Legislative changes beginning in 2011, directs the Oregon Department of Energy to close down the Business Energy Tax Credit program. House Bills 3672 (2011) and 4079 (2012) created BETC sunset dates:
For facility owners, unable to identify a pass-through partner, ODOE issued tax credit certificates on Dec. 28, 2012. These facility owners may transfer their tax credits, using the transfer process by submitting the paper work and fee when a transferee has been identified. A facility owner may find their own transferee, or ask ODOE to assist in locating one; however, ODOE cannot guarantee locating a transferee.
Once the facility owner identifies a transferee, the owner must submit to ODOE:
This sunset date is for facility owners who showed proof of beginning construction per ORS 315.357 and OAR 330-090-0160. Owners must submit a final application before the preliminary certificate expires, or the program sunsets, whichever comes first.
A facility owner may use the pass-through process to transfer the tax credit before the program sunsets. ODOE charges a fee for this service and requires owners to pay the fee before a pass-through can occur.
Facility owners who plan to work with a third party intermediary, please complete the notice of intent form.
ODOE is starting the rulemaking process to clarify 2014 sunset deadlines, the transfer process and make permanent the Nov. 16, 2012 temporary rule that defines tax credit "use."
Although the 2011 Oregon Legislature replaced BETC with the new Energy Incentives Program, rulemaking is needed for ODOE to carry out obligations to BETC participants before the program ends in 2014. The public hearing on this is April 24, 2013. For more information: 2013 BETC Rulemaking

3 Questions from the Community
How wide is the fitter
Can you use CFL bulbs in this fixture?
Is the centre round cover called the fitter? If so, is it really only 2 1/2 " wide as that would barely cover the elecrtical box?
A. A fitter is the lip-shaped part of the shade that slips into the fixture and is held in place by fitter screws. Common fitter sizes (diameters) are 2¼", 3¼", 4" and 6". The fitter and shade holder sizes are the determining factors in pairing fixtures with shades. I believe you are referring to the cover plate which is approximately five inches.

I used two of these. One over each sink in a master bath. After shopping all the big box stores and not finding the quality I wanted I decided to do some internet shopping. I love these lights! They are of excellent quality! The shades are excellent quality alabaster glass and the base truly chrome. Worth the money!

Something I used to hear frequently back when I used to work in retail:"Working in retail would be great if it weren't for the customers."
The manager comes over and says well the price was so close they probably didn't bother to change it in the system. Um $7 is not close to $4 especially when buying a couple of bottles. She was very rude and acted like I was inconsiderate and annoying for wanting to get the $6 back they over charged me.
If it were me, I wouldn't devote any more energy or emotion to it and just write them off as undeserving of any more of your time.

Wilkes County Sheriff's Office deputies on Friday afternoon apprehended and arrested a North Wilkesboro man who has been charged with murdering a woman and a boy.
Jason Ryan Pardue, 33, of 2642 Statesville Road, North Wilkesboro, has been charged with two counts of murder, two counts of 1st degree sex offense with a minor under 13, and one count of incest. He was taken into custody at about 2 p.m.
The bodies of a woman and a boy were found in a North Wilkesboro home on Friday morning.
The Wilkes County Sheriff's Office began to receive reports on Thursday of two missing persons: Kelly Marie Pruitt, 33; and her son, Kevin Michael Hurley, 8.
Neither one of them had been seen since or about March 8, 2013, according to a sheriff's office release.
During the investigation into the missing persons cases, the Wilkes County Sheriff's Office and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation served a search warrant at the victim's residence located at 2642 Statesville Road, North Wilkesboro, in the early morning on Friday.
During the search, the deceased bodies of Kelly Pruitt and her son Kevin Hurley were located, according to the release. Pruitt's apparent cause of death was the result of multiple stab wounds, the release said. Evidence located at the scene suggests Kevin Hurley's death was the result of suffocation. An exact cause of death will be determined by autopsy, the release said.

hello huwyngr
thanks for your continued courteous patience with me...
I was (somewhat) confused by your earlier informational post (10/06/09) in this thread re Norton Removal Tool and Service Framework as this thread is re Norton Bootable Recovery Tool. Sometimes, I am slow to comprehend and quick to assume.
Guess, I was trying to fit square peg in round hole....expecting all doc's to always be presented in a Norton standardized format similar to the Norton Removal Tool doc. Reasonable ...but, Unrealistic.
Guess, I was blaming my 250MB download issue on the doc. If the doc was lacking in a standardized presentation format then the associated download app would be somehow lacking (250MB vs. 300MB).
As was pointed out ...the troubleshooting becomes an issue when for some it will and for some it won't.
I was trying to find the correct doc page and link that will allow 300MB... thinking issue is server side... as FTP server timeout suggests server side. Maybe my transfer rate is just too slow so FTP server times out.
You and others have pointed me to downloaders suggesting issue is user side. I have tried two FF add-on downloaders with 250MB results. No change from FF built in downloader.
Thank you again for your continued patient courteous support...seems silly for me to get frustrated over this issue while others are experiencing Infections and Product Install difficulties.
as always respectfully submitted
Actually you are not the only one to be confused! I was the one who mixed the two NRT items which is why they put the B in the Recovery Tool!
Sorry about that.
In haste .....

There is another anomalous characteristic in the FTP site, and it's happened twice in the downloading of the NBRT ISO file. The pix here tells the story:
Look at the last line. The story is: "I have received the entire file, but the transmission is not completed and not terminated." The "Left" column (time left) has reached zero, yet the transfer is still taking place and the size of the file is still increasing.
The second to last line tells the same story: the file size continued to grow until I manually stopped the transmission, at a filesize of 581.51 MB.
There's something wrong in the flow control communication or in the handshaking protocol used.
At this writing, the transmission in the last line concluded its transmission on its own with a filesize of 490.44 MB. I don't think that's the correct size.

Thanks for the update. Downloaded NIS file - no problems! Saved OK / Burned OK / Boots OK / & even Updates OK. Also noted .iso image size has changed. Now includes updated defs to 10/03/09. Not sure if servers had extra traffic - but download was even slower than the original ftp site link. Started faster but soon came to crawl. ZZZzzzzzz
Thanks again.
edit - spelling
Thanks for the feedback. It could have been server traffic, we'll keep an eye on that. Glad the ISO downloaded and burned etc... correctly.
When I downloaded this, it was 3 times faster than at the FTP site.
I also had nary a problem with the ISO. The earlier ISO downloads from FTP were all corrupt. Received filesize is 300.5 MB

In SQL Server 2012, you now have the choice between doing a cube in MOLAP or Tabular mode. This Whiteboard Wednesday shows you the benefit and cons to each of these modes.
Navigating through the array of Microsoft visualization tools can be quite difficult. In this video, Devin Knight and Brian Knight show the pros and cons of each of the tools and the appropriate time to use each. There is of course lots of grey area in your selection.
We also refer to a decision matrix Excel spreadsheet in the video. You can find that attached here: Reporting Decision Matrix
Until next time, Brian Knight
Each and every Wednesday Pragmatic Works is excited to bring you Whiteboard Wednesday, a discussion on patterns, best practices or rants about our industry. In this first video, you'll see some of the top visualization mistakes that people make in building reports. At a glance those are:
These are of course a subset of many of the issues. Let us know if you can think of others in the comments section below. This topic is part of the our Master's SSRS class, given monthly.
Until next time! Brian Knight
This week, the new quarterly update was release of BI xPress was released. The release had over a hundred improvements in it but I wanted to highlight 3 of the neater ones. There are also a lot of down payments in this release that will show themselves in a spring release. If you already have BI xPress, the release is a free update if you're under maintenance. These are just a small fraction of the BI xPress overall features. For more information, see the entire product feature list here.
Free Trial Download Compare Editions
Every report in the monitoring console has been redeveloped in WPF, giving it better performance and interactivity. View packages running live and view errors while they occur in a visual method. You can also stack packages side-by-side to see the all run at the same time.
Update 2 – SSIS Catalog Import
The SSIS catalog import tool will enable users to import native performance and execution data from a 2012 SSIS catalog to the BI xPress auditing database. This will make it possible for users to view execution data for packages that do not have the auditing framework. It allows you to combine multiple server's auditing information into a single view.
While BI xPress has add-ins into the Visual Studio environment, you can now also use the Pragmatic Workbench to launch all the components. You can now customize the look and feel of the workbench's metro interface.
While we do offer in-person training around the country, we also offer live virtual instruction from our top consultants in the field. So, when does it make sense to go virtual versus in-person?
See our Upcoming Virtual Training Classes. This January, you will receive an additional $200 off any training class that you book in 2013.
There are draw-backs of course. If your co-workers can't leave you alone if you're in the office, it's best to be in-person training instead of virtual but be aware of the differences in cost. Our in-person training is offered in bootcamp-style or workshop style around the country (schedule here: http://www.pragmaticworks.com/LearningCenter/Bootcamps.aspx).
When you first unbox a fresh SQL Server environment or place a new application on a SQL Server, there are a number of hurdles that you may have to watch out for. These common pitfalls usually include:
This video below features Jason Strate. He's one of our Sr DBAs who also does assessments. If you'd like to see more about assessments in your environment, check out our offerings here.
As part of our assessment we will review:
· Database design and index usage
· Query performance
· Potential system bottlenecks
· SQL Server's IO responsiveness
· Microsoft Best Practices for environment and system configuration
· And more!
Extended events in SQL Server allow you to trap certain events like errors or informational messages and log them so you can react to them. They're especially critical to learn them now since they are the replacement for important tools like SQL Profiler. In this video, Jason Strate walks you through some of the cases when you'd use them.
The last thing you want to do is truncate and load your data when your synchronizing two tables. In this video Bradley Schacht and Brian Knight white board some of the common patterns and approaches to incremental loads in SQL Server.

Upcoming SSIS Masters Workshops:
We're adding a few new workshops every month to our learning center section on the site here. Don't want to travel? No problem, we also offer many more classes online like MDX, DBA, SharePoint and others.
Let us know which method you prefer to do in the comments section.
Thanks so much for the people all that came to the data cleansing session we did at PASS. We covered data cleansing using Data Quality Services (DQS), Master Data Services (MDS), scripting and deduplication with Fuzzy Grouping. The code downloads are now available for the project we used here:

Free & Open Source license
Display GPS raw data, position, speed, compass, tracking and more.
This application shows raw data from the GPS subsystem including GPS position, altitude and movement. It further offers a speedometer, a compass, a GPS track recording tool and gives you diagrams of height and speed profiles.
Author | Tim Teulings |
Essential app to check the quality of the GPS fix. Thanks.
This is a fine app, my main problem with it is that on "Diagrams" you may only register for 12 minutes. The screen doesnt scroll...
could anyone please give me quick guide about how to export a recorded track so that i can save it as a .KML file? for some reason this doesnt work for me.
This is a really essential app, especially since OVI Maps gives no feedback about the quality of a GPS fix. It would be nice to have a page on it plotting the Az, and El. of each satellite which is above the horizon.
Thanks for this great app! Great in particular to have time now at the highest precision (every 5 seconds), it might be a nice extension to have the clock set by the program by just pressing another button! The compass however does not really work well for me - it is even more erratic and unstable than a real one. (Luckily, the orrery program offers a very good compass under a clear sky.) At any rate, the application should of course be found under "Location and Navigation" instead of "Mulitmedia"!
Really really useful app! The interface lacks a bit but the app is essential for every gps-enabled device. Perhaps you could add a satellite view a'la maemomapper (now know as "mapper"), showing their location at the sky.

Senator Wants Kansas College Hoops Teams to Play
Associated Press - Wed 06:21 AM 02/06/2013
A state senator wants the University of Kansas and Kansas State men's basketball teams to play Wichita State each year.
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A state senator wants the University of Kansas and Kansas State men's basketball teams to play Wichita State each year before the three schools begin conference play.
Republican Sen. Michael O'Donnell, of Wichita, introduced legislation Tuesday requiring the two Big 12 schools to do just that starting in 2014.
Wichita State plays in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Shockers last met Kansas in 1993, losing to the Jayhawks 103-43.
Kansas State and Wichita State last played in 2003. The Wildcats won that game 54-50 in Manhattan.
O'Donnell's bill would let the schools decide where the mandatory nonconference games would be played.
Comments must stay on topic and be respectful. Comments that are personal attacks, make unfounded accusations, or are for the purpose of "trolling" or inciting others will be removed. Offending users will have their profile suspended.

Micheal O'Donnell's political campaign touted how he wants to cut wasteful spending; Now we see he wants to waste time by attempting to introduce legislation for something like this? I hope people are contacting Micheal O'Donnell to remind him why he is in the position he is in. This type of work surely isn't it.

So many states trying to pass laws to kick the Feds out of meddling in states rights. No, our Government hasn't taken power grabs over the states?
Wednesday 6 February 2013 09:54 Report this comment
Are you kidding??? Our Kansas senators have this state running so smoothly that our biggest concern right now is to pass legislation to force Kansas colleges to play each other in sports. WOW!! What great leaders we have!!!
Wednesday 6 February 2013 12:48 Report this comment
What a complete waste of time Mr O'Donnell. Are you kidding me with this? You will be remembered for wasting time while there are so many meaningful things that NEED to be taken care of.
Wednesday 6 February 2013 13:05 Report this comment
So Wichita State wants to get their butts kicked 2 times every season. Seems to me that is pretty stupid. Even the best Wicita State team will not beat Kansas or K-State unless both of those programs hit rock bottom which is unlikely to occur. Maybe this state senator needs to be sent back home and someone else elected.
Thursday 7 February 2013 08:06 Report this comment
I guess since Mr O' Donnell is a Kansas senator he is allowed to mettle with college sports programs, especailly regarding state funded colleges. However, there has to be better ways to spend his time rather than trying to find schools that will play WSU? Our taxes are out of control, fuel is outrageous, don't get me started on health care......

Boris launches election campaign in Richmond (From Your Local Guardian)

Twickenham station raised as Boris launches election campaign in Richmond
8:57am Thursday 12th April 2012 in Richmond By Rachel Bishop
Boris Johnson launched his re-election campaign in Richmond this week, in his typical comical style.
The official launch was held at Duke Street Church in Richmond town centre on Tuesday, April 10, with Boris then taking to the streets with his blue T-shirt-clad team to talk to residents and hand out leaflets.
London Assembly Member for the south-west and Richmond councillor, Tony Arbour and North Kingston and Richmond MP Zac Goldsmith accompanied Boris on Tuesday, giving praising speeches to welcome the London Mayor.
Coun Arbour said: "It's entirely appropriate that Boris should be launching his manifesto here. We have been great beneficiaries from the Boris administration."
Mr Goldsmith said: "We are backing someone who made promises four years ago and he is delivering them."
The controversial Twickenham station decision was brought up at the launch, following a question from a member of the audience, asking what Boris thought of high-rise developments throughout London.
Boris responded: "I see no reason why high-rise building should be pedal pounded around London.
"Where they can work is transport hubs – there is good cause for going high."
He then added: "I am not for just plonking them in the back gardens of the city. When they come to me – I reject them."
Yet following the speech, when questioned on the station decision, and despite repeated questions from residents, he said: "I believe that was a council decision. It was the council that was keen to do it."
Many residents said they would not vote for Boris after he did not intervene with the proposals from Solum Regeneration, for the redevelopment of Twickenham station.
Sherland Road resident Julie Hill said: "Boris has been a huge disappointment to the great many people of Twickenham and station users who opposed the high-rise Solum scheme.
"I am so disappointed with Boris and am in two minds as to whether to even bother voting for a Mayor at all."
During the speech on Tuesday, Boris acknowledged that every vote counted in this election and said "this election is about trust".
When addressing the promise to provide the Routemaster buses with conductors, which Ken Livingstone had previously said he was going to bring in, Boris said: "I not only keep my promises, I keep the ones he broke."
At the launch, the audience cheered the Conservative candidate as he made his speech in his famous jokey manner, but also told of the things he had done in his four years as London Mayor.
One of the biggest things, he said, was to cut his portion of council tax across London, benefitting 13,325 Richmond homes, after freezing the Mayor's precept for three successive years.
According to statistics released by the Back Boris campaign, crime and robberies in Richmond had fallen during his mayoral reign. Since May 2008, Richmond had a 13.5 per cent decrease in total crime and a 44 per cent reduction in the number of robberies.
Boris is currently the favourite at bookmaker, Paddy Power, with odds of 2/7, ahead of Labour candidate Ken Livingstone, with odds of 5/2, independent candidate Siobhan Benita at 66/1, Liberal Democrat candidate Brian Paddick at 100/1, while British National Party candidate Carlos Cortiglia had the longest odds of 500/1.

SOURCE Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
TORONTO, March 4, 2013 /CNW/ - A new study by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) shows that alcohol is now the third leading cause of the global burden of disease and injury, despite the fact most adults worldwide abstain from drinking.
This research, part of the 2010 Global Burden of Disease study, was published in this month's issue of the journal Addiction. It also found that Canadians drink more than 50 per cent above the global average.
"Alcohol consumption has been found to cause more than 200 different diseases and injuries," said Kevin Shield, the lead author of the study. "These include not only well-known outcomes of drinking such as liver cirrhosis or traffic accidents, but also several types of cancer, such as female breast cancer."
The study reports the amount and patterns of alcohol consumption by country for 2005, and calculates estimates for these figures for 2010.It reveals vast differences by geographical region in the numbers of people who consume alcohol, the amount they drink, and general patterns of drinking. Some other findings:
The global burden of disease and injury attributable to alcohol is large and growing. In 2010, it was responsible for 5.5 per cent of this overall burden, third after high blood pressure and tobacco smoking, among 67 risk factors overall.
This study summarizes the results from population surveys, sales or production data, and data on alcohol consumption not covered in official records, from all countries, territories and regions.
Researchers also found that almost 30 per cent of alcohol consumed in 2005 was "unrecorded" alcohol - referring to alcohol not intended for consumption, home-brewed alcohol, and illegally produced alcohol. In some regions, unrecorded alcohol constituted more than half of all alcohol consumed.
"The amount of unrecorded alcohol consumed is a particular problem, as its consumption is not impacted by public health alcohol policies, such as taxation, which can moderate consumption," said Dr. Jürgen Rehm, a study author and director of CAMH's Social and Epidemiological Research Department.
"Improving alcohol control policies presents one of the greatest opportunities to prevent much of the health burden caused by alcohol consumption," said Dr. Shield. "To improve these policies, information on how much alcohol people are consuming, and how people are consuming alcohol is necessary, and that is exactly the information this article presents."
The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, as well as one of the world's leading research centres in its field.
CAMH combines clinical care, research, education, policy development and health promotion to help transform the lives of people affected by mental health and addiction issues. CAMH is fully affiliated with the University of Toronto, and is a Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization Collaborating Centre. For more information, please visit www.camh.ca.

Check your label. Chances are you're wearing something made somewhere else. That's because so-called "fast fashion" has outsourced the $3 trillion a year apparel industry to countries like Bangladesh and China, which underpays its workers and allow some of the most dangerous, toxic—and least expensive—means of production in order to provide the American consumer with cheap and disposable goods.
A garment factory building fire that killed more than 900 people in Bangladesh has the industry calling for better regulation of fast fashion. Yet as of today, GAP is still refusing to sign a safety agreement that would require companies to conduct fire and building safety inspections and make the findings public. [Read more...]

DRAWING IN PROCESS : each day, a different artist will showing the audience various approaches to the development of contemporary drawing.
Our vision of the contemporary drawing
Drawing is not the exclusive preserve of any particular form of creativity. It is a mean of expression common to all creators, across all disciplines. That is what makes it so specific. Drawing is not the exclusive preserve of any kind of particular technique. It is the vehicle for a reflection which takes on just the right amount of existence to express itself. That is what characterizes it. Drawing is not the exclusive preserve of any particular type of culture. It is a universal language shared byall peoples, through their history. That is what gives it its identity. A work is only a drawing due to its graphical nature. To such an extent that, whatever the medium, the procedure or the format used, provided that it retains this character it must be considered as such. A drawing is an integral and absolute whole, which owes nothing except to itself, its own space, both physical and mental. It alone defines its place, its scope : it alone marks out its boundaries. The drawing signs the artist. It seals him. Philippe Piguet

Ask A QuestionAre these bats end weighted?
It's not the most balanced bat on the market, but the COMbat Avaritia: AVARFP2 Fastpitch bat is still classified as a balanced bat.
Is this bat ASA approved?
Yes. The COMbat Avaritia: AVARFP2 Fastpitch is ASA approved.
Product Description
COMbat's new Avaritia presents fastpitch players a state of the art multi-piece bat design. This design is centered around COMbat's Handle Isolation Technology (HIT) that uses polymeric visco-elastic dampeners to isolate the ultra-light handle from the high-performance multi-wall barrel. The dampeners stiffen upon impact so that the barrel responds quickly to your swing, but then soften to absorb vibration feedback. Basically this material is able to produce more pop in the barrel while absorbing vibration before it reaches the handle, making this a truly revolutionary technology. The Avaritia features a 100% composite design with Blended Fiber Technology that combines Aramid fibers with carbon and glass to create a material unlike anything else on the market. The durability of the Avaritia is greatly enhanced through COMbat's Nanocomp Technology that uses carbon nanotubes to effectively fill in gaps between fibers. Also present in the Avaritia is Variable Stiffness Technology that lowers the barrel stiffness on each side to create a MONSTER sweet spot! With all of its technology, one thing is for certain, the Avaritia is at the pinnacle of power! COMbat: For Players, By Players! The Avaritia is approved for play in ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA, and ISF. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Yes, I Am.
Thursday, February 23, 2012
#1 The single word that I've been waiting for made me burst into tears.
#2 Picture taken on my birthday, I was 22 weeks.
Sorry for not being able to share this good news with you all sooner, Chean & I want to make sure everything's stable before officially announcing it. I'm 24 weeks (6 months) pregnant now, just went visiting my OB this morning and he ensured that my baby & I are both doing great, also double confirmed that we are expecting a baby G.I.R.L ❤❤
We were told having a baby boy twice on the previous check-ups and I already occupied the baby closet with lots of blue stuffs @.@ Gonna return them and stock it up with girly products this weekend, super eager to do some shopping & to decorate the nursery room. Woo Hoo~~
Now you ask, how come I don't look pregnant at all? Actually not, my burgeoning belly starts to get attention & not-so-serendipitous stare from random strangers, especially when I was pigging out in Cancun... But loose-fitting clothes are definitely the bestest trick :p
Being a first-time mum in oversea really is an unique experience; there's so much to learn, so much to grasp, so much to concern, and so many crucial decisions to make. I shall organize my thoughts and enunciate this wonderful journey later, you know, it's kinda stressful to know that my baby will read my words one day :p
So, do expect to see me and my baby bumps more frequently for the next coming 4 months ❤❤
Warmest Regards,
Preggie Bev

ASML says fast EUV machines coming by 2016
Peter Clarke
LONDON – Eric Meurice, CEO of lithography equipment supplier ASML Holding NV (Veldhoven, The Netherlands), has provided background on the roll out of its next generation extreme ultra violet (EUV) lithography machines and the throughputs customers can expect.
EUV lithography, considered by most of the industry as necessary to allow continued miniaturization of circuits, has been in development for nearly a decade and is still plagued by low power light sources that prevent machines reaching benchmark wafer throughputs in excess of 100 wafers per hour.
Meurice, speaking on a conference call with financial analysts held to discuss the company's somewhat tepid second quarter financial results, provided more EUV information than previously as the company gets close to shipping its NXE:3300 commercial EUV machine. The roll out of the first 11 "process development" machines, capable of handling 300-mm diameter wafers is now expected to be a 2013 event.
While in the short-term ASML is not promising much by way of throughput, possibly as little as 30 wafers per hour by the end of this year Meurice said there is now a roadmap to a throughput of 70 wafers per hour in 2014 and 125 wafers per hour in 2016. As and when customers call for 450-mm capable machines that should provide ASML with about a 10 percent adder on the sales price, Meurice said.
ASML has 11 of the NXE:3300 machines on order but these are now likely to be delivered to customers in 2013, Meurice said. The final integration of the first NXE:3300 at ASML is expected in October or November he added. The NXE:3300 systems shipping in 2013 will only be used for developing manufacturing process technologies, Meurice said but will still result in 800 million euro (about $980 million) of revenue for ASML in 2013.
I'm amazed that ASML can continue to miss scheduled milestones in EUV litho and have any credibility left. I understand that they are not directly responsible for the source problems, the resist issues, the whole EUV mask infrastructure, etc. But forgive me if I don't have much faith in this four year throughput projection. I know ASML believes that 70 wafers per hour is good enough for adoption for high volume manufacturing, but I question that assertion as well.
@any1- I hear you. At a certain point it gets to be like the little boy who cried wolf. But in defense of ASML and everyone involved, what they are attempting to do is really difficult.
Have the pushouts resulted in some tarnished credibility? Probably a little bit. But I don't believe ASML would continue to spend millions of dollars on development and offer new targets for production if they didn't believe they would get there eventually. And I don't think Intel would have opened up its wallet if it wasn't presented with convincing evidence.
On the 70 wafers per hour being good enough, you may be right about that. But from what I heard last year at BACUS, I think that at this point chip makers would be more than happy with that as a starting point. Note that Meurice is now saying 125 wafers per hour by 2016, and that will I am sure be workable.
All this said, I do agree that the jury is still out on EUV.
Yes EUV is difficult - no question. But we've been at this several years now. You would think that at some point the estimates of future progress would become more realistic. Maybe you would even err on the side of caution so you could actually meet a milestone, or heaven forbid even beat one. I like ASML, and I think they make some great products, but ASML has been much more successful at marketing EUV than actually delivering on the technology.
NXE orders can be converted to immersion if all else fails. EUV is reaching the point where single exposure is not enough. In that case it has no advantage over immersion.
except that Intel is already having to think about double-dpouble (quadruple) exposure which ends up being very costly in terms of dwell time on the machine.
But ultimately you may be comparing double exposure EUV that is expensive and quadruple exposure that doesn't work.
There is only one node for "pure" double patterning, then the next is triple, etc. Compare foundry 20 vs 14 nm. So immersion's multiple patterning woes will be visited upon EUV anyway.
Boeing and Airbus planes were amazing feats of engineering some decades ago and are still around today because there is a need for flying. I think an EUV and Ebeam technology can be the semiconductor equivalent. There will always be a need for high volume IC manufacture so who cares if they are late or unable to improve on moore's law. Once they are ready, they will be in operation for decades until some totally new technology comes along.
or why can't we just have 1 e-beam and let it write for ... 1 month? we can have 10000 such machines in parallel and achive same output.
(patent reserved)
2016 should be sub-10 nm already, beyond NXE:3300 resolution. I think there will be multipatterning game-changers ahead.
The 2014 to 2016 are low through and not economical. Even it ASML hits 2016 wafer throughput targets (and there is no track record)...
Not much after 2016 450mm is suppose to come in (per same source ASML)
So I don't get the roadmap. 300mm EUV production for 2016-2018 then 450mm.
No way the industry is going to adopt 300mm EUV for just 2 years. No ecomonic benefit (increases cost not lower it).
Please pin these guys down on what exactly is their credible roadmap they are pushing !
I don't see things quite the way you do.
300-mm EUV will last a lot longer than 2 years.
ASML will start on 300-mm for EUV and then as and when Intel wants it they will (supposedly) also supply EUV machines able to process 450-mm wafers.
But they will carry on with 300-mm EUV because not everyone will move over to 450-mm.
Intel will followed by TSMC and Samsung but others could go 450-mm later.
Peter, we will see.
I just don't see equipment industry supporting 300mm and 450mm at the same node 10nm? for what 4 customers.
1 customer intel on 450?
3 customers on 300?
2 on each?
There is just too much work getting 2 tool to production level quality (particles, process uniformity etc.). Supporting repairs on both tools, etc.
Market is too small to support this double cost (in my opinion)
I think if 450 happens, at say 10nm ..I bet equipment suppliers like ASML will only develop one type of tool for the 10nm node specs.
I found some info on perhaps how equipment vendor see it
"At SemiCon last year, all of the panels and talks on 450mm wafers said the same
thing, the industry is moving there together. Some predicted this would be at 14nm, others are saying 10nm, but no one questioned that the major players would all have to move at once. That panel included high ranking Intel process
personnel as well as other industry giants. If the industry decides that 14nm is the transition point for 450mm, everyone will be making 14nm chips on 450mm wafers, 10nm if that ends up being the consensus. What is clear is that no one will be doing a 450mm wafer a node earlier that the rest.
Why? Because the tools vendors all said that once the crossover point is agreed
upon, they will only make tools for that node that use 450mm wafers, the market
isn't big enough to sustain both 300mm and 450mm variants of the same device. "
It's worse than that, the 2018 tool would have to require overhaul of entire EUV infrastructure. The multilayer has to change, along with its inspection. Definitely not worth it.
Without some sort of technical breakthrough we could hit a wall (the end of Moore's Law) at the 8-10 nm node.
I do agree that is the other wild card industry is not honest about.
Even if all the technical EUV problems are solved, just as likly at 10nm designers may not be able use use metal system (resistance too high) or transistor electrical characteristics too poor to be usable.
I think it is very clear the economic advantage of scaling is diminishing fast.
In fact we already see that at 20nm today. It is not delievering much cost, performance or power improvement over 28nm.
14/10nm can be made but companies that produce chips at these nodes will likly be no better and perhaps worse off than producing chips at 20/28nm.
Materials companies like AZEM are working closely with IC vendors on DSA technologies. By 2015 or 16, DSA may be proven a viable technology to do the job for patterning sub 10nm features.
So what everyone is not getting is the big picture. This is how Moores Law dies. At some point some mundane process step will halt process development which will halt scaling which will ripple throughout the entire tech sector. Because the entire tech sector has relied on more transistors for less power in less space for 60+ years, when this stops, the tech sector will have nothing new to offer customers. The painful consequences of this will become apparent to us all soon. By the way it is interesting Intel appears to be aware of this and is setting up to grap a big chunk of the FPGA and network processor markets among others. See as this unfolds it is better to get a larger share of a shrinking market.
I think many of us are getting the bigger picture that at some point in the next several years Moore's law will likely break from a strictly brute force scaling approach.
Then some "More than Moore" set of technologies has to kick in where simple scaling leaves off. Intel's adoption of the trigate transistor is one example.
Meanwhile, whether more Moore or less Moore, EUV remains SXPL. Soft x-ray projection lithography is still x-ray, despite the EUV nom de plume. If EUV ever gets to 50WPH, it will have a modest role in logic. ASML will happily sell scads of immersion tools for pentuple or sextuple, etc. patterning. Keep an eye on imprint for NVM, either advanced NAND or crossbars. It has a compelling virtue: cheapiness.
The first 11 NXE3300 downgraded from production to development, and four newest for production? Four is hardly enough.

The two all-county players that split time on both sides of the ball this season were just happy to be playing football at the next level standing next to a recently retired head coach that worked tirelessly to get them there.
"You could say a lot of people dropped the ball on these guys," Mike Brill said. "I've spent 30 years trying to find out what colleges look for and it's always a different answer. All I know is these two kids are great players and great individuals. Like I told Winston-Salem State a couple years ago when they signed four of my kids, there are guys you sign based on potential and football knowledge and these guys have both."
Flanked by family members, Robinson pulled a blue and yellow A&T cap down to his eyes and gave it a symmetrical bend. The tedious recruiting process that took off just after a playoff loss to Jack Britt in November was finally over.
"The next step is to better my life," Robinson said. "A&T is a great school with a great environment. It seemed to be the best fit for me compared to Catawba, Emory & Henry and Bridgewater (College)."
UNCP was one of a few programs to offer Smith, a fellow Wing-T running back in Brill's offensive attack.
"To be the best you have to compete against the best," Smith said. "They had really nice facilities and a nice campus. I'm excited."
Smith was recruited by UNCP assistant Steve Saulnier to play in the secondary. He lined up at several positions during his senior season for the Pirates with starts at linebacker, safety and running back. Smith was one of the team's leading tacklers as an all-county defensive back with 73 stops.
"The kid can play and the sky is the limit for him," Brill said. "Whether it's coming off the edge or in coverage, he's a talented individual."
Robinson rushed for 2,610 yards and 29 touchdowns during a four-year career and overcame several nagging injuries his senior season. He picked up a career-high 263 yards on 27 carries in a rain-soaked opener before finishing with a 176-yard effort against one of the top rush defenses in the state at Jack Britt.
"A&T needed a running back and he has a lot of ability," Brill said. "He already has the speed for the next level, he just needs to get bigger to take the pounding."
"They're grades first, athletics second kind of kids and the Lumberton staff is really proud of these guys," said Tripp Satterwhite, Lumberton's athletic director.
A third Pirate, Robeson County Defensive Player of the Year Mac McGill, could make his pledge by the end of the month. He is considering Tusculum, Allegheny College (Pa.) and Emory & Henry (Va.).
"I'm waiting it out, there's no rush," McGill said. "I'm going to stay overnight at Allegheny soon and I've already visited Tusculum."

Covers my tattoo!
I used this to cover a tattoo behind my ear. For a job I was told I had to get rid of my tattoo because I had to wear my hair up. I went to Sephora and I was given this as well as the Cover FX setting powder. I'm not sure about regular foundation, but to cover my tattoo, the setting powder is a must. I had to do 1 touch up during the day but it wasn't a lot. I think a makeup setting spay would help it say longer. It's very expensive, around $80 for both the cream foundation & the setting powder, but worth it!
I am a firm believer in this foundation and I recommend it to everyone
First and foremost I love the fact that it is a dermatologist tested foundation that was derived in a Hospital. Not only is it build-able but the coverage is very sheer yet full if needed. Depending upon how it is applied, it has the ability to cover the darkest of scars and imperfections.
Finding a foundation that works well is all skin complexions can be rather difficult depending upon where you live demographically. The great thing about Cover FX is that is is offered in numerous shades for people of ethnic backgrounds. It is great for all skin types, and offers a variation of undertones in its products. Definitely a must have in my makeup kit!
I love this product!!! has full coverage! great for hiding any imperfections! I have 16 diff colours. the formula is so smooth and creamy, easy to blend! i would recommend this product to everyone!!!

I have about 12 different shades but the one I use on myself is E0 and I am absolutely in love with it! I love a full coverage foundation, and I never had a foundation that gave me the coverage that the Cover FX one does. It's really creamy and it's very easy to blend out! I will definitely be repurchasing!
This is completely full coverage, no need for concealer after this. But it's pretty expensive. I wouldn't buy it again because I don't need that much coverage. But I will recommend it.
perfect!!!! its hard to blend must use a moisturizer & primer before applying it! great coverage, I use my sigmax synthetic brushes to apply! i tried using my fingers, it was a total fail! and ended up super drying and cakey, I tryed it with the sonia kashuk blending sponge & it was alright! I really want to try it with the beauty blender I just havent picked one up yet. the foundation gives a wonderful coverage & once blended good it, the finish just looks wow airbrushed & amazing skin! will be my foundation for a long time, esp thru the winter days :) not perfect for summer because it glides off in the heat. u def need to set this w. powder or it just wont stay!

I love this foundation! I have almost all of the colors. I personally only use it on other people during photo shoots because it has amazing coverage and lovely finish without looking heavy or cakey! It even covers tattoos! Great professional makeup.
If you are using it for personal use, you want to make sure you have really good brush to blend it in, or mix a little moisturizer with it to thin it out.
Really covers!
This is a very "heavy" cover up..it works awesome and I really like it, but it is 'heavy' you Need to apply with a foundation brush (I use leise watier foundation brush) it's on the expensive side, but if you want total coverage this is it. I have some brownish skin discoloration and this works very well, but I find I have to mix it with other foundations or I wind up with too dark a color for my fair skin.
Best applied with a brush. Can be a bit 'oily' but if you use the cover fx dusting powder (looks white goes on clear) it sets it perfect and takes away any shine or oiliness.
Too thick
I wanted to like this but it was way to thick on my skin and made me break out. It's also too creamy for my oily T-zone where most of my redness problems are.

Absolutely wonderful - to make it even healthier, substitute 2% evaporated milk for the half and half. I would also use 2% (or at least 1%) milk instead of skim (fat-free). To thicken, mix just 1 Tbsp. flour with part of the milk and stir in - will be just enough to thicken without taking away nutritional qualities.

I have been struggling with my weight for several years now. I am 75 lbs over weight, 47 married empty nester, accountant for a non-profit. Recently I have committed to doing a 1/2 marathon in November. 12 weeks (EEKK). My mom & sister will be joining me. My mother has been running since her 40's. She ran her first marathon the year I made her a grandmother :). Anyway this will be my 4th 1/2 marathon since 2004, I walked the first 3. I have decided I am going to run at least a 1/3 of this one. I started using a Jeff Galloway Iphone AP for interval training about 5 weeks ago. I have been very extremely careful because I don't want to injure myself and not be able to do it at all. I originally started with 1 minute running 2 minute walking with the running at 6mph. However carrying so much extra weight I could feel my right leg was not liking it very much, this is when I decided that the tortoise is the one who finishes the race and I backed down to 4.5 mph and running 30 seconds walking 45 seconds. I have since upped it to 5mph and am really feeling good about it. I am running 5 days a week, and today I am going to do my first long run of 5 miles, I have been doing a daily run of 2.5 which I upped to 3.5 on Tuesday this week. I am really starting to feel strong and its not as much of a mental battle today as it was 5 weeks ago.
Also in regard to my diet. My husband and I live in the Houston Texas area and there is a local trainer who stared a company called My Fit Foods. They prepare fresh food for you that you can pick up a couple times a week, so it is very much the easy way, no food prep or too much though required.. Its gluten free and comes in 3 serving sizes and all I have to do is grab my meals in the morning on my way out the door. I started logging my food today on Lose it and yesterday I ordered the Fit Bit (wish I had it already).
I am in prayer that I will be successful this time, because there have been so many times in the past I have failed. My motto this time "Do or Do Not - There is no try" Yoda! I will DO!!
My short term goal is to lose at least 15lbs by the race.
My long term is to lose the 75 lbs and to continue running an hour a day 5 days a week.
Thank you in advance for encouragement & support thru my journey! I need all the help I can get.
Also I would love to hear how the fit bit has helped anyone already!
Be Blessed
Dawn congrats keeping up with the exercise, I know how hard it is. Do you like your juicer? I've been thinking about getting one.
Hey Dawn How have you been doing? I don't get Fitbit. I can see your information, but I can't figure out how to send you notes of encouragement over there so I am doing it here instead.
Not real sure how to communicate with friends on fitbit either. I am doing OK not great. I am not walking because its still not comfortable, however i have been going to the Y with my husband and swimming a few laps. Did 10 50 yard laps yesterday. You asked about the juicer the other day, sorry I didn't respond.
I had a cheaper version by black & Decker and it was ok if you don't use it too much. My husband has decided he really likes juicing so we invested in a high quality & high volume one by Breville. I only like vegetable juices that have an apple for sweetness and carrots as the base. If those two ingredients are included I can just about drink any vegetable, my husband doesn't always use an apple or carrots. He is the one who is drinking juice twice a day and he is saying he feels much better.
How are you doing?
Dawn, I am doing fine so far with walking every week day, although I did skip Monday because of the holiday. Got inserts in my shoes which seems to help the sore feet. The hardest thing for me is keeping track of the food, I eat a lot of home made creations plus I forget to do it. Swimming laps at the Y sound great and its good exercise. I wish there was a Y near by me. I like walking but doing the same thing all the time can get a little boring. Thanks for the information on the juicer, and don't worry about not responding right a way.
I know you think I am fickle and cant stick to a goal. Well Now I have set a tough & Big one. I have purchased and am on Day two of Jillian Michael s Body Revolution. Its a series of DVDs & diet plan for 90 days. Its geared towards people like me who have a lot to lose. I have set my long term goal at 80, But I hope to lose at least 30 during this 1st 90 days. Based on the workouts of the 1st two days I believe Ms Jillian is going to kick my butt. I can do it! I can DO it! I CAN DO IT!! However I can use all the prayers & support i can get.
Day one consisted of a 30 minute weights centered workout in the a.m. And a 30 minute cardio in the evening
Breakfast was awesome. 2 Poached eggs on canadian bacon served on tomato & avocado
Lunch was a chef salad
Snack, Hummus w/red bell pepper & baby carrots
Dinner; sirloin served on spinach and a tomato, red onion & black olive salad.
Day 2 was 30 minutes of weights and resistance band in the am and cardio in the evening.
I chose to repeat the food from day 1
Tomorrow is cardio both in the am & pm
And then I repeat three days.
The workouts gain intensity every two weeks. I am excited, nervous & confident all at the same time lol.
I have seen the results JM has gotten from the contestants on BL so I know this can (Will if I let it) work.
I cheated and weighed the 2nd day and was down 3lbs. She only wants me to weigh weekly. I will give you updates on my progress.
Be Blessed!
Hi Dawn! It's funny that I decided today to return to the site, after a long absence. I say that because I've been going through the workouts for Jillian Michaels Body Revolution too. I am currently in Phase 3. I am doing the workouts because my wife purchased the program recently, and I've been a fan of Jillian for several years (since I did 30 Day Shred and a couple of other DVDs). I am maintaining my goal weight, but I am always looking for my next workout program.
I've been through all except the last two weeks of workouts now, so I am saying with confidence (just like Jillian) that you can do this! Remember that diet, exercise, proper sleep (7-8 hours), and reducing your stress will all help you to achieve your goal. I still struggle with the part about proper sleep and stress! Also, take it easy the first time through a new workout, so you can learn the moves. It's OK to pause, skip back to something you missed, or just watch to see how they do it.
If you're interested, I have written some blog posts about Body Revolution, too. These workouts are good for people at any fitness level, but you can definitely challenge yourself. I will certainly pray for you as you make your way through the program.
Hey Dawn That sounds intense but I know you can do it. Thoughts and prayers heading your way
My Body Revolution journey is in its 3rd week. I am down 10.5lbs. I feel stronger and healthier. I have started the 2nd phase this week. We have people over tonight for the 4th, so I know I am going to cheat a little on the diet , but my goal is to keep it at a "little" Hubby is making homemade strawberry ice cream and that is going to be my cheat. JIllian is a beast but the exercises are doable even if your carrying 80lbs you shouldnt be like me. I looking forward to the day I dont wake up sore tho lol. I have been adding two nights a week at the Y, doing water aerobics. I think I am more sore from those cause you dont realize at the time how much you are doing.
Dawn (Loving Life)
Dawn, you're an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
Day 21 of my JMBR journey. I am frustrated but not discouraged. I have only lost one lb this week, and although I cheated on the 4th I didn't do terrible. I didn't eat the "Bad" salads, just the cucumber salad I made and a turkey burger. I did have a very small piece of cake and some of my hubby's home made ice cream. So for the most part I have done very well with my diet. As far as the exercise I have been doing it all, well what I can lol I have to modify some of her moves cause I cant get this big girl in some of those positions hee. seriously, their are some things I just cant do, and since Jillian isn't physically here to make me ...
So overall I have lost 11 lbs. I am definitely stronger and feeling pretty good. I am not in a smaller size yet. Some of the exercises in this 2nd phase I would not have been able to do day one but I can now. I really do like the workouts and I am not as sore as I was in the beginning. I may wake up a little sore but once I do that days routine I feel great. 69 days to go....
Hey Dawn , you motivate me to keep walking, I thought of buying Jillian Michaels video, but I have a habit of buying videos like that using them for awhile and then they sit on the shelf. I do love her podcast though, it is my weekly motivation. Do you listen to it? I think i know how you feel about the weight loss it can be so frustrating, but you can do it. I keep telling myself whether it shows on the scale today, what I do is building who I will be tomorrow.
Hi Dawn! How's it going with Body Revolution, or the healthy habits in general?
