Graduate Student Recruitment
The Biological and Biomedical Sciences Graduate program seeks to recruit the best and brightest to Cornell.
Once the fields make initial admissions decisions, the Biological and Biomedical Sciences Program decides which applicants will be invited to campus to interview during our Recruitment Event. This event is held once a year in early February. Only students within the United States are asked to make a personal visit; international students who are being considered for admission will be interviewed using video-conferencing.
BBS Symposium -
Among the missions of the Biological & Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program (BBS) and the Office of Graduate Education are the fostering of a community among the graduate students and faculty in the BBS Program and to inform the College and University communities about the wealth of research being done by our graduate students and faculty. The Annual BBS Symposium is a means to achieve both of these goals. Graduate student research is highlighted in oral presentations and a poster session.
Graduate Student Orientation
The Biological & Biomedical Sciences Program Orientation takes place in conjunction with Graduate School Orientation in August. Our goal for orientation is to provide you with information to help your transition into graduate school at Cornell and also provide you with opportunities to network with faculty, staff, and graduate students. Representatives from the Office of Graduate Education will be in communication with you about orientation details, but here are some general tips for you to consider.
As soon as you have accepted the offer of admission, it is time to start planning your transition to graduate school and life in Cornell and Ithaca. Getting as much accomplished as soon as you can will help decrease your stress level once classes begin. Cornell has a special web site for new students that not only lets you know what you need to do, but helps you prioritize.
Housing is a good place to start. Since Ithaca is a "college town," housing is sometimes at a premium. You have a few different options for housing: on-campus, off-campus rental or, if your finances allow, home ownership.
Rotation Preparation: During the summer, you should review the web sites of our faculty to decide which faculty you would be interested in rotating with. If you have a question about a faculty member's research, please feel free to contact him or her directly, introduce yourself and ask your questions. Faculty emails are listed on their departmental web pages. We advise you not to choose all three rotations prior to arriving in Ithaca. Concentrate on your first rotation. At orientation, you will have the opportunity to review your faculty selections with the Director of Graduate Studies (DGS). Your DGS will be able to provide valuable insight and suggestions to better help you establish your first rotation. During Orientation, you will likely meet with one or two faculty mentors with whom you would like to rotate. You will confirm your first rotation then.

Regular visitors to and residents of Patuxent River Naval Air Station will no longer need decals on their vehicles to gain access to the base. Starting Monday, July 1, drivers will only need to present a Department of Defense-issued identification card.
But there will be random checks, during which the security team will ask for driver's licenses and proof of insurance and registration. "People should have those things in their vehicle and know where they are" to help keep traffic flowing, said Connie Hemple, Pax River spokesperson.
The base stickers were most often placed on the outside of the driver's-side window, displaying month and year and name of the naval command. The sticker proved that the vehicle was registered with the state, insured and that the driver was authorized to drive the car, said Pax River Security Officer Lt. Troy Niccum.
In March 2011, the Navy said that bases would eventually need to eliminate use of the decals. The Army and Air Force have already eliminated them, he said. Now, the Navy says that state requirements for registration and insurance are becoming more uniform, making the decals a duplicative effort for drivers and adding to the responsibilities of staff in pass offices.
The move is saving about $800,000 across 72 Navy installations, said Tony Reid a program manager at the Naval Installations Command. Reid estimated that Pax River would see a savings of about $11,000. "This is micro-dust in the big picture for programming, but a huge amount of money to the local command," he said.
Pax River's Gate 1 pass office will close July 8, not due to a reduction in administrative requirements, but because of sequestration and furloughs, Niccum said. It's unclear when the office will reopen. Pax River recently made Gate 1 its main entrance, but visitors without DoD identification will be required to go to the pass office at Gate 2 until further notice.
One upside that drivers who live or work at Pax River might notice right away: Lengthy waits at pass offices for those decals will be just a memory.
Reactions on blogs and Facebook pages have ranged from, "finally," to others concerned that no longer requiring the stickers will lead to fewer salutes given to officers entering the gates, since the decals distinguished officers from enlisted personnel.
"Of course," officers will still be saluted, Niccum said. "When they present their identification, that identifies their rank."
People without a DoD identification card will still need to use the pass offices for work-related access, tours and similar activities.
People have a lot of questions, Niccum said, including whether they have to scrape their old stickers off their cars next month. "You don't have to. But you're encouraged to," Niccum said.
One safety concern, he said, was that decals identified motorists who were affiliated with the military. Other issues, according to Naval District Washington, were that stickers might have been transferred from car to car, counterfeited, or left on a vehicle after it had been sold.

Softball Splits First Two Games in Western Kentucky Spring Fling
Friday, March 08, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Mar. 8, 2002) -- The East Tennessee State softball team defeated Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, 3-2, and fell to Bradley, 8-0, Friday in the first two games of the Western Kentucky/Ramada Inn Spring Fling from Bowling Green, Ky. In game one, IUPUI (0-1), took a 2-0 lead by scoring individual runs in each of the first two innings. No more runs would cross the plate until the Bucs (6-8) would tie the game at two in the bottom of the fourth. The big blow of the inning came as freshman third baseman Lindsay Lane (Erwin, Tenn.) hit a two-run homer after a walk by sophomore Julia Chance (Knoxville, Tenn.). The game remained tied through seven innings, so the game had to go to extra innings to decide a winner. The Jaguars went scoreless in the top of the eighth, but the Bucs would plate a run in the bottom of the frame to take the game, 3-2. Freshman catcher Sheryl Clark (Bradenton, Fla.) was the first batter of the inning, and wasted no time lacing a double to left field to score freshman Amy Moore (Jacksonville, Fla.), who was placed on second to begin the inning. Freshman pitcher Courtney Jenkins (Knoxville, Tenn.) went the distance to earn the win for the Bucs. She allowed no earned runs and six hits while striking out five in eight innings. Jenkins is now 2-2 for ETSU on the season. Lane was the star at the plate for the Bucs, going 2-3 with two RBI and a run scored. Game two did not go as well for the Bucs, as Bradley (3-5) scored six unanswered runs in the first three innings and never looked back, defeating ETSU, 8-0. Sophomore pitcher Tiffany Vandergriff (Sale Creek, Tenn.) pitched a complete game, allowing four earned runs and 10 hits while striking out three. Vandergriff runs her record to 2-3 on the season for ETSU. The Bucs could muster just two hits off of Bradley starter Sandra Britt, singles by senior shortstop Melanie Collins (Greeneville, Tenn.) and sophomore first baseman Miranda Byerly (Candler, N.C.). East Tennessee State also played Morehead State in the first day of competition from the Western Kentucky/Ramada Inn Spring Fling, but results are not expected until late Friday night. ETSU's first game on Saturday is against host Western Kentucky at noon.

Recipient: Florida African American Museum Exchange
Pictured: The Afro-American Life Insurance Company, founded 1901 by four African Americans to provide afforable health insurance and death benefits.
Grant: 2006, 2008 Museum Grants for African American History and Culture
Contact: Ms. Althemese Barnes, Executive Director
The Florida African American Museum Exchange (FAAME) is building a robust alliance of African American museums throughout the state of Florida to preserve and present historically significant documents, photos, artifacts, and buildings. The initiative, coordinated by the John Gilmore Riley Center and Museum for African American History in Tallahassee, FL, was funded by 2006 and 2008 Museum Grants for African American History and Culture (AAHC) from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Matching funds were provided by the Florida Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs.
"What's being saved is the history of Africans in the Diaspora who survived through struggles and triumphs," said Althemese Barnes, Riley Center Founding Director and the Florida African American Heritage Preservation Network (FAAHPN) Creator. "The network of museums also focuses on the accomplishments of the descendents of slaves -- sharecroppers, tenant farmers, lay midwives, teachers, craftsmen and religious leaders -- who are the underpinnings of today's middle class."
"African Americans have made significant contributions throughout Florida but, until relatively recently, little had been done to preserve and illuminate their history," she said. In 1973, for example, the local government in Tallahassee planned to demolish the John Gilmore Riley home to erect an electric substation. The community rallied and raised the funds to acquire, restore and reinvent the Riley house as a center for African American heritage preservation. Riley was born in 1857 when slavery was a way of life and educational pursuits for Blacks were illegal. He defied the law of the land and learned to read and write, eventually becoming an educator and the county's first Black principal for 33 years. First restored in 1981, the Riley House went largely unused until 1996 when Barnes established the Riley Center/Museum. She later started the Florida African American Heritage Preservation Network (FAAHPN) to help build the capacity of African American museums across the state, infuse African and African American history into mainstream museums, and equip network museums directors to become involved in the historical preservation movement.
FAAHPN directors said they wanted additional training opportunities, according to a 2006 needs survey supported by the AAHC grant. In response, the Riley Center selected 10 network directors to receive technical support and training in grant-writing, Web site development, partnership building, site upgrading and presence, and strategies to enhance cultural events and exhibitions. In the first year, the museum directors participated in three, four-day training sessions at different locations in Florida: in Tallahassee at the Riley House and Tallahassee Community College; in Jacksonville at the LaVilla African American Museum and in Orlando at the Wells' Built African American museum. At the workshops, directors connected with other museum directors, showcased their sites, and engaged in peer mentoring. The project extended its reach with its "each one-teach one" mentoring, in which each of the directors who attended workshops returned home and shared what they learned with one other African American museum director. FAAME also provided:
Phase I of the FAAME project ends October 31, 2008, with a presentation by the Florida Network Directors on their FAAME experiences at the 2008 Association of African American Museums Conference. Prior to FAAME, the network directors had never attended or made presentations at a national historic preservation conference.
In Phase two of the project, funded by a 2008 AAHC grant from IMLS, seven museum directors will receive intensive training in effective management and preservation of historical collections, which will support a statewide effort to create a central database of collection holdings and a virtual museum. This program is particularly important to the future of historic preservation and heritage education because, with each passing day, dozens of books, papers, photographs, diaries, artifacts, buildings, landmarks and other valuable historical records and resources are lost due to neglect, mishandling, or ignorance of their value, Barnes noted.
One of the original FAAME directors was Clifton Lewis, founding president and volunteer of the L.B. Brown House Museum in Bartow, FL. Like the Riley House in Tallahassee, Lewis and his community's efforts began when they rallied to save a structure built in 1892 by Lawrence Bernard Brown, a Black entrepreneur who had been born into slavery. In addition to the houses that Brown built, he also manufactured parasols and furniture, and dug wells. The museum was able to acquire his detailed records, including a daily log of his transactions.
"What interested me was that, as detailed as his notes were, there were no indications of racial tensions. In other words, if you were an entrepreneur, there might be immunity from racism. We are expanding on the knowledge of African American contributions to Florida," said Lewis. The records were donated to the museum by Brown's son, who is now in his mid-eighties. (Brown was 68 years old when his son was born.) Through the FAAME project, Virginia Key Beach museum curator Anthony Dixon taught Lewis and his staff how to preserve and display the Brown documents.
Like the Brown records, many African American collections are held in private hands, according to Sandy Rooks, executive director of the Pinellas County African American History Museum in Clearwater and a FAAME Director. "Once a person dies, the families don't always see the value of the collections and sometimes just throw them away," she said.
The FAAME initiative is helping raise the visibility and credibility of African American museums, Rooks said. A family, whose patriarch was the first African American police officer in Clearwater, has a historically significant collection, including the officer's police badge and cap. Initially, they were reluctant to donate the items to Rooks's museum, but because FAAME has raised the museum's credibility, it appears that the collection will be donated, she said. "And because of the FAAME workshops, if these items are donated, we know how to handle them correctly and display them for visitors to learn from and enjoy," Rooks said.
Rooks also lauded the project's peer-to-peer mentoring program. Rooks provided information on designing exhibits and programming to Juanita Barton, Rooks's mentee and Director of the Harry T. and Harriette V. Moore Memorial Park and Cultural Center in Mims, FL. The Moores were educators and civil rights activists who were murdered on Christmas night in 1951 when a bomb exploded under their home.
"I've been all over the state looking at what others are doing. Without the IMLS grant, I wouldn't even know these people," Rooks said.
Barnes added, "We are a closely knit group with a mission and a passion. At one time we sought to be included in the mainstream. Now, we are the mainstream.

Steven Frederic Seagal (born April 10, 1952) is an American action film star, producer, writer, martial artist, guitarist and reserve deputy sheriff. A 7th-dan black belt in Aikido, Seagal began his adult life as an Aikido instructor in Japan. He became the first foreigner to operate an Aikido Dojo in Japan. He later moved to the Los Angeles, California, area where he made his film debut in 1988 in Above the Law. By 1991, he had starred in three successful films, and would go on to achieve greater fame in Under Siege (1992), where he played Navy SEALs counter-terrorist expert Casey Ryback. However both On Deadly Ground (1994, which he directed) and Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995) did poorly in theaters. During the later half of the 90s, he starred in three more theatrical films and a direct-to-video The Patriot. Aside from Exit Wounds (2001) and Half Past Dead (2002), his career shifted almost entirely to direct-to-video films (often low budget productions and shot in Europe or Asia). Between 1998 to 2009, he appeared in a total of 22 of these. At the age of 59, he returned to the big screen as Torrez in the 2010 film Machete. As of 2011, he's currently busy with the third season of his reality show Steven Seagal: Lawman.

Fighting the Summer Doldrums with Imagin8ion
Jennifer O'Rourke - July 13th, 2012
How do you challenge yourself to keep your video producing skills fresh when you have no current project to work on? Whether you make video for a hobby or for a paycheck, you need to keep at it to stay abreast of the trends and technology and to keep your skills honed and fresh. But sometimes, especially in the hot dull summer months, you can get a bit bored and not want to do much more than settle in a nearby hammock sipping a fruity refreshment or libation of choice.

This historic print, a SportsPosterWarehouse.com exclusive, is a fascinating look at basketball's two counterculture superstars of the '70s going at each other - Walton being guarded by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar during the 1974-75 season. It was Walton's rookie year in the NBA, and Kareem's final season with the Milwaukee Bucks. The action is awesome, and the style pure '70s - a retro beauty for the wall of any fan. Printed from the original photographic negative, and complete with official NBA serialized hologram, this is both a stunning piece for any fan, and a valuable collector's item for years to come!

Just after looking at a picture of his grandson, the Rev. Richard S. Williams smiled as he explained that in recent weeks Jayden Williams, 6, had lost a few of his baby teeth as his mouth made room for the permanent ones. Even with holes where his teeth were supposed to be, Jayden would smile just as big as ever, Williams said.
Williams said he didn't mind talking about Jayden, who drowned Nov. 3 after he fell into a lake in the Lancaster neighborhood in Waldorf.
Jayden was playing with friends on a concrete structure at a lake near Drake Court in Lancaster when he fell in the water, the Charles County Sheriff's Office reported. The boy's friends ran for help.
Sheriff's officers and volunteer firefighters and paramedics arrived and searched the water. The boy was taken to the University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center in La Plata but died a short time later. The state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled Jayden's death accidental.
Williams said the emergency personnel on the scene that Sunday did all they could for his grandson. He said Jayden's school, C. Paul Barnhart Elementary School, did a wonderful job tending to the family during its time of grief, and the community held a candlelight vigil in the neighborhood for the child.
The question Williams still has is, "Could this tragedy have been prevented, or does another child have to die and another family go through the grief and painful suffering that my family is enduring?"
Williams, of Johnstown Pa., came to Waldorf after the incident to be with his family. He said he walked out to the lake, into a wooded area and up a hill to where the concrete wall that crosses the lake is located. Williams said he had to see where his grandson fell.
While there are no-trespassing signs near the concrete structure, Williams said the wall is easily accessible from one end.
On one end of the wall, a fence with a no-trespassing sign attached to it blocks access. The other end does not have a fence or any kind of deterrent other than the signs, Williams said.
Williams does not have an issue with the neighborhood lake, one of many stormwater management lakes in the St. Charles area. He said the lake is peaceful and tranquil.
The challenge he said is what he called the "wall of death."
While he acknowledges the signs, he said he wonders if they are low enough for children to see and for those who can't read. He said he wonders if the signs could have a red circle with a line through it indicating that access is prohibited.
The Lancaster Neighborhood Association Board of Directors did not comment on an inquiry emailed to them about whether more signs or a fence were feasible or what it would take to get them in place. The board did offer their condolences on the "loss of one of our treasured neighborhood children," in an email to a Maryland Independent reporter.
"Lancaster Neighborhood is a community of parents, children and families, and the entire community has been shocked and shaken by his loss. Our heartfelt condolences are extended to his family, friends and classmates," the statement reads.
Williams said he did not want his grandson's death to be in vain. He said Jayden lived an active life and that his death caused a lot of attention and brought out a lot of love and fellowship. Williams said he can't bring back his grandson, a young boy whom he thought of as a son. He said what he can do is inquire about what things could be done to possibly prevent another child from dying in the same fashion his grandson did.
"There is nothing we can do about my family's loss, but there are other families," he said.

I'm decent in conventional stick, and gas welding. I know nothing about TIG and want one. I restore motor bikes and to some extent cars (30 yrs). What is a great unit that will weld the thin to moderate gauges of aluminum and steel common to bikes (and car body), particularly to vintage machines? Its not uncommon for me to take the control gauges /switches apart and repair/break them.
There a lot of deals out now, but my knowledge of advantages of machine features for my projects is next to nil. Lengthy details are welcome.
BTW :I am very open to a used unit. - issues related to such?

Shopping for TIG
I like your enthusiasm,TIG is a great welding process. Both major equipment manufacturers have a great deal of info on their web. I have two TIG units one is a 1960s H..... large 220 volt primary single phase unit. The bottom current level is not good for welding thin stock.This unit is great for aluminum .250 thick and up.Lots of current. The other unit is very portable M.....110 VAC primary and and I use it to weld stainless, steel tube and various low alloy steel tube. Keep in mind that TIG welding steel and TIG welding aluminum are quite different processes. Have fun.

I started TIG welding when I was 15 on a maxstar with no foot pedal, 5 years later i can say that I learned a lot by using such a basic machine that was harder to use. For starting from scratch I would say get a dynasty but if thats out of the budge then something in the syncrowave family would be good, make sure you get all the options! Pulse welding is awesome once you get it adjusted to your liking and water cooling is very convenient as well. Good luck!

Not sure what your frequency of use would be or your budget is.
I would suggest you take a look at the new Diversion 180 due out in the late spring of 2010!
If this is something you would be using at home, the dual voltage 110 /230 V is a nice feature and the simplicity of the controls may be nice for a set it and go situation. Also, since the case footprint is relatively small, it takes up less space and works well for the home DIY person.
Now, just so know where I'm coming from, I have purchased a Diversion 165 for my personal use. However, I have a Maxstar and Dynasty at our shop and also have a Bobcat on hand. I have been using the Diversion more since it is easier to get situated with and just start and GO! Especially since I have been doing more Aluminum and Stainless.

The Diversion is a great unit to start out with.Miller Diversion 165
Miller Millermatic 251
Miller Trailblazer 302 Diesel
Miller Spectrum 2050
Miller Digital Elite Helmets
Miller Generator/Stick Welder circa 1982
Hobart Beta-Mig 200
Craftsman Stick Welder
Best tig of all!
If you can fork out the cash,the Dynasty 200DX would be the very best you can get.For thin stuff you have pulse tig,for aluminium the thing is absolute perfection and it has enough kick to work thicker material too.Mine is three yrs old and has been flawless.

Agreed Dynasty's are the Caddillac's. I used to have a Synchrowave 185 ( This was before the 200's came out.). It was a great machine, not portable, but great none the less. If you are doing Tig on steel and alum. you need something with a/c -d/c output. Either a Synchrowave or a Dynasty would be my choice.

PITTSBURGH – An emphatic statement was made in the second quarter by Lincoln Park Friday night.
There would be no celebration at the Leopards' expense this year.
Lincoln Park outscored Johnsonburg 35-13 in the second quarter en route to a 96-46 win over the Rams Friday night at North Hills High School in the first round of the PIAA Class A boys basketball playoffs.
"They got up on us real quick, didn't they?" Johnsonburg coach Bill Shuey said. "I think there was a time in the second quarter when we had four possessions and we turned it over four times. They got a 10, 12 point lead. I don't know if that was the difference. Lincoln Park shot the ball very, very well. I don't think they missed too many shots. We had to score with them, we knew that coming in. We had to be patient. I thought we had some good looks, they just didn't fall. There's not much we can do when they break and they're playing above the rim."

Friday, April 19 – Monday, April 22Join us for a special showing of National Geographic Movies' The Last Lions in the Digital Adventure Theater: A National Geographic Experience.
In Botswana's Okavango Delta, an ostracized lioness and her two cubs must fight alone to survive, overcoming all manner of hazard from the raging wildfires on the Delta, to the jealousy of sister lionesses, to the marauding males who kill her mate, to the prey that becomes predator. Their only defense is to escape to Duba Island and with that, an unknown future. The setting for this epic tale is one of the last regions where lions can live in the wild. Faced with dwindling land and increasing pressure from hunting, lions – like our lone lioness and her cubs – are approaching the brink of extinction.
