Unverified Voracity, Forcibly Skeptical
Item of the week. A new weekly thing: in conjunction with the Pat Maloy Scholarship fund we'll be plugging Michigan memorabilia on a weekly basis. All proceeds go to scholarship endowments at Michigan. Item!
The above features signatures from blog favorites Brandon Graham, Zoltan Mesko(!), and Ron Bellamy:
This item is a perfect addition to a Michigan collection in that it spans several decades of Michigan football greatness. A white Michigan football adorned with a large blue block M and two winged helmets on either side. The football is autographed by 18 former Michigan stars including Jim Brandstatter, Brandon Graham, Billy Taylor, Jarrett Irons, Buster Stanley, Vada Murray, Harlan Huckleby, Jarrod Bunch, Ron Johnson, Andre Weathers, Greg Mathews, Ron Bellamy, David Moosman, Stevie Brown, Zoltan Mesko, Derek Walker, Greg McMurtry.
Hatch update. From his Caring Bridge page:
Monday, September 5, 2011 5:25 PM, EDT
Another great week by a determined and hard working student athlete. Austin has a beautiful attitude and is enjoying day visits with close friends and family. We are following the medical staff advice to control the visitor schedule to no more than three at a time to allow him to focus on his recovery. While the length of the rehab program is still unclear, he looks forward to returning to home and normal activities.
Mitch McGary enjoys torrential downpours. Mitch McGary visited for the Western Michigan game and reportedly had quite a time. Here's MGoUser Max hanging with McGary in the rain:
(BONUS: Just A Simple Minded Football Coach caught a shot in the Detroit News where McGary is going nuts as Herron roars down the field. Also he recapped the Western game.)
Post something like this and you'll be hounded until you give people the full story, so Max did:
I asked him about his official visits; he told me he is allowed to take 10 (instead of the usual 5) since he took a year off after high school. "You're gonna hate me for this, but I'm going to Duke next weekend." I asked, "Are you visiting anywhere more than once?" He replied, "No, but I'll be back at Michigan for camp in [whatever month it was]."
He was going batshit crazy on all the big Michigan plays, waiving his towel and giving out high-fives. He, like the rest of the student section, clealy enjoyed the rain, too. He sang and fist-pumped along with The Victors. He even tried to start a cheer, but his "LET'S GO BLU-UE" wasn't very catchy.
Finally, right before he and the others left, I asked him to take a picture with me. He seemed really excited, throwing his arm around me and joking around. I got a little too excited and started slapping him on the shoulder. He cringed a little, and I remembered that his shoulder had gotten cut up pretty badly when he broke that backboard. I apologized, but he just thought it was funny. After the picture, we all started jumping around a little bit, yelling "Go Blue!" and whatever else. He said several things to the effect of "I'll see you guys next year!" and then left.
So that's spectacular except for the part where Michigan fans whap him in his fresh wounds. UMHoops points out that McGary's AAU coach, Wayne Brumm, has been talking up Michigan to any outlet that will listen—I'm guessing that's he's the source for the national recruiting guys who keep saying "McGary isn't close to a decision but I'd keep an eye out for Michigan." Sam Webb hit Brumm up for a take on his visit and the resulting Webblog says Michigan is "STRONG" with McGary in the headline. This seems like time to get those hopes off the floor.
If you're like me you'll need to see McGary in a Crisler shootaround before you'll believe Michigan can snag a top five recruit in this modern sleaze-paced basketball recruiting society, but it seems like they've got a shot. McGary's off to a who's who of basketball powers over the next few weeks, whereupon his love for the block M and sea turtles falling from the sky will be tested. The good news: The rumor is Michigan's main competitors are Maryland and Florida and McGary mentioned to people around him that he planned on returning to Ann Arbor for "camp"—November camp? Next year's Elite camp?
Snagging McGary would take Beilein's recruiting trajectory from "we'll be pretty good in 2013" to "Big Ten contender NOW." Fingers crossed.
BAD HEADLINE MONKEY. You're new here at the Detroit Free Press (motto: Metro Detroit's second best paper named "The Detroit Free Press"), kid. So we'll cut you some slack. But this is not cool:
Kid, "rigorous" means you are more than doubling NCAA practice time maximums. When you're a headline monkey at Metro Detroit's second best paper named The Detroit Free Press, you have to know these things. I'm glad we had this talk. Now if you could lay out the arts section, clean the bathroom, copy edit* A1, and check the roof for suicidal reporters you can go home.
I've always wanted an opportunity to get sued by Righthaven. Thanks to the rain, I've got one. It turns out that Vegas refunding the world's tickets on the Michigan-WMU game is quite a letoff for sportsbooks:
"It was kind of wacky. There have been some crazy weather games, but I've never seen that," MGM Resorts sports book director Jay Rood said. "I would rather have seen the game get in and played than end the way it did, when maybe some people feel like they were cheated.
"We were going to lose on the game. That was by far the biggest public-backed game on the board. The ticket count was ridiculous, like 20-1 for Michigan."
Wow. Either the sharps or the books were heavily on Western.
WAYS YOU CAN TELL THE NEWSPAPER YOU ARE READING IS BASED IN LAS VEGAS PROTIP: The reporter says "I was on the Wolverines, for the record" and wishes a natural disaster had befallen the Georgia Dome so he wouldn't have gotten taken on the Boise State-Georgia game.
Time to update the Michigan reporter whirlwind. MVictors's handy movement graph is now out of date since Zach Travis has been picked up by Bleacher Report of all things and is getting paid to write on the Big Ten. Spreading that venture capital love around, they are. If you'd ceased paying attention to Zach's old blog Dreaded Judgment, he's firing it back up.
Are we still talking about this? Well done, Jon Wilner. You managed to get me all the way through your article on yet more realignment without making it clear that your source is a guy in a Pac-12 athletic department who likes messing with journalists:
The Big Ten won't expand until it's time to renegotiate the league's deals with CBS and ESPN, which expire in 2016, according to a source.
At that point, if the Pac-12 and the SEC have grown to 16 teams, then Notre Dame will join the Big Ten.
Guh. I have been expansion-trolled. If you still want to take this seriously, Wilner says the Pac 12 presidents are opposed to expanding but will do it if the SEC jumps off the bridge first, at which point they'll have no choice. I hope the Big Ten is wise enough not to follow them.
Etc.: If you like the arrangement of the Victors for the Michigan Difference commercials, you can download it for your phone or (emo) tailgate or whatever. Holdin' the Rope starts a Michigan Monday analogue focused on the Golden Bobcats. Bruce Feldman is outside the paywall. Tommy Rees will start for ND this weekend.
Unverified Voracity Shames Itself
And fin. Wolverine Historian's expanded versions of 1997 games have hit that year's Rose Bowl; this one is a three-parter and it's gooooood:
Part Two and Part Three are lightboxed for your viewing pleasure. Part Three gets a little misty.
Odds. I've seen the line for Michigan's game against Western at anywhere between 8 and 13 points, but it appears it's settled at Michigan –12. This is good. Phil Steele's published a useful list of spreads and their correspondence to victory and a spread as big as that one is tough to overcome:
|Favorite of
|# of GMS
|Lost Outright
|31+ pts
|3 or less
It would be nice to start the year off with one of those win things for a change.
Don't Messner with Texas. MVictors has posted an interview with Wolverine great Mark Messner; I celebrate by craft the worst bolded introductory phrase in the history of Unverified Voracity. The section Greg excerpts is mostly on Michigan State, Tony Mandarich, and steroids. It comes with some outstanding stories:
He did get me once and that's when I realized that there was something strange going on with this man, because no man should ever do that. It was my junior year. We were watching film getting ready for Michigan State and I was like, "Look at this thing! He's destroying people." In that game I got out of position and he got underneath me. He picked me up off my feet and ran with me for fifteen yards with my feet just dangling. He threw me like a rag doll into the Michigan State bench.
More at the link.
Was anybody healthy? Anybody? This offseason's seen a bevy of injury revelations from Mike Shaw's sports hernia to Donovan Warren's bone chips to Jonas Mouton's shoulder. We already knew Brandon Minor had some wrist issues, but I don't think we knew they were this severe:
Minor underwent two surgeries in the offseason and gutted through 11 games last fall a virtual one-armed man. The pain was so intense he couldn't carry the ball in his right arm and couldn't lift weights.
"I could barely get 145 (pounds) up," Minor said.
This might explain Minor's sparing use early in the year, and his tendency to put the ball on the turf. Place your bets for the next starter to reveal a crippling 2008 injury. I've got Obi Ezeh with the peg leg in the kitchen.
Hey, what's that: bird, plane, basketball program? Michigan's going to have a Midnight Madness event for the first time… ever? Probably ever. John Beilein probably isn't going rappel from the rafters riding a horse and a motorcycle, but it should be cool anyway. Details:
To kick off the 2009-10 season, both the men's and women's basketball teams will be participating in Michigan Madness on Friday, Oct. 16, the first day of practice allowed by the NCAA. Crisler Arena doors will open at 8 p.m. and admission is free.
The official basketball program will begin at 9 p.m. with player introductions. A skills competition and scrimmages will follow, allowing students and fans to get a first glimpse of the season's upcoming teams.
That's right: Michigan's midnight madness is at 9PM. Which okay. I don't know if we're at the point where we can expect anyone to show up well past their bedtime.
If you spin any faster you might drill straight into the magma. It's getting tough out there for BCS schools looking for suitable tomato cans to whack, as Michigan's home-and-home with UConn demonstrates. Heck, UConn has Tennessee lined up for a home and home, too. Further evidence:
Billed as the Celebrate the State Football Series, Michigan State will play 12 games against the directional Michigan schools during the next 10 years.
The agreement includes road contests against each MAC team, beginning in 2012 with a trip to Central Michigan. The Spartans have never visited Central Michigan or Western Michigan and last played a MAC team on the road in 1899.
Ouch. I guess if you have to line up road games (three of them!) against MAC schools it's nice to be able to turn it into yet more meaningless PR about owning the state. I mean… even if you successfully own the state, then what? Then you have a team that goes 7-5 on average instead of Michigan State's historical long-term 6-6. Woo! Michigan isn't Florida.
Etc.: Those who hate key jinglers are going to double hate towels. Michigan Stadium makes the next cut in the USA's World Cup bid. (Note to guy who posted this on the messageboard: AAAARGH it's on topic. It's about Michigan Stadium.) And this is apropos of little but there's a team named "Trollhattan" in the second level of Swedish soccer. There's a terribly funny joke about the internet in there somewhere.
Unverified Voracity Imports KenPom
Lines. Here are a bunch of Vegas lines, all of which are unfriendly to Michigan:
- vs Notre Dame –2.5
- @ Michigan State –4
- vs Penn State –5
- @ Illinois –7
- vs Ohio State –6
Notre Dame is a touchdown favorite over Michigan State despite State's recent ownage in South Bend. This has given Jamie happy pants.
(HT: Get The Picture.)
A tempo-free start. Texas blog Barking Carnival has put together a listing of teams by "pace," which is a concept unfamiliar in football but should be known to all who have heard me rail on about how Ken Pomeroy is an American hero. It's basically the number of possessions in a game. Adjusting for that can radically change perceptions of who is best and by how much:
As we move forward, one important thing to keep an eye on is that according to the standard per game stats, which are of course all that most "analysts" are able to wrap their heads around, Oklahoma's offense was just over 37% more effective in Big 12 games than our offense was. It's hard to argue that they were better according to raw numbers, but 37%? Sounds crazy. …
Here we can see that Oklahoma's offense is now rated a more reasonable shade under 11% better than Texas' offense. And whereas Texas' defensive advantage was nearly 27% it is now just over 8% in the new analysis.
Oklahoma's offense wasn't that much more efficient, it just moved at warp speed.
Notes on the national list:
- Unsurprisingly, spread teams Oklahoma, Oregon, Houston, Troy, and Rice played the most possession-intensive games of anyone last year. Most of the top 20 are pass-oriented spread teams.
- Gus Mahlzahn and his Ludicrous Speed offense was tenth.
- Michigan was middle of the pack at 47; West Virginia was 69th.
- Interesting teams towards the bottom: Virginia Tech (118), Ohio State (117), Georgia (111), Iowa (108), Alabama(107), and Florida (106). There does not appear to be much correlation between pace and excellence.
It's a good start, but there are a lot of limitations to the study. KenPom adjusts his official pace measures by the pace of your opponents. That corrects for situations like playing Northwestern's basketball team a lot. This study doesn't have it. Also, there's no shot clock in football* and game situations dictate hurrying up or slowing down depending on who's in the lead, so one reason you might find a bunch of good teams at the bottom is their ability to get in front and then boa constrictor the life out of a game.
I'm working on getting a comprehensive play database from Bill Connolly of Football Outsiders, and when I get that my first priority is to put together offensive and defensive rankings by drive efficiency instead of raw yardage.
*(There is a play clock but here we're looking one level higher.)
Sad Pandas. It's been a bad week for the Feagin clan. Justin, of course, got the boot from Michigan for reasons unspecified. His uncle is in much, much deeper trouble:
Meanwhile, Steven Feagin, who played at another Big Ten school, the University of Illinois, stands accused of breaking into a woman's home in Pompano Beach, knocking her out with a chemical, then raping her twice.
By no means do I want to imply that Justin's thing was anything similar, or try to draw some link between the two. It's just… it's just a bad week for Feagins, is all. Poor mom.
(HT: Big House Blog.)
Come on down. Er, up. Memphis SF Casey Prather, one of two plan A wings Michigan is pursuing fervently, should be taking an official visit this fall. Rivals' Jerry Meyer:
Michigan is very much in the running for Prather, who recently had a strong showing in the adidas Super 64 event. There is talk that Prather might visit Michigan the second week in September for the Notre Dame football game, but those plans have not been finalized yet. Regardless, Michigan is expected to get a visit from Prather. … Prather is intrigued by the opportunity for immediate playing time at Michigan.
Securing Prather would go a long way towards crushing this blog's previous skepticism about Beilein's ability to recruit at a Big Ten championship level. Also: the Trey Zeigler rumblings have shifted towards Central Michigan, where his dad coaches. Rumblings subject to change, as per usual.

Thousands Of Women Sign Petition Against The 'Tampon Tax'
CREDIT: Shutterstock
After nearly 100,000 people signed a petition demanding to "remove the unfair tampon tax," some Australian officials are considering a policy change to exempt sanitary products from the country's 10 percent "Goods and Services" tax (GST).
In a statement released on Tuesday, Australian Treasurer Joe Hockey said that he may ask state and territory governments to remove the "tampon tax," after the Treasury calculates exactly how much it will cost to lift the GST on women's sanitary pads and tampons. Other health-related products — like condoms, sunscreen, and nicotine patches — are already exempt from the 10 percent tax.
Hockey's concession came after a college student named Subeta Vimalarajah, who started the online petition on the subject, presented him with the hundreds of thousands of signatures that have been gathered so far.
Australia's entire tax system is currently up for review, and Vimalarajah is asking policymakers to take the opportunity to change the way sanitary products are classified. In her petition, Vimalarajah makes the case that "a period is not a luxury or societal burden, it is an aspect of reproductive health" and argues that half of the Australian population should not be required to pay a 10 percent tax on the products they need to manage their monthly periods.
This week, armed with a giant tampon, Vimalarajah appeared on a television panel to confront Hockey about the issue. She asked the treasurer whether he believed that tampons are an essential health product, and pressed him about whether they should be exempt from the GST tax.

"Do I think sanitary products are essential? I think so, I think so," Hockey replied.
Other elected officials haven't been so quick to embrace reform in this area. Immediately after Hockey's public comments on the tampon tax, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott clarified that exempting sanitary products from the GST is "certainly not something that this Government has a plan to do." Abbott said he understands why some people are lobbying to repeal the "tampon tax," but emphasized that the issue should be decided on the state level.
The debate over taxing sanitary products is hardly limited to Australia. Canadian women, for instance, have been fighting for decades to remove their country's sales tax on feminine hygiene products, saying it's offensive to classify them as a luxury good. Several U.S. states — including California, Wisconsin, and New York — also level a sales tax on tampons and pads. Earlier this month, a lawmaker in New York indicated that he's planning to introduce a measure to repeal the tax in his state, pointing out that "this is a quality-of-life issue…. Women have to use feminine hygiene products."
Managing a monthly period can be especially difficult for economically disadvantaged women who are already struggling to get by. Here in the U.S., government assistance programs like SNAP don't cover sanitary products, which leaves some low-income women forced to resort to desperate measures — like using old rags — when they get their period. Many homeless women don't have any access to tampons at all because sanitary products typically aren't distributed in shelters.
However, the issue remains deeply controversial. Last year, when feminist writer Jessica Valenti penned a column in the Guardian arguing that tampons should be subsidized by the government, she was subject to intense backlash from people who told her to stop whining about paying for feminine products. "Just get a real job and you'll be able to afford tampons," one critic responded. "Here's a thought: get married. Then your husband can pay for it. As long as your putting out…." another told her.
Casting tampons as an essential good is not a fringe view. The United Nations considers the ability to exercise proper personal hygiene, including menstrual hygiene, to be a basic human right. Last year, a coalition of nongovernmental organizations marked the first-ever global "Menstrual Hygiene Day" to emphasize the link between accessible sanitary products and women's economic success.
"The biggest factor that annoys me is the inconsistency," Vimalarajah wrote in an op-ed published on Tuesday explaining why she's been fighting so hard to repeal the tampon tax. "It's one thing to make everything taxable, but it's different when the government has identified 'important' health goods as exempt, but refuses to acknowledge sanitary products as in this category."


text: I probably already know the answer to this, and know where this comes from, but I figured I'd ask in case I overlooked something... At work several co-workers are interested in getting their CCW. I have been encouraging them and answering questions... So any way during lunch these 2 co-workers went to a local eating place and struck up a conversation with a City LEO... They were asking the LEO some questions about CCW and one of the questions that the LEO told them the answer to seemed false. They asked him if they could only could carry the weapon they qualified with, and he told them "Yes, the ones you qualify with @ the CCW class are the only ones you can carry!" When they told me that, I informed them that was incorrect and it was a probably a rookie that told them that... This probably stems from LEO's requirement to qualify with duty and off duty weapons... I know that some states DO have this requirement but NC isn't one of them... I also went over the NC laws and saw no such reference to CCW qualification weapons so my question is this: "Are you limited to the CCW weapon you qualified with in NC, or is there NO such requirement???" I say no, but that part of the class I must have missed if it was included... Thanks for your help... Wanna kill these ads? We can help!

There does seem to be ongoing efforts to politically destroy Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, who has been considered a frontrunner for the Republican nomination for president in a couple of years. His blunt persona has an appeal to many people, especially the blue collar set. He's a threat to the Democrats.
He has handled allegations of playing dirty politics well and may not be mortally wounded. He has admitted that his administration has had missteps and he hasn't hesitated to take action by firing a key member of his inner circle. It has been pointed out by political observers that President Obama has never fired anyone on his staff who fumbled their responsibilities.

SEATTLE -- Center Kali Bennett is leaving the Washington women's basketball team, The Seattle Times reported.
A 6-foot-5 freshman, Bennett is the fourth of the six-member 2007 recruiting class to leave first-year coach Tia Jackson's program. She informed Jackson in a meeting on Thursday, according to the paper.
Candice Nichols left the program at the beginning of the regular season. Jess McCormack returned to New Zealand late in the season and after Katelan Redmon transferred to Gonzaga.
All four players were recruited by former coach June Daugherty, who was fired last May and is now at Washington State.
Daugherty was 191-139 (.579) at Washington, including 113-85 in the Pac-10.
"Kali chose the UW over other schools because of June Daugherty," Chris Bennett, Kali's mother, told The Times.
"We hoped that coach Tia Jackson would be a positive coach, but unfortunately her style has been entirely different from that of June's. We support Kali's decision to leave the program because we have seen first-hand the pain it has caused her."
She said her daughter wants to transfer to Washington State.
Bennett averaged 4.9 points and three rebounds in 30 games.

I have an edgelist for a two mode network, similar to this:
person Event
Amy football_game
Sam picnic
Bob art_show
I want to perform an analysis on this in R, but seemingly everything I try fails. Converting it to a one mode network runs into memory limitations, and I can't figure out how to analyze it as bipartite in either igraph or tnet.
In igraph,
bipartite.projection gives me all
FALSE, on the igraph object created using
net <- graph.edgelist(myobject)
On tnet, I can't convert the igraph net to a tnet one, and when I try to use the original data frame, it refuses because of duplicates in the graph.
So answers to any of the following would be super appreciated:
- How do I use the
- How do I input an igraph object into tnet?
- If all else fails, how I do I input a data frame with duplicate edges into tnet?
Sorry if these are basic questions, but there's very little documentation.
edgelist <- read.table(text="Person Event
Amy football
Bob picnic
Sam artshow",
edgelist <- as.matrix(edgelist)
## Igraph Issues
igraph <- graph.edgelist(edgelist)
typevector <- bipartite.projection(igraph)
# gets all FALSE
edgelist2 <- get.edgelist(igraph)
typevector <- bipartite.projection(edgelist2)
# same thing
## tnet issues
tnet <- as.tnet(edgelist)
# gives error: "There are duplicate events in the edgelist"
tnet <- as.tnet(edgelist2)
clusterMat <- clustering_local_tm(tnet)
# gives error: "max not meaningful for factors"
onemode <- projecting_tm(tnet, method="Newman")
# gives error: "arguments must have same length"

My Traffic Monsoon Income Continues To Grow – More Proof!
You will see from my 19 November blog post, I was delighted to show you that I had reached 47 active Ad Packs and was earning around $50.00 per day in Traffic Monsoon.
My Blog post at the end of December showed that I then had 80 active Ad Packs in Traffic Monsoon and that I had earned almost $8,500.
More important, was the continuous growth and upward spiral. In that month, I earned $2,344.75 but that accelerated to $616.35 in that last week alone, which equated to $2,670.85 per month, which was almost double the amount that I was earning on 19 November, as shown in my 19 November blog post!

My Current Traffic Monsoon Income Earnings.
This brought my total earnings to a huge $10,181.65!!!
My previous month's earnings had accelerated to $3.059.21!!!
My previous week's earnings had accelerated to $756.40, i.e. $3,277 per month. Without any increase whatsoever, this would give an income of $39,332.79 over a year…
and all for spending 10 minutes watching ads on my computer and sharing in Traffic Monsoon's huge daily income, because of the huge traffic and sales that it creates.
There are now 3 million Traffic Monsoon members all around the World, helping to create this huge income which continues to grow on a daily basis.

Record Store Day
This past weekend saw the seventh year of a fascinating promotional marketing event that could be something the independent gift store business should be looking at.
It was called Record Store Day and basically, it was a shopping day that called attention to the idea of consumers physically going to their local record/music store and shopping in person for CDs and vinyl. Some 2000 stores participated in the event which is loosely organized by the stores themselves with some professional organizing help. (www.Recordstoreday.com has more details.)
This is still very much a small enterprise in a day when downloading songs on a smartphone is the way most people get their music. That is not likely to revert back to the time when Virgin, Sam Goody and their ilk dominated the record business. Even now, one of the last big players in New York, J&R Music World, just closed up its store last month.
And a lot of the in-store activity that's left is centered around collector's vinyl, which accounts for 3 percent of all album sales, up from less than 1 percent just six years ago.
But as a promotional effort, an idea like Record Store Day could have a lot of appeal to struggling independent gift and home stores looking for a marketing hook. Yes, we know about Small Business Saturday during the holiday season, but another event not in the prime buying time is something that retailers could use in slower times.
Is there somebody out there who likes this idea and wants to take the lead on Gift Store Day? Let us know, Gifts & Dec magazine would be very interested.

Tyson Cleotis Chandler (born October 2, 1982) is an American professional basketball center who currently plays for the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association. Chandler was the second overall pick of the 2001 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Clippers, then was immediately traded to the Chicago Bulls. He has also played for the New Orleans Hornets, Charlotte Bobcats, and Dallas Mavericks. As starting center for Dallas, he helped win the franchise's first NBA championship in 2011. He was also a member of the United States men's national basketball team's gold medal run in the 2010 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
Chandler was born to a single mother. He and his two brothers, Terrell and Tervon, grew up in their family's farm in Hanford, California, just south of Fresno, California. Chandler began playing basketball at three years old on a basket Chandler's grandfather, Cleotis, fixed on a tree. Chandler grew up doing farm work such as milking cows, slopping pigs, and cultivating crops. At nine years old Chandler and his mother moved to San Bernadino, California; he was already nearly six feet tall. As a child Chandler was teased because of his height; children on his school basketball team joked that he was older than he really was, and that he had been left back several times in school.

Similar to a trumpet but boasting a fatter and mellower tone, the flugelhorn is a popular brass instrument that can be found in everything from world-renowned brass bands to cool jazz ensembles. In fact, professional flugelhornists have earned themselves much praise over the decades, including Lee Loughnane of Chicago, Scott Spillane of Neutral Milk Hotel and Probyn Gregory of Brian Wilson Band. To put it simply, the flugelhorn is an incredibly versatile musical instrument, and bringing the best out of your flugelhorn repertoire calls for a model that was built with your high aspirations in mind. And for that, you've definitely come to the right place.
In this catalog, you'll discover that today's top brass instrument manufacturers are dedicated to constructing professional flugelhorns that look as stunning as they play and sound. The only thing you have to do is consider your own tastes and budget, and go from there. For example, if you're looking for an affordably priced flugelhorn that was made based on the recommendations of a musical icon, check out the Blessing BFH-1541T Series Bb Flugelhorn. Cliff Blackburn has decades of experiences in the design of flugelhorns and the creation of this beautiful instrument was based on his expertise. Available in your choice of a lacquer brass or silver plated finish, the BFH-1541T has amazing intonation and its upgraded valve block adds only further to its beauty.
Or maybe you have more wiggle room in your bank account and want to spoil yourself for all those years of hard work and practice - if so, then take a look at the Antoine Courtois Paris AC159R-1-0 Reference Bb Flugelhorn. This horn has a 5.9" rose brass bell for superior response and .413" bore with a direct air column design through a valve block for minimal resistance. It even has a 3rd valve slide trigger to make intonation adjustment easier. When you get right down to it, the AC159 is a flugelhorn that was built specifically for the concert veteran and its smooth playability and rich, warm tone make that obvious.
It would take us all day to cover every single professional flugelhorn that deserves your attention, so we'll leave the next move up to you. With names like Getzen, B&S, Cerveny and countless others making up this section, you don't need to look anywhere else for a flugelhorn that will make your next performance an unforgettable night for your audience.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention provides methods of modulating in optical communication, said methods comprising means for accelerating charged particles so as to establish positive net emission of electromagnetic radiation, said method comprising means for driving accelerated particles, as well as comprising means for transforming an optical beam into a delayed electromagnetic wave, and also converting the kinetic energy of charged particles into energy of the same electromagnetic wave. The steps of transforming as well as converting take place simultaneously in the same interaction region, which is formed by a wave-guide structure. The step of transforming may be implemented e.g., as said wave guide structure having suitable geometric configuration and dielectric/metal properties. Said manipulating means may be implemented, e.g., as deflector, which is driven by a small voltage, alternatively, other systems for changing of charged particle beam properties can be exploited for said manipulating.
Prior art optical techniques for modulating signals may take the form of a mechanical shutter, which is interposed between areas of light transmission or directly on surface of light-guide fiber. These shutters tend to have natural limit for velocity determined by mechanical part motion. The best "push-pull" configuration modulator, which has magnitude ˜1.5 microns, operates with voltage ˜2 volts and at a frequency of ˜40 GHz. Another technique includes the use of a semiconductor optical guide, across which electrical voltage or magnetic field may be applied. This voltage (or field) alters the optical characteristics of such guide to change or modulate the light passing therethrough. This provides a workable optical device and its speed of modulation is limited by inertia of electrical properties of solid state. The best example of characteristics-changing semiconductor devices can be efficient in transmitting data at rates of speed ˜160 Gbits per each carrying frequency channel before wavelength division multiplexing. Other types of solid-state devices use acousto-optical waves or surface plasmon and don't have better rates of speed than previous example. Apparently, modulation by direct superposition of modulating light and propagating light will have higher rates of speed, then in case of using of solid-state electro-inertial devices. Initially it had been proposed that the modulating mode should be added to other modes into multimode light-guide fiber. But in that type of modulation the use of multimode fiber was obligatory and there were nothing said about the technique of producing high-speed changed modulating light. Later it has been suggested, that low-power diode laser, which modulated an output power of fiber laser, could be used. However, the necessary semiconductor diode has the same modulating speed limitation as other solid-state devices. At the present, therefore, new knowledge shows that sophisticated multimode regime is not obligatory and, exactly, driven radiation of free moving charged particles should be used to produce modulating light for the fastest modulation process in optical data transmitting.
2. Background of the Related Art
OLSE, such as Cherenkov effect (CR) and Smith-Purcell effect (SPR), exist in charged particle radiation, when velocity of particle moving is higher then speed, with which the front of electromagnetic wave is transferred (higher than phase speed of light). Also OLSE-radiation emits by charged particles passing suddenly between two media with different indices of refraction, e.g., a thin foil and vacuum (transmitting radiation TR). Diffraction radiation (DR) is similar to TR except the particles pass through a small aperture. CR, SPR, DR and/or TR as jointly (in combinations) as well severally can be exploited for producing of modulating light.
In particular, CR and/or SPR take place for charges, which compactly move along a surface and their velocity is more than speed of electromagnetic surface wave (ESW, or evanescent mode). Efficiency of transformation of moving particle power into ESW-power is determined by the boundary parameters. Transformation parameters were studied for both periodical metal structures and periodical dielectric structures; moreover, it is well known that transformation is possible even in the case of a flat dielectric surface—the case of total internal reflection. OLSE-power application has been used for decades in diffraction electronics as a microwave amplifier and now is being developed up to X-ray generation in Free Electron Laser (FEL) schemas. Previously, inverse OLSE-power application was exploited and developed for acceleration of charged particles by light and infrared lasers. And lastly the first device "electron tube type unidirectional optical amplifier" was recently patented; conditions of the energy exchange between electron beam and light beam in this device are similar as in other CR or SPR devices.
So, great amount of works is concerned about OLSE for power application, and new technique becomes to fit for OLSE information application, or for optical modulation purposes exactly.
There are many schemas of FEL in use, from sub-millimeter to submicron wavelength ranges. For optical modulating purpose, the schema of FEL, which utilizes a metal grating, has been analyzed below.
Some schemas of LAC were proposed in recent years, including laser linac (line accelerator) with metal grating, laser-driven droplets linac, laser linac with flat or ribbed dielectric surface, and other types of LAC using near-field interaction as well as TR/DR effects. The interaction of the electron beam with the laser beam was recently successfully demonstrated in inverse Cherenkov and inverse FEL acceleration principles. Experiments involving vacuum laser acceleration will have an interaction region of about 10 waves (using 10.6 micron CO2 laser). Therefore, LAC-based embodiments should be analyzed today as workable for purposes of optical modulation.
Three schemas of UOA were proposed: UOA-1 which has the electron beam travelling line, which is made of ZnSe; UOA-2 which has wave-like mirrors; and UOA-3 which has a dielectric-layer structure. In the case of UOA-1 a sufficiently high accelerating voltage could not be used, but the delay waveguide has to be formed precisely with a precision of less than nanometer order, at present such a precise processing can't be easily realized. In the case of UOA-2 the wave-like mirrors have to be manufactured with a precision not larger than nano-meter order, at present such a technique has not been developed. Only UOA-3, which is disclosed in a patent to Yamada in 2001, discloses a currently workable design, but isn't experimentally tested yet.
The UOA as well as the FEL are able to provide possible exponential growth for intensity of optical beam.
Yamada gave formula for UOA-3 gain coefficient "g", which can be rewritten as:
g=(32ππ/ββ)*(f*EO)*(i/I)*(l*l)/(λ*W*h), (F1)
The FEL-W is disclosed in a patent to Walsh, which uses ESW over the metal grating. Kim and Song studied theory of this device; they have obtained formula for growth rate "μ", which can be written as:
2μ=(4π/ββ/γγ)*SQRT(exp2*EM)*SQRT((i/I)/(λ*W)) (F2),
Khizhniak and Zhilkov have patented the LAC-Z, which uses ESW over the dielectric grating in the case of total internal reflection. For this device a formula is used that is similar to (F2), but EM should be changed on ED—the element of a refraction matrix of the dielectric grating. In optional case ED can reach ˜1.0, i.e., the "quality" of coupling between optical field and electron beam over the dielectric grating up to 10 times more, than over the metal grating. The following reasons explain this fact: LAC-Z uses single mode regime of field versus two modes regime in FEL-W; both CR and SPR are simultaneously used in LAC-Z versus FEL-W uses SPR only.
Comparison between UOA-3 and FEL-W is made in the numeric example, when kinetic energy of electrons is equal to 32 keV, phase velocity of ESW is equal to β=v/c=0.34 in this case. The longitude of interaction region "l" is squeezed up to accessible limit. Limit is determined by minimum as possible of diameter of a gauss optical beam and equals to tens of optical wavelengths, e.g., l=10 mλ, where m is a small integer. It is necessary for modulation to reach the growth of intensity of optical beam up to 100*a percent after passing through the interaction region; a—is a small rational number, a<1 and it's supposed to be g1)2 μl=a. If the electron beam is squeezed up to h=0.1λ and W=100 h=10λ, and the "quality" of coupling between optical field and electron beam is optimal, then from (F1) the formula for necessary current in UOA is approximately obtained as i=0.63 a/(m*m*m) (Amps), and from (F2) the formula for necessary current in FEL is approximately obtained as i=1.78 a*a/(m*m) (Amps). As it's seen from these formulas the 13% gain (a=0.13 is enough for modulation purpose) after passing l=30λ (e.g. m=3) will be reached, if UOA has current i=3.0 milli-Amp, or if FEL has current i=3.3 milli-Amp. So, necessary current of FEL is approximately equal to necessary current of UOA, however, at the same time the necessary current of LAC-Z is considerably less (˜0.3 milli-Amp), because LAC-Z has the best "quality" of coupling between the optical field and the electron beam. The time of interaction between optical field and electron beam equals t=l/v=10 m*λ(βc)=10 m/(βω), where ω is a frequency of field of optical beam. Consequently, the frequency of modulation of optical beam by electron beam can approximately reach:
Ω=�t=βω/20m (F3).
Formula (F3) shows, if β=0.34 and m=3, then frequency of modulation can reach hundreds of Giga-Hertz in infrared region, or Tera-Hertz for visible light, or even tens of Tera-Hertz in near ultraviolet region:
λ 10.6 micron 1.55 micron 500 nano-meter 8 nano-meter Ω 170 GHz 1.1 THz 3.4 THz 21.25 THz
If a relativistic electron beam is used (β=0.9) and the optical beam is the most squeezed (m=1), then the frequency of modulation (F3) is increased up to eight times compared with the previous example table. However, squeezing up to m=1 can be reached in FEL and LAC schemas, but not in UOA. In UOA interaction region "l" must include three different parts: the place of optical beam inputting (not less approximately ˜10λ)), the place of optical beam outputting (not less approximately ˜10λ too), and the space between input and output of optical beam (also approximately ˜10λ); at that, these parts can't be spatially combined with each other, so, in the schema of UOA "m" cannot be less than 3. At the same time both the FEL and the LAC are supposed to have an interaction region, which has all of these three parts at the same place, so, it's possible for m=1 in their schemas.
In case of using ESW the interaction region has effective longitude "l" and height ˜(b+h), at that, the interaction takes place exactly at the time when the optical field, which should be modulated, and the electron beam, which provides modulation, are simultaneously present at said region. Controlled modulation of the optical field is able to be reached by changing of parameters of the interacting electron beam. In particular, before the interacting process the electron beam is able to be changed by two methods at least: 1) by bunching (making discrete density) of the electron beam without changing its propagating direction; 2) by deflection of the electron beam from the interaction region and returning to said region without changing the current density.
As far as first method is concerned, today's FEL/LAC technique operates by the relativistic flat electron bunch having parameters, for example, such as h=0.5 μmicron, W=50 micron, l=30 micron, and i=100 kA; also squeezing a bunch up to h˜some tens of Angstrom and l/c˜some tens of atto-second was reported. Such bunching is over and above that needed for optical modulation, but the making of such a bunch is very expensive at the present time.
As for the second method, it's easy to show that a simple pair of flat electrodes is able to provide the necessary deflection/returning of electron beam by using voltage not very much than ˜1V. It's well-known if the axis of electron beam is in the middle between two parallel flat electrodes when said electrodes have no voltage, then the switching on voltage "U" provides the deflection of the electron beam, at that, in beginning of the observation region said deflection is proportionally
So, if the deflecting electrodes' pair is interposed before interaction region (which coincides with observation region) and, for example, β=0.34, L1=30λR=4 h=0.4λ, L2=m2*10λ, m2 is integer, then d is approximately equal to
where abs(U) is absolute value of U and U should be taken in volts.
Taking m2=7 previous formula gives d=0.1*abs(U)*λ=abs(U)*h and it shows possibility of simple manipulating of the electron beam's presence into interaction region. Said manipulating is reached by a small voltage, because if the electron beam is deflected up to some "h" superfluously over the conducting ESW surface, then interaction practically ceases. Hence, the changing of the deflecting electrodes' voltage from zero to "U" leads to modulation of optical field and said modulation has the same frequency, as frequency of voltage is changing. Also for certain embodiments of the second method, the deflector can be made as standard magneto-deflecting system, which has a small manipulating magnetic field. Flat-electrodes deflectors and the magnetic deflectors or other similar deflecting systems do not present problems in terms of modern technology and can be constructed by those of skill in the art; moreover, such deflector systems will not be expensive.
If for modulating light producing the TR/DR effects or other combination of OLSE effects are used, then the interaction region will be small as well as in the previous example, and the simple manipulation by free moving electrons is going to provide the necessary modulation process, as it shows above.
Referring now to the drawings,
Various changes to the foregoing embodiments of the present invention would now be evident to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the particularly disclosed scope of the invention is set forth in the following claims. In view of the invention disclosed, the idea of the manipulation of an accelerated particle beam for creation controlled light modulators is quite workable now and can be realized in many different cases. As well as it is known said idea has never been published earlier, but modulators, which are based on this idea, will provide much more speed of modulation than previous ones. Additional reasons related to the usefulness of OLSE-modulator are disclosed herein. Nuclear weapons have for five generations been the main effect consisting in electromagnetic radiation (EMR). EMR is supposed to influence semiconductor elements the way that they will change their properties and after EMR influences the devices which contain said elements, the devices will typically malfunction. At the same time devices without semiconductor elements, for example vacuum tube type, do not malfunction after EMR influence. That's why the OLSE-type modulator, which does not have any semiconductor element, has a very important positive difference from electro-absorption modulators, which are made of semiconductor material.
Having elliptical midplane the optical beam 5 (o-beam) with wavelength λ is normally directed to optical input surface 13 of transformer 23; at that, o-beam's electric field is parallel to the plane of longitudinal section. Transformer 23 is made of dielectric with refractive index n and has two surfaces—plane surface 13 for o-beam inputting and periodically ribbed surface 14 having period Λ; the angle between these surfaces is equal to α. At that, for optimal functioning two obligatory conditions must take place together:
E-beam is of ribbon type having small half-thickness h and width W, for example, W=100 h, and β=0.34.
O-beam is supposed to have oval projection on the surface 14, for example, having longitude l=30λ. Deflector 20 consists of two flat parallel electrodes 21 and 22 each having longitude L1; the distance between said electrodes equals R, for example, R=4 h. The applied voltage between the deflector's electrodes can be changed from 0 to U volts. If said voltage equals 0, then the e-beam moves in the middle plane between electrodes without deflection. If said voltage equals U, then the e-beam is deflected from said middle plane and the total deflection equals d after passing through the L1-length of deflector and L2-length between deflector and transformer.
When the e-bean passes thorough the deflector element 2 without deflection (voltage equals 0), then the trajectory 8 of e-beam is parallel to the ribbed surface 14 and has a height b over said surface. When the deflector's voltage equals U, then the trajectory 9 of the e-beam has a height not less than b+d over the ribbed surface 14.
If, for example, L1=30λ and L2=70λ, then d is approximately equal to d=abs (U)*h. Compared to non-deflecting trajectory 8, deflecting trajectory 9 of the e-beam has additional decreasing of coupling with the optical field, which is modulated, and said decreasing is in proportion to exp (2πd/λβγ). So, if, for example, d equals: d=0.1λ (i.e., U=1 volts and h=0.1λ), then in this example said coupling on—the deflecting trajectory is up to six times less than coupling on—the non-deflecting trajectory.
Ribbed surface 14, for example, has a rectangle ribs or cogs profile; the dimensions of the ribs or cogs are numerically determined to provide optimal value of the fundamental mode of a refraction matrix of said periodically ribbed surface (It is necessary for minimizing the value of current of e-beam, which is enough to provide modulation). However, even though the ribs or cogs have zero length and zero height (e.g., ribbed surface 14 is flat), then modulating effect can be reached too, but by using of considerably more value of the current of the e-beam than in the case of optimal profile. At that, the use of flat surface has important advantage—it is much more simple to go about making such a surface.
