Attrt: Harry 1. Moatz, OED Director
Dear Mr. Moatz:
Knobbe, Martens, Olson & Bear, LLP ("KMOB") is pleased to submit preliminary comments on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published in Federal Register, Vol. 68, No. 239, December 12, 2003. As you may know, KMOB is the largest specialty firm on the West Coast dedicated exclusively to the practice of intellectual property law. We have 110 patent attorneys and 19 patent agents registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office.
We understand from conversations with members of the American Bar Association Intellectual Property Law Section that comments are due today on the sections of the proposed rules relating to registration of practitioners, and that comments on the other provisions of the proposed rules may be submitted after today. Accordingly, we are furnishing to you herewith our comments on the registration section, and will provide you at a later date with comments on the other sections of the proposed rules.
We have two comments on the registration section, as follows:
Comment on Supplementary Information Concerning, S?on
11.6fa) Registration of Aliens
Proposed Rule 11.6(a) states that a resident alien who otherwise fulfills the requirements for registration may be registered to practice before the USPTO provided that such registration is not inconsistent with the terms upon which the alien was admitted to, and resides in, the United States. We have no objection to this new rule. We do, however, wish to delete the commentary to Rule 11.6(a), contained in the Supplementary Information at page 69446, which states:
San Diego San Francisco Los Angeles Riverside San Luis Obispo
699?235?8550 4?5?954?4194 310?551?3450 909?789?923? 805?547?5580
KNOW NIBPIRIS 015011 & Bear UP
Mr. Harry I. Moatz
February 10, 2004
Page ?2?
"Registration would be precluded, for example, when the visa petition does not describe that the alien as being authorized to be employed in the capacity of representing patent applicants before the Office."
We believe that this commentary is inconsistent with the text of the proposed rule. The commentary seems to require that a visa petition specifically state that the alien is authorized to be employed in the capacity of representing patent applications before the USPTO. The rule simply states that registration to practice before the office cannot be inconsistent with the terms of the alien's visa. It should not be a requirement to registration that the alien's visa specifically authorize employment in representing applicants before the USPTO. The commentary would place an immediate and unnecessary burden on existing practitioners who are resident aliens by possibly calling into question whether their visas contain the proper authorization to represent clients before the USPTO. If their visas do not contain the proper authorization, such practitioners would be required to incur considerable costs in making any corrections to their visas. The same burdens would be placed on applicants for registration who are aliens, and indeed would be a trap for unwary aliens when they are applying for visas. The requirement expressed in the commentary would be more "red tape" through which an alien must navigate, with no obvious benefit to the citizens of the United States.
Comment on Section 11.8(d) Annual Fee
The proposed rule contemplates that the due date for the annual fee for practitioners will be staggered over four calendar quarters, based on the practitioners' last names. For a large firm such as KMOB, payment of the fees in four different quarters is logistically difficult, and could create situations in which a due date for a particular practitioner is inadvertently missed. We believe that one annual due date for the payment of the registration fees for all practitioners would be more convenient for our firm, as well as for the USPTO.
KMOB respectfully requests that the Director give these comments due consideration. Should you have any questions regarding our comments, please contact the undersigned at (949) 721??2911 or by e?mail at wpeterson@...

Chile-Cheese Yucca Chips
Yucca, sometimes called cassava, is a starchy root that grows in very warm climates and makes supercrunchy chips. To remove the tough outer skin, use a sharp, heavy knife rather than a peeler.
Slideshow: More Tasty Snacks
- Total Time:
- Servings: 10
- Canola or vegetable oil, for frying
- 4 yuccas (about 3 pounds), peeled and very thinly sliced on a mandoline
- 1 tablespoon Tim Love's Wild Game Rub
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (1 ounce)
- Salt
How to make this recipe
In a large pot, heat 1 1/2 inches of oil to 350. Set 2 paper towel–lined baking sheets near the stove. Working in batches, add the yucca to the oil; stir gently to separate the slices. Fry the yucca until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chips to the paper towels to drain.
In a bowl, toss the yucca chips with the Wild Game Rub and the cheese. Season the chips with salt and serve.
Make Ahead
The chips can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 hours.

*Scallops in Alfredo Sauce* (GF)
A tasty classic. This recipe is in Splendid Low-Carbing
1 lb frozen small scallops (0.454 kg)
2 tbsp Healthy Butter, page 96 (25 mL)
1/4 tsp salt (1 mL)
1/8 tsp black pepper (0.5 mL)
Thaw frozen scallops in refrigerator overnight or in bag in cold water until they are able to separate. In skillet, in Healthy Butter, page 96, cook scallops gently over medium-low heat about 5 minutes or until firm. Sprinkle with salt and pepper while cooking.
A versatile sauce. Serve hot on cooked vegetables, poultry, fish or seafood.
2/3 cup whipping cream (150 mL)
1/3 cup water (75 mL)
2 tbsp butter (25 mL)
3/4 tsp Thickening Agent, page 109, (3 mL)
OR 2 tbsp soy flour (25 mL)
1/2 tsp salt (2 mL)
1/8 tsp white pepper (0.5 mL)
1/8 tsp paprika (0.5 mL)
2 egg yolks, fork beaten
In small bowl, combine whipping cream and water. Set aside. In double boiler or heavy saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add soy flour (if using), salt, pepper and paprika to melted butter. Over low heat, stir together until smooth. Gradually stir in cream and water mixture, using a whisk. Use wooden spoon to incorporate any flour mixture around sides of saucepan. Increase heat to medium. If using Thickening Agent, page 109 instead of soy flour, sprinkle over sauce gradually and whisk in. Stir constantly with whisk, heating to scalding and until thickened.
Stir some of hot liquid into beaten egg yolks. Pour into saucepan and stir until sauce thickens. Do not boil. Remove from heat. If sauce develops lumps, which is unlikely, pour through sieve.
Variations: Alfredo Sauce: Prepare as above, however, use unsalted butter (and less salt) and add 1/4 tsp (1 mL) garlic powder and 1/3 cup (75 mL) Parmesan cheese. Yield: 1 cup (250 mL), 2 tbsp (25 mL) per serving. (0.9 g Carbs)
Mushroom Sauce: Add 1, 10 oz (284 mL) can sliced mushrooms, drained.
Yield: 11/2 cups (375 mL), 2 tbsp (25 mL) per serving. (0.7 g Carbs)
Bechamel Sauce: Prepare as above, but use 1/2 cup (125 mL) whipping cream and 1/2 cup (125 mL) chicken broth. Reduce salt to taste.
Yield: 1 cup (250 mL), 2 tbsp (25 mL) per serving. (0.6 g Carbs)
Cheese Sauce: Use 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt. Stir in 1 cup (250 mL) grated Cheddar Cheese. Yield: 11/2 cups (375 mL), 2 tbsp (25 mL) per serving. (0.6 g Carbs)
Helpful Hint: Half-and-half cream may be used instead of whipping cream for negligible carbohydrate differences. Reduce salt to 1/4 tsp (1 mL), if desired. Add half amount of salt, taste, then add the remaining salt as desired.

I have been trying to cook more fish in my low carb diet. I've run out of different variations so far, but thanks for the latest post. I totally forgot about scallops. This should open up a whole new set of possibilities for awhile. I appreciate the sauce variations as well.

Scallops are easy and so quick. I'm also thinking I should cook fish more often. :) We live near a fabulous fish market - at least our city apartment is near it - not our home - and I cannot believe we've been so busy that in the last almost 5 years we have been in our new tropical locale, we have not visited it. Shrimp is another very easy shellfish dish. I love jumbo shrimp in garlic butter.

I don't think ht://Dig has been tested much with the Sun cc. If you have
the libg++ package installed (from GNU) then you should have everything
immediately necessary for compiling. Well, maybe--remember I said I don't
think it's been tested much.

If you read the file COPYING, you'll see that ht://Dig is released under
GPL. So restrictions are as you might expect from this--they center more
around the code itself than from use of ht://Dig.

Real Estate Law
Have Real Estate Law Questions? Ask a Real Estate Lawyer.
I do not want to sue her for the short sale, I just want to prove that she is that kind of person in case her moral issue is discussed in the court. So my question is is there any way that I can prove that even if all the documents look like she is not involved?
Relist: Answer came too late.
My apologies for the delay, but I was helping someone else, and it took longer than I expected. You could contact the Secretary of State and request a copy of the business' articles of incorporation/registration. It may indicate that the seller is also the original incorporator of the business that acted as the buyer. That's about all you could do for proof. Other than that, you can contact the lender and offer your belief that the seller and buyer are the same. You can also contact the FBI and report the matter. After that, you would have to just step aside and let the government conduct its investigations. You cannot force the government to prosecute the seller. That's really all you can do. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Andrew Marcus learned a lot during the two years he spent documenting the late Andrew Breitbart. The director of "Hating Breitbart" saw the man's loyalty, his fierceness and his passion; he also learned that Breitbart was fond of rollerblading through protests and that Breitbart didn't care for how he looked in underwear.
Marcus had unprecedented access to Breitbart, who was a hero to the right for holding the media's feet to the fire. "He was an open book," Marcus said of his time with Breitbart. "He didn't have anything to hide." Marcus said Breitbart saw a rough cut of the film and like it, except for one thing: a few unflattering underwear shots, captured in hotel rooms.
"I think he felt he was a little overweight," Marcus said, but added that Breitbart didn't ask for any edits and let the crew film at will. (His family was off limits.) "He was very willing and brave to make that choice."
The documentary includes interviews with members of Congress, including Rep. Michele Bachmann and Rep. Steve King, and members of the press, including Tommy Christopher of left-leaning Mediaite, who expressed how much he liked Breitbart personally.
One of Marcus' favorite Breitbart anecdotes came from actor Orson Bean. Bean was having dinner at the Breitbart house when Breitbart leaned back in his chair, talking enthusiastically. Suddenly the chair fell back, sending Breitbart crashing into a glass window.
"As Orson described it," Marcus said, "he didn't stop talking."
Breitbart later denied the story to Marcus. "He was adamant," Marcus said. Breitbart insisted on getting his wife on the phone with Marcus to back him up.
"His wife said, 'yeah, you leaned back in your chair and fell through the window.'"
By the time filming wrapped on "Hating Breitbart," Marcus considered the man a close friend.
"I think there might have been things that I didn't understand at first," he said of some of Breitbart's more controversial moves, like when he screamed at the Occupy folks camped outside of CPAC in February. "I saw that and thought, oh my god, what is going on? He looks out of control. But then I realized it's classic Andrew Breitbart."
Like Breitbart, Marcus believes the media ran interference for Occupy and failed to report on violence in Occupy encampments. "They whitewashed it," Marcus said. "And he was furious about this. So he did what he needed to do to...get his voice heard. He had to put on a show."
"Hating Breitbart" premieres at the Regal Ballson Common Stadium 12 in Arlington on Friday.

Best Of :: People & Places
Fine Nails is the snooping sociologist's dream. The salon attracts Swiss Avenue socialites, couples out for a his-and-hers pedi, nail-obsessed women with 2-inch claws and everyone in between. Want to know where Susie Perfect with the pink manicure met her cheating boyfriend? Just wait for a spell in the one-room salon, and chances are, she'll tell someone—either her nail technician or the person on the other end of her cell. Need to know what kind of china is hot at Lakewood weddings or which local doctor is best at identifying bizarre moles? The answers all await at Fine Nails. Since each nail station is arranged in a large circle, including the comfy pedicure chairs, it's impossible not to hear every word uttered. Which never seems to stop anyone from airing out their dirty laundry. Oh, well. At least you know their hands and/or feet are clean.
Go figure. The only place we could find those nifty vintage rock-and-roll tees for our kid was at Haute Apple Pie on the square in downtown McKinney, which has gone through quite the transformation since the days when the coolest thing up there was a record store that sold us Get the Knack in 1981. Until recently the world's largest antique shop, downtown McKinney is what the West Village wants to be and what Deep Ellum ought to be—a smorgasbord of hip retailers (Bath Junkie, Alternative Furnishings, Mom and POPcorn Company) and cool clothing stores and some of the finest dining in North Texas. Within a couple of blocks are four of our favorite places to hang in the 972: Rick's Chophouse and Wine Bar, which boasts a plush library bar bigger and badder than any we've ever seen; Café Malaga, a superior tapas joint; La Misha, a coffee house Dallas would die for; and Spoons Café, a low-key eatery that feels like home...if you're from Austin. Add to that an amazing rare-book store (The Book Gallery, to which people come from all around for great prices on amazing finds), a new boutique inn that used to be a historic hotel (the Grand Hotel, actually, with a dazzling formal ballroom all ready for your special occasions) and two wineries (Landon Winery and Lone Star Wine Cellars) at which we've been known to tipple till we wobble, and you've got the making of a special weekend every weekend.
Why is it that no matter what happens to the Cowboys, everyone is still hung up on the team's ex-coach, the legendary Bill Parcells? Neither Cowboys fans nor players ever warmed up to the aging, dyed-blond grump, who did a perfectly average job in his four-year stint here. He improved the team some, though he never broke their epic playoff-win drought. Despite a rather forgettable record, Parcells haunts Valley Ranch like a ghost at a shuttered mental hospital. He's brought up, of course, by the media, who loved the perceived rivalry between Parcells and Jerry Jones, and the players, who either looked upon him as a father or as tyrant. But even Jones himself and Wade Phillips still talk about Parcells. We're not quite sure why the Cowboys can't quit Parcells, but not since Heath and Jake has a bunch of Cowboys shown this kind of passion.
This is Dallas, and we're a material bunch. Frankly, with the right attitude, there's no shame in that. Take for instance the need for a little air-conditioned walking space. NorthPark Center is the finest of the mall walks. Covered parking is nearly always available, and thanks to recent mall additions, walkers get a perfect lap. Natural light beams in through periodic skylights, beautiful wearables and trinkets abound for extensive eyeballing (no wallet required for that), people-watching is prime and with the addition of a brilliantly varied food court, strollers can replenish with Snappy Salads, Hibachi-San, The Original Soup Man and others. Take in a movie and head back out for another 2.72-mile circuit (maps of various routes available at northparkcenter.com).
We want it all from our bar. We like a bar with a nice blend of drunks and fashionable folk so we can have something to laugh at and ogle while we take in our Boddingtons (which they have on tap, thanks) or Stella or vodka whatevers. We love a comfortable bar stool. We love the option of ordering really, really good food (Guinness steak sandwich with fries, please) to soak up our drink. We appreciate the presence of DJ Mr. Rid's Scaraoke every Thursday night for a good bit of self-humiliation if the mood strikes us. We like a mix of regular faces and a steady stream of first-timers. And we adore the opportunity to return hung-over the next morning for an outta-sight weekend brunch (gingerbread pancakes or eggs Florentine with a damn fine Bloody Mary) to a place that looks like it survived the night before much better than we did.
We are so gonna regret this. Look, just keep this little secret between us, OK? There's this great little bar on Maple Avenue that's not called The Grapevine, which we love, but apparently so does everyone else. Sometimes you just need a drink, a friendly face and a quiet, cozy place to sit and ponder your beer bubbles. That's why we love The Windmill. Owned and operated by a friendly New Yorker who introduces himself simply as Charlie, this joint is sort of little place that drives home the difference between a bar and a nightclub. Beneath the neon windmill on the roof is a secret treasure chamber, dark enough to let you sit in peace and contemplate your day, yet lighted enough to allow you to look your drinking companion in the eye. It's also one of the few places we've been to where you can actually walk up to the bar without looking like Marion Barber cutting up the middle. The Windmill even has a "cell phone booth," a former pay phone booth (look it up, kids) to give you privacy while making a call. Don't be ringing up a bunch of frat boys to come out for the night, though. We want to keep this "best" place the best.

2012-2013 Sessions
Opening Session: Parenting from the Heart with Dan Gottlieb, PhD
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2012 at Main Line Reform Temple
Dan Gottlieb, psychologist, columnist, and radio host introduced our second year of dialogue about parenting and communication. Dan addressed how we all have a quality of wisdom but as we race through life, we cannot hear that quiet voice inside. He asked, "what is the difference between self-discipline and self compassion, between external security and internal security, and between acting human and being human?"
Dan pointed out that the universal complaint in this culture is that we just don't have enough time. Yet the clock ticks at the same rate it did when we were in elementary school waiting for the dismissal bell. Perhaps time flies because we are racing through our lives in pursuit of something we can't quite name. And in that process, we push ourselves harder and harder and do the same with our children.
Fall 2012 Discussion Series facilitated by Tom Winner, MFT, and Hope Nichols-Thal, MFT, from Council for Relationships
Building Positive Dialogue, Tuesday, November 6th, 2012 at Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church
This first session of three focused on the strategies for creating and sustaining dialogue between parents and children. We will examine the value of dialogue, external barriers to dialogue and ways of overcoming those barriers.
Parenting on Purpose, November 13th, 2012 at Main Line Reform Temple
In the second session, we shifted the focus toward the internal to examine ways in which our own thoughts and feelings both help and hinder relationships between parents and children. We also reviewed key paths to self understanding and self acceptance that can help us make better choices.
Building a Parent Community, November 27th, 2012 at Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church
To round out the three session arc, we pulled back to take stock of the community as a whole to discover what kind core principles and ideals might inform our ideal community of parents. We also began to discuss steps that we can take as a community to help realize those ideals.
2011-2012 Sessions
Opening Session: Keynote speaker Ken Ginsburg, MD, MS Ed
Sunday, September 25th, 2011 at Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church
Our keynote speaker presented on Building Resilience in Today's World. In a two-hour interactive program, Ken shared his clinical and life experiences interwoven with the parenting practices in his latest book, "Letting Go with Love and Confidence: Raising Responsible, Resilient, Self-Sufficient Teens in the 21st Century."
Ken also remarked on the breadth of topics in the Parenting on the Main Line series. Challenging the parents in the room to make a difference, Ken said, "It's not about teaching parents . . . the real question is whether the parents are going to leave here and create a community that's different. And the only way you are going to create a community that's different, that is going to battle the toxic elements in the world, is if people do it together."
2nd Session: Positive Parenting with Ruthy Kaiser, RN, LMFT
Tuesday, October 11th, 2011 at Main Line Reform Temple
Ruthy Kaiser led a lively discussion with over 60 parents that covered how to parent multiple children, responding to negative behavior, and handling sibling conflict. Techniques for parenting "from the inside out" and mindfulness helped participants to identify and manage their own emotional reactions to everyday challenges.
3rd Session: A Discussion on Bullying led by Lisagail Zeitlin
Thursday, November 10th, 2011 at Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church
Lisagail led an interactive session where many parents shared their experiences and best practices in helping their children deal with bullies and stand up for their friends. Other topics discussed: the school's role in preventing bullying, how to differentiate bullying from fighting, and research on the prevalence of LGBT slurs. Practical suggestions for parents were provided.
4th Session: Stressed Out led by Don McCown, MAMS, MSS, LSW
Tuesday, December 6th, 2011 at Main Line Reform Temple
Using exercises and a highly informative powerpoint presentation, Don taught about the benefits of mindfulness-based stress reduction, how the brain functions in stressful situations, and the relational aspect of being present in one's life.
5th Session: Learning & the School Environment led by Robert Zeitlin, PsyD
Thursday, January 19th, 2012 at Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church
Robert led a rotating dialogue process guided by three questions: how to alleviate parental guilt/anxiety, how to maintain balance in light of ever-increasing academic expectations, and finding ways to judge a school's benefit beyond test scores. Many great ideas were generated in this very interactive format.
6th Session: Self Image and Self Knowledge led by Wendy Cramer, Michael Graziano, Stephanie Newberg, Karen Shapiro, and Tom Winner
Tuesday, February 7th, 2012 at Main Line Reform Temple
A gifted panel of experts led a large group of parents through several different ways to understand how young people view themselves and their bodies. Targeted presentations helped parents understand the roots of body image difficulties, use methods to discover the strengths that their children possess, and maintain a strong line of communication by listening to teens.
7th Session: A discussion on Acting Out led by Ray Fisher, MSW, LCSW
Thursday, March 15th, 2012 at Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church
Ray led a very personal discussion about setting limits and suggested ways for parents to feel less helpless. Ray suggested that parents who are more conscious of their own parental story can be clearer with themselves about making decisions from the heart. The discussion included some of the issues that kids and parents often deal with when it comes to acting out behaviors and how to find ways together to help solve those behaviors.
8th Session: Children and Their Sexual Development led by Michele Marsh from Council for Relationships & Al Vernacchio from Friends Central School
Tuesday, April 17th, 2012 at Main Line Reform Temple
When is it normal for kids to be sexual beings? Al and Michele fielded a range of questions from parents eager to teach their children and teenagers what they need to know for healthy sexual development including what qualities in a parent help children/teens adopt healthy sexual attitudes and why teens listen or don't listen to their parents' sexual values and attitudes.
Final 2012 Session: Road Map to Letting Go with Dr. Stephen Treat from Council for Relationships
Thursday, May 3rd, 2012 at Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church
Master presenter Dr. Stephen Treat discussed how parenting style needs to evolve with adolescence including what changes to expect in teens' decision-making process as they grow, what adaptations parents need to make, how to safely grant responsibility, and how to manage privilege and avoid entitlement. This "season finale" of the Parenting on the Main Line series was truly a powerful discussion on fostering independence and letting go.

96% of UC Service Workers are income eligible for Public Assistance
So you've debunked how UC Executives are constantly crying wolf about the state budget because you know that only 8.6% of the state budget goes to UC Service Workers. And only 1% of student fees contribute to workers' wages.
But do you know the extent and severity of these poverty wages at UC?
According to AFSCME Local 3299 researchers 96% of UC service workers are income eligible for public assistance programs including: food stamps, WIC, public housing subsidies, and reduced lunch. Some UC service workers make as low as $10 per hour. Other California community colleges and hospitals pay an average of 25% more for the same work.
Speaking of housing subsidies and starvation, UC is going to pay $136,320 to rent a 6,800 square-foot home in Oakland for the first year and $141,000 to rent the house in the second year while the incoming UC President is waiting for the 13,329 square-foot mansion to be renovated at the cost of $8-9 Million.
The incoming UC President's package is valued at $828,000 a year. He smiled at his press conference and joked, "As you can see from my compensation package, I'm not starving to death."
The reality is UC Executives only want to pay themselves and have forced AFSCME to call a strike to get UC Executives to recognize that all UC workers deserve dignified, living wages. UC Executives should not be promoting poverty. Let's offer our solidarity on the picket and make sure the UC Execs know how valuable UC Service Workers and Patient Care Tech workers really are.
Get involved with your cohort and department so we don't fall for the budget crisis ruse. Let's picket together in solidarity. Contact UAW-Quad for help organizing!

For Lori Schwartz, a happy mom with a decade of wedded bliss under her belt, the greeting card featuring a bloodied, ripped out heart was perfect.
"It's Valentine's Day, so here's a card with a heart inside," it read. "I'd tell you whose it is, but the less you know, the better."
"My husband and I never get nice cards for each other. We're not into sentiments," Schwartz said while perusing an aisle of "anti- Valentine's Day" cards at an American Greetings Corp. store. "I expect to get something just as bad, but I may have one upped him this year."
Sensing a growing trend — and more potential customers — American Greetings has started a new line of expressions for lovers who'd rather be big goofs than big flirts. There are cards for singles not struck by Cupid's arrow and those with general disdain for Feb. 14, too.
Card Makers Capitalize on 'Anti-V-Day'

Sony has announced a new 4K Media Player, which will bring HEVC (H.265) support, and therefore support for Netflix 4K streaming, to older, previously incompatible, Sony 4K TVs.
The FMP-X5 streaming box is compatible with the Sony Bravia KDL-84X9005, KD-65X9005A and KD-55X9005A, the three Ultra HD TVs released by Sony in 2012 and 2013. Connection comes via HDMI.
The Sony FMP-X5 will go on sale in August for £350 in the UK (€399 in Europe), and will be available to buy directly from Sony online.
It will only work with Sony 4K TVs, so won't act as a generic 4K streaming box for any other 4K TV on the market.
All the new Sony 2014 4K TVs support the HEVC codec, meaning the KD-X9500B, X9000B and X8500B don't require a separate box.
More after the break
HEVC is becoming increasingly popular in the video streaming industry and is being used by services such as Netflix, which recently launched its 4K service in the UK.
HEVC/H.265 is a more efficient codec than H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, so requires less bandwidth in order to deliver 4K video.
The FMP-X5 box sits alongside the recently launched Sony FMP-X10 player, though the X10 hasn't been confirmed for the UK.
The Sony FMP-X1 box was the first Sony 4K streaming box to be revealed, and it has subsequently gone on sale in the US but not in the UK.

This is such a delightful film and it has the most wonderful music! The actors are terrific and Marie Wilson, in particular, just excels. The title song has always been an old favorite of mine and I remember a whole group of us singing it around a night campfire. It's one of those old standards that everyone knows the words to! Anne Sheridan is so beautiful in this film and she really has a lovely voice for the great score. Bubbles Sakall weaves his magic as one of the great character actors. A lovely film, lovely score, great actors - what's not to like? Simply wonderful!

This is a really marvelous movie, featuring Ann Sheridan and Dennis Morgan. The technicolor finale really POPS after looking at the first 90% of the film in B W. Can't figure why NO ONE, including TCM, hasn't re-mastered the film and released it in DVD. It's got to be one that's restored and saved to DVD for future generations. Young people today have little or no concept of Vaudeville and that live performances were all that people could see before radio, motion pictures, television or the internet.

I really have never seen this movie, but it did help spark my interest in old movies. I'm 13 now and when I saw this paperdoll of Ann Sheridan in a paperdoll book when I was 8, I just loved the old-fashioned feathery costume, hat, and the glittery gloves that I decided that if old films had clothes like THAT in them I had to see some sooner or later. So i will alays be greatful to this film because now I love classics. Please air it sometime, I'd love to see it!
A classic.

Ann Sheridan and Dennis Morgan pair up rather nicely in this film. Their up and down relationship adds to the drama and their duet with the title song still warms my heart ever so.
Loved this movie.

Spatiotemporal compression of ultrashort pulses is one of the key issues of chirped pulse amplification (
The demonstration of the first working laser had opened up a door for photonics, a new technology that revitalized a number of fields of the physical, chemical and biological sciences. One of the early directions of its research was to reach short light pulses to make phenomena visible which are happening too fast even for high-speed photography to resolve. The technological development was so successful that the pulse durations overtook easily the response time of available electronic detectors at the time. Mode locking, as a method for the generation of short pulses, was suggested [
In the meantime, a new laser material was introduced and turned out to be even more advantageous for ultrashort pulse generation. The titanium-doped sapphire crystal [
Once ultrashort laser pulse generation had become a routine process, researchers turned toward reaching extreme high pulse intensities. Relatively early it became obvious that although direct amplification of laser pulses proved to be a successful method in the nanosecond pulse length regime, this technique is not applicable for ultrashort pulses, since self-phase modulation and related effects would arise during amplification. This issue was addressed by G. Mourou and D. Strickland when they suggested
In experiments observing ultrafast phenomena, it is a fundamental requirement that amplified laser pulses reaching the target should be as short as the Fourier transform of their spectra allows for, thereby providing as high an intensity as possible. The most important parameter in the characterization of the temporal shape is the pulse duration. Since the devices for controlling the temporal shape are usually based on angularly dispersive elements (prisms, grisms, gratings), the residual angular dispersion is also of high interest.
Several diagnostic techniques have been developed so far for ultrashort pulse characterization. A major part of them can be classified as self-reference methods, since the pulse interferes with its own replica usually in a nonlinear crystal or detector. Such techniques are the interferometric autocorrelation [
Another group of diagnostics can be described as linear optical methods, as nonlinear processes are not involved in their schemes. They have the advantage of being able to measure weak pulses with high precision and being sensitive to small changes of the monitored parameters; although in several cases, they are restricted to having a relative measurement of pulse characteristics only. In this paper, we give a detailed overview of this latter category of diagnostic methods and discuss their advantages and disadvantages.
To follow the effect of the linear dispersion of the medium on the temporal shape of a pulse, a laser pulse with a Gaussian temporal envelope of electric field strength is considered, having a transform limited temporal duration (
Fourier transform provides a relationship between the spectral and the temporal representation of the laser pulse. In the spectral domain, the complex field strength of the pulse from Equation (1) can be written as
The function of the spectral phase describes the phase evolution of a light wave through any optical system. In the case of optical bulk material, its expression seems relatively simple (see Equation (4)), but in many cases, calculations with the refractive index functions can be rather complicated. The spectral phase expression of sophisticated optical elements or assemblies, like a compressor or stretcher, may become pretty cumbersome. In the experimental practice, moreover, the determination of the full spectral phase function is not possible. Hence, the usual way of handling spectral phase functions is to describe them through their Taylor series as
Once the coefficients of the series is determined to the required (or experimentally feasible) order, the spectral phase function can be constructed in a semi-empirical way,
The derivatives of spectral phase, the so-called
The definitions above give
Phase derivatives considerably influence the temporal shape of the envelope. For example, let us consider a medium with first and second order dispersion. The evolution of the electric field will be given by
A pulse with an initial shape described by Equation (1) will have a form of
Schematic temporal effect of the first three phase derivatives.
For few-cycle pulses, the position of the carrier wave under the envelope plays a significant role since the outcome of many experiments could be drastically influenced if the electric field exceeds the ionization threshold by more or less one time during the course of a pulse relative to the previous ones. The quantity for the characterization of this property is the phase at
Definition of the carrier-envelope phase.
The different spectral components of an ultrafast laser pulse may propagate not only at different velocities but also into different directions. In this latter case, the propagation is affected by the
Angular dispersion can be defined in two ways. The most obvious one, based on geometrical optical considerations, is the wavelength dependence of the direction of propagation of the different spectral components, and is called
Comparison of the two types of angular dispersion in the case of plane wave and Gaussian beam approximation.
Illustration of spatial effects of the angular dispersion and pulse front tilt.
This can be converted easily into a stretch in pulse length based on Equation (12) [
Angular dispersion is practically always accompanied by some pulse front tilt and spatial chirp, both demonstrated in
One can see easily that spatiotemporal pulse distortions usually arise simultaneously; moreover, they are coupled with each other. A general mathematical analysis of these coupling effects is discussed in Reference [
The nature of ultrashort pulses makes it more convenient to examine their properties in the spectral domain instead of the time domain, simply because detectors that are fast enough do not exist yet. However, steady or slowly changing patterns can be created by the means of interferometry. By its nature, it is extremely sensitive to the phase properties of short pulses, which is also very important to know in the temporal reconstruction process. Therefore, the possibility to involve interference methods for ultrafast pulse characterization becomes evident. When interference patterns are recorded in the time domain, multiple shots and pulse scanning are usually required. On the contrary, however, in the spectral domain, it is feasible to have single-shot measurement without moving parts. The spectral distribution of the pulse can be easily measured by spectrographs, and can be transformed to the time domain to calculate the transform-limited pulse duration. Last but not least, some of the special propagation issues may require the detection of the intensity distribution of the pulse in space. The technique called spectrally and spatially resolved interferometry (
Methods using crossed-beam interferometry date back relatively early, well before the age of lasers. L. Puccianti published his first measurement results about the anomalous dispersion of oxy-hemoglobin [
At present, the
How these linear interferometric methods essentially work will be described in the next section, taking the general case of spectrally and spatially resolved interferometry.
The experimental implementation of
The arm of the interferometer containing the dispersive object is called the sample arm; the other one is the reference arm. The spatial and spectral intensity distribution of the laser pulses travelling through the corresponding arms are denoted by
Schematic experimental layout of the
In order to establish a spatial resolution, the angle between the crossed beams must also be adjusted. The outcoupling mirrors of the individual arms are tilted vertically so that the beams cross each other at an angle
The interference pattern on the two-dimensional detector surface of the imaging spectrograph is described by
Formation of interference in the case of crossed monochromatic beams.
In the formula above,
The spectral phase shift in the arms of the interferometer can be approximated by Taylor expansion, similarly to Equation (5). If
A precondition of interference is that the components with identical frequency should coincide within the coherence time and the coherence length. Interference can emerge not only between such laser pulses, which were generated at the same time. Those interferometers which establish interference between consecutive laser pulses at their outputs are called asymmetric interferometers. In this case, the optical path difference of the arms must equal to the multiple of distance between subsequent pulses of the train. Based on Equation (10), pulses propagating in different pathways will overlap each other in time if the difference of the total group delays between the arms and the delay corresponding to
In the frames of the spectral resolution of ultrashort laser pulses, the meaning of coherence time slightly differs from its common definition, since here the coherence of the individual modes of the frequency comb must be considered. This falls in the picosecond range, taking into consideration that the line width of a mode is approx. 150 Hz [
Demonstration of separated effect of phase derivates on simulated interferograms. The values of the applied phase derivates are
With increasing distance measured from the position
As it may become obvious from the preceding sections,
Please note that this is basically a single-shot, linear method which describes the absolute spectrum and the relative spectral phase of the pulse to be characterized, so that the relative temporal shape can be calculated to great accuracy. Linear interferometric methods can be utilized in most of the practical applications like spectroscopy, linear and nonlinear dispersion measurements, time-resolved studies, as well as compressor alignment and beam monitoring along high intensity laser systems. On the one hand, these methods provide the experimentalists with more accurate information than the nonlinear measurements methods, which offer an absolute temporal shape, but with a factor of 2–5 higher error than the linear methods. On the other hand, the linear methods would never be able to provide the absolute pulse duration on their own, since the first-order auto- (and cross-) correlation function to be determined by linear interferometry offers coherence information of the interacting pulses only [
Although the
In the second step, the sample having a geometrical length of
After this adjustment, the equation
Depending on the nature of the sample, further measurements are also possible if the spectral phase shift of the sample can be tuned in such a way that neither the sample length nor the phase derivatives of the other components of the interferometer change (for example, changing the temperature of an optical element, the concentration of a solution, or the pressure of a gas). Besides such tuning of a state variable of the sample, equal group delays should be adjusted before each measurement if necessary, and the differences of the phase derivatives will finally be determined. If the dispersions of all the other elements within the system remain constant during the series of measurement, the correlation between the object's variable quantity and the phase derivatives of the sample's material can be represented by a fitted function.
After the first experimental demonstration of pulse measurement by the
When the determination of specific phase derivatives are the aim of an experiment, the precision is affected by the measurement accuracy of the geometrical length of the object. Depending on the length of the object, e.g., interferometric length measurement methods (for under mm scale), micrometer screw gauge (for mm scale), vernier caliper (for mm and cm scale) or laser rangefinder (for cm and m scale) are to be used. Hence, the geometrical length can be determined with an accuracy higher than 0.1 percent, which is at least one order of magnitude better than the accuracy of the phase derivatives.
A modified version of crossed-beam interferometry-based techniques combined with
One of the most common methods used for the measurement of spectral phase shift is the so-called spectrally resolved interferometry,
One of the most widely used Fourier transform-based evaluation methods of
This method can be used with broadband laser pulses as well as with continuously operating white light sources, since the only precondition of the measurement is that the spectral bandwidth of the light source should be broad enough.
Steps of the spectral phase calculation by Fourier-transform
When overwhelming difference in dispersion of the sample and reference arms is present,

Let us suppose that the two beams are coaxial, and they reach the detector at the position
It is worth mentioning that the elliptical nature of the two-dimensional fringes (as illustrated in
A spectrograph equipped with two-dimensional detector for this measurement in order to ensure collinearity has been suggested. However, the position of the stationary phase point can be determined even if only a one-dimensional detector (e.g., a diode array) is available, positioned parallel to the wavelength axis. Stationary phase point method does not exploit the information about the dispersion of the sample encoded in the two-dimensional structure of the fringes.

One of the simplest methods of interferogram evaluation is based on cosine function fitting. This method requires the intensity distribution of the individual arms. Substituting these values into Equation (16), a normalized intensity

The significance of this technique was emphasized by the
The characterization of the angular dispersion of ultrashort laser pulses is inevitable when complete spatiotemporal compression of the pulses is necessary. When the angular dispersion is not compensated carefully, it can lead to an unexpected decrement in the peak intensity. At the same time, spectral components may also be separated spatially, thereby inducing a so-called spatial chirp, which involves an asymmetry of the spectral content in the beam profile. A direct consequence of this spatial chirp is the tilt of the phase front, which raises some further unwanted increase in the pulse duration. Elimination of angular dispersion (
A simple and direct method to measure of propagation direction angular direction is based on spectrally and spatially recorded intensity distribution of the focused spot of the beam. The layout of the technique is shown in
Schematic diagram for measuring the propagation direction angular dispersion.
An achromatic lens or spherical mirror is used to focus the beam on the slit of the spectrograph. In case of angular dispersion, spectral components have different propagation directions, therefore, in the focal plane, also a different spatial position. This position
Unfortunately, this method can only detect the angular dispersion along the cross-section of the beam, which is defined by the slit of the spectrograph. In most cases, it is highly desired to ensure that the beam is free of angular dispersion in both horizontal and vertical direction. It can be executed only when the beam or the spectrograph is rotated by 90°. For this purpose, it is most convenient to use a mechanical beam rotator, which is practically a twistable periscope, but does not alternate the direction of the beam when it is passing through.
Since this method is limited to measure along one spatial dimension only, at least two subsequent measurements required for complete beam profile characterization. This leads to a lengthy and iterative alignment of the stretcher-compressor stages of the
When a broadband light beam is affected by angular dispersion, its spectral components will propagate in various directions. If the beam is focused directly on the sensor chip of a two-dimensional detector by an achromatic imaging element, a relatively elongated spot will appear in the image compared to a beam without the effect of dispersion. The intensity distribution of this elongated spot is in direct correlation with the spectral angular deviation. However, the spot itself is not suitable for accurate measurements. On one hand, chromatic aberration of the spot must be separated from optical aberrations of different nature. On the other hand, this elongated spot contains no information on the spectral calibration required for the measurement,
A method for single-shot, two-dimensional measurement of propagation direction angular dispersion of broadband light sources (e.g., ultrashort laser beams) was introduced recently. In this case, spectral calibration is achieved by spectrally filtering the beam in order to create well-separated peaks in the spectrum. Since these components are still overlapping spatially, we use an achromatic lens to image them onto a two-dimensional detector. In this way, the spectrally separated components of an angularly dispersed beam will appear as dissociated spots on the surface of the detector according to the orientation of the angular dispersion.
The role of the spectral filter can be filled with various, either passive or active solutions. For example, multiple bandpass interference filters or wavelength-selective reflectors can be used for this purpose. Another very simple idea is to block parts of the spectrally resolved beam in the stretcher; although it might be not suitable, if the stretcher itself is the object of examination. Acousto-optical programmable modulators can be used also to create an arbitrarily modified spectrum. A less expensive solution to create separated spectral peaks is the use of a Fabry–Perot interferometer (
Typical layout for simple, two-dimensional detection of propagation dispersion angular dispersion (
The scheme of the technique can be seen in
When the beam has weak angular dispersion only, it is possible that the spectral spots cannot be separated effectively with the base length modulation of the
Experimental verification with different prisms showed that the precision does not decrease significantly compared to the one-dimensional method, as standard deviation from the expected values was 0.15 μrad/nm [
Experimental set-up of the interferometric detection of phase front angular dispersion with an inverted Mach–Zehnder interferometer.
The angle between the phase fronts will then be measured by spectrally and spatially resolved interferometry, and will depend on the wavelength due to the angular dispersion. If a small angle is adjusted between the beams in the direction of polarization, then this (wavelength-independent) angle will also occur between the phase fronts, and thereby the interference pattern will be modulated in the direction of polarization. The frequency of this modulation is directly proportional to the angle and to the frequency of the light. The manually adjusted angle between the beams can be measured as the function of the wavelength by a two-dimensional imaging spectrograph having a slit oriented in the direction of polarization. The derivative of the measured angle with respect to the wavelength results in a value twice the phase front angular dispersion occurring in the direction of polarization.
The angle between the phase fronts as defined by Equation (17) will depend on the wavelength. Using the parameters
An inappropriate adjustment of the optical elements in a
Accuracy of the phase front angular dispersion depends on the detector noise similarly as it was shown in the case of
Spatial invertion of the beam profile can be effectively used in nonlinear autocorrelators as well. Since no spectral dimension is needed during the evaluation, both spatial directions can be inverted, hence pulse front tilt can be detected in 2D in a single-shot measurement [
Experiments with intense ultrashort pulses require precise characterization of both spatial and temporal properties. For this purpose, the class of diagnostic tools based on linear schemes has been found to be simple, fast and reliable. In this review article, we demonstrated their capabilities and some of their potential applications. The combination of interferometry with spectrally resolved detection provides a flexible, multifunctional technique, which can be displayed best by spectrally and spatially resolved interferometry (

GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 | BFG OCX MaxCORE -
15 - Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) | Video transcoding
Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA)
As you guys know, ever since GeForce series 8 NVIDIA is getting pretty keen on is utilizing the GPU for functions other than rendering your games. Face it, the floating point parallel processing power of GPUs as shown today are humongous. There's a lot of potential doing other things rather than just gaming with your graphics cards.
So there's more to the GeForce GTX 200 series than playing games. More and more non-gaming related features are and can be offloaded towards the GPU. Roughly a year or two ago NVIDIA introduced CUDA. CUDA is a software layer that allows software developers to to 'speak' with the GPU and have it process data using your graphics card. This really is the most simple & basic description I can give it.
Taking it up a notch; still a very simplified explanation: if you can program in C++, chances are pretty good you'll be able to 'speak' to that GPU and get it to return data to you. Here's where we dive into what NVIDIA refers to as 'GPU Beyond' - The GPU evolving beyond graphics applications, beyond gaming. Some dry examples of what you can use the GPU for.
- Physics simulation
- Signal processing
- Computation
- Computational geometry, biology, chemistry, physics, finance.
- Data management
Now I know this all is very abstract, especially to explain. But for the years to come we'll start to see some pretty interesting applications that run over or get assisted by your GeForce GPU. The biggest problem with CUDA is that 99% of the CUDA application are specific to a company or internal projects, therefore that 99% of the software we never get to see. So it's very hard to understand for the end user, specifically the consumer, what CUDA can achieve with your graphics card. To keep it understandable I need to keep it real simple. And I will do so with explaining some examples of where CUDA can help.
Example 1: Transcoding Video on the GPU
Let's go to a more practical consumer application. Most of us have an iPhone, iTouch or iPod, right? I don't know about you but whenever I need to catch a flight, train or just traveling in general, I like to have some movies on my iTouch. My flights are sometimes inter-continental, and 10+ hour flights have to be the most boring thing ever. So to kill time I like to watch some hand-picked movies or tv-series on my iTouch.
Now if you know what I'm talking about, and do that on a regular basis too then you'll share my pain of transcoding video files. For example if you have a nice high-def movie you like to transcode towards an iPod (MP4) compatible format the PC with any modern processor will crunch that data for hours (depending on the source material of course) Example for my last trip I transcoded high-definition files towards an MP4 compatible format for my iTouch. My PC has been transcoding 10 GB of content and I think it took like 15 hours to do so. There's only one word for this, and that's nauseating.
So the problem at hand: if you like to fill that iPod with video content, your PC could be at work for a day easily. Quite annoying.
We recently got in contact with a company called Elimental. Among the applications they are working on, they have a piece of software called 'Badaboom media converter'. This company is working right now on several software applications that will manage the transcoding process over the GPU, and it does so with CUDA. Now here's the point I'm slowly working towards.
We've seen what it can do, and it's really interesting. Where a PC with a modern processor would take, say five hours to transcode. With the CUDA based Badaboom media converter (badabing? Sopranos? or is that my twisted mind?) you can cut down that time massively.
Fact is that once you transcode over the GPU instead of over the CPU, the speedup is significant. The software still is in development stages, but once released and 100% stable .. it'll rock your GPU.

Late last night, Congressman Todd Akin (MO-2) joined Republican members of the House Budget Committee in voting to pass the 2012 budget resolution as amended.
Akin commented:
"By passing this budget through committee, House Republicans have shown that we will make the tough choices the American people elected us to make. The other party has proven unwilling to pass any budget -- let alone one that averts our looming debt crisis. In fact, President Obama's budget actually doubles the national debt."
"We will move the budget toward balance and pay down the national debt by $6 trillion dollars. We will have an adult conversation about how to restructure entitlement programs for the future. We will protect the most important constitutional functions of government and we will put America back on the path to prosperity."
"Unlike other spending proposals, our budget does not kick the can further down the road. Instead, we defund Obamacare, and restructure Medicare and Medicaid, while preserving benefits for those in and near retirement."
"It is simply immoral to say we will spend lavishly and live well now if we do so by burdening the next generation with unsustainable debt. It's time for a reality-based budget, like the one our committee passed today, that forces government to be more efficient now and reduces our debt burden in the future."

The 'Evergreen' singer will perform at the Academy Awards for the second time after singing 'A Star Is Born' theme song in 1977.
Barbra Streisand is added to the lineup of musical guests who will make live performances at the upcoming 85th annual Academy Awards. It will mark the second time she sings at the Oscars after her March 28, 1977 performance during the 49th annual Academy Awards at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles.
"In an evening that celebrates the artistry of movies and music," says producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, "how could the telecast be complete without Barbra Streisand? We are honored that she has agreed to do a very special performance on this year's Oscars, her first time singing on the show in 36 years."
36 years ago, Streisand sang "Evergreen", a theme song for rock musical movie "A Star Is Born" where she played the female lead. She won Best Original Song for the soundtrack along with lyricist Paul Williams that night. She received her trophy from her "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" duet partner Neil Diamond.
She got her first Oscar for Best Actress in 1968's "Funny Girl", and was nominated again in 1973 for her lead performance in "The Way We Were". She was also nominated for producing the Best Picture nominee "The Prince of Tides" (1991) which she also directed, and for co-writing the 1996 original song "I Finally Found Someone".
The "Yentl" director recorded "I Finally Found Someone" with Bryan Adams for movie "The Mirror Has Two Faces" (1996), but she did not sing it at the 1997 Academy Awards. She chose to watch from the audience seat as her "Tell Him" collaborator Celine Dion performed the song at the prestigious prize-giving event.
Oscars for outstanding film achievements of 2012 will be presented Sunday night, February 24, at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center. "Family Guy" star Seth MacFarlane is tapped as a host and Adele will sing Best Original Song nominee, "Skyfall" soundtrack, as part of a tribute to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the James Bond movie franchise.
Norah Jones is also scheduled to perform. She will deliver another Best Original Song nominee, "Everybody Needs a Best Friend" that host MacFarlane co-wrote for the highest-grossing original R-rated comedy of all time "Ted".

Wrexham failed to close the gap of leaders Newport County as they suffered a 2-1 defeat against Hereford United at The Racecourse.
Newport had been beaten the previous evening by Alfreton Town but the Reds could not take advantage and remain four points behind the Exiles with a game in hand.
Hereford took the lead after eight minutes.
Dean Keates cleared a Josh O'Keefe header off the line following a corner but the Hereford midfielder put the ball back across goal and Chris Todd nodded into the net at the back post.
Wrexham upped the tempo in the second half and scored an equaliser in the 58th minute.
Dean Keates' corner hit the far post and rebounded out to Stephen Wright who found the back of the net with an overhead kick from close range.
Joe Clarke went close to giving Wrexham the lead but he struck the post with 10 minutes remaining while a diving header from Dean Keates skimmed the top of the bar.
However, Hereford made it 2-1 in the first minute of added time as Luke Graham got on the end of a free-kick and that turned out to be the winner.
WREXHAM (4-3-3): Coughlin; Stephen Wright, Devine, Westwood, Ashton; Harris, Keates, Clarke; Rushton, Morrell (Cieslewicz 46), Danny Wright (Ogleby 81). Subs not used: Alfei, Riley, Hunt.

Through their research, faculty seek to understand and eliminate health disparities in those populations that bear the greatest burden of illness: the poor, African Americans, Latinos, and those living in rural areas. In 2002, the School created the Center for Innovation in Health Disparities Research in partnership with North Carolina Central University and Winston-Salem State University, two Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The Center's primary goal is to promote culturally competent research to reduce health disparities. Faculty in the SON are studying factors that contribute to greater illness burden among African Americans and Latinos and are testing interventions to improve, among others, the health of Latina mothers and their infants and toddlers, African American parents and their school age children, African American adults of all ages, and women prisoners.

Frio Brine Pilot: Field Validation of Numerical Simulation of CO2 Storage
For the Frio Brine Pilot we injected 1,600 tons of supercritical CO2 into a brine-saturated formation 1,500 m below surface and measured transport between two wells 30 meters apart though a moderately homogeneous, high permeability (2.5 Darcy) sandstone. Modeling using TOUGH2 with parameters based on detailed study of petrophysics predicted that breakthough of CO2 to the observation well would occur in 2.5 to 6 days. During the injection phase of the field experiment, breakthough of CO2 occurred 30 percent earlier than predicted. Logging using the Schlumberger reservoir saturation tool determined that by the fourth day after the initiation of injection, the plume thickness was half what and that saturation in preferred flow zones was higher than had been predicted by the model showing that factors favoring rapid flow such as high permeability zones or gravity override were larger than predicted. As injection continued for 9 days, plume thickness increased by addition of CO2 in the lower part of the plume, culminating with an observed saturation profile similar to that predicted by the model. CO2 saturation was variable but was estimated to be in excess of 50% of porosity.
Post injection saturation changes observed as CO2
migrated though the steeply dipping sandstone under gravitational forces
appears to reverse the trend observed during injection. Continued observation
will yield information about saturation history significant to understanding
CO2 trapping mechanisms. Downhole pressure and temperature proved to be
sensitive indicators of plume behavior, showing changes in plume as CO2
saturation changed before and after breakthough.

I mentioned to DH that I really want to get stuff together this weekend (getting all the stuff we didn't get at the shower, putting up the shelves in the baby's room, begin packing the hospital bag, etc.). He was totally confused about why, so I said "I'll be 36 weeks next Tuesday." He's know where I am all along, but he got this glazed look and said "really?!" It's hitting him that we're getting close!
Thanks for sympathy about GBS. I think I felt bad because I'm a good student and I hate to "fail" tests. In a way it's good, though. I think I've had sort of naive confidence since I'm not having any problems, eat well, etc. This is like a reminder about how much of this is outside of my control, about how I need to cultivate not just confidence, but strength to accept circumstances I may not like. (Though of course I'm relieved by how tiny the chances of it causing problems are.)

TDK Launches New Power Supply Transformers with Optimized Core Configurations
Compact Sizes Up to 30% Smaller than Earlier TDK Products
New SRW2425EG power supply transformer (right) and earlier TDK product (left).
The new product is approximately 25% smaller.
April 18, 2005
TDK Corporation announced today it will begin sales at the end of May 2005 of a new series of compact, low-cost power supply transformers designed for a wide range of different applications. TDK optimized the core materials and configurations used in standard power supply transformer components according to the application.
TDK performed a major overhaul of its power supply transformer products, creating new transformers that are up to 30% more compact and that require up to 20% less mounting space than earlier products with the same output. In order to create transformers optimized for specific applications such as AC adaptors and various types of audio-visual devices, TDK developed and adopted new technologies including new core configurations and thinner cores. TDK has applied for six different patents and design registrations with respect to the new core and bobbin configurations.
In order to make the transformers smaller, TDK selected core materials optimized for specific applications and adopted innovative core configurations, resulting in substantially lighter-weight cores. This series of transformers can be used in a variety of application devices that require low-profile shapes, compactness, and low-heat generation and will contribute to smaller and lighter-weight devices.
The new of transformers will be on display at the TDK booth at the Techno-Frontier 2005 show that will open at the Nippon Convention Center (Makuhari Messe) on April 20.
Main Applications
AC adaptors, battery chargers, DC-DC converters, audio-visual devices, inverter household appliances, LCD televisions, plasma display panel televisions.
Main Features
Compact and Lightweight
TDK adopted different approaches for reducing size and weight according to the transformer applications. By conducting extensive magnetic circuit simulations, TDK was able to adopt revolutionary elliptical cores in multiple output transformers (such as those used in DVD players, air conditioners, and other consumer electronics), reducing both the core and transformer body volume and weight and cutting mounting area by 22.5% and volume by 27.0%. In addition, by investigating optimal bobbin terminal core opening shapes and reducing the core thickness, TDK has minimized the weight of cores used in single output transformers.
