Alamo Square group alleges that Recology overbilled as board delays landfill decision
The Department of Public Health has scheduled a May 13 hearing to review allegations that Recology subsidiary Sunset Scavenger overbilled for trash collection at a condominium building for years, resulting in $84,544 in excess charges, erroneously charged the building commercial rates, and is refusing to make a full refund. Recology counters that the building's managers oversubscribed, and the company gave a three-month refund as a show of good faith, but considers additional refunds punitive.
The hearing should interest the 21 percent of San Francisco residents who own units in condominium buildings. According to the Assessor-Recorder's Office, 42,478 of the city's 200,409 recorded parcels are now condominiums, with 3,192 registered as live/work, 38,300 as market rate, 980 as below-market rate, and 958 as commercial condo parcels as of fall 2010.
This struggle between ratepayers and Recology, which controls almost all aspects of the city's $275 million-a-year waste stream, seems emblematic of the problems that can arise when a monopoly is only partially regulated by local officials (the city does not have oversight of commercial collection rates) and then only in a labyrinthine process.
DPH's May 13 hearing comes three weeks after the Board's Budget and Finance Committee voted to wait until July before deciding whether to award the city's next landfill disposal contract to Recology. And it hits 18 months after the Department of the Environment, which derives half its budget from Recology's rates, first tentatively awarded the city's landfill contract to the San Francisco based garbage giant.
Since then critics have questioned how Recology got its monopoly, whether the arrangement benefits rate payers, and whether it makes environmental sense to haul the city's trash all the way to Yuba County, as Recology is proposing.
In February, the budget and legislative analyst recommended that the city replace existing trash collection and disposal laws with legislation that would require competitive bidding on all aspects of the city's waste collection, consolidation, and recycling system.
The analyst also recommended requiring that refuse collection rates for residential and commercial services be subject to board approval, noting that competitive bidding could result in reduced refuse collection rates (see "Garbage curveball," 02/8/11).
"The latest report says that the current system has been in existence since 1932 and let's put it out to competitive bid," said budget and legislative analyst Harvey Rose.
A 2002 report by Rose noted that the city has no regulatory authority over commercial refuse rates. "Instead, commercial rates are subject to agreements between the permitted and licensed refuse collectors and individual commercial producers of refuse, commercial tenants and building owners,)" the report stated.
Rose's report also found that commercial building owners often pay commercial refuse fees to Recology, so tenants don't know how much they are paying. "Normally, if tenants occupy such buildings for commercial purposes, the commercial refuse fees are passed on to the tenants as part of the overall rent and operating costs. As a result, it is likely that many commercial tenants do not know how much they are actually paying for commercial refuse collection," the report found.
It also noted that when the analysts attempted to complain about commercial refuse collection and commercial refuse rates ("for audit procedure purposes") and to inquire how to lodge a complaints with the city, there was "nobody to call."

Volume 67, 2012
pp. 385-415 | 10.1353/trd.2012.0009
When Margery Kempe imagines each member of the Trinity sitting within the chamber of her soul on a cushion of an appropriate color, she uses familiar household furnishings to develop a metaphor that helps explain a complex theological concept, while at the same time creating the sense that these ideas are as natural and easy to accept as the objects from which the metaphor is constructed. Similarly, in an Easter sermon preached in 1431, her contemporary Nicholas Philip, a Franciscan friar of the convent in King's Lynn (Margery's hometown), uses household furnishings to prepare his listeners to receive the Eucharist at Easter. The sermon is built on the metaphor of the body as the house to which Christ has been invited for a feast, and, like Kempe's Trinity image, this house has furnishings — a carpet, a tapestry, a cushion, a seat cover — and the feast itself involves a variety of dishes along with music and entertaining guests. The sermon develops a multifaceted image that becomes a complete sensory experience, focusing not on the meaning of transubstantiation but on the communicant's proper disposition. While Nicholas Philip's Easter sermon may be unusual in using this imagery to shape an entire sermon, many late medieval Easter sermons preached in England employ such domestic imagery to elucidate for their audiences the significance of the Eucharist, the reception of which, for most of the laity living in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, took place only on Easter. In a process that can be called the domestication of the divine, such metaphors render this annual reception less distant and abstract, making an event with supernatural implications as natural and familiar as a dinner party. However, the rhetorical purpose of this domestication is not primarily to encourage feelings of comfort and easy familiarity with the theological underpinnings of the sacrament, but to promote virtue and responsibility in the recipient both in preparation for and following this event. Nicholas Philip's Easter sermon thus testifies to a homiletic concern of many late medieval English preachers as well as to the artistic license a preacher might take to effect that concern.
Textual Tradition
In most Easter sermons that employ domestic imagery, the human body becomes the figurative domestic site that must be readied to receive its special guest. This metaphor is traditional and has biblical roots (e.g., the body as the temple of the Holy Spirit [1 Cor. 6:19]), but it is thoroughly updated by medieval preachers. In one Middle English Easter sermon, the body is not only presented as a house, but the communicant is also the carpenter who must actively build a house to receive Christ, beginning with a firm foundation, then the walls, and finally the roof. The foundation is faith, the walls are hope, and the roof is charity. This is a fairly simple analogy, effective in creating a picture of one's body as a recipient of a guest and aiding memory by fixing visualizable "places" in one's metaphorical house for the theological virtues, not only setting them in hierarchical relation to each other but rendering them into physical attributes one can feel in one's house-body. But while this is straightforward as a mnemonic device, it also subtly establishes one's individual responsibility as carpenter — one is not just the building passively being prepared but the builder doing the preparing. The implication is that receiving communion is not a passive activity intended to have some mystical effect on the communicant; it entails a reciprocal obligation or at least requires a virtuous disposition. The Augustinian canon John Mirk, who wrote his collection of homilies, The Festial, in Middle English as a preaching aid for parish priests, also uses this image in his Easter sermon as part of a larger exposition of the various names given to the feast of Easter. The first name he explains is Easter itself, which he connects (incorrectly) to the Middle English word "astur," meaning "hearth," because, he says, on Easter the hearth's fire is quenched and the hearth is "arayed wyth grene rusches and swete floures strawde alle aboute." This is done, Mirk continues, to give an example that...

SPRING HILL, Tenn. (AP) -- Two upcoming agricultural workshops are designed to help dairy farmers track costs and profits.
The events in June and July will guide milk producers in determining whether processing milk products on the farm makes sense for them.
The workshops by the Center for Profitable Agriculture are a collaboration of the University of Tennessee Extension and the Tennessee Farm Bureau Federation.
The materials covered are designed for cow milk products, but also apply to small goat and sheep dairies. Covered are fluid milk, yogurt and cheese production.
Registration for the Shelbyville event ends June 25 and Athens pre-registration ends July 3. The events are June 29 Shelbyville and July 10 in Athens. There is no charge for registration. It can be online at the link below.

Study says recreational anglers need more and better info
Staff Report
A little education could go a long way toward spurring more support for shark conservation among recreational anglers, said a team of scientists who recently questioned anglers on the subject.
The study, led by University of Miami scientists, showed that recreational anglers were more supportive of shark management and conservation if they had prior knowledge of shark conservation. Continue reading

[artist id="3746085″]Mindless Behavior[/artist] have been burning up teen girls' iPods with their catchy debut single, "My Girl," a track about a girl who texts her boyfriend constantly. It's a topic the up-and-coming boy band — Ray Ray, Princeton, Prodigy and Roc Royal — told MTV News they could relate to.
"Well, 'My Girl' is about, we're talking to each other, talking to our friends or whoever you hang out with, that our girls text us a lot," Ray Ray explained. "And everyone texts. We text, our parents text, the song could relate to everyone."
Ray Ray's bandmate Princeton added that the song not only appealed to them lyrically, but its funky, techno/R&B beat also won them over. "First, when we heard the beat it was just catchy and then our management team made the lyrics," he said. "So it went perfectly."
The four 13-year-olds are also stoked about the video for "My Girl," which serves not only as an intro to the new pop group, but also an eye-catching spectacle of smooth dance moves. "It was exciting. We were all happy. We had a lot of fun on the set," Ray Ray said.
Princeton noted that although the daylong shoot could have been grueling, it was in fact a good time.
"It was an all-day shoot. We started at 5 o'clock in the morning and ended at 10 o'clock at night, so it was fun. We saw the different outfits and the crew was amazing too," he recalled. "[The video] starts off with us walking out of a concert and girls are screaming. It's basically just us at a concert performing in different outfits and different scenes."

Will there really bipartisan cooperation on financial regulation? A Senate committee vote offers a glimpse of hope. The Senate Agriculture Committee today approved a sweeping bill regulating derivatives on an almost party-line vote. The "almost" qualifier is key. Sen. Chuck Grassley [R, IA] surprised many by breaking with his party to vote the bill out of committee. Granted, there is still a long, long way to go on this bill and Sen. Chris Dodd's [D, CT] broader regulation bill but this could be the first of many cracks in Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell's [R, KY] strategy of unanimous opposition. For more, check out today's Congress Links:
- The Washington Post looks at the financial regulation landscape and sees opportunities for the Democrats looking for Republican support. (The Washington Post)
- Sen. McConnell's claim that Democratic financial reform efforts constitute "endless taxpayer bailouts of Wall Street banks" is false. (PoliFact)
- When Sen. John McCain [R, AZ] willingly abandoned his "maverick" moniker, did Sen. Bob Corker [R, TN] pick it up? (Mother Jones)
- Huge surprise: as Congress took up financial regulation, major banks dramatically increased their spending on lobbying. (The Hill)
- People in both parties have advocated ending the filibuster. Ruth Marcus says "mend it, don't end it." (The Washington Post)

"permatoggle" object
I need an object that sends 1 (or a bang) when a given condition is satisfied but a 0 (or nothing) if the condition is ever violated and continues to send zero until it is reset by a different condition (even if the first condition is satisfied again). Isn't onebang supposed to do this? If so I am not using it right.
Here's a way of doing it with onebang.

Didnt even know that sel could have multiple arguments – very cool
Silly that there's no other way to do this tho.
There are actually other ways of doing it. What you're describing is an AND sort of process where the outcome is dependent on the state of two things. Here's how to do it using &&. (you could also change togedge to sel 1)

You'd think that there'd be an object that does this in one step, is all I'm saying. I've built a patch that seems to do a relatively simple thing (will post later on)but is IMO inordinately complex as it is. I'm starting to see the limits of trading flexibility for speed.
Whenever I hear a request for an object to do one specific thing I get suspicious. There isn't a word for every thought, sometimes you have to use sentences. Do you need to do this sort of thing very often?
Do you _really_ need the speed that a native object would give for this? An abstraction would get you the same clarity of intent as an external object would.
finding different solutions for it depending on the concrete situation is the way to go.
to find out if one of up to 8 conditions are met
[expr (condition 1) * (condition 2) * (condition 3) * (condition 4) * (condition 5)]
should be the most straightforward solution.
and if you make bigger projects, you will eventually need to analyze the state of
buttons or things like that which are all but linear and contain various serial and
paralell processes- then the use of a bunch of basic objects like &&, >, route and
gate can be the best way.
in jamessons problem from above, [gate] would be the first object i´d put in my patch.
Roman's multiplication idea is great – saves on complex && newroks
You can also use things like: vexpr $i1!=0 –> zl sum –> == (list length–use zl len)
if you want to evaluate whole lists of conditions.

St. George's School is a private, Episcopal and coeducational boarding school in Middletown, Rhode Island, USA, just north of the city of Newport. The school was founded in 1896 by the Rev. John Byron Diman, a member of a prominent Rhode Island family. It sits on a hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. It is a member of the Independent School League and one of five schools collectively termed St. Grottlesex.
|This section requires expansion. (January 2016)
In 2016 the school stated that sexual misconduct had previously occurred, dating from the 1970s, and perpetrated by employees and students.[2]
The Hilltop[edit]
The school's campus is familiarly known as "The Hilltop", as it is located on a prominent hill just east of Newport. Its oldest buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3]
- Memorial Schoolhouse – The main academic building in which most classes are held in subjects other than art, music and science.
- Old School – The oldest building on campus, Old School serves a variety of purposes. The first floor serves as the office of the Head of School, Eric Peterson, as well as many administrators and admissions counselors. To the East, the Main Common Room serves as a meeting space for any purpose. The Faculty Lounge and kitchen are attached to the Main Common Room. On the second and third floors are Old School (girls) and Red (boys) dorms.
- DuPont Science Building – Hosting all science classes, it houses laboratories for all physical sciences, and is close by to the observatory. It also has a larger hall used for presentations or examinations.
- Chapel – A classic Gothic chapel built in 1928 with John Nicholas Brown's donation and designed by Ralph Adams Cram, the whole school congregates in the Chapel for two services weekly, one of which is an Episcopal Church service. There are two additional optional services; a Friday night Compline service, and a Sunday Evening Prayer. In 2005, the Chapel organ was completely renovated, and the Chapel now also features a choral practice space and a new pipe organ. Once a week the chapel choir, consisting of nearly 80 students, sings.
- Hill Library – Contains more than 40,000 volumes and 75 periodicals.
- John Nicholas Brown '18 Center – Named in honor of the school's alumnus John Nicholas Brown '18, the Brown Center was dedicated in the spring of 2005. It houses the College Counseling Offices on the main level, deans' offices on the second floor (director of studies, dean of students, dean of faculty), and the bookstore, Geronimo office, mail room and summer school office on the lower level.
- Sixth-Form House – Originally used as the school gymnasium in 1903, it became a Schoolhouse in 1911. Dormitory rooms for school prefects were also once located in the building. Currently the business office, advancement office, and communications office are housed in Sixth-Form House.
- King Hall – The School's dining hall, it serves three meals daily
- William H. Drury and Richard Grosvenor Center for the Arts – home to St. George's 450-seat theatre, where drama productions, musical performances, and lectures are held. The building also features two drawing studios, painting studio, scenery shop (used by Stage Crew for the drama productions), ceramics and photography studios, two computer labs, black box theatre, exhibition gallery, and many soundproof practice rooms.
- Charles A. and Carol J. Hamblet Campus Center – Named in honor of the 10th headmaster and his wife, the Campus Center was dedicated in the fall of 2004. It includes a grille restaurant open during the off-hours of King Hall, a great room, a game room, and a meeting room.
- Dorrance Field House – Built in 1987, the Field House includes four indoor tennis courts, three basketball courts and a ninth of a mile indoor track.
- Hoopes Squash Center – The Joseph C. Hoopes Sr. Squash Center, housing eight international glass-backed courts, was completed in 1996. Using the German made ASB court system, it serves during the summer months as the home for Mark Talbott's Squash Academy, the official training center of the U.S. Squash Racquets Association, and served as the site for both the National Junior Squash Championships in 1996 and 1998 and the Men's Squash Softball Championships in February 1997.
- Stephen P. Cabot and Archer Harman Ice Center – The $4.5 million Stephen P. Cabot and Archer Harman Jr. Ice Center, completed in November 2000, features two ice hockey facilities. Originally built in 1954 as an outdoor rink and enclosed in 1968, the Cabot Memorial rink has new boards, a completely new surface (200' X 85') and a new roof.
- Norris D. Hoyt Pool – The Norris D. Hoyt Swimming Pool is an eight-lane pool with overflow gutters and a Colorado Timing System. Completed in the fall of 2004, the pool holds a large balcony seating area as well as many deck level glass viewing windows.
- Ted Hersey Track – The track is all-weather, completed in the fall of 1996. It is a six-lane, 400 meter oval, with an eight lane sprint chute along the east side. All St. George's field events are held on the inside, with the exception of the javelin throw. It includes the high jump area at the northern end of the oval, the discus throw area at the northwestern corner, the shotput throw area at the northeastern corner, the long and triple jump parallel along the western straight-away and the pole vault way parallel to the eastern straightaway. The area inside the oval is the Redway Field and is large enough for a full, international-sized soccer field (360 feet by 225 feet). The track is named for the longest-serving (1952–2004) faculty member in school history, who founded the programs in cross-country and track and field.
- Playing Fields – The 10 athletic fields include Crocker Field (used for Varsity Football and Girls' Varsity Lacrosse), Elliott Field (used for Varsity Baseball), a JV baseball field, two field hockey fields, four lacrosse/soccer fields, and a softball field.
- There are five boys' dorms and six girls' dorms. Two or three faculty members live with their families in apartments within each of the buildings.
As of the 2014–15 school year, students are required to take a minimum of four years of English, mathematics through precalculus, three years of a foreign language, two years of laboratory science courses, two years of social sciences, one or two semesters of religious studies, and two semesters of art classes.[4]

I can't remember a spring training when I was this cynical about the Yankees' prospects for the season. World Series or bust? Really? More like $189M or bust.That's what happens when you have a disastrous offseason like this one. I mean, really -- what Brian Cashman moves, exactly, excited you this winter? Signing the injury-ridden ex-Boston Red Sox Kevin Youkilis for $12 million, way above what anybody else would pay him? Going with Francisco Cervelli and Chris Stewart as your catchers? Starting spring without a right-handed hitting outfielder?Then you have Hal Steinbrenner, who is so clueless that he told the Wall Street Journal he was "surprised" to hear of the fans' "anger." Really, Hal? Where have you been, exactly? Oh, I know. You've been worried about the evil StubHub, the real enemy.I know it's become a cliche to wonder "What would George Steinbrenner do?" when it comes to any new development in Yankeeland, but when the only time you hear the team's co-owner show any passion...

Clarifying the Law Relating to Unmanned Drones and the Use of Force: The Relationships between Human Rights, Self-Defense, Armed Conflict, and International Humanitarian Law
McNab, Molly, Matthews, Megan, Denver Journal of International Law and Policy
By now it is common knowledge that the United States employs weaponized unmanned drones in its conflict with al Qaeda. Predator drones, equipped with Hellfire Missiles, were first deployed shortly after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks to target al Qaeda leaders in Afghanistan. (1) The first reported drone strike outside Afghanistan occurred in 2002 in Yemen. (2) The basic facts of the United States' conflict with al Qaeda are relatively well known. However, the law that governs the conflict is murky at best, and there is little consensus among the legal experts on many relevant legal issues. This article is designed to lay out the basic framework of the law and highlight the major areas of contention, providing the foundation for understanding the intricacies and nuances discussed by the eminent publicists writing in this edition of the Denver Journal of International Law & Policy.
To explain the laws governing the use of force, applied in a modern context, this article first briefly describes in Section II the historical context in which the law surrounding the use of force developed. Then, Section III explains the basic legal paradigms that apply to an analysis concerning the legality of drones as weapons of war, including human rights, self-defense, the law of armed conflict, and international humanitarian law (IHL). A brief examination of terrorism and the background history relating to difficulties in defining terrorism follows in Section IV. Section V examines the different approaches to the jus ad bellum analysis, which is the first step in determining legality of the use of force. Finally, Section VI lays out the jus in bello assessment that governs how a State may use force when carrying out a specific campaign.
In the mid-1600's, Hugo Grotius, the Dutch scholar widely considered the father of international law, (3) recognized the paramount principle of territorial sovereignty, and that all sovereigns are perpetually either in a state of peace governed by human rights law or a state of war governed by humanitarian law. (4) These revelations were considered to be new concepts of international law designed to reflect new legal realities. (5) Such a paradigm shift is now termed a "Grotian Moment." (6) Some scholars argue that September 11th created a Grotian Moment regarding the use of force to combat terrorism, (7) while others argue the traditional bipartite legal paradigm of humanitarian law and human rights law ensconced by Grotius' original Grotian Moment prevails (8) and the fundamental principle of territorial sovereignty (9) remains inviolable. (10)
Regardless of whether September 11th constituted a Grotian Moment, the challenge the international community faces today is applying law, which developed over the course of the last four centuries, to new situations and technologies that were previously unimaginable. While international law continuously evolves, arguing that September 11th caused total destruction to the foundational principles governing the use of force is unsupportable. Rather, use of force law may have evolved in some manners, but it did so within the confines of well-established basic principles.
Since Grotius, significant evolution of the foundational concept of war and peace has occurred. Two of the most momentous developments emerged from the rubble of World War II. First, the United Nations (U.N.) was formed, and now, virtually all States are party to the U.N. Charter. (11) Accordingly, Article 2(4) of the U.N. Charter, which codifies a general prohibition on the use of force, is binding upon nearly every State. (12) This prohibition can only be overcome in very narrow exceptions, one of which is a State's inherent right to self-defense, laid out in Article 51 of the U.N. Charter. (13)
The second post-World War II development was the introduction, and subsequent adoption, of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which provides for the protection of civilians during armed conflicts. …

COMMERCE CITY — Colorado Rapids, meet the Bizarro Colorado Rapids.
Now there's a Rapids starting lineup — like the one you'll see Sunday when the team travels to Houston to take on the Dynamo — and there's another, shadow Rapids team.
The bizarro, shadow Rapids exist in a "nursery" — as coach Oscar Pareja calls it. That's where 10 players currently reside, the product of an astounding string of injuries.
It's amazing to consider, but the Rapids right now can field nearly an entire starting lineup with injured players. They're like a team divided, not by some locker room conflict, but by Ace bandages.
"I haven't seen it before in my life," Pareja said after a 1-0 loss to visiting Seattle last Saturday. "I haven't seen this many missing people with injuries. Seriously, it's unbelievable."
Major League Soccer rules limit the number of first-team players on a roster to 30, and 18 of them suit up on game days. The Rapids currently field a roster of 29. But 10 of those players are currently injured and likely won't play Sunday.
The long-term injuries with no end in sight include GK Matt Pickens (broken arm), D Diego Calderon (knee surgery), M Kevin Harbottle (knee sprain) and M Jaime Castrillón (knee surgery).Two key players — M Pablo Mastroeni (quad strain) and M Martin Rivero (broken foot) — have missed most of the season but returned to practice in recent days.
And three players injured last week are considered doubtful this weekend, Pareja said, those being D Marvell Wynne (quad strain), F Deshorn Brown (quad strain) and F Edson Buddle (knee patella swelling).
That leaves Pareja with the job of choosing 18 players from a list of 19. There are players currently in the Rapids starting XI who would not be on the game-day, 18-man roster if the team was at full strength.
That's not an ideal situation for success.
"I don't believe in bad luck. Good luck and bad luck are just the consequences of good work or bad work," Pareja said this week.
At some point, an anomaly becomes a trend and accidents become expectations. The Rapids, Pareja said, are looking into it.
"Most of the injuries are accidents," he said. "But I'd like to think there's something in there that we should do or we can do better. And we're exploring that part."
Colorado (2-4-2) has responded with a slew of young players stepping into big roles, including rookies Deshorn Brown (two goals) and Dillon Powers (eight starts), and first-year goalkeeper Clint Irwin.
"Can you imagine that I was going to be thinking Deshorn Brown is not going to play right away? Or Dillon is not ready? Two months ago I would have said, 'Who's Clint?' " Pareja said. "But there have been a lot of steps since then."
But until the Rapids are working with a full roster, it's likely to be a struggle.
"You want me to be honest?" Pareja said. "I will be more concerned when everybody is back. But until then, we have to get results."

Sean Ervine notched 93 and captain Jimmy Adams a half-century as Hampshire recovered from a slow start to make a respectable first-innings total on day three of the LV= County Championship Division Two clash with Worcestershire at the Ageas Bowl.
The pair provided the cornerstone of Hampshire's 263, a total that looked unlikely when labouring on 105 for six earlier in the day, before Worcestershire made an impressive start to their reply.
The visitors, for whom Jack Shantry took four wickets, were on 103 for one by the close of play, with captain Daryl Mitchell and England batsman Moeen Ali at the crease on 44 and 27 respectively to establish the draw as the firm favourite in a rain-ruined contest.
Hampshire began this morning on 37 for three – the sum of what little play was possible on day one following a washout yesterday.
Adams resumed on 32 and soon progressed to a well-earned fifty, bringing it up with a four to take his side to 65 for three.
But two wickets from consecutive balls by Shantry pegged Hampshire back, with Adams caught for 67 by Alexei Kervezee and Joe Gatting trudging back without troubling the scorers on his first appearance for the county.

— Hampshire Cricket (@hantscricket) April 8, 2014
It was another Shantry delivery that ousted Will Smith for 29 – Tom Kohler-Cadmore again providing the safe hands to remove a debutant and leave Hampshire in a spot of bother.
The hosts managed to steady the ship, though, through Adam Wheater and Ervine. They were 136 for six at lunch and the Wheater-Ervine partnership took them to 198 before the former fell for 35 to Gareth Andrew.
In the next over, the eighth wicket fell as Matt Coles sent a return catch to Moeen.
Shantry ensured fine figures of 4-68 when David Balcombe was caught behind by Ben Cox for 23, leaving Hampshire on 237 for nine.
Ervine blasted two mighty sixes in pursuit of his ton but he would fall seven runs short to Charlie Morris as Kervezee rounded off a stellar fielding display.
Worcestershire's response saw Matthew Pardoe removed for 19, but Mitchell and Moeen responded with calmly assured progress and batting bonus points are likely to be the order day four.

ABSTRACT: A low-cost optical feedback system using dynamic mirrors has been developed at the NSLS for stabilizing the position and direction of an infrared synchrotron beam against thermal drift and mechanical noise. The system design has some unique features that potentially simplify installation into an existing infrared beamline. We describe the system and its features along with some performance results.

ABSTRACT: We measured the spectroscopic response of stripe-and vortex-containing ErMnO 3 in order to uncover the electronic properties of the domain walls. We quantify Born effective charge and polarization differences using the lattice behavior, analyze the local rare earth environment from the f -manifold excitations, and reveal how shifts in the charge transfer excitations impact the band gap. The increased Born charge, polarization, and band gap in the vortex-containing material are brought together with a discussion of hybridization and wall density effects. The domain wall optical constants are strongly frequency dependent.
Article: A broadband silicon quarter-wave retarder for far-infrared spectroscopic circular dichroism[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The high brightness, broad spectral coverage and pulsed characteristics of infrared synchrotron radiation enable time-resolved spectroscopy under throughput-limited optical systems, as can occur with the high-field magnet cryostat systems used to study electron dynamics and cyclotron resonance by far-infrared techniques. A natural extension for magnetospectroscopy is to sense circular dichroism, i.e. the difference in a material's optical response for left and right circularly polarized light. A key component for spectroscopic circular dichroism is an achromatic 1/4 wave retarder functioning over the spectral range of interest. We report here the development of an in-line retarder using total internal reflection in high-resistivity silicon. We demonstrate its performance by distinguishing electronic excitations of different handednesses for GaAs in a magnetic field. This 1/4 wave retarder is expected to be useful for far-infrared spectroscopy of circular dichroism in many materials.
Article: Infrared-active optical phonons and magnetic excitations in the hexagonal manganites RMnO3 (R = Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Optical properties of hexagonal multiferroic oxides RMnO3, where R = Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu, have been studied in the far-infrared spectral range between 100 and 2000 cm(-1) and temperatures between 1.5 and 300 K by means of several experimental techniques: Mueller matrix spectroscopic ellipsometry, rotating analyzer ellipsometry, and optical transmission spectroscopy. Spectra of the optical phonons are described in terms of the temperature dependencies of their frequency, damping, and oscillator strength. For all studies, oxide materials' clear signatures of the spin-phonon interaction have been found below the temperature of the antiferromagnetic phase transition T-N due to magnetic ordering of Mn3+ spins. A decrease of the ionic radius for R3+ ions between Ho3+ and Lu3+ in the corresponding RMnO3 compounds resulted in systematic variation of the frequency for several optical phonons. A magnetic excitation at similar to 190 cm(-1) was observed at low temperatures below T-N and interpreted as resulting from two-magnon absorption.
Article: Bulk Signatures of Pressure-Induced Band Inversion and Topological Phase Transitions in Pb$_{1-x}$Sn$_x$Se[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The characteristics of topological insulators are manifested in both their surface and bulk properties, but the latter remain to be explored. Here we report bulk signatures of pressure-induced band inversion and topological phase transitions in Pb$_{1-x}$Sn$_x$Se ($x=$0.00, 0.15, and 0.23). The results of infrared measurements as a function of pressure indicate the closing and the reopening of the band gap as well as a maximum in the free carrier spectral weight. The enhanced density of states near the band gap in the topological phase give rise to a steep interband absorption edge. The change of density of states also yields a maximum in the pressure dependence of the Fermi level. Thus our conclusive results provide a consistent picture of pressure-induced topological phase transitions and highlight the bulk origin of the novel properties in topological insulators.

ABSTRACT: We report the observation of two signatures of a pressure-induced topological quantum phase transition in the polar semiconductor BiTeI using x-ray powder diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. The x-ray data confirm that BiTeI remains in its ambient-pressure structure up to 8 GPa. The lattice parameter ratio c/a shows a minimum between 2.0-2.9 GPa, indicating an enhanced c-axis bonding through p_{z} band crossing as expected during the transition. Over the same pressure range, the infrared spectra reveal a maximum in the optical spectral weight of the charge carriers, reflecting the closing and reopening of the semiconducting band gap. Both of these features are characteristics of a topological quantum phase transition and are consistent with a recent theoretical proposal.
Conference Paper: Calibrating apodizer fabrication techniques for high-contrast coronagraphs on segmented and monolithic space telescopes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: High contrast imaging can use pupil apodizers to suppress diffracted starlight from a bright source in order to observe its environs. Metallic half-tone dot transmissive apodizers were developed for the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) and ESO SPHERE coronagraphs for use in the near-IR. Dot sizes on the scale of the wavelength of the light often result in unexpected variations in the optical transmission vs. superficial dot density relation. We measured 5 and 10 micron half-tone microdot screens' transmissions between 550 -1050 nm to prepare to fabricate apodizations that mitigate diffraction by segments gaps and spiders on future large space telescopes. We utilized slow test beams (f/40, f/80) to estimate the on-axis (far-field, or zero-order) transmission of test patches using a Fourier Transform Spectrograph on Beamline U10B at Brookhaven National Laboratory's National Synchrotron Light Source (BNL NSLS). We also modified our previous GPI IR characterization hardware and methods for this experiment. Our measurements show an internal consistency of 0.1% in transmission, a factor of 5 better than our near-IR GPI work on the NSLS U4IR beamline. The systematics of the set-up appeared to limit the absolute calibration for our f/40 data on the 50-patch, maximum Optical Density 3 (OD3), sample. Credible measurements of transmissions down to about 3% transmission were achieved for this sample. Future work on apodizers for obstructed and segmented primary mirror coronagraphs will require configurations that mimic the intended diffractive configurations closely in order to tune apodizer fabrication to any particular application, and measure chromatic effects in representative diffractive regimes. Further experimental refinements are needed to measure the densest test patches which possess transmissions less than a few percent. The new NSLS-II should provide much greater spectral stability of its synchrotron beam, which will improve measurement accuracy and reduce systematics.

ABSTRACT: Vanadium dioxide (VO2) undergoes a phase transition at a temperature of 340 K between an insulating monoclinic M1 phase and a conducting rutile phase. Accurate measurements of possible anisotropy of the electronic properties and phonon features of VO2 in the insulating monoclinic M1 and metallic rutile phases are a prerequisite for understanding the phase transition in this correlated system. Recently, it has become possible to grow single domain untwinned VO2 microcrystals which makes it possible to investigate the true anisotropy of VO2. We performed polarized transmission infrared micro-spectroscopy on these untwinned microcrystals in the spectral range between 200 cm-1 and 6000 cm-1 and have obtained the anisotropic phonon parameters and low frequency electronic properties in the insulating monoclinic M1 and metallic rutile phases. We have also performed ab initio GGA+U total energy calculations of phonon frequencies for both phases. We find our measurements and calculations to be in good agreement.

ABSTRACT: Finite-difference time-domain methods are increasingly being used to develop, model and analyze the response of materials, including engineered metamaterials that may contain superconductors. Though simple and useful expressions for the time-domain susceptibility exist for basic metals and dielectrics, the time-domain response for a superconductor has not been developed, mainly because the frequency-dependent expressions themselves are rather complex. In this paper we present a simple approximate expression for the time-domain susceptibility of a superconductor for the hbar/2Delta time scale (where Delta is the BCS energy gap) that fulfills causality requirements, and demonstrate its ability to model the transmission and reflection of a fully-gapped superconductor in the THz region. By allowing Delta to be a function of current, we also show how this model function can be used to describe nonlinear microwave response in superconductors.

ABSTRACT: Reflection and transmission as a function of temperature (7–300 K and 5–300 K respectively) have been measured on single crystals of the multiferroic compound FeTe2O5Br utilizing light spanning from the far infrared to the visible. The complex dielectric function and other optical properties were obtained via Kramers-Kronig analysis and by fits to a Drude-Lortentz model. Analysis of the anisotropic excitation spectra via Drude-Lorentz fitting and lattice dynamical calculations have led to the observation of 43 of the 53 modes predicted along the b axis of the monoclinic cell. The phonon response parallel to the a and c axes are also presented. Assignments to groups (clusters) of phonons have been made and trends within them are discussed in light of our calculated displacement patterns.

ABSTRACT: We report conventional and time-resolved infrared spectroscopy on LaFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_x$ superconducting thin films. The far-infrared transmission can be quantitatively explained by a two-component model including a conventional s-wave superconducting term and a Drude term, suggesting at least one carrier system has a full superconducting gap. Photo-induced studies of excess quasiparticle dynamics reveal a nanosecond effective recombination time and temperature dependence that agree with a recombination bottleneck in the presence of a full gap. The two experiments provide consistent evidence of a full, nodeless though not necessarily isotropic, gap for at least one carrier system in LaFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_x$.

ABSTRACT: The vortex-state electrodynamics of s-wave superconductors has been studied by infrared spectroscopy. Far-infrared transmission and reflection spectra of superconducting NbTiN and NbN thin films were measured in a magnetic field perpendicular to the film surface, and the optical conductivity was extracted. The data show clear reduction of superconducting signature. We consider the vortex state as a two-component effective medium of normal cores embedded in a BCS superconductor. The spectral features are well explained by the Maxwell-Garnett theory. Our analysis supports the presence of magnetic-field-induced pair-breaking effects in the superconducting component outside of the vortex cores.

ABSTRACT: Microspectroscopic imaging in the infrared (IR) spectral region allows for the examination of spatially-resolved chemical composition on the microscale. More than a decade ago, it was demonstrated that diffraction-limited spatial resolution can be achieved when an apertured, single-pixel IR microscope is coupled to the high brightness of a synchrotron light source. Nowadays, many IR microscopes are equipped with multi-pixel Focal Plane Array (FPA) detectors, which dramatically improve data acquisition times for imaging large areas. Recently, progress been made toward efficiently coupling synchrotron IR beamlines to multi-pixel detectors, but they utilize expensive and highly customized optical schemes. Here we demonstrate the development and application of a simple optical configuration that can be implemented on most existing synchrotron IR beamlines in order to achieve full-field IR imaging with diffraction-limited spatial resolution. Specifically, the synchrotron radiation fan is extracted from the bending magnet and split into four beams that are combined on the sample, allowing it to fill a large section of the FPA. With this optical configuration, we are able to oversample an image by more than a factor of two, even at the shortest wavelengths, making image restoration through deconvolution algorithms possible. High chemical sensitivity, rapid acquisition times, and superior signal-to-noise characteristics of the instrument are demonstrated. The unique characteristics of this setup enabled the real-time study of heterogeneous chemical dynamics with diffraction-limited spatial resolution for the first time.

ABSTRACT: We have developed a simple time-domain electric susceptibility model for a BCS type superconductor, valid for the spectral range spanning the optical energy gap frequency φ˜2δ and TTC. The expression can be used in Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) calculations for propagating electromagnetic waves through systems containing superconductor materials, including meta-materials. Since the energy gap appears explicitly, it can be varied as a function of time to describe non-linear and non-equilibrium effects as observed in microwave experiments. We use the expression in a FDTD calculation for the transmission through and reflection from a thin film of NbN on a substrate, and compare with both conventional frequency domain calculations as well as actual experimental results.

ABSTRACT: Far-IR spectra of magneto-electric (ME) and multiferroic materials are in the focus of modern experimental and theoretical studies. Bi-anisotropic optical properties of these materials require consideration of not only dielectric susceptibility tensor ɛ(φ) but also magnetic permeability μ(φ) and ME α(φ) tensors that cannot be distinguished from a single transmission or reflection spectrum. We report on the application of Mueller matrix spectroscopic ellipsometry (MM-SE) for studies of elementary excitations in multiferroic materials such as TbMnO3, TbMn2O5, and TbFe3(BO3)4 single crystals. We show that magnetic, electric, and ME dipole excitations, such as magnons, phonons, and electromagnons can be distinguished from each other using a single MM measurement without introducing any modeling arguments. The fit of MM spectra based on the Berreman's 4x4 propagation matrix formalism allowed us to determine parameters of electromagnon excitations separating the electric ɛ(φ) and ME α(φ) tensors components.

ABSTRACT: We have performed both conventional as well as time-resolved far-infrared spectroscopy on LaFeAsO1-xFx pnictide thin films. The conventional spectroscopy results can be fit using a simple gapped superconductor + normal conductor two-component model. Absorption by quasiparticles in a gap system with nodes is a plausible explanation for the normal component [Lobo et al. Phys. Rev. B 82, 100506(R) (2010)]. The time-resolved study is performed by laser-pump, far-IR probe spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation at NSLS beamline U4IR. A laser pulse breaks superconducting pairs and the synchrotron probe is used to sense the recombination process. In contrast to the picosecond response observed for cuprate superconductors, we observe a nanosecond response typical of a fully gapped superconductor where phonon-bottleneck effects slow the effective recombination rate. This result suggests the presence of a full isotropic gap, as might exist at lower energies due to electronic scattering [Carbotte et al. Phys. Rev. B 81, 104510 (2010)].
Article: Synchrotron radiation-based far-infrared spectroscopic ellipsometer with full Mueller-matrix capability[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We developed far-IR spectroscopic ellipsometer at the U4IR beamline of the National Synchrotron Light Source in Brookhaven National Laboratory. This ellipsometer is able to measure both, rotating analyzer and full-Mueller matrix spectra using rotating retarders, and wire-grid linear polarizers. We utilize exceptional brightness of synchrotron radiation in the broad spectral range between about 20 and 4000 cm. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer is used for multi-wavelength data acquisition. The sample stage has temperature variation between 4.2 and 450 K, wide range of θ-2θ angular rotation, χ tilt angle adjustment, and X-Y-Z translation. A LabVIEW-based software controls the motors, sample temperature, and FT-IR spectrometer and also allows to run fully automated experiments with pre-programmed measurement schedules. Data analysis is based on Berreman's 4 × 4 propagation matrix formalism to calculate the Mueller matrix parameters of anisotropic samples with magnetic permeability μ ≠ 1. A nonlinear regression of the rotating analyzer ellipsometry and∕or Mueller matrix (MM) spectra, which are usually acquired at variable angles of incidence and sample crystallographic orientations, allows extraction of dielectric constant and magnetic permeability tensors for bulk and thin-film samples. Applications of this ellipsometer setup for multiferroic and ferrimagnetic materials with μ ≠ 1 are illustrated with experimental results and simulations for TbMnO and DyFeO single crystals. We demonstrate how magnetic and electric dipoles, such as magnons and phonons, can be distinguished from a single MM measurement without adducing any modeling arguments. The parameters of magnetoelectric components of electromagnon excitations are determined using MM spectra of TbMnO.

ABSTRACT: Reflection and transmission as a function of temperature (5--300 K) have been measured on single crystals of the multiferroic compound FeTe$_{2}$O$_{5}$Br utilizing light spanning the far infrared to the visible portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The complex dielectric function and optical properties were obtained via Kramers-Kronig analysis and by fits to a Drude-Lortentz model. Analysis of the anisotropic excitation spectra via Drude-Lorentz fitting and lattice dynamical calculations have lead to the observation of all 52 IR-active modes predicted in the $ac$ plane and 43 or the 53 modes predicted along the b axis of the monoclinic cell. Assignments to groups (clusters) of phonons have been made and trends within them are discussed in light of our calculated displacement patterns.

Stock Offerings: Two Harbors
TheStreet) -- Two Harbors Investment (TWO - Get Report) surged in early trading Friday after the company cancelled a proposed stock offering, allaying fears of shareholder dilution. Two Harbors Investment cancelled its proposed public offering of 14 million shares of common stock, having determined that the available share price "would result in an unacceptable dilution of book value to existing shareholders." Two Harbors initially filed the registration for the offering on March 18. Shares were surging on the news, up 53 cents, or 6.1%, to $9.28.Curiously, Two Harbors shares traded below $9 per share for nearly all of Thursday's session before spiking in the last minutes of trading, finishing the day up 4.5% at $9.25. Several companies that announced secondary offerings were jumping after announcing the offering price. STR Holdings (STRI) priced its offering of 7 million shares at $18.75. The offering, which is being done on behalf of certain stockholders, was announced Monday. STR Holdings will not receive any proceeds from the offering. Underwriters were granted the option to purchase up to an additional 1.05 million shares. After falling as low as $18.50 on Monday, STR Holdings shares have bounced back and were lately up 7.5% to $20.48. CF Industries (CF - Get Report) also gained ground after the fertilizer company said it will offer 11.23 million shares of common stock priced at $89 per share. Proceeds from the offering will be used to a $1.75 billion senior secured bridge facility used to fund the acquisition of Terra Industries, which closed Thursday.

Does the laser produce a tighter spread, or is it just a visual indicator which results in increased accuracy? Is this the equivolent of Steady Aim?
