Good! People have it in their heads that all spending is bad. You really think the private sector is going to repave the highways?Nightmare scenario: Walmart decides to build a freeway that only its trucks and the trucks of other companies owned by Walmart, can drive on. Competition dips, and next thing you know we are paying a fortune for groceries. The government has some responsibilities and infrastructure is the big one.----------------------------------Check out our Peterbilt Parts

Stock options account for big paychecks for CEOS in NW
John Legere, who heads Bellevue-based T-Mobile US, was the highest-paid CEO for a NW public company last year, with a total pay package of $29.2 million, Equilar data show. But three-quarters of Legere's pay, or $22.5 million, was in stock-based compensation, which comes with hypothetical valu
Special to The Seattle Times
Pulling away: 5 highest-paid local CEOs
Stock benefits separated the highest-paid executives of Northwest public companies from the rest in 2013.
1) John T. Legere, T-Mobile US, $29.2 million total
2) Darrell Cavens, zulily, $27.3 million total
3) Howard Schultz, Starbucks, $17.2 million total
4) Mark Parker, Nike, $15.4 million total
5) Spencer Rascoff, Zillow, $10.6 million total
Source: Equilar and SEC documents
The five highest-paid executives of Northwest public companies posted big numbers for their total compensation last year. In each case, half or more — and sometimes much, much more — of the executive's pay came in the form of stock.
John Legere, president, CEO and director of Bellevue-based T-Mobile US, was the highest-paid CEO for a Northwest public company last year, with a total pay package of $29.2 million, Equilar data show. But three-quarters of Legere's pay, or $22.5 million, was in stock-based compensation, which comes with hypothetical values.
Stock and option grants are often pegged to performance and price targets in the future. If the company misses the target, or the stock price sinks, the CEO gets only a fraction of the award — or nothing at all.
Darrell Cavens, president and CEO of zulily, the online clothing retailer based in Seattle, was the second highest-paid CEO, with a total pay package of $27.3 million. Nearly 99 percent of his pay — or $26.9 million — was stock. Cavens took the company public in November.
Coming in third was Howard Schultz, chairman, president and CEO of Seattle-based Starbucks. His total pay was $17.2 million, and 77 percent of it was stock.
Mark Parker, president and CEO of Portland-based Nike, was fourth with a total pay package of $15.4 million. Spencer Rascoff, CEO of Zillow, the online real-estate company based in Seattle, was fifth, with a total pay of $10.5 million. Parker and Rascoff also received at least half of their pay in stock.
Large stock awards are hardly limited to the Northwest's highest-paid CEOs. The Equilar data show that four out of five Northwest executives were paid with stock. For 44 percent of Northwest public company CEOs, stock was the majority of their pay.

Added Sep 9, 2012

Sydney, Australia
I'll start with the name first. Sometimes coming up with names for projects is easy, sometimes I have no clue. For this one, I'd had no real clue, other than somehow referencing the fact it's based on early 1940s teen girl pinafores. Then last night while wearing it, as we were walking by the harbour to the Sydney Opera House to go to a performance, the wind started picking up under the skirt, and one of my friends commented that it was doing a Marilyn. So given the schoolgirlish style of the pattern, and the skirt's propensity for going flying, I felt this was an appropriate name. The photos were all taken inside, about 20 metres down the hall from an open door, and the wind still managed to have its way with my skirt.
This dress was semi-self drafted, in that I saw a few patterns like this online last year when looking for a 40s/50s party gown dress. Unfortunately I didn't buy or even write down what any of the patterns were, so I had to kind of make it from memory. To make it easier on myself, I used the skirt from Simplicity 2444 as a basis, and just shortened it, added scalloping, and pockets. For the waistband, I used the selvage from the fabric. The scalloping of the skirt and straps were drafted from a vintage 1942 Anne Adams pattern, number 4768 (for the pockets I used a large thread spool to get the small scallops). So while I did create new pattern pieces for this dress, they were all based on things I already had.
The fabric is a lolly green fine weave houndstooth, that I managed to find for $5 a metre. While it is wool, it isn't overly heavy so the pleats still sit flat and it isn't hot to wear. It is lined with plain cream cotton.

Media, politics and culture.
Rachel Maddow, in strong opening segment last night on candidates getting away with racist statements this year—no "macaca" downfalls—kept mentioning a Nixon architect of the Southern Strategy, and quoted him twice. She even put his blunt words from 1970, urging the GOP to ignore blacks and focus strictly on white voters, up on the screen, but oddly failed to name him.
This led some, in online comments, to presume it was former Nixon aide Pat Buchanan, who certainly seems capable of this in the past, perhaps even the present. Was Rachel protecting an MSNBC colleague?
That's wrong. The former GOP strategist was Kevin Phillips. So why did Maddow choose not to name him?
I can only imagine that she was kindly avoiding tarring someone who has gone to harshly criticize the GOP, appear often on Bill Moyers' PBS show, and write several valuable books, the latest American Theocracy. Still, made for an awkward moment.
Phillips did not invent the term "southern strategy" for the successful drive by the GOP to wrest control of the region from the Democrats, but became most associated with it, after he was interviewed for an article with that phrase in its headline on May 17, 1970. Phillips in that piece said, and Maddow quoted it, "From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that... but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats."
In fact, Phillips, in his influential book from that era, The Emerging Republican Majority, urged the politics of polarization in the north as well.
Bob Herbert in a New York Times column later observed, "The truth is that there was very little that was subconscious about the GOP's relentless appeal to racist whites. Tired of losing elections, it saw an opportunity to renew itself by opening its arms wide to white voters who could never forgive the Democratic Party for its support of civil rights and voting rights for blacks."

TODAY's MUSIC
America's poet laureate Chuck Berry turned 80 yestereday. Here's John Lennon paying tribute, plus Chuck doing "Johnny B. Goode" with Julian Lennon.
Just received an e-mail from my former managing editor at Editor & Publisher (my exit came in January after 10 years) Shawn Moynihan: "The editorial staff of Editor & Publisher has been eliminated by its new owners, Duncan McIntosh Co. inc. As such, I'm writing to let you know I am no longer E&P's managing editor/online editor."
One of my old colleagues in the once-sturdy VNU/Nielsen magazine unit, Tony Case, was first with the news. Top editor Mark Fitzgerald and tech editor Jim Rosenberg also were axed. The new editor works for owner Duncan McIntosh who took over in January—his other titles, based in Irving, Ca., are boating and fishing magazines. Richard Prince has a more lengthy report here.
As Prince notes, the once-vital E&P site was only a "shadow" of its former self. Ads largely disappeared. The magazine's top writer, Jennifer Saba, left months ago for Reuters and was never replaced.
McIntosh, when he took over the magazine, vowed (in a meeting with me) that his first order of business was a complete redesign of the magazine's once-popular and influential dinosaur of a Web site. The magazine had long advocated shifts to the Web, even holds an annual new media conference, but its site continued to lack video and comments, among other modern features, and it hadn't gotten a facelift since 2002. The promised update never happened.
In fact, the site retreated from new offerings, giving up its podcast and its most popular blog (by a wide margin), The E&P Pub. Traffic was only a fraction of that at its high point a couple of years in the past, as McIntosh and Fitzgerald focused heavily on the business side of newspapers, not content and editorial debates over what newspapers actually produce.
The Nielsen Co. had shuttered the magazine last December, but I soon received dozens of emails from journalism outlets, foundations or investors interested in quickly reviving the magazine. Nielsen then pursued several serious offers, ultimately choosing McIntosh—which raised questions right away, given his California base and the types of publications he produces, especially since there were other offers to choose from.

TODAY's MUSIC
A new musical ode to Christine O'Donnell: She's not so bad, just stark raving mad.
The upcoming issue of Harper's, out on October 26, features a major piece by longtime TV and media writer Marvin Kitman titled, "Murdoch Triumphant: How We Could Have Stopped Him—Twice."
The issue also feature Lewis Lapham's farewell "Notebook" column for the magazine—he started it in 1984—with Thomas Frank taking over next month.
Kitman traces Murdoch and media history from the 1970s, following the News Corp. chief's role in the decline of American journalism and rise of infotainment, not to mention Fox News.
He argues that regulatory agencies on two occasions failed disasterously to halt Murdoch's "stranglehold" on cable news. "But both efforts failed—out of confusion, crossed loyalties, self-preservation, and a misappropriation of the idea of free speech," Kitman declares. "Had either succeeded, our most feared media villain would have been just another megalomaniacal press lord from abroad who was sent back where he came from, like Conrad Black or Robert Maxwell."
Kitman probes in-depth the Honig lawsuit—filed by a lawyer working for the NAACP in 1994 and charging Murdoch with misleading the FCC to gain a toehold by securing Channel 5 in New York—and "TIme Warner's capitulation."
The result of this "failure to stop the barbarian at the gates of New York" was the arrival of Fox News in 1996, which also "marked the demise of Ted Turner as a player in the media wars." The cover image, in fact, shows Murdoch knocking out Turner in a boxing ring.
Kitman concludes: "Fifteen years ago, we had a chance to stop the relentless march of Rupert Murdoch. His recent million-dollar contribution to the Republican Party is just gravy, for he was already the heaviest hitter in the race to shape public opinion around causes he championed."
The piece actually opens with the latest development—News Corp.'s one million donation to the Repubican Governors Association—and the impact on the Citizens United court decision.

In 1934, Upton Sinclair, the longtime socialist, swept the Democratic primary for governor in California, leading one of the greatest mass movements in US history—End Poverty in California (EPIC). To defeat him, his opponents (for the first time in America) turned to outside advertising, publicity, and media experts. Hollywood also took its first all-out plunge into politics, and my segment with Laura Flanders includes excerpts from the first use of the screen to destroy a candidate—faked newsreels ordered by MGM's saintly producer Irving Thalberg.

Bambu - Paper Thin
Artist: Bambu
Featuring: Chace Infinite
Producer: Anon
Album: ...paper thin... EP
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 7 votes )
There are few social issues that affect inner-city dwellers more directly than urban gentrification, the process by which wealthier individuals muscle low-income residents out of a neighborhood. On Paper Thin, one-half of his new maxi-single, Correctly Done emcee Bambu and Self Scientific member Chace Infinite (recently heard on 1982's The Darkest Cloud) offer 'hood residents a radical solution: when you're feeling marginalized and beaten down, hit back! Rather than crafting an instrumental as aggressive as the subject matter would suggest, Anon takes a more left-of-center approach, delivering a shifty blend of bouncy bass, piano and… is that accordion? Whether or not you believe the desperate measures described here are justified, Bambu and Chace make a compelling case against complacency; as the headliner emphasizes in the jazzy outro, positive vibes are no substitute for action. For more from the West Coast up-and-comer, grab a copy of his ...paper cuts… EP, out now online. Also, watch for this track's official video accompaniment to arrive in mid-August!

The NAA has issued another of its regular updates on the state of the U.S. daily newspaper Web audience. As usual, the numbers, sourced from Nielsen Online, sound impressive:
Newspaper Web sites attracted more than 70.3 million unique visitors in June (35.9 percent of all Internet users), according to a custom analysis provided by Nielsen Online for the Newspaper Association of America. Newspaper Web site visitors generated 3.5 billion page views during the month, spending 2.7 billion minutes browsing the sites over more than 597 million total sessions.
NAA mentions that Nielsen has changed its methodology (in part by increasing the sample size of its online usage survey to more than 230,000 panelists), so the numbers should not be compared with those issued in prior months. But just in case you do compare, they are nicely up in the unique visitor and pageview categories — so far so good.
Comparison with past performance is one way to put the numbers in context, but another that seems appropriate is to compare them with the total online audience. In other words, just how much of time spent online, and page views, are going to newspaper Web sites? And how do newspaper numbers compare with top Web brands? The answers are, unfortunately, rather dismal.
A few weeks back Nielsen issued some information, also based on its new methods, painting a picture of the total online audience in June. Combining those number with the ones put forward by NAA, here's the whole picture in context (all figures for the month of June, all from Nielsen Online):
Further context: the total audience as measured in unique visitors for the top eight online brands, individually, exceeded the audience for all newspapers combined. Those eight, with their unique audiences, are: Google (147,778,000), Yahoo! (133,139,000), MSN/WindowsLive/Bing (111,352,000), Microsoft (96,071,000, AOL (92,705,000), YouTube (87,686,000), Facebook (87,254,000) and Fox Interactive (72,724,000). Most of these brands also far exceed the average time spent, in total, at newspaper sites (38 minutes, 24 seconds in June). Time spent by the average visitor at Facebook, alone, was 4 hours, 39 minutes, or more than seven times the newspaper average.
The challenge to newspapers is not simply to improve their numbers over prior months, or to post numbers that look impressive at first blush — the challenge is to gain market share. To do this, newspapers need to build not only unique visitors, but visits per person, pages per visit, and time spent per visit. At less than 1 percent of page views or time spent, newspapers are barely on the radar screen.
The dialogue in the industry should not be about building paywalls, punishing aggregators, tweaking copyright laws or anything else that would constrict, rather than build, the online audience for newspaper content. And it should not be about "protecting print."
The dialogue should be primarily about transforming newspapers into online-first digital enterprises. That's what those eight brands I listed are, that's what everyone working for them understands, that's what drives every decision they make, and that's how they are able individually to far outpull the entire newspaper industry in online audience share.
*The release as originally posted transposed some numbers but I've confirmed with Nielsen that 57 seconds is the correct time per page view.

Tracking the time I spend writing
For instance, I've always wanted to get a good measurement of the time I spend writing each day. That said, I didn't want to have to remember to "clock-in" or "clock-out." It seemed to me that Rescue Time could help with this because it is constantly tracking my activity, and Rescue Time should therefore be able to tell me how much time I spend writing. After some exploration of the API, I found out how to pull the information I needed from Rescue Time, and now, I have scripts that can automatically produce a chart of the time I spend writing each day. Here's an example of the last 60 days of my writing:
The top 10 tools I've used in 2014
As part of my effort to simplify the tools and technology I use, and to automate as much as I can, a baseline of what exactly I use would be a helpful starting point. Fortunately, RescueTime captures all of this data and has some canned reports that show just where I've spent my time in front of they keyboard. I started using RescueTime in January, so this data covers a period of January to the present, nearly a full year. Here, then, are the top 10 tools I've used on all computers during that time.
Twitter is number one on the list, and while that surprised me at first, I quickly realized that I am constantly jumping in and out of Twitter, in an effort to keep up with those friends and colleagues that I follow. (I rarely post from Twitter. I use Buffer for that.) Still, 221 hours for the better of the year is quite a bit of time spent in Twitter. Red items are those that Rescue Time considers "unproductive." Twitter can certainly be a distraction, but I wouldn't consider all of it unproductive.
Next on the list at 219 hours, much to my dismay, is Microsoft Outlook. This is what I use at the day job, and it is among the worst email programs I've encountered. The thing is, I've also been using it since it first existed, and there's no way of getting away from it. What it tells me is that a great deal of my job–too much, I think–is spent dealing with email messages, and calendar appointments.
Google Docs is next on the list at 205 hours. The vast majority of this time–probably 90% or more–is spent writing. Ideally, I'd like to see this move up to number one over the next year.
Gmail follows at 169 hours. It's still a lot of time to be spending reading and writing email messages, but that number is almost certainly down from what it would have been the previous year, thanks to a great deal of automation I'm able to do with Gmail using tools like Boomerang, for instance.
From there, things begin to drop off pretty rapidly. Facebook shows up in 7th place, but even that seems like too much to me.
Using the RescueTime baseline to find more time to write
With actual numbers in hand based on my behavior, I can begin to change my behavior and measure that change over time. First and foremost on the list is a tradeoff: more writing time for less social media time.
My Twitter and Facebook time totaled 310 hours in 2014 to-date. My writing time totaled under 200 hours. I could easily get more time for writing by cutting back on social media. Cutting back doesn't necessarily mean no participating. Tools like Buffer have allowed me to schedule tweets and Facebook posts head of time. Whenever I post to my blog, it gets automatically posted to various social media outlets. What I think I need to do is make better use of the time I spend reading my social media feeds.
Right now, I read stuff throughout the day in a very fragmented fashion. I only follow people on Twitter that I am interested in keeping up with. I know that conventional wisdom is that if you want more followers, you follow everyone. But I honestly don't know how people with 17,000 followers and who follow 19,000 people can keep up with it all. Probably they don't even try to. Yes, there are lists that I could build, but that takes time to create and manage, and I'm looking to spend less time here, not more.
It seems to me that a fair number would be to spend half of the time in social media that I spend on writing. This year, the hours for both categories gives me a total of about 500 hours. So if I have 500 hours to spend between social media and writing, and I want to spend double the time writing than on social media, then let's assume w represents the time I want to spend writing:
0.5w + w = 500
This simplifies to:
1.5w = 500
And solving for w, we find that,

Line 6 AMPLIFi FX100
Line 6 has always been a company at the forefront of the guitar world's latest technological innovations. From high quality amplifiers to powerful multi-effects processors, the company has delivered consistently in terms of quality and innovation. And with the AMPLIFi FX100, its latest member of the forward-thinking AMPLIFi range of products, Line 6 seems to be stepping into the future of guitar effects processors. If this step is a hit or miss, however, remains to be seen as I delve into a detailed review of the AMPLIFi FX100.
Boss ME-80 Review
There are three main qualities that factor in when creating a great multi-effects unit: sound quality, versatility and simplicity. No one can deny that the multi-effects units available on the market today have come a long way in terms of sound quality and versatility. But the one area that most of these units fall short at is simplicity. However, Roland seems to be nailing it of late with its BOSS ME series multi-effects units. Today I take a look at BOSS's latest offering, the ME-80.
DigiTech RP360 and RP360XP Review
Over the years multi-effects processors have gone from being the excitable disappointments of the guitar world to becoming a series part of any guitarist's arsenal of equipment. And over the past few years DigiTech has been a serious player in the multi-effects processor market offering guitarists units that are easy to use, affordable and versatile. Today I take a look at DigiTech's latest upgrades to its iconic RP series the RP360 and RP360XP; both which pack in some serious effects and functionalities into a handy-sized package.
Digitech Element and Element XP
The DigiTech Element and Element XP are two of DigiTech's more recent offerings that are both affordable and versatile. Both these pedals are jam packed with hundreds of effects and amp and cabinet modulations, and come complete with a built in tuner and drum machine. The only difference between the two is that the Element XP comes with an expression pedal and four additional expression-based effects.
Digitech iPB-10
Technology is changing the world around us by the day, and multi-effects pedals are no different. The Digitech iPB-10 uses the iPad as its display screen and user interface; all you have to do is download the free app and dock your iPad into the unit. This idea builds on the smaller iStomp, which you could hook up to an iOS device and load a stompbox model onto. Now you can have up to ten different pedal effects, one amp and one cab model simultaneously on a multi-effects unit with a drastically-improved user interface.
Fender Mustang Floor
Fender's Mustang series of amplifiers are digital powerhouses, coming equipped with amp models and in-built effects to play around with. The success of this series has led Fender to fully enter the world of digital multi-effects with the Fender Mustang Floor. It's essentially the disembodied processor of the Mustang III/IV/V shoved into a sturdy metal chassis that looks like it's designed to survive a nuclear apocalypse.
Line 6 M5 Stompbox Modeler
Line 6 spoils us a little with their M-series multi-effects pedals. We expect basically everything, and the M13 is the epitome of this approach. You can combine any four of 109 effects at will, and you have 15 footswitches to play with. The M9 is smaller, boasting seven foot-switches and the same number of effects. The M5, the baby of the family, is the size of a fat stompbox (a similar size to a Big Muff) and still packs in the same catalogue of effects. However, you have just two pedals to use and can only apply one effect at a time.
Line 6 POD HD300
The marketing for Line 6's POD HD300 is nothing short of excessive. They claim that the new models are ten times more accurate than their original POD amp modeling, stuffed with "10 times as much amplifier DNA." If the term "amplifier DNA" didn't raise an eyebrow itself, the idea that the precision of the modeling has increased ten-fold is a somewhat dubious one that will leave most guitar effect aficionados stroking their chins in disbelief.
Line 6 POD HD400
If Goldilocks were to choose a Line 6 POD HD series pedal, she would undoubtedly moan about the abundance of pedal switches and the sheer mass of the 500 and whine about the relative daintiness of the 300. The 400 falls right in the middle, the Goldilocks-zone for multi-effects pedals. In terms of price, size and functionality, it aims to strike a balance to suit players who play live, but don't have the bankroll to splurge on the HD500.
Zoom G5
The Zoom G5 builds on the success of its predecessor, the G3, to offer an unparalleled array of effects, amp models and cool additional features like a built-in looper. It's also fairly cheap, so it's an endearing prospect for those new to the world of multi-effects and people looking to upgrade their old units. In essence, it provides 297 different pedalboards in one solid unit – enough for a different effects setup for every single song in your setlist with hundreds of slots to spare.

Opening Reception: Friday October 19th, 5-8pm
The inaugural exhibition of Old Master paintings at Peyton Wright Gallery features dramatic works created in Europe from the mid-1500s to approximately 1800; many dating from the sixteenth century. Emanating from the Baroque period, the works exhibit rich, deep color and intense light and shadows in contrast with the thematic precedent of the Rennaisance Period dating from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries. Prevailing themes of the pre-nineteenth century period include devotion, historical events, ancient mythology, landscapes, still lives and portraits. Infused with layers of meaning and purpose, the stories told in the works incoporate an intriguing mix of politics and intewoven propaganda using complex allegories and symbolism that continue to occupy our collective consciousness today.

There is disclosed a device for measuring total diffuse optical scattering from the surface of a sample, including a surface having extremely low scatter. A light beam from a laser is directed through an entrance hole in an ellipsoidal reflector and through the vicinity of a first focus of the reflector. The reflector has a first aperture adjacent the first focus for receiving a sample to be measured and a second aperture adjacent a second focus for receiving a photoresponsive means. A sample mounting means is used to position the sample at the first focus and to orient the sample so that the portion of the light beam which is specularly reflected from the sample is directed out of an exit hole located in the reflector diametrically opposite to the entrance hole. A major portion of the light diffusely scattered from the sample into a 2π solid angle (hemisphere) reaches the second aperture either directly or by a single reflection from the reflector. The photoresponsive means such as a photomultiplier is positioned at the second aperture for detecting the magnitude of light scattered.
In a specific embodiment, the ellipsoidal reflector is easily and cheaply made from two half-ellipsoidal mirrors which are joined together at their wide ends.

The present invention relates in general to optical measurement devices and in particular to optical devices for measuring the amount of light scattered from a surface.
For certain types of reflective optical systems it is important that the component reflecting surfaces have low total optical scatter. For the purposes of this application, the total optical scatter is defined as the ratio of the energy diffusely scattered by a reflecting surface into a 2π solid angle (a hemisphere) from a beam of light incident on the surface to the energy of the incident beam.
One type of system requiring such low scatter mirrors is the ring laser gyro. In a ring laser gyro two laser beams are generated in opposite directions of propagation about a closed loop path formed by three or more mirrors. The path encloses the axis of rotation about which an angular rotation rate is to be sensed. Rotation of the apparatus about this axis causes a frequency difference between the two beams which provides a readout of rotation rate. However, difficulty arises at low rotational rates because the scattering of the beams from the mirrors causes the two beams to tend to oscillate at only one frequency or to "lock-in." Lock-in makes it impossible to measure rotational rates because the frequency difference disappears even though the rotation rate of the gyro is not zero.
As is well known the lower the mirror scattering, the lower is the lock-in frequency and hence the lower the minimum measurable rotation rate. Ring laser gyros therefore require mirrors having extremely low scattering in order to adequately measure low rotation rates. As an example, a satisfactory mirror must typically scatter no more than a few parts in ten thousand of the incident laser beam. Fabrication of such mirrors requires the deposition on a mirror substrate of a reflective coating comprising a stack of dielectric layers specifically designed for low scatter. Such a reflective coating is described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,142,958 issued to D. Wei and A. Louderback on Mar. 6, 1979 and assigned to the assignee of the present invention.
Efficient fabrication of these mirrors requires a device called a scatterometer for measuring the amount of light each mirror scatters prior to its installation in a laser gyro. A problem which arises is that conventional scatterometers lack the capability to easily and accurately measure the low levels of light involved. In one such conventional instrument, an integrating sphere scatterometer, the light scattered from the mirror sample being measured is directed into the interior of a sphere having a coating which diffusely scatters light falling upon it. Thus scattered, the light uniformly illuminates the interior of the sphere. A photosenser views the interior surface through a small window in the wall of the sphere and thereby produces an output signal proportional to the total scattering of the mirror. One of the drawbacks of the integrating sphere scatterometer is the low measurement sensitivity resulting from the fact that only a small fraction of the total light scattered is intercepted by the photosensor. Hence, low level scattering is difficult to measure.
Another type of prior art scatterometer measures scattering over a range of small solid angles. By adding up the scattering from each increment of solid angle, a total scatter is obtained. However, equipment to accomplish this is expensive and the measurement process is laborious.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an inexpensive device for measuring the total amount of light scattered from a surface quickly, easily, and reliably.
A further object is to provide such a device which can measure very low levels of scattered light with a high degree of accuracy.
These and other objects and advantages are accomplished in a scatterometer in which a light beam from a light source such as a laser is directed through an entrance hole in an ellipsoidal reflector and through the vicinity of a first focus of the reflector. The reflector has a first aperture adjacent the first focus for receiving a sample to be measured and a second aperture adjacent a second focus for receiving a photoresponsive means. A sample mounting means is used to position the sample at the first focus and to orient the sample so that the portion of the light beam which is specularly reflected from the sample is directed out of an exit hole located in the reflector diametrically opposite to the entrance hole. A major portion of the light diffusely scattered by the sample into a 2π solid angle reaches the second aperture either directly or by a single reflection from the reflector. The photoresponsive means such as a photomultiplier is positioned at the second aperture for detecting the scattered light.
In a specific embodiment, the ellipsoidal reflector is easily and cheaply made from two half ellipsoidal mirrors which are readily procured commercially at low cost and then joined together at their wide ends.
These and other objects, advantages, and features will become more fully apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying FIGURE which is a diagrammatic view of the embodiment of the scatterometer of the present invention.
Referring with particularity to the drawing, the construction of the invention is illustrated. The main components of the scatterometer include a light source means such as a laser 10 for generating a light beam 11, an ellipsoidal reflector 12 having a lower or first focus f1 and an upper or second focus f2 for collecting light scattered by a sample 14 being measured, and a sample mounting means 16. The scatterometer further includes a photoresponsive means 22, preferably comprising a photomultiplier tube 24 having a photosensitive surface 26 which detects the scattered light leaving sample 14. Photomultiplier tube 24 is mounted in photomultiplier housing 25.
The ellipsoidal reflector 12 has the known property that all liight rays leaving either focus will, upon one reflection from the reflecting surface, pass through the other focus, as illustrated by scattered light rays 28a and 28b. The reflector 12 is constructed from two identical upper and lower half-ellipsoidal mirrors 30 and 32, respectively, which are joined together at their wide ends by upper and lower flanges 34 and 36. The reflectors 30 and 32 are made of metal with the interior, reflective surfaces coated with rhodium having an approximate average reflectance of 80% in the visible wavelength region. The reflectors are commercially available at low cost from Melles Griot, Inc., Irvine, Calif. as part number 02REM001.
Using conventional machining techniques, top and bottom apertures 38 and 40 are respectively cut out of reflectors 30 and 32 at their closed ends, that is the end adjacent to each focus. The plane of each of these apertures is substantially perpendicular to the common axis 44 joining foci f1 and f2 and intersects axis 44 at approximately either focus of reflector 12. Ellipsoidal reflector 12 also includes an entrance hole 46 and a diametrically opposed exit hole 48 for permitting light beam 11 from laser light source 10 to enter and exit the reflector 12. The holes are drilled at an angle to common axis 44 at which it is desired to illuminate sample 14. In the embodiment shown, beam 11 impinges sample 14 at an angle of incidence to the normal to sample 14 of θ=45 degrees. At this angle, the holes 46 and 48 are located in upper reflector 30 just inside its lip, as shown.
Of course mirror 12 could have been made from a single ellipsoidal mirror rather than the two half-ellipsoidal mirrors 30 and 32, but its cost would rise by many times and its fabrication become highly complex. Therefore the two-piece mirror construction described here is a key factor in keeping down the overall cost and enhancing the ease of construction of the invention.
Photomultiplier housing 25 is fastened to the top of reflector 12 by means of flange 50.
Mounting flanges 34, 36 and 50 are separately fabricated and then bonded to the outer surface of reflector 12 by conventional adhesive material.
The laser light source 10 operates at a predetermined wavelength at which it is desired to measure scattering from sample 14. In the present embodiment, the lasing medium is a mixture of helium and neon gas producing an output wavelength of 6328 A. The laser 10 is positioned to direct the output beam 11 through reflector entrance hole 46 so as to pass through the vicinity of focus f1.
The sample mounting means 16 includes a two-axis tilt table 18 and a three-axis translation table 20 which are used to position the sample 14. Suitable tilt and translation tables are available from Newport Research Corp., Fountain Valley, Calif., as Model 405 Dual Axis Translation Table, and Model 39 Tilt Platform, respectively. Prior to mounting sample 14 to sample mounting means 16, sample 14 is inserted into a holder 51 and then positioned on the top surface of tilt table 18 against positioning rail 52. Thus mounted to sample mounting means 16, sample 14 is moved vertically by translation table 20 to position its upper surface at the first focus f1, the point where laser beam 11 impinges.
After reflection from sample 14, the laser beam 11 is directed out through exit hole 48 by properly orienting sample 14 with tilt table 18.
The light scattered from the illuminated spot on sample 14 can be divided into two angular portions, a portion within angle α and the remaining portion outside of angle α, where angle α is the angle subtended at the illuminated sample spot by the top aperture 38. In practice, angle α is determined by the geometry of reflector 12 which in turn, governs the size of aperture 38. The diameter of photosensitive surface 26 is selected to be approximately equal to the diameter of aperture 38 so that at least most of the light scattered within angle α is received directly by photosensitive surface 26. The portion of light outside of angle α, as represented by rays 28a and 28b, after a single reflection from the reflecting surface of ellipsoidal mirror 12, is directed to upper focus f2 and thereby also collected by photosensitive surface 26.
One advantage of completely filling upper aperture 38 with photosensitive surface 26 is that all scattered light from sample 14, no matter how poorly focussed in the region of focus f2, will still be collected by the photosensitive surface. Therefore large imperfections in the surface figure of reflector 12 and inaccurate placement of the illuminated spot with respect to focus f1 will not significantly lower the measurement accuracy.
Prior to entering entrance hole 46, laser beam 11 passes through a series of baffles 58a and 58b. Each of the baffles 58a and 58b comprise a metal plate having an aperture slightly larger than the light beam 11. The baffles are positioned between the laser light source 10 and entrance hole 46 with the aperture centered about the beam. These baffles block nonparallel light such as is created by surface reflections from the laser output mirror as well as by laser discharge light. If not blocked, a portion of this nonparallel light could enter through entrance hole 46, and after one or more reflections from sample 14 and the reflector 12, be collected by photomultiplier 24 to thereby overwhelm the much weaker scattered light.
The sizes of entrance hole 46 and exit hole 48 are just slightly larger than the beam 11 so as not to intercept any of the specular component of the beam leaving sample 14, but are small enough to avoid losing as little as possible of the light scattered from sample 14. These requirements are easily met in the specific embodiment of the invention in which beam 11 is a laser beam 0.080 inch in diameter and entrance and exit holes 46 and 48 are each 0.125 inch in diameter. With the ellipsoidal mirror 12 having a minor axis of approximately 3 inches and a total surface area of approximately 40 square inches, a total of less than one percent of scattered light is lost through both entrance and exit holes 46 and 48.
If it is desired to illuminate a spot on sample 14 that has a smaller dimension than the beam diameter exiting source 11, lens 60 can be inserted in front of the laser to thereby focus the beam to form a reduced spot size on sample 14.
Photomultiplier 24 is energized by a power supply 54. As is well known, the photomultiplier produces a signal proportional to the light energy incident upon its photosensitive surface 24. The signal output is read by an output indicator such as a digital voltmeter 56.
Prior to measurement of scattering, the instrument must first be calibrated by measuring its output for a known amount of light scattering. This is accomplished by inserting in place of sample 14 a scattering sample having a known amount of scattering, such as a disk covered with barium sulfate (BaSO4) having a 99% diffuse scattering. In addition, an optical filter 62 having a known, low transmittance is inserted within beam 11 in between the output of laser source 10 and the entrance hole 46. The purpose of optical filter 62 is to avoid exposing the sensitive photomultiplier tube to a high level of light that would saturate or even damage it. Preferably, filter 62 comprises a transparent substrate coated with a metal film having a transmission of 0.1%. With the beam 11 incident on the calibration sample, the voltage of the photomultiplier tube 24 is adjusted by adjusting power supply 54 so that the voltmeter readout 56 reads the known transmittance of the optical filter 62 directly.
To perform a scattering measurement on the mirror sample 14, the sample 14 is inserted into its mirror holder 51 and positioned on the top surface of tilt table 18 against positioning rail 52. The sample is then raised by adjusting translation table 20 until the top surface of sample 14 is at the same height as the reflector aperture 40. The sample alignment is accomplished by adjusting translation table 20 in height and tilt table 18 in angle until the laser beam 11 reflected from sample 14 is seen to leave exit hole 48. The photomultiplier power supply 54 is then turned on and further adjustment of translation table 20 and tilt table 18 are carried out to minimize the voltmeter readout 56. When a minimum voltmeter reading is reached by sequential adjustments of height and tilt, the light beam 11 is then centered in exit hole 48. At this position, small changes in sample height or tilt will not change the voltmeter reading. The scattering value is then read directly on the voltmeter readout. Scattering from various spots on sample 14 can be measured by simply moving the position of the sample 14 by using the horizontal controls of the translation table.
During both measurement and calibration operations, room lights must be extinguished so as to not influence the photomultiplier readings. In order that the photomultiplier tube 24 not be damaged if the laser beam is inadvertently reflected directly onto it, the photomultiplier tube must be turned off during the initial sample alignment.
If the laser light source 10 is selected to have a linearly polarized output beam, then the scattering of light beam 11 having either s-polarization or p-polarization light can be measured. The polarization vector is perpendicular to the plane of incidence for s-polarization and parallel to the plane of incidence for s-polarization. The polarization is changed simply by rotating the laser head in its mount. In general, this may require realignment of the beam direction and the sample 14 so that the light beam 11 remains centered in entrance and exit holes 46 and 48.
As an illustrative example of the performance of the above described invention, the instrument was used to measure total scattering from mirror samples having total scatter of as low as 15 parts per million. Repeatability of scattering values was better then one part per million, with an absolute accuracy of better than plus or minus 20%.
While the scatterometer of the present invention has been described in detail above, and a presently preferred embodiment has also been described, it will be appreciated that there may be modifications to the embodiment and therefore the scope of the invention is not to be limited except by the following claims. For example, since the device is basically all reflecting, any optical wavelength in which the photoresponsive means 22 is sensitive may be used. Therefore scattering may be measured at differing wavelengths by simply substituting light sources of different output wavelengths. In addition the angle of incidence of beam 11 may be varied by locating the entrance and exit holes 46 and 48 at other positions in the reflector. Moreover, the scattering for normal incidence of illumination can be measured by simply orienting sample 14 perpendicularly to the incoming beam 11 so that the reflected beam goes back out through entrance hole 46.

Chinese conjuror Wei Ling Soo is the most celebrated magician of his age, but few know that he is the stage persona of Stanley Crawford , a grouchy and arrogant Englishman with a sky-high opinion of himself and an aversion to phony spiritualists' claims that they can perform real magic. Persuaded by his life-long friend, Howard Burkan, Stanley goes on a mission to the Côte d'Azur mansion of the Catledge family: mother Grace, son Brice, and daughter Caroline. He presents himself as a businessman named Stanley Taplinger in order to debunk the alluring young clairvoyant Sophie Baker who is staying there with her mother. Sophie arrived at the Catledge villa at the invitation of Grace, who is convinced that Sophie can help her contact her late husband, and once there, attracted the attention of Brice, who has fallen for her head over heels. From his very first meeting with Sophie, Stanley dismisses her as an insignificant pip-squeak who he can unmask in no time, scoffing at the family's gullibility. To his great surprise and discomfort, however, Sophie accomplishes numerous feats of mind-reading and other supernatural deeds that defy all rational explanation, leaving him dumbfounded. Before long, Stanley confesses to his beloved Aunt Vanessa that he has begun to wonder whether Sophie's powers could actually be real. If they were to be true, Stanley realizes that anything might be possible, even good, and his entire belief system would come crashing down. What follows is a series of events that are magical in every sense of the word and send the characters reeling. In the end, the biggest trick this film plays is the one that fools us all.

Wireless charging is perhaps one of the best examples of true convenience. The simple act of setting your phone down meant its battery would begin refilling. No need to hunt for the end of a cable, no more time spent clumsily aligning plugs, and no more hassle with loose cords. When the Nexus 4 was announced, its stylish charging orb was supposed to spearhead a movement of wireless bliss. While the orb certainly had its advantages, it was a bit late to launch and carried a premium price.
A small OTA update looks to be headed out to the Nexus 4 today, courtesy of an update document posted on T-Mobile's support page for the device. The build number is JWR66Y, which is obviously a very, very incremental bump from the previous build JWR66V. And the changelog matches up with such an assessment, as it includes but one item: "Security." That's nice and specific.
We have to assume this update will be headed to all Play Store Nexus 4 devices as well, not merely T-Mobile's, as the two are actually one and the same.
The trend towards integrated, non-removable batteries has caused much weeping and gnashing of teeth among the Android faithful, and nowhere is it more passionate than from the Nexus crowd. If you've been lamenting the Nexus 4's lack of a removable battery, ZeroLemon (purveyors of ridiculously huge extended batteries for major phones) has something they'd like you to see.
That's an external battery case, a form factor famous for turning svelte, short-lived iPhones into hulking bricks of longevity.
Android 4.3 was officially unveiled and released today to the Android Open Source Project. In a surprisingly timely fashion, Google also released both the factory images and OTAs to the Nexus 4, 7, 10, and the Galaxy Nexus.
Android 4.3 factory images and driver binaries for most recent Nexus devices have just been published on the Google Developers site, and chances are if you've got a new-ish Nexus, the image you're looking for is there. The Nexus 10, Nexus 4, Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi and mobile data), and Galaxy Nexus (takju / yakju variants) all have factory image downloads available right now, here.
Matching driver binaries can be found here, as well.
Google officially unveiled the newest version of Android this morning – Android 4.3 Jelly Bean – and of course the first question is when can I have it?! Good news for current Nexus owners: it's coming today. The current edition Nexuses – 10, 7, and 4 – along with the Galaxy Nexus (GSM is assumed here), will all begin getting the update as of today.
Of course, there's another big question here: when will the Google Play Edition HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S 4 get the update?
Several hours ago, an Android 4.3 system dump was leaked for the Nexus 4. As it turns out, even though the bootloader and the radios weren't included, the system dump is totally bootable. I'm running it right now. If you want to try it out, it's easy to do so, but be prepared to have your bootloader unlocked and flash some zips via a custom recovery. If you don't know what any of this means, I suggest you get familiarized with Android flashing first.
For the past few hours, I've been observing a curious case of Jeff Williams on Google+. Jeff posted a screenshot of what he claimed was a Nexus 4 he bought from a Googler... with a build of Android 4.3 on it. The same build, JWR66N, that we saw leaked earlier on a Galaxy S4 GPE by SamMobile.
In disbelief, some have called him a hoaxer, but a number of resourceful folks decided to get Jeff on IRC (channel #Android43 on freenode) and worked with him for hours, trying over and over to get the magical system dump that would prove Jeff's story to be real.
Looking to pick up a Nexus 4 in the UK? Well, you have one less option today. Carphone Warehouse, one of the largest online mobile retailers in the UK, has removed the Nexus 4 from the site. There isn't even an 'out of stock' notice – it's just gone.
The Nexus 4 is getting on on toward late middle age now, and the limited edition white N4 was just discontinued yesterday.
Update: Google has confirmed to us that "the Limited Edition White Nexus 8GB and 16GB are sold out on Google Play." A sold out limited edition would mean the limited run is over, so the White Nexus 4 is no more on the US Play Store.
Head over to the Play Store listing for a black Nexus 4 and you'll see that in the "Choose another Nexus 4" area below the main splash, its white brethren are nowhere to be found.
