What Will the Solar Panel Costs Be for My Home?
If you're considering converting to solar power in your home, you're making a great choice. It's not only one of the cleanest forms of renewable energy available today, it's also great for the planet. One of the main reasons why more people don't switch over to solar energy is because of the solar panel costs. The good news, though? The costs of solar panels have drastically fallen in the last few years.
It's Cheaper Now than Ever Before
Solar panels have traditionally been pretty expensive to install. While you're sure to make your money back over the years in terms of savings on your electricity usage, it's still hard to pay out a lot of money up front. As of three years ago, the cost to install a solar panel energy system on an average size home in California would set you back between $30,000-$35,000. Today, with the increased inventory and falling demand, the solar panel costs have really fallen. There are also many rebates, tax credits, and other discounts that can bring the total cost down to a little over half of that!
Choosing the Right Solar Panel for Your Home and Your Budget
There is a lot more to consider than just solar panel costs when you are choosing panels for your home. First, you will want to determine how many panels you'll need. Most homeowners try to get 40 to 50 percent of their electricity from solar panels. You'll need to check how many kilowatts of power your family uses in a month's time. You can then look for solar panels that can produce what you need. If you need 200 watt panels, those will be twice as expensive as the 100 watt panels. The installation costs will also need to be figured in.
Most solar panels come with a 10 to 25 year warranty. The longevity of the panel will affect the solar panel costs, but it's worth it to purchase the best panels you can afford. The efficiency of the panels will differ as well. If your home has a large area of sun exposure, then you should consider monocrystalline or multi-crystalline panels. For homes with partial shading, then an amorphous panel is your best choice for the most efficiency. Amorphous panels produce the least amount of electricity and they also take up more room than other panels. Speak with a solar panel company that can explain which options are best for your home.
A Few Final Thoughts
Solar panel costs are expected to continue to fall for the next year or so. This is in part due to a struggling economy. This industry is feeling the pinch, as are many others. If you have been considering installing a solar energy system, then now is the right time to move on it. You can see a significant reduction in your electricity costs and the savings will help pay for the solar panel costs over the next few years. You are also doing a small part to help the world's population become less dependent on fossil fuels.
Solar Panel Costs Tip #1
There are some used solar panels available for sale. If you think this is the way you want to go, make sure you know where the panels came from, how old they are, and if they will need repairs. It can be expensive to rebuild these panels and you may end up spending more in the long run than if you just purchased new panels.
Solar Panel Costs Tip #2
Before you choose a company to complete the installation process, make sure you get several written quotes to compare different companies. You want to be sure the warranty information is listed, as is the expected time to install the panels.
Solar Panel Costs Tip #3
You'll also want to check the credentials of any company that you are considering hiring for the installation. There have been reports of many scams and you certainly don't want to be swindled out of that kind of money! Contact your local Better Business Bureau to see there are any unresolved complaints and make sure you ask for a business license and insurance.

Gay Life July 2012
Changes and Constants
Change is inevitable. It is, in fact, the only constant (thank you Heraclitus and La Rochefoucauld). Having been with Gay Life for 18 months, I've already witnessed my share of change in the community. While I've enjoyed new additions, and I've loved getting to know new contributors, staff and board members, some changes are not as enjoyable. While we say goodbye to Trevor Ankeny—GLCCB Board President, Pride Committee Chair, Gay Bingo Aficionado—I'm grateful that I made a friend in the community.
And for a few "hellos," the GLCCB welcomes three new board members: Club Hippo Owner Chuck Bowers, Gender Rights of Maryland's Sharon Brackett, and Marylanders for Marriage Equality's Rachael Stern. Look for detailed bios for all board members soon on GLCCB.org.
What's another constant we can rely on? Having a blast at Pride of course! Check out our four-page photo spread (p. 24) and see if the cameras caught you enjoying our community at its best.

A Florida-based airlilne has been chosen to run air service between Macon and Atlanta for the next two years.
The U.S. Department of Transportation picked Silver Airways, based in Fort Lauderdale.
Under their order, Silver will provide one round-trip flight to Atlanta each weekday and one weekend flight -- a total of six a week.
The airline will also provide six round-trip flights a week to Orlando.
They'll use 34-passenger Saab 340B aircraft, according to the federal order.
The Department of Transportation approved an annual subsidy of $1,998,696 a year to Silver for the next two years.
They were one of four bidders for the Macon-Atlanta service; the others all asked for federal subsidies between $1.5 million and $2.5 million a year.
Macon Mayor Robert Reichert sent the federal agency a letter supporting the Silver bid. He wrote that the combined Orlando and Atlanta services would put Macon "in the center of a busy transportation route."
The flights to Atlanta are considered "essential air service" under federal transporation policy, and that qualifies them for subsidies.
But even with those subsidies, other airlines have had trouble keeping the service going.
The current airline, Georgia Skies, asked for permission to pull out of the Macon service because ridership is too low. Just under 1,400 passengers boarded flights in Macon during fiscal 2012 -- about 27 a week.

I bring the story up, though, because yesterday police jack-hammered the concrete garage floor in a home at 1106 – 1108 Masonic Ave. in a search for his remains. Apparently there was once an individual who lived at that address that was a person of interest in his disappearance. That person was never charged with a crime and is long since gone. The current building occupants are in no way associated with the case or suspected of involvement.
California law requires sellers to disclose any material fact about a home to potential buyers, and when it comes to deaths or murders, any crime that was "notorious" is pretty much a permanent property disclosure. But this particular property doesn't fall neatly into that category. The building was never identified as the site of a crime scene, and until this week no one had taken the house apart in a search for remains.
How would it feel to wake up one morning and have the police knocking at your door with a search warrant to jack-hammer out your garage floor to search for the remains of a 10 year old boy that has been missing since 1984? I have to say I think it would feel absolutely bizarre, but I also don't see how you can blame anyone for not telling you that along time ago a strange person lived in the building… If "a long time ago an odd individual lived here" was to become a disclosure item, there probably isn't a house in SF that wouldn't have that box checked "Yes!"
All of that said, it is a heartbreaking story and while I have sympathy for the current building owners and building occupants, my heart truly goes out to the family of Kevin.

Photos: Luke Bryan rules the night at the 2012 American Country Awards
Travel to Las Vegas, and you pray for at least a couple of 21's at blackjack or similar. You don't expect to hit the jackpot seven times! But that's exactly what Luke Bryan did in winning nearly everything at Monday's 3rd Annual American Country Awards at Mandalay Bay Events Center and broadcast on Fox.
Last year, it was Jason Aldean who broke the bank with his string of seven successes. This time, it was cool hand Luke with the most, including the coveted Artist of the Year, plus, Male Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Single of the Year and Music Video of the Year, among others.
"I am rendered speechless," he managed to blurt out backstage. "I don't know how to formulate a series of words that can truly tell how appreciative I am."
"American Idol" Season 3 winner Carrie Underwood extended her winning streak with Female Artist of the Year and Single of the Year Vocal Collaboration with Brad Paisley on "Remind Me." That totaled 11 ACA wins since 2010, the most honors of any artist.
She joked that with the NHL canceling another 109 games in the players feud, she'd get more time with hubby Mike Fisher of the Nashville Predators once the superstar singer-songwriter's 55-city tour ends.
Lady Antebellum won for Artist of the Year: Group and Single of the Year: Group, which, added with their five previous awards, makes them the group with the most ever.
The show's results are determined solely by fan voting, and this year's new touring category was won by Jason Aldean. More curious, though, was Jake Owen's win for Breakthrough Artist of the Year. He said backstage that in 2009, he won a similar award, but then vanished from the country music scene, returning this past year to pick up his career for a second go-round.
As expected, it was a night of superstars, but also surprises and odd occurrences. Perhaps the oddest of all was the farewell from 6-foot-6 host Trace Adkins squeezed into a holiday elf outfit with his 4-foot-11 co-host Kristin Chenoweth as a female Santa. Trace's holiday hooker line was mild in comparison to her remark earlier when wearing a Honey Boo Boo costume when she laughed that her underwear had vanished up her butt.
Rio headliners Penn & Teller mystified by taking Trace's 10-gallon Stetson (I've never seen him bare-headed) and putting in five photo cards of the nominees before using his own static electricity in a comb to wave above the hat and pull out the winner's name, Miranda Lambert's "Over You" for Single of the Year. She also won Video of the Year and Most Played Female Radio Track.
Other presenters included rodeo champ Trevor Brazile, Mirage headliner comic Ron White with his funny mother, San Francisco Giants players Brandon Belt and Barry Zito and Las Vegas regular and pinup Carmen Electra, although their connection to country music and the awards remains unknown.
It was a music spectacular perfect for Las Vegas at the midpoint of the 2012 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo at the Thomas & Mack Center. Now to find Luke, hit the casino and stay on that winning streak!

for $300 buck I think it should have more exchangeable options to equip with items, like Apparel, swords, boots, shields, mage robes, ale...etc. Also a pull string that has different things Dragonborn might say, like Fus Ro Dah, arrow in the knee, what is a thane and Lydia I love you. In addition, statue of Barbas should accompany it as well. Where would I be without Barbas? Even if I do have to cart around that stupid Ax to keep him around. I just can't ever use it or Barbas jumps in front of it and gets killed every night mother loving time.
@DovahkiinGirl Also, I forgot to mention that you have convinced me to stop everything I'm doing and go recruit Barbas. I hate followers because they always get in the way of my arrows, but Barbas is short!
@DovahkiinGirl After looking at this article, I thought "How cool would it be to have a plush, Woody-style Dovahkiin with a pull string?" And your comment was the first on this list. I LOVE the idea! I think I love you too... JK xD
And I agree about exchangeable options. I'd much rather pay for something focusing on customization than something fancy. Customization is one of the Elder Scrolls games' greatest strengths. Bring that strength to life, Bethesda!
A pull string Sheogorath plush would be great, too. "Oh, and the CHEESE!"


text: Beer can transforms into virus-shaped Decepticon 08 June 11 by Olivia Solon Tweet CAN you see my robot?Ryosuke Tajima Amateur robot enthusiast Ron Tajima has created a stealth transformer robot concealed in a beer can, controlled by a Wii-mote.In his video post above, Japanese Tajima demonstrates the CanBot's abilities to transform from a regular cylindrical beer can into a virus-shaped Decepticon. In a split second, the lower two thirds of the can pops out into three segments, making it appear like a three-legged spider or a complex virus. The legs can then shuffle (somewhat awkwardly) in any direction.The device is controlled by a Wii-mote and features an mbed microcontroller with four AA batteries for power. Each of the three legs has two radio-controlled servos and can move sideways and up and down. There are three basic commands -- extend the legs, stand (where the top half of the can raises) and walk. Pressing the home button on the Wii-mote causes it to instantly return to its can-shape.Not only can it walk when standing, it can also use the legs to propel itself into a roll when it's on its side.Check out the video above -- entitled "Can you see my robot?" (I'm pretty sure there's a non-PG version of that game) -- ideal for freaking your friends out at the end of a messy night. Tajima has a track record for creating robots and documenting them via his longjie0723 YouTube channel. Edited by Nate Lanxon Comments Fantastic, this is a great little project.

Saco, Maine - Shatajah Wattely finished her distinguished Montville High School career Saturday by earning All-New England honors in two events at the New England Interscholastic Track and Field Championship.
Wattely, who broke her school record with a 12.03 in the preliminaries of the 100 meters, finished second in the finals of the event in 12.13 seconds. Shellyann Lindo of McMahon in Norwalk, who was third when Wattely won the State Open title in the 100 earlier in the week, finished first in 11.75 seconds.
Wattely was fifth in the 200 Saturday in 24.99 seconds and ran as a part of the Indians 4x100 relay, which also qualified for the meet. The relay, consisting of Alana Lopes, Natalie Bowens, Lauren Hess and Wattely, was 11th in 50.49.
"Yes, she was happy," Montville coach Joel Finnegan said of Wattely's performance. "It's been a wonderful four years. I feel as though she accomplished a great deal. There was a little disappointment in not winning, but the girl who beat her ran a great, great race."
In the boys' meet, the highlight was a third-place finish by the Waterford 4x100 relay team, consisting of Bishme Sheppard, Y-Kim Sheppard, Dakota Jones and Chris Jones. The Lancers finished in 43.11 seconds.
Among the other top local girls' finishers, Norwich Free Academy's Brianna Lenehan was eighth in the 800 (2:15.43) and ran a leg of the Wildcats fifth-place 4x400 team (3:57.50). Lenehan was joined by MiaLynne Park, Camille McKenzie and Dyshelle Pemberton in the relay.
Ledyard's Kylie Fustini was sixth in the discus at 124 feet, 5 inches.
NFA's boys' 4x800 team, with Dan Cardin, Derek French, Kyle Liang and Andrew Weiler, was 10th in 8:08.45.

Only "someone like her" can do that.
Adele becomes the first British female artist to sell 10 million copies of an album in the US. This is based on Nielsen SoundScan data. Adele's hugely successful album '21' was released in 2011, and spawned worldwide hits like Rolling in the Deep and the brokenhearted's perpetual anthem—Someone Like You.
'21' is the third album to cross the 10-million mark in 2012, after Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory and Usher's Confessions. However, it has been the fastest to reach that milestone—in less than 2 years—within the last decade.
The soul singer is on a break at the moment after giving birth to her son earlier this year—and is enjoying the success of her latest song, the theme from the James Bond flick, Skyfall, which is said to be the most critically acclaimed 007 film ever.

REL6176 Comparative Religious Ethics
This course focuses on scholarly debates concerning the method and purpose of the comparative study of religious ethics. We begin with the discussion surrounding Little and Twiss' 1978 proposal, Comparative Religious Ethics. We then move to Scott Davis 2012 work, Believing and Acting. From that point, we will take up a number of studies that are usually counted as significant contributions to comparative ethics, with an eye toward answering the questions: are some of these works better than others? If so, why?

Saint Andrews Cross Spider Mindoro Oriental Philippines Mar 2009 |
Saint Andrew's Cross SpiderArgiope keyserlingi St Andrew's Cross Spiders are named for their bright web decorations - zig-zag ribbons of bluish-white silk that form a full or partial cross through the centre of the orb web. Females have a silvery carapace and a silver, yellow, red and black banded upper abdomen with two longitudinal yellow stripes below. The spider sits with the legs in pairs. The brown and cream coloured males are smaller than females (body lengths 3 - 4 mm and 10 - 16 mm respectively). Distribution Ecology/Lifestyle The role of the cross-like web decoration, called the stabilimentum, has long been a puzzle. At first thought to strengthen or "stabilise" the web, more recent ideas associate it with capturing prey or avoiding predators. The ribbon-like silk reflects ultra-violet light strongly. Such light is attractive to flying insects, which use it to locate food sources like flowers and to navigate through openings in the vegetation. If the stabilimentum silk attracts insects it may increase the web's prey catching efficiency. The silk decoration could also make the web and its owner more obvious to day-active predators like birds and wasps. However, the variability of the shape of the cross decoration (a complete cross; a partial cross with from 1 to 3 arms; or sometimes absent altogether) could make web recognition confusing for the predator. Another possibility is that the stabilimentum advertises a warning to predators like birds to stay away - after diving through the sticky web, the effort required to clean silk off plumage may deter birds from trying again. The cream-coloured young spiders make a circular stabilimentum (like a white silk doily) that disguises them well and may also act as a sunshade. As the spider grows the "doily" is gradually transformed into a "cross". When threatened, the spider responds, either by dropping from the web or shaking it so vigorously that both spider and stabilimentum become a blur, confusing its attacker. These measures don't always succeed, as indicated by empty, damaged webs and the presence of these spiders as food in the mud cells of wasps. Mating occurs in summer-autumn and can be hazardous for the small males. One or more males sit in the upper parts of the web - some may be missing legs, survivors of encounters with unreceptive females. The male constructs a mating thread within the web, onto which it attracts a receptive female by vibrating the thread. The female suspends its pear-shaped egg sac in a network of threads, often among leaves where the sac's greenish silk disguises it. Despite this, the egg sacs are often the target of parasitic wasps and flies. Human Interaction / Threats No threats identified. References Web References: |

MA or PhD in Physiology & Biophysics
The Department of Physiology & Biophysics at the Boston University School of Medicine offers programs leading to the MA or PhD degrees. Each program stresses laboratory training and original research performed under the direction of a faculty member, as well as satisfactory performance in graduate coursework.
In the first and second years of both the MA and PhD programs, a core curriculum of biophysics and physiology is supplemented with Foundations in Biomedical Sciences courses. The course program emphasizes flexibility and individual choice. In the first year, students do research rotations in the laboratories of three or four faculty to gain firsthand knowledge of a variety of research areas.
At end of the first year, students select a degree advisor and begin laboratory research towards the PhD degree. In the second year students continue to take courses and PhD students must pass a qualifying exam. Throughout their training, students also participate in a weekly department seminar series and report their research progress annually.
Purpose and Background
The Department of Physiology & Biophysics, under the aegis of Dr. David Atkinson as chair, brings together 21 active faculty members to provide excellence in research and graduate education. Research interests in the department span the modern areas of cellular physiology and molecular biophysics, with strong concentrations in structural biology, vision research, muscle physiology, and the biology and physical chemistry of lipids. The faculty is nationally and internationally recognized as leaders in their chosen areas of research. The department provides flexible graduate programs with pathways either leading towards a degree in physiology or in biophysics. The department offers these two programs in a strong, collegial environment to encompass and promote the diverse overlapping research of all members of the department.
The goal of a combined program in Physiology & Biophysics is to produce graduate students who understand the thermodynamic, chemical, electrical, and structural aspects of biological systems at the atomic level and in the context of the cell and organism. This goal is particularly timely as it is in tune with the National Institutes of Health initiatives that encourage training across scientific and medical disciplines. The training will provide graduates the advantage of learning Physiology & Biophysics in the context of the regulation of homeostasis and pathogenicity of the cell, and of the organism as a whole. Graduates will be able to communicate and collaborate effectively with a broad range of disciplines ranging from medical personnel to chemists, engineers, and physicists.
A set of required core courses will be taken by the students in the first year that will lead to a level of understanding of the two disciplines necessary for a degree in Physiology & Biophysics. After completing the core course requirements, students have flexibility to choose the appropriate additional coursework for their interests, within the guidelines set out below. The courses for first year students are chosen with the guidance of members of the duly constituted Student Admissions & Affairs Committee (SAAC), and in the second year with input from their MA or PhD advisor. Students who successfully complete the program are awarded either an MA or a PhD in Physiology & Biophysics.
Similar paths for PhD and MD/PhD students
Requirements for PhD and MD/PhD students are similar. Students in the PhD program take their qualifying examination in their second year. MD/PhD students enter after completing the second year Medical Curriculum and are therefore treated as post-master's students with a lower course and credit requirement (32 versus 64 total credits), and take their qualifying exam at the end of their first year in the program.
Other students entering into the programs with a master's degree from within the U.S. are treated similarly and take their qualifying examination at the end of the first year. In both cases, post-master's students are able to choose a suitable set of courses tailored to their backgrounds and research interests, with input from the SAAC during the first year and from their advisor in following years.
Transfer students are handled on a case-by-case basis, but may be able to take the qualifying examination at the end of their first year.
The MA programs
Master's programs in Physiology & Biophysics are offered. In some cases, a qualified MA student may proceed into the PhD program. This decision will be handled by the SAAC on a case-by-case basis. An MA requires 32 credit hours (paid for by the student) and requires either a literature-based thesis or a short laboratory-based thesis with two readers from within the department.
The Path of a Graduate Student
Special Topics Seminar course (GMS BY 871, 872: 8 credits spread over 4 semesters)
In the first and second years, all students take the Special Topics Seminar course aimed at developing the student's ability to read the scientific literature and present the merits and/or deficits of a current research paper in front of other students and a proctoring faculty member. The students use a blackboard and computer projector during their presentations. This component of the course meets for 1 hour each week, as specified by the faculty member proctoring the class.
Typically, all students present at least once each semester, and possibly more often, based on the number of enrolled students. An important complement to the student presentations is attendance at the weekly Physiology & Biophysics Seminar Series, where the students are exposed to cutting-edge research by outstanding speakers.
Post-bachelor's students take 3 semesters (6 credits), while post-master's, MD/PhD, MA, Cell & Molecular Biology (CMB), and Neuroscience students who enter into laboratories within the department take 2 semesters (for a total of 4 credits).
The faculty member who teaches this course is rotated after each semester to allow a fresh viewpoint and area of expertise to be covered. The Chair of the SAAC, with input from the Program Steering Committee, selects 6–8 faculty members who are interested in teaching this course on a rotating basis.
Laboratory rotations
The rotation program seeks to broaden the scientific and laboratory experience of new graduate students, while also providing the opportunity to evaluate possible PhD advisors. The guidelines for this process are presented in a natural sequence or timeline for the first year in graduate school:
- Students are assigned a temporary desk within an appropriate laboratory that may be used as a home base during their initial 6–8 weeks in the program. Laboratories are selected carefully by the SAAC from a list of faculty who have volunteered to act as hosts. This list is updated yearly.
- To facilitate interactions between faculty and new students, a Laboratory Fair is held within the first 6–8 weeks of the fall semester. The fair starts in September and groups of faculty (2–4) meet with the entire class of students for 1 to 2 hours. Scheduling is coordinated by the SAAC and the entire fair takes place over a period of 4–6 weeks, with 1–2 meetings per week. September and October are an intensive time for the students, as they will be attending classes and the fair simultaneously. Thus, there is no formal rotation during the first half of the fall semester.
- Students participate in a Departmental Retreat, held at the end of September or beginning of October, in which faculty, students and post-docs from individual laboratories give oral presentations and present posters that highlight the projects in their laboratories.
- Generally, students participate in three rotations (8 weeks each), with the possibility of a fourth if they are undecided about the choice of a thesis advisor after the first three rotations are completed. The SAAC strongly encourages new students to choose at least one rotation in an area that is distinct from their major area of research interest. For example, a student who chooses two rotations in structural biology laboratories (such as X-ray crystallography, EM, or NMR) is encouraged to choose another rotation from an entirely different area within the department. If this does not happen, members of the SAAC meet with the student and try to work out a suitable rotation that fulfills this requirement. Where possible, the SAAC schedules rotations such that only one student is rotating in a laboratory in a given rotation slot.
Upon completion of the Laboratory Fair, students are asked to submit three names (rank ordered) for their first fall rotation to the SAAC, which then sets up a schedule that attempts to honor the first choice of most students. Near the end of the fall semester, the students provide either two or three names for their spring rotation(s). Students choose a PhD advisor by early June, at the end of the first year (unless a fourth rotation is required). The SAAC oversees this process.
Student Seminars
In years 3–5, or starting with the spring term after the qualifying examination has been completed, all graduate students will present a 20–30 minute seminar on their thesis research. These seminars form a logical extension of the departmental Seminar Series and the Special Topics course and take place on a specified Student Seminar Day (or days) scheduled in April or May. Pre-thesis committee members for a presenting student take notes on the quality of the presentation and meet with the student within 2–3 days, on either a one-to-one basis or in small groups with other committee members, to provide feedback with the goal of improving the student's presentation skills.
Student Posters Presentations
Students who have completed their qualifying exams present a poster during Russek Day in the spring of each year, to improve their organization and presentation skills. These students also present their posters at the Departmental Retreat held each fall. In addition, students are encouraged to enter their posters in the Science Day poster competition held at the Boston University Charles River Campus.
Course Requirements
Incoming PhD and MA students are required to take 4 modules from Foundations in Biomedical Sciences, including Protein Structure, Cell Dynamics, and Cellular Physiology (FC 701, 703, 705; 12 credits total). To allow flexibility for the breadth of the fields of physiology and biophysics, yet ensure a working knowledge of both, students are required to take a minimum of one physiology course and one biophysics course. The acceptable physiology courses are: Cell Physiology (FC 705, 3 cr), or Human Physiology A and B (PH 730 and PH 731, 4 cr each, total of 8 cr). The acceptable biophysics courses are: Biophysics of Macromolecular Assemblies (PH 771, 4 cr) or Foundations of Biophysics and Structural Biology (BY 760, 4 cr).
Elective coursework is chosen jointly by the student and their advisor or thesis committee. To achieve a balanced curriculum for all students, the PhD degree requirements of the Division of Graduate Medical Sciences include a minimum of 24 credits in formal coursework. It is expected, although not required, that the formal course work credits are acquired prior to the qualifying examination at the end of the second year. Beyond 32 coursework credits, students are encouraged to informally audit courses following consultation with their thesis committee. Students who have already taken an appropriate graduate-level course in the core curriculum are permitted to substitute an elective or electives in the first semester, as long as the total semester course credits remain 10.

The Qualifying Examination
The qualifying examination is given at the end of the second semester within the 2nd year for PhD students. MD/PhD, post-master's, and some transfer students in the PhD program have the option of taking the qualifying examination at the end of the second semester of the first year. Administration of the qualifying examination will be overseen by the SAAC. Program faculty members serve on the qualifying examination committees on a rotating basis. The two-part exam consists of:
- For the written qualifying examination students write a research proposal that correlates with, but may or may not include, his/her planned thesis research. This document is judged by three members of the SAAC committee for the student's understanding of the relevant scientific literature and ability to propose testable scientific hypotheses.
- An oral examination where the student is assigned 3 current research papers to read and is subsequently tested on their understanding of the material in front of an examining committee. This committee is comprised of 5 program faculty members. Papers are chosen by the committee and given to the students 2–3 weeks in advance of the oral examination. Thesis advisors will not participate in the oral defense of students who are pursuing a PhD in their laboratory.
Both the written and oral portion of the qualifying exam must be passed in order for a student to continue in the PhD program. Students who fail either the oral or the written portion of the exam (or both) can retake that portion of the exam once in order to achieve a passing score. Master's students do not take the qualifying examination.
A Written Thesis Proposal
Success in science requires that students be able to express their thoughts both verbally and in written form. The necessary verbal skills are developed through participation in the Special Topics seminar course and by giving presentations in yearly research seminars at the Student Seminar Day(s), laboratory group meetings, pre-thesis meetings, and the thesis defense seminar. Written skills are developed in required coursework and in the writing of papers and the thesis. However, the latter may occur rather late in a student's research project when time is at a premium.
Thus, students are required to prepare an 8–10 page research proposal on their thesis project using the NIH National Research Service Award (NRSA) or American Heart Association Research Training Grants and Fellowship format and forms, as appropriate. This exercise should allow the advisor and student to clarify the proposed research and provides the student with a forum to learn basic scientific and grant writing skills, with input from the advisor.
This proposal should be completed during the summer and/or early fall, after passing the qualifying examination, and is intended to help prepare the student for future writing of the dissertation, related papers, fellowships, and grants. When the proposal is completed to the satisfaction of the advisor, it is given to members of the pre-thesis committee not less than two weeks prior to their first meeting, to serve as an introduction to the student's thesis project. A copy of the proposal is also submitted to the SAAC.
Pre-thesis meetings
After the student has passed the qualifying exam, a pre-thesis committee of at least five members must be established in the fall of that year and submitted to the SAAC. Students submit their thesis proposal in grant form to the members of the committee 2 weeks before the first pre-thesis committee meeting. At least one member from outside the department, and preferably from a different institution, should be included in the final thesis committee. An external committee member is not required for pre-thesis meetings, which will be held about every 10–12 months or 3 times prior to graduation.
Thesis defense
The PhD thesis defense consists of a public seminar followed by a closed door thesis defense with a minimum of 5 committee members, including 1 member from outside the department.
Program Resources
All faculty of the Department of Physiology & Biophysics participate in the graduate programs in Physiology & Biophysics. The faculty have well funded research programs and extensively equipped individual laboratories for carrying out research in cellular physiology and biophysics. In addition, the department maintains core facilities in molecular biology, spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, NMR, and structural electron microscopy that will be used by students carrying out their research.
Recruitment directly into the programs in Physiology & Biophysics is the preferred route of entry for master's or PhD students.
There is no strict formula for acceptance to the programs and many factors go into the Admissions Committee's decisions. The programs seek students from a wide range of backgrounds including physics, chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and medical sciences.
For acceptance into the program, students should have outstanding grades in a rigorous curriculum and applicants should have completed organic chemistry, physics, and physical chemistry courses. The GRE general test is required and the subject test is recommended. Foreign students are required to take the TOEFL. We are especially interested in candidates with research experience. Finally, the letters from the applicant's references are extremely important, as is the applicant's personal statement. Underrepresented minorities are encouraged to apply.
The Chair of the Department of Physiology & Biophysics is the director of the graduate programs and has the ultimate responsibility for administering the graduate programs in Physiology & Biophysics. A Program Steering Committee oversees the graduate programs and advises the Chair of the Student Admissions & Affairs Committee (SAAC) on specific needs of the programs. Steering Committee members select faculty members to serve on the SAAC and oversee the appointment of committees that deal with developing new courses along with the review and updating of existing courses.
The Steering Committee and the SAAC Chair work jointly to supervise the appointment of faculty to run the departmental seminar series and plan the departmental retreat. Student Seminar Days are organized by faculty members who are running the department seminar series in a given year.
The Student Admissions and Affairs Committee (SAAC)
The SAAC oversees the day-to-day operations of the graduate programs, including: student recruitment, admissions, orientation, rotations, assignment of dissertation advisors and administering the qualifying examinations. The SAAC is comprised of 5–7 faculty members that adequately represent the diverse research interests within the department.
The SAAC serves many roles in the department. Foremost is the recruitment, evaluation, and acceptance of students into the programs. The SAAC uses its experience and discretion to admit qualified students into the programs based on the criteria outlined in the next section. Prospective students are interviewed on campus or by telephone. The SAAC also handles the orientation of new students into the programs. The SAAC is charged with setting up graduate student research rotations, scheduling the Lab Fair (described below), and with administering the qualifying examination. The SAAC is also available to help with student problems and to mediate issues between students and advisors.

Last month at the Olympics, the whole world saw just how fast Jamaicans can run, and though Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake won't be on the field with the Reggae Boyz in a World Cup qualifier against the United States Friday night, the Americans know they will have to put on their jets to keep up.
Jamaica has one of the biggest, fastest, most athletic teams in the CONCACAF region, and the atmosphere at Kingston's National Stadium, known as The Office, is sure to be electric. "No way, USA!" is the mantra of the Jamaican fans this week, and their beloved team hopes to follow up on the island nation's Olympic success.
The United States has never lost to Jamaica, going 10-0-8, but the Americans have settled for ties in all four World Cup qualifiers played on Jamaican soil. This time, the United States will be missing two key players and experienced leaders — Landon Donovan and Michael Bradley. Donovan is out with a hamstring injury, and Bradley has an injured thigh. Clint Dempsey, whose transfer from Fulham to Tottenham was big news last week, has not played since June.
The Jamaican attack is led by speedsters Dane Richards, Luke Shelton and Darren Mattocks, a trio that will keep the U.S. midfield and back line on its toes.
There is little room for error, as the United States and Jamaica face each other twice in the next five days, and neither wants to fall behind in the group standings. The second leg of the home-and-home series is at Columbus, Ohio, on Tuesday. The teams are tied atop their group with four points each, ahead of Guatemala and Antigua and Barbuda, which have one point apiece. The top two teams advance to the six-nation hexagonal final round next year, where they will likely face Mexico, Honduras and Costa Rica. Three of the six earn berths in the 2014 World Cup, and the fourth-place team enters a playoff against the winner of the Oceania region for another spot.
This has been a year of firsts for the U.S. team. It won for the first time in Italy and also won its first game on Mexican soil in 75 years. Coach Jurgen Klinsmann feels those historic victories, while exhibitions, gave the players confidence that they can break longtime winless streaks anywhere.
"It helps in terms of their own belief," Klinsmann said. "For certain results, you need a little bit of luck, which we had in Italy and Mexico. But it's also down to great performances from players. If we do our homework and are prepared to take every piece of what we do seriously, we can beat big nations away from home. But it doesn't give you a guarantee…we have to go into Jamaica, respect them and be prepared to give everything we have in order to get a good result there."
Jamaican manager Theodore Whitmore said his team is confident and ready for the challenge. Nine of the Jamaican players make a living in Major League Soccer, so they are very familiar with American players.
"We're looking forward to the big one against the mighty USA," Whitmore said. "We are prepared and getting ready to do the job on Friday night."
The last time the teams played, in the 2011 Gold Cup quarterfinal, the United States won 2-0. The Reggae Boyz lost a pair of friendlies against Panama earlier in the year and wound up with a demoralizing 0-0 draw in a World Cup qualifier against Antigua & Barbuda.

Movie: The Apparition
Review by Lauren
IMDB Summary: A couple are haunted by a supernatural presence that is unleashed during a college experiment.
Review: It's weird...I would normally say I'm not that big of a horror fan, which is true. I get freaked out easily and I have an over-active imagination, which never helps. However, there are some films that are a bit more scary or freaky and I love them. After all, one of my favorite films is Cry Wolf and that's about murder (and more realistic murder at that).
What does this all have to do with The Apparition? Well, I expected it to be a bit scarier, to be honest. It's not a realistic film, which is good for me. I don't have to leave the theater worrying this can actually happen. But I walked into the theater expecting to be a bit freaked out, possibly even jump here and there, and that's kind of the test of a horror flick...or at least a movie that comes across as being somewhat frightening. But The Apparition kind of failed at that. Neither me nor my sister jumped at all during the film and we left it feeling a bit let down in some ways...it could have been a great premise, but it just fell flat. Most of the movie, apart from the very beginning and near the end, seemed to be about Kelly (Ashley Greene) and Ben (Sebastian Stan) as a couple. It didn't really make sense to me. I guess I just expected more.
I will say that one of the big reasons I wanted to see this movie was for Tom Felton, who played Patrick, the guy who helps Kelly and Ben understand just what is happening to them. I'm a fan of Felton's and it's nice to see him in parts vastly different than Draco Malfoy (which he's most known for) and I do think he did a good job.
In conclusion, I want to mention that I kind of liked the end. It was odd, especially for a movie that felt more like build-up for 75% of it, but it was cool, different, and a bit unique (at least for me). If the whole movie was more like that, it might have been better.

Imag(in)ing Otherness
Description Imag(in)ing Otherness explores relationships between film and religion, aesthetics and ethics. The volume examines these relationships by viewing how otherness is imaged in film and how otherness alternately might be imagined. Drawing from a variety of films from differing religious perspectives including Chan Buddhism, Hinduism, Native American religions, Christianity, and Judaism the essays gathered in this volume examine the particular problems of living together when faced with the tensions brought out through the otherness of differing sexualities, ethnicities, genders, religions, cultures, and families.

The 13th-ranked Newberry Wolves opened the 2012 NCAA Division II Fall Preview with a 318 Sunday to stand in ninth place after one round at the LPGA International Legends Course, the home of the 2013 national tournament.
"We got off to a rough start today, but we settled down and finished strong," head coach Clarissa Childs said. "The course is playing pretty tough. The wind picked up on the back nine and the girls handled that pretty well. We're ready for the second round tomorrow and we feel we can improve on today's scores."
Lisa Brandl (Nuremberg, Germany) is in a tie for ninth individually after a 3-over par 75. The top of the leaderboard is tightly packed and Brandl is just three strokes off of the lead. Barbara Castro (Coruna, Spain) shot a 6-over par 78 and is tied for 21st. Julia Daneshfar (Trophy Club, Texas) is tied for 40th after a 9-over par 81.
Eline Askeland (Oslo, Norway) is tied for 51st with a 12-over par 84 and Korey Coleman (Stanford, Ky.) shot an 17-over par 89 to tie for 63rd. Competing as an individual, Natalia Perez (Bogota, Colombia) is tied for 54th with a 13-over par 85.
In the team standings, the top five spots in the tournament are held by teams ranked in the top 10 in the GolfWeek coaches poll. No. 6 Lynn and No. 7 Barry are tied for the lead at 305, while No. 8 Central Oklahoma and No. 9 Saint Leo are two strokes back at 307. Second ranked Florida Southern is in fifth at 308.
Newberry is one of seven top 25 teams in this week's event, which is held on the same course as the 2013 NCAA Division II National Tournament and the final stages of the LPGA's qualifying school.
The Wolves tee off in Monday's second round beginning at 9:40 a.m.
