"Check out my swag yo, I walk like a ballplayer, no matter where you go, you are what you are player & you can try to change but that's just the top layer, man, you was who you was fore you got here…" – Jay-Z Christ
September 25, 2014 I was inspired to do something special. That is the date of Derek Jeter's last game at Yankee Stadium and truth be told I can't believe I just wrote that. The captain of my beloved Yankees was in the midst of his last hoorah as I sat at home kicking myself with regret because I was not at The Stadium. Notice I said The Stadium because everyone with a pulse understands I meant Yankee Stadium; same way when I say The City, I mean New York City but we'll address that later. As the camera pans into the stands, I notice everything from flashing lights, smiles and tears of both joy & sadness. And that is what 9/25/14 was, a culmination of the most celebrated and decorated champion of my city in my lifetime.
A little insight as to why I'm a Yankees fan. My grandfather would watch baseball anytime it was on TV; even those rotten ass NY Mess, I mean Mets. My grandparents had this big screen Zenith television in their room (which is why I love the line "like a 27 inch Zenith, believe it) and I'd watch most, if not all Yankee games with my grandfather, while Phil Rizzuto would do color commentary on WPIX 11 with his signature "Holy cow!" call. My love for the Yankees is deeper than the emblem's ink tatted on my arm; it's a symbol and bond that started with my grandfather that I hope to share with the youngsters in my family one day.
Even though Bernie Williams was/is my favorite baseball player, Derek Jeter was/is the king of NYC in my eyes. The final game had me going up the wall, standing up, hands on my knees, putting the volume up while I go grab a drink, clapping my hands, cursing the umpires & going apeshit as if I were in the stands myself. Then it happened, the Orioles down 3 runs in the top of the 9th inning, hit a 2 run homer then a solo shot to tie the game. My fucking night is ruined, I feel like vomiting, I want to turn the television off, grab a bottle of liquor & listen to music until I pass out. Then it happened again! All cynical bullshit aside, the Yankees who have given me more sports joy than both my other sports teams combined, the stink ass Jets (sorry Dap) and the fucking Knicks (I'll get to those jackasses later). Well these beautiful Yankees have a man in scoring position for Derek Jeter; this shit is straight out of a Disney movie, almost as if God (the funniest nigga ever) wrote the script himself & so I thought, "God wouldn't fuck with me like this, not today, not this way, not with Derek Jeter and then IT HAPPENED AGAIN!
Derek Jeter, the guy who is known as Mr. November, the guy who is known for "the flip" in Oakland, the guy who dove face first into the stands against those asshole Red Sox, was going to go out the only way he should. THAT Jeter, in his final at bat, in his last game ever at The Stadium, the last time anyone would hear Bob Sheppard's voice announce anyone ever, the last time number 2 would be dawned in pinstripes; got the walk off hit. Again, cynics aside because I will not allow you assholes to take that moment away from me, IT HAPPENED. That moment gave me such a feeling, easily the best moment I've enjoyed as a sports fan. How could I dare say that about a regular season game for a team who wasn't going to the playoffs & a franchise that has won 5 championships in my lifetime? Simple, it was a culmination of all the great moments & feelings that Jeter and the Yankees have given me wrapped in one. Indulge me if you will (as if you have a choice cuz you chose to read this). The person you love the most is moving to another country forever; how would you feel? You'd relive every up & down, every emotion they've ever evoked and you'd think with your heart and feel all of this in your mind. Now you see the plane return because of an unforeseen unmitigated disaster, only to have this loved one fix the issue as they always have. Beloved then takes the pilot seat and flies everyone safely to their destination. Get the picture?
What more can I say about Derek Jeter that hasn't been said? I can only strive for excellence in the manner which he excelled, inspire people the way he inspire me to write this book and ultimately be praised a GOD for the years of pristine brilliance is he has. Until I am this GOD, I'll accept who I am…

Effect of Mayo Vs Prometheus on systems medicine patent eligibility
Systems medicine Systems medicine represents the transition of systems biology to a clinical paradigm. Biomedical and biological research has been significantly advanced by a holistic approach to the interaction of components within biological systems. The translation of systems biology to medical outcomes represents the field of systems medicine. Systems medicine has been defined as integrating cellular organisational data by various modelling techniques to assess pathophysiological outcomes. One example is the diagnosis of a disease condition or state based on biomarkers. A clinical translation of such diagnosis can constitute elements of personalised medicine, where pharmacoresponsiveness of a patient is determined prior to selection

Fantastic Apartment With Glorious View!
Apartment was very clean and comfortable with every amenity we could imagine. This included a fridge/pantry stocked with all the breakfast essentials. The view was wonderful from the deck, living area and bedroom. The owners were extremely helpful and very friendly. We mentioned that we looked forward to trying a fresh Castroville artichoke and two appeared in our fridge! They made us feel more like house guests than renters. The location was perfect, giving us easy access to Carmel/Monterrey and Big Sur. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.

Joy in Knowing Jesus:
Reasons to Rejoice in Him
by Eldon DeBoer
Chapter three of Philippians opens with a command:
Chapter three of Philippians opens with a command:
"Henceforth*, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord."
This challenge by the Spirit of God from the hand of the Apostle Paul is built upon the truth of Jesus Christ. The Lord has given us many good reasons to rejoice. As Paul shares his personal testimony in Philippians three, it is clearly evident why he rejoiced. He knew where true inner happiness is found. It is found in knowing Jesus Christ (3:8). Even though life is oftentimes not what we hoped it would be or what we expected it to be, we can rejoice in the Lord because we know Him. (* "Henceforth" is a good translation of the word that is typically translated "Finally" (loipon).)
Jesus said, "I came that they might have life and that they might have it abundantly" (John 10:10b). What did Jesus mean by this declaration? What is an abundant life to you? Certainly it includes happiness, wouldn't you think?
Blaise Pascal, the accomplished mathematician of yesteryear, had some insightful thoughts about happiness and rejoicing:
All men seek happiness. This is without exception. Whatever different means they employ, they all tend to this end. The cause of some going to war, and of others avoiding it, is the same desire in both, attended with different views. The will never takes the least step but to this object. [Happiness] is the motive of every action of every man, even of those who hang themselves.
And yet after such a great number of years, no one without faith has reached the point to which all continually look. All complain, princes and subjects, noblemen and commoners, old and young, strong and weak, learned and ignorant, healthy and sick, of all countries, all times, all ages, and all conditions.
A trial so long, so continuous, and so uniform, should certainly convince us of our inability to reach the good by our own efforts. But example teaches us little. No resemblance is ever so perfect that there is not some slight difference; and hence we expect that our hope will not be deceived on this occasion as before. And thus, while the
present never satisfies us, experience dupes us, and from misfortune to misfortune leads us to death, their eternal crown.
What is it then that this desire and this inability proclaim to us, but that there was once in man a true happiness of which there now remain to him only the mark and empty trace, which he in vain tries to fill from all his surroundings, seeking from things absent the help he does not obtain in things present? But these are all inadequate, because the infinite abyss can only be filled by an infinite and immutable object, that is to say, only by God Himself. (Blaise Pascal, 1623–1662, Thoughts. The Harvard Classics. 1909–14, Section VII, Morality and Doctrine, the SECOND part.—That man without faith cannot know the true good, nor justice. (Brackets and emphasis added.))
It is only in God that we find joy in a world filled with sadness and trouble. This is part of the abundant life that Jesus has promised us.
An Initial Definition of Rejoice and Joy
First of all, we will consider how the Greek words translated rejoice and joy, chairo and chara, bring into view a deep sense of happiness that only comes from the Lord. The command to rejoice is not a directive to have fun or experience surface level happiness. It is much deeper than that.
The Lord frequently commands us to rejoice through the hand of the Apostle Paul. In addition to Philippians 3:1, the following verses also present this challenge (all quotations are from the NASB):
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!
1 Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice always. . .
2 Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, rejoice, be made complete, be comforted, be like-minded, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.
In this verse we are directed join with others in their joy:
Romans 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, . . .
In addition to the three commands to rejoice in Philippians, Paul frequently wrote of rejoicing and possessing joy in this very same letter:
1:18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,
2:17 But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy (sugchairo) with you all.
2:18 You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.
2:28 Therefore I have sent him all the more eagerly so that when you see him again you may rejoice and I may be less concerned about you.
2:29 Receive him then in the Lord with all joy (chara), and hold men like him in high regard;
4:10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity.
Here are additional verses in which chara, the noun translate "joy," is used in Philippians:
1:4 . . . always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all,
1:25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
2:2 . . . make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.
2:29 Receive [Epaphroditus] then in the Lord with all joy, and hold men like him in high regard;
4:1 Therefore, my beloved brethren whom I long to see, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
As the following reasons to rejoice are presented, keep in mind that the joy being addressed is a deep sense of happiness that only comes from the Lord and is only found in Him.
Reason #1: We can rejoice in the Lord Jesus because we know Him. Philippians 3:7-8
From the perspective of religious Jews, Paul had it made. He had position, power and prestige among his people. But then he met Jesus and found out what really mattered in life. Nothing compared to knowing Jesus Christ. Anything else he considered to be "rubbish." He wrote in Philippians 3:7-10,
7. But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ.
8. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish in order that I may gain Christ,
9. and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,
10. that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; . . .
When we have the perspective on life that Paul had, we will have a joyful life.
When knowing Jesus Christ is our main objective in life, we will rejoice in Him. In other words, when nothing else matters to us more than know Jesus Christ, no circumstance in life can take away the joy we have in Him.
When Paul writes of gaining Christ he is addressing attention to his personal relationship with him and the benefits of that relationship (3:8). In his book The Joy of Living: A Devotional Study of Philippians, Dr. J Dwight Pentecost offers this summary of Paul's letter,
[K]nowing Christ, walking in fellowship with Him, and being obedient to Him floods the life and heart and mind of the apostle Paul with an incomparable joy...so that in Christ he has found perfect rest, satisfaction, and contentment."
Reason #2: There is cause for rejoicing in knowing that your righteousness comes from God by faith.
It should be understood that there is joy in knowing that God has given you His righteousness. You are righteous in Christ Jesus (1 Corinthians 1:30-31). Paul has developed the teaching that God's righteousness is received as a gift from Him in greater detail in his letter to the Romans, chapters three, four and five (see especially 3:21 – 4:9). But here it is clear that Paul is addressing the righteousness of Christ that he wants to be more and more of a reality in his experience before his glorification.
Notice the subjunctive moods used in Philippians 3:8-9 where Paul declares that he "counts" everything in life as rubbish "in order that [he] may gain Christ, and may be found in Him . . ." (NASB). Paul knew that He had been declared to be right with God by God Himself through faith in Jesus. He had been justified by God in Christ (Romans 5:1). But the subjunctives indicate what Paul desires to be true in his life. He wants what is his position in Christ, justification (Romans 5:1), to be his practice in his walk with Jesus. He wants to have a righteous way of life. He develops this further when he writes of his desire to attain to the resurrection of the dead (Philippians 3:11-13). Positionally in Christ he had been raised with Him (cf. Romans 6:4-5; Ephesians 1:3ff.). But it is the apostle's desire that who he is in Christ may become more and more of a reality in his life as he lives righteously. This is Paul's main concern in life for which he presses on (Philippians 3:14).
Just as our righteousness in Christ is given to us from God by faith, so righteousness in the Christian grace-way of life is also a reality when we walk by faith. Any righteousness in our life is there because we are heeding God's word by faith (cf. Hebrews 11:4). This experiential righteousness is not performance based. It is not ours because we are focusing on keeping a set of rules that certainly are good in themselves. No, this righteousness is by faith as we keep our eyes on Jesus Christ and make our main concern gaining Him and knowing Him (cf. 1 John 2:3-6). And this is where joy in the Lord is found.
The relationship between believing God and being filled with joy is found in Paul's wish for believers in Romans 15:13:
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Back to the Importance of Knowing Christ—and sharing in His sufferings
After stating the fact that a righteous life comes from God through faith (3:9), he once again addresses attention to knowing Christ (3:10). This is where joy is found.
But what in the world, you may ask, is the "fellowship of [Christ's] sufferings" about? What does that mean, exactly? You may be thinking, yes, I want the "power of His resurrection" but don't talk to me about suffering with Christ.
Paul frequently wrote of the pain he experienced because he was outspoken about the truth of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 4:11-13; 2 Corinthians 4:7-11; Galatians 5:11; 6:12; 2 Timothy 3:10-12; cf. Colossians 1:24). We may not face persecution like Paul did, but we all experience the effects of sin and the curse because we live in this fallen sinful world. Here is the truth that is taught in the Bible concerning sharing in the sufferings of Christ that has application for all believers everywhere:
Whenever we experience the effects of sin and the curse in this fallen world, we may view it as sharing in the sufferings of Christ (John 11:34; Romans 8:18-23; 2 Corinthians 4:7-11; cf. Hebrews 11:24-26).
Jesus wants you to experience the power of His resurrection, drawing upon His strength, when you share in His sufferings as you experience the pain of living in a sinful world. Just as Jesus wept on His way to the burial place of His friend Lazarus, we may grieve as we experience the effects of sin in our life.
God calls us to keep on demonstrating that we want to know Jesus Christ more and more by continuing to trust in Him—no matter what. This is the Lord's plan for our life. It is only as we trust Him to give us the strength to obey His commands that we get to know Him better and are able to rejoice in Him.
Reason #3: You rejoice in the Lord because you understand His plan for your life.
Sometimes believers do not rejoice in the Lord because they do not understand the plan of God for the Christian grace-way of life as they should. The Lord's plan for your life here and now is not a life that is filled with only pleasant experiences. But possibly our expectations of what God should do or must do in our life are skewed, as the perspective of this lady reveals.
A woman told [Larry Crabb] with a peaceful smile that she knows God will bring her deserting husband back to her. When [she was asked to explain] the reason for the hope within her, she smiled even more broadly and replied, "He promised me an abundant life" (Larry Crabb, Shattered Dreams: God's Unexpected Pathway to Joy, p. 28, brackets added).
Sadly, many believers think that an abundant life must be a life that is filled with pleasant experiences here and now on earth. And if life is not pleasant certainly God will or even must change things for the better.
But as the title of Crabb's book indicates, Shattered Dreams: God's Unexpected Pathway to Joy, a deeper experience of joy results from experiencing God's enabling grace to face life as it is. If our first concern is to know Christ and we appreciate that He is providentially working in our life, then when our hopes and dreams do not come true we should continue to keep in mind that we live in a war zone that involves the decisions that people choose to make.
Does the Lord want a deserting husband to return to his wife? Of course! And He knows just what it will take in that husband's life to bring that about. But the husband may continue to rebel against the Lord Jesus' plan for his marriage no matter what He could do in his life. And Jesus knows all of this. Has God failed the wife? No, the husband has. But the wife can look to the Lord for help in the face of her pain. By her painful experience of having a wayward husband, she is sharing in the fellowship of Christ's sufferings. But through the pain she can experience Jesus' joy as He gives her the grace to keep trusting Him to face life as it is without her husband. Or the Lord could choose to remove the husband, bringing about his untimely death.
Are we determined to let no one and nothing stand in the way of gaining Christ? Do we want to view all of life, including relationships with others, from the standpoint of carefully considering how what is happening in our life will help us get to know Christ better? Our Savior who suffered in our place wants us to get to know Him better as He views the suffering we experience because we want to get to know Him better and better.
Our Lord God certainly has given us many good reasons to rejoice. Even though life is oftentimes not what we hoped it would be or what we expected it to be, we can have joy in the Lord because knowing Him is our first concern. We experience the power of Christ's resurrection when we have joy as we experience the pain of sharing in His sufferings.
Reason #4: You will rejoice when your life is productive for the glory of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 3:10-14
Jesus promises you His joy if you love Him. And to love Him is to obey Him. He declared in John 15:
8. "By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.
9. "Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.
10. "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love.
11. "These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
Jesus wants you to experience the fullness of joy that He has.
It is helpful to keep in mind that the occasion in which Jesus presented the teaching of John 15 took place just prior to His betrayal and crucifixion. In the immediate context He had spoken of being troubled (John 13:21; cf. 14:1). Like Christ, we may have His joy in the midst of difficult and horribly painful times
(cf. 1 Peter 1:6,8; 4:12-13).
Reason #5: You will rejoice when you stay in the love of Jesus Christ.
There is joy in knowing Jesus Christ and enjoying a loving personal relationship with Him (Philippians 3:8,10; cf. 1 John 1:1-7).
Reason #6: You will rejoice when you obey Christ's commands.
Joy in obedience is the experience of only those who heed the Lord's commands out of a heart of gratitude for what He has done for them (1 John 4:17-19; 5:3).
These reasons for joy were also the experience of those who looked to the Lord in faith in ages past. The Psalm writers of the Old Testament days knew it well (Psalm 84:1-12; 16:7-11; 89:14-16; 32:10-11; 90:14-16)
Reason #7 There is cause for rejoicing—there is good reason for a deep level of joy—in those who are pure in heart by the grace of God.
The pure in heart know that everything is right between them and God. And they have joy (1 John 1:4-9).
This was true of David after he confessed his sin and cried out to the Lord to restore to him the joy of being delivered from death, sin and sin's consequences (Psalm 51:6-14).
Reason #8 We should rejoice because there is joy in knowing about the glorious future the Lord has for us. Philippians 3:20-21
When we rejoice in the Lord we may often have to look past the circumstances of life that we are facing and bring to mind what God has done for us and what He has in store for us forever with Him.
What we have been considering thus far is a level of joy that is not determined by circumstances or the behavior of others. It is the deepest level of joy found in a trusting, loving and obedient relationship with Jesus Christ. It is the deep sense of inner happiness that our Lord God gives to us because we know Him and are trusting in Him. This is the joy that may be ours at any time, in any place, in any circumstance. Because of the grace of God we truly can rejoice in the Lord always (Philippians 4:4).

I wouldn't get it
I got it having my expectations up really high for it being really good and then I used the app. The way the strings make it so that you can't really hear the pitch and don't know if your instrument is in tune. There is no scale to show where you are at and when you push a button it maybe plays for three seconds and stops. I wouldn't waste your time getting this, sorry but it's the truth. 🎻🎻🎻
Good for what it is
The app is good for what it is. Granted the sound is a synthetic but if one has experience with tuning any note to pitch, the app does well in aiding a musician who needs a quick tuner.

looking for: question - coconut milk
Does anyone know if coconut milk can be used as a milk substitute? My son uses it in his coffee and it tastes great. But what about for sauces, baking? I am going to be experimenting and reporting back to you when I find something that works.
Coconut products are supposed to help with digestive distress. Anyone have an experience with that?
-- Marie
Marie, Coconut milk is used in a number of thai sauces, as well as soups and marinades. Here is a recipe for a cake using Coconut milk.
Coconut Recipes
Fresh Coconut Cake
source: http://island-realestate.com/copra/recipes.html
3 C. Cake Flour
3 Eggs
3 t. Baking Powder
1 t. Vanilla
3/4 t. Salt
1/8 t. Almond Extract
3/4 C. Butter
1 C. Coconut Milk
2 C. Sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter and line with wax paper three, 8-inch cake pans.
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Cream butter, sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.
Divide batter between the three baking pans.
Bake 25 minutes or until brown and cake begins to pull away from the sides of the pan. Frost with cream frosting.
Cream Frosting
1/4 C. Butter
2 T. Cream
3 1/2 C. Powdered Sugar
1 t. Vanilla
1/4 t. Salt
3 C. Grated Cocount
Can coconut be used as a milk substitute? Nutritionally, probably so. Someone once said that milk was blood without the red corpuscles. During WW II, both the Americans and the Japanese used coconut water as a substitute for blood transfusions -- rich in vitamins, minerals and electrolytes. The meat is 50% loric acid, which is found in mammal's milk around the world. What pasteurizing, adding preservatives and stuffing into a can does to alter the usefulness of this is anyone's guess. But more than likely, it does it no good. Untampered with is what makes it a good food. (The tree blooms every 28 days. From the time the fruit sets, to full maturity averages nine months.)
I ahould have mentioned that I am interested in the properties of coconut products that are supposed to aid with digestion. I read about a study that recently reported the use of fresh coconut and coconut macaroons was successful in curing stomach and intestinal disorders. Well with me it worked for about two days then I was having the same old problems again. -- Marie
I never got around to experimenting as much as I'd planned. But I did use coconut milk to make gelatin leche, a Mexican dessert. I used strawberry jello and it was a huge hit. It was beautiful, as well. Like a big pink flan. Just heat up the milk like you would the water and dissolve the jello in it. what a surprise this was!!
Here is the recipe for vegetable coconut rice.
2 cups of washed, uncooked basmati rice.
Soak the above rice for 1/2 hr -1 hr in 2 cups of water and 2 cups of coconut milk.
For the vegetables, you can use 8 oz of mixed vegetables,
1 cup of thin sliced onions.
3 garlic clove minced
small piece of ginger minced
1 green chillie sliced
For seasoning, cinnamon piece 1/2", 2 cardamom, 2 cloves, 2 bay leaves, 2-3 black peppers
In a pan, pour 6-7 teaspoons of oil. When it is hot, put the onions, garlic, ginger, chillie and the seasonings. Fry till the onions are golden brown. Now add the vegetables and fry them for 5-7 mins.
Add the above to the rice and add salt to taste. Put it in an electric cooker and let it cook.
Once it is done, garnish with chopped cilantro.
I prepare this very often and it tastes really good.
For Flavor, you can also use minced mint along with the vegetables.
I substitute coconut milk for dairy in all my smoothies, I haven't tried it in recipes for cake/cookies etc. But I don't see why it wouldn't work. I'm sure there are a lot of good recipes out there. Check out this link: http://montanarob.homestead.com/page3.html
I don't eat any dairy if I can help it due to cholesterol problems and I avoid it because it is calcium robbing..yes, it is...it's an acid food and if your body becomes too acidy from consuming acid foods your body will automatically gather calcium from other sources..ideally your bones..thus it is definitely best to keep your alkalinity and acid intakes in balance. And we wonder why osteoperosis is such a big problem in the elderly!
Did you know that coconut milk is VERY high in saturated fat? Check out the link below for the nutritional analysis.
Here is a link that might be useful: Nutrition Data website
I don't understand how the cake is FRESH coconut cake. The coconut milk used it CANNED (not fresh milk/juice from the coconut) and the coconut in the frosting is FLAKED (dried, not fresh coconut meat). I suppose fresh describes the CAKE since we're baking it and not just thawing it or taking it out of a can but then every cake recipe should start with "fresh", which is a bit silly.
Yes, I agree coconut milk is high in saturated fat (3 grams per tbsp) but it's the same amount as in heavy cream with less total fat per serving (4 versus 6 grams). Trader Joe's sells a light (lower-fat) version and has the added benefit of being the only coconut milk I've found that has no preservatives.

PULLMAN, Wash. — Vince Hunter scored 15 points on 7-of-9 shooting as four players scored in double figures to help UTEP beat Washington State 64-51 on Saturday night.
Julian Washburn chipped in 15 and McKenzie Moore added 13 points and hit two 3-pointers for UTEP (7-5), who shot 51 percent from the field and ended Washington State's three-game win streak.
Solid defense by the Miners held Washington State to only 17 first-half points. UTEP pulled to quick 12-point lead and led 41-22 at 14:50 mark before Washington State started to chip away. The Cougars cut the lead to eight (59-51) with 2 minutes to play in the game, but got no closer.
Que Johnson scored 19 of his career-high 21 points in the second half and hit four 3-pointers during the run to help dig the Cougars out of their hole.
Washington State shot only 33 percent from the field on 20-of-50 shooting.

Two FOUPs are stacked and moved together towards an equipment wall by a horizontal actuator. FOUP doors are withdrawn as a unit by a horizontal actuator, and lowered as a unit by a vertical actuator to provide access to the interior of the FOUPs.
1. Apparatus for connecting front opening unified pods to substrate handling equipment, said apparatus comprising:
a lower pod support platform;
an upper pod support platform spaced above the lower platform a distance to permit the placement of a pod on the lower platform;
a lower pod door opener interface configured to interface with a front door of said the pod in the lower platform;
an upper door opener interface configured to interface with a front door of a pod on the upper platform, said upper and lower interfaces being interconnected so that movement of the lower interface will move the upper interface;
a horizontal actuator located below said lower platform for moving said pods and said door opening interfaces horizontally to remove front doors from said pods; and
a vertical actuator located below said lower platform for lowering both of said door opening interfaces at the same time together with said pod doors carried by said interfaces to permit access to substrates within the interior of said pods.
2. The apparatus of claim 1, including platform actuator for moving said platforms horizontally.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 including a support connecting said platform so that they are moved together as a unit by said platform actuator.
4. A method of connecting and opening front opening unified pods to equipment for moving substrates into and out of the pods, said method comprising the steps of:
positioning one of said pods on a lower platform mounted on said equipment;
positioning a second one of said pods on an upper platform spaced above said lower platform;
positioning a lower pod door opening interface in front of a front door of said lower pod and positioning an upper pod door opening interface in front of the front door of said upper pod, said door opening interfaces being connected to move as a unit;
producing relative horizontal movement between said door interfaces and said pods to cause the door interfaces to be connected to said doors;
producing relative movement between said pods and said door opening interfaces to simultaneously withdraw said doors from said upper and lower pods produced by an actuator positioned beneath said lower pod so that particles produced by the actuator are remote from the opened pods; and
lowering said door opening interfaces unit and said pod doors to a position wherein the interiors of said pods are accessible for the removal of substrates within said pods.
5. The method of claim 4, wherein said movement to withdraw said doors is produced by an actuator positioned beneath said lower pod so that particles produced by the actuator are remote from the opened pods, and wherein said moving step includes lowering said door opening unit, and the lowering step is performed by an actuator lower than said lower pod so as to minimize the risk of particle contamination of said substrates by said door lowering actuator.
6. The method of claim 4, including the step of moving said pods horizontally to cause the pod front doors to be aligned with openings in a vertical wall and to cause a frame around the doors to engage the wall surrounding the opening.
7. The method of claim 6, including returning the pods to said platforms by including the steps of raising said unit into alignment with said pods, moving the doors horizontally into engagement with the pods, and moving the pods with the doors away from the wall.
This invention relates to semiconductor wafer handling equipment, more specifically, to a system for moving doors of front-opening unified pods (FOUP).
Semiconductor wafers or other such substrates are typically subjected to many processing steps that involve moving a cassette of wafers from one type of apparatus to another. For example, wafers that have been subjected to one process in a vapor deposition chamber may have to be moved and cleaned and dried in other apparatus, and then transferred to a different apparatus for additional processing steps. It is very important that the wafers in process be kept isolated from contamination when being transferred. One technique that has been developed is to transfer them in a sealed box or pod. In the new location, it is then necessary to open the box to allow access to the wafers. To minimize contamination and to minimize labor requirements, the box is preferably opened robotically. A FOUP which is one such box has a front-opening door that can be removed by robotic equipment after the door frame has been sealed to mating equipment.
The cost of processing semiconductor wafers, always a prime consideration, is often evaluated by the throughput per unit of cost. Another measure is the throughput per area of floor space, which means that it is desirable to reduce the footprint of the apparatus employed. Related to both is the importance of reducing the capital cost of equipment. Inventions that can improve the competitive edge by either measure are highly desirable.
Briefly stated, the invention comprises apparatus for simultaneously connecting two FOUPs to substrate handling equipment. This includes a lower platform for supporting one pod and an upper platform for supporting a second pod. The platforms are connected to be moved together towards and away from substrate handing equipment. When so positioned, a door opener interface is positioned to mate or interface with a front door of each of the pods. These interfaces are interconnected so that they will move in unison. Actuators located below the lower platform are provided for moving the pods and the interfaces. Positioning the actuators below the lower platform minimizes the risks of particles reaching the substrates located in the pods.
In accordance with the method of the invention, a FOUP is placed on each of the two platforms with coupling pins on the platform connecting to mating hardware on the lower surfaces of the pods. This positions the pods with their front doors aligned with openings in the apparatus to receive the wafers and aligned with a door opening interface for each of the pods. One or more actuators simultaneously move the pods forwardly to lock into engagement with the door opening interfaces, in accordance with industry standards. The door interface connects with the FOUP door and actuates the mechanism which unlocks the door from the FOUP. Also, the pod frame around the front doors seals with the apparatus wall so that the interior of each pod is exposed to the desired condition within the apparatus when its door is removed. In the next step, the door interfaces are moved simultaneously in a horizontal direction to withdraw the doors from the pods. A vertical drive mechanism is then actuated to lower the doors simultaneously so that the interior of both pods is open to the apparatus for processing the substrate contained in the pod. The steps, of course, are reversed to return the pod front doors to the closed position in the pods, and to retract the pods.
FIG. 1 is a side elevational, somewhat schematic view of apparatus incorporating the invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic view on line 2--2 of FIG. 1 illustrating the support for the upper FOUP platform.
FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view of the door opening mechanism of FIG. 1 as viewed from the interior of the substrate processing apparatus.
FIG. 4 is a front perspective view of a typical front opening unified pod.
Referring to FIG. 1 a vertical wall 10 represents a wall or clean room interface of typical semiconductor processing apparatus. To the right of the wall represents the interior of the apparatus or processing tool and to the left of the wall represents the exterior clean room. The remainder of the components illustrated in FIG. 1 are supported by this vertical wall. These can be resting on the floor but can be attached to the wall.
Supported on the exterior side is a vertically oriented housing 12. Attached to it is a support 14 which supports a lower registration plate or platform 18. The platform and the supporting structures, is sometimes referred to as a load port, in that it represents the entry to an opening in the wall 10 leading to the interior of the processing apparatus. Extending upwardly from the platform 18 are alignment pins 22 adapted to mate with corresponding openings in the lower portion of the bottom wall of the pod 20. The pod is actually shown spaced slightly above the pins for illustration purposes, but in use, the pins extend into the mating openings in the bottom wall of the pod. The construction of the pod itself is established by Semiconductor Equipment Materials International (SEMI) standards. SEMI standard E 62-0997 is a provisional specification for 300-mm Front Opening Interface Mechanical Standards (FIMS). Details of the interconnection between the pod and the support platform may be obtained from that document, which is incorporated herein by reference.
An upper support platform 26 is schematically shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 attached to the lower platform 18 by a frame 28 so that they move together as a unit. Other suitable connecting structures may be employed. A second front opening unified pod 30 is supported on that support platform and mated to pins 22. That pod is also aligned with an opening in the wall 10.
A suitable actuator motor 32 mounted on the support 14 is connected in suitable fashion to move the platforms 18 and 26 horizontally towards and away from the wall 10. Alternatively, the support 28 may be provided with a separate drive (not shown) for moving the platform 26 horizontally towards and away from the opening in the wall 10, but that is less advantageous because of the need for an additional mount for the platform 26 and another drive.
Positioned on the tool side of the wall 10 are a lower door opener 34 and an upper door opener 36 each of which is aligned with an opening in the wall 10 so as to be respectively aligned with the front doors of the pods 20 and 30. Each door opener includes a schematically indicated actuator 57 that can be operated to turn the latch keys securing the doors. The openers are interconnected by struts 38 so the two door openers move as a unit. Preferably, the struts are tubular so that electrical or pneumatic controls may extend through them. The door openers include an interface or a portion that is adapted, in accordance with SEMI standards, to connect with the front wall of the door on the pods. The door openers are mounted on a support bracket 46 that is connected by support 42 to the lower door opener 34, as may be seen in FIG. 1. The support is mounted on the bracket in a manner to permit the door openers to be moved horizontally by a motor or other means 50 towards and away from the wall 10.
The support for the door openers is mounted to a carrier 52 that extends through a vertically oriented slot in the wall 10. The carrier is mounted on a vertical shaft 54 to be moved, together with the door openers, in a vertical direction by an actuator 56.
In operation, the two pods 20 and 30 are mounted on the lower and upper platforms respectively, with the platforms in a retracted position with respect to the wall 10. The door openers are positioned as shown in FIG. 1, filling the openings in the wall 10 that are aligned with the front door of each of the pods. The horizontal actuator for moving the platforms 18 and 26 is then actuated to move both pods simultaneously towards the wall 10, causing the pod doors to mate with the interface portions of the door openers, while the door frames mate with the portions of the wall 10 defining the openings. The door opener interfaces are automatically coupled to the pod doors in accordance with SEMI standards utilizing the actuator 57. The horizontal actuator for the door openers is then activated causing the pod doors to be retracted or moved inwardly into the tool side of the wall 10. The interiors of the pods are then open to the interior of the tool side of the wall.
The vertical actuator 56 for the door openers is then actuated causing both doors to be simultaneously moved vertically out of alignment with the pods. That is, both door openers are moved to a position below the opening to the lower pod so the interiors of both pods are accessible from the tool side of the wall 10. The substrates within the pod can then be removed from the pods for processing within the tool, and ultimately returned to the pods.
The procedure is then reversed to once more restore the pod doors. That is, the vertical actuator is actuated to move the door openers vertically so that they are once more horizontally aligned with the pods. The horizontal door opener actuator is then energized to move the door openers towards the pods to position the doors within the pods and releasing them. The door openers can then moved horizontally away from the pods, leaving the doors once more restored to the pods. The pods can then be withdrawn from the wall by energizing the horizontal actuators that withdraw the support panels 18 and 28 from the wall. The pods may then be moved to a new desired location.
It will be recognized that a major advantage of the arrangement described is that particles that might be caused by the various actuators are all below the level of the lower pod 20. Thus, when the pod doors are removed and lowered, the likelihood of particles entering the pod is greatly minimized from that which might exist if the actuators were above the pods. Additionally, only a single horizontal actuator is required for moving both pods horizontally, only a single actuator is required for moving both door openers horizontally, and only a single vertical actuator is required for moving both door openers vertically. This then saves on equipment costs, versus having two side-by-side single arrangements, and increases throughout per unit cost. Also, the arrangement saves floor space by having the pods vertically stacked rather than have them positioned in a side-by-side relation, thus increasing throughout per area floor space.

Openly LGBT Olympians: Does it Matter?
July 25, 2012 by HRC staff
US Women's Soccer Player Megan Rapinoe (Wikimedia Commons)
Post submitted by Eric Cameron, HRC Digital Media Specialist
Earlier this week we profiled a few of the openly LGBT athletes competing in this year's Olympic games, including three Americans.
Doubles tennis player Lisa Raymond, WNBA champion Seimone Augustus and women's soccer star Megan Rapinoe will all take to the field and courts in the upcoming weeks, with LGBT Americans looking on with particular pride to see high-profile, top-ranked athletes competing so openly and courageously on the world stage.
While these LGBT athletes are teammates and competitors first and foremost, they are also highly visible role models who send a powerful message to LGBT youth and all who watch the games that LGBT people can compete and inspire just like anyone else.
What do you think? We want to hear why (and if) it matters to you that these Olympians are openly LGBT. Sound off below.

Fun & Intelligent
I am very positive and energetic. I see the possibilities in everything, and pursue my dreams relentlessly. I am very interested in humanity. The language, history, culture, arts and sciences, both current and historic of people from every nationality and creed consumes my interest. I love to travel and have traveled to most places in the world. For me, it is a lifelong expedition whose joys lay in discovery, and it would be far more delightful if my partner could also take pleasure from such discoveries. I enjoy classical music, impressionist art, Spanish guitar, and jazz. Friends, family, and acquaintances often say I am honest, intelligent, fearless, and extremely funny. The negatives are I have been called loyal to a fault, and too kind; sad to say, I'm proud to hear it. My ideal match is a woman who enjoys being a woman, and feels that a man's desire to honor and respect her as a woman is a symbol of his strength. My ideal match is emotionally mature, that is, she knows and understands her feelings and they are fully integrated into her being. She is physically attractive, spiritually attractive, and mentally stimulating. Mentally stimulating to me is to have a great deal of curiosity and a wide variety of interests and likes. She must have a lot of positive energy, and be very optimistic about life, people, and things in general. She is kind, and proud of being generous to a fault, and truly enjoys people. If this sounds like you, and you are interested, drop me a line.

I live in the UK and tried this twice and saw no noticable difference- negative or positive.
Last week however, I went away on holiday and needed a high SPF for my face so took this with no expectation of it doing anything dramatic for my makeup. On my first day on holiday- where the temp was well above 25c- I did a tour of the city on foot and swam and my makeup (full face) stayed immaculate! I wore the primer for the full weekend and my makeup stayed on and never needed blotting.
Now back in the UK, I have been using this ever day with no negative effect- I can honestly see a difference in the tone of my skin, meaning I need a little less concealer and it really does keep my makeup looking matte and smooth.
I only give it four stars as I have only been using it for a week- God knows what will happen to my skin in the next month...

This product is wonderful for helping my makeup last. I also love it because of the SPF50. I use it instead of a moisturiser and as a primer under makeup in the mornings. My skin is looking good but it is erring on the dry side so I wonder if I need an additional moisturiser or serum to help- then perhaps it wouldn't work as well. Overall am very pleased and will buy again. I can see how the packaging will be a pin at the end as it will be very hard to get the last bits of product out without wastage.

it's like Primer + Sunblock , so all in 1.
smooth texture, no breaking out, not greasy, not matt. not too expensive 27$ ( I used to use Clarins uv plus, cause it gave my face dewy great looking texture but costs 40$ )
this makes my makeup last all day. good product

I have very oily, acne-prone skin, my nose is always congested with blackheads, my cheeks and chin suffer from hormonal breakouts every month, and I will never live without this primer in my makeup routine. I used to be a bit of a cheapskate and just primed with my Effaclar M moisturizer or applied foundation on my bare skin. Biggest makeup rookie mistake ever. Because my face is constantly covered in active breakouts, I use a full coverage long-lasting foundation everyday (my HG foundation is Shiseido sun liquid foundation SPF 43). However, without a primer this foundation absolutely ravaged my raw and sensitive breakout areas. After this terrifying ordeal I would say one of the most valuable properties of this primer is in protecting your face from those especially harsh ingredients that are present in water-resistant foundations. The protective properties really are twofold: 1) seals in your serum or moisturizer, 2) prevents your foundation from settling into your pores and blemishes. After I cleanse my face, I apply my day serum, then apply a pea-sized amount of this primer all over the face including my eyelids and under-eye area. It is not drying for my oily skin and it leaves a matte and smooth canvas for which to apply my foundation after about 10 mins. This is the best performing primer in its price bracket and highly recommended to prime underneath heavy-duty foundations.

I loved this product. It worked so well as both a primer and an SPF (although I used sunscreen under it because no-one wears enough primer to actually protect for UV rays). Anyway, that wasnt the issue. The issue was that it broke me out horribly. In fact, I was in denial that this was the cause for quite a while because I loved it so much, but just after stopping it my skin suddenly got so much better.
So very sad. I guess be careful if you are acne-prone/sensitive to silicones.
If you aren't, then buy this!! I have a very oily T-zone and a very dry (flaky) cheeks, and this evened out everything wonderfully. Great product, but didn't work for me.

I was mainly trying this for the sunscreen properties, as I have no need for a primer.
Like other reviewers, mine also separated, so that it came out as a clear oil like substance and a white cream.
When I applied it, it felt like I was putting a layer of oil on my face. Once applied, it felt fine, but it did not help my liquid foundation go on smoother. In fact, my nose looked cakey instead of smooth.
My main issue with it is this: after removing with oil cleanser followed by cleansing wash, I moisturised as usual. When I felt my face a few minutes later, it had a sticky, greasy feel to it. I double cleansed again, and thought everything was okay, but after some time the greasy feeling returned, less than the first time but it was still there.
I did not want to over wash my face, so I left it alone for a few hours. I blotted with oil absorbing papers, but I was still left with a layer of something on my face.
Going into trying this product, I was wary of the amount of silicones and knew that I was taking the risk of breaking out. If that was the reaction I had, I would not have too much of a negative perception of it, as I can break out easily. Instead, I was not expecting the quality of this product to be so strange, especially for the price.

I have a love hate relationship with this. The first time I tried it, it made me brake out. I have extremely sensitive skin so I stoped using it. After a couple weeks I tried it again. It didn't cause break outs the second time around and I felt like my skin felt smoother, and my foundation looked good. I wear blush daily and whenever I put this on my blush stays put all day long, and I mean all day long. I actually have to pat it down with a tissue because my blush stays strong all day and sometimes it can be overwelming if it doesn't fade a bit lol. I haven't noticed any difference with my oilyness but that could be because I have extremely oily skin that no product can help me. I don't know if I will buy this product again, I don't use it daily but I give it props for the staying power and the spf.

The packaging color is really pretty with the sparkles. But I hate in the end I feel like you're wasting product.
I love the fact that it had spf 50 and I never felt like I had sunscreen on my face. So if you're getting it for that as well then go for it. :) I noticed that it made my cheaper foundations stay on longer.

Looovveee this. Finally a product with high SPF that actually enhances your face,increases the wear time of your makeup, helps foundation glide on smoothly and dosent turn it into an oily mess by noon. I do still need to blot by 1 or 2ish in my t-zone. There have been a few occasions where I didn't have a chance and my skin didnt look as shiny as it did with other primers. You only need a little bit, the tube is sanitary but needs MAJOR improvements. There is a point in the life cycle of this magic little tube that makes it damn near impossible to squeeze out the remaining product. So, I cut the tube in half and scoop out the remaining MONTH worth of product into a sample jar. So that sucks and is a hassle. The product is so good, it's worth it but it would be nice to not have to do that :) But the formula is just great. Also, the price is relatively reasonable considering that an ounce for $30 will last near 3 months. Please Mac, put this in a pump :)
