COLUMBIA — When Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Richard Hicks began looking into Johnny Wright's arrest almost two years ago, the Boone County Prosecuting Attorney's Office didn't even have a file for him anymore.
No one expected to ever hear again from the man wanted for killing Becky Doisy in 1976. Although her body was never found, police, friends and her family all believed she was dead. Many, including Doisy's family, believed Wright was dead, too.
While it was true that there was an outstanding warrant for him from 1985, he hadn't been seen or heard from since the early '80s.
But in September 2009, Wright was unexpectedly discovered and arrested when a background check for a job in Georgia revealed the warrant.
Hicks soon asked his colleague Cecily Daller to work with him on the case when he realized the difficulty of it.
With no body, no manner of death and more than three decades since the last time Doisy was seen alive, Hicks and Daller weren't certain prosecuting Wright was even a possibility.
But when they began to explore the case, the story that unfolded was enough to persuade them to try.
In January, Hicks and Daller brought a case to a jury that resulted in a guilty verdict. On Monday, Wright was sentenced to 30 years in prison — the maximum punishment allowed in the case.
Deciding to prosecute
With the help of Columbia police, Hicks and Daller used past investigations to build a list of potential witnesses and recover some possible evidence to piece together a case.
Before they could be certain about going through with prosecution, they had to find out if key witnesses were still alive and, after 32 years, if their memories were still reliable enough for court. Then, they had to figure out how to prosecute Wright for murder if there was no body or evidence of the manner of death.
And, on top of that, the question lingered of how Wright had gone undetected by authorities for so long.
Columbia police reopened the case and located two men — Harry Moore and William Simmons — who knew Wright during the 1970s and '80s. It became apparent that if they had credible information, they would be key to Daller and Hicks' case.
From the beginning, they knew their case would depend on whether a few key witnesses proved credible.
"We knew from the beginning reports there's no way we're going to be able to prosecute this without Harry Moore," Hicks said.
Reports from police said that Moore was Wright's roommate when Doisy disappeared and that he told police in 1976 that he saw the two together on the night Doisy disappeared.
Another police report, filed in 1984, said a man named William Simmons told police that he and Wright spent time together at a methadone clinic in St. Louis. Simmons said Wright used to talk about how he had killed a woman in Columbia.
When police re-questioned Moore about Doisy's disappearance in 1984, he finally told police that Wright had shown him Doisy's dead body in the back of his car on Aug. 5, 1976.
It was Moore and Simmons' testimonies in the mid-'80s that led to the warrant for Wright's arrest.
Moore could also help them use a corpus delicti rule, which is a legal standard applied in many "no body" cases. It requires that the prosecution must first show that a crime took place before it can try to convict a defendant of committing it.
In this case, Moore's testimony might show a jury that Doisy was dead and, second, that she was murdered.
"We knew legally that you didn't have to prove how someone was murdered," Daller said, and added that Moore's information answered an important question for them.
"How do we say that a murder did happen, when you don't know how it happened?"
When they went to visit Moore at his apartment in southern Illinois, Daller and Hicks decided Moore was credible.
"You could tell he had remembered what had happened. You could tell it was difficult for him to talk about," Daller said. "There was one point when he got really emotional about it."
Moore gave them information he'd never spoken about before, too.
About three weeks after Doisy was last seen, a shooting was reported at Wright and Moore's house, but Moore didn't tell police who did it. When Hicks and Daller talked to Moore, he said it was Wright who'd had shot at him for talking to police about Doisy.
After the trial, the jury chief said in an interview that it was Moore and Simmons' testimonies that primarily convinced them to find a unanimous guilty verdict.
Erroll Edwards
One of the final pieces to putting a case together was tracking down where Wright had been for all those years and why he'd suddenly gone back to using his given name.
The media, Hicks said, alerted him to the fact that Wright had been living as Erroll Edwards. Driver's licenses under the name proved he'd lived under the name since the early '80s.
Using the fake name showed that Wright had what Hicks calls a "consciousness of guilt."
In August, the two attorneys went to Georgia, where Wright had been arrested. In four days, they found that Wright started using his given name again by 2008.
"In 2007 he got a letter saying, 'Your Social Security doesn't match with your name,'" Hicks said.
"'So send us some documentation and we'll get it all squared away,'" Daller said, finishing Hicks' sentence. "So then his license gets revoked."
"Because he can't match it," Hicks said.
They also went to places where "Erroll Edwards" had worked. When they visited a car dealership where he'd worked, co-workers said they'd only knew him as Erroll and were shocked to find out that the man on the TV news stories was actually named Johnny Wright.
The last witness they called was Harry Markham, who knew Wright as "Erroll Edwards" for years from the days they worked at the car dealership together.
Markham testified that he asked Wright about the name change once, to which Wright had said, "I changed my name before that happened to this girl."

Our stay at the Smythe House Bed and Breakfast was incredible. Breakfast was delicious, the zen room was comfortable and cozy, and the owners were friendly and welcoming. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.

This was a unique visit because of the hosts, Justin and David Smythe. From a woman's viewpoint, the Smythe's warm and gracious hospitality was a delight. From a man's point of view, David is a multi-talented individual able to discuss anything from the correct composition of quality cook ware to how to install a deck 30' in the air. When you visit Justin and David, be sure to spend some time talking with them; for us, this is what made the visit unique.

We really enjoyed our stay and loved the outdoor area with the tree house, trampoline, koi fish pond, and beautiful view. The breakfast was amazing. The room was small but we were there for only one night so it was fine for the 3 of us.

The midfielder believes that Manchester United will not succeed in luring the Barcelona star from Camp Nou and praised the appointment of Gerardo Martino.
Andres Iniesta has cast doubt on the chances of Cesc Fabregas choosing to leave Barcelona for Manchester United.The former Arsenal captain has been the subject of United's attention, with the English club attempting to lure the midfielder from Camp Nou back to the Premier League, though Iniesta cannot see his Barca and Spain teammate departing.
"I can't see Cesc leaving," the 29-year-old told gathered media at a reforestation event in Juzcar. "It's normal that great players attract the interest of other clubs. Barca are very lucky to have him and I hope we get to keep playing together."
Gerardo Martino was confirmed as the new coach of the Catalans on Tuesday and Iniesta has faith that Tito Vilanova's successor will thrive with the Blaugrana.
"If the club appointed him then I'm sure he's the ideal coach," he added. "The players are there for him to do what he says and to have another positive season."
Iniesta also dismissed fears that Lionel Messi and Neymar would not be able to play together.
"I do not think there will be any conflict [between Messi and Neymar]," he added. "Good players can always play together. Good players will help each other be better, so when Neymar arrives I think the team will keep winning titles in the end - that's what we want."

Toro Peak |
Southern Riverside County Range Highpoint: Santa Rosa Mountains Highpoint: Santa Rosa Indian Reservation |
Date Climbed
Prominence Click on the thumbnail to see a full-size version |
Toro Peak is the highest summit of the Santa Rosa Mountains, a compact but towering range located south of Palm Desert and Rancho Mirage in Riverside County. Although "only" 8,716 feet high, Toro Peak is a thoroughly impressive mountain due to its huge prominence (nearly 4,000 vertical feet) and lack of foothills, giving the range the appearance of being essentially one giant mountain. The Santa Rosa Range is not far from the higher Mount San Jacinto, but Toro's impressiveness is hardly diminished by San Jacinto's own grandeur. As viewed from the south in Anza-Borrego, one sees the full 8,500-foot vertical differential from summit to low desert. It is truly a beautiful sight.
Getting to the summit of Toro should be easy enough, since a 4-wheel drive road (the Santa Rosa Mountain Truck Trail) winds up from state highway CA-74 all the way to its summit, where there is an assortment of communications towers and a lookout. However, it took me two tries to visit the top, the first culminating in a near fight with some tower workers.
A year ago (May 2007), I was here on the tail end of a four-day tour of peaks in Southern California. I planned to visit Toro Peak's summit, then drive some miles on the way back to Phoenix. On that trip I drove the steep road to a Y-junction about 12 miles from the highway. I got my boots on and figured a quick one-hour round-trip up the remainder of the road. As I approached the top there were lots of work trucks parked along the road. This is not unusual and something I had encountered many times before, never with a problem.
Closer to the top I came upon a group of workers and just continued on past them, but they stopped and came toward me. One guy, the leader I assume, started to give me lip about "being on Federal Indian Property". I asked if it would be fine if I walked the final few feet to the top, then I'd be on my way. Again, the leader started to get all worked up. He asked me if I knew I was on Indian land and if I had seen the sign. I tactically played it dumb and answered no to both questions. He suggested I "better turn around right now." He was pissed, moreso than he should have been. It was a bad scene, and not getting any better.
In the meantime, his work buddies had circled me. It looked like a rough crowd. The numbers were not in my favor so what choice did I have? I turned around and walked out. So frustrating, so close to the top. Naturally I was not happy about how this all went. It's one thing to be told to get lost, but another thing to be surrounded by a bunch of white-trash losers itching for a fight. What bugged me was the mock air of authority this guy put on, as if he gave a hoot himself about this being Indian land.
So here it is May 2008, and a good time to be looking at Toro once again. With a week off before teaching, and a freak cold-front that moved through the Southwest dropping temperatures about 15-20 degrees below normal, the SoCal desert peaks looked enticing where otherwise they'd be too hot this time of year. Once again, I placed Toro on the back-end, convenient on my way back to Arizona. The first two peaks went well, Rodman Mountain and Ord Mountain near Lucerne Valley in the high desert. Then, a fun visit with my brother's family and my favorite niece and nephew. And finally, on my way back to 'zona, my second tangle with Toro.
I arrived in the Palm Desert area around noon in pleasant conditions (80s instead of 100s), got some food and supplies, and started up the Palms-to-Pines highway (CA-74). From the intersection with CA-111 in Palm Desert, it is 18 miles up CA-74 to the Santa Rosa Mountain Road, marked by a sign mentioning Santa Rosa Mountain being 10 miles ahead. Toro (unmentioned on the sign) is about 3-4 miles farther via the road. The road itself is bumpy, narrow, exposed and sometimes rough. Four-wheel drive is mandatory, in my opinion. It's not really the most scenic mountain road as too much of the views are obscured by trees, foreground hills and chaparral scrub. Mostly, the road is a chore, and hope no one is coming in the opposite direction.
After about an hour, I passed the turn-off to Santa Rosa Mountain, and another mile and a half later, I parked in a broad clearing called "Toro Camp" on the map. This is a campground, but the forest service seems to use it as a place to store cut logs for transport. It's very ugly. It was about 2 p.m., and I had enough provisions for an overnight camp. I had plans A, B and C for the peak, including possible middle-of-the-night hikes in the moonlight if need be. Nevertheless, I thought to go with plan A first, to hike the road to the top and hope no one was home.
I parked about a mile short of the Y-junction mentioned on my first attempt. The road walk along this stretch was easy and mostly level, and went quickly. In time I came to the Y-junction. On a tree right at the junction, the Forest Service taped a big sign saying "No Entry, Fire Danger". I continued on a few more feet to the gate that spans the road, presumably at the Indian Reservation boundary (up to this point the entire route is within the San Bernardino National Forest). A newer "no trespassing" sign was on the gate, describing the penalties for entrance. I could have conceivably played ignorant on one sign, but not on two. The gate was also open, which suggested there may be someone up there. So I entered with some caution.
After a few minutes of hiking up the road, I decided to make myself invisible, leaving the road and starting directly up the slopes. I was at a point where I could see the summit towers about 600 feet up and a half-mile distant. I hiked up the slopes, which was a mix of branches, brush, open areas and rocks, with solid footing. Big trees hid me well, and I could see parts of the road but never saw anyone or any vehicles. The rocks start in earnest about 200 feet below the summit. From below, the rocks looks very jumbled and possibly cliffy, but up close it's easy scrambling. I came to the top directly, achieving the summit rocks, careful to observe if there was anyone about. No one was home, but I didn't stay long. I had no desire to meet anyone. A couple of quick photos to document my visit, and I started down. Last year on my "almost-got-beat-up" hike, I went slow and admire the views, especially looking down into the Anza-Borrego region to the southeast. This time, there was no time for views.
For the downhill trip I felt slightly more confident there was no one up here to hassle me so I started to walk down the road, which zig-zags steeply in this section. I passed the area where I had my "chat" with the tower workers from last year. A little lower down there is one last building, and I could hear a generator buzzing. Again, this is not uncommon to hear, since they are often on timers, but in this case there was the outside chance of someone actually there, keeping in mind the gate below was open when I walked up. Thus, I thought it wise to hide myself again and ducked back into the trees.
The downhill went very quickly, the pine-needle mat on the slopes making for easy steps all the way down. I came back to the road still inside the prohibited area. As I hiked down on the road, I could see the road coming up and see if anyone might be driving up. If so, it would be easy to just jump into the forest again and hide. But no one came along, and I quickly hiked out past the gate, back on to legal land. The walk back to my truck took another 15 minutes, and my total round-trip was 2.5 hours.
It was getting real cold and breezy up here, so I decided against camping here and opted to put in some miles back to Arizona. The drive down took an hour, then another hour from there back to Interstate-10 (including stops for photographs). I camped in the desert southwest of Blythe at the Wileys Well BLM campground, south of the giant Chuckwalla Valley State Prison. With Toro Peak done, I have no reason ever to go back up that road or retry that peak. I cannot comment for sure what the overall access is like. It seems others have had no trouble at all. My attempt last year must have been a fluke, given what I encountered. It feels good to get it done and out of the way.
It is interesting to note that the Desert Peaks Section of the Sierra Club has at times included Toro Peak on its list, and at other times has excluded it due to its cloudy access situation. This is presumably not new: one reference shows that in 1975 the peak was excluded from the list, but then again added back on ... and very recently, excluded again, probably for the very reasons I describe here. It's amusing to note that the DPS instead suggests a hike to the "Toro West" summit, in which one ascends the slope above the gate, ascending to a bump slightly west of the true summit and thereby staying off the restricted property.

Post subject: Morning ladies hope you are all well. It's been almost 4 weeks since I had my operation. I wokeep up this morning to notice that there was a bit of weeping from my wound. Its the first it's happened since I got my staples out the week after the operation. Now I was wondering the ladies who got there bfp after their operation did this happen to you? Me personally haven't had a bfp yet and af is due the beginning of next week but have a few symptoms that could be promising or could just be my body playing tricks on me. Any advice would be appreciated. Xx

Can't see it being BFP related , but I know after my Op I hoped every little thing was BFP related Jobleb I'd go off your normal cycle too, but then test again in a week if still no AF, its hard because often your cycle can change after the reversal Mine went from 30 days to between 28 and 36 but because I ov tested I at least knew when AF was due , FX she stays away for you xx Morning everyone I've not been on for a few days as my emotions caught up with me think I was in denial about what I'd been told and was so caught up in the idea of TTC this month and getting that July baby that I couldn't quite let go of that now i'm 11 DPO though and getting all the tell tale signs that AF will be here on monday its really hit me that I won't get that BFP this month and in fact won't ever get that BFP Did have a conversation with OH the other night just to sound him out on IVF and he's not interested I suspected he wouldn't be, he said if it had happened naturally thats one thing, but now after so long trying and us not getting any younger and the kids getting older (our youngest starts secondary school next september)and the fact we'd have to wait at least 4-6 months to save again anyway ,by which point I'd be 43 with less chance of it working he just feels the time has passed So since monday I've been having to come to terms with it never happening for us Not helped by having a small bleed on saturday which for some reason got my hopes up (of course I instantly thought implant bleed despite knowing its not possible )so I've been kicking myself for being so stupid ever since I think I just need to get rid of all things TTC related, throw myself into Christmas and trying to pass my exams in January and (try to) forget we ever had the reversal or tried for a baby I honestly feel like I've just wasted the last 2 1/2 years of my life So if i'm not on thats why , although i'm sure I'll still pop on sometimes to see how you're all doing Good luck to everyone TTC xxxxx Posted: Thu Nov 08, 2012 8:46 am

He has no kids and is 37 so my toy boy we have spoke about ivf in the future as I still have never fallen pregnant, but they did say the one tube I have, have lots of scar tissue aand is blocked . Does anyone know if we would get funding with ivf.

Post subject: Not likely Lisa as they've tighten up the rules recently ( I know at least one person on here who's had funding withdrawn because she has a child from a previous relationship) , in most areas if even one of you has kids then you won't get NHS help, in some areas funding has been cut completely for IVF, the best place to ask is your GP or look online for you area ?
I'm in the same boat, one tube completely blocked would love a shot at IVF but realistically at my age the odds aren't great and the OH doesn't want to risk it as its so expensive and not much chance of success, but if we had no kids together i'm sure we'd have to give it a shot xx Posted: Fri Nov 09, 2012 11:23 am

It may have been that this recipe just didnt work for my family. But the combination of milk and lime juice , just didnt sit well w/ my taste...
YUCK...The sauce was so thick, I could have spackled the wall with it!!! 1/2 cup of flour was just way too much. Cardboard has better flavor. I tried to follow the recipe, but in the end couldnt save it. What a waste of ingredients!
It was pretty easy to make since it used common ingredients. I had no tomato paste, so I used a half a 16-oz can of Italian-seasoned diced tomatoes, which added flavor to the sauce.

The U.S. senator spoke at the Wing Ding, where young Sen. Obama first made waves.
U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar, (D-Minn.), spoke at the North Iowa Democratic Wing Ding at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, Friday night.
CLEAR LAKE, Iowa – U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar followed the well-worn political trail to Iowa Friday, firing up Democrats feasting on chicken wings and anti-GOP rhetoric and waving off presidential aspirations with a smile and a nod to Hillary Clinton.
"I love my job now, I love being senator from Minnesota, that's what I'm focused on right now," Klobuchar said during a sojourn south, where she gave the keynote address to the North Iowa Democrats Wing Ding at the Surf Ballroom. It's a venue credited with launching then-Sen. Barack Obama in 2007.
"It's nice to be on the list," she said of her name occasionally appearing among names of Democrats to succeed Obama. She also added that she believes she has shown her ability to appeal to independent voters in her two Senate elections, including a 34-point margin of victory in November. But she said she would welcome the candidacy of Clinton, who is seen by many Democrats here as a clear 2016 front-runner — if she runs.
"I like Hillary Clinton a lot — she'd be great," Klobuchar said. "I know there are others who are interested as well, so we'll have to see who runs."
The 400-some Democratic activists from northern Iowa heard the second-term senator quote Minnesota icon Hubert Humphrey, saying "If we are unwilling to make history, others will make it for us."
She introduced herself to the state whose precinct caucuses — two years and five months from now — will kick off the presidential season as someone who is still inspired by her iron-miner grandfather. She said she was initially motivated to political activity to keep new mothers from being forced to leave the hospital after a short stay, and that she has tried in six-plus years in the Senate to work with Republicans when she can.
But she blamed the Republican-controlled House for blocking action on a new farm bill, immigration reform and other important issues and burying them in their desk drawer. "The people of this country want the keys to that desk drawer," she said. "Obstructionism and extremism are holding us back."
She laid out an "innovation agenda" in which the nation would regain its manufacturing and brainpower edge, and offered a few mild Iowa and Minnesota jokes — how Iowans consider Clear Lake to be an example of "surf," and how Minnesota mothers strive for their children to grow up to be vice president.
Klobuchar was in Iowa for the speech and two smaller events: a visit to a farm near here on Friday and a fundraiser in the Cedar Rapids area on Saturday. She did not shy away from the national spotlight but focused her political energies on helping a Democratic Iowa congressman, Bruce Braley, who is seeking to replace the retiring Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin next year.
"I think a lot of work I'm doing in the Senate obviously has national implications," she told reporters. She pointed out her work on trying to pass a new farm bill, which she believes will particularly help young farmers get started. She told Iowa reporters that she was impressed with the state's low unemployment rate and its work on alternative energy.
Klobuchar spoke to a full auditorium with paintings of rock-n-rollers Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson — the trio killed in a plane crash after a Surf Ballroom concert in 1959 — looking down on the audience.
Her speech was well received, but several in the audience have their eyes on a different candidate.
Doug Langford of nearby Forest City wore a "Team Hillary" T-shirt left over from 2008. "I think it would be a slam-dunk for her nationally," Langford said of Clinton's ability to wrap up the Democratic nomination. As for Klobuchar, Langford said he admired her work but does not believe the Minnesota senator has the national and international profile and experience Clinton brings to the ticket.
Field of opportunities
Less than two years after two other Minnesotans, former Gov. Tim Pawlenty and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, flamed out in the 2011-12 GOP Iowa caucus campaign, Klobuchar became the first of the Democratic presidential "possibles" to touch down in Iowa's "fields of opportunities."
Klobuchar, 53, barely into her second six-year term, is stepping out on the national stage with weekend TV interview appearances and, more recently, speeches to Democratic activists in Ohio, North and South Dakota, Wisconsin and Indiana. She invoked a Sarah Palin-like line to describe why she came south.
"I can see Iowa from my porch," Klobuchar likes to say.
Gary Gelner, Democratic county chair in Iowa's Hancock County and a member of the Wing Ding organizing committee, said Klobuchar's appearance stirred up interest in the Wing Ding. "When we got Amy, everything went viral in 24 hours," he said. "It showed up in the London Times. … The headlines are, 'She's getting ready to run.' "

Also disposed on the conductor tracks are spacer elements and a foil composite that includes two metal foil layers with an electrically insulating foil layer disposed between them. The foil composite has contact humps and plated-through holes. At least one of the metal foil layers is structured in a manner to suit the circuitry with which the module is used, and this foil composite is durably connected to the power semiconductor components and to the spacer elements, preferably by ultrasonic welding.
Claims(2) 1. A power semiconductor module for use with circuitry, the module comprising:
at least one substrate;
conductor tracks disposed on at least one of said at least one substrate;
power semiconductor components disposed on said conductor tracks;
spacer elements disposed on said conductor tracks; and
at least one foil composite having:
at least first and second metal foil layers;
an electrically insulating foil layer disposed between each adjacent pair of metal foil layers,
contact humps; and
plated-through holes therein;
wherein at least one of said metal foil layers is configured to suit said circuitry; and
wherein said foil composite is durably bonded to said power semiconductor components and said spacer elements by means of ultrasonic welding.
2. The power semiconductor module of
said foil composite includes a copper foil having a thickness of between about 10 μm and about 50 μm, as said metal foil layer; an electrically insulating plastic foil with a thickness of between about 10 μm and about 50 μm, and an aluminum foil with a thickness of between about 100 μm and about 400 μm, as said second metal foil layer, and
wherein first and second metal foil layers are joined together by adhesive bonds.
Description 1. Field of the Invention The invention is directed to a power semiconductor module and a method for producing a power semiconductor module, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for connecting semiconductor components, especially power semiconductor components such as transistors, thyristors or diodes, with one another and/or with associated supply leads. 2. Description of the Related Art Such power semiconductor modules are the subject of constant research, directed toward increasing their performance and reliability, lengthening their service life, and simultaneously reducing their production cost and size. The points of departure for the invention are the following German Patent Applications of the assignee of the present application: DE 101 21 970 A1, and DE 102 58 565, the latter not having been published by the priority date of the present application. DE 101 21 970 discloses a power semiconductor module comprising a substrate with conductor tracks structured on it to suit circuitry with which the module is used and power semiconductor components disposed on the conductor tracks. A flexible printed circuit board contacts these power semiconductor components. The through-plating is effected by means of an elastic pressure reservoir and a pressure-introducing pressure plate. A disadvantage of this structure is that because of the bending radii of the flexible printed circuit board that is necessary for contacting the power semiconductor components and the conductor tracks of the substrate, the module cannot have a compact structure. Another disadvantage is that adjusting the flexible printed circuit board to the power semiconductor components, disposed on the substrate beforehand, and the other contact faces is complicated and expensive. DE 102 58 565 discloses a power semiconductor module of the plated-through hole type with two metal supply leads; the introduction of pressure is done via these two supply leads. An insulation layer with plated-through holes is disposed between the power semiconductor components and the supply leads. The wiring course of the control terminals is embedded in this insulation layer. A disadvantage of this embodiment of the power semiconductor module is that complex circuit topologies cannot be produced with the disclosed structure. Another disadvantage is that production is very complex and expensive because of the adjustment of multiple layers (the first supply lead, the substrate with the power semiconductor components, at least one insulation layer, and the second supply lead) to one another. Other fundamental references for the invention are German Patent DE 196 17 055 C1 (which corresponds to U.S. Pat. No. 5,856,913) and German Patent Applications DE 41 30 637 A1 and DE 100 37 819 A1. DE 196 17 055 C1 discloses a power semiconductor module with a substrate, with conductor tracks, with power semiconductor components, and with a foil composite comprising a plurality of metal foil layers structured to suit the circuitry, with an electrically insulating foil layer between them; this foil composite also has plated-through holes. What proved disadvantageous here are the recesses in the prepregs, which can sometimes cause severe curvatures of the foil composite if a compact structure is to be attained. DE 41 30 637 A1 discloses the production of a power semiconductor module having the following steps:
A disadvantage of this production method is that contact points to the semiconductor component or to the substrate with solder or adhesive must be provided in a further work step, and that it lacks disclosure of the possibility of connecting electrically connecting auxiliary terminals and control terminals. DE 100 37 819 A1 discloses a construction of a connecting element comprising two metal layers and an electrically insulating layer disposed between them. However, the method has complex, expensive steps, such as a deep etching process of the first metal layer. The object of the present invention is to present a power semiconductor module and an associated production method where the power semiconductor module is designed reliably and extremely compactly, and the production method enables automated production with a low number of individual steps. The two parts of this object are attained by a power semiconductor module and a production method as claimed. The fundamental concept of the inventive power semiconductor module is based on known constructions having a substrate, conductor tracks disposed thereon in a manner to suit the circuitry with which the module is used, and power semiconductor components disposed on the conductor tracks, and a further technique for connecting these power semiconductor components to one another, to the conductor tracks, and/or to supply leads for external contact. The connecting technique of the invention is based on using at least one foil composite comprising two metal foils with an electrically insulating foil layer disposed between them; wherein at least one metal foil layer is structured in a manner to suit the circuitry with which the module is used. The inventive power semiconductor module preferably has further components, known as spacer elements. These spacer elements in turn, within technological limits, have approximately the same thickness as the power semiconductor components. Both these spacer elements and the power semiconductor components are disposed with one main face thereof on the conductor tracks of the substrate. At least one foil composite is disposed on the opposite main faces of the spacer elements and power semiconductor components. For connecting to the power semiconductor components and/or the spacer elements, this foil composite preferably has stamped contact humps. These contact humps of the foil composite are durably and reliably bonded to the spacer elements and/or power semiconductor components by means, for example, of ultrasonic welding. The associated method for producing such a power semiconductor module comprises the following steps. In a first step, a foil composite is produced from at least two metal foil layers and an electrically insulating foil layer placed therebetween. Preferably, the individual foil layers are fixed to one another by adhesive bonding. Next, at least one metal foil layer of the foil composite is configured to suit the circuitry with which the module is used. Plated-through holes to suit the circuitry are also produced between various metal foil layers. Next, contact humps are generated, preferably by stamping. The foil composite is durably bonded at these contact humps to both the power semiconductor components and the spacer elements, preferably by ultrasonic welding. The composite of the foil composite, power semiconductor components and spacer elements is then disposed on the conductor tracks of the substrate, preferably by pressure bonding, soldering or adhesive bonding. The characteristics and features of the invention are described below as examples in conjunction with Other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood, however, that the drawings are designed solely for purposes of illustration and not as a definition of the limits of the invention, for which reference should be made to the appended claims. It should be further understood that the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale and that, unless otherwise indicated, they are merely intended to conceptually illustrate the structures and procedures described herein. In the drawings: The composite of power semiconductor components 202, 204, spacer elements 206 and foil composite 100 is in turn created by means of an ultrasonic welded connection of stamped contact humps 140 of foil composite 100 to spacer elements 206 and power semiconductor components 202, 204. Foil composite 100 itself comprises a copper foil 110, forming the first metal foil layer, preferably having a thickness of between about 10 μm and about 50 μm; an electrically insulating plastic foil 120, preferably having a thickness of between about 10 μm and about 50 μm; and an aluminum foil 130, forming the second metal foil layer, preferably having a thickness of between about 100 μm and about 400 μm. These individual foil layers 110, 120, 130 are joined by adhesive bonding. Copper foil 110 serves as the conductor track of the control and auxiliary terminals, such as the gate terminals, the auxiliary emitter terminals, or the terminals of sensor system components. Aluminum foil 130 serves as a conductor track for the load terminals of the power semiconductor module. Advantageously, both metal foils 110, 130 are intrinsically structured such as by apertures 112, 132, respectively, for this purpose. To make auxiliary emitter terminals, for instance, the foil composite has plated-through holes 122 between the two metal foils 110, 130. These plated-through holes 122 can preferably be produced by laser drilling and ensuing laser-supported filling with a conductive material. Plated-through holes 122 having a diameter of a few hundred micrometers are possible. Further components can be disposed on copper foil 110, such as sensor system components, resistors 160, capacitors, coils, and/or integrated circuits 150. For this purpose, bonds made by soldering are preferred. Such components 150, 160 disposed there may take over individual functions involved in triggering the power semiconductor module. The entire driver circuit may also be disposed here. Spacer elements 206 serve the purpose of making electrical contact between foil composite 100 and conductor tracks 310 of substrate 300. Since in compact constructions of the power semiconductor module, foil composite 100 cannot be put into direct contact with conductor tracks 310 of substrate 300, spacer elements 206 form an electrically conductive connection therebetween. Preferably, spacer elements 206 are designed as aluminum blocks with a height of ±10% of the height of power semiconductor components 202, 204. The second part of the circuit arrangement is an inverter 20 having a positive direct-voltage input 1304 and a negative direct-voltage input 1303 as well as three identical half-bridge circuits. Each half-bridge circuit comprises one upper and one lower power semiconductor switch, in this case a respective IGBT 202, each with an antiparallel-connected free-wheeling diode 204 a. A series resister 160 is placed in front of each gate of an IGBT 202. The output of inverter 1305 is formed by the three alternating-voltage phases. Copper foil 110 shown is intrinsically structured so that a plurality of individual conductor tracks 1120 are formed. These conductor tracks 1120 connect an external controller (not shown), to an integrated circuit 150 for triggering the gates of power transistors (see The conductor tracks of aluminum foil 130 have stamped contact humps 140 for connection to the spacer elements 206 and to power semiconductor components 202, 204 (see The positive direct-voltage input of the inverter corresponds to the associated conductor track 1304 of aluminum foil 130. This conductor track 1304 is connected to the conductor track 3104 of substrate 300 via a spacer element 206 and is thus connected to the collectors of the three upper power transistors 202 as well as to the cathodes of the associated antiparallel-connected diodes 204 a. The emitters of power transistors 202, like the anodes of associated diodes 204 a, are connected to the three conductor tracks 1305 of aluminum foil 130. These conductor tracks are connected via spacer elements 206 to three conductor tracks 3103 of substrate 300 and thus to the collectors of lower power transistors 202 and to the associated cathodes of the antiparallel-connected diodes 204 a. Simultaneously, three conductor tracks 1305 of aluminum foil 130 serve as alternating-voltage outputs of the inverter. The emitters of lower power transistors 202 and the associated anodes of diodes 204 a are connected to conductor track 1303 and thus to the associated negative direct-voltage terminal of the inverter. The production method of the invention will also be explained below in conjunction with In the next processing step, both metal foils are structured on both sides by masking and an ensuing wet-chemical process, by etching out trenches 112, 132 therein. Conductor tracks 1120 of the auxiliary and control terminals on copper foil 110 are formed in the process, and those of the load terminals or load connections are formed on aluminum foil 130. Also in this process, the requisite contact islands, isolated from the other conductor tracks, are formed on aluminum foil 130. For auxiliary and control terminals, in the next method step plated-through holes 122 are embodied between aluminum foil 130 and copper foil 110. To that end, blind bores are drilled by a laser through copper foil 110 and insulating foil 120 as far as into aluminum foil 130, and these bores are then filled with a metal material. Such plated-through holes 122, for auxiliary emitters, for instance, connect conductor tracks of copper foil 110 to conductor tracks of the load terminals or load connections of aluminum foil 130. Conductor tracks for control terminals on copper foil 110 are joined by the same kind of plated-through holes 122 to contact islands on aluminum foil 130. In the next method step, contact humps 140 are made in foil composite 100. To that end, contact humps 140 on aluminum foil 130 are stamped on copper foil 110. The two other foils 110, 120 conform to this contour thus formed. This does not hinder the function of insulating foil layer 120. The spacer elements and the power semiconductor components are durably connected electrically conductively to the contact humps of the foil composite, preferably by ultrasonic welding. This creates a composite comprising power semiconductor components and their "wiring", or in other words, their foil composite 100. This composite is simple and can be produced without a large number of serial processes, such as are necessary in the prior art for wire bond connections. This composite produced up to this point is now disposed on the substrate by known methods, such as soldering, adhesive bonding with conductive adhesives, or by means of a pressure-contacting method. This creates an extremely compact, stable construction of a power semiconductor module, which can be disposed in a required housing by known methods. Thus, while there have shown and described and pointed out fundamental novel features of the invention as applied to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood that various omissions and substitutions and changes in the form and details of the devices illustrated, and in their operation, may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, it is expressly intended that all combinations of those elements and/or method steps which perform substantially the same function in substantially the same way to achieve the same results are within the scope of the invention. Moreover, it should be recognized that structures and/or elements and/or method steps shown and/or described in connection with any disclosed form or embodiment of the invention may be incorporated in any other disclosed or described or suggested form or embodiment as a general matter of design choice. It is the intention, therefore, to be limited only as indicated by the scope of the claims appended hereto. Patent Citations

I prefer not to say too much about the game, as discovering the details for yourself is part of the experience. My personal thoughts about the game and its history are in the afterword, but interpreting its meaning is up to you. Everything in the game is there for a reason.
The Infinite Ocean is a Myst-style point & click adventure game. It's fairly big for a flash game, and has a lot of story, so to enjoy it you need to take your time.
You interact with the environment by left-clicking.
To turn left or right, move your mouse to the edge of the room and click on the arrow that appears.
The main menu appears at the top of the screen when you move your mouse there.
For more detailed information, read the Instructions/Help screen in the game. (Highly recommended!)

This was beautiful! The long texts didn't even seem tedious because I was so hooked into the story! The graphics made an atmosphere that made me expect a jumpscare or something but it never happened so this is the best thing of my day. The walls were scary enough, though.
(Truth be told, the music started to annoy me after a while, but that might be because it took me hours to beat the game, so that's my fault!)
I can't believe I only found this just now, but I am damn satisfied with my encounter!

I AM. blown away. this was less of a game and more so an experience. the writing, which carried absolutely everything (as fantastic writing should), was remarkably brilliant. you are an outstanding writer and game designer. i will continue to hunt for your name online for more depth created by you.. i hope sometime in the future i can pick up a hard cover novel with your publicized work printed between the pages:]
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Simply epic. I have always been a fan of this style of gaming, and this is about as close to the old classics like "Myst" as I have seen in Flash in quite a while. I've only seen one other game come close, but let's not make comparisons here. This game deserves credit and respect on its own merits.
The art design was very nice. The back story was a very nice touch, although I'll be honest - I didn't read nearly half of it. But again, that took me back to the older games. The amount of sifting one has to do to solve some of the puzzles was very reminiscent of Myst, wherein there was that destroyed library, with several burned books holding the vital clues needed to pass each of the game's major puzzles. I really liked the "message parser" element of solving the puzzles. I didn't read the instructions before playing, so I got a bit hung up on figuring out what I had to do with the codes, but once I got the hang of it, it added yet another level to the depth of this game. Nothing HUGE, but a very nice touch that beat the simple "click this, click that, wave your mouse around the screen for hotspots, guess what to do next" pattern I see in a lot of other games like this nowadays!
Finally, the soundtrack was perfect, in my personal opinion. It fit the desolation and hope that I was feeling for the main character, although by the time I got halfway through, I knew how it would end for the hero... or heroine?
This was all very nostalgic for me... So my verdict is 5/5, 10/10, and added to my Favorites.

Dice Express is a 5 reel (non-progressive), 21-payline, Viaden Video Slot. It comes with a scatter symbol and has a maximum jackpot win of $500.
Dice Express is the first in a series of slots from Viaden Gaming. This is the version aimed at penny slots players and bargain hunters. Despite the thrifty wagers Dice Express still includes wild icons, scatter wins and two bonus rounds. It also offers a 10,000 coin jackpot, good for £/$/€500 when using the 0.05 stake!
Stripped back, traditional and simple would be the three adjectives most commonly used to describe the appearance of Dice Express. This will appeal to gamblers who prefer a slot to be, well, a slot. The designers have opted for a generic blue leaf background and classic five reel layout combined with 20 possible paylines. This is a fair few more than other Viaden slots which just goes to show they are a company which plans to cater for all tastes.
Reel icons offer an eclectic mixture of the traditional and modern. They include V logos, cherries, grapes, dice, desert islands, cocktails, pineapples, plums, melons, lemons, yachts and spin icons. They remain static when a win is paid, instead combinations are marked with a flashing graphic marking the payline on which the win occurred.
The variety of icons is matched by the variety of bets. The maximum coin value is 0.05 with minimum bets of just 1 penny when playing a single line. If you crank it up to 20 paylines you could be betting £/$/€1 per spin. This is far more than other Viaden slots, but far less than competitors which is impressive when considering the prizes available.
Two or more scatter symbols awards an instant win based on your line bet. Two of these icons pays 5x, three pays x8, four pays x20 and five pays x1000.
Five Dice symbols on an active payline unlocks the bonus game. This presents a monopoly style board game where you roll the dice seven times. Each roll awards a multiplier of your line stake ranging from 15x to 200x with your total winnings added to your credits at the end of the round. Some of the games segments transports you back, up or holds your turn which means not every roll is certain to produce a winner.
Dice Express includes a second bonus game entitled Wheel of Fortune. This round is triggered with five Spin! Symbols.
We have to admit we were pleasantly surprised by the bonus games which offer so much more than standard gameplay. When combined with the low stakes, high prizes and ease of use we feel Dice Express can hold its own in the ever busy online slot marketplace.

I am a slim 6 but the instep of the boot is cut far too high towards your ankle so you cannot rotate your heal and push your foot into them at all.

Methods for collecting interstitial water (IW) in laboratory ecotoxicological testing were compared and used to characterize the partitioning behavior of a cationic surfactant in batch sediment/water systems. IW sampling methods included a conventional centrifugation technique, dialysis through a rayon membrane, and a novel fritted glass diffusion sampler. Dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (TMAC) was the test compound monitored radiometrically in each static-renewal experiment. A 10-mg/L TMAC solution was delivered to test systems as overlying water, replenished daily; TMAC levels in sediment, interestitial water, and overlying water were monitored throughout the 20-day experiments. IW samples collected by the centrifugation procedure contained greater TMAC concentrations than samples collected by either dialysis or the fritted glass sampler. Equilibration of TMAC concentrations across the dialysis membrane was slow (>5 days), resulting in a substantial lag. Advantages of using the fritted glass sampler for ecotoxicological testing are discussed. Following rapid changes in TMAC levels in each compartment during the initial five days of each experiment, order of magnitude differences were observed in TMAC concentrations among sediments, overlying water, and interstitial waters, in decreasing order. The partition coefficient measured in separate shake-flask experiments performed at a high solids concentration was similar to the observed ratio between TMAC levels in sediments and interstitial water. Sorption of TMAC onto sediments was consistent with a first-order kinetics process.

Who says a slut can't respect herself? How is it any more respectful to live up to society's arbitrary standards than your own?
was it a male or a female saying that? to me it doesn't matter what a woman wears, rape isn't about sexual attraction or how sexy the woman is, i mean maybe some one should ask this person from the show, was the 80 yr old that was raped dressed to sluttly? rape is about power and control, i understand you are repeating what the person said and its not nec what you are saying
Quoting Anonymous:
I'm sorry that happened to you. I can't imagine how terrifying that must have been. I would guess the guy would say that your situation is completely different than the situation he was talking about.
Quoting Anonymous:
So what about those who were wearing jeans and a tshirt? because thats what I was wearing when i was raped, in the "safety" of my own home, should I blame the "sluts" for that (according to the guest) or should I place the blame where it should be on my attacker
Quoting Anonymous:
He said it would still be tragic but her choices were stupid.
A guest on dr Phil said that, not dr Phil just FYI
Quoting mommie2twogirls:
I was wondering the same thing.....
Quoting ihave1:
so he is saying if she does that & gets raped its her fault. Nice.
Also if a woman walks around nude and gets raped I don't blame her at all. There is no excuse for rape no woman "asks for it"

Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu Cooperative Bank Employees Association has urged the State Government to implement the recommendations of the wage revision committee for the employees of 4,455 primary agriculture cooperative societies in the State.
P.Balakrishnan, general secretary of the association, said though the wage revision committee had submitted its recommendation to the Registrar of Cooperative Societies a year ago, the Government had not issued orders for wage revision.
The Government had regularised 29,000 employees in the cooperative sector still 6,000 employees were yet to be regularised. After the implementation of Prof.A.Vaidyanathan Committee's recommendations, unnecessary restrictions were imposed to curtail the banking operations being tendered by the PACS. As there are about 4,455 societies in the State which had earned expertise in carrying basic banking operations, they should be allowed to continue their basic banking operations for the benefit of rural people.
In support of their demands, cooperative bank employees from all over the State will take out a rally in Chennai on August 31.
At the end of the rally, a memorandum will be submitted to the Principal Secretary to the Cooperative Department, according to Mr.Balakrishnan.

The Lone Star College System Board of Trustees Tuesday voted unanimously to appoint Dr. Steve Head as the next chancellor of LSCS.
Dr. Head becomes the fourth chancellor for LSCS, replacing Dr. Richard Carpenter who announced in February that he was retiring as chancellor this summer.Ā
The announcement was made July 1 as part of a special board meeting that took place at the system office. Dr. Head had been chosen as the lone finalist June 10. Texas law required a 21-day waiting period before the formal vote could be made to approve Dr. Head as chancellor.Ā
ōI have been privileged to take part in the tremendous growth Lone Star College has experienced and am excited to have the opportunity to lead this college to the next level,ö said Dr. Head.Ā
ōDr. Head was at the top of our list from the beginning of this process,ö Holsey said. ōHe is really connected to our students and to the community as a whole.ö
ōLone Star College System is in great shape and is in capable hands going forward with Dr. Head at the helm,ö Holsey said.
Prior to being named chancellor, Dr. Head served as the president of Lone Star College-North Harris since 2007. ĀHe has also held the position of executive vice chancellor, acting chief operating officer, and president of LSC-Kingwood, among other positions. Dr. Head received his M.A. and B.A. in history from Lamar University in Beaumont and his Ph.D. in history from Texas Tech University.
Lone Star College System has been opening doors to a better community for 40 years. Founded in 1973, LSCS remains steadfast in its commitment to student success and credential completion. ĀToday, with 78,000 students in credit classes, and a total enrollment of more than 90,000, Lone Star College System is the largest institution of higher education in the Houston area and one of the fastest-growing community college systems in the nation. ĀDr. Richard Carpenter is the chancellor of LSCS, which consists of six colleges including LSC-CyFair, LSC-Kingwood, LSC-Montgomery, LSC-North Harris, LSC-Tomball and LSC-University Park, seven centers, LSC-University Center at Montgomery, LSC-University Center at University Park, Lone Star Corporate College, and LSC-Online.Ā

dc.description.abstract | Sidewalk failures associated with top soil of low shear strength are a common problem in urban areas. Mixing top soil with granite chips can be used to increase its permeability and shear strength. The effects of mixing granite chips with top soils on the hydraulic properties and shear strength under saturated and unsaturated conditions were investigated in this study. The results showed that the mixing top soils with granite chips caused changes in several key parameters of the soil–water characteristic curve (e.g., the air-entry value, the residual matric suction, and the residual volumetric water content) and the unsaturated permeability of the top soils. The saturated permeability and shear strength of the soil mixture increased with increasing content of granite chips. |

This is an intricate braid I first saw in the handle of an old sword found in the 1,000 years old Viking stone parliament in Reykjavik, Iceland. I was able to reproduce it, after seeing a lady in a Danish park braiding her girl's hair in this pattern. This ring is handcrafted by us in California from rose & yellow 14 karat gold filled and sterling silver wires, it is stamped 14K/20. We construct each piece from wires which are shaped into our design, coiled, cut and solder as rings (if you look carefully you may see the soldering joint showing is handmade). As a final step the ring is carefully heat-treated, this last time-consuming step does not add to its beauty, but it allows the ring to remain malleable so it can easily be sized for a perfect fit.
