Londonderry police propose changes to rules for sellers of used goods
According to Londonderry Police Detective Sean Doyle, the process of monitoring local business transactions is extremely time-consuming and isn't very cost effective. After looking into the matter further, police said purchasing a software system from Business Watch International (BWI) would be more efficient.
The system would require all vendors of secondhand goods to keep online records of their merchandise, including photos. Doyle said the police department would provide each business owner with a web camera, though proprietors would be on their own if they wanted to purchase an additional or replacement camera.
During a lengthy discussion Monday evening, Londonderry police officials discussed the legality of having the pawnbrokers report the same way as secondhand dealers.
According to Doyle, local police have already discussed the matter with town prosecutor Kevin Coyle as well as County Attorney Blanchard. He said both agreed the new software follows town and state statutes.
The Salem Police Department recently began using BWI, but Councilor Joe Green said some Londonderry residents still had many concerns on the matter.
"These are important questions: What are the initial costs? Is it cost prohibitive?" Green asked police.
Police officials said startup costs are roughly $3,000 to purchase the software that would be monitoring the town's dozen or so secondhand vendors.
The list of stores includes not only traditional pawnshops, but also jewelry stores selling secondhand items, consignment shops and businesses dealing with sales of scrap metal, and other recyclables.
According to Doyle, the updated ordinance also calls for an increase in licensing fees for applicable businesses.
As it stands now, it costs shop owners $50 for a new business license and $25 for an annual license renewal. Under the new ordinance, it would cost them $250 each year, with those funds to help pay for software costs.
The new ordinance would further shift costs to business owners by enacting a $1 per transaction fee.
Patricia O'Neil, who owns one of the stores that would be affected by the changes, said the changes could cost her around $10,000 and would add further challenges to a small business struggling in an already-strained economy.
"It's just affecting our livelihood," O'Neil told the council.
"Believe me, you wouldn't want to be a criminal and sit with me if you had a box of stolen goods," she added.
Councilor Jim Butler agreed that updates to the ordinance could, in fact, "pose undue burdens on small businesses."
"I think we still have a lot of question on this," Councilor John Farrell said.
The board unanimously agreed to continue the hearing until the May 6 meeting.

Obama Nation? A prediction of the November 4, 2008 Electoral Map
With the current economic crisis and the trooper-gate flap in Alaska, liberal pundits are predicting a sure Obama victory in November. My prediction is that McCain will have pulled even in the polls even before the first debate next week. On November 4, the Electoral College vote will be so skewed, that every media outlet will be embarrassed that they missed the obvious.
This is just my objective analysis of what I think is sure to happen. In other words, don't believe the liberal media hype! In the primaries, Obama usually polled a few points higher than where he ended up in the final results.
Although I am a big fan of Sarah Palin, I am not a McCain supporter. I may end up voting Constitution Party for the fifth time since 1992.
Here is what the Electoral College map could look like on November 4.

The Beast of Revelation: Identified (DVD)
Who is the dreaded beast of Revelation?
Now at last, a plausible candidate for this personification of evil incarnate has been identified (or re-identified). Ken Gentry's insightful analysis of scripture and history is likely to revolutionize your understanding of the book of Revelation — and even more importantly — amplify and energize your entire Christian worldview!
Historical footage and other graphics are used to illustrate the lecture Dr. Gentry presented at the 1999 Ligonier Conference in Orlando, Florida. It is followed by a one-hour question and answer session addressing the key concerns and objections typically raised in response to his position. This presentation also features an introduction that touches on not only the confusion and controversy surrounding this issue — but just why it may well be one of the most significant issues facing the Church today.
Ideal for group meetings, personal Bible study — for anyone who wants to understand the historical context of John's famous letter "… to the seven churches which are in Asia." (Revelation 1:4)

The Silent Scream (DVD) Eight Languages
"When the lives of the unborn are snuffed out, they often feel pain, pain that is long and agonizing." – President Ronald Reagan to National Religious Broadcasters Convention, January 1981
Ronald Reagan became convinced of this as a result of watching The Silent Scream – a movie he considered so powerful and convicting that he screened it at the White House.
The modern technology of real-time ultrasound now reveals the actual responses of a 12-week old fetus to being aborted. As the unborn child attempts to escape the abortionist's suction curette, her motions can be seen to become desperately agitated and her heart rate doubles. Her mouth opens – as if to scream – but no sound can come out. Her scream doesn't have to remain silent, however … not if you will become her voice. This newly re-mastered version features eight language tracks and two bonus videos.
"…a high technology "Uncle Tom's Cabin" arousing public opinion just as Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 antislavery novel ignited the abolitionist movement." – Sen. Gordon Humphrey, Time Magazine

Go Stand Speak (DVD)
With "preaching to the lost" being such a basic foundation of Christianity, why do many in the church seem to be apathetic on this issue of preaching in highways and byways of towns and cities?
Is it biblical to stand in the public places of the world and proclaim the gospel, regardless if people want to hear it or not?
Does the Bible really call church pastors, leaders and evangelists to proclaim the gospel in the public square as part of obedience to the Great Commission, or is public preaching something that is outdated and not applicable for our day and age?
These any many other questions are answered in this documentary.

School bus drivers strike in New York CityMARC SANTORA
The New York Times | January 17,2013AP Photo
A woman arrives with her children by taxi at a public school Wednesday in New York after more than 8,000 New York City school bus drivers and aides went on strike.NEW YORK The first strike of New York City school bus drivers in three decades began Wednesday, leaving more than 150,000 children and their parents to negotiate new ways to class on a soggy, cold winter morning.
As anxious parents worried how long the strike would last, children boarded subways, hailed taxis and shared rides in cars while city officials warned that the labor dispute could last for some time.
It was not easy this morning, schools Chancellor Dennis M. Walcott said at an afternoon news conference. Still, he said, the average attendance at schools across the city was 88.5 percent, down only one percentage point from the average attendance on any given January day.
But some schools were hit harder than others, with those primarily serving special-needs children and not located near public transportation having more than a 20 percent drop in attendance in some cases.
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said that efforts by some strikers to disrupt alternative transportation methods were disgraceful, and during an afternoon news conference he offered no indication that the strike was close to an end.
This strike is about job guarantees that the union just cant have, Bloomberg said.
Earlier in the day, the striking drivers union began running a graphic advertisement on local television channels showing the mangled wreckage of yellow school buses as a childrens chorus sings the familiar song about the wheels of the bus going round and round.
When inexperienced drivers take your kids to school, sometimes they never get there, a female narrator intones, before laying the blame for the strike and any harm it causes on Bloomberg.
While most of the citys 1.1 million students walk or rely on public transportation to get to school, the 152,000 students who rely on school buses include 54,000 special-needs children.
These are not kids that it is easy for them to move to mass transit, Bloomberg said Wednesday morning during an appearance on Channel 5.
Across the city, parents hustled through the rain with children by their sides, with normal daily routines in turmoil and widespread concern about being late for their own jobs.
I have to go to work; now Im late, said Catalina Torres, 51, as she dropped her three grandchildren at school. Torres, who works as a teachers assistant, thought about the prospect of the strike lasting more than a week (the last one, in 1979, lasted 13 weeks) and said simply, Oh my.
Outside schools, cars bunched up and blocked the street at times as parents, navigating the drop-off of their children at school for the first time, jockeyed for space at the curb. The police were seen at several schools helping to keep traffic moving.
Even before the union representing bus drivers, Local 1181 of the Amalgamated Transit Union, went on strike at 6 a.m., the city was making preparations to help families, including providing MetroCards and working out a system to reimburse those who used other means of transportation.
Bloomberg said the city had no plans at the moment to go to court to seek an injunction to force the drivers back to work.
The city, he said, would be holding firm. It is seeking new bids from bus companies that run some of the citys routes, without the traditional job protection guarantees for union members that have been in past contracts. The Bloomberg administration argues that a recent court ruling has found that the city cannot offer the guarantees sought by the union.
We couldnt change our mind and cave if we wanted to, Bloomberg said.
The union has contended that the court rulings are not as clear as Bloomberg claims and has said the decision for its 8,800 drivers and matrons to strike was essentially about childrens safety. (Some buses whose drivers are members of a different union, or not unionized, are still running. The Department of Education is asking parents to call 311 or check its website for the status of particular routes.)
The Education Department said 3,000 bus routes out of approximately 7,700 total routes ran Wednesday. While only 11 percent of the routes serving general education students were running, some 38 percent of the routes for special-needs children were still in service.MORE IN Wire NewsVIENNA Reflecting its lessening oil clout, OPEC decided Thursday to keep its output target on...

A show biz all-rounder, Vincente Minnelli established his Hollywood reputation as one of MGM's premiere directors of musicals, including Cabin in the Sky, Meet Me in St. Louis, The Pirate, The Band Wagon, and An American in Paris. But beginning with The Bad and the Beautiful in 1952, Minnelli brought a comparable brio, if not garishness, to a series of star-studded, widescreen melodramas, four of which are showing this week at Anthology Film Archives in The Bad and the Beautiful: The Melodramas of Vincente Minnelli.
Inevitably giving its irresistible title to the mini-retro, The Bad and the Beautiful features a typically ferocious Kirk Douglas as a larger-than-life Hollywood producer whose career implodes as bad Gloria Graham and beautiful Lana Turner watch. The lunatics even more literally take over the asylum in Minnelli's first Technicolor melodrama, The Cobweb (1955), with Graham sashaying through the bin, playing wife to Richard Widmark's sanitarium director. Adapted from the James Jones bestseller and set in deepest Indiana, Some Came Running (1958) is the first and best of the Rat Pack flicks and stars Frank Sinatra (as an aspiring novelist), Dean Martin (as a professional gambler), and Shirley MacLaine (as the dame who loves them). This is the movie Godard riffs on in Contempt.
Two Weeks in Another Town is Minnelli's self-reflexive sequel to The Bad and the Beautiful (which appears as a clip within). Kirk Douglas is here a fallen star attempting a comeback in a cheap costume spectacle being directed in Rome by Edward G. Robinson. Reviewing Two Weeks 45 years ago in the Anthology house-organ Film Culture, Peter Bogdanovich called it "the kind of movie critics hate and audiences love: critics because it's flashy, loud, and, to them, unimportantaudiences because it's flashy, loud, and to them, exciting." The same might be said of Minnelli's melodramas in general, although now the situation would be reversed. Aug. 15 through 19, Anthology Film Archives.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

BOSTON — Shavlik Randolph is a relatively modest and humble guy when it comes to his athletic skills.
But get the Boston Celtics big man to talk about his ping-pong game and Mr. Modest becomes a pale, taller, fuller-haired version of Chad Ochocinco, who not that long ago wouldn't hesitate to let you or your favorite about-to-be-torched defensive back know how talented he was.
"I'm not going to be modest; I'm great, actually," Randolph, grinning, said about his ping-pong prowess.
It is a game that relies heavily on the eyes and hands being on a string; on not just guessing, but knowing, where the ball is going to be before it gets there.
Randolph applies those same traits to his rebounding game, which has been surprisingly strong in his relatively short time with the Celtics.
Although Randolph is averaging 4.7 rebounds in 12 games for the Celtics, he's doing it in just 13.1 minutes per game.
To put his rebounding success in proper perspective, per 36 minutes his rebounding average jumps to 12.8 per game.
When examining more highly-regarded rebounders and their per-36-minute average, Randolph's rebounding is actually better than the league's top rebounder, Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard (12.6); future Hall of Famer and San Antonio legend Tim Duncan (12.0); New York's Tyson Chandler (11.7), and arguably the most famous Randolph in the NBA, Memphis' Zach Randolph (11.6).
Shavlik Randolph's rebounding skills, much like shooting or passing, have been honed from years and years of practice.
Mike Hollis has worked with Randolph's rebounding dating back to Randolph's freshman year at Broughton High School in Raleigh, N.C.
While both Hollis and Randolph attribute some of his rebounding success to his willingness to embrace what has been more than a decade spent learning how to become a better rebounder, some of it is just God-given talent, too.
"The ball seemed to have a way of finding him," Hollis told CSNNE.com in a phone interview. "He could go into the shower, clean up, and the ball would be waiting for him in the hallway. He was that good, all the time."
While flattered, Randolph acknowledges that his rebounding success of late has to do with two things: hard work and staying healthy.
He recalls drills as a teenager under Hollis' watchful eye in which he would be on the court and have to rebound for two or three players shooting the ball with a relatively short period of time between shots.
"My goal was to not let the ball hit the floor," Randolph said.
Hollis recalls drills with multiple shooters behind the arc while Randolph and maybe another player would have to listen for plays to be called, certain shooters to be told to shoot and Randolph would have to get to the spot where he thought the ball would be before it got there.
It wasn't easy, but it was clear to Hollis even then that Randolph was a special talent - and not just because he was a 6-8 high school freshman, either.
"Not only did he listen with his ears, but he listened with his eyes," said Hollis, founder of Networks Basketball (www.networksbasketball.com), which has trained and developed young basketball players since 1993.
And what Hollis saw with his eyes was a blossoming basketball player who seemed focused on doing one thing every day in practice - find a way to get better.
"Over the years, what I recognized about him that's so, so different than many players: he can do the same thing over and over again and he doesn't get bored with it," Hollis said. "Work ethic is a skill. I don't know if babies are born with work ethic; I think it's developed. And inside of that, what's also developed is this attention to this, 'I will do this over and over again.' You hear about really great athletes and you hear about really great pianists. They have that. They did it over and over and over again and they don't get bored with it. There's a willingness to work at it, and Shav's willingness to work, he wanted to work at it and he wanted to hone it."
His hard work paid off handsomely, as he finished his high school career as one of the most decorated basketball players in the tradition-rich state of North Carolina.
A McDonald's All-American and two-time Parade All-American, Randolph set a slew of school records that were previously held by future NBA Hall of Famer Pistol Pete Maravich.
Randolph had size, skills and he was on his way to Duke, where dreams of helping lead the Blue Devils to a national championship danced happily in his mind.
But life on the Durham, N.C. campus didn't exactly work out how he anticipated.
As a high school senior, life for Randolph could not have been much better. He was a dominant force on the floor, and looked every bit like a college stud-in-the-making and eventual NBA talent.
It was a path all too familiar to his family, a path that was first blazed by his grandfather - and the man he was named after - Ronnie Shavlik, who was an All-American center at North Carolina State and became a first-round pick (fourth overall) of the New York Knicks in 1956.
Randolph played well as a senior, but started to have some discomfort around his hip area.
Little did he know that would be just one of the many injury-related setbacks in his college and pro basketball odyssey.
His first game with Duke was against Army, and he scored 23 points to go with 7 rebounds. Days later, he had notched his first double-double against Davidson.
From there, things got progressively worse with a slew of health-related setbacks, from sprained ankles to mononucleosis.
But the worst of them all was the hip surgery he underwent between his sophomore and junior year.
"I just couldn't play through the pain of it anymore," Randolph said.
Randolph returned, but he was never the same player and saw his playing time significantly reduced.
Disappointed at the time, in hindsight it might have been the best thing to happen to him.
"It really prepared me to handle the situations I found myself in as a pro in the NBA," Randolph said. "When I came back at Duke, they needed me to fill a specific role off the bench and I tried to do that. Here in the NBA, it's pretty much the same: come in, provide energy, defend, rebound and help my team win."
Boston is Randolph's fourth different NBA team. He's never appeared in more than 57 games in a season, and that was as a rookie in 2006 with Philadelphia.
While he has been an NBA role player, Randolph did showcase some offensive skills during his recent stint in China with the Foshon Long Lions, in which he averaged 32 points and 14.6 rebounds per game.
Randolph's success in China certainly had a lot to do with him being better than the competition.
But more than that, Randolph believes being free from any kind of significant injury was important.
Said Randolph: "I told people, when I can string together a few years in a row without an injury - or a career-threatening or career-altering one, like the hip - and be able to just work and concentrate on my game and not have to worry about getting back healthy, I've proven I can be an effective player at this level."
He certainly has for the Celtics, who gave him back-to-back 10-day contracts before signing him for the remainder of the season and partially guaranteeing him next season.
Not only is Randolph with the Celtics for the rest of the year, but he's also making a strong case to be in the C's playoff rotation ahead of another Raleigh native, Chris Wilcox.
With Kevin Garnett (inflammation, left foot) back after having missed eight straight games, coach Doc Rivers elected to use Randolph first off the bench in Sunday's win over Washington and came with Wilcox in the second quarter.
Rivers has gone out of his way to leave the battle for backup minutes as wide open as possible, but it's clear Randolph is making it extremely tough for Rivers to go into the postseason without having him in the mix as far as playing time.
"He's playing great," Rivers said of Randolph. "Just leave it at that; he's just playing great basketball and we're going to keep playing him."
And Randolph will continue to embrace each and every opportunity he gets, well aware that much of his success will hinge on his ability to continue impacting the game with his rebounding.
And while many of the game's better rebounders do so with their size or athleticism, the 6-10 Randolph sees a different path - literally - to being a beast on the boards.
Not a game passes where the visualization drills that he began as a high school freshman with Hollis, don't in some way help him out in a game.
"I'm going up against guys that are bigger than me, more athletic than me on this level," he said. "I have to be able to anticipate well. That's a big part of rebounding, just being able to anticipate where the ball is going to be. That's something that we put an emphasis on, whether I was doing offensive drills or defensive drills. We did a lot of stuff that worked on my anticipation of things; that's something I was able to develop with him at an early age."
And it shows in his knack for getting rebounds . . . and in playing ping-pong too.

An improved method of forming a LED with a roughened surface is described. Traditional methods of roughening a LED surface utilizes strong etchants that require sealing or protecting exposed areas of the LED. The described method uses a focused laser to separate the LED from the substrate, and a second laser to roughen the LED surface thereby avoiding the use of strong etchants. A mild etchant may be used on the laser roughened LED surface to remove unwanted metals.
1. A method of roughening a LED surface to improve light extraction efficiency comprising the operations of:
forming a LED structure over a substrate;
using a first laser to generate sufficient heat between the LED structure and the substrate to cause separation of the LED structure from the substrate in a laser lift off process;
using a focused second laser with a spot size less than 0.01 mm2 to produce a series of small pits in a surface of the LED structure that was previously attached to the substrate thereby creating a pitted surface.

forming a n-doped layer over a substrate,
forming an active region of the n-doped layer, the active region to emit light;
using a first defocused laser delivering a power per unit area of less than 2 J/cm2 to separate the n-doped layer from the substrate in a laser lift off process and to create a laser lift off surface of the n-doped layer;
using a second focused laser delivering a power per unit area in excess of 2 J/cm2 to pit the laser lift off surface of the n-doped layer.
19. The method of
exposing the laser lift off surface of the n-doped layer to a HCL etch, the HCL etch to remove any excess metal that may remain after expose to both the first laser and the second laser.
This application is related to patent application Ser. No. 12/337,505, entitled �Selective Decomposition of Nitride Semiconductors to Enhance LED Light Extraction� which is filed on the same day by the same assignee. The contents of the related application are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
In nitride light emitting diode (hereinafter LED) structures, the index of refraction mismatch between GaN and air makes light extraction difficult. In particular, light is often reflected back into the LED structure. One technique used to improve the light extraction efficiency from a LED is to roughen the LED surface to minimize reflectivity at the GaN to air interface.
Current methods of roughening a laser surface utilizes exposing the LED surface to a wet or plasma etch. Such an etch is described in Liu, US Patent application number 20080113463 A1 entitled �Method of Fabricating GaN device with a Laser� which is hereby incorporated by reference. The etching process attacks different crystal planes of the LED surface at different rates resulting in faceted structures ranging between 100 nm and 500 nm wide.
Unfortunately, etchants capable of etching into AlGaN are highly corrosive. Furthermore, to achieve the desired result, several minutes (per batch) of exposure to the etchant is needed. The long period of exposure to a highly corrosive etchant requires sealing of exposed metals portions of the LED to prevent damage to those metal surfaces. Examples of typical etchanting methods include ICP dry etching, immersion in heated potassium hydroxide (KOH) or using a Xe lamp in combination with KOH to produce a photoelectrochemical process (PEC) process. One of the most popular etchants, KOH, not only attacks metals but also attacks photoresist, silicon and even silicon oxide making it a difficult etchant to work with.
Thus an improved method of roughening a LED surface that does not require complicated sealing of all exposed surfaces is needed.
A method of roughening a LED surface to improve light extraction efficiency of the LED is described. The method uses a first laser in a laser lift off process to separate a LED structure from a substrate. A second focused laser with much smaller spot size produces a series of small pits in the LED surface that was previously attached to the substrate. The series of small pits roughens the surface thereby improving the light extraction efficiency from the LED. Afterwards, a mild etch may be used to remove remaining metals from the LED surface. The described technique avoids using the harsh etches that have traditionally been used to roughen the LED surface.
In the description, we describe a method of using a laser to roughen a LED surface to improve light extraction efficiency. The use of a focused laser avoids the need for a harsh etch that has traditionally been used to roughen a surface of the LED.

In order to separate the LED structure from the sapphire substrate, box 208 shows use of a laser lift off process (hereinafter LLO process). In the LLO process, a defocused, homogenous Laser lift off laser (LLO laser) such as an excimer laser in the desired frequency range is used. Typically the spot size of the laser at the laser lift off surface exceeds 1 mm2 to enable coverage of the entire area between the substrate and the LED, however smaller spot sizes may be used if they are stitched together properly. In laser lift off, it is strongly preferred that the light energy be homogenous, or spread uniformly across the laser spot area, as a non-uniform light intensity will result in decomposition region of non-uniform thickness.
The LLO laser is adjusted such that sufficient power per unit area is delivered to decompose a layer of the semiconductor into nitrogen gas and an alloy of the constitutive metals. This process typically results in the vaporization of the nitrogen in the LLO absorption layer and the brief melting, but not vaporization, of the metallic elements in the LLO absorption layer. As used herein, the LLO absorption layer is defined as the layer that absorbs most of the energy from the LLO laser. Typical power densities to achieve the liberation of nitrogen gas and the melting of the constitutive metals are between 600 mJ/cm2 and 1000 mJ/cm2. Although power densities higher than this can be used to decompose the semiconductor, the excess energy may result in structurally damaged films.
As used herein, LLO surfaces shall be defined as surfaces that were previously attached but were separated due to a laser lift off process. Thus when the laser is tuned and the materials selected such that separation occurs at the template layer 108 and n-doped layer 112 interface, the LLO surface of the LED is the surface of the n-doped layer 112 formerly attached to template layer 108. Alternately, when the laser is tuned and the materials selected such that separations occurs at the template layer 108 and substrate 104 interface, the LLO surface of the LED will be the bottom surface of template layer 108.
In a typical laser lift off process (LLO) laser energy is used to decompose a specific semiconductor layer within an epitaxially grown semiconductor heterostructure. By decomposing the strong chemical bonds that link the semiconductor heterostructure together, the structure may be separated into two pieces. The separation usually occurs between the epitaxially grown LED heterostructure and the substrate it is grown on, but the separation may also occur within the expitaxially grown heterostructure. The wavelength of the LLO laser should be such that the energy of LLO laser photons is greater than the band gap energy of the LLO absorption layer in order for proper laser energy absorption and LLO to occur. The absorption of the laser energy results in highly localized heating which breaks the chemical bonds of the semiconductor material, or decomposes the semiconductor. By properly selecting the laser wavelength, illumination direction, and band gap of the LLO absorption layer, a specific layer within the multi-layer LED heterostructure can be targeted for decomposition. Such a laser lift off process is described in Cheung et al, U.S. Pat. No. 6,420,242 B1 entitled �Separation of Thin Films with Transparent Substrates by Selective Optical Processing� which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
After separation and removal of the substrate from the LED structure, a laser roughening process occurs. Box 212-220 shows a laser roughening process in which the template layer 108 is exposed to a second laser, a �roughening� laser, to create �pits� in the laser lift off (LLO) surface. As used herein, �pit� is broadly defined to include any indentation in the material caused by the laser. As previously described, the LLO surface of the LED is defined as the surface of the LED from which the substrate was removed via a laser lift off process; thus the LED laser lift off surface may be either a surface of the n-doped layer 112 or a bottom surface of the template layer 108 depending on where the substrate and the LED structure separates.
In order to roughen the surface, the roughening laser delivers significantly more power per unit area than the LLO laser, usually with a non-uniform light intensity across the spot. Typically, the roughening laser delivers an energy density (power per unit area) in excess of 2 J/cm2. The roughening laser is focused to form a small spot size having an area less than 0.01 mm2 to avoid creating large area pits. Unlike the laser spots preferred for LLO, a non-uniform light intensity is preferred for roughening because a non-uniform light intensity will result in a non-uniform decomposition layer thickness, or surface roughness. An example non-uniform laser intensity distribution is shown in example laser spot 704, although it should be understood that other non-uniform laser intensity distributions may also be used.
The semiconductor absorption layer absorbs the incident roughening laser light causing a rapid temperature increase that breaks the chemical bonds of the semiconductor and decomposes it into nitrogen gas and a mixture of the liquid metals. The non-uniform distribution of light intensity within the spot results in variations in heating and absorption depth in the LED heterostructure. Regions of the absorption layer receiving a higher illumination density will undergo a greater temperature increase. Furthermore in such regions, the light energy will penetrate deeper and decomposition will occur deeper in the LED. These regions will not only undergo nitrogen gas vaporization, but also vaporization of the various constituent metals as well. This process can produce a curved pit shape as illustrated in
The surface roughness produced by the roughening laser defeats losses due total internal reflection within the LED structure. The exact requirements necessary to defeat total internal reflection are varied, however feature sizes ranging from 100 nm to 2 microns have been show to overcome internal reflection and enhance light extraction from LEDs.
Various types of lasers may be used for a roughening laser. The frequency of the laser should be selected such that the energy will be absorbed by the LLO surface of the LED. In one embodiment, the laser is a frequency quadrupled Nd: YAG laser outputting light at a wavelength near 266 nm. Experimental results show that the thin film of Al/Ga metal that typically coats the LLO surface of the LED after a LLO procedure does not appreciably change the laser spot size (or other parameters) of the roughening laser at the LLO surface. The 266 nm wavelength has been show to work with a wide range of aluminum contents. Ideally, this process works best when the ratio of Aluminum to Gallium is less than 57 Al to 43 Ga, although we have found it possible to pit the surface of an AlGaN alloy with a ratio of 7:3 Al to Ga with a 266 nm laser. Focused Excimer lasers outputting 248 nm have also been shown to work in pitting AlGaN layers with up to 70% Al content, and a 193 nm excimer laser would pit films with up to 100% Al (AlN).
In box 212, the focused laser is pulsed to create a first pit. In one embodiment, each pulse of the focused pulsed second laser produces a pit or an inverted �volcano� shape in the laser lift off surface. In order to create a �rough� surface, many such pits are needed. In box 216, relative motion between the roughening laser and the substrate moves the laser to a second position over the LLO surface of the LED. Typically the relative motion is accomplished by moving the second laser along a line or other predetermined pattern.
In box 220, the roughening laser is pulsed again to create a second pit. The position of the second pit is typically in such close proximity to the first pit that there is no smooth or unaffected area between the adjacent pits. The process is repeated, typically by moving the roughening laser along a pattern (such as a line and subsequently along an adjacent parallel line), until it is determined in box 224 that the entire LLO surface to be roughened has been sufficiently pitted or otherwise roughened.
Although the roughening process vaporizes some metal, it does not vaporize all the metal. Thus, the LLO process along with the roughening process typically leaves behind a highly reflective gallium and aluminum metal residue over the LLO surface. The metal residue should be removed to reduce reflectivity and allow light from the LED active region to exit through the LLO surface. One method of removing the metallic residue is via a mild etch such as a hydrochloric acid (HCI) etch. Box 228 shows using a HCL etch to remove the metallic residue. The HCL etch is typically done with a HCL concentration of 1:1 HCI:H2O and for a period of time less than 5 minutes. The HCL etch is much milder than the KOH etch traditionally used to roughen a surface, thus the HCL etch does not require protection of all the exposed contact surfaces.
Alternate spot or pit arrangements and spacing may also be used. In one embodiment, the laser spots substantially overlap.
Although a line of pits formed by an approximately linear relative motion of a roughing laser and a LLO surface has been shown, other patterns to roughen a surface are also possible.
While the above embodiments are envisioned for LEDs operating in the UV region of the electromagnetic spectrum, they may also be useful at longer wavelengths as permitted by the nitride semiconductor material system. This may include wavelengths into the visible spectrum such as violet, blue, and green light, or the wavelength spectrum extending from 365 nm to 550 nm. LEDs as this wavelength typically employ Ga and In rich alloys of AlGaN, InGaN, AIInN, and AlInGaN, and may include InN and GaN as well. The residual surface metal combinations left after the roughening process on these materials may require different etch chemistries to remove, however, HCl is know to be effective at removing Ga metal. Also, in longer wavelengths LEDs, substrates of SiC or GaN may be substituted for the sapphire substrate we describe.
The claims, as originally presented and as they may be amended, encompass variations, alternatives, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and substantial equivalents of the embodiments and teachings disclosed herein, including those that are presently unforeseen or unappreciated, and that, for example, may arise from applicants/patentees and others.

Recently, I spoke at NoSQL Matters in Barcelona about database history. As somebody with a history background, I was pretty excited to dig into the past, beyond the hype and marketing fluff, and look specifically at what technical problems each generation of database solved and where they in-turn fell short.
However, I got stuck at one moment in time I found utterly fascinating: the original development of relational databases. So much of the NoSQL movement feels like a rebellion against the "old timey" feeling relational databases. So I thought it would be fascinating to be a contrarian, to dig into what value relational databases have added to the world. Something everyone thinks is obvious but nobody really understands.
It's very easy and popular to criticize relational databases. What folks don't seem to do is go back and appreciate how revolutionary relational databases were when they came out. We forget what problems they solved. We forget how earlier databases fell short, and how relational databases solved the problems of the first generation of databases. In short, relational databases were the noSomething, and I aimed to find out what that something was.
And from that apply those lessons to today's NoSQL databases. Are today's databases repeating mistakes of the past? Or are they filling an important niche (or both?).
The First Databases
To appreciate how revolutionary the relational model is, we need to appreciate what the earliest, pre-relational databases looked like. These databases largely reflect what we would build if we were tasked by our boss to "build a database". Maybe, if we're tracking movie rentals, in our ignorance we might start out with a line-by-line csv listing of customers and what movies they've rented. Maybe something silly that looks like this:
Poor Man's Database
We might also add an "index" to the back of the file to help us find specific records, in the same way we'd use an index in a book. Here the index is telling us that the "doug" record is 512 characters into the file while the "rick" record is 9212 characters into the file.
Now the earliest designers of these data storage systems would have had to face the problem, "How do I store movies as their own record?". For example, we're going to need to start storing how much a movie costs to rent and how many we have in stock. Should movies like "Top Gun" be treated as top-level records? Or should they be as parts-of (something owned by) the user records we already have? With movies as their own records, we don't have to duplicate all the inventory and price data everywhere, but we'll need to create another construct (an additional record type?) to specify the relationship.
Poor Man's Database
The databases that aggregate videos into users are considered to be following the "hierarchical" model. The databases that break out movies into their own records with the ability to link records fall into the "navigational" model.
You can imagine, if we were interacting with this database, our first reaction would be to create a rather primitive interface – create something low-level that talked only in movies and users. Luckily, others saw past this and realized that patterns like the ones in our video rental and other data stores could be generalized–that we could abstract the notion of "record" and "ownership" into something much more powerful. Eventually this is exactly what Codasyl/DBTG (Database Task Group) did, creating a standard language for creating and interacting with navigational and hierarchical databases.
So reflecting on our data model, you could create a record in one of these databases by using the RECORD command:
Record Name is USER Location Mode is Calc Using username Duplicates are not allowed username Type character 25 address Type character 50 phonenumber Type character 10
And when we want to declare a relationship between two records, we can define a set that maps them in an owner-ownee relationship.
Set Name is USER-VIDEOS Order is Next Retention is Mandatory Owner is USER Member is VIDEO
This model reflects first building many databases and then attempting to generalize important abstractions. We can think of the early history of databases like our video rental example. Since the advent of storage media, folks needed to store all kinds of data. Eventually somebody did something laudable, reflected on all the patterns being used in data storage and management and created a generalized database that was codified in the DBTG language.
Enter Codd
Whereas the first database's abstractions grew out of patterns learned building from the bottom-up, the relational model did just the opposite. The relational model creates an amazingly powerful abstraction rooted in predicate calculus, and then expects the implementation details to follow (which as we all know they did).
When Codd wrote his paper, he criticized the DBTG databases of the day around the area of how the application interacted with the databases abstractions. Low-level abstractions leaked into user applications. Application logic became dependent on aspects of the databases: Specifically, he cites three criticisms:
- Access Dependencies: We often need to navigate from users -> videos to get at the videos. Application logic depends on how records are linked or aggregated. I must use one record type to get another record type.
- Order Dependencies: Applications depend on how data is physically stored in the database. Notice the "ORDER is NEXT" line in the Set declaration above. This specifies storage based on insert order, so retrieval will in turn happen on index order.
- Index Dependencies: When accessing indices, these databases required database indices be referred to explicitly by name.
Codd proposed to get around these limitations by focusing on a specific abstraction: relations. A relation is simply a tuple of elements. The ith element of each tuple is a member of some set, known as that element's domain. Perhaps a given element's domain is the set of users, user ids, possible movies to rent, etc. So for our videos, a tuple might look like:
(user=u, address=a, list of movies rented=l)
Or in other words
(doug, 1234 Bagby St, [Top Gun 3.99, Terminator 12.99])
One can interpret this relation to "mean" any number of things. We might equate this to a statement that "Doug rents Top Gun at 3.99 and Terminator at 12.99" or "Doug lives at 1234 Bagby St".

Everton new boy Aiden McGeady is hoping his international connections can help him settle quickly into life at Goodison Park. In Seamus Coleman, Darron Gibson and James McCarthy, the incoming winger has linked up with three of his Republic of Ireland teammates on Merseyside - while Steven Naismith is another familiar face from their time competing on opposite sides in the Glasgow derby. With so much advice to call on, McGeady didn't miss the opportunity to do his homework ahead of penning a four-and-a-half year deal - and says the feedback he received convinced him he was heading to the right new home. The 27-year-old is now away with the Club at a warm weather training camp in Tenerife where he is getting acquainted with the remainder of his new colleagues. But speaking to evertontv ahead of the trip, the former Spartak Moscow star said: "I spoke to quite a lot of the boys and I met everyone and it seems like a good bunch of lads. "Obviously I know Darron and Seamus and James, and I know Steven Naismith from playing against him a few years ago. At the moment it's a little bit like the first day at school again, but hopefully over time I'll get integrated in. "Everybody I've spoken to has just said it's a great club with great tradition, great fans, and, obviously, a big pull is the manager as well. "The team are doing well, so hopefully I can come in and add to it in some way."That could be in providing a versatile and creative new spark to Roberto Martinez's attack, with the winger laying out the areas where he believes he can improve the fifth-placed Toffees. "I'm a winger, I can come inside and I'm predominantly right footed but I can play off my left as well," he explained. "My main attribute is probably going past people. That's probably the strongest part of my game - that and setting up goals. "At the minute, I just want to get myself fit because I haven't played for a long time - I've been off the last month and a bit. Then I want to get myself in the team, start playing and start winning games."
