Plasma treatment of large area substrates such as glass or semiconductor substrates used in the fabrication of flat panel displays or 300 mm silicon wafers respectively pose a series of problems that do not occur in the processing of small area substrates. One problem is simply the generation of plasmas of sufficient area to treat the large area substrate. A second problem is the maintenance of the uniformity of the plasma density and chemistry over such a large area.
The use of inductively or transformer coupled plasma sources (ICP and TCP, respectively) are affected both by the difficulty of maintaining plasma uniformity using inductive coil antenna designs and the cost of fabricating and maintaining such systems which require large and thick quartz windows for coupling the antenna radiation into the processing chamber. The use of such thick quartz windows results in an increase in rf power (and reduction in efficiency) due to heat dissipation within the window.
The use of Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) and Helicon type sources are limited by the difficulty in scaling the resonant magnetic field to large areas when a single antenna or waveguide is used. Furthermore, most ECR sources utilize microwave power which is more expensive and difficult to tune electrically. The use of hot cathode plasma sources results in the contamination of the plasma environment due to the evaporation of cathode material, while cold cathode sources result in contamination due to exposure of the cold cathode to the plasma generated.
The present invention avoids these problems encountered by previous large area plasma processing systems.
The present invention relates to an easily scalable and maintainable system for producing a uniform plasma of any size. In one embodiment a plurality of rf plasma sources are removably attached to the dielectric windows such as glass or quartz of a vacuum processing chamber, while in another embodiment each of the plurality of sources includes its own window and is attached to the chamber. Plasma measuring probes within the chamber provide information on the plasma uniformity and this information is used to control the rf energy applied to each of the rf plasma sources so as to maintain the desired uniformity. In one embodiment, the plasma measuring probes are Langmuir probes. In another embodiment, the probes are Faraday cups. In yet another embodiment, the probes are optical probes.
In another embodiment, a plasma source includes a quartz window with an integral tube for gas introduction. Several of such plasma sources using different gases may be combined in a linear array for the sequential treatment of substrates in an inline processing system.
In a further embodiment multiple antennae rf sources are used to provide a uniform plasma during the pulsing phase and steady state in order to provide a uniform ion implantation dose to a large area substrate. The plasma source is stationary and the wafers are transported through the plasma or the wafers are stationary and the plasma is transported past the wafers.

In brief overview and referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment of the system of the invention 10 includes a vacuum chamber 14 having a vacuum port 18 connected to a vacuum pump (not shown). In the embodiment shown, the system 10 includes a series of dielectric windows 26 vacuum sealed by O-rings 30 and attached by removable clamps 34 to the upper surface 22 of the vacuum chamber 14. Removably attached to some of these dielectric windows 26 are rf plasma sources 40, in one embodiment having a helical or pancake antennae 46 located within an outer shield/ground 44. Other embodiments of the antennae using capacitive or inductive coupling may be used. Cooling of each antenna is accomplished by passing a cooling fluid through the antenna. Cooling is typically required only at higher power. The windows 26 without attached rf plasma sources 40 are usable as viewing ports into the chamber 14. The removability of each plasma source 40 permits the associated dielectric window 26 to be cleaned or the plasma source 40 replaced without the vacuum within the system 10 being removed. Although glass windows are used in this embodiment, other dielectric material such as quartz or polyethylene may be used for the window material.
Each antenna 46 is connected to a rf generator 66 through a matching network 50, through a coupling capacitor 54. Each antenna 46 also includes a tuning capacitor 58 connected in parallel with its respective antenna 46. Each of the tuning capacitors 58 is controlled by a signal D, D′, D″ from a controller 62. By individually adjusting the tuning capacitors 58 the output power from each rf antenna 46 can be adjusted to maintain the uniformity of the plasma generated. Other tuning means such as zero reflective power tuning may be also be used to adjust the power to the antennae. In one embodiment, the rf generator 66 is controlled by a signal E from the controller 62. In one embodiment, the controller 62 controls the power to the antennae 46 by a signal F to the matching network 50.
The controller 62 adjusts the tuning capacitors 58 and the rf generator 66 in response to a signal A from a sensor 70 (such as a Real Power Monitor by Comdel, Inc., Beverly, Mass.) monitoring the power delivered to the antennae 46, a signal B from a fast scanning Langmuir probe 74 directly measuring the plasma density and a signal C from a plurality of Faraday cups 78 attached to a substrate wafer holder 82. The Langmuir probe 74 is scanned by moving the probe (double arrow I) into and out of the plasma. With these sensors, the settings for the rf generator 66 and the tuning capacitors 58 may be determined by the controller prior to the actual use of the system 10 to plasma treat a substrate. Once the settings are determined, the probes are removed and the wafer to be treated is introduced. In another embodiment of the system, the probes are left in place during processing to permit real time control of the system. In such an embodiment using a Langmuir probe, care must be taken to not contaminate the plasma with particles evaporating from the probe and to not shadow the substrate being processed. In yet another embodiment of the system, the characteristics of the system are determined at manufacture and the system does not include plasma probes.
Referring to FIG. 2, the configuration of plasma sources 40 may be such that a plurality of physically smaller plasma sources 40 produce a uniform plasma over an area greater than that of sum of the areas of the individual sources. In the embodiment of the configuration shown, four four-inch diameter plasma sources 40 spaced at the corners of a square at six inch centers produce a plasma substantially equivalent to that generated by a single twelve inch diameter source. Therefore, by providing a vacuum chamber 14 with a plurality of windows 26, the various configurations of plasma sources 40 may be formed to produce a uniform plasma of the shape and uniformity desired. Antennae such as those depicted do not result in rf interference between sources when properly shielded as shown.
Multiple rf plasma sources can excite electron cyclotron resonance in the presence of a multi-dipole surface magnetic field. Such a surface magnetic field would, for example, be approximately 1 KG at the pole face and would drop to a few Gauss at about 10 cm. from the pole face. In such a system, electron cyclotron resonance may be established, with the electron cyclotron resonance frequency (in Hz) being given by the expression ν=2.8�106 (B) where B is the magnetic field strength in Gauss. Thus, if the fundamental electron cyclotron resonance frequency is 13.56 MHz (that is, the frequency supplied by the rf generator) the magnetic field required (as applied by the magnets) is 4.8 G, for resonance coupling to take place. Higher harmonics of the fundamental resonance frequency may be achieved by increasing the magnetic field proportionately. Thus for a second harmonic to be coupled, the magnetic field would have to be increased to 9.6 G. Such ECR coupling is most effective at lower pressures (P<1 mTorr). The use of the small rf plasma sources permit such magnets to be positioned so as to make electron cyclotron resonance possible.
The faraday cups 78 used to measure the uniformity of the field and the plasma dose, in one embodiment, are positioned near one edge in the surface of the wafer holder 82 (FIG. 3). The flat edge 86 of wafer 90 is positioned on the wafer holder 82 such that faraday cups 78 of the wafer holder 82 are exposed to the plasma. In this way the plasma dose experienced by the wafer 90 can be directly measured. Alternatively, a special wafer 90′, as shown in FIG. 3a, is fabricated with a plurality of faraday cups 78 embedded in the wafer 90′. This special wafer 90′ is used to set the rf generator 66 and the tuning capacitors 58 to achieve the desired plasma density and uniformity. Once the operating parameters have been determined, the special wafer 90′ is removed and the wafers 90 to be processed placed on the wafer holder 82.
Referring to FIG. 4, although the system 10 has been described in terms of a planar array of plasma sources 40 located on the upper surface of the vacuum chamber 14, the plasma sources 40 may be distributed over other surfaces of the vacuum chamber 14′ to generate a uniform volume of plasma. Such a system is particularly effective in batch processing.
Referring to FIG. 5, in another embodiment, a quartz window 100 is not attached to the vacuum chamber 14, but instead encloses one end of the shield 44 of the plasma source 40′. In this embodiment, a tube 104 attached to an opening 108 in the quartz window 100 provides a gas feed to form a plasma of a specific gas. In this case, the plasma source 40′ is not attached to a window 26 in the wall of the vacuum chamber 14, but is instead attached to the vacuum chamber 14 itself. Such plasma sources 40′ can produce plasmas from specific gasses as are required by many processes. Several such plasma sources 40′ can be aligned to sequentially treat a wafer 90 with different plasmas as in the embodiment of the inline system shown in FIG. 6. In this embodiment, wafers 90 are moved by a conveyor 112 through sequential zones, in this embodiment zones I and II, of a continuous processing line 114. Each zone is separated from the adjacent zones by a baffle 116. In one embodiment, the gas in zone I is SiH4 used in Si-CVD processing, while the gas in zone II is PH3 used in doping. In another embodiment, a cluster tool having load-locks to isolate each processing chamber from the other chambers, and equipped with a robot includes the rf plasma sources 40 of the invention for plasma CVD and plasma etching.
FIG. 7 depicts an embodiment of the system of the invention using two plasma sources. In this embodiment each source is an inductive pancake antenna 3-4 inches in diameter. Each antenna 46 is constructed of a � inch copper tube and contains 5-6 turns. Each antenna 46 is connected to a matching network 50 through a respective 160 pf capacitor. The matching network 50 includes a 0.03 μH inductor 125 and two variable capacitors 130, 135. One variable capacitor 130 is adjustable over the range of 10-250 pf and the second capacitor 135 is adjustable over the range of 5-120 pf. The matching network 50 is tuned by adjusting the variable capacitor 130, 135. The matching network 50 is in turn connected to an rf source 66 operating at 13.56 mHz. A series of magnets 140, 145 are positioned around the circumference of the chamber in alternating polarity every 7 cm to form a magnetic bucket.
With the chamber operating at 1 m Torr pressure, the power to the antenna 46 is 25 W per antenna or about 50 W total. With the pressure in the chamber reduced to 0.1 m Torr, the power is increased to 200 W per antenna or 400 W total. The resulting plasma at 50 W total power has a substantially uniform density of 1011/cm3. The uniformity and the density may be further improved using four of such sources.
Referring to FIG. 8, one embodiment of the arrangement of magnets for ECR generation utilizes a plurality of magnets 150 adjacent the antenna 46. In this embodiment, the plurality of the magnets 150 is reversed between the antennae. FIG. 8a depicts another embodiment in which each source has its own set of magnets. Other magnet configurations are possible.
Referring to FIG. 9, an embodiment of a large area substrate consists of a high voltage wafer holder 210 on which many wafers 201 can be placed. If the holder 210 is biased at a large negative voltage (DC) and transported along the linear length of the plasma source 220, a desired ion implantation dose will be reached. This is a simple way to achieve the separation of thin-film silicon layer by ion implantation as used in the Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) technology. Alternatively, the plasma source 220 could be pulsed and the wafer holder 210 remains stationary to achieve the same effects.
The multiple antennae plasma source 200 is especially useful for processing of silicon wafers 201 when large ion implantation dosages are desired. The throughput of such a system is extremely large in comparison with any other system including conventional high current beam-line implantation. For example, a particular thin-film transfer technique using hydrogen ion implantation into Si-wafer to separate the top silicon layer with the bulk wafer via hydrogen ion embitterment. The dosage required is 1016 to 1017 ions-cm2. Another technique is the Separation by Ion IMplantation of Oxygen (SIMOX) having oxygen implantation dosage of 1018 ions-cm−2. Being the best conventional high current ion implantation available in the market will require long implantation time, up to several hours. Using the large area plasma source 220 and the described process and apparatus allows the implantation time to approach seconds for batch processing of a large number of wafers 201.
Two methods can be used for the batch processing of wafers. The first method includes pulsing the large area plasma source 220 with a negative high voltage dc bias from the HVDC supply 230, which is connected to the wafers 201. When the plasma forms and expands to the wafers, all of the ions are accelerated to the wafer by the electric field at the wafer surface. As a result, all of the accelerated ions have the same energy because of the large dc electric field at the wafer surface in comparison to either the plasma potential or the kinetic energy of the ions as the plasma expands. As the implant dose will be controlled by the exposure time of the wafer to the plasma, the plasma is turned off when the desired dosage is reached. The large plasma source allows essentially infinite number of wafer exposure (implantation) at a short time, limited by the available high voltage power rating of the wafer bias. The throughput of such a system is potentially 100 to 1,000 times that of conventional technology.
The uniformity of the implant can be controlled precisely as the individual rf coils can be tuned separately for the optimum plasma uniformity. FIG. 10 shows the dosage relation to the exposure time.
The second method and apparatus is known as In-line processing, shown in FIG. 11. The large area plasma source 260 is operated steady-state and the wafers 201 are moving from one end to the other end as the exposure time t=S/V where S is the length of the plasma (linear length of the plasma source) and V is the speed of the wafer transport. FIG. 12 shows the ion dose relation with the distance or time relationship for this embodiment. Again, the uniformity can be adjusted by controlling the tuning and power level of each rf coil. The throughput of such a system is also extremely high.
In such a system, with the adjusting of the plasma density and the ion dosage per sec (dose rate), it's possible to control the wafer temperature precisely (with and without external wafer cooling means). A simplified version of the in-line system, shown in FIG. 13, can also be used which results in simple equipment design and which will not need wafer cooling for most SPIT applications. FIG. 14 depicts the ion dose and temperature profile of an individual wafer. In such a system, the large area plasma source allows a simple connection procedure of the negative high-voltage bias to the wafer and the wafer transport robot system as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16.
After the wafers are loaded in the loading port (FIG. 13), the robot transport system with high voltage connection 270 will connect to the wafer holder 275 moving through the plasma for the desired exposure as shown in FIG. 13 and repeat the procedure and send the wafer back for a second batch of exposure.
Multiple antennae rf sources are used to provide a uniform plasma during the pulsing phase and the steady state as to give uniform ion implantation dose to a large area substrate which is biased at a negative voltage. When the plasma is pulsed on, other types of excitation depend on the particular ionization mechanism (i.e. in the case of electron cyclotron resonant ECR source, a resonance ionization process), the location of plasma initiation is often localized. As such, the uniformity of such sources during the turn-on phase is poor. It also takes a long time for such plasma sources to reach steady-state with the desired uniformity (preferably less than 5%) for normal plasma processes. The multiple antennae source has multiple ionization locations and are individually tuned by the electronic and tuning circuits. As such, a uniform plasma is provided from the pulsing phase all the way to steady state by control of the individual antenna. This is done precisely with the feedback scheme disclosed in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/503,973, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Having shown the preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art will realize many variations are possible which will still be within the scope and spirit of the claimed invention. Therefore, it is the intention to limit the invention only as indicated by the scope of the claims.

Tilade helped I took Tilade for a short while several years ago. I had had a bad cough for quite a while and was bringing up a lot of mucus. I stopped bringing up mucus after a while, but the cough persisted and I told my allergist about this and he prescribed Tilade. It cleared up the cough. I am only remembering it now because I have been experiencing right now a lot of coughing and bringing up Phlegm. This happens to me every couple months.
Tilade I could not use this medication because it caused immediate and severe bronchospasm. It tastes like what my doctor said one of his young patients said: "like dead bugs". I will have to agree with her on that.

Michael Phelps: (How long is he in the pool for each day) Anywhere from two to five hours a day, but if you don't put the work in, you can't really expect to get much out of it. I'm more than willing to put the work in so I'm swimming fast at the end of the year.
Michael Phelps: (Where does he see himself in future Olympics) I don't know for sure. I'll definitely go another four years and then see what happens. I would love to swim in New York in 2012 if the games end up there and finish my career in America. It would be really exciting just to have the games here, and then for me to go out on that kind of stage in my own country would just be amazing, but I'm really trying not to get too ahead of myself.
Michael Phelps: (What experience did he gain from the 2000 Olympics competing as a 15 year old) I had a better idea of what competing on that grand a stage would be like. I think I was a little less nervous because of that previous experience.

Microsoft unveils Windows 8 for consumer testing
If Windows 8 is a flop, however, it will increase the pressure on Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. His 12-year reign has been marred by the company's troubles adapting to an Internet-driven upheaval. As Microsoft has stumbled, faster-innovating companies such as Apple and Google have elbowed their way into a position to steer the direction of computing for the next decade or two.
Microsoft's financial performance traditionally improves when it releases a new version of Windows. The last upgrade came in October 2009 when Windows 7 hit the market. The company has sold more than 525 million copies of Windows 7 since then. Part of Window 7's success stemmed from pent-up demand; the previous version, Vista, was so clunky and buggy that many PC users stuck with the system they already had on their machines or switched to Apple's technology on Mac computers.
Microsoft shares dipped 13 cents to close at $31.74 Wednesday after the new operating system was introduced. The stock has been hovering around its highest levels since April 2008.
Windows 8 is radically different from its predecessors, with its tiles that provide a glimpse at the activity occurring in applications connected to the Web, such as email.
The system also is expected to enable users to easily back up their pictures, movies, music and other files on a Microsoft storage service called SkyDrive, which will compete against Apple's iCloud.
Julie Larson-Green, head of "Windows Experience" and responsible for delivering a new operating system that wows the world's PC users, showed how documents and data can be stored in one device only to appear instantaneously in another.
"It will populate with everything you are used to using right away," she said.
The operating system's versatility means it can be used to power computer tablets, as well as traditional PCs.
Microsoft badly wants a piece of the tablet market that has been cutting into PC sales since Apple introduced the iPad two years ago.
In the quarter that included the holiday shopping season, Apple shipped 15.4 million iPads, more than doubling the volume from the same time a year earlier. Meanwhile, worldwide personal computer sales dipped slightly, and Microsoft's revenue in its Windows division declined 6 percent. It marked the fourth time in the past five quarters that Microsoft's Windows revenue has fallen from the previous year.
Reversing or slowing that trend is critical for Microsoft. It still relies on the PC industry for about 55 percent of its revenue, according to Nomura Equity Research analyst Rick Sherlund.
"The launch of Windows 8 should provide a few years of robust growth and opportunity for Microsoft to reposition itself to better defend its position against challengers," Sherlund wrote in a note after Microsoft reported the latest erosion in its Windows division.
Besides spurring more sales of the new operating system, Windows 8 is likely to drive demand for the next generation of the Office suite, another major moneymaker for Microsoft. In the demonstration in Barcelona, Office looked just like it normally does - but can be opened with a finger swipe.
Windows 8 could inspire more PC makers to design machines that combine the convenience of tablets with the utility of a notebook computer. These devices would be similar to the so-called "ultrabook" computers that offer a Windows-based version of Apple's lightweight MacBook Air machines.
Once Windows 8 is available, the ultrabook line could be expanded to include machines equipped with a screen that swivels off the keyboard to take advantage of the system's touch controls and provide a tablet-like experience.
Liedtke reported from San Francisco.

The Order Of Dii [Dii] wishes to invite all friends,
old and new, for a celebration of our 8th birthday
on Saturday November 17th!
There will be drinks,
there will be snacks,
there will be fireworks.
There will be games,
there will be races
there will be quizzes,
and yes there will be prizes!
Where?: Main celebration in Lion's Arch The Grove (change of venue due to LA overflows) on Stormbluff Isle (NA). Celebrations will also happen in parallel on Aurora Glade (EU).
When?: 9 PM - 12 AM UTC (an online time converter can be found here). (Also, pro tip: the Official Wiki uses UTC)
How to participate?: Since GW2 works a bit differently from GW1, we have decided to conduct all of our birthday contests in our own Guild Chat. This means that to participate in the contests you have to a) leave your GW2 tag (either by leaving it here in the thread or send a in-game mail to Lensor.9367) so you can be invited to our for-the-occasion BIRTHDAY GUEST rank, and b) make sure to represent during the party. That's it!
Our celebration coinciding with the Lost Shore update, the guild will also be experiencing the new content together over the course of the weekend.
So if you are in the mood to party, drop by and join the fun!
In-game schedule:
09.00 PM - Welcome speech!
09.10 PM - This being our very first birthday party in Guild Wars 2, we will start off with a light GW2 quiz. Prizes for first correct answer.
09.30 PM Secret contest. Hint: A rabbit might be good at it.
10.00 PM - Scavenger hunt! The first person to show each announced item in GC will receive a prize!
10.30 PM Lensor says deathmatch! Last man, or woman, standing wins a prize of 1 gold! (If no one can be crowned winner after half an hour all remaining contestants will share this prize.)
11.00 PM - Draw for the grand lottery! (/roll *number of contestants* in Dii Guild Hall in GW1 if anyone wants to witness)
11.10 PM - Running Race! Time to burn off some of those banquet calories.
11.30 PM - Fashion contest lineup and judging.
12.00 AM Change of Guild Emblem and Group Photo ops
All the time:
- All guild perks as well as banners will be live.
- A Guild Banquet will be up for the majority of the celebration (2 hours total since we can only stock up on two). There will also be some free drinks and snacks to keep the buzz up in between.
- Outfit contest. Prize for best outfit, one class for both genders and all races. First prizes still to be announced.
- Simon says! This one should be a cakewalk for everyone with Halloween in fresh memory. But since we in Dii are nice, we will not kill anyone, there will only be prizes. The first person to do an e-mote after a dedicated person "Says" will receive a prize (check Guild announcement for in-game name of "Simon"). This can happen at any time during the celebrations, so stay alert!
- We will have an emmisary posted at the Zaishen Menagerie outpost International in Guild Wars 1 for handing out of the Guild Wars 1 prizes.
- Our Vent server will be open for everyone during the celebration (slots permitting of course). Make sure to pop by and say hi! (info will be posted in our in-game guild announce).
All weekend:
We will be running content together all weekend, especially the new Lost Shore. We will also keep up our guild perks as much as we can.
General rules:
All contests are kept in our Guild Chat, anyone can join to be our very special Birthday Guest though!
General chit-chat in /say (to not mess up the entire zone .
Sometimes the "emote" channel is used too, so make sure to activate all channels!
Speed boosts are allowed at all times.
But wait, there is more!
If you are not able to join the in-game fun, you still have a chance of prices. We are running not one, not two, but three forum contests too (open to both Dii-ers and non-Dii-ers of course):
1) Dii-themed Haiku (Dii wiki)
Winner decided by Dii officer vote (Dii officers are thus not eligble to participate ).
1st price = 2 gold
2nd - 3rd price = 1 gold each
All entries will receive a prize though
2) Guild Wars 1 Super Mega Giveaway!
This special giveaway will work a little differently than your regular lottery. How it will work is that you enter your GW1 character name and a short motivation of why you would like to improve your Hall of Monuments in this thread. If you are missing points for a specific title, please include how many. We will then look up your Hall of Monuments in the online calculator and try to get you something you still need. Hopefully we will be able to get everyone something, but a lucky few will get something really special!
3) Grand Lottery!
Prize: A code for 2000 gems
Post your GW2 gamertag in this thread to enter. Your lottery number will be your entry's order in the thread. One entry per person. The Draw of the lottery will be conducted live during the celebration, in our GW1 GH (/roll *the number of entries*).
Post your entries in this thread (don't forget IGN's/Gamertags!)
deadline is the start of the events, i.e. November 17th 9PM UTC.
(our actual birthday was November 1st, but due to some RL constraints and whatnot, we celebrate on the 17th in stead.)

The California Supreme Court recently decided that so long as its notice of appeal is timely filed, a suspended corporation can still pursue the appeal if it later revives its corporate powers. The case, Bourhis v. Lord, involved a suspended corporation filing notices of appeal. Several months later, the corporation revived its corporate powers. In light of such subsequent revival, the Court of Appeal rejected motions to dismiss the corporation's appeals, and the Supreme Court affirmed. "When that certificate [of revivor] is received, as one court put it, '[t]he legal rights of a suspended corporation are then revived, as an unconscious person is revived by artificial respiration.'" Such revival "made the earlier, invalid but timely, notices of appeal valid and still timely."
If the procedural posture brings to mind audible exclamations of relief, the back-story to this case heightens such emotions. When the Supreme Court heard oral argument by special session in Southern California, the corporation's appellate counsel showed up for oral argument--in San Francisco! Appellate counsel was anything but a neophyte, having argued dozens of appeals before, including many in the high court. When he failed to show, the Court allowed opposing counsel to argue, then declared the case submitted. Court staffers have reported that counsel's no-show is only the second one in institutional memory.
The decision, issued on March 4, was controlled by stare decisis. Justice Joyce L. Kennard concurred and dissented, stating that while precedent dictated the outcome, it was time to abandon that precedent. "[T]hose two decisions were wrong then, are wrong now, and should be overruled." Justice Kennard asserted that in order for notices of appeal to invoke appellate court jurisdiction, such notices must be timely and valid when filed.
As for the corporation's appellate practitioner? Although he had expressed confidence in the result, he must be feeling a little relieved these days. Whew!

|NBA: Minnesota Timberwolves at Memphis Grizzlies Preview, Picks, Odds
|Written by Anthony Rome
|Saturday, 01 December 2007 02:25
Where's The Defense?
The Memphis Grizzlies are struggling on defense, but they're hoping a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves will help.
The Grizzlies will be trying to take advantage of a battered Timberwolves' lineup when the teams meet on Saturday.
Oddsmakers from Bodog have made Memphis -9 point spread favorites (NBA Odds) for today's game, the over/under has been set at 213 total points (Matchup). Our public betting information shows that 51% of bets for this game have been placed on Memphis -9 (View NBA Bet Percentages).
Memphis (5-10) relies on a high-powered offense that is averaging 104.2 points per game. However, defense has been the team's undoing, as the Grizzlies are allowing opponents to shoot 47.8 percent - the worst mark in the NBA.
Memphis has allowed its opponents to score in triple digits in all but three of its 15 games and is coming off Wednesday's 103-91 defeat in Toronto. The Grizzlies have allowed at least 100 points in each of their last four games.
"The whole key is good defense, and we didn't do that very well," Mike Miller said. "They did a good job pushing the tempo."
The Grizzlies, however will be up against a Minnesota team that is averaging just 93.9 points per game and has reached triple digits in just four of its 14 contests.
Memphis has won eight of its last 10 against Minnesota, including five of six at home. The Grizzlies averaged more than 110 points in winning two of three last season.
Minnesota has been hampered by a banged-up backcourt. Randy Foye has been out all season while recovering from a stress reaction in his left kneecap and might be sidelined for another month. Marko Jaric, who has been his replacement, sprained his right foot and left after the first quarter of Friday's 106-91 loss to San Antonio.
Rashad McCants, who ranks second on the team with 14.4 points per game, was a surprise scratch from the game because of a sore right knee. Coach Randy Wittman said McCants showed up before the game and was hurting.
Wittman added that Jaric's injury is "probably not good."
Al Jefferson, who leads the team with 20.9 points and 11.2 rebounds, had 23 points and 11 boards on Friday. Jefferson was coming off a season-best 31-point performance in Wednesday's 109-103 loss in Dallas.
However, the Timberwolves (2-12) allowed the Spurs to finish Friday's game on a 40-11 run.
"It stings. It hurts. It hurts, because we put so much into preparing for the game and going out there and doing all the right things and just not finishing it off," said Sebastian Telfair, who started at point guard and had 17 points.
The Grizzlies will be trying to bounce back from their first loss in three games. Juan Carlos Navarro scored 15 points and Pau Gasol added 13 on Wednesday for Memphis, which had won back-to-back games for the first time this season.
"We wanted to get that momentum going and put a nice winning streak together," Gasol said. "You come here and don't play at the level you are supposed to, it is frustrating.
"We have two home games coming up, and we are expecting to play well and come up with a win."
The Grizzlies are just 3-4 at home this season.

Like the rest of us who live in the Midwest or the East, I only recently discovered that the temperature outside had finally reached a level that didn't require my subzero shoulder hunch whenever leaving the house. No, this isn't a column about winter weather, but it starts that way.
If you've read as much Florida crime fiction as I have, you've learned that snowbirds are usually objects of derision.
Cozy mysteries, with the body well offstage, please myriad readers who enjoy the gentle side of the crime-fiction genre. While there are dozens of popular cozy writers, here are 10 essential authors who, we suggest, represent the best of the best.

How the Navaho came to have horses
posted 6 years ago
We had this book when our children where younger. It teaches about the legend of how horse came to be with the Navaho people. A good way to teach culture in a story book format.
<<A young Navaho girl has a special understanding of horses and flees her village with them during a storm. The storm ends, and she finds herself in a new place with a beautiful spotted stallion. Though eventually reunited with her tribe, she is happy only with the wild horses. She returns for several seasons with a colt for her people but lives on in legend only>>
Pros: Nice illustrations and text
Cons: None.

The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, as Seen Through Tinder
- By Elias GrollElias Groll is an assistant editor at Foreign Policy. A native of Stockholm, Sweden, he received his undergraduate degree from Harvard University, where he was the managing editor of The Harvard Crimson.
- elias.groll
- @eliasgroll
Does love conquer all? That's the question being asked by a group of 20-somethings in the West Bank amid renewed fighting between Israel and Hamas. Using the popular dating apps Tinder and Grindr, they are examining how the conflict is playing out on these online dating services.
The results, which reflect the conflict's deep divisions, and also the mundane reality of dating applications, are documented on the blog Palestinder. Because Israelis use Tinder and Grinder a lot more than Palestinians, the blog provides an unvarnished look at unsavory Israeli opinions of Palestinians more than a view across the divide. Then again, one probably shouldn't expect more from an experiment of this kind.
So it is that we meet a pair of star-crossed lovers:
And this unfortunate person, who equates education with treason:
The conflict, in case you'd forgotten, can get really ugly, really quickly:
I, for one, am still holding out hope for our star-crossed lovers.

The summer months are close and it is already heating up outside. There are ways to stay cool when things get hot. In general, stay in cool places, eat regular light meals, drink plenty of fluids and avoid coffee, tea and alcohol. Also, it is important to recognize the warning signs of heat-related illness and ways to prevent it. According to the Ohio Mental Health & Addiction Services organization, although anyone can be affected by heat-related issues, the elderly, the very young, and individuals with medical problems including those with psychiatric disorders and addictions are especially susceptible.
Some medical conditions and medications can affect body temperature. They can make the body overheat, especially during hot and humid weather. When this happens, heat-related illness can cause death if not treated. Heart disease, high blood pressure, alcohol use, obesity, respiratory disease and diabetes can make heat more dangerous. Many medications, including almost all psychotropic medications, diuretics and water pills, amphetamines and beta-blockers decrease the body's response to heat. Illegal drugs including hallucinogens, cocaine, stimulants, steroids, bath salts and others also decrease the body's response to heat. Alcohol, sedatives and opioids are drugs that decrease awareness of heat-related illness. In other words, they numb the body to temperature changes and you may not know you are in danger.
Heat exhaustion is a mild form of heat-related illness. It can occur while working, playing or resting. Some symptoms include heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, tiredness or fainting, weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea and vomiting. If overcome by heat exhaustion, call a doctor and move to a cooler place, drink water, rest, take a cool shower and loosen clothing.
Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related illness. Body temperature cannot be controlled, so the temperature rises quickly. The body is not able to sweat, and as a result, cannot cool down. Heat stroke symptoms include confusion, unconsciousness, dizziness, nausea, rapid strong pulse, throbbing headache and red, hot, dry skin. If overcome by heat stroke, call 911 and seek treatment right away. Loosen or remove clothing, move to a cooler spot, offer fluids only if he or she can talk, and use water to cool the person.
As the warmer months approach, the temperature rises, and spending more time outdoors is the norm, remember to take care of yourself and your families. Refer to our website at www.pcmhrb.org for more information on heat related illnesses, prevention, and a list of medications that may impair the body's response to heat.

Recall effort bolstered by more accusers
Filner also makes legal maneuvers
Filner did not respond to the recent claims. He has issued two general apologies but denied accusations of sexual harassment.
Tara Jones, head of the national women veterans group, said more women in her organization have contacted her with complaints about Filner, ranging from flirty comments to groping.
"Now that we know, we're going after him," she said. "We're military women. We want him out of there. Period. We're going to do anything we can to get him out of there. It's not about a recall. It's about public safety."
Meanwhile the legal maneuvering continued in the sexual harassment litigation filed by former Filner aide Irene McCormack Jackson.
Filner's deposition, originally set for Friday, has been delayed so he can continue a two-week intensive therapy program uninterrupted. One of Filner's defense attorneys on Tuesday filed a motion to quash the subpoena that required the mayor's presence at the deposition, effectively delaying it.
The treatment program started Monday and is supposed to go through Aug. 16.
A judge will take up the issue next month, on Sept. 16, to determine how the deposition will go forward.
In court documents filed Tuesday, defense attorney Harvey Berger said the City Attorney's Office was refusing to accommodate the mayor's treatment.
"There is no good reason to expedite Mayor Filner's deposition," Berger writes. "The lawsuit was only filed on July 22, 2013."
Berger included a note from a psychologist that states: "Robert Filner is currently under my care in an intensive treatment program and will be unavailable for deposition." The doctor's name is redacted from the note, dated Monday.
Filner's attorneys are also asking that any testimony Filner gives at a deposition not be made public until it is introduced at trial.
The City Attorney's Office requested the deposition as part of their investigation into the allegations. City Attorney Jan Goldsmith is representing the city's interest in the case.
"Obviously, Mr. Filner does not want to testify under penalty of perjury and will use every means to avoid having to do that," Goldsmith said in a statement Wednesday. "He can delay it, but he can't stop it. The first renewed opportunity to take his deposition is September 17 and we have rescheduled his deposition for that date."
In the lawsuit, McCormack Jackson accused her former boss of unwanted sexual advances in the workplace. Since then more than a dozen women have come forward with accusations against Filner, ranging from inappropriate touching and unwanted kisses to awkward inquiries about their relationship status and date requests.
Because of the intense media coverage of the scandal, Filner's attorney has requested that the case be moved to Imperial County, arguing that an impartial trial cannot be had in San Diego. A judge will also take up that issue on Sept. 16.
Attorney Gloria Allred, who is representing McCormack Jackson, said she will fight a change of venue in the case.
"We are confident that an impartial jury can be found in San Diego County," she said in a statement Wednesday. "Mayor Filner is the mayor of the city of San Diego. … We believe that the case should be heard and decided by a jury of Mayor Filner's peers who reside in San Diego."
Judges rarely grant a change of venue.

Why Big Data?
Each industry generates and preserves large amounts of raw data from day-to-day operations. To keep ahead of the competition, many firms convert these large pools of data into useful information, which in turn increases productivity and quality of products and services.
A McKinsey report stated that, "By 2018, the United States alone could face a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 people with deep analytical skills as well as 1.5 million managers and analysts with the know-how to use the analysis of big data to make effective decisions."
The Data Analytics Club's principal objective is to help students to comprehend big data concepts as an essential competitive resource and learn new computational methods through hands-on workshops and informational sessions. Data analytic skills are resourceful to all students in the MA, MBA, and MSF programs.
The Club organizes numerous activities throughout the year that aid students in preparing their data analytic skills.
Activities include:
Workshops: Microsoft Excel (Basic and Advanced), Microstrategy, Tableau, Matlab, STATA, SPSS, R, MS Access.
These provides students with hands-on training on industry tools used in the field of data analytics.
Speaker Sessions:
These informational sessions equip students with trends and concepts from industry experts, professors, alumni and students.
Real-Time Analytics Projects:
These enable students to work on real-time analytics projects from companies in marketing, finance and business development domains and gain industry exposure.
On-Campus Club Events:
These events help students leverage their data analytic skills.
"Data is the new science. Big Data holds the answers."

The whole situation was horrible, we were stuck in the middle of nowhere and the reality is that in the dark we wouldn't have been able to do anything because it would have been far too dangerous but we couldn't even enjoy the sanctuary of our own apartment because it wasn't finished!. Kirsty text Bruce and told him that none of us were happy and we didn't want to stay at the apartments, we wanted to go back ...
First full day in Huai'An

for all her help but as it was getting dark she had to go back home, which was
a shame.
After the amazing street food, we all decided that we wanted
pampering so we all had gel manicures which Ruby told me will help me to grow
my nails, so we will see. Whilst we were in the shop four amazingly cute Chinese

Bruce took us into the school, up two flights of stairs and into the teachers room (like a staff room) – we were met by Ken and Gloria who are our Chinese assistants, basically they are the people that we go to in the school for example if we can't find our rooms (we move around, not the children like ...

So after Lily and Bruce argued about where the car was and walked us around in circles for a while we finally got on our way to Huai'An City which Bruce said was about a ...

Here are the long-awaited pictures of my Chinese wedding.
Thank you to Joy, Kristie, and Stephanie for their efforts in taking these pictures during my big moment.

None of you thought I would actually do it ;)
Enjoy the photos!

Robots 'Evolve' Altruism 360
Posted by samzenpus

sciencehabit writes "Computer simulations of tiny robots with rudimentary nervous systems show that, over hundreds of generations, these virtual machines evolve altruistic behaviors. They begin to share small disks — a stand-in for food — with each other so that their comrades' traits are passed on to the next generation. Experts say the study sheds light on why various animals — from bees to humans — help each other out, even when it hurts their own chances to reproduce."

If you've been watching True Blood, you know that this past episode featured yet another Lizzy Caplan nude sex scene. This one was particularly trippy, and showed the most we've seen of Lizzy Caplan naked yet. In fact, there is a very brief frame of somewhat blurry full frontal nudity from Lizzy, and in case you were wondering, it appears that she shaves… Yeah, this is definitely the best show of the year.
Lots more HD screen caps of Lizzy Caplan naked after the jump.

With ticket sales for his Australian concerts going down the tubes, Justin Bieber decided to party away the pain, kicking off a three-day nightclub bender just hours after his arrival in the eastern Australian city of Brisbane.
Just hours after his arrival on Sunday night, Bieber headed straight to Sin City nightclub, where he was spotted partying it up in sunglasses and no shirt.
While there, RadarOnline.com has learned, Bieber's every need was overseen by VIP host Charlie Embley who excitedly posted on Facebook, "Partied with Justin Bieber at Sin City The Nightclub Gold Coast, then at his private after party until early hours of the morning! … Watch out he's in party mode until his concert this Wednesday!"
PHOTOS: Justin Bieber Visits Brothel In Rio
Indeed, the very next night Bieber was back at it, hosting a private party at a penthouse on Surfers Paradise beach. Rumored to have taken place in the Moroccan complex, the party featured "dozens of scantily clad women," "loud music and strobe lights," and "multiple guards at the entrance to the resort and floor," according to the Herald Sun. Other eyewitnesses claimed that staff from the nearby Vanity nightclub were spotted ferrying carts of liquor bottles up to the party.
As at other Bieber bashes, photos were a strict no-no. "He's really anti-photo," party guest Kirra Longmuir posted on Facebook, promising friends, "but I'll try to ask him later."
Longmuir promised friends she'd try to take him out on the town, and sure enough, Bieber was spotted partying at Vanity nightclub as his own bash continued to rage in the penthouse.

Perhaps because of his loud Monday night bash, Bieber reportedly transferred to the QT Hotel on Tuesday, the day of his first Brisbane concert.

As of Friday, December 28, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
ATLANTA — A woman stabbed to death in her suburban Atlanta home had pleaded with a judge not to release her ex-husband from jail, saying she feared she would not survive if he was free.
The ex-husband, 58-year-old John Stephen Kristofak, was apprehended Thursday at a Union City motel and charged with murder in the death of his 48-year-old ex-wife, Donna Nations Kristofak.
In October, Donna Kristofak begged Cobb County Superior Court Judge Adele Grubbs not to release him from jail, saying she feared for her life and worried that a court order of protection from her ex-husband would not keep her safe. He was later released.
The judge said she couldn't comment on the case, but said that "you cannot predict human behavior."
The judge said that people asked a similar question after 20 children and six adults were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Conn.
"After Newtown people ask, 'How can we stop someone before they do something?,'" Grubbs said. "We don't do that."

Superior Court Judge Adele Grubbs must have gotten a little pay under the table to release this nut case. Quote: " but said that "you cannot predict human behavior." Yes, that is true but you can keep such a person in jail. That was your stupid choice and now you have a murder that you may have caused on your record. Remember this come next election. This is just another example of why the second amended should be considered by all legal citizens; own a gun(s) to protect yourself.

It is difficult to imagine what life must be like for Tiger Woods off the golf course -- both pre- and post-scandal -- but you can almost picture the following scene.
Woods is spending a little quality single-dad time at home with his two children. They ask him to read a story and so the man sometimes referred to informally as the "Cat in the Hat" saunters over to the bookshelf and pulls the first Dr. Seuss tome within arm's reach. He begins reading aloud, getting through a few pages until being overcome by an apparitional feeling.
The book is about ... him.
It isn't, of course, but "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" -- first published in 1990, when Woods was 14 years old -- draws some eerie yet intriguing parallels to his tale. Described by one reviewer as "a guidebook to the journey of life," the author's final project prior to his death is often handed out to recent college graduates as they enter the "real world."
On the one year anniversary of a single-car accident in front of his home that led to shocking public embarrassment, this book could also help to initiate introspection from the former No. 1-ranked golfer.
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
Off to a good start, huh? From the time Woods turned professional in mid-1996, he owned an innate ability to not only dominate golf tournaments, but dominate with flair. He became the next generation's answer to Michael Jordan -- a face so globally recognizable that it transcended his sport itself -- along the way compiling 14 major championship victories and a reported billion dollars in total income. Never was the reason for those accolades summarized better than by Seuss.
You'll be on your way up!
You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.
You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed. You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you'll be best of the best. Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.
Except when you don't.
Because, sometimes, you won't.
That "sometimes" lasted for the entire 2010 season. Following the scandal, Woods returned to compete in a dozen official PGA Tour events, never finishing better than in a share of fourth place. The best of the best appeared, well, just like the rest, looking extraordinarily ordinary throughout the year.
I'm sorry to say so but, sadly, it's true that Bang-ups and Hang-ups can happen to you.
You can get all hung up in a prickle-ly perch. And your gang will fly on. You'll be left in a Lurch.
You'll come down from the Lurch with an unpleasant bump. And the chances are, then, that you'll be in a Slump.
And when you're in a Slump, you're not in for much fun. Un-slumping yourself is not easily done.
You will come to a place where the streets are not marked. Some windows are lighted. But mostly they're darked. A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin! Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in? How much can you lose? How much can you win?
Even if Woods had returned to the winner's circle in 2010, he would have lost more than he won. Multiple sponsors jumped ship in the days after this scandal broke and his legions of admirers were whittled down to a minority. For perhaps the first time in his career, an on-course Slump -- capital "S" courtesy of Seuss -- was hardly the worst thing taking place in his life.
Oh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done! There are points to be scored. There are games to be won.
And the magical things you can do with that ball will make you the winning-est winner of all. Fame! You'll be famous as famous can be, with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.
Except when they don't. Because, sometimes, they won't.
Spooky, huh? The good doctor continues ...
I'm afraid that some times you'll play lonely games too. Games you can't win 'cause you'll play against you.
All Alone!
Whether you like it or not, Alone will be something you'll be quite a lot.
And when you're alone, there's a very good chance you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants. There are some, down the road between hither and yon, that can scare you so much you won't want to go on.
Tiger might not have been "scared out of his pants," but in a year that saw his highly publicized divorce from wife Elin, he was rarely seen in public away from the golf course, his gleaming smile often a thing of the past. For a guy who owns a yacht named "Privacy," he likely found out there's a big difference between that notion and -- as the author calls it -- "All Alone."
You'll get mixed up, of course, as you already know. You'll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go. So be sure when you step. Step with care and great tact and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left.
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and ¾ percent guaranteed.)
Even for a guy who has triumphed in more than one-quarter of his tournament starts, that percentage is asking a bit too much. The message remains, though. Woods struggled with the "Great Balancing Act" during this past season, but it would be too flippant to suggest he won't again find success on the course.
You're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So...get on your way!
Woods' personal mountain has always been Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 career major championship titles. As he continues to climb that mountain, he would be well served to consult Dr. Seuss' lessons from this guidebook on that journey.
Where will he wind up? That remains to be seen, but one year after egregious errors in judgment turned his life upside-down, Woods could do himself a favor by pulling this unlikely source of inspiration from the bookshelf and examining its overall message.
And if he emulates the book's final missive? Oh, the places he'll go!
