All Top Ten ListsSportsIce Hockey
Top 10 Most Popular NHL Teams
1 Boston Bruins The Boston Bruins are a professional ice hockey team based in Boston, Massachusetts. The Bruins compete in the National Hockey League as a member club of the league's Eastern Conference Atlantic Division.
Bruins traded skinny for muscles, they traded high tops for skates, they traded party's for games, they traded their social life for HOCKEY they will never ever trade HOCKEY for anything. It's as simple as this hockey and the Boston Bruins are thief life's.
We are just getting started if you look at the core players so we will be fighting for the top prize for years to come and hopefully we can be as successful as it appears.. Great loyalty, great team prestige and great history.. What more to ask for?
When ever I hear a Bruins chant in another teams building that all I need to know. Most recently in Washington!
Montreal, really! They have the best diving team in the NHL!
Go Bruins there just good. They have good history good players every year pretty much they have a good coach they're usually doing good they have won 6 stanly cups there just good!
2 Toronto Maple Leafs The Toronto Maple Leafs, officially the Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Club and often simply referred to as the Leafs, are a professional ice hockey team based in Toronto, Ontario. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference.
Despite the fact the Leafs haven't had a great team in a very long time, the fan base is probably the largest and most loyal in the NHL. With the Air Canada Centre sold out every night, along with the fact you basically have to inherit season tickets, there is no doubt the Leafs have one of the largest, if not the largest fan base in the entire NHL. The revenue from Leafs merchandise is also a serious indicator of the amount of fans. If you know NHL then you know the Leafs are one of if not the biggest teams in terms of fan base.
I think that they are a very popular team and have a great fan base. The fact that the fans cheer them on so well gives them an advantage when their home. I'm not saying their the Blue Jays because fans travel everywhere with them but the point is that in the future the fans and the team will go a long way.
Original 6 team. Hockey Hall of Fame is in Toronto. Love for the game can only be compared to a few other. Ticket prices are so much because of the demand to see them live. The day the leafs break the curse and win the Stanley Cup, You'll never see a party like it again in your life.
Leafs haven't been the greatest but best fan base. I'm not ignorant like these pens fans that say " we have Crosby, enough said " or " best duo Crosby and Malkin " because there not even on the same line laugh out loud. Tml have best fan base ever. No doubt. Every road game there's at least 35% Leafs fans!
3 Montreal Canadiens The Montreal Canadiens (French: Les Canadiens de Montréal) are a professional ice hockey team based in Montreal, Quebec. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference.
All this are just about opinions, but for me there is no others teams than Montreal Canadiens. When I saw at some games that the Canadiens is visitor, the crowd is making more noise when The Canadiens scored than the home team scored, I'm thinking that I'm not the only one is loving it.
Montreal Canadiens have always been my favourite team, I have been a follower since forever and am proud to say I saw them when they were only one of 6 and the thrill of watching them play in the MTL. Forum was something I shall never forget, they will always be number 1 with me.
They have always been my favourite team. They have had many classic players over the years Rocket Rechard, Roy, Lafleur etc. They have won the most cups over the years, 24 to be exact and I am really hoping they win one this year too. So GO HABS GO!
Visiting Teams Ownership - and the League - thrive in packed venues when the Habs come to town. They generate more visiting team revenue than any other team.
4 New York Rangers The New York Rangers are a professional ice hockey team based in New York City. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference. The team plays its home games at Madison Square Garden in the borough of Manhattan, an arena they share ...read more.
Everywhere I go in the US I always see Rangers fans wearing their colors. Can't say that for ANY other team in any sport except the Yankees. I used to see the "B" hats (Red Sox) everywhere (in the NorthEast) but as soon as I left the area, their fandom died with it. Today two kids at a trampoline place in NC approached me (I was wearing my Rangers T-shirt) to tell me how the Rangers rule. That is one of the many reasons Rangers fans are the best.
A team whos fans hold them accountable for their performance, yet always have their support. New York is a city of hard working people who expect results. Results don't always come in the form of a win, but when a team plays their heart out. This is what the fans love and why they rely on the Rangers to be their passion and obsession!
Why is this team on here there fans are not loyal at all and there team is a bunch of cry babies. I am from New York and I am saying this.
This is the best team in the NHL! We may not be playing good but still, Let's go Rangers!
5 Quebec Nordiques The Quebec Nordiques were a professional ice hockey team based in Quebec City, Quebec. The Nordiques played in the World Hockey Association and the National Hockey League. The franchise was relocated to Denver, Colorado in May 1995 and renamed the Colorado Avalanche.
Still one of the best-selling teams of the entire NHL, 21 years later. Rich history, still beloved by fans all over, the Nordiques will come back and you know it!
When a team gone since 21 years is more popular than some existing franchises, it certainly means something.
Bring back the old Montreal-Quebec confrontations. These games were among the best rivalries in sports.
More popular than half the current NHL teams and they have been gone 21 years. It says it all.
6 Pittsburgh Penguins The Pittsburgh Penguins (colloquially known as the Pens) are a professional ice hockey team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference. The Penguins are one of two NHL franchises in Pennsylvania, ...read more.
They are the face of the NHL when think of hockey star you think of Sidney Crosby. the average Joe who does not watch hockey does know who Sidney Crosby is. With the 2016 championship it is great for the game and league because they are so popular and they look like they could be the next Chicago Blackhawks. Modern day dynasty of the way for the Pens
Legendary owner willing to spend money, legendary captain willing to take less money, good overall talent, solid fan base support, creative gm, players still listening to coach (as of now), but the clock is ticking on the team's top talent on the wrong side of 30, window is closing in 3 years as younger teams continue to improve...
This is embarrassing. The penguins are number one. They've been here since 1972 only. Canadiens, Bruins, Rangers, Blackhawks, Red Wings and Maple Leafs have been here for way longer. There for they are more well known then Sid the kid and his team
Look at them now, Sid, Geno, with the most reliable defense in the entire Nhl. Can't wait for the playoffs. Oh I forgot to mention Fleury on his outstanding performance this season.
7 Detroit Red Wings The Detroit Red Wings are a professional ice hockey team based in Detroit, Michigan. They are members of the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League and are one of the Original Six teams of the league.
One of the greatest NHL teams of all time. Gordie Howe, Ted Lindsay, Sergei Fedorov, Henrik Zetterberg, Chris Osgood, Alex Delvecchio. What do they all have in common? They were not just great players, but they were all at one point in their career Red Wings that brought multiple Stanley Cups to Detroit. Aren't doing very well right now, but as I have shown with the players listed above, they have had a history of creating good rosters that mesh well together, and produce results.
Original 6. Most successful US based franchise with 11 cups and over 20 finals appearances. Revolutionized the pro game in the 90s with the Russian Five lineups. Slightly fallen off the last few years but still 22 consecutive playoff berths and counting.
At one time, many years ago, I enjoyed watching the Wings play. Not so much these days. It's also a shame that your city, which Inalso enjoyed visiting, has become...well... A toilet.
Sorry, it's true. I hope it gets better.
Red Wings suck! Okay as a Hawks fan I'm speaking my heart. But this team had a corrupt owner who owned the Hawks and used the Blackhawks as a team with all the bad players
8 Chicago Blackhawks The Chicago Blackhawks are a professional ice hockey team based in Chicago, Illinois. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League. They have won six Stanley Cup championships since their founding in 1926.
The Chicago Blackhawks are a team with a rich history. I grew up with this team from the 90s til 2011 when I stopped growing up and became an adult. This team with the six cups is not alone what makes them a well known team. They are actually a very symbolic team. Seriously go to OKC ask people what hockey teams they know about and of the teams said the most will be Blackhawks. A symbolic team with a great fan base(in 99-00) we were still selling out games. We did so in a declining number. We had the incredible White Sox or the Bulls while laughing at the Cubs.(I like the Sox and Cubs). We also have made many historical achievements on and off the ice, and this original six club was held back by a owner who uses Chicago as a bad player stock for the also owned Red Wings. Also the rivalries. We are the Blackhawks. This team will forever hold a place in my heart and every hockey fans, as haters are just confused admirers.
Where were all the Blackhawks fans prior to 2009? Silence-crickets chirping in the background. Check out the attendance -pre-2009. For 2007-Hawks 29th out of 30 in attendance, 2006-Hawks 29th out of 30 in attendance-pathetic-how do you spell fair-weather and bandwagon. Look up the numbers and weep...
Well they have won 3 stanley cups in 6 years and have been to the conference championship 5 in 7 years. Have the best captain in the game and one on the most dynamic player as well. They sell out the U.C all the time... You see the Indian sweater in every venue in the league...
The Blackhawks with their rich history and amzazing all time roster are amazing. I love this team as they are my team and no one can take that away from me know matter how bad my Hawks are. This team is great. We are winners of many cups. We are America's Team. Well for Hockey. Let's go Blackhawks!
9 Washington Capitals The Washington Capitals (colloquially known as the Caps) are a professional ice hockey team based in Washington, D.C. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference. The Capitals are owned by Monumental Sports & Entertainment, headed ...read more.
Caps fans are completely underrated. They pack the Verizon Center every game, and they show up to plenty of road games. Washington is one of the best hockey towns in this country, and I don't care what anyone says. LET'S GO CAPS!
The Capitals are my life, my bedroom won the Capitals decorating contest (3rd place I believe) and Verizon center had over 117 consecutive sellouts which is an NHL RECORD! And Crosby sucks by the way
I live in Virginia and the ONLY (repeat: ONLY) NHL teams that people like here are the Penguins and the Caps. And there are 10 or 20 Caps fans for every Penguins fan. GO CAPS!
I have loved the capitals ever since I was 4! My favourite player is Ovechkin because how can you not like him! My point is that the caps are the best and no one can tell me any different. WooHoo Go CAPS! #RocktheRed
10 Winnipeg Jets The Winnipeg Jets are a professional ice hockey team based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
Wow... They should be in the top ten no doubt. Jets fans are some of the best I'm aware of. From a die-hard New York Rangers fan.
Seems only the Finnipegers really like this climate but all the players seem to buy into the team effort.
This should be WAY higher then 25th. Winnipeg has got to be in the top ten.
People say Mts center is small, that's the thing the smallest and the loudest.
11 San Jose Sharks The San Jose Sharks are a professional ice hockey team based in San Jose, California. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
You think, how the heck does Northern California get an NHL team? They had one back in the 70s with the California Seals, but that went about as well as hockey in Atlanta. Fast forward to the early 90s and Gordon Gund, the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers decides to put a team in the southern Bay Area. The next thing you know, the San Jose Sharks are filling the Shark Tank night after night. Sure the first few years weren't that great, but that's what you get with an expansion team. Next thing you know, they made the playoffs 10 straight years thatonly rivals the Detroit Red Wings. Sure they have a reputation as a playoff choke, but there's no denying the fan base is rabid for a Stanley Cup. Add to the fact that they have a pretty good three-way rivalry with the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks, and you'll be hard-pressed to find a great team like the San Jose Sharks.
The San Jose Sharks has the most electrifying fan base! It gets incredibly loud at the shark tank and there all rooting for team that went to the playoffs in 10 consecutive seasons! One of the best hockey teams of all time with great rivalries. Go Sharks!
Sharks have been around for 25 years and have accomplished more than some teams that have been around longer. Definitely one of the best teams in the NHL.
This team is amazing. One of my favorite teams
12 Los Angeles Kings The Los Angeles Kings are a professional ice hockey team based in Los Angeles, California. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
A blue collar team that actually draws hard core blue collar fans, yes, they do exist in Southern California, and this is the team that they support. The only team that never wants, especially the fans, any support from Hollywood. It's the same 18,000 plus night after night, dressed in black, and they show up if the visiting team is Ottawa, Florida or Carolina. Does not matter if the Kings have lost 10 in a row, they still pack them in. The reason, because this is the hardest working team in the NHL, the team that never quits playing, and hits like the old Bruins of 40 years ago. The only Northeast team that plays in the west. They've captured fans around the country that appreciate old school hockey. If you like defense and hard work, this is your team.
The Kings, as the lone western team, should be higher up. Not only have they sold out every game since 2012, this team is responsible for every sun belt city in the NHL even having a team, and they have fans around the country, unlike any other sun belt team. Pittsburgh, was ready to move, until they got good again but once they start losing, they'll start hearing the rumors of moving, again. Why not send Florida to Quebec, and you solve two problems at once. A) you get Quebec a team again and B) you get rid of a market that could care less about hockey...
Thankfully the Kings are in the top 10, AS THEY SHOULD BE! 5 straight years of sellouts, one of the top sellers of merchandise and number one on Social Media. All this and they play in a market that has the Lakers. Great to see the Kings getting the recognition they deserve. Plus they have started acquiring fans outside LA due to their blue collar play and defensive minded hockey, something sorely lacking from most of the league which now emphasizes offense...
This is the one and only team west of the Mississippi that should be on this list. At least their fans show up win or lose, and it's been mostly losing again this year. Yet they still sell out every game. Pretty impressive for a warm weather team.
13 Calgary Flames The Calgary Flames are a professional ice hockey team based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The Flames are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
A team whos fans hold them accountable for their performance, yet always have their support.Calgary is a city of hard working people who expect results. Results don't always come in the form of a win, but when a team plays their heart out. This is what the fans love and why they rely on the Flames to be their passion and obsession!
Even though the aren't doing great this season, Calgary is arguably one of the most fan supported teams in the NHL. The hockey world is huge in Calgary, and the flames definitely should be in the top 3 in this list. Go flames go!
We are just getting started if you look at the core players so we will be fighting for the top prize for years to come and hopefully we can be as successful as it appears.. Great loyalty, great team prestige and great history.. What more to ask for? Go Flames Go! YEEAHHH BABY!
They're doing good, not as great as last season, but it's just the start. And Calgary is only a city with just over a million people, less than many others... even though a lot more than Vancouver... and most other hockey fans don't see them relevant but #nevergiveup
14 Columbus Blue Jackets The Columbus Blue Jackets are a professional ice hockey team based in Columbus, Ohio. They are members of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League. The Blue Jackets were founded as an expansion team in 2000.
Most don't know them since their new and in the building stage, but with that recent 15-game win streak, their gettin gmore popular.
Best team in the world
15 Ottawa Senators The Ottawa Senators (French: Sénateurs d'Ottawa) are a professional ice hockey team based in Ottawa, Ontario. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. The Senators play their home games at the 18,652-seat Canadian Tire Centre, ...read more.
Go Sens Go! Love the senators so much! I am the biggest senators fan there is!
Ottawa Senators is the best team in the NHL.
They try hard despite the drama.
They are a good team.
16 Tampa Bay Lightning The Tampa Bay Lightning are a professional ice hockey team based in Tampa, Florida. It is a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League. The Lightning have three Stanley Cup championships in their history, in 2003-04, 2019-20, and 2020-21.
Phony fan base, average fan knows nothing about hockey, arena filled with fans of other teams. I attended a playoff game against the Pens the year the Bruins won the cup, and the Pittsburgh fans were way louder than the Tampa "fans". This team should move to Quebec where they will be appreciated.
This is truly a front-running fan base...saw a game there against the Pens in the playoffs back in 2010-and Pens fans were way louder.
Sure they may be underdogs, a young team, and not "The Best", but the fans believe in them, and that's what counts.
Please whatever you do don't put teams from the southern united states on here. put most of the teams that are from canada. or at least minnesota or colorado. I hate is how florida has 2 teams california 3 while up in the northern states and canada B.C has only 1 minnesota has only 1 and colorado only 1. gary bettman burn in hell.
17 Vancouver Canucks The Vancouver Canucks are an ice hockey team based in Vancouver, British Columbia. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
Haven't won a Stanley Cup, but have had some amazing players wear their logo. Pavel Bure, Trevor Linden, Henrik and Daniel Sedin, Roberto Luongo. Have a solid roster full of great young talent, such as Elias Pettersson, Bo Horvat, Quinn Hughes, Thatcher Demko, and Brock Boeser. Came close in 1994 and 2011 to winning a Stanley Cup, as well as 1982, but with this young team, there is a chance to produce a cup-winning team that will finally bring Lord Stanley to Vancouver.
They boast the support of an immensely passionate fanbase, as evidenced by the numerous Canucks jerseys visible during their road games. They've also have consistently been in the standings' upper tier for the last several reasons; all that remains is for them to at last claim the Stanley Cup.
The level to which these guys participate in and give back to their community is unparalleled. Few if any teams in any sport place the community demands on their players that the Canucks do. Classy organization.
400+ game sellout streak, longest in the NHL and 9th longest all time (in all 4 major North American Sports Leagues).
Probably the most well-supported NHL team, save for maybe the habs.
18 Buffalo Sabres The Buffalo Sabres are a professional ice hockey team based in Buffalo, New York. They are members of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Typical Boston fan can't spell haha but you see lots of fans at road games. Right now I'm watching them at Nashville and there is mostly sabres fans if you watch them at the panthers you see more sabres fans.
In Sweden we mostly like Buffalo Sabres. They have a certain style that that other teams struggle to copy. Don't know how 98% of the voters failed to notice that...
I'm shocked they are so low on this list! I live in SC and have met buffalo fans here (not many but you can find them). Get NHL center ice every year so I won't miss a game. Can't wait to make the trip for a home game soon!
Amazing comeback in '10-'11. First half of the season they were 18-18-5. They finished like I dunno 43-30-9 or whatever. Made 7th seed and almost beat flyers in round 1. Lost only 4 games to 3.
19 St. Louis Blues The St. Louis Blues are a professional ice hockey team in St. Louis, Missouri. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
I've traveled extensively, and I find that what hockey means to St. Louis is somthing most markets can not understand. Not just their beloved Blues, but the ever growing youth programs there. Save for maybe Detroit and parts of the northeast you really see nothing else like it south of the boarder.
For a city that has never seen the Cup. The fans in the region could not be more enthusiastic for their team. Some places, such as Winnipeg, Portland(whl), St. Louis, just don't don't get the respect they've earned as great hockey markets.
p.s. Nashville is still new to the sport, but is well on the way to becoming a solid market.
I am a blues fan and I believe that the fans will alway be there clapping,screaming and yelling LETS GO BLUES. and how much they changed evan if we lost that game we will be proud of the players. if I was a hl team I would count to be the blue because are light will never die. I believe that the blues fans are the best
Blues have a cool stadium. My other favorite teams on NHL is Florida Panthers and Arizona Coyotes
Why don't we sell out? What gives?
20 Dallas Stars The Dallas Stars are a professional ice hockey team based in Dallas, Texas. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
Hockey is not their game for crying out loud. Dallas is not for hockey. Hockey is for canada not those stars panthers lightning if their was a list of most embarrasing nhl teams panthers or lightning would make it in #1 spot. Stars would either be #1 #2 or #3. Why are their dallas florida anaheim san jose los angeles and maybe more. Their are as much if not more nhl teams in the southern united states than in all of canada. Their are reasons you should only focus on canada's teams and quit ignoring them. Here are my reasons why canadian teams should only be focused on.
#1 It was invented in canada.
#2 a canadian team has not won since 1993.
#3 Montreal was the only canadian team to make it to the playoffs in like maybe 2014-15.
#4 no canadian teams made the playoffs this year.
#5 their are more teams in the southern united states than in all of canada.
#6 Gary Bettman keeps on disrespecting them.
#7 If it were not for montreal the nhl would not exist. It was ...more
Who ever thinks the stars should be number one is an ass and is either brainwahed or just trolling. they don't deserve to be #1 they deserve to be very last or just not put on the list. it has been 1993 since the cup came to canada and the last time the cup went to the sates was last year.
Hockey in Dallas is great! Awesome fans!
My second favorite team! Go Stars!
21 Edmonton Oilers The Edmonton Oilers are a professional ice hockey team based in Edmonton, Alberta. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
Happy this is above the stupid kings. I will always love this team no matter how bad or how good they are. I don't care if they are the worst or second worst I will always have faith in this team.
A new and fresh vision from non-alumni should be able to put the on ice talent to good use. Acquiring a strong defensive guard could see the Oilers return to the glory days of the 80's.
This team is my local team. They have had Wayne Gretsky in the past and with their several prospects, they are almost guarunteed to begin their glory days once again, especially after the addition of Connor McDavid. They have a great team.
The edmonton oilers of the 80's are one of the greatest dynasties in the nhl. Since they drafted Connor Mcdavid they will be headed back to the top!
22 New Jersey Devils The New Jersey Devils are a professional ice hockey team based in Newark, New Jersey. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference. The club was founded as the Kansas City Scouts in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1974. The Scouts moved to Denver, Colorado in 1976 and became the Colorado Rockies. In 1982, they moved to East Rutherford, New Jersey and took their current name. For their first 25 seasons in New Jersey, the Devils were based at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford and played their home games at Brendan Byrne Arena (later renamed to Continental Airlines Arena). Before the 2007–08 season, the Devils moved ...read more.
They should move to Quebec, not close to the most popular team in their own state. Good franchise that nobody cares about. Won 3 Stanley Cups and had their celebration in the back of a parking lot
Everybody loves the New Jersey devils in New Jersey. Big rivalry with the New York islanders and rangers
Best logo in the NHL and easily the most underrated franchise.
By far one of the most underrated teams in the NHL.
23 Nashville Predators The Nashville Predators are a professional ice hockey team based in Nashville, Tennessee. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
Young but expending market, great job from the front-office, some of the best players on the ice and a lot of noise in the arena during the playoffs: Let's go PREDATORS!
Why does Nashville have a team? No one in TN knows a thing about hockey. Move this team to a city that cares, like Hamilton!
But price is first haha
Best team ever made
24 Philadelphia Flyers The Philadelphia Flyers are a professional ice hockey team based in Philadelphia. They are members of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League.
Go Flyers! We actually like our team (Unlike some people. I'm talking to you Arizona and Florida.). Anyone who likes the Penguins or the Rangers, no. Your teams are bad to us. You may be good at hockey, but we still don't like you. Flyers bleed orange and black, and as long as your a fan, your part of the family. When I go to Flyers games, people are always nice to me. And one things for sure: most of us are NOT nuts. Also, we should be #1. Put on any game where the Flyers are playing in a different city (not Philly, because there everywhere! ) and you will see orange and black jerseys sporting our logo. Bye, fellow Flyers fans, and bye, other guys!
This list is a joke. Every time the flyers are playing on the road the opposing arena has a lot of people in orange rooting for the flyers. So the flyers being number 23 is just ridiculous.
Remember that playoff game between Washington and Philadelphia where everyone threw bracelets on the ice and the fans got the Flyers a 2-minute penalty? Yeah. Not the best fans.
Even though I'm a New Jersey fan, I still think that Flyers being 23rd is horrible. I mean Philadelphia has won 2 Stanley Cups, yet I still see a team or two above that only won one.
25 Carolina Hurricanes The Carolina Hurricanes are a professional ice hockey team based in Raleigh, North Carolina. They are members of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League.
We love the caneS!

Q: "Apache HTTP Service has stopped working" with WP Query in WordPress 2.9.2 When my script runs the 4th line below in WP 2.9.2, its causing my web app to throw an "Apache HTTP Service has stopped working" error
$cat=get_cat_ID('top-menu');
$catHidden=get_cat_ID('hidden');
$myqueryCurrent = new WP_Query();
$myqueryCurrent->query(array('cat'=>"$cat,-$catHidden",'post__not_in'=>get_option('sticky_posts')));

Do you see something in that 4th line that's incompatible with WP 2.9.2? The code runs fine on the same server under WP 3.0.4
Here's the details of the error:
Problem signature:
  Problem Event Name:   APPCRASH
  Application Name: httpd.exe
  Application Version:  2.2.14.0
  Application Timestamp:    4aeb9704
  Fault Module Name:    php5ts.dll
  Fault Module Version: 5.3.1.0

A: Realise this old now, but this may help people finding this via Google:
I had problems with Apache dying when running similar code within a function called by the pre_get_posts hook. Problem was I missed the conditional:
$query->is_main_query()

meaning it was doing work for all the queries, not just the main one. Adding that fixed the problem for me. The full conditional I use is (then other code above below that:
if ( ! is_category() || ! $query->is_main_query() || ! is_a( $query, 'WP_Query' ) )
    return;

A: Executing the code you posted results in a crash inside the PHP module. I assume you're running PHP as module inside apache on windows, if the module crashes, apache crashes as well.
Ensure that you're using the right PHP modules here. Are you sure you need the Thread-Safe variant of PHP for apache? Those are reported to not run stable under windows IIRC.
So this might not be related to the wordpress version but to the server configuration.
Hope this answer helps a bit tackling things down.

Ambitious coordinated action at strategic, local and individual levels is needed to ensure that everyone, irrespective of where they live or their background, is socially included and those experiencing poverty can access support to exit it. Paid employment and the pathways to it are recognised to be the primary route to achieving this.
There is a need to tackle unemployment, reduce the number of residents who are economically inactive and open up routes to employment for those not currently in work. Too many individuals and families in D2N2 continue to face disadvantage. Action is needed to ensure that every individual and family that is socially included and can access support to help them out of poverty. The need for lifelong learning is more evident now than ever before. People no longer have jobs for life with many people changing career as well as employers during their working life.
Develop sector growth agreements to make explicit ownership and shared responsibilities for investment, ICT, labour market intelligence and impact measures.
Improve business leadership, management skills and training needs analysis to help increase productivity and performance.
Promote and develop apprenticeships and traineeships to achieve higher level skills and improve social mobility.
Foster enterprise and the characteristics of entrepreneurial behaviour, career adaptability and resilience.
Raise the visibility of and access to career insights and specialist careers support for young people and adults to raise aspirations, participation, retention and achievement in learning and work.
The D2N2 is the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) for Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
Local Enterprise Partnerships are locally owned partnerships between local authorities and businesses. They play a central role in deciding local economic priorities and undertaking activities to drive economic growth and create local jobs.
D2N2 is one of the largest LEPs in England covering an area with a population of over 2 million people and economic output of over £36 billion.
Our vision is to make our area one of the strongest and most resilient economic regions in the UK.
D2N2 has a clear vision and strategy in place to guide its work in boosting the local economy. For further infomation regarding D2N2's strategic priorities and areas of ecomonic focus please visit our Strategy page.
D2N2 is lead by and governed by its board, made up of high profile and respected business leaders from across the D2N2 area.
Responding to our proposal, Government approved the formation of D2N2 LEP on 28th October 2010. The D2N2 Board first met on 17th December 2010.
Information regarding the role of LEP's, its activities and additional aspects such as the £1.4bn Regional Growth Fund are covered in the White Paper.
The N2 Skills and Employment Board has been established to provide private sector leadership on the employment and skills priorities for N2.
The N2 Skills and Employment Board has strategic responsibility for making sure the skills and employment support landscape across N2 best supports business growth and job creation.
The overall remit of the N2 Skills and Employment Board is to work across partners, commissioners and providers to ensure that skills in the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire labour market match the current and future needs of employers.
To support growth and enhance productivity across N2, we need to ensure individuals entering the labour market have the skills that are needed by our local businesses and that they continue to develop skills to enable them to progress. We must have clear strategies in place to ensure that people who experience high levels of disadvantage are able to benefit from the job opportunities that are created by our wider economic growth activity.
Create and grow the highly skilled workforce required to support the economy now and in the future, while significantly reducing overall worklessness.
1.Making the skills and employment support landscape simpler and more accessible for employers and individuals.
2.Developing an early years to employment approach which ensures that young people in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire are prepared for the world of work and the future needs of our economy.
3.Re-engaging unemployed and disengaged people through pathways that prepare and reintroduce them to the labour market.
4.Ensuring the local workforce develops the higher level skills needed to increase business productivity and competitiveness whilst enabling individuals to fulfil their potential.
The N2 Skills and Employment Board is jointly accountable to the D2N2 LEP Skills and Employment Commissionand the N2 Economic Prosperity Committee.
D2 Skills and Employment (SEB) is Derby and Derbyshire's leading voice for improving employment and skills opportunities.
Led by local employers, we are working to make sure people in Derby and Derbyshire have the right skills to match the needs of local employers, both now and in the future.
Around the same table we have business leaders, funding bodies, local politicians and training providers. We're part of the D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership, or LEP, Skills and Employment Commission.

Maurice Turnbull
Maurice Joseph Lawson Turnbull (16 March 1906 – 5 August 1944) was a Welsh cricketer who played in nine Tests for England from 1930 to 1936.
A talented all round sportsman, Turnbull excelled in several sports. In cricket he captained the Cambridge University team in his final year of college and captained the Glamorgan County Cricket Club for ten seasons. In rugby union he represented Cardiff and London Welsh and gained two full international caps for Wales in 1933. Turnbull also represented Wales at field hockey and was squash champion for South Wales. He is the only person to have played cricket for England and rugby for Wales.
Headstone of Maurice Turnbull. Bayeux CWGC Cemetery.
Turnbull was born in Cardiff in 1906 into a large sporting family. His father, Philip, was a Welsh international hockey player, winning a bronze medal with the Welsh team at the 1908 Olympics, and six of his eight sons, including Maurice, played for Cardiff Rugby Club. Turnbull was educated at Downside School near Bath; and the school still has a bar named after him for the use of sixth formers. From Downside he went to Cambridge University and continued his connection with sport by winning sporting Blues in both cricket and hockey.
On the 7 September 1939 he married Elizabeth Brooke, only daughter of William Brooke of Scunthorpe. They had three children: Sara, Simon and Georgina.
As a major in the First Battalion of the Welsh Guards he was killed instantly by a sniper's bullet during intense fighting for the French village of Montchamp after the Normandy landings in 1944. His body was recovered from the battlefield by one of his men, Sergeant Fred Llewellyn, and his personal possessions were sent home to his family.
Cricket Career
Christopher Martin-Jenkins reported that to Turnbull batting was an adventure. He was a gifted right-hander who made runs when they were wanted and whose value could not always be assessed on figures. Initially as an on-side player, he developed all the recognised strokes and added some of his own, and he was also a fine short-leg fielder. Always associated in the public minds with Glamorgan, he first appeared for them as a schoolboy in 1924. He captained Cambridge in 1929 and Glamorgan from 1930 until 1939. He passed 1000 runs in a season ten times and three times hit double-centuries, the highest being 233 against Worcestershire at Swansea in 1937, a season in which Glamorgan finished higher than ever before thanks to his bold leadership and devoted example. He toured Australia in 1929-30 and South Africa in 1930-31, and represented England against the West Indies and India at home.
Turnbull wrote two cricketing books with fellow international Maurice Allom, The Book of Two Maurices (1930) and The Two Maurices Again (1931). The books gave accounts of their cricket tours to New Zealand and South Africa respectively.
His leadership transformed Glamorgan. Writing in Wisden in 1978, Basil Easterbrook said:
Not the least of Turnbull's achievements was that he was the first man to justify Glamorgan's elevation to first-class status in 1921. By 1929 they had already had the wooden spoon three times under no fewer than seven leaders. When Turnbull took over they were indeed a bedraggled flock without a shepherd. Turnbull linked Monmouthshire with Glamorgan, ran a Minor Counties side, improved the membership and by 1937 the improvement had advanced to a point where Glamorgan won 13 matches and finished seventh, in the top half of the Championship for the first time.

Turnbull was an eager sportsman as a youth, and played rugby for Downside School. He matriculated to Cambridge, and at university joined not only the cricket team, but also Cambridge University Rugby Club. One of the earliest rugby clubs he represented was St. Peters in Cardiff. His elder brother, Bernard Turnbull had already represented Wales by this time, and had also played club rugby for St. Peters. During the 1931-32 season, Turnbull played his first senior game for Cardiff, mainly playing at scrum-half, and by 1932 he was representing rugby at county level, playing for Glamorgan.
Turnbull was first selected to play for Wales in the opening match of the 1933 Home Nations Championship, played away to England. Turnbull was one of seven new caps brought into the Welsh team, under the captaincy of Watcyn Thomas, and was paired at half-back with Cardiff and London Welsh regular Harry Bowcott. The game ended in a narrow 7-3 win for Wales, with Ronnie Boon scoring all the Welsh points which finally laid the 'Twickenham bogey', ten losses in ten visits, to rest.
The Welsh selectors responded by selecting all 15 players to play the second game of the tournament against Scotland; but several late withdrawals forced the selectors to make last minute changes. Turnbull himself was forced to withdraw because of injury, which saw Bowcott also stand down to allow the introduction of the Swansea half-back pairing of Morris and Evans to take their place. Wales were easily beaten. In the final game of the Championship, Turnbull was declared fit and he and Bowcott returned to the squad. The build-up to the game was over-shadowed by poor player conduct on the boat to Belfast, and then captain Thomas reshuffled some of the player positions against the wishes of the Welsh Rugby Union, during the game. The Irish won 10-5, and the WRU reacted by discarding eleven of the team for the next season. Turnbull was one of the players who never played international rugby for Wales again.

No better way to explore a city than by meeting its inhabitants. This interview with Lisa Jane Cappannini is the first one of a series of articles with Siena tips and insight by people who live here or who have a special connection to the city of the Palio.
Are you from Siena? Or when did you fall in love with Siena?
I was born in England but at the age of 2 my parents moved to Siena, which is where my father is from. I grew up and went to school in Siena and I lived there till I was 24. My parents still live in the same house inside the historical centre, while I live in Montalcino, 50 minutes south of Siena.
the Duomo, the cathedral, which is not just beautiful from the outside, it's also so rich inside. The marble floors are unique in the entire world, and if you happen to visit the Duomo between mid August and mid October, you'll be lucky enough to see the floors completely uncovered. From this year, you can also visit the upper part of the cathedral, which has just been restored and opened to the public. Be prepared for some unforgettable, spectacular views.
Speaking of views, if you are not afraid of heights, don't miss to climb to the top of what should have been the façade of the 'new' Duomo (il Facciatone entrance via the Opa museum) or the top of la Torre del Mangia, the town hall tower.
If you decide to go up il Facciatone, you should still visit Palazzo Pubblico, the town hall in magnificent piazza del Campo, one of the most beautiful squares in the world. This is where, twice a year, the famous horse race called il Palio is held. The square lies in the middle of the three hills on which Siena was built.
Your favorite panorama view of Siena or photo opportunitty in town?
My favorite photo opportunity is just below the church of San Domenico, from there you get a wonderful perspective of the town. My advice is to go there around lunch time, as there are some nice restaurants and pizzerias where you can grab something to eat while enjoying this beautiful view.
Any shopping secrets in Siena?
Every Wednesday there's a huge market held below the fortress where you can find everything, including some real bargains: clothes, shoes, linen, crafts, food, plants, etc.
Your favorite museum or work of art in Siena?
The museum of Santa Maria della Scala is pretty amazing, but I would only recommend to visit it with a professional guide, otherwise you would loose the meaning of this historical place. Same thing about the Biccherne museum, which is a very unique, fascinating and quite unknown museum, which contains the history of Siena since the Middle Ages. In case you are willing to know more about Siena and spend three or more memorable hours with a professional guide, there are two persons I highly recommend: Antonella Piredda and Ilaria Bichi Ruspoli.
Are you a Palio lover? If so, any tips on how to best join the crowd?
I wouldn't say that I'm a Palio lover, because the Palio brings out a lot of more and complicated feelings than just simple love… let's say that the Palio is in my blood. The Palio goes down deep in the roots of this town. It brings out the character of the Sienese, which are very territorial, passionate, proud and… a bit crazy!
To join the crowd, come for the entire four days. On the first day every contrada is given a horse, and it's a very exciting moment. Go to see the drawing in the Campo square and choose a contrada (neighborhood) to follow back to their territory (it would be best a contrada which is not too big). Go back there in the late afternoon. There's always a bar where they all meet, ask for something to drink and see if you can find someone who speaks English. Ask them if you can come back for dinner after the trial. There's a trial every morning and every evening till the actual race, and after every evening trial there's a meal in every contrada. Join them and get into the atmosphere.
Are you a supporter of a particular contrada (neighborhood) in Siena?
Oh yes, I'm from la Lupa, the she-wolf. La Lupa is where my father was born and where he grew up. As I said I was born in England, but when that happened, a flag of la Lupa was placed outside the church of la Lupa with a pink bow. This always happens in Siena when a new child is born. When my mum and dad brought me to Siena for the first time, I was immediately baptized. A contrada is like a large family and we belong to it.
Something we may not know about Siena?
Did you know that underneath Siena there are many water collecting tunnels called bottini, which were built during the Middle Ages? The Medici didn't know and when they besieged Siena they expected the Sienese to surrender in a very short time, as they supposed there was no water as the town lies uphill. There are many beautiful fountains in Siena, the major one is of course the one in the Campo square, Fonte Gaia, which means joy, from the joy of the people when the water first arrived in town.
What about the people from Palio town? Three words to describe the idiosyncrasies of the Tuscan inhabitants of Siena.
Any tips on how to see Siena without the tourists?
Not easy unless you come in winter! If you are visiting during the high season, from April to end of October, then the best time to enjoy Siena is in the evening, when there are less tourists around. It is also my favorite time to come back to Siena, not mentioning the fact that in summer, during the day, it can be very hot. In the evening you can get more of the authentic medieval atmosphere, just by strolling through the small alleyways. Never forget to look up, as you may see some wonderful frescoes through open windows.
A day out of town: where would you take people in the surrounding countryside?
To Montalcino of course, where I live now, to escape from the crowds and enjoy a nice glass of Brunello wine in total relax!
A must-have souvenir from Siena or Tuscany?
A bottle of wine! Once home, it will bring back all the wonderful memories of this beautiful region.
Any advice for a great hotel or B&B in or around Siena?
My best recommendation in Siena is certainly Palazzo Ravizza, a historic and beautifully restored pension with a wonderful atmosphere. There's a nice Italian style garden where you can enjoy breakfast or escape from the crowds, and a private car park, two real bonuses inside the city walls.
Your favorite season, month or time of the day in Siena?
As I said my favorite time of the day in Siena is the evening. Regarding the seasons, definitely either spring or autumn.
A don't miss event or festival in Siena?
Kids in Siena: Where to let them loose?
Inside the fortress, they can play safely and you can enjoy another nice view of Siena and the surroundings.
If not here, where? What other place in the world could be your home if you weren't living in Tuscany?
If I could in winter I'd move to Sicily, another wonderful region, full of traditions, extremely passionate and with gorgeous food!
Lisa Jane Cappannini, was born in Nottingham in 1974 but raised in Siena. Her parents met while working in a hotel in Cornwall in 1969. In 1994, after finishing school, she went to work in the same hotel, and since then has worked in some fine hotels including the Palazzo Ravizza in Siena, Dievole in the Chianti region and La Locanda dell'Amorosa in Sinalunga. Her father was a chef and a sommelier and when she was a child her parents had a restaurant in Siena. She was brought up with good food and good wine sitting on the table.
Lisa Jane moved to Montalcino in 2006 to learn more about the wine world, and worked for some fine estates like Poggio Antico, Mastrojanni and Biondi Santi. She always wanted to live in the countryside, and despite her love for Siena, the town always felt too tight for her. Her passion for wine grew stronger, she made many friends and Montalcino became the place to be.
Four years ago she was given the opportunity to manage SUITE D'ARTISTA, a property with 5 recently restored apartments all overlooking a beautiful panoramic garden inside Montalcino's historic town center. This was her dream come true.

A 13-year-old seventh grader from Bethesda Christian School in Fort Worth made history at the Scripps National Spelling Bee on May 29. Ansun Sujoe, along with 14-year-old Sriram Hathwar from Painted Post, New York, were the first co-champions since 1962.
Sujoe and Hathwar ended up sharing the championship after exhausting the word list. Only two words were left in the championship round, leaving them without enough for one final championship word.
Sujoe forced the co-championship by correctly spelling "feuilleton," a French word meaning "a part of a European newspaper or magazine devoted to material designed to entertain the general reader." He showed tremendous grace under pressure, as Hathwar was placed right behind him on stage during his final round.
Hathmar had no trouble with his final word, "stichomythia," which means "dialogue especially of altercation or dispute delivered in alternating lines (as in a classical Greek drama)."
The two boys were stellar throughout the competition; they hardly hesitated in spelling any of the ridiculously difficult words. The only hiccup for both came in the same round with 16 words remaining. Sujoe misspelled "antigropelos" (substituting "o" for "e"), and Hathmar missed "corpsbruder," spelling it "korbruiter" instead.
Sujoe is the first Dallas-Fort Worth area champion since Sai Gunturi won the bee in 2003, and only the fourth area champion in the bee's 89-year history.
Sujoe and Hathmar will share the prize money for first and second place, giving each $22,250, along with other prizes. Naturally, both say that money is going straight to their college funds.

So basically, you can hold a seat at as many schools you want until school starts. I mean, if you send in all of the deposits ($$$$). So there is no cut off as to when you have to choose one school, right?
Schools began to exchange names of students who are currently placing multiple deposits/holding multiple seats I believe May 1? or the first week of May.. they have the right to revoke their acceptances if you don't withdraw from all but one spot by a certain deadline. I know some schools take a big offense of that.
f) Applicants holding positions at multiple institutions. Dental schools participating in AADSAS will report to AADSAS by May 1, the names and identification numbers of candidates who have paid a deposit and/or hold a position in their entering class. After May 5, AADSAS will report to each institution the names of candidates in their entering class who are holding acceptance(s) at additional institutions. Dental schools will have the option of rescinding an offer of admission to candidates who have paid deposits and are holding positions at multiple institutions. Dental schools with candidates holding multiple positions on May 1of the year of admission will give such candidates a minimum 15-day notice if they choose to withdraw them from the entering class. This policy will be evaluated every two years by the ADEA Section of Dental School Admissions Officers to assess its impact on applicants and dental schools and provide applicants a reasonable time-frame to complete their enrollment process.
This is obviously a lame attempt at sparking some sdn-war. Snaggleass was all over the "drop dead date" thread and is perfectly familiar with the process. This might very well be an attempt at recieving attention for a comment that does little more but insight applicant's emotions over a topic that most all of us dwell on.
ok assdrift, nice name throwing, for your information, this was the first time someone gave the correct information. i say we disregard you an allocate you as an op-basher. so there.
i just got back from looking over some posts previously made by this person. you do the same and let me know what you think. rude and obnoxious. drift, there was no reason for you to bash me like that. this is an open forum as you well know. you are probably holding seats at harvard, penn, columbia and your state school. fine for you, i do certainly understand your (or anyone's) reason for holding multiple seats, i dont care. i just simply asked what were the the reality of how long you can hold more than one seat at a school. bottom line, I WANT TO GET IN THIS CYCLE!
1. the very quote in this thread that you claim answered your quetion was posted in the "drop dead dates" thread which you posted on several times.
2. if you really did read any of my previous posts you would have noticed that i am completely against having multiple deposits.
3. i am curious as to what you mean when you say "i do the same". because i certainly do not start pointless threads that have been discussed to death.
4. if you really didn't know about May 1st before this thread then it leads me to wonder what in the world is going on upstairs.
4. if you really didn't know about May 1st before this thread then it leads me to wonder how in the world what is going on upstairs.
I guess I could have expected this turning into an argument with a 5 year old from the naive manner in which this thread began. I'll make it simple.....by the end of May there shouldn't be anyone left holding onto multiple deposits.
the thread would have been finished and conversation closed long ago had you not insulted me. "snaggleass" thats a 5 year old mentality and i have stooped to your level. done.
Any idea about which schools those are?

The Campaign for Riverside High School
Riverside High School is a community of scholars that advances timeless ideas and content, builds a culture of respect and trust and engages in an urban environment in order to prepare students to be world-class citizens.
Riverside High School is founded on the belief that a classical, liberal arts education, where students are steeped in great historical thought and invention, is the best preparation for a future life of leadership and service.
Riverside High School's curriculum is structured around an art history timeline which emphasizes the classic art and literature of many cultures. Presented through the lens of science, mathematics, and humanities, this unique approach to the organization of knowledge provides a means to integrate subjects, and leads students on a journey through the earliest human history right up to modern examples of human creativity.
Riverside High School's classical methodology relies on Socratic dialogue and the classical model of education called the Trivium as its academic corner stone. The three phases of the Trivium include:
Grammar – In this phase students acquire fundamental knowledge in all disciplines.
Logic– As students become world-class citizens, they learn how to reason and debate. Students apply their knowledge as they discern and evaluate, compare and contrast, and discover cause and effect relationships in any given subject.
Rhetoric – As students progress through the Trivium, they learn to apply the rules of logic to the information they have acquired. Students learn to think rationally and articulate ideas effectively.

\section{Introduction}

Exact solution to driven quantum systems with time-dependent external fields
has long been a subject of particular interest in the field of quantum
mechanics \cite{qbook1,book1}. The motivation of the study comes not only
from the fundamental interest about the solvability of the driven quantum
system itself, but also from the nontrivial aspect of the dynamics that may
be generated through an explicitly time-dependent Hamiltonian. For example,
the cyclic adiabatic evolution of a time-dependent quantum system may induce
a geometric phase, the so-called Berry phase \cite{berry,simon}, which
indicates an intriguing connection between quantum physics and the gauge field
theory. Berry phase has been demonstrated to play important roles in various
areas of physics, e.g., in exploring the property of electrons
in crystals \cite{electron1,electron2} and in designing fault-tolerant
quantum operations for information processing \cite{HQC1,HQC2,HQC3,HQC4}.

In the light of the application to quantum control, the driven systems of
the following form have attracted considerable attention
\cite{LZ1,LZ2,wang,barnes,popul1,popul2,popul3,popul4,popul5}
\begin{equation}
H(t)=\Omega _xJ_x+\Omega _z(t)J_z,  \label{hamil1}
\end{equation}
where $J_{x,z}$ denote the angular-momentum operators satisfying
$[J_i,J_j]=i\varepsilon _{ijk}J_k$, the field component $\Omega_z(t)$
takes a time-dependent form and $\Omega_x$ is assumed to be a constant.
Relevant study on this type of driving protocols can be retrospected to the
original Landau-Zener model \cite{LZ1,LZ2}; the model and associated
variants have been extensively investigated and applied to, e.g., the
controllable quantum state transfer \cite{popul1,popul2,barnes,popul3,popul4,popul5},
Landau-Zener interferometry \cite{LZI1,LZI2,LZI3,LZI4}, and the charge
transfer and chemical reactions \cite{charge1,charge2,charge3,book1}. To our
best knowledge, the previous studies on this kind of driven systems had not
involved the geometric phase. In fact, a simple analysis on the adiabatic
solution of the Hamiltonian (\ref{hamil1}) displays that no geometric phase
could be generated in any such scanning protocols through the adiabatic
process. Let $|m\rangle $ denote the eigenstate of $J_z$ with magnetic quantum
number $m$. The instantaneous eigenstate of the Hamiltonian
is given by $|\psi _m^{ad}(\theta _{ad})\rangle=e^{i\theta _{ad}J_y}|m\rangle $ with
$\theta _{ad}=\arccos \frac{-\Omega_z}{\sqrt{\Omega _x^2+\Omega _z^2 }}$.
For any cyclic evolution the parameter $\theta_{ad}$ should retrace itself
and no Berry connection could be induced in the parametric space:
\begin{equation}
A_m\equiv i\langle \psi _m^{ad}(\theta _{ad})|\partial_{\theta _{ad}} |\psi
_m^{ad}(\theta _{ad})\rangle =-\langle m|J_y|m\rangle =0.  \label{gconnec}
\end{equation}
At this stage, we mention that this consequence resulted from the adiabatic
evolution and it does not indicate the necessity of restriction to the
nonadiabatic quantum process. So the question arises naturally: could one find a
system with the form of Eq. (\ref{hamil1}) that can generate
nonadiabatic geometric phase during its evolution?

The Aharonov-Anandan phase \cite{aaphase} has often been used to
describe the geometric phase for nonadiabatic processes.
Differing from the Berry phase in the cyclic adiabatic evolution,
the Aharonov-Anandan
phase can hardly be interpreted as a geometric object because it usually depends
on certain dynamical quantities, e.g., the rotating angular speed of the
evolving state vector \cite{aaphase1, aaphase2,xinqi}. In this article we
shall present a
driven model with the form of Eq. (\ref{hamil1}) and demonstrate that its
nonadiabatic evolution can generate the geometric phase. Astonishingly, we show
that the nonadiabatic geometric phase induced here is in close
analogy to the adiabatic Berry phase: a curvature vector could be identified
for the loop evolution in the Bloch space (instead of the parametric space);
the phase factor can then be understood as the geometric object of
the solid angle subtended by the closed path of the state vector. On the
other hand, our study reveals that the system is essentially nonadiabatic,
which prohibits an adiabatic approximation for its evolution.
So the existence of the geometric phase in the present model distinguishes
itself from the conventional Berry phase as it is rooted
in the nonadiabatic dynamics.

The rest of the article is organized as follows. In Sec. II we will
introduce the secant-pulse-driven model and solve the Schr\"{o}dinger
equation analytically by invoking a gauge transformation
approach. The explicit form of the dynamical invariant is achieved and the
solution of the system is then characterized in virtue of the
Lewis-Riesenfeld (L-R) theory \cite{lewis}. In Sec. IIIA we investigate the
nonadiabatic geometric phase induced by the loop evolution and elucidate
the linkage between it and the geometry of the evolving path in the
Bloch space. In Sec. IIIB we describe the essential characteristic of
the nonadiabaticity of the model. In Sec. IV we extend the system to a
more general form and show that the previously described properties
coincide in a family of secant-pulse-driven models. Finally,
a summary of the manuscript is presented in Sec. V.

\section{Exact solution to the secant-pulse-driven quantum model}

We address the driven model described by
\begin{equation}
H(t)=\hbar \nu (J_x-\frac 12\sec \frac{\nu t}2J_z),  \label{hamilsec}
\end{equation}
where the field component $\Omega _z(t)$ assumes a secant-shape pulse (see
Fig. 1) and the $x$ component $\Omega _x$ is fixed by $\Omega _x/\hbar =\nu $
(we set $\hbar =1$ afterwards) with $\nu $ the scanning frequency of $\Omega
_z(t)$. Consider the time evolution of the system during the pulsing
interval $t\in (t_0,t_f)$ with $|t_{0,f}|\leq \frac \pi \nu $. In view of
the Lie algebraic structure of the Hamiltonian, a potentially effective
way to solve the Schr\"{o}dinger equation
\begin{equation}
i\frac \partial {\partial t}|\psi (t)\rangle =H(t)|\psi (t)\rangle
\label{sequ}
\end{equation}
is to find out a specific gauge transformation \cite{alge}, $|\psi ^g(t)\rangle
=G^{\dagger }(t)|\psi (t)\rangle $, via which the system is
transformed into a new representation with a simpler Hamiltonian. Most of
the successful cases in previous studies \cite{popul3,popul4,popul5,wang}
have exploited the gauge transformation $G(t)$ in the form of
$e^{iz(t)J_z}e^{iy(t)J_y}$. Nevertheless, here we adopt a slightly
different form (although equivalent mathematically), $G(t)=e^{i\alpha
(t)J_x}e^{i\beta (t)J_y}$, and show that it is an efficient and convenient
choice for this particular model. Under this transformation, one obtains a
new Schr\"{o}dinger equation, $i\partial _t|\psi^g(t)\rangle =H^g(t)|\psi
^g(t)\rangle $, and the effective Hamiltonian $H^g(t)$ reads
\begin{eqnarray}
H^g(t) &=&G^{\dagger }(t)H(t)G(t)-iG^{\dagger }(t)\partial _tG(t)  \nonumber
\\
&=&\vec{X}(t)\cdot \vec{J},  \label{ghamil}
\end{eqnarray}
in which $X_i(t)$'s are given by
\begin{eqnarray}
X_1(t) &=&\dot{\alpha}\cos \beta -\frac \nu 2\sec \frac{\nu t}2\sin \beta
\cos \alpha +\nu \cos \beta ,  \nonumber \\
X_2(t) &=&\dot{\beta}+\frac \nu 2\sec \frac{\nu t}2\sin \alpha ,
\label{coeff} \\
X_3(t) &=&-\dot{\alpha}\sin \beta -\frac \nu 2\sec \frac{\nu t}2\cos \beta
\cos \alpha -\nu \sin \beta .  \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
From Eqs. (\ref{coeff}), one can verify that by setting
\begin{equation}
\alpha (t)=\beta (t)=\frac 12(\pi -\nu t),  \label{angles}
\end{equation}
there are $X_{1,2}(t)=0$ and $X_3(t)=-\frac \nu 2\sec (\frac{\nu t}2)$, thus
\begin{equation}
H^g(t)=-\frac \nu 2\sec \frac{\nu t}2J_z.  \label{gham}
\end{equation}
As a result, the dynamical basis in this transformed representation is obtained
as $|\psi _m^g(t)\rangle =e^{-im\int_{t_0}^tX_3(\tau)d\tau}|m\rangle$ and
the basic solution to the original Schr\"{o}dinger equation (\ref{sequ}) is
then yielded via $|\psi _m(t)\rangle =G(t)|\psi _m^g(t)\rangle $. Not only
that, the above gauge transformation approach also indicates that the system
possesses a dynamical invariant, the so-called L-R invariant \cite{lewis},
\begin{eqnarray}
I(t) &=&G(t)J_zG^{\dagger }(t)  \nonumber \\
&=&-\sin \beta J_x+\cos \beta (\sin \alpha J_y+\cos \alpha J_z)  \nonumber \\
&=&-\cos \frac{\nu t}2J_x+\sin \frac{\nu t}2(\cos \frac{\nu t}2J_y+\sin
\frac{\nu t}2J_z),  \label{invar}
\end{eqnarray}
which satisfies $i\partial _tI(t)=[H(t),I(t)].$

\begin{figure}[t]
\includegraphics[width=0.88\columnwidth]{fig1.eps}
\caption{The scanning process of the secant-pulse-driven model specified by

(b) The diabatic energy levels $E_\pm (t)$ over $\nu$ for the $j=\frac 12$ case.
The energy difference at $t=0$ is given by $E_+(0)-E_-(0)=-\nu$.}
\end{figure}

Let us express $I(t)$ as $I(t)\equiv \vec{R}(t)\cdot \vec{J}$ in which $\vec{R
}(t)=(\sin \theta \cos \varphi ,\sin \theta \sin \varphi ,\cos \theta )$ and
the angles $\theta (t)$ and $\varphi (t)$ are given by
\begin{equation}
\theta (t)=\arccos (\sin ^2\frac{\nu t}2),~~\varphi (t)=\pi -\arctan (\sin
\frac{\nu t}2).  \label{bloch}
\end{equation}
Note that these two equalities constitute the set of parametric equations for the
evolving trajectory of $I(t)$. In the parametric space spanned
by $\vec{R}(\theta ,\varphi )$, $I(t)$ will evolve along a fixed path $\chi $
on the surface of the unit sphere (see Fig. 2).
The orientation of $I(t)$ goes from $\theta =0$ at
$t_0=-\frac \pi \nu $ to $(\theta ,\varphi )=(\frac \pi 2,\pi )$ at
$t=0$, and then returns to the initial orientation at
$t_f=\frac \pi \nu $. According to the L-R theory, the
eigenvector $|\phi _m(t)\rangle $ of $I(t)$, specified by $I(t)|\phi
_m(t)\rangle =m|\phi _m(t)\rangle $, differs from the basic solution $|\psi
_m(t)\rangle $ of the system only by a phase factor: $|\psi _m(t)\rangle
=e^{i\Phi _m(t,t_0)}|\phi _m(t)\rangle $, where $\Phi _m(t,t_0)$ is given by
\begin{equation}
\Phi _m(t,t_0)=\int_{t_0}^t\langle \phi _m(\tau )|i\partial _\tau -H(\tau)
|\phi _m(\tau )\rangle d\tau .  \label{LRphase}
\end{equation}
The two terms of the above integration represent the geometric phase and
the dynamical phase, respectively. The kernel of the latter, accounting for
the diabatic energy levels of the system, is worked out to be
\begin{eqnarray}
E_m(t) &=&\langle \phi _m(t)|H(t)|\phi _m(t)\rangle   \nonumber \\
&=&-\frac{m\nu }2(\cos \frac{\nu t}2+\sec \frac{\nu t}2),  \label{level}
\end{eqnarray}
of which the two-level case, i.e., with the azimuthal quantum number $j=\frac 12$,
is depicted in Fig. 1(b).

\begin{figure}[t]

\section{Exotic dynamical properties of the model}

\subsection{Nonadiabatic Berry phase induced in the model}

We now consider the geometric phase induced by the dynamical
evolution of the model. To be specific, we focus on the case of $j=\frac 12$.
The eigenstates of the dynamical invariant $I(t)$ in this case are
expressed as
\begin{eqnarray}
|\phi _{+}(t)\rangle  &=&\cos \frac{\theta (t)}2|+\rangle +\sin \frac{\theta
(t)}2e^{i\varphi (t)}|-\rangle ,  \nonumber \\
|\phi _{-}(t)\rangle  &=&\sin \frac{\theta (t)}2e^{-i\varphi (t)}|+\rangle
-\cos \frac{\theta (t)}2|-\rangle ,  \label{state2}
\end{eqnarray}
in which we have used the notation ``$\pm $'' for $m=\pm \frac 12$, respectively.
Up to a phase factor, the basis state $|\phi _{\pm }(t)\rangle $ undergoes a loop evolution
from the spin-up (spin-down) state $|\pm \rangle $ at $t\rightarrow -\frac \pi \nu $
to a state $\frac{\sqrt{2}}2(|+\rangle \mp |-\rangle )$ at $t=0$, and then
returns to the initial spin-up (spin-down) state at the ending point $
t\rightarrow +\frac \pi \nu $. The total phase $\Phi _{\pm }(t,t_0)$ induced
in the process can be written as
$\Phi _{\pm }(t,t_0)\equiv \Phi _{\pm }^d(t,t_0)+\Phi _{\pm }^g(t,t_0)$,
and the geometric phase $\Phi _{\pm }^g(t,t_0)$ is worked out to be
\begin{eqnarray}
\Phi _{\pm }^g(t,t_0) &=&\int_{t_0}^t\langle \phi _{\pm }(\tau )|i\partial
_\tau |\phi _{\pm }(\tau )\rangle d\tau   \nonumber \\
&=&\pm \int_{\nu t_0}^{\nu t}\frac{\cos ^3\frac q 2}{4(1+\sin ^2\frac q 2)}dq
\label{nadg}
\end{eqnarray}
with $q\equiv \nu \tau$. For the overall evolution with $t_{0,f}=\mp\frac \pi \nu $,
the above integration gives rise to $\Phi _{\pm }^g(t_f,t_0)=
\pm \frac 12(\pi-2)$.

To manifest the geometric feature of the above phase factor, let us change
the variable $t$ into $\vec{R}(\theta ,\varphi )$. In the Bloch space,
the basis state $|\phi _{+}(t)\rangle $ will evolve along the same path $\chi$
as that of $I(t)$ depicted in Fig. 2. The definite integral in the first line
of Eq. (\ref{nadg}) can then be recast as the line integral along the path
\begin{equation}
\Phi _{\pm }^g(t,t_0)=i\int_{\vec{R}_0}^{\vec{R}}\langle \phi _{\pm }(\vec{R}
)|\vec{\nabla}|\phi _{\pm }(\vec{R})\rangle \cdot d\vec{R}.  \label{nadg2}
\end{equation}
At this stage, it should be noted that the field component $\Omega _z(t)$
diverges as $t\rightarrow \pm \frac \pi \nu $ and the path of the state
vector is not strictly closed owing to the singularity at the point $\theta
=0$ (the point $P$ in Fig. 2). However, it is seen from
Eqs. (\ref{LRphase})-(\ref{nadg2}) that this divergency does not
occur in the loop integral of
the geometric phase $\Phi _{\pm }^g(\chi )$ but only affects that of the
dynamical part of the total phase $\Phi _{\pm }(\chi )$. So we can regard
the integral path of Eq. (\ref{nadg2}) a closed loop along which the
geometric phase can be calculated by integrating the curvature over the
enclosed surface
\begin{eqnarray}
\Phi _{\pm }^g(\chi ) &=&i\oint_\chi \langle \phi _{\pm }(\vec{R})|
\vec{\nabla}|\phi _{\pm }(\vec{R})\rangle \cdot d\vec{R}  \nonumber \\
&=&-\iint\nolimits_{S(\chi )}\vec{\nabla}\times \vec{\mathcal{A}}_{\pm }
(\vec{R})\cdot d\vec{S},  \label{Bphase}
\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{equation}
\vec{\mathcal{A}}_{\pm }(\vec{R})\equiv i\langle \phi _{\pm }(\vec{R})|
\vec{\nabla}|\phi _{\pm }(\vec{R})\rangle  \label{gauge}
\end{equation}
denotes the nonadiabatic Berry connection. The occurring of the minus
in the second line of Eq. (\ref{Bphase}) is due to the clockwise direction
of the path $\chi$. It is direct to obtain
\begin{equation}
\vec{\mathcal{A}}_{\pm }(\vec{R})=
\mp \frac {\sin^2(\theta/2)} {R\sin\theta} \hat{\varphi}.
\label{curv}
\end{equation}
Thus the curvature $\vec{\nabla}\times \vec{\mathcal{A}}_{\pm }
(\vec{R})=\mp\frac {\hat{R}} {2R^2}$ and the surface integral in
Eq. (\ref{Bphase}) is obtained as
\begin{equation}
\Phi _{\pm }^g(\chi )=\pm \frac 12\iint\nolimits_{S(\chi )}\sin \theta
d\theta d\varphi =\pm \frac 12\Omega (\chi),  \label{sangle}
\end{equation}
where $\Omega (\chi)=\pi -2$ is just the solid angle swept by
the loop evolution. It is remarkable that the nonadiabatic geometric phase
induced here is independent of any dynamical quantity, e.g., the scanning
frequency $\nu$ or the angular speed of the evolving state vector.

In real physical systems the driving field cannot be infinite and
the truncation of the secant pulse is inevitable. The expression of
Eq. (\ref{nadg}) then describes the nonadiabatic geometric phase
for the non-cyclic dynamical process. It is worthy to note that,
as the integral kernel in Eq. (\ref{nadg}) tends to zero as
$\tau\rightarrow \pm\frac \pi \nu$, the truncation of the field pulse
results in very small influence on the amount of the geometric phase.
In Fig. 3 we depict the cutoff error to the geometric phase $\Phi_+^g(\chi)$
induced by the symmetric truncation
of the filed pulse, i.e., with $\nu t_{0,f}=\mp|\pi -\delta|$.
It is shown that the relative error is less than $10^{-3}$ even
when there is dramatic truncation $\delta\sim \frac {\pi} {10}$.

\begin{figure}[t]
\includegraphics[width=0.88\columnwidth]{fig3.eps}
\caption{Influence of the truncation of the field pulse
on the geometric phase. The curve of the inset describes
the integral kernel in
Eq. ({\ref{nadg}}) as a function of $q\equiv\nu\tau$.
It is shown that the relative error
[specified by $1-\Phi_+^g(t_f,t_0)/\Phi_+^g(\chi)$]
is almost negligible when the cutoff is within
$\delta\lesssim 0.2\pi $.}
\end{figure}

\subsection{Nonadiabaticity of the model}

In spite of the geometric feature described above, the nonadiabatic Berry
connection $\vec{\mathcal{A}}_{\pm }(\vec{R})$ obtained in Eq. (\ref{gauge})
could not recover the adiabatic one shown in Eq. (\ref{gconnec}). In particular,
we show in the below that the dynamical evolution generated by the present
model is essentially nonadiabatic and does not allow an adiabatic approximation.
That is to say, the geometric phase
induced in the model differs from the conventional Berry phase
since it is rooted in the nonadiabatic dynamics but not the commonly known
adiabatic process.

Firstly, we mention that the basis state $|\phi_m(t)\rangle$ of $I(t)$ could
never recover the adiabatic instantaneous eigenstate $|\psi_m^{ad}(t)\rangle$
of the Hamiltonian (\ref{hamilsec}). This can be intuitively understood in
view that in the parameter space $|\phi_m(t)\rangle$ always evolves along
the fixed trajectory which is independent of the scanning
frequency $\nu $ [cf. Eq. (\ref{bloch})]. More specifically, one can verify that the
quantitative condition of the adiabatic approximation,
\begin{equation}
\left| \frac{\langle \psi _{m}^{ad}(t)|\dot{\psi}_{n}^{ad}(t)\rangle}{
E_{m}^{ad}(t)-E_{n}^{ad}(t)}\right|= \left|\frac {\langle \psi _m^{ad}(t)|\dot{H}
(t)|\psi_n^{ad}(t)\rangle} {[E_m^{ad}(t)-E_n^{ad}(t)]^2}\right|\ll 1,  \label{adcon}
\end{equation}
cannot be fulfilled for the present model since both the numerator
and denominator above are dominated by the same power of the parameter $\nu$.
For the $j=\frac 12$ case a straightforward calculation gives
\begin{equation}
\left| \frac{\langle \psi _{+}^{ad}(t)|\dot{\psi}_{-}^{ad}(t)\rangle}{
E_{+}^{ad}(t)-E_{-}^{ad}(t)}\right|=\frac{|\sin \frac{\nu t}2|}2\sin \theta_{ad} \cos
^2\theta _{ad}  \label{adcon1}
\end{equation}
with $\theta_{ad}(t)=\arccos[(1+4\cos^2\frac {\nu t} {2})^{-1/2}]$. So
the adiabatic condition should be violated during the evolution
whatever how slow the scanning rate $\nu $ assumes.

Another perspective to exhibit the nonadiabaticity of the model
is to compare the state evolution generated by $H(t)$ of Eq. (\ref{hamilsec})
and that by $H^{\prime }(t)\equiv -H(t)$. Although the two Hamiltonians $H(t)$
and $H^{\prime }(t)$ possess completely identical instantaneous
eigenvectors, the dynamical evolution generated by them is different. In
view that $H^\prime (t)$ relates to $H(t)$ by a transformation
$\nu\rightarrow -\nu$, the dynamical invariant $I^\prime (t)$ (hence
the basis state $|\phi_m^\prime (t)\rangle$) of the model $H^\prime (t)$
can be obtained from $I(t)$ of the original
system $H(t)$ by changing $\varphi (t)$ into
$\varphi^\prime(t)=\pi +\arctan (\sin \frac{\nu t}2)$
but with $\theta^\prime(t)=\theta(t)$ [cf. Eq. (\ref{bloch})]. So the
nonadiabatic effect can be displayed by the loss of fidelity
between the basis sets of the two models:
$\delta_m(t)\equiv1-|\langle \phi _m(t)|\phi
_m^{\prime }(t)\rangle |^2$. For the $j=\frac 12$ case, one obtains
\begin{equation}
\delta_{\pm}(t)=\sin ^2\theta (t)\sin ^2\varphi (t)=\sin ^2\frac{\nu t}2\cos
^2\frac{\nu t}2.  \label{overlap}
\end{equation}
It is clear that the nonadiabaticity displayed above does not depends on the scanning
frequency $\nu $, which reconfirms that the model is essentially nonadiabatic.

\section{Generalization of the secant-pulse-driven model}

We now extend the above proposed model to a more general form of which
the field component $\Omega_x$ assumes an arbitrary
time-dependent scanning pulse. Specifically, this family of driven
models are shown as
\begin{equation}
\tilde{H}(t)=\Omega_x(t)\{J_x-\frac {1} {2}J_z\sec[\frac 12\int
\Omega_x(t)dt+\vartheta_0]\},
\end{equation}
in which $\Omega_x(t)$ is a general function of $t$ and the
constant $\vartheta_0$ in the integral $\vartheta(t)\equiv\frac 12\int
\Omega_x(t)dt+\vartheta_0$ is set such that $|\vartheta(t)|<\frac \pi 2$. By
invoking a similar gauge transformation $\tilde{G}(t)=e^{i\tilde{\alpha}(t)
J_x}e^{i\tilde{\beta}(t)J_y}$ with
\begin{equation}
\tilde{\alpha}(t)=\tilde{\beta}(t)=\frac {\pi} {2}-\vartheta(t),
\end{equation}
one can obtain an effective Hamiltonian in the transformed representation:
\begin{eqnarray}
\tilde{H}^g(t)&=&\tilde{G}^\dagger(t)\tilde{H}(t)\tilde{G}(t) -i\tilde{G}
^\dagger\partial_t\tilde{G}(t)  \nonumber \\
&=&-\frac {1} {2}\Omega_x(t)\sec \vartheta(t)J_z.  \label{hg2}
\end{eqnarray}
Subsequently the dynamical invariant of the system is achieved as
\begin{equation}
\tilde{I}(t)=-\cos\vartheta(t)J_x+\sin\vartheta(t)[\cos\vartheta(t)J_y+\sin
\vartheta(t)J_z].
\end{equation}
For the time interval during which $\vartheta(t)$ goes from $-\frac \pi 2$
to $\frac \pi 2$, $\tilde{I}(t)$ will evolve along the same path $\chi$ as
that of $I(t)$ shown in Fig. 2. So the geometric phase $\tilde{\Phi}_m(\chi)$
induced during the loop evolution is identical to $\Phi_m(\chi)$
[cf. Eq. (\ref{sangle})] obtained in the former model. That is to say, the
sort of driven models possess the universal geometric property with respect
to the dynamical evolution.

\section{Conclusion}

In summary, we have explored the dynamics generated by a secant-pulse-driven model.
The Schr\"{o}dinger equation of the system is solved
exactly by virtue of the gauge transformation approach. The nonadiabatic Berry phase,
or the so-called Aharonov-Anandan phase, induced by the loop evolution of
the model is shown to possess quite
exotic properties: it can be understood as the geometric object of the
solid angle subtended by the evolution path and is independent of the
evolving speed
of the state vector in the Bloch space; on the other hand, the geometric
phase achieved in the present model distinguishes itself from
the adiabatic Berry phase as the
model does not allow the adiabatic assumption for the
dynamical evolution. Furthermore, we have extended the system
to a more general form and show that the described feature
of the dynamics is universal in the specified family of secant-pulse-driven models.

For the potential application of the model, we note
that the spin geometric phase driven by magnetic field textures
has been exploited to manipulate electronic quantum states in
semiconducting nanostructures \cite{appl1,appl2}.
Very recently, the role of the nonadiabatic A-A phase of the
spin carriers subject to in-plane magnetic textures has also been
investigated in relation to the topological transition in electronic
spin transport \cite{appl3,appl4}. The model proposed in the present
manuscript offers a renewed way to address the relevant issue.
To this goal, a possible design of the described model in $1$D
conducting rings, which takes into account the matching of the
intrinsic Rashba field and the magnetic textures from an external source,
should be a research topic in the future study.

A warm roof will melt the bottom layer of snow, while cold temps will continue to reform it as ice. Eventually, this growing ice dam will back up under your shingles and seep into your attic, causing all sorts of trouble.
We're the team to call for ice dam removal in Traverse City, MI. Not only do we get rid of ice dams on your roof, we'll correct the ventilation issue causing hot air to build up in your attic. We can also re-insulate your attic to ensure proper heat retention and efficiency.
Avoid the problems that come from unchecked mold growth and devastating ice damming! Contact the professionals at Inter-Lakes Insulation today to have these problems thoroughly assessed and completely remediated. We provide solutions that are lasting and safe, so you can enjoy your forced air with peace of mind. Contact us today at 231-313-0485 to schedule an inspection.

William John Maguire
William J. Maguire passed away unexpectedly at the age of 70 with his loving wife Theresa at his side at their home on May 18, 2020. Bill was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, and spent his entire career as a law enforcement officer protecting and serving his fellow citizens. Born September 23, 1949 in the Minooka section of Scranton he was the only child of William V. Maguire and Mary Higgins Maguire. A 1967 graduate of E.L. Meyers High School in Wilkes-Barre, he later graduated from the Metropolitan Police Academy, Washington D.C. in 1971, the Pennsylvania State Police Academy for Municipal Officers in 1975, and the Prince George's County, MD, Special Operations School in 1985. William was a distinguished member of the Washington D.C. Metro Police Department and the Wilkes-Barre City Police Department for nearly 25 years. He served proudly as a Patrolman, Detective, and Chief of Detectives. William worked to establish Wilkes-Barre City's first Emergency Services Unit, responsible for apprehending and protecting the city from the most violent offenders. William also served as the head of the Wilkes-Barre City's Narcotics/Vice Unit and Wilkes-Barre City's Task Force Coordinator with the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General Drug Task Force. While Bill received many distinguished service awards during his law enforcement career, he was most proud of the respect and admiration he received from the citizens he protected, his fellow officers, and his commanders. Bill was just as proud of his Irish heritage and enjoyed watching Notre Dame Football with his family. He also enjoyed golfing with his friends. He was a diehard Crestwood High School sports fan who never missed one of his grandchildren's games or cheer events. Bill and Theresa were always the first to arrive to sit in their "lucky" seats. Although he will be missed in the stands by his family and friends, Crestwood will always have a special fan watching from above. Preceding William in death were his father, William V. Maguire, mother, Mary Higgins Maguire, and adored in-laws, Casimir and Lottie Katra. As the core of his family and extended family, Bill will be greatly missed by his wife, the love of his life, Theresa Katra Maguire, with whom he celebrated 49 years of marriage this past April; his children, Kimberly Maguire Petrosky and her husband Stan, and Michael Maguire and his fiancée, Kristen Krashnak, all of Mountaintop; five beautiful grandchildren, Ryan, Kendall and Matthew Petrosky, and Madison and Makenzie Maguire; other family and friends he helped care for and loved. The Maguire family is grateful for all of the "Doc Carey's" who were not just healthcare providers but also dear friends to Bill. Bill's family will celebrate his life privately.
