Advocates say bus underride guards could save lives
Democrat and Chronicle
Written by Justin Murphy Staff writer
Nov. 04
When a Brighton High School student driving three friends plowed into the back of a school bus Oct. 9, there was nothing to stop his car until it sat mangled underneath the bus' rear bumper.
What if there had been?
Traffic safety advocates say the underride guards that are mandated on semi-trailers would also save lives on buses, including school buses like the one involved in the Brighton crash.
The idea and technology are simple: a metal bar sits beneath the high rear bumper of a bus. A car crashing in from behind will be stopped when its front end hits the bar rather than getting lodged under the bus.
"Car structures are supposed to absorb energy in a way to protect people inside – the front end collapses in controlled way if you have an impact," said Matthew Brumbelow, senior research engineer at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which advocates for wider use of underride guards. "If you run into something higher off the ground, like a large truck or a bus, you're bypassing all that structure that's been built and you end up (crashing with) the windshield area. That creates a much more dangerous situation for the people in the car."
Daniel Blower, an associate research scientist who studies traffic safety at the University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute, said he believes underride guards on school buses would save lives.
"On school buses, it's not a common thing, and there's tremendous opportunity for underride given how high the bumper is," he said. "In my view this is a safety issue that should be addressed."
There are no good statistics on how many people are hurt or killed when a car underrides a school bus from behind. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there are about 26,000 accidents involving a school bus each year.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's data show about 400 people killed every year when vehicles strike the back of buses and trailers, but there is no more specific number for underride accidents.
"It's a question we'd like to know the answer to better than we do," Brumbelow said.
In Brighton, the car driven by 16-year-old John Zakhary was lodged so far underneath the bus it required several hours to extricate.
The Brighton Police Department reconstructed the event, but Chief Mark Henderson did not respond to requests for comment on what difference an underride guard might have made.
Zakhary was issued a number of traffic citations for the accident. One of the passengers, Scott Collins, remains in guarded condition and has only recently begun breathing on his own.
Another question is who could effect the change. The current requirement for underride guards on semi-trailers was put in place by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, part of the federal Department of Transportation.
A change in bus specifications would likely require a federal mandate rather than leaving it up to manufacturers or bus operators, Blower said.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration declined to comment for this story. First Student, the company that operates Brighton schools' buses, and the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services, a school transportation organization, did not respond to phone messages.
The latter organization does address the issue of underride guards on its web site. It uses the same figure of 400 rear-impact fatalities involving large vehicles and extrapolates that mandated use of underride guards would only save one or two lives a year at most.
It also points out that the underride guard could scrape against the ground when a bus is driving on a steep angle.
Brumbelow and Blower agreed the marginal benefit would be less than with semi-trailers but still argued the cost — perhaps several hundred dollars per vehicle — would be worthwhile.
"The incremental cost I can't imagine would be that much," Blower said. "They're not sophisticated structures. It's just designed to be a big old hunk of metal that you run into."

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A relaxing inn that's been family-run for three generations
The Beachmere Inn is a private, secluded inn that offers simple, clean rooms and dedicates itself to personalized service. The scene here is a relaxed one, as most visitors are content to enjoy the scenery with a stroll along the ocean on the Marginal Way or to read a good book on a private balcony. There is a pub within the inn, Bawdy Sally's , for light bites and evening cocktails. The inn is a short walk from Ogunquit, for visitors looking for a local dining, nightlife, and shopping scene. The Beachmere Inn offers a family-friendly environment, and every year, there are generations of families that plan an annual trip to the inn, often staying in the same room year after year. Many famous people have been attracted to the peaceful atmosphere as well, including Richard Nixon, Rachael Ray, and Bette Davis.
Sweeping views of Ogunquit Beach
The Beachmere Inn offers spectacular views from a cliff top overlooking Ogunquit Beach and is also close to downtown. Ogunquit is known for great shopping, theater, and restaurants (and for being Maine's top LGBT destination), and is only a short walk from the hotel. The Marginal Way cliff walk begins right outside the hotel, and stretches along the shoreline for about a mile and a half.
The Beachmere Inn is located in a secluded and private area of the Maine coast. While other parts of Maine are easily accessible by public transportation, including buses and trains, most visitors prefer a car for exploring this part of the state. The Beachmere Inn can be a great launching point for visiting nearby towns including York -- known for its famed Cape Neddick Lighthouse -- or Dock Square, home to cute shops and galleries. Excellent shopping is also nearby in Kittery Hall, home to several outlet stores.
City life isn't too far away in Portland, Maine. Located north of the Beachmere Inn, Portland offers a range of shopping, sightseeing, and dining options. Top attractions include the historic Old Port district along the harbor and the Arts District along Congress Street. Portland attracts food lovers for its developing restaurant scene while nature lovers are drawn to the several historic parks in the city.
Simple, classic rooms, spread across six buildings
Rooms vary greatly at the Beachmere Inn, for size, space, views, and amenities. The charming Victorian building has some of the best views , as do the luxury suites in Beachmere West. All rooms are decorated similarly with blonde wood furnishings and simple decor. While not luxurious, rooms are clean, comfortable, and cozy. Extra amenities available in some rooms include fireplaces , kitchenettes , spacious balconies , and flat-screen TVs . All rooms offer free Wi-Fi.
The Bullfrog Cottage stands out from the rest -- and not in a good way. It is set off property, does not offer ocean views, and has dated decor, kitchenettes, and bathrooms.
A relaxing spa, casual pub, and equipped fitness room
The Beachmere Inn offers many features that make it an especially appealing pick on the Maine coast. In addition to ocean views and the Ogunquit Beach, the inn also offers a fitness room , spa with two treatment rooms, Jacuzzi , sauna , and kids' play room . A oceanside trail called the Marginal Way begins right outside the inn and stretches for a mile and a half along the ocean. Free Wi-Fi and free continental breakfast in Bawdy Sally's Pub are also on offer.
A waterfront property near Ogunquit, Maine, the Beachmere Inn is a family-run resort with simple, classic rooms spread through several buildings . The location is ideal, with views overlooking the ocean and coastal cliffs. Rooms here vary widely, and guests can choose between ocean-view suites with fireplaces and balconies or simpler options for those sticking to a budget. Beyond the location and views , perks here include a spa with two treatment rooms, a Jacuzzi , sauna , fitness room , and a kids' play room . The Beachmere Inn offers free Wi-Fi and signature cocktails at Bawdy Sally's pub , but some guests complain of loud wedding parties in the summer and some rooms -- specifically in the Bullfrog Cottage -- are in need of renovation.

New courthouse in Rockville creates a 'death ray' effect, burning people, plants
It might be December, but a developing problem in Rockville is scorching hot.
The new, $53 million, state-of-the-art district courthouse in Rockville is nearly complete and will be the largest one in Maryland
And residents are talking about the design of the new, 160,000-square-foot courthouse in Montgomery County.
But not because it's so unique or beautiful. They're talking because it's creating a "death ray" effect and burning people and plants nearby.
Pedestrians are painfully noticing that the sun is reflecting off a cluster of windows on the six-story building and nearly burning anyone on the other side of the street who stands in one place for too long.
A few days ago a member of the construction crew alerted the state to this issue.
A spokesperson for the Maryland Department of General Services admits that the concave shape of the building — with windows facing to the south — has created a problem that needs to be fixed as soon as possible.
In the attached video, ABC7's Jay Korff has more, including the reactions of pedestrians who have been cooked by the rays.

I am trying to make GST work properly with out 800x480 LCD nowadays. My environment is below;
DM355 EVM with custom daughter board for LCD
MVL 5.0.0 toolchain
Although everything is working fine with composite output. I could not� decide how to modify the gstreamer to make it work with the LCD.� Does anybody using DM355 with LCD for playing AVI files?
What I have seen in the� streamer_ti/ti_build/ticodecplugin/src/gsttidmaivideosink.c LCD output type only supported for OMAP3530.
#if defined(Platform_omap3530) else if (!strcmp(sink->videoOutput, "DVI")) return Display_Output_DVI; else if (!strcmp(sink->videoOutput, "LCD")) return Display_Output_LCD; #endif
Is it because of a hardware restriction of davinci platform or just because of LCD resolutions are not supported well inside the kernel? I mean, if I modfy the kernel frame buffer driver to return correct values to GST, is it possible to have some AVI files on my LCD?
Thank you in advance for your comments.

We typically test everything on EVM hardware and this EVM does not come with any daugther card for LCD. Since you have done all the driver work, hence it will be very easy to get LCD up and running using gstreamer.�
You mainly need to modify a bit in DMAI display module and then a minor modification in dmaivideosink. See something similar on this thread:

Anyone have experience using an amber teething necklace with their baby? Do they work? Are they considered safe? I have seen them on babies pictured here on MDC but never IRL and I am sure I'd get a lot of comments if I put one on my baby.
Subbing. I never used one with my son, and I'm thinking about it for the next kiddo.
Jessica married to the love of my life
Momma to: Levi (09/06), Junior (09/05) , Teagann (11/10) and two furbabies Nugget and Boo TTC our next bundle of love
DS2 has one. We've used it from about the age of 5 months on. He just turned one and is just now getting teeth # 4 and 5.
Do they work? That all depends on who you ask. Some people say they didn't notice a difference when their LO wore one. Some people swear by them. For us, I am in the camp that I *think* it works, but obviously have no proof. He tends to have more cranky days without it than with it. He also tends to sleep better on nights he is wearing it than on nights when I forget to put it back on after a bath. I would not go so far as to say it eliminates all teething pain. There have been a few times when he was obviously miserable from teething pain and I resorted to ibuprofen. I look at it as one tool in an arsenal against teething pain...along with teething tablets, teething toys, and occasional pain relievers.
Are they considered safe? I think that also depends on who you talk to. It is beads on a string around the neck of a baby. Obviously you will need to pay attention that it isn't too tight, that it isn't too loose, that your baby isn't chewing on it, that it is in good working order. The recommendation is that they be taken off any time the babe is sleeping. Some people take them and wrap them around their LO's ankle for nap and nighttime sleep. Some just take them off completely. I leave DS2's on all the time, except during baths. I feel that as with most things, it is up to the user to make sure it is being used in a safe manner. We co-sleep, so I don't have to worry about it getting caught on a crib or the like while my babe is alone. He's never alone.
As a side note, DS really loves his necklace. It is sort of his lovie in a way. He actually holds it between his fingers and fiddles with it as he is drifting off to sleep. When I have forgotten to put it on, he reaches for it, looks at me like "Um, Mom, where are my beads?"
Personally, we've gotten a TON of comments on it. Some positive, some not. Relatives from Louisiana have commented on pictures of him on FB with things like "Cute pic. But why is HE wearing a necklace?" *Emphasis on "he" since of course boys aren't *supposed* to wear necklaces.
Most people in person will say "Oh look at his beads. They are so beautiful. What are they?" Then I explain that it is amber and why it is used for pain relief. Most people are confused as to why it isn't long enough for him to chew on it if it is a "teething" necklace. Once I explain that part, people usually have a positive response.
I'd recommend you measure his neck first. :) I bought one online, thought was getting a good deal. It's too small! I have a large, chubby baby and I'm not sure if I got them from a wrong source (an amber jewelry outlet) or just that my baby is fat, lol.
Anyhow, I'd make sure to measure with that soft sewing tape to make sure you know what you're getting.
Since it doesn't fit my lo, I can't say if it works or not.
SAHM to one moody son J (06-27-03), one super-girly daughter M (02-23-06) and welcome Sophie! (05-23-10) expecting fourth in July
I got one for DD when she was 9 months old but have not noticed any difference. She has 8 teeth and I think 2 more working their way out. I only take it off for baths but a couple times have forgotten to put it back on for a few hours.
Even though it doesn't seem to have an effect, I leave it on because it looks so cute and I keep hoping it will help her sleep, lol
DD wears one all the time. The first day that I put it on her was the first time she ever slept through the night! I don't know if it works, or if it just makes me feel better for doing whatever I can to help with her teeth. She's had cysts for several of her teeth, and I just wanted to make sure that I was trying EVERYTHING possible to ease her pain. The one we have has a safety clasp, meaning that it would break very easily should it ever get caught. She's worn it 24/7 for over a year. I'll be getting one for our next child too!
Subscribing, I've been considering whether to get one or not.
DS has worn one since he was 3 months. He's 5 months now and has his first tooth, which was hell coming in. We had to give him Tylenol for a couple days there it was so bad. So I really can't say if the necklace works, but it would appear not. Maybe it would've been even worse without it...??? Honestly, I got it because I think they're cute, and if it helps with his teething pain then I see that as a bonus.
We are in Germany and here more babies wear them than in the States I think. In fact at many kids stores and health food stores they have them (often near the register as an impulse item, lol). I've had to explain it to a few people, but I see them on lots of babies and toddlers so it's not all that unusual here. I think the whole amber teething necklace tradition comes from Europe so I guess that's why more people wear them here.
As for safety, the one I got has each bead individually knotted -most have this feature and it means if it breaks you won't have loads of tiny beads around. But the best safety feature of ours is a magnetic closure. They even tested how much pressure is needed to open it and determined a 6+ month baby could pull that with its head if need be, so I feel it's safe. Plus, it's easy to put on and take off. I take it off at night, even though we cosleep. Now that I think about it, for his next tooth I think I may leave it on at night, as that's when a lot of pain happens. The magnetic closure makes it much safer, and I would recommend getting one with that feature.
In case any of you are in Europe, here's the one we have: http://aber-natuerlich.de/bernsteinkette-baby-kinder-p-119.html?osCsid=eaefeb8cc649140257c42ae75e7f5f86

Elsa's had one since just after her first tooth came in, at about four months. She had a hard time of it with that first one, and I got her necklace right away. Her next one came in without me noticing, and the next four came in pairs and she had like one crabby day before they came through. The latest one came in again without me noticing anything off. So I think it's worked for her. She's worn it pretty much constantly since we got it, except for baths. I used to take it off for bed, but now I leave it on since we sleep together.
Ours is individually knotted and has a breakaway clasp. I know it works since she's pulled it off twice, and all that happens is that if she pulls hard, it unclasps, and I just put it back on. I swear by ours. We get some comments, but always positive. Usually it's "Oh, what a cute necklace!" or "Oh, you have some bling!" Sometimes I explain what it's for, and funny enough, my mother-in-law is very into telling people about it.

i'm thinking about getting one with the next baby.... but not 100 % sure about them either
I've had one for each of my two younger children, and recommend them to everyone. With my now toddler, I noticed a difference right away. With the baby, I didn't see as obvious a difference until he'd been wearing it for a while, and then I took it off, and it was left off for a few days. He was SO cranky, and I couldn't understand why. Within about 12 hours of putting it back on, he was back to his happy, easygoing little self.
I personally leave it on all the time, except during baths. They say that soaps and such can wash away the oils that give the pain relief, so we avoid them. Besides that, they wear them all the time-sleep, playtime, etc. My son has tried to put it into his mouth a few times, and I just remove it, and tuck it back under his shirt...which it needs to be anyway. It can't work if it doesn't contact their skin.
Like everything else, you just need to be a vigilant parent. Yes, it has small bead, and yes, it could potentially cause a choking hazard. The kind I get have the beads individually strung, so even if it were to break, at the most, only 1 or 2 beads would be loose-and I honestly think the beads on the baby's particular necklace are small enough that even if he swallowed one, it wouldn't choke him.
I have bought mine from www.momsmilkboutique.com, and they seem to have the best prices I have found, and free shipping. I figure for less than $20, even if they work a little it's worth it, and they're cute too!
jamie. crinkly (not quite crunchy) mama to 3 amazing little girls, an awesome little boy, and a baby girl making her debut at the end of this summer.
Just wanted to update:
I've been leaving DS's necklace on 24/7 lately as he's teething, and I noticed two days ago that his second tooth had come in...without any drama! The first one (when he was wearing the necklace only during the day) had a few rough nights, but the second one we didn't even notice til it'd broken through. So, maybe, just maybe, the amber helped!!!

The U.S. Government has certain rights in this invention pursuant to Contract No. DE-AC03-76SF00098 between the United States Department of Energy and the University of California for the operation of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
The invention relates to a light deflection technique for deflecting light in a desired direction by tilting a reflecting mirror in the direction of x-axis or y-axis of a plane according to the application of an electric signal. Specific scan patterns can be generated by maneuvering the reflecting mirror through a desired range of angles in two dimensions.
The ability to scan laser beams by way of reflection from a tiltable mirror serves many purposes in optics. The most general of tilt scanners provide two-dimensional angle scanning from a single reflective surface and are fully programmable. In the visible-light regime, this is typically achieved by using a piezo tilt stage. Piezo tilters, however, have rather a small angle scanning range and require expensive high-voltage drive electronics.
For example, a tilting mirror arrangement used for scanning is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,708,420 to Liddiard. For this device, a scanning mirror is connected via flexible joints to piezoceramic drive elements that are arranged parallel to the mirror surface. This scanning device is complex and the scanning mirror arrangement is very large so that the piezoceramic drive elements can tilt the mirror through a large angle. This results from the small deflection of the piezoceramic drive elements, which is proportional to the length of these elements. This arrangement is thus not suited to tilt small mirrors through a large angular range when the drive mechanism behind the tilting mirror is to be limited to the dimensions of the mirror surface.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,383,763 to Hutchings et al. describes a tilting mirror apparatus in which the mirror is mounted on a tilting point and is moved by piezoelectric ceramics. Here also, the dimensions of the mirror have to be very large if the tilting mirror is to be tilted through at least 1 degree.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,660,941 to Hattori et al describes a tilting mirror in which the movement of the tilting mirror is effected by piezoelectric elements which act on the mirror via levers. This arrangement is also not suitable for tilting a small mirror through at least 1 degree.
A piezoelectric beam reflector is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,170,277 to Bard in which the mirror member is directly attached to the piezoelectric element. This device has the disadvantage that the mirror has no defined pivot point when pivoting. Finally, U.S. Pat. No. 4,691,212 to Solcz et al. describes a piezoelectric beam reflector that is used in a scanning arrangement. The disadvantage of this apparatus is that a given deflection angle cannot be rigidly maintained when the pivot point is to remain stationary. As is apparent, the art is in need of a compact tiltable mirror that has a large scanning angle range.
In a related area, extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is an emerging technology in the microelectronics industry. It is one of the leading candidates for the fabrication of devices with feature sizes of 70 nm and smaller. Synchrotron radiation facilities provide a convenient source of EUV radiation for the development of this technology. Though not under serious consideration for high-volume commercial fabrication applications, synchrotron sources play an extremely important role in the development of EUV lithography technology. Being readily available, highly reliable, and efficient producers of EUV radiation, synchrotron radiation sources are well suited to the development of EUV lithography. These sources are currently used for a variety of at-wavelength EUV metrologies such as reflectometry, interferometry and scatterometry.
In the case of synchrotron radiation sources, there are three types of sources: bending magnets, wigglers, and undulators. In bending magnet sources, the electrons are deflected by a bending magnet and photon radiation is emitted. Wiggler sources comprise a so-called wiggler for the deflection of the electron or of an electron beam. The wiggler includes a multiple number of alternating poled pairs of magnets arranged in a series. When an electron passes through a wiggler, the electron is subjected to a periodic, vertical magnetic field; the electron oscillates correspondingly in the horizontal plane. Wigglers are further characterized by the fact that no coherency effects occur. The synchrotron radiation produced by a wiggler is similar to that of a bending magnet and radiates in a horizontal steradian. In contrast to the bending magnet, it has a flow that is reinforced by the number of poles of the wiggler.
Finally, in the case of undulator sources, the electrons in the undulator are subjected to a magnetic field with shorter periods and a smaller magnetic field of the deflection pole than in the case of the wiggler, so that interference effects of synchrotron radiation occur. Due to the interference effects, the synchrotron radiation has a discontinuous spectrum and radiates both horizontally and vertically in a small steradian element, i.e., the radiation is strongly directed.
In lithographic applications, the partial coherence of the illumination (sigma) is often defined as the ratio of the illumination angular range to the numerical aperture of the imaging (projection optical) system. The illumination angular range is also referred to as the divergence of the source. Undulator radiation is much like a laser source in that it produces highly-coherent light of very low divergence. A typical EUV undulator beamline produces a sigma of less than 0.1 whereas lithographic applications nominally require a sigma of 0.5 or higher. Although less coherent than undulator radiation, bending magnet radiation is also typically too coherent to be directly used for lithography.
As EUV lithography technology matures, more lithographic printing stations will be required for resist and process development. Proliferation of these systems has been slowed by the lack of reliable and cost-effective EUV sources. It would be greatly desirable to alleviate the dearth of EUV sources for lithographic process development applications in the form of small-field static microsteppers through the use synchrotron radiation. The relatively high coherence of these sources, however, has precluded them from being used more extensively for actual lithography studies. Relevant process development applications require much more incoherence than is inherently provided by synchrotron sources. This is especially true of undulator sources that otherwise would be highly desirable for their large EUV power capabilities.
A new coherence controlling illuminator that is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,798,494 to Naulleau addressed some of these problems. This illuminator allows the effective coherence of a synchrotron beamline to be tailored to photolithography applications by using an angular scanning element and a stationary low-cost spherical mirror to re-image the scanning mirror to the reticle plane of the lithographic optic. One significant advantage of this illumination system is that it enables the generation of arbitrary divergence patterns by way of controlling the particular scan configuration. This is of great importance for lithographic process development systems as it enables a single illumination system and source to model a wide variety of divergence patterns that might be generated by the variety of commercial sources and illuminators under development. Hence one process development tool would enable a large number commercial-style tools to be simulated in terms of illumination divergence characteristics greatly increasing the utility of the process development tool.
By design the Naulleau illuminator enables in si tu arbitrary control of the illumination coherence properties (or pupil fill), however, achieving arbitrary and switchable control of the pupil fill requires specialized electronics. In early implementations of the scanning illuminator, conventional function generators were used to generate the scan signals but this made it very difficult to change illumination properties and to achieve complicated fill patterns. What is needed are fully in situ programmable and rapidly switchable drive electronics meeting the requirements of a lithographic process development tool.
The present invention is based in part on the development of a magnetic-coil driven tiltable stage which can be made extremely compact and vacuum compatible thereby allowing it to be readily used in the vacuum ultraviolet and extreme ultraviolet regimes as well as the visible-light regime. Moreover, thick-substrate-glass mirrors, which serve as ideal substrates for high efficiency reflective coatings, can be incorporated into the stage to operate as scanners. Such coatings are crucial for near-normal-incidence EUV applications. The drive electronics for the scanner is fully in situ programmable and rapidly switchable.
In one aspect, the invention is directed to a mirror mounted tilt stage that includes: (a) a base unit, (b) a frame having a mirror mounted thereon wherein the mirror has a reflective surface, (c) a single pivot member having a distal end that is attached to the base unit and a proximal end that pivotally supports the frame such that the frame can pivot in two directions, (d) at least one actuator for tilting the frame; and (e) means for driving the actuators to move the reflective surface through a desired range of angles in two nonparallel, preferably orthogonal, planes.
In another aspect, the invention is directed to method for producing a reflected light scan pattern that includes the steps of: (a) providing a mirror mounted tilt stage as described above, (b) directing a beam of light into the reflective surface, (c) moving the reflective surface through a range of angles in two nonparallel planes to scan the beam through a set of angles to create the scan pattern on a target plane such as the entrance pupil of an illumination optics.
As shown in
As shown in
The mirror mounted tilt stage further includes a mechanism for tilting the mirror in a desired direction and to a desired extent about the support point. As shown in
The poles of the permanent magnets are preferably arranged so that the north and south poles of one assembly are oppositely arranged relative to those positioned on the opposite side of the stage. As shown in
In another aspect of the present invention, the two-axes tilt scanner employs an electronic drive system that is preferably completely programmable. In one embodiment, the drive system comprises a two-channel system that employs three FLASH programmable microprocessors which are commercially available from Microchip Technology, Inc. (Chandler, Ariz.). One microprocessor is used for each of the three modular functional blocks as shown in
The first modular block (the function block) provides for the basic scan function such, for example, as a circle, stripe, or ellipse. This is achieved through two drive channels, one for each scan axis. Each drive channel can be programmed to put out arbitrary 8-bit resolution analog voltages using conventional microprocessor programming techniques in combination with the DACs. The repeat-rate of this basic pattern is also programmable and controlled by the function block. For example, to generate a basic circle, channel A of the function block would be programmed to put out a sine wave and channel B of the function block would be programmed to put out a sine wave 90 degrees out of phase with channel A. The function waveforms can be defined with up to 8000 data points.
The function block, as illustrated in the circuit diagram in
The second block (the gain block) provides for amplitude control of the function block output. This enables time variable gain control of the basic function. As with the function block, the gain block allows for the 8-bit resolution control of the gain and timing control of the gain modulation. The output of this modular block is an analog waveform that is produced from the waveform generated by the function block multiplied by the time varying value generated by the microprocessor of the gain block. For example, to generate a solid disk from the circle function described above, the gain function could be programmed to change after each circle cycle ranging from a gain of zero to a gain appropriate for the desired disk size.
The gain block, as illustrated in the circuit diagram in
The third block (the offset block) provides for a DC offset value to be added to the function/gain signal produced by the first two blocks. This allows the pattern to be placed statically at any place within the angular range of the tilt mirror. Again, the offset block allows for the 8-bit resolution control of the DC offset and timing control of the offset modulation. This enables the amplitude-modulated function described above to be replicated at various positions over time. For example, to produce a bipolar scan pattern comprising two disk patterns that are offset spatially from each other, the offset block could be programmed to switch between two voltages with the switch rate set to match the time it takes to scan out the full disk described above. The voltage difference between the two voltages is set to produce the desired spatial separation of the disk-shape scan patterns.
The offset block, as illustrated in the circuit diagram in
A summing stage that sums the output (Function*Gain) from the gain module with the offset signal to produce a signal equal to (function*gain)+offset. The summing stage comprises op amp IC16, input resistors R21-R22, and feedback resistor R26, connected in an inverting summing amplifier configuration for channel A, and identically connected IC16B, R23-R24, and R25, for channel B.
The outputs from the DC offset module is coupled to the input of the power op amps that provides the modulated drive current to the scan coils on the tilt stage. The power op amps serves to provide a high impedance input for the offset module to drive. An example of the scan pattern that can be produced with the invention along with the scan characteristic controlled by each module is shown in
To generate the disk geometry indicated by the two circular patterns in
Complete reprogramming of the system can be achieved in approximately 1 minute. If more rapid switching is desired, the system described above can be replicated and a computer controlled analog multiplexer can be used to select the desired output. This is illustrated in the block diagram in
Even more generally the computer controlled analog multiplexer/demultiplexer could choose from one of the available function blocks, one of the available gain blocks, and one of the available offset blocks, greatly increasing the instantly available scan options by allowing the rapid selection of one permutation out of all possible permutations. This is illustrated in the block diagram in
A vacuum-compatible 2-dimensional tilt stage similar to that shown in
The tilt stage was equipped with four rare-earth permanent magnets that were attached on the backside of the aluminum mount. The four magnets and their associated coils and current sources operated as two push pull pairs. One pair controls x tilt and the other pair controls y tilt. Scanning was achieved by running current through the coils so that as current passed through one coil pair, one coil pulled on the magnet above it and the opposite coil pushed the magnet above it. The system is designed to operate somewhat below mechanical resonance, and a scanning frequency of approximately 85 Hz have been achieved.
The inventive tilt stage is particularly suited for EUV lithography applications wherein a beam of EUV radiation, which can be coherent or non-coherent, is scanned through a set of angles to create scan patterns at the entrance pupil of an illumination optics. Suitable lithographic optics are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,226,346, 6,072,852, and 6,033,079 each to Hudyma and U.S. Pat. No. 6,188,513 to Hudyma et. al. which are all incorporated herein by reference.
Although only preferred embodiments of the invention are specifically disclosed and described above, it will be appreciated that many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings and within the purview of the appended claims without departing from the spirit and intended scope of the invention.

Susquehanna Theatre Professor to Address Portrayals of Black Females
Published on February 18, 2013
Susquehanna University Assistant Professor of Theatre Karen Gilmer will present a lecture, "Black Venus: The Black Body Onstage," Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. in the Charles B. Degenstein Campus Center meeting rooms 4 and 5. Sponsored by Susquehanna's Medical Humanities Initiative, the event is free and open to the public.
Gilmer's lecture will examine past examples of black female objectification in the theatre, as well as influences within contemporary culture. "This problem is rampant in our society. Music videos, TV, movies and popular culture all exploit the black female body in some way," Gilmer said.
Gilmer's presentation will address the 1996 play "Venus" by Suzan-Lori Parks, about Saartjie Baartman, a South African woman who was caged and exhibited throughout Europe in the early 19th century; and the life of Josephine Baker, the African-American entertainer who took Paris by storm in the early 20th century.
Edward Slavishak, associate professor of history and co-coordinator of the Medical Humanities Initiative, said, "The audience will learn how to gauge the influence of popular performers on public perceptions of race and gender, and it might teach us something about the modern emphasis on physicality as the root of identity."
Gilmer holds an M.F.A. in theatre with an emphasis in costume design from Boston University. Her numerous theatre, opera and dance credits include productions at the Pittsburgh Playwright's Theatre, Philadelphia Shakespeare Festival, Walnut Street Theatre, Everyman Theatre Company of Baltimore, Boston's Midsummer Opera, Alliance Theatre in Atlanta and Maine's Monadnock Music Festival. In 2009 Gilmer won the African American Council of the Arts Award for best costume design, for August Wilson's "Seven Guitars."
Gilmer serves as costume and makeup designer for Susquehanna's theatre department productions. She also serves as the costume shop manager, mentors student costume designers working on their own productions, and supervises costume and makeup run crews. Her research interests include costume and fashion history, fabric modification, millinery, and mask design and construction.
The goal of medical humanities is to explore how humanities disciplines illuminate the nature and practice of medicine; it includes art and medicine, bioethics, the history of medicine, literature and medicine, music and medicine, medicine in the performing arts, philosophy, psychology, theology, and medical anthropology and sociology.

How can he talk about 10 wins throwing the ball 50 times a game? Any good team runs the ball and mixes up plays. Once Reggie returned I knew it would be all Reggie all the time!! How can you not run Duece especially when you have been successful against Tampa was with production from the run game. They knew Payton is too stupid to play smash mouth with them so they rushed four, sometimes five and got more pressure than we did or could with six or seven. All I can say is he is looking like Haslett all over again.
If you don't like the decisions that are made fine, but this is a place for open discussion and frankly, some of the racist remarks are totally uncalled for. it's the reason New orleans is divided and is looked upon as a laughing stock by most "major cities". Instead of making it a white or black issue focus on the coruption that is rempant in the city and has no color. If we can get everyone's hand out of the cookie jar then maybe we could be a respectable city once again. And for the record it's going to take black and whites coming together not further dividing like in these articles.
Okay, we really need to make a push for Shepard!!!!! Come on Saints he is under contract for the next four years and all it would probably take is a second round pick. We shore up the CB position and we can get a weak side LB in the draft.
I agree patpending a weak side LB would be great. Plus, Bullocks was out of position all year!!! They shoud play Kevin K more ,not just in nickle packages. Another good pick up on the offensive side of the ball would be Braynt from Arizona as a no 2 wideout. Devery is not consistent and Robert Mechem looks to be a bust..

"My overall goal for my patients is for them to be fully informed about their personal health and to ensure they know they are in an environment where their overall well-being is the priority."
- Kristin Parris, MD
Dr. Kristin Parris long sought an environment where patients truly are the focus of the care delivered. She discovered it close to home at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) at Eastern Regional Medical Center in Philadelphia, the city where she's served patients for 20 years. In January 2011, Dr. Parris joined the hospital's integrated team of cancer care providers.
"The Mother Standard® of care at CTCA epitomizes how I believe healthcare should be delivered to everyone," says Dr. Parris. "I have always had an interest in oncology and CTCA provided an opportunity to return to a field that I have always found intellectually challenging, evolving and with no prejudice for who it afflicts."
Dr. Parris adds, "What I enjoy most about working at CTCA is the ability to spend time with people living with cancer. To be able to listen, educate and provide a window of hope is phenomenal. And to be able to use my internal medicine background to educate about non-cancer issues has also been rewarding."
As an intake physician, Dr. Parris works in concert with patients and oncologists to help facilitate the necessary testing and consultation to best equip patients and their care team to develop cancer treatment plans. She addresses medical issues patients may have, such as helping to manage elevated blood pressure or blood sugars acutely. As a hospitalist, Dr. Parris cares for medical needs of inpatients at the hospital.
Board certified in internal medicine, Dr. Parris earned a medical degree from Temple University in Philadelphia. She completed an internal medicine residency at Temple University Hospital. She holds a bachelor's degree in biology from Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania.
Previously, Dr. Parris served in a number of roles at Temple University Hospital, including as inpatient attending physician, preoperative clinic attending physician, associate professor of medicine and Director of Consultative Medicine.
Dr. Parris is a member of the American College of Physicians. She enjoys tennis, running, cooking, reading and "being a very loud parent cheerleader" at her daughter's field hockey games and tennis matches.
Dr. Parris believes hope is important for people battling cancer just as hope is a mainstay for anyone. She notes, "Hope builds confidence and keeps the glass half full. It gives one the positive mental energy to deal with difficulties that are presented. Hope provided by a professional treatment team gives hope to people living with cancer in that there are people who will not give up on them."

Re: Truth and Fiction.
The difference between a professional bitch like me, and basic bitches like the French clown above, who is a follower and a loser who makes absolutely zero impact whatsoever on this forum, is that when I don't like someone, I don't talk to them. I cut you off. I ignore you, because you're beneath me, I'm above you, and you're not worth me talking to. I don't get hung up on people. That's petty. That shows you're still butt hurt, you're still salty and emotional. Trying to rain on the parade of someone else, bring them down to feel better about ones' self. That's what happens when you lack self-respect, and when you lack anything in your life to hang your hat on. You have to drag others down to your level to make yourself feel important.
I don't do that. You know what they say, when you sleep with the dogs, you may just catch fleas? Best way to avoid that is by avoiding ALL dogs. Do that, both in RL and on this forum, everywhere, and you'll be in a significantly better position and much happier in life. Remove all negative bitches from your existence and don't give a single fuck about them.

We'll be seeing a lot more of Dame Judi Dench on our screens and in our newspapers over the next few weeks. She's been nominated for the seventh time for an Oscar, this time for her moving performance in Philomena, a film about her character's search for her long lost son, taken from her as a baby when she was forced to move into an Irish convent in Ireland during the 1960s.
Of course, this Oscar nomination is far from being the only accolade she has received, aside from the other six, of course. Last year, the manufacturers of coffee liqueur Bailey's asked 4,000 British women who they thought was Britain's most inspiring woman. Dame Judi Dench came first with Helen Mirren second.
So what is it that makes this very English actress so inspiring? She is, without doubt, a wonderful actress, always giving subtle, nuanced and entirely credible performances. Perhaps we love her too because she isn't especially glamorous or 'starry.' She seems normal and it is easy to imagine being able to chat to her if you were lucky enough to meet her. The same could never be said for many Hollywood types. And there is one in particular who certainly doesn't seem to love Dame Judi as much as we do. Actress Minnie Driver has let some rather catty remarks slip, calling her small, middle aged and round. Driver went on to add that Ms Dench would soon melt into the background if she spent any time in Hollywood. Vicious!
Judi Dench, who will be 80 at the end of this year, suffers from age related macular degeneration of the eye. This nasty disease can lead to blindness and is responsible for more than half of all registrations for partially sighted or blind people within the UK. AMD, as it is commonly known, currently affects, 600,000 people in Britain. Dame Judi has admitted that she can no longer read scripts but must ask for them to be read aloud to her. Fortunately for us, she has no plans to retire, saying she is able to wear contact lenses or spectacles that help considerably when she is in front of the camera. Bright lights also help.
If you want to see more of this inspirational older woman you can watch the Oscar ceremony on television when it is broadcast live from Hollywood on March 2nd. Rumour also has it that she will be playing the part of a rebel leader in the next Star Wars film which is due for release towards the end of next year.

If the EU passes this, I will have made my last trip to Europe.
Hasselblad should be informed by the Faustian myth: once you sell your soul, there's no getting it back. Doubly so, when the new CEO comes straight from the very same Mephistophelian realm that bought your soul in the first place!
I think this ad campaign is stupid and offensive.
Needs an articulated LCD.
Too late Nikon: because of the "dust" issue, I bought a 6D instead.
Charlene_S: I wish topaz Labs would take all their wonderful plug ins and create a stand alone application then I would say "bye- byeAdobe" or Corel cmon and make Paintshop Pro Mac compatible.
Topaz has that application. It is called photoFXLab.
"Adobe is clearly concerned about alienating existing users ... "
Huh? What? Where do you get that idea?
luxborealis: My initial reaction was "What a rip-off" $224 more for the tripod collar/mount - that make the total package over $1600. To compare it to the $2100 ƒ2.8 - the extra $400-500 is worth it.
If they were to just make the tripod collar included in the lens, economies of scale would drop the price well below $200. It tells you that in this case, Nikon is more about marketing and price points than photography. I know they are in competition with Canon, but really, this is petty.
HOWEVER - The lack of a collar is also a general comment on photography. Fewer photographers these days are willing to go the extra mile by using a tripod. By far, most who buy this lens will never use a tripod or monopod. Are VR and higher really that good that a tripod is no longer needed? For some work, yes. For most, photography is a weekend hobby that doesn't warrant the additional quality possible with a tripod - so why bother including a tripod collar when most won't really need it.
None of the Canon 70-200mm f/4.0 L zooms has ever included the tripod collar. That includes the first version (which did not have IS), introduced in 1999. The raison d'etre for these f/4.0 zooms is the same pro quality as the f/2.8 zooms but with a lot less weight & bulk. Photographers that do serious hiking and climbing really appreciate such a lens, especially because they often still need to carry a tripod.
Nikon has needed a zoom in this category for a very long time, and I, for one, am very glad to see it!
Just because Canon is struggling to make headway with mirrorless, doesn't mean the consumer is.
What version of ACR was used in this review, really? The RAW review page 13 says, "ACR - Adobe Camera Raw 6.7 Beta" was used - but I have that version installed (just double checked and I have the absolute latest) and it will not open the ORF files provided for download on the RAW pages of the review! Neither is it shown on the list of supported cameras. http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw6-7/
Is Beta 6.7 not the same as Release Candidate 6.7?
openskyline: Chuck is great, Dan Chung is not so great, I don't see the point of his questions!
It's called restraint.
This dog don't hunt.
If I wanted the ISO increased, I'd increase it myself.
NEWS FLASH FOR NIKON: if you are afraid of being your own best competition SOMEONE ELSE will be your best competition.

Adams doesn't look the worse for all the stress on a gray morning before a meeting of the Regional Arts Commission. Since he came on as executive director of SLSO in July, he's played the role of the stalwart banker, the no-nonsense manager with a plan to get this artistically beautiful yet fiscally dumb organization out of the red. It doesn't hurt that when Adams goes to corporate execs with his hand out he looks like them, though with more charm and swagger than most, possessing the casual good looks of James Garner (rather than James Brolin, to correct an observation made in this column previously).
The grimmest news Adams has had to give in the last few months is the immediate need for $29 million in stopgap funding -- $20 million to be raised in the form of pledges by Dec. 31, 2001, and the entire $29 million in hand by next spring. Otherwise, at the end of the orchestral season, Powell Hall's doors will be closed and liquidation will begin.
In September, Adams told the RFT that if the money was raised, it would "be a major positive event for this community. You didn't think we could raise $29 million. We did it."
A little more than two weeks before the end-of-the-year deadline, Adams reports to the RAC's board of the commissioners that $25 million has been received in pledges so far. They've done it.
Adams isn't exactly trumpeting the news, however. He drops the information so surreptitiously that more than a few in attendance give each other startled looks, as if to ask, "Did you hear what I just heard?"
SLSO has been keeping mum about the progress of the emergency fundraising. Just a week before Adams let the news out to RAC, SLSO's interim director of communications, Carter Dunkin, had little to tell the RFT officially, other than "The response has been very encouraging. We won't make an announcement until we have it all."
Expect a more exuberant announcement to be made soon, with all the holiday good cheer that came a year ago when the Taylor Challenge grant ($40 million from the Jack Taylor family) was announced.
There's more than Midwestern modesty to restrain Adams and SLSO from playing "Ode to Joy" down Grand Boulevard. The last time the herald angels sang was over the $40 million, and why not? It's the largest single philanthropic gift ever made to an orchestra. Then, in the summer, came the announcement that SLSO was near bankruptcy. The symphony's repeated plotline -- peril then triumph then peril again -- has been more tiresome than thrilling to the community at large. This is an orchestra, for God's sake, not a remake of Speed.
SLSO remains far from financial health, and, as Adams informs RAC's board of commissioners, the organization is "playing a fine line between fiscal responsibility and lessening the quality of the orchestra." Sure, St. Louis can still have an orchestra, but is it willing to pay for the great orchestra it has now, or would it just as soon have one that's not so hot?
That's been a debate within the organization itself, especially among the board of trustees, and it's been one the musicians have been waiting to hear resolved. In recent weeks, however, the board has displayed more ambition, making $150 million the new endowment goal, going well beyond the $100 million they sought previously. SLSO's ebullient concertmaster, David Halen, recognizes the change in tone. "The board took the right position," he says, "and it was good that they had the guts to say it."
The SLSO endowment stands at a meager $18 million after being bled from a high of $29 million to cover operating costs over the last few years. Other major orchestras, those St. Louis competes with for talent, have endowments of $100 million-plus. Adams puts it bluntly: "There are two kinds of symphonies: those with endowments and those without."
But between now and 2004, when the Taylor grant is to be matched, and 2010, when that $150 million endowment is to be raised, the orchestra remains in the Sandra Bullock role. The musicians are in negotiations with management, and they're being asked to reopen their collective-bargaining agreement. The 52 weeks of salary SLSO musicians have been paid each year since the '70s -- back when the effort began to make St. Louis home of one of the majors -- could be cut back by as much as 30 percent. "Randy Adams says 52 weeks is not chiseled in granite," says Adams at the RAC meeting, and how the musicians respond to the new executive director's use of the third person is crucial to the fate of the SLSO. They've accepted three salary freezes over the last decade and live at a pay level below that of their peers. Although with the musicians' average salary of $74,000, many in St. Louis shrug at their plight, consider that Mark McGwire couldn't hit his weight last summer and made $9 million. SLSO had a much better year, at least musically, and you never heard its members whine.

JERUSALEM (AP) - President Barack Obama is in Jordan for the final stop on his four-day visit to the Middle East.
Air Force One arrived in Jordan Friday afternoon after a quick flight from Israel. Obama will hold meetings with King Abdullah in the capital of Amman and visit the fabled ancient city of Petra.
The president's meetings in Jordan are expected to focus on the Syrian refugee crisis. More than 400,000 Syrians have crossed the border into neighboring Jordan to escape the civil war in their home country, crowding refugee camps and overwhelming aid agencies.
Obama will also seek to bolster Jordan's efforts to reform its government as it seeks to stave off an Arab Spring-style revolution. Jordan is an important U.S. ally in the Middle East.

American newspapers play into the hands of the lunatic fringe by calling Social Security and Medicare "entitlements," when they are funded by hard-working citizens through payroll deductions.
Journalists also unwittingly aid and abet neo-conservatives when they use the word "terrorism" in regard to acts of violent Palestinian resistance, without using the term in regard to acts of daily, systematic violence inflicted on completely innocent Palestinian women and children by Israel.
Sitting Bull, John Brown and Nelson Mandela were once accused of acts of terrorism by our government and media. But they were acting to defend women and children from wildly unjust suffering and death.
Informed readers can only hope and pray that our newspapers will stop favoring the oppressors over their victims or at the very least attempt to be more balanced.

Stats say Ravens can't be caught in third-and-long
Ravens turn their attention to Manning, Broncos
You know it's important for the Ravens to stay out of obvious passing situations on Saturday against the Broncos. But did you know just how important?
The Football Outsiders put the situation in numbers that point to how the Ravens' proclivity for giving up sacks and the Broncos' ability to pick them up create a potential perfect storm for Joe Flacco. This season, the Ravens have been worse than the league average in yielding sacks on third and fourth downs and 4 or more yards to go. Overall, offenses suffered sacks on 8.8 percent of such plays. But the Ravens gave up sacks 11.1 of the time. And the Broncos, led by the charge of pass rusher deluxe Von Miller, record sacks on 17.7 percent of the longer-yardage plays.
Speaking of Miller, the Broncos like to line him up on the left side, which puts him opposite Ravens right tackle Michael Oher. The Outsiders say the Ravens can't afford to ever leave Oher to handle Miller on his own, without either help from a chipping running back or tight end or a blocker to help double-team Miller. Statistically, Oher, who had been playing left tackle before Bryant McKinnie's return to the starting lineup on Sunday, had 12 blown blocks (counting sacks and holding calls), according to the Outsiders, which would have ranked in the bottom five last season. "Every time the Broncos are able to isolate Miller on Oher will be a win for Denver," the Outsiders wrote.
"If the Ravens want to protect Flacco, they'll need to open up their playbook and be unpredictable. If they wait until third down to pass, Flacco might not finish the game."
