Go See Live Music!
What about WSP??? They're the ones that really bring on the heat ...well tlg do too so yeah itz all good dudes.
IY'gotta like the tlg sign in the first picture. All weekend dude!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful shots. Just Beautiful.
Great pictures! sub-par band.
i think that Flat5 is sub-par tea leaf is one of the best jambands touring right now
Fun show...these pictures are fuggin' rad. LUNKERS> For a Good Time....Go to Las Tortugas.
Shame no love for Izabella in this, they rocked too.
wish I could have been there...I get to see them at Mile High next weekend and I can't wait.
I am pretty sure this was probably really, really SICK>>>>Georgie P > Five To One1 > Georgie P.
Georgie P is a kick ass song. I want them to come back to my city, the last time they were here, their second set Killed IT.
I hope they continue to be successful!!!
Excellent images!!! Were the overhead shots of Trevor from a remote camera or from a catwalk? At any rate, kick ass they made feel as is I were there.
They indeed sounded good at All Good this weekend. But what is Reed going to do when dates with JFJO overlap dates with TLG ... ???? I dig both bands, but probably JFJO a little bit more so than TLG. Great shots Josh.
Cant wait for their two free shows at the MN state Fair!!! Franz double encore must have been sick! Josh is starting to look a little like Keller?
im not the only one that thought he looked like Keller, that good... two free shows at MN state fair will be sick!! not to mention the black crows will be there too!! I cant wait to see TLG, I love their music and missed them at rothbury
Deep Fried Pickles and TLG, does it get any better?
Looking forward to 4 Peaks Festival in 2 weeks to catch these guys again. I've never seen a 'bad' TLG show...
^^I have.
Great shots Josh! Wish I could have been there. Long live TLG!
All you folks coming to the MN State Fair,
Besides the Black Crowes & The Black Keys,
FREE w/ Fair Admission Tics: 2 nights of all these great bands:
Tea Leaf Green, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Trampled By Turtles, White Iron Band, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Ave., & WAR. Its gonna be fun!!
Josh is getting a little chunky.
Catching these fine fellas in Columbus with Mule this evening for $5 tickets! Great stuff. Hopefully they lay down a Franz Hanzerback to get the party raging. Diggen these guys for sure. Addition of Reed Mathis has brought them to the next level.
tea leaf green melts my face. keep it moist....
this band is my new favorite...
Tea Leaf is one of the bands that magnatized me to this music and scene. Trevors farmer antics, Reeds stage precense, and Josh's guitar drew me right in.. TLG's Rothbury show was kind of eh (although early am), but they are by far one of my favorite bands. Keep bring the heat fellas!
Ace2002, the images of Trevor were taken from the second level balcony.
Thanks, Josh
I'm looking forward to seein them a Camp Bisco this weekend. A little break from the untz will be a nice time to relax my brain. Raq > Umelt > TLG should be a nice start to a friday afternoon.
is it just me? or do they sound just like stragefolk?
When Reed leaves to tour JFJO Steven Adams (ALO) will fill in for him on bass again. ALO is on hiatus since Zach Gill is in Jack Johnson's band doing a world tour ending in August. Zach Gill & Dave Brogan both have solo albums coming out in the next month. You can listen to the new songs on their myspace pages.
I saw Stevie last year. He sounded great!!
I saw JFJO on 6-25 in Cincy and Reed was missing. It is starting to become clear who is taking most of Mr. Mathis' time, which depresses me. Come on Reed, re-examine your priorities homie. While seeing the Fred with one original member (Mr. Haas) was incredible and completely different from all other Fred shows I've seen, Im still missing Reed laying down his magic. That being said everyone should see JFJO for they are tearing the roof off of every place that is willing to hold them
These guys are tearing up the scene this summer. Where does Josh get his shirts? He's got some rad threads.
josh getting chunky? i dont know what you consider chunky, of how that even crossed your mind. anyways, look at the music milesgone, not the body fat. josh is the shit, he should have a wallet that says bad mother f*cker.

I've come up with a slightly better way to install these headers (J1,
J2, P3, etc.) I pounded the pins into the plastic body so the plastic is
all at one end (no pin sticking out). I put two 0.1" long pieces of
plastic tubing over the pins at each end (the plastic insulation
stripped from a piece of wire). Then insert the pins into the board from
the soldered side.
The plastic tubing holds the plastic body away from the board, so you
can get to the pad to solder all the pins except the end ones. Then cut
off the tubing, and solder the last two pins.

Neat. Now we have to write some simple little programs to show it off.

|ESPN.com: NFL Nation
|[Print without images]
ARLINGTON, Texas -- The biggest story out of the Cowboys' 30-10 preseason win over the Titans in the football debut for Cowboys Stadium was the enormous video board factoring into play. NFC East guru Matt Mosley and I showed the preseason teamwork capabilities of the blog network by combining on this news story about it.
The short version: The Titans think the scoreboard is a huge issue for punters; Jerry Jones thinks of it more like a windmill on a miniature golf course. [Full disclosure, I borrowed that line from Matt.]
One additional quote from Craig Hentrich on the issue: "It's a bad situation when you've got guys that can hit it four or five times in a row, you've got your guys covering down the field four or five times in a row and you're having to redo it and redo it. It's a serious issue. It's pretty cool to see [the giant video board], but you hit a great punt and you hit the scoreboard, then what if you shank one? It's penalizing a great punt and that's not the way it's supposed to be."
Other than A.J. Trapasso's punt that dinged the TV, the stadium scored very highly. Keith Bulluck, who visited the new Yankee Stadium earlier this year, tweeted that Jones had outdone George Steinbrenner.
"It's pretty magnificent, pretty impressive definitely," he said after the game.
Setting aside that fantastic development, the Titans were pretty awful with 191 net yards, 10 first downs and fewer than 20 minutes of possession. Defensively, they allowed 466 yards, 27 first downs and two fourth-down conversions.
They didn't have their starters on the field as long as Dallas did, as the Cowboys stayed on the field through the first half.
But spin as they might, it's hard to find much to like about the work of second quarterback Vince Young or Patrick Ramsey, who is third in line. Jeff Fisher said while Young won't necessarily start, he will get time with the starters in one of the final two preseason games.
Rookie running back Javon Ringer qualified as the primary bright spot.
He finished with the best rushing average in the game thanks to five carries for 33 yards. The Titans fifth-round pick out of Michigan State also had an impressive 51-yard kickoff return and worked on kick and punt coverage teams.
"I do feel very comfortable," he said. "...Thus far, I've been able to go out there, handle myself well and act like I've been here before."
Titans fullback Ahmard Hall said he's been very impressed with how Ringer has carried himself since joining the team.
"I'm amazed that as a rookie he has so much discipline and dedication," Hall said. "He's real disciplined, he knows what to do. He follows instructions real well. The coaches have been doing this for a long time, when they tell you something to do, most likely they've seen it work. If you just listen to them, it'll work for you.
"And that's why you see him breaking so many big runs. If Coach [Earnest] Byner tells him to press the hole and to stick to his first read and he does it, he's out there doing it the way it's supposed to be done every time. Of course you're going to lose some battles, but he's breaking runs, he's making so many things happen."

User Relayed Broadcasting (URB) software creates a media file segmentation and distribution system for affordable broadband live media broadcasting over the Internet to vast audiences. It solves the bandwidth problem for live broadcast servers, eliminating the need to choose between quantity and quality when broadcasting live media over the Internet. URB receives a data stream from a conventionally-encoded media source, segments it into small files, uploads the files to users who re-upload them repeatedly in a chain-letter style multiplier network, and then plays the files back continuously through a conventional media player half a minute later. In effect it only simulates live broadcasting—it isn't live and it isn't broadcasting. It is file-sharing, or rather file-distributing, of media files using a very brief create-distribute-redistribute-play cycle and a time-synchronization protocol. Put simply, URB combines features of (1) live web-based media, such as Shoutcast or Icecast; (2) a file-sharing system similar to Gnutella or Napster; and (3) a cyberspace time-synchronization protocol.
1. A method for arranging nodes within a wide-area network for peer-to-peer delivery of live content over the network, said network having at least a primary host computer and at least three client/server tiers comprised of a plurality of client computers, the method comprising:
storing a current network configuration for the three client/server tiers on the primary host computer including a speed ranking for each of the client computers;
receiving at the primary host computer a request over the network from a new client computer for content;
performing a connection speed testing operating on the new client computer to obtain a speed ranking for the new client computer;
comparing the speed ranking of the new client computer with the speed ranking of at least one of the client computers; and
based on this comparison, inserting the new client computer within one of the three client/server tiers to form a new network configuration wherein the primary host computer serves content to a first tier of the three client/server tiers, client computers of the first tier serve content to a second tier of the three client/server tiers, and client computers of the second tier serve content to a third tier of the three client/server tiers;
the method further including the steps of:
comparing the speed ranking of the new client computer to each of the plurality of client computers within the network; and
if the new client computer has a speed ranking equal to or slower than the plurality of client computers, then connecting the new client computer as a client node for receiving content from a selected one of the plurality of client computers within the network, where the selected one of the plurality of client computers to which the new client computer is connected is determined by:
storing on the primary host computer an order among each of the plurality of client computers for issuing a request for content to the primary host computer;
determining a most recent one of the client computers to issue a request for content;
assigning a probability of selection to the most recent one of the client computers based upon a tier location of the most recent one of the client computers;
selecting or not selecting the most recent one of the client computers according to the probability; and
if not selecting the most recent one of the client computers, determining a next most recent one of the client computers and performing the assigning and later steps.
2. The method of
This application claims the benefit from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/212,111 filed Jun. 15, 2000 whose contents are incorporated herein for all purposes.
1. Field of the Invention.
This invention relates generally to data transmission methods and apparatus and more particularly to methods for distributing data files over a wide area network such as the World Wide Web using audience equipment as retransmission sites.
2. Description of the Prior Art.
Media broadcasts over the Internet come in two broad categories: Live, and On-Demand. The present invention is directed mainly to overcome the obstacles faced by providers of Live Internet broadcasts.
Delivering live broadcasts over the Internet requires very high capacity servers. Not only are media streams greedy consumers of bandwidth individually, every member of the audience requires a separate stream to be uploaded from the host, placing increasing demands on the server. Host servers must be capable of delivering massive amounts of data directly to the backbone of the Internet. A popular radio station may spend thousands of dollars per month in bandwidth and server costs in order to be available on demand to a sufficient audience. Without banks of high-capacity servers, live broadcasters have to limit the size of their Internet audiences or allow their audiences to experience quality problems including interruptions of service.
This means that live broadcasts over the Internet, though popular, are problematic and expensive to deliver. Meanwhile other methods of Internet media delivery have benefited from recent dramatic advances in technology. For example, using a program or a service like Gnutella, Napster, or Scour with a broadband Internet connection, you can find and download a song in perfect stereo in less time than it takes to listen to it. The need remains for a method to bring live broadcasts to the advanced level of other media distribution methods.
User-Relayed Broadcasting (URB) automatically turns a large audience into an even larger server base. Rather than attempting to upload data-rich media streams individually to each and every listener (or viewer in the case of video), URB lets each new member of the audience serve a few or many more members.
URB creates peer-to-peer networks radiating over the Internet from media broadcasters. Each "broadcaster" is the center of a separate media file distribution network in which at least a large minority of the clients on the network perform as servers as well. Thus the listeners function as subsidiary hubs for the network.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become more readily apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention that proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Broadcasting Components:
In operation, a new user logs on to the host computer's IP address to request service. The request enters the host computer through the Internet connection and is fielded by the Hosting Module 28. If the host has remaining upload capacity, the new user is hosted directly by the Hosting Module. If the host is full, the request is referred to the Routing Module 26 which takes the user data, performs a PING test with the new client to adjust the speed ranking if necessary, and follows the client server routing algorithm (CSRA) described further below to decide what to do with that request—either send it right back to the Hosting Module to exchange for a slower client (the slower client then gets sent over to the Routing Module) or send it to one of the clients already receiving a tranche stream to be hosted or routed by that client.
Receiving Components:
A schematic block diagram illustrating the components of a client computer, shown generally at 14 a and bounded by the dashed line, including client software constructed according to a preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in
The user 14 a shown in
The Tranche Layer Monitor 38 compares the scheduled playback time of the arriving tranches with the clock in the Timing Module 22 to determine b as described below. The tranches are held in the client computer RAM for the period called for by b. If the Tranche Layer Monitor 38 finds that the user is in the outermost layer of tranches, (b=0), it waits a random length of time between zero and 42 seconds then directs the Log-on Module 34 to request a new upstream client as a new host. When the tranches have been held in buffer for the appropriate period, they are streamed into the Tranche Splicing Module 40, which strips the brackets (e.g. header information from the packet) off the tranches and recombines them into a continuous codec Stream which is fed into the media player's decoding software 46 to produce the conventional media output 47.
Speed Ranking System (SRS):
A speed test can be performed on the client computer during URB initialization to determine and log the connection speed of the client into a database stored within the host computer 10. The URB installation program logs onto the URB Speed Test Site 48 to receive a data packet to forward on as a simulated test broadcast to measure the user's actual upload performance. The Relay Sites 52 a–e, located at diverse efficient nodes throughout the Internet, measure the elapsed time it takes to receive the data packet from the new user and forwards this information to the Speed Test Site 48. The purpose of this procedure is to ferret out which new users should be given a preferential ranking—only a time fraction of all users. The ranking resulting from the test will be sent out along with a request for service. The ping rate will be used to temporarily lower a user's priority when the connection is not performing well.
Turning to
This ranking is further modified by each server. When a user logs on, if the ping rate is slow the ranking is degraded accordingly.
Client/Server Routing Algorithm (CSRA):
The ranking protocol operative within the CSRA is the 1r, 2r, 3r method described in more detail below. At (1), a 2r user logs onto the main host which is at capacity serving all 1r or 2r clients. At (2), the routing module on the broadcast server relays the request to one of its clients according to the CSRA. That client is also at capacity serving equal or faster clients so the request is relayed yet again (3) to the host (4) featured in
Put another way, when the host is operating at its upload capacity and another user requests hosting, the Routing Module 44 compares the speed ranking of that latecomer with the rankings of the users already being hosted. The routing algorithm starts with the newest user and progresses backward chronologically, looking successively for the slowest-ranked users (for example 3r) first, then the next slowest.
If it finds a slower client it inserts the new client in the slower user's place, pushing the slower client and all the clients it is hosting one level downstream. The new higher-ranked client will receive all subsequent equal and slower clients routed by the host until reaching the number of users appropriate for its speed ranking.
If the latecomer's rating is equal to or slower than all the existing clients, it gets routed to the next client due to receive a user based on the distribution algorithm. The distribution algorithm sends one new user at a time to each existing client in time-sequential order, again newest to oldest. Slower-ranked users are skipped over a fraction of the time. For example, under the 1r, 2r, and 3r system if 1r's can handle four times the traffic of 2r's which can handle twice the traffic of 3r's then the algorithm skips over the 2r's three cycles out of four and it skips over the 3r's seven cycles out of eight.
A user in the final tier will experience a break in the tranche stream if any upstream user is displaced. In order to minimize this exposure, the Tranche Layer Monitor 38 [
Distributed Network Configuration:
URB distributes media files by cascading them through a multi-level network of subsidiary user-hubs. An example of this multi-level network constructed according to the practices of the present invention is shown in
The primary server creating the tranches determines how many tiers will be in the network and sets the U factor accordingly. For example, with 1/16 minute tranches, a U factor of 9/16 minute after the UTC of the actual live feed results in eight layers (nine counting the non-relaying final tier) with a network delay of about 34 seconds ( 9/16 minute). U can not be set at less than 3/16 minute or more than 15/16 minute after the original UTC.
Consider a popular broadcaster located at a site where tranches can be uploaded at 300 k. To avoid congestion, no more than 90% of the capacity should be used −270 k. This supports 16 feeds of MP3 audio (about 16 kbps each) so in a full network there will be 16 users in the first tier. CSRA assures that each of these 16 users will have a high capacity too, say 16 simultaneous uploads, resulting in 256 (16�16) users in the second tier. The second tier users may be slower, averaging a capacity of eight uploads. This gives the third tier 4096 users (8�256). If the geometric average capacity of the third through eighth tier users is 38 k (two uploads) then the theoretical audience limit for this network is 260,368 (16+16�16+16�16�8+16�16�8�2+16�16�8�2�2+16�16�8�2^3+�^4+�^5+�^6). The final tier need not have any upload capacity at all. That means 131,072 (16�16�8�2^{circumflex over (6)}) users more than half the total, could be using slow dial-up modems with almost all the other users using fast dial-ups.
If a quarter million member audience is still too small, the broadcaster can use a very high capacity server. There is a theoretical multiplier effect of 16,273 in the described network comprised of users with a few fast and many slow connections. Broadcasting from a server with an upload capacity of 150 simultaneous streams would serve 2.4 million computers. Another way to increase the capacity is to go to a U factor of 10/16, adding another tier to the network in exchange for four more seconds' delay. In the present distribution of Internet connections this would result in perhaps an eight-fold capacity expansion, reaching 2.1 million users.
As more and more users gain access to fast Internet connections the speed and efficiency of the URB network will increase exponentially.
File Segmentation Protocol:
The output from a media encoder is broken into discrete files bracketed with segmentation codes. These discrete files, each containing the data for a few seconds' worth of media, are called tranches. Each tranche is comprised as follows: s;U;n;M;n+1 where:
There is a deliberate redundancy built into the system. n is a function of U, being tied to the sixteenth of a minute, and n+1 is a function of n. If M is MP3 audio each tranche will contain about 64 kb of data.
Time Sequencing Synchronization Protocol (TSSP):
Upon logging on to receive a broadcast, the program downloads the UTC from www.time.gov (or another time site) and sets the internal clock in the Timing Module 22. Primary hosts 10 set their clock at the start of each broadcast and continue to monitor their timing by comparing the internal clock with the time site periodically. If a broadcaster's clock drifts away from true time the speed of the clock is adjusted accordingly. The timing protocol is not precise enough to be affected by these adjustments. They are made only to keep the tranche layering synchronized for broadcasters operating 24 hours a day.
The tranche creator 56 [
During playback the Tranche Layer Monitor 38 [
Say a user logs onto a popular site and happens to be routed to the sixth tier of users. There are five user-hubs, e.g. 14 a, between it and the primary host 10. The Tranche Layer Monitor 38 checks the brackets on the first tranche as it is downloaded and subtracts UTC from U, resulting in 3/16 minute when rounded off to the closest sixteenth.
The generic formula is:
The sequence of tranches arrives in the right order but not at precisely the right instant. There are gaps and even overlaps. This is why the n and n+1 brackets are needed. n is an integer cycling progressively from 0 to 15, with 15+1=0.
Back to the example. The TLM looks at n in that first tranche and adds b to it. Let's say n in this arriving tranche is 14. 14+3=1, so the TLM 38 sits on that first tranche until the moment a tranche that has n=1 arrives, about 3/16 minute later. Then it sends the tranche to the Tranche Splicing Module 40, beginning the continuous playback.
Once playback has begun the TLM it continues to compare U on each incoming tranche with UTC. If it finds that U=UTC the CSRA has bumped the user into the final tier and a new request for service is sent after waiting a random length of time between 0 an 42 seconds. Meanwhile, the Tranche Splicing Module keeps on playing by matching the n+1 bracket of the tranche it is playing with the n bracket of a trance in the buffer. The TSM functions fine no matter what layer the user is in. After the initial playback has begun the user can bounce all over the place. It may be displaced by a faster user, pushing it one layer back. An upstream user may be bumped downstream, it doesn't matter. The TSM just keeps splicing the tranches together whenever n+1 in the playing tranche equals n on a tranche in the buffer.
If an upstream user disconnects, the TLM notices that there is no U all of a sudden and immediately logs back on with a request for service. The TSM keeps playing from the buffer and a new tranche stream starts arriving from another host on the network. The n values keep the flow going.
Fudge Factor—In development testing it may prove helpful to add a couple seconds to all U factors so there is spare buffering capacity in the system.
Having described and illustrated the principles of the invention in a preferred embodiment thereof, it should be apparent that the invention can be modified in arrangement and detail without departing from such principles. I claim all modifications and variation coming within the spirit and scope of the following claims.
Codec: (coder/decoder or compression/decompression)—A standard method of coding and decoding media data.
CSRA: Client/Server Routing Algorithm—The method followed in URB to make efficient use of host/clients.
DSL: Digital Subscriber Line—A high-speed internet connection using conventional copper telephone wires. Its typical bandwidth capacity ranges between 128 k and 768 k.
FTP: File Transfer Protocol—A method of moving files from system to system using TCP/IP.
Gnutella: A serverless peer-to-peer file sharing program in which users are hubs.
HTTP: HyperText Transfer Protocol—The method of moving data from system to system. Tells the program looking at the data how to use it.
Icecast: An open-source streaming audio system based on MP3 audio compression technology, similar to Shoutcast.
MPEG: Moving Pictures Expert Group—A format for compressing video.
MP3: Short for MPEG Audio Layer 3, a compression standard for music.
MP4: Also referred to as Divx—A new and very efficient video compression standard.
Napster: A proprietary server-based MP3 file sharing system.
PING: Packet Internet Gopher—A standard suite of TCP/IP protocols that checks connectivity between devices.
RealAudio: A leading provider of codec services.
Shoutcast: A proprietary Winamp—based distributed streaming audio system.
SRS: Speed Ranking System—Provides a numerical ranking of a user's likely upload capacity for the URB system.
Tranche: Discrete files containing a few seconds of compressed media bracket by identification and timing codes in the URB system.
TLM: Tranche Layer Monitor
TSSP: Time Sequencing Synchronization Protocol—The method URB developed to play downloaded Tranches back at the right time in the right order.
URB: User Relayed Broadcasting—Provides live media broadcasts over the Internet to vast audiences without requiring powerful servers. It simulates broadcasting by distributing media files over a peer-to-peer network using a very brief create-distribute-play cycle and TSSP.
UTC: Universal Coordinated Time—A standardized global time, also called World Time and formerly called Greenwich Mean Time.
Winamp: A proprietary high-fidelity music player that supports MP3 and Shoutcast.
WndowsMedia: Microsoft provider of codec services.
AW: basically the way I'm designing the system based on your idea, is that its going be like a codec, because that pipes the stream to the other codec. For example in winamp, you install a DSP program, that steams the data out to the internet, but to get the stream data from the system, you need to have some program that logons to the server and sense all the data and your connection info and such and then pipes the steam to your codec.

Collecting lost lightJune 15, 2015 10:15 am | by Joint Quantum Institute | News | Comments
Optical fibers are hair-like threads of glass used to guide light. Fibers of exceptional purity have proved an excellent way of sending information over long distances and are the foundation of modern telecommunication systems. Transmission relies on what's called total internal reflection, wherein the light propagates by effectively bouncing back and forth off of the fiber's internal surface.

Nanoparticles break the symmetry of lightOctober 6, 2014 12:59 pm | News | Comments
At the Vienna Univ. of Technology gold nanoparticles have been coupled to a glass fiber. The particles emit light into the fiber in such a way that it does not travel in both directions, as one would expect. Instead, the light can be directed either to the left or to the right. This became possible by employing the spin-orbit coupling of light, creating a new kind of optical switch that has the potential to revolutionize nanophotonics.

A prison for photons in a diamond-like photonic crystalSeptember 26, 2014 9:08 am | News | Comments
Confined photons have many potential applications, such as efficient miniature lasers, on-chip information storage, or tiny sensors on pharmaceuticals. Making a structure that can capture photons is difficult, but scientists in the Netherlands have recently devised a new type of resonant cavity inside a photonic crystal that imprisons light in all three dimensions.
A molecule in an optical whispering gallerySeptember 23, 2014 9:19 am | News | Comments
Using an optical microstructure and gold nanoparticles, scientists have amplified the interaction of light with DNA to the extent that they can now track interactions between individual DNA molecule segments. In doing so, they have approached the limits of what is physically possible. This optical biosensor for single unlabelled molecules could also be a breakthrough in the development of biochips:
Optical circuit uses record low energy to operateSeptember 10, 2014 6:07 pm | by Nik Papageorgiou, EPFL | News | Comments
Optical circuits use light instead of electricity, making them faster and more energy-efficient than electrical systems. Scientists in Switzerland have now developed a silicon-based photonic crystal nanocavity to be used as a first building-block for photonic "transistors". The new device requires record low energy to operate.
Engineers take step toward photonic circuitsAugust 20, 2014 8:35 am | by Richard Cairney, Univ. of Alberta | News | Comments
The invention of fiber optics revolutionized the way we share information, allowing us to transmit data at volumes and speeds we'd only previously dreamed of. Now, electrical engineering researchers at the Univ. of Alberta are breaking another barrier, designing nano-optical cables small enough to replace the copper wiring on computer chips.
Therapy for ultraviolet laser beams: Hydrogen-treated fibersAugust 12, 2014 8:17 am | by Laura Ost, NIST | News | Comments
To make a better optical fiber for transmitting laser beams, the first idea that comes to mind is probably not a nice long hydrogen bath. And yet, scientists have known for years that hydrogen can alter the performance of optical fibers, which are often used to transmit or even generate laser light in optical devices. Researchers at NIST have put this hydrogen "cure" to practical use.
A transistor-like amplifier for single photonsJuly 28, 2014 11:19 am | by Olivia Meyer-Streng, Max Planck Institute | News | Comments
With the help of ultracold quantum gas, physicists have achieved a 20-fold amplification of single-photon signals, a step that could aid all-optical data processing efforts. The breakthrough was made with the invention of a new type of optical transistor build from a cloud of rubidium atoms, held just above absolute zero, that is transparent to certain wavelengths of light.
Graphene surfaces on photonic racetracksJuly 28, 2014 11:12 am | News | Comments
Scientists in the U.K. recently published work that describes how graphene can be wrapped around a silicon wire, or waveguide, and modify the transmission of light through it. These waveguide loops, called "racetrack resonators" because of their shape, could help form a device architecture that would make graphene biochemical sensors a reality.
Researchers pioneer a Google street view of galaxiesJuly 23, 2014 9:55 am | by Verity Leatherdale, Univ. of Sydney | News | Comments
A new home-grown instrument based on bundles of optical fibers is giving Australian astronomers the first "Google street view" of the cosmos—incredibly detailed views of huge numbers of galaxies. Developed by researchers at the Univ. of Sydney and the Australian Astronomical Observatory, the optical-fiber bundles can sample the light from up to 60 parts of a galaxy, for a dozen galaxies at a time.
Breakthrough in the development of stretchable optical waveguidesJuly 16, 2014 10:33 am | News | Comments
Scientists in Belgium have recently fabricated the world's first randomly deformable optical waveguide. This innovative optical link remains functional for bending radii down to 7 mm, and can be stretched to more than a third of its length. A link like this can be used to interconnect optical components within a stretchable system, just like stretchable electrical interconnections.
New nonlinear metamaterial is a million times better than traditional optionsJuly 2, 2014 3:48 pm | News | Comments
Nonlinear optical materials are widely used in laser systems, but they require high light intensity and long propagation to be effective. A team in Germany and Texas has designed a new 400-nm thick nonlinear mirror that delivers frequency-doubled output using input light intensity as small as that of a laser pointer. Compared to traditional nonlinear materials, the new option offers a million times increase in nonlinear optical response.
Hundreds of sensors packed into a single optical fiberJune 26, 2014 2:37 pm | News | Comments
By fusing together the concepts of active fiber sensors and high-temperature fiber sensors, a team of researchers at the Univ. of Pittsburgh has created an all-optical high-temperature sensor for gas flow measurements that operates at record-setting temperatures above 800 C. The new technology should be ideal for use in deep drilling operations, nuclear reactor cores and outer space.
Using femtosecond lasers to administer drugsJune 25, 2014 7:59 am | by Kathleen Estes, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology | News | Comments
A team of scientists in Japan and New Zealand have combined lasers, nanotechnology, and neuroscience to develop a new, versatile drug delivery system. The precise timing of a femtosecond laser is used to release dopamine, a neurochemical, that is dysfunctional in Parkinson's Disease in a controlled and repeatable manner that mimics the natural dynamic release mechanism.

Recipe by Chessenden
"The name does not accurately describe this dessert but since it has been a family favorite for so many years I am loathe to change it. This is a light, child-friendly dessert we instituted for the children at Christmas. It is especially well-received after a heavy meal. You will be asked for seconds!"

I have made this recipe many times over the years. It can also be sugarfree using diabetic jellos. I really do not know why it is always described as a childrens dessert because it is very much appreciated by adults and a wonderful addition to Xmas desserts.
I made this but found the Jello had way too much water as when I went to fold it into the whip cream part it fell apart and looks awful. I think it will taste okay thought.

This is a great recipe but substitute the graham crackers for lady fingers. It is a very light dessert and the presentation is very colorful
This recipe was a must for my sister (rip). It was my sister's signature dessert. She was asked to make this for every family event. Did not make a graham cracker topping. Was not needed. But, instead of a 9x13 pan, it was made in a mold, when she needed to unmold it, placed bottom of mold into warm water until it was able to unmold onto a plate. Placed a plate on open side of mold, turned it over to unmold onto the plate. Spectacular! Nobody has attempted to make it.
This is one of my favorite childhood desserts. I was so glad to find it here. As delicious as I remember.I did this recipe as a part of the Western Region's Faceless Frenzy July 2012.
I combined this recipe and the one I have had for years and years and this recipe gave me more info on the size of the jello packages to use..so thanks to whoever put this in !!! I made it for my bible study class( I was nervous as I had not used it for years,) and it was a hit and had requests for the recipe !!!
In 2010, I tried an earlier AR version of this recipe. VERY GOOD. Be sure to give the final product plenty of time to completely set up.
Growing up, over 50 years ago, this was my all-time favorite. We called this "Broken Glass Torte". It was made with a graham cracker crust in a springform pan. I omitted the graham cracker topping and only used 1/2 cup of cold water in each flavor. This was a hit in the 1960s, and it is still a hit today. A golden oldie!

College students are confronted with two types of memory. The first and more common is general memory, or remembering the idea without using the exact words of the book or professor. General memory is called for in all subjects, however, the arts, social sciences, and literature probably make the greatest use of this particular kind of remembering.
The other type of memory is the verbatim memorization of words by which something is expressed. This type of memorization may be called for in all subjects but especially in law, theatre, science, engineering, mathematics, and foreign language where the exact wording of formulas, rules, norms, laws, scripts, or vocabulary must be remembered.
Below are some tips on how to remember things effectively:
