For compensating scattering losses of electrons in photoresists (proximity effect) which influence electron beam lithography by altering the pattern geometry it is suggested to expose selected partial areas of a pattern to an additional irradiation dosage in a second exposure step. For that purpose, a specific mask with corresponding correction openings can be used which is applied with the same, or with a different electron beam intensity. In a particularly advantageous manner the correction of the proximity effect can be achieved when complementary masks are used; the correction openings for the partial areas of the one complementary mask are arranged in the other complementary mask. The proximity effect is then corrected without an additional exposure step. For measuring the proximity effect a photo-optical process is suggested where line patterns with decreasing ridge width in the photoresist are defined through electron beam projection, and where the developing process of the photoresist is discontinued prematurely. The ridge edges which in the presence of the proximity effect are asymmetrical can be easily detected under the microscope.
1. A method of compensating the proximity effect in the imaging of patterns in electron beam projection systems comprising the steps of:
(a) performing an initial electron beam exposure of a radiation sensitive layer in predetermined pattern areas through an exposure mask having openings in correspondence with said pattern areas; and
(b) subjecting selected exposed pattern areas which require compensation for loss of electron beam due to scattering during said initial exposure to at least one additional electron beam exposure through a correction mask having openings in correspondence with said selected exposed pattern areas and of a dimension smaller than the corresponding openings in said exposure mask
whereby said predetermined pattern areas receive a uniform total electron beam exposure and the proximity effect due to scattering loss of electrons during the initial exposure is compensated.
2. The method as defined in claim 1 wherein said additional electron beam exposure is carried out at the same beam intensity as the initial exposure.
3. A method of compensating the proximity effect in the imaging of a predetermined pattern in electron beam projection systems comprising the steps of:
(a) dividing said pattern into first and second patterns;
(b) performing an initial electron beam exposure of a radiation sensitive layer through a first mask having exposure openings in correspondence with said first partial pattern and compensating openings in correspondence with said second partial pattern;
(c) subjecting said exposed partial patterns to an additional electron beam exposure through a second mask having exposure openings in correspondence with said second partial pattern and compensating openings in correspondence with said first partial pattern
whereby the proximity effect due to scattering loss of electrons during exposure through the exposure openings is compensated and the total electron beam exposure is rendered uniform in all of said pattern.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein the compensating openings in said first and second mask are in at least in one dimension slightly smaller than the corresponding exposure openings in the second and first mask, respectively.
The invention relates to a method of compensating the proximity effect in the imaging of patterns in electron beam projection systems.
In the production of integrated circuits, the reduction of manufacturing costs and increase of operating speed demand structures of continuously decreasing size. Conductive lines with a width of 1 micrometer and less can no longer be resolved by means of present-day photolithographic methods.
Although in principle lithographic processes with electron beams permit a much higher resolution in the transfer of patterns, there actually exist considerable difficulties due to scattering effects of the electrons in the radiation sensitive (photoresist) layer to be exposed, and in the substrate. This negative effect is called the proximity effect.
With the generally used electron beam energy of about 25 keV, the electron range in the photoresist and in the substrate is approximately 5 μm before being decelerated through collisions with atoms and electrons. This causes a lateral scattering of the impinging electrons by approximately that amount, and consequently a considerable blurring of the patterns transferred.
The effects of such scattering is shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 1A represents an insulated pattern element A in a photoresist layer 1; this pattern element can, e.g., be generated through the raster-like illumination with a fine electron beam, or through the projection of a corresponding mask opening with an electron beam of a greater diameter. The electrons impinging in area A are partly absorbed there; another part (represented by arrows), however, migrates outside area A and is thus lost for the exposure of the photoresist in area A. For compensating these scattering losses area A is therefore to be given a higher irradiation dose.
However, the higher irradiation dose to be applied depends on the immediate surroundings of the respective pattern element. If two pattern elements are closely adjacent, e. g., areas B1 and C in FIG. 1B, each element emits scattering electrons to the neighbouring element from which it also receives scattering electrons. Therefore the overall dose received in each of elements B1 and C is higher than in an isolated element B2.
For correcting the proximity effect it had therefore been suggested to subject the individual partial areas of the pattern to electron beams of differing intensity, and to determine the respective dosage in such manner that scattering electrons of other adjacent pattern elements are taken into consideration. A corresponding method is described in the article by Mihir Parikh, "Proximity Effect Corrections in Electron Beam Lithography", in J. Vac. Sci. Techn., Vol. 15, No. 3, 1978, pp. 382-391. To determine the respective irradiation dosage demands, however, extensive arithmetic operations (in a computer); furthermore, a local change of the irradiation dosage can be effected in an electron beam exposure system only where the electron beam is guided as a fine pen over the respective surface to be exposed (raster or vector scan principle).
However, electron beam exposure systems with raster-like beam deflection need long exposure times and are therefore of restricted use only for an economic semiconductor production. Electron beam projection systems where an exposure mask is imaged through an expanded electron beam following the shadow projection principle do not have this disadvantage, but such systems do not permit a local change of the exposure dosage, and consequently no compensation of the proximity effect. The practical use of electron beam projection systems for making highly integrated circuits is therefore questionable. For that reason it has been suggested to disregard an electron beam projection exposure, and to use instead ion beams where owing to the higher ion mass scattering effects play a very minor part only. However, such ion systems are more complex with regard to beam generation and control.
Another way of compensating the proximity effect which in principle would also be applicable to electron beam projection systems consists in exposing the individual pattern elements not in their nominal dimensions but in using an exposure area larger than the respective pattern element. In the development of the photoresist the proximity effect causes a shrinkage to the respective nominal dimensions.
To fix the exact dimensions of the area to be exposed considering the future shrinkage is, however, highly complicated for intricate patterns, and it can no longer be executed with automatic calculation methods. Consequently this method cannot be applied as a practical means for production; a correction of the proximity effect can under these circumstances only be performed by a variation of the irradiation dosage.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a quickly realizable method for compensating the proximity effect that can be used in electron beam projection systems. Furthermore, a measuring method for the proximity effect is to be given which is easy to apply.
For compensating the proximity effect the invention suggests to give to the individual pattern elements the respective local irradiation dosage required in consideration of the proximity effect in two or more exposure steps, each with the same dosage but with different masks. This multiple exposure of selected pattern elements can be easily carried out with so-called complementary masks in that additional mask openings for pattern areas of the one mask are respectively provided in the associated complementary mask.
By means of the method according to the invention and using correspondingly modified complementary masks the resolution of the electron beam projection can be improved for structures of down to 0.5 μm. This only involves one single determination of form and arrangement of the additional openings in the complementary masks. For a detailed examination of the consequences of the proximity effect, and for measuring the additional openings a correspondingly sensitive and at the same time uncomplicated measuring method is given. It suggests to expose the radiation sensitive (photoresist) layer with predetermined fine structures, and to discontinue the development process prematurely in order to obtain data on sub-etching owing to the proximity effect.
Below, embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The drawings show the following:

FIG. 7 in part FIGS. 7A to 7D photo-optical images of a test pattern showing lines of increasing width, taken at different times of the developing process.
The general method for compensating the proximity effect in electron beam projection systems consists in dividing a complex exposure pattern into individual partial patterns, and to determine for each partial pattern the additional exposure (electron beam dosage) required to compensate the proximity effect. This additional irradiation dosage depends on the respective surroundings of each partial pattern. Depending on the irradiation dosage found, and on the form of the partial pattern an opening in an exposure mask is defined with which the partial pattern is exposed for a second time, with an electron beam of the intensity of the initial exposure.
FIG. 2 shows this method with an example of an exposure pattern as described in connection with FIG. 1. The longitudinal partial pattern 20 is split into two areas B1, B2, with B1 being provided opposite partial pattern C, reference number 21. Partial patterns B1 and C each receive scattering electrons of the other partial pattern, and for compensating the proximity effect they therefore require only a relatively small additional exposure dosage; this additional dosage is supplied by means of a second exposure in the hatched areas 22, 23. Isolated partial pattern B2 receives no (or less) scattering electrons of other partial patterns so that the total irradiation dosage available for its exposure is clearly less than in partial patterns B1 and C. The additional exposure for compensating the proximity effect is therefore to be effected with a higher dosage; accordingly, (hatched) area 24 applied in the second exposure is larger than in partial patterns B1 and C. The exact size and the exact position of the hatched areas of second exposure has to be precisely determined for each individual case, taking into consideration all losses and contributions of the proximity effect for each partial pattern. This can be calculated (with algorithms or tables for standard patterns), or it can be effected in experiments by measuring the respectively required additional dosage. A measuring method for the proximity effect will be described in detail below.
The consequences of the proximity effect, and of the additional correction exposure onto a ridge-shaped profile in the photoresist are represented in FIG. 3. In FIG. 3A, irradiation dosage (D) is given over a local coordinate (X); dashed line 30 represents the distribution of the irradiation dosage when there is no electron scattering in the photoresist; solid line 31 represents the case with electron scattering. The minimum dosage required for exposing the photoresist is assumed to have value DO ; the line width in the developed photoresist is obtained from the intersection of dosage distribution and minimum dosage DO. FIG. 3A shows that width b, which results in the case without scattering (corresponding to the respective nominal width) is not reached when there are scattering effects, but only a reduced width b'.
For compensating this proximity effect, the invention suggests to use instead of a distribution of the irradiation dosage according to line 30, an intensity profile in accordance with FIG. 3B; within the desired line width b, an additional exposure (electron irradiation) is provided in an area k, e.g., with a second exposure mask with openings of width k. (The trapezoid shape of the dosage curve instead of the theoretically expected vertical limitations is due to inevitable electron-optical effects).
The resulting exposure profile of the two superimposed exposures is shown in FIG. 3C at reference number 32. This curve intersects the horizontal of minimum exposure DO at the respective points of intersection so that after the exposure of the photoresist nominal width b is obtained.
The double exposure for correcting the proximity effect can, e.g., be carried out in a second exposure step, with an exposure mask having openings corresponding to the double exposure patterns.
Such a second exposure step suitable for proximity effect correction only is avoided in connection with complementary masks as described in applicants' German Pat. No. 27 39 502 corresponding to U.S. Pat. No. 4,169,230. Owing to the strong interactions of electrons and matter, the mask patterns in electron beam projection systems cannot be provided on a "transparent" substrate; instead, the mask openings are preferably real holes in the mask. However, isolated pattern elements cannot be made in this manner since they do not have a support. This problem can be solved through the superposition of two complementary masks in that the isolated structure is divided into suitably formed and supported partial structures.
The above described correction of the proximity effect can in complementary masks be achieved as a by-product without any additional exposure step. After the division of the mask pattern into two complementary masks the respective additional correction exposure is determined for each partial pattern thus formed, and a corresponding opening is made in the other complementary mask.
The principle of complementary masks is shown schematically in FIG. 4; dotted ring 40 is to be exposed, centerpiece 41' is not to be exposed. For forming complementary masks A and B, ring 40 is divided into four partial areas 40a to 40d, and two respective of these partial areas (40a, 40c, 40b, 40d, respectively) are arranged on an exposure mask (B and/or C). Through the superposition of the two masks B, C the annular exposure area 40 is obtained without there being any mechanical stability problems for center area 41'.
For correcting the proximity effect in the annular exposure area of FIG. 4A, double exposures are necessary in those areas which in FIG. 5A are hatched, and marked with reference numbers 50a to 50d.
FIGS. 5B and 5C represent correction masks that may be used when for each complementary mask an additional exposure step would be carried out to correct the proximity effect. The correction mask with reference number 51 in FIG. 5B, and with apertures 50b, 50d is provided to correct complementary mask 42 with areas 40b, 40d, and accordingly correction mask 52 in FIG. 5C with apertures 50a, 50c to correct complementary mask 41 with areas 40a, 40c. These additional correction masks, however, are not necessary when the correction mask for a complementary mask is integrated in the respective other complementary mask.
The combinations of complementary and correction masks are shown in FIGS. 5D and 5E. Complementary mask 41 thus comprises correction or compensating openings 50b, 50d for complementary mask 42, and vice versa complementary mask 42 comprises correction or compensating openings 50a, 50c for complementary mask 41. By superimposing the two supplemented masks 41, 42 in FIGS. 5D and 5E, FIG. 5A with the respective areas of double exposure is obtained.
To ensure the mechanical stability of the masks in accordance with FIGS. 5E and 5D the correction openings have to be slightly smaller than the associated exposure openings.
In masks 41, 42 of FIGS. 5D, 5E between the actual exposure openings (e.g. 40a) and correction openings (e.g. 50b), there consequently remain sufficient ridges to separate these partial patterns. Ridge widths of 0.3 to 0.4 μm will be enough for the mask stability.
In the method of compensating the proximity effect with two exposure steps of the same intensity, as described here, a partial pattern can receive as correction dosage only once more the dosage used for the initial exposure (i.e., when the opening of the correction mask corresponds to the opening of the partial pattern). This restriction of the applicable correction exposure is most evident in isolated pattern elements (e.g. small squares), and it restricts the application of the method to patterns with a maximum resolution of 0.5 μm. With even smaller dimensions of the structure to be imaged the losses through the proximity effect are greater than the maximum applicable correction irratiation. In that case, compensation would have to involve the additional exposure with higher intensity and/or another separate mask.
The exact determination of position and form of the double exposure pattern part requires the precise measuring of the range of the proximity effect. Below, a method will be described permitting a direct measuring of this scope. According to this method, a test pattern is imaged on a radiation sensitive (photoresist) layer and developed which consists of several groups of lines of equal width but where from group to group there is a slight increase of line width (approximately 1/8 μm).
The ratio of line width d to the range of the proximity effect in the photoresist determines the shape of the line edges after the photoresist development.
FIG. 6 is a schematic representation of the influence of the proximity effect on edge profiles. FIG. 6 uses as a test object an extended photoresist area 60 with an edge 61, as well as a ridge 62 with edges 63 and 64 and a width d. Owing to the proximity effect edge 61 receives a back-scattering dosage on one side only (from exposed area 65); the dosage at edge 63, on the other hand, depends on whether width d of the ridge is bigger or smaller than the range of the proximity effect. In the latter case, e.g. with a smaller width, edge 63 receives scattering electrons from exposed area 65 as well as from exposed area 66. Therefore the profile of edge 63 will alter, compared with the profile of edge 61 as soon as thickness d adopts a value that is comparable with the range of the proximity effect.
FIG. 6A represents the situation after a full development of the photoresist when width d is greater than the proximity effect. FIG. 6B shows a ridge with width d' smaller than the proximity effect range; after a full development of the photoresist there is "sub-etching" at edges 63 and 64 owing to the proximity effect.
Distinguishing the various edge profiles can in principle be effected photomicroscopically, or with a scanning electron microscope (which latter case would involve the destroying of the sample). To distinguish various profiles in the limit zone (i.e., line width d ≲ range of the proximity effect) is, however, very complicated as there are only minor deviations or only a small asymmetry of edges 61 and 63, 64.
For an easier detection of the profiles, particularly in photomicroscopic observation it is therefore suggested not to develop fully the above-mentioned exposed line pattern in the usual manner, but to discontinue the developing process prematurely, e.g., after approximately 70 to 80% of the full developing time.
Instead of the profile in FIG. 6A there will be a profile of the type shown in FIG. 6C and instead of the profile of FIG. 6B the profile according to FIG. 6D will be obtained.
The distinguishing of the profiles between 6C and 6D can now be made photomicroscopically much more easily and clearly than that of the profiles according to FIGS. 6A, B. Any changes of edge profile 63 owing to the proximity effect can be easily ascertained in that the symmetry in profiles 61 and 63 is compared. If with a decreasing ridge width d a deviation in the symmetry of the two edges appears for the first time this ridge width corresponds to the range of the proximity effect. Since asymmetries in the edge profile are very easily found by optical means this method of interrupted development represents a direct and quick measuring of the range of the proximity effect.
In FIG. 7 the two evaluation methods for line test patterns are compared. The microscopic photographs 7A and 7B represent test objects where developing had been interrupted after 70% of the developing period. Partial FIGS. 7C and 7D represent the same test patterns after a 100% development. The exposed and etched areas are marked 70 to 79.
In FIG. 7A, ridge width d is smaller than the range of the proximity effect. Consequently, the left and right edges of etched area 70 are asymmetrical so that there appears another thin line at the left edge of area 70. In FIG. 7B width d precisely corresponds to the range of the proximity effect so that in the stepwise widening of ridge width d both edges of area 70 appear symmetrical for the first time.
FIG. 7C corresponds to FIG. 7A after a 100% development, FIG. 7D corresponds to FIG. 7B after a 100% development. In both FIGS. 7C and 7D it is very difficult if not impossible to find any differences caused by the proximity effect, for an edge sub-etching is scarcely noticeable optically.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Betting Genius gives you the possibility to keep track of home, away and overall statistics for each team. The team statistics table also enables you to add, edit or delete teams, as well as sort data in an ascending or descending order.
The cross table displays the scores of all played matches and the ones waiting to be played, while the streak table shows the winning, drawing and losing streaks of all teams at home and away.
What's more, you can analyze and compare the past performance of one or two teams using the team comparison chart. You may compare teams in terms of home, away and overall statistics, and view the results in 2D and 3D or with the aid of different graph styles (bar, line, point or stair) and graph types (e.g. team rating, goal difference, performance, points).
Making predictions and viewing score details
Betting Genius reveals all upcoming matches, predictions and odds which can be sorted in an ascending or descending order and filtered by date, round and team. Additionally, you can add, edit and delete matches.
The application displays scores and predictions of all matches that have been played, and you are entitled to add, edit or delete matches, sort and filter data.
You can add players, assign an image to each player, edit, delete, sort and filter players, and download league files directly from the Betting Genius website.
Several betting tools to play with
There's support for several betting tools that you can make use of, such as arbitrage finder for detecting arbitrage situations, match prediction based on home and away teams, betting systems, handicaps, team strength and players, prediction history for viewing the progress and accuracy of the predictions, betting system analyzer (useful for punters), and ticket manager (tracking the progress and managing the profit of single or multiple bets).
Bottom line
All in all, Betting Genius comes with an impressing suite of sports management and prediction tools but the GUI is not highly intuitive so rookies may spend some time getting used to working with its features.

Sheriff's department didn't investigate Cheney incident until next day
Ambassador to Switzerland was along; no one was drinking, host says

|Pam Willeford, U.S. ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein
Cheney, Whittington and U.S. ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein Pam Willeford were hunting quail on the Northwest part of the 50,000-acre Armstrong Ranch Saturday afternoon, when Cheney, firing at a covey of quail, sprayed Whittington with shotgun pellets.
Katharine Armstrong, one of the owners of the ranch, said the priority was to address Whittingtons injuries, and thus it didnt occur to the family to contact the authorities.
"The sheriff came the next morning and took a statement." Armstrong said. "It did not even occur to me. It was not like somebody had robbed a filling station. It was not like a criminal thing."
None in the hunting party was drinking alcohol, Armstrong said.
"No, zero, zippo and I dont drink at all," she said. "No one was drinking."

I remember selling Fuji 35mm 36exp film in the early 1990s for IR£2.99. (Irish Punt before the Euro)
Now calculating for inflation that would be, in todays money, IR£5.86 which since I now use Euro would be 7.44. Today I sell the same film for 4.66, thats 37% cheaper than the 1990s price and that was when film was in its' hayday.
IMO I think the price of film has never been cheaper, even with recent price increases.

The Mississippi State junior right hander gave up three runs, two earned, in the top of the ninth inning as the Tigers went on to beat the No. 2 Bulldogs 6-4 at Dudy Noble Field.
It is the fourth time in his Bulldog career that Holder (0-1) has given up three runs in a relief appearance. It is also his second-career loss.

Mint State Ptolemaic MnaieionPtolemy VI to VIII (180-117 BC). AV mnaieion (28mm, 27.76 gm, 12h). Alexandria, ca. 170-116 BC. Veiled head of the deified Arsinoë II with ram's horn, wearing diademed stephane, lotus scepter over far shoulder, K behind / ΑΡΣΙΝΟΗΣ ΦΙΛΑΔΕΛΦΟΥ, double cornucopia bound with diadem. Svoronos, 1498. SNG Copenhagen 322. Deeply struck on a broad flan from dies of fine style and fully lustrous. NGC MS? 5/5 - 4/5.
It has been speculated that the later K-type mnaieions issued during the reigns of Ptolemy VI through VIII feature a disguised portrait of Cleopatra II, who was the sister and later wife of both brothers. If such is the case, the K behind the head could refer to Kleopatra (on the original issues of Ptolemy II-III, from which the later issues were copied, the K was one of several letters used to designate obverse dies). Certainly the portrait on these later issues bears little resemblance to the face of Arsinoë II found on the gold pieces minted closer to her lifetime. Whether the difference is the result of stylization, as found in succeeding portraits of Ptolemy I Soter, or does in fact reflect the features of the contemporary Ptolemaic queen must remain an intriguing mystery.

Originally written on The Sports Bank | Last updated 12/7/11
If you thought it was disgusting and disturbing that former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was out walking around freely (as I certainly did) then you will no doubt exact a measure of satisfaction, a sense of justice from today's news story. I mean the guy lived across the street from an elementary school- how f***d up is that? And does/did have a wife? Who the f** marries a child molester? Then again, two women married a tree killing Alabama fan hillbilly, so I guess anything is possible. Sandusky was arrested and arraigned Wednesday on new sex abuse charges brought forward by two new accusers. The charges stem from new accusers who were questioned by a grand jury last month. One one of the victims claims he was assaulted after meeting Sandusky in 1997 and the other alleges that he was assaulted in 2004. Here's more from ESPN.com A judge set Sandusky's bail at $250,000 cash. Sandusky must wear an electronic monitoring bracelet and he is barred from Penn State prop...

Ripken Stadium — home of the Aberdeen IronBirds — was transformed into a wrestling arena Sunday night for the latest stop on TNA's Impact World Tour. In case you missed it, three dedicated and talented Baltimore Sun summer interns were there to provide a running, retroactive commentary of the event.
Here's the account from Aaron Dodson, Cody Goodwin and Trevor Hass, with time noted on each post:
Aaron 5:22 A Jay Z song is playing that I can't remember the name of for some reason. Cody tries to Shazam it, but nothing comes up. 38 minutes until SHOWTIME!
Trevor 5:23 What is an IronBird?
Cody 5:24 We're almost 30 minutes away from go time, and there's literally 63 people here in attendance so far.
Aaron 5:28 There's an old guy ringside with long Michael Bolton-esque hair and a shiny gold wrestling belt. Two questions: How long has he been growing his hair? And where did he get that belt?
Trevor 5:29 They have tampons and napkins in the press box bathroom for 25 cents apiece. Not sure I've ever seen napkins sold in a bathroom before.
Aaron 5:31 Here comes the family of tge guy who looks like Michael Bolton. They have belts, too.
Trevor 5:32 I wonder if Cal Ripken Jr. is in attendance. Probably.
Aaron 5:38 Our ringside seats are next to (fake) Michael Bolton and his family.
Aaron 5:49 First Hulk Hogan paraphernalia spotted. A Hulk Hogan bandana with matching Hulkmania shades and Hulk Hogan t-shirt. #uberswaggy

This is a new thing I'm trying with my blog. Once or twice a week, I'll post a rant on something or other that kind of gets on my nerves. Whether you consider it good reading or not, it's more or less venting for me. Today I'm going with the movie The Dark Knight Rises. While this movie may be one of my favorites of all time, there are certain things that just didn't feel right about it. First up, ---Bane's Death--- This never felt right to me, and is my biggest problem with the movie. Bane was the main villain for most of the movie. We were made to feel intimidated by him, to fear his strength and intelligence. Even his voice oozed intimidation. He absolutely destroyed Batman the first time (and it could be argued he would have the second fight, if not for his mask) they fought. We were made to FEAR him. And what death did this excellent villain deserve? A worthy fight with The Batman? Dying for his cause? An impossible redemption? Nope. Catwoman rolls in and blows him away in half a second. We are instantly forced to accept that Bane is dead, and Talia is now the focus. WHAT? I'm sorry, but the transition between Bane and Talia could have been handeled so much better. --- The Giant Flaming Bat Symbol --- This should be pretty well known. Batman has a deadline to stop a nuke, and he spends it spreading kerosene on a bridge to make a giant flaming bat? I understand he did it to send a message, but still, it didn't make sense. Cool, I admit. --- No Batmobile? --- I understand that "The Bat" replaced it as a more convinient means of travel for Bruce, but where did it go? It's not shown once in the film, to my knowledge. And why didn't Batman ever use the canon attached to the top? Think Bruce, think. --- The Joker --- Nolan left out mentions of The Joker to respect the death of Ledger. I don't mean to sound crude, but was it needed? I would think a mention somewhere of the character would respect Ledger's role even MORE. And, again, it just doesn't make sense. The Joker puts Gotham through all this, and nobody mentions him once? It was a tad disappointing. --- BATARANGS --- Batman's signature gadget, and we only see a variant of them? They weren't even used once in The Dark Knight! Again, a little disappointing. ----- Well that about does it. I'm sure I could think of more, but frankly I'm a little tired of writing. Feel free to comment any issues YOU had with the movie, or if I made any mistakes. Feedback is appreciated! - ImTheDamnBatman

Cirrus has best year since 2008
Cirrus Aircraft delivered 276 new aircraft last year, nearly a 10 percent increase compared with 2012, marking its best aircraft shipment performance since 2008. The company's annual market share has grown to an all-time high of 37 percent and the SR22/22T model remains the best-selling four- or five-seat airplane for the 11th year in a row, Cirrus said in a news release.
"The key driver to this past year's outstanding performance was Cirrus owners' and pilots' strong response to Generation 5 - which was introduced in early 2013 with the new capability to carry 200 lbs more than any previous Cirrus airplane," said Todd Simmons, executive vice president sales, marketing and customer support.
"But what makes 2013 results more important than any other year in our history is the real expansion of the Cirrus customer base in the last 12 months. The most significant examples include current Cirrus owners upgrading to new 'G5' airplanes, first-time Cirrus owners moving up to the performance and capability of G5 from other airplane brands, corporate aircraft operators adding a Cirrus to a previously all turbine fleet, and both domestic and international training partners upgrading to new Cirrus aircraft. This broader and more diversified customer portfolio continues to drive the enterprise in 2014," he said.
During 2013, Cirrus delivered more than 20 aircraft o the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) for its pilot training needs.
"Cirrus is proud to have been selected by the RSAF," stated Jon Dauplaise, vice president of fleet and special mission aircraft. "This new fleet of Cirrus aircraft by partners in the Middle East is the most recent example of impressive global institutions choosing to train its new pilots with technically advanced aircraft."
The Royal Saudi Air Force is the third national Air Force that has recently selected Cirrus Aircraft for its training needs, following the United States and France.Previous Daily Briefing Articles:

As of Thursday, July 5, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
RIVERDALE — As a college student years ago, Tom Brown had to have an MRI scan. Technicians laid him on his back, shoved him into a tight metal tube and expected him to stay perfectly motionless while a noisy machine took snapshots of his insides for some doctor's amusement.
Problem was, Brown's nose started to itch — and he couldn't scratch it.
"I just freaked out," Brown said. "I couldn't move."
OMI Diagnostics' new MRI system will be the first of its kind in Clayton County to reduce that freak-out factor by being roomier and less closed-in, making it more accessible to obese and claustrophobic patients. And no one could be more pleased about it than Brown, now president of OMI.
The equipment, manufactured by Siemens Medical Solutions, fills a room and cost about $1.25 million. Technicians are tweaking it to go online later this month at OMI's office near Southern Regional Medical Center.
"It's big enough that if I'm in the tube I can move my hand and touch my nose," said Brown. "I can turn on my side if I want to. You don't feel like you're in a coffin."
MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging, a process by which powerful magnets are used to "see" into a person's body. Although they're considered to be safer than X-rays, the machines used to produce the images are constrictive and not fat-friendly. What's worse, MRI equipment can be fussy. If the subject moves — as someone who starts to panic in such a constricted space might — the image is ruined and has to be re-taken. Brown said the new Siemens set-up will produce better images and increase efficiency by making it easier to do the job right the first time.
What makes the system less intimidating is its larger opening and shorter length. Brett Wilson, a Siemens account executive, said that combining that size with the unit's level of sensitivity is unique to his company's product.
And the feeling of actually lying in it?
"It's the difference between going into a tunnel and going into a doughnut hole," Wilson said.
Brown said that while MRI equipment like OMI's is part of a trend — he knew of similar equipment by another manufacturer in Stockbridge — this was the only Siemens unit and the first of its kind in Clayton.
Atlanta-based OMI has six offices in the metro area. Its Riverdale office opened in 2005.

It lies 40 air miles southwest of Anchorage. Community Map Available No Latitude 61.1719 Longitude -151.1683 Climate Beluga falls within the gulf coast transitional climate zone, characterized by a semi-arid atmosphere, long, cold winters, and mild summers. History and Culture History Various Tanaina Athabascan settlements in this area include Old Tyonek Creek, Robert Creek, Timber Camp, Beluga, and Moquawkie Indian Reservation. Russian trading settlements were established in the area prior to the 1790s. Beluga means "white whale" in Russian and refers to the beluga whales that feed in Cook Inlet. Between 1836 and 1840, half of the region's Natives died from a smallpox epidemic. The Alaska Commercial Company had a major outpost at nearby Tyonek by 1875. In 1880, "Tyonok" station and village, believed to be two separate communities, had a total of 117 residents, including 109 Athabascans, 6 "creoles", and 2 whites. After gold was discovered at Resurrection Creek in the 1880s, Tyonek became a major disembarkment point for goods and people. A saltery was established in 1896 at the mouth of the Chuitna River north of Tyonek. In 1915, the Tyonek Reservation (also known as Moquawkie Indian Reservation) was established. The village of Tyonek was moved to its present location atop a bluff when the old site flooded in the early 1930s. Culture Beluga is a CDP in the Kenai Peninsula Borough. It has a low population density, with a total area of 103.4 square miles and a total of 32 year-round residents as of the 2000 census. The population increases significantly in the summer, as residents of Southcentral Alaska utilize the many recreational cabins in the community. Year-round residents tend to work in field services for the oil and gas industry. The majority of Beluga's land owners are involved in sport fishing and hunting.
