Chemical Engineering, Biological Engineering and Bioengineering are core engineering disciplines and are central to the College of Engineering and the University's mission and its land grant heritage. The breadth of these disciplines affords us many natural links to other academic programs within and outside the College of Engineering. These interdisciplinary links have allowed us to develop strengths in emerging areas of engineering, while maintaining our excellence in more traditional areas.
BIOENGINEERING (Biomedical)
What is Bioengineering (Biomedical)?
Bioengineering is the application of engineering principles and techniques to the medical field. This field seeks to close the gap between engineering and medicine. It combines the design and problem solving skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences to improve healthcare diagnosis and treatment. Bioengineering has only recently emerged as its own discipline, compared to many other engineering fields; such an evolution is common as a new field transitions from being an interdisciplinary specialization among already-established fields, to being considered a field in itself. Much of the work in bioengineering consists of research and development, spanning a broad array of subfields Prominent bioengineering applications include the development of biocompatible prostheses, various diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices ranging from clinical equipment to micro-implants, common imaging equipment such as MRIs and EEGs, biotechnologies such as regenerative tissue growth, and pharmaceutical drugs and biopharmaceuticals.

Chemical engineers have a broad enough background to do almost anything they choose. All branches of engineering emphasize the application of the principles of mathematics and physics to solve problems and create products for the community at large. Chemical engineers, however, are unique in emphasizing applications, which are also founded in chemistry and biology. Chemical engineers are primarily concerned with processes and equipment in which material changes in composition or state. Chemical engineers often become employed by a company which manufactures a variety of chemical products, including plastics, forest products, gasoline, food, textile fibers, and pharmaceuticals. Chemical engineers also find career opportunities in the fabrication of microelectronic devices, the control of industrial and municipal wastes, and the application of biological science to produce chemicals from biomass through genetic engineering. The assignments given to chemical engineers can be highly diverse, ranging from design, construction, operations research, and product development to technical sales and management. A career in chemical engineering is often a route to top management. In addition to the industrial opportunities that await chemical engineering graduates, opportunities exist for graduate study in engineering as well as such diverse areas as medicine, law, business and biotechnology. In view of the many options open to its graduates, chemical engineering can be a particularly good choice for students who have broad interests, but have not yet defined their career objectives.
The chemical engineering curriculum is designed to give students the knowledge and scientific tools needed to prepare them for a career in industry or to go on to graduate school. It is also intended to be flexible enough to accommodate a broad range of educational interests. An option that is recommended for students with advanced placement is a dual degree in Chemistry.

Photo: Charr Rips Off Screaming David Haye's Head!
Former two division champion David Haye was once the hunter - but now the boxer is being hunted by Manuel Charr. A few years ago, Haye was able to secure a fight with Wladimir Klitschko by wearing his infamous shirt where the talkative British boxer was holding the severed heads of Wladimir and his older brother Vitali. Charr is gunning to become Haye's opponent on June 29th in Manchester. And to add more fuel to the fire - Charr created his own image where Haye's severed head is being held.
[QUOTE=Money_May;13230860]Yes it was! My bad I got them confused.[/QUOTE] :lol1: me too....I saw Charr fighting on Eurosport a few weeks ago or so and was thinking to myself.."how the f*ck is this dude not suspended?" LOLComment by ShoulderRoll on 04-11-2013
[QUOTE=LA_2_Vegas;13232626] I might get some backlash for this comment from Klit fans, but had Vitali not artificially elevated Charr in the first place, Haye would have been able to get away with this opportunist move (if it does happen).[/QUOTE] You…Comment by bojangles1987 on 04-11-2013

Ugh, hate to say that this probably is a good choice - Vitali handled Charr but he didn't get the chance to KO him properly. Haye wants that KO so that it looks like he is nipping at the heels…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (31)

In 2002, I purchased one of these foals from a picture on the internet, through a dealer, Ropin-R Appaloosas. She was a cute Grade Filly in the early picture, the only one I was allowed to see.
I used Paypal to send my monies for The Filly, Naeric Registration and micro-chipping, to Ropin-R Appaloosas in South Carolina. I was asked by Avalon's owner to keep the shipping monies here in cash for when he arrived with my baby.
When she did arrive, I was appalled, to say the least!! I had the Vet out right away. She was nothing more than a bag of bones and was infested with internal parasites as well external parasites, having both forms of Equine Lice. She was also diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and was put on Penicillin for 37 Days!! The Vet also treated her internal parasites, but she was given a barely 50% chance of survival.
The Vet also stated she cold not handle the cold weather, and I was to build a stall for her in my 'heated basement' for the entire winter.
We had several close calls with her illness and her colicing at least once a week. This was emotionally draining for us all mainly my 12 year old daughter.
I contacted Mr. Meggison about this situation, and added costs in receiving a near dead filly from him. I requested some aid from him to help with these costly expenses not just financial, but any kind of help such as a load of hay or something to offset the unexpected costs of caring for this very ill filly.
He replied that he would not help and stated, "Just think If you had not adopted her she would have died here. At least she has some kind of chance with you." Unbelieveable!!!
In doing some investigating, I found 2 other of his foals delivered to the US. had died shortly after arriving to their homes and were ill Before they left Canada. I also spoke with 2 individuals who had extremely sick foals, beside myself.
This Ranch and it's owner are without conscience!! He didn't even Report my filly to Naeric, or the fact that she existed!! I think he felt she would not survive anyway.
After a long, long hard road with her, I have a healthy yearling, but she is stunted in growth due to all her trials.
If you do not want your heart broken, or be financially stressed to the max don't even consider getting a horse from this place!!
There are plenty of legitamate rescues out there who will provide you with a 'Healthy' Horse to love and enjoy!!

Not only does She Defend Brad Meggison, But also The 'Ropin R' or 'Wanderlust', as it is now known.
The Ropin R, owned by Dana Roper in Greenville, South Carolina is in direct league with Avalon Appaloosas and Brad Meggison. She Aides in placing his 'By Product Of the PMU Industry', which are the innocent Foals. For this, she receives a "Bonus" either in Cash or in Foals and PMU Mares.
This is just not one incident with one foal, Many Died in Their owners Arms---I was lucky because after months of care and corrective therapy, my Filly from Brad Meggison, survived. I have named her "Miracle B Eclipse". And a Miracle, SHE is!
These people are extremely dishonest! I paid for, as well as others, for a Registration and a NEARIC Micro chip to be placed in My Filly for tracking purposes, should she ever be stolen. It was never done and I telephoned NEARIC about this. They Didn't Even Have The Stallion of My Filly on their files!! And he never had her registered.
Ask Mr. Meggison why he has been cut from the PMU Industry, Why Naeric, and Wyeth Labs have shut him out of the Industry. It is due to his shady business practices and the condition of his animals! He has cheated many people out of their money, and during thesed tragedies, remains non-commital, defesive, and keeps all the money anyway!!
If ANYONE Doubts this at all, feel free to Email me. I HAVE PICTURES! "A picture is worth a thousand words"

Happy With Brad Meggisons PMU Foals!
AUTHOR: Angela - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, June 06, 2004POSTED: Sunday, June 06, 2004
I bought a PMU foal from Brad Meggison of Avalon Appaloosas in 2001, and then again purchased a mare and a foal in 2002. I've been nothing but happy with any transactions made with Brad and would not hesitate to do business with him again. I still own both the 2001 and 2002 PMU's I bought from him and they are wonderful mares.
I have seen several loads of these foals in person as they arrived here in the US and I in fact have personally visited Brad Meggisons farm in Canada where I have never seen any kind of animal abuse or neglect taking place. Brad cares tremendously about his horses and it shows.
There are many, many people who are very happy with their PMU foal purchases and this person was just one case. With the number of foal and the nature of their sales and transport being so stessful you are bound to have a sick one every now and then. I'm sorry this person had to be the one with a sick foal, but to turn it into a vendetta is just too much.
There are story after story after story of sick PMU foals coming down to the states...it happens everywhere. These foals are weaned from their mothers, piled into trucks.. sometimes this is one simultaneous occurance. Travel very long distances and then have to deal with weather and allergen differences from where they came from to their new homes. If you want to be against something, be against the PMU industry in itself instead of taking it out on the farmer.
Thank you!

We need to speak up for these animals that cannot defend them selfs
SUBMITTED: Thursday, December 18, 2003POSTED: Thursday, December 18, 2003
Nov 1 2003, that sinikka crosland of tracs in canada was advised by wyeth that they would provide sanctuary for the mares and foals that they are now releasing from the PMU farms. what is actualy happening to these mares and foals is they are being sold for slaughter.The farmers have recieved payments for the care and vet treatment to cover a year and are not using it for the care of horses. We need to speak up for these animals that cannot defend them selfs and this web site will tell you how. Good luck to you and again thank you for your part. Please pass the info to anyone you know.

Guerrero Fires Back at Mayweather Over Gun Comment
by Rick Reeno
In an earlier story on BoxingScene.com, WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26KOs) explained his reasons for believing that Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero (31-1-1, 18KOs) is a hypocrite. Mayweather does not believe Guerrero is following the religious image that he portrays on the cameras. Guerrero found himself in a bit of trouble a few weeks ago, when he was arrested for possession of a firearm at a New York City airport.
"If you go back and look at what I said. Look at what I said and then you will know [why I believe Guerrero is a hypocrite]. First you got the guy driving on people's lawns with his truck, going crazy and doing doughnuts on people's lawns. Then he's going on the 700 Club and talking to kids, but then he's carrying a gun. If God got your back, then why are you carrying a gun? I was telling a friend of mine about that the other day. My friend Shawn, and I was saying the same thing – if God got your back then why are you even carrying a gun," Mayweather said.
"I feel bad for what his wife went through. I feel bad for her. That's not a good thing at all. I don't think that anybody should have to go through anything like that. But every week he wants sympathy for that, but on the other hand he said God got his back but he's got Marylyn Monroe pictures all up on his walls in his house. These are things that I just don't understand."
Guerrero said Mayweather needed to brush up on his knowledge of the bible.
"That just makes me laugh. It makes me laugh because it shows me how much he knows about the bible. We are all hypocrites here. We're all sinners. That's the way it is. There was only one person who was perfect in this world and that was Jesus Christ - and nobody else. So we're all hypocrites, we all make mistakes, we're only human. For him to say that, 'you're a hypocrite' - it makes me laugh. He's so worried about his image and about my image - he's saying 'Guerrero is a hypocrite, he's getting sympathy off his wife ' and this and that. It makes me laugh," Guerrero said.
"It just shows where his head is at. I don't know if he's trying to paint a picture for everybody that he's a great guy or he's feeling guilty about something and he's trying to bag on me about Marilyn Monroe pictures. It's a laughable."

Is there any way to make the legend wrap down to a new line, or set the max width? I have a bar chart with 10 items in it, so the legend goes well beyond the bounds of my actual chart!
See my screenshot here: http://www.ohthebooks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/chart_legend_problems.png
Really I'd prefer to have these labeled along the x-axis beneath the chart, instead of in a legend across the top, but it doesn't look like that's possible.

Miners Must Control Costs to Improve Share Prices: Byron King (7/21/14)
Global unrest and inflation will play a role in improving fundamentals for gold and silver, Byron King, newsletter editor for Agora Financial, tells The Gold Report. But miners have to control costs and clean up their internal cash flow, too. Meanwhile, investors who have run up gains in traditional investments are looking for new asset classes. King shares the names of a few well-managed companies in the gold, graphite and rare earth space that are husbanding their assets and adding value, sometimes in unexpected ways.
Wave of the Future Investment from the Ground Up: Byron King (10/8/13)

This is where mining, one of the oldest industries in human history, comes in. In this interview with The Metals Report, Byron King, editor of the Energy & Scarcity Investor and Outstanding Investments newsletters, profiles companies poised to deliver graphite and platinum group metals to tech companies working to change the way we communicate, travel and harness energy.

It's a daunting question. But in today's environment, where change is the only constant, it's a question everyone must answer. This is true whether you are an innovator or an entrepreneur, a manager or a newly minted graduate.
The first step is this: "Just start." In other words, take action now and learn as you go.
Written by a trio of seasoned business leaders, Just Start combines fascinating research with proven practices to deliver a reliable method for helping you advance toward your goals—despite the uncertainty that is all too common today. Babson College President Emeritus Leonard Schlesinger, organizational learning expert Charles Kiefer, and veteran journalist Paul B. Brown share their own deep and varied experiences and draw from a source where striving amid constant uncertainty actually works: the world of serial entrepreneurship. In this world, people don't just think differently—they act differently, as well.
Using this novel approach, Just Start will help you:
- Determine the best strategy and tactics when the future is uncertain
- Minimize financial risk in every decision you make
- Attract like-minded people to what you want to do (and learn why this is important)
- Understand why "Act →Learn → Build (so you can) Act again" is the best course of action when facing the unknown
So throw out your forecasting tools and shrug off that nagging frustration that comes with constant uncertainty. Just Start distills for you the very essence of what makes people successful in today's volatile environment. This book is your guide to achieving your goals—whether your project is professional or personal, or somewhere in between.
The Just Start approach has been developed and is being applied by Innovation Associates in organizations
For more than 35 years Innovation Associates has been helping leaders and organizations achieve extraordinary results. Having pioneered the field of organizational learning, Innovation Associates is now applying that expertise to help clients:

SCARSDALE - A former employee has filed a federal complaint claiming a Scarsdale doctor sexually harassed her.
The 32-year-old female says she started working for Dr. George Shapiro in 2011. During that time, she claims he bragged to her about performing cosmetic procedures like Botox in exchange for sexual favors from female patients at his other practice in lower Manhattan. She also says he showed her naked pictures of patients on his cellphone and asked her lewd sexual questions.
The former employee was fired in December, and she says it was done for no reason.
This isn't the first time Shapiro, 53, has gotten into trouble with the law. In 2005, he was caught by the FBI for providing sexual enhancement drugs like Viagra to the Gambino crime family. He pleaded guilty in 2006 and was sentenced to a year of probation and a $5,000 fine.
Employees at both his Scarsdale and Manhattan offices refused to comment.
