IGT Agrees to Takeover by Gtech
NEW YORK (The Deal) -- Italy's Gtech has agreed to pay $6.4 billion for Las Vegas's International Game Technology (IGT - Get Report), striking a takeover that will combine the world's largest lotteries operator with the No. 1 maker of slot machines.
Gtech said on Wednesday, July 16, it will offer $13.69 in cash and 0.1819 of a share, equivalent to $18.25, for each IGT share. That's about 18% higher than IGT's Tuesday closing price of $15.50. The bid values the Nevada-based target's equity at $4.7 billion and will include about $1.7 billion of assumed debt.
The offer is the second $1 billion-plus, cross-border deal in the gaming sector this month following Australia's Aristocrat Leisure's July 7 agreement to pay $1.28 billion for Video Gaming Technogies Inc. Gaming companies are under pressure to increase scale to cope with increasing competition and an enduring decline in revenue triggered by last decade's financial crisis.
Spending by U.S. gamblers is likely to fall by between 3% and 5% over the next 12 to 18 months "causing overall industry Ebit to decline between 4.5% and 7.5%," Moody's Investors' Service's Keith Foley noted at the end of June.
The combination of Gtech and IGT will create a player with "superior financial strength, with over $6 billion in revenues and more than $2 billion in Ebitda," Gtech CEO Marco Sala told analysts on a call on Wednesday. The deal is expected to result in about $280 million of cost savings and other synergies and will be immediately accretive to earnings. Gtech's bid values IGT at an enterprise value equal to about 8.7 times Ebitda, falling to about 6.3 times Ebitda including expected cost savings arising from the combination of the two companies. That is broadly in line with the 8.2 times Ebitda that Aristocrat agreed to pay for VGT.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Rick and Justin Whittington approached the Lake Irving boat access Saturday morning not expecting to find a parking space. They were worried for nothing as parking was pretty plentiful at the boat landing near the Wastewater Treatment Facility. Whether it was caused by the late ice-out or wet, cold conditions Saturday, Rick Whittington said the number of anglers was down Saturday morning. "There's usually 40-50 boats out here," he said, motioning to the dozen or so boaters on Lake Irving Saturday afternoon.
While anglers from the southern parts of the state might choose to delay a planned fishing trip to the area for a few weeks due to the late ice-out, the DNR expects that many local anglers will find their way to open water for today's 2008 fishing opener. "Local folks who are familiar, who know the area, will find places to go," said Gary Barnard, area fisheries supervisor with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
Jay Allen Lutgen, 20, of Bemidji, has pleaded guilty via an Alford Plea to third-degree criminal sexual conduct by force or coercion, a serious felony. The charge was amended from first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a victim under the age of 13, also a serious felony.
Environmental work The City Council considered an agreement with Widseth Smith Nolting in which WSN would continue investigating a former oil tank leak site in the railroad corridor downtown.
The Bemidji City Council unanimously voted on Monday to expand the city's industrial park. The industrial park is proposed to expand south of Carr Lake Road Southeast and east of the North Central Door property, adding 68 acres to the Bemidji Industrial Park and create 38 industrial-use lots. The project will include construction of sanitary sewer, water main and roads. The industrial park, which was originally developed in 1974, currently contains more than 175 acres and houses 48 businesses, which employ more than 1,100 people.
The Bemidji City Council will want to be equipped with the best information possible in preparation for making decisions regarding development along the south shore of Lake Bemidji, said City Attorney Al Felix on Monday. Because of that, he urged the council to retain a consultant who would provide the city with estimates about the value of the land involved in the redevelopment. Gary Battuello of Ramsland and Vigen out of Duluth, Minn., has capped his costs at $6,500 to provide valuation estimates to the city, according to council documents.
The Bemidji City Council on Monday is expected to consider authorizing plans to expand the city's industrial park. The industrial park expansion plans would add 68 acres to the Bemidji Industrial Park and would include construction of sanitary sewer, water main and roads, according to a staff report from City Engineer Craig Gray. The estimated total cost is $2.7 million, Gray reported. The city and Bemidji Development Corporation obtained a $1.2 million from the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration.
Forward planning is paying off for the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Potential archeological findings recently were uncovered during roadwork and utility improvements along Bemidji Avenue North, according to Todd Vonasek, resident engineer with the Minnesota Department of Transportation. But, MnDOT had planned for such a possibility and earlier had retained an archeological consultant, who was on site when the items were recovered. Thanks to strong support from Bemidji State University, it was quickly determined that the items recovered were not human remains, Vonasek said during
A resident asserted on Thursday that seven minutes to get through the detour to downtown Bemidji was "unacceptable." Gary Bientz was among about 25 people who attended a weekly public information meeting about Bemidji Avenue roadwork Thursday morning at Bemidji City Hall. He said the city and Minnesota Department of Transportation have done little to improve the flow of traffic, asking why officers with the Bemidji Police Department were not stationed at the intersection to monitor and ticket illegal driving habits.
The main suspect in a November drive-by shooting has been sentenced. Jesus Thomas Ali, 21, of St. Paul, was sentenced Tuesday for his role in a Nov. 30 drive-by shooting at an occupied residence on the 19800 block of Plantation Road Southeast. Ali was convicted and sentenced for two felony charges stemming from the November incident.

I've tried Maxi, IGA and supermarche PA with no luck. Anyone know where I can find some?
Thanks in advance.
Have you asked at the store? It's a pretty common item. Check in the spices/vanilla section and if you don't see it, definitely ask.

Like kpzoo wrote, it's pretty common. My IGA has it and I see it all the time in grocery stores, always in the spice section.

as it been previously posted, a close relative of mine bought some at the grocery store about 2 weeks ago (metro if i remember well) it was either in the spices section or the cake/pastry section

Title: | Gradient Estimation for Stochastic Optimization of Optical Code-Division Multiple-Access Systems: Part I -- Generalized Sensitivity Analysis |
Author: | Mandayam, Narayan B.; Aazhang, Behnaam |
Type: | Journal article |
xmlui.Rice_ECE.Keywords: | Discrete-event simulations; frequency-encoded; OCDMA; infinitesimal perturbation analysis; likelihood ratio; method; time-encoded OCDMA |
Citation: | N. B. Mandayam and B. Aazhang, "Gradient Estimation for Stochastic Optimization of Optical Code-Division Multiple-Access Systems: Part I -- Generalized Sensitivity Analysis," IEEE Journal in Selected Areas in Communication, vol. 15, no. 4, pp. 731-741, 1997. |
Abstract: | For optimizing the performance of optical code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems, there is a need for determining the sensitivity of the bit-error rate (BER) of the system to various system parameters. Asymptotic approximations and bounds, used for system bit-error probabilities, seldom capture the sensitivities of the system performance. We develop single-run gradient estimation methods for such optical CDMA systems using a discrete-event dynamic systems (DEDS) approach. Specifically, computer-aided techniques such as infinitesimal perturbation analysis (IPA) and likelihood ratio (LR) methods are used for analyzing the sensitivity of the average BER to a wide class of system parameters. It is shown that the above formulation is equally applicable to time-encoded and frequency-encoded systems. Further, the estimates derived are unbiased, and also optimality of the variance of these estimates is shown via the theory of common random variates and importance sampling techniques. |

Ruby-red core, with garnet hues and an intense, full, ethereal and very persistent bouquet. The palate is harmonious, with hints of wild cherry and fruits of the forest.
Intense ruby core with a garnet rim. Elegant nose with black fruits, leather and sweet spice followed by a balanced palate and a very long, seductive, finish.
Aromas of dark cherry, plum, and spice are complemented by great mid palate texture, silky tannis and bright acid core.
Violet red colour. Intense notes of blackcurrant red, plum, raspberry, black cherry and spice. Fresh with a good balance between acidity, sweetness and sapidity.
Bonizio has a deep and intense colour, it has a complex aroma of Mediterranean herbs. It is complex but has an immediacy and charm that make it immensely attractive.
Deep brooding purple in colour with a vibrant nose of blackcurrant fruit, hints of liquorice and a touch of oak. The palate is full bodied but soft and juicy, packed with brambly briar fruit flavours, hints of spice and the oak makes a luxurious return on the finish.
Supple on the palate with good structure and substance, lifted by gorgeous red fruit and spicy notes.
Brilliant intense garnet colour. The wine displays the characteristic, ethereal and intense bouquet with notes reminiscent of violets and ripe fruit. Full-bodied, soft, velvety and persistent palate, in some ways austere but harmonious and pleasant at the same time.
Cooler years in McLaren Vale always lead to incredibly expressive and highly varietal Cabernets.
The High Trellis is no exception with an abundance of blackcurrant, violets and minty notes leaping from the glass.
Beautiful bright purple fruits dominate the palate, countered by typical Cabernet characters such as red capsicum skin and fresh mint.
The wine feels quite linear at this stage of its development and the combination of fruit and fine chalky tannins seems to go on and on endlessly.
A wine that can be savoured now or allowed to develop for the next five to 10 years. -
Classic Pinotage aromas of spicy mulberries, plum pudding and cherries, with more subtle hints of smoky bacon. Juicy and accessible with a soft palate and delicious fruit concentration.

Caught in the Crossfire
In a ritual as predictable as hunting season, it's another election year and people are once again gunning for the NRA. Only this time the powerful gun-rights group and "bête noire" of the left is taking friendly fire -- from activists on the right who are growing increasingly impatient with the NRA for taking stands at odds with the rest of the conservative movement. Where do you stand on this issue? http://www.gunmerchantaccount.com |
greg az |
I'm missing you buddy.. what stand is the NRA taking that is out of step with the majority of conservatives.. I thought they were doing a good job of supporting both the "tea party" and the base of the GOP..Fill me in on this please.. a man has to hold his word, hold his beliefs, and hold a good sight picture. |
ecaman |
The NRA has given Harry Reid a good rating because of his various stances supporting gun ranges, etc. There's a movement now to encourage people to drop out of the NRA because of this. The leaders of the movement (a very intense group, it seems) say that the NRA should not be a single issue group, but should back all "conservative" positions, and all conservative candidates. From what I've read (and it's been quite a bit), the leaders of the movement would seem to support Tea Party candidates, and strictly Christian conservative viewpoints. If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man. (Mark Twain).
greg az |
ah yes ...a senior moment, as always thanks Ecaman..
Tracer i had forgotten (was a tad distracted during this period) we had a gentleman who came in here about 6 weeks or so who brought us up to speed on this.. (sheesh how could i forget) Herk right... I don't think Reed is going to garner many (if any) conservative votes.. and some serious question remain about the wisdom of supporting Reed period.. The NRA does such great work. the whole issue was a surprise to me.. a man has to hold his word, hold his beliefs, and hold a good sight picture. |

Elizabeth (Guru Ma) died in October, she was 70. She and Mark Prophet also founded Montessori International. If you had ever met her, you would think she was a sweet old lady. The church still owns the 12,000 acres in Montana.
Does anyone else smell trolls?
Anarchy for anarchy's sake is the philosophy of the mindless.
I got a big question is it still legal to go to Montana and fence off 60 some odd acres and live on it for 7 year's?

Targeting the histone methylome as a therapeutic strategy has quickly captured the interest of developers worldwide, due to the genetic and over-expression abnormalities displayed in a variety of human cancers, as well as the chemically tractable nature of modifying enzymes. Adding to the more established series of histone methyltransferase targets, histone demethylases of both JmjC and CoREST domains have also advanced into clinical development and are now showing favorable clinical outcomes. Notably, a surge of interest and success in developing inhibitors against arginine methyltranslferase enzymes has substantially deepened the possibilities of regulating chromatin environments via histone methylation, and thereby expanding this already robust target space.
Cambridge Healthtech Institute will once again convene leaders in epigenetic drug development to further our understanding of the role aberrant histone methylation plays in disease, to evaluate lead and clinical compounds by developers, and to introduce novel chemical matter for further development.
Who should attend: Executives, Directors, Managers, Group Leaders and Senior Scientists from Pharma, Biotechs, Academia, Government and Healthcare Organizations working in fields such as Drug Discovery, Pre-Clinical Research and Development, Molecular/Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Chemical Genomics/Biology, Structural Biology, Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmacology and Synthetic Chemistry.
Topics will include, but are not limited to:

Wedding Car Trivia:WHY IT BECAME "BAD LUCK" FOR THE GROOM TO SEE BRIDE BEFORE THE CEREMONYUntil relatively recently, brides were considered the property of their father. Their futures and husbands were arranged without their consent. The marriage of an unattractive woman was often arranged with a prospective groom from another town without either of them having ever seen their prospective spouse. In more than one instance, when the groom saw his future wife, usually dressed in white, for the first time on the day of the wedding, he changed his mind and left the bride at the altar. To prevent this from happening, it became "bad luck" for the groom to see the bride on the day of the wedding prior to the ceremony.

We recently returned from celebrating a special anniversary. Peter Island Resort, BVI is spectacular. It is as if everyone involved wants you to relax and enjoy yourself. We stayed in a Beachfront Jr. Suite. Spacious, with a beautiful view of Deadman and Little Deadman's Beaches, and our own balcony. 5 beaches are available. Read up on your choices and schedule what you want to do as soon as you arrive or even before you arrive. White Bay Beach has 6 huts you reserve, lunch will be delivered if ordered the day before. Honeymoon Beach is rocky and not to everyone's liking, but it is for just 2 people so that was cool. We also did a day snorkel with Patouche Charters, arranged by the folks at Peter Island. Travel up to Sunset Loop with your cheese and wine and watch the sunset.
We did not have any spa services but heard from several folks they were some of the best ever. We did participate in a Core class with a visiting traineer, Analise and her husband Nick. They are from Vancouver and were great! Analise spoke to each participant to make sure everyone worked out at their own comfort level. (Amazing how you can distract yourself with the gorgeous view!)
The people are what stand out most at this place. Every single staff person we interacted with was pleasant, smiling and only wanted to please. I overheard a few complainers that the staff handled flawlessly. Polite and only wanting the guest to be satisified. Monica, Denise and Marsha at the desk are on top of everything there! Mike, Colin and Nickie seemed to be the gentlemen that made sure we all got to anywhere we wanted to be! The Food and Beverage director, Rimple is an amazing asset to this place. He has an incredible knowledge of wine and food and hosts a wine dinner once a week which was terrific. Besides that is he is just plain fun. (My only "complaint" was he should do it 3 times a week as it was where we met some great, fun folks we would have liked to have spent more time with!) Raj and Claudette are top notch wait staff as is everyone there, including the famous Miss Jean. Susan on Deadman's Beach should become a familiar, smiling face as she will bring you food and cocktails all day long! Have her bring you the Peter Island Special!
We loved this place. Guests range in age, some folks return year after year. I probably would say it is best for couples, though I am sure they would accomodate children. We saw a few, but not sure if they were visiting from the boats or overnight guests.
The worst thing about Peter Island is seeing it disappear from site on your departing ferry!

I've been to the BVI several times. Always on a sailboat though. The BVI are arguably THE best place to spend a sailing vacation.
Sailing from island to island and anchoring in a bay for the night is a great vacation. Why limit yourself to just one island? Next time try a charter boat with or without crew as needed.
For my money, staying in any hotel in the BVI, however nice that hotel might be, is missing out on the best thing about the BVIs. It is a cruising paradise.
An analogy would be a box of chocolates and you only got to pick one when there were more than 40 in the box to choose from.
Any night is a great night out at 'Foxy's Bar on Jost Van Dyke island. Sailors around the world know Foxy. On New Year's Eve you can practically way ashore from deck to deck for the party.
At the west end of Tortola island (the largest island) you find Soper's Hole. A great little harbour and Pusser's Landing which is a restaurant (one of several) owned by Pusser's Rum.
In the old days, the British Navy used to load up their rum from Pussers for the sail back to England. Pusser's is still the official British Navy Rum today. Whether all hands get a measure each per day or not, I don't know.
If you have a full dinner at Pusser's Landing, for every 2 diners, they put a full bottle of Pusser's Rum on the table. Don't worry, you don't have to drink it all, you can take what's left back to your boat.
No one should visit the BVI without visiting 'The Baths' on Virgin Gorda. The best way to visit of course is to sail in, drop anchor and swim ashore.
Norman Island is Treasure Island. https://www.google.ca/#q=norman+island+treasure+island
In quite a few of the bays of the islands, you will find beach bar/restaurants that are pretty much only accessible by boat. Or try Willy T's which is not only accessible only by boat but is a boat! Where else can you dive from a restaurant and swim to your boat?
The BVIs are a great place to vacation. Just remember they are a GROUP of islands, far more than just one. -

Thank you january89 for your lovely report on Peter Island Resort. We've often thought of going there but so far we haven't made it.
And thank you also dulciusexasperis for the information on sailing around the BVI's. That is something I would love to do but alas there is no way as I get seasick. The best we can do is to hire a boat for the day and visit some neighboring islands, which we'll be doing in a couple of weeks.
You can find Pusser's painkiller recipe online…. -

I agree the BVI's are beautiful. During our charter snorkel day we snorkeled Cooper Island and of course the Baths at Virgin Gorda. Captain Joe did "drop anchor" and we all swam ashore and it was great. We have talked of chartering a boat for a few days. This trip was the first vacation where I have ever just totally checked out and relaxed. I did no cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. It was perfect and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to indulge. We did not have a Painkiller but after 1.5 Peter Islands Special Cocktail, I did have a very long nap!

Check out http://www.Broodening.com for more parodies.

After seeing the movie "Twilight," I felt the need to write a parody highlighting the vast number of plot holes and blatant disregard for even the most basic, common-knowledge traits of vampires.
This is my version of how it should have been.
Credit for the screencaps goes to http://dieseled.livejourn al.com
**edit** I'm flattered being on the front page - thanks for that, and for watching!
If you enjoyed this parody, check out the other things I've done on my website, http://www.NathanielJones .com
The number of comments on here is far greater than I can respond to individually, so I'll just say "thanks" to those of you who are saying nice things, and "psh" to those of you who aren't.
For those of you who hate this video, watch its sequel, "Twilight: The Broodening SUCKS, and Nathaniel Jones Sucks for Writing It" instead. It's totally unsarcastic, I promise.
the childlike mormonism overtones in the movies and books are hilariously played up and made even more obvious in this. Good job.
Lol! Love Bella and Edward's voices, Bella sounds so annoying, and Edward is v. condescending. Funny as!

text: SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS (An UGC – SAP Supported Department) National Seminar On NATURAL RESOURCES AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT January 14-15, 2011 Dr. Ganesh Kawadia Professor and Head Coordinator, UGC-SAP (Phase-II) firstname.lastname@example.com Organized by School Of Economics, Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya Takshashila Campus, Khandwa Road, Indore - 452001 National Seminar On NATURAL RESOURCES AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Dear Sir/Madam, We are pleased to inform that School of Economics is organizing a two days National Seminar on "Natural Resources and Economic Development" on 14-15 January, 2011 for the academic enrichment of faculties of various institutions, college teachers, NGO"s, Research Scholars etc. This National Seminar is aimed at providing a forum for new ideas along with interactions and deliberations on possible issues relating to Recourse led Economic Development. It is organized under UGC- Special Assistance Programme (Phase-II) in the Department. The Background When the modern theories of economic growth first began to be developed in the 1950s and 1960s, Natural Resources and the Environment essentially were absent. Economic output flows and rates of output growth were assumed to depend on the application of services provided by capital and Labour. Later on, technology was added to capital and labour as an input to the growth process. But the role of natural resources and environment as valuable inputs to the growth process still remained outside of growth theory at that time. Starting of late 1970s, awareness of the Environment and Natural Resources as a determining factor affecting growth became more widely recognized. In the late 1970s, the development economists began seriously rethinking the neo-classical growth model because of the reallocation that economic growths would be incomplete without reference to the environmental components. Over the time, theories of growth with various kinds of Natural Resource inputs and Environmental implications got fairly well developed. In 1990s and afterwards, the economists started recognizing that along with physical and human capital, Environmental Resources should be viewed as important assets which can be called Natural Capital. In recent times, three important debates have emerged over the role of Natural Capital in Economic Development. Firstly, does the environment have an essential role in sustaining economic development and if so, to what extent, future economic development would be influenced by the depletion of Natural Resource in present times? The second issue of debate is about the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) which presents an "Inverted U-shaped" relationship between resource depletion and level of per capita income. Does the existence of such EKC relationship suggest that environmental degradation of natural resources will eventually decline with growth? Finally, a recent paradox concerning the role of natural resources in economic development: if natural capital is important for sustainable development, why is the economic performance of many resource abundant developing countries lagging behind that of comparatively resource poor countries? A phenomenon called "Resource Curse" has gained recognition in the economic circles which means countries with large endowment of resources lag behind countries less endowed with resources in terms of economic development and governance. Various studies suggest that there exists a negative relationship between resource abundance and economic growth. 19th and 20th centuries saw Switzerland and Japan surge ahead of resource-intensive economies like Russia. In the past 43 years, the resource-poor Newly Industrialized Economies of East Asia- Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore have touched the heights of economic development while many resource-rich economies such as oil-rich countries of Mexico, Nigeria, Venezuela have gone bankrupt. Talking of developing countries like India having a profound agrarian base, have managed to record a higher and consistent growth-rate than their other resource-rich counterparts, emerging as super economic powers in the international arena. Has the Ricardian Theory of Comparative Advantage lost its sheen in today"s times when the world economy has shrunk into a global village and being bestowed with natural and human resource abundance in itself is not a passport to economic development? In recent times economists have had mixed opinions regarding the flow of exports in resource- based economies. Some of them relate it to macroeconomic policies rather than changing endowments; others are of the view that location of the countries i.e. being situated in the land- locked or coastal area affects the foreign-trade relation; still others are of the view that country- specific knowledge of technology, international terms of trade, factor movements and institutional policy changes and some feel that it is the kind of resources that the country is endowed with that determines growth patterns in the resource-based exports. This Seminar on "Natural Resources and Economic Development" aims to explore reasons responsible for economic growth/stagnation in resource-rich economies when they can exploit economies of scale despite having a competitive edge of resource abundance over their resource- scarce counterparts. Is it the performance of resource abundant nations or the misguiding economic policies that has envisaged the term "Resource Curse"? Similarly, how resource poor economies ensure their economic development in today"s perspective would also be a matter of great concern academicians and researchers in this seminar? Some of the important issues of the discussion would be- a) Availability and usage of Natural resources (Resource utilization v/s resource abundance. b) Natural resource Abundance and Economic Performance. c) Natural Resource utilization intensity and economic development in India. d) Economic Performance of resource-rich economies and resource poor economies. e) Export Performance and resource intensity f) Factors responsible for turning abundant resources to exportable goods g) Role of economic policies in the management of State"s Natural Resource Endowment h) Causes of slow growth of resource abundant countries i) Diversification v/s specialization as a tool of economic development. j) Role of human resources and technology in exploitation of Natural Resources. k) Utilization of Natural Resources and sustainability of growth. The authors who are interested to present a research paper in this seminar on the themes described above may submit an Abstract and a full paper of their research paper latest by 31 December 2010 through mail: email@example.com and also a hard copy of the paper may be sent to Dr. Kanhaiya Ahuja, Deputy Coordinator, UGC-SAP Programme on the address mentioned on the back along with duly filled registration form and a demand draft of Rs. 400/- (registration fee) in favour of "Co-ordinator SAP, Economics", Payable at Indore. The registration would consist of a kit, lunch and accommodation (a separate request should be made for accommodation). A declaration has to be made by the authors that the paper is original and has not been published / submitted for publication elsewhere. You are requested to circulate this among your faculty members so that they can also present a research paper in this seminar on the themes described above. The papers will be selected strictly according to the quality of paper. School of Economics will be happy to provide local hospitality and reimbursement maximum up to 3 class AC to and fro charges on the submission of a photocopy of the ticket to only those participants (only one author) whose paper gets accepted for presentation. We are also planning to publish a book comprising of selected quality papers. We would feel honoured to provide a copy of book to the main authors of the articles absolutely free. The interested candidates can get themselves registered. Looking forward for your positive response, Thanking you. Yours sincerely, Dr. Ganesh Kawadia Dr. Kanhaiya Ahuja Dr. P.K. Mishra Professor & Head, Coordinator & Convener Vice Chancellor Coordinator- UGC-SAP Deputy Coordinator-UGC-SAP DAVV, Indore INDORE – THE HEART OF MALWA Indore derives its name from the 18th century Indreshwar temple.

24 year old woman | Hyattsville, MD, USA | Seeking men 24-28 within 45 miles
Love the life you live
I am a University of Maryland graduate student in the School of music. I love to play the clarinet and love to teach music! I love to go to concerts whenever I get the chance. I love music, whether it be rock or classical. I love trying new foods and exploring new places. I have a twin sister who is also a music major, attending the number one music school in the country - she is very talented indeed! I miss her a lot and we talk every chance we get. She's my best friend and is always there for me. I am also blessed to have such an amazing mother in my life - she has and still does so much for me and for that, I am thankful and blessed. On match I will be looking for someone who is supportive of what I do and someone who has a positive outlook on life. I'm looking for someone with goals and isn't afraid to dream big! I am also looking for someone who enjoys all aspects of music and isn't afraid of having a good time in any circumstance. I want to date someone with similar views - someone who won't judge the fact that I like our president and that I have many LGBT friends (being a music major, you're kind of guaranteed to have gay friends...). I don't like to get into politics because I just do not see the point of argument - let's agree to disagree! My subscription just ended with match, and to be honest, I may be moving from this area back home to Texas after graduation this May, so I don't plan on subscribing again. If you realllyyyy want to talk to me (especially if I winked you or something) use your stalking skills and find me. But actual stalkers, beware...

Wes copied the title (as usual) so it's not his fault but it's silly to call it rationing when it's simply on store limiting how much people can buy. Heck, I have "Limit 4" or "Limit 10" items in my grocery store all the time. Real rationing means you can only get so much total.
I wont give you a chance to accuse me to distort the title ( as usual) So you don't like the title , you know what to do , accuse them , not me. (as usual) World food crisis hits home Costco seeing higher demand for staples http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/360096_foodshortage23.html

Who the fcuk wants to buy that much JASMINE rice anyway?! Yuck, hate that stuff. Just give me some minute rice thank you very much. (Yo momma so stupid it take her 2 hours to cook minute rice). Damn California and their fancy jasmine rice. Also you've got to love a story about rice "rationing" which includes video of the reporter standing next to palate upon palate full of huge sacs of rice. The "rationing" was stopping people from buying 30+ of those huge bags at once.
Do They Still Throw Rice At Weddings Mickey Rooney Said "He had Pockmarks On His Face" From Having So Much Rice Thrown At Him. (he was married 6 or 7 times) 12 million illegal aliens buying 100 lb bags of rice, result, rice shortage-
He said he knew you didn't write the headline so he wasn't busting on you. You immediately decided he was busting on you and went nuts. That tells me you didn't understand what he was saying.
Oh yeah, yo momma so fat her blood type is rocky road. (I remember that one from the nutty professor) I saw this on CNN today, and Caffery was talking about it like we were running out of food. This is so stupid. People are so stretching this to fit a paranoia, propoganda type hype.
Part Of Problem Is China Ceasing Exports Due To Weak Dollar http://wcbstv.com/topstories/rice.prices.costco.2.707121.html Guess who's gonna be blamed for this by the hungry World?
Just stop and think for a moment how stupid that sounds. Think about the thousands and thousands of tons of Chinese goods coming into this country on a daily basis--but rice is what they stop sending? Hmm. They could...raise the price?

US 6383935 B1 Abstract Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is known to cause dishing when the surface being planarized includes a wide trench partially filled with metal. This problem has been overcome by first filling the trench with a material whose polishing rate under CMP is similar to that of the metal in the trench. Spin-coating is used for this so that only the trench gets filled. After CMP, any residue of this material is removed, leaving behind a surface that has been planarized to the intended extent without the introduction of significant dishing and with minimum erosion of the metal.
Claims(16) 1. A process to reduce dishing during chemical mechanical polishing, comprising the steps of:
providing a structure that includes a substrate having an upper surface in which there is a depression within which there is a trench array having a depth;
depositing a layer of metal on said upper surface, including the trench array, to a thickness that is greater than said trench array depth;
by means of a spin-on technique, coating the metal layer with a layer of material that is different from said layer of metal and that has a polishing rate, for chemical mechanical polishing, that differs from that of said metal by no more than about 20%;
then subjecting the structure with said metal and said material formed thereon to chemical mechanical polishing whereby an amount of metal and material is removed; and

Description The invention relates to the general field of integrated circuits with particular reference to chemical mechanical polishing and avoidance of dishing problems. Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is widely used as a method for planarizing surfaces since the advancing etch front associated with CMP tends to be independent of both the topography and compositional variations within the surface being treated. However, since the pad used for the CMP is soft, it has a slight tendency to follow concavities with the result that, over time, dishing occurs over soft or open areas. Referring now to FIG. 1, we see there a substrate 11 whose upper surface includes a number of trenches or via holes such as 13. A temporary depression 12 has been formed and partially filled with metal layer 14. Sufficient metal was used to overfill the vias so that the surface 15 of the metal layer was about 2 microns above the floor of 12. FIG. 2 shows the same structure after conventional CMP according to the practices of the prior art. As intended, the thickness of the metal layer 14 has been reduced above all surfaces outside the trench. However, in addition, the metal surface 25 inside the trench has not been left entirely untouched, as was intended. Instead, some dishing has occurred together with some chemical erosion of the metal. The present invention discloses a solution to this problem that prevents dishing and erosion without affecting the main process. A routine search of the prior art was performed. The following references of interest were found: In U.S. Pat. No. 5,618,381, Doan et al. show a CMP process that uses a protective layer that polishes significantly more slowly than the metal being planarized. This causes material in the crests to be removed faster than material in the valleys, thereby enhancing planarization. Cheung, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,056,864, shows an ECD copper planarization process where the copper is wet etched or electrolytically etched and the subjected to CMP. In U.S. Pat. No. 5,885,900, Schwartz shows a global planarization process for conductive layers using a wet etch back step while Joshi et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 5,731,254) show using a CuGe hard cap during CMP. It has been an object of the present invention to provide a process for chemical mechanical polishing of a surface that includes a dense trench array filled with metal. Another object has been that said process lead to little or no dishing of the trenches. A further object has been that said process lead to little or no erosion of the metal in the trenches or of the surrounding oxide. These processes have been achieved by first covering the trenches with a material whose polishing rate under CMP is similar to that of the metal in the trenches. Spin-coating is used so that only the depression in which the trenches lie gets filled. After CMP, any residue of this material is removed leaving behind a surface that has been planarized to the intended extent without the introduction of significant dishing and with minimum erosion of the metal. FIG. 1 shows a substrate in whose upper surface is a trench array that has been over-filled with metal. FIG. 2 illustrates the result of performing CMP on the structure of FIG. 1 using processes of the prior art. FIG. 3 is the structure of FIG. 1 in which the metal has been covered with a sacrificial layer. FIG. 4 is the structure of FIG. 3 after partial CMP. FIG. 5 shows the appearance of the structure at the conclusion of the process of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a profile of a trench after CMP performed using prior art processes. FIG. 7 is a profile of a trench after CMP performed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention. The process of the present invention will be disclosed through a description of its application to planarizing a silicon integrated circuit having on its surface trenches that have been filled with copper, but it will be understood that the invention is more general than this and may be applied to planarizing any substrate on whose surface is an array of trenches and/or via holes that have been filled with a metal. Referring once more to FIG. 1, the process of the present invention begins with the provision of substrate 11 which could be a partially completed silicon integrated circuit. On its upper surface is temporary depression 12. An array of trenches and/or via holes, such as 13, that extend from the bottom of the depression down to some lower level within the integrated circuit, is then formed. Said array has a trench density ([cumulative trench width]/[total array width]) in excess of about 90%. A layer 14 of metal such as copper is then deposited on all exposed surfaces to a thickness that is sufficient to over-fill the via holes. Other materials that could be used in the general case include tungsten, aluminum, silver, gold and silicon oxide. Note that when copper is the metal of choice a preferred method for its deposition is to first deposit a conductive seed layer and to then build up the copper layer by means of electroplating. Now follows a key feature of the invention which is illustrated in FIG. 3. Using a spin-on technique, the depression is filled with a layer of material 22 that has a polishing rate, for chemical mechanical polishing, that is similar to that of metal 14 (which would be copper if substrate 11 were a silicon integrated circuit). In general, the closer the two polishing rates, the more effective the invention, with a difference in the polishing rates no greater than about 20% being preferred. Examples of suitable materials include spin-on glass, hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ), and photoresist. Typically, the polishing rate for the selected material is between about 2,500 and 5,500 Angstroms per minute. With layer 22 in place, the integrated circuit is subjected to chemical mechanical polishing in the usual way until most excess metal 14 removed, as shown in FIG. 4. CMP then continues until no excess metal remains above the top level of the trenches/via holes, as illustrated in FIG. 5. It has been our experience that, if the above process is followed, up to about 500 Angstroms of metal (within the original depression 12) will be found to have been removed as a result of dishing, once chemical mechanical polishing has been terminated. Similarly, up to about 1,800 Angstroms of oxide outside the trenches will be found to have been removed as a result of erosion that occurred during chemical mechanical polishing. Stated differently, the amount of metal that remains in the trench at the conclusion of chemical mechanical polishing is greater than about 9,000 Angstroms (in this case). Data confirming the effectiveness of the above-described process is presented in FIGS. 6 and 7. Curve 61 in FIG. 6 is a profile of a trench array after CMP based on prior art techniques. It shows 6,500 Angstroms of erosion within a 10,000 micron profile scan. Curve 71 in FIG. 7 is a similar profile for a trench subjected to CMP in accordance with the teachings of the present invention. As can be seen only 1,800 Angstroms of erosion occurred within a similar (9,500 Angstroms) profile scan. We note here that the effectiveness of this approach is independent of trench depth. While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
