I have not traveled outside the USA but to Canada which was a great trip! But have also enjoyed the wealth of Beautiful places such as the Grand Canyon that looking out over it and into it you find it very hard to leave! Its not to say i would not want to travel abroad, i most certainly would, but i need a new love in my life to experience it with. My ideal match would have the same extended values that are of the same...Kindness of Heart, Compassion,True sense of Humor, Love of Life to enjoy every moment, and most of all the ability to communicate her feelings no matter what they are without holding them in for another day as will I! Communication is the key to a relationship starting on the right foot and lasting forever!!

Re: Odds of approval? Chase Freedom/Un
ited Plus Mileage Explorer
Hey guys, thanks for the thoughtful replies! You both bring up some great points about the Freedom card, I am going to apply for it this weekend and let you know how it goes. Based on your advise, I went to Capital One's site today and discovered that I was prequalified for the VentureOne Rewards card. Should I apply for the Freedom card first, or does it not matter? Does it look bad if I apply for two cards in a short amount of time? Would you recommend any other Cap1 cards?
Thank you!

Zenyatta's Dam in Foal to 'Henry'
Vertigineux, the dam of champion Zenyatta, has been pronounced in foal to Henrythenavigator, a British classic winner who entered stud this year at Ashford Stud near Versailles, Ky.
Vertigineux, the dam of champion Zenyatta, has been pronounced in foal to Henrythenavigator, a British classic winner who entered stud this year at Ashford Stud near Versailles, Ky.
Jerry and Ann Moss were named 2008 Owners of the Year and their undefeated filly Zenyatta won Horse of the Year honors from the Thoroughbred Owners of California.
Zenyatta will likely return to the work tab in a couple of weeks, toward late February or early March, said trainer John Shirreffs Feb. 15. He could not speculate on when she would make her 2009 racing debut.
Hosted by Lenny Shulman and Steve Haskin, "And They're Off" is a bi-monthly online video series sponsored by Darby Dan Farm. This week, Lenny and Steve review the Eclipse Award winners. Plus, Everybody wants to buy a Derby Winner.
Eclipse Award attendees and the TVG viewers tuned in on the night of Jan. 26 were anticipating, and many were hoping, that Curlin would repeat as Horse of the Year.
If you enjoy the suspense that can come with the selction of Eclipse Award winners, just skip right past the category of older female, dominated by Zenyatta the same way she has ruled the racetrack, dispatching foes with unfailing consistency.
The anticipation for many owners, breeders, trainers, jockeys and their connections will soon be over as the Eclipse Awards for Thoroughbred racing champions of 2008 will be announced Jan. 26 at a ceremony in Miami, Fla.
The victory by Zenyatta in the Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic -- a win that culminated a perfect seven-for-seven 2008 campaign -- has been voted the 2008 National Thoroughbred Racing Association Moment of the Year.
Curlin, the all-time earner among North American Thoroughbreds, gained another accolade on Tuesday, Jan. 13 when he was officially named the joint best horse of 2008 in the World Thoroughbred Rankings.
TVG will again broadcast the Eclipse Awards live, the network announced Jan. 12. The awards ceremony, honoring racing's champions of 2008, will be held Jan. 26 in Miami Beach, Fla.
The finalists for 2008 Eclipse Awards were released Jan. 8, with the winners to be announced Jan. 26 at a ceremony in Miami, Fla. The finalists are not announced for Horse of the Year until the awards ceremony.
MAHUBAH'S CORNER, by Avalyn Hunter Daiwa Scarlet (JPN) staked out a place among racing's queens with a victory in the prestigious Arima Kinen (Jpn-I). Just the fourth female to win the race, her victims included just about every top Japanese male still in training, including 2007 Arima Kinen winner Matsurida Gogh (JPN); 2008 Japan Cup (Jpn-I) winner Screen Hero (JPN), and 2006 Japanese champion 3-year-old male Meisho Samson (JPN).
Exercise riders have a special trash talk all their own, usually along the lines of how the horse they are aboard can trounce anything on four legs in this century or last. That's why few people paid any attention in 2007 when Steve Willard, riding a huge unraced filly from John Shirreffs' barn, told a Hollywood Park outrider, "This is the second coming of Ruffian."
The 2008 Thoroughbred racing season produced a host of great memories, and HorseRacing TV's news magazine show "Inside Information," provides a comprehensive recap of the sport's most indellible storylines in the season's final episode.
Voting is underway on ntra.com for the 10th annual "NTRA Moment of the Year," it was announced Dec. 4. Voters can choose from among 12 images, drawn from the year's events.
Chilean-bred Cocoa Beach, runner-up to Zenyatta in the Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic (gr. I) last out, makes her return to the track to face a loaded field of nine fillies and mares in the $500,000 Matriarch (gr. IT) Nov. 30 on the Hollywood Park turf.
Patrons will receive a Zenyatta poster autographed by Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith when the unbeaten Horse of the Year candidate is honored at Hollywood Park Sunday, Nov. 30.
Unbeaten Zenyatta is getting a bit of a break at trainer John Shirreffs' barn before a 2009 campaign, but she may parade at Hollywood Park Nov. 30 as part of a special day in her honor.
Hosted by Lenny Shulman and Steve Haskin, "And They're Off" is a bi-monthly online video series sponsored by Darby Dan Farm. This week's topics include a recap of the Breeders' Cup, including an analysis of the European performances, and a discussion of Horse of the Year.
America once ruled the Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I). But "quoth the raven, 'Nevermore.' " With a synthetic surface introduced for the first time this year, leveling the playing field for the Europeans, Raven's Pass, like Edgar Allen Poe's mysterious bird, came tapping at our chamber door...then busted it down.
After having some time to reflect upon how the first Breeders' Cup Ladies' Day turned out, Peter Land, chief marketing officer of Breeders' Cup Ltd. said it was a success on most fronts, though it's still early to claim total victory.
Despite being 10 lengths back with a half mile to go, Zenyatta gobbled ground easily to win the Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic (gr. I). She is now undefeated in nine career starts. Cocoa Beach was second with Music Note in third.
For whatever Vertigineux lacked as a racehorse, she has more than made up for as a broodmare. The first three foals produced by the daughter of Kris S. have all become stakes winners, including Zenyatta.
Mike Smith and Zenyatta have been an unbeatable team so far, and they're the heavy favorites to add yet another victory to their sizzling streak in the $2 million Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic (gr. I) Oct. 24 at Santa Anita.
All horses racing in Friday's Breeders' Cup races had to be on the grounds at Santa Anita at noon today. Zenyatta, accompanied by stablemate Tiago, passed through the stable gate at 11:59. Judging from her 3-5 morning line odds and all the accolades she has received, that should be the only close call the magnificent filly will have this week.
Carriage Trail comes into the Oct. 24 Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic (gr. I) at Santa Anita off a dazzling performance in the Juddmonte Spinster Stakes (gr. I). The 5-year-old daughter of Giant's Causeway rolled to a 7 3/4 length victory in that race while setting a track record for 1 1/8 miles of 1:46.77 over Keeneland's Polytrack.
Zenyatta drew post one in the Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic (gr. I) and was made the 3-5 morning-line favorite.
Jerry and Ann Moss' Zenyatta likely will be the heavy favorite in the $2-million Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic (gr. I) Oct. 24 at Santa Anita Park. She is undefeated in her career, with an eight-race win steak heading into the World Championships.
In what promises to be a unique edition of the Breeders' Cup, a total of 210 pre-entries were announced Oct. 16, with 180 horses pre-entered for the 14 races, to be run at Santa Anita on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 24-25.
Zenyatta is a formidable presence in the $2-million Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic (gr. I) for more than one reason.

Talk about a hair-trigger decision. Following Curlin's victory in the Jockey Club Gold Cup (gr. I), majority owner Jess Jackson said over he phone that the colt likely would ship to Santa Anita "in about a week" to test out the Pro-Ride surface. The next morning, Curlin was on a plane to California.

Unbeaten Zenyatta will be looking for career win No. 8 when she takes the gate for the Lady's Secret Stakes (gr. I) Sept. 27 at Oak Tree at Santa Anita. The California-based runner will face four rivals, including grade I winner Hystericalady, in the 1 1/16-mile race.
Though this weekend will feature power-packed racing that should impact the upcoming Breeders' Cup World Championships, all eyes will be on Curlin as he looks to defend his title in the Jockey Club Gold Cup (gr. I) and break Cigar's North American earnings record.
The nay-sayers who thought Zenyatta might have been vulnerable after her comparatively plodding win in the Vanity (gr. I) last time out were left with little left to criticize when the statuesque filly blew by her rivals to capture the $300,000 Clement L. Hirsch (gr. II) under wraps at Del Mar Aug. 2. Zenyatta, the top-ranked older female in the nation, remains perfect in seven lifetime races.
Tough Tiz's Sis, who has given undefeated Zenyatta her two most difficult tests, is back to try once again for trainer Bob Baffert in the $300,000 Clement L. Hirsch Handicap (gr. II) over Del Mar's Polytrack racing surface Aug. 2.
Unbeaten Zenyatta's effort was a cut below her best on a hot day at Hollywood Park, but that was good enough to win the $300,000 Vanity Handicap (gr. I) July 5.
The strapping filly Zenyatta, unbeaten and barely challenged in five starts for trainer John Shirreffs, is the clear standout as the 124-pound topweight in the $300,000 Vanity Handicap (gr. I) at Hollywood Park July 5.
Undefeated Zenyatta overcame a bump at the start to record her fifth consecutive victory, winning the $183,300 Milady Breeders' Cup Handicap (gr. II) the way a 3-10 shot should May 31 at Hollywood Park.
Undefeated Zenyatta, a smashing winner of the Apple Blossom Handicap (gr. IT) in her last start, returns to her Hollywood Park base for the $175,000 Milady Handicap (gr. II), where she will face seven rivals on the Cushion Track May 31.

Nguyen Ha and Norell helped us end an amazing month in Vietnam. Between touring Halong Bay and Sapa we stayed in a very nice, clean room in Nguyen Ha's house to save some money between long bus rides. We were fed each morning and picked up right outside the building for our tours. Our final 5 days we spent in Nguyen Ha's spacious, well appointed and perfectly located apartment. Coming from San Francisco we really felt at home here. Right where you want to be. Right across from the cathedral and around the corner from the lake (which will be helpful landmarks when you inevitably get lost wandering Hanoi). Nguyen and Norell were incredibly responsive and helpful from booking us tours to making sure we had everything we needed to during our stay. Staying here will certainly make your stay in this great city that much more comfortable and memorable.
The apartment was as described, clean and tidy and was peaceful for central Hanoi as it was situated in a gated alleyway. Dong could not have been more helpful, she arranged airport transfers and kindly met us late at night. Her colleague helped my son settle in to Hanoi and find another longer let apartment. I would definitely recommend them.
super location within sounds of the cathedral, yet on a quiet siding.
Dong chatty welcoming knowledgeable host. Checkin smooth and allowed us to leave our bags early. Nice apartment, with all needed amenities.
The apt is in a wonderful location with lots of street food around. It is located near the tourist attraction, church. The apt is clean and equipped with all utensils for cooking. It's a great place for small family.
We had a very good time in Hanoi and staying at Nguyen Ha Dong place was a pleasure. She is very warm and help us from the beginning (taxi at the airport) and also during our stay (arrange a trip to Ha Long bay).
The apartment is really clean, modern, spacious and well located with café, street food shops around and really well located. We did all our visits by foot (from french quarter, to the west lake, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Ho Chi Minh Park....).
The only very small point that could be upgrade is to have blackout curtains but using sleeping mask is also a solution (day begins very early :-)
More seriously it was a very great experience. I do recommend it warmly.
We spent a wonderful Easter break in Dong's apartment in Hanoi's Old Quarter. The apartment has everything you need and is clean and spacious and is situated in a quiet laneway set back from the street and is in a perfect location to explore the sights and tastes of this very special part of Hanoi. Dong is also a terrific host and can organize anything you may need as part of your stay.
Thanks again Dong for a great stay.
Alan & Karin
Dong was very hospitable and met us when we arrived, explained the neighborhood, and continued to be responsive the whole trip. The apartment was very clean, had everything we needed and was in a perfect location. All around great experience!

A novel method and device for accurately aligning a substrate comprising a silicon wafer in the fabrication of a silicon vertical junction solar cell are described which comprise a base plate having a recess therein defining an opening for snugly receiving the wafer, the recess including a substantially straight portion for mating with a cleaved edge of known crystallographic orientation provided on the wafer, and a mask plate for covering the base plate and wafer, the mask including a pattern in predetermined configuration through which the wafer may be exposed in the fabrication process for the solar cell.
1. In a process for the fabrication of a vertical junction silicon solar cell, an improvement comprising the steps of:
a. providing a silicon wafer having substantially parallel surfaces along a first predetermined crystallographic plane of said silicon;
b. cleaving said wafer along a second predetermined crystallographic plane substantially perpendicular to said first plane to provide a straight edge on said wafer of known orientation;
c. providing a base plate having a recess therein defining an opening for snugly receiving said wafer, said recess including a substantially straight portion for abutment with said cleaved straight edge of said wafer, said recess having a depth slightly less than the thickness of said wafer;
d. positioning said wafer within said recess with said cleaved straight edge abutting said straight edge of said recess; and
e. providing a mask plate for covering said base plate and wafer, said mask plate including a pattern thereon in predetermined configuration and orientation through which said wafer may be exposed in said fabrication process for said solar cell.
The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States for all governmental purposes without the payment of any royalty.
This invention relates generally to the field of solar cells, and more particularly to a novel alignment device and method for accurately aligning silicon wafers in the fabrication of silicon vertical junction solar cells.
The basic structure and operation of solar cells is well known, and the utilization of silicon solar cells for the generation of electricity for remote marine, terrestrial, and satellite applications is well documented. The development of the vertical junction solar cell answered the need for a radiation resistant cell having improved electrical conversion efficiency for operation in an ionizing radiation environment to which the cell may be subjected in extra-terrestrial applications. The state of the art relating to vertical junction solar cells may be exemplified by solar cell configurations disclosed by or referenced in U.S. Pat. No. 3,690,953 titled "Vertical Junction Hardened Solar Cell", U.S. Pat. No. 3,985,579 titled "Rib and Channel Vertical Multijunction Solar Cell", U.S. Pat. No. 4,409,423 titled "Hole Matrix Vertical Junction Solar Cell", and U.S. Pat. No. 4,420,650 titled "Wedged Channel Vertical Junction Silicon Solar Cell".
Vertical junction solar cell structures known in the prior art may comprise a variety of configurations defining the vertical junctions of the solar cells. One such configuration includes a plurality of narrow grooves or channels etched into the surface of a semiconductor substrate, the channels providing the areas upon which the photovoltaic junction of the cell is diffused, the narrow ribs of the structure which define the channels providing the vertical junctions for the cell. Another configuration includes a silicon chip having in one surface a plurality of short, wedge shaped channels closely spaced in an array and separated by thin vertical ribs, the photovoltaic junction being diffused over the rib surfaces and chip surfaces between the ribs. Another cell configuration includes a silicon chip having in one surface a plurality of holes closely spaced in an array, the vertical junction areas being provided on the walls defining the holes.
Common to all the known vertical junction cell configurations with the exception of the hole matrix configuration is a fabrication constraint that the vertical junctions of the cell be accurately aligned relative to certain predetermined crystallographic planes of the semiconductor material comprising the solar cell. For example, in the fabrication of one channelled silicon vertical junction cell configuration, the cell is fabricated from a wafer having surfaces parallel to the (110) crystallographic planes and the channels aligned along (111) planes. It is therefore critical to the successful fabrication of such cells that the substrate be accurately aligned and held in the required predetermined position.
The present invention provides a novel device for aligning a mask over a silicon wafer, and method for fabricating a vertical junction solar cell wherein the mask is accurately aligned along a specified crystallographic orientation of the silicon.
It is therefore a principal object of the present invention to provide an improved device for aligning a silicon wafer for solar cell fabrication.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an improved method for aligning a silicon wafer in the fabrication of vertical junction silicon solar cells.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an improved silicon solar cell fabrication method.
These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent as the detailed description of certain representative embodiments thereof proceeds.
In accordance with the foregoing principles and objects of the present invention, a novel method and device for accurately aligning a substrate comprising a silicon wafer in the fabrication of a silicon vertical junction solar cell are described which comprise a base plate having a recess therein defining an opening for snugly receiving the wafer, the recess including a substantially straight portion for mating with a cleaved edge of known crystallographic orientation provided on the wafer, and a mask plate for covering the base plate and wafer, the mask including a pattern in predetermined configuration through which the wafer may be exposed in the fabrication process for the solar cell.
The present invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description of representative embodiments thereof read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing which presents an exploded view to scale of the mask and base/guide plate of the present invention.
Referring now to the accompanying drawing, shown therein is an exploded view of the mask aligner 10 of the present invention. A thin, substantially rigid base or guide plate 11 is used to directly support a silicon chip or wafer 13 used as a substrate in solar cell fabrication. In the unit built in demonstration of the invention herein, base plate 11 comprised a glass plate about three inches square, although other materials may comprise the plate and, therefore, size and material of construction for base plate 11 is not limiting of these teachings. Four pieces of silicon wafer 15, 16,17,18 were glued to base plate 11 in a predetermined arrangement as suggested in the drawing to provide a guide for automatic alignment of wafer 13. Pieces 15,16,17 were arranged to define a recess of configuration substantially as defined by dashed outline 21 and of size to snugly receive wafer 13. In the demonstration device to as depicted in the drawing, wafer 13 was about 2 inches in diameter and about 0.012 inch thick. Wafer pieces 15-18 and recess 21 were sized accordingly. Wafer piece 18 was provided with a flat edge 19 which comprises a reference alignment edge for precise alignment of wafer 13 within aligner 10 as hereinafter described.
For the demonstration device 10, silicon wafer alignment pieces 15-18 were selected to provide the positioning guide for silicon wafer 13 because of their availability and suitable thickness. Pieces 15-18 were selected to have thicknesses slightly (a few mils) less than wafer 13. This configuration provided a uniform thickness of the assembly including base plate 11, wafer 13 and mask plate 23, and provided good contact between mask 23 and wafer 13 thereby allowing uniform and sharply resolved exposure of wafer 13 according to the procedure hereinafter detailed. It is understood that the base plate 11 and wafer pieces 15-18 assembly may comprise other materials of construction and may be configured alternatively, such as a single plate unit with a recess of appropriate depth and diameter machined into the surface thereof, within the scope of these teachings.
Mask plate 23 comprised a glass plate and included the mask pattern 25 corresponding to the desired predetermined lined pattern 26 for providing the channels comprising the vertical junctions to be provided in the surface of wafer 13. A plurality of clamps 27 (viz., one at each of the four edges of the mask plate 23-base plate 11 assembly) was used to hold the aligner device 10 in the assembled condition during processing of a wafer 13. Only one such clamp 27 is shown for simplicity of illustration.
The fabrication process for one vertical junction silicon solar cell type utilizing mask aligner 10 may be summarized as follows:
1. provide a wafer 13 of P-type silicon having the (110) crystallographic planes parallel to the surfaces of the wafer;
2. form an oxidized coating on the surfaces of the wafer;
3. coat a surface of the wafer with photoresist;
4. cover the coated surface with a mask 23 defining the desired channel pattern and align the lines 26 of channel pattern 25 parallel to the (111) crystallographic planes and expose;
5. remove the oxide in the channel pattern;
6. remove remaining photoresist;
7. etch the channels to the desired depth using an orientation dependent etchant such as potassium hydroxide solution (nominally 30%);
8. selectively remove the remaining oxide coating from the etched wafer surfaces;
9. form an N-type junction in the entire etched surface area by diffusing a Group V dopant material, such as phosphorous, arsenic, or the like, into the surface of the wafer to the desired depth and clean the wafer surfaces of oxides;
10. apply metallic electrical contacts in the desired configuration on the top and bottom surfaces of the wafer; and
11. apply an antireflective coating of such as an oxide of silicon or tantalum or multilayer coatings of other suitable materials conventionally used therefor.
12. remove the solar cell area from the wafer;
In the fabrication of a solar cell utilizing the mask aligner 10 of the present invention a flat edge 14 of wafer 13 was cleaved, machine, or otherwise accurately cut to provide a reference along a known crystallographic orientation. In the demonstration unit illustrated in the drawing, wafer 13 had a cleave edge 14 perpendicular to the (111) orientation of the silicon wafer 13 so that lines 26 of pattern 25 were aligned precisely along a (111) orientation. Wafer 13 was then placed within the recess 21 defined by wafer pieces 15-18 with edge 14 aligned with edge 19 of piece 18. Mask plate 23 was placed over base plate 11 and wafer 13 and clamped in secure contact with the wafer 13 using clamps 27. The photoresist coating was then exposed through mask plate 23 according to the fabrication procedure for the solar cell comprising wafer 13 presented above. The pattern 25 of mask 23 may be of any desirable design consistent with the predetermined vertical junction configuration for the cell.
The present invention, as hereinabove described, therefore provides a novel mask aligner and method for rapid and accurate alignment of a silicon wafer in the fabrication of a vertical junction solar cell or the like. It is understood that certain modifications to the invention as described may be made as might occur to one with skill in the field of the invention, within the scope of the appended claims. Therefore, all embodiments contemplated hereunder which achieve the objects of the present invention have not been shown in complete detail. Other embodiments may be developed without departing from the spirit of the invention or from the scope of the appended claims.

World's Oldest Brain?
Friday, July 18, 2014
STOKKE, NORWAY—Excavators on the site of a planned large conference center southwest of Oslo have uncovered the skull of a child aged between infancy and ten that they believe may be as much as 8,000 years old and may contain the oldest remains of a human brain, the Daily Mail Online reports. It is extremely rare to find organic material, such as human tissue, preserved for so many millennia. Archaeologists have thus far only removed the skull and surrounding soil, and examined only the parts of the skull that are exposed, so as not to damage it. The site appears to be a burial, as the bones of an adult, probably a man, were also found at the site, and will provide new information about the Mesolithic period in Norway, about which relatively little is known.

Since I have noticed myself developing a serious man crush on Marquette over the past couple weeks, I thought I would take a closer look at their advanced metrics to either validate my feelings or tell me I should stop sitting outside of Buzz Williams' house at night.
On the offensive end, the Golden Eagles are scoring 1.16 points per possession and rank ninth in Pomeroy's adjusted offensive efficiency rankings. They're making 55.3 percent of their two-pointers and 36.6 percent from beyond the arc, which adds up to an impressive 55.2 eFG%. To add a bit of context, their two-point percentage hasn't finished over 51.0 percent since 2003.
Aside from Darius Johnson-Odom's lethal step-back jumper, how can such an increase be explained? For starters, Marquette has continued to be aggressive in attacking the rim, a trend that began last season and continues to pay dividends this year. After taking at least one-third of their shots from three-point range for seven straight seasons, the Golden Eagles dropped that number to 26.1 percent last season and currently stand at 28.8 percent this year.
Not surprisingly, their relentlessness has been rewarded with frequent trips to the free throw line. This season's 46.9 FT Rate is slightly up from last year's 44.3 mark, which was good for 37th in the nation.
The Golden Eagles have also continued their trend of low turnover rates, with their current 17.2 mark ranking 33rd nationally. Last year's 18.2 TO% was actually the worst of the Buzz Williams era, which speaks to the quality of their guard play during that span.
Defensively, they have held six of their eight opponents to 0.88 points per possession or less and currently rank 15th on KenPom. Outside of their struggles on the defensive glass, they rank in the Top 30 in the eFG%, TO%, and FT Rate.
While they have typically help opponents to a low FT Rate under Buzz Williams, the improvements in eFG% and TO% have been substantial. In fact, their eFG% has ranked outside the Top 200 in Williams' first three seasons at the helm. The three-point defense has shown improvement, but the two-point defense has dropped from 50.0 percent just a couple seasons ago all the way to 40.8 percent this season. What's even more interesting is that it hasn't been accompanied by a significant change in block percentage. Consequently, it's not unreasonable to expect some normalization here, but don't count on a complete relapse to their average from the last three years either.
I say that because this drop in shooting has coincided with a strong increase in turnover rate, which sits at 25.4 percent for the year. The Golden Eagles have really ratcheted up their on-ball pressure, and thanks to improved depth, they are able to sustain that pressure for virtually the entire game. In the win over
The only chink in the armor appears to be on the glass, as their OReb% has fluctuated over the season, going as high as 45.6 percent against Mississippi and as low as 23.5 percent in their first matchup with Norfolk State. What's more concerning is that they have consistently struggled on the defensive glass with four of their opponents posting an OReb% of 40 or more.
Part of that has to do with a general lack of size on the roster with just two players over 6-foot-7 playing major minutes. In fact, a pair of 6-foot-6 players, Jae Crowder and Jamail Jones, have the two highest DReb% on the team at 19.4 and 17.9, respectively. They could certainly stand to get more rebounding from Chris Otule and Davante Gardner inside, but rebounding will likely have to be a team effort for
In addition to the many reasons to like the team as a whole, some of the individual performances have been equally impressive. That all starts with seniors Johnson-Odom and Crowder. Both guys are as tough as they come but have the game to back it up.
DJO is shooting 62.2 percent on twos and 42.4 percent on threes, draws seven fouls per 40 minutes, rarely turns the ball over, and is an adept passer. He can play well on or off the ball and isn't afraid to get into guys defensively. He is a legit Big East POY candidate to be certain, and this team will ultimately go as far as he and Crowder lead them.
Crowder is another do-it-all player, and his 132.7 ORtg is among the best in the country. Like DJO, he can shoot it from two-point range (68.2%) as well as from deep (42.4%) while rarely giving the ball away. His DReb% of 19.4 has improved from last season, and he gives the team another solid defender.
In addition to their sustained aggressiveness on both ends of the floor, the thing I have been most impressed with is the depth on this team. Even though Crowder was saddled with foul trouble against
You can look down the roster and point out key contributions from virtually every player:
- Vander Blue has bounced back from a disappointing freshman season with a 42.1 FT Rate, 25.2 assist rate, and 4.4 steal percentage.
- Junior Cadougan is in the Top 25 in assist rate at 38.4 percent and boasts a 59.5 FT Rate.
- Todd Mayo (O.J.'s brother) has apparently inherited the "care about defense" gene in that family and came up big with 14 points against
. Wisconsin
- Davante Gardner still can't play extended minutes, but his 125.8 ORtg is third on the team. He's superb on the offensive glass, draws 6.6 fouls per 40 minutes, and is hitting 64.0 percent from two-point range and 82.6 percent from the stripe.
- Chris Otule has also been an effective offensive rebounder and boasts a 10.1 block percentage.
- Jamail Jones has the team's second-best DReb% and a 3.5 steal percentage.
- Jamil Wilson hit a big three-pointer against
Wisconsinand played well in relief of Otule against . He also has the second-best block percentage on the team. Washington
- Derrick Wilson had some flashes of outstanding on-ball defense against Jordan Taylor, playing a season-high 20 minutes with Cadougan suspended.
- Juan Anderson grabbed five boards in just seven minutes against the Badgers.
The players above have allowed Williams to utilize a liberal substitution pattern with no fear of a significant dropoff, and so far the results speak for themselves.
Rob Dauster of Ballinisahabit wrote about the Golden Eagles after their last-second win over Washington, and the gist of the post was that while people continue to tout Marquette's toughness, the talent level of the team has almost become an afterthought. On some level that's really doing this team a disservice, but it also speaks to the identity the team has established over the past few seasons. Ultimately the difference is that the depth of talent has caught up to the grind-it-out mentality, which has manifested itself into a team that is the constant aggressor on both ends of the floor. Whether that can also manifest itself into a Big East Championship remains to be seen, but for now, Marquette has the look of a Top 10 team and one not-so-secret admirer.

The much-anticipated release on DVD does not disappoint, with a pristine restored print and upgraded 5.1 Dolby sound. Of course, the Cinerama film can only be fully appreciated if you sit very close to your screen. The absence of a commentary track is forgivable, since director John Frankenheimer died in 2002. "Pushing the Limit" is your standard 30-minute retrospective with many new interviews with the stars and drivers. The universal opinion is that the film caught Formula One at the exact right time when the beauty of the sport was about to be changed in favor of safety and commercialism. There are some fascinating stories on how they were able to use real race footage so seamlessly. "Flat Out" continues the vibe of what racing was like in the '60s with more interviews from the real racers. "The Style and Sound of Speed" talks about designer Saul Bass and how he created the film's different approaches to each race and the cutting-edge use of montages and multiple screens. The vintage doc is kitschy but allows us to see the filming in action (the footage is used extensively in the new featurettes). --Doug Thomas

In this photo gallery, you'll find historically significant scenes of early timber harvesting on the Red River, near Shreveport, La.
Each year that Rick Clunn qualifies for the Bassmaster Classic, he is making history. He has appeared in more Classics than any angler and along the way he has scored four wins, another Classic record. In those four wins are the only back-to-back wins, his 1976 and 1977 victories. Clunn's Classic record is the stuff legends are made of, and each year offers him a host of chances at more records.
In this photo gallery, you'll find images of the anglers as they prepare to launch on Day One of the 2009 Bassmaster Classic on the Red River, near Shreveport, Louisiana.
In this photo gallery, you'll find images of the anglers as they prepare to launch on Day One of the 2009 Bassmaster Classic on the Red River, near Shreveport, Louisiana.
The 2009 Bassmaster Classic starts tomorrow. Someone will be a legend by Sunday afternoon and someone else might be a goat, depending on how things go.
Tomorrow's the first day of competition. I'm ready to get started. I'm doing Mike & Mike in the Morning and then it'll be time go fishing. I'm ready to get this thing underway.
In February, Rick Clunn will be on the Red River fishing in his 32nd Bassmaster Classic.
I've been busy the last couple of weeks. It's boat show season so I've been flying around the country making appearances and giving seminars. In between shows I've been trying to get my tackle organized for the Classic and this year's Elite Series.
After more than a week of early practice in December, three official practice days last week, and a final tune-up on the water Wednesday, you'd think this year's Bassmaster Classic qualifiers would have learned every secret the Red River holds.

"Thought-provoking, and often mordantly ironic."--The New Yorker
"Beatty's achievement isn't so much in discovering new material about World War I as it is in taking apart what is known about 1914 and assembling it in a different form. We see, of course, what might have been--but more important, we see, in a different light, what was. It was a calamity."--David Shribman, The Boston Globe
"Beatty seeks to navigate the historiography of the first great conflict of the twentieth century away from the 'metaphysical no-man's land of historical inevitability' and back into the 'trenches of empiricism.'"--The New Statesman
"Beatty... captures the sweep of the events that gripped the world and illuminates the epic arrogance, the paranoia, the pettiness and the myopic self-serving views of the European heads of state who had laid the cornerstone of a conflict that would lead to the deaths of millions from Moscow to Maine."--Paul Collins, Nashua Telegraph
"Beatty has a great eye for the vivid details that reveal character...'Downton Abbey' notwithstanding, the prewar era really does seem like a lost time. Beatty manages to shed some light on that receding era."--Michael Hill, The Associated Press"THE LOST HISTORY OF 1914 brings alive much of the official world of a century ago."--Bruce Ramsey, Seattle Times
"Bold stuff...[An] exuberant and bulging rag-bag of counter-factual history that challenges the 'cult of inevitability' that Europe's war-leaders were retrospectively so eager to embrace."--David Crane, The Spectator
"[A] startling study of what Woodrow Wilson called 'an injury to civilization.'"--Eve Ottenberg, In These Times"Spritely, captivating…[Beatty's book] delivers his signature storyteller's insights. Hardly any writer working today can amass such an enormous array of information and shape it all so effortlessly into paragraph after compelling paragraph. The centennial of World War I is bound to produce a tsunami of verbiage – and, if we're lucky, some genuinely first-rate stuff. THE LOST HISTORY OF 1914…steals a march on all of them. Highly recommended."--Steve Donoghue, Open Letters Monthly"THE LOST HISTORY OF 1914 will leave its mark on how we think about World War I and perhaps, beyond that, on how we think about history and history in the making."--Harvey Blume, The Arts Fuse

Smooth Creations "Battlefield" Phenom II X6 1090T Custom Gaming PC - General Hands-On Usage and PerformanceIt's been a while since we reviewed an AMD-based system. Today, we'll take a custom-built Phenom II X6 1090T equipped "Battlefield 2" special edition from Smooth Creations for a spin.
General Hands-On Usage
Here's a CPU-Z screenshot showing some detailed specs of what's running under the F131's hood:
And here's a GPU-Z screenshot showing the status for the graphics card.
As you can see in the CPU-Z screenshot, the Phenom II X6 1090T is overclocked up to 4GHz from the standard 3.2GHz clock speed. We didn't experience any problems related to the overclocked processor. Having a Corsair liquid cooler on the CPU really helps with thermal stability, which in turn provides solid overclocked performance.
As we saw with the Maingear F131, a properly overclocked and stable CPU adds significant value to a system since you're getting a performance boost without having to buy a more expensive CPU. This is definitely something we expect from boutique builders, and Smooth Creations certainly gets it right with this system.
Along with the oc'd processor, the incorporation of a solid-state hard drive (SSD) delivers super-fast OS performance, including any programs installed on the SSD. Our review model has the best of both worlds in terms of storage-the speed of the SSD and the large capacity of the 2TB spinner.
The system proved pleasurable in terms of everyday computing tasks. Programs opened and closed quickly, and we didn't experience any crashes or hangs during the review process.
From a usability standpoint, we really liked having USB ports and the headphone jack on the top side of the chassis. With the system sitting on the floor, this configuration made it quite easy to use a thumb drive or plug in a pair of 'phones for some late-night gaming.
Boot Time
The system took 48 seconds to boot, a time on par with the other SSD-equipped systems we've seen.
Power Consumption
This machine idled at 174 watts and jumped up to 433 watts under load.
Audio Performance
We ran this custom rig through the standard media encoding test regime here at TweakTown, which includes music and video transcoding.
All systems are tested "as is", which means operating systems and drivers can and do vary and some come pre-installed with applications that may or may not affect performance.
Any anti-virus or security applications are disabled and uninstalled before any testing is started, as they can affect test numbers.
For the iTunes encoding test we took the White Stripes - Under Great White Northern Lights album in MP3 format and encode it to AAC format using iTunes and time the results with a stopwatch.
The computer performed this task in 67 seconds.
Video Performance
For the movie-encoding test, we took the Microsoft Magic of Flight VC-1 WMV (1080p HD) video with six-channel audio and transcode it to XviD (1080p HD) with LAME MP3 two-channel audio and an MP4 container using MediaCoder 0.7.3.4616 32-bit edition.
The machine took a mere 71 seconds to complete this, which is remarkably fast. The video itself is 122 seconds long, so we're getting better-than-real-time transcoding speed on this task.
This system didn't come with a Blu-ray drive, but we did watch some excellent DVD footage of The Secret to a Happy Ending - A Documentary About the Drive-By Truckers using the included Nero 8 software.

|At Nix Farms the focus is on cattle that are structurally sound, stylish, big ribbed and functional. We focus on American-Cross show steers; however, we market most Exotic cross-bred breeds as well. Our herd consists of over 400 head of brood cows. While we currently AI over 200 head a year, our last four Breed and Reserve-Breed Champions at San Antonio and Houston have been sired by Nix Farms herd bulls. We market 30-40 show steers a year that are bred to compete primarily in slick-shear shows. Nix Farms is a family run operation that was established in 1973.

The Challenger's Report
10 Feb 2012 – 14 Apr 2012
Event times
Wednesday - Sunday 12-6pm
- 155 Vauxhall Street
- The Oval
- London
- United Kingdom
- www.gasworks.org.uk
Travel Information
- Vauxhall/Oval
AboutThe Challenger's Report is the first UK solo exhibition by Argentinian artist Irene Kopelman, which looks at how relationships to landscape and the natural world are culturally conditioned and subject to change. Kopelman's work is rooted in drawing in situ and guided by laboured processes of copying and re-production which reveal a fascination with landscape and the act of looking. Borrowing patterns from nature or techniques of observation and classification from the history of science, her drawing, painting and sculpture is characterised by imperfections that foreground the conditions (cramped, dusty, rainy, etc.) of its making. Inspired by the expeditions of renowned explorers such as Ernest Shackleton, her work is founded upon empirical research carried out in the field or in naturalist archives and collections. The Challenger's Report centres on how acts of looking are mediated by culture, invention or circumstance. The title refers to the Challenger expedition of 1872-76, the discoveries of which laid the foundations of modern oceanography. The exhibition includes a newly commissioned series of large-scale paintings of microfossils brought back from the Antarctic plate following Robert Scott's ill-fated Terra Nova expedition of 1910, and now held at the Natural History Museum in London. These are presented alongside: La morfologia del paisaje determina sus vistas (The Morphology of the Landscape Determines its Views, 2011), an installation composed of drawings and a fired clay bas relief of canyons in Southern Brazil; and a hand-made replica of a graphic telescope, an early 19th century optical instrument. Kopelman has worked with outdated curiosities such as this for a number of years, keen to rediscover how they gave rise to particular conventions of seeing and ways of interpreting the natural world. The exhibition is accompanied by a series of events and workshops taking place at Gasworks and at the Natural History Museum, London.
