Technical Tidbit
Thermomechanical stress in components can lead to some interesting failure mechanisms. An example of this is a mechanism called aluminum sliding. This was first reported in the early 1990s by Intel, but more recently, some companies have experienced a resurgence in this problem.
The stress can deform the top-most aluminum layer and cause cracking in the silicon-dioxide silicon-nitride top dielectric layer. This mechanism is exacerbated by thermal cycling. Some methods to minimize this problem include: identifying and using a molding compound with a coefficient of thermal expansion that better matches that of the die, increasing the passivation, or top dielectric, thickness, using a polyimide protective overcoat to absorb the stress, and using narrower aluminum lines that limit the adhesion and stress buildup.

Q: Is oxidation-enhanced diffusion prominent or negligible? A: The answer depends on the dopant elements involved. Oxidation generates excess silicon self-interstitials, which enhance the diffusivities of atoms that diffuse with a significant interstitialcy component. This includes Boron, Phosphorus, and Arsenic. It retards Antimony, which diffuses primarily by the vacancy mechanism.

In this technical tidbit we'll discuss some issues and approaches to dealing with high aspect ratio structures like contacts and vias. A problem related to etch is the subsequent deposition step. Deposition is especially challenging with high aspect ratio structures. *Conventional Physical Vapor Deposition exhibits problems such as overhang at the top, or re-entrant top corners, thinning on the floor and lower sidewalls, discontinuities at the floor to sidewall corner. As such PVD can no longer meet specifications for many IC structures. *An improvement on PVD is physically collimated PVD confines the deposition angle to near zero, which improves film conformality at the floor of the structure, but it limits through-put. It is also not appropriate for ultra-thin films.
Yet another approach to PVD is ionized PVD with re-sputter. In this approach one replaces conventional PVD for metal deposition on ICs. The metal atoms are ionized in a plasma and accelerated to surface, producing a directionality. This improves floor coverage, gives a smooth morphology, and results in high-purity films. The added energy can be adjusted to be high enough to re-sputter metal from the floor onto the sidewalls. This yields improved step coverage but can lead to difficulty at the lower corners of a trench. In some of today's ICs, the aspect ratio exceeds the range of ionized PVD conformality. *As a result, many deposition steps are done using Chemical-Vapor Deposition, or CVD. With CVD, one can achieve uniform deposition on all surfaces. However, it can be difficult to control ultra-thin films.

Sometimes, analysts ask whether they should purchase a Cold Cathode or a Schottky cathode field emission SEM. Although the Cold Cathode and Schottky cathode field emission systems both have excellent resolution, there are some differences between the two configurations. The Cold Cathode performance is achieved through a sharp tungsten tip. The sharp tip leads to a very high brightness, which in turn leads to higher resolution at low accelerating voltages. Cold Cathode Field Emission gives best images, but these sources are sensitive to gas atoms in the chamber, so vacuum must be better, which increases cost of system. The current can be unstable, so Cold Cathode Field Emission doesn't work well for certain applications like energy dispersive x-ray analysis. The low energy spread reduces chromatic aberration, leading to the highest quality images. The Schottky field emission uses thermal assistance. This reduces performance slightly but gives a more stable beam, making it a better choice for applications that require higher current. Some Schottky emitters use zirconium oxide coated tips to reduce the energy barrier at higher temperatures. Notice the lower probe diameter at higher beam currents for the Schottky emission configuration.

Sometimes the floor environment is different than the standard values given of 30°C/60%RH. One must understand how to calculate the correct floor life. Let's work through that calculation for parts that pass MSL 4. The packages have a thickness of <2.1mm, and they will be placed in an environment at 30°C/90%RH.
Example: Parts pass in MSL 4. Floor life in pkg with thickness <2.1mm, under environment 30°C/90%RH, floor life is 0.5 day.
If you look in J-STD-033B in Table 7.1 (Page 21), you should be able to find this part of the figure (bottom part of table). Locate MSL 4 (Level 4), go over to the 90% RH column and locate the row for 30°C. The value reads 1 day, so the recommended total equivalent floor life is 1 day. If you have specified a floor life of 0.5 days, you are within the specification called out by JEDEC J-STD-033B.

Q: I need the actual info on: MSL 2 sample (Rel stress soaking: 85 °C/60%RH, 168hrs). Floor life is 1 year under 30 °C/60%RH storage. What is the floor life if storage under 30°C/70%RH?
A: The best way to make this calculation is to use Peck's Formula to calculate an acceleration factor.
The AF (ratio of TF values, 70%RH/60%RH) = (RH70%/RH60%)-a * exp([Ea /k](1/ T70% -1/ T60%])
The temperatures are the same between the two, so only the humidity is a factor. We'll use 2.7 for a (the humidity exponent) – a typical value for this calculation.
So the floor life storage would be 1 year / 1.516 or 0.6595 years (7.914 months) at 70%RH.

Q: We are using the growth equation (see Excel GROWTH function for details) to model degradation in InGaN laser diodes. Is this approach acceptable for prediction purposes?
A: Using the GROWTH function in Excel presumes that the degradation process will be slow and non- catastrophic. While this approach might be acceptable on a mature process line where no catastrophic degradation occurs, it is quite dangerous to make this assumption across all device types or technologies. Some devices can degrade gradually for a period of time and then exhibit a dramatic, or catastrophic decrease in output.

Q: I am looking at determining Tj for some of our LEDs to understand the effect of droop on light output performance. I am looking to get a handle on the typical thermal resistance (theta-JA) that this package would exhibit. The chip is flip-chip mounted onto a small PCB evaluation board. The die size is just over one square millimeter. I just need a back of the envelope value for small flip-chip package theta-JA (sill air). Does JEDEC give any guidance or do you know off the top of your head what value range would be?
A: I would need some additional details to figure out what theta-JA would be. Specifically, we would need to know what package you're planning to use. Here is a rough figure. For a 1 millimeter-thick package, like a TSSOP, the theta-JA value is approximately 80C/Watt. JEDEC talks mainly about how to measure these values (IR thermography, etc. - JEP110 is a good source here). There are a number of documents associated with JESD-51 (the main standard for thermal resistance) that can help in this determination as well. I would try to make a measurement to really determine what you're dealing with, if possible.

Capacitance-Voltage Plotting – Part 1
By Christopher Henderson
Capacitance-voltage or CV plotting, is a common electrical technique for investigating charge phenomena in MOS structures and transistors. In this article, we'll review some of the characteristics of the CV plot, and how it is used to identify and characterize yield and process integration problems.
Figure 1 shows a high and low-frequency capacitance-voltage plot of an ideal MOS structure. The solid line denotes the high frequency curve, while the dashed line denotes the low frequency curve. The capacitance is high when the structure is in accumulation, decreases toward the flatband condition at zero volts applied to the structure, and decreases further toward Cmin, the steady state high frequency condition. In the low frequency condition, the capacitance begins to rise again at a voltage called the match point. As the voltage increases, the capacitance increases to a level similar to that in accumulation. This is sometimes referred to as a quasi-static CV measurement, and is measured using the voltage ramp method. In the voltage ramp method, the voltage is ramped very slowly at a given rate, typically less than 50 mV/sec. The measured displacement current is proportional to the capacitance. The frequency is considered to be low when the generation of electron-hole pairs keeps up with the signal. When the frequency is high, only majority carriers can follow the signal. At low frequencies, the charge exchange with the inversion minority carriers is in step with the varying signal. The small signal response dQ to dV appears at the surface (inversion) rather that at the depletion boundary. As the inversion layer forms, the capacitance increases back to Cmax ! Cox.
Fig. 1. High and Low Frequency Capacitance- Voltage plot of an ideal MOS structure.
Figure 2 shows a high-frequency capacitance-voltage, or CV plot of an ideal MOS structure. High frequency measurements allow the user to hide the effects of minority carriers since minority carriers cannot react fast enough to follow the signal. The capacitance is high, approximately that of the ideal capacitance across the oxide, when the voltage is negative. When the voltage is negative, the MOS structure is in accumulation, so the surface hole concentration increases, raising the capacitance. At flatband, the capacitance should be equal to the ideal capacitance for the flatband condition. As the voltage goes positive, the MOS structure goes into depletion. The surface electron concentration increases, but remains at a level too low to offset the decrease in surface hole concentration. In weak inversion, the surface electron hole concentration is higher than the surface hole concentration, but the depletion width increases, lowering the capacitance further. In strong inversion, the surface electron concentration equals the surface hole concentration at flatband, and the depletion width reaches its maximum. The capacitance reaches it's minimum at this value as well. This is also the threshold voltage point, where "s is approximately equal to 2#b. The steady-state condition is reached when sufficient electrons are supplied to the surface mechanisms like electron-hole pair generation.

There is currently a lot of research and development work on Through-Silicon Vias or TSVs. Although polysilicon in the TSV makes for a good material from the standpoint of a good thermal match, manufacturers would prefer to cause copper, since it has a much lower resistance. Copper has a much higher coefficient of thermal expansion than silicon, leading to several failure mechanisms. A common failure mechanism is a phenomenon called copper pumping. During thermal cycling, the copper expands and contracts, alternately pressing up on the back end of the line (BEOL) materials, and relaxing back. This creates the bulge seen in this image. This pumping action causes stress in the BEOL layers, leading to BEOL damage, or cracking in the metal and dielectric layers. Most process engineers work to reduce the copper pumping effect through the use of annealing and sintering. These steps increase grain size and reduce the coefficient of thermal expansion somewhat.

Q: How can I limit the breakdown damage when an oxide is stressed in a Power MOSFET device?
A: Use a current limiting resistor or set a lower compliance limit on the SMU. A more active monitoring circuit may be needed if the FN tunneling current is already significant.

EOS in Manufacturing Webinar
Electrical Overstress (EOS) and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) account for most of the electrical failures of devices that occur in factories and in the field.. The effects of ESD on integrated circuits have received much attention in technical literature, standards bodies and educational workshops and tutorials. The problem has been approached in a systematic manner which has resulted in relatively successful practices for design of robust devices and control procedures for the factory. However, the same cannot be said for the effects of the broader categories of electrical stresses generally referred to as electrical overstress (EOS). This disparity is reflected in the typical Pareto analysis
of failures in electrical assembly where EOS is often the most commonly assigned cause of failure and may exceed the incidence of ESD by 10 times or more. One of the main reasons for this is that EOS sources are widely varied and very application dependent. As a result, no simple broad models for EOS have emerged comparable to HBM and CDM for ESD. Common device design practices have not been developed to the same extent, system level approaches tend to be ad hoc and responsibility for controlling potential sources in manufacturing tends to be diffused or non-existent.

Brooweena War Memorial, found in the Woocoo Historical Museum's grounds, has a one-off soldier statue erected by the residents in late 1922.
The origin and designer of this soldier statue is unclear, although produced by Maryborough monumental masonry firm FW Webb. The pedestal is of a style not found elsewhere in Queensland and it bears an unusual inscription, a verse: On fame's eternal camping ground/... more
Their silent tents are spread/Where glory guards with solemn around/The Bivouac of the Dead.
WWI had an immense impact on the Australian population. Brooweena's war memorial notes that 39 local men enlisted. Nationally, 60,000 Australians (or one in five soldiers) died in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Curiously the Bridge Pylon memorialises nine soldiers and the soldier statue mentions 10.
The soldier statue is not this tiny rural community's only war memorial, nor was it the first.
A local station owner paid for a memorial bridge and honour roll, south of the village, a year earlier. Brooweena also funded an ambulance for France as a further memorial tribute.
A set of plates recording 43 men and women from the district who served in WWII has been added to the soldier statue memorial.... less

Brain damage is sometimes the result of a preventable birth injury or other instance of medical malpractice. During a baby's delivery, mistakes or negligence on the part of the delivery team can cause serious, even permanent, brain damage that may necessitate a lifetime of medical care.
At The Berkowitz Law Firm LLC, our medical malpractice attorneys have the medical knowledge and legal experience to obtain fair and satisfactory compensation for the families of patients suffering such losses.
Common Causes of Brain Injury at Birth
The brain damage that occurs shortly before, during or soon after a baby's delivery is often due to:
- a lack of blood flow or oxygen, or
- trauma that is a result of too much force being used, e.g. with forceps or vacuum extractors
These causes may have been unavoidable, or they may have been due to substandard, inadequate medical care.
Types of Brain Injuries
There are several types of brain damage that a newborn may incur as a birth injury, including:
- Cerebral palsy
- Loss of oxygen supply to the brain
- Intracranial hemorrhage (bleeding in the baby's head)
- Cranial nerve trauma
- Cephalohematoma (an area of bleeding beneath the scalp)
- Swelling or bruising of the brain
Symptoms of Brain Damage
An infant who suffers a brain injury at birth may show signs or symptoms of the damage immediately. However, the child may seem normal and healthy at birth, showing the signs of the damage much later, when the parents realize that their baby is not meeting the usual growth markers for being able to:
- hold its head up
- sit up
- crawl
- babble and talk
- walk
Motor and speech skill limitations, seizures, and mental retardation are signs of brain damage that may have been caused by medical negligence.
Brain Damage in Older Patients
In children, adolescents, adults and the elderly, brain injuries may occur due to unavoidable accidents. When the damage is due to medical malpractice or to the negligence or intentional harm of another, the attorneys at the Berkowitz Law Firm LLC are ready to help. We understand that brain damage is one of the most severe and life-altering misfortunes that can happen to an individual and his or her family.
The medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and loss of physical and mental capacity alone can be devastating, and the emotional anguish can seem overwhelming. We counsel and represent people whose lives have been impacted by brain damage, and we strive to obtain the best possible legal outcome for our clients.
To speak to an experienced brain damage attorney in Stamford, Danbury, or Bridgeport, Connecticut, contact the Berkowitz Law Firm LLC today.

President Obama's has pledged to make companies using hydraulic fracturing to drill for natural gas disclose a list of chemicals used in their operations, and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar just announced today that those wells will also be subject to inspection after the fracking process. Salazar hinted that new fracking rules will be delivered in the coming weeks that are meant to ensure safety during fracking operations and protect drinking water. The pro-fracking community seems to think that such "common sense" safety measures are going to kill the natural gas industry. Considering its impact on the environment, we're not so sure that would be a bad thing.
Offshore oil rigs, onshore oil wells, and coal mines are already inspected on a regular basis by government officials, so it makes sense to lump natural gas companies into that pile. The gas industry seems to be steaming partially because Salazar has hinted that much of the financial burden of testing the fracking wells will fall on the gas companies themselves. If you ask us, that makes more sense than the government paying for their risky, destructive behavior.
"To me, those rules are common sense," Salazar said. "You have some people say that this will kill the natural gas industry — that's very far from the truth." Though these regulations won't put an end to the process of fracking — during which companies shoot a mix of sand, toxic chemicals, and water deep into shale rock below the Earth's surface to release reserves of natural gas — it is a step toward ensuring that our ground water remains drinkable. The new regulations, which will be revealed soon, will help to ensure that fracking wells aren't leaking toxic chemicals into underground aquifers used for drinking water.

With a 360 controller the throttle and brake are progressive, better with manual gears.The new island looks nice, graphics are good. There is some pop-up and minor bugs. But on the whole a nice place to explore. The change of light and weather is good too.Cars aren't bad. For some reason the sound has taken a step back from the first game. Some of the cars sound real bad, as if they were from a 10yr old racing game. While others (Ford GT40) sound good. The modelling is good, the cars look nice, interiors look good.The racing is okay, although i tried to do some racing with the Alfa Brera and it was highly frustrating. Not sure if the Brera is really that rubbish in real life but it has some serious lack of go and absolutely no torque.But off-roading rally style with the Subaru Impreza WRX was great fun. It's one of the better cars so far, nice model and sound.Menu's are better and the map is better too. And the first person walk about is a good idea.Personally for us this is a good game. It's perhaps not as good as we hoped. But we like the free roam aspect, just exploring the islands with the occasional race. Like a spiritual successor to Midtown Madness. I have F1 2010 for proper track style racing.

I even had the Roval Trail SL carbon hoops on it towards the end of our time together (which really took the bike to the next level). The reason I don't have it anymore? I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase a 2013 version of the Marathon.

The whole short top tube long stem/versus long top tube and short stem thing has had me thinking about what I want on my bikes. My buddies have called me the "man of many stems" because I have bought so many recently. Between the saddle setback, the stem length,and the rise, it's all I can do to make sense of it all. I know any position I choose involves a compromise of some kind. After much playing around I have got my cockpits the way I want them. But- if my goals change, or I want to adapt a bike to a particular ride, I'm ready to start fiddling again!

I have a 2006 Lemond Croix de Fer, and apart from much narrower tire-clearances than it has any reason to have, and coming with a generic carbon fork (replaced for steel), I couldn't be happier. The extra weight? If it matters, it only matters in acceleration, and the difference is what, 2% of the total rider/bike mass? Better taken off our middles. And there is this, of course:

"Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky, but Crom is your god. Crom, and he lives in the earth. Once giants lived in the earth, Conan, and in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Crom, and they took from him the enigma of steel. Crom was angered, and the earth shook, and fire and wind struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into the waters. But in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of steel and left it on the battlefield, and we who found it. We are just men, not gods, not giants, just men. And the secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Conan, you must learn its discipline, for no one, no one in this world can you trust, not men, not women, not beasts... This you can trust."Ἀντισθένηςhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469303850160738825.post-51159670422805211622013-08-28T21:24:15.447-07:002013-08-28T21:24:15.447-07:00Actually, that is my living room.

* I'm always looking for folks to ride with. It becomes easier if they are (a) close to my speed and (b) ride in the same area I do. I have found several riding friends this way.

* I like to track myself. I understand not caring about the ride. I have ridden without Strava recently, because I didn't care. However, I like to know if I really did go faster on a technical descent than I did three months ago, or if I'm deceiving myself.

* I'm a two-time cancer survivor. I've had a number of times where I thought "Wow, that felt really tiring. Maybe it's back." Then I see the Strava results, and can see that I don't have to worry; it was just a fast ride.

Interestingly, I have no feedback mid-ride, except a clock. My actual speed at a given time doesn't concern me.

Enjoy riding. If something helps you enjoy your rides, stick with it.

A new book detailing the story of the Rolling Stones' famed instruments is set for release on February 4. The book, The Rolling Stones Gear, spans over six-hundred pages and took author Andy Babiuk over nine years to complete.
In an official statement the author explained that to know that band's gear is to better understand their sound:
"It's also the story of the Rolling Stones, but with a new twist: their history as told through the instruments they used. The book covers not only the group's personal background, but also every tour and studio session from their inception in 1962 to date, with detailed documentation illustrating what instruments and equipment were used during these periods."
Babiuk previously published a similar book, which gave an inside look at the Beatles' equipment called Beatles Gear.

Dell Launches Desktop Virtualization Tool That Helps Government And Military Organizations Be More Flexible And Operate Anywhere, Anytime
Dell today announced the launch of its Desktop Virtualization Solutions for Government (DVS-Gov), an end-to-end desktop virtualization tool designed specifically for government customers. This secure and efficient enterprise-class solution helps government agencies manage "geographic sprawl" through greater mobility and the ability to power almost any device virtually anywhere, allowing government workers more flexibility. DVS-Gov can allow customers to securely access information anywhere in the world to manage operations that require a powerful, IT backbone that meets tough federal security and compliance standards.
Government agencies looking at optimizing endpoint management often gravitate to desktop virtualization as a solution to this problem. DVS-Gov also ensures simple management for agencies requiring telework as well as greater overall mobility functions. However, many government customers are also beginning to field demands from their workforce to have their networks accommodate any device, anywhere which can open up new security loopholes, such as secure data leaving a secure area, which has prevented many agencies from accommodating telework or greater mobility in the past.
The Dell DVS-Gov solution addresses these issues and enables more secure mobility in a fully end-to-end validated technology stack. In conjunction with newly acquired Wyse technology, DVS-Gov helps federal agencies meet strict regulatory mandates for data access by meeting government certification and security standards. Additionally, in partnership with AppSense and ActivIdentity, DVS-Gov also gives government customers granular control over security and access policy which allows them to give their employees the freedom to securely access their work in more places with more devices. This solution makes viable initiatives like telework, allowing employees to work remotely out of necessity or allowing for greater flexibility.
"We're committed to helping our government customers accomplish their mission anywhere, anytime," said Jere Carroll, general manager of civilian and intelligence agencies, Dell Federal. "With IT becoming a vital tool government customers require to accomplish their mission, we at Dell are constantly looking for ways to empower these very important customers by giving them the flexibility they need – and DVS-Gov is a perfect example of that."

I've often thought that had Gore become president, he'd likely never have become such a crusader for awareness of the need to act to alleviate global warming.
Perhaps his losing that election may ultimately prove far more significant in our ultimate survival as a species...if we heed his warnings, that is, which as MM suggests currently appears doubtful.

May 12, 2014 4:27 AM by Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - A rhetorical battle between the rival Koreas intensified Monday with a South Korean official saying North Korea "must disappear soon."
The comments, which will likely draw a furious response from Pyongyang, followed a series of sexist and racist slurs by North Korea against the leaders of South Korea and the United States. Pyongyang's state media likened South Korean President Park Geun-hye to an "old prostitute" and U.S. President Barack Obama to a "monkey" in recent dispatches.
South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok told reporters at a briefing in Seoul that North Korea isn't a real country and exists for the benefit of only one person, a reference to dictator Kim Jong Un. He said the North has no human rights or public freedoms.
South Korea has been highly critical of North Korea's nuclear and missile programs, including recent rocket and missile tests and apparent preparations for a fourth nuclear test. But the comments from Seoul on Monday are stronger than normal. South Korea tries to avoid publicly talking about anything that could be interpreted as a collapse of the North Korean government because of worries that Pyongyang would raise tensions.
Pyongyang has been ramping up its rhetoric against Seoul and Washington since Obama and Park met in Seoul last month. During that visit, Obama said that it may be time to consider further sanctions against North Korea and that the U.S. will not hesitate to use its military might to defend its allies.
South Korea has called the North's verbal insults against Park immoral and unacceptable. The U.S. State Department described the North's racist slurs against Obama as "disgusting."
Worries about renewed tension on the Korean Peninsula have recently deepened with Pyongyang threatening to conduct its fourth nuclear test to protest what it calls U.S. and South Korean hostility.
North Korea's barrage of rocket and missile tests earlier this year drew condemnation from South Korea, the United States and others. The North says the tests were part of military training aimed at coping with annual Seoul-Washington springtime military drills that Pyongyang calls an invasion rehearsal.

"We come back every year because we all love the kids and being around them. It's also the best week of the year for all of us."
— MDA summer camp volunteer
Have you ever been to summer camp? Awesome activities, ultimate bonding, memories for a lifetime and NO PARENTS! There couldn't be a sweeter deal!
Since 1955, MDA has thrown into full throttle a week designed to break down barriers and provide the same unforgettable experience for kids with muscular dystrophy.
MDA summer camp is out of this world, literally! It's the ideal world dreamed up by every young person with a muscle disease.
It's a place and time where everything is accessible, where fellow campers are just like them, and where no boundaries exist.
Kids at camp get that physical activity needed to keep body, mind and spirit healthy through activities not always available to them during other times of the year.
The friendships formed go on forever. It's all about youth interacting with youth and having an outrageous amount of FUN!
Everyone needs a memory to hold on to, a story to tell, a song to sing, and MDA summer camp is there to provide that and more.
MDA summer camp motiv8s its campers. Will it motiv8 you?
Each year, MDA supports nearly 80 summer camps across the country. Our campers can just be themselves among friends. Of course, these camps wouldn't be possible without the help of volunteers.
If you're 16 or older, you're invited to apply to join the MDA team as a camp volunteer. At most MDA camps, volunteer counselors work one-on-one with campers ages 6-17 for the week, and serve as a caregiver and camp buddy.
Muscular dystrophy affects each person differently. Some are able to walk but may fall easily. Some have wheelchairs. Some will need help with the bathroom, bathing, getting dressed and eating.
As an MDA counselor, you're expected to provide the assistance needed to ensure your camper's participation in activities. Not to worry — MDA provides training.
Picture it. You, the campers, the memories destined to be made and ALL the many activities that make MDA camp:
Then, just be a friend and supporter to all the campers and other counselors, and make memories that will last a lifetime!

The Mentalist Review: The Red Listby Christine Orlando at . Comments
No, "Black Cherry" was not specifically a Red John-centered story, yet Jane's obsession with finding the vicious serial killer was never far from his thoughts.
It's all in the research; and Jane is jotting down every person he's shaken hands with since arriving at the CBI. There were lots of intriguing names on that list. Some I've all but forgotten and others that caught my attention.
Virgil Minelli was my pick for Red John during the first season of the show. Gregory Itzin could certainly pull off the transition from lovable former CBI Director to diabolical serial murderer. I really wouldn't mind seeing that one come to fruition.
Walter Mashburn, rich playboy and Lisbon's former lover, was also an interesting choice. Currie Graham was another of my favorite guest stars and I wouldn't mind seeing him return in any capacity, but having him turn up as Red John would be a real twist.
Of course, there's always Bret Stiles - and wouldn't that be something, especially since he helped Jane spring Lorelei out of prison just to find Red John?
Those are my three favorites but I could go on and on about the list. Most of you likely could could because for as many fans who complain that the Red John story has run its course, there are many more who can't stop theorizing about the identity of the evil psychopath who is as obsessed with Patrick Jane as Jane is with him.
It's the dark and twisted subplot that gives the show an undeniable depth.
And tonight it also gave me one of my favorite moments between Jane and Lisbon, as the latter asked if she was on Jane's list of possible subjects. Jane responded in this The Mentalist quote:
She said it's a wonder Red John and I didn't become friends. Now what we have, I consider a friendship. So my friend, you are free and clear. | permalink
It isn't often that Jane acknowledges his friendships. It was nice to hear him say it out loud to Lisbon. Of course, it wasn't long before the moment was over and she wanted to strangle him once again.
The murder of the week was just okay. Not really anything special. I knew it was someone at the real estate agency but I honestly didn't much care who. However, that they bludgeoned a man to death as a team sport was a rather sickening twist.
I was a little surprised that Jane pushed so hard for Lisbon to drop the charges against Julianna, but Jane always feels a kinship towards children and he definitely formed a bond with Noah.
I was even more surprised that Lisbon veered from the law and order route and pushed to let Julianna go. Pulling Sarah into it made some sense but it did seem a little odd to bring her character back. We haven't seen her in months and I'm not seeing what purpose the character serves if she and Rigsby are no longer together. Any ADA could have played the same role here.
Cho couldn't wait to dive into the new rapid deployment team. His eyes lit up when he saw the new weapons. He'll fit in well there with his background and I see a new love interest for him on the horizon.
Jane was definitely in a more playful mood this week. Having a new lead on Red John has given him hope. But is it a tangible lead or just another wild goose chase? Will we ever meet the real Red John?
C. Orlando is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow her on Twitter.Tags: The Mentalist, Reviews
The real mystery is who Jane and Red John really are. Both their lives are hidden. We don't know the real backstory on either of them. We have to eat our vegetables before we can have desert! The writer's haven't even scratched the surface on Jane yet.
I think that when this long ride we have been on is over and the writer's stop the car and we open the door and get out; we are going to say OMG it was him.... I should have known! I believe Red John was a ordinary man that worked his way up. During this time he went through a huge transformation or had one fabulous makeover! ANYWAY! Red John's styles of killings seem to have changed from then to now. I believe it was because he was in transition during these periods. Now he is stable and becoming a master. Before I really got into the series I was only concerned about revealing Red John. I think the backstory may be the most important of all. I think it will reveal Jane's and Red John's lives and how they came to be. It's not just about the who of it. It's about the why and how of it as well. That is why Jane's past is so hidden.
Jane learned his skills by being born and raised in a traveling carnival environment and coming from a long line of carney people. He is extremely intelligent with a natural gift for "reading" people. He reads constantly, deeply and over a wide range of topics. He was reading Carl Jung at the end of Season 4. Jung wrote his ideas in what is called his "Red Book." (There we go again.) The Jung philosophy is pretty consistent with what Red John seems to believe. (Pure crap IMHO, but he's a serial killer, so can't expect much.) If Royston is RJ I would be disappointed because he's too uninteresting. That's not a good disappointment to have. We have no investment in him as viewers. We need to have a good cartharsis in seeing him brought down. Royston would be a yawner. OTOH Mashburn would be a bitter disappointment and that's not good either.
I don't think I'm going to be disappointed when Red John is revealed. Red John seems to be someone who was a working class person who worked his way up. His insanity has somehow transformed him or Red John had a fabulous makeover when he came into his fortune! ANYWAY! Red John has been a killer for a long time. His styles of killing have have changed probably because his was still in transition during these times. Once he is revealed they will also reveal Red John's back story and that by itself will be absolutely fascinating. More fascinating is the fact that Jane has known him the whole time!
Red John's vioce seems very strange as if he's hiding it. Why? Because it is something you can't change, it's like a finger print. If Red John talked in his normal voice Jane would recognize it!
Professor Moriarty was Sherlocks childhood math teacher and later went insane. Bret Stile did tell Jane he was acting like an apprentice of sorts. Professor Moriarty liked Sherlocks intelligence but was willing to kill him if necessary. Red John has a twisted affection for Jane and has had the opportunity kill him but has not. Jane and Red John share the same set of skills. Red John seems to be superior to Jane. They seem to have a Grasshopper and teacher relationship. Jane can't recognize Red John because he is now insane. They sill however share the same attributes and skills. I think Red John has gone through a radical transformation of sorts as not to be detectable to Jane.
Could it be possible that the person that trained Jane is Red John? Oh, wait a minute, a pupil, teacher rivalry. This idea sure keeps up w/ the Moriarty storyline! This could be a major clue!
Jennifer1, you present a good solid case. Do you have any other connectors? I haven't eliminatated anyone but I do have my main suspects at the top of the list! We did say that these rich bad guys run in the same little circles and it is not inconceivable that these two organizations are connected in some way. The writer's did not just accidentally present two organizations like this for no reason. Something to think about. What I want to know is where did Jane pick up his skills, who trained him? He never went to high school and so he probably didn't go to college. So who did he train under?
My 1st pick for Red John is Jane's father or a relative. I'm looking for connector's. Look at this RJ-PJ. Looking at all the tea drinkers. Guess what and it may be nothing but Cho drinks tea and he knows Blake. There are so many things to consider but I'm sure it can be narrowed down. I did discover that Visualize believes in the same philosophy as Red John and was referred as a brainwashing cult. Watch the episode the Red all Over. The Visualize cult member speaks the same dogma.
Plus, you make some good points about Mashburn but I love the Mashburn character and I refuse to believe he's RJ! ;-)

If your animals experience decreased lactation Milk Booster is the product you need to quickly increase milk production. Milk Booster contains certified organic herbs of goat's rue leaf, fenugreek seed, blessed thistle leaf, fennel seed, and nettle leaf in vegetable glycerin and deionized water. Manufactured in an FDA registered and GMP certified facility.
This easy to use concentrated liquid herbal extract is sold in unbreakable, recyclable plastic bottles for safe use with outdoor animals.
Milk Booster has the potency of an alcohol extract and the palatability
of a glycerin-based product. Most glycerin-based products use glycerin and water as the extractives, which result in fewer active constituents in the product. Our herbs are extracted in ethyl alcohol and deionized water to produce the highest quality extract. The alcohol is slowly steamed off and then replaced with naturally sweet tasting vegetable glycerin.
Determined by the weight of the animal, Milk Booster can be effectively dosed for smaller breeder rabbits to large dairy animals. It is easily administered by drops fed directly into the mouth, or by the teaspoon on feed or alfalfa cubes. You know exactly how much is administered and consumed, more so than with dried herbs mixed into feed.
Recommended initial dosing
Smaller animals: 2 drops per 10 lbs. twice daily
Larger animals : ½ tsp per 100 lbs. twice daily
The herbs in Mammal Mama's Milk Booster have been given safely and effectively to lactating animals, but please observe your animal for any adverse effect. You may increase the dose if you do not see desired results within 48 hours.
According to Greg Tilford, author of "Herbs for Pets" and "Herbal Remedies for Dogs and Cats"
"Glycerin is metabolized in a manner similar to a triglyceride; not a sugar, which means it can be used safely in animals with alcohol sensitivity or in those with diabetes."
