Did you notice that R. White got several passes thrown his way by Schaub late in the Vikings game? Was this because Mora was looking to get the kid some exp or was it that Schaub was more comfortable with him from working with him on the second team? Just a question I thought I would put out there.

during the preseason i think all of roddy's catches were from schaub. i remember in the game where he hurt his ankle i think he may have caught 4 catches from schuab (and perhaps detmer) before getting hurt. schaub seems to have a better report with roddy than vick.
but didn't roddy catch one from vick in the minnesota game? his first catch was for a first down coming back on his knees and i think it was from vick.

I am leaning towards Schaub has more comfort with Roddy. If you remember the end or the Seahawks game, that last pass that went incomplete was supposed to go to Roddy. Granted the reason Roddy was in the game so much at the end was to get him experience, but I am sure him and Schaub have gotten a lot of reps together.
I have to say that I do like the ability of Roddy to get open. If he can just sure up those hands, which I assume is more Rookie jitters than anything, he could be a big asset to us in the future.

Yes, Roddy's first catch came from Vick. I also noted in my game review that I thought Roddy's efforts vs. Minnesota was because he had a stronger rapport with Schaub because they've been working together on the 2nd team all year long.

Schaub Crap
What are yall talking about?I could have a good rapport with White if we worked on the 2nd team with the Falcons,or even if we worked at McDonalds..(Cheese on 12),thats for all those Mickey D's peeps out there.Anyway the point being is that I can't see what all the fuss is about schaub is.I see on other forums,like the falcons website forum,and people are calling him great.And he should be starting,and all this crap.well,I don't see it or why.The vikings left all those wide lanes open because they thought he was gonna come out throwing.And we ran,and...he ran,which is good.But the passes he got so much credit for throwing(the out of bounds passes,cause no one was open),Vick would have ran those suckers for positive yards.And lets not forget that in the Pre-Season,Teams blitzed Vick all the time.Schaub comes out and boom,where is the blitz?Gone.we play vanilla defense against Schaub.Detmer is the only QB that i saw move this team at the speed of 'blitzkrieg',for the falcons this year.No im saying he should start,but he is further along than Vick,and alot better than the great one,Matt Schaub.

I wouldn't call Ty Detmer better than Shaub, but he does understand our offense better than any other player on our team...Shaub isn't ready to be a starter, if he was we'd have a ton of teams knocking on our door trying to trade for him...Shaub's success in the pre-season did have a lot to do with the fact that he was playing against 2-3 teamers...He is a solid QB and as far as back-up QB's go I feel way more comfortable with him in the game that I did with Doug Johnson...no of this pertains to the question of the thread though...the point we were trying to make is that due to the fact that Roddy practiced/played with Shaub all preseaon the two have more of a relationship on the field than Roddy and Vick do....

I find that wearing my Omron hj-112 is a great personal motivator......whether it is for personal best, increasing all day OR aerobic steps, I find this helpful.It is tool, tailored to me, encouraging me to "step it up!"
Wearing my pedometer keeps me motivated to hit my goal steps each day.
I wear my pedometer on my shoe secured by the shoe laces it actually gives me more of an accurate reading.
Wear a pedometer daily - you'll be surprised how much walking you do during your everyday daily activities. At the end of the day, check to see how close you are to the 10,000 steps-a-day point, and then go for a walk! Play mind games on yourself to get as many steps as you can each day.

Please review the video conference programs and scheduling information below.
Audience: School Nurses and Educators
Tuesday, February 26, 2013
Thursday, April 4, 2013 4:00 – 5:30 p.m.
One school-age student dies every 3 days from sudden cardiac death in the United States according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. A typical pediatric physical does not usually lead to recognition of underlying cardiac conditions or symptoms.
Join Stephanie Lavin, MSN, RN and Laura Friend, Project ADAM Texas Coordinator, for a 1.5 hour program designed to enhance the knowledge of school nurses in the areas of cardiology and sudden cardiac arrest.
The program will address common cardiac conditions and how they can contribute to sudden cardiac arrest. It will identify strategies that schools may implement to improve cardiac arrest survival.

Cook Children's Medical Center is an approved provider of continuing nursing education by the Texas Nurses Association, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation (ANCC).
This activity provides 1.5 contact hours. You must attend the activity in its entirety and complete and return the evaluation tool.
Audience: Students
Contact us for available dates.
When you're a child, having surgery can be scary. This program helps students understand what happens when they or someone they know has surgery.
Students follow Luke throughout the process: checking in at the hospital with his parents, preparing for surgery, looking at the equipment in the operating room and resting in the recovery room. The program does not show an actual operation, but students have the opportunity to see everything as if they are really there.
We will send classroom materials to your group ahead of time, and the presenter will provide ample time for interactive questions.

In a bid to improve its services and bring more fun and entertainment to the audience, DStv's M-Net is launching a new movie channel starting from October 1 under the theme, "A Movie for Every Mood". M-Net has also made changes to the existing channels, changing channel location and names.
For example, M-Net Action will now be called M-Net Movies Action while M-Net Stars will assume the M-Net Movies Stars.
The eight movie channels will be themed according to their type.
The channels include M-Net Movies Premiere, M-Net Movies Comedy, M-Net Movies Family, M-Net Action Plus, M-Net Movies Drama and Romance and M-Net Movies Showcase.
Movies released by Hollywood studios will be screened first on M Premiere or M-Net on a Sunday night at 8pm.
Thereafter the movie will be screened again in relevant themed channel.
The themed channels will also show movies related to that theme.
There were only two channels thus (M-Net Action and M-Net Stars) which focused on movies but now viewers have a variety of choices of more than two.
Multichoice public relations and publicity manager Elizabeth Dziva explained this new development.
"The new channels have been added to the existing bouquets, only Premium subscribers will get new channels with the exception of compact and compact plus subscribers who will get an additional channel in the form of Africa Magic Movies1. The boutique price still remains the same," said Dziva.
Recently DStv launched a new satellite that according to Dziva has necessitated the addition of more channels.
"We recently launched a new satellite which will give us the ability to offer you more channels and services," she said.
"In order to accommodate these new channels and make channel navigation more user-friendly, we have arranged the channels into genres which have resulted in some of the channel position and hence numbers changing," said Dziva.
However, the news, children and sports channels will not change the channel numbers.
"These changes will happen automatically on the morning of October 1 and as a way to curb confusion on the re-numbering, information on reshuffle can be obtained from DStv's official website.
Channel 198, which is usually dedicated to Big Brother reality show, will be used to help viewers navigate the channel number changes.

I bought 4 of these due to a 4 star rating another reviewer gave. Evidently he doesn't need his to clamp. All 4 of the clamps I bought would slip back if any pressure at all was applied. I doubt I can get them to tighten enough to squash a fly. The worse thing is they won't even hold any pressure. When you release the handle they slip back every time and are quite worthless as a clamp.

This clamp applies no clamp pressure at all its a waste of money I will be returning them.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Cheap, light duty clamp
By Paul
from Lyons, CO
These clamps are very inexpensive but should only be considered useful for light duty. The plastic used in the casing is quite brittle and dropping them from even low height can break the casing. Don't expect to be able really clamp something hard with these. Light duty at best.

I broke 3 of 4 1st time used with just lite pressure. They are completely junk ,the plastic around the lever assembly is to thin and breaks very easy.The 4th one I never used because it broke when it fell off my bench. go with the steel ones with crank handles that HF sells they work fine.
Unable to apply pressure
By WildBovine
from Torrance, CA
Pressure application fails on 1 of 2 clamps. Try to clamp in-store before purchase. Keep your receipt (mine was gift so can't be returned).

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
I went to the store specifically for these clamps to glue a broken cabinet door. Both clamps that I bought will apply no pressure at all. They will ratchet to the point of resistance, and slip back again each time. Very disappointing product.
Very light use ONLY
By Try Again
from Ogden, UT
Complete waste of money. Clamps have no grip strength. I can get a tighter squeeze with just my grip. If looking to bond anything requiring any pressure, look elsewhere. May have well made paper airplanes with my cash.

Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least...
Well, I am not sure where to start on here. But here it goes… I am 33 years old and looking for a great person to not only to be my closest friend, but also my better half. I am a single father of a beautiful little girl. It is important to me that the person I am seeing loves kids. I am a funny guy that doesn't take life too seriously. I always have a witty joke to throw out. I am Bostonian born and raised, and love sports. OK…let me break it down for you~ -I make lots of jokes -Having a bad day, call me -I am funny, well, at least I think so -Love Family Guy and just about all types of movies -I do go for pedicures…wait, I mean I like that masculine foot bath (I like to keep up appearances) -I am an Aries -Love the beach, but the sun doesn't like me (damn my complexion!) -Favorite food is Italian -I am half Italian, quarter Irish, quarter Scottish…No, I don't wear kilts -I could have family ties to the Italian Mafia, but doubt it (sadly…lol) -I have broken over 20 bones…not sure why I thought I should say that like it was on my bucket list, but it's always seemed to be a good conversation starter~ -I like dogs, can't stand cats -I still talk like I am living in Boston from time to time; which means I leave out the letter "R" when I talk (we find 25 letters to be more than enough thank you…lol). Go ahead, ask me to talk Bostonian, you'll be impressed -I love the downtown atmosphere -I am an only child -My family can be crazy -I have a fear of bugs…don't judge! (not really a "fear" per say, but c'mon, they're just nasty!!) -I can't ever fall asleep before 10:00 (wait…what am I, 83???) In all seriousness I am looking for that special someone. I don't have any brothers or sisters, since I am an only child, but I have a close group of friends and a very close family friend who is just like my sister (she actually kind of made me do this). I am looking for someone that wants to have a healthy relationship with someone that brings the best out of me and who I can do the same. I love watching a movie and cuddling up with someone special. Especially someone that likes popcorn and chocolate! I am a humble man that likes to keep stress and drama to a minimum. I am a gentleman and will open the door for you. If you like what you are reading so far send me a wink or an email. I would like to get to know you too!

text: Inside Higher Ed reviews a new study that profiled a staggering 270,000 incoming freshman at 400 colleges. The article notes that first-year students are increasingly politically minded and more polarized in their political views. Financial aid for college was cited as a major concern by freshman. In fact, among those students admitted to their first choice college that ultimately chose not to attend, the top reason cited for enrolling elsewhere was their inability to pay tuition.

Asthma is a problem with the lungs that causes the airways to swell and produce lots of thick mucus. The muscles surrounding the airways also tend to tighten, which makes the already clogged airways even narrower. This can lead a person to cough, wheeze, and have trouble breathing. People with asthma may be sensitive to certain things, such as viruses, allergies, smoke, and even exercise. Doctors call asthma a chronic condition. This means that people who have asthma will always have the condition, although they may not always have symptoms.

From the Sponsor (Sponsored)
Wade joined Guardian Mortgage in January 2006 and serves customers from the company's Plano location. He chose to work for Guardian since it is an independently owned and managed mortgage bank that specializes in originating and servicing residential mortgages ever since being founded in 1965. Together we have been setting the standard for quality and customer service by providing the best possible loan products and retaining 100% of the servicing on its loans.
Wade has a message for Guardian's customers: There's more to a mortgage than the close. Wade, like his Guardian counterparts, understands that a job well done is a job that lasts the duration of the loan. Counsel, support and personal service are paramount to becoming a trusted mortgage advisor for Guardian's clients.
"Too many loan officers in our industry just focus on selling a borrower a mortgage loan without listening to the borrower's desires or asking the right mortgage planning questions" he says. "It is our responsibility to create mortgage solutions that complement our client's overall financial strategy and allow them to most effectively accomplish their short and long-term financial goals."
Prior to working for Guardian, Wade served as a sales associate for a health care company. Born and raised in New Orleans, Wade came to Dallas in 1997 and attended Southern Methodist University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in economics. Wade enjoys spending time with his family and playing with his English bulldog, Butterball. He is also an avid Louisiana State University football fan.

LAST TIME OUT: New Mexico Multis & InvitationalNew Mexico added two more provisional qualifiers for the 2009 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships as the New Mexico Multis and Invitational wrapped up on Jan. 31 at the Albuquerque Convention Center. Junior transfer Rory Fraser broke a 16-year-old record in the 3,000 meters with an altitude adjusted time of 8:03.75, while fifth-year senior Ariel Burr returned to the national 400 rankings with a time of 54.38.
Collegiate athletes turned in 20 provisional and two automatic qualifying performances, along with three facility records during the two-day meet.
Fraser got a big assist from senior teammate Lee Emanuel, the Lobos' middle distance standout who set an outstanding pace in the 3,000 before stepping aside midway through the race. After narrowly missing the NCAA provisional standard in winning the mile last week in his Lobo track debut Fraser poured it on over the last few laps to break Chip Smith's 1993 record by 3.25 seconds.
Burr, meanwhile, enjoyed an tremendous day on the oval. The Carrizozo, N.M. product edged Texas Tech's Trudeann Clarke by 0.02 seconds to pick up her first 400 victory of the year after redshirting during the winter of 2008.
Burr came back later in the afternoon to finish a strong second in the 200 with a career-best time of 24.43. She led all collegians and finished 0.19 seconds behind former Houston All-American and 2008 Olympian (400m) Ebonie Floyd-Broadnax.
New Mexico also received a big performance from the men's 4x400 team of Jarrin Solomon, Philip Reid, Ryan Steadman, and Dominick Roberts which finished a close second behind Texas Tech with a time of 3:13.59 - the best by a Lobo foursome in over a decade.
Junior transfer Nicky Archer - New Mexico's top finisher at the 2008 NCAA Cross Country Championships - was victorious in her American track debut. The product of Cheshire, England recorded an altitude adjusted time of 9:40.71 - just off the NCAA provisional qualifying standard - after junior teammate Ashley Gibson set a strong early pace. Senior Michelle Corrigan was second with an adjusted time of 10:06.94 in her season debut.
Elsewhere, senior Jermaine McQueen finished third in the 200 with a time of 21.69 - the best by a Lobo since 2001 when Larry Davis set the indoor record with a time of 21.44. Both McQueen and Davis were wide receivers for the UNM football team.
McQueen's performance came after finishing fourth in the 60 with a season-best altitude adjusted time of 6.96. The time would have been even faster if not for a double clutch out of the starting blocks by the Raleigh, N.C. product.
Sophomore teammate Chris Keeling, who is competing unattached this season while he redshirts the 2009 indoor season, clocked an adjusted time of 6.95 in a third place finish.
Redshirt freshman Alex Darling recorded an altitude adjusted time of 2:14.78 - the best by a Lobo in three years - in a second place finish in the women's 800. Fellow Albuquerque La Cueva product Chad Clark also had a solid day, placing fourth in the 60-meter hurdles finals with an adjusted time of 8.57.
Freshman Brandon Simpson, a product of Albuquerque Cibola, was the runner-up in the high jump with a leap of 6' 6 ¾" (2.00m) in his collegiate debut.
MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE LEADERSWith the 2009 Mountain West Conference Indoor Championships three weeks away, several New Mexico athletes have established themselves as gold medal contenders. UNM currently owns the top time/mark in the MWC in seven events.
Senior Ariel Burr has the league's fastest 200 and 400-meter times, while fellow senior Jarrin Solomon is No. 1 in the men's 400 and leads the MWC's top-ranked 4x400 relay team. Junior Rory Fraser is the top-ranked 3,000 runner, senior Josh Cosio shares the best high jump mark and junior Deanna Young is the No. 1 triple jumper in the league.
The following is breakdown of all the Lobos who rank among the top-5 in their respective events:
Sr. Jermaine McQueen - No. 4 in the 60m (6.96)/No. 2 in the 200m (21.69)
Fr. Thomas Trujillo - No. 3 in the 200m (21.83)
Sr. Jarrin Solomon - No. 1 in the 400m (46.84)
Sr. Lee Emanuel - No. 2 in the 800m (1:50.30)
Jr. Rory Fraser - No. 4 in the mile (4:06.56)/No. 1 in the 3,000m (8:03.75)
4x400 relay team (Solomon, Reid, Roberts, Steadman) - No. 1 (3:13.59)
Sr. Josh Cosio - No. 1 in the high jump (6-10.75)
Fr. Brandon Simpson - No. 3 in the high jump (6-06.75)
Sr. Domnick Meadows - No. 2 in the triple jump (49-03.50)
Sr. Ariel Burr - No. 1 in the 200m (24.43)/No. 1 in the 400m (54.38)
Jr. Nicky Archer - No. 3 in the 3,000m (9:40.71)
Jr. Deanna Young - No. 1 in the triple jump (42-04.25)
Sr. Hagit Salamon - No. 5 in the triple jump (38-02.75)
SOLOMON CLOCKS MWC'S THIRD-FASTEST 400Senior Jarrin Solomon was named Mountain West Conference Men's Indoor Track & Field Athlete of the Week the conference office announced on Jan.27. It's Solomon's first career indoor Athlete of the Week award and he became just the fourth member of the UNM men's team to be honored by the MWC during the winter season.
Solomon jump-started the Lobos in Cherry & Silver Invitational with a stunning performance in the men's 400 meters. After redshirting all of 2008, the Albuquerque La Cueva product picked up where he left off in 2007, smashing his own school record in a wire-to-wire victory in the collegiate field.
Solomon crossed the line in an NCAA provisional qualifying time of 46.84 - the fastest time in Mountain West Conference history run in the month of January and third-fastest overall on the conference record book. The previous five fastest 400-meter times in MWC history had all been run on or after Feb. 24. His time is currently fifth in the country on the descending order list.
Solomon outlasted Arizona All-American Bobby McCoy in the first and fastest collegiate heat and also defeated Adams State All-American Josh Streeter, who was running in heat two. McCoy was fourth in the 400 at the 2008 NCAA Indoor Championships, while Streeter was third at the 2008 Division II Indoor Championships.
Solomon's last 400 at the Convention Center came at the 2007 MWC Championships, where he finished second to break his father Michael's UNM record with a time of 47.00.
Former USA Indoor 400 champion James Davis - who set a Convention Center record of 46.60 in the invitational race - was the only athlete to clock a faster time than Solomon on Saturday.

Notes & Reviews:
This live recording conducted by the London Philharmonic Orchestra's highly acclaimed Principal Conductor, Vladimir Jurowski, brings together three of Britten's early works. Written just before his published Opus 1, the Double Concerto for Violin and Viola was never performed during Britten's lifetime, but already demostrates his mature style. The memorable way that the string orchestra depicts different characteristics of Britten's composition teacher in the 'Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge' led it to become Britten's first popular classic. 'Les Illuminations' sets Rimbaud's poetry in vividly realized musical images, making it the crowning masterpiece of Britten's early years.

"I don't think we are on the right road." Cathy doesn't do much back seat driving. She had good cause this time. I had no idea where we were. It was part of the plan. "Let's just drive west and see where the sun takes us….." But brother, I didn't know the plan was going to take us this far!
We'd enjoyed the early morning winding through the famed Sonoma and Napa Valleys. We were on our way to Crater Lake via, of course, the obligatory visit to the Redwood Forest. The road narrowed and became a mite twisty as we climbed out of the valley. It about ran out all together by the time Cathy shrewdly observed we might be a wee bit "turned around".
I thought about climbing a hill and seeing if I could spot some tall redwoods…… We rounded a bend that was about halfway between no-where and you-can't-get-there-from-here when I saw the detour sign. I was thinking "we are already on a detour" when I realized the orange cones were simply directing traffic off the ribbon thin road into this large field. That's when we saw the campers; and RVs; and the line of port-a-potties; and the huge stage.
Folks, we are in the back woods somewhere between San Francisco and the Oregon state line and there is a whole raft of people congregating in an old cow pasture like this was the most happening place on earth! It was too much for me. I wheeled in between the cones, passed under the big "18th Annual Kate Wolf Music Festival" sign, handed the lady twenty dollars and parked between an SUV with Utah plates and a horse tied to a cottonwood tree.
"Howdy," I tried to throw my best western talk on the first guy we met, "where can we find Kate Wolf"? I figured I'd go right to the source. The tall, slender fellow gave me a big grin through his overgrown mustache and correctly observed, "Ya'll must not be from around here."
"Here" was the Black Oak Ranch in Laytonville, California. Kate Wolf was a local folk singer of some note who had died, according to Buck "back in the late '80's." "Some of her friends got together years ago to sing a few of her songs and commemorate her passing and it has grown into this." Buck took his hat off when speaking of the late singer, which immediately endeared him to me. And I'd never heard of Kate Wolf.
But back in the day I was big on The Kingston Trio, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger and Trini Lopez. I was glad we were lost. Buck insisted on us joining his cousin Art and their wives at a small table they'd set up under some shade trees. The Rebirth Brass Band was tearing it up on stage. It wasn't exactly Peter, Paul and Mary, but it wasn't bad.
"Would you like some chicken?" Glenda extended the whole tray toward us. Glenda and Tanya were sisters who "had the good fortune" to "catch" Buck and Art. We quickly learned of their early dating exploits and the late night rendezvous over on Ten Mile Creek. I wasn't sure exactly who was married to whom. But they laughed a lot. And they seemed to enjoy our company as much as the music now coming from Alice Stuart and the Formerlys.
And they were proud to be from Laytonville and Mendocino County. They spoke repeatedly of "our home" and "our place". I thought not unlike I had done all of my life. They asked about my accent. I told them it was my West Tennessee upbringing mixed with a little Florida cracker. They were curious about the beaches with the white sand. I asked them about panning for gold and how did they pack grub and other necessities up those steep mountains in the winter.
They wanted to know how we "found" the festival. I explained that we were just passing through on our way to Crater Lake. We had to sample Tonya's goat cheese that had edged out all the other competitors' at the recent Mendocino County Fair. And the tea, true to the folk music code, had a little too much green in it for me. But the chicken was great, as were the potatoes fries and the corn cakes.
I asked about the Black Oak Ranch that hosted this festival each year. Art worked for them at one time and he gave us the "low down". He said that before the Kate Wolf thing took off, they used to have the annual "Hog Farm Pignic" here. I rolled that around a few times in my mind….. What a splendid concept! I told them they should have called me in 1992, I'd'a come a'running.
For a wrong turn, it turned out to be a great afternoon. I will remember the truly majestic Redwood trees. The drive up the northern coast (when Buck finally got us pointed in the right direction) was nothing short of stunning. And Crater Lake was so blue it would hurt your eyes to look at it. But, for me, the lasting memory will always be sitting around a wobbly table sharing food, music, conversation and life with some of the most regular folks I've ever met.
We have all been misinformed. California is not all Hollywood, glamour stars and wild liberals running loose. There are outstanding people in every corner of this great land of ours. The trick is to get off the beaten path of preconceived ideas and notions……..and sharing some goat cheese with them!

Nicole Farhi welcomed fashionistas to a garden party at the rather aptly venue: the Royal Horticultural Society. Her spring/summer 2012 collection showed a designer who has come into full bloom after 30 years in the industry, offering a bouquet of tulip-shaped dresses and skirts in hues of sunflower yellow, clementine orange and candy pink and rose-prints.
Farhi's love for experimenting with the fabrics was noticeable, showing tunics in exaggerated mesh and leather laser-cut flowers and plastic sequins on shirts.
And those retro orange sunglasses were amazing. We're so adding it to next year's summer shopping list!

Since the NBA charged Sterling with damaging the league due to his racist comments, they have set a hearing for June 3. That date is after other team owners will vote to decide the future of his ownership of the Clippers.
Ressler plans to " be aggressive" about making a bid, according to the report. He also made a bid to purchase the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The term junction refers to the region where the two regions of the semiconductor meet. It can be thought of as the border region between the p-type and n-type blocks as shown in the following diagram:
The most common type of solar cell is basically a large p-n junction; the free carrier pairs created by light energy are separated by the junction and contribute to current.
A common type of transistor, the bipolar junction transistor, consists of two p-n junctions in series, for example in the form n-p-n; no current can flow through it unless a separate small voltage is applied to the middle layer. The discovery of the p-n junction is usually attributed to Russell Ohl, Bell Laboratories.
The p-n junction possesses some interesting properties which have useful applications in modern electronics. A p-doped semiconductor is relatively conductive. The same is true of an n-doped semiconductor, but the junction between them is a nonconductor. This nonconducting layer, called the depletion zone, occurs because the electrical charge carriers in doped n-type and p-type silicon (electrons and holes, respectively) attract and eliminate each other in a process called recombination. By manipulating this nonconductive layer, p-n junctions are commonly used as diodes: circuit elements that allow a flow of electricity in one direction but not in the other (opposite) direction. This property is explained in terms of the forward-bias and reverse-bias effects, where the term bias refers to an application of electric voltage to the p-n junction.
In an equilibrium PN junction, electrons near the PN interface tend to diffuse into the p region. As electrons diffuse, they leave positively charged ions (donors) on the n region. Similarly holes near the PN interface begin to diffuse in the n-type region leaving fixed ions (acceptors) with negative charge. The regions nearby the PN interfaces lose their neutrality and become charged, forming the space charge region or depletion layer (see Pn-junction-equilibrium.png).
The electric field created by the space charge region opposes the diffusion process for both electrons and holes. There are two concurrent phenomena: the diffusion process that tends to generate more space charge, and the electric field generated by the space charge that tends to counteract the diffusion. The carrier concentration profile at equilibrium is shown in Pn-junction-equilibrium.png with blue and red lines. Also shown are the two counterbalancing phenomena that establish equilibrium.
The space charge region is a zone with a net charge provided by the fixed ions (donors or acceptors) that have been left uncovered by majority carrier diffusion. When equilibrium is reached, the charge density is approximated by the displayed step function. In fact, the region is completely depleted of majority carriers (leaving a charge density equal to the net doping level), and the edge between the space charge region and the neutral region is quite sharp (see Pn-junction-equilibrium.png). The space charge region has the same charge on both sides of the PN interfaces, thus it extends farther on the less doped side (the n side in figures A and B).
With a battery connected this way, the holes in the P-type region and the electrons in the N-type region are pushed towards the junction. This reduces the width of the depletion zone. The positive charge applied to the P-type material repels the holes, while the negative charge applied to the N-type material repels the electrons. As electrons and holes are pushed towards the junction, the distance between them decreases. This lowers the barrier in potential. With increasing forward-bias voltage, the depletion zone eventually becomes thin enough that the zone's electric field can't counteract charge carrier motion across the p-n junction, consequently reducing electrical resistance. The electrons which cross the p-n junction into the P-type material (or holes which cross into the N-type material) will diffuse in the near-neutral region. Therefore, the amount of minority diffusion in the near-neutral zones determines the amount of current that may flow through the diode.
Only majority carriers (electrons in N-type material or holes in P-type) can flow through a semiconductor for a macroscopic length. With this in mind, consider the flow of electrons across the junction. The forward bias causes a force on the electrons pushing them from the N side toward the P side. With forward bias, the depletion region is narrow enough that electrons can cross the junction and inject into the P-type material. However, they do not continue to flow through the P-type material indefinitely, because it is energetically favorable for them to recombine with holes. The average length an electron travels through the P-type material before recombining is called the diffusion length, and it is typically on the order of microns.
Although the electrons penetrate only a short distance into the P-type material, the electric current continues uninterrupted, because holes (the majority carriers) begin to flow in the opposite direction. The total current (the sum of the electron and hole currents) is constant in space, because any variation would cause charge buildup over time (this is Kirchhoff's current law). The flow of holes from the P-type region into the N-type region is exactly analogous to the flow of electrons from N to P (electrons and holes swap roles and the signs of all currents and voltages are reversed).
Therefore, the macroscopic picture of the current flow through the diode involves electrons flowing through the N-type region toward the junction, holes flowing through the P-type region in the opposite direction toward the junction, and the two species of carriers constantly recombining in the vicinity of the junction. The electrons and holes travel in opposite directions, but they also have opposite charges, so the overall current is in the same direction on both sides of the diode, as required.
The Shockley diode equation models the forward-bias operational characteristics of a p-n junction outside the avalanche (reverse-biased conducting) region.
Because the P-type material is now connected to the negative terminal of the power supply, the 'holes' in the P-type material are pulled away from the junction, causing the width of the depletion zone to increase. Similarly, because the N-type region is connected to the positive terminal, the electrons will also be pulled away from the junction. Therefore the depletion region widens, and does so increasingly with increasing reverse-bias voltage. This increases the voltage barrier causing a high resistance to the flow of charge carriers thus allowing minimal electric current to cross the p-n junction.
The strength of the depletion zone electric field increases as the reverse-bias voltage increases. Once the electric field intensity increases beyond a critical level, the p-n junction depletion zone breaks-down and current begins to flow, usually by either the Zener or avalanche breakdown processes. Both of these breakdown processes are non-destructive and are reversible, so long as the amount of current flowing does not reach levels that cause the semiconductor material to overheat and cause thermal damage.
The forward-bias and the reverse-bias properties of the p-n junction imply that it can be used as a diode. A p-n junction diode allows electric charges to flow in one direction, but not in the opposite direction; negative charges (electrons) can easily flow through the junction from n to p but not from p to n and the reverse is true for holes. When the p-n junction is forward-biased, electric charge flows freely due to reduced resistance of the p-n junction. When the p-n junction is reverse-biased, however, the junction barrier (and therefore resistance) becomes greater and charge flow is minimal.

Dr. Yunfeng Zhao Receives NCI Grant to Study New Cancer Treatments
Dr. Yunfeng Zhao Receives NCI Grant to Study New Cancer Treatments
Posted Date: 6/6/2012
Yunfeng Zhao, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Pharmacology, Toxicology & Neuroscience, has received a two-year National Cancer Institute grant for research that could ultimately lead to new cancer treatments. The grant is worth nearly $150,000.
Dr. Zhao's lab will try to determine if suppressing a specific enzyme which has been shown to be active during the early stages of tumor formation could prevent or inhibit certain kinds of cancer. A secondary goal of the research is to see if cell damage from too much oxygen activates the enzyme, which is known as PKM2. Oxidative damage has been implicated in the cause of many diseases, including cancer.
The scientists will study the effects of a compound made from a natural Chinese herb on skin cancer cells in mice. The herb, which is used in traditional medicine for treatment of infections and fever, has the same molecular structure as a chemical known to inhibit the PKM2. If the compound works to suppress or slow tumor formation, scientists will be able to use their new knowledge about the mechanism of the enzyme to develop drugs that target it.

Nearly $2.2 million awarded to Tompkins County for new buses
ITHACA - Tompkins County has been awarded $2.175 million in federal economic recovery money to purchase six new, modern 40 foot buses that will meet the new 2010 emission standards for diesel buses. The county will lease the buses to TCAT (Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit). The funds come from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), which Hinchey actively supported and voted for in Congress last year.
"This economic recovery funding will take six very outdated buses off the roads of Tompkins County and replace them with modern, efficient buses that will serve local residents well," Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) said. "This federal economic recovery funding will spare local taxpayers the cost associated with purchasing these much-needed buses, which play a critical role in the county's transportation system. Many residents in Tompkins County and the surrounding region depend on TCAT's bus fleet to get around the area. Without funding from the federal economic recovery bill these buses wouldn't be able to be purchased now."
TCAT, Inc. General Manager Joe Turcotte said, "The six buses we are replacing are well past their useful life by five to six years and without this stimulus money, we would not have been able to replace them. These six new buses, which are more fuel efficient, cleaner and passenger friendly, will bolster our fleet. In 2009, TCAT broke records with 3.35 million rides and having better buses are key to staying on that upward trend in the years to come. All in all, it's a net gain to our local economy and to our environment."
With the new federal economic recovery funding, TCAT will retire six buses-- three of which are 17 years-old and three of which are 18 years-old. Typically, buses should be replaced after 12 years but funding to do so has not been available. The use of new technology on the six new buses will make them cleaner, quieter, and more fuel efficient.

Watch Ellen DeGeneres 'practice' her late-night monologue as possible David Letterman replacementAdd to Favorites | The Ellen DeGeneres Show
On Thursday (April 10), Ellen DeGeneres uses the opening of her talk show, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," to address the rumors that she could be one of the people in line to replace David Letterman on "The Late Show."
"I am very flattered, but I really love doing my daytime show. And nighttime is very different. There's a lot of political humor, which I don't do," says DeGeneres. "But I feel you don't know if you're good at something until you try it. So I'm gonna see what it would look like if I did do a late night show."
The daytime host then launches in her version of a late-night monologue:
"Hey, it's been really hot in L.A. this week. So hot Steven Tyler only wore 9 scarves. Well, let's get to the news. So much happening in politics right now. Europe. Asia. Hillary Clinton. Am I right? Hey have you heard about this? The White House announced that 7 million people have signed up for coverage under Obamacare. Although if they really wanna cover people they should make hospital gowns that close in the back.
"Here, this is interesting. Last month Colorado made 3.5 million dollars in profit from marijuana. And if you ask me, that number, just like everyone in Colorado, is super high. Right Paul?"
She then does her version of a Top Ten list, though Ellen's is Top Eleven and it's her Top Eleven Pets. That's it, just their names. It's funny, though hard to convey in type. Just watch the video.
DeGeneres is obviously just have a bit of fun. Her daytime contract runs through 2017, so she's really not a frontrunner for Dave's job. ( Update: CBS announced Thursday that Stephen Colbert will take over for Letterman in 2015.)
Ellen ends the bit with a serious message for Letterman, "I would like to say, David Letterman, you are an incredibly brilliant and clever man. I've always been a fan I loved watching you. You've made us happy for over 30 years. So what better song to dedicate to you than Pharrell Williams' 'Happy.'"

The Melbourne Theatre Company are swinging into the second half of their 2012 season, and there are some gems awaiting. The Australian premiere of His Girl Friday on August 11, is one to keep an eye on. Playwright John Guare skillfully merges the original play, The Front Page, and the screen version into this modern day performance. Staring on stage will be Philip Quast and Pamela Rabe in this sly, cynical satire of tabloid journalism.
The play will tell the story of Hildy Johnson, an ace reporter who has had it with the sleazey Chicago newspaper industry. Midnight on a train heading east, Hildy finds the juiciest scoop of the year sitting right in her lap. His Girl Friday will tell the story of what is to come for Hildy Johnson.

While perusing the good stuff over at Cartoon Brew yesterday I came across this post about an Australian animator's reaction to his "discovery" of Cartoon Network. The image to the side there is a scaled-down version of his attempt to visually communicate how the experience made him feel.
I don't know about you, but I'm having a wee bit of trouble seeing the rainbows, unicorns, and happy field animals in that picture. Well, it is pretty small.
Oh, I'm just teasing. The intent is clear and gorgeously conveyed, though if you're not sure what Elliot Cowan means, he'll spell it out for us:
Last night I discovered that I had Cartoon Network on my digital signal.
I watched it for the first time.
This picture is a documentation of my experience.
What a ******* cacophony!
An assault on the ears in particular!
You know those Foghorn Leghorn cartoons where the rooster beats the dog with a fence paling?
It felt like that.
I found this fascinating. I mean, I've been watching Cartoon Network for years, so the very idea of someone happening to discover it and then experiencing it as something completely different than the rest of network programming is interesting to me, anyway. Perhaps I'm somewhat inured to it by now. After all, I can listen to children say "MAMA MAMA MAMA MAMA MAMA!!!!!" and register it as no more than a pleasant buzzing, so I'll admit my tolerance for sensory input may be quite high.
On the other hand, I felt somewhat protective of my pals at CN. I happen to enjoy many of their shows. I might even argue that a few of the more frenetic ones are my favorites because of the swirling explosion of sights and sounds all wrapped up therein. Have I been "ruined" by the high-octane versions of animation that are so popular nowadays?
I wanted to get a better sense of where Mr. Cowan was coming from, so I went and checked out some examples of his animation on YouTube. I loved it. His style is simple and some might even be tempted to call it subdued (though I think it's more subtle than subdued), and it's very, very clever. And it certainly makes me see why he would find some of the Cartoon Network offerings a bit… in-your-face.
But I'm perfectly capable of enjoying Boxhead & Roundhead and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. I'm just sayin'.

Ben O'Donoghue makes barbecued turkey on skewers with a peanut, coconut, chilli and coriander satay sauce
Method1. Combine the purées, fish sauce and turmeric together and mix into a paste. Then rub the turkey thoroughly with the marinade. Allow to stand for 30 minutes then skewer onto bamboo skewers.
2. For the satay sauce: pound the chilli and coriander in a mortar to make a paste. Add the peanut butter and combine. Stir in the remaining ingredients, and then transfer to a saucepan. Bring to the boil and simmer until thick. Season with fish sauce.
BBQ or grill the satay sticks and the cover with the sauce.
- 250 g fresh turkey steaks, cut into strips
- 1 tbsp ginger paste
- 1 tsp garlic paste
- 1 tsp lemongrass puree
- fish sauce
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- sugar
For the satay sauce (makes 250 ml)
- 1 medium red red chilli
- 2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
- 2 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 150 ml coconut milk
- 1/2 lime, juice only
- fish sauce
Tips and suggestions
- This sauce doesn't keep too well, as it tends to set when it cools and will separate if reheated. It tastes so great, there probably won't be any left over anyway.

Aircraft Pilot Training Associate Degree
The Federal Aviation Administration reports commercial aviation remains on track to carry one billion passengers by 2021 and continues to forecast long-term aviation growth.
Today, a majority of new pilots hired are civilian-trained, with opportunities in jobs such as air-taxi/charter pilot, flight instructor, cargo transporter, corporate or commercial pilot, agriculture pilot, traffic or law-enforcement pilot and more. This includes an abundance of opportunities in Texas, as the state has the largest airport network in the nation, according to the Texas Department of Transportation.
Students who attend Texas State Technical College benefit in a variety of ways. TSTC is the single largest provider of aerospace programs in Texas, and our experienced FAA-certified flight professionals in the Aircraft Pilot Training (APT) Technology can offer the critical foundation needed to succeed in the field of aviation.
Students get first-class, hands-on training and flying time on a variety of aircraft, including Cessna 172s, Diamond DA-20s and a Piper Seminole and a Piper Arrow, as well as training on two Redbird single- and multi-engine capable simulators, worldwide weather terminals and much more.
The college's unique features — top-notch equipment, a dual runway and operational control tower, combined with the fact that TSTC has the nation's largest airport owned and operated by a two-year public educational institution — puts students on a fast-track to a career in the sky as an aircraft pilot.
In approximately five semesters, students quickly rack up more airtime flight hours by obtaining an associate degree through TSTC's FAA-approved program, becoming certified as flight instructors.
Expect total immersion in flight in APT's program, from classroom studies to assignments in the sky. The Waco area offers open skies and favorable weather, conducive to a great flying experience. Students can also look forward to TSTC's new Texas Aerospace Center, complete with terminal facility, air traffic control tower and expanded programs (to open fall 2011).
For those who want to continue their education, TSTC offers an Aviation Science program with Baylor University and with Tarleton State University, where you can earn a bachelor's degree
