HoopsHype Steve Novak rumors
Novak, now part of the Raptors bench, was taken out of the rotation against Indiana after hurting his back in the Boston series. But the fan favorite felt raring to go, and lobbied with the Knicks coach when he wasn't used. Woodson's decision backfired when the Knicks' offense petered out in a six-game postseason ouster. "Me and Mike were very open about it.,'' Novak said after Friday's morning shootaround at the Air Canada Centre before the Knicks face Toronto in a preseason game. "It wasn' t like a rift. Obviously he knew the whole time I wanted to play. I told him when I got healthy. I made sure I went up to him and said, 'Listen, I'm 100 percent. Don' t not play me because I'm hurt. I'm ready.' '' New York Post

The New York Knicks are close to finalizing a trade for power forward Andrea Bargnani, which would send Steve Novak and Marcus Camby to the Toronto Raptors, a league source confirmed to ESPNNewYork.com. Sources say in order to make the trade work, the Knicks are going to have to sign-and-trade at least one player into the trade to make it work after July 10 -- when the league's annual moratorium is lifted. It has to be a player Knicks had at the end of the season. Earl Barron and Quentin Richardson are possibilities, according to sources. ESPN.com
Adrian Wojnarowski: Toronto is finalizing agreement to send Andrea Bargnani to Knicks for Marcus Camby, Steve Novak and 2016 first-round pick, sources tell Y! Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Grunwald said he'd like to add a backup point guard, a big and a wing player, perhaps ex-Knick Shawne Williams to replace Copeland, who may bolt for the Pelicans, as The Post reported. There are also rumors the Knicks could look to trade for Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo with Boston having a fire sale, but they don't have draft picks to make that trade. Clearly, Steve Novak will be shopped in any deal. New York Post
Jared Zwerling: Hearing Steve Novak might be the one guy the Knicks could move tonight to move up in the draft or acquire second-round picks. #Knicks Twitter @JaredZwerling
Steve Novak: My official twitter handle has changed to @Steve Novak. Used to be @stevenovak20. Figured it was long overdue! Twitter @stevenovak16
Steve Novak, admittedly disappointed Woodson ignored him in the Indiana series, candidly said the achievement of making it out of the first round for the first time since 2000 was a very minor step. "I think there's been so many different feelings,'' Novak said during Trash-Bag Day. "People have said, 'it's the furthest the Knicks have been in so long.' But for us, we weren't really focused on getting further than the team had been in awhile. We really were focused on putting ourselves in a position to win a championship, and once the regular season ended, we felt like we were in a good spot." Sulia
Considering his numbers, versatility and a changing league bent on 3-pointers, Copeland may seek Steve Novak money, according to a person familiar with the situation. Novak landed a four-year, $16 million package last summer. Copeland has become a more versatile scorer — a 3-point specialist who can put the ball on the floor and score in the post. Novak got the big number from the Knicks because, through an appeal with the Player's Association, they were awarded Novak's early Bird rights. New York Post
The Knicks won't have any such rights in retaining the obscure Belgian Leaguer. The only other team that sent a scout last season to the Belgian League to watch Copeland was Miami, according to a source. It was quite a find by European scout Kevin Wilson, who is regarded highly in the organization. The Knicks will extend Copeland his $900,000 qualifying offer to keep him restricted so they can match an offer. But they may be prohibited from matching any offer more than $3 million. They would have to use one of their precious exceptions — the $1.9 million biannual exception or the $3 million mini mid-level exception given to luxury taxpayers. The Knicks don't have the full $5 million mid-level because of their lousy cap situation. Copeland makes the league minimum, $473,000, this season. New York Post
Nate Taylor: Steve Novak said his back still feels stiff. Mike Woodson called him a game-time decision for tonight. Twitter @ByNateTaylor

TV Shows On DVD — Too Much of a Good Thing?
Studios are pumping out TV-DVD packages faster, and more furiously, than ever.
Virtually no Tuesday goes by without a handful of complete-season TV sets arriving in stores. And even obscure, short-lived series like "Ned and Stacey" are being resurrected on DVD. Next Tuesday, 17 sets will hit stores, according to Gord Lacey, who operates the http://www.TVShowsOnDVD.com Web site.
"I think it's starting to get a little strained … and consumers are going to have to pick and choose," he said. "Some visitors to my site have even begun asking why the studios are loading certain dates."
The answer is easy: There's so much stuff coming out that "loading" certain dates is inevitable. At a time when the DVD business overall is beginning to soften, TV-DVD is one of the few growth areas left in what is fast becoming a mature business.
As of May 20, 207 multidisc TV series had come to market this year, 55.6% more than at this same point last year, according to the DVD Release Report, a weekly industry tip sheet.
Merrill Lynch analyst Jessica Reif Cohen released a report in the fall in which she predicted that the TV-DVD market will grow at an annual rate of about 30% a year, topping out at a projected $3.9 billion in consumer spending by 2008.
The overall DVD business, meanwhile, is no longer growing in the double digits, as it has been since its March 1997 launch. In April, consumer spending on DVDs even took an unprecedented dip of 1.7% from April 2004, the first year-to-year decline in the format's history, according to a Home Media Retailing market research analysis of Nielsen VideoScan numbers.
No wonder, then, that suppliers are ready and willing to clog the DVD pipeline with TV shows new and old, popular and obscure.
"I think what you're seeing is the start of the maturing of that business," said Steve Beeks, president of Lions Gate Entertainment. "A lot of the 'A' shows have now been released, and suppliers are looking at the 'A-minus' and 'B' series. At the same time, we are finishing the cycle of releasing a lot of TV programming to DVD for the first time, which has created this bulge in the marketplace.
Universal Studios Home Entertainment is so up on TV-DVD that it plans on releasing twice as many titles this year as it did in 2004. Upcoming offerings include episodes of "Northern Exposure" and "Quincy M.E."
"Our research shows that there is no sign of the TV-DVD market slowing down," said Ken Graffeo, executive vp marketing. "Among DVD owners between the ages of 18-64, the number of consumers who have purchased TV-DVD product has increased 95% this year alone."
Still, concerns remain about there being too much of a good thing. There's a worsening shelf-space crunch at retail, to the point where in the fourth quarter of last year, suppliers were complaining that the shelf life of their hot new theatricals was being drastically shortened. Some studios have confronted the problem by reducing the size of the packaging.
"Thin is in," said Mark Rashba, vp catalog marketing at Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, which this year is releasing nearly 80 season sets, including "The Partridge Family" and "Seinfeld."
"We heard from a couple of major retailers who really support this category that the thinner the packaging, the more apt they were to put (sets) on the shelf."
Kevin Cassidy, executive vp sales and product at Tower Records and Video, welcomes these moves. Just to accommodate the stepped-up flow of releases, he said, Tower stores in the past year have nearly doubled the amount of floor space devoted to TV-DVD product to the point where it now accounts for 15% of total DVD square footage.

Schroon Lake Supervisor Cathy Moses inquired about using STOP DWI funds for community events, such as one that was held in her town recently. County Attorney Dan Manning stressed that such an event would have to be exclusively centered around preventing drunk driving.
Essex County District Attorney Julie Garcia said an advisory board would be useful in helping to determine appropriate uses for the funds, and that the event put on in Schroon Lake was an example that deserved more scrutiny.
"This is one of those things [the Traffic Safety Board sees] as being egregious spending," she said, claiming that the town filed a $10,000 voucher for the event, which featured fireworks and live entertainment. Moses said the amount was significantly lower.
Garcia added STOP DWI funds could not be used for events simply because they're promoted as being non-alcoholic.
"It just doesn't make sense," said Garcia, stressing events would need to have a clear anti-DWI message for attendees. "I think the educational component is the most important."
Committee members voted unanimously for the approval of the police vehicle expenses, which amounted to $10,000 for the Lake Placid Police Department and $20,000 for the Moriah Police Department.

After Gisele Bundchen's post-Super Bowl rant, football players are now telling her to stick to her day job. Her day job is standing there and being pretty.
"You have to catch the ball when you're supposed to catch the ball," Giselle said to Giants fans heckling her as she was leaving Lucas Oil stadium. "My husband can't f-cking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can't believe they dropped the ball so many times."
New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs has some advice for the Supermodel:
"She just needs to continue to stay cute and shut up."
Yes. You don't see Tom Brady's teammates criticizing your catwalk strut, Gisele. But to be fair, Gisele had her back to the camera and was pretty much just blowing off steam when she made this statement. It's not like she held a press conference and said, "Lo! Let it be said! The new England Patriots, aside from my husband, suck."
"I mean, she's supposed to stay out of things like that," Giants defensive lineman Osi Umenyiora insisted. "But at the end of the day that's their relationship and she has the right to say whatever she wants."
Freedom of speech is also a thing. We all complain about stuff, but most of us don't have cameras sneaking up behind us to capture every scandalous thing we're going to say.
Oh, and Donald Trump has something to say about it, too. Because why not?
"She's standing up for her man and she happened to be right. They were dropping balls all over the place."

ICAA's Colin Milner to bring active-aging insights to two major international forums
Milner invited to participate in World Economic Forum in Dubai; will also present video address to European Union health officials in July
Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) June 26, 2012
Colin Milner, founder and CEO of the International Council on Active Aging® (ICAA) will take part in the World Economic Forum (WEF)´s Summit of the Global Agenda , to be held November 12-14 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. According to the WEF, the summit "is the world´s largest brainstorming meeting, aimed at shaping the global agenda by bringing together the most relevant thought leaders of the WEF´s Network of Global Agenda Councils." In conjunction with the summit invitation, Milner was invited for the fifth consecutive year to be a global advisor in the network.
For the 2012 meeting, the WEF has charged participants with focusing on ways "to transform new models into collaborative, sustained processes, which drive solutions for a greener and socially more inclusive world." Milner intends to leverage his role in the network and at the summit "to help raise awareness of the growing global older-adult population and the need to explore sustainable solutions to accommodating them in cities and communities around the world," he says. "We must also identify evidence-based programs that promote healthy active aging, and programs that foster older adults´ continuing contribution to world economies, both as workers and consumers." As part of its mission to change society´s perceptions of aging and improving the quality of life for older adults, ICAA is building its Changing the Way We Age® Campaign, launched late last year.
Milner´s recognized expertise and role as a global active-aging "ambassador" also led to an invitation to address thought leaders at a July 3 meeting in Ipswich, United Kingdom. The meeting is being held under the umbrella of "Progress Towards Healthy Ageing in Europe," a project funded by the European Union Programme for Employment and Social Solidarity (PROGRESS). Milner will present trends in active aging via video to help inform decision makers involved in pilot interventions in workplaces across Europe. "The overarching aim of these interventions is to encourage and support individuals in leading healthier, more active lives," Milner says.
"In many ways, Europe is ahead of North America with initiatives, such as those that emerged from the 65th World Health Assembly, which support the concept of active-aging on a large scale," Milner observes. "Part of my personal mission is to bring the learnings from my involvement in these global undertakings to active-aging professionals, health care professionals, business people, and members of government and academia who can then fold this information into their current and future health and wellness projects, here and abroad."
About the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA)
The International Council on Active Aging® is the professional association that leads, connects and defines the active-aging industry. ICAA supports professionals who develop wellness facilities, programs and services for adults over 50. The association is focused on active aging–an approach to aging that helps older adults live as fully as possible within all dimensions of wellness (i.e., physical, social, environmental, vocational, intellectual, emotional and spiritual)–and provides its members with education, information, resources and tools.
As an active-aging educator and advocate, ICAA has advised numerous organizations and governmental bodies, including the US Administration on Aging, the National Institute on Aging (one of the US National Institutes of Health), the US Department of Health and Human Services, Canada´s Special Senate Committee on Aging, European Commission, and the British Columbia ministries of Health, and Healthy Living and Sport.
ICAA launched the Changing the Way We Age® Campaign (http://www.changingthewayweage.com) as part of the organization´s efforts to change perceptions of aging and overturn ageist stereotypes.

AP Sources: Shafer to take over at Syracuse
Offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, a 2002 graduate of Cal-Davis, was in charge of an offense that set numerous school records in 2012 with fifth-year senior quarterback Ryan Nassib at the helm. Hackett, just 33, has limited coaching experience, but retaining him on staff is paramount going forward.
The up-tempo spread offense Marrone and Hackett installed in August at the end of preseason camp has piqued the interest of quarterback prospects like Allen and Wilson. Hackett developed Nassib and transformed Syracuse's offense into one of the best in the nation. Syracuse finished 2012 first in the Big East in total offense with an average of 473.4 yards per game, and Nassib is being projected as an early-round pick in the upcoming NFL draft.
The Orange will play eight ACC games next season, as well as non-conference dates with, among others, Northwestern and Penn State.

The child was shot in the arm Tuesday and underwent surgery at a Boise hospital. He and two siblings are now in state custody.
Ontario had two shootings in October. The other was fatal.

Obama: US, China in 'uncharted waters' on cyber
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. The United States and China are in "uncharted waters" as they tackle the contentious issue of cybersecurity, President Barack Obama said following the opening round of talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping at a summit in the California desert.
Both Obama and Xi carefully avoided directly accusing each other of cyber-espionage. But they acknowledged an urgent need to find a common approach to addressing the matter.
"We don't have the kind of protocols that have governed military issues and arms issues, where nations have a lot of experience in trying to negotiate what's acceptable and what's not," Obama said during a news conference with Xi late Friday on the grounds of the sprawling Sunnylands estate.
The question-and-answer session with reporters was bookended by more than two hours of private talks and a working dinner. Obama and Xi will reconvene Saturday morning for another round of discussions, which mark the first time the two men have met since Xi took office in March.
U.S. officials cast the more relaxed California summit as an opportunity for Obama and Xi to hold candid and free-flowing talks on the myriad issues that define the relationship between the two countries, including the economy, climate change and North Korea's nuclear provocations.
However, it's cyber security that has taken on increasing importance to the Obama administration in its recent talks with China.
Because of advances in technology, the issue of cybersecurity and need for rules and common approach for cybersecurity are going to be increasingly important, Obama said.
Obama said it was critical that the U.S. and China reach a "firm understanding" on cyber issues. But he stopped short of accusing China of orchestrating hacking attacks on American government and business computers.
Xi claimed no responsibility for China's alleged actions. He said his nation was also a victim of cyber-spying, but did not assign any blame.
The discussion on international cyber-spying was juxtaposed with new revelations that the Obama administration is collecting data from U.S. phone and Internet companies.
The president pushed back against the notion that the controversy over the widespread government surveillance undercut his credibility to take on China over cybersecurity. He insisted the two issues were separate and said concerns over hacking and intellectual property theft shouldn't be confused with the debate over how governments collect data to combat terrorist threats.
"That's a conversation that I welcome," he said.
China, too, has concerns about cybersecurity, Xi said, calling new technology a "double-edged sword" that can drive progress while causing headaches for governments and their regulators. Although he said China has been victimized by cybercrime, he did not specify who may have perpetrated them.
Speaking more broadly, Xi said he and Obama believe the two countries can approach each other in a way "that is different from the inevitable confrontation and conflict."
The U.S. has started bringing its complaints about persistent Chinese computer-hacking into the open after years of quiet and largely unsuccessful diplomacy. It has accused Beijing's government and military of computer-based attacks against America. While there have been no actual admissions of guilt, Chinese leaders have started acknowledging there is a problem and U.S. officials say the Chinese seem more open to working with the U.S. to address it.

This invention relates to computer memory in general, and more specifically to providing a sample and hold voltage reference for non-volatile memory.
Non-volatile memory that can retain information when a power supply is switched off, such as flash memory, is being used increasingly in electronic devices for personal and commercial use, including cellular telephones, digital cameras, embedded devices, and personal data assistants. Flash memory is well suited for such uses because it is electrically erasable and can be reprogrammed within normal circuit parameters, without requiring special programming devices operating at higher than normal voltage levels.
Technology has made it possible to produce flash memory that is increasingly dense, resulting in greater and greater amounts of memory being available to electronic products. However, increasing the density of memory results in increased power consumption. Further, in order to reduce the power consumption of these products, there has also been an attempt to operate flash memory at lower voltages and to utilize low power circuits, which presents additional challenges to keep up with performance demand and cost restraints.
Flash memory is composed of flash cells that require a certain drain voltage for proper operation. The function of a drain bias circuit is to provide the necessary drain voltage to a flash cell. The load in a drain bias converts the current differential between the data flash cell and the reference cell to a voltage differential at the data array sense input node (SIN node) or reference array input node (RIN node) for the sense amplifier to sense. In 1:1 sensing operation, for each sense amplifier there is one drain bias circuit provided for the array side and one provided for the reference side. When there is no sensing operation, the drain bias circuit may be turned off and thus does not sink any current. Before sensing operations commence, it is necessary to turn the drain bias on, and thereby cause current flow. When turned on, the drain bias circuit begins charging the bitline or column, and in addition begins to develop the voltage margin that the sensing amplifier will be sensing. It is important to charge the bitline quickly in order to achieve sufficiently fast sensing speed.
A typical drain biasing circuit may include a biasing feedback inverter. As the data size (the number of bits being read at one time) and density of non-volatile memory are increased, a drain bias circuit with a biasing feedback inverter may pose difficulties because the biasing feedback inverter sinks a relatively high amount of current. The current for each such circuit may be in the range of 100 to 200 microamps. As more flash memory cells are read simultaneously, the resulting power consumption also rises. In addition, the physical area occupied by such a drain bias circuit needs to be relatively large for sufficient speed of operation.
The development of non-volatile memory has moved towards reading more memory cells simultaneously, thus requiring additional sensing amplifiers and drain bias circuits. As more drain bias circuits are required for sensing more memory cells, the physical space in a semiconductor device that is dedicated to this function also increases. For example, in x64 sensing, in which the values of 64 memory cells are read at a time, there are 128 drain bias circuits, resulting in significant current drain and physical space requirements. As the physical area for drain bias circuits increases, the parasitic capacitance created generally will also increase, and this capacitance creates power losses in the memory device.
In addition to non-volatile memory moving towards larger scale devices, the device supply voltages levels have also been reduced to save power in operation and extend the life of power sources. As non-volatile memory moves to these lower supply voltages, it becomes more difficult to bring voltages up to necessary operating levels quickly so as not to sacrifice speed of memory operation.
The appended claims set forth the features of the invention with particularity. The invention, together with its advantages, may be best understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:

A method and apparatus are described for providing a sample and hold voltage reference for non-volatile memory.
In the following description, for the purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form.
The present invention includes various steps, which will be described below. The steps of the present invention may be performed by hardware components or may be embodied in machine-executable instructions, which may be used to cause a general-purpose or special-purpose processor or logic circuits programmed with the instructions to perform the steps. Alternatively, the steps may be performed by a combination of hardware and software.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram that illustrates the elements that are involved in sensing the contents of non-volatile memory under a particular embodiment. Non-volatile memory device 100 includes a voltage reference 110. Voltage reference 110 is connected to drain bias 120, which maintains the necessary voltage levels for non-volatile memory cells. In this embodiment, the memory cells are included within memory 130, which includes data array 140 and reference array 150. From drain bias 120, memory cell signals are transferred to pre-sense amplifier 160, which provides data to post-sense amplifier latch 170. Pre-sense amplifier 160 and post-sense amplifier latch 170 are included in sense amplifier 190. Data is transferred from post-sense latch 170 to memory device output 180.
Previously, a drain bias circuit for flash memory typically was a feedback cascode drain bias utilizing an s′ cascode device. (An s′ device is a low threshold voltage n-channel device.) A conventional feedback cascode drain bias circuit is shown in FIG. 2. In FIG. 2, the gate of s′ cascode device 200 is controlled by biasing feedback inverter 220. The feedback to the gate of s′ cascode device 200 is controlled by the cell drain voltage from sense node or reference node, SEN/REN 230, if the drain reference is for the data array or the reference array, respectively. Connected to s′ cascode device 200 is drain bias load 210. In this example, between drain bias load 210 and s′ cascode device 200 is either the sense input node or the reference input node, SIN/RIN 240, depending on whether the drain bias circuit is connected to a data array cell or to a reference array cell. The other side of drain bias load 210 is connected to source voltage VCC 250.
In a particular embodiment, a drain bias circuit is as shown in FIG. 3. This novel device is referred to as a static cascode drain bias. The voltage reference source connected to the gate of the cascode device is a static voltage reference that does not employ a feedback inverter. In this embodiment, an n-channel cascode device 300 is used, instead of an s′ cascode device 200 as shown in FIG. 2. The use of an n-channel device may reduce the capacitance related to the reference signal because an n-channel device may be physically smaller than an s′ device. In FIG. 3, the gate of n-channel cascode device 300 is connected to drain bias reference 320. In one embodiment, the drain bias reference is the sample and hold reference generator shown in FIG. 4 and described below. One terminal of n-channel cascode device 300 is connected to SEN/REN 330, which is the path to the memory cell drain, and the other terminal is connected to load 310. Between n-channel cascode device 300 and load 310 is either the sense input node or the reference input node, SIN/RIN 340, depending on whether the drain bias circuit is connected to a data array cell or to a reference array cell. In one embodiment, load 310 is the drain bias column load and current mirror shown in FIG. 5 and described below. The other side of the load is connected to VCC, voltage source 350. In one embodiment, sense input node or reference input node SIN/RIN 340 is also connected to the drain bias kicker circuit illustrated in FIG. 6 and described below.
The embodiment shown in FIG. 3 provides for a decrease in current and power consumption by the drain bias circuit. The embodiment does not require a feedback inverter and as a result the current drain associated with the drain bias function is reduced as compared with typical designs. As the number of cells of a non-volatile memory device that are read simultaneously in a single operation is increased, the power savings for the memory device become increasingly significant.
Further, the device utilizes an n-channel cascode device, thereby using a device with a higher Beta value. In this embodiment, it is possible to utilize an n-channel cascode device that is smaller than an s′ cascode device, which reduces the physical area required on a memory device chip and reduces the resulting parasitic capacitance. The reduction in capacitance lowers the power requirements for the memory device. The n-channel device requires a higher gate voltage than is required for an s′ device, and such gate voltage is supplied by the drain bias voltage reference. The embodiment shown in FIG. 3 has small sense node capacitance, which allows for high performance operation with low power consumption.
For operation of the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, a drain bias voltage reference may be included. The drain bias shown in FIG. 2 typically would include a reference voltage for the feedback biasing, but this does not require a special voltage, as the voltage source Vcc may be used as the reference source for such a circuit. However, for the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, a special drain bias circuit may be used to provide the necessary gate voltage.
FIG. 4 illustrates a sample and hold reference generator under a particular embodiment. In the circuit, the output of differential amplifier 400 is connected to the gate of s′ device 410. The inputs to differential amplifier 400 are flash pair reference 405 and one terminal of s′ device 410. The flash pair reference 405 is a relatively stable voltage that differential amplifier 400 utilizes to regulate the source of s′ device 410. Resistor ratio 415 is trimmable to provide the desired bit line voltage at node N1 470. Node N1 470 then connects to the drain of cascode device 425. Cascode device 425 is an n-channel device that is matched to the n-channel cascode device in the drain bias circuit to which the sample and hold reference generator is connected. In one embodiment in which the reference source in FIG. 4 provides the voltage reference for the static reference drain bias circuit illustrated in FIG. 3, cascode device 425 is matched to n-channel cascode device 300. The source of cascode device 425 is connected to one terminal of p-channel device 430. The gate of p-channel device 430 is connected to ground 435. The second terminal of device 430 is connected to Y pump voltage 440. (The voltage pump device is not shown.) In one embodiment, the voltage pump device raises the voltage above the level of the voltage source, which is useful when the source voltage for a non-volatile memory device is lowered to levels such as 1.8 volts. The reference voltage obtained from the gate of cascode device 425 is connected to one terminal of switching device 445. The second terminal of switching device 445 is connected to capacitor 450, which is then connected to ground 455. Switching device 445 is a switch that is controlled by a pulse source and that periodically closes the connection between the gate of cascode device 425 and capacitor 450. Upon closing switching device 445, capacitor 450 is charged to the reference voltage. In one embodiment, the reference voltage is provided by capacitor 450 to a drain bias circuit via path 460.
In a particular embodiment, the sample and hold reference generator shown in FIG. 4 is the sole voltage reference for all read drain bias circuits in a non-volatile memory device. In a device in which a large number of memory cells are sensed simultaneously, the reference generator drives many transistors, and such transistors have a very large total capacitance. If the reference generator is powered up every time a read is executed, there is a large power cost. In this embodiment, the reference generator is powered up during the power up sequence for the memory device. Because of the sample and hold function, the reference circuit does not require power with every memory access, but rather only requires periodic refresh operation to charge capacitor 450 to the required reference voltage.
The reference generator consumes very little power because it is the sole reference source for the device and because power operation is only necessary periodically. Instead, the circuit utilizes a large capacitance and from time to time charges up the capacitance by opening up the switch. In addition, the circuit provides Vt (threshold voltage) compensation across wide ranges of temperature and varying VCC to make Vt largely independent of cascode characteristics.
In a certain embodiment, a circuit comprising a column load and a current mirror is used as a load for a non-volatile memory drain bias. In such a circuit, the column load acts as a resistance in the circuit, and is a standard device to reduce the area required for a resistance in a semiconductor device. The current mirror device provides a common mode current to the memory array. Sensing of flash memory is accomplished through voltage sensing, which is a sensing of the current multiplied times the resistance (the IR drop). The circuit samples or mirrors out part of the current. The common mode current is taken out of the reference and array side, and such action raises SIN/RIN levels and provides a bigger Vds (the voltage between drain and source) to the cascode device. The higher voltage assists in keeping the cascode device in saturation at low VCC.
However, a drain bias load that includes a current mirror can be a source of significant power loss because of the reference source. FIG. 5 illustrates an embodiment in which the reference is a sample and hold reference source that results in significant power savings. The load illustrated in FIG. 5 includes an s′ column load device 500 with gate and one terminal of such device connected to voltage source VCC 550. The second terminal of s′ column load device 500 is connected to either the sense input node or reference input node, SIN/RIN 530, if the drain bias is for a memory cell in a data array or in a reference array, respectively. Such SIN/RIN node 530 is the input to the sense amplifier and is connected to the drain of an n-channel cascode device. (The sense amplifier and the n-channel cascode device are not shown in FIG. 5.)
In one embodiment, the n-channel cascode device connected at path 510 is device 300 shown in FIG. 3 and the sense amplifier is sense amplifier 190 shown in FIG. 1. Also connected to RIN/SIN 530 is one terminal of current mirror device 520. The second terminal of current mirror device 520 is attached to voltage source VCC 550, while the gate is connected to a path to sample and hold current mirror reference 540. In a further embodiment, the sample and hold reference source is shown in FIG. 4. As described above, a sample and hold reference source results in a significant power savings over typical voltage references. The drain bias load thus results in lower power operating for the drain bias circuit.
In one embodiment, a drain bias kicker circuit is connected to the SIN/RIN node of a drain bias circuit. A drain bias kicker circuit is shown in FIG. 6. Such a kicker circuit is connected to the drain bias on both the data array and reference array sides. As illustrated in FIG. 6, one terminal of high performance transistor 670 is connected to the SIN/RIN node 640. According to one embodiment, high performance transistor 670 is a p-channel device. The second terminal of high performance transistor 670 is connected to voltage source VCC 660, while the gate of high performance transistor 670 is connected to kicker enable 650 through inverter 695. The source of the kicker enable is not shown and may be a known pulse generating source. Also connected to SIN/RIN node 640 is n-channel cascode device 600 and drain bias load 610.
In this embodiment, kicker enable 650 activates p-channel device 670 through inverter 695 and provides a path from voltage source VCC 660 to SIN/RIN node 640. At the beginning of each memory access, the kicker pulse turns high performance transistor 670 on, thereby pulling SIN/RIN node 640 to the level of voltage source VCC 660 and pulling the SEN/REN node to the level of the source voltage minus the voltage across the n-channel cascode device, or VCC−Vtcas. When enabled, the kicker circuit acts as a temporary low resistance path to charge up the bit line. In one embodiment, kicker circuits pull both the SIN node and RIN node to VCC before starting the sensing process, thereby equalizing the potential for the sense and reference sides. Bringing the sense and reference sides to the same potential then allows the differential voltage used for memory cell sensing to be developed more quickly, thus increasing operational speed.
In one embodiment, the SEN/REN node 630 is shorted to the matching sense or reference node for the corresponding data or reference drain bias circuit using s′ device 680. S′ device 680 is activated by kicker enable 650, and activating the device has the effect of equalizing the sense and reference nodes during bit line charging. This assists in accelerating sensing time when there is a mismatch between the capacitance of the main data array and the capacitance of the mini reference array in a memory device.
FIG. 7 illustrates one embodiment in which a drain bias circuit pair is shown together with embodiments of kicker circuits, current mirror and column loads, and sample and hold voltage references.
In one embodiment, the gates of current mirrors 700 and 705 are connected to sample and hold voltage reference 710. The gates of column loads 715 and 720 are connected to filtered voltage source VCC 725. The gates of high performance transistors 730 and 735 are connected to kicker enable 745 through inverter 740. N-channel cascode devices 750 and 755 are connected to sample and hold voltage reference 760. SEN node 770 and REN node 775 are equalized by s′ device 765, which is enabled by kicker enable 745. The current mirrors, column loads, p-channel devices, and n-channel cascode devices for the data array and reference array sides are connected respectively to SIN node 780 and RIN node 785.

21 October 2013 09:37 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Pan Asia Chemical Corp's surfactants plant in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, is currently shut for scheduled maintenance, a company source said on Monday.
The plant – which has a monthly output of 100,000 tonnes of 500 types of surfactants, including alcohol ethoxylates, was taken off line at the start of October and is expected to be restarted in mid-November, the source said in Mandarin.
No breakdown was provided on the plant's output.
Ethoxylates have applications in the home and personal-care, agrochemicals, textile, lubricant and paper industries.
Alcohol ethoxylates can be used directly as surfactants or as feedstock for the production of sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) - the main workhorse of natural surfactants.

Madison Rayne-Madison is talented but right now is at the bottom of the Knockouts division. Story with Earl Hebner went nowhere except to introduce Taryn Terrell and she hasn't been involved in much since. Tag team with Gail Kim might be picking up. Again, TNA's lack of commitment to the women (remember, you're not WWE, the women draw) being a cause. She should be seen more.
Score: 2/10
Next Thursday TNA Impact takes its weekly show live at 8 PM. While this is definitely a good thing and many positives can come from this show I wanted to make a list of decisions they could make to screw it up.
5. Sting winning the TNA World Title-Sting is returning in the first match of the night against champion Bobby Roode. Roode just became the longest reigning champion ever in TNA

|Minimum Stay
Charming A-Frame Chalet single family home in great secure community between Rehoboth and Lewes beaches. House has all amenities, including A/C, washer/dryer, full cable TV, wireless internet, and dishwasher. Rental includes use of community pool (3 block walk), tennis, playground. In/out boat privileges available at community marina for fee (paid to community office). Plenty of off-street parking. House has front and back decks (with new gas grill) and is nestled among trees for shady afternoons. Master BR has queen bed; upstairs BR has twin beds (can push together), loft has double futon, living room has single futon. Use of linens, towels, dishes and kitchen pots/pans/appliances included. Just bring yourself ... everything you need is here! Short walk to crabbing dock, and bay inlet where renters can put in canoes, kayaks etc. Short drive to over 100 outlet stores (Delaware shopping is tax-free).
It was the perfect week for me. Relaxing and comfortable with all that I was looking for. I wanted to get away from it all, be able to bring my small dog, yet have the comforts of home, including the internet, and this rental had it all. I highly reccomend this cozy home.
Very nice we had a wonderful time. Most of the homes were up against each other but this home is private. There was a day it rained but there was plenty to do games and movies etc. The property was clean and there was plenty of hot Water since there were 5 adults. The people in the area were friendly and helpful about the surrounding area. I recommend this place to family and those who enjoy the quiet of a 50 + community. It was peaceful and relaxing. There were plenty of areas to walk and there was a crabbing pier
Had great time. Used the a-frame as a home base but road our folding bikes into Rehoboth and Lewes on Breakwater trail. Community was a great place for a morning walk too.
My friend and I had a fabulous time staying in this place. Everything was very convenient. We came down to ride our horses on the beach and were able to find restaurants, stabling and shopping close to the house. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was fully stocked with cooking utensils. It was a very quiet, safe neighborhood. Loved it!
This beautiful Chalet was the perfect get away! It was so clean and maintained! A short drive to the Rehoboth and Lewes but yet quiet and away from all of the commotion! The photos don't quite capture the charm of this home! And that best part was that I was able to bring my dog away with me for vacation! I'm looking forward to staying there for many years to come!
Great little house, well equipped for a family of 4. Located in a waterfront community, we had access to a nice community center with courts and a pool. The community is a bit of a hike from Lewes and Rehoboth beaches, but the tradeoff is peace and quiet.
House is in quiet community (Angola by the Bay) conveniently located between Rehoboth Beach and Lewes Beach, close to the Midway shopping centers, movies, and three outlet centers. It is a short walk to an inlet to Rehoboth Bay and the community pool, playground, tennis and crabbing docks. Great off-season activities including Sea-Witch festival, Rehoboth Jazz Festival, antique shows, holiday shopping. Most restaurants are open year 'round, as are movies, bowling, and other activities. Easy drive to Cape Henlopen State Park for trail walking, nature viewing.

Google Maps
Google maps has implemented a feature called "Street View". I was playing around with it the other day. You can basically do a real time "drive through" of Baldwin City now. It's kind of cool and creepy at the same time. If you want to check it out, do the following.
Go to http://maps.google.com Zoom into Baldwin City Click on the "Street View" tab in the upper right hand corner of the map. All of the streets in Baldwin will not be outlined in blue. Double click any of the blue lines, and you will get a picture of that area on the map. From there, you can travel NSEW and get a glimpse of the whole town.
I thought it was kind of a cool thing to share....have fun.
markdunn 7 years, 2 months ago
I detest this blog format. Sorry for the "run on" sentences on the directions. I didn't intend to post it like that. It sucks not having a preview feature before posting.
NanCrisp 7 years, 2 months ago
My daughter discovered that map about a week ago. Looks like the "video" was created last Fall sometime. I think it's creepy. How did they get street-level shots of everyone's houses unless they cased the whole town. We also tried to find the town of Whitefish, Montana, where we spent our Winter break, but it wasn't available. Apparently it's taking them a while to thoroughly document every town on the map. Big Brother is in your front yard now. Soon he will be in your living room.
And I'm really confused about the troubles people seem to be having with this format. I still see the preview, can edit what I've written, can comment on others' blogs. Technically, it works fine. But the whole forum is definitely an organizational nightmare. No one wants to have to access the blog or keep count of comments to find out whether there is any new discussion.
markdunn 7 years, 2 months ago
Nan - If you rotate the street view picture all the way down, you will see the top of the car that drives around with the camera on top of it. It's really amazing how the can do the whole panorama shot just driving around town.
And if you'll look at different areas of town, you will see that the pictures were taken at different times. The picture of my house was taken in the fall, on a Sunday. I know this because I just cleaned out my basement and there is a bunch of stuff I set out for the trash that day. However, if you go to say, the Kwik Shop, it's sunny and there are still leaves on the trees.
sawman 7 years, 2 months ago
" It sucks not having a preview feature before posting." It sure does. But you can go back to YOUR blog and edit it. It's just that no one else can edit their comment. I can see the day when a blog gets countless comments, then the blogger makes major changes in their blog leaving subsequent readers to wonder what the commenters had read and responded to. Think that's why Jeff restricts comments to some of his stories?;) There seems to be a draft feature in the software that just hasn't been implemented correctly to let one preview their blog before "publishing". With some from the old community forum filtering back, I find myself dragged kicking and screaming back, too. Google street view is cool beans Mark! I saw the article on Lawrence but hadn't checked it out yet. Looks like August/September last year. Can anyone narrow it down more?
NanCrisp 7 years, 2 months ago
It sounds like the problems come in when it's your blog. I don't have a blog, so I have no trouble with commenting on any of the others in the forum. I'm not going to test it out by starting a blog, though, 'cause I don't want to mess with success.

Hollywood star Pierce Brosnan does not miss playing James Bond and has no desire to return to the character in the future.
The 56-year-old actor, who appeared as the iconic British spy in GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day, before being replaced by Daniel Craig insists he loves the projects he is currently involved with and wouldn't want to return to the action franchise, Contactmusic reported.
"I enjoyed my time as Bond, but I don't miss him. I don't have any desire to do Bond again. I love who I am as an actor right now," Brosnan said.
The star admitted he may not have the physical capabilities to star in the movies anymore anyway.
'I never really nailed it'
"I'm aware of my lack of stamina, particularly working with a young cast on Remember Me with Robert Pattinson, the latest heart-throb. Things do rattle and shake at times, but that's the challenge of life anyway," Brosnan said.
The actor has previously admitted he doesn't think he "nailed" playing the iconic spy as well as he could have because he couldn't stop relating with other actors who have played 007 before.
The actor, who took over the role from Timothy Dalton, said, "It was one of those things I always struggled with. I never felt that I really nailed it. There was always a hint of Sean Connery and Roger Moore that was so indelible in my own mind."
Keywords: Pierce Brosnan, James Bond, Hollywood, Ian Fleming, Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton
