25. Rick Bragg's "Dateline Toe-Touch" - A New York Times writer gets gets caught cutting corners. By Jack Shafer
- slate.msn.com
- Rick Bragg's "Dateline Toe-Touch".
- Rick Bragg farms it out.
- An editor's note in today's New York Times gently chastises Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Rick Bragg for what would be a firing offense at many newspapers, especially in the post-Jayson Blair era. ... The byline credit went to Bragg, but that was wrong, the Times note explains. ... Bragg indeed visited Apalachicola briefly and wrote the article, the interviewing and reporting on the scene were done by a freelance journalist, J. ...
- But it's dishonest for a writer like Braggâ ”who prides himself in brushing literary lacquer to the down-home details he harvestsâ ”to publish under his byline sights, sounds, and scenes collected by somebody else. Bragg's offense undercuts both his reputation and the Times'. And it calls into question whether Bragg has availed himself of this shortcut methodology before.
- Yoder, who now works at Alabama's Anniston Star, says he worked during the summer of 2002 as an intern for Bragg on about 15 stories. Yoder says he received no pay, but Bragg covered his rent in a New Orleans sublet and covered hotel, gas, and meal expenses whenever Yoder worked on a story that required him to travel. ...
- Bragg visited briefly one night and interviewed none of them, says Yoder. ...
- But the rewrite guy never pretends to be at the scene of the story, as Bragg did, and most newspapers acknowledge at a story's close which correspondents collected news for the team effort. ...
- But nobody at the Times is pretending that that's what Bragg was up to with the Apalachicola article. It's unlikely (though possible) that such precise notes could have been written by Yoder, a December 2001 graduate of Auburn University, and transferred whole-cloth to Bragg. (If that were the case, Yoder would deserve the sole byline, if not Bragg's job. ) More plausibly, the well-traveled Bragg conjured the Apalachicolan scenes and moods based on the tyro's notes and on his knowledge of the area. ... Bragg did not respond to a phone message requesting an interview for this column. ...

- Fiber Bragg gratings.
- These lasers can serve as the optical source in fiber-Bragg-grating (FBG) sensing systems to provide faster, more accurate, and more sensitive systems. ...
- Multiple fiber Bragg gratings may be written at discrete distances (d) on a doped optical fiber by stripping away the protective coatings, using the interference patterns of ultaviolet beams, and recoating the fiber.
- The wavelength at which the reflectivity peaks, called the Bragg wavelength (lB), is expressed by lB = 2 nL. ...
- Because detectors are wavelength-insensitive, a tunable wavelength filter is required to scan the wavelength range of the FBG sensors, typically 40 nm, to determine the sensors’ Bragg wavelength. ...
- Two laser/detection systems that measure the wavelength shifts in fiber Bragg gratings resulting from strain, temperature, or pressure changes—the fiber laser (a) and the ECDL tunable laser (b).
