NEW YORK—The 1,985-room New York Hilton Midtown completed its executive level room refurbishment incorporating 187 guestrooms and 41 suites on floors 39-44, which constitutes the first phase of a complete guestroom renovation program planned for the next few years. The guestroom refurbishment project will continue for the next few years until the entire inventory is completed by 2016.
"The new room design features an inviting, sleek and contemporary design that will provide our guests with a tranquil oasis in the heart of the hustle and bustle of midtown Manhattan," stated Mark Lauer, general manager, New York Hilton Midtown. "The unique, relaxed approach to the design will provide our guests with a superior room product complete with innovative flourishes including custom dimmable lighting, oversized televisions, multiple power point options, relaxing lounge opportunities and abundant workspaces. We are looking forward to completing subsequent phases of the overall room renovation over the next few years."
Dallas-based interior design firm Looney & Associates developed the design, which features a color palette of soothing blues and greys. Warm neutral accents are introduced throughout the room, such as oil rubbed bronze and natural oak wood designed to provide depth and richness to the color palette. These elements also aim to transform the window into the room's artwork by focusing all attention on the views out to Manhattan.
Other design elements include a velvet signature lounge chair paired with refined wool drapery; dimmable lamps designed to resemble glowing orbs; an oversized, modern clock that activates the desk wall and acts as an integral kinetic piece of artwork; a cantilevered work surface; a 55-in. flat screen TV; and flexible power pucks throughout the room.
The bathroom offers a large illuminated mirror, built in shelving and stone ledges. The corridors have also been fully renovated utilizing the same color palette of the guestrooms and orb-inspired white and bronze tear-drop wall sconce fixtures.
Other capital improvements to the hotel that were recently completed include the implementation of a new cabling infrastructure which supports the WiFi network; the recent renovation of all lobby level areas including a new reception area, an Executive Lounge, improved lighting design and the installation of new stone flooring throughout the lobby level; and the opening of the first Herb N' Kitchen, a new dining concept that infuses fresh, local gourmet food into an upscale restaurant.
Additional planned capital improvements include a renovation of the hotel's Grand Ballroom, offering over 25,000 sq. ft. of flexible meeting space and its Foyer and Promenade, scheduled to complete by end of third quarter 2014. Walls will feature softened hues of grays, blues and creams and carpeting will draw upon an abstract art concept of a more traditional sunburst pattern. An interlocking crystal ring fixture will serve as the main chandelier.
Also set to complete by the end of the third quarter is a refurbishment of the 12,716-sq.-ft. Sutton Hall and Nassau ballroom complex. The renovation is inspired by the dynamic midtown location of the hotel, according to the company. The carpet is designed to be an artistic abstraction of movement, while the lighting is meant to complement the linear quality of the carpet design through the use of straight, crisply crafted crystals that will be constructed in both circles and squares.
The first phase of the new multimillion dollar room refurbishment comes on the heels of the hotel's 50th anniversary, which was held last June.

Technology used to be considered impersonal. You know, the idea of the "robotic mind," no human interaction. But, the reality is technology is actually very personal and becoming more so by the day. Devices are so in sync with their users, they've become the personal secretaries to the masses. This is even more true when talking connected wearables.

We report the synthesis, fabrication and extensive characterization of a visible-blind
photodetector based on p–i–n junction GaN nanowire ensembles. The nanowires were grown
by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on an n-doped Si(111) substrate, encapsulated into
a spin-on-glass and processed using dry etching and metallization techniques. The detector
presents a high peak responsivity of 0.47 A W−1at −1 V. The spectral response of the detector
is restricted to the UV range with a UV-to-visible rejection ratio of 2 × 102. The dependence on
the incident power and the operation speed of the photodetector are discussed.

1. Introduction
Visible-blind and solar-blind UV photodetectors find appli-
cations in numerous fields such as industry (fire detection,
chemical flame sensing), defense (missile tracking, gun-shot
detection), scientific research (UV astronomy, biological and
medical applications), health care, etc [1]. GaAlN alloys in
the form of thin films have been successfully used for UV
photodetectors[2]. In comparison toSiC, which iswidely used
for UV imaging, GaAlN has a higher absorption coefficient, a
direct bandgap tailorable from 360 to 200 nm and a sharper
cut-off. However, thin film GaAlN photodetectors suffer from
the lack of cheap lattice-matched substrate.
performance is limited by the large density (up to 109cm−2)
of threading dislocations present in the AlGaN layers grown
on foreign substrates.
The material quality can be greatly improved by replacing
thin films with nanowires.
nanowire growth has been demonstrated on highlymismatched
substrates such as sapphire [3, 4], and also low-cost substrates
such as Si(111) [5, 6] and Si(001) [7]. Moreover, the small
nanowire size and the high photoconductive gain demonstrated
in ZnO [8] and GaN [9] single nanowire photodetectors
are very promising for the fabrication of focal plane arrays

with diffraction-limited spatial resolution and very high
responsivity. Photoconduction of single GaN nanowires has
been studied by many groups revealing the importance of the
free lateral surface [10]. UV photodetectors based on a p–
n junction in a single GaN nanowire [11] and on a single
nanowire containing GaN/AlN quantum discs [12] have been
reported. Photodetectors based on nanowire ensembles have
been demonstrated making use of a p–n junction between two
different materials (for example, n-type GaN nanowires on
p-type Si substrate [13] or n-type ZnO nanowires on p-type
GaN substrate [14]). However, no photodetectors based on
GaN nanowire ensembles containing a p–n junction have been
demonstrated so far.
In the present study, we report the synthesis, fabrication
and extensive characterization of a visible-blind photodetector
based on p–i–n junction GaN nanowire ensembles.

2. Device fabrication
GaN nanowires were grown on an n+-type Si(111) substrate
in an MBE reactor using a plasma cell for nitrogen supply.
The Si substrate was cleaned with acetone, IPA and de-ionized
water with an ultrasonic bath to remove residual organic
contaminations and then etched in HF:H2O = 1:10 solution
for 5 min to remove native oxide. Before starting the growth,
the substrate was thermally cleaned at 850◦C for 50 min
and a 7 × 7 RHEED pattern corresponding to a clear Si
surface was observed. GaN nanowires were grown at 790◦C
substrate temperature under nitrogen rich conditions.
procedure results in a dense ensemble of nanowires shown
in figure 1(a). The nanowire density is ∼1010cm−2, giving
an average substrate coverage of ∼75%. The average height
is 0.9 ± 0.1 μm and the diameter is 50 ± 20 nm.
nanowire base (0.4 μm) is n-doped with Si, it is followed by a
nominally undoped GaN segment (0.1 μm), and the nanowire
top (0.4 μm) is p-doped with Mg. The dopant concentrations
are estimated from the Hall measurements on 2D layers grown
at the same growth rate and dopant flux. These measurements

between nanowires was filled with spin-on-glass (hydrogen
silsesquioxane (HSQ)) by spin coating technique. The HSQ
was then transformed into SiOx using oxygen plasma and
thermal annealing.The excess of HSQ was removed by
CF4 dry etching to expose the nanowire tips.
photodetectors(showninfigure 1(b))withsizes300×300μm2
were then defined using optical lithography and dry etching.
One mesa contains approximately 107nanowires. The CF4
chemistry is suitable to etch down into the Si substrate, which
allows removal of the unwanted nanowires outside the mesas.
Si substrate was used as the bottom contact. The top mesa
surface was covered with 200 nm of a conductive indium tin
oxide (ITO) layer to contact the nanowire tips. Ti (10 nm)/Au
(150 nm) metallization was then deposited on the Si substrate
and on the top mesa surface leaving the central part of the mesa
open for illumination. Figure 1(c) schematically represents the
nanowire photodetector.

3. Photodetector characterizations
3.1. Electrical properties
The electrical properties of the mesa photodetectors were
analyzed using a cryogenic probe station and a Keithley 2636
source-meter unit. Figure 2 shows a dark current–voltage (I–
V) characteristic at room temperature. The I–V curve exhibits
a rectifying behavior with a turn-on voltage of about 1 V. The
room temperature (RT) dark resistance at zero bias is∼36M?.
The reverse leakage current at −1 V is 8×10−7A. The reverse
current increases up to ∼1 × 10−3A at −30 V and then the
detector breakdown is observed.
In thin film GaN p–n diodes the dark current mainly
originates from carrier hopping through defect states in
the space charge region, believed to be associated with

dislocations [15].
structures, the leakage current should have a different origin.
The observed reverse current may be attributed to the
conductivity of the nanowire surface, which is not fully
passivated by the HSQ encapsulation. Taking into account
the nanowire density, the leakage current per nanowire is
∼90 fA at −1 V. Transport studies on single p–n junction GaN
nanowires report a much higher reverse current per nanowire
(∼0.3 nA at −1 V [16] and ∼80 nA at −1 V [11]) attributed
to the presence of trap levels within the bandgap [16].
separate micro-photoluminescence investigation performed on
single p–i–n nanowires of the present study has not revealed
deep level emission. However, the presence of non-optically
active defects cannot be excluded.
The inset to figure 2 displays an Arrhenius plot illustrating
theevolutionofthe darkcurrent at −1Vbiaswithtemperature.
The dependence is well approximated by a bi-exponential
Since nanowires are dislocation free

dependence implies a thermally activated mechanism of the
dark current. Chen et al [17] have reported a similar activation
energy (56 meV) for the temperature dependent transport in
thinhomogeneous GaN nanowires. It has been attributed to the
deep surface states. The hypothesisof hopping through surface
states can be applied in the present case to the transport in the
depleted region of the p–i–n junction. However, we cannot
exclude that the 45 meV activation energy in our case is related
tothepotentialbarrier inthe conductionbandbetween n-doped
GaN nanowire base and n-doped Si substrate. This barrier
is predicted to be of the order of 50 meV (cf figure 4 below
and the related discussion). The second activation energy of
160 meV could be tentatively attributed to the contribution of a
discrete deep level observed in photocurrent deep level optical
spectroscopymeasurementsonGaNn-typenanowires[18, 19].
It should be noted that we do not observe an activation energy
corresponding to the potential barrier expected between p-type
GaN and ITO contact, which equals 0.8 eV [20].
probably due to the insufficient temperature range explored in
our measurements.

3.2. Optical response
The dark I–V curves are compared to the I–V curves under
UV illumination at λ = 356 nm with an incident power on
the mesa of 1.6 μW (power density of 1.8 × 10−3W cm−2).
Figure 3 presents the dark I–V curve and the I–V curve under
illumination with λ = 500 nm light at room temperature,
as well as the I–Vs under UV illumination measured at
different temperatures. The reverse current increases under
UV illumination by almost two orders of magnitude due to
electron–hole pair generation in the p–i–n junction.
curves shift towards positive voltage under illumination as a
result of the photovoltage generated in the nanowires. This
shift increases at low temperatures following a linear law,
Figure 3. Current–voltage characteristics under UV illumination at
300, 200, 100 and 4 K. Dashed lines show the dark I–V and the I–V
under illumination with λ = 500 nm light at RT.
Figure 4. Band alignment scheme along the nanowire growth
which is typical for photovoltaic devices [21]. As shown in
figure 3, the I–Vs are almost unchanged under illumination
with visible light; only a weak current increase (by less than
2 × 10−6A at 1 V) is observed for the positive bias.
Figure 4 shows a schematic band profile along the
nanowire growth axis. Based on the electron affinities of Si
(4.05 eV) and GaN (4.1 eV) [22], the conduction band offset
between Si and GaN is expected to be small (of the order of
50 meV). Therefore there is almost no potential barrier for
photogenerated electrons to flow into the Si substrate, which
is beneficial for detector performance. The electron–hole pairs
generated in the p–i–n junction are efficiently separated by the
built-in field and are collected by the top ITO p-contact and the
bottom Si n-contact.

Figure 5. RT photocurrent spectrum under zero applied bias.
The room temperature photocurrent at −1 V (0 V) under
illumination at 356 nm with incident power of 1.6 μW
is 7.5 × 10−7A (1.45 × 10−7A) giving a detector
responsivity of 0.47 A W−1(0.09 A W−1). The open circuit
photovoltage under the same illumination conditions is 35 mV
corresponding to a responsivity of 2.2 × 104V W−1.
should be noted that the measured responsivity of the nanowire
photodetector is higher than that of thin film GaN photodiodes
To probe the surface homogeneity of the photoresponse,
a line scan across the inner mesa surface (free from
metallization) was performed using a UV laser focused into a
spot of ∼5 μm diameter. The measured photocurrent signal is
independent of the excitation position. This demonstrates the
good current spreading ensured by the ITO top contact layer.
3.3. Photocurrent spectroscopy
The spectral response of the photodetector was measured
using a tunable vis–UV light source focused on the mesa,
consisting of a Xe lamp coupled with a Jobin Yvon Triax 180
spectrometer. Figure 5 shows the RT photocurrent spectrum
under zero applied bias in logarithmic scale. The photocurrent
appears at ∼3.27 eV and increases by more than two orders
of magnitude between 3.3 and 3.4 eV. The rejection ratio
between the UV and the visible photocurrent is ∼2 × 102.
The photocurrent reaches its maximum value at 3.46 eV and
then slightly decreases at higher energies. This decrease is due
to the light absorption in the ITO contact layer, which has a
good transparency in the near UV range, but starts to absorb
at energies higher that 3.5 eV [24]. The photocurrent onset
at an energy slightly lower than the GaN bandgap (3.27 eV)
can be explained by Franz–Keldysh effect due to the lateral
band bending in nanowires [25]. Another interpretation was
proposed by Armstrong et al [18, 19] attributing the sub-
bandgap onset of the photocurrent to a photoionization of a
deep bandgap state.
Figure 6. RT photocurrent as a function of incident power.
It shouldbe noted that contrary to photodetectors based on
ZnO nanowires on Si substrate [26], no spectral contribution
at the Si bandgap energy was observed either under direct or
under reverse bias. This demonstrates that the photocurrent
in the present device is related to the absorption in the
nanowires and not in the substrate. Contrary to the n-type ZnO
photodetector [26], the potential barrier created by the p–i–n
3.4. Power dependence and operation speed
Figure 6 shows the variation of photocurrent with incident
power.The detector was illuminated with a light-emitting
diode at λ = 356 nm and the power was changed over four
decades. At power levels lower than 0.6 μW (corresponding
to the power density of 6 × 10−4W cm−2), the detector
response is linear with the incident power.
higher power levels, the response deviates from linear and
almost saturates above 10 μW.
the nanowire photodetector is degraded with respect to its
thin film counterparts, for which the response is linear up
to 0.2 W cm−2[23]. This degradation can be due to
the photogenerated carrier trapping/release at the nanowire
The surface-related phenomena also affect the operation
speed of the photodetector. The RT photocurrent transients
measured by following the detector response to a 60 ms long
square light pulse (λ = 356 nm) are shown in figure 7. The
photocurrent builds up following a bi-exponential dependence
with time constants t1 = 2.5 ms and t2 = 22 ms.
relaxation after illumination is stopped also exhibits a bi-
exponential decay with characteristic times τ1 = 6.2 ms and
τ2 = 105 ms, which is considerably slower than in thin
film photodiodes [27]. However, the photodetector −3 dB
cut-off of ∼100 Hz is compatible with many UV imaging
applications. Slow photocurrent decay times (of the order
of several minutes) have been previously observed in GaN
nanowire photodetectors, attributed to the holes trapping on
the surface acceptors [28].It should be noted that these
surface-related phenomena limiting the operation speed of the
nanowire photodetectors can be reduced by a dedicated surface
passivation [29].
However, at

We have demonstrated a visible-blind UV photodetector based

detector peak responsivity is 0.47 A W−1at −1 V exceeding
that of thin film GaN p–i–n photodetectors.

Baboon, Chomsky, and Lucy Loves Schroeder appear on Buzz-Oven Volume 2, the second disc from the Buzz-Oven crew, "a collective dedicated to unleashing underground music to people of all ages!" That's what the description on the back cover of the sampler disc says anyway, and, except for the exclamation point, we agree. The project began this summer with Red Animal War, Slow Roosevelt, and Valve contributing two songs each to a free CD that volunteers ("buzzers" in Buzz-Oven's parlance) distribute at area high schools and colleges. The bands also played a pair of all-ages gigs so the kids could see what they were hearing. So far, Buzz-Oven--sponsored by One Ton Records and Coca-Cola--appears to be working, at least well enough that it's still up and running. If you get your hands on a copy of the disc, you can hear a sneak preview of Baboon's forthcoming live disc for Last Beat Records. You can definitely find one at one of the shows scheduled for the next several weeks: November 4 at the Ridglea Theater, Nov 18 at Eisenbergs Skate Park, and December 2 at Trees. Head to www.buzz-oven.com for more information, or to sign up to join the team. Or you can send an e-mail to us at email@example.com and bitch at us for not doing more to support the local scene, man. It works either way...

The disc features Dallas' own Ghoultown among its 16 contributors (including The Getting Headstones and their-moms-must-be-proud Cult of the Psychic Fetus), and Ghoultown will be one of eight bands celebrating Rockin' Necropolis' release with a gig at CBGBs on October 28. Uh, we're not gonna be in New York, you say. Never you mind: The show will be broadcast in its entirety on www.popwire.com. But, dude, our local record store doesn't wanna stock this kind of "darkly playful"--or so says Skully Records--music. Well then, head to www.skullyrecords.com. Ghoultown, by the way, should have its own new record out later this year or early next. Remember when the only category was rock and roll? Seems so long ago...
It's a helluva town: both Slow Roosevelt and Pleasant Grove will be playing in New York this week as part of the annual CMJ Music Marathon, which is like South By Southwest except it's much harder to get into clubs to see shows and we've never drunkenly passed out in a pizza joint or a hotel lobby or the women's restroom of a venue during the CMJ Music Marathon. (There's always--fingers crossed--next year.) Also on hand will be Texas expats Calla, Chaotic Past (which features erstwhile Brutal Juice bassist Sam McCall), and Bedhead, who'll be teaming up with Macha. Fun, if you're in the neighborhood...
The long-promised Christmas disc from Idol Records, Electric Ornaments, will be in stores at the end of the month. The album features contributions from Pinkston, The Adventures of Jet, Clumsy, Centro-matic, Chomsky, The Deathray Davies, and a dozen or so more. Listen for the bonus track: Our version of Bing Crosby's "Round and Round the Christmas Tree," backed by Chet Arthur. Just kidding. You know you wanna hear that, though...
Red Animal War's debut album, Breaking In An Angel, will come out on Deep Elm Records in January or February of next year most likely. But if you can't wait, and we certainly can't, check 'em out live when they play with Traindodge and The Calicoes on October 19 at Club Clearview, and Eniac, Slowride, and The End of Julia on October 21 at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios. The latter show is a CD release party for I Guess This is Goodbye, the fifth installment of Deep Elm's Emo Diaries series, which features songs by Eniac, Slowride, and The End of Julia. (Red Animal War appeared on the fourth edition of the Emo Diaries.) Go to one or both, it doesn't matter. Just go...
Once scheduled to hit the shelves around this time, Erykah Badu's forthcoming album, Mama's Gun, has been pushed back until November 21. But it's not like the former Erica Wright is laying low, with her new single "Bag Lady" topping the R&B charts, a couple of appearances on the soundtrack for Spike Lee's Bamboozled (her own "Hollywood" and a remix of Common's "In the Light"), and a turn on the latest by Gangstarr leader Guru's Jazzmatazz project, Streetsoul. By the time you get tired of those songs, Mama's Gun will be ready to go. No word on if there will be another quickie live album rushed to stores if Gun does well, but we wouldn't be surprised...
We're cheap whores: Vibrolux and Union Camp are at Dan's Bar on October 19; Chomsky, Crash Vinyl, and Lucy Loves Schroeder will celebrate the release of Crash Vinyl's new EP, High-Five Your Sex Drive, on October 20 at Curtain Club; Centro-matic performs October 20 at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios, with Baptist Generals and Stanton Meadowdale; RF Programme, Seven Channels, and The Lower Frequencies play Trees' New Music Night on October 18; Prize Money and Fixture hit the Curtain Club on October 22; and The Streetwalkin' Cheetahs perform at Good Records on October 22.

Fresh off season with first Sprint Cup win, 'Dinger looking for more MORE: Full schedule of season previews Team: JTG Daugherty Racing No. 47 Chevrolet Rank in final 2014 standings: 13th Wins: 1 ( Watkins Glen International ) Year in photos: AJ Allmendinger 2014 highlights Strides: Allmendinger is coming off a career season, collecting his first ever NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win in a hard-fought final lap duel with Marcos Ambrose on the Watkins Glen, New York road course. The victory was also the first for his single-car JTG Daughtery team, landing the organization in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup for the first time. A new technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing and Chevy engines from Earnhardt Childress (ECR) seemed to have paid off for the team. Allmendinger's two top-five finishes equals a career best and his five top-10 efforts were the most for him since 2011. Setbacks: While the team will look back fondly on 2014 as a year of progress, Allmendinger realizes that expectations rise with success. Consistency proved to be a real problem as he missed advancing to the Contender Round of the new elimination-style Chase format, alternating sub-20th place finishes with a respectful 13th-place run at Loudon in the opening three-race round. He had consecutive runs of sixth place (Richmond) and fifth place (Talladega) in the spring but didn't manage another top-10 finish until his victory at Watkins Glen, which came 12 races later. Quoteworthy: "I feel like the person I am, I love that underdog role, I love that small team feeling that we have to work harder than everyone just to compete with them," Allmendinger said. What's next: Allmendinger has always maintained the attitude that his small team has to take baby steps as it raises its game to compete with the perennial Chase contenders, mega-teams such as Hendrick Motorsports , Stewart-Haas Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing . However, scoring the win at Watkins Glen and a berth in the Chase was a huge confidence boost. Consistency and more top-15 finishes are realistic goals for the team this year and with Allmendinger's proven record on road courses, a second Chase berth is a reasonable expectation as well. "We have a long ways to go but we know if we go out there and we hit our best, on any given day we can win a race," Allmendinger said. "With the new [Chase] format especially, Ryan Newman showed you don't have to be great, just good enough to make it to the next (round) and heck, he was two laps away from winning the championship this year."

Driver talks past, future in interview RELATED: Subscribe to NASCAR Illustrated AJ Allmendinger has seen his share of adversity during nearly a decade in NASCAR. Two years ago, he hit the lowest point in his career after a failed drug test led him out of Team Penske and into NASCAR's Road to Recovery program. Chastened, the 32-year-old driver kick-started the second chapter of his career by winning two Nationwide races last year for Roger Penske. Allmendinger is now back in the Cup Series trying to push JTG Daugherty's program and his career to the next level. We caught up with Allmendinger a day after the No. 47 was swept up in an early wreck at Daytona. Just two weeks earlier, he'd led a race-high 34 laps at Sonoma before contact with Dale Earnhardt Jr . derailed his shot at for a first Cup victory and the Chase berth that would've come with it. NI: You're known as a strong road racer but what are your thoughts on plate racing? Allmendinger : Out of all the racing we do, it's my least favorite. There's just so much that goes into it. A lot of it's luck, being in the right place at the right time and missing the "big one." The racing can be exciting at times for sure. As a driver, you definitely have to be at full concentration the whole time you're out there when you're in the pack just because one 2-inch mistake can be a big, big crash. Especially if you're the one making that mistake, you feel bad because you wrecked yourself and you've got a lot of competitors that you feel bad about because they're probably pissed off at you. NI: You had a car that could have won at Sonoma before you were taken out. Does it take long to get over that? Allmendinger : I don't know if you ever fully get over it. To a certain degree, in this sport, you gotta be ready to go the next weekend. You can't let a bad weekend carry over into the next weekend. It's tough because I thought we had a shot to win. We were up front, top two cars every practice session and qualifying, led the most laps, played the strategy to what ours was and we just got into an incident. It is what it is. You can't fix it. NI: If you can get that first win, you're all but in the Chase. No added pressure there? Allmendinger : Honestly, I look at it two different ways. The Chase would be great for the fact that our sponsors and this race team being such a small team, to be able to promote that we won a race and are in the Chase, that would be fantastic. But when it comes to, "Do we have to make the Chase for it to be a successful season?" No. We're not a championship-winning team right now. There's no doubt about it. We're a small team, we're trying to grow to that at some point and it's going to be a long process to get there and a lot of hard work. I think with the right effort we can actually get there. NI: It might sound like a strange question but are you almost glad things played out the way they did back in 2012? Allmendinger : Except for the mere fact of having to put Roger Penske through that. Other than that, I'm way happier now than I have ever been when it comes to a lot of things. I still put a lot of pressure on myself racing, so I still have those ups and downs, but it's a different kind of pressure now. The ownership just makes this team such a family. I want to take this team to a new level. That's the pressure I put on myself, to put this team on my back and take it to another level. I feel like they deserve it down from ownership and the team because they work so hard. NI: How has your perspective changed in the past couple of years? Allmendinger : It's a different perspective now. It's not the only thing in the world, you know? There are other things that are important and in the grand scheme probably a lot more important than racing. But obviously when you make your life and you put your heart and soul into it, it feels like the most important thing. I wouldn't change anything that I've had to go through for anything except for disappointing Roger Penske. Hopefully, last year, winning the Nationwide races and having a shot to win Indy made up for it. NI: It's our tailgate issue, so I have to ask about your abilities on the grill. Can we call you a grilling master? Allmendinger : No (laughs). We can lie to everybody and tell them I can grill anything up. Only problem is hopefully I won't get called out on it. I really enjoy grilling because it is so healthy to be able to do that and I'm real health conscious when it comes to what I eat. The sponsors we have on our team are great when it comes to all that. So it makes it a lot easier because we're stocked with a lot of great things to eat. I live in an apartment right now so it's hard to grill in the corner without a balcony. My girlfriend is really good at grilling so she's shown me some stuff. Hopefully, in the near future, I can have a house and practice up but right now it'd be a stretch to say grilling master. I'd like to be. Let's put it that way. NI: It's hard to believe you've been in NASCAR for almost a decade now. What's been your personal highlight so far? Allmendinger : The Nationwide wins were something I'll never forget, especially with what led to those. I remember making my first race at Bristol -- it took me four tries to finally make a race -- back in 2007 when there were 50 or 60 cars trying to qualify each weekend. Making our first Daytona 500 in 2009 and almost winning the thing. ( Allmendinger finished third in the No. 44 Richard Petty Motorsports Dodge.) But I think the highlight is still being here really. This sport is tough. It will bring some guys in, especially with the open-wheel side of it, and spit them back out pretty quick. So to have the commitment level and just the do-or-die work ethic trying to stay in when things were bad and things got better and things got bad again, and keep coming back, I feel very fortunate that people believe in me. Whether it's the "King" or the "Captain" or Tad (Geschickter) to give me another shot to jump in this race car and feel like I can get the job done now. More than anything, just being able to still be a part of it through thick and thin is something that's probably the most special. SUBSCRIBE NOW!
Crew chief got first victory atop pit box at Watkins Glen in 2014 Brian Burns will be back on top of the pit box for AJ Allmendinger 's No. 47 Sprint Cup Series team with JTG Daugherty Racing , the team announced Wednesday. Burns signed a contract this week to remain with the team as the crew chief for Allmendinger . "I'm happy to be back on board as crew chief and I've really enjoyed working with everyone at JTG Daugherty Racing ," Burns said in a team release. "Last season, I was able to get to know AJ both personally and professionally and I feel like the relationship we have formed is great. Chemistry is vitally important to have between the driver, crew chief and team and we have all gotten to know each other more. I feel like great things are in store for us this season." Allmendinger's win last season at Watkins Glen in August punched his ticket into the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup playoff. It was also his first Sprint Cup victory, Burns' first victory atop the pit box in the Sprint Cup Series and also JTG Daugherty Racing 's first win. "I am really happy to have Brian back as my crew chief," Allmendinger said in a release. "As the year went on, he kept growing and getting better as a leader and as the crew chief to the No. 47 Chevrolet SS team. He was a huge part in bringing myself and the team its first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory and I can't wait to build on that heading into the 2015 season. I wouldn't want any other guy to work with than Brian to help take our team to the next level." Burns helped guide Allmendinger to a 13th-place finish in the final Sprint Cup Series standings for 2014, which was Allmendinger's best year-end result and also the best year-end result for the one-car JTG Daugherty team. The 2015 Sprint Cup Series season gets underway on Feb. 22 with the Daytona 500 on FOX. FULL SERIES COVERAGE • Latest news • Standings • Schedule

" Play: NASCAR Fantasy Live Practice 1 " Results Following a lengthy delay for rain, Ryan Newman led Friday's lone Sprint Cup Series practice at Martinsville Speedway .

He was followed by four Chevrolets in AJ Allmendinger (97.679 mph), Jeff Gordon (97.664 mph), Jimmie Johnson (97.618 mph) and Martin Truex Jr . (97.558 mph) to round out the top five.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Salvadoran cuisine moves into West End
Salvadoran restaurant Mercadito Latino has made a new home for itself in the West End.
The restaurant opened the doors of its new location at 570 Sargent Ave. a couple of months ago, moving from its original location at 219 Henderson Hwy.
Jesse Lemus, son of restaurant owners Julian and Sonia, said the family moved locations because they found the previous location was too small.
Their initial plan was to set up at a location on St. Mary's Road, but they haven't been able to get the permits and make the renovations necessary to open up right away.
"The City told us the project could take any time from six months to two years, and we couldn't be closed for that amount of time," Lemus explained.
The Lemus family still owns and pays for the St. Mary's location.
Fortunately, the family knew the owner of La Rica Vicky, who was selling the restaurant. They bought the West End location, and said it's been doing well since.
"It's doing a lot better because this neighbourhood is very diverse. You can go down Sargent and find a variety of restaurants, like Vietnamese, Filipino, Indian. It's also not very far from anyone," Lemus said.
At the moment, Lemus and his parents are still discussing whether or not they want to stay at the Sargent location or switch to the St. Mary's location once the permits are complete.
"Initially, we believed (the Sargent location) was temporary, but it's going so well that we're thinking of staying," Lemus said.
Lemus said the restaurant is currently 75% restaurant and 25% store, meaning while the building is predominantly a restaurant, the space is also used to sell Latin American products.
Lemus' parents have owned Mercadito Latino on Henderson Highway since June of 2011, buying it from the previous owners, Gerardo and Lorraine Sandoval.
"My mother was a customer of theirs, and we had always wanted to own a restaurant," Lemus said. "My mom comes from a family of eight, and each child had a different chore. My mom preferred to cook over any other chore, and she'd always be beside my grandma helping her cook."
Some of the restaurant's most popular items include the tortilla soup and the pupusa.
"The soup is a chicken broth with chicken breast, melted cheese, sour cream, green onions, and freshly-cut avocado with tortilla chips on top. People are raving about it," Lemus said. "And the pupusa is a corn pocket made of corn flour. It's put on a grill, and it's filled with fillings of your choice, either cheese, beans, pork, or any other combination."
Mercadito Latino is open Tuesday to Sunday from noon until 8:30 p.m. It is closed on Mondays. For more information, call 204-415-2870.

For many youth workers, a big part of their job description seems to include ŌĆ£Think outside the box on a regular basisŌĆØŌĆ" constantly coming up with new ideas and innovative programs that are bigger and better than last year, last week, and last night.
And while there is certainly a place for risk-taking and improvement in each new season, sometimes what you really need is tried-and-true, solid stuff. Stuff that is actually totally inside the box!ŌĆØ
Ask yourself these questions as you look at planning the season ahead:
- What has worked really well in the past year?
- What is a ŌĆ£classicŌĆØ that would be fun to revive?
- What were people talking about after last summer?
- What is MY favorite event of the year?
- Where did we see the most life-change in the last season?
- What is easy to plan but brings the ministry a big win?
ThereŌĆÖs a fine line between tradition and boredom, so be careful as you planŌĆöbut sometimes, the best things you can do are ones that already worked in the past.
Here are a few examples of ideas that started off as new ideas and have become traditions in our youth ministry:
You Own the WeekendŌĆöThis is a series where students completely run youth group. It has had an incredible response every year!
PumpkinfestŌĆöAt Saddleback Church, we donŌĆÖt do a ton of big events, so we tend to really do our best to go ŌĆ£all inŌĆØ on just a couple a year. One is this fun festival in the fall that students now know and love.
Guys Trip / GirlŌĆÖs TripŌĆöThese fun summer overnighters have become really popular with out students and were one of the highlights of just last year. So guess what? WeŌĆÖre doing them again this summer.
Take a second to think inside the box for your next season of ministry!

Several weeks ago, I didn't know what love was. I had seen her, heard about her, done some internet stalking on her, but never actually met her. Then when we came face to face that glorious Saturday around 11:00 AM in a Best Buy, I knew it was love. Never did I think it was possible to fall in love like this. Now I know just how deeply I can love. Ever since that Saturday, I have only found myself more in love than the day before. Every day I wake up, open my eyes, and see her lying next to me in my bed, fully charged and ready for another great day together. I spend hours touching her before I even put my feet on the floor. What's the point of even getting out of bed anymore when you have her? Yes, she has completely eliminated the need for real women. It's true. That's how much I love my iPad.
From an email chain (no, I don't normally read them). But it's too good to not pass on.
John Smith started the day early, having set his alarm clock
for 6 am.
While his coffeepot
He put on a dress shirt,
(MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes.
After cooking breakfast in his new electric skillet,
(MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch
(MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio
(MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car,
(MADE IN GERMANY) filled it with gas,
(from SAUDI ARABIA) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.
At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his computer,
(MADE IN MALAYSIA) John decided to relax for a while.
He put on his sandals,
(MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine,
(MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV,
(MADE IN INDONESIA) and then wondered why he couldn't find a good paying job in AMERICA.
At Starbucks, of course.
Despite the millions of people who have already felt the need to give their two cents on the iPad, I have been asked quite a bit to share my thoughts on the device, apparently due to my critical honesty. And since I am in NO way an Apple fan boy, I guess my review can be a little less biased.First let me tell you how little I cared about this device before Saturday at 11 AM when I walked into Best Buy. I had no desire to purchase one, and saw no purpose for the device. I figured there would be some cool uses at some point, but nothing that would change my world. But I was wrong. This thing is amazing. I can now say that people who just call this device a big iPod Touch have never actually used the device and probably had preconceived ideas about it, rather than giving it a chance. The truth is that the iPad is a game changer, and I really do see a lot of potential for it. What it really comes down to is the large, high resolution screen. Screen real estate on a portable device is everything, and it's really what will make this device a success.
- iMockups - A wireframing application for designers.
- HTML Edit - Not the greatest html editing app yet, but it's got potential. It has built-in FTP support and has it's own file management system, so you can edit files and upload straight back to the server. Although, without multitasking support, the usefulness of this app is limited for now.
- Weather HD - Visually shows you what the weather looks like with stock imagery. No need to open the shutters anymore.
- LogMeIn - Thanks to the screen real estate, the iPad version is much easier to use that the iPhone version.
- Touch Hockey - An incredibly realistic air hockey game. I can't tell you how realistic the game play actually is. You're going to have to try it for yourself.
- Harbor Master - Even better than the iPhone version - the large screen makes all the difference.
- Game Table - Comes with a poker table (and chips), and some other traditional games. This game completely eliminates the need for physical playing cards.
- Scrabble - Just a lot of fun. Also has multi-iPad and iPhone support for really slick integration.

The discussion on Dance as an Education and Dance in Media threw up some interesting points
It was a discussion that was brief but stimulating and which raised some interesting points. Organised by the Department of Youth Services and Sports, with Karnataka Nrityakala Parishath, as part of Ankura Dance Festival, the colloquium focused on Dance as An Education and Dance in Media. Well-known Kuchipudi dancer Vyjayanthi Kashi played moderator. She was also felicitated for her recently won Central Sangeet Natak Akademi Award. Padmini Shreedhar coordinated the function presided over by Lalitha Srinivasan, President, Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath.
The first topic –– Role of Dance in Education and in Shaping One's Personality had dancer and dance-critic Probal Gupta explaining that studies revealed that dance helped build cognitive, social and spiritual aspects of personality, and that music and dance were positive forces in personality development. Priya Raman emphasised the need for a holistic approach to education which encouraged artistic expression along with intellectual pursuits while Ramya Janakiram said that to become good artistes, performers should work as much on their personality as on dance.
Instant fame
The next set of speakers held forth on the desire for instant fame among aspiring dancers. Accomplished Bharatanatya dancer Satyanarayana Raju deplored the tendencies of students to chase fame with quick rangapraveshas, focus on the quantity rather than quality of performances; and also to move from one teacher to another in an attempt to gather items and increase their repertoire.
Karthik Datar said commitment to the art form rather than fame should be the aim while Pulikeshi Kasturi spoke out against parents in a hurry to see their children ascend the stage irrespective of proficiency levels.
Vyjayanthi, stressed the need for a positive outlook and a solution-seeking attitude rather than complaining about the system or depending on someone to throw a lifeline. She said dance can be fulfilling in many ways as it offers a myriad of opportunities worth exploring––performing, teaching, administration, documentation, film-making and writing.
Scant respect
The discussion on Reality Shows on Dance had panellists regretting that most of these TV shows display little knowledge of Indian classical dance traditions and show scant respect for them. Seeta Kote said it was painful to have parents come in asking for their children to be admitted to dance classes with a query as to how soon their child could be readied for performing in a reality show. Uday Shetty felt the lure of big money in TV shows and films was a major factor, while Radhika Ranjini said these shows were dictated by commercial elements not aesthetics. Lalitha held that many dance reality shows abused the word dance and some were not only mediocre, but also bordered on the obscene.
Speaking on how academic pressure is a frequently cited reason for quitting dance classes, youngsters Vidya and Shivaranjani said in today's time, academic curricula has become heavy and also family pressure to do well in studies is high. However, some students manage to persist with the art, they pointed out.
Suparna Venkatesh said academics need not always be a hindrance to the diligent pursuit of dance. If one was motivated enough, one could successfully balance both as some all-rounder academic toppers have shown.

Holes in terrazzo
I pried up some carpet tack strips from terrazzo which left jagged holes in the floor. What would be the best way to fill the holes so I can put vinyl flooring over it. I'd stick with the terrazzo, but it had never been sealed and there are patterns of old tiles on it that won't come off.
Also, is there a way to remove the nails without leaving jagged holes in the floor?
There is no way to remove the nails that will not leave a jagged hole.
A cementious underlayment patch will do the job. Look for brand names, such as Ardex Feather Finish (sometimes under the Henry's or Armstrong labeling) or Mapei's Planipatch or an equivalent product. Apply the patch, wait for it to set and apply another, if necessary, to bring the filled area flush with the terrazzo surface.
Don't use a gypsum-based patch.

Diving board
This board is about 20 years old. The previous owner built the pool, and that was about 20 years ago. The board appears to be made of fiberglass. My question is.... do these boards have a lifetime; and does anyone know how long that might be?
....... john
Check the bolts on the stand and the bolts that attach the board to the stand for rust. Check the board for cracks at the bolt holes and at the fulcrum. This is the point that the board flexes most.
If you have cracks at at either of these locations on the board then it is time to replace.
Most bolts will have some rust and stand bolts may not be visable if you have a fiberglass stand.
Rusted bolts will present you with a judgement call. Lube the bolts and remove to determine the amount of rust damage to the threads. Good luck.

A 7-inch Surface tablet or something like Samsung's Galaxy Note 2 are strong possibilities, according to a top Microsoft executive, also pointing out that the Windows 8 kernel is hardwired to support applications running on different device screen sizes - big and small.
Does this mean consumers can expect Microsoft and its allied OEMs to play the increasingly hot-game in the 7-inch plus tablet class? The segment is currently dominated by Apple's iPad Mini, Google's Nexus 7 and Amazon's Kindle Fire HD.
Microsoft chief financial officer Peter Klein answered to the affirmative in a recent talk for Goldman Sachs' Technology and Internet Conference. "We're set up for that," Mr Klein said.
"The notion of flexibility and scalability of the operating system is intrinsic to our strategy," the Microsoft official was reported by AllThingsD as saying.
Windows 8 is genetically capable of effectively supporting screen sizes that go as high as 27 inches to as small as four inches found in many smartphones, Mr Klein said, assuring too that "can have the same core code base driving form factors."
Should market demands point to specific screen sizes that consumers would favour, Microsoft, he added, "can deliver a versatile set of experiences across form factors, whether they're 4-inch, 5-inch, 7-inch, 10-inch or 13-inch."
His declaration underscored Microsoft's wiliness to go where the market trends are pointing. Currently, the tablet market appears to be on a transition phase, according to analysts, in which players could shift into producing smaller slates following the early dominance of Apple's 9.7-inch iPad.
But with the introduction of iPad Mini in Q4 2012, that market saw a game-changer and Apple itself felt the magnitude of the iPad Mini tremor when its regular-sized iPad was relegated to second-choice by consumers hunting for powerful gadgets with maximum portability.
It was not discussed by Mr Klein but the broad range he provided on what screen sizes Windows 8 can fit in also suggests that Microsoft is fully capable of also competing in the hybrid smartphone segment, more popularly known as phablet.
Already, Apple is reportedly prepping for its new front of clashing with Samsung by issuing a gadget that will match up with the global hit Galaxy Note - the 4.8-inch iPhone 6 that is slated to crash the scene Q1 2014 at the latest.
And Microsoft, from all indications provided by the company lately, will join the small tablet and phablet scuffles in the quarters ahead.

DKBA invites evicted Thameekalay villagers to Kayin State
Published on Friday, 21 February 2014 00:39
The DKBA group donating rice, edible oil, salt and food rations to the evicted villagers (Photo-EMG)
YANGON—The Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA) has invited evicted residents from Thameekalay Village in Yangon's Hlegu Township to be driven to Kayin State but no one has joined the group, according to local sources.
Three DKBA commanders yesterday visited Aung Theikdi monastery in Bago Region, where the villagers have taken shelter since being evicted. The soldiers provided them with rice, edible oil, salt and rations. They then asked the villagers if they wished to come along for settlement in Kayin State. The villagers reportedly refused, saying they would wait for some response from the government.
"The reason we didn't leave here to follow them is that we are not familiar with that place (Kayin State). We can only do farm work. Moreover, we don't know what to do there. If the authorities force us to leave here once our children have finished their final exams, we will go there. If all those leave here, our family will also leave," said one evicted villager, Khin Thidar Soe.
DKBA's tactical commandant Colonel Saw Hsan Aung said that the villagers would not be forced to go to Kayin.
"It's their decision. On humanitarian grounds, we can help them with their living conditions. If they want to come along with us, we have already arranged accommodation for them," he said.
According to another DKBA official, the evicted villagers asked to be given about seven days to decide so that their school-aged children can finish their exams. If there is no response from the authorities at that time, they said they would accept the invitation, he added.
The Bago Township administrator said it was up to the villagers to decide whether or not to join the DKBA group.
"We cannot say anything if they want to go. It's up to them. They can go along if they wish. We will not stop them," said administrator Khin Thein Maung.
The DKBA group reportedly left the monastery at about 4:30 p.m. yesterday (February 19).
When contacted on Tuesday, presidential spokesperson Ye Htut told The Daily Eleven that people moving to Yangon from other regions have been living rent-free. Some people taking shelter in the city come specifically to take advantage of the situation, he said.
"The government is creating job prospects not only in Yangon but also other parts of the country, with the intention of addressing squatter issues. In doing so, it hopes to reduce the number of people that are moving to urban areas," he said.
"Moreover, the government is reclaiming vacant and virgin lands in Yangon Region as well as other regions and states, constructing affordable housing to enable homeless people to enjoy them. The government will have to take action against those who manage the squatters living in rent-free places by charging them in accordance with the law," said Ye Htut, also deputy information minister.

The Gist
From Our Editors
Ceviche Tapas Bar & Restaurant not only imports ingredients and products, but also recipes. With roots in northern Spain and Catalonia, these dishes come together on a menu of more than 100 hot and cold tapas selections, along with paella and cazuela. Paella, a widely varied rice dish cooked at length in a wide pot over open flame, can contain Serrano ham, scallops, pork, chorizo, and saffron rice the stunning golden hue of an alchemist's magazine advertisements. Though the restaurant spans multiple locations, each one presents guests with some charming element: a poolside patio at the Tampa location, a central tapas bar in Orlando, and a flamenco room in St. Petersburg. Meanwhile, no matter the location, events bring about live music and joviality, all supported by an ample list of Spanish and Portuguese wines.
