Putin: It Is Time To Play Your Ace In The HoleSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/26/2014 - 22:15
The entire world is watching Putin play poker with the Western politicians lead by Obama and followed by Washington quislings in London, Brussels and Berlin. America's goal since the end of the Cold War has been to weaken by financial, economic and, if necessary, military means any real competition to its global financial and resource domination through the petrodollar and dollar world reserve currency status. We hope Putin realizes the US is not playing games here, as this is a financial and strategic game to the death for Washington and it's Western allies that have foolishly followed the Goldman Sachs/central banking cartel's deadly sovereign debt recipe and for growth and prosperity. The time is up; the debts can never be repaid and sooner or later must be repudiated one way or the other.

Game Over Japan: Real Wages Crash Most In 21st Century, Savings Rate Turns NegativeSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/26/2014 - 22:09
After two years of economic torture and financial destruction, Abenomics has finally claimed the Keynesian prize: real wages crash 4.3%, the most in the 21st century, and Japan's legendary savings rate, which peaked at 23% in 1975, just turned negative for the first time ever. Game over Japan.

60 Prominent Germans Appeal Against Another War In Europe: "It Is Not About Putin. What Is At Stake Is Europe"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/26/2014 - 21:22
Two weeks ago, as the S&P was preparing to surge on the latest round of all time high market-goosing algo trickery by the FOMC, 60 prominent German personalities from the realms of politics, economics, culture and the media were less concerned with blinking red and green stock quotes and were focused on something far more serious to the future of the world: the threat of war with Russia. In a letter published by Die Zeit, numerous famous and respected Germans including a former president and former prime minister write "Wieder Krieg in Europa? Nicht in unserem Namen!", or, roughly translated, "War in Europe Again? Not in Our Names!" As the signatories note: "It is not about Putin. Heads of state come and go. What is at stake is Europe."

Drilling Cutbacks Mean Service Companies Forced To Scrap RigsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/26/2014 - 21:05
Despite the decline in oil prices, the U.S. is expected to boost production by 300,000 barrels per day in 2015, up to a yearly average of about 9.3 million barrels per day, according to the most recent government estimates. But the number of oil and gas rigs in operation is already beginning to drop. The fall off is an indication that exploration companies are beginning to pare back investments. Pulling back on drilling may result in a lower future production, which could hurt the growth prospects of some oil firms. However, the slowdown in drilling activity is having a much more immediate and acute effect on a separate set of companies – those supplying the rigs.

As the S&P 500 pushes towards Goldman Sachs 2,100 year end target (for 2015!!) today, we thought it worth considering just how much awesomeness has been pulled forward, priced-in, exuberantly-chased. As the following charts show, based on bottom-up long-term-growth expectations, S&P forward P/E valuations have never been higher. But that's not all...

"Will We Never Learn?" - Meet Subprime Auto 'Title Loans': 2014's Home ATMSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/26/2014 - 19:55
The car is at the center of the biggest boom in subprime lending since the mortgage crisis, and The NY Times reports, similar to how a red-hot mortgage market once coaxed millions of borrowers into recklessly tapping the equity in their homes, the new boom is also leading people to take out risky lines of credit known as title loans.

"Everything Is Awesome"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/26/2014 - 18:10
As Politico's Michael Grunwald writes below (we believe non-satirically), the midterm election's discontent was illegitimate. The point is that Americans should cheer up! And whose fault is all the collective doom? Well, Bill De Blasio already explained that, as Grunwald confirms, the press has a problem reporting good news. So sit back, grab a drink (though swallow it first) and enjoy reading why "everything is awesome" in America (apart from a record 101.5 million Americans not working, record numbers on foodstamps, record numbers on disability, a record wealth divide, a record - and deadly - racial divide, record poverty, and record child homelessness).

The Only Good 'Starship Troopers' Remake is a Dead 'Starship Troopers' RemakeIn Development By Nathan Adams on December 2, 2011 | Comments (11)
Back in the late 90s, expert director of schlock Paul Verhoeven took a stab at adapting one of legendary sci-fi novelist Robert Heinlein's most popular stories, "Starship Troopers", and the results were something that resembled Heinlein's far-looking, satirical tale less than it did a B-level genre piece that was far more…well, schlocky. Starship Troopers was all about bad acting, big explosions, disgusting amounts of bug goop, and exploitative co-ed naked shower scenes. It may not have been an adaptation with a tone that was true to its source material, but it had its own kind of charm, you know? And since it was just made in the 90s, and it's got special effects that actually hold up pretty well, you wouldn't think there would be any need to revisit the material again. But you would be wrong. Or at least producer Neal Moritz thinks you're wrong. You may have heard Moritz's name before, he's the Sony Pictures bigwig responsible for another recent remake; the upcoming and Colin Farrell-starring Total Recall. The similarities between these two projects are endless. The original Total Recall was also a Paul Verhoeven movie, it was also (very loosely) adapted from a story by a legendary science fiction writer (Philip K. Dick), and it was also something that nobody really thought needed to be remade. That film hasn't hit theaters yet or anything, but Moritz must be really happy with what he's seen of it, because with this new take on Starship Troopers he's pretty clearly […]
Because You Asked For It: A 'Goosebumps' MovieIn Development By Scott Beggs on September 16, 2010 | Comments (1)
It's been a while since the 90s started being officially mined for ideas, and yet for some reason, the book series from R.L. Stine that was required reading for anyone growing up in the decade hasn't made it to the big screen until now. However, the news that Disturbia co-writer Carl Ellsworth has been hired to take a stab at the adaptation doesn't prove it's any closer to being a done deal, either. The book series was already put down on screenwriting paper by writing team Larry Karaszewski and Scott Alexander (The People vs Larry Flynt, 1408). This would be a completely fresh script and a renewed commitment by producer Neal Moritz to see the book series brought to life.

ARCHITECT | NCARB Survey Shows Uptick in the Number of Architects in the U.S.
A press release published by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) on Nov. 20 shows that the architecture profession is expanding in conjunction with the slowly recovering economy. NCARB's 2014 Survey of Architectural Registration Boards indicates that the U.S. has 107,581 architects, a 1.6 percent increase from 2013 and a 3.1 percent increase since 2011.
The annual survey collects information from all 54 U.S. jurisdictions (which includes all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands) on the number of registered architects and reciprocal registrations, which allow individuals to practice architecture in jurisdictions different from where they earned their initial license. The latest report reflects registration numbers from July 2013 to June 2014.

This month's question:
If you could give the you-of-10-years-ago advice, what would it be?
Valerie Gindlesberger, Associate AIA | Summit Custom Homes
Disclaimer: 10 years ago I was navigating the halls of my high school so I will take some artistic license here and direct this toward my early college years.
1.) People will tell you 'no', and you'll be stronger for it.
Two words: Jury Day. As painful as it sometimes was, there is no faster way to earn the tough skin required to stand up to a client's rejection, and understand that it is only an opportunity to make something better.
2.) Learn to say 'no', and you'll be stronger for it. (Note: I am still working on this one.)
Balance is important. If we commit to everything people ask us to do we are gearing up for a whole lot of mediocre work. Do a few things, extremely well, and then have the time to enjoy that success with friends and family.
3.) Say 'yes' to as many opportunities as possible.
So I contradict myself. Opportunities to see and experience the world do not often come around more than once. They will become the stories that make up who you are, not 'what you do.' And you will find your best friends in the process.
Al Harris, AIA | Populous
Four pieces of advice in no particular order:
1. Find a mentor as soon as possible and develop a strong relationship with that person.
2. Learn just as much about the things you're not that interested (weaknesses) in as well as the stuff that wakes you up in the morning (strengths). This applies to both inside and outside architecture. Being an (Renaissance) Everything Man or Woman is more valuable today than you think.
3. Create a plan and chart a path to the goals you're aiming for and be flexible if and when that plan and path veers off course. Have and maintain a positive attitude and don't limit the professional development process with preconceived thoughts based on assumptions and external influences. Some of the tasks you'll be given may seem menial or not in-line with your skillset but with an open mind and a can-do attitude, those tasks will turn into meaningful responsibilities quicker than you imagine.
4. Time is relative: It may not seem like it at the time, but in hindsight 10 years goes by fast and is full of change. Have fun in the moment.
Angie Nygren, AIA | Crawford Architects
Ten years ago this week, I was entering my freshman year of college. What advice would I have given myself? Hem, hem: (I flick my wrists outwardly as a 20-foot-long scroll rolls out in front of me).
In terms of a career in architecture, my primary piece of advice would be: "Embrace what you don't know."
To admit ignorance is an uncomfortable feeling. Inwardly, I felt like a failure if I didn't know or didn't understand something. Outwardly, I worried about what others were thinking. The natural default was then to feign perfection in attempt to gain respect from others. But once you admit that you don't know – and embrace it – you open yourself up for a richer learning process, which will in turn help advance your career.
How to apply this advice:
First of all, ask questions and speak up if something is unclear. Don't feel like a failure if you don't have a clear, decisive answer. Look at your career as a continual work in progress.
And on a larger scale, branch out and learn things that aren't in your realm of expertise. Architecture is such an all-encompassing profession; in particular, the addition of sustainability to our architectural repertoire demands an even greater knowledge base, incorporating geography, climate, and the environment.
Charles Cassias, Jr., FAIA | BNIM
What advice would I give the me of 10 years ago….
I am a bit torn by the question; I'm not certain 10 years offers a long enough perspective over a 40‐plus year career, as in many ways, I was fairly well entrenched in my habits after 30 years. Looking back 10 years;
• I would stress being rigorous in all you do; to work to be better each day, to be excellent in all you do and to be the best teammate and collaborator in your work and relationships.
• I would also tell myself to be more willing to take risk and explore unfamiliar territories and ideas, to be more assertive and to be more outgoing and forthright in sharing the knowledge and experiences accumulated over my career.
• I would tell myself to delegate more to others and give them more space to grow and be successful and to know when to get out of their way and when to be there to support them.
• Lastly, I would tell myself to be sure to recognize and acknowledge all the amazing, dedicated and talented people I get to work with each and every day and recognize their incredible contributions.
The Architect 50
Congratulations to AIA Kansas City Firms making the list: DLR Group (#39 on Top 50), BNIM (#19 on Top 50), Helix Architecture + Design (Business List) and Populous (Design List). Additionally, AIA Kansas City member, Dan Maginn, FAIA, served on the Design Rankings Jury. Great representation Kansas City!
Every year, we approach the ARCHITECT 50 with the same premise. It may be impossible to capture every way in which a firm can excel, have a significant impact on its community, mentor a younger generation of designers, and help save the planet with its energy-efficient buildings. But we nevertheless strive to compile a list that recognizes firms small and large, who are making their mark beyond just their ability to run a financially lucrative business. This year, we added a few new data points, capturing information on how firms are helping their interns gain licensure, both through financial incentives and culture. And we asked firms to submit a portfolio with an energy-efficient project that best exemplified their commitment to sustainability (ARCHITECT editors judged those submissions). When we ran the numbers (check out our methodology here), some familiar firms rose to the top (Westlake Reed Leskosky), some newcomers rocketed into the top 10 (Studio Gang Architects), and some unexpected interlopers crashed the proceedings (Jones Studio). In the end, the exact positions may not capture the full extent of how firms are excelling. But we hope that the list inspires architects to review their own best practices and embrace even higher ambitions.

Monk walks around Fiji
By Geraldine Panapasa
Tuesday, August 25, 2009
Right: Bhaktimarga Swami walks along the road at Waila in Nausori as he continues his journey around the world on foot.
HARE Krishna monk Bhaktimarga Swami is on a personal mission and it involves walking up to thousands of kilometres around Fiji.
The Canadian national, who is also known as John Vis, started his journey from Toorak in Suva last week to Nadera and plans to continue his journey from Nausori to Navua.
"The walk is to inspire and encourage people to revert to pilgrimage lifestyle care free and car-free," he said.
"This is not my first trek around a country. I walked around Canada three times covering 7800 kilometres the first time.
"I've also trekked around Ireland and Guyana but this is the first time for me to come to Fiji for this reflective walk."
Bhaktimarga Swami is based in Toronto and says he is used to walking an average of 40 kilometres a day. He said walking has traditional roots that date back to years when monks used to go out for walks to reflect on their inner spirit. "Walking is not just a health tip, it's enriching inside. While walking, I continue with mantra meditation, chanting this mantra all the way. My intention is not to get too caught up in this world of machinery"
Bhaktimarga Swami hopes to complete his walk in a week.
He hopes. Along the way, I get to meet people and I get inspired by them also on my journey."
His aim is to walk from Suva to Lautoka, Vanua Levu and Taveuni.
He will be accompanied by Hare Krishna followers.

Winning Tournaments in a short time for Cricket 2004Home / Playstation 2 /
This page contains Cricket 2004 Hints for Playstation 2 called "Winning Tournaments in a short time" and has been posted or updated on Mar 12, 2007 by ajbergen. Let us know what you think of this Hint by thumbs voting.

- ESRB: Not Set
Winning Tournaments in a short time
Enter a tournament of your choice. After doing so, when you win a toss, take bowling first. Then, without bowling a bowl, select "Autoplay". Usually most of the time the target will be small, like 50 or 60. Sometimes it can be a big one but will not exceed 130. You can reach the total within 5 overs by hitting 6s. Doing so will have you win matches and thereby finish tournaments in a very short time. If you do not win a toss, put into batting first. Then, score about 80 runs in 4 overs then use "Autoplay". If you do not lose any wicket before autoplay, you will be successful in giving a reasonable target. After that, give autoplay when you go to ball. Your opponents will not be able to reach your target and you will get easy wins.

Rahul gets a new look
Rahul is thanking his wife. After all, she was the one who planned his look in Mainak Bahumik's Bedroom. Says the actor, "Priyanka took me to a parlour and decided the look.
Now I sport a goatee and a bandana. She is gaga over the new me and is loving all the adulation coming my way. If you ask me, personally, I was almost in tears to part with my much-loved beard.
Though I think I look more like a street Romeo, the positive feedbacks are proving me wrong. I am paired opposite Parno in Bedroom and shooting is a blast. Parno is my buddy. After Mohna, we are working again."Article continues

Myles' Weekend Adventures: Bonjour mon amis! Comment ca va? Myles Shaffer here. I don't think I had anything to open with. If I did, I've forgotten all about it; therefore, why don't we go straight to the discussion of gorgeous ladies? I agree, so let's do it!
Ashton Moore
Thursday, November 8Th, I went to the downtown Los Angeles Spearmint Rhino to spend the evening with Ashton Moore and to observe both of her shows of the evening.
For her first show, Ashton took the stage wearing a sky blue corselet with five one half inch wide white stripes in the front that ranged from vertical to slightly diagonal. It was also decorated with four good-sized white bows, one on the outside of each of her breasts, and one at the front of each of her hips. She also wore matching sky blue short-shorts with white trim. The corselet and the shorts appeared to be constructed of latex vinyl. Beneath these items, Ashton wore a pair of briefs-style white panties. To finish out this costume, she wore a pair of knee-high, white, platform-soled, high-heeled, boots.
Ashton performed this show to rock music that I didn't pay too much attention to. What?! Give me a break. I was busy watching Ashton!
During Ashton's second show, she wore a black corselet and also black bell- bottomed pants, both of which were decorated with orange and yellow flames and were made of latex vinyl. Beneath all this, Ashton wore a pair of black bikini panties. To complete this costume, Ashton wore a pair of black, knee-length, high-heeled, platform-soled boots.
Ashton opened this show with Marilyn Manson's, "The Beautiful People," followed by Buckcherry's, "Crazy Bitch," and Hinder's, "Lips of an Angel." (See, I do pay attention some of the time. So there!)
Not only is Ashton Moore a good feature dancer, but she is a beautiful lady with a great looking body! She also has the most gorgeous eyes! I've never really known just exactly what is meant by the term, "Bedroom eyes." However, I strongly suspect it might have been a reference to Ashton's eyes all along. Trust me, if she wanted to, Ashton could easily seduce a man with a sexy look! Of course, most of we men are easily seduced, but Ashton could do it more quickly than a lot of women could.
Ashton is also an intelligent, well spoken lady with a very good sense of humor, and she enjoys meeting and chatting with her fans.
Don't ever pass up an opportunity to get out to a nearby club to see Ashton perform and to meet her in person. She will not disappoint!
Pay Ashton a visit at: AshtonMoore.com
Nikki Benz
Friday afternoon, November 9Th, I drove up to the Van Nuys Spearmint Rhino to spend a little time with Nikki Benz and to observe her matinee show.
For her matinee show, Nikki wore a black, latex vinyl, halter-style top trimmed with thin red lines and a small red cross on the front of each breast cup. She also wore a black, latex vinyl, very small mini-skirt also trimmed with thin red lines and a small red cross at the front of each hip area. Beneath this items, Nikki was nude with the exception of a black, latex vinyl, thong with red trim and a small red cross in the front. On her legs were a pair of mid-thigh length black fishnet hose. For footwear, Nikki wore a pair of red, knee-high, platform- soled, stiletto-heeled boots. Additionally, Nikki wore a wide wristband on each wrist. (if I remember correctly, the wristbands were red.)
After the show, while chatting with Nikki, she thanked me for all the nice things I've said about her in past reviews. She then very gently and quite diplomatically aired one little problem she had. She pointed out that I seem to have a habit of saying that she has danced to rock music. Nikki then informed me that she never dances to rock music, and that she dances to hip hop music exclusively.
Thank you Nikki. I do stand corrected, and I'll try to never make that mistake again. I can only ask you to forgive a fool who is a great fan of country, Cajun, and Zydeco music and therefore is not up on today's various pop music genres.
Nikki Benz is a lovely lady with a great all around personality! And, she likes to meet and chat with her fans. She also enjoys a good laugh, and a good conversation.
Nikki is also a good feature, and I don't think anybody could go wrong in getting out to a nearby club to see her perform and to meet her in person. I'm certain the experience will be well worth the time and effort.

Alexis Amore
Friday evening, I drove out to the Rialto Spearmint Rhino to spend some time with Alexis Amore, "The Peruvian Princess," and to observe her first two shows of the evening.
For her first show, Alexis wore what would have made a great looking pink evening gown. However, contrary to the average evening gown, this dress was slit all the way up to her waist on both sides. Alexis also wore a wide armband on both of her upper arms. The armbands were encrusted with stones that looked and sparkled like diamonds. Beneath the gown, Alexis wore a pink G-string tied in bows on each hip. Additionally, she wore a gold waist chain that was encrusted with diamond-like stones in an area about three inches long and about one inch wide in the front. Alexis also wore an ankle bracelet that matched the two armbands. For footwear, she wore a pair of clear plastic, stiletto-heeled, platform-soled shoes.
Alexis opened this show to Madonna's, "Material Girl," then followed it up with various rap and hip hop numbers.
For her second show of the evening, Alexis performed her bridal show. For this show, she wore a small, white, lace, bridal veil attached to the back of her hair. She also wore a very sexy version of a white bridal gown. Beneath the gown, Alexis wore a white G-string. During this show, Alexis also wore the same ankle bracelet and the same shoes that she wore during her first show, and for good reason. Both the bracelet and the shoes worked perfectly with this costume!
I will now have to apologize to the readers. During this show, in addition to watching Alexis perform, I had a couple of other constant distractions going on. The distractions were enough to cause me to not pay attention to the music. However, I think it was rap and/or hip hop.
Alexis Amore is an intelligent, good-looking, very sexy lady. She is also very well spoken and has a terrific sense of humor. Plus, she loves to meet and chat with her fans.
Alexis does a very good job on stage, and her interaction with the denizens of the tip rail is also very good.
If anybody happens to learn that Alexis Amore will be featuring at a nearby club, they should by all means make plans to go see her perform and to meet her in person. I can't see how anybody could possibly be disappointed with the experience!
Take a good look at Alexis at: ClubAlexis.com
And that, good people, brings us to a close once again. Let us all meet back here the next time to continue the discussion of sexy women. Until then, everybody stay safe, have a great week, and live life as if there were no tomorrow! And a Happy Thanksgiving to everybody!

In this photo released by Mike Laiti, Anuson "Knott" Poolsawat, owner of Knott's Take Out in North Pole, walks across Clear Creek with an order of take out food to reach Laiti and Brandon Borgens, two customers stranded along the Richardson Highway, on Saturday, June 21, 2014, near Salcha, Alaska.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska (Associated Press) -- A little thing like a flooded creek was not enough to keep an Alaska restaurant owner from delivering Thai ribs and fried rice to stranded customers over the weekend.
Anuson "Knott" Poolsawat, owner of Knott's Take Out in North Pole, forded the swollen waters of Clear Creek to reach two customers stuck along the Richardson Highway, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported.
Mike Laiti and Brandon Borgens were completing a multi-day drive Saturday night up the Alaska Highway when they called in their order to the restaurant, which was near closing.
As they approached Clear Creek, they learned a sinkhole had developed from heavy rain near the creek. The state Department of Transportation closed the bridge.
Laiti called Poolsawat to cancel their order at the restaurant more than 25 miles away in North Pole.
"I called him and said, 'Hey man, I can't make it,' and he said, 'Not a problem, I'll come cross the waters,'" Laiti said. "He called me and said, 'Should I bring a boat?'"
Poolsawat arrived with takeout boxes containing Thai barbecue ribs and Thai fried rice. Another box held a "dinosaur egg" - a hardboiled egg that's fried and covered in a sweet sesame sauce.
Poolsawat hiked up his shorts and waded through the creek, holding the takeout boxes over his head. The cold water was hip-deep.
Poolsawat had already done them a favor by staying open late, Laiti said. The delivery was beyond expectations.
"He'd help anybody out. He's just a really good positive attitude, just a good guy," said Laiti. "He's definitely a goofball character and the food he makes is great."

Daniel Blackman, BSILR '13, Applies His Studies in ILR to Worldwide Issues in Botswana
This winter break I traveled to Botswana to represent Cornell at the World University Debating Championships. World's is the largest intercollegiate debate tournament, featuring teams from over 40 countries, and one of the largest student events in the world. The event is held in British Parliamentary format and features 4 teams debating in 9 preliminary rounds. The topics center on current events and social issues and are announced just 15 minutes before the start of each debate.
World's offered me the chance to debate against schools in Ireland, Japan, Singapore, Jamaica, Turkey, England, Australia and Lesotho. In each of these rounds I gained a greater appreciation for the distinct experiences of varying countries and how it shaped the arguments presented. Having always debated against North American teams, facing competitors who had unique historical backgrounds and political views proved an interesting challenge. I was also able to learn about events and issues that rarely get discussed in America. From a Lesotho team I learned of the experience of white settlement in Southern African and from an Australian debater I discovered the challenges in addressing racism towards Aboriginals.
Perhaps most interesting was the chance to interact with these students outside of the competition. Before leaving for Africa, most of my friends predicted that it would be an eye-opening experience. Truth be told, the students I met and interacted with, whether studying in Croatia or Namibia, proved remarkably similar to myself in terms of outlook and their experiences. While diversity was certainly present, it was the underlining similarities that proved most striking.
My debate rounds allowed me to apply what I have been learning at ILR to current and controversial issues. I was even lucky enough to get a topic on teachers unions (for which I knew far more than any of my opponents). So often in a classroom, it can be hard to see the forest through the trees. While we learn theories on race and inequality or organizational behavior, it can be challenging to understand how this has real world implications. But each debate round drew new connections between global issues and my classroom studies.
My time in Botswana was not without competitive success either. In addition to the general debate competition, I competed in Public Speaking advancing to the final round and earning for Cornell a 3rd place finish in the world. I am grateful to ILR and the International Programs Office for giving me this wonderful opportunity to travel, meet and compete against students from all over the globe. Getting to escape the Ithaca weather and arguing in the process was an amazing way to spend my winter break.

KLA-Tencor Announces New ES805™ Electron-Beam Inspection System
MILPITAS, Calif., Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today KLA-Tencor Corporation (NASDAQ: KLAC) announced the eS805 ™, a new electron-beam inspection system for leading-edge chip manufacturers. Benefiting from more than twenty years of KLA-Tencor's e-beam inspection development and manufacturing expertise, the eS805 offers strong capability in detection of very small defects and defects that cause electrical problems in the integrated circuit, such as opens, shorts or reliability issues. The eS805 is also designed to provide supplementary information to the fab's optical inspection systems, with the goal of boosting the ability of the optical inspectors to preferentially capture defects that matter.
"As our customers move toward single-digit nanometer design rules, they will need unprecedented sensitivity to defects of interest—while sampling enough of the wafer to catch a defect excursion," said Bobby Bell, executive vice president of KLA-Tencor's Wafer Inspection Group. "We believe that optical inspection will continue as the dominant defect inspection approach; its speed is essential for adequate wafer coverage, and our engineers have demonstrated some impressive ideas for stretching optical sensitivity to meet our customers' anticipated requirements. Electron-beam inspection will continue to complement optical inspection as needed, and we are continuing to innovate within our e-beam product lines for speed, application breadth and novel methodologies. The new eS805 represents a significant step forward in KLA-Tencor's continually evolving e-beam/optical defect solution, a valuable addition to our industry-leading optical defect inspection/e-beam review portfolio."
The high performance of the new eS805 is driven by the following advances:
- New image computer, new auto-focus subsystem, and higher beam current densities than other commercially available systems, enabling detection of buried electrical defects in "voltage contrast" ("VC") mode over relatively large areas of the die;
- Architecture designed to elicit significant signal from defects hidden at the bottom of high aspect ratio (HAR) structures such as FinFETs and 3D flash; and
- Advanced algorithms that, together with the new image computer and auto-focus system, enable efficient capture of small defects within non-periodic structures, such as logic areas of the cell.
The eS805 is upgradeable from any previous eS3x or eS8xx-series e-beam inspection system, an approach that helps protect a fab's capital investment.

All right, so the Republicans have had better years. But don't forget their secret weapon. Not an ABM, MIRV, or MX. An MPA: the Marriage Protection Amendment, precision-targeted on same-sex marriage and, through it, the Republican base.
The MPA would amend the U.S. Constitution to forbid gay couples to marry. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., says he will bring the amendment up during the week of June 5. It has zero chance of passing by the required 67-vote majority, as Frist knows. In 2004, the amendment garnered only 48 Senate votes, and the Human Rights Campaign, a gay-rights group, figures it will get only about 52 votes this year.
So why bother? Consider Virginia, where in 2004 the Republican-controlled Legislature hit on the promising formula of passing both a whopping tax increase and a gratuitously vindictive anti-gay-marriage law. (The so-called Marriage Affirmation Act outlawed not only gay marriage and civil unions, but also private contracts between same-sex individuals seeking to replicate marital arrangements.) Lyndon Johnson once said, "Hell, give [a man] somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." The Virginia formula was in that vein: Knock the gays hard enough, and maybe conservatives wouldn't notice the tax hike.
In Virginia, the moral-values credit card seemed to have maxed out in 2005; Democrats held the governorship. Nationally, many conservative voters seem to have noticed that the same Republican politicians who are trotting out the marriage amendment have also spent up a storm, created the biggest new entitlement program since LBJ's Great Society, riddled the budget with earmarks, and approved unprecedented restraints on political activity.
Whatever its political merits, the MPA remains as unwise substantively as when it first came up in 2004. Since then, moreover, the case for its necessity has disintegrated.
The question posed by the marriage amendment is not just whether gay marriage is a good idea, but who should decide—the states or the federal government? From its debut in 2001, the marriage amendment was misleadingly advertised as a restriction on activist courts. In truth, the amendment would strip the power to adopt same-sex marriage not only from judges but from all 50 states' legislators, governors, and electorates.
Defining and regulating marriage has been within states' purview since colonial times. (Utah was required to ban polygamy while it was still a federal territory. On the few occasions when the U.S. Supreme Court has intervened, it has curtailed states' powers to restrict marriage rights, not imposed a definition.)
Why should the federal government usurp the states' authority over marriage? Amendment supporters have insisted that gay marriage anywhere would soon spread everywhere. How, they demanded, could one state have a separate definition of marriage without creating chaos? Unless the federal government stepped in, they said, one or two states would impose same-sex marriage on all the rest.
Actually, states have defined marriage differently for most of the country's history. Until the 1960s, mixed-race marriages were recognized in some states but not others. That each state is entitled to regulate marriage in accord with its public policy views is established legal precedent; otherwise Maryland, say, could start marrying 10-year-olds and every other state would be obliged to go along—an absurdity. Moreover, in 1996 Congress passed the Defense of Marriage Act, which explicitly relieved the states of any obligation to recognize other states' same-sex marriages.
Federal-amendment proponents have claimed that the Supreme Court might strike down DOMA. That argument, already weak on the law (DOMA is almost certainly constitutional), is even weaker now that President Bush's two Supreme Court appointments, Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito, have solidified the Court's conservative majority. Would-be amenders are now reduced to claiming that the Constitution should be revised to pre-empt a hypothetical ruling by a future Supreme Court. On this prophylactic theory of constitutional jurisprudence, it is hard to imagine what amendment might not be in order.
So far, DOMA has stood up. The country's most liberal federal appeals court, the California-based 9th Circuit, saw off a challenge to DOMA just this month. Meanwhile, for more than two years Massachusetts has been marrying same-sex couples, including couples who travel and move outside the state. Spot the chaos? The wholesale legal confusion?

MasterCard Launches Center To Drive Inclusive Growth Around The World
MasterCard today announced the launch of the MasterCard Center for Inclusive Growth. The Center will conduct and support academic research and provide strategic philanthropic investments that further sustainable and equitable economic growth and financial inclusion around the world.
More than a billion people live in extreme poverty, and 2.5 billion adults lack access to formal financial services. While progress is being made, inclusive growth can be the difference, especially for emerging markets, between a volatile economy and one that's sustainable and sensible in its growth over time.
"MasterCard is launching the Center to provide a focus on delivering the research and philanthropic investments necessary to advance inclusive growth," said Walt Macnee, Vice Chairman of MasterCard. "With more people from more countries participating in the global economy than even before, MasterCard believes that inclusive growth is key for economic and social progress."
Recognizing that timely, high-quality and relevant information is critical to sound decision-making, the Center will work with government agencies, academic institutions, non-profits, foundations and private corporations to create and curate relevant knowledge assets and convene a global knowledge network.As a first step, the Center has created an Academic Advisory Council comprised of thought leaders and innovative thinkers on economic growth and financial inclusion from around the world. Serving as Senior Fellows, they provide strategic counsel and inform the Center's annual research agenda. The Center's Senior Fellows include:
- Fan Gang
- Robert Lawrence
- Guntram Wolff
- Martyn Davies
- Ricardo Hausmann
- Suman Bery
- In Myanmar, with Mercy Corps' "Kompanion Myanmar", a new microfinance institution which will deliver holistic services to small business, with a special emphasis on women and youth;
- In Nigeria, with The ASSETS program which will complement Mercy Corps' Educating Nigerian Girls In New Enterprises(ENGINE) program by furthering girls' access to and ability to manage economic assets; and
- In the United States, with Habitat for Humanity's Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative Work/Live Project which develops space for functional home-based businesses, increasing employment and income opportunities for low income families.
