Abandoned baby laid to rest after mother claims body

The two-year-old infant, who died on Thursday night at the AIIMS Trauma Centre after battling for life nearly two months, was laid to rest on Friday evening. The woman, said to be her mother, cut a lonely figure at the Feroz Shah Kotla burial ground as she watched her youngest being buried.
With results of the DNA cross-match tests still awaited, doctors could not conduct a post-mortem examination without clearance from the Child Welfare Committee (CWC). Passing orders for inquest proceedings before a magistrate, the CWC directed that the child's last rites be performed as per the wishes of her mother.
After moving an application in the Saket court for custody of the child, the woman, escorted by the SDM and officials from the women's institution where she has been lodged for the last month, reached the hospital around 3 pm. She silently brushed away tears as she was hurried into the mortuary.
"When she came here last month to meet the infant, she was all smiles. She thanked the nurses and said God had given her a second chance, reuniting her with her three children. Today, she looked a different person," a doctor at the Trauma Centre said.
At 4.15 pm, the woman, visibly dazed, emerged from the mortuary walking behind a stretcher that carried the lifeless form of the child. She turned away from the television cameras and boarded a police van, clutching the child dearly.
"The child died of a massive cardiac arrest. We did not find any obvious abnormalities in her tissues, but it is likely that her brain injuries affected the functioning of the heart. We have preserved her tissue samples for more tests," said a doctor in the Department of Forensic Medicine. The Delhi government paid for the child's funeral.

Thirty-Six Weeks With Jack: Allllll of The Pictures.
Sometimes a week can go by and not seem spectacular in any way. I love looking back at these weeks with Jack through pictures because it really does show me that there's something special about every week, even if it doesn't seem like it.
We took Jack to a small group with us last night, and someone asked if he was just in a good mood or if he was always so happy. And the answer is honestly that he's just a happy baby..we hit the jackpot with him, that's for sure.
these open mouth smiles kill me // the bouncer is still your favorite // you've been playing on your own more and more // snuggling with Clifford
Making it through our first "hurricane" // the prettiest eyes! // so happy // chewing on your fingers is your new hobby
Week Thirty-Four:
You can fall asleep pretty much anywhere we go and it's the absolute best // your first time ever in a swing // you loved it // the cutest little fox bib
So surprised about something // just sitting with Clifford // oh those cheeks! // you eat real food now!
My little deer // you're the happiest in your swing // my three guys // just snuggling a scarecrow at hobby lobby
Week Thirty-Five:
puppy pjs // cutest little pool boy // sweet snuggles // you talk with your hands more and more
our little baby gator // so happy on our morning walks // my little bestie // sometimes you just crack yourself up laughing
bottle break // you love going on walks // just a little baby yoga // getting a workout in
Week Thirty-Six:
all the heart eyes, ever for these guys // my favorite smile // you're so social! // you're getting bigger and bigger, but when you're sleepy, you snuggle just like you did when you were a newborn
You were asleep in your pjs and we had to run to the store, and you woke up when we got there. You weren't upset, but you were SUPER suspicious and it was hilarious // holding onto that swing for dear life // so happy to wake up //oh hello there
These are the best weeks of my life. Love you, little dude.

Making it Feel Like Fall When You Live on The Surface of The Sun || Celebrating Fall With JORD.
It's going to be on repeat all fall long. I love that I can throw a floppy hat and this watch on with a dress and feel instantly more like fall, even though I'm not wearing tights or a jacket. Also, one of my favorite things about it is that your watch is made for how you want it to fit your wrists, something I love since I love wearing my watches loose, like a bracelet.
The people over at JORD were nice enough to offer a giveaway so head on over here to enter to win a gift certificate so you can buy your own gorgeous watch. Bonus: You get a $20 coupon code emailed to you just for entering!
This post was sponsored by JORD Wood Watches, however, my obsession with fall and wooden watches is 100% my own.

Things I Believe in This Week.
Enjoying what you like to the fullest, no matter what anyone else says. Something that has confused me lately is people saying things like, "Oh my gosh, can you stop with the pumpkin spice latte?! It's overrated and I hate pumpkin." Why is this a thing?! I love pumpkin. PSL's are one of my favorite things about fall. Sure, they're way popular...for a reason. Let's let everyone just enjoy what they like.
Waking up a little bit earlier to have a little bit extra time is always worth it. Those few quiet moments in the morning are GOLD.
Also worth it: Pushing yourself just a little bit outside of your comfort zone. I am incredibly introverted when it comes to new things and new people (something I'm trying to change!) and because of this, I've always kind of avoided having people over. What if it's awkward? What if I burn dinner? What if my house isn't clean enough, or my baby cries the whole time? What if I'm awkward and we can't find anything to talk about?
Having the new house and being in a new town has pushed me to want to get over this, and we've been inviting some new friends to dinner, and not only has it not been terrible, but it's actually been really fun.
Realizing that you're not a failure just because you didn't mark everything off of your to-do list. Or even half of everything. Life happens, and it rarely happens according to a to-do list.
Yoga. I am laughing at myself even just typing this, but I have fallen crazy in love with yoga. I had a very terrible, rotten, no good day yesterday, and I had all but decided to skip all workout-related things. But I decided to go ahead and do the day of yoga (I'm doing 30 Days of Yoga with Adriene) and it ended up being exactly what I needed. Deep breaths, deep stretches, deep focusing. Seriously, I love it.
What do you believe in this week?

Big Little Things.
Sometimes life is really great. Sometimes life is really hard. But there are always little things that are a big deal because of how they make you feel. The little bits of happiness in life should be celebrated way more often than they are. Here are some of mine from the last few weeks.

Inhibition of acid-induced apoptosis by targeting ASIC1a mRNA with short hairpin RNA
Aim: To study the role of acid-sensing ion channel (ASIC) 1a in the cell death and apoptosis induced by extracellular acid in C6 glioma cells. Methods: The stable ASIC1a-silenced C6 cell line, built with RNA interference technology, were confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. The cell viability following acid exposure was analyzed with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The apoptotic cells dyed with Annexin-V and propidium iodide were measured with a flow cytometer, while the changes of cell cycle were also assayed. Results: The downregulation of ASIC1a proteins by stable transfection of short hairpin RNA decreased the cell death percentage and increased cell viability following acid exposure with LDH and the MTT assay. The rate of apoptosis was lower in the ASIC1a-silenced cell line than that in the wild-type C6 cell line. The percentage of sub-G0 cells was lower in the ASIC1a-silenced C6 cells than that in the wild-type cells. Conclusion: Extracellular acid induced cell death and apoptosis via ASIC1a mechanisms in the C6 glioma cells.

Forza 4's $30 Season Pass Includes Six DLC Packs, 60 Cars
Save 30 percent off the six DLC packs by picking up a Season Pass.
Another DLC Season Pass has been announced, this one for Forza Motorsport 4.
It will be available alongside the game at launch for 2,400 Microsoft Points ($29.99) on the Xbox Live Marketplace, as well as at Best Buy, GameStop, and other retail stores. Buying it grants access to six DLC packs being released between this November and April 2012. The $29.99 price offers a 30 percent discount over buying the DLC individually at their normal prices.
If this all sounds very familiar, it's because Gears of War 3 is doing something very similar with a $30 Season Pass that grants a discount over buying the DLC on its own. The similarities are due to Microsoft being the publisher of both games; this may be a recurring thing for first-party Xbox 360 games going forward.
Specifics on most of the DLC weren't revealed, though we know it will consist of 60 new cars at the very least. There are plans for a DLC pack -- the American Muscle car pack -- to be released on day one alongside the game; buying the Season Pass grants access to it as an added bonus. Included are the following cars: 1965 Pontiac GTO, 1968 Pontiac Firebird, 1970 Buick GSX, 1970 Dodge Cornet Super Bee, 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS, 1969 Shelby GT500 428CJ, 1971 Plymouth GTX 426 Hemi, 1967 Dodge Cornet W023, 1968 Dodge Dart HEMI Super Stock, and 1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt.
Today's announcement also notes that the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is among the tracks in Forza 4.
A Forza 4 demo is planned for release on October 3 for Xbox Live Gold members. Non-Gold members will get it on October 7.

Its days from the launch of this game, where is the review, where even is an article mentioning the Demo release!?!?!? I see why no one comes here anymore, 1up is dead! :(
WhyPosted: Sep 22, 2011 12:00AM PST by Wakkawipeout
isn't this on the disc? they're basically telling us an extra $30 plus $60 for the game gets us the full experience. It's not even like Mortal Kombat's season pass because we didn't really know what was coming out beforehand.
---Posted: Sep 22, 2011 12:00AM PST by mcmax3000
It's not on the disc because they probably haven't created most of the content yet considering the majority of it isn't coming out until next year.
And it's optional content so you don't need to pay anything extra for the "full experience". Considering the game is once again shipping on two discs & contains 500+ cars, it's not like the boxed product is lacking in the car department.

At the age of 17, Kiran got his first shot at acting when he answered an advertisement in the back of Time Out for Red Budha Theatre. Taking a main part as a mime, he travelled with the company around Italy for three months, before returning to London and starting to take classes in mime. After he finished his schooling, he began working in experimental theatre to develop his skills in mime and movement before moving into the film industry.
Kiran's stuntsman potential was first recognized by Hollywood swordsmaster Bob Anderson while working on the Jodie Foster and David Niven film Candleshoe. Kiran was the stand-in for a child actor when Anderson suggested that he also act as her stunt double. This launched a career which has seen him work with acclaimed stunt coordinators Vic Armstrong, Paul Weston and Dinny Powell in films, including Aliens, The Golden Compass, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and James Bond film The World Is Not Enough.
Kiran's acting career took off around the same time when he was cast in The People that Time Forgot after he was spotted at Pinewood Studios by director John Dark. Since then he has played characters such as evil henchman Blunder in Ridley Scott's Legend – for which he did his own stunts – and Abu in Raiders of the Lost Ark. He trained in the whip and the heavy axe to take the role of Ginarrbrik, the White Witch's sleigh driver, in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
Although he missed out on the part of R2D2 when Kenny Baker decided to reprise the role, he later played an ewok in Return of the Jedi. He is returning to the Star Wars franchise in the eagerly awaited The Force Awakens as Teedo, a scavenger on the planet Jakku.
His greatest achievement to date has been his work on The Lord of the Rings.

United States Patent ice U.S. CL 250-199 7 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Light waves carrying signals are grouped such a way that those signals associated with each of groups may be caused to pass through a selected part 0:" a receiving telescope system in common.
This invention relates to light communication systems, i.e., communication systems employing light waves as the principal medium of communication. More spezifically, this invention relates to light communication systems suitable for the multiplex transmission of signals, whether the signals be audible or video or of other types.
Advances in the field of laser technology have made available extremely intense, sharply-focused, low-noise light beams which may be suitable for communicaton, for industrial purposes and for other purposes. These developments have stimulated keen interest in a light communication system which would achieve, in general, the same objectives and produce the same results as are available in conventional radio communication systems, especially if such a light communication system can be made practical and economical in the cost of the equipment and in the cost of rendering service over such a system. Moreover, such a system would be commercially even more attractive if it could handle a plurality of light channels simultaneously between two of more sites and it would be still more attractive commercially if it could handle large volumes of traffic.
In conventional radio communication systems operating, for example, in the microwave region, prevention of undesired radio interference between the multiplexed channels transmitted simultaneously over separate radio carrier waves has been attained essentially by severely defining the segments of the frequency spectrum occupied by the respective radio frequency bands upon which the signals have been modulated. In other words, the respective radio carrier bands of frequencies have been multiplexed on a frequency division basis. That is, the radio bands of frequencies were so arranged that the frequency components of each band did not overlap the frequency components of the bands transmitted simultaneously in the same general direction between the same or adjacent points.
In a conventional radio system operating, for example, in a pre-assigned region of the frequency spectrum, which is lower in the frequency spectrum than the range occupied by light waves, a carrier wave of a predetermined frequency can be readily generated with considerable exactitude and, with the aid of a specially designed antenna, the carrier wave may be given considerable directivity. However, due to the difiraction of the radio waves even from a highly directive antenna, there would inherently be some interference between communications traversing closely adjacent paths between two specified points. In the case of a light wave generated by a laser used as a carrier generator, the directivity of the waves can be much more sharply defined. Notwithstanding this fact, lasers have Patented Jan. 27, 1970 generated strong laser oscillations only at limited frequencies. For example, the helium-neon gas laser has generated strong laser oscillations at two wave lengths, 0.6328 and 1.153; and the argon laser has generated strong laser oscillations at several wave lengths, including 0.488011. and 0.5145 Consequently any scheme to make available laser wave lengths for communication service especially in densely populated are-us should be arranged so as to permit those known available wave lengths to be used for many channels of communication in diverse directions. In view of the above it would be ditficult and perhaps impossible to provide a light communication system for parallel transmission of different channels of signals on a frequency division basis.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a light communication system in which the channels are economically and eficently multiplexed on a space division basis ran er than on a frequency division basis.
In a communication system according to the present invention, light waves carrying signals are grouped in such a way that those signals associated with each of the groups may be caused to pass through a particular or selected part of a condenser system or of a receiving telescope system in common. Also, according to the present invention, a light communication system can be provided in which the space traversed by light waves is considerably saved by making common use of some considerable part of the light paths of the different groups. The actual resolving power of a telescope horizontally installed on the ground for light waves depends mainly on the turbulence of the air and on the diffraction of such waves. The resolution power is affected to a greater extent by air turbulence than by diffraction. According to experimental results recently obtained, the fluctuation of the light paths due to turbulence in the atmosphere was observed to be about 0.0001 of a radian in a horizontal direction and about 2 to 3 ten thousandths of a radian in a vertical direction. By making the use of these observed properties of the fluctuations of light beams, light communication channels can arbitrarily be arranged to be in substantially parallel horizontal paths adjacent to each other. This can be achieved because the light waves transmitted in substantially parallel beams in the same general direction scarcely leak out of their elongated truncated elliptical horizontal cones, which have their vertices at the respective light transmitting sources. That is, the source of the light waves is in fact the axis common to the optical axis of the transmitting device. Similarly, the vertical angles of transmission must also take account of the above-mentioned deviation of the transmission direction of the light waves. In case the distance between the transmitter and the receiver is about several kilometers, for example, the bottom end surface of the elongated truncated elliptical cone at the receiving point will become less than 0.5 meter and 1 meter in horizontal and vertical directions, respectively.
In order to etiiciently receive transmitted light waves, it is desirable that the effective aperture of the receiving telescope be approximately identical in its shape to the truncated elliptical cone, as observed at the receiver device. However, since the manufacturing cost of the receiving telescope usually increases in approximate proportion to the 3rd po er of the above-mentioned aperture, a sutiiciently large condenser system can not be provided for each channel due to these cost factors. Also, if a condenser system is to be installed for each of the unit devices at one site, the whole assembly of the receiving telescopes will become extremely bulky. In addi- ..on to the economic problem of the device itself, there might also be some deterioration in the appearance of a. city which is supplied with considerable numbers of such arrangements.
In the system according to the present invention, the above-mentioned defect can be obviated by use of a single telescope of wide aperture at a receiving point for the simultaneous reception of a number of light beams. This may be accomplished by causing the light beams from the contiguous transmitters to pass through the common telescope and to be focused on corresponding mitted light beams are positioned so closely that the receiving telescope can not resolve the several light beams, then each of the light beams associated with different groups may be directed to its own individual receiving telescope and, by virtue of the directivity of its associated collimator. the light beam directed to such tele-- scope will not reach any other receiving telescope. therefore, a single receiving telescope does not receive two unresolvable light beams simultaneously. By suitably interspersing the receiving telescopes and collimators in predetermined patterns or locations with respect to the different groups of signals, as will be described later, a sufficient number of light communication channels can be adequately handled within a rather small space occupied by the equipment as a whole.
The invention will be better understood from the following description when considered with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 shows, partly in section, a side view of a receiving telescope of a communication system according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 shows schematically a perspective view of alight detector for a device such as in FIG. 1;

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing a form of channel arrangement for a more generalized embodiment of transmitter-receiver matrices of the present invention;

Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a reflecting telescope which may be used as a receiving means in a light communication system. The reflecting telescope includes a concave mirror 11 having a focal length f, this mirror being supported at one end of a supporting means 12 so as to be pointed in an arbitrary or predetermined direction from which light signals will be received. A light detector matrix is shown supported at the opposite end of the supporting means 12, with the lightreceiving surface of the matrix 20 being positioned substantially at the focal plane of the mirror 11.
A light beam generally defined by line 13 falling upon the mirror 11 is so directed as to roduce an optical image generally defined by line 14 on the light-receiving surface of the matrix 20. The image 14 may be confined within a distance fo from the optical axis 15 of the mirror 11, and within the diameter f8 on the focal plane of mirror 11, where the average angle formed between the light beam 13 and the optical axis 15 is defined as I, and the average of fluctuation angle as 0;. As has been mentioned above, the average fluctuation angle 0, is about 1 to 3x10- radians, an angle which is far greater than the limit, 0.6lx(wave length)/(radius of a mirror), determined by the diffraction phenomena and which does not become appreciably greater than the spherical aberration of the reflex mirror even if the value of d is made large. Therefore, by making the angle formed between the adjacent two light sources greater than 28 two difl'erent images 14 and 14' can clearly be distinguished and separated on the receiving surface of the matrix 20. There will then be no interference between the signals borne by beam 14 and'those signals borne by beam 14'.
Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown an enlarged perspective view of an example of the light detector matrix 20 of FIG. 1. The FIG. 2 arrangement would include a plurality of unit detectors, such as 21, arranged in matrix form, only one of which is shown cut away so as to il' lu'strate more clearly the internal structure thereof. Each of the unit detectors of the matrix contains a so-cailed photo-electric diode 22 having a pm junction or a. p-i-n junction of semiconductors, whose photosensitive surface 23 receives the light beam having passed through a.- view iris such as 24 provided at the front face. The reflected or scattered light component, which has not been absorbed by the photosensitive surface 23, is preferably absorbed by the internal wall structure of a housing 25.
Hence the light component transmitted to the unit detector 21 will not leak out of the housing 25 of the unit detector 21.The housing 25 may be made of a metal plate, for example, for effectively separating the diode 23 from all adjacent corresponding diodes of the matrix, the separation to be accomplished not only optically but also electrically. I
In view of the foregoing disclosures of FIGS. 1 and 2, it will be understood that, according to the principle of the present invention, light beams transmitted from transmitters located in the slightly divergent directions can be received by means of a matrix of a single telescope to produce or re-transmit a plurality of signals associated with and corresponding to different communication channels, such signals to be subsequently detected or demodulated.
In FIG. 3, there is shown an example of a larger scale light communication system depicted to further illustrate the above-mentioned principle. Transmitter-receiver matrices 40 and 40' may be respectively installed, for example, on the roofs of buildings 30 and 30'. The buildings 30 and 30' were preferably selected because they face each other a few kilometers apart. Communications are carried out by coupling these matrices with each other via the many and varied groups of light beams 13 (six of which are illustratively shown by dotted lines).
Referring to FIG. 4, there are shown a plurality of rectangles as an example of the arrangement of the light receivers generally designated 10, each of which is similar to the one shown in FIG. I, and a plurality of transmitter collimators generally designated 50 to be explained in more detail in reference to FIG. 5. The transmitter-receiver matrix 40 may have mxn unit matrices (m and n in vertical and horizontal directions, respectively) and each matrix may have mXn transmitter collimators sc,. adjacent to and surrounding the light receivers 10. Both m and n are arbitrary integers, and a=l,2. m; b'=1,2. n-
Referring to FIG. 5, the transmitter collimator 50 is composed of a telescope of the Galilean type which comprises: a converging lens or lenses 51; a diverging lens or lenses 52; a cylinder 53 for supporting said lenses and for preventing undesired external light rays from entering the enclosure or from interfering with the transmitted rays; and supporting means 54 having a directiOmadjusting mechanism for supporting the above-mentioned elements and for pointing the optical axis of the telescope in any arbitrary or predetermined direction. The signal light beam 55, for example, emitted from a light source, such as a laser hav ng a light modulator (not shown), is made to be correctly incident onto the collimator 5| by means thtmtasnnrsnmiwmwmw of an angular plane mirror 56 and is transmitted to a light receiver of a remote communication station by adjusting tlf fe direction and the spread of the beam for its optimum e ect.
Referring back again to FIG. 4, the light beams emitted from the transmitter collimators 50 50 t.m,a.ba 11.13! 2mm,! a,b',a.hi 50 50 etc. are arranged around a light receiver 10, for example, of the matrix 40, and such beams are directed to light receivers ltl' 101 10' 10' 103 103, 103,,
etc., which may be included in the transmitter-receiver matrix 40'. By making the space interval of each light receiver lil' of the matrix 40' greater than the value that would correspond to the above-mentioned deviation angle (viewed at matrix 40) of 1X10- radians in a horizontal direction. and of 3Xl0- radians in a vertical direction, then the light beams transmitted from the different transmitter collimators will not be incident upon the same hoto detector. This will eliminate interference as already explair ed.
Each of the light receivers 101 in the matrix 40' may receive m rz light beams 13 each of which is transmitted from a ditierent sub-matrix which includes, for example, mXn collimators SO and an appropriate number of light receivers 10 With an arrangement of submatrices which are made identical to each other, the mutually equal space intervals can be made greater than that determined by the resolving power of the receiving telescopes. Hence the light beams transmitted from the transmitter collimator SO can be separately projected, as inverted real images of the submatrix of the matrix 40, on the focal plane of the light receiver 10',- As shown in FIG. 2, the plane of the detector matrix is mounted so as to produce electrical signals associated with a number of different channels. As a matter of fact, as the diameter of the aperture of a receiving telescope 10 is made far larger than the diameter of a transmitter collimator 50, and as the from surfaces of the transmitter-receiver matrices 40 and 40' are made a little larger than 0001 times the size of a light receiver 10 the number of separate channels provided by the matrices can be made (mxn) times as many as the case of a conventional system. In other words, the space occupied by each channel is reduced to l/ (m x11). More particularly, a matrix, which is, for example, six and eight meters in each dimensions, can accommodate about 2500 light communication channels.
Although the preceding explanation has been given with respect to a light communication channel formed between two confrontin transmitter-receiver matrices 40 and 40' such as is shown in FIG. 3, it will be understood that any other light beams emitted from matrices other than the matrix 40, for example, may be directed to a light receiver 10 of the matrix 40. This improves the overall beam receptivity and the capability of the system.
In order to facilitate an understanding of a more complicated arrangement of the matrices, a diagram of the channel arrangement will now be described.
Referring to FIG. 6, there is shown a channel diagram which may be associated with and related to the embodiments of FIGS. 3 and 4. Here the general plan of the matrix is converted to a sort of side view arrangement. In that arrangement the several subgroups, each composed of a light receiver, such as 1 gb, and a group of the transmitter collimators, such as 50 positioned around said light receiver (all of which are shown as rectangles), form two transmitter-receiver matrices 40 and 40' (each of which is enclosed by a dotand-dash line). The dotted lines between the two matrices 40 and 40' sho .v the light communication channels formed between the *arious light receivers and the various transmitters. Each dotted line necessarily indicates a communication channel extending from a transmitter of one 6 of the matrices 40, for example, to a receiver of the other of the matrices 40', and vice versa. No further transmission or reception channel data is required to explain the communication features of the FIG. 6 arrangement.
FIG. 7 shows an example of a network of four separate transmitting and receiving sites for relating four matrices 40, 40, 40" and 40" to each other for cooperative light transmission and reception service. Each light receiver is adapted to receive the light beams transmitted from the different transmitter-receiver matrices disposed at any or all of the diflerent sites. Needless to say, it would become impossible to use a particular light receiver in common with a plurality of transmitter collimators in the event that the directions of the light waves of such transmitter collimators deviated from each other by more than certain predetermined angles as above noted. Only those beams which are maintained within their assigned angularities will be impressed on and be detected by a predetermined light receiver. It will be easily understood, however that this criterion does not diminish the technical advantage of the present invention. lndecd this factor serves to obviate undesired or interfering wave formations.
It should be no ed that many kinds of physical and electrical modifications may obviously be made as to the embodiments of the present invention.
The physical dimensions of the detector 20 may be standardized by suitably choosing its focal length f. This is because the size or magnitude of an optical image as it appears on the focal plane of a typical light receiver 10, is proportional to the focal length f of the concave mirror 11 associated with the same detector 20 (see FIG. 1). Moreover, in order to cause the area of the light receiving'surface to coincide with the desired magnitude of the image, another converging optical system may be added to the detector 20 to accomplish this purpose. This would be apparent, of course, to those skilled in the art.
FIG. 8 shows an 'example of an optical system which may be used for the latter purpose. Here an intermediate polyhedral mirror 81 is disposed at the focal plane of the mirror 11. Optical images 14, 14 and 14", readily traced as corresponding to received light channels, are separately reflected by the reflective surfaces of the polyhedral mirror 81. Two of these reflected images, 14 and 14', are then projected toward the optical detector 20 for receiving those images. Another optical detector 200 obviously may be employed to receive the optical image 14". Any optical detector of large dimensions, for example, a photo-electron multiplier having high sensitivity, may be used here as a photo detector. In case the images are small in number and relatively close to each other, the polyhedral mirror 81 may be dispensed with, since the polyhedral mirror structure was added to the combination merely to reduce the visual field of each of the converging lenses 82.
The combination of a separately constructed p-n junction diode may obviously be used as the detector 20. Such a diode may be mass-produced from a single water by applying photo-etching techniques well known to those skilled in this art.
Although it may have been assumed from the preceding description that the light waves have identical wave lengths, this is not essential. The light waves may have mutually different wave lengths. In such a case, a dichroic mirror having a multi-layer film of dielectric material may be employed, as shown in FIG. 9, between the concave mirror 11 and its focal plane. Inasmuch as the multilayer filrn of the mirror 90 will provide selectivity for the several wave lengths, the optical images may be separately produced on two difierent detector matrices 20a and 20b, each image to correspond to the wave length of the incident light beam.
Since a single light receiver can be used, as is meni g is i i tioned above, as a common component for a number of different channels according to the present system, it it possible not only to remarkably reduce the cost of the equipment per channel of the light receiver and the cost of rendering communication service per channel, but also to provide an extremely large number of light communication channels with relatively small devices occupying a small space. Therefore, the economical advantage brought about by this invention is considerable.
Thus, the light communication arrangement of this invention is suitable-for crowding a multiplicity of channels into a relatively small space with high precision and this is accomplished at a relatively small overall cost for the equipment. These -features, brought about in part by the coherent light beams generated by laser equipment, render the communication system entirely free of frequency division techniques. By employing appropriate refiecting mirror devices, space division for communication channels iseiiected. The beams may be in the invisible light range and may, therefore, be employed for secrecy and like purposes.
While this invention has been shown and described in certain particular embodiments merely for the purpose of illustration, it will be clearly understood that the gen-v eral features of this invention may be applied to other and widely varied organizations without departing from the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claims.

It Had To Be You (1994)
by Susan Elizabeth Phillips (Author)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
First off, I have to say that I hate this cover. There. I said it and I know I'm not the first, but I just had to do it. On to the review...
After the first chapter or two, I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep reading this book. Phoebe's past was heartbreaking and her way of dealing with the trauma of her past seemed really sad.
As the book progressed and we learn more about her years as an adult, I became more interested in the book, i.e., the football team, the players, Dan's coaching and how Phoebe was handling her new position as owner of the team. It turned out to be a pretty good read. I even softened toward's Dan after he stopped being so hard on Phoebe. It was sweet to watch the transformation of both Dan and Phoebe as they lowered their defenses and began to trust each other. It wasn't easy for them. Believe it or not, a sports romance actually brought a tear to my eye.
This is a pretty special couple and there is a ton of laugh out loud humor blended into the story. It's a book worth reading, but to get to the good stuff, you have to get through the tough times....kind of like life.
Phoebe Somerville despises and fears football and football players. Her father, who had disowned her, has left her his football team, The Stars, to manage. She wants nothing to do with it, but her father gives her a year to manage it and win the championship. Dan Calebow, team coach, pressures her into managing the team at least as a figurehead, but to his dismay she learns how to manage the team and him. Phoebe learns to think beyond her own problems to help others - including her half-sister Molly, a teenager with a big chip on her shoulder, and Ron, the team's wimpy manager.
As soon as I finished, I wanted to read it again... And that doesn't happen often to me.
Back Cover: The Windy City isn't quite ready for Phoebe Somerville – the outrageous, curvaceous New York knockout who has just inherited the Chicago Stars football team. And Phoebe is definitely not ready for the Stars' head coach, former gridiron legend Dan Calebow, a sexist jock taskmaster with a one-track mind.
My reactions:
Okay, I knew this was a chick-lit romance going into it, but my Stars (pun intended)! This was so stupid I lost 20 IQ points reading it. I'll give Phillips one star because she manage to write a couple of steamy sex scenes (though most of them had me gritting my teeth because the situations were so unrealistically stupid). Did I mention losing 20 IQ points? Oh, well, it satisfied a couple of challenges.
This was a DNF. The first four chapters were too damn depressing. Could be I just wasn't in the mood for it, but if the author doesn't have me in the first chapter she usually doesn't get me in the long run. I might try other books in this series - I seem to recall really enjoying the third book when I read it in the 90s.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0380776839, Mass Market Paperback)
The Windy City isn't quite ready for Phoebe Somerville -- the outrageous, curvaceous New York knockout who has just inherited the Chicago Stars football team. And Phoebe is definitely not prepared for the Stars' head coach Dan Celebow, a sexist jock taskmaster with a one-track mind. Celebow is everything Phoebe abhors. And the sexy new boss is everything Dan despises -- a meddling bimbo who doesn't know a pigskin from a pitcher's mound.
So why is he drawn to the shameless sexpot like a heat-seeking missile? And why does the coach's good ol' boy charm leave cosmopolitan Phoebe feeling awkward, tongue-tied....and ready to fight?
The sexy, heartwarming, and hilarious "prequel" to Susan Elizabeth Phillip's This Heart of Mine -- her sensational bestsellng blockbuster -- It Had To Be You is an enchanting story of two stubborn people who believe in playing for keeps.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:12:19 -0400)
Inheriting the Chicago Stars Football team, trendy New Yorker Phoebe Somerville knocks heads with Coach Dan Calebow, who resents her meddling as much as she despises his sexist jocularity, until they discover an unlikely attraction for each other.

Divers still search for clues in St. Simons death
There are 2 comments on the Athens Banner-Herald story from Dec 30, 2012, titled Divers still search for clues in St. Simons death. In it, Athens Banner-Herald reports that:
BRUNSWICK, Ga.- Divers on St. Simons Island will soon resume searching for evidence in the drowning death and shooting of a Glynn County commissioner.

Like looking for a needle in a haystack in these waters and currents. You'll need a 25 lb
Anchor to hang onto to clunk your way along to3 keep from being swept away- divelights are useless. You would be lucky to find something the size of the Edmund Fitzgerald down below.
#3 Jan 13, 2013
When is GCPD going to end this charade that is costing the county taxpayers hundreds of man-hours in overtime? How much have they spent "turning over every stone" when even Ray Charles could see this is a suicide, plain and simple?
If this was you, me, or any other "common citizen", this investigation would have been closed out weeks ago. But since it's a prominent resident of SSI, no one wants to come right out and say the "S" word...which is what it was. Ask anyone with GCPD who knows anything about it; see what they say off the record.
"The official cause of death is drowning"...my butt. He had a fatal head wound. If he had shot himself and then fallen onto the rocks, would the cause of death have been "blunt force trauma"? What a load of crap.
The real victim here is/are the taxpayers of Glynn County, who are footing the bill for one of the most ridiculous charades since "who shot JR?".
