The Daily Caller sent a "special message" to its email list from sponsor Stansberry Research, a disgraced financial firm that was fined $1.5 million by the Securities and Exchange Commission for engaging in "deliberate fraud" and profiting from "false statements." The Caller's paid promotion comes three years after the conservative website reported that Stansberry is led by a "fraudster" and engages in "questionable marketing tactics."
Media Matters and others have documented how the conservative movement is infected with scams and many conservative media outlets are happy to dupe their followers for profit.
The Daily Caller, which is led by editor-in-chief Tucker Carlson, sent a February 12 email featuring Stansberry Research with the headline, "DIY: Shield yourself from Market Crash." The email warns that people must take "precautions against a serious market crash and financial crisis" and can do so by purchasing founder Porter Stansberry's "Personal Blueprint For Surviving the Coming Currency Collapse." The email marketing is a way to get people to sign up for a "full 1-year Stansberry's Investment Advisory subscription. We'll bill your same credit card just $99."
The email contained the note: "Please read this special message from our sponsor, Stansberry Research. Note that the following message reflects the opinions and representations of our sponsor alone, and not necessarily the editorial positions of The Daily Caller."
The Daily Caller published a November 8, 2011, piece headlined, "Meet Porter Stansberry, the fraudster behind ominous 'NewAmerica3′ ads." The Caller reported that television viewers are seeing "strange, disjointed ads promoting" Stansberry's website and what "most viewers don't know is that the man behind the ad has been found liable in the past for defrauding investors." The Caller added that the firm engages in "questionable marketing tactics" and produces videos "ominously warning of an apocalyptic future."
Fox News contributor Robert Jeffress believes that gay marriage and the film release of Fifty Shades of Grey are signs that the apocalypse is nearing. Jeffress said "the Bible prophesized that in the End Times, there will be a lack of moral restraint. And I think we're seeing that manifested in so many different ways."
Jeffress is an evangelical pastor with a long history of incendiary remarks. He is an anti-gay bigot who believes gays lead a "miserable lifestyle," homosexuality is linked to pedophilia, and gay people are promiscuous and engaged in "filthy behavior," and "brainwashing activit[ies]." He's compared Mormonism to a cult, called Islam an "evil, evil, religion," referred to Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism as "false religions," and said Catholicism is a "counterfeit religion" that rose from a "cult-like, pagan religion."
Despite Jeffress' controversial history, cable news programs frequently host him and Fox News employs him as a contributor.
During a February 10 appearance on Fox News Radio's The Alan Colmes Show, Jeffress said he saw "radical Islam," gay marriage, and Fifty Shades of Grey as signs of the coming apocalypse.
Jeffress claimed: "The Apostle Paul said in 2 Timothy 1 that in the last days it will be terrible times. And that word terrible means lack of moral restraint. And I think we're seeing that everywhere, whether it is the attempt to change the most basic unit of society, the family and marriage by redefinition of marriage. Or the acceptance of perversion. You know, this Fifty Shades of Grey, or Fifty Shades of Perversion. I think that's symptomatic of what is happening."
On gay marriage, Jeffress added, "I believe that gays have the same constitutional rights as heterosexuals. No doubt about it. But I agree with our last guest that marriage is not a constitutional right. If it were, Alan, 15-year-olds could marry. Siblings could marry." He then asked if a father and daughter should also have the right to marry if same-sex couples could.
Jeffress said he hadn't seen or read Fifty Shades of Grey, but from what he read it "tends to objectify women -- put them in a bondage situation." When asked about if he approves of that in a voluntary situation, he replied, "that's her business." He added that "this movie may represent a new low in popular entertainment. That's all I'm saying. And I'm just saying the Bible prophesized that in the End Times, there will be a lack of moral restraint. And I think we're seeing that manifested in so many different ways."
Fox News Radio host Tom Sullivan is backtracking and brazenly lying about his controversial remarks calling bipolar disorder "made up" and "the latest fad." While Sullivan now claims his remarks were taken "out of context," this defense is preposterous. He repeatedly dismissed the validity of bipolar disorder and the clip used by Media Matters was the same one posted by his employer with the headline "(AUDIO) Bipolar Woman Says She DESERVES Disability Benefits. Tom Tells Her She's WRONG!"
During his January 28 program, Sullivan told a caller who said she suffered from bipolar disorder that "bipolar is like the latest fad." He also claimed, "I just think it's something made up by the mental health business," and "I don't know why we have to create these new illnesses" for something that "wasn't a problem in the first place."
Sullivan's remarks generated condemnation from Rep. Grace Napolitano (D-CA), members of the media, mental health advocates, people on social media, and online petitioners. Many have pointed out that comments like Sullivan's only further stigmatize those suffering from mental illness.
Rep. Grace Napolitano (D-CA) criticized Fox News Radio host Tom Sullivan for his "unfounded" and "senseless" remarks last week calling bipolar disorder "made up" and "the latest fad."
In a statement provided to Media Matters, Napolitano said that Sullivan's "senseless speech discourages listeners and viewers from seeking treatment they need, halting the progress we have made toward the goal of eliminating stigma." She added: "Rather than minimizing people who have the courage to talk about their illness we should be lifting them up, so others know it is always okay to ask for help."
The California congresswoman is a longtime mental health advocate and was the co-chair of the Congressional Mental Health Caucus in the 108th through 112th (2003-2013) Congresses.
Sullivan, who is also a Fox Business contributor and regular guest anchor, said on his January 28 Fox News Radio program that people with mental illness have figured how to "game the system" by receiving disability benefits. He added, "they're mostly government employees and they know how to do it."
Alex Jones defended ally and "listener" Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) from media attacks over his controversial vaccination remarks by lashing out at a CNBC anchor who challenged Paul. Jones, who helped Paul get elected to the Senate in 2010, called CNBC's Kelly Evans a "whore" and "pimp" for "signing on to a system of murder, you little piece of trash, tramp, filth, scum woman!"
Paul has been heavily criticized after he said this week that vaccines should be voluntary because there are purportedly "many tragic cases of walking, talking, normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines." Paul has faced further criticism for attempting to shush CNBC's Evans during their contentious conversation about vaccines.
Jones is a leading conspiracy theorist. His own biography states he "is considered one of the very first founding fathers of the 9-11 Truth Movement." He has also alleged bizarre conspiracies about the Aurora movie theater shooting, the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, among many others.
In a February 3 video posted to his YouTube channel, Jones lashed out at critics of Sen. Paul.
Rand Paul's connection to leading conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is under new scrutiny after the Republican senator recently claimed vaccines could lead to "mental disorders."
In 2009, Paul was interviewed for Jones' Infowars.com and claimed "martial law" could lead to "mandatory" vaccinations. Paul is one of Jones' biggest enablers even though the radio host has pushed fringe theories about 9-11, mass shootings, and the federal government.
Paul has been heavily criticized after he said this week that vaccines should be voluntary because there are purportedly "many tragic cases of walking, talking, normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines." Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie also recently said parents should have "some measure of choice" about vaccinations.
The Washington Post reported that "Medical experts reacted with alarm" to their remarks. MIT professor Seth Mnookin, who has written extensively on the "devastating" anti-vaccine movement, said the comments were "incredibly, incredibly irresponsible." University of Pittsburgh Dr. Amesh Adalja said people like Paul are "giving credence to things that have been completely debunked" and "called the comments from Paul particularly troubling because Paul is a doctor."
Paul raised the specter of big government and "martial law" when talking about vaccines during an August 21, 2009 interview, as Media Matters Action Network reported in 2010. He said that "the first sort of thing you see with martial law is mandates. And they're talking about making it mandatory. I worry because the last flu vaccine we had in the 1970s, more people died from the vaccine than died from the swine flu."
Paul, who was a U.S. Senate candidate at the time, added that he would have taken the smallpox and polio vaccine, but urged caution on vaccines in general, stating: "I say you have to be careful, you have to weigh the risks of the disease versus the risks of the vaccine, but I'm not going to tell people who think it's a bad idea that they have to take it because everybody should be allowed to make their own health care decisions, and that's the problem with allowing more and more government."
Fox News Radio host Tom Sullivan told a caller who said she suffered from bipolar disorder that her illness is "something made up by the mental health business" and just "the latest fad." When the caller told Sullivan that she "would not be alive today" if she hadn't received mental health treatment, Sullivan wondered if "maybe somebody's talked you into feeling and thinking this way."
Sullivan, who is also a frequent Fox Business contributor and guest anchor, began his January 28 program by complaining that people with mental illness have figured how to "game the system" by receiving disability benefits. "They're mostly government employees and they know how to do it," he added. Sullivan also defended Sen. Rand Paul's (R-KY) controversial and false statement that "Over half the people on disability are either anxious or their back hurts."
A caller later challenged Sullivan over his remarks, saying she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder thirteen years ago and mental health treatment allowed her to graduate from college and obtain a full-time job. The caller, who now volunteers with Stop Stigma Sacramento, noted that bipolar disorder isn't a made up illness and is biological.
Fox News contributor Karl Rove is warning Republicans that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton might be "happy" to get criticized over Benghazi, comparing it to how President Obama supposedly "loved" birther attacks. Rove's declaration comes after years of trying to use the 2012 attacks to bludgeon a potential Clinton presidential bid.
Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the House committee investigating the September 11, 2012, attacks in Benghazi, Libya, told reporters earlier this week that Clinton is willing to testify before the committee. Clinton previously testified before House and Senate committees in January 2013.
Rove discussed Clinton's willingness to testify on the January 28 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor. When asked by host Bill O'Reilly what would be Clinton's biggest weakness, Rove replied "foreign policy" and pointed to several alleged failures but did not initially mention Benghazi.
O'Reilly then noted that Clinton now "wants to testify about Benghazi and get that all clear." Rove responded that Benghazi "could be a problem" but "I'm beginning to suspect that Mrs. Clinton might have been happy to let the Benghazi thing go forward" in the same way that President Obama "loved having conservatives talk about" his birth certificate. Rove added: "She's really, if you get into, isolated, insulated from it." From the segment:
O'REILLY: All right. But you know that that's not on the minds of the American people. That's not even in the top five in the general foreign policy arena. Terrorism is but not foreign policy. And the other thing is Mrs. Clinton has said that now she wants to testify about Benghazi and get that all clear.
ROVE: Yeah, look. Benghazi could be a problem. My sense is this is sort of like potentially like President Obama. And remember how he let all this conversation go about how he was not really born in the United States of America and it took him years before he finally put it out? He loved having conservatives talk about it.
I'm beginning to suspect that Mrs. Clinton might have been happy to let the Benghazi thing go forward and the controversy to be there because she has some asbestos. She's really, if you get into, isolated, insulated from it, I don't know. But the overall picture of foreign policy is going to be difficult for her to defend the record.
Rove's statement comes after years of attempts to make Benghazi a political liability for Clinton.
Erick Erickson's email list subscribers have received a bizarre array of pitches from conspiracy theorists and dubious practitioners warning of the impending death of millions of Americans and promising "cures" to cancer, Alzheimer's, and aging.
Politico's Ken Vogel recently reported how the conservative movement has been infected by "scam PACs," which "critics say exist mostly to pad the pockets of the consultants who run them." One of the favorite avenues for these sketchy schemes is the email list of Fox News contributor Erick Erickson's RedState.com.
Vogel wrote that Erickson is a frequent critic of dubious PACs, yet RedState's list has promoted many of their efforts. Erickson told Vogel he does not control who rents his list, "and it horrifies me that the list sometimes get rented to some of these guys."
In addition to dubious PAC emails, RedState has sent sponsored missives about "Reagan's Secret Victory Over Cancer," "Obama's Deadly FDA Secret," "1 Weird Trick to KILL old age," items to "hoard" to protect your family from starving, and the "Obama scandal" that "WILL KILL MILIONS [sic]."
RedState is owned by Salem Media company Townhall Media, which manages RedState's email list. According to them, the dedicated RedState emails reach 265,000 subscribers. Other Salem properties include Townhall.com, Human Events, and HotAir.com. Many emails sent to RedState's list also went to the lists of those sites.
Below are six shady products and pitches RedState has sent to Erickson's email list in recent months.
Politico's Ken Vogel today examined how "the conservative movement has been plagued by an explosion of PACs that critics say exist mostly to pad the pockets of the consultants who run them." Media Matters has similarly found that conservative media is infected with scams, touting cancer "cures," dubious financial companies, reverse mortgages, and fringe penny stocks.
Vogel noted the financial stakes of the proliferation of these shady groups:
A POLITICO analysis of reports filed with the Federal Election Commission covering the 2014 cycle found that 33 PACs that court small donors with tea party-oriented email and direct-mail appeals raised $43 million -- 74 percent of which came from small donors. The PACs spent only $3 million on ads and contributions to boost the long-shot candidates often touted in the appeals, compared to $39.5 million on operating expenses, including $6 million to firms owned or managed by the operatives who run the PACs. POLITICO's list is not all-inclusive, and some conservatives fret that it's almost impossible to identify all the groups that are out there, let alone to rein them in.
Vogel explained that Fox News contributor and influential conservative activist Erick Erickson is a frequent critic of these dubious PACs, yet the email list bearing his website has nonetheless promoted some of their efforts. Erickson told Vogel he does not control who rents his list, "and it horrifies me that the list sometimes get rented to some of these guys."
Media Matters has previously documented how conservatives have scammed their followers. Erickson, for example, was caught sending a plagiarized email (from Ann Coulter) endorsing a newsletter which purported to reveal a "secret" system to become "instant millionaires."
Here are 11 recent examples of how conservatives have been scamming their followers:

Taken at about 11.30am, Australia Day, 26 January 2009.
The ficifolia (flowering gum) are looking absolutely wonderful at the moment. There's an avenue leading out of the back way of town (Bacchus Marsh) which is just beginning to flourish. It's going to look awesome.
excellent work well done
beautiful composition! :) the gums gets more abundant than this??
They're pretty special Jen. This one is just on its own. An avenue of them was planted as part of Federation on one of the minor entrances to the town. They're only half grown but so far already look awesome.

beautiful, I love red flowering gum
me too, Soxy. I couldn't pass this one by; on my way to do photos somewhere else for the paper and it was such a gorgeous day.

front range foothills
Juniperus scopulorum in Mt. Olivet Cemetary, Wheat Ridge, Colorado.
I previously posted this pic about a year ago. At the time, bboy raised the possibility that it may be a named cultivar.
Recently, I came across this story written by Scott Wilmore, relating the discovery of Juniperus scopulorum 'Gray Gleam', excerpted from The History of W.W. Wilmore Nursery.
The residence for the inventor Scott Wilmore matches the location of the cemetary (Wheat Ridge, CO).
According to the story, Scott Wilmore and Bob More were scouting in Mt. Vernon Canyon.
Here is an incredible photo, looking down Mt. Vernon Canyon, toward Denver (Library of Congress, December 1942).
Just a few years before they found that tree.
The road is U.S. Highway 40, constructed on the north side of the canyon in 1937.
The conifers appear much as they do today, J. scopulorum, P. ponderosa, and P. menziesii.
With sparser coverage along the southern-facing part of the canyon, and more dense coverage along the northern-facing slopes (where more snow moisture is retained, due to shade).
Now a pic from yesterday, looking up Mt. Vernon Canyon toward the west.
Here you can see Interstate 70, which was opened in the early 1960's. It runs along the old Hwy 40.
Juniperus scopulorum
i did not read the patent .... so forgive me if i ask some stupid questions ...
are you suggesting that that is the original plant in the last pic ....
and are you suggesting he planted one in the cemetery???
how old do you think the cemetery one is????
thx again
Nate, what a beautiful story about that conifer. I really love reading the history about plants. I too like the old photo with the antique car.
Thank you for sharing.
TJ, Dave, Ken, Edwin, and Ladylotus, glad you enjoyed.
Ken, nothing special about the plant in the last pic, it's just representative of the junipers in this area.
I don't know if Wilmore planted the one in the cemetary, but he had a nursery in the same town. Maybe sold trees to the cemetary?
Don't know how old the cemetary one is, but might be able to make a guess as to when it was planted. Stay tuned on that one!
Here's another one from the same cemetary.
Platycladus orientalis
Back to the foothills now, here's a few more pics from the place near where we hiked, the Dakota Hogback.
Juniperus scopulorum and Pinus ponderosa, typical of the hogback near Denver.

Soil analysis
Looking north toward the Flatirons, there is the the city of Golden.
Pinus ponderosa and Juniperus scopulorum
Boy, sluice, that sticky clay on the shoe looks familiar, especially since that wonderful snow cover we enjoyed for a couple of months has melted. I've been more sliding around than walking.
It's a good illustration of why we're tempted to amend our soil along the front range.
Great pics, as always!
Ken, I'm guessing that juniper is around 75 years old, give or take.
Went by the cemetary today, and the tombstones near the juniper had dates from 1940 to 1943.
This assumes the juniper was not more than a few years old when it was planted (at about the same time the tombstone was set).
And probably rules out the possibility that the juniper is Gray Gleam, which was found in 1945.
Here is a newer part of the cemetary, with smaller conifers.
Yea, Barb, the joys of clay!
I suspect all who garden in heavy clay eventually come to terms on how to deal with it.
For me, copious amounts of amendment goes a long way toward maintaining my sanity.
Clay, it's the pits!
Now, a few more pics from the weekend excursion.
Junipers, and Mt. Vernon canyon
Thrush? along the Dakota Hogback, with pinus ponderosa and juniperus scopulorum.
Juniperus scopulorum cones
Pinus ponderosa cone
South Table mountain, and the city of Golden. The athletic fields are at the School of Mines.
A little higher up, another view of South Table, with Denver in the distance.
Pinus ponderosa and Pseudotsuga menziesii
South Table again.
Pinus ponderosa and Pseudotsuga menziesii
In Western Europe we've the Turdus merulus which is a causin of the Turdus migratorius.
In the past I had several mutations of these blackbirds in my aviary and I breeded these with a great success.
Breeding European birds mutations was a hobby of mine before I started with conifers...
Turdus merulus
Breeding birds is as cool as cultivating conifers.
The big difference is that we can multiply conifers at the time we want, birds doesn't do that, they don't let them forced and all will be done in a natural way.
Just like conifers, there are also bird mutations but I guess there will be another forum for those...
Here is a link that might be useful: blackbird mutations
Thanks Resin and Coniferjoy for the bird info!
Severnside, glad you enjoyed!
This is Clear Creek canyon, just outside of Golden.
Juniperus scopulorum, with a few Pinus ponderosa on the ridge
Here's North Table mountain, companion to South Table.
Mesas formed by lava flow. If you look close, you can see a few Juniperus scopulorum up there.
It's a good place to hike, with views of the Denver area.
Juniperus scopulorum near the rim.

Kate Lochte speaks with the Executive Director of the Kentucky Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Virginia Moore and a Commission staff advisor who is deaf, Anita Dowd. Kentucky Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Executive Director Virginia Moore says that her goals include improvements for deaf inmates in the correctional system and equal access to educational opportunities for deaf and hard of hearing children.

Do you know what's my biggest fear?
I'm going to tell you,that's why your here
My biggest fear is of losing you,
If you ever left I don't know what I'd do
I miss you even on the week-ends.
I love you so much because your my best friend
If I don't say anything for a whole day,
It's because I'm speechless of the luck that came my way
If we ever fight or disagree
Don't blame yourself just blame me.
I never want you to feel alone
Because in you eyes I see my home,
Home is where the heart is and it's true
My heart will always be with you.

Gregor Kresal spent 30 years of his life climbing mountains until a tragic accident in 2008 in Pakistan led to the death of a teammate and the arduous rescue of another one. Even though he has given up climbing, his expeditions provide a rich source of dramatic material for his movies.

About this location
The Dalmatia region
Dubrovnik is city rich with culture and history so it is listed in UNESCO World Heritage List. Dubrovnik Old Town was built in the 13th century and remains almost untouched to the present day. Tall walls surround Dubrovnik Old Town.
Dubrovnik - The 'Pearl of the Adriatic', situated on the Dalmatian coast, became an important Mediterranean sea power from the 13th century onwards. Although severely damaged by an earthquake in 1667.
Dubrovnik city walls is The most recognizable feature which defines the physiognomy of the historic city of Dubrovnik and gives it its characteristic appearance, famous all over the world, are its intact city walls, which run uninterrupted for 1940 meters encircling the city. This complex structure, one of the most beautiful and strongest for system in the Mediterranean, consists of a series of forts, bastions, casemates, towers and detached forts.
Dubrovnik managed to preserve its beautiful Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, monasteries, palaces and fountains.

"Great location, wonderful hosts and a perfect apartment"
We wanted to stay in the heart of the old town so the location of this apartment is perfect as its off the Main Street in Dubrovnik.
The flat owner Roberto picked us up at the airport as promised and helped us with our cases, a nice touch was the welcome drinks and biscuits and also meeting his parents.
The flat is exactly as described and spotless clean, air con, wifi and cooking facilities are good and so we were very happy to stay here.
The flat is on the side of the old town with stairs up to the city walls and so you can sit outside on the steps and have some drinks or read a book as you see lots of people doing this all over the city.
Location is super as you have many restaurants and cafes on your door step buts its high enough up the stairs not to get affected with any noise from the bars.
Towels are changed regularly and linen every weekend and as mentioned earlier the flat is cleaned to a high standard.
Robertos father (Peter) was very helpful with tips on good restaurants and trips and all the family were very kind with nothing too much bother to them.
You could not hope for a better family to look after you on your holiday.

EOP3046 Optical Waveguides and Devices 2008/2009 OW2: Simulation of Optical Planar Waveguide I. Objective of Experiment To learn how to create a 2D waveguide structure, define variables, set appropriate launch fields and perform mode calculations using BeamProp. To find the modes supported by this 2D symmetric slab waveguide. (Since this will be a scalar calculation, polarization dependencies will not be considered). II. BeamPROP* BeamPROP is a highly integrated CAD tool and simulation engine for the design of photonic devices and photonic integrated circuits. The software incorporates advanced finite-difference beam propagation (BPM) techniques for simulation with RSoft's modern graphical user interface for ease of circuit layout and analysis. The benefit of good design and modeling tools is well known in the electronics industry, where both device and circuit simulation programs, such as PICSES and SPICE have been instrumental in advancing the availability and use of integrated electronic circuits. BeamPROP brings this important capability to the photonics area, and can be an extremely useful tool for research and development groups in both university and industrial environments. The objective of BeamPROP is to provide a general simulation package for computing the propagation of light waves in arbitrary waveguide geometries and it has the capability for computing the waveguide modes. There are several reasons for the popularity of BPM; perhaps the most significant being that it is conceptually straightforward, allowing rapid implementation of the basic technique. This conceptual simplicity also benefits the user of a BPM-based modeling tool as well as the implementer, since an understanding of the results and proper usage of the tool can be readily grasped by a non-expert in numerical methods. In addition to its relative simplicity, BPM is generally a very efficient method, and has the characteristic that its computational complexity can, in most cases, be optimal, that is to say the computational effort is directly proportional to the number of grid points used in the numerical simulation. Another characteristic of BPM is that the approach is readily applied to complex geometries without having to develop specialized versions of the method. Furthermore the approach automatically includes the effects of both guided and radiating fields as well as mode coupling and conversion. Finally, the BPM technique is very flexible and extensible, allowing inclusion of most effects of interest (e.g. polarization, nonlinearities) by extensions of the basic method that fit within the same overall framework. III. Introduction The simplest optical waveguide structure is the step-index planar slab waveguide. This waveguide consists of a high-index dielectric layer (core) surrounded on either side by lower-index material (cladding) as shown in Figure 1. The slab is finite in the x direction and infinite in extent in the yz-plane. The index of refraction of the guiding core layer is larger than that of the * RSoft BeamProp 5.1.1 manual cover material (top cladding layer) and substrate material (bottom cladding layer) in order for total internal reflection to occur at the interface. The waveguide is symmetry if the cover and substrate materials have the same index of refraction, otherwise the waveguide is called asymmetric guide. Both types are used in the integrated optics. Figure 1 shows the light rays making angles greater than the critical angle, undergoes multiple total internal reflections at the slab boundaries. 1 EOP3046 Optical Waveguides and Devices 2008/2009 x z cladding n2 n1 0 cladding n2 -d/2 d/2 y Guided ray core Figure 1: Geometry of the Slab Optical Waveguide. Considering a symmetric waveguide, with a sinusoidally time-varying wave propagates in the z direction. The propagation constant in the z direction is . The electric and magnetic components of the wave are expressed as E E0 ( x, y )e j ( z t ) H H 0 ( x, y )e j ( z t ) The term E and the corresponding magnetic field distribution H describes the transverse structure of the field and is call the mode structure or mode shape. A mode is the field configuration or distribution in the waveguide. Two family of modes can be supported by this slab waveguide, transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM). The TE modes have their electric field parallel to the y-axis and no longitudinal electric field, that is, Ez = 0. The TM modes have their magnetic fields parallel to the y-axis and no longitudinal magnetic field, that is Hz = 0. The TE and TM modes are denotes as TEm and TMm modes. The subscripts m is call the order of the mode or the mode number. The lowest-order or fundamental mode corresponding to m = 0. Figure 2 shows the field patterns of several of the lower-order TE modes. The order of a mode is equal to the number of field zeros across the guide. The mode patterns in Figure 2 shows that the electric fields of the guided modes are not completely confined to the central of the waveguide(core), i.e. they do not goes to zero at the guide-cladding interface, but, instead, they extend partially into the cladding. The fields vary harmonically in the core and decay exponentially at the cladding region. For lower-order modes, the fields are tightly concentrated near the center of the core, with little penetration into the cladding region. For higher-order modes the fields are distributed more towards the edges of the guide and penetrate further into the cladding region. 2 EOP3046 Optical Waveguides and Devices 2008/2009 TE0 Cladding, n2 TE1 TE2 Exponential decay Core, n1 Exponential decay Figure 2: Electric field distribution of TE modes for several of the lower-order guided modes in a symmetrical waveguide. We often use the terms single-mode or multimode to characterize a waveguide. A waveguide can support a different number of modes depending on its thickness. For a symmetric waveguide, it can always support at least one mode. By changing the relative indices between the layers, the number of modes will vary. The approximations of the number of the guided modes can be found from, 1 M where, k 2 kd(n12 n 2 ) 2 2 is the propagation constant, d is the thickness of the core and n1 and n2 is the index of refraction of the core and cladding respectively. The approximation is best when M is a large integer. The number of modes, N is an approximation and usually should be rounded up to the next larger integer to get the accurate number of modes that will be guided by the structure. Note that the mode count increases with the thickness, d, of the guide, with the 2 difference in index ( n12 n2 ) between the core and cladding, and as the wavelength of the guided light gets shorter. We usually characterize a waveguide by normalized frequency, defined as, 2 V kd (n12 n2 ) 2 1 In terms of normalized frequency, the number of modes, M V When a pulse is launched on a waveguide, in digital communication system, the pulse energy will become distributed over all the allowed modes that are excited in the waveguide. Each mode however has a different propagation constant and hence travels at a slightly different velocity. Thus each mode arrives at 3 EOP3046 Optical Waveguides and Devices 2008/2009 the receiving point at a different phase and the signal is distorted. This distortion is called mode dispersion. A signal in a single-mode waveguide is not distorted by mode dispersion. IV. 2D Waveguide Types in BeamProp 2D structures are very simple to define in the RSoft CAD interface. They consist of only a Waveguide Width, Index Difference, and a starting and ending vertex as shown in Figure 2. By default, the cross section of the segment is assumed to be step-index; however, this can be changed via a profile function. Note: the index difference, n, is equal to the difference between the core refractive index and the cladding refractive index in the context of a symmetric slab waveguide, and n0 is the background index. This is the index of refraction for the background material in which the waveguide components will be embedded. It is essentially the index of the cladding material for the case of symmetric slab waveguide. Figure2*: The basic 2D structure definition. Note that the propagation direction is along Z. V. Simulation Procedures (Students are advised to familiarise with the icons/commands of the softwares) 1. Launch the RSoft CAD program from the window's Start>Program>RSoft Photonics CAD Suite>RSoft CAD-Layout. 2. Click on the New Circuit icon in the toolbar. We are going to create a 2D symmetric slab waveguide with a core index ncore a cladding index ncladding, and a width of 10 µm at a wavelength of 1.3 µm. 3. Enter the information below into startup dialog: Free Space Wavelength = 1.3 Background Index = 3.378 (this refers to the cladding index) Index Difference = 0.0067 Waveguide Width = 10 4 EOP3046 Optical Waveguides and Devices 2008/2009 4. Click OK button to continue. 5. Click on the Edit Symbols icon and the Symbol Table Editor will appear. 6. Set the length of the waveguide by defining a variable (symbol) and set it equal to 100000. Click New Symbol, enter the symbol Name (Length) and Value (100000), and then click Accept Symbol. The variable Length should now appear in the symbol table. Click OK button to continue. 7. Choose the straight waveguide component, or Segment Mode. Move the cross-hair cursor to the beginning of the straight waveguide section located at the coordinates (X=0, Z=0). Press, but do not release the left mouse button, and move the cursor to the end of the straight waveguide section located around the coordinates (X=0, Z=50). The length of the waveguide segment will use the variable defined previously. The waveguide segment is drawn with the center line displayed in black, and the left and right edges in red. Click Undo Last Change to restore to its previous state if a mistake is made when adding any waveguide component. 8. Open the Segment Properties window for this waveguide by right clicking on the segment in the CAD window. 9. Select the Reference Type of the Z coordinate of the Ending Vertex to be offset, and in Reference To: Component 1, Vertex 0. (This tells the software that the Z coordinate of the ending vertex of this segment, or Segment #1, should be computed as an offset from the starting vertex, or vertex 0, of this segment, or component 1. This offset will therefore equal the length of the segment.) 10. Set the Parameter Value equal to the variable Length. 11. To zoom in to see the whole structure choose the View/Full from the CAD menu, and then choose View/Regrid. 12. You may notice that the waveguide you have drawn does not have the same shape as the previous one. This is most likely due to the aspect ratio of the display window. To set the aspect ratio of the CAD window, choose View/Set View Parameters from the CAD menu. Check the box Lock Aspect, and change the Aspect Ratio to 1. This sets the aspect ratio of the CAD window to 1. 13. Click Display Index Profile icon in the left toolbar and press OK in this dialog that will display the index profile at the Z Domain Min value. It is very useful to measure the index distribution in order to verify the layout. 14. To save the index profile to a data file, enter an Output File Prefix in the simulation parameters dialog. After pressing OK, the graph will be displayed, and the index profile will be saved in the file <prefix>.ipf, and a corresponding WinPLOT command file for the graph will be saved in the file <prefix>.ppf, where <prefix> is the output prefix specified. 15. Click on the Edit Launch Field icon to define the launch field and choose the Launch Type equals to Slab Mode and Launch Position X equals to 0 and these will launch the field from the center of the waveguide. Click OK. 16. Click Compute Fundamental Mode icon from the left toolbar, this will bring up a Simulation Parameters dialog. Set the mode calculation parameters as bellow: 5 EOP3046 Optical Waveguides and Devices 2008/2009 17. Enter an Output File Prefix (e.g. mode). Click the Output… button and make sure the Slice Output is set to None; this will generate files at each point along Z, and is unnecessary for a mode calculation. Set the Display Mode to Contour Map (XY). Then click OK. When the simulation is completed, the computed fundamental mode will be displayed. Note that the mode files will only be saved if the Output File Prefix is specified. 18. To find the possible mode that can propagate through this waveguide, choose Run/Compute Mode/Option… from the menu and select the Iterative Mode Solver. Then go to Run/Compute Mode/All to bring up a Simulation Parameters dialog. Enter an Output File Prefix (e.g. mode). Click the Output… button and make sure the Slice Output is set to None. Set the Display Mode to Contour Map (XY). Click OK in the Simulation Parameters dialog box to run the mode solver. Note that only the fundamental mode will be displayed on the screen. To view the other resulting modes, use the View Graphs icon on the top of the screen and select the files that begin with the Output File Prefix (that set previously, e.g. mode). Each mode found will have two files: the mode data is contained in the file <prefix>.m##, and has a corresponding WinPLOT command file <prefix>.p##, where ## is the mode number. VI. Exercise 1. Use the Symbol Table to change each of the following values and find the resulting modes and observe the mode profiles for each case with respect to the original setting in the section V: a. width to 5m and 25m. b. core index to 3.3800 and 3.402 with the width set to 5m. (i.e need to find the index difference from these core index from the cladding index) c. wavelength to 0.89m and 0.63m with the width set to 5m and core index set to 3.3872. Note: Save the results in different Output File Prefix. 2. Using the value in part1 (a), (b) and (c), calculate the Normalize Frequency and number of possible modes that can supported by the waveguide. 6 EOP3046 Optical Waveguides and Devices 2008/2009 VII. Lab report format, evaluation and submission 1. The report should be nicely typed and should include the following: Date of experiment Objectives Apparatus Summary of procedures (in passive and past tense) Results/answers for all the assignments Discussions Conclusions References Appendix A: Detailed contributions by each student in the group for the experiment (e.g. tasks, ideas, etc. during the session), and report (e.g. page numbers, sections, paragraphs, etc.), respectively.

FDA chief grilled on meningitis outbreak as new documents emerge
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration conceded on Tuesday that the agency could have been more aggressive in its oversight of the compounding pharmacy at the center of a deadly meningitis outbreak.
Testifying at a contentious congressional hearing, FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said a confusing legal landscape, combined with resistance from compounding pharmacies, had hampered her agency's ability to act on a myriad of complaints against the New England Compounding Center and its sister company, Ameridose LLC.
"I wish we had acted earlier," Hamburg told a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee looking into the outbreak, which has killed 53 people and sickened more than 700.
The hearing was the second held by the committee to determine whether the FDA could have prevented the outbreak and whether it needs greater powers to regulate pharmacies that compound drugs tailored for specific patients. In the past decade, some have come to operate more like traditional pharmaceutical manufacturers, but without the same oversight.
Hamburg said the current legal framework "does not provide FDA with the tools needed to identify and adequately regulate these pharmacies to prevent product contamination." She asked Congress to allow the FDA to require compounding pharmacies to register with the agency "so we know who they are and what they do."
Hamburg also would like to ensure a consistent set of safety regulations that would require compounding pharmacies to report any problems associated with their drugs.
"We are hopeful that the Senate will come out with a legislative proposal soon," said Steven Immergut, an FDA spokesman.
Drawing on roughly 30,000 pages of documents turned over by the FDA, committee members honed in on the agency's decision, in 2011, to stop initiating inspections of compounding pharmacies until it had finalized new guidance designed to clarify how it would regulate the industry in the face of a complex set of legal decisions dating back years.
The FDA has not made the documents public, saying they are part of the criminal investigation into NECC and Ameridose.
But separate reports prepared by Republican and Democratic staff portray an agency that has struggled for nearly a decade to enhance its authority over compounding pharmacies while simultaneously failing to fully exercise the authority it has.
According to the documents and comments from committee members at the hearing, the FDA received a steady series of complaints about NECC even after the agency issued a warning letter to the firm in 2006.
Documents cited by committee members indicate the FDA considered additional inspections and possible enforcement actions but felt it could not take them because it had not responded, two years later, to NECC's reply to the warning letter.
In addition, according to the Republican report, some compliance officers began to fear that the agency's lack of response to NECC might hinder further regulatory action against it. The indecision apparently frustrated agency compliance officers.
"Documents to the Committee reveal that FDA staff was frustrated with the time it was taking the FDA Chief Counsel's Office to approve a response to NECC," the report said.
A similar pattern of delays and uncertainty appears to have plagued the FDA's investigation of Ameridose, which it inspected in 2007 and 2008, finding numerous causes for concern. According to the documents cited in the Republican report. The FDA spent months drafting a warning letter to Ameridose before finally deciding not to issue it, citing conflicting court rulings related to pharmacy compounding.
Documents viewed by committee staff indicate that ultimately the FDA in 2011 decided not to pursue inspections while it finalized new guidance, though Hamburg told the Committee the agency did conduct investigations if an issue was brought to its attention.
Her answer raised questions among some committee members.
Colorado Democrat Diana DeGette asked Hamburg why the agency could not continue to conduct investigations and at the same time as finalizing its guidance.
John Taylor III, who counsels the FDA commissioner and was present at the hearing, said the agency was fearful that if it tried to inspect pharmacies before it had finalized its guidance it would be sued by compounding pharmacists and lose, potentially undermining the agency's authority further.
The report prepared by Democrats point to an intense lobbying effort by the compounding industry to prevent the FDA from increasing its oversight. And committee members stressed the complicated legal framework under which the FDA is attempting to regulate compounders.
"FDA struggled to pick up the pieces of a statute in tatters, said California Democrat Henry Waxman. "It is Congress's job to fix the law when it is inadequate or the courts invalidate it. Which is why we must do more than blame the FDA but give it the clear authority it needs."

I like the Magpul CTR and the Vltor E-mod for collapsible stocks. The firm lock up of the CTR combined with it's light weight is nice. The E-mod on a heavier biuild is nice and the cheekweld is good.
For fixed stocks I still haven't found one much better than the standard government ones. I personally like the A1 because it is slightly shorter and seems to fit me better for how I like to shoot.
I second the Brazilian Buttstock.....
Another vote for the Magpul CTR, light and fits tight. I have three.
I'll have to check out the Brazilians though! Sounds like something I could use!
The biggest issue with assembling an AR isn't so much getting the parts together right - it's getting the right parts together.

Quentin. you might check with your local Secret Service office. They are experts in the subject of South American buttstocks.
For the ultimate in lightweight, I'm with Q, CTR rules the nest.
For a better checkweld I'm liking the STR. Is a few oz more, but if can help balance a 16" barrel. The last 3 builds I've used them and I'm really liking them.
I had a Vltor Imod and it was good, but the STR doesn't pull my whiskers out if I forget to shave in the mornings (like I do 90% of the time)
I really like the UBR but its really really heavy, so I don't think I'll be using one anytime soon. Course if I have a 12.5 sbr with a nice can on it, a UBR might be the ticket.
Sopmods are great but I can't justify the expensive when there are soo many other comparable less and less expensive options out there.

Earth Day, 45th EditionWritten by Bob Adelmann
From its beginning, Earth Day was another tool to indoctrinate citizens in the need for governments to come to the aid of the environment.
A study from Belgium shows that many patients diagnosed with irreversible coma may actually have brain activity and may improve over time.
The self-styled "civil rights" organization Southern Poverty Law Center, which despite mounting controversy maintains some links to government agencies, released a bizarre and factually challenged screed attacking critics and opponents of the deeply controversial United Nations plot known as Agenda 21. Apparently unfamiliar with the definition of basic words such as "conspiracy" and "theory," or with the UN plan itself, the SPLC also lashed out at "activist groups," "mainstream politicians," voters, "extremists," and others who question or oppose the UN agenda for what it calls "sustainable development" in the United States.
The Nevada ranching family of Cliven Bundy is battling a well-funded, powerfully connected cabal of government officials and their corporate cronies and foundation-funded radical environmentalists.
Faced with the implosion of discredited United Nations theories on "Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming," climate alarmists in the United Kingdom, including some in Parliament, are now pushing for a major crackdown on skeptics — or "realists," depending on one's point of view — in government, media, and more. As more and more scientists defect from the crumbling alarmist bandwagon, however, critics say the hysterical shrieking and dangerous rhetoric from politicians only serves to further illustrate the accelerating collapse of what many climate experts refer to as the "global-warming hoax."

Recommended to Laurie by: Deborah C.
While flawed, this is an interesting teen novel that I highly recommend to YA librarians for its look at library services to teens in 1960. (Actually anyone involved with a library will find it interesting; in how many teen novels does the plot revolve around a bond election to fund a new public library?) I would like someone who lives in Southern California to read this and tell me which towns they think she's referring to (all the towns actually included in the story have fictional names).

Things that will get me to give a book another star. If they are about librarians. Libby is kind of a spoiled brat who comes to live with her Aunt Emily who is a librarian. Aunt Emily has Modern Ideas and wants to build a new library. There are a lot of details about librarians in there and especially ones with Modern Ideas. Libby becomes more of a sympathetic character as the book progresses but you can see why no-one liked her to begin with.
Mar 19, 2011 Wendy rated it 3 of 5 stars
Enjoyable enough, but I kept thinking "ENOUGH with the library stuff"--which isn't my usual reaction to vintage teen romances; usually I like those school- and career- and hobby-related subplots at least as much as the main plots. Am already sensing the running motifs in Nielsen's work: librarians, bratty teenage girls, middle-aged romance, terrifyingly youthful marriages, peritonitis secondary to appendicitis.
Dec 28, 2011 Melissa rated it 3 of 5 stars
Shelves: read-in-2011
Thanks, Wendy! All the library stuff was surprising ...do you think teens in 1960 would have really been interested? Makes me glad there are so many choices of reading material for teens now. It would have been tough to read this kind of "romance" all the time. Which Maudler wants this book next?

The Price Of These Words
They say to write more, that this is my talent, But they don't know of these well-constructed lies, Or how I sit at night, alone, cold and silent. She can't understand the price, no matter how she tries.
Running Scared
I'm burning all my bridges and I'm running out of time If I'd had just one more minute I could have somehow made you mine, But as it is, im broken and im falling to the ground, Im weightless, empty, and nothing I say makes a sound.
A Million of One Boy
I'll love you because I know you'll never love me too, But then my charm works against me and I lose my chance to be blue As you hold me tight and kiss me oh so sweetly And my inner masochist rebels and disposes of you oh so neatly.

The Price Of Popularity
No, no, no my dear you don't understand He wants me bad and he offers his hand He wants to look after me and take away my pain But im a cynic and I see what he will gain.
