An interconnection system and method of testing and performing burn-in of semiconductor devices prior to separation from the semiconductor wafer on which the devices are formed includes forming interconnection layers of contacts and conductors over the devices and then testing and performing burn-in on the devices. Faulty devices are disconnected from the conductors prior to performing additional test and burn-in. The interconnections are removed prior to separating the device on the wafer, and prior to further possible tests and packaging.
1. A method of forming an interconnection system to semiconductor devices formed on a wafer for burn-in and testing of the semiconductor devices prior to separation from the semiconductor wafer, comprising the steps of:
forming an insulating layer over the semiconductor wafer and the semiconductor devices formed thereon, the semiconductor devices arranged in rows, each semiconductor device having a plurality of bond pads and first and second edges extending in a row direction, and the insulating layer having openings over each of the bond pads;
forming a plurality of conductors, each of said conductors overlaying the semiconductor devices in a row without extending over the first and second edges of the semiconductor devices in the row, each of said conductors connected to a bond pad of each semiconductor device in the row;
forming test point contacts on the semiconductor wafer at locations not containing semiconductor devices; and
connecting each of the test point contacts to one of the plurality of conductors.
2. The method according to claim 1, including the step of applying a layer of adhesive material prior to forming the insulating layer.
3. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of forming fuse links of a low power carrying conductor which open when an overload occurs during burn-in, each of said fuse links connecting one of the bond pads to one of the conductors.
4. A method of forming an interconnection system to semiconductor devices formed on a wafer for burn-in and testing of the semiconductor devices prior to separation from a semiconductor wafer, comprising the steps of:
forming a first insulating layer over the semiconductor wafer and the semiconductor devices formed thereon, each semiconductor device having a plurality of bond pads and edges defining a top surface, the first insulating layer having openings over each of the bond pads;
forming a layer of first conductors over said first insulating layer, each of said first conductors overlaying an associated semiconductor device without extending past the edges defining a top surface of said associated semiconductor device, each of said first conductors connected to a bond pad on said associated semiconductor device;
forming a second insulating layer over the layer of first conductors, the second insulating layer having via openings to each of the first conductors;
forming a layer of second conductors on the second insulating layer, each of said first conductors connected through a via opening to one of said second conductors; and
forming test point contacts on the semiconductor wafer, each test point contact connected to one of said second conductors.
5. The method of claim 4 further comprising the step of forming fuse links of a low power carrying conductor which open when an overload occurs during burn-in, each of said fuse links connecting one of the bond pads to one of the first conductors.
This is a division of application Ser. No. 08/191,847, filed Feb. 4, 1994, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,444,366, which is a division of Ser. No. 07/954,592, filed Sep. 30, 1992, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,307,010, which is a continuation of Ser. No. 07/640,198, filed Jan. 11, 1991, now abandoned.
This invention relates to the testing and burn-in of semiconductor devices, and more particularly to a system and method of testing and burn-in whole wafers prior to dicing the wafer.
Most MOS semiconductor products require burn-in and testing to avoid field failures due to devices which are faulty when manufactured. Some procedures use stress by probing at elevated voltages to detect and sort faulty chips before packaging and burn-in.
High pin count contact assemblies similar to the ones used in conventional wafer probe systems are not practical due to the difficulty in maintaining good contact with all the bond pads, between 3000 and 6000, during the burn-in period. This period can range from 20 hours to 120 hours. The construction of such high pin count burn-in probes is expensive, if not impossible.
A flexible, reusable contact assembly, fabricated using plating techniques is less expensive than individual pin probes, but this type of contact cannot be used with bare aluminum bond pads due to the natural oxide on aluminum bond pads. A bumping or oxide removal step is generally required of the bond pad before this type contact assembly can be used. This application, however, is very sensitive to contact pressure and deemed impractical.
In the present invention, a positive contact is made to every bond pad on each semiconductor on a wafer. Either a multilayer or single layer structure may be used.
In the multilayer structure, contacts are formed around the edge of the wafer. A first layer of a plurality of conductors is formed on an insulating layer over the face of the wafer. There is one conductor for each bond pad on each device that is to be tested. A second layer of a metal conductors is formed over the first layer of conductors . The second layer of leads interconnect common bond pads (for example, pin 1 of each device) together, and to a contact on the edge of the wafer. In this way the semiconductor devices on a single column of devices on the wafer are effectively connected in parallel. This burn-in method is extremely useful for memory devices where all the address lines and input lines can be activated simultaneously. The first layer of conductors may be connected to the second layer of conductor through fuse links. These links may later be cut by using a laser to "disconnect" inoperable or shorted devices.
The single layer structure uses a single conductor to connect the common bond pads of the devices in a row of devices. Each bond pad may be connected to the conductor by a fuse link.
While the devices are still on the wafer, they may be connected to burn-in voltages. After burn-in, the burn-in metal interconnect structure is removed. Tests may be made to identify faulty devices, and faulty devices marked for scrap. The devices are then separated for packaging and final test.
The technical advance represented by the invention as well as the objects thereof will become apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and the novel features set forth in the appended claims.
FIG. 1 illustrates a semiconductor wafer with a plurality of devices formed thereon;
FIG. 2 shows an enlarged view of three devices on the wafer;
FIG. 3 shows three devices with a first layer of conductors thereon;
FIG. 4 shows the three devices of FIG. 3 with a second layer of conductors thereon;
FIG. 5 illustrates a single layer of interconnections; and
FIG. 6 illustrates a fuse link connection from a conductor to a bond pad on the semiconductor device.
FIG. 1 illustrates a semiconductor wafer 11 with a plurality of semiconductor devices 12 formed thereon. Wafer 11 has a marginal area 13 around the edge of the wafer that is clear of devices. Test points are formed on the marginal area 13 to provide contact access to the semiconductor devices for testing and burn-in, as herein after described.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a portion of wafer 11 showing three semiconductor devices 12 having bond pads 14 thereon. Bond pads 14 are the contact for the device 12.
FIG. 3 illustrates the first step in providing a connection interface for each of the semiconductor devices 12. A first layer of interconnections are formed on the surface of the wafer, over each individual semiconductor device. The procedure is as follows. An adhesive, such as thermal plastic, is applied over the wafer, and then a dielectric material, such as polyimide, is applied over the adhesive. The dielectric is then patterned to provide an opening over each bond pad 14. A layer of a first metal such as TiW is applied over the dielectric and then a second metal is applied, such as copper. The metal layer is then patterned and etched to form the fuse link conductors 15, exposed conductors that can be cut open later to isolate the shorted devices. Each conductor 15 is connected at one end to a device bond pad 14. On the other end of each conductor 15, opposite the end connected to the device bond pad, is formed via pad 16.
FIG. 4 illustrates the second step in providing a connection interface for each semiconductor device on wafer 11. Continuing the process, a dielectric is applied over the wafer, covering conductors 15 and via pads 16. Via patterns are etched on the polyimide. A second layer of metal is applied over the dielectric, for example a layer of TiW followed by a layer of copper. The second layer of metal is patterned and etched to form interconnection conductors 17. The polyimide is also etched during this masking step to expose part of conductors 15 (not illustrated). Each of these conductors connects the via pads on each device in a particular column. For example, a conductor connecting to a via pad is connected by conductor 15 to a respective bond pad on each device. For example, conductor 17a is connected to bond pads P1, P2 and P3 by a respective conductor 15 and via pad 16. Each conductor 17 is connected to a test point 18 located in the non-patterned area 13 of wafer 11.
A preliminary test of the devices on the wafer may have located inoperable devices. The inoperable device is electrically isolated by cutting connector 15 of a device by, for example, a laser beam. After preliminary test, for opens and shorts, the remaining devices are subjected to a burn-in to determine if there are additional defective devices. After burn-in and preliminary test, the two layers of conductors 15 and 17 are removed, and the wafer divided into individual devices for further assembly.
FIG. 5 illustrates a second embodiment of the invention where a single layer of interconnections is used. A layer of insulating material is applied over the wafer and each device thereon. A plurality of interconnections 20 are formed thereon with each interconnection 20 being connected to the same respective bond pad 14 on each device in row of devices. This interconnect system is practical if there are no shorts on any of the devices on the wafer. If there are shorts, and it is required to isolate the shorted devices, then a fuse link structure is needed. Between the interconnection 20, and the bond pad 14 on the device, is a fuse link 21 (FIG. 6). Each interconnection has a test pad contact 22 located around the edge 13 of wafer 11 (FIG. 1).
The test and burn-in procedure for the embodiment of FIG. 5 is the same as the procedure for the embodiment in FIGS. 4 and 5. Preliminary test is made for defective devices. Defective devices are electrically isolated by opening fuse link 21. Burn-in and test procedures are then processed, after which the wafer is divided into the individual devices for further assembly.
One advantage of the interconnection system of the invention is that preliminary test may be made in parallel prior to dividing the wafer into the individual devices, and that the interconnection may then be removed for final individual device assembly and test. To test devices in wafer form, it is necessary to contact the "output" pin(s) of each device. This is accomplished by the use of a probe card or an additional metal layer that connects the output pins to a more convenient location on the wafer.

Cudahy Carolers find heart of holiday, aina hey?
In the best of many wonderful moments in "A Cudahy Caroler Christmas," Alison Mary Forbes makes her appearance as Trixie, a mousy librarian auditioning for Stasch Zielinski's Cudahy choir.
Trixie can't sing a note - until downing half a bottle of mango-peach schnapps. Suitably fortified, the real Trixie moves into a clothes-shucking burlesque routine that liberates her body and unleashes Forbes' amazing voice. Forbes may be singing a sadistic librarian's fantasy about torturing patrons, but her Trixie is also gloriously - and uproariously - free. »Read Full Article(3)

We've previously written about the 2012 meningitis outbreak caused by contaminated drugs originating from the New England Compounding Pharmacy (NECC). The meningitis outbreak from these tainted steroids was linked to 64 deaths and hundreds of injuries. The outbreak was severe enough to prompt the creation of a slew of new FDA regulations on compounding pharmacies and more thorough enforcement of previous regulations. Sadly, compounding pharmacies that choose to operate at subpar standards still exist. On the bright side, the initial case against NECC is finally coming to a close and the victims of this horrible tragedy are, at last, getting some justice.
The trustee of the now bankrupt NECC announced on May 6, 2014 that it had reached a settlement in the case to the tune of $100 million dollars. The money for the settlement will be contributed by the owners of the company, the company's insurance provider, and from the potential sale of a sister company which will hopefully be enough to raise the remainder. The official announcement marks the end of almost two years of settlement negotiations with the pharmacy. While the settlement is not yet finalized, there are hopes on both sides that it will be approved by a judge by the end of this year. If it is, victims of the tainted drug may be able to look forward to payments in 2015.
While this settlement will end all claims against the New England Compounding Pharmacy, it is by no means the end of the litigation as a whole. There are still other named defendants in relation to the outbreak. For example, the victims and their attorneys will continue litigation against the companies which may partially be responsible for the subpar conditions and terrible maintenance at the NECC facility. The United States Attorneys' Office is also still investigating the tainted drugs and may consider bringing criminal charges against those responsible.
The settlement, while possibly falling short of compensating the victims in a meaningful way, is still at least some good news. This is especially true when considering that the victims were able to salvage $100 million from a company that declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. While the case may be finally coming to an end for the victims of the tainted drug from the New England Compounding Pharmacy, other compounding pharmacies are still being caught for operating below FDA standards. At the very least, this settlement will hopefully send a message to these lawbreakers that dirty and unsafe facilities will not be tolerated in the United States and that there will be a high price tag attached if they continue to produce tainted drugs.

Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway has hailed Tottenham's handling of the Gareth Bale saga.
Ollie wrote in the Sunday Mirror: "For a start, it was a brilliant bit of strategy for Tottenham to go out and spend the money they will be Âcollecting from Real Madrid BEFORE the world-record sale was concluded.
"If everybody knows you have buckets of money swilling around, then the asking prices go through the roof.
"And have you looked at the quality Spurs have been bringing in?
"Roberto ÂSoldado, Etienne ÂCapoue, Paulinho – these are top players who can have an impact in Premier League games, and that's prior to tying up some Âothers before the deadline."

Fable Anniversary lead designer leaves Lionhead Studios
Posted on April 16, 2014 AT 01:00pm
Fable Anniversary lead designer Ted Timmins is leaving Lionhead Studios after climbing through their ranks over the course of a decade, he announced on Twitter.
"I've decided to leave Lionhead. This was a really tough decision, as I've had such an amazing time here," Timmins wrote in a series of tweets. "Lionhead has been such an integral part of my life, more than 1/3rd of it infact! Which is why it's a good time for change."
In 2004, Timmins started his career at Lionhead by serving as a tester on the original Fable. He went on to do scripting work for Fable II and III, design work on Fable: the Journey, served as lead desiger on Fable Heroes and Fable Anniversary. According to his Twitter bio, Timmins was also the Fable franchise manager.
Fable Anniversary launched on Xbox 360 earlier this year on February 4. According to Ray's review, the Xbox 360 update "still has some charming elements," but for the most part "shows its age."

A University of Utah committee investigating reports that a Salt Lake City fertility clinic worker artificially inseminated a patient with his own sperm called the action "unacceptable" on Thursday, but said it could not determine whether the switch was intentional.
Practices at two now-closed Salt Lake-area clinics came into question last year when Pamela Branum, who was artificially inseminated at Reproductive Medical Technologies Inc, claimed genetic testing revealed that, instead of her husband, a lab technician had fathered their daughter in the early 1990s.
The technician, Tom Lippert, has since died.
The committee of three university physicians, tasked with reviewing the case and making recommendations to the institution, said in a report released on Thursday that it was unclear how the Branum switch occurred or whether it was accidental or done on purpose.
"Either explanation is unacceptable from the perspective of the committee and, presumably, the Branums and any other couples who might be similarly affected," the report said.
Lippert, who had a criminal record, was hired without a background check in 1988 and worked part-time at both RMT and the Community Lab, the report said. He was also a registered sperm donor at the clinics and frequently supplied samples.
Lippert, considered a good worker by some but a problem employee by others, left the job in 1993 for unknown reasons and died six years later, the report said.
Sean Mulvihill, M.D., associate vice president for clinical affairs and CEO of the University of Utah Medical Group, apologized to the Branums for the swap on behalf of the University this week.
"No family should have to go through something like this, and we are deeply sorry for the stress and uncertainty this has caused their family," Mulvihill said in a written statement.
In its report, the committee suggested that the institution continue to offer free paternity testing for one to two years to former clients concerned about their procedures.
The university said it had tested five people through an independent laboratory since January to try to determine whether Lippert had fathered any additional children.
The testing did not link Lippert to more offspring but did uncover a case where a child conceived by an anonymous sperm bank donor at one of the now-defunct clinics was not the donor selected by the family, the university said.
The university said it was investigating that case as well.

The CWC proposal to divide the State appears to have cast its shadow on the annual Ganesh Nimajjanam (immersion) in the Krishna River. Till last year, the banks of the river saw devotees from all over the State converging to celebrate the immersion festivity with devotion and religious fervour.
Devotees from Telangana region abutting Krishna District used to celebrate Ganesh Immersion at Krishna River, but this year the flow is sporadic and limited to a few. Many devotees from Khammam, Warangal, Nalgonda, Hyderabad, Rangareddy and Medak districts used to bring some hundreds of Ganesh idols of different sizes to Krishna River every year.
The Utsav Committee members preferred to stay limited to the nearby streams, anticipating trouble.
Good sentiment
"People from the neighbouring districts in Telangana area used to throng Krishna district for immersion every year as devotees believe that it was a good fortune to perform 'Nimajjanam', in Krishna River, which was the abode Sri Durga Malleswara Swamy Devastanam.
Now, we do not see any procession from Telangana districts," said a devotee T. Prabhakar of Mylavaram in Krishna District.
Apart from Vijayawada, police used to arrange bandobust for the idols coming from Sattupalli, Madhira and Khammam and other places every year.
"Nearly, 500 Ganeshas used to arrive from Telangana districts at Ibrahimpatnam Ferry and Durga Ghat in Vijayawada for 'Nimajjanam'. Later, the devotees would have a darshan of Goddess Kanakadurga atop Indrekeeladri and perform 'pujas'.
We feel that the devotees are not coming to Andhra area anticipating trouble", said a police who is on bandobust duty for Ganesh Nimajjanam at Krishna river.
"It is very pathetic, that the bifurcation issue had separated us in this way. Last year, the Utsav Committee members from Khammam and Warangal districts thronged with colourful idols and performed cultural programmes in our village.
We exchanged 'prasadams' and celebrated the festival together, but this year we have not enjoyed the festivity of Vinayaka Chaturthi in its true integrated sense", said a Seshamma of G. Konduru village.

PTSD Diagnosis is First Hurdle for Disabled Veterans, West Virginia Veterans' Benefits Attorney Says
Recent news report shows that obtaining a post-traumatic stress disorder diagnosis may be difficult for some Veterans, according to Parkersburg disability benefits lawyer Jan Dils of Jan Dils, Attorneys at Law, L.C.
Parkersburg, WV (PRWEB) March 09, 2012
A recent news report highlights a problem faced by many Veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, West Virginia Veterans´ benefits attorney Jan Dils said today.
According to the Seattle Times, a team of forensic psychiatrists at an in-state Army medical facility in Washington State misdiagnosed a group of 14 soldiers. The Walter Reed National Military Medical Center reviewed the soldiers´ files and overturned the diagnoses. Six soldiers were reclassified as having PTSD and eight others with behavioral health disorders.
Dils, whose law firm handles Veterans´ disability claims, said it is not necessarily simple for servicemen and women with PTSD to obtain the ratings they need from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to qualify for appropriate benefits.
That´s why an accurate initial PTSD diagnosis is important, Dils said. Her law firm, Jan Dils, Attorneys at Law, L.C., recently posted a series on PTSD and the VA rating system on its Veterans´ Disability Blog.
"The VA outlines very specific criteria and symptoms that must be evident to determine a soldiers´ degree of impairment. There also must be evidence that the PTSD resulted from a service-connected event," the Parkersburg disability benefits attorney explained.
"It can be difficult for disabled Veterans to collect the documents they need to substantiate their claims. That´s where getting the help of a qualified Veterans´ claims attorney can be useful."
PTSD is an anxiety disorder that causes changes in a person´s physical and mental behavior. These changes can include the inability to work, irritability and isolation. Other symptoms include memory loss, hallucinations, angry outbursts and suicidal or homicidal thoughts.
A Veteran diagnosed with PTSD may be eligible to receive VA disability benefits if the Veteran´s claim is approved. These monthly benefits can include compensation, health insurance and other services to both the Veteran and his or her family.
"The amount of compensation is determined by where the disabled Veteran falls on the rating scale," Dils said. "An attorney can help collect the information necessary to help secure the proper rating and help the Veteran if a VA decision needs to be appealed.
"These are people who suffered a great deal while serving our country. Our lawyers see it as their duty to make sure that Veterans living with PTSD and other conditions obtain the benefits they deserve for their sacrifice."
About Jan Dils, Attorneys at Law, L.C.
Jan Dils, Attorneys at Law, L.C., focuses exclusively on helping individuals with disabilities get the financial help they deserve from the government by seeking benefits from the Department of Veterans´ Affairs and the Social Security Administration. The firm features West Virginia offices in Charleston, Parkersburg, Huntington, Logan and Beckley and one office in Charlotte, North Carolina. To learn more about Veterans´ benefits and Social Security disability benefits, call the firm at (877) 838-3726 or use its online contact form.

"Coach Mattison told me what the Ravens were about, what he thought," Beyer said. "He definitely encouraged me. I hold his opinion in high regard."
I am so happy right now.
Seth really needs to start a new Friday feature "worst of the worst" as measured by down votes. The amazing thing to me is that the OP seriously worried this might be a reason to transfer. How anyone could spend almost two years here and still believe that is almost unbelievable but as evidenced by his responses in the thread he tried to DEFEND it.
There would be a lot to choose from this week but this one would be hard to beat.
Lets hope that he is a good freshman, understands that an older player has the number he wants, and chooses a new one.
You hear all the time about players buying their preferred number from the incumbent --usually when a star comes in through free agency. Probably does not happen like that in college, although perhaps at a school down the road that appears to use tattoos as currency it might very well work the same way...
UM "fans" that track sparty stories and games. That is not even news worthy.
He will get #27, I doubt whether he didnt choose Tennessee or auburn because 27 was already taken. I imagined him taking #32 anyways...the D-Train!
...your thread sucks.
This just in from the "Cool Story, Bro" Department:
My brother-in-law played at Mt. Union. He was telling me that their roster was so large that at one point, they had 3-4 guys wearing the same number, for most of the numbers.
This is a non-issue.
This, has ended well.
I'm not usually one to pick on a thread, but a walk-on wears the same number as a starter all the time. IIRC a walk-on receiver had the same number as Guitierrez back in 04. Ee might have been called on at any time (including garbage time) and also was the holder for field goals. It was never a problem. I can't even imagine a scenario in which a walk-on receiver sees the field at the same time as a starting (?) RB. We're good there.
carry on...
What we need here is two sides of bacon
Why is this a thread?
Dammit you made edits before I can ridicule. Suffice to say guys on the scout team change their numbers all the damn time. You'll note that 11 is not the 2nd, not the 3rd, not the 4th, but the 5th number Kovacs has worn in his Michigan career, according to him. I don't have all of them in front of me but there was one number he wore when trying out in 2008, one number when trying out in 2009, and then he was wearing 22 going into the 2009 season. He switched to 32 after his first game, and because of this his coaches got him confused with another walk-on who'd been wearing that number.

Wrestling over wages
Paying a decent living wage for hotel workers in San Diego wouldn't even put a scratch in our tourist trade and the additional money it would circulate into our economy would be a real benefit to the whole city, not just the workers. Hotel workers don't even come close to earning enough money to live with independence here. The lack of health benefits is a drag on county and state budgets and raise health care costs for all of us. Fair is fair; an $8 billion per annum industry can afford it. – Richard Dimatteo, San Diego
The claim that San Diego's downtown hoteliers benefit the local economy should be tempered by the fact that many of their employees aren't paid enough to live self-sufficiently.
CPI's latest analysis of Census Bureau data found that the median earnings in the tourism industry in San Diego County were $24,400 a year for full-time work. That means half the workers make even less.
Some of our hotels are paying decent wages and providing affordable health care – and doing quite well. Mayor Filner is right to ask all hotels to act responsibly and provide a decent living for their employees, our neighbors. – Susan Duerksen, communications director, Center on Policy Initiatives, San Diego
I cannot believe the hotel industry could even think of asking the city of San Diego to pay their bills! I pay my bills; why shouldn't they? Why does the hotel industry think they are the only ones entitled to earn a decent wage and make a profit? This country is suffering and they want to add to it, not be part of the fix. – P. Gayle Chenoweth, San Diego
I am so distressed every time I learn that people who work hard in the hospitality/tourism industry are paid so very low. San Diego economists define and recognize the hospitality/tourism industry as one of our chief economic clusters – yet the wages cannot support people to live in an area where the cost of living is so high.
If Mayor Filner is proposing to end poverty wages, I support him. – Nancy M. Davis, El Cajon
Mayor Filner is negotiating with the tough special interests groups of downtown hotel owners that have become too comfortable. It's time these hoteliers do right by this city and pay a livable wage. – Angelica Godinez, San Diego
Hotels are a big part of San Diego's tourism industry, which pays the lowest wages, on average, of all San Diego's major industries. That's part of the reason one in three families in the county lives in economic hardship.
Until you pay living wages, the hotel tax should go to the city with no share for the hotels. – Patricia Atencio, Santee
Eight dollars an hour is not a livable wage, it is a poverty wage! Workers deserve respect; they are the people that make it possible for businesses to prosper. Workers should be paid a decent wage of at least $15 an hour. An employer's decision to pay better wages will not only affect the workers, but also their children, and rest of family. – Manuel Enriquez, Chula Vista

Dad's wish would not come true for a number of miles. The road got even twistier and narrower!! I didn't think it was possible. But, yes, actually it was. My Benchmark Atlas has a note by this section of road, "Single lane road with NO turnouts." Accurate.
I think it went more like, "I give up! You win! God I just want a piece of straight open highway..."
Sounded just like Ewan McGregor as he's riding some of the most epic terrain in Mongolia, "Whatever happened to just a bit of tarmac, you know, just a little bit of asphalt? And what happened to third, fourth, fifth and sixth gears? Whatever happened to dry clothes? Whatever happened to being able to sit on a motorbike without falling off it?"
Different strokes for different folks. I could sit on my bike in several positions since I could put my feet on the highway pegs, normal pegs, or lay down like a rice rocket and put my feet on the passenger pegs. It didn't matter. My back hurt in every position. Unless the road was twisty, then I was fully concentrated on trying to brake later and hold more speed through the corners. It was the only place I could hold off the Tiger and also the only place that could keep my mind off the constant pain and fatigue in my back. Once the road straightened out I might accelerate up to 85 or 90, but the KLX is just tapped out and screaming at that point and I back off to a more comfortable speed. The straight open road was the worst for me, and here Dad is begging for it

In this paper, we present an approach to scalable co-scheduling in distributed computing for complex sets of interrelated tasks (jobs). The scalability means that schedules are formed for job models with various levels of task granularity, data replication policies, and the processor resource and memory can be upgraded. The necessity of guaranteed job execution at the required quality of service causes taking into account the distributed environment dynamics, namely, changes in the number of jobs for servicing, volumes of computations, possible failures of processor nodes, etc. As a consequence, in the general case, a set of versions of scheduling, or a strategy, is required instead of a single version. We propose a scalable model of scheduling based on multicriteria strategies. The choice of the specific schedule depends on the load level of the resource dynamics and is formed as a resource query which is sent to a local batch-job management system.

"The issue in the present case no doubt is challenging and important, but it is not one which, in my view, justifies heavy-handed judicial intervention ahead of democratic change," Judge Quentin Loh said in his verdict. "To my mind, defining moral issues need time to evolve and are best left to the legislature to resolve," he added.
The law dates back to British colonial rule in Singapore and carries a maximum penalty of two years in jail for homosexual acts. While the provision has not been enforced actively by Singapore authorities against men who engage in consensual sex in private, it has become a lightning rod for activists pushing for social reform in the affluent nation.
Two male partners who launched the petition — graphic designers Gary Lim, 44, and Kenneth Chee, 37 — now have the option to take the case to the Court of Appeal, the highest judicial body. A second petition questioning the constitutionality of the provision is still pending before the same court, but activists are not optimistic.
Jean Chong, co-founder of lesbian activist group Sayoni, said she was "disappointed and outraged" by the court's decision. "377A doesn't just criminalise gay men. It justifies a wide range of abusive behaviours and institutionalises discrimination against LGBT people. It sends the wrong signal to the world that Singapore is a backward and regressive state," she told AFP.

Scott Haynes, College Football Senior Editor
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) -
Below is a compilation of The Sports Network's predictions for the top games in Week 9 of the college football season. (Detailed previews for each game can be found by following the "Top 25 scoreboard" link within the FBS college football section of sportsnetwork.com)
(2) Boston College (7-0) at (8) Virginia Tech (6-1), Thursday, 7:30 pm
This should be one of the better games of the year. Virginia Tech certainly has the homefield advantage in this one, as Lane Stadium is a tough place for any team to come in and leave with a victory. However, Matt Ryan is as poised a QB as there is in the nation, and he will find a way to move the chains enough to put a couple of scores on the board. With a shutdown defense of their own, the Eagles should be able to prevail in this one.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Boston College 20, Virginia Tech 13
- Scott Haynes
(6) West Virginia (6-1) at (25) Rutgers (5-2), Saturday, 12 pm
This is obviously a huge game for both teams, as the winner will have the inside track to the Big East title. Both clubs are well-coached and balanced, and each will surely lean on its big time tailback. With the support of their home crowd, expect the Knights to pull out another narrow win behind the power running of Ray Rice.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Rutgers 34, West Virginia 31
- Ralph Lauro
Mississippi State (4-4) at (14) Kentucky (6-2), Saturday, 12:30 pm
Kentucky is clearly a better team than Mississippi State, and will prove it this weekend. Andre Woodson will pad his already gaudy stats as he continues to audition for NFL clubs.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Kentucky 41, Mississippi State 13
- Pat Taggart
Iowa State (1-7) at (13) Missouri (6-1), Saturday, 2 pm
There is no reason to believe that Iowa State can win this game on the road. Expect the Tigers to jump on top early and never look back.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Missouri 31, Iowa State 10
(9) U-S-C (6-1) at (5) Oregon (6-1), Saturday, 3 pm
The Trojans are still the team to beat in the Pac-10, regardless of the conference standings right now. The better offense resides in Eugene, while the better defense comes to town with USC. This is a huge opportunity for Dennis Dixon and Jonathan Stewart to show the nation what they are made of. Behind the potent duo, Oregon will find a way to get the victory and in the process, all but end the reign of dominance for the Trojans in-conference.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Oregon 33, USC 30
(11) South Florida (6-1) at Connecticut (6-1), Saturday, 3:30 pm
Each team relies on its defense a good amount and that should make for a hard-fought and low-scoring affair. USF though, has more weapons on offense and defense and it should be able to get past a UConn team that hasn't been tested much thus far.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: South Florida 27, Connecticut 13
(20) Georgia (5-2) vs. (9) Florida (5-2), Saturday, 3:30 pm
Expect the Gators to continue their dominance over the Bulldogs with another victory this weekend. Tim Tebow will outplay Stafford, and the Gators will put forth a strong defensive effort after last weekend's struggles.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Florida 31, Georgia 14
Minnesota (1-7) at (19) Michigan (6-2), Saturday, 3:30 pm
Don't expect this game to be close, as Michigan will put up huge offensive numbers with or without Mike Hart. The Wolverines should be comfortably ahead by intermission.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Michigan 42, Minnesota 17
Nebraska (4-4) at (17) Texas (6-2), Saturday, 3:30 pm
It will be interesting to see how Nebraska responds after three straight ugly losses and the shakeup in the A.D.'s office. Texas is the smart pick, as the hometown crowd will fuel the 'Horns to victory.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Texas 34, Nebraska 17
(21) Virginia (7-1) at NC State (2-5), Saturday, 4:30 pm
At some point an opponent is going to make the Cavaliers pay for playing so many close games, but NC State is not that team this week. Expect Jameel Sewell to carry Virginia, or more precisely, push it to a win with his leadership.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Virginia 31, NC State 17
- Gregg Xenakes
Ole Miss (2-6) at (23) Auburn (5-3), Saturday, 6 pm
Expect Auburn to take care of business in front of the home crowd. After getting crushed on their home field last weekend, it is hard to imagine the Rebels entering this weekend's tilt with much confidence.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Auburn 31, Ole Miss 13
(12) Kansas (7-0) at Texas A&M (6-2), Saturday, 7 pm
Everyone is waiting for Kansas to come back to Earth and lose a game, and this will be the week it happens. Texas A&M will get a ton of support from the hometown crowd, and the Aggies actually have the type of ground attack that can challenge one of the nation's premier defensive units. Expect a thriller.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Texas A&M 23, Kansas 20
(15) South Carolina (6-2) at Tennessee (4-3), Saturday, 7:45 pm
Expect a close game from start to finish, as South Carolina and Tennessee are evenly matched. The Vols have their problems on defense, but the Gamecocks aren't exactly explosive offensively. Give a narrow edge to the home team.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Tennessee 27, South Carolina 24
(1) Ohio State (8-0) at (24) Penn State (6-2), Saturday, 8 pm
Penn State has won all five of its home games by 20 or more points. Still, the Buckeyes have to be considered the favorite this week despite the difficulty of playing the Nittany Lions on the road. Expect this game to be the best of the college football weekend.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Ohio State 20, Penn State 17
(18) California (5-2) at (7) Arizona State (7-0), Saturday, 10 pm
The Golden Bears have certainly played the tougher competition to date, but with that said, the Sun Devils are for real. Performing well in a marquee matchup is something that could propel ASU to an improbable Pac-10 crown.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Arizona State 31, California 23
New Mexico State (4-4) at (16) Hawaii (7-0), Saturday, 11:59 pm
The return of quarterback Chase Holbrook is certainly reason to give New Mexico State a fighting chance in this game, but take wideout Chris Williams out of the equation and the Aggies just might find themselves on the losing end of another meeting similar to that of the Boise State affair.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Hawaii 51, New Mexico State 27

Portal Pinball is awesome!
I now cannot use sides of screen to trigger the flippers since latest update. Instead, this activates the tilt function which loses you the game. The way I hold my phone when playing used to work fine but not note. Game would have got 5 stars from me based on countless hours played so far before latest update.
Its really good
In my opinion the best pinball app out there!
This is a great game
Would be nice to have more than one level though. Maybe if you could unlock some by playing that would inspire more to play
I theink it is 3D!

I am temporarily taking a break from writing Connections. During this hiatus, I recommend that interested people, for now, read back issues found on my website. - Barbara
Lay and ordained Connections readers say, "Connections is inspiring, positive, challenging, insightful, informative, clear, concise, useful, fresh, and easy to read."
Connections is a four-page monthly letter written and published by Barbara Wendland, a lay United Methodist. Barbara is urging church members…
- to continually reevaluate their religious beliefs, their understanding of God, their understanding of the church's purpose, and their churches' effectiveness in carrying out that purpose
- to revise their beliefs and their churches' methods when new insight or information seems to make revision necessary
- to focus on today rather than yesterday, and on earthly life rather than an unknown afterlife
- to notice how their personal lives, their churches, and their world differ from what Jesus advocated
- to take initiative and action to help make their personal lives, the institutional church, and the world more like what Jesus described
- to talk openly in the church about how the teaching of Jesus may apply to current issues and about how the church needs to exemplify and promote adherence to that teaching.
Lay and ordained readers of Connections say, "Connections is inspiring, positive, challenging, insightful, informative, clear, concise, useful, fresh, and easy to read.
Wendland is neither a church employee nor a clergy spouse, so she is free to say openly what they usually are not.
Barbara has a theology degree, years of personal reading and study about religion and the church, and wide involvement in the church, helping her to see and say what many lay church members can't.
In Connections, Barbara takes on one sacred cow after another.
Wendland is saying what many other laity and many clergy would like to say, and she says it clearly in conversational language.
Lay and ordained Connections readers say, "Connections is inspiring, positive, challenging, insightful, informative, clear, concise, useful, fresh, and easy to read."

Barbara, your new website is right on target. My wife and I have been faitfhul readers for years, and you never cease to amaze us with your insight, compassion, and forthrightness of what the Christian Church is all about and what it should be about. As you know, we have even traveled scores of milies to personally share in your outstanding lectures. As for your age and the age of your husband, Velma and I are gratefully your seniors by several years. I guess us seniors are always endeavoring to discover our new and different roles for the ever changing times. Prayers my friend.
Hi Barbara. I had to take a moment and share with you my joy with your new website. The website is clean, fresh, easy to navigate, unintimidating, beautifully designed, and houses a plethora of wisdom material. It's really very nice. Thank you for your hard work and for providing such a valuable resource.
Reading this gives me hope! I would like to receive your Connections. Thank you.

I like to believe we all have good intentions on here.. looking for the same thing.. A best friend, other half, piece to the puzzle, the ying to my yang.. Is this the right way to go about it? Not sure. But I'd say there are worse things than online dating. It hasn't worked for me yet but I stay hopeful :) I come from a huge family. Kinda like the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Only difference, I'm not Greek. I'm a child of the UN. Egyptian/French/Filipino. It's fun, a lot of good food and crazy people. Love them all to pieces! I'm educated, passionate about my career, independent, selfless, caring, and I'm just looking for my equal. I'm attracted to the Italian/Mediterranean look. Of course looks aren't everything but attraction needs to be there. I enjoy good conversation. Someone who can comfortably communicate feelings, has ambitions and goals, has a steady career, wants a family of his own one day, stays in shape.. Looking for the whole package! I'm ready to fall in love and share my life with someone. Just not easy finding the right one! If any of this sounds like it makes sense, say Hi :) Good luck ya'll! **I appreciate if you all pay attention to the type of person I'm looking for. Getting too much filtered mail from people 10 years older than me is getting frustrating. Just won't work..

The 23-year-old goal shoot is the tallest player in the
league at 1.98m and has previously been linked with the
Adelaide Thunderbirds.
Instead she will provide a towering presence for the Steel,
who have lost veteran shooter Donna Wilkins to the Central
"The Steel presented itself and I know the Steel is a good
team so I am excited to represent them," said Fowler, who
stands 2cm taller than compatriot and Queensland Firebirds
star shooter Romelda Aiken.
"Our club league is not that strong in Jamaica so to play in
the ANZ Championship is an opportunity that will not only
benefit me but also netball in my country through the
knowledge I can share."
Fowler will move to Invercargill in January ahead of their
pre-season training and said she had no qualms about shifting
from Kingston to the considerably colder climate of New
Zealand's deep south.
"I have looked Invercargill up on the internet and I know
it's very beautiful. It's going to be hard adjusting to
living somewhere new for the first couple of months but I am
excited for the opportunity."
Fowler spent last week in Auckland competing at the Fast5
netball world series, where Jamaica were eliminated in the
semi-finals on Sunday by eventual champions New Zealand.

Bond's car collection comes to London
Aston Martin descends on the capital to celebrate 007's rather special stash…
Posted: 24 Mar 2014
If you saw Hammond's tribute to the cars of James Bond last year, you'll be familiar with the exhibition's lineup. It's called 'Bond in Motion', and features an incredible array of cars actually used in the James Bond canon; things like the decapitated Renault 11 TXE from A View To A Kill, and the little Tuk-Tuk from Octopussy.
But by the time Shirley Bassey was belting out Goldfinger in the 60s, Connery was in a DB5. So, sitting pride of place in the museum is BMT 214A; one of the original DB5s used in the films, and the most endearing, popular and recognisable of all the James Bond cars. It's quite a thing, too.

They are funded by the National Medicinal Plants Board
Eighty acres have been earmarked for plantation of Ashoka
A sum of Rs. 5.6 crore has been sanctioned for the projects
Bangalore: The Ashoka tree (Saraca asoca) and nine other medicinal plants, many of them endangered, will be the focus of a special five-year conservation programme of the Forest Department, which will launch three projects in Karnataka to protect and develop them.
The Kudremukh National Park, one of the natural habitats of Saraca asoca, has been chosen for plantation of the species, as have areas around Karwar, Dandeli and Sirsi, according to Ravi Ralph, Chief Conservator of Forests, Headquarters.
"In all, an area of 80 acres have been earmarked for plantation of Ashoka. The Forest Department has begun preparing the field and nurseries, and planting will start in June," he said.
The projects are funded by the National Medicinal Plants Board (NMPB), which is part of the Department of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
A sum of Rs. 5.6 crore has been sanctioned for the projects, which were approved by NMPB in March, according to B.S. Sajwan, chief executive officer of NMPB.
The species were chosen for their importance to the Indian system of medicine, their demand in trade and their conservation status, Mr. Sajwan said.
The Ashoka tree — not the poplar-like trees commonly known by the same name, but the glorious flowering tree abundantly found in the Western Ghats is under threat, as are hundreds of medicinal plants, because they are over-exploited, according to Mr. Ralph.
"This is because more than 90 per cent of herbs used in traditional medicine are extracted from forest areas rather than cultivated," Mr. Ralph said.
Conserving and developing the medicinal plants were important not only to preserve biodiversity, but also to ensure that traditional medicine did not resort to the use of substitutes and adulterants, Mr. Sajwan said.
"The use of substitutes, for instance in the preparation of the Ayurvedic 'ashoka rishtam', is both illegal and inefficacious," he added.
The Forest Department will also undertake a conservation project to protect existing Saraca asoca trees in their natural habitat.
"We are now preparing inventories of the areas in the Western Ghats to study its ecology and associated species in order to develop a conservation strategy," he said. This project will also involve the conservation of two other species, Vateria indica and Coscinium fenestratum — a woody climber which is known for its anti-microbial properties.
A third project, which involves community based resource augmentation in forest and non-forest government land in Karnataka will focus on Litsea glutinosa, Premna integrifolia, Stereospermum suaveolens, Boswellia serrata Semecarpus anacardium, Pterocarpus marsupium and Pterocarpus santalinus, besides the Ashoka tree, Mr. Ralph said.
