MSI Courses
Human Anatomy
In the Human Anatomy course, the structure of body mechanisms is studied primarily in the dissecting laboratory, supplemented with lectures, correlation conferences, clinical demonstrations and audiovisual aids. Radiological imaging, surface anatomy and physical examination skills are also taught.
Mammalian Physiology
The Mammalian Physiology course consists of lectures and demonstrations covering the homeostatic functioning and neurohumoral control of the cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, gastrointestinal and endocrine systems, along with examples of pathophysiological malfunction in certain disease.
Medical Literature Curriculum (MLCI)
This required course runs throughout the first year (along with the basic science courses concerned primarily with normal structure-function relationships). The Medical Literature Curriculum course consists primarily of reading published case reports. The cases are chosen to represent diagnostic reasoning involving a wide spectrum of clinical problems. The goal is to energize and motivate students by showing the dependence of clinical problem solving on knowledge gained in the basic science courses. The experience provides models of excellent clinical reasoning for students to begin to visualize the end toward which their education and training should be directed.
Microbiology/Immunology 101
Course #: MI101
Course Credit: 3
Director: E.J. Shillitoe, PhD
Coordinator: C. Montalto
Microbiology / Immunology 101 provides an introduction to microbes and the nature of the immune response that protects us from them. Attention is paid to mechanisms of action of anti-microbial drugs and the way that microbes can become resistant. The nature of bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi are presented with examples of each. The course prepares students for the later study of the organisms that cause infectious diseases.
Microscopic Anatomy
In the Microscopic Anatomy course, development, structure, and functions of the primary tissues and organ systems are examined. Various organ systems are analyzed for structural arrangements; correlation of form and function are emphasized at both the light microscope and ultrastructural levels through lecture and laboratory.
Molecular & Cellular Principles of Medicine
The Molecular & Cellular Principles of Medicine course provides integrated instruction in the cellular and molecular foundations of modern medicine, laying the necessary groundwork for further learning in the basic and clinical sciences, and throughout the physician's professional life. Reflecting the ongoing integration of scientific research and the blurring of disciplinary boundaries, the course includes the essential content of biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, genetics, immunology and nutrition. Scientific foundations will be complemented by clinical applications. Mainly lectures, some small group conferences and problem-solving sessions.
The basic principles of anatomy and physiology of the nervous system are taught through lecture, laboratory, clinical conferences, and demonstrations.
Practice of Medicine I
The Practice of Medicine course, spanning the first year of medical school, provides students with the skills, analytic tools, and ethical context to integrate basic and clinical scientific knowledge in a biopsychosocial model of healthcare. Through large group presentations and small group discussions and practice, the course provides instruction on medical interviewing; physical examination; preventive medicine; and ethical, legal and social issues in medicine.
Rene Choi
"Upstate's MD/PhD program does a great job bridging the gap between medical bench-side research and clinical application," said Rene Choi, whose research involves developing treatments for retinal diseases. "During our PhD years, we're required every semester to complete a clinical clerkship, where we shadow a physician of our choosing for eight hours a month. I shadowed a retinal surgeon. It was extremely beneficial to understand the disease process from a clinical point of view. I got to watch surgeries in the OR and see how the physician interacts with patients."

Red Duck Gruiter
Even by the brewery's standards, Red Duck's Canute the Gruit was a weird one. A hopless beer designed to be like the gruit beers of Medieval days, it featured homemade nettle goo and hawthorn berry juice as well as some deliberately scorched oats in the kettle. It was a beer we found beyond challenging when it was young but which developed into a really exciting smokey sour beer with age. The Gruiter is the follow up, designed to be how a beer might have been around Renaissance times. Less smokey and less confronting, it's got some roastiness in there, but that plays second fiddle to the sourness. Fuller in body than the first one and with a sharper sourness, it's a welcome addition to to slowly expanding canon of Aussie brewed sours.

Tech Sprinters of 2012: Some Ran in the Wrong Direction
Nicholas is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
There were two extremes in the stock market over the past year, "The Best and Worst Stocks of 2012," and the technology industry exhibited the same extremes. In fact, the technology industry and especially internet-based companies can be used exceptionally well to analyze the two extremes. Nonetheless, the most crucial thing is what to expect from these stocks in 2013. The past has and will always be useful in predicting the future. Some good examples of companies exhibiting contradicting returns include, the winners: Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) and losers: Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN) and Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA) among others.
Amazon rallied 40 percent during the year while Salesforce was up 73 percent. On the other hand, Groupon slumped nearly 75 percent while Zynga plunged 75.03 percent during the year. The biggest challenge that remains for the winners is whether or not, Amazon and Salesforce can mirror their 2012 performance in 2013 while for the losers, is a question of whether they can make things better during the current campaign. Do Groupon and Zynga provide a perfect buying opportunity, and is it time to short Amazon and Salesforce? Well, probably not. In fact, there is every reason that it's going to get tougher than before for Groupon and Zynga, and there is nothing that suggests that Amazon and Salesforce will have a tough campaign.
The gaming company recently announced that it plans to start its turnaround campaign by cutting costs. Indeed cost-cutting seems to be a key strategy for all companies that fall from grace. Zynga's 75 percent fall is certainly going to be a tall order in a turnaround campaign. The company has shut down 13 games thereby impressing the investment fraternity. However, this was not so for its customers. The closure triggered a 1.3 percent gain in the company's stock to end the year at $2.36 per share.
Zynga largely relies on sales made through Facebook (NASDAQ: FB). The social networking giant did not have the best of years either, having gone public only to lose 50 percent of its value before embarking on a rally towards the end of the year. Facebook is now rated overweight by leading analysts, but still faces a challenge of monetization of its massive user base. In July, the social networking giant changed the way games appear on its platform. It now shows games starting with the most recent as compared to most popular, thereby affecting Zynga's popular games like Cityville and Farmville.
Zynga can as well counter this effect by moving its players to Zynga.com, but certainly will lose out on the massive user base, which gives it wide access to customers.
The daily deals company experienced an exodus of staff including 4 executives and more than 100 sales staff. The company's plans to shift focus from daily deals to Groupon goods and received criticism from analysts because of the low margins reported from Groupon goods. The company's CEO Andrew Mason also came under criticism following the poor performance and frequent revisions on revenue estimates, which increased the stock's volatility. He was quoted saying that if he felt that he wasn't the right person to lead the company, then he would "fire himself."
Groupon faces stiff competition from industry giants Amazon and eBay, and will face an uphill task in posing any significant challenge to the two. Social networking company, Facebook has also joined the eCommerce market with its Gift Service, and there is no limit as to what it would add to that during the current campaign.
The world's largest online store's main challenger in online sales is eBay, which remains the only company with the ability to threaten Amazon's leadership in eCommerce. eBay rallied 62.73 percent in 2012 and still promises to build on that gain going forward. eBay introduced a new platform towards the festive season including a Pinterest like feed that curates a user's favorite search terms. The company also updated its search function and included bigger photos, as well as relevant product info on each item's page. Whether or not these could play a role in ousting Amazon remains to be seen.
Amazon is also likely to face a challenge in its E-book business from Barnes & Noble's Nook business, which also includes a significant investment from Microsoft (16.8 percent) and British publisher, Pearson (5 percent). Its tablet business also faces competition from Google's Nexus tablet and Apple's iPad mini, but Amazon seems to be compensating any margin losses from these business units with its online sales portal. Amazon also introduced Afterschool.com to trade sporting goods in 2012 and will likely balloon going forward.
The cloud-computing titan reported a 73 percent rise in stock price in 2012, one of the biggest gains across all counters. Selling of enterprise software proved to be a good piece of business and 2013 can only get better. Indeed, if I were to take cloud computing in a product development chart, I would say it is far from reaching the peak. The main challenge is of course competition. This kind of business has limited barriers to entry; although customer loyalty cannot be doubted. Few enterprises would be interested in changing their software in favor of untested providers.

Why aren't hybrid cars well integrated in our urban environment?
Hello everyone,I am a student and I have worked on a project based on the integration and potential of hydrogen hybrids from which i got the idea to ask all of you. First of all when i started the project I though I had a satisfying level of information about hybrids like probably the majority of people think, but in the process of working I've discovered the data about this type of vehicles was greater than I thought. After some researches I found dozens and dozens of prototypes of hydrogen hybrids alone. When I made a research about the percentage of people who would like to buy a hybrid I found that over 60% of my schoolmates and random people on the street didn't know what a hybrid car really is. So my question is why are these auto mobiles have not overtaken the market yet and why are we not familiar at least with some of them?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Feb 29 2012: Mr. Long about the Hindenberg it was scientificly proven that hydrogen didn't take a general role in the inferno that was formed. In nowadays there are a lot of hydrogen hybrid prototypes that work perfectly but no one knows about them. As an example I'll give you the Mazda RX 8 Renesis or Honda Clarity and many more... Now about the urgency I have watched a ted talk with Shai Agassi in which the man said that the number of petrol is so grate that even if some companies start making hybrids now, the results will be visible after at least 10 and more years and also it is a well-known fact that petrol is not only used for fuel and the forecast are that supplies for this fossil fuel will be empty in around 2060. So about the urgency at least I am concluding that if we don't take some serious measures in preserving oil at the end it will be exhausted when it is least expected and mostly needed.
Feb 29 2012: I suspect you are correct Mr. Naydenov. I did not not say hydrogen was dangerous. I said people THINK hydrogen is dangerous.
The sense of urgency does not kick-in for modern man until the remaining time is quite short, which 2060 is not. Again, people don't THINK it is urgent to develop an alternative to fossil fuels. People are not clearsighted as a rule. QUOTE: "The clearsighted do not rule the world, but they sustain and console it." --Agnes Repplier
Thanks for your thoughts. How about battery problems?
Feb 29 2012: About the battery problems I share your point of view Mr. Long there is no point in arguing about the obvious. Unless we don't start extracting the energy we need from a renewable and sustainable energy sources there is no point in even thinking of mass producing of electrically powered vehicles.

Raleigh City Council named a new interim city manager a little more than month after it announced it would not renew City Manager J. Russell Allen's employment contract.
City Council convened Thursday afternoon to name current city Chief Financial Officer Perry James as Raleigh interim City Manager. James came to the City in March 1982 as assistant finance director.
In Raleigh's council form of city government, the city manager is the day-to-day manager of city affairs, and the position reports to the City Council. The city manager is critical to the budget process, which is currently ongoing.
On April 17, City Council voted not to renew Allen's employment contract. At the time, City Council did not address why it decided not to retain Allen.
Gaylord said, "I am thankful for Russell's service to the City of Raleigh and I wish him all the best. This is an internal personnel matter, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to discuss any further."
Council member Bonner Gaylord said the only council members opposed to the move were Mary Ann Baldwin and Eugene Weeks.
Allen, reached by a WNCN reporter, said he couldn't answer why the decision was suddenly made. He did not confirm or deny if a performance evaluation led to his dismissal but said an evaluation is due every year at this time.
Allen makes a salary of $232,000 annually. He will remain city manager through July 1, when his contract expires.
The departure of Allen would end the long, and overall successful, tenure of one of the city's most powerful leaders. For example, Allen led the decision in 2006 to block a bold idea by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa that would have transformed City Plaza with a colorful display of lights and water.
Allen was concerned that Plensa's project would block the view from the Capitol to Memorial Auditorium, which opened up when the old Civic Center was torn down.
Plensa eventually withdrew from the project after the city set strict parameters for what he could do, and many in the arts community in Raleigh saw the demise of the project as a missed opportunity for a bold and visionary plaza in the heart of the city.
But Allen drew praise for shepherding the building of the new Convention Center and overseeing a growing city that functioned relatively smoothly despite difficult economic times. And downtown Raleigh in particular began to thrive in that tenure as restaurants, condominiums and stores began to flourish in the heart of the city.
Allen did take some criticism for accepting a $10,000 raise in 2009, at the height of the recession.
Allen came to Raleigh from Rock Hill, S.C., in 2001, when Paul Coble was mayor. In his 12 years in Raleigh, the city is routinely named one of the nation's best places to live. The city population was 302,000 in 2001 and shot to 416,000 in July 2011.
He replaced Dempsey Benton, who served in the role from 1983 to 2000 before moving to senior roles in state government.
When Allen took over in 2001, he created a "5 and 5" plan that proposed five major changes, including opening Fayetteville Street to traffic and a new convention center.
But he also dealt with the tough side of the recession, with the city eliminating some jobs and leaving some vacant positions open.

Officials Name Suspects in CA Boy's Kidnapping
Associated Press: Arrest warrants have been issued for two men suspected of bursting into a family's home and kidnapping a 3-year-old who was later found wandering the streets in Mexico, sheriff's officials said Monday.
The suspects, both believed to be living in Mexico, are accused of taking Briant Rodriguez on May 3 after tying up his mother and four of his siblings. No motive has been released.
Authorities said they found evidence at the crime scene that links Israel Ledesma Moreno, 27, and Liberato Vega, 30, to the kidnapping.
State and federal warrants were issued against both men, who have a history of minor crimes in Southern California, said Sgt. Dave Phelps, a spokesman for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
Phelps declined to comment on whether the men knew Briant's family.
Mexican authorities found Briant wandering the streets of Mexicali and contacted U.S. authorities, who brought him back across the border and reunited him with his mother on Saturday.
Phelps said the boy was mildly malnourished and remained in the hospital Monday for observation.

Brad Lidge is the latest sidelined Phillie. Lidge has been shut down temporarily with tendinitis in his right bicep. This article says that Lidge was expected to throw in a B-game on Thursday, but that he'll probably be sidelined longer than that.
The same article suggests that Rich Dubee thinks Lidge will be ready for the start of the season.
The Phils beat the Astros 7-6 yesterday to improve to 12-7 in spring action.
Hamels got the start for the Phils and went 3 2/3 innings, allowing five runs on seven hits and a walk. Four of the five runs that he allowed came on home runs, he gave up three in the game. He's now made four spring starts and thrown to a 4.61 ERA with a 1.10 ratio. He hadn't allowed a home run in his three previous starts.
Bill Hall took exception to an inside pitch in the second inning and took a few steps towards Hamels, but order was quickly restored. Hall seemed to be holding a bit of a grudge after the game.
After Hamels left, Mathieson, Herndon, Bastardo and Tyson Brummett all got a chance to pitch and combined to throw four shutout innings. Dan Meyer didn't fare as well, he allowed a run on three hits and two walks over 1 1/3 innings and has now allowed four runs in 5 1/3 innings for the spring.
Mathieson has a 2.57 ERA and an 0.86 ERA after five appearances. He has struck out eight in seven innings. Bastardo has thrown four scoreless innings in three outings. Herndon has a 4.76 ERA and a 1.76 ratio in 5 2/3 innings.
Mayberry was 2-for-3 with a double. 350/422/750 in 40 at-bats. Michael Martinez was 1-for-2. In the ninth inning, he stole second then came from second on a wild pitch to put the Phils ahead 7-6. His line is up to 265/265/382 in 34 at-bats. Barfield was 1-for-2 with two RBI and a stolen base. 476/480/667 in 21 at-bats.
Blanton will start today against the Blue Jays.
Amaro says he has no payroll flexibility to make a trade.

HAMMOND | Numerous county officials and departments are off the hook as defendants in a far-reaching civil rights lawsuit brought by former attorney Robert Holland.
U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Paul Cherry issued a summary judgment Wednesday, citing lack of evidence and thereby exempting the Lake County commissioners, sheriff and warden from the lawsuit relating to Holland's incarceration at the Lake County Jail from March 4 to 10, 2010, after his arrest by the Gary Police Department.
Holland's suit claimed conditions at the Lake County Jail were unsanitary, overcrowded, cold and noisy, and that he received insufficient medical care and that the clothing he received was insufficient to protect him from the cold. He also asserted two assaults by other inmates, and that jail staff were not properly trained.
The court previously dismissed Holland's claims against several defendants in a separate lawsuit relative to his arrest and incarceration, including the city of Gary, current and former mayors of Gary, current and former Gary police chiefs, several state judges, Gary police officers, the Gary city attorney, the town of Merrillville, several Merrillville police officers and "the 1999 warden of Lake County Jail."
Holland claimed in the prior lawsuit the defendants were part of a "vast conspiracy" to violate his rights under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth and 14th amendments, according to court records.
In his 213-page complaint, Holland accused the group of a "pattern of racketeering activity" over the past 20 years. He accused them of illegal search and seizure, false arrest, false imprisonment, filing of fraudulent charges, acts of intimidation and harassment, defamation, involuntary commitment, malicious prosecution and abuse of process to injure his business and professional reputation.
In dismissing that suit in March 2012, U.S. District Court Judge Theresa Springmann called the suit "frivolous" and his allegations "in the vein of fantastic or delusional."
Holland, who has represented himself in the lawsuits, received his law license in 1997, but it was suspended in 2009 for professional misconduct, according to Indiana Supreme Court records.

Treatment alternatives to be presented at open house
The Citizens Wastewater Advisory Committee (CWAC) met again last week and established three preferred alternatives that will go before the city council in a study session next Monday and a public open house on Wednesday, October 8.
The alternatives were decided from a total of 14, and ranged in estimated cost from $15 - $36 million.
�What the advisory committee will be recommending are the top three preferred alternatives,� public works director Steve Banham said.
Alternative A: Build new lift station and force main to City of Surrey and convey Blaine wastewater to Greater Vancouver Regional District�s (GVRD) Annacis Island plant from new lift station in central Blaine. Pump untreated west Blaine flow to new lift station. Total capital costs are estimated to be $21,734,000.
Alternative B: Build one new membrane plant in the west Blaine uplands and use the existing outfall for effluent discharge. Convey untreated east Blaine flows via Surrey, B.C. conveyance system to GVRD�s Annacis Island treatment plant. Total estimated capital costs are $18,336,000.
Alternative C: Install two new plants, a larger one on Marine Drive and a smaller one in west Blaine. Combine the plant effluents and use the existing outfall at the site of the present Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Total capital costs are estimated to be $21,734,000.
CH2M Hill, a Colorado-based engineering consulting firm recognized for their expertise in wastewater planning, has been working with the city and CWAC in this process. So far, the company has been paid a total of $151,476 � that money comes from a $225,000 federal grant which is specified for wastewater planning, according to city of Blaine finance director Meredith Riley.
According to public works, the city of Blaine is working to acquire federal and loan commitments from rural development, and additional grants and loans will be sought at both the state and federal levels.
The city has worked with CH2M Hill to identify the best strategy for pursuing this funding, and certain alternative locations could produce more funding potential than others. It is likely that some additional rate increases would be necessary to cover the cost of the relocation, according to public works.
During the last CWAC meeting, committee members were still concerned with sending waste across the harbor.
Linda Macpherson, facilitator with CH2M Hill, recognized that piping under water has been a big issue for the CWAC committee and said she had recently spoken with some experts.
�Pipes are considered safer than pump stations,� she said.
Ron Brown, CH2M Hill project manager whose expertise is working with treatment plants, said that pipes under the water are used all over the world. There are several piping options he told the committee, including a single pipe, a pipe within a pipe and armor within the pipe.
�Obviously the more safeguards you have, the more the costs go up,� he said, adding a pump station is more likely to have problems than piping.
Brown also said that the original pipe used for the Blaine plant years ago was made of fiberglass, and at the time this form of piping was widely used. Shortly after that pipe was put in, he said, it was found to be brittle. �There were three documented breaks because of it,� he said.
There is now a replacement pipe made of 40-foot segments of ductile iron, and there have been no documented leaks, he said. �You can create a system that you�re looking for, with conditions and concerns,� Brown said.
�You can design a system that ensures no negative environmental factors.�
CH2M Hill representatives also told the committee that the locations of the pipe is less crucial than the location of a pump station.
�Can there be safeguards on pump stations as well?� committee member and Blaine council woman Bonnie Onyon asked.
�Yes, absolutely,� Brown replied. �And the state�s going to require you to have backups.�
Brown also told the committee that levels of methane were discovered in the late 80s and early 90s and were coming from the decomposition of waste. There was leakage and metals present.
�Do those conditions still exist? What�s underneath there?� Brown asked the committee. �That�s what we need to find out.�
The public open house to present these sewer alternatives will be held next Wednesday, October 8 at the new Blaine fire station at 9408 Odell Road, starting at 6:30 p.m. All members of the committee will be present to share information with the public about CWAC and how the committee came to their findings.
In addition, Lummi Nation representatives may be present to discuss future plans they have with the site. The city of Blaine and the Lummi Nation are in agreement that the city will eventually leave the site and the Lummi will build a cultural/heritage center there.
Following the findings of human remains in 1999 at the treatment plant during construction, the Lummi were paid $1 million from the city of Blaine - most of that covered through the city�s insurance.
None of the alternatives are set in stone yet, and committee members were concerned that the public would want more detail.
Trevor Hoskins said he was concerned with presenting some of the alternative information to the public as there are no definite plans, but CH2M Hill advised him that the process is a number of steps, and the next step is much more detailed.
�We probably know as much about one option as much as we do the others,� Brown said.
�It�s very important the public understands that,� Hoskins responded. �They�ll want to know.� Several members said they were uncomfortable with presenting information to the public as they are not professionals in the subject matter.
�These are your decisions. They hired us to help you through this process,� Macpherson said. �This is your community.�
Committee member Pam Christianson said 90 percent of people don�t care about �everything we�ve gone through. They don�t want it (treatment plant) in their backyard and they want it as cheap as possible. We need to have our ducks in a row to explain to the public what we evaluated and why we think those are best.�
Debate over sending waste to Canada and Birch Bay continued, as both ideas are included in the three preferred alternatives.
As for Canada, committee members were told that the communities of Sumas and Point Roberts are currently served by Canada for sewer and water, respectively.
�Obviously Sumas has done it,� public works director Steve Banham said. �The more iffy things is the international exchange rate.�
The exchange rate and the political climate � being that Canada is an entirely different country ��worried some of the committee members. Some said the issue becomes less of an engineering problem and more of legal, contractual thing.
City manager Gary Tomsic said there are a lot of questions that have yet to be answered, but the city is working on that. �We�ll need to focus on a contract that�s as long as possible,� he said. �We have another meeting scheduled with GVRD where we will map out the decision making process and see if they will take us on as a customer.�
Steve Hovde, of the Birch Bay Water and Sewer District (BBWSD), said they may be growing in the future and are seeing a lot of growth along Birch Bay Drive. �There might be some possibilities to partner,� Hovde said about Blaine and Birch Bay sharing treatment functions.
Committee member Geoff Menzies said that Blaine and Birch Bay could share costs, which means they also share risks.
Mark Henderson of the Department of Ecology works with CWAC as an advisor, and gave some good advice to the committee at the end of their last meeting. �The decision you make should last at least 25 years,� he said. �Whatever it is you buy, make sure it�s durable.�
Individuals seeking additional information, can visit online at www.cityofblaine.com and click under �what�s new� or �citizens wastewater advisory committee.� Additional materials can be found at the public works conference room at 1200 Yew Avenue in Blaine from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Following weeks of work, the Citizens Wastewater Advisory Committee chose three preferred alternatives from a list of 14, that ranged in total capital costs of $15 - $36 million. These alternatives now head to city council in a study session and a public open house next week.
Build new lift station and force main to city of Surrey and convey Blaine wastewater to Greater Vancouver Regional District�s (GVRD) Annacis Island plant from new lift station in central Blaine. Pump untreated West Blaine flow to new lift station. Total capital costs are estimated to be $21,734,000.

The more advanced and civilized humanity becomes, the less equipped we are to protect and defend ourselves without the civilization and the technological advances. The world itself seems to be aware of our inherent weakness and actively tries to confine us in the narrow window where we can survive; gravity keeps us out of the cold vacuum of space, and buoyancy keep us out of the crushing depths of the ocean. Constantly being pushed down from the sky and up from the water, and we still have the audacity to consider ourselves the superior species.
As if it weren't humbling enough that our planet is the only speck of uninhabitable dirt for billions of miles, we also look around this planet to see that two-thirds of it is covered in water. Water is the lifeblood and poison of humanity; too little and we die of dehydration, too much and we drown. The relationship between humanity and water, much like any tenuous relationship, is a matter of degrees.
But humanity refuses to be told what they can and cannot do; our ego tells us that there is nothing that ingenuity and hard work cannot achieve, and so we venture into the murky deep with a level of unearned confidence matching our lack of preparedness. Requiring a sealed suit made of metal, thick fabric, and tanks of air just to keep our fragile bodies from suffocating, freezing, or being crushed, we bob in the water, barely able to move and appearing not much different from the fish pulled from the ocean and left to flail about on the deck of a boat. We may not die because of the water, but we certainly do not look at home in it.
And it is that battle, the fight between the inherent danger of the depths of the ocean and the hubris of man, that creates situations rife with the real-life and not-so-real-life terrors from beneath the surface. Here are four recommendations for further exploration into the sub-genre. (NOTE: This only covers films where the horror is beneath the surface; a whole other sub-genre of horror film exists at the surface of the water)

Geoducks down Eastern Oregon, 84-74, to lock up NAIA National tournament berth
February 28, 2009
LaGRANDE, Ore. -- Nate Menefee led the way with 28 points as the Evergreen State College defeated No. 10 Eastern Oregon University, 84-74, in the semi-finals of the Cascade Collegiate Conference men's basketball tournament on the road Saturday night to clinch a berth in the NAIA Division II National Tournament in Branson, Missouri March 11-17.
The Geoducks (19-10) travel to Oregon Tech to meet the conference regular-season co-champion Owls, who defeated Northwest Christian University 64-50 in the other CCC semi-final, for the conference playoff crown on Tuesday night.
Ninth-ranked Oregon Tech earned the first of two conference automatic berths by claiming the regular season crown. The second berth goes to the playoff champion or -- if the playoff champ and regular season champ are the same team -- the runner-up. Evergreen will thus make the tourney no matter what happens in its second consecutive trip to the CCC title game. The Geoducks lost to Warner Pacific at home a year ago and were denied an at-large bid; this season they left nothing to chance. Eastern Oregon (23-7) is a likely candidate to reach Branson as an at-large team this season, thanks to its high national ranking.
Evergreen took a 24-17 lead after ten minutes, but the Mounties quickly clawed back to take a 29-28 lead with 6:14 to go before halftime on a three-pointer by Jeremy Templeton, who finished with a game high 17 points for Eastern.
The Geoducks next led with 15:27 to play in the game when John Levi III scored on a fast break layup to make it 42-41. The teams then swapped the lead back and forth two more times before Evergreen went up for good 53-51 on a Michael Ward lay-up-and-one with 10:15 to play. Evergreen led by as many as 12 but couldn't shake a determined Eastern.
With 56 seconds to play, the Mountaineers cut the lead to 78-71 against a Geoduck team that had seen seemingly safe leads disappear twice in the final seconds earlier in the season, away from home against Southern Oregon University and the College of Idaho. But, this time, Nick Moore slammed in a fast break dunk and Levi followed with a pair of free throws to rebuild an 11-point lead and send Evergreen on its way to the Ozarks with a stop in Klamath Falls.
In addition to Menefee's 28 points -- just shy of extending his Evergreen record of eight 30 point games in a season -- Moore tallied 17 while Ward and center Julio Feliciano had 14. Evergreen, the NAIA's third-ranked field goal shooting team at slightly better than 50% coming into the game, outdid itself by shooting 55% from the field on the night to win despite being granted just eight foul shots by the officials. Evergreen also outrebounded the Mounties, 35-33, with Feliciano's seven and six each from Menefee and Anthony Gallagher leading the way.
The Mountaineers will now wait to see if they receive an at large bid to the NAIA Tournament, which will be determined next Wednesday, March 4th.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - The New York comptroller and state's Business Development Corp. say they've made a $50,000 loan to a distributor of fine chocolates in an ongoing program to help military veterans.
The loan to 5th Avenue Chocolatiere, a family-run business with more than 20 employees in New York City and Long Island, helped it open Chocolate Works. The 10,000-square-foot interactive chocolate factory and retail shop located in Nassau County hosts private parties and workshops.
Chief executive Joseph Whaley, an Iraq War veteran and West Point graduate, says they anticipate adding many jobs as they increase exports and gain recognition.
In 2007, Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, trustee of the state's $161 billion pension fund, and NYBDC announced $5 million in fixed-rate loans for veterans up to $150,000 for existing small businesses or start-ups.

The seminar thus emphasizes discussion, research and writing, and critical thinking skills.
Our course examines the ethical issues of the conduct and representation of war from the Great War (WWI) to today's "war on terrorism." Our theme follows the shift of strategy from targeting military casualties to the predominant emphasis on civilian casualties as evident in the case studies of the Vietnam War, WWI, the Holocaust, in and the wars of genocide in our time -Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and the "war on terrorism." What is more, it places a priority on the ethical issues implied in our study of the war experience.

Chris Coyier's post at CSS-Tricks on the sans-serif CSS font stack got me thinking. When I see things like this, I usually think, "That's a cool hack, but how will it work on the many different platforms?" Especially Linux, since I'm a Linux user.
For quick reference, here's what he says:
font-family: sans-serif; /* don't specify Helvetica or Arial */
- Macintosh PC's get Helvetica by default, which is awesome
- Windows PC's get Arial by default, which is good because Helvetica doesn't look good on Windows
- All others get the browser's default sans-serif font by default
Well, Linux is in the "all others" category and there are issues:
- Ubuntu (the most used distro) uses the Ubuntu font by default. It's a nice font but has a different character, and more importantly, different metrics from Helvetica/Arial
- Many other distros use DejaVu Sans by default. Also nice (and more generic than Ubuntu), but it also has different metrics than Helvetica/Arial
I personally like Liberation Sans quite a bit. It's a great sans-serif font that is metrically equivalent to Helvetica and I find it nicer than Arial. It's installed on many Linux distros by default, so here's a simple modification that will make things just a little more uniform for many (not all) Linux users:
font-family: 'Liberation Sans', sans-serif;
While I haven't tested Liberation Sans on a Mac or Windows machine, MOST Mac and Windows users aren't likely to have it installed and, like I say, I prefer it over Arial, so it's OK if they do.
This still doesn't address mobile devices much, especially if they use Droid Sans by default (which I find characteristically a little closer to Trebuchet MS than Helvetica).
Last note: I'd personally only do this for body text, where different fonts aren't likely to break your layout. Menus, headlines, etc - be more specific about your font choice.
Anyway, those are my thoughts. Cheers.

A bank robber turned millionaire is ready to sell a city square for what his son calls an $8 million bargain.
Del Dunmire wanted to turn downtown Harrisonville, MO, into a thriving entertainment and retail district. He quickly bought up buildings and renovated them, but times have changed. He now wants to sell the buildings, which means almost the entire square is up for sale.
A website detailing the sale said, "Never before has such a unique investment opportunity been available. The chance to create a destination that could rival Disney, Branson, Vegas or even the natural parks is now available right in the center of our great nation. A savvy investor has the opportunity to build on maybe the most colorful times of our glorious history and transform that into a profitable 21st century, shopping/dining/entertainment district that is truly unique and only limited by the imagination of the visionary. Yes, the possibilities are limitless!!!"
On Harrisonville's square, everywhere a person looks there are "for sale" signs.
"Someone is going to get the community at a great bargain," Mark Dunmire said.
People may have heard of Del Dunmire - the man who robbed a bank in the 1950s to pay gambling debts.
"My father obtaining his freedom from that terrible mistake caused him to refine his intellect," Mark Dunmire said.
Once out of the big house, Del Dunmire went into big business, selling replacement parts to commercial airplanes. And with success came an eccentric lifestyle. He invited the whole town to his wedding and he bought notorious serial killer Bob Berdella's home and tore it down.
Then Del Dunmire's company, Growth Industries, bought up 52 Harrisonville properties.
"He would walk up and, at that time, Harrisonville was in great disrepair and largely abandoned. He started purchasing things one lot at a time, almost like it was a Monopoly board. That's how dad did things," Mark Dunmire said.
But Del Dunmire's vision has changed. His son said he is living in Dallas, TX, and is interested in business opportunities closer to his new home.
"The dramas between himself and the city is of public record, there is no hiding that. Dad holds no animosity for that," Mark Dunmire said. "He loves Harrisonville and the community, but some of the best laid paths in life change."
Del Dunmire's buildings that are up for sale are elaborately decorated - many based on places he has visited. Some are even filled with gyrocopters and a Rolls Royce that is collecting dust. There are also bars, lounges, restaurants and dining halls all up for sale.
Besides the regular buildings, there is also a former Walmart in town that is included in the sale. It is now filled with his antiques and various possessions. The family likes to call it Delmart or Del's Toy Box because it is filled with antiques.
If the Dunmire family does not find a national or regional developer to buy all of the properties, Mark Dunmire said they could sell it parcel by parcel or he will choose to redevelop it himself.
The website buyharrisonville.com was created to let people look at photos, descriptions and locations of the properties.

My favorite interview of TMV, mainly mentions in Spanish how their music are offerings and commemorations to their late friends like Jeremy Ward (De Facto and TMV), and Julio Venegas (El Paso artist, Los Dregtones).
This has also been a tradition in At the Drive-in's music such as Napoleon Solo and Ebroglio.
The second part of the TMV interview is more based in English for any followers interested: Part 2, Part 3

Return to Action Tomorrow Afternoon at The Dunk
Manchester, NH -- The Providence Bruins fell to the Manchester Monarchs 3-0 this evening at the Verizon Wireless Center.
The P-Bruins traveled to Manchester with high-spirits after a 2-1 shootout win over the Albany Devils last night. However, the first period was stagnant as both teams failed to get on the board. The teams traded opportunities, but neither found the back of the net.
Manchester's Andrei Loktionov got the Monarchs on the board first at 11:21 of the second frame. While on the power play, the P-Bruins got caught up front and Loktionov was able to score a shorthanded goal. Despite the one-goal deficit, the P-Bruins still pummeled Martin Jones with shots, tallying eight in the second frame. However, their efforts went unrewarded as they went into the final intermission trailing by one goal.

St. Mark's Mirabella - WDEL Female HS Athlete of the Week
By Sean Greene
Updated Thursday, November 7, 2013 - 11:28pm
VIDEO: Interview with Abbie Mirabella
St. Mark's volleyball outside hitter Abbie Mirabella is this week's M&T Bank WDEL Female High School Athlete of the Week.
The senior had 29 kills in the Spartans' sweep of Charter in the State Volleyball quarterfinals Tuesday.
Mirabella, who has been a constant on All-State teams since her freshman year says it's been an exciting start to her senior year on-and-off the court.
"In volleyball it's been a roller-coaster. We've had ups and downs but we've worked through it. I'm having a lot of fun. In school it's been pretty even. I just got 2nd (honor roll) in my first quarter which is really great for me."
Abbie says she started playing volleyball around age 10, and says she's driven by the competition.
"The rush I get when I play good and when my team succeeds I feel so great afterwards. I push for my parents because they want me to succeed and all the things they put up with over the years."
Abbie has committed to go to Division 1 Maryland-Baltimore County next year, and says she wants to be a Behavioral Analyst thanks in part to her mother who works with Chimes of Delaware to help find jobs for those with special needs.
"I volunteer and go to work with her sometimes just to have fun with the buddies. They really make a difference in my life. You see how sweet people they are, and how much that want to work hard and how much they truly love you. It means a lot to me."

I am using Civil 3D 2011 for my job. I am trying to put together preliminary estimates and need earthwork qunatities. I have no issue importing a google earth surface. I import the surface and create a boundary. How do I calculate cut/fill quantities? I tried creating a finished ground surface then making a tin volume surface to compare the two. However, I do not know how to create a fnished ground surface. I have also tried grading in civil 3d. Cannot get anyting to work. Any help would be much appreciated!
First of all - welcome to the board.
We're going to need a lot more information to answer this question. First of all what is it that you're trying to design? What sort of design information do you already have - points, lines, alignment, profile or what?
Okay. Let me be a little more specific. I am trying to calculate earthwork quantities for a site where a commercial building and parking lot will go. As mentioned early, this is a preliminary estimate. All i have to go off of is google earth. There are no survey points. I am just trying to figure out how much cut and fill i am going to need to make a flat surface. The only thing I have been able to do so far is import the surface and create a boundary where the site wil be. Stuck after that.
OK that's a start. For a really basic flat surface you can start with a polyline outline of your site at the design elevation. Once you have that I suggest that you start looking at the help information for surfaces here. You will be able to use the polyline as part of the surface data and then calculate volumes to the Google Earth surface that you already have.
Okay. Thanks.

Michael Irvin Stays 'Dancing' As Melissa Joan Hart & Louie Vito Leave The Ballroom
Michael Irvin is still "Dancing With the Stars."
The former pro-football player survived a Tuesday elimination round and will compete next week on the reality show. Instead, it was Melissa Joan Hart and Louie Vito who were booted from the ballroom in a double elimination night.
Melissa got the news first and was eliminated alongside her professional partner, Mark Ballas, after receiving the lowest total score (made up of viewer votes and the judges' score) following Monday night's competition show.
"That's the game," Melissa told "DWTS" co-host Tom Bergeron after learning the disappointing news.
"It's tough, it's tough," she continued. "I was hoping to make it one more week. My husband was coming next week with my kids, but that's all right, I'll go home to them now. It's OK."
Michael and Louie had just a few minutes to collect themselves before they were both forced into an elimination dance off, for which the judges determined that Michael would stay to dance another day.
Only Bruno Tonioli voted to keep Louie and his partner, Chelsie Hightower, in the competition. Len Goodman and Carrie Ann Inaba both selected Michael as the elimination dance off winner.
"This is a lot harder than it looks, dealing with frustration [and] nerves because you're doing something you're not comfortable with in front of millions and millions of people," Louie said before he and Chelsie took their final dance. "Every day I got out there and danced I was proud of myself just for getting out there."

High and Low Testosterone Levels in Men

Testosterone is considered to be the "male hormone" that's produced by men in the testes. Although women's ovaries produce some testosterone, the hormone is produced in much higher concentrations in men and it is responsible for many of the secondary sex characteristics seen in men such as a deeper voice and hair on the chest, in addition to contributing to a healthy libido, building muscle mass, and maintaining energy levels. In general, the normal range in males is about 270 to 1070 ng/dL with an average level of 679 ng/dL. A normal male testosterone level peaks at about age 20, and then it slowly declines. Testosterone levels above or below the normal range are considered by many to be out of balance. Moreover, some researchers suggest that the healthiest men have testosterone levels between 400 - 600 ng/dL.
Men who have testosterone levels that are higher than average may experience both benefits and drawbacks. The benefits, which are modest, include normalizing blood pressure and lowering the likelihood of obesity and heart attacks. However, there is a tendency for such men to consume more alcoholic beverages, and they are more likely to smoke, and more likely to get injured. According to some researchers, the higher the testosterone level, the more likely men are to participate in risk-taking behavior (sexual, injury risk, and even criminal activity). The problems associated with high testosterone levels are infrequent and rare in middle-aged and elderly men who are not receiving testosterone treatments. When the testosterone level becomes out of balance, it usually becomes too low rather than too elevated.
The most common "out of balance" testosterone levels are found to be on the low side of normal; this occurs because a male's highest testosterone level usually peaks at about age 20, and then it decreases slowly with age. It has been suggested that a 1% decrease in testosterone levels per year is not unusual for middle-aged (30 to 50 years old) and older males. While this decrease may not be noticeable in some men, others may experience significant changes starting in their middle-aged years or more commonly at age 60 and above. This drop in testosterone levels is sometimes termed hypogonadism, "male menopause" or andropause. Low testosterone levels may result in a decline in physical energy, strength, stamina, and diminished mental aggressiveness. Moreover, men may experience more aches and pains in the bones and joints and they may also have a decline in libido and erections. There is treatment available, however, for this imbalance of low testosterone levels. Doctors may use injections, patches, or topical creams or gels that contain testosterone. However, not all men may be candidates for this type of treatment. Testosterone should not be used in men with suspected or known prostate cancer or breast cancer. In addition, the testosterone may put a male that has kidney, liver, or heart problems at higher risk for complications of these diseases. Before testosterone therapy is initiated, it is very important to check with your doctor to determine what treatment, if any, is right for you.
So, how does one ensure that testosterone levels remain in balance? Some physicians suggest that monitoring testosterone levels every five years, starting at age 35, is a reasonable strategy to follow. If the testosterone level falls too low or if the individual has the signs and symptoms of low testosterone levels described above, testosterone therapy can be considered. However, once testosterone therapy is initiated, testosterone levels should be closely monitored to make sure that the testosterone level does not become too high, as this may cause stress on the male, and it may result in some of the negative problems seen in men with high testosterone levels. Finding the appropriate balance of testosterone is possible through discussions with your doctor, and it requires your willingness to have testosterone levels checked before the initiation of therapy and then routinely in the future.

Charges Against Hartnell College President Dismissed
August 24th, 2004
The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing informed Hartnell College on August 20 that charges of harassment filed against Hartnell President Edward J. Valeau by faculty member Lydia Hampton-Stewart earlier this year have been dismissed by the agency on a finding of no probable cause to prove the charges.
An earlier independent investigation of the same charges had also concluded that the faculty member's charges were unfounded.

Devereux Awareness
Devereux - National Awareness
What is Autism Awareness Month?Autism Awareness Month, celebrated every year in April, provides an opportunity for families, friends, and local communities to raise public awareness about autism. It is sponsored by the Autism Society of America (ASA). Individuals and communities can get involved by participating in activities sponsored by their local ASA chapter or by promoting services related to autism.
What is autism?Autism is a complex developmental disability that affects an individual's social interaction and communication. It is known as a spectrum disorder, because it affects each individual in different ways and to varying degrees. Studies suggest that if one child is autistic, there's a 2% to 8% chance that any sibling will be autistic, and a 30% to 40% chance that the sibling will have milder, but related, problems. If the sibling is an identical twin, the risk for Autism increases to between 60% and 90% (National Alliance for Autism Research; 2004). Overall, the incidence of autism is four times more prevalent in boys than in girls and typically appears during the first 3 years of life. Children and adults with autism tend to have difficulty with verbal and nonverbal communications, social interactions, and leisure or play activities.
What are the symptoms of autism?There is a common misconception that all individuals with Autism are mentally retarded. Approximately three quarters of individuals with Autism also have Mental Retardation, however individuals with Asperger's Disorder, a related form of PDD, typically have average or above average IQ.
Autism can present itself in a wide variety of combinations, from mild to severe:
What causes autism?There is no single known cause for autism. However, it is generally agreed that it is caused by abnormalities in brain structure or function. Brain scans have shown differences in the shape and structure of the brain in children with autism when compared to those without the condition. Researchers are investigating a number of theories, including a link between heredity, genetics, and birth-related medical problems. Psychological factors are not believed to be the cause of autism.
How is autism treated?Experts agree that early intervention is important in addressing the symptoms associated with autism. Most professionals also agree that individuals with autism respond well to highly structured, specialized education programs that are designed to meet the individual's particular needs. In any treatment plan, it is important for family members and treatment providers to address areas of social skill development, communication, behavior, and sensory integration.
