An improved low voltage, small surface area, high signal-to-noise ratio photo gate includes a layer of photoreceptive semiconductor material having an impurity concentration selected to enhance the formation of hole electron pairs in response to photons impinging on a surface of the substrate, an electrode extending from the surface of the substrate into the substrate a substantial distance; an insulating layer disposed between the electrode and the substrate for electrically insulating the electrode from the substrate; so that upon the application of an electrical potential to the electrode, a potential well is formed in the substrate surrounding the electrode for accumulating charge generated when photons impinge on the surface of the substrate surrounding the electrode.
1. A low voltage small area high signal to noise ratio comprising:
a layer of photoreceptive semiconductor material having a surface;
a conductive electrode extending from the surface, into the layer of semiconductor material for forming a potential well in the layer of semiconductor material upon the application of a voltage to the electrode;
a layer of insulating material between the conductive electrode and the layer of semiconductor material; and
a phototransmissive electrode on the layer of insulating material, overlaying the layer of photoreceptive semiconductor material and electrically connected to the conductive electrode.
2. The photoreceptor of claim 1 in which the conductive electrode comprises a phototransmissive material.
3. The photoreceptor of claim 1 in which the conductive electrode has an aspect ratio of between about 1 to 6 and about 1 to 8.
This invention relates generally to photo receptors, and more particularly to a photo receptor for imaging applications that exhibits a higher signal to noise ratio than photo receptors heretofore known.
Semiconductor photo detectors (photo gates) for quantifying the charge created by incident radiation generally are well known.
Photogate structures include: Active Pixels, Charge Couple Devices (CCD), Charge Injection Devices (CID) and their variants that include virtual phase, buried channel and other variations that utilize selective dopants. The selective dopants are used to control charge collection and transfer underneath and between the photogate(s) and the sense node.
Such photo detectors utilize the phenomenon by which free electrons are generated by the interaction of photons with semiconductor materials, such as silicon. In known imaging photo detectors, a variety of techniques have been employed to form a potential well for accumulating a charge created by photons impinging on the surface of the semiconductor device above the well. In a particularly useful device, a photon transmissive electrode is formed on an insulating layer on the surface of the device, so that when a potential is applied to the electrode, a potential well is formed in the semiconductor layer beneath the electrode by the depletion of majority or minority charge carriers within the region. Free electrons generated by photons impinging upon the surface of the device, and passing through the electrode, are accumulated in the well. The magnitude of the accumulated charge can subsequently be sensed either directly or by transferring the charge to a sensor region where the magnitude of the charge can be measured.
Another form of photo detector uses an implanted region of opposite conductivity type from the substrate to form a potential well without the need for an electrode overlying the photoreceptive area. This type of construction, referred to as photo diode construction, is more sensitive to certain wavelengths than the photo gate construction just described, but may exhibit lower signal to noise ratios.
One of the primary characteristics of importance for an imager is the dynamic range. The dynamic range is typically defined as the charge in a full well of the pixel to the root means square (rms) of the noise. Full well of a pixel is the total amount of carriers, electrons or holes, that a pixel will hold. In the case of a photogate, it historically has been directly related to the top surface area of the MOS capacitor that forms the photogate and to the applied bias that creates the potential well to collect the carriers.
Standardization of imager processing and shrinking feature sizes have resulted in lowered operating biases. Since, photogate structures are Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) capacitors, the amount of charge a photogate can hold is dependent on the area of the gate electrode, referred to as the top plate, that is typically made of polysilicon, and the total bias applied across the insulator. The lowered operating biases for photogates have lowered their full well correspondingly. Also, the drive toward smaller and smaller pixels for higher resolution has further reduced the surface area available and therefore the amount of charge that can be collected.
It is a problem of both photo diodes and photo gates that the signal to noise ratio is often less than optimum, the dynamic range of the device may be less than required for a particular application, and the size of the device required to obtain the necessary sensitivity may reduce the resolution of the device, that is the number of pixels that can be formed in a given area, to a lower than required number.
There is a need for photoreceptors that are, at the same time, smaller than existing constructions, exhibit greater dynamic range, and exhibit higher signal to noise ratios than those heretofore known.
The location (depth) at which free electron hole pairs are generated by photons impinging on the surface of a photoreceptor depends on the wavelength of the photons. Longer wavelengths tend to generate charge further from the surface of the device than shorter wavelengths. Therefore, it is difficult to design a photoreceptor that exhibits an even approximately linear sensitivity to light over a useful color range. Shorter wavelengths are attenuated more strongly as they pass through even largely transparent materials, such as polysilicone materials, while longer wavelengths generate free electrons at distances from the surface that may be beyond the bottom of the potential well and which therefore will usually recombine before they can be sensed.
While higher voltages can be used to form deeper potential wells, there is a demand for semiconductor devices including imagers that operate at lower rather than higher voltages and therefore it is not feasible to increase the voltage on the device in many applications.
The signal to noise ratio of a photoreceptor is generally proportional to the ratio of the surface area of the photoreceptor, that is the area of the surface of the layer on which the photoreceptor is formed that is occupied by the photoreceptor, to the total volume of the photoreceptor. Since the volume of a conventional photoreceptor increases with the cube of the linear dimension thereof, while the surface area increases with the square thereof, large photosensors exhibit a higher signal to noise ratio than small sensors. However, small sensors are desirable for achieving high resolutions. Heretofore, signal to noise ratio has placed a limit on the degree to which the size of photosensors can be reduced that is far more significant than any limitations created by process geometries or the like.
It is an object of this invention to provide a construction for a photoreceptor that overcomes one or more of the problems just mentioned.
It is another object of this invention to provide a photoreceptor that can create a potential well for accumulating a charge generated by photons impinging on the detector, which well is deeper than has heretofore been possible without the need for applying higher voltages to create the well.
It is another object of this invention to provide a photoreceptor construction that simultaneously reduces the surface area of the photoreceptor and increases the volume thereof to produce a higher signal to noise ratio.
It is another object of this invention to provide a photosensitive imager that permits a substantially higher density of picture elements (pixels) to be formed in a given area than has heretofore been possible, while at the same time providing higher signal to noise ratios and greater dynamic range than are achievable with known constructions.
Briefly stated, and in accordance with a presently preferred embodiment of the invention, an improved low voltage, small surface area, high signal-to-noise ratio photo gate includes a layer of photoreceptive semiconductor material having an impurity concentration selected to enhance the formation of hole electron pairs in response to photons impinging on a surface of the substrate, an electrode extending from the surface of the substrate into the substrate a substantial distance; an insulating layer disposed between the electrode and the substrate for electrically insulating the electrode from the substrate; so that upon the application of an electrical potential to the electrode, a potential well is formed in the substrate surrounding the electrode for accumulating charge generated when photons impinge on the surface of the substrate surrounding the electrode.
In accordance with another aspect of this invention, a photo gate in accordance with the invention comprises a charge sensor disposed in the substrate adjacent the electrode.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the electrode comprises a photo opaque metal electrode.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the electrode comprises a phototransmissive electrode.
In accordance with still another aspect of the invention, a photo gate comprises a plurality of electrodes extending from the surface of a photoresponsive site into the bulk of a substrate and means for electrically connecting the electrodes at the surface.
In accordance with still another aspect of the invention, a photo gate comprises a plurality of electrodes, arranged in an array, of at least two by two electrodes, all extending from the surface of the semiconductor body into the bulk thereof, and electrically connected at the surface.
While the novel aspects of the invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims, the invention itself, together with further aspects and advantages thereof, may be more readily comprehended by reference to the following detailed description of a presently preferred embodiment of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view of a photo gate in accordance with the prior art;
FIG. 2 is a diagram of a photogate in accordance with this invention.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the photogate of FIG. 2 taken along axis A.
FIG. 4 is a diagram of a two capacitor passive pixel in accordance with this invention.
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the pixel of FIG. 4 taken along axis B.
FIG. 6 is a diagram of a four capacitor passive in accordance with this invention.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the pixel of FIG. 6 taken along axis C.
FIG. 1 is a cross sectional view of one photogate pixel 10 that could be utilized directly as a passive type of imager such as a Charge Injection Device (CID) or Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or joined to selection circuitry and a source follower or a differential pair in an active pixel or active column sensor. First and second top plates 30, 32 are preferably formed of polysilicon; top plate 30 is preferably formed from light transmissive polysilicon.
The operation of a photogate pixel 10 is as follows:
1. Two polysilicon MOS capacitor top plates 30, 32 are physically adjacent to one another and are coupled together either by overlapping silicon at adjacent edges as in FIG. 1 or through an implant in the underlying substrate (not shown).
2. First photogate 30 is used to collect photon generated charge, by applying a greater potential on it than to the photogate 32 used for sensing. The greater bias creates a depleted region or well 34 in the underlying substrate and attracts the photon generated charge underneath it.
3. The other photogate 32 has a lower potential on it, to form a shallower depleted region 40 and the photon generated carriers aren't collected. The photogate 32 is then isolated so that it is floating. After the desired integration time has elapsed, the potential on the photogate 30 used to collect photon generated charge, is removed and the collected charge, that exists in the underlying substrate, is then coupled to the substrate under the other photogate 32. Since, the photogate 32, a MOS capacitor top plate is floating, the transfer of charge from photogate 30 causes voltage on the photogate 32 to shift according to the amount of charge transferred.
4. The new value of the top plate 32 is measured and the difference from its original bias value represents the amount of incident photons collected at the pixel.
Top plate 32 could be the sense node as described above for a passive pixel or a transfer gate for an active pixel or column sensor.
FIG. 2 shows a pixel 20 similar to the pixel shown in FIG. 1 with an added trench capacitor according to the invention. It can be seen from the cross sectional view how electrode 61 which depends from the top plate 60 has increased the overall volume of potential well 64, without increasing the top surface area to improve the capacitance of the pixel 20. The trench capacitor is formed by etching a hole 63 in the substrate 68 and forming an insulator layer 66 on the upper surface of the substrate and the inside surface of hole 63. The remainder of hole 63 is filled with a conductive material such as polysilicon or metal and is electronically connected to the top plate 60. Top plate 62 may also form a trench capacitor as shown in FIG. 4.
The trench capacitor 60 has the additional benefits of increasing the depth of the depleted volume in the substrate and enhancing the ability to collect photon generated carriers that form deep in the substrate. If photon generated carriers produced by long wavelength photons form far enough away from the top plate 30 of FIG. 1, they may recombine before they are collected by the top plate 30. The depleted volume under the top plate is dependent on the substrate doping concentration and the bias applied to the top plate. For a given dopant concentration and bias limits that are predetermined by a wafer process, the depletion depth from the top plate of prior art 30, FIG. 1 is fixed. The improved photogate of FIG. 2 increases the total capacitance of the photogate without increasing the top surface area and increases the depletion depth for improved collection efficiency without increased biasing potentials.
FIG. 3 is a layout representative of the pixel 20 of FIG. 2. The Photo Gate 60 of FIG. 2 comprises a layer of polysilicon 60 poly 1 and the trench capacitor formed is electrode 61 by the area of poly 1 of FIG. 3. The Tx gate of FIG. 2 (#62) is illustrated in FIG. 3 as poly 2. Although not drawn to scale, the capacitance ratio of a trench capacitor to a surface planar capacitor, as illustrated by FIG. 3 can be 18 to 1. Trench capacitors according to the invention have an aspect ratio of about 1 to 6 through 1 to 8 for surface diameter to trench depth, depending on the particular process used to form the electrode. This increase in capacitance can be used to increase the exposed silicon surface area to collect photon generated charge (quantum efficiency) or to greatly shrink the size of a given pixel maintaining the same dynamic range or greatly increase the storage capacity (dynamic range) of the pixel. Whatever the trade off an engineer uses for a given pixel application, the depth at which a photon generated charge can be captured is increased for a given bias over prior art using a planar photogate.
FIG. 4 shows a passive pixel according to this invention utilizing two trench capacitors to take advantage of any or all of the above listed attributes. Here the collection photo gate (P.G.) 60 and the transfer gate (T.G.) 62 include trench capacitors 61 and 65 respectively. This will allow either more storage capacity for greater dynamic range or a smaller surface area of the silicon being consumed by polysilicon for greater quantum efficiency (Q.E.). Trench capacitors 61 and 65 are used to collect change on 61 and then sense change on 65.
FIG. 5 is a potential layout for FIG. 4. There is more exposed silicon available to generate photon generated charge at all wavelengths. The transfer gate of FIG. 4 is composed of a second layer of polysilicon and a possible implementation of that pixel is shown here in FIG. 5. Notice how now there is more exposed silicon available to generate photon generated charge to all wavelengths; including, the shorter blue and ultra violet (U.V.) wavelengths. Notice how the dual trench configuration allows for more exposed silicon for enhanced quantum efficiency (Q.E.), while maintaining the same dynamic range.
FIG. 6 is another implementation of a quad trench capacitor with a transfer gate. This pixel design has another advantage if allowing the collection Photogate 1 (PG 1) and the Storage Photogate 2 (PG2) to be biased to the maximum that the process will allow. By operating both photogates at the maximum bias, the dynamic range of the pixel is doubled. Previous pixel designs illustrated in this patent allow only one of the photogates to operate at one half of the maximum operating bias the process will allow. The previous pixel designs are limited to collecting half the charge (q=CV) and therefore half the dynamic range. In this configuration the collection PG and what previously was the TX gate becomes an identical photo gate (PG2) that is electrically isolated by the transfer gate (TX).
FIG. 7 is a potential layout for FIG. 6. In this example layout, both photogates are comprised of two trench capacitors each. The photogates are isolated by the transfer gate. When photogate PG1 has been depleted and exposed for the proper length of time, photogate 2 is then depleted and transfer gate is also turned on (depleted). The potential of the first photogate PG1 is removed and all the collected charge is transferred into photo gate PG2. There are variations of operating the photogates in this example and previous ones, that can be done to enhance various characteristics like, nondestructive reading, signal storage, etc.
While the invention has been described in detail in connection with the presently preferred embodiments, there are modifications and variations of the photogate and trench capacitor that may be made without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Top 10 be damned. Well, I'm afraid this list is going to be a bit disappointing. The top 2 games on the list are sort of their by default, as they are really the only two games I completed this year that were actually released this year and felt comfortable enough with to put on a top games list. So without further ado:
5. Demon's Souls - Now, I know what you're thinking. What isn't Dark Souls in this spot? Well, if it will make you feel better, just imagine it is. It doesn't make much of a difference, does it? But I haven't played Dark Souls yet because I'm a bad person (and I think it would be weird to play it without beating Demons Souls, which I still haven't done by the way). I really don't know why I like this game, anyway. It's not easy to explain with the English language, so maybe Japanese would work better. ファック。このゲームは狂気です。私は私の人生を憎む。
4. Dragon Age Origins - Yeesh. I got this game for Christmas last year, and played it in January. So I'm going to say it counts. And what a game. I'm not ashamed to admit that I didn't like Mass Effect all that much. My favorite part of the game was actually the beginning, wandering around the Citadel. I thought the narrative tricks Bioware is known for were all rather lame and predictable, and the ending did absolutely nothing for me. So enter Dragon Age, I had pretty muted expectations. And I couldn't have been more impressed. The morality system wasn't dreadfully mundane, the narrative, while not groundbreaking, was engaging and well-told. And it had a pretty satisfying ending.
3. League of Legends - This game is actually the source of where my year went wrong. I put in about 500 hours into this game in 2011 and only recently have been able to 'put it on the shelf' for a bit. I don't want get into a MOBA discussion on why this game's mechanics are better than DotA 2 or HoN, but there is a simplicity and elegance to League of Legends that makes it a damn fun game and one I can't seem to stop playing. Bi-weekly content patching and pretty good balance don't hurt. (We'll make believe Dominion never happened. That mode pretty much blows.) I know I won't be the only person on this website with this game on their list this year. If you don't like it, FINE. I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO LIKE IT ANYWAY.
2. Bastion - I don't like this game as much as others. If I had played Skyrim, LA Noire, Skyward Sword, Battlefield 3, Batman Arkham City, or Rayman, this could have easily been bumped off. It was, or is, a neat premise and the game is easy to play through and complete, and it has a tasteful ending which is the hardest thing to do for video game developers apparently. (Watch a fucking movie, for fuck's sake.) I felt like if this game went on any longer, it would've outstayed its welcome, which is a credit for the developers for knowing when to stop.
1. Portal 2 - This is a perfect video game. Or at least, what I expect a perfect video game to be. The humor was sublime, the puzzles were impeccable, the ending was nuts. Yeah, I understand the argument that it wasn't as good as the first. But Valve managed to make a game that, apart from the fundamental premise, feels nothing like the first. If a book was written on how to make an appropriate sequel to a beloved game, Portal 2 would be chapter one. They didn't try to be cute with themes the first game established. They went beyond and built something grander and different, without ignoring what made the first game great in the first place. I don't know how they keep doing it. Bring on Episode 3, Half-Life 3, whatever. Just keep making games.
So, perhaps if I had played about a dozen other games (To the Moon, Witcher 2, Dirt 3, Ico/Shadow of the Colossus collection, Deus Ex, Dead Space 2, Uncharted 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, well let's not get carried away with that last one) my list would be a bit more complete. But whatever, I did my best asshole. Why don't you go take an arrow to the groin.
P.S. Games that will be on my top 5 games of 2012 list: Diablo 3.

Gilroy Gardens
- This park is truly a hidden gem, and the parks theme and purpose should not change AT ALL
- That being said, invest some $$ into the park. Some new family themed rides (again, dark ride!!!) and a new coaster or two (again, themed to the park and it's purpose as a "family" park). Maybe a smaller wooden coaster like wooden warrior at Quassy (video below). This could be a GREAT addition to the park. Make it small like that one, but through the trees and gardens of Gilroy Gardens would be amazing. There is plenty of room for something like this near the Rock Maze at the back of the park.
Bear in mind that Cedar Fair doesn't own Gilroy Gardens, it has the operating contract only. Any major additions to the park are at the discretion of the actual owner. It was originally owned by a trust set up by the Bonfante family, but I seem to recall that it's now that it belongs to the City of Gilroy.

Too funny: MassGOP buys Elizabeth Warren an Ancestry.com membership for her birthday
Oh, this is too funny. The merry pranksters at the MassGOP sent out a press release this morning, saying that as a gift for Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren's 63rd birthday, they had bought her an Ancestry.com membership:
MassGOP's Gift To Elizabeth Warren On Her 63rd Birthday: A Complimentary Ancestry.com Account
Boston – Nearly two months after Elizabeth Warren's false claims to Native American heritage first surfaced, the Massachusetts Republican Party is today offering the Harvard Professor a complimentary account to Ancestry.com to commemorate her 63rd birthday.
"Since Professor Warren has failed to come up with any evidence supporting her claims to Native American ancestry, we thought this Ancestry.com account would make the perfect birthday gift," said Nate Little, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Republican Party. "If she takes the time to log-in to her gift, Warren will see what has been abundantly clear to everyone else for months: she is not a Native American. If Professor Warren still refuses to meet with the real Cherokees in Boston this week to accept their evidence, this research tool will make it all the more difficult for her to continue to deny the truth. Quite simply, her convenient claims to Native American heritage, timed just so, are entirely unfounded."
Should Professor Warren take up the offer, the account information will be emailed to her campaign staff immediately.
MassGOP's snarky gift comes after the Warren campaign has been running an online ad campaign asking supporters to donate for her birthday.
Also debuting today: a Tumblr blog, "63 Things: #63things you won't find at Elizabeth Warren's Birthday Party," along with an accompanying hashtag game on Twitter, #63things.

WordPress Popular Posts is a highly customizable widget that displays the most popular posts on your blog.
First thing to do is read all the online documentation available (Installation, Usage, Wiki, and of course this section) as they should address most of the questions you might have about this plugin (and even more info can be found via wp-admin > Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > FAQ).
If you're having problems with WPP, my first suggestion would be try disabling all other plugins and then re-enable each one to make sure there are no conflicts. Also, try switching to a different theme and see if the issue persists. Checking the Support Forum and the issue tracker is also a good idea as chances are that someone else has already posted something about it. Remember: read first. It'll save you (and me) time.
The idea of creating this plugin came from the need to know how many people were actually reading each post. Unfortunately, WordPress doesn't keep views count of your posts anywhere. Because of that, and since I didn't find anything that would suit my needs, I ended up creating WordPress Popular Posts: a highly customizable, easy-to-use WordPress plugin with the ability to keep track of what's popular to showcase it to the visitors!
Since WordPress doesn't store views count (only comments count), this plugin stores that info for you. When you sort your popular posts by views, WordPress Popular Posts will retrieve the views count it started caching from the time you first installed this plugin, and then rank the top posts according to the settings you have configured in the plugin. WordPress Popular Posts can also rank the popularity of your posts based on comments count as well.
There are a number of reasons that might explain why you are seeing this message: no one has seen or commented on your posts/pages since WordPress Popular Posts activation, you should give it some time; your current theme does not have the wp_head() tag in its <head> section, required by my plugin to keep track of what your visitors are viewing on your site; WordPress Popular Posts was unable to create the necessary DB tables to work, make sure your hosting has granted you permission to create / update / modify tables in the database; if you're using a caching plugin -such as W3 Total Cache- you need to clear its cache once right after installing/upgrading this plugin.
Yes, there are other choices: you can use the wpp shortcode, which allows you to embed your popular listing directly in the content of your posts and/or pages; or you can use the wpp_get_mostpopular() template tag. Both options are highly customizable via parameters, check them out via wp-admin > Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > Parameters.
By default, WordPress Popular Posts won't count views generated by logged in users. If your blog requires readers to be logged in to access its contents (or just want WPP to count your own views) please go to wp-admin > Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > Tools and set Log views from to Everyone.
If you're using the widget, simply activate the Use custom HTML markup option and set your desired configuration and Content Tags (see wp-admin > Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > Parameters for more); or if you're using the template tag / shortcode, use the wpp_start, wpp_end and post_html parameters (see wp-admin > Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > Parameters for more).
A more advanced way to customize the HTML markup is via WordPress filters by hooking into wpp_custom_html or wpp_post. For details, please check the Filters page on the Wiki.
You can find it via wp-admin > Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > Parameters.
Please check that either the ImageMagick or GD extension is installed and enabled by your host.
WordPress Popular Posts has three different thumbnail options to choose from available at wp-admin > Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > Tools: Featured Image (default), First image on post, or custom field. If no images are found, a default thumbnail will be displayed instead.
Make sure you have assigned one to your posts (see previous question).
Fortunately, yes. Go to wp-admin > Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > Tools and check under Thumbnail source. Ideally, the thumbnail you're going to use should be set already with your desired width and height - however, the uploader will give you other size options as configured by your current theme.
Simply add your custom post type to the Post Type field in the widget (or if you're using the template tag / shortcode, use the post_type parameter).
If you go to wp-admin > Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > Tools, you'll find two buttons that should do what you need: Clear cache and Clear all data. The first one just wipes out what's in cache (Last 24 hours, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, etc.), keeping the historical data (All-time) intact. The latter wipes out everything from WordPress Popular Posts data tables - even the historical data. Note that this cannot be undone so proceed with caution.
Starting from version 3.0.0, WPP checks for WordPress Multisite. While I have not tested it, WPP should work just fine under WPMU (but if it doesn't, please let me know).
Yes, but there are no predefined styles (well, almost). WordPress Popular Posts will first look into your current theme's folder for the wpp.css file and use it if found so that any custom CSS styles made by you are not overwritten, otherwise will use the one bundled with the plugin.
Copy your modified wpp.css file to your theme's folder, otherwise my plugin will use the one bundled with it by default.
Since this plugin does not include any predefined designs, it's up to you to style your most popular posts list as you like (you might need to hire someone for this if you don't know HTML/CSS, though). However, I've gathered a few examples that should get you started.
You can disable the stylesheet via wp-admin > Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > Tools.
Yes, check the Other Notes section for more information.
First thing you need to do is get a gettext editor like Poedit to translate all texts into your language. You'll find several .PO files bundled with the plugin under the lang folder. If you're planning to add a new language, grab wordpress-popular-posts.po and rename it to add the proper suffix for your language (eg. wordpress-popular-posts-es_ES.po, for Spanish). In any case, open the PO file using Poedit (or your preferred gettext editor) and update the strings there. It sounds complicated, I know, but it's not.
Check this handy guide, in case you get lost at some point. If you're interested in sharing your translation with others (or just helped update a current translation), please let me know.
If it fits the nature of my plugin and it sounds like something others would like to have, there's a pretty good chance that I will implement it (and if you can provide some sample code with useful comments, much better).
If the theme/plugin you're talking about is a free one that can be downloaded from somewhere, sure I can try and take a look into it. Premium themes/plugins are out of discussion though, unless you're willing to grant me access to your site (or get me a copy of this theme/plugin) so I can check it out.
Updates will come depending on my work projects (I'm a full-time web developer) and the amount of time I have on my hands. Quick releases will happen only when/if critical bugs are spotted.
Chances are that your question has been already answered either at the Support Forum, the Installation section, the Wiki or even here in the FAQ section, so I've decided not to answer. It could also happen that I'm just busy at the moment and haven't been able to read your post yet, so please be patient.
For the time being, the Support Forum is the only way to contact me. Please do not use my email to get in touch with me unless I authorize you to do so.

Madrid beats Barcelona 3-1 in Copa del Rey semisAP Photo
Real Madrids Cristiano Ronaldo, left, celebrates with teammates Alvaro Arbeloa, center, and Sergio Ramos during Tuesdays 3-1 victory over FC Barcelona.
BARCELONA, Spain Cristiano Ronaldo got the better of Lionel Messi on Tuesday, scoring twice to lead Real Madrid to a 3-1 win at Barcelona and a spot in the Copa del Rey final.
After the first leg of their semifinal ended 1-1, Madrid neutralized Barcelonas passing game and counterattacked to perfection at the Camp Nou to hand its archrival its first home loss in any competition since last April.
It was also a second straight cup setback for the Catalan club, which is running away with the Spanish league but lost 2-0 at AC Milan in the first leg of its Champions League last-16 matchup.
While Messi had a quiet night, Ronaldo scored for a sixth straight visit to Camp Nou when he earned and converted a penalty in the 13th minute. Ronaldo hit again on the break in the 57th before Raphael Varane got his second goal of the series in the 68th.
Jordi Alba pulled a late goal back for defending champion Barcelona, but it was much too late to prevent Madrid from going through 4-2 on aggregate.
Madrid will play either Atletico Madrid or Sevilla in the cup final on May 18.
For Barcelona, it was their worst defeat to Madrid since losing 4-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu in 2008.
Barcelona suffered the same problems it had against Milan, unable to convert its better share of possession into goals, while its defense again proved brittle as it allowed goals for the 12th straight match.
Barcelona was again without coach Tito Vilanova, who is still undergoing treatment in New York after having a second tumor in two years removed from his throat in December.
Barcelona, which was again led by assistant coach Jordi Roura, has five wins, three draws and three losses since mid-January.
It faces Madrid again on Saturday in another clasico, that time away in the league. Barcelona already has a firm grip of that title, with a 12-point lead atop the standings and with defending champion Madrid even further back.MORE IN Sports WireNEW YORK Toronto third baseman Josh Donaldson and Seattle designated hitter Nelson Cruz have...

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
ELMIRA, NY – The Elmira College Soaring Eagles (1-0) got the only goal they needed from Giovanni Rodriquez at 13:24 of the first half to earn a 1-0 win over the visiting Hilbert College Hawks on Saturday. The loss drops the Hawks to 1-0 on the young season.
Hilbert keeper Tommy Cone (Rapid City, SD/Lincoln) turned away three shots in the losing effort while the Hawks mustered only two shots on goal at the offensive end.
Despite the loss, first-year Hilbert coach Rick Couell was satisfied with his team's effort. "I was very pleased with what I saw considering this was our first taste of live action together," said Couell. "Holding them scoreless in the second half keep us in it."
The Hawks play their first home contest of the 2005 season on Tuesday, September 6 against local foe Medaille College at 5:00 pm.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

"Tree-hugging liberal" is a term that illustrates the common view that the left is the party more aligned with environmental causes, but could it be that conservatives are the true environmentalists?
Todd Meyers, writer Of "Eco-Fads: How the Rise of Trendy Environmentalism Is Harming the Environment" and a Wall Street Journal expert panelist for energy and the environment, tells 770 KTTH's David Boze that while the left engages in a lot of visible "green" efforts, they're not always the best environmental solutions.
"Washington state brags that it has the greenest prison in the country. Part of being the greenest prison is we spent $880,000 as taxpayers to put solar panels on that," says Meyers. "Over the next 25 years, those solar panels will produce about $175,000 worth of electricity, and the environmental value of the carbon reduced is about $10,000. So for $880,000 we got about $180,000 worth of energy and environmental benefit.
"That is a tremendous waste of resources and the reason we did it is because it feels good, right? Solar panels are cool."
Meyers says conservative policies protecting the free market are actually more beneficial to the environment than big showy efforts concocted by the government.
"While government solutions focus on making us feel good about ourselves, and look good," says Meyers, "in the free market, farmers have to pay for fertilizer. They don't want to put any more fertilizer on the ground than they have to, so there is a natural incentive for them to do more with less.
"That is the greatest thing that the free market is good at, is doing more with less," says Meyers. "If you look around, you find that the solutions that have helped the environment, clean air, clean water, using fewer resources, come from the free market, not from politicians."
Government regulation in many ways can actually be a hindrance to the environment, Meyers says, pointing out the current controversy over the city council's dealings with new rideshare services in the city.
"Even the environmental community recognizes that ridesharing services are more environmentally friendly, use less gas overall, but the City of Seattle is blocking them or restricting them," says Meyers. "So what we see more often, is government regulations are stuck in the past and technology streaks ahead of it, and government simply can't keep up."
The free market is quicker at innovating and bringing about more environmentally-friendly technologies, Meyers explains.
"The Prius wasn't created by politicians. It was created by the free market," says Meyers. "Toyota didn't have subsidies, didn't have a mandate to create a hybrid vehicle. Politicians didn't know what the heck a hybrid vehicle was in the 1990s. It was only three years after the Prius came out that politicians jumped on the bandwagon."
"So the irony is that, that Prius driver who is lecturing, who probably will lecture about all the need for government intervention, is driving around in a car the government didn't invent, the free market did."

Stephen Curry tops NBA jersey list for first time in career
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Stephen Curry has surpassed LeBron James for the most popular jersey in the NBA.
The Golden State Warriors star and league MVP topped the list of jersey sales in the NBA for the first time Tuesday. With teammates Klay Thompson ranking fifth and Draymond Green at No. 15, the Warriors also led the team-merchandise sales list during the playoffs.
James, who held the top spot at the end of the regular season, dropped to second. Derrick Rose is third and Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving is fourth.
DeAndre Jordan seeks 4-year deal, wants bigger role
Free agent DeAndre Jordan is likely looking to sign a four-year deal that allows him to opt out after three seasons, which would nullify the Los Angeles Clippers' advantage in keeping the center, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.
The Clippers could offer Jordan a deal that includes a fifth year worth $27 million.
Sources, though, told ESPN that Jordan wants a bigger role in the offense and is tired of being a third wheel behind Chris Paul and Blake Griffin with the team.
Jordan will meet with the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks and the Clippers once free agency begins Wednesday at 12:01 a.m. ET, sources told ESPN.
Sources had told ESPN.com earlier this week that the Mavericks are considered the likeliest team to persuade Jordan to leave the Clippers, and a source close to the situation told ESPN on Tuesday that it's "50/50" between the two teams.
Jordan finished first in the league in field goal percentage (.710) and rebounds per game (15.0) in 2014-15. He was the first player to do so in back-to-back seasons since Wilt Chamberlain in 1971-72 and 1972-73. Jordan's field goal percentage was the second highest in NBA history behind Chamberlain's .727 in 1972-73.
NBA Free Agency Buzz: Live Coverage

Jimmy Butler mulls length of Bulls deal, postpones meetings with others
The Chicago Bulls offered Jimmy Butler a maximum five-year, $90 million contract Monday, leading the restricted free agent to postpone meetings with several others teams as he decides how many years to re-sign with the Bulls for, sources said.
Butler could do a four-year deal with a player option after three years to capitalize on new salary-cap money. The Bulls also offered him a one-year qualifying offer of $4.5 million, sources said.
Under rules of the collective bargaining agreement, the Bulls' two offers mean if Butler were inclined to sign with another team, the minimum length of that contract would be three years.
After receiving the max offer Monday, Butler postponed meetings with the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers and Dallas Mavericks, sources said.
Butler had one of the biggest breakout seasons in recent memory this past season for the Bulls, becoming an All-Star for the first time, while averaging 20.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists a game. He became one of the best two-way players in the game and guarded the opposition's best perimeter player on a nightly basis.
Bulls executive vice president John Paxson was already on record as saying the team would match any offer sheet Butler would sign this summer, but the hope within the organization was that it could work out a deal beforehand.
Free agency starts Wednesday.
ESPN.com's Nick Friedell contributed to this report.
Sources: Aldridge to start free agency with Lakers, Rockets
The Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets will get the first opportunities to meet with LaMarcus Aldridge shortly after the free-agency period officially begins at 12:01 a.m. ET Wednesday.
Aldridge also will meet with the San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns and Toronto Raptors on Wednesday and with the New York Knicks on Thursday, league sources told ESPN.com.
According to one source, the chance of Aldridge staying with the Portland Trail Blazers is "very unlikely."
Knicks star Carmelo Anthony has already called Aldridge, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard.
The Knicks will emphasize that in the Eastern Conference, the road to becoming an All-Star and a playoff team is much less clogged than in the West.
ESPN.com reported in May that the Spurs and Mavericks strongly believe they'll have a great shot to lure Aldridge back to his home state of Texas. But sources said last week that Aldridge is actually thinking more and more about a free-agent jump to the Lakers.
D'Angelo Russell's goal with Lakers? Adding to 10 trophies: 'There's room'
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- A half hour before D'Angelo Russell was introduced to local media at the Los Angeles Lakers' practice facility here Monday, the team's No. 2 overall pick in last week's draft stood in the second-floor office of team president Jeanie Buss.
There, the former Ohio State standout marveled at the 10 Larry O'Brien Championship trophies lining her window that overlooks the practice court, each one from a title the organization has won since it moved to Los Angeles.
The promising 19-year-old guard stared at them, touched them and posed for pictures alongside them, at one point stretching his nearly 6-foot-10 wingspan across seven of the glistening gold trophies as he smiled for the cameras.
"I've never seen the trophy," he told ESPN.com. "The big guy that everybody wants to play for, I've never seen it. Never touched it. So I wanted to take advantage of it. It's something that I definitely want to be apart of -- getting a new one up there. There's room."
Winning a title is an annual expectation for the storied franchise, and there are already equally enormous expectations for Russell, the team's highest draft pick since taking James Worthy No. 1 overall in 1982.
When Russell was drafted, Lakers coach Byron Scott said Russell had the potential to be a "superstar" and mentioned him in the same breath as Magic Johnson (whom Scott played alongside) and Chris Paul (whom Scott has coached).
And when Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak called Russell on the night he was drafted, Kupchak referenced the retired jerseys hanging in the Lakers' facility and said he hoped Russell would one day join them.
Indeed, there's pressure on Russell to not only live up to the hype but to help the franchise rebound after missing the playoffs each of the last two seasons and finishing a franchise-worst 21-61 last season.
Russell, the team's most dynamic point guard since Johnson, feels the pressure, too.
"Definitely," he said. "It's a whirlwind. These guys aren't used to losing, so for them to pick me and pick these other guys, you know they're ready to start the rebuilding process over. We don't know how much Kobe [Bryant] has left in the tank, but he's a part of it. He's a leader of it. For us to learn under him and all these young guys we have, it's something that can really get going quick."
Russell comprises a young core that includes fellow first-round pick Larry Nance Jr.
Larry Nance Jr. says he was 'terrified' of Kobe Bryant's reaction to tweet
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Lakers first-round draft pick Larry Nance Jr. said he was "terrified" of his new teammate Kobe Bryant's potential reaction to a tweet Nance sent in 2012 that referred to a sexual assault case involving Bryant.
"You hear all the stories about how Kobe, or Mr. Bryant, is so intense and just always on edge," Nance said when he and the team's other draft picks were introduced at the Lakers' practice facility on Monday.
"I was nervous to send him a long message and then just get an 'Okay,' or not a response at all. I'm just so, so glad he handled that in the manner he did. I still could be up here with a stomach in my knot, or a knot in my stomach. But he did a terrific job and I can't thank him enough for forgiving me."
Speaking at the BET Experience at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles on Saturday night during a sit-down interview with ESPN's Jemele Hill, Bryant said "there's no need" for any further discussion about the matter with Nance, the Lakers' 27th overall pick out of the University of Wyoming.
"The kid figured it out himself," Bryant said. "He's a kid, man. He actually sent me a great message [Friday], which is really funny. I looked at it [the message], and it was like, 'This is when you know it's about time to hang these things up, when your teammate writes you, Hi, Mr. Bryant.'
Lakers hope legacy continues with D'Angelo Russell
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Monday afternoon, four days after D'Angelo Russell was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers, minutes after he held up his gold No. 1 jersey in front of the Lakers-logoed backdrop to provide all the tangible evidence he needed, Russell still said he was "shocked" that the whole thing happened at all.
We were shocked too, shocked that the Lakers would stray from history and pass up a big man like Jahlil Okafor to take a point guard. Except it shouldn't be shocking. Not at all. The Lakers' history of winning with big men, from Mikan to Wilt to Kareem to Shaq to Pau, is the very reason they needed to grab a great point guard.
Supreme centers have been easy to come by for this franchise. Point guards have been more elusive. Here's the list of everyone who has spent time as the Lakers' primary point guard for at least one season since Earvin "Magic" Johnson retired on Nov. 7, 1991:
• Sedale Threatt • Nick Van Exel • Derek Harper • Derek Fisher • Ron Harper • Lindsey Hunter • Gary Payton • Chucky Atkins • Smush Parker • Steve Nash • Kendall Marshall • Jordan Clarkson
That averages out to a new point guard every couple of years. Yes, Payton is in the Hall of Fame and Nash is on his way, but their time in Lakerland was much like Smokey Robinson and Patti LaBelle on the mike at Sunday's BET Awards show: more of an acknowledgment for what they'd done in the past than a recognition of current contributions. Fisher had the longest and most productive time of those on the list, contributing to five championship teams. His success also came in the triangle offensive scheme that did not emphasize point guards.
No point guard has represented the Lakers in an All-Star Game since Van Exel in 1998. Shaquille O'Neal, Pau Gasol
Lakers decline Jordan Hill's option to free up money for free agency
The Los Angeles Lakers will not be picking up their $9 million team option on forward Jordan Hill, league sources told ESPN.
The Lakers have an interest in re-signing Hill during free agency, but the move was made at the moment to help add salary-cap space as the Lakers enter free agency in pursuit of several big-name players, sources said.
Hill was in a tight spot, as the Lakers face a logjam at the forward position with Julius Randle, Larry Nance Jr., Tarik Black and Ryan Kelly currently on their roster. There is also Ed Davis, who declined his $1.1 million player option for a longer, more lucrative deal.
After declining Hill's option, the Lakers will have about $23 million in spending power as they target several frontcourt players in free agency, including Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge, Memphis' Marc Gasol, the Clippers' DeAndre Jordan, Cleveland's Kevin Love and Detroit's Greg Monroe.
Hill was a bright spot in an otherwise dismal 2014-15 season for the Lakers.
First big man to sign in free agency
Mavericks seen as likeliest to lure DeAndre Jordan from Clippers
The Dallas Mavericks are widely considered the likeliest team in the league to persuade free-agent center DeAndre Jordan to leave the Los Angeles Clippers, according to league sources.
Sources told ESPN.com that the Mavericks are the team feared most by the Clippers even though Jordan is expected to meet with at least two more teams: the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers.
Mavericks small forward Chandler Parsons, who regards himself to be Dallas' lead recruiter on free agent matters, visited Jordan in Houston last weekend and traveled to Los Angeles immediately after Thursday's draft to spend more time with the big man.
Both Parsons and Jordan are represented by L.A.-based Relativity Sports and agent Dan Fegan. Parsons helped recruit Dwight Howard, another Fegan client, to Houston two years ago.
The Milwaukee Bucks, sources say, are also among teams hoping to get a meeting with Jordan, who was an All-NBA third team selection this past season after leading the league in both field goal percentage (71.3) and rebounding (15.0 per game).
But sources close to the situation said Sunday night that Jordan's decision most likely will come down to the Clippers and the Mavericks.
Kobe's advice to Lakers rookies: 'Ask why'
Two days after the NBA draft, during which the Los Angeles Lakers selected three players, Kobe Bryant said he has one thing he wants them to do.
"Ask why -- why did things happen?" Bryant said Saturday night at the BET Experience held at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles during a sit-down interview with ESPN's Jemele Hill.
"I think players nowadays have become conditioned to do x, y and z. So you have coaches at the high-school level, college level, then the professional level, they tell you, 'Do this, do that, do this, do that,' as opposed to teaching players what questions to ask.
"So when you're watching the game or playing the game, and he runs a pick-and-roll and all of the sudden the man is open in the corner and he hits the man in the corner and he knocks down a shot, you don't want to just have that thing happen on accident. You want to know why that happened.
"So you want to be able to read defensive packages and say, 'OK, when I come off the screen-and-roll, the big did this, the weak side did that, therefore that's open. And if I come here, now they make an adjustment; now that's not open and that's why that's open, but now that's not open and that means this one is open.' It's to get them thinking why things happen. I think that's the most important thing for young players to understand."
The Lakers drafted Ohio State guard D'Angelo Russell second overall, University of Wyoming forward Larry Nance Jr. 27th overall and Stanford wing Anthony Brown 34th overall.

Bad weather kiboshes US job growth; Nexen Q4 earnings 0 commentsThis morning's released additions to US Non-Farm job payrolls for the month of January were 100,000 LESS than the consensus estimate. Commodities, particularly oil and refined energy products, took it on the chin.Another factor causing crude weakness was the advent of peace breaking out in Tahrir Square in Cairo today, and talk that President Hosni Mubarak may agree to step down, at least in name. These prices at 12:15pm:March WTI Crude Oil (NYSEARCA:OIL) at $88.75 down $1.79 (2%)March Heating Oil at $2.715 down 5.24 cents (2%)March RBOB at $2.432 down 7.2 cents (3%)According to Bloomberg News Service, 886,000 Americans didn't show up for work due to bad weather, versus an average of 282,000 in the five preceding January's.We predicted this short-term event and last Monday voiced it during an interview on the Business News Network. Here is the clip http://thebcmireport.com/media.htmWeather was terrible on the US Northeast Coast just after the Christmas holidays, with massive flight interruptions. The weather has been snowy all month, and this week's storm added to the misery.People not driving to work reduces gasoline consumption, and Wednesday the EIA reported a 6.2 million bbl jump in gasoline blending component inventories for the week ending January 28, 2011. The API had reported a gain of 1.7 million bbls the day before.Flight cancellations and other travel interruptions directly impact demand for the aircraft fuel kerajet, a distillate similar to heating oil. We saw international air travel disrupted in the UK and the US over the holiday season and again this week.The drop in kerajet is offset by cold weather usage of heating oils. The EIA reported a drop of 1.6 million bbls of distillates.Overall product demand in the US has notched down to 19 million bbls per day in the month of January after running at a 19.5 million rate a couple of months ago.Gold (NYSEARCA:GLD) is also down today, with Feb futures at $1,347.20, down $5.10, after a spirited rally yesterday.For oil and gold bulls, peaceful negotiation in Egypt, which is the latest billing, is a dirty phrase.Traders looking for an "event" such as a political overthrow in Egypt, the Suez-Med pipeline being bombed, the Suez canal being attacked or closed, have been sorely disappointed.Another bearish factor is that China entered a week long holiday yesterday, so the biggest source of crude oil demand growth, has probably slowed down its purchasing for the short-term.Where does this leave commodity bulls, other than hanging out in the wind?I believe we still have a significant chance of an "event". Yesterday's bloody riots were probably a prelude and predictable.I've often heard the expression "do not trust Greeks bearing gifts".We'll, I'd extend that dubious honor to our brothers and sisters on the other side of the Mediterranean. There is still a large chance the situation in Egypt could devolve into armed strife, creating consternation amongst the Western powers, and anxiety and unrest in other Arab nations.Therefore, it is worth owning a crude oil play, particularly one that is leveraged to Brent grades.Trading Note: Nexen Inc. (NXY)
The fact Opti-Canada has hired an investment advisor to explore its capital structure alternatives was taken as a sign the company is under financial distress and probably going bankrupt.I looked over Opti-Canada just a few weeks ago, and was very aware their $2.7 billion debt represented a threat to their survival. The stock (OPC-TSX) was 78 cents a few weeks ago and is now 36 cents.The market sold Nexen aggressively yesterday due to concern the Company will buyout the 35% of the Long Lake project that will become available during any Opti-Canada financial restructuring.The market is probably also concerned Nexen will not be able to have a partner to finance future stages of Long Lake expansion, including the Kinosis project.We believe every diamond in the rough has some dirt on it. Nexen suffers from its prior problems at Long Lake and outages at Buzzard in the North Sea, many of which have been out of its control.But we forecast Nexen to generate over 50% of its after-royalty production from the North Sea during 2011.This production alone, at $90 Brent and at annual rate at the low end of corporate guidance and running for only 300 days of the year due to unexpected outages and maintenance downtime, would still generate Nexen over $2 billion in after tax cash flow. Brent crude is currently at $100/bbl.A worst case scenario for North Sea production sees Nexen earning $3.80 per share in cash flow just from that area.
Nexen reports Q4 and 2010 earnings on February 17. We expect production volumes to have been down to 99K bpd in the North Sea from 106.3 in Q3 as a fourth platform at Buzzard, their largest field there, was tied in. Overall volumes should be down 5%. However, we expect Q4 CFPS of $ 1.05 and full year 2010 CFPS of $4.05 due to higher pricing.Nexen @ $23.99 is trading at 6 times 2010e CFPS versus 10.5 for Suncor @ $41.54 (NYSE:SU) and 12.9 for Imperial Oil @ $45.66 (NYSEMKT:IMO), albeit integrated producers always trade at higher multiples than pure E&P companies. Our 2011 estimate for Nexen is $5.50 - the stock is trading at 4.4 times versus 9.2 for Imperial Oil and 7.7 times for Suncor (annualized Q4 2010 basis).This assumes Nexen can renew its extension of the Masila block in Yemen. Obviously negotiations with the government have been delayed as the President Saleh there is trying to control his own problems of civil unrest. We expect the US to make sure Yemen does not fall into upheaval similar to that in Egypt, due to its strategic importance in the fight against Al Qaeda.For the time being we are trading Nexen, selling above $24.75 and buying on weakness below $24. Our medium term target is $33 CDN. We also believe Nexen is takeover material for a Chinese corporate or sovereign, or Royal Dutch Shell (RDS), their partner in Nigeria.
