cl BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a polymer optical circuit including optical waveguides to which optical fibers are connected as input- and output-terminals.
In the prior art of optical waveguides of this sort, optical accuracy should be carefully taken into consideration when optical fibers are connected to the optical waveguide. Hence, the connecting process becomes complicated and necessitates an improvement in the connections such as the use of a connector or a finely adjustable jig-and-fixture. Accordingly, unavoidable difficulties are apt to occur in the miniaturization and economization of the optical circuit.
The invention of Siemens Company (refer to DT-OS No. 2,609,143 and "Optics Communication" vol. 17, No. 1. pp. 129 to 132) may be cited as an improvement on the above-mentioned process of connecting optical fibers to an optical waveguide. According to the method of Siemens Company, an optical strip waveguide with a branching structure as well as grooves for aligning optical fibers are formed through a photoresist laminated on a substrate by means of a photolithograph process. Namely, a photosensitive polymer film substantially as thick as the diameter of optical fibers is laminated on the substrate, and exposed to a light through a designed photomask. After development of the photosensitive polymer film, the optical fiber-locating grooves and optical strip waveguide are formed at the same time, thereby attaining the exact alignment of the optical fibers and optical waveguide.
The optical fibers are inserted into the locating grooves to bring the end faces of the optical fibers into contact with the end faces of the branched optical waveguide. In this case, however, air tends to be retained at the butt joints between fibers and strip guides. As a result, the reflection loss at the contact plane becomes increased. To reduce the reflection loss, it is necessary to use matching oil in order to ensure full contact between the above-mentioned end faces of both members. Moreover, the waveguide loss becomes very large, that is, 10 to 20 dB/cm at λ=0.63 μm, and 2 dB/cm at λ=1.15 μm. Thus, it is difficult to fabricate an optical circuit with low losses. Further, optical fibers fixed in the locating grooves tend to be loosened with time.
An object of this invention is to obtain an optical circuit having lead-fibers in which optical fibers employed as input- and output-terminals are integrally connected to the optical waveguides so that they form an integrated unit, in order to solve the defects mentioned above.
This object can be attained by preparing a polymer optical circuit with optical lead-fibers which comprise a plurality of optical fibers, each one end portion thereof being embedded in a transparent polymer film mounted on a substrate, and a polymer optical waveguide having a higher refractive index than that of the polymer film, which is formed in the film between the embedded ends of said optical fibers so that the terminal ends of said waveguide are aligned with the embedded ends of said optical fibers in perfect connection; the optical circuit being formed with the substrate, polymer film, polymer optical waveguide and optical fibers as an integrated unit.
FIG. 1 is an enlarged explanatory perspective view showing an embodiment of a polymer optical circuit of this invention, wherein the framework 7 (FIG. 2) is detached from the optical circuit for the sake of convenience;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged explanatory perspective view showing an union of substrate and framework which is used in the fabricating steps of the polymer optical circuit shown in FIG. 1; and
FIGS. 3A-3E show the fabrication order of the method of this invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a perspective view of an embodiment of polymer polymer optical circuit of this invention, which comprises optical fibers 1, a polymer film 2, a substrate 3, a polymer optical waveguide 4 formed in the polymer film 2, and a polymer cladding layer 5 for the protection of the upper surface of the circuit. The substrate 3 also serves as a cladding layer for the rear surface of the circuit.
There will now be described the fabrication process of the polymer optical circuit of this invention by reference to the following description and accompanying drawings.
There is provided a substrate 3, the size thereof being, for example, 30 mm long, 10 mm wide and 1 mm thick. This substrate 3 used as protective cladding for a branched polymer optical waveguide 4 later mounted thereon and which has to be prepared from a transparent material, such as glass (nD =1.5) or methylpentene polymer (nD =1.46), which has a smaller refractive index than the optical waveguide, and is saved during the following casting step from dissolution, cloudiness and cracks all caused by a polymer film solvent. Shallow V-shaped grooves 6 for receiving the end portion of optical fibers are formed in those positions on the surface of the substrate 3, which constitute the input- and output-terminals of the optical circuit. The above-mentioned grooves 6 can be formed on the glass substrate 3 by the so-called ultrasonic cutting method, or the substrate 3 having grooves 6 and a framework 7 can be made as an integrated unit from methylpentene polymer by plastic molding.
A framework 7 shown in FIG. 2 is connected to the upper peripheral portion of the substrate 3 in order to cast a polymer solution on the substrate 3. The framework 7 has holes 8 through which the optical fibers will be inserted.
The optical fiber 1 is placed on the groove 6 through the hole 8 with the end of the fiber 1 made to contact the end of the groove 6 as shown in FIG. 3A. At this time, the optical fiber 1 is bonded to the groove 6 by an epoxy resin adhesive. Then the hole 8 is sealed with the same adhesive. As shown in FIG. 3A, the optical fiber 1 is made of a glass core 10 covered by a glass cladding layer 9. The groove 6 has such a V-shaped cross section as to cause the bottom line of the circular cross section of the glass core 10 to be substantially aligned with the surface of the substrate 3. This arrangement reduces mismatching during the mutual coupling of the end face of the optical waveguide 4 and that of the glass core 10 of the optical fiber 1.
When an optical fiber 1 has a 100 μm core diameter as well as a 150 μm outer diameter and a 1% refractive index difference between the core and cladding, the substrate 3 with the framework 7 securely holding the optical fibers 1 are horizontally placed in a dry box in which nitrogen gas is blowing. A polymer solution is cast to form a polymer film 2 about 90 microns thick on the substrate 3. The polymer solution consists of, for example, 100 g of methylene chloride as a solvent, 2 g of polycarbonate (nD =1.59) synthesized from 1,1-(4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl)cyclohexane as a matrix polymer, 1 ml of methyl acrylate as a dopant monomer polymerizable by irradiation of a u.v. light (nD in the polymer state=1.47), 2 mg of benzoine ethylether as a photosensitizer, and 0.1 mg of hydroquinone as a thermal inhibitor. A proper amount of the above-mentioned polymer solution is cast on the substrate 3 and dried for 5 hours at 30� C. for evaporation of methylene chloride, thereby forming a polymer film 2 about 100 microns thick on the substrate 3 as shown in FIG. 3B. Fine spots indicated in the polymer film 2 show the presence of monomer particles.
Referring to FIG. 3C, the polymer film 2 is covered with a glass photomask 11 which has a waveguide pattern 12 with 90 microns width. In this case, it is advised to observe microscopically a matching between the end face of the optical fiber 1 embedded in the polymer film 2 and that of the optical waveguide pattern 12 in order to ensure complete alignment between both end faces. Ultraviolet light is irradiated for about 10 minutes on the mask 11 from a 500 W ultra high pressure mercury lamp in the direction of arrows shown in FIG. 3C. As a result, the methyl acrylate monomer contained in the polymer film 2 is selectively photopolymerized at the exposed part and the refractive index of the exposed part becomes lower than the remaining portions.
After removal of the glass photomask 11, the light-exposed film 2 is dried for about 8 hours at 85� C in a vacuum to evaporate the unreacted methyl acrylate monomer remaining in the polymer film 2. The unexposed portions of the polymer film 2 which are now only formed of the aforesaid polycarbonate constitute the optical waveguide 4 having a higher refractive index than the exposed portions of the polymer film 2. FIG. 3D indicates parts of the optical waveguide 4. The difference between the refractive indices of the polymer film 2 and optical waveguide 4 can be controlled within the range of 0.5 to 2.5% in accordance with a casting time, namely, a period extending from the moment when the polymer solution begins to be poured into the framework 7 to the moment when the light irradiation is started, so as to range between 4 and 15 hours.
The above-mentioned steps provide a polymer optical circuit embodying this invention. However, it is preferred, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3E, to coat the polymer film 2 with a layer, for example, of polyglycol type epoxy resin (nD =1.52) containing a hardener, and cure the resin for about 2 hours at 60� C., thereby forming a transparent cladding layer 5 having a low refractive index.
A sample of a polymer optical circuit prepared by the method of this invention was tested to determine the transmission loss of He-Ne laser light. With the optical waveguide having the shape shown in FIG. 1, the waveguide loss was 0.15 dB/cm. At the connecting point between the optical waveguide 4 and optical fiber 1, the connection loss was about 0.5 dB. A laser light loss throughout the entire polymer optical circuit was about 1.5 dB.
According to this invention, there is obtained polymer optical circuit having an optical waveguide with low transmission loss, with which optical fibers are integrally attached as lead-fibers. Therefore, an optical transmission system and the present polymer optical circuit can be connected together very easily and stably by splicing optical fibers or by means of connectors. Since the end portions of the optical fibers 1 are bonded to the substrate 3 to be embedded in the polymer film 2, the optical fibers 1 are firmly connected to the optical waveguide 4 to prevent air from being carried into the junction of both members, thereby greatly reducing the reflection loss of a laser light at the boundary thereof, and making it unnecessary to apply the previously described matching oil.

Why do they let somebody at my previous address, with a different name cash in points that I have gained? When I did update my details they said that would reimburse the points and send me a new card, 2 months ago. Nothing.

(Judge Conner)
AND NOW, this 11th day of August, 2009, upon consideration of the motion for reconsideration (Doc. 633) of the memorandum and order of court (Doc. 582) dated March 4, 2009 (hereinafter "the March 4 order") filed by defendant Cadbury Adams Canada, Inc. ("Cadbury Canada"), and it appearing that Cadbury Canada seeks reconsideration on the grounds that it sells no chocolate products in the United States, (Doc. 591 at 4), has no connection to the U.S. market for chocolate candy, (id. at 5), did not enter a conspiratorial agreement, (id. at 6; Doc. 634 at 6), received no economic benefit from the alleged price-fixing scheme, (Doc. 645 at 4-5), and that plaintiffs' amended complaints fail to state a claim for relief under Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544 (2007), (Doc. 634 at 7-9), and it further appearing that the purpose of a motion for reconsideration is to present newly discovered evidence or to correct manifest errors of law or fact, see Harsco Corp. v.

Live Sound Monitoring - No more headphone bleed! The EX-25 headphones from Direct Sound offer unbelievable isolation - you won't h...ave the click track bleeding into your live microphones. Likewise, with the EX-25 extreme isolation headphones, drummers can actually hear the click track over the sound of their drums. These comfortable, closed-back headphones are a great choice for your project studio, but they're also great for just listening to your iPod or for blocking out background noise when you travel - passive isolation means there are no batteries to replace. And while other headphones sometimes measure their noise-reduction capabilities at one specific frequency, the EX-25 headphones give you an average of 25dB of noise reduction over a wide frequency range. EX-25s feature specially designed ear cushions, which are both comfortable and act as a superb barrier between the headphone's speakers and your live microphones. With the EX-25s, you don't have to worry about bleed ruining that perfect take.Most professional headphones (EX-25s included) deliver great sound, so the level of comfort they offer is the real factor that determines whether they're really worth buying or not. After all, if you can't stand wearing them for long sessions, it doesn't matter how good they sound. When you want closed-back headphones designed with wearability in mind, look to the EX-25s. A padded and adjustable headband lets you position them in just the right place while heavily padded ear cushions cup over your ear, creating a closed-back chamber of sound. What's more, the EX-25's long 9' cable lets you get ready to perform and monitor virtually anywhere in the studio.Here's another cool thing about EX-25s. We've all had that fumbling moment when we've picked up a pair of headphones and scrutinized each side of them for the little "L" and "R" markings before we've put them on - not a big deal, but it can be annoying in dark environments. The EX-25s make it even easier. The inside ear panel of the right ear cup is covered with bright red fabric, making it easily distinguishable from the left side in even the dimmest environments. As long as you remember "Red is Right," you'll never accidentally put on a pair of EX-25s backwards.Direct Sound EX-25 Isolating Headphones Features at a Glance: Extreme isolation headphones. Dynamic, closed-back design. 20Hz-20kHz frequency response. 40mm drivers. 32-ohm impedance. 9' cord. 1/8" stereo plug with gold-plated 1/4" adapter. 500mW maximum input power. Make headphone bleed a thing of the past with Direct Sound's amazing EX-25 isolating headphones! Headphones read more

Live Sound Monitoring - The AKG K812 reference headphones represent the absolute pinnacle of AKG's headphone technology, giving yo...u the sonic transparency and critical details you need for mixing and mastering. Engineers at Sweetwater know that true reference headphones need to reveal every nuance of your mix, not just sound good. The AKG K812s give you an extremely wide frequency range and excellent transient response, and you can listen for hours without fatigue. Whenever you need an alternative reference to your studio monitor speakers, you can trust the AKG K812 reference headphones.AKG K812 Open-back Reference Headphones at a Glance: You'll recognize the incredible quality before you even hear them . Extended frequency response - yes, it does matter. Outstanding transient response and detail from the extremely lightweight design. You'll recognize the incredible quality before you even hear them AKG understands that virtually every component in your headphones affects the overall sound, from how well the earpads are sealed to the materials used for the voice coil. The K812 reference headphones have been designed from the ground up using top notch materials and construction methods, resulting in the most accurate and wide-ranging headphones AKG has ever produced. The first time you get them in your hands, you just know you're in for a special listening experience.Extended frequency response - yes, it does matterThe AKG K812 reference headphones boast an amazingly wide frequency response, from just 5Hz all the way to 54kHz. We're often asked at Sweetwater why extended frequency response matters if it goes far beyond our hearing limits. Any speaker or headphone acts like a filter, and it becomes more difficult for the speakers to accurately reproduce frequencies at the extremes of the range - the likelihood of roll-off and distortion increases when you get towards the high- and low-frequency limits. With the extremes of the frequency range lying far outside the audible spectrum, the AKG K812 headphones have no issues giving you ultra-flat, accurate response within the audible range.Outstanding transient response and detail from the extremely lightweight designThe ultra-lightweight, two-layer aluminum voice coils in the K812 reference headphones give you the superior transient response you need for critical listening tasks. Subtle complexities like brushes on a snare drum or breath noise from a woodwind player are revealed to you just as they appear in your mix. AKG K812 Open-back Reference Headphones Features: Incredibly accurate and precise headphones for mixing, mastering, and critical listening. Outstanding stereo imaging and frequency response from the most powerful magnet system on the market. Rich, powerful sound from large 53mm drivers. Fast, precise transient details from the lightweight, 2-layer voice coil. Accurate sound even when driven hard, thanks to the airflow dome that controls membrane movement. You can mix with confidence on headphones with the AKG K812s! Headphones read more

Airport Authority studies hangar plans
WILLIAMSTOWN – The Wood County Airport Authority on Tuesday reviewed the updated building plans for a new hangar.
"The original plans were for the hangar to be 8,000 square feet and the building plans we were given are for a 10,000-square-foot hangar," said airport manager Terry Moore. "The bigger, the better and with the size, it will become the premier hangar at the airport."
In July, the board approved the proposal made by Kenyon Cox, a local pilot and member of the airport's marketing arm. Cox approached the board as a representative of River Road Inc., a local company and a tenant of the airport with planes stored there.
The hangar will be in the green space next to the airport employee parking lot inside the fence.
"The fence will have to be moved a bit, but with the size of this hangar, it will give the airport great capability in the future," Moore said.
The building will not only include more than enough space for two sizable aircraft, but also heated floors, an office and restroom.
The hangar will be built by the local company on land rented to it by the airport. The contract has not been signed but will include a lengthy lease of at least 25 years after which time the hangar will belong to the airport.
It is unknown when the work on the new building will begin, but work on another personal hangar is expected to be finished in the coming weeks.
In March, the board allowed Glenn Hale, a tenant, to construct a 7,200-square-feet hangar near the AirEvac facility.
"These are the first new structures since I've been here and it is exciting to see the airport grow," said Moore, who began work at the airport in 2007.
In other business, the commercial service by Silver Airways to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport reported 703 enplanements for August, which continues to be more than the past years for the month, airport officials said.
"It's a little lower, but still really good," said board secretary/treasurer Jeff McDougle.
Moore said he finally received the official passenger numbers for 2012, which included commercial and private numbers.
"We did break 8,000 passengers last year," he said. "I think we are on track to break it again without the 550 expected charter passengers this year."

EuroVelo 6: Explore European rivers by bike!
The Atlantic-Black Sea EuroVelo 6 route is one of the 14 routes of the EuroVelo network created by the European Cyclists' Federation (ECF) in 1994. From 2004 to 2006, 18 French, German and Swiss partners joined forces to set up the West part of this EuroVelo cycle route, from the Atlantic to Ulm.
It aims at running alongside three of the largest European rivers, melting pots of European civilisation: the Loire, the Rhine and the Danube.

Sziget Festival Budapest, Hungary
The Sziget Festival in Budapest is one of the biggest music festivals in Europe. The festival takes place in August on the Óbudai-sziget island in the middle of the Danube. Every year, more than 1.000 rock performances make this a musical highlight along the EuroVelo 6.
Donauinselfest Vienna, Austria
The Donauinselfest is an open-air free music concert taking place on the Donauinsel, an island on the Danube, near the Austrian capital of Vienna. Usually taking place in the summer, in June, the festival is a great way to have fun after a long ride on the EuroVelo 6.
Busójárás, Hungary
Busójárás is a traditional event to celebrate spring originating from the Croatian citizens and held every year in Mohács. It is also listed on the UNESCO list of cultural heritage. If you miss out the feast, you can still visit the monument made for the battle between the Hungarian forces and Suleyman the Magnificent in 1526.
Exit Festival Novi Sad, Serbia
The Exit festival in Novi Sad, Serbia, is a summer music festival in the forteress of Petrovaradin. The festival won several awards, amongst others the EU Festival Award for "Best Major European Festival" in 2014 and is therefore definetely worth a visit.
Gäubodenvolksfest Straubing, Germany
The Oktoberfest in Munich might be bigger and more famous, but this traditional and second biggest fair of Bavaria won't disappoint lovers of folklore and 1l beer glasses, called Maß. The fair counts more than one million visitors per year and takes place in August.
The countries
EuroVelo 6, from Saint-Nazaire to Mulhouse, following the Loire, the Saône and the Doubs, is the most famous and prestigious cycle route in France. The route goes through numerous cities and villages full of a rich historical heritage, some of them listed as UNESCO World Heritage (Loire valley, citadel of Besançon...).
The EuroVelo 6 route in Switzerland (= National Rhine Route No 2) follows the Rhine river from Basel to Stein am Rhein at the Bodensee. Along the route you will find bustling towns, medieval towers, Swiss-German bridges, Roman ruins, romantic riverside paths, aspargus fields, timber-framed houses and a mighty river tames by 11 power-stations.
The route from Rajka to Mohács along the Danube river is known for its outstanding natural and cultural attractions. The Roman 'Limes' along the Danube, the fortresses of Komárom and Komarno, the natural landscape of the Danube Bend and the banks of the Danube in Budapest are all important heritage attractions offering visitors enjoyable diversions when they fancy a break from their bike.
The route takes you through a beautiful region of eastern Croatia along Danube and Drava River. In Croatia, the route enters in Duboševica and you cycle through beautiful region of nature park of Kopački Rit one of the most important, largest and most attractive preserved intact wetlands in Europe.
Euro Velo 6 – The Danube Trail has bikeable route along the Bulgarian side of the big river. The route starts near Bregovo to Vidin and through Lom, Kozloduy, Swishtov and Ruse reaches Silistra, where cyclists could continue to the Danube Delta. The cycling trail is marked mainly on asphalt roads as close as possible to the river and offers good opportunities especially for birdwatching and close interaction with unspoiled natural environments.

Most Helpful Girl
I read somewhere that people who aren't willing to spend money on a dating site aren't really looking for anything serious, because if they really cared they'd be willing to pay for all the different services and tools and stuff. But I don't know... I had a roommate my freshman year of college who used OkCupid and found a bunch of hookups, until she settled on a guy to be her boyfriend. It lasted a few months though she suspected him of cheating; eventually she found out he was engaged the entire time to a girl w/ a 3 yr. old son. He wound up blocking her on fb and everything11|00|0

If a movie is a hit, it gets a sequel. If it's a real blockbuster, it gets two. And then there's "Avatar" — which isn't just getting its own Disney World land, but is also being becoming a full blown franchise in one fell swoop with three, count em, THREE sequels being made simultaneously.
James Cameron is, after all, Hollywood's master of thinking big. Scratch that. Bigger than big. After making the most successful sci-fi epic of the new century, he vastly super-sized the 3D series – a fifty percent increase from the two that were already in the works. The three sequels will be shot simultaneously beginning in 2014, and the first film is expected to open in theaters in December 2015. (Hold the jokes about a blue Christmas.) Since "Avatar" cost over $230 million to make, with three follow-ups going in front of cameras at once, this has the potential to be the biggest and costliest project any studio has ever greenlit.
[Related: 'Avatar' Sequels Will Feature Underwater Performance Capture]
This project looks like a monster, but tackling something huge hasn't scared Cameron in the past. Let's take a quick look at the mans' mega resume …
"The Terminator" (1984). Cameron had only directed one previous feature, the pretty unmemorable "Piranha, Part Two: The Spawning." But he still persuaded a studio to give him a shot at a big, ambitious sci-fi action fest that rewrote the rules of genre filmmaking and kicked Arnold Schwarzenegger into superstardom.
"Aliens" (1986). The original "Alien" was so much Ridley Scott's film that it seemed crazy to let someone else do the sequel. But Cameron made the movie leaner and more action packed, boosted the alien critter quotient, and gave Sigourney Weaver's Ripley more butt-kicking force, as bringing out her nurturing side by bringing along a kid to look after.
"The Abyss" (1989). This is where Cameron's ambitions really began to swell. For this underwater sci-fi epic, which cost close to $70 million, Cameron and his crew turned an uncompleted nuclear reactor in South Carolina into the world's biggest studio tank, holding seven million gallons of water. His team also designed special masks and breathing apparatus so the actors could deliver live dialogue under water.
[Related: James Cameron Wins 'Avatar' Plagiarism Lawsuit]
"Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991). Bigger and badder in every way, Cameron's follow-up to "The Terminator" was a rare example of a sequel that surpassed the original. Hey, Cameron literally drops the bomb on L.A. in this movie. 'Nuff said.
"True Lies" (1994). It wasn't enough for Cameron to make a spy story – he had to come up with one of the biggest and craziest spy stories ever. You remember the scene where Arnold Schwarzenegger's character rescues Jamie Lee Curtis as she dangles from a helicopter? Turns out that really was Curtis dangling from an actual chopper in flight – and Cameron himself was filming her with a handheld camera. That's commitment all around.
"Titanic" (1997). It was supposed to be a love story set aboard a ship, but by the time Cameron got through with it, "Titanic" was also one of the greatest disaster films Hollywood ever produced, looking as if Cameron and his team went and built a ship and sank it for the sake of the cameras (and at a cost of $200 million, maybe he did). It also turned Leonardo DiCaprio into (arguably) Hollywood's biggest male star, and Kate Winslet into a box office draw and one of the best-respected actresses of her generation.
And "Avatar" … well, you know all about that, right?
So whatever Cameron has in mind for "Avatar 2," "3" and "4," don't doubt for a minute that the man is aiming to blow us away. Expect to hear a lot about these movies over the next few years.
Watch James Cameron take you on an in-depth look at the making of Pandora:


text: Company HP Bought For $11 Billion Just Cost HP $9 BillionMario Aguilar11/20/12 9:34amFiled to: Bad ideasHpBusinessEarningsAutonomyCore69EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink All is not well at Meg Whitman's HP, we learned during the company's fourth-quarter earnings call this morning. HP just recorded a $9 billion devaluation of its assets stemming from serious accounting tomfoolery at a company that HP bought for $11 billion last year. Ouch. Last August, HP bought the British software company Autonomy for $11.1 billion making it one of HP's biggest assets. We knew at the time that it was probably a mistake, but the deal turned out to be so much worse than we could have imagined. In today's call, HP claimed that Autonomy's books had been cooked before HP ever got there, and the company will take an $8.8 billion hit to its balance sheet to compensate. Some nitty-gritty from the earnings statement: The majority of this impairment charge is linked to serious accounting improprieties, disclosure failures and outright misrepresentations at Autonomy Corporation plc that occurred prior to HP's acquisition of Autonomy and the associated impact of those improprieties, failures and misrepresentations on the expected future financial performance of the Autonomy business over the long-term.So even though Autonomy's accounting department was apparently staffed by liars, the software engineering is still sound. If I were an HP investor, I would be pissed. What, was HP too busy testing printer apps to do any due diligence? . [HP via Engadget] Advertisement Advertisement This post has been updated to reflect that the Autonomy purchase price was $11.1 billion, not $10 billion as previously stated.

Nicotine Vaccine May Help Smokers Quit
Nicotine Vaccine May Help Smokers Quit
Hopefully spoils the smoking
pleasure: nicotine vaccine
© PixelQuelle.de
Dorothy Hatsukami, Ph.D., director of the University of Minnesota Cancer Center's Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Center (TTURC), is the lead author on this study. The 38-week study included 68 active smokers who were randomly assigned to receive one of three different doses of the vaccine or a placebo. "The vaccine works by producing antibodies that specifically bind to nicotine and thereby prevent much of the nicotine from entering the brain," Hatsukami said. "This process potentially reduces the pleasurable effects from smoking and reduces the addiction to nicotine."
"More research needs to be done, but at this point, our results show the vaccine is safe and well-tolerated," Hatsukami said. "We found the vaccine has few side effects on the central nervous system because the antibody itself is targeted specifically for nicotine and does not alter any functions of the brain."
Additionally, she says that while this study was not designed to test the treatment effect, 38 percent of the participants in the high-dose vaccine group quit smoking for at least 30 days. "This result was an impressive and completely unexpected finding because the study was not focused on helping smokers quit smoking," she noted. "In fact, to participate in the study, smokers had to attest that they did not have a planned quit date for the next six months."
According to Hatsukami, the most commonly reported side effect was an ache and tenderness in the area of the arm where the vaccine was injected. Some of the participants also reported headaches and muscle pain, which in all cases went away in a few days.
"No differences were noted in withdrawal symptoms between participants who received the vaccine and those who got the placebo," Hatsukami said. "We also did not see a compensatory smoking behaviour, meaning that vaccinated participants did not puff harder on cigarettes or smoke more cigarettes to make up for the lower levels of nicotine delivered to the brain."

About "Ooklay in the Agbay" by danieljstraub
The restaurant scene in Monsters Inc. is one of the most ironic scenes in the movie. It shows how terrified the monsters are of Boo, and how fearless she is of them. This design captures the moment when Boo jumps out of the "agbay."


text: This was inspired by a dear friend....At times i get this little whispers you know and my hands go on a flow all alone So I hope this reaches you.... See I learned no battle is to rough God wont step in..Shine a light for all will come to light to the blind.....you have a friend and this is to let you know A voice whispered In time of darkness call on him For he hears all cries and worries And will lead you out the dark Call on him no matter the time He will walk with you to the light Take it up in prayer For when the battle is to much Take it up When you're lost and you're just wandering Take it up He won't leave your side For he is thy friend You call on No matter the time It will be brighter days And all your worries Will fade…. For his love shall overcome Within your faith Step high Step high No looking back For he extends his hand Listen my friend…. God is on your side And he holds you Just listen within For the tides maybe rough But I promise you this He walks with you….. A voice whispered Gave me my voice My calling came No matter the time… I must speak …. Lift up your head And stand your ground For all things shall be seen in time

This is a quick but tasty appetizer for a party that I got from a friend. Don't be afraid of the raw bacon. It cooks up when broiled.

Very tasty. Hubby loved them and wants me to make them again for him for breakfast. I wasn't sure whether to use oil based salad dressing or creamy salad dressing. I used Paul Newmans Ranch Dressing. Loved the worchestershire sauce flavour. Thanks for posting.
