How did you start in welding; Or What made you decide to become a welder?
Did you have a mentor or was there one person who started you on your career.
I'll begin by telling how I started and why I still love to weld after 35 years.
My first job out of college was with a small electronic company.
Since it was a small company, we wore many hats.
I soldered circuit boards, assembled, and tested the company's electronic instruments.
I swept floors and learned how to run a metal lathe for simple operations.
Later I went out and serviced the instruments in the field when they needed repair and helped our sales reps sell the products to customers.
All this was ok but I still remember my first week after I started when I was shown around the shop and got to meet the company welder.
I had seen the smooth TIG welds on the stainless fittings and was delighted to meet the person who had done them.
The company was great and allowed me to watch him weld when time permitted. I was hooked!
So 9 months after I started, I went out and bought a used Airco Heliwelder (made by Miller).
Company was sold in the 90's so I got the boot but I still had my welder.
I still keep in touch with my mentor and bring him my welded parts (and a duplicate set) to critique.
He is wonderful in showing me how he would do the same weld and I save his test pieces as an example to strive for.
For 35 years, his price for this help has been a case of beer. Can't beat that.
I have added equipment and have gotten a little better in my technique, but I will never get even half as good as my mentor and friend.
The one thing I will say though, is that it is still fun and I never stop learning.
I love redintn's comment: "It is fun, till you HAVE to make money at it and there is no work."
Since I am semi-retired and do not make a living from my welding, (I would starve) it is still fun for me after 35 years.
My congratulations and admiration goes out to everyone who does this for a living.

How did you start in welding - did you have a mentor?Thermal Arc GTSW400, Airco Heliwelder II, Miller Dynasty 350, Hypertherm 1000, oxy-fuel setup, metal cutting bandsaw, air compressor, drill press, etc.:
Call me the "Clouseau" of welding !
Growing up my best friend's father was a steam fitter for power plants and he was always making us neat stuff and I was always in awe at the welding process, that awe has never left and although i didn't have a "mentor", I would say i had inspiration.
My only teaching was through trial, error, books, and asking various other weldors as many questions as i could and watching them weld with a spare hood when they were working. (that's how I learned to TIG period), before watching some one i could never get it down, but after one 15 minute session of watching a guy weld a bracket on an aluminum radiator I learned how to get a bead going within a day of borrowing another friends synch 250 and burning up some rods, then through internet, books and more questions i got to where i am today, and that first TIG bead was probably only 5-6 years ago. MIG'ing i just picked up in high school in metal shop, but was never really taught, I just played with the settings until i figured out how to match wire speed to amperage and the required weld.
Now...O/A welding i suck at! I can braze, cut and shape with one, but my welds are always huge and nasty looking with O/A, even after reading and reading about it, I think if i could watch some one for a bit i could get it down, but i just don't have any idea on the actuall technique other than apply heat, form puddle, add filler, move, & repeat. THe books i have barely touch on O/A, but even with a MIG, TIG and plasma cutter, I love that old O/A setup and still try adn use it as much as i can. I was brazing new carbide tips on some of my home made lathe and mill tooling last night as a matter of fact... It's so cool working, shaping and fusing metals, that i feel very fotunate that i have been able to buy enough machinery over the years enough to start a business and now do what i love for a living, and even happier that it's taking off faster than my home painting business did in it's first 2 years by at least 2 fold!Dynasty 200DX

Seed Has Been Sowed
Well lets see now. It all started in the summer of 1974 I needed a hitch on my old pickup truck. So I borrowed a welder (smaw) and I fabricated a hitch and installed it. I do not know what it looked like to others but to me it looked great, and it never fell apart or off.
I have worked at other trades, but I all ways come back to welding. I think God planted the seed of welding in me so many years ago, so who am I to uproot that seed. I have not learned it all, I am still learning and practicing No mentors or teachers. Just my talents that God gives me. As far as I am concerned, God gets all the credit for any good I do. And I look forward to Him showing me even more ..
Thanks for reading about me...May God show new ways of doing things to all who is willing to ask and to listen....After all it's God almighty who developed welding, so ask the expert of experts when you need help. And if you don't need help, then how about thanks, that's all ways nice to hear that....
Dad had a fitter work weekends welding antenna towers back in 1954 55, I had a great deal of admiration for the guy as he was very good at his trade, he also had a DC hobart pipeliner! I idolized that machine as it made welding a breeze compared to the old ac lincoln tombstone we had.
I am more or less self taught in welding and machine shop work, I often wondered what I should have done in life and I guess a welder and machinist covers most of it, some guys knew from day one what they wanted to be, I never did.
In 1997 I bought an engine drive Trailblazer, due to thinking about the guy with the Hobart Pipeliner, took three years to get 30 hours on it, then found a job for it repairing tanks and pipelines using the same type rod the fitter did years ago, 5P or 6010!
I have tigged in the dairy industry and on my own for the last 40 years, we had the machine in the shop at the dairy, and I made it a point to learn to use it.
I am retired now and still welding, doing thin gage steel, and thats a challenge as well.
I guess when I grow up I should be a welder and a machinist maybe ha!
I will say that this forum is a real learning experience as well, makes a guy realize how little he really knows!!mike sr

I picked it up at my tech school...I had wanted to learn for a while, and my dad never got around to showing me. Well I started off on thin stuff...and then moved on to bigger things. 20 ga, 18, 16, 12, 1/8th, and .060 aluminum...for the first part...
Then moved on to 3/16ths, and ive welded some 1/4 now as well. While I was at school "learning" I sucked pretty badly. I hated continuous welding, and was horrible at it. Stitch welding/pulsing the gun, I made much better welds...and they were just as strong vs the almighty BFH. It wasnt till AFTER I left school and just started doing it on my own, and working at a fab shop, where the boss' motto was "Its not a spaceship, GET IT DONE!" So I picked it up really quickly, and I bugged the **** out of the senior weldor asking questions to pick up on the tricks and technique. Anyone who has looked at pictures of my welding table can see what I have come to be able to do with a mig gun.
I know the other processes...but I havent ever used a stick welder, just tig, mig, and oxy.
Id say im self taught, although I had some good critique along the way. I dont think I will ever stop welding...its something that I enjoy far too much to give up. Just like working on my cars. I dont think I'll ever stop learning more about welding either. Regardless of how old you are...you can always pick up something new.Precision is only as important as the project...if you're building a rocket ship...1/64" would matter. If you're building a sledgehammer...an 1/8" probably wont.

I grew up working in Seattle's shipyards. The first three years I worked as a laborer, or shipscaler as that trade is called. As such, being the lowest paid trade, we were the ones asked to do firewatch when a lot of welding was going on and everyone was scared of someone else's sparks catching them on fire. I never did see a fire but I got to watch a ton of highly skilled fitting and welding. One time when I was on light duty for several days I was continually assigned to two old shipfitters who didn't like working much and liked the whiskey they each brought a quart of in their toolbags every day. It was way too boring to sit there with these old goats doing nothing but yakking and sucking down the sauce, so eventually I got them to show me how and I started doing their job for them. Their lead man came around and busted me a few times and then hauled me off to the foreman and said, "This idiot just won't quit fittin' when I tell him. If he wants to fit steel so bad, why don't you put in a call-by-name for him down at the Boilermaker's Union?" and I became a shipfitter. I worked for another eight years and learned a whole lot about fitting and not very much about welding.
After wising up at age 31, I left the shipyards for good and headed to engineering school. It was always hard for me to not be making something. Pretty soon I found myself collecting metalworking tools and equipment and before long I had a Miller Thunderbolt, a Speedglas helmet, and an oxy-acetylene rig following me around wherever I moved. This continued to progress and eventually I started taking welding classes in technical colleges and got certified and really learned about welding. After 20 years working as an electronics engineer, when my last job went to Bangalore, I started welding out of my (by now considerable) home shop. I've never looked back.

lucky for you guys
i just wrote a giant reply, my submittion failed, i will condence my thoughts, quickly, im not to good on the pc, how did i start, sorry that was in the lost reply, what is important is us as welders do what ever we can to teach the next generation, i learned, hands on, i really learned by listening and watching the old timers, ive been at this about 35 yrs off and on. what i do know is that most of the trades are being lost by time, most young kids dont want to get dirty, i really like this forum, there is an ol,timer at your fingertips. my line i like to use about welding is " how long does it take to become a doctor" what i say to other welders is" how long did it take for you to do a project from start to finish and have it come out as planned" see the connection. welders are perfectionist, just like surgeons, both trades require eye on contact 100% of the time, we are a lucky bunch, welding skills translates into life skills if followed. thanks kevin
Both of my grandfathers were certifed welders. Neather one of them worked as welders except for them selfs. But I alwase had wanted to get in the the line of welding, so while I was I school I had took 2 years of welding. Well thats when I got hooked. I had found it so rewarding being able to start from a pile of steel and making something that could be used or fixing something that broke that normaly I would have had to replace. But mainly I Just wanted to find my calling and ever sence I have been welding I have never been bord once.
When I was a pup (6 ish), my Dad was going to solder something. He was using an old electric iron, the handle was probably 5" and the 'iron' was about 7". He cupped his hand around the barrel, to check the 'hotness'. As soon as he pulled his hand back, I grabbed the HOT barrel. I did not know that he never touched the $#@% thing. I blistered up pretty good, but I musta learned something, I'm still using HOT tools. Well, maybe I didn't learn all that much; I still get blistered.RETIRED desk jockey.

No outside help. I am the dreaded shade tree weldor. Purchased a cheap AC buzz box in the 70s and read the one page "How to Weld" directions that came with it. Got handy with that hunk O junk after melting a fair amount of metal. Much more reading of welding text and hands on doing later I got a MM130 Mig and read the directions that came with it. Much more reading and doing I got OK with little stuff Mig and added on a slightly used MM 251 for real metal.
During the MM days and as my welding needs grew I did some more reading and purchased a Syncro 250 with all the boards. Great expence but a great payback. Lots to learn and while I can now make the welds I want/need to make I do not expect to ever Master all that you can do with tig. Welding has always come easy to me. The actual hands on and chemistry of welding makes sense to me and the concept of heat and puddle management has never seemed hard to grasp. I know this is not the case for all as I have exposed a fair number of others to welding and some are just destined to be ham fisted "burners" and not "weldors".
Careful reading, lots of hands on doing using good method both in welding and testing the work can result in very good basic welding abilities IMO. Practice must be carried out as if every weld made matters greatly. Take the time and care to do it right and by the book for repeatable and instructive results.
School based training is likely faster track to being a good weldor for most people in the long run. It also gives you a wider knowledge base as well as the ability to earn certifications.Weekend wannab racer with some welders.

A Fort Wayne man pleaded guilty Wednesday to shooting another man to death inside a Cap n' Cork liquor store in June.
Michael S. Lewis, 22, pleaded guilty to a single count of voluntary manslaughter after originally being charged with murder in the death of Christopher Mhoon, according to documents filed in Allen Superior Court.
Lewis had ridden to the store with two other men June 8, according to the documents. When one of the men became involved in a fist fight with Mhoon inside the store, Lewis allegedly came in and shot Mhoon, police said in the documents.
Witnesses told police that Lewis continued to shoot as Mhoon fled the store, firing between five and seven shots, the documents said. Two witnesses later contacted police and identified Lewis, the documents said. Mhoon died at the scene.
A sentencing hearing for Lewis has been set for Feb. 22. Under state law, the minimum sentence for voluntary manslaughter with a deadly weapon, a class A felony, is 20 years in prison.

Interpretive Handbook
8432 :
Calcium, Total, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The calcium content of an adult is somewhat over 1 kg (about 2% of the body weight). Of this, 99% is present as calcium hydroxyapatite in bones and <1% is present in the extra-osseous intracellular space or extracellular space (ECS). The calcium level in the ECS is in dynamic equilibrium with the rapidly exchangeable fraction of bone calcium. In serum, calcium is bound to a considerable extent to proteins (approximately 40%), 10% is in the form of inorganic complexes, and 50% is present as free or ionized calcium.
Calcium ions affect the contractility of the heart and the skeletal musculature, and are essential for the function of the nervous system. In addition, calcium ions play an important role in blood clotting and bone mineralization.
Hypocalcemia is due to the absence or impaired function of the parathyroid glands or impaired vitamin-D synthesis. Chronic renal failure is also frequently associated with hypocalcemia due to decreased vitamin-D synthesis as well as hyperphosphatemia and skeletal resistance to the action of parathyroid hormone (PTH). A characteristic symptom of hypocalcemia is latent or manifest tetany and osteomalacia.
Hypercalcemia is brought about by increased mobilization of calcium from the skeletal system or increased intestinal absorption. The majority of cases are due to primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) or bone metastasis of carcinoma of the breast, prostate, thyroid gland, or lung. Patients who have pHPT and bone disease, renal stones or nephrocalcinosis, or other signs or symptoms are candidates for surgical removal of the parathyroid gland(s). Severe hypercalcemia may result in cardiac arrhythmia.
Total calcium levels also may reflect protein levels.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
The diagnosis and monitoring of a wide range of disorders including diseases of bone, kidney, parathyroid gland, or gastrointestinal tract Calcium levels may also reflect abnormal vitamin D or protein levels
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Long-term therapy must be tailored to the specific disease causing the hypocalcemia. The therapeutic endpoint is to achieve a serum calcium level of 8.0 to 8.5 mg/dL to prevent tetany. For symptomatic hypocalcemia, calcium may be administered intravenously.
The level at which hypercalcemic symptoms occur varies from patient to patient. Symptoms are common when serum calcium levels are >11.5 mg/dL, although patients may be asymptomatic at this level. Levels >12.0 mg/dL are considered a critical value in the Mayo Health System. Severe hypercalcemia (>15.0 mg/dL) is a medical emergency.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The interference of intravenously administered gadolinium containing MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) contrast media was tested (Omniscan,Optimark) but no interference was found at the therapeutic concentration. Interferences at higher concentrations were observed.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
1-14 years: 9.6-10.6 mg/dL
15-16 years: 9.5-10.5 mg/dL

Downtown retailers were happily crowded Thursday morning and afternoon with fans seeking their ideas of the good stuff: Sometimes that meant morning booze at Margaritaville Nashville, often it meant live music at various Lower Broadway honky-tonks, and for hundreds it meant combing Ernest Tubb Record Shop for classic country treasures.
The Tubb shops aim to carry the entirety of country music's recorded history on CD, so for many tourists a trip to the store on Lower Broadway is a chance to pick up favorite material that they can't find back home.
International guests are plentiful there during CMA Music Festival: Thursday, German speakers and Japanese speakers conversed about the selection (They didn't converse with each other, because that would have been on toward pointless), and manager Stephen Bowen said French customers had been by on Wednesday.
"It'll be like this all day and night," Bowen said, nodding to a crowded sales floor.
Thursday afternoon, Janie Fricke and The Roys performed at the shop, and international favorite (to the point that she now lives in Spain) Rattlesnake Annie will sing at 7:30 p.m. Friday's docket, which also includes Randy Rudder signing his Chicken Soup For The Country Soul book at noon, and afternoon performances from Bobby Marquez, Bobby Rice, Georgette Jones, and another duel appearance from Fricke and The Roys. Oh, and Russ Varnell plays Friday night at 8 p.m.
Saturday, there's plenty of music, including a concert by Ernest Tubb's (the actual Country Music Hall of Famer, not the store that bears his name) old guitarist, Leon Rhodes at 1 p.m. Music continues through Sunday afternoon, concluding with a concert from The Chuck Wagon Gang at 3 p.m.

I'm thinking that if a thief wants it bad enough, it will be gone the next time you show up if it is left at a job site. Seems to me that the best way to keep anything safe is to take it back to the shop every night (hopefully attached to or VERY near your house) where you have a VERY GOOD alarm system watched over by an owner that has a .357 Mag handy.

What I normally do is run a cable choker through the tires a sep one and lock on each side. Basically so they have to cut to I use the master lock brand tounge lock that actually locks up were teh ball goes and has the piece that locks on the lip. I also Throw a 10 by 12 tarp over my machine and boxs. Basically so when people drive by they can't tell it is a $13,000 machine and tools sitting there. They usually go for the machine with no locks and that has tires on it. I try and have my machine where you can't back right up to it and go that is the biggest deal with thiefs is the easy of thieft.Lincoln Vantage Kubota diesel 30 amp spool gun , Hobart 210 with spool gun, Thermal dynamic pak master 75, miller 304xmt all mobile all ready to go.

weekly e-journal
Dr. Denise Faustman's announcement of the results of a small study of a handful of type 1 patients showing the regeneration of beta cells with the use of a TB vaccine that has been available for years is causing a controversy in the medical community....
If the findings do hold up, however, they would mean that the generic TB vaccine, in use since 1921, can regenerate insulin-secreting cells in the pancreas.
But there is no guarantee the results from this early-stage trial, published on Wednesday in PLoS One, will stand up in larger studies, which are now under way. Other diabetes researchers criticized it for going beyond the evidence in its claims about what caused the observed effects.
Dr. Denise Faustman of Massachusetts General Hospital, who led the trial, stated that, "We think we're seeing early evidence of effectiveness." "This simple, inexpensive vaccine attacks the autoimmunity underlying type 1 diabetes."
"We found that even low doses of the vaccine could transiently reverse type 1 diabetes, and this was in patients who have had the disease for 15 years." The effect lasted for about one week. "Our measurements showed that autoimmune T cells that destroy the islet cells died, and we saw evidence that insulin production was restored."
Dr. Domenico Accili of the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center at Columbia University Medical Center, who did not participate in the study, has doubts. "There is a bit of magical thinking in the concept." "The idea that BCG wipes out autoimmune cells is totally unproved."
Cellular immunologist Dr. Raphael Clynes of the Berrie Center, who was not involved in the research, stated that, "Folks had presumed that by the time patients had overt diabetes, all their islet cells had been destroyed." "We now know there are preserved islet cells many years out. The presumption is, if you can get rid of the inflammatory, autoimmune response, the islet cells could regenerate."
Faustman's research on lab mice, begun in the 1990s, suggested that one way to get them to regenerate was with tumor necrosis factor. TNF is difficult to obtain commercially, but the BCG vaccine increases the body's production of it.
Dr. Faustman reported a decade ago that, raising levels of TNF through the vaccine cured type 1 diabetes in mice. With the autoimmune T cells out of the picture, islet cells regenerated and began producing healthy amounts of insulin. The journal that published the study insisted Dr. Faustman not use the word "regeneration," so controversial was the idea that islets could come back to life. She substituted "restoration."
Three patients with longstanding diabetes received two injections of BCG, four weeks apart. Three others received saline injections.
In two of the three BCG patients, levels of islet-attacking T cells fell, the scientists reported on Wednesday. Dead autoimmune cells were released into the bloodstream, a hint that TNF was killing them as intended. A measure of insulin production rose. The only placebo patient with similar results had become infected with the Epstein-Barr virus, which also triggers production of TNF.
The scientists also reported marked increases in C-peptide levels, a marker of the body's own insulin production. (They did not measure insulin itself because insulin made by the pancreas cannot be distinguished from the injected form.) "It wasn't to the level where they could throw away their syringe, but it was a significant elevation," said Dr. Faustman. "And this was in patients 15 years out: Their islet cells weren't dead, as most people said."
The restored insulin production lasted only a week. In the trial for which Dr. Faustman is recruiting the first of hundreds of patients she therefore plans to give more frequent BCG shots.
This is not the first time that Dr. Faustman has faced significant challenges to her theory. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation rejected her funding requests and circulated a 2003 letter from two of her colleagues at Harvard Medical School, casting doubt on her work and apologizing to diabetics for "having their expectations cruelly raised" by stories about her research. It's worth noting that this is not the first time BCG (tuberculosis vaccine) has been studied – several previous trials have failed -- and several members of the diabetes research community were extremely skeptical about BCG in general, as well as this particular trial. (Faustman believes previous trials failed because of a lack of knowledge about mechanism and incorrect dosing.)
Columbia's Dr. Clynes stated that, "The paper shows that BCG is associated with a transient improvement in a couple of patients, but it's hard to conclude that TNF is the causative factor."
"It's certainly interesting and worth further investigation," said JDRF Chief Executive Jeffrey Brewer. "But it's really important to be careful about how we interpret early results." Curing type 1 diabetes may finally be within reach, he said, "but it will be a marathon, not a sprint."
Dr. Faustman's team says the study was funded "by philanthropic grants only."

Buccaneer Soccer Claims Victory Over Cougars, 2-1
Friday, September 19, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (September 19, 2003) - The East Tennessee State women's soccer team (5-1-0 overall, 1-0-0 SoCon) earned their first Southern Conference victory of the season against the College of Charleston (2-4-0, 0-1-0) with a 2-1 win at Liberty Bell Field. Tonight's win was the first win over the Cougars since the inception of the Buccaneer women's soccer program. ETSU scored first when junior Jennifer Fields (Mount Airy, Md.) put the ball in from five yards in front of the net at 19:20. Freshman Emily Fulcher (New Bern, N.C.) assisted on Fields' second goal of the season and the only goal of the first half. Seconds after the start of the second half, Andrea Brown (High Point, N.C.) scored an unassisted goal. The senior took a shot from 18 yards out to beat the Charleston goalkeeper Alice Keeney for the game-winning goal. "Andrea's goal was phenomenal it was a line drive right to the back of the net. She stepped up tremendously as a senior and did a great job," commented head coach Heather Henson. With seven minutes of play left in the game, Perri Brenner notched the Cougars' lone goal with a kick from 16 yards outside the goal line to bring the final score of 2-1. "Kevin Dempsey does a great job at the College of Charleston," said Henson. "They come right at you and they will be coming strong and fast." ETSU keeper Heather Sanden (Manassas, Va.) made 15 saves and rose to 5-1-0, while Keeney made only 1 save and fell to 0-1-0. "A lot of energy went into that game and our team toughed it out and fought through the last 10 minutes," stated Henson. "We like shutouts, but ultimately we like wins better." Next Friday, the Bucs travel to Rock Hill, S.C. to face Winthrop at 5:30p.m. before hosting Furman at home on Sunday at 2:00p.m.

Blame it on the rain? Tough early-season matchups? Injuries? Turnovers?
Whatever the reason, 70 percent of the Blackstone ValleyŌĆÖs teams that played last weekend lost, and four of those seven losing teams were badly beaten by 27 or more points.
But while the negatives outweighed the positives last weekend, this is a new week. And while not a lot of matchups stand out, there are a pair to highlight, but you will have to wait until Saturday afternoon to see these duels featuring Blackstone Valley opponents.
In Division II-B, St. Raphael will look for its second league win in three tries when it hosts winless Woonsocket at 4 p.m. at Pariseau Field, and in Division III, two teams looking for their first division win will collide when Burrillville hosts Lincoln at 2:30 p.m. at Alumni Field.
FridayŌĆÖs schedule is led off by an interesting 6 p.m. contest between Division IV foes Mount Pleasant and Central Falls at Macomber Stadium. The upstart Warriors will vie for their first 3-0 start since 2005 when they clash with the unbeaten defending champion Kilties.
Pawtucket fans will also have a tough choice to make that night because both Tolman and Shea have 7 p.m. games at home. The Tigers will host Pilgrim in a Division II-B game at Pariseau Field, while the Raiders entertain Chariho in a Division II-A meeting at Max Read Field.
Also on the docket is East ProvidenceŌĆÖs Division I contest against Portsmouth at Pierce Field, CumberlandŌĆÖs Division II-A battle against Westerly at Tucker Field, and North SmithfieldŌĆÖs Division IV tilt with Smithfield at the SentinelsŌĆÖ Boyle Athletic Complex. All three games are at 7 p.m.
Wrapping up the weekŌĆÖs schedule is SaturdayŌĆÖs Division II-B contest between Ponaganset and West Warwick at the ChieftainsŌĆÖ home field. That game starts at 2 p.m.
HereŌĆÖs a brief look at this weekendŌĆÖs nine games:
Woonsocket at St. Raphael
The Saints were one of the few teams to win last week, ripping Pilgrim, 38-6, and this weekend, they will try to continue their fine play and go to 2-1 in the division when they take on the Villa Novans.
Quarterback Julien Diaz (169 passing yards, three TD passes) had a superb game last weekend, and he will be looking to carry over that performance into this weekŌĆÖs game. Running back Charles Correa, tight end Davon Robertson, and fullback/linebacker Pat Miranda have also been solid in the early going.
The two-time defending champion Villa Novans, who will be trying to avoid their first 0-3 start since 2006, actually lost to Pilgrim in their division opener, 18-7. ItŌĆÖs been a tough September for this young and inexperienced team, but the Novans hope to take another step forward with an improved performance.
Injuries have also taken their toll on the Villa Novans, who hope to have one or two of their walking wounded back on Saturday. Topping the list of injured players are senior tailback Jalen Evans, sophomore backup DŌĆÖAndre Thomas, and junior lineman Juan Rivera.
Lincoln at Burrillville
A big game for these two division rivals, who at 0-2, canŌĆÖt afford to fall into a three-game hole in the standings, especially with some of the leagueŌĆÖs tougher teams awaiting them on their schedules in the coming weeks.
Both foes share a few things in common, such as the fact that they played the same opponents in the past couple of weeks and were both blasted by one of them, Rogers -- the Broncos lost 47-12, while the Lions on Monday were 41-6 losers.
But while the Broncos dropped a 13-7 decision to East Greenwich that saw the Avengers score the game-winning touchdown with 3:32 left in the game, the Lions posted a 20-0 victory a week earlier, only to have the win stripped from their record and ruled a forfeit because they unknowingly used a player that was ineligible by school stands.
Lincoln quarterback Anthony Palombo, who did not play in the second half of the loss to Rogers, will be back behind center this weekend, head coach Dave Waycott reported after that game.
Mount Pleasant at Central Falls
The WarriorsŌĆÖ defense has made plenty of waves this month with its back-to-back shutouts of Smithfield two weeks ago and always-tough Hope last week, but this weekend, the test gets tougher when the Kilties come to town.
The Kilties own an 11-game win streak in the league that includes last weekŌĆÖs 14-8 victory over Smithfield, a team that C.F. roughed up for 29 points in its win. Quarterback Jayquan Monteiro and running back Troy Forrest make the KiltiesŌĆÖ offense go.
If the Warriors plan to win this game, they are going to need another splendid performance from its ŌĆśDŌĆÖ and to avoid the turnover bug as they did last week against the Blue Wave. And what can running back Josh Brandon, who ran for a career-high 111 yards last week, do for an encore this weekend?
Pilgrim at Tolman
This could be the blowout of the weekend. The Patriots, who were dismantled last week by SRA, have just seven victories over the past four-plus years and a young team that could be staring at another losing season.
Seven victories was what the Tigers produced last year en route to capturing the regular-season crown, and almost all of the players from that team will be lining up for this game.
In back-to-back wins over the Saints and Novans, the Tigers have outscored those teams by a 57-20 count. That margin should grow considerably in this weekendŌĆÖs game, which could be said and done by halftime.
Portsmouth at East Providence
The Townies (1-1) had one of their worst game of the season last year in their 24-14 loss on the road to the Patriots, and you can be certain they donŌĆÖt want to repeat that same performance in FridayŌĆÖs showdown.
E.P. is also coming off a 19-10 loss to Cranston West that saw five turnovers by the Townies help the Falcons produce their scoring. Can the Townies put this ugly loss in their rearview mirror and avoid back-to-back losses that may hurt their bid at a return trip to the playoffs?
The Patriots, who fell to 1-1 last week after falling to mighty La Salle, 38-21, feature one of the best all-around players in the state in All-State running back Austin Szczepaniak and another All-State performer in kicker Dan Thorpe.
Westerly at Cumberland
Could Westerly be the team to beat in Division II-A? The Bulldogs shut out a tough Chariho team, 16-0, in their division opener, and last week, erupted for 53 points in a blowout victory over Shea.
The Clippers, who fell to 1-1 in the division after dropping a 20-13 decision to the Chargers (that saw Chariho win the contest with a goal-line stand in the final minute to play), have played well defensively this year and will need to continue to do so if they plan to earn a playoff spot.
But this weekend, will surely need to turn their defense up a notch against the ŌĆÖDogs, who totaled 418 yards last week against the Raiders. Quarterback Phil Lynch and running backs Spencer Read and Wes Gomez lead Westerly.
Chariho at Shea
Speaking of the Raiders, they will be trying to avoid their first 0-3 start since 1997, but in order to do that, they will have to erase the sting from their most lopsided defeat in recent memory.
In last FridayŌĆÖs 53-19 loss to Westerly, the Raiders turned the ball over seven times, five on lost fumbles, and gave the BulldogsŌĆÖ potent offense a short field to work with all night long.
This Friday, the Raiders face an easier test in the Chargers, who are working with 17 new starters this season, but if turnovers and penalties rear their ugly heads again, this could be a long night for the Silver and Black.
North Smithfield at Smithfield
The Northmen are fresh off a bye week, and you can bet that head coach Wes Pennington got a lot of work in during that week off. Two weekends ago, five turnovers paved the way for an 18-10 loss to Hope, a defeat that certainly did not sit well for a team expected to compete for the division title.
Luckily for the Northmen, they are facing a Sentinel squad that is 0-2 and has won just once in its last nine league games. It would take a total meltdown for North Smithfield to lose this game.
West Warwick at Ponaganset
The ChieftainsŌĆÖ strong start to their season hit a huge speed bump last week in the form of a 34-7 loss to Mount Hope last Sunday that saw Ponaganset total just 149 yards of offense and turn the ball over four times.
And things donŌĆÖt get any easier for the Chieftains this week when the Wizards come to town. They are 2-0 with wins over Mount Hope and Toll Gate under their belts and playing very good football with a veteran cast that includes 19 returning starters.
For Ponaganset (1-1) to win, big games are going to be needed from the likes of quarterback Chris Larrabee, tailback Scott Peterson, and receiver Connor Mathieu, and the ŌĆśDŌĆÖ is going to have to step up its play.

Powered by IBS Cloud Solutions
With IBS Enterprise in place, medical equipment supplies company Lifco Dental is speeding up orders and deliveries for dentists throughout the Nordic region
If you live in the Nordic region and visited your local dentist recently, there is a high probability that the materials your dentist used on you were delivered by Lifco Dental AB. The customers of this leading wholesaler of dental products and equipment consist of more than 25,000 dentists, located in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and the Baltic countries. Lifco Dental, which is one of seven business areas in the Lifco industrial group, provides logistic services for the companies in the Dental Products business area. The company runs its logistic services out of a 4,000 square-meter central storage warehouse located in Enköping, Sweden, and a large addition is underway.
Lifco Dental has been using IBS solutions since 1997 and as Managing Director Per Arosenius says, "the company was due for a much needed upgrade." He explains: "We needed a more standardized system to keep up with new technologies and went live with Enterprise 6 as scheduled without any direct problems. The system worked as expected, with just minimal adjustments. But there is still some fine tuning to be done before it is perfect," says Arosenius.
Shortly after the upgrade, Lifco Dental merged with Finnish Oriola Dental. As a result, Lifco Dental now has up to 130,000 order lines monthly. Arosenius points out that the upgraded solution helped them to successfully move stock from the Finnish company to Sweden. He says it also gives them huge potential to save costs and get a quicker return on investment.
Lifco Dental was happy with its existing IBS solution, so when it came time to choose a new system or an upgrade, Arosenius says they had no qualms about remaining with IBS and installing the latest Enterprise 6 solution. "It was a natural step to continue to use the IBS solution and to do the upgrade with them. It's easier to understand when you have the same base and functionality with a new system. If we had chosen another competitor, we would definitely have had some problems with data interpretation. But we were already comfortable with the IBS system and IBS consultants." However, as with most changes, there were a few issues, he says. "I believe there are a few glitches in the system design, but we are discussing this with IBS developers to solve the problem. As well as being supply chain specialists, IBS are good listeners and strive to achieve 100 percent customer satisfaction." Lifco Dental's IBS Enterprise 6 solution includes sales order management through distribution, service management and financials.
The IBS solution includes a fully integrated Multi Distribution Centre (MDC) module which allows Lifco Dental to create a dynamic and flexible product supply within the group. This includes automatic internal order handling for when deliveries of global and regional products are made between different legal companies. The software automatically performs inter-company order handling, invoicing, distribution and financial transactions between the companies.
Lifco Dental has also installed IBS Planner View - a powerful and adaptable PC-based, graphical planning and information management tool that provides real-time supply chain visibility. IBS Planner View enables the company to collect, manage, present and use information from multiple servers, database management systems, companies, applications and software releases – all into one common interface.
With 6,000 order lines daily and a 96 % service level of delivery within 24 hours in the Nordic region, Arosenius says the company needs an efficient system in its warehouse to not only handle outgoing order lines, but also incoming ones from its over 500 suppliers worldwide. "The IBS solution has great potential and I would definitely recommend it to the other business areas within our group," he concludes.

Recipe by JOSIE
"Miso is a fermented soy bean paste that adds a rich flavor. This is a quick, healthy soup that is very popular in Japanese cuisine."

3 cups
prepared dashi stock
1/4 cup
sliced shiitake mushrooms
1 tablespoon
miso paste
1 tablespoon
soy sauce
1/8 cup
cubed soft tofu
green onion, chopped
I live in Japan and wanted to make my first miso soup. If you don't use dashi, you won't get an authentic miso soup. It's essential in Japanese cooking. I had no idea which Miso paste to buy and since I can't read the kanji I ended up buying a red and white combination. Appearance and taste differs between the two. I used dried shitake mushrooms that I rehydrated along with silken tofu. Served to my Japanese friend and her two year old and the two year old had three helpings and kept saying "oishii", delicious. Even my 22 month old devoured the stock, pushing aside the mushrooms and tofu. I will make it again and will look for more similar recipes.
I did not like this at all. It made my house smell awful. However, I think it was probably the dashi stock I used. It was pink and weird tasting. Maybe I'm just not a miso soup type of person or maybe I didn't do something right. It just wasn't for me. I don't think I'll try this again.

This is really good! I am currently living in Japan and couldn't figure out how to get that "authentic" miso soup taste. Dashi stock was the answer! If you want to make it even healthier and more filling, add some fresh bean sprouts! They go great in this soup.
This was awesome and really close to the miso soup you'd expect from your favorite sushi bar. I used a combination of mushrooms that I had on hand, and since I am a vegetarian I did not use dashi stock. Instead I used a combination of vegetable stock and water and found a great organic koji soy sauce to mix with the miso paste. My very picky friend loved it, too, so it's safe to say that it's a wonderful recipe.
I thought this recipe was great! I just finished cooking it. Due to the remote area that I live in, I couldn't get any Dashi stock so I substituded it with a mixture of vegie stock and chicken broth. I also added nori to it (thanks to some of the other reviews) and I found it to be an excellent addition.
This miso soup is awesome! I've made it two times now. For convenience sake instead of the dashi stock, I use 1 can of chicken broth and 11/3 cup water plus some oyster sauce. I also had the idea to add in 2 sheets of nori, to add substance and give it more nutrients. Its not as authentic but it tastes great.
Delicious! Exactly how Japanese restaurants' soups taste. Works well with any kind of mushroom.
Very good soup! It was a little on the salty side, so I may use reduced sodium soy sauce the next time I make it, but my husband and I really enjoyed it. My husband is very picky when it comes to stuff like this and he said it was almost as good as the miso soup our local Chinese restaurants serve.

Tuesday, November 04, 2003Johnson City, Tenn. (November 4, 2003) - East Tennessee State used a pivotal win in game four as the Buccaneers pulled out a 3-2 victory over visiting Western Carolina Tuesday evening from Brooks Gym. ETSU (7-19, 5-9 SoCon) remains just a half game behind the Catamounts (13-14, 5-8 SoCon) in the North Division standings after the Bucs defeated WCU by scores of 22-30, 30-24, 23-30, 39-37, 15-11. "We didn't give up when we were down," said ETSU head coach Lindsey Devine. "I've talked all season about building character, and this team dug deep and found some heart tonight." The 'Cats led by as many as seven points in game four, 20-13, but ETSU responded by rattling off six consecutive points to make the score 22-20 in favor of Western Carolina. After withstanding 20 ties and 11 different lead changes in game four alone, the Buccaneers prevailed with the 39-37 decision. Western's Shari Harder finished the night with a triple-double by tallying 10 kills, 20 digs, and 54 assists. Harder also recorded a match-high .444 attack percentage. Ellie Talbot led the Catamounts with 21 digs on the defensive side of the net, while four players registered double digits in kills, led by Heather Koontz (14). Freshman Kellyn Thaut followed closely behind Koontz and ended up with 13 kills in just three games played. Michelle Gorton picked up eight of the team's 15 blocks, as the Catamounts out-blocked their opponent 15-8. The Buccaneers boasted five players with double digits in kills, led by career-high 20 kills from senior Lissa Allen (Palm Bay, Fla.). Fellow senior Kate Steidle (Waynesboro, Va.) registered 18 kills, followed by Karen Freeburg (New Castle, Ind.), who tallied 14 kills and 23 digs, which gave Freeburg her team-leading seventh double double of the season on top of a match-high four service aces. Kelsey Sherich (Ogallala, Neb.) and Sara Scandiffio (Purcellville, Va.) rounded out the Buc offense with 12 and 11 kills, respectively. Freshman Natalie Pittenger (Gaston, Ind.) paced the ETSU defense with 30 digs. Sophomore setter Kristi Robinson (Knoxville, Tenn.) put together an impressive performance as well with 15 digs and 71 assists - just one assist shy of the school record. Meanwhile, freshman Andrea Piercy (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) recorded 12 digs. "Lauren Madzia (London, Ontario) played a key role for us tonight," said Devine. "She entered the match in the fourth game and provided a huge lift for our team. Kate and Lissa continued to be strong offensively, while Kristi continued to spread the ball around. Natalie and Karen picked up the slack on the defensive end - it was a total team effort." ETSU hits the road for the last time this regular season with matches at Davidson on Nov. 7 and Georgia Southern on Nov. 9. The Buccaneers end at home with a Nov. 14 match versus UNC Greensboro and the season finale will take place on Nov. 15 against Elon. "Every match from here on out is so important to keep our postseason hopes alive," said Devine. "If we play at the level we played at tonight and play as one team, then we are hopeful that we will be in Chattanooga for the SoCon tournament at the end of the month."

If you live on campus, your residence hall is home base. It's where you keep your things and where you go to sleep, study, relax and recharge. The JSC Residence Life staff strives to make sure that all of our campus residences are safe, supportive and comfortable spaces for you to call home. But each residence hall is a little different. Read about each of our residences to get a sense of what might be a good fit for you:
Arthur Hall
Arthur Hall is our suite-style residence hall and campus Wellness Living Community. Each suite has four rooms. Most rooms are doubles, though there is limited single room availability. The common area of each suite has couches and cable hookup. As member of the Wellness Living Community, residents sign an agreement not to possess, consume, or be under the influence of alcohol or other drugs while in the building. We also encourage proactive wellness-friendly measures from the building's staff and students. A mix of first-year students and upperclassmen inhabit this space at the head of the campus quad. Many residents appreciate Arthur's proximity to Dibden Center for the Arts.
Floors are co-ed, though each suite is single-sex. Residents share responsibility for the common area of the suite.
Governors Hall
Governors Hall is home to the majority of our first-year students and is the center of much of our First-Year Experience programming. The building is co-ed by floor, meaning that each floor is single-sex but there are both men's and women's floors on each wing.
On the lower level, there is a spacious recreation and meeting room students can use to study together or relax after studying together. Each floor in Governors has single, double, and triple rooms. For more about how rooms are assigned, see the Housing Assignment Procedures page.
Two floors of Governors are designated Wellness Living. Residents will sign an agreement not to possess, consume, or be under the influence of alcohol or other drugs while on the South Wing, second or third floor.
Martinetti Hall
Martinetti Hall houses administrative offices and a classroom, while part of the second floor houses the Business and Economics departments.
Upper-floor rooms are considered "prime housing." Upperclassmen who sign up for Martinetti must meet an overall GPA requirement of 2.5 and have no active discipline file.
The building is co-ed by door, meaning same-sex roommates have opposite-sex neighbors. The second floor has one bathroom, which is co-ed. The bathrooms on the third floor are single-sex.
Senators Hall
Many students choose Senators Hall because of its place away from the center of campus and its proximity to SHAPE and the Visual Arts Center.
While the majority of Senators residents are sophomores, upperclassmen and new students reside there as well. The building is co-ed by floor.
Each floor contains single, double, and triple rooms. For more about how these rooms are assigned, please see our Housing Assignment Procedures page.
Adult Student Housing
Adults 21 and over, married students, and single parents can also choose to live in the College Apartments.

Ron and Russell Mael got their musical start in the band Halfnelson, along with another pair of brothers, Earle and Jim Mackey. Halfnelson's debut was produced by Todd Rundgren, but it failed to garner much attention. The group's label decided that the band needed to change their name, because Halfnelson was too "sportscentric," and thus Sparks was born. The Mackeys and the Maels parted ways, so today Sparks consists of just Russell, who provides vocals; and Ron, who writes the songs, plays keyboards and looks generally frightening.
"Perfume" comes off of the brothers' 2006 album Hello Young Lovers, and they've released two more since then. Their musical style has changed pretty drastically over the 40+ years they've been together, and their prolific output since then can seem a little intimidating to the new listener. To get a good sense of their different styles, check out 1974′s Kimono My House, 1982′s Angst in My Pants, and 1994′s Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins.

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo says Michael Schumacher will "forever" be a "hero" to all at the Scuderia.
Schumacher was one of the greatest drivers to have raced for Ferrari. During his 11 years with the team he won 72 grands prix on his way to five successive Drivers' Championship titles.
Those on-track battles he had for Ferrari, though, are nothing compared to the fight he faces these days, six months after suffering severe brain trauma in a skiing accident.
Remembering the driver at the opening of a new Ferrari dealership in Munich, di Montezemolo hailed the 45-year-old as a "hero" with Ferrari.
"Over the last 14 years in Formula 1 we have won eight Constructors' titles and six Drivers' World Championships," Speed Week quotes him as having said.
"And when I think of it, the drivers who have made this possible, I always think of one driver, who has always been a hero.
"He will forever be a hero in the history of Ferrari and that is Michael Schumacher."
He added: "And we hope."

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Vonn places third in Moscow City Event Dual Slalom
Lindsey Vonn added to her points tally from the season with third place in the Moscow Dual Slalom. Although not a regular event on the World Cup Tour, the City Event Dual Slalom events are fast becoming a popular event with both the racers and the crowds. The dull and dreichy conditions did nothing to dampen the excitement that the top racers in the world cooked up for the watching crowds. Despite both Vonn and Maria Hoefl-Riesch losing in the semi finals, both racers were happy with the event.
The City events are designed to capture the imagination and appeal of the city dwellers and bring skiing to the masses. With the top fifteen racers on the World Cup Tour getting tickets to race (plus one local racer), the racers fought a knock out system down an 18 gate course. The short course was nothing like they have on the regular tour yet appealed to the racers for its originality.
Both Vonn and Hoefl-Riesch fought their way through to the semi finals yet Vonn came up against her countrywoman, Julia Mancuso and lost both legs, crashing on the first; Hoefl-Riesch won the first leg against Michaela Kirchgasser but lost the second and was out.
In the small final, Vonn got the upper hand on Hoefl-Riesch to capture more points in the race for the Overall Title. Vonn overhauled a three tenths of a second deficit on the second run to capture third place! "My last run against Maria was my best run of the day," Vonn said. "I'm really excited to be on the podium."
Lizz Goergl, Anja Paerson and Anna Fenninger also both qualified for the event but were knocked out in the opening heats. Although this was the 72nd podium of Lindsey Vonn's career, it was her first in the parallel events!
Women's Results
1. Julia Mancuso (USA)
2. Michaela Kirchgasser (AUT)
3. Lindsey Vonn (USA) HEAD
4. Maria Hoefl-Riesch (GER) HEAD
9= Lizz Goergl (AUT) HEAD
9= Anna Fenninger (AUT) HEAD

Men's Results

Guest blog by Deborah Dubow Press, Regulatory Affairs Manager, ASPCA Government Relations
The ASPCA believes that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The more prepared animal facilities are for emergencies, the better responders, like the ASPCA, can stretch our resources and focus our relief efforts when disaster strikes.
That's why today we applaud the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) new regulation requiring all facilities licensed under the federal Animal Welfare Act—this includes breeders, zoos, research facilities, dealers, and other exhibitors and intermediate handlers—to prepare emergency plans for protecting and caring for animals during disaster.
While the ASPCA will always provide zealous and expert response to imperiled animals, we believe that animal-related businesses should be prepared to protect their animals in emergency situations. Given the tireless efforts of the ASPCA's FIR Team and other first responders, mandatory emergency planning is a small thing to ask and a reasonable cost of doing business.
We are hopeful that this new regulation will prevent animals from being harmed during man-made and natural disasters alike. To learn about establishing an emergency plan for your own pets, please visit our Disaster Preparedness page.

Camp 2 = Monday, June 15th-Thursday June 18th
Camp3 = Monday, June 22nd-Thursday June25th
Welcome to Truett-McConnell College athletics! Truett-McConnell College (TMC) is a private, Christian, coeducational four-year college of liberal arts and sciences. TMC participates in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), Division I as welll as the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) Division 1. The TMC athletic teams compete against teams in the NAIA, NCCAA, and NCAA respectively. One of the goals of the athletic department is for TMC student athletes to be the best they can be and grow in their time at TMC athletically, academically, and spiritually.
A long-time supporter of Truett-McConnell College athletics, Rodney Fitzgerald, presented a generous gift to the college for use in the men's basketball, women's basketball and baseball programs. The gift was made on September 26, 2007, at a luncheon meeting in which Fitzgerald expressed again his great interest in TMC intercollegiate athletics.
Rodney Fitzgerald presents check to TMC Athletic Director David Elder
An employee of Truett-McConnell for 20 years, Fitzgerald served at various times as Director of Admissions, Director of Development, Director of Financial Aid, Dean of Students and full-time history faculty member. He rarely missed any sports event, many times traveling long distances to see his TMC teams play and cheer them on.
He was a valued recruiter for the TMC athletic teams because as he traveled around the state in his position with the admissions office, he reported to the TMC coaches the names of good athletic prospects he had met or heard about.
In making the gift to TMC athletics, Rodney Fitzgerald issued a challenge to any former Truett-McConnell student or employee who was involved with the intercollegiate athletic program as a coach, player or spectator to "step up to the plate" and make his/her own gift to the TMC athletic program. Checks may be made to Truett-McConnell College; contributions are tax-deductible.

Welcome to the Mount Sinai MD/PhD Program
Welcome to the MD/PhD program at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. You will be joining a rigorous, integrated Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) that combines clinical education from one of the nation's leading medical schools with next-generation research in one of the nation's foremost biomedical research communities, with the two tightly integrated in an extraordinarily effective translational environment. Our MSTP takes a cross-disciplinary approach to address complex biomedical problems, promote innovative collaborations, and expose students to initiatives that bridge science and medicine. Mount Sinai's MSTP graduates are uniquely poised to embark upon careers as leaders to drive basic science discoveries toward improved clinical care.
Seventh year MD/PhD student Thomas Hays speaks about his experience at the Icahn School of Medicine.
In this documentary short film, we follow several medical students through their first year of medical school at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) in New York City.
The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has created a uniquely fertile environment for its scientists, clinicians, and faculty to innovate biomedical research, practice, and education -- with the ultimate aim of producing the kinds of discoveries and therapeutic advances that will change how humans are effected by disease.

Student Activities & Events
Although COA is a small college, it offers quite a bit for students to do. Several times every term students fill the Great Hall of the historic Turrets mansion, decorated with an elaborately carved wooden ceiling, to indulge in Open Mic performances. Students enjoy settling into the cozy couches with a cuppa hot tea and a freshly baked cookie to be entertained by their peers – who get plugged in to share some music, poetry, or story telling. In addition, there are concerts, dance parties, student plays, and dance lessons to keep people moving and having fun with each other during the term. If that's not your flavor, you might try joining one of the student organizations in their efforts to educate others and make a positive impact on our world. Increasing the understanding of international cultures, broadening awareness of the democratic process, and supporting acceptance of individual differences are some of the topics that students are rallying around.
There are opportunities to maintain balance and sanity in this exciting and challenging academic setting. Exploring the great outdoors and getting to know your peers can happen throughout the year, as can treating your mind, body and spirit. Our Health and Wellness programs offer yoga and capoeira weekly, healthy snacks for late night study sessions each term, and counselors who can help guide you with enlightening conversations each week of every term.
COA's location enables students to participate easily in outdoor activities with Acadia National Park as our backyard. Revel in the splendour as you explore on your own or with friends. If you want to go to new places on the island – or to wilderness areas that are a little further away – then come along every other week for an afternoon of hiking, canoeing, or sea kayaking nearby. Returning students lead the 6-day Outdoor Orientation Program (OOPs) trips before school starts in the fall, and continue to take students on shorter and longer adventures during the terms as part of our outdoor program, COASTAL. Perhaps a multi-day backpacking trip surrounded by brilliant fall colors, or an adventurous canoeing trip come spring is right up your ally. Of course, since winter is the dominant season here, we lovingly wander into the hinterland for camping experiences in the snow too. So, bring your sense of adventure and we'll journey through the wilderness together in every season. Fear not, you will learn what you need to know to be safe and have fun!
The College's recreational equipment is accessible to all COA community members for free. This includes a boat fleet of ocean kayaks and lake canoes. You may borrow all sorts of camping gear (i.e. sleeping bags, sleeping pads, stoves, cook kits, tents, water jugs, lifejackets, paddles, dry bags, etc.) through the Outdoor Program for short periods of time. If you are taking particular classes or training sessions, you may find yourself in one of the school's white water canoes, or learning how to sail the Rhodes 19 or Sonic 23 sailboats. Students may also find themselves aboard the school's 38' research boat, Indigo. It is used for a variety of field trips and research projects along with other smaller craft. A sailing class is available to those interested each fall term. Another popular activity is scuba diving. Beginners may take a course through the YMCA to learn the basics, while experienced divers are encouraged to join the local MDI diving group to regularly explore the Atlantic from a different vantage point.

What DO you get for Dad? He does so much for the family, works so hard, looks so tired most of the time—not that you'd tell him. Well, this year your gift can do double-time. Not only can you make sure he stays well dressed, you can make sure he gets his rest! The microfiber Pillow Tie is an ingenious design that contains an inflatable PVC pillow. You (or Dad) can access the inconspicuous valve on the underside of the tie and, with less than a breath, create a way to cradle your head and catch a couple clandestine Zzzzs.
