We heard of the nerves, joy, relief, and validation that comes with dissemination of research. We also learned ofthe PROgeny program and how four of our six accepted posters were part of this mentoring program which sends seasoned professionals to first-time presenters to talk about research and provide networking opportunities. Those who worked on the second-year study of CORP were also able to share some of their findings and implications with the group.

Weird Question Weekly
Bringing you a weekly dose of blog team madness, this is your place to learn more about the bloggers, and tell us more about yourself. Ask us a question, or leave your answer to this week's question in the comments below. We promise not to bite!
This week, meet the dark side of the blog team:
Erin: Not to be completely predictable, but my favorite baddie is definitely Voldemort. Even though I obviously never wanted him to actually win, I always enjoyed reading his scenes in the books (and still do). I love that he feels this need to give these long, complicated speeches–and I have no doubt that if you heard him, he was actually a really good speaker. I may have also gotten endless amusement out of the fact that he said Harry "irked" him in the fifth book. I love him in the movies too–I think they cast him perfectly, and I remember being so excited to find out who they cast back when they were getting ready to film the fourth movie. So yeah…even though I'd always be on the Dumbledore's Army side of things…I'm a Voldemort fangirl deep down!
Elizabeth Fierro: I'm going to have to go with Count Olaf! I have a soft spot for Lemony Snicket, and The Series of Unfortunate Events is one of my absolute favorite books series mainly due to Count Olaf's ridiculous schemes and disguises. He's just slimy enough to be fun to read about without making the stories unpleasant. I have to say that even though I find a sick sort of pleasure in watching my favorite characters get tortured by villains, sometimes they can go too far. I can't reread the fifth Harry Potter book because Umbridge is just too disgusting and awful for me, even as a fictional character. Count Olaf is comedic enough that his terrible deeds aren't too unpleasant to read about.
Kara: Oh, wow, that's a tough one. Does Snape even count as a bad guy anymore? 'Cause I seriously love him. If not, then I'm probably going to have to get all Victorian on you again, and go with Mr. Jingle from Charles Dickens' first book The Pickwick Papers. Mr. Jingle is a down-on-his luck actor who makes use of his skills in a number of slightly dishonest and highly ungentlemanly ways. I love him for his unique manner of speaking (which only Dickens could pull off), and for his creative way of facing up to life's difficulties. Even though he is quite a snarky rogue and charlatan, he ultimately turns out alright in the end (ah, Victorian morality), and his close friendship with his ever-loyal servant Job Trotter makes it rather difficult to believe that Mr. Jingle hasn't got a good heart all along.
Anna: Making this short because I have a French exam and a paper on Lizzie Bennet Diaries/P&P due tomorrow… My favorite bad guy, the one I absolutely LOVE to hate, is Dolores Umbridge. I get so much satisfaction from my utter loathing of her that any time a chapter with her in it comes up on shuffle, I listen to it all the way through. SO great.
Emily: I can't decide what I like better: a cooky kind of evil (Count Olaf, AWESOME choice, Elizabeth!), a moral sort of evil (Hyde, Ambrosio), or a delicious sort of evil in all facets of outward appearance (Cruella, Ursula). I tend to become incensed more by the Malfoys, Jane from Twilight, or Iago (and Umbridge!) who are senselessly tortuous instead of the deeply evil characters like Sauron. I have a soft spot for the White Queen from Narnia and Once Upon A Time's characterization of the Evil Queen – people who have been turned evil after losing something or someone. Perhaps, I can see the comparisons in real life. (Also, I am fascinated by the Odyssey's evil ladies such as Scylla and Charybids, sirens, Calypso, and Circe…)
So, who're you'r favorite bad guy? Leave your answer in the comments below, along with any weird, wild, wacky, or wonderful questions you have for the bloggers. We'll answer you next week!

SPEND an hour or so with U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn, as The Oklahoman's editorial board did last week, and you're reminded that not everyone in Washington is driven first and foremost by political gain.
Coburn, R-Muskogee, is serving his second term in the Senate. He insists that it will be his last. During three terms in the U.S. House in the 1990s and throughout his time in the Senate, the medical doctor has been a spending hawk who's been just as critical of fellow Republicans as he has Democrats. Concerns about hurting the feelings of his colleagues aren't part of the deal. Nor does he see it as his job to make sure Oklahoma gets its share of pork-barrel spending.
Congress could use more members like Coburn, who puts country first. Unlike The Great Divider who occupies the White House, Coburn is willing to make the difficult decisions that are needed to help get the nation's fiscal house in order.
Today we present Coburn in his own words, about the most pressing concerns of the day. What he says is common sense to most of us. That it generally doesn't make a dent in Washington speaks volumes about the politicians and politics of our time.
"Government's 89 percent bigger than it was 10 years ago. Personal income's down 5 percent in this country. And they want to claim that we need more government to be able to solve our problems. And the problem is we're incapable of managing the government we have today.
"The biggest complaints we're having are from federal employees that may get sequestered. Here's a question: The average federal employee ... makes almost $59.84 an hour. That's total benefits, everything. Why didn't somebody say, 'Why don't we just take a pay cut and everybody keep working.'? Not even once suggested by the administration."
"If the No. 1 goal is to get re-elected, then the No. 2 goal is not to offend anybody. If you won't challenge the parochial benefits of programs — even though they're ineffective — because you want to maintain your ability to get votes, you won't see people doing what needs to be done."
"Ada has 15,000 people. They have an unemployment rate of 3.8 percent. They have 17 separate federal jobs programs running in Ada. Seventeen separate jobs programs, none of which are effective. They're effective at employing people in jobs programs.
"Why do we have 47 different job programs for the non-disabled, 55 for the disabled? We spend $23 billion on them per year. Not one of them has a metric of whether it's actually giving someone a life skill to earn a living — not one of them. And all but three of them overlap one another. Why are we doing that? No one can give you an answer. And nobody will fix it."
"The No. 1 thing running in Oklahoma minds right now is there's no confidence in the federal government. And it's almost to a paranoia level: 'Not only do I not have confidence, I don't trust you to do the right thing in my long-term interests.' I think that's dangerous for us as a society — very dangerous."
"Remember IDEA, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act? What was the commitment that the federal government made on funding for that? It was 40 percent of the cost. We've never given more than 21 percent of the cost. We won't have the money to give (to cover Medicaid expansion). Even in the first couple years at 100 percent, it won't be there. So if you're betting on getting 90 percent of that refunded to the state, it's a bad bet, because it isn't going to happen. There isn't the money there. When interest rates change — and they're going to — and they go back to historical norms of about 5.8 percent, we're going to have an additional $650 billion a year in interest costs based on our debt today. It'll be much higher by the time it gets here."

In the wake of the 9/11, when the nation was absorbed in mourning and militancy, the L.A.-based collective Build An Ark came together as a pacifistic response to the attacks. Masterminded by producer and arranger Carlos Niño and virtuoso composer Miguel Atwood-Ferguson (whom some may recognize from their orchestral tribute to J Dilla or collaborations with Flying Lotus) as well as vocalist and composer Dwight Trible, the group has complied a richly diverse catalog of music meant to inspire positivity in its listeners over the past decade. On The Stars Are Singing Too, BAA celebrates its 10-year anniversary with a collection of remixes, alternate takes and live recordings.
Not to be confused as a "leftovers" record, The Stars Are Singing Too plays more like a gift from the group to fans in celebration of its achievements since the band formed in 2001. While not the most accessible entryway into the music, this record will likely prompt an investigation into BAA's earlier work for those with cosmopolitan tastes in music. Opener "Love," an elegant Atwood-Ferguson piano solo, is as welcome and warm as an old friend, but what follows is a worm-tunneling, continent-hopping excursion.
Over the course of the 10 songs that follow, BAA explores, among other things: glitchy orchestral reconstructions ("Dimlite Remix"), free-flying improv ("Build An Ark Improvisation"), mantric chanting ("The Yes Song"), scat-speckled Latin jazz ("Peace And LOVE!"), Head Hunters-style jams ("Temple Jam"), atmospheric soundscapes (the DNTEL remix of the lush "Love, Sweet Like Sugar Cane"), a sitar solo ("Heal The Bay") and a Van Morrison cover (the alternate take of "Sweet Thing").
If there's one constant throughout the cornucopia of styles, it's the ensemble's hallmark exuberant positive energy. Build An Ark keeps the good vibes on blast all the way through The Stars Are Singing Too, creating an anniversary record that feels as much like a world music lesson as a yoga class.

This started life as an attempt at a fabric bowl but, after sitting as a bowl for a while, it relaxed nearly perfectly flat. So, it looked more like the sun. Despite copious amounts of Stiffy, it would not return to it's intended goal of being a bowl. I used commercial cotton fabric, tulle, various quilting and metallic threads, Sulky Solvy, alas--to no avail! LOL!
It is still beautiful!

Experts Say McCain Health Plan Dismantles Employer-based Health Care
AFL-CIO Announces Mobilization to Educate Millions on Negative Impact
WASHINGTON, April 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Sen. John McCain's health care plan would dismantle the employer-provided system that covers more than 60 percent of non-elderly Americans and drive up health care costs, according to experts responding to the announcement of his proposal today. An average family could see their health care costs as much as double under the McCain health care plan, according to an analysis by the Campaign for America's Future.
Campaign for America's Future co-director Roger Hickey, one of the leaders of a new coalition of groups working to fix the broken health care system, said that Sen. McCain's plan would tax the health care premiums employers pay for their workers, encouraging most companies to stop providing any coverage. Hickey noted that instead of lowering costs, this would force millions of Americans to buy more expensive coverage with inadequate tax credits, greatly increasing the number of families who can't afford quality care.
"John McCain's plan must've been written by the insurance companies. It leaves them in more control of America's health care system than ever before," said Hickey. "John McCain wants us all to buy insurance not as part of a group - like an employee group or a co-op - that can negotiate for better coverage at lower premiums, but as individuals, at the mercy of the private insurance companies. It would leave millions of people with worse coverage, more chronic health problems and higher levels of health cost-driven bankruptcies."
Most people, even those with good insurance, don't get the health care
they need, contributing to rising health costs. Sen. McCain, however,
believes that the problem with health care is that Americans have too much
insurance and that if consumers pay for it out of their own pockets, they

The College of Education at the University of Maryland is committed to excellence in research, leadership development, teaching, and service that influences policy and practice related to education, assessment, counseling, and human development in Maryland, nationally, and internationally. To fulfill this mission, the College of Education Departments provide research- and practice-oriented educational programs and prepare students to be educators, counselors, psychologists, administrators, researchers, and educational specialists.
The MCERT program is one of the initial teacher certification programs offered by the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the College of Education, guided by national and state teaching and curriculum standards and emphasizing a commitment to reflection and social justice in education.
Master's Certification in Elementary and Secondary Education (MCERT)
The Master's Certification Program (MCERT) is a graduate-level teacher preparation program that leads to elementary or secondary teacher certification and a Master of Education (M.Ed.).
Content area specializations include: Art, Elementary Education, English, Foreign Language (Chinese, French, German, Italian, Latin, Russian, Spanish), Mathematics, Science (Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, Physics), Social Studies, and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages).
This 13-month, 42-credit program is an intensive, full-time experience that integrates both theory and practice in a school-based program. Interns will be engaged in learning and teaching activities at a school site during the weekdays. In addition, interns will attend pedagogy and education courses several nights a week. The demands of this compact, intensive experience preclude MCERT interns from employment or graduate assistantships during the internship year. The MCERT program is offered only on an intensive full-time basis; there is no part-time option, and we do not offer a distance learning program. The program begins in June and ends by the following August.

Results of the LX211-01 study, which investigated LX211 in 218 patients with active, sight-threatening uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye, will also be presented at AAO on Monday October 26 at 9:00 am PT by clinical investigator Quan D. Nguyen, M.D., of the Wilmer Eye Institute at The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD. "In this study, also a double-masked, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging trial conducted in North America, Europe and India, control of inflammation was evaluated by means of change in vitreous haze at weeks 16 and 24. Results showed the LX211 presumed label dose of 0.4 mg/kg twice daily to be statistically significantly superior to placebo at both time points. Preservation of vision was also demonstrated in this study."
In explaining the overall clinical benefit, C. Stephen Foster, MD, President, Massachusetts Eye Research and Surgery Institution (MERSI), highlighted the ability of LX211 to control inflammation and to significantly delay recurrence of inflammatory exacerbation compared to the control group. Moreover, this result was achieved while successfully reducing corticosteroids to 5 mg/day or less. "Therapy with LUVENIQ conforms to the 2000 uveitis treatment guidelines, and is supported by randomized clinical trials that offer the highest level of evidence-based support. Once approved, LUVENIQ would be the only uveitis therapy so rated and thus, one that should always be offered," Dr. Foster stated in his presentation to the AUS on Sunday October 25 at 8:00 pm PT.
Treatment with LX211 was overall well tolerated at the twice-daily 0.4 mg/kg dose, demonstrating a safety profile that appears suitable for chronic use. Adverse effects on renal function (8.2% of subjects with decrease from baseline of ≥30% in glomerular filtration rate vs. 4.1 % in placebo) and blood pressure (mean increase in systolic BP by 6 mm Hg) were moder

The AIA Guide to Columbus — 2008
By Jeffrey T. Darbee and Nancy A. Recchie
Columbus, the largest city in Ohio, has, since its founding in 1812, been home to many impressive architectural landmarks. The AIA Guide to Columbus, produced by the Columbus Architecture Foundation, highlights the significant buildings and neighborhoods in the Columbus metropolitan area. Skillfully blending architectural interest with historic significance, The AIA Guide to Columbus documents approximately 160 buildings and building groups and is organized geographically. Each chapter provides an opportunity to explore a special area of Columbus' built environment.
The Columbus Architecture Foundation has been affiliated with the American Institute of Architects (AIA), Columbus Chapter, for more than thirty years. Its first book project was Architecture Columbus, published in 1976. This new companion volume updates coverage of the buildings and provides a portable, accessible guide to the city's architectural history.
The AIA Guide to Columbus identifies buildings designated as historic and those that have won awards, and includes information on architectural styles, excellent photographs, maps, a glossary, and an index. The focus is on easy touring, whether the reader is walking or driving. Students, visitors, and residents with a penchant for knowing more about their city will enjoy discovering the rich heritage of Columbus' downtown, special districts, and neighborhoods.
Jeffrey T. Darbee is an historic preservation consultant who lives in Columbus, Ohio.

(Jun 02, 2011) Manal al-Sharif, a Saudi woman, was arrested in Dammam on May 21, 2011, for posting a clip on YouTube showing her driving a car. Dammam is the largest city of the oil-rich Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. The Saudi authorities held a press conference the same day to address the issue of women's right to drive. In that conference, the Director of Public Security, General Saeed Bin Abdullah al-Qahtani, said that the issue of women driving is a legislative matter, while the Director of the Saudi Shura Council's Commission for Human Rights, Dr. Mishal al-Ali, told the news organ ASHARQ AL-AWSAT that there is no legal or religious restriction against the right of women to drive. (The Shura Council is an advisory institution with no legislative powers.) Al-Ali added that the duty of the Saudi authorities is to ensure and protect that right. He further criticized those who contend that women driving offends Islamic morality or opens the door for dissolute behavior. This incident highlights the contentious division within Saudi society about an issue that classical Sharia' law left to the decision of the individuals involved. (Saudi Arabia: Arrest of Female Driver Sparks Debate, ASHARQ AL-AWSAT (May 24, 2011).)
In a statement published a few days later, the Saudi Deputy Minister of Interior, Prince Ahmad bin Abd el-Aziz, confirmed that the Ministry of the Interior is still enforcing an order issued 20 years ago that prohibits women from driving. (Our Duty Is to Enforce the Regulation [in Arabic], ASHARQ AL-AWSAT (May 24, 2011).)
It is of interest to note that under Sharia' law, women have full rights to independently conduct business, own property, and conclude contracts, notwithstanding the fact that in Saudi Arabia they have no right to drive cars.

HEUVELTON - It was a tough day to find a grove as a pitcher on Tuesday as Heuvelton entertained Harrisville in Northern Athletic Conference West Division Softball play.
With the cloudy and damp weather at just under 50 degrees, Heuvelton junior pitcher Logan Tallman overcame nine walks and three team errors pitching a five inning no-hitter over the Pirates in a 21-5 win.
Tallman fanned seven batters in the game where Harrisville scored once in the first and fifth and three in the third.
Heuvelton scored six in the first, nine in the fourth and sealed the win in a four-run fifth with two outs after Hannah Thornhill delivered a double plating her fifth and sixth runs of the game.
Todays weather wasnt a good day for any pitcher. But youve still have to play in it. Its tough after a long inning sitting on the bench in the cold and then pitching, said Heuvelton coach Josie Cole, a former standout Bulldog pitcher, who won her debut as Heuveltons varsity coach.
Hannah Thornhill went 3-5 with two doubles, six RBI and two runs scored for Heuvelton. Alexis Weidner went 2-3 with a double and two RBIs and two runs scored while Alexis Sawyer went 2-4 with three RBIs and three runs scored. Abby Williams connected for three hits (3-4) and two RBIs. Rachel Thornhill, Paige McCormick, and Miranda Donnelly all singled. Malbrie Baker scored twice for Harrisville. Losing pitcher Hannah Weaver, Ema Matott, and Georgie Baker also scored.
In other action, Melissa Foote earned her first varsity coaching win in a 14-13 win for Hermon-DeKalb over Morristown.
Hermond-DeKalb 14, Morristown 13: Morristown took a 13-11 lead in the top of the sixth inning scoring six runs sparked by three singles and a three run homerun by Margret Troiano.
But Hermon-DeKalb responded with three run bottom of the inning. Courtney Harrington plated two runs after reaching on an error. Jenifer Gotham later followed with a two out single scoring Harrington from third after a steal. Chelsey MacKay went 3-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored. Sabrina Wood added two hits and two runs scored while Brooke Woodrow scored three times and drove in a run. Jessica Geddes crushed a solo homerun and singled and drove in two runs and chipped in three runs scored for Morristown. Karissa Bertrand added two hits and two runs scored.
Liz Troiano added two singles, two RBIs and three runs scored. Courtney Harrington pitched the win outdueling Taylor Piercey of Morristown.
Colton-Pierrepont 12, Norwood-Norfolk 8: A five-run fifth inning carried the Colts to an opening day NAC East victory. Sabrina Johnson struck out four in a complete game win while Morgan Doyle, Andrea Aldous, Eve Whalen and Johnson all singled and drove in two runs. Mickey Frego belted two homeruns for N-N and Katie Ames, who went the distance the mound, tripled.

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 22 A new study spearheaded by the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine has determined that environmental monitoring of institutional water systems can help to predict the risk of hospital-acquired Legionella pneumonia, better known as Legionnaires disease. Reported recently in the journal Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, the 20-hospital study also calls for reconsideration of the current national infection-control policy to include routine testing of hospital water systems for Legionella, the bacterial group associated with Legionnaires.
Only those hospitals that had high levels of Legionella bacteria in their water systems had patients who contracted Legionnaires disease, senior author Victor L. Yu, M.D., professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, said of the study, which involved hospitals in 14 states. Proactive monitoring of the hospital water supply alerted physicians to the hidden risk of Legionnaires disease for their patients.
Legionella bacteria first were identified as causing pneumonia in 1976 following an outbreak among attendees at an American Legion convention at a Philadelphia hotel, resulting in the name Legionnaires disease. With an average fatality rate of 28 percent, Legionnaires is estimated to be responsible for up to 20,000 cases a year in the United States, many of them hospital-acquired. Currently, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that hospitals and other health care institutions monitor patients for pneumonia incidence before doing environmental surveillance of water systems that can harbor the bacteria.
Based in part on our work, and in collaboration with the Allegheny County Health Department and the Three Rivers Association for Professionals in Infection Control, the development of proactive guidelines for hospital-acquired Legionnaires disease prevention has led to the virtual disappearance of this infecti

By Elizabeth Eliot
So last week I was talking about how the school year was really starting to get going with homework and everything… Well, if I thought I had a lot to do last week, this week is INSANE. So with all this crazy work to be done, how have I been spending my nights? By PROCRASTINATING, of course!
Yes, yes, I know that it is important to do my homework and study for my tests, and I WILL get it all done eventually… But it's so hard to focus on all of that when there are so many other fun things to do around here. To illustrate, I will provide a basic overview of my daily schedule:
1) Wake up and stumble out of bed (typically my least favorite part of the day)
2) Head over to Dedman (our gym) for my Self-Defense Class–yes, I am taking self-defense for course credit. Not only is it a great, endorphin-infused way to start my day, but it's also super fun and practical!
3) Change into my bathing suit and swim at the indoor pool at Dedman for a little while… I'm an exercise junkie, what can I say?
4) Pass the huge climbing wall on my way out of the gym–I will climb it someday!
5) Get all cleaned up after class and head to the Varsity for some lunch with friends–either Pizza Hut, Subway, Chick-Fil-A, or sushi… can't complain with that. I love eating at the varsity because literally EVERYONE is either there or in our main dining hall during peak lunch hours, so it's a great chance to see all the people who aren't in my classes this semester.
6) Go to class, work hard.
7) Go to the Einstein's in the business school to grab coffee and "study." Actually I'll probably just talk to MORE people that I know (Einstein's is another popular meeting place on campus) or have a quick chat with one of my business professors–they need their coffee, too!
8) Head over to the student center to meet with my Bible Study group– We'll talk about theological issues, but mostly we just like to use this time to catch up and chat.
9) Walk home and debate between getting an early start on my homework or going to dinner and a movie with friends in Mockingbird Station… Obviously I choose to do the latter. It's so convenient that I might as well!
10) Get home, it's approximately 9:45 PM, head to the library–open 24 hours, thank goodness!–Do my homework… Necessary, but unfortunate.
11) Go to bed and start all over!
Thus, it's pretty easy to see why I have such a hard time getting started on my homework. I guess it's both a blessing and a curse having so much to do around campus–I'm never bored here, but at the same time, everything I CAN do is so much more appealing than the work that I HAVE to do…
Ah, the exceedingly difficult life of an SMU student. (Heavy Sarcasm)

The biology major is designed to give a broad pre- professional background for students interested in careers in biology, molecular biology, biomedical science, environmental science, and related fields. Students beginning in fall 2012 or after will select one of three tracks: ecology, molecular biology, or integrative biology.
Biology majors are required to demonstrate basic knowledge in important areas of the life sciences from the cellular and molecular level through the ecosystem level. They learn how to conduct scientific studies to test appropriate hypotheses, collect and analyze data, and synthesize the information obtained. Students will demonstrate knowledge of skills and laboratory techniques necessary for investigative research. Through this program, students also have the opportunity to develop their writing and speaking skills. Students earn a biology degree by completing the requirements for a B.S. or B.A. as indicated below. Because of a curriculum revision instituted in fall 2012, the requirements for students enrolling at Eckerd before fall 2012 differ from those enrolling for fall 2012 or later.
For the B.S. degree, students must complete the following:
MA 131M Calculus I
MA 133M or any approved statistics course
CH 121N and CH 122 General Chemistry I & II
CH 221 and CH 222 Organic Chemistry I & II
PH 241 and PH 242 Fundamental Physics I & II
Eight biology courses as prescribed below
BI1/BI2 498 Two semester Senior Capstone course
Transfer students and students participating in off-campus programs may petition for alternatives to these specifications. A grade of C- or better is required in the following biology courses: BI 111N Ecology and Evolution, BI 112N Cells and Genes, BI 212 Genetics and Molecular Biology, and BI1/BI2 498 Senior Capstone course.
For students enrolling at Eckerd College before fall 2012, the eight biology courses must include:
Botany (BI 100N) or Plant Biology (BI 221)
Zoology (BI 101N or BI 222)
Cell Biology (BI 202) or Cells and Genes (BI 112N)
Genetics and Molecular Biology (BI 303 or BI 212)
Principles of Ecology (BI 301)
one physiology course (BI 308 or BI 314)
two biology elective courses
For students enrolling at Eckerd College for fall semester 2012 or later, the eight biology courses must include the following five courses and three courses in one of the tracks listed below:
BI 111N Ecology and Evolution
BI 112N Cells and Genes
BI 212 Genetics and Molecular Biology
one organismal course (BI 221 Plant Biology, BI 222 Principles of Zoology, BI 200 Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy, MS 289 Marine Invertebrate Biology, or BI 204 Microbiology) or the equivalent as determined by biology faculty,
one physiology course (BI 308 General and Molecular Physiology or BI 314 Comparative Physiology) or the equivalent as determined by biology faculty
In addition to the five courses above, three courses in one of the following tracks are required:
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY track - CH 415 Biochemistry I and any two of the following Upper-level Molecular Synthesis Courses: BI 397 Neuroscience, BI 412 Receptor Pharmacology, BI 422 Advanced Molecular Topics, BI 424 Developmental Biology, or CH 417 Biochemistry II.
ECOLOGY track - BI 301 Principles of Ecology and any two of the following Ecological Synthesis Courses: BI 351 Plant Ecology, BI 352 Behavioral Ecology, BI 371N Conservation Biology, or BI 373 Restoration Ecology.
INTEGRATIVE track - BI 301 Principles of Ecology and one course from two of the three following Upper-level Synthesis sets:
Molecular Upper-level Synthesis Set
BI 397 Neuroscience
BI 412 Receptor Pharmacology
BI 422 Advanced Molecular Topics
BI 424 Developmental Biology
Organismal Upper-level Synthesis Set
MS 302 Biology of Fishes
MS 311 Marine Mammalogy
MS 315 Elasmobranch Biology and Management
AN 448 Human Osteology and Anthropology
BI 362 Biology of Amphibians and Reptiles
BI 372 Parasitology
Ecological Upper-level Synthesis Set
BI 351 Plant Ecology
BI 352 Behavioral Ecology
BI 371N Conservation Biology
BI 373 Restoration Ecology
For the B.A. degree, students must fulfill the requirements and track options as listed for the B.S. degree above except that Organic Chemistry I and II and Fundamental Physics I and II are not required. Because Organic Chemistry I and II are prerequisites for Biochemistry I, it is anticipated that the B.A. option for the molecular track will be very rarely used.
Students who major in biology may not also major in marine science (biology track) or biochemistry.
Sample course sequence for students starting in fall 2012 or later (for sample course sequences under the pre-2012 model, see the 2010-2012 edition of the catalog):

Update: 'The Voice' premiered to a preliminary (Fast National ratings) 4.1 adults 18-49 and 'The New Normal' premiered to a 2.5 adults 18-49 rating.
The official start of the new season is still a couple of weeks away, but some shows are premiering in those two weeks, including tonight's premieres of The Voice and The New Normal (and for sports fans, a Monday Night Football doubleheader).
The Voice's third season, it's first in the fall, isn't going to premiere nearly as well as its second season did, but the second season had the benefit of the lead-in being a record breaking Super Bowl which averaged more than 111 million viewers. As a result The Voice's second season premiered to 37.6 million viewers and a 16.3 adults 18-49 rating. With that momentum, the Monday premiere the next night averaged a 6.7 adults 18-49 rating. I don't see much (any) chance of that happening tonight, and while it is traditional to compare premieres to premieres and finales to finales, the better barometer here is probably to compare the premiere with last spring's finale. The final performance show averaged a 3.8 adults 18-49 rating and the results finale drew a 4.4 adults 18-49 rating.
My guess is NBC will be thrilled with anything near a 4.0 adults 18-49 rating and won't be biting its fingernails unless it debuts below a 3.0 adults 18-49 rating.
Whatever The Voice does it's reasonable to conclude The New Normal will be lower, most likely considerably.

Calcite statue of a standing female figure
Sabaean, 3rd-2nd century BC
From Marib or Qataban, Yemen
Calcite sculptures such as this are typical of South Arabia, and most known examples seem to have been dedicated in temples as votive offerings. These were donations made in the hope of gaining the favour of the god, and perhaps also intended to show publicly the wealth of the donor. Small human statues were the most common type. This standing woman may originally have held an offering. The tendency to abstraction and to rather squared shapes is noticeable. We cannot tell how such sculptures relate to cult images, as we do not know what form the divine image in a temple took.
The wealth of the donors of such statues must in some cases have derived from the fact that the southern Arabians had the monopoly for two of the most prized materials of ancient times: frankincense and myrrh. These two aromatic resins only grow in eastern Yemen, southern Oman and Somaliland. Their production and trade was in the hands of the ancient south Arabians. Every temple or wealthy home in the Mediterranean and Near East required them, and purchasers were prepared to pay their weight in gold. This is the historical background to the legendary account in the Old Testament of the Queen of Saba making a caravan journey to Jerusalem.
During the first millennium BC, a number of independent states appeared in southern Arabia. Apart from the spices, an important factor in the wealth of these cities was that they were on the great trade routes linking the Middle and Far East to Europe and Africa.

Management Principles
To Effectively Govern Church Life
By T. Ray Rachels
This issue of Enrichment is part one of a two-part series on church management. The goal of these issues is to better equip pastors and church leaders to successfully navigate through the oftentimes complex matrix of church-management issues.
The following article serves as our primer on the subject of church management. It summarizes a variety of management issues that will be covered in greater detail in subsequent articles in this issue as well as articles appearing in part two—the winter 2004 issue.
Finally, topics are cross-referenced within and across the three major sections of the issue giving multiple entry points on subjects of specific interest to you.
The closest I have come to seeing a perfectly managed organization was on a downtown sidewalk in Visalia, California. There were 20 preschoolers, walking single file and accompanied by 4 teachers—one teacher in front, one at the rear, and one on either side—boxing them in. Down the middle was a rope held by the teachers in front and back. Twenty preschoolers, 10 on each side, held the rope as they walked, talked, laughed, and looked around. It was a perfect system for getting preschoolers in a difficult environment safely from point A to point B, with minimal disturbance.
The teachers were competent in their task and the kids happy to be led. With everybody going in the same direction, it was management by walking around; all parties had a hands-on relationship to the task. And those who looked on applauded the event with appreciation.
John Kotter of the Harvard Business School says, "Management is about coping with complexity. Without good management, complex enterprises tend to become chaotic in ways that threaten their very existence. Good management brings a degree of order and consistency to key dimensions."
Those 20 preschoolers, led by 4 wise managers, is an example of how to deal effectively with a group that has a high potential for disorganization.
Managing The Local Church
As pastor, you are called to manage your church. Whether you have a large or small church, paid or volunteer staff, leading and managing your church effectively remains at the heart of ministry.
Don Cousins, in Mastering Church Management, says: "The term administration, itself, hardly sets feet dancing. In many peoples minds, administration stands precipitously close to bureaucracy. It smacks of endless details, rigidity, red tape, and routine.
"Yet, administration—managing the affairs of a church—often spells the difference between pastoral effectiveness and ineffectiveness."
Managing Through Church Governance
The single most effective strategy for building public confidence in organizational church life is accountability. Without openness and transparency that provides disclosure of decisions and actions, a pastoral leader invites suspicion and mistrust. One of the important ways to build trust is to have good church governance. (For a thorough discussion on this subject, see the section on managing church government beginning.)
Constitution and Bylaws
Part of church governance includes proper organizational structure. Every congregation needs to be accountable to its constitution and bylaws. If these documents are well-written, they will provide structure for responsible accountability for everyone within the organization. Bylaws set up procedures by which the church operates. These procedures are not obstacles to effective ministry but an aid to getting things done right. It is important to cultivate congregational respect for its bylaws. The foundation of accountability is a uniform governance standard to which everyone must conform.
Decisionmaking at the board level is hard work. It is a process that requires asking questions and insisting on answers. It requires evaluating facts and information, weighing risks and rewards, and reviewing alternatives. It may also require consulting experts such as accountants, attorneys, fundraisers, engineers, and financial planners.
The board must have freedom to discuss and debate issues, deliberate, and then make decisions. The board can make responsible decisions only if it has its eyes open and has access to all relevant information. If a pastor discourages board members from asking questions or characterizes reasonable inquiry as negative, he* fails in his responsibility and does not serve the best interests of the church. Board members cannot fulfill their duties if their pastor refuses to provide answers to reasonable questions.
Where only views supporting or approving pastoral decisions are permitted, truth and reality are suppressed. Where differing views are discouraged or characterized as negative thinking, accountability is also suppressed. The result is poor, ineffective, and unaccountable board decisionmaking. The better rule is to encourage open and free discussion where all views are heard and respected.
There is no reason why a split decision is always unacceptable. Where there is freedom to vote against proposals, accountability abounds, and effective, positive board decisions are possible.
The Book of Acts relates how Paul and Barnabas had a sharp difference of opinion (Acts 15:36–41). Although Paul and Barnabas disagreed, it worked out well for both.
Unanimity was not necessary for their ministry to continue. In fact, unanimity, had it been the rule, would have frustrated any meaningful missionary activity by either Paul or Barnabas.
A caution is in order, however. Boards need to temper the pursuit of honest inquiry with a spirit of cooperation toward pastoral leadership to avoid an antagonistic relationship. When the spirit of cooperation is lost, the churchs pastoral leadership, ministry, and accountability will suffer.
Church finances are another area that must be managed well. Maintaining financial integrity requires full and regular disclosure to a competent church board and to the congregation at the annual business meeting.
A churchs budget should be analyzed for cost-benefit ratios, as in any effective business or organization. In ministry, organizational efficiency means positive, tangible outcomes resulting from investing funds.
If a church wants to regain lost credibility, it must make sure it keeps promises and does so within budget. A team of leaders that includes members of the congregation, not just staff, also enhances credibility. This process involves time and a long-term strategy. (Managing the Local Church, part 2 [winter 2004], will discuss church finances in much greater detail.)
Since a church is a corporation, accountable not only to its membership, but also to its legal charter, it must pay attention to paperwork. Corporate existence, health, status, financial condition, liability, and accountability all depend on written documents.
A key component of accountability for any church is an effective system of documentation. Without a proper paper trail, it is difficult for anyone to determine who made what decision, based on what information, and who was told about it. Good minutes tell the story.
Every good pastor needs accountability with a good board. "A board of directors," said Robert R. Thompson and Gerald R. Thompson in Organizing for Accountability, "acts only in the form of a resolution. If formal resolutions are not proposed, debated, and passed, the board has not acted. Moreover, if a resolution exists only in verbal form, every board member will have a different recollection of what it was. The virtue of putting resolutions in writing is that it helps end any dispute as to what action the board took." A rule of thumb: always put it in writing. (See sidebar, "Minutes of Meetings—A Guide," in the managing church government section.)
Managing goals and vision
The success of a well-managed church depends on how it fulfills Gods plans and purposes. In one of Annie Dillards books, she talks about life lessons on swinging an axe and chopping wood.
"Chopping wood," she says, "is best done when you aim for the chopping block. If you aim for the wood, you will hit nothing. Aim past the wood, aim through the wood; aim for the chopping block."
That idea holds a great lesson for building a healthy local church. When swinging your management axe, look past the present moment, past the little pieces of church life that may hold distractions for you, past the inefficiencies and poorly managed systems that may now be in place. Take the long view, the view that tells you and the entire congregation about a fabulous future that is available to express itself in biblical proportions, needing only a tough and tender guiding hand to point it toward a Christ-honoring future.
Big questions remain: What priorities must I employ that puts into motion a standard of excellence for my pastoral leadership? What management principles govern effective church life? Will Spirit-led people follow? How do I get people on board? Where do I start?
For a pastor to lead his church and manage it well, he must know where his church needs to go. This is accomplished through a vision and mission statement. This credo—a mission statement—will be a behavioral guide for every person in leadership, from the custodian, to the ushers, teachers, board members, to the lead pastor. Be specific and honest. Whatever success or failure you may have as pastor should tap into that credo/mission statement as the values that will be applied by every team member to every ministry in the local church, no matter how small it may seem. And your effectiveness will come only to the degree that people buy into your beliefs and purpose. If this is not in place, you will not be able to effectively lead your staff and church. Here are some areas that are important.
There should never be confusion about why your church exists.
Spell it out. Then include your well-defined purpose in every strategy the church undertakes. Your influence within and outside the congregation will grow as you present clear and compelling reasons for your churchs mission to the community.
Make sure everyone can clearly state the churchs purpose.
Its one thing for the pastor to know what the churchs business is; its another to transfer that vision so the people have ownership of it.
Thomas Watson, Jr., founder of IBM in 1914, built the incredible success of IBM on the few words he wrote and distributed to each employee he hired: "One, the individual must be respected. Two, the customer must be given the best possible service. Three, excellence and superior performance must be pursued." These words are still in force at IBM and are at the heart of its Business Conduct Guidelines manual which is distributed to every employee once a year and is required reading.
When a churchs vision and core values are clarified, energy is infused into the entire organization.
Make sure your people know their role in making the churchs purpose a reality.
Cousins likens the church to a football team. The purpose is to get the ball across the goal line. But unless the wide receiver knows his route, and the left tackle his blocking assignment, and the center the snap count, they will trip over each other and go nowhere. Every player needs to know his specific assignment.
Its the same in the church, notes Cousins. If the worship leader doesnt know how much time he is allotted in the service, or if the youth leader doesnt know what activities he or she is expected to plan, or if the ushers arent told about special events, there will be disarray. In the well-managed church, these players not only know the overall purpose, they also know what they can do to contribute to the goal. (See the section managing the church office and managing church staff.)
Put your best foot forward by having a neat, clean, and attractive facility.
This is especially true for those areas people pass through on Sunday morning—"Main Street," as Don Cousins calls it.
Main Street is the corridor from the parking entrance, through the parking area, church entrances, lobbies, and main halls, to the auditorium—the portion everybody, especially visitors, passes through on Sunday. They may not see the offices or rehearsal rooms, but people at church will walk through Main Street.
Neglecting Main Street speaks volumes about church management. Pastoral managers who are careful about these details will likely have other aspects of ministry under control. (Managing the Local Church, part 2 [winter 2004], will discuss managing church facilities in greater detail.)
"Management helps us make the most of the light we have," advises Cousins. "Organization helps us enhance our capabilities. If we order our lives well, and carefully manage those placed in our charge, our churches will shine brightly, as lights set on a hill."
Decisionmaking is easy when values are clear. A churchs core values are the basis for church leadership decisions. Nothing feels better than playing on a team where everyone is trying to move the ball toward the same goal. Few experiences are more stressful than working with a group whose values are moving them in opposite directions. (See sidebar "Developing an Outstanding Staff" in the managing church staff section.)
Managing change
A museum in Corpus Christi, Texas, contains an exhibit of a mockingbird skeleton. Inside the winged skeleton is a huge eggshell. The bird produced an egg too large to lay and died trying to lay it. A leader who emphasizes or promotes teachings that do not match the theological selectivity of most people in his congregation understands how that mockingbird must have felt.
When you feel change is needed and seek to initiate that change before bringing your board and congregation alongside you, then, as the premedieval mariners maps warned about unknown territories: "There be dragons."
People will follow a good pastor almost anywhere when trust is established. And trust takes work and time.
When working toward change, a wise pastors most important role is to determine the parameters in which committees or task forces do their work. The idea is to give away tasks to competent people. Let them know what needs to be done and when, empower them, and release them to fly. When you cast your bread on waters like that, it usually comes back buttered, with jam on it. (See sidebar, "Finding and Discipling Quality Volunteers." Choose article "Managing the Church Office: An Ever-changing Challenge.")
The most common mistake is trying to change too much, too fast, too soon. We overestimate what we can do in 1 year and underestimate what we can do in 5 years.
In guiding people toward a realistic pace of change, Paul Mundey, director of the Andrew Center, a nondenominational agency for helping church leaders, suggests that effective pastors and lay leaders follow these principles:
Affirm that grandiose is not always grand.
Overambitious, big-time plans do not always serve the best interests of a local church. In many instances, small is beautiful, beneficial, and better. Management guru, Charles Handy, reminds us that it is often the seemingly insignificant things that alter life most profoundly:
"The chimney, for instance, may have caused more social change than any war. Without a chimney, everyone had to huddle together in one central place around a fire, with a hole in the roof above. The chimney, with its separate flues, made it possible for one dwelling to heat a variety of rooms. Small units could huddle together independently. The cohesion of the tribe in winter slipped way."
Where do you need to build chimneys, rather than bonfires, in the life of your congregation?
Affirm that a journey of many miles is taken in many steps.
Most change efforts need to be undertaken step-by-step, plank-by-plank. Three years worth of change cant take place in 3 months. But it can be broken down into a series of smaller incremental changes. A sequence of multiple steps gives people time to adjust to each smaller change as it comes.
Affirm that one size does not fit all.
Congregations can be seduced by the notion that a successful change effort in one place will automatically work in their church.
Each congregation has its own unique identity and fingerprint, defined by its culture, systems, and temperament. Church size affects the programs and ministry approaches a leader should attempt. For instance, it might not be wise to force highly structured programming on a smaller, relationally based, family church.
Affirm that addition is better than subtraction.
Change happens best as we multiply peoples options, rather than pulling the plug on cherished activities. Adding a Saturday morning small group for working women is preferable to disbanding the Tuesday morning sewing circle (no matter how gossipy they may have become).
Affirm that Gods provision accompanies Gods vision.
Dream the dreams, but count the cost. Challenge committees or task teams with a fundamental question: "Do we have the minimal resources necessary—in terms of time, money, people, and energy—to undertake this effort?" There will always be tension between vision and provision. Even the best idea, pushed at the wrong moment, can be a disaster.
Managing time
The term time management may seem like an oxymoron to most pastors. But meeting the challenge of time management is not impossible.
Pastors work with five resources: time, people, money, buildings, and equipment. Of these five, time is the hardest to manage because we cannot see it. Yet this invisible resource determines what we accomplish with the other four.
In recent years several effective time-management principles and methods have emerged from the business and church world. As you review the qualities/characteristics of thinking and behavior patterns for keeping control of the things that can be controlled in your schedule, ask yourself: Do my time-management habits help or hinder my productivity as a church leader?
Leaders often lament their need to find time to effectively accomplish their ministries. Finding time is a picturesque metaphor but a less than precise phrase. Time is never lost, only poorly used. If pastors see themselves as stewards of a precious gift and build on that perception with effective goals and habits, effective ministry results.
First, decide your life and ministry priorities. Second, decide to use your time to accomplish those priorities, instead of the dozens of other important matters that clamor for your time. Function from this perspective and you will find the time about which other people only dream.
Improving managerial skills
In a famous comic strip, Charlie Brown is forlornly explaining to Lucy the scientific details of why kites fly. As hes busily winding up his kite string, he says that the ratio of weight to surface area is known as sail loading. Lucy listens to his technical explanation about kites and praises his knowledge. In the last frame, Lucy asks him why his kite is down the sewer.
Most pastors and church leaders recognize that, despite countless books and articles on the art/science of management, something is still missing. How do you keep your kite in the air and out of the sewer?
Many pastors may not know their management style and how if affects their role as pastor. Once they determine their style, pastors also need to understand how effective their style is and how to change their style to be most effective in every situation. To understand more about management styles and how to use them effectively, visit: http://business.baylor.edu/phil_vanauken/articles.html.
Jack Welch, CEO of General Electric from 1981 to 2001, presided over that companys rise to become the largest corporation in the world. An interviewer in Harvard Business Review asked him how GE was able to maintain its growth momentum, given the complexities of the organization, its size, and the need to discipline spending.
Welchs answer: "GE is big in its overall size but small in its execution."
Question: "What are three or four things I can do right now to make my company small in execution?"
Answer: "Get information from every person so each knows his/her ideas count. Celebrate small successes. Evaluate people down to the lowest units, so they know their achievements are constantly being measured and that they count. Its critical that people know their contributions matter. Its critical that they know what they do will be seen and rewarded."
Welch further said that you should "always overstaff an opportunity. If you believe a business is critical to your future, put better people on it than it seems to deserve. If its a $5 million business, put a $300 million person to work on it while its still $5 million, and they will make it $300 million. You put a $5 million person on it, and it will stay $5 million."
That same principle applies to church management. If your church is located in a community filled with young couples with small children, the most valuable staff person will be one whose expertise is ministry to young families with children. (Read the section "Hiring Eagles—One at a Time" in Dan Reilands article "The Art Of Managing Church Staff.) Good leaders/managers must point their knowledge toward the right goals.
"Talent, like muscle, grows through exercise," advises Kenneth Hilderbrand. "If we fail to extend ourselves and merely go through the motions while we wait for something more fitted to our abilities to come along, we are headed for continual frustration. We may think we have ability enough to warrant starting at the top, but the only chance most people get to start at the top is digging a hole."
God has never put anyone in a place too small to grow. Wherever our place may be—on a farm, in the office, behind a counter, at a teachers desk, in a kitchen, wearing a uniform, caring for a child, or behind a pulpit—when we fill that place to the best of our abilities, personal growth is inevitable. Three things being to happen:
We do a better job of what were doing.
We expand our talents through vigorous use.
We fit ourselves for larger responsibility and wider opportunity.
You reap what you sow. Its a principle so elementary that all other factors, without exception, pale in comparison.
*Use of the masculine pronoun for pastor is used throughout this issue and should be understood to include both genders.

I Heard Gods Voice For RealI was a kid about 6 or 7 years old standing outside on a bright sunny day in summer,suddenly this huge voice calls my first name,it was so loud,wise and powerful i expected people to come out onto their balconies but no one did.I looked all over the place as even at that age i new this was not a normal voice,and in the sky which had not a single cloud just blue sky i saw 2 giant birds of prey one was all silver on the left and the other one all gold on the right and they were fighting ferociously feathers fell mixed of their fury this lasted for about 8 to 10 seconds then i turned to a friend i had he was about 3 feet away and i figured that he heard the voice so i said did you see that and he looked at me sarcastically and said see what ? never mind i said,and didn't tell this to anyone for quite a few years because most people would surely think that i'm nuts.
I have experienced the power of prayer later on in life that is,and fully believe that the son of god is in fact the almighty's living word ,
also the power of the laying of the hand.
and i love the way the book of john starts.
anyway i don't want to babble on too much and i appreciate being able to share this strange story.
Spiritual experiences can be had while among others yet affect only you. You shouldn't be surprised at their disbelief.
Laying on of hands is a small way we can channel The Holy Spirit which is a name for a more complete, fuller version of God's energy we usually see only part of.
The whole Creation was/is made of God's energy. Most are blind to this fact. The Holy Spirit is uncommon but is the right of everyone to experience if only they allowed it. A slight against The Holy Spirit is said to be the only unforgivable transgression.
parents should not give kids LSD
what??? I know I dunno but it sure sounds weird about the birds especially...but while on the topic did you ever see a miracle?
You heard God speak to your Spirit and you heard Him with your spiritual ears and this is why no one else heard him. Most people don't understand this but true believers do. God bless you. What a wonderful story.
Very interesting, especially as we watch silver and gold fight for top sales.
I have had a few miracles so I know God manifests Himself whenever and however He wants. I know He always knew you would be a great follower of Him and therefore, it is easy for you to recognize great miracles in your life. The same is for me. God had given me so much and I now try to open my eyes MORE to see where He is in everything and what He is trying to tell me, and I am constantly looking for miracles, so I think I see more now than ever.

Here is yet another Lost rumor/spoiler
We've heard about the possible deaths coming up on Lost at the end of the season. A couple of characters (called major or major-ish by various media outlets) will be gone at the end of the season, and the deaths of at least one of them and maybe both are going to cause some fans to be bummed out for the entire summer until next season. So how about some different news?
Michael Ausiello is reporting that they are filming a wedding scene today, and the scene will be in the season finale on May 13. There's no indication on who the bride and groom are, but there are several Asian-American extras that have been cast for the wedding scenes. This could, of course, mean that Sun and Jin will be reunited and get re-married. The craziest rumor? The wedding is actually from the future, and the bride and groom will be...Aaron and Sun and Jin's daughter?!
That's undeniably adorable but at the same time a little too over the top. Didn't they do this in the series finale of Will and Grace? I thought it was silly then, but maybe (if it is true) it has some bigger meaning to the Lost mystery and not just a romantic plot device.

As an analog practitioner it is not something I would do. I have no interest in sitting at a computer to do any of my photographic work. I do silver and selective masking when required, but it's all analog.
I brought up Alan Ross because he's got to make thousands (literally) of identical silver gelatin prints of Adams's negatives for sale and other uses. So any tool whatsoever that can improve efficiency and/or lessen drudgery is on the table. In several cases he's combined many layers of non-digital selective burning/dodging masks into one set so that he can essentially make each print in one exposure with all the burning/dodging incorporated into the mask layers. In this way not only is there less labour, but every print is identical.
