The two young light-heavyweights competing for a six-figure contract, Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar, had just brought celebrity fans such as Busta Rhymes and Kevin James roaring to their feet with a bloody, evenly matched slugfest. (Related video: Clips from 'The Ultimate Fighter')
This was the first time White's mixed martial arts operation had aired live on basic cable TV. Should the president and co-owner of the Ultimate Fighting Championship hand out one contract? Or was a little showmanship in order during the UFC's coming-out party with many sports fans?
Title: President and part-owner of Ultimate Fighting Championship. Co-host of Spike TV reality show The Ultimate Fighter. Age: 34. Born in Manchester, Conn.; grew up in Las Vegas, Boston and Levant, Maine. Personal: Married to Anne. Two sons: Dana III and Aidan. Education: Attended University of Massachusetts Boston for two years. Career: Has been an amateur boxer, trainer, fight manager and promoter. Founded Dana White Enterprises in Las Vegas in 1992. Coached and managed pro boxers and UFC fighters and ran three gyms. In 2001, he teamed with gaming operators Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta III to buy troubled UFC through privately held firm Zuffa. Interests: Established a boxing program for inner-city youth in Boston. A mixed martial artist, White likes training and sparring. Enjoys checking out new music for Zuffa Music record label. Calls the Boston Red Sox World Series victory the "greatest moment in sports history." Quote: "Nothing should be more important to a man than how he raises his kids. That means the world to me."
"There is no loser in this fight," White told more than 2 million viewers on Viacom's network for young guys as he handed both fighters deals.
White is a former amateur boxer turned Las Vegas entrepreneur behind the improbable comeback of "ultimate fighting," which pits boxers, wrestlers, karate and jiu-jitsu artists in often-brutal matches inside a caged, eight-sided ring known as the "Octagon."
Attacking the then-out-of-control sport as "barbaric" and "human cockfighting," critics such as Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., virtually drove UFC events off pay TV in the 1990s. The league was on the mat. But White, after joining with partners to take it over in 2001, cleaned it up and brought it back from the dead in just four years.
Now, at a time when federal decency hawks are on the warpath for sexual or violent programming, White has managed to make his first-season reality show of extreme fighting and scantily clad "Ring Girls" into must-see cable TV for an army of young men.
Despite an 11:05 p.m. ET/PT Monday slot on Spike TV, the average audience grew 19% to 1.98 million through the first 12 weeks of the 13-week show, according to Nielsen Media Research. The elusive, advertiser-coveted audience of men ages 18 to 34 is up 55% since the Jan. 17 opening. Viewers are 73% male, with an average age of 30. Advertisers include Miller, Nintendo and the U.S. Army.
White now is negotiating with Spike for second and third seasons. He also has signed a deal with News Corp.'s Fox Sports Net to replay taped UFC fights four times a year. Revenue for the league's flagship pay-per-view live events in the USA and 36 countries is up twentyfold in four years.
White's long-term goal: supplant boxing as America's martial art. "Boxing has become your father's sport," he says in an interview from his Las Vegas headquarters. "We're what the new generation is watching. We're the most extreme of extreme sports."
At age 34, with a shaved head and fighter's build, White still likes to mix it up in the gym. As a kid, he never missed USA Network's Tuesday Night Fights boxing. Now, he hopes to launch a live weekly UFC fight show on prime-time cable.
"We've proven we can draw a number at 11:05 p.m. on Monday nights," White says. "I guarantee you Spike is thinking, 'What would these guys draw at 9 p.m.?' "
Critics worry about influence on kids
Sure to oppose that are plenty of critics who still see ultimate fighting as modern-day gladiatorial combat.
Sports consultant David Carter calls it "train wreck TV," where viewers tune in for carnage.
Phil Mushnick, a sports columnist for the New York Post, accuses Spike executives of peddling violent, anti-social fare they'd never show their kids. "Ultimate fighting sells kids on violence. Does anyone think we need more violence?" he asks. "A show like this would not have been on TV in the past because it was inappropriate. Now, it's on TV because it's inappropriate."
White is quick to point out that, unlike boxing's record, no UFC fighters have died or suffered a serious injury in its 12-year history.
"Guys are going to break bones or noses. A serious injury to me is a guy who can't walk, has brain damage or who is Million Dollar Baby-ed," he says, referring to Hilary Swank's paralyzed boxer in Clint Eastwood's Oscar-winning film.
Born in Manchester, Conn., White is a fierce Boston Red Sox fan. During an often troubled youth, he bounced back and forth between Las Vegas and Maine. He tried college for two years in Boston but didn't finish. He got himself on track there, however, by launching a boxing program for inner-city kids. Back in Las Vegas, he founded the sports management firm Dana White Enterprises in 1992 and still owns three boxing gyms.
As a manager and trainer for pro boxers and UFC fighters such as Chuck Liddell, White often found himself negotiating with the freewheeling original owners of UFC, which they founded in 1993. When they were ready to sell, White enlisted friends and Las Vegas-based Station Casinos executives Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta III to buy UFC in January 2001. They would not disclose the price for the league, which now is privately held by Zuffa (Italian for a "scrap"). White owns 10%; the Fertittas hold the rest.
Building a better brand
As the league's president, White wears a lot of hats. He directs all operations, including broadcast production, fight cards and financial and legal affairs. He stresses the importance of building the UFC brand every day, drawing a contrast with boxing, which he says gets attention only when the biggest names step in the ring. His UFC "Ultimate Knockout" DVDs and tapes rank among top-selling sports videos at such retailers as Wal-Mart. He's pushing UFC-themed video games, CDs, T-shirts and hats. He's even producing a UFC-themed movie by John Herzfeld, director of Don King: Only In America. Playing the Donald Trump role on his Spike reality show has made White a local Las Vegas celebrity. But his soft-spoken and thoughtful TV persona comes off in person brassier and more like the aggressive promoter he is.
During talks with Viacom executives, he has been known to stand up and loom over his opponent like a fighter itching for the bell to ring. "Dana is a showman. He knows how to make a point," says Kevin Kay, Spike TV's executive vice president of programming.
Besides looking at renewing Ultimate Fighter, Spike is mining White's library of 600 fights for taped specials and is considering live events. "We think we're on to the next big emerging sport," Kay says.
The UFC was conceived as a one-shot, pay-per-view event in 1993, which set the tone for the future when a fighter was kicked so hard that teeth flew out of the ring. It was a hit.
The owners touted the bare-knuckle fights as death sport: virtually no rules, no judges, no time limits. Its slogan: "Two men enter the Octagon, one man leaves."
As criticism mounted, U.S. cable operators stopped airing UFC pay-per-view events in 1997. By the time White took over in January 2001, it was reduced to an underground fight club on satellite TV.
White's first move was a road show for U.S. cable operators pledging changes. He sold them, and his new and improved UFC returned to pay-per-view cable that September. The company has since regained its license for live events in five states: Nevada, New Jersey, Florida, Massachusetts and Louisiana.
White believes the failure of the original UFC was "99%" due to bad marketing rather than mayhem. If the original UFC ran from regulators, the new UFC runs "toward regulating," he says.
Rules aim to make a sport out of chaos
White's reorganized UFC is more like boxing than the blood sport of a decade ago. He has weight classes, five-minute rounds and time limits. Judges use 10-point scoring. Fighters wear gloves and mouthpieces. And yes, there's mandatory drug and steroid testing.
White has instituted rules to moderate the made-for-TV brutality: no attacks to the groin, spine or throat; no head butting, biting, eye-gouging or hair pulling; and no kicking a foe when he's down.
"When (UFC) first started, we could not sanction it because it was no holds barred, anything goes," says Marc Ratner, executive director of the Nevada Athletic Commission. "Now, it's a real sport. And we're delighted to have it here."
The purses are still small compared with big-time boxing: Light-heavyweight champ Randy Couture, 42, earned $225,00 for winning a title fight last fall.
But "UFC 52" on April 16, pitting Ultimate Fightercoaches Couture and Liddell at the MGM Grand, is on track to be UFC's biggest, with a live gate expected to hit $3 million, vs. $225,000 for White's first event in 2001. The top ticket has doubled to $400.
Whether the UFC is the sport of the future, as White believes, or the end of civilization as we know it, as critics warn, White is not surprised by its recent success: "When we first bought this company, nobody thought it would get back on pay per view. It did. Nobody thought we would get sanctioned by every athletic commission in the country you'd want to go to. It did. Nobody ever thought it would get on free TV. It is."

About Sifnos
On the western edge of the Cyclades, Sifnos is one of the quieter, and yet somehow most enchanting islands in the group. The best places to stay in Sifnos reflect this peace and tranquility, you'll not find many large beach resorts here!
There's a wonderfully changeable light on Sifnos, and the seas sparkle brilliantly. Below the string of villages are olive terraces, almond trees and ridges rich with herbs and wildflowers. And below that bays, harbours and that sparkly blue water.
Whitewashed villages sit atop the island's spine and there are rustic foot-trails between them.
The main villages are clustered together around the capital, Apollonia. There are plenty of shops and tavernas here, and an interesting Folk Art Museum.
Artemonas, which is further up the hill, has the best examples of that white cubist Cycladic architecture.
But for something quite special visit, or stay in, Kastro, the island's medieval capital. Beautiful and unspoiled - complete with Roman sarcophagi and ancient columns built into some of the lanes and houses - this spot also has wonderful hilltop views. And a small archaeological museum.
Just south of Apollonia is a well excavated Mycenaean acropolis.
Most ferries land on the island's western side, which is the rugged, rocky side. The eastern side is greener, with a more gently undulating landscape, and this is where most of the best places to stay on Sifnos can be found.
If you're here for the beaches there are plenty of choices - in fact there's a blue flag beach right by the ferry terminal. But Vathi Beach is one of the best on the island - a long sweep of sandy, clear-watered bay. It's a public beach, so pop in anytime.
Sifnos's ancient wealth came from gold and silver mines, and the kind of clay which makes beautiful pottery. The mines have been mined out, but the island still produces some wonderful pottery. These days there's also a big market in basket weaving, and food. So if you want to learn to cook on a Greek island, this is the place to come!
Between October and Easter the island is pretty much closed for business, but in high season it fills up, so book early - including your ferry trip over.
- Sifnos is quite popular with well-to-do Athenians, and the Petali Village Hotel is one of the places they like to book up. There are only eleven rooms, and not a corner cut anywhere - from the white tiled floors and marble bathrooms to the added extras, like fluffy bathrobes and satellite TV. And the restaurant on the terrace is one of the best on the island.
Still undecided? Browse through our list of all the best places to stay on Sifnos, or contact, one of our friendly gurus for advice. Alternatively take a look at all our recommendations in the Cyclades.

What We're Learning From Jimmy The Robot
Posted by Dr. Srinivas Padmanabhuni (View Profile | View All Posts) at 6:52 AM
Robot Has New 'Applications' for Technology [Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i-gRmlvI8I]
One square inch. That's the size of the circuit board that powers a marvelous new device called Electric Imp.
Electric Imp - it's small and cheap (about US$30) and hooks into its own Cloud. The Imp connects to the Cloud via a wireless network router. A hobbyist or someone wanting to start a small business can use this product to connect whatever devices he wants to the Internet and control them accordingly. Is it any wonder that the Imp's creator used to work on the iPhone? He was trying to find a better way to formulate a Cloud-based system that would allow him to turn the lights on and off in his home when he invented this small Wi-Fi card.
What's fascinating about the story of the Electric Imp, is the democratization of technology.
Another testament to this democratization is Jimmy. Jimmy's not a real person - he's a robot. But he's a product of the Intel Corp., which plans to sell Jimmy later this year. Recently, in New York City, Intel put Jimmy on display and it reminded me once again of how promising and powerful the Internet of Things (IoT) will become.
An Intel employee at the company's Future Showcase 2014 said that robots will someday become as commonplace as the Internet. The reason, I think, is that the Internet will run robots. As the Internet of Everything allows us to connect to everything from our climate control systems to household appliances, we'll look at robotics differently than we have in the past. Because people can make robots with 3D printers, they're going to become more accessible and part of the IoT story as it plays out. I might want to build a robot that takes commands remotely and fetches my slippers. You might want one that turns on the lights before you enter a room. Whatever the intended task, you design the machine to perform those tasks as optimally as possible and then simply attach them to an Intel-provided skeleton.
IoT is essentially breaking down the barriers between robotics and the manufacturing of household appliances. Because of an Internet connection to a Cloud, data goes out but it also comes in. Any device becomes smart from such a connection. It learns how to operate - dare I say "behave" - based on the data it receives back from the Cloud. Given the right schematics and design, I have no doubt that consumers will be creating their own walking coffee makers. Imagine having your first cup of the day delivered to you at bedside by a robot whose arms and legs you created off a 3D printer.
We can learn a lot from Jimmy. Cloud-connected hardware is going to transform the world quicker than we think. And the interest in connected appliances like Jimmy is going to create tremendous consumer demand to which technology enterprises should be catering. If the average consumer can create and operate a robot that performs menial tasks, then the large organization will be able to engineer vast solutions and systems that will streamline the business world.
While we are really looking at this exciting new world of IoT with cloud connected hardware, due consideration is also being paid to critical issues of privacy, and information protection, a key consideration which needs to be simultaneously looked alongside the myriad possibilities of this technology.
Over all it is exciting enough to conjecture that we're only at the beginning of this industrial transformation.

One of the dreams of the Daughters of Mary and Joseph in Uganda came true in recent weeks the opening of a new school Coloma Primary School. The school has begun with three classes first, second and third and to date 65 pupils have been registered.
Sr Eillen with Sr Mona and friends at new Roscrea Classroom in Uganda
In December 2009 Kathleen and Tim Maher of Annegrove visited Uganda and saw Coloma Primary School as it was then. The classrooms were built but stood empty of desks, chairs and furnishing of any kind. The people of Roscrea have always been very generous and supportive of our educational projects in Uganda and once again took up the task of furnishing the room for first class. This is now called ROSCREA ROOM
A lorry arrives with the new furniture for the Roscrea classroom
We thank all those who organised, contributed to and supported the raffle held in the Credit Union in December towards providing support for the purchase of the furniture. We thank also the Manager and staff of the Credit Union for offering the facilities for this raffle to take place. It was an outstanding success and overall the fund for the furniture reached over Euro 2,500. What a credit to the people of Roscrea and an honour to be associated with. The money surpassed all our expectations and so we have not only been able to furnish first class room but also have managed to get 40 chairs, 16 tables, a cupboard and bookshelf for the second class room. We are very grateful to you all. As you can imagine there was great excitement as the furniture arrived at the school.
At the moment there are 32 pupils in 1st class, 18 in 2nd and 15 in 3rd and the school is in full swing. Uganda has many orphans due to the Aids epidemic in the country so we are caring for 24 orphans or children from vulnerable homes. Most of these children have been cared for by grandmothers who are old and with little or no support for the children. We have accepted them into the school and are provided totally for them mattress, blanket, bedsheets, basin, cup, plate, uniform, scholastic materials etc together with their fees and maintenance. These children are a special concern for us and we hope to extend our orphans programme as our sponsorship increases.
Students enjoying their new surroundings in the Roscrea Classroom
Boarding schools are essential in Uganda where distances are so great. Normally after school children have to take care of goats and sheep, collect firewood, cook supper and look after a baby. With no light study is impossible for day students. This may sound strange in Ireland but parents really want to put their children in boarding school from a young age where they will get a good solid and basic foundation in education. It is truly amazing to see 5 to 8 year olds bathing themselves, making their beds and washing their uniform and clothes all be hand. However they do also have plenty of time for play and enjoying themselves.
At such a tender age there is much need of care and mothering of these children so a high number of staff, teaching and non-teaching staff are employed matrons, cooks, school nurse, compound caretakers and watchmen. Compared to Ireland the diet is very dull, maize and beans for lunch and supper for 5 days, with rice or bananas with beans for the other 2 days. For a treat every Sunday morning the children each get a boiled egg and once a term they will get meat. Yet on this diet the children are healthy and happy.
Being a boarding school gives great opportunity for extra curricular activities sports, music and craft are already well established. Parents and visitors are welcome at any time and can join in the fun and learning of the school. We intend to make Coloma Primary School a school which the people of Roscrea can be proud of having had a hand in its very beginnings. It is even our wish and our hope to join in partnership and set up a network between the children and teachers of Roscrea and those of Coloma.
On behalf of the administration, staff and students of Coloma Primary School thank you very much for your support and may God bless you and your families.

Not worth it
I have eczema and so my skin is quite sensitive. I bought this product as I heard that it's good for my skin type, and really it did nothing for my skin. I wanted to try something other than QV face wash since it's so gentle and doesn't take out the sebum, so I thought this soap would be able to do it. It doesn't. Although it didn't flare up my eczema, it did however dry out my skin. Also, this smells so damn pungent, I kid you not. Overall, I would recommend don't get it because it really does not do anything for the pimples or the eczema. I used it for a good 5 months so anyone with my skin type, don't bother with this product.

Best Facial Wash
I really love how it doesn't stripe my skin off. I recently have break out problems and after using this, my skin does feel clearer than before and it definitely feel moisturised. And not to mention, the smell of this bar is heavenly.

The best face wash for acne prone skin
This face wash is the best face wash for acne prone skin. It has saved me several times. It can last for ever and ever, so in the long run it turns out to be quite cost effective. TIP :: do not use the whole bar at one time. I cut it into smaller pieces and use one piece at a time.

The Mantis were a humanoid-sized insectoid species similar in appearance to Earth mantises, but with bill-like mouths and fangs instead of mandibles. They were skilled at inventing, building and calculating, but lacked the faculty of purpose. They were the servants of the Tyrryxians until one mutation was born among them with the power of free will. The Mantis leader took control of the others and had them build a spacecraft for the Tyrryxians, then stole it.
The Tyrryxians sent their battle fleet in pursuit of the Mantis, but one of the ship's devices could shrink or enlarge the ship or any object aboard it. They used it to shrink themselves to particulate size to avoid detection, but while they were still in giant mode, the Doctor's TARDIS materialised on board. The Mantis leader discovered the TARDIS and experimented on it to find out what it was, subjecting it to acid and x-rays. Learning that it was a dimensionally transcendental craft, he forced the Third Doctor out and demanded that he reveal his scientific secrets. The Doctor escaped, made contact with miniaturised Tyrryxians, and they worked together to get the leader on board the TARDIS and then re-enlarge it, destroying the stolen spacecraft.

Mrs. God is called right in the Bible by goddess-names Ruach and Asherah, giving us a picture of a feminine divine being who embodies the creative primordial waters.
Intriguingly her and Yahweh's son later walked on water as if to prove himself a Son of Goddess. And he even walked on her holy lake. The people in Jesus' time once again would have known instantly what that story meant, that Yeshua was Asherah Sea-Walker's son.

June 11 was the fateful day that the image appeared to Jeffrey Rigo, 30, as he stepped out of the shower. He cut the plaster piece from his wall and put it up for auction on eBay under the name 'Shower Jesus'.
The 'Shower Jesus' eBay page received an enormous amount of attention from website visitors, which in turn sparked the attention of publicity connoisseurs GoldenPalace.com, who have changed the face of marketing with their innovative and unconventional advertising strategies.
'This water stain from the shower just fits right in with the other purchases we've made. For us, it's a no-brainer,' said Drew Black, a spokesman from the casino. 'The public is interested in these things, and we get the exposure.'

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) An Indiana bank sued suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick for not repaying loans involving a car rental business.
1st Source Bank of South Bend said in a federal lawsuit it suffered damages of at least $2 million because Vick and Divine Seven LLC of Atlanta had refused to pay for the vehicles.The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
Last week, the Royal Bank of Canada sued Vick in federal court in Virginia for more than $2.3 million that it said he had planned to use for real estate investments.
Vick pleaded guilty to a dogfighting conspiracy charge in federal court last month and was indicted Tuesday on state charges in Virginia related to the dogfighting ring. He faces up to five years in prison on the federal charge when he is sentenced Dec. 10. He also has been indefinitely suspended by the NFL.
A message was left Friday at the law firm representing Vick in his criminal cases.
Vick signed loan agreements as the chief financial officer of Divine Seven, which bought at least 130 vehicles, including many Kia Spectra and Ford Taurus cars, through 1st Source Bank loans, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court in South Bend on Wednesday.
A phone call Friday to a number listed on loan documents for Divine Seven was answered by a clerk at a Payless Car Rental office in Atlanta. The Associated Press left a message there for Art Washington, who signed some of the loan documents as Divine Seven's CEO.
According to the lawsuit, 1st Source Bank made a written demand for payment Aug. 24, but Vick and Divine Seven have "failed and refused to pay."
The bank has been able to repossess most of the cars, which will limit Vick's financial liability in the lawsuit, said John Griffith, the corporate counsel for 1st Source Bank.
The lawsuit said Vick and the company agreed to their first loans with the bank in January, about three months before authorities began investigating his involvement in a Virginia dogfighting operation.

Nationally Certified Interventionist
Most of the time, Intervention is something that a family considers only when a crisis occurs. Our loved one ends up in jail, overdoses, or causes major wreckage and THEN the family decides that it is time to do an intervention. An addiction intervention is a carefully controlled process where a trained professional sets up a meeting to mediate a controlled confrontation with the addict. The direct result of this meeting is that the addict immediately enters treatment. Families often try to facilitate this process themselves and it turns into a screaming match where everyone feels attacked and it ends up causing more damage to the family system. Another problem with families doing an intervention themselves is that the addict (who is brilliant at it) manipulates the family and does not go directly into treatment. The addict always says things like "I can do this on my own" and they ALWAYS stall for more time so they don't have to go into treatment. This is why it is an absolute necessity to have a professional there to facilitate your loved one's intervention. They are specifically trained NOT to let the addict manipulate any member of the family and will accept NOTHING LESS than the addict going into treatment THAT DAY!
I can't count how many interventions I have done where the family says "we have tried intervention on our own and it will not work." This is ABSOLUTELY not the case. A professional intervention can be as high as 98% successful if the family follows the direction of the interventionist completely. This is usually the problem. Families believe that they know their loved one better then anyone. But, an addiction interventionist knows "the addict" better than anyone. When emotions are involved, the family can not clearly see that they need to establish boundaries and consequences in order for their loved one to get clean…and they certainly need help enforcing them. The interventionist walks the family through every aspect of the process. We do a codependency training to teach the family how not to enable the addict, we help the family to write a letter to the addict, and we establish and enforce boundaries to ensure that the addict goes into treatment immediately. Every aspect of the intervention is controlled from how to sit during the intervention to not letting the addict "run the show."
If you have a loved one that has a drug and alcohol problem, PLEASE don't let it get to a point that they can't come back from. Look at a professional intervention as preventative! Don't wait until a crisis occurs and DO NOT TRY TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN. If your loved one had cancer, you certainly wouldn't treat them yourself…you would take them to a cancer specialist. This isn't any different. Please call a professional if your loved one has an addiction problem, you may only have one chance to get this right!
If you or some that you love is struggling with alcoholism, drug addiction, or some other addiction, please call or text us. We want to help you.

We never know what the future will hold. But based on how things are unfolding early in 2013, there are clues to where infosec may be headed. Please indulge me as I try to get this crystal ball working.
Thumbs both ways -- President Obama: He's done more to tackle cybersecurity than his more recent predecessors. But he's also taken drone warfare to levels that threaten our civil liberties. His choice of White House advisor John Brennan -- architect of the drone program -- as the next head of the CIA suggests our Constitutional rights will be threatened for a long time to come.
Thumbs both ways -- Anonymous: The loose network of hacktivists have been targeting hate groups of late, suggesting a new, heroic direction. But what they do is still illegal, and a wise person once said that "two wrongs don't make a right."
Thumbs down -- NSA's "Perfect Citizen" power grid security plan: As Taylor Armerding recently wrote, The National Security Agency (NSA) calls its semi-secret technology to protect the nation's power grid "Perfect Citizen." But it's far from perfect in the eyes of privacy advocates, who find it somewhat odd and amusing, but mostly disturbing.
Thumbs up -- Free security tools: The bad guys will always be there. Government will continue to do more harm than good. But we can take comfort in the fact that free infosec tools will always be around. [See our slideshow on this].
Thumbs up -- Security execs who share: Security is a tough job. Some say it's an impossible job. But as long as CSOs, CISOs and other security execs continue to share their ideas freely, everything in the bigger picture will be fine. (See "77 MORE great ideas for running a security program")

Seiko Epson to Cut Jobs, Forecasts Full-Year Loss
Jan. 06 –
Seiko Epson Corp., the world's second- biggest printer maker, said it
will trim its workforce 11 percent over three years as it expects a net
loss in the year ending March.
The company forecast a 14
billion yen ($120 million) annual loss, after predicting on Oct. 26 a
22 billion yen profit. It will cut 3,000 jobs in Japan over three years
and book one-time losses of about 50 billion yen in the six months
ending March 31, the company said in a statement, the third time it
revised its outlook in the year started April 1.
"Cost cuts couldn't keep up with the more-than-expected price
declines," said President Seiji Hanaoka at a press conference in
Tokyo. Prices for the company's multifunctional printers fell more than
10 percent this year, the company said.
Seiko Epson said price cuts by rivals and cooling demand drove down
sales of its small and mid-sized liquid-crystal displays more than it
had previously forecast. Costs for job cuts and other measures
contributed to the expectations for an annual loss. Sales of printer
ink and paper may also decline more than it previously expected this
year, the company said.
Net income in the three months ended Dec. 31 fell 55 percent to 9
billion yen and sales rose 6 percent to 455 billion yen, the company
said in the release.
Operating profit fell 45 percent in the third quarter to 17.1 billion yen.
The company, based in central Japan's Nagano Prefecture, almost slashed
its outlook for operating profit from information- related equipment by
42 percent to 28.9 billion yen. The company also pared its target for
electronic devices sales, which include cell phone displays and LCD
chips, by 11 percent to 264 billion yen.
Seiko Epson cut its outlook for full-year operating profit forecast to
24 billion yen from an earlier target of 44 billion yen. Operating
profit in 2004 was 90.9 billion yen

I turn the ignition the car wont turn over?
tail gate will not stay up
All the light work locks work with cop. When you push star button nothing happens. It lime a fuse is blown .
It has happened at least 8 times. I took it in and they say they don't know since there isn't an error code. It started at 10,000 miles and is still doing it at 20,000. This doesn't make since. Even if everything is computerized there has to be something technical going on. Would like this fixed before it's out of warranty. It just shuts off then I have to turn it back on again. And no it's not on auto. It has happened at different degrees and speeds.
Certified Pre Owned
purchased with 18K miles on the odometer.
No major repairs though I will be getting new tires next week.
I also had a 2002 highlander with the same issue.....what could be causing the brake pad and rotor failures.

Unfortunately we both ordered risotto , different types, but it was bland and tasteless so we both had a very poor dining experience which was disappointing for us both. Even the starter was not as good as expected.

Surprised to find an Italian restaurant that doesn't have grappa.
(((** 14 September 2016 by Susan Turner from 82-84 Deansgate Manchester
The restaurant is nicely laid out and very classy. I visited this restaurant on Friday 9.9.16 at 17:30, with my husband, having booked a table via BookaTable. We were given menus and asked whether we would like some olives whilst we were deciding what to eat. We said that that would be nice and ordered our drinks. The olives did not arrive and we reminded the waiter who said that they were on their way. Our drinks arrived and we gave the waiter our food order but still no olives! The bottle of Sparkling Water was warm and the waiter's answer was to put ice in it. I expect a bottle of sparkling water to have come out of a fridge and be icy cold not warm!
The olives eventually arrived at the same time as our starters and we were appalled that we were served just 8 olives for £3.29, which makes them over 41p each!
The tomatoes and dressing for my bruschetta were really tasty but the toast was almost too crunchy to eat as if it had been toasted a few hours ago and had gone hard. My husband's starter of Italian Hummus was really good. My pizza was lovely, really tasty but the extra red onions and peppers, of which they were very few, were not worth the extra money which I was charged. My dessert of blood orange sorbet was tasty but was frozen solid and very difficult to eat. We have eaten at many different Prezzo's all over the country and this was probably our worst experience.

Had a really good evening- food and service excellent. Thank you!

After visiting other Prezzo restaurants I selected the Manchester Deansgate restaurant. Although it was quiet, the service was quite slow.
The food was lovely but there are a couple of points I was unhappy with:
1. My friend had to wait a while for his food after we had all got ours.
2. We were dining from the set menu and I asked what the gluten free starter was - the waitress replied "nothing"!! I had to tell her there was actually garlic bread on the GF menu, so she told me she
Could do that for me, as though she was being generous!
Other than that I would visit again

1. Understanding the Chemical Basis of the Genetic Disease Phenylketonuria (PKU) – Professor John Caradonna, Chemistry Department – Inorganic/Bioinorganic Chemistry
The Caradonna Group is investigating the chemistry of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), a non-heme iron pterin-dependent monooxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine. Defects in PAH, which cause classic phenylketonuria (PKU), increase serum phenylalanine concentrations and result in abnormal accumulation of phenylalanine-based metabolic products. These products cause defective myelination of the central nervous system and result in postnatal brain damage and severe mental retardation. PKU is the most common inborn error in amino acid metabolism of clinical importance (1 in 50 individuals carry the disease trait, with an average incidence of 1 in 10,000 for Caucasians). The non-heme iron PAH-active site is of additional interest because it performs the same spectrum of chemical transformations as cytochrome P450 without benefit of a heme prosthetic group. The Group utilizes a variety of enzyme mechanistic, molecular biological, and biophysical techniques to investigate the mechanism of both wild type enzyme and selected mutants that induce PKU in humans. The PROSTARS CC student will be taught how to perform standard gene manipulations to generate missense mutations of PAH that are of clinical interest. The student will then learn how to over-express, purify, and characterize the resulting PKU-inducing enzyme using protein purification methods already developed in the lab for this purpose. Detailed enzyme kinetic studies using optical (UV/vis) spectroscopy and mass (LCMS) spectrometry will enable the description of the mechanism followed by these mutations and aid in the identification of the particular step(s) in the mechanism that the genetic mutation has altered. These observations will then be placed in the context of crystal structures of these mutant enzymes in the presence of substrate and/or cofactor to offer a detailed description of this important genetic disease.
2. Identification of the cellular targets of camalexin, a plant natural product with cytotoxic properties – Professor John Celenza, Biology Department – Chemical Biology
Plants synthesize a great variety of secondary metabolites from amino acids. Many of these metabolites are used as defense against pathogen attack. In the mustard Arabidopsis thaliana, tryptophan is used as a precursor for the antimicrobial compound camalexin. While camalexin is cytotoxic to eukaryotic cells, its mode of action is unclear. The goal of the Celenza Group is to exploit the power of yeast genetics to learn which normal cellular mechanisms are targets of camalexin. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a single-celled eukaryotic organism, and it is likely that knowledge gained from studying the biological effects of camalexin in yeast will be applicable to animal cells. Recently, the Group has established growth conditions to screen for yeast mutants with altered sensitivity to camalexin. The PROSTARS CC student will screen through a large arrayed collection of yeast mutants to identify strains with more or less sensitivity to camalexin. This collection contains over 5500 yeast strains, with each strain containing a loss-of-function mutation in a different yeast gene. This collection contains mutations in all yeast genes that are not required for viability. Any strain that has an altered response to camalexin can be traced back to a specific gene and function.
3. Condensed Phase Excited State Dynamics – Professor David Coker, Chemistry Department - Theoretical Chemistry
When molecules are photoexcited in solution they relax by various means, including loosing energy to their environment or by breaking bonds and reacting. The Coker Group conducts research directed at understanding these processes. In their projects, they use and develop new theoretical and computational methods to explore how electronic and vibrational excitation of reactant molecules in different environments can influence the outcome of chemical reactions of these molecules. Electronic and vibrational relaxation of excited reactants is, in general, fundamentally quantum mechanical in nature so the methods they use must accurately describe the transfer of energy between the classical environment and the quantal reactive system.
4. Synthesis of Manganese Aryloxide Compounds Relevant to O2 Production in the Water Oxidation Cluster – Professor Linda Doerrer, Chemistry Department – Inorganic/Materials Chemistry
One of the outstanding mysteries in bioinorganic chemistry is the mechanism by which the {Mn4Ca} water oxidizing complex (WOC) or oxygen evolving complex in photosystem II in plants functions. Photosystem II is part of the photosynthetic process that brings visible light, CO2, and water together to make carbohydrates and oxygen. It is known that a cluster of four manganese atoms and one calcium atom is critical for this functioning, as well as the participation of a tyrosine residue from the protein environment. The reactive moiety in the tyrosine residue is a phenolic hydroxyl group. The Doerrer Group is synthesizing first-row transition metal complexes with phenoxide anions, and they are interested in extending this chemistry to manganese to mimic WOC. The PROSTARS CC Student will learn how to synthesize transition-metal complexes in the absence of H2O and O2 and characterize them. Characterization techniques include NMR, UV-Vis, and IR spectroscopy, as well as solid state magnetism and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Successful efforts in the first stages of the project could lead to more advanced work in the project such as reactivity studies.
5. Protein Electrochemistry of Biological Disulfide Bonds – Professor Sean Elliott, Chemistry Department – Inorganic/Bioinorganic Chemistry
The Elliott Group's research centers on the use and development of protein electrochemistry to ask fundamental questions about how biological systems tune and control the redox chemistry of fast and reversible processes. Projects study the structure-function relationship of biological electron transfer in model systems that include: simple electron transfer proteins (cytochromes c551 and thioredoxins), complex cytochromes that contain as many as ten heme units, and multi-electron redox enzymes containing several redox cofactors. The work encompasses traditional enzymology, molecular biology, surface science and electroanalysis. The Group's efforts have benefited greatly from the contribution of undergraduate researchers, and one such UROP student pioneered its studies of the disulfide bond electrochemistry of the protein thioredoxin (Trx). A PROSTARS CC investigator will continue this work by constructing and examining novel Trx mutant proteins that are proposed to have greatly modulated redox characteristics. The protein sequence of a single loop motif (-CXXC-) is hypothesized to act as a 'rheostat' of the thioredoxin midpoint potential. Thus, the PROSTARS student will begin her/his project initially collaborating with current group members to design a mutation in this loop that should greatly perturb the potential. In subsequent experiments, the student will generate the site-directed mutant, prepare the pure mutant protein, conduct the electrochemical analysis, and analyze the resulting data.
6. Physical and analytical chemistry of interfaces: Surface Plasmon Resonance Spectroscopy Laboratory – Professor Rosina Georgiadis,
Chemistry Department – Physical/Analytical Chemistry
The Georgiadis Group's research focuses on the development and use of novel label-free detection methods based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy. Current projects involve the development of label-free DNA microarray technologies. Areas of study include: electric field effects at interfaces (rapid mismatch discrimination by electric field induced denaturation); DNA/protein interactions (screening methods for anti-tumor aptamers as tumor targeting reagents); DNA/drug interactions (kinetics of binding novel platinum anti-tumor drugs with oligonucleotides). A PROSTARS CC student would be assigned to a particular label-free microarray application, learning to prepare the materials for screening, to use the surface plasmon spectroscopy apparatus, and to interpret the resulting data.
7. Thiol-reactive inhibitors of the NF-kB signal transduction pathway –Professor Thomas Gilmore, Biology Department – Chemical Biology
The NF-kB signal transduction pathway regulates a variety of key organismal and cellular processes, including various immune responses, certain developmental processes, and cell proliferation and survival. In addition, the NF-kB pathway is mis-regulated in many human diseases, including a variety of inflammatory diseases and cancers. As such, there is great interest in developing chemical probes to understand the proteins involved in this pathway and chemicals that can specifically modulate NF-kB activity. In collaborative studies with Professor John Porco (Chemistry), the Gilmore Group has been characterizing the anti-NF-kB activity of several natural product-derived compounds. In these studies, they seek to identify the targets for these drugs in the NF-kB pathway and to understand how these compounds affect NF-kB signaling. Several of these compounds appear to target thiol groups in cysteine residues on target proteins. Therefore, in this project, a PROSTARS CC student would use a variety of cellular, molecular, and biochemical assays to identify and characterize novel natural product-based inhibitors of the NF-kB pathway. These approaches include tissue culture experiments, Western blotting, DNA-binding assays, site-directed mutagenesis, and in vitro kinase assays.
8. Nanoscience and Nanotechnology - Professor Bennett Goldberg, Physics Department – Chemical Physics
Current research focus includes nanoscale imaging of subcellular processes and interferometric determination of DNA dynamics on surfaces. Near-field imaging of photonic bandgap, ring microcavity and single-mode waveguide devices identifies internal mode structure and informs resonant biosensor fabrication and development of waveguide evanescent bio-imaging techniques. Subsurface solid immersion microscopy for Si inspection and thermal imaging is being extended to high collection efficiency for quantum information processing in single quantum dots. Room and low-temperature resonant Raman scattering and fluorescence of single nanotubes allows unprecedented spectroscopic study.
9. New Polymeric Materials for Medicine - Professor Mark Grinstaff, Chemistry Department – Organic/Macromolecular Chemistry
In one of its current research projects, the Grinstaff Group is designing, synthesizing, and characterizing novel dendrimers, termed "biodendrimers," for tissue engineering and biotechnological applications. Currently, they are evaluating these novel biomaterials for the repair of corneal lacerations, for the delivery of anti-cancer drugs, for the delivery of DNA, and as temporary biodegradable scaffolds for cartilage repair. In a second project, they are creating novel polymeric coatings termed "interfacial biomaterials" that control biology on plastic, metal, and ceramic surfaces. In a third project, they are designing electrochemical-based sensors/devices using conducting polymer nanostructures and specific DNA structural motifs.
10. Theoretical Biophysical Chemistry - Professor Tom Keyes, Chemistry Department - Theoretical Chemistry
The Keyes Group research focus is theoretical biophysical chemistry. Current projects are the mechanism and dynamics of protein folding, binding of ligands to proteins, properties of bulk and interfacial water, all-atom descriptions of viruses, and 'theory of experiment' for the associated spectral probes. Overall themes are: 1) the idea that classical mechanics is more broadly applicable than is generally realized, so long as induction, or polarization - the creation of dipoles by local electric fields - is accurately included. Thus they construct classical theories of nonlinear IR and Raman spectroscopy, consider that ligand binding occurs via classical 'electrostatic bonds', and have developed the POLIR polarizable potential for water; 2) formulating theories in terms of the multidimensional potential energy surface, or landscape; and 3) developing intelligent or accelerated simulation algorithms for these computationally intensive problems.
11. Mechanistic studies on C-P bond containing natural products –Professor Pinghua Liu, Chemistry Department – Biological Chemistry
Synthetic C-P bond containing compounds (phosphonates) have been widely used as pesticides. Phosphonates are also found in nature and most of them have biological activities. The mechanistic studies on C-P bond-containing natural products in the Liu Laboratory are addressing the following two questions:
1. How is the C-P bond formed enzymatically? and
2. How are these phosphonates degraded in nature?
The only C-P bond formation enzyme characterized to date is phosphoenolpyruvate mutase. The analysis of C-P containing natural products indicates that there must be other enzymatic methods to form the C-P bonds. The PROSTARS CC student would learn the basic molecular biology skills to clone a C-P bond formation enzyme discovered in one of collaborators' laboratory, the fortimicin KL1 methyltransferase. He/she would then work with one of the post-doctoral fellows (Dr. Youli Xiao) in the laboratory to learn organic synthesis in aqueous solution, which is different from traditional organic synthesis. The success of the proposed studies will lay the groundwork for more detailed mechanistic studies of these unique transformations in the future.
12. Advances in the Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Complex Natural Products – Professor James Panek, Chemistry Department – Organic/Synthetic Chemistry
Research in the Panek Laboratory centers on the design and development of new methods for the stereocontrolled synthesis of complex organic molecules. Serving as inspiration for reaction development, natural product targets are chosen based on their novel architecture and biological activities. Once the scope of a methodology is determined, it is utilized in the stereocontrolled synthesis of a natural product or a group of related natural product targets. These natural product targets then provide opportunities for the preparation of chemical entities through diversity-oriented synthesis. The objectives are to enhance structural diversity available from Nature and to prepare molecules with novel chemical or biological properties. These studies are often carried out in conjunction with the Center for Methodology and Library Development at Boston University (CMLD-BU). The PROSTARS CC student's experience would include experiments involving methodology development and the stereocontrolled synthesis of complex natural products. Other options include the synthesis of chemical libraries in collaboration with the CMLD-BU. The PROSTARS CC student would be actively involved in contemporary synthetic methods and using modern analytical techniques.
13. Studies Towards the Synthesis of Complex Molecules – Professor John Porco, Chemistry Department – Organic/Synthetic Chemistry
The Porco Laboratory focuses on the development of new methodologies for chemical synthesis of complex molecules. Natural product targets are selected based on the presence of novel, challenging functionality and the likelihood for development of new methodologies (A). This functionality ultimately drives development of new reaction processes (B). Utility of methodologies is then demonstrated in the context of complex, target-directed synthesis (C.) Complex target molecules then provide opportunities for the preparation of new structures (D, "diversity exploration") with a goal to increase the structural diversity available from Nature and prepare molecules with novel chemical or biological properties. A key aspect is parallel synthesis for development and optimization of chemical transformations. The latter studies are conducted in conjunction with the CMLD-BU. The PROSTARS CC project will involve complex natural product synthesis or the synthesis of chemical libraries in collaboration with the CMLD-BU. The PROSTARS CC student would learn synthetic organic techniques, including running reactions under inert conditions, as well as running and interpreting NMR spectra.
14. Research in the Chemical and Biological Sciences – Professor Scott Schaus, Chemistry Department – Organic/Chemical Genomics
The Schaus Laboratory develops new chemical methodologies, synthesizes natural products and small molecules that possess interesting biological activities, and applies techniques in chemical genomics to study the effects of compounds on cellular processes. The group uses chemical synthesis, functional genomics, and bioinformatics to gain further understanding into the effects of antiproliferative compounds on cellular processes. The research approach creates an integrated training environment, encouraging students to identify and develop research projects that address fundamental questions in chemistry and biology. The diverse array of research projects undertaken in the Schaus Group work synergistically toward the development of a new asymmetric methodology and its subsequent application as they synthesize interesting natural products and develop and use techniques in genomics and biology to understand how these compounds affect cellular processes. Their work in chemical methodology has focused on the development of direct asymmetric carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. A reaction they have been studying is the Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reaction; a long-standing challenge in asymmetric catalysis. Their approach has been to concentrate on the phosphine-promoted reaction. They have successfully identified a highly enantioselective Brønsted-acid catalyzed MBH reaction. The reaction not only addresses a gap in asymmetric synthetic methodology but also identified a unique example of chiral Brønsted acid catalysis. Future work will focus on developing the reaction for use in synthesis. They plan to use the reaction as a key step in the synthesis of the pycnanthuquinones, natural products with a unique mode of overcoming the symptoms of type 2 diabetes mellitus. A PROSTARS CC student working on this project would learn the basic techniques of synthesis and purification, chiral HPLC analysis, preparative LC methods, and multinuclear NMR analytical techniques.
15. New Chemistries for Scaffold Synthesis for Small Molecule Libraries - Professor John Snyder, Chemistry Department – Organic/Synthetic Chemistry
The discovery of new drug candidates and biological probes often begins with the discovery of new chemistry and compounds of unusual structure rich in stereochemistry that go beyond what nature can manufacture. The Snyder Group focuses on the discovery of new chemistries for the synthesis of unusual heterocycles and natural product-like scaffolds that can be exploited in the preparation of small molecule libraries. Thus, it is important that these new scaffolds have a minimum of three possible diversification points for library development. One project is automated reaction prospecting whereby eight or more different catalysts will be screened in parallel for their ability to promote unusual reactivity between a standard reactant, for example alkynyl nitrile 1 (Scheme), with a series of up to ten co-reactants. This protocol creates an 8 X 10 reaction matrix. The PROSTARS student would learn to run these screening arrays and analyze the products by LC-MS. After identifying chemistry of interest, the student will scale-up the reaction for more accurate structure identification (NMR) and then expand the scope of the chemistry with a greater variety of co-reactants to create a small molecule library. Once prepared, these libraries will be submitted for bioactivity screening through the CMLD-BU for a variety of activities, including antiviral and antituberculosis activities, CNS related receptors and others.
16. Computer simulation of amyloid peptide aggregation using all atom protein models – Professor John Straub, Chemistry Department – Theoretical Chemistry/Bioinformatics
Human islet amylin polypeptide (IAPP) is a 37-residue peptide produced in the pancreas. Amylin is cosecreted with insulin and its normal function is associated with glucose metabolism. In certain individuals, it contributes to insulin resistance, thereby playing a key role in the initiation of non-insulin-dependent diabetes (type II) mellitin (NIDDM). It is believed that individuals with NIDDM have amyloid deposits formed by the association of human amylin. While human amylin peptide aggregates, rat amylin does not aggregate under similar conditions. Based on sequence comparison between human and rat amylin, it is suspected that the ten residues in the region 20-29 are largely responsible for the association of human amylins. Fragment 20-29 can form fibrilar structures that have a distinct morphology; fragment 30-37 was also shown to be critical for fibril formation. A PROSTARS CC student would be directly mentored by a senior graduate student in the Straub Laboratory in working to simulate the aggregation of human and rat IAPP. A goal of the study will be to simulate the system at length to characterize the conformational fluctuations that may lead to the "nucleation" of secondary structural elements, and to understand in detail the role of sequence in aggregation of the peptide. Simulations of the amylin aggregation equilibrium will be carried out as a function of the temperature and solution conditions. State-of-the-art computational algorithms and computing resources in the Boston University Center for Computational Science will be employed. The PROSTARS CC student would be involved in discussions with the experimental collaborators to develop a good knowledge of both practical and theoretical aspects of our studies.
17. Substituted polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines as substrate analogs for glycolytic enzymes –Professor Dean Tolan, Biology Department –
Chemical Biology
The Tolan Group research focuses on the chemistry at the active site of the glycolytic enzyme, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase. The enzyme catalyzes the opening of the hemiketal ring of b-D-fructose-furanose 1,6-(bis)phosphate prior to covalent catalysis resulting in the cleavage of the C3-C4 bond. Little is known about the site or mechanism of ring opening catalyzed by aldolase. They have developed both steady-state and pre-steady state kinetic assays, as well as the ability to determine structures by X-ray crystallography so that they can study this activity of the enzyme. Substrate analogs where the ring cannot be opened are required for this work, which can be synthesized as a deoxy-pyrrolidine ring at the hemiketal carbon. The PROSTARS student in this program would be assigned to an individual series of synthetic steps leading to specific labeling of the carbon skeleton. The synthesis, purification, and product analysis will allow the student to apply her/his basic organic chemistry knowledge to the research laboratory setting. The use of the purified final product in pre-steady state kinetic analysis, X-ray crystallography, and data collection will also be conducted.
18. A structural map of the human genome - Professor Thomas Tullius, Chemistry Department – Bioinorganic Chemistry/Bioinformatics
The hydroxyl radical is a powerful chemical probe of DNA structure, which can be used to obtain detailed information on the structure of long stretches of DNA. The Tullius Group has recently constructed a database of hydroxyl radical-generated DNA structural data. In research supported by the ENCODE Project of the National Human Genome Research Institute of the NIH, they are using this database to make a structural map of the human genome. They are concentrating their efforts on understanding the role of the noncoding regions of the human genome that are involved in the regulation of gene expression, and in directing the architecture of chromosomes. The structural maps of genomic DNA that their work will produce will add a new dimension to understanding of the workings of the human genome. An PROSTARS CC student would work with graduate students in the group to add new data to the hydroxyl radical cleavage pattern database by performing the hydroxyl radical DNA cleavage reaction on new DNA sequences and analyzing the reaction products using an advanced capillary electrophoresis-based automated DNA sequencing instrument. A PROSTARS student with a background and interest in computers and computation could work with members of the Tullius Group who are part of the Boston University Graduate Training Program in Bioinformatics, to devise new computational methods to find and understand structural patterns in the human genome.
19. New Methodology for Simulation of Very Slow Biological Processes - Professor Feng Wang, Chemistry Department– Theoretical Chemistry/Computer Simulation
One of the research interests of the Wang Group is the development of the Basin Hopping Kinetic Monte Carlo (BHKMC) methodology to simulate slow dynamic processes. Standard molecular dynamics simulations usually cannot properly address processes that occur over a time period of more than a few nano-seconds. This limitation rules out straightforward application of these methods to many biological processes that are taking place at a much slower rate. The Wang Group is developing a method that combines basin hopping Monte Carlo, a transition state search algorithm, and Kinetic Monte Carlo to model very slow reactions. Biological applications of the method include modeling of ion channels and protein-ligand docking. In the flexible protein-flexible ligand docking problem, the docked geometry is usually not known a priori. The theoretical determination of the docking rate of such a process is challenging since most methods that calculate reaction rate would require the prior knowledge of the initial and final structures. The BHKMC method does not require the prior knowledge of the final structure, which makes it a very powerful tool for studying such docking problems. The BHKMC is being implemented and tested on simple model systems in our group. The PROSTARS student would learn to use the BHKMC code and to test it by running simulations of ion transport through biological channels and comparing with experimental results.
20. Professor Larry Ziegler, Chemistry Department and PhotonicsCenter - Physical Chemistry
The Ziegler Group has three projects on which the PROSTARS CC student can engage in research: "Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) Detection of Pathogens" -- SERS is being exploited for the detection and identification of bacterial cells and viruses. A novel gold or silver nanoparticle substrate has been developed which allows the observation of SERS spectra down to the single cell level, in about 10 seconds of data acquisition time using just milliwatts of incident laser power. The unique vibrational fingerprints allow numerical algorithms to be used for diagnostic purposes much faster than currently employed culturing or PCR based methods. "Ultrafast carrier dynamics in wide band gap semiconductor materials" -- Femtosecond measurements are carried out on wide band gap materials, such as pure and doped GaN in order to learn about the properties of these semi-conductors in their conduction bands. These materials are of importance for the development of blue-UV LEDs, lasers and solar energy devices. Following femtosecond pulse excitation, a large variety of electronic and nuclear frame phenomena spanning time scales from 10's of femtoseconds to 10's of nanoseconds result before equilibrium is re-established in these novel materials. "Ultrafast IR spectroscopy" -- Femtosecond pulses tunable throughout the IR are used to study a wide variety of phenomena using pump-probe and multidimensional techniques. These methods are applied to: a. the study of energy relaxation in water, the most ubiquitous solvent; b. the study of fluctuations in super critical fluids, which are central to understanding their special solvation properties on a molecular level and c. the role of lipids and proteins in unraveling the mechanism of generalized anesthetics.
