NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Bulldogs play the final of three straight road games at Hartford on Tuesday night. Tipoff at Chase Family Arena is slated for 7 p.m.
The season is only five games old, but Yale is starting to find its identity and it's coming at the defensive end. Opponents are shooting just 35.8 percent from the field and 23.5 percent from three-point range against the Bulldogs. Yale is coming off one of its strongest offensive performances of the season, an 84-75 victory at Army on Saturday. Austin Morgan scored a career-high 27 points, and Greg Mangano added 25 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks to lead the way. Mangano's second to last rebound was the 500th of his career. He leads the team in scoring (14.8 ppg.) and rebounding (9.2 rpg.). Jeremiah Kreisberg has posted double-doubles in each of the last two games. Against Seton Hall, he had 14 points and a career-high 13 rebounds, and he followed that up with an 11-point, 10-rebound effort in the win over Army. Kreisberg is shooting 53.8 percent from the field and is 19-of-21 from the free throw line. Reggie Willhite is averaging a career-best 13.8 ppg. and leads the team in steals (16) and assists (18). He was held to six points at Army but contributed seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a block in 26 minutes. In its last three games, Yale has a +11.3 rebounding margin.
The Hawks (0-6) are one of the youngest teams in the nation with 10 freshmen or sophomores on the roster. One of the newcomers, freshman Nate Sikma, leads the team in scoring (8.3 ppg.) and rebounding (4.3 rpg.). He is the son of seven-time NBA all star Jack Sikma. John Gallagher is in his second season as the head coach at Hartford. Prior to that, he spent two years as the associate head coach at Penn.
Yale and Hartford have a history of close games. Four of the last five meetings between the teams have been decided by five points or less. The Bulldogs have won three straight over the Hawks, including an 81-76 decision last year in New Haven. Austin Morgan paced Yale with 22 points, while Reggie Willhite added 19. In the last meeting at Chase Arena, Michael Sands' dunk with two seconds left snapped a 46-46 tie and lifted the Bulldogs to a 48-46 win.
Greg Mangano was a part of the 12-player roster that represented the United States in the 2011 World University Games in August in Shenzhen, China. In six games during the tournament, Mangano averaged 3.2 points and 3.2 rebounds. His five blocks were second on the team, and he also contributed four steals. His top performance came against Mexico when he scored eight points and grabbed eight rebounds. He added seven points, three rebounds and two blocks in the win over Finland. The team was coached by Purdue's Matt Painter. Joining Mangano on the Team USA roster were: Tim Abromaitis (Notre Dame); Marcus Denmon (Missouri); Ashton Gibbs (Pittsburgh); Draymond Green (Michigan State); JaMychal Green (Alabama); Scoop Jardine (Syracuse); John Jenkins (Vanderbilt); Orlando Johnson (UC Santa Barbara); Trevor Mbakwe (Minnesota); Ray McCallum (Detroit Mercy); and Darius Miller (Kentucky).
Jeremiah Kreisberg played for Israel at the Under-20 European Championships in July in in Sarajevo, Bosnia. He appeared in six games (he missed the last two games with a minor injury) and averaged 12.3 points and 5.7 rebounds, while averaging nearly 30 minutes per game. He led the team in rebounding and was second in scoring. Kreisberg headed to Tel-Aviv in June, spent three weeks training with the Israel team and took part in the team's preparation tour through Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia.
Yale got a bit of a head start on the 2011-12 season. The Bulldogs spent 10 days in China last May and played four games, winning three, including a victory over a Chinese professional team. The trip allowed the Bulldogs to bond as a team and work on some things for the upcoming season.
Mangano and Kreisberg weren't the only players to have interesting off seasons. Austin Morgan spent two months in Mauritius, an island nation off southeast coast of Africa, as an Eli-Africa fellow. He helped run an after school program for local children, teaching a class on health and fitness. Sam Martin was in Washington, D.C., interning for Senator Jack Reed of his home state of Rhode Island. Freshman Armani Cotton founded DOSA (Division One Student Athlete) Basketball Clinic. After gaining approval from the NCAA and the Ivy League, Cotton ran two week-long clinics in New York City and three in Lake Naomi, Pa. Cotton created the program in an attempt to deflate the idea that being valedictorian and a star athlete are mutually exclusive. DOSA focuses on the values of hard work and discipline as well as basketball IQ and Division I skills in order to challenge campers intellectually and physically.
Reggie Willhite trained with former Duke stars Christian Laettner and Grant Hill earlier this fall. Willhite's father heard an interview with Laettner on the radio. Laettner mentioned he was looking for some Division I players on the East Coast to train. Willhite's father reached out to Laettner, who agreed to train Willhite. Reggie spent two weekends working out with Laettner and Hill. Hill's father is legendary Yale football player Calvin Hill.
Yale was picked second, along with Princeton, by the select panel of 17 Ivy media representatives who voted in the official Ivy League preseason media poll. The Bulldogs received one first-place vote and 103 points. Harvard is the league favorite with 16 first-place votes and 135 points. Princeton also had 103 points followed by Penn (90), Brown (62), Cornell (52), Columbia (50) and Dartmouth (17).
Lindy's selected Greg Mangano as its preseason Ivy League Player of the Year. The publication also named Mangano the league's Best Rebounder, Best Defender and Best NBA Prospect. Mangano also was named preseason All-Ivy by Athlon Sports, Rivals.com and Rush The Court.
The John J. Lee Amphitheater, the home of Yale Basketball, was featured in ESPN The Magazine's College Basketball preview issue. The title of the feature is Grand Stands, the game marches on, but a dwindling number of college basketball cathedrals can still take us back to when it all began.
The Palestra in Philadelphia, Butler's Hinkle Fieldhouse and Fordham's Rose Hill Gymnasium were the only other venues selected.
"To walk through these gates and settle into these seats is to remember the game's roots," wrote LaRue Cook. "Because sometimes sports aren't about results – they're about beauty and style and being connected to something bigger than the game."
Lee Amphitheater sits inside historic Payne Whitney Gym, which was constructed in 1931 under the direction of John Russell Pope. Yale's first basketball game was played there on Dec. 18, 1932, and it has been the home of the Bulldogs ever since.
James Jones, now in his 13th season, is the dean of Ivy League coaches. His 160 overall wins are the 11th most in Ivy history and his 91 Ivy wins are the sixth most. Jones has guided Yale to success not seen in New Haven in 40 years. In 2001-02, Jones led the Bulldogs to their first Ivy League title since 1962-63 and the first postseason tournament victory in the 107-year history of Yale basketball. Five assistant coaches who worked under Jones have gone on to become head coaches - Isaiah Cavaco (Oberlin), Mark Sembrowich (Academy of Arts University), Mark Gilbride (Clarkson), Ted Hotaling (New Haven) and Rob Senderoff (Kent State).Jones served as an assistant coach to Villanova's Jay Wright for the 2007 USA Basketball Men's Pan American Games Team.
Joe Vancisin, Yale's all-time winningest men's basketball coach, was inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame on Nov. 20. Vancisin guided the Bulldogs for 19 seasons and won three Ivy League titles.
Vancisin, who entered as a contributor, joined players Ralph Sampson, James Worthy, Cazzie Russell and Chris Mullin, coaches Bob Knight and Eddie Sutton and fellow contributor Eddie Einhorn in the induction class of 2011.
Vancisin took over at Yale in 1956-57 and promptly led the Bulldogs to the first official Ivy League title. Yale then lost to North Carolina 90-74 in the NCAA Tournament at Madison Square Garden. The Bulldogs returned to the NCAA Tournament in 1961-62, dropping a heartbreaking 92-82 decision to a Wake Forest team that went on to advance to the Final Four. Yale shared the Ivy title in 1962-63 but fell to Princeton in a playoff game.
Vancisin, who had a 206-242 record as the Bulldogs' head coach, left Yale in 1975 to become the NABC's executive director for 17 years before his retirement in 1992.

News: New 3D in vivo MRM based
C57BL/6J atlases available here!
Many apologies on lack of feedback with our atlas the last year or so. As is no doubt true for many of you, the last year or two has been interesting and challenging to say the least! we hope you are faring well and will survive the economic downturn.
Regarding this atlas, due to changes and scientific priorities, it will no longer be based and maintained at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). Instead the atlas database has been moved to the University of Florida (UF) and will be maintained by support from UF and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL), still in collaboration with Benveniste's team at BNL and Stony Brook University. A new UF staff member is assigned to the atlas starting January 16th and will be available for questions and help.
Over the next year we plan to expand the atlas based on our survey of users and their expressed needs, so keep an eye out. Will be sending update emails too. We will be looking for support for the atlas in terms of grants and funding over the next year and may be requesting your input and help facilitating our new visions and goals for the database.
Please note that the in vivo mouse atlas data is now also available at this site.
Finally, this is MR, so a new launch requires a new acronym! Our site is now named the Magnetic Resonance Microimaging Neurological Atlas,
"MRM NeAt"
Good luck to all in this new decade, and we look forward to hearing from you!
To take advantage of the information emerging from the mouse genome
sequencing efforts, it has become necessary to systematically collect
normative phenotypic information at all biological levels. Accordingly,
an international collaboration, the Mouse Phenome Database (MPD)
project, was created to establish a collection of baseline phenotypic
data from commonly used inbred mice, such as the C57BL/6J, 129S1/SvlmJ,
DBA/2J and BALB/cByJ strains.
The National Institutes of Health
neuroimaging phenotyping informatics emphasis has similarly been
directed toward designing comprehensive three dimensional (3D) digital
brain atlases of commonly used mice strains including
variability of brain structures across a given strain.
As part of this world-wide effort, we have constructed an adult male C57BL/6J mouse brain atlas database
derived directly from T2*-weighted 3D magnetic resonance microscopy
images acquired on a 17.6-T magnet @ University of
Florida. The 3D neuroanatomical
information of twenty
segmented structures including structure variability data, are integrated into a
comprehensive database with the following framework:
This development, although lacking the histological
resolution of traditional mouse brain atlases, is intended to circumvent the
shortcomings of currently available 2D and 3D atlases and to provide new quantitative
anatomical information as well as additional computational templates for
integrating other related information such as function and gene expression
In addition, to overcome the possible sample
distortion caused by in vitro approaches, we newly constructed an in
vivo MRI based C57BL/6J mouse atlas database. The in vivo atlases
not only provide the users with a comprehensive platform for
analyzing in vivo neurological data, they also provide the necessary
framework to compare in vitro and in vivo studies. The in vivo mouse
brain MRI template is inherently the natural template for
longitudinal MRM studies, which are usually carried out at a similar
or a lower spatial resolution level. Therefore the in vivo atlases
will have wide usage in computational morphometry and quantitative
phenotyping of mice. Using our templates for pilot segmentation,
users can also easily modify and create their own mouse brain
atlases to meet their own special needs.

Rise of the Guardians
03.12.2013 | By Jack Rico | No Comments">No Comments
Though it wasn't even nominated in the Best Animated Feature category at the 2013 Oscars, 'Rise of the Guardians' in 3D is the gem of the 2012 animated movies. Its simpatico characters, wondrous-action-packed universe and crisp-immersive 3D, make this a fun and overwhelming joy to watch with adults, teens and young children, not kindergarden kids, making that clear.
The story is very similar to the Avengers – a group of the most powerful childhood legends, called The Guardians (Jack Frost, Santa Claus, The Easter Rabbit, Tooth Fairy and Sandman), assemble to put an end to The Bogeyman, a villain that has attained ultimate darkness and whose mission is to erase the Guardians from existence by robbing children of their hopes and dreams. Jack Frost, a reluctant new recruit who'd rather enjoy a snow day than save the world is who the film revolves around.
'Rise of the Guardians' is an epic animation with loads of adventure, touching moments, humor, and some twists to keep you sharp. The voice actors, formed by Alec Baldwin (Santa Claus), Hugh Jackman (Easter Bunny), Chris Pine (Jack Frost), Isla Fisher (Tooth fairy) and Jude Law (Bogeyman), do a commendable job. The best voice actors are those whose voice changes enough to not discern who they are immediately. Law doesn't quite live up to those standards, yet his is a pleasing and soothing voice worth listening to. The rest of the cast provide are enjoyable vocal performances and don't overshadow the visuals.
Speaking of visuals, this film is a 3D spectacle. I am not a technical graphics animator, but I can recognize when my eyes and mind have a psychogenic orgasm. I remember seeing 'Avatar' and not feeling as wowed by the 3D as James Cameron had promised, but here, for the first time in my life I felt I was actually inside a movie. The skin texture of the characters, the universe where they reside in, the color richness, lighting, and cinematography were just sublime. Perhaps the greatest cinematographer Hollywood has is Roger Deakins and he served as the visual consultant to the production in selecting and composing the shots that would best be suited to 3D. The 3D technology used here is called "Tru 3D" – it's a standard in all DreamWorks Animation films – and is utilized here in an organic way that was integral to the story, not as a stunt or an afterthought. As a result, the movie has a sense of wonder and magic, not to mention a lustrous feel to it all. The best moments to appreciate the 3D are during Jack Frost's scenes. The snowflakes falling from the sky feel like they're falling inside the theater and the characters close-ups look like they've popped out of the screen. Just wonderful.
Worthy to mention, award-winning, Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, who collaborated with DreamWorks Animation as a creative consultant on "Megamind" and was an executive producer on "Kung Fu Panda 2" and "Puss in Boots," returns as an executive producer for the movie.
Overall, 'Rise of the Guardians' is an ambitious, visually stunning and sophisticated animation that has a wonderful message at its core – a quest to never stop believing in goodness. If there is one family movie to see this year it's this movie… and in 3D.

The minimum operating temperature recommended for this helmet is 37 degrees F, only in regards to regulator performance. At the time of this writing, no hot water shroud is available for this helmet for heating the diver's breathing gas.
Without a hot water shroud, the commercial diver may be subject to hypothermia due to cold gas inspiration temperatures. Kirby Morgan makes no physiological recommendations regarding minimum safe operating temperatures for commercial divers using this commercial diving helmet.
Usually the greatest danger of demand regulator icing will be encountered on deck when the surrounding air temperature is less than 32°F (0°C). This effect is primarily due to the refrigeration effect of breathing air pressure reduction, and the addition of moisture from the divers exhalation coming in contact with the topside air temperature.
Recommended overbottom (OB)gas supply pressure for best performance at depths are calculated by the formula (fsw x 0.445+14.7) + recommended p.s.i. g.

San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis has sounded the alert about a lottery scam that targets senior citizens and, in at least one instance, looted a couple's Navy Federal Credit Union account.
According to the D.A., the couple — ages 83 and 79 – received phone calls advising them they had won as much as $2.5 million but they needed first to buy insurance and pay taxes before their winnings were distributed.
According to a statement from the district attorney's office, "As proof of the lottery win, the couple received a faxed letter that included the official seal of the County of San Diego, as well as a photocopy of a check in the amount of $2.5 million made out to them. The letter thanked the victims 'for their service' and said the lottery winnings would be deposited into their Navy Federal Credit Union Account once the taxes were paid."
The couple paid out over $20,000. But then matters got worse. Stated the D.A., "Eventually, the couple provided their credit union account information and a Social Security number in order to allow the winnings to be transferred to their account. Instead, the criminals cleaned out the couple's savings account, stealing an additional $3,000."
A representative for the $54 billion Navy Federal Credit Union in Vienna, Va., emailed this: "Navy Federal has no comment since this is a criminal investigation."
Paul Greenwood, San Diego County deputy district attorney, said in a press conference that two other victims had already been found and indicated that likely there were more. He did not say if those cases also involve credit unions.

NEW: National Grid Warns of Utility Bill Scam
Tuesday, July 03, 2012
National Grid is warning customers about a new, nationwide utility bill scam that claims the federal government will pay customers' utility bills through a new program. No such program exists, and customers who may be solicited should notify local law enforcement officials to investigate.
Customers have received solicitation through phone calls, door-to-door and online asking them for their social security number and bank routing numbers. Then customers are given fake account numbers to pay their bills. These are fraudulent account numbers and are not accepted by National Grid to pay customer bills.
National Grid reminds its customers that to ensure confidence and security during service calls at homes and businesses, all National Grid employees are required to carry company photo identification. Most, but not all National Grid employees also travel in clearly marked National Grid vehicles when providing service to residences and businesses.
The company reminds customers to always ask to see the National Grid company ID badge of anyone who says they are from National Grid. If you are in any doubt as to whether an individual is a National Grid employee, tell the person to wait outside and call the National Grid customer service number to confirm. Customers in New England can call 1-800-322-3223.

The Roof, the Roof, the Roof is on Fire…
Later that evening, after most of the guests had left, some of the wealthiest guests joined the rich family in a drunken game of naked twister. Someone slipped on a cocktail frank that one of the poorer guests had dropped, and knocked over a candle. Soon the large house was engulfed in flames.
The rich, drunk, and naked guests ran out on to the street, and screamed for the gathering crowd to help them put out the fire. But the mob, still angry they were only fed cocktail franks and warm beer, shouted back that the wealthy family should put out the fire themselves since they started it. Water was in very short supply, and the wealthy family insisted that they needed some from every well in the town.
The townspeople argued that the family had the deepest well in town, and should have plenty to put out the fire. The rich family said the well was dry because they'd just had their servants wash their many cars. This angered the mob even more.
As they argued, the fire spread, and the entire town burned to the ground.

Better make sure you've got good fire insurance! A new beginning might just be what this young, and out of control country needs! It certainly needs changes that neither candidate hasn't, or won't suggest, and one of the reasons is that they both enjoy "profits" which only wars can supply.

"...in case you actually believed Washington's Princess Leah message of desperation - that the $700 billion bailout is our only hope - think again. There are plenty of other ways to address this challenge.
The problem, of course, is that this isn't about the American economy. It's about disaster capitalism and enriching the people who engineered this crisis to begin with. Bush (ie. Mr. 19 Percent) is the Obi-Wan Kenobi of the shock doctrine, both parties in Congress who are helping him push this bailout are akin to Darth Vader - and the circle is now complete. When those legislators capitulated to him on the Patriot Act and the Iraq War back in the post-9/11 fearmongering days, they were but the learner. Now, sadly, they are the master."

Don't forget there were lots of townspeople who wanted to live like the rich and found a way to get their own champagne and caviar even though they couldn't afford them. Some of them were able to sneak in with the rich and find a way to prosper themselves, but most after indulging in the feast found that even though they have become accustomd to that lifestyle they could no longer keep up the charade and went back to their old ways.
- September 27, 2008 at 3:29 PM

Agreed. Many people bought houses knowing that the only way they could afford it, was if it's value doubled. If it worked out, great. If it didn't so what, that was the banks problem. This was made worse by the parasites that worked for these banks, that used this casino mentality to get people these loans. Unfortunately, veryone was drinking the koolaid.

they want the 700 billion so they can keep on doing just what they've been doing without restriction or oversight And it is the same people who created the snafu with their "complex mathematical models that mere mortals like you can't understand" (read that fairy money) who want more money to "fix" everything. Paulson and all the rest of 'em should be in JAIL, not in any position trying to fix the economy. When the bull busts up your china shop you don't hire the same bull to fix it do you? I don't trust them, this is the Bush administration, people... they have lied before and they're sure as hell lying now.

The citizens should have used Augustus' strategy. Augustus was one of the most powerful people in Rome, and one of the ways that he gained all his wealth was with a fire-fighting unit. This was a private fire-fighting unit though, and the way he made it work was by heading to the site of a fire and offer to buy the houses that were on fire and the ones in risk of the fire being spread to from the owners at a very low cost. Only if they sold their land would Augustus put out the fire, and then turn around to sell at a large profit.
The government is actually approaching this disaster in a way similar to the way Augustus did. The government will (hopefully) offer to buy sub-prime mortgages off of banks at far less than their stated value. The banks will hopefully end up not failing. If the plan goes well, the government will be in possession of mortgages that regain value as the economy stabilizes and will be able to resell them at a profit.

Let the banks and fat cats eat the bad loans they created. Sure our deposits will suffer initially but when they do and the FDIC has to step in, then we can bail out the FDIC rather than the fat cat Wall Street bankers that created the mess and now tell us the earth will stop spinning if we don't give them $700B. Then when people's deposits are replaced by the FDIC, there will be ample funds to lend and the bad banks and bankers won't get rewarded one again. And we all lived happy ever after. The End

Dear Chef John!
This is completly off-topic:
I just recently discovered your blog and I think its's great! I live in Hungary and I'm a bit of a gourmet, love to eat, and love fine dining. I like to fool around in the kitchen as well, but I've always had some problem with roasting meat. It never turned out the way I expected it. The first videoblog I saw from you convinced me right away, that first of all you really know what you are talking about, second of all you really like to eat and third of all you have a way off enlightening amateur cooks such as I. I have tried to make the tenderloin with balsamic glazed peaches and it came out just excellent. Thank you! Big fan from now on!

The aftermath: the mob then eviscerated the wealthy drunken naked fools, tossed them into the fire for disposal and divided the land equally among themselves. They went to a common sense bartering system becoming self-sustaining, and eliminated the class/cast system, and began to rebuild as group working together with each person able to contribute their skills and teach others and depend on each other as a community for survival. Then a unicorn appeared... :-)

By the way, I think the no politics rule is a very good one.

My mother always has tomatoes just slowly intensifying either over the stove or in the oven, but not for 12 hours! Maybe 4 or 5, so that it's still bursting with a bit of juice. She always uses an iron skillet though (something about women needing iron). The result is a container of roasted cherry tomatoes that we either pop just for some flavor, or we add it to spaghetti for more intensity, I've heated some up and had it with eggs (chef john style) and toast. It almost becomes a spice too, adding it to green beans, intensifies a quick veggie side. I think I've mixed it with sautéed mushrooms, mmm.

Had a guy that's done a ton of broadcasting swear on the Elgato Video Capture device. So I ordered like 5 of them cause I wanted to do multiple analog cameras through USB. They just arrived today, and Elgato will "not" work with anything but their cheap crummy software...is this a joke? I swear I've seen this guy use Elgato all the time with no issues....Only difference is he was using a windows machine and I'm on a Mac.
Are there any drivers I could download to get Ustream to recognize the video through Elgato?

The other week friends and I went to this Chinese restaurant in Arcadia that had dumplings with soup inside. It was delicious. I was so taken that I forgot to snap pictures.
The next day we had brunch at The Hungry Cat. This restaurant is in Hollywood, close to the Arclight Theatres there. It's damn convenient for a dinner and a movie. Or a Brunch and a movie. I'm so addicted to The Hungry Cat that if I don't go for a few months I get the shakes.
We shared oysters and octopus salad for starts. The octopus was tender and smoky.
I don't remember what this is, except that that's a duck egg.
I had Chicken and Waffles. Roscoe's is the restaurant known for this dish, but in all honesty, their chicken tends to be dry. This chicken was perfect: crispy on the outside and sinfully juicy on the inside. That thing on the top? That's butter.
There were more dishes, plus these babies. After three I was a very happy camper. We didn't have dessert. There were talks of Monkey Bread at the beginning of the meal, but by the end we were too stuffed.
However I can't end food porn without a gratuitous sweets shot. So have this from Porto's.
Btw, I'm having a strong craving for dumplings.

January 11, 2013 03:06 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Editors Email The extension of the 2008 Farm Law also extends the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program, and reportedly makes it retroactive to October 1, 2012. USDA has yet to release sign-up details. According to estimates released by the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF), there could be a 2¢/cwt MILC payment in October 2012, and there could possibly be a February 2013 payment of 17¢/cwt based on current futures prices. April and June could also generate small payments of a few cents. With the Farm Law extension, MILC will cover 2.985 million lb. of annual production at a payment rate of 45% and a feed adjustor factor of $7.35. For September 2013, the coverage drops to 2.4 million lb. of annual milk production, 34% payment rate and a $9.50 feed adjustor. NMPF notes that producers should not contact their local USDA Farm Service Agency offices until USDA makes an official announcement regarding implementation of the program. Back to news

As authorities continued investigating a mass shooting that left six people and the suspected gunman dead and seven others wounded, the community also began rallying around those affected by the deadly rampage.
Nearby UCSB offered condolences and made counseling available early Saturday in the wake of the mass shooting.
"The University is closely monitoring the details that are emerging about the shootings Friday night in the neighboring community of Isla Vista," UCSB officials said in a written statement. "The UC Police Department is working closely with the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Office in support of the ongoing investigation."
"We have been notified that several of our students were taken to local hospitals last night, but we do not have additional information at this time," the statement continued. "Our hearts and prayers go out to the family and friends of those affected," UCSB officials said in a written statement.
Counseling services were made available to students overnight, and emergency housing was set up for any students displaced as a result of the shooting and the subsequent investigation, school officials said. Counseling services were also being offered through the day Saturday at the campus' Student Resource Building.
A call center was set up to assist parents and students with questions and can be reached at 805-893-3901, and emergency support and referrals were available via UCSB's 24-hour counseling hotline at 805-893-4411.
University of California President Janet Napolitano responded to the shooting.
"I am shocked and deeply saddened by the news of a mass shooting last night in the Isla Vista area near UC Santa Barbara," she said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of this tragedy, their families and the entire Santa Barbara community. I have been in touch with UCSB Chancellor Henry Yang since the news broke, and have told him the UC Office of the President will assist his campus in any way we can."
"While details on the shooting are scarce and families are still being notified, the campus is already taking steps in response," Napolitano said. "University officials have set up a room for families who are coming to campus, and are making counseling services available to any students, faculty and staff who need our support. UC Santa Barbara officials are also working with the local county sheriff's office and have opened the campus' Emergency Operations Center. We will share additional information as it becomes available."
UCSB spokesman George Foulsham referred all further comments to sheriff's investigators Saturday afternoon.
UCSB officials said additional information would be provided as it becomes available on the university's website.
As devastated family members and friends absorb the shocking news that their loved ones have been killed or injured, it is vital that the community support them, said Michele Prince, executive director of the Los Angeles-based OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center.
"It is really a tragedy and our hearts go out to the families and to the kids themselves whose feelings of safety have been shattered," Prince said.
And while mourners may benefit from support groups and similar resources later in the process, "The most important thing in the immediate aftermath is to be present," Prince said. "It's about letting someone tell their story. It's about holding their hand," she said.
In the initial aftermath of such a tragedy, "It's about not being afraid to show up for those families that are going to have so much need. To know that they're not going to be expected to find the magic formula of words to say. Sometimes, just holding someone's hand, being present, that's the most important piece."
Children connected to the victims, such as younger siblings, are likely to experience apprehension as part of the grieving process, Prince said.
"It's worth trying to reduce their fears and anxiety, especially as the nighttime approaches, and try to answer their questions as honestly as possible."
In addition to providing a listening ear and a shoulder to lean on, community members can also provide a big support those grieving with small but "concrete" offers of help.
Simply offering to help with daily chores such as grocery shopping or laundry can demonstrate support, as well as allow grieving family members time to focus on the situation at hand.
Those struggling with loss "need to be patient with themselves, and know that anything they're feeling is OK," Prince said. "There's no right or wrong way to grieve."
Officials at Santa Barbara City College also expressed empathy following the shooting and were making arrangements to provide emotional support to students and faculty affected by it.
"Our hearts are aching as we learn about the tragedy that unfolded in Isla Vista last night," SBCC spokeswoman Joan Galvan said in a written statement. "There are no words to express the sadness we have for the victims and their families and for all the residents of Isla Vista. We know our students co-mingle with UCSB students and Isla Vista residents as part of our greater community and we all, as an extended family, are impacted by this unimaginable event.
Galvan said the college was cooperating with law enforcement and could provide no further information about the shooting.
SBCC was coordinating with UCSB to provide counseling to students and employees wishing to talk, and support services were expected to be on campus next week, Galvan said.
SBCC President Lori Gaskin urged the community members to unite as they grieve.
"In times of tragedy, we need to turn to each other for support, care for each other as we grieve for the victims, and pull together in compassion and strength," Gaskin said.

Licorice Candy

Simply Gum: Fennel Licorice
I feel like there is a perfect gum out there for me, I just haven't found it yet. So when I saw Simply Gum at the checkout at Lolli & Pops one afternoon, I bought it on impulse just because of the name of the flavor: Fennel Licorice.
Upon further reading I saw that there was more going on here than just the unusual flavor and enticing package. Simply Gum is made with real chicle instead of synthetic gum base along with organic sugar and glycerine.
The packaging is spare and thoughtful. Inside the flip top, there's a little sleeve that holds "post chew wraps", so even thought the pieces don't come in little papers, there are papers to responsibly dispose of your gum when you're through.
Though the box is square and the nuggets inside fill the package, after I dumped them out for photographing, I found that there was a spacer bit at the bottom. As if they'd either originally specified more gum in the box but later decided for less but didn't want to change the package, or it's just intended to mislead the consumer. The box only says 12 pieces (there were actually 18 in my box but they're not consistently sized), but never says how big each piece is, the weight I came up with in the stats box is from weighing the pieces.
The nuggets are just that, a rope of the brown-sugar hued gum is snipped into pieces. They're a little smaller than a regular portion of gum, but not by half. When I chewed it, I wanted maybe 1.5 times as much.
The pieces don't stick together, they have a little rice powder on them (kind of like a corn starch). They smell like fennel, just like sticking your nose in a bottle of fennel seed. The chew releases the sweetness quickly, and instead of becoming more firm, like most gums do, this became thinner. It was too thin really. It's like riding a bike in the wrong gear, my jaw is going too fast for this gum. I'm just spinning and the gum is squishing around.
Aside from the texture, I love the flavor. It was earthy and substantial. The licorice flavors weren't overly sweet or metallic. The mineral notes weren't rusty. Instead it tasted rather of beets. I felt like it freshened my mouth, yet still went well with coffee or tea. The flavor lasted quite long and though the sugar was gone, fennel and licorice have a natural sweetness that lingers. But the gum base was just too squishy.
So, if you've been looking for an all natural gum that chews better with a glass of iced tea than hot tea ... well, this is your gum. I might try another flavor, like Maple, just in case the particular batch I got was anomalous. However, it's pretty expensive, at $3.50 a box.

Katjes Tappsy mit Schoko-Geschmack
Tappsy is a line of cute candies from the Germany sugar-candy company Katjes. Katjes is know best for their licorice, but also do a great job with jelly and gummi candies, often mixed with a marshmallow texture.
The Tappsy line features a simple Panda face with contrasting ears and often nose. Sometimes they're done in fruity flavors and sometimes in licorice. This particular version. the Katjes Tappsy mit Schoko-Geschmack are chocolate flavored.
They're not available in the United States, or at least not easily. I got these from a candy swap with Kristian at CandyBrain.de, but I did notice that Sugarfina (more on them here) posted about them after our small quake last week.
They smell like cocoa, like I just opened a can of Nestle Quik. The shapes alternate. Some faces are cocoa with licorice ears and noses, some are licorice faces with cocoa ears. The marshmallow faces are very easy to bite and chew. It's soft and mild but ultimately bland. The cocoa keeps it from getting too sweet, but also gives it a sort of cardboard flavor as well. The licorice as ears is so mild, all I could tell was that it wasn't cocoa.
When it came to the licorice faces, the chew was a little more like a Swedish Fish than the dense cross between a marshmallow and a gummi. The flavor is more intense but not great. There are anise notes and a little deep earthy flavor of molasses and licorice. The ears are good here, just a little light texture and the flavor is completely overpowered.
I found them passable, not great. They weren't strong enough in their licorice flavor and for the cocoa part, I think I would have preferred a true licorice flavor there too, like Griotten. I'll probably finish the package, and I've come to find I rather like them when they're stale and a little more stiff and chewy.
(If you'd like a review via video and stronger language, check out CandyGurus review of the chocolate and licorice varieties.)

Pine Bros Softish Throat Drops - Licorice
Pine Bros Softish Throat Drops were introduced in 1870. The simple formula uses glycerine to soothe irritated throats. By 1930 the company was sold to Life Savers, which was a natural fit, as they had wide distribution and the throat drops were a nice complement to the candy roll line. By the late 1990 the brand was sold several times, lost national distribution and fell into obscurity before disappearing entirely.
Of course consumers didn't forget about them, and soon there was enough of a groundswell on the internet to get the drops back on the market. In 2011 they finally returned with the most fashionable flavors: Wild Cherry and Honey. The return of Pine Bros Softish Throat Drops really couldn't be considered complete until the Licorice flavor was also revived.
I find them reliably at CVS drug store chains, though others may carry them as well. It's nice to see them in national distribution and there was even a commercial on at the top of the Golden Globe Awards to build brand awareness.
The Licorice drops are the same shape and size as the Cherry and Honey. They're about 3/4 of an inch long and at first seem hard. In the mouth they soften quickly. They're not chewy, but dissolve smoothly to form a coating, soothing syrup in the throat.
The licorice flavor is clean, with a clear anise or fennel note. There's no molasses in here, so it doesn't have all that earthy, minerally flavor that a licorice vine might feature. Instead this is just sweet, light and soothing. They're much softer when they're fresh, I opened my bag and let them get a little harder, as I will absolutely try to chew them if they're soft and should know better than that.
The only issue I have with them is that they use artificial colors ... I'm not sure why, I don't need them to be black. I don't notice the flavor influenced by it at all, but why am I paying for that? There is no nutrition panel on the package, this is not food, there is instead the Drug Facts panel which has the directions for use (allow to dissolve in the mouth). They're made on shared equipment with peanuts and tree nuts but contain no soy, dairy or wheat products.
I could eat these all day. I have been eating them all day. I'm glad they're back.

Marabou Black Saltlakritz Milk Chocolate
I knew from the first time I heard about this bar from Sweden that it was not for licorice haters. It's called Marabou Black Saltakrits. It's described (in English!) on the front as Milk chocolate with pieces of salty licorice.
When Swedes say salty licorice, they don't mean sodium chloride, like the regular sea salt or table salt. They mean ammonium chloride which has a distinctly more metallic flavor profile and can give the licorice an ammonia note at times.
It's marked as a king sized bar, and in Sweden that means 7.76 ounces ... they're a unitary parliamentary representative democracy under constitutional monarchy, so they have a slightly more generous meaning for king-sized candy bars than we do here in our federal presidential representative democracy under constitutional republic.
This very big bar is about 8 inches long and 3 inches wide. As it traveled quite a distance to me (from its origin in Sweden to Kristian in Germany who packaged it up and sent it to the far side of North America) it was broken in several places, so photographing the whole was not very attractive.
Marabou is owned by Mondelez (Kraft) and this particular bar uses Rainforest Alliance certified cacao (30%). It doesn't say anything else about the sourcing of the milk products or sugar. The bar contains soy and milk and may also have traces of almonds, other nuts and wheat.
The bar smells great, like sweet creme brulee and a hint of anise. The licorice was not at all what I was expecting. The bits are little little toffee shards, they're crunchy, not chewy. There's no molasses, so it's a much more pungent licorice flavor than a mixed sort of Australian or American chewy flour-based licorice. If you're familiar with cinder toffee or sponge candy, which has a note of sodium bicarbonate in it, you might find this familiar, too. The licorice has a sharp note that's rather salty but sometimes taste more acidic. It's sharp and sweet but overall pleasant in small bits, but large pieces are off-putting. The creamy and ordinary chocolate is great as a background, it balances it all out, though offers nothing in the way of actual cocoa flavors. It's quite milky, which is also fine.
A few bites, and I like it. But more than a square and I definitely start getting an overabundance of the ammonia going and have to give it a rest. This is something I absolutely do not need a king sized bar of, I simple little one or two ounces would have sufficed. Still, it's one of the best salted licorices I've had - I liked the crispy texture and quick dissolve.

Lucky Country Aussie-Style Black Licorice
Lucky Country is an American licorice company that makes Australian-style licorice. What is Australian style? It's distinguished by large pieces, a soft texture and a molasses & wheat flour base.
Lucky Country is not as easy to find in stores as Twizzlers or Red Vines, but for folks who like a really rich tasting licorice but don't want to spring for the European or Australian candies, it's a good option.
Lucky Country sent me some bags of their black licorice and some of their fruity varieties. I'd tried their black before (the photo of the package shown is from 2008, but the pieces below are the more recent shipment).
The nuggets are big. They're about 1.5" long and about .6 inches in diameter. It only takes five pieces to make a portion, which comes out to about 130 calories. Even though it's not fat free, it's very low in calories overall, only 92 calories per ounce, because it's a wheat-based chew and the primary sweetener is molasses. The molasses also adds a bit of nutrition. There 6% of your daily RDA of calcium and 8% of your RDA of iron.
I was disappointed to see artificial colors in the ingredients. It's pretty easy to find all natural licorice out there, so there's little reason to compromise on this if you don't like Red 40, Yellow 6 or Blue 1 going into your candy or body.
The pieces are a little sticky but overall quite chewy and soft. The flavor is well rounded with a good licorice and anise flavor along with a smoky and earthy flavor of molasses. They're not as sweet as Panda licorice, and I enjoy the twisted segments as a shape versus the long, smooth bar of Panda.
It's good stuff, and since it's made in the US, it's pretty affordable stuff. Personally I prefer the format of pastilles (like Good & Plenty) so if they ever go in that direction, I'd be interested to try them.

Haribo Hot Sticks
I saw these Haribo Hot Sticks first on the Candy Gurus site and knew I had to have them.
They're a strange combination of flavors, at least to the American palate. The package describes them as Fruity-Spicy & Liquorice. They're sugar crusted gummis in three flavor combinations: Hot Orange + Liquorice, Ginger-Lemon + Liquorice and Raspberry-Jalapeno + Liquorice.
Haribo is a global confectionery brand, but this package is for the German market, with the majority of the package information in German and a smattering in English.
There are three flavors, but I have trouble telling them apart. The raspberry was easy, since it was pink, but the orange and lemon versions were more difficult.
The texture is soft and bouncy, the sugar crust is fine and adheres well to the candy, so well that there was barely any in the bottom of the bag. Each has a licorice end, and that flavor was consistent across all the pieces. It was very sweet with a mild anise flavor. I'm not usually the keen on Haribo's licorice, but this gummi version was mild and traditional.
Hot Orange + Liquorice - the orange end had a little tangy citrus note and at first, I had trouble detecting anything else, but soon the warming spice of what I can only guess is hot pepper started. It was really just the heat, there wasn't much of the vegetable note to it. The licorice combined well with it, mostly evening it all out and providing a more lingering sweetness.
Ginger-Lemon + Liquorice - this was the flavor that drove me to find the Hot Sticks. I love Haribo's Ginger Lemon gummis, so the addition of licorice sounded great. The earthy flavor of the ginger balanced very well with the herbal notes of the anise-licorice. The tartness of the lemon cut the sugary sweetness of the grainy coating.
Raspberry-Jalapeno + Liquorice - I have to admit that jalapeno is not one of my favorite flavors. The raspberry and jalapeno flavors were well balanced here. The tangy and floral berry notes came right out, but so did the green vegetable flavors of jalapeno along with the very warm notes of the pepper. When I just ate a bite from that flavored end, I found it slightly too hot for me. However, when eating as a whole candy, with the soothing woodsy note of the licorice, it's interesting ... still, it was a bit chaotic. Of all the flavors here, this one was the least successful. But it could just be that I'd never tried that combination before and it was too jarring for me to appreciate.
Overall, it's a really fascinating mix. Each bite is different, and because the flavors are separated on different ends, you can kind of control how much of a mix you get. I'll probably stick with the much more mundane Lemon Ginger, but the addition of licorice, especially this particular version of a gummi licorice, is quite good.

Eat with your Eyes: Myzel's Licorice Assortment
A little sampling of Licorice from Myzel's in New York City that I picked up. Most are items I've had before, so it was nice to have the comfort of something tried and true. The one on the right end is the only one I'd never had before, it's thyme and rosemary from Italy. It's a soft, glycerine style licorice. Not very sweet at all with the balsam notes of the herbs.

Sockerbit Swedish Candy Selections
While in New York City I picked up a huge selection of candy from Sockerbit, a Swedish candy shop. Nearly all of their products are found in their bulk bins, for the standard price of $13 a pound.
The candies, most from Sweden, are made without artificial colors. You can buy from Sockerbit's website but their best selection is in their store.
The candies are fresh and well marked in their bins. I made three different bags for myself. One was wrapped candies (not pictured), an array of fudge & chocolate items and the third mix was for marshmallow and fruity candies. I purchased about a pound total and as you can see from this posting, sampled a huge variety of candy styles and flavors.
Romrussin Fudge - say it out loud and it's obvious that this is rum raisin fudge. Even though the pieces seem a bit dry and hard, they're not at all once I bit into one. The rum note is light, like a butterscotch sort of flavor. The raisins are tangy and sweet and pretty chewy.
Fudge Duo is a stack of vanilla fudge and chocolate fudge. It's a bit drier than the romrussin. The chocolate is mild, the vanilla is quite sweet and has a light toffee note. The texture is smooth, without the heavy buttered grain of some styles of fudge (which I rather like). This was a bit sweet for me and I think I would have to either limit myself to one piece or eat it with something like dark chocolate, nuts or strong coffee.
Licorice Fudge is quite black and rather formidable. The flavor profile is well done. It's not as sweet as the other fudges and according to the ingredients list I found online, it has 2.3% licorice powder in it. Like the other candies sold at Sockerbit, there are no artificial colorings, in this case the licorice is made black by the use of carbon black (E153 - which may have animal origins, my vegetarian friends). It's unusual to find this licorice product here, because E153 is not approved in the US.
Overall, the fudge was dry. I'm not a huge fudge person in the first place, but the thing I like best about it is the buttery, grainy texture of fresh fudge.
Polly are little nougat nuggets covered in milk or dark chocolate. A little larger than a Milk Dud, they're quite a tasty morsel, something I would want to buy again. They're a little egg-noggy, maybe a rum flavoring to them. They're chewy, like a stiff nougat but there's no sugary grain to them (kind of like a tacky marshmallow). The dark chocolate version has a decent semi-sweet coating on it, it's not that rich but passable for something that's more of a family candy. The milk chocolate is actually a bit better, with strong dairy tastes and possibly this is the only one that has the rum notes to it.
Nougat with Almonds - it's a bit dry, though not at all sticky. They're airy pieces, kind of a cross between marshmallow and the Italian torrone. There's no essence to it, no amaretto or orange notes. It's a clean flavor and easy to eat. I wouldn't mind them coated in chocolate as well. The nougat works better as a "dry" candy compared to the fudge and I'd be happy to eat more if I found it.
The final item, and one of the other amazing finds is Punsch Punsch. They're similar to the Polly, in that they're little rummy nuggets covered in chocolate.
The center is a fudge-like sweet paste with a light rum and possibly raisin flavor. It's covered in semi-sweet chocolate and some cute little nonpareils for garnish. I didn't like them quite as much as the Polly, they're not quite as poppable. They're a bit sweeter and the rum more pronounced ... maybe it needed a bit more of a creamy butter component for me.
Starting small, there are a few jelly berries in there called Skogsbär. There were three different colors, each a little different. The Swedish berry flavor is mild but smooth. The classic raspberries were jammy but still not very intense. When I first bought them they were smooth but after sitting in the paper bag they got a little harder and grainier.
Marshmallow Selection
I always enjoy banana marshmallows. The frothy texture of marshmallow goes well with banana flavoring. In the case of the banana marshmallows from Sweden, don't get these confused with the American Marbits known as Circus Peanuts. The texture is far smoother and the flavor, though probably artificial is not caustic. There's even a little tartness to it.
The second banana is called Banana Bubs, they're half yellow banana flavor and the other half a mild caramel flavor. They're foamy and soft, chewy and less tart than the bananas.
The large pink disk says Franssons on it. It's strawberry flavored, soft and has a great berry flavor to it. The smooth dissolve of the marshmallow gives it a creamy texture without any actual fat. It's a few bites, so it ends up being a lot of candy in one piece. Refreshing.
Skumsvampar are the little hat shapes came in two different flavors. The pink ones are the lingonberry flavor, they're more sweet without that round tart note that the disk had. The tan ones are cola, they're very mild but have a good caramel and light spice note to them.
Elephant Feet Licorice is the only licorice I picked up while I was there, though they had quite a bit. These are a pleasant variety. The base is foamy and has a light caramel flavor to it. The black licorice layer is a gummi with a mild anise note to it. They're easy to eat with an almost creamy flavor to it, like the crema on an espresso.
Ferrari - Berry and Cola - they're just race cars in different flavors. I picked out the berry and cola ones, which came in separate bins.
The Red Car is Swedish berry flavor, whatever the Swedish Fish flavor is, probably something like the lingonberry version of Jolly Rancher green apple. But it wasn't exactly a flavor retread, it was different. It was much strong, much more floral, the the point where I noticed an overwhelming note of violet in my candy bag only to find it was this single red car that was causing it. It's a good flavor, but very ultimately very different from the masculine berry I was expecting.
Cola Car is spicy and bold, with a sharp tartness to it. These got stale more quickly than some of the other pieces I picked out.
The Malaco Gummi Cola Bottles were tangy and sharp, but not quite as spicy or as vibrant as I would have liked. However, the texture was quite nice, a little tougher and less sticky than Swedish Fish. I would eat these ... I might even prefer them over Haribo Gummi Cola Bottles.
Euca Menthol Gummidrops might be Dutch. They're domed and big and covered with granulated sugar. They're very firm and a bit tough if you like to eat your gummis in several bites.
The flavor is not straight menthol or mint. It's more like a berry flavor, maybe lingonberry with a menthol kick to it. There's a light tartness to it as well. They're odd. I was expecting them to be a straight sort of gummi mint cough drop (smaller gummi eucalyptus drops are popular in South America), but they're simply different from that. I can't decide if I like them. They're soothing and invigorating ... but I wouldn't call them tasty. It's like mixing Sleepytime tea with Red Zinger.
Some other items not shown in the photos:
Dumle are individually wrapped chocolate covered toffee pieces. The toffee style is really a caramel. It's quite soft, but not oozy like Cadbury's. It has a light, cereal flavor that reminds me of graham crackers, maybe even with a hint of coconut and cinnamon. I also tried the purple wrapped liquorice variety. Instead of being a goofy over-colored black inside, it looked just the like other toffee version. The licorice flavor is mild and earthy.
Hem-kola are little squares of firm hazelnut caramel. They're kind of like a rich Now & Later. The hazelnut is more of a flavor, there's no crushed nuts in there. It's sweet and becomes a little grainy towards the end. They reminded me a lot of the caramel style of Sugar Babies.
Rollo are like Sugar Daddy, a tough caramel. It's creamy and has a strong dairy flavor, more than a hint of salt and a smooth texture.
Tom's Guld Karamel are good, like a Storck Chocolate Riesen. The caramel (toffee) center is smooth, salty but not chocolate flavored on its own. The chocolate coating though is rather dark and bitter.
Sockerbit (website)
Whenever I'm in New York, I will definitely make this a stop. I know that the inventory changes as well, so not all of these candies may be available right now. (Here's a review of my recent New York City candy shopping spree.)
I give the Polly an 8 out of 10, the Banana marshmallows, Cola candies and Elephant Feet a 7 out of 10 and everything else a 6 out of 10.

Transfer Policies
Transfer within the Park School
Students may apply for a change of major within the Park School after they have earned one semester's worth of grades at Ithaca College. They must follow the same deadlines and application process as transfer applicants who are applying from other schools within Ithaca College (see below). The internal transfer process is competitive, and students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.25 and be in good academic standing in order to apply for a major in cinema and photography; film, photography, and visual arts; integrated marketing communications; journalism, and television-radio. Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 to apply for a major in organizational communication, learning, and design.
Transfer Credit after Matriculation at Ithaca College
Prior approval must be obtained on the form provided by the registrar for all transfers of both elective courses and courses proposed to substitute for requirements. No more than 12 transfer credits will be accepted for any summer session.
Transfer from Other Schools at Ithaca College
Each year the Park School accepts a limited number of students from other schools at Ithaca College. Information and application forms are available in the dean's office. Applications are reviewed each semester after midterm grades are available, and a decision is made before registration for the next semester. One semester of final college grades is required. Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.25 to apply for transfer to degrees in cinema and photography; film, photography, and visual arts, integrated marketing communications; journalism; and television-radio and a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 to apply to organizational communication, learning, and design. If a student transfers from the School of Humanities and Sciences, the Park School will accept the course 377-10800 Academic Writing Seminar as a substitution for 377-10600 Academic Writing I.
Admission Criteria
Students wishing to transfer into the Park School must submit evidence of successful academic work, preferably including one or more courses in the area in which they intend to major.
Transfer from Other Institutions
The Park School accepts a limited number of students from other accredited colleges and universities. For general information about transfer procedures and deadlines, see "Transfer Students." The Park School also has specific articulation agreements with four community colleges (see "Articulation Agreements").
Admission Criteria
Students wishing to transfer into the Park School (who are not entering through community college articulation agreements) must submit evidence of successful academic work, preferably including one or more courses in the area in which they intend to major. Unless there is an articulation agreement in effect, for these purposes success is generally defined as a cumulative overall GPA of 3.25 after at least one semester of college grades. Because admission to the Park School is competitive, this 3.25 GPA is a minimum standard and does not guarantee admission.
Credit Evaluations
If a student is considering applying to Ithaca College, the Park School can provide an unofficial transfer credit evaluation if the student sends copies of transcripts and course descriptions from previous coursework. Credit is granted for most college-level courses with a grade of C- or higher. Credit for internships, practicums, workshops, and independent study is generally not transferable into the Park School.
Any number of credits will be accepted, but the following requirements may mean that you will need more than 120 credits to graduate: Students must complete at least four full-time (12 credits or more) semesters at Ithaca College (including the London Center or the Los Angeles program) and must complete at least 50 percent of the required communications credits in the Park School. After matriculation, transfer students must comply with the academ--ic policies listed above and in the degree program descriptions.
Specific information about transfer student orientation is sent automatically to all matriculating students by the Office of First Year Programs and Orientation.
Courses and Course Schedules
Students should consult the Undergraduate Course Offerings for specific information on the schedule of all courses for the semester. In addition to the courses listed in this catalog, others may be offered on an experimen-tal basis. Descriptions of experimental courses, minicourses, selected topics courses, and other special offerings are available from the dean's or department offices the week before registration begins each semester.

text: Managing Mastitis in Dairy Replacement Heifers March 19, 2013 09:19 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Editors Email Diet plays a key role in udder resistance to infection. Source: Prince Agri Products Management of mastitis is most commonly focused on lactating cows. However, the prevalence of mastitis in unbred, breeding age and pregnant dairy heifers is higher than formerly realized, according to Stephen Nickerson, Ph.D., professor of lactation physiology, Animal and Dairy Science Department, at the University of Georgia. Dr. Nickerson's comments came during the Pre-Conference Symposium in February at the Southwest Nutrition and Management Conference at the University of Arizona in Tempe, Ariz. While antibiotic infusion products have been successfully used to cure existing infections, Dr. Nickerson said the goal should be to prevent new infections from occurring in these young dairy heifers through management strategies that include not only vaccinations, use of teat seals and fly control, but also dietary supplementation. Dr. Nickerson reported that dietary supplementation to boost the immune systems of heifers has been shown to reduce the incidence of mastitis at calving. "Heifers may carry intramammary infections for a year or more before they are diagnosed with mastitis," he reported. "The greatest development of milk-producing tissue in the udder occurs during the first pregnancy, so it is important to protect the heifer mammary gland from pathogenic microorganisms to ensure maximum milk production during the first and future lactations." Diet plays a role in udder resistance to infection, he said, because certain nutrients affect various mammary resistance mechanisms. Dr. Nickerson participated in a 2011 study submitted to the Journal of Dairy Science in which 40 dairy heifers were fed a daily supplement beginning at five months of age containing a specific additive (OmniGen-AF®). Overall, postpartum results showed that these heifers exhibited increased milk production, decreased prevalence of mastitis and lower somatic cell counts, suggesting a positive effect on the immune system, compared to unsupplemented control heifers. OmniGen-AF, from Prince Agri Products, can be supplemented to all classes of dairy cattle as part of their regular diet. OmniGen-AF has been shown to augment immune function in dairy cattle which aids in the maintenance of good health and production.

Duplicate Label Inquiries
From MACS
What it is: Duplicate issue inquiries are notification that a customer is receiving more copies of a journal than they ordered. They are usually received from agencies but we occasionally receive them from direct subscribers.
How to process:
A. Agency duplicates
- You will receive a notice with the title, subscriber information and copies of the duplicate labels. They usually ask that we combine the subs and extend the expiration date.
- You will need to look up the accounts on both labels and determine the reason for the duplicate label:
- The most common reason is the customer has a membership and a subscription that generate the same journal i.e. membership in ALCTS and a subscription to LRTS. We cannot combine a membership and subscription so they will need to cancel one and we will refund any balance.
- They have 2 orders with different check numbers. We will need to see if they intended to place 2 orders, if not you can forward to Vicki Williams to combine and extend the sub or they can cancel and we will refund any balance.
B. Direct subscriber duplicates
- Same as above except you may not get copies of the labels.
- If you cannot locate 2 orders you can check the label runs or ask the customer to fax the labels.
- Proceed as above.
