What factors contribute to these results? 1A Report Card Data The ―Report Card Data‖ template will prompt responses to the following questions: What do the School Report Card data tell you about student performance in your district? What areas of weakness are indicated by these data? What areas of strength are indicated? Also include: For special education, what findings are cited in the Focused Monitoring Report? These findings should be included in the data analysis. Districts receiving funds under Title III of NCLB for the Language Instruction of Limited English Proficient and Immigrant Students must use this template if the district did not meet Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAO) for two consecutive years as required by NCLB, Section 6842 (b)(2) and in providing information applicable for Title III. Districts are to incorporate the RtI objectives and activities that address the required components in the District Improvement Plan (DIP) template What factors are likely to have contributed to these results? Consider both external and internal factors to the district.. Conclusions: What do these factors imply for next steps in improvement planning?

What do these factors imply for next steps in improvement planning? PARENT INVOLVEMENT Still in data collection mode List activities and attendance at events related to school improvement goals Satisfaction, effectiveness, or gap analysis data Related to your objectives/strategies/activities Survey data Dates 1 D KEY FACTORS This section prompts a review of the collection of factors from data analysis (I-A, I-B, and I-C) and the next steps that have been carried forward from the data screens. Prioritize the factors staff can change or influence and, in I-D, list the key factors that are within the school's capacity to change or control which contribute to low achievement that are based on inferences from assessment or other data. These key factors will be addressed through the strategies and activities in the action plan (Section II). "ensuring the greatest likelihood" Logical process of data analysis To determine the specific areas of weakness To hypothesize the key factors For reasonable strategies and activities SECTION II - Action Plan OBJECTIVES (SMART Goals) The objectives should address the areas of deficiency STRATEGIES AND ACTIVITIES (How do we make the SMART goals happen?) Students: What needs to happen in the classroom (or elsewhere) to affect learning to achieve this objective/smart goal? What do you expect to see students demonstrating? Professional development: What professional development will staff need? What do you expect to see teachers doing? Parent Involvement: Is there a parent involvement policy? What activities are needed for parents/community? What do you expect to see parents doing? RESOURCES IDENTIFIED MONITORING DIP Objectives The objectives must promote continuous and substantial progress to ensure that students in each subgroup meet the State's target. Each objective must be written to identify the current achievement level and specific, measurable outcomes in terms of AYP and AMAO and special education compliance to be achieved for each year of the two required years of the plan. The objectives must be clear and tightly focused on the fundamental teaching and learning issues that have prevented the district from making adequate yearly progress or maintaining special education compliance. The objective should not be written to target performance that is less than Safe Harbor or AYP or AMAO; areas of deficiency must be clearly indicated. SMART GOALS (Objectives) •What are they? •Why use them? •How do you write them? 24 Why SMART Goals? Goals are something that you want to achieve in the future SMART goals assist in "getting focused" on what to focus efforts toward SMART goals help define exactly what the "future state" looks like and how it will be measured SMART goals show others how their work "aligns" and relates to the focus of the school What Are SMART GOALS? S pecific, strategic M easurable A ttainable R esults-oriented T ime-bound How To Write SMART Goals/Objectives the "big, critical-few" goals that Identify need to be worked on (The Most Important Ones!) Consult the data! What are the greatest areas in need of improvement? Dig deep and get specific (disaggregate!) If all you did was spend time on the identified SMART goals, would the time be well-spent? A Word about Objectives-- How to write SMART Goals A performance target in terms of student achievement aligned to the area of deficiency A global target addressing all AYP deficiencies Focused on learning for All or Subgroups Objectives= SMART Goals Identify current achievement level and specific, measurable outcomes in terms of AYP target or beyond for each year of the plan. Clear and tightly focused on the fundamental teaching and learning issues preventing the school from making AYP or meeting your school's achievement target. Promote continuous and substantial progress to ensure that students in each subgroup make AYP or your school's achievement target. Smart Goal Format Current level of performance we will action verb object so that which and how named students will demonstrate level of performance or behavior as evidenced by measuring device by when Examples: While current achievement in reading for Hispanic students in Grade 11 is 41.3%, and Economically Disadvantaged students in Grade 11 is 37.6% meeting/exceeding standards as defined by District 88 Report Card, both subgroups will make AYP of at least 70% in 2009, and 77.5% in 2010, or Safe Harbor. The low income participation rate in mathematics, currently at 84%, will be raised to at least 95% of the students participating in the 2010 and 2011 ISAT. While our current achievement in reading for grade 5 shows 42% of our students in the Meets/Exceeds categories, the fifth grade will make AYP of at least 77.5 % in 2010 and 85% in 2011. (Other subgroups such as low income or Hispanics could be included in the strategies and activities for this objective.) Examples: Title III PROFICIENCY (AMAO) Currently, ___ of the district's ELL students attained proficiency on ACCESS; 10% of the district's ELL students will attain proficiency on ACCESS for 2010 and 2011. [Title III PROGRESS] In 2008, only ___ of the district's ELL population made progress on the ACCESS; 85% of the district's ELL population will make progress on the ACCESS for 2010 and 2011. Example – Special Education Indicator 13 Our goal is to ensure that each student over age 14 who is enrolled in the district has a transition plan that links measurable outcomes with linkages to outside agencies that may be able to provide assistance to the student after graduation We will utilize the transition checklist to review the thoroughness and appropriateness of transition plans designed for each of our students with disabilities Indicator 13 We will coordinate our work with our managing special education cooperative, CASE that the transition data has been received and accurately entered in our FACTS system. We will continue to provide staff development and training relative to indicator 13 for our professional staff and case managers. We will provide a questionnaire for our students and parents as a part of our annual needs survey conducted through our cooperative with regard to the level of satisfaction connected to transition information and services provided. The district's transition plan information had not been entered into the FACTS system correctly therefore causing the district to be found non-compliant for Indicator 13.. Sample Our current AMOA performance is 81.4% of making progress in English. We will make AMOA of at least XXX% in 2010 and XX% in 2011 as measured by ACCESS using the WIDA standards to provide access to the reading standards and monitoring the interventions outlined in the Action Plan. (DIP Plan only) While our current achievement in reading for Hispanic students is 34.7% meeting/exceeding for ISAT/PSAE, this subgroup will make AYP of at least 77.5% in 2010 and 85% in 2011 as measured by ISAT/PSAE by providing access to the reading standards and monitoring the interventions outlined in the Action Plan. SMART Goals Involve the entire school – not just a grade level or department Key words: How many? How much? By when? Practice Writing SMART Goals… 36 Improve This Goal… Every student will show evidence of one year of growth in mathematics each year in attendance. SPECIFIC - MEASUREABLE - ATTAINABLE - REALISTIC - TIME-BOUND Original: Every student will show evidence of one year of growth in mathematics each year in attendance. SMART GOAL: During the 2009-2010 school year, all students will improve their math problem- solving skills as measured by a 1.0 year gain in national grade equivalent growth from the 2008- 2009 to the 2009-2010 ITBS math problem solving sub test. Improve This Goal… Students will show one year's growth in Reading as measured by ISAT. SPECIFIC - MEASUREABLE - ATTAINABLE - REALISTIC - TIME-BOUND Original: Students will show one year's growth in Language Total as measured by ITBS. SMART GOAL: During the 2009-2010 school year, students at Sample School who non-proficient in reading as measured by ISAT will meet or exceed the AYP target of 77.5% meeting or exceeding on ISAT or Safe Harbor. (or set your own target if you already exceed the AYP target) At your table… begin to identify the goal areas for your district – AYP, AMAO, Special Education -Practicing writing SMART Goals 41 Strategies and Activities - Students What needs to happen in the schools and classrooms (or elsewhere) to affect learning to achieve the objective/smart goal? What do you expect to see students doing? How will you monitor for effectiveness and sustainability? Strategies and Activities – Professional Development What professional development will staff need? Be expected to implement? What do you expect to see teachers doing? How will you monitor for effectiveness and sustainability? Strategies and Activities – Parent Involvement Does your district have a parent involvement policy? What activities are needed for parents/community to support student achievement? Look at the Joyce Epstein research that supports community nad parent involvement. What do you expect to see parents doing? How will you monitor for effectiveness and sustainability? SECTION III - Plan Development, Review, and Implementation Stakeholder Involvement District's Responsibilities State's Responsibilities Parent Notification Describe how the school has provided written notice about the school's academic status identification to parents of each student, in a format and, to the extent practicable, in a language that the parents can understand. (Only Title I schools are required to do this.) Stakeholder Involvement Describe specifically how stakeholders (including parents, school and district staff, and outside experts) have been consulted in the development of the plan. District Responsbility It is the district's responsibility to ensure that scientifically based, researched methods and practices are at the core of the plan. Districts need to make sure that—at minimum—that school level curriculum, assessment, and instruction are aligned to IL Learning Standards. Districts must ensure that professional development funds are used in Title I schools for needed improvement. The superintendent's posting or submission of the Illinois e-Plan certifies that the district with board approval has reviewed the plan to these ends. District Responsibility Specify the services and resources the district has provided to revise the plan and other services the district will provide toward implementation of strategies and activities. District responsibilities include providing schools technical assistance that must include data analysis, identification of the district's challenges in implementing professional development requirements, the resulting need- related technical assistance and professional development to effect changes in instruction, as well as analysis and revision of the district's budget ensuring that funds provided under Title I and Title III supplement, not supplant, non-federal funds, and ensuring that services provided with these funds are comparable with the services in schools that are not receiving funds under Title I. .) State Responsibility Specify the services and resources that ISEB, REPSRO, and other service providers have provided the school during the development and review of this plan and other services that will be provided during the implementation of the plan This may include ISBE technical assistance projects such as Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS), Children Have Opportunities to Inclusive Community Environments and Schools (CHOICES), Illinois Autism Training and Technical Assistance Project (IATTAP), Parent Educator Partnership (PEP), Illinois Service Resource Center (ISRC), and Transition Outreach Training for Adult Living (TOTAL).

Divine Bovine
... near as good as what we had today, which appeared to be prepared in a traditional style that highlighted the beef's unique and delicious characteristics. We were left in awe of this Divine Bovine, and the experience of dining at a Japanese steakhouse.
While Kobe is a neat city that is definitely nice to visit, it's worth coming here simply for the type of experience that we had at Ishida. Hell, it's worth coming all the way to Japan just to sample such fine ass ...
A Rainy Day at the MOMAK
... not at the top of my list. It's a good thing mother nature forced me inside for a bit, though.
My first stop was the Handicraft Museum because I wanted to learn how kimonos were made. After searching for the elusive museum within a large building, I approached a table with women dressed in kimonos. It looked as if an exposition were going on, so I pointed to it and asked "museum"? "Sorry, business parters only" One woman said. Embarrassed, my face ...
Off to Japan we go.
... was awkward. But at least I got another 30 minutes beauty sleep. When we get off the train at Kyoto station the time is about 12:30. We walk to our hotel expecting to be able to check in and have shower and brush our teeth because we hadn't done that for around 30 hours. We stank. But because we couldn't check in early because they were still cleaning our rooms we had to leave our luggage and go and get some food and drinks and we got to have a look around Kyoto state ...

This is where we will exchange our rail slips for a rail pass booklet so all JR trains are free. A woman at the JR Rail Centre reserved seats for us on the Narita Express and the Train to Shin-Osaka. She told us to get off at Shinagawa and switch to the Hikari train #523 to Shin Osaka. It was an express train and only took an hour. ...
Kobe, Day 4
... sake in which I, of course, didn't participate, people headed to the restaurant. The food was great and I can't even count the number of courses we had! Later research showed that the dinner was a fine example of kaiseki, Japanese haute cuisine. Multiple small dishes, containing various beautifully garnished foods were brought to the tables by kimono-clad hostesses. Maran was so busy documenting ...

Los Angeles Hockey: Matt Duchene
Kings: Avs heavily out-shot but still win, 3-2
October, 30, 2011
By Dan Arritt | ESPNLosAngeles.com
Michael Martin/NHLI via Getty ImagesScott Parse scored one of the Kings' two goals Sunday, but it wasn't enough in Colorado.Colorado Avalanche 3, Kings 2
Eight keys to the game:
THE FACTS: The Kings out-shot the Avalanche, 32-16, but gave up a short-handed goal and another on a power play courtesy of a bad bounce. They eventually gave up the game-winner with just over 18 minutes remaining at Pepsi Center in Denver, ending a five-game winning streak against Colorado.
THE STAT: The Kings allowed the fewest shots on goal since Phoenix totaled 15 in 2-0 victory at Staples Center in January. When the Kings out-shoot their opponent this season, they're 1-3-1.
TURNING POINT: With the score tied, 2-2, early in the third period, the Kings committed a turnover in the neutral zone and Matt Duchene recovered the puck. He skated right at Kings defenseman Drew Doughty as he entered the offensive zone, shot the puck through Doughty's legs and beat goalie Jonathan Quick up high for a 3-2 lead.
HOT: The Kings scored twice on the power play to improve to nine for 38 this season (23.6 percent), moving them into the top 10 in the league in that category.
NOT: Justin Williams started the season on fire, scoring seven points in the first five games, but he went without a point for the fifth straight game against Colorado. Williams hadn't gone five consecutive games without a point since March 2010.
GOOD MOVE: Scott Parse continues to pick up the slack for Simon Gagne, who missed his second consecutive game because of a mid-body injury. Parse scored the first goal for the Kings, whacking the puck out of the air with a swing of his stick. Parse had two goals on the three-game trip and six points in his last nine regular-season games dating to last season.
BAD MOVE: Less than a week after mysteriously choosing to sit Quick during his three-game shutout streak and with plenty of rest between games, Kings coach Terry Murray opted to play Quick in back-to-back road games this weekend. Murray didn't get the result he hoped for when backup Jonathan Bernier lost to the Devils last week, and Quick wasn't exactly on top of his game on the trip, giving up nine goals in three games. He was lucky the Avalanche didn't score more, as twice the puck got behind him during the third period, but Colorado couldn't capitalize.
NOTABLE: The Avalanche won on their home ice for the first time since March 24 … The Kings scored both their power-play goals after Dustin Penner drew a minor penalty … The Avalanche, who came in with the No. 1 power-play unit in the NHL, took a 2-1 lead with the man advantage when the puck took a bad bounce while skidding along the dasher boards. Quick had gone behind the net to trap the puck, but it kicked off the boards and went right in front of the net, where Milan Hejduk scored before Quick could get back into position.
UP NEXT: Thursday vs. the Edmonton Oilers at Staples Center, 7:30 p.m.

I use him alot and hear there is a left flamingo unblockable kick. How do i unlock it and use it?
5 years ago
Sorry i dont know how that happend i meant to say, how do u unlock and use his left flamingo kick.
5 years ago
Also how can u unlock all of his moves and other peoples?
5 years ago
What are you talking about? There is no moves you have to unlock. To find the kick your looking for just look in Hwoarang's command list.
5 years ago
Well believe it or not ,one time i was playing with lars and used this move(<-- + circle) and then he did some kind of follow up when i pressed circle again.I looked it up in the command list and it wasn't there.so i guess some characters might have some kind of secret move,you just have to figure it out.
Hope this helps
5 years ago
Lars' b+4 is his knee attack. When you use this attack and it lands as a counter hit he will choke the enemy with lightning, it's not because you pressed circle again. There are no unlockable moves but there are secret moves and there is a guide in the faq section for hidden moves and also links within that faq to a topic on the boards which covers a lot of them. There are also videos on Youtube.

removing from the substrate surface the unfused coating material.
5. The product made by the process of claim 4.
This application is a continuation-in-part of my co-pending U.S. application Ser. No. 160,978, filed June 19, 1980, and entitled "Defect-Free Photomask" now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a technique for producing and repairing reticles and photomasks useful in the fabrication of integrated circuits and related devices. More particularly, this invention in one embodiment relates to a technique for producing defect-free photomasks.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Photosensitive resist materials play an important part in the production of monolithic circuits. The use of such photoresist materials is based on their capability in permitting the "engraving" of circuit patterns of specific dimensions in a predetermined monolithic substrate material, as for instance silicon. This is effected by means of a photolithographic process where a two-dimensional pattern corresponding to the circuit design is first imaged on the photoresist coated substrate surface by employing a suitable exposure mask. Through a subsequent developing process, the desired resist patterns are obtained on the substrate surface. In this process, the photoresist serves as a protective system for those areas of the substrate surface that have not been bared by the preceding photolithographic process.
According to their interaction with light, photoresist systems are classified into negative-working and positive-working systems. A negative-working photoresist is one which after exposure is insoluble in a (developing) solvent, whereas the unexposed resist areas are dissolved by the "developer." As a result bared, unprotected areas are obtained on the substrate surface which correspond to the opaque or dark areas on the photomask. In a positive-working resist the photoresist is altered under exposure in such a manner that it is subsequently soluble in the developer. The exposed areas of the resist film are removed during developing, and the bared unprotected areas on the substrate surface correspond to the transparent areas on the photomask. As can be readily appreciated, in either the negative-working or positive-working microphotolithographic systems, the quality of the mask is of vital importance. The mask, like a photographic negative, (or positive) will duplicate any flaw or defect onto the photosensitive resist film.
Defects that reduce the quality of the mask and their yields can be devided into two major categories. The first category is that of opaque defects. These defects obstruct the passage of light preventing the exposure of the photoresist. There have been several methods applied to deal with opaque defects. One such process is to isolate the defect with the aid of a photoresist coating. The resist film protects the adjacent geometries leaving the defect exposed. The defect is then subjected to an etchant that removes it from the mask. Another method employs a laser beam focused onto the defect area, striking the defect with sufficient energy to vaporize it from the substrate. These techniques are commonly used and are adequate in their function. The other major category of defects, that of clear defects, occurs when the geometric pattern of the mask has been interrupted because of loss of material. This allows the exposure of the photoresist in undesired areas.
In an attempt to repair these clear defects, a variety of opaquing techniques have been attempted. In one such process an operator manipulating a tool such as a fine paint brush under a microscope, attempted to apply an opaquing fluid to the damaged part of the mask. This technique is time consuming and has limited application. A further process is one of deposition of a chrome film onto the missing pattern. This is a lengthy and involved procedure that gives inconsistent results.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide a process that will produce an opaque layer having selected characteristics on the surface of a transparent substrate.
Another object of the invention is to provide a process for repairing transparent defects in the opaque portions of a photomask.
The objects of the invention are achieved by applying a coating that absorbs radiant energy onto a surface of a transparent substrate and then utilizing a laser beam or other source of intense radiant energy to fuse the coating and substrate surface in selected areas. The laser beam provides a source of controlled, localized thermal energy which is passed through the substrate and onto the coating at the interface between the substrate and the coating. The result is that the thermal energy applied to the coating produces a baking of the coating onto the substrate as well as a skin melting of the substrate surface closest to the coating. This baking action, in effect, alters the glass surface from a smooth finish to an irregular one consisting of a mixture of the substrate material and coating material which is capable of interrupting the transmission of light.
Skin-melting of metallic surfaces is described in detail in U.S. Pat. No. 4,122,240, the relevant areas of which are incorporated herein by reference. This surface "damage" is significant enough to scatter or otherwise interfere with the passage of light through the affected portion of the device when it is used in a subsequent microlithographic process. This opaquing technique when used in the repair of clear defect areas in reticles or photomasks, closes such defect areas so as to allow the repaired substrate to be effectively used in further processing operations.
These and other objects of the present invention will become more apparent in light of the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments thereof as illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
FIG. I is an illustration of the visual appearance of three common types of clear defects in a chrome mask (10� reticle);
FIG. II shows a higher magnification of a clear intrusion into an opaque pattern seen in FIG. I;
FIG. III shows a higher magnification of a broken geometric pattern seen in FIG. I;
FIG. IV shows a higher magnification of a pinhole defect seen in FIG. I;
FIG. V is an illustration of the visual appearance of the defect areas after repair process is completed;
FIG. VI shows the defect area in FIG. II having a different surface character after the repair process is completed;
FIG. VII shows the defect area in FIG. III having a different surface character after repair process is completed;
FIG. VIII shows the defect area in FIG. IV having a different surface character after repair process is completed;
FIG. IX is an illustration of the visual appearance demonstrating the opacity of the invention. Using the repaired 10� reticle shown in FIG. V, a 1� photomask was produced without the defects in FIG. I;
FIG. X is a microphoto of treated area;
FIG. XI is a higher magnification of FIG. X; and
FIG. XII is an illustration of the process of the present invention.
A process for forming a defect-free photomask overlying a substrate transparent to radiant energy which comprises applying to a photomask or reticle containing clear defects, a coating material which absorbs radiant energy, directing a beam of coherent or other intense radiant energy through the substrate onto the coating in the clear defect areas so as to fuse the coating and substrate at their interface and form an opaque mixture thereof in the irradiated areas, thereby eliminating the defect in the photomask, and then removing from the photomask surface any unfused coating material.
The coating applied to the defect-containing photomask may be any coating material that absorbs (does not substantially transmit) radiant energy. Its function is to trap and contain the radiant energy which is passed through the substrate material from the source and to convert that energy into heat. This conversion desirably occurs at the interface of the coating and the substrate such that the heat trapped at this interface fuses the coating and the substrate surface. It should be understood that, in cases where the coating is essentially organic in nature, such fusion will, in fact, be more in the form of degradation and carbonation (of the coating) resulting in a highly carbonized residue on the substrate. Inorganic coatings typically will also be fused (melted) but may be preliminarily unaffected if of sufficiently high melting point. In either case, i.e., organic or inorganic coating materials, the heat generated from the beam of radiant energy causes a surface (skin) melting of the substrate material and a concurrent mixing of the melted, degraded or unaffected coating. The end result of such process is that a treated substrate surface results comprising, in the case of organic coatings and inorganic coatings subject to melting in the process, a melted or thermally degraded layer overlying a mixed layer of organic coating/substrate which in turn overlies the "skin-melted" substrate. As disclosed above, the inorganic coatings may be unaffected by the interface heat and, as such, the treated areas of the substrate will be substantially two layers, an inorganic coating/substrate mix overlying a skin-melted substrate layer. In either coating system, however, it has been found that to be effective in obscuring the clear, defect-containing areas, i.e., in changing such areas from clear to opaque, the treated area (coating and substrate mixture) must be at least 400 A in thickness. Lesser treatment must be of sufficient opacity in the mask to be effective for the purpose intended. Any thickness in excess of 400 A is therefor satisfactory but economics, e.g., time of repair, etc., become increasingly important as treatment depths increase. Preferably the depth of treated area is 5,000 to 20,000 A, most preferably 10,000 A to 15,000 A.
The coating material should be applied to the substrate in sufficient thickness to act as a barrier to the radiant energy beam supplied by the laser and, as such, can be of any thickness as long as the trapped energy is converted into heat sufficient to effect melting of the substrate surface. In typical coherent energy sources, with power outputs of 50 to 300 microjoules, satisfactory coating thicknesses have been found to be about 300 A to about 500 microns, preferably 800 A to 100 microns, most preferably 5 to 35 microns. While power outputs of greater intensity than disclosed herein are capable of producing the desired fused, opaque areas, the amount of thermal energy generated is of such character and intensity as to possibly disrupt adjacent photomask geometries.
On removing the unaffected coating material, a radiation-treated area that is more opaque than the untreated areas results. In cases where the coating is applied to defect-containing areas in a photomask, such greater opacity does not materially affect the subsequent use of the photomask for imaging. However, where the photomask itself is created by the irradiating operation, as described below, a photomask of sharper image formation occurs.
The coatings found of particular use in the process of this invention include those generally known to those skilled in the art as laquers, paints and varnishes, and encompass both the organic and inorganic type coatings normally used for decorative finishing or protective purposes. Such include, for example, enamels, glazes, intremescent coatings, mastics, polishes, waxes, stains, and dyes. The coatings primarily of an organic nature useful herein are those based on styrene butadiene, latexes, starch polymers, cellulose ethers and esters, rosin and modified rosins and resins, urea and melamine resins, vinyl resins and vinyl emulsions. The coatings primarily of an inorganic nature useful herein are those employing pigments of iron oxide, copper and copperous oxide, lead, lead oxide and salts thereof, zinc oxide and salts thereof, titanium dioxide, chrome, chromic oxide and salts thereof, antimony and antimony oxide, aluminum and aluminum oxide, and diatomaceous earth. Metals such as silver, silver oxide and salts thereof, nickel and nickel oxide and salts thereof, gold, gold oxide and salts thereof, mercury, mercury oxide and salts, magnesium, magnesium oxide and salts thereof, lithium, rubidum, cesium, gallium, indium, and thallium. Preferably, the inorganic coatings contain a form of granular cargon, e.g., lampblack, furnace black, carbon black, animal, vegetable and mineral blacks or graphite, most preferably chromic oxide. However, it should be noted that the actual molecular composition of the opaque coatings herein are not critical as long as the coating functions to trap sufficient thermal energy so as to "melt" and fuse the coating/substrate interface as described above. Similarly, the substrates of use herein are typically those employed in the present semiconductor technology and include glass, quartz, silicon, germanium, sapphire, etc. The main criteria for such being only that it be transparent to the radiant energy utilized in the process.
A further embodiment of the present invention contemplates a process for forming a substantially defect-free photomask overlying a substrate transparent to radiant energy which comprises applying to the transparent substrate a coating which absorbs radiant energy; directing a beam of radiant energy through the substrate onto the absorbing coating in a predetermined photomask pattern; fusing the coating/substrate interface; and removing from the substrate surface the unfused coating material. A photomask pattern is thereby provided on the substrate surface without requiring the use of the usual prior art techniques of first coating the substrate surface with a photoresist material, exposing such photoresist through a mask, etc., to obtain a photomask on the surface of a substrate. The radiant energy sources presently available are, of course, readily programmable so as to move in a predetermined (computer-controlled) pattern to effect the desired layout of opaque areas on the substrate surface.
In the following example, the radiant energy generating source is a Florod Manual Zapper I Model LMT. This equipment utilizes a Xenon laser tube which produces a beam that travels down through a microscope top objective. A variable aperture system controls the beam size (1-25 microns) and produces the desired power levels.
A defective reticle (10� mask) was manufactured with a chromium film and a sodalime glass substrate (3"�3"�.060"), FIGS. I, II, III and IV. The defective area was coated with a fluid comprised of 50% isopropyl alcohol and 50% titanium dioxide pigment. The coating was applied by means of a cotton swab and allowed to dry. (Coating thickness varied between 35 microns to 45 microns.) Coherent radiation from the laser was applied to the defective portion of the mask, the laser beam size being 15 microns in diameter at 5 pulses a second with each pulse lasting for one microsecond, the power supply being set at 3,000 volts to generate approximately 40 electron volts in the laser tube. The glass surface was then cleaned with acetone and examined under a microscope. The results shown in FIGS. V, VI, VII and VIII show that the glass surface and the coating material have fused and intermingled giving a highly opaque surface.
The reticle was next subjected to a cleaning process. It was subsequently submerged in chromic acid for 30 minutes at 45� C. in an attempt to remove the residue. The adhesion of the material to the glass was found to be good through the cleaning processes.
Using a film thickness analyzer (Tencore Alpha Step) the surface texture was examined. The resulting measurement determined that the laser burned valleys into the glass surface up to 5,000 A. It was also observed that the treated area formed a "coating" approximately 10,000 A thick on the substrate (FIGS. XI and XII).
The reticle was then mounted into a David Mann/GCA 3095 Photorepeater. This equipment used a 10� reduction lens and a 350 watt Merc Arc Lamp to produce ultraviolet light at 436 nanometers. This optical system reduces the image on the reticle ten times, projecting it onto a photoresist coated substrate. It is used here to test the opacity of the treated area. An exposure matrix was performed to test this interaction under different exposures. An exposure series was started at one second, progressing to five seconds in half second intervals with a light intensity of 225 mw/cm2 at the image plane. Under both low and high exposures, the surface treatment of the present invention shielded the photoresist from light. FIG. IX illustrates the results with a nominal exposure time of two seconds.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various alterations and modifications in form and detail may be made therein. Accordingly, it is intended that the following claims cover all such alterations and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

text: Rocker Ricky Wilson was prescribed anti-anxiety medication as he battled nerves and severe dizzy spells before his first live show as a coach on the U.K. version of The Voice. The Kaiser Chiefs frontman joined the panel for the series' third run earlier this year (14), alongside fellow newcomer Kylie Minogue and original panellists will.i.am and Sir Tom Jones. He fared well in the pre-recorded part of the series, but he was overcome with crippling nerves when the shows went live in March (14). Wilson's condition became so bad, his doctor prescribed him anti-anxiety pills to take before going on air. He tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "I went to the doctors because I was dizzy and the doctor said, 'You are a bit anxious.' Every time I stood up I thought I was going to fall over. "I was given tablets which I pretended to take - I thought they might do something weird." Instead of taking the pills, Wilson relied on support from Jones and Minogue: "They were constantly there. When I was flagging emotionally, Kylie would point out the cameras to give me a steer. "It took every ounce of strength to get on with it but my fears went as soon as the camera was rolling."

Chess.com ; i never know if im playing an honest person or someone who is using research to beat me. This brings me to question the whole rankings and rating system.. My first 51 games here i didnt even use the analyse option becausei thought it was cheating and it would have helped my game immeasureably ..now i find out that all is fair on here,, or so it seems..I suspect old masters would not approve of some of these tactics...
"Im seriously thinking ..." Why not lighten up?
Play live chess.
Old masters would have used more than an analysis board in correspondence play. They'd also be using books, magazines, or any other publications to research an opening or their opponent's play.
You can play live speed chess (not impossible to cheat, but certainly less likely IMO) or play in over the board tournaments. Because analysis boards were never illegal (even pre-computer era), this isn't the only site you'd be worrying about these things.
Good point i should lighten up who said life is fair and low tar cigarrettes were the worst. im just saying rankings and ratings are skewed due to these tactics... i wonder how far its taken some individuals. And when does research cross the line and become something else.. Live chess bravo!!
Yes I see what you mean. That's why online ratings are just for fun. Believe me no one goes to a tournament and brags about their online rating. OTB ratings take precedence for the reasons you listed and a few more.
just wonder if you could have a division of chess players online who are sworn to honesty and limited to old fashion rules and tactics, with maybe an analyze option thrown in ..
You can only find that through friends in real life, which defeats the purpose because you can just play with them in person.
For me the idea of playing online is for fun and to learn. I learn regardless of what means my opponent chooses to make their moves. I'm not sure why your that concerned about it but as you are, simply don't play it then and lessen your worries. It's the internet, we have very limited methods to control or observe other users behavior like how they make their chess moves. So why bother worrying about it and focus on improving your own play instead? :)
i cant think of another game where it wouldnt matter if opponents use unfair advantages to win so why wouldnt it matter in online chess.
Because if someone did happen to use an unfair advantage how would it prevent you from improving your own chess ability? To me, winning or losing doesn't make a difference, specifically with chess online, I'm just here to improve which has nothing to do with the actual game result. If your that worried about winning then I wouldn't play chess online at all and just play over the board when you can face your opponent and see them to ensure they are playing fairly.
If anything I would say that use of the analysis tool in CC chess would be encouraged rather than seen as cheating. I use it frequently during CC games and have never considered it to be cheating. The board simply offers a way for you to study your current position, it's not like it gives you computer analysis (which would obviously be cheating)
It's no different from the old chess by mail system where people would have the board set up at home and look at continuations whilst waiting for an opponent to respond.
I'm not sure how it skews your rating either. Your CC and Live / OTB ratings are likely to be different. You tend to find people have a higher CC rating than anything else due to the time it allows for thinking and analysis. It's still an accurate rating, just of a different type of chess. Or bullet where you are rated on almost no time to think at all.
Apples and oranges.

DEFINITION of 'Marginal Revenue Product - MRP'
The change in revenue that results from the addition of one extra unit when all other factors are kept equal. The marginal revenue product is used in marginal analysis to examine the effect of variable inputs, such as labor, and follows the law of diminishing marginal returns. As the number of units of a variable input increase, the revenue generated by each addition unit decreases at a certain point. It is calculated by taking the marginal product of labor and multiplying it by the marginal revenue of a firm.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Marginal Revenue Product - MRP'
The marginal revenue product is different than the marginal product in that it is not a measure of quantity but a measure of revenue. The MRP is often used to calculate the affect of adding employees, as companies want to add employees up to the point at which additional labor won't bring in enough revenue to cover costs.

Peugeot targets urban commuters with AE21 Hybrid electric bike
By Darren Quick
July 14, 2013
European automakers aren't averse to producing vehicles of the two-wheeled, pedal-powered variety. BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz all offer a range of bicycles, with most also adding electric bikes to their line ups in recent years. Peugeot is no exception and recently previewed its latest ebike, the AE21 Hybrid, at the "Who's Next" show in Paris.
Peugeot actually began manufacturing bikes in 1882 and only branched out into internal combustion engine-powered automobiles in 1890 after dabbling with a three-wheeled steam-powered car the previous year. The car and bike divisions were split in 1926, with Cycles Peugeot building up an impressive racing heritage thanks to the sponsoring of various events and riders. In 2011, Peugeot revealed plans to revamp and relaunch the Cycles Peugeot brand in a partnership with Cycleurope.
Set to join Peugeot's Allure line, the AE21 is a compact ebike aimed at urban commuters with a design that integrates a lithium-ion battery into the bike's aluminum Clever Case frame. This also provides space at the center of the bike for a laptop bag and ABUS Bordo folding lock. To allow the bike to be stored against a wall, the bike also features folding handlebars and pedals.
While the bike previewed at the "Who's Next" show last week had the electric motor located in the front wheel, a Peugeot representative told us that when the bike is commercially launched in September at the Salon Du Cycle in Paris there will be two versions: one with the wheel hub motor and another with a belt-drive motor. Both will also be offered with two, as yet undisclosed, battery capacities. The battery can be recharged while still on the bike, or removed so it can be recharged inside while the bike waits outside.
Pricing for the AE21 is yet to be announced.

Peugeot was founded in 1810 and in fact they produced coffee grinders and bicycles before cars existed.

Might even complete the set with an electric bicycle.RJB

Why do car companies think they can re-invent the bicycle? And why do they want to?Julian Bond
15th July, 2013 @ 11:12 pm PDT
re; Julian Bond
The purpose of every competently run mass market business is to make money by providing a more cost effective service or product; what they produce is secondary. However if your nameplate will have fools handing over ridiculous sums of money for any product carrying it. Why not?
As for this bicycle someone in the company either a senor executive or someone with access to a metal working shop wanted a cargo box on the center of the frame and some people thought it was a good idea. Given the thing is still on the market apparently it was.Slowburn

Finding an 'open' circuit in house wiring
I have a 120 vac duplex outlet to feed the cloths washer. It appears to be the only outlet on a 20 amp circuit breaker. That is there are no known other outages, lights in the laundry room work.
Problem: No power at duplex outlet
Check: verified no power with tester at duplex outlet and at the wires connected to the duplex outlet.
Check: verified circuit breaker was working, found power at the output terminal labeled as the washer circuit breaker
Next steps? The next most simple may be to check that all circuit breakers have power at their outputs, in case the CBs are mislabeled. If I can not find a faulty CB, trace the wire from the CB panel (in basement) to where it goes through the floor to the first floor laundry room. This will also verify I am checking the correct CB. Seems simple, if the CB is delivering power to the cable and the cable has no power at the outlet end, there must be a break in the wire, right?
It is very unusual to simply have a break in the wire. More likely is a loose connection either at the breaker, the neutral bus, or at the receptacle.
If your house was wired to fairly modern codes, the laundry receptacles (typically only one given cheap builders) is required to be on a 20A circuit not shared with other rooms/uses.
Your methodology seems good. There may be (for some undetermined silly reason) a junction box between the receptacle and the panel. That would be a good place to look. I'd examine carefully all the exposed sections of the cable (including the areas inside the panel and the box with the receptacle) for damage. Just the other day I found a job where someone nicked the conductor near the receptacle (but was hidden inside the insulation.
Thanks I will make a more careful check on the wire connections.
The house is about 30 years old, and built by a custom contractor, proves nothing, with some deluxe features. I did not know it was "code" for a 20A 120 volt service to a laundry room. Of course there is also 240 volt service for the electric cloths dryer. The only thing connected to the troubled outlet is the washer (now running using an extension cord). I haven't checked but I'd guess the typical cloths washer doesn't draw more than 10 amps. But, if one is ironing from the same plug (duplex) the 20A could be best.
"verified no power with tester"
What kind of "tester"?
A digital meter?
Analog meter"
Voltage TIC?
A light bulb?
From what point to what point?
Hot to neutral?
Hot to ground?
Wires rarely break unless damaged (though over the years I have seen a few cables that were bad form the start).
A poor connection is a far more common cause, but you need to have tested with a load to really tell many times.
Thanks for the good ideas. I used a "Square D" circuit tester. It is over 50 years old from the days I was an apprentice electrician...right out of high school. I has a mechanical indicator that comes down a scale so one can see a difference between 120 and 240 say. I used it across the duplex plug wire terminals, then I used my fingers just in case the tester wasn't working. At the CB box I used the tester to touch the CB lug screw and a ground wire randomly selected...not the return wire from the troubled outlet - could also be the problem - thinking an ohm meter to groudn on the return could provide some useful information. Now I can see I need to make sure the lug screw is tight, and better yet to get my test prob on the wire, not the lug screw. My old tester has a sharp test probe that can be used to pierce the wire insulation... I'll get back to this soon.
I am almost certain there is only one circuit run, from the CB box to the plug, but I'll have to trace that out physically to be sure. There is a ground fault CB feeding a bath room nearby. That breaker went bad and in replacing it some months back I may have "jiggled" the subject circuit loose. I like that idea and will focus on that for my next step.
"I used it across the duplex plug wire terminals, then I used my fingers just in case the tester wasn't working."
There is a troubleshooting method from the 1950's when men were men and ground fault protection was used by utilities on primary. If you threw your toaster in the kitchen sink and got killed, you should have known better.
I would use a Greenlee Circuit Seeker.
Plug the transmitter into the outlet. It sends a signal over the conductors.
The receiver(usually a probe) picks up the signal sent from the transmitter. The receiver generates a buzzing noise or activates a light when held close to the conductor with the signal. The stronger the signal, the brighter the light or louder the noise produced.
This will work fine as long as no other circuit is sharing a neutral.
Thanks, I have looked with interest at the rf (I assume) signal generator and tracer. This is the second time in my life I think I would use one if I had one....didn't consider their weak points.
As for the toaster, AMen, I did take care, however, to be sure the path of least electrical resistance was between my index finger and thumb on the same hand.
One simple test I use on a circuit that no longer has power is a continuity test between the neutral and gound wire. If the circuit makes it back to the panel, there should be continuity. If not, then something has interrupted the neutral path back to the panel. Could be a tripped AFCI/GFCI, nine neutrals under an orange wire nut,etc. While there are a number of variables that can affect this simple test, nine times out of ten it gives me an excellent place to start troubleshooting.
Hoping someone here can help. We had a massive electrical surge here two nights ago - tripped several breakers, took out 4 surge protectors (rated 330V), the microwave oven, and a few assorted ac adapters that were plugged directly into outlets. Thankfully, the devices that the surge protectors were designed to protect actually all survived. It also completely blew out GFI 1 (see attached), which I replaced with a new one, and tripped at least one other one.
The remaining situation after cleaning up the mess is that one circuit off a subpanel (see attached drawing) is still partially dead. GFI 1 has line and load power, but GFI 2 has neither. Also the neutral on GFI 2 is 0 ohms to ground, I think indicating that the outage is not being caused by another GFI outlet in the circuit (I haven't found one anywhere either).
Any thoughts?
I agree, a new thread "GFI Trouble Shooting" or similar will attract people knowledgeable in your subject. That said, there is clearly some expert inputs in this thread and as they all get your response you may get something helpful.
Moving forward, I admit I do not understand your diagram. Are you saying you have GFI circuit breakers in your main power box, or are you saying you have remote GFI (such as the GIF receptacle) that in the case of GFI2 has multiple non-GFI receptacles daisy-chained to?
"you have remote GFI (such as the GIF receptacle) that in the case of GFI2 has multiple non-GFI receptacles daisy-chained to" - this is it exactly. GFI1 receptacle has no load on it (other than its own duplex outlet) and is live and working, but GFI2 protects multiple other non-GFI outlets and has no line power to it.
