Dear AKHO
Thanks for your comments
Bulk planer device has shallow implant combined with retrograde
deep implant to prevent punchthrough regard less Vg is on or off.
What do you mean by top 10~20nm is depleted? Intel FinFETs
also have PT implants. Here we are talking about un-doped
Sang kim
Handel Jones says 28nm FD-SOI is an alternate option
for low leakage, high yields and high performance superior
to 28nm bulk technology. Consequently, Samsung
can support low leakage products with its 28nm FD-SOI.
look at the real issues with FD-SOI. My first question is why
28nm FD-SOI is still not manufactured today by major
semiconductor companies because 28nm bulk is manufactured
for several years by major semiconductor companies today
such as Intel, TSMC, Samsung and others.
In un-doped FD-SOI channel here, it is possible for drain depletion to extend with large Vdd(1V) to source without inversion. I call this effect punch-through. Therefore, punch-through failure can occur in un-doped FD-SOI. On the other hand, the drain induced barrier lowering or DIBL leakage current most likely occurs also in un-doped FD-SOI. In order to prevent such DIBL leakage current it is imperative to have an ultra thin SOI channel layer between source and drain so that the drain field can't easily penetrate the ultra thin SOI channel. How thin the ultra thin SOI thickness has to be in order to stop DIBL leakage current? It depends on the channel or gate length, Lg. For shorter Lg, a thinner SOI channel is required. This is the most critical issue for FD-SOI.
For 28nm FD-SOI a 7nm thin SOI channel thickness is required to stop DIBL leakage current. However, the transistor performance becomes significantly degraded due to the transistor mobility degradation because of scattering of charge carriers at the top gate oxide surface and at the bottom SOI surface in the 7nm thin SOI channel. As a result, even if 28nm FD-SOI were manufactured today, it wouldn't be superior to 28nm bulk in terms of transistor performance and manufacturing costs due to significantly higher SOI wafer costs. These are the major reasons why the 28nm FD-SOI is not manufactured today.
The other major issue with FD-SOI is its scalerbility. For
20/22nm FD-SOI a 4~5nm SOI channel thickness is required
to stop DIBL leakage current thus further degrading transistor
mobility. Furthermore, it is extremely difficult to control 4~5nm
SOI channel thickness uniformly and reliably across 12 inch
wafers in the manufacturing line. How thin SOI channel
thickness is required for 14nm FD-SOI technology? 3nm! It
appears that FD-SOI is not scalerble.

"I chose to transfer to Lake Superior State University because of the personal attention I would receive. I did not want to attend a large university where I would be a number lost in the masses. The well-rounded curriculum allowed me to obtain my position at John Deere. Having a good balance of theory and hands-on knowledge is critical for my position and Lake State gave me a good foundation in these skills."

Health CARE Center
Health care services are available on campus! The Health CARE Center offers a wide range of services to our students including treatment of illness, injury, annual physical examinations, immunizations, and allergy injections. The Health CARE Center is staffed by a certified nurse practitioner, physician assistant and a consulting physician. Our providers have prescriptive authority to order a wide range of prescriptions. Services are available Monday through Friday from 8a.m. – 5 p.m. Hours of operation are reduced during the summer semester and University breaks.
Appointments are appreciated but walk-ins are accepted as time permits, for an appointment 635-2110 or on campus ext 2110.
The Health CARE Center does bill and accept most insurance plans for services rendered at the Health CARE Center. We do ask that students present an insurance card at the time of service. For students who maintain three or more credit hours LSSU has created a student health plan to cover services rendered at the Health CARE Center. The majority of onsite services are provided at no out of pocket expense to the student.
An insurance plan is available for the uninsured student which may be purchased; this is separate from the student health plan. Lake Superior State University does not endorse this plan but simply makes it available to the student. Information regarding this plan is available at the Health Care Center.
Note: International students (Ontario students excluded) are required to provide proof of purchased health and accident insurance. If you need insurance, it can be obtained through Student Assurance Services Incorporated. (Information is available at www.sas-mn.com)
Immunizations Recommended: Meningitis, Hepatitis B (series of three) and MMR (2nd dose).
For additional information, please contact the Health CARE Center at 906-635-2110 or visit our website.

Counseling Center
Personal non-clinical counseling support is available to all students enrolled full time at LSSU.
University students are provided with many new opportunities and choices, both academic and social. Everyone from time to time feels overwhelmed by problems that can be difficult to sort out or cope with alone. The professional staff at Counseling Services does not want students to feel alone when in need of support. Our counselors will provide you with approachability, honesty, and information where appropriate and timely, facilitate development of your own insight, and assist you in weighing the consequences of options as you make your own decisions.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

"There is a gradual growing awareness that challenging your brain can have positive effects," Dr. Cohen said... "Every time you challenge your brain it will actually modify the brain," he said. "We can indeed form new brain cells, despite a century of being told it is impossible."
Women's Health:
"I logged on during a break at work and got so hooked I ended up playing their brain games for an hour."
Discover Magazine:
"What's unique: Complex, richly illustrated and thought out brain games with different levels and storylines. Summed up: Very dynamic."
"It's a game playing product but the twist here is that all of the games help exercise and train your brain!"
I LOVED it! But I don't like paying for apps. The five free sessions were super fun and really tricky. However, I don't plan on keeping it because I don't want to upgrade.
This is a fun app but lately I get to the last session and the screen whites out . When you get back into it later l have access to the last part of the previous session...annoying!
Ouch,my brain hurts. I just read that after 5 free sessions , you are asked to pay.thank you for letting me try it , but i don't i'll keep playing. Thanks
Fit Brain Trainer Tests different areas of the brain, and compares results with people of same age. The only problem when I signed in it said I was 30 yo, I tried to change it, because I am 63 yo. Tried different ways to change my age, but was not able to get back to the information page.
Very fun, but... Not free. You get told when your "five free training sessions" have expired, and then youre asked to pay. And while it IS a pretty fun set of brain games, i didnt see anything other than "in app purchases" as a cost disclaimer.
Would buy if I could purchase from app store Really wonderful app and nice to set time of day benchmarks to see when im most keen. However, I am not type ng my google password to buy simply because it is inconvenient. I would rather use existing privileges through play store to purchase.
What's New
Minor bug fixes and optimizations.
Happy Brain Training!

"The app itself is very clean, and performance is excellent."
Wall Street Journal

PC Mag
"I've found the Lumosity training fun, challenging, and—as it only takes 15 or 20 minutes a day—brief enough that it doesn't become a time-sink."

Q.) You have a fox, a chicken and a sack of grain. You must cross a river with only one of them at a time. If you leave the fox with the chicken he will eat it; if you leave the chicken with the grain he will eat it. How can you get all three across safely?
If you want to buy the source Code contact us on firstname.lastname@example.com
This App has a collection of my most interesting and mind-improving brain teasers. Many of the answers should give you a strategy for thinking, which will carry over to many other problems and provide you with thinking and problem-solving methods. There is no time limit for these questions (with exceptions as noted). Be aware that there may be more than one way to arrive at an answer to a question. Just remember, a person who can solve problems efficiently either knows a particular strategy for the type of problem or extract something from the problem that is curious to him or her and that leads to the next step toward a solution.
Tips: Application will first show the Brain Teasers (problem ) only. Take your time to solve the problem by yourself first. After that you can click on Answer button to see the actual answer.
Sample Brain Teaser
Q.) You have a fox, a chicken and a sack of grain. You must cross a river with only one of them at a time. If you leave the fox with the chicken he will eat it; if you leave the chicken with the grain he will eat it. How can you get all three across safely?
Take the chicken over first. Go back and bring the grain next, but instead of leaving the chicken with the grain, come back with the chicken. Leave the chicken on the first side and take the fox with you. Leave it on the other side with the grain. Finally, go back over and get the chicken and bring it over.

The policy has a very simple message for desert kids desperate for a swim on a hot day: If you don't turn up to school, then you don't get to swim with the other kids in the afternoon.
It's a policy which has seen a big uptake in school attendance in other remote communities such as Kintore which built a new pool earlier this year.
Mt Theo Outstation co-ordinator Robbie Wallet who was the first adult in the pool at the opening says the pool is really designed to get school attendance numbers up.
"We need to get our kids educated...At the moment the percentage of attendance is a bit lower than average," says Robbie.
Darren Talbot, the pool manager will work closely with the local school to make sure the policy is administered properly.
"The school will bring down roll sheets and then they'll get a wrist band with their names on it and when they come through here we'll know who they are. We pretty much know who all the kids are so they've got no chance," says Darren.
Apart from the education benefits the school will bring to the local community, the pool will also lead to improved health in reducing ear, nose and throat infections.
Employment opportunities
Ten locals who travelled to Sydney earlier this year to gain their bronze medallion already have employment at the pool as lifesavers.
Pool manager Darren Talbot says this is a great opportunity for the young people.
"For them to have a lifeguard skill behind them if they want to move away from Yuendumu there's another job for them which they can just walk in with their qualifications," says Darren.
One of the new lifesavers, Bruno Wilson, says the pool will deliver education outcomes for the community.
"School is very important, education is the key.
"We'll be opening the pool after school so the more kids who go to school, the more can come to the pool," says Bruno.
Community money
One third of the money for the pool was raised by the community itself with 400,000 dollars in mining royalties from the nearby Granites goldmine going towards the pool.
Former Community President, Harry Nelson, says it was a big decision for the community to combine this money for one project rather than divide it up individually.
"It was a hard decision but after a long discussion among our people we thought it would be good.
"Instead of royalty money going to individuals it will go to the pool which will stay there forever," says Harry.
Other funding for the pool was raised from art sales as well as private donations.

Extra-Sensory Perception for Wireless Networks
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Commodity smartphones and tablet devices now come equipped with a variety of sensors, including accelerometers, multiple positioning sensors, magnetic compasses, and inertial sensors (gyros). In this paper, the authors posit that these sensors can be profitably used to improve the performance of wireless network protocols running on these mobile devices, and introduce the idea of using external sensor hints for this purpose. They focus on mobility hints, including the device's state of motion, speed, direction of movement, and position.

Guided Meditation for Samhain - Sacrifice
Guided meditations permit a fantasy state in which visions are possible. This guided meditation puts you in the viewpoint of the Lord at Samhain, which is the third and final harvest of the year in which he gives his own life in sacrifice to ensure the abundance of next years crops.
Solitary Samhain Activities
If you celebrate Samhain alone, the occasion will be more contemplative than at a party. But nothing can engage your belief in the magic of the season as strongly as your own solitary celebration with no distractions as you experience a sabbat that you have tailored exactly to your own tastes.
Samhain Supper Recipes
Samhain is the doorway into winter when we pagans and Wiccans gather to remember our ancestors, to take stock of the old year, and to welcome the new year. On Samhain night, you want to serve a hearty, warm meal with a light and spicy dessert to follow.
How to Decorate A Samhain Altar
Whether you have one Samhain altar or several, the ways to decorate it are numerous. Your altar can be large or small. As you look ahead to the approach of Samhain, you might want to create an altar in advance based on the following lists of suggestions.
How to Plan Your Samhain Party
Though Samhain is a deeply spiritual and contemplative time for Wiccans, it also marks the new year and is a great time for a party. Here is a sample plan for a house party that you can adapt to your own circumstances to make your Samhain gathering a night to remember.
Full Blood Moon of October
The October full moon is the Blood Moon or Hunters Moon. This month the harvesting turns to hunting to lay away enough food for winter. We celebrate the bond between humans and animals. Work magic for the well-being of pets and livestock. Identify what animal energies you need in your life.
Guided Meditation for Mabon
This guided meditation puts you together with the God at Mabon, which is the second harvest of the year. Here, the Lord wears the persona of the Steward of the Earth. He shows you how to give of your own abundance to increase it tenfold.
How To Decorate A Mabon Altar
The Mabon altar celebrates the bounty of the second harvest, which is root crops and also grapes. Bring out your tiny pumpkins and decorative gourds and let your creativity run wild.
Three Harvest Kings
The three kings of the harvest are different aspects of the God that we see during the sabbats of Lammas, Mabon, and Samhain. Just as the essence of the Goddess is to bring forth life from her womb and rule over springtime, it is the nature of the God to offer himself in the autumn as the Harvest.
Full Harvest Moon of September
The September full moon is the Harvest Moon. This is also the month of the second harvest (root crops) and Mabon sabbat / autumn equinox. This is an extremely busy month for spellwork.

Islam Through Western Eyes
Even if military aggression does not occur, the implications of all this are far-reaching. As mentioned earlier, Islam has uniformly appeared to Europe and the West in general as a threat. Today, the phenomenon is more in evidence than ever before because on the one hand there has been an enormous media convergence upon what has been called the emergence, return or resurgence of Islam, and on the other hand, because parts of the Islamic world--Palestine, Iran, Afghanistan, among other places--which have been undergoing various unequal processes of historical development, have also seemed to be encroaching upon traditional Western (more particularly American) hegemony. The views of the experts and of the media are nearly identical on this. Far from attempting to refine, or even dissent from, the gross image of Islam as a threat, the intellectual and policy community in the United States has considerably enforced and concentrated the image. From Zbigniew Brzezinski's vision of the "crescent of crisis" to Bernard Lewis's "return of Islam," the picture drawn is a unanimous one. "Islam" means the end of civilization as "we" know it. Islam is anti-human, antidemocratic, anti-Semitic, antirational. University scholars whose professional lives are tied to the study of Islam have either been willing collaborators with this state of things, or if they have been silent, their marginality in the culture at large further confirms the fact that in the United States at least, there is no major segment of the polity, no significant sector of the culture, no part of the whole community capable of identifying sympathetically with the Islamic world.
On the other hand, most of the Third World is now fully bathed in U.S.-produced TV shows, and is wholly dependent upon a tiny group of news agencies that transmit news back to the Third World, even in the large numbers of cases where the news is about the Third World. From being the source of news, the Third World generally, and Islamic countries in particular, have become consumers of news. For the first time in history (for the first time, that is, on such a scale) the Islamic world may be said to be learning about itself in part by means of images, histories and information manufactured in the West. If one adds to this fact that students and scholars in the Islamic world are still dependent upon U.S. and European libraries and institutions of learning for what now passes as Middle Eastern studies (consider, for example, that there isn't a single first-rate, usable library of Arabic material in the entire Islamic world), plus the fact that English is a world language in a way that Arabic isn't, plus the fact that for its elite the Islamic world is now producing a managerial class of basically subordinate natives who are indebted for their economies, their defense establishments and for their political ideas to the worldwide consumer-market system controlled in the West--one gets an accurate, although extremely depressing, picture of what the media revolution (serving a small segment of the societies that produced it) has done to Islam.
To the extent that Islam is known about today, it is known principally in the form given it by the mass media: not only radio, films and Tv but also textbooks, magazines and best-selling, high-quality novels. This corporate picture of Islam on the whole is a depressing and misleading one. What emerges is that Ayatollah Khomeini, Col. Muammar e-Qaddafi, Sheik Ahmad Zaki Yamani and Palestinian terrorists are the best-known figures in the foreground, while the background is populated by shadowy (though extremely frightening) notions about jihad, slavery, subordination of women and irrational violence combined with extreme licentiousness. If you were to ask an average literate Westerner to name an Arab or Islamic writer, or a musician, or an intellectual, you might get a name like Kahlil Gibran in response, but nothing else. In other words, whole swatches of Islamic history, culture and society simply do not exist except in the truncated, tightly packaged forms made current by the media. As Herbert Schiller has said, TV's images tend to present reality in too immediate and fragmentary a form for either historical or human continuity to appear. Islam therefore is equivalent to an undifferentiated mob of scimitar-waving oil suppliers, or it is reduced to the utterances of one or another Islamic leader who at the moment happens to be a convenient foreign scapegoat.
We are well past the point of being able to say whether the media or the experts or the governments or the mass audiences are to blame for this state of affairs. With very few exceptions, one is struck by the blinding uniformity of the picture. Perhaps it is true that the state of information that now exists on any subject is as standardized, and as low, as this one; and perhaps also it is true that whatever the experts, the special-interest groups, the manipulators touch they turn into flatness, ignorance and stereotypes. But we must be especially alarmed that whether Islam is depicted on television, or whether it turns up in school textbooks, or whether it appears in best-selling novels by high-class novelists, or whether it's learnedly discussed by an academic expert on Islam (who is still respected in parts of the Arab world), the picture is almost exactly the same. That does not mean that the picture is an inaccurate one; rather, it is a picture; it has the consistency of something made up, not of life; it portrays certain aspects of what Marshall Hodges has called the Islamicate world, but deforms them into a pattern that expresses certain things about a mass-media society, very little about what is referred to as Islam. What is crucially important about this presentation of Islam is the media's ascendancy, their intellectual and perceptual hegemony, over the whole thing, and since the media sell their product to consumers who prefer simplicity to complexity, the uniform image of Islam that emerges is constructed out of much the same material from which history, society and humanity have been eliminated.
What can be done? To begin with, what should be avoided is an attempt to alter, improve, beautify, make more appealing the image of Islam. Such an effort falls into the trap of believing that reductive images can be made substitutes for a very complex reality, and it ends up perpetuating the entire system of ideological fictions by which Islam is made to do service for Western designs upon riches, peoples and territories that happen to call themselves Moslem. A hard and fast distinction has to be made between serious consideration of the Islamicate world and nearly everything that passes for Islam in the media and in all but a few places in the culture. One cannot look for help in promoting serious investigative discussion of Islam--even as a subject of academic inquiry--among traditional Orientalists or within the normally constructed programs of Middle Eastern studies in today's Western universities. On the other hand, younger scholars and students can be extremely useful in carrying work beyond prejudices and constrictions of their elders. And, just as important, a serious interest in the problems of Islamic society and Islamic peoples is very likely to develop not among the Middle East experts, or media people who have a purported specialty in modern Islam, but inside segments of the population who have a wider and more serious view of human problems in general: men and women who are committed not to Orient and Occident but to the cause of human rights, rather than lobbyists who act on behalf of human rights when they are paid to do so; students of comparative literature rather than Semitic philologists who know nothing about other literatures and who care little for the contemporary world; genuinely enterprising sociologists who know something about theory and care a great deal about issues confronting concrete societies, rather than specialists in the Islamic mind or in a monolithic thing called Islamic society. Whatever the person, whatever the field of endeavor, I doubt that there can be any substitute for a genuinely engaged and sympathetic--as opposed to a narrowly political or hostile--attitude to the Islamic world. Indeed, I suspect that only if we get beyond politicized labels like "East" and "West" will we be able to reach the real world at all.
As for what the Islamic, and more especially the Arab-Islamic, world might do, this can be put very simply. There is no longer any excuse for bewailing the hostility of the "West" toward the Arabs and Islam and then sitting back in outraged righteousness. When the reasons for this hostility and those aspects of the "West" that encourage it are analyzed, an important step has been taken toward fighting it, but that is by no means the whole way. Certainly there are great dangers today in actually following, actually fulfilling this hostile image of Islam--and that has only been the doing, it is true, of some Moslems and some Arabs and some black Africans. But such fulfillments underline the importance of what still has to be done. In the great rush to industrialize, modernize and develop itself, the Islamicate world has been compliant about turning itself into a great consumers' market. To dispel the myths and stereotypes of Orientalism, the world as a whole has to be given an opportunity to see Moslems and Orientals producing a different form of history, a new kind of sociology, a new cultural awareness: in short, the relatively modest goal of writing a new form of history, investigating the Islamicate world and its many different societies with a genuine seriousness of purpose and a love of truth. But, alas, we must recognize that even with vast sums of money easily available, the Islamic world as a whole does not seem interested in promoting learning, building libraries, establishing research institutes whose main purpose would be modern scientific attention to Islamic realities and to seeing whether in fact there is something specifically Islamic about the Islamic world.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Pop singing sensation Justin Bieber with the arrival of his 18th birthday has been anxious to shed his "goody two-shoes" image. Posting shirtless pictures of himself on the Internet, Bieber wants the world to know that he's a grown man and not the bubbly teenager of yore. It may have just all backfired - while on tour in Stockholm, the distinctive smell of marijuana was detected on his bus, prompting a police search.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Celebrity
Keywords: Justin Bieber, marijuana, publicity, Anne Frank, nudity, negative publicity
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Reports say that an officer smelled weed coming from Justin's bus, which was parked in front of the Grand Hotel. According to officials, when the bus left the hotel and headed toward the Globe Arena, the officer contacted a special narcotics unit, which issued a warrant to search Bieber's bus.
Authorities searched the bus in the parking garage of the Globe Arena while no one was on board. A small amount of narcotics - unspecified, and not necessarily marijuana, along with a taser was reportedly found.
No suspect has been named and the bus was not impounded.
Bieber had been in the company of Lil Za in the hours before the weed incident. Za is also the man who was seen smoking pot with Bieber at an L.A. home earlier this year.
The "Bieb" can breathe easier as the police say no one will be charged in the incident as they have no idea who was in possession of the drug since the bus was empty. The alleged narcotic was found on the floor of the bus so they have no clue who brought it on.
While Bieber says, "Give me a break, All this isn't easy," he sighed in an open letter to fans he posted on Instagram and then later deleted. "I get angry sometimes. I'm human. I'm gonna make mistakes."
Bieber's mother, single mom Pattie Mallette, says her baby is growing up and she doesn't have much control over him anymore.
Will other recent 'Un-Bieber" like incidents cropping up, there is speculation that this could be the real Bieber emerging after years of cloistered "spin control" - or just another way to keep himself in the headlines.
Among other incidents -- Bieber made world headlines when he seemed to trivialize Anne Frank by suggesting she would have been a "Belieber" if she hadn't been murdered during the Holocaust.
He posted on his Instagram page a cartoon of himself naked in bed with a woman labeled "Belieber." He posted another cartoon of himself naked except for a towel about to fall off. He snapped himself in the gym, shirtless, pants almost completely down, revealing a pair of buttercup yellow briefs.
Seeking maximum exposure - literally - Bieber took off his shirt and dropped his pants in an airport.
Whether these antics will revitalize his career is anyone's guess. There's a good chance Bieber could just wind up as another Lindsay Lohan, a former Walt Disney star who now makes disgraceful headlines - and too few films.
