1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Mera Pharmaceuticals,
Inc.;

2. Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make

          material information relating to the Company, including its
          consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
          entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly
          report is being prepared;

     b)   evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and
          procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of

most recent evaluation, to the Company's auditors and the audit committee of
Company's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

#### O’Neal *v.*The State.

Decided November 4, 1919.

Certiorari; from Fulton superior court—Judge Pendleton. May 29, 1919.

*Lowndes Calhoun,*for plaintiff in error. *John A. Boykin, solicitor-general, Lowry Arnold, B. A. Stephens,*contra.

Bloodworth, J.

1. The entire brief of the attorney for plaintiff in ei’ror is in one sentence as follows: “He insists on all the grounds of error set forth in his petition for certiorari, and says that the court erred on each and every ground thereof.” This is not an argument. It has been repeatedly held by this court and the Supreme Court of the State that assignments of error not argued in the brief of counsel for plaintiff in error will be treated as abandoned. *Cheek*v. *State,*22 *Ga. App.*788 (5) (97 S. E. 203); *Sulter*v. *State,*22 *Ga. App.*105 (95 S. E. 532); *Harbin*v. *Flannigan,*22 *Ga. App.*30 (95 S. E. 320); *Pelham Phosphate Co.*v. *Daniels,*21 *Ga. App.*549 (94 S. E. 846), and cases cited.

2. There is evidence to support the verdict, and the judge of the superior court did not err in overruling the petition for certiorari.

*Judgment affirmed.*

*Broyles, O. J., and Luhe, J., concur.*

 Honorable Milton I. Shadur, Senior United States District Judge for the Northern District of Illinois.

MEMORANDUM ***

We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

We have held that violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326 is a “continuing offense which continues so long as the alien remains in the country.”1 Thus, Rojas-Arevalo’s violation of § 1326 continued until January 1999, well after the effective date of the 1996 amendment to the definition of “aggravated felony.”2 Therefore, the district court correctly applied the amended definition of “aggravated felony” in calculating RojasArevalo’s sentence.3

Nothing in *Valderrama-Fonseca v. INS**4***changes this result. In that case, we did not apply the amended definition of “aggravated felony” because all of the “actions taken”5 in petitioner’s deportation proceedings occurred before the effective date of the 1996 amendment.6 However, contrary to what Rojas-Arevalo suggests, we did not limit the applicability of the 1996 amendment to cases where there was an order or decision issued against an alien by the Attorney General after the effective date of that amendment. Here, Rojas-Arevalo’s violation of § 1326 also triggered the amended definition of “aggravated felony,”7 and that is not inconsistent with our decision in *Valderrama-Fonseca.*

AFFIRMED.

Mechanically induced sidebands on the fluorescence of single InAs quantum dots 

Mechanical oscillators with dimensions below a micrometer are attractive candidates for observing and 

controlling quantum phenomena within fabricated systems. Sensing such systems optically, however, is a 

challenge, as they are smaller than the wavelength of light. A proposed solution to this difficulty is to 

embed a self-assembled quantum dot, acting as an "artificial atom," inside the oscillator. Theoretical 

studies predict that these quantum dots can be fast, sensitive probes of the motion of nanomechanical 

systems. In addition to monitoring nanomechanical motion, an embedded quantum dot should in principle 

enable a nanomechanical oscillator to be laser-cooled to its quantum ground state.

For laser cooling and quantum control, it is desirable to work in the "resolved sideband" regime, in which 

high frequency mechanical motion induces sidebands on the fluorescence spectrum of a quantum dot. 

These sidebands correspond to the absorption or emission of mechanical quanta. We have resolved the 

motional sidebands in quantum dot fluorescence for the first time. For these studies, in order to simulate 

the motion of a nanomechanical oscillator, we have fabricated thin film metallic interdigitated transducer 

(IDT) electrodes on chip, using the NIST nanofabrication facility. These electrodes are used to generate 

surface acoustic waves (SAWs), which "shake" our sample of quantum dots. 

The accompanying figure is a simplified illustration of our experiment. Laser light is coupled via a fiber 

into a homemade cryostat at 4 Kelvin, where it excites quantum dots grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on 

a gallium arsenide substrate. The SAW, generated by means of the IDT electrodes, "shakes" the quantum 

dots at a frequency of 1 GHz. Fluorescence from the quantum dot is collected with the same optics used to 

excite it, and analyzed spectrally with a high-resolution homemade Fabry-Perot interferometer in 

conjunction with a grating spectrometer (not shown). The blue curve shows the fluorescence spectrum of a 

single quantum dot in the absence of mechanical excitation. The red curve shows the spectrum when a 

SAW is applied; motional sidebands appear, and the strength of the original fluorescence peak is greatly 

reduced. By raising the SAW amplitude still further, we can nearly extinguish the original peak, as well as 

excite sidebands of higher order. 

The next phase of this work is to fabricate actual nanomechanical resonators with embedded quantum dots, 

observe their thermal motion, and attempt laser cooling. Another application of this work that we will 

pursue is to use the SAW to generate entangled photon pairs from the biexciton fluorescence of individual 

quantum dots.

resolve the fluorescence. Right: Fluorescence spectrum of quantum dot (blue curve) acquires resolved 

sidebands (red curve) when "shaken" by surface acoustic wave.

                                 AN ACT

 
    To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to extend the 
   authorization of appropriations for the Lake Pontchartrain Basin 
           Restoration Program from fiscal year 2005 to 2010.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN RESTORATION PROGRAM.

    (a) Stakeholders Conference.--For purposes of carrying out section 
121 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1273), the 
Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana, basin stakeholders conference convened 
on February 25, 2002, shall be treated as being a management conference 
convened under section 320 of such Act (33 U.S.C. 1330).
    (b) Authorization of Appropriations.--The first sentence of section 
121(f)(1) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 
1273(f)(1)) is amended by inserting before the period at the end the 
following: ``, $19,000,000 for fiscal year 2006, and $20,000,000 for 
each of fiscal years 2007 through 2010''.

SEC. 2. TECHNICAL CORRECTION.

    The second section 121 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act 
(33 U.S.C. 1274; relating to wet weather watershed projects) is 
redesignated as section 122.

            Passed the House of Representatives October 7 (legislative 
      day, October 6), 2004.

            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
