The form of this ewer relates closely, the conical mouth flaring from a raised annular collar, to that of unglazed pottery jugs which are attributed to Afghanistan (Ernst J. Grube, Cobalt and Lustre, the Nasser D. Khalili Collection of Islamic Art, London, 1994, no.345, p.306 for example). Here the mouth is narrower, and the original foot is lacking.
The decoration has obvious links to Sassanian silver vessels, with the large deer either side. That this formula for iconography also continued through to the Islamic period is shown by vessels such as the very impressive copper-inlaid ewer in the Hermitage (Vladimir Loukonine and Anatoli Ivanov, L'Art Persan, Bournemouth, 1995, no.82, pp.108-9), or a parcel gilt silver bowl (Iran in the Hermitage, exhibition catalogue, St. Petersburg, 2004, no.65, pp.56-57). The drawing of the present vessel is however some way distant from that of the Hermitage examples, and the technique is also different from both. The somewhat stylised drawing of the animal, and in particular the use of borders of roundels are however reminiscent of Central Asian textiles, such as those attributed to Soghdia. A Central Asian origin in the early Islamic period for this very unusual ewer seems most probable.

What's the weather like in Fuerteventura in September?
Just over 100km off the coast of Morocco, Fuerteventura's the closest of Spain's Canary Islands to Africa. This means it has a warm year-round climate, and you'll still feel the long hot summer if you're going in September, with which has lots of sunny weather and hardly any rain.
Climatic influences
The nearby Sahara Desert's a driving force behind Fuerteventura's heat, although you'll usually be kept comfortable by north easterly winds and the Canary Current in September. It can feel really desert-like though when the island gets hot winds, which can push temperatures up a lot, and bring the occasional dust storm. Lanzarote's just to the north, which means the weather's drier and more consistent in Fuerteventura.
The average high in September reaches 28ºC, which is also the annual high. Things stay nice and warm in the evenings, which only cool to 20ºC. The sea's also lovely and warm at 23ºC, while humidity's low. At just 2mm average rainfall's hardly worth mentioning, leaving you to concentrate on 12 hours of daylight with eight hours of sunshine each day. You should however take note of the very high UV levels and protect yourself in the sun with plenty of sun cream, which sets at around 8pm for most of the month.
Things to Do
With soaring temperatures and virtually no chance of rain, Fuerteventura's ideal for you to relax on the beach in September. Costa Calma's popular Playa Barca, Cofete's quieter stretches and the Parque Natural de Corralejo's sand dunes are all great. Go diving, snorkelling or surfing in the sea, or splash around at Corralejo's Acua waterpark, where there's also an 18-hole mini-golf course.

Father of Malawian boy backs Madonna adoption bid
By Mabvuto Banda
LIPUNGA, Malawi (Reuters) - The father of a Malawian child that Madonna wants to adopt said on Monday he supported her case but wanted the U.S. popstar to bring his boy home for visits.
Madonna is expected to appear in a Malawian court on Thursday for what is expected to be a final and favorable ruling on whether she can adopt David Banda. She is due to arrive in the impoverished southern African country on Tuesday.
The pop diva began adoption proceedings in 2006 and the two-year-old has been living with her and her film director husband Guy Ritchie in their London home since then.
The adoption has been controversial, with critics accusing the government of skirting laws that ban non-residents from adopting children in Malawi, which has been ravaged by an AIDS epidemic leaving more than one million orphans.
Malawi's government has recommended that its High Court approve Madonna's adoption of the child.
"I have no problem with the government's recommendation to allow Madonna to get the child. This is what I wanted, that Madonna should keep the child," the boy's father, Yohane Banda, told Reuters Television in an interview.
One of Malawi's fiercest critics of Madonna's adoption bid, the Human Rights Consultative Committee (HRCC), said on Monday it was no longer interested in pursuing the case, removing another obstacle.
"It will be as a waste of time and resources to continue pursuing the case. Malawi has more pressing issues than Madonna," HRCC chairman Udule Mwakasungura told Reuters. Continued...

What I Know For Sure by Oprah Winfrey - A 15-minute Instaread Summary PLEASE NOTE: This is a summary of the book and NOT the original book. Inside this Instaread Summary: Overview of the entire book Introduction to the important people in the book Summary and analysis of all the chapters in the book Key Takeaways of the book A Reader's Perspective Preview of this summary: Chapter 1 Amid everyday stresses, Winfrey learned to savor the peak experiences that make life worth living, which she calls 'ahhh' moments. Her first principle of joy is that, whether working or playing, people should delight in what they do and live in the moment. To illustrate this, Winfrey relates how terrified she was when singer, Tina Turner, invited her to be a backup dancer for a show. She feared embarrassing herself, yet went up on the stage and found joy in dancing. Second, Winfrey has come to understand, despite her lifelong weight problems, food still should be a source of joy, as when she and her friends shared a memorable dinner at a trattoria in Rome. People who love chocolate, as she does, need not ban it from their lives, but instead eat small amounts and savor every moment of it. Finally, Winfrey learned to delight in her friends, such as her beloved, best friend, Gayle King, and her diet guru, Bob Greene. King, whom Winfrey met in 1976, both keeps her grounded and cheers her on. Greene guides her on the path of eating foods that are right for both her body and her spirit… About the Author With Instaread Summaries, you can get the summary of a book in 30 minutes or less.

The audit log parsing library should help any tool makers job easier. I see the current situation as a temporary wrinkle that we have to work through. Jason took a stab at alleviating the performance issue, but we can't include it yet since there's a bug in it. I don't know if he'll have time in the near future to continue working on it. If someone else wants to work through the bugs in it, that would be great. If someone else wants to create an alternate patch, that would be great.

A collection of stories by Stacy Barton
|"Stacy Barton's brilliant collection will haunt you. It's courageous, honest and smart."
John Dufresne
Full of humor and pathos, as southern stories love to be, the fifteen short-shorts in this debut collection will haunt you like a memory. From simple family dysfunction to tragic twists of fate, the characters in Surviving Nashville suffer their losses with surprising grace. Stacy Barton is a storyteller with an ear for dialect, an eye for detail and a heart for her characters - even the mean ones.

Whether it was the almost unbelievable punt return for a touchdown by Nathan Swift, which had a typically stoic press box filled with typically stoic members of the press, almost going nuts to the point the in-box announcer had to tell us all to shut up, or it was one valiant effort after another by a team desperately trying to claw its way back in the face of some ever-stiffening odds..
This team didn't give up
They never mailed it in, and I talked to no less than five players after the game, who were all around last year, saying if this had been the previous year, things would have happened very differently.
But to the negative.
No, I'm not talking about the 55 yards rushing, though, that has to be a worry to some.
No, I'm not talking about a secondary which made Tyrod Taylor, a quarterback who isn't a good thrower, look like he could actually beat a team with his arm.
No, I'm not talking about the three holding penalties on the offensive line, two by center Jacob Hickman.
I'm talking about the head coach himself
It's something you can't harp on too much, because it's that same intensity which made his team, and there is no doubt this is his team, gritty all the way to the end. But when defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh gets called for a personal foul, late hit out of bounds, which was the correct call, Bo's sideline antics took the ball from the 20 and gave the Hokies first and 10 on the Huskers' 11-yard line.
|Pelini's personality had the team fighting to
to the finish, but might have cost them a
little at the end
Based on the success Nebraska had in stopping Virginia Tech in the red zone, forcing field goals, you could argue how much effect it had. But they got a touchdown instead of a field goal this time around, much of that potentially having to do with the penalty on the head coach.
Referees remember
Calls that may go your way at some point will start going the other team's way down the road, because some referee remembers how you berated him after a call you made, which, in fact, was correct. You are hurting your own team by doing, basically.
It's hard to know where the line is with that, because again, the same intensity in which Bo coaches, which is why this team didn't quit, is the same kind of intensity which prompted him to go after the refs to the point where they had no choice but to throw the flag.
There's a little give and take with that stuff, and maybe Bo learns from this and takes stock of what happened, what happened because of it and moves on. But Bo is Bo. He's not one who is going to necessarily tow the company line, because that's what he's supposed to do.
You hired the guy, because he's not just a good coach, but because he knows how to approach players and how to get the most out of them. He does that. There's no question about that. But if you think referees won't remember these little tirades, some getting awfully chippy, think again.
Bo brings so many good things to a team that needed them. Also, not everything can be perfect. But don't give someone a reason which is such that if the game is close, a call is made, you don't have to wonder if a ref is making that call based on just what he sees or what he sees and what he remembers as well.
If you can avoid it, avoid it
But overall, yeah, Joe was ordinary for a half and didn't do anything really to help his team. Yep, the offense ran for 55 yards, not exactly what you want when trying to establish the line of scrimmage. They held, missed tackles, gave up HUGE yards in the return game and left wide receivers so wide open that even a mobile QB with a penchant for bad passes in key situations, looked like he could move the chains with his arm.
But they didn't quit. They didn't give up. This team would have mailed it in by half last year, and this year they actually had a shot to win in the end.
I guess if it's for the national title and if Bo's antics cost them that game, maybe then it will be something to really talk about, really rant about and be something you could use as a reason to worry.
Not today though. The same kind of animation he showed in the end which wasn't as ideal, got his entire team to the point where they were at least competitive, despite all the mistakes they made.
THAT is what I would worry about more than anything.
Figure out tackling, not holding, who should be the starting running back and that it's OK to throw a ball out of bounds rather than push it somewhere based on the belief that everyone is as slow as Western Michigan.
It wasn't an A+, but the fact that they were in this game at the end, while it doesn't make me think they have a snowball's chance in hell against Missouri, who has actual proven weapons in the passing game, at least I will be confident watching a game I know the Huskers will be fighting to win to the end.
That has to be worth something.

While you'll run across an occasional expert who recommends extremely low-calorie diets for weight loss with hypothyroidism, the majority of experts believe you may not be eating enough to maintain a healthy metabolism. Dropping calories too low can lower your metabolism and send your body into "hoard" mode -- a process which thyroid patients are particularly susceptible to and which can offset weight loss efforts and keep you from success with your diet.

Personally, when I want to lose weight, going on a 1,200-calorie-or-less per day diet is a sure-fire way to ensure that I don't lose a pound. And if you're dieting your heart out, and not getting anywhere, the problem may not be that you're eating too much -- you may be eating too little, and not in the right balance.

How to Lose Weight With Hypothyroidism
To start with, use the following formula to calculate how many calories you need:

Divide your current weight in pounds by 2.2, in order to convert your weight to kilograms.

Multiply your weight in kilograms by 30. (30 is the number of calories you need per pound of body weight.)

So, if you are 160 pounds, you divide 160 by 2.2, which equals 73 kilograms.

Multiply 73 kilograms by 30, which equals 2190, which would be how many calories you theoretically need to maintain your current weight of 160.

Subtract 200 calories for your thyroid condition, an estimate to reflect the reduction in your metabolism and calorie requirements.

1990 calories are now the estimated calorie requirements for you as a thyroid patient to maintain a weight of 160 pounds.

To lose weight, you need to cut your calorie requirements by 5 calories per kilogram, so that means you multiply your current weight in kilograms by 25 instead of 30.

So, in our example above, if you are 160 pounds, you divide 160 by 2.2, which equals 73 kilograms.

Multiply 73 kilograms by 25, which equals 1825, which would be how many calories you theoretically need to lose about a pound every ten days, at 3500 calories per pound).

Again, subtract 200 calories to account for your thyroid condition.

1625 calories are now the estimated calorie requirements for you as a thyroid patient to lose weight at a safe rate.

How to Eat Your Calories

Most of the effective weight loss programs for thyroid patients also focus on breaking up those calories into multiple "mini-meals" per day. And some experts believe that people with hypothyroidism should eat 40% protein/25% fat/35% low-glycemic carbohydrates in smaller, 250-300-calorie meals.

To help plan your mini-meals, let's look at one more set of calculations.

Current Weight, in Pounds _____
Divide above by 2.2 _____
Multiply result by 25 _____
Subtract 200 for "Thyroid Factor" -200
Calories Per Day for Weight Loss _____
Divide by 300 = # of 300-calorie "mini-meals" Per Day _____

At 300 calories per meal, a 175-pound hypothyroid person could expect to lose weight eating approximately six balanced mini-meals of around 300 calories each, spaced out evenly throughout the day...along with appropriate exercise, of course!

Nintendo Misses Profit Expectations by Half, Sells Only 3.45 Million Wii Us for Fiscal Year

Nintendo expects a profit surge for March 31, 2014 thanks to new games for the Wii U
Nintendo was betting on
the Wii U
for help in the sales department, but it looks like the new console has disappointed so far -- and it shows in the company's latest earnings report.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, Nintendo posted a year-over-year sales drop of 1.9 percent to 635.4 billion yen ($6.4 billion USD). The company was originally hoping for 670 billion yen.
Nintendo was able to report
a small profit
of 7 billion yen, but that's only half of the 14 billion yen that it had previously predicted. The gaming company also saw a wider operating loss than expected, coming in at 36.4 billion yen instead of the projected 20 billion yen.
Many are blaming the Wii U gaming console for Nintendo's lower-than-expected figures. Only 3.45 million Wii Us were sold worldwide for the last fiscal year, which just missed Nintendo's projection of 4 million sales. About 13.42 million units of software sold for the new console as well. The company sold 3.98 million original Wiis and 13.95 million 3DS handheld units.
"For the 'Wii U' system, launched in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, there were some delays in software development that resulted in intervals between new software title releases at the early stage of this year," said Nintendo. "Taking this into consideration, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, we plan to concentrate on proactively releasing key Nintendo titles from the second half of this year through next year in order to regain momentum for the platform.
"We also strive to reduce costs to improve hardware profitability."
Nintendo expects a profit surge from the 7 billion yen this year to 55 billion yen next year (March 31, 2014) thanks to new games for the Wii U.
In January of this year, Nintendo had announced that it was
cutting its Wii U sales targets
from 5.5 million to 4 million by March 2013. At that time, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata explained that Wii U sales were lower because of the popularity of mobile devices for gaming and the fact that this is the first time Nintendo has released two versions of a console at once.
The Wii U
launched November 18, 2012
. The Basic Set ($299.99) features 8 GB HDD, a Wii U Pad controller and it in comes in white. The Deluxe model ($349.99), on the other hand, offers 32 GB HDD, a Wii U Pad controller, power cradles for the Wii U Pad, an HDMI cable and it comes in black.
In addition to an earnings report, Nintendo has also announced that Iwata will become the new Nintendo of America CEO. He is replacing Tatsumi Kimishima, who will now become the general manager within parent company Nintendo Co. Ltd. Nintendo said the reason for this is to streamline its international business. Reggie Fils-Aime, the president and COO for Nintendo North America, will remain in his current position.

According to an NDTV report, others sentenced to death include Jamaat chief and the then industries minister Motiur Rahman Nizami and Lutfozzaman Babar, the then state to minister for home. All have been charged for smuggling in 10 truckloads of firearms on April 2, 2004.
The firearm heist was a major one as a huge cache of arms was recovered at the jetty of the Chittagong Urea Fertiliser Ltd (CUFL), close to the Karnaphuli river. These firearms were being loaded on 10 trucks to be sent to the Indian separatist outfit ULFA. The cache included 27,020 grenades, 2,000 grenade-launching tubes, 4,930 sophisticated firearms of several types, 840 rocket launchers, 300 rockets, 6,392 magazines and 11.41 million bullets.
Two chargesheets were slapped in connection with the case-one in the arms case and after four months, another in the smuggling case. Barua and Amin are absconding since then.

Like other issues on the summit agenda, this was subject to much battering as the final document was negotiated. Egypt, Algeria, Pakistan, India, Russia, Cuba, Iran, and Syria tried to block it. And for all its rhetoric about freedom, the US did not want to be obliged to act in all such cases, preferring a reference to "moral responsibility". Happily, a majority of states, including many in Africa, the EU and Japan, backed Canada's initiative - producing what amounts to a significant advance in international humanitarian law and a clear break with the UN's tradition of non-intervention.
Cynics and UN-bashers will counter that the 1994 Rwandan genocide - when nearly a million died in 100 days - took place despite the strictures of the 1948 genocide convention, itself a response to the Nazis' industrial-scale extermination of Jews in the second world war. It would be right too to point to sterile semantic debates over what has happened in Darfur, where there have been planned mass killings of people on the basis of their ethnic identity, but a shameful failure to act because of national interests such as China's close ties with Sudan. Nato's intervention in Kosovo in 1999 went ahead without a UN mandate because Russia, an ally of Serbia, blocked agreement in the security council. Yet no one who has followed the cases being tried at the UN tribunal in the Hague - including the Srebrenica massacre - can doubt the nature of the crimes committed in the Balkan wars.
Every state is committed to protecting its people from mass killings and crimes against humanity, and to intervening when necessary - though it will doubtless prove easier to act in Liberia, say, than in Tibet or Chechnya. At the end of an otherwise bleak summit it is some small consolation that an organisation founded to save future generations from the scourge of war has pledged to ensure that never again really means never again.

Over the weekend, the following three things occurred:
- I was looking at the huge world map that Eric and I bought to hang in our bedroom. I wanted to get a closer look because I wanted a geography refresher — my world geography skills are nothing short of shameful and I'm not saying that in a "isn't it cute that I'm so flaky?" kind of way, but in a holy-shit-I-think-I've-realized-my-2013-New-Year's-Resolution kind of way — and when I couldn't make out all the tiny country names, I reached forward so I could pinch the image to expand it.
- I was looking through the large stack of mail taking over our entryway table (ladies and gentlemen, I do not recommend letting glasses and a beard distract you from the fact that a man's something of a hoarder) and when I couldn't immediately find what I was looking for, a thought popped into my head: just type what you're looking for in the search field and get on with it.
- I washed my hair, after avoiding it for a week.
Regarding the first two: whatever. I'm not ashamed of my love for technology or the fact that it wears me out sometimes. Everything I love wears me out sometimes. (Or perhaps I wear it out. I don't know. I do think maybe I've loved some things to death though. And some people, but just in the metaphorical sense.)
Regarding the hair washing: water has always been my enemy and my extensions are a pain to wash.
Really, I just find showering to be a huge waste of time. Like, yeah, it has its time and place, but on the whole, I think it's rather overrated. As a result, I take very short showers. If I'm staying with friends and I take a shower, I often get a "…you're done already?" when I exit the bathroom, wrapped in a towel and hunting for my lotion, two minutes after going in. "I couldn't even get wet in that amount of time," everyone says.
I feel like everyone but me is in some secret shower club and they have really cool meetings while they are in there. That's the only reason I can think of that everyone I know loves taking long showers. I mean yeah, "secret shower club meetings" could be the newest way of saying you're getting yourself off, but I don't think that's it. So my question always is…WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING IN THERE?!
"Singing," everyone says. "Thinking." "That's when I get my best ideas."
I get so bored in the shower. The only thing I'm thinking about in there is how fast I can get out. The best idea I've had in the shower was when I realized I could get out but leave the water running to fool Eric into thinking I was in there for a socially acceptable amount of time. I didn't do it, but I'm hanging onto that one.
Earlier this year, Eric and I actually started taking our morning showers together. Having someone to talk to in there was the only thing that made showering tolerable, and having someone to wash your back just makes good sense. (As much as I enjoyed our shared showers, I'd still be done first and would just be standing around tapping my foot, looking at my pruney fingers…finally, I'd say, "Welp, see ya later!" and I'd bounce. He'd stay in there for another few minutes doing God knows what. But it was still a step in the right direction.)
But at our new place? The master bathroom has a Jacuzzi tub and then a separate shower stall. That thing is a prison! Two people cannot reasonably fit in this shower and so I've lost the small way I'd found to enjoy a shower. (And don't even get me started on baths. I love myself but I just can't get past the idea of human broth, which is what a bath is making. I took one bath in my new tub and while it was mildly enjoyable — mainly because it came after a week of moving and I was so filthy and exhausted, I would have done far worse things things than take a bath if you told me it would make me feel better — I have no desire to take one again. I honestly can't remember the last time I took a bath prior to that. I know it was several years ago. For me, baths are just something that only exist in movies. In real life, with no plot to further or teenage boys to titillate, what would be the point of taking one?)
So I've never liked showering, but this weekend, it occurred to me that my love for technology, the love that has made me start approaching real-life objects like they all have touch screens, has made me hate water even more than I used to. As we all know, water ruins more than hair…it also ruins technology. The two cannot coexist. And so I hate showering.
I spend most of my life in two states: reading or writing. If I am not sleeping or having good sex, I am probably reading or writing. If I am not doing those things, I likely am wanting to get my hands on a device (or a book or a notebook — paper is shower's original victim) so I can get back to doing those things. And the shower…it tricks you! It promises to be a place of relaxation, inspiration, and creativity but…HOW CAN I RELAX IF I CAN'T READ OR WRITE THINGS DOWN? AND IF MY HAIR IS MELTING?!
I feel like technology is a superhero, showering is its arch nemesis, and I am the unassuming love interest who is always getting lured into dangerous situations as part of their ongoing battle. I was dumb enough to believe the shower (dressed up like an old lady, most likely) when it told me to come out of the cold bedroom, that it would be nice and warm in there. Once I'm in and the hot water hits my body, I hear a sound from the bathroom counter. I've just gotten an e-mail. And there is my phone, blinking its light for me. I reach for it, but the super villain shower has now thrown off its disguise and is laughing maniacally, shouting to my phone, "I've got what's most precious to you and if you try to touch her, you'll both be dead!" And yet I can't get out because then I'd freeze. I'm trapped in the evil clutches of this tiny vertical box. I'm trying to scream for help, but the evil shower head is shooting water in my face, blinding me and choking me, making it impossible for anyone to help me, and my poor phone is useless.
OK, so I suppose I do get a little thinking done in the shower, because I sometimes have thoughts like that and I am actually able to remember them until I get out and can get my hands on my phone to take them down. But for the most part, I see showering as a necessary evil, one that takes up time that could be better spent doing pretty much anything else. I know a lot of people love long showers, but I just prefer to be dry. Well-moisturized, obviously, but dry.

Yemen President Travels to US for Treatment
Player utilities
This story is based on a radio interview. Listen to the full interview.
Skip to content
This story is based on a radio interview. Listen to the full interview.
Lisa Mullins: The turmoil in Syria is reminiscent of the protests and violence in Yemen. The difference is that in Yemen, the country's longtime president has accepted a deal to step down from power. Ali Abdullah Saleh left his country yesterday. He's on his way to the United States for medical treatment. Before he left Saleh was granted immunity from prosecution. He also asked for forgiveness for any shortcomings during his 33 year reign. However, the protestors who turned out today in the capital, Sanaa, weren't in a forgiving mood.
Protestors: [speaking Arabic]
Mullins: They demandad that Saleh and his aids be put on trial for atrocities committed while they were in power. Freelance reporter Laura Kasinof has been covering the developments in Yemen, where she has lived off and on over the past four years. She's now in Washington, DC. Where is President Saleh of Yemen heading here in the United States?
Laura Kasinof: What I've heard from Yemeni government officials is that he is headed to a hospital in New York for surgery and for neurosurgery there, a very specialized surgery that can only be done best in certain places.
Mullins: How long will he be here?
Kasinof: I'm sure it's up in the air and I'm sure it depends when his treatment and how well he recuperates from the surgery as well. The one is that he has said and officials have said to me that he's planning to be back in Yemen before the presidential elections on February 21.
Mullins: Were there any conditions put on his visit here to the United States by Washington?
Kasinof: I haven't heard of any conditions. I mean it wouldn't surprise me if there were some back room deals going on, but the United States government has been very specific that he is going for medical treatment and then he will return to Yemen.
Mullins: Why would Washington allow him in at all? This is a man who's accused of attacking his own people, who did not have a stellar legacy for the entire time that he was in office. Why bring him here at all for treatment?
Kasinof: I think there's two lines of thought. One is that the United States thinks that it would be beneficial for him to be out of the country right now, and if there's a way for that to happen, the Vice President, his deputy who now is the de facto president and who will officially be president after February 21, or at least that's the plan, he definitely has more freedom of movement and he really sort of steps up more when Saleh is out of the country. And that happened this past summer when Saleh was in Saudi Arabia after the bomb attack in June. The other is more of a diplomatic reason and that is that Saleh is the only Arab dictator who has sort of been, unlike Assad, and unlike Gaddafi, and unlike Mubarak, he has cooperated with the international community, with this internationally brokered plan for political transition to happen. That said, the United States still wants him to cooperate with this plan for a political transition and so he does need surgery, he does need surgery outside of Yemen and at a good facility. And so the United States think that if they would give him this, he would continue to cooperate with the United States and with the international community when it comes to political transition in Yemen, because at the end of the day transition in Yemen and sort of getting Yemen out of the stalemate that it currently finds itself in is beneficial for the world because of the extent to which the country has fallen apart during the political stalemate.
Mullins: Laura, is there any guarantee that he will not try to resume the presidency when he gets back to Yemen?
Kasinof: Other than the fact that the world is now watching and he did sign a plan that said that he would hand over power, and after February 21 there would be a new president of Yemen, are there any back room guarantees? I don't know, but he signed a deal. It was brokered by the international community that he would hand over power on February 21. So if he isn't going to do that he's definitely going to isolate himself from the international community.
Mullins: All right, Laura Kasinof, freelance journalist based in Sanaa, Yemen, speaking to us now from Washington, DC, thank you, Laura.
Kasinof: Thanks for having me.

REFILE-AIRSHOW-Bombardier could extend COMAC accord to building jets in China JV -exec
(Corrects byline, adds Beijing dateline)
By Fang Yan and Matthew Miller
ZHUHAI, China/BEIJING Nov 12 (Reuters) - Canada's Bombardier Inc could design and build passenger jets in China as an extension of a two-year-old development and sales deal with the country's main state-owned planemaker, a senior executive told Reuters.
When the first phases of the 2012 accord with Commercial Aircraft Corp of China (COMAC) are complete, it may be natural to "do something more", said Mike Arcamone, president of Bombardier's commercial aircraft division. That could step up competition with Airbus and Boeing.
"We are thinking long-term in China," Arcamone said, speaking late on Tuesday on the sidelines of China's largest air show in Zhuhai. "One day we might decide to do a project together, a joint venture...Right now, we are only talking about collaboration."
Bombardier is currently working with COMAC to develop common systems for both its own 150-seat CSeries plane and the Chinese firm's long-awaited C919 narrow-bodied jet. The pair are working on cockpit and electrical systems, as well as the supply chain for the CSeries and the C919.
Behind schedule but due to be the first Chinese-built single-aisle commercial aircraft and racking up orders from domestic clients, the C919 will join with the CSeries in competing with the Airbus A320 and Boeing's 737, in different market segments.
"The CSeries is smaller than the C919, they really do not compete head to head. There is always going to be some small overlap, but generally they are more complementary as a fleet mix," said Andy Solem, Bombardier's vice-president for sales in North Asia.
Bombardier has 243 firm orders for the CSeries, which can also take up to 180 passengers in a high-density variant aimed primarily at low-cost carriers. COMAC has orders for 430 C919s, mostly from domestic firms, though its first test flight has now been pushed back to 2015 from 2014. Continued...

A teen shot and killed a home intruder Sunday night, stopping a theft in progress and sending the intruder's accomplices scurrying, said Sheriff Martin Pace.
Found dead in front of a mobile home in South Warren County was Jonathan Bruce, 21, 3341 Sunnybrook Drive in Jackson, said Coroner Doug Huskey.
Bruce had been shot once with a .410 shotgun and had stumbled out of the mobile home, Pace said.
The teen, who was not identified, was not arrested or charged. Pace said details of the investigation will be presented to the district attorney, but it appeared the shooting -- Warren County's first homicide of the year -- will be deemed justifiable.
Pace said the adults who lived in the home where Bruce was shot made a living as street vendors. He said Bruce and two other men had forced their way into the mobile home at 25 Red Oak Drive about 7 p.m. after inquiring about purchasing shoes. The teen and several other juveniles were alone when the trio entered.
Pace said after the men got inside, they started "loading up merchandise" until the teen got a shotgun and fired it at Bruce, who had a handgun in his pocket. After being shot, Bruce turned and walked out onto the lawn, where he was found when deputies arrived. The other men fled in a sedan.
Pace said Warren County officers were working with counterparts in the Jackson Police Department to identify Bruce's companions, said to have been in a white sedan without a tag.
The City of Vicksburg recorded 10 homicides in 2007. Until the next-to-the-last night of the year, Warren County outside Vicksburg had recorded none.

Thats another one we won't have to worry about. Mike, one of the most popular shotguns for home defense is the 20 guage Coach Gun. Shorter than most shotguns for easier handling and the 20 has less kick and flash. Being a double barrel its always ready for two quick shots.
Its a shame that youth is wasted on the young.
410 will do the trick just fine. Its important to understand there is little power difference between 410/20/12 gauge. These numbers we commonly see are about the size of payload, not power.

Polysilicon films have growing importance in the semiconductor fabrication art, particularly in the silicon gate technology which is employed in the fabrication of many MOS integrated circuits. In this technology, silicon dioxide films have been grown as intermediate insulators for double or higher level polysilicon devices for CCDs and random access memories. For another related application see the V. L. Rideout article "Double Polysilicon Dynamic Memory Cell With Polysilicon Bit Line", pp. 3828-31, IBM-TDB, Vol. 21, No. 9, February 1979. However, this technology has encountered inter-polysilicon layer shorts (in the double polysilicon process) which constitutes one of the major yield detractors in the resultant semiconductor devices. Until recently it has been believed that the quality of silicon oxides grown on the polysilicon gates governed the reliability of these devices.
In the accompanying drawings forming a material part of this disclosure:
FIG. 1 is a schematic fragmentary sectional view illustrating a layered portion of a desired construction of a device fabricated by the double and/or higher level polysilicon technology.
FIGS. 2A to 2C are schematic fragmentary sectional views illustrating the development of interpoly shorts resulting from microvoids (μvoids) and/or microcracks (μcracks) defects in deposited polysilicon structures.
FIGS. 3A to 3F are Transmission Electron Micrographs (TEM) of non-monocrystalline silicon layers deposited at various temperatures.
FIGS. 4A to 4C are schematic fragmentary sectional views illustrating the development of the novel polycrystalline layers of this invention.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
FIG. 1 shows a desired construction of a portion of layered structure formed for the double and higher level polysilicon technology.
As shown the structure is comprised of a monocrystalline silicon substrate 1 which is normally oxidized to provide an overlying dielectric or insulating layer 2 represented as a gate SiO2 in the figure. It is to be understood that although the silicon substrate is shown, for purposes of illustration of the invention, to be substantially undoped and without regions or pockets of different conductivity determining impurity types and concentration, that normally in the practice of the invention the substrate can be expected to have such regions conventional in integrated circuit devices which is inclusive of active and passive devices as well as means for isolating the devices from each other.
Deposited on the gate oxide 2, is a layer of polycrystalline silicon (indicated as a polysilicon field shield 3) which may optionally be doped or undoped, and designated in the drawing as Poly I. Heretofore, the conventional practice of depositing polysilicon layers was by decomposition of silane (with in-situ or post deposition doping to desired conductivities) to the required thickness (e.g. about 2000 to 6000 angstroms) at a temperature of 600� to 650� C., mostly at around 620� C. The silicon deposited on an oxide covered silicon substrate by decomposition of silane at temperatures of 580� C. to 650� C., which is commonly used in silicon gate and double polysilicon processes for LSI/VLSI, has a pseudocrystalline structure. The pseudocrystalline structure means that the silicon atoms do not have the periodicity of normal silicon crystal lattice. The silicon atoms are disordered and their interatomic distances are larger than the normal silicon crystal lattice parameter. The TEM pictures shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B represent the disordered structure of a ten second silicon deposit of 600� C. and 650� C. respectively. The silicon structure is featureless and essentially amorphous. Even the 700� C. and 800� C. ten second silicon deposits show little crystalline structure in FIGS. 3C and 3D respectively. FIG. 3E shows the TEM picture of a 900� C. ten second silicon deposit which is still only partially crystallized. The pseudocrystalline silicon has high internal stress. In subsequent hot processing such as diffusion, oxidation and/or annealing, the silicon atoms shift from their disordered positions into the ordered lattice sites around their respective nucleus. Since the interatomic distance of crystalline silicon is shorter than the pseudocrystalline silicon, the crystallization creates structural contraction. As a result, microcracks and microvoids can form in the silicon films. Shorts developed during subsequent processing (e.g. metallization) can be largely attributed to the presence of microcracks and microvoids.
An isolation layer 4 of SiO2 is then deposited over the polysilicon field shield 3 by the thermal decomposition (CVD) of silane in an oxidizing atmosphere such as the presence of oxygen in an inert carrier gas. This CVD oxide is indicated as CVD Oxide I. The thickness of this CVD oxide layer 4 can vary in accordance with processing requirements which illustratively may be in the range of about 2000 to about 8000 angstroms. The foregoing is a typical processing sequence for formation of a single level polysilicon device.
In the fabrication of double and higher level polysilicon devices, a second layer 5 of polysilicon, illustratively of about 2000 to about 6000 angstroms, is deposited on the insulation oxide layer 4. This second polysilicon layer 5 is also indicated in the drawings as Poly II and will normally be doped, e.g. with phosphorous.
As shown in the drawings a third layer 6 of silicon dioxide is deposited over the second polysilicon layer 5, by the pyrolytic deposition techniques. This third oxide layer 6 is also indicated as CVD Oxide II, and illustratively may be in a thickness range of about 4000 to about 12000 angstroms.
The presence of microcracks and microvoids in the polysilicon films or layer on developing interlayer shorts is illustrated in FIGS. 2A to 2C. These microcracks or voids may not necessarily generate shorts. However, the presence of the microcracks and/or voids exposes the insulator oxide layer 4 under the microcracks and/or microvoids 7. During the doping of the Polysilicon II layer 5 (e.g. diffusion with POCl3), the exposed oxide 10, under the μcracks and/or voids, converts into a phospho-silicate glass (PSG). In subsequent etching (e.g. with buffered hydrofluoric acid, BHF), as for opening contact windows or vias 11, the PSG or oxide 10 under the μ-crack/μ-void 7 is also etched, and hence, extending the μ-crack/μ-void 7 into and through the insulator oxide layer 4 (CVD Oxide I) as a tunnel or gap 12. During metallization (e.g. for contact 13 utilizing conventional photolithographic techniques with resist 14), the extended micro cracks/μ-voids 7/12 are filled with metal to form the short path extension 14 of the contact metallization 13.
In the manner indicated above, μ-cracks/μ-voids e.g. 7, in the polysilicon, e.g. layer 5 constitute a major factor in generating poly to poly shorts (e.g. from polysilicon layer 5 to polysilicon layer 3. In accordance with this invention it has been found that by proper control of the nucleation and growth of polysilicon films or layers, μ-cracks/μ-voids can be virtually eliminated. The process of this invention for growing μ-crack/μ-void free polysilicon films and layers comprises, in its broad context, the formation, under controlled conditions and, on a compatible supporting substrate, a discrete amorphous silicon layer or film which is annealed to convert the amorphous silicon layer to its polycrystalline form 21A, followed by epitaxially extending the crystal grains, of the polycrystalline layer 21A, to the desired thickness 22, to form the desired novel polysilicon layer 23.
More specifically, the invention will be described with respect to the fabrication of CCD and random access memories, a fragmentary portion of which may be represented in FIGS. 2A to 2C taken in conjunction with FIG. 1 and FIGS. 4A to 4C for purposes of explanation. Also the invention will be described with reference to an intermediate structure fabricated up to the insulator oxide layer 4 with its sequential understructure of the field polysilicon layer 3, the thermally grown gate oxide 2 on a P-type silicon substrate 1. In this intermediate structure the gate oxide 2 may illustratively have a thickness of about 500 angstroms, with field polysilicon layer 3 having illustratively a thickness in the range of about 2500 to about 4000 angstroms.
In the continuing processing in accordance with this invention a thin continuous amorphous silicon film (see element 21, FIG. 4A) having a thickness less than about 1000 A (angstrom), and preferably in the range of about 300 to about 500 A and optionally 500 A, is deposited by chemical vapor deposition on the insulator oxide layer 4, at a temperature of about 550� to about 600� C., and preferably from about 580� to about 600� C. The resultant initial amorphous silicon structure, deposited at 600� C. is shown in the Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) of FIG. 3A. For purposes of comparison, additional TEMs are shown for CVD deposited silicon (on SiO2, insulator oxide layer 4) at 650� C. (FIGS. 3B and 3F), at 700� C. (FIG. 3C), at 800� C. (FIG. 3D) and at 900� C. (FIG. 3E), in illustration of the difference in the deposited films at the various temperatures.
Next, the structure, e.g. in Poly II layer 5 of FIG. 1, is put through an anneal cycle (normally in-situ in the deposition chamber) at a temperature of about 780� C. to about 800� C., preferably at the upper 800� C. limit, to transform the amorphous silicon into a fine equiaxial crystalline silicon (e.g. element 21A, FIG. 4B). The crystallized silicon grains usually have grain sizes equivalent to the amorphous film-thicknesses, i.e. about 500 A grain size for 500 A thick films and 300 A grain size for 300 A thick films. The heating time required for crystallization is about 20 to about 40 minutes. The equiaxial grain structure means that the grains are in their stable state, wherein further heating will cause little change in grain structure. The crystallized silicon layer will serve as a seed layer in subsequent deposition.
It may be noted that during crystallization of the initial amorphous silicon film, microcracks/microvoids may form due to the fact that the interatomic distance of the crystal silicon is usually smaller than that of the amorphous silicon. However, these microcracks/voids will be filled during subsequent film growth.
In the next operation, the temperature is reduced to about 680� to about 700� C., preferably 700� C., and the CVD deposition of silicon is resumed onto the fine grained polycrystalline seed layer 21A (FIG. 4B) to build up the film thickness 22 (FIG. 4C), e.g. illustratively about 3000 to about 6000 A, to form the novel polysilicon layer 23 (FIG. 4C) as required or desired for integrated circuit applications, e.g. the Poly II layer 5 of FIG. 1 and FIGS. 2A to 2C.
The deposition temperature must be sufficiently high to continue the substrate crystalline structure 21A, FIG. 4B, in an epi-like extension in the vertical direction but not enough to have lateral grain growth.
As indicated, the grain growth in the vertical direction is an epitaxial-like extension of the polycrystalline silicon seed layer grain structure, while in the lateral direction, it must interfere with the neighboring grain growth, thus requiring more energy.
The novel/modified polycrystalline films 23 (21A/22) grown in accordance with this invention as described above, will have fine grains and will be virtually free of μ-cracks/μ-voids. This fine grain structure is also desirable because the film asperity is small which results in reduced poly/poly breakdown voltage degradation, e.g. between the Poly I layer 3 and the Poly II layer 5. The films are free of μ-cracks/μ-voids because the asgrown, films have stable equiaxial grain structure which will resist structural changes even if the films are heated to 1000� C. It may be noted that the crystallization temperature of 800� C. (for the amorphous silicon film 21, FIG. 4A) is much higher than the required minimum crystallization (anneal) temperature of about 650� C. The purpose here is to develop the film structure into stable equi-axial grains, where the crystallized grains are to later act as seed during subsequent silicon deposition.
It is further noted that the second or final CVD silicon deposition (e.g. for the epi-like extension 22, FIG. 4B), the temperature is lowered to 680�-700� C., which is again higher than the minimum polysilicon deposition temperature. Deposition at 680�-700� C. assures that the internal stress of the grown grains will be sufficiently low so that, in subsequent heatings, little grain growth will occur. On the other hand, this deposition temperature is sufficiently low so that the deposition will extend the seed structure in the vertical direction only with relatively little in the lateral direction, thus to limit the lateral grain growth during the deposition.
While the invention has been illustrated and described with respect to preferred embodiments of the invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the precise construction herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Even Rutgers 7-foot center Hamady Ndiaye totaling four points in 32 minutes against a team with no one taller than 6-8 wasn't something Hill thought warranted much discussion.
Hill's focus was elsewhere, like the horrific mental approach of the Scarlet Knights, who allowed a downtrodden Division II school to hang around until the final few minutes.
On a night in which Rutgers didn't charge fans to get into the game, the Scarlet Knights avoided a total embarrassment by eking out a 70-62 win Tuesday in front of 1,108 at the Rutgers Athletic Center. Afterward, no one was talking like the win held meaning, especially since Caldwell (3-19) is not even a mid-level Division II team.
"I can't look at this and say there's anything bothersome,'' Hill said. "It's the mentality that we approached the game with. You can look at any statistic you want. They're irrelevant to me. It's the mentality, and that is the most important thing.
"That was the challenge, which is a difficult challenge, and we didn't step up and meet that challenge, but we did win the ball game.''
Sophomore guard Mike Rosario, who scored 25 points, summarized Rutgers' approach to the evening.
"I don't understand why Caldwell is on our schedule, in the middle of our season,'' Rosario said. "I don't know who put that together.''
Rutgers (12-12) is at .500 later in the season than any time during Hill's four-year tenure, and the 12 wins are the most in Hill's career.
However, this wasn't the way Rutgers wanted to enter its Sunday meeting with No. 8 Georgetown.
Rather than get playing time for reserves Patrick Jackson, Austin Johnson and even some of the walk-ons, four starters played at least 32 minutes.
"We didn't play the game the way we should have,'' said junior power forward Jonathan Mitchell, who scored 14 points and had seven rebounds. "We didn't come out and take it as a learning experience and grow. We kind of just saw the jerseys in front of us and played to the level of our competition.
"We underestimated them and took them too lightly. They came out and gave us a game. …I didn't expect to play 30-something minutes. Me, being one of the leaders, I kind of took them lightly.''
Mitchell logged 36 minutes, James Beatty and Rosario each played 35 minutes and Ndiaye played 32 minutes.
Against a Caldwell zone, Rutgers lazily settled for perimeter shots rather than attack via the dribble or passing into the high post.
It led to the Scarlet Knights attempting 28 3-point shots (making 11), and 24 shots from inside the arc. Rutgers also turned the ball over 16 times, and allowed Caldwell to snare 15 offensive rebounds.
"The challenge, and that is what we talked to our guys about, is that you have to play against the game. You can't play against Caldwell College,'' Hill said. "Obviously, you're more talented, you're better, but when you don't play with the same enthusiasm, the passion, the defensive pride that allows you to compete and do certain things, these are typically tough games."
Caldwell led 18-17 with 7:20 remaining in the first half before Rosario countered with a 3-pointer on Rutgers' next possession.
The Scarlet Knights led 37-31 at the half, but saw their lead trimmed to 39-35 with 16:50 left in the second half on Austin's lay-in. A 3-pointer by Austin two minutes later cut it to 43-41 before the Scarlet Knights went on a run.
Back-to-back 3-pointers from Mitchell pushed Rutgers' lead to 53-43, and the Cougars did not challenge again.
"It's a game that if you come out with the right mentality, you hope you can get some guys some playing time and rest your starters,'' Hill said. "I was hoping if we could get away with our starters playing 18 to 22 minutes, I would have been very happy with getting other guys in.''
That didn't happen, but Rosario said he never had the feeling Caldwell could win the game.
"I didn't feel like we were going to lose,'' Rosario said, "because I was going to take over.''
