(11 Photos)
Jacki Garfinkel

Warner Brothers/Courtesy Neal Peters Collection
The Movie:In this sequel (the third in the National Lampoon's Vacation franchise), Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo return as Clark and Ellen, heads of the Griswold family--and this time the kids are played by Juliette Lewis and Johnny Galecki. As dysfunctional relatives begin visiting for the holidays, Clark festoons his yard and house with a ridiculous number of lights.What You Said:"We are more the non-traditional types here. One of our family traditions is to have a wrapping party and watch Christmas Vacation while we wrap. :) It's usually preceded by pizza and soda for dinner." -- amibee64

With my day starting at 3:30 a.m. I tend to think about what I missed the night before. I mean, I go to bed at like 7 p.m. so I know I'm missing out on something, you know? Back in March I missed out on a ridiculous fight at the T.U. Center.
Welp, winter is officially gone, an after-thought at this point. Soon, people will start complaining that it's too hot as summer's mayhem eventually becomes over bearing and sweaty. Watch this when you feel like littering social media with thermometer pics and hatred towards warmth.
If you are ever in downtown Albany and find yourself standing in the Empire State Plaza wondering "how did they make this?" then this is the perfect documentary for you. Allow me to introduce you to "The Making of The Mall."
So apparently this is an update on a story I completely missed. Why didn't anyone tell me the slime from "Ghostbusters 2" was flowing into our rivers?
Rain-soaked donations in Queensbury are piling up and the Salvation Army is all backed up. But is the culprit of this pile-up the work of people treating this donation site as a dump?

Can you ditch the emotional "ties"?
A good year and a half ago I broke up with a girlfriend I'd been with for quite some time. It'd been rocky, I'd moved out of the country, back to the country, we weren't together, we were, we did the long distance thing, we didn't. It was messy, it didn't work, and yeah, it was rough on me. That's not the point of this post though. At first everything I owned reminded me of her, that box, that plant, we'd exchanged a whole load of gifts and so there were a lot of things I owned that were from her. But after a while most of those feelings faded. Songs didn't bring up the same memories they once did, even smells lost that extra contextual meaning. Everything except my damn ties.
I don't get it. She bought me damn near every one of the ones I own and they're great ties. I usually get compliments when occasions require that I toss one on. What I don't get is why I still can't get the associations of her separate from the ties. So I ask you wise Internet, is there something special with ties and breakups that's inseparable. Should I toss them or is there hope? Will some pagan ritual where I burn things rid me of the emotionally stained tie?

NH woman wants to be a millionaire
Amber Cushing of Allenstown will appear Monday as a contestant on "Who Wants to be A Millionaire?" (Disney-ABC)
Cushing, 31, the librarian for the Allenstown Public Library, has a doctorate in information and library science. She said she became a librarian because she's always loved trivia and helping people find information. She said she hopes the five years she put into the doctorate program would pay off big on "Millionaire" so that she can finally get rid of her six-figure student loans.
Cushing is the daughter of Sharon Wilson of Concord and Dan Cushing of Gig Harbor, Wash. She's a 2000 graduate of Concord High School. Her mother came to New York City with her and sat in the "Millionaire" audience as her on-air companion for the show.
Cushing said she's been waiting since September to be able to tell people how she did on the show. The process started months ago.
"Last summer," she said, "I saw a commercial that they were having tryouts. I had a weekend free and saw a friend in New York." The line for contestants at the Apollo Theater "was around the corner."
She passed a timed multiple-choice test, then an interview and a screen test.
"I naturally remember information and naturally encounter a lot of information," said Cushing. "I talk through what I'm doing, which drives my family crazy, but they like people who talk through things. In about a month, you get a postcard saying if you're in the contestant pool. A month goes by, and I started working at the library. That was the first week in September. One Friday afternoon, the 21st, I was sitting at the library and my cellphone rang. I saw the area code was weird, Googled it, and saw it was ABC studios. They wanted me in New York Tuesday night, just four days later!"
Cushing had to wait the entire day in the green room, with no books, phone, music or anything, but finally was called to play the game.
"All the other shows they taped that day have aired," she said. "Now I can finally tell people. It was a really fun experience! I can't believe I got this far!"

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Category: Philadelphia-Flyers
Evening Line
by Paul on 04/13/08 at 07:58 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Adam Proteau of the Hockey News,
Most of the credit for the win will go to Martin Biron's mastery in Philadelphia's net, and much of the fault will go to Caps defenseman Mike Green and sniper Alex Semin. I don't wholly disagree with that diagnosis, but above and beyond scapegoating, I think you saw (a) Washington grow more tentative and jittery after they failed to score despite having five of the game's first seven power plays; and (b) the Flyers grow more confident in Biron and their defense after that point.
more and a few additional NHL topics…

Flyers Must Answer Questions Today
by Paul on 04/13/08 at 10:53 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Phil Sheridan of the Philadelphia Inquirer,
Biron will be back in the net today. Stevens is smart to stay with the anointed playoff starter, at least for now. Changing goalies is a little like changing quarterbacks. It's a move that can look like panic if a coach makes it too quickly or too often. Besides, if Stevens does have to go to Antero Niittymaki, it will be very tough to go back to Biron….
"Four goals should be enough in a playoff game," Flyers forward Mike Knuble said.
It is if the goaltender can make a great save or two, or if you don't hand the puck to the league's leading scorer late in the third period….
Nothing tells you more about a coach than a playoff series. This is Stevens' first in the NHL. He and his staff did a solid job of preparing for the Capitals. That much was clear from Game 1.
Now comes the real test: guiding this team through a series it proved it can win, even as it found a way to lose.

There's some positive news to report regarding injured Flyers forward Patrick Thoresen. I'm told that his injury is not as serious as originally thought, and that it's possble he'll play tomorrow.

Is Biron Good Enough
by Paul on 04/12/08 at 09:53 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Phil Sheridan of the Philadelphia Inquirer,
Ovechkin fetched the loose puck and slid it back to Green. This time, Green fired a shot over Biron's glove hand to tie the game at 4.
It was a good shot. A shutdown goaltender - a wartime goaltender - stops it.
It isn't time to overreact. This isn't Roman Cechmanek wandering around while opponents fire pucks into his empty net. It was Biron's first playoff game, and he acknowledged a case of nerves.
"There were some jitters early in the game," Biron said. "We've got to get into our rhythm."
Flyers coach John Stevens, asked merely to evaluate Biron's play, immediately took the opportunity to mute possible criticism. He has a series here, after all.
"Obviously you have a 4-2 lead there," Stevens said. "Guys stepped in and teed up from some difficult places to see. . . . We're in this together here."

Fans Going Crazy Over The Capitals
by Paul on 04/12/08 at 07:54 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the Washington Times,
This was playoff hockey, something Washington hasn't seen since 2003, and perhaps no one has seen anything quite like this before in Washington, which has seemed to transform like never before, into — yes, a version of Hockeytown.
"It's hard to get wilder than it has been the three previous [home games]," Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau said. "But I had to grab the guys and tell them they were up because they couldn't hear me."
Veteran great Sergei Fedorov, who has been part of Hockeytown with the Detroit Red Wings, said the crowd support was incredible.
"I had a broken stick and I couldn't hear it break because it was so loud," Fedorov said.
In case you missed Ovechkin's game winner, watch it now…

Thoresen Taken To Hospital With Groin Injury

via the AP,
Flyers left wing Patrick Thoresen was taken to the hospital for tests after getting hit in the groin by a shot during Philadelphia's 5-4 loss to Washington on Friday night.
"He's going to the hospital to get an ultrasound done on his testicles. It's bad enough they may have to remove one," Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said. "Right now, we're not sure how serious it is, but there's a chance he may need surgery."
Thoresen blocked the shot with about 6 1/2 minutes left in the game, then dropped to the ice, writhing in pain. Moments later, Washington scored to tie the game 4-4.
"Obviously, I'd have liked to see a whistle," Flyers coach John Stevens said.

Richards A Key Player In Flyers/Capitals Series
by Paul on 04/11/08 at 05:16 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Ryan Dixon of the Hockey News,
For Philadelphia to beat Washington, Richards has to be the engine that drives the Flyers.
Certainly it's important for Martin Biron to outplay Cristobal Huet in the nets; for Daniel Briere to be healthy and produce points; for the entire team to – as much as possible – clog the gears of the Russian tank known as Ovechkin.
But Richards embodies – albeit internally for the most part – that great fighting Philly spirit that must be unleashed to combat the assault Ovie is going to lay on the Flyers.
Richards, despite his modest size, is physical. He's smart. Skilled. And most of all, he lives for this stuff.

Jason Smith Expected Back Tonight

From CBC,
Jason Smith did not take the morning skate but rode a bike and says he will play. Randy Jones still has a bit of the flu but skated and remains a pre-game decision. Philadelphia head coach John Stevens expects Jones to play, as well.
Steve Downie out with the flu. Believe he did not make the trip.

Biron Understands His Role
by Paul on 04/11/08 at 11:55 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Ed Moran of the Philadelphia News,
"The key is always more emphasis on the goaltender. If we believe it or not, it's always going to be that way and goalies are always going to be at the forefront of the playoffs because it's an important position."
Good thing Biron knows that, because the Flyers' playoff hopes rest on his shoulders, particularly against Washington. The best-of-seven series will open tonight at the Verizon Center.
Stacked together, the Flyers and the Capitals match up very well. Each has a crop of scoring forwards, though Washington does have Ovechkin, a player who can take over a game by himself.

Trying To Stop Ovechkin
by Paul on 04/10/08 at 08:26 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Rich Hofmann of the Philadelphia Daily News,
One player cannot halt him alone. It really does take a village to stop an Ovechkin. Saying that and acknowledging that, though, recent history suggests that one sweater among all of the black-and-orange sweaters will be greeting Ovechkin most of all:
No. 44, Kimmo Timonen.
"It's going to be a big challenge, but I'm looking forward to it," said Timonen, the Flyers' smoothest defensive presence. "Taking his time and space away - that's the key for me. If you give him too much space and time, he's going to make a play, he's going to shoot the puck. So, for me, going into the game, you have to make sure you're right on him all the time and contain him."

KOKOMO, Ind. – The mayor of Kokomo said he expects the city will see a big boost from an amateur baseball team that will start playing in its new downtown stadium next year.
The yet-to-be-named Kokomo team will be part of the Prospect League, which features top collegiate players during the summer months and includes teams in the Indiana cities of Terre Haute and Richmond.
Team owner Mike Zimmerman of Milwaukee-based MKE Sports & Entertainment said Tuesday he decided to pursue locating the team in Kokomo after spending time in the city and attending a local youth baseball game.
"The energy of the community with their love for sports and the revitalization project currently underway downtown is the perfect storm," he said. "It's a real recipe for success."
MKE will pay the city a minimum of $22,500 for the use of Kokomo Municipal Stadium with various incentives that could boost that total to $100,000 a year during its five-year lease.
MKE Sports will be responsible for the stadium's maintenance and utility bills, the Kokomo Tribune reported (http://bit.ly/1oADuGV ).
Construction began in recent weeks on the stadium, which will have about 2,300 seats and 1,500 spots for lawn seating.
The stadium is part of the city's $9 million project, which includes spending $2.5 million on flood-prevention measures along Wildcat Creek. The neighborhood was hit hard by April 2013 flooding that damaged more than 300 homes around the 45,000-person city about 40 miles north of Indianapolis.
Mayor Greg Goodnight said landing the baseball team "is about bringing family entertainment into the heart of our city in creating pedestrian activity in the afternoon and evening around Kokomo Municipal Stadium."
The stadium is also expected to be used for high school and youth league baseball teams. Officials said it is designed to hold a regulation-sized soccer field, and could be used for concerts and other community events.

MTN sells towers in Cote d'Ivoire, Cameroon
BUSINESS| Oct. 12, 2012, 5:41 p.m.
MTN and IHS Holding Limited have entered into definitive agreements pursuant to which IHS will acquire up to 931 mobile network towers from MTN Cote d'Ivoire for USD141 million and up to 827 towers from MTN Cameroon for USD143 million.
Under the definitive agreements, IHS will be a 100% shareholder of the tower companies to be set up in each country to manage the towers and other passive infrastructure. MTN CIV and MTN CMR will, on commercial terms, become the anchor tenants on the towers being purchased for an initial term of ten years.
"The benefits to MTN of monetising our non-core assets and outsourcing passive infrastructure to experienced independent companies such as IHS are considerable," said Sifiso Dabengwa, Group President and CEO of MTN Group. "With a continued commitment to improving the service to our customers, a reduction of our capital expenditure requirements allows us to concentrate on investing in our customer base and implementing additional services to meet the demand for innovative products and data."
The sale of towers is in line with MTN's infrastructure sharing strategy aimed at the monetisation of its assets and cost optimisation. The agreements include a commitment from IHS to roll out a build-to-suit programme to support MTN's future requirements in both countries, as well as pursue opportunities to build tower sites for other wireless operators.
"We are delighted to build on our successful partnership with MTN for whom we have previously built and maintained sites in Nigeria and Sudan. Our strong technical capabilities and operational expertise reinforce MTN's performance-oriented approach and high standards of service," said Issam Darwish, CEO of IHS.
"This transaction is the next step in our strategy for expansion across Africa; we continue to invest in countries with attractive economic and demographic profiles. This transaction firmly positions IHS as a leading mobile tower infrastructure company in sub-Saharan Africa with resources for continued expansion and technological innovation."
Following closing of the contemplated transactions, IHS will become the largest independent tower company in West Africa with a presence in the four largest economies in the region; Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and Cote d'Ivoire.
The transactions are expected to close during the first quarter of 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.

Hunt-Phelan Home tapped as Campus for Caring anchor in sickle cell battle
With an eye toward a Campus for Caring, The Sickle Cell Foundation of Tennessee is moving to purchase the historic Hunt-Phelan home and redevelop adjacent real estate.
In the U.S., sickle-cell disease is most prevalent among African-Americans and Hispanics. It strikes one in 375 African-American children. Patients can suffer debilitating pain, swelling, infections, stroke and life-threatening organ damage, which can lead to a shorter life.
The nonprofit envisions a dramatic expansion to serve more people at home and abroad. Foundation representatives are meeting with donors as part of a $2 million campaign to finance the phased-in development of its Campus for Caring during the next few years.

The present invention relates to an improved sensor for use with an ion implanter that reduces production rate of material from the Faraday, thus lowering the deposition rate in the process chamber and thereby lowering the frequency of required maintenance.
Ion implanters can be used to treat silicon wafers by bombardment of the wafers with an ion beam. One use of such beam treatment is to selectively dope the wafers with impurities of a controlled concentration to yield a semiconductor material during fabrication of a integrated circuits.
A typical ion implanter includes an ion source, an ion extraction device, a mass analysis device, a beam transport device and a wafer processing device. The ion source generates ions of desired atomic or molecular dopant species. These ions are extracted from the source by an extraction system, typically a set of electrodes that energize and direct the flow of ions from the source. The desired ions are separated from byproducts of the ion source in a mass analysis device, typically a magnetic dipole performing mass dispersion of the extracted ion beam. The beam transport device, typically a vacuum system containing an optical train of focusing devices transports the ion beam to the wafer processing device while maintaining desired optical properties of the ion beam. Finally, semiconductor wafers are implanted in the wafer processing device.
Batch processing ion implanters include a spinning disk support for moving multiple silicon wafers through the ion beam. The ion beam impacts the wafer surface as the support rotates the wafers through the ion beam.
Serial implanters treat one wafer at a time. The wafers are supported in a cassette and are withdrawn one at time and placed on a support. The wafer is then oriented in an implantation orientation so that the ion beam strikes the single wafer. These serial implanters use beam shaping electronics to deflect the beam from its initial trajectory and often are used in conjunction with co-ordinated wafer support movements to selectively dope or treat the entire wafer surface.
Faraday cups are used to measure beam current. These cups are periodically inserted into an ion beam either upstream of the implantation chamber or at a region behind a workpiece support to monitor beam current. U.S. Pat. No. 6,992,309 to Petry et al. illustrates a dosimetry system having a Faraday cup that is mounted for movement along a controlled path. The disclosure of the '309 patent is incorporated herein by reference.
A semiconductor processing tool has an evacuated region for treating a workpiece by directing an ion beam to strike a workpiece. One such tool includes an ion source and beam transfer structure for transferring ions in a beam from the ion source to a workpiece support. The workpiece support is located in an implantation chamber. The path of travel from the source to the implantation chamber is at a low pressure as is the implantation chamber.
A sensor includes an electrically conductive base and a mask electrically coupled to the conductive base that divides ion that make up an ion beam into regions or segments. The mask has walls extending from a front region of the sensor to the base. These walls impedes ions that reach the sensor from reentering the evacuated region of the processing tool.
Further features of the disclosure will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which the present invention relates from reading the following specification with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Turning to the drawings,
Control electronics (
The ions in the ion beam 14 tend to diverge as the beam traverses a region between the source and the implantation chamber. To reduce this divergence, the region is maintained at low pressure by one or more vacuum pumps 27 in fluid communication with the ion beam path.
The ion source 12 includes a plasma chamber defining an interior region into which source materials are injected. The source materials may include an ionizable gas or vaporized source material. Ions generated within the plasma chamber are extracted from the chamber by ion beam extraction assembly 28, which includes a number of metallic electrodes for creating an ion accelerating electric field.
Positioned along the beam path 14 is an analyzing magnet 30 which bends the ion beam 14 and directs the ions through a beam neutralizer 32. The beam neutralizer injects electrons into the beam and impedes beam blow up thereby enhancing the ion transfer efficiency of the system. Downstream form the neutralizer 32, the beam 14 passes through a resolving aperture 36 which is an aperture plate which defines a minimum beam waist. The ion beam 14 that exits the resolving aperture is of an appropriate size and shape for the application.
A workpiece support 40 known as wafer clamp is seen position in relation to a port 42 in fluid communication with a pump (not shown). A wafer is electrostatically attracted to the support and rotates the wafer up into the beam and then moves the workpiece up and down and from side to side with respect to the ion beam 14. The sequence of movements is such that an entire implantation surface of the workpiece 24 is uniformly implanted with ions. A typical application treats a wafer to dope the wafer with controlled concentrations of dopant. Since the implantation chamber interior region is evacuated, workpieces must enter and exit the chamber through a load lock 50. In accordance with one embodiment, a robot that is positioned within the implantation chamber 22 moves wafer workpieces to and from the load lock. The robot moves the wafer from the load lock to the workpiece support by means of an arm which reaches into the load lock to capture a workpiece for movement within the evacuated region of the implantation chamber. Prior to implantation, the workpiece support structure rotates the workpiece to a vertical or near vertical position for implantation. If the workpiece 24 is vertical, that is, normal with respect to the ion beam 14, the implantation angle or angle of incidence between the ion beam and the normal to the workpiece surface is 0 degrees.
In a typical implantation operation, undoped workpieces (typically semiconductor wafers) are retrieved from one of a number of cassettes by a robot outside the chamber which move a workpiece which has been oriented to a proper orientation into the load lock. The load lock closes and is pumped down to a desired vacuum, and then opens into the implantation chamber 22. The robotic arm of the chamber robot grasps the workpiece 24, brings it within the implantation chamber 22 and places it on an electrostatic clamp or chuck of the workpiece support structure.
The electrostatic clamp is energized to hold the workpiece 24 in place during implantation. Suitable electrostatic clamps are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,436,790, issued to Blake et al. on Jul. 25, 1995 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,444,597, issued to Blake et al. on Aug. 22, 1995, both of which are assigned to the assignee of the present invention. Both the '790 and '597 patents are incorporated herein in their respective entireties by reference.
After ion beam processing of the workpiece 24, the workpiece support structure returns the workpiece 24 to a horizontal orientation and the electrostatic clamp releases the workpiece. The chamber robot grasps the workpiece after such ion beam treatment and moves it from the support back into the load lock. From the load lock, a robotic arm of a robot outside the chamber 22 moves the implanted workpiece 24 back to one of a storage cassette and most typically to the cassette from which it was initially withdrawn.
Faraday Cup
A Faraday cup sensor 110 is mounted to an interior wall of the ion implantation chamber 22 at a region 112 behind the workpiece support 40. The sensor 110 is shown in the exploded perspective view shown in
The mask 122 divides the incident ion beam, sending it into multiple pathways 130 a, 130 b, 130 c etc (
The Faraday cup sensor 110 includes a front or entrance plate 140 that provides an interior border 142 surrounding the beam which allows ions passing through the implantation region of the chamber to impact the mask/base combination. A number of magnets 150 are mounted between the mask 122 and the entrance plate 140. These magnets 150 are mounted to a rectangular shaped magnet support 152. The magnets prevent electrons created as ions impact the base or mask from backstreaming into the implantation chamber 22. The magnetic field that is created by the magnets is generally uniform in a gap 154 between the magnets and deflects electrons to the side. An electron in this region is deflected to the side walls of the Faraday cup 156.
The base 120 supports the mask 122 in position relative the ion beam and includes side walls 156 and a rear wall 157 that define a cup that bounds the mask and fit inside the magnet support 152 and a housing 160 for the sensor 110. The housing defines bosses 162 at its corners that have threaded openings to accommodate corresponding threaded connectors which pass through openings in the entrance plate 140 on a surface facing away from the walls of the chamber 22. Similar threaded openings in these bosses 162 facing toward the walls of the chamber mate with connectors passing through a mounting plate 164 that attaches the sensor to the inner walls of the chamber.
Water is routed into the region of the sensor 110 by inlet and outlet conduits 166, 167 which direct coolant (typically water) into and out of a heat sink 170 that defines passageways for routing the coolant through a heat absorbing portion 172 of the heat sink 170 that abuts a back wall 174 of the base 120. As seen most clearly in
Some ion implant recipes call for angled implants. To meet these requirements the process chamber 22 rotates about a vertical axis, changing the angle of the workpiece relative to the ion beam. To maintain the advantages of the mask, even at high implant angles, a second region of the Faraday structure has been made at an angle.
As seen most clearly in
Turning to
In the exemplary embodiment both the mask and the base are fabricated from graphite. The two are held in electrical contact and the current due to ion bombardment is routed to ground through a conductor 210 attached to the sensor 110. A variable gain current sensor having two amplifiers 212, 214 monitors current through this conductor 210 and converts the current to a voltage. An output from the current sensor is coupled to an A/D converter 216 and indicates to the controller 220 the magnitude of the current which is used in adjusting ion beam parameters to control a dose of ion implantation when the support positions a wafer workpiece in the beam for implantation treatment.
An optimization between minimizing frontal surface area and maximizing the depth to diameter aspect ratio of the passageways yields the most efficient structure. Constraints such as physical room in the tool, manufacturability, material choice and material properties, play a crucial roll in this optimization. Circular passageways that have generally cylindrical walls are preferred due to the ease of manufacturing. Hexagonal configurations may be more efficient in gathering ions but are harder to construct. Square configurations may be easier to construct but less efficient. A goal is to maximize ion capture as well as limiting backscattering without undue encroachment in the region of the chamber 22. The specific geometry, material choice and application will determine the optimal dimensions of the mask structure.
It is understood that although an exemplary embodiment of the invention has been described with a degree of particularity, alterations and modifications from that embodiment are included which fall within the spirit or scope of the appended claims.

Reggie and the Full Effect front man James Dewees revels in theatrics, whether you're talking about the many aliases he's used with Reggie -- like Paco, Klause from the fictional Common Denominators, and, of course, Reggie -- or the bunny costumes he and his bandmates wear onstage as they cover Slayer. Problem is, theatrics is 90 percent of it. His latest, Songs Not to Get Married To, is his most mature and, in many ways, best work to date, but its unnatural mixing of punk rock, emo, metalcore, and even New Wave works just about as well as Dewees' marriage did. Fortunately, the poor bastard's divorce makes a useful stage prop, like bunny costumes. Prepare yourself for some marriage-hatin' chest-pounding as Dewees hops about the stage in Thumper ears, drives around in a battery-powered fire truck for children, and splatters the crowd with fake blood shot from a Super Soaker.

Report: Seven teams leaving Big East
The Big East is headed for another break up. This time, the seven prominent basketball schools that don't play FBS football are planning to cut ties with the ever-changing conference.
TOTAL COLLAPSEFootball and fear fueled the demise of the Big East. Scout.com
The divorce is expected to be complicated, maybe even contentious, with millions of dollars and possibly the future of the league at stake.
The Big East's non-football members decided Thursday to separate from the conference, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because officials from those schools are still sorting through details and trying to figure how best to split from the conference. No official announcement was imminent, the person said.
The seven schools that don't play FBS-level football are St. John's, Georgetown, Marquette, DePaul, Seton Hall, Providence and Villanova. Officials at those schools have concerns about the direction of the conference and feel as if they have little power to influence it.
Commissioner Mike Aresco conferred by phone with the leaders of those seven schools earlier in the day, according to another person familiar with the situation, also speaking on condition of anonymity.
''Clearly there is a movement by the presidents to explore and look into the various possibilities when it comes to this conference realignment,'' St. John's basketball coach Steve Lavin said. ''Their objective is to look out for the best interests of the original remaining Big East members and those presidents have met and had dialogue to chart the best course.''
The current Big East football membership includes only four schools - South Florida, Connecticut and Cincinnati, Temple - that are committed to the league beyond 2013. But there are 11 schools with plans to join the Big East in the next three years, including Boise State and San Diego State for football only in 2013.
BIG EAST'S BESTBig East basketball history has been full of legendary players and coaches. Here's our top 20.
Because those schools won't be members until next summer, the majority of the voting members of the Big East are basketball schools right now. Still, those schools aren't in position to dissolve the conference. That would take the votes of at least two football members, according to the Big East bylaws.
The Catholic schools can leave without financial penalty. The Big East has provisions in its bylaws that allow a group of schools to leave without exit fees.
But what they would do remains unclear, as are the legal ramifications of their actions. There has been speculation those seven basketball schools could merge with the Atlantic 10 or possibly add schools from that league to create a basketball-only conference of smaller Catholic schools.
One of the many things that will need to be sorted out is who owns the rights to the name Big East. Will it stay with new members or go with the old. Georgetown, Providence, Seton Hall and St John's were among the original members of the conference when it was formed primarily for basketball in 1979. Villanova came in a year later. Marquette and DePaul came in 2005, the Big East's previous major expansion.
Most importantly there are of millions dollars that both sides will likely claim at least some ownership of, including NCAA tournament money that is paid out every five years based on appearances, about $70 million in exit fees the Big East has collected from the recent departures and future possible exit fees from the latest members to announce they are leaving - Rutgers and Louisville.
Where does that leave the current and future football-playing members? They could simply stick together and continue on the path they are headed. But if the basketball side of the Big East is weakened it could decrease the value of the conference to television networks. The league is currently trying to negotiate a crucial TV contract, but instability has made it impossible.
The Big East had been hoping to sign a TV deal that could bring in as much as $100 million a year to its members, though some estimates have been a low as $60 million. If the TV money isn't up to the Big East's projections, the speculation has been that it could cause Boise State, San Diego State and Navy, which is scheduled to join as a football-only member in 2015, to reconsider.
The Mountain West and Conference USA have already lined up replacement members for the schools that have pledged to go to the Big East. Boise State and San Diego State would likely be able to slide right back into the Mountain West, but there appears to be no turning back for the seven current C-USA schools bound for the Big East.
Memphis released a statement from athletic director Tom Bowen in response to ''Big East rumors,'' which was essentially a no comment.
All of those schools, even though they have not participated in the Big East, could be on the hook for exit fees to the conference if they did change plans. Or not. At this point, everything is up for debate - or litigation.
The Big East's long-term plan has been to form a 12- to 14-team football conference that spans coast to coast, starting next year, while also having a large basketball league with many of its traditional members.
But the most recent defections of Louisville and Rutgers, along with the additions of Tulane for all sports and East Carolina for football only in 2014, have convinced the basketball schools that it's not worth sticking with the plan.
Conference realignment has whittled away the Big East, costing it many of its oldest and most prominent members in the last 16 months. Pittsburgh and Syracuse are going to the Atlantic Coast Conference next year. West Virginia has moved to the Big 12. Louisville is headed to the ACC and Rutgers to the Big Ten, maybe as soon as 2014.
Money doesn't seem to be driving the basketball schools away. The Big East non-football members currently get about $1.6 million from the league's television deals, and that share goes up to about $3.5 million when NCAA basketball tournament money is included. The football members make about $6 million currently.
Even if the Big East doesn't reach its goals with a new TV contract, the Big East basketball schools are not likely to earn much more on their own. Though the difference between what they get without the football schools and what they get with them might be small enough to justify leaving them behind and taking control back of their programs.
''When you look at the various outcomes, there is still going to be the Big East and the remaining schools are going to shape the best possible future for us,'' Lavin said. ''I'm looking forward to knowing what that direction is and what direction we are going to take.''
