If Congress legislates to avoid the "fiscal cliff," it will do so through a coalition of Republicans and Democrats. Cliff-avoiding legislation could, in theory, still spring from a deal between President Obama and Speaker Boehner. Or it could spring from the Senate.
But in either scenario, the Democrats must want to avoid going over the "cliff," even though the plunge would probably work to their political advantage. And Speaker Boehner must be willing to put his Speakership at serious risk.
In addition, a bill must be formulated, and soon, that can command the support of enough House Democrats and Republicans to pass. The number of votes needed from one Party depends on the number of votes that can be obtained from the other, and I doubt that anyone has a clear idea of the number of votes a given deal could garner from either.
In short, the will may not exist to legislate a "fix." And even if it does, there may not be enough time to pull it off.
Thus, the most likely cliff-avoiding scenario might be a punt that buys more time.

Arenberg (Bierer)ProfessorSpeech and Hearing Sciences, Graduate Program in NeuroscienceResearch InterestsPerceptual measurements in response to cochlear implants; Development and assessment of new clinical speech processing techniquesProfessor Bierer's research interests involve cochlear implants, which are prostheses that enhance or restore hearing in severely impaired individuals. Cochlear implant patients typically perform well, but they show a wide range of speech perception abilities and most can not enjoy music. Her research addresses the possible causes of poor outcomes and explores new clinical techniques and signal processing methods that may improve the way cochlear implant patients hear.706Arenberg JG
Les AtlasProfessorElectrical EngineeringResearch InterestsTheory of Time-Frequency and Time Scale Analysis, Speech Recognition and Analysis,Theory of Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis: Almost all physical signals come from systems that are time-varying. Our theory drops all the typical assumptions of stationary increments in time (and space) and is able to directly resolve spectral detail while preserving time dynamics. This theory has been extended to develop optimal time-frequency smoothers for classification and detection applications. Current work is directed toward providing a theoretical foundation for spectral analysis and transformations of the dynamics of time-varying systems. This theory has been applied to sonar, radar, machine and manufacturing monitoring, and speech and music signal analysis. Biomimetic Acoustic Analysis: An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Maryland, Boston University and the University of Washington are providing new principals for acoustic analysis. Prof. Atlas has provided this team with a new framework for understanding how auditory systems represent signals which are time-varying. This new approach, called "autoambiguity analysis," has improved the performance of systems used in manufacturing, machine monitoring, and sonar applications. Speech Recognition and Analysis: Most researchers agree that most of the information in speech is contained within the time-varying portions of speech. The above time-varying analysis algorithms have been used to determine which aspect of the dynamics is most important for accurate speech recognition and these results have been used to improve recognizer performance.689Atlas L

The principal current focus is on the song control system in the brains of songbirds. I emphasize a comparative, evolutionary approach to this system, and combine behavioral studies in the field with laboratory techniques in neuroendocrinology, neuroanatomy, molecular biology, and signal analysis. I am currently pursuing three major topics of study in the song system. One concerns the physiological and molecular mechanisms, and the behavioral consequences, of seasonal plasticity observed in the morphology of song regions of the brain. A second topic concerns the recruitment of new neurons to a song nucleus in the forebrain of adult birds, studied from the perspective of its physiological regulation and the influence of environmental factors. The third topic relates to the observation that neurons in song control nuclei receive input from auditory regions, and respond selectively to the presentation of conspecific song. I am investigating the role of song nuclei in the behavioral recognition of conspecific song in the contexts of mate choice and territorial defense. .39Brenowitz EA

David W. RaibleProfessor; Adjunct ProfessorBiological Structure; Biology, Genome SciencesMy lab is interested in how, during embryonic development, cells of the nervous system acquire their specific fates, so that they display the distinct characteristics necessary for their proper function. We have been examining how neural crest cells make cell fate choices in the zebrafish embryo, an emerging vertebrate developmental system with distinct advantages for cellular, molecular and genetic study. The neural crest generates the neurons and glia of the peripheral nervous system, as well as pigment cells and craniofacial cartilages. We are interested in how environmental factors such as wnts and BMPs are involved in specifying these cell fates. We have also performed a genetic screen to identify genes involved in the specification of particular lineages. We have identified mutations affecting the development of dorsal root ganglia, the enteric nervous system, jaw cartilages and pigment cells. Our overall goal is to determine how these genes regulate differentiation into specific cell types, identify upstream factors regulating their expression and the downstream effectors that confer specific cell characteristics.37Raible DW

He also studies EEG event-related potentials that are co-registered to MRI and fMRI during the cognitive task of face perception. Proton MR spectroscopy is also used in several projects to study neurochemical changes in neurological disorders. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), functional connectivity, and perfusion imaging are also used. By use of proton echo-planar spectroscopic imaging (PEPSI), Richards and colleagues measure various brain metabolites (lactate, N-acetyl-aspartate, choline, and creatine) to try to identify brain regions that are normally activated during language processing and which may be dysfunctional in children with dyslexia. Studies led by Richards comparing brain changes in children with and without dyslexia should elucidate critical features of genetic, developmental, and environmental interactions among influences affecting the severity of the disability. He is also involved in using fast spectroscopic imaging to observe decreases in N-acetyl-asparate and choline-containing compounds in animal models of multiple sclerosis (MS) and in humans with MS. Richards hopes to shed light on the neurophysiologic cause of MS and determine why clinically silent MRI lesions are present in MS patients.729Richards TL
Edwin W Rubel (Retired)Professor Emeritus; Chair EmeritusOtolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Physiology and Biophysics; Virginia Merrill Bloedel Hearing Research CenterResearch InterestsAuditory Physiology; Developmental NeurobiologyOur research uses a wide variety of methods and numerous preparations to better understand development, plasticity, pathology and potential repair of the inner ear and auditory pathways of the brian. We investigate both the fundamental neurobiology of hearing and translational opportunities of the present and future that are directed toward preventing and curing hearing loss and balance disorders. One research program endeavors to understand cellular processes underlying the development of information processing in the auditory system. Anatomical, physiological, and acoustical methods are used to examine development of cellular mechanisms underlying acoustic signal processing by the inner ear. Parallel studies using both in vivo and in vitro preparations examine the factors that include growth of connections in the brain stem auditory pathways. A second research program addresses the problem of how experience influences brain development. Using manipulations of the amount and pattern of neuronal activity impinging on neurons in the brain stem auditory system of birds and mammals, we study the cellular nature of signals that influence the growth, remodeling, and maintenance of neuronal and glial elements. A third research program studies the cellular and molecular events involved in inner ear hair cell death due to environmental toxins or aging. In vivo and in vitro preparations of inner ear sensory epithelium are used to study death and cell survival pathways. A unique zebrafish mutagenesis and screening assay is used to discover genes and drugs that modulate inner ear hair cell responses to ototoxic drugs. The final research program stems from the discovery that birds can regenerate inner ear receptor cells (hair cells) following noise- or drug-induced hearing loss. Ongoing studies are aimed at determining the cellular and molecular events responsible for initiating hair cell regeneration and using hair cell regeneration to study plasticity of the avian brain.725Rubel EW

Bruce L. Tempel (Retired)ProfessorOtolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, PharmacologyResearch InterestsNeurogenetics in Auditory FunctionDr. Tempel's research uses genetics as a starting point to study hearing loss. The complex structure of the auditory system and its demand for fast and precise encoding is the likely reason why there are a number of different gene mutations cause hearing loss. The fact that auditory malfunctions are not lethal to the organism makes genetic analysis of hearing loss a particularly useful way to probe the biological basis of deafness. Detailed studies on each gene provide information on how hearing happens and how it might be ameliorated in people with hearing loss. Several mouse mutants being studied currently in the Tempel lab are involved in the transport of ions across excitable membranes. In deafwaddler mutant mice, even slight reductions in activity of the calcium ion pump PMCA2 cause high-frequency hearing loss in mice that is very similar to presbycusis in humans. In knockout mice that lack the genes Kv1.1 and Kv1.2, electrophysiology studies show that action potential transmission is altered in the auditory nuclei of these mice. Deafness in quivering mice is caused by mutations in a structural gene (spectrin beta 4) that anchors sodium channels at axon initial segments and at nodes of Ranvier. Tempel's group also uses quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping techniques to identify chromosomal regions that make certain strains of mice resistant to noise and DNA microarray techniques to identify genes that are differentially expressed between noise-resistant and non-resistant strains of mice. The aim is to identify genes that contribute to making these mouse strains very resistant to noise exposure. Homologous genes in humans may be targets for therapeutic intervention.29Tempel BL

Hearing aids and cochlear implants help compensate for disorders of the ear, but successful rehabilitation also depends on the integrity of the central auditory system. Therefore, to learn more about the representation of sound in the brain, members of the Brain and Behavior lab use EEG methods to explore how sound is processed in the auditory systems of people with and without hearing loss.732Tremblay KL

And if it's flying over Drag City and we don't know what's up with it, you can bet your buckskins it's from our resident bin divers at Galactic Zoo Disk and Yoga Records. Yeah - and whatever it is, it's coming down fast! Check it out - November 6th, we've scheduled your lazy ass for another journey through the past, when times were simpler and the music was therefore somehow more enjoyable? Don't ask why, just buy! Galactic Zoo Disk gives you a super-fun excuse to, with a collection of Brit folk rock, 70s style. Hm, well. This could mean a lot - Steeleye Span? Pentangle? ISB? Strawbs? Trees? Any one of the Fairport permutations? The late, lamented Bert Jansch, even? Nah, nah - think more, Holyground, Forest, Left-Handed Marriage types of sounds. Don't know 'em? Us neither! How about Tony Caro & John then? Bingo. You got it kid - Blue Clouds is in fact another tome from the infamous trio whose barely-released All On the First Day album has lit up so many smoky late-night rooms over the past forty years. This new vinyl-only release is a collection, mind you - not an assemblage of like-minded tunes from the same session, but a couple songs each from '72, '74, '75 and '76 as well as a pair of live cuts and even an outtake from All On the First Day, glory halleluiah! Blue Clouds charts them pilgrims' progress from the drawing-board days and shows that Tony Caro & John was on even after the first day! Not to be outdone, the folks at Yoga (whose CV includes freak-outs from Ted Lucas, Matthew Young, Dwarr, Collie Ryan, Robert Lester Young and many freaky others) have dropped a record from their own deep waters on us from circa 1977. Ever heard of Mad Music Inc.? Us neither - but we're thankful that Yoga brought it (them?) to our attention. Made anonymously and appearing without fanfare in shops around the Boston area, Mad Music is a marvel of fusion, from exotic to psychedelic to ambient with a little stop-off at disco (listen to this!). To this day, nobody is taking credit for this record, but it clearly comes from refined yet far-out sensibilities! Originally released with random inserts about sine-waves and tube stereos and shit, Mad Music is music for today - even thirty-some years later. If this is circus music, we're ready to jern up! You will be too, wance these esoteric missives from yesteryear hitcha. Sign up, before the sell out, ya!

Favourite Image Of 2012
Posted 21 December 2012 - 12:32 PM
These days forums aren't usually the place where most photos are shared. In fact, just as an example far more go up on the Wetpixel Facebook Group page, than we see here in the Photo and Gallery Showcase forum each day.
But I hope you'll want to share your images here (rather than post into the blackhole of Facebook), so it can join our other threads from down the years and can be enjoyed for years to come:

As always this thread is about sharing your favourite photo and your reasons for your choice and perhaps the backstory. People often like to comment about their diving in general over the year too.
It is not a competition and it does not necessarily your best photo. And it wouldn't be this thread if everyone didn't break the rules and post more than one.
So here is my contribution. Definitely not a shot that everyone likes. But it is one I like because it is something a little different. Taken with Nikon D700 and 16-35mm lens, Subal housing and Zen 230 port.
It is an abstract photo of jacks hunting over a coral reef, taken in Grand Cayman.

The site features cuts in the wall that channel surge up and down. The sea lions use them as launch tubes to gain access to their haulout on the rocks above, a technique not recommended for divers. These cuts also support the most dense aggregations of green anemones. When it's calm and clear they are an amazing place to dive though even on a calm day you can find yourself in whitewater at 40 feet. We were lucky enough to have several days this summer with good conditions. This is my buddy Vanessa playing with a young sea lion.
Second is a shot from the Solomon Islands. This is from Leru Cut. My buddy Dave and I spent most of a dive working on this shot. Have to say I was pretty happy with it.

I'm picking two as well, from the two sides of my diving life. First up is an ocean shot from my local dive site in temperate Melbourne. The whole area is stunning but the vis is often terrible and wide-angle photography is hard. On the rare occasions when the vis was good over the last few years I've been terrible at getting the right lighting to make the zooanthids yellow and the water blue - one or the other often comes out a sickly green. But with a run of good vis dives there recently I've finally perfected the settings to show off my favourite dive site in all its glory:
My second shot was taken in a cave we were exploring back in August. My buddy here is reeling into never-before-seen virgin cave. While I've taken lots of shots of buddies pretending to reel out in exploration, and I've reeled out in exploration myself, this was the first time I captured the actual event. The effort required to get a camera rig past the end of the known line was large, and while this isn't the greatest underwater cave photo that ever was, I'm really proud that I brought it home.

I have taken many pix of salmon spawning. For many of these shots it would not likely be possible for someone not rather knowledgeable about salmon or fish behavior to know what behavior was being shown without a caption. For example, I have many shots of females digging - either during preparation of the nest or redd as well as after spawning when the female covers the redd. These pix show a fish turned sideways. Eggs typically are hidden by milt and drop out of sight during spawning and so often I do not get any or just a few eggs in a pic.
In this shot a number of eggs are clearly seen. The female is turned just completeing a digging action following spawning, which has raised them into the water column, a bit atypical. The strobe light (from a Seacam Seaflash 250D) hit them just beyond the shadow cast by the male. I also like the play of light on the female's head. She has just tapped the surface, something they often do. Note the ripple. FYI, the egg in the foreground is probably from a different female. Eggs get displaced when females dig near a previously laid clutch. I suspect this is one. Camera: Canon EOS 1Ds MkII and 8-15mm zoom at 15mm. Seacam housing. Taken using remote control from about 10 meters away.

Both of my favorites are firsts for me. Using my new 105 macro lens that week - took this shot of the wire coral shrimp while hanging out at about 80 feet on the Pinnacle at Babylon to get this shot - I took quite a few shots to get some that were in focus. Espcially with the wire coral swaying in the current some and nothing to hold on to.

Despite being one of the first images from my D800, not the highest of resolutions...
... a weird optical set-up and a high ISO, thanks to having no strobes (my old gear almost certainly imploded at 500m or more off a Sudanese reef). Nonetheless, I find this image one of the most evocative of British wreck diving, my first passion as a cold-water diver, that I have ever taken.

WASHINGTON – After falling in overtime this past weekend, CUA flipped the script on Monday, downing Babson 15-14 in OT inside rainy Cardinal Stadium. The Cardinals led 13-7 with 19 minutes remaining in regulation, before the Beavers scored six straight goals to force the extra session.
After Babson scored the first goal of OT, CUA netted two straight, including the game-winner from freshman Mary Clare Regan.
CUA led 8-6 at halftime but a Babson goal early in the 2nd brought the Beavers to within one.
The Cardinals quickly regained control, ripping off five straight scores, including three from Regan, one from Lindsay Brophy and one from Erin Fowler to make it 13-7.
Babson refused to go away quietly though, pulling to within 13-8 on Taylor Kralovenec's goal with 15:14 remaining.
The Beavers then made it a four-goal affair with 11:35 on the clock when Misha Beatty scored. Beatty added another goal two minutes later, and CUA's lead was down to three.
Rachel Secrist then scored two straight for Babson, and the Beavers were within 13-12 with 2:05 to play.
Beatty's free position goal with 1:03 remaining tied the score at 13 and overtime began to look like a possibility.
Babson won the ensuing draw control, but quickly turned the ball over. CUA then took over and was awarded a free position shot with eight seconds on the clock. Katie Miller's attempt was saved however, and the teams headed for OT.
In the first three-minute session, Beatty gave the visitors a 14-13 lead when she scored on a free position shot with 2:14 on the clock. The score remained that way after the first three minutes.
40 seconds into the second three-minute session, Brophy scored to tie things at 14.
Soon after, the Beavers were awarded a free position shot, but Yasmeen Ajdari was there for the save to keep the score tied.
Babson got the ball back, but turned it over, giving CUA a chance to go in front. Regan saw to it that the Cards would not lose, ripping a free position attempt into the back of the net with 57 seconds on the clock to put the home team up by one.
CUA then won the ensuing draw control and held on for the win.
CUA finished with a 32-31 advantage in shots, and the Cardinals scooped up 23 ground balls on the day.
Ajdari earned the win in goal for CUA, after she played the overtime sessions, while starter Tricia Pehnke made 13 stops.
Babson scored the game's first goal, but CUA came back with two straight to take the lead.
A goal by Beatty tied things at two, but the Cardinals quickly answered, grabbing a 6-2 lead with four straight scores.
Three straight Beaver goals made it a one-goal game, but Caroline DiBartolomeo made the score 7-5 when she scored for CUA.
The teams then traded goals in the final five minutes to send the game into halftime with CUA leading 8-6.
CUA is back in action on Wednesday afternoon when the Cardinals play host to Trinity. Start time is set for 3:30 p.m.

A Rose on winter
Over the weekend there was quite a lot of interest in David Rose's article in the Mail, which addressed new figures from the Met Office which appeared to confirm a lack of any warming in the last 15 years.
The supposed 'consensus' on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years.
The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th Century.
Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997.
Rose was also warning of further cold on the way, based on an assessment of Solar Cycle 24 and 25.
The Met Office have now responded, with a blog post that has a whiff of Bob Ward about it: "includes numerous errors in the reporting of published peer reviewed science". The argument seems to be that if you take decadal averages it is still possible to obscure the plateau in the temperatures.
Or words to that effect.

How to Use the Context
Inquiry Question
Conflicts abroad soon caused the government to grow. First, the country needed a navy to protects its trading interests against the Barbary Pirates of North Africa. Then the War of 1812 required additional growth of the navy and the army. With more governmental activity and responsibility, the city of Washington began to attract important and ambitious men. Among the new residents was Stephen Decatur, hero of the war with the Barbary Pirates and the War of 1812.
When the new government had purchased land for the president's mansion in 1792, it planned that the land on either side of President's Park, later renamed Lafayette Park, would be used as lots for private homes. For many years, the land lay vacant. When Decatur decided to build his home near the White House, however, others followed his lead, and the landscape of Lafayette Park began to take shape.
The conspicuous site chosen by Decatur was consistent with his military prominence and his public esteem. To design the house, he hired Benjamin Henry Latrobe, America's most prominent architect. This first private residence on President's Park was planned and built to be a place for sparkling entertainment in a city that was hungry for social occasions, and where social contacts played a central role in obtaining power and influence.

There would be no repeat for North Carolina this year.
South Carolina scored a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns to pull away to a 23-19 victory in the 76th Annual Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas in front of 7,000 fans on Saturday at Gibbs Stadium.
With the win, the Sandlappers avenged last year�s 26-19 defeat. They lead the overall series 42-30-4.
South Carolina trailed 13-9 going into the fourth quarter before taking the lead for good on a 5-yard touchdown run by Mykal Moody (Conway) for a 16-13 advantage with 14:03 left in regulation.
North Carolina drove to the Sandlappers� 31 on the ensuing possession, but an attempt to tie came up short as Matthew Wogan (Porter Ridge) missed a 48-yard field goal try with 8:54 to go.
South Carolina wasted little time extending the lead, marching 80 yards on 11 plays, capped by a 14-yard touchdown pass from Michael Julian (Hilton Head) to Keinan Lewis (Belton-Honea Path) for a 23-13 advantage with 3:14 left.
Julian finished 9-of-23 for 147 yards with the touchdown to lead the Sandlappers. Malcolm Green (Conway) was named the offensive most valuable player for South Carolina. He finished with three catches for 98 yards, including a 45-yard grab that set up the team�s first touchdown.
South Carolina coach Ray Stackley (Stratford) said his team would not be denied.
�We came in here as a huge underdog,� he said. �(North Carolina) came in here with 21, 22 or 23 signees. We challenged our kids to play South Carolina football, which is to fly around and be physical and be quick. I think you saw that we�re pretty quick out there.�
Much hype surrounded North Carolina�s defense, which featured several Division I commitments. But it was South Carolina�s defense that stole the show. The Sandlappers forced six fumbles, recovering two, and were beneficiaries of three interceptions.
Ben Boulware (T.L. Hanna) was named South Carolina�s defensive most valuable player, leading the team with nine tackles, with 2.5 for loss and an interception. Devon Durant (Greenwood) also recorded nine tackles with a forced fumble and 47-yard fumble return.
As a whole, South Carolina recorded eight tackles for loss as opposed to North Carolina�s five.
�I thought our defense played extremely well the whole game,� Stackley said. �Our offense made some good adjustments at halftime and came back and scored some points.�
The day didn�t start off well for the Sandlappers, though. Tramel Terry (Goose Creek), the state�s Mr. Football, fumbled the opening kickoff and also injured his left knee. He did not return.
The Tarheels capitalized on the turnover to take a 6-0 lead after Noah Suber (T.C. Roberson) recovered his own fumble in the end zone for a touchdown.
South Carolina answered with 5:53 left in the first quarter as Romelo Doctor (Ashley Ridge) tied the game on a 2-yard touchdown run. The Sandlappers took a 9-6 lead into the half on a 21-yard field goal by Ben Hinson (Irmo).
North Carolina regained a 13-9 lead on a 45-yard touchdown run by Pharoh Cooper (Havelock) with 6:42 left in the third quarter. Cooper was named the Tarheels� offensive MVP, finishing with 11 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown and three catches for 39 yards. He led all players with 253 all-purpose yards.
�I feel like I had a great game,� the South Carolina commitment said. �All these players out here are Division I players, so I feel like I did great. I know what it�s going to be like going into college next year.�
Suber pulled North Carolina to within 23-19 with 36 seconds left in regulation. But Jaylen Miller (Gaffney) blocked the extra point attempt.
Suber finished 5-of-10 for 62 yards and added 10 carries for 40 yards with two touchdowns.
Miller recorded a tackle, along with the blocked extra point, and served as lead blocker on four straight plays that led to the Sandlappers� first touchdown.
�I can�t complain,� Miller said. �I just went hard and played.�
The Tarheels attempted and onside kick, but Darius Hammond (Strom Thurmond) recovered the attempt and South Carolina ran out the clock.
North Carolina coach Nelson Smith (Garner Magnet) said turnovers were the difference in the game.
�They played great defense,� he said. �You�ve got to give them credit and their coaching staff. They did a great job. Anytime you lose a hard-fought game like this, it�s whoever makes the most turnovers. We had our fair share, but the kids battled back and played hard.�
Quinton Patterson (Crest) was named North Carolina�s defensive MVP, recording six tackles with two for loss and a pass breakup.
Crest�s defensive lineman Dane Rogers and Shelby offensive lineman Eric McCauley also participated in the game.
A check in the amount of $1,357,620.12 was presented to the Shriner�s Hospital at halftime.

Course content.
What you need to know. Anatomy and physiology are demanding fields of study requiring the student to be disciplined and attentive to detail. There is much to learn and a very short period in which to learn it. Students who attend the lectures regularly, take adequate notes during lecture, and study regularly do well in these courses. While there are no formal prerequisites at this time, a baseline of knowledge, as might be learned in high school, is presumed: a working command of spoken and written English; the ability to perform basic arithmetic operations; an elementary knowledge of plane and solid geometry; basic biology, including structure of the cell, evolution, and development; basic chemistry, including atomic structure, elements, compounds, and energy; and some knowledge of physics, such as the laws of motion. Add to this list as a very strongly suggested skill set is the ability to use a computer, e-mail, and the Internet productively. Not only will this allow you to use the lecture-note pages to the fullest, but it will also permit easy and rapid communication between you and your instructor, you and your classmates, you and your University.
This may look like a formidable list, but do not be put off by it; there is nothing in the list that should not be expected of any student taking a college biology course, let alone anatomy and physiology. Except for the language issue, any deficit can be overcome by additional reading and study by the student at the appropriate time.
Studying. I am not an expert in designing effective study habits, but I will offer a few suggestions:
1. Be interested in the material. I believe that even if every other suggestion is ignored, when a student is truly interested in a subject, he or she takes the time to explore it in greater detail. The more one investigates something, the more expert one becomes.
2. Study often. Try not to wait until the night before a midterm or final to cram. If one studies a little bit after each class session, not only does the material seem more familiar, but there is the chance for additional consolidation of the material into memory. Some authorities recommend at least two hours of study for each hour of lecture material.
3. Study what is important. Always study the material presented in lecture and any assigned reading. I would be remiss if I did not emphasize how important it is to go to class. Additional reading of the textbook or linked web pages should not be ignored, but if pressed for study time, go with learning the material that the test is known to cover.
4. Generate questions and answers. And do not make them trivially simple. Test them out on other students in the class. Solve problems. Use the study/quiz questions in your textbook.
5. Study as a group. If the group members test one another, make sure that at least one person in the group knows the correct answer to the test question.
6. Seek extra help. As with studying, do not wait until the last minute. For one thing, you will have lost the context of the problem. If you do not understand something, ask the instructor after class, or ask your laboratory teaching assistant, or e-mail the instructor.
7. Use Blackboard™. To help you with this course, a Blackboard™ site has been set up. That site has useful items and links that can improve your studying and grade in this course. Here are some of the components of Blackboard™:
Challenges. Any challenge to a question on an exam or to a grade earned on an exam must be submitted in writing by the class following the posting or review of the answers or grades for that exam.
Missed exams. No makeup examination will be given except for one missed due to extraordinary circumstances. In those cases of genuine emergency, prior notice or subsequent documentation must be provided in order for a makeup to be allowed. Failure to do so will result in a grade of zero being posted for that exam. Vide supra for information on how to contact me.
Athletics. Academics has priority over sports. If there is a conflict between sports travel and course work that must be completed, it is the responsibility of the student to ensure that arrangements have been made with the instructor to clear any missing assignments or examinations prior to the final exam in the course.
Extra credit projects. No. Why not?
Classroom behavior.
Attendance. While attendance is not taken on a weekly basis in a large lecture course such an Anatomy & Physiology, and there is no attendance component in the determination of the grade, failure of the student to attend lecture on a regular basis could adversely affect a student's performance on the tests, not to mention that the student has not been able to benefit from the presentation of the material.
Deportment. Proper class deportment is expected. Questions that seek to clarify or expand the lecture material are always welcome. Disruptive classroom behavior will not be tolerated, and frivolous questions that are totally off-topic, persistent argumentative questions, or questions that only serve as self-aggrandizement fall within the purview of such behavior. Students engaged in such unsociable activity will be asked to leave. If the offender or offenders cannot be identified, then the lecture will be terminated, but the class will be responsible for whatever material would have been covered. Impolite behavior, such as wearing a baseball cap indoors, is merely gauche, not disruptive, and so, cannot be barred.
Portable communication devices. The use of beepers or cellular phones during class can be quite disruptive to the lecture environment. Therefore, all beepers and cellular phones must be turned off (or placed in vibrate mode) prior to entering the lecture room. Exceptions to this policy must be cleared with the instructor. Students who engage in text-messaging during class are not only being rude to the instructor and their fellow students, but are also depriving themselves of the class content. Violation of this directive will be considered equivalent to disruptive classroom behavior.
Many circumstances may require a modification of the course content or schedule of events (such as a school closure on a scheduled examination date); the instructor reserves the right to make such modifications with appropriate notification. If such a change is necessary, a notice will be posted via Blackboard™ to call the student's attention to it.
Your overall course averages will be determined by the following:
The assignment of letter grades to one's overall course average will be determined by the following rule:
Grades on a particular examination should always be viewed in a comparative light, and if a letter grade has been attached to the exam, that letter grade indicates the position of the earned score on that exam within the ABCDF–grading system.
For further information on the CPS policy on grading, please see the Student Handbook, pages 30–31.
Academic Assistance.
The College of Professional Studies has academic and student support services; questions not answered by the web page can addressed by communicating with an Academic & Student Support Specialist at 617.373.2400, or toll free 877.668.7727, or email@example.com. If you have special needs because of learning disabilities or other kinds of disabilities, please feel free to discuss these with me so that the proper accommodations can be arranged, or contact the Disability Resource Center. For more details on the services Northeastern University offers you, please see the CPS resources and services web page.
|Conformity with the Code of Student Conduct and sanction information can be found on the CPS general regulations web page.
Academic honesty.
The student is encouraged to study with other students, to share notes and ideas. All examinations, laboratory exercises, and other assignments, must be completed by the student alone. Examinations and quizzes administered in this class during previous quarters are not available for review by the student, and any student who reviews such will be considered to have violated the policies on academic honesty. Neither this nor any other form of academic dishonesty will be tolerated. In the frame below is Northeastern's Academic Honesty and Integrity Policy:

A wrong-way motorist accused of driving under the influence of meth and hitting and injuring multiple cyclists on Fiesta Island in San Diego was found with a baggie of meth hidden in her vagina, a deputy district attorney said Friday.
Theresa L. Owens, looking disheveled and distraught, pleaded not guilty at her arraignment on a charge of felony DUI with injury and possession of a controlled substance.
"Tell them I'm so sorry," she whispered to her attorney once the judge ordered her bail and set her next court hearing.
Bail was set at $300,000, though Deputy District Attorney Jessica Coto had requested $500,000 bail because of the seriousness of the injuries and the number of people hurt in the crash. Owens' attorney had requested $200,000 bail, indicating that was the standard amount for those charges.
San Diego police said Owens was driving her vehicle on Fiesta Island Road around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday when her car struck about 10 cyclists in a larger group finishing up a training ride.
Six people went to the hospital with injuries, including Juan Carlos Vinolo, who was paralyzed and remains in critical condition.
New details emerged at the hearing.
Coto said Owens was acting "erratically" after the crash and was screaming, running around and rambling. When she was checked out at the hospital, a nurse found a bag of meth hidden in her vagina, leading to the possession charge, Coto said.
Several of the cyclists attended Friday's arraignment, including Logan Bass, who was clipped by the front end of the car and suffered a contusion to his ribs, road rash on his elbow and a cut on his foot.
"I'm definitely lucky just looking at Juan. That was me for sure if I didn't react," he said.
Bass said he normally feels safe on Fiesta Island when he takes part in the weekly Tuesday night cycling runs with the San Diego Bicycling Club.
"This just happened to be an unfortunate night," he said.
If convicted, Owens could face a maximum punishment 12 years and eight months in prison.

Yes, Aaron Hernandez officially now has enough legal issues to keep a midsize firm busy on a full-time basis.
Via multiple reports, the former Patriots tight end has been indicted on charges of assault, battery, and threats to do bodily harm. The indictment results from a February fight with an inmate in the Bristol County Jail. Hernandez got 30 days in isolation as a result of the incident.
The indictment means that a grand jury has concluded based on a one-sided presentation of evidence from prosecutors that enough evidence of guilt exists to support a conviction. Regardless of the eventual outcome, it's the least of Hernandez's problems, given that he's current behind bars awaiting trial on charges that he murdered Odin Lloyd last June.
Hernandez also faces a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Lloyd's estate, a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the estates of two men who were shot and killed in July 2012, a possible prosecution for the murder of those two men, and a lawsuit from a Florida man who claims Hernandez shot the man in the face in February 2013.
