London-based artist and curator Lorenzo Durantini has gathered thousands of old unwanted VHS tapes to make towering (and almost menacing) sculptures from them. These monoliths of outdated technology offer a striking critique of image production and distribution.
It's likely that you (or your parents) still have a box of VHS tapes tucked away somewhere. Whether you can't bear to part with your original Star Wars tapes or you've just forgotten about them – they're obsolete.
In 2010, Lorenzo Durantini went through an obsessive period where he was collecting old recording mediums – especially VHS tapes. He created a series of staggering towers made from 2,216 tapes – their sheer size call into question the outdated medium, which lasted for a blip and was soon surpassed by DVD, Blu-Ray and now online streaming. Durantini also pulled all the tape from the cassettes and piled it in rooms that contained hundreds of thousands of hours of video.
Explaining his work to Fast Co. Design, Duraniti says, "They have just passed their point of cultural utility and are transformed into a sort of contemporary relic. I hope they provide an alternate and somewhat critical viewpoint of the structures that surround image production and distribution." We've already seen how CDs have been used to create astounding installations. Hopefully now that digital streaming has become possible, we won't have to worry as much about millions of obsolete items like VHS tapes clogging up our attics and our landfills.

Five burning questions for Notre Dame
Notre Dame expects to make it back to the BCS Championship after January's 42-14 throttling by Alabama -- the game is, quite literally, on their schedule. But if they're going to reach that goal, or at the least a berth in a BCS bowl, they'll have to answer these five questions:
1. Can Tommy Rees cut it?
Front and center this fall is Rees, two years removed from a turnover-riddled stint as Notre Dame's starting quarterback and an 8-5 season. But that was 2011, under a different offensive coordinator and with an offense featuring a completely different makeup. He's two years older, has the respect and trust of his teammates...but none of that will matter if he throws 14 interceptions again.
Consider this: SB Nation's Matt Hinton put together a neat little graphic comparing Rees in 2010-2011 to Golson in 2012. There are plenty of similarities, and Rees scores better in a few categories. Where Golson won out: Interceptions. That's not the only reason for a four-win bump, but it's certainly a big one.
[More: Golson didn't let Notre Dame down, says Chuck Martin]
2. Who emerges as a playmaker?
In the last few years, Notre Dame's had the luxury of having Michael Floyd, Tyler Eifert, Theo Riddick and Cierre Wood on its roster -- all go-to offensive options who could be generally be counted on to make a play when necessary. The Irish don't have any established options anymore, outside of senior wideout T.J. Jones. For instance, none of its six running backs had a carry (or, in the case of Greg Bryant and Tarean Folston, were with the team) in the BCS Championship.
DaVaris Daniels showed flashes of promise, while Chris Brown did as well in very limited time. Freshman receivers Corey Robinson and James Onwualu are likely to get in, but are still green. Coaches like Jones -- Brian Kelly said he thinks he'll be a first-round pick next year -- but can his crisp route-running translate into more than 50 catches, his total last year? Can Troy Niklas, who caught five passes last year, step up along with Alex Welch and Ben Koyack to fill Tyler Eifert's shoes?
The good news here is that there's such a wealth of talent at the skill positions that the best bet is someone will emerge. And whoever that is, the other bit of good news is that there will be plenty of depth behind him.
[More: Notre Dame sees the depth and potential in its running backs]
3. Can Stephon Tuitt hold up?
Tuitt was on pace to break Justin Tuck's single-season school sack record last fall, recording 8 1/2 sacks in Notre Dame's first seven games. But he was slowed partly by a hernia in the latter half of the season and didn't register a sack in four of Notre Dame's final six games. He missed time in spring practice as he recovered from surgery, and put on nearly 20 pounds in the offseason as his operation continued to limit him in summer workouts.
His weight could be a non-issue a few weeks from now, but the Irish have precariously thin depth at defensive end now that Tony Springmann is out for the season. At his best, Tuitt is an elite defensive end, someone who was a bit overlooked last year in light of all the (deserved) Jadeveon Clowney hype. But if he can't stay on the field consistently and his production slows again, it'll be an added headache for a team without a large margin for error in their quest to make a BCS bowl.
[More: Notre Dame's leadership coming into focus]
4. Will special teams improve?
Last year, Notre Dame was about average in field goal kicking and punting and bad in kick and punt returns. The field goal kicking will be handled by either Kyle Brindza or Nick Tausch (the best bet, right now, is on Tausch) while Brindza or Alex Wulfeck will take over punting duties. Improvement in kicking and punting would help, but more notably, the Irish could stand to generate more yards on kick and punt returns.
Notre Dame's offense needs to score more points -- that's been Kelly's mantra for months -- and getting some better field position of punts and kicks would be a nice boost to those efforts.
[More: Notre Dame still sorting out its kickers]
5. Can they win the close ones again?
I covered this earlier this week, but for a team that's strength will be its defense, Notre Dame can expect to be in plenty of close games again this fall. The Irish won all five games decided by seven points or fewer last year, something players chalked up to a combination of preparation, skill, mentality and, of course, a bit of luck.
Notre Dame would certainly prefer to not play in so many tight games, but few teams can navigate a 12-game regular season schedule without a nail-biter or two. Winning those games, ultimately, will likely be what separates Notre Dame from a BCS bowl and a lower-tier game.

State Port at Gulfport, Island View Casino sign 10-year lease
by Lisa Monti
Published: October 25,2013
Tags: Business, casinos, gambling, Gulf Coast, las vegas, Mississippi
Rick Carter and Terry Green, co-owners of Island View Casino Resort in Gulfport, have extended their lease with the Mississippi State Port Authority to expand Island View's hotel operations and add amenities.
Carter and Green already announced a multimillion-dollar renovation of their hotel property on the south side of U.S. 90. They plan to spend $50 million to turn the property, vacated since Katrina, into a hotel with 400 rooms and a convention center.
The 10-year lease with multiple options was signed last week. Carter said in a statement that the agreement "extends the life of the original lease for up to 50 years" and that is shows how confident he and Green are about the Coast "as a dynamic and viable tourism destination.
Jonathan Daniels, the port's executive director and CEO, said, "The commission has secured an agreement that not only benefits the port, but the tourism industry and the Gulfport community, as well. We're pleased that our partnership with the Island View will continue for many years."
Also last week, Island View announced that financing for the resort's expansion to the waterfront corridor of its 40-acre property is set to close this week. Wells Fargo Bank's gaming division in Reno is the lead arranger.
The expansion will add 400 hotel rooms, meeting space, restaurants and a sports bar, retail space, a spa and a beachfront pool to the resort.
The casino hotel on the north side of U.S. 90 has 565 rooms along with the 80,000-square-foot gaming floor, restaurants, an entertainment venue and swimming pool.
Construction is expected to begin in late this year and be completed by summer of 2015.

you again?:P i can't believe they still have you over at cheathappens..:P you must be really good or the people are really stupid...
not quite sure how you can make a trainer without actually playing the game, but I'm pretty sure it's a prerequisite.
i personally use CH trainers all the time and never have any trouble, including the sacred 2 one. of course, you and anyone else is welcome to enlighten us with your leet trainer making skills and do one yourself.
Crashes my game the instant i get damaged. The inf ammo thing works fine though.

I am working on the Infinite health option right now. As of right now that is the thing that may cause a game crash. Everything else seems to be working without any issues. You live and you learn. Hopefully I'll have the Infinite Health working 100% soon.
Excellent. I'll be waiting for an update.
dc duo 6600|Sapphire HD 4870x2 1gb|4gb supertalent|250 WD
just so you know, your trainer wasnt properly uploaded onto the GCW website
I scanned using virusscan.jotti.org. It doesn't mean its infected as the way trainers work often report false positives. So i just posted the scan to let people download at their own risk.
hows it coming along? really looking forward to a working inf health option
GCW has another trainer that is +2 for health and diamonds. It works well but for the fact that with infinite health makes the screen jump like I'm on fire. It only just satrted doing this for me and worked for over an hour great.
yea i tried that one too, but the screen shaking sux so im waiting for a proper one

"Videos are great for presenting visual information and emotional appeals, but not particularly effective at diving below the surface of non-visual theoretical or abstract topics or for driving critical thinking. What's more, any video presented in class must compete for attention and memory with the five-plus hours the typical student spends outside of class watching television programs, movies, and other onscreen entertainment.

Customer Reviews
Doesn't meet expectations
I have seen this game on itunes for over two years now, and i just think it's too expensive. and now its an extra .99 cents to play marks story? The demo is okay, I mean its a cute concept, but even according to their toatl rating this game is just "okay". I'm a little disappointed in Natsume because in my honest opinion every game I have played by them was amazing! And this game just seems like its here on itunes to just exsist... I really hope natsume changes this game so that it can get the 5 stars that I know they deserve. But as for now, this game is just 3 stars.
-Also, if natsume did put an old harvest moon game on here, like "back to nature", I would pay up to $25 dollars for it
Make a real one please
My first HM game was MFMT for the Game Boy, then HMDS, Frantic Farming for the DS, then HMDSC. I would love it if you made a real game for the iPhone because I can't take the DS everywhere I go. I think $8 is a good price, and it doesn't have to have all the same features as the real game. People, please stop rating it low because you want the full version. That's just childish-- it is what it is. Rate the game on your opinion. Natsume, if your reading this make it where you have to own the game to review.
It's a pretty good game, but there needs to be a option to mute music.
Dear Natsume
This is a loyal fan reaching out to you, not to badger you or to demand something from you. But I think we both know that putting a Harvest Moon game on the iPhone would result in a lot of revenue for you. I would be happy with just Bio's of all the characters so far (writing a fan comic.) I'm not begging, I'm just making a suggestion. And I did enjoy this game a lot ^u^

Oops - I goofed
Saturday I was at the nursing home for a tea they were giving the mothers. Among other things they were honoring the mother with the most children -- she had ten. None of them were present. I said to myself, "Well, it looks like some of them could have showed up."
Sunday, Mothers' Day, I went back at lunch time. There was entertainment. Two excellent musicians were there to entertain the rest of us in the dining room. One of them said, "That's my Mom, over there." (The lady with the ten children.) I stayed an hour and a half and they were still there entertaining when I left. So much for my judgemental attitude. Do you think I may be in for another personal growth period? It looks like I need it.
By the way, Mother just loved the entertainment. She would clap her hands!
That's an honest goof, Pearl. I sorta thought that a party the day before MD might not bring in all the families, since it's hard to corral families on one day of a spring weekend, much less two days, Staurday and Sunday.
It sounds like a great party.
SOmetimes we see things thru clouds, doncha think? And then the sun comes out!

Got this new dress (that we are using as a kimono), by the amazing Arnhem Clothing. We snapped this pictures right before we took of.
In this moment we're in Oslo, about to start our next big adventure. We will drive a cross Norway to Lysefjord and then back. We're up for in total 20 h driving. But as it just began to snow heavily, and the car is set with summer tires, we will probably be sliding away on the roads for a few extra hours. But as they say, the journey is the destination.
We are looking forward to breath the majestic mountains and water our mouths with the Fjords. We've been longing for this to long, it's definitely time.

I use a 2-winged stirring rod on a power drill , it can whip a really nice vortex into 11 gallons with no trouble at all , leaves a nice cone as well

Man, I love this forum. I've learned more in the short time I've been a member here than I could've possibly imagined. Thanks for sharing such great information. I think it's awesome that a 7 year old thread still gets traffic. Wonderful.
Came upon this thread in research on doing a whirlpool. When I view the thread on my ipad, it shows broken links for images. When I view on my computer, there's no pictures at all. Am I the only one who can't see the images from the OP on the first few posts of this thread?
Thanks, winvarin.
So, I'm trying to work whirlpooling into my brew session and I'm having an issue. I've just installed a 2nd port for the return whirlpool using a pump. Here's a pick depicting the set up of the valves. BTW, this pot is approx 20" in diameter. The whirlpool valve has a 1/2in street elbow on the inside of the pot and the liquid drain valve just has a 1/2in hose bard for now (this was a test).
I was able to things swirling, but there was no visible vortex there. It was almost like the flow was either not strong enough or being disrupted by not have the dip tube. I don't have a depiction of this, but does this make sense? Can anyone offer some advice? I can run it again tonight and upload a picture or video of it if needed. Thanks!

al Qaeda Linked Militants Claim To Hold Hostages In Algeria
Militants linked with al Qaeda claim they have taken hostages in Algeria, including Americans, after an attack driven by the fighting in Mali.
FOX News Radio's Simon Owen has the latest:
Audio clip:
The White House says it's monitoring the situation closely. A militant group is claiming to have taken 41 Westerners hostage. That reportedly includes at least three Americans.
The kidnappers attacked a natural gas field operated by BP in Southern Algeria.
And a group linked to al Qaeda says it's revenge for France's military intervention in Algeria's neighbor Mali, which has been underway for six days now.
The group says that campaign must end to secure the hostages' safety.

About Sandy Collier
Welcome to my web site of watercolors and photographs! I discovered my love for watercolor after a 35 year career in nursing. Watercolor is a medium that no one taught, in my 4 years of high school art, or museum classes. It has been on my wish-list to learn for many years. Watercolor has such surprising possibilities. You never know what fascination will happen when your brush touches the paper. I have taken painting classes from four wonderful, local watercolor artists and attend workshops. My work is on display frequently with Mint Hill Arts Gallery (NC), and the Cabarrus Art Guild at the Depot at Gibson Mill, in Concord, NC.
As a child, I was always interested in art, nature, and taking photographs. I had the privilege of taking a Master Gardener course 15 years ago. My love for gardens and flowers has been the inspiration for many of my paintings. I was introduced to photography at an early age by my Grandmother, and have taken hundreds of photos, many being of plants from our garden. Everyone tells me I am a colorist! Color adds beauty to the world. Some days we need this beauty more then others, in this trying environment. I hope my paintings bring peace, joy, happiness, and a smile, to all who view! My husband and I live in North Carolina now, but are originally from Ohio, and have two married sons.
If you are interested in purchasing any of my original watercolors, please feel free to contact me to see if they are still available.

Thirty-four years ago, Louis P. gave me a green pepper. And that's why I am here today. It was my first day working at a state institution on the East Coast. On my way in the door, a small man in a baseball hat and a dark gray overcoat about five sizes too big for him called out to me. He was standing beside a tiny garden plot that had been planted beside the entrance. Two wildly overgrown tomato plants sprawled through an uneven row of pepper plants. A lone eggplant gleamed darkly from the tangle of vines and stalks. Marigolds had been planted in a tight circle around the vegetables. I knew this was an old gardener's trick. The pungent smell of marigolds keeps bugs from finding the tender leaves of young vegetables.
"Hey, c'mere."
"Can I help you?"
"Here. Take it." He handed me a stunted green pepper.
"No really, I can't."
"Take it. It's okay."
I kept that pepper. I dried it in the sun and kept it on all my desks for fifteen years. Louis and I only knew each other for four of those years. We were part of the team closing down that institution. I read a poem at his funeral. But in those four years Louis taught me my purpose in life. To be a care giver. To help others find freedom, to realize their potential, to try things they might never have tried.
Knowing Louis gave me courage to follow my own path in life. I've been a case manager, a free-lance writer, and an area administrator in charge of nine group homes and a work activity center. Until recently I was a partner in a fiduciary firm that specialized in helping vulnerable adults who were victims of financial abuse. When the Board of Directors offered me the position of Executive Director for Imagine Possibilities just before Christmas last year, I did a happy dance that would have made Snoopy proud. I feel blessed to have been given the opportunity to lead IP into its next era.
Imagine Possibilities was founded 56 years ago to be a place where people with special needs could be safe, comfortable, and have a measure of happiness. Now we are looking to a future where all our participants, staff and families can share their special gifts. We are a unique community and we would like you to join us in our next phase. My predecessor Cathy Schaefer has left an enduring legacy through her care for the participants and staff at IP. Estela Rosas is both a talented administrator and a gifted care giver. Lead staff Sandra Mandujano and Shiva Shahrashoob have over 25 years of experience between them. There is a constant feeling of caring and connection that flows through the days. Please come visit and see for yourself.
W. Kevin Burke
Executive Director

Veteran South African paddler Oscar Chalupsky's bid to claim the iconic Molokai Challenge surfski ultra marathon title ended with a ninth place finish in Hawaii on Sunday.
South African champion Sean Rice came within a whisker of winning the race on debut, finishing second behind Australian Olympic gold medallist Clint Robinson.
Rice led with less than two kilometres to go in the brutal 52km crossing of the Kaiwi Channel, but was beaten to the finish at the Hawaii Kai Town Centre.
The 50-year-old Chalupsky had dominated the 52km race since he first won it in 1983 as a 20-year-old, the first of seven consecutive victories.
"Congratulations to Clint (Robinson) for the win today," Chalupsky said.
"It was very tough for me today, but ninth was all I could expect in the headwind conditions."
Chalupsky led a bunch of contenders including Robinson and Rice on a northerly line from the start, staying on the rum line, while Martin Kenny spearheaded a group that went slightly further south.
"I started really well but, as the headwind wore on, the younger guys started to come through," Chalupsky said.
"It was probably the toughest Molokai I have done. My average speed was 11.5km/h, when we usually average around 16km/h on a typical Molokai."
Racing on flat seas in extreme heat and a slight northerly wind from the side, the race turned into a relentless grind with no downwind runs available to the paddlers.
Robinson gradually took the race by the scruff of the neck, sticking close to the rum line and, an hour-and-a-half into the race, the field was strung out with Robinson leading Sam Norton, Sean Rice, Dane Sloss and Chalupsky in fifth.
As they approached Portlock Point, the race had become a two-horse affair, with Rice taking the lead over Robinson while they were well clear of the rest of the contenders.
By the time the leaders approached the China Wall, Robinson was back in front, and caught a wave into the finish.
"Conditions were really tough, but the wind from the right cooled things down a bit," Robinson said.
Australian Miranda Davis won the women's race, with a 25th place finish overall.

Cameron from CA – Verified Buyer
I love what it does & it is just an awesome product. It works well & does exactly what it is meant to do. One of the best our there that I have seen & tried.
great item
Ruth Davis from Cambridge, NY – Verified Buyer
It's wonderful. The function that zeroes out the weight of the bowl is invaluable. The only negative thing I can say is that when you turn it on, the default is grams, not ounces. Otherwise, perfect.
Incredibly Easy to Use
Healthy&Homemade from San Diego, CA
I love this scale. It's easy to use and very accurate in terms of weight. I love that I can hit zero and cancel out the weight of the bowl I'm putting ingredients into. The coding sheet that comes with is awesome for calculating the calories of a meal. This is helpful for those dieting or watching their calories, fats, carbs, etc.
Great Scale
Edna A from Texas
I enjoy the scale and it's very accurate. I definitely recommend it to those who are considering counting calories. It's a lot of work but totally worthwhile.

Great Product

This is just the item my wife was looking for! She wants to be able to measure her food intake using a scale that not only measured volume but also the calories, etc. of the dish. thanks
Love this scale!

Cool gadget!

ABSTRACT: Because of its atomic thickness, excellent properties, and widespread applications, graphene is regarded as one of the most promising candidate materials for nanoelectronics. The wider use of graphene will require processes that produce this material in a controllable manner. In this Account, we focus on our recent studies of the controllable chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of graphene, especially few-layer graphene (FLG), and the applications of this material in electronic devices. CVD provides various means of control over the morphologies of the produced graph ene. We studied several variables that can affect the CVD growth of graphene, including the catalyst, gas flow rate, growth time, and growth temperature and successfully achieved the controlled growth of hexagonal graphene crystals. Moreover, we developed several modified CVD methods for the controlled growth of FLGs. Patterned CVD produced FLGs with desired shapes in required areas. By introducing dopant precursor in the CVD process, we produced substitutionally doped FLGs, avoiding the typically complicated post-treatment processes for graphene doping. We developed a template CVD method to produce FLG ribbons with controllable morphologies on a large scale. An oxidation-activated surface facilitated the CVD growth of polycrystalline graphene without the use of a metal catalyst or a complicated postgrowth transfer process. In devices, CVD offers a controllable means to modulate the electronic properties of the graphene samples and to improve device performance. Using CVD-grown hexagonal graphene crystals as the channel materials in field-effect transistors (FETs), we improved carrier mobility. Substitutional doping of graphene in CVD opened a band gap for efficient FET operation and modulated the Fermi energy level for n-type or p-type features. The similarity between the chemical structure of graphene and organic semiconductors suggests potential applications of graphene in organic devices. We used patterned CVD FLGs as the bottom electrodes in pentacene FETs. The strong π-π interactions between graphene and pentacene produced an excellent interface with low contact resistance and a reduced injection barrier, which dramatically enhances the device performance. We also fabricated reversible nanoelectromechanical (NEM) switches and a logic gate using the FLG ribbons produced using our template CVD method. In summary, CVD provides a controllable means to produce graphene samples with both large area and high quality. We developed several modified CVD methods to produce FLG samples with controlled shape, location, edge, layer, dopant, and growth substrate. As a result, we can modulate the properties of FLGs, which provides materials that could be used in FETs, OFETs, and NEM devices. Despite remarkable advances in this field, further exploration is required to produce consistent, homogeneous graphene samples with single layer, single crystal, and large area for graphene-based electronics.Accounts of Chemical Research 07/2012; 46(1).

ABSTRACT: Graphene, a two-dimensional material, is regarded as one of the most promising candidates for future nanoelectronics due to its atomic thickness, excellent properties and widespread applications. As the first step to investigate its properties and finally to realize the practical applications, graphene must be synthesized in a controllable manner. Thus, controllable synthesis is of great significance, and received more and more attention recently. This Progress Report highlights recent advances in controllable synthesis of graphene, clarifies the problems, and prospects the future development in this field. The applications of the controllable synthesis are also discussed.Advanced Materials 08/2010; 22(30):3225-41. DOI:10.1002/adma.200904144 · 15.41 Impact Factor
Article: A Generalized Method for Evaluating the Metallic-to-Semiconducting Ratio of Separated Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes by UV−vis−NIR Characterization[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A general and useful method has been developed to evaluate the metallic-to-semiconducting (M/S) ratio for separated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). By virtue of measuring UV−vis−NIR spectra of a variety of solutions with different ratios of metallic-rich to semiconducting-rich SWNTs, the commercial IsoNanotubes samples as well as metallic-rich HiPCO SWNTs (HiPCO-M) separated by an Agarose gel method have been evaluated. Values of 99.5% metallic contents for IsoNanotubes-M, 98.9% semiconducting contents for IsoNanotubes-S, and 1.24 for the absorption coefficient of IsoNanotubes, whereas 80.4% metallic contents for HiPCO-M and 1.05 for the absorption coefficient of HiPCO SWNTs were obtained. This method does not need pure metallic (M-) or semiconducting (S-) SWNTs as references. Furthermore, we found that this method can also be applied to evaluate the M/S ratio for any SWNT samples.The Journal of Physical Chemistry C 07/2010; 114(28):12095-12098.

ABSTRACT: Molecular electronics are considered one of the most promising ways to meet the challenge of micro-electronics facing its scaling down pathway. Molecular devices, especially molecular scale field-effect transistors (MSFET), are key building blocks for molecular electronics. Three major hurdles to device fabrication are yet to be overcome: electrode pairs must be fabricated with a controllable gap size commensurate with the functional molecule size of interest; the molecules of interest must be arranged between the electrodes with precise location and orientation control; and stable, conducting contacts must be made between the molecules and the electrodes. We have combined "top-down" and "bottom-up" approaches to solve these problems. Using photolithography and molecular lithography with self-assembled mono/multiple molecule layer(s) as a resist, we fabricated electrode structures with a controllable molecular-scale gap between source and drain electrodes and a third terminal of a buried gate. For our device, we synthesized a thiolated phthalocyanine derivative molecule, {di-[1-(S-acetylthio)-4-ethynylphenyl]-di-(tert-butyl)phthalocyanato}copper(II), with acetylthio groups on both ends, conjugated with ethynylphenylgroups. The synthesized end-thiolated molecules were assembled between the tailored molecular gap of the as-fabricated FET electrode structures in solution via Au–S bonding, forming stable contacts between the electrodes and the molecules, and a 3 terminal MSFET device was formed. Electrical measurements show that the device has characteristics of a typical FET device. The field-effect mobility of the as-fabricated MS-FET is 0.16 cm2 V−1 s−1.Journal of Materials Chemistry 01/2010; 20(12). DOI:10.1039/b922958b · 6.63 Impact Factor
Article: Synthesis and Photoelectric Properties of Coaxial Schottky Junctions of ZnS and Carbon Nanotubes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures of the wide band gap semiconductors are promising building blocks for photoelectric nanodevices. However, some problems like strong 1D confinement largely hamper their applications. To avoid these problems, here, we provide another 1D configuration, in which an inner-wire coaxial Schottky junction exists, thus effectively avoiding the recombination of the photoexcited carriers. As an example, we produce ZnS/carbon nanotube nanocables with uniform morphologies by a two-step vapor deposition method and find that they have good conductance, obvious light response, and ohmic contacts with electrodes, avoiding the limitations of both the pristine nanomaterials. We believe that this configuration would be valuable for applying the 1D nanomaterials in photoelectronics.Chemistry of Materials 12/2009; 22(2). DOI:10.1021/cm900929h · 8.54 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are a promising material for future nanotechnology. However, their applications are still limited in success because of the co-existence of metallic SWNTs and semiconducting SWNTs produced samples. Here, electrochemical etching, which shows both diameter and electrical selectivity, is demonstrated to remove SWNTs. With the aid of a back-gate electric field, selective removal of metallic SWNTs is realized, resulting in high-performance SWNT field-effect transistors with pure semiconducting SWNT channels. Moreover, electrochemical etching is realized on a selective area. These findings would be valuable for research and the application of SWNTs in electrochemistry and in electronic devices.Advanced Functional Materials 11/2009; 19(22):3618 - 3624.

ABSTRACT: Controllable and scalable production is of great importance for the application of graphene; however, to date, it is still a great challenge and a major obstacle which hampers its practical applications. Here, we develop a template chemical vapor deposition method for scalable synthesis of few-layer graphene ribbons (FLGRs) with controlled morphologies. The FLGRs have a good conductivity and are ideal for use in nanoelectromechanics (NEM). As an application, we fabricate a reversible NEM switch and a logic gate by using the FLGRs. This work realizes both controllable and scalable synthesis of graphene, provides an application of graphene in NEM switches, and would be valuable for both the scientific studies and the practical applications of graphene.Journal of the American Chemical Society 08/2009; 131(31):11147-54.

ABSTRACT: To realize graphene-based electronics, various types of graphene are required; thus, modulation of its electrical properties is of great importance. Theoretic studies show that intentional doping is a promising route for this goal, and the doped graphene might promise fascinating properties and widespread applications. However, there is no experimental example and electrical testing of the substitutionally doped graphene up to date. Here, we synthesize the N-doped graphene by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. We find that most of them are few-layer graphene, although single-layer graphene can be occasionally detected. As doping accompanies with the recombination of carbon atoms into graphene in the CVD process, N atoms can be substitutionally doped into the graphene lattice, which is hard to realize by other synthetic methods. Electrical measurements show that the N-doped graphene exhibits an n-type behavior, indicating substitutional doping can effectively modulate the electrical properties of graphene. Our finding provides a new experimental instance of graphene and would promote the research and applications of graphene.Nano Letters 04/2009; 9(5):1752-8. DOI:10.1021/nl803279t · 13.03 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: For the miniaturization of microelectronics, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are regarded as ideal candidates for the next generation of nanoelectronics because of their excellent properties. To realize CNT-based electronics, intramolecular junctions are required components, which can not only connect different CNTs for integration, but can also act as functional building blocks in the circuit, such as rectifiers, field-effect transistors, switches, amplifiers, photoelectrical devices, etc. Therefore, intense attention has been focused on this topic and many advances have been achieved, especially in recent years. On the other hand, some challenges also exist. To provide researchers with a comprehensive overview of this field, this review discusses the synthesis, properties, and applications of intramolecular junctions of CNTs in detail. Among them, the applications of CNT integration are discussed specially. Furthermore, a brief summary and an outlook of future work are provided.Advanced Materials 08/2008; 20(15):2815 - 2841.

ABSTRACT: Molecular electronics is often limited by the lack of a simple method to fabricate nanoelectrodes with controlled gap size. This is partly attributed to the lack of a real time characterization in the fabrication. Here, we report a new method based on an electron induced deposition process operated in scanning electron microscopy that realizes in situ and real time characterization in the nanoelectrode fabrication; thus the gap size can be controlled easily and precisely. It is a clean and nondestructive process for carbon nanotube (CNT) electrodes. The mechanism is detailed. The nanoelectrodes have a pi-conjugated surface due to the deposition of sp(2)-rich amorphous carbon. As an application, DNA molecules are assembled between the CNT electrodes by pi-stacking interaction for current-voltage measurement. Our result provides a feasible route to prepare nanoelectrodes with controlled gap size, and it will be valuable for current efforts in molecular electronics and nanoelectronics.Nano Letters 07/2008; 8(6):1625-30.

Article: Efficient modification of Cu electrode with nanometer-sized copper tetracyanoquinodimethane for high performance organic field-effect transistors.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report high performance organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with the modified Cu bottom-contact electrodes. Efficient modification of the Cu electrodes with nanometer-size copper tetracyanoquinodimethane (Cu-TCNQ) increases the electrode/organic layer contact area and reduces contact resistance. We investigated the effect of the Cu-TCNQ morphology on the device performance. The pentacene-based OFETs with the modified Cu bottom-contact electrodes exhibited high device performance. The field-effect mobility up to 0.31 cm(2)/V s was achieved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest device performance for the OFETs with the bottom Cu electrodes ever reported. Consequently, our results provide an effective approach to fabricate high performance and low-cost OFETs.Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics 06/2008; 10(17):2302-7.

ABSTRACT: A simple acid treatment method was applied to remove the catalyst impurities and other residues contaminated in the vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays. We demonstrated that acid treatment was an efficient approach for aligned carbon nanotube purification. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the morphology of the aligned carbon nanotube arrays and to determine the efficiency of the purification. Using hydrochloric acid could efficiently eliminate catalyst impurities and retain the original structures of the aligned carbon nanotube arrays. The method provided a simple, economical, and effective way to purify the aligned carbon nanotubes, and it would promote the applications of vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays in electronic field.ACTA PHYSICO-CHIMICA SINICA 06/2008; 24(6):951-954.

In the post-game after a 94-82 loss at the hand of the surging Boston Celtics, New Jersey Net star point guard Deron Williams was asked about the struggles of the Wizards' John Wall, and Williams didn't exactly have the best things to say about Wall's supporting cast.
Colin Stephenson of the Newark Star-Ledger has the tweet:
Deron on John Wall: "He's had a tough cast down there. I don't want to put anybody down, but he's not playing with the smartest guys."
— Colin Stephenson (@Ledger_Nets) April 15, 2012
It's not as if Deron is exactly breaking news here, but it is always interesting when you've built that sort of reputation as a team to the point that other players are coming out in the media to mention your incompetence. Deron has never been shy about expressing himself, and is always quite candid when answering questions. Mind you, he is saying this AFTER the Wizards traded away Javale Mcgee, who was always known for at least one "what in the world was he thinking?" play a game during his tenure with Washington.
