No. 996,985, filed Dec. 23, 1992, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,300,155 entitled an IC chemical mechanical planarization process incorporating slurry temperature control, is an application filed by the same assignee.
The present invention relates to integrated circuits (ICs) fabrication. Particularly, there is a chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) process incorporating the controlled timed release of two chemical mixtures. Uniquely, the CMP process speeds dramatically increase when applying the two stage chemical process.
Historically, chemical mechanical planarization, also known as "CMP," has been developed for many uses in the semiconductor industry; like removing a thin top layer of material from a semiconductor wafer.
A representative CMP machine, as illustrated in FIG. 1, comprises: a wafer carrier 10 holding a semiconductor wafer 12 which is pressed against a course polishing pad 16 mounted on a platen or holder 18 which rotates about its axis. Not shown in this figure, is the chemical slurry which is applied to the pad 16 for using chemical action to further aid in removing material from the surface of the semiconductor wafer 12.
In operation, a CMP machine works like a sanding machine and acid bath combined. To mechanically remove wafer material wafer 12 is positionally fixed and held against abrasive polishing pad 16 while platen or holder 18 rotates. The chemical slurry is used to chemically remove the wafer material.
FIG. 2 illustrates a representative cross section of a wafer 12 comprising: a tungsten material 20 having a top surface layer 23, a few silicon-type material sections 22, and a wafer base 24.
FIG. 3 illustrates the desired resulting wafer design desired after removing the appropriate amount of top layer material 23; thus, leaving a smooth and plainer top surface.
A major problem with current CMP processes is that FIG. 3 is a goal that is achievable only by a long process time; usually requiring seven or more minutes. As illustrated in FIG. 4, it is shown that material 20 has not achieved a level surface that is even with the silicon-type material sections 22. This situation occurs because the chemical removal process usually continues to remove the tungsten even after the mechanical material removal process has ceased. It has been difficult to control the chemical removal process. The option of discarding the chemical process is not possible, it being the fastest removal process. Therefore, complex timing schemes have been developed for removing the wafers before the chemical process removes too much tungsten.
It is noted that the above described problem, as well as other problems, are solved through the subject invention and will become more apparent, to one skilled in the art, from the detailed description of the subject invention.
One skilled in the art will appreciate the advantage of the subject CMP process. Specifically, there is a CMP process which incorporates small quantities of two chemicals. The first chemical is the standard slurry mixtures, like water and aluminum trioxide mixed into a slurry. The second chemical is a strong base chemical, like KOH, or potassium hydroxide. Moreover, the CMP process utilize a system of closely regulating the timing of the two chemical process. Specifically, during a first time period, both chemicals are applied; thus increasing speed of the chemical removal of tungsten-material During a second time period, the KOH is removed, thus slowing down the chemical action and importantly achieving a greater degree of planarization than is capable by the two chemical first time period.
Other features and objects of the present invention will become more clear from the following detailed description of the invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and claims, or may be learned by the practice of the invention.
FIG. 1 is an illustration of a CMP machine.
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of a wafer before undergoing a CMP process.
FIG. 3 is a desired cross sectional view of a wafer after successful removal of the top tungsten layer.
FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view of a wafer after undergoing a typical CMP process.
FIG. 5 illustrates a top view and representation of the CMP process.
FIG. 6 illustrates the percentage of material removed over time given the first and second one minute time periods.
FIG. 7 illustrates a representative side view of a die on a wafer after undergoing the first time period of the proposed CMP process.
It is noted that the drawings of the invention are not to scale. The drawings are merely schematic representations, not intended to portray specific parameters of the invention. The drawings are intended to depict only typical embodiments of the invention, and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention will be described with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings. Additionally, like numbering in the drawings represent like elements within and between drawings.
The following U.S. patents are herein incorporated by reference for pertinent and supporting information:
U.S. Pat. No. 4,992,135, is a method of etching back of tungsten layers on semiconductor wafers, and solution therefore.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,811,522, is a counterbalanced polishing apparatus.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,193,226, is a polishing apparatus.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,841,031, is a process for polishing thin elements.
The following discussions are in reference to both FIGS. 5, 6 and 7. FIG. 5 illustrates a top view and representation of the CMP process. Specifically, it is demonstrated that KOH and slurry mixtures are applied to the CMP process via separate application delivery mechanisms, lie tanks, pumps, and tubes. The two delivery design is unique to the invention. If KOH were to be mixed with the slurry, in a relatively short time, the slurry will begin to titrate, or harden instead of remaining in a slurry mixture; thereby clogging the delivery mechanism. Thus it would be impossible to apply the combined mixture for any length of time. However, by separating the two chemicals, the separate application quantities and timing of those quantities can now be controlled.
FIG. 6 illustrates the percentage of material removed over time for the two chemical application time periods. One skilled in the art will recognize that approximately 90% of the top tungsten layer is removed during the first CMP process period. Uniquely, both chemicals are applied to the process, where KOH will perform the majority of the material removal. FIG. 7, illustrates that the planarization of the removed material is relatively rough, yet there remains a small portion 25 remaining to be removed.
Again, referring to FIG. 6. One skilled in the art will understand that the removal of the KOH from the second time period will significantly slow the chemical removal process. In contrast, it is understood that during the second time period, mechanical action becomes the primary removal mechanism for removing the removing portion 25 of material. Mechanical material removal processes are much slower than chemical; however, mechanical processes are more precise in controlling the quantity of material to be removed. Uniquely, by combining the slurry and mechanical material removal process, a smooth planarization as was illustrated in FIG. 3 is achievable at a significantly faster rate than prior methods.
It is noted, by using the basic KOH chemical for a short period of the CMP process, roughly 80 to 90% of the material can be removed in the first time period. Whereas, prior art methods would have taken roughly 6 times the amount of time to accomplish the same task. Moreover, by eliminating the KOH application for the second time period, there is only a 10 to 20% of the material remaining to be removed by the conventional CMP process to achieve the desired planarization quality. Thus, only 10 to 20% of the time is the new method working as slow as prior art methods.
It is additionally noted that during the first time period the majority of the material is removed by the chemical action from the two chemical mixtures. However, it should not be forgotten that a minority of the material, removed in this first time period, is removed by the mechanical action from the abrasive polishing pad 16.
Similarly, it is noted that during the second time period the majority of the material is removed by the mechanical action from the abrasive polishing pad 16. The minority of the material, removed in this second time period, is removed by the chemical action of the slurry chemical mixture. Mechanical material removal is slower, yet it is more precise for achieving a greater planarized surface than is achievable with the chemical action. This is one of the main reasons that a diluted slurry is used during the second period.
There are several obvious variations to the broad invention and thus come within the scope of the present invention. Uniquely, this invention may work with any material (metals or dielectrics) to be removed via CMP processes; for example, Al, Cu, silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, etc. Additionally, any typical slurry chemical used in a CMP process will yield satisfactory results.
Another variation to the invention, and in reference to FIG. 6, is that the time taken for the first time period (having KOH) may be varied for several reasons. If the concentration of KOH is increased, then the overall time to remove a given amount of material will decrease. Similarly, if it is possible to remove more than 90% of the material with KOH then the overall time of the first period would increase. However, if is not possible to accurately or finely control the quantity of the material to be removed then it may be advantageous to stop the removal process at about 80% before initiating the second time period of the CMP process. It is also noted that any combination of KOH concentrations and control of the removed material quantity will equally effect the timing between the first and second time periods. Therefore, the two time periods do no have to be equal. However, it is restated that not matter what the time periods are, the overall time for this new process will be much less than prior art processes not utilizing the KOH or equivalent chemicals.
Another variation is to have the two chemicals in the two tanks mixed before being applied to the surfaces of wafers. This could be done by joining the delivery tubes or by having an intermediate tank where the chemicals are then mixed
Similarly, it is noted that, although the invention describes the use of two timing periods with the use or non use of KOH distinguishing the two periods, it is obvious to vary the timing periods to be multiple periods. With multiple periods, varying amounts of KOH, or its equivalents, can be applied over the various periods. This could allow the use of several concentrations of KOH to regulate the varying rates of material removal and planarization achievable.
While the invention has been taught with specific reference to one embodiment, someone skilled in the art will recognize that changes can be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description. All changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.
Although subheadings in the Detailed Description of the Illustrated Embodiment are used, these are merely provided for assisting the reader; wherein, the writer is free to enter any information under any heading/s.

It may have just stuck after not being moved for a while, but I would lay odds on burned switch contacts.
If you are mechanically handy, pull the control panel section on top apart, and check to see if the bimetallic has given up the ghost ( unlikely) or if the small limit switch actuated by the bimetallic popping at the set temp is the failed part.
The heaters are a pretty big load with a heavy draw when they first fire from being cold.
Oer time the contacts can arc on break and then the silver plating can wear away. Then the underneath copper or brass is susceptible to fusing on the break arc.

PRLog - May 8, 2012 - RALEIGH, N.C. -- Raleigh, NC: On May 19th Women's Power Networking will present their fourth annual business expo. This year, the day-long Business Alliance Rally 2012, will take place from 10am – 5pm at the McKimmon Center located at 1101 Gorman Street on the NCSU campus in Raleigh. A portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit Alzheimer's Association - Eastern North Carolina.
Lady Tree Dancer by Stefan Duncan is raffle prize at Business Alliance Rally
"Stefan Duncan [http://stefanduncan.com/]
Having sold roughly 1000 original paintings, Duncan is internationally known for his impressionistic styles of 'Squiggleism' and 'Illuminism'.
The 30" x 48" acrylic artwork Lady Tree Dancer is painted in his unique style of Squiggleism. Duncan says, "Squiggleism is a new branch of Impressionism. It is an impressionistic dash with a twist or curl, usually unblended, and applied side by side or layered. A squiggle to squiggleism is like a point to pointillism."
Leslie Flowers, Rally committee member said, "We are excited and honored that Stefan has donated such a fabulous work of art for our raffle. And doubly thrilled he will have a selection of his pieces for sale and be at his easel painting during the event."
Designed to be part expo and part business education event, the Rally accomplishes both by providing a spacious exhibitor floor along with 12 Spotlight Speakers leading breakout sessions, and a "Meet the Media" Luncheon.
Marilyn Shannon, co-founder of Women's Power Networking added, "The Business Alliance Rally is intended for everyone. It provides a chance for businesses to network with one another, sell their products and services, learn how to be more successful, and expand their alliances; fulfilling the promise of Women's Power Networking: "Alliances for Business–Alliances for Life."

McKenzie: Coyotes sale saga to come to a head in 2012
Oct 17, 2011, 10:22 PM EDT
It's about that time of year when discussion of what's going to happen with the sale of the Phoenix Coyotes pops up and right on cue, TSN's Bob McKenzie has details on just what's coming up for the team and their forever-in-limbo status in the desert.
McKenzie says that the NHL will soon throw their support behind either former Sharks president Greg Jamison or former Coyotes interested party in purchasing the team, Jerry Reinsdorf. Reinsdorf is a favorite of the Gary Bettman and of the Glendale City Council. Apparently owning the Chicago White Sox and running the Chicago Bulls looks good on a résumé.
More importantly in all this, McKenzie notes that if a deal can't be worked out in 2012 with either Jamison or Reinsdorf, the NHL's hands will be forced and they'll have to open up the bidding to anyone willing to buy the moribund team. If that happens, it could lead to the Coyotes being relocated.
One way or another, an end game appears to be at hand for the Coyotes. The NHL doesn't want to eat the losses for the team and having the City of Glendale continue to put up their own money to help stem those losses is not a long-term or short-term option anymore. If Jamison or Reinsdorf can't get a deal together that works for the city and keeps the Goldwater Institute out of the process, the Coyotes are going to be on their way out of the desert.

7k fans in the stands the other day against the Kings. Almost anywhere deserves this team more than Glendale right now. This really has to affect the realignment talk. I mean do you move Detroit to CBJ to the East announce it in Dec. or early January and then the Coyotes move East so "Sorry Det/CBJ you're not going."

During the school year, many students rely on their schools for nutritious meals. When school is out, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Summer Food Service Program helps low-income children get the nourishment they need.
A survey commissioned by the Iowa Reading Research Center and conducted by Iowa's regent universities shows a lack of consistency statewide in optional summer reading programs for children offered by school districts and community organizations.

Faux-brick floors, a shimmering water wall, a tank swarming with hundreds of colorful fish, and two open kitchens welcome you into Michael Mina's dynamic, über-hip restaurant specializing in simple but sensational seafood. The emphasis is on wood-grilled dishes with Mediterranean-inspired preparations, and the fish is flown in from all over the world—pink dorade from Senegal, striped bass from Nantucket, barramundi from Australia. You might start off with the lobster bisque with tarragon oil, or the fried lobster corn dogs served with whole-grain mustard. Moroccan-style tagines are a specialty here, as well—consider the one with Atlantic cod, almonds, couscous, lemon broth, and artichokes. There's an inspired list of desserts, including a chocolate molten cake.

This restaurant came highly recommended by some and since we love seafood, we decided on Sea Blue for dinner while we were in Las Vegas. It was a big disappointment. Despite having made reservations far in advance, we were seated in the bar area, rather than the main dining area. This is a very expensive restaurant (over $200 for two with no wine) and it is not worth the money. We both had salads which were ok but nothing special and cost $14
each. I ordered the tuna medium rare and it came mostly raw, which I didn't send back since I eat raw fish without a problem. But all Sea Blue's fish is served with nothing on it - no sauce or any interesting preparation. It is grilled, supposedly over a wood fire but had no wood taste, with a minute amount of olive oil and parsley. It really had no flavor and I could do this at home on the grill for a lot less than the $41 they charged. My husband had the paella which he thought it was pretty good but not outstanding. The wine list is very expensive - we didn't see anything for less than $48. If there is a chef here with any imagination, they are keeping him well hidden. Altogether a big, boring disappointment.

Using Video Reporting as a Communications Modality for Federal Evaluation Reports
Horsman, Maurine E.
MetadataShow full item record
The Problem. The problem studied was how the recipient of a training grant such as the Drake Rehabilitation Placement Specialist Program can best report its goals, activities, and achievements to a sponsoring federal agency. Traditionally, final reports have been made in writing. The study focused on whether a video reporting system could effectively convey both cognitive and affective information. Procedure. A video reporting system was designed to serve the purposes of government reports. A video report about the Drake Placement Program using this design was produced. A second version combining the video report with a written summary was developed. The effectiveness of these experimental models was compared with that of the written report prepared by the program administrators. The participants in the study were thirty rehabilitation specialists from five rehabilitation state agencies involved in the assessment and funding of government grants. From this sample, three groups of ten were randomly selected. Group I viewed the video tape, Group II read the written report, and Group III viewed the video tape and read a summary report. A test was designed to determine the level of a viewer's cognitive understanding of the program. A second instrument was designed to identify viewer attitudes toward the program. Subjects were pre-tested, presented one reporting model and given post-tests on cognitive understandings and attitudinal concepts. Findings. Two analyses of variance were conducted. The first compared the mean changes of the three groups on the cognitive test. The null hypothesis, that there are no differences in comprehension of the project when presented in written form only, in video form only, or in a combination of video presentation and written summary, was accepted. The second hypothesis, that there are no differences in a reviewer's attitude toward a project when the report is presented in written form only, in video format only, or in a combination of video report and written summary, was rejected at the .05 level. A further comparison of scores, using the t-test, between the attitudinal test for the written and the video/summary revealed no significant difference. A comparison of the attitudinal test for the written and video only was significant at the .05 level in favor of the video presentation using the t-test. The grant evaluators participating in the study were asked to make a professional judgment regarding the continuance or discontinuance of the program presented. In 40% of the cases those reading the written report recommended that the program be discontinued. Those reading the summary and seeing the video report responded negatively in 10% of the cases. None of those seeing only the video report voted to discontinue the program. Conclusions. The cognitive material of a report can be communicated equally well in video format, in written format, or in a combination of the two. However, the study's findings suggest that a video report will be more effective that a written report in changing attitudes or opinions. The feasibility of a video reporting format hinges on the availability of production funds, access to video equipment and technical assistance. Advances in television technology together with a growing consumer market have established a trend toward lower cost and simplified operation. Government applications are increasing as a result. The findings indicate that a video report can influence an evaluator's opinion of a program. It was the consensus among the rehabilitation grant reviewers participating in the study that the video presentation provided a more affective understanding of a program than the traditional reporting system. However, they identified the need to include more hard date and critical assessments.

WikiLeaks and its larger-than-life founder Julian Assange have always seemed destined to become Hollywood fodder. Now a trailer for the first WikiLeaks feature film is out–And WikiLeaks is not pleased.
A first look at the Dreamworks film "The Fifth Estate" is shown in the trailer above, which was released Tuesday night and points to an October release for the film.
WikiLeaks criticized the film in a Twitter post almost immediately after the trailer was publicized. "'The Fifth Estate' trailer has just been released," it wrote. "Don't be fooled. It implies we gave Iran nukes and killed 2,000."
Assange has previously said that WikiLeaks obtained a script for the film, which was penned by West Wing writer Josh Singer, and told students at an Oxford University event that it included scenes inside an Iranian military complex and showed an Iranian source meeting with a US agent before being put in danger when his name is published in a WikiLeaks release. No such events are known to have occurred, and Assange called the film a "massive propaganda attack" on his organization.
Tuesday night's trailer showed none of that Iranian material, and the film's director Bill Condon has said that the scenes in question have been removed from the script. But WikiLeaks tweeted that "Our comments are based on the script used during filming, not, as the [director] Bill Condon falsely states, an old script. (though we have them too)."
The trailer does seem to be a greatest-hits collection of WikiLeaks most controversial moments, as well as its greatest successes. It begins with the site's release of the Apache helicopter video Collateral Murder, but jumps right into the Pentagon's and State Department's criticisms of the Afghan and Iraq War Logs and Cablegate release, implying that WikiLeaks put soldiers and State Department sources at risk.
It also digs up one of the darker chapters of WikiLeaks' early days, appearing to show the murder of two Kenyan activists who served as WikiLeaks sources. Oscar Kamau Kingara and John Paul Oulo of the Oscar Foundation were killed by gunman in their car in Nairobi in 2009 after giving WikiLeaks documents related to indiscriminate police murders of alleged members of an organized crime group known as the Mungiki. Unlike other sources such as Bradley Manning, their leaks were no secret–the Oscar Foundation had presented its work in public, including at the Kenyan Parliament.
The film is based in part on the book Inside WikiLeaks, a tell-all account by Daniel Domscheit-Berg, a German WikiLeaks spokesperson who broke with Assange in a messy 2010 divorce that left the project crippled. The stories surrounding that split–like the memories of his murdered Kenyan allies–are ones that Assange would likely rather not revisit.

Originally written on The Cardinal Nation blog | Last updated 1/18/13
First, we looked at the top 20 stories affecting the St. Louis Cardinals this past year. Not surprisingly, the list was headlined by the post-season run by the club, along with the recognition of fine individual seasons put together by Yadier Molina and Kyle Lohse. Now it is time for my annual predictions for the top story lines of this New Year, as well. As is customary, I will set aside the easiest and most logical entry – the results of the 2013 team on the field. The nature of that story has yet to be determined, shaped by the items discussed here and many more plotlines not yet developed. As I compiled my list and rankings, I considered the staying power of the story, how long it might remain in the headlines as well as its potential short- and long-term impact – on the 2013 Cardinals and the organization's future. Without further ado, here are my projected top five St. Louis Cardinals stories of 2013. As always, your comments are welcome below. 1. Wainwright's contract The C...

Nowadays, any cream which claims to lighten your skin tone is much in demand. This is because even today, whatever is said, a fairer person is always preferred to a dusky one. Thus there are so many companies bringing out so many creams which claim to reduce the tone or color of your skin by many degrees. These companies usually take responsibility for their own products and even give money back offers in case the cream produced by them shows no result or unsatisfactory result. So the satisfactory result which is expected of a Skin lightening cream like this is as follows
The main purpose
The main purpose of a Skin lightening cream is to reduce the tone or color of your skin. This gives your skin a glow and radiance. It takes away from the skin the dullness caused by over exposure to the sun and pollution. This will ultimately make you look much more beautiful and younger too. It is absolutely safe and does not cause any harm to your skin. Thus this is one of the basic benefits of this type of a cream. It is one of the reasons why most people rush to buy these creams from retailers.

WALLA WALLA — Walla Walla Community College tied NWAACC Eastern Region rival Spokane for second place in a 10-team field during the annual WWCC volleyball invitational that wrapped up Saturday at the Dietrich Dome.
The Warriors recorded a 4-1 record in the two-day invite to improve to 9-3 on the year.
Another one of Walla Walla's East Region foes, Blue Mountain, claimed the invitational team title with a perfect 5-0 mark.
The Warriors opened play on Friday with three wins against NWAACC South opponents. WWCC defeated Chemeketa, 18-25, 25-18, 15-10 before sweeping Umpqua, 25-19, 25-21, and Clackamas, 27-25, 25-18.
On Saturday, Walla Walla defeated Linn-Benton, 25-21, 25-16, and lost to Mt. Hood, 25-20, 18-25, 15-11.
"The tournament highlight was probably our match against Linn-Benton," WWCC coach Tim Toon said. "This is the third time we have played them already in this young season. The previous two matches were tight, five-game thrillers. We handled them with ease at this event. I think it shows how much we have improved in a short period of time.
"The way the match ended against Mt. Hood was the only downer this weekend," Toon said. "We were ahead by a couple of points and gave away a six-point streak. That should NEVER happen in collegiate volleyball. We will learn from our lapse and take measures to prevent another meltdown."
The Warriors place three athletes on the all-tournament team — Desiree Nielson, Reese Amy, and Courtney Cosdon.
"Desiree came alive this weekend and dominated in the middle," Toon said. "Desiree was an offensive machine and blocked well also. Reese was energetic with a lot of quality touches on the ball. Our offense and transition game is picking up speed and Courntey is a big part of that improvement.
"I wish I could make a comment about every player on the team," Toon said. "We had solid contributions from 12 players. Each had shining moments throughout the weekend. I am very pleased with the result and proud of all the hard work our players have put in to establish themselves as one of the elite teams in the NWAACC.
WWCC returns to league play on Thursday when it hosts Treasure Valley at 2 p.m.

LAWRENCEVILLE - A Virginia-based law enforcement accreditation agency began its assessment of the Gwinnett County Police Department this weekend.A team from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies arrived in Gwinnett on Saturday to examine the department's policy and procedures, management, operations and support services as part of a routine procedure for law enforcement agencies. "They will come in and make sure we're up to standards," Gwinnett County Police Department spokeswoman Cpl. Illana Spellman said. "They will do a tour and fill out a form on the department." According to the CALEA Web site, the agency's purpose is to improve the delivery of public safety services and recognize excellence. Spellman said CALEA assessors visit every three years to reassess the department's operations and to make sure it's up to the agency's standards. The agency's team will tour the department's Eastside Precinct, training center and headquarters. Spellman said assessors began their rounds Saturday and will finish Wednesday. The public will have a chance to enter comments beginning at 7 p.m. Monday during a community information session in conference room C of the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center located at 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville. Those who can not attend the session in person can submit comments from 1 to 5 p.m. Monday by calling 770-513-5885 or 770-513-5886. According to a Police Department press release, telephone and in-person comments will be limited to 10 minutes and must address the agency's ability to comply with CALEA standards. A copy of the standards is available at Police Department headquarters located at 770 Hi Hope Drive in Lawrenceville of by calling 770-513-5241. Spellman said the department has maintained accreditation since 1993 and said CALEA will be looking for the Police Department to meet a minimum of 80 percent of the agency's standards to meet accreditation. "Other that just nuts and bolts, they're looking to make sure everything is going smoothly," Spellman said. In order to prepare for the few days of scrutiny, Spellman said the Gwinnett Police Departments will mainly continue work as usual. "There's nothing really different for the most part," Spellman said. "We'll make sure we have the proper paperwork in line and that we have current information for the department at hand." SideBar: If you go What: CALEA community information session When: 7 p.m. Monday Where: Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center, 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville.

Corman has Sundance debut with 'Virtually Heroes'
PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Roger Corman has been to the Cannes and Venice film festivals. But for some reason, the independent filmmaker with nearly 400 movies to his credit has missed the Sundance Film Festival — until now.
The video-game tale "Virtually Heroes" is the first Corman production to premiere at the indie-cinema showcase, appropriately playing in Sundance's midnight-movie program of way-out horror, comedy and action.
True to Corman's low-budget approach, "Virtually Heroes" was made for less than $500,000 by blending combat footage from the producer's previous Vietnam war movies with a new story about two self-aware video-game characters battling the Vietcong.
Corman's films usually are considered schlock. But he felt director G.J. Echternkamp had come up with a clever twist that made "Virtually Heroes" right for Sundance. So he contacted festival officials, who agreed.

I am six weeks pregnant with no symptoms, is this normal?
I have had a blood pregnancy test that came back positive. I am six weeks pregnant (starting from the first day of my last period) and have had no noticeable symptoms. I don't have my first Dr.'s appt until I'm 10 weeks. The only thing I have noticed is peeing alot (but that's b/c I have been trying to drink lots of water) and I wake up every morning with this nervous/anxious feeling. I also haven't had much of an appetite. I'm really worried that I am not really pregnant b/c I haven't had symptoms yet. I feel like I'm driving myself crazy worrying about it. Is there anyone else out there like me??

If you're period was light and late and you had brown blood it could have been implantation bleeding. I would say if you haven't started you're actual period soon take a test in a week or so. It's definitely possible.posted 12/25/2012 by sunshinebabe1678

I have 2 girls and with both of them I was constantly nauseous and had to take a pill to help me from throwing up all the time. And this pregnancy I don't really have any at all. A few random spells but that's it. I'm freaked out.posted 12/05/2012 by sunshinebabe1678

I went to art school on the east coast, grad school for creative writing in the midwest and then moved to SF where I've been ever since.
