all of a sudden, I
see angry orchard, blue moon,
plus appleton estate
.
strive for coney island
end up at Strickland park area,
mid-night breakfast served

Carmen the Christmas Angel by Maria Atilano
Carmen the angel was dropped from the sky
I don't know from where, or how high.
Her dress was torn, and her halo was not there
All was a shamble, except for her hair.
You see, her hair was a magical thing
Even if she was dirty, and had a broken wing.
Her hair shimmered and was braided with love
And when I undid them, her hair flew like a dove.
I could tell that the angel needed a friend
I knew I would help, love, care, and tend.
But the angel wanted more, to be free
And I guess she didn't want to be with me.
Then I got an idea, and it made me smile
I had to think about it though, just for a while.
I asked the angel if she had a name
The angel then smiled, just the same.
"Yes I do, my name is Carmen!" The angel said.
"You know, I haven't a home or even a bed."
"Perhaps I could sleep in a merry place...."
Where lights always lit and there are plenty of space!"
I laughed a long laugh and covered my mouth
And I noticed the strong wind from the south
The wind swirled around Carmen, and she giggled with glee
And right then and there I knew she belonged to me
So now Carmen is happy, at last
She moved into her new home, so very fast.
She is now my Christmas angel, I love her so much
She is now a free angel, lets end this poem and such.

OSU program awards first graduate fellowships
Thu, November 20, 2014
A requirement of the fellowship is work toward or completion of a graduate certificate in interdisciplinary toxicology, which allows students to study the basic concepts and principals in toxicology and requires courses from at least three different participating OSU colleges or departments. The certificate provides students with training in environmental and public health issues involving chemical toxicity.
“The program gives us a great perspective from different backgrounds,” said Morrison, a zoology doctoral candidate and president of the newly formed Graduate Society for Interdisciplinary Toxicology. “I’m a chemist at heart and I really like the idea of being able to describe the chemistry going on in the background.”
Now in its second year, the OSU Interdisciplinary Toxicology Program has received extramural research support and finished the development of the graduate certificate and the graduate fellowship programs.
“The ITP has achieved a number of initial benchmarks and is enjoying some momentum,” said program director Dr. Carey Pope, Regents Professor of Toxicology and Sitlington Chair in Toxicology in the Center for Veterinary Health Sciences.
Pope is assisted by co-directors Dr. Loren Smith, Regents Professor and head of the Department of Zoology, and Dr. David Wallace, professor of pharmacology in the OSU Center for Health Sciences.
“From the beginning, we all realized the importance of having different viewpoints from multiple departments and colleges as the program was being developed,” said Pope.
The program is also working to establish a fellowship program for undergraduate researchers and recently submitted a training grant to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that would include undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral training opportunities.
