requirements for admission to the respective colleges of the health science units there. The veterinary medicine program is offered at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
In general, these same programs will also meet the minimum admission requirements to other professional colleges offering degrees in these health sciences. Students wishing to prepare for professional institutions other than The University of Tennessee, Memphis, should consult the catalogs of those schools to determine the specific preparation required for admission. In all cases, final decision for admission rests with the college involved.
Although applicants may be admitted to the College of Dentistry of The University of Tennessee, Memphis, with a minimum of 90 semester hours in academic subjects, preference is given to those who have already completed a baccalaureate. Admissions requirements include 6 hours of English composition, 8 hours of general biology, 8 hours of general chemistry, 8 hours of organic chemistry, and 8 hours of general physics. Upper level biology courses (selected from cellular biology, comparative anatomy, embryology, genetics, histology, microbiology, and physiology) are recommended. A minimum grade point average of 2.5 in all required subjects attempted and in cumulative coursework is normally required for admission. For general electives, courses in calculus, foreign language, literature, biochemistry, social sciences, and behavioral sciences are suggested.
A student in a combined program who is working toward a bachelor's degree from The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga must complete at least 98 hours, including all general education requirements, as well as requirements for a specific major offered by UTC before entering the College of Dentistry. After the successful completion of the first year at the College of Dentistry, the student will be awarded the bachelor's degree from UTC.
Pre-Medical Technology
A student working toward the B.S. in biology degree with a pre-medical technology focus must complete all of the requirements of the degree outlined on pages 74 and 75, as well as specific requirements of the Preprofessional Concentration on page 75. During the senior year of the program, a student will be advised to apply for a certified one-year clinical program in medical technology. Realize that for most medical technology clinical programs students should have completed undergraduate courses in microbiology, immunology, and biochemistry (UTC courses offered that cover these topics are BIOL 311, BIOL 412, and CHEM 466, respectively, and are outlined as part of the Preprofessional Concentration course offerings).
Options for clinical sites include programs throughout Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama. Clinical programs in other areas of the USA might also consider UTC graduates on a case-by-case basis. Be sure to obtain a detailed description of the prerequisites for any clinical program you may consider no later than the second semester of your junior year, particularly for any clinical programs not located in the southeast USA. This will help you and your advisor map out your final year of courses at UTC so that you will have time to complete any unique course requirements of that clinical program. Applications for clinical programs must be submitted during the fall of your senior year for admittance to the clinical program beginning the next summer.
Although most students now earn a bachelor's degree before admission to a college of medicine, some may be accepted with only three years of undergraduate work. Minimum requirements for admission to the College of Medicine of The University of Tennessee, Memphis, include"
- 16 hours of chemistry (8 hours of general and analytical and 8 hours of organic)
- 8 hours of physics (mechanics, heat, light, sound, electricity, and magnetism)
- 8 hours of biology including zoology
- 6 hours of English composition
Strongly recommended additional courses include advanced chemistry (analytical, physical, or biochemistry or chemical instrumentation) advanced biology (cellular biology, embryology, molecular biology, or genetics) calculus, behavioral and social sciences as well as computer science, languages, literature, philosophy, history, and etymology.
A total of 90 semester hours is required for admission if a student is not working toward a bachelor's degree from The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. A degree candidate must complete 98 hours, including all general education requirements as well as requirements for a specific major offered by UTC. The last 24 of the 98 hours must be completed in resident courses at UTC.
Pre-Veterinary Medicine
Although no combined degree program is available in the veterinary medicine field, students at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga may complete all of the courses required for admission to the College of Veterinary Medicine at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Because of the competition for admission to this field as well as to other health fields, students are advised to complete an undergraduate degree program in a major that will offer alternative career opportunities. The following pre-veterinary medicine courses are required:
Courses | Semester Hours |
English 121, 122 | 12 |
Humanities and Social Sciences1 | 18 |
Mathematics 131, 136 or 151/152, 161/162 | 6-8 |
Physics 103/183, 104/184 | 8 |
Chemistry 121/123, 122/124 | 8 |
Chemistry 351/353, 352/354 | 8 |
Biology 121, 122 | 8 |
Biology 325 | 3 |
Biology 328 | 4 |
1May include, for example, courses in English, literature, speech, music, art, philosophy, religion, language, history, economics, anthropology, political science, psychology, sociology and geography.
2Biology 311 may be approved only if Biology 328 is not offered

If you've ever had an iPod Touch/iPhone, you may notice that the error "iPod is disabled – Connect to iTunes" may appear. This is because someone (or something?) has tried to crack your password too many times, which causes the iPod / iPhone to automatically disable itself to protect your data.
To restore your iPod, you must connect your iPod to iTunes with your iPod connector table. Make sure it is on and has this message when you connect it to your computer. Once connected, iTunes should detect it as usual.
Once connected, make sure you have all the proper sync settings enabled — for example, applications, music, photos, etc. Change something so that the Sync button in the bottom right appears in the iTunes window. Then sync the data.
When syncing is finished, turn on your iPod / iPhone and you should notice that the message is gone. Type in your password and the disabled message should be gone.
If the message is still there, try holding the sleep and home button at the same time until the iPod turns off, then continue holding the sleep and home button until a screen with the iTunes logo and a picture of the connector cable appears. This will put your iPod in Restore mode. With this option, you must click the Restore button in iTunes, which will delete all your data on the iPod.
Do you still have any problems? Leave a comment!

Flat Screen Installation Over Fireplace
Flat Screen Installation Over Fireplace
Flat screen installation over fireplace. This is a great example of a professional installation of a Samsung 52 inch LCD television over a fireplace along with a complete surround sound system installed around the TV to give off a fabulous look and presentation. The installation was focused on having a nice, clean look with absolutely no wires and to have all components concealed and controlled inside the cabinet.
The first process of the installation is always measuring and planning before any incision is made. We strive to have the customer's recommendations as much as possible. We always do what the customer wants us to do. Measurements were done a dozen times before anything was done and customer was happy with what we have to do. Next, its go-time with making careful cuts and holes for the television as-well the speakers. The fishing of cables came along nicely with out too much of a hassle. We fished two hdmi cables, audio, component, and ethernet, witch will be plenty for the customer. After dressing up the cables through the wall, we went ahead and mounted the television on a tilting wall bracket. Soon after the mounting, we we completed the installation of all speakers and went to work on the components that are located down inside the cabinets. We wanted to make sure the installation stayed clean by installing a IR repeater system inside the cabinets to control everything.
After all said and done we were very impressed about the looks and operation. This is why we love our job. We enjoy performing installations of all kinds and seeing the customers smile in all that we do. We all strive to make the customer comfortable and most of all, thankful with having Theater Leaders perform the installation.

The Grant County High School Boys soccer team hosted the Henry County Wildcats Sept. 29 at home.
The game started out with an early goal in the beginning of the first half from Joel Hornsby. Hornsby ran the ball up the middle and tapped the ball in with ease. Forrest Schmitt took no chances and followed up Hornsby's goal when he hammered the ball, like a rocket, into the right corner of the goal.

Since I began this heat acclimatization training back in June, I've finally begun to see some nice results. The Bay area has experienced some truly unbelievably hot weather this summer. I've never seen it reach 90+ or even 100 degrees in Palo Alto until this year. However, it's perfect for preparing my body for hard efforts during Ironman.
Every Friday, I've chosen to run mid-afternoon at my favorite park. It's immensely hot, and sometimes I feel foolhardy for training in such hot weather. I prepare my drinks and put extra electrolytes in them. I also back off considerably on pace or else I know I won't make it. Hydration is extremely important and I begin hydrating before I feel thirsty. This has worked well to keep me going. Thankfully, I have also not felt dizzy or nauseaous during running, so a combination of hydration, electrolytes, and heat adaption is definitely working.
This last Friday was a big moment for me. I went out in 95+ degree heat and ran 2:28, finishing 5 loops of my favorite hill loop. I am finding that my mental endurance for the heat has grown a lot, and I don't feel like quitting so much any more due to the oppressiveness of the high temps.
On loop 3, I did begin to worry. One of my discoveries during training in heat was that my legs tend to stiffen up. I think my fascia is protesting the heat and the extra stress it's putting on my body and it starts to lock up and make bending my legs during running a sore affair. I try to loosen up always with some kickbacks during my running and that seems to help. So on loop 3, my legs begin to lock up and I'm worried because I've got 2 more loops to do and I'm wondering whether or not I'm gonna make it.
Miraculously on loop 4, my legs loosen up completely. No more tight fascia at all. Weird. In fact they loosen up so much that I'm able to increase pace for both loops 4 and 5 and am able to complete a nice negative split workout.
All this in 95+ degree weather. Very happy!
I'm not sure that Ironman Florida will be a hot affair. In past years, I've been really lucky at Ironmans that the days have been relatively mild, with the exception of Ironman Austria where the temps were in the mid 80s. But surely I am prepared for a hot race day, as I usually hit the run around 2pm where the day is the hottest.
High temps have been the bane of my racing career and for the first time I think I'm relatively prepared for a hot race day. And if not a hot day, then I'll enjoy running faster in cooler temps.

Carol Zabin Wins the LERA Susan C. Eaton Award
Carol Zabin was selected as a co-winner for the LERA Susan C. Eaton Scholar-Practitioner Research Project Award for 2005. The Center for Labor Research and Education will receive a monetary award to support her research and a plaque that will be presented to her at the LERA annual meeting in Boston this January. Her research will document new labor and consumer strategies to create "better jobs and better care" through unionization in home and community-based long-term care, human services, and early childhood education. Through case studies, interviews and literature review, her analysis will focus on the interrelationship between unionization strategies, the industry structure and political contexts in which the campaigns occur, and the outcomes for workers and consumers.
Congratulations Carol!

"The State Health Insurance Program and Job Mobility: Identifying Job Lock among Working Parents in Near-Poor Households."
We use the introduction of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to assess whether the job mobility and wages of near-poor parents are suppressed through job lock. We exploit differential take up rates among eligible households and stratify adults in these household in to quasi-experimental treatment and control groups. Using data from the 1996 and 2001 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), we first identify working adults whose children meet the SCHIP eligibility criteria. We then separate these workers into two groups: those with employed spouses who have employer provided coverage in their own names and those who do not. For the former group, the introduction of SCHIP is unlikely to relieve job lock since they already had a viable alternative source of coverage. For the latter group, however, SCHIP provides an alternative source of coverage where one previously did not exist. We find a large significant increase in public coverage rates among the children of adults who do not have independently insured spouses (on the order of 10 percentage points). There is no such increase among adults with insured spouses. Corresponding to these differential take up rates are differences in the change in job mobility. Among workers without insured spouses, we observe a 6 percent point increase in the likelihood that the worker separates from their current employer within one year after SCHIP is implemented. We see no comparable change in mobility among those with insured spouses. This relative pattern survives regression adjustment for observable demographic characteristics, the household's position in the income distribution and a host of other controls. Finally, we find no effect of the increased mobility on relative wages.

"Impact of Wal-Mart Growth on Earnings throughout the Retail Sector in Urban and Rural Counties"
Using a database of Wal-Mart store openings (from Emek Basker), and the county level Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, we estimate the effect of Wal-Mart on earnings of retail workers during the 1990's economic expansion (1992-2000). We exploit the pattern of Wal-Mart expansion (expanding outward from Arkansas over time) to predict Wal-Mart store openings, allowing us to control for endogeneity using both instrumental variable and control function approaches. We find that in urban counties, a Wal-Mart store opening led to a 0.5% to 0.8% reduction in average earnings of workers in the general merchandise sector, and a 0.8% to 0.9% reduction in average earnings of workers in the grocery sector. This translated into a combined 1.3% reduction in total earnings (wage bill) of workers in these sectors. Endogeneity causes the OLS estimates to be biased downwards in magnitude, primarily from an omitted variables bias. No earnings impact was found for rest of the retail sectors or for restaurants (the latter being an auxiliary test of our identification strategy). In contrast, in non-MSA (i.e., rural) counties, a Wal-Mart store opening was associated with an increase in earnings of general merchandise workers, and a decrease in earnings of grocery workers, but no significant change in the wage bill. We estimate that in 2000, total earnings of retail workers nationwide was reduced by $4.7 billion due to Wal-Mart's presence.

"Firm Heterogeneity in Capital labor Ratios and Wage Inequality"
This paper documents the increasing dispersion of capital-labor ratios across firms in the US and provides some empirical evidence of a positive correlation at the two-digit industry level between the dispersion of capital-labor ratios across firms and residual wage inequality. To explain this empirical fact, the paper adopts a search model where firms differ in their optimal capital investment. The exogenous decline in the relative price of equipment capital makes the distributions of capital-labor ratios more dispersed. In a frictional labor market, this force generates wage dispersion among identical workers. OLS estimates of the relationship between capital dispersion and the relative price of equipment capital support the main hypothesis of the model.

"Democratization Within Democracy: Authoritarianism and Passive Democratization in Spain and Italy."
What is the connection between civic associationism and political participation? Recent work in the neo-Tocquevillian traditions suggest that civic associationism encourages political participation. In contrast more conservative readings of Tocqueville, and Gramsci's analysis of civil society, suggest that civic associations tend to undermine, rather than promote political participation. Indeed this is one of the major reasons that Tocqueville saw civic associations as important guarantors of liberty. We investigate these competing arguments by analyzing the connection between authoritarian regime type and political participation in Italy and Spain. The Italian fascist regime sought to eliminate civic associations of all types, incorporating them systematically into the party. The Franco regime, in contrast, had no such ambitions, and left a relationship between civic associationism and political participation causally, because the "treatment" is prior to the outcome, and as we will show is connectted to it through historically specifiable mechanisms. We find, quite paradoxically from the perspective of the neo-Tocquevillians, that Italian facism tended to promote political participation by establishing a pattern of political behavior in which parties subordinated and instrumentalized civic associations. Spanish authoritarianism, with its more laissez faire orientation to civil society, left a legacy of deep political apathy. Paradoxically, from the perspective of the neo-Tocquevillians, the more 'totalitarian' fascist regime, produced a more 'participatory' liberal democracy, than the 'less totalitarian' Franco dictatorship.

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - APD says it's paying extra attention to the holidays this year, giving holiday drunk drivers a free ride to jail, but there's another free option that's a lot safer.
Police are stepping up patrols to find those driving after having a few too many Christmas spirits.
There has been no shortage of Bernalillo County drivers hauled into MDC for a holiday behind bars.
From Christmas Eve thru Tuesday afternoon, there have been more than a half dozen DWI arrests.
"Last year, just last year, 75 people were arrested in Bernalillo County were arrested for driving while intoxicated on Christmas and New Year's Day alone, New Year's Eve," Mayor R.J. Berry said.
APD says they see in increase in holiday arrests every year.
"We make more arrests every year during the holiday season with people who it's their first arrest or their first encounter with law enforcement in many cases," Chief Ray Schultz said.
Santa isn't the only one working on Christmas, APD is stationing 20 more officers on the roads to conduct random patrols and specifically look for drunk drivers.
"The last thing we want to do is ruin somebody's Christmas," Schultz said.
With little open on Christmas Day, there was still a free option to get home.
Tavern Taxi, Bernalillo County's free taxi service, was open for Christmas.
It's provided thousands of rides since thanksgiving 2011 and it's a lot better than the alternative. Tavern Taxi will also be running New Year's Eve.
There's a proposal to strengthen DWI penalties that state lawmakers will consider next year.
A habitual drunk driver can get as much as twelve years in prison if the changes are approved.

Posted: 1:50 p.m. Thursday, March 1, 2012
The New York Daily News and other media are reporting that former Florida Gator Tim Tebow is romantically linked to country singer Taylor Swift.
The Daily News says the couple was seen arriving at a restaurant together, and "after dinner, he walked her out, and then he walked back in to join two other people."
The source did add, however, that "they may have been with their agents," which could indicate that the two were meeting for business purposes.
Swift and Tebow were reportedly spotted chatting it up at WME's pre-Oscars bash just last week as well. The two are represented by the same talent agency.
The American Red Cross is helping people in the Midwest with shelter, food, relief supplies and emotional comfort after tornadoes over the weekend destroyed homes and left thousands without power.

For the anon! :D These curls aren't as spirally, but the shape is elegant and versatile, and looks cute tucked behind an ear. Maybe you could also consider a side shave? (This is from salonstylepins.com)
anon with the curly hair here, bad quality and obviously it's already fairly short but even some ideas for still short styles to grow it into? (sorry about size of pics—don't really know how to change it)
just got my pixie look back!
loving it!
Haven't noticed any La Roux pictures on here… I think she has awesome short hair! Plus I think she's cool because a lot of women think they need super feminine features to "pull off" short hair, but I think La Roux shows this isn't necessarily true!

This is fabulous!
posted 5 years ago
I found this and bought it on a whim, and boy! This is the most fun! I get such a kick out of watching the cats try to get at the suspended mice and really try to work it! I have one cat too cool for toys, but she thought this one was a challenge, and didn't think twice about getting her paws in it and trying to best it.
Better luck next time, Lucy!
Pros: Keeps the most snooty cat entertained
Cons: tough when you trip over it!

This is not cool. I would not want to look like a crazy person talking in public spaces without a phone or headset in reach...nor do I want that speaker to read out loud my messages or who is calling me or other private stuff. I'm very sure this trend will never catch on.

You clearly didn't read the article or check out the source. The speaker is attached to you, not hidden like a bluetooth ear piece...most of the time, I see people who look like they're talking to themselves and only when they turn do I notice an ear bud.

Read the article and you will see how it states people around you would not hear the other person... "The speaker is designed to provide clean sound to the wearer, but beyond a distance of about one foot, the sound waves will sound scrambled. People will be able to tell you are on a call, but they will not be able to hear your better half griping about forgetting to pick up some milk on the way home."

Yankees will have a new identity | | Print | |
Written by Jim Mancari (Contact & Archive) on March 14, 2013
But if Rivera keeps his word on 2013 being his last professional season, his career will likely end without capturing his sixth World Series title. That's because the Yankees' roster has changed dramatically this offseason, between losing players to free agency and a recent string of injuries. When the Yankees traded for Ichiro Suzuki last summer, it meant that all nine of the team's starters had at least one All-Star appearance. But even so, the lineup featuring Derek Jeter, Nick Swisher, Robinson Cano, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, Curtis Granderson, Raul Ibanez, Russell Martin and Ichiro could not advance past the Detroit Tigers in the ALCS. Photo by Keith Allison, used under creative commons license.
This was a team that relied heavily on home runs with a simple formula: If they hit home runs, they usually won, and when they did not, they often lost. From this lineup, Swisher signed with the Indians, Ibanez with the Mariners and Martin with the Pirates. Those three eliminate 64 combined home runs from last season. Rodriguez will miss at least half the season dealing with his hip injury. Granderson and Teixeira were each recently injured in spring training games, aand they'll also miss a chunk of time. That's another 85 home runs right there. While at least Granderson and Teixeira will eventually return to the lineup, that is a significant chunk of offense to be missing. Jeter is also coming off injury, which further adds to the question marks surrounding the Bronx Bombers. Players like Brett Gardner, Eduardo Nunez, Juan Rivera, Kevin Youkilis, Francisco Cervelli and the newly-signed Ben Francisco will fill in when needed. These guys can all be good role players, but to have them fill in for extended time -- other than maybe Youkilis -- is asking a ton. The situation seems so desperate right now that Yankees general manager Brian Cashman reached out the retired Chipper Jones in an attempt to bring in some offense. Jones was not interested. Cashman has also been in contact with former slugging first baseman Derrek Lee, who did not play at all last season, and Scott Rolen, who is also likely heading toward retirement. Rather than rely on the long ball this season, a combination of small ball and strong pitching will be the Yankees' emphasis. The starting rotation is a bit on the old side, but if Andy Pettitte and Hiroki Kuroda can stay healthy and complement C.C. Sabathia, the Yankees will still be competitive. Phil Hughes is slowly returning to the mound after dealing with bulging discs in his back. Ivan Nova is also in the mix for a starting spot. Of course, if the Yankees can get the ball to Rivera with the lead in the ninth inning, consider the game over. But it won't be as easy this year as in years past. Even if Rivera hangs up his spikes after this season without the Yankees winning the World Series, he'd still have enough rings to fill a whole hand.
