Buprenorphine, a partial µagonist and K-antagonist, has been proposed as an alternative to methadone for maintenance treatment of opioid dependence, especially for patients with concurrent cocaine dependence or abuse. This study evaluated whether higher maintenance doses of buprenorphine and methadone are superior to lower doses for reducing illicit opioid use and whether buprenorphine is superior to methadone for reducing cocaine use.
A total of 116 subjects were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 maintenance treatment groups involving higher or lower daily doses of sublingual buprenorphine (12 or 4 mg) or methadone (65 or 20 mg) in a double-blind, 24-week clinical trial. Outcome measures included retention in treatment and illicit opioid and cocaine use as determined by urine toxicology testing and self-report.
There were significant effects of maintenance treatment on rates of illicit opioid use, but no significant differences in treatment retention or the rates of cocaine use. The rates of opioid-positive toxicology tests were lowest for treatment with 65 mg of methadone (45%), followed by 12 mg of buprenorphine (58%), 20 mg of methadone (72%), and 4 mg of buprenorphine (77%), with significant contrasts found between 65 mg of methadone and both lower-dose treatments and between 12 mg of buprenorphine and both lower-dose treatments.
The results support the superiority of higher daily bupreporphine and methadone maintenance doses vs lower doses for reducing illicit opioid use, but the results do not support the superiority of buprenorphine compared with methadone for reducing cocaine use.

Israeli DM Approves Yet More Settlement Growth
US Blocks UN Security Council Efforts to Slam Expansion
Settlement expansion announcements keep coming hard and fast in the weeks leading up to the Israeli election, with news today that Defense Minister Ehud Barak okayed the expansion of the Gva'ot settlement recently, but never actually announced it publicly.
The new announcement was another 523 housing units in the West Bank settlement, which lies just west of the Palestinian town of Bethlehem. Gva'ot only has a few dozen residents at this point, so the move is a massive expansion.
This marks nearly 10,000 new settlement homes being announced publicly in the past week, with most of the international community absolutely livid. The UN Security Council almost issued a statement today condemning the move, but the US blocked it.
Instead, the 14 members of the UN Security Council that aren't the United States issued a joint statement blasting Israel for the expansions, saying they undermined faith in Israel's willingness to negotiate a peace settlement. Israel's Ambassador Ron Prosor condemned the rest of the world for criticizing Israel, noting that other things had also happened elsewhere in the world this week that didn't relate directly to Israel, and that they could've conceivably also been the topic of discussion instead.

The Newton Falls School District will begin full-day kindergarten this fall.
Full-day kindergarten was eliminated in the district in 2003 due to lack of finances.
"Our parents were disappointed when it was canceled," Superintendent David Wilson said last week.
The district is restarting the program this year using money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Because the federal stimulus funds are a one-time allocation, the district will have to find another way to pay for the program next year.
Wilson said the district decided to move ahead with the program now both because the money is available and the state will require full-day kindergarten programs in all school districts in the 2010-11 school year.
Extending kindergarten to a full day will require the district to hire at least one new teacher. Depending on the demand, Wilson said it could hire a second teacher.
The cost to hire a new teacher is about $40,000, including salary and benefits.
"The major expense is personnel costs," Wilson said.
Last year, the district had two teachers operating four half-day sessions. There were 83 kindergarten students.
As of July 1, the district has 64 students signed up for classes. Wilson, however, expects that number to increase as word gets out that the city has a full- day program and the school year draws closer.
"We will have people who might have signed their children up for private school programs reconsider because of the all day school," Wilson said.
The Board of Education also decided to waive school fees for students in kindergarten through sixth grade.
School fees typically are for workbooks and other consumable items used in the classroom. Fees are $25 to $30 a year for the average student.
"Many of our parents have been affected by the economy through temporary layoffs and job losses," Wilson said. "People are having problems paying for their necessities.

Could be a bad connection to the Wiimote. If you find it annoying, I believe you can just turn off the sound of the remote.
It has happened three times. All of which I was playing Wii Sports. The audio turns into 100% static and sounds horrible. No other sounds can be heard over the static. I have to exit the game to shut it up. I think it might be a bad disk... I have not had it happen yet with Madden. But, I have played Wii sports more. me = Tennis Addict. Trying to beat the pro guys (score of 1300 was the highest I played) and so far still trying to win that one!
I tried different audio connections, different inputs, etc. I don't think it has to do with that or cable interference.
Anyway... just wondering if this was a common problem. I did some searching and came up short.
Thanks in advance.

The Wii mote audio is great.... Its not the Wiimote
Oh, sorry. Somehow I read it as a Wiimote problem. Well, I'm not sure then sorry.Originally Posted by CasopoliS
Ok after playing Wii for an hour the audio goes full fuzz and you can't hear anything. Does not matter what I am doing. Wii menu, Wii sports, or just sitting there. If I turn the Wii off and back on, it is still there. Sounds like a temperature problem. It is well vented.
sucks. sounds like a lemon.
Well I just submitted a repair request. Looks like they are sending me a UPS label in the mail along with an empty box. This SUCKS. Wii downtime!!!!

The University at Buffalo snapped a three-game losing streak and Canisius suffered its first loss in Big 4 men's basketball on Saturday.
At Alumni Arena, the Bulls defeated Division II Mansfield, 76-57.
With the scored tied, 25-25 with 8:55 left in the first half, the Bulls went on a 14-2 run to pull away and take control of the game. The run was fueled by three-pointers from Richie Sebuharara and Jarryn Skeete.
At the break, UB had a comfortable 50-29 lead and a commanding 20-8 rebounding advantage.
The Bulls finished with a 37-26 edge on the glass, continuing their trend of outrebounding every team they have faced this season. Buffalo also enjoyed balanced scoring as 11 players for Buffalo got in the scoring column.
Will Regan led the Bulls with 15 points on 6 for 9 shooting. Javon McCrea added 14 points on 6 for 8 shooting while adding seven rebounds. Skeete led the Bulls on the boards with nine rebounds.
The Bulls, who improved to 2-5 overall, host Temple on Wednesday.
Meanwhile in Stony Brook, Canisius suffered its first loss of the season, 82-75, to the Seawolves in Pritchard Gymnasium.
Stony Brook held a commanding 47-32 advantage in rebounding and converted 21 second-chance points off 19 offensive rebounds.
"Obviously, the numbers that jump out at you and are really the telltale sign of how things went today are the rebounding numbers and how many more they had than we had," Canisius coach Jim Baron said. "You play these kinds of games because we need to learn to win on the road. I think we need to get a bit more gritty and really work on getting the ball inside. We're going to find things will open up for us offensively when we get the ball inside on a consistent basis."
The Golden Griffins shot a season-low 26.9 percent from three-point range.
Stony Brook jumped out to an 11-2 lead and never trailed in the game.
Billy Baron scored 22 points, including a career best 10 for 11 from the free throw line, while Jordan Heath added a career-high 15 points and Harold Washington 14.
Stony Brook was led by Jaemeel Warney's 18 points. The Seawolves are 3-0 against schools from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference with wins also against Marist and Rider.
Canisius plays UMBC in Baltimore on Thursday.


text: Hi Chucky, I am just starting out after 3 years of depression and I gained 70lbs. I have been trying for a year to get my life back but just kept falling down again and again, but 5 days ago I woke up and felt strong in my mind. So here I am on day 5, it's hard the first week as some get low carb flu. I have it bad today, but I don't mind as I know in the next few days I will start to feel amazing. You just have to decide when you are going to take control of your life, I stopped looking in the mirror as I started to hate myself. This morning my face looks tired but less puffy On the 3rd day evening I had craving and was telling myself to go and have something that it would be okay and I could start again tomorrow. But I did not binge and fell asleep, I am so proud I did it. I am having a teaspoon of honey each day to help me get through this first week, I will give it up next week. And I hope to add it back later when I am completely under control. I hope you can find the strength to change your eating habits, as junk food will destroy your health and life.

Preferential Timing and Income Taxation
Theodore S. Sims
Boston University School of Law
July 24, 2013
Boston Univ. School of Law, Law and Economics Research Paper No. 13-31
I show that the value of preferential taxation of asset returns under an income tax that extends to property income is (a) strictly increasing in the taxpayer's marginal rate if the preference takes the form of a preferential rate; but that (b) it attains some maximum at a marginal rate between 0.5 and 1 if the preference takes the form of favorable timing. Disadvantageous timing has exactly the opposite properties.

An experimental value for the C–H stretch mode in benzene124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2198828View Description Hide Description
We here present experimental infrared spectra on two benzene dimer isomers in the gas phase. The spectra show that the two benzene molecules in the dimer are symmetrically inequivalent and have distinct IR signatures. One of the two molecules is in a site of low symmetry, which leads to the IR activation of fundamental modes that are IR forbidden by symmetry in the monomer. In the spectra, all four fundamental C–H stretch modes of benzene are observed. Modes in the dimer are shifted up to to the red, compared to the modes that are known for the monomer. For the C–H stretch fundamental mode of benzene, a first experimental value of is determined, in excellent agreement with anharmonic frequency calculations presented here.
Transient behavior at the nanoscale124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2198541View Description Hide Description
Transient and steady state responses of a system to an input are well-known features of materials and systems in science and engineering. These responses depend on the intrinsic parameters of the system and on the nature of the input. We find that a system comprised of nanosized features no longer shows the typical stationary characteristics as their microscopic or solid-state counterparts. Interestingly, because of the chemistry of the nanostructure, thermal motion of the atoms, and external fields, the nanosized system shows extended electrical transient behavior, compatible with highly nonlinear features such a negative differential resistance and hysteresis.

Reduced multireference coupled cluster method with singles and doubles: Perturbative corrections for triples124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2194543View Description Hide Description
The reduced multireference coupled-cluster method with singles and doubles (RMR CCSD) that employs multireference configuration interaction wave function as an external source for a small subset of approximate connected triples and quadruples, is perturbatively corrected for the remaining triples along the same lines as in the standard CCSD(T) method. The performance of the resulting RMR CCSD(T) method is tested on four molecular systems, namely, the HF and molecules, the NO radical, and the cation, representing distinct types of molecular structure, using up to and including a cc-pVQZ basis set. The results are compared with those obtained with the standard CCSD(T), UCCSD(T), CCSD(2), and CR CCSD(T) methods, wherever applicable or available. An emphasis is made on the quality of the computed potentials in a broad range of internuclear separations and on the computed equilibrium spectroscopic properties, in particular, harmonic frequencies . It is shown that RMR CCSD(T) outperforms other triply corrected methods and is widely applicable.
A general and efficient pseudopotential Fourier filtering scheme for real space methods using mask functions124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2193514View Description Hide Description
A scheme for the Fourier filtering of pseudopotentials in real space calculations is proposed, in order to reduce the artifact of positional energy dependence ("egg box" effect). It is based on an improved version of the mask function method poposed by Wang [Phys. Rev. B64, 201107–1 (2001)]. It is easy to implement, efficient, and accurate. By using atom-centered compensation charges, the local part of the pseudopotential becomes short ranged and can be filtered on the same footing as the nonlocal parts. A major advantage of the approach is that a generic set of parameters can be used for different pseudopotentials. A balanced parameter set is derived and validated. In this context a strategy to monitor the extent of grid dependence is introduced. It is found that, given a sufficiently fine grid spacing is used to represent the atomic valence density, the positional energy dependence can be reduced below for all investigated atoms. On the example of a symmetric cluster and the molecule it is demonstrated that the artificial symmetry breaking of both bond lengths and orbital energies can substantially be reduced by the filtering scheme.
Time-dependent density functional theory with the generalized restricted-unrestricted approach124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2191501View Description Hide Description
This work presents the derivation, implementation, and first applications of the generalized restricted-unrestricted method based on the density functional Kohn-Sham formalism. By using a spin-restricted Kohn-Sham representation for the reference state the well-known spin contamination problem is avoided, while the unrestricted representation of the perturbation response retains a proper description of spin polarization. The formulation is a generalization of our previous implementation of the restricted-unrestricted method [Z. Rinkevicius et al., J. Chem. Phys.121, 7614 (2004)], as it accounts for the full unrestricted response instead of describing the spin polarization in terms of triplet operators only. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of the generalization employed and demonstrate its numerical performance. For this purpose we focus on isotropic hyperfine coupling constants of a set of organic radicals and transition metalcompounds. For both classes of molecules we observe that the effect of neglecting singlet excitation operators in the response part of restricted-unrestricted formalism changes the calculated hyperfine coupling parameters by a few MHz. The obtained results confirm the validity of the approximation used in the simplified restricted-unrestricted approach, i.e. spin polarization can, in most cases, be adequately described by an account of only triplet operators in the response term.
A post-Hartree-Fock model of intermolecular interactions: Inclusion of higher-order corrections124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2190220View Description Hide Description
We have previously demonstrated that the dipole moment of the exchange hole can be used to derive intermolecular dispersion coefficients [J. Chem. Phys.122, 154104 (2005)]. This was subsequently the basis for a novel post-Hartree-Fock model of intermolecular interactions [J. Chem. Phys.123, 024101 (2005)]. In the present work, the model is extended to include higher-order dispersion coefficients and . The extended model performs very well for prediction of intermonomer separations and binding energies of 45 van der Waals complexes. In particular, it performs twice as well as basis-set extrapolated MP2 theory for dispersion-bound complexes, with minimal computational cost.

A theoretical study of the chiroptical properties of molecules with isotopically engendered chirality124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2191044View Description Hide Description
There has been a considerable interest in the chiroptical properties of molecules whose chirality is exclusively due to an isotopic substitution and numerous examples for the electronic circular dichroism (CD) spectra of isotopically chiral systems have been reported in literature. Four different explanations have been proposed for the mechanism as to how the isotopic substitution induces a chiral perturbation of the otherwise achiral electronic wave function; however, up to now no conclusive answer has been given about the dominating effect responsible for the experimental observations. In this study we will present, for the first time, fully quantum-mechanical calculations of the CD spectra of three different molecular systems with isotopically engendered chirality. As examples, we consider the spectra of organic molecules with ketone and -diketone carbonyl and diene chromophores. The effect of vibronic couplings for the reorientation of the electric and magnetic transitiondipole moments is taken into account within the Herzberg-Teller approximation. The ground and excited state geometries and vibrational normal modes are obtained with (time-dependent) density functional theory [(TD)DFT], while the vibronic coupling effects are calculated at the TDDFT and density functional theory/multireference configuration interaction (DFT/MRCI) levels of theory. Generally, the band shapes of the experimental CD spectra are reproduced very well, and also the absolute CD intensities from the simulations are of the right order of magnitude. The sign and the intensity of the CD band are determined by a delicate balance of the contributions of a large number of individual vibronic transitions, and it is found that the vibrational normal modes with a large displacement are dominant. The separation of the calculated CD spectrum into the different contributions due to the overlap of the in-plane and out-of-plane components (regarding the symmetry plane of the unsubstituted molecule) of the electric and magnetic transitiondipole moments yields information about the influence of the vibronic coupling effects for the reorientation of the corresponding transitiondipole moments. In conclusion, the calculations clearly show that vibronic effects are responsible or at least dominant for the chiroptical properties of isotopically chiral organic molecules.
Determination of the bond strength via the resonant two-photon photodissociation threshold: Electronic and vibrational spectroscopy of124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2183303View Description Hide Description
We use a two-laser pump-probe technique coupled with messenger atom tagging to determine the bondenergy of to in the ion, a prevalent species in the upper atmosphere. In this technique, the argon-tagged ion is first electronically excited using a visible laser, then irradiated with a tunable near-infrared beam across the dissociation threshold while products are monitored. This method yields a bondenergy of , which is about higher than previously reported. Combining this with the well-known heats of formation of and , 105.6 and , respectively [Thermodynamic Properties of Individual Substances, edited by L. V. Gurvich, I. V. Veyts, and C. B. Alcock (Hemisphere, New York, 1989), Vol. 1 and CODATA Thermodynamic Tables, edited by O. Garvin, V. B. Parker, and J. H. J. White (Hemisphere, New York, 1987)], yields the heat of formation:. The one-photon (i.e., linear) infrared and electronic spectra of are also presented and compared to those obtained previously. The one-photon electronic spectrum is nearly identical to two-photon spectra, implying that argon does not significantly perturb the ion or its symmetry. The infrared spectrum is drastically different than that obtained in an argon matrix, however, indicating that the ion is likely distorted in the matrix environment.
Quantum real wave-packet dynamics of the reaction on the ground and first excited triplet potential energy surfaces: Rate constants, cross sections, and product distributions124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2186643View Description Hide Description
The reaction was studied by means of the time-dependent real wave-packet (WP) method and the -shifting approximation. We consider the ground and first excited triplet states, which correlate with both reactants and products, using analytical potential energy surfaces (PESs) recently developed in our group. This work extends our previous quantum dynamics study, and probabilities, cross sections, and rate constants were calculated and interpreted on the basis of the different shapes of the PESs (barrierless and with barrier surfaces, respectively). The WP rate constant shows a weak dependence on , as the dominant contribution to reactivity is provided by the barrierless ground PES. There is a good agreement of WP with the measurements and variational transition state theory (VTST) data, and also between the WP and VTST results. Nevertheless, there is a large discrepancy between the WP and VTST results. Product state distributions were also calculated for the much more reactive PES. There is an excellent agreement with the experimental average fraction of vibrational energy in , the only measured dynamics property of this reaction.
Correlation energy extrapolation by intrinsic scaling. V. Electronic energy, atomization energy, and enthalpy of formation of water124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2194542View Description Hide Description
The method of correlationenergy extrapolation by intrinsic scaling, recently introduced to obtain accurate molecular electronic energies, is used to calculate the total nonrelativistic electronic ground state energy of the water molecule. Accurate approximations to the full configuration interactionenergies are determined for Dunning's [J. Chem. Phys.90, 1007 (1989)]correlation-consistent double-, triple- and quadruple-zeta basis sets and then extrapolated to the complete basis set limit. The approach yields the total nonrelativistic energy, which compares very well with the value of derived from experiment. The energy of atomization is recovered within . The enthalpy of formation, which is obtained in conjunction with our previous calculation of the dissociation energy of the oxygen molecule, is recovered within .
Stereographic projection path-integral simulations of clusters124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2192773View Description Hide Description
We perform several quantum canonical ensemble simulations of clusters. The HF stretches are rigid, and the stereographic projection path-integral method is employed for the simulation in the resulting curved configuration space. We make use of the reweighted random series techniques to accelerate the convergence of the path-integral simulation with respect to the number of path coefficients. We develop and test estimators for the total energy and heat capacity based on a finite difference approach for non-Euclidean spaces. The quantum effects at temperatures below are substantial for all sizes. We observe interesting thermodynamic behaviors in the quantum simulations of the octamer and the heptamer.
Conversion pathways between a fullerene and a ring among clusters by a sphere contracting walk method: Remarkable difference in local potential energy landscapes around the fullerene and the ring124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2192784View Description Hide Description
Conversion pathways from a fullerene to a ring and vice versa among clusters have been explored. A new technique has been developed for discovering multistep reaction pathways, which can be searched by finding constrained energy minima on spheres whose surfaces are contracting from the starting point to the terminal. Local landscapes that appeared on the pathways were found to be considerably different around the fullerene and the ring, from which one can make a new interpretation for no generation of the fullerene in laser vaporization of graphite.
Coherent ultrafast photoelectron spectroscopy in : An alternative method for measuring transitions in Rydberg-to-Rydberg excitations124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2190218View Description Hide Description
A two-state vibrational wave packet is prepared in a low-lying Rydberg state of jet cooled (, and ) by two-photon excitation with pulses from an ultrafast laser. The wave packet is detected by autoionization following excitation with time-delayed pulses to the and Rydberg states in the angular momentum core state. Autoionization of each state occurs to the state of the ion through spin-orbit ionization. Photoelectron spectroscopy is used to differentiate between the and ejected photoelectrons. Detection of the wave packet recurrences via the and Rydberg states reveals a phase-shift difference of the recurrences between the two final states. In each case, transitions are observed since wave packet recurrences are detected. By fitting the observed phase change of the recurrences with a simple model for the overlap amplitudes and assumptions about the potentials, we estimate, within the context of the model, that approximately 0.6% of the transitions may be attributed to transitions between the initial Rydberg superposition state and the final Rydberg detection state.
A theoretical anharmonic study of the infrared absorption spectra of , , , and anions124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2191042View Description Hide Description
Anharmonic vibrational frequencies, equilibrium bond lengths, rotational constants, and vibrational absorption spectra have been calculated for the triatomic anions, and , and the heavier isotopomers and . The triatomic anions are assumed to maintain a collinear configuration throughout all calculations, so only the symmetric and asymmetric stretching modes are considered. The two-dimensional permanent dipole surfaces and potential energy surfaces are then constructed along bond coordinates, using high-level ab initio methods. Fundamental and combination bands are obtained from the vibrational eigenfunctions, resulting in anharmonic frequencies, which can be compared with the available theoretical and experimental data. The agreement is very good, especially for the pure symmetric modes, while the asymmetric ones show larger discrepancies, presumably due to the neglected coupling between stretching and bending modes. Strong inverse anharmonicity is found in the level spacing of the asymmetric modes, for both and anions. The calculated mixed modes (, , ) also agree reasonably with the few available experimental data, supporting our model. Based on the vibrational eigenfunctions, isotope effects are also rationalized. Infrared absorption spectra are calculated from the dipole autocorrelation function for and , and for and . Peak locations and relative intensities are assigned in terms of the fundamental and mixed transitions.
High-resolution laser excitation spectroscopy of the transition of124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2189236View Description Hide Description
High-resolution laser excitation spectroscopy has been used to record the electronic transition of in a laser ablation/molecular jet source. Transitions arising from the , , and subbands have been observed and assigned. The data were modeled with and symmetric top Hamiltonian matrices in a Hund's case (a) basis, using a least squares fitting program. Rotational and fine structure parameters for the state were determined. A comparison of the spin-orbit energy separation in the state to other strontium containing free radicals showed that the Jahn-Teller effect is negligible. The spin-rotation constants for the state were calculated using the pure precession model and were found to be in good agreement with the experimentally determined parameters. These calculations suggest that the state of is not entirely of orbital character. The rotational constants were used to estimate the structural parameters of in the state. The strontium-carbon bond length was found to decrease by , and the hydrogen-carbon-hydrogen bond angle opened by compared to the state, similar to the geometry changes observed for .
High resolution spectroscopy and potential determination of the state of NaCs124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2189237View Description Hide Description
The state of the NaCs molecule was studied by high resolution Fourier-transform spectroscopy. The laser induced fluorescence was excited by an ion laser or by a single-mode frequency-doubled cw Nd:YAG laser. The presence of argon buffer gas yielded rich rotational relaxation spectra allowing to enlarge the data set for the state term values, as well as to observe splittings in a wide range of vibrational and rotational quantum numbers. The data field includes about 820 energy levels of NaCs in the range from to 37 and from to 190, which corresponds to ca. 95% of the potential well depth. Direct fit of the potential energy curve to the level energies is realized using the inverted perturbation approach method; a set of Dunham coefficients is also presented.

Within the scope of studying the molecular implications of the cation in environmental and polluting processes, this paper reports Hartree-Fock and density functional theory (B3LYP) four-component relativistic calculations using an all-electron basis set applied to and , two complexes expected to be found in the terrestrial atmosphere. It is shown that full-relativistic calculations validate the use of scalar relativistic approaches within the framework of density functional theory. is found at any level of calculations whereas can be found bent or linear depending of the computational methodology used. When is found the barrier to inversion through the structure is very low, and can be overcome at high enough temperature, making the molecule floppy. In order to get a better understanding of the bonding occurring between the cation and the and ligands, natural bond orbital and atoms-in-molecule calculations have been performed. These approaches are supplemented by a topological analysis of the electron localization function. Finally, the description of these complexes is refined using constrained-space orbital variation complexation energy decompositions.
Multireference configuration interaction study of the electronic states of ZrC124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2191496View Description Hide Description
The potential energy curves and spectroscopic constants of the ground and 32 low-lying electronic states of ZrC have been studied by employing multireference configuration interaction methods, in conjunction with relativistic effective core potentials and , basis sets con Zr and C, respectively. We have determined that the ground state is . However there are two low-lying states (below ) which strongly interact resulting in avoided crossings. The lowest state corresponds to a combination of configurations whereas the second is an open shell singlet . Several avoided crossings were observed, for , , , , and states. We have identified and lying at 4367 and , respectively. The results are in good agreement with the recent experimental findings of Rixon et al. [J. Mol. Spectrosc.228, 554 (2004)], and indicate that the , and , bands located between are extremely complex due to near degeneracy of several and states. We also have identified a state in the same region that may interfere with the emission bands. The present results not only shed further light into the spectra of ZrC but also predict yet to be observed systems.

Collision-induced alignment of drifting in helium124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2189235View Description Hide Description
The collision-induced alignment of drifting in helium is studied with a molecular dynamics method that has been extended to treat nonlinear rigid ions. Rotational distribution functions and averaged quantities are presented in terms of the formalism [M. Thachuk, Phys. Rev. A72, 032722 (2005)], and it is shown that this description gives a very good agreement with simulation results. In addition to velocity and angular velocity autocorrelation functions, a velocity-angular velocity cross correlation function is introduced. This cross correlation function provides insight into the dynamical nature of the alignment mechanism.
Water solvent effect on the first hyperpolarizability of -nitrophenol and -nitrophenylphosphate: A time-dependent density functional study124(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2187490View Description Hide Description
The first hyperpolarizabilities of -nitrophenol and -nitrophenylphosphate have been investigated in vacuum and in neutral aqueous solution by means of time-dependent density functional theory. The calculated excited states and hyperpolarizabilities obtained for these systems and for the molecules of phenol, nitrobenzene, and -nitroaniline in vacuum match well with the experimental trends. The watersolvent has been described by the conductorlike screening model and has been completed by water molecules interacting by hydrogen bonds with the solute. The results show a significant effect of the solvent on the first hyperpolarizability. In particular, the hyperpolarizability of -nitrophenylphosphate in vacuum is only 1.2 times larger than -nitrophenol , whereas it is almost twice higher in aqueous environment, and , respectively. This difference in the nonlinear response in neutral water makes the -nitrophenylphosphate substrate a suitable probe for measuring the activity of alkaline phosphatase enzymes.

This is the second installment of a weekly feature profiling the individuals who will be inducted into the Western Michigan University Athletic Hall of Fame in October.
WMU Athletic Hall of Fame Banquet
When: 6 p.m. Oct. 29, at the Fetzer Center
Tickets: $30

KALAMAZOO — On a June afternoon in 1957, Pittsburgh Pirates manager Bobby Bragan watched Roberto Clemente grab his back along the base path after blistering a double at Milwaukee's County Stadium.
Bragan called for Ken Hamlin, who had just finished his senior season at Western Michigan University under coach Charlie Maher days earlier, to pinch run for the star. Hamlin grabbed his helmet and hoofed it to the bag, catching a glimpse of Henry Aaron, the Braves' right fielder, en route.
"I look back at those experiences, especially when I was a rookie at that time, and going straight from Western Michigan to Pittsburgh — the big club — was quite an accomplishment," said Hamlin, who will be inducted into WMU's Hall of Fame next month.
"The people that you were rubbing shoulders with were exceptional. That was my introduction."
From 1957 to 1966, the Battle Creek native and second-team all-American at Western played in 468 MLB games with four different clubs, finishing with a .241 batting average and sterling .961 fielding percentage — mostly at shortstop. Hamlin's debut was his only game with the Pirates that summer, and he was called back up in 1959 for three games.
Traded to the Kansas City Athletics the following year, he played in a season-high 139 games before the expansion draft sent him to Los Angeles, where he became one of the original starting nine for the startup Angels.
"That was an exciting time," Hamlin said. "That was a super experience. I would have had a good year but I suffered a concussion. I ran into our center fielder on a pop-up against Baltimore and we collided and I woke up in the hospital. That really set me back. I ended up going to Toronto, which was a Triple-A ball club, worked myself back in shape and then Washington drafted me off that roster."
Hamlin finished his career with the Senators before devoting most of his time and nearly all of his meager earnings on the Tall Timbers boys camp in Climax. Two decades later, he moved to the Upper Peninsula to do the same with an outpost camp in McMillan.
"(Outdoors activities were) a part of my father's life, too, and I became accustomed to that," he said. "I went back to teaching school and coaching baseball for a year at Lakeview High School (1968) because we had exhausted our money (on the camp). For a year, we just got by. But we never looked back."
Until now.
"Of all the people I've met in Major League Baseball, (Mickey) Mantle, (Roger) Maris, (Al) Kaline, coach Maher named me to his all-time nine there at Western Michigan before he died," Hamlin fondly recalled. "That was one of my big thrills. That was just a thrill beyond words. It became more important to me as I grew older and realized what a great coach Charlie Maher was and how lucky I was to be at Western Michigan and to have him as a coach. I began to appreciate that more and more."

Minimally Invasive Liver Resection
Laparoscopic tools allow Emory doctors to perform minimally invasive liver resections. An operation that used to require opening the abdominal cavity is done through a few small incisions, using specially designed cameras and tools. This approach allows for quicker recovery and most patients return home a few days after their procedure.
Whipple Surgery for Cancer of the Pancreas
Emory surgeons are leading the way towards perfecting the Whipple procedure. This major surgical operation is performed to treat cancers of the head of the pancreas, the distal bile duct, or the duodenum, and also to treat pancreatitis. The surgery is performed in two stages.
Liver Transplant and Immunosuppressive Drug Research
Emory is at the forefront of transplant immunology research, using groundbreaking strategies to prevent rejection of transplanted organs by establishing true immune tolerance with drugs that are less toxic and have less side effects (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, kidney toxicity and diabetes) than traditional immunosuppressants.

Yahoo reported a net loss of $303 million, or 22 cents a share, compared with a profit of $206 million, or 15 cents a share, a year ago. Yahoo said it incurred $108 million in charges related to severance of employees and $488 million in write-downs of some of its European assets. [REFERENCE]
The original king of the search engines, Yahoo is getting battered even more. When Microsoft wanted to buy Yahoo the decision was a big NO. Now, from Yahoo's perspective, that sale would have been the best decision possible. With the stock a mere fraction of the value it was last year Yahoo has a lot of rebuilding to do. If rebuilding is possible at all with all the competition. The main competition is Google. One advantage Yahoo has is advertising on its homepage. Google has always had a simple homepage with no advertisements. Nor has Google provided the various tidbits of information Yahoo is famous for on its homepage. I still believe in Yahoo as a good product, and although there is a tremendous amount of competing search engines the main power of Yahoo comes from its history; it was the first. I don't think Yahoo will sell; especially at the low price its at. I think they will try and rebuild to some degree, and then maybe in the future a sale is possible. For now they will remain a separate entity try to expand on the territory they they still control.

To me, being Jewish means carrying the burden of 5,000 years. Sometimes the burden is as light as honeycomb. Sometimes it is filled with stones and stacked-up paper. People either envy me my airy backpack or regard my stones with incomprehension or bored indifference. My job is to acknowledge both precious burdens as one, to talk about it to my children and to shoulder it with pride.

Problèmes de l'Adaptation Filmique d'un Texte Littéraire: Études Comparées de Madame Bovary de Gustave Flaubert et du Colonel Chabert d'Honoré de Balzac
Date: May 1998
Creator: Conditto, Kerri L. (Kerri Lee)
Description: The release of the two films, Madame Bovary (1992) by Claude Chabrol and Le Colonel Chabert (1994) by Yves Angelo, arouses an interest in a method which studies the rapport between the seventh art and literature. Following the studies of the narratologists, Gerard Genette, Yves Reuter, Gerard-Denis Farcy, Celestino Deleyto, Andre Gaudreault and Francois Jost, a method of analyzing and studying the relationship between literature and cinema can be developed. The principal interest of a comparative study can reside in the relationship between the story and the narration of the two genres of works. The study conducted at this level of analysis allows the appreciation of the impoverishments or the enrichments operated by the adapter. The comparative analysis of the works of Flaubert, Chabrol, Balzac, and Angelo reveal the problems relative to the cinematographic adaptation.

Hi Technique lovers...today will be never ending. HA! I know some Mondays feel that way, but what I mean is that for today's technique we'll be making Never Ending Cards.
These are fun, interactive cards that will amaze not only you (trust me, they really ARE easy once you see the video that Dawn Griffith has posted on YouTube), but they will WOW the person receiving them even more. I started to do a pictorial on this technique, but Dawn's video really does an excellent job of outlining the steps, and if you are a visual learner, like me, you will find the video very helpful.
These cards make a unique gift, one which kids especially love! I hope that you will give it a try.

A Chat with Carol Reed is Worth $10k? Lets Hope She Speaks Really Slowly.
Leaking dollars: Buzz is not what you'd call a materialistic person. A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou is paradise enow for us. Still, there come moments when we're gob-smacked by how much money other people make and become a little bit envious.
OK, a large bit envious.
Say, for example, we have to pay a plumber to fix a leak at our house, which happens about every other week. (Apparently, what we thought was a house is actually a fountain made of brick and soggy wallboard.) "You want how much?" we ask, agog. And then we pay him. Gotta have water.
Carol Reed
But for true agogedness, you should take a look at the copies of e-mails between Bill Fisher, the housing developer turned informant in the City Hall corruption trial in federal court, and local big shot political consultant and lobbyist Carol Reed. Reed was one of several political consultants hired by Fisher to win council approval for his affordable housing projects in southern Dallas. Reed has not been accused of any wrongdoing in her work as a lobbyist for Fisher—a point raised repeatedly by defense lawyers whose clients have been accused of tons of wrongdoing for similar work—and we're not saying she broke any laws either.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Cincinnati Bengals
TicketsSun., Oct. 9, 3:25pm
Party Pass: Dallas Cowboys v Cincinnati Bengals
TicketsSun., Oct. 9, 3:25pm
Now Reed is a savvy political strategist, which probably explains why Fisher was willing to pay a $10,000 nonrefundable retainer for a meeting with Reed and her associates—just to, you know, talk about the deals. (Reed's company stood to make $100,000 if all three of Fisher's deals were approved.) By way of comparison, Buzz's plumber usually charges $39 just to come to our house and a tad less than $100,000 to actually fix a leak.
The appalling part of all this isn't that Reed gets such a large, nonrefundable retainer. She's entitled to grab whatever anyone is willing to pay her. The sickening part is that ANYONE could make that much money to influence what are essentially basic government services—deciding issues of land use and housing density and affordability. Imagine if the plumber who fixes a leak at Buzz's house demanded an extra fee to persuade a city council member to call on a code inspector to come out and OK the work.
Uh, wait. Don't imagine that. And for God's sake, don't mention it around your local council person, 'cause you don't want to plant any ideas. Buzz is due another leak soon, and we don't have $10k just to chat with Reed and associates. —Patrick Williams

GEF Holds Second Meeting of the GEF-6 Replenishment
11 September 2013: The Global Environment Facility (GEF) convened the second meeting of the negotiations for the sixth replenishment of the GEF, bringing together representatives from 29 donor countries, four non-donor recipient countries, civil society, GEF agencies, Trustee, the Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP), the Evaluation Office and the Secretariat.
The meeting took place in New Delhi, India, on 10-11 September 2013, and addressed: the 'Overall Performance Studies' of the GEF, an independent evaluation of the GEF's operations during previous replenishment periods; Strategic Positioning for the GEF (Elements of Strategic Direction, Differentiated Financing Resource Allocation System, and Private Sector Engagement); and the GEF-6 Programming Directions.
The 'Draft GEF-6 Policy Recommendations,' which outline the main reforms emerging from the strategic positioning and programming directions proposed for GEF-6, cover the following aspects: differentiating approaches to financing; adjusting the resource allocation system; strengthening results-based management and the knowledge-management system; enhancing engagement with the private sector; and mainstreaming gender.
The proposed 'signature programs' outlined in the Draft GEF-6 programming directions consist of: taking deforestation out of the commodities supply chain; rebuilding global fisheries; sustainable cities - harnessing local action for global commons; fostering sustainability and resilience of production systems in Africa; and a new development path for the amazon basin. In addition, the programming directions stress the importance for sustainable development of jointly tackling the issues of energy, water and food. Therefore, two of the signature programs, namely sustainable cities and fostering sustainability and resilience of production systems in Africa, build on the nexus between these themes for greater impact and efficiency in the overall investments.
The GEF-6 replenishment will seek to fund four years of GEF operations and activities, beginning 1 July 2014 and ending 30 June 2018 (FY15-FY18). [Second Meeting for the Sixth Replenishment (GEF-6) Documents] [GEF-6 Replenishment Participation, Proposed Timetable and Core Replenishment Topics]

Harahan officials are stepping up to try to keep Colonial Golf & Country Club off the auction block.
Mayor Paul Johnston and two City Council members on Friday invited club officials, the club's major lender and a group of would-be investors to a series of meetings Monday.
"Colonial's land is the heart of Harahan," Johnston said, describing the 88 acres of green space in the middle of town. Harahan officials "can't sit idly by and risk losing the integrity of this land to the uncertainty of foreclosure."
On Monday, the club's chief lender took the first step in the foreclosure process, after club members did not sign an agreement to settle the club's $6 million debt to Colonial Finance. The finance company, owned by Lauricella Land Co. and its chief financial officer, Louis Lauricella, came forward three years ago to avert foreclosure and pay the club's bank debt, $4.5 million at the time.
On Friday, the attorney for Colonial Finance said the company has not yet authorized the court order to seize and sell the club's property. That delay is saving a 3 percent commission due the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, which would handle the public auction of the country club.
"If everybody can come to an agreement about how this thing moves forward and there can be a clear commitment that we will be paid everything we're due in short order, then we would be willing to continue not to cause the writ of seizure and sale," said the attorney, Stephen Dwyer.
However, he added, "If no resolution is reached, then we will . . . proceed to complete the foreclosure."
Joining Johnston in the effort to avert the foreclosure are City Council members Vinny Mosca and Lawrence Landry.
"The future of this land is critical to our city," Mosca said. "So, we are hoping to act as mediators, and find a common resolve to this matter."
Johnston said he plans three separate meetings Monday: one with country club members, one with Colonial Finance and one with potential investors Tony Manzella, Jr. and Gerard Breaux Jr. A follow-up meeting is planned Tuesday with all the groups in an attempt to craft a compromise.
No more than two City Council members will be present at any meeting, Johnston said, to avoid violating Louisiana's Open Meetings Law.
"We must do our part to save as much of the green space as is possible," Landry said.
