Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Focal Performance P165V33 by John Pollard Why install component speakers? A component speaker system gives you the best possible performance from your car audio system. A system consists of separate woofers, tweeters, and crossovers, each designed to cover one specific range of frequencies. As separate components, the woofer can move freely to deliver more powerful performance, while the tweeter can be custom-mounted in a better spot up closer to your ears, revealing a whole new world of detail. Separate crossovers are far superior to the simple filters wired into full-range speakers, so the components work together for smoother, more focused sound. Focal's made a strong impression on American car audio fans in the last couple of years. Their 3-way Performance Series P165V33 component speaker system continues this trend, using precision craftmanship and advanced materials to deliver superior performance. The system includes two 6-3/4" woofers, two 4" midrange drivers, two 1-3/4" tweeters, two external crossover networks, and assorted hardware. 2-layer woofer cone The system's 6-3/4" woofer features a Polyglass cone that's created by depositing a layer of hollow glass microbeads over a layer of cellulose pulp. This unique material combines the warm sound of cellulose with the incredible strength of glass, for a cone that responds rapidly with extremely low resonance. A butyl rubber surround helps control cone movement and promotes high power handling. The zamak (zinc alloy) basket provides a non-magnetic, non-resonant housing that won't color the sound. Unique tweeter design Focal designed the 1-3/4" aluminum/magnesium inverted dome tweeter to disperse high frequencies evenly for a big, open soundstage. The external 3-way crossover ensures a smooth transition from lows to mids to highs, so vocals and instruments sound natural. You can select from 3 tweeter levels to get the right balance in your vehicle. 4" midrange speaker The shallow-mount 4" midrange driver, identical in construction to the woofer, adds focus and detail. Mount the midrange and tweeter as close to ear level as possible in your vehicle, and enjoy the powerful soundstage created by these precision speakers. Note: This component speaker set consists of a separate woofer, midrange speaker, and tweeter. Our Car Selector checks to make sure the woofer will fit in your factory location. You'll have to custom install the midrange and tweeter. Note: Focal describes this model as a 6-1/2" speaker. Most manufacturers designate this same frame size as a 6-3/4" speaker. For simplicity's sake we list it as a 6-3/4" speaker.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Woofer Midrange Tweeter Crossover Woofer Polyglass Cone: The woofer cone has a cellulose pulp base and is coated with a uniform deposit of hollow glass microballs. The addition of the Polyglass layer significantly increases the cone's rigidity without adding much weight. This combination takes advantage of the accuracy and neutrality of the hard outer surface, but maintains the superior damping characteristics of the cellulose pulp. Surround: The butyl rubber surround is resistant to ultraviolet rays, temperature extremes, and humidity, adding to the speaker's reliability and longevity. Zamak Basket: The woofer features a cast Zamak basket. Zamak is a rigid alloy of Zinc, Aluminum, Magnesium, and Copper. Zamak is non-magnetic. Voice Coil: The voice coil is wound around a 1" diameter low-mass Kapton former, ensuring no coil deformation. Midrange Polyglass Cone: Like the woofers, the midrange drivers use Polyglass cones with butyl rubber surrounds. Zamak Basket: The midrange drivers also feature a cast Zamak basket. Size: The 4" midrange drivers will fit many factory 4" speaker locations. They can be top or bottom mounted and have these dimensions: Depth (top mount): 1.572" Mounting height: 0.273" Flange height: 0.181" Depth (bottom mount): 1.753 Tweeter protrusion: 0.092" Cutout diameter: 3.682" Frame diameter: 4.02" Tweeter Inverted Dome Tweeter: The 1-3/4" tweeter is an inverted aluminum dome, producing a broad sound stage. The tweeter has a Neodymium magnet to provide a powerful magnetic field for the voice coil, while still maintaining the tweeter's compact dimensions. Mounting Options: The tweeter can be surface or flush mounted using the included adapters. The included angled cup allows surface mounting at one of two angles; approximately 10° and approximately 30°. Dimensions: Flush Mount 10° Surface Mount 30° Surface Mount Mounting Height 0.274" 1.212" 1.553" Depth 0.962" 0.552" (screw depth) 0.552" (screw depth) Frame Diameter 2.053" N/A N/A Cutout Diameter 1.825" N/A N/A Frame Width N/A 1.785" 1.785" Frame Length N/A 1.842" 1.776" Crossover Components: Focal uses audiophile grade polypropylene capacitors and solid core inductors to ensure high definition and a dynamic sound quality. Tweeter Level: You can adjust the output level of the tweeter on the crossover to -6 dB, -3 dB, or 0 dB. Crossover Slopes: The crossover uses 2nd order (12 dB/octave) low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass filters. The crossover points are 400 Hz and 4,000 Hz. Wiring: The inputs and outputs are screw terminals; they will accept bare wire or spade connectors up to 0.3" wide.

Written By Dutch1, Lansing, MI on Thursday, February 13, 2014 These speakers are incredible....detailed, fast, smooth, dynamic and neutral. Custom built midrange pod put the mids and tweeters at ear level. Huge soundstage that can image five feet outside the car, depending on source material. However, they sounded terrible right out of the box; they need plenty of time to break in! Mine took about 150 hours to smooth out but is WELL worth the wait! Sound will now rival many very expensive high-end home systems. Pros: Detailed, accurate, smooth, imaging, sound staging, dynamics, fast. Cons: Needs lots of break-in time but worth the wait. Poor source material has nowhere to hide. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Being an owner of Focal home speakers, and a previous owner of Focal mobile speakers, this was an easy purchase for me to make. Well worth the money. No disappointments with the purchase of these speakers. Pros: sound quality 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 SEPARATION AND CLARITY Written By Nelson, Toms River, NJ on Friday, February 15, 2013 Amazing speakers, I have them mounted in stock locations in my 95 C Class. Tweeters up on dash, 6 1/2 in front doors. 4in in rear doors. My staging would greatly improve if they were mounted closer or above the woofer, but that is in the works. I am using a Alpine 9886 headunit and PDX 5 to push them and they love every bit of it. These speakers sound awesome. The closest thing to the original MB Q series . Pros: Clear sound, strong contruction, easy install. did i mention they sound awesome! Cons: Woofers are a little muddy on certain songs, but i will contribute that to them being mounted in doors. Thats my 1 star deduction (1/2 star not allowed) 1 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 AMAZING Written By Dominic, Utah on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 These speakers are awesome! I have a decent setup in my car, and I love that I can turn the base up as much as I want and these speakers will still overpower the whole system! I would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing sound upgrade! the 3 way is outstanding also. The mid woofer allows a very good range between the speakers. It has incredible mids and highs. Kinda expensive though, you might wanna consider the P165 v30 (2-way set) im sure those are very comparable. FYI I'm running 2 JL 10" W3 (sealed enclosure), with a alpine PDX M600. The focals are running on the alpine PDX - F4 (im regretting not getting the F6) and its all run on a CDA-9887 head unit. Pros: Best sounding speakers I have ever heard. Cons: Your going to need an extra amplifier to run these, they can suck a lot of power. 2 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Euro success will come, says Maicon
- 03 December 2012 08:37
- Posted by Nicola McCarthy
As City make their way to Dortmund for their final Champions League fixture, Maicon has predicted a more positive future for the club in Europe's elite competition.
The Brazilian defender, who won the Champions League with Inter Milan in 2010, believes the Blues are moving in the right direction from what he has seen since arriving at the club this summer.
"Manchester City full-back Maicon believes it is only a matter of time before the club tastes Champions League success," reports Sky Sports News.
"City have failed to progress past the group stage for the second successive year and travel to Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday with only a place in the Europa League at stake."
But Maicon said: "There is nothing missing at City. It is a great club and is working to get better in the Champions League. You can see us progressing on a monthly basis."
"The club is growing all the time, and sooner or later City will win the Champions League because everyone is working for that.
"The big difference is that here you have to play in the Premier League as well as trying to do well in the Champions League. It is a very different competition.
"They are great players here, but they need more experience of the Champions League."
Elsewhere, according to the Daily Mail, City are closing in on an £8.1m deal for Barcelona youngster Gerard Deulofeu.
"Manchester City has emerged as the front-runners to sign wonder kid Gerard Deulofeu from Barcelona," writes the paper's Lee Bryan.
"City have overtaken Chelsea in the race to capture the 18-year-old, who has an £8.1million buy-out clause.
"Since the sacking of Roberto Di Matteo, Chelsea have fallen behind and City are understood to be prepared to double his wages.
"Deulofeu is considered to be the stars of the Academy and is being billed in Spain as the heir to Lionel Messi's throne."
Remember, we at mcfc.co.uk will be first to confirm any of these rumours that are currently doing the rounds.

Legacy of the Gyalwang Karmapas
We are privileged to be alive at a time when the dharma is readily accessible.
We are blessed beyond measure by 900 uninterrupted years of activity of the Gyalwang Karmapas.
We are tasked to ensure that the blessings and teachings which reach untold numbers of sentient beings through Karma Triyana Dharmachakra Monastery, His Holiness the Karmapa's North American Seat, continue for the next 900 years.
Your gift to the Karma Döndrup Endowment Fund is a powerful way to proactively support KTD's impact on countless lives for generations to come.
Steadfast donors who have partnered with Karma Triyana Dharmachakra (KTD) over the years are an important foundational support of the monastery's work. They know that when they are gone the absence of their consistent giving will be felt.
These friends of the monastery are therefore taking action to ensure that their giving never stops. Through their wills a portion of their estates will be set aside and protected in the Karma Dondrup Endowment Fund to generate annual gifts that will continue their legacy of giving.
An endowment is perpetual. The fund endures and continues to generate funding from generation to generation. Once established, it pays out money year after. The principle of your gift stays intact while the income, or at least a good part of it, will be used to support the flourishing of dharma.
An endowment is protected. Funds donated will be kept separate from operating and capital campaign accounts. Donors have the assurance that their gift is secure. The written agreement will be on file and the terms will be meticulously followed. Further, Karma Tryana Dharmachakra has developed sound policies which are available upon request for managing endowment funds.
An endowment is personal. Legacy gifts to KTD reflect donors' personal prioritization of ongoing support for the flourishing of the dharma in North America.
You are invited to be among this special, visionary number whose legacy will support the work of the Gyalwang Karmapas for the next 900 years.Download the Endowment Form.
KTD has received surprise bequests in the past. While the monastery deeply appreciates these gifts which reveal gracious and generous donors, we would much rather have had the opportunity to express our gratitude. KTD was unable to let these donors know how instrumental their gifts were to fulfilling the mission of His Holiness the Karmapa.
So we encourage those of you who have included KTD in their estate plans to let us know so that we can express our appreciation and ensure that you are kept up to date on developments at the monastery.
Outright Gift
Bequest by Will
Charitable Remainder Trust
Life Insurance
IRA / Pension Plan

Complete the following and submit appropriate material directly to: Pam Woody, VWCC - Health Professions, P.O. Box 14007, Roanoke, VA 24038 by April 1, 2014.
A high school diploma or GED. Applicants must have a cumulative high school or college-level GPA of 2.0 or higher. High school graduates and GED holders who earned less than a 2.0 GPA during high school will be considered for admission if they have generated a college GPA of 2.0 or above. The GPA is calculated at the most recent institution/college you attended and completed at least 12 college credit hours completed. The GPA is determined at the end of the fall semester (2013).
The following high school courses with a grade of "C" or higher: Algebra I and Biology. Appropriate developmental or college course equivalents can be substituted. Must be completed by the end of Summer 2014 to be eligible for the 2014 program. Priority will be given to those who complete by the end of Spring.
Yes. You must submit a handwritten essay with your program application. Instructions are provided on the back of the program application form. This must be submitted prior to the April 1, 2014 deadline. Applicants being considered will be required to take an entrance examination (HESI) in the spring of 2014. Applicants are responsible for the exam fee. All eligible applicants must attend a personal interview with the program faculty in April.
Applications for the 2014 class are being accepted now and must be completed no later than April 1, 2014. The 2013 class is already filled. If you apply now, this will allow us to help you plan and suggest proper courses to begin your studies. Current enrollment in missing prerequisites is not required to apply early, but must be successfully completed before entering the program. You may benefit from advising by the Pre-Practical Nursing advisor, who will be able to discuss your transcript(s), placement testing, prerequisites, support classes, etc. and complete any needed transfer evaluations for you (if applicable).
Approximately thirty-five (35) students will be admitted to the 2014 Practical Nursing class. Priority consideration will be given to applicants who have a GPA of 2.5 or higher and have either completed all high school prerequisites or anticipate completion of the missing prerequisites by the end of Spring 2014. Meeting the curriculum admission standards does not guarantee program admission.
Admission decisions are made by the Practical Nursing Admissions Committee, which meets in May. Admission decisions are mailed to the applicants as soon as possible, usually in mid-May. This program is four semesters in length (Fall/Spring and Fall/Spring).
Some applicants may need developmental courses for math or English (prior to prerequisites or support courses), which can be determined by reviewing your placement testing results with a counselor. A review of your transcripts after application will assist in determining if you lack the required prerequisites (Algebra I and Biology). If you need to establish a 2.0 GPA, please speak to the advisor to determine appropriate coursework prior to the fall semester. Applicants interested in taking additional curricular support courses prior to knowing if they are accepted are encouraged to work with the advisor to see if taking support classes is practical based on their individual circumstances (taking in consideration whether they are part-time, full-time, financial circumstances, holding a job, etc.). Some students elect to take some of the general education courses such as English 111, PSY 230 and SDV 100 before beginning the program, but they are not treated as prerequisites.
In the state of Virginia, if someone has been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor they may not be allowed to take the LPN licensing exam. The question of eligibility to take the LPN licensing exam cannot be determined until application for licensure is received by the State Board of Nursing. VWCC has no control over whether or not the Board of Nursing in Virginia or other states will allow the student to take the NCLEX exam. If you wish to discuss this issue, you may call the LPN Program Head at (540) 857-6176.
You must successfully complete an approved Practical Nursing education program and pass a licensure exam, which is administered by the National Council of the State Board of Nursing. You must apply to the regulatory board of the state in which you plan to practice. The general requirements include personal, character, and criminal background information. Application for the licensure examination will be provided toward the end of the fourth semester in the Practical Nursing program.
Currently VWCC does not offer a program for LPN's to transition to the nursing program. However, LPN's are welcome to apply for the Associate of Applied Science - Nursing (RN) program. LPN's who meet the admission requirements will be considered on the same basis as all other applicants. The college hopes to offer a revised transition curriculum in the near future. If you need more information, please call the advisor at 857-7307.
If you are interested in taking classes to prepare for future entry into the program, but you are unsure when you will be eligible, please submit the 2014 application form with the appropriate transcripts. This will allow us to help you plan and suggest proper courses to begin your studies.
We use VW Alert to immediately contact you during a major crisis or emergency.

Esperanto [1] was invented and introduced by Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof in 1887 as a means of simplifying worldwide communication. Language Under a Free License To this day, Esperanto is supported by a small but faithful community, and it is no coincidence that many Esperanto fans are also members of the Linux community. Besides the cosmopolitan goals and worldwide backing, Linux and Esperanto share similar license models. The inventor gave up his rights to the artificial language after its release, thus creating what may well have been the first free license since the invention of copyright.

Nine Foods with Natural Calcium - Get Healthy Bones & Teeth
Naturally consume calcium to strengthen bones & teeth, muscles, and nerves by eating your nutrients.
Author: Patricia Bratianu RN PhD RH-AHG
Most people know that calcium is needed for strong teeth and bones. Did you know that calcium is essential for the nervous system to function properly? Calcium is required for blood pressure regulation, proper clotting, and for healthy tissues. It is involved in digestive processes and may help prevent colon cancer.
Calcium is found in several food groups but it is not always in a usable or easily absorbed form. Let's take a look at some places to obtain dietary calcium.
Milk- Milk is probably the source of calcium that most people think of first. Milk from cows and goats is rich in calcium. Whole, skim and reduced fat milk all contain relatively equal amounts of calcium. Soy, rice, and almond milks vary in calcium content. Read the labels.
Yogurt- Yogurt is another dairy product rich in calcium. Some people have a hard time digesting cow's milk. Yogurt is easier to digest and may be used as a main calcium source for people who cannot drink or do not like to drink milk.
Cheese- Hard cheeses contain more calcium than soft cheeses. They generally are lower in fat too.
Kale- Many green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, beet greens, collards, and Swiss chard all contain high quality calcium. The problem is that most are high in oxalic acid. The oxalic acid binds with the calcium making it harder to use. Kale has freely absorbable calcium and is therefore an excellent source.
Wild greens- Dandelion greens, wild nettles, and purslane are rich calcium sources that are packed full of vitamins. They do not have much oxalic acid, so the calcium is readily available. Try growing some. If you gather from the wild, make sure that they have not been sprayed with pesticides or other toxins.
Soy products- Soy beans, tofu, and other soy products contain natural calcium. Read labels for actual content.
Shellfish- Clams, shrimp, oysters, and mussels are delicious sources of calcium.
Seaweeds- Wakame, dulse, kelp and all sea vegetables contain calcium. It is in a bioavailable form. The sea veggies are rich sources of trace minerals and low in calories. They add variety to your diet and may be prepared in several different ways.
Canned fish- Sardines and salmon have a great deal of calcium and are rich in essential fatty acids.
Calcium is available from many food sources. If you choose to use a calcium supplement to ensure that you get enough of this essential nutrient, be sure to use one that contains magnesium. The calcium needs magnesium to function effectively.

Groundbreaking for New Hydroelectric Plant Coming Soon
OURAY COUNTY – The Ridgway Dam was designed with hydropower in mind, but it wasn't until recently that hydropower became a feasible project for the Tri-County Water Conservancy District.
In about a month, district officials are hopeful they it will be able to break ground on the project, which, upon completion, will create about $1 million annually in revenues and produce enough electricity for 3,000 houses each year.
The 8-megawatt project will contain two turbines and two generators — a 1.8-mw system that will operate in the winter months during lower flows, and a 7.2-mw system for the higher-flow irrigation months.
"Winter flows are significantly less than our summer flows, and we can't get a generator that would operate efficiently for that wide range," Tri-County Water General Manager Mike Berry said.
The two different systems, both of which can operate during peak flows, is the most efficient method of capturing energy from the dam, he said.
Tri-County Water has gone through the necessary steps to get the project underway, and is now waiting for the completion of just two items before construction begins: the design plans need final approval from the Bureau of Reclamation, and interconnection agreement — to allow the power that's captured to be transferred onto the grid — must be reached between Tri-County Water and Tri-State Generation and Transmission.
Tri-State is the wholesale power provider for area electrical providers, including Delta-Montrose Electric Cooperative and San Miguel Power Association, and brokering an agreement with Tri-County Water has been a lengthy and expensive process, Berry said.
In April 2011, Tri-County Water completed its environmental assessment for the project, and by the end of 2011, the official Finding of No Significant Impact report was released. In February of this year, the district was awarded a Lease of Power Privilege from the Bureau of Reclamation to develop the hydropower resources. Since that time, Tri-County Water has secured funding to pay for the project, and has entered into agreements to sell that power.
The City of Aspen has agreed to purchase power produced in the winter – about 40 percent of the total hydropower produced – while Tri-State Generation and Transmission will purchase the other 60 percent that is produced, during the rest of the year, Berry said.
Phil Overeynder, utilities engineer and former utilities director for the City of Aspen, said his city council was pushing staff to find more sources of alternative power when he came across the 1984 feasibility report on the Ridgway Dam hydropower project, and approached the district. Aspen had already invested in two other hydropower plants and knew the advantages of a fixed-cost electricity source, he said.
"We saw that benefit and wanted to be part of this project," Overeynder said.
Several feasibilities studies were done on the potential of hydropower generation at the dam over the years, but it wasn't until now, with low interest rates and a source to sell the power to, that the pieces for the project came together.
Tri-County Water was able to obtain a 30-year loan from the Colorado Water Conservation Board for about $9 million, and then another $2 million, 20-year loan from Colorado Water Resources and Power Development Authority, both at a 2 percent interest rate, Berry said. Tri-County Water has committed to providing about $4 to $5 million of its own money toward the project, which it expects will pay off in about seven to eight years, he said.
The district has factored in such costs as debt payments, maintenance expenses and capital reserves to come up with an annual budget, but until the entire project is complete, exact numbers won't be available, as the project could cost anywhere from $14 to $17 million, he said.
Of the total cost, about $11.5 million will go to pay the project's contractor, Mountain States Hydro, of Idaho.
Once the final documents and agreements are in place, Mountain States Hydro will begin building the power house at the base of the dam, and put in the proper piping and construct the small turbine. The company is hopeful that the small turbine will be operational by this time next year. The large turbine will be assembled during the winter of 2013-14, and should be operational by the spring of 2014.
As part of the new design at the dam, the energy that is currently being pumped into the river from the dam – causing a super-saturation of nitrogen into the water and affecting the fish – will be eliminated, because the water will be slowed as it moves through the turbines.
"We will take that energy that is causing that condition and make electricity out of it," Berry said.

On a recent trip to the Alaskan interior, I didn't get to see the aurora borealis, but I did, in a way, hear it. At the Museum of the North, on the grounds of the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, the composer John Luther Adams has created a sound-and-light installation called "The Place Where You Go to Listen"—a kind of infinite musical work that is controlled by natural events occurring in real time. The title refers to Naalagiagvik, a place on the coast of the Arctic Ocean where, according to legend, a spiritually attuned Inupiaq woman went to hear the voices of birds, whales, and unseen things around her. In keeping with that magical idea, the mechanism of "The Place" translates raw data into music: information from seismological, meteorological, and geomagnetic stations in various parts of Alaska is fed into a computer and transformed into an intricate, vibrantly colored field of electronic sound.
"The Place" occupies a small white-walled room on the museum's second floor. You sit on a bench before five glass panels, which change color according to the time of day and the season. What you notice first is a dense, organlike sonority, which Adams has named the Day Choir. Its notes follow the contour of the natural harmonic series—the rainbow of overtones that emanate from a vibrating string—and have the brightness of music in a major key. In overcast weather, the harmonies are relatively narrow in range; when the sun comes out, they stretch across four octaves. After the sun goes down, a darker, moodier set of chords, the Night Choir, moves to the forefront. The moon is audible as a narrow sliver of noise. Pulsating patterns in the bass, which Adams calls Earth Drums, are activated by small earthquakes and other seismic events around Alaska. And shimmering sounds in the extreme registers—the Aurora Bells—are tied to the fluctuations in the magnetic field that cause the Northern Lights.
The first day I was there, "The Place" was subdued, though it cast a hypnotic spell. Checking the Alaskan data stations on my laptop, I saw that geomagnetic activity was negligible. Some minor seismic activity in the region had set off the bass frequencies, but it was a rather opaque ripple of beats, suggestive of a dance party in an underground crypt. Clouds covered the sky, so the Day Choir was muted. After a few minutes, there was a noticeable change: the solar harmonies acquired extra radiance, with upper intervals oscillating in an almost melodic fashion. Certain that the sun had come out, I left "The Place," and looked out the windows of the lobby. The Alaska Range was glistening on the far side of the Tanana Valley.
When I arrived the next day, just before noon, "The Place" was jumping. A mild earthquake in the Alaska Range, measuring 2.99 on the Richter scale, was causing the Earth Drums to pound more loudly and go deeper in register. (If a major earthquake were to hit Fairbanks, "The Place," if it survived, would throb to the frequency 24.27Hz, an abyssal tone that Adams associates with the rotation of the earth.) Even more spectacular were the high sounds showering down from speakers on the ceiling. On the Web site of the University of Alaska's Geophysical Institute, aurora activity was rated 5 on a scale from 0 to 9, or "active." This was sufficient to make the Aurora Bells come alive. The Day and Night Choirs follow the equal-tempered tuning used by most Western instruments, but the Bells are filtered through a different harmonic prism, one determined by various series of prime numbers. I had the impression of a carillon ringing miles above the earth.
On the two days I visited "The Place," various tourists came and went. Some, armed with cameras and guidebooks, stood against the back wall, looking alarmed, and left quickly. Others were entranced. One young woman assumed a yoga position and meditated; she took "The Place" to be a specimen of ambient music, the kind of thing you can bliss out to, and she wasn't entirely mistaken. At the same time, it is a forbiddingly complex creation that contains a probably unresolvable philosophical contradiction. On the one hand, it lacks a will of its own; it is at the mercy of its data streams, the humors of the earth. On the other hand, it is a deeply personal work, whose material reflects Adams's long-standing preoccupation with multiple systems of tuning, his fascination with slow-motion formal processes, his love of foggy masses of sound in which many events are unfolding at independent tempos.
"The Place," which opened on the spring equinox in 2006, confirms Adams's status as one of the most original musical thinkers of the new century. At the age of fifty-five, he is perhaps the chief standard-bearer of American experimental music, of the tradition of solitary sonic tinkering that began on the West Coast almost a century ago and gained new strength after the Second World War, when John Cage and Morton Feldman created supreme abstractions in musical form. Talking about his work, Adams admits that it can sound strange, that it lacks familiar reference points, that it's not exactly popular—by a twist of fate, he is sometimes confused with John Coolidge Adams, the creator of the opera "Nixon in China" and the most widely performed of living American composers—and yet he'll also say that it's got something, or, at least, "It's not nothing."
Above all, Adams strives to create musical counterparts to the geography, ecology, and native culture of his home state, where he has lived since 1978. He does this not merely by giving his compositions evocative titles—his catalogue includes "Earth and the Great Weather," "In the White Silence," "Strange and Sacred Noise," "Dark Waves"—but by literally anchoring the work in the landscapes that have inspired it.

TALLAHASSEE -- For the fifth straight year, Florida State checked in on an Associated Press Top 25 Preseason Poll. The Seminoles were ranked 11th in this year's AP preseason poll that was released Saturday morning.
This also marks the third consecutive season the Seminoles have been listed in the top 15 of the AP's preseason poll. Last year, they came in at No. 7 before finishing No. 10 after posting a 12-2 record and winning their first ACC championship since 2005, and their first BCS bowl game since 1999.
FSU's 11th ranking was about where most had predicted. Earlier this month, the Seminoles were ranked No. 12 in the USA Today Coaches' Preseason Poll.
Alabama was ranked No. 1 in both major preseason polls.
Like the Coaches' Poll, the AP Poll will be released each week during the regular season. The first week's AP Poll will come the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 3, one day after FSU's season opener at Pittsburgh.
The AP Poll voting panel is comprised of media members who cover college football. Team beat writers and national columnists and broadcasters are part of the group,
The Seminoles ranked as high as No. 3 in the AP Poll last season. After losing on the road to North Carolina State and snapping a 5-0 start last October, they dropped to No. 12.

It was my fault. I had the Jarvis Jones creepy Subway meat sculpture as my offseason post-draft sig. I said I was going back to the good ol' Gladiator/Terrible Towels/Billy Madison "I Award You No Points And May God Have Mercy On Your Soul" Quote sig once the season started. However, I did not change it until today. My bad.

Editor's note (10/9/2012): We are making the text of this article freely available for 30 days because the article was cited by the Nobel Committee as a further reading in the announcement of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics. The full article with images, which originally appeared in the June 1997 issue, is available for purchase here.
"I am sorry that I ever had anything to do with quantum theory," Erwin Schrödinger reportedly complained to a colleague. The Austrian physicist was not lamenting the fate of his now famous cat, which he figuratively placed in a box with a vial of poison in 1935. Rather he was commenting on the strange implications of quantum mechanics, the science behind electrons, atoms, photons and other things submicroscopic. With his feline, Schrödinger attempted to illustrate the problem: according to quantum mechanics, particles jump from point to point, occupy several places at once and seem to communicate faster than the speed of light. So why don't cats—or baseballs or planets or people, for that matter—do the same things? After all, they are made of atoms. Instead they obey the predictable, classical laws quantified by Isaac Newton. When does the quantum world give way to the physics of everyday life? "That's one of the $64,000 questions," chuckles David Pritchard of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Pritchard and other experimentalists have begun to peek at the boundary between quantum and classical realms. By cooling particles with laser beams or by moving them through special cavities, physicists have in the past year created small-scale Schrödinger's cats. These "cats" were individual electrons and atoms made to reside in two places simultaneously, and electromagnetic fields excited to vibrate in two different ways at once. Not only do they show how readily the weird gives way to the familiar, but in dramatic fashion they illustrate a barrier to quantum computing—a technology, still largely speculative, that some researchers hope could solve problems that are now impossibly difficult.
The mystery about the quantum-classical transition stems from a crucial quality of quantum particles—they can undulate and travel like waves (and vice versa: light can bounce around as a particle called a photon). As such, they can be described by a wave function, which Schrödinger devised in 1926. A sort of quantum Social Security number, the wave function incorporates everything there is to know about a particle, summing up its range of all possible positions and movements.
Taken at face value, a wave function indicates that a particle resides in all those possibilities at once. Invariably, however, an observation reveals only one of those states. How or even why a particular result emerges after a measurement is the point of Schrödinger's thought experiment: in addition to the cat and the poison, a radioactive atom goes into the box. Within an hour, the atom has an even chance of decaying; the decay would trigger a hammer that smashes open the vial of antifeline serum.
The Measurement Problem
According to quantum mechanics, the unobserved radioactive atom remains in a funny state of being decayed and not decayed. This state, called a superposition, is something quantum objects enter quite readily. Electrons can occupy several energy levels, or orbitals, simultaneously; a single photon, after passing through a beam splitter, appears to traverse two paths at the same time. Particles in a well-defined superposition are said to be coherent.
But what happens when quantum objects are coupled to a macroscopic one, like a cat? Extending quantum logic, the cat should also remain in a coherent superposition of states and be dead and alive simultaneously. Obviously, this is patently absurd: our senses tell us that cats are either dead or alive, not both or neither. In prosaic terms, the cat is really a measuring device, like a Geiger counter or a voltmeter. The question is, then, Shouldn't measuring devices enter the same indefinite state that the quantum particles they are designed to detect do?

In its review of budget priorities for the upcoming cycle, the Division III Championships Committee is throwing its support behind initiatives that fully fund an enhanced experience for postseason participants.
The Division III Championships Committee at its Sept. 12-14 meeting approved several requests from sport committees that do not have a budgetary impact or can be accommodated by reallocating existing funds. Read More
Meeting Sept. 12-14 in Indianapolis, committee members agreed that any new allocations in the next budget cycle should focus on things like per diem increases and squad-size adjustments that give student-athletes an enhanced championships experience and relieves financial burdens on participating schools.
They reached that consensus after meeting with chairs of Division III sport committees and taking a straw poll on the priorities. Members ranked the following initiatives, the first three of which would be evaluated collectively:
While those are the priorities, not all are likely to be immediately addressed since the Championships Committee will have to weigh individual budget requests from sport committees, which they will begin to do in a series of conference calls later this fall and winter. The committee will make final budget recommendations at its February meeting, after also considering input from the Division III Strategic Planning and Finance Committee and the Division III Management Council. Ultimately, the championships budget is subject to review by the Strategic Planning and Finance Committee and Management Council, with final approval by the Presidents Council.
The committee will benefit from inflationary adjustments in the next budget that help address travel expenses for championship participants, but new initiatives would likely have to come from previous savings the division has accrued, or from reserves. The committee may also consider reallocation within existing budgets to accommodate changing priorities.
Also a factor is a new budget cycle that will be implemented this year, expanding from a two-year to a three-year period. That means the recommendations from the Division III governance structure will apply to the 2012-15 triennium.

Dear Sylvia Beach,
You make me angry. Not a very good way to begin a one-sided conversation, is it?
Still, you make me angry.
According to nearly everyone, you were a discreetly gallant heroine in all you did. American-born, you founded and ran an English-language Paris bookshop, doubling as a library, where writers and readers from several continents gathered habitually. You published James Joyce when almost no one else would, partly to your detriment. You survived internment by the Nazis, et cetera, et cetera.
So why couldn't you tell us more frankly, freely, and fully who you were? Your journalistic tendency to mute yourself in your writing when it was intended for publication means one cannot get to know Miss Beach well at all in her spry, deft 1959 memoir.
To find you, we must go to your letters. There you live on, sporadically, as a character's character.
First you plied a trade at a young age as a grape picker alongside German POWs in the vineyards of wartime France. Next, as you reported, you're a translator-secretary for the Red Cross in Belgrade, rooming near two bishops: "It must be a great task to curry their long shiny beards each day and their locks down to their knees, presque." You signed off in letters as "Sylviskyevitch," and remarked, "The purple off this type[writer] ribbon has gotten onto my face somehow and looks fierce."
Some of that antic ink now seems to spread to us.
Still, how did you tolerate your parents for enervating decades? They infected a nice wild girl. Your chronic migraines were only the start of it. I think they also stole your writing voice. Why did you consent to that?
As the letters suggest, you approached most challenges with a spirit of unabashed counterattack. Maybe you wrote to family with a girded, cheery aggressiveness because by that means you hoped to protect yourself: "I think that plenty of sleep, food, work, and outdoor exercise and perhaps to see one's family as little as possible is the only way to be healthy."
As for work, you issued 11 printings of Ulysses, from which you netted perhaps several hundred dollars in profit. At the time, it was regarded as unlawfully obscene by American authorities. Therefore, you smuggled copies to your New York customers via Toronto, where you footed the bill for a studio apartment for your henchman, who carried two copies stashed in his trousers stateside daily by ferry, it is said. A triumph: only two copies of your secret Joyce shipments were ever confiscated, reportedly.
Recently I fingered copy number 906, priced at $22,500. This Ulysses of yours wears dark green morocco, its spacious pages like a single-volume library of the newly imagined English language.
Yet for the decade during which you were sole publisher of Ulysses, Joyce refused to sign a contract with you. You kept funding him informally anyhow, from loans you begged from relatives and friends. All but bankrupted by his book, you gave up rights to it in 1932. You requested from Random House, the novel's new publisher, a fee of $25,000. You got none of it.
Officially, you made no complaint.
Ah, your parents. Mother hated sex with Father, a high-aspiring, impecunious Princeton minister. She instructed you to run from men. You obeyed her. She ran from him repeatedly, for weeks or months or years—to you, quite often. They remained married regardless.
Of this you say little in your published correspondence. Did you put it all into your migraines?
Let's not forget the end of this story. Mother ran away from him to you in France in 1927. There she killed herself with an overdose of her own heart medicine. Why? Well, she'd been arrested just before for shoplifting a cheap trinket in Paris. She killed herself from embarrassment, after carefully writing out by hand a statement of her innocence.
You kept news of shoplifting and suicide secret from your father, your sisters, and everyone, forever. She died from heart disease, they all believed. You claimed the body, paid a fine, arranged cremation, and laid Mother to rest in a Paris cemetery.It is all too extraordinary.
You never told. Yes, she stole your writing voice.

Nobu Hotels Are Now Bringing Their Green Tea Waffles to Chicago
Just yesterday we swooned over the green tea waffles at the Nobu Hotel in Las Vegas and now today, we learn we'll be able to scarf down those breakfast delights on our next trip to Chicago. Or well, maybe our third to next trip to Chicago.
Nobu Hotels officially announced the Nobu Hotel and Restaurant that will open in the West Loop neighborhood on the corner Randolph and Preoria Streets in early 2016. Here are the details from the press release:
Inspired by the world-renowned Japanese culinary genius Chef Nobu and championed by Academy award-winning actor Robert De Niro and Hollywood producer Meir Teper, the boutique Nobu Hotel will feature 155 luxury rooms, the Nobu Restaurant and a special indoor and outdoor bar. A lounge and venue on the rooftop will deliver a fusion of laid-back luxury, high-energy nightlife and exclusive guest room retreats.
No doubt the Nobu in-room dining will be present as will the complimentary green tea Welcome amenity, the Natura Bisse toiletries and the turndown service. However, it will be interesting to see if Chicago will copy the Las Vegas design (pictured above) or if the Rockwell Group will dream up something different. We're feeling adventurous today so let's hope they get creative.

Thompson Chicago Now Has Its Own Signature Scent
The Thompson Chicago has decor filled with leather and aubergine hues— and now it has a scent to match. 12.29, the New York-based olfactory branding company that's developed custom scents for clients such as Rodarte and The Quin Hotel, has created a special scent exclusively for Thompson Hotels, and Thompson Chicago is the first to try it out.
Called "Velvet," the scent comprises notes inspired by the look and feel of Thompson Hotels. In addition to the components mentioned above, the spicy scent contains amber, smoky cedar wood, and fresh tobacco. We popped into the hotel last night to do a little sniff test, and found that the scent is noticeable but subtle, like a fragrance put out by a fancy candle burning (and not—don't worry—like a heavy cloud of room spray.)
Speaking of candles, 12.29 is hosting a pop-up boutique in the lobby through March 20. The company typically only sells its candles ($150 a pop) online, but the temporary shop will offer them up in four different scents. The fragrances come in poetic names such as "A Forgotten Memory" and "A Dark Desire Affair."

Confirmed! Soho House Will Open in Chicago This August
This is excellent news. We just got word that Soho House Chicago will open in August. Last time we dished on this exclusive, London-based chain we expounded on the coolness of West Loop location. Here are some more details about the property:
There will be a scant 40 guest rooms (told you it was exclusive) on the building's third and fourth floors. The rooms, a press release tell us, will be "comfortable" and "airy," and they'll have rainforest showers and products from Cowshed. Rates start at $160, and bookings will be available this spring.

The ACME Hotel Will Begin Offering Guests Google Glass on March 10th
Billed as a "lifestyle boutique hotel alternative," the ACME Hotel in River North has a hip, young—dare we say "alternative"—way of doing things.
First, there are blueberry-lavender "doughssants" in its coffee shop and a bar made out of leather belts in its lobby. Then, there's the technology. If you thought the Smart TVs and loads of iPod docking stations were cool, wait till you hear what the hotel is doling out now as a guest amenity: Google Glass.

Three Chicago Hotels Will Debut Big Renovations Tomorrow
March 1 is shaping up to be a big day on the Chicago hotel scene. That's the day not one, not two, but three historic hotels will unveil major renovations. But it's not exactly a coincidence.
The California-based Broughton Hotels owns all of the European-style hotels that got the makeovers. The Majestic Hotel in Lakeview, The Willows Hotel in Lincoln Park, and Lakeview's City Suites Chicago were all originally built in the 1920s, and all are relatively wee-sized. City Suites, the smallest has 45 rooms while The Willows is the largest with 55 rooms, and the Majestic Hotel has 52 rooms.
AF Canta, a Cali-based design firm, cooked up the concept for the renovation, which saw similar updates at each property. Each hotel has new lobby furnishings, lighting, window treatments, linens, carpeting, and artwork. The guest rooms have also been modernized with iHome docks, and all of the hotels have fiber optic internet.

How to Make a Hotel Bed Kimpton-Style (and Dance to a Catchy Tune)
HotelChatter is no stranger to bed-making tutorials. We've had the folks at Ritz-Carlton demonstrate how to make a bed; we've had the team at DoubleTree share their special bed-making tips and we've had the staff at the Trump New York enlighten us with a tip on keeping duvet covers wrinkle-free. But never have we been told to make a bed like this before.
In honor of National Bed Month next month, Kimpton Hotels had the staff at their Hotel Monaco Chicago sing a catchy song about how to make a bed properly. And then they filmed a music video.
To be honest, we're not so sure we got all the bed-making tips down, we were too distracted by watching the employees sing and dance and throw pillows in the air. Maybe the fourth or fifth time watching it, we'll actually remember the tips.

Two Chicago Hotels Are Serving Picnic Fare In the Dead of Winter
If you're not caught up on Chicago weather, here's what you missed this past winter: horrifically low temperatures, dizzying amounts of snow, and foggy rain to wash it all down. Nothing sounds better than a little taste of summertime right now, so it's lucky that two Chicago hotels are serving up heaping portions of classic picnic fare.
TheWit Hotel may have just launched a super-health-conscious new menu, but chef Evan Percoco understands that we all need a little fried chicken from time to time. His first-floor restaurant State & Lake has just introduced "Fried Chicken Sundays." Good for your soul (if not for your heart), the menu includes two sizes of buckets stuffed with fried chicken and biscuits; there are also growlers, or big old beer jugs, on offer.

The Trump Chicago Gets a Visit From the Worst Bar Guests Ever
It looks like these three idiots are now on the Trump Chicago's blacklist. Heck, maybe they should be on every hotel's blacklist.
According to The Chicago Sun-Times, a trio of suburbanites (LOL) stopped by the hotel's 16th-floor bar on Saturday night. They had one drink, but appeared so intoxicated the bartender didn't think it fit to serve them a second round. So, they went to get a few cups of coffee and sober up, right? Wrong.
The three gentlemen proceeded to a stairwell and turned on the water valve—surely proving they were sober enough for another drink, right? The water valve, which shoots out 250 gallons of water a minute, caused $700,000 worth of damage to the property's elevators, marble flooring, and walls and ceilings. But there's a happy ending: all three of these charmers, who range in age from 24 to 25, were charged with criminal damages.
Fortunately, nothing seemed amiss on social media or on TripAdvisor, leading us to think the issues were probably hidden well from guests. Indeed, CBS News reported that it was largely the parking structure's elevators that were affected and not the regular guest elevators. But still, #neveragain drunk dudes. Never again.

The Virgin Hotel Chicago Now Has a General Manager
Now, this is a great sign for the upcoming Virgin Hotel Chicago, opening in September--the hotel just named their general manager.
Anna Anderson brings more than 25 years of hotel management experience to Virgin, having worked most recently at the Mosaic Hotel and the Maison 140 Hotel in Beverly Hills. She's also worked in the midwest before, at the motorcycle-themed Iron Horse Hotel in Milwaukee. So should Sir Richard Branson want to arrive in Chicago on his hog, she'll know what to do.
Virgin Hotels CEO, Raul Leal, had this to say about Anderson:
"Anna's innate ability to motivate her team to consistently deliver high levels of customer service made her the ideal candidate to lead the opening of our first property."
We love that she's wearing Virgin red in her photo too.
According to the Chicago Biz Journal, The Virgin Hotel Chicago will have 250 guest rooms, 40 one bedroom suites and 2 "rock star suites." Say what? This Virgin sure knows how to keep us hanging on.

The Godfrey Hotel Uniforms Showcase Local Design Talent
Along with showcasing local fare (hello, Eli's Cheesecake), the new Godfrey Hotel seems committed to putting local design talent in the spotlight. Chicago designer Anastasia Chatzka was tasked with stitching up the women's uniforms for the new River North property—and yep, she got a little Cubist on her sketch board.
"The uniforms were inspired by the hotel's decor," Chatzka told us. "I sat down with the interior design company when the hotel was being built, and made sure I had a strong understanding of the direction they were looking to go." Chatzka says she was given "an open palette" and creative freedom in the design process, and she was inspired by the hotel's "masculine edge."

The W Chicago City Center's New Suite Has Champagne Chilling...In the Bathtub
The W Chicago City Center hosted an early Valentine's Day bash on Tuesday night in their new Extreme Wow (or "EWow") Suite, which is different from any other suite in a few ways.
First: it has Space Invaders. That's right— just off the entrance, a small arcade area houses throwback games. As for the rest?
The 22nd-floor suite, which opened quietly in August, spans 1,500 square feet. In a made-for-entertaining living room area, a serpentine couch is topped with fuzzy throws and jewel-hued pillows; there's also a 55-inch TV and a high-top bar with seating for four. On the night we stopped by, the hotel's in-house mixologist Lauren Parton was whipping up personalized "love potion" sips behind the bar; we hear she works her magic, and can even lead demos, at all types of private W functions.
In the bedroom, a king-size bed is topped with 350-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets. A corner dressing salon—kind of perfect for bridal parties— has two, floor-to-ceiling mirrored wardrobes, a vanity desk with an illuminated oval mirror, and a three-way dressing mirror.

Disabled (ADA) Parking
All vehicles parked on campus must display a valid campus permit. A Disabled (ADA) placard issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles is not a substitute for a campus permit. The placard, however, entitles you to park in spaces not otherwise available to campus visitors, staff or students. The spaces are described below.
Your best option …
If you have a Disabled placard (or plate) and are an infrequent visitor to UCSB:
Consider purchasing a daily or short-term permit from permit dispensers located in parking lots throughout campus. View this
Short Term Rates
table to determine the cost of a permit.
If you become disabled:
The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is the sole authorizing agency for Disabled placards. If getting to your campus destination imposes a hardship, we suggest that you contact the DMV for information about obtaining an
Disabled (ADA) placard
. The DMV determines the duration of the placard.
A valid UCSB permit and a DMV-authorized Disabled placard entitles you to park in any Disabled space on campus.
If you are a disabled UCSB student and wish to apply for a
parking permit:
Students residing within two miles of campus need to visit the
Parking Services
office to apply for a Student permit. Be prepared to present your Disabled certificate and placard from the DMV. (Click
to determine whether the street on which you live is within two miles of campus.)
Students living outside the two-mile exclusion zone can apply for a Student permit online. Click
to begin an order.
Where to park
Every parking lot and structure on campus has spaces allocated to Disabled parking. Their approximate locations are marked by
on the Interactive Map, and may be viewed
Disabled placard holders may also park in any lot or space designated for visitors, students, faculty or staff. Time-restricted spaces may be used without regard for the posted time limit. Parking in metered spaces without paying the meter is allowed, provided that you display a valid placard and a valid campus permit.
Areas to avoid
Disabled placards are not valid in fire lanes, reserved or restricted areas, or in areas not designated for parking. Parking is not permitted at red curbs or in the blue crosshatched areas adjacent to the accessible spaces.❖
How Disabled spaces are allocated
Parking Services makes every effort to establish convenient parking spaces for disabled persons. The number and type of spaces are determined in accordance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines and specifications. The spaces are normally installed in parking areas close to building entrances.
We consider recommendations from the
Disabled Students Program
and other campus constituents to help us locate Disabled spaces.
❖ The University reserves the right to limit the use of parking areas to specific vehicle types as required by facility design or other considerations.
❖ The University may change any parking zone designation.
❖ The University may close, either temporarily or permanently, any parking area. Advance notice of parking area changes or closings is provided whenever practical.
❖ Parking permits are issued solely by Parking Services based on eligibility criteria, such as (but not limited to) faculty, staff, commuter, or residential student.
❖ Permits remain the property of UCSB and are not transferable.
❖ Permits are issued when the applicant has paid the required fee and provided proof of eligibility.
❖ Failure to provide and maintain accurate information on the parking permit application may result in citation, fine, the loss of parking privileges and referral to the Campus Police or the Dean of Students for disciplinary action.

text: My Ruegamer is a BB30. Ruegamer uses a carbon tube inside of the bb that is smaller than the part where the bearings sit. The bearings rest up against this inner tube. The width of the bb is 68mm. The bearing's Internal Diameter is slightly less than 42mm, so the bearings need to be pressed in to get a snug fit (it didn't come with bearings however). The inner tube diameter is approxiately the same size width as the THM bb30 adapter I'm trying to use, so i can't use this adapter unless if i sand a millimeter or so away from inner carbon tube. There is no metal insert in the bb. Its 100% carbon. I want to use the AX Morpheus compact crank. What are my options to get this crank to work with my frame? Sand the inside of the bb and use the THM adapter? Does this involve removing too much material (about 1mm all the way around)? Are there other options? The AX lightness site says the spindle is 30mm (doesn't that make it a bb30?) Are there any other bearings/adapters I could use to get the crank working with my frame?

UDGUracil DNA glycosylase superfamily
|SMART accession number:
|Interpro abstract (IPR005122):
This entry represents various uracil-DNA glycosylases and related DNA glycosylases (EC 3.2.2), such as uracil-DNA glycosylase [(PUBMED:7697717)], thermophilic uracil-DNA glycosylase [(PUBMED:10339434)], G:T/U mismatch-specific DNA glycosylase (Mug) [(PUBMED:9489705)], and single-strand selective monofunctional uracil-DNA glycosylase (SMUG1) [(PUBMED:2820976)]. These proteins have a 3-layer alpha/beta/alpha structure. Uracil-DNA glycosylases are DNA repair enzymes that excise uracil residues from DNA by cleaving the N-glycosylic bond, initiating the base excision repair pathway. Uracil in DNA can arise either through the deamination of cytosine to form mutagenic U:G mispairs, or through the incorporation of dUMP by DNA polymerase to form U:A pairs [(PUBMED:17116429)]. These aberrant uracil residues are genotoxic [(PUBMED:16860315)]. The sequence of uracil-DNA glycosylase is extremely well conserved [(PUBMED:2555154)] in bacteria and eukaryotes as well as in herpes viruses. More distantly related uracil-DNA glycosylases are also found in poxviruses [(PUBMED:8389453)]. In eukaryotic cells, UNG activity is found in both the nucleus and the mitochondria. Human UNG1 protein is transported to both the mitochondria and the nucleus [(PUBMED:8332455)]. The N-terminal 77 amino acids of UNG1 seem to be required for mitochondrial localization, but the presence of a mitochondrial transit peptide has not been directly demonstrated. The most N-terminal conserved region contains an aspartic acid residue which has been proposed, based on X-ray structures [(PUBMED:7845459)] to act as a general base in the catalytic mechanism.

2012 CAA Field Hockey Final Report
Five CAA field hockey players were selected to the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) All-America team, with Northeastern's Crystal Poland highlighting the list as a first-team All-American. Drexel's Amanda Fleischut and ODU's Christy Longacre picked up second-team All-America honors, while ODU's Sarah Breen and Northeastern's Deirdre Duke were named to the third team.
Northeastern senior forward Crystal Poland was selected as the 2012 NFHCA Northeast Region Player of the Year in a vote by the region's head coaches. Poland, the 2012 CAA Player of the Year and a First Team All-CAA selection, led Northeastern to a 14-7 overall record (5-2 CAA) and a 2012 NCAA Tournament appearance. The Crofton, British Columbia native recorded 63 points on 28 goals and 13 assists and was selected as a member of the 2012 CAA All-Tournament Team.
Nineteen CAA field hockey players were named to the 2012 Longstreth / NFHCA Division I All-Region Teams, including seven named to first teams.
Old Dominion concluded its season on Nov. 11 as it fell to top-seeded North Carolina 3-1 in the NCAA Field Hockey Championship second round. ODU finishes the season with a 15-6 record including a perfect 7-0 record in conference play.
Senior forward Maartje van Rijswijk tied an NCAA record for most goals in an NCAA tournament game, scoring five, to lead the No. 8 Old Dominion University field hockey team to a 6-1 victory over Michigan in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on November 10th.
Drexel University's field hockey program's historic season came to an end with a 5-0 loss to No. 2 Princeton in the opening round of its first ever automatic bid to the NCAA Championships hosted at the University of Virginia. The Dragons held the Tigers to one goal after the first 35 minutes of play, but Princeton went on a four-goal spurt in the second half securing the lead until the game clock expired. Drexel, the 2012 Colonial Athletic Association Champions, finished the season 15-7 overall (5-2 CAA).
Northeastern field hockey, charged with visiting the third seed in the 2012 NCAA Field Hockey Tournament, more than lived up to the challenge provided, but in the end, it was the Huskies donning the navy and white of University of Connecticut who came away with the 2-1 double overtime victory. NU (14-7, 5-2) was without CAA Player of the Year, Crystal Poland, who was sidelined with an injury,
Top-seeded Drexel won its first ever CAA Field Hockey Championship on November 4th after scoring the game-winning goal three minutes into overtime and securing a 2-1 victory over second-seeded Northeastern. The Dragons earned the CAA's automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament, also the first in school history.
The CAA was represented by three teams in the final NFHCA Top 25 poll released on November 6th. Old Dominion topped the list, ranking eighth. Also in the rankings was Northeastern at No. 12 and Drexel at No. 15. All three schools were ranked in the poll the entire 2012 season with ODU peaking at No. 5th on Sept. 4, Drexel at No. 15 on three occasions, and NU at No. 7 on Sept. 11th. William & Mary also spent four weeks in the rankings, peaking at No. 19 on Oct. 2nd.
