even noted by Messler (p.16). Perhaps opportunity beckoned elsewhere.
Morris County was probably first settled near Pompton Plains. Arent Schuyler and associates purchased some 5,500 acres 6 June 1695 that lay between the Passaic, the Pompton and the foothills to the east and west ("History of Morris County New Jersey With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Prominent Citizens and Pioneers" 1882 WW Munsell & Co. p.17) (referred to as Munsell). "Schuyler and Brockholst were probably at the time residents of New Barbadoes, which was on the east side of the Passaic River, just above the present town of Belleville. It is believed that they were among the pioneers in the settlement in this region, and that they settled near each other, but on the east side of the Pequannock River, near where the late Dr. William Colfax lived, and that they settled there possibly about 1698 or 1700. It appears from the records that by a writing of bargain and sale, dated March 20th 1696, they had agreed, in anticipation of their contemplated purchase, to dispose of one-third of the tract on the west side of Pequannock River to Nicholas Bayard; and also that by a writing dated March 5th 1702 they agreed to sell a part of this tract (the lower end, next the Passaic River) to Maurice Mourison. The bounds are stated as follows: "On the south by the Passaic River, east by the Pequannock, north to the hill or mountain lying over or against the lowermost part of the lowlands of Pequannock, and to the west upon the meadows along the Passaic." (ibid p. 266) The mountain range behind Passaic Valley, bordering on the Passaic River, was known in early times as Mourison Mountain, due to Mourits owning a large tract here. His descendents still lived there at the time of the writing of Munsell's book. (Munsell p.268). Thayer says he bought this tract mainly for speculation. (p.26). He was living there in 1715, if my geography is correct, for that year John Reading led a party seeking to survey William Penn's lot near the forks of the Rockaway and Whippany Rivers#. High water and difficult terrain forced them to cancel these plans and lodge at the house of "Mawris Mawrison" the night of April 23 (Munsell p. 332). Penn's tract covered Pine Brook, southern Montville, and extended into Hanover Twp. (Thayer p.266) I have two period maps that refer to today's Pompton River as the Pequannock, which was the eastern boundry.+ Would the Mourison Mountain range be Towakhow Mountain? (Hartman Vreeland also owned a tract of land on this mountain according to Munsell p. 268-he appears below. Researcher Myra Vreeland Lane says this branch of the Vreeland family resided in the Towaco section of present day Montville since about 1745. The Doremus family also settled here, and the area was known as Doremustown). Munsell further adds this lower part of the Passaic Valley was known as Beavertown. An 1887 Montville map shows Beavertown District in the north central part starting next to Jacksonville District and the Bog Vly Meadow then covering part of "Towakhow or Hook Mountain" and Great Piece Swamp over to the Passaic River.* The area between Hook Mtn. and the Passaic was purchased by George Willocks in 1699, and included 2,000 acres (ibid p. 266).
He was inside present day Morris County at least by 1722.
Originally part of Hunterdon, Morris County was set off 15 March, 1739, and included present day Sussex and Warren Counties for good measure. A frontier area, Morris had about 1,800 residents when created, with some 1,100 within it's current boundaries. As late as 1737, bounties were paid on 100 wolves and 16 panthers. ("Col. & Rev. Morris Co." Thayer 34 & 31) The "road from Whippaning to Elizabethtown", which followed the old Minisink Trail (the main Indian path between the Delaware and the NJ coast) with a branch to Newark where Chatham is now, was the only link to the outside world for the pioneers (Col.&Rev. Morris Co. p.6 &16). Whippany was officially renamed Hanover 7 Dec. 1720, but the boundaries were fluid, and various areas were called by various names (with various spellings-Whippanong, Uylekill, Poquanick, etc). In fact, Hanover Township once was all of Morris, Sussex, and Warren Counties. ("Along the Whippanong" p. 48)
Traces of Mourits are few and far between. He was appointed constable for Hanover 5 Sept. 1722 and elected Freeholder at the first recorded town meeting in Hanover March 14, 1727 (AtW p.50). Constable was a thankless job; in fact, in 1768 a Ł5 fine was levied against anyone who refused the office! About 1720, Hunterdon County Court ruled constables must have "Constable Staffs", with the King's arms painted on a plaque at the top. Among their tasks were gathering the names of residents and assessing them for taxation. (Thayer p.40 &23) 2 Freeholders were elected from each township and served on the Board of Justices and Chosen Freeholders, along with appointed Justices of the Peace. They met in Trenton, then the county seat, in May, although special meetings could be called. Notifying the board was a chore; in 1739 a man on horseback took 2 days. Freeholders served without pay until 1792. ("The First 250 years of Hunterdon County, 1714-1964 United States" Board of Chosen Freeholders of Hunterdon County p.15-7) This book adds that typical farm prices were Ł5-10 per hundred acres when the grants were broken up in the early 1700's, and that bounties were paid on 91 wolves (60s) and 16 panthers (15s) between 1734-9 (p.8 & 23).
The last mention I have found for Mourits is in 1733, a debt noted in the will of Stephen Leonard of New Hanover. He is not mentioned in the church records of those that appear to be his family, in either Morris or Somerset counties.
The Montville Historical Society writes me that they believe they have found Mourit's Montville house.
The Dutch used local stone in building their houses; they tended to be small, long and narrow. Topped off with a steep gabled roof, it would not have a prominent eave. ("Pre-Revolutionary Dutch houses and families in northern New Jersey and southern New York" Rosalie Fellows Bailey p. 498)
#Walt Olson supplied this copy of the relevant portion from Reading's journal. (Information below from New Jersey Historical Society, 3rd Ser. Vol. 10, Jan.-Oct. 1915):
Copy of Journal of …….Reading, while surveying Lands in the northern part of New Jersey, April 17th to June 10th, 1715.
On the 17th of April, 1715, John Budd, James Bollen, Jno. Chapman, Jona. Lad and I set out from fathers about 3 in the afternoon for Sol. Davis' upon the S. Branch of Rarington River where we arrived just at 9 of the clock, the 18th. We waited at Sol's the day next for the arrival of Richd Bull and other Props. who came about 9 o'clock in the morn. Ed. Kemp and Benj. Kay along with him. We departed from Sol's about 11 of the clock all of us except Kemp for Jacob Peat's upon Pesiack River. We went upon the N. branch of Rarington as high as And. Denike's and struck from thence for said river, and fell upon the branches of the Dead River a little above the forks of the same. We continued our course about N. East till we came to a great swamp and went down the same to P. River, thence along the same to the said Jacob Peat's, where we arrived about 8 o'clock. This day we had a very great thunder gust attended with a great deal of rain.
19th. We departed from said Peat's and went down Pesiack River along the side thereof the same running very dead till we came to the road that leads from Whippaning to Elizabeth Town. We went up the same by John Cramer s where Jno. Bud, Jona. Ladd, Kay and Jno. Chap. Came from looking of land, who departed from us in the morning about 2 miles below Peat's and the said Budd&c. went out again but we kept the road to Jer. Osbourn s where we all lodged that night.
20th. It rained all day so that we could not do a business but stayed at said Osbourn's all that day.
21st. Jno. Budd, Bullin, Chapman a guide and I went to look out for land we crossed Whippaning and went by a great meadow lying upon said river and crossing Perseapany we went to Rackoway River where we met Jos. Kirkbride, George Ryerson & we all sought the forks of Rack. and Wyr. and so went back through the woods to Osbourn's where we slept that night.
22nd. I went to survey Jos. Kirkbride's lot lying above the Bogg meadow and finished the same and went to Mauris Maurison's to lodge this day. In the morning came N. Allen and Ed. Kamp to Osbourn's.
23rd. I went to survey Wm. Pen's lot but the waters being out and other ways being very difficult we could not perfect the same but returned back to Maurise where we lodged that night.
24th. Jona. Lad, Jno. Chapman and I in the morn, went over to George Ryason's upon Poquannock River from thence we went down to the fall of Pessiack River wliere we beheld the great and wonderful cataracts and clefts of the same, the water falling by computation about 50 or 60 foot into a cavity of a rock, from thence making its way very fiercely into a still pond from whence it descends very rapidly in a great stream for about 1/2 of a mile. We returned back to Ryason's and from thence to Maurison's we went over Pessiack to Symon Van Ese's but returned that night to said Maurison's where we slept. This day we met with Corse Vroome and some Indians at Pessiack falls who were designed for father's in order to receive their pay for part of the last Indian purchase.
25th. We went and finished Gover. Pen's survey and went to Osbourn's that night where we lodged. This day at night we met with some New England men who came to treat about purchasing of lands; we likewise received information how that the sheriff of Essex County and several other gentlemen came on the 23d instant with design to stop our proceedings but it not answering their expectations they returned back the next morning.
26th. I surveyed a lot for Gover. Pen near the great swamp and returned to Osbourn's that night where I met father and Sam'l Green who came from the upper parts of Delaware. This night likewise came the Indians in their way to our house father having also obtained leave of the propr.
From "The Morris Canal: Across New Jersey by Water and Rail" by Robert Goller, who describes the path of the Morris Canal:
Montville: The canal descended three incline planes: Plane 8 East (a 76 foot elevation change); Plane 9 East (a 74 foot elevation change), just east of Plane 8 East. Two bridges crossed the plane are both for Main Road (Now US Route 202), which doubles back across the incline. Then there was Pontoe's bridge, in the Towaco section of Montville, which was a cable suspension bridge.
near Lincoln Park: The canal descended again on Plane 10 East (a 56 foot elevation change) The area was earlier known as Beavertown. The plane was sometimes also called the Pompton plane.
Lincoln Park: the canal dropped at Lock 14 East (a 8 foot elevation change). It was long known as Maines' lock, after the lock tender of many years. Below this lock, the canal began its longest stretch without an elevation change -- the 17-mile level to Bloomfield.

Judicke Vroom: The Mother of All Mourisons?
While I have no definite proof she was Judicke Vroom, the Dutch followed a naming pattern and this suggests the name.
Generally, the first son was named for the father's father, the second son for the mother's father. First daughter, father's mother, second daughter, mother's mother.
With all the missing records I've built this little house of cards upon, what's one more?
Notice this from the Mourison timeline:
Frederick & Jannetje Mauritz Judic 17 Sept. 1741
Jacob & Tryntje Mouritsen-Mourits Jan. 1745
Abraham & Jacomina Mourison- Judick (DOB 15 Oct.) 2 Nov. 1746 (first daughter)
Johannis & Francyna Doremus -Mouris 18 Jan 1747
I would also think the sponsor Judicke of 1745 & 47 is the grandmother.
Judicke does not appear to have been a common name. Who could she have been?
She does not appear to have been a daughter of Pieter and Judith Van Nest. Their brood seems to be spoken for, and they don't have a known daughter Judith.
Someone who does is Hendrick Corssen Vroom*. He is believed to have moved to Somerset County as early as 1683. He married Josina (Josyntje) Pietersen Van Nest, daughter of the much mentioned Pieter and Judith. Hendrick and Josyntje had Judith, bap. 16 March 1679 in Flatlands, Long Island. Dorothy Koenig elaborates that it appears on page 390 of David William Voorhees' edition of the Flatbush Church Records. She was baptized at Midwout on 16 March 1679 as "Judith". Her parents were "Hendrik Corsz." and "Cina Pieters".
A search of the Somerset records fails to locate a spouse for her. I haven't found anything suggesting she died young or moved and/or married elsewhere.
It might explain this:
Jan Jacobusse Lena Pouwelse -Aelty"e 11 June 1738 sp. Frederick Vroom Jannetie Jacobusse (from the timeline)
From Second River Reformed records, Frederick is certainly the Frederick Mourison above. The surname Vroom does not show up at all in any early Morris County area records+ I have seen, and I believe this is very significant.
This would also explain why Hendrick Mourison (named for Hendrick Vroom) appears to be one of the older brothers, with his son Jacob born about 1735.
After the death of Hendrick Vroom, Josyntje married Jacob Sebring; I believe she is a witnesses at the following:
It looks at this point that Jacob was originally married to Josyntje's sister Maria. Early Somerset marriages are a quite nebulous territory.
("Sebring Collections" by Walter Wilson Sebring (p.9) certainly morphs Jacob Sr. (b. 1634) & Jr. into the same person. This is the source I have that Jacob married Maria Van Nest. They apparently were not parents.)

1995 Jaguar XJR Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1995 Jaguar XJR based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
1Known Problem
On this V8 engine, timing chain problems are very common. Because the timing chain tensioners were made from plastic, they can fail prematurely and cause serious engine damage. A noticeable engine noise while idling or during a cold start can indicate a timing chain tensioner problem. The engine noise may also be accompanied by a rough or uneven engine idle. Improved components are available to remedy this problem.

Room 2561 Mayer Hall Addition
All courses, faculty listings, and curricular and degree requirements described herein are subject to change or deletion without notice. Updates may be found on the Academic Senate website: http://senate.ucsd.edu/catalog-copy/approved-updates/.
The Graduate Program
The Department of Physics offers curricula leading to the following degrees:
MS, Physics
CPhil, Physics
PhD, Physics
PhD, Physics (Biophysics)
PhD, Physics, Specialization in Computational Science
Biophysics students will receive their MS and CPhil degrees in physics. Only their PhD will be in physics (biophysics).
Entering graduate students are required to have a sound knowledge of undergraduate mechanics, electricity, and magnetism; to have had senior courses or their equivalent in atomic and quantum physics, nuclear physics, and thermodynamics; and to have taken upper-division laboratory work. An introductory course in solid-state physics is desirable.
Requirements for the master of science degree can be met according to Plan II (comprehensive examination). (See "Graduate Studies: Master's Degrees.") The comprehensive examination is identical to the first-year departmental examination for PhD students. A list of acceptable courses is available in the Department of Physics Graduate Student Affairs office.
Contiguous Bachelor's/Master's Degree Program in Materials Physics
The program offers a MS in physics with specialization in materials physics. It is open only to UC San Diego undergraduates, and is a Plan I program only (thesis). During the first quarter of the senior undergraduate year, students enrolled in the BS degree program with specialization in materials physics (see above) may apply for admission to the MS program. To be eligible, students must have completed the first two quarters of their junior year in residence at UC San Diego and have a GPA of at least 3.0 in both their major and overall undergraduate curriculum. It is strongly recommended that BS students who intend to apply to the MS program take MAE 160, ECE 103, and ECE 134 as restricted BS electives.
It is the responsibility of the prospective BS/MS student to select a faculty member (from the Department of Physics or, with Physics department approval, from the MAE, ECE, or Chemistry departments) who would be willing to serve as the student's adviser and with whom the student would complete at least twelve units of S/U graded research. Research could commence as early as the undergraduate senior year; research units taken during the senior year would count only toward the MS degree and not toward the BS. The student must confirm that the selected faculty adviser will not be on off-campus sabbatical leave during any quarter of the scheduled BS/MS project.
Students are expected to meet the requirements for the MS in one year (three consecutive academic quarters) from the date of receipt of the BS. Any deviation from this plan, such as a break in enrollment for one or more quarters, may result in the student being dropped from the program.
The requirements for the MS are as follows:
- Completion of at least twelve and no more than twenty-four units of research, which may begin as early as the first quarter of the senior undergraduate year. Students accumulate units for their research by enrolling in Physics 295 (MS Thesis Research), which may be taken repeatedly.
- Completion of MAT SCI 201A-B-C during the fifth (graduate) year.
- Completion of two restricted electives, to be chosen from Physics 201, 211A-B; MAT SCI 227, 240A-B-C; ECE 231, 233 (other courses allowed by petition).
- Completion of additional courses (restricted electives and/or research) so that the total number of units (research plus required courses plus elective courses) totals no fewer than thirty-six units taken as a graduate student.
- Maintenance of a grade-point average of at least 3.0 for all course work, both cumulatively and for each quarter of enrollment in the BS/MS program.
- Completion of a thesis, with an oral presentation to, and approval of, a three-member committee from the Department of Physics including the faculty adviser. If the faculty adviser is from outside the Department of Physics, the committee shall consist of the adviser and two members from the Department of Physics faculty.
- Three consecutive quarters of full-time residency as a graduate student that will commence the quarter immediately following the quarter in which the BS is awarded (not counting Summer Session).
- Although students may receive research or teaching assistantships if available, there is no guarantee of financial support associated with the MS program. Students who obtain a teaching assistantship should make sure that it does not interfere with completion of the MS degree requirements within the one-year time frame allotted.
- Teaching is not a requirement for the MS.

Doctoral Degree Program
The department has developed a flexible PhD program that provides a broad, advanced education in physics while at the same time giving students opportunity for emphasizing their special interests. This program consists of graduate courses, apprenticeship in research, teaching experience, and thesis research.
Entering students are assigned a faculty adviser to guide them in their program. Many students spend their first year as teaching assistants or fellows and begin apprentice research in their second year. When a student's association with a research area and research supervisor is well established, a faculty research progress committee is formed with the responsibility of conducting an annual review of progress and, at the appropriate time, initiating the formation of a doctoral committee. After three years of graduate study, or earlier, students complete the departmental examinations and begin thesis research. Students specializing in biophysics make up deficiencies in biology and chemistry during the first two years and complete the departmental examinations by the end of their third year of graduate study. There is no foreign language requirement.
Entrance Testing
An entrance test covering undergraduate physics is given to entering students during the first week of orientation to give better guidance to students in their graduate program. The results are not entered in the student's file. Entering students are encouraged, but not obliged, to bring the results to the first meeting with their academic adviser. Entering students may elect to take the departmental examination instead of taking the entrance test.
Requirements for the PhD
Students are required to pass a departmental examination, advanced graduate courses, a qualifying examination, teaching requirement and a final defense of the thesis as described below.
1. Departmental Written Examination
Physics students are required to take the departmental written examination after completing one year of graduate work at UC San Diego. The examination is on the level of material usually covered in upper-division courses and the graduate courses listed below:
Physics 200A (Theoretical Mechanics)
Physics 201 (Mathematical Physics)
Physics 212A (Quantum Mechanics)
Physics 200B (Theoretical Mechanics)
Physics 203A (Adv. Classical Electrodynamics)
Physics 212B (Quantum Mechanics)
Physics 203B (Adv. Classical Electrodynamics)
Physics 210A (Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics)
Physics 212C (Quantum Mechanics)
The examination is offered twice a year, at the beginning of the fall and spring quarters, and lasts two days, four hours per day. The examination may be repeated once, the next time it is offered.
Biophysics PhD students are required to take the departmental written examination within two years of graduate work at UC San Diego and not later than the beginning of the third year.
The university requires an annual evaluation of each graduate student's progress toward PhD candidacy and thesis defense. To this end, a Research Progress Committee (RPC) is formed for every student during the spring quarter of the second year of graduate study. Students must demonstrate proficiency in giving technical talks through an oral presentation to the RPC.
2. Advanced Graduate Courses
Physics students are required to take five advanced graduate courses from at least three of the groups listed below no later than the end of the third year of graduate work. A 3.0 average over the five courses is required. (In lieu of the course requirement, students may petition to take an oral examination covering three areas of physics.)
- Group 1 (Plasma): Physics 218A-B-C (Plasma); 235 (Nonlin. Plas. Th.)
- Group 2 (Condensed Matter): Physics 211A, 211B (Solid State); 219 (C.M./Matl. SCI Lab), 230 (Adv. Solid State); 232 (Electronic Materials)
- Group 3 (Particle Physics/High Energy): Physics 214 (Elem. Part.); 215A-B-C (Part. & Fields); 222A (Elem. Particle Phys)
- Group 4 (Math): Physics 210B (Nonequil. Stat. Mech.); 221A (Nonlinear Dyn.); 243 (Stochastic Methods); Mathematics 210A-B, 210C (Mathematics Physics); Mathematics 259A-B-C (Geom. Physics)
- Group 5 (Biophysics): Physics 273 (Biological Info); 274 (QBio Stoch Pop Gene); 275 (Fund of Biol Physics); 276 (Quan Molec Bio); 277 (Physics of Cell); 278 (Biophys Neurons)
- Group 6 (Astrophysics): Physics 223 (Stel. Str.); 224 (Intrstel. Med.); 226 (Gal. & Gal. Dyn.); 227 (Cosmology), 228 (HE Astro. & Comp. Obj.); 238 (Observ. Astro Lab)
- Group 7 (General): Physics 217 (Renorm. Field Th.); 220 (Group Th.); 225A-B (Relativ.)
- Group 8 (Computational): Physics 241 and 242 (Comp. Physics); 244 (Parallel Computing in Science and Engineering)
Students enrolled in the Biophysics PhD program select five courses from biology, biochemistry, chemistry, or physics in consultation with their adviser. At least three courses must be graduate courses. For more information, see the Biophysics section, below.
3. PhD Candidacy Examination
In order to be advanced to candidacy, students must have met the departmental requirements and obtained a faculty research supervisor. At the time of application for advancement to candidacy, a doctoral committee responsible for the remainder of the student's graduate program is appointed by the Graduate Council. The committee conducts the PhD candidacy examination during which students must demonstrate the ability to engage in thesis research. This involves the presentation of a plan for the thesis research project. The committee may ask questions directly or indirectly related to the project and questions on general physics that it determines to be relevant. Upon successful completion of this examination, students are advanced to candidacy and are awarded the Candidate of Philosophy degree.
4. Instruction in Physics Teaching
All graduate students are required to participate in the physics undergraduate teaching program as part of their career training. The main component of this requirement is an evaluated classroom-based teaching activity. All graduate student teaching accomplishments are subject to the approval of the Vice Chair for Education. There are several ways to satisfy the teaching requirement, including: (1) leading discussions as a teaching assistant, (2) practical classroom teaching, under faculty supervision, (3) participation in an approved teaching development program offered by the Department of Physics or the campus Center for Teaching Development, or (4) transferred teaching credit from another institution or department. Students who satisfy the requirement by teaching at UC San Diego should enroll in Physics 500 during the quarter in which they complete it.
5. Thesis Defense
When students have completed their theses, they are asked to present and defend them before their doctoral committees.
Time Limits for Progress to the PhD
In accordance with university policy, the Department of Physics has established the following time limits for progress to the PhD. A student's research progress committee helps ensure that these time limits are met.
Advancement to Candidacy
4 years
5 years
Total Registered Time and Support
7 years
8 years
PhD in Physics (Biophysics)
The Department of Physics offers a graduate program which prepares students for a career in biophysics and that leads to the following degrees:
CPhil in Physics
PhD in Physics (Biophysics)
Biophysics students will receive their MS and CPhil degrees in physics. Only their PhD will be in physics (biophysics).
The PhD program consists of graduate courses, apprenticeship in research, teaching experience, and thesis research. Research in biophysics is being actively pursued in several departments (physics, chemistry/biochemistry, and biology) that also offer courses in, or courses relevant to, biophysics.
Requirements for the PhD in Physics (Biophysics)
The specialization in biophysics requires that students complete many of the same requirements as for the physics PhD. Students must pass a departmental written examination, advanced graduate courses, PhD candidacy examination, teaching requirement, and a final defense of the thesis. However, the requirements for the written examination and advanced courses differ slightly from those of the PhD.
Biophysics PhD students are required to take the departmental written examination within two years of beginning graduate studies at UC San Diego, and no later than the beginning of the third year. Biophysics students are required to pass five courses from biology, chemistry, biochemistry, or physics no later than the end of the third year of graduate study. The course plan shall be determined in consultation with the adviser. At least three of these courses must be graduate courses. A 3.0 average over the five courses is required. (In lieu of the course requirement, students may petition to take an oral examination covering three areas of physics.)
PhD in Physics with Specialization in Computational Neuroscience
The Neuroscience Graduate Program, Department of Physics, and Department of Bioengineering offer a specialization in computational neuroscience. Students from these departments or program that pursue the computational neuroscience specialization are trained in the broad range of scientific and technical skills essential to understand the computational and theoretical basis of neural systems. Students in this specialization will be required to fulfill all of the academic requirements for a doctoral degree in their home department or program, and must successfully complete a set of three core computational courses, any other course work as directed by the computational neuroscience committee, and successfully defend a thesis on an approved topic.
Computational Neurosciences Specialization Courses:
BGGN 260/Physics 279/BENG 260 (Neurodynamics), Physics 278 (Biophysical Basis of Neuronal Dynamics), and Cog Sci 260 (Algorithms for the Analysis of Neural Data).
PhD in Physics with Specialization in Computational Science
See "PhD in Mathematics with Specialization in Computational Science" for more information.
The UC San Diego campus is offering a new comprehensive PhD specialization in computational science that will be available to doctoral candidates in participating academic departments at UC San Diego.
This PhD specialization is designed to allow students to obtain training in their chosen field of science, mathematics, or engineering with additional training in computational science integrated into their graduate studies. Prospective students must apply and be admitted into the PhD program in physics, and then be admitted to the CSME program.
Areas of research in the Department of Physics will include computational astrophysics and cosmology (studying star formation and the large scale structure of the universe), computational condensed matter physics (studying nanodevices), computational quantum field theory (studying the four basic forces of nature), computational biological physics (protein folding and other biologically important complex structures), computational nonlinear dynamics, and computational plasma physics. Each faculty member works with graduate students on the listed research topics.
The specialization in computational science requires that students complete all home requirements for the physics PhD degree. Students are required to pass the departmental written examination, advanced course requirements, PhD candidacy examination, teaching requirement, and a final defense of the thesis. The qualifying and elective courses for the CSME program (e.g., Physics 241-244) can be used as part of the advanced course requirement, which is the same as for the physics PhD.
Requirements for the PhD in Physics with Specialization in Computational Science:
Qualifying Requirements: In addition to the home department qualifying exam requirements, PhD students must take the final exams in three qualifying exam courses from the list below. Courses taken to satisfy the qualifying requirements will not count toward the elective requirements.

PhD in Physics with Specialization in Quantitative Biology
A specialization in quantitative biology spanning four divisions—Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences, Jacobs School of Engineering, and Health Sciences—is available to doctoral candidates in physics. This PhD specialization is designed to train students to develop and apply quantitative theoretical and experimental approaches to studying fundamental principles of living systems. The core of this specialization comprises one year of theory courses and one year of lab courses, most of which can be counted towards satisfying physics elective requirements. For more information students should contact the Student Affairs Office.
Departmental Colloquium
The department offers a weekly colloquium on topics of current interest in physics and on departmental research programs. Students are expected to register and attend the colloquium.
Supplementary Course Work and Seminars
The department offers regular seminars in several areas of current interest. Students are strongly urged to enroll for credit in seminars related to their research interests and, when appropriate, to enroll in advanced graduate courses beyond the departmental requirement. To help beginning students choose a research area and a research supervisor, the department offers a special seminar (Physics 261) that surveys physics research at UC San Diego.
Course Credit by Examination
Students have an option of obtaining credit for a physics graduate course by taking the final examination without participating in any class exercises. They must, however, officially register for the course and notify the instructor and the Department of Physics graduate student affairs office of their intention no later than the first week of the course.

Clauses of ` for*' multiply, rather than add; you get 1 iteration for the empty sequence in the same way that you get 1 for the product of an empty set of numbers. A `for*' with a empty sequence, in contrast, is analogous to a set of numbers that includes 0. Although `for*' is documented in the reference by transformation to `for', the transformation highlights how `for' is really a kind of `for*'. If you throw `#:when' out of `for', so that it's not at all `for*', then I think it's most consistent to rule out the case of zero sequences for `for'. (The number of iterations for a plain `for' is the minimum item count of the given sequences, and "minimum" needs a non-empty set.) In that case, the behavior of `for' on zero sequences is arbitrary --- and so we pick the answer that makes `(for () ....)' the same as `(for* () ....)' and that's consistent with `#:when'.

From Carl Calleman:
The Fifth Night of the Ninth Wave starts as of August 18th of 2011 and many are wondering what this energy will carry. When we look back at history the fifth night usually appears as a very destructive time period and this naturally adds drama to the interest. Typically, the Fifth night means a ¨dark age¨ with some kind of destruction and without exception it has meant a sharp economic decline. It is however never entirely true to talk about an energy in the Mayan calendar as exclusively being destructive or constructive, because similarly to how the god Shiva among the Hindus is both the creator and destroyer all calendrical energies carry both aspects and the destructiveness is there to give room for something new to be created. For us who are living in this momentous end time what is important is to be able to grasp the most relevant information from the Mayan calendar and not get stuck in simplistic labels. It was by recognizing this multifacetness of the calendrical energies (and, if you like, Revelation 16) that I was able to correctly predict that the economic collapse caused by the Ninth wave would be precipitated by the Fifth day that started July 31 and ends now on August 17. (http://www.calleman.com/content/
articles/Third_day_Ninth_Wave.htm, May 22 and http://www.calleman.com/content/articles/
Beginning_4thNight_9thWave.htm, July 13).
To some this downturn may seem like a destructive event, inconsistent with a day, but from the perspective of the emergence of unity consciousness, which is the chief purpose of the Ninth wave, the economic crisis is actually a constructive event that paves the way for the future. Based on that assumption it can actually be said that the development of this economic crisis has followed the Mayan calendar with exceptional precision. In the fifth day the stability of several major European banks has been seriously threatened and government leaders are in constant teleconferences to discuss how to halt the crisis. The US, on its part, has lost its status as AAA and since the midpoint of the fourth night (the seating of the energy of the fifth day) 7 trillion dollars of stock value has gone up in smoke.

The Scout.com four-star offensive tackle from Belle Vernon (Pa.) High is the 12th player to commit for the Nittany Lions' Class of 2013.
Dorian Johnson's race came down to Penn State and Pitt, but Ohio State made a late push as Johnson was there a couple of weeks prior to his final visit to Happy Valley.
Ultimately, though, the 6-foot-6, 275-pounder's connection to the Nittany Lion staff and the previous 2013 commits was too strong for other suitors to overcome.
