Resonant cavity light‐emitting diode60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106489View Description Hide Description
A novel concept of a light‐emitting diode(LED) is proposed and demonstrated in which the active region of the device is placed in a resonantoptical cavity. As a consequence, the optical emission from the active region is restricted to the modes of the cavity.Resonantcavity light‐emitting diodes(RCLED) have higher spectral purity and higher emission intensity as compared to conventional light emitting diodes. Results on a top‐emitting RCLED structure with AlAs/Al x Ga1−x As quarter wave mirrorsgrown by molecular beam epitaxy are presented. The experimental emission linewidth is 17 meV (0.65 kT) at room temperature. The top‐emission intensity is a factor of 1.7 higher as compared to conventional LEDs.
(InAs)1/(GaAs)4 superlattices quantum‐well laser60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106462View Description Hide Description
We report the fabrication and performance characteristics of (InAs1)/(GaAs)4 short‐period superlattice (SPS) strained quantum‐well lasers emitting near 1 μm. The SPS consists of 6 periods of 1 and 4 ML of InAs and GaAs, respectively. The 250‐μm‐long ridge waveguide lasers have a threshold current of 10 mA, an external differential quantum efficiency of 0.35 mW/mA facet, and have operated to a temperature of 200 °C.
Room temperature blue lasing of ZnS x Se1− x alloys by photopumping60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106463View Description Hide Description
Photopumped lasing of ZnS0.05Se0.95 alloys grown by seeded physical vapor‐phase transport technique is observed at room temperature for the first time. This is achieved with the excitation photonenergy tuned close to the band gap. The longitudinal lasing modes are well resolved. This work demonstrates that ZnS x Se1−x alloys can be used as an alternative to ZnSe in blue light‐emitting device fabrications.
Resonant‐cavity InGaAlAs/InGaAs/InAlAs phototransistors with high gain for 1.3–1.6 μm60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106464View Description Hide Description
We describe the characteristics of resonant‐cavity heterojunction bipolar phototransistors (RCHPTs) grown on InP substrates. The active layers are part of a Fabry–Perot cavity in which gold is the top reflector and an InGaAlAs/InAlAs quarter‐wave stack is the bottom reflector. The stack and active layer thicknesses are such that the absorption is resonantly enhanced by ∼100% at 1.28 μm in one wafer and 1.52 μm in another. An enhancement in photocurrent response also of ∼100% is obtained at resonance. A dc phototransistor current gain of 5000, corresponding to an optical gain of ∼2500 at resonance, was measured on a three‐terminal device in a RCHPT wafer.
Laser diode‐pumped femtosecond erbium‐doped fiber laser with a sub‐ring cavity for repetition rate control60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106465View Description Hide Description
It is shown for the first time that the pulse repetition rate of a femtosecond erbium‐doped fiber laser with a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror can be controlled by attaching a sub‐ring linear cavity to the main cavity. The transit time in the sub‐ring cavity is set as an inverse integer of that in the main cavity, resulting in an increase in the repetition rate of the output pulse. The pulse thus obtained has a width of 315 fs, a peak power of 12.7 W, and a repetition rate of 125 MHz.
New molecular design approach for noncentrosymmetric crystal structures: Lambda (Λ)‐shaped molecules for frequency doubling60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106466View Description Hide Description
Second‐order optical nonlinearity exists in a noncentrosymmetric crystal. We investigated a new molecular concept for noncentrosymmetric crystal structure. The Λ‐shaped molecules have been found to easily form noncentrosymmetric crystals by stacking along one direction. The configuration of Λ‐shaped molecules is close to an optimum condition for crystal phase‐matched nonlinearity. We demonstrate that methanediamine derivatives forming Λ‐shaped conformation are promising as efficient χ(2) materials.
Hydrogen detection based on coloration of anodic tungsten oxide film60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106467View Description Hide Description
A novel method for detecting hydrogen was developed by using very thin palladium overlayer‐anodic oxide film‐tungsten sheet structure. Its optical reflectance is modulated by the presence of hydrogen in the ambient gas. The effect can be explained by the free electron modulation of optical constants of the oxide film. It is a prerequisite for fast hydrogen detection that the film consists of hydrated tungsten oxide WO3⋅H2O. The present hydrogen detector has optical readouts compatible to both thin film micro‐optics and fiber optics.
Investigations of behavior of particles generated from laser‐ablated YBa2Cu3O7−x target using laser‐induced fluorescence60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106468View Description Hide Description
YBa2Cu3O7 − x target was laser ablated by an ArF excimer laser, and the time of flight (TOF) distributions of Ba atoms were investigated by laser induced fluorescence(LIF) as a function of the irradiation laser fluence (0.2–3 J/cm2) and the surrounding oxygen gas pressure (0–5.32 Pa). At higher irradiation fluence (≳2 J/cm2) without oxygen gas, the TOF distribution showed a twin‐peak distribution with fast and slow velocities, while only the slow velocity component was observed at lower fluence. When oxygen gas was introduced, the low velocity component was quenched at lower oxygen pressure than the high one, indicating that the TOF distribution can be controlled by the oxygen pressure.
Phase transition of Al‐Yb alloy films upon ion irradiation and thermal annealing60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106469View Description Hide Description
Al80Yb20 multilayered alloy films were amorphized by ion beam mixing at room temperature. A new metastable phase of hexagonal structure was formed when the irradiation dose was greater than that required to amorphize the alloy films. The metastable phase turned amorphous when the film was annealed at 500 °C for 10 min. It was also found that Al‐Yb multilayers could be amorphized by solid state reaction. Al1−x Yb x multilayered alloy films, with 17<x<30 at. %, became amorphous through interdiffusion at 450 °C for 20 min.
Hexagonal barium titanate films60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106470View Description Hide Description
The fabrication of hexagonal barium titanate films by sputtering technique is reported. Compressed powders of hexagonal bariumtitanate were sputtered in argon/oxygen gas mixtures. The as‐grown films were amorphous and a post‐deposition annealing above 700 °C resulted in the crystallization of the films with hexagonal crystal structure. Transmission electron microscopy was used to study the crystallization of the amorphous films.
Vapor phase synthesis of crystalline nanometer‐scale GaAs clusters60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106471View Description Hide Description
We report the synthesis of crystalline nanometer‐scale GaAs clusters in the 5–10 nm size regime. The clusters are formed by the homogeneous nucleation of a nonequilibrium vapor created by the explosive vaporization of a bulk GaAs sample in an inert atmosphere. High resolution electron microscopy and diffraction show that the clusters have zincblende crystal structure and are faceted. Optical measurements on the particles are suggestive of quantum confinement effects.
Direct experimental evidence for diffusion of dopants via pairs with intrinsic point defects60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106472View Description Hide Description
Boron was implanted into silicon at a wafer temperature of 950 °C. The resulting boron profile showed a marked uphill diffusion at the surface and a very high diffusion enhancement. Initially homogeneously distributed antimony atoms showed remarkable redistribution effects after the implantation. These experiments allow the validation of diffusion theories, including the effects of point defect gradients on the migration of dopants. It will be shown that the experimental results agree well with the predictions of pair diffusion theories.
Selective and epitaxial deposition of β‐FeSi2 on silicon by rapid thermal processing‐chemical vapor deposition using a solid iron source60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106473View Description Hide Description
Selective semiconducting iron disilicide has been epitaxially deposited by rapid thermal processingchemical vapor deposition onto patterned silicon wafers. Using a solid iron source, we obtained stoichiometric β‐FeSi2. The extrinsic conductivity energy levels are about 0.1 eV from the valence band and we show that they are responsible for the observed ''infrared quenching.''
Evaluation of the surface structure of diamond films prepared in a combustion flame by surface‐enhanced Raman scattering60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106474View Description Hide Description
Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering(SERS) was performed on the surface characterization of polycrystallinediamondfilms prepared in a C2H2‐O2combustionflame. The conventional Raman spectra of a diamondfilm showed only the peak at 1333 cm−1 corresponding to diamond. However, if Ag island films were coated onto the diamondsurface (Ag overlayer method), the resultant spectra changed drastically. The peaks around 1580 and 1355 cm−1 were remarkably enhanced; the former is assigned to the sp 2graphite structure and the latter is assigned to the disordered microcrystalline graphite structure, respectively. This would indicate that the diamondsurface has a sp 2‐like structure, which is different from the sp 3 structure in bulk. This surface configuration is discussed from the viewpoint of the surface reconstruction.
Sensitivity of resonant excitation and photoluminescence excitation measurements to exciton localization effects in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106475View Description Hide Description
Low temperature (2 K) photoluminescence(PL),PL excitation (PLE), and resonant excitation (RE) measurements on a very high quality, 150‐Å‐wide GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7As multiquantum well structure are reported, with a focus on excitonlocalization effects. The PL spectra show evidence of effective submonolayer well width fluctuations. Excitons observed via RE are found to be predominantly localized; i.e., they decay from the same effective well‐width region in which they are formed, while both localized and delocalized excitons are observed in PLEmeasurements. Delocalized excitons are free to diffuse to differing effective well‐width regions which are energetically accessible. These results are supported by time‐resolved PLmeasurements, which show essentially identical time‐responses for differing effective well‐width regions under resonant excitation conditions, thereby demonstrating the localized nature of resonantly created excitons.
Direct verification of energy back transfer from Yb 4f‐shell to InP host60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106476View Description Hide Description
We report direct verification of energy back transfer from a Yb 4f‐shell to an InP host, which has been proposed as a quenching mechanism for the intrinsic thermal quenching of intra‐4f‐shell luminescence.Photoluminescence time decay of the band‐edge related luminescence for a Yb‐doped InP sample was examined. In the temperature region from 100 to 120 K, it was observed that the luminescence time‐decay curve is composed of two exponential decay components. The decay‐time constant of the slower component in the band‐edge related luminescence is the same as that in the Yb 4f‐shell luminescence. This fact clearly shows that there is an energy transfer between the Yb 4f‐shell electronic state and the InP host electronic state, and the energy back‐transfer mechanism is the cause of the intrinsic thermal quenching of the Yb intra‐4f‐shell luminescence.
Molecular layer etching of GaAs60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106477View Description Hide Description
Layer‐by‐layer controlled molecular layer self‐limiting etching at one molecular layer of GaAs was successfully achieved for the first time by alternatively feeding an etchant of Cl and applying a low energy Ar ion beam to the GaAs substrate. The etching rate saturates exactly at one molecular layer per cycle and is independent of etchant feeding rate and the energetic ion beam flux.
Integrated wavelength demultiplexer‐receiver on InP60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.107460View Description Hide Description
A detector stage comprising a photodiode, a field‐effect transistor, and a load resistor, and a wavelength demultiplexer have been monolithically integrated in the GaInAsP/InP material system. Chips were mounted into complete modules and operated in a 1.3 μm/1.55 μm bidirectional transmission link. At 576 Mbit/s and 10−9 bit error rate the sensitivity of the module was −21 dBm, while the intrinsic sensitivity of the receiver was determined to be −28 dBm.
Role of hydrogen in synchrotron‐radiation‐stimulated evaporation of amorphous SiO2 and microcrystalline Si60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106478View Description Hide Description
We report on the photostimulated evaporation of amorphous SiO2 and microcrystalline Si by synchrotron radiation in ultrahigh vacuum and in H2 ambients up to 0.08 Torr. For a‐SiO2, the evaporation was slowed by introduction of H2, which suggests that the highly efficient decomposition process is hindered by hydrogen termination (‐OH species formation). For μc‐Si, the evaporation rate in ultrahigh vacuum was strongly affected by the degree of crystallization. The evaporation rate doubled with introduction of 0.08 Torr H2. Hydrogenation of the surface (SiH x species formation) slightly reduces the activation barrier for evaporation.
Thermal and photochemical decomposition pathways of AsH3 on GaAs(100): Implication for atomic layer epitaxy60(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.106479View Description Hide Description
We report spectroscopic evidence for the thermal and photochemical decomposition pathways of arsine (AsH3) adsorbed on Ga‐rich GaAs(100). Arsine adsorbs molecularly on the Ga‐rich GaAssurface at 120 K and dissociates upon either heating to above 200 K or irradiation with 6.4 eV photons. The dissociation of arsine is accompanied by the formation of surface Ga‐H species, which is both thermally and photochemically more stable than surface AsH x . This implies that the removal of hydrogen from Ga is the rate‐limiting step in the initial stage of As deposition from AsH3 in the thermal or photoassisted atomic‐layer epitaxy of GaAs.

How does the program calculate the loss and change in resonance with the form? I assume that the loss would be from the parasitic C, since there's low loss from the magnetic fields? The change in turns, presumably due to the change in parasitic C that "cancels" the L, although I would think that you'd need "more" turns (since the C is bigger with the form), is only a few percent. The resonant frequency change (smaller by a factor of .74) implies that LC is 1.8 times bigger with the form than without. The reduction in turn count (29 vs 30) actually makes the L smaller by a factor of 0.93, so the C must be bigger by a factor of 1.94, that is, nearly doubled. That's a pretty big change, for a form material that probably has an epsilon of something like 2-3, and with the physical size of the coil slightly smaller. Does the program assume the coil is "immersed" in the dielectric (that is, the dielectric is "between" the turns) or that the coil is wound on the surface (or in a shallow groove), in which case only half the flux is in the dielectric. What does the program assume for dielectric properties of PVC? {I'm curious because this is an interesting problem that would make a good homework problem for a class in electro/magneto statics, and I know someone who's teaching such a class and is always looking for good practical problems.} >This should give you a hint of the amount of loss contributed by the >coil with the two different forms.

After two and half months I've come to realization that my girl and I have difficulty latching on to my right breast. My nipple is shorter on this side - which often results in her biting when trying to latch on.
We also have trouble nursing in public due to my large breasts (F cup).
I have always needed to hold my breast for her. We can nurse at home pretty well with a Boppy or other pillows, but nursing in public has been hard when trying to juggle 1) Using both hands due to my breast size 2) her weight since she is pretty heavy 3) latching on to my short nipple
Any tips for large breasted women feeding in public?

WILKES-BARRE -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced Thursday that it is denying a permit for an inflatable dam to be built across the Susquehanna River in Wilkes-Barre.
The Luzerne County Flood Protection Authority had proposed building a structure that would have reached 9½ feet high and impounded 4½ miles of the free flowing river. The corps said in a statement that the dam was not the least environmentally damaging way to control floods in the area.
The proposed $14 million dam would fill an acre of wetlands and disrupt the natural current in violation of the Clean Water Act, which requires the corps to maintain the biological integrity of U.S. waterways, the statement said.
The idea of the dam was pushed for many years by U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski, D-Pa., who said it would spur development along the river's edge and rejuvenate the old industrial city. Kanjorski said he was disappointed by the decision and would look into an appeal.
"The inflatable dam is an integral component of an overall plan to allow people to use the Susquehanna River for recreational purposes," Kanjorski said in a statement released by his office. "Anyone who has tried to use a boat during the low flow period from late July through August understands the need to create a steady and predictable water level."
Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leighton also expressed disappointment, saying the dam would have had "a tremendous economic impact" on the city and the region.
But Luzerne County Commissioner Stephen A. Urban, chairman of the Luzerne County Flood Protection Authority, said he agreed with the decision. He said poor water quality would likely have barred any economic benefit from the project.
Environmentalists had opposed the dam, noting that the stretch of the Susquehanna between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre is among the most fouled segments of the river and contributes much of the pollution that makes its way to the Chesapeake Bay.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency warned that the proposed dam could damage wetlands, hamper the passage of migratory fish and destroy migratory bird habitat.

By Eric Norwood Jr.
PNT staff writer
The Roosevelt County Commission approved a request to replace 38 bunks in the Roosevelt County Detention Center.
Replacing of the bunks is a safety measure as inmates used broken bed legs to puncture holes in the ceiling in escapes in June and September, officials said.
"In both breakouts, these bed legs were used to escape," County Commissioner Kendell Buzard said. "But they also could be used as weapons, which could lead to bigger problems. We have an issue over there at the detention center and this is the first step to fixing that problem,"
The new bunks will be bolted into the floor at four points, according to Detention Center Administrator David Casanova. The old bunks were not bolted down and they were welded into the wall. The detention center already has some of the same style newer bunks, and the final 38 bunks will be the last to be replaced.
"We currently have 64 of the newer bunks. These final 38 bunks we are ordering are just like the newer ones," said Casanova.
The county will be paying just more than $22,000 for the new bunks. Casanova expects them to be delivered in 10 to 12 weeks.
"They still have to build them. I talked to them today and they are getting the metal and everything ready," Casanova said.

Bugaboo + Van Gogh: The collaboration
Bugaboo + Van Gogh: The collaboration
2015-04-01 - The Bugaboo + Van Gogh collection is now available, high time to take a closer look at what drove these two Dutch originals to collaborate.
When Bugaboo and the Van Gogh Museum decided to collaborate on a stroller it quickly became apparent that the 'Almond Blossom' painting (1890), which represents new life and new beginnings, was the perfect fit for the Bugaboo Bee3: the urban stroller for parents who live life on the fly. The bold, dramatic brush strokes and colors that give van Gogh's work a sense of movement are a perfect fit for Bugaboo.
Vincent van Gogh's great craftsmanship and attention to detail have inspired Bugaboo's mission to create unique and enduring strollers that let you and your child explore the world in style, comfort and ease. The Bugaboo + Van Gogh collection, like the artist's work, encourages you to discover the world around you, viewing it from new and different perspectives.
Ask any art lover which artist pioneered a new style of painting and changed the face of art history forever and chances are they will answer: Vincent van Gogh. A Dutch painter born in the 19th century, Van Gogh was a game changer from the get go. His unconventional approach to painting may not have earned him fame during his own life, but thanks to Jo Bonger, the widow of his brother Theo who died soon after Vincent, Van Gogh is now a household name recognized for his pure talent. Vincent dared to dream, to play with perspective, color and human features in a way that his subjects appeared almost cartoonlike.
"To be inventive means choosing a new and unexpected route. Even if people do not get it (yet), you have to stay true to your concept." - Max Barenbrug
This quote by Max Barenbrug, Founder and Chief Design Officer of Bugaboo, shows how much contemporary designers are still inspired by Vincent van Gogh to this day.

komrunning controls the state of the LysKOM server, together with the updateLysKOM program, which is run via cron.
komrunning uses the same configuration file as lyskomd. You can use -c config-file to override the compiled-in default. Note, however, that this option is not passed along to updateLysKOM if komrunning invokes it, so the option should be used with extreme caution.
-v and -V causes komrunning to report its version number and exit.
The program is documented fully by lyskomd Reference Manual, available via the Info system.

You won't have any problems staying awake on a tour in York County. There's one in downtown York that has a built in pick-me-up.
At New Grounds Roasting Company on West Market Street, you can order a cup of "Joe" and an experience along with it.
"We love being able to impart just a little bit of the artistic side, the romantic side of what coffee is," explained barista-turned-tour guide Micah Heckert.
It's a love affair that begins when the coffee beans arrive. They come in from 17 regions around the world.
The building is more than 100-years-old and used to be a commercial laundry facility. The place houses a big red roaster now.
Before they're roasted, the beans are tiny and green.
They were roasting a Mexican bean during our visit. It's a light roast, so the process takes just a little more than 10 minutes.
There are cues along the way that it's going well. You can actually hear the beans crackling. The beans are expanding and growing.
After they've been roasted, the beans will rest for at least a day. The bean's peak flavor profile comes in about 36 to 48 hours.
"There's absolutely an art to it but the nice things about coffee is that it's pretty subjective," Heckert said.

Hagel: Sorry About Insulting Gays. Can I Be Defense Secretary Now?
As his name moves up the list for secretary of defense, former Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel issued an apology today for homophobic remarks he made in a 1998 newspaper interview.
At the time, Hagel was attacking the nomination of James Hormel as be ambassador to Luxembourg, because Hormel was "aggressively gay."
"[Diplomats] are representing America," Hagel told The Omaha World-Herald at the time. "They are representing our lifestyle, our values, our standards. And I think it is an inhibiting factor to be gay — openly, aggressively gay like Mr. Hormel — to do an effective job."
Now, nearly 20 years later, as the job of a lifetime is dangling before him, Hagel suddenly realized he was a jerk: "My comments 14 years ago in 1998 were insensitive," Hagel, co-chair of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, said in a statement. "They do not reflect my views or the totality of my public record, and I apologize to Ambassador Hormel and any LGBT Americans who may question my commitment to their civil rights."
They don't reflect your views? Homophobia aside, do we want a guy who admits his comments don't reflect his opinions in a high-powered cabinet post? Isn't that aggressively stupid?
I long for and will applaud the day when conservatives admit they've been wrong on LGBT issues. But I also think a mere apology is B.S. when you've spewed particularly hateful and demonizing rhetoric. What about making amends? What has he done to support and uplift the LGBT community lately?
How about seeing just how much his views have changed in that time?
To do this, one simply needs to look over his voting record. Not surprisingly, nothing has changed.
Redemntion and forgiveness are two incredibly powerful concepts that are in no way restricted to religion. It's a humanity thing. There are those who have hurt our community terribly and now seek redemtion. It will be a very long time before our community can even think of forgiveness. But if we refuse to even entertain the thought for those who are sincere in making it right, if we allow ourselves to become so embittered and jaded, then our enemies, those who would seen harm done to us and ours, have truly won.
I'm not saying forgive this guy or forget. I'm saying see what he does in regards to LGBT issues and go from there.
Do I forgive him? Yes, and for one reason only: The neo-cons despise him. We can't afford to let AIPAC dictate our defense policy, or we'll end up with more Iraq wars.
What is aggressively stupid is his 14 year learning curve and the ignorance that gays in Europe often are treated more fairly and have rights American gays are still anticipating. His apology seems hollow and simply a token to get his dream job.
Let's try to make more of an issue out of this. Surely there's more.
Are you all just too young to remember that his opinion was mainstream 15 years ago? Bill Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act, and now supports gay marriage. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed TWO gay-marriage bills in California and eventually applauded the court that struck down Proposition 8. Barack Obama's viewe had to "evolve" for a few years before he supported marriage equality.
We have only a 10-year history of gay marriage anywhere in the world — the Netherlands being the first — and opinions in the U.S. about gays back then were much like those in some Third World countries today. That a politician in 1998 didn't think a gay man should serve as an ambassador does not mean he should be branded as a homophobe for life.
@MikeE: Might be nice if he actually, you know, apologized *to* James Hormel in person, rather than just to the public in general. But conservatives aren't known for their sincere apologies.
Well, he can always say he has learned that he is wrong and has evolved. It worked for Barack. Maybe he can promise to champion Gay marriage in Nebraska
A year later in 1999, Hagel told the New York Times when describing his enthusiastic support of Don't Ask, Don't Tell – the discriminatory policy that banned gays and lesbians from serving in the military:
"The armed forces aren't some social experiment."
While no Sec Def nominee will pass every test, LGB(T) service members should take pause and at least ask the question: Does Chuck Hagel have an aversion to my sexuality?
Over the years, he may have learned not to *vocalize* such comments, but I have serious doubts that he has miraculously changed inside. Unless he's gone through some serious life-changing event, he's the same butthead he was in 1998.
Hagel comes across as one of those people who gets caught out on something he said years back and then tries to go into damage control because the comment might affect his career prospects. It just seems like a very fake apology on his part right now. Has he actually apologized personally to Hormel?
The other thing I don't like about Hagel are his alleged comments about the armed forces not being a social experiment re DADT repeal. He most definitely does NOT come across as a friend of gay people and nor does he come across as someone who treats gay people as equals in America.
Wake up, it's the Israeli lobby, AIPAC among others, and their puppets in Congress, that are behind all this BS about something Hagel said 14 years ago about gays.Let's hope that President Obama doesn't pull the same wuss act he did with Rice. The Israelis tried to defeat Obama in NOvember and having failed,now they're trying to sabotage his second term.

Broadcast algorithms for wormhole--switched meshes have been widely reported in the literature. However, most of these
algorithms handle broadcast in a sequential manner and do not scale well with the network size. As a consequence, many parallel applications cannot be efficiently supported using existing algorithms. Motivated by these observations, this paper presents a new broadcast algorithm based on our previously proposed Coded Path Routing (or CPR for short) [I]. The main feature of the proposed algorithm lies in its ability to perform broadcast operations with a high degree of parallelism. Furthermore, its performance is insensitive to the network size, i.e., only two message-passing steps are required to implement a broadcast operation irrespective of the network size. Results from a comparative analysis reveal that the new algorithm exhibits superior performance characteristics over those of the well-known Recursive Doubling, Extending Dominating Node and Network
Partitioning algorithms.
