Can fluffy platitudes beat Red Ken in London?
by Darcus Howe Published
Two major interviews in the broadsheets in successive days and Trevor Phillips, hereinafter called T Phil, has declared his candidacy for the post of mayor of London.
For some time he has been promising, hinting, but now he has taken the plunge.
No one else is currently in the ring with him. It is all shadow-boxing, with not even a punchbag to test T Phil's left hook or right cross. You see nimble footwork, a punch half-thrown, but it's more a shape than the real thing.
In one of the interviews, T Phil set up Ken Livingstone as the "unelected" head of the Greater London Council and the man who at first opposed the "fares fair" policy which he has so often claimed to his credit. Both shots are fairly wide of the mark, tending to lose T Phil points, rather than add to his tally. But it's early days yet.
T Phil must convince the London Labour Party first. I know very little of that organisation nowadays. It certainly is not the organisation that yielded Boateng, Grant, Abbott, Vaz and more than a dozen black councillors in Lambeth. Those were the days when the black communities from Brixton to Toxteth were up in arms and Labour Party debates were spearheaded by groups in which political currents from the Russian Revolution flowed freely.
T Phil was head of the National Union of Students, a position he won as a Left Unity candidate. Later, he worked on Skin and Black on Black, television programmes that sought to articulate the problems facing blacks. That was T Phil's first foray into television, not the London Programme, as some will have it. These programmes came out of London Weekend Television, and T Phil traversed the capital as a black broadcaster and was baptised as such in the stormy waters of New Cross, Brick Lane and elsewhere. So he was formed and shaped in an era that had an edge of radicalism.
The current London Labour Party is a different kettle of fish. It appeared at my doorstep recently as a tired force hardly able to raise its head to contest the Euro elections. A canvasser dropped a paper through my letter box and, before I could start an exchange, she was waving, pointing at her watch, refusing my offer of a chat.
In one of his interviews, T Phil describes the Labour Party as "young, quite happily professional and pretty sophisticated" (the opposite of what it used to be in the days of black sections). That sounds to me like a description of Phillips himself, and the follow-up seems to be that the party is shaped in his likeness, as opposed to Ken Livingstone's. But to me it seems now more a party at odds with itself, having to pick up the pieces after a devastating defeat in the Euro elections.
Londoners have rebelled, and as always they have a scent for a radical agenda, a dust-in-your-face style, a campaign war, as opposed to one that is led, and muted, by spin-doctors. And T Phil had better get that mood right or he will be mere fodder for Lion Ken. I do not need to interview T Phil in order to give some journalistic insight into the political character. I have known the lad for close to 25 years now. He appears a polite softie and not so fiercely ambitious.
He is currently positioning himself with a general programme, fluffy and inoffensive. He promises, for example, to re-invent the high street. But the truth is that shopping malls have drawn the shopper off the high street and into mutliplexes, and not even the most determined and well-intentioned Luddite can reverse that process in London or elsewhere.
T Phil knows all that. His campaign programme consists of platitudes behind which he is prepared to negotiate in the fix and mix of politics. That is T Phil's strong point. At some juncture, a deal will be brokered in which he will either be king (I rather doubt it) or play a major role in the running of London. My bet is that he will head the new police authority. And after that? Who knows?

If Brownwood thought that its last district game at Mustang Gym for at least the next two years would be easy, Sweetwater had them thinking otherwise by gameŌĆÖs end Tuesday.
Unfortunately, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. As a result, the playoff-bound Lions (5-1) left with a 57-48 win that kept them in contention for a share of the District 5-3A title. But it took clutch free throw shooting at the end for Brownwood to finally hold off Sweetwater (1-6), which twice got within four points until the Lions hit 7-0f-8 from the line in the final 1:07 to seal the win.
Brownwood showed again here Tuesday why it is the No. 6-ranked team in Class 3A girls basketball.

Haskell (6-4) claimed the No. 3 berth Tuesday by beating Rotan. Hamlin (9-1) and Munday (8-2) took the top two spots in the district.
Sweetwater won three of its four sub-varsity games against Brownwood here on Tuesday. The JV boys won 43-28, the JV girls prevailed 53-42 in their game and the freshman boys defeated Brownwood 38-15. The freshman girls lost to Brownwood in their contest, 34-31.
The JV boys, who are now 16-10 overall and 3-4 in district, were led by Trey Taylor with 11 points. Deandre Gatson had 10, Quentin Wetsel eight, Brandon Howell seven, Mike McCoy five and Mar-quees Jenkins two.

Comments about LORAC TANtalizer Body Bronzing Spray, Bronze, 3.4 oz:
I was looking for something simple that I could wash off at the end of the day. I used to use another product, but it is no longer on the market.
I thought that faux tanning had come a long way over the years. I'm so surprised by the strong and unnatural orange hue this imparts… nothing attractive about it. Also, the smell is strong and I don't like it. The only good thing I can say is this washed off easily with soap and water.
Sorry that this review is so negative, I'm just so shocked. And I hope I can spare some of you the disappoint I found in this purchase.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

text: The Exiles wiki last edited by Thor_Ul on 02/18/15 12:44AM View full history A high school student named Amber Hunt is one of the most popular girls in her school and very spoiled. In the middle of her biology class, Amber Hunt and the rest of her classmates find that a battle between ultras, people with super-human powers, is going on right outside of their school. To Amber Hunt's surprise, she finds that both factions of ultras are fighting over her. The winner of the fight, the Exiles, gather Amber Hunt before she can escape and they take her to their secret headquarters: an island off the coast of California. There she meets Doctor Rachel Deming, who explains that the Exiles saved Amber from certain death. Meanwhile, the Supreme Soviet informs Malcolm Kort, the man who hired him to capture Amber Hunt, that he has failed. Supreme Soviet still demands payment and Kort introduces him to Hot Rox, a powerful ultra. Hot Rox places Supreme Soviet in a holding tank that exposes him to an mRNA gene therapy that would give people with the Theta virus a super power, but kills those without it. Since Supreme Soviet is only human, it effectively killed him. Meanwhile, another contingent of the Exiles, Catapult and Mustang, goes on a mission to gather another potential person with the Theta virus, Timothy Halloran. There they are met with Bruut and Bloodbath, two agents also trying to get Timothy Halloran. A fight ensues and Timothy's mother becomes a fatality. Bruut is also taken down, but Bloodbath is able to escape with Timothy.

I've been going to Tang Tang ever since it opened many years ago. I've moved several times, but always stop in to Tang Tang to pick up some Cold Sesame Noodles to go whenever we find ourselves on the upper east side. They are the best in the city. Another addicting dish is the "Crispy Tangy Beef". It is listed "as a must" on the menu and really is. It is deep fried strips of beef in a honey-like sweet sauce. It is so yummy over rice.

Being a vegatarian at a Chinese restaurant I can usually find only a few choices i.e. Broccoli/Egg Plant in Garlic Sauce (I like *hot* food). Here there are excellent choices for a vegetarian and I've had 4 dishes - all are great: 'Home Style Potato with Dry Bean Curd', 'Bean Curd in Black Bean Sauce', 'Home Style Bean Curd' and 'Broccoli in Garlic Sauce'. The 'Sesame Noodles' are just about the best I've had. I order take out and eat at the place often and I always order the 'Vegetable Tofu Soup'.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Kentucky faces a Texas-sized task defending Wisconsin 7-footer Frank Kaminsky, and not just because he's the tallest player the Wildcats have faced in the NCAA tournament.
The Badger junior's ability to score inside and outside forces the Wildcats (28-10) to keep a body on him near the basket and deny on the perimeter.
Increasing the challenge for Kentucky's frontcourt is the absence of 7-footer Willie Cauley-Stein, who's sidelined by an ankle injury. With Cauley-Stein out, Kentucky will turn to 7-0 freshman center Dakari Johnson - who has developed into an inside presence during the postseason - and Marcus Lee.
Still, nothing the Wildcats have seen matches the threat posed by Kaminsky, named the West Region's most outstanding player after his 28-point, 11-rebound performance in Saturday's overtime win against Arizona.

Class Notes: School year gets off to a great start
The new school year is well underway and off to a great start. Our 42,000-plus students are back in the classrooms of an "A" school district a second year in a row. They were greeted on Monday by 3,000 smiling, enthusiastic teachers, ready to satisfy each student's thirst for knowledge.
That first day is always exciting. A 23-year education veteran, Principal Bev Budzynski at Naples Park Elementary School still finds it to be exhilarating.
"Teachers and staff are just like students, having trouble sleeping the night before, looking forward to everything the year is going to bring in the way of new ideas, new technology…new things," she said.
I was with Principal Budzynski as she welcomed students back on Monday. It was a huge day there, worthy of much celebration. The "B" school last year is an "A" school today.
"The students, parents, and staff — everyone is happy. We worked so hard last year, and the hard work of the students and the dedication of the teachers really paid off!" the principal said. Students returning to Naples Park were welcomed by an arch of red, white and blue balloons. "We want everyone to know how proud we are of our 'A' and the district's 'A' grade."
Colleague Leanne Zinser spent time Monday morning with Pine Ridge Middle School Principal George Brenco who was giving high fives to students he greeted. Pine Ridge's streak of being an "A" school remains unbroken, having enjoyed an "A" grade 10 years in a row.
Brenco credits his students, "very supportive parents who make sure their kids are ready to come to school, and a fine staff for a total team effort." Some would say it is harder to maintain an "A" than to get to an "A," and Principal Brenco agrees. "You are always striving to do a little bit better than the previous year, so we concentrate on making gains for students, even individually, as much as we like to target students who need specific help."
Overall, the district has 20 schools that received an "A" grade this year.
What's next? School open houses, and in some cases, curriculum nights — always a good way to become comfortable with your child's school, and to learn what he or she will be learning during the course of the school year. To find out when your school's big event is being held, just go to the home page of the district website: www.collierschools.com. You can't miss the Open House Information link we've got at the top of the page, in the Looking For area. And we'll see you at a school near you sometime soon.

Video: Police say no one intervened in school bus beating
Video: Cell phone video shows brutal school bus beating
PHOTOS: Florida's rejected license plates aren't always offensive
Gulfport, Florida - Three Pinellas students are charged with aggravated battery for beating another student on the school bus and police say no one on the bus helped stop the fight.
"Bruises, lacerations to the face arm, fractured arm," describes Sgt. Thomas Woodman.
These are the injuries Gulfport police say a 13-year-old Lealman Intermediate School student suffered on the school bus ride home Tuesday afternoon.
According to police, the three suspects say the beating was a retaliation. The victim reported to school officials earlier that day that two of the three suspects allegedly tried selling him marijuana in the school bathroom.
"It's absolutely appalling," says Woodman.
Police say the school bus video shows the beating lasted about a minute. Woodman says, "He tried to protect himself, put up his arms and legs. The three suspects in this case continually beat, stomped on him, kicked him. Ultimately, he climbed under the seat of the bus just to get away from the three suspects."
Gulfport police say when the fight began, the school bus driver pulled over along 51st and 50 Avenue South and radioed dispatch for assistance, but that's all. Police say no one -- not even the bus driver -- tried stepping in to stop the beating.
Woodman says, "He's the adult, the caretaker. You expect him to intervene at some point, assist the young child. His failure and actions to do so will be investigated."
Khemradj Lloyd's family would not go on camera, but say he's never been in trouble with the law before this. Joshua McKnight's family would not talk either, but one neighbor says a lot of people are often seen going in and out of the house.
All three teens are charged with aggravated battery, but Joshua Reddin also faces a robbery charge for stealing $5 from the victim after the beating.
10 News asked district officials why the school would allow the victim to board the same bus as the two students he just told on. Pinellas school district officials say they are investigating.
In a statement released by school district spokesperson Melanie Marquez Para, she says "If there is an indication of a threat to student safety the school has processes in place to address it. At this time there is no indication that the school did not follow proper procedures."
10 News requested the school bus video, but since this is an open investigation, police refused.

P S Jayaram / 3 July 2012
The Congress government in Andhra Pradesh was put in an embarrassing situation when a fire broke out at the century-old Jubilee Hall on Sunday, immediately after the UPA Presidential candidate Pranab Mukherjee addressed a gathering of MPs and MLAs.
Though there were no casualties in the fire that broke out at the stationery room of the state-owned complex minutes after the dignitaries left the venue, the mishap left the government red-faced.
Mukherjee, who was here as part of a nation-wide tour to mobilise support for his candidature, addressed a meeting of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) at Jubilee Hall, located at a stone's throw distance from the Legislative Assembly and Council buildings. Also present on the occasion was Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, his cabinet colleagues and the party lawmakers.
Minutes after Mukherjee left the venue, the fire broke out and a cloud of smoke billowed out into the sky, causing panic in the area. It took a while for the fire tenders to arrive. The legislators and ministers, along with their supporting staff, were seen rushing out of the building.
"It is very strange that there is no fire station in the vicinity of such an important building. We are lucky that the fire started after Pranabda and other senior leaders left the venue," Congress MP from Telangana region G Vinod said.
Meanwhile, the chief minister has ordered a probe into the fire accident by senior IAS officer Ajay Mishra, secretary in the General Administration Department.
Earlier, addressing the gathering, Mukherjee said: "I have appealed to all political parties who have not decided to extend their support to me to take a decision in my favour and in favour of UPA. Those who have extended their support to me, I thank them; those who are supporting UPA from outside like SP, BSP, I thank them and those who have extended support to me as presidential nominee, like Shiv Sena, I have thanked them as well."
A protest by a small group of pro-Telangana activists greeted the presidential candidate outside the Begumpet airport. Raising slogans in support of a separate state of Telangana, the protesters tried to stop his convoy but police foiled their attempt. They wanted Mukherjee to spell out his stand on the demand for carving out separate Telangana state.
Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owasi, whose Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) is supporting the UPA choice for the President's post, also met Mukherjee.

"[T]his is a welcome addition to the literature on religion and new immigrants, a field that most social scientists have ignored." - Harvey J. Strum, Multicultural Review
"This book is a valuable and recommended addition to the increasing body of literature on religion and immigrant communities."
- Ann Gleig, Religious Studies Review
"In spite of its tremendous and ambitious goal, Religion at the Corner of Bliss and Nirvana is not difficult to follow its daunting 372 pages. The writers did a fantastic job by reflecting on the different religious practices of the wide variety of immigrants in San Francisco. I was pleasantly surprised that such a difficult and complex theme kept me absorbed at all times." - Anna Hamling, Feminist Review blog
"Religion at the Corner of Bliss and Nirvana is a welcome new compilation of research on migrants and religion. It not only addresses subjects such as identity and politics, but also gives voice to groups and institutions not often considered by religious studies, such as transnational gangs, Filipino American faith-based organizations, and adherents of the Chinese goddess Tianhou. By considering these together, this anthology offers new perspectives on the intersections of faith and immigration."—Russell Jeung, author of Faithful Generations: Race and New Asian American Churches
"Religion at the Corner of Bliss and Nirvana offers a cornucopia of fresh insights into the multiple roles religion plays for immigrant communities, as they negotiate the challenges of settlement in the always iconoclastic city of San Francisco. It includes groundbreaking comparisons among various Asian and Latino groups, ranging from Salvadoran Pentecostals, Vietnamese Theravada Buddhists, Filipino Roman Catholics, and Chinese-American Presbyterians. The volume also stands out for its innovative and perceptive exploration of the connections among transnationalism, spiritual journeys, gender crossings, and acculturation."—Manuel A. Vásquez, University of Florida, Gainesville

Legends wrap up road trip with 4 at Lakewood
South Atlantic League baseball
Lexington Legends
at Lakewood BlueClaws
What: Four-game series
When: Saturday through Tuesday (4:05 Saturday and 1:05 Sunday afternoon, 6:35 Monday and Tuesday nights)
Where: FirstEnergy Park (Lakewood, N.J.)
Major League affiliates: Kansas City Royals (Legends), Philadelphia Phillies (BlueClaws)
Probable pitchers (Legends listed first): Saturday, LH Daniel Stumpf (2-0, 1.33) vs. RH Shane Watson (1-2, 5.40); Sunday, RH Aroni Nina (0-1, 3.71) vs. RH Kevin Brady (1-2, 5.24); Monday, RH Bryan Brickhouse (0-3, 3.00) vs. LH Yoel Mecias (0-1, 6.16); Tuesday, RH Miguel Almonte (1-3, 4.13) vs. RH Nicholas Hanson (1-0, 4.35).
Legend to watch: OF Ethan Chapman (5-foot-9, 166 pounds, age 23, from Pomona, Calif., bats left, throws right) leads the Legends with a .275 batting average through Thursday. Over 27 games, Chapman is 22-for-80, with three doubles, 10 walks, five RBI, 10 runs and 14-for-17 in stolen-base attempts. Selected in the 30th round of last June's draft, he attended Cal State San Bernadino, where he was a teammate of fellow Royals prospect Aaron Brooks. Chapman scored a school-record 60 runs as a freshman in 2010. He also tied the school record for home runs in a season (14), earned second-team All-West Region and, in 2012, won an ABCA West Region Gold Glove. Assigned to Idaho Falls of the Pioneer League last summer, he was the Chukars' Player of the Year. He finished second in the league in stolen bases (25), third in triples (9), tied for fourth in runs (58), sixth in hits (88) and tied for ninth in doubles (9).
BlueClaw to watch: 3B Mitch Walding (6-3, 190, 20, from Lodi, Calif., bats left, throws right) is hitting .267 through 25 games, with five doubles, two triples, 16 RBI and 12 runs. Selected in the fifth round of the 2011 draft, out of St. Mary's High School in Stockton, Calif., where he also starred in football, he turned down a scholarship to Oregon and signed for $800,000. Rated by Baseball America as the No. 16 prospect in the Phillies system, and No. 20 by MLB.com, he made his pro debut last year with Williamsport of the New York-Penn League. He batted .233 for the Crosscutters, after starting his first month at .383. Notes Baseball America: "… He ran into some struggles that snowballed as he got down on himself. Walding is learning how to translate his tools into baseball ability, but his upside is significant. He has a sweet left-handed swing that generates natural backspin, and he projects to have above-average raw power as he grows into his broad-shouldered frame."

ELIZABETHTON -- Tyler Bailey was North Greene's not-so secret weapon against Hampton in the District 1-A baseball tournament on Tuesday night.
The Huskies' senior right-hander struck out eight Bulldog batters in a rain-shortened 5-1 winners' bracket semifinal at Cannon-Gouge Field.
A second semifinal between University High and Unaka fell victim to the wet weather. It is rescheduled for today at 5 p.m.
Bailey gave up just three hits and four walks over six innings to pick up the win.
"Early in the game, I had my fastball working against them," Bailey said. "Then, I started getting my curveball over. The last time I pitched against them, I struggled getting my curveball over."
The teams started play in the seventh with another strikeout and two more walks for Bailey, but the rain finally won out.
Hampton head coach Matthew Hardin wasn't happy about extra time being used to put drying composite for the mound before the rain picked up and the game being called.
"(We) got beat by four runs," Hardin said after his team fell to 12-11. "(We) had runners on second and third, two balls on the hitter with one out and they call the game. I guess it was too wet to pitch off of."
While the Bulldogs' frustration was understandable with two runners on base, the Huskies (18-3) put themselves in the driver's seat with runs earlier.
Hitting in the No. 7 spot, Will West provided the bulk of the offense, going 2-for-3 with three RBIs. His first home run of the season, a two-run shot in the sixth inning gave the Huskies some insurance. Adam Kirk also had a 2-for-3 effort.
"These first games in the tournament you never know what's going to happen," North Greene coach Tim Lady said. "He (West) was batting about .220 three weeks ago, but he's starting to hit the ball a little better now. He's a big asset for us."
Scoreless through three innings, North Greene finally struck in the bottom of the fourth.
Brett Bolton walked and advanced on a wild pitch. Zak Potter provided a RBI double for a 1-0 lead.
After a long fly out to left field, Hampton (12-11) switched from starting pitcher Kody Lauderback to Stone Hutchinson, but the Huskies scored two more runs.
West had a RBI single to score Potter, and Mark Trent scored the final run for a 3-0 lead.
The Bulldogs got their only run off T.J. Hicks' RBI double to score Lauderback.
1-A softball
North Greene 6, Hampton 2
Jessie Donuhue threw a two-hitter as the Lady Huskies (8-15) beat the Lady Bulldogs (3-18) in a losers' bracket game at ETSU's Betty Basler Field.
Same as baseball, a late game between Unaka and University High was rained out and rescheduled for today.
Mendy McNeese's RBI double highlighted North Greene taking a 5-0 lead in the first ining. The lead increased to 5-0 on Shaya Harmon's two run home-run in the second.
After a RBI single by Donuhue in the fourth, Hampton answered with two runs in the top of the sixth. Sadie Fletcher had a RBI single and Kalee Harmon followed with a RBI.

Terry Stafford is in his third season as the head women's volleyball coach. Challenges are nothing unusual for Stafford, who built premiere high school programs at Golden Sierra, Bear River and Granite Bay. He led all three high schools to Sac-Joaquin section championships and was voted Coach of the Year by the Sacramento Bee in 1993 and 1999. In two years as head coach at WJU, he has transformed the Lady Warriors to a conference championship contender.
After 12 wins in the previous four years, Coach Stafford led the Lady Warriors to a 15-9 record in 2009. The Lady Warriors finished conference in a tie for second place with a 9-3 record. For his efforts, he earned the 2009 California Pacific Conference Coach of the Year Award. The Lady Warriors had five players selected for All-Conference Honors.
He has spent over three decades coaching high school girl's volleyball.
"Although I've really enjoyed coaching high school volleyball, I'm very excited about leading the WJU volleyball program," said Stafford, who lives in Auburn and is a faculty member at Granite Bay High. "With my faith and beliefs, a Christian setting like William Jessup is a comfortable fit for me not only as a coach but as an individual."

WVU Snaps Three-Game Skid
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The WVU baseball team ended a three-game losing skid with a 5-1 victory over Youngstown State on Wednesday evening at Hawley Field in front of 733 fans.
The win gives WVU a 2-1 advantage in the season series that will conclude at Youngstown State on April 24. The Mountaineers improved to 18-16 overall, while the Penguins drop to 9-23.
"We haven't lost at Hawley Field this year and the guys know that. When they take the field, they take it with a little more confidence because of that," coach Randy Mazey says. "I've been telling people for a long time that if you're a fan coming to watch the game, don't just come for entertainment purposes, come to help us win and that is what they did tonight."
Offensively, sophomore shortstop Taylor Munden was a single shy of the cycle with two runs and two RBIs, and junior third baseman Ryan Tuntland notched his sixth three-hit game of the season. As a team the Mountaineers finished with 12 hits, marking the 20th time this season they have recorded 10 or more hits.
Freshman righty Brock Dykxhoorn (2-0) earned his second consecutive win, lasting six innings and allowing one run on three hits. Junior right-handers Ryan Tezak, Corey Holmes and Pascal Paul each pitched in relief.
Munden put WVU on the board with his first career home run to left field to lead off the bottom of the first, giving WVU the early 1-0 lead.
A pair of doubles by Youngstown State's Drew Dosch and Neil Schroth tied the game at 1-1 in the top of the fourth. Dosch led off the inning with a double to right field, while he was driven in with a two out double by Schroth to left center.
Munden scored his second run of the game in the bottom of the fifth after leading the inning off with a triple to left field. Munden was driven in on a ground out to shortstop by sophomore center fielder Bobby Boyd, giving WVU the 2-1 edge.
Junior Matt Frazer extended the lead to 4-1 with a two-run bases loaded pinch hit single through the left side in the bottom of the seventh.
Munden's double came in the bottom of the eighth as he laced the ball down the left field line, plating sophomore second baseman Billy Fleming to bring the score to 5-1.
YSU starter Russ Harless gave up two runs on seven hits in six innings to take the loss. Kevin Hix led the Penguins with two hits.
WVU completes the busy week with a three-game non-conference series at Liberty from April 12-14. Game one is set to begin at 7 p.m. on Friday, game two will begin at 4 p.m. on Saturday and game three is set for 2 p.m. on Sunday. All three games will be broadcast live on ESPN3.com, while links to live stats are available on WVUsports.com.

7. Limit exposure to radiation: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which comes from the sun, sunlamps or commercial tanning beds, is the primary cause of skin cancer, the most common of all cancers.
8. Protect against infection: Infections caused by viruses are recognized as risk factors for several types of cancer. Human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted disease, is the most common cause of cervical cancer. Chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis C increase the risk of liver cancer. They are most often spread through contact with contaminated blood, from contaminated needles or by having unprotected sex. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS, also increases the risk of several types of cancer. It's most commonly transmitted by unprotected sex or sharing of needles.
9. Consider chemoprevention: Chemoprevention is the use of natural or synthetic compounds to reduce the risk of cancer or its recurrence. Tamoxifen, prescribed to prevent breast cancer in high-risk women, is the best known chemoprevention agent. A caution: chemoprevention drugs can have serious side effects.
10. Get recommended screening exams: Pap tests, mammograms, colonoscopies and other routine screenings can't prevent cancer. But screenings can help find cancers early, when treatment is most likely to be successful.

An oversized cartridge for people with over-sized needs
Sep 19, 2007
By J. Fujino "bookworm"
With 18mL it should print out about 750 pages. I have no idea if the numbers I had quoted to me, though, are right. The problem is the little bar that appears whenever you print something hasn't even gone down 25% and I've had this cartridge for almost two months. Its definitely a real wallet saver for me since I'm a student in college and the nearest store selling cartridges is as far away as the nearest cartridge world, which I personally love but haven't gotten to see a lot of recently. Both would've required bus commutes, but the 74XL (which is noticeably sticks out farther than the regular 74 and weighs a whole lot more) has not failed me yet. For now I would encourage anyone lucky enough to have a printer that works with an 18mL cartridge like this to get one. And anyone in the market for a new printer should seriously consider checking to make sure there's isn't only compatible with a dinky 5mL one that will get you around 200 pages before going poof.

Does not work!!!
Jan 16, 2012
By Joe "Piano Joe"
I have an HP Photosmart C4480 all-in-one printer. I've used it for years and have had absolutely no problem with ink cartridges - until now. With this "HP" 74xl from Vivamart I managed to coax one page through, but it took a couple of false starts and several pauses. After that one page, the printer stopped recognizing the cartridge all together. I put back a REAL HP cartridge and it worked perfectly. I'm surprised HP allows their logo to be used in the picture on Amazon, and if they don't allow it, I'm surprised Amazon is allowing it! If you want to try it, be prepared for the hassle of a return.
Apparently it's not possible to give no stars, so I had to give one. The product doesn't deserve it.
Update: In an effort to read other reviews on this item, I tried, but failed, to find one sold by Vivamart, the Amazon vendor from which I purchased mine. It appears you can order what looks like an HP product, but may actually be from any number of non-HP vendors. If this is true, the reviews could be from many different products, rendering them useless. I would like Amazon to explain this. I'm loath to order this type of item from Amazon now.
BTW: The cartridge itself is labeled "Remanufactured Inkjet Cartridge". It does not include "HP", but only "74xl". In case I wasn't clear above, my intention was to buy a new HP cartridge, and the Amazon page gave no indication that it was anything otherwise.

quantity and price - a win!
Nov 25, 2008
By CLG "Carrie Herbel Greenwald"
As I mentioned for the HP 75XL inkjet cartridge is the same for this one (black ink only) - get the larger size AND HP brand inks for better quality and to allow for quantity printing. The smaller cartridges just don't cut it in terms of the number of pages it can print before running out. And save by buying it through Amazon, unless you can find a local retailer with better savings - I sure couldn't and am glad I checked with Amazon right away.

no "retail packaging"
Feb 02, 2010
By R. Adams
I purposely paid a couple dollars extra to get a "retail packaged" cartridge in a box as shown in the photo for this item. I received a cartridge in plastic pouch with no box. It was mailed in a bubble wrap envelope. The cartridge works OK, and my printer recognized it as a genuine HP cartridge.

Bulk value
Mar 18, 2008
By Lowell Day
It's worth purchasing the XL version of the HP 74 print cartridge, rather than the standard size. It's three times the size of the standard one, and doesn't cost three times as much.
Also, you can often find package deals including the color (75) XL cartridge and the black XL cartridge for around $60. Buying individual regular size cartridges just isn't a wise idea, considering they often cost around $30. (why buy two regulars for $60 when you can buy two XL's for the same price?)
Just make sure to buy a NEW cartridge, not a remanufactured one. Choose a seller with a high rating and low prices. I purchased a package deal recently through ANTOnline, and was amazed with how fast it came (using only regular shipping).

I just updated to the later version of Pagelines & Wordpress 3.7.1 and it screwed up my website. In particular the Features panel now repeats down the page and after hours of working to resolve this my only solution is to turn off Features (which I've done on the Home Page but not the other pages).
Additionally, my Fixed NavBar no longer shows the Sub Pages on my site to navigate to. I have also been working on this with no success. This is the second time upgrading to your newest version has created more work and hassles than providing any additional solutions.

Use of an aperture in the reconstructed beam in reconstruction of multiple holograms increases selectivity beyond that realizable by spatial multiplexing so as to permit differentiation of overlapping images. "Aperturization" is suitably used for differentiation in the y-direction in shift holography, depending on Bragg selection in the x-direction.
1. Process for shift holography comprising reconstruction of individual holograms contained in an array of partially overlapping individual holograms recorded in a medium, in which the array comprises rows of overlapping holograms defined as lying in the x-direction with rows arrayed in the y-direction, the process comprising illumination with a readout beam which is successively positioned, by movement of the beam and the medium relative to each other in order to locate each individual hologram, thereby producing a successively positioned reconstructed image beam, the readout beam and the reconstructed image beam defining a "readout plane",
the readout beam has a y-component of direction, in that an aperture approximating the beam size in the y-direction in the medium is interposed in the reconstructed beam, whereby selectivity in the y-direction is increased.
2. Process of claim 1 in which a major component of the line of intersection of the readout plane with the medium lies in the x-direction.
3. Process of claim 2 in which x-direction selection depends on Bragg selectivity.
4. Process of claim 3 in which the aperture approximates the beam size in the y-direction.
5. Process of claim 1 in which the aperture is on an optical plane.
6. Process of claim 5 in which the optical plane is an image plane, and in which the holograms are Fourier transforms.
7. Process of claim 1 in which the size and shape of the aperture approximates that of the beam in both x- and y-directions, so that selection of individual holograms is by aperture selection in both x- and y-directions.
8. Process of claim 7 in which the thickness of the medium ≦100 μm.
9. Process of claim 5 in which the optical plane is a Fourier plane, and in which the holograms are images.
10. Process for replication of a holographic array of partially overlapping holograms
holograms within the array are reconstructed by the process of claim 8 and in that the array is replicated by a procedure selected from the group consisting of stamping, embossing, and procedures used in photography.
11. Process of claim 1 in which the array is circular and comprises multiple concentric circular rows with holograms overlapping both within rows and from row to row.
12. Process of claim 1 in which the array comprises segments, each segment including multiple holograms, the process providing for access to selected segments of the array.
13. Process of claim 12 in which access to a selected segment is in accordance with access information for the selected segment.

Holography has had great allure since its inception in 1948. The concept, image recording and reconstruction by interference with a reference beam, has, from the start, provoked interest in artistic circles. Its very large storage capacity soon led to contemplated use for digital data storage. Both were given impetus by the introduction of the laser, which would serve as a practical high-intensity monochromatic light source.
The desire to maximize capacity soon led to multiplexing. A number of means were available for differentiating between successive holograms recorded within the medium. Angle multiplexing differentiates on the basis of different angles of incidence for the reference beam. See, D. L. Staebler, et al., "Multiple storage and erasure of fixed holograms in Fe-doped LiNbO3 ", Appl. Phys. Lett., vol. 26, no. 4, p. 183, (1975). Alternatively, differentiation between multiplexed holograms may be based on wavelength. See, G. A. Rakuljic and V. Leyva, OPTICS LETTS., vol. 17, no. 20, p. 1471, (1992).
In "peristrophic multiplexing", the medium is rotated about the axis defined by the intersection of the beams to permit angular differentiation of successive holograms within the same volume, with packing density depending on signal bandwidth. See, Optics Letters, vol. 19, no. 13, pp. 993,994, July 1994. In another process, "fractal sampling" grids permit multiplexing again within the same volume. Here, holograms are stored in the degenerate direction with angular spacing dependent on signal bandwidth. See, J. Appl. Phys., vol. 65, no. 6, pp. 2191-2194, March 1989.
Instead of using the same medium volume, "Spatial multiplexing" records successive holograms in different regions of the medium. Density is limited by hologram size and the need to avoid significant overlapping.
"Volume holography" uses a thick recording medium. The thickness dimension is essential for translating angle change, as well as wavelength change, into Bragg selectivity. A. P. Yakimovich, in Opt Spectrosc. (USSR) vol. 47, no. 5, November 1979, at pp. 530-535, describes use of a spherical reference beam, in lieu of the usual plane wave, and calculates Bragg selectivity. Implications in differentiating overlapping images are clear.
"Shift holography", was described by A. Pu, et al. at a talk given at the 1995 OSA Conference on Optical Computing, see conference proceedings--Technical Digest Series, vol. 10, pp. 219-221. It provides for high density packing of successive holograms in an x-y array. Overlapping holograms produced by shifting the medium in the "x-direction"--in the grating direction--are differentiated by first-order Bragg selectivity. By slanting the grating so that it lies on a plane oblique to the medium, second order Bragg selectivity may serve for selection in the y-direction. Reported densities are excellent, but required a thick (8 mm) recording medium.
Advances in the recording medium have not kept pace. Results reported by Pu, et al. used a free-standing crystal. Cost and manufacture expedience would profit by substitution of a supported organic material layer. To date, acceptable layered media have had a thickness of only one hundred or a few hundred μm. It will be some time before layered media of desired 8 mm and greater thickness are available. Further, work directed toward development of practical thick media has concentrated on organic polymeric material. These materials have a tendency to shrink during the recording step. While shrinkage is impeded in the plane of the medium by the adherent support, it is significant in the thickness dimension. This is a particular problem for z-direction second order Bragg selectivity for the reason that gratings produced by interference with different signal locations will have varying slant angles, with consequent non-uniform x-components. See Optical Engin. vol. 32, no. 8, pps. 1839-1847 (1993).
"Aperture selectivity", in the reconstructed beam, serves to differentiate overlapping holograms where Bragg selectivity is inadequate. As used in shift holography, aperturization supplants Bragg for y-direction differentiation, in which Bragg selectivity is degenerate or inadequate. For thin recording media, in which Bragg selectivity is limited by thickness, aperture selectivity may entirely replace Bragg selectivity.
Illustratively, a single aperture is used. Optimally, it is placed on a Fourier plane for image holography or on an image plane for Fourier holography. Of size and shape of the reconstructed beam in the dimension/s to be aperturized, selectivity in that direction is increased by an order of magnitude over that of spatial multiplexing.
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view of apparatus suitable for practice of the invention.
FIG. 2 shows the diffracted intensity of a single hologram without aperturization.
FIG. 3 shows the diffracted intensity of a single hologram using a single optimum aperture.
To the extent possible, terminology used in description of prior art shift holography is used in description of the improved procedure. In shift prior art holography, the incoming signal and reference beams define the "plane of incidence" which is orthogonal to the recording medium. After recording a first hologram, the medium is shifted, relative to the beams, in stepwise fashion, along a scan direction which is defined by the line of intersection of the plane of incidence with the medium surface. After a series of overlapping holograms have been recorded, the medium is stepped in the direction normal to the scan direction within the plane of the medium, following which the procedure is repeated. The scan direction is referred to as the "x-direction": the step direction, as the "y-direction".
In prior art shift holography, y-direction selection is based on the comparatively weak second order effect. Poor selectivity in y is compensated by use of a thick recording medium. In reported work, the medium was a free-standing crystal with reference and signal beams introduced through orthogonal crystal surface. A published diagram suggests substitution of a plane-surfaced, layered medium, and as with the bulk crystal, continues to depend on an oblique grating (on a z-direction component in the grating).
It is convenient to describe the invention as a modification of shift holography. In principle, only one modification is required. An aperture restricts reconstructed beam size so as to limit the detected reconstructed image. If the reference beam has no y-component--if it is not spherical, but composed of an in-plane cylindrical wave or of multiple plane waves--y-component must be introduced. Experimentally, a constricting aperture in the incoming reference beam has been found adequate.
The general thesis is that Bragg selectivity in the y-direction is insufficient--that relatively-small second order Bragg selectivity for contemplated medium thicknesses is not usable. Contemplated structures depend on aperturization in the y-direction rather than on Bragg selectivity. In these terms, no purpose is served by deviating from the prototypical structure: a) plane of incidence orthogonal to the medium; and b) bisection of the x-z plane component angle defined between the reference beam and the signal beam at the medium by a line normal to the medium (θ is divided into two equal half angles). Accordingly, discussion assumes that the plane of incidence is orthogonal to the medium--i.e. that the relatively-small second order Bragg selectivity is inadequate. The assumption is certainly valid for thin media--for media of 2 mm or less in thickness. The magnitude of second order Bragg selectivity is small also for thicker media using expected geometries. Experimentally, better noise performance has been obtained for equal half angles--in which the reference and signal beams have the same angle of incidence measured from the direction orthogonal to the medium surface--thereby minimizing the z-contribution required for second order Bragg selectivity.
Description is largely in terms of a rectilinear array (with overlapping holograms in both x- and y-directions--with overlapping rows of overlapping holograms). Apparatus provides for linear step-wise movement of the planar recording medium relative to the beams for recording a first row of holograms, followed by stepping to the next row position, etc. Other arrangements providing relative movement of medium and hologram position are possible, e.g. by rotation with circular rows of differing radii.
Early use is expected to be as an adjunct to prior art shift holography, in which Bragg selectivity continues to be the basis for differentiation in the shift direction. X-direction is discussed as coincident with shift direction--"tilt shift holography" of co-filed U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/435,706 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,703,705, while certainly suitable for use with aperturization, is ignored in the body of this description. Design considerations are identical for x-direction (with or without tilt).
The function of the aperture is to restrict passage to only the beam required for the desired reconstruction. Ideally, for an on-plane hologram, the aperture is on an optical plane and is precisely of the shape and size of the reconstructed signal beam. For Fourier transform holograms, an image plane filter gives maximum improvement in packing density. For image holography, an apertured filter on the Fourier plane gives best results. Where Bragg selection is the operative mechanism in the x-direction, the x-dimension of the aperture is of no significance from the standpoint of the invention. In principle, it may be a slit of indeterminate length, although with constriction in that direction, it blocks unwanted light.
The FIG. 1 apparatus was used for developing the criteria of aperturization. A spherical reference beam was used in the specific Examples. It had sufficient divergence angle of incidence in the recording medium 13 to introduce y-component and enable aperture-filtering in the y-direction. In other experimental work, using reference beams lying entirely in the plane of incidence (and still ignoring shift direction outside of the plane of incidence of the co-filed application), y-component was introduced by a constraining aperture 30 (schematically showing beam constriction and accompanying edge diffraction in phantom).
A reference beam with momentum in the y-direction (with a y-component of direction) was produced by spherical lens 10. Lens focus 12 was at a distance, d, from recording medium 13, producing reference beam spot 14 in the medium. Spot size was of area sufficient to cover the signal beam spot. The signal beam 15 was produced by illumination of spatial light modulator 26. The modulator allowed tailoring of individual holograms for experimental purposes. A Fourier transform of transparency 26 was produced in spot 14 by lens series 17, 18, 19, all in 4F configuration (17-26 and 19-14 spacings equal to focal distance, 17-18 and 18-19 spacings equal to the sum of focal distances of the lens pairs). Readout was by 4F-configured lenses 20, 21 and 22, to result in a reconstructed image on detector 23.
Aperturization depends on use of a filter for restricting the size of the 25 reconstructed beam--in this instance as appearing on detector 23. This may be accomplished empirically with respect to size/shape as well as position. Optimum results with but a single aperture--aperture 29--which can be at the Fourier plane or image plane (respectively, for image holography and Fourier transform holography). As so placed, aperture size need only conform with the transform/image dimension in the relevant direction. As elsewhere in this description, the term "aperture" does not necessarily connote a discrete apertured plate--the equivalent constriction may be implicit in or combined with an additional element. As an example, the detector e.g., CCD detector 23 may be of small size designed for this purpose.
Equipment variations, some of which were used in reported experimental work follow conventional practice. Elimination of a lens in each of the series 17-19 and 20-22, with the remaining lenses arranged in 4F configuration, substitutes image recording and continues to produce a reconstructed image on the detector. A filter 25 consisting of an apertured mask at the Fourier plane permitted passage of only the Oth diffraction order. A random phase diffuser, placed either following spatial light modulator 26 or at image plane 27 in the signal beam may be used to smear out the Fourier transform and to improve recording fidelity. Other lens arrangements, both for image recording and for Fourier recording, are well known.
X-Direction Selectivity
The claimed process continues to depend on Bragg selectivity in the shift direction. Its value is considered for shift-direction and x-direction coinciding and for a normal plane of incidence. Using a reference beam made up of a finite number of plane waves, all in the plane of incidence, Bragg selectivity is restricted to x-direction. (The complicating consideration of second order Bragg selectivity is ignored, so that the reference beam and signal beam make the same angle with respect to a line perpendicular to the medium. The simplification is justified where the medium is too thin for adequate second order Bragg selectivity e.g., under conditions used in the Examples, for thickness ≦500 μm.) Overlapping hologram rows are not effectively differentiated in the y-direction. A cylindrical beam is equivalent to a beam constituted of an infinite number of plane waves, and continues to lack y-selectivity. For purposes of this description, x-direction selectivity is essentially unchanged. Bragg selectivity for a spherical reference beam, as used in the specific examples, is approximately defined by: ##EQU1## in which all quantities relate to the reference beam and are defined as: λ=wavelength outside of the recording medium (approximated as the vacuum wavelength)
d=distance from the focus to the recording medium
L=thickness of the recording medium
θ=full angle between the reference and signal beams as measured at the surface of the medium
NA=the numerical aperture of the lens.
Example 1
The recording medium was x-cut 2 mm thick Fe-doped LiNbO3. With the lens arrangements of FIG. 1, the recorded hologram was a Fourier transform. Referring to Eq. 1:
λ=514 nm
L=2 mm
d˜4 mm
lens 20--F/2.0, 200 mm focal length
lens 10--F/2.83, 80 mm focal length
Spatial light modulator 26 consisted of 640�480 pixels. The signal beam was filtered at the Fourier plane by filter 25 to pass only the 0th diffraction order. There was no aperturing in the reconstructed beam. X-direction selectivity was about 4 μm.
Y-direction selection depended on spatial multiplexing, equal to the recorded spot size of about 3 mm.
FIG. 2 shows diffracted intensity for a single hologram recorded in Example 1, and is representative for holograms made without aperturization (still on the assumption that second order Bragg selection is inconsequential). Intensity is plotted according to position in x- and y-directions, in units of μm, with the origin (x=0, y=0) showing the position in which the hologram is recorded. The full width at half maximum in the x-direction is approximately 4 μm. There is no selectivity in the y-direction.
Improved Y-Direction Selectivity Using Aperture Selection
In Example 1 it was necessary to shift the medium (relative to the beams) sufficiently to step by a distance equal to the spot size in the y-direction (to "spatially multiplex"). The invention teaches blocking of undesired reconstructions by aperturing. For the spherical wave reference beam, and for Fourier transform holography, this is accomplished by an image plane filter. For an optimal filter of the same size and shape as the signal beam at the image plane, y-selectivity is approximately defined by: ##EQU2## in which p=image size in the y-direction
F2 =the focal length of lens 20 (the lens following the recording medium in the reconstructed beam)
d=the distance of the reference beam focus from the recording medium.
Example 2
Example 1 was repeated, however, with an apertured filter on the image plane. The aperture, slit-shaped with a slit-width of 1 cm, matched the y-dimension, p, of the approximately rectangular image. X-selectivity was unchanged at about 4 μm. Y-selectivity was about 200 μm. Thus, by filtering out the reconstruction (by aperturization), an order of magnitude improvement in y-selectivity was achieved.
FIG. 3 shows the measured diffraction efficiency with aperturing. X-direction selectivity is retained at about 3.9 μm at half maximum. Y-direction selectivity is now about 200 μm which is consistent with results calculated from Eq. 2.
Example 3
The conditions of Example 1 were used for recording an array of holograms. Eleven rows each of 100 overlapping holograms each, were spaced by δx≅35 μm. Row-to-row spacing was by δy≅250 μm. X-spacing was at the ninth null to minimize noise which would result with minimal x-spacing. Y-spacing was adequate to assure avoidance of unwanted reconstruction. Aperturing increased packing density by about an order of magnitude.
Under most conditions, using thick recording media, Bragg selectivity is the operative selection mechanism in the x-direction. For thin media--for media ≦100 μm under the conditions of the Examples--a beam-conforming on-plane aperture may offer some improvement. This embodiment may be quite significant unless and until thick media of appropriate uniformity become available. Under this circumstance, x-direction aperture-selectivity is of a value in accordance with Eq. 2 (with p being x-direction image size).
Many contemplated uses require making copies of the holographic array "master". This problem has been addressed for non-multiplexed holograms. Handbook of Optical Holography, Academic Press 1979, at pp. 373-377, describes a variety of techniques. One method, "copying by reconstruction", first reconstructs the image and thereafter records a new hologram. The method is applicable to thick as well as thin holograms, and has been used for multiplexed holograms as well. For multiplexed holograms, with usual single illumination source, it is necessary to reconstruct and copy "one at a time". The limitation is overcome with multiple, mutually-incoherent sources. See Optics Letters, vol. 17, no. 9, pp. 676-678, 1992.
Copying by reconstruction is usefully employed in the present work. The multiplexing step, independent of the individual hologram replication step, now follows the new procedure--medium and/or beams are stepped between sequential recordings.
The procedural variation in which aperturization is used in both x- and y-directions--"x-y aperture multiplexing"--offers a unique opportunity. Here, since selection does not depend on Bragg selectivity, there is no requirement for a thick medium. The, in consequence, permitted 2D array may be replicated in its entirety in a single step (or series of steps). Stamping and embossing, previously used for non-multiplexed 2D relief-phase holograms, becomes feasible. This form of hologram, in which the information is in the form of topological variations on a single free surface, is amenable to aperture shift multiplexing. Since replication is independent of formation of the master, an initial holographic film image may be converted to a surface hologram during this step.
A 2D hologram array, produced by x-y aperture multiplexing, may be replicated by any of the procedures used for non-holographic image reproduction. These include procedures used in photography. Generally, holographic processing using media analogous to photographic media, entails the additional step of bleaching. Holography Handbook, Ross Books, Berkeley, Calif., pp. 56,57, 1993. Bleaching is regarded as converting an amplitude image into a phase image--e.g., the developed film image, constituted of elemental silver particles in a matrix, is rendered colorless leaving an index variation as the only record of its presence. A form of multiplex replication may be carried out using an unconverted--unbleached master, and introducing the final bleaching step following recording of the multiplexed amplitude holograms.
There is a further possibility offered in replication of 2D arrays. Since all relevant information--now including that necessary for selection as well as for reconstruction--is independent of thickness, replication does not critically depend on wavelength. The entire array or a portion may be reproduced using a wavelength which matches the actinic properties of the new medium. Ordinarily, this leads to use of a wavelength shorter than that used during mastering and reconstruction.
The advance offers significant service opportunities. The holographic array, now in the possession of a user, may be selectively accessed for pay. An analogous prior art practice uses CD ROMs in which partitioned contents each containing prescribed software or data, with access to specific parts granted by corresponding access codes. See, CD-ROM Librarian, vol 7, no. 4, pp. 16-21, April 1992. Under certain circumstances, the array may be maintained on a local user site, with access to its entirety granted as part of an initial sale, by use fee or subscription.
In most uses, hologram/multiplex recording serves only for initial supply. The methods are suitable for such "read only" applications. Other uses are served by "write once"--as in creation of a lasting database. Facility for "read-write" is advanced in embodiments operating with 2D media.
The practitioner may choose to follow the explicit conditions discussed. Aperturing is optimal as described, with an on-plane aperture conforming in shape and size with the signal beam. Where image holography is used, approximately the same advantage in selectivity is obtained with a conforming aperture. Off-plane aperturing, while useful, will not give the same selectivity (for on-plane holograms)--selectivity may be improved by one or more additional apertures. Optimal conditions for off-plane holography have not been determined--may be determined empirically.
As with prior art shift holography, movement of beams with respect to the medium or movement of both beams and medium, may be equivalent to movement of the medium. Reference to "relative" movement is intended to encompass all such variations.
While description has been in terms of relative movement of the recording medium and the beams, specific apparatus discussion has largely been for a mechanically-moved medium. For many contemplated uses, use of a stationary medium and moving beams may be useful--may permit more rapid access. Such beam steering may reproduce the conditions for a stationary beam and moving medium. The facility may expedite alternatives to simple linear stepping.
A. P. Yakimovich, in Opt Spectrosc. (USSR) vol. 47, no. 5, November 1979, pp. 530-533. presents a model for z-direction selectivity for a spherical reference beam and a thick medium. In experiment, it has been possible to multiplex in the z-direction based on this mechanism, although to date packing densities have been only in the single digits. While inadequate for replacing x- and y-multiplexing, it may be used in combination with the inventive procedures.
The methods are applicable to non-planar media--to cylinders and other geometric forms. For 2D arrays produced in x-y aperturing, it may be advantageous to use flexible media in mastering and/or replication. The 2D nature of the array permits recording on spooled film and tape.
The multiplexing method of the invention is not specific to this particular form, so that recording may be based on reflection holography, may image the signal on the medium, or may record the hologram on a plane intermediate the Fourier and image planes of the signal.
Relative Motion
Prior art shift holography depends upon the concept whereby successive holograms are recorded to be partially overlapping. Generally, major portions of succeeding holograms occupy the same volume, with the portions occupying fresh volume defined by "shift". The identical concept plays a role at least in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In order for this to occur in recording, it is necessary that position of incidence of the beams in the vicinity of the interference region be moved relative to the medium--during reconstruction, the analogous relative motion entails the single reconstruted beam, so that the position of incidence is now determined by the position of the hologram to be accessed.
Relative motion may be produced by movement of the medium, or by movement of the beams. Alternative to movement of the entire beam (by movement of source and all optical elements), the latter may take the form of a variety of forms of "beam steering", in which only a part of the optical train associated with the relevant beam is changed--by physical motion, by introduction of an additional element, etc. The terminology "moving the medium and the beams relative to each other" in appended claims is intended to include all such variations.

• provide funding to boost collection and distribution of farm products, particularly to underserved communities;
• offer new funding for promotion of not only farmers' markets but other fresh-food distribution programs; and
• devise programs and establish grants to improve farm profitability and sustainability — and increase the consumption and affordability of fruits and vegetables in low-income communities.
Teresa Whalen of Warrensburg, who has been working for several years to connect Adirondack residents and schools with local farmers and their products, said she was excited about the various initiatives contained in the farm bill.
"This bill has a lot of merit — it's wonderful," she said minutes after she talked with Gillibrand about Adirondack farm sustainability initiatives and praised the Senator for her endorsement of the Local Farms bill.
This new measure helps alleviate problems now threatening the survival of small farms, said Whalen, who is affiliated with Adirondack Harvest, based in Essex County. Also, Whalen is promoting the Workplace CSA Farm Share Program, which is operated by Juniper Hill Farm of Wadhams.
Farm programs and federal school lunch mandates have to date favored massive farming operations at the expense of local farmers, Whalen added.
"This bill has provisions to encourage beneficial farm-to-school initiatives," she "Allowing schools access to federal funding for purchasing local products is a tremendous plus, as it supports the local economy and gets healthy locally-grown foods into our schools."
Justine Denison, a farmer from Schaghticoke who raises produce for a large CSA network, sells directly at various farmers markets plus wholesales vegetables to grocers, said she was happy about the provisions in the new bill.
"I'm excited and grateful," she said. "We really appreciate how the legislators respect what we do."
Whalen said that more needs to be done to aid the smallest farm operations, which now face hefty insurance costs and permitting fees. She noted that an enterprise she was involved in, Adirondack Farm-to-Pantry Initiative, had difficulties last year obtaining adequate liability insurance.
Smaller dairy farms are suffering the most, she said, noting that many in upstate rural New York have gone bankrupt.
"It's very difficult now for farmers to make a decent living," she said. "I'd like to see measures like this go a lot further in the future."
Among Whalen's suggestions were that health insurers, who now offer cash incentives to their clients for signing up for gym memberships, extend similar payouts to clients participating in workplace CSAs which deliver nutritious local produce.

N.D. darkhouse spearing activity sets record during 2011-12 seasonAccording to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, more than 1,800 people registered to spear this past winter, and the estimated harvest was 10,191 northern pike. That's by far the highest number of participants and the most pike speared since Game and Fish offered its first darkhouse spearing season in 2001-'02.
By: Brad Dokken, Grand Forks Herald
Lack of snowfall, easy access and abundant pike populations combined to produce a record winter for darkhouse spearing across North Dakota.
According to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, more than 1,800 people registered to spear this past winter, and the estimated harvest was 10,191 northern pike. That's by far the highest number of participants and the most pike speared since Game and Fish offered its first darkhouse spearing season in 2001-'02.
The previous high was 2002-'03, when more than 1,600 registered spearing enthusiasts took 7,343 pike. Game and Fish estimates the harvest based on a mail-in survey sent to a random sample of people who register to spear.
Registration is required, and the season is limited to northern pike and rough fish.
"It was a very good year and perhaps not unexpected," said Greg Power, fisheries chief for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department in Bismarck. "You had a number of things going for you: One, over time, we've opened up more and more waters to spearing, and then we had just an incredibly open season, really perfect for darkhouse spearfishing. And the biggest thing, of the 50 or so lakes that were open, most of them had record or near-record pike populations. It was kind of the perfect storm."
Pike populations are thriving across much of North Dakota after several wet years that flooded grassy areas and created ideal spawning habitat. The wet cycle also resulted in several lakes that previously were little more than sloughs but now are booming pike fisheries.
Because of the bountiful pike numbers, Game and Fish this coming winter is expanding the list of waters open to spearing from about 50 to basically every lake except a handful with muskie populations.
"If we have another winter like this last one, there should be lots of opportunity next year," Power said. "The pike will be there."
He said the extent of this year's pike-spearing take isn't cause for concern.
"For sure, the hook-and-line take was a whole lot more than darkhouse spearfishing," Power said. "Of the new lakes that will be open, there will be some phenomenal opportunities. They are very good pike fisheries, and a lot of them could use some thinning out."
A few other highlights from this past winter's spearing season:
- The average participant was 45.8 years old, and 89 percent were males.
- The top six lakes — Darling, Sakakawea, Silver, Buffalo Lodge, Diamond and Morrison — accounted for slightly more than half of the harvest.
- For the first time since the inaugural season, Devils Lake was not among the top five spearing lakes; it still was in the top 10.
- Only 2.1 percent of survey respondents said they speared a pike of 20 pounds or larger, down from records of 7 percent during the winters of 2005-'06 and 2006-'07.
Fishing notes
- While pike populations are booming in many parts of the state, Power said the department this week began its annual spring campaign to stock pike in lakes that don't have good natural production.
- "Catching" remains excellent for anglers fishing the Missouri River in Bismarck, but the size of the walleyes is decreasing as larger fish move downstream into Lake Oahe. Power, the fisheries chief, said he and another angler landed 35 to 40 walleyes Tuesday night fishing near Bismarck. "I bet you there wasn't more than two that were in the 16- to 20-inch range," he said. "I suspect you'll hear Oahe in the next week to 10 days will be its normal, very good self."
- Devils Lake contributed 80 quarts of walleye eggs for state stocking programs this spring, with most of the 400-quart quota coming from Parshall Bay on Lake Sakakawea. "Parshall Bay has become our real bread-and-butter spot" for collecting walleye eggs, Power said. "It's pretty amazing how many nice fish are in Parshall Bay."
- The egg take on Devils Lake is dependent on flows from Channel A, which attracts prespawn walleyes, and flows that are too high or too low affect the run. Randy Hiltner, northeastern district fisheries supervisor for Game and Fish in Devils Lake, said the flow this spring on Channel A was about 50 cubic feet per second — a mere fraction of the 1,000 cfs recorded during the spring of 2011.
