Viral / Molecular Core
Mission | Personnel | Services | Contact Info
Infection of cells with HIV. The image shows a HOS cell with DNA
labeled blue, cellular microtubules green, and the HIV matrix protein
red. The image was generated by Phil McKenna and Frederic Bushman. |
The Core provides comprehensive Viral and Molecular support to serve the needs of Penn/Wistar/CHOP investigators in the area of basic, translational and clinical HIV research. In addition to an offering of standard services, we are available to develop customized viral and molecular support services as needed in collaboration with CFAR investigators, training for new personnel, and Consultation, Training, and Mentoring as needed.
Virology Support Services include a virus repository stocked with wide range of primary, prototype and mutant virus strains; services for the isolation, phenotyping and genetic analysis of primary viruses from patient-derived tissues; HIV-1 p24 and SIV p27 Gag antigen quantification; and a variety of related reagents, services, and consultative support.
Molecular Support Services include support for quantitative realtime PCR with an 7500FAST machine, optimized HIV and cellular primer/probe sets and reagents; support for primer design and analysis of custom targets; target quantification on a customized basis; and related services.
The core also offers High Density Sequencing Support using Roche 454 or Solexa/Illumina pyrosequencing and bioinformatic technology. This powerful emerging technology is ideally suited to complex genetic populations like HIV, and this Core service has been established under leadership of Dr. Rick Bushman to facilitate its application in HIV-related research on campus.
Single Genome Amplification Services include consultation and hands-on training for investigators who are interested in amplifying single templates of their pathogen (e.g., HIV/SIV, HCV, Plasmodium, bacteria) of interest without the risk of PCR artifacts. This core service is offered by Dr. Frederic Bibollet-Ruche and Dr. Beatrice Hahn.
Finally, the Core provides a BSL-3 Lab Facility and Training Program to ensure safe conduct of HIV research, under leadership of Dr. Luis Montaner. The Core will also assist in identifying or providing suitable laboratory containment space for CFAR investigators who require but do not otherwise have an appropriate biosafety containment lab available.

Rotten Tomatoes API Forums
Feature Requests
RSS FeedAPI for Celebrity Search/Info
Its a common use case that a user would like to know more about the cast in a movie, their profile, bio, and also try to look up other good movies they have acted in. It would be great if we could have some API for this.
I found many similar feature requests for celebrity, producer, director after creating this post. Sorry for creating a new thread. Any update on these requests?
same here..i would like this feature too. Any updates?
I would like this one too! Would be great if it had cast info to be able to pull filmagraphy for the person. It is actually really hard to get an actors filmography right now. Wikipedia has so many different ways of storing it and netflix is many times missing movies.
Any updates?
I would also like to search for movies by [ActorName]. I would also like to search for movies by [Genre].
Just signed up for the API. I am disappointed there is no way (yet?) to search for a celebrity. Please let me (us) know when this changes.
I'd like to put my vote in for this feature. It could be very powerful for users to find movies with their favorite actors!
Please add this!
vote for this, it should be very great if they add this
need this feature
I get the feeling this functionality was left out on purpose. Guess I'll have to use IMDB's API for my app.

Archaeologists discover objects, more than 700 years old, at Nevado de Toluca in Mexico
The finding confirms that distinct groups from Valle de Toluca, such as the Otomis and Matlatzincas and subsequently Mexicas, climbed towards the volcanos crater (more than 4200 meters above sea level [13779.52 feet]) to deposit these organic elements in said lake, as well as in Laguna de la Luna, where previous investigations had found remains of pre Hispanic objects. Photo: DMC INAH M TAPIA.
Translated by: Cristina Perez Ayala
Ceramic remains, bars and copal cones, maguey thorns and a couple of pieces of timber with the form of snakes, also known as Tlaloc scepters of about 700 years old were found by underwater archaeologists of the
National Institute of Anthropology and History
, in the depths of the Laguna del Sol in Nevado de Toluca, Estado de Mexico.
The finding of said materials confirms that distinct groups from Valle de Toluca, such as the Otomis and Matlatzincas and subsequently Mexicas, climbed towards the volcanos crater (more than 4200 meters above sea level [13779.52 feet]) to deposit these organic elements in said lake, as well as in Laguna de la Luna, where previous investigations had found remains of pre Hispanic objects.
The archaeologist Roberto Junco, co-director along with archaeologist Silvina Vigliani of the underwater Archaeology project in Nevado de Toluca, as well as Fernando Lozano, diving expert specializing in mountain water bodies, informed that finding the pieces is not easy. The bottom of the said Laguna Grande or del Sol, is turbid to which we also must add the presence phytoplankton, consequence of the introduction of trout in this ecosystem.
The Tlaloc scepters also speak of the ceremonial purpose of ascending to the Xinantecatl crater. The investigator Roberto Junco explained that pine trees and evergreens were selected and sectioned to elaborate these objects before reaching the lakes, since there are no trees in the highest part of the mountain.
As a place for worship, Nevado de Toluca was frequented from (at least) the year 650 to 900 AD (Late Classic period), this was also recently confirmed by the finding of ceramic pieces from this epoch.
More findings in the high mountain
The Nevado de Toluca project, undertaken about five years and a half ago, is not reduced to lake exploration. Their eagerness to understand elevation as a ritualistic space has driven them to select teams of archaeologists who systematically journey the surface of the high mountain.
In this occasion, the archaeologists of INAH also climbed some mountain peaks, among them the Sahagun, were they recovered small ceramic fragments as proof that these wild sites are also the reason for the offerings.
In high mountain archaeology the material is very scarce and eroded, said archaeologist Silvina Vigliani, who directs the surface exploration: In this case, the Sahagun peak has offered us more material since its more rounded, less rocky, and the absence of much vegetation protects these old ceramic elements.
Specialists Vigliani also said that another important finding in the project during 2012 was locating an apparently anthropomorphic and decapitated sculpture found at the north shore of Laguna de la Luna. The sculpture was found while archaeologists carried out topography work in the area. The carving of the stone stands out because of its sate of conservation.
The sculpture, along with stucco stones and smokers (sahumadores) located in previous explorations, perforations and the remains of petroglyphs in the rock that could represent a personage in a sitting position, indicates there was a momoxtli or circular structure 4 meters (13.12 feet) of diameter, immediate to said lagoon, for the realization of ceremonies. This structure was most likely placed during the apogee of the Teotenango lords, towards the Epiclassic period, 700-900 AD.
With this recent season, the Nevado de Toluca project, which represents the only underwater archaeology initiative in the world done at such heights, closes a cycle in the exploration of its water bodies while they wait for more intensive work in the lakes and on land.

The Mode Natie, at the corner of Antwerp's
Nationalestraat and Drukkerijstraat, is the creative
fashion heart of the city. The MoMu Fashion Museum,
the Fashion Academy and the Flanders Fashion
Institute, have all set up base here. The interior is
stripped-down, minimal, all very skeletal and austere.
Perhaps more Yohji than Yamamoto himself.
The Antwerp fashion scene is clustered in and around
Nationalestraat and serves as a source of inspiration
for the entire neighbourhood. Antwerp is known
worldwide for designers such as Raf Simons, Ann
Demeulemeester and Martin Margiela - all of whom
graduated from the Antwerp Academy of Arts.
If it's shopping you want to do, check out LOUIS on
Lombardenstraat, STEPHAN SCHNEIDER on Reyndersstraat,
LABELS INC on Aalmoezenierstraat or even the somewhat
hilarious FISH AND CHIPS on Kammenstraat.
As a working environment for the students it is very
intimate, intense. Anybody sitting in the entrance
area of this building will see the next generation of
designers floating by with their dreams, as reflected
in many of the daytime pictures seen here in FUSED.
Antwerp: beautiful girls on bikes,
beautiful boys with bobs. And Fanklub...

The debt ceiling
The liberals' belief that we can keep spending, increasing the "debt ceiling" repeatedly without regard for its intended purpose of preventing uncontrolled spending, is like the person maxxing out all the credit cards they can get in the belief that their fairy godmother will appear and bail them out – more likely, bankruptcy is the final result, for governments as well as individuals.
President Obama and the rest of the ultra-liberals would evidently like to eliminate opposition from pesky conservatives, especially Republicans, and turn our country into the type of socialism practiced in Greece.
The European Union Liberals have proven the truism that "socialism is great until they run out of other people's money"!
How long do the liberals (progressives) hope to borrow 40 percent of every dollar they're spending, raising taxes to pay the interest on our ever-increasing debt, before our "rich people" (anyone with a job and paying taxes) go the way of the "Goose That Laid Golden Eggs"?
If you're too young to understand this reference, ask an adult over 50, back when we used to spend only money we actually had.
The recent increase in the tax rate on the wealthy will be only a drop in the bucket in paying the interest, not to mention the horrendous debt.
How long do you think it will take our government to discover that they must raise the taxes on the middle class too they can continue their reckless spending?
The Republicans and concerned moderates should not give in on the debt ceiling unless the liberals agree to some meaningful spending reductions.
Please contact your congressmen – I'll be sending copies of this letter to them. Continued...

Better late than never
The last thing any driver needs is a vehicle that breaks down in cold, harsh winter weather.
It's not too late to have your vehicle checked, saving you from the cost and hassle of unexpected emergency repairs when severe weather strikes.
• Battery — Keep the battery connections clean, tight and corrosion-free.
Batteries don't always give warning signs before they fail completely so it's wise to replace batteries that are more than three years old.
• Antifreeze — Antifreeze (coolant) should be flushed and refilled at least every two years in most vehicles.
As a reminder, do not add 100 percent antifreeze as full-strength antifreeze actually has a lower freeze point than when mixed with water.
• Brakes — Have the brakes checked. The braking system is the vehicle's most important safety item and is key while driving on icy or snow-covered roads.
• Tires — Check the tire tread depth and tire pressure. Continued...
If snow and ice are a problem in your area, consider special tires designed to grip slick roads. During winter, tire pressure should be checked weekly as tires will lose pressure when temperatures drop.
• Oil — Be diligent about changing the oil and filter at recommended intervals.
Dirty oil can spell trouble in winter.
Consider changing to low-viscosity oil in winter, as it will flow more easily between moving parts when cold.
• Wiper Blades — Cold weather can affect the life of windshield wipers.
Wiper blades that are cracked or torn, or that chatter, streak and don't properly clean your windshield, should be changed. Check the windshield washer reservoir in case it needs fluid.
Be sure to keep your vehicle's gas tank at least half full as that decreases the chances of moisture forming in the gas lines and possibly freezing.
If you're due for a tune-up, consider having it done as winter weather magnifies existing problems such as pings, hard starts, sluggish performance or rough idling.
To help you drive smart and save money, visit www.carcare.org and check out the free digital Car Care Guide.

The Basics
Tom on Patch

About Tom
- E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Phone: 610-207-5472
- Hometown: Paoli, Pennsylvania
I'm the first born of a large family, a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, a fervent supporter of the Philadelphia Eagles, and a slow jogger. My girlfriend and I have been together for long enough that she's eager to get a title upgrade. During spare hours, I write about the NBA for ESPN.com and several of its affiliates.
Your Beliefs
At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable.
This disclosure is not a license for you to inject your beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that your beliefs are on the record will cause you to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know.
Politics: How would you describe your political beliefs
My political philosophy stems, at the most basic level, from a conviction that people get too much credit and blame for their circumstances. As such, I'm a registered Democrat, but hold heterodox views on education, trade, national security, and abortion. Like most voters these days, I probably dislike the other side more than I like my own. On the local level however, I tend to view most spending as frivolous, most regulations as needlessly burdensome, and find myself doing the most nodding when Republicans are talking.
Religion: How religious would you consider yourself?
I was raised Catholic, but am not presently practicing.
Local Hot-Button Issues: What do you think are the most important issues facing the community?
The most important issue facing this, or any other, community, is what is bought and how it's paid for. In an age when legions of municipalities across the country are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, I think it's important we live within our means.
That's on me Lynette. Thanks for the close read.

At Shapeways facility, order emerges from 3D-printed chaos
NEW YORK -- Looking at the diagram in front of me, which shows a pile of random things jumbled together, I can't help but think that I'm looking at the aftermath of something like a hurricane or a flood.
Actually, however, this is optimized organization of the highest order. It's a chart showing the dozens of item that will emerge in a little while from the 3D printer I'm standing next to.
Here at the Shapeways production facility in Queens, nine high-end 3D printers chug along continuously, churning out hundreds, or even thousands, of individual products … Read more

The Rev. Kimberly Barnes Named Pastor at Gethsemane AME Church
Thursday, 13 May 2010 14:47 Published in Religion Archive"This is my first pastorate and it is very humbling but at the same time very exciting," Barnes told the small congregation as she led her first service Sun., April 25.
"We have come open, excited, and a little nervous, but we are so excited about what God is going to do here at Gethsemane," she said.
Family members and friends joined Barnes and nearly 30 members of the Gethsemane congregation at the worship service currently held in the auditorium at Kenmoor Elementary School, 3211 82nd Avenue in Landover. Among them was the Rev. Marie Braxton, of Metropolitan AME Church in the District, where she co-pastors with her husband the Rev. Ronald Braxton.
"This is a new day for Gethsemane and for Metropolitan because we have had to send our baby out of the nest, and we know she is going to do great things for the Lord," Braxton said. Barnes joined Metropolitan 15 years ago and she has served with the Braxtons as the assistant pastor to Pastoral Care and Youth Ministry for 12 years.
"This is the day we had to let her go," Braxton said, before handing Barnes a preaching handkerchief as a gift for her new appointment.
"You know that in the ministry you have to walk a journey sometimes that will require you to shed some tears. Use it to preach and then use it to dry your tears. We've taken good care of her and she is prepared."
In addition to her ministry to young people, Barnes has extended her reach globally particularly in Africa where she has advocated on behalf of the people of Darfur in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Her advocacy led her to serve as the co-facilitator of the Darfur Interfaith Network, leading to events she has coordinated in the D.C. area, along with appearances on NBC4's Viewpoint. She coordinated a joint vigil between Metropolitan AME Church and Washington Hebrew Congregation in front of the Sudanese Embassy in the District in which 300 people participated.
Due to her activism on behalf of the people of Darfur, Barnes was nominated by the Washington Chapter of the American Jewish Committee to travel to Israel with a delegation of Protestant clergy. Her experience in Israel and Palestine further enhanced her commitment to humanitarian efforts.
As an advocate for the women of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, who have been victims of abuse with the recent war, Barnes participated in
the Third Black Women's International Congress in Kinshasa.
Barnes holds a Bachelor of Arts from Loyola Marymount University in Political Science and a minor degree in French. She holds a Master of Arts from Howard University in Political Science and graduated Magna Cum Laude. She also holds a Master of Divinity from Wesley Theological Seminary. She is enrolled at Wesley Theological Seminary in pursuit of a Doctor of Ministry.
She is married to the Rev. Rodney Barnes, a Washingtonian, who will serve as Gethsemane's assistant pastor. His ministerial responsibilities will include the men's ministry, music ministry and evangelism. He is also a member of the Montgomery County Police Department.
Same-Sex Marriage Law Upheld in Appeals Court
Thursday, 19 August 2010 15:21 Published in Religion ArchiveOrganization Says "The Institution of Family Suffered a Blow"
The District of Columbia Court of Appeals narrowly upheld same-sex marriages recently by ruling that the DC City Council was within its legal rights and negating the possibility of allowing District residents to vote on the matter. Bishop Harry Jackson and Rev. Anthony Evans argued forcefully for the opportunity to allow DC citizens to speak for themselves and sadly, lost.
The National Black Church Initiative, a coalition of 34,000 churches with 800 churches in DC alone, is frustrated by this loss but encouraged that the complainants will appeal this case to the U.S. Supreme Court in an effort to overturn this travesty.
Such a happening is what is in store for those lucky enough to catch a performance of "Monk The Play†every Sundays through June 28 at the Blair Mansion Restaurant in Takoma Park, Md.

Week of March 5 to March 11
March 6
1857 – Perhaps the most thoroughly racist decision ever rendered by a United States Supreme Court is released on this day in 1857 – Dred Scott v. Sanford. Scott and his wife Harriet had sued in St. Louis Circuit Court claiming they were free because their slave master had taken them from a slave state to the free territory of Missouri. However, in a majority opinion written by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney (a strong supporter of slavery) the Court ruled:
1) Blacks, be they slave or free, were not and could not be U.S. citizens and thus were not entitled to file suit in U.S. courts,
2) Denied Congress the power to restrict slavery by declaring the 1820 Missouri Compromise unconstitutional,
3) Declared that where the Constitution said "All men are created equal,†the phrase did not include Blacks, and
4) Told African Americans that they "had no rights the White man was bound to respect.â€
However, reflecting the law of unintended consequences, the Dred Scott decision was so harsh and so angered anti-slavery forces that it helped pave the way for the Civil War which ended all slavery in America.
March 7
1965 – On this day in Black history, the first leg of the Selma-to-Montgomery march is completed as thousands joined Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. in protesting racial injustice in Alabama. An earlier attempt to complete the march had been disrupted by a police attack. The Alabama National Guard was federalized and U.S. Army troops were called in to protect the marchers. It was shortly after this march that a White female supporter of the civil rights struggle, Viola Liuzzo , was shot and killed by Ku Klux Klan–style terrorists opposed to civil rights for Blacks.
March 9
1841 – The U.S. Supreme Court rules that Joseph Cinque and his fellow mutineers are free men. Along with several of his Mendi tribesmen, Cinque, son of an African king, had been captured and sold into slavery. But in 1839, he led a revolt on the Spanish slave ship Amistad, killed the captain and seized control of the ship. However, a U.S. military ship seized the Amistad off the coast of Long Island, N.Y. The seizure led to protracted court battles in which Cinque and his men were charged with murder. But in an unusual ruling for its day, the high court held, in effect, that the men had a human right to try to escape bondage and allowed them to return to Africa.
March 10
1913 – The "greatest conductor of the Underground Railroad†Harriet Tubman dies on this day in Auburn, N.Y. Born in slavery in Dorchester County, Md. in 1819 or 1820, Harriet was raised in harsh conditions including being whipped as a small child. As a child she was a person of strong will and principle. Around age 30, fearing she was about to be sold into the Deep South, Tubman escaped to Canada, but returned to Maryland on numerous occasions helping family members and over 300 other slaves escape to freedom via the Underground Railroad. She frequently threatened to shoot any slave who became frightened and wanted to turn back.
March 11
1959 – Lorraine Hansberry's play, "A Raisin in the Sun,†opens on Broadway at the Barrymore Theatre with Sidney Poitier and Claudia McNeil in the starring roles. With 530 performances, the play became the longest running African American written play in Broadway history. It was also the first Broadway hit written by an African American woman. It became a movie in 1961. Hansberry's promising career was cut short by cancer in 1965. She was only 34.

Mack Lankford Earns Another Player Of The Week Award
By: Melanie Robotham, LSC Assistant Commissioner
Updated: February 12, 2013
Lankford, who was hurt earlier in the week at Commerce, finished with 31 points Saturday in an 86-70 win over Tarleton State.
The victory pushed the Wildcats ahead of the TexAnns for second place in the Lone Star Conference.
Lankford's effort vs. Tarleton marked the second-best scoring game of her career behind a 38-point effort against Texas A&M-Kingsville on Feb. 19, 2012. Against the TexAnns, Lankford poured in 25 first-half points on 7 of 9 shooting, including 5 of 7 from 3-point range.
She was also 6 of 7 from the free throw line, pulled down four rebounds and had one assist in 16 minutes of play. With Tarleton's defense concentrating even more on Lankford in the second half, she had just six points in 14 minutes, but that allowed Whitney West (eight points), Kelsey Smith (nine points) and Sadie Dickinson (five points) to take over the scoring load for the Wildcats, who beat Tarleton State for the first time since 2009.

The financial and economic crisis, of which we have heard so much discussion since 2007-8, is only one aspect of a whole series of underlying political trends which have been apparent for much longer: a crisis of (in)equality and of increased precarity of the workforce, a human rights crisis, a demographic crisis, an ecological crisis, a crisis in civil liberties, and above all a crisis in democracy.

Students attending the Scotland County NAACP's back-to-school bash this weekend will learn that there's more to success than following the sage advice to "stay in school."
Dr. James McLauchlin, a retired Air Force officer and educator and current member of the Cumberland County Board of Education, will be the featured speaker at Saturday's event.
"I want to talk to them about the value of staying in school - not only staying in school but making the best of it," said McLauchlin.
A native of Fayetteville, McLauchlin holds a doctorate from South Carolina State University and holds the distinction of being the first African-American to circumnavigate the globe nonstop. In 1981, while still a navigator in the Air Force, McLauchlin travelled as part of a mission to fly over Iran during the Iran Hostage Crisis.
"It was an operational mission - we weren't just doing it for show," said McLauchlin. "I went with a crew and we took off from an Air Force base in Michigan in two planes. We took off from Michigan and headed east over the Atlantic, over Europe and the Middle East, down over the Indian Ocean, over the Pacific and then landed."
The flight, made by two B-52 aircraft, took just over 46 hours and required five in-air refuelings. McLauchlin retired from the Air Force in 1988. His subsequent transition to education, he said, came "quite by accident."
"I was going to retire and I didn't exactly know what I was going to do and there was a job opening in Fayetteville, my hometown, teaching ROTC," said McLauchlin
He took the job at E.E. Smith High School in Fayetteville, later earning two master's degrees and a doctorate and becoming an assistant principal at Western Harnett High School. McLauchlin ultimately retired as a middle school principal in Hoke County. He has served one full term on the Cumberland County Board of Education and will run unopposed for a second term in November.
While many students are told simply to stay in school, McLauchlin's speech is expected to encourage them to set their sights higher than that.
"The objective should not be just to stay in school," said McLauchlin. "So many finish high school and are almost unemployable because they have not acquired the skills they need to be competitive."
Providing examples such as Dr. Benjamin Carson, who struggled with academics as early as third grade but is now head of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, McLauchlin tries to show students that there is merit in performing well in school.
"There are some kids who are not dropouts, they still go to school every day, but they should not only go to school," McLauchlin said. "While you're there, you need to make sure you make the best possible grades, learn all you can learn, and go to the top of your class."
The NAACP back-to-school bash will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday at I. Ellis Johnson Elementary School. Some 1,000 students are expected to attend the event, all of whom will receive free school supplies.

Growing up, I had the opportunity to watch the Mariners play just a handful of times. If my mom managed to drag me to more than ten games in my childhood, it didn't stick in my memory. I routinely brought books to the park and fought with my sister over cracker jacks and which color hydro was likely to win each race on the DiamondVision screen.
In my teen years, I continued to distance myself from baseball. I couldn't tell you that a game lasts nine innings, what responsibilities an umpire carries, or even that the point of baseball is to score runs. I knew only two things: the Mariners sucked, and they had Ichiro Suzuki.
Now, those two things weren't related in my head. I knew that Ichiro was the star of the team, their only decent player, and the main reason that Mariners fans were, well, Mariners fans.
I didn't know about his ten consecutive Gold Gloves and All-Star appearances, his 262-hit record, or his influence in bridging the worlds of American and Japanese baseball. I was aware of the hype without comprehending his legacy.
Yesterday, that changed.
When I first saw the barrage of "ICHIRO TO THE YANKEES!!!11!" tweets flooding my phone, I nearly laughed. Surely that was a joke. Surely even the Mariners, trying so very hard to sink even lower in the AL West standings, knew that some players in their franchise were off-limits.
Within minutes, however, confirmation of the trade was received, and I collapsed on the stairs of my house and cried. While my reaction may have stemmed from pure shock—had the Mariners traded Felix Hernandez, I don't think I could've been more stunned—there is a part of me that remains sentimental about all that Ichiro symbolizes to this city and this team.
Of course, my practical side has since kicked in, the part of me that acknowledges the upside of this trade. We will never see the Ken Griffey Jr. situation repeated with Ichiro. During Mariners-Yankees home games, Ichiro will never be booed as ferociously as A-Rod. We will not have to agonize, as Jay Buhner did, about the front office blocking the development of younger players and foolishly trying to wring every hit out of Ichiro before his retirement.
Although I am excited about the new possibilities opening up for Seattle, Ichiro's presence will be dearly missed at Safeco Field. It might never cease to be strange watching him take the field with the Yankees, clean shaven, wearing Dave Winfield's #31 instead of his own #51. And while I wish him well in New York as he hunts down the elusive championship ring, I look forward to the day when he dons a Mariners cap for his induction to the Hall of Fame.
Best of luck, Ichiro. Thank you for all you've done to inspire and fuel this franchise, and for ending your career in Seattle as graciously as you began it.

Our family of 5 stayed here mid-February for a week. We had our 3 young children, ages 5, 3 and 7 months. This resort definitely caters to French tourists.... They even have French shows at night. The family room had three barely queen-sized beds, in two rooms. It also had two full bathrooms (showers, no bathtubs). The bathrooms definitely needed improvements, but were functional. During the weekend the water pressure was horrible! If you got any reasonable pressure with hot water, I'd be surprised! The beach was well kept and beautiful, but the waves were wayyyy to choppy for my children to go in.The three big pools were shallow enough and large, very nice. Finding a couple of chairs in the late morning was impossible. The worst thing about this hotel is that getting beach towels is impossible. No customer service at this hotel when it comes to beach towels!! The grounds were very well kept. The 'Royal vacations for life' 'timeshare-ish' guys are annoying. The food is ok. The fried chicken (tastes like KFC and Popeyes combined) at lunch on the beach grill is amazing! If you have small stroller children request a ground floor. They put us on the third floor with no elevator!!!!!! We requested a new room but didn't bother because we had settled in (we arrived at 10 at night). Overall, it's a decent hotel with some drawbacks. Definitely not a four star. Would I go back? With so many more hotels to choose from, probably not. รีวิวโดยผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com เมื่อ 22 ก.พ. 2013

Next month, any Garage Punkers near the vicinity of Belgium owe it to themselves to check out SJOCK 37. Such a great line up of music (although Fifty Foot Combo was a late cancellation). For three days you can listen to fabulous bands and buy cool records... heaven! It's killing me that I am unable to attend. Any post festival information and/or photos would be greatly appreciated!
Tags: Garage, country, psychobilly, rockabilly
Fuck yeah! Anyone around Cologne or Düsseldorf or Ruhrgebiet who wants to share a ride over let me know.
been there twice and played there once ! really great fest !! human size, fun and cheap !
for the infos, there's a small familial camping 1km from the fest site on the same road which have showers, and it is quite cheap and calm.
Anyone attenting this year's SJOCK festival take note; The Sonics cancelled and are replaced by The Fuzztones... Pretty cool!

Time scale of the atom |
Share Thread |

Time scale of the atom
I am reading about the force of a coherent EM-beam acting upon an atom, and I have a question in this regard. It is regarding the explanation on page 150 of this book, starting from "The geometric approximation of atom optics is valid when": http://books.google.dk/books?id=SUBH...20atom&f=false. It is only the first part of that page. As far as I understand, what they try to tell us is that in order to treat the atom as a classical particle, the time it takes for the internal state to change (1/Gamma) has to be very short compared to the time it takes for the external dynamics to change. That is at least what the inequality says. Physically I don't see why this condition must be satisfied. Does it simply mean that the atom has to be in equilibrium at all times? Best regards, Niles. |
Mar1-12, 07:57 AM | #2 |
I can't see the page of the book, but your understanding is correct.
Another way to look at this is to consider the energy scale of things. [itex] E = \hbar \omega = \frac{h}{T}[/itex] If the time scale of the atom is much faster than the external perturbation, then the perturbation will be on a much smaller energy scale than what's going on in the atom. Hence the atom will not be affected significantly. This is of course not an exact relation, it just gives you a rule of thumb of what is relevant and what can be neglected. |
Mar1-12, 11:32 AM | #3 |
Thanks for replying. That relation makes good sense. Maybe this link works better (it is on page 150 of the book): http://books.google.dk/books?id=SUBH...page&q&f=false
The authors mention that this corresponds to the internal atomic dynamics following the center-of-mass motion of the atom adiabatically. When I hear "adiabatic", I would believe that it means that the atom is in the same internal state during its center-of-mass motion. The above inequality states that the internal dynamics are very fast, so isn't it wrong to say that there is adiabatic following? It is the opposite of adiabatic following, since the internal state changes very fast during the external motion (?). Thanks in advance. Best, Niles. |
Mar1-12, 11:57 AM | #4 |
Time scale of the atom
OK, that link works.
adiabatic in this context means without transfer of energy. Note the formula they give, [itex]\omega_{\mathrm{rec}} = \frac{\hbar k^2}{2m} \ll \Gamma[/itex] If you multiply both sides (all 3 sides :-) ) by [itex]\hbar[/itex], the formula compares 3 energies. [itex]\frac{\hbar^2 k^2}{2m}[/itex] is a kinetic energy [itex]\hbar \omega[/itex] is the energy of an oscillator or wave (written as such to derive a characteristic time scale from the energy) [itex]\hbar \Gamma[/itex] is the width of an emission line (for example), which is finite because of the finite life time of the initial state. |
Mar1-12, 12:51 PM | #5 |
Does it refer to the fact that the spontaneously emitted photons (characterized by [itex]\Gamma^{-1}[/itex]) are emitted *much* faster than the atom moves, so their effect is zero on average since they are emitted so often? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Niles. |
Mar2-12, 02:42 AM | #6 |
The concept of adiabatic changes is not limited to the quantum world. Think of the characteristic frequency of the atom as a resonance. A weight on a spring for example, has a natural frequency. Hold the spring in your hand and let the weight bounce up and down. If you move your hand rapidly, the oscillation amplitude will increase. If you move your hand very slowly (on a time scale much slower than the oscillation period), the amplitude will not change noticably. |
Mar3-12, 05:11 PM | #7 |
To use M Quack's example, imagine that you have a spring in your hand with a weight attached. The spring has some damping and the you can move your hand around in a spatially varying gravitational field.
You know that the equilibrium position of the spring depends on the local gravitational field. You also know that because of the damping the spring will reach this equilibrium position in a time that is roughly 1/(decay rate) provided you hold your hand still. But suppose your hand does move slowly. A question you could ask is, how slowly should your hand move so that the spring is always in local equilibrium. It's reasonable to suppose that you would want a large decay rate compared to the timescale of hand motion so that you are effectively sitting in one place for much longer than it takes to reach equilbrium. However, I'm also not sure this is precisely what this book is talking about. Looking at page 150 just above section 6.3, the book states that [itex] \omega_{rec} \ll \Gamma [/itex] which implies that [itex] 1/\Gamma \ll 1/\omega_{rec} [/itex]. However, just below that they state the internal timescale [itex] 1/\Gamma [/itex] should be MUCH SLOWER than the external timescale [itex] 1/\omega_{rec} [/itex]. I would interpret much slower to mean the internal time scale is longer than the external timescale, which gives the opposite inequality. Perhaps I misread or misunderstood or perhaps they meant much shorter? |
Mar3-12, 06:01 PM | #8 |
Thanks for both your explanations of the mass-spring-hand system. It is a good analogy of the system Best wishes, Niles. |
Mar4-12, 02:21 AM | #9 |
As for the mass-spring example, just try it out. Btw, it also works with a pendulum. If you wait much longer than the damping time, the everything will be in the ground state, no matter where you started. But if you move slowly compared to the oscillation period, the state of the oscillator will not change significantly, even if it is already in motion. |
Mar4-12, 04:22 AM | #10 |
Just found this here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiabatic_theorem Obviously, in a classical system there is no energy gap. |
Mar4-12, 07:40 AM | #11 |
I think it is correct to say that in our case, the adiabatic approximation ultimately means that the external perturbation does not perturb the resonance condition of the atom. Best, Niles. |
Mar4-12, 08:41 AM | #12 |
Mar5-12, 05:07 AM | #13 |
Thanks to both of you, I learned a lot from this.
Best, Niles. |

My pleasure. It is always nice to see a qualified question that is not just a homework problem :-)

Dear Spring community,
I'm pleased to announce that Spring Web Services 2.1.0.RC1 has been released!
This is the first Release Candidate in the 2.1 release cycle. It mainly consists of necessary upgrades to third party dependencies. Specifically:
- WSS4J has been upgraded to 1.6.
- XmlSchema has been upgraded to 2.0
- Support for Apache HttpClient 4.0
- JDOM has been upgraded to 2.0
and various other minor library upgrades.
Some of the library upgrades contain changes that are not backwards compatible. As such, you might be required to change your code and/or configuration as a consequence. More specifically:
- SpringDigestPasswordValidationCallbackHandler and SpringPlainTestPasswordValidationCallbackHandler have been merged into SpringSecurityPasswordValidationCallbackHandler, which works the same way as the SpringDigestPasswordValidationCallbackHandler (i.e. supply it with a UserDetailsService).
- The Wss4jSecurityInterceptor no longer has the securementCallbackHandler property, as it's no longer used by WSS4J.
- JDOM 2.0 changed the package name from org.jdom.x to org.jdom2.x. Make sure to switch to this new package when using JDOM in combination with @RequestBody/@ResponseBody as well as the AbstractJDomPayloadEndpoint.
If you come across any other migration issues, please post a reply on this thread, or file a JIRA.
Note that there were no milestone releases before this RC: it is a library upgrade release only.
Please see the changelog for more details.
Note that this release will not become available on Maven Central, as it's a release candidate. It is available through own download page and our maven milestone repository:
Individual dependencies can then by added like so:Code:<repository> <id>spring-milestone</id> <name>Spring Milestone Repository</name> <url>http://maven.springframework.org/milestone</url> </repository>
For more information, refer toCode:<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.ws</groupId> <artifactId>spring-ws-core</artifactId> <version>2.1.0.RC1</version> </dependency>

Discover virtual entrepreneurship by building a career using skills you already have.
Sounds great! I really appreciate that and will keep you in mind if I'm in need of a VA with a particular skill!
Thanks Sue!
With more than 20 years of experience as an administrative professional, I am a full-service Executive Virtual Assistant business provider based out of the Greater Philadelphia area, and love what I do!
One of my goals is creating a network of people with diverse skills so that I can grow into a position to start sub-contracting work.
The course is given out of Red Deer College, Alberta. It is a vitual class so I have to sit in. The first semester started last September and included the following: Monday-Document Formatting (Word), Tuesdays-Marketing, Wednesdays-How to Start a Successful VA business, Thursdays-Accounting (which was the hardest one for me). I just started second semester last week which includes: Mondays-Desktop Publishing, Tuesdays-Web Design, Wednesdays-Communication, Thursdays-Simply Accounting. The third semester will include the following: Mondays and Wednesdays-Office Management Virtual Business and Tuesdays and Thursdays will be a practicum. All will be finished by June. Then I can open my doors for business although if I could start before that would be great too. I also took a mini course and I have a Virtual Event Specialist Certificate.
When I click on "Choose File" and my pic comes up, the page tells me to "Select the visible portion of the picture" When I click on the picture, it does nothing but highlight.
Hi Sue, having trouble uploading my profile pic.
Hi Sue,
Thank you for the post, you're right its been a while and will update my profile. I have a lot of things to add and updates.....first of all I need to update my picture....It hasn't changed much.....but will get that going soon....as Ed Sullivan would say, "There's more to come".
Thanks Sue! I look forward to chatting with you and exploring this site!
Thank you so much for the warm welcome I look forward to being part of this group and working with you.

The Millen [strike]era[/strike] mess is over! 0 and 3 in the 08 season having surrendered ~110 pts over 3 games. Thank you Bill Ford for outing that dork. The Lion org. isn't out of the woods yet as much washing needs to be done. They must get a proven GM. And they're not many to choose from. - Da Bear got lucky last week holding off the Eagle. The Eagle won every phase of the game but scoreboard. Orton, who has beaten us twice, is now the starter. He is considered a good game manager. - The Lions can't get near the oppossing RB before he runs for a first down. Some of that is poor Defensive playcalling. Bears 35 Lion 22
I despise the Bears. All bears. Chicago Bears Grizzly Bears Black Bears Russian Dancing Bears Teddy Bears Polar Bears California Bears Even Pandas! (kinda like a sad bear)
Until Ford deems it a good thing to hire out instead of inhouse or offthewall, consider this season done. I will tell you guys something interesting, more and more info is going to come out that shows Millen was only a part of the problem. Millen should take the blame in a lot of areas (scouting, drafts) but not all of it.
I looked at a map yesterday, and Colorado is more south than I thought it was, and Montana was more north than I thought it was. So then I thought, Montana, north, borders Saskatchewan and Alberta. I like Montana. So no, I don't hate anything or anyone in Montana.
I hate the BareNakedLadies. Unless, of course we are talking about actual ladies... I like them, just not that goofy band.
Zark it's kinda like WCFord is suffering from alzheimer's and all the family is just swindling him because they're demented to. "Fall of the House of Usher" - I hope FoMoCo is in better hands !
Until the Oline started to cost too much. Lost Glover, Lomas Brown, and Hartings because they insisted to go cheap--and eventually Barry.
I've seen enough of Kitna. It's time to see what Stanton can do. Kitna creates absolutely NOTHING himself. He stays in the pocket too long, doesn't step up to avoid pressure, refuses to run when there is an opportunity and blames everyone else for everything.
This team is so incredibly bad. Talent wise. Mental toughness wise. Coaching. Preparation. Execution. They absolutely suck at every single aspect of the game. I'm not even surprised or upset by it anymore. It just is. This team finds new and embarrassing ways to lose each and every week.
Time for Marinelli and Kitna to go now....maybe that will shake up a few players to perform better. Right now they are headed for top 3 pick in the draft.....good thing, Millen won't be there to pick it. The season is pretty much over if they lose the next two games, so might as well bench Kitna and play Stanton or Olovsky and find out if they are the future. If neither can cut it, look for a QB with that top 3 or 4 pick if there is one available and has better upside than what we got.
I think if they get decent protection, either Orlovsky or Stanton will do as well as can be expected under the circumstances. I really think Stanton is going to be a stud, if given a fair chance.
I say go with Stanton right now. Forget Orlovsky. Orlovsky ain't exactly quick. Neither Orlovsky nor Kitna can put the D on its heels.
I'm hoping the Lions put in Orlovsky over Stanton today because the game was already out of hand and didn't want to risk injury or a confidence blow to Stanton. But they are idiots...so who knows?
Doesn't matter who the QB is. Remember...The time of posession was 38 minutes for Da Bears and 22 minutes for Da Lions. No QB can win with that much time. Defense has to get off the field. Marenilli has to clear out his locker.
