Insane-ly good
Kinda surprised of the setting, tone and visuals of the game in a very positive sense. You basically guide a ufo through a very alien landscape and it just rocks. During your travels you pick up several pieces that enhances your ufo so you'll be able to scan, tow or shoot stuff. The game itself is a puzzle game mixed with some shooting.
Like it!

Sometimes following the online legal scene is like reading an Etch A Sketch. Here's the latest batch:
— Web Sites Not Liable for Posts by Others: Reversing an appellate court decision, the California Supreme Court has ruled that sites are not liable for libel in third-party posts. A women's health advocate posted a scathing e-mail by another person on two newsgroups; two doctors identified in the e-mails sued for libel, claiming she knew the material was false and defamatory. Associate Justice Carol A. Corrigan: "The prospect of blanket immunity for those who intentionally redistribute defamatory statements on the Internet has disturbing implications. Nevertheless … statutory immunity serves to protect online freedom of expression and to encourage self-regulation, as Congress intended." No decision yet on an appeal.
— Judge to rule on landmark Internet porn law: A U.S. law meant to shield children from online pornography could be struck down after a four-week trial in Philadelphia … the ACLU and other opponents say the Child Online Protection Act of 1998 is so poorly written that it is too restrictive for adults. Their argument: filtering is better. The government says that isn't good enough. This law has never been implemented and was sent back by the U.S. Supreme Court to the lower court for a full trial. We'll see what this judge says.
— China court rules in favor of Baidu in MP3 download suit – report: The China Business News is reporting that a Beijing court ruled in favor of Baidu in a copyright suit by seven global music companies. Universal, Sony BMG, EMI, etc. were suing over Baidu's MP3 search technology providing links to illegal downloads. BBC: This overturns an earlier ruling. "If the music companies had won, the whole search engine sector would have ground to a halt," Xinhua news agency quoted a Baidu spokesman as saying." The report has the music labels appealing.

A MOSFET device in strained silicon-on-SiGe and a method of forming the device are described. The said device achieves reduced junction leakage due to the lower band-gap values of SiGe. The method consists of forming isolation trenches in a composite strained-Si/SiGe substrate and growing a liner oxide by wet oxidation such that oxidation is selective to SiGe only, with negligible oxidation of silicon surfaces. Selective oxidation results in oxide encroachment under strained-Si, thereby reducing the junction area after device fabrication is completed. Reduced junction area leads to reduced n+/p or p+/n junction leakage current.

(1) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a silicon on silicon-germanium (SiGe) device and particularly to a method for reducing junction leakage current in an MOS device formed in strained silicon on SiGe.
(2) Description of the Prior Art
Continuous demand for improved performance in the electronics industry has been possible as a result of materials, equipment, and process advances related to silicon technology. However, economic and physical constraints are rendering further developments to conventional silicon technology unviable. To date, the performance of a semiconductor device has improved its performance by miniaturizing the dimensions and by increasing scale of integration. There has been therefore, in the last five years, a lot of discussion in trade journals on a new technology, strained-silicon transistors, that has potential use in the next CMOS (complimentary CMOS) generations. The strained-silicon (SS) transistor is fabricated on a silicon layer deposited on a substrate containing SiGe and utilizing the resulting lattice distortion in deposited silicon to achieve higher carrier mobility. With up to 4.2% lattice mismatch between relaxed Si and SiGe, silicon lattice when epitaxially deposited on relaxed SiGe gets stretched resulting in strained silicon. Electrons and holes in such strained silicon have a higher mobility than those in conventional unstrained silicon. If a transistor is fabricated using strained layer as the channel layer in a MOSFET device, the speed of the device is significantly increased. Up to 70% increase in electron mobility and 35% improvement in chip performance have been reported (J. G. Spooner, IBM reveals new strain of chip power, CNET News.com, Jun. 8, 2001).
SS technology is aimed at applications such as high performance electronics, both digital and analog; wireless ICs; high-end microprocessors used in servers; handheld devices requiring lower power consumption. The SS technology is not without its challenges, being quite new to the business. Some major ones are: dislocations in SS, maintaining the strain level through all the process steps in manufacturing, degradation of interface strain. In addition, the challenges faced by bulk silicon such as short channel effects, device isolation, CMOS integration issues are also applicable to strained silicon. The SS transistor technology being new, it does not have much prior art on fabrication processes described in the literature. The patents discussed in the following paragraphs pertain more to some process steps that are used in the conventional silicon transistor fabrication technology and are used in fabricating SS transistors and SiGe devices.
U.S. Patent No. 6,235,567 B1 describes a process for forming SiGe, BiCMOS (bipolar CMOS) device on SOI (silicon-on-insulator). CMOS transistors are formed in a 0.1-0.2 μm thick silicon layer deposited on an SOI substrate. Bipolar SiGe transistors are formed in a nominally 0.5 μm thick epitaxial film. CMOS transistors are formed first and then covered with an insulating film. The insulating film is removed from the bipolar areas and an epitaxial SiGe layer is deposited on exposed silicon. Bipolar transistors are then formed in the epitaxial layer for the base and having an encapsulated structure for device insulation using shallow isolation trenches and the buried oxide.
U.S. Patent No. 6,274,894 B1 describes a short-channel MOS transistor and a method of forming a low-band gap source and drain in such a device. A gate structure formed on a semiconductor substrate is covered on all sides with a dielectric layer. Shallow trenches are then etched on either side of the gate. A thin layer of a material, with band-gap lower than that of the substrate, is grown on the exposed semiconductor surfaces of the trench using selective epitaxial deposition. The lower band-gap material may be un-doped to be used as a buffer layer for inter-diffusion of dopants between source and drain regions; or it may be heavily doped with the same carrier type as the substrate and used as a halo region to reduce punch-through and threshold voltage lowering effects. The portion of the trench above the low-band gap layer is filled with semiconductor material doped with opposite carrier type than that of the substrate to form lightly doped drain regions of the source and drain.
U.S. Patent No. 6,294,817 B1 describes a source/drain-on-insulator (S/DOI) FET and a method of fabrication using oxidized amorphous silicon. Shallow trench isolation partially surrounds each transistor. Typically for a single transistor, only one surface of each source and drain (S/D) region make direct contact to the semiconductor body; and these surfaces are on opposite side of the channel region of each transistor. One method of fabrication of forming S/D regions is to form an isolation structure around active areas in which transistor is to be formed. Trenches separated by portions of the body are then formed in the active areas. On the bottom surface of the trench, an insulating layer is deposited and then filled with a semiconductor material of a conductivity type opposite that of the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor filled portion of each trench serves as a drain and/or source of an FET.
U.S. Patent No. 6,306,723 B1 describes a method to form shallow trench isolations without chemical mechanical polishing. After depositing a pad oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer on a silicon substrate, trenches are formed into the silicon substrate to form shallow trench isolation. A liner oxide is then grown in the trenches followed by spacer oxide deposition over the silicon nitride layer and the liner oxide layer to partially fill the trenches. The spacer and liner oxide layers are anisotropically etched to form side-wall spacers within the trenches while exposing the bottom silicon surfaces. A silicon layer is then selectively grown on the exposed silicon surface to partially fill the trenches. A trench oxide layer is then formed over the silicon layer. The silicon nitride and pad oxide layers are then removed to complete shallow trench isolation formation.
It is to be noted here that none of these patents describes MOSFET device fabrication in strained-silicon on SiGe substrate. One limitation of a device featuring a p-n junction on strained Si/SiGe substrate is the higher junction leakage current compared to bulk Si, associated with the lower band gap of SiGe. As MOSFET features p-n junction in the form of source-to-substrate and drain-to-substrate, the leakage current problem can be dominant during reverse biasing of the drain junction;
Accordingly, it is a primary object of the invention to describe a method to form p-n junction structures in strained-silicon on SiGe substrate.
It is yet another object to describe a method to form a transistor in strained-silicon on a SiGe substrate with reduced junction leakage current.
Still another object is to describe an MOS device formed in strained-silicon on a SiGe substrate.
In accordance with these objectives, a method is described to fabricate an MOSFET device in strained-silicon on SiGe layer which is deposited on a silicon substrate. Shallow isolation trenches are first formed in the strained-silicon/SiGe stack. Next, wet oxidation is done at 700� C. so that SiGe is oxidized selectively with respect to strained or bulk silicon to form a liner oxide on the shallow trench surfaces. An encroachment of about 0.2 μm is achieved under these conditions at the interface between source/drain and shallow trench. The trenches are then filled with CVD oxide, chemically mechanically polished, and the oxide/nitride mask stripped. The MOS transistor is then fabricated using standard steps of gate oxidation of the strained-silicon, poly-silicon gate deposition, patterning the gate, ion implanting/annealing the source/drain regions and the poly-silicon gate. Because of encroachment achieved during wet oxidation, the junction area is reduced because of which the n+/p junction leakage is correspondingly reduced.
The invention is described using the figures shown. The figures are schematic representation of the process steps and the device fabricated using said process steps.
Strained-silicon MOSFETs are formed on a composite substrate, shown in
The pad oxide layer 16, silicon nitride hard mask layer 18 are then deposited using oxidation and chemical vapor deposition methods known in prior art. Shallow trench mask pattern (not shown in the figure) is then formed in resist using lithographic methods known in prior art. Trench pattern is first transferred into silicon nitride layer 18 and the resist mask is stripped off. Using silicon nitride pattern as hard mask, shallow trench 20 is then etched aniso-tropically through said oxide layer, top silicon layer, and SiGe layer using reactive ion etching process known in prior art. Shallow trench structure after resist strip is shown in
The wafer is then subjected to selective wet oxidation at approximately about 600-700� C. in a furnace. Under said conditions of oxidation, the oxide grows selectively only on SiGe and insignificantly little on strained or bulk silicon. Experimental results show the oxidation selectivity on SiGe:Si to be approximately 100:1. Duration of oxidation depends on the thickness of liner oxide 22 and degree of encroachment desired. Since there is almost no oxide growth on strained silicon surface, there results an encroachment of oxide, approximately between 0.1 μm and 0.4 μm, from SiGe under the strained-Si layer as shown by the arrow. The encroachment structure, which is unique to this invention, is critical since this reduces the effective junction area and thereby reduces n+/p junction leakage current between the drain and the substrate. Shallow trench after liner oxidation, showing oxide encroachment 24, is shown in
Oxide thickness as a function of square root of the wet oxidation time for Si0.75Ge0.25 at 700� C. is shown in
The trench is then filled with CVD silicon dioxide 26, densified by high temperature annealing, planarized by a method than includes chemical mechanical polishing, and the hard mask layers (e.g. silicon nitride and pad oxide) wet stripped, all processes being known in prior art. The resulting structure with shallow isolation trench 20 with silicon dioxide 26 is shown in
Gate oxide 28, poly-silicon gate 30 are then deposited to form the gate structure 32. After doping with appropriate dopants, arsenic in this-embodiment, the structure of
Although the process is described for fabricating an n-channel FET device, the invention process can be used to fabricate other type devices such as CMOS and p-channel FET.
The advantages of the present invention over prior art are:
While the invention has been particularly shown with reference to the preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made in its form and details without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention.

Have a look in Windows Livemail and under tools accounts you will see your current set up. Open that accounts properties and use the same incoming server. I think you are using supanet.con and not as you spelt it but copy whatever is there. The username is your full e-mail address. You will need to know your own password.
As for the outgoing server I suggest you don't need it. In Mailwasher don't set up the program to bounce spam at all. Tantamount to telling the spammers they've got a current live e-mail for more spam.

Concerns about personal speech they won't like to connect with official account
Google's move to consolidate more than 60 individual privacy policies on its products into a single one "that is a lot shorter and easier to read" necessitates a fresh look by users at how they use services such as Gmail, YouTube, Maps, Calendar and Google+, as well as Android phones.
The online preview of the new policy, which will go into effect on March 1, notes that Google Chrome and Chrome OS, Books and Wallet continue to have individual policies governing privacy.
The significance of the new privacy policy lies in the way it merges online behaviour information across services, for an account holder. By adding social connections and sharing to the basket, Google has fine-grained understanding of individual choice and usage trends. Google has always collected user information, but now, the silos of live data from different services will be combined to produce powerful analytics that will match people with diverse activity that they pursue on the web when they are signed-in. This will benefit Google by giving it new insight into who is doing what, when and where using its services, and thus deliver highly targeted advertising. The company says this ability helps the user by providing more relevant search results.
The starting point to understand the scope of the change is the Google 'Dashboard', where it is possible to review and 'control' some of the information associated with a specific account. These include personal profile, analytics, Android devices (and different Google IDs used on them), Android Market transactions, Blogger, Calendar, Contacts, Docs, Gmail, Google+, Groups, iGoogle, Picasa web albums, Orkut, Reader, Social Connections and YouTube.
It is worth remembering that under the proposed changes, the name that a user provides for an account will be used on all the services associated with it, even replacing past names associated with that account in different services. Internet privacy advocates such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation have demanded that Google make it easier for people to maintain separate identities— such as professional and personal — and not mingle data merely because both IDs belong to the same individual. An example given is that of Google+, which requires a real name, and YouTube, which does not. A forced merger poses problems for those who have concerns about personal speech (such as posting videos) that they would not like to associate with their official account.
Social connections such as a Wordpress blog or Twitter account that can be traced to a Gmail ID are also accessible to Google, and can be viewed on the Dashboard.
Users who do not wish to let Google have access to their search behaviour, or the videos they watch on YouTube can simply switch off their personal search indexing, and continue to search or browse in a "logged off" state. However, in the case of Android phones, that poses difficulties as an account ID is needed for all but basic functions, access to the applications Market in particular.
Some users are bound to use anonymising services such as the Tor browser, to experiment with the new privacy system. The Tor servers enable masking of the actual geographical location of the user and some Internet Service Providers have started filtering access to them, notably in the U.K.
The absence of an opt out provision in the new privacy regime has provoked negative sentiment among many users. Eight U.S. lawmakers have asked to be informed by February 16, in fine detail, the nature of information collected, the methods adopted, and the actual use to which Google puts it. Some reactions on Twitter refer to the possible resurgence of alternative email services.
There is also a move by the European Union to put in place new privacy rules, which would require explicit consent from users, for companies to collect, store and use personal information. Google has protested against the draft EU rules, describing them as likely to break the Internet.
India is a major emerging market for Google, with significant advertising revenue potential. The company estimates that there will be a sharp growth in the number of Internet users in India by 2014, to 300 million, from about 100 million in 2011, with mobile fuelling the expansion.

After BJP leaders Narendra Modi, Sushma Swaraj and M.Venkaiah Naidu, senior party leader Arun Jaitley met L.K Advani, who is upset over being fielded from the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha seat in Gujarat against his wishes.
Earlier, the Gujarat Chief Minister and the party's prime ministerial candidate went to his residence and was there for about half-an-hour apparently to persuade him to contest from Gandhinagar.
Though no official word has come out of what transpired during the meeting, reports claimed that Advani is sticking to his desire to contest the Lok Sabha polls from Bhopal.
Later, senior party leaders Sushma Swaraj and Venkaiah Naidu reached Advani's residence to meet him.
Last night, Sushma had met him along with Nitin Gadkari to try and convince him.
Modi had also held a separate meeting with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat soon after the Central Election Committee (CEC) meeting over the developments. Advani did not attend yesterday's CEC meet.
Advani, 87, wants to shift his political home from Gujarat, which has been governed by Modi for more than 10 years, to Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh, where Shivraj Singh Chouhan is chief minister.
Advani has been the sitting MP from Gandhinagar for the last 16 years.
Advani has represented Gandhinagar in the 10th Lok Sabha (1991-96), 12th Lok Sabha (1998-99), 13th Lok Sabha (1999-2004), 14th Lok Sabha (2004-09) and the current 15th Lok Sabha (2009-14).

DALLAS -- The Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau rolled out the red carpet for the Republican National Committee late Thursday morning.
A band, cheerleaders, even two live elephants, the Republican mascot, welcomed the 13-member site selection team to Victory Park and the American Airlines Center.
'I didn't wake up this morning thinking I was going to pet a couple elephants on the way in to the arena. But that was certainly a nice touch,' said Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee.
Dallas is competing against Cleveland, Denver and Kansas City to host the 2016 Republican National Convention.
Priebus jokingly said the only concern he has about Dallas right now is the heat. But that clearly wasn't an issue Thursday morning. In fact, light rain dissipated as the event began.
'It's a great city. It's big. It plays big,' he added. 'Everything has just been Class A here.'
The RNC has settled on two dates for the cities to consider: June 27 and July 18.
Dallas is bidding for the GOP's July 18th date to avoid a potential scheduling conflict if the Mavs make it to the NBA finals.
Priebus said he would prefer the June date, but each city had something different to offer.
Republicans want to hold their convention earlier this year to give the nominee more time to raise money for the general election.
Hosting a convention is an expensive proposition said Enid Mickelson, chairwoman with the RNC's site selection committee.
Federal grants pay for some of it. The party picks up another portion of the tab, but the host city is also responsible for millions as well, Mickelson explained.
Dallas would be responsible for about $60 million. One donor committed a million dollars already; there are pledges for another $20 million; and the City can get $25 million in sales tax rebates from the state's Major Event Trust Fund, said Chairman of the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau Phillip Jones. Still, that leaves another $15 million organizers would have to raise locally.
No tax money would be spent, said former U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, who is leading the City's effort for the convention, along with Mayor Mike Rawlings.
The site selection team gave Dallas a standing ovation inside after a short patriotic video and balloon drop.
In the end, this will be a business decision to determine which city can accommodate such a massive event with hotels, fundraising, transportation and security.
'It really does come down to what is the best venue? What is the best hotel situation, transportation situation, and then this intangible piece -- which is what the host committee is doing so well today -- which is rolling out the atmosphere, the people, the generosity, the big hearts,' Priebus explained.
A national political convention is much larger than the Super Bowl with news media alone, Mickelson said. For the NFL Championship game, about 5,000 media members attend. For a national political convention, 15,000 reporters and photographers get credentialed.
No other city presented the rollout Dallas did, the GOP said. Cleveland trotted out Cleveland Browns' newest player Johnny Manziel, Kansas City had fireworks, and Denver's presentation was low-key and more business-like.
Thursday afternoon, the RNC team drove to AT&T Stadium where the Dallas Cowboys play in Arlington for a site survey. If Dallas is chosen for the 2016 convention, AT&T Stadium might host one event, the GOP said.
Dallas last hosted a national convention in 1984 when Ronald Reagan was nominated for a second term.
The RNC will announce the host of its 2016 convention on August 8.

a second ask for help... asking over here
Just thought I would post over here and ask for some help on my issue.
Actually just asking for you folks to look at my original thread called "HI and how about help on a 93 van? " over in the newbie sestion, had I known of this section I would have posted over here instead in the first place. Hope this is a polite way of 'double posting'. Don't be mean just inform me if I am not following the rules right.
There are some updates posted at the end for those that have already responded, and thanks to those that did.
Wish me luck in trying to get it started this am to hopefully take to a place that has a OBD #1 scanner.
I read that thread and I am still suspicious of the fuel pump relay.
Good luck!
To Maddog (and anyone else than can help)
Yes and thanks Maddog but as I posted yesterday as a follow up I did try and swap out the relay with a known good one and same results..no start when cold but it does start if I bring in the ECM to the house to keep it warm.
Now the latest update:
Took the van in this morning to one dealer who told me on the phone they had an OBD 1 scanner... but when I got there they tried to charge me $500 to bring the van into the shop and then say they don't have the scanner...grrr more on that latter in another post... (Just to read and pull codes, that is for $500 ! NO repair! )
So I went to another Dealer who had one they were great. They scanned it and they only came up with the code 45 (which is overdrive and we know this van does not have that, 3 speed trans) But the Tech remembered and old tech paper and dug it out... seams the computer is for BOTH Tranny's and there for because there is no connection to an overdrive sensor, on mine it reports the "false' code...SO the bottom line is I have no codes showing by either method ( flash count or OBD1 scanner )and still it's a cold no start issue.
Maddog they even checked my relay and swapped it and still the same result..so I am pretty sure it's not the relay since we have now tried 4 ( my old 2 and their new pair using both on the pair as a test, they are they same relays both mounted on the same bracket). They checked fuel pump 'hold' pressure as well..tested ok ... Just to rule out anything related to the ASD relay...
Now Maddog you are warm though cuz I knew that the 1992 computer had a bad SCR... ( and this is the same exact ECM a
#xxxx 7844) ok now think voltage regulation here.... if the relay is not getting the correct voltage or amp draw till it stops clicking, as in it warms up, well then if the relay is good then what sending the relay the energy must be at issue.
So Tommorrow the 2nd new computer is due in and I will try that...this dealer, based on what I have told you all in the thread believes that first new computer was bad and thats the whole issue... lol so we shall see... First one was a Borg Warner rebuild trying a Cardon next.
I'll let you know in a day or 2, thanks for all your help so far.
Merry Xmas

Majority opinion
After the district court ruled against Citizens United on all counts, the Supreme Court granted a writ of certiorari, and oral arguments were first heard on March 24, 2009. The court then asked the parties to file supplemental briefs on the question of whether one or both of Austin and the part of McConnell that affirmed the validity of Section 203 should be overturned. The case was reargued in a special session during the court's summer recess on September 9, 2009. The court's majority opinion, written by Justice Anthony Kennedy, held that Section 441(b) was unconstitutional on its face; accordingly, both Austin and the relevant part of McConnell were overruled.
In order to justify its consideration of the facial constitutionality of 441(b), which had been affirmed in McConnell and presumably was not at issue in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the court argued that it was impossible to decide the case on narrower grounds in a manner consistent with its conviction that "this corporation has a right to speak on this subject." Not only were Citizens United's narrower arguments "not sustainable under a fair reading of the statute," but there was no principled way of removing Citizens United from the scope of the BCRA that would not itself prolong or contribute to "the substantial, nation-wide chilling effect caused by §441b's prohibitions on corporate expenditures."
Because 441(b) was, in the court's view, an onerous ban on political speech (notwithstanding the availability of political action committees), it could be justified only if it were narrowly tailored to serve a compelling state interest. But neither the majority opinions in Austin and McConnell nor the supplemental brief submitted by the government demonstrated that Section 441(b) passed this test. As an instrument for furthering the state's antidistortion interest, Section 441(b) permitted the government to assign different free-speech rights to different speakers based on their identity as corporate or individual, a premise rejected in the court's decision in First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti (1978). In addition, the law would allow the government to ban the political speech of media corporations, including newspapers—though such corporations were specifically exempted in the Michigan law upheld in Austin and in Section 203 of the BCRA. More generally, according to the majority, the suppression of any political speech by corporations would interfere with the "marketplace of ideas" by preventing the "voices and viewpoints" of corporations from "reaching the public and advising voters on which persons or entities are hostile to their interests."
The court also held that the state's interest in preventing corruption or the appearance of corruption, though compelling, was not narrowly served by Section 441(b), because the independent expenditures it banned were by definition not coordinated or prearranged with the candidate or his campaign and therefore could not give rise to a quid pro quo in which votes are exchanged for money. Although such expenditures could ingratiate a corporation with a candidate and lead to greater access to him, "ingratiation and access…are not corruption." Regarding the government's contention that Section 441(b) narrowly served the state's interest in protecting the right of corporate shareholders not to fund political speech with which they disagree, the court held that this and other interests of shareholders were already adequately protected by the institutions of "corporate democracy." The court concluded that "no sufficient governmental interest justifies limits on the political speech of nonprofit or for-profit corporations." Although thus agreeing with Citizens United's claim that Section 203 was unconstitutional as applied to Hillary, a majority of the court (8–1) disagreed with the group's contention that the disclosure and identification requirements of the BCRA were also unconstitutional as applied (this part of the court's decision later became the basis of several lower-court rulings upholding the constitutionality of such requirements). The majority opinion was joined in full by Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., and Justices Antonin Scalia and Samuel A. Alito and in part by Justice Clarence Thomas. Roberts and Scalia also filed separate concurring opinions, while Thomas filed a separate opinion concurring in part and dissenting in part.
Dissenting opinion
In a lengthy and impassioned dissent, Justice John Paul Stevens warned that the court's ruling threatened "to undermine the integrity of elected institutions across the Nation." He contended that the court had blatantly disregarded precedent and the principle of stare decisis, and he rejected the court's rationale for considering the facial constitutionality of Section 441(b) as question-begging and ad hoc. According to Stevens, the majority had also misunderstood the state interests that Section 441(b) and Section 203 were designed to serve. In particular, its dismissal of the antidistortion interest overgeneralized Bellotti's rejection of identity-based restrictions on political speech and ignored the ways in which corporate domination of political speech during an election could impoverish rather than enhance the marketplace of ideas. In addition, the court's treatment of political corruption as equivalent to a quid pro quo was simplistic and naive, and its notion of corporate democracy greatly overestimated the powers of shareholders to vote and bring derivative suits against corporate officers. "The Court's blinkered and aphoristic approach to the First Amendment," he wrote, "will undoubtedly cripple the ability of ordinary citizens, Congress, and the States to adopt even limited measures to protect against corporate domination of the electoral process. Americans may be forgiven if they do not feel the Court has advanced the cause of self-government today." Stevens's opinion (which concurred with the majority's ruling on the disclosure and identification requirements of the BCRA) was joined by Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Sonia Sotomayor.

Originally published in Sports Litigation Alert, Volume 9, Issue 15, August 24, 2012
Today's athletes have become increasingly proactive and savvy about ways in which they can and should protect their trademarks. As an example, shortly after former University of North Carolina basketball star Harrison Barnes became the seventh pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, he stated that he had already given tremendous thought to what his "brand" would be and even had an artist friend design his logo. As it turns out, Barnes had even gone so far as to file a trademark application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") for the word mark THE BLACK FALCON – his nickname at UNC – on August 19, 2011, months before his college career was over and almost a full year before he was selected to play in the NBA.

Undergraduate Admissions for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology
Old Dominion University's Office of Admissions selects applicants on the basis of their overall academic records, including recommendations and standardized-test results. Applicants for freshman status must present 16 units of academic credit from high school. A recommended program would include four units of English, including composition; three units of mathematics, including algebra II; three units of natural science, including a year of laboratory science; three units of social science; and three units of foreign language or two units in each of two languages. Usually, students who rank in the top 50 percent of their classes and have maintained academic averages of C or better are encouraged to apply. The level of academic competition and the number of spaces available in the entering class influence the actual minimum requirements for admission.
Official results of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) must be submitted by any applicant for freshman status. Transfer students who have completed fewer than 24 semester hours of college credit are also required to submit these scores. A total verbal and quantitative score of 850 or better on the SAT is usually required for admission.
Application information and forms may be obtained from the Office of Admissions, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA 23529-0050, (757) 683-3685.
Declaring the Major
To declare a major in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology:
- Students must complete one year of course work at ODU with a GPA of at least 2.5;
- Students must meet with an undergraduate advisor.
To continue and graduate in the major:
- Students must maintain a GPA of at least 2.5 in all major courses.
- Students must retake any major course in which they attain a grade below C- (or a grade below C in CSD 449W).
Undergraduate Advising
Dr. Abrahamsen (last names A-G): firstname.lastname@example.com
Dr. Raymer (last names H-Z). email@example.com
Group advising sessions are scheduled two weeks prior to registration each semester. If unable to attend group advising, a small number of individual advising sessions are available. Stop by the Child Study Center or contact Mrs. Spence at 683-4117 to sign up for an advising session.
General Education Course Reminders:
For ASHA certification, SLPA majors must take a biology course, a physical science course (preferably chemistry or physics), a mathematics course (suggest STAT 130), and two social/behavioral science courses (preferably Psych 201 and Soc 201).
The Commonwealth of Virginia now requires all public school personnel to take a technology course for licensure. That requirement can be most easily satisfied by TLED 430, which also meets the Impact of Technology requirement for special education minors.
A sign language course taken at the community college level is not equivalent to the sign language course required in our major (CSD 465).
Prerequisites in CSD courses:
*CSD 351 Permission of instructor
**CSD 352 Permission of instructor
***CSD 447 Grade of C- or better in CSD 453
CSD 449W Grade of C or better in ENGL 211C/221C/231C and grade of C- or better in ENGL 350
CSD 450 Permission of instructor

Many reasons your infant may not be gaining enough weight
Unlike beauty queens and your neighbor's opinions — which don't need more weight – infants do.
In fact, says pediatrician Brent Eberhard of Tanner Clinic, "the weight is every- thing."
When weight standards are not being reached, especially in the first year, he said, overall growth can be impeded. "Eventually, it can affect the development of the brain," he said.
Many factors can cause an infant to be underweight. Some of these problems are caused by the mom herself — smoking, for instance, results in infants who are small for their gestational age.
But there may be other reasons a baby is not able to take in enough nutrients, said Dr. Eberhard. These include:
▸ A breastfeeding mother's milk decreases, and she's not aware of it.
▸ A child is unable to suck enough.
▸ The formula is too dilute.
▸ An absorption problem.
▸ Food intolerances or protein allergies, such as an allergy to a milk-based formula.
A visit to your pediatrician will help you find and correct the cause, Dr. Eberhard said. "It's very important that an infant gets good nutrition for their overall development, especially during that first year of life," he said. "Those routine checkups to monitor their growth are very important."

"Dr. Eberhard and staff are the absolute BEST in the area. They are friendly and remember the faces of their patience. They are kind and gentle and really listen to the patient complaints (and parents!) They made all my kids feel safe and cared about. When we had to go to specialists, they followed up on the visits. They called quickly with any test results and spent time explaining if needed. We are so sad we had to move and leave the practice. You CANNOT GO WRONG becoming a patient with them!" — Jamie on Google+, Feb. 2, 2015

Professional profile of Dr. Eberhard
Dr. Brent K. Eberhard is a board-
certified pediatrician in Tanner Clinic Layton. He offers general pediatric care, but has special interest in childhood asthma and premature infants.
Dr. Eberhard, a native of Farmington, Utah, joined Tanner Clinic in 2004.
After receiving his undergraduate degree in chemistry from Weber State University, Dr. Eberhard traveled to Washington, D.C., where he earned his MD at the George Washington University School of Medicine, one of the nation's oldest medical schools. It's also the most-applied-to medical school, admitting only 2 percent of applicants.
Dr. Eberhard completed his residency in pediatrics at the Columbus (Ohio) Children's Hospital, now known as Nationwide Children's Hospital, one of the largest and most comprehensive pediatric hospitals and research institutes in the United States. During his residency, he received the Resident Teaching Award in pediatrics from the School of Medicine at Ohio State University.
Dr. Eberhard chose pediatrics because, he said, "I consider infants a miracle, and I've always considered their ability to learn and develop to be fascinating and miraculous."
Dr. Eberhard, who has four sons among his six children, is active in his local scouting program in Kaysville. He also spends as much time as possible in the outdoors, and counts among his hobbies canyoneering, mountain biking and kayaking. As a piano and French horn player himself, his home is a musical one.
ON PITCH — Instead of a stethoscope, Dr. Brent Eberhard once toted a French horn as a member of the L.A. Goon band, Lagoon amusement park's whacky, roving band described by a local newspaper as "a cross between a marching band and the Marx Brothers." Good thing he's now a pediatrician.
Interview with a Tanner Clinic physician
For children, alarming 'stridor'
can be result of severe croup
can be result of severe croup
By Tanner Clinic staff
any parents have watched helplessly as their young children struggle with that frustrating cough-maker — croup.
Croup, which is common among youngsters ages 1 to 6, produces a distinctive barking cough that will keep you up at night, ears open, waiting for silence.
When croup becomes severe — when each breath is labored and the youngster's chest heaves — the child may have what's known as stridor.
Dr. Brent Eber- hard, a pediatri- cian with Tanner Clinic Layton, says stridor requires an immediate visit to your pediatrician.
Stridor, he explains, is reached at the point when "your airway is narrowed down enough from inflammation that the air becomes turbulent as you breathe in, and you have a hard time getting air in."
And, it's not just now and then, like a cough — the struggle happens with every breath.
Stridor a dangerous form of croup
Croup is an infection of the larynx, said Dr. Eberhard. Because it's caused by a virus, antibiotics won't help, and usually the body fights it off in 5 to 7 days.
But if it reaches the stridor stage, the larynx has become so swollen around the vocal chords that there's simply no room for air to pass through.
"If you're having noisy breathing or having a hard time breathing, you need to see a doctor," he said. A pediatrician will likely prescribe an anti-inflammatory or glucocorticoid steroid, which also decreases the inflammation of the airway. "That keeps them out of the emergency room," said Dr. Eberhard.

To calm croup, Dr. Eberhard recommends these methods:
▸ Have the child breathe cold air, perhaps by walking the bundled-up kid outside.
▸ Provide steam treatment by creating a steamy bathroom.
▸ Avoid milk products.
Milk products, said Dr. Eberhard, "cause more of a thick mucus. It's also good to avoid sugar anytime you're sick — sometimes that makes it so you don't get better quite as fast."
Differs from whooping cough
Stridor differs from another significant ailment that restricts breathing: whooping cough. Dr. Eberhard explains that whooping cough is a lower-airway infection, and doesn't cause the upper airway narrowing like croup does.
"Whooping cough will cause severe coughing, a huge drive to cough," he said, "and these kids will have a coughing spasm, or paroxysmal coughing, so hard they get out of breath; they get so air hungry that they whoop trying to get the air back in."

Latest Toxoplasma gondii Stories
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have discovered that parasites hijack host-cell proteins to ensure their survival and proliferation, suggesting new ways to control the diseases they cause.
Scientists in the UK have reported the first evidence that links schizophrenia to toxoplasma parasites.
CHULA VISTA, Calif., March 17 /PRNewswire/ -- A study by the Stanley Medical Research Institute and Johns Hopkins University Medical Center links Toxoplasma, a cat-borne parasite, to neurotic behavior in infected men and women.
British scientists say toxoplasmosis parasite may trigger the development of schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. The team from the University of Leeds shows the parasite may play a role in the development of the disorders by affecting the production of dopamine -- the chemical that relays messages in the brain controlling aspects of movement, cognition and behavior. Toxoplasmosis, which is transmitted through cat feces -- and can be found on unwashed vegetables as well as raw or undercooked...

In a game that included a combined 40 fouls and 50 turnovers, the Newton-Conover girls basketball team survived an early scare from South Iredell to advance to Friday's CVAC 2A tournament final with a 65-37 victory.
The Lady Red Devils (23-3) will meet the winner of No. 2 Bandys and No. 3 East Burke in the championship game.
"It was ugly. That's all I can say," said N-C coach Ike Williams. "We kind of knew Bandys would be here scouting. We wanted to be conservative with the game plan and what we ran. Obviously, it ended up being an ugly game."
Despite putting up a strong effort Wednesday, the Bunker Hill boys basketball team had its season ended by West Caldwell, 67-47.
The loss ends the Bears' four-game winning streak.
Bunker Hill (7-18) led 16-15 after the first quarter, giving the top-seeded Warriors (16-6) an early scare.
West Caldwell outscored the Bears 15-6 in the second quarter and carried a 30-22 lead into halftime. Ashton Smith paced the Warriors in the first half with eight points.
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Harrison Barnes scored 23 points and No. 8 North Carolina used smothering defense to rally from an eight-point deficit in the second half and beat Miami 73-64 Wednesday night.
The Tar Heels, who came in leading the nation with 83.5 points per game, shot only 38 percent and went 5 for 18 from 3-point range. But they forced turnovers on four consecutive possessions in the second half to get back in the game, and held Miami without a point for nearly five minutes down the stretch.
