Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Chapter OnePan-Stellar Combine
Canessa System Sitting huddled over his command console aboard PSCS Byrd, Ken Konoye figured himself for the most luckless man in the Pan-Stellar Combine. Every time he reran the sim the answer came out the same. By all rights the probe should have returned by now. The changes they'd made to the Serrie-built BIN-6100 probe's physical parameters couldn't be the problem. Nothing they'd done should have made a difference. Sure, the 6100 was designed for courier work rather than scientific exploration, but it was a damned military design. It was supposed to have redundancies. It was supposed to have a seventy-eight percent probability of returning from a war zone. So where was it? God, it couldn't have landed in a war zone, could it? That was a possibility that didn't bear thinking on. The Remor couldn't have penetrated that deep into Human space. If they had, surely, he would have beard. There had to be another answer. So why wasn't he finding it? According to the sims, there were no problems. The probe should be sitting a hundred kilometers off Byrd's starboard-ventral bow. Only it wasn't there. This was crazy! Worse, it was wrong! He knew his figures were good. The PSC Survey Office had approved them. He checked the computations himself a dozen times on the trip out here. Winnie had checked them, too. The numbers were on. They were! So where was his probe? After all, this hole was an all or nothing translator; the probe went, having achieved a safe translation, or it didn't go. It wasn't sitting out there, so it must have made translation. So why hadn't it come back? Where was it? He tried more sims, going so far as to inputvariations in the amount of local interstellar dust. He got the same answer, the same damned wrong answer. Vexed, he stared at his screens and willed them to show the probe's return, to be right, but nothing changed. Maybe the probe had picked up some hull ionization. He started another sim. "Captain?" Jane Van Der Noogt's voice tugged at Konoye. He wanted to get an answer, not give one. Hell, this sim was turning out like all the others. He might as well answer. He returned his attention to the bridge of the PSCS Byrd. The Byrd was a typical ship of the Combine Survey Office: a dispersed-structure vessel, all modules and pods and arrays. Officially she was commissioned as part of the Pan-Stellar Combine fleet, but she wasn't really a military ship. For that matter the PSC fleet wasn't a military fleet, but a hodgepodge affair of armed merchant and scientific vessels. Commerce was what interested the cartels who controlled the Combine's Governing Committee. The Survey Office existed to make sure that there would always be new ports for Combine traders. Though Jane Van Der Noogt held the shipboard rank of executive officer, she didn't look the part. She wore an unadorned military-style jumpsuit that made her more like an overaged student than the eminent researcher she was. She scorned the badges of rank-not her style, she said — although she said nothing of his wearing the marks of his captaincy. Of course his rank, and hers, were only temporary, just the Combine's way of doing business. Putting entrepreneurs and scientists in charge of ships was the sort of arrangement that other star nations often ridiculed, but it worked for the Combine. After all, interest held in theship's mission was more important than spacefaring experience, especially when you had computers that could fly the ship better than most humans. Jane was exec because she was a part of Konoye's research team, and she'd worked nearly as hard as he had on getting this survey up and running. Now Konoye saw a familiar look drawing out Jane's horsy face into a long frown. Clearly she had been trying to get his attention for some time while he was focused on the sims. "I said that we've got the second probe configured," she said, with just a hint of her usual exasperation. She must be as worried as he was about the first probe's fate. She started reeling off the list of modifications. He didn't listen. The backup BIN-6100 was supposed to have been unnecessary. He'd only taken it aboard to satisfy overly-cautious Combine regulations requiring redundancy on all remote systems. He had resented it when the Committee factor had reminded him of the regulation when examining Konoye's manifest. He had resented it even more when the factor had refused to authorize the use of any of the Committee's funding to acquire the damned thing. The second probe had cost Konoye all of his savings. When it went out, more than just the mission's success would be riding on it. " — disaster waiting to happen. Gerry's programmed it to do an immediate download into the main system memory, just in case, to safeguard the data." "But it's got hardened systems, military systems. It shouldn't — " "You weren't listening, were you? I was talking about the damned, jury-rigged stellar cartog system, not the whole damned probe. Jesus, Ken! Where the hell is your brain?" "Sorry. I'm just worried." "As if no oneelse is? You're not the only investor." "I know that." It was just- "You don't think it — the first probe, I mean — you don't think it was deliberately destroyed, do you?" "What? Why would anyone do such a thing? Everybody aboard knows what it means if we chart the route." "I didn't mean sabotage." He didn't really want to put voice to his fears, afraid that somehow that might make them happen, but he wanted someone to tell him that he was wrong. "I meant the Remor." Synopsis:They strike without warning out of the interstellar depths, their only communication a burst of static--and then death. They are called the Remor, and they kill for the pure joy of killing. The brave fighting men and women of the Interstellar Defense League eagerly take up the call to arms against the Remor and their grinders--monstrous war machines that leave a trail of death and desolation in their wake. But to win, the League warriors must get inside the machines'-and the mind of their foe. Who--or what--is this mysterious enemy? Where do they come from? And why are they determined to destroy humankind? Mere courage won't uncover the Remor's secrets. Something else is needed. Something that can only be found in the untamed spirit of a renegade who long ago "went native" with the most primitive species in the known universe...

Career highlights and awards
Zachary Thomas Duke (born April 19, 1983) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Arizona Diamondbacks, Washington Nationals, Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers. Duke bats and throws left-handed.
Playing career[edit]
Pittsburgh Pirates[edit]
Duke was born in Clifton, Texas.[1] He was drafted directly out of Midway High School in Waco, Texas, in the 20th round of the 2001 draft,[2] and began his career the following year with the Pirates' rookie level Gulf Coast League team. He spent 2003 with the low-A Hickory Crawdads.
In 2004, Duke led all minor league pitchers with a 1.46 earned run average (24 earned runs in 148.1 innings pitched). He posted a 15-6 record in 26 combined starts between Class-A Lynchburg and Double-A Altoona, and his 15 wins tied for third-most among all minor league pitchers.
Following the 2004 season, Duke was named Pittsburgh's Minor League Pitcher-of-the-Year and earned Carolina League Pitcher-of-the-Year honors.[3] He was selected by Baseball America as the sixth-best prospect in the Eastern League and the best pitching prospect (fourth-best prospect overall) in the Carolina League. He was also recognized by the publication as having the best breaking pitch in the league.
Duke made his major league debut on July 2, 2005 against the Milwaukee Brewers, striking out nine and receiving a no-decision in the Pirates 5-3 loss. His nine strikeouts were the most by a Pirate making their MLB debut since Tim Wakefield on July 31, 1992.
Duke's debut month included a 3-0 shutout victory against Greg Maddux and the Cubs on July 16 and 22 consecutive scoreless innings from July 2 to July 21. He was named National League Rookie of the month for July while compiling a 0.87 ERA, the best among all starting pitchers in the Major Leagues.[4]
He became only the second Pittsburgh rookie to win his first 5 decisions, along with Whitey Glazner. He also became one of only four pitchers during the Live-ball era to record an ERA below 1.00 in their first six starts (the others being Fernando Valenzuela, Boo Ferriss and Steve Rogers).[5]
Duke's first full season with the Pirates was as the new team ace, anchoring a very young rotation with Ian Snell. Duke had a number of good starts in the first half of the season, but many of them were undone by the Pirates' weak bullpen and lack of run support for Duke. The second half of 2006 was a re-emergence of the Duke that had dazzled Pittsburgh with his stuff from the previous year, and, on a side note, it was the first time the Pirates had compiled a winning record for a half of a season since 1992. Duke recorded 2 complete game efforts, the only 2 that Pittsburgh had all season. His first was a shutout of the Chicago Cubs on May 2, but he only had 2 strikeouts and a walk. His better effort was on August 11 against the St. Louis Cardinals. While he scattered 8 hits, Duke only allowed 1 run (it was earned), recorded no walks and 7 strikeouts. Duke also threw 11 fewer pitches than his previous complete game effort, and recorded 14 ground-ball outs. Duke's final line for the 2006 season was 10-15 with a 4.47 ERA and 117 strikeouts against 68 walks. Duke also became the first Pirates starter since Kris Benson in 2000 to throw more than 200 innings with 215 and 1/3 innings pitched.
In 2008 he gave up more doubles than any other pitcher in the majors, with 58, and more sacrifice hits, with 14.[2]
Zach Duke was named to the 2009 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, replacing the injured Matt Cain.[6] He finished off 2009 with an 11-16 record, a 4.06 era, 3 complete games, 1 shutout, 23 home runs given up, only 3 hit batsmen, 49 walks, 106 strikeouts, a .285 average against, 1.31 walks and hits per innings pitched, and 213 inning pitched.
Arizona Diamondbacks[edit]
On November 24, 2010, the Pittsburgh Pirates traded Duke to the Arizona Diamondbacks for a player to be named later, determined to be César Valdez.[7]
On May 28, 2011, Duke was activated off the disabled list and made his first start with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He also hit his first major league home run that day, a three-run home run off of Bud Norris.[8]
Houston Astros[edit]
Duke signed a minor league contract with the Houston Astros on January 27, 2012. He also received an invitation to spring training; however, he was released on March 27.[9]
Washington Nationals[edit]
Duke signed a minor league contract with the Washington Nationals on March 29, 2012 playing for the Washington Nationals's AAA affiliate, the Syracuse Chiefs.[10] He was brought up to the majors[11] and relieved Stephen Strasburg in the third inning in what was to be Strasburg's final home appearance of the 2012 season.
On December 2, 2012, Duke resigned with the Nationals on a 1-year deal to serve as the team's long reliever. [12] He was designated for assignment on June 4, 2013.
On June 10, 2013, Duke was released by Washington.[13]
Cincinnati Reds[edit]
Duke signed a minor league contract with the Cincinnati Reds on June 13, 2013.[14] [15] He eventually was promoted to the big league club and recorded an 0.84 ERA in ten and two-thirds innings pitched.
Milwaukee Brewers[edit]
Duke was invited to spring training with the Milwaukee Brewers for 2014 and made the roster as a left-handed relief specialist. He recorded his first win of 2014 on April 20 against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Duke has emerged as a key member of the Brewers' bullpen, finding success against lefties and righties. As of July 21, his ERA was a minuscule 1.16, and he had struck out 49 batters in 38 1/3 innings pitched.
Personal life[edit]
He married Kristin Gross in Evansville, Indiana in November 2007. They met when she was an emcee for the Indianapolis Indians. His best man was former Pirates closer Matt Capps.[16]

Any help bump. --- http://www.youtube.com/user/yugioh5/videos | |
The nice thing I found with my USB adapter is that I could aim the antenna anywhere and move it around with the USB extension. This would sometimes result in a better signal. There are some PCI-E cards that have antenna units that are adjustable. I would try a USB one first, just make sure it comes with a USB extension unless you have one laying around. What kind of router is it? What kind of signal strength are you getting? | |
I prefer PCIe ones to save on USB ports, but I don't think there's much difference between the 2. --- Fan of metal? Don't mind covers? Check out my youtube and give me some feedback http://www.youtube.com/sircaballero | |
I see. Everyone says PCiE is better somehow but I wish they would say why. I may try the Asus one evne though the Mobo built in wifi sucks. Besides if it works there is a mail in rebate so its like 50% off the other one. --- http://www.youtube.com/user/yugioh5/videos | |
Santaeid posted... I see. Everyone says PCiE is better somehow but I wish they would say why. Generally speaking, PCIe adapters are better because they have larger (and often more) antennas than USB adapters. You might be surprised at how much of a difference a good antenna can make. Case in point, I have a USB wifi adapter but the thing is just one huge directional antenna with a supplementary USB power cable... it can reliably pick up hotspots at least a half mile from my house (granted I live on a hillside but yeah). | |

What's your favorite craft project?
Nice invites!
Quoting flowerfunleah:Hi Everyone! My name is Leah and I was picked to host a Stampin' Up party in my hometown of Colorado Springs, CO.I couldn't be more excited! I'm a married stay-at-home momma to a beautiful one year old girl, Claire Elanor, and fantastic husband, James.
One of my treasured not-so-much secrets is that I'm a closet party planner, I love choosing locations, setting up, menu planning, and carrying out parties. It's not a hobby that I get to indulge in very often so I was pretty gosh darn excited when cafemom messaged to ask me to host a Stampin' Up party for them!
I'm the geek crafter. Most of what I like to craft has anything to do with Doctor Who, Harry Potter, or Sherlock (did I also mention that I was supposed to be british? lol they have all the best tv shows) but I'll break away from my geek when it comes to things like crafting for parties or baby showers. I l-o-v-e to make diaper cakes and relish the chance whenever a good friend (or friend of a friend needs one) is having a baby. If only I could make party planning a career then I'd be all set!
I was lucky enough to be paired up with Jen Jacobsen from Stampin' Up when it comes to planning this party. A bunch of my friends are crafters and so this was a party that was right up their alley, I started inviting them the moment I found out I was chosen for this Influencer! Jen and I have been in communications and have decided that September 15th was a great day for party!
Stampin' up sent me in the invites (SO cute!) to send to my friends, check 'em out!:
And cafemom generously provided a gift card for all the food and decorations! I'll keep you all in suspense as to what the party will look like, what we're doing (it's a surprise!), and the menu (*hint hint* drool worthy! lol) but it's guaranteed to be a fun and smashing bash full of creative genius!
I am a scrapbook hoarder too, but never have the time to use all the neat stuff I hoard ! Stamping sounds perfect ! :)
Quoting CStech:Hi all! My name is Christina and I was luckily picked to host a Stampin' Up party at the end of this month! My husband and I live in Illinois with our 2 beautiful children.
I'm SO excited for this party because I am a scrapbook hoarder. I could own a store with all of the scrapbook embellishments, paper and tools that I own. Luckily I have a little office in our basement that I call my own. I'm also excited about this party, because I'm REALLY starting to get creative with stamps and when my rep from Stampin' Up sent the magazine, I got giddy from all the cool things you can do!!!!
It will be a fabulous party with a ton of my friends, good food and amazing crafts. It's a surprise what we're doing but I'll make sure I post pics!

Rubin Redux: Rights Balancing in Cultural Heritage LitigationS.I. StrongUniversity of Missouri School of Law December 10, 2013 10 Transnational Dispute Management, Issue 5 (October 2013) University of Missouri School of Law Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2013-27 Abstract: One of the more interesting disputes to arise in the United States in recent years is the Rubin litigation, which involves several judgment creditors who, having won a default judgment against Iran for injuries relating to a terrorist attack in 1997, attempted to satisfy that judgment by attaching cultural antiquities in several US-based museums. These disputes have proven somewhat complicated as a result of the intricacies of the US Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) and the unusual nature of the judgment debtor's non-participation in the underlying default judgment and ensuing litigation. However, the Rubin cases also reflect a number of larger issues, including an inherent tension between individual rights and collective rights in cultural heritage litigation as well as various challenges associated with the mix of public and private law. The question of whether and to what extent a party may attach state-owned cultural property that is located outside the country of origin is a difficult one as a matter of both law and policy. This Article discusses a number of issues relating to this topic, considering basic principles of US law as well as more general concerns that may arise in other jurisdictions. In so doing, this Article provides an overview of the kind of jurisprudential and practical matters that can arise with increasing frequency in the coming years. Number of Pages in PDF File: 11 Keywords: cultural heritage, art law, cultural patrimony, cultural property, Iran, Rubin, attachment, Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, FSIA, museum, Terrorist Risk Insurance Act, TRIA, collective rights Date posted: December 11, 2013Suggested CitationContact Information

Detecting XRandR 1.2 support.
This post is related to this https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16639 XOrg but report. But is specific to an issue that was raised on the xorg email list that asks this question:
"Whats the easiest way to see if a particular server, the actual running one, supports XRandR 1.2 ?" On response was to use XRRQueryVersion() but others had already tested this and found that this call returned the installed version of XRandR not the supported version of XRandR. That is on a machine with XRandR 1.2 installed, which is very common now, but with the nvidia driver installed the XRRQueryVersion() call will return 1.2 even though this is not supported by that configuration. If the calling application then tries to do things that require XRandR 1.2 those calls will fail. This problem is an issue that at this point is confined to proprietary drivers since all of the commonly used open source drivers have (at least for the most part) working XRandR 1.2 support. So in my application how do I detect if XRandR 1.2 is supported so that I can fall back to older APIs and avoid making calls that will fail? A little snippet of code that does this would be great. |

WOW!!I just caught up some on GH!!When I work,I miss alot!!Faison sure has aged alot in a few months!I last saw him when they had GH's 50TH anniversary show,or before that actually!When he took Robin!His hair is white now!It shocked me to see the difference!But,we are all getting older now!!Anna wants to know what he did to Robin!I hope he gets her back soon!Luke sure looks older now too!He has been sick with cancer on the show!He must be about 65 really now!! |
elijahsgotit |
I could be wrong but I was pretty sure Faison's hair was the same grey/white shade the last time he was on as it is now. |
ransomha |
Looks like being evil is hard on a person. |

Anders Hove/Caesar Faison is 57 he will be 58 in a few months. |

I think he might look better than he did. |
taramartin |
He was never a pretty boy like Patrick but was always intriguing and sort of fascinating. He makes a great villain. |
hopey pix |
He sure is a great villain!But,I mat have been mistaking it,I just thought his hair looked less white when he was on around April,when they had anniversary shows!I missed some episodes when I was working,so I was sort of surprised at his white hair,that's all!!He is a darn good actor,one I like when he started about twenty years ago or more,and now!!It's good to have him back on GH!! |

I'm a native Oregonian, born in Tillamook and reared in the greater Portland area. After working in the Bay Area in the semi-conductor industry as a Human Resources Representative, my husband and I retired in 1999, returned to Southern Oregon and settled in the Williams area. Photography interests started early on with a Kodak Box camera and later a Kodak 616 given to me by my father, a semi-professional photographer. After many years of film cameras, the advent of digital photography has expanded my interest in the hobby. My two favorite cameras are the Nikon Coolpix P500 and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100. The Pacifica Gardens property has become the preferred subject of my photography because of its natural beauty. I have captured all four seasons over the past twelve years. I'm pleased to be able to share some of those photos with my WU friends. Please visit my web site via the link below.************************************************

I am a Senior in high school and am currently working on a research team. We are currently doing research on nanofibers, specifically the creation of nanofibers with piezoelectric properties. One of our current obstacles is that we are unable to find the equations used to calculate piezoelectric charge. Can someone provide us with some help? P.S. I may have more questions as our research progresses.
I am not sure what you mean? Ultimately, piezoelectric materials arise from the symmetry of a crystals point group, which is a property of its bonding. A piezoelectric material generates an electric field upon being stressed, or vice-a-versa. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectricity gives appropriate equations for stress and electric field generated. However, remember that the symmetry of the tensor is going to be dependent upon the symmetry of the crystal. -PR
I should probably mention that we have tried that wikipedia site but are having an extremely hard time deciphering the matrix. While I did not know about the importance of symmetry, I am actually running a couple of theories through my head for ways to solve that problem. But I digress. Is there any way someone could help by explaining what that matrix means in layman's terms?
Well it's not every high school that gets itself into piezoelectricity. And it's probably possible to complete a physics degree without ever going very deep into this subject. Just how far are you in math? Have you seen Linear algebra? Calculus? Tensors? Solid state physics? What kind of research are you doing? Experimental? Literary? Theoretical? Need more input to be helpful.
Ok. Here is a rough summary of our current state. If anyone has any more questions, please be specific. Most of us have experience in calculus, though I am still taking pre-calculus. Basically this is experimental research we are doing. Another thing I should probably mention is that we have an electrospinning lab set up so we can create nanofibers ourselves. There are a number of other teams working on different projects. We actually have a website set up if anyone is interested in finding out a bit more about our setup. The site is called http://thefutureisnear.org/index.html and gives a good perspective of what we do. While I am writing this, one of my team members just found out that one of the materials we were thinking of using will not work since it is insoluble in water. If anyone knows about a water soluble polymer we can use in our piezoelectricity experiments, I would be grateful.
Piezoelectric crystals are well described in PRodQuanta's link. As for your fibers, the math will not any simpler.
Ok. Quick update before I move on to the problem. First off, our teacher told us that the polymer actually will work since we have the equipment on hand. Didn't know that before. If anyone is currious as to what the polymer is, its Poly(vinylidene fluoride). The big problem right now is the matrix. The thing is, no matter what I try, I cannot figure out the matrix in PRodQuanta's link. I try to understand it but I can't. I haven't worked with matrixes for several years now and what I do know doesn't help me at all. I need someone to help me by explaining how exactly the matrix works.
Regarding my last post, I appologise if I sounded rude or ungrateful or something. Its been along day at school and I'm kinda stressed. If I offended anyone, I appologise.
Ok. Theres a new problem i need solved with this. After re-reading the matrix recomended by PRodQuanta, I just realized that that is for a piezo crystal. We aren't working with crystals, so the matrix is the wrong one for what we are working with.
Yeah, that's why I say the the math will not be simpler. Crystals are the simplest solids to treat rigorously. To make any calculations about any other type of matter, you either have to make approximations, averages, or go at it empirically. I suggest you do a literary search, as this is not mainstream.
I'm still not sure what exactly it is you are trying to do, but if you are trying to synthesize piezoelectric nanofibers, you must understand the mechanism for piezoelectricity. All piezoelectric materials' space group lacks a center of symmetry. So, if you try to synthesize a polycrystalline nanofibre that is piezoelectric, you must keep this in mind.
Maybe the math models haven't been developed yet for your mysterious fibers, you might have to look into it or develop it on your ownl! :tongue2: Seriously, I'm interested in piezoelectricity, but I haven't crossed much on fiber-based yet. To understand the basics, you'll need to learn classical EM, linear algebra, and solid state/condensed matter, all of which are included in the standard physics degree.
Now I'm sorry if i sound rude with all these contradictions and arguments, but the thing is, its been done before. We have found documents from NASA saying that they have used these fibers in piezoelectrical experiments, they just dont tell us anything about where they got their formulas or calculations. Even the process they used to spin the fibers is pretty vague.
I really haven't sensed any rudeness whatsoever , but it seems like you want to bypass standard piezo theory. Perhaps you can ask your teacher for help with this research.
Well...that wont do any good. This is the first year that he has a group working on the topic and probably knows even less than my partners.
Sorry for the topic change but the thing is we hit another road block. Can anyone explain how the poling process works?

Titans Annual #1
Today on the Source, DC's blog, it was announced that a Titans annual would becoming out in July. The writer, Eric Wallace, promises that it will be "epic", and saying that it won't just be a "slugfest" but it also has emotional stakes for both sides. Also Osiris and Isis return to Kahndaq, and Jericho is back! From the looks of it we will finally get that battle with the Justice League they've been promising, and they say Deathstroke will go through some major changes.
Are you all excited? They promised epic, but I am not letting myself get my hopes up just yet.
I think this is going to be horrible, but I'm glad that Jericho will be back.

Town of Ischua - 1846
Ischua of today and the original town of Ischua in Cattaraugus county never had a territorial connection. the old township of the name embraced lands whose south line forms the north bounds of the present organization, or , more definitely, all that part of the county lying north of the line running east and west between the third and fourth tiers of lots of the Holland Land Company's survey. The present town of Ischua was erected from Hinsdale on the 7th of February, 1846, and until March 27, 1855, was known as Rice . Since the latter date its territory has been designated, Ischua, an Indian name which had previously been applied to the principal stream of eastern Cattaraugus. The township lies upon the east side of the county in ranges three and four, and comprises the most of the town three in the ranges of the Holland survey. - Adam's Historical Gazetteer of Cattaraugus County Chapter XLIX

I designed this batch of cutting boards after a leaded glass window in the craftsman style. The boards are end grain hard maple, black walnut and bloodwood. Lot of rip cuts, glue ups, planing and sanding! Finished with a mineral oil and beeswax blend.
The last few pics are of The Silver Lake mill shop in Dayton Va., They sell work of local artisans and have agreed to sell my boards. I thought I would post a couple pictures of the cutting boards on display.

Seeking Husbands' Consent Ambe Julia, divisional delegate of Elections Cameroon, an independent supervisory group, said that when her organization encouraged women to register to vote, the women said they needed to seek consent from their husbands. Since most women are farmers, she added, it's hard to find them at home during door-to-door efforts. Julia said women made up the majority of party members in Cameroon but had little access to political debates. They mainly cook food and provide entertainment during party events. President Paul Biya has been in office for nearly three decades and altered Cameroon's Constitution to run again this year. One change in this election is that citizens living outside the country will be allowed to vote, The Associated Press reported July 11. Walla, named by the World Bank in 2008 as one of seven leading female entrepreneurs in Africa, declared her candidacy in October 2010, and the Cameroon People's Party endorsed her in April 2011. A social entrepreneur, she has worked with civil society during the past two decades to develop projects and policies to benefit Cameroonians, from farmers to motorbike drivers to people with disabilities. She said women were the first group to hold a public demonstration against colonizers in the fight for Cameroon's independence, but women faded into traditional roles within political party circles after the country gained independence from France in 1960 and Great Britain in 1961. Although a couple of other women have run for president -- one in 1992 and another in 2004 -- Walla said they didn't get as far as she has. "My candidacy is the first to draw national and international attention," she said. Walla's Priorities She said her priorities, if elected, would be advancing the rights of women, the disabled and the linguistic and ethnic minority. "These people have been left out of the decision-making processes in the country," she said. Walla, a board member of the World Entrepreneurship Forum, an international community of entrepreneurs, said she also planned on reviving Cameroon's economy. "Cameroon has tremendous natural and human resources," she said. "We have the potential to be a strong economic force on the African continent. We need to get our vibrant informal sector formal so that people can have decent work. Jobs are a major focus for my economic program. We need to take advantage of our geopolitical position to build [a] gateway into Central Africa." She said she also planned to rebuild social services. Martin Fon Yembe, a political analyst and staff writer for the Political Punch, a Cameroonian political newsletter, said Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf won the election "on the heels of very wild civil war," proving that a woman could prevail in the rough sport of politics. But he said intimidation and foul play might obstruct Walla's chances of winning. "Given a level playing field, Kah Walla will singlehandedly defeat the other candidates in the election," he said. "But, alas, there is blackmail, slander, corruption and all those vices, which are already playing against her and any other female candidates in Cameroon." Michelle Hain volunteers as the organizational development adviser for the Community Initiative for Sustainable Development, COMINSUD, an organization dedicated to sustainable development in the Northwest region of Cameroon. She said male domination of formal politics has meant that Cameroonian women have concentrated their efforts in civil society organizations, such as parent-teacher associations. Engaging Women Fon Nsoh, COMINSUD coordinator, said that the organization had been looking to engage women in politics through the Democracy and Empowerment of Women, DEW, project. "In the Northwest region of Cameroon, in over 100 opportunities for a woman to be an MP, we have had just one female parliamentarian in the past 15 years," he said. "Through the DEW project, we are identifying and promoting women and youth candidates to run in elections. Our interest is not in pushing the agenda of any political party. We are interested in seeing women in elected positions." Nsoh said that Cameroon's Constitution sets no quota for women in parliament, as other countries in the region have done. "Some women do not trust the political environment," he said. "That's why we have voter apathy. Stereotypes need to be uplifted. Also, we still have many records of outright intimidation against women daring [to get] into politics by men. Election campaigns could be expensive for most women, who most times don't have pockets as deep as those of men," he said. Nsoh said his group hoped to encourage about 1,000 female and young candidates to run in the municipal and legislative elections in 2012. Walla said she already considers her bid a success because it has helped change attitudes about women in politics in Cameroon. "I am honored to know that an 8-year-old pupil wrote my name as her model in a class exercise when their teacher asked them to cite the name of someone who inspires them," she said. "I also have women who walk up to me and thank me for taking a bold step and making a statement that women can aspire and dream big dreams."

Removal of ghost images by using tilted element optical systems with polynomial surfaces for aberration compensation
Optics Letters, Vol. 31, Issue 4, pp. 504-506 (2006)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (288 KB)
A novel solution to problematic ghost images is implemented by using tilted lens elements with polynomial surfaces. Tilting the lens surfaces sends reflections out of the imaging path. The nonrotationally symmetric polynomial surfaces correct aberrations caused by tilts. The complex lens surfaces are fabricated by using gray-scale lithographic patterning of hybrid solgel glass.
