New Year, new album! Full of flare Myriam Fares ready to release record
A little bit of Lebanese, an edge of Egyptian, and a kiss of Khaliji all make for a new album as diverse as Myriam Fares' wardrobe. "The Queen of the Stage" says she's almost ready to rock the region with her brand new album.
After her luxurious vacay, she's been burning the candle at both ends, meeting with famed poets and composers to ensure that the finished product is of the highest standards. She's got a reputation to uphold, after all!
According to the Middle East news portal Elaph, Myriam will personally fund the production through her company "Myriam Music". The album will feature music from different cultures. Leave it to the lady to know what she's doing. Her previous album "Min Iyouni" (From My Eyes) is still witnessing serious success, and her songs are ranked on top of the charts.
She's still managing to squeak in some time to appear on "Dancing with the Stars" tonight on the Lebanese channel MTV, no doubt with a surprise or two in store for expectant fans.

That is the question. Powercommander makes a product called Wideband Commander which i would guess uses the same technology--but it's only a guess. (Dobeck, maker of Techlusion, has a Wideband option on its latest product, not available for our bikes. They announced a deal with Innovate:
Dobeck and Innovate
Since the PC III has a cable to the Motronic O2 input, and since the SW shows a closed loop area, I'm now starting to reconsider the way it functions with Motronic. It may be that, like the innovate LC-1, it lets the Motronic run a Closed Loop program part of the time. That part time is likely to be in the shaded area below. That being the case, the Motronic would then have what it needed to calculate Adaptation Values in the areas where the PC allowed Closed Loop.
If this all sounds a little confusing it is. On the one hand, the PC can only add Open Loop fuel when the Motronic isn't Closed Loop. On the other hand, as much as I've measured the Motronic for my LC-1 install, I can't say precisely how the Motronic's Adaptation Values would interact with the PC. Given the Wideband Commander technology and the difficulty of designing a Closed Loop software program it makes some sense that the PC would let the Motronic perform CL. I'll look into this some more.

This is certainly a jewel of a scent.
Soft, delicate and sublime, B by Boucheron is million times better than 95% of what is out there today. It is not the most unique scent in the world, but it is the best floral that I have come across for a long time (among the new creations.)
It has a tender voice that surrounds its wearer with a soft blend of woods and flowers as rose, orange blossom and osmanthus. Boucheron says that one of the magical ingredients is pink peppercorn, which I assume is what creates the rich spiciness of the blend. Staying luminous and floral throughout, as time passes, the wood-sy base of sandalwood, cedar and a hint of patchouli comes to play and adds an earthy feel to the progression. There is also a delicate dash of apricot in it, to increase the seducing femininity.
I like the fact the B is soft yet spicy, floral yet wood-sy, luminous yet Earthy all at the same time. It is just so precious. I wonder how it would work on my skin, yet there is nothing unpleasant about this frag (other than its rather high price) and even though it is not groundbreaking, it is most certainly a spellbinding creation: one that is worthy of Boucheron's great name and stance in the international luxury industry.
B is lovely.

$110 Off Canon EOS Rebel T4i Kit (Refurbished) – Was $500 | Now $390 @ Canon eStore Canada
Eyeing a new camera? The Canon eStore currently has the refurbished EOS Rebel T4i kit on sale for just $389.99 instead of its original price tag of $499.99. Shipping is free as well.
Just to give you an idea, a brand new version of this camera actually typically retails for 1,159.98, as evidenced by Sears' retail price! So even though it's refurbished at the Canon eStore, you're still saving money than 50%, which is absolutely incredible for a camera like this one.
Here are just some of the most noteworthy specs:
- 18MP CMOS sensor
- 5.0 fps
- extended ISO range of 100-12800
- hybrid CMOS AF system
- 3″ clear view LCD monitor
- multi-shot noise reduction
- full HD movie mode with continuous AF
It also comes with a Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens. Once you add it to your cart, the following two items will also be included free of charge:
- Camera armor 58mm UV filter: reg. $14.99
- Remote controller RC-6: reg. $27
At Amazon, a non-refurbished version of this camera is actually as high as $734.23 through the marketplace. The reason I bring it up though is that you can read over 750 reviews and the first one posted is definitely worth checking out. It's rather lengthy but covers all aspects from the look and feel, to the touchscreen, image quality, battery life and other aspects. Not to spoil it or anything but that reviewer gave it a 5/5 star review. It also has a general consensus a near perfect score, so if you're looking for an amazing camera that is affordable, then this deal from Canon is a worthy contender.
As we have mentioned numerous times before here at Bargainmoose, a "refurbished" status is nothing to shy away from as you can rest assured that the product is in great condition, if not in even better condition than a brand new product. Although the risks of something malfunctioning within the camera are extremely low, anything can certainly happen but you can rest assured that you will be protected for at least a year with Canon's refurbished limited warranty.
Speaking of reviews, CNET has given the Canon EOS Rebel a 4.5/5 star rating praising the quality of the pictures with the only downside being that: "the feature set remains rather blah, and its photos aren't as good as the T3i's at high ISO sensitivities".

Ben Charles Padilla, an aircraft mechanic, flight engineer and cargo pilot, traveled the world plying his trade for various private companies.
He'd often keep in touch with family members from faraway locales, so it was no surprise in May 2003 when he replied to an e-mail about his mother having a heart attack with news that he was in Africa refurbishing a plane and would contact her as soon as he could.
His family has not heard from him since, and the FBI believes the 51-year-old was aboard a Boeing 727 that took off without authorization from an airport in Angola on May 25 and promptly vanished. At the time, U.S. officials told ABCNEWS they suspected the plane was stolen to run drugs or guns, and some theorized it was crashed for insurance money.
Though there was fear that the former passenger plane, which the FBI says was reconfigured to carry diesel fuel, could be in the hands of terrorists eyeing a Sept. 11-style attack, there was no evidence to link it to terrorism.
The incident touched off an intensive investigation by U.S. intelligence agencies that continues nearly a year later. The plane and Padilla remain unaccounted for — and the mysterious circumstances around their disappearance leave many unanswered questions.
How could a plane vanish? Who has it now? And what happened to Padilla, who was no stranger to assignments like the one that took him to Angola?
Waiting for a Break
"It's been almost a year and I know really no more now than I did in the beginning," said Joseph Padilla of Pensacola, Fla., younger brother of the missing man. Family members are baffled by his disappearance but maintain Ben Padilla would not knowingly have been involved in any illegal activities.
Joseph Padilla suspects there may have been some sort of dispute of ownership between the company that hired his brother and someone else, and that Ben got caught in the middle.
Joseph Padilla stays in contact with the FBI and State Department for updates on the case and provides them with leads from reporters and his own research. There have been glimmers of hope for a breakthrough — a crash in Benin at Christmastime, a tip that the plane had been spotted in Guinea — but investigators have told him they were not the missing plane.
"[The investigation] is still ongoing," said FBI Special Agent Jeff Westcott. "We're investigating possibilities. Every now and then a lead will come in. The FBI, working with our agents overseas, will aggressively pursue that." But so far, he said, the leads "haven't amounted to anything."
The agency is considering any scenario, including terrorism, but "we really don't speculate," said Westcott. "It's a concern — I wouldn't really characterize it beyond that."
The State Department, which is in charge of locating missing persons abroad, has not learned much about Padilla's whereabouts. "It's still open," said Stuart Patt, spokesman for the Bureau of Consular Affairs at the Department of State. "We stay in touch with the family of the pilot, but they haven't heard anything. We haven't heard anything. It's really been a very long time since we've had any news or even any leads.
"Certainly there are a lot of hypotheticals," Patt said, without giving specifics. "We just don't have any basis yet for really being able to give an answer that would be meaningful."

A process for filling high aspect ratio gaps on substrates uses conventional high density plasma deposition processes while reducing the concentration of the inert gas, such as Ar, to 0-13% of the total process gas flow. By reducing the inert gas concentration, sputtering or etching is reduced, resulting in reduced sidewall deposition from the sputtered material. Consequently, gaps with aspect ratios of 3.0:1 and higher can be filled without the formation of voids and without damaging circuit elements.
1. A process for filling gaps during integrated circuit production, comprising the steps of:
providing a gas mixture comprised of silicon-containing, oxygen-containing, and inert components, wherein said inert components comprise no more than 13% total concentration of said gas mixture; and
depositing a film over said gaps by using said gas mixture for simultaneous CVD and sputter etching.
2. The process of claim 1, wherein said silicon-containing component is silane.
3. The process of claim 1, wherein said oxygen-containing component is O2 .
4. The process of claim 1, wherein said inert component is selected from the group consisting of argon, helium and hydrogen.
5. The process of claim 1, wherein said gas mixture is at a pressure between 1 and 3 mTorr.
6. The process of claim 5, wherein said gas mixture is at a pressure of 2 mTorr.
7. The process of claim 2, wherein said silane is at a flow rate of 80 to 250 sccm.
8. The process of claim 3, wherein said O2 is at a flow rate of 120 to 250 sccm.
9. The process of claim 4, wherein said inert component is argon at a flow rate of 0 to 50 sccm.
10. A process for filling gaps during integrated circuit production, comprising the step of:
depositing a film over said gaps by HDP deposition using a gas mixture comprised of silicon-containing, oxygen-containing, and inert components, wherein said inert components comprise no more than 13% total concentration of said gas mixture.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to methods of thin film deposition and specifically to a process of filling high aspect ratio gaps on substrates.
2. Description of Related Art
As semiconductor technology advances, circuit elements and interconnections on wafers or silicon substrates become increasingly more dense. In order to prevent unwanted interactions between these circuit elements, insulator-filled gaps or trenches located therebetween are provided to physically and electrically isolate the elements and conductive lines. However, as circuit densities continue to increase, the widths of these gaps decrease, thereby increasing gap aspect ratios, typically defined as the gap height divided by the gap width. As a result, filling these narrower gaps becomes more difficult, which can lead to unwanted voids and discontinuities in the insulating or gap-fill material.
Currently, high density plasma (HDP) oxide deposition is used to fill high aspect ratio gaps. Typical HDP deposition processes employ chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with a gas mixture containing oxygen, silane, and inert gases, such as argon, to achieve simultaneous dielectric etching and deposition. In an HDP process, an RF bias is applied to a wafer substrate in a reaction chamber. Some of these gas molecules (particularly argon) are ionized in the plasma and accelerate toward the wafer surface when the RF bias is applied to the substrate. Material is thereby sputtered when the ions strike the surface. As a result, dielectric material deposited on the wafer surface is simultaneously sputter etched to help keep gaps open during the deposition process, which allows higher aspect ratio gaps to be filled.
FIGS. 1A-1D illustrate, in more detail, the simultaneous etch and deposition (etch/dep) process described above. In FIG. 1A, SiO2, formed from silane (SiH4) and oxygen (O2), begins depositing on the surface of a wafer 100 for filling a gap 110 between circuit elements 120. As the SiO2 is being deposited, charged ions impinge on the SiO2 or dielectric layer 125, thereby simultaneously etching the SiO2 layer. However, because the etch rate at about 45� is approximately three to four times that on the horizontal surface, 45� facets 130 form at the corners of elements 120 during the deposition process, as shown in FIG. 1B. FIGS. 1C and 1D show the process continuing to fill gap 110 with simultaneous etching and deposition of SiO2.
In FIGS. 1A-1D, the etch/dep ratio is optimized such that facets 130 remain at the corners of circuit elements 120 throughout the HDP deposition process. However, as shown in FIG. 2A, if the etch/dep ratio is decreased, facets 130 begin moving away from the corners of elements 120, and cusps 210 begin to form on sidewalls of gap 110. Cusp formation is due to some of the etched SiO2 being redeposited on opposing surfaces through line-of-sight redeposition, even though most of the etched SiO2 is emitted back into the plasma and pumped out of the reaction chamber. This redeposition increases as the distance between opposing surfaces decreases. Therefore, as facets 130 move away from the corners of elements 120, the line-of-sight paths are shortened, resulting in increased sidewall redeposition. At a certain point in the process, cusps 210 will meet and prevent further deposition below the cusps. When this occurs, a void 220 is created in dielectric layer 125, as shown in FIG. 2B. On the other hand, if the etch/dep ratio is increased, as shown in FIG. 3, the etching component can etch or "clip" material from the corners of elements 120, thereby damaging elements 120 and introducing etched contaminants 310 into dielectric layer 125.
The etch/dep ratio can be controlled by varying the flow rate of silane or other process gases, which affect the deposition rate, or by varying either the power supplied to the wafer for biasing or the flow rate of argon or other inert gases, which affect the sputter etch rate. Etch rates are typically increased by increasing the flow rate of the inert gas, which is used solely to promote sputtering, rather than increasing power and expending large amounts of energy. Typical argon flow rates for HDP deposition range from 30%-60% or more of the total process gas flow rate. By optimizing the etch/dep ratio, gaps with aspect ratios of up to about 3.0:1 can be filled without voids. However, as shown in FIG. 4, filling higher aspect ratio gaps results in voids 410 due to cusps 420 prematurely closing the gaps even if the etch/dep ratio is optimized to 1 at the element corners. As discussed above, this is due mainly to the shortened line-of-sight path between opposing sidewalls. If the etch rate is increased to keep the gaps open longer, undesirable corner clipping can occur.
Therefore, with circuit densities increasing, higher aspect ratio gaps need to be filled without the problems discussed above with current HDP deposition processes.
In accordance with the present invention, a high aspect ratio gap-fill process uses high density plasma (HDP) deposition processes with reduced inert gas concentrations, for example, argon at 0-13% of the total process gas flow. At these reduced levels, the etch or sputter rate decreases and the facet moves away from the element corners, as expected. However, cusps do not form on the element sidewalls because much less material is etched and thus available for redeposition. Consequently, with a greatly reduced sputter component, gaps remain open longer so that higher aspect ratio gaps can be filled without the formation of voids. In addition, because other system parameters can remain unchanged from conventional HDP deposition processes, the pressure for the process gas can be reduced because the inert gas concentration, and therefore the total gas concentration, decreases as the etch/dep ratio decreases.
FIGS. 1A-1D are sequential views of a conventional HDP deposition process with optimized etch/dep ratios;
FIGS. 2A-2B are sequential views illustrating void formation when the etch/dep ratio decreases using a conventional HDP process;
FIG. 3 is a picture of "clipped" corners when the etch/dep ratio increases using conventional HDP processes;

FIG. 7 is a SEM picture of a 4.0:1 aspect ratio gap filled using the method of the present invention; and
FIG. 8 is a graph of the relationship between the aspect ratio gapfill capability and the etch/dep ratio as a function of argon percentage for the present invention.
Use of the same reference numbers indicates similar or like elements.
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a process using high density plasma (HDP) deposition with reduced inert gas flows is provided, which allows high aspect ratio gaps to be filled without voids or clipped corners associated with conventional methods.
In one embodiment, the process of the present invention is used in a shallow trench isolation (STI) step, in which large numbers of small, closely spaced transistors are isolated from each other by filling gaps with a dielectric layer. The highest aspect ratios (>3.0:1) are associated with the STI step. The method of the present invention can also be used in other steps in the production of integrated circuits where films are deposited, such as the pre-metal dielectric (PMD), inter-metal dielectric (IMD), passivation, and anti-reflective layer (ARL) steps. PMD steps typically provide insulator layers, e.g., P, B, or BP-doped oxide, between polysilicon structures and the first metal interconnect layer. On the other hand, IMD steps provide insulator layers, e.g., undoped SiO2 or F-doped oxide, between subsequent metal interconnect layers. Passivation steps provide protection layers, such as SiN or SION, for the wafer, while ARL steps deposit layers for photolithography improvements.
Similar to conventional HDP deposition processes, a gas mixture containing silane (SiH4), oxygen (O2), and argon (Ar) is used to simultaneously deposit and etch dielectric material, where SiH4 and O2 are used to form SiO2 for the deposition component, and O2 and Ar are used for the sputter component. These gases are not limiting, and other suitable gases include any gases normally used for a particular film deposition process. For instance, other inert or etchant gases, such as He or H2, may be substituted for Ar. However, contrary to conventional HDP processes, the concentration of Ar in the present invention is no more than 13% of the total process gas flow. For example, Table 1 below lists the three gases and their respective gas flow ranges, with the actual gas flow amount dependent upon the wafer size.
TABLE 1______________________________________ Gas Flow Rate (sccm)______________________________________ SiH4 80-250 O2 120-500 Ar 0-50______________________________________
For example, typical gas flow rates for 200 mm wafer processing are SiH4 at 90 sccm, O2 at 160 sccm, and Ar at 15 sccm, which puts the Ar concentration at 5.66% of the total process gas flow.
In addition to reduced Ar concentrations, the method of the present invention allows lower pressures than prior HDP processes. Acceptable pressure ranges from 1-3 mTorr, with a preferred pressure of 2 mTorr, compared to prior methods of typically 5 mTorr or higher. The other process parameters remain the same as with prior HDP processes. For example, temperatures can range from 350�-700� C. and are determined by the type of film deposition. For instance, in STI and PMD steps, temperatures can reach up to 700�, while in IMD and passivation steps, temperatures typically cannot exceed 400�-450� C. Low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) power requirements are similarly unchanged, with the LF power ranging from 1.5-7.5 kW and the HF power ranging from 1.5-5.0 kW, again dependent upon the wafer size. A radio frequency (RF) power supply at 13.56 MHz is preferred for the present process.
A further parameter for the process of this invention is the amount of bias voltage applied to the wafer substrate in order to maintain and control the directionality of the deposition. A bias voltage in the range of -150 V to -40 V, along with the lower sputter etch rate resulting from reduced etchant gas amounts, allows higher aspect ratio gaps to be filled without the formation of voids, as illustrated in FIGS. 5A-5D.
In FIG. 5A, circuit elements 520 are formed on a substrate or wafer 100, creating gaps 510 therebetween. Circuit elements 520 can be, for example, transistors, conductors, or interconnects. A gap 510 with a high aspect ratio, typically greater than 2.5:1, is filled using HDP deposition with reduced Ar flow. During the initial stages of the process, 45� facets 530 form at the corners of circuit elements 520, as shown in FIG. 5A. Even though Ar or another inert gas, which is the primary etchant, is reduced or even eliminated, other ionized gases, such as O2, also contribute to the etching component. Therefore, even though drastically reduced, an etching component still exists which forms the facets 530 in FIG. 5A. However, because the etching component is reduced, facets 530 begin to move away from the corners of circuit elements 520 as more material deposits on the surfaces to form the SiO2 or dielectric layer 525, as shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C.
Another consequence of reducing the amount of inert gases is that sidewall redeposition is reduced. Because the sputtering component is greatly reduced, much less material is available to redeposit on sidewalls 540 and facets 530, as shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C. As a result, cusp formation is drastically reduced, and facets move away more slowly from the corners of the circuit elements. Because there is very little sidewall deposition, which is mainly driven by redeposition, high aspect ratio gaps do not close prematurely even though the facets are moving away from the corners. FIG. 5D then shows high aspect ratio gap 510 filled without void formation or clipping. FIGS. 6 and 7 are scanning electron microscope (SEM) pictures of a 4.0:1 aspect ratio gap filled using a conventional HDP process and using the method of the present invention, respectively. FIG. 6 shows a void 610 formed in dielectric layer 600, while FIG. 7 shows a void-free dielectric layer 700.
In accordance with the present invention, gaps with aspect ratios up to 6.0:1 and with widths of 0.1 micron have been filled without the formation of voids, as shown in FIG. 8. In addition, FIG. 8 shows that as the concentration of Ar decreases, the etch/dep ratio decreases, which corresponds to the overall deposition rate increasing, and the aspect ratio gapfill capability increases.
Therefore, by reducing the inert gas concentration, a void-free gapfill is possible at higher aspect ratios than are possible with conventional HDP deposition processes.
While particular embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from this invention in its broader aspects. Therefore, the appended claims are to encompass within their scope all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of this invention.

I am trying to call a Sharepoint Web Service via WCF from inside a .ASHX on a different server. My code works if I run inside of Visual Studio's debug web server, but not from IIS. The working server works in various authentication modes (Kerberos, NTLM), and the non-working one doesn't work in any. I am impersonating the same user in both cases.
Using NTLM, I recorded a working session and non-working session in Wireshark. In the working one, Wireshark parses the NTLM data and reports a DOMAIN and USER NAME that I expect. In the non-working one, it shows
I have debugged in IIS and impersonation is definitely working at the point of the service call. If I check

If I inspect the WCF service proxy on the working and non-working servers, they look identical -- the part that deals with ClientCredentials is set to

Any ideas on what else to check? Why would the NTLM data have DOMAIN and USER NAME set to NULL -- where does it pick that up from?

CSNNE.comCALGARY You know its a long road trip through Canada when the Canadian customs guy at Pearson Airport gives you the hairy eyeball when you tell him youll be in Canada for nine days covering hockey.So it will be an endurance test for the Bruins mixed in with some cool moments for Vancouver homeboy Milan Lucic, and there will be a couple of very good tests mixed in there. The Calgary Flames are the hottest team in the NHL, and the Vancouver Canucks are the class of the Western Conference with a whopping plus-60 goal differential on the season.The Flames have taken points in nine of their last 10 games, smoked the non-factor Canadiens in the Heritage Classic televised all over North America, and seem to have found their Western Canada mojo. They've put up a 15-4-5 record since Dec. 28 when Jay Feaster took over as GM of the Flames, and it appears the front office transformation was exactly what Calgary needed.Hard to believe there were ever whispers that Jarome Iginla might want out of Calgary given how the Flames are moving and grooving, but things can change pretty quickly in the NHL. Now he's just outside the NHL's top 10 with 25 goals and 57 points this season, and he's been revived by a Flames team around him that's come to life when it mattered most.On to the links:A good recap at Yahoo!

"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda
Howard is such a slugger. The problem is, he's the prototype and he is darn good at his job. Aroldis is perfect for him, and I think our guy stands an excellent chance of winning those matchups this October. I fear Utley much more than Howard in late innings because his mechanics are so ridiculously controlled. Utley waits until the pitch is on top of him before unleashing the most devastating jab since Cascius Clay. The best description I can think of for Utley's swing is a ping pong backhand by the best player on the Chinese International team. If we face Philadelphia at any point this postseason, a confrontation between Chapman and Utley is pre-ordained as a turning point. It has the potential of competing with Bob Welch and Reggie Jackson as one of the most entertaining duels in modern baseball history.
With the Giants three outs away from finishing off the Padres, it's now locked in that the Reds will play the Phillies in the NLDS. I preferred facing the Giants or Padres in the NLDS but that's not going to happen. The Phillies scare the heck out of me with their great offense and pitching, but if the Reds can find a way to win one of the first two games in Philly I will feel pretty good about our chances of advancing to the NLCS. Winning one of those first two games is a must, IMO.
I miss Adam Dunn.

Two Huron Township residents whose decomposed bodies were discovered inside their home in mid-May appear to have died from carbon monoxide poisoning, but officials are still awaiting conclusive test results, deputies said Monday.
Eunice Tuttle, 87 and her son, David Tuttle, 62 were identified through dental records on May 20—three days after a postal worker noticed mail piling up at their home and alerted authorities.
When deputies searched the Tuttles' Cleveland Road townhouse May 17, they found two severely decomposed, unidentifiable bodies and no apparent signs of foul play, Erie County Sheriff Paul Sigsworth said.
Officials suspected the pair could've died as early as mid-April.
Deputies conducted preliminary carbon monoxide tests, uncovering no obvious indication monoxide poisoning was to blame for the Tuttles' death, officials said.
However, when coroners later determined there was no trauma sustained by either individual, deputies turned their sights back to the possibility of high monoxide levels in the home, Erie County Chief Deputy Jared Oliver said.
On May 23, investigators enlisted the help of a Columbia Gas technician. A week later, they brought in a technician with Gundlach Heating and Cooling for a second opinion.
Both technicians came to the same conclusion, Oliver said:
"All signs point to the probability of carbon monoxide poisoning. However, (the technicians) aren't able to replicate weather conditions, air conditions and pressure conditions inside the unit at the time of death," Oliver said.
Though technicians found the Tuttles' furnace to be fully functioning, that doesn't necessarily indicate there wasn't a problem in the past.
"There was nothing found that was not working properly—but that doesn't mean there wasn't an issue at the time of death," Oliver said.
Now that no overt signs of a furnace malfunction have been found, investigators must await the pair's blood work results.
Oliver said those blood tests should reveal the levels of carbon monoxide in the Tuttles' bodies when they died.
Other than that final piece of the puzzle, deputies have essentially concluded their investigation into the Tuttles' death, Oliver said.
"We'll turn all our information over to the coroner's office and await that testing. We'll leave the final determination (on cause of death) up to them," Oliver said.

Cyclists gear up for today's MS 150
CORPUS CHRISTI - Pushing his pedals for 150 miles is a minor effort compared to the challenges multiple sclerosis patients face daily, said Eddie Gamez, 52, business services manager for Valero Refining Co.
Gamez is one of more than 100 employees whose bicycles were loaded onto a truck Friday for transport to San Antonio to compete in the 18th annual Valero MS 150 Bike Tour, which begins today.
"For me it's more supportive than recreational or competitive," Gamez said. He will bind a bandana to his gear that names an employee's wife with the debilitating central nervous system disease. "I believe in the cause."
The Valero team is one of hundreds gearing up with more than 3,500 cyclists to help raise an estimated $1.6 million for multiple sclerosis research and programs in the tour.
A top Corpus Christi fundraiser, Sean J. Murphy, 49, is riding for the fifth time in the two-day event on behalf of a former coworker, Lynn Williams. Murphy, the vice president of Andrews Distributing Co., rides alone this year because other members of his Brew Crew had other commitments, he said.
Last year the team of 10 raised more than $10,000, and the team has produced nearly $40,000 since it began participating. This year candy sales and a tailgate party for employees raised $8,800. Murphy sends contribution requests to friends nationwide, and said he would stand on a corner with a cup to get a buck.
"For me it's a chance to give back in a concrete way," he said.
Each year Murphy gets at least one call or note from a contributor whose life has been affected by the disease, he said. "I'm still surprised how many people have a family friend, relative or coworker suffering with (multiple sclerosis).
Last year riders ages 6 to 93 and their teams from across the United States raised a record $1.5 million to benefit the Lone Star Chapter of The National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
"The Tour continues to grow each year, in participation and fundraising," said Tony Ralf, vice president of the chapter. "The funds raised from this event allow us to assist the thousands of Texans living with (multiple sclerosis)."
The chapter serves about 17,000 people in 141 Texas counties.
The disease interrupts information from the brain to the body and stops people from moving. Approximately 400,000 Americans acknowledge having multiple sclerosis, and every week about 200 people are diagnosed. Worldwide, the disease may affect 2.5 million individuals, according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
The 150-mile ride begins at 7:30 a.m. at the AT&T Center and after an overnight stay at Coastal Bend College in Beeville, cyclists start the final leg of the tour at 7:30 a.m. Sunday, ending at the Texas State Aquarium.
Valero also is sponsoring another athletic event Sunday: Valero Harbor Half Marathon and Relay, which includes the H-E-B Kids Marathon. About 350 adults and 175 children have preregistered to benefit Junior Achievement of the Coastal Bend.

The Joy of Sex and Blogging
Dec 15th
I was in my favorite used book store this week and saw "The Joy of Sex." You know, I've always been too embarrassed to even pick that thing up in public but I did start thinking about this element of "joy." That's a word that has been a big part of my life but it hasn't always been that way. With the fresh start of a new year upon us, I thought this story might give you some energy and inspiration …
About 14 years ago, I was fortunate to attend a masters degree program for applied behavioral sciences led by a wonderful man named Robert Crosby. He is the closest thing to a human Yoda I have known.
Although I loved the program, it was just one more thing piled onto an overwhelming schedule. I was raising two active kids, surviving an intense career overseeing global brand initiatives, and was being consumed by a charity project that had under-delivered on the resources I had been promised. Now I had to deal with classwork and a thesis too. The stress and anxiety were taking a toll mentally and physically. Even getting away didn't seem to help. It would take me at least two days to start to wind down.
Somehow this situation came up in a lunch conversation with Bob. He just shook his head and looked disappointed in me. I felt a little defensive. "Well," I said,, "Isn't being stressed part of life these days? If you aren't feeling anxiety all of the time, then what DO you feel?" He looked at me with his wise blue eyes and without hesitation replied, "joy."
This really knocked me off center. I didn't know how to respond because I had never even considered this as a possibility before. What would it be like to live a life where your predominant feeling is joy? From that moment on, I wanted to find out.
This one conversation inspired me to re-evaluate what I was doing — and why I was doing it — on a daily basis. To live in joy. Isn't that a wonderful possibility?
As I approached new decisions in my life, I would filter options based on whether they would create more joy or less joy. I discovered that many of my decisions had been toxic. Something had to change.
The biggest challenge was learning how to say "no," even if it hurt my career or was politically unpopular. You can probably relate! How much stress in your life is caused by getting into responsibilities you really don't have the time or passion to achieve?
I reflected that my life was dominated by sucking up to unethical people I didn't respect, spending time in endless meetings, and squeezing into the middle seat of one more delayed cross-country flight. I had a hard time approaching these activities with a joyful attitude. I wanted to have more balance with activities that brought real meaning — not just status — to my life.
So I made some changes. By trying to live in a way that enables joy, over time I have created a much simpler, centered, and probably healthier lifestyle. I'm a work in progress and still have my irritable days like everyone else (even Bob!) but at least I'm self-aware and mindfully self-correcting.
Here is something that creates an incredible amount of joy: blogging. If you have been a regular reader here you probably already sense that.
Sometimes I KNOW something I write is going to make you think and delight you. I can't wait to publish, can't wait to see what you have to say about it. Writing for you, tending your comments and really getting to know you is the best job I have ever had. Even when you disagree — maybe even take me on – I just smile and think, "Yeah, you tell 'em. Way to be strong."
We're all in this together. Yes, we want to {grow} but maybe we can also do it in a way that leans toward joy. Thank you for being a very, very big part of the joy in my life!
Now … maybe I should go back and buy that book when nobody's looking : )
Tell me now … how are focusing on joy in your life?

Wikileaks: Truth and Consequences
Dec 12th
The Wikileaks controversy has been weighing heavily on my mind and heart. I can't imagine a more complex or emotional web-related issue to consider.
I'm conflicted. As a former journalist I value the role of the press as a checks-and-balance in a free society. With the declining resources available through traditional news media, it's crucial that new media models somehow fill the void. And Wikileaks has undoubtedly exposed some areas of true corruption.
I also appreciate the important and courageous role of the whistle-blower as a soldier against injustice.
But whether you consider Wikileaks and its editor Julian Assange heroic or evil, there some questions that will impact us all …
Will leaks enable peace and political reform or impede it? The prospect of being WikiLeaked will turn nations inward; open sharing of information between countries will decrease. Centralization of secrets, rather than any kind of improved transparency, will be the result of uncensored leaks. Progressive work in the name of peace just got more difficult it seems. WikiLeaks may be a temporary victory for transparency but will it result in real reform or heightened secrecy?
What ethical guidelines should be observed? The new web mandate seems to be "publish because you can." True journalists are conditioned to live with strict codes of conduct to help guard the integrity of the institution and the fact-gathering process. Never mind civility or common sense. What about basic human morality? Even if you despised a cause or a government, could you personally make a decision to reveal information that could cost an innocent human life?
Shouldn't some secrets remain secret? Exposing corruption is beneficial. Exposing gossip and information that simply embarrasses is sensational. Publicizing secrets that jeopardize national security could actually be corrosive to freedom, diplomacy and democracy. I know this opens up a whole new debate — who decides what should be a secret?
Isn't morality absolute? For a moment, go back to September 11, 2001. Wherever you were in the world, you probably experienced deep sadness, shock and horror. Would you feel any differently if Wikileaks shared secrets about America's operations against Al Quaeda on Sept. 12, 2001? Is patriotism a matter of timing? Is morality?
What happens when Wikileaks applies to all of us? It's fine to debate these developments when they involve a third party you will never know but would you feel the same way if you and your family were caught up in the issue? The implications of uncensored publication of "secrets" is profound. It's fashionable to criticize the U.S. government, but what happens when the leak occurs in your own company?
I've been in business a long time. I've led teams in the negotiation of multi-billion-dollar contracts and I know that working a high-pressure deal with stakes that enormous can be ugly. It involves diplomacy in every sense of the word. Sometimes we hate what our customers put us through and internal documents and recorded conversations may even reflect that sentiment. In the heat of battle, we may say things in private that would embarrass us in public.
Are internal company documents — that have nothing to do with corruption – fair game for public consumption, too? Would it be OK for me to publish private documents that would embarrass you, destroy business relationships, jeopardize your company … and maybe even end your career and family?
There is a direct parallel between this scenario and what is happening through Wikileaks today. After all, much of the material that WikiLeaks has published has had little to do with revealing "unethical behavior" in governments and corporations. It's voyeurism.
What is this really all about any way? The first suspect arrested from the ensuing cyber-war that erupted after the arrest of Assange was a 16-year-old hacker. Was this boy a freedom fighter or is it more likely that he was just looking for any excuse to display his considerable skills to hack into a government site? Is Wikileaks an important evolution in creating institutional transparency or is it just another place for Facebook cyber-bullies to get a thrill? Is this about political reformation or global fame and fortune for Julian Assange?
What is the "check" against Wikileaks? While the threat of leaked documents might provide a check against corruption, what is the balance against a lawless Internet to wield power that might legitimately jeopardize lives and national security?
I know I haven't provided any answers … but that's why you're here. Are you conflicted as I am, or do you have an idea of where this will lead? The debate is yours. All views are welcomed in the comment section …
20 of the all-time best Twitter bios
Dec 9th
Twitter biographies might be the ultimate creative-writing challenge. You have 160 characters to spin your personal story! Here are 20 of the best Twitter bios that caught my eye and stole my heart. Enjoy!
A mum and a wife with a really cool day job…
I apologise in advance.
Recommended by 4 out of 5 people that recommend things.
Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with, and then the different branches of arithmetic — Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.
Naturally and artificially flavoured
Just some chick bitching about her effed up life and stuff…
I was born. When I was 11 I got my first computer. Then I started writing funny tweets. That's still what I am doing. The end.
I am a sample size of one, not statistically significant, nor representative.
Smart ass blogging mom. Its all about me, really.
An ounce of perception – a pound of obscure.
I talk like a baby and I never pay for drinks.
I love my husband, my dogs, all things marketing, three-day weekends, high-heels, reading, running, knitting, sushi, wine, long walks on the beach…wait, what?
I am an actor and a writer and I co-created SoulPancake and my son, Walter.
Spreading smiles like they're herpes
My life was changed by a train.
Nothing more than a man who cared enough to try
I'm the illegitimate love-child of Strategy and Creativity. Now neither parent admits to having me…
It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.
Bald. Unreliable. Easily distracte
The only person on Twitter who doesn't claim to be a social media guru.

Wednesday, 28 October 2009 14:57
William Reed
Labels do matter.

African Americans consumer power can help change Africa. African Americans' buying power exceeds $900 billion. Blacks' apparel purchases total $20 billion each year.

Friday, 23 October 2009 16:55
Standing with people trying to get back on their feet and find work, Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak last week called on Congress to quickly extend federal unemployment benefits for Minnesotans.

(Plan Your Career) Glasses or contacts? As interviewing revs up, candidate concerns get back to the basics
Friday, 23 October 2009 15:07
Julie Desmond
Wendy has an interview Thursday, and can't stop obsessing over details. It was there on her resume, detail-oriented, but who knew how accurate that could be? As the economy brightens and companies gear up to hire, more candidates are finding themselves in a quandary about interviewing. It's been so long, they say. And everything has changed since the last time I looked, they say. The most important factor in an interview is comfort level.

(Plan Your Career) What are you working for?
Monday, 19 October 2009 17:30
Julie Desmond
Hunting for hats and gloves last week (October?) I was reminded of a friend who might be coming up short in the winter clothes column this fall. This family was driving by an apartment complex and saw fire trucks, ambulances and many, many residents: adults, children, infants and grandparents standing outside in mid-MN-winter, watching everything they owned burn to the ground. Some were in stocking feet. Few had jackets or hats. And it was cold. This friend and her family wheeled back to the apartment complex and the parents threw their coats, hats and mittens to the residents. The children followed the parents' lead and handed their jackets and boots out through the car window.

Taxpayers: Tax deduction for vehicle purchases
Friday, 16 October 2009 17:36
The "Cash for Clunkers" program for new cars may have ended, but the IRS wants to remind taxpayers that many people might overlook another special break available. If you buy a new vehicle this year, there's a special federal tax deduction available that can help you save money, in some cases hundreds of dollars. This tax break will allow people who buy a new vehicle in 2009 to deduct the sales and excise taxes they pay when they file their tax return next year. The tax deduction is available on the 2009 federal tax return even for those who claim the standard deduction.

How many Black Americans are actually buying into rants against the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now? By now most Blacks have heard of ACORN and some are involved in bogus babble defaming an organization that has demonstrated positive intent toward communities where we live. Before Blacks join chattering classes against ACORN, its work on our behalf should be considered.

Bright colors, clean lines and contemporary artwork give this hotel a hip, fashionable feel. Rooms have hardwood plank floors, decor in muted tones of gray, black and beige, accented with orange or citrus yellow pillows and textiles. (The room numbers are boldly stenciled top-to-bottom on the doors.) The soundproofing is up to the challenge of the location, dead center in the heart of Barcelona, on the heavily trafficked artery connecting Plaça Catalunya and Plaça de la Universitat.

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Jazz this past July for 3 nights. It was a great hotel in the perfect location. Everything was within walking distance as well as public transportation (the metro was steps away.) The staff was very kind and helpful. The hotel has a wonderful rooftop pool and bar with spectacular views. We would start our evening out with a visit to the roof to catch the sun go down, it was great. The rooms were also clean and spacious.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again.

Must like a man with a sense of humor
I'm an easy going professonal with a sarcastic sense of humor. I've lived abroad and grew up in western Canada so it's a fair assumption that I enjoy travelling. As much as I'm independant it would be nice to find someone with a good personality that can carry a conversation. By the way I tend to be more attracted to women a little younger than me but most of the responses I've received are from women a little older. So I've altered my age a little bit to weed out the older crowd. I just turned 40 but the only thing 40 about me is what it says on my drivers license. I'm definitely young at heart, and in excellent shape. Working out is a part of who I am and it would be something an ideal partner would enjoy as well. I grew up in the outdoors so I enjoy getting out as much as I can in the summer but I also like sitting back and enjoying a bottle of wine, trying a new restaurant, and meeting new people.
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Basketball, Cycling, Football, Golf, Hockey, Inline skating, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish
Apart from some of my favorite European cities Prague, Rome, and Amsterdam the place where I seem to be most comfortable is at the beach.
My musical interests are diverse and I like all sorts of foods, particularly Thai and Japanese. I typically have opinions on just about everything so a good discussion on economics or world events is something that interests me.
I'm up for just about anything. I love adventure so travelling is a favorite of mine but also a day at the beach, sporting event or just getting out for a nice dinner or a few drinks.
Unfortunately it happened to be a book that talks about the collapse of the world economy. I can't remember the name however.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- The family of an Oregon teen is seeking nearly $300,000 in a federal civil rights lawsuit that alleges the boy was bullied and beaten by another high school student.
The lawsuit filed against the Sherwood, Ore., School District and the family of the other boy contends school administrators and that boy's parents knew he was a bully in middle school but didn't intervene.
The filing says the plaintiff, then 14, inadvertently bumped into a 15-year-old student in 2009 at Sherwood High School. Lawyer Steven McCarthy contends that contact led to bullying and harassment, ending in an unprovoked attack that broke the younger boy's nose and knocked out a front tooth.
The Washington County district attorney's office says the older boy was found guilty of fourth-degree assault.
The Oregonian reports that (http://bit.ly/rsEFsQ) neither Sherwood district officials nor the older boy's parents could be reached for comment Friday.

I still remember you. There was beauty within you that was even greater that your outer loveliness.
While we were friends I dreamed about being your lover. And when we became lovers I looked forward to the day when our love would grow into something that would last for the rest of our lives.
But that day would never come. Before it could get here, you were gone.
You are still beautiful in my memories, and in my imagination. You smile your lovely smile at me from the many pictures I still have of you. I hear your voice talking to me in my dreams. My dreams of you are always good ones.
And I still miss you. But I know that it won't always be this way, because one day we will be together again, forever.
You are more beautiful to me now than ever.

There are also occasional reports of its presence in terrestrial habitats such as mosses and soils (Thompson and Corliss, 1958; Foissner et al., 2002).

I am an avid daikaiju fan, my favorites being Mothra and Godzilla. I spend most of my free time hanging out with friends or on tumblr, where I reblog about social justice, animal welfare, the environment, daikaiju, and lately, The Legend of Korra.

About Me:
I play short-stop for the Southwestern University softball team. I like to take and develop black and white photographs. I enjoy being physically active and like to play volleyball, basketball or any sport if my friends are also playing with me. I love listening to music, mostly Rap, Hip-hop and R&B, but I find myself listening to a wide range. I like reading poetry in quiet places and drinking hot tea. One day I hope to provide quality health care to those who need it but cannot afford it. I want to use my skills and talents to help where I am needed, even if that means moving to an isolated village. My favorite colors are blue and orange. My favorite things to eat are cheese and chocolate (not together). And my favorite animal is the penguin.
