Part One
Spike stares up at the big blinking letters forming HELLMOUTH over the entrance of the building. His demon roars at him not to go in but the reasonable part of his mind tells him to go in already. This is his last chance.
He tried to integrate in his old evil world and was kicked down in a blink
of an eye. Looks like a vampire as famous as him working with the slayer
is news which spreads fast. He even tried to be on the good side, to help
keeping the world safe but that doesn�t even pay the blood. Asking his
sire to help him was, well, humiliating but the sodding poofter only offered
to dust him.
The big door to the HELLMOUTH opens and a huge black-clad figure is directly in front of him. Spike raises his inner armour waiting for the harsh words he is sure he�ll receive in a moment.
�Good evening, Sir. We are terrible sorry but our working hours changed last week and we are now open from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. You�ll have to come back later, I can�t grant you access now.� The bouncer says gently in an apologetic tone.
Widened blue eyes raise to meet the ones of the bouncer. The huge man cocks his head to the side, interest sliding into his eyes. �You�re alright, Sir?� A slow nod is all Spike can manage.
�Can I call you a cab or do you need the location of a nearby bar?� The
worried voice of this man who doesn�t know him, brings Spike to the verge
of tears. The first time in years someone shows some concern for his wellbeing.
Spike is aware that he is being checked out and not in the �want to get laid? sense�. The eyes of the huge man are on his face again, studying his features. Spike tries to smirk but it gets stuck and is a grimace of painful humiliation.
�You need a job.� He says softly without disgust or rejection.
Spike nods.
�You�re able to talk?� The warm voice asks him and Spike nods and could smack himself in the head. The bouncer smiles without laughing at him.
�Yeah.� Spike croaks finally. A broken sound from a broken man.
�Did you come here to get a job?�
�Yeah.� Spike answers truthfully.
�Let�s see the boss.� The huge man eventually says, and gently grabs the bones and skin which are Spike's shoulder and guides him into the HELLMOUTH.
Part Two
The lobby is a big open space, columns and plants decorating it. On the far side of the big room are two stairways, one goes up, one down. On either side of the entrance are stairways to the next floor. The bouncer guides Spike up the right stairway near the entrance.
�When you meet him, be yourself. Be honest. Tell him what you have to say, not what you think he wants to hear. He hates liars. If he ever catches you on a lie, even just the lightest twitch of the truth, you can try to run before he dusts you. He won�t go after you but he will stake you, whenever he sees you again. Understand?� The bouncer looks intently at Spike as if he would mind him getting dusted.
The vampire nods and swallows back fear. He heard a lot of stories about the owner of the club. Some say it�s the devil himself residing in the HELLMOUTH. Spike used to laugh at them. If he were his old evil self he would just walk in the club and kill the owner, then go back and present the head of him to the pitiable storytellers. However he isn�t. He is begging for a job and fearing �he� could be the last one he sees. Wouldn�t be that bad. This is his last chance and he doesn�t know where else to go.
�Okay, wait here. I will announce you.� The bouncer says and Spike sits down on one of the leather chairs beside the black door.
�Wait! Don�t you need my name?� He calls out. The man shrugs. �If he hires you, he�ll give you a new one. If not, well, you won�t need one. He won�t get you a head stone to put it on.� With that he walks through the door.
Now Spike is trembling and wishes he had the time and possibility to make himself presentable. So, what do you do in the last minutes of your unlife? Whom do you pray to? Do you pray? And what if you don�t regret a thing you�ve done? Regretting is hard without a conscience. He doesn�t feel regret or guilt. He knows what right and wrong mean, how the morality changed in the last one hundred and fifty years, knows what he himself has done and put it in the categories of the human standards but can�t regret it. He mourns lost chances sometimes and thinks about how it could have been if he had reacted differently. But these thoughts are pushed aside fast. It just makes him angry or sad or pathetic.
The door opens and the bouncer comes to Spike.
�He wants to see you. Everyone gets a chance, he is fair to every creature. Don�t lie to him and you�ll be fine.� The man tries to reassure the dirty vampire. Again he can�t stop the shiver running down his spine by the respectful tone the man refers to �him�. Spike stands up and follows him through the door which leads to a small office. Behind a desk a woman around forty is seated. She looks up and smiles at him with kind grey eyes. A picture of Joyce, sitting in the kitchen and drinking cocoa with him while listening to his rambling about Dru, flashes through his mind. I wonder if she would make cocoa for me, too?
Spike shakes his head, tries to shake away the insanity he feels slipping into his mind every so often and concentrates on the task at hand.
The bouncer stops with his hand on the door knob and looks Spike over again.
�It was nice to meet you.� He says and just smiles.
�Yeah, thank you,��
�Thank you, Paul.�
�You�re welcome. Ready?�
Spike draws in a shaky breath and looks at the door. �Okay.�
Paul turns the knob, opens the door and lets Spike pass through.
The vampire, gaze fixed on the thick soft carpet, walks in. Seconds later the door clicks shut behind him.
Trappedtrappedtrappedtrappedtrapped� his demon screams at him, making him struggle to keep his true face hidden. He hears a heart beat, looks up to find the human it belongs to and freezes.
Dark longish hair, brown eyes with darkness and steel in them, broad shoulders under black silk, tanned skin, full kissable lips. A nummy treat. His nummy treat.
I am dust, he thinks but can�t stop staring.
�Spike?� The man gasps in absolute surprise.
Their eyes lock and Spike is unable to look away or to say something. Eventually he breaks the contact and looks at the carpet again. Would be a bitch to get the dust out of it, he thinks.
Part Three
He doesn�t hear movement, only the sound of a heartbeat coming closer. Then two fingers lift his chin and he has to look in the eyes again. These eyes full of surprise and disbelief.
�God, you look like shit, Spike! What happened to you? We thought you were dust or got your chip out and were wreaking havoc again.�
Xander�s scent engulfs the vampire. Home, he sighs inwardly, and sunshine. And slightly different� slightly off.
�Spike?� Concern blends into the deep brown pools. An expression he�s never seen there before.
�I� need a job.� Spike whispers defeated, not sure what else he could say without breaking down. Xander takes a step back. �I see.� Back to business mode every emotion disappears in the human�s eyes.
�You know what the HELLMOUTH is for?�
Spike nods.
�It�s about pleasure. The slightly different non-human kind of pleasure. We serve those who have difficult needs.� Xander says, pauses to take a deep breath. �I assume your chip still works?�
A nod from Spike.
�I decide who gets to work here. I only sell the highest quality. I don�t like complaints. You know there's only one way to get out of my office in one piece when you�re not already working here?�
Spike nods.
�Go over there.� Xander points to a circle of black-tiled floor directly in front of his desk. Spike suppresses a harsh intake of breath. No problem with getting dust out of the carpet then, he thinks cringing inwardly. Xander walks with him, seating himself on the dark wooden desk, arms crossed over his chest. Spike positions himself in the middle of the circle, waits for orders.
�Strip.� Xander demands and Spike does just that, quickly shedding his dirty clothes. Finally he stands there naked, eyes cast to the tiles. Xander gets sadder with every inch of flesh that is exposed. He remembers the Spike who attacked them on parent-teacher-day. He was a proud master vampire at that time, well-fed and ready to take on the world. An air of respect and pride around him. The chip took some of it off him, but it never deflated Spike�s confidence. He was excited to have this vampire in the HELLMOUTH. However, what now stands before him, this skinny, pale corpse, barely animated is a shame. It�s nearly disgusting. And the chip will be a problem. If Spike were to rise in rank.
�Turn around.� Spike does and Xander takes a look on his back. Pale and skinny like the front. Some faint crisscrossing silvery scars run along the spine.
�You got the scars before you got turned?�
�Face me again.� Spike did, eyes still on the ground. �On your knees.� There is no hesitation, the vampire just drops down, hands clasped instinctively behind his back. Xander smiles. Well trained already, he thinks. �Your sire trained you to obey and please him?� He asks to confirm his suspicion. Nod. The human takes some steps towards the kneeling big bad. �Look at me.� Spike�s head jerks back immediately. Warm hands caress his skin, outline the too-sharp cheek bones and smooth his too-long half bleached curls back. A warm pulsing thumb trails along his lips. �Change.� Xander commands. Less than a second the vampire hesitates and Xander has been in the business too long not to know the reasons. Spike is hungry, starving, and now he is supposed to shift into his demon features with a meal just inches away. It�s the hardest of tests you can come up with and the dark haired man knows it and the danger he is in. That is the reason why so many applicants end dusted.
Finally golden eyes meet brown. The warm hands caress the ridges and deformed bones until a thumb slides in between cold thin lips. The thumb feels up the elongated teeth. Xander knows how sensitive they are, he likes to suck them, lick them. He carefully nicks his skin on one of the fangs just enough to make one or two drops of blood well up. Spike tries to back away, a reaction Xander expects and prevents with a hard grip into the vampires filthy hair. Spike�s mouth closes around the human�s digit and he sucks lightly. Warm human blood directly from the source and willingly given� Spike moans and starts to purr unconsciously. Xander smiles, pleased. He withdraws his thumb, wallowing in the pleading need he can see in the golden eyes. The human waits a minute to see if Spike would lose control and attack him.
He does not.
�The chip did a good job to get a grip on your demon?�
�Fine.� Xander seats himself again on the desk, still watching Spike intently.
�Get yourself hard for me.� He orders and Spike�s hand closes around his own shaft, pulling it to hardness in seconds. It�s something Xander admires. The vampire�s body is in such a bad shape, starving, dirty and ready to break into a thousand pieces but Spike still manages to get rock hard in moments. When a drop of pre-cum gathers on the head, Spike stops in his motions.
�Really well trained.� Xander chuckles. �If you weren�t starving and filthy I would test your skills but I�ll leave it at that.� Spike crouches down defeated. He knows he failed and will be dust in the next moment.
Xander chuckles again. �You passed the test so far. No need to get ready to die. I know what you can look like when you�re back to full strength and you proved to be able to hold your demon at bay and to follow orders. You get hard when asked. I know you�re nearly a hundred and forty and you kept Angelus, Darla and Dru company, so you should have the sexual skills my guests desire. You didn�t get this job because we know each other, I put you through the same test I would any applicant and I would never fuck someone so ready to crumble to dust. So, Wil, welcome to the HELLMOUTH.� A truly evil smirk flicks over Xander�s face.
�Thank you, Xander.�
�It�s Alex since I left Sunnydale.�
�Thank you, Alex.�
�You can stand now. I think your duster means a lot to you, so you can keep it. The other clothes and your shoes are important to you?�
�My DM�s.�
�Okay, keep them. The rest gets thrown away. I�ll get you everything you need. Tonight you will stay in a small room with a cot and a little bathroom. You get as much blood as you want, as soon as you want it, every time you want it from now on. You are not allowed to hurt or kill anything or anyone. Tomorrow you get your new room, the rules and answers to every question you have. Until then I want you to stay in the room and rest. You are safe now. No-one touches you until I say so and tell you. Understood?� The determined expression in the human�s face makes Spike smile shyly and nod frantically. Safe, blood, shower, rest, is a mantra that builds into the vampire�s mind.
�Yes, Alex.�
�Good, *Wil*. I�ll get Mary to show you the room.�
Alex walks around his desk and pushes a button on the intercom. �Mary? Please come and get *Wil*.�
Seconds later Mary, the woman who reminds Spike of Joyce, rushes into the room with a big black robe in her hands.
�Oh, Alex, I so hoped you would take him in! He has such pretty eyes!�
Xander laughs. �Yeah, that he has. He�ll be beautiful. Mary meet Wil, also known as Spike or William the Bloody. He is nearly one hundred and forty. Master Vampire fucked up by the government. It�s a shame, isn�t it?� Mary�s wide impressed eyes roam over Wil�s body, her hands follow soon. �You poor baby! I�ll get you back in shape in no time!� She pets him, pokes his flesh to register all the damage that has to heal. The robe is handed to Wil and he puts it on, grabs his duster and shoes and waits for her to guide him to his room. His mind still repeating safe, blood, shower, rest.

|This character exists primarily within the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog continuity.
Information in this article may not be canonical to the storyline of the games or any other Sonic continuity.
Doctor Warpnik is a minor antagonist in the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog television series. He is an inventor and the cousin of Dr. Ivo Robotnik, who banished him to the Warp of Confusion for his exceedingly loony behavior.
Dr. Warpnik is about as tall as his cousin Robotnik. He has pink skin, broad shoulders, a round red nose, an overbite and a patch of yellow hair floating above his head which moves according to Warpnik's mood. He wears a pair of glasses with black frames, a white lab coat, light green gloves and dark red one-piece pants/shoes.
At some point, Warpnik was banished to the Warp of Confusion by his cousin Dr. Ivo Robotnik due to Warpnik's loony manners and his dislike of his fish. Furious over this act, Warpnik vowed revenge.[1]
Five years later, Dr. Warpnik enacted his plan to escape the Warp of Confusion and as well get revenge by making Robotnik come to him. By luring Tails into the Warp of Confusion, Warpnik manipulated Sonic the Hedgehog to follow Tails' trail, expecting that Robotnik would in turn follow Sonic. Once Sonic got there, Warpnik introduced himself and his plan, before Robotnik and his minions arrived. Warpnik quickly fought his cousin with fish until Sonic and Tails tried leaving. Not letting them escape, Warpnik attacked with a machine that warped objects into monsters, but got into a fight with Robotnik over the device. In the process, Warpnik and Robotnik were attacked by Coconuts, Scratch and Grounder who got turned into monsters, causing the Warp of Confusion to explode. As Warpnik and Robotnik got trapped, they continued to fight each other with fish.[1]
Warpnik is an absolute looney; he is downright crazy and insane, doing erratic things such as stuffing fish into his ears and having odd twitches. He constantly laughs maniacally and has extreme mood swings. He is also very affectionate about fish, passionately kissing them and giving them nicknames.[1]
Behind his insanity, Warpnik is an intelligent and cunning manipulator, luring both Sonic and Robotnik to him without them knowing before it was too late. He is also shown to be vengeful as he vowed revenge for being banished for five years.[1]

APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Du Page County; the Hon. JACK
T. PARISH, Judge, presiding.
Defendant, identified as "an officer and agent for Basic Machinery and Engineering Co., Inc.," was charged in two complaints with wilful failure to file income tax returns on behalf of that corporation for Illinois State income taxes withheld from employees for the period ending September 30, 1970, and December 31, 1970, respectively (in violation of Ill. Rev. Stat. 1969, ch. 120, par. 13-1301). Defendant's motion to dismiss both complaints was allowed by the trial court on the grounds that similar charges against the defendant having been formerly dismissed due to the substantial insufficiency of the complaints for their failure to set forth any relationship of defendant with the corporation, the instant charges were barred by the provisions of section 3-4(a)(2) of the Criminal Code (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1969, ch. 38, par. 3-4(a)(2)). *fn1
The State appeals from the trial court's dismissal of the complaints. The sole question presented on this appeal is whether jeopardy attached to the former prosecution of offenses which had been dismissed because of a substantial technical defect in the complaint so as to bar this subsequent prosecution.
Section 3-4(a) (2) of the Criminal Code of 1961 provides as follows:
"(a) A prosecution is barred if the defendant was formerly prosecuted for the same offense, based upon the same facts, if such former prosecution:
(2) Was terminated by a final order or judgment, even if entered before trial, which required a determination inconsistent with any fact or legal proposition necessary to a conviction in the subsequent prosecution."
In support of his contention the defendant points to the following portion of the Committee Comments on this section:
"Pre-trial determinations which should bar a second prosecution (§ 3-4(a)(2)) might involve such issues as time limitation on prosecutions, double jeopardy, pardon, immunity from prosecution, and the substantial insufficiency of the particular wording of the indictment." (Emphasis added.) S.H.A., ch. 38, § 3-4, at 215 (1972).
We note, however, that the Committee Comments on this section include the following:
"* * * a dismissal of a case, sometimes called an acquittal not on the merits, based on variance or defective indictment or information * * * is not a bar to a subsequent prosecution." S.H.A., ch. 38, § 3-4, at 215 (1972).
In 22 C.J.S. Criminal Law § 246 (1961), it is stated: "the general rule is that, in order that jeopardy may attach, there must be a valid indictment * * *. So, where the indictment or information is so defective in form or substance that it will not support a conviction, it cannot form the basis of proceedings which will put the accused in jeopardy and bar another prosecution:"
In People v. Baze (1969), 43 Ill.2d 298, 300, the Illinois Supreme Court said:
"Dismissal of the original indictment * * * at defendant's behest, for technical insufficiency * * *, is not tantamount to an acquittal; * * *."
See also People v. Somerville (1967), 88 Ill. App.2d 212, 216.
The trial court's dismissal of the original complaints for technical insufficiency (and our affirmance thereof) was not tantamount to an acquittal. Therefore, the trial court erred in sustaining defendant's motion to dismiss the subsequent complaint.
Judgment reversed.
GUILD and SEIDENFELD, JJ., concur.

For the transmission of an optical WDM signal along long fiber-optic links, optical amplifier modules are required after respective transmission sections. An effective method of additionally amplifying a signal is based on stimulated Raman scattering, in which a pumping signal is launched into the transmission fiber. The pumping signal may, in this case, be generated via a plurality of pumping sources; typically, laser diodes.
The set of wavelengths of the pumping sources is chosen such that all the channels of the WDM signal, usually in the C band and L band (of about 1525 nm to about 1610 nm), are amplified as equally as possible, taking into account the Raman gain spectrum (see "Fiber Optic Communication Systems", G. P. Agrawal, 2nd edition, p. 381, FIG. 8.11). A channel with a frequency shift of 13.2 THz in relation to a pumping frequency is amplified to the maximum. If there is a smaller or larger frequency difference between a channel and a pumping signal, the channel is amplified less. By using a relatively large number of different pumping wavelengths, all the channels of the WDM transmission signals are amplified more homogeneously. As a result, a flat Raman gain spectrum of all the channel levels is achieved. Such a Raman amplifier is described, for example, in the older patent application with the file number P 10048460.3.
Mach-Zender interferometers, which allow operation for launched powers of up to 2 W, for example, are often used for multiplexing the various pumping wavelengths. This requires a pumping wavelength array with pumping wavelengths that are equidistant from one another. A more detailed description is given in the publication "Namiki et al., Proc. OAA 2000, Quebec, OMB 2, 7-9". It is possible to use interference filters when multiplexing a small number of pumping wavelengths. In this case, non-equidistant spacings of the pumping wavelengths also are allowable. The power launched in such multiplexers is, however, lower than in the case of Mach-Zender interferometers. In the publication "Kidorf et al., IEEE Phot. Technol. Lett., 11 (1999), 530-532", there is a description of non-equidistant distribution of the pumping wavelengths, in the case of which a greater concentration of the smaller pumping wavelengths is provided in comparison with larger pumping wavelengths. A corresponding power transfer from small to larger pumping wavelengths is compensated as a result of Raman interaction along the fiber.
Four-wave mixing FWM occurs between the pumping wavelengths in certain types of fiber, particularly in the case of high powers and/or low dispersion in the region of the pumping wavelengths, when use is made of equidistant pumping wavelengths for signal transmission in the C band and L band (i.e., pumping wavelengths between approximately 1420 nm and 1510 nm and signal wavelengths between about 1525 nm and 1610 nm). A detailed description of four-wave mixing is given in "Agrawal, Non-linear Fiber Optics, 1995, p. 404. This arises in particular whenever spectral components of the pumping signals lie near the zero crossing of the dispersion, such as at 1510 nm, of the amplifier fiber. As a result, new frequency components, or what are termed mixing products, are generated in the case of sums or differences of pumping frequencies that are superposed in or outside the spectrum of the pumping source. Consequently, the mixing products likewise can be superposed directly on the WDM signal spectrum in the case of codirectional pumping into the amplifier fiber and cause interference if the higher pumping wavelengths lie near the smaller signal wavelengths. The signal quality, such as the signal-to-noise ratios OSNR of specific channels of the WDM signal, is worsened as a result. Even in the case of contradirectional pumping into the amplifier fiber, (i.e., if pumping channels and the signal channels to be amplified in the amplifier fiber propagate in opposite directions), the mixing products can cause interferences. This is because the mixing products produced initially in the direction counter to the signal channels are reflected by Rayleigh scattering. The reflected components then propagate in the same direction as the signal channels. In this way, spectral components which are superposed on signal channels can be produced. Since the mixing products are likewise themselves amplified by stimulated Raman scattering, their amplitude can increase in such a way that the transmission is greatly impaired.
Previous methods of reducing four-wave mixing, particularly between pumping signals, use a non-equidistant arrangement of the pumping wavelengths, in order that the reduced mixing products lie outside the ranges of the pumping or signal wavelengths. This technique is explained in "Comparisons of Four-Wave Mixing Suppression Techniques in a Multichannel Coherent WDM Systems", Bohyeon Hwang, Information and Communication Division, Samsung SDS Co. Ltd., APCC 1997, pages 648-652.
The use of an amplifier fiber with high dispersion also makes suppression of the mixing products from the pumping signals possible. However, a high dispersion is not always desired for the signal channels.
By introducing differential time delays between the channels, with division of the channels and with the use of delay lines of lengths differing from channel to channel, mixing products are also suppressed. However, this only can be achieved by expanding the WDM transmission system in a complex procedure.
German Patent Application DE 10111491.5 also discloses a pumping source with, in each case, a number of pumping lasers for the Raman amplification of a WDM signal with minimized four-wave mixing. In this case, the pumping wavelengths are chosen such that mixing products in the spectrum of a transmitted WDM signal are minimized or removed. This produces defined transmission bands of the WDM signal in the C band and L band with mixing products in between, which consequently do not impair the transmission in the transmission bands.
WO 01/22627 A1 likewise discloses an arrangement for and a method of reducing four-wave mixing in the transmission of a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) WDM signal. The phase of the channels is periodically modulated from channel to channel in such a way that mixing products due to four-wave mixing between the signal channels are suppressed at the transmitter of the transmission system. However, nothing is suggested about mixing products which impair the transmission properties from pumping sources up to launching into the transmission fiber.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to eliminate or at least greatly minimize the influence of the mixing products produced from a broadband pumping source due to four-wave mixing.
Accordingly, the pumping source of the present invention has a number of pumping lasers which generate pumping signals with different pumping wavelengths. For the Raman amplification of a wavelength division multiplex (WDM) signal transmitted over a fiber, these pumping signals are launched into the fiber via a launching device. According to the present invention, modules for the angle and/or amplitude modulation of the pumping signals are connected to some or all of the pumping lasers.
The amplitudes of the injection currents of the pumping lasers are modulated by the modules in such a way that mixing products from wave mixing processes between the pumping signals or due to four-wave mixing are advantageously suppressed. No longer existing, or at least reduced, mixing products from the pumping source therefore will not impair the transmission of the WDM signal, or much less so.
Pumping signals that are neighboring in frequency terms advantageously have in the case of angle modulation a different angle position with the same modulation frequency to reduce the mixing products.
For the suppression according to the present invention of the mixing products between pumping signals, a corresponding modulation frequency or a maximum modulation amplitude is chosen such that, with contradirectional pumping into the fiber, the modulation of the pumping signals does not lead to interfering modulation of the channels of the WDM signal.
Some variants of the pumping source according to the present invention also can be achieved by different arrangement of the modules for angle and/or amplitude modulation. The angle or amplitude modulation can be achieved either by appropriate setting of the injection currents of the pumping lasers or by optical modulators.
Additional features and advantages of the present invention are described in, and will be apparent from, the following Detailed Description of the Invention and the Figures.
Connected to all or at least some of the pumping lasers PL1, . . . , PLm are modules M1, . . . , Mm for the angle or frequency modulation of the corresponding pumping signals PS1, . . . , PSm. This modulation is referred to below as angle modulation.
Amplitude modulation of the pumping signals PS1, . . . , PSm likewise is possible. In that case, pumping signals that are neighboring in frequency terms are modulated with different amplitudes. For example, a periodic modulation of the amplitudes between two neighboring pumping signals . . . , PS1, PS1+1, . . . with 0 and 1 (full modulation) may be used. Since wave mixing usually takes place between neighboring pumping channels, at least the mixing products of two successive pumping signals are suppressed.
The modules M1, . . . , Mm used have a low insertion attenuation to avoid pumping losses.
In the case of this exemplary embodiment, semiconductor laser diodes are used as pumping lasers PL1, . . . , PLm. As a result, the angle modulation of the pumping signals PS1, . . . PSm is made possible in an advantageous way by a low amplitude modulation of injection currents I1, . . . , Im of the pumping lasers PL1, . . . , PLm.
With regard to the amplitude of the four-wave mixing, it is the case that it is all the lower the higher the modulation frequency. Therefore, a modulation frequency that is correspondingly as near the maximum as possible is chosen, up to which, with contradirectional launching of the pumping signals, frequency component signals of the pumping signals PS1, . . . , PSm still transfer optimally to the channels of the WDM signal; i.e., without disturbing modulation of the channels of the WDM signal. On the other hand, the modulation frequency remains smaller than the relaxation frequencies of the pumping lasers PL1, . . . , PLm.
Likewise, a large modulation amplitude is chosen in order that mixing products from four-wave mixing FWM are distributed over a wide spectral range. As a result, the power density per wavelength range falls and, consequently, so too does the interference power within the bandwidth of the WDM signal S.
Mixing products are produced only when there is a common propagation of signals along a fiber. Therefore, the pumping signals PS1, . . . , PSm are angle- or amplitude-modulated right away at the output of the pumping lasers PL1, . . . , PLm. As a result, mixing products of the pumping signals PS1, . . . , PSm are suppressed before they are launched into the fiber EDF and also during the propagation in the fiber EDF.
Since four-wave mixing is an angle-dependent effect between channels, the amplitude of the mixing products can be lowered by advantageous choice of a angle relationship between the channels. An angle position φ1, . . . , φm of the pumping signals PS1, . . . , PSm differing or alternating from channel to channel (for example, periodically on the basis of schemes S1=(+π, −π, +π, −π, . . . ) or S2=(+π, 0, −π, 0 . . . )), can be set easily with the same modulation frequency for an angle modulation. For the scheme S1, the angle position φ1, . . . , φm jumps from pumping laser to pumping laser by 180�; for the second scheme S2, an unmodulated pumping signal lies between two modulated pumping signals in angle opposition. The angle position of the pumping signals PS1, . . . , PSm can be controlled by the modules M1, . . . , Mm, but also can be achieved by different lengths of fibers after the pumping lasers PL1, . . . , PLm before the launch into the fiber EDF.
The pumping source according to the present invention was embodied in this case by 7 pumping lasers PL1, . . . , PL7, the injection currents I1, . . . , I7 of which have a modulation frequency of 10 MHz, a modulation index of about 10% and an angle difference from channel to channel of 180�.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, those of skill in the art will recognize that changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the hereafter appended claims.

Good morning, folks . . .
The Monday recap for those who don't get Alley Oop on Sunday.
I like it as much as the Sunday one.
I suppose this thus weeks marks a new storyline. If so I can hardly wait!
Hold on, Wizer isn't done yelling Alley Oop yet…
I like it as much as the Sunday one.
Since it's the same 2 panels, I would imagine you would like it as much. Jeez Louise!!!
Talk about stating the obvious…Umm, we can hardly wait also…
woah, déjà vu…
You'd better yell "uncle Guz", Wizier!
Hope the next story is better than the last one.
Guz wants to beat up the Wizer?
This is soooo lame!!!!
Welcome to Monday and Alley Oop comics.
Either read the weeklys or just the Sunday comic. No need to strain yourself.
Yawn…! Seen one Monday recap of Sunday, seen them all. Wake me up tomorrow only if Wizer's head gear flies off.
Hey, just the beating that Wizer is about to receive could take a weeks worth of treatment.
Oh, well! At least Wizer is no longer being ignored.
Agreed, jmcx4. Regulars on this site KNOW Sunday recaps a week. Those who get their knickers in a twist every day COULD sit easy Monday though Saturday, and then critique the bejabbers out of the strip on Sunday(or vice-versa).
Night-Gaunt49, I have a hunch most participants on this site don't care too much whether you post at 12:16 AM or 8:02 AM. Your fans will find your post.
You could, however, apply a bit more editing, to clarify some of your writing. This excerpt is an example of run-ons, inadequate punctuation, and mixed tense (from previous panels).
"Corinne uses a bi-corder to look for that transmutational energy (looking of a lavender color ) and the individual cells still contain but this tissue is dead and quickly turning into dust. It seems that the Baldander can absorb it back into its body. (What allows it its protean powers to manifest.)"
Or, you could have written:
"Corrine scanned for transmutational energy. The bi-corder chirped, and revealed the lavender color of dead Baldander cells.
She turned to Oop and said, "Yes, it's been here. Baldanders can shed and reabsorb tissue. That's how they change shape and color. Some cells die in the process. They're left behind, and quickly turn to dust."
Two things to remember.
First, your audience is not as absorbed in your work as you are, and may be easily confused. Hence the importance of punctuation and sentence structure.
Second, short paragraphs provide needed white space to make your message easier to swallow.
And now, back to our regular programming.
Just a comment for all of the prissy, sanctimonious, would-be critics who never stop complaining about art work, story lines, et al. These are comics, people! If you want art, go to the Louvre. For literature, read Shakespeare. If you are all such experts, why can't we find your work syndicated somewhere, or even published? No one forces you to read comics.
I for one am grateful to the comic illustrators and writers who share their talents with us and are able to come up with new humor every…single…day. Sometimes they miss, badly, but just as often their work elicits, from me at least, a hearty laugh. Thank you good folks for brightening my day.

Details of this Paper
CMIS 315, I have attached files the professor had included with the assignment.
You are taking a geology class, and the professor wants you to write a program to help students learn the periods of geologic time. The program should let the user enter a range of prehistoric dates (in millions of years), and then output the periods that are included in that range. Each time this output is done, the user is asked if he or she wants to continue. The goal of the exercise is for the student to try to figure out when each period began, so that he or she can make a chart of geologic time.;Within the program, represent the periods with an enumeration type made up of their names.

This invention is in the field of medical devices. This invention relates to devices for injecting solutions and dispersions into inaccessible tissues. In a preferred embodiment, it concerns a device especially adapted for injecting solutions and dispersions into tissues of the larynx.
Human vocal cords and other soft tissues of the larynx occasionally require medication or augmentation. Medication often takes the form of anesthesia. Augmentation can, for example, be required to replace diseased tissue that has been removed surgically, or it can be required to correct a naturally occurring inadequate seal between the vocal cords. Preferably, the augmentation is carried out nonsurgically by injecting a suitable paste or fluid substance into the tissue requiring augmentation. A paste of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (Teflon�) has been used for the purpose in the past (see, for example, Ward, "Uses of Injectable Teflon in Otolaryngology", Arch Otolaryng, vol. 87, June 1968, pp. 91-97).
Recently, Collagen Corporation has suggested that essentially nonantigenic exogenous collagen could be used for treating this indication. An essentially nonantigenic bovine collagen for augmenting soft tissue defects has ben marketed by Collagen Corporation under the trademark ZYDERM�. An injectable glutaraldehyde cross-linked form of this collagen has been developed for the same use and is described in published European Patent Application No. 83301135.6 (published on Sept. 21, 1983).
In such an application, collagen offers a number of advantages. For one, it is very persistent--that is, it is not prone to migration or dispersal after injection. It is very biocompatible and has the potential for administration with greater accuracy and precision because it is relatively low in viscosity as compared with the Teflon pastes. Proteoglycan and other low viscosity natural or synthetic biopolymers can be used as well.
In order to realize these advantages, however, special injection devices are required to enable the collagen suspension to be properly and precisely delivered to the relatively inaccessible tissues of the larynx. It is an object of this invention to provide such an injection device.
In accord with this invention, an injector for administering medication or augmentation to tissues of the larynx is provided. In a preferred application the injector is for administering collagen augmentation to such tissues. The injector includes a fine-gauge hypodermic needle, a rigid double open-ended hollow connector tube, and a syringe receiver carrying an external handle assembly. The needle is threadably attached to and in communication with one end of the connector tube. The other open end of the connector tube is attached to the syringe receiver assembly. This end of the tube is adapted to engage, with a liquid-tight seal, a syringe tip such that the syringe contents can pass through the connector tube to the hypodermic needle. The receiver is adapted to receive and support the syringe body and position the syringe plunger immediately adjacent to the external handle such that with one hand the needle can be placed in the laryngeal tissue and the syringe plunger activated to inject the fluid into the tissue. As injectable collagen is generally commercially available packed in single-use disposable syringes, the receiver and the syringe attaching end of the connector tube preferably are adapted to receive and attach to a disposable syringe.
The invention will be further described with reference to the drawings which accompany this specification and claims. In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is an exploded partially cut-away side view of a laryngeal injector of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a rear view of the handle and syringe receiver of the injector;
FIG. 3 is an expanded-scale cut-away detail of the screw-on needle assembly used in the laryngeal injector; and
FIG. 4 is a side view of an alternate connector tube for use in the laryngeal injector.
In FIG. 1, an injector 10 of this invention is shown. Injector 10 includes a hypodermic needle 11 attachable to connector tube 12. Needle 11 is a very fine-gauge needle such as 24 gauge or finer, preferably 27 gauge or finer. This fine gauge is advantageous for precise placement of the medication or augmentation. This advantage is especially beneficial during the administration of collagen augmentation dispersions and the like. Its use is possible with collagen because the collagen suspension is suitably fluid and nonviscous to permit its passage through such a needle without undue pressure, plugging, or like problems. Needle 11 is usually a single-use disposable needle, although if desired, a multi-use needle could be employed. The hub 13 of needle 11 is as narrow as possible to minimize visual blockage when the physician is placing the needle in the laryngeal tissues. Hub 13 carries internal threads 14 which threadably engage corresponding threads 15 on the distal end of hollow connector tube 12. Connector tube 12 has the following characteristics: it is rigid, about 1.0 to about 2.5 mm in outside diameter, and about 200-300 mm in length. The outside diameter of tube 12 is generally selected as small a practically possible, again to minimize visual interference while the physician is placing the needle in the laryngeal tissues. The length is a length effective to reach from the patient's mouth to the laryngeal tissues.
The inside diameter of the connector tube is, of course, related to the outside diameter and can range from about 0.5 to about 1.5 mm. It is preferred to have a small inside diameter, as this minimizes dead volume, which can be a significant issue because injectable collagen is a relatively valuable material. The proximal end of open-ended connector tube 12 flares into a connector hub 16 which is sized to engage and fit into the end of syringe receiver 17. A stop collar 18 adjacent to hub 16 limits the travel of hub 16 into receiver 17. Knurled ferrule 19 is pulled up over the flared proximal end of tube 12 and engages threads 20 on receiver 17 to affix tube 12 to receiver 17.
The inside of the flared end of tube 12 is sized to be a liquid-tight friction fit with the tapered tip 23 of syringe 22. Syringe 22 includes barrel 24 and plunger 25. The inside diameter of receiver 17 is sized to correspond to the outside diameter of barrel 24 so that syringe 22 can be inserted into receiver 17 and receiver 17 can support and align syringe 22 into liquid-tight engagement with connector tube 12. (This feature is more clearly shown in FIG. 2, which is an end view looking into receiver 17.)
This configuration of receiver 17 is especially advantageous for use with injectable collagen as it is available commercially in prefilled disposable syringes. This configuration allows a plurality of prefilled sterile syringes to be inserted serially into receiver 17 once needle 11 is placed in the laryingeal tissue without the necessity of removing and replacing the needle in the tissue. This speeds the procedure and minimizes patient discomfort.
Receiver 17 is attached to handle 26. Handle 26 is shaped and positioned to permit engagement of the handle by the physician's fingers and actuation of plunger 25 by the physician's thumb. This one-handed operation is an important advantage of the invention as it frees the other hand to direct light or to clear the physician's view to the inaccessible laryngeal tissues being augmented.
Another advantage of this injector is that the physician has total control of the extrusion of material. Since an extrusion device with a mechanical advantage or mechanical drive is not required to extrude low viscosity materials such as collagen suspensions or dispersions, the physician has a better feel for the injection technique. Also, unlike mechanical injection devices which may have significant run-on problems after the removal of the driving force, the extrusion of material with the device of this invention stops as soon as the physician stops applying force to the syringe plunger.
Turning to FIG. 3, briefly, this figure depicts, in expanded scale, the screw-on attachment of needle 11 to connector tube 12. It also shows a preferred needle construction in which the cannula of the needle extends back through threads 14 so as to enter the inside of tube 12. This strengthens the coupling and guards against accidental breakage and needle loss. So to, the threaded coupling of needle 11 to tube 12 gives a firm positive attachment with minimal hazard of needle loss in use in the inaccessible and critical larynx region.
Tube 12 is depicted as angled by about 90�. This is not critical. As shown by FIG. 4, other shapes for tube 12, such as tube 12a, are possible and are chosen based on the shape of the patient's airway and the physician's preference.
All components of the injector of this invention are either disposable or made of materials which can be sterilized. Usually, the only parts disposed of are the needle and the syringe body itself. The handle, the connector tube and the carrier are typically fabricated from 304 stainless steel or a similar sterilizable metal. In use, these parts are cleansed and sterilized for reuse by conventional means, thereby minimizing the cost of using the injector.
In use, the injector of this invention administers medications and augmentations and, in particularly preferred applications tissue-augmenting amounts of injectable collagen, to laryngeal tissues. such amounts of collagen are from about 0.1 to about 5 ml of collagen suspension.
The collagen which may be used in the injector of the invention may be derived from collagen collected from any number of mammalian sources. Because of their availability, bovine or porcine corium will usually be employed. The preparation of purified substantially nonantigenic collagen in solution from the skin is basically a three-step process involving solubilization, enzyme treatment, and purification. The animal skin is first softened by soaking it in a mild acid and then scraping it to remove hair, epidermis, and fat. The depilated skin is then soaked again in mild acid and then comminuted by grinding, mincing, milling, or like physical treatment. The comminution prepares the skin for solubilization.
The divided tissue may be solubilized under nondenaturing conditions by dispersing it in an aqueous acid medium and digesting with a proteolytic enzyme other than a collagenase. Dilute acid solutions at low temperatures will normally be used to avoid denaturation. Mineral acids such as HCl or carboxylic acids such as acetic, malonic, or lactic acids may be used at pHs in the range of about 1.5 to 5 and temperatures of about 5� C. to 25� C. A preferred procedure is to disperse the comminuted tissue in HCl to a concentration of 1 to 5 g/l at a pH of about 2 at 20� C. After the tissue is dispersed, the enzyme is added and the mixture is incubated to permit the enzyme to digest the telopeptide and other solubilizable components of the tissue. Enzymes that attack the telopeptide portion are used. Examples of such enzymes are pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and papain. Pepsin is preferred because it is active in acid, and is easily deactivated and removed from the solubilized collagen. The enzyme concentration will usually be in the range of about 0.1% to 10% by weight based on the collagen. The incubation period will typically vary from about two days to two weeks. The progress of the solubilization may be monitored by determining the viscosity of the solution. Once the viscosity reaches a substantially constant level, the solubilization is complete. At this point, the enzyme is deactivated (denatured) and removed.
The enzyme may be deactivated by raising the pH of the solution to at least about 7 by adding an alkaline material such as sodium hydroxide. After the enxzyme has been denatured, the solution is treated to remove denatured enzyme and the portions of the tissue that were digested during the solubilization. Various dialysis, sedimentation, and filtration techniques may be used to effect such removal. See U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,949,073, col. 3, lines 10-22, and 4,140,537, col. 5 line 48, to col. 6, line 34. A preferred procedure is to first lower the pH by adding acid and then to clarify the solution by diatomaceous earth sedimentation. the sediment is filtered and the filtrate is concentrated. The concentrate is then fractionated by ion exchange chromatography and further concentrated to produce a substantially pure collagen solution. The amount of collagen in this solution will usually be about 1 to about 20 mg/ml, more usually about 2 to 4 mg/ml. The pH of the solution will be below about 4, usually in the range of 2 to 3.
The collagen is then reconstituted (reaggregated into fibrils) from the solution. The reconstitution is preferably done by neutralizing the solution at reduced temperatures, preferably about 10� C. to 25� C. The ionic strength of the neutralized solution is preferably hypotonic relative to physiological conditions. Ionic strengths in the range of about 0.03 to about 0.1, preferably about 0.06, will typically be used. The neutralization involves raising the pH of the solution by adding an appropriate base or buffer, such as Na2 HPO4 or NaOH, to a level at which the collagen in solution reaggregates into fibrils. Fiber formation occurs under these conditions at pHs in the range of about 4.9 and about 10.0. The final pH is preferably in the range of 5 to 8.
If desired, the fibrous collagen suspension may be cross-linked in a controlled manner to produce a viscous, covalently cross-linked collagen that may be formulated as an injection. Commonly owned European Patent Application No. 83301135.6 describes such injectable forms of cross-linked collagen and the procedures that may be used to make them.
Forms of collagen other than the enzyme-treated bovine collagen described above that meet the requirements of being substantially nonantigenic and injectable may also be used with the injector of the invention. In addition, low viscosity suspensions, solutions or dispersions of other natural or synthetic biopolymers such as proteoglycan can be administered by the injector of this invention. In general, a fluid is considered to have a suitably low viscosity when its viscosity is 3000 cp or lower at 22�, as measured by an oscillating disk viscometer which measures dynamic rather than steady-flow viscosity. A suitable machine for carrying out this measurement is a Nametre Co. Model 7.006 PBD.

You are absolutely right. These CPR advocates are like religious zealots who think that CPR is the answer to everything.
The woman was still breathing on her own. That was enough to just leave her alone and wait for the EMTs and the oxygen.
I notice that she didn't die at the nursing home, or even in the ambulance, but at the hospital.
I would be interested to know if the EMTs started CPR when they got there and continued it all the way to the hospital, or if they even did it at all but just gave her oxygen.
Where I live, you have to be pronounced dead by a doctor, so you wouldn't know if she had stopped breathing or died in the ambulance as there is no doctor to pronounce. Also, many times CPR is started because when some ones heart stops, a separate person screaming they have a DNR is no proof of a DNR. Paramedics are not there to search for paperwork when minutes count.
>> These CPR advocates are like religious zealots who think that CPR is the answer to everything.
I never met a religious zealot that thought CPR was the answer to everything.
The dispatcher obviously wanted CPR. Who are the other zealot-minded advocates you're referring to?

Product ID: 346715Super20Tenor
This is a great example of a mid-50's vintage King Super 20 tenor sax, serial number 346715. This tenor is in all original lacquer and has recently been fully repadded too. If you are looking for a solid tenor that won't quit, you can't go wrong with this sax.
This is a great tenor for the regular gigging professional. Its a great road horn, but obviously hasn't been abused. The sax is straight physically. There looks to have been some minor past dent work in the bottom bow, and a couple minor dings removed from the neck, all just minor, regular work. The neck is the original sterling silver neck with matching serial number. It has the double socket receiver and underslung octave key.
This horn was recently completely repadded, using firm leather pads and brown plastic resonators. We are in the process of giving the sax a full pro regulation, opening the key heights and setting the spring tensions even throughout. It will ship in perfect adjustment and playing at the height of its abilities.
This sax has a full voice and is very free blowing from low Bb up into the altissimo. It plays with a lightning fast response and offers the player a lot of control. Obviously Super 20's are known for having a big sound, and this tenor doesn't let you down. Projection is great and it carries well even in a big loud venue. It does come in its original case, as seen in the photos.
