"Special thanks to the Rock for making my childhood dream come true! U have no idea how many couches and old mattresses I jumped off thinking I was one of y'all! U, Ultimate Warrior, Sting, Legion of Doom, Goldberg and The Undertaker I could watch all day plus many more! I feel like a little kid again. Thanks again Champ!"

When he was just a child, Zach Gowen was diagnosed with cancer, and the future WWE star would be forced to amputate his leg when he was just eight years of age.
After the eight grade, Andre the Giant decided to drop out of school, as the future WWE legend did not believe that an education was needed in order to be a farmer.
Jerry Lawler and Jimmy Hart were classmates at Memphis Treadwell High School.
Traci Brooks spent much of her childhood on a pig and chicken farm in Ontario.
Andre the Giant was 6'3" and 240 pounds by the time he was 12 years old.
With all of her prior backstage issues, there are those that believe that Rosa Mendes might have been a good candidate to generate interest in Total Divas, but it appears that WWE did not consider that possibility very seriously at all. Officials opted to go with Summer Rae as the new cast member.
Rosa Mendes posted a picture on Twitter of herself and Alicia Fox wearing cheerleader outfits while backstage at a WWE event.
The seven girls of Total Divas were able to beat the other WWE divas in a traditional Survivor Series match. Natalya and Nikki Bella were the last two standing in the ring at the end.
Prior to dropping out of college to pursue a career in modeling, Rosa Mendes studied business at the University of British Columbia.
There are many within WWE that believe that Rosa Mendes might have fabricated the domestic abuse story involving she and then boyfriend Jackson Andrews, a former developmental wrestler for the company. Many started doubting her because of her antics on the road.

SIMPSONVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A detour is in place as both lanes of Interstate 64 westbound are shut down just outside of Simpsonville, Kentucky after a semi overturned Sunday afternoon.
Kentucky State Police said a tractor trailer hauling plywood crashed at the 28 mile marker of I-64 W just before 2:30 p.m.
The trailer's cargo was scattered across the westbound lanes of the interstate. A diesel tank was also torn from the vehicle, landing in a nearby creek.
No other vehicles were involved, and no one was injured in the crash.
Drivers are being detoured from the interstate at Exit 32, which is Taylorsville Road. They can re-enter at Exit 28, just past the crash site.
KSP said lane closures are expected to last until at least 11 p.m. Sunday during cleanup.
An investigation into what caused the wreck is ongoing.

School Library JournalGr 4–6
Buffalo Bill is visiting London with his famous Wild West show, much to the delight of the Raven League, a group of kids who help Sherlock Holmes. Shortly after they sneak backstage to meet him, a police officer is shot and scalped, and all the clues point to the famous performer and his troupe. Since Holmes is not around, it's up to the League to solve the case. This page-turner has great details and draws a vivid picture of Victorian London, especially the poverty. Students who enjoy cowboy stories, mysteries, and adventure will enjoy it. This book does contain derogatory references to Native Americans by prejudiced Londoners, but they are offset by other people involved. The dialogue is good, as are the relationships among the characters. A solid choice for reluctant readers.

Calea Zacatechichi is a herb that is scientifically shown to increase dream recall, dream intensity and hypnagogic imagery.
Also known as Calea Z or The Dream Herb, it has been used by Mexican shamans for millennia, and now modern-day dream explorers, to create a richer dream life.
My experiences of Calea Z have involved longer, amazingly vivid dreams, in which I've found it easier to become lucid. I believe it's the best dream herb for early lucid dreamers or dabblers in this field who want to experience greater depth and intensity in their dreams.
In the follow Calea Z review I discuss the types of dreams it has produced, where to buy the herb, where it's legal and how to ingest it as a means of heightening the intensity of your dream life.
DISCLAIMER: Before taking any dream herb, you are strongly advised to consult a qualified physician.
Historically, the herb has been used by Mexican shamans for thousands of years to gain insights, such as the cause of an illness or the location of a distant person. Through the act of dream incubation, unconscious information comes to them in their lifelike dreams.
Today, people use The Dream Herb to increase the overall vividness and intensity of their dreams, for entertainment and for experimentation. Remarkably, the herb has this powerful effect even if you don't normally remember any of your dreams. I've taken Calea Z sporadically for a few years now to push the boundaries of my dreamworld and I'm happy to report some really positive effects on my lucid and non-lucid dreams.
In 2009, I had my first Calea Zacatechichi experience. It was fascinating. It produced some highly meaningful and vivid dreams that left me waking up thinking WOW... They were like no other dreams I'd had before.
(...and I'm a lucid dreamer...)
As dream herbs go, Calea Z is a good one to start off with because:
Though it can certainly open the gateway to lucid dreaming, the really meaningful aspect of Calea Z is its ability to take you on an incredible dream journey. I'm talking about the kind of dreams that change you - even more, perhaps, than many of your waking experiences.
I've had lucid and non-lucid dreams with Calea Zacatechichi; each highly memorable in their own right. I've never had any nightmares on it. (Nightmares may, of course, be possible: any night of dreaming may be exposed to unpleasant or traumatic content.) But I don't think this herb creates nightmares intrinsically - our emotions do that.
My approach is to take Calea Zacatechichi in capsule form after about 4-6 hours of sleep. This is the ideal time to practice lucid dreaming, too, because your REM sleep is extended in the early morning, so you make maximum use of your dreamiest sleep cycles.
Some of my Calea Z dreams have been far removed from this world, conjuring up alien planets and futuristic cities. My favorite was when I dreamed I was living in an advanced alien civilization.
I can still remember how I felt to live in a world of the future - it was reminiscent of Iain Banks Culture lore - and that feeling still runs through me like I have lived another life. Just thinking about that dream now makes me want to write a novel or paint a picture -- to do whatever I can to fully re-enter that world in my imagination and try to capture it for others. It was simply awesome.
And in that dream, time seemed to stretch, and I perceived a great deal in what must have been 30-60 minutes of dreaming. It was like watching an epic movie that spans centuries: you feel like it lasted longer because you watched so much time pass. That's about as close as I can explain it. Flashing through someone's life while instantly understanding all that they had felt and experienced during the course of many years via implanted memories.
When I woke up, I was mildly stunned to be in this reality. My normal life - without flying cars, or skyscrapers that ran into the clouds, or alien people, or the sense of adventure - seemed quite boring in comparison. But I was euphoric at the memory and wanted to write it all down before it drained away. Now, many details of the dream are lost, even after writing it down, but the emotional content stays with me, a feeling I can't re-define.
Others have reported incredibly realistic Calea Zacatechichi dreams, sometimes with complex plots and gripping drama, others with more trivial content but profound intensity nonetheless.
Amazingly, that includes people who don't normally remember any dreams at all. So in my view, Calea Z is something to consider if you have real problems with your dream recall, and are looking for a way to get closer to your dreamworld.
You can buy Calea Z from Amazon in the form of dry leaf capsules or liquid tincture.
Capsules are the best way to go, I believe. But here is some rough guidance on the various alternative ways of taking it:
Tincture: Calea Z liquid tincture is made from the dried material and reduced down. Add this to your regular night-time tea, starting with a small dose and working up each night to find your personal sweet spot.
Capsules: Take 1-2 Calea Z capsules after 4-6 hours sleep. This gives you sufficient deep sleep before embarking on longer REM cycles.
Tea: Many people agree that drinking bitter Calea Z tea tastes awful. If you decide to make dream tea, add plenty of honey and drink it slowly.
Smoke: Inhale the dry leaf extract before returning to sleep. You may feel a little buzzy but the majority of effects occur in dreamland.
NOTE: Allergic reactions are rare, but possible. To reduce your risk, try a very small dose first and check for any unusual effects. Dose sizes should start small and scaled up if needed. There are no documented cases of overdose.
It helps if you incubate your chosen lucid dream as you fall asleep. This means visualizing your desired dreamscape and directing your awareness into that scenario, engaging all the senses. Tell yourself (in your mind) that you will lucid dream tonight and relax into the experience.
Don't feel pressure to have a lucid dream. Whatever your experience, if you take the right dose then your awareness will be heightened significantly. What's more, the dream plot may well dazzle you, which is something that often gets lost when our conscious ego takes control of our dreams...

The staff were very friendly and attentive and gave excellent service. I truly felt pampered the whole time and did not have any negative experiences at all. The only thing that came a little bit close to being negative was that I talked to some other passengers who had a leak in their room, but they were subsequently upgraded to a better cabin so they were happy about it.
We had a mini suite and it was very spacious and tidy. It was showing some wear, but not much and it was fine with us. Our steward was very good about making sure we had everything we needed and took very good care of us.
The entertainment was good, but a little disappointing after my last Princess cruise which was hosting the Entertainer of the Year contest. I guess I can't expect a normal cruise to be on the same level as that, but it was still very good.
The food was excellent, especially considering that they are trying to make thousands of people happy. The French Onion Soup was one of the best I've ever had.
II think they did and excellent job with embarcation as well as getting everyone off the ship and back at each port.
Alaska was simply fabulous! I will definitely go again, but I think I will try one of the cruise tours next time and combine a cruise with some time in Denali. We didn't purchase our excursions through Princess. Instead we used a company called Shoretrips on the recommendation of our travel agent and she sure was right about them!
They were fabulous. We saw lots of eagles, whales, bears, ect. I thought it would be too early in the year but the guides knew just where to go.
All in all I was extremely pleased with my cruise. Princess could not have done a better job.

TORONTO -- The Toronto Raptors have officially acquired the cornerstone of what they hope will be a young team brimming with potential.
The Raptors and Houston Rockets finalized a trade Wednesday that will send point guard Kyle Lowry to Toronto for forward Gary Forbes and a protected future first-round draft choice.
"We feel we've added a solid starting-calibre point guard to our team who will bring toughness, grit and playmaking at a very important position," Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo said during a conference call. "At (26 years old) I would say Kyle represents what I would characterize as the future of the position."
Lowry averaged career bests of 14.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.6 steals with the Rockets last year. He also contributed team-highs of 6.6 assists and 32.1 minutes in 47 games.
He is slated to make US$5.75 million next season and $6.21 million in 2013-14, a very attractive price for a starting point guard who can put up points and eat minutes.
The six-foot, 205-pound Philadelphia native is a key building block for a young team that will add prized rookie centre Jonas Valanciunas, recent draft picks Terrence Ross and Quincy Acy and potentially guard/small forward Landry Fields to its roster next season.
The deal was first reported last week, shortly after the Raptors missed out on signing Victoria's Steve Nash. The Canadian star went to the Los Angeles Lakers instead.
"I respect Steve a great deal for making his decision about family first and probably basketball second," Colangelo said. "The fact that he got a perfect blend that allows him to compete for a championship an hour away from his family ... I can't fault a guy for that and I applaud him for it actually."
Colangelo also said the team was going ahead with its plan to sign Fields to an offer sheet, reported last week to be around $20 million.
Colangelo confirmed Fields was targetted partly because the Knicks planned to use him as a piece of a sign-and-trade deal to lure Nash to New York. With Nash no longer in the Raptors' plans, the cost for Fields would seem high for a player who regressed last season after a solid rookie year in New York. Fields averaged 8.8 points and 4.2 rebounds a game.
"I think I'm criticized for every contract I sign, so I just take it with the territory," Colangelo said. "It seems at some point those contracts seem to validate themselves.
"Free agency is a funny game. Most of the time you sign a free agent you're overpaying. In restricted free agency you tend to overpay even more. We put a value on certain players based on a lot of input and a lot of thought, and we think at the end of the day there's going to be significant value for what we are going to be paying Landry Fields."
The Knicks have three days to match the Raptors' offer to Fields, a scenario which Colangelo called a "50/50 proposition."
What Lowry's acquisition means for current Raptor point guard Jose Calderon remains to be seen. Calderon played well last season averaging 10.5 points and 8.8 assists per game, but Lowry is five years younger and regarded as an upgrade on defence. A likely scenario would see Lowry start and Calderon come off the bench.
Colangelo also said the Raptors would not be against trading Calderon for the right price, but for now they see him as a valuable part of the team.
"I'm not going to tell you (Jose) was thrilled about the trade, but in the end this is about becoming a better basketball team and that's my No. 1 concern," Colangelo said.
Lowry was a first-round draft choice (24th overall) by Memphis in 2006. He played two seasons at Villanova University before declaring for the NBA Draft.
Forbes averaged 6.6 points, 2.1 rebounds and 14.9 minutes in 48 games last season with the Raptors.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

8. Nik Stauskas - Kings

OutBack Power Technologies, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of advanced power electronics for renewable energy, backup power and mobile applications, will showcase its newest Grid/Hybrid solar energy innovations at Intersolar North America, July 8 to 10 in San Francisco. With intelligent technology, including the new GridZero Radian inverters, expanded energy storage options, and OPTICS RE mobile monitoring and control application, OutBack Power has a single-brand system solution for delivering grid independence to owners and installers while ensuring compatibility with future energy storage solutions through advanced battery-charging capabilities. This allows users to master utility and incentive changes, reducing their anxiety over costly solar investments and provides distributors and installers the flexibility to address any energy scenario based upon customer needs.
Even as solar pricing becomes more competitive compared with other energy sources, installers and homeowners still have to contend with changes in utility policies and net metering incentives such as those in flux in Hawaii or California utilities. Intelligent devices connected via the Internet of Things have likewise disrupted the residential renewable energy market, empowering homeowners and installers with greater transparency into their energy usage, production and efficiency. The next generation of solar energy systems will be defined by their ability to store renewably-generated electricity for increasing grid independence and providing backup solutions for emergencies.
"The connected smart home is expanding beyond communication between your tablet and your lights or garage door to now include your solar panels or backup power supply," said Harvey Wilkinson, general manager of OutBack Power. "Pairing solar and energy storage with smart controls and 24/7 monitoring make OutBack Power's Grid/Hybrid technology a practical solar investment for people that want to leverage reliability and intelligent energy balancing in an economical system."
OutBack Power's award-winning Radian family features GridZero technology and Advanced Battery Charging for compatibility with any future or existing utility energy scenario. OutBack is also introducing large-capacity 2V battery and racking systems with modular terminal design as well as top-terminal batteries and outdoor enclosures for value-oriented applications. OutBack's cloud-based monitoring and control dashboard, OPTICS RE, provides users with the ability to easily monitor PV system operation, performance and output via an intuitive dashboard from any Internet-enabled device. With the ability to monitor and control renewable energy installations, OPTICS RE ensures fewer service calls and improved contact with customers, and saves users money, resulting in greener lifestyles and greater satisfaction with their solar investments.
"It can be costly and time-consuming for contractors or energy system designers to monitor, maintain or service far-off sites," said Jaiya DeCosta, owner of JD's Electrical, a Hawaiian-based electrical contracting firm. "Now that we can offer our customers transparency into their systems' performance and the ability to adjust settings for the greatest return, we can also make the most efficient use of our teams and resources by making service calls only when necessary."

Hardware will never be more valuable than on the day it hits your loading dock. Each day new servers are not deployed to production the business is losing money. While Moore's Law is typically cited to explain the exponential density growth of chips, a critical consequence of this is rapid depreciation of servers. The hardware for clustered systems (e.g., Hadoop, OpenStack) tends to be significant capital expenses. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mason Katz, CTO and co-founder of StackIQ, to discuss how infrastructure teams should be aware of the capitalization and depreciation model of these expenses to fully understand when and where automation is critical.

Most of today's hardware manufacturers are building servers with at least one SATA Port, but not every systems engineer utilizes them. This is considered a loss in the game of maximizing potential storage space in a fixed unit. The SATADOM Series was created by Innodisk as a high-performance, small form factor boot drive with low power consumption to be plugged into the unused SATA port on your server board as an alternative to hard drive or USB boot-up. Built for 1U systems, this powerful device is smaller than a one dollar coin, and frees up otherwise dead space on your motherboard. To meet the requirements of tomorrow's cloud hardware, Innodisk invested internal R&D resources to develop our SATA III series of products. The SATA III SATADOM boasts 500/180MBs R/W Speeds respectively, or double R/W Speed of SATA II products.

As more applications and services move "to the cloud" (public or on-premise) cloud environments are increasingly adopting and building out traditional enterprise features. This in turn is enabling and encouraging cloud adoption from enterprise users. In many ways the definition is blurring as features like continuous operation, geo-distribution or on-demand capacity become the norm. NuoDB is involved in both building enterprise software and using enterprise cloud capabilities. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Seth Proctor, CTO at NuoDB, Inc., will discuss the experiences from building, deploying and using enterprise services and suggest some ways to approach moving enterprise applications into a cloud model.

Almost everyone sees the potential of Internet of Things but how can businesses truly unlock that potential. The key will be in the ability to discover business insight in the midst of an ocean of Big Data generated from billions of embedded devices via Systems of Discover.

Cloud and Big Data present unique dilemmas: embracing the benefits of these new technologies while maintaining the security of your organization's assets. When an outside party owns, controls and manages your infrastructure and computational resources, how can you be assured that sensitive data remains private and secure?

In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Derek Tumulak, Vice President of Product Management at Vormetric, will discuss how to address data security in cloud and Big Data environments so that your organization isn't next week's data breach headline.

Enterprises require the performance, agility and on-demand access of the public cloud, and the management, security and compatibility of the private cloud. The solution? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Simone Brunozzi, VP and Chief Technologist(global role) for VMware, will explore how to unlock the power of the hybrid cloud and the steps to get there. He'll discuss the challenges that conventional approaches to both public and private cloud computing, and outline the tough decisions that must be made to accelerate the journey to the hybrid cloud. As part of the transition, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model will enable enterprise IT to build services beyond their data center while owning what gets moved, when to move it, and for how long. IT can then move forward on what matters most to the organization that it supports – availability, agility and efficiency.

Every healthy ecosystem is diverse. This is especially true in cloud ecosystems, where portability and interoperability are more important than old enterprise models of proprietary ownership. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mark Baker, Server Product Manager at Canonical/Ubuntu, will discuss how single vendors used to take the lead in creating and delivering technology, but in a cloud economy, where users want tools of their preference, when and where they need them, it makes no sense.

The Department of Homeland Security announced more than a dozen arrests connected to a child porn website.
A Tucson man, 26-year-old Vittorio Francesco Gonzalez-Castillo, was among the 14 suspects arrested and charged with conspiracy to produce child pornography, according to authorities.
"Operation Round Table" was called one of the largest online child exploitation investigations in the history of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which was aided by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The investigation involved victims in 39 states and five countries.
Authorities say Gonzalez-Castillo was already facing charges for distributing child porn and now he is accused of allegedly making videos for the website.
Investigators have identified more than 200 children found in the material, most of them in the United States.
The website's primary administrator, Jonathan Johnson, 27, of Abita Springs, La., has been charged with operating a child exploitation enterprise. Authorities say he admitted to creating multiple fake female personas on popular social networks to target and sexually exploit children and to coaching other child predators in his inner circle to do the same.
Johnson has been in federal custody since his arrest June 13, 2013, and faces 20 years to life in prison.

John Fletcher 2.5.67 Pharr b. 9 July 1852 in Gwinnett C. Ga. Wife is said to be Clara Daniel born in Danielville Ga. John parents were Samuel 2.4.36 and Nancy Taylor. Samuel is shown on the 1850 census in Gwinnett C. in Chattanoga C. Ga on the 1860 and 1870 census. He is shown in Buckhead, fulton C. Ga census for 1880. Pharr Road in NE Atlanta is named for his plantation he had there I'm told. Samuel was the sone of Edward 2.3.16 and Ruth Fisk. Edward was the son of Samuel Ezekiel 2.2.4 Pharr and Elizabeth bailey. Samuel was the son of Edward Needy 2.1.1 Phair and Rachel Beard.
I understand John Flemming Pharr died about 1950. They had at least one son Crawford alexander Pharr b. 22 Aug 1901 in Concord NC. As you can see the family moved at good deal as he was a Presbyterian Minister.

"The basic principles of quantum physics are relatively simple, but their ramifications are incredibly confusing. The following gross oversimplification is presented for your amusement:posted by sandmonk at 3:33 PM on May 11, 2005
Things behave differently at very small scales than they do at very large scales. In other words, none of what we previously considered the "laws of physics" apply at subatomic scales.
Energy, such as light, exists simultaneously as particles and waves.
The act of observing something happening causes a change in the thing being observed."

The library of the future- it's not just about paperback books anymore.
"We can have a library of the future in an old building and that's what we're doing in our existing building because it's all about technology. It's all about access," he said during a press conference Wednesday at Juliette Hampton Memorial Library.
The library pays for what patrons check out so there's no cost to the user. There was no platform fee or set up fee for the library system associated with Hoopla. Each time a patron check anything out of Hoopla's collection, the library pays anywhere from $0.99 to $2.99 which comes out of the library's budget.
Those using Hoopla have access to their selected movies for three days, music albums for seven days and audio books for three weeks.
"There's no direct cost. There's no fines associated with it. It automatically returns itself to the collection when your period of borrowing time is up so you never have any fines. It's not like books in our print collection," said Library Director Jaunita Owes. "It's giving us an opportunity to allow our citizens to have another mode of checking material out from the library at 2 AM or 6 AM or at work on their lunch break or school or wherever they may be."
The Montgomery library system is the fifth in the state to partner with Hoopla digital.

4 year old Evesham desktop freezing

Posted November 12, 2011 at 12:29PM
My desktop which was bought in May 1997 and is running under Vista often gets stuck when switching on, with the display looping on the Vista loading bar. I can clear this eventually by continually switching off and on, but is driving me to distraction as it seems to happen (Sods Law) when I want access quickly.
I have thought of installing Windows 7 assuming that the problem is in the OS, but I thnk that it would be better to dump the desktop for a new one. I do not play games and only use the desktop for the WEB, printing photos and Microsoft Works. Can anyone recommend a suitable replacement desktop, preferably without the monitor, keypad or speakers?

Access quickly? Download Ubuntu (burn when your PC is working or another. Try not Install). Just runs from CD/DVD boot.
Allows Firefox browsing and LibreOffice.
Then you can come back here and fix Vista at your pleasure.

Big dogs who think they are lap dogs.
all dogs are lap dogs
(Source: nichvlas)
Mt Fuji sunsets;
This is an enormous chain and I'm sorry, but I need to say this:
The laws in the Old Testament were set forth by god as the rules the Hebrews needed to follow in order to be righteous, to atone for the sin of Adam and Eve and to be able to get into Heaven. That is also why they were required to make sacrifices, because it was part of the appeasement for Original Sin.
According to Christian theology, when Jesus came from Heaven, it was for the express purpose of sacrificing himself on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. His sacrifice was supposed to be the ultimate act that would free us from the former laws and regulations and allow us to enter Heaven by acting in his image. That is why he said "it is finished" when he died on the cross. That is why Christians don't have to circumcise their sons (god's covenant with Jacob), that is why they don't have to perform animal sacrifice, or grow out their forelocks, or follow any of the other laws of Leviticus.
When you quote Leviticus as god's law and say they are rules we must follow because they are what god or Jesus wants us to do, what you are really saying, as a Christian, is that Christ's sacrifice on the cross was invalid. He died in vain because you believe we are still beholden to the old laws. That is what you, a self-professed good Christian, are saying to your god and his son, that their plan for your salvation wasn't good enough for you.
So maybe actually read the thing before you start quoting it, because the implications of your actions go a lot deeper than you think.
This is a theological point that doesn't come up often enough.

T-Mobile has announced that it's added enhanced, iPhone-compatible 4G to five major US markets, bringing enhanced service to a total of 23 locations. Chicago, Reno, Sacramento, Fresno, and parts of Southern California should now have better voice and data performance and better signal strength on 4G HSPA+, and the enhanced network uses the 1900MHz frequency, which means iPhone users can connect to it rather than being pushed onto slower 2G networks. T-Mobile now says that 100 million people are covered by its enhanced networks, a number it mentioned a few days ago as a goal for the end of the year.
Boston, New York, and other cities are currently listed as sites of future upgrades, and T-Mobile says parts of these areas should already be seeing results. Besides enhanced HSPA+, T-Mobile is still working on its LTE rollout, which it hopes will cover 100 million people by mid-2013. The company has recently become more up-front about luring iPhone fans away from other carriers, with an upcoming ad campaign based around the idea that "you love your iPhone, but you hate AT&T" and an agreement to sell Apple products in 2013. With these enhancements, it's hoping they'll love — or at least tolerate — the speeds they'll be getting on T-Mobile as well.

Another View -- John Broderick and Joseph Nadeau: Replace rage with reason, abolish the death penalty
Can the purpose of executions be protection from the killers, when life imprisonment without the possibility of parole provides that protection, and in light of published reports that no state has ever paroled a person from such a sentence?
If the purpose is to provide justice for victims, isn't justice served by sensitivity to their plight, by swift apprehension and vigorous prosecution of murderers, by adherence to the Constitution, and by fair and impartial trials?

The beat of the rhyme is rocking.Very nice Blake! Adorable. (Report) Reply
William Blake Beckett
The Hillside
On a hillside in the North
a drummer boy marches
parading through flying lead
wading through marshes
Thrown in a war
he knows not about
he drums solemly
now there is doubt
In the back of his mind
an itch in his head
he pauses to think
and is a shot in the leg
Lead rushes through veins
but still he drums
Battle Hymn of the Republic
he quietly hums
Twelve years old
his world fades to black
he knows war is Hell
and there's no turning back
In the hillside of the South
a mother trembles
she opens a letter
with Union symbols
'I regret to inform you'
is all she can read
she knows what has happened
and falls to her knees
Her son is concerned
as he hears her cry
he runs from his room
and begins to eye
A package at the door
rips it open with his thumb
his brother had no job
but instead a Union drum
In an act of rage
he runs out the door
carrying the drum
to Hell, and to war
He marches with the drum
blue coveralls donned
He searches for his dad
the Father/Son bond
On a hillside in the South
a father shoots his son
he walks to his kill
and sees what he has done
Sick of fighting
sick of himself
he runs from the war
from Hell, and from death
Sprinting through forest
and thick, heavy fog
he looks over his shoulder
and trips on a log
He tries to stand up
but his leg is broken
he crawls for his life
and prayers are spoken
In the hillside of the South
wife and husband reunite
she thanks God he's alive
and hides him overnight
at three in the morning
a soldier knocks at the door
the husband awakens
and remembers the war
The wife gets up
the soldier steps in
in a war against brothers
no one can win
Searching for the AWOL
he goes through the house
wife goes to husband
and holds close her spouse
The soldier demands she get back
but she won't let go
wife stays with husband
a gunshot echoes
On a hillside in the North
a story is written
about the Civil War
and a family's decisions

interests, offer the most efficient news delivery approach in the industry.
If you're looking for LED
or Solid State Lighting News...
You're darn right they're part
of the compounds, but we're also proud to say that the LED segment has "graduated"
and can benefit from publications that are more dedicated to those topics. For
news on the broad LED industry, outside of general lighting, along with the
materials and technology supply chain, visit LIGHTimes
Online. For a higher level view of LEDs in general lighting, you can visit

which covers packaged "lighting quality" LEDs through subsystems,
luminaires and application stories.
August 21, 2014...The U.S. Department of Energy published the 2014 Solid-State Lighting
Manufacturing R&D Roadmap. The updated Roadmap complements the SSL R&D
Multi-Year Program Plan that guides the Product Development and Core Technology
R&D programs. One of the roadmap's goals is to guide the Manufacturing
R&D program and help direct funding solicitations for it. The Roadmap also
offers guidance for material and equipment suppliers, based on industry
consensus about the expected evolution of SSL manufacturing.
Industry feedback for the updated report comes from a series of roundtables
with invited experts and from the attendees of DOE's SSL Manufacturing R&D
Workshop that was held in May in San Diego. The 2014 Roadmap adds the
discussion of the OLED manufacturing cost model. DOE says it will continue to
update the Roadmap annually in collaboration with industry partners, to provide
an outline of research and process development priorities, and new analysis as
the technology and marketplace evolve.
Download the 2014
Manufacturing Roadmap.
Navigant Consulting conducted the analysis update. Navigant concluded that
in the U.S. the annual source energy savings from LED lighting in 2013 more
than doubled from the previous year to 188 trillion British thermal units
(BTUs). Navigant points out that this is equivalent to an annual energy cost
savings of about $1.8 billion.
While these current energy savings are significant, market penetration is
still quite modest. Navigant estimates that LED-based A-lamps make up only
about 1 percent of all installed A-lamps. However, the company asserts that
growth is happening rapidly. Navigant also reported that from 2012 to 2013 that
the U.S. installed base of LEDs in general lighting applications had more than
doubled to about 105 million units.
Navigant further concluded this that the 188 trillion BTU savings is a tiny
fraction that of the potential energy savings that complete adoption of SSL
lighting in U.S., 4.1 quadrillion BTU. Navigant says that while widespread
adoption may be several years in the future, the potential reveals the need of
developing a robust, high-capacity manufacturing capability for SSL. Market
adoption is likely to accelerate as prices continue to fall, and unit sales are
expected to increase at a much faster rate than revenues, according to
In response to this energy-saving opportunity, the DOE launched the SSL
manufacturing initiative in 2009 to improve SSL product quality and
consistency, establish a strong SSL manufacturing base, and support reductions
in SSL manufacturing cost in the U.S.
Current projects that the DOE Manufacturing Initiative supports include
Philips Lumileds' development of patterned sapphire substrate technology
for lighting caliber LEDs, Cree's development of lower cost integrated
LED luminaires, and OLEDWorks' development of organic light-emitting
diode (OLED) deposition technology for OLED lighting products. DOE-supported
SSL manufacturing R&D projects cover much of the value chain of SSL
production, including designs for lower costs, process improvements,
manufacturing equipment, testing, and materials.
The DOE engaged the LED community through a "Round-Table" meeting of invited
experts to review the state of LED-SSL manufacturing technology and identify
areas for improvement. The DOE followed the meeting with its SSL Manufacturing
R&D workshop and a post-workshop conference call held among
The participants drew several conclusions:
The report concluded that currently, the main challenge for LED lighting is
to continue ramping up production and drive down costs while maintaining
product quality and consistency. The emerging challenge is to demonstrate to
consumers the value that LED technology offers in terms of extended lifetime,
energy consumption and added functionality while avoiding consumer
In the short-term, the expansion of LED lighting manufacturing capacity will
require the refinement of existing manufacturing approaches. Longer-term, it
will require the introduction of innovative approaches to lighting product
design and manufacturing.
The report asserts that the biggest challenge for OLEDs is to develop
acceptable, cost-effective manufacturing processes beyond what is being done
for the manufacturing of OLED displays and build demand by identifying lighting
applications that play to the strengths of OLED technology.
August 12, 2014...Researchers from Fukuda Crystal Laboratory have successfully produced a
crystal substrate with less lattice mismatch than sapphire. Professor Takashi
Matsuoka of the Fukuda Crystal Laboratory led the group of researchers who
successfully produced the new 2-inch diameter substrate ScAlMgO4 (SCAM)
material. The researchers developed the new material to be used with GaN used
in LEDs and laser diodes. The researchers note that the material has
significantly less lattice mismatch than sapphire.
According to the researchers, the lattice mismatch of the material with GaN
is down to just 1.8 percent. The researchers used the Czochralski method to
grow the crystals. An an additional benefit of the material is that it can be
sliced and processed into substrate wafers without need of cutting or grinding.
X-ray diffraction of the C-plane cleavage of the process was used to evaluate
crystal material. The half width of the material is 12.9 seconds, therefore,
the crystal quality is apparently comparable to the perfect crystal of Si.
Unlike sapphire, SCAM material is ready for the epi cleavage process without
cutting or grinding from the ingot. Thus, it can reduce the cost of wafer
processing. Other researchers at Tohoku University successfully grew a
GaN-based LED structure on the SCAM substrate at a high temperature of 1040
℃ using MOCVD technology.
The research group hopes to proceed larger diameter, 4-inch to 6-inch SCAM
substrates. The Fukuda Institute of Technology also hopes to collaborate with
the domestic manufacturers to start selling 2-inch diameter crystal wafers next
August 5, 2014...Vishay Semiconductor GmbH, Heilbronn, Germany has acquired an MOCVD system
from Aixtron to expand its production capacity for infrared LEDs. Vishay plans
to substantially expand its range infrared LED products. Aixtron delivered the
system to Vishay at the end of March.
We opted for Aixtrons planetary reactor, as it deposits
high-quality layers and offers very high production stability, long operating
times, and high throughput rates. Not only that, Aixtron will support us with
process expertise, thus enabling us to rapidly and efficiently expand our
gallium arsenide-based infrared LED production, said Dr. Heinz
Nather, senior vice president OPTO Division at Vishay Semiconductor.
Dr. Frank Schulte, vice president of Aixtron Europe said, We have
great expectations of our ongoing cooperation with Vishay.
Vishay Semiconductor GmbH in Heilbronn, Germany forms part of Vishay
Intertechnology, Inc. of Malvern, Pennsylvania, USA, which has about 22,000
employees and sales of almost US$ 2.5 billion.
July 31, 2014...Veeco Instruments Inc. announced that Xiamen Changelight Co.,
Ltd.(Changelight) has chosen Veeco to be its main equipment provider as it
begins to produce gallium nitride (GaN)-based blue/green high brightness LEDs
for general lighting and displays. Changelight purchased multiple TurboDisc®
MaxBright® M™ GaN Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) systems
during the second quarter of 2014. Changelight also bought a TurboDisc
K475™ MOCVD system to expand its manufacturing of red, orange, and yellow
(ROY) LEDs.
"In the past we have used competitive MOCVD equipment for the
majority of our production of ROY LEDs," said Professor Wang
Xiangwu, general manager of Changelight. "As we make this important
move into the GaN-based lighting market, we decided to switch to Veeco's
MaxBright M MOCVD system, which we believe will offer the best throughput and
cost of ownership to help enable our success and growth in the general
illumination market."
According to Veeco, the MaxBright M has a compact, modular design for
improved serviceability, and compared to the standard MaxBright MOCVD system it
has up to 15% increased footprint efficiency. The system reportedly has more
layout configuration options, which allow it to fit various fab spacing
requirements. Veeco says its sub-floor storage enables more wafer starts per
square foot for a lower cost of ownership.
"Changelight's decision to purchase Veeco's MOCVD
platform for its GaN LED production reflects our ability to develop innovative
manufacturing solutions with the best performance," said Jim Jenson,
senior vice president and general manager of Veeco MOCVD. "We have
seen Changelight dominate the ROY market in China for some time and believe
that, with our technology and its knowledge of the industry, Changelight is
well positioned to successfully expand into the backlighting and general
illumination market."
July 11, 2014...In a significant change to Veeco Intrument's business model, the company of
Plainview, New York USA has launched the Veeco MarketPlace website,
www.veecomarketplace.com. The website is an original equipment manufacturer
(OEM) brokerage that helps buyers and sellers determine fair prices for
pre-owned Veeco metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), Ion Beam Etch
(IBE), and physical vapor deposition (PVD) systems. The site will also offer
assets from Veeco Certified Partners, such as SurplusGLOBAL, Inc., a secondary
equipment supplier. All equipment posted on the website is eligible for Veeco's
exclusive pre-purchase assessments and logistical support.
The site allows potential buyers to see pre-owned equipment for sale and
determine whether to purchase it as-is or with Veeco services. Veeco also plans
to offer equipment checks, refurbish-and-repair programs, upgrades and
logistical and relocation services. Veeco says that sellers who post their
pre-owned equipment on the site can get advice and assistance from its sales
team to advertise and promote the equipment to a specific target market.
"The Veeco MarketPlace brings great value to both the buyer and
seller," said Guy Shechter, vice president, Veeco Certified
Equipment and Services Marketing. "With this new site, sellers gain
access to their targeted customers through and with OEM support, and buyers can
make quick, informed decisions on prices and purchases. Once the buyer and
seller agree on the fair market value for the asset, Veeco can provide valuable
services and upgrades to extend the life and improve the productivity of the
Industry insiders have speculated that in addition to changing the Veeco's business model, the new website could potentially lower the costs for companies wanting to fabricate LED chips.
June 26, 2014...Researchers from the University of Tokyo have used a sputtering
method transcribing GaN LEDs on glass substrates. The new
fabrication technique may eventually help reduce manufacturing costs
or help develop OLED light panels. The researchers have not yet
measured external quantum efficiency or luminous efficiency for any
single color. The team is currently testing the internal quantum
efficiency at low temperatures.
The researchers note that InGaN LEDs are limited to applications in
small devices because InGaN LED fabrication involves expensive metal
organic vapor phase epitaxy on single-crystal wafers. However, the
researchers successfully employed sputtering, a less expensive
epitaxial growth process, on large-area substrates to fabricate
large-area InGaN LED displays.
The use of multilayer graphene buffer layers allowed the growth of
highly c-axis-oriented GaN films even on amorphous substrates.
The team fabricated blue, red, and green InGaN LEDs. The
researchers believe that their method of sputtering to produce
full-color LEDs on amorphous substrates could be adapted to
fabricate large-area inorganic LED displays on glass substrates.
Already, sputtering is frequently used in the LCD industry.
The researchers point out that advances in the glass industry can
offer roll-to-roll processing of flexible glass foils. Furthermore,
the team contends that a combination of these methods may lead to
the development of large-area flexible inorganic devices.
June 12, 2014...Of the 1917 MOCVD systems in operation globally as of May
2014, Taiwan-based LED makers accounted for 28.6%. Japan-based LED
makers accounted for 23.8%, China-based makers 22.9%, and
South Korea-based makers 14.1%, according to Digitimes
Research. The MOCVD systems used to produce sapphire wafers
had a total monthly capacity of 888,290 4-inch wafers. Of the
sapphire wafer capacity, Taiwan-based makers accounted for 44.5%,
China-based makers 34.2% and South Korea-based makers 19%, Digitimes
Research noted. Digitimes Research found that Sapphire ingot
makers have a total monthly production capacity of 7.39
million mm in 2014, with 770,600mm that can be sliced into 4-inch
June 4, 2014...Comprel Srl, an Italian electronics distributor, has agreed to

MOBILE, Ala. (NNS) -- MOBILE, Ala. - A ceremony celebrating the laying and authentication of the keel of the future USNS Trenton (JHSV 5) was held at the Austal USA shipyard, today.
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
The keel was authenticated by the ship's sponsor, Virginia Kamsky, who confirmed that it was truly and fairly laid. Although the laying of the keel has historically signified the start of ship fabrication, modern technologies make it possible for the shipbuilding process to commence months before the keel has been laid.
"I want to thank our shipbuilders who are working so hard, from each keel laying to each delivery, to ensure the Navy receives the strongest, most flexible and capable ships possible," said Capt. Henry Stevens, Strategic and Theater Sealift Program Manager, Program Executive Office (PEO), Ships. "Trenton's keel laying marks the first significant milestone in her journey to delivery and eventual support of a variety of missions around the world."
JHSV 5 benefits from program maturity, building on the lessons learned from the earlier ships in the class. The ship leverages commercial design and technologies to ensure design stability and lower development costs.
Upon completion, USNS Trenton will be used for the rapid transport of troops, equipment, and supplies over operational distances, in support of a variety of missions including maneuver and sustainment, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. JHSV 5 is capable of transporting 600 short tons of military cargo 1,200 nautical miles at an average speed of 35 knots.
The JHSV is capable of interface with roll-on/roll-off discharge facilities, features an off-load ramp and a flight deck, and has a shallow draft of less than 15 feet. Its speed and ability to access austere port environments, as well as the size and versatility of its cargo capabilities, makes the JHSV an extremely flexible asset for support of a wide range of operations.
The fourth ship to be named after New Jersey's capital city, JHSV 5 honors the values and the men and women of the city as well as the state of New Jersey. USNS Trenton will be owned and operated by Military Sealift Command (MSC), operating within MSC's Sealift program. She will be manned by a crew of 22 civil service mariners with military mission personnel embarking as required.
As one of the Department of Defense's largest acquisition organizations, PEO Ships is responsible for executing the development and procurement of all destroyers, amphibious ships, special mission and support ships and special warfare craft. Delivering high-quality warfighting assets - while balancing affordability and capability - is key to supporting the Navy's Maritime Strategy.
