1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing semiconductor devices, and more particularly to an apparatus for transferring a wafer, in which the wafer can be easily engaged against a wafer chuck by means of a holder safely catching rounded edges of the wafer without the help of a tripod.
2. Description of the Prior Art
While it is well known that manufacturing processes for semiconductor devices are conducted under vacuum conditions, the recent trend is to use the cluster tools as shown in FIG. 9 in an efficient manner.
An often used process includes, in general, a process reactor, a wafer carrying apparatus and vacuum system, as shown in FIG. 10. Referring to FIG. 10, tripod 4, tripod driver 7 and bellows 6 are installed under wafer chuck 3, tripod driver 7 and bellows 6 being for actuating tripod 4. Vacuum exhaust port 11 and vacuum pump 12 are installed on the side of a body, and O-shaped ring 5 is provided to seal up an opening between wafer chuck 3 and tripod 4. On the other side of the body, a gate valve 9 is installed and the wafer 1 is carried by holder 2. Reference numbers 8 and 10 in FIG. 10 denote a chamber wall and a gas shower, respectively.
In the operation of the wafer transfer apparatus using the conventional module, a wafer 1 held by a holder 2 in an orientation corresponding to a process position, is put into a preselected process reactor just after, as shown in FIG. 11, an alignment adjuster fits the wafer 1 in the orientation which corresponds to the processing position. Either a flat-type holder 2 of FIG. 11A or a U-shaped holder 2 may be used. Reference number 13 denotes a wafer contact tip. Therefore, to receive wafer 1 in the process reactor, a transfer sequence is required such that, after a tripod 4 moves up to lift wafer 1 as shown in FIG. 12b in the center space of the process reactor, (wafer 1 being held by holder 2 as shown in FIG. 12a), holder 2 moves back as shown in FIG. 12c and then wafer 1 is mounted on wafer chuck 3 as a result of the tripod's descent or retraction as shown in FIG. 12d.
However, the conventional module requires additional components for actuating tripod 4 in up-and-down motion, such as a driver 7 and a bellows 6, which are attached to the bottom of the process reactor. Further disadvantages of the conventional module include a negative influence on the vacuum exhaust current speed and the process uniformity because vacuum exhaust port 11 is installed on the side of the reactor body. In addition, the leakage near the O-shaped ring 5 used for a seal material between the reactor and tripod 4 also reduces the process reliability.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an improved apparatus for transferring a wafer which ensures uniformity of the vacuum exhaust current and process conditions, and enhances process reliability.
In order to achieve these objects, the apparatus in accordance with the present invention includes holding means capable of holding rounded edges of the wafer, wafer transfer means including means for actuating said holding means and means for detecting a malfunction of said holding means, and a process reactor having a vacuum exhaust port installed under a wafer cassette so as to guide process gas flow in an axially-symmetric flow pattern. The holding means holds the rounded edges of a wafer. Removal of additional tools makes the structure of the overall system simpler, and the position of the exhaust port under the reactor so as to guide processing gas in an axially-symmetric flow pattern results in enhancement of the process uniformity.

Preferred aspects of the present invention are discussed in turn, accompanying the appended drawings.
FIGS. 1a and 1b show detailed side and top views of the wafer holder in accordance with the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 1a-1b, the present wafer holder includes holding means for holding rounded edges of wafer 300, an actuating means for operating the holding means and a detecting means for detecting mal-functions during operation of the holding means.
The actuating means includes a holder driver 130, a holder driving mover 132 which can operate in a rectilinear motion by load 131 of holder driver 130, a compression spring 140 inserted into load 131 and a tension spring 150 connected to both sides of an operating lever 113 of a forefinger 110. A tension spring 150 is fixed in both ends of support 100 by spring fixing pins 151. A folded top plate 180 is employed to prevent particle generation from the apparatus. A slot 170 can be used to connect the apparatus with the robot shown in FIG. 9. The holder driving mover 132 of the actuating means is installed for the purpose of pushing operating hook 112 attached to the inner side of forefinger 110, so that forefinger 110 can rotate around roller bearing 111. Holder driver 130 of the actuating means preferably consists of a solenoid.
The holding means includes a forefinger 110 which can be opened or pursed by the actuating means, and wafer contact tips 120 disposed at both ends of forefinger 110 and at a center tip support pad 102. On the underside of contact tips 120, as shown in FIG. 3, rounded recesses 121 are formed to tightly hold the sides of wafer 300.
In another embodiment, the wafer contact tips 120 are installed at the central tip support pad 102, such as of the rectangular-type. This embodiment has the advantage of an automatic alignment of wafer 300 having a straight flat surface 301 on its side, the alignment being accomplished simultaneously with the wafer holding operation. In still another embodiment two wafer contact tips 120 on the central tip support pad 102 are available. In yet another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, holder jaw 122 is formed at the lower or bottom edge portion of wafer contact tip 120 in order to engage or hold an outer underside portion of wafer 300.
The mechanism for holding the wafer 300 is perhaps best seen in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b). The contact tip 120 with rounded recesses 121 horizontally approaches the rounded edges of the wafer 300 which, as shown, is located slightly below the tip 120. As shown in FIG. 3(b), when the lower part of the wafer 300 is engaged by tip 200, the wafer is slightly lifted upward. Ultimately, the central plane of all of the rounded recesses 121 coincide with the central plane of the rounded edge of the wafer and this occurs concurrently at all three contact tips 120. FIG. 1 shows the apparatus.
The forefinger 110 can be designed to be closed or pursed to an opening having a width less than that of the inside of the cassette in which wafers 300 are stacked. Furthermore, the thickness of the wafer contact tip 120 formed on both ends of forefinger 110 and central tip support pad 102 should be less than the pitch between wafers 300 stacked in a cassette so that each wafer 300 stored in the cassette can be exchanged therein without difficulty.
On the support 100 wafer loading stopper 103 and release stopper 104 are formed so as to limit movement of forefingers 110 to prevent excessive opening or pursing (closing). Photodetector 160 is a detecting component of the present apparatus and is mounted on one side of support 100 in order to detect the presence of the light which, in turn, is determined by the positions of operating lever 113 of forefingers 110. In operation of forefingers 110 of the holding component, it is possible to detect the presence of the light even though one forefinger 110 is committed to hold the wafer while the other forefinger 110 is fixed.
In any case, it is noted, as shown in FIG. 5, that the structure of the process module in accordance with the present invention is simplified because the tripod 4 and tripod driving elements used in the conventional art are not necessary any more. Therefore, as will be understood, vacuum exhaust port 220 and vacuum pump 221 can be installed under wafer chuck 210 instead of the elements such as the tripod 4 and tripod driving elements which results in an increase of the process uniformity due to an axially-symmetric fluctuation of reaction gas applied from gas shower 230. Reference numbers 240 and 250 denote a gate valve and a chamber wall, respectively.
With the above construction of the wafer transferring apparatus of the present invention, the operation and its further advantages are apparent from the following descriptions. There are several steps for a transfer sequence in the apparatus in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 6 which shows the sequence of three steps for the transfer of wafer 300 to wafer chuck 210 in that this can be achieved, there is no need of the tripod 4 in carrying wafer 300 in and out of the wafer chuck 210 in that this can be achieved by means of maintaining a small gap between wafer 300 and the surface of the wafer chuck 210. This gap is provided when forefingers 110 suspending the round edges of wafer 300 reach the center position of the reactor. This small gap can be adjusted by using the central robot shown in FIG. 9.
To fetch wafer 300 from a cassette during wafer transfer, forefingers 110 must be admitted into the inside of a cassette which is storing wafers. For the sake of that, as shown in FIG. 7, forefingers 110 are designed to have the thickness "h" which is less than the pitch between wafers stacked in the cassette and to have a maximum opening width "w" which is less than the width of the inside of the cassette. While wafer 300 is being transferred from the cassette, the upper or top surface of wafer contact tips 120 contact the underside of wafer 300, as shown in FIG. 7. Additionally, a rotation angle of wafer 300 is adjusted by an alignment adjuster, so that the straight flat surface 301 of wafer 300 can fit into the frame of wafer chuck 210.
Next, in order to load wafer 300 on wafer chuck 210 without use of additional tools, forefingers 110 of FIG. 8 are moved near the wafer which is still standing on the alignment adjuster and then rounded recesses 121 adjacent to the three tips 120 grasp the round edge portions of wafer 300 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5.
It can be assumed that, as in other embodiments according to present invention, if wafer tip 120 on the central tip support pad 102 is rectangular or there are two wafer contact tips 120, wafer 300 may be grasped by using the compatible alignment angle.
When the holder driving mover 132 becomes more distant from operating hook 112 of forefingers 110, the forefingers 110 are pursed while rotating around roller bearing 111 by means of tension spring 150. On the contrary, forefingers 110 become open when holder driving mover 132 pushes the operating hook 112. At that time, in the case that there is no wafer to hold or wafer 300 cannot be grasped due to a staggered distortion of the forefinger 110, this will be detected as a fault or malfunction by photodetector 160 provided on support 100. More specifically, when the two forefingers 110 fail to hold the wafer 300, the operating level 113 will not block the light from a photo diode or other light source (not shown), disposed, e.g., adjacent to photo detector 160 and accordingly, the photo detector 160 will not receive light reflected from the operating level 113.
Wafer 300, which is suspended on the three recesses is then transferred to the center region over wafer chuck 210 in the process module by a robot as shown in FIG. 6. The holder driving mover's rotation to the left by virtue of holder driver 130 makes forefingers 110 open whereby wafer 300 is located at the center space of the reactor, being released from wafer contact tips 120. The steps for returning wafer 300 treated in the process reactor to the cassette for storage are the reverse of those (as described above) for loading wafer 300 on wafer chuck 210.
On the other hand, various modifications of wafer contact tips 120 may be used in the present invention. One modification involves holding the round edges of the wafer 300 by means of frictional force instead of using rounded recesses 121 shown in FIG. 3. This modification may be adaptable to the case where there is no problem in the process uniformity even though the size of wafer chuck 210 is smaller than that of wafer 300, which case is well illustrated in FIG. 4b. Referring to FIG. 4b, holder jaw 122 formed on wafer contact tips 120 can hold the outer underside of wafer 300 and the wafer 300 can be laid on, or lifted from, the wafer chuck 210 without the assistance of tools such as the tripod 4 et al. It may be possible for forefingers 110 to be made of two fingers, one of which is fixed and the other of which is movable. Furthermore, wafer contact tips 120 may be changed to the rectangular-type from the rounded configuration so that the wafer 300 can be grasped by the forefingers 110 having the rectangular-type tips simultaneously with the straight flat surface 300 being aligned in an acceptable position for manufacture, as shown in FIG. 5.
In conclusion, the present wafer transfer apparatus capable of holding the side of a wafer 300 allows the manufacturing process for semiconductor devices to be conducted without additional tools such as a tripod 4. Removal of the tripod 4 simplifies the overall structure of the present apparatus and there is no potential for leakage of reacting gas from the sealed portion with O-shaped ring 5 interposed between the process reactor and the tripod 4, as can occur in the conventional art. Thus, the uniformity during a manufacturing process would be secured thereby. The vacuum pump under the reactor enhances not only the process uniformity by producing an axially-symmetric flow of processing gas, but also enhances the exhaust speed of used gas. It should also be noted that the apparatus in accordance with the present invention may be useful in a wafer holding mechanism, assuming that an inhalation force cannot be used in a vacuum system. With a view to integrating the manufacturing apparatus for semiconductor products, since several process reactors (four to six) can share one wafer transfer apparatus, the present invention may be good for an application with the integrated system.

The Red Wings season would have started this Friday, but as you all know, we've been locked out and there's nothing we can do about it. Or is there? Last year the NBA simulated its season up to the end of their lockout. They kept track of standings and stats and I believe they wrote a little bit about each game. Well, I'm stealing their idea. They owe us for Bettman. I'll be simulating every Red Wings game that has been canceled on EA Sports NHL 13 and writing about the outcome as if it actually happened. I plan on putting in quotes from the digital coaching staff based on what I believe their personalities are like. The series will be called 'Lockout Therapy.' Hey, it's something... The rosters are all set. The digital players are ready to digitally dominate. Digital Ericsson is ready to digitally screw up. Digital Datsyuk will digitally dangle downloaded defenders daily. I know, I know, it's not the same. It's like having a caffeine headache and finding a flat bottle of Diet Mountain Dew in the fridge. It's not what we wanted, but it'll have to do for now. See you Friday! LGdRW!

I know that there are some Dr. Who and Torchwood fans on Mice Chat so when looking through the TV threads I didn't see any mention of Torchwoods 5 part mini series for this season.
It was a very disturbing show that had lots going on and not all of it was a good thing. The show itself, as always, was great, but the storyline was very disturbing. The effects were well done as well. I personally think this story, spread out over 5 nights, is probably the best story ever shown on TV. It had everything that makes a good story. Suspense, intrigue, tragedy in spades, humor to a degree and an ending that has left us all wondering how Torchwood can return after what happens. I did buy the DVD after seeing it as when I do watch it again I want to see it without all the commercial interruptions and ads at the bottom of the screen. They are so annoying and distruptive.
Just curious is anyone else around here watched it and what are your thoughts.
It has also been stated that Capt Jack will make an appearance on the final two episodes of Dr. Who in November. That will also mark the end of David Tennants turn as The Doctor.

Did new Chicago Cubs manager Mike Quade swing and miss at his first public opportunity to show he's in control of his team?
The Cubs, just four games into spring training, made some news early this week when pitcher Carlos Silva and third baseman Aramis Ramirez had a heated exchange in the dugout after a bad inning that included three Cubs errors and two homers that Silva allowed. Ramirez had made one of the errors to contribute to a total of 14 the Cubs had made in their first four games.
Much ado about nothing? Competitive athletes venting frustration?
But Quade disappointed many fans by not chastising his players for their outburst, his most notable quote being, "Sometimes a little revolt is not bad."
Maybe the incident was a big deal, maybe not, but for a guy trying to put his stamp on a team it sure looks like he missed an opportunity. The Cubs badly need to change an image that not only includes last year's losing record, but bad behavior by athletes that has been tolerated too long before anything is done about it.
Flash back to Milton Bradley two years ago and Carlos Zambrano most dramatically last year after numerous incidents before that.
Former manager Lou Piniella, expected to be the fiery guy who once tackled his relief pitcher Rob Dibble to start a clubhouse scuffle when he managed at Cincinnati , often appeared to sleepwalk through much of his tenure with the Cubs. He rarely handed out discipline or talked to his players and mumbled his way through postgame interviews, offering little insight to what had happened on the field.
Quade was supposed to be different. A baseball lifer who remained a regular guy. He actually talked to his players and the media and seemed to say intelligent things when he did.
Lets hope the rare air of a Major League managing job hasn't changed him already.
But everyone gets three strikes in baseball and Quade has a couple left.

Two media storms broke overnight that Alaskans need to watch. One is Sen. Ted Stevens' corruption trial, with opening arguments today. The other is a video that shows VP candidate Sarah Palin being blessed against witchcraft in a Wasilla church and reactions to that in light of her quest for national office.
Both stories will have links below to follow, but Alaska has other news as well, including more than $30 million in oil company bids to search in the National Petroleum Preserve, a survey on what it means to be gay in Alaska, new sealife species discovered in Aleutian waters and violations by nine cruise ships of their wastewater discharge permits this summer.
So there's a lot of news today. Let's begin.
How Sen. Ted Stevens could beat the charges against him. CNN.com talks to legal experts on strategies that could work. Michael Levy, a former federal prosecutor, says the burden facing the Justice Department is how it will "prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he knew the actual value of these renovations when he had asked, received and paid bills for them?" The defense can portray him as too busy or absent-minded for that level of detail.
The experts debate whether Stevens is hurt or helped by testifying, which he says he is willing to do if his lawyer wants it. And then, there's the issue of former Veco head Bill Allen's credibility.
"Bill Allen is going to be central to this case. He's the primary accuser against Sen. Stevens," former federal prosecutor Michael Levy said. "The government is gonna say that he's finally come forward and is telling the truth about the relationship between Veco and Sen. Stevens. The defense is gonna sit there and say this is a man who's got more than a decade of jail time hanging over his head, and the only way he can save his own skin is to sing whatever song the prosecutors want him to sing and that's all he's doing."
Who is Ted Stevens? Time magazine has an easy-to-skim review of the senator's long career, with interesting nuggets:
>Was a committed supporter of Title IX in the mid-1990s, which requires equal spending on men's and women's sports at the collegiate level.
>But said in 1999 that women don't support defense spending as much as men because women prefer to spend money on "touchy-feely things."
And finally, how is Stevens' trial like an Irish wake? Everyone in the room is a Sullivan, quips Washington Post columnists. Besides the judge and a lawyer on each side, the court reporter is a Sullivan. Keep the players straight with the Associated Press round up of key players. An Alaskan had one better: The trial should have been moved home and held in the ... Sullivan Arena.
Witchcraft video kicks up discussion of Palin's religion. If you haven't seen the video, the Alaska Politics blog posted it last night and includes a link to Alaska blogger Mudflats guide through sometimes hard-to-hear references in the video.
Today, Bruce Wilson at Huffington Post explains why Palin should talk about her religion and what it means to her now that she wants to be vice president. First, he quibbles with atheist Sam Harris, writing in Newsweek, over his questioning of the overt behaviors in Pentecostal faiths. Wilson isn't concerned there but with underlying fundamentals.
So, religious behaviors, in the case of the Christianity of Sarah Palin's churches, matter insofar as they are yolked to religious doctrines that affect the temporal, earthly realm. Triumphal and exceptionalist religions teaching their believers to "infiltrate" and gain control of governmental, business, educational and media sectors are toxic to the pluralist ethic that has characterized America's over two-centuries-long pioneering experiment with democracy.
That's why Sarah Palin's churches matter: not because people at Palin's churches speak in tongues or for any specific gestural or behavioral expression. These things are deeply felt and not properly mocked or stigmatized. Rather, Palin's churches matter because pastors in those churches espouse an aggressive form of Christian nationalism and also the doctrine that all forms of religious and philosophical beliefs other than their own are invalid and even under demonic influence.
Although the video is from 2005, the Associated Press reports that Palin spoke fondly of this minister on a visit to the church in June 2008.
"Pastor Muthee was here, and he was praying over me, and you know how he speaks, and he's so bold," Palin said. "And he was praying, 'Lord make a way, Lord make a way.' ... He said, 'Lord, make a way and let her do this next step.' And that's exactly what happened."
Sexism surfaces in Palin's visit with heads of state. This is painful. The New York Times reports on a scene captured by TV cameras as Palin met Asif Ali Zardari, the new president of Pakistan.
"I am honored to meet you," Ms. Palin said.
"You are even more gorgeous than you are on the (inaudible)," Mr. Zardari said.
"You are so nice," Ms. Palin replied. "Thank you."
"Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you," Mr. Zardari continued.
When an aide suggested they shake hands for the camera, Zardari said, "If he's insisting, I might hug."
Palin's ear gear during her New York visit drew a scathing remark from a British writer at The Guardian. She had dangling Alaskas, the shape of the state, from each ear.
Forget about the rimless glasses; Palin tells us a lot about herself through her choice of jewelry. Her ear-wear displays a carefully crafted lack of sophistication.
During a campaign rally in her home state, she decided upon beaded earrings that looked as if they had been picked up at a local craft fair. Accessorized with a glittery brooch that spelled out the word Alaska, the look couldn't have been more small-town America, more I'm one of you, I'm ordinary, I fight for my people.
So what is Palin saying with her homage to Alaska? With terrifying literal-mindedness, these earrings express everything we need to know about her pride in her roots and her people. At least no one will be in any doubt about where she's from.
Katie Couric's interview with Palin makes political analysts nervous. Jeff Greenwald writing on Salon.com posts the Couric interview above his words and then proceeds to express concern for her media strategy of avoidance and for the revealing snippets voters get in brief interviews. He says the Couric interviews made him feel sorry for Palin, who he thinks is "probably pretty smart."
But Sarah Palin's performance in the tiny vignettes of unscripted dialogue in which we've been allowed to see her has been nothing short of frightening ... One of two things is absolutely clear at this point: she is either (a) completely ignorant about the most basic political issues -- a vacant, ill-informed, incurious know-nothing, or (b) aggressively concealing her actual beliefs about these matters because she's petrified of deviating from the simple-minded campaign talking points she's been fed and/or because her actual beliefs are so politically unpalatable, even when taking into account the right-wing extremism that is permitted, even rewarded, in our mainstream.
What seems most likely is that she's perfectly conversant in the exceedingly narrow and parochial range of issues she's concerned herself with as Wasilla mayor and Alaska governor -- oil drilling on the North Slope, specific local budget items, corruption issues inside the Alaska state GOP and evangelical and religious matters. She really doesn't seem to have any thoughts about anything outside of that -- or if she does, she is suppressing them -- and is thus capable of spouting little more than empty right-wing slogans.
In other Palin news:
> Who is running Alaska with Palin on stump? (Associated Press)
Even Palin's lieutenant governor, Sean Parnell, said keeping in touch has been difficult. And since hackers broke into Palin's Yahoo e-mail account last week, he said, it has dropped off entirely.
"Until she was hacked, we were communicating just about daily. Now I'm talking with her chief of staff," Parnell said. "I saw her in person when she came home about a week ago, but I haven't spoken to her since."
> Palin delays personal financial reports (Associated Press)
The Republican vice presidential candidate received a four-day extension from the Federal Election Commission.
The federal financial disclosure report was initially due Monday. Now Palin has until Oct. 3.
> Palin dines with media mogul Rupert Murdoch (Politico.com)
What's in a non-endorsement? Well, depends on whom you ask. The endorser in this scenario is Sarah Palin, and the wannabes are Sen. Ted Stevens, Rep. Don Young, and candidate Ethan Berkowitz.
First Young. A story in Roll Call (subscription required) headlines with "Young sees no boost from Palin" and reports that despite his primary win over a Palin-endorsed Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, Young's numbers have continued to decline. His campaign manager is seeking a meeting with Palin and has also asked for Parnell's endorsement.
In August, Palin had this to say about Young:
"I don't think Don Young wants my endorsement," Palin said at the time. "I believe that ... as he expressed his dislike for our administration, I can't imagine he would seek the endorsement, so no need to offer it up without it being accepted."
For his part, Young won't even say her name.
"I won't talk about the current governor," Young said. "I've been under a lot of governors, and I just won't talk about this one."
Sounds like one cold war that may never thaw.
For his part, the Berkowitz campaign finds Palin's silence golden.
"Everyone up there is waiting to see what she's going to say, because it would be an incredible reversal for her to come up and say she's going to endorse Don Young or Ted Stevens," spokesman David Shurtleff said. "Her popularity is so high because she ran on a platform to get rid of people like that."
Now, on to Ted Stevens. At least one journalist has been trying to call the question for several weeks. Jake Tapper, ABC News senior correspondent, posed the question by e-mail to the McCain/Palin campaign two weeks ago and is keeping readers abreast of their lack of response. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner takes note of her silence as well.
Five companies bid $30 million to find oil and gas in NPRA. Reuters reports that the vast but lightly explored area attracted Conoco Phillips, Anadarko, Petro-Canda and Talisman Energy, all already holding leases in the area. The newcomer is Dallas-based Petro-Hunt.
The big-money bids unsealed Wednesday were for a region north of the Colville River and near the Brooks Range foothills, an area considered more likely a source of natural gas than oil.
Tom Lonnie, Alaska state director of the BLM, said he was pleased with the results of the lease sale, which offered about 4.8 million acres of land that had been previously available.
"I think it was quite successful," he told reporters after the bids were unsealed.
"Lake Lucille is basically a dead lake." David Talbot of Salon.com talks to town residents about the health of its two lakes and former Mayor Sarah Palin's lack of effort to save them.
"Sarah's legacy as mayor was big-box stores and runaway growth," said Patty Stoll, a retired Wasilla schoolteacher who once worked in the same school with Palin's parents, Chuck and Sally Heath. "The truth is, Wasilla is just plain ugly, it's not a pleasant place to live. It's not thought out. And that's a shame.
"Sarah fouled her own nest, and I can't understand why. I hate to think it was simply greed or ambition."
Why Sarah Palin's Alaska deserves more respect. Slate.com features part-time Alaskan Jim Albrecht's essay about what growing up in Alaska was like in light of the unflattering portrait many national visiting writers have painted.
I never thought it possible for Alaska to be the anvil of such partisan animosity, for Alaska, the land of libertarian neighborliness, to be sent to the front in the culture wars. I suppose the circumstances of one's childhood always tend to melt away slowly into new construction and nostalgia and loss, so I don't claim to be unique. But the harshness of the light on Sarah Palin calls up those distant memories, and their dissipation seems now abrupt as if the old neighborhood was subject to aerial bombardment and civil war.
In the old days, people used to leave their cabins unlocked in the winter (with notes saying, "Take what you need, leave what you can") because it was considered reckless to lock a shelter against those who might come across it in desperate straits. Growing up, we had no Internet to bring us together, but we had a shared geography that did so in a much more powerful way. Wilderness has a bully pulpit all its own, and, back when we could still hear it over the cell phones and the four-stroke snowmachines, it preached a repetitive sermon. 1) We don't all have to agree about everything, 2) but we do all have to survive the winter. If the Alaska of my childhood could be put on the stump, I believe that would be the content of its speech.
The ACLU asks, "What's it like to be gay in Alaska?" The GLBT news and events Web site, Bent Alaska.com offers links to the ACLU results to date, and a link to take the survey.
Responses to the survey have been collected via e-mail, online, and in person and include participants from Anchorage, Juneau, and Fairbanks. So far, 26 percent of respondents report having experienced discrimination or harassment in the workplace and an additional 18 percent have faced these obstacles outside work. When the lack of legal recognition of their partnerships and families is counted as a form of discrimination, the proportion of LGBT people who have suffered the consequences of discrimination is even higher.
"The survey shows that LGBT people want the same thing as most other Americans. They want to be able to provide for themselves and their families without worrying about being refused or fired from a job because of who they share their lives with," said Tiffany McClain, the ACLU of Alaska's LGBT public policy coordinator. "But in the state of Alaska they have no legal recourse if they suspect unfair treatment from an employer, landlord, or creditor."
Bent Alaska also links to an essay in The Advocate on what being gay in Wasilla is like. The essay remarks a dueling attitudes in the state.
"Alaskans live by a mindset of 'live and let live'," says former Wasilla resident Aaron Stielstra.
Will Hanna, 30, who moved to Alaska from what natives call "The Lower 48," agrees.
"It kind of feels like its own country sometimes," he says, referring to the strong culture of hunting and individual rights that often finds expression in gun ownership. "It wouldn't be unusual to see someone walking around Wasilla with a .45 strapped to them."

Remember Me
Let us not speak their name.
There is a traditional historiography of popular music which in some way or another always seems to come back to the Beatles; and Lonnie Donegan who begat The Beatles, and Elvis who begat Lonnie Donegan John Lee Hooker who begat Elvis and Robert Johnson who begat John Lee Hooker etc etc. But that is not what we are interested in here.
We don't love you (yeah, yeah, yeah).
We don't want to hold your hand.
So let us start in the year Phil Spector aged wrote and produced his first hit, "To Know Him Is To Love Him", taking the title from his father's epitaph. Phil Spector, the first Tycoon of Teen, the first Pop Genius, the first person making this crazy new music who was actually of the age of its audience, the first guy with any power in the music industry who actually liked this stuff.
Spector wasn't trying to bolster his label's back catalogue with a few easy money spinners in order to create the capital to record and release the Real music, the great classics that he Really cared about. Much like punk rock, pop music was developed and incubated in quite a cynical and pedestrian fashion.
It was often those who came just a little later, those who almost missed the boat, like the Pop Group, DNA, Sonic Youth, who took the promise of punk rock at face value and got excited about it and tore it apart in ways their progenitors could never have imagined; they made punk great and significant and important.Spector took the promise of rock'n'roll and the new socioeconomic class of the 'teenager' at face value and ran with it. This was the real music that was important and valuable and serious and worth caring
about. And anything was possible.
So let's draw on the magic and the energy of this period that we might almost think of as a golden age: the Spector years, the Brill building, Joe Meek's Triumph recordings in England and beyond that Motown, Stax, Studio One.
Let us make this our starting point and start here to tell our story, from whence we shall move both backwards and forwards (in historical terms, the two are never easy to separate anyway).
Already the astute amongst you may have started to notice a broader spectrum creeping in; shades of Philly soul, of afrobeat, disco, glam rock, riot grrrl, dance pop, R'n'B and, in the other direction, of doo wop, Broadway, the radio hits of the thirties and forties, music hall, the European folk tradition...
Let us continue to expand our temporal and spatial borders in this fashion and let us do so using the tools at hand. Like a bricoleur we shall construct our histories from what we already have around us, what is available to us immediately and what we already know: guitars, drums, percussion, a Philicorda organ, a saxophone, our own voices.
But we will never be limited by our own boundaries, never hypostatized into a bind from which we cannot move. We must grow and at all times be reaching out, through the personal relations we already have and that we constantly create and develop on a daily basis. Art, according to John Cage, is not a thing made by someone but a process through which everyone involved learns and experiences new things.
So let us draw towards us our friends, our enemies and our casual acquaintances, without regard for their talent, their ability or their experience and lets see what we can learn together through the action of simple, practical music making.
Let's see what new histories we can write together.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs 1B Lars Anderson designated for assignment
Martin Prado's acquisition in the trade sending Justin Upton to the Atlanta Braves spells bad news for Diamondbacks' first baseman Lars Anderson, who was designated for assignment to make room on the team's 40-man roster.
Diamondbacks Vice President and General Manager Kevin Towers made the announcement via press release Thursday.
With Paul Goldschmidt locked in as the starting first baseman, veteran Eric Chavez's ability to back him up on days off and Prado's versatility, Anderson was the odd man out in the Diamondbacks' latest set of roster moves.
The 25-year-old came to Arizona, along with shortstop Didi Gregorius, last December via a three-team trade that landed starting pitcher Trevor Bauer in Cleveland and outfielder Shin-Soo Choo in Cincinnati.
In 2012 Anderson hit .250 (99-for-396) with 27 doubles, 9 home runs and 59 RBI in 111 games with Triple-A Pawtucket (Red Sox) and Triple-A Columbus (Indians) in 2012. He also appeared in 6 games with Boston, going 1-for-8 (.125).

1. Put the chicken in a small skillet or saucepan with 3/4 cup cold water. Place over moderate heat, cover, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer just until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the water; let cool to room temperature. If making ahead, wrap in plastic and chill.
2. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the beans. Return to the boil and cook just until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Rinse under cold water and drain.
3. In a medium bowl, toss together the carrots and celery. Cut the cucumber lengthwise in half and scoop out the seeds with a small spoon; discard. Cut the cucumber crosswise into 1/4-inch slices and add to the bowl. Cut out the stems and ribs from the bell pepper quarters and tap out the seeds. Cut into 1/4-inch strips and add to the bowl. Cut the zucchini lengthwise in half and then crosswise into thin half rounds; add to the bowl along with the cherry tomato halves. Pour all of the dressing over the salad and toss to coat the ingredients. (This can be prepared several hours ahead and refrigerated.)
4. To assemble the salads: put 2 cups of the romaine into each of 4 large individual salad bowls (or on dinner plates) and top each with 1 cup spinach. Toss. Spoon one-fourth of the marinated vegetables over each, drizzling equal amounts of any dressing in the bottom of the bowl over each salad. Arrange one-fourth of the green beans in a bunch at the side of each salad. Tear the chicken, in the direction of the grain, into shreds and place one-fourth in the center of each salad. Scatter equal amounts of ham and Swiss cheese over each. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Add 2 lemon wedges to each bowl. To eat, squeeze one lemon wedge over the chicken and the other over the green beans.

The game was announced only a year ago and it was only in last December that we saw the first bits of in-game footage. Does that seem like enough time to create quality title? F/A+

Men mostly fall from heights
Just as darkness comes from light
And like day changes to night
So do best changes to worst
Men should wonder not
Why changes take best to worst
Aren't thieves born saints?
Aren't Rapist born innocent?
Even devil was once of light
And once in the queue of whites
But now the chief of hell
Of life changes is certain
And mostly to lowlands
From mountains
And to desert
From fountain
So men should wonder not
If thier bossom friends turn foes
It' meant so to be
Always woes
From Eden to Earth
So its not new

MoEF waives requirement of obtaining gram sabha certificates for linear projects. Will it dilute forest rights of people?
Gram sabhas or village councils will no longer have the power to reject building of roads, railways, transmission lines or other such linear projects. The Union ministry of environment and forests (MoEF), on February 5, exempted developers of such projects from the requirement to obtain consent of the gram sabhas to divert forestland for non-forest purpose.
Earlier in 2009, MoEF had made consent of affected gram sabhas mandatory for all projects that need diversion of forestland for non-forest purposes. The order was issued by the ministry keeping in mind the spirit of the Forest Rights Act (FRA), 2006 which mandates that forest dwellers cannot be resettled from forests unless their traditional rights over forest resources are recognised. The ministry had ordered that project proponents would have to submit certificates from the affected gram sabhas, stating that the rights of the forest dwellers under FRA have been settled and that the gram sabhas have no objection to the project.
Pressure tactics
Various ministries had been lobbying with MoEF, requesting it to exempt linear projects such as roads, canals, pipelines and transmission lines which pass through several villages. An inter-ministerial committee formed by the Prime Minister's Office had also recommended in December that linear projects should be exempted from having to obtain gram sabhas' approval. Last month, the National Highway Authority of India dragged MoEF and the ministry of tribal affairs to the Supreme Court, seeking exemption for highway projects.
"Projects like construction of roads, canals, laying of pipelines, optical fibres and transmission lines, where linear diversion of use of forestland in several villages are involved, unless recognised rights of Primitive Tribal Groups or Pre-Agricultural Communities are being affected, are exempted from the requirement of taking consent of the concerned gram sabhas," says MoEF's latest order.
While tribal affairs minister V Kishore Chandra Deo and the environment minister Jayanthi Natarajan have publicly said they are against dilution of FRA and the ministry's 2009 order, they have both agreed to treat linear projects differently. The MoEF's order specifically mentions that Deo had agreed for this exemption in a letter written to the minister of power on January 21.
This is just a ruse for acquiring land for 'progress' and 'development'. it will not take long for real estate mafia to get into this bandwagon.
What's next? Do we await a book titled "Forest Rights Act for Dummies"?

30th Anniversary
It's been a happy and busy time for many families as their kids settle back into school. Once again, my Facebook feed filled with cheery first-day-of-school photos, then soccer and football shots. Sweet and awkward Homecoming pictures. It brings me great joy to see my friends and their children delight in the promise of another year – school buses, sports and dances, yes, but also another year of learning. Another year to be stretched by great books and new concepts. It will be another year to work toward fulfilling their potentials.

As a result of the current conflicts in Syria and Mali, nearly 1 million children have difficult or no access to education. Thousands of schools have been damaged, destroyed or used for noneducational purposes. When these conflicts end, schools will lie in ruins, many teachers will have disappeared, and hundreds of thousands of children will have missed critical years of schooling. In many cases, this educational deficit will haunt them for the rest of their lives.

Six miles from the Jordan-Syria border there's a safe haven for more than 20,000 Syrians who have fled their homes. Though far from the fighting, the refugee camp is still a distressing place for children and youth who make up almost half of the population. One of the few escapes the children have is a local playground constructed by Mercy Corps last year.

I'm entering to bring my son and his two friends to their first ever playoff game. It would mean the world to them, to go root on their home town Falcons! My son plays QB on his school team and is a big fan of the Falcons. There is no way we could ever afford four tickets to a playoff game. Thanks for the opportunity!

Sam Raimi, director of the Spider-Man films, revealed back in January of this year that he has an interest in the character of Morbius and that sparked rumors that he would be (one of) the featured villains in the upcoming Spider-Man 4.
To me, this made perfect sense as it would allow the next movie to explore a darker and more realistic tone (compared to the more extreme Sandman and Venom characters). Even more than that, Morbius shares plenty of Marvel Comics history with the Lizard character (Dr. Curt Connors) who we saw introduced in Spider-Man 2 and play an important role in Spider-Man 3.
There is still no confirmation on the villains and we shouldn't expect any until we see the script completed. There's also a bit of an issue surrounding which studio owns the film rights to the Morbius character that will need clarifying if in fact, the character is to appear in the next movie.
Switching gears, let's move on to the character of Mary Jane… [Continue to Page 2]

The Cazenovia Girls Indoor Track and Field squad gathered recently at the Lincklaen House for a team dinner to celebrate the most successful season in the program's history. The Lady Lakers recognized a wide range of both team and individual achievements and also honored 16 seniors for their contributions.
The Lakers' team accolades for 2010-11 included the first-ever Section III and OHSL titles, along with its second consecutive Mohawk Valley championship. The ladies achieved an undefeated record, especially noteworthy in indoor track competition which features all multi-school meets including Class AA and A teams. The squad also earned NYSPHSAA Scholar-Athlete status for the eleventh consecutive season.
30 of the team's 40 athletes achieved a GPA of at least 90 percent during the season, with the top 12 averaging over 95 percent for the state-wide scholar-athlete team standings.
The Lady Lakers dominated All-League selections, earning 18 first-team slots and six second-team slots. The girls also earned 5 individual sectional champion titles and two relay titles for a total of 13 championship berths. The team's Section III championship point total (158) and margin of victory (62 points) were both the largest in Class B indoor track history.
12 Lakers earned slots at the elite State Qualifier Meet with two advancing to the New York State Championship Meet. Overall, 10 school records were set during the historic campaign.
The team built its success on an exceptional depth of contribution, but five athletes were recognized for their noteworthy contributions. Ashley Winn and Jillian Vogl were honored as co-Most Valuable Runners.
Winn set three school records, earned all-league honors in three events and sectional titles in two events. Vogl set a new school indoor record in the 200 meter dash, earned league honors in two events, was the Class B and overall Section III champion in the 300 and represented the Lakers at the state meet.

Much has been written about motors on variable-speed drives, high-speed rigid shaft motors, impact of API Standard 541, motor diagnostics, etc. Most of these papers and articles assume that the reader has significant knowledge of motor theory and operation. However, this assumption is overly optimistic, considering that only a few colleges teach motor theory today, and that application experience at motor user locations has been reduced in recent years. This paper is the third in a series of papers where the authors provide answers to questions that are routinely asked by working engineers in industry. The authors present motor theory and application information with an extensive reference list that will help working engineers increase their general understanding and knowledge of motors. This series of papers also serves as a valuable reference for those who apply and specify motors.

Attempting a System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 (SCVMM) Physical to Virtual conversion (P2V) fails with Error (1730) at 70%. More specifically, the P2V conversion seems to hang at 70% in the VMM console.
Another Symptom that might be noticed would be that the P2V job has Completed w/ Info.
If you open the Hyper-v console on the host where the VM is being placed, you'll notice that the VM is in a reboot loop. If you connect to the VM, the reboot loop is actually a ST0P: 0x0000007b bugcheck.
This problem can occur if a certain registry setting has been changed from the default value on the P2V Source machine used in the conversion.
The resolution is to return the default value to the following registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Wdf01000\Group] = Base
Change the value above from "Base" to "WdfLoadGroup" on the P2V Source machine used in the conversion.

The Valdivia International Film Festival is an international film exhibition that includes other cultural events like free concerts and book releases. The festival begun in 1993 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Cine Club of the Universidad Austral de Chile. A competition was included the following year, labeled as "Valdivia Cine & Video". That event became a milestone to cultural activity in southern Chile, promising at that time to become the greatest film event in the country. The early versions of the festival were oriented to ecological issues. From that point the characteristic trophy award emerged: the Pudú (The Pudú is a small kind of deer, typical of southern Chile). In 2001 the feature film competition category started, becoming the Festival into the most important film event in Chile.
