"It was a overnite stay,comfortable & relax"
A spontaneous place to stay overnight. For one night.Genuine Expedia guest review
"You get what you pay for"
We stayed for 2 nights in this hotel. Overall, the hotel was okay. It was closed to the Magic Kingdom (10-15 minutes) and the beds, carpet, tv, and every thing else was okay. I can't complain about it because we got what we paid for. The staff was nice too; they were helpful and friendly. Although the breakfast was a regular continental breakfast, we […] were actually surprised with the variety of breakfast they provided. They had cereal, oatmeal, boiled eggs, toasts, danishes, and hot waffle. It was pretty good for a $30/night hotel. One thing that I need to mention is that the shower did not have the kind of water pressure I expected. The pressure was too low and took a few minutes to get warm. We might want to stay here again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
The breakfast is good, but the space is so little for the capacity of people in the hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good price with high expectation"
Free parking, free breakfast, and free wifi. At first glance, it was dirty for the blanket and I asked for the replacement. The staff was very efficient to have the replacement. The breakfast is better than expected. The swimming pool is fine. In general, the room of Econo Lodge in Kissimmee and service looks much better than that of Howard Johnson […] in Tampa, FL, and the price was almost half of that in Howard Johnson since we went Orlando in the off season. It is one of the best low price place to recommend. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"I would recommend this Hotel to my closet friendly"
It was comfortable. Nice and clean. The front desk staff and house keepers were friendly and very accommodating.Genuine Expedia guest review
"The worst hotel ever"
We arrived to the hotel, and ok, it was cheap, but the toilet was blocked, they never fixed it. The water in the vanitory was blocked too. Awful and horrible.Genuine Expedia guest review
Not enough bath linen. Shower curtain was too high almost touching the sprinkler. The curtain wad too small leaking water all over the floor. The air conditioning had a huge wire in front of it.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Not worth staying here."
I would never stay at this Hotel ever again and would never recommend this hotel to anyone. Hotel was dirty, not enough breakfast for everyone at the hotel. The air conditioner was broken in 2 of our rooms. The rooms are far from the check in area. The only positive things about the hotel was that the staff was friendly and the price was fair for the […] 1 night ($40.00). I would rather pay a little bit more for better service and quality. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ehh.. First time and Wouldn't come again."
$45 was to much for what I received. First, I've been to others such as Bugetel inn, Ramada, and Econo lodge simply wasn't the best. The woman in the front desk was very uninviting and uncaring. When I first walked in, about 4 people were asking for the manager, who took his time answering them. They didn't even have the rooms ready for one man who […] waited almost twenty minutes past his arrival time because of slow cleaning. Location is okay, it's surrounded by many shops and I pool I enjoyed across the street as well as a oriental buffet. They did provide the fridge I asked for which was black and matched the room nicely. But I didn't get the microwave, I guessed they didn't have any. The pool, (if you're planning to use it) is extremely small. The rooms are far from the office, the bathroom tub wasn't cleaned very well and you could feel sand like residue on it entirely. Bathroom door was very weak, wood could be broken easily without trying to. Air conditioner water soaked up floor which is found in most motels but if not treated will create a very very unpleasant molding smell in the Entire room. In all, I could get a better room for cheaper. Don't waste your money. Seriously.There better staff and places for less, listen to the reviews before you find yourself in the same liaison. Happy traveling Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good place to stay for the night."
It was kinda sketchy!! They asked for a $25 deposit and never charged my card and they put us all the way in the back building where there were mattresses on the ground outside of the building and in the room next to us the curtains were drawn and the room was filled with dirty mattresses like they were trying to redo the hotel. The breakfast was not […] very good either. It is very close to disney though. It's in the middle of Kissimmee but if you plan on spending time at the hotel this is not a place for you!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Cheap stay"
Quick trip to Orlando. Booked at lastminute. Inexpensive stayGenuine Expedia guest review
We got there a couple of hours earlier then we thought and they charged us $25.00 then we get in are room and there where holes in the wall, dirt everywhere so we asked to get a different room which they did, we had Clorox wipes and cleaned everything and the wipes were black when we were done! Their blankets smelled they had no towels for us when we […] arrived... I would definitely never go there again! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice Stay."
stayed here for 3 nights. Room was clean. Carpet was a little worn. front desk people were very nice. Close to a lot of things including Disney World. Golf. Plenty of restaurants to choose from. Would stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to Disney"
No problems at all, the check in and check out process very quickly. Limited breakfast but ok for the price. Rooms were clean and beds comfy. Good for people who will visit parks and use the hotel only to sleep. Pool was dirty needed maintenance. Good for the price.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice for one night"
It was ok. Nothing in vending machines and laundry didn't work.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good for the price"
Great location. Hotel it self it's not bad. The breakfast it's limited but it does the job. But you better get there on time. The rooms are average, nothing fancy nor bad. You get what you pay for but very close to Disney.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Overnight trip to Epcot"
The young lady at the front desk was very sweet and helpful! The room was dirty, smelly and the hotel was noisy. The microwave and TV were streaked and had "stuff" on them. The bed was uncomfortable and smelly, the comforter was dirty and stinky. We literally were afraid to touch anything. The breakfast was a joke. 5 - 6 tables for a 200 room hotel?? […] One cereal, one waffle maker, two coffee pots and one girl working the front desk and the breakfast, really?? Do Not Stay here!!! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Wouldn't recommend"
I had two rooms...one room, the bed was comfortable but the tv reception was horrible. The second room, the beds and comforters was uncomfortable but the tv reception was good. The pool was a lot smaller than pics showed. The service was horrible, we had problems getting towels for everyone (4 tries). If we had a problem the receptionist would always […] say someone was on there way but hours later, wouldn't have what we needed. But the rooms were actually clean. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"close to disney."
the pictures on expedia were very misleading and very dissapointing !Genuine Expedia guest review
"In the middle of everything but quiet."
After checking in, was directed to go around the back and you will find it. We were never explained that it was on the farthest part of the building and the numbers went backwards or that it was ground floor. Turned AC on and it was fine but no heat. The worst was the shower! The temperature was fine, but you couldn't turn the shower to down. Also the shower […] nozzle was so loose that water squirted every where on floor and toilet. Next lets address the black mold that lined the bathroom ceiling quite visible (I can send you a picture) because if I get sick I have proof of that problem. Now about them entering the room (while we were out) to change the TV without asking if they could and leaving a lot of dust! Must have drilled and never cleaned up. The breakfast was adequate but not attended to enough. There were a lot of guests with children and the milk was constantly running out. I myself made coffee two days in a row and had to tell the girl that milk, Danish and syrup (for waffles) needed refilling. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good for the price"
Good for price. Included breakfast. Room was clean. We basically on slept they and went to parks. They are renovating. They put a new flat screen TV in while we were they. Paid $30.00 nightlyGenuine Expedia guest review
"Very old and dirty."
I felt as if I shouldn't touch anything because it was filthy. One positive thing was the friendly staff.Genuine Expedia guest review
ONCE YOU RUN OUT OF TOWELS, THEY DONT HAVE ANY ADDITONAL TOWELS AND ONE HOUSE KEEPERGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"My Stay in Orlando"
When i rented the hotel online the pictures are nothing like what we got when we arrived. There was no hair dryer, no iron. The room was dirty and the bathroom was filthy. When i confronted the front desk i was only told that i rented this on Hotels.com and that's it. The air conditioner was not cooling and no one ever came to clean our room. When we […] took showers the water did not drain and dirty backwash was up to the ankles. Frankly it was very disappointing and uncomfortable to think i put my family thru that ordeal. i wish i could upload the pictures i took of the tub. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to Disney"
Okay for cost for the night. At least had great water pressure in the shower.Genuine Expedia guest review
"I was so impressed with the night check in guy."
We got lost and called for directions about 1am. When we didn't show up in a reasonable amount of time the guy called us to make sure we were safe. He helped guide us in. Very impressed!Genuine Expedia guest review
"It was OK"
It was an ok stay. Worth the price I paid for it, which wasn't muchGenuine Expedia guest review
"This hotel"
This hotel was nice for what you pay. There were a couple exceptions that I observed. Housekeeping did not leave wash towels, so my family and I had to buy some to use. The breakfast that was offered was really not good. The orange juice was really Sunny D, no milk, but the coffee was good. The pool area was the biggest disappointment. Nothing at all […] like the picture. The pool is very small and hardly any chairs. The grounds around the pool is bland and ugly and the pool is not even connected to the rooms. Not a place for a family but for those who want a place to sleep and nothing else. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Affordable Hotel Near Disney"
We were only there to sleep, and it served as a sufficient place to stay. I expected it to be cleaner, but I guess we got what we paid for - which is to say, not much.Genuine Expedia guest review
This hotel is great if you are not picky and need a place to spend the night... Theres nothing fancy about it, and you get what your money's worth here... It was perfect for what I needed, a place to spend the night... The beds were comfortable, the room was clean, offered free wi-fi... Breakfast is VERY limited and scarce, but it wasnt bad... Overall, […] I woukd stay here again... :) Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Okay hotel - good for price"
I was a little scared - the rooms were in back of the hotel. It was advertised as "room with balcony" yet there were no balconies, the doors opened to an outdoor walkway.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Get What You Pay For"
Cheap price...very basic motel...but you get what you pay for!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Poorly maintained motel"
This hotel is not acceptable. The housekeeping is not acceptable. I'd suggest spending a little more money and stay elsewhere.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Overall the price was great and breakfast was pleasing for someone who is on a budget I would definitely recommend this. Shower was amazing and the ac was great. The mattress was ok not that soft but overall my stay was perfect with my budget.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Skip it!"
Beware travelers, most of the cheap hotels here are of the same ilk. Sub par IS the par for this area. Go westGenuine Expedia guest review
"Near all the other hotels"
The price was low which is what I was looking for although what a difference delaying a day can make in price....about $10/day. The room once had a safe that was no longer functional. I used the toilet tissue because the staff did not fill the facial tissue paper dispenser even though I placed the cover next to the sink so it would be noticed. The cleaning […] staff put the cover back without refilling the dispenser. I was not happy about that. The floor was not vacuumed well enough because I could feel sand/dirt under foot. I was satisfied with the heat pump, sink was fine but the water pressure in the shower was very low. If you like to take a nice hot shower then this is not the hotel for you. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good reasonable place to stay for a night or two"
Check-in was easy room is ready room was clean and free breakfast all I neededGenuine Expedia guest review
"Run down hotel near WDW"
Hotel staff could not check us in due to being sold out the day before, had to come back in the evening. When we did check in the manager at the time pulled us outside to tell us the previous guests damaged the room, and just to let us kow he knows we didnt do it. no offer to put us in a different room. No comforters on beds only a thin sheet. No towels […] in room. Continental breakfast was offered however when we went down that morning, hardly any food was there with 2 hors to go until breakfast was over. No places to sit for breakfast, however if you wan to take it back to your room they want to charge you an extra $10. Als.o the picture of the hotel on expedia does not match the one you stay at Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Good for the price.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
My stay sucks. As a Matter of fact I'm still on my stay and hating this hotel. Staff is rude (except Bonnie and Yasmine). And I brought my dog with me (only reason I came here was to avoid doggy daycare fees) to find out he barks to much and apparently he was so noisy I had to come from my fun outings to come Get him because, he's only suppose to bark […] here or there. The room for dogs were deplorable. I only got it to accommodate my your key but in the taking him to a doggie day care anyway. and since he left the hotel I figured I can get a room upgrade right? Wrong.... They were booked full. Oh brother never again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"great location for what I needed to be close too"
Heat/AC system had modified knobs, beds had a top sheet and folded blanket on the end of the bed. No bedspreads. Coffee maker did not have a coffee pot. Housekeeping staff were very helpful and friendly, which is more than I could say about night shift front desk employee. Room served purpose but it could use a major renovation.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
I stayed one night at the econo lodge I don't think I will recommend it to anyone . The sheets on the bed were dirty looks like they were not change from the previous visitor. coffee machine was dirty the room were suppose to be none smoking but it smell of cigarette ,There was no closet to hang your clothes . I asked for an iron and I never got it. […] breakfast was not anything to talk about . Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Not too bad for the priceGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Cotton fabrics have been treated by sol–gel processes in order to create a silica compact coating on the fibres to enhance their thermal stability and flame retardancy. The effect of process parameters such as silica precursor:water molar ratio and drying conditions (temperature and time) has been thoroughly investigated, aiming at optimization of target properties. Thermogravimetry and cone calorimetry have been respectively used to assess thermal stability and combustion behaviour of treated fabrics. Coating durability to different washing programmes has been evaluated as well.

Gravity (US - DVD R1 | BD RA)
WB has a release date for the Sandra Bullock science fiction (faction?) hit...
Starring: Sandra Bullock
Released: 25th February 2014
Further Details:
Fresh off 10 Academy Award Nominations, Alfonso Cuarón's
Gravityis coming to 3D Blu-ray Combo Pack (3D Blu-ray/Blu-ray/DVD/UltraViolet), Blu-ray Combo Pack (Blu-ray/DVD/UltraViolet), and DVD Combo Pack (DVD/Ultraviolet) next month.
All three releases will include the following extras:
- Collision Point: The Race to Clean Up Space (Narrated by Ed Harris)
- Aningaaq - A short film by Jonás Cuarón
- Gravity Mission Control
- Shot Breakdowns
- Gravity: Silent Space Version
- Sandra's Surprise!
Quote: Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) in command. But on a seemingly routine mission, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalski completely alone—tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the darkness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.

In the morning hours of January 5, 2012 the New South-East Crater of Mt. Etna has produced a new episode paroxysmal eruption after 50 quiet days. Last eruption had occurred November 15, 2011. Istituto Nazionale di Geosifica e Vulcanologia - Sezione di Catania (INGV) reported several hours of weak strombolian explosions within the crater, lava fountains from several vents within the crater and flanks the south-eastern and northern emission of lava flows and to the south-east and north-east, a column of gas and ash several kilometers high before new eruptive episode. The intense fallout of pyroclastic material on the flanks of the cone generated small pyroclastic flows, which have invaded land covered with snow, causing violent explosive interactions. The fallout of ash and lapilli mostly affected the southern sector of the volcano as well as evaporating snow at the edges of the lava field. The rumblings have been heard from the towns situated on the eastern side.

Webcam - seismic signals in real time - Volcanic Tremor - Map stations - More live webcams
It is the 19th episode of lava fountains on Mt. Etna, the series that began January 12, 2011 (the first beginning of 2012), the new cinder cone of the crater of South-East. The abundant fallout of incandescent volcanic bombs on the northern side of the cone, and at its base, in contact with the snow falling in recent days, has generated hydromagmatic explosion with the production of lahars and pyroclastic flows. The lava flow, overlapping with those of previous paroxysms, was on the hillsides of the western wall of Valle del Bove. Another small lava overflow occurred from the edge of the northwestern cinder cone and stopped behind it. (EtnaWalk)
Located in eastern Sicily, Mount Etna is 45 km in diameter and has erupted 18 times in 2011.

Valerie Adams has recorded her 52nd straight win in world athletics this morning.
Adams threw 20.42m at an annual international meet in Lucerne, Switzerland, to take victory over Russia's Yevgeniya Kolodko by almost a metre-and-a-half.
Kolodko could only manage a disappointing 19.08m while Trinidad and Tobago's Cleopatra Borel was third with 18.72m.
Adams was due to compete again in Monaco on Saturday where she had a chance to wrap up another Diamond League series title before heading on to the Commonwealth Games.

Newey, boats and America's Cup
When Sir Ben Ainslie gets a notion to create a British team for the America's Cup boat race, he most certainly would look to the UK's prominent designers for help or overview and that would lead him directly to Adrian Newey. The Red Bull Racing designer has long toyed with the idea of designing an America's Cup boat and even came close to leaving Formula 1 back in the McLaren days but it seems that Sir Ben Ainslie may have to wait as he told BBC: 'To have the advice of Adrian or many of the very smart people involved with Formula 1 industry in the UK would be a great boost for us as a team. 'Newey is clearly a genius, in anything to do with competitive design and he's got a great...

Letter: As others see us
Thursday 17 June 1999
Go along to a "Britain in Europe" information point and you will soon find that many people are grateful to discover some factual information about the euro and the EU which has been kept from them for years by both this government and, in particular, its predecessor. And, of course, much of the press is in the hands of people with a Little England outlook who are determined to suppress any positive information on EU matters.
Suggest that the Government should be more forthcoming and there are howls of protest from the sceptics that taxpayers' money is being spent on disseminating propaganda or would be wasted ahead of any referendum. There is no real alternative to those who believe in the wider European vision standing up and keeping on saying so.

Appl. Phys. Lett. 50 (13), Mar. 30, 1987, "1.55 um Optical Logic Etalon with Picojoule Switching Energy Made of InGaAs/InP Multiple Quantum Wells", by K. Tai et al, pp. 795-797..
A semiconductor multiple quantum well mesa structure, for use as the optically active element in an optical logic or an optically controlled optical switching device, has its side surfaces implanted with surface recombination centers, whereby the optical switching speed is increased.
We claim:
1. An optical processing arrangement comprising:
(a) a semiconductor optical processing device including a multiple quantum well mesa semiconductor structure with a side surface into which have been introduced impurities that increase the surface recombination velocity of charge carriers insaid semiconductor structure, whereby the optical switching speed of the device is increased;
(b) an optical interferometer in which the multiple quantum well mesa structure is located;
(c) first and second optical source means for respectively supplying first and second optical beams incident upon the device; and
(d) optical detection and utilization means for detecting and utilizing optical radiation emitted by the device in response to the first and second beams.
This invention relates to optical processing devices, including optical logic devices and optically or electronically controlled optical switching devices, and more particularly to such optical devices which have a semiconductor mesa structure.
Semiconductor optical logic devices (logic gates) and optically or electronically controlled optical switching devices (optical switches) are useful in a variety of contexts, such as telecommunications. These devices typically operate withinputs consisting of a (binary digitally) pulsed control signal (A) and a controlled optical beam (B) which may or may not be pulsed depending upon whether the desired device is an optical logic gate or an optical switch. By "pulsed" it is meant thatthe control signal at any moment of time can have either of two intensities--typically labeled "zero" and "one" or labeled "low " and "high". In prior art, one form of such an optical switch utilizes an optically active element having the property ofdelivering the controlled beam B as output to a utilization means when the control signal A is "high" (hereinafter "1"; A=1), and of not delivering the controlled beam B when the control signal A is "low" (hereinafter "0"; A=0) i.e., a positive switch ora logic gate AB or AND, or, in the alternative, of delivering B when A is low (A=0), and not delivering B when A is "high" (A=1),i.e., a negative or inverting optical switch, a logic AB.
In a paper authored by K. Tai et al, published in Applied Physics Letters, vol. 50, pp. 795-797, entitled "1.55 .mu.m Optical Logic Etalon With Picojoule Switching Energy Made of InGaAs/InP Multiple Quantum Wells," an optical switch including anindium phosphide based multiple quantum well structure located in a Fabry-Perot etalon (multiple reflection interfermeter) was disclosed in which the control signal was an opical beam A with a wavelength of about 1.06 .mu.m and the controlled beam B hada wavelength of about 1.55 .mu.m. The purpose of the etalon is to enhance the contrast ratio of the output when the control beam A is present vs. absent, as known in the art.
It would be desirable, however, to increase the switching speed of such devices, in order that they may be more practical for use in fast operating environments, such as high speed digital optical telecommunications and optical logic.
The optical switching speed of an optical processing device comprising a semiconductor multiple quantum well mesa structure is increased by its having a side surface into which impurities have been introduced so as to increase the surfacerecombination velocity of charge carriers.
In a specific embodiment of the invention, an indium phosphide substrate supports a plurality of multiple quantum well mesa structures each comprising alternating layers of indium gallium arsenide and indium phosphide. The side surfaces of eachmesa are implanted with an impurity such as arsenic, to increase the surface recombination velocity of charge carriers--whereby, when the mesa structures are used for optical logic or switching, the speed of operation is increased by a factor of as muchas about twenty.
This invention together with its features, advantages, and characteristics can be better understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is an end view of an optical processing device in accordance with a specific embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an optical logic arrangement using the device shown in FIG. 1.
An optical processing device 1000 (FIG. 1) includes a semi-insulating indium phosphide body 10 ("substrate") upon which has been deposited an optical reflector (mirror) 201-202, multiple quantum wells 11, 12, 13 . . . 199, and 200, and anothermirror 301. Each of the mirrors 201-202 and 203 is itself a multi-layered structure, such as multiple alternating layers (not shown) of indium phosphide and indium gallium arsenide or indium aluminum gallium arsenide, deposited by chemical beam epitaxy,as known in the art. Each of these layers has a thickness of about 0.1 micrometers, so that each of the mirrors is about 92.5% reflecting at a wavelength of 1.55 micrometers, as known in the art.
Between these mirrors is located a plurality of multiple quantum well mesa structures 101, 102 . . . composed of alternating layers of indium gallium arsenide 11, 13, . . . 199 and indium phosphide 12, . . . ,200, for a total of two hundredlayers. Each of these quantum well layers is also formed by chemical beam epitaxy, as known in the art. A known anisotropic plasma etching technique is applied to the mirror 301, the multiple quantum wells 11, 12, . . . 199, 200, and the mirror 202,whereby mesas 101, 102, . . . are formed. Each of these mesas thus contains a multiple quantum well mesa structure formed by layers 11, 12, . . . 199, 200.
Advantageously, for lattice matching, the indium to gallium molar ratio in the indium gallium arsenide layers 11, 13, . . . 199 is 0.53 to 0.47. Each of these indium gallium arsenide layers 11, . . . 199 is undoped and has a thickness of 10nanometers; each of the indium phosphide layers 12, . . . 200 is also undoped but has a thickness of 15 nanometer.
The mirrors 201-202 and 301 supply a Fabry-Perot interferometer (etalon) in which the multiple quantum well mesa structures are located.
After formation of the mesas, the side surfaces of the mesas 101, 102 . . .--i.e., the cylindrical columnar surfaces running from the top of the mirror 202 to the bottom of the mirror 301--are subjected to a processing step which introducessurface recombination centers into the multiple quantum well mesa structures 11, 12, 13, . . . 199, 200, to increase the recombination velocity of charge carriers. For example, a dose of 10.sup.12 to 10.sup.13 arsenic ions per square centimeter isimplanted at about 20KeV into these side surfaces. Alternatively, other ions can be used such as oxygen; or any metal in such as gold, titanium, and the like can be implanted to a dose of about 10.sup.12 to 10.sup.14 per square centimeter, whichtransforms a neighborhood of the side surface into essentially a zero-bandgap semiconductor material or a metal, to speed up the recombination of charge carriers near the surface.
Typically the diameter of the mesas is about 5 .mu.m for switching speeds of 1 nanosecond. Mesa diameters as small as 1.0 or 0.8 micrometer can be expected to increase the speed further, by a factor of about twenty-five or more.
As shown in FIG. 2, the optical processing device 1000 is used in its reflection mode in an optical switching arrangement wherein essentially monochromatic optical beams A and B are the inputs and essentially monochromatic optical beam X is theoutput. The wavelengths of A and B are about 0.9 and 1.55 micrometer, respectively. An optical source 1001 supplies the beam A and an optical source 1002 supplies the beam B. The beam A is pulsed; the beam B is continuous wave. A first optical mirrorelement 501 is designed so as to reflect the beam A but to transmit the beam B. A second optical mirror element 502 is designed as a beam-splitting mirror i.e., is designed to reflect about one-half of the intensity of beam B and to transmit the otherhalf. In this way, both beams A and B are incident normally upon the top surface of the mesas 101, 102, . . . of the device 1000, and thereby propagate down and up in these mesas in an electromagnetic waveguide mode such that the electric fieldintensity at the side surfaces of the mesas advantageously is zero. It is advantageous that the electromagnetic field vanish at these side surfaces where the recombination centers are located, for otherwise the absorption edge of the semiconductor wouldbe broadened and hence the sensitivity of the device would undersirably be reduced: It is desirable that a small increment in the intensity of beam A should result in a large increment in the intensity of output X.
The output beam X(wavelength=1.55 micrometer) emanates from the device 1000, passes through the mirror element 501, is partially reflected by the beam splitting mirror 502, and is incident upon an optical detection and utilization means fordetecting and utilizing the optical radiation of beam X at the 1.55 micrometer wavelength. The parameters of the device 1000 are designed, by trial and error if need be, so that, when B is incident on the device, in the absence of the beam A there isessentially no reflected beam B from the Fabry-Perot interferometer formed in the device 1000. Accordingly, with a predetermined relatively small intensity of the beam A incident upon the device 1000, the nonlinear effects of A upon refractive index andabsorption edge will result in a relatively large fraction of B being reflected from the Fabry-Perot to form the beam X. In terms of logic, therefore, X=AB, or X equals A AND B, i.e., in the presence of B,X is appreciable only in the presence of A, as isdesired for optical switching of the beam B by the beam A.
For better immunity against noise in the beam A, at some sacrifice of sensitivity to A, a slight offset in the parameters of the device can be incorporated such that the absolute minimum of the intensity of B occurs when A is not quite equal tozero but is equal to a fration (e.g., about 0.3) of the above-mentioned predetermined relatively small intensity.
Although the invention has been described in detail in terms of a specific embodiment, various modification can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, instead of the reflection mode, the transmission mode of theetalon can be used, in which case the detection means 1003 is located on the other side of the device 1000 and the output X=AB, with B=1. Also, both beams A and B can be pulsed, so that both A and B are logic variables, with X=AB for the case ofdetection of X after reflection by the etalon and with X=AB for the case of detection of X after transmission through the etalon.
Moreover, by doping the mirrors with impurities or by otherwise making them electrically conductive, and attaching electrodes to these mirrors, the beam B can be electronically controlled by an electrical signal A applied to the electrodes,whereby an electronically controlled optical modulator, switch, or logic device can be formed.

Everyone wants healthy kids - and health insurance is certainly a big part of it. But are more kids insured today? ABC's Dr. Timothy Johnson has more in this Medical Minute.
Children are our future - one that's the most vulnerable to a lack of health insurance. It often means no checkups, no vaccinations. Here is some great news. According to a new report by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the percentage of American children going without health insurance has declined, from 9.7% in 2008 to 7.5% in 2012.
Children gained coverage in all 50 states, and disparities in coverage by race and ethnicity are heading downward.
With the Affordable Care Act kicking in, even more children will get coverage.
Children who had fallen through the cracks - low income, minority kids without insurance - look to gain the most. Sorry about all the shots, kids, but take a lollypop - you'll be healthier in the long run.

I can't see the picture so I'll just tell you where I was when this happened instead. My friend and I were playing Halo while trying to come to grips with the fact that Purdue was about to spoil our dream season. But we had the game on in the small Picture in Picture box in the corner of the screen. Needless to say we turned off the Xbox shortly afterwards.
Don't put 2002 Ohio State in the same sentence as Florida State ever again. I hate this team.
He put it where only his guy could get it.
I'm hoping Urban & Herman allow for J.T. to pad his stats in a big way today - A monster stat line will not only enhance Barrett's legitimacy in the Heisman race, but will also benefit the perception of our offense as a rising juggernaut and of our team as a whole.
I see where you are going, but if we make it to the playoff and beat Bama... my joy will far outweigh any snide comment that a SEC homer could make, in fact their tears would only make the victory sweeter.
I would consider UCLA one of the best in the PAC 12.
Oohh man...
Really really wishing Wisconsin would've beaten LSU and not gotten upset by NW... but as a whole things are looking up for the conference. If the B1G can pull off a decent to good bowl record it could go a long way in changing the perception for next season, especially if TTUN gets a big name coach. PSU is on the rise and although I don't like them it's a good thing that Franklin is bringing some new energy to the program. The Buckeyes kicking ass in the playoffs won't hurt things, either.
No Rothman? He is my favorite personality on the network.
You are right about those two guys, I suppose I was just thinking in Mariota's case he has been a marquee player for the past several seasons in college football and giving him the award seems to the sensible choice this year since A) His stats are good B) He is the leader of a very good team and C) There aren't really any other players making enough noise to knock him from the top spot (JT's stats are certainly comparable, though).
The Heisman has almost become something of a career accomplishment award. Had JT been hyped before the season then things may be different.
Of those five, three of them garnered quite a bit of negative off the field attention. RG3 won the Heisman as a senior, JT is a RS Freshman who hadn't played in 2 years. Moral of the story is that I'll take JTB any day of the week. He has a good head on his shoulders and the ceiling is very high.
Thumbs up brother
Wisconsin can't throw. We get a decent lead on them and they might be forced to.
But even after all of that, he remains incredibly humble and incredibly poised.
This is what makes me feel confident that he is only going to improve. This season almost doesn't seem real to me, we are very very fortunate as Buckeye fans. The game today might have been frustrating but let's not take for granted how special our QB play has been and is going to be for years to come.
"Hey shouldn't you be up north defending the wall? Hahahahaha."
There is a Brady Hoke joke here somewhere but I'm too drowsy this morning to find it.
He will out rush Cobb.
Those are both pretty gnarly man, I can dig em.
I liked TFF much better with Rothman & Demetrius. No disrespect to the current crew but they feel like the B team.
Bugged me too but not much you can do - Herbstreit was talking over the band, no way to disguise it or remove it.
Thanks Salty, it is a labor of love. I started making them as a side hobby just for myself and it's grown from there, always really cool to see the positive feedback from people. The OSU video team blows my mind with the stuff they produce, all the little subtleties and nuances with the music, it's great stuff. I would do more speed games but I can't always find the time during the week and I hate getting behind on games.
Good read, love the roundtables each week.
