Decent location
Decent location, but very noisy. Even though the parking is free the spots are not big at all.
Not what I expected
Free parking is boasted, but what they don't mention is that the spaces are stark, and they are intended for tiny cars. Also, good luck getting a taxi from this location! The room was okay. Reasonably clean given the circumstances that the place
is older, but it is certainly nothing special for the price. I made the decision to choose a hotel based upon this site, but if I could do it all over again and I was able to see the hotel in person before deciding, I would definitely keep looking.
Painful parking situation and rude Owner
A family runs the business there. The husband was rude and kept making inappropriate jokes. The wife was "normal".
The Hotel charged too much for a 2 bedroom for my friend and 1 bedroom for me and my wife. The location is odd, because the parking
is real a pain with the "Franklin" street as the one-way street. I need to make couple rounds of circling before I figure out how to get back to hotel.
I hate SF, so the hotel was not something different. It is all about money. Too shame, SF did had good views, but that's it. People there were mean.
Sadly Disappointed
At first appearance the Francisco Bay Inn looks somewhat inviting. I was very disappointed upon checking in though. The lobby was very small and untidy and I did not find the staff very friendly. Outside of the office was a window that looked
into an unkept room that was connected to the office with an unmade bed in total view of anyone going to the elevator. I do not make a habit of looking into windows but you could not miss it. Our room was clean but there was no closet, just a shelf with a bar for our clothes. Morning breakfast consisted of your choice of a banana, croissant, two styles of muffins and two different types of doughnuts, INSTANT COFFEE, tea or hot chocolate. I think it was the instant coffee that I found unbelievable. We were asked to leave a security deposit in case anything was stolen (possibly the paper cups for our coffee or the plastic glasses for water perhaps) I had never experienced that before. We slept good and the bed was comfortable but we will never stay there again or recommend it to our friends.
Location to unique shops and an array of retaurants within walking distance
Frisco Stay
Was a bit of disappointment when we check into the hotel. Recept smell of indian curry aroma not something that u expect from a hotel recept. It is rated as an Inn. Breakfast spread was ok muffins fruits coffee juice, but need to eat in your own
room. However as we extended 1 more nite without prior booking, eas a shock to be told later that the rate was 35% more. Was not very happy about the way they informed of the room charges for the extemnsion, ended up paying 99 per nite instead of the 64 for my previous nite cost. Lift was small and cram only 1 servicing.
to walk to lombard bendy street, the distance is near but it is an uphill walk,so be prepared.
Good price, but...
People banging on doors at 3:00 am.
Unexpected security deposit required upon arrival.
Good, price bad....very noise stree noi
We were impressed with the nice young woman who waited on us.
Good Location but...
We booked this hotel because of its free parking, location in San Fran and that it was a lower price hotel in that area. We did get the free parking- there are spaces out front that get filled fast and some in the back. If those are filled, you
have to double park and give your spare key to management so they can move your vehicle if needed. The location is great. We walked about 30 minutes to Fisherman's Wharf (You can avoid the big hills if you walk East on Van Ness and then South on North Shore). Also, the crooked part of Lombard Street is just 3 blocks away (up a giant hill, so be prepared if you walk). We had a room on the third floor on the Lombard Street side. It was clean enough with a good TV, microwave, and fridge (and blow dryer and iron) but the satisfaction really ends there. The decor is outdated, the soap made my skin feel weird, the breakfast was only pastries, donuts, and coffee/Lipton tea (and some very questionable fruit), the mattress was springy, and the check-in process was waaaaay too long. We had to wait nearly a half hour with lots of questions, a surprise $25 deposit (to be refunded 3-5 days later), and he copied our license and credit card "for accounting purposes that will be shredded after your stay". And the wifi was questionable. I only could get it half the time. And worst of all is that Lombard Street is super busy and loud. We had to turn on the fan on the AC to drown out the noise. As for the staff, they were friendly and helped point out some highlights for touring. Basically, for a place to shower and put your head, it's not a bad place. But if you are a light sleeper, are weird about hotels, or want to spend some time at the hotel, book a more known hotel chain. We also want to mention that the guy in front of us (without a reservation from here) got a lower price than we did by booking online. His price per night was about $30 cheaper! Finally, you are just a short drive or city transportation ride from Golden Gate Bridge (drive through the Presidio) and Golden Gate Park (which had free parking in early June), both must sees for tourists. Oh, and bring a jacket with a hood because the coast brings in some cold wind especially on the bridge.
On Fisherman's Wharf (a 30 minute walk from this hotel), there is a series of fisherman stalls with fresh seafood and small restaurants behind. We ate at Nick's Lighthouse on Taylor St and it was so delicious! The seafood is deliciously fresh, well-prepared, and decently priced for the quality. We got a dish with fresh fish, mussels, crab, shrimp, scallops and calamari and my mouth watered. :) For wheelchair-bound customers: The restaurant is cramped so I doubt a wheelchair could get in there.
New Years
The room was small for four people. The bed was uncomfortable and the room was not real clean. The staff was very helpful.
Would recommend
Clean / Friendly Staff
Room was very clean, hotel staff very friendly compared to others on the strip.

China's Leadership Opportunity in Afghanistan
By Raffaello Pantucci
First published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and The Diplomat on April 2, 2013
The 2014 deadline for the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan is fast approaching. China has just over a year before Afghanistan fades from the West's radar and Western attention toward the country shrinks substantially. However, it is not clear that Beijing has properly considered what it is going to do once NATO forces leave and pass the responsibility for Afghan stability and security to local forces.
And more crucially, it is not clear that China has thought about what it can do with the significant economic leverage it wields in the region. Afghanistan offers China the opportunity to show the world it is a responsible global leader that is not wholly reliant on others to assure its regional interests.
Traditionally, Chinese thinkers have considered Afghanistan the "graveyard of empires." They chuckle at the ill-advised American-led NATO effort and point to British and Soviet experiences fighting wars in Afghanistan. Continue reading

For transmitting information via laser beams to and from other similar laser communication transceivers. Each transceiver comprises a wavelength locked beacon laser providing a beacon beam. The transceivers determine the precise location of other transceivers by detecting these beacon beams with beacon receive units comprising atomic line filters matched to the beacon wavelength. Signals are transmitted by imposing an electronic signal on laser beams produced by one or more signal laser devices. These signals are directed with precision at other transceivers, and the signal beams are detected with very narrow field of view signal receive units. In a preferred embodiment, these transceivers are installed on 66 satellites in low earth orbit and on selected mountain tops on earth to provide a global communication system.
1.

8. A transceiver as in claim 1 wherein said signal detection means comprises a photodiode, a preamplifier, a frequency to voltage converter and a data converter so that said communication signal can be detected as sound or digital data suitable for input to a personal computer.
This invention relates to communication systems and in particular to laser communication transceivers. This application is a continuation-in-part application of Ser. No. 07/935,899, entitled "Voigt Filter" filed Aug. 27, 1992 and of Ser. No. 08/199,115 entitled Laser Communication Transceiver and System filed Feb. 22, 1994.
Free space laser communication originated in the mid-1960's shortly after the generation of light by the first lasers. The first successful laser communication up-link to space was achieved during a series of experiments conducted by NASA in the late 1960's using a ground based argon laser transmitting to a photomultiplier optical receiver feeding data to an rf down link. Information was sent by Morse code at about one-half bit per second. A limiting factor on free space laser communication is the presence of background light, mostly reflected sunlight. Efforts have been made to develop very narrow-band filters matched to the operating wavelengths of available light weight dependable lasers. Some of these efforts are disclosed in "Selected Papers on Free-Space Laser Communication", SPIE Milestone Series, Vol. MS30.
What is needed is a laser handheld communication transceiver device which could be used to transmit information point to point over distances ranging from a few feet to several kilometers.
The present invention provides a laser communication transceiver for transmitting and receiving information imposed on laser beams. A communication signal is imposed on a very narrowband laser beam produced by a diode laser which is wavelength locked with an atomic line filter. The beam is directed by an operator, sighting through a viewing device, at a similar distant transceiver. The distant transceiver detects the communication signal by filtering the beam through an atomic line filter matched to the very narrow wavelength of the signal beam. The filters block essentially all out of band background light so that midday communication over many kilometers is feasible.
In a preferred embodiment, the transceivers are handheld and each comprises a microphone and earphones allowing operators to talk with each other. Information can also be transmitted from personal computers at the location of each operator. This transceiver weighs less than 1.3 pounds, uses less than 12 Watts of electrical power and can transmit in excess of 1 million bits per second at distances of up to 25 km through the atmosphere. At these data rates voice, and data transmission are all feasible. These transceivers can be used for communication; ground to ground, ground to air, air to air, ship to ship and ship to air. A preferred embodiment provides for secure transmission.

Preferred embodiment of the present invention can be described by reference to the figures.
The general layout of one preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in block diagram in FIG. 1 and in use in FIG. 2. The principal components are identified in these figures. These components are a CCD camera 2, a Voigt filter wavelength locked laser transmitter 4, a Faraday filter receiver 6 and an electronic viewfinder 26. Also shown as accessory components are a microphone 22 and an earphone/speaker 20.
The elements of transmitter 4 are described in FIG. 5, 3 and 4. A laser beam is provided by 150 mWatt diode laser 40 supplied by SDL. This laser with appropriate shaping optics produces a beamwidth divergence of 2 mrad and operates nominally at 852 nm wavelength. In this preferred embodiment, we lock the laser at one of the precise wavelengths at or very near 852.11 nm, which corresponds to the 6s1/2 6p3/2 transition in cesium. To do this, the laser system is configured into a wavelength controlled unit as shown in FIG. 3. This control is achieved using temperature control and current control of the laser and a Voigt filter 44. The control of the laser is provided by heating and cooling element 41 and temperature controller 66. The output of diode element 40 passes through lens assembly 42 and through Voigt filter 44. Voigt filter 44 is similar to a Faraday atomic line filter except the magnetic field is at right angle to the beam direction. (The Voigt filter is described in more detail in a following section of this specification.) A magnetic field produced by permanent magnets 46 at right angle to the laser beam operates on an atomic vapor (in this case cesium at about 100� C.) in order to provide four extremely narrow pass bands near 852 nm as shown in FIG. 8B. Crossed polarizers 48 and 50 stop essentially all light which does not have its polarization rotated within the filter. The polarization of light near the atomic resonance is rotated 90� within the filter. Feedback mirror 56 passes 80 percent of the light incident on it and reflects 20 percent. The 20 percent of the light is reflected back into diode laser 40 forcing it to lock at the selected wavelength. The light beam passing through feedback mirror 56 passes through additional optics to convert the beam to a circular polarization. These optics consists of a 1/2 wave plate 58 to rotate the polarization to match an anamorphic prism pair 60 which circularizes the beam. The resulting output of each beacon is a 100 mW circularly polarized laser beam with a wavelength of 852.11 nm and a divergence of about 2 mrad. (This divergence results in a footprint with a 10 m diameter at a distance of 5 km.). A feedback circuit 63 is provided to control the diode current and maintain the output at the selected precise wavelength.
The laser diodes we use are provided by SDL, Model No. SDL 5421-G1. The temperature of the diode is regulated by two Melcor FC 0.6-65-06-1 thermoelectric heat pumps. The heat pumps are driven by a Hytek Microsystems HY-5610 thermoelectric cooler controller. The temperature of the laser diode is maintained to within �0.05� C. of the required temperature for optimum wavelength stability. The laser diode is driven by a low noise, voltage controlled current source. The current source used to drive the laser diode is one from Industrial Laser Inc., Model LD 1250CC. The laser diode output is collimated with a Rodenstock 1403.108 lens and passes through the Voigt filter. The temperature of the cesium vapor cell is controlled by a Dawn Electronics model DN505 subminiature proportionally controlled heater epoxied to the vapor cell body. The temperature is maintained at 102.5� to achieve the proper transmission spectrum. The transverse magnetic field of 610 gauss is supplied by two magnets (Dexter Permag #ND35570048) located on either side of the vapor cell. The field is oriented 45� to the polarization of laser light and 90� to the beam direction. Corning 900-HC crossed polarizers stop all light which does not have its polarization rotated 90� within the filter. A CVI PRI-850-20-0537 partially reflective mirror is used to pass 80% of the light incident on it and reflect 20%. A CVI QWPO-850.0-05-2 half wave plate is used to rotate the polarization by 90� so that the polarization is perpendicular to the long axis of the laser light. This is necessary because a Melles Griot 06-GPA-004 anamorphic prism pair is used to circularize the elliptical laser light. The input of the anamorphic prism pair is at Brewsters angle and there would be a 50% loss in light if the polarization were not corrected. A small portion of the laser light is reflected off the input surface of the anamorphic prism pair. An Advanced Photonix SD-1004121231 amplified photodiode 62 is used to detect this reflected light. The signal is used for closed loop control of the laser transmitter output and wavelength.
The microcontroller 68 is used to monitor and control all functions of the laser transmitter. Upon power-up it insures that no modules are enabled, the shutter is closed and all supply voltages are present. After a period of two seconds it will accept a laser enable command. When the enable command is received the locking and receive oven heaters and the thermoelectric heat pump will be enabled. When the microcontroller senses the locking oven has reached 80� C. the laser diode current drive module will be enabled. This will allow the electronics to be stabilized when the locking filter has reached its operating temperature of 102.5� C. When the oven reaches 95� C. the microcontroller will ramp the laser diode drive current up and down by driving a sixteen bit up/down counter. The counters output is connected to a digital to analog converter whose output drives the input of the voltage controlled current source. The current source 64 is an Industrial Laser Inc. model LDC-1250 current driver. Output monitor photodiode is digitized and sent to the microcontroller 68. The microcontroller will drive the laser diode current up or down searching for the peak output as sensed by the output monitor photodiode. Once the maximum output is detected the microcontroller will then control the output drive current to maintain maximum light output from the laser assembly. The output of the laser is sampled every ten microseconds and compared with the previously sampled output and the current is changed to maintain a constant output if there is a difference of �5 percent or more. If the current controller does not detect any light output from the laser it will then change the temperature of the laser diode in one half degree increments above and below the predetermined set point of the laser till light is detected from the laser. At that point the peak power output algorithm is initiated. In between the laser output signal conversions the laser temperature and oven temperature are digitized and stored. This is done to note any fault conditions and so that the previous operating conditions will be stored and used the next time the transceiver is used. This will decrease warm up time by using previously known operating conditions. The laser current is also digitized and stored for the same reason.
Voltage Frequency Converter
FIG. 9 is a schematic of voltage to frequency converter. This circuit provides a digital pulse train output whose repetition rate is directly proportional to the analog input voltage. The analog microphone input is converted to a five volt digital output. The output frequency will vary around the center frequency of 50 kilohertz as to the analog modulation applied. With a voltage to current scaling factor of 40 millivolts per milliampere, the five volt digital is scaled to 200 millivolts (5 mA). This 200 millivolt (5 mA) digital signal is then summed with the steady state laser diode drive current. The result is that for each signal pulse the wavelength of the laser beam is shifted off the transmission peak so that there is no transmission. The net result is the transmission of a digitally modulated laser beam as shown at 27 in FIG. 2.
Data Interface
The input from a terminal or host computer can also be transmitted by the laser. This involves converting the data format to a TTL (0 to 5 volt level) and then shifting it to the 200 millivolt level required to shift the laser wavelength. In this instance it was decided to use the RS-232 format for data transfer, though any number of data formats could have been selected. A Maxim #MAX-233 RS-232 to TTL converter integrated circuit board was used in this device because it requires few support components.
The principal element of the receiver unit of embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are shown in block and cross section form in FIG. 5. Signal beam 1 enters Faraday filter unit 6 through polarizer 70 which polarizes the light in a horizontal direction. An axial magnetic field created by magnet 80 operating on cesium vapor heated to about 102� C. by heater 76 in vapor cell 74 causes a rotation of only that portion of the light spectrum at wavelengths near sharp Cs absorption lines near 852 nm. That light which was so rotated passes through vertical polarizer 72 and is reflected off mirror 78 onto an Advanced Photonix APM-20 avalanche photodiode 83. Other light is blocked by vertical polarizer 72 and 852 nm narrowband filter (Andover #850FS40-12.5) 82. The detected signal is amplified, shaped then converted to a TTL level by pulse shaper 84. At this point depending whether this was a voice or data transmission the received signal will be processed by a frequency to voltage converter 86 for an audio presentation through speaker 90 or to an RS-232 converter 88 for input to a personal computer 92. If the signal was a data transmission then it would be converted to a RS-232 level by a Maxim MAX-233 integrated circuit. If the signal is audio, we use a Burr-Brown VFC-62 integrated circuit.
The advantage of the in line locked laser and the side locked laser transmitters is that only a very small modulation current is required to modulate the lasers. With the in line locked laser as the wavelength is shifted out of the passband of the locking filter there will be no signal output. If the signal is intercepted the digital modulation would easily be detected.
The side locked laser has the added feature of a continuous output signal with no apparent form of modulation. The theory of operation is as follows. The laser current drive source, laser temperature control, and oven temperature heating and control are identical to the type used in the in-line transmitter described previously. The laser light emitted from the laser diode assembly 40 is collimated and passes through a nonpolarizing beamsplitter 45. Fifty-five percent of the light is transmitted and circularized by an anamorphic prism pair. The remaining 45% of laser light is turned 90� and directed through a Voigt filter. The light that is in the passband of the Voigt filter 44 is passed through the filter and onto a mirror 57 which reflects about 90% of the light. The mirror is aligned such that the light is reflected back through the locking filter onto the beamsplitter and back onto the laser diode. The light then forces the laser to lase at the transmission peak of the Voigt filter. A small portion of the light that is incident upon the feedback mirror is not reflected but passes through the mirror. This light is detected by a photodiode and used to control the output power and wavelength of the laser in the same manner as that of the in-line filter. Because the locking filter is not in line with the transmitter laser light, and the light is shifted out of the passband of the Voigt filter is not blocked by the filter providing a continuous output.
Faraday and Voigt Filters
Operational principles of our Faraday filter can be understood by reference to FIGS. 7A-C. Crossed polarizers 90 and 91 serve to block out background light with a rejection ratio better than 10-5. We use high transmission polarizers which have a transmission of higher than 95%. Because these polarizers only work over a limited wavelength region in the infrared, a broad band interference filter is used in conjunction with the Faraday filter. Between the polarizers an atomic vapor (in this case cesium having a strong resonance near the wavelength of the beacon beam) in a magnetic field axially aligned with the path of the beam rotates the polarization of the beacon laser signal by 90�, while leaving other wavelengths unrotated, and thus blocked by the polarizers. The path of the transmitted light is unaffected, so spatial information is maintained.
Polarization rotation is due to the separation in optical absorption frequencies for right and left circularly polarized light in the magnetic field due to the Zeeman effect. The index of refraction of the vapor near an absorption is different from 1, and the absorption separation causes the index to be different for right and left circular polarization at a given frequency, and thus those polarizations travel through the vapor with a different phase velocity. The effect of this is to cause a frequency dependent rotation in the polarization of the incoming linearly polarized light which only occurs near the atomic absorption peak. Transmission through the filter is maximum where the polarization rotation is 90�, 270�, etc., provided that the frequency of the beam is far enough away from the atomic resonance not to be absorbed. The Voigt filter is similar to the Faraday filter. In the Voigt filter, magnetic field is arranged so that the field lines are perpendicular to the beam direction. The vapor acts like a half wave plate rather than a Faraday rotation to achieve 90� polarization rotation. Transmission spectra in the range of 852 nm for cesium for the Faraday filter is shown in FIG. 8A and that for the Voigt filter is shown in FIG. 8B. (This spectrum is saturated with the laser power used in the locked beacon.) Note that the transmission peaks are much sharper in the Voigt filter as compared to the Faraday filter. We use this to our advantage when we pick the Voigt filter to lock our beacon transmitter laser and when we pick the Faraday filter for use in our receiver unit. This allows us to accommodate for Doppler shifts due to relative velocities of the satellites. In our preferred embodiment we can operate one of our beacon lasers at the lower frequency designated as 98 in FIG. 8B and the other one at the higher frequency 99. This allows us to accommodate both approaching and receding satellites. If we know the receiving satellite is approaching we can set both beacons at the lower peak 98. The transmission spectrum for cesium vapor absent a magnetic field is shown in FIG. 8C. The path length through the cesium vapor is 1 cm in both cases. The Faraday filter is operated at a temperature of 121� C. and in a magnetic field of 50 gauss as shown on the figure. The Voigt filter is operated at 95� C. and 600 G.
While the above description contains many specifics, the reader should not construe these as limitations on the scope of the invention, but merely as exemplifications of preferred embodiments thereof. Those skilled in the art will envision many other possible variations are within its scope. For example, persons skilled in the art will be able to make changes appropriate for communicating over shorter or longer distances than those referred to in the examples. Based on the application of the transceiver appropriate telescope or other lens equipment can be added to the transmitter unit, the receiver unit added to the transmitter unit, the receiver unit and the video unit as shown at 7. Accordingly the reader is requested to determine the scope of the invention by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, and not by the examples which have been given.

A riveting portrait of life after abuse from an award-winning novelist.
Sixteen-Year-Old Jace Witherspoon arrives at the doorstep of his estranged brother Christian with a re-landscaped face (courtesy of his father's fist), $3.84, and a secret.
He tries to move on, going for new friends, a new school, and a new job, but all his changes can't make him forget what he left behind—his mother, who is still trapped with his dad, and his ex-girlfriend, who is keeping his secret.
At least so far.
Worst of all, Jace realizes that if he really wants to move forward, he may first have to do what scares him most: He may have to go back. Award-winning novelist Swati Avasthi has created a riveting and remarkably nuanced portrait of what happens after. After you've said enough, after you've run, after you've made the split—how do you begin to live again? Readers won't be able to put this intense page-turner down.

Although copepods are known to support diverse and productive bacterial communities, little is understood about whether copepods are affected by bacterial attachment and whether they can regulate these associations through mechanisms such as the innate immune response. This thesis investigates the potential role that copepod physiology may play in regulating Vibrio association and the community structure of its microbiome. To this end, the intrinsic ability of oceanic copepod hosts to transcriptionally respond to mild stressors was first investigated. Specifically, the transcriptional regulation of several heat shock proteins (Hsps), a highly conserved superfamily of molecular chaperones, in the copepod Calanusfinmarchicus was examined and demonstrated that Hsps are a conserved element of the copepod's transcriptional response to stressful conditions and diapause regulation. To then investigate whether copepod hosts respond to and regulate their microbiota, the transcriptomic response of an estuarine copepod Eurytemora affinis to two distinct Vibric species, a free-living strain (V. ordalii 12B09) and a zooplankton specialist (V. sp. F10 9ZB36), was examined with RNA-Seq. Our findings provide evidence that the copepod E. affinis does distinctly recognize and respond to colonizing vibrios via transcriptional regulation of innate immune response elements and transcripts involved in maintaining cuticle integrity. Our work also suggests that association with E. affinis can significantly impact the physiology of Vibrio colonists. Finally, the inter-individual variability of the C.finmarchicus microbiome was examined to identify how specifically and predictably bacterial communities assemble on copepods and whether host physiology influences the bacterial community structure. Our findings suggest that copepods have a predictable "core microbiome" that persists throughout the host's entrance into diapause, a dormancy period characterized by dramatic physiological changes in the host. However, diapausing and active populations harbor distinct flexible microbiomes which may be driven by factors such including the copepod's feeding history, body size, and bacterial interactions. This thesis work highlights the role of copepods as dynamic reservoirs of diverse bacterial communities and implicates copepod host physiology as an important contributor to the activity, abundance, and community structure of its microbiome.

The ubiquitin-related modifier UrmI is a conserved UBL that, in addition to serving as a protein modifier, functions as a sulfur carrier in tRNA thiolation reactions. Urml is required for formation of the s2 moiety that is found as part of the more complex mcm5 s2 U34 modification on the anticodon wobble uridines of tGliUUC, of tGgluUUG and tLysUUU tRNAs in a variety of organisms. It has become increasingly clear that tRNA modifications serve to alter the properties of tRNA molecules, and that tRNA modifications can impact the translational regulation of gene expression, but how specific modifications are connected to cellular processes remains largely unknown. This work focuses on Urml-dependent tRNA modifications in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This thesis describes the phenotypes of URM] pathway mutants, and describes the physiological consequences in cells that lack the ability to thiolate tRNAs: slow growth, impaired translation and the increased activation of at least one stress response pathway. This thesis also describes a condition, growth at 37°C, that results in a decrease in tRNA thiolation in wild type cells. This decrease in tRNA thiolation requires the activity of RNA polymerase III and is accompanied by decreased levels of proteins that are involved in the tRNA thiolation pathway. This decrease in tRNA thiolation may be an adaptive strategy used by cells under specific growth conditions, and is an example of the condition specific modulation of tRNA modification levels Thesis: Ph.

These ecosystems face increasing threats from human activities. Having thorough taxonomic inventories as well as understanding species' relatedness, genetic diversity, connectivity patterns, and adaptive potential is fundamental for the implementation of conservation strategies that help mitigate these threats. This thesis provides fundamental high-priority knowledge in taxonomic, evolutionary, and ecological aspects of deep-sea coral and vent species, by harnessing the power of genomic tools and overcoming long-standing methodological barriers. First, I develop bioinformatic tools that help guide the design of studies aiming to characterize eukaryotic genome diversity using restriction-site associated DNA sequencing. Using these tools I find that the predictability of restriction site frequencies in eukaryotic genomes is chiefly determined by the phylogenetic position of the target species and the recognition sequence of the selected restriction enzyme. These tools are then applied to test global-scale historical biogeographic hypotheses of vent fauna using barnacles as model. Phylogeographic inferences suggest that the western Pacific was the place of origin of the major vent barnacle lineage, followed by circumglobal colonization eastward along the southern hemisphere during the Neogene. I suggest that the geological processes and dispersal mechanisms discussed here can explain distribution patterns of many other marine taxa in addition to barnacles. Regional-scale analyses indicate that vent barnacle populations are well connected within basins and ridge systems, and that their diversity patterns do not conform to the predictions from the hypothesis that seamounts are centers of endemism. I then move on to resolve long-standing questions regarding species definitions in recalcitrant deep-sea coral taxa, by unambiguously resolving evolutionary relationships and objectively inferring species boundaries. Finally, I explore the adaptive potential of deep-sea coral species to environmental changes by examining a case of adaptation to shallow water from the deep sea. Candidate positive-selection markers shared between pairs of shallow and deep populations are identified as likely makers for genomic regions involved in adaptation. Overall, the results from this thesis constitute critical baseline data with which to assess potential effects of anthropogenic disturbances on deep-sea ecosystems. Thesis: Ph.

D Islet transplantation has significant potential for the treatment of type I diabetes, but an immunoprotective barrier is necessary to protect the donor tissue from host rejection and to eliminate the need for systemic immunosuppressive therapy. Cell encapsulation is an attractive technology to enable donor cell transplantation, but clinical success has remained elusive due to immunological responses to the encapsulated materials. Alginate is the leading material for the microencapsulation of islet cells, successfully creating a barrier between the host immune system and implanted islet cells. However, inflammatory monocytes and macrophages initiate a cascade of immunological responses to the implanted materials, leading to a chronic inflammation that results in fibrosis of the implants and hypoxic death of the islet cells. These macrophages may sense alginate via pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), such as toll-like receptors (TLRs) and NOD-like receptors (NLRs). However, which PRRs are involved, how they recognize alginate, and whether alginate material characteristics and compositions can elicit different responses are not very well understood. To better understand the PRR mediated immune response to alginate, we devised an in vitro system to study the activation of PRRs against several commercially available alginates. Here, we report that alginate compositions and material characteristics can influence which PRRs activate and how strongly they can provoke PRR mediated immune response, and that direct cell-to-material contact is a crucial step in initiating such response.

Then there is still other prospects like Wennberg, Domi, Horvat, Zykov, Mantha, Morrissey, Gauthier, Lazar who have a lot of potential, but I'd be more comfortable with someone from the first group unless it was another pick or a move up if we get the Boston first rounder.
As long as the Stars don't reach and take a player off the board I'll be pretty stoked with this draft. Not to mention the Stars have 10 picks overall to make this year.
If the Canucks lose tonight do we get the 15th pick in the second round (Roy trade) or is it still a late second because they won their division? I'm not really sure how the order works for playoff teams eliminated.
I think as division winners they have the latest pick of the teams eliminated at the same stage of the playoffs. So if no other division winners lose this round they pick 22nd maybe?

Better late than never. My story will begin with a valued, beautiful large V-shaped burgundy coloured, fur-like shawl I left behind in Hotel de la Paix on a Christmas Eve evening after dining in their charming Italian restaurant (red/white tablecloth, high-back wooden chairs, wrought-iron balustrades(?) and even curtains on pretty windows!) where the Maitre D and his young team (a young lady + young man) despite being super busy, took care of us our dining needs like it was their own personal restaurant.
On this trip, the tour did put us up in nice, beautiful hotels in some Swiss towns/cities and even in UK where I moved on to.
But I remember Hotel de la Paix for how luxurious it felt the moment I stepped in - from the carpeting, sofas & upholstery, shiny varnished side tables (even a revolving door with 2 large plants on either side to make it stand out even more) and the elderly uniformed man who served us our welcome drinks. This Hotel de la Paix in Lugano simply lives up to its glorious name!! That evening unfortunately, when we checked in, the reception staff had to deal with so many in our group who were "demanding" for phone chargers. But they coped very well.
So few days after Lugano, I realised my shawl had been left behind. Over and over again, I was discouraged from getting it back: "It would have been gone by now", "Don't expect to get it back", "Don't expect anyone to be honest enough to keep it for you". Even upon returning home, I simply put away the hope of ever seeing my shawl again. But it was a special shawl, often it came back that I should have tried to get it back.
3 months long after that visit, I sent out an email - just to check if they still have it - I was ready for a negative reply, but I will just try. . First I heard from Lorena, then Alessandro, then Sonia - they were all following up on my enquiry. With such eagerness to help in the tone of their responses, I sent them a picture of the shawl, and afer a few days, they got back to me and "Yes, we'ge got it". And I thought OMG what honesty of the staff of Hotel de la Paix to keep it for so long for me to make the claim. What a fantastic impression of a hotel I have such a nice memory of.
The shawl I so valued is with me now. My special thanks to the restaurant staff who kept it for me
I want to stay in Hotel de la Paix.

Keith Lohman is contemplating a workshop for complaints the second week in July. Although many of the issues raised were not J-ONE issues, we will attend the workshop (lead the workshop?). 2. We met with the Concord PD, including the Chief, to discuss their participation in the pilot. They reiterated their willingness to participate and their willingness to acquire a new RMS system. Their current RMS system includes payroll. This could complicate acquisition of a new system. There is a risk in using a new implementation for the pilot. A new implementation requires at least data conversion and may also require customization. Having a 03479b06-3866-42d8-8fd1-78b40b57ec58.doc 1 new system in place by November, in time for pre-pilot testing, will require an aggressive schedule. Carol provided the Concord PD with a list of RMS vendors with the most implementations in the State. They have begun contact with the vendors. It is recommended that VisionAir be considered for addition to the vendor list. Documentation on VisionAir will be provided prior to the 28th. 3. Peter and Vijay attended a discussion on application server standardization in the State. Vijay's notes from the meeting are attached. 4. A technical overview/walkthrough was held for Reg, Ajay and John on the technology and architecture of the PoC. A summary of this overview is attached. 5. The PoC that was demonstrated to the Chiefs' Conference was on laptops. A "clean" copy of the PoC was implemented in the lab during the week of June 17. 6. All available documentation and source code for the PoC is/will be on the lab devices. The directory structure of the PoC will be provided prior to June 28, 2002. 7. A write-up on the bookmark facility will be provided to the State Police for communications to UNH. 8. A review of the TogetherSoft development suite was held for the technical staff on Thursday. II. PLANNED ACTIVITIES FOLLOWING THIS MEETING This meeting is the final status meeting for the Proof of Concept. There are only two activity following this meeting: 1. Stakeholder "hands-on" review of the PoC June 24-28, 2002. 2. Completion of documentation. 3. Convene the Security Committee III. ISSUES The following issues are noted as of this report. 1. BEA WLI not is being used for the PoC. Need to determine the cost/benefit of the BEA WLI product. A recommendation will be received from Vijay and Shashi by June 28th. 2. A meeting of the NH Chiefs of Police is occurring June 9-12. See summary, above. Resolved. 3. Need to pick a first pilot. Resolved. Concord PD State Police Troop D 03479b06-3866-42d8-8fd1-78b40b57ec58.doc 2 4. Need to select additional departments to be added after the pilot is operational. Postponed until September-October, 2002. Selection needs to be coordinated with the courts. Because the State Police are working on a cruiser based, stand-alone complaint entry facility, they should continue to be a consideration even if another PD is chosen for the pilot. 5. Peter's issues. Contact with the legislature. Law enforcement representative to the J-ONE stakeholder team. Convene the Security Committee. IV. STATUS OF DELIVERABLES 1. Implementation of the base PoC software components was completed on April 26, 2002. 2. PoC walkthrough #1 to be held no later than May 17, 2002. Completed May 10, 2002. 3. PoC walkthrough #2 to be held no later than June 3, 2002. Completed June 12, 2002. 4. Integration Testing. Completed June 21, 2002 5. Stakeholder Demonstrations. To be completed June 24-28, 2002. 03479b06-3866-42d8-8fd1-78b40b57ec58.doc 3 Attachments J-ONE Proof of Concept June 21, 2002 I. PoC walkthrough with NH staff I conducted a POC walkthrough with Reg and John on Wednesday June 12, 2002. The goal of the walkthrough was to: 1. Bring the project team up to speed. 2. Do some knowledge transfer by having both of them involved in the installation and configuration aspects of the application deployment. 3. Conducted a brief session explaining the multi-tier application architecture and how most of the internet based applications fit into this domain. 4. Walked both of them through the installation process for WebLogic Application server. 5. Explained the web server aspect and the application server aspect of WebLogic Server to demonstrate how the server could also be used to potentially host static HTML pages. 6. Conducted a detailed walkthrough of the WebLogic Console explaining how the application and the supporting services can be configured, tweaked and managed while the server is up. 7. Discussed training needs for the team to come up to speed with JAVA technology and how they could actively participate and contribute to the project. 8. Reviewed training sites available on the internet where they can download extensive tutorials and get started with the technology before going to a formal training session. 9. Downloaded the Thinking in JAVA book - a very comprehensive book by Bruce Eckel, for learning and understanding JAVA language, available for free download from the internet. Reg is planning on printing a couple of copies of the book for the project team. 10. Next steps were discussed: a. Both of them will be involved in the deployment process and will help in the setup of the POC in the development lab. b. They will be involved in the installation of the spoke software and its communication with the hub. c. Both of them will take JAVA training courses and will be ready for extensive participation by the end of August 2002. The status will be updated as soon as we complete the next steps. II. Discussion with NH standards group 03479b06-3866-42d8-8fd1-78b40b57ec58.doc 4 I attended a meeting (along with Peter and Dennis) with the DITM Standards body that is responsible for establishing standards for all technology solutions for the State of New Hampshire. Another state agency has also selected BEA and is in a fairly advanced stage for deployment. This was more of an informal chat about what the agencies were doing and how they were approaching their projects than a formal meeting. The key discussion revolved around: 1. Project description - Both agencies explained their respective projects. 2. Platform description - What is an application server and how does it fit into the development environment. 3. The need for a platform - We explained the need for a J2EE deployment platform. 4. Justification for the choice of platform by both the agencies – other options considered - We explained the efforts that were put into evaluating Oracle Application Server and IBM Websphere and the reasons for selecting BEA. We also explained that the margin of difference between BEA and IBM was fairly narrow, but BEA was selected as the IBM product was known to be always one generation behind in compliance with the JAVA standard. 5. Interfaces with other applications - We explained the application server platform was fairly robust and capable for interfacing with most of the commonly deployed legacy applications. However, interfaces could be easily developed using the standard JAVA and XML technologies. 6. Operating System - A brief discussion took place about the operating system of choice. The other agency mentioned that it already had Solaris flavor of UNIX in house and was intending on continuing that route (purchase a few more). We left the discussion open as our choices were still open. III. PoC lab finalization The goal is to have the entire lab operational by COB Wednesday. 1. Shashi is making some minor changes to the EJB code base. 2. I am working on the documentation of the POC. 3. We have installed Oracle database and BEA WLS on the HP server. On Tuesday, we intend to configure the application server and make it communicate with the Oracle database and the MySQL spoke software. 4. Once the base software is established, we intend to deploy the application and test it. This should be completed by COB Tuesday. 5. After the application has been stabilized, all source code will be checked into MS Source safe on the HP Server. I will be coordinating with Norm to set up a tape back-up of the HP Server to ensure that all the source code is backed up. 6. On Wednesday/Thursday, we can plan on incorporating the complaint software that Gary has on the Spoke side and test the changes. This project was supported by Grant No. 2000-DB-MU-0033 and Grant No. 2001-DB-BX-0033 awarded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice.

Let's Blame OWS for a Few Bad Apples
When I criticize the Occupy movement, liberals and so-called independents fire back with claims that the movement, in the main, is peaceful and constructive; and that the violence is the result of infiltrators and "a few bad apples."
Personally, I believe that this is nonsense. From my experience (as a public school teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area– Oakland and Richmond to be precise) the protesters are nothing short of Marxist revolutionaries.
Now I'm not talking about passers-by, observers, and folks who go to work but sympathize with the protests. Surely President Obama, who has expressed support for the movement, isn't an all-out violent communist.
Instead I'm referring to the die-hard campers who are braving the elements and spending days at a time on the bullhorns and in the drum circles. They are extreme. They don't mind a little violence and destruction, if it comes at the expense of capitalists and bourgeois types.
But let's suppose that the violence in Oakland, and the more unsavory behaviors in other cities, are the work of outside agitators. Isn't it perfectly fair to hold a movement accountable for the people it attracts?
If Neo Nazis routinely showed up for Tea Party rallies in support of conservative aims, the Tea Party organizers would rightly be criticized. In fact, the Right is consistently attacked as racist because, as liberals put it, conservative policies find favor in some racist circles.
If violence continues to erupt in the name of Occupy Wall Street, or Occupy Oakland, or Occupy anywhere else, then the public ought to demand accountability from the Occupy movement.

Rice is a favorite food in our house and is a meal-time staple. We easily go through two to three boxes of rice a week.
We use it for several meals including porcupine balls, chicken and beef stir-frys,in several casseroles and as a side dish. If I purchase the rice I need on a weekly basis,I could easily spend $3 a box. Twenty-five boxes of rice will last me approximately three months and would cost me almost $75.

Publix stores will take competing stores' coupons. You can use a competitor coupon and a manufacturers coupon on the same item! So if Publix is having a sale on an item another store has a coupon for and it accepts that store as a competitor, you can really rack up the savings! Here is a list of Publix competitors in the Savannah, GA & Bluffton, SC Areas.

I am new to algorithms so please forgive me if this sounds basic or stupid.
I want to know this : instead of adding data into some kind of list and then performing a sort on the list, is there a method (data structure+algorithm) that lets me sort the data at the time of adding itself, or to put it another way, inserts the data in its proper place?
eg: if I want to add '3' to {1,5,6}, instead of adding it at the start or end and then sorting the list, I want '3' to go after '1' "directly".

The last act up before headliners and fest co-curators the Flaming Lips took the stage at this multi-day event held at the famous country club in upstate New York, Toronto dance music terrors the Crystal Castles put on a typically intense and strobe-heavy set.

I empathize with you. I can only imagine how tough it is to be able to attract guys, but never the one who aligns with you in that special way you've always longed for. But I've got good news for you... No, it's not that I'm necessarily your man, it's that we're on the same side; Yes, we're obviously of different sexes, but our goals are aligned and maybe that's enough for an intro. I don't know who I'm going to fall in love with, nor do I know how it's going to happen. I don't know what you're going to look like or where you came from, what makes you laugh, cry, what captivates you, or what entices you to carry on in hours-long conversations that only feel like minutes. But this isn't about knowing all that... This is about learning all that. And if all that aligns within two people, then let us tip our hats to that couple. And someday, maybe I can tip my hat to you... And if we're really lucky, maybe others will tip their hats to-... Nah... Don't wanna jinx it. ;) Submitted from mobile
