The invention of the parent patent application was made with Government support under grant N00014-90-J-1455 awarded by the Office of Naval Research and Grant No. DIR-8920053 awarded by the National Science Foundation. The Government may have certain rights in this invention.
This is a divisional of patent application Ser. No. 08/403,238, filed Mar. 10, 1995, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,513,518 which is a continuation in part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/246,035 filed May 19, 1994, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,515,719, in the name of Stuart M. Lindsay and assigned to the assignee of this application. The disclosure of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/246,035, entitled "Controlled Force Microscope for Operation in Liquids" is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the use of-a magnetic field as a means of applying a time-varying force to a force-sensing cantilever in an atomic force microscope in order to enhance the imaging sensitivity of the microscope through a scheme of synchronous detection of the corresponding modulation in the cantilever deflection signal. The cantilever may be coated with a magnetic material in which case the force may be applied either as a result of the torque induced by a magnetic field on a permanently magnetized cantilever or as the result of the force on a permanent or induced magnetic moment that arises from gradients in the applied field.
2. The Prior Art
The atomic force microscope works by scanning a force-sensing probe over a surface and in close proximity to it. Small deflections of the probe are sensed and used to maintain a constant interaction force (i.e., constant height of the probe above the surface). By recording the adjustments needed to maintain the interactions constant, a topographical map of surface features may be made [Binnig, G., et al., Atomic Force Microscope, Physical Review Letters 56(9), pp. 930-933 (1986)].
An improvement results if the position of the force-sensing probe is modulated (at a frequency, f) and the corresponding ac signal detected. This is because (a) this can result in reduced bandwidth (and hence reduced noise) if synchronous (i.e., lock-in) detection is used and (b) the amplitude of the ac signal is a measure of the derivative of the interaction force versus distance. This quantity changes much more rapidly than the interaction force itself. It is positive in the region where interaction forces are attractive (usually at large distances) and negative where interaction forces are repulsive (at short distances, i.e., in contact). Such a scheme has been described for non-contact AFM operation in air by Martin et al. [Martin, Y., et al., Atomic force microscope-force mapping and profiling on a sub 100 angstrom scale, Journal of Applied Physics 61(10), pp. 4723-4729 (1987)].
It has generally been believed that such operation in fluid would not be possible because of hydrodynamic damping of the cantilever. However, two groups have recently demonstrated that sensitive ac detection of the force gradient is possible in fluids. In one case, this is done by modulating the position of the whole sample cell [Hansma, P. K., et ai., Tapping mode atomic force microscopy in liquids, Applied Physics Letters 64, pp. 1738-1740 (1994)]. This is illustrated in FIG. 1. A laser beam 10 is reflected off a force-sensing cantilever 12 deflections of which are detected by a position sensitive detector 14. The cantilever is scanned over the sample surface 16 by a piezoelectric transducer 18. The force-sensing cantilever is immersed in a fluid body 20 contained in a fluid cell 22. The fluid cell 22 is mounted on a second transducer 24 which can displace the fluid cell 22 and sample surface 16 relative to the scanning transducer 18. An ac signal 26 is applied to the second transducer 24 so as to modulate the gap 28 between the force sensing probe tip 30 on cantilever 12 and the sample surface 16. The corresponding modulation of the laser beam position is detected by the detector 14. A synchronous detector 32 determines the amplitude and phase of the modulation. These signals are used to set the operating point of the microscope. For example, in the repulsive (contact) region of interaction between the atoms on the tip and the atoms on the sample surface, the tip deflection is in phase with the modulation and the amplitude decreased by closer contact with the surface. Thus, the height of the tip is adjusted so as to give a constant, in phase, reduction of the modulation signal as the tip is scanned over the surface. A plot of these adjustments as a function of the position of the tip in the plane of the surface constitutes a topographical height map of the surface taken at constant interaction-force-gradient.
A second group [Putnam, C. A. J., et al., Viscoelasticity of living cells allows high resolution imaging by tapping mode atomic force microscopy, Applied Physics Letters, submitted (1995)] have shown that similar results may be obtained by applying the modulation signal to the scanning transducer. This is illustrated in FIG. 2. The components are the same as those shown in FIG. 1, with the exception of the second transducer 24 which is omitted in this case. The gap 28 is modulated directly by a signal 26 applied to the scanning transducer 18.
Both of these approaches suffer from several drawbacks. The frequency of modulation is limited by the low-resonant frequency of the parts that are being displaced. In one case (FIG. 1) this is the whole sample cell. In the other case (FIG. 2) it is the whole scanning assembly. Furthermore, these complex assemblies have many resonances, not all of which cause the tip to be displaced with respect to the surface. Furthermore, these schemes make use of piezoelectric transducers which require high voltages for their operation, a requirement that imposes constraints when the microscope is operated in conducting liquids.
An alternative method of modulating the gap has been proposed by Lindsay in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/246,035 (incorporated herein by reference) and others [O'Shea, S. J., et al., Atomic force microscopy of local compliance at solid-liquid interfaces, Chemical Physics Letters, submitted (1995)]. In this approach, a magnetic particle or coating is applied to the force sensing cantilever and an external magnetic field is used to apply a force to the cantilever. This approach works in different ways, depending upon the direction of magnetization of the particle or film. O'Shea, et al. do not describe a method for controlling the direction of the magnetization of the film on the cantilever. Neither do they describe a method for producing force-gradient images by using this technique to modulate the gap between the tip and sample. Lindsay has described a reproducible method for applying a force to a cantilever using an external magnetic field and also a method for forming images by modulating the position of the cantilever with this technique. However, the magnetic arrangement described by Lindsay requires either a large magnetic moment on the tip or a large field gradient.
Two approaches to applying a magnetic force are illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 shows the arrangement described in Lindsay. A magnetic particle or film 33 is magnetized so that the resulting moment, M (34) lies perpendicular to the soft axis of the cantilever 36. Then a magnetic field gradient 38 is applied in the same direction as M (34). The result is a force that is normal to the soft axis of the cantilever. A second arrangement is shown in FIG. 4. Here, a film, or particle 39 attached to the cantilever is magnetized with a moment M(40) along the soft axis of the cantilever 42. A magnetic field B (44) is applied normal to the soft axis of the cantilever. This results in a torque N=M�B. Thus, with a cantilever of length R, a force F of magnitude F=|N|/R is applied to the end of the tip perpendicular to the soft axis of the cantilever. This latter method is to be preferred. This is because it is generally easier to obtain a high value of magnetic field than a high value of magnetic field gradient.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a microscope in which ac modulation of the gap is obtained by movement of only the force sensing cantilever, so that the modulation may be applied at a high frequency, avoiding spurious resonances.
Another object of the present invention is to use a method of modulation that is consistent with operation in fluids.
Yet another object of the present invention is to produce force-sensing cantilevers that are consistently magnetized with a moment along the soft axis of the cantilever.
These and many other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art from a consideration of the drawings and ensuing description of the invention.
The forgoing objects have been achieved in the scanning force microscope of the present invention. A thin film of a magnetic material is applied to one or both surfaces of a force sensing cantilever. The cantilevers are then placed between the poles of an electromagnet and a magnetizing field applied in the direction of the soft axis of the cantilevers. The field is chosen so as to be bigger than the saturation field for the magnetic film. A small electromagnet is placed in the housing of the microscope so as to generate a field normal to the soft axis of the cantilever. The field is generated by an ac voltage and causes a time varying force to be applied to the cantilever. The corresponding modulation of the cantilever position is sensed by reflection of a laser beam into a position sensitive detector. The magnitude and phase of this signal are determined by a synchronous detector. Images of the sample surface are made at constant force gradient by scanning the cantilever over the surface while adjusting the gap between the probe and sample so as to maintain a constant output from the synchronous detector.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of one prior art scheme for modulating the tip to substrate gap in force microscopy in fluids where the whole sample is moved up and down relative to the probe scanner.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of another prior art scheme where the modulating signal is applied directly to the probe scanner,
FIG. 3 is a diagram of a prior art scheme for placing a magnetic force on a force-sensing cantilever.
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the arrangement used in the present invention: a field normal to the magnetic moment of the cantilever exerts a torque on the cantilever.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating the overall layout of an ac magnetically modulated force sensing microscope constructed according to a presently preferred embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating the scheme used in the present invention for magnetizing the cantilevers and for calibrating the magnetization.
FIG. 7 is a graphical plot illustrating a typical hysteresis loop for a magnetic thin film.
Those of ordinary skill in the art will realize that the following description of the present invention is illustrative only and is not intended to be in any way limiting. Other embodiments of the invention will readily suggest themselves to such skilled persons from an examination of the within disclosure.
An overall layout of the scanning force microscope according to a presently preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 5. A thin film or particles of magnetic material 46 is applied to the back of a force-sensing cantilever 48 with the direction of the magnetic moment M along the soft axis of the cantilever 48. The cantilever 48 is attached to a scanning transducer 50 which holds it above the surface 52 of a sample 54 which may be submerged in a fluid body 56. A laser beam 58 is reflected from the back of the cantilever 48 into a position-sensitive detector 60 so that deflections of the cantilever 48 may be detected and recorded. A small solenoid 62 is placed near cantilever 48 so as to generate a magnetic field B that is predominantly perpendicular to the soft axis of cantilever 48. For the purpose of modulating the position of the tip 64 of cantilever 48 with respect to the sample surface 52, an alternating current (ac) voltage source 66 is used to drive the solenoid 62. The corresponding modulation level is detected by a synchronous detector 68 which is also driven with the ac signal 66 as a reference.
The ac signal is preferably a sine wave. It is higher in frequency than the highest frequency associated with scanning a pixel, but generally equal to (or less than) the resonant frequency of the force sensing cantilever (which is typically about 50 kHz).
The synchronous detector averages that part of the input signal bearing a constant phase to the reference signal. If the input signal is S(t) and the reference signal (the signal that did the modulation) is A cos(ωt), then the synchronous detector forms the averaged product: ##EQU1## where φ is a fixed phase shift (which can be set electronically to cancel systematic unwanted phase shifts or to detect the quadrature component of the signal) and τ is a time constant for integration of the signal. This time constant is set equal to about the time taken to scan one pixel in the final image. In this way, the averaging does not loose resolution. The modulation period (2π/ω) must be less than the integration time in order for averaging to occur.
In operation, the microscope height (z height) is controlled by a feedback control loop as is well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. The output of the feedback control loop acts to adjust the output of the synchronous detector so that it remains constant while the z height is adjusted to achieve this. The topographical output of the microscope is the map of adjustments to the z height.
Construction of a suitable solenoid and choices of magnetic materials are described in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/246,035 which is incorporated by reference. According to a presently preferred embodiment of the present invention, the solenoid is made from several hundred turns of pile-wound wire 70 on a Permendur core 72 (available from Eagle Alloys of Jefferson City, Tenn.). This produces a field of about 100 Gauss at a distance of about 3 mm from the pole piece when a current of 500 mA is passed through the coil. Other mechanisms and variants for delivering this magnetic field could also be used as would be known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
An important step in the preparation of the cantilevers 48 is the formation of a controlled magnetic moment. One method for doing this is to place the cantilever in a strong magnetizing field. According to a presently preferred embodiment of the present invention, a film of Cobalt of about 500 angstroms thickness is evaporated onto the cantilever surface. Films of this thickness and composition are relatively easy to magnetize in the plane of the film. The magnetization can be monitored by simultaneous preparation of a film on a test substrate such as a wafer of silicon. This process is illustrated in FIG. 6. The cantilever 74 is coated with a magnetic film 76 and is placed between the pole pieces of an electromagnet 78, 80 with its soft axis lying along the field direction. Magnetization of the thin film 76 can be monitored using a separate test specimen or calibration object, consisting of a silicon wafer 82 coated with an identical thin magnetic film 84. A laser beam 86 from an ellipsometer 88 is used to measure the local magnetization using rotation of the polarization of the incident light 86. The magnetic field is swept as the magnetization of the film is recorded. A typical magnetization curve for such a thin film is shown in FIG. 7. It shows the characteristic hysteresis loop due to the permanent magnetization of the sample at a saturation magnetization Ms which occurs at a saturating field Hs.
A typical value for Ms is 1,400 emu/cm3 and a typical value for Hs is 400 Gauss. A force sensing cantilever has typical dimensions of 100 μm by 100 μm. Covered with a 500 Å thickness of cobalt film, this gives a volume of 5�10-10 cm3 of magnetic material. When magnetized to saturation, this yields a moment of 7�10-10 emu. In a field of 100 Gauss normal to the magnetic moment, this results in a torque of 7�10-5 dyne-cm. Thus, at the end of a 100 μm cantilever, the force is 7�10-3 dyne or 7�10-8 N. Thus, for a force-sensing cantilever with a spring constant of 0.1N/m, a reasonable magnetic field can move the tip by up to 100 nm.
Thus, the degree of control is adequate not only for applying modulation to the cantilever (where displacements of 0.01 nm are adequate) but also for controlling instabilities in the cantilever position caused by attractive forces which pull the cantilever into the surface. This is described more fully in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/246,035.
While illustrative embodiments and applications of this invention have been shown and described, it would be apparent to those skilled in the art that many more modifications than have been mentioned above are possible without departing from the inventive concepts set forth herein. The invention, therefore, is not to be limited except in the spirit of the appended claims.

In 2012 the New Hampshire legislature overrode Democrat Gov. Lynch's veto and passed the Opportunity Scholarship Act, a law intended to give the children from poor and medium income families the opportunity to get the same educational opportunities that the children of Gov. Lynch and so many of his well-heeled political and union boss friends enjoy. This pro-educational choice law allows businesses to give a very limited amount of their pretax dollars to private charities set up to give all but a small percentage of the funds they receive to educate children from families earning no more than 300% of the federal poverty line.
Ever since this law came into effect, vested educational industry interests, led by those who do not have to send their children to failing schools, have tried to reverse Gov. Lynch's failed gubernatorial veto with a judicial veto. They forum-shopped for a favorable judge. They had that judge issue a decision limiting the law based on premise that would make any liberal smile: he said, in effect, that all your money first belongs to the government, so if government leaves some to you after taxes with the knowledge that you might spend it on a religious-based education, then government is supporting religion.
This trial court decision has now been subject to review in the New Hampshire Supreme Court and fortunately, it was reversed. The decision found the plaintiffs lack standing to be in court challenging this law. As a consequent, the Supreme Court overturned this clearly erroneous decision.
The Supreme Court today rejected the trial court's decision that in effect would have told the NH Legislature to be hostile and not neutral toward religions. Our state constitution does not lay the foundation for such a radical and harmful government.
New Hampshire scholarship students will be able to attend the schools of their choice. They and their parents will decide and if their decisions are for religious schools or secular schools, it will be up to them and not up to vested education industry interests trying to corral all students into failed government schools.
Decades of union and liberal tinkering and reforms have tainted the splendor of what was a public education system that was the envy of the world. We must do better for our children. We must expand the education choices available to all families, even those not as rich as the present and past New Hampshire governors opposing educational choice and the lead plaintiff in the Duncan case. The journey to a better education for our children must and will continue.
Manchester, NH – After the New Hampshire Supreme Court decided earlier today not to rule on the constitutionality of the reckless and irresponsible education voucher law, New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley issued the following statement:
"It is disappointing that the New Hampshire Supreme Court refused to rule on the reckless, fiscally irresponsible and unconstitutional education voucher law that could dismantle New Hampshire public schools.
"Already, two lower courts have found the law to be in violation of the state's constitution.
"This disastrous education voucher law funnels public funding to unaccountable out of state right-wing groups bent on destroying our public education system and hampers our state's ability to provide Granite State students the education they deserve.
"The education voucher law also irresponsibly shifts burdensome costs to local communities and forces property tax payers to foot the bill.
"Republicans like Walt Havenstein and Andrew Hemingway who support this misguided and right-wing education voucher law will have to answer to Granite State voters why they want to raise their property taxes and undermine their public education."
Tax credits for scholarships going to low-income NH families
Concord, NH – Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro) and Senator Sharon Carson (R-Londonderry) today applauded the New Hampshire Supreme Court decision to dismiss a lawsuit against New Hampshire's School Choice Scholarship Program.
"School choice scholarships give low-income families more flexibility to find the best educational options for their children. Public schools in New Hampshire do a great job of meeting the educational needs of most students. But as a parent I know that some children need more choices for their education, which is why I have long supported charter schools, homeschooling, choice in which public school to attend as well as tax credit scholarships for low income students," Bradley said "I'm pleased that New Hampshire's School Choice Scholarship Program will be allowed to continue."
"This is a great day for school choice, and for all parents looking to provide their children with the best education possible," Carson said. "School choice is a proven tool to increase educational quality."
Bradley and Carson were co-sponsors of SB 372, a 2012 bill which established education tax credits to fund school choice scholarships for low-income families.
For immediate release
August 28, 2014
The New Hampshire Supreme Court today left the education tax credit law in place, in the case of Duncan et al. v. State of New Hampshire et al. Cornerstone's Executive Director Bryan McCormack had this to say about the decision.
"Every New Hampshire child has won today. In upholding the Education Tax Credit law, the New Hampshire Supreme Court has said 'yes' to a constructive partnership among families, innovative educators, and business owners who know that today's K-12 students are tomorrow's New Hampshire leaders. We have thought from the very beginning that this litigation was ill-advised. More businesses will now have the confidence to donate to a nonprofit scholarship organization, knowing that a tax credit is available. Today, New Hampshire's children from low- and middle-income families know that their education is no longer limited to a one-size-fits-all system. That's good news for New Hampshire."

Kentucky's Noel out for season with torn ACL
Now, the Wildcats have to rework the rotation without their biggest star. Kentucky's tallest player besides Cauley-Stein is 6-10 sophomore Kyle Wiltjer, whose game had recently blossomed along with Noel's.
Former Wildcats center Sam Bowie believes the injury might initially affect the team's psyche, especially with so many young players.
"His teammates will start to second-guess themselves, and that's just human nature," Bowie said. "You always say, `We'll regroup; people have to step up and take their games to another level,' and that's been the politically correct thing to say, but realistically speaking it will affect the team mentally."
Considered the nation's top recruit last season, Noel led a four-man freshman class also including Archie Goodwin and Alex Poythress that was expected to pick up where last year's championship team left off. Noel has often been compared to national player of the year Anthony Davis because of his size and shot-blocking ability.
While Noel downplayed the comparison, he made clear his pursuit of breaking Davis' single-season school record of 186 blocks set last year. A Kentucky-record 12 blocks during an 87-74 victory at Mississippi on Jan. 29 put him slightly ahead of Davis' pace, which was set over 40 games.
More importantly, Kentucky's victory over the then-No. 16 Rebels helped re-establish its credentials as an NCAA tournament team. Their first win over a ranked opponent was part of a season-best five-game winning streak that helped put the Wildcats back in the Top 25 on Monday for the first time since falling out Dec. 3 following consecutive losses to Notre Dame and Baylor.
Tuesday's game against Florida was supposed to be another big test, but Kentucky trailed by as many as 19 points before Noel's injury. The Wildcats seemed even more shaken afterward, and their winning streak vanished.
Kentucky visits Tennessee on Saturday before returning home Wednesday against Vanderbilt, providing the Wildcats chances to sweep season series against both schools and stay in the SEC race.
Bowie believes Calipari is capable of motivating the Wildcats to overcome Noel's absence, band together as a team and return to the postseason - suggesting that urgency sometimes brings out the best performances.
"I still feel like they'll make the tournament," Bowie said, "but whether they have a legitimate chance of making a serious run, that will be determined. With Cal as coach, and I think they have plenty of personnel, they have a chance to be one of the 65 teams invited to the tournament."

We asked: What ticket price would ensure your return?
LINCOLN ALABASTER TV executive [Manhattan]
IAN INGRAM Sales [Bronx]
ORRIN INGRAM Fitness instructor [Bronx]
IA: I think $20 is fine. It's 20 bucks; it's a museum. You should have to pay to help support a museum.
OI: The price of a movie is almost $11 in the city; $10 more for artwork from all around the world. I think that's fair.
LA: They put a lot into the renovation in order to improve what was offered. So, from a business perspective, you have to make that money back. Just from seeing what they have here, $20 isn't unreasonable.
OI: Also, this is the Museum of Modern Art. It's not classical art, which already has a different value inherent to the pieces because they're already known. A lot of these pieces are fairly new, so it takes input from patrons, and there have to be ways to keep it afloat.
THERESA LUEN Journalist, historian [Manhattan]
I think that it is very expensive, and also the food is very expensive. And the museum is very big. It's too big. Sometime, in the future, maybe I will feel comfortable, but I didn't feel comfortable today, because it's so big and there are few seats around. The museum is fabulous.
HANNAH RAPPLEY Student [Manhattan]
SAMUEL VELASQUEZ Student [Westchester]
HR: Like, I thought it was $20 when he invited me, and I said, "I don't know, I can't pay $20." Then he said, "I'll pay for half of it," so I thought, Cool, I'll go. But it was free when we got here
SV: I'm from a state school, so my admission is free; so I thought, "I'll pay half for her," because I felt bad.
HR: but since I go to the New School, I ended up getting in for free too! I see the purpose of having it set at $20, but I feel that the museum should be for the people, and not everyone can afford $20 to go see their favorite artist's work.
SARA MODEN-ALLISTON AND MICHAEL ALLISTON ministers [Westchester]
SMA: We're members. There are four of us, so it's well worth it. Coming two times (at $20 per person) pays for the family membership ($150).
MA: $20 admission is not too high for what they have, though it obviously cuts a lot of people out of the opportunity of being able to come. But it certainly makes the membership a more attractive possibility.
SMA: It would be nice if there could be some organization or corporate sponsorship for people who couldn't afford the $20. It is just delightful to see so much space and so much potential for the growth of modern art.
FILIP NOTERDAEME Director, the Homeless Museum/HoMu [Brooklyn Heights]
Today I carried out the civil action "Penniless at the Modern," by paying the $20 fee entirely in pennies. By replacing a crisp bill with 12 and a half pounds of pennies, I hope to remind the Modern that its $20 ticket weighs heavily on the audience the museum promises to serve. I am hopeful that the Modern will eventually come up with a compromise, such as extending its free hours to one whole day.

The support roller broke and that made the noise as the rubber came off the wheel. It took about 8 months before the belt finally broke. Since I had it apart I decided to change both the drum felt seals and idler pulley wheel. I had trouble finding high temperature adhesive for the drum felt seal. Lowe's and Home depot didn't have anything that indicated it would take the heat. Finally located an adhesive at a craft store and the label claimed it was good on washers and dryers. Although I was able to glue and stretch the felt onto the dryer by myself if you have two people it will be alot easier. My dryer had made so much noise for so long I couldn't believe how quiet it is now.

In a barbaric incident, a visually-challenged principal of a private school for blind allegedly beat up three visually-challenged boys in Kakinada town of Andhra Pradesh, district officials said today.
The incident, which took place two days back, came to light today after local TV channels showed a video footage of the incident in which the principal was purportedly shown "mercilessly" beating up the boys with a stick, they said. The footage also showed the principal pushing one of the boys to the wall and was seen assisted by another person in the act.
The school principal, identified as Srinivas, and another person, school's secretary K V Rao who assisted in the act, have been arrested based on the complaints by the parents of the students, East Godavari District Collector Neetu Kumar Prasad told PTI over phone. The district administration has taken over the private school to run it as of now, she said.
Taking note of the incident, the Collector, who along with senior officers visited the school, ordered an inquiry into the incident and the teshildar concerned has been asked to carry out a detailed inquiry and submit a report.
"Once the report is submitted we will take necessary action against those involved in the incident," Kakinada Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO) B R Ambedkar.
According to preliminary information, the principal resorted to beating up the students for their "indiscipline" as they played outside the school premises, the RDO said, adding that an inquiry was on.

The best multihacks for H1Z1 – Aimbot & Other features
This kind of programs are emerging and the devs are trying to fight fire with fire banning thousands of players accused of using hacks and other cheating tools to exploit the game. Even though the game seems to be less tainted now with the latest purges its obvious that some hacking programs are not being detected by the anti-cheating measures currently being used by the game engine. Sony Online Entertainment has expressed itself once more to the early access release of H1Z1. Until then, it applies to reach probably several milestones. There are also details on the PS4-version.
Actually, Sony Online Entertainment had planned the publication of his online-zombie survival title H1Z1 a few weeks ago. After some more silent moves it was decided however then to finish only a few important development steps, before the public will have access to the game world. There's a new release date so far.
Like the senior game designer Jimmy Whisenhunt now know leaving compared to joystiq.com, he would publish the game prefer already next week. But even if H1Z1 and perhaps already awake seem of a quite playable title outward, there are currently some technical problems:
» I would like publish it next week. The thing about the early access is however, that the community take a look at a few streams and then says: really cool looks ›recipe. It seems to be playable. Please it published ‹ but our reservations are not aimed against the visible things. We must ensure that our server not… Look, we know that we will have problems in the first week of early access.»
The H1Z1 Multihacks are already a reality – PS4 & PC versions
You wanted make sure therefore once such issues directly to have the correct answer, so Wisenhunt next.
And also to the already confirmed version of H1Z1 for the PlayStation 4 Wisenhunt said. She will give it only when running the PC version without any problems, so the game designer. Currently, there are therefore still no playable PS4 version of survival title. Also, it is unlikely that you will operate both offshoot in the same network – a cross-play functionality will not be so well. It's quite simple to find some real multihacks to cheat the system and improve your surviveability.
The editorial was disillusioned with the launch of Sony's "DayZ"-Gegenangriff "H1Z1″: even for early access conditions was tremendously high error rate when it comes to game design. The artificial intelligence of the zombies was lousy, bugs such as floating undead were unpleasant, weapons in paid airdrops smelled "Pay to Win" and in the boxes, they found no loot.

Ugly Americans in Paris
The conventional wisdom at this year's Paris Air Show was that Donald Rumsfeld's temper tantrum and Russia's shaky financial status were going to take all the fun out of the world's largest arms bazaar and aerospace exhibition, held each June at historic Le Bourget airport in Paris's gritty northern industrial suburbs.
Since Rumsfeld had refused to send US combat aircraft to Paris to "punish" the French for not supporting Washington in Gulf War II, and Moscow was afraid to send fighter planes for fear that a Swiss creditor might confiscate them, commentators were droning on about how the "firepower" would be missing from Le Bourget this year--or "US Drizzles Over Paris Salon's Sizzle," as Aviation International News put it in a front-page headline.
While the journalists were preparing for gloom and doom, someone apparently forget to tell the scores of nations, hundreds of exhibitors and hundreds of thousands of members of the general public who came to the show to follow suit. Under unseasonably warm 80-degree skies, against a backdrop of puffy clouds punctuated by the occasional quick thunderstorm, tens of thousands watched French pilots dominate the air over Le Bourget at a show whose theme seemed to be "we can do business just fine without America, thank you very much."
This point was underscored by the largest deal announced at the show, a blockbuster purchase by UAE airlines of twenty-one massive Airbus 380A airliners--one of the most lucrative single airline deals ever made. The United States may have won the war for regime change in Iraq, but US companies are in danger of losing the peace, in large part due to backlash against the Rumsfeld/Perle/Wolfowitz brand of Ugly Americanism.
Even before Paris, there were signs afoot that the Bush policy of talking loudly and carrying a big stick is not good for business. Jane's Defence Weekly reported that the partners in the first major European-wide military transport plane, the A-400M, opted at the last minute to switch the engine from the Canadian subsidiary of US-based Pratt and Whitney to an all-European consortium because it was the only way to get the project cleared by the German Parliament. And the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), the trade group that represents Lockheed Martin, Boeing and all the big US military/aerospace companies, took great pains to point out in its monthly newsletter that the leading importer of US aerospace goods in recent years has been none other than Donald Rumsfeld's favorite foil: France.
Given this turbulent background, the aerospace companies came to Paris in the unaccustomed role of peacemakers, trying to patch up the divisions created by the unilateralist rhetoric of the Bush Administration. Prior to the show, AIA President and CEO John Douglass spoke of the need for US CEOs to sit down with their European counterparts to talk about "what's in the interests of our companies, quite apart from the interests of our countries." Far from being stereotypical merchants of death trying to stir up trouble so they can profit from the ensuing tensions, the aerospace companies seemed to be the ones working at diplomacy. After all, every time Rumsfeld insults another country, there's a danger that its national airline might decide to choose Airbus over Boeing just to stick it to the Americans.
Following up on the theme of transatlantic reconciliation begun by the industry's top trade association, Lockheed Martin vice president Bob Trice threw a big dinner at the Ritz in Paris at which he gave a speech on the theme of "transatlantic partnership." While his call to put aside the differences that had divided the US and European governments during the Gulf War struck an appropriately conciliatory note, the main thrust of his speech was that he would stand with his brothers in the European military industry in the struggle to convince their governments to spend more on their military forces, so that they would be more fitting partners for the United States in future joint operations.
Leaving the nature of the products aside, imagine, if you will, the uproar in Washington if a French merchant of death rented out a hotel ballroom in Washington and put on a big spread to give a speech to say that he stood with his brothers at Boeing and Lockheed Martin, ready to influence the US government to spend more on the military! He would be run out of town on the next Concorde, if the Concorde wasn't in the process of being retired from service and made into a museum piece at Le Bourget.
The head of the US Chamber of Commerce also put in a call to his industrial brethren in Europe at around the same time as the air show, with his own conciliatory note. Again, he stressed that the political divisions of Gulf War II should be put to the side. Again, he suggested unifying toward a greater goal, in this case reviving the global economy. And again, like his counterpart at Lockheed Martin, he placed his foot squarely in his mouth the minute he got down to specifics as he hectored the Europeans about how they needed to deregulate, cut taxes and basically be more like Americans in every way, every day.
The arrogance of US political and business leaders extended to the tarmac and the suites of the air show as well, where US companies had the most ambitious, world-encompassing slogans.
Northrop Grumman may have taken top prize for arrogance with its new slogan, "Defining the Future." One would think this tag line might cause the company some trouble with the legions of the religious right--after all, isn't "defining the future" supposed to be the Almighty's job?
Lockheed Martin has changed its slogan from "Mission Success" to "We Never Forget Who We're Working For." Cynics might suggest that the change is linked to the fact that the company had so many high-profile mission failures in the 1990s--from faulty launches that blew up multibillion-dollar satellites to rigged missile-defense tests--that the PR department realized that the better part of valor was to change the subject. But the new slogan is interesting in its own right, given that Lockheed Martin has its hands in so many pockets--the Pentagon, NASA, the IRS, the US Postal Service, numerous state and local governments, and on and on--that they may well forget from time to time who they are working for.
Like Northrop Grumman, Boeing went for a futuristic motto, "Forever New Frontiers," which sounds like a mix between a Bob Dylan song and a motto from the Kennedy Administration. The brochure that announces the new slogan shows a young African-American girl holding a globe in her hands, which opens up into a colorful, three-part brochure featuring lots of soothing talk about "global partnerships" interspersed with the occasional bit of heavy metal (an Apache helicopter here, an F-18 combat aircraft there). The overall impression is of a sort of hip imperial power that would be fun to be ruled by, certainly far better than those heavy-handed Russians or those stick-up-the-ass Brits.
It's not clear that this is the message Boeing is trying to convey, but there's the rub, of course--for all of their firepower, neither Boeing, nor Bush, nor Northrop Grumman, nor Rumsfeld, can control the way the rest of the world perceives them. And that is ultimately why we, the people, are going to win, and they, the corporate militarists, are going to lose. Let's just hope we can limit the damage they do while we are seizing the steering wheel from their greedy little hands.

Optovue Receives FDA Clearance of iCam
Fremont, CA, Feb 14, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Optovue, a pioneer in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), has received 510(k) clearance for its latest product, the iCam(TM) Non-Mydriatic, compact fundus camera. The iCam camera produces 45° color fundus images of the eye as well as external ocular structures. Even with its compact size, the iCam includes a variety of functions and features that produce high-quality image documentation and management of ocular health. A 12-bit CCD sensor is used to provide deep, rich colors with lower noise than typical 8-bit CMOS sensors used in competing cameras. An LED light source is used for reduced peak light energy to the eye as well as longer life.
"In our clinic, we believe that the clearance of iCam is a game changer, as it gives any clinician the opportunity to do high-quality, easy-to-use fundus photography of various pathologies," says Jorge Cuadros, OD of Buena Vista Eyecare Group. "In addition, it has an economical pricing structure and unparalleled imaging capabilities with a learning curve that is minimal compared to that of other devices. iCam will provide a tremendous return on our investment." The device includes simple joystick control, focusing and positioning aids to expedite the photography process while an easy user interface enables image review and EMR communication.
iCam is expected to release to the US market in early Q2, followed by a global release.
About Optovue(R) Optovue, Inc. is a privately-held ophthalmic device company dedicated to working with eye care professionals and clinical researchers to lead the commercialization of new imaging modalities that improve diagnosis and therapy of ocular disease. Optovue has achieved widespread market success through a combination of unique data analysis design, a reputation for excellent customer service, and rapid innovation of its technology in response to physician feedback. The company is headquartered in Fremont, California, with operations in Encinitas, California and European operations in Germany.

HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) - The way Robert Egan sees it, New Jerseyans and North Koreans have a lot in common. They're family-centered, fiercely loyal and often misunderstood by outsiders.
It's those similarities that this high school dropout turned barbecue pit-master says allowed him to be a successful liaison between the United States and North Korea for years, a role that has eluded even seasoned diplomats.
Egan formed an unlikely friendship in the early 1990s with the North Koreans who were posted to their country's United Nations mission in New York, following an introduction by Vietnamese officials he'd met through his activism on the search for missing American soldiers.
"There is a lot of North Jersey in the North Koreans. They're sensitive, they're caring people," Egan said. "But there's another side to them. I don't know if that's bipolar or what, but there's two personalities."
James Gandolfini was set to portray Egan in a movie for HBO before the actor's death last month. A spokeswoman for HBO said the project would continue and the company maintains the option on a book Egan wrote with journalist Kurt Pitzer, called "Eating with the Enemy: How I Waged Peace with North Korea from My BBQ shack in Hackensack."
The gregarious 55-year-old, known as Bobby, freely admits to a past that included drug use and youthful petty crimes. Egan said he had always been open with both the North Koreans and his own government about his activities, and shared information with both.
A 2002 New York Times article about North Korea's newly discovered secret nuclear program said The Times had been contacted by the North Koreans through Egan, because they had wanted to get a message to the U.S. government about their willingness to negotiate with the Bush administration over the program.
Egan said his relations with the North Koreans have cooled since the 2010 publication of his book and because he feels North Korea's current leader, Kim Jong Un, is a more volatile, dangerous man than his predecessor and less open to backdoor communication between the two nations, which have no formal diplomatic relations.
During his active years with the North Koreans, Egan often fed visiting delegates at Cubby's, his modest barbecue restaurant located along a light industrial stretch of road in Hackensack, about eight miles outside of Manhattan. The exact mileage between Cubby's and the UN was itself a matter of diplomatic importance: The restaurant fell within the 25-mile radius that North Koreans are permitted to travel on their heavily restricted visas. His restaurant walls and several albums are full of photos of Egan escorting the North Korean diplomats on fishing and hunting trips, or to Giants games. They also include pictures of his trips to North Korea.
Egan, who is proud of his blue-collar Italian and Irish ancestry, said the North Koreans came to trust his straight-talking New Jersey ways.
"Certainly the roughness around me, the `street Bobby,' is something they respond favorably to," he said. "Right up to the top, they got all Bobby Egans running their country. These guys are street thugs. These guys have made it the hard way."

Air conditioning
No hot water. No cable as advertised. No food
On water, private beach, full amenities, very comfortable.
Food prices were too high and they charge a service fee of 10% to every bill which is not the tip.
The location was perfect as a over night stay after our cruise.the front desk was on top of things, right down to making sure we had a taxi at 5:00AM to take us to he airport.
My family and I stayed at the Radisson for four nights. It was a memorable experience. Hotel is very clean and the beach beautiful.
Staff extremely helpful and friendly. The Bartender, Jermaine did an excellent job with the drinks and he is great eye candy (lol). Our Waiter at breakfast, Selwyn was happy to share information and directions to difference places on the Island as he kept the coffee flowing.
Wonderful experience and I am glad we chose Radisson Aquatica Resort.
It was a little too quiet for us in the evenings. Maybe a couple of nights per week they should offer some type of entertainment or have a beach party.
Enjoyed the breakfast, but a wider variety of items would be nice.
After a long day of travel, we arrived at the hotel and they didn't even have our reservation. We talked to the front desk woman for about 20 mins and finally she gave us a room. Upon checking out the next morning, the front desk guy wanted to charge us more than we had already been charged for the room on the website. I clearly explained to him that we had already pains but he said he needed to charge us. I called kayak and they talked to him and figured things out. I don't feel like I should have to be calling your website to straighten everything out. You should have sent our reservation over and we shouldn't have had a problem. Luckily my phone worked because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to call. This mistake has basically made me not want to ever use your website for anything ever again.
Beautiful beach, great staff, great rooms and quiet
The location. Woul recommend renting a car if staying there. Also limited restaurant hours and menu items. Be prepared to go for groceries to stock your own room
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car hires can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Heat claims third victim
MLGW announces plan offering relief
Heat claimed a third Memphis-area victim this summer on Thursday, a 72-year-old man, as city and utility officials announced a program to help customers keep the power on while temperatures are dangerously high.
The unidentified victim, who lived in the 38109 ZIP code, had an air conditioner that was running but was blowing hot air. He also had a working fan but all the windows were closed, said Heather Reynolds of the Shelby County Health Department.
It's uncertain if he had other underlying health issues.
The two other heat victims so far this summer were John Lemley, 60, of Brighton, who fell June 7 trying to get out of his van, and Arlene White, 75, who was found dead June 6 in her home at Magnolia Terrace, an apartment complex for seniors at 669 N. Third. Her air conditioner was not on, although a fan was blowing in her room.
Lemley, who had had both legs amputated, was found by a family member and rushed to the hospital, but later died.
The program unveiled Thursday by Jerry Collins, Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division president and CEO, and Mayor A C Wharton allows utility customers whose power has been shut off for nonpayment to get it reconnected for a $275 fee.
"No one in the city of Memphis should have to perish because they can't get their utilities turned on," Wharton said at an afternoon news conference.
Under the program, effective today, customers can immediately have power restored for payment of the $275 fee. Any remaining balance owed can be deferred for five months.
"We can exercise as much compassion as it is legally possible," said Collins.
About 1,700 homes in the city are without power at present.
Customers can make the $275 payment at any of five community payment centers.
The centers will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.
Customers can also call MLGW for assistance.

Honeymoon Inn Manali: Worst Manali experience
This is worst ever hotel that I ever set foot into. I went to Manali with a lot of expectation with my wife and kid. We had made a 3 nights reservation in this hotel through a travel agent. After driving all the way from Delhi we reached this hotel. Our room was the super deluxe room on the 3rd floor. There are no lifts in the hotel so we had to climb. The rooms dont have a balcony so you cant have any sort of mountain view. No sitouts so one cant sit and enjoy the sunrise and sunset from the hotel room. There was an old pedalistic fan in the room so anyone with small kids its dangerous as kids tend to put their fingers inside. To my amazement the bathrooms dont have hot water and if one has to take a bath then hot water is brought by the waiter. Half bucket of lukewarm water for a bath for one person is all they will give you.
To top it all the food is pathetic and the service is poor. The staff is rude and dishonest. Within an hour of our stay in this rubbish hotel we decided to leave. When I asked for a refund they told me that upon deduction of 1 days charge they will refund the rest. Till date I havent got my money back. Needless to say that this was the worst experience you will ever have.
In hindsight I feel that the travel agent in Faridabad - Krishna Travels owned by Lalit Massom and the hotel manager colluded to cheat us of our money. They have been doing this and I have got similar feedback from other people. The agent books this godforsaken hotel for unsuspecting travellers and then they are cheated of their money. I was told that the hotel was the best in Manali but I must tell you that I am a very well travelled man and this hotel was the worst that there can be in any hill station. Coupled with dishonest and rude staff menbers this has to one of its kind in the hospitality business
Everything about this is poor

park plaza royal palms mumbai: park plaza royal palms mumbai
i stayed in'park plaza',royal palms,mumbai.it looks nice but...the room i got is full of stain on the wall . like they put some decoration or construction then took if off.left the stain and holes on the wall . that does not look nice if you have to stay long.asking for changing room at 8.30 pm. the duty manager just said all rooms were fully booked for that night and next night.i asked for the next,next...night.she told me to wait in the room and she would call me back.i asked if she could check it for me now.just to check room availability,it does not take any long.she just ignored me and continued her stuff,left me stand there.it is such a rude manner.i had no choice but went back,waited for the call.i called other 2 times to her.then the lamp on the bed side table started blinking.i called the front desk again asking which night i can change the room.just tell me which night i can have it changed.it's now him and told me that he was busy and would call me back.no wonder,no call back at all.at 10 - 11 pm. some sort of alarm near my room came up like crazy.i wondered how come people can sleep with this noise.or maybe there was nobody in the room next to me.how come if all are fully booked.nobody seemed to bother.now i gave up all and wanted to sleep.the control panel for lights did not really work.i could not turn off the window light.i called him again for this . he said somebody would come in 5 - 10 minutes because i asked for how long . no doubt that nobody came.almost midnight called him again since i could not sleep . he told me that in a moment somebody would come.surely enough nobody came.i woke up 3 times in 3 and a half hour and after 3.30 am. i could not sleep anymore.obviously no sign for any service mind from the staff there despite 2 rings.at 4.30 am. no sleepy feeling anymore,i started walking find the switch(window light).actually at midnight,i tried to look for it somewhere near the window but it's not there.finally at 4.30 i found it hiding behind the bed side table .
not only that as you heard from me already , the lamp on the bed side table was also blinking . i did not want to say it out too much . it is actually scary for me . you know ? apart from the stained wall , torn wall paper . that is scary enough . especially , incredibly worst service in any hotel i ever experience .

1997 Readers' Choice Awards
Welcome to Linux Journal's third annual Readers' Choice Awards.
In response to requests for a larger survey, last year's nine categories were expanded to twenty. A few of the new categories are "Favorite Shell", "Most Desired Upgrade" and "Best Linux Web Page".
The Readers' Choice survey was conducted on the Linux Journal web site, where the voting was open for 6 weeks. Almost 3000 people participated in this year's poll. This survey, though unscientific, is a good way to see what products Linux Journal readers are using, what books they are reading and what games they are playing.
Now, here are the results...
Winner: Red Hat Linux
Runner Up: Debian Linux
Red Hat was the runaway winner of the "Favorite CD-ROM Distribution" this year. Red Hat garnered almost three times as many votes as its nearest competitor, Debian.
Winner: Kernel Korner
Runner Up: Best of Technical Support
Kernel Korner, our technical guide to kernel programming, won the prize as LJ Readers' favorite column. Second place went to the question and answer column Best of Technical Support.
Winner: GCC
Runner Up: Perl
Not surprisingly, GCC won as the "Most Used Development Tool". Perl came in a strong second.
Winner: Cyclades
Runner Up: Digi International
For the third year in a row Cyclades' boards have topped our "Primary Communication Board" category.
Winner: Bash
Runner Up: Tcsh
Bash was the clear winner in the competition of the shells. Our readers picked Bash almost four times more often than any other shell.
Winner: vi
Runner Up: Emacs
vi edged out Emacs in this hotly contested category. The word processing programs lost big to traditional text editors—most word processors got less than a tenth of the votes that vi received.
Winner: GIMP
Runner Up: Corel Draw!
GIMP, the freely distributed graphics program, won a decisive victory over the other graphics applications. GIMP had an edge of more than 1000 votes over runner up Corel Draw!
Winner: Netscape
Runner Up: Lynx
Linux Journal's Readers favor Netscape as their web browser by a wide margin over the text-only Lynx browser.
Winner: Running Linux by Matt Welsh and Lar Kaufman \tPublished by O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.
Runner Up: Linux Network Administrators Guide by Olaf Kirch \tPublished by SSC, Inc and O'Reilly..
In a reversal of last year's results, Running Linux took first prize and the Linux Network Administrator's Guide took second.

Medal - 'Music - Timpani', Michael Meszaros, Victoria, Australia, 1971 Reg. No: NU 48531
- Summary:
- Bronze art medal titled 'Timpani' from the Music series by Melbourne sculptor Michael Meszaros, 1971. 'Timpani' is one of a series of six medals depicting orchestral instruments, five of which are in the Museum's collection. The body of the kettle drum fills most of the design, emphasising both its shape, which is echoed the circle of the medal itself, and the volume it can produce. The musician, on the other hand, is visible only as a pair of hands holding the mallets.
- Description:
- Bronze medal with obverse design of a pair of hands holding mallets on the upper edge. Most of the filed is taken up by the polished curve representing the drum.
- Statement Of Significance:
- This is one of 44 art medals in the Museum's collection by Michael Meszaros, dated from 1960 through to 1987, which chart the evolution of a new phase of the medal tradition in Australia. While Australian medals have previously largely been commissioned works associated with official commemorations or major awards, these are personal artworks. In addition to their aesthetic value, they document nearly two decades of Australian life from a personal and popular point of view, drawing on cultural trends, sporting and leisure, and emerging issues such as environmentalism. This is a modern development in Australia, but it harks back to the European tradition, developed in the Renaissance, of medals as artistic works.
For over half a century, sculptors Andor (1900-1973) and Michael (1945- ) Meszaros have created medals that reflect the high points of life in Australia. From major awards and portraits of eminent Australians to artwork celebrating popular culture and the natural world, these objects illuminate our culture and history. Grounded in a centuries-old European art tradition, the medals create connections across disciplines and link such diverse subjects as scientific advances, religious themes, sport, the performing arts and motherhood. Through their public and private commissions and their personal artworks, the Meszaros sculptors have defined the modern Australian medal.
