I'm currently trying to run this plug-in on a WPMU site. The site is setup on a virtual server, so I have APC running. So I'm feeding all the pages and database caching through APC. However, I get very very inconsistent debugging information.
- It only shows debug information on the home page
- The home page shows:
<!-- W3 Total Cache: Page cache debug info: Engine: apc Key: w3tc_65a12d8ad523696a28266807e817a5b8_page_6666cd76f96956469e7be39d750cc7d9_gzip Caching: enabled Status: cached Creation Time: 0.003s Header info: X-Powered-By: W3 Total Cache/0.8.5.2 Last-Modified: Fri, 07 May 2010 15:44:04 GMT Vary: Accept-Encoding, Cookie Pragma: public Expires: Fri, 07 May 2010 16:44:04 GMT Cache-Control: max-age=3588, public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate Etag: 2cf2d8fce2d364a02c401f393b82ab0d Content-Encoding: gzip X-Pingback: http://site.com/xmlrpc.php Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 -->
all other pages show:

you can see right away that something is funky cause:
a. it's not outputting all the debug information (if it's supposed to)
b. it says it's using disk caching when I specifically told it to use APC (as seen on the homepage)
Other things to note, I am using the development version (as I saw you recommended that a few times), I've done a complete uninstall and a clean install and I've also tried to use the disk methods. And it will only write the homepage to the pgcache folder. With W3Cache activate I'm not able to activate any other plugins site wide. I have to disable it and re-enable it so I can activate other plugins.

Some bonds allow prepayment, others don't
Lawmaker sought to stop controversial bond financing
Poway not alone in issuing capital bonds
Among capital-appreciation school bonds that have become controversial across California, some allow prepayment as an escape hatch and others do not.
The bonds generally allow school districts to pay nothing for decades, then require large balloon payments with accrued interest that can eventually cost more than $10 for every dollar borrowed.
The Watchdog reviewed the five local bond deals with the least favorable debt ratios and found that three of them ban prepayment. Two of them do offer prepayment, an option that could reduce interest costs down the road.
The Santee School District, Southwestern College and Poway Unified School District all are locked into the long-term interest costs on the bonds. Oceanside Unified and San Ysidro School District can prepay most of their bonds if they come up with the money.
Santee has the least favorable debt ratio in the county, according to a statewide database compiled by the Los Angeles Times, with its borrowing of $3.5 million in 2011 that will cost $58.6 million to pay back over the life of the bonds. The deal allows no prepayment.
Southwestern Community College District borrowed $10.4 million bond in 2011, which will end up costing taxpayers $116.1 million. That deal also lacks a prepayment option.
Poway Unified School District's deal to borrow $105 million at a cost of $981.6 million also carries no prepayment option.
Southwestern and other districts suggested looking at the capital bond deals in the context of their overall borrowing programs.
"Southwestern College has always looked for the best combination of financing that would be the most cost effective for taxpayers. This particular financing combination ensures taxpayers are not paying anything more than 3.3 times the original amount financed," Southwestern Spokeswoman Lillian Leopold said. "That is considerably lower than the repayment amount of a conventional home mortgage."
San Diego Unified School District issued $88.9 million in capital-appreciation bonds in 2010 that will cost $630.4 million by the time they are paid off in 2047, also with no prepayment option.
Other districts have structured their borrowings differently, allowing for prepayment of their bonds decades before they mature, including the bonds issued by the San Ysidro School District in 2011. The $15.6 million in bonds mature in 2050 at a maximum repayment cost of $228.9 million, or $14.68 for every $1 borrowed.
All but $580,000 of San Ysidro's bonds can be prepaid without any penalty in 2023, an option that, if taken, could save taxpayers millions of dollars.
San Ysidro school board member Jean Romero said she hopes the district's future school board members and administrators take the prepayment option, and reiterated that there are no penalties for doing so.
"What we're anticipating is that the tax base for the homes in that area will rise with new construction and with hopefully the economy getting better and that we will be able to afford to prepay," Romero said. "If we can pay it ahead of time, it would benefit everyone. It just makes good economic sense. So, hopefully we're able to do that."
While providing an option for prepayment may end up saving taxpayer money in the long run, if a district does not exercise the option it can end up costing taxpayers more. This is because bond investors look less kindly on bonds that may be redeemed before maturity. Asked if the bonds are harder to sell when they have a call option, San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister said that is one way of looking at it.

Do you think people in their 30's, 40's 50's etc. can have a crush on someone? If so, is it still called a crush?
Yeah, but I wouldn't call it a crush. I'd just say they have the hots for the other person, or that they are secretly attracted to the other person.
Of course... they are not zombies after all, and they are neither dead, and they have feelings. They are like anyone else
of course, we're still human
A crush is called a crush because you fall for someone-- of course you can call it a crush :)
Sure. Anyone can get a crush, as long as they're breathing, anything is possible.
Of course! I am 30, married and have three children and I have "crushes". Bruno Mars is my current favourite. I try never to "crush" on people I know (and have so far succeeded)... That is potentially very dangerous! People have feelings through their entire lives. Why would it be unusual for someone who isn't in their early teens to have a momentary infatuation? Perfectly normal.
We go through our lifetimes with a number of people we crush on. I've known teenagers who hate the very idea of the term "crush". The word used seems to be more a matter of preference than anything else. On a personal note, I am forever amused by the number of words we have to describe our feelings.
I don't think 30 is middle aged. Maybe after 40 is, so I think ppl in their late 20s to like, 35 its ok to have a crush. I know, coz I got a bad one!
20s it's called 'a crush'

30s it's called 'an infatuation'

40s it's called 'a desire'

50s its called 'stalking'

60s+ it's called 'just plain creepy'
A crush is a crush is a crush. Age has nothing to do with emotion.
I admit to having a massive crush on Jeremy Irons.
Yes....had a massive 'crush', infatuation, fell in love, whatever, 2 years ago with a lovely French lady 20 years younger than me.......we so clicked, chemistry etc ..but.....after 3 months, she finished it..............hurt like hell and i foolishly, maybe, still think about her every day and night......
I don't see why not
Infatuation. In chances from a crush to infatuation like house wife is now domestic engineer.
Yes. Yes.
I would call it an infatuation...

I'm all alone but my heart is full
I'm a sunken stone, I'm thinking you're the pool
I'm lost in space, but I'm on the ground
you can find my heart in the lost and found
because you are not like all the rest
a girl who puts me to the test
so why must you be oh so rude
giving me that attitude
please don't take that tone with me
I understand the way you see
you think you're different just like me
I'm center stage as you rant and rave
it's the final scene of our tragic play
the curtains close and I take a bow
I play this role until my youth runs out
I'm all alone but my heart is full
I'm a sunken stone, I'm thinking you're the pool
I wan't a girl who's just like you
giving me that attitude
please don't take that tone with me
I'm not just another one you see,
I'm the one for you and you're my destiny...

GOLD HILL, Ore. — A 94-year-old Southern Oregon driver who had problems renewing her license because of anti-terror laws can now legally get behind the wheel after four months of uncertainty.
Helen Mary Thomas of Gold Hill was born in rural Tennessee, no doctor was present and no birth certificate was issued.
But since 2008, as a guard to prevent terrorists from getting phony IDs, the state of Oregon has been requiring drivers to prove citizenship to renew their licenses — generally by presenting a birth certificate or passport.
After Thomas couldn't show she was a natural-born U.S. citizen, the Medford Mail Tribune published an account of her difficulty.
State transportation officials first issued a temporary license and then accepted Census records from 1930 and 1940, state voter registration records and her old driver's license to prove citizenship, the paper reported Wednesday.
"Mom is back in good spirits," said her son Douglas, who lives in Boise, Idaho. "She sounds like a huge, weighty concern has been lifted from her."
Thomas is a widow — her husband of 46 years died 1996 — and none of her children live in the area. She told the Mail Tribune in July that she hopes to drive for another year.
"I drive a lot less now, but I'm still a good driver," she said.
The state legislation followed the federal Real ID Act or 2005. The law was aimed at stopping terrorists from using illegally obtained driver's licenses to access airports and government buildings.
Now that license renewals are on an eight-year cycle, Oregonians are beginning to confront the citizenship requirement, said David House, spokesman for the Driver and Motor Vehicles Services Division.
It is unusual for a natural-born U.S. citizen not to have a birth certificate, but the department tries to work with residents in such circumstances, he said.
Thomas is in the final steps of getting a delayed birth certificate from the state of Tennessee, her son said.

One week of snow days will mean longer school days for the rest of the year for Center Grove students.
Starting March 3, Center Grove's roughly 7,700 students will be in school about 20 minutes longer every day until the end of the school year. Students will begin classes five minutes earlier than usual and finish 15 minutes later. The new schedule will make up three of the seven days students have missed due to snow and subzero temperatures this winter.
Teachers and principals at Center Grove's eight schools will decide specifically how schedules will change and which lessons and assignments teachers will spend more time on.
School officials surveyed parents and employees before lengthening the school day to be sure a majority agreed with the decision. Center Grove's school board approved the modified schedule 4-0.
"We feel like this is something we can do and still add useful instructional time," assistant superintendent Bill Long said.
Local school districts have had to cancel school from five to seven times because of this winter's severe weather. School officials have been working since January to find the best way to make up those days without impacting graduation or extending the school year into June.
Clark-Pleasant schools also opted this week to extend the school day. The district's schools will add 40 minutes to the end of the school day starting Monday through spring break.
The state is giving schools a waiver for two of the days school was canceled this winter. School districts have other options for making up the remaining days, including adding days at the end of the school year, using online courses or having school on Saturday.
At Center Grove, Superintendent Richard Arkanoff earlier this month sent a survey to about 8,600 families and staff members. Nearly 3,440, or about 40 percent, responded to the survey, and about 83 percent of them favored extending the school day, Arkanoff said.
Center Grove school board member Adam Norman said he knows not everyone will be satisfied with extending the school day, but he appreciates that families had a chance to review the options school officials were considering.
"I do think this is probably a better solution than some other ones that are out there," he said.
Other local school districts are sticking with their original plan to make up days students missed at the end of the school year.
Greenwood Superintendent Kent DeKoninck reviewed the makeup options and decided to use the snow days the school district already had built into the schedule. Greenwood's students will make up three of the days missed in April and May.
Right now students' last day at Greenwood is May 29, and commencement is scheduled for the next day. DeKoninck is hopeful he won't have to cancel more days of school, since that would affect graduation.
"Quite honestly, I'm just hoping that we don't have to worry about it," he said.

This application claims priority from provisional application Ser. No. 60/104,153 filed Oct. 14, 1998.
This invention was made with government support under Grant No. DMR-9400334 awarded by the National Science Foundation, Grant No. DAAG55-97-1-0366 awarded by the U.S. Army and Grant No. F49620-97-0-0325 awarded by the U.S. Air Force. The government has certain rights in the invention.
The invention relates to the field of optical waveguiding, and in particular to an omnidirectional multilayered device for enhanced waveguiding of electromagnetic radiation.
Mirrors are probably the most prevalent of optical devices. Known to the ancients and used by them as objects of worship and beauty, mirrors are currently employed for imaging, solar energy collection and in laser cavities. Their intriguing optical properties have captured the imagination of scientists as well as artists and writers.
One can distinguish between two types of mirrors, the age-old metallic, and more recent dielectric. Metallic mirrors reflect light over a broad range of frequencies incident from arbitrary angles, i.e., omnidirectional reflectance. However, at infrared and optical frequencies, a few percent of the incident power is typically lost due to absorption. Multilayer dielectric mirrors are used primarily to reflect a narrow range of frequencies incident from a particular angle or particular angular range. Unlike their metallic counterparts, dielectric reflectors can be extremely low loss.
The ability to reflect light of arbitrary angle of incidence for all-dielectric structures has been associated with the existence of a complete photonic bandgap, which can exist only in a system with a dielectric function that is periodic along three orthogonal directions. In fact, a recent theoretical analysis predicted that a sufficient condition for the achievement of omnidirectional reflection in a periodic system with an interface is the existence of an overlapping bandgap regime in phase space above the light cone of the ambient media.
The theoretical analysis is now extended to provide experimental realization of a multilayer omnidirectional reflector operable in infrared frequencies. The structure is made of thin layers of materials with different dielectric constants (polystyrene and tellurium) and combines characteristic features of both the metallic and dielectric mirrors. It offers metallic-like omnidirectional reflectivity together with frequency selectivity and low-loss behavior typical of multilayer dielectrics.
Accordingly, in accordance with the invention there is provided a device having at least one inner core region in which electromagnetic radiation is confined, and at least two outer regions surrounding the inner core region, each with a distinct isotropic refractive index. The outer regions confine electromagnetic radiation within the inner core region. The refractive indices, the number of outer regions, and thickness of the outer regions result in a reflectivity for a planar geometry that is greater than 95% for angles of incidence ranging from 0° to at least 80° for all polarizations for a range of wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation. In exemplary embodiments, the inner core region is made of a low dielectric material, and the outer regions include alternating layers of low and high dielectric materials. In one aspect of the invention, the device is a waveguide, and in another aspect the device is a microcavity.

The structure is made of an array of alternating dielectric layers 102, 104 coupled to a homogeneous medium, characterized by n0 (such as air with n0=1), at the interfaces. Electromagnetic waves are incident upon the multilayer film from the homogeneous medium. The possibility of omnidirectional reflectivity for such a system has now been recognized. h1 and h2 are the layer thickness , and n1 and n2 are the indices of refraction of the respective layers 104 and 102.
An exemplary incident wave has a wave vector {right arrow over (k)}=kxęx+kyęy and frequency of ω=c|k|.The wave vector together with the normal to the periodic structure 100 defines a mirror plane of symmetry that allows distinguishing between two independent electromagnetic modes: transverse electric (TE) modes and transverse magnetic (TM) modes. For the TE mode, the electric field is perpendicular to the plane, as is the magnetic field for the TM mode. The distribution of the electric field of the TE mode (or the magnetic field in the TM mode) in a particular layer within the stratified structure can be written as a sum of two plane waves traveling in opposite directions. The amplitudes of the two plane waves in a particular layer α of one cell are related to the amplitudes in the same layer of an adjacent cell by a unitary 2×2 translation matrix U(α).
General features of the transport properties of the finite structure can be understood when the properties of the infinite structure are elucidated. In a structure with infinite number of layers, translational symmetry along the direction perpendicular to the layers leads to Bloch wave solutions of the form
E K(x,y)=E K(X)e ikx e ik y y, (1)
where EK(x) is periodic, with a period of length a, and K is the Bloch wave number given by
Solutions of the infinite system can be propagating or evanescent, corresponding to real or imaginary Bloch wave numbers, respectively. The solution of Eq. 2 defines the band structure for the infinite system, ω (K,ky).
It is convenient to display the solutions of the infinite structure by projecting the ω (K,ky) function onto the ω−ky plane. FIGS. 2A and 2B are examples of such projected structures.
FIG. 2A is a graph of the projected band structure of a multilayer film with a light line 200 and Brewster line 202, exhibiting a reflectivity range of limited angular acceptance with n1=2.2 and n2=1.7, and a thickness ratio of h2/h1=2.2/1.7.
FIG. 2B is a graph of the projected band structure of a multilayer film together with the light line 204 and Brewster line 206, showing an omnidirectional reflectance range at the first and second harmonic. The film parameters are n1=4.6 and n2=1.6 with a thickness ratio of h1h/1=1.6/0.8. These parameters are similar to the actual polymer-tellurium film parameters measured in the experiment.
The area 208 and 210 (light gray) highlight phase space where K is strictly real, i.e., regions of propagating states. The area 212 (white) represents regions containing evanescent states. The areas 214 and 216 represent omnidirectional reflectance ranges.
The shape of the projected band structures for the multilayer film structure can be understood intuitively. At ky=0 the bandgap for waves travelling normal to the layers is recovered. For ky>0 the bands curve upward in frequency. As ky→∞, the modes become largely confined to the slabs with the high index of refraction and do not couple between layers (and are therefore independent of kx).
For a finite structure, the translational symmetry in the directions parallel to the layers is preserved, hence ky remains a conserved quantity. In the direction perpendicular to the layers, the translational symmetry no longer exists. Nevertheless, the K-number, as defined in Eq. 2, is still relevant, because it is determined purely by the dielectric and structural property of a single bilayer. In regions where K is imaginary, the electromagnetic field is strongly attenuated. As the number of layers is increased, the transmission coefficient decreases exponentially, while the reflectivity approaches unity.
Since the primary interest is in waves originating from the homogeneous medium external to the periodic structure, the focus will be only on the portion of phase space lying above the light line. Waves originating from the homogeneous medium satisfy the condition ω≧cky/n0, where n0 is the refractive index of the homogeneous medium, and therefore they must reside above the light line. States of the homogeneous medium with ky=0 are normal incident, and those lying on the ω=cky/n0 line with kx=0 are incident at an angle of 90°.
The states in FIG. 2A that are lying in the restricted phase space defined by the light line 200 and that have a (ω,ky) corresponding to the propagating solutions (gray areas 208) of the structure can propagate in both the homogeneous medium and in the structure. These waves will partially or entirely transmit through the film. Those with (ω, ky) in the evanescent regions (white areas 212) can propagate in the homogeneous medium, but will decay in the structure. Waves corresponding to this portion of phase space will be reflected off the structure.
The multilayer system leading to FIG. 2A represents a structure with a limited reflectivity cone since for any frequency one can always find a ky vector for which a wave at that frequency can propagate in the structure, and hence transmit through the film. For example, a wave with ω=0.285 2 πc/a (dashed horizontal line 218) will be reflected for a range of ky values ranging from 0 (normal incidence) to 0.285 2 π/a (90° incidence) in the TE mode, while in the TM mode it begins to transmit at a value of ky=0.187 2 π/a (˜41° incidence). The necessary and sufficient criterion for omnidirectional reflectivity at a given frequency is that there exist no transmitting states of the structure inside the light cone. This criterion is satisfied by frequency ranges 214 and 216 in FIG. 2B. In fact, the system leading to FIG. 2B exhibits two omnidirectional reflectivity ranges.
A necessary condition for omnidirectional reflectivity is that light from outside of the structure cannot be allowed to access the Brewster angle θB=tan−1(n1/n2) of the multilayer structure because at this angle, the TM mode will be transmitted through. This condition is met when the Brewster line lies outside of the light line, or, terms of the refractive indices of the layers, sin−1(n0/n2)<θB. A sufficient condition is the existence of a particular frequency at which no propagating mode within the crystal exists between ky=0 and ky=ω/c.
FIG. 2A is an example of a structure, which does not have an omnidirectional reflectivity range even though its Brewster crossing is inaccessible to light coming from the homogeneous medium (the Brewster crossing lies outside of the light cone). This is due to the large group velocity of modes in the lower band edge of the TM mode which allow every frequency to couple to a propagating state in the crystal. This should be contrasted with FIG. 2B, which exhibits an omnidirectional reflectivity range (area 214). The high indices of refraction actually allow for the opening of an additional omnidirectional reflectivity range (area 216) in the higher harmonic as well.
The omnidirectional range is defined from above by the normal incidence band edge ωh[(kx=π/a, ky=0](point 220), and below by the intersection of the top of the TM allowed band edge with the light line ω1[kx=π/a,ky=ω1/c](point 222).
The exact expression for the band edges is
where kx (α)={square root over ([ωnα/c]2−ky 2)}(α=1,2) and
A dimensionless parameter used to quantify the extent of the omnidirectional reflection range is the range to midrange ratio defined as [ωh−ω1)/1/2(ωh+ω1). FIG. 3 is a a plot of this ratio as a function of n2/n1 and n1/n0 where ωh and ω1 are determined by solutions of Eq. 3 with quarter wave layer thickness, and n1>n2. The contours in this figure represent various equi-omnidirectional ranges for different material index parameters and could be useful for design purposes. The ratio for the exemplary materials is approximately 45% (n1/n2=2.875, n2/n0=1.6), and it is located at the intersection of the dashed lines at point 300.
It may also be useful to have an approximate analytical expression for the extent of the gap. This can be obtained by setting cos[kx (1)h1−kx (2)h2]≡1 in Eq. 3. It is found that that for a given incident angle θ0, the approximate width in frequency is
At normal incidence there is no distinction between TM and TE modes. At increasingly oblique angles the gap of the TE mode increases, whereas the gap of the TM mode decreases. In addition, the center of the gap shifts to higher frequencies. Therefore, the criterion for the existence of omnidirectional reflectivity can be restated as the occurrence of a frequency overlap between the gap at normal incidence and the gap of the TM mode at 90°. Analytical expressions for the range to midrange ratio can be obtained by setting
Moreover, the maximum range width is attained for thickness values that are not equal to the quarter wave stack though the increase in bandwidth gained by deviating from the quarter wave stack is typically only a few percent.
In general, the TM mode defines the lower frequency edge of the omnidirectional range. An example can be seen in FIG. 2B for a particular choice of the indices of refraction. This can be proven by showing that
in the region that resides inside the light line. The physical reason for Eq. 7 lies in the vectorial nature of the electric field. In the upper portion of the first band the electric field concentrates its energy in the high dielectric regions.
Away from normal incidence the electric field in the TM mode has a component in the direction of periodicity. This component forces a larger portion of the electric field into the low dielectric regions. The group velocity of the TM mode is therefore enhanced. In contrast, the electric field of the TE mode is always perpendicular to the direction of periodicity and can concentrate its energy primarily in the high dielectric region.
A polystyrene-tellurium (PS-Te) materials system was chosen to demonstrate omnidirectional reflectivity. Tellurium has a high index of refraction and low loss characteristics in the frequency range of interest. In addition, its relatively low latent heat of condensation together with the high glass transition temperature of the PS minimizes diffusion of Te into the polymer layer. The choice of PS, which has a series of absorption peaks in the measurement range, demonstrates the competition between reflectivity and absorption that occurs when an absorption peak is located in the evanescent state region. The Te(0.8 μm) and PS (1.65 μm) films were deposited sequentially to create a nine-layer film.
A 0.8±0.09 μm thick layer of tellurium (99.99+%, Strem Chemicals) was vacuum evaporated at 10−6 torr and 7A (Ladd Industries 30000) onto a NaCl 25 mm salt substrate (polished NaCl window, Wilmad Glass). The layer thickness and deposition rate were monitored in-situ using a crystal thickness monitor (Sycon STM 100). A 10% solution of polystyrene (Goodyear PS standard, 110,000 g/mol) in toluene was spin cast at 1000 RPM onto the tellurium coated substrate and allowed to dry for a few hours, the polymer layer thickness is 1.65±0.09 μm . The nine layer film sequence was Te/PS/Te/PS/Te/PS/Te/PS/Te.
The optical response of this particular multilayer film was designed to have a high reflectivity region in the 10 to 15 μm range for any angle of incidence (in the experiment we measure from 0° to 80°). The optical response at oblique angles of incidence was measured using a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (Nicolet 860) fitted with a polarizer (ZnS SpectraTech) and an angular reflectivity stage (VeeMax by SpectraTech). At normal incidence, the reflectivity was measured using a Nicolet Infrared Microscope. A freshly evaporated aluminum mirror was used as a background for the reflectance measurements.
FIG. 4 is a series of graphs showing the calculated (solid line) and measured (dashed line) reflectance (%) as a function of wavelength for TM and TE modes at normal, 45°, and 80° angles of incidence, thus showing an omnidirectional reflectivity band. FIG. 4 illustrates the good agreement between the calculated and measured reflectance spectra. The calculations were done using the transfer matrix method described in F. Abeles, Ann. De Physique 5, 706 (1950), incorporated herein by reference, using the film parameters.
The regimes of high reflectivity at the different angles of incidence overlap, thus forming a reflective range of frequencies for light of any angle of incidence. The frequency location of the omnidirectional range is determined by the layer thickness and can be tuned to meet specifications. The range is calculated from Eq. 6 to be 5.6 μm and the center wavelength is 12.4 μm corresponding to a 45% range to midrange ratio shown in dashed lines in FIG. 3 for the experimental index of refraction parameters. These values are in agreement with the measured data. The calculations are for lossless media and therefore do not predict the PS absorption band at˜13 and 14 microns. The PS absorption peak is seen to increase at larger angles of incidence for the TM mode, and decrease for the TE mode.
The physical basis for this phenomena lies in the relation between the penetration depth and the amount of absorption. The penetration length is ξ∝Im(1/K), with K the Bloch wave number. It can be shown that ξ is a monotonically increasing function of the incident angle for the TM mode of an omnidirectional reflector, and is relatively constant for the TE mode. Thus, the TM mode penetrates deeper into the structure at increasing angles of incidence and is more readily absorbed, as is shown in the table of FIG. 5. The magnitude of the imaginary part of the Bloch wave number for a mode lying in the gap is related to its distance from the band edges. This distance increases in the TE mode due to the widening of the gap at increasing angles of incidence and decreases in the TM mode due to the shrinking of the gap.
The PS-Te structure does not have a complete photonic bandgap. Its omnidirectional reflectivity is due instead to the restricted phase space available to the propagating states of the system. The materials and processes were chosen for their low cost and applicability to large area coverage. In addition to omnidirectionality, the measurements show that a polymer, while lossy in the infrared, can still be used for reflection applications without a considerable sacrifice of performance. The possibility of achieving omnidirectional reflectivity itself is not associated with any particular choice of materials and can be applied to many wavelengths of interest. The structure of the invention offers metallic-like omnidirectional reflectivity for a wide range of frequencies, and at the same time is of low loss. In addition, it allows the flexibility of frequency selection.
In accordance with the invention, the confinement of light in cavities and wave guides using an omnidirectional multilayer film will now be described. The multilayer film structure has been described in co-pending applications Ser. No. 09/253,379 now U.S Pat. No. 6,130,780 filed Feb. 19, 1999 and Ser. No. 09/267,854 filed Mar. 12, 1999, of common assignee, and incorporated herein by reference. Specifically, a method is presented for creating very low loss broad band optical fibers, which are capable of transmitting around Rha* bends. In addition, a design is presented for improving the delivering power of a near field optical fiber tip.
FIG. 6A is a simplified block diagram cross section of an exemplary structure 600. FIG. 6B is a corresponding cross section radial index of refraction profile of the structure 600. The structure consists of concentric cylindrical layers 604-616 with alternating indices of refraction n1, n2 centered on a core 602 of low dielectric material n0, such as air. The radius of the core is h0 and the layer thicknesses are h1, h2. Note that an exemplary embodiment would involve each layer consisting of different material and corresponding different layer thickness. The parameters of the multilayer film are chosen such that light from any incident angle and polarization is completely reflected by the multilayer for the range of signal frequencies.
For example, for values of n0, n1, n2, h1, and h2 as in FIG. 2B, light can be guided for any frequency within the two broadband omnidirectional reflection ranges 214 and 216. As is generally the case, the electromagnetic radiation will be multi-mode or single-mode depending on the size of the region in which it is confined. Thus, within each broadband range the electromagnetic radiation can be multi-mode or single mode depending on the size of the inner core region. For large core radii, the light will be multi-mode and for very small radii the light will be single mode.
Conventional optical fibers confine a propagating EM pulse by total internal reflection where the electromagnetic (EM) wave travels through a high index fiber core surrounded by low-index cladding. In accordance with the invention, the method of confinement in the Omniguide™ waveguide structure is the polarization independent omnidirectional reflectance of EM waves at the walls of the hollow fiber. The advantages of this mode of confinement are numerous.
There is very low loss associated with material absorption since the wave travels essentially through air, which is extremely low loss when compared with any dense medium. This enables low loss propagation which is of importance in basically every device that involves light guiding for communication, lasers and more.
Conventional optical communication fibers need amplification to compensate for absorption losses in the material, and to this end, the fiber is periodically doped with erbium. The use of erbium severely limits the bandwidth of the fiber. Since the structure of the invention is very low loss and does not need amplification, orders of magnitude increase in the usable bandwidth is possible. In addition, the omnidirectional multilayer structure provides a strong confinement mechanism and will propagate signals around very sharp bends as demonstrated in other systems with strong confinement mechanisms.
Such a multilayer coated fiber will also be important for improving the delivering power of a fiber tip in a near-field scanning optical microscope. The tip is used to deliver optical power with a spot size far smaller than the wavelength of light. Metal coating is currently employed in order to confine light to such a small length scale. Metal coatings have material absorption losses, which in this case limits the maximum delivery power. The fiber tip with a multilayer coating overcomes this problem since it is essentially lossless.
The ultimate goal is to create a hollow structure with walls made of a multilayer coating in accordance with the structure described heretofore. The structure may be of, but is not limited to, a cylindrical geometry. One method to produce such a structure is to take a thin wall hollow fiber made of glass or polymer and coat it with alternating layers of dielectrics. The layers could be made of a polymer or glass as the low refractive index component, and Germanium or Tellurium as the high index material. One would then take the fiber and evaporate a layer of prescribed thickness using a thermal evaporator or sputtering device. The subsequent low index layer would be deposited by dipping the fiber in a dilute solution of the polymer, or by evaporating a monomer followed by a rapid polymerization.
Another exemplary method would be the coextrusion of the entire structure using a combination of immiscible polymers, one loaded with a high index component in a fine powder form the other without additives as in FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a cross section of a simplified schematic diagram of a coextrusion assembly 700 in accordance with the invention. An extruding device 702 provides a structure 704 of alternating layers of high and low index polymer surrounding an air core 706.
Although the present invention has been shown and described with respect to several preferred embodiments thereof, various changes, omissions and additions to the form and detail thereof, may be made therein, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Hi everyone
I've been using this handlebars for some months now $(KGrHqNHJCUFCmTk5n47BQyLJN6swQ~~60_12.JPG
They are not the best design in the world, as they sometimes come loose, and one time they were loose enough one of the quick release clamps broke as I put pressure on the handlebars.
Trans-x don't make them anymore, nor spare parts but I would like to repair them.
Problem is, it's a push button mechanism for release. I can't find any quick release clamps with push buttons.
So, has anyone seen any anywhere?Quick release clamp.jpg

text: So I am doing a race in July called the Crusher in the Tushar. It's 70 miles long with 11,000 ft of elevation gain. It's on a mix of dirt, gravel, and asphalt. I am mulling over tire choices for my cyclocross rig. I am going to do the race tubeless. I currently have Schwalbe Sammy Slicks as my tire, but I don't get enough traction when I encounter gravel and bigger rocks. I am currently looking at Stan's Raven, Clement LAS, and Clement X'Plor USH as options for tires. Any input on which one I should go with? My main worry is the 4,000 foot climb I have to descend and then climb - the road is pretty gnarly - gravel, washboard, and 16% grades. Thanks for your help!

Leaders of airports in Meridian and Hattiesburg-Laurel are working with a consultant who specializes in smaller airport service to make presentations to the larger commercial airlines.
Meridian Airport Authority President Tom Williams said he believes the two airports can make a case for service to one of the larger carriers.
Both airports are trying to replace service provided by Silver Airways.
Silver Airways last week provided the U.S. Department of Transportation with a required 90-day notice of intent to discontinue service between Atlanta and Meridian and four other communities, including Muscle Shoals in Alabama and Greenville, Hattiesburg-Laurel and Tupelo in Mississippi.
Silver Airways replaced Delta Air Lines as the Meridian Regional Airport carrier in 2012 after Delta pulled out of the Meridian, Laurel-Hattiesburg and Tupelo markets.

GF is upper crust and you pay for what you get. I love FW but it is aways from the parks but Disney bus will take you anywhere on Disney. I would rent a couple of the cabins, but that is me.
GF is upper crust and you pay for what you get. I love FW but it is aways from the parks but Disney bus will take you anywhere on Disney. I would rent a couple of the cabins, but that is me.
When do you plan to travel? Month? Year? How many nights? That gives us a bit of idea for pricing. Many people have three or more years between WDW visits and begin planning pretty far out, so it's possible to extrapolate pricing based on season, year and current prices.
What is the composition of your group? How many adults (age 18 and over) and children. What are the ages of the children at the time of the WDW visit?
If it's necessary to book two suites, what would be the configuration of the adults and children? The grand villas are wonderful (sleep 12), but are limited and tend to be booked pretty far out during some periods of the year.
Airfare. That's a tough one these days. Our UK members can help best with that, but pricing is hard to predict at this point.
Just my opinion but I wouldn't base my resort choice on the location (as in if it's closest to MK). All resorts have transportation that take you to all the parks. I've stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge which is furthest from MK but once you get on the bus it doesnt' seem that long. Pick a place based on your budget & your personal taste in style & theming. There are so many great ones! You may want to do a midline priced resort (moderate) & that way not so much of your money is going for room & you'll have more to spend on shopping or food or doing other activities. You really should research the resorts perhaps on this site & look at lots of pictures so you can get an idea. They all have wonderful pools too!

Jim Souder's June 16 letter, "Why are bicycles not taxed?" rang a bell for me. I, as a driver and a cyclist, also don't like to see a cyclist blast through a stop sign. When I bike, I slow down, look both ways and cross, just as many motorists do. And I agree, although it is legal, that bikes should not be on sidewalks. But I think it is safer for children to ride a bike on sidewalks.
Souder also wants to know why cyclists aren't taxed. Every person I know who rides also drives a car. Therefore, they are taxed. Also, money for roads is a part of our property tax. This means that we all pay for roads.
Repair of roads was another item concerning him. A major damaging element for roads is vehicle weight. Bicycles are light and cause little damage. Some motorists use studded tires in the winter. State highway officials have determined that studded tires do much more damage to roads than regular tires. I have never seen a bike with studded tires.
The roads are public property. We all own them. Bikes, cars, horse-drawn wagons, buses and walkers all have a right to use the roadways.

Buffalo Bills
Brian Galliford of Buffalo Rumblings projects the depth chart as it stands before free agency and training camp.
The Bills are the 10th most difficult team to support in all of professional sports, according to a new study by On Numbers, which ranked 122 pro franchises in baseball, football, basketball and hockey.
Miami Dolphins
In an interview on Miami's 7 Sports Xtra on Sunday, Drew Rosenhaus, the agent for Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw, said his client was open to joining the Dolphins.
Wide receiver Davone Bess talked about his newly formed foundation, which will support high school programs in South Florida.
Identifying potential busts heading into the 2011 season, The Phinsider selects first-round pick Mike Pouncey as someone who might not live up to expectations.
New England Patriots
Among the 10 questions Shalise Manza Young is asking this offseason is who will step up at receiver for the Patriots.
Do the Patriots expect rookie Nate Solder to be the starter at left tackle from day one? ESPNBoston.com's Mike Reiss weighs in.
New York Jets
The New York Post's Steve Serby sits down with Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez for a wide-ranging interview. Sanchez on the lockout and whether it hurt or helped the Jets: "I think it hurt every team. I think it hurt us maybe less than other teams. I think it hurt the teams that made it to the championship games maybe less. I think if it hurt one team the least, it's probably been the Packers. They got everybody back, they don't have the free agents like we have."

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WJLA) - Sixteen-year-old Libby Hanley of Alexandria is giving new meaning to the term, "pillow talk."
"I would wake up and I would have texts from friends and they would be like 'What? Huh? What are you saying?'" she explained.
"I don't know how this is happening," Hanley admitted while eyeing her cell-phone. "I would rather not do it, obviously."
Hanley's middle-of-the-night notes usually consist of things she was thinking about before bed, but not necessarily wanting to share with others. Other times, they're just gibberish.
"I do have my phone on lock, but it's almost second nature now because I use it so much," she said of her surprising ability to text while asleep.
American University senior Joni Agronin suffers from the same sleep texting phenomenon. It started when she started college.
"It is weird to wake up in the morning and see it and be like, "I don't remember sending that," she said.
Agronin admits that as a busy student, she's plugged into technology around-the-clock. She wakes up from sleeping and regularly finds her phone buried in her pillows.
Doctor Vivek Jain studies abnormal sleep behaviors like Agronin's. He's the medical director at the GW Center for Sleep Disorders and says sleep texting is a type of parasomnia -- similar to sleep walking, sleep eating and night terrors.
"Somewhere, your conscience is aware of your surroundings and you reach out for things that are nearby to you," he said.
Dr. Jain further explains how the line between wakefulness and sleep is blurred for those who sleep text. Something is driving part of the brain to wake up, but not become fully awake.
"Even in normal circumstances, everybody goes through periods in the middle of the night that we wake up," Jain explained. "We are transiently aware of what's happening in the environment and we go right back to sleep."
Quincy Taylor's first sleep text was a confession of sorts.
"It was really embarrassing actually," he said. "It was crazy."
The T.C. Williams High School senior texted a girl he liked.
"I'm definitely taking steps to make sure I can stop doing this," Taylor admitted.
But in a society where staying connected is key, unlocking a cure may be easier said than done.
"Without my phone, I'm lost," said Taylor. "Definitely addicted."
And many others are addicted right along with him. A Pew Internet & American life Research study found 44 percent of all cell-phone users admit snuggling up in bed with their cell.
