Ndjock Tabbed Patriot League Offensive Player Of The Week
Nov. 4, 2013
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Loyola University Maryland men's soccer sophomore Larry Ndjock has been named the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this season, as announced by the league office Monday.
Ndjock, also the league's offensive player of the week on September 9, had a hand in all four of the Greyhounds' goals in a 1-1 week. The forward scored twice, including the game-winner, and had an assist in Loyola's 3-1 win over American on Wednesday, leading the Greyhounds to their first-ever Patriot League victory. His assist on junior Connor Thompson's goal in the 72nd minute marked his 50th career point.
The Berlin, Germany, native followed that up on Saturday by scoring in a 2-1 loss at Navy. His goal in the 87th minute marked just the fourth goal that the Patriot League regular season champions have given up this year. It was also just the fourth score that Gavin Snyder, ranked second nationally in goals-against average, has allowed in the 11 games that he has played this season.
So far this year, Ndjock leads the Patriot League with 11 goals and 23 points. He also ranks second in the NCAA with 0.85 goals per game and sixth with 1.77 points per game.
In addition, with 24 goals in his first two seasons, Ndjock has moved into 14th on Loyola's NCAA Division I records for career goals. He also ranks 21st in all-time program history and is just the fourth Greyhound under head coach Mark Mettrick to make his way onto the chart.
Loyola will conclude its season on Saturday when it hosts Lafayette in Senior Day. Loyola's senior class of Stephen Dooley, Zach Kane, Jamie Libby, Diego McQuestion and Thurman Van Riper will be honored in a pregame ceremony. Game time is slated for 7 p.m.

Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection: Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA): Travel Promotion Fee and Fee for Use of the System
GAO-10-1010R: Aug 20, 2010
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8156
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO reviewed the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (Customs) new rule on the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). GAO found that (1) nonimmigrant aliens who wish to enter the United States under the Visa Waiver Program at air or sea ports of entry must obtain a travel authorization electronically through ESTA from Customs. The interim final rule requires ESTA applicants to pay a congressionally mandated fee of $14.00. The fee is the sum of two amounts: a $10.00 travel promotion fee set by statute and a $4.00 operational fee for the use of ESTA as set by the Secretary of Homeland Security to ensure recovery of the full costs of providing and administering the ESTA system; and (2) the Department of Homeland Security complied with applicable requirements in promulgating the rule.

A device for tailoring the chromatic dispersion of a multi-channel light signal is proposed. The device includes at least two waveguides coupled in a cascade, each provided with a spatially distributed optical filter. The group delay response of the filters is designed so that the group delay of each channel of the light signal can be tuned independently of the others, and an appropriate tuning mechanism is provided for this purpose. The device may advantageously be used as a flexible dispersion compensator.

The present invention relates to the field of optical components and more particularly concerns a flexible and tunable multi-channel device for independently assigning specific dispersion values to each optical channel of a light signal.
When transmitting a modulated optical signal in an optical fiber link, the wavelength dependence of the effective index of the fiber fundamental mode induces differences in the propagation delays experienced by the various spectral components. For a narrowband signal at a given wavelength, the propagation delay is called group delay (GD) and is typically expressed in ps. The GD is calculated with equation (1) where λ is the wavelength, φ is the optical phase and c is the speed of light.
For example, the optical phase in (1) can be modified by an optical filter or by propagation through an optical fiber. The spectral variation of the GD is called chromatic dispersion (CD). The CD is the slope of the GD curve with respect to wavelength and is expressed in ps/nm.
In the presence of CD, an optical signal is distorted and inter-symbol interference can appear at the output of a long fiber link. This problem is usually addressed by the use of CD compensators which introduce a CD with an opposite value (negative vs positive) to that induced by a given optical fiber length. A standard G.652 optical fiber has a CD value around 17 ps/nm-km. Optical networks with Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) transmit several optical channels spaced by 50 GHz, 100 GHz or 200 GHz over a predetermined optical band. For example, the C-band covers the wavelength range between 1530 nm and 1570 nm. One difficulty in CD compensation is that the CD is not constant between 1530 nm and 1570 nm and, furthermore, this variation depends on the fiber type. This wavelength dependence is called the CD slope (CDS) and is expressed in ps/nm2. Wideband multi-wavelength CD compensators have to take this difference into account because CDS has a critical impact on the performance of high bit rate data link.
In optical networks, the CD can vary as a result of reconfigurations of the network or variations in the environment, for example temperature. Tunable CD compensators are therefore needed to dynamically adjust the CD compensation level over a given range. Furthermore, to have more adaptability, tunable CD compensators must be able to compensate the CDS. Desired properties of a tunable CD compensator therefore include flexibility on the setting of the mean CD value across the whole spectral band, called nominal value, and on the setting of the CDS. Ideally, tunable CD compensators should provide independent CD setting for each optical channel. This feature is particularly important when the channels present in the covered spectral band are propagated through different link lengths.
Fiber Bragg Grating Dispersion Compensator
Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) consists of a refractive index modulation along the fiber axis, denoted z. The resulting effective index modulation is expressed by (2).
Chirped FBGs (CFBGs) are FBGs in which ΛG varies along the fiber propagation axis. According to (3), the wavelength of the reflected signal, λB, will also vary along the optical fiber axis. This longitudinal λB variation introduces a propagation delay between the different spectral components of an incoming signal. The delay is related to the position along the fiber axis at which the reflection is maximized for the respective wavelengths. A single channel CD compensator may thus be realized by using a small linear variation of ΛG(z) as is schematically represented in
Single channel tunable CD compensators can be obtained by inducing a longitudinal variation of neff or ΛG which changes the reflection position of each wavelength along the CFBG. Different implementations of this technique are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,671,307 (Lauzon et al.) using a temperature gradient, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,964,501 (Alavie) and U.S. Pat. No. 6,360,042 (Long) with a strain gradient or with magnetostriction in U.S. Pat. No. 6,122,421 (Adams et al.).
Multi-wavelength FBG CD compensators can be obtained by superimposing many CFBGs with spectral responses centered at different wavelengths spaced by 50 GHz, 100 GHz or 200 GHz (Y. Painchaud, H. Chotard, A. Mailloux, Y. Vasseur, "Superposition of chirped fibre Bragg grating for third-order dispersion compensation over 32 WDM channels", Electronics Letters vol. 38, no. 24, pp. 1572-1573 (2002)), or by using FBGs sampled in amplitude and phase (H. Li, Y. Sheng, Y. Li, and J. E. Rothenberg, "Phased-Only Sampled Fiber Bragg Gratings for High-Channel-Count Chromatic Dispersion Compensation", J. Lightwave Technol vol. 21, pp. 2074-2083 September 2003). In these devices, compensation of CDS is possible with proper control of the FBG characteristics. This is schematically demonstrated in
CD Compensators with Distributed Resonant Cavities: Principle of Operation
Resonant Cavity Basis
Two parallel and highly reflective mirrors form a resonant optical cavity in which constructive interference occurs for specific cavity modes. The frequency spacing between each cavity mode is called the Free Spectral Range (FSR) and is obtained with (4), where c is speed of light in vacuum, d the distance between the mirrors and ng is the group index of the medium between the mirrors, ng=neff−λ(dneff/dλ).
The spectral position of each cavity mode is evaluated with (5), where λm, the mth cavity mode, is directly related to the average of the effective refractive index of the medium.
Resonant cavities need at least two mirrors which are spatially separated. An all-fiber wideband resonant cavity can be formed by two CFBGs, with the same reflection band, that are partially superimposed with a small longitudinal shift (d) along the fiber axis. In S. Doucet, R. Slavik, Sophie LaRochelle. "High-finesse large Band Fabry-Perot fibre filter with superimposed chirped Bragg Gratings", Elec. Lett., Vol. 38, no 9, April 2002, pp. 160-160, a Fabry-Perot interferometer with two mirrors of similar reflectivity, was realized with superimposed CFBGs. Another type of interferometer is formed with one strong back mirror and other weaker mirror on the input side. This interferometer is an asymmetric Fabry-Perot, which is called a Gires-Tournois etalon (GTE). GTEs are used in reflection to modify the phase and to induce dispersion on an incident optical signal. Indeed, due to their strong back reflectors, GTEs are constant amplitude filters called all-pass filters. However, at the wavelengths corresponding to the cavity modes, the filter will introduce an important GD on the reflected signal. This GD is created by the resonance of the optical field inside the structure which results in a periodic GD response in the spectral band of the mirrors. By carefully designing the reflectivity and position of the weaker mirror, GTEs allow the shaping of the GD variations close to the λm. Similarly to Fabry-Perots, GTEs are realized by superimposed CFBGs. Due to the distributed nature of the CFBGs, this type of GTE is called a distributed Gires-Tournois etalon (DGTE).
Principle of CD Compensator Based on GTE Cascade
The periodic GD response of DGTEs as explained above may advantageously be used to build devices for CD compensation. In the simplest example of such a device, a single DGTE can act as a simple CD compensator when the channel bandwidth is much smaller than the FSR of the DGTE element. However, this solution is not viable for high bit rate data transmission such as 10 Gbit/s, 40 Gbit/s or higher.
Another possibility is to use two GTE or DGTE components in a cascade configuration, with the two components (a) and (b) having opposite chromatic dispersion slope over the channel bandwidth.
Actual Chromatic Dispersion Compensators Based on the GTE and DGTE Cascade Principle
CD dispersion compensation was demonstrated with GTE filters, fabricated with thin film technology, and DGTE filters implemented with CFBGs. The latter case is for example shown in X. Shu, K. Sugden, P. Rhead, J. Mitchell, I. Felmeri, G. Lloyd, K. Byron, Z. Huang, Igor Khrushchev and I. Bennion, "Tunable Dispersion Compensator Based on Distributed Gires-Tournois Etalons," IEEE Photon. Technol. Lett. vol. 15, pp. 1111-1113, August 2003. Published patent application US2003/0210864 (Sugden at al.) also teaches of various DGTE-based devices for CD compensation. However, the proposed DGTE are limited in dispersion range and channel bandwidth.
In X. Shu, Karen Chisholm, and Kate Sugden, "Design and Realization of Dispersion Slope Compensator Using Distributed Gires-Tournois Etalons," IEEE Photon. Technol. Lett. vol. 16, pp. 1092-1094, April 2004, it is clearly demonstrated that CDS compensation is possible when the DGTEs have different values of FSR. However, the CDS is determined by the design and cannot be tuned, although tuning of the nominal CD, which affects the CD of all channels in similar way, remains possible.
In X. Shu, J. Mitchell, A. Gillooly, K. Chisholm, K. Sugden and I. Bennion, "Tunable dispersion Slope compensator using novel tailored Gires-Tournois etalons," in Optical Fiber Communication on CD-ROM (The Optical Society of America, Washington, D.C., 2004), WK5, the CDS tunability is obtained by using DGTE with CFBGs with tailored reflectivity profiles along the fibers axis. This solution does not offer independent tunability of the CDS and of the nominal CD. Furthermore, some channels have a limited dispersion range, as can be observed in
In D. J. Moss, M. Lamont, S. McLaugthlin, G. Randall, P. Colbourne, S. Kiran and C. A. Hulse, "Tunable Dispersion and Dispersion Slope Compensators for 10 Gb/s Using All-Pass Multicavity Etalons," IEEE Photon. Technol. Lett. vol. 15, pp. 730-732, May 2003, thin film multi-cavity GTEs allow compensation over a larger CD range. CDS compensation using two GTEs with different FSR has also been demonstrated with this technology. Thin film GTEs have the same limitations as the previously described DGTE design and cannot allow complete inter-channel tunable CD compensator.
Despite all of the technological advancements described above, there is still a need for a versatile device which would allow for the channel per-channel compensation of CD and CDS.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a device for tailoring the chromatic dispersion of a light signal having a plurality of periodically distributed wavelength channels.
The device includes a plurality of waveguide segments coupled together in a cascade. The waveguides segments are respectively provided with spatially distributed optical filters, which reflect the wavelength channels at different regions along the corresponding waveguide segment. Each optical filter has a spectrally periodic group delay response. The chromatic dispersion of each wavelength channel is determined by the combined group delay response of the optical filters along the regions of the waveguide segments reflecting the wavelength channel of the light signal.
The device further includes a spatially distributed tuning mechanism for independently tuning the group delay response of at least one of the optical filters in each of the regions of the corresponding waveguide segments reflecting the wavelength channels of the light signal.
The present invention provides a device incorporating a tuning technique combined with distributed filter structures which may advantageously be used as a flexible CD compensator. The tunability is preferably based on the distributed aspect of the filters and is obtained with the application of a perturbation of varying strength along the waveguide axis, for example temperature or strain profiles.
The present invention may therefore provide independent CD tuning of adjacent communication channels in a given spectral region. It can therefore adjust the CDS in a monotonous or discrete fashion while providing significant CD compensation over a large dispersion range (for example, �500 ps/nm or �1000 ps/nm).
Other features and advantages of the present invention will be better understood upon reading of preferred embodiments thereof with reference to the appended drawings.
The present invention provides a device for tailoring the chromatic dispersion of a multi-channel light signal. By "tailoring", it is meant that the present device independently assigns specific dispersion values to each optical channel covered by its spectral response. Although, in the description below, the present invention is mainly applied to the compensation of CD in wavelength-division-multiplexed optical communication systems, it will be understood that the device of the present invention may be used in any context requiring precise control of the spectral band location and shape in multi-wavelength distributed optical devices. One such example is the precise spectral positioning of the transmission peaks of the distributed Fabry Perot proposed in S. Doucet, R. Slavik, Sophie LaRochelle "High-finesse large Band Fabry-Perot fibre filter with superimposed chirped Bragg Gratings", Elec. Lett., Vol. 38, no 9, April 2002, pp. 160-160. Since these all-fiber Fabry Perot filters are the basis of the multi-wavelength laser disclosed in Canadian Patent application no. 2,441,916 (Doucet et al.), the present invention can be used to control the spectral position of the laser wavelengths of these structures. Another example concerns the use of the per-channel CD compensator for application as a CD based encoder/decoder in spectrum spread communications like frequency-encoded optical code division multiple access.
Referring to
It will be further noted that although the configuration shown in
The first and second waveguides 32 and 34 are respectively provided with first and second optical filters 46 and 48. The optical filter 46 and 48 are spatially distributed in such a manner that they reflect the wavelength channels of the light signal at different regions along the corresponding waveguide 32 and 34. Each optical filter 46 and 48 has a spectrally periodic group delay response. The distributed optical filters 46 and 48 could be DGTEs based on two or more partially superimposed CFBGs such as explained above, or FBG superstructures which have complex amplitude apodisation and/or complex period profiles, and are spectrally designed to produce the desired group delay response. The resulting chromatic dispersion of each channel is determined by the combined group delay response of the two optical filters 46 and 48 along the regions of the waveguides 32 and 34 reflecting this channel. By using filters with spectrally periodic group delay responses, the chromatic dispersion of a given channel is thus set by the spectral displacement between the group delay periods of the optical filters relative to the channel spectral position.
In the illustrated embodiments and explanations below, the operating principle of a device according to a preferred embodiment of the invention is discussed using as an example two DGTEs. However, the filter elements could be any FBG superstructures, i.e. FBG with complex amplitude and/or complex period profiles along the waveguide axis, provided that the element provides partially separated "resonating cavities" for the different channels. The reference to "resonant cavities" facilitates the conceptualization of the device, but it will be understood that the optical filters need not be fabricated with this analogy in mind; what matters is the desired group delay response and spatial distribution. It will be noted that in order to obtain the requisite optical characteristics of the filters used in the present invention, the obtained structures will most likely be longer than prior art devices as explained above, so that the "resonated" cavities that generate the GD peaks are spatially separate.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the FBG filters are photo-induced in an optical fiber through UV exposure. It will be however understood that the filters according to the present invention could result from various fabrication techniques such as writing by photo-exposure or lithographic and etching processes.
The device 30 according to the present invention further includes a spatially distributed tuning mechanism for independently tuning the group delay response of the first, the second or both optical filters 46 and 48 in each region of the corresponding waveguide 32 or 34 corresponding to a given wavelength channel. The tuning mechanism is embodied by any system applying a perturbation of varying strength along the optical propagation axis of the corresponding waveguide which affects its local properties, such as the optical length and grating period. The perturbation may be monotonous or discontinuous, depending on the desired resulting CD profile. In the illustrated embodiment, the tuning mechanism is embodied by the generation of a thermal profile along the fiber axis. It is however understood that other than thermal, the perturbation could also result from the application of a strain profile, or from the application of electric or magnetic field profiles if the waveguide or its substrate present the appropriate response (electro-optic, magneto-optic, electrostrictive or magnetostrictive) or even current injection profiles in the case of semiconductor devices.
The present invention is therefore based on the combination of the tuning mechanism, providing a perturbation along the propagation axis of a waveguide, and of a distributed filters written in one of the optical waveguide. The filters provides "resonant cavities" which induce dispersion at the channel wavelengths. The cavities of the tuned filter are distributed along the optical waveguide axis such that they are either partially overlapping or totally separated. The other filter may be fixed or tunable, or be embodied by one or more fixed or tunable elements producing the desired group delay response.
Still referring to
The applied perturbation modifies the properties of the first waveguide 32 including the optical lengths of the cavities and the local grating period. These changes are induced through thermo-optic and dilatation effects. Since the first optical filter 46 is distributed, each peak of the spectrally periodic GD is related to a specific position along the optical axis of the waveguide filter. The profiled perturbation therefore affects differently each period of the GD curve. The GD peaks of the tuned first filter 46 are shifted by different amount relatively to the spectral response of the second filter 48. The channels' dispersion setting, induced by the spectral shift, is thus a function of the profiled perturbation.
With long distributed optical structure, it is possible to control independently the spectral position of each GD peak without affecting the neighboring peaks. However, when the FSR of the device is equal to the inter-channel spacing (ICS), independent positioning of the GD peaks is not sufficient to ensure independent CD tuning of neighboring channels. Indeed, each GD peak affects the dispersion of the two adjacent channels located on its shorter and longer wavelength sides.
Preliminary Design Considerations
The tunability of the device according to the present invention is based on the distributed property of the optical filters. For optical filters based on coupled-cavity DGTEs, spatial independence of the resonant cavity modes depends on the cavity length, related to the desired FSR, the number of cavities and the underlying grating chirp. A simple design approach for the DGTEs consists of considering point mirror equivalence for each CFBG. Although this approach neglects the penetration depth of the light in the CFBG, it can be used to estimate the maximum CFBG chirp, Cmax, to be used for a given number of cavities. We find
For a given CFBG length, L, and FSRλ, the maximum number of channels, Nch, is related to the CFBG chirp in (7).
Compensation of high CD values and tuning over a large CD range require a higher number of coupled cavities, which consequently limits the grating chirp through (6) and, as a result, the number of channels covered by the CD compensator for a given length through (7).
It should be noted that although this schematic representation of DGTE is useful as an initial design step, the final design is accurately determined by CFBG simulations using transfer matrix method based on coupled modes theory (see T. Erdogan, "Fiber Grating Spectra," IEEE J. Lightwave Technol. vol. 15, pp. 1277-1294, August 1997, where the superstructure grating is calculated by superimposition of refractive index modulations of the CFBGs.
Per-Channel CD Compensator (CD Equalizer)
As explained above, the selection of a channel's CD is realized by shifting the spectral response of two filters placed in a cascade, i.e. by shifting the position of the GD peaks of the first filter with respect to those of the second filter. As also explained, truly independent per-channel CD compensation can be achieved by using distributed filter devices with FSR that are half the channel spacing. In the following example, we perform simulations using the DGTE specifications presented in Table 1.
Wideband CD Compensator
When the spectral band covered by a device of a given length is increased while maintaining the CD tuning range, the cavities of the neighboring modes begin to overlap spatially. Consequently, inter-channels CD difference is limited for these wideband devices. However, this not a limitation when a smooth CD profile is needed over the spectral band covered by the filter. Moreover, the small inter-channel CD difference allows the use of filter elements with FSR corresponding to the channel spacing because two channels can share one GD peak of the optical filter (a) without constraint. The following results are based on the CD compensator architecture proposed in
Experimental Results
Experimental results have been obtained by the inventors and are demonstrated in S. Doucet, R. Slavik, S. LaRochelle, "Tunable dispersion slope compensator using novel Gires-Tournois Bragg grating coupled cavities," IEEE Photon. Technol. Lett. vol. 16, no. 11., pp. 2529-2531 November 2004 for a temperature gradient profile applied on one element of a DGTE cascade as proposed in

In this example of the present invention the optical filters 46 and 48 are Periodic Complex Fiber Bragg Gratings (PCFBG), corresponding to the designs presented in

"Purchased a 2004 front wheel drive V6 (3.3L) Highlander in Jan 2004. Put about 70K on it and to date I've had no problems whatsoever. Maintenance is reasonable. The large tires did cost around $600+ to replace. Otherwise, maintenance costs are pretty much standard. One thing to note is that if the front tires start to wear, you'll hear a screeching sound when you corner hard, so make sure to rotate the tires regularly and keep good tread on the front tires (I noticed this same behavior on my Toyota Camry Solara). Gas mileage for my vehicle is roughly 24.8 mpg overall with about 75% highway driving. On all-highway trips I got as good as 560 miles out of a single tank (driving between 60-65mph non-stop). Despite not being an all-wheel drive model, it handled extremely well in snow and I found that it pulled itself out of high snow. It is a very quiet ride but sort of boring. It has great pick-up in acceleration but lacks real passing power once over 65mph (which is pretty much normal). I'd recommend this vehicle to any small family who would probably otherwise waste money on a larger SUV. This one is well-built, gets excellent gas mileage for its size, and fits any family-oriented individual."

"I bought a 2007 Highlander to replace my 2003 because this is the last year of that model and I wanted the economical 4 cylinder engine which will not be available on the 2008. The 2003 was reliable, comfortable and problem free for my four years of ownership. The 2007 Highlander is a greater value because of the additional safety features such as side curtain air bags, VSC and traction control and better designed with more storage area under the rear deck because the full sized spare tire was relocated to exterior storage under the rear deck. The suspension of the 2007 appears tighter than the 2003 resulting in an uncomfortable ride where each ripple in the road was felt because the OEM Bridgestone tires rode hard. These tires, manufactured in Japan for Toyota had a 7/32" tread depth and only a 6" tread width. The poor ride was corrected by replacing the OEM Japanese Bridgestone tires with Michelin Cross Terrains which have a tread depth of 10/32" and a 7" wide tread. The 2007 Highlander is a great mid-sized SUV that has been improved in design and safety features over the years and gives a refined, comfortable and secure ride if equipped with Yokohama or Cross Terrain tires."

sorry for not conveying immedietely the news about the case we filed at Madurai for the benefit of members who have retired putting less than 33 years of service.
We had discussions at our Executive committee meeting in chennai and finallised the plan for future course of action in our case after the Review petition was dismissed by The Apex court.
First and fore most we have met the CMD's of the Four compnies and have given them the letter requesting them to honour the decision of the Supreme Court by paying the 5 years notional credit to all those eligible pensioners with arrears. Four teams met the CMDs at their Head Office and gave them the letter from our Association.
In the next step we have filed a petition at Madurai branch of High Court of Madras pettiions for honouring the Supreme court order asking the management to come with their reply. on 23rd of this month. The court gave notice to the Companies to be present on 27th at the Court for giving order on the petitions files by our members.
On 27th the court gave orders to the management to come with a reply, on the payment of 5 years notional credit, giving 4 months time.
We are waiting for the order copy and once it reached we will despatch the same to the management from our side through our Advocate.
We may have to wait up to 4 months,for further action in this matter.
We are also consulting the expert counsels for proceeding further in the dismissed Review petition.

Al Jazeera's Robin Forestier-Walker reports from the Kyrgyz-Uzbek border
"We have agreed with the Uzbek government to support their efforts and assist tens of thousands, mostly women and children seeking safety in Uzbekistan," it said in a statement.
Ethnic Uzbeks and Tajiks have flocked to the border since the bloodshed, pitting ethnic Uzbeks and Kyrgyz against each other, started on Thursday night.
Fires were raging in the cities of Osh and Jalal'abad on Monday, and some sources said the official figures of 124 people dead and nearly 1,500 injured appeared way too low.
Bodies buried
An Uzbek community leader claimed at least 200 Uzbeks alone had already been buried, and the Red Cross said its delegates saw about 100 bodies being buried in just one cemetery.
Charred corpses lay unattended in a burned out ethnic Uzbek shop in Osh and the streets were strewn with shell cases and wrecked cars.
Temir Sariyev, the deputy chief of Kyrgyzstan's interim government, said: "There are local clashes and it is not yet possible fully to contain the situation."
"Armed groups are breaking through here and there and this is linked to the fact that our forces are insufficient" to control events.
Kyrgyz news agency AKIPress said 2,000 people had gathered in the main square in Jalal'abad. It also said 150 to 200 youths were marching around threatening to shoot Uzbeks. Some accused Kyrgyz government forces of taking part in the mob violence.
Dildor Dzhumabayev, an ethnic Uzbek, said people were gunned down by armed personnel carriers that were used to clear the way for mobs on the streets.
Al Jazeera's Robin Forestier-Walker, reporting from Osh, said witnesses were talking about organised groups being behind the killings.
Different ethnic groups were blaming each other for the bloodshed, he said.
"I get a sense of a city divided, of different communities pitted against each other.
"The Uzbek side always says the military has been involved. And the military is claiming that organised mercenaries took control of some of their vehicles and those are the people who may be causing those disturbances."
There have also been claims that Kurmanbek Bakiyev, the former Kyrgyz president who was ousted in April, has been orchestrating a campaign of ethnic conflict along with his supporters.
Bakiyev, who is in exile in Belarus, has denied any involvement in the violence.Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general, has expressed alarm at the scale of the fighting.
Kyrgyzstan is currently led by a coalition of rival politicians that coalesced earlier this year in opposition to Bakiyev, who was deposed after anti-government protests resulted in deadly clashes.

Clowe officially signs with San Francisco Bulls
Nov 6, 2012, 9:00 PM EDT
The ranks of NHL players temporarily playing in the ECHL grew by one today, as the San Francisco Bulls announced that Ryane Clowe signed with the team.
The Mercury News' David Pollak noted that Clowe initially just practiced with the team, which is an affiliate of the San Jose Sharks.
(They're also conveniently located approximately 50 miles apart, if Google Maps is correct.)
Back on Oct. 30, Clowe gave Pollak an odd quote about his earlier plans with the Bulls:
"To be honest, I had no intention of playing, but I'm not ruling it out," Clowe said.
The Bulls' press release indicates that his next practice – this one as an official member of the team – will take place on Thursday.
We'll see if he ends up actually playing in the same (other) league as guys like Brandon Dubinsky, Theo Peckham and Devin Setoguchi.

Amazon Editorial Review
Jeramiah Poe isn't just any character in the Realm of Fiction; he is Muse Master—Destiny Diviner—Mysterious Miskriat. Being of neither the Traditional Genre Provinces nor Independent, Poe enjoys an eternal lease on life, so long as his Scribbler keeps
him out of publication.
Poe meets Kane, a seven-year-old boy from the Independent Horror Province, where he learns ancient codes are being broken and the horror that should be an act, is real.
But the evil clutching Octava is not new and Seven Arks have been sent to Earth to stop it.
Only something has gone wrong and Poe is commissioned as the 8th Ark of Octava to discover what has become of the Seven.
But his passage to Earth comes with revelations he's not prepared for. Not only does his Scribbler not know of his existence, he's a she that his human form seems allergic to.
Poe soon realizes that with each Ark he locates, his powers grow along with his feelings for the Scribbler. And the enemy will try and use both to gain control of the two realms.

Remembering Auschwitz, 70 years on
On January 27, 1945, the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz in Poland was liberated by Soviet forces. Seventy years later, Holocaust survivors and heads of state from across Europe gather to commemorate the lives of the camp's 1.1 million victims, the vast majority of whom were Jews. See FRANCE 24's special coverage of the event.
Tour de France 2014
For its 101st edition, the Tour de France gets underway in Yorkshire for three stages in the UK. It will then head across the Channel for a route that gives pride and place to the north and east of France, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I. Follow all the latest from Le Tour on FRANCE 24.
World Cup 2014
Starting June 12 and wrapping up in the legendary Maracana Stadium a month later, the 2014 FIFA World Cup, hosted by Brazil, is set to rivet football fans around the world. With 32 countries participating and 64 games scheduled, FRANCE 24 brings you coverage of the competition from "the land of football".
FRANCE 24 joins commemorations marking D-Day with a full week of coverage leading up to the ceremonies on June 6. Seventy years after the Allied landings, war heroes and others retell the moments that turned the tide in WWII.
The 67th Cannes Film Festival unfolds in France May 14-25. Among those vying for the Palme d'Or are David Cronenberg, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, Mike Leigh and Jean-Luc Godard. Stars expected on the red carpet include Marion Cotillard, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Channing Tatum. FRANCE 24 film critic and editor Jon Frosch brings you the latest.

On April 7 1994, Rwanda was gripped by a murderous wave of violence, that left over 800,000 dead in just 100 days. FRANCE 24 looks back at the origins and circumstances that led to the last genocide of the 20th century.
East Africa: A new front for global jihad?
The deadly siege on the Westgate shopping centre in Kenya's capital Nairobi in September 2013 highlighted the growing presence of extremism in East Africa. Groups such as Somalia's al-Shabaab, a militant Islamist organisation that claimed the attack, have become more visible in recent years, raising fears the region may be a new jihadist front.
Greece cut to the bone
Greece was drowning in debt and looked to be on the brink of default when it received its first EU/IMF bailout in May 2010. The country has since introduced a series of tough austerity measures in a bid to save its economy, much to the discontent of millions of Greeks who have regularly taken to the streets in protest over the past few years.

21st century dating?
Everything starts with a simple Hi and maybe a smile :) I'm charming, sweet, caring, faithful, honest, sincere, hardworking, confident, fun, and a winner. People ask "why are you single" That's easy I just haven't found you yet :) Hopefully this site helps with that. I want to find a girl that I can't stop smiling with when I'm around her, that I get excited when she calls or texts me, and brings out my best. I'm looking for someone that wants a meaningful relationship. If you're looking for a fling please move on to someone else. I'm really not into that lifestyle. A little about me. I was an all-state wrestler and all-conference in football in H.S. Then I wrestled for all four years during college, where I was also pretty successful. But, more importantly I try to use the values, work ethic, and knowledge about myself that these sports gave me everyday to make a difference. I listen to all types of music, predominately pop and top 40, country, and enjoy a nice cold beer with the company of friends over a night out at a party. I really like going to concerts, so if you do also that's a plus!! I don't look at a guy out with a hot girl and wish I was him. I look past them and see the couple who have been married 40 years still smiling at each other ( with pure joy) and think how lucky he is. I'm in Grad school and straight A's so far! Don't call it a miracle yet. If I wink or send an email I did read your whole profile. Hopefully you did as well :) and I guess my only deal breaker I have.... not using your f'ing blinker... I mean how hard Is that. I'm looking for someone that has their life in order, that has goals, and ambition. That can be serious when need be. But, also knows how to have fun.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing cards , Playing sports , Religion/Spiritual , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting

Author has written 4 stories for Babylon 5, Avengers, Supernatural, Doctor Who, and Sherlock.
Hello. I'm Akpaley, I'm from California and I'm a high school student. This account is somewhat dead and neglected and the same is true of pretty much anything here that hasn't been updated in the past year.
The fandoms that I am a part of change relatively frequently.
I am findable on DA here for my normal art account:
Also here for my incredibly neglected fanart account:
Story update information:
Dead Man is an Avengers story in which Loki ends up back on earth, stays in Stark Tower, and learns to deal with himself and with Midgard.
A brief note to those who follow me for Dead Man. My Dead Man muse is kind of dead. I have a whole history behind the scenarios you are seeing, but my plot itself didn't work super well. I won't delete it, I won't kill it, but I am putting it on hiatus until I get back into that mode. (Hopefully Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 and the like will help with that.)
Other Misc. Short Stories are fun to write and don't require a lot of updating. Anything declared completed is completed.

Hi, I know that this may be a bit early since 2.0 beta is not even out yet... but I've been using the daily builds and can't stand the font size being so small. This plugin would be really handy
I'd also like to see a version of this plugin for Gaim 2.0. They took out a lot of minor options (Dim idle buddies, individually ignoring font face/color/size, idle time measured by Gaim or Windows, etc) that I'm sure plenty of people will miss.
Dirk Stevenson
Yes! Please bring this back for Gaim 2.0! I live and die by this plugin. It's so good!
Ido Daisuke
does anybod have compiled it against gaim 2 ? I've done it on linux but can't on windows
dan mcweeney
I have it complied against gaim 2.0 you just need to pass in the -DEP_VERSION=\"1.5.0\" in your Makefile.mingw. I actually just created a separate one for extendedprefs.c. Granted i can't seem to get anything else to work in 2.0 on my windows system, but hey, baby steps.
also, using don't use multiple colors in chat option.
Now that beta2 is out... any chance that this will be worked on?
Moritz Strübe
We'll have to wait for the final... :-(
Dec 20 2005 - Post from http://gaim-extprefs.sourceforge.net/
There have not been many changes made to Extended Preferences recently due to time constraints. I am not releasing a new package until Gaim 2.0.0 goes final. The code in CVS should build properly with Gaim 2.0.0, though certain features have been removed due to their lack of relevance. If anyone with a bit more time than I have would like to help make improvements to the Extended Prefs plugin, I'd appreciate the help. Feel free to contact me and make offers of contribution. :)
Does anyone have a build of this dll compiled against gaim 2.0 beta2 or later and want to post it? Didn't this plugin optionally get rid of the taskbar entry in wingaim (so it would run only in the status tray)?
Craig Harding
In a previous version this was a bug. I don't know if you'd like this as a feature request for Extended Prefs...
So I'm not very good with computers or programming... can I have a beginner's walkthrough of how to make this AMAZING plugin work with gaim2.0? Or if possible can anybody email it to me so that I can use it? I want to keep using gaim, but the lack of this plugin is testing my patience. Anything would be MUCH appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Craig Harding
As a start, are you using Windows or Linux?
I'm using Windows XP.
i too would like a compiled version for winxp, beta 3 if possible, dont feel like going throught he process of getting all the code. thanks
Harrison Chen
Well, I tried compiling the plugin but I can't figure out for the life of me. Could someone explain how? I figured out how to get it from CVS but I don't know how to compile.

If you got it from CVS, you usually have to run ./autogen.sh from the base directory of extended prefs.
This will create the configure files among others and it should automatically go into the configure command after doing this. Once it's done without errors you run the 'make' command and then as root, run the 'make install' command
If you have trouble, email me.
This is such a great plugin, and would solve the bothersome font size issue in 2.0beta3, if compatible. I cant use GAIM till it comes out since the font size issue is so ridiculous and makes it impossible to chat when you font is huge on your buddies IMs. Anyone find a way to use this in beta3, or are we all truly stuck till the final release?
So does anyone have this working for WinXP?

If someone can post the error output from gaim when it is trying to load the plugin in Windows. You can do this by executing gaim from the command window using the -d flag and then copy/pasting the output here or in a bug.
The debug message is pasted below. Again this is GAIM 2.0.0beta6
plugins: probing C:\Documents and Settings\Joshua\Application Data\.gaim\plugins\extprefs.dll
plugins: C:\Documents and Settings\Joshua\Application Data\.gaim\plugins\extprefs.dll is not loadable: The specified module could not be found.

Did you compile this dll in cygwin with gaim source installed? If not, this dll will only work with the version that it was compiled with, as far as I understand..
