Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments, compiled by editors of HealthDay:
Do Stem Cells Play a Prime Role in Cancer?
Cancerous stem cells are the focus of a preliminary study that will be launched within the next few months by scientists at three U.S. medical centers: the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
Some experts believe that cancerous stem cells play a major role in maintaining and propagating malignant tumors, while others disagree, The New York Times reported.
The cancerous stem cell hypothesis is closer to religion than science and proponents are so attached to the idea that they dismiss or ignore evidence against it, says Dr. Scott E. Kern, a leading pancreatic cancer researcher at Johns Hopkins University.
But others say that developing new drugs that target cancerous stem cells may provide a treatment breakthrough.
"Within the next year, we will see medical centers targeting stem cells in almost every cancer," Dr. Max S. Wicha, director of the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, told the Times. "We are so excited about his. It has become a major thrust of our cancer center."
The U.S. National Cancer Institute will provide $5.4 million in funding for cancer stem cell studies.
"If this is real, it could have almost immediate impact," Dr. R. Allan Mufson, chief of the institute's Cancer Immunology and Hematology Branch, told the Times.
Wii Sports Games Do Little to Prevent Weight Gain: Study
There's no evidence that Nintendo's Wii sports games can help prevent weight gain in children, according to researchers at Liverpool John Moores University in England.
Using a wireless controller, Wii users move their bodies while playing games such as bowling, boxing and tennis. While many people believe this helps burn calories, this study found only a minimal effect, Agence France-Presse reported.
The researchers monitored energy expenditure in six boys and five girls, ages 13 to 15, while they played the Wii games and conventional, sedentary video games. The study found that the children used 51 percent more energy while playing the Wii sports games compared to the sedentary games.
However, the children burned only 60 calories per hour (about one-quarter of a Mars bar) while playing the Wii sports games, AFP reported.
"In a typical week of computer play for these participants, active gaming rather than passive gaming would increase total energy expenditure by less than two percent," the study authors wrote in the British Medical Journal.
Moving Child From Orphanage to Foster Home Boosts IQ
A study of Romanian children found dramatic improvements in IQ once youngsters were removed from orphanages and placed in foster care instead.
The study, led by Dr. Charles Nelson III of Harvard Medical School, involved 136 young children from Bucharest's six orphanages. The children were randomly assigned to continue living in the orphanage or be moved into the new state-run foster care system.

Russell Eick
( May 19, 2014 )
Durham's Russell Eick, Recipient Of 5 Bronze StarsBy Alaine Griffin, email@example.com | Hartford Courant
It was the summer of 1945. Nazi Germany had just surrendered and the fighting in Europe had ended.

Russell Eick, an American soldier fresh off the battlefields, was still in Europe but his mind was back in his Connecticut hometown, thinking about his family and what pleasures the month of June brought to rural Durham.
"By the way, how is the garden this year, or haven't you one?" Eick asked his mother, Helen, in a June 6, 1945, letter he wrote from France. "It sure would be nice to be there now as I guess the things should be ready to eat. And the strawberries ought to be ripe for a nice strawberry shortcake. It sure has been quite some time since I had any."
Three years before, Eick was drafted into the Army at age 20. He quickly built up an impressive battle resume on the front lines of the 486th Armored Anti-Aircraft Battalion, an attached unit of the 3rd Armored "Spearhead" Division.
He went through five battle campaigns, including the Battle of the Bulge and the invasion of Normandy, and earned five Bronze Stars.
His battalion was the first allied anti-aircraft unit to enter Germany in World War II, and the first to shoot down a German enemy aircraft.
As a main gunner on an armored vehicle known as an M16 halftrack that the crew named nicknamed "Hell's Bell's," Eick would unleash thousands of rounds from .50-caliber machine guns at the enemy, traveling over all terrains at speeds of up to 45 mph. The incessant gunfire, blasting just inches from his ears, later impaired his hearing.
"He was credited with the first enemy plane shot down in Germany," Eick's son, Randall Eick, 62, of Middletown, said in a recent interview.
The website, 3ad.com, which documents the history of the 3rd Armored Division, recalls the event: "On September 18th, 1944, a small flight of enemy planes attacked the 67th Armored Field Artillery positions southeast of Brand, Germany. Cpl. Stanley Zyza's crew, with Tec 5 Russ Eick as the main gunner, opened up as one plane broke through the clouds. Eick's aim with the quad-.50 's proved dead on, as the FW-190 fighter-bomber, with smoke pouring from the motor, took a sharp dive, crashed and burned, killing the pilot."
The younger Eick still marvels at what it must have been like for his father, one of nine children, to have left the family farm so young for war in places he had only read about in books.
"You could imagine his shock from going from a farming, country town like Durham, right into the war," Eick said. "You get pulled out of a farming town and plopped over in France and Belgium and they say, 'Here's your gun. We'll give you some training. Go get 'em."
Russell Eick lived to be 90 years old, longevity that brought with it seven decades of World War II remembrances. He died in October 2012.
Sometimes Eick's four children could get him to open up and tell his war stories. Other times, he would not share the horrors he witnessed abroad, events that caused flashbacks, night sweats and post-traumatic-stress disorder.
"He was 90 and he still had nightmares," Randall Eick said. "You do what you have to do when you're in the war but it's still human beings you're shooting at and killing. He had a tough time with that."
When he did talk, Eick's stories were incredible. His children were especially moved by their father's experiences in the Battle of the Bulge, when Eick and his comrades fought through one of the worst winters in Belgium's history.
"They were advancing so fast that they couldn't keep the winter gear with them," Randall Eick said. "They couldn't get the jackets to them so they were out in the elements without any winter clothing on. So it was amazing they made it, to be honest with you."
Eick's memories of the D-Day invasion by Allied forces that began at Normandy on June 6, 1944, were painful for him to recall. When the war movie, "Saving Private Ryan," came out in 1998, Eick asked his father if the intense and graphic opening scene of troops landing at Omaha Beach was realistic.
"He said it was pretty much dead on," Eick said. "He said, 'You would see a guy next to you and his limbs would just disappear.' It was horrific."
Eick's battalion also liberated four concentration camps and prisoner-of-war camps. In an interview with a local newspaper years ago, Eick recalled liberating one of the camps."There were bodies all over and living people too weak to stand," Eick told the newspaper. "[Gen. George] Patton himself was called to see and got physically ill."
Randall Eick said his father's memories of the concentration camps never left him.
"Seeing those places left a lasting impression on him, that humanity was just totally disregarded like that and beat down," Randall Eick said. "He just couldn't understand how human beings could do that to other human beings."
In a Nov. 9, 1990, article in the The Shopper News & Gazette of Durham, which has ceased publication, Eick said he tried not to remember what he saw at the camps for fear it would trigger nightmares. But he added, "Freeing the people in those camps made the war worthwhile. It made everything we had gone through worth it."
For Eick, those weren't just words. When he returned home to Durham to raise his family while working as a master carpenter, Eick worked to keep alive the memories and service of his fellow soldiers and educated residents there about America's vital role in the war.
He would lay wreathes at veterans' funerals throughout the state, speak at Memorial Day events, raise funds for wounded soldiers and go to group counseling at the veterans' hospital. Eick was known as a war hero, serving as grand marshal of the Memorial Day parade in 2002.
Eick went to Europe in 1995 to mark the 50th anniversary of the end of the war. He reunited with Europeans he had met decades before and visited battle sites and museums at the sites where concentrations camps once stood.
The trip also gave him the chance to meet up with members of his battalion, the men he became fast friends with as they shared gunfights and kept watch while a comrade slept between battles. To Eick, those friendships, his son said, were precious gifts.
"He made many friends while he was over there and lost many of them," Eick said. "Those were some of the best friendships he ever had."
Because like Eick, many of them were young men fresh out of small, sometimes rural, hometowns like Durham.
"Early on, he learned to depend on these people for his life," Eick said. "And at 20 years old, that's really something."

Thief on loose after Sugar Land store heist
By Dale Lezon | September 4, 2014
Police are searching for a suspect they say robbed a food store in Sugar Land at gunpoint last month.
The heist happened on Aug. 30 at Awami Markaz at 1730 Williams Trace Boulevard, according to the Sugar Land Police Department.
Police said the store owner told investigators he was in a back room when he saw a man who was wearing a white mask walk into the store. The man pulled out a gun and demanded money. A customer went behind the counter to open the cash register, but was unable to open it.
When the suspect heard the store owner coming out of the back room, he grabbed some costume jewelry and dashed outside.
The suspect is described as being Hispanic or black. He was between about 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall. He wore a black shirt and black pants. He spoke both English and Spanish during the robbery.
A nearby surveillance camera caught images of the man as he ran from the store.
Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact the Sugar Land Police Department at 281 275-2540 or Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers at 281 342-TIPS (8477).

|"The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" is the second of the seven volume book "The Chronicles of Narnia", written by the late Clive Staples Lewis. The book is set in England during the Second World War, and introduces 4 children that are sent away for their own protection. The children eventually find a wardrobe that links their new home to a world of fantasy, populated by strange and fascinating creatures.
The movie adaptation of the book hit the theaters last Christmas. Bringing a monumental adventure like Chronicles of Narnia to the big screen is no easy thing. It requires a lot of work, not only on the directing side but also on the visual effects. The filmmakers hired different Visual Effects companies to take on the wide variety of effects that needed to be done. One of those companies was Studio C, a VFX studio located in Guatemala.
Latin-American studios don�t usually work on major feature films. So you may guess that a studio from Guatemala working on such a big project like Chronicles of Narnia is a really big deal, especially for Latin-Americans. Due to the volume of the interview, I decided to split it in two parts. You will be able to read part two of the interview next week on the front page.
Tobias Cortes: compositing and editing supervisor.
Marvin Barillas: 3D supervisor.
Lily Vasquez: 3D animator.
Ludwing Paniagua: Matte painting supervisor.
What are Studio C's beginnings? How did you come up with the original concept and what was your objective?
Tobias Cortes: Carlos moved to Antigua, and one day (according to what people say) he met Marvin the day that he almost ran over him! They also met Ludwing and together they began working on some design and visualization. Carlos saw the other two guys could create really good work so he ventured to get projects from North America and that�s how they began.
How it began and what was the objective? Carlos always says that he has always wanted to bring us the opportunities he didn�t have, and that going out of the country in search of job opportunities will become more like an option, not an obligation.
Marvin Barillas: I think the objective was to give anybody the opportunity to enter the digital world.
Ludwing Paniagua: Studio C opened its doors thanks to Carlos Arg�ello. He realized that in our country there were talented people that were interested in this industry but didn�t find any job opportunities.
This was originally a publicity agency born from a project about national identity. The project was done by the Mesoamerican Center of Regional Research (CIRMA), based in Antigua, Guatemala. A group of four people was made to work on a multimedia presentation (using flash, music, video and 3D), and then Carlos� vision was to make the company bigger so we could work on films.
I�ve seen your portfolio on your website. What kind of work do you do to get the job done?
Tobias Cortes: Well, the idea is born and then it�s toned down to make it possible to create. It�s sent to the postproduction people so they can split the workload and provide basic information. We then make some proof of concepts in every area. The graphics department makes their sketches, the 2D department makes animations, 3D makes 3D animations or models, compositors make color tests and other stuff, and editing makes animatics, timing, and rhythm tests. Different revisions of the elements are made so we are able to tell the story based on those elements.
Marvin Barillas: We do everything from concept design, digital effects, matte painting, compositing, video editing, audio design, and audio editing.
Ludwing Paniagua: Like everything else, we work on the concept designs, then we move on to modeling and animation. Then we do the compositing and visual effects, if they are needed.
Can you talk a little about the effects that you created for the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia"?
Tobias Cortes: I worked on the breathing compositing. With the animators, we defined how the breathing would behave according to syllables, mouth shape, head movement, and so on. After making the 3D animation of the breathing it was sent to compositing where that breathing is animated again in 2D. We did color correction, opacity tweaking, rotoscoping and all that, to make the scene look as real as possible.
I also worked with 4 other people, including Gary Jackemuk (compositor) and Michael Loyd (matte painter) on a scene where a period train was filmed on a real location (a modern train station). That location had to be replaced using a dark background with shattered buildings, which had to depict the time where the movie took place. We made matte paintings and 3D elements and then we took those and put them behind the train, replacing the original background. We did color correction and even color corrected our live-action smoke, and blended it with computer generated smoke.
Lily Vasquez: The effects that we made were the Cair Paravel castle, concepts for the castle interior, the map scene, the river sequence, and the breathing sequences. Each of these was sent to the appropriate groups. Some scenes were made using matte paintings, while others were done in 3D, such as the breathing sequences. We used camera tracking to make the breath come out of their mouths, and then we would add gravity and wind to make it feel real.
Marvin Barillas: We made more than 350 shots divided in 3 categories:
1. Breath: We digitally added the breath to the characters when they were in cold environments. This was a very technical effect because we had to realistically simulate the character�s breathing.
2. River: For the river sequence we ran water simulations, animated ice chunks, and we digitally painted all the backgrounds.
3. Hero shots: We did around 10 hero shots, like those of the Lion�s exterior shots and the witch�s castle interior. We also made the map scene, which was completely digital. These 10 shots consumed a lot of our time because we had to create everything from scratch.
Ludwing Paniagua: For Chronicles of Narnia we first created the concepts for the witch�s castle interior. We used 3D models under different texture and light conditions. Then we worked on Aslan�s castle, for which we did the 3D models, textures, and camera movements. We also worked on the scenes that needed digital breath simulations, using camera tracking and particle systems that were then married to the live action footage.
For the river sequence, we used everything from matte paintings, rotoscoping, chroma key, camera tracking,
color correction, 3D ice pieces and their interaction with the water (textures, lighting, shading, and so on).
For some other scenes we just used matte paintings and digital compositing.
Can you give us a little inside information on the Project titled "Pendragon"?
Tobias Cortes: That�s a project being developed in conjunction with other people from the production department, but we don�t have any actual information because it�s not yet in the production stage. When the project is in production we will be able to give you any information you may want.
Marvin Barillas: That�s a work in progress. We can�t give out any information yet.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Alex Brownsell, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Friday, 15 March 2013 04:00PM
The TV and cinema campaign, created by JWT London, sees the brand adopt the strapline "This is pudding". The clip shows custard being poured over puddings, with the aim of conveying that adding custard is a "little expression of care". The campaign launches today (15 March).
Ambrosia Custard had previously run Westcountry-themed advertising, using the line "Devon knows how they make it so creamy".
Claire Harrison-Church, category business unit director, at Premier Foods, said: "Though they've always been loved, traditional British puddings are back in vogue, making this the perfect time for Ambrosia to prove its relevance. The aim of the campaign is to reawaken an emotional connection with Ambrosia by making it relevant to today's modern family."
Tracey Follows, chief strategy officer and executive partner at JWT London, added: "This work comes from our deep understanding of what comfort food is to the modern family and recognition that Ambrosia is what makes a pudding. Why settle for dessert when you can enjoy pudding."
In 2012, Ambrosia was earmarked as one of Premier Foods' eight "power brands" receiving the bulk of marketing support, including Oxo, Mr Kipling and Hovis.Follow @alex_brownsell

Producer Ratan Jain, who is keen to start "Khiladi 2" shooting, liked Vidyut Jamwal's work in "Bullett Raja", but says he hasn't finalised anyone yet for the title role in the sequel to Akshay Kumar 1992 starrer hit movie.
"I have seen Vidyut's work in 'Bullett Raja'. He is good. We have not zeroed down upon anyone for the film yet. We just don't need an action hero, but he should also be fine with music, humour and everything," said Jain.
"I have two to three actors in my mind but its too early to discuss about it. He must fit the bill so I can't say whether he will be part of it or not but lets see," he added.
Produced by Ratan's brother Ganesh Jain and directed by Abbas-Mustan, "Khiladi" success marked a turning point in Akshay's career.
Jain said there will be two important characters in the sequel.
"We will have two characters in the film and we are in search of the right ones," he said.

Look I have nothing against head high kicks. When sparring in Kyokushin, I use them where I can. Why ? Because it's striking rules only. I'm sceptical as to if you have ever fought a good grappler. Punch/ elbows/ knees/ low-mid high kicks are fine. Other than that its just grappling all the way.Hannibal: The sworn enemy of dishonest politicians, source of entertainment on Bullshido and newly appointed Office Linebacker.

I think when you mean usefull, you mean to have the the highest oppurtunity to deliver an attack.
High kicks aren't as verstile as many other moves such as punching. When your talking about self-defense your going to rely on whatever the hell you trained the most, primarly because when the **** hits the fan you don't know what the hell you might pull out.
Also low kicks > high kicks

The thread title is all about are they useful. To some extent yes, but there is other stuff which is MORE useful.

My mother has Alzheimer's and has lived with us for 8 yrs. 2 capsules a day morning and night of Lumina helps her mind worki more than it would on doctor med's alone. I stopped using it for a while and learned she needed it. Organic coconut oil (not processed) a tsp to tablespoon a day also helps her brain work better. I put the coconut oil in her food or I just give it to her on a spoon. The sundowners affect is reduced. She is in the latest stages of Alzheimer's, but still knows us most of the time.

The controversial play occurred on an interception return by DeAndre Levy for a "touchdown" until it was taken back from an illegal low block by Suh.ô The NFL fined Suh $30K last season for unnecessary roughness because he kicked Matt Schaub in the groin area and was suspended 2 games for his notorious stomping on Thanksgiving 2011. Suh apologized to the team and to Sullivan at half saying,"I spoke to him. We're good, so that's all that matters." Ndamukong Suh had been regarded as one of the nastiest players in football for his unique and physical style, and the more piling up of fines he receives, the worse it'll make him look.

MILTON-FREEWATER — La Grande steamrolled Mac-Hi Tuesday night in a Greater Oregon League volleyball match, defeating the Pioneers in three sets: 25-6, 25-15 and 25-12.
Mac-Hi coach Kaila Rodighiero credited La Grande with an excellent match.
"The score shows a really hard loss, but the girls were OK with it and so am I," Rodighiero wrote in an e-mail. "I would have loved for some points to go our way but my girls battled against an extremely good volleyball team."
Avery Wells posted five kills to lead the Pioneers in the loss, with Megan Reed and Jessica Dodd each adding three more.
Cheyenne Kessler went 10-for-10 in service.
"Our offensive game doesn't show on paper, but we were aggressive," Rodighiero said. "La Grande just defended their side very well.
"La Grande deserves much respect in their squad, and their offense is amazing. We had to play defense the best we could, and we did."
Mac-Hi (3-5, 1-2 GOL) visits GOL foe Baker Thursday at 6 p.m.

What You Can Expect
When you're done viewing the city from above, see it from ground level by joining your guide on an open-top bus tour of Midtown. Pass New York Public Library, Bryant Park, Times Square and many other well-known sites before arriving at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, home to the Space Shuttle Enterprise.
Following a journey to New York by 747 jumbo jet and river barge, the space shuttle went on display in July 2012 inside a special pavilion that celebrates its rich history and offers an innovative and interactive visitor experience. Your guide will lead you to the front of the line before the exhibition opens so you can go straight in with your skip-the-line ticket for maximum time to view this thrilling new exhibition that showcases science, technology and engineering. Bonus: You can also explore the USS Intrepid, an aircraft carrier housed at the museum.
Next, board a hop-on-hop-off cruise with your guide at Pier 79. Hop off at Battery Park, where you'll take a walking tour through the world-famous financial center of Wall Street on your way to the 9/11 Memorial. See the twin reflecting pools, inscribed with the names of the nearly 3,000 victims of the terrorist attacks, that sit exactly where the Twin Towers once stood.
Inside the memorial, the guided portion of your tour ends at approximately 1pm. Upgrade for 2pm admission to the National September 11 Memorial Museum (aka the 9/11 Museum) when you book for a chance to browse the many multimedia displays, archives, narratives and authentic artifacts that commemorate the September 11 victims and their families. (See Important Info for pricing and other details.)
If you choose the tour-only option, you can then continue your sightseeing independently with a hop-on-hop-off cruise at your leisure; your ticket is valid for the rest of the day. If the museum option is selected, your cruise ticket is valid for the rest of the afternoon and the entire next day, giving you plenty of time to discover New York's waterfront sights.
The cruise makes two more stops at historic South Street Seaport and the Fulton Ferry landing in Brooklyn for a leisurely cruise to enjoy views of the Statue of Liberty and time to reflect on your VIP tour of New York City.
Viator VIPs feature travel experiences not typically available to the general public — from behind-the-scenes access to private viewings and VIP service — at many of the world's top attractions, often with no lines and no crowds. Viator VIP tours are not available from other 3rd-party online sellers.

Palestinian rockets will hit Tel Aviv in any future conflict in the Gaza Strip, Israel's civil defense minister said.
Matan Vilnai, opening an international missile-defense conference outside Israel's biggest city, said Monday that guerrilla enemies such as Hamas and Hezbollah were racing to improve the reach of their rockets.
"In the next conflict with Gaza, even if it at a much lower intensity than a war, missiles will fall on Gush Dan—for all purposes, inside Tel Aviv," Vilnai said.
He outlined Israel's counter-measures, which include missile interceptors, civilian bomb shelters and a deterrent posture signaling readiness to retaliate hard for attacks on the homefront.
Yet Israel remained challenged by its geographical smallness and multiplicity of foes, Vilnai said.
"There is no country in the world that is threatened like the State of Israel," he said. "The only country that approximates it is South Korea."

Wicks Law is designed to keep the bidding process fair and protect workers' rights, which can sometimes be compromised through competition for a low bid. Saratoga Springs officials, however, argue that Wicks Law doesn't apply in the Spa City because the city charter predates it.
The bid order was also issued after the bidding process was closed, though a contract had not been signed. City Attorney Joseph Scala sent a strongly worded letter to the Department of Labor, writing, "I am deeply disturbed at the conduct of department staff, the lack of professionalism and the hostile manner in which this matter was handledI am unconvinced that your agency has authority to act in the manner it has, especially at this late date."
Johnson said that the city had a conference call with officials from the Department of Labor on Tuesday, and indicated that lines of communication will remain open.
"I'm hopeful that we can resolve the problem without litigation," said Johnson.
Multiple calls to the Department of Labor for comment were not returned before press time.
There is also the matter of the $6.5 million already bonded for the recreation center. The city could face penalties if $1.7 million of the bond isn't spent by April 1. One of the city's concerns when selecting a firm was ensuring that money would be spent before the deadline. Facing two legal challenges, it's uncertain whether that remains possible.""

So, Joe Girardi tell me again why Al Aceves does not have enough experience to replace either Darrell Rasner or Sidney Ponson in the New York Yankees starting rotation?
I didn't watch much of the game last night. I was busy live-blogging the New York Giants' season-opening victory over Washington. That was a much better use of my time.
Anyway, all you have to do is look at the box score.
- Rasner: 1.1 IP, 6 hits, 5 ER.
- Aceves: 5 IP, 5 hits, 1 ER.
If Aceves does not replace Rasner the next time that spot comes around in the Yankee rotation that's a joke.
With last night's loss, the Yankees ought to start looking at all other pitching possibilities that don't include the words Rasner and Ponson. The fat lady is tunning up.
Ed, I think you other point is valid. The Gaints are a much better use of of any Yankee's time at this point. That is unless you are Peter Abraham. I just give thanks for 18-1.
Does Peter ever contribute comments to your entries?
Anyone but Ponson!
Aceves is the logical choice, although Hughes or Wright could be activated. Rasner served his purpose when he first came up, a few quality starts, but it is obvious he is now in over his head. Time to thank him for services rendered and try something else.
Hey Ed, do you lead Bugs and Cranks in the number of comments per post? Looks like you've been averaging at least 7-8 sponses per post. Or is it that the Yankee fans are more blog oriented than other fans? Just curious.
Ed leads because he says stupid shit like 'Wang is the 7th best pitcher in baseball', 'The Sox traded for Youkalis', and, preseason: 'The Yankees have a shot at a 27th World Series title. Your team doesn't', and some people luv that crazy shit. It is said that most LoHudians have a picture of Ed on their mantles.
Pete's okay, even if he is a Patriots fan!
Other question: I noticed here in NYC a fair number of Mets fans that are NY Giants fans. That's something I don't quite get as:
– Jets/Mets shared Shea Stadium while Yankees/Giants shared Yankee Stadium
– Jets/Mets were expansion teams while Yankees/Giants are much older teams with longer histories
– Jets/Mets in their earlier days were lead by young payers with star quality – Namath, Seaver
– Jets/Mets both won their first championship within the same 12 moth period – 68/69 and '69
– Jets/Mets name rhyme (okay, that last one was insipid, but I could not resist).
Obviously the most important phenomina or trend (if it is even that as it's from a biased sample), but just something I pondered on the way to Wall Street the other day. Your thoughts on odd baseball/football fan pairings?

Conventionally, the gate dielectric may be made thicker to combat this leakage. Thicker gate dielectric results in lower performance and prevents downward scaling of the transistor.
In PMOS SOI metal gate transistors, for example, a thickness of a metal gate on a high-k (high dielectric constant) gate dielectric may be selected to result in a desired threshold voltage (VTh). A thicker metal layer may have a higher work function and lower VTh. However, a thicker metal gate also results in a higher E-field and more leakage current. Conventionally, the thicker dielectric layer used to prevent leakage current reduces performance of the device, as well as the ability to scale the device to smaller sizes.
In various embodiments, an apparatus and method relating to the formation of a substrate are described. In the following description, various embodiments will be described. However, one skilled in the relevant art will recognize that the various embodiments may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other replacement and/or additional methods, materials, or components. In other instances, well-known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of various embodiments of the invention. Similarly, for purposes of explanation, specific numbers, materials, and configurations are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. Nevertheless, the invention may be practiced without specific details. Furthermore, it is understood that the various embodiments shown in the figures are illustrative representations and are not necessarily drawn to scale.
Reference throughout this specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the invention, but do not denote that they are present in every embodiment. Thus, the appearances of the phrases "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily referring to the same embodiment of the invention. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. Various additional layers and/or structures may be included and/or described features may be omitted in other embodiments.
Various operations will be described as multiple discrete operations in turn, in a manner that is most helpful in understanding the invention. However, the order of description should not be construed as to imply that these operations are necessarily order dependent. In particular, these operations need not be performed in the order of presentation. Operations described may be performed in a different order than the described embodiment. Various additional operations may be performed and/or described operations may be omitted in additional embodiments.
The device 100 as illustrated in
The second semiconductor layer 106 may include source/drain regions 108, 110 in some embodiments. These source/drain regions 108, 110 may be formed by doping the second semiconductor layer 106 in some embodiments. In other embodiments, the source/drain regions 108, 110 may be formed by removing portions of the second semiconductor layer 106 and replacing the removed portions with other materials. The source/drain regions 108, 110 may include extensions so that the source/drain regions 108, 110 reach beneath structures such as dielectric layer 120 and/or metal gate 112 that are above the second semiconductor layer 106.
There may be a dielectric layer 120 on the second semiconductor layer 106 in some embodiments. The dielectric layer 120 may have a length (the distance from left to right in
There may be a metal gate 112 on the dielectric layer 120 in some embodiments. The metal gate 112 may have a thickness (distance from top of metal gate 112 to bottom of metal gate 112 in
There may be a conductor 116 on the metal gate 112 in some embodiments. The conductor 116 may comprise polysilicon or another material and/or combination of materials. The conductor 116 may have a length (the distance from left to right in
There may be a set of spacers 118 formed on either side of the dielectric layer 120, metal gate 112, and conductor 116. The spacers 118 may be formed of an insulating material in some embodiments, such as a nitride or oxide. The spacers 118 may fill in the lateral undercuts 114 of the metal gate 112.
The lateral undercuts 114 may reduce the vertical E-field in the portions of the metal gate 112 over the source/drain extensions beneath the metal gate 112, which may reduce leakage current when the device 100 is in an off state. This may allow the device 100 to have a thin dielectric layer 120 while still having a thick metal gate 112 and an acceptable level of leakage current. Thus, the thickness of the metal gate 112, and the threshold voltage of the device 100 may be chosen without requiring a thick dielectric layer 120, allowing the device 100 to have increased performance.
The metal gate 112 may have a thickness 206. This thickness may be chosen to provide a desired work function and threshold voltage (VTh) of the gate of the device 100. In an embodiment, the thickness 206 may between about 50 angstroms and about 200 angstroms. In other embodiments, the thickness may be greater than about 75 angstroms. In yet other embodiments, the thickness 206 may be different. The dielectric layer 120 may also have a thickness 204. In some embodiments, the dielectric layer 120 may have a thickness 204 less than about 25 angstroms, although in other embodiments the thickness 204 may be different.
The source/drain regions 108, 110 may each extend a distance 208 beneath the dielectric layer 120 and the metal gate 112 in some embodiments. The distance 208 is the distance between the outermost edge of the metal gate 112 and the furthest depth of the extension of the source/drain regions 108, 110 beneath the metal gate 112. The distance 210 may be considered the depth of the source/drain region 108, 110 extensions beneath the metal gate 112. The lateral undercuts 114 may extend a distance 210 from the outermost edge of the metal gate 112. The distance 210 is thus the distance between the outermost edge of the metal gate 112 and the greatest depth of the lateral undercut 114. The distance 210 may be considered the depth of the lateral undercuts 114. In an embodiment, the distance 208 may be greater than the distance 210. In an embodiment, the distance 210 may be between about one-quarter the distance 208 and about three-quarters of the distance 208. In another embodiment, the distance 210 may be about one-half the distance 208. In an embodiment, the distance 208 may be between about 10 nm and about 5 nm, and the distance 210 may be between about 7.5 nm and about 3.5 nm. In other embodiments, the distances 208, 210 may be different.
The lateral undercuts 114 in the metal gate 112 may reduce the vertical E-field between the metal gate 112 and the portions of the source/drain regions 108, 110 that extend under the dielectric layer 120. This reduction in vertical E-field may reduce the leakage current without necessitating increasing the thickness of the dielectric layer 120.
The dielectric layer 402 may be a high-k dielectric layer in some embodiments. Such a high-k dielectric layer 402 may comprise, for example, hafnium oxide, hafnium silicon oxide, lanthanum oxide, lanthanum aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, zirconium silicon oxide, titanium oxide, tantalum oxide, barium strontium titanium oxide, barium titanium oxide, strontium titanium oxide, yttrium oxide, aluminum oxide, lead scandium tantalum oxide, and lead zinc niobate. Although a few examples of materials that may be used to form the dielectric layer 402 are described here, the dielectric layer 402 may be made from other materials.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the dielectric layer 402 may be formed on the second semiconductor layer 106 by an atomic layer chemical vapor deposition ("ALCVD") process. In an ALCVD process, a growth cycle may be repeated until a dielectric layer 402 of a desired thickness is created. Such a growth cycle may comprise the following sequence in an embodiment. Steam is introduced into a CVD reactor for a selected pulse time, followed by a purging gas. A precursor (e.g., an organometallic compound, a metal chloride or other metal halide) is then pulsed into the reactor, followed by a second purge pulse. (A carrier gas that comprises nitrogen or another inert gas may be injected into the reactor at the same time.)
While operating the reactor at a selected pressure and maintaining the substrate at a selected temperature, steam, the purging gas, and the precursor may, in turn, be fed at selected flow rates into the reactor. By repeating this growth cycle—steam, purging gas, precursor, and purging gas—multiple times, one may create a dielectric layer 402 of a desired thickness on the second semiconductor layer 106. The pressure at which the reactor is operated, the gases' flow rates, and the temperature at which the substrate is maintained may be varied depending upon the application and the precursor that is used. The CVD reactor may be operated long enough to form the dielectric layer 402 with the desired thickness. The thickness 204 of the dielectric layer 120 of the device 100 may be substantially the same as the thickness of the dielectric layer 402 deposited on the second semiconductor layer 106. As discussed above, the dielectric layer 120 in the device 100 with lateral undercuts 114 may have a small thickness 204 and leakage current may still be at an acceptable level. This may allow scaling of device sizes and increased performance.
After forming the dielectric layer 402, the metal layer 404 may be formed on the dielectric layer 402. Metal layer 404 may be formed using conventional metal deposition processes, e.g., CVD or PVD processes, by using ALCVD, or another suitable method, and may comprise any conductive material from which metal gate electrodes may be derived. Materials that may be used to form n-type metal layers 404 (used in NMOS devices) include: hafnium, zirconium, titanium, tantalum, aluminum, their alloys (e.g., metal carbides that include these elements, i.e., hafnium carbide, zirconium carbide, titanium carbide, tantalum carbide, and aluminum carbide), and aluminides (e.g., an aluminide that comprises hafnium, zirconium, titanium, tantalum, or tungsten). Materials for forming p-type metal layers 404 (used in PMOS devices) include: ruthenium, palladium, platinum, cobalt, nickel, and conductive metal oxides, e.g., ruthenium oxide. Alternatively, a mid-gap metal gate material, e.g. stoichiometric titanium nitride or tantalum nitride, may be used in the metal layer 404 in some embodiments.
In some embodiments, metal layers 404 for NMOS devices may have a workfunction that is between about 3.9 eV and about 4.2 eV. In some embodiments, metal layers 404 for PMOS devices may have a workfunction that is between about 4.9 eV and about 5.2 eV. In some embodiments, metal layers 404 for mid-gap devices may have a workfunction between the workfunctions of NMOS and PMOS gate electrode materials.
A conductive layer 406 may be formed on the metal layer 404 in some embodiments. The conductive layer 406 may comprise any suitable conductive material, such as polysilicon, tungsten, aluminum, titanium, titanium nitride, or other materials or combinations of materials.
In other embodiments, the dielectric layer 402 may be patterned prior to forming the lateral undercuts 114, rather than after. In such embodiments, care may be taken to avoid removing portions of the dielectric layer 402 while making the lateral undercuts 114; removal of portions of the dielectric layer 402 while making the lateral undercuts 114 could result in gate to source/drain shorts.
Additional processes may then be performed to result in the device 100 as illustrated in
Depending on the applications, system 800 may include other components, including but are not limited to volatile and non-volatile memory 812, a graphics processor (integrated with the motherboard 804 or connected to the motherboard as a separate removable component such as an AGP or PCI-E graphics processor), a digital signal processor, a crypto processor, mass storage 814 (such as hard disk, compact disk (CD), digital versatile disk (DVD) and so forth), input and/or output devices 816, and so forth.
In various embodiments, system 800 may be a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile phone, a tablet computing device, a laptop computing device, a desktop computing device, a set-top box, an entertainment control unit, a digital camera, a digital video recorder, a CD player, a DVD player, or other digital device of the like.
Any of one or more of the components 806, 814, etc. in
The foregoing description of the embodiments of the invention has been presented for the purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed. This description and the claims following include terms, such as left, right, top, bottom, over, under, upper, lower, first, second, etc. that are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting. For example, terms designating relative vertical position refer to a situation where a device side (or active surface) of a substrate or integrated circuit is the "top" surface of that substrate; the substrate may actually be in any orientation so that a "top" side of a substrate may be lower than the "bottom" side in a standard terrestrial frame of reference and still fall within the meaning of the term "top." The term "on" as used herein (including in the claims) does not indicate that a first layer "on" a second layer is directly on and in immediate contact with the second layer unless such is specifically stated; there may be a third layer or other structure between the first layer and the second layer on the first layer. The embodiments of a device or article described herein can be manufactured, used, or shipped in a number of positions and orientations. Persons skilled in the relevant art can appreciate that many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. Persons skilled in the art will recognize various equivalent combinations and substitutions for various components shown in the Figures. It is therefore intended that the scope of the invention be limited not by this detailed description, but rather by the claims appended hereto.

Traditional Program News
Silver Lake College's Artist Music Series Presents Wisconsin Brass Quintet, Vocalist Abby Nichols
The Wisconsin Brass Quintet and guest vocalist Abby Nichols will perform at 7:30 p.m. March 1 in the new Franciscan Center for Music Education and Performance, located on the campus of Silver Lake College of the Holy Family, 2406 S. Alverno Road.
It's the fifth of seven concerts in Silver Lake College's 2013-14 Artist Music Series.
Founded in 1972, the Wisconsin Brass Quintet is a faculty ensemble-in-residence at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Music. Members include John Aley on trumpet, Daniel Grabois on horn, Mark Hetzler on trombone, John Stevens on tuba, and Jessica Jensen on trumpet.
The group has performed extensively throughout the Midwest and nationally, including appearances at New York's Carnegie Recital Hall and Merkin Concert Hall. The quintet, which has released three recordings, also performs annual live broadcast concerts on Wisconsin Public Radio.
Barry Kilpatrick, who writes for American Record Guide, said, "I've reviewed over 250 brass recordings in the past five years, and this is one of the very best. The WBQ is a remarkable ensemble that plays with more reckless abandon, warmth, stylistic variety and interpretive interest than almost any quintet in memory."
Abby Nichols, a native of Madison, has a bachelor's degree in musical theater from Pace University in New York City, where she performed leading roles in numerous productions, including "Alice in Wonderland" and "Into the Woods." During her years in New York City, she also played lead roles in national tours of "Annie" and "Junie B. Jones," and was in the Lincoln Center production of Stephen Sondheim's "Passion" and the Gallery Players' "City of Angels."
Tickets are $17 for general admission, and $12 for students and seniors (ages 65 and older). To purchase tickets, visit the Capitol Civic Centre box office at www.cccshows.org or call (920) 683-2184.

George Grande just made it sound like Cordero hit that ball 600 miles. And it was a double play.
George Grande just made it sound like Cordero hit that ball 600 miles. And it was a double play.
Benzinger backing and calling! And the 1990 world championship series belongs to the Cincinnati Reds!
Why did Bako bat vs. the lefty?
Why wasn't Cordero given the "take" sign for his entire AB?
These are managerial decisions that need to be questioned, regardless of the outcome of tonight's game?
Championships Matter.
24 Years and Counting...
Feliz, Coste and Dobbs due up.
I'm besides myself with Baker's decisions.
This place use to be fun
How about what George?
I don't mean to get on the bandwagon of anti-Grandeness, but c'mon, that was a slow roller. It wasn't gonna sneak through THAT defense.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
All that and this team gets one stinking run and nothing with the bases loaded and 0 outs.
No reason to let Bako hit there.
UHHHGGGGGHH. Painful.
It's a pitchers night, the Reds should finish this out all right.
Agreed CE.
This was a very poorly managed game. It ranks right up there with the 18 inning game against the Padres.
I miss Adam Dunn.
Hairston to left. Janish to short.

To diagnose
plantar fasciitis, your doctor will ask questions
about your symptoms and your past health. He or she will also do a
physical exam of your feet that includes watching you
stand and walk.
X-rays are not helpful in diagnosing plantar
fasciitis, because they do not show ligaments clearly. But your doctor might
take X-rays if he or she suspects a
stress fracture, bone cyst, or other foot or ankle
bone problems. X-rays may show whether a
heel spur is present, but a bone spur does not
necessarily mean that a person has plantar fasciitis.
If the
diagnosis is not clear, you may have other tests. Tests that are done in rare
cases include
MRI, blood tests, bone scans, and vascular testing,
which can evaluate blood flow in the foot and lower leg. If your doctor
suspects nerve entrapment, you may have neurological testing.

Backup Exec 12.5 SP3 and hp Ultrium 960 LTO3 trouble
I'm currently in the process of installing new backup server and ran out into some trouble...
I have a hp ProLiant DL140 G2 with Windows 2003 R2 Standard x64 Edition installed, the OS has an SP2 and all critical updates installed.
Then I connected an hp Ultrium 960 LTO3 SCSI External Tape Drive to it, installed Backup Exec v12.5 x64 and applied through LiveUpdate SP3 and all hotfixes. Also installed the latest Backup Exec drivers for the tape drive.
And tried a test backup job, which failed with the alert window stating "The device, \Device\Scsi\symmpi3, did not respond within the timeout period." and following erros in windows' application log, all the events have the same id - 33152:
- "Adamm Mover Error: DeviceIo: 00:00:03:00 - Retry Logic: Original settings restored on device: HP Ultrium 3-SCSI",
- "Adamm Mover Error: DeviceIo: 03:00:03:00 - Refresh handle on "\\.\Tape0", SCSI cmd 00, new handle 538, error 1117",
- "Adamm Mover Error: DeviceIo: 00:00:03:00 - Retry Logic: Retry logic was engaged on device: HP Ultrium 3-SCSI",
- "Adamm Mover Error: DeviceIo: 03:00:03:00 - Device error 1117 on "\\.\Tape0", SCSI cmd 0a, 3 total errors",
"Adamm Mover Error: Read Failure!
Error = ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION
Drive = "HP 1"
Media = "Wednesday"
Read Mode: SingleBlock(0), ScsiPass(0)
Write Mode: SingleBlock(1), ScsiPass(1)"
Then I tried to run hp L&TT utility to troubleshoot the drive, but with no success - it said that no driver is installed. I tried to install the latest hp drivers, but also no luck until I found here on the forum this idea: "1. turn off the server and disconnect the drive; 2. turn on the server; 3. turn it off again and connect the drive; 4. turn on and after booting finishes turn on the drive." After this manipulations L&TT found the drive and I was able to test (which reported that device is just fine) it and update firmware to the latest one. But Backup Exec is not working and after normal reboot everything is back to "not working at all".
I'm kinda out of options how to fix this erros, so I'll appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Romax
Could you please check the Windows system log, if you are getting event id's 7,9,11 or 15 then refer to the below link.
Refer the following document http://support.veritas.com/docs/305233
HP Server Management Agents Software installed might be causing the issue .
The fact that L&TT is having a similar issue indicates there is an underlying hardware problem.
It's quite common to attach the SCSI cable to the wrong port on the back of the drive and to have bad termination too. All of the HP external SCSI tape drives are self-terminating as indicated by a term LED on the back of the drive. The two SCSI ports are marked IN and OUT. By connecting to the IN port, the drive's termination will enable. You do not need to connect a terminator to the drive. Double check your cabling taking in to consideration what I'v mentioned above.
Also, do not connect the tape drive to an external SCSI port of a RAID controller unless HP supports this type of configuration. Lastly, examine the pins on the SCSI cable's ends to ensure none of them are bent. It's real easy to bend a pin on the HD68 SCSI cables. I would also recommend trying a different SCSI cable too if all else fails.
From the SCSI HBA side...you may want to reset the cards BIOS to the defaults. If you have an Adaptec SCSI controller...then I believe it's Ctrl-C to get in to the BIOS during POST and then F6 one the main menu or somewhere near there. I've seen this resolve some of my hardware issues.
Have you also tried a complete power off/on of the server and tape drive? Sometimes the simplest things will resolve these types of problems.
Good luck...
I thick I checked everything... The cable was connected like it should be, the SCSI adapter is the one recommended by hp. Tried to turn on/off a couple of times.
Then I unchecked "Write SCSI pass-through mode" checkbox on the "Configuration" tab of Drive properties in Backup Exec and it looks like it helped.. Regarding this solution: does this have any disadvanteges?
But a new problem arose: I can't restore individual messages from Exchange backup, the error is "0xe00002fe - Cannot log on to MAPI with the specified credentials. Review the resource credentials for the job, and then run the job again".
The user account from which I'm doing this operation is Enterprise Administrator, has an activated mailbox and is not hidden from GAL.. Also the credetials test in job creation window completes succesfully.
Tried to reinstall "Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects 1.2.1" both on the Exchange and on the Backup Exec Servers with no success...
I kinda ran out options here...

Ok, I read the Java Documentation and I just can't figure out what is the main difference between those two methods. Sometimes I used
setSize(), sometimes
setPreferredSize(), sometimes one does what I want, sometimes the other.
So, what is the main difference between the two? Which one should I use for
