The Chateau Tivoli B&B's Frequently Asked Questions
Questions About the B&B: Where are you located? Is the neighborhood safe? The B&B is located in the Alamo Square Historic District. The district is filled with gorgeously-restored Victorians dating from the 1880s, including the iconic "Painted Ladies" of Alamo Square Park. The Alamo Square Historic District is part of a larger neighborhood called the Western Addition, which also includes Hayes Valley, the Fillmore Jazz District, Japantown, and the North of Panhandle (NoPa) neighborhood. We consider the area friendly and safe. What kind of parking is available? Effective September 2015, unrestricted street parking is no longer available for non-resident vehicles during the day. Overnight street parking is free but may be difficult to find. When parking on the street, please read all signs carefully and curb the wheels. There is a parking garage at 1470 Eddy St. (@ Fillmore) with overnight parking for approximately $25. The garage does not offer in/out privileges. The B&B does not have parking available. Can I take public transportation from the San Francisco Airport (SFO) to the B&B? How much does it cost? Yes! The total cost is approximately $10/person. From SFO: - Follow the BART signs to the subway station on the terminal's lower level. - Board any northbound train. - Exit at Powell Street Station. - Exit the subway station at Powell & Market Sts., where the cable cars turn around. - Walk to the sidewalk bus stop for the #5 Fulton bus, heading west (outbound) towards Ocean Beach. Ride to the McAllister & Pierce stop. (Please note: the #5L bus runs a limited route and stops at McAllister & Fillmore instead.) - Exit at McAllister & Pierce. Walk down McAllister 1 block and turn left at Steiner Street. We are the last building on the left, at the intersection of Steiner and Golden Gate Avenue. How far are you from Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, or Union Square? Can I walk there? The B&B is located 3.2 miles (5.2 km) from Fisherman?s Wharf, 2.5 miles (4 km) from Chinatown, and 2 miles (3.2 km) from Union Square. Guests usually take public transportation to these areas. Is public transportation easily available in your area? Yes. There are two bus lines within 2 blocks (#22 and #5/5L) and several others within 7 blocks. The cable cars are located downtown and provide access only to Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, Union Square and The Embarcadero. Where can I walk to from the B&B? 3 blocks -- Alamo Square Park and the Painted Ladies 3 blocks -- Divisadero Street, lined with local restaurants, shops, coffee houses, and featuring live music venue The Independent 4 blocks -- The Fillmore Jazz District, featuring Yoshi's Jazz Club and famed music club The Fillmore 6 blocks -- Japantown and the Sundance Kabuki Cinema 8 blocks -- Pacific Heights (north) or Hayes Valley (south) - Both are charming neighborhoods packed with restaurants, coffee houses and boutiques 16 blocks -- Haight-Ashbury, a 25-minute walk...dig it, man! Plus, the Panhandle area of Golden Gate Park (the main park is a 10-minute bus ride from the B&B) Is there an elevator available? The B&B is a walk-up building with no elevator. We regret we are unable to assist with luggage. Guests are asked to be prepared to carry their luggage up/down the stairs. What size beds do the rooms have? Most of the guest rooms have full-size beds, about 53 inches (134 cm) wide by 75 inches (190 cm) long. The Aimee Crocker Room and Luisa Tetrazzini Suite have queen-size beds, about 60 inches (152 cm) wide by 80 inches (203 cm) long. The Mark Twain Suite is the only room with a king-size bed, about 76 inches (193 cm) wide by 80 inches (203 cm) long. The rollaway beds are twin-sized, about 38 inches (96 cm) wide by 75 (190 cm) long. Do the rooms have air conditioning? San Francisco's year-round weather averages between 60-70 degrees F (15-21 degrees C), so air conditioning is unnecessary. Do the bathrooms have showers or bathtubs? Six bathrooms have showers. Three bathrooms have antique claw-foot tubs with either a fixed showerhead or a European-style handheld shower handle. Are there any T.V.s in the B&B? There are no T.V.s but we do offer books, magazines and board games. Do you have Wi-fi? Yes. A complimentary secure wireless network is available in the main floor/lobby area. The network is being upgraded to cover the rest of the building. Do you have a computer for guest use? The lobby doesn't have a communal computer but we are happy to assist you in our office with online check-ins and boarding passes. Do you allow children? Yes! Children of all ages are welcome. Portable cribs and a high chair are available. Do you allow pets? Only service animals with medical licenses are allowed. Do you have rollaway beds available? Yes, a limited number of twin rollaway beds are available, which must be reserved in advance. Please inquire when booking as some rooms cannot accommodate a rollaway bed. Do you serve breakfast? Do you offer other dining? Yes, a continental buffet is offered Monday-Friday from 8-10 am, and a weekend champagne breakfast is offered with seatings at 9 and 10 am. (The continental breakfast is a cold breakfast.) Breakfasts are served in our dining room but guests are welcome to take dining back to their rooms. We also offer an afternoon wine-and-cheese reception each day in the parlor, usually from 4-6 pm. Self-serve tea is available in the dining room and coffee is available upon request. Is the dining included in the room rates? Yes, the room rates are package rates that include the breakfast, wine-and-cheese reception and tea/coffee. Do you accommodate dietary needs? Yes, please contact us at least 7 days prior to arrival with any dietary requests. Do you accommodate gift item requests (flowers, champagne, etc.)? Yes, please contact us at least 7 days prior to arrival with any gift item requests. A $25 service fee applies to all gift orders. Do you accept Bed&Breakfast.com gift cards? The B&B is one of many properties with a profile on Bed&Breakfast.com that does not participate in their gift card program. Is the Chateau Tivoli family-owned? Yes. The B&B has always been independently owned and operated, and the current family has owned the property since 1997. Questions About San Francisco: If I want to visit Alcatraz, how far in advance do I need to buy tickets? For a summertime visit (June-August), we recommend booking at least 1 month in advance. For all other times, 1 week is usually sufficient. How do I book Alcatraz tickets? Alcatraz tickets can only be booked online or purchased in person at Pier 33. What's San Francisco's weather like in the winter? San Francisco's winters are mild. Daytime temperatures are usually 50-54 degrees F (10-13 degrees C), and nighttime temperatures are usually 38-42 degrees F (3-6 degrees C). Fog, rain and strong, cold winds are frequent, especially near the ocean. We almost never receive snow or ice. Is a car necessary to see the city? Not at all. San Francisco is a small, compact city measuring seven miles (11 km) wide. We encourage guests to come without a car. All major areas of the city are accessible by public transit. There are many shops and restaurants within walking distance of the B&B, and our innkeepers can also call taxis. Are there any city events I should be aware of when planning my trip? Several annual events are large enough to interrupt transportation and impact visitor sights: May - Bay to Breakers 12K Running Race - City-wide June - LGBT Pride Parade - Market St., Civic Center September - Oracle Software Conference (60K+ participants) - Downtown, Moscone Center October - Fleet Week - Fisherman's Wharf October - Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Music Festival (70K+ participants) - Golden Gate Park October - SalesForce Software Conference (120K+ participants) - Downtown, Moscone Center

Police officers arrested a man and seized four vehicles and a cache of drugs Friday, according to the Amarillo Police Department.
A two-week drug investigation by the Amarillo Police Department Narcotics Unit resulted in the arrest of Nathaniel Robinson II, 28, and several search/seizure warrants being executed, the APD said. Members of the APD Narcotics Unit and SWAT team arrested Robinson at 3:26 p.m. at 905 S. Polk St. on a municipal warrant and transported him to the Potter County Detention Center.
During a search of a 2007 Dodge Charger Robinson was in, 69 grams of crack, with a street value of $13,800, along with 1 ounce of marijuana were seized, police said.
Several search and seizure warrants were obtained during a two-week investigation for several luxury vehicles owned by Robinson, police said.
Agents seized a vehicle in the 1900 block of Rogers Street, and agents then went to Robinson's residence at 7720 Reward St. to seize additional vehicles, police said.
Once inside the residence, narcotics were observed and a narcotics search warrant was obtained for the residence, the APD reported. During the execution of the search warrant, several handguns, along with 668 grams of cocaine powder and 383 grams of crack cocaine were recovered with a total street value of $143,500, according to police.
Four vehicles were seized.
The investigation is still ongoing and additional charges are expected against Robinson, police said.

Following Michele Bachmann's triumph in the Ames Straw Poll, she was immediately crowned the frontrunner in the Iowa Caucus. While winning the Ames Straw Poll does not guarantee a victory at the Iowa Caucus (just ask Mitt Romney), it does show the strength of a candidate's campaign operation and popular support. But most importantly, victory at Ames does not make a candidate a mainstream political figure. As Tim Murphy writes today in Mother Jones and consistently chronicled on RWW, Bachmann throughout her entire political career has seen herself and acted as an ultraconservative... MORE >

Before last year's Values Voter Summit, we made a concerted effort to hold organizers and participants accountable for willingly sharing the stage with Bryan Fischer, the Religious Right's most unapologetic bigot. Fischer was a featured speaker at the event, just as he had been the year before, and we called upon Republican leaders like Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann who were scheduled to speak alongside of Fischer at the event to take a stand about Fischer's relentless bigotry. Needless to say, they refused to do any such thing and Fischer was given twenty minutes to spew... MORE >

The keynote speakers at the conference were Mike Huckabee and Rep. Michele Bachmann. The line-up at this conference was so radical that we put together a report on the participants which gave special attention to the truly fringe views espouse by Porter: It is probably impossible to overstate the extremism and lunacy...

- " Some of the staff members seemed a bit bitter, as if they wished they were elsewhere. The place was overall clean, but the rooms themselves were a bit of a mess. This is somewhat expected in hostels, but I would say this one was worse than most because of the bed-to-floorspace ratio: There were too many beds for the allotted floor space. That being said, it was very inexpensive so I can't knock that! "

Norwich band plays for ObamaJanuary 22,2013
The Norwich University Regimental Band represented Vermont on Monday at President Barack Obamas inaugural parade in Washington, D.C.
The 55-member Northfield-based unit marched the 1.6-mile route down Pennsylvania Avenue to reach the White House shortly before 6 p.m., at which time it played the National Emblem March, composed a century ago by Vermonter E.E. Bagley.
It was a long day and a little nappy, but everything went smoothly, the bands director, Lt. Col. Todd Edwards said by phone after the event. What an honor it was to perform for the president.
The oldest collegiate band in the country, the Regimental Band founded in 1823 has traveled to the swearing-ins of presidents John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. It is set to return to the state today.

After playing a game last week in which nothing went right, the Eagles came out Sunday night against the New York Giants and looked intent on playing a game in which nothing went anywhere. Fortunately for them, so did the Giants.
Any time the game begins with nine straight punts, it is clearly not going to be a night in which the winner dominates, but one in which the winner figures out how to survive just a little bit better than the other guy.

Skip to comments.Prayer request - help please
Posted on 03/31/2012 8:04:41 PM PDT by mills044
Hello everyone-
Very scary day over here. My 39 yr old wife suffered an instaneous, out of the blue headache this morning and collapsed. Apparently this is referred to as a "thunderclap" headache, and at the ER she later began exhibiting signs of seizure: right side of her body wouldn't respond, and she could not answer some basic questions- though later she told me that she knew the answers, but could not make her mouth form the words.
Nikki is now feeling better, and has recovered her speech and motor functions completely. They've ruled out aneurism,'hemorrageand stroke; However, the doctors have discovered 2 centimeter abnormality on her brain- either a tumor, or possibly a lesion (due to MS maybe?). We meet with several neurologists tomorrow morning and are at the hospital tonight.
If there are any freepers who could please send us your prayers, we are very much in need of them right now. God bless, and thanks in advance.
I will pray for your wife.
Please keep us updated on her condition.
Prayers up for your wife.
Prayers for your wife and also for you. MM
Thank you! Your post reminded me.
Mills, does Nikki drink diet coke/soda?
Sending prayers to you and your wife!
I will keep your wife and you in my prayers.
Praying for you...
May God hold her and you- her family- in the palm of His hand.
Scary, indeed.
Keep hope-He is with you.
Prayers up BIG TIME.
Prayers from ours to yours.
I know you must be scared
God will provide
In Jesus name
Prayers for Nikki and you too. May the Lord give both of you the strength you need during this ordeal.
Prayers Up!
Absolutely! Prayers sent for you wife, as well as for you, and her doctors. May the Lord guide them in finding the answers you seek, and May His healing hands touch your wife and bring her to complete health.
Wow! Hard news. Will pray for her.
Wife collapsed . . . brain . . . mass of unknown composition . . .
Prayers up
Prayer just said. Stay strong Nikki.
I join in urgent prayer for your wife!
Thank you for sharing with FReepers this jolt.
We are with you in both spirit and prayer, asking for peace and comfort for you both and for a fine outcome, to the glory of God our Father. +++
Let us know how things are going. Thanks.
You and your wife will be in my prayers.
Just said a prayer for your wife and the family.
Prayers up.
Very frightening. May the Lord be in the midst of all the tests and especially in the outcome. And may He grant you and your wife peace of mind in the meantime.

The running costs do hurt an otherwise very competent printer. The CS410dn does everything well, without excelling for its price range. If you want a sturdy page churner that can also slip to high quality colour for the odd big splash, the Lexmark will serve you well. Colour freaks may want to consider paying a little bit more upfront for a higher-priced model that can offer superior long-term running costs.

7. Brother HL-3140CW
- Rating:
- Reviewed on: 10 October 13
- RRP: £140 (inc VAT)
The Brother is almost an exceptional machine. The colour is well-produced and fast, but it is rather expensive in terms of running costs, so you may want to use colour less frequently. Black text is strong for the level, and running costs and performance are good here. Auto duplexing would have made it better, and we suspect a few offices will miss the presence of ethernet - although Wi-Fi and good connectivity otherwise offers compensation. For the user whose needs are compatible with the Brother's strengths, this is a fantastic buy.

Desertification presents a major obstacle to development. One of the causes of desertification is poor land use. In Kenya, the objectives of the School and Dropout Services' project are to raise awareness among the community and to use natural resources in a sustainable way so as to maximize production of small agricultural tracts.
The rehabilitation project of the Thugi riverbanks in the Kandara Division began in 1981. It was conducted with local volunteers on a self-help basis. Its projected goals were to educate the population on proper land use techniques and tree planting to combat land degradation. The local community was also encouraged to use alternative energy sources and to render agricultural production more efficient while developing other income generating activities. Controls for measuring land erosion and water conservation were also established (picture 1.).
Muruka is a densely populated region situated in the southern part of Kenya, intersected by the Thugi River (See map). Over 54,000 inhabitants live in the area covering 13 km2 mainly from the Gikuyu ethnic group. In general, women and children occupy and tend the land.
Thirty-five years ago, the region was covered with bushes and natural forests where many wild fruits were available.
More than twenty years ago, Muruka benefited from abundant rains, and planting was rotated twice a year during the long rain and short rain seasons. Millet, sorghum, yams, bananas, cowpeas and other crops grew easily. Today, the area has become very dry. Most of the crops have disappeared with the exception of corn, beans and potatoes, and even these do not grow well.
Causes and effects of land degradation
As a result of uncontrolled exploitation of the forest, overgrazing
and agricultural malpractice, the land has become barren and suffers from
serious erosion.
The furrows along the length of the river were communally used for seasonal crops such as bananas, arrowroot and sugar cane. However, now the banks of the river are very dry and the soil lacks fertility. Vegetation cover is scarce in the areas surrounding the river, the superficial top layer of soil is washed away by the rains and succumbs to erosion right up to the embankments.
Land degradation is observed among the majority of land plots. The majority of inhabitants of the region are small farmers who have been using the same agricultural methods for generations. The land has been over-exploited for many years by practices that include foraging for cattle fodder and firewood. Vegetation cover can no longer develop and animals generally trample on the edge of the paths. The area of a typical plot of land is small, starting at 1,200 m2 up to 1.5 hectares for a family of 5 to 10 individuals (one hectare is equal to 10,000 m2).
With coffee plantations taking up most of the land, the small portions
remaining are mainly used for subsistence
farming and the majority of local farmers use chemical fertilizers. (Natural
fertilizers such as compost are often preferred to chemical fertlizers.
Also, the overuse of chemical fertilizers can have negative effects on the
land however, only the specific characteristics of each area as well as
the production method practised can truly determine whether the use of fertilizer,
and its concentration, is advantageous).
For the past twenty years, the rains have not been very reliable. The prevailing dry periods have created food supply problems.
The rains have been unfavourable to basic crops such as corn, potatoes and beans and food insecurity has resulted. Many local farmers are obliged to buy food to meet the needs of their family because the soil has become completely sterile.
Poverty is growing and the majority of households survive on a day-to-day basis through their work in the nearby coffee plantations, with much of the work performed by children whose schooling is interrupted before the end of primary school education.
From the 1920s up until around the 1970s, every household possessed food granaries or pantries containing provisions covering periods of difficulty. Following each harvest, the local farmers stored corn, beans or pumpkin in reserve and every household possessed a specially devised container to ripen bananas. Today these granaries have disappeared or they are used for storing tools and other family household objects.
Women perform most of the domestic chores such as gathering wood for fuel, rearing livestock, fetching water, cooking and cleaning as well as raising the children.
Also, many other agricultural tasks are assigned to women, from overseeing ploughing to harvesting and drying fruit. Women are entirely dependent on their land and spend most of their life tending it. They place all their hopes in this land. However, the income earned from this work belongs to the man of the household.
With this in mind and faced with the difficulties confronted by women, the members of the association School and Dropout Services organized a public awareness seminar to combat desertification and encourage sustainable development targeted at women. The idea of rehabilitating the Thugi riverbanks was hatched during discussions on the difficulties faced by women when fetching water. The riverbed is very deep, and it became increasingly dangerous to collect water because of the slippery banks. The women often had to walk between 1 km and 3 km on hilly ground, transporting water on their backs (picture 3.).
The School and Dropout Services Association decided to launch a pilot
project with very limited financial resources to rehabilitate the banks
of the Thugi River.
To begin with, its members had little idea of how to achieve this. Then someone proposed planting trees. But trees do not always grow to adult size, as they are often cut down young for firewood. However, planting bamboo seemed to be a good alternative, since it grows in clusters that are beautiful to look at.

5. Plantations on the shores of the river.
In the first plot, erosion has been reduced.
© School and Dropout Services
The area around the Thugi River in the 1950s–1960s used to be marshy with reeds, but the lands were cleared for agricultural purposes. During the rainy season, the river flooded the agricultural plots. In the dry season, the local farmers dug trenches so that water flowed from the river to the individual plots.
In this way, the farmers were able to grow arrowroot, sugar cane, vegetables, maize, potatoes and other crops (picture 2.).
The portion of the Thugi River in Kiranga, in the district of Maragwa, was selected for the rehabilitation of the embankments (picture 4.).
A shamba, a small plot of land used in subsistence farming, was selected in 1981 and bamboo was planted along the banks.
An agricultural counsellor from the region became interested in the project and the financing was assured by donations.
One of the difficulties consisted of finding bamboo seedlings to plant. The volunteers identified an area in Nairobi with a large quantity of bamboo, about 100 km from Muruka. Several individuals volunteered to uproot bamboo shoots with the roots, a process that is rather difficult to achieve. A few days were required to arrange the bamboo shoots for replanting. It was not certain that the bamboo would grow again once it had been transplanted. After a few weeks, the shoots, which were watered every day, started to produce new leaves and within no time a hedge began to take shape. Today, after a few years, the plants are mature and can be harvested as fence poles.
In the shamba that was chosen, bamboo was planted despite strong resistance from the farmers. They argued that the bamboo roots would ruin the earth of the shamba and that nothing else would grow there.
Today, the bamboo is mature and has thrived. The embankment mounds have become firm and stable, so that a rise in water level does not immediately flood the surrounding plots despite the depth of the riverbed.
The plot directly opposite the planted shamba, on the other side of the river, belongs to an owner who did not want to plant bamboo: instead he extended his plot right up to the riverbank. There, the riverbank has widened and even encroached on agricultural land (picture 5.). This clearly demonstrates that planting bamboo contributes to the rehabilitation of the banks of the Thugi River.
The rehabilitation of the Thugi River embankment controls the evolution
of the riverbed, which continues to eat away the riverbank.
The bamboo plantation has proven to be effective in stabilizing and reinforcing the soil and in preventing bank erosion. Thus, the land surrounding the river embankments can be cultivated without the fear of gully erosion or flooding.
The following measures were necessary for the rehabilitation of the Thugi River banks:

The teacher tells the class how planting bamboo rehabilitates the banks of the Thugi River.
Where is Kenya located?
Is your country on the same continent as Kenya?
What characterizes the climate of Kenya compared to your country? Does your region encounter the same problems
of desertification?
What are the differences?
What are the similarities?
Design the Thugi River banks with one side planted with bamboo and the other side cleared. In your drawing, show how the planted side is stabilized compared to the cleared side that is collapsing and eroding.
Explain your picture.
Is there are a river in your region? What are the banks like? Would it be useful to plant bamboo or other local species to stabilize the banks?
Devise a play showing two owners who own an agricultural plot on either side of the river. One of them has planted bamboo trees on his bank, the other has refused saying that it would interfere with crops.
It's up to you to imagine the rest!
Tick the correct answers from the following:
In Kenya, bamboo is planted on the Thugi River embankment to:
• prevent the local farmers from cultivating coffee.
• facilitate access to the river.
• act as a sand barrier.
• act as a windbreak.
• reduce noise.
• stabilize the riverbed.
• prevent flooding.

Nights and Evenings Down by the Sun Voyager

Measurements of electron and proton heating temperatures from extreme-ultraviolet light images at in petawatt laser experiments77(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2364137View Description Hide Description
A extreme-ultraviolet light imaging diagnostic measures short pulse isochoric heating by electrons and protons in petawatt laser experiments. Temperatures are deduced from the absolute intensities and comparison with modeling using a radiation hydrodynamics code.
Photoconductance and photoresponse of layer compound photodetectors in the UV-visible region77(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2369638View Description Hide Description
In this study, a number of photoconductive photodetectors made from series layered semiconductors are presented, which are suitable for the detection of energies in the range of visible to ultraviolet (UV). Each photodetector consists of a galliumchalcogenidephotoconductor and an electronic amplifier, forming an optical sensor unit covering the energy spectrum range from red to UV . Spectral photoconductances of the series layers with , 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 1 are characterized using photoconductivity measurements in the energy range of , and the results of these measurements are analyzed. Photoluminescence and piezoreflectance measurements are carried out to identify the band-edge transitions of the layered compounds. From experimental analysis the transition origins of the band-edge transitions are clarified. The functional performance of three selective sensor units of GaSe, GaS, and two-color is tested using the spectral measurements of a xenon arc lamp. The emission line features from the xenon arc lamp are clearly resolved in the detection spectra of the sensor units. The results show a good functional performance of these layer compoundphotodetectors.
High sensitivity absorption measurement of small metal clusters embedded in an argon matrix77(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2369640View Description Hide Description
We describe a new UV-Vis absorption setup designed to measure with improved sensitivity the absorption spectra of size-selected small metal clusters embedded in rare gas matrices. We aim at studying the electronic structure of clusters of different materials and their interaction with the matrix. The design, construction, and performance of the setup are discussed and demonstrated on the absorptionspectrum of in argon. The absorption spectra for the two least abundant silver cluster ions produced by our cluster source in the size range of 1–39 atoms/cluster, namely, and , are reported. A sensitivity increase of about 20 is demonstrated.
New automatic system for multipass Fabry-Pérot alignment and stabilization77(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2369641View Description Hide Description
We present a new automatic system for Brillouin scattering experiments employing a double pass Fabry-Pérot interferometer. The main characteristics of the system are a new procedure for reaching and maintaining mirror parallelism over time and the complete automation of most of the tasks involved in a successful Brillouin scattering experiment. The system makes use of a personal computer, a commercially available nanopositioning system with proportional-integral-derivative feedback control capability, and few commercial computer interfaces. The proposed mirror alignment method can be easily adapted to different multipass Fabry-Pérots and turned out to be reliable and practical in common experimental condition. The system does not need thermal stabilization of the surrounding environment and requires human intervention only when changing the free spectral range of the interferometer and/or scattering angle. The results from some tests under different experimental conditions are also reported.
Femtosecond time-resolved fluorescence up-conversion spectrometer corrected for wavelength-dependent conversion efficiency using continuous white light77(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2370428View Description Hide Description
We have developed a fluorescence up-conversion spectrometer which allows us to observe femtosecondtime-resolved fluorescencespectra directly and correctly. The spectral response of the spectrometer including wavelength-dependent up-conversion efficiency is acquired through up-conversion of a spectrally calibrated continuous white light. On the other hand, wavelength-dependent mismatch of the time origin is determined as wavelength-dependent change of the peak position of the temporal instrumental response function derived from deconvolution with the wavelength-resolved fluorescence decay curve of a sample. Comparison between the time-resolved fluorescencespectrum thus obtained for the sample and that reconstructed from the fluorescence decay curves measured at a set of wavelengths at the same delay time has been made in order to confirm the validity of the correction procedures.
Robust, high-speed, all-optical atomic magnetometer77(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2370597View Description Hide Description
A self-oscillating magnetometer based on the nonlinear magneto-optical rotation effect with separate modulated pump and unmodulated probe beams is demonstrated. This device possesses a bandwidth exceeding . Pump and probe are delivered by optical fiber, facilitating miniaturization and modularization. The magnetometer has been operated both with vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers, which are well suited to portable applications, and with conventional edge-emitting diode lasers. A sensitivity of around is achieved for a measurement time of .
Differential absorption measurements of carbon dioxide using a temperature tunable distributed feedback diode laser77(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2370746View Description Hide Description
The design and performance of an absorptionmeasurement instrument for monitoring carbon dioxide are presented. The instrument is based on a temperature tunable distributed feedback diode laser capable of tuning between 2.001 and . Within this wavelength range are 12 absorption lines for carbon dioxide and 9 absorption lines for water vapor. Initial measurements of laser transmission as a function of carbon dioxide concentration are made using a long absorption cell. The measured values compare well with the expected values using the known line strength of the carbon dioxideabsorption feature. Carbon dioxidemeasurements over a path length made outside the laboratory show the potential for carbon dioxide concentration monitoring.
SAXES, a high resolution spectrometer for resonant x-ray emission in the energy range77(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2372731View Description Hide Description
We present a long spectrometer for soft x rays to be used at a synchrotron radiation beamline for resonant x-ray emission spectroscopy and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering in the energy range. It is based on a variable line spacing spherical grating (average groove density of , ) and a charge coupled device two dimensional detector. With an x-ray spot on the sample of , the targeted resolving power is higher than 10 000 at all energies below and better than 7000 at . The off-line tests made with Al and fluorescence emissions indicate that the spectrometer can actually work at 12 000 and 17 000 resolving power at the edges of Cu and of Ti , respectively. SAXES (superadvanced x-ray emission spectrometer) is mounted on a rotating platform allowing to vary the scattering angle from 25° to 130°. The spectrometer will be operational at the ADRESS (advanced resonant spectroscopies) beamline of the Swiss Light Source from 2007.
Microcontroller-based wavemeter using compression locking of an internal mirror reference laser77(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2370749View Description Hide Description
We show that a highly reliable and compact wavemeter incorporating a reference laser and traveling Michelson interferometer can be controlled, and the unknown wavelength determined, using readily programmable microcontroller circuits. These chips, powered by a supply, each replace a network of many electronic components and enable equipment to be built and debugged in a very short time, to occupy a very small footprint and to be easily modified. With this wavemeter we demonstrate the ease with which programmable microcontrollers can play an important role in a physics research laboratory. We also present, for the first time, the stabilization of an internal mirror HeNe reference laser through direct compression of the glass tube, resulting in stable, mode power balanced operation for a period of more than . This novel stabilization scheme enables a much higher bandwidth and shorter settling time of the servo system than previous heater-based approaches by overcoming technical problems associated with the thermal conductivity of the heater/laser system. The accuracy of the wavemeter has been confirmed by measuring the wavelength of a tunable diode laser as it was scanned across the D1 and D2 lines of , detected through optogalvanic spectroscopy.
Characterization of multipoint diffraction strain and tilt sensor based on moiré interferometer and multichannel imaging position-sensitive detector77(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2372732View Description Hide Description
A multipoint diffraction strain and tilt sensor using a multichannel imagingposition-sensitive detector has been developed and characterized, with the novel feature of simultaneous measurement of strain and tilt at a large array of points. Unlike conventional interferometry based systems, this new whole-field measurement system uses principles of diffraction to directly measure strain at the desired points. The system utilizes a moiréinterferometer for the generation of two coherent and symmetric beams, which illuminate a high-frequency diffraction grating, bonded on the surface of the sample under test. The core of the system is a charge coupled device camera fitted with an array of microlenses, which samples the diffracted beam into an array of beamlets. The camera with lens array, which is being used as array-type multichannel position-sensitive detectors, senses the shift of the individual microspots. The deviation is then processed and the normal and shear strains are calculated at that spot along with rigid-body tilt. The combined results are graphically shown to the user as two-dimensional strain and tilt maps. Simultaneous strain measurement at more than 1300 points has been successfully obtained with the spatial resolution of better than . This novel technique has many useful features compared to other whole-field optical strain measurement techniques and is expected to be very valuable in experimental mechanics of microsystems and devices.
New experimental device for infrared spectral directional emissivity measurements in a controlled environment77(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2393157View Description Hide Description
A new experimental device for infrared spectral directional emissivitymeasurements in a controlled atmosphere is presented. The sample holder, which permits to measurespectral directional emissivity up to , is placed inside a stainless steel sample chamber that can be evacuated or filled with different gases. The signal detection is carried out by means of a Fourier transforminfrared spectrometer. The experimental results focus on the capability of the device to perform emissivitymeasurements as a function of temperature, emission angle, and in situ surface state evolution. A careful study of the sample temperature homogeneity and the measurement method has been done, including the background radiation, the apparatus response function, and temperature differences between the sample and the blackbody radiator. As a consequence, a compact expression for the sample emissivity that generalizes those previously obtained for the direct radiometric measurement method is found. The error assessment shows that the main contribution to the emissivity uncertainty is related to the sample temperature. The overall uncertainty at intermediate temperature is estimated to be around 3% at short wavelengths. Emissivitymeasurements of Armco iron were used in order to check the accuracy of the experimental device. The experimental results show an excellent fit with direct emissivity data accessible in the literature, as well as with the theoretical emissivity obtained from the Hagen-Rubens relation.

LeBron James may believe that he is the easiest target in sports, but Miami Heat point guard Mario Chalmers isn't too far behind his teammate in that category.
Chalmers has had to deal with his teammates yelling at him since the Big Three came together in 2010. He may not have the resume that some of his teammates do, but he certainly receives more criticism than he deserves.
For example, look at what happened after Game 3 of the 2014 NBA Finals. Miami lost to the San Antonio Spurs by 19 points, so the Internet was all over the Heat. Given his performance, Chalmers became an easy target.
Chalmers missed all five of his shots from the floor in Game 3 and finished with two points, four assists and three turnovers. His performance led to the "#PGsBetterThanChalmers" Twitter hashtag.

Oglesby will miss rest of UW's season
Offensive tackle has been bothered by knee injuries
Madison — The season is over for Wisconsin reserve offensive tackle Josh Oglesby, a redshirt junior from St. Francis High School who has been hampered by knee problems.
UW coach Bret Bielema announced that bit of bad news Monday during a weekly radio appearance but reiterated that everyone who was either held out Saturday against Iowa or injured during the 31-30 victory should be available when UW returns to action Nov. 6 at Purdue.
UW (7-1, 3-1 Big Ten Conference) has a bye this week.
"We're going to take some time this week to get healthy," Bielema said.
Junior wide receiver Nick Toon (thigh) and redshirt freshman defensive tackle Jordan Kohout (ankle) did not play against the Hawkeyes.
Senior tight end Lance Kendricks (ankle) left late in the first quarter, and freshman tailback James White (knee) left early in the second quarter.
Redshirt sophomore Peter Konz (ankle) played the first half. Reserve defensive end David Gilbert and reserve defensive tackle Beau Allen both suffered unspecified injuries but returned.
Oglesby played in five games this season, including against Ohio State in Week 7. He also took a voluntary redshirt year as a freshman in 2007. Thus, a medical waiver seems out of the question, and he should have one year of eligibility remaining when he returns in 2011.
"You certainly feel sick for Josh," offensive coordinator Paul Chryst said Monday, "any guy that loses an opportunity to play. That's what all this is about is you've got a small window to play.
"And when you lose that opportunity you feel bad for them. But you live in a world where you've just got to keep moving forward."
Oglesby, who started 10 games at right tackle last year, opened the season as the starter at that position. He tweaked his left knee in the opener at Nevada-Las Vegas, though, and then suffered a more serious injury in the same knee in Week 2 against San Jose State.
He was replaced by redshirt sophomore Ricky Wagner and sat out the next two games. Wagner remained the starter after Oglesby was cleared to play for the Big Ten opener Oct. 2 at Michigan State.
Oglesby appeared in UW's first three Big Ten games, mostly on special teams, and acknowledged the knee was still bothering him.
"I'm just trying to get it pain-free," he said before UW's game against then-No. 1 Ohio State on Oct. 16. "Take it day by day and try to move forward with it."
Oglesby played on special teams against the Buckeyes but did not make the trip to Iowa.
UW's No. 1 line - featuring Gabe Carimi at left tackle, John Moffitt at left guard, Konz at center, Kevin Zeitler at right guard and Wagner at right tackle - is performing at a high level.
Senior Bill Nagy, who started the first four games at right guard before giving way to Zeitler, also has been invaluable. He has excelled as an extra tight end and played the entire second half at center against Iowa.
UW's No. 3 tackle is Casey Dehn, a redshirt freshman from Owatonna, Minn. The No. 4 tackle is Robert Burge, a redshirt sophomore walk-on from Holmen. Dehn has been working on the left side and Burge on the right side.
"I have liked that group and like the way they go about it," Chryst said. "We'll just keep plugging away."
Watt, Nortman honored: Junior defensive end J.J. Watt and junior punter Brad Nortman were honored Monday by the Big Ten for their contributions in UW's victory over Iowa.
Watt was named the co-defensive player of the week and Nortman the co-special teams player of the week.
Watt recorded five tackles, including one sack and two total tackles for loss, and blocked an extra-point attempt.
Nortman gained 17 yards for a first down on a fake punt in the final quarter to spark UW's winning touchdown drive. Nortman also had punts of 54 and 42 yards.
