This is a division of application Ser. No. 357,046 filed May 3, 1973, now abandoned.
C. A. Barile et al., Ser. No. 308,608 filed Nov. 21, 1972 and assigned to the same assignee as the present application.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to field effect transistor devices. In particular it relates to reducing the failure rate of such devices.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In recent years the field effect transistor (FET) has progressed from limited utility to a full-scale product technology. At the present time, numerous memory and logic systems utilize this technology. The technological advantages inherent in FET's, such as low power and high-packaging density, have made large scale integration (LSI) a reality. In fact, the FET is rapidly replacing the bipolar transistor as the preferred technology for LSI systems.
When any new technology is implemented, new methods of manufacture often have to be developed; and the reliability of these processes and the resulting product must be assured. Unlike the bipolar transistor, the FET is a surface device and is sensitive to a different set of processing variables, e.g., charge control and gate insulator integrity.
One type of FET which has shown great promise is the metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) which utilizes a composite gate dielectric of silicon dioxide-phosphosilicate glass. The advantages of such a composite gate dielectric have been described by Miller and Barson in U.S. Pat. No. 3,343,049, assigned to the same assignee as the present invention. FET's utilizing silicon dioxide alone as the gate dielectric experience undesirable shifts in one or more of their operating characteristics or qualities at medium and high operating temperatures when operated under their usual bias conditions for extended periods of time. In the ambient environment of the systems in which these devices are used, e.g., data processing storage systems, such shifts are unacceptable. In general, devices exhibiting these shifts must be rejected as unsuitable. Because many hundreds or thousands of such devices are today formed in the same semiconductor substrate, the cost of even a single reject may be quite substantial. The alternatives open to the manufacturing engineer are to reject the entire chip or wafer or to probe the device, isolate the defective devices and insure that they are not used in an operating environment. Either alternative is quite expensive and has delayed or completely halted the introduction of improved semiconductor devices.
In the above described patent, Miller and Barson arrived at a solution to the parameter shift problem which significantly advanced the art. They found that the use of a vitreous film of a mixture of silicon oxide and phosphorus pentoxide (P2 O5) substantially improved the electrical qualities of the field effect transistor devices.
Although the physics of the improvement achieved by adding phosphosilicate glass was not fully understood by Miller and Barson at the time of filing their application, more recently it has been shown that phosphosilicate glass (PSG) is particularly effective in reducing the rate of degradation of threshold voltage due to positive ion contamination drift, thought to be sodium (Na+). The trapping mechanism of a PSG film is believed to be a coulombic attraction between a non-bridging oxygen ion (O-) and the mobile contamination ion (Na+).
It has been found that the thicker the layer of PSG, and the greater the mole precent of P2 O5 it contains, the more stable will be the device. (The PSG acts as a contaminant trap.) On the other hand, too thick a layer leads to PSG polarization shifts of undesirable proportions. Too little PSG doesn't trap enough contaminants to assure reliability.
For example, we have found that production lots of 512 bit memory array chips, each containing about 4000 gates consisting of 600 A SiO2 and 100 A PSG gate insulation, exhibited an unexpectedly high number of failures. The failures fell into two principal categories: (1) gate shorts and (2) severe threshold voltage (VT) shifts. A gate short is a breakdown of the thin gate insulator which is electrically characterized as a catastrophic, permanent failure under stress.
The VT shift (ΔVT) caused a N channel enhancement mode device to operate in the depletion mode. In other words, a normally "off" device becomes normally "on". The shift was detected on chips which were stressed under standard "worst case" conditions for relatively short times, i.e., a gate voltage of around 11 volts at 130� C. ambient temperature for 100 hours. The failing units exhibit no change in input leakage or general threshold degradation, indicating that the failures are not inherent in the FET technology.
It is therefore an object of this invention to improve the reliability of field effect devices.
It is a further object of this invention to manufacture field effect transistors on a large scale integrated basis which maintain long term stability in operating environments.
These and other objects are achieved by forming a thin PSG layer over the gate region, insuring that the thin PSG is completely covered by the gate metallization, and extending the metallization over a thick PSG area over the source and drain regions.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the gate insulator is a thin composite layer of silicon dioxide-PSG: and the insulation region surrounding said composite is another composite layer of relatively thick oxide and PSG. The PSG acts as a means for trapping ionic contaminants.
Extensive testing has indicated that the incomplete coverage of the gate composite insulator allows contaminants to propogate into the gate region in the substrate through the exposed thin PSG area. If the metallization coverage is very poor, a gate short results; if the coverage is marginally poor the contaminants adversely affect VT, particularly in N channel devices.

FIGS. 2 and 3 are cross-sectional views of defective devices.
FIG. 4 is a graph illustrating the threshold instability of defective devices.
FIGS. 5, 5A and 5B are a plain view and cross-sectional views of the inventive device in FIG. 5 taken along lines 5A--5A and 5B--5B respectively.
FIG. 6 is a graph indicating the amount of coverage of the gate insulator needed to assure a non-defective device.
FIG. 1A shows a semiconductor substrate 4 which comprises P type silicon in the < 100> crystallographic orientation and having a typical resistivity of between 1.8-2.4 ohms-cm. A thick oxide layer 6 is formed over the surface of substrate 4. Insulator 6 is preferably thermally grown silicon dioxide having a thickness of 5400 A� 500 A; a range of from 5000 A to 7500 A has been used.
In FIG. 1B, windows 3, 5 and 7 have been carved out of oxide layer 6 to expose areas for the source, drain and contact regions of a FET to be formed in silicon substrate 4. The openings are formed by conventional photoresist techniques.
FIG. 1C illustrates the process after the source, drain and contact regions 1, 11 and 12, respectively have been diffused into windows 3, 5 and 7, respectively. After the diffusion, the windows are reoxidized and a layer of phosphosilicate glass 8 is formed on the surface of oxide 6. Diffusions 10, 11 and 12 are preferably phosphorus having a sheet resistivity of between 8-18 ohms per square.
The preferred diffusion process occurs in a dynamic reactor into which is introduced phosphorus oxychloride (PO Cl3) in a nitrogen carrier gas. Oxygen is present in the reactor, resulting in the deposition of phosphorus pentoxide (P2 O5) on the surfaces of the wafers. At this point a reoxidation and drive-in step is performed, driving phosphorus into regions 10, 11 and 12 and regrowing an oxide layer at the same time by the introduction of dry oxygen or steam at an elevated temperature.
The result is that the portions of layer 8 directly overlying substrate 4 both build up an oxide layer 6 and also penetrate into that layer somewhat to change the composition of the outer surface. Chemical analysis indicates that layer 8 is P2 O5 --SiO2, commonly known as PSG. On the other hand, the portions of the insulating layer directly overlying the source, drain and contact regions are a more uniform composite of PSG and SiO2. In combination with the thin PSG film over channel region 9, the thick PSG composite over source, drain and contact regions 10, 11 and 12 is very important in ensuring reliability as it serves to trap contaminants which might penetrate through areas not protected by metallization.
Having formed the source, drain and contact regions, the gate pattern is now etched over the channel between source 10 and drain 11. In addition, as shown in FIG. 1D an opening to contact region 12 is made simultaneously.
An important phenomenon occurring when the composite thick oxide layer 6 is etched is the difference in etch rate in the direction along the surface of the substrate 4 (X direction) as compared to the etch rate perpendicular to the surface (Y direction). If oxide layer 6 were drawn on the same scale for the X and Y directions, then the etch angle would be expected to equal 45�. However, in point of fact, the etch rates are not the same and the angle θ ordinarily will occur in practice between 10� and 30�. Due to problems of scale in drawing semiconductor devices, the angle cannot be illustrated satisfactorily in drawings such as FIG. 1D. As in virtually all drawings of semiconductor devices in the literature, the scale in the X direction is greatly compressed as compared to the Y direction for purposes of better comprehension. A better illustration will be given in a later section of this specification.
FIG. 1E illustrates the formation of the thin composite insulation and passivation layer over the gate region. The composite comprises a layer of SiO2 18 and PSG 16. The oxide layer is grown to form around 675 A of SiO2. The preferred range of SiO2 is 500-750 A. This forms the insulation between the metallization to be deposited and the channel region 9 in substrate 4. After the growth of SiO2, a thin layer of PSG is formed for purposes of stabilization by the process already alluded to. The PSG layer has a thickness of 110 A � 20 A and comprises around 4.5 mole %� 1.5% phosphorus. For ease of processing, the surface of contact region 12 is also covered with a thin oxide layer 19 and PSG layer 17 which are formed in the same steps as layers 18 and 16 respectively.
In FIG. 1F, layers 19 and 17 are removed by conventional etching steps to reopen contact region 12.
FIG. 1G illustrates an important step in the process which is critical in the fabrication of a highly reliable device. In FIG. 1G, the gate electrode 20 and the contact electrode 21 are shown in position over the gate region and the contact region 12, respectively. It is noted that the gate electrode 20 extends over the thick phosphosilicate glass layer 8, thereby providing a continuous barrier to contaminants which might infiltrate the thin gate insulator. Similarly, contact electrode 21 is also over the thick PSG layer surrounding the contact region for substantially the same reason.
The gate and contact electrodes are preferably formed by a "subtractive etching" step. In this process a blanket of metal is deposited over the entire substrate. The regions over which the electrodes are to remain are masked and the metal and all other areas on the substrate is removed by conventional etching step. The preferred electrode in this invention comprises around 10,000 A of an alloy of aluminum-copper containing 4.5 %∓ 1.5 % copper. However, other electrodes may be used, including a metal such as molybdenum or polycrystalline silicon which is suitably doped to be conductive. For example, polycrystalline silicon which is doped with phosphorus having a surface concentration of around 1019 atoms per cm3 is satisfactory. The important consideration is that the metallization extends over the thick PSG layer 8, thereby insuring that the thin PSG layer 16 is completely covered by electrode 20. Test results illustrating the importance of this coverage are described in detail in a succeeding portion of this specification.
In FIG. 1H, a quartz coating 22 is deposited over the device as a protective medium. The quartz may act as a source of contamination to the active device area.
Although various types of threshold voltage instabilities are known, the most serious instability mechanism associated with N channel FET processing is positive ion drift. As already noted PSG is effective in reducing the rate of degradation of threshold voltage due to contamination drift such as sodium ions. However, the addition of PSG introduces another instability mechanism, i.e. PSG polarization. Thus the threshold stability is controlled by the relative interaction of two variables, the number of mobile contamination ions and the PSG parameters of mole percent the thickness.
In the present FET structure we have found that the best stability results when the thickness of the thin oxide layer 18 is around 700 A and when the mole % of thin oxide PSG which is deposited is approximately 4.5 mole % at a thickness of around 100 A. As compared to lower values of thin oxide thickness, such as 500 A, the thicker oxide reduces the stress field for a given operating voltage; the value or 4.5 mole % as compared to a lower mole % of PSG increases resistance to instability due to ion drift. This also increases the PSG polarization term but is somewhat compensated for by the increase in the thin oxide thickness to 700 A. Overall, however, the contamination level of ions which are prevented from interfering with the operation of the device is increased.
The combination of the specific design of the composite gate insulator and the thick composite insulation, as well as the complete coverage of the gate region by the metallization results in a highly stable, reliable device. The thin PSG layer formed atop the thin oxide layer acts as a contaminant trap; and the metallization prevents the introduction of other contaminants into the composite region and the active regions of the device. As previously noted, the thick PSG layer prevents contaminants from penetrating the active regions through surface areas unprotected by the metallization.
FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate FET devices having marginal coverage of the gate insulator and poor coverage. respectively. In FIG. 2, metallizations 20' covers substantially all of the thin composite gate insulator except for a portion of the thin PSG on the sidewall. In FIG. 3 the coverage is substantially poorer, with both the sidewall and a portion of the horizontal surface of the PSG remaining uncovered.
These defects in coverage are caused by errors in process control such as overetching of the gate windows, overetching the metallization pattern or a misregistration between the masks used for the aluminum gate and the thin oxide gate insulators. In some prior art devices featuring oxide dielectrics, the design ground-rules themselves cause the lack of complete coverage. As shown, in FIGS. 2 and 3, the consequence of these process control errors is a more or less severe inadequacy of coverage of the thin oxide 16, leading to device failure.
Extensive testing of these inadequately covered devices indicates that a failure will not result merely because layer 16 is exposed. There must be a source of contamination present at the inadequately covered gate insulator. It has been found that, under stress, the contaminants, usually positive ions, will move under the gate and degrade the threshold voltage. The failure rate is a function both of the composite layer 16/18 exposure and the amount of contamination. For example, it has been found that not all of the devices which have inadequate metallization coverage will fail. Thus, a program which would reduce or eliminate the sources of contamination would also result in higher yields. However, this is a very difficult solution to achieve. Contaminants emanate from a number of sources, some of which are not controllable at the present state of the art. For example, quartz coating 22 is known to contain mobile positive charges; and contaminants may be introduced into the devices both before or during glassing. In addition, contaminant sources may result from residue such as photoresist or foreign debris which have collected in the tiny crevices created by the inadequate coverage of the metallization. These sources of contamination would be, from a financial standpoint, practically impossible to correct. The assurance of adequate metallization coverage over the thin composite insulator, on the other hand, can be provided much more easily within the state of the art of quality assurance manufacturing techniques.
To further explain the criticality of complete coverage of the thin composite insulator 16/18, the results of stress tests on both good and defective devices will be discussed. The technique of stressing field effect devices to predict their future behavior and to detect defects is known to those of skill in this art. For those who are as yet unfamiliar with this technique, reference is made to the application of C. A. Barile et al. Ser. No. 308,608, filed Nov. 21, 1972, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,793,090 and assigned to the assignee of the present invention. This previous application is hereby made of reference in the present application. In general, the stressing process involves applying a potential, generally denoted as Vstress, to the gate of the device at a selected ambient temperature. The source, drain and substrate of the device are grounded, although the source and drain might also be left floating. The value of the threshold voltage of the device is measured before and after stressing, to arrive at the threshold voltage shift, ΔVT.
In one test on a production lot of devices, we found that both adequately covered and inadequately covered (anomalous) devices behaved similarly for early hours of stress, i.e., less than 70 hours. After that period, the threshold voltage, VT, of the anomalous devices only degraded rapidly. The stress voltage, VSTRESS, was 11 volts and the ambient temperature was 130� C. Both sets of devices were then baked for 18 hours at 225� C. After baking, the sets were restressed and the anomalous devices degraded rapidly from the initiation of the stress whereas the good devices behaved as predicted by the standard polarization component of threshold degradation.
The results of another test on the anomalous devices is illustrated in FIG. 4, wherein the ambient temperature was varied as shown. FIG. 4 is a graph of the logarithm of the change in threshold voltage, ΔVT, versus ambient temperature. Under pre-stress conditions, i.e., VSTRESS = 0, there is a breakpoint at 300� C. at which the change in threshold voltage begins to degrade rapidly. This is illustrated by the dotted curve on the graph. This high breakpoint temperature indicates that there are more PSG trap sites than there are sodium ions in the gate region. However, after stressing at 11 volts, the breakpoint temperature is reduced to 140� C., indicating that the amount of sodium ions present under the gate has increased. As has been previously indicated, this failure occurs only with devices which are inadequately covered by metallization over the gate region.
The conclusions from these tests are that the level of contamination in the gate region of the anomalous devices is substantially increased after stressing which results in a faster degradation rate.
Referring now to FIGS. 5, 5A and 5B, these illustrate more accurately the sidewall angle of a typical FET device fabricated in accordance with the present invention. FIG. 5 is a top surface view of the device showing the aluminum metallization 20 and the source and drain regions 10 and 11, respectively. The outlined portion 23 represents an elevated surface of the metallization which is due to the gradual slope of the sidewall of PSG layer 16. The sidewall is more clearly illustrated in FIG. 5A and it is seen that the slope is of such a magnitude that a substantial portion of the sidewall faces the horizontal surface of the device rather than being normal to it. The slope of the sidewall is illustrated in FIG. 5A as the angle θ. In a typical field effect device θ equals 10�-30�. It is seen that this PSG layer 16' takes up a significant area over source and drain regions 10 and 11. Thus, contaminants can drift into these regions as well as channel 9 to deleteriously affect device operation.
The low slope of the sidewall requires that the amount of metallization coverage be carefully calculated to take the slope into effect. If the slope of the SiO2 layer 6 were 90� (perfectly vertical), as is the slope of thick PSG layer 8, then there would be no problem. However, there is a finite distance between the edge of the horizontal portion of PSG layer 16 and the beginning of PSG layer 8. For convenience, this distance is treated as "edge coverage" over thick PSG layer 8, although it is really part of the metallization directly over PSG layer 16. Illustrated in FIG. 6 is a graph of the aluminum coverage design values over each edge of the thick PSG layer versus the etch angle θ. The lower curve assumes that there is no misalignment of the mask which is used to form the metallization layer 20 in the process. One parameter determining the aluminum coverage is the etch tolerance, existing in all processes, which is approximately 25 microinches. Also included is the etching back of the gate metal which is approximately 25 microinches per edge. A third factor is the desired overlap, which is approximately equal to 15 microinches. In a typical case these factors add up to a tolerance of 75 microinches, which is generally invariant for the same manufacturing process.
The other significant variable, as stated above, is a function of the sidewall angle θ. The sidewall angle of the PSG depends on the mole percent of PSG, the thickness of the PSG layer 16 and the thickness, tox, of the SiO2 layer 6. The amount required can be determined trigonometrically by the formula:
B= tox / tan θ
Typically where θ = 20� and tox = 5300 M, B= 60 microinches. Thus, on the curve, the edge coverage is around 135 microinches. This amount must be added to the amount needed to cover the horizontal surface of PSG layer 16, which is typically 325 microinches. The upper curve in FIG. 6 assumes a 60 microinch misalignment of the mask used to form layer 20.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing and other changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, although the invention has been described with particular reference to N channel devices, it is also applicable to P channel devices for protection against gate shorts.

There is a poem that personifies the message that I believe women need to know about themselves entitled
"Our Deepest Marianne son.
This is one of my favorite writings. It reads:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Always tiny
I got some tomato plants in early March from a county extension garden fair at the mall. They seemed to be very healthy. I watered and kept them in pots outside for about a month or so when they started to have brown leaves. I asked around and researched and found I should pinch off those leaves. I did and new green pretty leaves came.
Finally transplanted the plants into the bathtub container I am using -- did the soil test first, etc. The leaves are still mostly gone. The ones that are there are brown or even when I remove, are dark. In short, the plants look very sad.
There are tiny tomatoes that started a couple of weeks ago, but they don't appear to be growing much. I picked the first one today because it was a lovely red, but it is the size of a cherry or grape tomato, not a roma.
These are roma for two of the plants and 3 plants are heirloom German Queen. Well, technically only 1 of the heirlooms lived.
I don't know if this is related but all of the vegetables I've tried in the now three years I've attempted this have all been miniature, if they produced at all. One cucumber plant yielded these strange "comma"-looking cucumbers that fit in the palm of my hand. My radishes and carrots produced, but were all teeny-tiny, and I grew some lovely cantaloupes that were the size of softballs. On the other hand, my oregano and my marigolds were prolific and beautiful!
So what could be my problem? Not enough fertilizer? Last year I thought I might have overcrowded, but this year I was careful to space the tomatoes as directed. Four plants in a standard sized bathtub.
Sorry so long, and thanks for the help!
So I must ask, is the only drainage in this tub the tub hole?
If so, I suspect that you have waterlogged tomatoes.
I also find that some things just do better grown directly in the ground, and that includes tomatoes. I personally never had much success with them growing in containers.
It is the only drainage, but it is a large hole and I also prepped the tub to drain well with instructions by the extension office. But that is a possibility I guess. The tomatoes are beautiful, though, and I had the one I picked. Quite tasty! Just very very small. And the cantaloupes I did last year were in the ground but very small.
And as if to mock me openly, when I went out the next morning after posting the above, the leaves were green and gorgeous and plentiful.
I did fertilize yesterday. I don't know if that will help.
Thanks for the help. I'll keep that in mind and I'll try something different for my next planting.

Addazio: 'Enjoyed watching the Red Sox'
November, 2, 2013
By Jack McCluskey | ESPNBoston.com
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Steve Addazio wanted to make one thing abundantly clear up front:
"I don't know anything about baseball," he said after BC's 34-27 win over Virginia Tech on Saturday afternoon. "I've watched more baseball since I've been here than [I have] my whole life."
But on the same day the Sox took a triumphant tour through town, riding duck boats down Boylston Street six months after the bombings marred the finish of the Boston Marathon, the first-year Eagles coach said he's happy to be watching more hardball.
"I really enjoyed watching the Red Sox," he said. "Not because I know anything about baseball, because I don't. But because I watched a team that a year ago, was completely transformed in 12 months."
Though he may not know a ground-rule double from a double switch, Addazio said he likes to watch people and got great pleasure out of watching the Sox interact this season.
"It looked to me like this team brought the best out of each other, the Red Sox," he said. "They found a chemistry -- they were all for one, one for all. There wasn't selfishness. They were hooked on doing something great for our city. And they brought the best out of each other."
The BC boss compared it to a marriage, saying that good spouses make each other better people.
"I talked to our team about we gotta bring the best out in each other," he said. "And that's so important. In the big picture, that's what it's all about. And that's what we drew from what the Red Sox were able to accomplish.
"They probably got great players -- I mean, I wouldn't really know. But there was a love and a bond, and that's why I think people gravitated to that so much. Because there's something more to it. And that's what I want his program to be, because that's what this university is. So we're working on that every day. And, yes, that was an inspiration."

Nicklas Lidstrom's retirement speech, in full, from DetroitRedWings.com's Bill Roose
by George Malik on 05/31/12 at 08:17 PM ET
Comments (3)
After summarizing the local takes on Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom's retirement, many videos included, I was kinda staggered to find this from DetroitRedWings.com's Bill Roose, and I'm thrilled in a way that this post literally could not fit in because I ran out of room:
Here is Lidstrom's entire statement to the press, per DetroitRedWings.com's Roose:
"I'd like to thank everyone for coming today, for coming down to the Joe Louis Arena for this announcement. Today, after 20 seasons as a player for the Detroit Red Wings, I am announcing my retirement. Before I get into thanking everyone, I'd like to make a few comments about retirement.
"At some point in time, it catches up to everyone, it diminishes their ability to perform some things you love and care about passionately. It comes to an end sooner than what you would have liked. The last few years, I waited until after the season was over to assess my ability to play another year. I need to let a few weeks go by to get a reading on my body's ability to recover from the grind of an NHL season. Sadly, this year it's painfully obvious to me that my strength and energy levels are not rebounding enough for me to continue to play. My drive and motivation are not where they need to be to play at this level. That's why I feel like it's time to retire.

Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom retired this morning, and while the presser was overwhelming, Lidstrom will appear on NHL Live at 6 PM, this afternoon's Mitch Albom and Stoney and Bill shows, and it's time to move on as well:

Officially Verklempt: Watch Nicklas Lidstrom's presser and join me in going for the Kleenex

Jeebus monkey, I never thought I'd post a blog post about this, but…I said this on Twitter this morning, and I was right: my father passed away suddenly, I've had two major surgeries, battled depression and anxiety all my life, and today…Ranks up there with the hardest days of my life. Nicklas Lidstrom was my favorite red Wing, someone who came into the league the same year I began following hockey, and to lose that presence, to know that he's going back to Sweden in a few weeks, to stay…
The presser is available via this post, as are several comments made by Lidstrom and the Wings' brass, and you can watch the entire presser here:

It's official: Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom has retired (updated with quotes, video)
by George Malik on 05/31/12 at 01:41 PM ET
Comments (2)
Updated 3x with full presser video and quotes at 12:36 PM: Sigh. per DetroitRedWings.com's Bill Roose (and as noted by RedWingsFeed, the Wings expect to lose Brad Stuart this off-season, too):
Thursday morning, Lidstrom, who played in 1,827 games, including the playoffs, made the announcement, which stakeholders in Hockeytown knew would eventually come, but were hoping it wouldn't be so soon.
The most decorated defenseman of his era, Lidstrom, who appeared in 12 All-Star games and won his first Norris Trophy at age 31, has decided to retire instead of returning to the Wings for a 21st season.
Last month, after the Wings were eliminated by Nashville in the Western Conference quarterfinals, Lidstrom said that the toughest thing about coming back next season was getting motivated to make the necessary commitment to the off-ice workouts in the off-season.
"I know what I have to do to get ready for a long year," said Lidstrom, who has been team captain since 2006. "I'm not willing to sacrifice that to have a good summer or take it easy. I know what I have to do and it's a grind to go through, which all of us do in here. Then you hit the grind of (the) season. It's a long year. You play 3-4 games every week for over six months and that takes its toll on you too."
As Lidstrom said in Swedish, and in English at his presser, the motivation was lacking, and he wasn't going to cheat himself, or his teammates, by doing anything less than playing at 100% percent.
To quote the AP's Larry Lage:
"My drive and motivation are not where to need to be to play at this level," Nicklas Lidstrom said, retiring after 20 #NHL seasons in the D

Nicklas Lidstrom, in his own (Swedish) words: Red Wings' captain lacks motivation to continue
by George Malik on 05/31/12 at 09:44 AM ET
Comments (4)
I figured it would happen this way: Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom has been given a wide berth by the local press corps, but when Expressen's Gunnar Nordstrom called him, Lidstrom wouldn't fib as to why he's retiring:
Lidstrom: I've had a great career
Los Angeles. It was the drive and motivation that was lost. It is, therefore, why Nicklas Lidstrom, 42, made the decision to quit.
He reveals this in an exclusive interview to Sport-Expressen, before today's press conference in Detroit, where the decision becomes official. This summer, "Lidas" will move home to Sweden with his family.

Red Wings morning report: the out-of-towners' reactions to Nicklas Lidstrom's retirement
by George Malik on 05/31/12 at 09:24 AM ET
Comments (4)
As Sportsline's Brian Stubits duly noted, Red Wings Nicklas Lidstrom remains ever the polite captain, even in choosing to position the Red Wings to pursue free agents and trades to help fill the gaping hole he'll leave in Detroit's defense and the hearts of Red Wings fans, maybe to an extent that the Wings have never been as aggressive before: Lidstrom made sure to choose to hold his presser during the first of two days between Stanley Cup Final games, giving the league more than enough time to shift its focus back to the New Jersey Devils-Los Angeles Kings series and giving the flock of reports that will show up at Joe Louis Arena this morning at 11 enough time to shuffle back to Newark for Game 2 on Saturday.
Here's a brief survey of what the rest of the NHL has to say about Lidstrom's retirement, which the Wings' press corps will undoubtedly continue to focus upon in the days, weeks and months to come, starting with videos from NHL.com:

Red Wings overnight report: the 'local' press's reaction to Nicklas Lidstrom's retirement decision
by George Malik on 05/31/12 at 08:27 AM ET
Comments (2)
Updated with captaincy talk at 8:15 AM: The news is still staggering, like a punch to the gut and heart at the same time: at 11 AM today, the Red Wings will hold a press conference to announce Nicklas Lidstrom's retirement, and it will air on DetroitRedWings.com, the NHL Network, DetNews.com and FoxSportsDetroit.com (update: TSN and Sportsnet will air it as well).
We don't yet know whether family issues, a lack of drive to engage in off-season training, simply deciding that, like Steve Yzerman some six years ago, the time was right to step away and encourage the team to transition toward its next generation, fears of a lockout or Lidstrom's encounter with mortality and an inability to turn away from checks thanks to that damn bouncing puck that hit his right ankle and left a severe bone bruise constitute the reasons why he's leaving, but Wings fans everywhere understand that Lidstrom's decision to retire marks the end of the line for one of the best Red Wings to ever suit up for the team, and one of the best defensemen in NHL history.
Here's what the Wings' beat writers and Detroit press have had to say about Lidstrom's retirement, in site-by-site order, starting with MLive's Ansar Khan's report about the presser:

OxyChi (Single Speed model 140 swings per minute)
Exercise and relaxation made easy... lay down and relax while boosting circulation and more...
See our listings for the top of the range OxyChi Pro 20 Speed
The OxyChi comes in 3 models: Single Speed, 5 Speed and 20 Speed Pro (with warm up and warm down)
This listing is for the Single speed OxyChi operating at 140 swings per minute, (the same as the Sun Ancon and Zen Chi) but with some important upgrades:
The OxyChi produces a relaxing rhythmic motion throughout the body, alleviating stress and muscle tension while loosening the spinal column.
The rhythmic motion is core driven producing a balanced energy wave through the body. The motion replicates exercise in that it promotes the flow of lymphatic fluid and oxygenated blood to all areas of the body.
Energy and Detoxification are improved oxygenation, enhanced lymphatic circulation and abdominal peristalsis.
Physiological benefits:
Improved Circulation and Oxygenation
The OxyChi's wave like motion stimulates circulation, enhancing the oxygen carrying capacity of blood, delivering nutrients to where they are needed, activating cells and stimulating metabolism. Oxygen is essential to all organs of the body and promotes health and wellbeing.
Healthy Joints and Muscles
The swaying motion of the OxyChi exercises and relieves tension in joints and muscles, especially the hips, back and neck. Many people experience relief of headaches, back pain and muscle tension.
More Energy
Improvement in oxygen and nutrition to cells and removal of toxic wastes increases mitochondrial activity (energy production) within muscle and nerve cells
Using the OxyChi is a very relaxing experience, it is effortless and at the same time invigorating
Lymphatic Drainage and Detoxification
Improved circulation and oxygen absorption assist the removal of acids in the body. Lymphatic drainage aids detoxification and stimulates the immune system.
Enhanced Internal Organ Function
The swaying motion of the OxyChi gently massages internal organs and aids peristalsis, improving digestion and bowel function
Spinal and Nerve Balance
The OxyChi helps strengthen and relax the muscles around the spine, promoting a natural realignment and movement of the vertebrae resulting in healthy nerve impulses to all internal organs
Weight Loss
Many people report weight loss while using the OxyChi. This may be due to a number of factors, including improvements in fluid balance (via circulation and lymphatic drainage) as well as the gentle aerobic effect which improves metabolism and fat burning
After more than a decade using single speed Chi machines, finally a significant breakthrough with technology has allowed the creation of a reliable variable speed Chi Machine
"The OxyChi Pro is by far the best Chi machine on the market and the one we now use and recommend with our patients"

Egypt's new leadership accused of censorship
POSTED: Tuesday, September 4, 2012 - 10:00am
UPDATED: Tuesday, September 4, 2012 - 10:04am
NBC News — Just over two months into the tenure of Mohamed Mursi, a media crackdown has raised fears that Egypt's new Islamist president is moving to stifle criticism of the Muslim Brotherhood. Last month, formal accusations by state prosecutors were filed against two journalists and an issue of an independent newspaper was confiscated by the state's censorship unit.
The banned issue ran on its front page a long list of accusations against the Brotherhood, and said the group's rule was leading Egypt down the wrong path. President Mursi resigned from the Muslim Brotherhood when he was elected in June but has named a former colleague from the Islamist group as his Information Minister. The Muslim Brotherhood has repeatedly denied it is trying to censor opinion.

There were concerns that if the lockout is still going on next summer (and there is a real chance of that happening) that the best NBA players would stay away because USA Basketball is seen as a David Stern production. But if you think the best players are going to miss the chance to win…
Report: Chinese team still trying to get Kobe… for exhibitions
Aug 22, 2011, 8:14 AM EDT
Kobe Bryant cannot play in a Chinese Basketball Association league game. Last week that league shut down what might have been an NBA influx ruling that only NBA free agents can be signed by Chinese teams. Players under contract — Kobe, Dwyane Wade, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Durant and others — cannot be signed even with…
Brandon Jennings wants a Drew-Goodman rematch, KD says they'll oblige. Will Kobe join in?
Aug 21, 2011, 9:00 AM EDT
Kevin Durant dropped 44 in the Drew-Goodman showdown Saturday and the Drew League won 135-134. But, as is custom for exhibition games in which the players are not making much if anything at all in a hastily organized game versus an NBA game for which the players get paid millions and which drives the emotions…
Other pro-am league showdowns popping up now
Aug 19, 2011, 12:19 PM EDT
There's a lot of buzz about the East Coast vs. West Coast showdown Saturday in Washington D.C. — the Drew League vs. the Goodman League. L.A. vs. D.C. It's about as close to NBA action — Kevin Durant, James Harden, John Wall, DeMar DeRozan and others — as you are going to get for a…
Kobe, Lakers donate playoff money to fired team staff
Aug 19, 2011, 10:59 AM EDT
When Phil Jackson left the Lakers, Jim Buss (son of owner Jerry Buss and the guy running the show now) used the chance to clean house. A lot of teams are laying guys off during the lockout, but the Lakers canned 20 people — video guys, long-time front office people, scouts, trainers and more. Some…
Kobe got run at the Drew League in the most Kobe of ways
Aug 18, 2011, 8:31 PM EDT
We all knew about the happy ending — Kobe Bryant shows up at the Drew League (the legendary pro-am league in Los Angeles) where a bunch of people who can't afford to sit close to the floor of a Lakers game got to see him in action. Got to see him score 43 points. Got…
Chinese paper reports Kobe agrees to deal, Kobe denies it
Aug 18, 2011, 2:37 PM EDT
UPDATE 2:37 pm: It didn't take long for Kobe's people to shoot this idea down. As expected, Kobe's people deny there is a deal, here is the tweet from ESPN's Chris Broussard who talked with a source: Contrary to reports out of China, Kobe hasn't agreed to deal w/any team, source says. He's still weighing…
Chinese league moves to block NBA player influx
Aug 18, 2011, 11:15 AM EDT
We've been telling you this was coming, and now it's official. The Chinese Basketball Association has blocked teams from signing any NBA player under contract from coming to the league, according to sports.163.com (via HoopsHype). That means no Kobe Bryant, no Dwyane Wade, no Dirk Nowitzki. Chinese league officials put together a list of 108…
Kobe makes plea for players to stand behind union
Aug 17, 2011, 6:30 PM EDT
There are owners counting on the players union coming apart at the seams. They are counting on players used to an extravagant lifestyle who, once they miss a couple paychecks, will start putting pressure on union head Billy Hunter to get a deal done fast. A deal on the owners' terms. (The players would not…
China will vote to curb NBA influx by end of week
Aug 17, 2011, 12:12 PM EDT
Some of the biggest names in the NBA — Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade and others — are looking hard at China. There are good reasons for this. First, there is good sponsorship money there (and companies like Nike might help pay to get stars in the world's largest shoe market). Also, the league doesn't start…
Kobe Bryant drops 43, hits game winner at Drew League
Aug 17, 2011, 8:00 AM EDT

Kobe Bryant denies injuring man in San Diego church
Aug 16, 2011, 8:26 PM EDT
As one would expect, Kobe Bryant has denied injuring a man by snatching a cell phone out of his hand in a San Diego church. His attorney issued a statement to the Los Angeles Times. "Mr. Bryant is aware of the baseless allegations asserted against him," said a statement issued by attorney Mark Campbell, "and…
Kobe accused of injuring man's wrist in church incident
Aug 16, 2011, 8:21 AM EDT
I'll be up front, not sure this passes the smell test for me. But, it's out there and being reported in multiple places now, people are talking about it, so I will pass it along. A man in San Diego has accused Kobe Bryant of injuring him during an incident at a church, and the…
Most minutes played in NBA history, regular season and playoffs? Kareem.
Aug 15, 2011, 7:21 PM EDT
When we talk about the wear and tear on a player's body, we can quickly look up how many regular season minutes a player has racked up. But that leaves out the playoffs. For a player like Kobe Bryant, that is 8,165 minutes — the equivalent of three more 82 game seasons at his regular…
Report: Kobe offered more than $1.5 million a month to play in China
Aug 15, 2011, 4:21 PM EDT
Kobe Bryant dropped out of negotiations with a Turkish squad, but you knew other teams were going to make big money runs at him. And they are coming from China, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo sports. The Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant(notes) has offers north of $1.5 million a month to play in China,…
Durant's agent says players can make NBA money overseas
Aug 15, 2011, 2:35 PM EDT
When you see big-name NBA stars talking about going overseas, it's not about the salary. Even if you pay Kobe Bryant $2 million a month he will not make half his NBA salary next season. It's about the marketing, the branding. To quote Mars Blackmon: It's got to be the shoes. Which is what superagent…
Kobe Bryant breaks off negotiations with Turkish squad
Aug 12, 2011, 6:44 PM EDT
Kobe Bryant is not going to Turkey. But other suitors still are seeking him out. Kobe and his agent Rob Pelinka met with representatives of Besiktas last week and the talks have broken off because the two sides could not reach a financial deal, reports Sportando.net. According to Obrad Fimic of Alti Sport who was…
Should the NBA age limit go up? One more year? Two?
Aug 11, 2011, 2:16 PM EDT
Interesting tweet Thursday from Mike Rice, the college basketball coach at Rutgers (via Pete Thamel of the New York Times): I keep hearing NBA owners want to adopt same rule as NFL. Players will have to wait 3 yrs to enter the draft. I am not mentioning this because I trust the coaches sources, but…
What active players are bound for basketball's Hall of Fame?
Aug 11, 2011, 12:21 PM EDT
Chris Mullin is in. So is Artis Gilmore. Arvydas Sabonis is in (more for his European career than what he did in the NBA after that). Dennis Rodman will join them (in spectacular fashion). Those are the NBA players entering the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame on Friday. All of them deserving. But what current…

Are stomachaches and messy potty breaks frequent occurrences for little ones in your home? "Stomach problems" happen to
everyone, and children are no exception. Sometimes an upset tummy is just an upset tummy, but children, just like adults, can suffer from food allergies and sensitivities, and just like adults these allergies and sensitivities can and should be addressed.
Vincent Biank, MD, Pediatric Gastroenterology at NorthShore, answers some common questions about GI food allergies and sensitivities
in children:
Is there an easy, relatively non-invasive test to see which foods a child is allergic or sensitive to?
There are several simple blood tests for allergies but unfortunately we do not have simple tests for sensitivities that are accurate in children; therefore, we will commonly have to do an elimination diet. We will remove one food item at a time for
two weeks and then replace that food item after those two weeks, carefully documenting any changes in the symptoms. The two most common sensitivities are lactose and gluten. I would not recommend removing gluten from a child's diet until they have been properly
tested for Celiac disease otherwise you will just need to add it back in for one to two months before it can be accurately checked in the blood.
What foods are typically off-limits for child with soy and dairy allergies? Is it possible to eliminate these foods entirely from a child's diet?
Soy and diary are in almost everything, so eliminating them is difficult. For this reason, we will have our pediatric dieticians work with families to make sure no soy or dairy in getting into a patient's diet. Until then, check labels! Anything that
has soy, soy protein, milk, milk protein, casein or whey in its label should be avoided.
Are children with GI food allergies more likely to develop other GI-related issues as young adults and adults?
Unfortunately we don't have enough data to answer this question at this time. Although food allergy with typical symptoms of anaphylaxis, hives, trouble breathing etc. has been diagnosed and treated for many years, the majority of the GI manifestations
of food allergy are recent in their discovery. For example it wasn't until 1995 that Eosinophilic Esophagitis was even considered a diagnosis and now we are diagnosing it one to two times per week. The result is we still don't have a clear idea of the natural
history of GI food allergies over time.
Should children with stomach "issues" be given probiotics, as well as brought in for testing?
The short answer is to go ahead and try probiotics prior to the visit. The long answer is that unfortunately we are only at the beginning of our understanding of what probiotics do, such as which varieties are best, how much to give and how long they
should be taken.
What are some of the warning signs of GI issues in toddlers/children? Should a parent be concerned about frequent loose stools?
The biggest sign of GI issues is poor weight gain. Diarrhea can be a symptom of an underlying GI disorder but not always. We frequently see toddlers with loose stools with no additional systemic signs of disease, like poor weight gain; therefore, we
will typically rule out some common GI-related problems. If tests are negative, we will then discuss how to thicken the stool.
Are the foods known to cause GI allergic reactions in kids the same as those that cause skin or more severe allergic reactions? What are the common foods for GI allergies?
Yes, for some individuals the foods that cause GI allergic symptoms could also cause skin and the typically more severe allergic reaction; however, this is not the case for everyone. Some individuals will only have GI symptoms and others will only
have skin or respiratory symptoms. The most common foods for GI allergies are the "Big Six:" milk, soy, wheat, eggs, nuts and fish.
Does your child have a food allergy or sensitive that results in GI issues?
Food allergy is a reaction by the immune system that occurs quickly after eating a food. Symptoms occur with ingestion of even a tiny amount of a food and can range from rash or mild itching of the mouth and tongue to life-threatening and life-ending reactions.
Many people who think they have a food allergy actually have food intolerance. Food allergy is estimated to affect six to eight percent of children under five, and three to four percent of adults.
Intolerances to food will affect most people at some point in their lives. For example, lactose intolerance occurs when your body can't break down milk sugar leading to bloating, cramping and diarrhea. While food intolerances can be uncomfortable they are
less serious than food allergy and are not life-threatening.
Common food allergies for adults:
Common food allergies in children:
How do you determine if you have a food allergy to a specific food? Understanding the symptoms of an allergic reaction is important. In allergic reactions, symptoms develop within seconds to a few hours of ingesting the food. Symptoms occur each time you
ingest the food allergen. In fact, 85% of food allergic reactions occur have ingesting the same eight foods: milk, egg, wheat, soy, peanut/tree nuts, fish and shellfish. Symptoms can range from mild to severe—itching in the mouth; hives or eczema; swelling
lips, face or tongue; trouble breathing; diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain; dizziness and fainting are all symptoms of allergic reactions. Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction to foods.
Rachel Story, MD, Allergist at NorthShore, highlights some approaches your physician might take to determine if you suffer from a more mild
food allergy and what might be triggering your reactions:
Food allergy can cause a severe reaction called anaphylaxis. Symptoms of anaphylaxis include swelling of the airways with throat closing or difficulty breathing, a drop in blood pressure, rapid pulse and fainting. This type of reaction must be treated immediately
as it could result in death. All people with suspected food allergy should be evaluated by a physician as they may need to carry medications to treat accidental ingestions of food allergens. Over-the-counter antihistamines such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl)
and cetrizine (Zyrtec) are used to treat mild reactions. Severe reactions are treated with an injection of epinephrine that can be administered using an epinephrine autoinjector (EpiPen, AuviQ).
There are currently no FDA-approved treatments for food allergy. However, much promising research is ongoing and there is hope for a treatment for food allergy in the next 5 to 10 years.
Are you allergic to a food? How did you discover your food allergy?

Council divided on water strategy
Relevant offers
Environment Southland councillors look set to go into battle over water quality, but not with farmers.
The council is divided on how to deal with the degrading of Southland rivers outlined in a damning report by the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, Dr Jan Wright.
While some are calling for the council to follow Dr Wright's suggestions of wintering cows inside, cutting the number of cows per hectare and cutting the number of farms in the area, councillor Marion Miller said the council was not in a position to tell farmers how to use their land.
"We can not tell people what to do on their land."
Her comments were backed up by councillors Ross Cockburn and Neville Cook.
"I think it is a fair statement, we are not in the farming business," Cr Cockburn said.
He said the council had to be open minded about dairy farming and water quality issues and had already gone to great lengths to come up with initiatives to help with the issue of water quality.
"It doesn't happen overnight," Cr Cockburn said.
Dr Wright's report shows that as the rate of intensive dairy farming has increased, so has the level of nitrates and phosphates in the water.
Environment Southland chairwoman Ali Timms said the council used a mixture of education and regulation and encouraged best practice.
The rural community had been responsive to the education and any more regulation would have be worked through with the council and the community, she said.
Cr Nicol Horrell said from London yesterday that regulation was "always a last resort".
"In a lot of cases we have a range of options to achieve our goals, including education."
However, councillors Robert Guyton and Jan Riddell both agreed more needed to be done to reduce the damage to Southland's waterways and eco-systems.
"Our brief is to govern and regulate," Cr Guyton said.
"We have clearly got to be strong, we have got an obligation to be strong."
He said some councillors were reluctant to regulate the industry because they did not want to "upset" stakeholders.
"I think the farming community and the farming industry have always had a significant influence over Environment Southland through industry-friendly councillors. I think that influence has grown significantly."
Some councillors were holding the economy in "higher regard" than the environment, he said.
"The balance is swinging towards economic development and the not the environment."
Ms Timms would not comment on his statements.
Cr Riddell said the report was another reminder the council needed to do more than just regulate.
"This is a wake-up call."
The council needed to be more proactive in its attitude, she said.
Even dairy giant Fonterra was more rigorous in its standards around water quality and farming practices than Environment Southland.
The council needed more bottom-line regulation, she said.
"How much dairy can the region handle safely?"
Cr Lloyd McCallum said he was unwilling to have a discussion about the issue in the media and instead would air his views at the next council meeting.
Councillors Grant Hubber and Peter Jones did not return phone calls.

PBT Extra: Giving out MVP, end of season awards
Apr 16, 2014, 6:59 PM EDT
I'm in the majority on this one — Kevin Durant would get my MVP vote, just edging out LeBron James. Where it gets interesting is spots 3-5 on the ballot, as there are way more deserving candidates than spaces.
Julie Donaldson joins me for the latest PBT Extra where she asked me about the bottom of the MVP ballot, as well as who I would pick for Rookie of the Year, Sixth Man of the Year, and Defensive Player of the Year.

Shambala being used for a BoA commercial is about as discouraging as symbolism gets.
- casualcommenter - Apr 16, 2014 at 10:06 PM
Yeah, IMO, LeBron James is still the best player in the NBA, but Kevin Durant improved his defense, passing, and rebounding this year enough to close the gap a lot.
If you use True shooting percentage, Durant was roughly as efficient as LeBron this year, but Durant scored more points plus rebounded more than LeBron and had almost as many assists per game.
Durant's defensive statistics were also better than LeBron's, which to me suggests both that Durant improved AND LeBron coasted. So Durant individually had a better season than LeBron by several measures, and speaking of coasting –
The Thunder won 58 games in the ultracompetitive Western Conference despite Russell Westbrook missing 37 games.
The Heat won 54 games in a historically bad Eastern Conference with Dwyane Wade missing 30 games.
So Durant's team won more despite a more difficult schedule and his #2 guy missing more time than LeBron's. The Heat just lost too many games to teams below 0.500 like the Celtics x2, 76'ersx2, Jazz, Knicks, Pelicans, Nuggets, Kings, etc., suggesting inconsistent effort, and that isn't enough for LeBron to 3-peat as MVP.

Pros: 'More Choices' for health benefits than previously provided
Cons: All choices are at a higher cost to you and contribution level from the company is lower than ever. All deductibles are higher than previous.
They have yet to announce any changes to 401K other than a new provider for that is coming next year.
Bonuses have a potential to be great but business performance is vague so no one really knows where we will net out at end of year.

Benefits are largely controlled under contract negotiations, as the Fremont plant is a unionized shop. Heath coverage, currently, is above average-at least for the area. We currently pay nothing out of pocket for our benefits. The current 5-year contract is up in the beginning of 2016 and we are all anticipating major change.
I have been at the facility for over 10 years and was part of the last group hired that received a pension program. Now it is 401k option only.
Severance package is 1-week for each year of service-something that is becoming more and more of a reassuring benefit. There is a company store that offers "discounted" consumables.
The first vacation week is not earned until the first year anniversary. Three "personal" days offered per year with the option of obtaining 2 more for an incentive to fight absenteeism.
Tuition assistance was once offered but was cut out on the last company buy-out. New management does not seem concerned for the betterment of it's workforce any longer.

At the time, benefits and culture were great.

Vacation time was good if you were able to take it
