Physical Therapy
Pre-Professional Advising
(907) 474-6396
Physical therapists are dedicated to the promotion of health and the prevention of disease. Specifically, they provide assessment, evaluation and rehabilitation of the muscular, skeletal and nervous systems after injury or disease. Physical therapists work in hospital rehabilitation units, in private rehabilitation practices, and in orthopedic and sports medicine clinics. Many also serve as administrators, researchers and educators.
Physical therapy education typically consists of a two-year program leading to a certificate, a bachelor's or a master's degree. The current trend across the nation is toward the master's, which requires completion of a bachelor's degree before admission. As in most health care professions, the first half of physical therapy training consists of classroom instruction and the second half emphasizes clinical practice. After completion of programs accredited by the American Physical Therapy Program, students are eligible to test for licensure in all 50 states.
Acceptance to physical therapy programs is very competitive and is based on overall academic performance (most require a minimum 3.0 GPA), achievement in foundational sciences, and work experience in health care. Graduate programs usually require the Graduate Record Examination and/or the Miller Analogies Test. UAF does not prescribe a specific pre-physical therapy major, but offers a complete series of courses required for admission to most graduate programs. These include physics (PHYS 103X, 104X), anatomy and physiology (BIOL 111X and 112X), and statistics (STAT 300). Careful planning is necessary, as course requirements differ among schools.
Students considering a career in physical therapy should contact the Academic Advising Center. An advisor will help plan a program of study and explore professional schools and licensing requirements. See www.uaf.edu/advising/degree/preprof/physicaltherapy.html for more information.

This release contains a variety of fixes from 9.0.10. For information about new features in the 9.0 major release, see Section E.24, « Release 9.0 ».
A dump/restore is not required for those running 9.0.X.
However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 9.0.6, see the release notes for 9.0.6.
Fix multiple bugs associated with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY (Andres Freund, Tom Lane)
Fix CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY to use in-place updates when changing the state of an index's pg_index row. This prevents race conditions that could cause concurrent sessions to miss updating the target index, thus resulting in corrupt concurrently-created indexes.
Also, fix various other operations to ensure that they ignore invalid indexes resulting from a failed CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY command. The most important of these is VACUUM, because an auto-vacuum could easily be launched on the table before corrective action can be taken to fix or remove the invalid index.
Fix buffer locking during WAL replay (Tom Lane)
The WAL replay code was insufficiently careful about locking buffers when replaying WAL records that affect more than one page. This could result in hot standby queries transiently seeing inconsistent states, resulting in wrong answers or unexpected failures.
Fix an error in WAL generation logic for GIN indexes (Tom Lane)
This could result in index corruption, if a torn-page failure occurred.
Properly remove startup process's virtual XID lock when promoting a hot standby server to normal running (Simon Riggs)
This oversight could prevent subsequent execution of certain operations such as CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.
Avoid bogus « out-of-sequence timeline ID » errors in standby mode (Heikki Linnakangas)
Prevent the postmaster from launching new child processes after it's received a shutdown signal (Tom Lane)
This mistake could result in shutdown taking longer than it should, or even never completing at all without additional user action.
Avoid corruption of internal hash tables when out of memory (Hitoshi Harada)
Fix planning of non-strict equivalence clauses above outer joins (Tom Lane)
The planner could derive incorrect constraints from a clause equating a non-strict construct to something else, for example WHERE COALESCE(foo, 0) = 0 when foo is coming from the nullable side of an outer join.
Improve planner's ability to prove exclusion constraints from equivalence classes (Tom Lane)
Fix partial-row matching in hashed subplans to handle cross-type cases correctly (Tom Lane)
This affects multicolumn NOT IN subplans, such as WHERE (a, b) NOT IN (SELECT x, y FROM ...) when for instance b and y are int4 and int8 respectively. This mistake led to wrong answers or crashes depending on the specific datatypes involved.
Acquire buffer lock when re-fetching the old tuple for an AFTER ROW UPDATE/DELETE trigger (Andres Freund)
In very unusual circumstances, this oversight could result in passing incorrect data to the precheck logic for a foreign-key enforcement trigger. That could result in a crash, or in an incorrect decision about whether to fire the trigger.
Fix ALTER COLUMN TYPE to handle inherited check constraints properly (Pavan Deolasee)
This worked correctly in pre-8.4 releases, and now works correctly in 8.4 and later.
Fix REASSIGN OWNED to handle grants on tablespaces (Álvaro Herrera)
Ignore incorrect pg_attribute entries for system columns for views (Tom Lane)
Views do not have any system columns. However, we forgot to remove such entries when converting a table to a view. That's fixed properly for 9.3 and later, but in previous branches we need to defend against existing mis-converted views.
Fix rule printing to dump INSERT INTO table DEFAULT VALUES correctly (Tom Lane)
Guard against stack overflow when there are too many UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT clauses in a query (Tom Lane)
Prevent platform-dependent failures when dividing the minimum possible integer value by -1 (Xi Wang, Tom Lane)
Fix possible access past end of string in date parsing (Hitoshi Harada)
Fix failure to advance XID epoch if XID wraparound happens during a checkpoint and wal_level is hot_standby (Tom Lane, Andres Freund)
While this mistake had no particular impact on PostgreSQL™ itself, it was bad for applications that rely on txid_current() and related functions: the TXID value would appear to go backwards.
Produce an understandable error message if the length of the path name for a Unix-domain socket exceeds the platform-specific limit (Tom Lane, Andrew Dunstan)
Formerly, this would result in something quite unhelpful, such as « Non-recoverable failure in name resolution ».
Fix memory leaks when sending composite column values to the client (Tom Lane)
Make pg_ctl more robust about reading the postmaster.pid file (Heikki Linnakangas)
Fix race conditions and possible file descriptor leakage.
Fix possible crash in psql if incorrectly-encoded data is presented and the client_encoding setting is a client-only encoding, such as SJIS (Jiang Guiqing)
Fix bugs in the restore.sql script emitted by pg_dump in tar output format (Tom Lane)
The script would fail outright on tables whose names include upper-case characters. Also, make the script capable of restoring data in --inserts mode as well as the regular COPY mode.
Fix pg_restore to accept POSIX-conformant tar files (Brian Weaver, Tom Lane)
The original coding of pg_dump's tar output mode produced files that are not fully conformant with the POSIX standard. This has been corrected for version 9.3. This patch updates previous branches so that they will accept both the incorrect and the corrected formats, in hopes of avoiding compatibility problems when 9.3 comes out.
Fix pg_resetxlog to locate postmaster.pid correctly when given a relative path to the data directory (Tom Lane)
This mistake could lead to pg_resetxlog not noticing that there is an active postmaster using the data directory.
Fix libpq's lo_import() and lo_export() functions to report file I/O errors properly (Tom Lane)
Fix ecpg's processing of nested structure pointer variables (Muhammad Usama)
Fix ecpg's ecpg_get_data function to handle arrays properly (Michael Meskes)
Make contrib/pageinspect's btree page inspection functions take buffer locks while examining pages (Tom Lane)
Fix pgxs support for building loadable modules on AIX (Tom Lane)
Building modules outside the original source tree didn't work on AIX.
Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2012j for DST law changes in Cuba, Israel, Jordan, Libya, Palestine, Western Samoa, and portions of Brazil.

Using JavaScript and Articulate Storyline #132
Using JavaScript with Articulate Storyline #132: Challenge | Recap
Extend Your E-Learning Development Skills with JavaScript
In a recent screencast challenge, we looked at using variables in e-learning. Since most course designers don't work with variables, it was a good opportunity to learn how variables can be used to create more dynamic and personalized learning experiences.
Another way to create dynamic courses is by using JavaScript, which is a scripting language that allows users to interact with web pages. Events like hovering, clicking, and typing can execute JavaScript to trigger an action.
In Articulate Storyline, this is all handled for you with built-in triggers. You don't need to know a thing about JavaScript to build advanced courses.
But Storyline is designed to grow with you. If you look down the list of triggers, you'll find one dedicated to executing JavaScript.
Keep in mind that you do not need to learn JavaScript to create highly interactive projects in Storyline. Storyline's states, triggers, and layers are all you need to create Guru-worthy projects.
Challenge of the Week
This week, your challenge is to share a Storyline example that features JavaScript. You don't need to build anything complicated or overly technical. Instead, focus on learning how to insert JavaScript and make something happen.
JavaScript isn't the easiest thing to learn. If your project doesn't work as intended, don't sweat it. I'll still feature your work in the recap.
Finally, keep in mind that Articulate doesn't provide support for using JavaScript. If you run into any sticking points this week, please post your questions in the Building Better Courses forums. If the community can help, they will.
JavaScript Examples from the Articulate Community
The Articulate community has shared some amazing examples, source files, and tutorials that can help you get started. Feel free to use any of the Storyline-JavaScript downloads as the starting point for your project.

Face-Sized Tarantula Photo Goes Viral: Monster Tarantulas Found in Sri Lanka (PHOTO, VIDEO)
A face-sized tarantula has been discovered in Sri Lanka, and a photo of the eight-legged giant has since gone viral, freaking out arachnophobia sufferers across the globe.
The photo of the huge spider was shared by Wired on April 2, shocking readers and immediately being shared across the Internet.
The newly discovered "face-sized" tarantulas were reportedly found living in the trees in Sri Lanka, and some were even found in an old doctor's quarters inside a local hospital in Mankulam, according to the Wired report.
Thankfully for arachnophobia sufferers from other countries in the world, the giant tarantulas have not been seen anywhere else outside of northern Sri Lanka.
Scientists have already commented that the giant spiders' natural habitat is likely old trees, however, they may have recently been found in other places, such as abandoned buildings, due to problems with deforestation and the destruction of their homes.
The face-sized tarantula has been named "Poecilotheria rajaei."
Arachnologist Robert Raven, who is a curator at the Queensland Museum in Australia, has reportedly said that he believes more research is needed to confirm that the newly found tarantulas are indeed a new species, or whether they are simply a local variation of an already known about species.
Tarantulas comprise a group of often hairy and very large arachnids belonging to the Theraphosidae family of spiders, of which approximately 900 species have been identified.
Despite tarantulas often sparking fear into those with a adverse reaction to spiders, in fact most species of tarantulas are not dangerous to humans, and some species have become popular in the exotic pet trade.
A photo of the giant "faced-sized" tarantulas recently found in Sri Lanka can be seen on Wired by clicking here.
Here is a video of a giant tarantula from National Geographic:

Announcing Online Store 2.0
Online Store 2.0 is an end-to-end overhaul of how themes are built at Shopify, launched June 2021. While the information in the following article is still correct, it doesn't account for Online Store 2.0 best practices, and may not include references to recent features or functionality. To learn more about how to build with Online Store 2.0, visit our updated documentation.
Visit docsVery often, clients will want to highlight the businesses that they deal with and assert themselves as being trustworthy and in-demand. One of the easiest ways to achieve this effect is with the use of a logo bar on their website that displays the companies your clients have worked with.
As we learned in a previous Web Design and Development Blog post focused on social proof:
"Out of all the forms of social proof, perhaps none is as immediately impactful as including brand logos in the design of your ecommerce homepage."
A highly visible, deliberately placed logo bar establishes credibility for your clients, and allows for brand storytelling through imagery, rather than text.
Logo bars can also be used on your own developer portfolio sites, as visual indicators of the services you provide. Theme developers, Maestrooo, use this technique to great effect on their site, displaying the different aspects of development they can assist with.
In this article, I'll demonstrate how to use Liquid to build a dynamic logo bar section, extending the functionality of your custom themes, or bespoke client work. I'll also look at how Liquid's section settings can be leveraged to allow customizable options, which empowers clients to personalize their online store.
Creating a custom logo bar section
Here are the steps to follow to create a custom logo bar section.
1. Decide on what type of elements will be in the section
The first step when creating a logo list is to decide what types of elements we would like to contain in this section. Depending on your client's requirements you may need text, headings, or other input settings.
In this example, I'd like to include a section heading, and allow for hyperlinks to be associated with logo images. By using Liquid's section objects, we can create settings which can be accessed from the Theme Editor to assign the heading text, link URLs, and choose which images we would like to appear.
Creating the heading text for our section is straightforward and demonstrates how we can link Liquid objects to section settings. For example, we can write markdown, which appears like this:

{{ section.settings.title | escape }}

Here we're using the section object to create a property with the ID of title
. When we create settings within the schema
tags of the section, we can reference this ID and assign a specific type to this property. In this case, we would like this to be a text box, so the type we assign is text
. Once this is configured within the schema
array, it would look like this:
"type": "text",
"id": "title",
"label": "Heading",
"default": "Logo list"
Later when the section is set up correctly, clients will be able to navigate to the Theme Editor and assign a heading to this section. The heading will be a

header and the escape Liquid filter is used to ensure the output will be outputted correctly.
2. Build the code that displays the images
Next we'll need to use a mixture of Liquid logic tags, HTML, and block settings to build the code that displays the images themselves.
Since our logos will be blocks—meaning the images can be moved around within the section, as well as added and removed—we'll be looping through section.blocks
in order to output the block content. The whole for
loop containing the logos can appear like this:
view rawlogo-bar-section-blocks-loop.liquid hosted with ❤ by GitHub
Within the for
loop, we see that each logo block will be a list item and the {{ block.shopify_attributes }}
property is used by the Theme Editor to identify blocks and listen for events.
You might also like: How to Use Product Media on Your Custom Shopify Themes.
Similar to how the header was referenced within the schema
tags earlier, we can use the block.settings
property to create setting values by referencing the block's unique ID. For our purposes, the two key properties here are block.settings.link
and block.settings.image
, and the IDs we'll reference are link
and image
When these properties are referenced within the schema
tags of the section, and assigned the appropriate type
, it will be possible for clients to upload images from the Theme Editor, as well as enter a URL that the image should link to. In this case, the array for the blocks would look like this:
view rawlogo-bar-section-setting.json hosted with ❤ by GitHub
As we can see above, the IDs we have used within the list item, image
and link
, are associated with two block settings with types of image_picker
and url
. This will output as two separate settings for each specific logo block that's added to the section. You can see how that would look like to a client below:
Since I'd like this section to be available from the home page, I'm going to add presets
to the end to the schema
array. When presets
are present in a section, the Theme Editor recognizes that this section is a dynamic section and can be added to the home page.
Within the presets
, I can assign a name for this section, and indicate which category this section should appear in. I can also set a default number of empty logo blocks that should appear, by adding in a separate array for each block. In this case, I'll add in four empty blocks.
3. Create a section allowing clients to adjust the logos' sizes
Finally, we want to create a section setting that allows clients to adjust the size of the logos straight from the Theme Editor. To achieve this, we can link a section
object with a CSS value within the section.
For example, my list item has a class of logo-bar-section
, and if I add
