Bob Rennie
Bob Rennie (born 1956) is a real estate marketer based in Vancouver, British Columbia. He is the owner and founder of Rennie Marketing Systems, which is Vancouver's largest real estate marketing firm.[1] He is known colloquially as the "condo king".[2] Rennie is also involved in the art community in Vancouver and throughout North America, and maintains his own art museum in Chinatown's Wing Sang building.
Bob Rennie was born in 1956 and raised in East Vancouver on East 5th. His mother was a homemaker and waitress, and his father a truck driver for Carling Brewery. Rennie started selling East Side homes at the age of 19. He began selling condos in Vancouver in 1990 with Dan Ulinder, forming Ulinder Rennie Project Marketing. In 1997 Rennie bought out Ulinder and established Rennie Marketing Systems.[3]
Bob Rennie lives in Vancouver with his family, including his son Kris Rennie who is active in the Vancouver development scene.[4]
He has marketed such projects as Fairmont Pacific Rim, Living Shangri-La (Vancouver's tallest tower) and Vancouver's 2010 Olympic Village. Other projects include the Woodward's Building and One Wall Centre.
Rennie Collection[edit]
Rennie Collection, one of the largest collections of contemporary art in Canada, has evolved since 1972, when the first acquisition was made, to focus on works related to identity, social injustice, appropriation, painting and photography. The collection is dedicated not only to the acquisition of established international artists, but also the work of emerging artists. Currently there are approximately 40 artists collected in depth with about 200 artists in total. The collection, while based in Vancouver is usually spread across the globe, on loan to institutions like Guggenheim Museum New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Centre Georges Pompidou, Smithsonian and Tate, amongst many others.[3]
Rennie chairs the North America Acquisitions Committee (NAAC) at Tate Museum in London,[5]is a member of the Tate International Council and sits on the Dean's Advisory Board to the Faculty of Arts at the University of British Columbia (since 2006). In recognition of his dedication to the arts and the arts community, he received an honorary doctorate of letters from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2008, and was appointed to the university's Board of Governors in 2009.
The Wing Sang Building[edit]
Rennie has a museum in Chinatown's Wing Sang building, the oldest (1889) building in Chinatown. Four years and over $10 million[6] were spent renovating the building to transform the heritage landmark into an exhibit space for the Rennie Collection, open to the public free of charge two days per week. On top of the museum is an art piece by world-renowned artist Martin Creed, "EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT" (Work No 850). The only Dan Graham pavilion in Canada also sits on the roof of the museum.
Creed's installation inspired the title of Julia Kwan's 2014 documentary film about Chinatown, Everything Will Be, in which Rennie is interviewed.[7][8]
Rennie and the Vancouver Art Gallery[edit]
Rennie is a vocal opponent to the proposed move of the Vancouver Art Gallery from the current location in Robson Square to a newly constructed building on the city-owned Larwill Park (formerly the bus depot) next to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. He questions the fiscal responsibility of the move, estimated to cost $400 million, as well as the plan to hire an international architect.[9]
Rennie has been criticized for trying to gentrify Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, one of the poorest communities in Canada, with the Woodward's Building project, which includes 536 condominiums and 200 non-market homes. Critics said that the project pushed residents out and increased rent for the neediest members of the city.[10]
Rennie is also the marketer for condominiums at the former 2010 Olympic Village, a project that has been the subject of controversy and extensive media attention around the project's financial challenges for several years.[11]
Since 2004, he has accumulated over two hundred parking tickets, of which he refers to as "the cost of being busy",[12]all of which have been paid.
Charitable causes[edit]
In 2012, Rennie made a major contribution to the National Gallery of Canada with his donation of Brian Jungen's 2004 artwork Court. Consisting of 210-240 factory sewing tabletops repainted to look like a basketball court, the work has previously never been shown in Canada.[13]
As well as his extensive work with museums and art-related organizations, Rennie sits on the board for the Streetohome Foundation, a local organization that aims to help ensure the homeless in Vancouver have access to safe, decent, affordable housing and support services. The project has raised $26 million to date and resulted in the building of 1000 non-market homes. Rennie is also a noted supporter of Vancouver General Hospital.
Rennie is consistently listed in Vancouver Magazine's annual Power 50; in 2011 he was named No. 8.[14] In 2002 he was a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal, and in 2012 the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, both of which are awarded to Canadians who have made a significant contribution to their fellow citizens, their community, or to Canada. Simon Fraser University awarded him the 2012 Chancellor's Distinguished Service Award, "for his role in bringing the Woodward's redevelopment—and SFU's new home for the School for the Contemporary Arts—to fruition."[15]

Green Acres: Lost in the Amazon
Roughly 4,000 miles long and home to more than 10 percent of the world's species of flora and fauna, the Amazon contains the largest river system in the world, holding about 15 percent of the earth's river water, expelling 57 million gallons per second. The main trunk and tributaries have been modified over the centuries with canals, footpaths and, increasingly, roads transforming nature's baroque into human rococo, weaving an already bedazzling ecology of waterways and flood plains into an even more intricate set of nested trading systems, connecting nine of South America's thirteen countries and, via Venezuela's Orinoco River, numerous Caribbean nations. Yet compared with the industrial Mississippi, the Amazon, despite its grandeur, remains today largely an artisanal river. Its pilots rely on a lifetime of experience to navigate shifting sandbars, fast-changing depths and a powerful tidal bore that rushes ten miles upriver with a roar described by an early twentieth-century traveler as a "regiment of light artillery on the stampede," leaving the largest of ships aground in its wake. And unlike the delta of the Mississippi, which over the past two centuries has been reduced from a patchwork of barely navigable bayous, islands, sandbars and estuaries to a rationalized sluice, the Amazon's terminus remains variegated, with many metamorphosing routes in and out.
Size is one of Amazonia's wonders; it's common to point out that its total landmass is just smaller than the continental United States. But a more useful way to explain its thrall is to think of it as the United States' existential opposite. More than half a century ago Octavio Paz wrote that while all of the New World represented a rejuvenating historical force, the razor's edge of Anglo-Saxon utopianism was honed in North America's unique geography: "pure space, open to human action," which freed men from fighting "against history"--against the class divisions, feudal hierarchies and encrusted traditions that stifled Europe. They instead concentrated their struggle "against nature," formidable though ultimately pliable. Peoples and machines turned forests into farms, deserts into gardens, making the world young again. Native societies that stood in their way were cast out of history, rendered into the "evil that is outside, part of the natural world," like rivers, mountains and other obstacles that must be "domesticated or destroyed." Since "the American reality is the reinvention of itself," Paz continued, then "whatever is found in anyway irreducible or unassimilable is not American."
In contrast, the Amazon--pure space in its own way--has been America's irreducible extreme, a sinkhole enveloping desire and, from El Dorado to Z, laying waste to ambition. "There is nothing on that river but despair," wrote the sixteenth-century Basque rogue conquistador Lope de Aguirre. None other than George Frost Kennan, in a lesser known "long memo" that made the case for extending his anticommunist containment policy to Latin America, compared the dynamism of the US landscape, which allows for an "organic intimacy" with nature, with Latin America's "unhappy and hopeless" habitat. "In North America," Kennan wrote, "the Mississippi drains and serves the great basin of fertility which is the heart of the continent. The Amazon, on the other hand, reaches great fingers into a region singularly hostile to human activity." Where the United States was progress in motion, the revelation of God's will--or History's design--in the world, the Amazon's "overpowering sensation of the absolute," as the Portuguese writer José Maria Ferreira de Castro remarked, was stillness incarnate. The Brazilian jungle is the "last unwritten page of Genesis," Euclides da Cunha wrote.
Many proposals have been floated over the years to develop the Amazon and assimilate it into the United States' domain. Theodore Roosevelt, at the start of an expedition he took in 1914, imagined it reduced to yeoman pastures, its rivers providing "unlimited motive force to populous manufacturing communities," which would evolve into an "industrial civilization," in effect extending the United States' westward wave. Others thought Manifest Destiny flowed south, believing the Amazon to be an extension of the Mississippi. In the 1840s a Richmond newspaper argued that since Atlantic currents carried the Amazon's waters north into the Gulf of Mexico, the river "may very properly be regarded as one of the tributaries" to "this our noble sea," the Caribbean. A few years later, the Virginian Matthew Fontaine Maury, head of the Naval Observatory, thought the United States could avoid a civil war and keep its expanding cotton industry by purchasing the Amazon as it had Louisiana and using it to relocate planters and slaves. "How men from the Mississippi could make things hum along the Amazon," waxed another Southerner.
Is there some sort of cosmic protocol requiring that the enormity of the Amazon be accorded the due respect of outlandish schemes? During World War II, Nelson Rockefeller, as head of Franklin D. Roosevelt's Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, suggested turning the Amazon into a network of massive canals stretching from the Caribbean to Argentina and giving the United States, via the Mississippi, direct access to South America's interior markets and resources. In the 1960s neocon futurist Herman Kahn (one of the prototypes for Dr. Strangelove) proposed damming the river to create five enormous "Great Lakes," turning the area into the equivalent of South America's own industrial Midwest. Yet as each plan to tap the jungle's resources fizzled, Amazonia came to be seen as a temptress, seducing man to impose his will, only to reveal it as impotent. The jungle even broke Theodore Roosevelt. By the end of his trip, with disease eating at his flesh and despair pushing him to the point of suicide, he was reduced to chanting the opening lines of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Kubla Khan": "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan/ A stately pleasure-dome decree."
In metaphorical terms, though, the Amazon was more yielding than most places. It could be whatever you wanted it to be: a green hell, an Eden, a pleasure garden. Roosevelt thought it to be largely devoid of people, "entirely indifferent to good or evil," working "out her ends or no ends with utter disregard of pain and woe." For those readers not familiar with the theology that hell is the absence of God, the Rough Rider left little doubt as to the analogy he was drawing: he began an account of his journey with a detailed seventeen-page description of treacherous serpents. Yet at the same time, utopia always seemed to be waiting around the next bend in the river. In 1927 the New York Times reported a rumor that Fawcett had been found alive and well, living in a "veritable paradise," a bountiful land "that has no owner." The wayward Victorian had become entranced by the "sorcerous jungle and wished to know nothing more from the civilized world." Another newspaper endorsed Fawcett's reported "misanthropy" as an antidote to Jazz Age precocity and recommended sending, instead of explorers and scientists, poets and musicians to entice him back.
Fawcett's enduring appeal is that he vanished just as mass society was turning enchantment into kitsch. In their dispatches home, those who went looking for the British explorer continued to emphasize the jungle's treacheries, working the Amazon more firmly into English-speaking popular culture. Yet with more and more people living in cities, pastoral waltzes and wanderlust ballads like "River of Dreams" and "On the Dreamy Amazon" figured the valley as melancholy, not unlike contemporary odes to the Mississippi, achieving, in a way, the yearned-for confluence of the two rivers.

Designed by N H D M / Nahyun Hwang + David Eugin Moon, the Nam June Paik Library is a new public art library in Nam June Paik Art Center in Yong-In, Korea, which opened to the general public in 2011. Inspired by Nam June Paik's artistic processes, the library was designed as a multi-functional spatial device, which redefines the relationship between library users and information. While the conventional library is characterized by the one directional transmission of the static, centralized, and predefined content, this library aims to promote non-linear and random access to information, and its production beyond the consumption.

'Gwangju Swarms' Installation / NADAAA
The Gwangju Swarms installation by NADAAA was designed as part of the Urban Folly Exhibit, 2011 Gwangju Design Biennale. The installation site is characterized by a road crossing with a diverse set of scales and building types that anchor each corner, a site in transition. Inhabiting this corner, the installation is chameleonic; encrytped within the logic of the branches, a seemingly animated structure floats overhead, peeking around the corners giving body to the space that was once occupied by the city wall.

Review By Mike Chambers - November 8, 2007
The test system with the NX8800GT installed is pictured below. Note that the graphics card uses a single-slot cooling solution. Since the GeForce 8800 GT GPU can reach temperatures up to 100 °C at full load (at the default fan speed at 29%), an adequately ventilated case is an important consideration.
GPUs are designed with a number of fail safe mechanisms to prevent damage due to overheating. One line of defense is at the driver level, which can throttle clock speeds if the GPU exceeds a specific temperature. Additional safeguards are present at the hardware level through voltage regulation or the GPU can automatically shut down.

Future Puppy vs. Future Kid Dilemma...
I have a strange problem. I am most likely getting a puppy of my own soon (still a teen) and I am trying to find creative dog names. I am also obsessed with baby names in general, so my first thoughts are to turn to my name list for girls names. Here's the issue: in the distant future, when I want to have kids, would it still be plausible to use a name for a child that I already used for my dog? I adore Nylah in particular, but I also like it as a legitimate baby name... These thoughts are echoed for most of my other faves.
I thought about Jezebel, b/c I love the name, but the connotation makes it unsuitable for a kid. But I'm thinking it could still work for a dog.
Please advise about my concerns. And suggestions of creative dog names would be appreciated as well. I'm thinking I'll probably end up getting a border colie. Thanks, guys!~*~**~*Larissa~*~**~*

I wouldn't use a name that you think may be a serious contender for a future child. I think naming a pet is a great way to use guilty pleasure names, though (Jezebel would make an awesome dog name, in my opinion!). Good luck!

Verducci's obsession with Wins is quaintly reminiscent of the 1970's. Gustavo Chacin has a better chance to post an ERA over 5 than to repeat his slightly above-average performance from last season.

Hardly an adventurous list, mostly comprised of guys who've already broken out.

Make that a thing.
Because the Reds did so poorly last year on the pitching front, the always-a-year-behind press naturally figures them to suck this coming year, too. Despite the fact that several of the Reds' pitchers are set to improve considerably more than just regression-to-the-mean stuff.
Word up. What a pointless list - don't fall off the trunk, Verducci.Originally Posted by M2
Thank goodness for baseball.
I especially like Verducci's breakdown on Bonderman. I guess he won't break down again this year b/c Tom says so.
his definition of breakout is 15 wins or more for the first time in their career?
I think Harang might qualify this year

He wants guys that win 15 games and influence a pennent race. It is hard to imagine the Reds being in a pennent race next season.
Tim McCarver: Baseball Quotes
I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter, that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit.
I think next year is the year we see the All American Boy, Jack Armstrong, put it together.

Great hat
Review by Cathy C.
Overall Style Value Quality
Great hat, but the 2XL size seemed bigger than described. My father has never had a hat too big for his head until now! He loved the quality and hopes that it shrinks when he washes it so that it fits.

I had acupuncture done and honestly didn't notice a change. In fact, my pain got worse over time (and here I am searching for more information on my medical situation). Good luck to you. I bet results vary according to each person and their state of consciousness. Hope you feel better soon, either way. :)
I'm sure you're right, and, results vary per person. I'm hopeful that I'll see improvement, but, nothing so far. I'm going to try it for awhile & see what happens. Thanks for replying!
A few months ago I had severe jaw pain due to a cracked tooth which I didn't know I had. Thought is was TMJ. My neighbor is a chiro and does accupuncture. The day I had the accupuncture I was in excruciating pain. I almost cancelled the appt. I went in at 4pm and when I left his office it felt alot better but still noticed the pain. As the night went on the pain diminished and was gone the next day.
it was amazing. I suffered for weeks with this pain and in one session it was gone. My MIL also had some ear pain that also went away with accupuncture.

About the Owner
Guestbook comments from the owner
I came back in Oct and the weather was perfect for quiet mornings with coffee watching golfers and beautiful sunsets in the evening, all from the screened lanai. With the comfortable furniture and nice table & chairs we almost lived out there. Everything you need is included even if you are going to the beach. We used the jacuzzi by the pool every evening. The attractions in Sarasota, the beaches, and even St. Pete is an easy drive. The owner was very helpful and responded quickly. This is one of the most comfortable, relaxing and convenient places I have stayed.

I am moving very, very slowly through the four Gospels this year (hey, it's January, so you know I haven't gotten very far), and writing down everything Jesus said.
I want to have an up-close chronicle of what He said to do and to be in order to be His follower, to identify oneself with Him.
Last year I studied John very closely and noted everything Jesus said in regard to what one had to do to have eternal life. Short answer: repent of your sin and believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
I wanted to shift my focus this year and see what Jesus said to do while we live as aliens and sojourners on this earth before we get to our real home. I am certain that I will be shocked by how loosely I follow His commands (if I follow them at all), especially in regard to how I treat others and bear witness of Him in my life. I know, I know, I know that Christ-following can't be limited to what I don't do (although there is a lot of behavior to avoid and stay away from, of course. Hating my sin is always a good idea. All my sin is ugly sin and needs to be put to death every single day. Jesus said.).
But Christ-following is also encompassed by going, doing, speaking, being, and making (disciples).
In Matthew, we only have to get to chapter 5 before we see Jesus opening His mouth and pouring out wisdom that we could never come up with on our own. I am convinced that following His words closely--and taking Him at His word--will change how I live.
I'm tired of regular faith that walks away from the Word mostly unchanged. (Is that really faith at all?)
I want to read the Word and see my sin reflected so I can flee from my selfishness and pride (for aren't those the roots of all my sin?).
I want to read the Word and with open hands and beg the Spirit to change me. (Only He can.)
I want faith that has arms and legs, hands and feet. (In other words, faith that is active.)
This Gospel was not meant to be gathered into my heart and treasured all alone.
By definition--GOOD NEWS--it is meant to be shared.
I am writing all this down if for no other reason than to put to words what I am learning and how the Lord is using His Word to push me out of my comfortable self-contained faith, and instead to go and make disciples. It is a little terrifying.

This shelving system is ideally suited where budgets need to be managed to the maximum.
Jazz Club
An established London Jazz club was expanded to incorporate a trendy street cafe at the front, leading patrons through to the Jazz club at the rear.
The Challenge
The two areas needed to blend seamlessly, with furniture and fittings of the new space replicating and complementing the existing space. The architect was specific about how the furniture should look authentic and retro, and the established 'key' theme needed to be incorporated in an obvious and tasteful way.
The challenge was to create a harmonious retro feel, designed by 'Paul Mullins Associates'.
Our Solution
Working with quality 80mm thick solid oak, specialist finishers applied ageing techniques to the hand crafted furniture to achieve the desired authentic effect. This included the cafe counter, a 4m bench table, twelve 4 seater tables and fifty individual bench seats.
3D acrylic ceiling and wall panels incorporated the 'key' theme and ancillary items such as wine racks and fitted shelves continued the colour theme with orange acrylic providing the perfect backdrop for the stark white shelves.
A music themed feature graphic wall was installed completing the look.

Yes Glossiness pertains to specular, both 1 and 2 and it controls the size of highlight. say 10% will cover most of the surface making it all shiny, 95% will make a focused spot of highlight…this is opposite of the Daz Studio default.
Spec 1 and 2 sharpness controls how sharp the edge of the highlight is.
Spec 2 roughness adds noise (as far as I am aware) but it is one of those things that need confirming.
Diffuse Roughness is also something often overlooked. Increasing the roughness will make the surface react better with high gloss so for smooth metal I usually go for 1.20 - 1.30. For rougher surfaces like cloth I go for 0.80 - 0.90

14 October 2013 15:38 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--South Africa-based chemicals producer Sasol said on Monday that Andre de Ruyter, senior group executive for global chemicals and North American operations, is to resign.
"Andre has resigned to take up a senior executive position at another JSE [Johannesburg Stock Exchange] listed company," the company said in a statement.
De Ruyter is to join South Africa-based Nampak, according to a filing by the packaging and plastics producer on the JSE on Monday.
He is to serve as executive director and CEO-designate from 1 January 2014, and will take over as CEO on 1 April 2014, following the resignation of current CEO Andrew Marshall, Nampak said. De Ruyter will step down from Sasol as of 30 November this year. He will be succeeded by Fleetwood Grobler, current manager of Sasol's olefins and surfactants business.
The news follows the resignation of Sasol chief financial officer (CFO) and executive director Christine Ramon in September.

Third Phase and HCGby Ken Rojas - January 7th, 2015
The third phase (P3) of the HCG plan is akin to the maintenance phase of any project. A high protein day can be used as a replacement to a steak day in this phase. A high protein day or a steak day can be implemented the moment you observe an increase of more than a pound weight in a single day. This helps the dieter to keep the weight in control, making it effective. Most of the dieters prefer a higher number of protein or steak days as a part of HCG diet plan.
Most of the steak days end with the dieters feeling dissatisfied and hungry. There is no breakfast or lunch on the menu for the day, but for a steak grilled in oil. A spare apple or an orange can be added to the permitted items on a day. Water is the only beverage allowed to be drunk on a streak day. In fact, one eats a lot more items on a protein day than on a steak day.
A high protein day can be configured in several ways. Unlike the steak day, which spares mandates only one meal for the day, the protein day can afford multiples steps. Foods like boiled eggs can be eaten as breakfast on a protein day. As always, fresh water is the only beverage permitted by the diet plan. There are several high protein snacks which can be eaten throughout the protein day. The lunch can consist of fiber salad as well as grilled chicken. A small salad as well as a piece of steak can complete the menu for the day.
Other foods which can be added to the HCG phase 3 of the diet plan include bacon, steak, lean milk, beef, and turkey. One can have as many as three boiled eggs to go with the grilled chicken. Steak and lean beef can be used as supplements instead of eggs. When used, these supplements boost the protein intake by 400 percent of the daily one. One can always fall back on the turkey or ostrich burgers, should they find the required gap in the calorie chart. These burgers contribute a very minute amount of calories to the daily chart as compared to the remaining ones.
A high protein day can be as effective as a day of fasting. The dieters are able to record a huge loss of weight in a single protein day. The dieters are instructed to plan the menu in such a way that they keep eating some part of the diet every couple of hours. All the vegetables which are on the approval list of Phase 2 are automatically approved for the next phase. A high protein day can be modified to form an egg day, which basically implies that one eats dishes made of eggs for the whole day.

Improving signal quality in a high-frequency chip package by resistively connecting an open-ended plating stub to ground. One embodiment provides a multi-layer substrate for interfacing a chip with a printed circuit board. A conductive first layer provides a chip mounting location. A signal interconnect is spaced from the chip mounting location, and a signal trace extends from near the chip mounting location to the signal interconnect. A chip mounted at the chip mounting location may be connected to the signal trace by wirebonding. A plating stub extends from the signal interconnect, such as to a periphery of the substrate. A resistor is used to resistively couple the plating stub to a ground layer.
1. A multi-layer substrate for interfacing a chip with a printed circuit board, comprising:
a substrate having a first face with a central mounting location for receiving the chip;
an electronically conductive material disposed on the first face of the substrate, the electronically conductive material forming a signal interconnect spaced from the chip mounting location, a signal trace extending to the signal interconnect, and a plating stub extending from the signal interconnect toward a periphery of the substrate;
an electronically conductive ground layer that is parallel to the first face and separated from the first face by an electronically nonconductive layer; and
a resistor coupling the plating stub to the ground layer.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to signal quality in chip packages, and more specifically to reducing plating stubs reflections and resonance in high-frequency chip packages.
2. Background of the Related Art
An integrated circuit (IC), also commonly referred to as a "microchip" or "chip," is an electronic circuit comprising miniaturized semiconductor devices formed in a semiconductor substrate. Many copies of a chip may be formed on a large semiconductor wafer and then cut into individual chips, which may be interchangeably referred to in the art as "die chips" or "dies". However, semiconductor materials such as silicon are typically brittle, and chips made this way are fragile. Therefore, an individual die chip is commonly packaged on a carrier, referred to as a "chip package" or simply "package." The chip package protects the chip and provides an electrical and mechanical interface between the chip and a printed circuit board (PCB) such as a computer motherboard.
Electrical connections between a die chip and the package substrate may be made by wirebonding. Wirebonding is a process known in the art by which a very fine wire is connected from a bond pad on the chip to corresponding signal pathways ("traces") on a package substrate. Bond wires are typically formed of a highly conductive material, such as platinum, copper, aluminum alloys, doped gold, or other precious metal. A package in which a die chip is connected to the substrate by wirebonding may be referred to as a "wirebond package." The traces on the substrate extend from the location of bonding with the wirebond to signal interconnects elsewhere on the substrate.
The signal interconnects on one layer of the substrate may be electrically connected to signal interconnects on another layer of the substrate using plated through-hole connections known as "vias." Thus, for example, the signal interconnects on the face to which the chip is mounted may provide a connection between a first face of the substrate and corresponding pins of a pin grid array (PGA) or to corresponding balls of a ball grid array (BGA) on the opposing face of the substrate. The PGA or BGA may then be placed in contact with a corresponding pattern of electrical contacts on the PCB, such as a motherboard, to which the chip package is subsequently secured.
Signal traces are typically formed of commonly available materials, such as copper, that are relatively affordable and have sufficient electrical conductivity. Materials having improved electrical conductivity, including precious metals such as platinum and gold, may then be selectively applied to the substrate at locations where the expense of such materials is warranted. For example, platinum may be applied at locations along the signal traces where bond wires are to be connected. Gold is often used in the formation of signal interconnects.
These electrically conductive materials are usually applied by electroplating. In the electroplating process, a voltage is applied at or near the periphery of the package substrate, which results in open plating stubs extending from the signal interconnects to or near the periphery of the substrate. Plating stubs may hinder signal performance of the package if left intact due to reflections in the open stubs at the high operational frequencies of modern chips. A quarter-wave length resonance is particularly detrimental in high speed data transmissions.
A first example embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-layer substrate for interfacing a chip with a printed circuit board. The multi-layer substrate includes a substrate having a first face with a central mounting location for receiving the chip. An electronically conductive material is disposed on the first face of the substrate. The electronically conductive material forms a signal interconnect spaced from the chip mounting location, a signal trace extending to the signal interconnect, and a plating stub extending from the signal interconnect toward a periphery of the substrate. An electronically conductive ground layer is parallel to the first face and is separated from the first face by an electronically nonconductive layer. A resistor couples the plating stub to the ground layer.
A second example embodiment of the invention provides a chip package. The chip package includes a multi-layer substrate having a first face, an opposing second face, and a ground layer. An integrated circuit chip is secured to the first face of the substrate and includes a plurality of bond pads. A signal trace extends along the first face from the bond pads to a signal interconnect that is spaced from the chip along the first face of the substrate. The chip is placed in electronic communication with the signal trace and signal interconnect by connecting one end of a bond wire to one of the bond pads on the chip and connecting another end of the bond wire to the signal trace. A plating stub, which extends from the signal interconnect toward a periphery of the multi-layer substrate, is connected to the ground layer with a resistor. Optionally, an electrical contact is disposed along the first or second face of the substrate and is in electronic communication with the signal trace, wherein the electrical contact is configured for electrically contacting a corresponding electrical contact on a printed circuit board.
A third example embodiment of the invention provides a method, including steps of forming a signal trace in a signal layer of a multi-layer package substrate, forming an open ended plating stub as a result of forming the signal trace, and resistively coupling the open ended plating stub to a ground layer in the multi-layer package substrate.
One embodiment of the invention is a method of reducing the resonant frequency in a high-frequency chip package by terminating an open-ended plating stub with a resistor. The plating stub may be resistively coupled to ground using a thin film resistor or a discrete, surface mount (SMT) resistor. Another embodiment of the invention is a multi-layered package substrate in a high-frequency chip package, wherein an open-ended plating stub is resistively coupled to ground. Resistively coupling a plating stub to ground according to the invention provides an effective way to reduce the effects of plating stub reflections, and is more economical than other approaches to mitigating the effects of plating stubs. The invention may be applied in its various embodiments to a multitude of chip package configurations known in the art. Principles of the invention discussed in relation to the illustrated embodiments, therefore, may also be applied to configurations of a chip package other than the illustrated chip package.
Features of the package substrate 40 may be electroplated, such as the signal interconnects 46, the signal vias concentric with the signal interconnects 46, and bonding locations on the signal traces 44 where bond wires are to be attached (see
Typically, the open plating stubs 48 extend all the way from one of the signal interconnects 46 to the periphery 49 of the package substrate 40, because to perform gold plating for electrode pads on the package substrate 40, the electrode pads must be rendered conductive from the outer edge of the substrate. The plating stubs 48 are open ended because ends of the plating stubs 48 extend from the respective signal interconnects 46 to the periphery 49 without electrically connecting to another device or conductive pathway.
A myriad of possible layering configurations in a package substrate are possible. Additionally, a variety of resistor types may be selected according to different embodiments of the invention. Accordingly, a substrate incorporating resistance between a plating stub and ground, as schematically shown in
The plating stub 48A is shown in cross-section (oriented out of the page). A grounding trace 249 extends along a face 225 of the substrate 240 from the plating stub 48A to a ground via 70. The ground via 70 is also connected to the ground layer. The plating stub 48A and the grounding trace 249 may be formed by selectively etching the signal layer. The resistor 250 may be formed by etching the signal layer to remove a portion of the grounding trace 249, such that the grounding trace 249 is separated into a first portion 249A and a second portion 249B electrically connected along an exposed portion of the resistive layer. This creates an electrical pathway to the ground via 70 through the resistive layer, from the first portion 249A to the second portion 249B of the grounding trace 249. The length of the resistor 250 (and the corresponding amount of the grounding trace 249 to be removed by etching) may be selected according to the resistivity of the SIG layer on a per-unit-length basis, to achieve the desired resistance value of the resistor 250. A value of 50 ohms was achieved here, by way of example. The use of an embedded resistor instead of a discrete resistor as described herein avoids the potential addition of a noise component that can be caused by the presence of resistor leads when using a discrete resistor.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and/or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components and/or groups, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof. The terms "preferably," "preferred," "prefer," "optionally," "may," and similar terms are used to indicate that an item, condition or step being referred to is an optional (not required) feature of the invention.

Vt. nuclear plant to refuel despite uncertainty
A month later, the state Senate voted 26-4 against state relicensing.
Earlier this month, Sorrell's office determined it would not file criminal charges against Entergy officials for the misstatements about the presence of underground pipes carrying tritium.
State officials maintain the issue is one of reliability, but Entergy claims the state's concerns are about safety and federal law says safety issues can only be decided by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which in March granted the plant a 20-year license extension.
But state law requires that any electrical generator get a state certificate of public good from the Public Service Board. The state Senate voted last year to halt that process, effectively denying Vermont Yankee its certificate. The House has never acted.
Vermont Yankee is a 605-megawatt reactor in Vernon in the state's southeast corner. Entergy said Monday that during a typical 30-day refueling outage, approximately 120 fuel assemblies, or one-third of the reactor core, are replaced.
While the refueling is under way, about 5,000 other maintenance chores are performed that can be done only when the plant is shut down.

Noam Chomsky, A Simple Farmer
Today on Tablet
"Religion is based on the idea that God is an imbecile." That is one of the many things that Noam Chomsky, the legendary left-wing linguist, academic, political thinker, and activist, has to say in his interview with contributing editor David Samuels today in Tablet Magazine. Chomsky, 81, narrates his childhood attending Philadelphia's most elite Sephardic synagogue in a thoroughly cultural-Zionist milieu; explains how his revolutionary theory of generative grammar emerged from his study of Hebrew and Arabic; and offers his opinions on various facets of international affairs, including Israel's crimes and the United States's complicity in them.
Mostly what emerges is a still-fiery intellectual, ridiculously smart, whose feeling of obligation is powerful, yet also, at points, tempered by an unexpected sense of resigned, ironic self-awareness.
Did you read Nivi'im, the prophets, with your father in Hebrew?
The word "prophet" is a very bad translation of an obscure Hebrew word, navi. Nobody knows what it means. But today they'd be called dissident intellectuals. They were giving geopolitical analysis, arguing that the acts of the rulers were going to destroy society. And they condemned the acts of evil kings. They called for justice and mercy to orphans and widows and so on.
I don't want to say it was all beautiful. Dissident intellectuals aren't all beautiful. You read Sakharov, who is sometimes appalling. Or Solzhenitsyn. And the nivi'im were treated the way dissident intellectuals always are. They weren't praised. They weren't honored. They were imprisoned like Jeremiah. They were driven into the desert. They were hated. Now at the time, there were intellectuals, "prophets," who were very well treated. They were the flatterers of the court. Centuries later, they were called "false prophets."
People who criticize power in the Jewish community are regarded the way Ahab treated Elijah: You're a traitor. You've got to serve power. You can't argue that the policies that Israel is following are going to lead to its destruction, which I thought then and still do.
Did you imagine yourself as a navi, a prophet, when you were a child reading those texts alone in your room or on Friday night with your father?
Sure. In fact, my favorite prophet, then and still, is Amos. I particularly admired his comments that he's not an intellectual. I forget the Hebrew, but lo navi ela anochi lo ben navi—I'm not a prophet, I'm not the son of a prophet, I'm a simple shepherd. So he translated "prophet" correctly. He's saying, "I'm not an intellectual." He was a simple farmer and he wanted just to tell the truth. I admire that.

Sucking on tongue while kissing: hot or not?
OK So sometimes when my guy and I kiss and its getting steamy, he will stick out his tongue (french kissing I guess) but then I will get it with my... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
ima go with not hot. I understand the concept and why it might be tight, but really I think it just feels kinda weird. I just think in general, people dtm with the tongue, but that's just imho. the best thing while kissing is when she holds the back of your head and runs her fingers through your hair...only if she has nice hands tho haha
What Guys Said 6
What Girls Said 8
I like it when a guy lighly sucks the bottom of my lips... and sort of numbs it... *sigh. my guy doesn't do that :( only one guy ever did that and that was my firsst kiss :)
Have you asked him to?
yes actually I have, and he doesn't do it. I guess he just likes to stick his tongue in my mouth, which I am not a big fan of
What a shame :)
Perhaps you'll have better luck with the next one ;)
My guy sucks on my tongue and it always gets me hot! He loves it when I kiss his cheek and nibble or bite his ear. He goes crazy! Which is how I get when he sucks my tongue. I've never had a man do that to me before and it always makes me feel like a newbie!. Sucking tongue is hot, hot, hot.
Have an opinion?

Kanye West, Jay-Z take early lead at Grammy Awards

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Everybody's thinkin' about Frank Ocean — but his main competition Kanye West and Jay-Z took home two early Grammy Awards.
They won best rap song and best rap performance in the pre-telecast awards Sunday for the song "N----s in Paris" from their "Watch the Throne" collaboration, joining Skrillex, Esperanza Spalding, Chick Corea and Matt Redman atop the pre-telecast awards show toteboard.
Other early winners included Rihanna, Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Mumford & Sons.
Ocean is a cause celebre and the man with the momentum as Sunday's Grammy Awards. One of six top nominees with six nominations apiece, Ocean — the 25-year-old R&B singer turned cultural talking point — will have the music world's attention.
Skrillex arrives at the 55th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, Feb. 10, 2013, in Los Angeles. (Photo by Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP)
It remains to be seen if it will be the "Thinkin Bout You" singer's night, but there's no question he's dominated the discussion so far. Already a budding star with a gift for building buzz as well as crafting songs, Ocean was swept up by something more profound when he told fans his first love was a man last fall as he prepared to release his major-label debut, "channel ORANGE."
It was a bold move and one that could have submarined his career before it really even got started. Instead, everyone from Beyonce to the often-homophobic R&B and rap communities showed public support. It was a remarkable moment.

Chelsea ace Eden Hazard says Belgium must keep Lionel Messi quiet for their World Cup quarterfinal with Argentina.
Hazard knows there are other players to be wary of but feels Messi is by far their biggest threat and says Belgium will work on a plan to try and combat the Barcelona forward.
"We know the best player in the world is in this team, but we are not afraid," Hazard said.
"We can win. Argentina have done well, but they have one big player who can make the difference every game. If we can stop him, we have a chance, but it will not be easy.
"For me, he is the best in the world. I don't know how we can stop him, but we will watch videos and we will try to win.
"They have Angel di Maria as well, but Messi is the difference.
"I haven't played against him before and I will think about it the night before.
"But once I am on the pitch, I don't care who I play against. I do what I do, but I try to do my best."

As you may know, Whitney Port is most definitely on our list of most boring celebrities in Hollywood. And you also must know, we don't really care how boring they are when they come bearing boobtastic and booty-revealing bikinis. It's called the looks-trump-personality override instilled deep in the hardware of all man-kind millennia ago.
So when former reality star and curent fashion plate for tween girls with their parents credit cards everywhere, Whitney Port, flashed her body in Miami this weekend with her girlfriends in not one, but two different bikinis, well who cares about boring? Silent leering works perfectly fine when checking out those well-placed pounds of flesh in and on Whitney Port, in and out of the pool, and in and out of our imaginations of playing 'the quiet game' back in her hotel room.

Parental Problem-drinking and Adult Children's Labor Market Outcomes
Current estimates of the societal costs of alcoholism do not consider the impact of parental drinking on children. This paper analyzes the consequences of parental problem-drinking on children's labor market outcomes in adulthood. Using the NLSY79, I show that having a problem-drinking parent is associated with longer periods out of the labor force, lengthier unemployment, and lower wages, in particular for male respondents. Increased probabilities of experiencing health problems and abusing alcohol are speculative forces behind these effects. While causality cannot be determined due to imprecise IV estimates, the paper calls for further investigation of the intergeneration costs of problem-drinking.

Karsten Braasch vs. Serena and Venus
These two sets have taken on legendary status, so let's get the facts straight. They were played at the Australian Open in 1998. Serena lost 6-1 and Venus lost 6-2. Braasch had dropped to 203 in the world because of an injury in 1997. He was described by Paul Fein in the book
Tennis Confidential
(Washington D.C. 2002-pub. by Brassey's Inc), the original source for public knowledge of these encounters, as a smoker. At no time did Fein claim that he was smoking on-court, or on the changeovers or otherwise not going all-out. I know from personal observation that Pancho Gonzalez was a heavy smoker, and the
magazine profile of Marat Safin this year shows him smoking during an interview, so clearly tobacco use does not disqualify one from playing at a high level.
We've gone from the absurd idea circa the mid-70's that women could compete on the men's tour to the equally absurd idea voiced on these boards that a male 5.5 could beat the Williams sisters largely on the basis of these two sets. Should the 2004 US Open have been stopped after the first set because Hewitt was bagelled? Would that set have logically indicated that a male 5.5 could have beaten him?
Here's some more info on Braasch .

Rutsiro: ICT Awareness Campaign to focus on rural districts
2 April, at 10 : 44 AM Print
Rwanda Development Board (RDB) on March, 30th, 2014 launched an ICT Awareness Campaign focused on rural districts of Rwanda to implement fast development.
The move aims at helping rural residents to freely gain ICT skills and use ICT gadgets to simplify life.
« ICT Awareness Campaign will mainly focus on remote areas of Rwanda educating residents on using ICT for fast social development, » said Leonidas Twiringiyimana in charge of ICT in Rwanda Development Board (RDB).
Leonidas Twiringiyimana, IT Technician at Rwanda Development Board (RDB)
urged residents to embrace ICT
The Campaign saw Rutsiro residents both young and old go through one hour training in ICT bus in phases.
ICT buses bring ICT Knowledge closer to residents in rural communities
Fitted with electric power generators and a mobile computer lab for travelling commuters, the buses bring ICT services nearer to the rural communities rather than have them travel long distances to access ICT services. The ICT Bus Project is run by the Rwanda Development Board (RDB).
The buses act as mobile telecentres for the rural citizens to access ICT services, such as Internet and other modern communication platforms. T hey also provide additional services ranging from printing, scanning and photocopying documents to offering basic ICT training.
The ICT bus innovation comes as an addition to the introduction of 30 Telecentres all over the country in an initiative that is aimed at boosting both public and private development through information technology.
More than 1,500 people including women and local leaders in rural communities have benefited from ICT training services nationwide since the introduction of ICT buses.
