5 Minute Genealogy Episode 12: Write It Down
You may have asked yourself: "I keep finding the same records over and over again. What am I doing wrong?" "I feel like I've found these records before, but I am not positive. How can I avoid wasting effort looking for things I've already found?" When research is not written down or good notes are not kept, it can be easy to repeat the work you've already done. In this episode, Jesse will show you the importance of writing things down and keeping good notes. You will learn what to record and how to record it so you don't do the same research over and over.
5 Minute Genealogy Episode 4: Learn from Family
You may have asked yourself: "How can my family members help me?" "What questions should I ask them?" "Who should I talk to first?" Communicating with family members can connect living relatives and help families learn their ancestors' stories and experiences. In this episode, Jesse will show you how talking with family members can help you update your pedigree, learn more about a specific ancestor's life, and lead you on a journey through memories and stories you can record for future generations. You will learn how to ask questions that will reveal dates, events, locations, names, and other pieces of valuable information.

Return policy... All Sales final. The important thing for us is being as accurate as possible. There is no benefit to us in mis-describing or exaggerating. We adhere to the scale of rating recognized by most sellers of used books. As a general rule, we always try to be conservative, rather than optimistic, in our assessment. The five basic categories are described thus: Fine (F) – Book has no defects, Near Fine(NF) - Book has had little usage. Older books may show minor flaws. Very Good (VG) - Book shows some signs of wear and is no longer fresh, though it still appears attractive. Good (G) – A majority of second hand books would probably belong to this category. The average used book with all pages present. Books with loose bindings, highlighting or annotations, cocked spine, torn or edgeworn dust jackets, can also fall into this category. The major faults are included in the description. Fair (FR) - Obviously well worn and handled, but no text pages are missing, however, it may be without endpapers or a title page. There might be markings, but they do not interfere with readability. Poor (P) - All text is legible but may be soiled and have binding defects. Reading copies and binding copies fall into this category. Often books that quite obviously do not fit neatly into any one of these categories come into our hands. For instance, a book might be very close to being described as "fine", except for a relatively minor flaw, such as a light crease to one of the pages. In such case we would probably describe it as "very good-fine". On the other hand, "fair-good" could be in order when we need to properly describe a book that has a fair amount of wear, but would clearly not deserve to be described only as "fair".

Lord of The Flies = Every Kid For Himself.Rebecca Odes
We have crossed a threshold recently, where, when a group of families get together, our kids are old enough to be able to join the fray unattended. This in turn, signifies another new beginning: the dawn of adult conversation. It's awesome. A huge relief. We sit and talk, drinking wine. The kids race around various apartments and houses and backyards, forming their own governments. But it does come with a teeny bit of anxiety, when I see the parade of maniac children race by, wondering which one's going to be the first ritual sacrifice.
And of course, praying it's not mine. Lately, the words Lord Of The Flies seem to come up at almost every party.
Lord of the Flies has become universal language for Chaotic Sadistic Government Run by Children. I can't remember the original story. I remember there was a bad kid named Piggy and a bunch of fires and murders, and I loved/hated it when I read it as a kid…and have no desire to revisit it as a parent. Because some version of that nightmare flashes through my mind every time my kid comes home from a party or a playdate with a dramatic tale of how he got stepped on or smashed (and/or I find out that he's done some smashing himself).
It's a tiny version, but a scary one nonetheless. Funny how freedom can quickly turn into a parent's nightmare.

Channel 95.5 Dress Drive: All May!
Were you listening to Channel 95.5 this morning? If so, you may have heard the exciting news about our May dress drive! Here's the details:
The Brides Project is thankful to be partnering up with Channel 95.5's Shannon Murphy and Art Van Furniture to host our first month long dress drive! All through May, Art Van will be accepting donations of wedding gowns which will be donated directly to The Brides Project.
Additional details can be found on Channel 95.5's website, here.
Our kick off event is this Saturday, May 5th from 1pm-3pm at the Art Van store across from Twelve Oaks Mall. We'll have our own volunteers on hand to collect donations and meet with anyone who stops in to see us! If you weren't excited enough, Channel 95.5 has also partnered with Lucido Fine Jewelry to give away a chance for 1 of 8 $50 gift cards to women who donate their dresses at Art Van on the 5th! A chance at free jewelry gift cards and donating to a worthy cause – what could be better?
We'd love to see you on Saturday and hope that you'll spread the word about our month long dress drive. The Brides Project wouldn't be possible with the generous donations of dresses from brides – the more dresses we have, the better we able to continue to help support the Cancer Support Community.
Please share the link to the page on Channel 95.5's website, or the post on our Facebook page.
Donation Story, Southern Brides Part II: Hadley
Hadley is our second charming Southern Bride. She hails all the way from Georgia and we are very happy to have connected with her!
When we asked Hadley about why she wanted to donate her dress, she told us she wanted to donate to a smaller organization that is really involved in the community. What a heartfelt compliment!
Hadley's dress is a Casablanca design (orignal cost of $1,000) which she loved because of the train for a more elegant look (during the ceremony), and the bustle for dancing during the reception. We couldn't agree more about this functional and beautiful dress and we are thrilled to have been chosen to receive it for our salon.
"I hope that the dress brings as much happiness and love to the marriage of the next woman that wears it as it has me." – Bride Hadley
After Hadley's sweet wishes for the next bride that wears her gown, who wouldn't want this dress to be theirs? Thank you, Hadley, for finding us and passing on a part of your special day!
Donation Story, Southern Brides Part I: Amanda
We are fortunate to be able to connect with brides from nearby and far away. So, it's exciting that we can do to a two part feature on two very lovely "Southern" Brides who generously donated their wedding gowns to The Brides Project!
Our first Southern Bride is Amanda, who is from Florida. She donated a beautiful Maggie Sotterro lace gown that originally cost $1,100 (see Amanda above). We asked Amanda why she wanted to donate to us, and here is what she said:
"I knew when I bought my dress that I didn't want it boxed up after the wedding and taking up space in the closet. My husband and I wanted our wedding to help others as much as possible, from our charity registry and to sending our centerpieces to a local hospice, so donating my dress seemed obvious. My wedding day was perfect and I love the idea that another bride can use my dress to create a perfect day of her own.
After inquiring with a similar, but larger organization that just seemed too impersonal, I was very excited when I came across The Brides Project on the internet. Like everyone, I've known too many people affected by cancer and the mission of the Project and the Cancer Support Community seems to fulfill patient needs that are often overlooked. Coincidentally, my mother grew up and most of her family still live near Ann Arbor, so I even feel somewhat connected to the community being served."
Amanda looked stunning in her dress and we are thrilled that she found us and donated her dress to support our mission and those at the Cancer Support Community. Thank you, Amanda, for finding us and believing in what we are working to do!
Stay tuned for Southern Brides Part II coming soon!
A Donation Story From One of Our Volunteers!
Love this beautiful dress? You can thank one of our volunteers, Hilary, for donating it to our salon!
Hilary learned about The Bride's Project from viewing the great logo on our salon door. Soon after, she replied to a request from one of our founding photographer volunteers, Melanie, to help photograph the larger dresses available for sale. Hilary photographed about 7 or 8 of our beautiful dresses and was hooked.
"It all seemed so organic, that these cherished dresses would more than double their value by being donated to support such a crucial cause. And allow brides to wear high end unique bridal gowns for a great savings. Beyond that, I love that the dresses live again, rather than getting stiff in a box in the attic."
After learning about The Brides Project, and getting to know the better designers, Hilary saw a wonderful 2nd-hand Maggie Soterro Dress, for such a great price, and knew she had to pass it along to the project.
"This dress is so easy to wear, to move in comfortably, and to look like a movie star. I love the rhinestone spaghetti straps, and the flattering line. It feels like a summer dress, with the added grace of really good lace."
Hilary hopes the bride that wears this dress feels amazing, gorgeous and at ease. We hope so too!
Thank you Hilary, for your wonderful contributions!
You can contact Hilary through her website.
Volunteer Spotlight: Kathy Davies
On Saturday, at our temporary location, Kathy rounded up a couple of beautiful bridal models, Liz and Eva, to help The Brides Project showcase a few of the gorgeous gowns waiting for their perfect bride. Kathy is a Detroit based photographer, who graciously travels to Ann Arbor to volunteer her time with us. She found out about The Brides Project when one of her best friends purchased a dress from us, "I came with her and everyone was so helpful and amazing."
Kathy wanted to get involved as a volunteer because she believes in the mission of The Brides Project and the support provided by the Cancer Support Community. She knows first hand how much help additional support can be for the family dealing with cancer. Kathy's uncle was diagnosed with cancer three years ago, passing away last week; "It makes me even more determined to make people aware of what a great thing The Brides Project is."
What does Kathy love about volunteering for The Brides Project? "Taking pics of the beautiful dresses of course!" She especially loves being involved because all the dresses are different; "there are some super cool vintage ones that you probably wouldn't find at any other bridal shop!"
We asked Kathy to tell us her favorite thing about weddings: "I love capturing the moment, when no one is watching. I love bringing out the beauty in everything, and being a part of someone's special memories. I also LOVE my couples, they are always so amazing, and I have so much fun with them."
We have a lot of fun with you too, Kathy! The energy Kathy brings into the salon is incredible, and she does a fantastic job of showing off the dresses we have for sale.
Pictured above, Kathy and awesome models Liz and Eva. Thank you Kathy for all you do!
Kathy can be contacted through her website.
Featured Bride: Keri
We are so excited to have Keri as our Featured Bride!
Before her appointment with us, Keri had been looking for her wedding dress for about a month. She had tried on nearly 50 dresses before she found a dress she really loved. Even though her older sister didn't give her the reaction she was looking for, Keri was pretty confident she had found "the one".
Keri made an appointment with The Brides Project after meeting with our volunteers at the Whimsical Occasions Bridal Show in Ann Arbor. We're so thankful she decided to give our bridal salon a chance, especially after all of the dress shopping she had done!
Since Keri had a dress she was confident about, we asked her how she would decide which dress to go with if she found another she loved. She told us that if all things were equal, the cause of The Brides Project and the Cancer Support Community would weigh more heavily in her decision. Keri has been touched by cancer through friends and family and in the few hours we got to spend with her, you could tell how much she believed in our mission.
"It feels amazing – makes me feel incredible to be doing this" – Keri
We're delighted to say, that not only did Keri find her wedding dress at The Brides Project, she was also the amazing bride to mark our first sale in our temporary location! We think Keri looks stunning in her dress, a gown by the same designer (Maggie Sottero) as the dress she had originally planned to purchase before finding us.
As if there wasn't enough to love about Keri, she has promised to donate her dress back to The Brides Project after her wedding next March. She hopes there are more brides that will give full circle, and re-donate their dresses to support our cause. We hope so too, Keri (and we can't thank you enough)!
Thank you, Keri, for believing in The Brides Project. We wish you all the best and hope to see you after your wedding next year!

Two Local Women Donate to The Brides Project
The Brides Project is happy to introduce two local women, Kim and Sherry, from the Ann Arbor, Michigan area. Both have donated their wedding gowns to our salon. Without donations from brides and bridal salons around the country, we would not be able to continue our mission. We are very grateful to generous women like these.
Our first donor is Kim Andrus of Ann Arbor who got married in 2006. Kim gave us her beautiful Jasmine Haute Couture 100% silk gown that originally cost $2,000. It's a great addition to our inventory and we know it won't sit long on our racks.
Wedding gowns are very special and hold so many memories of that special day. We asked Kim why she decided to donate to us and here is what she said:
I learned about the Bride's Project through a Facebook post from my friend, Kelly. When I read about the Project and the Cancer Support Community, I knew that donating my wedding gown was the right thing to do. Not only did the thought of my gown spending eternity in my basement seem a ridiculous waste, but I had also lost my dear Aunt Johanna just over a year ago to cancer. My ultimate reasons for donating were twofold: I wanted to provide a beautiful gown, that I was blessed to have, for a new bride to purchase at a lower cost; and knowing those funds would go to help people suffering with cancer, like my Aunt Johanna. This touched me in a very personal way. Maybe Aunt Johanna's quality of life would have been better if she'd had the type of support that the CSC provides. She contributed towards our wedding and did so much for me during her entire life. It's fitting that I can now give something back to help others facing the same situation.
Sherry Perkins is from Ypsilanti and is another very generous woman. She got married in December 2011, just a little over 3 months ago. She donated a gorgeous Sottero Midgley gown originally priced at $1,530. We love this dress! We contacted Sherry to ask her how she found us and why she wanted to give her special gown to our organization. Here is what she told us:
At first, I was actually looking to re-sell the dress. I contacted a business networking partner, Caroll of "Encore" (eBay resale in AA). She indicated that wedding dresses do not sell well on eBay and gave me the contact information for The Brides Project. As I reviewed The Brides Project website and learned of your Cancer Support Community, I was sold. Before being a new Bride on 12/17/11, I was a widow. My late husband died of melanoma cancer on Nov. 7th 2005. Had to be that the blessing bridges in both directions through The Brides Project.
The Brides Project thanks both Kim and Sherry for helping us continue our mission at the Cancer Support Community. Our organization helps cancer patients and their families cope with the everyday trauma of cancer treatment. We offer support through programs and activities, all of which are free of charge.

Europe Ends Unch As "Italian Hope" Gains Evaporate
For a moment there it was all solved. Everything was in full bull mode (apart from the EURUSD). Then, the 'buy first, ask questions later' crowd saw the headlines and the covering began. Of course, bulls will point to the fact that stocks closed unchanged and not down and sovereign spreads ended unchanged and not wider but the truth is that the Italian stock market dropped 4% from pre-poll headlines, Italian and Spanish bonds cracked over 30bps wider and the EUR dropped 160 pips. Finding support at 5%, Spanish yields pushed higher and ended back above 360bps spread to Bunds. Europe's VIX pushed back above 21.5% but it is EURJPY's retracement of all the overnight gains that is probably hurting global risk the most for now...
The center of the chaos... Italian stocks and bonds and EURUSD...
and the rest of Europe...

I think the whole ride just flew. I gotta wonder how markets are even capable of such moves in the first place. If someone over slept today they'd have no idea much at all had happened.
Correct. EUR/USD has calmed after returning to yesterday's lows.
As a side note, University of Texas just took possession of $1b of gold, although I am dubious of their claim, as it is being stored in Manhattan. You'll need to employ scientific notation to put a dollar amount on that asset after it is re-hypothecated.

You can make lots of money running cociane into the Fla Keys from Columbia on a cigarette boat too, but I'm not doing that either.
the boat thing actually sounds fun
Italy is completely insignificant as all decisions "EU wise" are going to be made by the ECB / powers that be regardless. I love how American Media attepts to convince it's viewers "they should be concerned".
what decision ? the ECB's fucked, it can't even bail out Greece on it's own, there is NO WAY it can bail out italy.
you're in for a rude shock.
Greece can be sorted out, maybe. Spain is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Italy is the prolapsed intestines of the Eurozone.
It's done. Delayed for a bit but DONE. Germany will vote like they haven't voted for a long time. ABEU - Anything But EUro
buy that dip you fuckin monkey hft's!!!!
but but but jim cramer was telling me on cnbc this morning how everything is fine globally. how the u.s is fine, as the sequester does not really matter, china despite as poor pmi flash last night is doing well, and last but not least, while europe may be seeing a bit of slow growth, things are far from what they were during the euro crisis and all will be well.
fuck u cramer, and fuck ur partner stefanie link, dumb bitch who thinks everything is always well and telling ppl to buy stocks. fuck all of u and all of wall st and the fed
Sweet. Burn baby burn.
On an unrelated note, something has just been deleted from ZH --- I posted a sarcastic response to AnAnonymous in a thread a few minutes ago, and now both comments, apparently along with the entire article and thread, are gone!

How to Fix a Flat on a Riding Lawn Mower
Have you ever had a flat tire on your riding lawn mower where the tire comes loose from the rim? You think there is no way to get air into the tire so it mounts on the rim without calling AAA? I have good news as long as there isn't a gaping hole in the tire.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Make sure both rims of the tire are inside of the metal rims of the wheel
2My favorite device here is one of the small ratcheting tie down straps. A piece of rope might work in a pinch.
3Wrap the tie down strap around the middle of the tire and begin tightening until you see that the tire rims are pressing against the wheel rims tightly.
4If the tire just came off of the wheel and doesn't have a hole in it then now is the time to hook up your handy dandy tire inflator to the valve stem.
5Inflate until the tire seals to the rim (it will usually make a popping noise as it seals to the rim) then loosen the strap as needed, add more air and repeat loosening the strap until the tire is inflated to the suggested PSI located on the sidewall of the tire then take the strap off.
6If you know there is a hole in the tire and it is just a small hole then go to your local hardware or automotive store and get a can of pressurized tire sealant and attach it to the valve stem on the tire and begin to inflate using the sealant instructions. See step #5.
7Disconnect the sealant can and drive the riding mower around for the recommended time in the sealant instructions to ensure that the sealant has reached the hole and had time to do its job. Now you get to finish your job.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- To keep your tires from separating from the rims make sure you get a tire pressure gauge and check your tire pressures each time you use your mower.
- Do not exceed the rated PSI for the tire.
- Make sure that you remove the strap completely before driving the mower.

In optical switching and transmission systems, it is important to periodically restore the logic level and timing of pulses traveling in the optical transmission medium. Such restoration is currently performed in regenerators, which typically include electro-optical devices. The current trend toward all optical systems has resulted in development of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, which when used with soliton pulses, correct the pulse amplitude and shape and thus provide logic level restoration without the need for optical to electrical conversion. When such amplifiers are used, timing restoration is still needed since without such restoration the transmission or switching system can become limited by timing jitter and fluctuations (e.g. from background spontaneous emission, temperature variations, etc.). To date, an optical device for performing such restoration has not been available. However, other advances in soliton transmission and switching systems, such as the ultra-fast optical logic devices, described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,932,739 issued to applicant on Jun. 12, 1990, and all-optical time domain chirp switch described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,078,464 issued to applicant on Jan. 7, 1992, and assigned to the same assignee as the present application, are available for use in helping to address the problem described above.
In accordance with the present invention, timing restoration for a sequence or series of input pulses is performed optically in a transmission or switching system, using a nonlinear material with negligible walk-off that also receives an essentially orthogonally polarized sequence or series of reference pulses. In the nonlinear material, the input pulses are frequency shifted by the presence of the reference pulses. For a material with negligible walk-off, the frequency shift only occurs when the pulses partially overlap, but not when the pulses are coincident. The frequency shifted output from the nonlinear material is supplied to a dispersive delay line that translates the frequency shift into a time shift, such that the input pulses are retimed by the reference pulses. If the nonlinear material has a nonlinear index of refraction n2 >0, then the dispersive delay line must have an anomalous Group Velocity Dispersion (GVD); on the other hand, if the nonlinear material has an index of refraction n2 <0, then the dispersive delay line must have a normal GVD. The nonlinear and dispersive media may be separate sections or may be distributed in the same medium.
In one embodiment, the invention can be realized by a hybrid time domain chirp switch (TDCS) similar to the one described in our above-cited patent application, that consists of a nonlinear chirper (which may be implemented in a semiconductor waveguide) followed by a dispersive delay line (which may be implemented in a polarization maintaining fiber). The chirp switch described in the above-cited patent application is modified, however, by arranging the nonlinear chirper (semiconductor waveguide) so that it exhibits negligible walk-off.
Another all-fiber embodiment of the nonlinear chirper may be a polarization holding fiber in the anomalous GVD regime that is made to look "non-birefringent". This can be accomplished by taking several segments of polarization maintaining fiber, exchanging the fast and slow axes alternately, and then splicing the segments together. To avoid walk-off, each segment should be less than half a walk-off length.
Using a timing restorer in accordance with our invention, an all-optical regenerator for solitons can be achieved by cascading our invention (e.g., a hybrid TDCS) with an optical amplifier such as an erbium-doped fiber amplifier. The regenerator advantageously will thus provide restoration of the amplitude, pulse shape, and timing.
The present invention will be better understood by reference to the following Detailed Description, which should be read in light of the accompanying drawings in which:

The above-cited copending application describes a time domain chirp switch (TDCS) logic gate shown in FIG. 1 that is based on soliton dragging in optical fibers. The switch, which has been implemented with switching energies approaching one picojoule, consists of a nonlinear chirper 101 followed by a soliton dispersive delay line 102. The digital logic that can be implemented by the switch of FIG. 1 is based on time shift keying in which a logical one corresponds to a control pulse applied on input 103 that arrives within a clock window as compared to an essentially orthogonally polarized signal pulse that is applied on input 104, and a logical zero corresponds to a control pulse that arrives outside of the clock window. One embodiment of the TDCS, illustrated in FIG. 2, includes a moderately birefringent fiber 201 that corresponds to nonlinear chirper 101 of FIG. 1, and a polarization maintaining fiber 202 coupled to a polarizer 205 that corresponds to soliton dispersive delay line 102 of FIG. 1. The control pulses 203 and signal pulses 204 applied to the TDCS are orthogonally polarized to avoid linear interference between the pulses. Only control pulses are passed through polarizer 205 and appear at control output 103 in FIG. 1.
In accordance with the present invention, the TDCS of FIG. 1 is modified to yield a "hybrid" TDCS as shown in FIG. 3 by replacing nonlinear chirper 101 with a nonlinear chirper 301 having negligible walk-off. By this, we mean that the orthogonally polarized control and signal pulses have the same velocity, and, therefore, maintain their relative positions while propagating through the nonlinear material. In the nonlinear chirper, the control or input pulse is frequency shifted (or "chirped") by the presence of the reference or signal pulse. For a material with negligible walk-off, the frequency shift only occurs when the pulses partially overlap, but not when the pulses are coincident. The output of chirper 301 is coupled to dispersive delay line 302, that exhibits anomalous GVD if n2 >0, and that exhibits normal GVD if n2 <0. The GVD in dispersive delay line 302 translates the frequency shift provided by chirper 301 into a time shift. By arranging for the previously mentioned n2 and GVD combinations, the desired timing restoration or correction is obtained. Dispersive delay line 302 may be a fiber or bulk optical elements such as gratings or prisms, provided that in all events, this component is arranged such that the pulse shape and width are not appreciably distorted. For example, if dispersive delay line 302 is implemented as a long length of optical fiber, it may be desirable to use soliton pulses rather than linear pulses.
FIG. 4 illustrates one embodiment of the hybrid TDCS timing restorer of FIG. 3 in which nonlinear chirper with negligible walk-off 301 of FIG. 3 is implemented by an AlGaAs semiconductor waveguide 401 (described in more detail below) and in which soliton dispersive delay line 302 (as in FIG. 2) is implemented by polarization maintaining fiber 402 coupled to a polarizer 403 that only passes control pulses. The GVD of fiber 402 is arranged as indicated in FIG. 3.
The hybrid TDCS shown in FIG. 4 was tested in experimental apparatus that included a passively modelocked color center laser that supplies τ˜415 fsec pulses near 1.69 μm. Delay line 302 was implemented as 600 m of polarization maintaining, dispersion-shifted fiber 402 with a zero dispersion wavelength of 1.585 μm (group velocity dispersion at 1.69 μm is about 6 ps/(nm-km)). Waveguide 401 was 2.1 mm long and had a cross-sectional area of approximately 2.5 μm×5 μm. It was formed as a ridge waveguide in a 2.55 μm thick layer of Al0.2 Ga0.8 As; guiding was assured by a 2.55 μm buffer layer of Al0.5 Ga0.5 As that had a refractive index 0.15 less than the active layer. A large waveguide was chosen for ease of coupling using bulk optics, and, although several spatial modes were supported, the fiber afterwards acted as a spatial filter to favor the lowest order mode. The semiconductor material composition was chosen so that the laser spectrum lies more than 100 meV below the half-gap energy, thus avoiding two photon absorption. In this wavelength range it was found that n2 ˜3×10-14 cm2 /W and that the material is isotropic (e.g. cross-phase modulation is two-thirds of self-phase modulation). In this experiment a π-phase shift from self-phase modulation with less than a ten percent absorption was obtained, and it was found that the nonlinear absorption originated primarily from three photon absorption. Furthermore, time resolved pump-probe measurements confirmed that the nonlinearity was instantaneous on the 500 fs time scale of the pulses.
The time shift keyed data for the hybrid TDCS of FIG. 4 is illustrated in FIG. 5, where the signal energy in the waveguide is 9.8 pJ and the control energy is 96.5 pJ. Rectangle 501 outlines the clock window, and it is noted that adding the signal shifts the control pulse out of this window. Because of mode mismatch and poor coupling into the fiber, the control energy exiting the fiber is 30.2 pJ, yielding a device fan-out or gain of about 3. Nonlinear phase shifts based on earlier nonlinear spectroscopy in longer lengths of the same waveguide were estimated. The peak self-phase-modulation phase shift for the control pulse in the waveguide was found to be about π/3, while the peak cross-phase-modulation phase shift imposed on the control by the signal was about π/40. The measured shift of the control pulse as a function of signal energy is illustrated in FIG. 6, and to the lowest order, it is expected that the shift will be linearly proportional to the switching energy.
It has been shown by M. N. Islam, C. R. Menyuk, C. J. Chen and C. E. Soccolich, Opt. Lett. 16, 214 (1991), that in soliton dragging, the control pulse chirps because of the combined action of cross-phase modulation and walk-off: the walk-off asymmetrizes the frequency modulation, thereby leading to a shift in the center frequency of the pulse. However, time-resolved measurements in waveguides as long as 7.7 mm indicate negligible walk-off for the 415 fs pulses used in the experiments. To understand how the present invention achieves time shift without birefringence, (i.e., using a semiconductive waveguide 401 as shown in FIG. 4) the shift of the control pulse ΔT as a function of the separation between the control and signal pulses δt, was studied experimentally, as shown in FIG. 7. Note in that figure that the results showed that there is not time shift when the two pulses are prefectly overlapped. On the other hand, when the pulses are partially separated and one pulse travels on the wing or side of the other pulse, there can be a net chirp or shift of the center frequency. The finite duration of the shift in FIG. 7 confirms that the nonlinearity is instantaneous and follows the pulse envelope.
The data in FIG. 7 also shows that the hybrid TDCS can provide the timing restoration that is desired. For example, suppose that the control pulse is the input pulse and that the signal pulse is a "reference" pulse with the proper temporal position. We define the separation between the pulses δt=tinput -tref and the shift of the input pulse ΔT. Therefore, if the input pulse is earlier than the reference pulse (δt<0), then the nonlinear interaction pulls the input pulse to later times (ΔT>0), and vice versa. To precisely correct for timing errors, the reference pulse level can be adjusted so the slope of the timing curve near δt˜0 is unity.
An intuitive picture of the timing correction results from considering the frequency shift and anomalous group velocity dispersion. The instantaneous frequency change δω of the input pulse is given by R. H. Stolen and Chinlon Lin, Phys. Rev. A. 17, 1448 (1978), as follows: ##EQU1## and is proportional to the negative slope of the reference pulse for n2 >0. Higher frequencies travel faster in anomalous GVD material, or a pulse with increased frequency arrives earlier and travels toward the left on a time axis.
FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate the correcting nature of the interaction. When the input pulse 801 arrives earlier than the reference pulse 802, input pulse 801 sees a positive slope, which lowers its instantaneous frequency, which in turn slows pulse 801 and moves it to a later time. When the input pulse 902 arrives later than the reference pulse 901, input pulse 902 sees a negative slope, which raises its instantaneous frequency, which in turn speeds up pulse 902 and moves it to an earlier time. Note that proper operation requires n2 >0 and anomalous dispersion in the fiber, or vice versa signs, and this simple picture holds as long as there is negligible walk-off between the two pulses. The preceding description is general, and is not limited to specific pulses; solitons may be desirable, but are not necessary.
Simple formulas describe the shift of the input pulse center frequency Δωc due to cross-phase-modulation in the limit of negligible dispersion, (no dispersion means that the pulses do not change in shape during the interaction). Standard soliton normalizations described by Mollenauer et al. in IEEE J. Quantum Electron, QE-22, 157 (1986) are used in the following equations, and t is local time on the pulse while z is distance along the waveguide. The case with negligible walk-off is described below, while the case of moderate birefringence is treated in the above-cited article in Optics Letters, Volume 16.
In the following analysis it is assumed that the input u and reference v pulses are given by
u(z=0,t)=sech(t);|v(z,t)|2 =As 2 sech2 (β(t+δt)) (2)
where δt=tinput -tref and β=τinput /τref. The input pulse accumulates a nonlinear phase shift due to cross-phase-modulation and is proportional to ##EQU2## Ther is also a phase shift arising from self-phase-modulation, but for a symmetric pulse this only leads to a symmetric broadening of the spectrum without a shift in the center frequency.
The shift in the frequency centroid is given by ##EQU3## and note that Δωc =0 when As =0. Introducing Eqs. (3) into (4) we obtain It can be checked from symmetry arguments that G(δt=0)=0, as expected in the absence of walk-off. In FIG. 10, a plot illustrates the negative of G(β, δt), which is proportional for anomalous GVD to ΔT/τ of the input pulse, for different values of β, and it is found that there is qualitive agreement with the experimental data of FIG. 7. The experimental data may drop off more abruptly because the laser pulses are Gaussian rather than hyperbolic secant. The asymmetry in the experimental data may partially be due to slightly asymmetric pulses from the laser.
The timing restoration provided by the hybrid TDCS of FIG. 4 can be tailored by adjusting the characteristics of the reference pulse. The width of the timing window can be adjusted by changing the width of the reference pulse, and the slope of the correction can be adjusted by changing the intensity of the reference pulse. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, by doubling the pulse width of the reference, the timing correction window can be increased from 1.8τ (β=1) to 2.4τ (β=0.5).
Although experiments were carried out with 415 fs pulses, the present invention can be extended to different pulse widths as well as to other nonlinear materials with negligible walk-off. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, a "non-birefringent" fiber that can maintain polarization extinction could be used as nonlinear chirper 301 of FIG. 3. as the hybrid TDCS of FIG. 4. In this embodiment a number of optical fiber segments 1101, 1102, 1103 each having its slow and fast axes crossed, can be spliced together. In this arrangement, the length of each segment should be less than half of the walk-off length. Since optical fibers have n2 >0, the device should be operated in the anomalous GVD regime.
The use of a timing restorer in accordance with the present invention in an all optical pulse regenerator, is illustrated in FIG. 12. As shown, a stream or series of soliton pulses on input 1200 are applied to an optical amplifier 1201, which may be anerbium-doped fiber amplifier, in order to restore the amplitude and shape of the pulses. Thereafter, the pulses are applied to a timing restorer 1202, which receives a stream or series of reference pulses on input 1203. Restorer 1202, which may be implemented as shown generally in FIG. 3, and specifically as shown in FIGS. 4 or 11, restores the input pulses on line 1200 to the timing provided by the reference pulses. The regenerator of FIG. 12 is all optical, and does not require elecro-optical components.
Numerous modifications and improvements can be made to the present invention, as will be understood by those skilled in the art. For example, by increasing the nonlinearity n2, less reference pulse energy is required, or by modifying the temporal profile of the reference pulse, one can tailor the shape of the time window. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the invention is to be limited only by the appended claims.

Antievolution resolution proposed in the Kansas legislature
According to the Lawrence Journal-World, an antievolution resolution was introduced in the Kansas House of Representatives on February 15, 2005. The sponsor is Representative Mary Pilcher-Cook (R-Shawnee), who said that the proposed resolution, which is nonbinding, was meant to promote "objectivity in science education."
Kansans Brace for Fight over Evolution in 2005
As predicted, the balance of power on the Kansas Board of Education [Link is broken] tilted in favor of anti-evolutionists after the November 2, 2004, election. When Kathy Martin replaces Bruce Wyatt on the District 6 seat on the board, the anti-evolution faction will have a 6-4 majority.
Speech: Jack Krebs on Kansas Science Standards
by Nick Matzke
Discouraging news from Kansas
With the results of the August 3, 2004, primary election, the balance of power on the Kansas Board of Education is likely to tilt in favor of anti-evolutionists, for the first time since 1999, when the board voted to de-emphasize evolution in the state's science standards. The board is presently split 5-5 between supporters and opponents of evolution education.
Bill Misses Legislative Deadline
Senate Bill 168 was not acted upon by the Education Committee before a March 1 deadline, and is therefore officially finished for this year's session of the Kansas Legislature. This result was expected following comments by the Education Committee chair that the bill was already "dead in the water". See February 11 news item on this page.
Kansas Anti-Evolution Bill Pronounced Dead in the Water
Two Incumbents lose in KS BOE Primaries
Two moderates on the Kansas Board of Education lost their primary bids on August 6, raising the chances the board could return to a 5-5 moderate-conservative split. The defeats of Republicans Sonny Rundell, from Syracuse, and Val DeFever, of Independence, means moderates could lose the majority they won in elections following the 1999 debacle when a conservative majority adopted science standards removing many references to evolution, the age of the earth, and the big bang.
Kansas Board of Education Reinstates Evolution
On February 14, 2001, a newly-seated Kansas State Board of Education voted 7-3 to restore evolution to the Kansas science education standards. The American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Science Teachers Association, the National Academy of Sciences, and the National Research Council issued a joint statement praising the SBE for their action. Here is their press release:

Gov. Haley Barbour said he will veto a bill that would increase the tax on cigarettes. Barbour says he does not expect lawmakers to pass it.
Barbour spoke Monday at a luncheon in Jackson hosted by the Capitol Press Corps and Mississippi State University's Stennis Institute of Government.
House Speaker Billy McCoy has suggested increasing the cigarette tax to support mental health centers.
Barbour said he will not veto a bill that gives salary increases to sheriffs and other counties officials.
The governor said he would have preferred a bill that gave discretion to the counties rather than mandating the increases.
Barbour also renewed his call for comprehensive changes in the civil justice system, also called tort reform.

Morning Update: Deadline Looming For Blake Deal

Trade Rumors
As you know, tomorrow will be the one week mark for the Trade Deadline. Teams will be starting to fire up the trade discussions and two deals already got done yesterday.
The Indians are of course a prime team to trade some people. The most valuable being
Casey Blake
. But, for whatever reason, all quiet on that front. I'm going to be really upset with Shapiro if he doesn't move him before the deadline.
Here is what has come through the
on Blake.
Jon Heyman
says both New York teams
are interested in Blake.
Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus
has the Mets
as well,
but also adds in the Twins and the Rays as the top suitors. Would the Twins be willing to trade a prospect in-division? He also said that the Indians are just listening to all the offers. Well that's sort of encouraging. I don't think Shapiro is in any hurry to trade Blake away, which is baffling and just frustrating.
The infatuation with this club and Blake has gone on long enough. He's done a lot of good things, but it's time to move on.
Tim Brown
(Not the former Raider Receiver) of Yahoo! Sports
has Blake on the list
of players the Indians are listening to offers for. But he also has Jamey Carroll and Paul Byrd. No surprise on Byrd, but I don't think Carroll is going anywhere. Jhonny Peralta's name also came up, but it would take one hell of an offer for Shapiro to give up on Peralta, especially with the way he's hitting this year.
As for Casey Blake.. He's hit in
every spot in the lineup
except lead-off this year.. Last year he did it all except the four hole or three hole(and leadoff) I believe. I'd never put it past Wedge to hit him lead-off though. He's that crazy in love.
Wedge want's to keep
Jhonny Peralta
fresh, so he gave him the day off yesterday and you could see it happen again soon. I'd imagine he would give Peralta a DH start rather than sit him though.
"We'll give him two out of the next three days off [with Thursday's off-day]," Wedge said. "It's a good time to get him a day off. There are days we'll give him from time to time here in the second half to keep him strong and keep him going."
Peralta has done nothing
but knock in runs
since getting put in the clean-up spot.
"When you hit fourth, you know there are going to be people on base," Peralta said. "I've been concentrating on every at bats. Right now, it's been good for me."
(Plain Dealer)
kind gesture
Paul Byrd to Masa Kobayashi
the other day.
He gave him a t-shirt that said "I'm Huge In Japan." I'm sure you've
seen the ad for it
on Snorg T's or someone wearing it around. It has an alternative meaning, that I'll let you figure out, but Masa was wearing it around the clubhouse.
Kobayashi is doing a good job closing out games for now, but Wedge wasn't quick to rule out
Rafael Perez
having a shot. But he doesn't
seem to want to do that
, because of Perez's value as a left-hander and not having another viable one to use in situations that may need it.
"If we had a closer who can do the job," Wedge said, "I don't care if he's right-handed or left-handed."
"Ideally, you'd like to have somebody else to close," Wedge said. "Because otherwise you're searching for another lefty who might not be as good."
You could see
Fausto Carmona
pointing to the camera with a wild smile on his face in one of the ending clips to the game last night if you stayed up.. Neadless to say, he's happy to be back and is
cleared to make his return
on Saturday.

A weekend tweet by Community creator, Dan Harmon, confirms that he is going to return to the show for its fifth season as "showrunner" by exclaiming 'Yes yes yes! I'm back I'm back I'm back!' in response to fans' persistently asking him to conifirm/deny the rumors.
Reports say that he is currently in the process of finalizing a deal with Sony to come back as "head honcho" for Community's next season. This comes as a surprise after Harmon left the show following a feud with Chevy Chase. Not surprisingly, Chase announced that he was leaving the show at the conclusion of shooting for the last season, even though Harmon did not participate whatsoever in the fourth installment.
This is also hopeful news for the fans who started a movement calling for "six seasons and a movie," when NBC announced its plans for Community's cancelation following season three's dismal ratings from the Nielsen system, which is agreed to be archaic in that it only samples a small portion of the population and does not factor in several key viewer elements (households with multiple televisions, DVR, etc.). Because of this, popular television shows have a long history of being canceled (see: Arrested Development, Family Guy, Firefly, etc.), but only recently has fan outcry led to changing the minds of network executives.
Regardless of the political drivel and antiquated popularity systems, actual fans (viewers) appear to be turning the tide by utilizing the internet to make their voices and opinions heard (read).
Cast members were also elated to hear the news, with Gillian Jacobs (Brita Perry) tweeting "E Pluribus Anus" (ranked one of the show's ten best quotes) after hearing the news.
NoteL please see the linked articles for more information on both the show and the announcement and the attached video on why Dino Stamatatopolous (Star-burns) left the show when Harmon was axed.

I am a cardiologist, and one of my patients sent an e-mail to me and his primary care physician today. That's not all that unusual in this day and age. Patients are increasingly using e-mail to communicate with their doctors, and I receive at least a couple e-mails each week. What was unusual here is that the patient wrote from his hospital room. A man who had coronary artery bypass graft surgery just this past summer was writing on his computer from the room of a hospital just 15 minutes away, having been admitted there with chest pain. He was e-mailing his cardiologist and his primary care physician, making sure they knew what was going on. This was his attempt to find out whether the doctor was home.

"september rain" Top 5 Page for this destination Agrigento by picek
Agrigento Travel Guide: 144 reviews and 309 photos
Temple of Castor and Pollux, the mythological twins born from the union of Leda and Zeus. This is the symbol of Agrigento, the place of great historical and architectural importance. That temple is on the edge of Valley of Temples right upon ancient stream.
We had spend a few last september days in its vicinity - but we came for too short. Only a few days here... not enough to spend some time exploring the city. Here we focused on HISTORY. And did some driving in the countryside on our seach for something extraordinary... very interesting it's that place of Agrigento province... full of contrasts.
Vulcanelli for example - site of Life - Natura protected area. Very interesting and distinctive place.
Nights do feel inviting. Here's the view from the ridge of 'Valley of Temples'.
By the beach, San Leone. We had one day of heavy rain and wind and after that night there were the 'wildest' waves. So clear and even the best camera cannot take the very magic of the sea in the early daylight.
- Pros:thriving activity in ancient era and geological phenomenas aka vulcanelli
- Cons:camps could be better
- In a nutshell:lie on the sand dune, but of course, first see temples and vulcanelli

Vesna, fabulous little page with outstanding photos. I have visited Italy quite a few times, but never made it further south than Amalfi. Sicilia is definitely still on my must-visit list.
Fascinating! Sicily is high on my list. Thanks for your great page.
