A scientific team from the U.S. and Germany reports that a group of 11 genes can successfully predict whether an individual is at increased risk of alcoholism.
The gene panel is highly accurate in its differentiation of alcoholics from controls at a population level, and less so at an individual level, likely due to the major and variable role environment plays in the development of the disease in each individual, noted the authors of the research paper ("Genetic risk prediction and neurobiological understanding of alcoholism"), which appears in Translational Psychiatry. Nevertheless, such a test could identify people who are at higher or lower risk for the disease, they add.
"This powerful panel of just 11 genes successfully identified who has problems with alcohol abuse and who does not in tests in three patient populations on two continents, in two ethnicities and in both genders," said Alexander B. Niculescu III, M.D., Ph.D., principal investigators and associate professor of psychiatry and medical neuroscience at the Indiana University School of Medicine. "We believe this is the strongest result to date in the field of alcoholism and offers a comprehensive—though not exhaustive—window to the genetics and biology of alcoholism."
The researchers incorporated data from a German genome-wide study of alcoholism with data from a variety of other types of research into genetic links to alcoholism using a system called Convergent Functional Genomics. The work produced a group of 135 candidate genes.
The scientists then looked at the overlap between those 135 genes and genes whose expression activity was changed in a mouse model of stress-reactive alcoholism. Analysis of the mouse model, which enables researchers to zero in on key genes that drive behavior without the myriad environmental effects that are present in humans, narrowed the candidates down to the panel of 11 genes and 66 variations of those genes called single-nucleotide polymorphisms.
The researchers then determined that the panel of 11 genes could be used to differentiate between alcoholics and nonalcoholics (controls) in three different research populations for which genetic data and information about alcohol consumption were available: a group of Caucasian subjects and a group of African American subjects from the U.S., and a third group from Germany.
"These genes fall into a series of biological pathways involved in signal transduction, transmission of nerve impulse (including myelination), and cocaine addiction," wrote the investigators. "Overall, our work provides leads toward a better understanding of illness, diagnostics, and therapeutics including treatment with omega-3 fatty acids. We also examined the overlap between the top candidate genes for alcoholism from this work and the top candidate genes for bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety from previous CFG analyses conducted by us, as well as cross-tested genetic risk predictions. This revealed the significant genetic overlap with other major psychiatric disorder domains, providing a basis for comorbidity and dual diagnosis, and placing alcohol use in the broader context of modulating the mental landscape."

"Find-A-Therapist" articles are usually marketing tools. They are often written by professional associations, who want you to find a member of their association; or by therapists who are advertising their services. Both are biased. Some are written by consumers in a well-meaning but ultimately fruitless attempt to decipher the confusing array of academic degrees, licenses and certifications of therapists. (Why fruitless? Keep reading.)
But since a degree, and even a license, may not guarantee the effectiveness of a counselor, this article will show you how to evaluate the true competence and effectiveness of a therapist or counselor based on very simple evidence YOU can gather with your own eyes and ears.

ST. LOUIS — Eugene Sims is living a dream from which he doesn't want to wake. Ethan Westbrooks hopes to do the same.
The two former West Texas A&M defensive linemen are with the St. Louis Rams. Sims is entering his fifth season after the Rams picked him in the sixth round of the 2010 draft. Westbrooks is an undrafted rookie who excelled at WT, breaking the NCAA Division II sack record as a junior with 191/2 and notching 471/2 tackles for losses in his two years with the Buffs.
"Nobody really takes too many chances on a D-II guy," Sims said Tuesday at Rams Park. "I'm grateful for what the Rams have done. They gave me this opportunity to fulfill a dream and compete every day to stay in this."
Westbrooks got his opportunity thanks to an excellent showing in January's East-West Shrine game, where he was selected as the game's defensive MVP.
"Playing there was great," said Westbrooks, who is listed as a defensive tackle but also plays end. "I got the experience of playing against dudes from Division I. I didn't feel like it was so much different. The guys are definitely bigger and some of them are quicker, but I felt very comfortable in that game."
West Texas A&M has sent numerous players to the NFL over the years. But the Buffs might be in their golden age with 15 former Buffs currently on NFL rosters. Four of them were on the field together Friday when the Rams hosted the New Orleans Saints in the preseason opener.
Sims and Westbrooks played against former WT running back Khiry Robinson, who ran for 23 yards on five carries and a touchdown, and offensive lineman Manase Foketi, who went head-to-head a few times with Westbrooks. Behind Robinson, Foketi and Westbrooks, the Buffs reached the NCAA Division II national semifinals.
"It was just good to see them again on the field," said Westbrooks, who had three tackles against the Saints. "It's refreshing to say the least to see dudes that you worked hard with."
Westbrooks admitted that he was nervous before his NFL debut, but watching the veterans play before he entered late in the second quarter calmed him down. Once he got through his first play, the jitters were gone.
"He's picking things up well," Rams coach Jeff Fisher said of Westbrooks. "He's playing all four positions. He's using his hands well. He never got tired in the preseason game and played a lot of snaps. He's got a chance to make some plays."
Playing up and down the line is something he learned playing for former WT coach Don Carthel. Initially, Westbrooks didn't like "to be boxed in" at defensive tackle, but the more he played inside, the more he liked it.
"Coach Carthel's a defensive genius," Westbrooks said. "It just opened my mind up and it wasn't as hard as it looked. Playing end, you get more movement, but at D-tackle, if you've got that speed and size to you, you can get around those giants. You definitely have to put your big boy pants on and man up in the middle."
Westbrooks is an Oakland, Calif., native who transferred to WT from Sacramento City Junior College. While working at Toys R Us in Sacramento, he decided he never again wanted to work a normal job. Just to be safe, he got a tattoo on his face that reads, "Laugh Now, Cry Later" the night before his final game in Sacramento, and his coaches noticed.
"My coaches were like, 'You definitely better go to the NFL now because you're not going to be able to get a job with that,'" Westbrooks recalled. "And I was like, 'I really don't plan to.'"
A football career isn't the only reason Westbrooks got the tattoo on his left cheek, but it is a daily reminder of what he'd like to achieve.
"It inspires me to do my best at this," Westbrooks said. "You really can't go back now and say forget this football stuff and get a desk job. It's there to stay, just like hopefully me in the NFL."
A nursing major at WT, Westbrooks would like to pursue a career in nursing after football.
"I know a doctor in the Bay area and she told me that it's probably not the smartest thing to get a tattoo on your face," Westbrooks quipped. "I went ahead and did it anyway. It's nothing a little makeup can't cover up. But it's motivating in its own right."
The face ink is one of Westbrooks' many tattoos, but his favorite is on his left forearm and reads, "FBF" for "Feed Baby Foundation."
"I'm my daughter's support system," Westbrooks said of his 3-year-old daughter Carina. "I feel like nobody else is going to feed her and that's my responsibility. That's the most important tattoo I've got."
Disappointed after he went undrafted, Westbrooks chose St. Louis over an offer from the Dallas Cowboys because he felt the Rams wanted him more after talking with general manager Les Snead and defensive line coach Mike Waufle.
Sims gives Waufle credit for transforming him from a 235-pound pass rusher into a complete 269-pound defensive end.
"I grew as a true defensive end," Sims said. "Coach Waufle put in the work and time on me. That helped me a lot to be a good defensive end and a run stopper, and he produced me as a better pass rusher as well."
After not recording a sack in either of his first two seasons, Sims has five sacks over the last two years and is also a key contributor on special teams, something he truly enjoys.
"He's gotten better and better each year," Fisher said. "He's one of those rare defensive ends who plays on special teams. He plays it well. He rushes, he's very strong and physical. He's got a huge upside."
Sims, who was drafted by then general manager Billy Devaney and coach Steve Spagnuolo, received a two-year extension last fall from the current regime.
"When they gave me that extension, it meant a lot," said Sims, who started against the Saints in the preseason opener and dropped Travaris Cadet for a 7-yard loss on the Saints opening possession.
After the Rams selected Sims, Devaney joked that the Rams "own West Texas A&M" because they selected former WT quarterback Keith Null in the sixth round of the 2009 draft. The Rams also signed former Buffs cornerback Tae Evans as an undrafted rookie in 2010.
"It was kind of like home," Sims said. "I had two guys I played with in college with whom I could talk to every day. It made me feel comfortable. That helped me a lot."
Westbrooks was familiar with the Rams recent history of signing former Buffs, specifically Sims.
"Everybody knew him," Westbrooks said. "The coaches loved him. I heard a lot about Eugene before I got here."
The relay of information from Carthel went both ways.
"They always told me about this defensive tackle," Sims said. "I followed him and now we're teammates. We were both West Texas Buffaloes and now we're Rams.
"He's a phenomenal player," Sims added. "As a professional, he's going to be a great player. He's explosive. He's got all the tools."
The Rams have one of the NFL's best defensive lines and only got stronger through the draft with the addition of first-round pick Aaron Donald of Pittsburgh.
Among the other drafted rookies is Missouri's Michael Sam, who is trying to become the first openly gay player to make an NFL roster. A final roster decision could come down to Sam or Westbrooks.
"You definitely get thrown into the big seat," Westbrooks said. "You've got to find your way to the top. There's no different from Division II or junior college, you've got to work your butt off. Coming from where I'm coming from, that's been my whole life story.
"Whether it's Robert Quinn, Aaron Donald, Eugene Sims or Chris Long, I've just got to work at it and don't stop ... I'm just trying to take this opportunity that can be life-changing for my family and make the best of it. I love to compete, whether it's against a seventh-rounder, an undrafted guy or a first-rounder, I'm not going to back down from nobody."
Quinn, Long and Donald are three of the four first-round picks — along with Michael Brockers — on the Rams defensive line.
"Playing with those guys, you have no choice but to compete and get better," Sims said. "They're such phenomenal players. Watching them compete and do what they do betters your game.''
That group now includes Westbrooks, who considers his path to the NFL a blessing.
"Coming from a Division II school, you hear a lot about how it's harder for the kids there to get out," Westbrooks said.
"I was just thankful for everybody who gave me a chance."
That list which includes Carthel and his son Colby, now the head coach at Texas A&M Commerce.
"They showed me nothing but love since I got there," Westbrooks said. "They really believe in me and, honestly, that's what set it off. They put so much into me. I felt like I could really be something."
Time will tell. Laugh now, cry later.

Aerosol influence both the regional and global climate of the earth by its direct and indirect effect. Role of atmospheric aerosols on the radiative forcing of atmosphere is a matter of serious research for past few decades and still it remains highly uncertain as acknowledged by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Heterogeneous nature of aerosol both spatially and temporally makes it more complex in estimating radiative forcing compared to that of greenhouse gases. Compounding to the existing difficulty in determining the climate effects, changing aerosol concentration and nature of the aerosol further increases the complexity in determining its effects in both regional and global climate. Increasing aerosol loading is emerging to be an issue of major concern over several regions. The first step towards achieving this goal is by determining the trends in the physical and optical properties of aerosol over the globe. Main objective of the thesis is the determination of the recent trends in aerosol loading over the globe and then to focus specifically on the properties of aerosol over an urban site in southern India. Specific objectives are (a) to determine the trend in aerosol physical and optical properties over the globe using AERONET surface observations (b) to characterize the chemical properties of water soluble inorganic aerosol over an urban site in Southern India, Bangalore (c) to have a better estimation of aerosol radiative forcing over Bangalore with measured aerosol chemical concentration, black carbon concentration and aerosol optical depth (AOD). To quantify the recent trends in aerosol loading over the globe, we have used the surface observations from AERONET and the study provided the first step in giving a global picture of the recent trends in the fundamental optical and physical property of aerosol. Trend analysis showed a significant spatial inhomogenity, and Asian continent clearly showed an increasing trend in AOD compared to other continents. Solar village (24.9oN, 46.4oE) of Saudi Arabia showed a maximum with a value of 0.04/yr and Bac -Giang (21oN, 106oE) of Vietnam showed the minimum value of -0.04/yr. North American study region included 18 sites in which eastern US (E.US) exhibited a decreasing trend while the scenario in western US (W.US) is different with more of sites with increasing AOD trend. Single scattering albedo (SSA) trend in W. US showed a decreasing trend irrespective of the AOD trend. Study sites in South America include Cordoba -CETT (31.5oNS, 64.5 oN W) Alta Floresta (9.8oS, 56.1 o W), Riobranco (9.9oNS, 67.8o W) and Soa Poulo (23.5oS, 46.7o W).Except Riobranco which has a positive trend in AOD, all other sites exhibited a statistically signi cant negative trend. Over Australia, there is an inclination towards increasing AOD in sites and all the three sites in Australia exhibit a statistically significant increasing trend in SSA. According to the recent trends in AOD over African region, there exists a significant decrease in AOD compared to that reported for few years earlier, showing the high temporal in homogeneity and need for continuous observation of aerosol over the regions. European study region included 15 stations, among them only 3 sites showed an increasing trend in AOD, remaining 12 sites showed a significant decreasing trend in aerosol loading over the period of study. SSA was also observed to be decreasing over most of the European sites, even with a decreasing AOD over most of the sites. A Comparison study carried out to determine the relation of population growth rate and aerosol loading, and it revealed that the increasing AOD trend not always coincided with the sites having high population growth rate. Having determined the trends in AOD and other aerosol parameters over the globe and seeing an alarmingly increasing trend over most of the Asian sites, especially over Indian region, we have then focused over work on the aerosol properties of one of the rapidly growing urban location in southern India, Bangalore. While physical properties of aerosol have been extensively studied over Bangalore, chemical characteristics are still an unexplored area. Extensive information on aerosol chemical composition is not available over Indian region except for a few locations based on campaign mode. Even available data is of very coarse temporal resolution, since hours or full day sampling is needed to gather enough samples for chemical analysis. High temporal resolution data of aerosol chemical characteristics, especially for all season is completely lacking over Indian subcontinent. Among aerosol, water soluble aerosol form an important component in particulate matter, since it can change its size, composition, can easily mix with other aerosols and can act as cloud condensation nuclei, based on its hygroscopic nature. Present study provided the rst time results from a high temporal resolution water soluble inorganic aerosol chemical data over Indian region, which is first step towards estimating aerosol climate impacts more accurately. Water soluble inorganic aerosol ions over Bangalore namely, sulphate, nitrate, chloride, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium and ammonium are measured using Particle Into Liquid Sampler Ion Chromatograph (PILS-IC). PILS is an online sampling technique for quantitatively measuring the chemical concentration of ion in water soluble aerosol particles. PILS IC used in the present study is developed in Georgia Institute of Technology. Instrument samples ambient air at a flow rate of 16.7Lmin 1. Particles below PM 2.5 micron are collected for the analysis using cyclone impactor. Two annular glass denuders are used to remove inorganic gases which else will interfere with the aerosol ion concentration. Ambient air which is deprived of the inorganic gases is then mixed with steam vapours at 150oC, eventually high supersaturated atmosphere is produced with rapid adiabatic mixing of steam and ambient air. High supersaturated air allows droplets to grow enough to be collected by inertial impaction onto a quartz impactor plate. Entire PILS condensation unit is kept at a slight tilt of 15o, to remove all condensate through drain tube connected to the end of the PILS condensate body. Condensed liquid sample is collected from the impaction chamber and known concentration LiF is allowed to mix with the collected sample at a constant rate. LiF known as carrier liquid is added to know the dilution occurring to the collected sample. Sample with carrier liquid is then collected to a debubbler and is supplied to the IC through peristaltic tubings for determining the ion chemical concentration. Seasonal variation of mass concentration of water soluble aerosol species and the influence of long range transport is carried out using HYSPILT back trajectory analysis. Marine air mass from Arabian Sea dominated the air parcel reaching the site for both SW monsoon and summer. Continental air mass dominated the site during both NE monsoon and winter with slight contribution from marine atmosphere. Source characteristics of sulphate, potassium, calcium and magnesium ions are carried out based on sea salt (ss) and non sea salt (nss) origin and it is observed that the nss contribution is dominant over the site for all these ions except magnesium where ss component comparatively dominates the source. SO24 and NO3 form the dominant anions while NH+4 makes the dominant cation species. Monthly variation of the ratio of ammonium to nss -sulphate is carried out to determine the possible cation -anion relation existing between these two major ions. During later winter and summer months ammonium bi sulphate is found to be the existing chemical form and ammonium sulphate during other seasons. High temporal resolution data enabled us to study the diurnal variation of aerosol ions and it is influenced by various mechanisms from boundary layer to local emissions. Optical properties of aerosols depend upon the size and the relative abun-dance of each components. It is usual practice to assume default aerosol chemical composition in radiative transfer models due to unavailability of data, which can lead to errors in forcing estimates. Incorporating realistic aerosol chemical composition in models is essential to reduce the uncertainty in aerosol radiative forcing. Hence we have included measured aerosol chemical compositions, black carbon and AOD to improve the determination of radiative forcing of aerosol. OPAC and SBDART models were used for estimating the aerosol radiative forcing over Bangalore. We have used mainly four components namely, soot, water soluble, sea salt and dust. Except dust all are other components are measured over the site and formed a constrain for the calculation. Dust concentration was altered so that the OPAC AOD matched the measured AOD within 5%. Mineral dust shows the highest contribution in AOD among the four components, however water soluble and soot even being less is mass concentration compared to mineral dust, has significant impact on the AOD. This clearly indicate the influence of both water soluble and soot aerosol over the regional climate of the site. Sea Salt exhibited low AOD compared to other three constituents. The results presented in the thesis highlights the importance of varying trends in the aerosol properties and its effects on a global picture and speci - cally over an urban site in Indian region , we explored the temporal variations of water soluble inorganic aerosol ions and its effects on regional climate. Hence the thesis addressed some of the unexplored areas in aerosol science. This study also suggests the need of continuous observation of aerosol over both spatial and temporal scale, which is essential to estimate their effects on earth's climate. 2015-12-07T18:30:00Z Variation Of Marine Boundary Layer Characteristic Over Bay Of Bengal And Arabian Sea http://hdl.handle.net/2005/2532 Title: Variation Of Marine Boundary Layer Characteristic Over Bay Of Bengal And Arabian Sea Authors: Rai, Deepika Abstract: The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is the lowest layer of the atmosphere where surface effects are felt on time scales of about an hour. While its properties are determined by the surface characteristics, season and synoptic conditions, they in turn determine convective cloud properties and are required for the representation of cloud processes in atmospheric models. Further, interaction of the ABL with the surface layer of the ocean is a key component of ocean-atmosphere coupling. ABL characteristics over ocean surrounding the sub-continent become very important for understanding the monsoon processes during the monsoon season because the roots of many monsoon systems, that give rain to India, are over there. In this thesis data used are from three major field experiments namely the Bay of Bengal Monsoon Experiment (BOBMEX, 1999), Arabian Sea Monsoon Experiment (ARMEX, in two phases, ARMEX-I during 2002 and ARMEX-II in 2003), and Continental Tropical Convergence Zone (CTCZ) experiment (Pilot in 2009) which were carried out under the Indian Climate Research Programme (ICRP). While there have been few studies on ABL characteristics for individual cruises, a comprehensive study considering all available radiosonde data from the above cruises has been missing. This study fills this gap and focuses on the vertical structure of ABL using more than 400 high resolution Vaisala GPS radiosonde data collected over Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. The study attempts at first to look at the ABL characteristics of individual cruises and then compare and contrast them over the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. ABL height Hm, estimated by using virtual potential temperature (θv) profile, shows diurnal variation during weak phase of convection while maximum in early morning during active phase of convection. Different variables i.e. moist static energy (h), specific humidity (q), convective available potential energy (CAPE), virtual potential temperature (θv) and equivalent potential temperature (θe) also differ during weak and active convection periods. Conserved variables mixing line approach gives the height up to which ground thermals penetrate in the vertical. This height, denoted by MH that represents the actual ABL height, is 2-3 times larger than Hm when shallow convective clouds are present. In general both Hm and MH are 20-30% larger over Arabian Sea compares to that over Bay of Bengal. Comparison of surface convective available potential energy (CAPE) and equivalent potential temperature (θe) between normal and deficit monsoon years shows that convective instability was as large in deficit years. This means that dynamic and not thermodynamics, controlled the occurrence of convection. 2016-05-03T18:30:00Z Assesment Of Air Quality And Anthropogenic Aerosol Fraction Over India Using Observations And Model http://hdl.handle.net/2005/2418 Title: Assesment Of Air Quality And Anthropogenic Aerosol Fraction Over India Using Observations And Model Authors: Srivastava, Nishi Abstract: Air quality degradation is emerging to be an issue of major concern in India. Recent investigations have shown that anthropogenic aerosols have significant impact on climate as well as on health. In fourth assessment report of IPCC, it has been mentioned that radiative effects of anthropogenic aerosols constitute one of the major uncertainties in assessing aerosol-induced climate impact. In addition to climate impacts, aerosol causes respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, air quality degradation, acidification of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Characterization of anthropogenic aerosol fraction (defined as the fraction of anthropogenic aerosols to composite aerosols) is an appealing topic of research in current scenario. The first step towards achieving this goal is to separate natural aerosol from composite aerosols, which is a complex task. The main objective of this thesis work is the assessment of air quality and anthropogenic aerosol fraction over India using observations (ground-based as well as satellite-based) and chemistry-transport model. Specifically objectives are (a) assessment of air quality and anthropogenic aerosol fraction over Indian region (b) develop a method to derive natural aerosol properties over land and oceans using multi-satellite data analysis, which is first step towards separating natural aerosol effects from its anthropogenic counter parts and (c) evaluate performance of CHIMERE chemistry-transport model for Indian region and validate its suitability to air quality studies over India. In this thesis, different approaches have been followed such as ground-based observations, multi-satellite data analysis and CHIMERE transport model. We have used multi-year observations of particulate mass (PM) concentration, aerosol black carbon (BC) mass concentration and aerosol optical depth (AOD) from a network of observatories to make an assessment of ambient air quality over India. First, we have developed a method to estimate dust and sea-salt optical depth using multi-satellite data analysis. This enabled the determination of anthropogenic aerosol fraction over land and ocean and we have validated this method by comparing against observations. Surprisingly, even over desert locations in India and Saudi Arabia, the anthropogenic fraction were unexpectedly high (~0.3 to 0.4) and the regionally averaged anthropogenic fraction over India was 0.620.06 (for the year 2004). The CHIMERE chemistry-transport model was used to simulate PM, BC and AOD over India and are compared with measurements. Evaluation of CHIMERE output shows that diurnal and seasonal trends are captured reasonably well by the model. It was found that absolute magnitudes differ substantially during monsoon months. Model simulations are also used to estimate anthropogenic fraction over Indian region and are compared with observations. Implications of the results are discussed. Mineral dust constitutes the single largest contributor of natural aerosols over continents. The first step towards separating natural aerosol radiative impact from its anthropogenic counterparts over continents is to gather information on dust aerosols. The infrared (IR) radiance (10.5–12.5 mm) acquired from the Kalpana satellite (8-km resolution) was used to retrieve regional characteristics of dust aerosols over the Afro-Asian region during the winter of 2004, coinciding with a national aerosol campaign. Here, we used aerosol-induced IR radiance depression as an index of dust load. The regional distribution of dust over various arid and semi-arid regions of India and adjacent continents has been estimated, and these data in conjunction with regional maps of column aerosol optical depth (AOD) are used to infer anthropogenic aerosol fraction. Surprisingly, even over desert locations in India and Saudi Arabia, the anthropogenic fraction were relatively high (0.3 to 0.4) and the regionally averaged anthropogenic fraction over India was 0.62 ±0.06. Sea-salt constitutes the single largest contributor of natural aerosols over oceans. We derive sea-salt aerosol distribution using a method utilizing multi-satellite data analysis. This information was used in conjunction with dust aerosols retrieval to calculate anthropogenic fraction over land and ocean. First, we derived a relation between MODIS AOD and NCEP wind speed at the sea-surface. An exponential increase in AOD as a function of wind speed was observed from mid of southern ocean to northern Arabian Sea. Latitudinal variation of wind independent component of optical depth (τ0) and wind index (b) was used to estimate the sea-salt optical depth over Arabian Sea. The value of τ0 showed an exponential increase as we move towards north from 35°S while b showed linear increase. The derived relations for the τ0 and b have been used to derive the sea-salt AOD distribution over oceanic regions in the domain (Eq-30°N; 30°E-110°E). Then we subtract the natural aerosol contribution from composite AOD data from MISR to obtain anthropogenic aerosol fraction. Over Indian region, high anthropogenic fraction was observed over northern belt specifically Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP). Annually averaged anthropogenic fraction over Indian domain (4N-29.5N; 67E-88.5E) is ~0.43. Further, we have investigated the impact of sea-surface winds on sea-salt radiative effect in visible and infrared region with the help of SBDART radiative transfer model. The SBDART simulations have shown that at 15 m s-1, sea-salt induced shortwave cooling at the sea-surface was -86 W m-2. Derivation of anthropogenic aerosol fraction over whole Indian domain has demonstrated the importance of anthropogenic aerosols. This observation motivated us to examine the air quality over Bangalore, a fast growing city in India. We have analyzed data from ground based measurements of particulate matter, observations from satellites and also model simulations. Comparison with national threshold indicates that more than 50% of observations were above the residential threshold. To represent the air quality of Bangalore we have calculated the air quality index (AQI) for air pollutants. Coarse spatial and temporal resolution of observational data is one major shortcoming in such analysis. Therefore, satellite observations are alternative to quantify the air quality over large area. We have used MODIS AOD and RSPM to develop an empirical relation between these two parameters. A reasonably good agreement was observed between measured RSPM and RSPM derived using satellite data (by applying empirical relation). The CHIMERE chemistry-transport model was used to simulate PM, BC and AOD over India and are compared with measurements. Evaluation of CHIMERE output shows that diurnal and seasonal trends are captured reasonably well by the model. It was found that absolute magnitudes differ substantially during pre-monsoon and monsoon months. Model simulations are also used to estimate anthropogenic fraction over Indian region and are compared with observations. Implications of the results and future scope are discussed. The validation of model results suggests that CHIMERE model is suitable for simulating air quality over India with reasonable accuracy. This would in turn help us to address the impacts of air pollution on regional climate and help policy makers in order to reduce the air pollution. In summary, we have developed a new method to infer natural aerosol (sea-salt and dust) properties using multi-satellite data analysis. This technique has been applied to derive anthropogenic aerosol fraction over Indian region. Surprisingly, even over desert locations in India and Saudi Arabia, the anthropogenic fraction were relatively high (0.3 to 0.4) and regionally averaged anthropogenic fraction over India was 0.62±0.06 in 2004. This study indicates that multi-satellite observations can provide a powerful tool in monitoring air quality. We have noticed that anthropogenic fraction was 0.62 in 2004 and reduced to 0.43 in 2008. Major anthropogenic aerosol over India is BC and decreasing trend in BC could be one of the reasons for the decrease in anthropogenic fraction from 2004 to 2008. The CHIMERE chemistry-transport model was used to simulate PM, BC and AOD over India and are compared with measurements. Evaluation of CHIMERE output shows that diurnal and seasonal trends are captured reasonably well by the model. It was found that absolute magnitudes differ substantially during pre-monsoon and monsoon months. Presence of elevated aerosol layers during these seasons could be one of the sources for such discrepancy. Model simulations of anthropogenic fraction over Indian region are compared with observations and found good agreement. Results from this thesis moves us one step forward to reduce the uncertainties involved in anthropogenic aerosol fraction, its spatial and temporal distributions and regional distribution of OC/BC ratio, which are most important parameters in order to assess the climate forcing by anthropogenic aerosols. 2014-12-10T18:30:00Z Observed Subseasonal Variability Of Temperarture And Salinity In The Tropical Indian Ocean http://hdl.handle.net/2005/2040 Title: Observed Subseasonal Variability Of Temperarture And Salinity In The Tropical Indian Ocean Authors: Parampil, Sindu Raj Abstract: Subseasonal variability of tropical Indian Ocean sea surface temperature is thought to influence the active-break cycle of the Asian monsoon. There are several open questions related to the role of surface fluxes, large-scale ocean circulation and subsurface ocean processes in the subseasonal variability of upper ocean temperature. We present a unified study of the subseasonal (2-90 day) variability of surface heat flux and upper ocean temperature and salinity throughout the tropical Indian Ocean in all seasons. We focus on the relation between surface fluxes and ocean response using a new satellitebased daily heat flux. The role of ocean processes (advection, entrainment and mixing) in determining SST variability is diagnosed from the daily satellite SST. Before the onset of the summer monsoon, sea surface temperature (SST) of the north Indian Ocean warms to 30-32oC. Climatological mean mixed layer depth in spring (March-May) is 10-20 m, and net surface heat flux (Qnet) is 80-100 Wm2 into the ocean. It has been suggested that observed spring SST warming is small mainly due to (a) penetrative flux of solar radiation through the base of the mixed layer (Qpen), (b) advective cooling by upper ocean currents and (c) entrainment of sub-mixed layer cool water. We estimate the role of the first two processes in SST evolution from a two-week ARMEX experiment in April-May 2005 in the the southeastern Arabian Sea. The upper ocean is stratified by salinity and temperature, and mixed layer depth is shallow (6 to 12 m). Current speed at 2 m depth is high even under light winds. Currents within the mixed layer are quite distinct from those at 25 m. On subseasonal scales, SST warming is followed by rapid cooling. The cooling occurs although the ocean gains heat at the surface - Qnet is about 105 Wm2 in the warming phase, and 25 Wm2 in the cooling phase; penetrative loss Qpen, is 80 Wm2 and 70 Wm2. In the warming phase, SST rises mainly due to heat absorbed within the mixed layer, i.e. Qnet minus Qpen; Qpen, reduces the rate of SST warming by a factor of three. In the second phase, SST cools rapidly because (a) Qpen, is larger than Qnet, and (b) advective cooling is _85 Wm2. A calculation using time-averaged heat fluxes and mixed layer depth suggests that diurnal variability of fluxes and upper ocean stratification tends to warm SST on subseasonal time scale. Buoy and satellite data suggest that a typical premonsoon intraseasonal SST cooling event occurs under clear skies and weak winds, when the ocean is gaining heat. In this respect, premonsoon SST cooling in the north Indian ocean is different from that due to MJO or monsoon ISO. As a follow-up to ARMEX, we use a short dataset from a field campaign in the premonsoon north Bay of Bengal to study diurnal variability of SST. In addition to the standard meteorological and hydrographic parameters measured from shipborne instruments and buoy sensors, we obtained a two-hourly record of subsurface sunlight profiles. Heat fluxes are seen to drive the SST warming during the day while both advection and entrainment/mixing are important during the night. The simple heat balance based on heat flux shows that it drives the diurnal cycle of SST, though ocean processes contribute towards night time cooling; this has been confirmed using the Price-Weller-Pinkel mixing model forced by heat flux and wind stress. A similar analysis for mixed layer salinity revealed that the salt balance in the region is dominated by advection rather than freshwater flux or entrainment/mixing. Buoy and satellite data show pronounced subseasonal oscillations of sea surface temperature (SST) in the summertime north Indian Ocean. The SST oscillations are forced mainly by surface heat flux associated with the active-break cycle of the south Asian summer monsoon. The input of freshwater (FW) from summer rain and rivers to the Bay is large, but not much is known about subseasonal salinity variability. We use 2002-2007 observations from Argo floats with 5-day repeat cycle to study the subseasonal response of temperature and salinity to surface heat and freshwater flux in the central Bay of Bengal and central Arabian Sea. Estimates of surface heat and freshwater flux are based on daily satellite data sampled along the float trajectory. We find that intraseasonal variability (ISV) of mixed layer temperature is mainly a response to net surface heat flux minus penetrative radiation during the summer monsoon season. In winter and spring, however, temperature variability appears to be mainly due to ocean processes rather than local heat flux. Variability of mixed layer freshwater content is generally independent of local surface flux (precipitation minus evaporation) in all seasons. There are occasions when intense monsoon rainfall leads to local freshening, but these are rare. The large subseasonal fluctuations observed in FW appear to be due to advection, suggesting that freshwater from rivers and rain moves in eddies or filaments. We have developed a new daily satellite-based heat flux dataset for the tropical Indian Ocean (30oE 120oE; 30oS 30oN); satellite data include surface air temperature and relative humidity from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS). On the seasonal scale (> 90 days) the flux compares reasonably well with climatologies and other daily data. On the subseasonal scale, our flux product has realistic behaviour relative to buoy data at validation sites. An important result is that ocean processes (advection, entrainment/detrainment, mixing at the base of the mixed layer) cool the tropical Indian Ocean SST by 8oC over the year. The largest contribution of ocean processes (_20oC SST cooling over the year) is in the western equatorial Indian Ocean. Ocean processes generally cool the upper ocean in all seasons and all regions, except in boreal winter, when they warm the north Indian Ocean. This is likely due to entrainment of warm sub-mixed layer water in regions of inversions. On subseasonal (2-90 days) scales, the contribution of air temperature and humidity to latent heat flux is roughly equal to the contribution from wind speed variability: Another interesting finding is that the contribution of air temperature and humidity increases away from the equator. One of the most important contributions of this thesis is the demonstration that tropical Indian Ocean SST has a coherent response to intraseasonal changes in heat flux associated with organised convection in the summer hemisphere. SST responds to flux in (i) the northeast Indian Ocean during May-October and (ii) the 15oS-5oN region during November-April. In the winter hemisphere and in regions with no organised convection, it is ocean processes and not fluxes which drive the subseasonal changes in SST. This result suggests that SST ISV feeds back to organise and sustain organised convection in the tropical atmosphere. 2013-06-09T18:30:00Z

for Piece of Certified Crap.Got out of my position yesterday,that was the worst trade I have ever done, so a BIG FCUK U!!!!!!!!!! to the market makers, the insiders and the motherfckers that have been holding this thing down for the last century with those god damn stinking FAKE offers. Wash and churn wash and churn wash and churn between accounts you boring asss fcks!!!!!! enough said
Have you actually looked at the fundamentals of the company? Its a piece of trash. No tangible assets, inept management(now gone), no real sustainable business model, a competitor (Valero LP) that is rapidly taking over the LPG to Mexico niche market. Those that were hoping that this would be another ABLE are dreaming.The only chance is if someone uses it as a reverse merger or a vehicle to acquire something like Dynegy's NGL assets. A deal that involved a PE firm, buying the Dynegy NGL biz, then dropping it into RVEP for units, and simultaneously buying new equity in Penn Octane, so they gain control of the GP, and then afterwards, pawn off the LP units of RVEP and be left holding the GP. Other than that, its like buying a lottery ticket with really bad odds.
Your argument is sound however I was trained as a trader and not an analyst so facts and figures dont mean much to me.
Belive it or not ,from the SIRI board last dec.Been averaging up from 2.40.Did ok on ESLR but got out to soon
nice move here,congrats yourself.DESC still doing fine

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Nothing Beats Immunoassays for Sensitivity, Specificity,...
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center says it will spend up to $3 billion over the next decade to target eight cancers by translating research into new treatments as quickly as possible—an effort the institution likens to the U.S. space program of a half-century ago.
MD Anderson's "Moon Shots Program" will marry interdisciplinary teams of academic and industry professionals funded and staffed to focus on cancer-fighting efforts ranging from basic and translational research to biomarker-driven clinical trials, to behavioral interventions and public policy initiatives.
Moon Shots is set for a February 2013 launch, with full implementation expected by mid-2013.
Six teams of researchers and clinicians have been selected by MD Anderson to target acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, melanoma, lung cancer, prostate cancer,and triple-negative breast and ovarian cancers.
The teams were chosen based on criteria that assess not only the current state of scientific knowledge of the disease across the entire cancer-care continuum from prevention to survivorship, but also their strength and breadth, and potential for near-term measurable success in lowering cancer mortality, MD Anderson said.
Rather than allow researchers or their teams to develop their own support infrastructure, Moon Shots envisions a single set of technology platforms for use by all teams incorporating adaptive learning in genomic medicine, big data, community-based cancer control and prevention efforts, clinical genomics, diagnosis development, data analytics, and early detection via imaging and proteomic technologies.
In addition, a new Center for Co-Clinical Trials will test new drugs or combinations using mouse cells or cell models of human cancers. New institutes will specialize in developing effective targeted cancer drugs and personalized cancer therapy. Patient biospecimen collection will be centralized to profile genes and proteins, identify mutation, and predict therapy-related toxicity. And, to speed up drug development and clinical trials, a new translational research framework will be adopted.
Funding for Moon Shots will come from institutional earnings, philanthropy, competitive research grants and commercialization of new discoveries. MD Anderson says the program will not disrupt its existing roughly $700 million-a-year research program in all cancers.
"Generations later, the Moon Shots Program signals our confidence that the path to curing cancer is in clearer sight than at any other time in history," Ronald A. DePinho, M.D., MD Anderson's president, said in a statement. "Humanity urgently needs bold action to defeat cancer. I believe that we have many of the tools we need to pick the fight of the 21st century."

Historical Traveler Reviews La Jolla Inn
On New Year's Eve my best friend and I booked a room at the La Jolla Inn to celebrate her birthday. I found the hotel on line at a fantastic rate considering it was New Year's eve. It's located smack dab in the heart of La Jolla, next door to the famed La Valencia Hotel. The hotel is small but ever so charming. The rooms are small also but decorated English country style with beautiful bedding. We had a small patio overlooking the cove and the Pacific Ocean. The crowning glory to this fabulous find is the deck on top of the hotel. The view is spectacular!
Loved this La Jolla hotel!
We absolutely loved this hotel! The staff was the friendliest we've ever seen. This hotel had the best location in La Jolla and for a quarter of the price of it's neighbors. We will definately recommend this hotel to our friends and family!
Terrible accomodations at the La Jolla Inn
I originally found the La Jolla Inn on Hotels. The pictures were beautiful and the accomodations looked great. As it was a last minute reservation, I had to prepay the room with no refund available. When my sister and her guest arrived, as I was meeting her the next day, her guest wouldn't even stay there. It was dirty and there was so much traffic noise that we could not sleep. I made a complaint to the front desk and she told me they would make a credit to my bill. I wanted to check out that night. The next day, the clerk told me the owner decided not to give me any credit, that I complained too late. Very poor service and broken promises. Do not stay here. Very small rooms
Great place- very friendly staff!
we loved having breakfast brought up to the room, which had an excellent view and was very comfortable. the staff was very friendly and the inn is in an excellent location. there is also a great little restaurant right across the street. who cares where the car is when everything you need is a short walk away!
Money for a View
The La Jolla Inn is in a perfect location of the village and the view was absolutely phenomenal. (You obviously are paying for that) The hotel on the other hand had a few problems....parking was 3 blocks away and underground, found a broken alarm clock upon arrival, curtain rod fell down while ironing, continental breakfast (1 croissant with a juice only), denied the AAA discount and was told they did not accept it, however found 3 websites stating they did. The room was extremely small, bathroom was even smaller and the towels are so thin and rough that they scratched your skin. When mentioning my concerns to the staff, we received an "I'm sorry"....it will be $1008!!!!!!!!!!! Do not recommend this hotel unless you want a very expensive view of the Pacific Blue!
Very happy with our stay at la jolla inn...
stayed at the la jolla inn last week...room was somewhat small but comfortable...location was one block from the beach, and as close as you can get to the main shopping, galleries, etc of la jolla. only complaints, and they really were minor, were 1, the street is quite noisy (though the ocean view makes up for it) and 2, the parking is 2 blocks away...we really didn't mind the parking as we walked everywhere and didn't use our car much during our stay, but for some folks this might be a problem. the continental breakfast was sparse but adequate, served on either thier sun porch or on your private deck. stafff very nice. overall were happy with our stay there, and would stay there again.
A room with a european feeling and a very friendly staff
My wife and I just returned from staying at this wonderful, small hotel (6/29/03). The hotel was right in the heart of the La Jolla's shopping and wonderful restaurants and the beach is a couple blocks away. Our room had a view of the ocean and a ocean fresh breeze. The room was very clean and furnished very colorfully. The staff always was very friendly and offered advice on where to go for dinners and sites. Every morning, we went for the 2.4 mile walk along the beach for exercise. We were very satisfied with this small hotel and would recommend it to anyone. At night, the sounds of the evening crowd came thru our open slider but did not disturb our sleep on the very comfortable bed.
Better Than What We Booked
The front desk staff sold us. We had originally checked in and out of a waterfront dump of a hotel and completely by accident wound up calling this hotel re: vacancies. Katie and Lorraine were so wonderful and made us comfortable with our choice to stay. The rooms are small but nicely furnished. AM breakfast in the room or on the sundeck. Afternoon beverages and snack in the lobby. Helpful desk staff - restaurant recommendations were superb. Convenience store off of lobby. Good location, beautiful view of ocean but a little noisy when the bars let out and the trash gets picked up. No screen on slider but could have opted to turn on AC if we had wanted. Parking is a walk but not a big deal for us. After what we saw in the room we had at a beach front hotel - CLEAN was more important than anything.
Hated the La Jolla Inn
Visited here in August of 2002 and we were extremely disappointed. Very noisy with public bathrooms across the street in use all night long. Very poor service from employees, poor parking, and very poorly designed bathrooms with windows next to the walkways that offer no privacy. We had to tape newspapers over the window for privacy. Save your money, go to mission bay.
Very Enjoyable Stay
We spent five days over the Christmas 2002 holiday and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Inn has a great location in the middle of the Village. Rooms are small but have been recently reworked and have new furnishings. Most rooms have a view of the ocean and Scripps Park. The desk staff is available 24 hours and was very helpful. The only drawback is the free parking is three blocks away in the basement of the Hard Rock Cafe.

Eli Young Band gets up to speed for Kenny Chesney opener

Drink, meet dish, Part 2: A smart Cocktail Week menu at c.1880
I rarely have room in my schedule to attend special pairing dinners, those multicourse events that match dishes with wine, beer or cocktails. But I love 'em; it's such a pleasure to see chefs unleash their creativity and to hear what went into the making of a dish and the spirit, and taste how the food and drink relate.
For the inaugural Milwaukee Cocktail Week, c.1880 in Walker's Point is serving a five-course menu on Monday with drinks made with Great Lakes Distillery spirits. It opens with a riff on a Bloody Mary, in food and drink: »Read Full Blog Post

Skylight takes Beethoven to Bollywood with ferocious 'Fidelio'
The Skylight Music Theatre doesn't have an official mascot, but it might think about borrowing the giant tiger Raghava KK designed for its "Fidelio." The feline could serve as a fitting avatar for the ferocious vitality new artistic director Viswa Subbaraman is bringing to the Skylight.
Subbaraman and his creative team infused this production of Beethoven's only opera with a set design, costumes, movements and gestures drawn from Indian culture and Bollywood. They brought color and movement to an opera that could easily be static on stage, and a liveliness of spirit to a show that could come across as a bit preachy, with its brotherhood-of-man lyrics, while sacrificing nothing musically. »Read Full Article(2)

Source: US Navy Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System EMALS — the newest carrier catapult technology in 60 years — completed the second and final phase of aircraft compatibility testing (ACT) this spring with the first-ever launches of the legacy Hornet, that marked the 35th anniversary of its inaugural flight last year. Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System "This is an amazing and pivotal time for naval aviation," said Capt. Frank Morley, who leads the F/A-18 and EA-18G Program Office (PMA-265). "Who would have thought 35 years ago that the Hornet would launch from anything other than steam catapult technology. We are fortunate to witness this historic milestone." Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System EMALS is replacing the steam launch system beginning with the new Ford-class carriers. USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) is under construction at the Huntington Ingalls Industries shipyard in Newport News, Virginia, where nearly all EMALS hardware components have been delivered and installed. Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System "The successful manned-aircraft test launches replicated various carrier situations to demonstrate that the catapult would provide the required aircraft end-speed and to validate EMALS launch-critical reliability," said George Sulich, EMALS integrated test team lead. Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System The first phase of ACT successfully ended in fall 2011 with 134 manned aircraft launches, comprising the F/A-18E Super Hornet, T-45C Goshawk, C-2A Greyhound, E-2D Advanced Hawkeye and F-35C Lightning II. Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System ACT phase two, which concluded April 6, included launches of the EA-18G Growler and F/A-18C Hornet, and another round of launches with the current carrier-deployed aircraft that completed ACT phase one. Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System The program office concluded ACT with 452 manned launches and, for the last several months, has been busy delivering the final components of the system to CVN 78. Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System "It's an exciting time for EMALS. We're very pleased to be this close to delivering EMALS to the United States Navy," said Capt. Jim Donnelly, program manager for the Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment Program Office (PMA-251), adding that CVN 78 is projected to deliver in spring 2016, and at-sea EMALS aircraft launches will begin shortly thereafter. Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System Starting in late 2015, the ship is scheduled to launch dead-loads, or weighted sleds, from the system, leading up to manned launches after delivery. Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System More than 25 years of technology development has gone into EMALS, resulting in the current configuration being installed on CVN 78. Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System "EMALS was facing reliability questions in 2008, and the program has rebounded from these early struggles and is now in a good place to deliver the fleet a robust next-generation, carrier-launch system," said Rear Adm. Donald Gaddis, Program Executive Officer for Tactical Aircraft (PEO(T)), which oversees PMA-251. Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System EMALS is a complete carrier-based launch system, designed to expand the operational capability of the Navy's future carriers to include all current and future planned carrier air wing platforms – from lightweight unmanned to heavy strike fighters. It delivers necessary higher-launch energy capacity; substantial improvements in system maintenance; increased reliability and efficiency; and more accurate end-speed control, with a smooth acceleration at both high and low speeds. Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System "With each passing test day, the system continues to prove its reliability and demonstrate the advantages it brings to the fleet," Donnelly said. "The whole EMALS team has done a fantastic job in the last few years to make this technology a reality." < 1 2 3 4 5 > Follow @indiatimes 357 facebook twitter reddit gplus Comment Here Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System The past and future overlapped recently on a land-based test site at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey, when the near-silent armature of the U.S. Navy's new Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) propelled an F/A-18C Hornet.
