- Theoretical Methods and Algorithms
Simulation algorithms for multidimensional nonlinear response of classical many-body systems119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1616911View Description Hide Description
The numerical effort and convergence of equilibrium and nonequilibrium (finite field) techniques for simulating the response of classical systems to a sequence of n short pulses are examined. The former is recast in terms of n point correlation functions and order stability matrices which contain higher order generalized Lyapunov exponents, whereas the latter involves sums over perturbed trajectories. The two methods are tested for a highly chaotic system: The Lorentz gas, and for the less chaotic quartic oscillator.
Bonding in the homologous series CsAu, CsAg, and CsCu studied at the 4-component density functional theory and coupled cluster levels119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615953View Description Hide Description
We have studied the effect of relativity, electron correlation and the lanthanide contraction on the spectroscopic constants, dissociation energies and dipole moments of the homologous series CsAu, CsAg, and CsCu. We observe a relativistic strengthening of the bond in all cases, particularly for CsAu, but all three compounds are predicted to exist on both the relativistic and nonrelativistic levels of theory with bond strengths more than 1 eV. The effect of the lanthanide contraction on the bonding in CsAu has been studied using a pseudoatom model of the Au atom and is shown to contribute to the strength and polarity of the bond, albeit to a lesser degree than relativity. We present a new estimate of the experimentally derived value of the CsAu dissociation energy using spectroscopic constants calculated at the coupled cluster CCSD(T) level. The new value (2.53 eV) is slightly lower than the previous estimate by Busse and Weil (2.58 eV) and is in excellent agreement with the corresponding CCSD(T) value. We have employed 4-component density functional theory at the B3LYP level, and the spectroscopic constants calculated with this method are in good agreement with coupled cluster results. For dipole moments the B3LYP values appear on the other hand to be too low and this requires further investigation.
Direct configuration interaction and multiconfigurational self-consistent-field method for multiple active spaces with variable occupations. I. Method119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615954View Description Hide Description
In order to reduce the number of ineffective configurations in a priori generated configuration spaces, a direct configuration interaction method has been developed which limits the electron occupations of orbital groups making up a total active space. A wave function is specified by first partitioning an active space into an unrestricted number of orbital groups and second by providing limiting values, in the form of minima and maxima, for the electron occupancies of each group. The configuration interaction problem corresponding to all possible determinants satisfying these conditions is solved in a fully direct manner by the use of Slater–Condon expressions in conjunction with single and double replacements. This configuration interaction approach, termed occupation restricted multiple active space-configuration interaction, has also been linked with orbital optimization programs to produce the occupation restricted multiple active space-self consistent field method.
Direct configuration interaction and multiconfigurational self-consistent-field method for multiple active spaces with variable occupations. II. Application to oxoMn(salen) and119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615955View Description Hide Description
In a previous paper, a new direct configuration interaction method for multiple active spaces with variable occupations was described. The present article illustrates how this method may be applied to the oxoMn(salen) complex and the molecule. In the first application it is shown how complete-active-space self-consistent-field wave functions of the oxoMn(salen) system may be approximated by a drastically reduced number of configurations with negligible loss of accuracy in terms of energetics. In the second application, to it is demonstrated how the fully optimized reaction space wave function may be approximated and also how the recovery of dynamic correlation effects may be achieved. The best predictions of the structure ∠(ONO)=134.4°) and binding energy are both in very good agreement with experiment ∠(ONO)=134.46°, .
Geometry optimization in quantum Monte Carlo with solution mapping: Application to formaldehyde119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1614212View Description Hide Description
The solution mapping methodology is presented as a method of geometryoptimization of molecules in the quantum Monte Carlo method. Applied to formaldehyde as a test system, this approach is found to yield optimized bond lengths and bond angle in the diffusionMonte Carlo method that lie within experimental error. The variational Monte Carlo optimized geometry also lies within experimental error, with the exception of the CH bond length, which is slightly underestimated. Additionally, the resulting quadratic representation of the potential energy surface in the region of the minimum is used to calculate three of the force constants and harmonic frequencies.
Relations among several nuclear and electronic density functional reactivity indexes119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615763View Description Hide Description
An expansion of the energy functional in terms of the total number of electrons and the normal coordinates within the canonical ensemble is presented. A comparison of this expansion with the expansion of the energy in terms of the total number of electrons and the external potential leads to new relations among common density functional reactivity descriptors. The formulas obtained provide explicit links between important quantities related to the chemical reactivity of a system. In particular, the relation between the nuclear and the electronic Fukui functions is recovered. The connection between the derivatives of the electronic energy and the nuclear repulsion energy with respect to the external potential offers a proof for the "Quantum Chemical le Chatelier Principle." Finally, the nuclear linear response function is defined and the relation of this function with the electronic linear response function is given.
Fisher information in density functional theory119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615765View Description Hide Description
The Euler equation of the density functional theory is derived from the principle of minimum Fisher information. Both time-independent and time-dependent cases are analyzed. It is shown that Fisher information is a measure of the quality of the approximate density.
An improved Monte Carlo method for direct calculation of the density of states119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615966View Description Hide Description
We present an efficient Monte Carlo algorithm for determining the density of states which is based on the statistics of transition probabilities between states. By measuring the infinite temperature transition probabilities—that is, the probabilities associated with move proposal only—we are able to extract excellent estimates of the density of states. When this estimator is used in conjunction with a Wang–Landau sampling scheme [F. Wang and D. P. Landau, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 2050 (2001)], we quickly achieve uniform sampling of macrostates (e.g., energies) and systematically refine the calculated density of states. This approach requires only potential energy evaluations, continues to improve the statistical quality of its results as the simulation time is extended, and is applicable to both lattice and continuum systems. We test the algorithm on the Lennard-Jones liquid and demonstrate good statistical convergence properties.
Coarse-grained stochastic processes and kinetic Monte Carlo simulators for the diffusion of interacting particles119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1616513View Description Hide Description
We derive a hierarchy of successively coarse-grained stochastic processes and associated coarse-grained Monte Carlo (CGMC) algorithms directly from the microscopic processes as approximations in larger length scales for the case of diffusion of interacting particles on a lattice. This hierarchy of models spans length scales between microscopic and mesoscopic, satisfies a detailed balance, and gives self-consistent fluctuation mechanisms whose noise is asymptotically identical to the microscopic MC. Rigorous, detailed asymptotics justify and clarify these connections. Gradient continuous time microscopic MC and CGMC simulations are compared under far from equilibrium conditions to illustrate the validity of our theory and delineate the errors obtained by rigorous asymptotics. Information theory estimates are employed for the first time to provide rigorous error estimates between the solutions of microscopic MC and CGMC, describing the loss of information during the coarse-graining process. Simulations under periodic boundary conditions are used to verify the information theory error estimates. It is shown that coarse-graining in space leads also to coarse-graining in time by where q is the level of coarse-graining, and overcomes in part the hydrodynamic slowdown. Operation counting and CGMC simulations demonstrate significant CPU savings in continuous time MC simulations that vary from for short potentials to for long potentials. Finally, connections of the new coarse-grained stochastic processes to stochastic mesoscopic and Cahn–Hilliard–Cook models are made.
A spectroscopy oriented configuration interaction procedure119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615956View Description Hide Description
A multireference configuration interaction (MR-CI) based method (Spectroscopy ORiented CI, SORCI) is proposed to calculate energy differences between several electronic states of possibly different multiplicity and which can be extended to fairly large molecules. It combines several well-known concepts in order to achieve efficiency, balance, generality, stability and accuracy: (a) the use of any kind of (preferably small) reference space and any kind of initial self-consistent field treatment, (b) the use of average approximate natural orbitals (AANOs) for the states of interest, (c) a variational treatment of the strongly interacting many electron states combined with second order multireference Møller–Plesset perturbation theory for the much larger weakly interacting remainder, (d) the concept of difference-dedicated CI developed and extensively used by Malrieu and co-workers that avoids contributions which are expected to cancel in energy differences, (e) the use of the resolution-of-the identity approximation to avoid exceedingly large integral files. The method is completely devoid of intruder state problems and makes extensive use of truncation techniques in order to achieve computational efficiency. Currently three cutoffs are introduced that control the size of the reference space, the size of the variational treatment and the size of the AANO basis. Test calculations show that the method is stable against variations of these parameters over a wide range. A study of prototypical molecules ranging in size between diatomics and free-base porphin indicates that the method yields accurate results even with moderate basis sets and CI dimensions that typically do not exceed configuration state functions. Transition energies are typically predicted within 0.1–0.3 eV from the experimental values.

Theoretical study of the structure of lithium clusters119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615237View Description Hide Description
Lithium clusters to 20) were studied by Kohn–Sham theory with local spin density and gradient-corrected energy functionals. We used a Tabu Search algorithm for structure optimization. The lowest energy isomers that we found fall in two categories: (i) the pentagonal bipyramid, icosahedron, and related structures which are typical of most pair potentials, and (ii) structures containing centered square antiprisms which are reminiscent of the bulk bcc structure and have two characteristic peaks in the pair distribution function, one near 2.60 Å and the other near 3.05 Å. Calculated isomer energies and vibrational frequencies suggest that, at room temperature, many cluster sizes should show liquidlike behavior or coexistence of multiple isomers. The number of unpaired electrons "M" as a function of cluster size "n" generally alternates between 0 (singlet) and 1 (doublet), but some cluster sizes display anomalous spin magnetic moments they are and The and clusters are particularly stable: they each have a very compact structure and a shape consistent with the ellipsoidal jellium model.
Comparison of quantum and mixed quantum–classical semirigid vibrating rotor target studies for isotopic reactions119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615514View Description Hide Description
We present mixed quantum–classical (QC) study of reaction with D, and T using the semirigid vibrating rotor target (SVRT) model to investigate the mass effect of isotopereactions by comparing with the results from quantum SVRT calculations. In this mixed quantum–classical (QC-SVRT) approach, the relative translational motion between the atom and the molecule is treated by classical mechanics while the rest of the coordinates are treated quantum mechanically. The reaction probabilities and rate constants of three isotopic reactions are calculated on the potential energy surface of Jordan and Gilbert. Our study shows that the mixed QC-SVRT reaction probabilities and rate constants from the ground vibrational state of the reagent become progressively more accurate as the mass of the projectile is increased. This phenomenon is related to the diminishing role of the zero-point energy of the projectile as the reduced translational mass is increased. Our study also finds that the QC-SVRT results from vibrationally excited reagent are in substantial deviations from the quantum SVRT results which is due to the failure of the single configuration nature of the mixed quantum–classical approach.
Effect of collisions on one-color polarization spectroscopy of OH119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615515View Description Hide Description
The effect of collisions on the magnitude of polarization spectroscopy (PS) signals from the OH radical on the (0,0) band has been studied. OH was produced by the 266-nm photolysis of and detected by one-color degenerate PS, using ≈5-ns pulses from a Nd:YAG pumped dye laser. Spectra with both circular and linear pump polarizations are reported, together with signal dependence on OH number density and pump pulse fluence. The relative line intensities in the spectra and measured square dependence on OH number density are consistent with a description of PS as a variant of four-wave mixing spectroscopy. The pump pulse fluence dependence is fitted well by literature saturation curves. The collisional dependence of the PS signal was investigated by adding increasing pressures of He, Ar, or collider gases for fixed overlapping pump and probe pulses. The principal finding is the very rapid loss of the PS signal with increasing collider pressure. The resulting phenomenological rate constants are in the range We discuss these rate constants with reference to the literature rotational energy transfer and dephasing rate constants. We propose that the very large observed values may be explained by the effect of elastic velocity changing collisions.
Statistical evaporation of rotating clusters. II. Angular momentum distribution119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615518View Description Hide Description
The change in the angular momentum of an atomic cluster following evaporation is investigated using rigorous phase space theory (PST) and molecular dynamics simulations, with an aim at the possible rotational cooling and heating effects. Influences of the shape of the interaction potential, anharmonicity of the vibrational density of states (DOS), and the initial distribution of excitation energies are systematically studied in the example of the Lennard-Jones cluster For this system, the predictions of PST are in quantitative agreement with the results of the simulations, provided the correct forms for the vibrational density of states and the interaction potential are used. The harmonic approximation to the DOS is used to obtain explicit forms for the angular momentum distribution in larger clusters. These are seen to undergo preferential cooling when thermally excited and preferential heating when subject to a strong vibrational excitation.
Velocity map imaging of the photodissociation of in the band119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615523View Description Hide Description
The photodissociation dynamics of has been investigated within the band by means of velocity map ion imaging. The cation is prepared by resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization of via the band, and the ground-state population in the ion is unambiguously characterized by using photoelectron spectroscopy.Photodissociation of the state-selected ion results in fragmentation to both and The translational energy distribution derived from the two-dimensional images of the fragments shows vibrational progressions that provide detailed information on the channeling of the parent internal energy into the dissociation process. The translational energy distribution of the fragment shows a one-to-one dependence on the excitation energy, which is typical of a single-photon dissociation process. The observation of a repeated pattern of rings in the images with an interval of ∼800 cm−1 indicates that the umbrella mode of the fragment is excited upon dissociation. The low-kinetic-energy release observed in this channel indicates that substantial energy is deposited into the internal degrees of freedom of the fragment and suggests that the dissociation is controlled by the Franck–Condon factors between the parent ion and fragments. The translational energy distribution of the fragment is independent of the excitation wavelength and includes a feature peaking at near-zero kinetic energy. Plausible mechanisms for the and dissociation channels are discussed in terms of the observed kinetic energy and anisotropy distributions derived from the two-dimensional ion images.
Conformationally induced vibronic transitions in spectra of n-propylbenzene119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615751View Description Hide Description
Dispersed fluorescence spectra of two conformational isomers of n-propylbenzene have been measured in a supersonic free jet expansion. The results show that the vibronic features in emission from the zero-point levels in two conformers are significantly different, and most notably, the transitions due to ring-chain torsional mode are active only in the spectra of the gauche conformer. Relative stability of the conformers in the ground state has been reinvestigated by the ab initio quantum chemistry method at the and MP2/ccpVTZ levels of theory. In contrast to earlier reports, the present theoretical studies predict that the gauche conformer is ∼2.5 kJ/mol more stable than the trans. The effects of propyl substitution on phenyl ring vibrational modes have been analyzed by comparing the calculated (ab initio, DFT/B3LYP/6-31G* *) displacements of ring atoms for different normal modes with those of the vibrational modes of unsubstituted benzene. The implications of spectral dissimilarity of the conformers on their excited state lifetimes [Borst et al., J. Chem. Phys. 116, 7057 (2002)] have been discussed.
Infrared laser spectroscopy of CCO radical in the region of the C–C stretching fundamental119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615752View Description Hide Description
The C–C stretching fundamental and the difference band of the CCO radical have been measured in the gas phase using a tunable infrared diode laserspectrometer. The CCO radical was produced using a flowing mixture of carbon suboxide and helium subjected to a hollow-cathode discharge. The spectral region between was probed. Fifty-five and fifty-three rovibrational transitions were measured in the and bands, respectively. The analyses of these bands yielded spectroscopic constants for (001) and (002) vibrational states. The band origins for and were determined to be 1066.82407(54) and respectively. To check the consistency of the data in this work and those in the C–O stretching region, several lines from the band were also recorded. These lines were observed at their predicted frequency.
The pure rotational spectrum of transition metal fluorides revisited119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615753View Description Hide Description
The pure rotational spectrum of TiF in its ground state has been measured using millimeter/sub-millimeter wave direct absorption techniques in the range 140–530 GHz. In ten out of the twelve rotational transitions recorded, all four spin–orbit components were observed, confirming the ground state assignment. Additional small splittings were resolved in several of the spin components in lower J transitions, which appear to arise from magnetic hyperfine interactions of the nucleus. In contrast, no evidence for Λ-doubling was seen in the data. The rotational transitions of TiF were analyzed using a case (a) Hamiltonian, resulting in the determination of rotational and fine structure constants, as well as hyperfine parameters for the fluorine nucleus. The data were readily fit in a case (a) basis, indicating strong first order spin–orbit coupling and minimal second-order effects, as also evidenced by the small value of λ, the spin–spin parameter. Moreover, only one higher order term, η, the spin–orbit/spin–spin interaction term, was needed in the analysis, again suggesting limited perturbations in the ground state. The relative values of the a, b, and chyperfine constants indicate that the three unpaired electrons in this radical lie in orbitals primarily located on the titanium atom and support the molecular orbital picture of TiF with a single electron configuration. The bond length of TiF (1.8342 Å) is significantly longer than that of TiO, suggesting that there are differences in the bonding between transition metal fluorides and oxides.
Ab initio study of the reaction: Ground and excited potential energy surfaces119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615766View Description Hide Description
The two potential energy surfaces and PESs) adiabatically correlating the reactants and products asymptotes of the title reaction were studied by means of the CASSCF and CASPT2 ab initio methods. The minimum energy path determined for the ground PES evolved through the barrierless insertion of the atom into a C–H bond. The products result from the dissociation of the methanol intermediate formed. Reactivity on the excited PES was found to proceed via an abstraction pathway. The energy barrier involved is low enough to expect the PES to play a non-negligible role in the title reaction, even at the usual conditions attained in the experiments. The crossing between the and PESs was also investigated, the latter surface correlating with the excited product.
Influence of the aliphatic chain on the (hydrogen-bonded) p-aminobenzonitrile complexes with methanol and ethanol119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615239View Description Hide Description
The 4-aminobenzonitrile (ABN) molecule has two active sites amenable to hydrogen bonding to methanol (MeOH) and ethanol (EtOH): the amino, and the cyano, –CN, groups. Two-color resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy and hole burning spectroscopy in addition to the ionization energies provides sound evidence of the occurrence of two isomers in the complex and one single isomer for the complex. Combining the outcomes from the ABN/methanol and ABN/ethanol experiments with ab initio computations at reliable theory levels one identifies the preferred solvation sites and the optimized geometries. A discussion of the role of the aliphatic chains on the geometry of the isomers and other properties is presented.

So the kid with the golden arm will wait another year for the gold. Andrew Luck is going to play again for Stanford. A reassuring tale when compared to so many others, but let us not get too deep into morality. His values are admirable. As is his financial situation.
Everyone's negotiable, said Muhammad Ali a long while ago. Everyone, however, is not in the same negotiating position.
Luck has been blessed with talent and brains. He also has been blessed with a family that prizes education and, no less significantly, has been able to provide for his needs along the way.
Virtually every time a star athlete leaves school early to join the NFL or NBA, there's a great deal of distress, usually from alumni. Some of the kids admittedly are enrolled only to get to the pros, and the sooner they get out of the classrooms, the better.
Others are caught between the idealism of learning Voltaire and the realism of learning how to survive on minimal income.
"Call him old-school,'' Oliver Luck said of his son.
Oliver is the athletic director at his alma mater, West Virginia, a former NFL quarterback who taught his children well.
"He comes from a faction of people,'' said Oliver Luck, "who believe you go to college to pursue your degree."
Mainly because most need that degree for employment, not that it doesn't look impressive on an office or living room wall. But as we know, Bill Gates never received his degree. Nor did Tiger Woods, from Luck's school, Stanford. Those two, if in ridiculously diverse fields, have been exceptionally successful.
Most of us don't appreciate the joys of college until we've left. We can't wait to get away. And then we can't wait to get back, thinking about the good times and not the surprise exams or the all-nighters.
If Luck deserves our admiration for sticking around, so does Alterraun Verner, who a few days after the end of his rookie season with the Tennessee Titans is back in classes at UCLA.
Oliver Luck told the New York Times about those who called talk shows to knock his son's decision, "It's a Rorschach test for people's value systems.'' Except in this case, instead of ink blots they are looking at dollar signs.
Which is what the individual who seemingly will become Luck's ex-coach, Jim Harbaugh, is seeing these days, if not figuratively being blinded by them. Turn a 1-11 team into a 12-1 team at an institution where the emphasis is on grade-point average and not yards-per-play average, and you're considered a football genius.
Harbaugh, according to those informed sources who pop up behind every rumor, has been offered $5 million per from the San Francisco 49ers, who train about eight miles south of Stanford; $7 million per from the Miami Dolphins, and God knows what from the Denver Broncos, now under the guidance of a Stanford grad named John Elway.
Harbaugh never will be more in demand. Luck, second in this season's Heisman Trophy balloting to Auburn's Cam Newton, will be in no less demand a year from now.
Members of the "he's making a terrible mistake'' crowd point out that Luck could be injured playing college ball next season, a risk exaggerated to $50 million. But there are insurance policies to cover such risks, and Sam Bradford, who stayed the 2009 season at Oklahoma only to be hurt in the opening game, still was the first selection in the 2010 draft by St. Louis. A good choice he was, nearly getting the Rams into the playoffs.
"There's a risk in everything you do,'' said Oliver Luck, who has been there and done that, in sports, business and education.
Andrew Luck is remarkably unostentatious for a young man who understands both his worth and his skill. At Stanford's weekly media sessions during the season, he exhibited not one iota of arrogance.
Maybe it's the milieu. Tiger said one of the delights of attending Stanford was that with so many creative and gifted students, he was practically ignored.
"Everybody is special here,'' he said back in the mid-1990s. "I'm just another person."
Luck is not just another quarterback. Yet like Tiger, Michelle Wie or other Stanford undergrads headed for fame, he is able to be a normal college kid when he retreats to campus.
"I am committed to earning my degree in architectural design from Stanford University,'' was the cryptic one-sentence statement Luck provided about not entering the draft, "and am on track to accomplish this at the completion of the spring quarter of 2012."
Nothing about football or money.
"I don't want to sound cocky or pretentious,'' Andrew Luck, who never does, explained back in December. "I think it's just you trust the decision you make is the right one."
As a man once sang, you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself.

Soda tax brings needed cash to gardening program
The Berkeley Unified School District's beleaguered cooking and gardening program will see a welcome injection of funds as a result of revenues accrued from Measure D, the so-called soda tax, approved by city residents last November.
On Thursday, June 4, a panel appointed to allocate taxes collected from the sugar-sweetened beverage tax recommended $250,000 be advanced to the cooking and gardening program.
It was announced May 18 that the soda tax had raised $116,000 in its first month of operation.
The Berkeley City Council is set to vote to approve the panel's recommendation by June 30, while the Berkeley School Board is slated to finalize its budget June 10 with the knowledge that the funding is essentially secured. … Continue reading »
Berkeley's Ecology Center gets $3.7 million grant
The federal government awarded one of its first Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive grants to the Ecology Center on Wednesday, which will allow the Berkeley group to greatly expand its program to get fresh fruits and vegetables to people who use food stamps.
The Ecology Center got a $3.7 million, two-year grant, one of more than $31.5 million in grants handed out nationally to assist people in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Mandela Marketplace, in Oakland was the other local recipient. It received$422,500.
"Our goal is to increase the health of Californians by increasing access to fresh fruits and vegetables and to provide additional, sustainable economic development for these pioneering farmers who are at our farmers markets," said Martin Bourque, the executive director of the 45-year-old Ecology Center. … Continue reading »

Field trip highlights programs in food-forward Berkeley
Tomorrow, Bay Area Green Tours co-hosts a food field trip spotlighting some of the best of Berkeley's alternative food systems. It's part of the 15th Annual Community Food Security Coalition Conference, which runs today through Tuesday in Oakland. The Community Food Security Coalition is a national nonprofit dedicated to creating a food movement that is healthy, sustainable, and just.
The national conference draws sustainable food advocates, anti-hunger experts, and food policy wonks from around the country. The Food Sovereignty tour, which is open to the public (though now sold out), introduces participants to community food gardens, farmers' markets, school food, and alternative food businesses in this town, which, of course, is well known for its food-forward agenda. … Continue reading »
Food Day: Growing a movement around what we eat
Can Food Day, which is on October 24th, do for the growing food movement what Earth Day did for the nascent environmental movement back in 1970?
The organizers, the Center for Science in the Public Interest in D.C., certainly hope so. A national, grassroots campaign, Food Day is designed to celebrate what we eat while drawing our attention to the need to overhaul this country's food system from farm to fork. In this way it is similar to Earth Day which sparked widespread interest in the fragile nature of our planet.
Events planned for Monday, including in Berkeley and around the Bay Area, will highlight the good, bad, and ugly of the way we consume food in this country.
Simply put, how we grow, transport, process, market, and eat is not sustainable for the environment or our health, said Michael F. Jacobson, executive director of CSPI and the creator of Food Day in a recent piece for The Atlantic. Dietary diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart attacks are rising at alarming rates. Industrially raised meat sucks up energy, pollutes the land and water, and is cruel to beast and worker alike.
Even in places like Berkeley where local, seasonal, organic, sustainable, and fresh food is available in abundance, too many people lack access to good grub and/or go hungry or malnourished. … Continue reading »

How long does a DUI stay on your record?
If an individual is convicted of DUI law violation, he/she may be wondering how long it stays on one's personal record. First of all, DUI is a serious violation of traffic laws with serious consequences. The DUI laws are becoming stricter each year. DUI Laws are constantly revised in USA every year due to a rapid increase in the rate of accidents caused due to violation of DUI laws in USA. But common people are not aware of these changes in DUI laws. Most of the people in US have a misconception regarding number of years a DUI stays on the record of an individual. This is because these persons are misinformed about the topic. DUI is treated as a criminal offense in all fifty states in US. Criminal convicts must be made public and therefore can be accessed by employers, educational institutions, law enforcement agencies, lenders, landlords and anyone else who wants to perform a background check of the individual for DUI conviction.
Many people believe that a DUI conviction stays on an individual's record like ten years and then falls off after a certain period of time. However, that's not the case. Since DUI conviction is a criminal conviction, it remains on one's record life long. Besides, due to the change in the DUI law a year back, now the states goes back as far as ten years to use prior DUI's for enhancing your case penalties. Even though, one's driving under influence doesn't remain away from one's criminal record, one can still request the court to remove it.
Once an individual has been convicted of a DUI, you may dread having to show your DUI record to anyone who requests your driving record. It can make life difficult when you're applying for a job that requires a driving record check or when you're trying to get a new car insurance policy.
A DUI Can stay on one's record indefinitely
While many people believe that a DUI record will automatically fall off of a driving record after a specific amount of time, that's simply not true. Many states have laws that will keep a DUI record on your driving record for a specific number of years. However, you may have a DUI record remain on your driving record indefinitely. If you were convicted of a DUI a few years ago it is important to check your driving record to see if your DUI record is still showing up on your driving record.
Getting Your DUI Record Expunged
You may be able to have a DUI record expunged from your driving record depending on the state laws where you live. In order to do remove a DUI record, you'll need to speak with the Department of Motor Vehicles where you live to find out how to remove the DUI record. If you're having trouble navigating the system, you may want to hire an attorney to help clean up your DUI record. An experienced DUI attorney will know how best to help you achieve your goal of a clean driving record free from DUI records.
Playing the waiting Game
In some cases, your DUI record will be less harmful for you as years go by. For example, many employers will request a three-year driving record. If your DUI record falls before the three-year period, your potential employer won't see it. However, some employers will ask for longer windows of time that will cause your DUI record to be revealed.
Checking Your Driving Record
If you're not sure what your driving record says about your DUI record, you should order a copy of your driving record and find out. One must check with one's local department of motor vehicles to find out how to order one's driving record or one can order a copy of one's driving record there. It will list any traffic violations, including an individual's DUI record.
In most cases you can go to the DMV, fill out a short form, show proof of your identification, and receive your driving record on the same day. Ordering a driving record would also usually cost a small fee - but it's worth being able to see an individual's DUI record information.
When one actually sees a DUI record, one can make a more informed decision about how to proceed. One may find that he/she only needs to do a small amount of paperwork to have his/her DUI record cleared. In other cases one may have to seek legal advice to get the DUI record off of his/her driving record.
Thus each and every individual who is staying in USA must know as to how long does a DUI stay on your record in Each and every state of USA.

Cultural Adjustment
Every individual who travels or lives abroad for a short or extended period of time experiences culture shock on some level. Some experience more severe symptoms of culture shock while others barely notice it at all. Either way, just know that experiencing culture shock is completely normal. The most important part when experiencing culture shock is how you handle it. While studying abroad, you will experience so many new things, but how you internalize and react to transitions, changes, and obstacles can impact your overall experience.
Below is summary of the phases of culture shock, what triggers culture shock, symptoms, and how to manage it. You may experience many, very few, or no symptoms of culture shock. One can experience symptoms of culture shock all at once or only in certain situations. The OIP staff at NCC and the international staff at your host institution is here for you should you need support dealing with your culture shock. Always keep an eye on your friends if you see them withdrawing from friends/social situations, academics, and experiences abroad. Should you see that one of your friends is going through a tough time, don't hesitate to contact Kimberly Larsson (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Whitney Ewing (firstname.lastname@example.com) or, if you feel comfortable, approach your friend and express your concerns.
Culture shock should not severely impact your experience abroad, it is merely evidence and a consequence of all the transitions you will experience going abroad.
Culture Shock Defined
Culture shock is a term used to describe some of the more pronounced reactions to spending an extended period of time in a culture very different from your own. Culture shock can be characterized by periods of frustration, adjustment, and even depression. The worst homesickness often occurs two to three months after you leave home, frequently arriving just in time for the holidays. Because you will probably write or contact your home family and friends during moments of low morale, and not when you're busy and things are going well, they may understand your situation to be more negative than it actually is.
Phases of Culture Shock
Honeymoon Phase
Adjustment to a new culture tends to occur in stages. Initially, there is a honeymoon phase. You are in a new country and everything is exhilarating and exciting. You are probably involved in a flurry of orientation and getting settled, and getting hosted around the town or city. The sights, sounds and tastes are all a new adventure. You will probably notice more similarities than differences between your new city and the U.S. This phase usually lasts from a few days to a few weeks.
Irritability and Hostility
After the first couple of weeks, the initial excitement might pass and you may begin to confront the deeper differenes in your new city and country. You may be tired of the food or struggling with the language. Maybe the university seems incomprehensible and bureaucratic. You may be tired of the long commutes whenever going somewhere. Maybe everything is much more expensive than you originally anticipated. Or perhaps things are less expensive but not of the quality or variety that is customary at home. The initial enthusiasm has drifted away and you have entered the stage of irritability and hostility. Worse, you may feel like you don't really belong where you are.
Gradual Adjustment
Be patient. Almost always, the initial struggles will disappear with time and you will experience a stage of gradual adjustment. You will get your sense of humor back. Things that seemed strange or just inconvenient will gradually become familiar. You will be able to function more easily within the culture. When contacting home, you will begin sharing the enjoyable experiences with family and friends.
Adaptation or Biculturalism
Lastly, there is the stage of adaptation or biculturalism. You have managed to retain your own cultural identity but you recognize the right of other cultures to retain theirs. You have a better understanding of yourself and others, and can communicate easily and convey warmth and understanding across the cultural barriers.
Triggers of Culture Shock
• Unfamiliar 'rules' for social interaction: for example, greetings between people, facial expressions, body language, spoken language, general attitudes, dining schedules
• Strange environment and climate: for example, cleanliness of your lodgings; design and adequacy of the toilets; operability of appliances like clothes washers and heating systems; level of noise in your accommodation and city; quality and availability of food and water; and climate, attitude, and weather.
• Different attitudes and expectations: for example, whether appointments start on time or on a more flexible schedule; whether the people you encounter exhibit a cheery, positive attitude or a negative one; whether stores, banks, museums and other places are open at hours that coincide with your needs or not; whether local people appear to be helpful to foreigners or distrustful of them
• Depression; feelings of loneliness or sadness
• Loss or gain of weight; increase or decrease in appetite
• Compulsive drinking
• Insomnia; difficulty sleeping or severe sleepiness
• Withdrawal from social activities; unwillingness to interact with others
• Anger over minor frustrations
• Exaggerated homesickness
• Lack of confidence or feelings of insecurity
• Overly critical of the local customs
• Quickly becoming angry when faced with relatively minor frustrations
• Developing irrational concerns about your health and the cleanliness of your surroundings
• Becoming consistently irritable or critical of your new environment
• Displaying excessive fear of being cheated, robbed, or injured
Coping with Culture Shock
• Eat well
• Exercise
• Explore your surroundings
• Keep in touch with friends
• Write in a journal or blog
• Learn to say 'no' and take time for yourself
• Talk to friends and family
• Reach out to the OIP staff or your host institution international office staff

Uniontown Bar & Grill Signals Changing Anacostia Community
Barrington M. Salmon | 7/31/2013, 3 p.m.
One week after its soft opening, Ward 8 resident Anthony Tate savored the ambiance and camaraderie of Uniontown Bar & Grill.
The mid-July debut returned the only traditional sit-down restaurant in the Historic Anacostia neighborhood to area residents.
"It's very important, especially for this neighborhood, for the fellowship," said Tate, a 50-year-old case manager for the D.C. Department of Youth Services. "Fellowship is one of the most important things. This place provides common ground after work. It doesn't matter who owns it, people will come."
Tate and others patrons say Uniontown is an important part of Anacostia's revitalization. Many hope its presence marks another step in the rebirth of an area that is overdue for uplift.
Patrons were upbeat.
"It being here is very important. It's the first of its kind and gives a lot of us who're looking to go out and be social a place to go," said Nicole Garner, an accountant who lives nearby. "It means we're well on our way to having more establishments like this in this neighborhood."
"I've seen change and I think it's good for the community. Crime is down and we're showing that people want something different from what we've had in the past. This is a change in the right direction."
Patrons lined the bar, while others sat at tables in twos and threes; some were eating meals, and others sipped on beer, spirits and wine. Rhythm and blues music played softly in the background while a muted television set aired the evening news. The tempo of the chatter ebbed and flowed, intermingled with laughter.
Uniontown co-owner Gabriel Tripodo moved from table-to-table greeting each guest, a broad smile and a firm handshake accompanying each personalized welcome.
Tripodo, who has had his hand in a range of business ventures in the District of Columbia and Seattle, Wash., for the past 18 years, said he opened the restaurant because he firmly believes in the promise the area holds.
"The area is changing fast. I've been here since 2008 and it's changing fast," said Tripodo, an Eritrean-Italian who has lived in the U.S. since 1990. "There are new people, a new crowd and a lot of professional people. The area is looking nice and clean now."
The menu, he said, is Bistro American and includes steaks and salmon, but no fried foods.
"We actually opened on July 17 and we've done very well," said Tripodo, of the 1,600-square-foot space located at the corner of Martin Luther King, Jr., Avenue and W Street, S.E. "I didn't want to advertise yet because I didn't want to be overcrowded. I'm really excited. The community is happy to see us here."
Tripodo anticipates more business and attracting greater numbers of patrons when he converts the upstairs space.
"Upstairs is under construction but when it's done, it will have live music such as jazz and rhythm and blues and comedy. It will be a nice lounge," he said. "It should be ready in a couple of months."
Tendani Mpulubusi-El, 31, said he's excited about the possibilities.
