"Listening to Scripture in an Elevator"
What a great idea! I wanted to listen to the complete old testament especially and this seemed an approachable way to do. I don't share the views of the commentator and there is so much here that is speaking to s specific people in a specific time... but everyone should read The Bible at least once. What really makes this recording annoying is the trashy Muzak in in the background and the Echo Chamber for the voice of God. Certainly there are great actors that could convey authority without this trite device.
"If You Are a Video Gamer, Fine. Otherwise."
I read this because I was told I must. Best thing since JK Rowling... I wish! Every book is written with author's intent and received with readers perspective. Since this was presented to me as a juvenile/young adult fiction I must judge its value as such from a retired educator's perspective.
The video game feel made me uneasy but I hoped that some moral resolution would justify this as a device to reach young readers. Unfortunately, although the situation into which these young people were put, while clearly unconscionable was simply accept and never resolved. This is the type of fiction that is fine for s adult with a clearly established moral code. For a teenager without that, and I know way to many, it was disturbing. It's not fantastical vampires and werewolves, it's children wantonly killing other children and even the heroines actions are never really resolved. It felt like watching South Park with boys and young men, cheering on a laughing at racism, homophobia and gore that never saw the irony that makes it funny.
I understand the sequels resolve some of these issues, but I didn't care enough to return to find out.
"Can't Wait for #5"
I feel like these guys are family and I just want to shake 'em and say.... "Get it together!" But their's is a very believable relationship of two men who come from worlds where homophobic standards are imposed. I do have to say that despite that, the end of this one is just out of left field. We need a resolution!
"Dreamspinner Readers are So Inconsistent!"
This reader is awful. Where's the fire? He obviously can't wait to get out of the studio and speeds through the story a record pace. There is a way on my player to set the story to double time if I'm in a hurry... but this guy takes all emotion out of the story.
"Best King I have Read"
What a storyteller. And he has found a great vehicle in this story. "Can't put it down" story and great narration. My only issue is that the narrator is a bit over the top in his stereotypical portrayal of a some characters. It's a fine line to walk. He does help to keep characters distinct and is obviously a talented performer.
"Good High School Gay Story"
I am a mature gay man and not a pedophile. I listen to this kind of fiction with an ear toward what I wish was available when I was growing up gay. I have mixed feeling about the graphic sexual conduct. A straight version of this story, while including the sex would hardly be as explicit, making it more acceptable to parents to recommend it as a coming of age story that would speak to the universality love. But it is what it is, and I wish it were available 40 years ago.
"A Mixed Bag"
This compilation includes a little something for everyone. That's its strength and its weakness. One of the drawbacks to audible compilations is that you can't flip through the stories to see if they balance in favor of your taste. Overall I am not disappointed that I bought this selection.
"Gothic Horror Never Sounded So Good"
This was well worth it. Alan Cumming is a favorite and so versatile. Tim Curry never disappoints. The only thing missing from Audible's production is a cast list. I recognized some narrators that I had listen to before, but think they all deserve credit for the job well done. Lucy's naivety, and Minna steadfast strength for instance deserve crediting. I was disappointed when this was not a part of the concluding credits.
If other reviewers could not be swept up in the production, perhaps it is due to a distaste for the genre. I like a good vampire tale as much as the next person, but this sheds so much light on how far we have come from the mother of all tales, where more is implied than exposed.
"Just Bizarre"
This is a boring story. No matter what strange wrapping the author uses it is still just boring. Perhaps intended to send the message that there is no conflict between same-sex love and religion, this book only cheapens a laudable goal.
I have spent a great deal of my life spreading the Good Word that God loves us and wants us tove each other. This tale, if it makes it into the hands of those who disagree.will only elicit, "See! This is where the slippery slope leads!"
Ouch. Offensive.
"Top Notch Listen"
Even if the mystery were not riveting, which it is, Burke's skills of engaging the listener in and environment sent me to research more about the setting. I thought I knew what a Bayou was but I really do and have a much better sense of Louisiana geography in general.
The characters are well developed, the narrator brought them to life. Thoroughly enjoyable. I am off to visit Dave and Clete again soon.

Problems and Purpose
In 2002, the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) saw the completion of the construction of the Simhadri Thermal Power Project (STPP), a coal-fired power plant, in the Vizag District of India. The construction of the STPP, while having promised potential benefits and opportunities for local residents, had instead served to compromise their existing economic wellbeing. This case presents the latter's response to their predicament through a public hearing with the participation of relevant actors, including civil society actors.
"Kerala is one of India's 28 states, situated in the south-western tip of the country." (Justino 3) Kerala was created on November 1, 1956, with the passing of the States Reorganization Act bringing together the areas where Malayalam is the dominant language. Kerala has a higher Human Development Index than all other states in India (UNDP HDI Trends (1981-2001) for selected Major Indian States).

OBR downgrades oil revenue forecast
Mar 20 2013
The amount of tax expected from North Sea oil and gas has been reduced by a UK economic forecaster.
Revenue will drop from £34 billion to £33 billion between 2012-13 and 2017-18, according to the independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
The change appears to leave an £8.5 billion gap between the OBR's revised figure and the Scottish Government's least optimistic estimate.
The best-case scenario, published in an analysis paper by the Scottish Government last week, predicted oil tax revenue could be as high as £11.8 billion by 2017-18, enough to fund a third of the administration's current annual spend.
It suggests the industry could generate as much as £57 billion in tax revenue over the six years to that point.
Story continues
Michael Moore, the Scottish Secretary in the UK Government, said: "There is a gulf between those independent OBR figures and the hugely optimistic numbers published by the Scottish Government last week.
"Their most optimistic scenario puts revenues in 2017-18 at three times the independent OBR figure, despite the Scottish Government's own expert group warning them to be cautious and John Swinney's own leaked Cabinet paper saying that the revenues are volatile and declining.
"The contrast here is between independent OBR figures and an exercise in wishful thinking, with no working attached, from the Scottish Government. This debate must be based on fact, not wishful thinking."
But Finance Secretary John Swinney said the OBR predictions are deficient in their assumptions of the number of barrels being extracted and in the cost per barrel.
Both factors are being underestimated when compared with other models, including the industry and the UK Government's Department for Energy and Climate Change, he said.

A charter bus carrying women's lacrosse players and coaches from Seton Hill University crashed about 9 a.m. Saturday on the Turnpike. The bus went off the road and hit a guardrail and then a tree.
Click here to watch Julie Gargotta's full report.
Turnpike officials said the bus driver, 61-year-old Anthony Guaetta, died and several others were injured.
Officials said Kristina Quigley, 30, died in the hospital. They said Quigley was approximately six months pregnant and her unborn child did not survive.
According to the Seton Hill website, Quigley was the head coach for the women's lacrosse team.
The crash happened at mile marker 227 on the Turnpike in Middlesex Township, Cumberland County.
Guaetta and Quigley both died of multiple traumatic blunt force injuries, according to the Cumberland County coroner.
On Monday, state police said the crash investigation is expected to take weeks because troopers will interview players and review bus records. The wait for the results of toxicology tests will also add to the length of the investigation.
The victims were remembered during a mass Sunday night on Seton Hill's campus in western Pennsylvania. Hundreds of students, friends and community members gathered to pray and cry.

The "tit for tat" relationship between parts of the fish farming industry and the wild fisheries sector has been condemned by MSPs.
Members of Holyrood's Rural Affairs Committee said the "adversarial" dealings between the two parts of the industry had hindered their scrutiny of new legislation. And they said improving the relationship between the two sectors was "perhaps of equal significance for Scotland in the long-term" as changing the law.
The Scottish Government has put forward a Bill which aims to reform the management of the fish farming and wild fisheries sectors.
Committee convener Rob Gibson said that both parts of the industry were of "critical importance to Scotland" because of their contribution to both the environment and the economy. But he added: "These sectors are clearly at loggerheads over a number of issues which has hindered our scrutiny of this Bill."
Members of the committee backed the general principles of the Aquaculture and Fisheries (Scotland) Bill, but also argued it needed to be "more robust".
During their scrutiny of the legislation, MSPs visited salmon rivers, wild fisheries hatcheries, fish farms and processing plants to build up a detailed understanding of the industry. However, their report revealed that their work was "hindered by some of the more adversarial, tit-for-tat engagement of sections of both the aquaculture and wild fisheries sectors".
The committee said this led to them receiving "an excessive number of communications" from both sides "making claims and counter-claims". The MSPs added: "This made it difficult at times for the Committee to assess the best way forward."
And they said: "As important as this legislation is, perhaps of equal significance for Scotland in the long-term is improving the current relationship between the wild and farmed fishing sectors, with a view to establishing closer, productive, co-operative working relationships for the overall benefit of the people of Scotland and the environment."
Mr Gibson said: "Whilst the Committee does welcome this legislation, it is clear that it will need to be amended to ensure it is fully fit for purpose. Our Committee very much considers this the first step in ensuring the long-term sustainability of the aquaculture industry and the wild fisheries sector."
A Scottish Government spokesman said: "We welcome the Committee's report and its recommendation that the Bill should be allowed to pass to Stage 2. We are considering the detail of the Committee's recommendations as we move forward."

The Internet Archive is a non-profit digital library with the stated mission of "universal access to all knowledge."[2][3] It provides permanent storage of and free public access to collections of digitized materials, including websites, music, moving images, and nearly three million public-domain books. As of October 2012, its collection topped 10 petabytes.[4][5] In addition to its archiving function, the Archive is an activist organization, advocating for a free and open Internet.
The Internet Archive allows the public to upload and download digital material to its data cluster, but the bulk of its data is collected automatically by its web crawlers, which work to preserve as much of the public web as possible. Its web archive, The Wayback Machine, contains over 150+ billion web captures.[6][7] The Archive also oversees one of the world's largest book digitization projects.
Founded by Brewster Kahle in 1996, the Archive is a 501(c)(3) non-profit operating in the United States. It has an annual budget of $10 million, derived from a variety of sources: revenue from its Web crawling services, various partnerships, grants, donations, and the Kahle-Austin Foundation.[8] Its headquarters are in San Francisco, California, where about 30 of its 200 employees work. Most of its staff work in its book-scanning centers. The Archive has data centers in San Francisco, Redwood City, and Richmond, all in California. Its collection is mirrored for stability and endurance at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt.[9]
The Archive is a member of the International Internet Preservation Consortium.[10] This non-profit digital library was officially designated as a library by the State of California in 2007.[11]
Contents |
History [edit]
Kahle founded the Archive in 1996 at the same time that he began the for-profit web crawling company Alexa Internet. In 1996, The Internet Archive had begun to archive and preserve the World Wide Web. The archived content wasn't available until 2001, when it developed the Wayback Machine. In late 1999, the Archive expanded its collections beyond the Web archive, beginning with the Prelinger Archives. Now the Internet Archive includes texts, audio, moving images, and software. It hosts a number of other projects: the NASA Images Archive, the contract crawling service Archive-It, and the wiki-editable library catalog and book information site Open Library. Recently, the Archive has begun working to provide specialized services relating to the information access needs of the print-disabled; publicly accessible books were made available in a protected Digital Accessible Information System (DAISY) format.[12]
According to its website:
- Most societies place importance on preserving artifacts of their culture and heritage. Without such artifacts, civilization has no memory and no mechanism to learn from its successes and failures. Our culture now produces more and more artifacts in digital form. The Archive's mission is to help preserve those artifacts and create an Internet library for researchers, historians, and scholars.
In August 2012, the Archive announced[13] that it has added BitTorrent to its file download options for over 1.3 million existing files, and all newly uploaded files.[14][15] This method is the fastest means of downloading media from the Archive, as files are served from two Archive datacenters, in addition to other torrent clients which have downloaded and continue to serve the files.[14][16]
Wayback Machine [edit]
The Internet Archive has capitalized on the popular use of the term "WABAC Machine" from a segment of the old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon, and uses the name "Wayback Machine" for its service that allows archives of the World Wide Web to be searched and accessed.[17] This service allows users to view archived web pages. The Wayback Machine was created as a joint effort between Alexa Internet and the Internet Archive when a three dimensional index was built to allow for the browsing of archived web content.[18] Millions of websites and their associated data (images, source code, documents, etc.) are saved in a gigantic database. The service can be used to see what previous versions of websites used to look like, to grab original source code from websites that may no longer be directly available, or to visit websites that no longer even exist. The Internet Archive Terms of Use specify that users of the Wayback Machine are not to download data from the collection. Not all websites are available because many website owners choose to exclude their sites. As with all sites based on data from web crawlers, the Internet Archive misses large areas of the web for a variety of other reasons. International biases have also been found in its coverage, although this does not seem to be the result of a deliberate policy.[19]
Machine's archives:
The use of the term "Wayback Machine" in the context of the Internet Archive has become so common that "Wayback Machine" and "Internet Archive" are almost synonymous. This usage occurs in popular culture, e.g., in the television show Law and Order: Criminal Intent ("Legacy", first run Aug. 3, 2008), an extra playing a computer tech uses the "Wayback Machine" to find an archive of a student's Facebook style website. Snapshots usually take at least 6–18 months to be added.
Open Library [edit]
The Open Library is another project of the Internet Archive. The site seeks to include a web page database for every book ever published, a sort of open source version of WorldCat. It holds 23 million catalog records of books, in addition to the full texts of about 1,600,000 public domain books, which are fully readable and downloadable.[20][21] Open Library is a free/open source software project, with its source code freely available on the Open Library site.
Archive-It [edit]
Created in early 2006, Archive-It[22] is a web archiving subscription service that allows institutions and individuals to build and preserve collections of digital content and create digital archives. Archive-It allows the user the option to customize their capture or exclusion of web content they want to preserve for cultural heritage reasons. Through a web application, Archive-It partners can harvest, catalog, manage, browse, search and view their archived collections. In terms of accessibility, the archived websites are full text searchable within seven days of capture.[23] Content collected through Archive-It is captured and stored as a WARC file. A primary and back-up copy is stored at the Internet Archive data centers. A copy of the WARC file can be given to subscribing partner institutions for geo-redundant preservation and storage purposes to their best practice standards.[24] The data captured through Archive-It is periodically indexed into the Internet Archive's general archive.
As of December 2012, Archive-It had over 225 partner institutions in 45 U.S. States and 15 countries that have captured over 4.9 billion URLs for over 1974 public collections. Archive-It partners are universities and college libraries, state archives, federal institutions, museums, law libraries and cultural organizations, including the Electronic Literature Organization, North Carolina State Archives and Library, Stanford University, Columbia University, American University in Cairo, Georgetown Law Library and many others.
nasaimages.org [edit]
NASA Images was created through a Space Act Agreement between the Internet Archive and NASA to bring public access to NASA's image, video, and audio collections in a single, searchable resource. The NASA Images team works closely with all of the NASA centers to keep adding to the ever-growing collection at NASA Images[25] The site launched in July 2008 and now has more than 100,000 items online.
Media collections [edit]
In addition to web archives, the Internet Archive maintains extensive collections of digital media that are attested by the uploader to be in the public domain in the United States or licensed under a license that allows redistribution, such as Creative Commons licenses. Media are organized into collections by media type (moving images, audio, text, etc.), and into sub-collections by various criteria. Each of the main collections includes an "Open Source" sub-collection where general contributions by the public are stored.
Moving image collection [edit]
The Internet Archive holds a collection of approximately 3,863 feature films.[26] Aside from feature films, the Internet Archive's Moving Image collection includes: newsreels; classic cartoons; pro- and anti-war propaganda; Skip Elsheimer's "A.V. Geeks" collection; and ephemeral material from Prelinger Archives, such as advertising, educational and industrial films and amateur and home movie collections.
Subcategories of this collection include:
IA's Brick Films collection contains stop-motion animation filmed with Lego bricks, some of which are "remakes" of feature films. The Election 2004 collection is a non-partisan public resource for sharing video materials related to the 2004 United States Presidential Election. The Independent News collection includes sub-collections such as the Internet Archive's World At War competition from 2001, in which contestants created short films demonstrating "why access to history matters". Among their most-downloaded video files are eyewitness recordings of the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. The September 11th Television Archive contains archival footage from the world's major television networks of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 as they unfolded on live television.
Some of the films available on the Internet Archive are:[27]
- The 39 Steps (1935)
- Battleship Potemkin

Machinima archive
One of the sub collections of the Internet Archive's Video Archive is the Machinima Archive. This small section hosts many Machinima videos (see Machinima: Virtual Filmmaking). Machinima is a digital artform in which computer games, game engines or software engine are used in a sandbox mode like mode to create motion pictures, recreate plays or even publish presentations/keynotes. The archive collects a range of Machinima films from internet publishers such as Rooster Teeth and Machinima.com as well as independent producers. The sub collection is a collaborative effort between the Internet Archive, the How They Got Game research project at Stanford University, the Academcy of Machinima Arts and Sciences and Machinima.com.[28]
TV News Search & Borrow [edit]
In September 2012, the Internet Archive launched the TV News Search & Borrow[29] service for searching U.S. national news programs. The service is built on closed captioning transcripts and allows user to search and stream 30-second video clips. Upon launch, the service contained "350,000 news programs collected over 3 years from national U.S. networks and stations in San Francisco and Washington D.C."[30] According to Kahle, the service was inspired by the Vanderbilt Television News Archive, a similar library of televised network news programs.[31] In contrast to Vanderbilt, which limits access to streaming video to individuals associated with subscribing colleges and universities, the TV News Search & Borrow allows open access to its streaming video clips.
Audio collection [edit]
The Audio Archive includes music, audio books, news broadcasts, old time radio shows and a wide variety of other audio files. There are over 200,000 free digital recordings in the collection. The subcollections include audio books and poetry, podcasts, non-English audio and many others.[32]
The Live Music Archive sub-collection includes over 100,000 concert recordings from independent artists, as well as more established artists and musical ensembles with permissive rules about recording their concerts such as the Grateful Dead, and more recently, The Smashing Pumpkins. Also, Jordan Zevon has allowed Internet Archive to host a definitive collection of his father Warren Zevon concert recordings. The catalog ranges from 1976-2001 and contains 1,137 free songs.[33]
Netlabels [edit]
The Archive has a collection of freely distributable music that is downloadable and streamable via its Netlabels service. The music in this collection generally have Creative Commons-license catalogs of virtual record labels.[34][35]
Text collection [edit]
The Internet Archive Text Archive collection includes digitized books and special collections from various libraries and cultural heritage institutions from around the world. The Internet Archive operates twenty-three scanning centers in five countries, digitizing about 1,000 books a day, financially supported by libraries and foundations.[36] As of November 2008[update], when there were about 1 million texts, the entire collection was over 0.5 petabytes, which includes raw camera images, cropped and skewed images, PDFs, and raw OCR data.[37]
Between about 2006 and 2008 Microsoft Corporation had a special relationship with Internet Archive texts through its Live Search Books project, scanning over 300,000 books which were contributed to the collection, as well as financial support and scanning equipment. On May 23, 2008, Microsoft announced it would be ending the Live Book Search project and no longer scanning books.[38] Microsoft made its scanned books available without contractual restriction and donated its scanning equipment to its former partners.[38]
Around October 2007 Archive users began uploading public domain books from Google Book Search.[39] As of May 2011 there were over 900,000 Google-digitized books in the Archive's collection, out of a total of 2.8 million books. The books are identical to the copies found on Google, except without the Google watermarks, and are available for unrestricted use and download.[40]
Physical media [edit]
Voicing a strong reaction to the idea of books simply being thrown away, and inspired by the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, Kahle now envisions collecting one copy of every book ever published. "We're not going to get there, but that's our goal," he said. Alongside the books, Kahle plans to store the Internet Archive's old servers, which were replaced in 2010.[41]
Controversies and legal disputes [edit]
Omni magazine [edit]
In a story at his Web site headed "What the heck is going on at Internet Archive?", author Steven Saylor noted, "Sometime in 2012, the entire run of Omni magazine was uploaded (and made downloadable) at Internet Archive.... Since those old issues must contain hundreds of works still under copyright by numerous contributors, how is this legal?"[42] At least one contributor to the magazine, author Steve Perry, has publicly complained that he never gave permission for his work to be uploaded ("they didn't say a word in my direction"),[43] and it has been noted that all issues containing the work of Harlan Ellison have apparently been taken down.[44]
Scientology [edit]
In late 2002, the Internet Archive removed various sites critical of Scientology from the Wayback Machine.[45] The error message stated that this was in response to a "request by the site owner."[46] It was later clarified that lawyers from the Church of Scientology had demanded the removal and that the actual site owners did not want their material removed.[47]
Healthcare Advocates, Inc. [edit]
In 2003, Harding Earley Follmer & Frailey defended a client from a trademark dispute using the Archive's Wayback Machine. The lawyers were able to show that the plaintiff's claims were invalid based on the content of their web site from several years prior. The plaintiff, Healthcare Advocates, then amended their complaint to include the Internet Archive, accusing the organization of copyright infringement as well as violations of the DMCA and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Healthcare Advocates claimed that, since they had installed a robots.txt file on their website, even if after the initial lawsuit was filed, the Archive should have removed all previous copies of the plaintiff website from the Wayback Machine.[48] The lawsuit was settled out of court.[49]
Robots.txt is used as part of the Robots Exclusion Standard, a voluntary protocol the Internet Archive respects that disallows bots from indexing certain pages delineated by the creator as off-limits. As a result, the Internet Archive has rendered unavailable a number of websites that are now inaccessible through the Wayback Machine. Currently, the Internet Archive applies robots.txt rules retroactively; if a site blocks the Internet Archive, like Healthcare Advocates, any previously archived pages from the domain are also rendered unavailable. In cases of blocked sites, only the robots.txt file is archived.
However, the Internet Archive also states, "Sometimes a web site owner will contact us directly and ask us to stop crawling or archiving a site. We comply with these requests."[50] In addition, the website says: "The Internet Archive is not interested in preserving or offering access to Web sites or other Internet documents of persons who do not want their materials in the collection."[51]
Suzanne Shell [edit]
On December 12, 2005, activist Suzanne Shell demanded Internet Archive pay her US$100,000 for archiving her website profane-justice.org between 1999 and 2004.[52] Internet Archive filed a declaratory judgment action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on January 20, 2006, seeking a judicial determination that Internet Archive did not violate Shell's copyright. Shell responded and brought a countersuit against Internet Archive for archiving her site, which she alleges is in violation of her terms of service.[53] On February 13, 2007, a judge for the United States District Court for the District of Colorado dismissed all counterclaims except breach of contract.[52] The Internet Archive did not move to dismiss copyright infringement claims Shell asserted arising out of its copying activities, which will also go forward.[54]
On April 25, 2007, Internet Archive and Suzanne Shell jointly announced the settlement of their lawsuit. The Internet Archive said, "Internet Archive has no interest in including materials in the Wayback Machine of persons who do not wish to have their Web content archived. We recognize that Ms. Shell has a valid and enforceable copyright in her Web site and we regret that the inclusion of her Web site in the Wayback Machine resulted in this litigation. We are happy to have this case behind us." Shell said, "I respect the historical value of Internet Archive's goal. I never intended to interfere with that goal nor cause it any harm."[55]
Grateful Dead [edit]
In November 2005, free downloads of Grateful Dead concerts were removed from the site. John Perry Barlow identified Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann as the instigators of the change, according to a New York Times article.[56] Phil Lesh commented on the change in a November 30, 2005, posting to his personal website:
- It was brought to my attention that all of the Grateful Dead shows were taken down from Archive.org right before Thanksgiving. I was not part of this decision making process and was not notified that the shows were to be pulled. I do feel that the music is the Grateful Dead's legacy and I hope that one way or another all of it is available for those who want it.[57]
A November 30 forum post from Brewster Kahle summarized what appeared to be the compromise reached among the band members. Audience recordings could be downloaded or streamed, but soundboard recordings were to be available for streaming only. Concerts have since been re-added.[58]
National Security Letter [edit]
On May 8, 2008, it was revealed that the Internet Archive successfully challenged an FBI National Security Letter asking for logs on an undisclosed user.[59][60]
Uncensored hosting [edit]
On August 17, 2011, Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI.org) published "Al-Qaeda, Jihadis Infest the San Francisco, California-Based 'Internet Archive' Library"[61] which detailed how members can post anonymously and enjoy free uncensored hosting.
Opposition to Google Books settlement [edit]
The Internet Archive is a member of the Open Book Alliance, which has been among the most outspoken critics of the Google Book Settlement. The Archive advocates an alternative digital library project.[62]
Opposition to S.O.P.A. and P.I.P.A. [edit]
The Internet Archive blacked out its website for twelve hours on 18 January 2012 in protest of the Stop Online Piracy Act and the PROTECT IP Act, two pieces of pending legislation in the United States Congress that they claim will "negatively affect the ecosystem of web publishing that led to the emergence of the Internet Archive." This occurred in conjunction with the English Wikipedia blackout, as well as numerous other protests across the internet.[63]

All B.S. students are required to take a core consisting of General Biology I and General Biology II, Cell Biology, Ecology, Genetics, and one course in Physiology.
In addition to the core requirements each B.S. student will select one of the four concentrations in consultation with the department. The students will be assigned an appropriate faculty adviser within the department. Each student will confer with his/her adviser in planning the student's program of study appropriate to the concentration that the student has selected.
This concentration includes course work in ecology and organismal biology, including such topics as wetlands biology, freshwater ecology, and conservation biology. This program encourages students to use their electives to develop a diversified background of skills in earth science, geography and chemistry to complement their environmental interest and open future opportunities for internships and careers. Cooperative programs with community environmental monitoring organizations such as the Taunton River Watershed Alliance allow students to gain practical experience while investigating actual environmental problems.
This concentration features course work in Human Anatomy and Physiology, Histology, Immunology, Microbiology, Virology and Embryology. Internship opportunities are available in local hospitals and research laboratories.
This concentration allows students to focus their study of biological mechanisms at the cellular and molecular level. Courses available include: Biochemistry, Electron Microscopy and Neurobiology. This concentration is designed for students who may want to pursue graduate studies in molecular or cellular biology and for those who seek a career in cell/molecular biology or biotechnology research.
This concentration allows for a less specialized program of study and is designed for students needing a broader background in biology. This program can be tailored to the student with individualized interests or can be designed to provide a broad background in biology. The general biology concentration is recommended for students considering teaching as a career.
Core Courses
Required Courses
Electives (12 credits from the following list):
Biology majors concentrating in Ecological Biology should strive to qualify for a 3 credit internship or research experience as part of their concentration electives. This could range from volunteer experience through the Student Conservation Association, paid internships with regulatory agencies such as the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection or the National Park Service, or research with faculty at Bridgewater State University through Undergraduate Biological Research (BIOL 497 or BIOL 396).
Students interested in developing a field experience through Internship in Biology (BIOL 498) must meet the following criteria to be considered:
Internship applications will be screened by the department and sent to the
dean for approval. The approved form must be received by the Registrar's Office
in order to enroll for internship credits. No more than three (3) credits of
BIOL 498 can be used toward concentration electives.
Required Courses
Required Courses
Biomedical and Cell/Molecular Electives
Required Courses (Standard)
Required Courses (Secondary Education Minors)
Students may minor either in Secondary (High School, grades 9-12) or Middle School (grades 5-9) Education. Successful completion of either of these programs will lead to Massachusetts Provisional with Advanced Standing Teacher Certification. Please refer to the Department of Secondary Education and Professional Programs for specific teacher certification and program requirements. Students who wish to obtain a minor in Secondary Education with a view toward certification in Biology must take the General Concentration and should take the following as part of their biology electives:
Students with a minor in education must refer to the Department of Secondary Education and Professional Programs for specific teacher certification and program requirements. Students preparing to teach at the secondary level must complete the B.S. degree in biology.
Students may choose a double major in biology and elementary and early childhood education or special education. Appropriate advising materials are available in the biology department office.
A minor consists of a minimum of 18 credits in biology. Students must take BIOL 121 and BIOL 122 General Biology I and II or their equivalent and four additional courses in biology at or above the 200 level planned in consultation with the chairperson of biological sciences.
The Department of Biological Sciences offers a Departmental Honors Program in Biology. This program provides an opportunity for well-qualified biology majors to conduct independent research in biology. Contact the Department of Biological Sciences for further information concerning eligibility and application.
The Department of Biological Sciences provides the opportunity for students to participate in a true research experience, which is increasingly an advantageous component of undergraduate training.
Each semester, BIOL 497 Undergraduate Biological Research is offered by one faculty member who directs and supervises a small team of undergraduates in a research project. Students are intimately involved with experimental design as well as data collection, analysis and interpretation. The course culminates with a student presentation of the semester's work in a departmental seminar, often followed by presentation at a professional scientific meeting. Research topics vary from semester to semester as different faculty members direct the research course; equally valuable training and experience in scientific methodology is obtained with all topics. The Department of Biological Sciences highly recommends this experience which adds a valuable dimension that is not provided by ordinary course work. In addition, BIOL 396 enables students to conduct research under the supervision of a faculty mentor. A student interested in this opportunity should contact faculty members who have research interests similar to those of the student.
For additional information on undergraduate research, visit the Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR).
