Background and Philosophy: Dr. Siegel's research specializes in the invention, development and delivery of a wide range of specialized sensor and source devices, components, and instruments spanning the frequency range between 100 and 10,000 GHz which includes the millimeter, submillimeter and far infrared wavelength regimes: the terahertz bands. Emphasis is placed on a cross disciplinary approach which brings together a diverse range of backgrounds and skills that can be directly applied towards progress in bridging the electronic and optical regimes, one of the last remaining technology gaps in the electromagnetic spectrum. Students and staff working with Dr. Siegel include electrical engineers, physicists, biologists and chemists from a wide range of backgrounds and countries. Research work is conducted both at Caltech and at the nearby Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where the emphasis is on Earth, space science and planetary applications of THz technology. Dr. Siegel has recently founded a small international consulting company, THz Global, through which he is continuing his THz research work in collaboration with an international team of colleagues with expertise that spans the full range of millimeter and submillimeter wave applications.
Over the past 26 years Dr. Siegel and his Submillimeter Wave Advanced Technology team at JPL and Caltech have developed and delivered critical sensor hardware for four space flight missions: NASA's Upper Atmospheric Research Satellite Microwave Limb Sounder, the first instrument to directly measure the anti-correlation between chlorine monoxide build up and ozone depletion on a global scale; NASA's Earth Observing System Aura Microwave Limb Sounder currently measuring a wide range of stratospheric molecular species involved in ozone depletion, global water distribution, climate change and pollution monitoring across the Earth; European Space Agency's Microwave Instrument on the Rosetta Orbiter (MIRO), scheduled to rendezvous with comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko in 2014 and measure nuclear temperature and out gassing rates of carbon monoxide, water, ammonia and methanol; and most recently the Heterodyne Instrument for the Far Infrared (HIFI) on the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Telescope, an ambitious astrophysics mission to record thousands of molecular signatures between 300 and 1900 GHz in and around star forming regions and in external galaxies, as a means of understanding the composition and evolution of the universe. Future mission opportunities include a Discovery class instrument for Venutian cloud measurements, Vesper; a Mars orbiter searching for volcanic emission and life signatures, Marvel/SIGNAL (Submillimeter Investigation of Geothermal Networks and Life); and a Europa orbiter previewing a new technique, Terahertz Radar Absorption Chemistry Experiment (TRACE) being pioneered in the SWAT group, to detect signatures from chemicals sputtered off the Europan surface by the high intensity radiation environment around Jupiter. Third generation Earth science and several new astrophysics missions are also in the near and long term planning and proposal phases.
In addition to Earth, planetary and space science, Dr. Siegel is interested in terrestrial applications of terahertz imaging and spectroscopy and has been actively pursuing several related initiatives in the health and biological sciences at Caltech as well as defense and security applications at both Caltech and JPL. The very first National Institute of Health program in the terahertz field, granted to Dr. Siegel in 2002, had the goal of developing high signal-to-noise imaging and spectroscopy instruments for disease diagnostics. A second THz NIH program to develop low loss terahertz waveguide for endoscopy applications has also been completed. A consortium proposal with Stanford University School of Medicine and ZOmega Inc. to apply this newly established terahertz frequency and time domain instrumentation to skin cancer, in the first US health science application of terahertz in a clinical environment is currently pending. Additional work has also just begun on the thermal and non- thermal effects of millimeter and submillimeter-wave radiation on cellular systems. This work is being undertaken in conjunction with the Caltech biology division and a neurophysiologist, Dr. Victor Pikov, at the Huntington Medical Research Institute. Significant expansion of the biological science work at Caltech is planned for 2013/14 through US NIH initiatives. Emphasis is being placed on affecting and monitoring cell processes under high frequency, low power, RF exposure. A major goal is to use millimeter waves to stimulate cell membrane depolarization thereby allowing direct, non-contact control of chemical transport. Initial results have now provided the first definitive measurements of significant change in membrane permeability and action potential firing rates on ex vivo cortical neurons from rat pups and neural ganglia in the medicinal leech. Additional RF-bio work in 2014 will include millimeter wave monitoring and diagnosis for health applicaitons. Work has already begun with animal experiments at 40 GHz and will continue under a Caltech patent in 2014. .
After successful responses to DoD research calls, Dr. Siegel's group at JPL began applying submillimeter wave imaging to security and defense. In this application, novel radar imaging and ranging techniques were applied in the submillimeter wave frequency regime for the very first time. A new class of phenomenology and instrumentation has now emerged that shows great promise for undergarment and threat detection imaging. This application is expected to expand dramatically over the next few years with growing involvement at JPL.
Finally, Dr. Siegel and his research team have been dedicated to the long term development of novel devices and components that can push terahertz instruments into mainstream applications. This includes in-house design and fabrication of THz superconductor and semiconductor devices, new single-photon detectors, carbon nanotube based electron tube sources (high efficiency cathodes) and detectors (CNT Schottky diodes), planar array antennas and monolithic GaAs circuits as well as similar programs involving collaborations with research groups and commercial enterprises around the world.
Microwave-to-THz Applications in Biology and Biomedicine (Caltech and Huntington Medical Research Institutes): This research was funded under several prior NIH and internal grants and involves the use of microwave, millimeter and submillimeter wave technologies for biological and biomedical applications. Specifically Dr. Siegel has been developing and utilizing the RF instrumentation that was pioneered under his former NASA programs for disease diagnosis, measurements of tissue properties, enhancing contrast through common biomedical staining techniques, and most recently to the impact of THz radiation on cellular processes and real time monitoring of metabolic processes in the body. Current research is focused on non-invasive glucose monitoring at millimeter wavelengths.
THz Effects on Cellular Systems (Caltech/HMRI): This program attempts to quantitatively examine THz (and millimeter wave) radiation impact on cells and cellular processes. It blends biological, optical and RF instrumentation in a novel way to examine RF dosimetry effects while directly monitoring cell lines and will establish one of the first IR Raman/optical/RF test instruments for microscopic evaluation of thermal and chemical processes at the cellular level. The work is conducted with collaborator Dr. Victor Pikov, a neurophysiologist at the Huntington Medical Research Institutes. Additional work on non-invasive millimeter wave monitoring of metabolic processes is awaiting final patent filing and will be pursued through NIH funding in 2015.
Dr. Siegel is working in the millimeter wave MMIC lab in 362 Moore where he has epi-fluorescence inverted and upright microscopes, an incubator, and an RF exposure system for studying cell level responses and processes. Dr. Siegel also regularly accesses the Huntington Medical Research Institute animal facilities across from Huntington Hopsital, Pasadena, where he works with Dr. Victor Pikov on the millimeter wave bio applications. He frequently consults with and visits with former colleagues and friends from the JPL Submillimeter-Wave Advanced Technology team, which he founded in 1992, and which is currently managed by Dr. Imran Mehdi.

On April 22, the United States Supreme Court issued an opinion in its
ruling on Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action. The
Court's decision upheld a constitutional amendment that Michigan voters
approved to ban the consideration of race and gender in public
education. The Michigan ballot initiative, known as Proposal 2, was passed in 2006 by 58 percent of voters.
As the deadline to sign up for health insurance coverage through the new federal and state marketplaces neared on March 31, a surge in enrollments carried the number of purchasers over the 6 million mark—inching closer to the Obama Administration's initial target of 7 million.

A February 4 report by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) on the impact of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on the U.S. labor market set off a firestorm on Capitol Hill when it estimated that by 2024 some 2.5 million Americans who would have previously counted on a job for their health insurance will no longer decide to work or will shorten their hours.
January marked the fourth time in three years that Congress faced a potential debt-limit crisis, but this time brinksmanship was avoided. By mid-February, a bipartisan effort extended the well beyond the upcoming November elections—and the Tea Party received a strong rebuke.
The Obama Administration last month announced it would further delay the requirement that certain businesses provide health insurance to their employees, in some cases postponing the obligation until 2016, a full two years after the date originally set by the law.
The Affordable Care Act's (ACA) so-called "employer mandate," which applies to businesses with 50 or more employees, had originally been set to take effect in January, 2014, but was postponed until 2015 following pressure from the business community. In a February 10 announcement, the U.S. Treasury Department said it would again relax the requirements. Businesses with between 50 and 99 employees will now have until 2016 to provide health insurance to their employees.
In addition, businesses with more than 100 employees will now be allowed to comply over a two-year period. Most businesses with more than 100 employees already offer health insurance, the Treasury Department noted. But under the new rules, those that do not already provide health insurance will be required to offer it to just 70% of their employees by 2015 and 95% in 2016 and beyond. While only 2% of employers have more than 100 workers, these companies account for 66% of the private sector work force. The vast majority of businesses in the United States employ fewer than 50 people, and under the ACA they have never been subject to an employer mandate, something the Treasury Department stressed when making its announcement.
"While about 96% of employers are not subject to the employer responsibility provision, for those employers that are, we will continue to make the compliance process simpler and easier to navigate," said Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy Mark J. Mazur.
Republicans on Capitol Hill pilloried the news of the postponement of the employer mandate, accusing the Obama Administration of changing the law unilaterally. Administration officials countered that they have wide latitude to grant what is known as "transition relief" in implementing the law.
The announcement of the delay in the employer mandate has added to the pressure on the Administration to relax the health insurance obligations for individuals as well, or at least postpone the enforcement of a tax penalty for people who forego coverage. Health policy analysts, however, note that the employer and individual mandates have different functions, and that the individual mandate is crucial for the solvency of the ACA. Unless enough healthy individuals sign up, insurance companies will not be able to afford the law's more expensive changes: a ban on denying insurance because of pre-existing conditions and a ban on dropping people from a policy when they get sick.

I think most golfers have a bucket list of a few places they would love to play before it's too late. Although I can't play there, I have always wanted to visit Augusta National and The Masters one April. I think most golfers understand Augusta is a "visit only place." And with incredible luck enjoyed by my friend Don, this is the year. This year his lottery ticket at The Masters came up.
It is the eve of the NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament. I'm not going to call it a sports event. I guess outwardly, it literally is. But it's not at it's core, it's more
In the news it's not often that you hear something that's truly refreshing, easy and fun to listen to. Well today, there was one.
Few things, if any one thing can galvanize a community like a winning professional team. Needless to say there hasn't been near enough of that around here lately. We have been through our share of heartache. And the Cavs, Tribe and the Browns have all contributed.

When Sandra Hightower was told she needed to work on a community service project as part of her internship for the Tarrant County Master Gardeners, she decided she wanted to help her hometown.Hightower, a member of the Mansfield Parks Facilities Development Corporation board, oversees the planning of the city's parks, so she knew she wanted to work on a Mansfield project -- but there wasn't one.So Hightower and other Master Gardener interns from Mansfield started their own project -- cleaning up and maintaining Serenity Gardens at Julian Feild Park -- and they're hoping that it becomes a permanent project for the county horticultural group."This park really has had nobody dedicated to it," Hightower said. "Different departments have been watching over it, but not one department dedicated to it."The city's parks department has taken care of the grass and the flower beds, while the environmental department has tried to watch over the gardens. In 2001, the Serenity Gardens were added to Julian Field Park, the city's oldest park, which was opened in 1960. In 2008, the city's environmental department added six Texas Smartscape demonstration gardens to show how many different plants could be grown in the area."For a couple of years we had been hosting Smartscape classes with the Master Gardeners," said Howard Redfearn, the city's environmental manager. "One class was always about plant selection. We wanted to let people know what plants would look like."The demonstration gardens include beds that range from a rose garden and perennial bed to an evergreen area and desert plants. Once the Master Gardener interns got permission from the city to work on the gardens, they dug in, weeding, pruning and mulching for three to four hours every week since February, and plan to continue until graduation next January. They have also constructed cinderblock compost bins to recycle plant material."One of the problems is they were put on water timers by people who didn't understand Smartscape and they were being overwatered, so they didn't come back as well," Hightower said. "Right now, we have the water off. They haven't been watered in two to three weeks."The principle of the Smartscape program is to use plants that require less water and little to no chemicals."That was the point in doing the gardens in the first place, that you can do without a lot of care," said Steve Chaney, Tarrant County Extension Agent-Horticulture. "And knowing what can grow and be conservative with water use and impact on the environment."The Master Gardener interns, who are required to do 72 hours of community service to become Master Gardeners, are hoping the project becomes a long-term commitment for the group. "I would like to see the city of Mansfield enjoy it and learn about native plants," said intern Elaine Jones. "I hope people come out and enjoy it."

upset by mon lung?
despite the good reviews i've read on other boards, everytime i eat at Mon Lung on Ashland, in Noble Square, i get a stomach ache. anyone have similar experience? can you suggest a better chinese restaurant?
i've heard of Eat First 2, haven't tried it, but seems more to be chinese/american food for eating on the sofa while watching a movie. i am interested in Green Ginger, but not sure about papajin.
certainly wondering about places in the wicker park, bucktown, noble square, logan square, etc. area, along with any other places in the city. i am interested in lao sze chuan, as well. not as interested in cantonese/dim sum style.
Friendship Chinese delivers
2830 N. Milwaukee, Chicago
Tel: (773) 227-0970
Not sure it's relevatory food, and I definitely like the interesting dishes at Lao Sze Chuan more, but for delivery in Bucktown it's better than the alternatives.
Granted I haven't eaten it in a couple of years since I moved from the neighborhood, but I always found Eat First 2 the better(and...remember...this is relative) of all the usual leafletting suspects. Caveat: I don't do any kind of noodle dish from takeout Chinese/American places...apps...soups...entrees...rice...etc...only. I can't speak to their noodles. They actually include a healthy quantity of dry-fried red chiles in their kung pao(always a good sign).
I've never been a fan of Papajin...overpriced, consistently underwhelming food.
Lao Sze Chuan is one of my favorite restaurants, period, in the city. We're talking apples and oranges here, tho. What "szechuan, hunan, yunan" you find on any run-of-the-mill delivery menu is guaranteed to be unrecognizably Cantonese-American-ified.
thanks for the replies. i think i will try friendship, then, for local convenience.
i have continuously heard wavering reviews of papajin, so we'll see if i ever get around to it.
i'm getting more and more excited to try lao sze chuan. i really hope it is as good as others say and without any negative experience. i miss real chinese food like i had living in san francisco and during my travels to china/hong kong.
You said "i miss real chinese food like i had living in san francisco and during my travels to china/hong kong."
Ah, I'm not sure we can compete with the Pacific Northwest or China itself in this arena :)
well, that is still good to know, so that i don't set my expectations too high.
i can certainly say that san francisco and china/hong kong can't compete with chicago in the area of pizza. that's one slice of heaven they'll never be able to match : )
Can't speak to Eat First 2, but over here in River West, we enjoy Eat First (must be 1) regularly for delivery, much better than our other local "Chinese" delivery options.
i ate at eat first 2. i had a dinner portion of fried rice and kung pao chicken. i will say, it is a proportionate value for the money. i asked for the kung pao chicken to be really spicy, and it came out only medium spicy, for my palate. it seemed they just doused it with some chile sauce because it had a strange orange-ish red tint to it. the meat was average - not particularly tender but neither stringy or chewy. the spices and flavorings were very simple and one note. same for the fried rice, very simple. i did see fresh green onion in the rice though, and it was not greasy.
for $6.00 i would probably order again if i were simply hungry and wanted some quick chinese food to eat casually.
I'm not surprised your experience at Eat First 2 was average. Remember, their food is relatively better(in my eyes) to the absolute dreck found elsewhere in the neighborhood(Yu Shing comes immediately to mind). When I used to order from Eat First 2 their english wasn't the best so they could've misinterpreted your "spicy" request. As I recall, their kung pao was never particularly chile-hot in and of itself, but the addition of the dry fried dried red chiles gave it the requisite smokiness and definite heat if you ate them(as I do) along with the chicken, etc.
If you do return(or order from) I recommend the Princess Rib: bone-in pork rib chunks breaded and tossed in a General Tso's-ish sweet sauce.
I'm glad you tried it even if it wasn't exactly to your taste. Since I haven't eaten there in a couple years(I'm no longer in the neighborhood) I remember them somewhat fondly...esp. since my area's Chinese/American scene is even more dire.
re: aelph
thank you for the response. i will remember to never eat at Yu shing. i did see the whole chiles in the kung pao and was happy to see them, instead of some crushed up pieces. i'll probably return as i am sure i'll have an immediate chinese craving that needs to be satiated quickly, and i'll keep your recommendation of the Princess Rib.
Papajin is pretty good for delivery in the neighborhood. Friendship is much better though. Green Ginger is no more, a new bar with food Jun Bar has opened in its place, same owners. Extremely overpriced drinks.

(By the way, I contacted Mr. Ritch's references and business associates. I also did extensive Internet research before paying any fees. Everything seemed correct. I later learned that Mr. Ritch probably paid his "references" for a positive report.)
When I questioned the value of Mr. Ritch's "efforts", he suddenly "found" and "investor". However, he said that I needed a credit card machine lease worth $5,000 to "establish credit". I did not need credit card machines for the business venture and agreed to the lease only on the condition that Mr. Ritch would take over the lease if the investment money did not materialize.
He signed me up for the lease but had "fax trouble" so I never got a copy of the document. He had the credit card readers diverted to himself. He pocketed the lease brokerage fee of about $2,500.
The "investor" turned out to be one of Mr. Ritch's associates who wanted me to pay for travel, lodging and food for his visit of several weeks to my office to show me how to arrange my company to attract investors. I said that this was unnecessary since I already had a broker (i.e. Mr. Ritch) who had done this work. The "investor" then offered the same deal to show me how to set up a data base for my company operations. I pointed out that, as an IT Project Manager, I was fully qualified to design a data base. The "investor" then offered to come, at my expense, to teach *him* data base design. I declined.
With no real investors interested (and probably none ever contacted), I terminated the brokerage arrangement with Mr. Ritch. He wrote that he transferred the credit card machine lease to his name and said he paid for it with money orders. None of this was true. He never paid a dime or processed any paperwork to take over the lease.
I reported the situation to the Federal Trade Commission and the Oregon Department of Justice. It turns out Mr. Ritch stayed just below the threshold of ripoff that triggers an investigation.
So, Mr. Ritch left me stuck responsible for a four-year unbreakable lease for credit card equipment he is evidently using in his business. He refuses to respond to my calls or e-mails.

Robert has been an absolute blessing to deal with! By far, he's one of the most helpful business people we've ever dealt with. Not only did he help us get a higher return on our money, but he also demonstrated a lot of skill in completing deals. He definitely is well informed and truly wants us to succeed. Without question, he's who we trust. Thanks again!

Robert was a hired consultant on a significant global finance and operational transformation initiative. He is a strategic thinker with the unique ability to not just create a strategic vision, but to mobilize and operationalize it as well. He has a deep expertise in the Capital Funding space including finance and operational processes. He was a pleasure to deal with as a consultant - demanding but fair, incredibly hard working and always informative

I have worked with Robert on a number of occasions in the past 3 years, both negotiating with companies in which he had an interest and having him work with me and my colleagues to raise funds for other companies.
Robert is commercially, financially and technically savvy and very quick to spot opportunities and identify and solve problems.
Personally he is straight forward; he does what he says he is going to and provides straight answers. I would have no hesitation in working with him again

I did not refund Carl any money because I did not feel that he deserved it. I had put many hours in setting up his business with a credit report and lines of credit only to find out that he was not legal. Therefore I did not get my commission either but I am not suing Carl for my commission and I could if I choose to.

Andrew McDonald moves to Adelaide Strikers
Monish Moorthy 17 Jul 2012
Royal Challengers Bangalore allrounder Andrew McDonald joined the Adelaide Strikers in the 2012-13 Big Bash League transfer window.
Andrew McDonald captained the Melbourne Renegades in the inaugural season of the BBL where he captained his RCB teammate Dirk Nannes. It is not clear if he will lead the South Australia based Adelaide Strikers, one of the low profile teams in the BBL.
Muttiah Muralitharan too joined the Renegades squad recently, committing to play BBL for them and anticipating a major face off against Shane Warne who plays for the local rivals the Melbourne Stars.
Latest comments
I think McDonald's transfer might boost up Adelaide Strikers.I think Finch or Hodge might lead Melbourne Renegades.
