Everything that they serve is served well. The place is cute, intimate, and casual and the servers are very personable. The French Toast is DELICIOUS and their crepes are very yummy also.

My family and I visited the Crepes for the first time, it was relaxing from the regular breakfast restaurant we usually go too. The workers are so friendly. As for the food it was very tasty, the fruits were fresh cut and served. Only issue was the onions from the kitchen was burning our eyes.

I got a salmon and ratotouille crepe and it was absolutely delicious I rate it 5 star.
Posted by anonymous on 09/06/2010
I ordered for delivery for the first time and when the food arrived (An hour and 20 minutes after i ordered) I was faced with a delivery man that didnt speak a word of english but had a horrified look on his face and as he got closer i saw that the beverages i ordered had leaked everywhere...maybe because they didnt put lids on the cups, they thought plastic wrap would suffice. Once i payed (hesitantly i might add) i saw the food containers werent closed properly and my crepe and its fillings had leaked everywhere. The croque madame looked like it could have been good if it wasnt completely cold. Never ever giving this place another unworthy cent of my money.

Worth the price, quality is excellent

Comments about Montreaux Moroccan Lambskin Leather Blazer:
This is the second jacket/coat from Overland. I found this blazer to be well made, warm without being overkill. The drape and feel of the leather is exceptional. I travel around the world on a weekly basis and this will become a go-to blazer. I can dress it up with addition of dress slacks and tie, and wear it out later in the evening with jeans and still look sharp!

Love it!
By THen
from Bennington, VT
I love the leather, the fit and the ability to convert from a blazer to jacket. Sad I waited so long to buy it.
warm and looks great
By JR
from New Mexico
my wife bought this for me as a Christmas gift. I saw it online and really liked the look. Not disappointed. Buttery soft leather, warm, and the coat is heavier than it looks in the photos. I really like the zip up liner, it is like wearing a wool sweater under the coat without having the bulk, and when it is zipped up the coat looks really cool. I wasn't sure if the price would be worth the product, but it is because this is a lifetime coat. This is my first Overland product, although I bought an O coat for my wife last year and she loves it. Keep up the good work!

Corker: Don't blame Clinton on Benghazi info
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is not to blame for alleged misinformation about Ambassador Chris Stevens death in Libya, Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) said Sunday.
"The deception around the Benghazi issue did not come from the State Department, and no doubt emanated from Susan Rice on this program and others, on that Sunday morning," Corker said on "Fox News Sunday."
Corker was referring to Rice's appearance on the Sunday shows, where she was accused of giving misinformation about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

Understanding the Multiple Ways Turbine Oils Fail
Instructor: Greg Livingstone, Fluitec International
Where: STLE University, live webinar event broadcast to your computer
When: Thursday, February 20, 2014 at 12-1:00 p.m., with optional Q&A from 1-1:30 p.m. Central Time
Cost: $39 for members, $59 for non-members
Most users believe that turbine oils fail due to oxidation. Although turbine oils are subjected to plenty of thermal stress over their life, there are multiple mechanisms that causes these fluids to fail. This presentation will provide an overview of the various ways that turbine oils degrade, along with real world case studies and examples. Understanding failure modes however is beyond an academic exercise. Many of these modes of failure have known solutions. The presentation will also review solutions to remedy failure modes, ultimately leading to longer lasting, higher performing turbine oil.

Fueling the Mountaineers
On Aug. 1 the NCAA is deregulating the rules that have previously been in place regarding student athlete meals. With the passing of this legislation, student-athletes around the country will be allowed to receive unlimited meals and snacks incidental to their athletic participation. Some may think that this came in response to Shabazz Napier, men's basketball player from the University of Connecticut, who said during an interview following UConn's national championship that he "goes to bed hungry", however this has been a topic of discussion for many years.
I expect many factors will influence the decisions being made from various institutions to address the nutritional needs of their student-athletes.
What do these changes mean for our student-athletes on campus?
Each school will have the freedom to do what works best on their campus. For some, that won't mean much change and for others it will give student-athletes the opportunity to match their high levels of caloric output with healthy, performance-benefiting foods! Without well-fueled athletes there are injuries and illnesses, which can be detrimental to the team and the success of WVU sports.
Let's look at it from this angle: you have a male student-athlete who is 6-feet tall and weighs 200 pounds with 10 percent body fat. This means at rest he will need to consume approximately 2,000 calories to prevent weight loss and run his basic functions. Now, add the amount of activity he exerts if he only goes to class, and that may increase his needs to 2,500 calories. Finally, we have to account for the amount of strength training and conditioning, as well as actual practice in a given day. Depending on the duration and intensity of each activity, his caloric needs could potentially increase by an additional 2,000, bringing his total needs for the day at 4,500 calories. However, that is the number he needs to consume (every day) to maintain his weight. What if he needs to add weight in the form of lean muscle mass? Then his needs once again increase by 500-1,000 calories daily, AND, as I stress to the athletes, consistently! He can't eat 5,000 calories once or twice a week when he has time to prepare the foods and expect to see results. It needs to be daily to support the amount of calories he utilizes.
It's not easy to consume 5,000 calories a day when you factor in classes, study hall, meetings, and one of the most important aspects in performance - sleep! That's a lot of food, and when combined with many additional obligations, it doesn't leave a lot of time.
So, starting this school year, athletic departments will be able to alleviate some of the pressures student-athletes face by supplying convenient meals and snacks beyond a dining meal plan or meal stipend and giving student-athletes more time to focus on school work and performance, as well as provide the essential nutrients and building blocks for the body to perform, and, hopefully, stay healthy and injury free.
I see this as a great opportunity for WVU athletics to enhance the nutrition provided to our student-athletes. For athletes to perform well, many things must exist.
Do they have the motivation to work hard?
Do they possess the genetic endowment for their sport?
Are they receiving the best training?
And, are they giving their body what it needs to be able to perform at the highest level?
One phrase that student athletes hear me say often is, "You can't out-train a bad diet". What I mean by that is if you eat poorly you will perform poorly. Exercise and physical activity creates stress to your body and foods we eat either help recover properly from that activity or further progress the stress (anti-inflammatory or pro-inflammatory responses respectively). By supplying the athletes with better food selections directly following a workout, or even after a long day of classes, they will be receiving what they need to enhance their training and thus be successful.
In addition to enhancing our meals, we will continue to educate (as we have done in the past) each student on the importance of nutrition, health, hydration, recovery, cooking, and food in general. If a student-athlete needs help selecting food at the grocery store then help will be provided to them so they can continue to provide healthy, balanced meals and snacks for themselves at home. Education of the types of foods, how much and when, and how to prepare the foods are still a major focus of mine. They are only "student-athletes" for a few years, besides the very few that move into the professional rankings, and they need to LEARN what's best for their bodies now and continue to apply that for the rest of their lives.
How are student-athletes educated on foods? Cooking classes, taste-testings, grocery store tours, weekly Sports Nutrition emails, social media, team meetings and individual counseling, to name a few.
Cooking classes are one of my favorite opportunities to educate athletes. These are typically done in small-team type settings. We pick a theme and the menu is created. For example, a popular theme is "junk food make-overs" where we incorporate notorious "unhealthy" foods, but make them better.
Meat-lovers pizza from a restaurant can provide you around 475 calories and 28 grams of fat (per slice). Not to mention it lacks the nutrients to help recover from exercise. We make it at home with whole wheat pizza crust, sauce, fresh mozzarella cheese, chicken spinach and other fresh vegetables so the calories are cut by more than half to about 200 calories a slice and very little fat. Plus, now we have a meal packed with vitamins, minerals and high-quality protein and carbs to supply the body what it needs to recover from exercise. That's just one way they will continue to learn the best way to fuel their bodies, as well as a life skill that supports a healthy lifestyle.
What changes will occur at WVU?
Once student-athletes start class this fall we will enhance what was previously provided and begin to provide football players with breakfast and dinner five days a week. In addition, Olympic sports will have the opportunity for lunch five days a week and dinner two nights a week. The meals will be offered at flexible hours to accommodate schedule demands in response to many athletes facing challenges to dine at the on campus dining halls.
The foods offered will continue to provide the athletes the nutrients necessary to be successful and meet their individual goals. In addition to meals, student-athletes will have the opportunity to utilize "fueling stations". These stations may have fruits and trail mix for them to take to class, or they may have a smoothie prepared for them following a hard lift. Again, this builds a nutritional base and provides nutrients that may otherwise be lacking from their diet.
As a resident of West Virginia, an alumnus of WVU or just a Mountaineer sports fan, we all take pride in WVU athletics, so when Hope Sloanhoffer wins the BIG 12 regional all-around gymnastics meet, or the rifle team wins another national championship, we need to understand that more goes into their success than just training.
If as a department we can provide them extra meals to enhance that process, I say "Bring it on!"
Let's Bring on the "FUELED" Mountaineers!

Shouldice tapped to head Vermont Teddy BearBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | January 03,2013It didnt take William Shouldice IV long to get back into the retail business this time as head of the Vermont Teddy Bear Company.
Shouldice was named president and CEO of the Shelburne company on Wednesday by The Mustang Group, a Boston private equity firm.
The announcement came two days after he officially stepped down as president and CEO of The Vermont Country Store. In June, Shouldice announced he would leave the Manchester mail order company at the end of 2012 after seven years on the job.
At Vermont Teddy Bear, he replaces former president John Gilbert, who left the company last summer.
Shouldice, 48, said Wednesday he wanted to remain in Vermont working for a company with a solid product and a solid reputation in the community and Vermont Teddy Bear fit that bill.
He said his focus will be on emphasizing the quality of the companys Vermont-made products.
We need to keep that in the forefront, Shouldice said in a telephone interview. I think thats extremely important to the business and to the brand but its more important I think that people understand the value Vermont brings to products and product development.
His priorities also include carrying on the Vermont tradition of exemplary customer service and placing an increased emphasis on community involvement.
Cairn Cross, a member of The Mustang Group board and a partner in Fresh Tracks Capital in Shelburne, said the company approached Shouldice after he announced he was leaving The Vermont Country Store.
One of the things we were looking for was someone with deep experience in Vermont and particularly experience in a direct-to-consumer company, Cross said. And so that narrows it down pretty quickly, as you can imagine.
He said one impression he was left with Wednesday when Shouldice was introduced to employees was that the person the company hired as president is a real people person.
Cross said one challenge for the company will be to stay on top of the changes in technology and consumer buying habits.
You need not just to have a Web presence you need to have a mobile web presence, he said. You need to be able acquire customers and market to them across a ton of different online and mobile platforms.
Because its business is seasonal, Vermont Teddy Bear has at times struggled in the past. But Shouldice said the privately held company remains profitable.
He said one component to its future success will be the companys ability to develop new products and keep operating costs in check.
Were going to be putting together a long-range strategic plan for the company and the future is bright, he said.
In an interview later Wednesday, Shouldice said he had accomplished everything he set out to do at The Vermont Country Store. In addition, he said the next generation of the Orton family was ready to take the reigns of the business.
Before being named by the Orton family to head The Vermont Country Store, Shouldice was president and CEO of the Orton Family Foundation.
Shouldice also has experience in the public sector, having served as secretary of the Agency of Commerce and Community Development and as former executive director of the Rutland Economic Development Corp.
Vermont Teddy Bear Company is the largest maker and seller of teddy bears by mail order and Internet.
Started in 1981, the company makes handcrafted teddy bears at its 100,000-square-foot Shelburne factory. The factory, which produces 300,000 bears a year, is also a popular tourist attraction.
The company employs 180 year round employees and has as many as 900 employees during peak holiday periods.
The company also owns Calyx Flowers, a high-end flower company, and PajamaGram, which sells pajamas as creative and playful gifts.

I'm not sure where my introduction should go, so I'll just post it here.
I found this site through a Google search on PreEclampsia.
Short Version:
In August 2003, I gave birth at 35 weeks to Eva, 4 pounds 7 ounces due to Pregnancy Induced Hypertension/Pre Eclampsia. I had a C Section, because during our induced labor, her heartrate kept dropping and I wasn't dialating.
She's a healthy baby girl and is gaining weight like a champion!
Long Version:
With my daughter, I was 21, she was my first pregnancy and everything *seemed* to be going okay. I say seemed, because I had a gradual rise in blood pressure through out my entire pregnancy, and my doctor wasn't too worried since it was gradual, and not sudden. I did have some issues with weight gain [16 pounds in 2 weeks at one point!] but since I had no other symptoms, again, she wasn't worried.
At my 34 week appointment, my blood pressure was through the roof! They had me lay on my side and took my blood pressure two more times, before my doctor came in and briefed me on my situation. I was spilling +3 protein in my urine. She sent me to labor and delivery for blood tests and monitoring and depending on the results I would either stay in the hospital, go home on bedrest OR get sent to a bigger hospital. [In my small town, you can NOT deliver before 35 weeks.] Of course, I was airlifted to a bigger hospital across the state.
There, they put me on magnesium to lower my blood pressure and kept me on bedrest w/ bathroom priveledges. I *knew* something wasn't right, but they kept assuring me my blood pressure was the only problem. After a few days, they wanted to send me home. Finally my mother arrived in town and the next morning [day 5] they decided they'd discharge me under the condition that I stay in town for 2 days, return for a check up and depending on that, I could go home. That morning, they took my blood. A doctor came in and told me they were discharging me. Someone came and took my blood AGAIN. Then I was woken up a while later with the news that I would be delivering that day.
In their rush to get my blood pressure down and send me home, they forgot to monitor anything else, and the blood tests showed my kidneys were failing.
I was induced, but the baby's heartrate dropped [to 33!] and I was wheeled in to the operating room.
My daughter Eva was born screaming her heart out, weighing only 4 pounds, 7 ounces.
She had some problems regulating her temperature, and sucking/swallowing, so she was in the NICU but she overcame those over our 3 day stay. On the 3rd day, they discharged us both.
She's been breastfeeding like a champ [and wearin' me out!] but she's healthy just a little petite. :)
Anyhoo, I came here because I wanted to find other women that went through similar things that I did. I do want to have more children someday, and want to learn ways to prevent or at least minimize my risk of getting it again.

A system for multiplexed transmission of different wavelengths of light comprises an array of at least two light sources whose images are formed on the end of an optical fibre. The images have displaced spectra so that a different part of the spectrum of each light source is imaged on to the end of the optical fibre and each part is transmitted by the optical fibre. The images themselves may be displaced by displacing the light sources. A number of such arrays having light sources with emission spectra centered on different wavelengths may be used to increase the number of multiplexed transmission channels.
1. An optical transmission system for the multiplexed transmission of light comprising: an array of light emitting diode elements, each diode element in said array having a broad emission spectra centred on the same wavelength and said diode elements being displaced from each other; a surface; an image forming means imaging and displacing spectra emitted from each diode element on said surface in an overlapping relationship, said displacement and overlap occurring with respect to the imaged spectrum of each diode element; and an optical fibre having an end located in said surface positioned in the region of overlap of the imaged spectrum of each said diode such that only a portion of each emitted spectrum is imaged and focussed on said end, and each portion being a different part of the spectrum emitted by each of said diode elements.
2. An optical transmission system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the launch power for each portion of said spectrum image received by said optical fibre is substantially equalized.
3. An optical transmission system as claimed in claim 2 wherein said launch power for each power of said spectrum image is substantially equalized by varying the sizes of said diode elements.
4. An optical transmission system as claimed in claim 2 wherein said launch power for each portion of said spectrum image is substantially equalized by adjusting the current drive to each said diode element.
5. An optical transmission system is claimed in claim 1 having a plurality of arrays of light emitting diode elements, the element in each said array having emission spectra centred on the same wavelength which differs from the wavelength on which the emission spectra of the elements of the other arrays are centred.
This is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 395,021 filed June 22, 1982.
This invention relates to optical transmission systems and more particularly to systems for multiplexed transmission of different wavelengths of light sometimes called Wavelength Division Multiplexing.
In this specification the term "light" also includes light invisible to the human eye, ie. infra red and ultraviolet radiation.
In an article entitle "Viabilities of Wavelength-Division-Multiplexing Transmission System Over an Optical Fiber Cable" published in IEEE Transactions on Communications, Vol. Com-26 No. 7 (July 1978) at pages 1082 to 1087, Tetsuya Miki and Hideki-Ishio put forward a Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system using light emitting diodes (LEDs) having respective wavelengths of 784 nanometers, 825 nanometers and 858 nanometers.
The three LEDs in Miki et al are independently modulated and, because bandwidth overlap between the LEDs causes some interchannel interference, interchannel interference cancellers are used to effect a reduction in noise so caused.
In another paper published in the magazine Applied Optics dated Apr 15, 1979 at pages 1253-1258 a similar system employing laser diodes was discussed by Koh-ichi Aoyama and Jun-ichiro Minowa. In this case five laser diodes having respective wavelengths of 810 nanometers, 830 nanometers, 850 nanometers, 870 nanometers and 890 nanometers were used.
As will be seen from these two systems laser diodes permit closer channel spacing than LEDs. This is because laser diodes have a spectrum half-width of less than one-tenth of the spectrum half-width of LEDs.
Considering LEDs more carefully now it will be noted that, say, an 850 nanometer LED produces its peak power at 850 nanometers nominally but this peak power point will vary with temperature and tolerancing by around plus or minus thirty nanometers. The bandwidth to the half-power point is about one hundred nanometers so with drift half power of a nominal 850 nanometer LED may extend anywhere in a range from around 730 nM up to 930 nM in a commercial device.
Since in WDM systems interfering signals need suppressing to about one-one thousandth power (that is thirty dB down) normal roll off separation for a successful system would require channel separations of about 350 nanometers, thus using two LEDs as an example of say 850 nM and 1200 nM centre wavelength.
Another problem with LEDs is maintaining the accuracy of their centre wavelengths. Thus even if the bandwidth and drift problems are overcome, manufacturing LEDs with specific bandwidths requires accurate control of the chemical mix from which they are made. Thus whilst it is possible to manufacture or select small quantities of LEDs to accurate centre wavelength requirements, reliable commercial production of LEDs with closely spaced centre wavelengths separated by say a few nanometers would require a different plant for each centre wavelength manufacturing more accurately than we currently know how.
Accordingly providing a WDM system with narrow channel separation for optical transmission is a major problem.
It is one object of the present invention to provide an optical transmission WDM system in which this problem has been overcome.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an optical transmission system which was a high radiance and efficiency, high degrees of optical isolation between wavelengths and which is rugged and compact.
According to the present invention an optical transmission system for multiplexed transmission of light comprises an array of light emitting diode elements, each diode element in said array having a broad emission spectra centred on the same wavelength and said diode elements being displaced from each other; a surface; an imagae forming means imaging and displacing spectra emitted from each diode element on said surface in an overlapping relationship, said displacement and overlap occuring with respect to the imaged spectrum of each diode element; and an optical fibre having an end located in said surface positioned in the region of overlap of the imaged spectrum of each said diode such that only a portion of each emitted spectrum is imaged and focussed on said end, and each portion being a different part of the spectrum emitted by each of said diode elements.
A plurality of arrays of light emitting diodes, the light emitting diodes in each array having their emission spectra centred on different wavelengths may be used to increase channel capacities.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIGS. 1a and 1b illustrate schematically the principal of an optical transmission system for multiplexed transmission of light in accordance with the invention,
FIG. 2 illustrates a practical arrangement of the transmission system and,
FIG. 3 is an alternative arrangement to that of FIG. 2.
FIG. 1a illustrates a multi-element array 10 of light emitting diodes (LED's), each element 12, 14 and 16 emitting a broad spectrum in wavelength and each element being centred on the same wavelength. The array 10 is positioned adjacent to a monochromator 18 having a wide entrance slit 20. Th monochromator 18 is illustrated in FIG. 2 and comprises a lens 22 and a dispersive element, in this case a blazed grating 24. The light from each element of the LED array is focussed by the lens 22 on to the grating 24 where it is defracted and reflected back through the lens 22 which focusses an image of the spectrum of each element adjacent to the LED array. Since the elements 12, 14 and 16 are located at different positions adjacent to each other, the three resulting spectrum images are slightly displaced from one another but overlap as illustrated in FIG. 1b. Mounted in the side of the monochromator 18 is an optical fibre 32 the end of which is located in the area which receives the three over-lapping spectrum images. Thus the optical fibre 32 receives three different channels 40a, 40b and 40c corresponding to a portion of each of the three spectrum images from elements 12, 14 and 16, respectively, as illustrated in FIG. 1b and the fibre then transmits these multiplexed channels. A similar monochromator (not shown) is also used at the other end of the fibre which demultiplexes the signals (the defraction at the grating is proportional to wavelength and three multiplexed channels are therefore separated) in conjunction with a detector array.
The LED 10 emits at high radiance and efficiency and the monochromataor gives a very high degree of isolation (both optical and electrical) between the parts of the spectra transmitted along the fibre 32.
The monochromator 18 images at the high numerical aperature of multimode fibres (˜0.2-0.3) with small aberrations and attenuation, has the correct dispersion characteristics and which is fabricated as a compact and rugged component.
The LED multi-element array 10 may be any of several material systems including lead-tin telluride, gallium phosphide, gallium arsenide, gallium arsenide phosphide, gallium-indium-arsenide-phosphide, gallium arsenide, and also double heterostructure gallium aluminium arsenide. The two latter material systems have many attractions for fibre optic applications.
One example of a gallium arsenide array is a zinc diffused surface emitting array comprising eight 25�100μm2 elements with 100μm spacing between elements. In this case the individual elements are separated completely by chemical etching to give a very high degree of electrical and optical isolation but positional accuracy is maintained because of a continuous gold integral heatsink pad. Each element emits at radiances around 20 watts/st/cm2 at current drives of 300 mA which corresponds to 1 mw output per element.
Another example is a 16 element edge emitting array which is fabricated in double heterostructure GaAlAs material. This is a lower current device with a power output of 30μw per element at a current of 30 mA. Each emission element is 20μm�1μm in size.
The emitting dimensions for each element, and the number of elements for each array can be altered to suit system requirements.
With the correct type of lens 32 in the monochromator 18 diffraction limited optics are straight forwardly achieved and a high quality grating 24 used at the blaze angle will reflect at 90% efficiency. Thus low overall insertion loss is achievable with such a monochromator. This optical arrangement is set up in a 1 cm long metal tube and so is rugged and compact as well as optically efficient.
An alternative monolithic structure 26 is illustrated in FIG. 3. In this case a concave reflector 28 is used in place of the lens 22 and a grating 29 is used as the dispersive element.
This optical structure consists of three optical parts:
A body part 27, a reflector part 31 having the curved reflector 28 and a small angle prism 30 with a grating 29. This has the advantage of solid geometry, and as all the light rays are optically immersed any aberrations are smaller than for an equivalent free space configuration. This structure can also be made in a thin plate wave-guide form which can be very small and manufactured in large quantities at relatively low cost.
In this case light diverging from each element 12 or 14 of the LED array 10 is collimated into a parallel beam by the reflector 28. It is diffracted at the grating 29 so that a slightly angled parallel beam is reflected towards the reflector 28 and is then re-imaged adjacent to the LED array 10. As before the fibre 32 receives light from the variously displaced elements of the LED array thus launching different sections of the spectrum along the fibre 32 from each element.
The multiplexing scheme of FIG. 1a creates multiple channels 40 shown in FIG. 1b by cutting the spectral emission of each element 12, 14 or 16 into sections but various sophistications can be introduced to optimise the launch power.
With a surface emitter array, enhancement of coupled power by a factor of 10-20 can be achieved by fitting each element with a spherical microlens. Alternatively a 3-5 times improvement can be achieved by the use of a cylindrical lens (eg. a glass fibre) which extends across all of the elements and this can be applied to both the edge and surface types of arrays.
The near gaussian spectral emission of LED's implies a corresponding variation in launch power for the different wavelength channels 40. This effect can be reduced by `Element width tailoring` in which the end of the elements 12, 14, 16 of the array 10 are made proportionately wider so that the widths of the different channels 40 is not constant. Alternatively the current drive to the elements can be adjusted to level the launch powers.
Seven elements giving seven channels 40 (a minimum requirement for one specific application) can easily be driven from one LED array and this number can be multiplied by using other similar arrays with emission spectra centred at other wavelengths. A spectrum centred at a different wavelength can provide seven further different channels and LED arrays with wavelengths centred at 0.8μm, 0.85μm, 0.9μm and 1.05μm each with a bandwidth of 0.1μm can be used. The channels can then be 0.80-0.85, 0.85-0.9, 0.9-0.95 and 0.95-1.0 and used with silicon arrays as detectors.
A further five LED arrays can also be used (GaInAsP/InP types ) if long wavelength detector arrays are utilised. Thus potentially a 7�9-63 channel wavelength multiplex system can be operated over a single fibre.

Changing the World with Water: Following Your Passions to Make a Difference
LUNCH 11:45 a.m. LECTURE 12:30 p.m.
LUNCH 11:45 a.m. LECTURE 12:30 p.m.
Peter Thum, founder of Ethos Water and vice president at Starbucks, witnessed firsthand the effects of the water crisis on the worlds poor while working in South Africa in 2001. He realized that people knew very little of this crisis, so he decided to create a brand of water that would promote awareness of the issue and fund programs for communities that lack clean water in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. His brand, Ethos Water, is sold at over 7,000 Starbucks locations. So far, Ethos has donated over $4.2 million to humanitarian water programs which help more than 370,000 people get safe water, and plans to invest at least $10 million through 2010.
Before founding Ethos, Thum worked as a consultant with McKinsey & Company in London and with Gallo Winery in sales management in Germany and brand marketing at its California headquarters and as an English teacher with Siemens in Germany. He received an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and graduated CMC in 1990 with a B.A. in Government.

Law school introduces "3+3" program with Oregon State University
Willamette University College of Law and Oregon State University will offer a joint program this fall allowing OSU students to earn combined bachelor's and law degrees.
The program, announced Wednesday in a speech by OSU President Ed Ray, lets qualified students earn both degrees in six years instead of the usual seven. Among the requirements are a college GPA of 3.4 and an LSAT score equal to or higher than the median LSAT for the prior year's entering class at the law school.
"OSU students will be able to earn an undergraduate degree and a juris doctorate in six years, rather than the usual seven, saving students time and money, while facilitating an express path to a law degree from one of Oregon's finest colleges," Ray said as part of his "State of the University" address at Portland's Benson Hotel. "That's great news for our students, as OSU is already a leading feeder institution for the law (school)."
OSU officials said they expect as many as 25 participants will eventually enroll in the program each year. The "3+3" students must complete the same application as all law school candidates.
"For the student who really knows what they want to do, it's a way of getting the degree they want at a reasonable cost," said Law School Dean Peter Letsou. "It's also a way of getting into the legal world one year earlier."

The Pushmataha County Historical Society research volunteers are becoming familiar with their new microfilm scanner and are answering most requests for information we may have on film. The backlog of requests was getting quite large while we were without a means of scanning the film and then printing the information. Most of this is done on Tuesdays from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. when our researchers are on duty. Our other days of operation are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m.
We have a new RSVP Volunteer who is very interested in helping with research. Mrs. Francine Locke Bray, related to the original Locke family of this area, moved back to our area this past Fall and is now helping the Historical Society.
We recently received some papers, pictures and other things from a long past family. Included in the gift were a set of W.W.I round aluminum Identification tags. Having never seen this type of ID tag before, I started researching and below is a brief summery of what I found.
The Civil war was the first recorded incident of American soldiers making an effort to insure their identities would be known if they should die on the battlefield. In 1863 General Meade's troops wrote their names and unit designation on paper tags that were pinned on their clothes. Some troops fashioned "ID" tags out of wood with a hole for a way to hang the tag around their necks. Even with these methods of identification, approximately 42% of Civil War soldiers are still unidentified.
With this start up of ID means, the commercial sector saw a demand for an ID and provided that product to be sold to the troops. Harper's Weekly Magazine advertised mail order "Soldier Pins" made of silver and gold. Machine stamped tags were also made of brass or lead with a hole and usually had an Eagle or a shield along with such phrases as "War for the Union" or "Liberty, Union and Equality" on one side. The other side had the soldier's name and unit, and sometimes a list of battles he had participated in.
In a December 1906 General Order the War Department calls for "an aluminum ID Tag, the size of a Silver Half-Dollar and of suitable thickness." Then in July 1916 the Army changed the regulations to require "All soldiers will be issued two ID Tags, one to remain on the body and the second to the person in charge of burial for record keeping." In 1918 the Army started the Serial Number System due to so many having the same or similar names. The person's name and serial number was imprinted on one side of the tag (Serial Number 1 was assigned to Arthur B. Crane of Chicago in his fifth enlistment period).
In 1969 the Army started to transition (Servicemen were issued both a serial number and a social security number) to the Social Security Number as the Official Identification. By WWII the round disk tag was replaced by the oblong shape familiar today and generally referred to as "Dog Tags."
One of the common myths of the oblong shape had to do with the notch in one end of the tags that were issued between 1941 and the 1970's. Battlefield rumor held that the notched end was placed between the front teeth of casualties to hold the jaw in place. No official record of American soldiers being issued these instructions exist. The only known purpose for the notch was to hold the blank dog tag in place on the stamping machine.
Later machines did not require a notch to hold the blank tag in place resulting in later tags being smooth on all sides. The official metal necklace was not introduced until 1943. Previously the ID tag was worn on a necklace of cotton, plastic, nylon, rayon, ect. Today's ID Tags, using today's technology, will hold about 80% of a person's medical and dental information. There is also a tag being tested by the Marine Corp using radio frequency, electronics and GPS systems to better pinpoint the wounded.

Parking violations include, but are not limited to, parking in a space designated as handicapped without a state handicapped permit; utilizing more than one parking space per vehicle; parking in an area designated as faculty/staff or visitors' parking without the proper permit; parking a vehicle in a space other than a designated parking area; parking an oversized or recreational vehicle, boat, or trailer on campus without permission; leaving a vehicle on campus overnight without prior permission. Vehicles are not permitted on playing fields other than exceptions noted in the contract. Cars are not permitted to be parked along the playing fields on Frank Road. Jackson Township Police Department will be notified if this occurs.
Handicap Parking
Clearly marked handicapped parking spaces have been established at various locations around the campus. A state-issued disability parking placard or plate is required and must be properly displayed in order to park in these areas.
Bicycles & Motorcycles
Bicycles must be stored in appropriate bike racks located on the concrete pad in the Frank Avenue student parking lot or the Faculty/Staff lot located behind the Fine Arts building. Bicycles parked in any other campus location is subject to receiving a VIOLATION sticker as well as Campus Security locking it; the owner must contact Campus Security to release it.
Motorcycles are encouraged to park on the designated concrete pad located in the Frank Avenue student parking lot (#101) and the Fine Arts student parking lot (#107). Motorcycles may park in any asphalt parking space PROVIDED that the driver uses a "kickstand disk" to ensure the kickstand does not gouge into and destroy the asphalt below it. Motorcycles found in asphalt parking lots without the use of a kickstand disk are subject to receiving a VIOLATION sticker. Parking permits are not required for motorcycles provided they are parked in the designated areas.

Jennifer Lawrence's Purple Airport Fedora: Hot or Not? (PHOTO)
Here's some friendly advice for Jennifer Lawrence: If you're going to attempt to go incognito in sunglasses and a hat, it's advisable to not wear an eye-catching purple fedora.
But J.Law did just that on February 7, when she flew out of LAX on her way to London for the 2013 BAFTAs — and the Best Actress nominee's pseudo-disguise wasn't enough to fool the roving paparazzi.
Wisdom of the look aside, let's get down to the style itself. While we love J.Law's pea coat-meets-leather jacket trench and distressed skinny jeans, we're not sold on the hat.
What do you think of her oversize fedora: chic and unique or just too dang purple-y? React below!

Enroll Now!
The course clarified what I needed to know about getting a book on the market in one way or another, and that was my chief objective. The instructor was everything she should be and more and I learned far more than I anticipated. I had no idea the area was so complex.
This was the best ed2go course I've ever taken. The instructor (Linda Aksomitis) was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and helpful. She put a tremendous amount of effort into answering questions in the Discussion area--we learned as much there as in the lessons, as she researched her answers very thoroughly. The lessons were very complete and detailed, giving us the basic skills we need to get an e-book published. The quizzes and multimedia elements in the lessons were also very helpful. This was a very practical course with up-to-date information. I feel confident that I can publish an e-book now. Thank you, Linda!
This is the exact class I was looking for. It contained all of the information I was looking for and more than I would have thought to ask about. This teacher laid out every step clearly and in ways that appealed to visual and audio learners. I appreciate this class because now I am properly equipped to publish my work online. Please commend the teacher for me.
I found this course to be extremely helpful, comprehensive, engaging and worthwhile. Linda Aksomitis is an excellent instructor and strikes a good balance between thoroughness in covering the material and keeping the tone of her lessons light and accessible. Even though much of the information is complex and technical, I found Linda's teaching style made it easier to comprehend and therefore utilize fully and with confidence. I particularly liked the detailed answers to questions in the discussion area, and the personal touch! I would highly recommend this course to anyone seeking to electronically publish a book.
Although I blindly stepped into writing my own book this course has further strengthened my interest in self publishing. It reviewed the knowledge I had gleaned from experience, answered many perplexing fears, and enhanced my ability to self publish 150%. Great information!
I thought I knew what I wanted to learn, but found there was so much more that I didn't know about! And, those things were critical to a successful ePub first-timer. I think I can now achieve my goal of publishing a young adult novel through Kindle Direct. I am looking forward to it! There are some things that are complicated, but I have printed out the lessons and will plow through it. The instructions are clear, and there are many links provided for technical help. So, thank you. This is a great course. When will it be offered again? I've been talking about it, and a few other people I know would like to take it. Linda is a very good on-line teacher.
Linda is the most helpful, knowledgeable instructor I've encountered in my Ed2Go classes. She takes extra time to truly connect with her students and answers every question with such in-depth information that her discussion areas are equally as valuable as the actual lessons. I'd highly recommend any class she teaches!
I'm a CPA and required to take 40 hours of continuing education each year. I wish my CPA classes were this good. The instructor was excellent! The material was just the right amount for each lesson. I've already recommended this class to my sister who has signed up for the next session. Thank you for "bringing it"!

Excellent course. I now have created my own on-line publishing house. Thank you for the inspiration.

Dual Coverage Compact Concealer
Unlike many other concealers that provide this level of coverage, Becca's version works without looking thick or obvious.
Beach Tint
Only two shades are available but this may be worth a try if you're looking for an alternative to powder blush.

Becca At-A-Glance
Strengths: The foundation and concealer shade range is spectacular; excellent eyeshadows; good lip gloss; several outstanding brushes; one of the shimmer powders are exemplary.
Weaknesses: Foundations with sunscreen that do not list active ingredients; the loose shimmer powders; poor cream eyeshadows; average mascara.
Australian import Becca is a complete line of color cosmetics from makeup artist Rebecca Morrice Williams. As the story goes, Rebecca, like so many women, was having difficulty finding the perfect foundation. It seems her professional experience making up women of varying skin tones and preferences shared one truth: all women wanted perfect skin. That's hardly a beauty revelation, but it's nevertheless what set Williams on her path to creating what would become the Becca line.
A founding principle of the company was that the foundation and concealer shade range would feature colors for all women, regardless of skin tone. For the most part, that has been admirably achieved with a beautifully neutral yet extensive selection of foundation and, yes, concealer, shades for all skin tones, from porcelain to ebony. Coinciding with Rebecca's mission to offer complexion-enhancing shades for all women was her goal of creating a "deliberately un-made-up look." Unfortunately, she wasn't as successful in that regard. That's not to imply these products aren't worth considering, because most of them are—and some are exceptional. What we mean is that the texture and finish of the foundations, concealers, loose powder, and other items won't convince anyone you're not wearing makeup—nor do they feel weightless, as described. Someone with oily to very oily skin wouldn't be pleased with the foundations from this line, and the concealer, for all its positive attributes, isn't meant for use over blemishes. It's also troublesome that a handful of the complexion products advertise an SPF number but lack active ingredients, making them unreliable for daytime protection.
Surveying the rest of this line revealed that Williams just didn't do her homework for foundation shades. The eyeshadows are amazingly silky, there's an effective long-wearing eyeliner option, an enticing pressed shimmer powder, and the range of lip gloss shades is formidable. Lastly, almost all of the makeup brushes from Becca are aces, and the options plentiful, especially for eye designs. It seems good things have been brewing Down Under, and unlike Australian competitor Sue Devitt, Rebecca Morrice Williams's Becca collection has a lot more to offer and does so at a lower price point.
Becca is available in the United States at specialty boutiques and from their Web site.

Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Pinch-runner Nyjer Morgan ignored a stop sign and scored the winning run on Ryan Braun's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th inning, as the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3-2, at Miller Park.
Matt Guerrier (0-1) walked Milwaukee catcher Jonathan Lucroy to begin the 10th. Lucroy was replaced by Morgan, who stole second with one out and advanced to third when catcher A.J. Ellis' throw bounced into center field.
After the next two batters walked to load the bases, Braun lofted a fly ball to shallow center field, where Matt Kemp reeled it in. Brewers third-base coach Ed Sedar held up the stop sign, but Morgan ran through it. Kemp's throw was slightly offline and Morgan was called safe by umpire Mike DiMuro.
"I was just looking for a fly ball and looking at Kemp throwing home," said Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke. "Nyjer had energy and he felt it. Sometimes a player sees things a little differently than the coach does, but it worked out good."
However, replays showed Ellis applied the tag before Morgan slid across the plate.
"I'm almost positive I applied the tag, but I haven't seen the replay," Ellis said. "Two tough losses, but I think they'll make us better in the long run."
The Brewers won the opener of this three-game set in their final at-bat as well.
Zack Greinke gave up two runs on four hits, walked two and struck out seven in seven innings for the Brewers. Kameron Loe (1-0) faced the minimum in the 10th to pick up the win.
Former Brewer Chris Capuano also earned a no-decision after allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over six frames.
The Dodgers grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first inning on Kemp's RBI single, but Mat Gamel tied it with a run-scoring single in the second.
Ellis grounded into a fielder's choice to score Jerry Hairston, Jr. in the fifth.
Milwaukee answered again in the sixth with Aramis Ramirez's leadoff home run. It was his first home run as a Brewer.
Greinke started his 200th career game...Ramirez hit his 313th career homer as a third baseman to move into sole possession of eighth place on MLB's list from that position...Capuano pitched in five seasons (2004-07, 2010) with the Brewers, going 44-48 with a 4.34 ERA. He did not pitch in the majors between 2008-09 while recovering from Tommy John surgery.

The Natori Lingerie line of Natori bras and Natori panties has an interesting history. Over twenty years ago Josie Natori brought her Philippine heritage to the United States with a collection of beautiful and unusual sleepwear. Natori incorporated the elegance of Philippine embroidery with quality fabric. Natori was a tremendous success. So much so, that within a few years Josie Natori expanded into intimate apparel and designed a line of elegantly tailored bras and panties.
The Natori lingerie line is extensive and includes bras, panties, shapewear, camisoles, tops and more. Natori bras are famous for being the first molded seamless under wire bras on the market. The tailored classics include a push-up demi bra, padded, bra, seamless lightly lined underwire bra, front closure bra, racer back bra, and matching thongs and panties. For a brand that is known for pretty and feminine bras, some of their most popular bras are the Natori sports bras. Customers especially like that they provide good support and unusually nice shaping--no 'uni-boob' look-- for a sports bra. The molded bras provide a gentle natural shaping, with just the right amount of padding. Seamless smooth fabrics are invisible, even under clingy tops. The Natori Reflex bra is made with memory foam, making it particularly useful for travel. It goes right back into shape when it comes out of the suitcase.
Natori panties are pretty and feminine and come in lots of styles, including briefs, hipsters, thongs and bikinis. With lively fashion colors and so many styles, Natori panties are customer favorites with women who love the combination of sexiness, comfort and fit. Panties stay in place with no ride-up and no visible panty line. Whether your style is pretty stretch lace, hip see-through mesh or a basic polymodal fabric that is soft as silk, Natori has a style for you.
The Natori line also includes sleepwear and robes in exotic patterns and a flowing, flattering fit. You'll find charmeuse gowns in colorful florals paired with matching caftans or belted robes.
The Natori Lingerie Line is made up of the following collections: Nouveau, Renaissance, Rapture, Millenium, Body Double, La Vie En Rose, Reverie, Beautiful fit, Natori no-show, Natori Tailored Classics, Colette, Vapeur, Simply Shapely, Elegant Ensemble, Outlines, and Natori Sport.
Natori now has a plus size line called Angelie. Angelie is a coordinated bra collection dedicated to women who are full-figured. Angelie features fashion, emphasizing femininity and color, while being highly sensitive to the full figure needs for comfort and support. Styles are designed and fitted with both the female body and the female psyche in mind. The Angelie collection, while small, addresses a woman's practical considerations and wardrobe needs with seamless styles, minimizing contours and soft cups, as well as addressing her feminine needs with beautiful laces and embroideries and sexy balconette styles. Designed by real woman, constructed on real woman, and made for real woman, Angelie Plus bras are created to address the distinct needs of the full figure customer.
Natori has developed into a lifestyle brand, expanding from lingerie and loungewear to swimwear and home accessories such as tableware, picture frames and trays. With such an artful sensibility and meticulous craftsmanship, there's no telling how far the Natori brand will go.

- Termination proofs for a lazy functional language by abstract reduction : (draft) (1996)
- Automatic termination proofs of functional programming languages are an often challenged problem Most work in this area is done on strict languages Orderings for arguments of recursive calls are generated In lazily evaluated languages arguments for functions are not necessarily evaluated to a normal form It is not a trivial task to de ne orderings on expressions that are not in normal form or that do not even have a normal form We propose a method based on an abstract reduction process that reduces up to the point when su cient ordering relations can be found The proposed method is able to nd termination proofs for lazily evaluated programs that involve non terminating subexpressions Analysis is performed on a higher order polymorphic typed language and termi nation of higher order functions can be proved too The calculus can be used to derive information on a wide range on di erent notions of termination.

- Efficient strictness analysis of Haskell in Haskell using abstract reduction (1997)
- The extraction of strictness information marks an indispensable element of an efficient compilation of lazy functional languages like Haskell. Based on the method of abstract reduction we have developed an e cient strictness analyser for a core language of Haskell. It is completely written in Haskell and compares favourably with known implementations. The implementation is based on the G#-machine, which is an extension of the G-machine that has been adapted to the needs of abstract reduction.

- Tinte: developing a prototype for typesetting music in Clean : a case study (1997)
- This paper describes the development of a typesetting program for music in the lazy functional programming language Clean. The system transforms a description of the music to be typeset in a dvi-file just like TEX does with mathematical formulae. The implementation makes heavy use of higher order functions. It has been implemented in just a few weeks and is able to typeset quite impressive examples. The system is easy to maintain and can be extended to typeset arbitrary complicated musical constructs. The paper can be considered as a status report of the implementation as well as a reference manual for the resulting system.

Using HD makes sense if Apple plans to sell a low def concurrently. The price of the HD will force too many customers into the arms of Android tablets. Apple needs a law price low iPad so schools and students can make it ubiquitous in the education market.
Next iPad rumored to be called iPad HD
The next generation iPad may not be called iPad 3 but iPad HD instead. Gizmodo ran the rumor a few days ago, basing their report on product names from accessory makers. Now both VentureBeat and CNET claim their sources have told them iPad HD will be the official name.
We're already expecting a higher resolution screen and the HD suffix would no doubt be more marketable to the general public than either the number 3 or the term Retina. The question remains as to whether Apple will once again switch up their naming scheme to center around a single feature, as they did with the iPhone 3S.
Considering Apple is rumored to be doubling the resolution of the current iPad 2, to 2042x1536 it may make sense for them to market the heck out of an arguably retina display capable iPad. The general public understands what HD is and what it means, and it would highlight that the iPad will likely be the first tablet available to natively support 1080p at its full resolution. (Other 1080p+ tablets have been announced, but haven't yet shipped and likely won't ship before the next iPad hits store shelves.)
iMore hasn't heard anything about the name of the next iPad, be it iPad 3 or iPad HD. If Apple does go with iPad HD, however, what would the 4th generation iPad be called? iPad HD 2? iPad HDS? iPad 3?
The iPhone, as mentioned, went from iPhone to iPhone 3G to iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4 to the current iPhone 4S, and is following a pattern of "tick tock" releases -- major design changes followed by mostly internal updates. iPad went from iPad to iPad 2, so it's a bit early to look for patterns.
We'll find out Wednesday.

Next iPad rumored to be called iPad HD
Honestly, what difference does it make what they call. It looks like the feature set & capability of this next iPad will be awesome. I cannot wait.
The term pixel doubling means 1:4. Sounds strange, I know, but it's shorthand for doubling in both directions (horizontal and vertical)
Well, the next iPhone (by generation) will be the 6th version buy by all means though, Apple could call it iPhone 5 because 5 comes after 4 :)
Although, with the two last "improvement" models (3GS, 4S) it has caused the generation number to not line up with the model number. With iPhone 4, they got lucky.
Rent the movie Dodgeball
Sounds androidish
Nobody has mentioned the thousands of developers who have apps in the iTunes store with "HD" in the Title.
This differentiates them from the versions of the app which only run on the iPhone. Talk about confusion!
Someone essentially assist to make severely articles I'd state. That is the first time I frequented your website page and up to now? I surprised with the analysis you made to create this actual publish incredible. Wonderful job!
