This application claims priority to Provisional Patent Application No. 60/167,141, filed on Nov. 23, 1999.
The present invention is directed to an optical waveguide that provides both weak and strong photon confinement in a unitarily formed waveguide device.
Optical data transmission offers various advantages over other forms of data transmission, primarily with regard to bandwidth and size of the transmission medium (e.g., fiber-optic cables, waveguides, etc.). Additionally, recent developments have made more attractive the fabrication of integrated optical devices suitable for use in optical data transmission systems. Examples of such developments can be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,790,583; 5,825,799; 5,878,070; 5,926,496; and 6,009,115, the contents of each of which are incorporated by reference herein. Those references describe various optical devices such as lasers, resonators and wayeguides, which are well-suited for use in construct ing data and telecommunication optical networks.
Heretofore optical networks have routed or otherwise controlled the transmission of light (i.e., of an optical signal) by converting the light signal into an electrical signal, manipulating the converted electrical signal using electronic components, and then converting the electrical signal back into a light signal. Such conversion-intensive signal processing is, however, undesirable because it slows and complicates data flow.
It is therefore desirable, whenever a light signal is to be manipulated, to avoid converting light signals to electrical signals. Rather, it is preferable to instead use optical devices to manipulate the light signal directly, and thereby simplify and speed operation of the optical network. Eliminating many of the electronic components from optical networks also facilitates the integration of very small (i.e., nanometer scale) optical components in the optical networks. In some cases such optical components may comprise a plurality of integrated devices formed on a single substrate much in the same manner as the integrated electrical semiconductor devices which are today in widespread use.
The waveguides currently used in optical networking may vary in their size and construction because different waveguide configurations are preferred for different uses. A new generation of optical waveguide devices now employed in optical data systems uses nanostructure (i.e., nanometer scale) deeply etched waveguides to control light pulses. Such nanostructure deeply etched waveguides strongly confine the light transmitted therein, and offer benefits such as reduced overall linear insertion losses, and maximized optical power coupling efficiency into the nanostructure waveguides. Other optical components may include waveguides which weakly confine the light transmitted therethrough, such as, for example, shallow etched waveguides. By way of example, conventional shallow etched waveguides transmit light efficiently and so are suited for use whenever light is to be sent a substantial distance.
For various reasons dictated by the laws of optics, it is eventually preferable to transmit an optical signal through weakly-confining, rather than strongly-confining waveguides. Such weakly-confining waveguides are known, and may be generally characterized as two-dimensional strip waveguides. Weakly-confining waveguides typically have a core width of at least 2 μm. In contrast, strongly-confining waveguides may be deeply etched and have a width of not more than 1 μm. The deeply-etched structure of such waveguides minimizes leakage of optical power carried by the tail of the guided mode into the substrate.
Although nanostructure optical devices employ nanostructure deeply etched waveguides, the light pulses eventually will, because of signal transmission issues, pass into weakly-confining conventional shallow etched waveguides, which have lower propagation losses than strongly-confining waveguides. Such weakly-confining waveguides may take the form of shallow etched waveguides and are preferable for transmission of light pulses because they are single mode, and because they are relatively easy to fabricate. Arranging for the efficient passage of light between the two types of waveguides is, however, difficult. For example, light transmitted between weakly-confining and strongly-confining waveguides will be subject to losses, such as reflection loss, which occurs when light propagates from one waveguide to another.
Although light can be transferred from a conventional weakly-confining strip waveguide to a nanostructure deeply etched waveguide at a butt joint, such a connection is undesirable because it is subject to losses. The small cross-section of the nanostructure deeply etched waveguide makes its coupling efficiency to the conventional weakly-confining strip waveguide poor. This occurs because the required deep etch of the nanostructure strongly-confining waveguide makes such a structure multi-mode, while the weakly-confining waveguide is single-mode. This means that a significant part of the coupled optical power transmitted into these sections will be carried by the higher order modes and will be radiated when it arrives at the devices which are served by the nanostructure deeply etched waveguide. This effect increases the linear insertion loss of such devices.
The term "waveguide" will be understood by those skilled in the art to refer to optical components having a core of material surrounded by cladding, with both the core and cladding being transparent to light and having a respective index of refraction. The core may be a buried structure, in which case it is completely surrounded by cladding. Alternative, the core may be a ridge or strip structure, in which case it is partially surrounded by cladding, and partially surrounded by another medium such as, for example, air or a vacuum having respective index of refraction.
To "strongly-confine" generally refers to a difference in refractive indices (Δn) between the waveguide core, cladding, and surrounding medium (if provided) of at least a particular amount. To "weakly-confine" refers to a waveguide in which the difference in refractive indices between the waveguide core, cladding, and surrounding medium (if provided) is less than that particular amount.
A waveguide may be a photonic-wire waveguide, which provides a waveguide core surrounded in all directions transverse to photon propagation direction, such as, for example, both in a width and thickness direction, by a relatively low refractive index (compared with the core) medium such as air, silica, or other relatively low refractive index material, to provided strong photon confinement in all directions perpendicular to their propagation direction in and through .the waveguide core. A waveguide may also be a photonic-well waveguide, which provides a waveguide core surrounded on opposite sides in a direction transverse to photon propagation direction, such as, for example, in a width direction, by a relatively low refractive index medium or material, to provide strong photon confinement in a direction perpendicular to their propagation direction in and through the waveguide core.
Thus, there exists a need in the art for an optical component that overcomes the above-described shortcomings of the prior art. In particular, there is a need for devices which increase the coupling efficiency between weakly-confining and strongly-confining waveguides, and which reduce insertion losses at such junctions by decreasing the scattering loss from the side walls of the input and output sections which is due to a shallow etch.
The present invention is directed to a novel waveguide structure that provides, in a unitarily formed waveguide, weak photon confinement and strong photon confinement along a propagation direction defined by a core through the waveguide.
In an embodiment of the present invention, an optical waveguide through which an optical signal may propagate in a propagation direction and along an optical path comprises a first waveguide section providing weak confinement of the optical signal in a direction generally transverse to the propagation direction and a second waveguide section providing strong confinement of the optical signal in all directions relative to the propagation direction. A tapered neck is provided between the first and said second waveguide sections and a core is defined through the first and second waveguide sections and the tapered neck, and through which the optical signal may propagate in the propagation direction.
The present invention is also directed to a method of fabricating a waveguide having a weakly-confining waveguide section and a strongly-confining waveguide section optically coupled by a neck that simultaneously tapers in two directions.
The invention accordingly comprises the features of construction, combination of elements, and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the disclosure herein. The scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.
In the drawing figures, which are not to scale, and which are merely illustrative, and wherein like reference characters denote similar elements throughout the several views:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a waveguide constructed in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2A is a cross-sectional view taken along line 2A—2A of FIG. 1;
FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view taken along line 2B—2B of FIG. 1;
FIG. 2C is a cross-sectional view taken along line 2C—2C of FIG. 1;

FIGS. 3A and 3B are a side cross-sectional view and a perspective view of a variable thickness mask suitable for use in a method of fabricating a waveguide in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing one suitable blank of material, prior to processing, that can be used to obtain a waveguide in accordance with the present invention.
The terms "light signal" and "optical signal" are used interchangeably herein. The term "light" as used herein should be construed in the broadest possible sense, and is intended to include visible electromagnetic radiation, as well as infrared and ultraviolet radiation.
The present invention is especially suited for use with waveguides which are formed on integral planar optical substrates. In such waveguides the cladding may be formed as a single layer surrounding the core or, because of manufacturing concerns, may constitute an upper and lower cladding layer which together enclose the core. Owing to the core's greater refractive index, light propagates through and along the core, even though there may be curves in the waveguide.
It is often desirable to transmit light between weakly-confining and strongly confining waveguides, with the light generally propagating from the strongly-confining waveguide to the weakly-confining waveguide. This, however, entails substantial optical losses due to the joints required to optically couple the different waveguides. The present invention reduces such optical losses by providing a novel waveguide 1 having a first waveguide section 5 that provides weak photon confinement (i.e., weakly-confining) and a second waveguide section 7 that provides strong photon confinement (i.e., strongly-confining), coupled to each other by a neck 3 that simultaneously tapers in two directions (i.e., a bi-tapered neck), as depicted in FIG. 1. While FIG. 1 generally depicts a ridge or strip waveguide, other waveguide structures and configurations are contemplated by and within the scope and spirit of the present invention.
A smooth transition between the waveguide sections 5, 7 is provided by the tapered neck 3 that confines the light traveling through the waveguide 1 between these first and second waveguide sections 5, 7 in accordance with known principals of waveguide optics and greatly reduces the transition loss which would otherwise occur where light passes between waveguides having different dimensions.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2A-2C, a core 9 having an index of refraction, nc, is disposed through the waveguide 1, including through both waveguide sections 5, 7, and defines an optical path and propagation direction (generally along the Z-axis) for an optical signal transmitted through the waveguide 1. The core 9 may be disposed between a cladding layer 11 having an index of refraction, nc1, and substrate 13 having an index of refraction, ns, or between top and bottom cladding layers (not shown). The waveguide 1 has a width, w3. In the weakly-confining;waveguide section 5, a ridge 50 having a width w1 is provided in order to cover the core 9 disposed atop the substrate 13. In the strongly-confining waveguide section 7, a ridge 70 has a width w2 and the core 9 has substantially the same width. This ridge 70 covers core 9 disposed atop the substrate 13.
The core 9 of the weakly-confining waveguide section 5 is surrounded above by the cladding 11 and below by the substrate 13, thus providing weak photon confinement along the propagation direction. In the strongly-confining waveguide section 7, the cladding 11, core 9 and substrate 13 have been etched away in both the x and y directions so that the cladding 11, core 9 and a portion of the underlying substrate 13 are all the same width, w2, and the core 9 is exposed along its lateral edges 15 to air, for example. Since the refractive index of air is approximately equal to 1.00, strong photon confinement in the core 9 is thus provided along the propagation direction in that waveguide section 7.
One feature of this invention is the use of a tapered neck 3 which joins weakly- and strongly-confining waveguide sections 5, 7. Preferably, this tapered neck 3 is bi-tapered, meaning that it simultaneously tapers along its length in both width and thickness; more specifically, the tapered neck 3 decreases in width and increases in thickness, or increases in width and decreases in thickness, depending upon which direction the neck length is being considered. Typically the tapered neck 3 has a length, l1, (see, e.g., FIG. 2C), and varies in width and thickness along its length where it meets the weakly-confining waveguide section 5, generally designated as 80 in FIG. 2C, to where it meets the strongly-confining waveguide section 7, generally designated as 90 in FIG. 2C.
Various rates of taper could be used, depending upon the particular considerations of a given installation. One or both of the taper rates (i.e., width and/or thickness) could be constant or variable. By way of example, the taper rate may be higher near the strongly-confining waveguide section 7 than near the weakly-confining waveguide section 5. Conversely, the taper rate may be higher near the weakly-confining waveguide section 5 than near the strongly-confining waveguide section 7.
By virtue of the tapered neck 3, optical signals can pass from the weakly-confining waveguide section 5 to the strongly-confined waveguide section 7 without any abrupt transition. By avoiding any abrupt transition, unwanted reflections and other losses in the optical signal as it passes between the two different waveguide sections 5, 7 can be avoided.
The tapered neck 3 provides a gradual simultaneous transition in both waveguide width and thickness between the weakly-confining and strongly-confining waveguide sections 5, 7. Thus, tapered neck 3 can be referred to as "bi-tapered". The two dimensional taper of the neck 3 is provided by selective removal of the cladding 11, core 9 and substrate 13 layers in both the x and y directions (see, e.g., FIG. 1) so that, when viewed in partial cross-section, as in FIGS. 1 and 2C, the core 9 is gradually exposed as the width of the waveguide 1 changes (i.e., decreases). The changing width of the neck 3 may also be clearly seen in FIG. 2D. Progressing from the weakly-confining waveguide-section 5 to the strongly-confining waveguide section 7, the width of the ridge 50, 70 decreases from a first dimension, w1, to a second dimension, w2. At the same time, the cladding 11 is removed, as depicted in FIG. 2C, until the core 9 is exposed. Continuing toward the strongly-confining waveguide section 7, part of substrate 13 is also removed until at a predetermined point the amount of substrate 13 removed is kept constant.
When seen from above as in FIG. 2D, the present invention provides a waveguide 1 having a weakly-confining waveguide section 5 coupled to a tapered neck 3, which is coupled to a strongly-confining waveguide section 7. The tapered neck 3 has a length, l1, that is defined by the distance between the location at which the waveguide section 5 couples to the tapered neck 3, indicated as 80, and the location at which the tapered neck 3 couples to the waveguide section 7, indicated as 90.
When the inventive waveguide 1 is viewed from the side, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, it can be seen that the top surface 17 of the cladding 11 remains level for the entire length of the waveguide 1, whereas as one progresses from the weakly-confining to the strongly-confining waveguides 5,7, increasing amounts of the cladding 11, then the core 9, and finally some of the substrate 13 are removed, until at some point no further substrate is removed, gradually exposing the core 9.
At least with regard to the strongly-confining waveguide section 7 of the waveguide 1, the core 9 can be rectangular, with sides running from approximately 3-10 μm thick and approximately 3-15 μm wide. More preferably, the core 9 is square, with sides from approximately 6-8 μm thick and approximately 6-14 μm wide. The cladding layer 13 covering core 9 can be approximately 3-18 μm thick, and is preferably approximately 15 μm thick, as can be any cladding layer lying beneath core 9. While a wide variety of materials can be used to make the core and cladding layers, silica is presently preferred.
It is preferable that at least one of the weakly-confining and strongly-confining waveguide sections 5 and 7 be single-mode waveguides. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that single-mode waveguides can be formed through the choice of suitable waveguide material and dimensions, and so a detailed discussion of these aspects of the invention is not believed to be needed.
Preferably the bi-tapered neck 3 and waveguide 1 of the present invention may be fabricated using gray-scale photolithographic masking and e-beam exposure techniques. Other now known and hereafter developed semiconductor fabrication and processing techniques may also be suitable for fabricating a waveguide in accordance with the present invention, and as such, are contemplated by and within the scope and spirit of the present invention. The method of the present invention begins by providing a blank 19 of general shape as shown in FIG. 4. The blank 19 has a uniform cross-sectional profile which is generally the same as the cross-sectional profile of the weakly-confining waveguide section 5 of the waveguide 1 depicted in FIG. 1. Thus, the blank 19 has on its top surface a ridge 21 formed from the cladding material 11 and which runs the full length of the blank 19.
The blank 19 is selectively etched to achieve the desired profile in a suitable plasma etching chamber. The blank 19, along with an overlying gray-scale mask 23 (see, e.g., FIGS. 3A and 3B) patterned as described below, is placed into the plasma chamber. Gaseous etchants are introduced into the plasma chamber, where they are ionized. The gray-scale mask 23 lying atop the blank 19 is thin in areas 25 where a high degree of etching is desired, thick in areas 27 where little etching is needed, and thickest 29 where the least (or no) etching is desired (there is a mask thickness above which no etching occurs).
The tapered neck 3 structure may also be formed in a variety of other ways, for example, by performing multiple etching steps. Thus, the present invention is not limited to the procedures which have been described.
The present invention is not limited to any particular semiconductor materials, and may use any materials which possess the requisite optical and physical properties. Presently it is believed that silica-based (SiO2) materials are preferable. In particular, the core 9 might be germanium oxide doped silica deposited atop a silicon substrate 13 (this forming the lower portion of the cladding), with the rest of the cladding being boron-phosphide doped silica glass. Also by way of example, a quartz substrate could be used. Other materials which could be used for the core 9 include indium phosphide, and/or gallium arsenide, and the cladding 11 could be made with indium phosphide, gallium arsenide, aluminum oxide, silicon nitride and/or polymers, or some combination thereof.
It should be understood that this invention is not intended to be limited to the angles, materials, shapes or sizes portrayed above, save to the extent that such angles, materials, shapes or sizes are so limited by the express language of the claims.
Thus, while there have been shown and described and pointed out novel features of the present invention as applied to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood that various omissions and substitutions and changes in the form and details of the disclosed invention may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention. It is the intention, therefore, to be limited only as indicated by the scope of the claims appended hereto.
It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween. In particular, this invention should not be construed as being limited to the dimensions, proportions or arrangements disclosed herein.

Maggie, staff member who ran bar, served dinner and breakfast was superb - a real asset to the hotel. She could not have been more helpful. Rooms were comfortable too. Food was good but a bit too much for a taster menu.

The cleanliness in the bedroom let it down. Stained carpet -which had been cleaned but stain left behind.

The Bay Area is being groomed to play the role of a capitol city in the Pacific Rim economy. The real reason that ABAG has told Berkeley and all the other cities in the Bay Area to build new housing units is to enable the personnel of this capitol city industry and finance to move back from the suburbs, to eliminate the time they spend in highway traffic.

In the the middle of April, 2015, a post went up on indybay.org for an early morning action to block the tech buses at the MacArthur BART station. The date of action was set for May 1st, or International Workers Day. This holiday commemorates the execution of several Chicago anarchists in 1886. These men fought for the eight-hour day, a meager goal that would allow workers to have a little time for themselves. For their efforts, the state sentenced these anarchists to death.

Why J.T. Miller probably won't be joining the Rangers this yearPosted by: | Comments
GM Glen Sather attempted to act swiftly to address the Rangers' depth issue at forward last week, but after Jason Arnott failed his physical the team is still left searching for forwards. Acquiring bottom-six forward Benn Ferriero appears to have been a savvy move, but New York is still thin up front.
The free agent market is barren, so it's likely that the Rangerswill need to recall another player from Connecticut at some point due to injury, suspension or some other unforeseen circumstances. Thus far, the Rangers have deployed Brandon Segal and Kris Newbury, both of who were immediately sent back to the Whale after one-game cameos with the big club. Neither impressed and coach John Tortorella didn't seem to have any trust in them, so neither can be seen as anything more than an emergency stopgap solution.
The problem with Connecticut is not what you think it isPosted by: | Comments
Over the past few months, you've surely noticed that the Connecticut Whale –the Rangers AHL affiliate– has been struggling all year. They have battled inconsistent scoring, Swiss cheese defense, and inconsistent goaltending. While many are pointing to this being a sign of poor drafting and development, it is actually the exact opposite. Good friend of the blog Jess Rubenstein of The Prospect Park noted this in the comments of yesterday's Around The Farm, and it got me thinking about the development of past prospects.
This year's Whale club was supposed to have more than just Chris Kreider, J.T. Miller, and Dylan McIlrath on it. Very few people predicted the kind of year Carl Hagelin would have last season. Most expected him to spend a full year in the AHL last season, which would have made him eligible for the AHL this season (as he wouldn't have passed his waiver threshold). The same can be said for Stu Bickel. Those are two key pieces.
Whale recall defenseman Steven DelislePosted by: | Comments
Connecticut has recalled defenseman Steven Delisle from Greenville of the ECHL. Delisle, who was the throw-in in the Rick Nash trade, has a line of 2-8-10 with a +19 rating in 29 games with the Road Warriors. His +19 rating was tops in the league.
Delisle will likely look to help a weak blue line for the Whale, which has struggled mightily all season long.
Jason Missiaen assigned to ECHL; Bryan Hince called upPosted by: | Comments
The Whale made a pair of roster moves to help shore up the goaltender position. Whale goaltender Jason Missiaen was sent to the Greenville Road Warriors of the ECHL, while the Whale "recalled" Bryan Hince from Greenville. Recalled is in quotes because Hince himself had to be signed to an AHL PTO. For all intents and purposes it's a recall, but there was some additional paperwork required for Hince to play in the AHL.
In three games with Greenville, Hince has a 1-2-0 record with a 3.36 GAA and a .912 SV%. In his professional career at the ECHL level, Hince is 12-3-0 with a 2.91 GAA and .910 SV%.
Missiaen struggled with the Whale this year and has ugly numbers to match his struggles. His 4.94 GAA and .850 SV% were among the worst in the league, although the Whale managed to go 2-3-0 in his games.
For those of you in the Hartford area, here is the press release for this year's Hockey in the Streets program:
HARTFORD, CT, December 10, 2012 – Cigna and the Connecticut Whale are continuing their partnership to bring hockey to boys and girls ages 6 to 12 years in the Greater Hartford area.
The Cigna Hockey in the Streets program starts its second year with a series of one-hour clinics, beginning at six p.m., Monday, December 10, at The Wilson-Gray YMCA Youth and Family Center on 444 Albany Ave., Hartford. This program is available to groups and venues throughout the region.
Chuck Steedman, AEG Connecticut Senior Vice President & General Manager said, "AEG Connecticut is excited to carry on this tremendous program that significantly impacts the community. We strongly believe these type of programs are key to injecting excitement and energy into young hockey fans across the state. The Cigna Hockey in the Streets program had a very successful first year and we are eager to grow it in 2013. We are grateful to have committed partners in Cigna and The YMCA of Greater Hartford to help make this program a reality."
"Both I and our players really enjoyed the Hockey in the Streets program last year," said Whale head coach Ken Gernander. "The chance to go out and meet so many local kids, and to introduce the great game of hockey to many who had never played it before, was a great experience, and we feel like the youngsters and the players all got a lot out of it. We are very much looking forward to doing it again."
Cigna, a global health service company headquartered in Bloomfield, Conn., is a proud sponsor of the Connecticut Whale. Cigna is also a primary supporter of the YMCA of Greater Hartford, and its programs to develop the health and fitness of local youths.
"Part of what we do as a company is to help people in our communities improve their health and well-being. Teaming up with The Whale to bring hockey to children who may not otherwise learn the sport is a great way to help them develop lifelong healthy habits," said Mark Boxer, Cigna's Executive Vice President and Global Chief Information Officer. "With professional athletes teaching them, the children will learn not just the game, but teamwork, leadership, and the determination needed to achieve their dreams. We're excited to continue our support of the Cigna Hockey in the Streets program and look forward to seeing the children shoot for the net."
"The YMCA of Greater Hartford is delighted to once again collaborate with CIGNA and the Connecticut Whale. When community organizations work together, the opportunities for the development of our youth are endless," said James Morton, President and Chief Executive Officer of the YMCA of Greater Hartford. "The Hockey in the Streets program not only teaches our kids the fundamentals of hockey, but emphasizes life skills such as team-building, leadership, personal responsibility, healthy living and the importance of giving back."
In addition to fun and healthy competition, the Cigna Hockey in the Streets will offer greater Hartford kids a Healthy Hat Trick of goals:
1. Live Healthy. Eat right, stay active, and avoid dangerous activity.
2. Be Me. Study hard, respect yourself, and do everything you can to achieve your personal best.
3. Help Others. Spread your healthy outlook to your family, friends, and your community.
Connecticut signs forward Shayne Wiebe to PTOPosted by: | Comments
The Connecticut Whale made one small roster move today, signing forward Shayne Wiebe to a PTO. The 6'0 190 lb forward actually played one game with the Whale this year before being released and sent to the ECHL's Greenville Road Warriors. In 12 games with Greenville, Wiebe put together a line of 7-5-12 and a team leading +9 rating.
You can view the press release after the jump.
Who are the possible midseason call ups?Posted by: | Comments
No matter how much we choose to ignore it, injuries happen to every NHL club. Players get banged up, nicked up, and bruised just like everyone else. It is one of the reasons why teams spend some time and money building their depth in the AHL, as these players can come to define a season. Some players, like Ryan McDonagh, can even make veterans expendable (see: Rozsival, Michal). Others enter in an attempt to shake things up (Carl Hagelin) or due to large numbers of injuries (Stu Bickel). Either way, AHL depth is often an overlooked quality for perennial contenders.
As the Rangers call up more players, their depth in the AHL diminishes slightly. Gone are the big effects of Hagelin and McDonagh. Even Bickel has parlayed his call up into a two-year deal. The Rangers already have a spare forward (Michael Haley) and a spare defenseman (Steve Eminger) on the roster, but the injury bug isn't always that friendly. As multiple players go down, others will need to be brought up.
Naturally, the role the injured player has will affect the player called up, so let's look at the strong possibilities to fill these important roles:
Balancing priorities; are prospects getting the right ice time in Connecticut?Posted by: | Comments
Andrew Yogan has one point in 10 games. Marek Hrivik has no goals and five points in 10 games. Key prospects JT Miller and Chris Kreider have a combined 3 goals in 12 and 11 games played, respectively. Alternatively, Brandon Segal (29 years old, 102 NHL games) has eight points in 12 games and Michael Haley (26 years old, 43 NHL games played) has five points in 12 games. The statistics you just read were intended to be a little thought provoking.
Clearly, outside of the odd game here and there or the odd exception (like Christian Thomas's recent upswing in form, or, for the most part, Kyle Jean) it is the veterans and players with little realistic NHL future that are being counted on to produce for the Connecticut Whale so far this season. All of this begs the question; what should be the priority for the Whale: on ice success or prospect development?
What do the Rangers have in Kyle Jean?Posted by: | Comments
It's fair to say that when Kyle Jean tried out for the Rangers almost every Ranger fan didn't have an idea about the young try-out nor were expectations particularly high. After all, try outs come and go in their dozens and rarely does one stick with a club let alone make some noise. So its fair to say that despite a promising pre-season its come as a surprise to many that Jean has exploded into the AHL season with the Whale grabbing 9 points in 7 games while leading several more eagerly anticipated prospects in scoring a long the way.
Prior to making the Whale, Jean played college hockey and while his numbers for the CCHA's Lake Superior were solid (38 points in 77 games), they were certainly not stand out from the crowd worthy. Indeed, Jean at 22 is not even particularly young for a prospect. So what is there to like about him at first glance? Physically, Jean has great size at 6'3 and 205 lbs and is a left-handed shot. He is also more than willing to put the puck on net at any given opportunity and looks to finish. You can never have enough goal scoring and it's certainly something the Rangers want more of – hence Mr R. Nash's acquisition.
AHL stats aren't everythingPosted by: | Comments
If you've been following the Connecticut Whale, then you've noticed that some of the highly touted prospects, including Chris Kreider, aren't scoring at a pace that some would like to see. Kreider, who is NHL ready, has a line or 1-3-4 through six games, and isn't even in the top five in scoring on the club. Meanwhile, Kris Newbury is leading the team in scoring (as per usual).
It's important to note that it's not about the point totals. It's about how players look on the ice. It's why a lot of folks are very happy about the way Kyle Jean is progressing, as he is putting up points and looking like a possible NHL forward in the process. It's also why you shouldn't necessarily be worried about the point totals of Kreider and J.T. Miller.

ABC News first caught up with Dunne in White River Junction, Vt., on the day after Christmas 2004.
Dunne, who was serving in the state senate at the time, had caught the attention of the network's political unit through his efforts to promote the "creative economy" in Vermont.
A devotee of Richard Florida's "The Rise of the Creative Class," Dunne believes that the engine that drives economic growth is creativity and that what creative people want most of all is the company of other creative people.
Back in 2004, Dunne persuaded his colleagues in the Vermont legislature to set aside $30,000 to help cartoonist James Sturn turn an old department store in downtown White River Junction, Vt., into the Center for Cartoon Studies, "America's only two-year cartooning program."
"In the beginning," said Sturn, "it really helped to be able to say that the state was behind us."
After Dunne secured the state funding for the cartooning school, Sturm was able to tap some of the biggest names in the cartooning business: "Simpsons" creator Matt Groening donated animation cells for auction. Peter Laird, co-creator of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," contributed $150,000 for studio and classroom space.
Dunne sees the Center for Cartoon Studies, which features an "all types welcome" sign, as contributing to what Florida, an urban studies theorist, calls "a cycle of self-reinforcing growth."
"The old model," said Dunne, "was to offer tax incentives to a big company in the hopes that they will choose to locate one of their campuses in your state. The new model is to recruit and retain creative people while preserving your sense of place.
"If it looks like everywhere else," said Dunne, "you don't get that creative juice."
ABC News' Josh Miller contributed to this report.

Each weekend we bring you 25 random observations from the NBA week that was. 1. Blake Griffin is not human. 2. Denver's a really great team this season, they're just not so impressive you know you can count on them in the WCF. The lack of star power is going to continue to be…
Miami's one hot stretch dooms Philadelphia to loss at home
Feb 3, 2012, 11:54 PM EDT
It's not the 43 minutes of good play, it's the five minutes when Miami goes on a run that makes it so hard to beat them. Philadelphia is a seriously good team. At home Friday night they played a close game with last year's Eastern Conference champions for three quarters. The defense, the ball movement,…
Why you shouldn't expect LeBron to do the Dunk Contest
Feb 3, 2012, 8:14 PM EDT
In what is an annual tradition rivaling Meryl Streep getting an Oscar nomination or the Grammys being a disappointment, LeBron James is flirting with the All-Star Weekend Dunk Contest. He says he's on the fence this year. He's not going to do it. You know it. I know it. LeBron may be toying with the…
Orlando Magic suspend Glen Davis two games after outburst
Feb 3, 2012, 5:45 PM EDT
Big Baby is not feeling the Magic. The Orlando backup big man has been suspended for two games by the team after an outburst during shootaround, tweets Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel. No word on what exactly the entire incident was about, or if he dropped his shorts. He will be out for Friday…
Report: Hornets taking Chris Kaman off trade market
Feb 3, 2012, 5:19 PM EDT
Not sure what they were expecting, but what the New Orleans Hornets were offered for center Chris Kaman didn't impress them, so they are taking him off the trade market. That means he will be reinstated on the Hornets active roster, reports Chris Broussard at ESPN. The league-owned Hornets deactivated Kaman last week and told…
Dwight Howard situation could hold up Sessions to Lakers
Feb 3, 2012, 4:38 PM EDT
Much like happens any time there is a big trade looming out there, other moves get bottlenecked up behind it. Case in point — the Lakers need a point guard and have interest in Ramon Sessions, who would be a good fit and be better than anyone they have on the roster. But here comes…
Spoelstra says Heat missed Dwyane Wade's defense
Feb 3, 2012, 3:47 PM EDT
There were some out on the airwaves — mostly people who like to hear themselves talk — who were trying to sell a "the Heat are better without Dwyane Wade" line because the Heat went 8-1 with him out of the lineup and LeBron James' numbers went through the roof. Not true, says Heat coach…
Greg Oden to have another knee surgery. Ugh.
Feb 3, 2012, 2:56 PM EDT
This is not something you should gloat about, this is not a time for "I told you so." This is a sad addendum to a long story. Greg Oden is going to have another operation on his knee, the team has announced. This one is to "remove debris" from his right knee (which was the…
Rajon Rondo likely to return to Celtics lineup Friday
Feb 3, 2012, 2:40 PM EDT
It is officially a game-time decision, but it looks like the Boston Celtics will get Rajon Rondo back in the lineup for their game against the Knicks Friday night. Here is the report from A. Sherrod Blakely of CSNNE.com. Rondo, who has missed the last eight games with a right wrist injury, was an active…
Clippers, Kenyon Martin agree to deal
Feb 3, 2012, 1:33 PM EDT
When you say Clippers you better start to use the word contender with it. Los Angeles filled in a major need — depth along the front line — by agreeing to terms Kenyon Martin, he will sign a mini mid-level deal of $2.5 million for this season (pro-rated by games played), reports the Los Angeles…
Blake Griffin reminds George Karl of Shawn Kemp
Feb 3, 2012, 12:38 PM EDT
Reign Man II? It's hard to come up with a good historic comparison for Blake Griffin, because that combination of size and athleticism just do not come along very often. If ever. But Nuggets coach George Karl had one that I liked — Shawn Kemp. Here's his quote via the Los Angeles Times. "I've talked…
Pacers in mix, maybe in lead, for Chris Kaman's services
Feb 3, 2012, 12:24 PM EDT
The New Orleans Hornets are still looking for the best offer they can get for center Chris Kaman (which the team has sidelined until he is moved). The Houston Rockets were considered the frontrunner as they have been desperate for a big man since the lockout ended. But another name has entered the mix, reports…
Friday And-1 links: Even the Mavs realize OKC is very good

Rafer Alston to join Lakers D-League team, the L.A. D-Fenders
Feb 3, 2012, 11:04 AM EDT
Rafer Alston has been unceremoniously dismissed the last two times he's signed a professional basketball contract, but the veteran NBA point guard and longtime streetball aficionado has decided he wants one more chance to prove he can play in the big leagues. The Los Angeles Lakers' D-League affiliate, the L.A. D-Fenders, have decided to grant him that…
Mavericks' owner Cuban fined $75k for criticizing referees
Feb 3, 2012, 10:53 AM EDT
Apparently today is national "fine everyone in the Mavericks organization day." But like with the coach, we pretty much all knew this was coming. Mavericks' owner Mark Cuban has been fined $75,000 for his criticism of official after the Mavericks loss to Oklahoma City Wednesday. League VP and enforcer Stu Jackson made the announcement Friday.…
Mavericks coach Carlisle fined $35,000 for kicking ball
Feb 3, 2012, 10:37 AM EDT
You knew this was coming the second it happened. Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle has been fined $35,000 by the league for kicking a ball into the stands Wednesday night against Oklahoma City. Carlisle says he was just trying to pass the ball back to the referee. Probably. There also probably was some frustration with his…
China trying to block Kenyon Martin's return to NBA
Feb 3, 2012, 10:14 AM EDT
China does not like to have its power usurped. Here's a long story shortened: NBA free agent Kenyon Martin signed in China during the lockout, a deal that said he would stay there that league's entire season (mid-February to mid-March depending on playoffs). Except he didn't, he left mid-season unhappy with the situation. His contract…

Juvenile Diabetes Cure Alliance
The Juvenile Diabetes Cure Alliance (JDCA) is a New York-based nonprofit focused on bringing about a practical cure for type 1 diabetes. The organization defines a practical cure as any solution that gives people living with the disease the chance to live a normal, unrestricted life.[1] The JDCA is a privately funded research and advocacy organization for type 1 diabetes donors. The independent nonprofit conducts analysis on major diabetes charities such as JDRF, writes reports on cure progress and charity spending, educates donors, and provides counsel for large donors on structuring their gifts.[2]
The JDCA was founded in 2011 by Brian Kelly, chairman of gaming company Activision Blizzard, after his son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Kelly founded the organization to accelerate a cure for type 1 within his son's lifetime. He wanted to bring best practices from the business world to drive accountability in the nonprofit research world and stimulate high-impact giving.[3] The mission of the JDCA "is to direct donor contributions to the charitable organizations that most effectively fund research with the goal of delivering a type 1 Practical Cure by 2025."[1] The JDCA is a 501(c)(3) organization funded by the Brian and Joelle Kelly Family Foundation. It does not directly solicit donations.
The JDCA advocates for research spending toward a practical cure that would enable people with type 1 to live with blood sugar testing once a week or less; eat an unrestricted diet; require only a simple regimen of medication; sleep worry-free; experience only minimal diabetes side effects; and experience fast recovery from surgery. According the organization's research, only six research projects out of more than 300 currently in human clinical trials meet that definition.[2]
By publishing its own reports, the JDCA tracks how much money is being donated to diabetes research foundations and whether the funds are being used for cure research or other areas such as non-cure research, administrative expenses or public education. The JDCA evaluates and analyzes the finances of diabetes charities based on how publicly traded companies report their earnings and expenses,[4] which stems from its philosophy that donors should be treated like shareholders.[5] The JDCA also provides services for donors who want to legally stipulate how their gifts will be used,[6] providing its network of alliance members with information on how to ensure their donations are spent only on practical cure research.[7] In 2013, author Brenda Novak donated all the proceeds from the ninth annual "Brenda Novak for the Cure of Diabetes" online auction to practical cure research at the Diabetes Research Institute.[8]
The JDCA issues regular reports on diabetes charities and research organizations. Its major annual report, "State of the Cure," analyzes the donation revenue and spending of diabetes charities, including JDRF, American Diabetes Association, Joslin Diabetes Center and Diabetes Research Institute Foundation.[9] The 2013 report found that only 2 percent of the funds donated to those organizations is spent on research that would deliver a cure for type 1 diabetes by 2025.[4][10]
According to the JDCA, there are currently four pathways that meet the definition of a Practical Cure: islet transplantation; drugs that would stop autoimmune attack and enable cells to regenerate; devices that would reliably replace the function of the pancreas; and cell retraining therapies.[11] Within those categories, there are six projects in human clinical trials that could deliver a cure by 2025:[12]
- Living Cell Technologies' DIABECELL
- Tianhe Stem Cell Biotechnologies' Stem Cell Educator Therapy
- Faustman Lab at Mass General's BCG Vaccine
- ViaCyte's stem cell therapy
- Sanford Research's combination therapy
- Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc Monolayer Cellular Device
Additionally, the JDCA tracks projects in animal and late-stage preclinical testing. The JDCA does not believe that diabetes foundations should abandon research projects that target complications, glucose control and prevention. Rather, the organization suggests that 25 percent of donations should support practical cure research initiatives.[11]
The JDCA's approach has been criticized as controversial for its focus on outcomes and expediency rather than traditional methods of deciding what projects to fund.[1]
Critics of the JDCA have stated that the definition of a cure can vary, a cure by 2025 is unobtainable and that treatment is an equally valid outlet for funding.[13]

My son is 2.5years old and earlier this year was diagnosed (only due to me keep pushing for medical investigations) it is rare and not much is known about it. Just thought id try and connect with maybe another mummy xx
i truthfully have never even heard of this before... could you give us a general idea of what it is?
Rhombencephalosynapsis is a rare cerebellar (bottom section of ur brain at the back) malformation. In my DS's case its it means his cerebellum fused together instead of seperating whilst he was in utero. It can affect their balance, like my son who can walk but almost has a drunken walk and falls over fresh air. They can suffer decreased muscle bulk. Their late walkers. They can have special needs, very particular in stuff they do and very repetive. . Attention dissorders. No danger awareness. Other than that the medical professionals dnt seem to know anything about it xx
What were the symptoms that made you get him checked out?
Kaylee and Josh- high school sweethearts
Boden Daniel born May 1st 2010 EP'er ( . ) ( . ) silver with gold nipples
Finley Harbor born Feb 27th 2012
There have only been about 5o reported cases of Rhombencephalosynapsis since the first known one in 1914. Until the use of the MRI in 1991, only a few cases were reported. Most doctors, including specialists, have never heard of this condition.
Many people with Rhombencephalosynapsis have normal intelligence. One doctor explained that the cerebellum is a redundant tissue, meaning that several parts do the same thing. He also said things that are usually subconscious could be learned.
Some physical features that seem to be exhibited are irregular hair growth, short stature, inability to gain weight and low set ears.
Gomez-Lopez-Hernandez Syndrome is the only syndrome associated with RS at this time. Gomez-Lopez-Hernandez syndrome consists of RS, alopecia, and trigeminal anesthesia. Many other related conditions and traits have been reported.
I tried to look into it but there is not a lot of info as this seems to be very rare.
This mom seems to be looking for someone as well. Hope this helps.
Here is a baby center mama!
this may help too
My DS seemed to not have much strength when he was little. The wobbly head seemed to go on for longer than it should.
He was struggling to learn to sit up and even when he could finally he wasnt very sturdy. He had been trying to walk from one years old but just could not balance. I thought it was his eyes as he had a bad wonky eye but they gave him an MRI too and found this condition.
Once he could walk he just kept falling over and banging his head.
Oh also his head wasn't quite in proportion with the rest of him due to the fluid on the brain. Dnt know if u use centiles to track growth in USA but his head was measurments were on 91st centile, weight was on 50th and height was on 85th.
ok, I found one more. Its a large group of people on fb with similar or the same diagnosis. Im not sure if you are already a member on face book but it may help.
thanku again for looking into it. The link above is actually a seperate condition that has in a couple of patients been linked with having Rhombencephalosynapsis. But there actually is a group on facebook dedicated to Rs. Xx

Overview:Do you know what it takes to be a credit union supervisory committee member? Supervisory committee members have basic, specific, and mandatory responsibilities that are vital to a credit union's operations and oversight.
NCUA has responded to the increasing number of credit union failures with heightened regulatory scrutiny and requirements in an effort to protect the safety and soundness of the industry. The supervisory committee is ultimately responsible for ensuring "that the credit union adheres to the measurement and filing requirements for reports filed with the NCUA Board under section 741.6." This includes NCUA call reporting and compliance with generally-accepted accounting principles. Does this mean supervisory committee members are required to be a regulator or a CPA? Join us to explore what it takes to be a supervisory committee member during these uncertain times.
Who Should Attend:This informative session is designed for current and future credit union supervisory committee members, as well as anyone who would like a better understanding of the role of the supervisory committee. Attendance verification for CE credits provided upon request.
