MPBN Quotes Brewer in Report on Support Sought for Minimum Wage Increase
Mark Brewer, a political science professor at the University of Maine, was quoted in a Maine Public Broadcasting Network report about advocates for raising the federal minimum wage urging lawmakers, including Republican Sen. Susan Collins, to take action when Congress resumes next week. Collins is seen as having a key role in bringing a filibustered bill back on the floor, according to the article. Collins said she will attempt a compromise, but Brewer says that may be difficult during this congressional session. "Given where the leadership has staked itself on this, and the fact that it's an election year, and that the control of the United States Senate is so hotly contested, I would guess no," Brewer said of the likelihood of Congress taking action this session.
Mandzik Speaks with Korea Times About New UMaine, Korean High School Partnership
The Korea Times spoke with Carol Mandzik, manager of Business Graduate Programs and Executive Education and Internship Programs at the University of Maine, for an article about a new partnership between UMaine and Wooshin High School, a private high school in Seoul, South Korea. Mandzik said UMaine has worked with five Korean universities, but this is the first agreement with a Korean high school. "We're very proud of this," she said. "I have the utmost respect for Wooshin High School based on their value system, learning environment, and their strong administration." Mandzik said the partnership will allow the university to attract students who want to study abroad.

Phys.org Carries Report on UMaine Sandpiper Monitoring Research
Phys.org carried a University of Maine report about a two-year study of semipalmated sandpipers being conducted by biologists Rebecca Holberton and Lindsay Tudor. This year, like last, Holberton, a professor at UMaine, and Tudor, a wildlife biologist with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, are conducting health assessments and placing "nano tags" on sandpipers to monitor their movements. The scientists hope to learn more about the birds' stay on the Maine coast during their migration from the Arctic to South America.
Two Students Receive Fulbright Canada Awards
Two University of Maine students have been selected by Fulbright Canada as Killam Fellows for the 2014-15 academic year.
Claire Fouchereaux of Yarmouth, a history and French major, will study at the University of Montreal this spring. Nicole Turmel of Hermon, an international affairs major, is studying at the University of Ottawa this fall.

UMaine to Test Full Emergency Notification System Sept. 18
The University of Maine will conduct its annual emergency communications system test Thursday, Sept. 18, beginning at noon. Three outdoor sirens will sound for several minutes shortly after noon. They are audible throughout campus and, under certain conditions, in surrounding communities.
The sirens are part of UMaine's multifaceted emergency communications system established in 2007 that allows university safety and communications professionals to use several mechanisms to quickly communicate vital information to the community during emergency situations.
When UMaine's emergency communication system is activated, several notifications occur: A text message is sent to subscribers of UMaine's umaine.txt system; information is posted on the university's homepage, the UMaine portal and the university's intranet, FirstClass; and a recorded telephone message may be heard by dialing 581.INFO. After those messages are delivered, police sound the sirens.
With the start of the academic year, members of the University of Maine community are reminded to register to receive UMaine's emergency notifications. The emergency notification service alerts the UMaine community to public safety issues, including inclement weather conditions causing class cancellations.
Registration for texts and/or email alerts may be done online.
If you have already registered, watch for the test message of the emergency notification system on the 15th of every month. If you do not receive a text or email test alert, please reregister the email address or cellphone number you're using.
Michele Girard: Volunteering in Haiti
Click here to view more student profiles
University of Maine senior Michele Girard is a political science major with a minor in international affairs. The North Yarmouth, Maine, native is an Honors College and Dean's List student, and an accomplished athlete, with three top-10 triathlon finishes in her age category. In September 2014, Girard is volunteering to work with youngsters in Haiti as part of the Be Like Brit organization.
Describe the organization you are volunteering through.
The organization I am working for is called Be Like Brit. The orphanage was started from tragedy. Britney Gengel was 19 and volunteering in Haiti when she was killed in the 2010 earthquake. Before the quake hit, she had sent a text to her mom saying that she wanted to start an orphanage. A year later, her family started Be Like Brit, one of the most unique orphanages in the country. The goal is to house 66 children; they have just accepted their 47th.
I chose Be Like Brit because its story was so personal. They founded an orphanage in her name, I knew it was a group I'd want to work for because of the compassion of this family.
What will you be doing in Haiti?
When you apply to be a Britsionary, a long-term one, you can stay one to three months. To be accepted, you have to submit a proposal for what you would like to teach the children, as well as a detailed outline of the goals you plan to achieve. My proposal was to teach field hockey, a sport they don't know, because it provided a lot of structure in my life when I played at Catherine McAuley High School in Portland, Maine. I thought it would help these children, too. For one month, I'll be living at the orphanage teaching the sport, as well as working on various renovation projects and teaching English.
Beyond academics, what extracurricular activities occupy your time?
I am the current president of the Delta Mu Chapter of Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity. I also teach in the children's program at Sugarloaf Mountain, and have participated in triathlons in the New England area. I love to travel. This past May, I went to Russia with the Maine Business School and have been to England, France, Ireland and Canada, and, in a few weeks, Haiti as well.
What are your plans after graduation?
I hope to attend graduate school for foreign service. I'd be assigned as an ambassador to countries where the Unites States want to maintain a presence; most current ambassadors are going to places the Middle East, Latin America and Africa. It is a two to four year program for graduate schools such as John Hopkins, Harvard and Georgetown.
What difference has UMaine made in your life and in helping you reach your goals?
The support I have had here on campus has been overwhelming. My professors have gone above and beyond to ensure that I can reach my academic goals. But more than that, they have cared and continue to care about my development and achievements outside of the classroom.
Why UMaine?
UMaine was special to me because it allowed me to explore what I wanted. There are such a variety of departments and classes, I can be extremely well rounded. In addition, the relationships students have with each other add perspectives that I knew I wanted to have in my collegiate experience.
How would you describe UMaine's academic atmosphere?
Rigorous. The classes I have taken both in the Honors College and in the Political Science Department require me to constantly re-evaluate what I know about the world. Every day I get excited about a new idea, whether it is an unfamiliar phrase in one of my language classes or upcoming U.S. foreign policy. I am never bored.
Have you worked closely with a professor or mentor who made your UMaine experience better?
I am so fortunate to have many mentors on campus. For example, with my trip to Haiti, the Political Science Department, as well as the Honors College, bent over backward to shift my classes so I could go. I think that says volumes for how much the staff cares about the success of students and the role of the UMaine community in the world.
What is your favorite place on campus?
The highest riser at the football stadium. I have woken up at 3 or 4 a.m., walked to the football field, and climbed to the highest place I can to watch the sun come up over campus. Sometimes friends are with me and sometimes I'm alone, but it always seems to help me think.
While in Orono, I've spent too much time…
Chatting with Professor Singleton about foreign policy.
Class that nearly did you in?
It was my freshman year and I had Professor Brewer for a freshman seminar in the Honors College. He is now my adviser and one of the professors I respect most on campus, but he was tough. I was introduced to the rigors college very quickly.
If I knew then what I know now, I would have …
Taken the time to really listen to people. It's one thing to not talk, but I've learned it's another to really understand who they are.

Press Herald, MPBN Interview Bricknell About Sea Lice Conference
The Portland Press Herald and Maine Public Broadcasting Network spoke with Ian Bricknell, a University of Maine aquaculture biology professor, about the 10th annual Sea Lice Conference he helped organize. More than 200 researchers from the around the world are attending the Portland conference. This is the first year the conference is being held in the United States. Sea lice — a parasite that grazes on the skin of fish — are estimated to cost the global aquaculture industry about $300 million a year, Bricknell said. The Press Herald also mentioned the establishment of the Sustainable Ecological Aquaculture Network, or SEANET, at UMaine, thanks to a $20 million grant from the National Science Foundation. The grant's goal is to turn Maine's 3,500-mile coast into a "living laboratory" to study social and environmental interactions among sustainable ecological aquaculture and coastal communities and ecosystems.
Riordan Quoted in National Post Article on How Maine Almost Became Part of Canada
The National Post of Canada spoke with University of Maine history professor Liam Riordan for the article, "New Ireland: How Maine almost became part of Canada at the end of the War of 1812." The article states a history museum in Castine is hosting an exhibition on the lost Canadian province, New Ireland. British forces in pre-Confederation Canada seized Northern Maine during the final months of the War of 1812, according to the article, and if the land-grab succeeded, it would have yielded an area two-thirds the size of present-day New Brunswick. "If British diplomats and strategic thinkers had been more strongly committed to this idea, a very alternative outcome is easy to imagine," Riordan said.
MPBN Interviews Brewer About Attack Ads in Maine Governor's Race
The Maine Public Broadcasting Network spoke with University of Maine political scientist Mark Brewer for a report about PACs unveiling attack ads against opposing Maine gubernatorial candidates. "Campaigns use attack ads because they know they work," Brewer said, adding the ads have a proven track record. "They're a way to move and influence undecided voters, and even voters who may think they have their minds made up but they're not fully committed," he said.
Provost Hecker Mentioned in BDN Article on KeepME Home Initiative
Jeff Hecker, University of Maine's executive vice president of academic affairs and provost, was mentioned in a Bangor Daily News article about House Speaker Mark Eves' KeepMe Home initiative to help senior citizens remain in their homes.

The initiative includes a $65 million bond package that would build 1,000 new apartment units for seniors in 40 communities and reduce taxes for seniors.
Pershing Talks to NECN About Warming Trend, Effects on Seafood Industry
Andrew Pershing, an associate professor in UMaine's School of Marine Sciences and researcher at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, was interviewed by NECN for a report about how Gulf of Maine warming trends could have a major effect on the state's fishing industry. Pershing said the warming temperatures could increase lobster landings in the short term, but could have a negative impact on lobster health and reproduction rates in the future. "The big worry is if we were to stay on this trend for a number of years, we could see some of the same shellfish disease issues that have devastated southern New England," Pershing said. WLBZ (Channel 2) carried the NECN report.
Free Press Reports on Hutchinson Center's New Associate Director
The Free Press reported Patricia Libby, a member of the instructional and student services staff at the University of Maine Hutchinson Center since 2011, has been named associate director of the Belfast-based outreach facility.

Steneck, Pershing Quoted in AP Article on Gulf of Maine Warming
Bob Steneck, a marine scientist at the University of Maine, and Andrew Pershing, an associate professor in UMaine's School of Marine Sciences and researcher at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, were interviewed for the Associated Press article, "Gulf of Maine: 'Poster child' for global warming." The warmer water contributed to an overabundance of lobsters in recent years, causing prices to tumble, the article states. Steneck said continued warming could force the crustaceans to move north or die off. Pershing said increased carbon dioxide in the air has contributed to rising temperatures of the oceans. His research shows the Gulf is among the fastest-warming bodies of water, and he cites shifts in the Gulf stream as a possible cause. ABC News, The Washington Post, CBC News and Business Insider carried the AP report.
Maine Savings Unveils Plan to Support UMaine Athletics, BDN, WVII Report

Using Github For Your Hackathon
Posted on 03-21-2012
I've spent a lot of time trying to track on what gets created at hackathons. Some innovative programming occurs at these events and I'd say 98% of it is forgotten by Monday morning.
I think a lot of attention is given to the myth that hackathons are about building startups. When in reality, how many startups come out of hackathons? In my opinion the top three things that come out of a hackathon are:
- Marketing - For the event organizer, sponsors and for participants.
- Talent Acquisition - There is some seriously talented folks attending hackathons.
- Networking - Hackathons are a great place to meet people, network, make friends and sure maybe a co-founder.
Beyond that I think there is a lot of code that gets generated at hackathons, that really never goes anywhere. Much of this code is not immediately VC fundable, but still some of it is really good. And I see a lot of kids spending whole weekends writing the same or similar code as I saw the weekend before.
To help remedy this, I suggest that event organizers use Github. Just like every hackathon organizer should identify a Twitter #hashtag for the event, you should setup a Github organization and add your hackers as users. Encourage them to commit their code through-out the hackathon, and wrap up the weekend with a nice README file of their project.
Seems like a great way to showcase what was built over the weekend, make the intellectual property open and accessible for other people to use, and make it easier for other hackathon participants to build off what has already been created in the past.

For anyone that thinks 26 children dead is bad, they'd better consider how many men, women AND children have died after a nation has been disarmed. To have guns is by far better than to not.

More than 100 medical schools nationwide, including the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine, Thursday pledged to work to enhance "the wellness of America's veterans, service members and their families" and seek to improve care and research into traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder.
The schools, through the Joining Forces initiative – launched by First Lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden – made a pledge to do their part in improving support and services to members of the military.
The Association of American Medical Colleges and the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine joined in the pledge, along with more than 100 schools.

Dr. Lawrence Smith, founding dean of the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine, said North Shore-LIJ since 2006 has served military personnel and their families through its Rosen Family Wellness Center for Law Enforcement and Military Personnel and Their Families.
"The health system has extensive experience diagnosing and treating military service members and their families with behavioral health issues," Smith said. "This commitment to veterans carries over to our medical school and our curriculum."
Medical schools in more than 40 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, responsible for educating nearly 79 percent of all U.S. medical school students, pledged to enhance medical education to ensure physicians are trained in what the Association of American Medical Colleges called the " unique clinical challenges of caring for military service members, veterans and their families."
Institutions that made the pledge include the Harvard Medical School, Yale School of Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine and the State University of New York Upstate Medical University as well as dozens of others nationwide.
"Because of our integrated missions in education, clinical care and research, America's medical schools are uniquely positioned to take a leadership role in this important effort," said Dr. Darrell G. Kirch, CEO of the Association of American Medical Colleges. "The relationship between the Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers and academic medicine dates back to the end of World War II and serves as a model for successful partnerships between public and private institutions."
The schools plan to share up-to-date diagnostic and therapeutic information on traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder and seek to improve health care and wellness for those suffering from these problems.
The North Shore-LIJ Health System also said it received a $300,000 matching grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to support a behavioral health center in Bay Shore for military veterans and their families.
The system said it will work with United States Department of Veterans Affairs and its Northport Medical Center to provide mental health services to veterans and their families at that center.
North Shore-LIJ said the program in Bay Shore will "ensure that service members, especially those returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, receive high-quality mental health services for themselves, their spouses and children under one roof."

One of the most beautiful reminders for us to give thanks is found in Psalms 100:4-5, which reads, "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise; be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations." How can we, here at Hebron and Grace Home, fail to give thanks to the mighty provider and sustainer of all these good things. He continues to meet our daily physical needs, our continual demanding spiritual needs for direction and purpose. He is always directing the right people to this ministry at just the right time. The Lord truly is good and everlasting!
We are so thankful to Him for directing our time of fellowship and worship during our Spring Reunion, Memorial Day weekend. It was our largest and most attended reunion on record. The joy of the Lord was so apparent during the entire weekend. We were blessed with awesome spirit-filled singing and truth-impacting preaching and testimony. His truth does endure to all generations. We were able to utilize our newly constructed cooler and freezer project as our kitchen staff prepared such wonderful and delicious meals. The beautiful new deck project was so welcomed and appreciated as we enjoyed fellowship together. The newly added parking spaces are a true blessing for our special events and even for the regular daily activities here at Hebron. We have so many things for which to be thankful to our Lord.
We have just enjoyed an incredible day of golf and fellowshipping fun at Boone Golf Course during our annual fundraising golf tournament. It appears to be shaping up as the most profitable tournament since its inception. Again, the praise goes to the Lord and to the benevolence of our wonderful and faithful supporters. We are extremely grateful to the many businesses and companies that were corporate and hole sponsors. Obviously, we cannot have a golf tournament without golfers, so to the many golfers that participated in the tournament this year, thank you so very much. We hope to see all of you again next year on the first Saturday in August 2015, the Lord willing!
We are seeing the Lord doing great and miraculous things here at Hebron and also at Grace Home. We are experiencing the Lord directing the Ministry at Grace Home like no other time during our relocation to Santee. There is a unified spirit among our staff and with our many volunteers. Truly, when the Lord leads, there is unity. Please don't forget to mark your calendars on October 25th for our annual Homecoming at Grace Home. It is always a joyful time of worship and fellowship.
We are looking forward to our Hebron Fall Homecoming gathering during the Labor Day weekend, August 29th-September 1st. On Sunday morning, we are so blessed to have Clebe McClary, one of the most sought after inspirational speakers in the country. He has spoken to thousands of audiences all over the world motivating and inspiring them with his personal journey of endurance and faithfulness. You will truly be blessed when you hear his incredible life story. Invite a friend and plan to be with us here, at Hebron, for this exciting and special event. Always remember, "The Lord is good and His truth endures to all generations."
Serving together,

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
I am come that they might
have life, and that they might have it
more abundantly."
John 10:10
The phrase "and that they might have it more abundantly" begs the question----what does "more abundantly" mean? As we grow as Christians we experience firsthand what it means to each of us as an individual. The blessings that flow into our lives as the result of our love for, and obedience to the Lord enrich our lives beyond anything we could have hoped for. The peace we maintain during our times of trial and tribulation is a peace that cannot be explained. Even the pruning and discipline the Lord imposes upon us gives us a warm feeling of gratitude knowing it is because of His great love for us. We learn that there is no limit to the "abundant life" He so generously showers over us.
Grace Home ladies come to us broken and downtrodden. Many of the ladies have been brought up in Christian homes, having known Jesus their whole lives, yet have drastically drifted away from Him. Some of our ladies know about Jesus or of Him, but know nothing about having an intimate/personal relationship with Him. Very few of our ladies, if any, can relate at all to an "abundant life" through Him. All hope of a fulfilling life worth living has been snuffed out. As the ladies begin their journey at Grace Home, they are uncertain about what to expect. They listen as senior ladies share their renewed hope and their plans for the future. They learn the word of God that promises them a new life as a new creation in Christ. They hear it but they can't relate to it at that point. As their journey continues, the Lord reveals things to them, heals them, gives them wisdom to understand and to open their eyes, and most importantly, He convicts them of their wrongdoing. We encourage the ladies to do the "right thing" in all things, starting with the littlest of things: follow the rules at Grace Home, handle conflicts with love as opposed to defense, judgment and condemnation, put others before themselves, etc. We teach them that obedience always brings blessings. Disobedience always brings consequences. As they grow in knowledge of the Word and apply what they've learned into their lives (even in the littlest of things) they begin to experience the power of God: they begin to recognize the presence and purpose of the Holy Spirit in their lives. The Lord continues to reach out to them calling them closer and closer to Him. They are on their way to experiencing "the abundant life" the Lord has promised to each of us. From that point forward, it is all about them continuing their journey to become more like Christ, resisting the temptation of satan, and making the choice, in all things, to do the right thing, in the little things and the big things, that life brings our way.
"His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness."
2 Peter 1:3
Grace Home is a prime example of God's provision in abundance, in all things. The past several months have been mostly consumed with harvesting our gardens, then canning and freezing everything for the upcoming year. Our freezers are overflowing and our pantry is more than adequately stocked for the year. It literally felt like there would be no end. Thank You Lord!!!! The ladies are amazed at the entire process relative to the amount of work it takes to maintain/harvest the gardens, to preserve everything in various ways and then to experience the great sense of accomplishment in the end with our beautiful and tasty jams, pickles, salsas, garden vegetables, etc. It truly is one of the most rewarding undertakings the Lord has blessed us with. In addition, our grounds have never looked more beautiful than they have this year. A lot of hard work and a lot of love have been poured into creative beautification and diligent maintenance activities. Clearly, the Lord has His hands on every detail of Grace Home's existence. We are ever so grateful to Him every day for every lady He brings to us, for every heart He changes, for every life He transforms, for every blessing He bestows upon us, and most of all, for His great love for us that never ends. We never forget, nor take for granted, that all of this is possible only through all of you who support us in so many different ways. We thank all of you with all our hearts and pray that you are blessed as much, and more than the blessings you so generously provide to us.
"Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance."
Jude 1:2

Posts tagged: Daniel Neace
A 23-year-old man who participated in an armed robbery spree was sentenced Tuesday to 3 1/2 years in prison.
Nathan J. Molina received 43 months in prison for second-degree robbery, according to court records. That will be served at the same time as 51-month sentence for first-degree robbery handed down on March 4.
His accomplice, Daniel I. Neace, is serving 14 years in prison for robbery, assault and unlawful imprisonment. (Neace is pictured.)
The two were arrested July 27, 2009, after Neace, wearing a fake beard, robbed Check into Cash, 555 E. Francis Ave., while his roommate, Michael J. Anderson, distracted the clerk.
Police found Molina sitting in a parked car registered to Neace's father a few block from the cash store. Molina and Neace had portable talk radios tuned to the same channel, according to police.
Neace is in custody at the Airway Heights Corrections Center. Molina had been free on bond but was booked into Spokane County Jail after his first sentencing March 4. He's now awaiting transport to prison.
A 20-year-old Spokane man was ordered to spend 14 years in prison for a robbery spree last summer.
Daniel I. Neace was sentenced this week in Spokane County Superior Court after pleading guilty to four counts of first-degree robbery, three counts of second-degree assault, attempted first-degree robbery, and three counts of unlawful imprisonment. The plea deal dismissed two counts of delivery of a controlled substance (Ecstasy).
Neace was arrested July 27 after police say his roommate, Michael J. Anderson, 21, posed as a customer at Check into Cash, 555 E. Francis, and Neace wore a fake beard to rob the place at gunpoint.
Police found Neace with glue, then seized a fake beard, business floor plans, Pizza Pipeline deposit bags and shotgun shells at the Lincoln Street apartment he shared with Anderson, according to a search warrant.
Police found Nathan J. Molina, 22, sitting in a parked car registered to Neace's father a few blocks from the cash store. Molina and Neace had portable talk radios tuned to the same channel, according to police.
After his arrest, "Neace stated that he was behind in payments on his car that his father had co-signed for," according to court documents.
The crime spree began July 11 when two men robbed Domino's Pizza, 726 W. 3rd Ave., and continued July 15 with three men robbing the Domino's at 2901 N. Argonne Road in Spokane Valley. Four days later, two men robbed Pizza Pipeline at 1724 W. Wellesley Ave.
In addition to 171 months in prison, Neace will be on probation for 18 months after prison and is to pay $3,926 restitution.

Bullmastiff Dogs can make good pets in New York if they match your IifestyIe. The Bullmastiff is a large, powerful dog related to the English Bulldog. Bullmastiffs are very loyal and devoted to their families. Bullmastiffs are very protective and make good guard dogs. A Bullmastiff is a good family pet and gets along well with children, but should be supervised with little ones because of its large size. Bullmastiffs need firm masters. Bullmastiffs need attention and to be treated like part of the family; they should not be left alone. Bullmastiffs may be lazy and not enjoy exercise but need a daily walk and should not be allowed to put on too much excess weight. A Bullmastiff can live in an apartment if it gets enough daily exercise.

This application claims priority under 35 USC � 119 (e)(1) of provisional application No. 60/332,332 filed Nov. 21, 2001.
This application is related to application Ser. No. 10/317,474 filed Dec. 12, 2002 entitled �Digital Micromirror Device Having Mirror-Attached Spring Tips� now U.S. Pat. No. 6,856,446.
This invention relates to micro-electromechanical devices and their fabrication, and more particularly to a digital micromirror device having an improved design.
A Digital Micromirror Device� (DMD�) is a type of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device. Invented in 1987 at Texas Instruments Incorporated, the DMD is a fast, reflective digital light switch. It can be combined with image processing, memory, a light source, and optics to form a digital light processing system capable of projecting large, bright, high-contrast color images.
The DMD is fabricated using CMOS-like processes over a CMOS memory. It has an array of individually addressable mirror elements, each having an aluminum mirror that can reflect light in one of two directions depending on the state of an underlying memory cell. With the memory cell in a first state, the mirror rotates to +10 degrees. With the memory cell in a second state, the mirror rotates to −10 degrees. By combining the DMD with a suitable light source and projection optics, the mirror reflects incident light either into or out of the pupil of the projection lens. Thus, the first state of the mirror appears bright and the second state of the mirror appears dark. Gray scale is achieved by binary pulsewidth modulation of the incident light. Color is achieved by using color filters, either stationary or rotating, in combination with one, two, or three DMD chips.
DMD's may have a variety of designs, and the most popular design in current use is a structure consisting of a mirror that is rigidly connected to an underlying yoke. The yoke in turn is connected by two thin, mechanically compliant torsion hinges to support posts that are attached to the underlying substrate. Electrostatic fields developed between the underlying memory cell and the yoke and mirror cause rotation in the positive or negative rotation direction.
The fabrication of the above-described DMD superstructure begins with a completed CMOS memory circuit. Through the use of six photomask layers, the superstructure is formed with alternating layers of aluminum for the address electrode, hinge, yoke, and mirror layers and hardened photoresist for sacrificial layers that form air gaps.
One aspect of the invention is an array of digital micromirror pixel elements. The array has a structure defined by three layers spaced from each other with an air gap between each layer. A mirror layer has a reflective mirror associated with each pixel element. A hinge layer is spaced under the mirror layer, and has a torsion hinge under each mirror and attached to the mirror such that the mirror may tilt above the hinge layer. An address layer is spaced under the hinge layer, and has circuitry for controlling operation of the pixel elements. The hinge layer further has spring tips under each mirror and mechanically connected to the address layer.
As stated in the Background, conventional DMD designs have a yoke under the mirror, at the hinge level. During operation, the yoke rather than the mirror lands on an underlying landing surface. The yoke has spring tips, used for landing. In the present invention, there is no yoke and the mirror lands on spring tips that are stationary under the mirror at the hinge level.
An advantage of the present invention is that the yoke structure of prior DMD designs is eliminated. This greatly simplifies the DMD structure, as well as its fabrication. Various patterning and etching steps associated with the yoke are eliminated. Fabrication of DMDs in accordance with the invention is expected to significantly increase the current DMD yield.
Also, as compared to previous DMD designs using a yoke, the mirror moves with reduced inertia. This permits faster mirror transition times.
DMD pixel element 10 is a monolithically integrated MEMS superstructure cell fabricated over a CMOS SRAM cell 11. Two sacrificial layers (see
The uppermost metal layer 14 has a reflective mirror 14 a. The air gap under the mirror 14 a frees the mirror 14 a to rotate about a compliant torsion hinge 13 a (shown in
The DMD mirrors 14 a are each 16 um square and made of aluminum for maximum reflectivity. They are arrayed on 17 um centers to form a matrix having a high fill factor (�90%). The high fill factor produces high efficiency for light use at the pixel level and a seamless (pixelation-free) projected image. The hinge layer 13 under the mirrors 14 a permits a close spacing of the mirrors 14, and because of the underlying placement of the hinges, an array of pixel elements 10 is referred to as a �hidden hinge� type DMD architecture.
In operation, electrostatic fields are developed between the mirror 14 a and its address electrodes 12 a, creating an electrostatic torque. This torque works against the restoring torque of the hinge 13 a to produce mirror rotation in a positive or negative direction. The mirror 14 a rotates until it comes to rest (or lands) against spring tips 13 b (see
Through the use of photomasking techniques, the M3 layer 12 is formed above the CMOS 11. This M3 layer 12 is formed with aluminum for address and bus circuitry. The aluminum is sputter-deposited and plasma-etched using plasma-deposited SiO2 as the etch mask. M3 layer 12 may be etched in a pattern used for DMD structures previously described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,028,690, entitled �Reduced Micromirror Gaps for Improved Contrast Ratio, and in U.S. Pat. No. 5,583,688, entitled �Multi-level Digital Micromirror Device�, both assigned to Texas Instruments Incorporated. These patents are incorporated by reference herein.
A spacer layer 21, identified as S1, is then deposited over the M3 layer 11. Spacer layer 21 may be formed from hardened photoresist. Later in the packaging flow, this spacer layer 21 is plasma-ashed to form an air gap. A number of vias are then formed in spacer layer 21, formed by conventional pattern and etching techniques.
Referring to
The packaging flow begins with the wafers partially sawed along the chip scribe lines to a depth that will allow the chips to be easily broken apart later. Before separating the chips from one another, each chip is tested for full electrical and optical functionality by a high-speed automated wafer tester. The chips are then separated from the wafer, and proceed to a plasma etcher that is used to selectively strip the organic sacrificial layers, S1 and S2, from under the mirror layer 14 and hinge layer 13. The chips are then plasma-cleaned, relubricated, and hermetically sealed in a package.
The above-described design is a �diagonal� design, in which mirror 14 rotates around its diagonal. The same design can be easily modified to concepts can be applied to an �orthogonal� design, in which mirror 14 rotates around its flat sides.
In operation, during landing, the torquing around the landed spring tip 13 b reduces back torquing from the non landing tip 13 b. This increases the tilt angle. A reset signal entering the bias line should not be required to initiate a transition. Bias potential and address voltages are expected to be sufficient to operate pixel 10, assuming that the time bias off parameter is sufficient for re-application of bias to achieve the desired transition. Because the spring tips 13 b are at a radius closer to hinge 13 a than is the case with conventional DMD designs, the effects of any holding torque due to stiction is reduced. Also, for purposes of the desired electrostatic operation, pixel 10 provides greater torque for a given pixel-electrode potential difference. This is due to having most of the active torque supplying areas of the address in electrodes and mirror placed as far out radially as possible. The hinge metal may be thicker due to increased electrostatic efficiency.
Although the present invention has been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions, and alterations can be made hereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

From the Publisher"Segue is, as one would expect, a masterful and engaging piece of writing, and happily it works almost as well as a short story as it would have had circumstances permitted it to be the beginning of a longer, finished project…. With the arrival on the shelves of this handsomely designed and important collection, we her readers can experience once again the privilege of stepping into Carol Shields's brilliantly rendered, many-faceted world with all its dramatic contrasts of private light and darkness."
—The Globe and Mail
"A grand gift for a true Shields fan."
—Toronto Star
"No writer in the English-speaking world has written more eloquent, witty and graceful sentences than Carol Shields…. If the purpose of fiction is to break up the frozen seas within us, as Kafka once said, spending a few days in the company of Shields' stories allowed me to re-experience the poignancy of human life and, at the same time, its undeniable comedy, its sensuality and beauty."
—Susan Swan in The National Post
Praise for Carol Shields's short stories:
"Carol Shields's short stories have given me happiness, not just pleasure. They're prismatic; they delight at first by the clear and simple elegance with which they are made, then there is something so bountiful and surprising, like beautiful broken lights."
—Alice Munro
"Every story in this collection is a small, glittering masterpiece."
—National Post
"A radiant gift, a brilliant archive."
—Winnipeg Free Press
"Wry, witty, wise and fiercely intelligent."
—Janette Turner Hospital
"These poignant stories revel in the ordinary, with a few side-trips to the sublime."

"Intelligent, provocative and entertaining."
—The New York Review of Books

My husband of 18 years has been addicted to drugs/alcohol for the last 17 years. He is tearing up our home, physically hurting me, and causing grief and stress for me and our child.

Lord please hear my cries. I am hurting beyond belief as I watch my husband walk farther & farther away from you. His love for you, for me, for this family is gone. He is cold & lifeless & in desperate need of a touch from you. Please breathe new life into his spirit. Ignite the fire within him that he may once again have a heart burning for you. And I also ask Lord, please resurrect this marriage that has suffered from the works of the devil trying to destroy it. I ask in Jesus almighty name that you touch us in a supernatural way.

I'm a single mom struggling to provide for my son. I made the choice to not abort him. Recently my work has put me at one day a week. They say they did this because I called out a lot. It was only two days and it was because I was sick and then my son was sick. I have doctors notes for both days. However my work does not care about me or my son. If I don't pay my rent for November I'm going to be out on the streets with a 20 month old. I am trying to find a job quick. I need a miracle. Please pray for God to help me find another job.

My wife of 7 years walked out on me 9 weeks ago. I didn't see it coming and its been very difficult to deal with. We used to be heavily involved in church and at one time she was heavily involved with leading worship and I was destined to be a church planter. I allowed petty disagreements with church cause me to walk out on God and my fellow brother and sisters and turn my back on my calling. I know stepping out of Gods will definitely took its toll on my marriage and my ability to lead her in a godly direction and now I'm fighting with all I have to get back in the will of God and to pray that the walls around my wife's heart will be broken to receive Jesus and honor our marriage covenant and work together to love God and each other. As of now, she's not willing to communicate or work on our issues and is strongly opposed to counseling and church so please please pray for a breakthrough for her and patience and strength for me! Thanks and God Bless!

By using exams and tests, a doctor can tell the stage of a person's Hodgkin disease. The stage tells the doctor how much and how far the disease has spread. Staging is 1 of the most important factors in deciding what treatment to have for the disease.
The staging system used most often for Hodgkin is the Cotswold's Modification of the Ann Arbor staging system. The stage of a person's lymphoma is indicated by Roman numerals I, II, III, and IV.
The letter B is added if the person has any B symptoms (fever, night sweats, weight loss). If a person does not have these B symptoms, the letter A is added after the Roman numeral. If the Hodgkin disease involves an organ outside the lymphatic system, the letter E is added. If it involves the spleen, the letter S may be added.
The letter X may be added if a person has bulky disease. This means a tumor in the chest is at least one-third as wide as the chest, or a tumor in another area is at least 10 centimeters (about 4 inches) across. This stage of the disease may need more intensive treatment:
Stage I. Stage I means that the Hodgkin disease is only in 1 group of lymph nodes, or it has started in 1 organ and has not moved to another part of the body.
Stage II. Stage II means 2 or more groups of lymph nodes show cancer. The groups of lymph nodes must be on the same side of the diaphragm in the body; all disease is in either the upper or lower half of the body. This means that if the lymph nodes in the neck and underarms both show cancer, it is Stage II. However, if the lymph nodes in the groin and neck show cancer, it is not Stage II, because those 2 parts of the body are on different sides of the diaphragm. Cancer that is in 1 group of lymph nodes and extends directly into a nearby organ is also Stage II.
Stage III. Stage III means there are 2 or more groups of lymph nodes with Hodgkin disease on different sides of the diaphragm, such as the neck and groin. There might also be spread of the cancer from the lymph nodes to nearby organs.
Stage IV. Stage IV means the Hodgkin disease has spread widely through distant organ(s) outside of the lymphatic system. Other lymph nodes in the body may or may not show signs of the cancer. Typical Stage IV disease is when Hodgkin lymphoma is found in the bone marrow or in organs (lung, stomach, liver, bone) away from the involved lymph nodes.

Palmer is a high growth school!
Superintendent Tom Boasberg sent a letter to Palmer today talking about the school's growth on the School Performance Framework or SPF. And while overall the school dipped into the yellow (by less than a point), Palmer showed tremendous growth in numerous areas, including math. Here is an excerpt from his letter:
It is our pleasure to announce the Top Performing and High Growth Schools for the 2013-14 school year. Each year, teachers participating in ProComp earn incentives for serving in schools that are Green or Blue on the School Performance Framework (SPF) and/or on the SPF academic growth indicator. Educators in schools that are Green or Blue on both growth and overall SPF receive both incentives.
We are thrilled that the number of schools that qualify for these incentives continues to grow! This year, nearly 59% of our schools achieved either the Green or Blue status, according to the 2013-14 School Performance Framework, qualifying them as a Top Performing School under ProComp. Additionally, 60% of our schools also achieved Green or Blue status on the combined SPF academic growth measures, qualifying them as a High Growth School. To view the Top Performing list, please click here. To view the High Growth list, please click here. Palmer is on the High Growth list! That means the school is absolutely moving in the right direction. If you would like to learn more about Palmer's performance on the SPF, come to the PTA meeting next Tuesday, Nov. 4, at 6 p.m. in the school library. Principal Dr. Bieneman will share with us the details of that academic measure and what the school is doing about it.
Palmer one of 10 schools selected for Personal Success Factors Pilot
(From DPS's Week in Review Publication)
Palmer was selected as one of 10 Denver Public Schools to pilot a new program that helps teachers address the emotional and social needs of their students. Personal Success Factors systematically integrates ways to help kids grow academically, socially and emotionally. While teachers around DPS already help students develop positive behaviors and habits on a daily basis, the personal success factors pilot schools will work with local and national models to learn about the best ways to integrate these personal success factors at school. Learn more about this exciting program by watching this video highlighting how teachers are learning to apply "grit" into their everyday teaching. A big congratulations goes out to Palmer and the other pilot schools: Colfax, College View, Force, Harrington, Steck, Hill, Morey, CLA and Manual.
Many thanks to BKD Staff Foundation and Bill Schneider and CitiScapes
BKD Staff Foundation generously donated time, labor and made a financial contribution during a volunteer day on August 14 to plant new landscaping in the front of the school and to spruce up the playground. What a wonderful gift to start the school year! Bill Schneider and CitiScapes designed the new landscaping and provided oversight on the project! Many thanks to everyone.
