Nanotechnology and Rice University
Before you can understand nanotechnology, you must first understand nano. Nano, derived from the Greek word nanos meaning dwarf, is a prefix in the SI measurement system meaning 10-9 or one billionth. Here are a few interesting metrics to put nano in perspective …
Now that you have an idea of nanoscale dimensions, nanotechnology is quite simply the application of knowledge at the nanoscale. Here are some more specific definitions …
No matter the definition, everyone agrees that nanotechnology is a highly diverse and multidisciplinary scientific field. For that reason, the Smalley Institute at Rice University has an intellectually diverse membership including 151 faculty/staff members in 21 departments with over 500 graduate students researching nanotechnology in a variety of sociological and scientific arenas including energy, education, aerospace, ethics, and human health.
As the Smalley Institute matured over the last 15 years, the vision of the Institute evolved into leading the world in solving humanity's most pressing problems through the application of nanotechnology. As Professor Richard E. Smalley so aptly put it, "Rice's research reputation comes from solving the hardest problems in science. Others can work on the easy ones, the applied problems. Focus on the grand challenges, the holy grails in nanotechnology. Don't be distracted by the other things!" Professor Smalley identified the Top Ten Problems Facing Humanity over the next 50 years as energy, water, food, environment, poverty, terrorism & war, disease, education, democracy, and population.
The Smalley Institute currently focuses on 5 Grand Challenges: energy, water, environment, disease, and education. Rice University researchers endeavor to impact each Grand Challenge through the application of nanotechnology which we categorize into eleven Nanotechnology Disciplines.
Because of the multidisciplinary nature of nanotechnology, many Smalley Institute researchers work in 3 or more of these focus areas. We invite you to Learn More about the specific Grand Challenges and Nanotechnology Disciplines through the Smalley Institute website.

MACON, MO -- Captain James E. Wilt, commanding officer of Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop B, in Macon, announces the results of "Operation S.T.O.P." enforcement activities conducted during the month of April 2012.
Operation S.T.O.P. (Stop, Think, Observe, and Proceed) is a new traffic enforcement program aimed at reducing traffic crashes at intersections having a higher rate of traffic crashes. At many of these intersections, serious crashes have occurred as a result of motorists failing to stop at stop signs or failing to yield to other vehicles as they enter the intersecting roadway.
On April 3, 2012, Operation S.T.O.P. was conducted in Macon County on U.S. Highway 36 at Kellogg Street, and in Adair County on U.S. Highway 63 at Missouri Highway 11. On April 11, 2012, Operation S.T.O.P. occurred in Macon County on U.S. Highway 36 at Kellogg Street; and on April 12, 2012, in Marion County on U.S. Highway 61 at the intersections of Main Cross Street and Ross Street, in Palmyra, Missouri. Operation S.T.O.P. also occurred on April 18, 2012, in Macon County on U.S. Highway 63 at Missouri Route M.
As a result of the operations, troopers assisted by a Patrol aircraft issued a total of 62 traffic summonses and 26 traffic warnings. The following is a breakdown of summonses issued for the month of April 2012:
51 - Citations for stop sign violations 7 - Citations for seat belt violations 3 - Citations for insurance violations 1 - Citation for exceeding the posted speed limit
"Fatalities are on the increase so far this year in Missouri," stated Captain Wilt. "The S.T.O.P. enforcement program is another innovative way of stepping up enforcement efforts to help reduce traffic crashes. Please follow all traffic laws, stop at all stop signs, and make sure it is safe to proceed through the intersection before doing so."

Crain's to participate with WXYZ, local media in final Detroit mayoral debate Oct. 29By Kirk Pinho
Crain's Detroit Business and other local media organizations on Oct. 29 will pose questions to Detroit's two mayoral candidates in the final debate before the Nov. 5 general election. Crain's Publisher Mary Kramer; Bankole Thompson, senior editor of The Michigan Chronicle; Carolyn Clifford, WXYZ-Channel 7 anchor, and Lloyd Jackson, assistant news director of WJR AM 760 and host of "The Big Story," will be panelists in the debate between Mike Duggan and Benny Napoleon, said WXYZ Editorial Director Chuck Stokes, the debate's moderator. The debate will be put on in association with the Booker T. Washington Business Association and the Detroit Black Chamber. Stephen Clark of WXYZ will moderate a special post-debate webcast from 8-8:30 p.m. The debate will be held a week before the Nov. 5 general election. Duggan, the former Detroit Medical Center president and CEO, and Wayne County Sheriff Napoleon, will answer questions in front of a live audience at the WXYZ Southfield studio at 20777 W. 10 Mile Road from 7-8 p.m. The debate will be aired live on Channel 7 and streamed online at www.wxyz.com. A viewing also will be held at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, at 315 E. Warren between John R and Brush streets. About 50 people are expected to attend in the Channel 7 studio, while the history museum's viewing theater seats about 325, Stokes said. A forum featuring both candidates hosted by the Detroit Economic Club is planned for Oct. 23 at Cobo Center. Two other candidate debates are planned before the Oct. 29 debate; Crain's could not confirm the details of those debates as of this posting. Duggan and Napoleon were the top two vote-getters in the Aug. 6 primary election, in which Duggan had to run as a write-in candidate after two courts declared him ineligible to be on the ballot. In September, the Michigan Board of Canvassers certified the primary election results with Duggan as the winner after a protracted certification process caused by a dispute over whether write-in votes tallied numerically, instead of with hash marks, could be counted. Whether Duggan or Napoleon is elected on Nov. 5, either will likely serve at least the first months of his term under Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr, who on July 18 filed the city for Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy protection. Detroit Mayor Dave Bing, first elected in 2009, announced in May that he would not seek another term as mayor. He is considering a bid for Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano's job in 2014.

Jesus Perea | on Tumblr (b.1971, Spain)
Jesus Perea is a visual artist from Spain whose work is something completely open and changing. He used to work on painting and has focuse in digital and mixed media since 2 years. Focusing on the simplicity of form, the geometry, the space, the empty and the architecture, Jesus Perea is very interested in the dialog of the form and the stain, the rational and the random, the poetry and emotion that comes from it.He loves the surprise that appears in the process, the manipulation of the image to get somewhere that was unknown for him when he started that work. Through his artwork, Jesus Perea wish that the viewers feel connected with it through some kind of emotion. Please visit artist's Facebook or follow his Tumblr for more work.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attend a service June 4 at Westminster Abbey in London to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the coronation of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II. The duchess is to christen a new ship on Thursday in Southampton, England. (Anthony Devlin / Associated Press) |
Set your clock for early Thursday to watch Kate Middleton, everyone's favorite royal, christen a cruise ship in Britain.
The duchess of Cambridge, due to deliver her first child next month, had been selected as godmother to the new Royal Princess from Princess Cruises. At 3:30 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time, Middleton will be in Southampton, England, and ready to smash a bottle of Champagne on the bow of the ship. (Go to Princess Cruises to watch the live stream.)
The Duchess follows Princess Diana, Margaret Thatcher and others who have served as godmothers to ships in the Princess line. She also will bless the ship as part of her godmotherly duties.
British singer Natasha Bedingfield will perform during the event, and there will be plenty of pomp too with performances by the Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines Portsmouth (Royal Band) and the pipers of the Irish Guards.
The new ship will hold 3,600 passengers and features a large piazza-style atrium that will serve as a gathering point, a glass-bottomed walkway on the top deck that extends 28 feet beyond the ship's edge, top deck pool with poolside cabanas and balconies on all outside staterooms.
The ship is to depart on Sunday for its maiden voyage, which will go to Barcelona, Spain. That will be followed by sailings from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to the Caribbean in the fall.

Chief Justice John Roberts votes his Catholic conscience on Health Care bill -- One of six Catholics on court and a true lover of Ireland

Chief Justice John Roberts with President Obama |
Chief Justice John Roberts has become the hero, or villain, of the hour depending on your politics on the Supreme Court decision.
Roberts voted with the liberal side, throwing the left and right into chaos as they pondered this new reality in a case where most believed a 5-4 majority was dependent on Judge Kennedy not Roberts.
I am not totally surprised. I met Roberts when he came to our inaugural Legal 100 event for Irish America Magazine, held at the Irish Embassy a few years back. I found him far form being the right wing ideologue so many have painted him.
He and his wife, Jane Sullivan Roberts, are frequent visitors to Ireland where they have a holiday home in the Shannon area.
They are a very pleasant couple, very little airs or graces and clearly not overly impressed with their own importance.
Jane Sullivan is a major powerhouse in her own right, a daughter of Irish immigrants who long before her husband had gained his prominent position had been on of DC's top attorneys.
Roberts is very fond of Ireland and has taught courses there. Indeed, much of my conversation with him was about finding a thatcher for the roof in the Irish cottage, which was in need of repair.
Roberts is one of six Catholics on the Supreme Court, Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia, Samuel Alioto and Sonia Sotamayor are the others.
How much his Catholic fate influences him or indeed how it affects all the other Supreme Court Catholics will never be known.
There was a time when the idea of six Catholics on the Supreme Court was a pipe dream and a complete fantasy.
No more. The most important laws in the land are now being shaped by leading Catholics from liberals like Sotamayor to conservatives like Scalia.
It is quite a turn in terms of history and Roberts decision to side with the four liberal justices will be analyzed form pillar to post.
We will never know why but clearly like a good Catholic he voted his conscience on this issue.

The truth is the US Catholic Bishops have been lobying for Universal Health Care since 1919. Unfortunately any Catholic can not support this effort of Universal Health Care with a clear conscience because of the HHS Mandate. It is against our conscience to use or supply any form of Birthcontrol. As some may see our belief in Birth Control to be outdated saying yes to the mandate does fringe on our Freedom of Religion. We have the god given right to excersise what we are taught at mass throughout the week. If Catholics and the other religions let this HHS Mandate happend it sets a precedant on what the United States of America can do to our Freedom of Religion.

eiriamach you underestimate your fellow citizen,but to work with your analogies how does one deal with addicts? You certainly don't help by enabling them, give your drunk $5 or $50,00 until they decide to change it will not matter, in AA they say there is nothing worse than a "dry drunk"someone who is managing to not drink, but hating everything about it. There are plenty of good souls who volunteer and work in very testy conditions for the lost in the world, they do not do it for profit or money but because they feel they help. You use these lost and addicted people as a reason to justify control of others liberty and freedom. If I rob you to feed my family I could justify the action by saying my family needed food, but you would still have been robbed. On a less philosophical note when I give the drunk $10 bucks I don't tell him what to do with it. I know he will probably drink it, saves him from having to steal it from someone else.

BrianO, I could hand $5 to a drunk lying in the gutter, but he'd spend it on more booze. I could give $5 to a senior lying on a park bench with a newspaper over her face. But it wouldn't buy her a motel room for the night, and some drug-addict mugger would probably take it from her. Private charity is a drop in an ocean of need, more so in hard times, and without govt regs, charities help "the worthy poor" and leave others to fend for themselves. But I'm so opposed to living with radical inequality --it undermines my quality of life to see abysmal poverty, to know that great wealth creates a permanent underclass to keep its power-- that I'm willing to support govt programs to rehabilitate, train, and find jobs for drunks, house seniors, and police the parks vs muggers. I'll even pay for some waste IF the programs reduce the problems. You say the drunk's responsible for his own plight and the senior citizen should have saved for retirement? Returning wounded from war, after years unemployed, the drunk slid into alcoholism, and the economic crash wiped out the senior's private retirement investments. Actually, I don't care HOW they fell into poverty; I care that WE not let them die in the gutter or on the park bench. It's not my bleeding heart; it's the hope of the nation's founders, who designed a system to prevent radical inequality and thus ensure the future of democracy. What are YOU willing to do, besides lecturing the poor on individualism being more important than social justice?

red what prevents people from being charitable? I don't believe you will find any passages that state that you must run your wealth through a government entity and trust that said government entity will cure all ills. I suspect that you are searching for reasons to increase your power and control over your neighbor.I prefer individual freedom, I prefer actually helping my neighbor, not stealing from one to give to another, i am sure you are more well versed than I, but I seem to remeber a phrase "thou shalt not steal".

For me it is fairly simply. In Matthew's Gospel Jesus specifically stated that the 2 most important commandments are 1) Love of God; and 2) Love of Neighbor. He goes on to say these directives supersede the whole Law and the Prophets. What this means for me and perhaps the Chief Justice, is that 30 million Americans today and before, lacking health insurance must tell sick family members that there will be no insulin, no brain surgery, nobody to care for the Child with Down's Syndrome.
The Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare" is a path to Justice which always trumps charity alone. Last night on Fox "News" Mitch McConnell said "the 30 million [uninsured] are not the problem" except that Jesus, and apparently Roberts agrees, they are !

For as many Koch brothers (with whom I am happy they have done well) there are just as many Soros types (whom are allowed to do what they will with their resources). We have a fundamental difference in that I believe in the individual and the inherent good in people. You argue your point well, and I am glad you are a self made wealthy citizen of "oz", I'm am sure you use your wealth to good use. I choose to collect the crumbs and God willing spread them like the loaves and fishes. Individual freedom allows one to do so.

Or, on the other hand, you could purchase from another Johns Creek Web Design firm that specializes in semi-custom designs that are designed only toward your vision of the site look and but with little or no ability to attract and convert visitors to real business.
You need a web design to help safeguard your business, your cost savings, as well as your income. You'll want to get a strong web design to protect business and staff from the mounting cost of marketing. Good web design also covers you for costs of future changes and additions. A ReadyLaunchWP web design for Johns Creek offers the business owner an opportunity to make most changes or additions on their own thereby saving the costs normally destined to over priced web developers.
Whether you have an existing but antiquated web design, are in need of a new web design, or are a first time web design customer you always have the option to attempt a web design on your own. Do-it-yourself web designs, unfortunately in most cases, have little or no chance of getting any real traction. Several online do-it-yourself design web design sites offer a Johns Creek business owner the ability to quickly, within a couple days, develop their own website. The negative part is these sites will not be search engine friendly nor will they possess any ability to convert your Johns Creek visitors into Johns Creek customers. For the best use of business capital and for the highest odds of success, you may want to speak to a ReadyLaunchWP web design professional or at the very least search online for answers to your questions concerning web design and search engine optimization. There are a lot of alternatives for designs and marketing, you should take care and plenty of time in deciding on a web design that suits your individual business needs.
When in need of a strong web design for a Johns Creek business, there are lots of different ways you can acquire it, depending on what business your in, financial budget, and time frame. For instance, for those who are either self-employed or have a very small company, you can purchase a simple but constrained template web site design or build the site on your own. In case of larger company's, you can hire a web design firm to quickly construct a web design either with or without your personal involvement. Either way make sure that sound web design and best practice marketing strategies are included. Be careful, the lack of proper research, planning, and implementation will surely lead to dissatisfaction with the web design performance.

To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.
When my doctor told me that I had an allergy last year to cats, I was really sad. I loved my cats so much and I was really sad that I had to give them away. My mom took them so I knew that they were going to a great place. I decided that I would look into getting a hypoallergenic dog so I could have some pet that wouldn't make me sneeze. I went online to a website that said to click here so that I could see a list of the different breeds of dogs that were going to be able to stay in my home without giving me a problem. A poodle and schnauzer caught my eye as I knew that both of those breeds would work very well with my family and my lifestyle. My parents had a very sweet schnauzer that loved to be with us all twelve years of her life.
The poodles that I saw growing up were really small, they were toy poodles. I had no idea that there were different types of poodles within the breed itself. I ended up going to see standard poodles that were very tall. They were gorgeous but I wanted something that was a little more playful. Instead, I ended up looking at a Labradoodle. A breeder told me that this mix of Labrador retriever and a standard poodle would be just the perfect mix for my family and I. We were so excited when we went and picked out our puppy from the litter. He was the smallest one but most affectionate. Now, he is a very sweet member of our family and I don't think that we would be the same if he were not in our lives with the affection and joy he brings to us.

Sometimes when you start to feel an attack, it can be better to just accept it, and not fight it. But, rather than concentrating on your feelings, try to force yourself to remember that those feelings are going to pass. Fighting an attack may actually increase anxiety; therefore, it is essential to remain calm. Work on adopting a positive attitude and focusing on what you are doing well, rather than dwelling on your issues. Thin positively, stay in the now, and overwhelm your mind with happiness when the dark thoughts begin.Attempt to break yourself out of panic attacks. Your feelings need not keep you from doing anything. Change your behavior to reflect the exact opposite of whatever your gut is telling you. Understand that your feelings should not control what you do. Being worried that you may have a panic attack can cause it to occur in itself. Stop thinking about the sources of your attacks and about the dreaded worry. By focusing on a future panic attack, you can actually trigger one. This is somewhat like the experience you will feel if a person is constantly recommending you not think about something. Pretty soon, that something is the only thing you are able to think about.

I think that when most people are in the market for car insurance, they all want the same thing. Everyone wants to find the cheapest car insurance possible. The problem is that not everyone knows how to go about getting the best rates available. I can speak from personal experience that knowing where to look can be challenging. I recently went through the process of evaluating my current coverage, and I learned a few things along the way.
First of all, there is no reason why you can't get everything you want accomplished from the comfort of your own home. I spent several evenings sitting on my couch, plotting the perfect course of action. I never even had to leave home. First, I had to get everything together and figure out what I was currently paying with my insurance company. I didn't just stop there. I also took a look at the type of coverage I had, and how much money I would be expected to pay out of pocket were I to get in an accident. I really combed through my current policy, because I wanted to know exactly what I had.
After that bit of research, I resumed my search for cheaper rates. I had my information readily available, and began to compare what other carriers were offering. I found this great site that was a great help, because it did most of the work for me. Instead of having to go around to a lot of different sites, this one site pulled in all of the information and actually compared rates for me. It made my life a lot easier, and my nights more enjoyable. I was able to focus on more important things like coverage amounts, rather than worrying about which company to choose. Next time I'm in the market for auto insurance, I'll be sure to go this route again.

I am working for a company that would like to get a new logo created at some point in the near future, and I have been given the job of making sure that a good logo gets created for the company. I am not quite sure why I was picked to oversee this task, but I am going to do the best job that I can. I just really hope that I can get it done with the budget I have been allotted. Right now, I am looking for logo design companies in the area that will be able to create a high quality logo for my company at a price that is reasonable. A reasonable price, to me, will be one that gets a great logo created for a price that falls within the budget that I have for this task.
In addition to a budget, I have also been given a deadline for getting this completed. I have two weeks to get a great logo created for the company, because we are in the process of trying to re-brand the company, and this is a very important step in that process. As such, it needs to be completed fairly quickly, so that we will be able to move forward with the rest of the plans. The re-branding seems to be necessary, as business has dwindled significantly in the past year, and it seems like customers are less interested in buying our products. It is kind of disheartening, but I am going to help do what i can to make our business more relevant again. The best way that I can do that is to do my best to ensure that the logo that gets created is of the best quality possible. I hope to start talking to a logo design company at some point today.

If you are susceptible to yeast infections, then be very choosy about the fabrics you select for your undergarments. Nylon locks in moisture, which can be a feeding ground for these types of infections. Instead wear natural materials that breathe, such as cotton. Steer clear of flashy undergarments as they can irritate your infection. Regular cotton keeps things dry, lace and nylons that fancy panties contain tend to keep moisture close to your body. This creates an environment that yeast can breed in. Being clean means you're less likely to have a yeast infection. Wash your vagina with plenty of water and soap.

Yeah, I'm debating an X360 to be a dedicated RBN machine... But I think I'll hold out at least a few months until I can be sure they'll still be releasing content, and maybe until after the next gen is released after there's a little price drop. The content will be there for a long while, so no real rush.
Only thing I'm not so sure of is how accepting the online community will be to someone with only RBN DLC... oh and I hate the idea of having to pay for online no matter how relatively inexpensive it is.
Lawdog - "That may be the dirtiest thing anyone has ever said on here."
I was thinking about making a RBN box as well, but it's inconvenient switching back and forth, but would cost me about $2500 to replace what I have on the ps3.
That and I have waaaayyyy too many great RB friends in the PS3 online community that in no way am I willing to say good-bye to.
Lawdog - "That may be the dirtiest thing anyone has ever said on here."
Honestly it's not worth it just for RBN.
You will be spending hundreds (or thousands depending how much dlc you get) on a console (if your like me.. now that i've done this) don't even play.
I just like the PS3 console more even with the less RB features.

I know that feeling. Xbox from PS3 isn't going to be much fun paying for online multiplayer, but it was worth it for me since I switched from a Wii. But it's still kind of meh when switching just for the RBN. But if you want the RBN and RBN alone, then it's still going to cost you. You need to rebuy every instrument except the Logitech mics, and it all becomes a big headache. It all comes down to your opinion. Also, when you're saved up. Make sure the XBox 360 is still selling, and that the servers are still up. Then it will be worth it. The only reason I say that is because it took me a couple years to get my XBox. But I'm poor, so with you I think it's different, plus I don't know how long Microsoft plans to "support" their XBox 360.

I'm in this boat. I actually help Ozone get some RBN content so I'm more motivated than I would be otherwise. I know some kickass stuff is still coming that didn't make the PS3 deadline. (Well kickass to me at least.)
You could do MPA for the drums and get an e-kit that would work on both. Also, I believe you might be able to use some of the pro midi guitars on both consoles with an MPA.
I also like the keytar better than the regular fake guitars. Those should work on both consoles with a MPA.
Among the big songs coming to RBN from Ozone!!
I sense something cool coming soon. Look for an announcement before the end.
It's a tough situation. I enjoy playing a lot, and I don't want to sit around and watch all the new songs coming out that I can't download, and 90% of the songs I wouldn't anyways, but I was looking at current songs on RBN and I didn't realize there were a good handful of songs the PS3 never got. Like 3 more widespread panic songs...how widespread didn't make it over is upsetting, and now I want to play those. Grrr, what to do. I just ordered a ton of PS3 gear too...3 guitars, 2 bass guitars, a keyboard, midi pro adapter, second copy of the game... Etc. then as I said, I have about 1000 songs on top of that...playing online doesn't bother me because I still have a lot of people who play locally. I dunno what to do, it sucks having to make this kind of decision. I guess I'm not gonna be happy with either outcome.

Meek Mill
Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill, born Robert Williams, began releasing mixtapes in 2006, debuting with The Real Me. Within a few years, after the release of Flamerz 2, his output prompted offers from Warner Bros. and T.I.s Atlantic-affiliated Grand Hustle. The MC opted to align with the latter label, but he never signed and spent some time in jail. Once free, he continued pushing mixtapes, including a fourth volume of the Flamerz series, and was included in XXL magazines Freshman Class feature for 2011. Through Twitter, Meek Mill caught the attention of Rick Ross, signed to the MCs Maybach Music Group, and appeared on the labels Self Made, Vol. 1 compilation prior to releasing his first proper studio album, Dreams and Nightmares, in 2012. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

Every day, thousands of children die from the effects of unsafe drinking water, poor sanitation, and a lack of basic hygiene. Far too many lives are lost from preventable water-related illnesses like diarrhea, pneumonia, typhoid, cholera, and dysentery. Your gift triples in impact to help prevent these deaths.
To give water is to give life. Clean water can cut a community's child mortality rate in half. It means food for families whose crops are failing due to drought. It saves livestock. It gives parents a powerful way to improve the health, hygiene, and well-being of their children, and enable them to reach their God-given potential.
Your gift will multiply 3x in impact to bring safe, clean water to those who need it most. You'll help build wells, treat contaminated water, and provide water storage containers to save fresh rainwater for later use. And, most importantly, your gift will help improve children's health with sanitation systems that keep water sources clean.
No other gift produces a more dramatic effect on life than clean water and sanitation. You can help wash away suffering by providing access to one of life's most precious resources. Give now — for these children, every minute counts.

ENTRY / EXIT REQUIREMENTS FOR U.S. CITIZENS: You must have a valid U.S. passport and a visa to enter Australia. Most U.S. passport holders traveling to Australia for tourism or business purposes for less than 90 days can obtain an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA). The ETA is an electronic label-free visa and can be obtained at the ETA website for a small service fee. Airlines and many travel agents in the United States are also able to apply for ETAs on behalf of travelers. If you overstay your ETA or any other visa, even for short periods, you may be subject to exclusion, detention, and removal by the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC). You can find more information about the ETA, other visas, and entry requirements from the Embassy of Australia at 1601 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20036, via the Australian Visa Information Service at 905-280-1437 (toll charges to Canada apply) or their website.
On November 1, 2012, the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service began a trial extending Australia's automated border processing system, "SmartGate," to U.S. Global Entry Program members. SmartGate gives eligible travelers the option to self-process through passport control upon arrival in Australia. It is an automatic border control system which uses the data in an ePassport and facial recognition technology to perform the checks which are usually manually completed by Australian Customs & Border Protection Officers.
To be eligible to use SmartGate, U.S. travelers must:
HIV/AIDS ENTRY RESTRICTIONS: Some HIV/AIDS entry restrictions exist for visitors to and foreigners seeking permanent residence in Australia. Depending on the type of visa you apply for, the length of your stay, and your intended activities in Australia, you may be required to undergo a medical examination before the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) will issue you a visa. If during the course of the application process, you are found to be HIV positive, a decision on the application will be considered on the same grounds as any other pre-existing medical condition (such as tuberculosis or cancer), with the main focus being placed on the cost of the condition to Australia's health care and community services. Additional information about Australian immigration health requirements can be found here. Please verify this information with the Embassy of Australia before you travel.
Information about dual nationality or the prevention of international child abduction can be found on our website. For further information about customs regulations, please read our Customs Information page.
THREATS TO SAFETY AND SECURITY: Australia has an alert system for possible terrorist attacks. The threat levels range from "low" to "high." The Australian Attorney General's Office web site has up-to-date information regarding the current terrorism threat level. Depending on the alert, you should maintain a high level of vigilance and take appropriate steps to increase your security awareness. Travelers may also contact the Australian National Security Hotline at 61-1-800-123-400.
Stay up to date by:
CRIME: Although U.S citizens are not specifically targeted for crime, travelers should be aware that robberies, burglaries, assault, and auto theft are common in Australia's larger cities. Weapons are increasingly used in such crimes, which also may be associated with drug trafficking, gang activities, and drug or alcohol usage. Foreign visitors in popular tourist areas are targets for pickpockets, purse-snatchers, and petty thieves. Be careful when consuming alcohol with unfamiliar people, as drink spiking can occur; appropriate security precautions should be taken, especially at night, to avoid becoming a target of opportunity.
Do not buy counterfeit and pirated goods, even if they are widely available. Not only are the bootlegs illegal in the United States, if you purchase them you may also be breaking local law.
VICTIMS OF CRIME: If you or someone you know becomes the victim of a crime abroad, you should contact the local police and the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. We can:
Every state in Australia has an assistance program for victims of crimes and these programs will be able to generally assist you, even if you are only visiting Australia. For more information on local programs in Australia, please visit Victim Assistance Online's website.
The local equivalent to the "911" emergency line in Australia is: 000 (Triple 0). To call for fire/police/ambulance services throughout Australia, dial "000" for urgent assistance.
Please see our information on victims of crime, including possible victim compensation programs in the United States.
CRIMINAL PENALTIES: While you are traveling in Australia, you are subject to its laws even if you are a U.S. citizen. Foreign laws and legal systems can be vastly different than our own. You may be taken in for questioning if you don't have your passport with you. In some places, it is illegal to take pictures of certain buildings, such as inside certain areas of Australian airports, near prisons and at military bases. If you break local laws, your U.S. passport won't help. It's very important to know what's legal and what's not where you are going. In Australia, driving under the influence could land you immediately in jail. If you violate Australian laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. There are also some things that might be legal in the country you visit, but still illegal in the United States. You can be prosecuted under U.S. law if you buy pirated goods. Engaging in sexual conduct with children or using or disseminating child pornography in a foreign country is a crime prosecutable in the United States. If you break local laws in Australia, your U.S. passport won't help you avoid arrest or prosecution. Penalties for possessing, using, or trafficking in illegal drugs in Australia are severe, and convicted offenders can expect long jail sentences and heavy fines. Please be aware that all objectionable material is subject to declaration and inspection and may be illegal in Australia. Objectionable material includes child pornography, bestiality, explicit sexual violence, and graphic degradation, as well as terrorism-related material and anything providing instruction in or encouraging drug use, crime, or violence. It's very important to know what's legal and what's not wherever you go.
While some countries will automatically notify the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate if a U.S. citizen is detained or arrested in a foreign country, that might not always be the case. To ensure that the United States is aware of your circumstances, request that the police and prison officials notify the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate as soon as you are arrested or detained overseas.
Potential Health Screening: The 1908 Quarantine Law gives Australian authorities broad powers to prevent the entry of diseases and other materials into
Australia that might pose a threat to its welfare. In the event of a public health emergency involving a communicable disease,
passengers arriving in Australia may be subject to strict health screening measures, including testing, monitoring, and assessment
for possible quarantine. For information about outbreaks of infectious diseases abroad, please consult the infectious diseases
section of the World Health Organization (WHO) web site. The WHO website also contains additional health information for travelers, including detailed country-specific health information.
Customs: Australian customs authorities enforce very strict regulations concerning the importation from all countries of items such as agricultural and wood products, as well as very strict quarantine standards for other products, animals, and pets. These regulations also apply to items you bring with you, including small quantities of food such as fruit. Please contact the Embassy of Australia in Washington, D.C., or one of Australia's consulates in the United States for specific information regarding customs requirements, or visit the Australian Government's Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry web site.
Safety Concerns: Be aware that Australian fauna can be dangerous. From jellyfish off the Great Barrier Reef to crocodiles, sharks, poisonous insects, and snakes, the continent and its waters host wildlife that merit awe and respect in equal doses. Visit the Wet Tropics Management Authority visitor info guide for information on Australian wildlife and marine life. While swimming, take important safety precautions, such as swimming only between the flags where a lifeguard is present, and never swimming alone. SCUBA diving can be a treacherous sport. Over the past few years, there have been numerous deaths related to diving incidents. We urge divers to follow recommended precautions and never dive alone.
Accessibility: While in Australia, individuals with disabilities may find accessibility and accommodation very different from what you find in the United States. Australia has and enforces laws prohibiting discrimination for access of premises, facilities and accommodation; however, please keep in mind, that many of the downtown areas of Australian cities were built in the 1800s. These cities often have narrow sidewalks crowded with pedestrians and tourists. Also, many of the tourist spots at the beach or in the outback may have varying degrees of accessibility. Generally, most public transit means, parking, streets, and buildings are accessible to disabled travelers. Modern accessibility improvements include ramps, tactile indicators, and audible street crossing indicators. Many websites offer information on accessible hotels, motels, and rental properties. Parks, gardens, stadiums and other public venues often share accessibility information on their websites.
MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Excellent medical care is available in Australia. Serious medical problems requiring hospitalization and/or medical evacuation to the United States can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Most doctors and hospitals expect immediate cash/credit card payment for health services. We recommend travel insurance.
You can find detailed information on vaccinations and other health precautions on the CDC website. For information about outbreaks of infectious diseases abroad, consult the World Health Organization (WHO) website. The WHO website also contains additional health information for travelers, including detailed country-specific health information.
MEDICAL INSURANCE: You can't assume your insurance will go with you when you travel. It's very important to find out BEFORE you leave whether or not your medical insurance will cover you overseas. You need to ask your insurance company two questions:
In many places, doctors and hospitals still expect payment in cash at the time of service. Your regular U.S. health insurance may not cover doctor and hospital visits in other countries. If your policy doesn't go with you when you travel, it's a very good idea to take out another one for your trip. For more information, please see our medical insurance overseas page.
TRAFFIC SAFETY AND ROAD CONDITIONS: While in Australia, you may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United States. The information below concerning driving in Australia is provided for general reference only and may not be totally accurate in a particular location or circumstance.
Traffic operates on the left side of the road, and all vehicles use right-hand drive. Please use caution when crossing streets and when driving. When crossing roads on foot, make sure you look carefully in all directions. Wearing a seat belt is mandatory, and fines apply for not wearing them. Speed limits and laws regarding driving while intoxicated are rigorously enforced, and random breath testing of a driver's blood alcohol limit is a common occurrence. Roads and streets are frequently narrower and less graded than U.S. highways. Outside major metropolitan areas, most highways are two-lane roads with significant distances between destinations. Speed limits vary throughout Australia and are measured in kilometers, not miles. Be aware that speed cameras are everywhere and you will be ticketed for driving over the speed limit.
When driving in Australia, exercise caution while passing or merging with adjacent traffic. If driving in rural areas, be cautious of free-roaming animals, such as kangaroos, and "road-trains" (several semi-truck trailers connected together). Passing road-trains is dangerous, and you should pull over to allow on-coming road-trains to pass to avoid being sideswiped. A number of fatalities have occurred in the Northern Territory where vehicles driven at high rates of speed have skidded and overturned after hitting loose gravel on the shoulder of the road. If you have no experience with a 4-wheel drive vehicle, you should exercise common-sense when driving in the Australian outback.
Texting or holding your phone while driving is against the law, but you can use a hands-free system to communicate while driving. For specific information concerning Australian driving permits, vehicle inspection, road tax, mandatory insurance, and the rental and operation of motor vehicles in Australia, visit the Australian Tourist Commission web site.
Each state/territory has different rules about using a foreign driver's license and the conditions under which a visitor might have to get an international driver's license. In some cases, you can apply for a driver's license from the state in Australia where you intend to remain for the duration of your stay in Australia. More information about driving rules and regulations is available by state.
Please refer to our Road Safety page for additional resources.
AVIATION SAFETY OVERSIGHT: The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the government of Australia's Civil Aviation Authority as being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Australia's air carrier operations. Further information may be found on the FAA's safety assessment page.
CHILDREN'S ISSUES: Please see our Office of Children's Issues web pages on intercountry adoption and international parental child abduction.

Researchers use normal alpha-1 antitrypsin gene and toxin-suppressing microRNA
AAT plays an important role in the body's ability to turn off the immune system. Produced in the liver and delivered through the blood, the AAT protein is responsible for protecting lung tissue from inflammatory enzymes that destroy invading bacteria. Patients with AAT deficiency aren't able to produce enough of this protective protein and, as a result, these inflammatory enzymes destroy not only bacteria and infected cells but healthy lung tissue as well. People with AAT deficiency are vulnerable to infections or irritants in the air, such as cigarette smoke, and often develop life-threatening lung diseases such as emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Just as the alpha-1 protein deficiency can give rise to lung disease, the mutant gene can lead to cirrhosis of the liver. Because the mutant protein is not secreted properly in the liver, it accumulates and can become toxic. This toxicity can damage liver tissue and cause cirrhosis.
"Current treatments for AAT deficiency mostly focus on preventing the lung damage caused by the lack of this protein and have limited effectiveness for people suffering from this debilitating disease," said Terence R. Flotte, MD, the Celia and Isaac Haidak Professor of Medicine, executive deputy chancellor, provost, dean of the School of Medicine and professor of pediatrics. "There is no long-term treatment available that can address both the lung disease and liver damage resulting from this hereditary disorder."
The challenge for clinical scientists at UMMS was to develop a potential therapy that simultaneously increased production of functional alpha-1 protein in the blood while also suppressing the toxic mutant gene in the liver.
Previous clinical trials by Dr. Flotte have shown that patients who have had functional alpha-1 genes injected into muscle tissue using an adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector are capable of producing near-therapeutic levels of the alpha-1 protein. These trials, being conducted at UMMS, have shown promise for increasing AAT levels in patients with AAT deficiency, but like many current treatments, it doesn't address the issue of the corresponding liver disease.
In order to suppress the mutant gene in the liver, Flotte and colleagues turned to the RNA-induced silencing complex, a natural system responsible for regulating gene function. Working with Christian Mueller, PhD, assistant professor of pediatrics, and Phillip D. Zamore, PhD, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, the Gretchen Stone Cook Chair of Biomedical Sciences and professor of biochemistry & molecular pharmacology, the UMMS team designed an artificial microRNA to suppress the mutant AAT gene in the liver. A single stranded RNA molecule, microRNA helps to control gene expression, and can increase or decrease protein levels produced by targeted genes.
Flotte and his team combined these therapeutic strategies into a single AAV vector that could be delivered simultaneously. To make sure that the artificial microRNA didn't also turn off the normal gene being introduced, they engineered the DNA so it is resistant to the effects of the microRNA.
Results of the study show that the artificial miRNA was successful in reducing mutant AAT levels in animal models while also exhibiting sustained expression of the functional AAT gene. "The study clearly shows the feasibility of a dual-function therapeutic approach for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency," said Dr. Mueller. "More work needs to be done, though, to determine what effect the expression of artificial microRNAs might have on the target organ."

Rouleur Annual Vol 5
The fifth volume of our Annual is certainly the biggest and, we would suggest, the best edition so far. Our photographers and writers have once again travelled to bike races far and wide to find the wonderful – along with a smattering of the weird – for the fifth Rouleur Annual…
The overwhelmingly Italian flavour of issue 38 contains both classic and contemporary features celebrating the Giro, its riders and its equipment.
The Eddy T-shirt, designed by Richard Mitchelson, is dark grey and the only branding on it is a discreet Rouleur printed (in light grey) on the left sleeve.
Our 19th edition contains an exclusive look at some of the best racing photography ever taken in Britain, and an interview with living legend Bernard Hinault.
"Paris, 4 July 2003: My first Tour de France. I had never seen a bike race. I had only vaguely heard of Lance Armstrong. I had no idea what I was doing there.
