A cooling mechanism within an integrated circuit includes an internal pump for circulating thermally conductive fluid within closed loop channels. The cooling channels are embedded within an integrated circuit die, such as in interlevel dielectric layers between metal levels. The channels are formed by engineering deposition of a layer to line trenches and form continuous voids along the trenches. Exemplary heat pumps comprise cavities, formed in communication with the channels, covered by piezoelectric actuators. Preferably, the actuators are wired to act in sequence as a peristaltic pump, circulating the fluid within the channels. The channels are positioned to carry heat from active devices within the integrated circuit, and a heat sink carries heat from the die.

The present invention relates generally to the cooling of integrated circuits, and more particularly to a MEMS heat pump and cooling channels for cooling integrated circuits.
Today's personal computers (PCs) and workstations are experiencing a rapid growth of accelerated clocking and computational speeds. PC clock speeds have progressed from the Intel Corporation 486™ microprocessor speeds of 60 and 90 MHz, to the present Pentium III™ clock speeds in excess of 600 MHz. Moore's Law generally predicts a doubling of computing power and circuit complexity every year and a half or so.
The downside corollary to Moore's Law, however, is that with doubling the number of devices in an integrated circuit (IC) consequently raises the amount of heat generated requiring dissipation. As an integrated circuit drives current between transistors it consumes power, producing waste heat that eventually transfers outward through the chip from the surface of the die. Generally, a PC chip designed for commercial use can withstand up to 150� C. Exceeding that limit, however, will cause the chip to make errors in its calculations, or perhaps fail completely.
Current solutions in heat dissipation for chips include heat spreaders, heat sinks and fans. Heat spreaders, which generally are made of a tungsten-copper alloy and are placed directly over a chip, have the effect of increasing the chip's surface area, allowing more heat to be vented upward. Similarly, heat sinks spread the heat upward through fins or folds, which are vertical ridges or columns that allow heat to be conducted in three dimensions—length, width, and height, as opposed to the two-dimensional length and width of heat spreaders.
Fans within a computer housing can further aid heat dissipation from the chip or heat sink surface by convection. The amount of heat a fan dissipates away from a chip depends on the volume of air the fan moves, the ambient temperature, and the difference between the chip temperature and the ambient temperature.
The miniaturizing of integrated circuits have generally allowed for a reduction of operating voltages, resulting in lower heat production. However, chip shrinkage also means that heat-generating devices are packed closer together. Thus, the "power density" or the amount of heat concentrated at particular spots across the chip may begin to climb. As a consequence, heat is generated faster than it can be dissipated as higher clock speeds are demanded.
For example, PCs with a 486™ microprocessor drew generally 12 to 15 watts, primarily concentrated in the processor. A power supply with an embedded fan was typically sufficient to circulate air and cool the inside of the PC chassis, while a passive heat sink could cool the processor. On the other hand, Pentium™ processors from Intel Corporation consumed about 25 watts, thus requiring more cooling means than the passive heat sink for the processor alone. Similarly, the Pentium II™ processor consumes about 40 watts, while future processors like the 64-bit Merced™ may consume up to 65 watts. Other transistor-laden components must also contend with increasing heat generation: add-on cards; chipsets; graphics chips; and high-performance dynamic random access memory (DRAM).
There is, consequently, a need for improved heat dissipation from integrated circuits.
These and other needs are satisfied by several aspects of the present invention.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention a cooling system is provided for an integrated circuit. The system comprises a pump that circulates fluid within the integrated circuit. Desirably, the fluid carries heat from regions of heat generation to regions outside the integrated circuit.
In particular, Miniaturized Electro-Mechanical Structure (MEMS) technology is applied to create a miniature electromechanical pump within the chip. The illustrated pump comprises a piezoelectric actuator formed over a cavity in a structural layer. In other arrangements, a MEMS structure formed externally can be placed within the cavity, wired for operation, and sealed within the cavity. The cavity is in fluid communication with fluid-filled channels embedded within the integrated circuit.
The channels are formed, in the preferred embodiments, by etching trenches in a desired pattern, followed by lining the trenches by deposition. The deposition is engineered to create a continuous air gap along the trenches, and the cavity is opened to communicate with this air gap. Desirably, the air gap forms a closed loop including the cavity. After formation of the pump, these channels are then filled with fluid, such as argon, helium or other thermally conductive fluid, and the channels are sealed, such as by lamination of the piezoelectric actuator over the cavity.
In operation, the pump circulates fluid within the channels and preferably carries heat away from heat generating integrated devices, such as fast switching transistors in a logic circuit of a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chip. In the illustrated embodiment, the channels communicate the heat outwardly from these buried devices, and a heat sink, such as a conventional copper plate, communicates heat away from the die. Moreover, a series of pumps can be arranged in sequence along the channels, and operated in sequence to serve collectively as a peristaltic pump.
These and further aspects of the invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description and the attached drawings, which are meant to illustrate and not to limit the invention, and wherein:
As noted in the "Background" section above, the trend in integrated circuit fabrication is to further miniaturize devices, condensing larger numbers of transistors in smaller regions. As devices become smaller and more powerful, heat generated by device switching and current driving of more densely packed transistors continues to rise. Various solutions have been implemented in response to the cooling needs of heat-generating devices.
Solutions such as heat spreaders, heat sinks and fans have all aided in cooling such heat-generating devices. Such solutions were generally effective in cooling earlier generation chips. However, as integrated circuits become more and more dense, present cooling measures by external means will soon be ineffective. Furthermore, existing trends dictate that other transistor-laden devices, aside from microprocessors, will similarly require cooling means. Devices such as chipsets, graphics chips, and high-performance DRAM are similarly generating enough heat to warrant their own cooling means in order to avoid computation errors and other general device failures.
It is an object of the present invention to provide cooling means for heat-generating integrated circuits. In the preferred embodiment, an embedded cooling feature for integrated circuits comprises a Miniaturized Electro-Mechanical Structure (MEMS) heat pump in communication with interconnected cooling channels.
MEMS is a relatively new field which exploits existing microelectronics fabrication technology to create complex machines with micron feature sizes. These machines can have many functions, including sensing, communication and actuation.
The mechanical actuation of a MEMS heat pump of the illustrated embodiment effectively circulates a fluid, preferably a gas, through cooling channels, promoting heat energy transfer by forced convection. The cooling channels function as conduits for the circulating fluid that serves as a heat-transferring medium. Generally, heat is absorbed by the fluid near heat-generating devices, carried along with the fluid in the channels, and released to heat sinks leading out of the chip.
A heat sink is preferably provided to direct the heat energy away from the die 100. In the preferred embodiment, a heat sink or heat conductive plate 130 (see
It is another object of the present invention to create cooling channels for an integrated circuit by controlling a thin film thickness across a surface topography. The cooling channels preferably contain a fluid that is thermally conductive and has a high specific heat capacity, thus promoting efficient energy transfer to and from the fluid by conduction and transfer along the channels by convection.
The network of cooling channels is by engineering a deposition process to produce continuous voids while lining trenches. Generally, it is desirable for thin films to obtain good step coverage or conformal coverage, wherein equal film thickness exists over all surface topography regardless of its slope (i.e., vertical and horizontal surfaces). However, it is preferable in the illustrated embodiment to engineer a non-conformal thin film. A non-conformal thin film can be realized by physical vapor deposition (PVD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD), as is well known in the art.
Fabrication of Cooling Channels
Within the layer 65, the trench 30 is defined by a top opening 38, bottom corners 36, top corners 32 and a surrounding planar surface 34. The trenches 30 of the preferred embodiment preferably range from about 0.05 μm to 20 μm deep and about 0.1 μm to 10 μm wide, more preferably about 0.2 μm to 5 μm deep and about 0.5 μm to 2 μm wide, and most preferably about 0.5 μm to 2 μm deep and about 0.8 μm to 1.2 μm wide.
At the same time, a larger cavity 70 (
Referring to
The wafer with trenches 30 of the preferred embodiment is introduced into a CVD chamber with a chamber pressure range preferably between about 5 Torr and 10 Torr, more preferably between about 6 Torr and 9 Torr. The temperature range within the process chamber is preferably between about 300� C. and 450� C., more preferably between about 325� C. and 425� C., most preferably between about 350� C. and 400� C.
A silicon source gas such as silane (SiH4) is flowed in the preferred process chamber at a rate of between about 50 sccm and 300, more preferably between about 80 sccm and 200 sccm. Additionally, a carbon precursor, such as methane (CH4), is generally used for the CVD growth of SiC. In the preferred embodiment, CH4 is used as the carbon precursor, and is flowed at a rate of between about 50 sccm and 300, more preferably between about 80 sccm and 200 sccm.
Deposition conditions can be controlled to generally deposit the sealant layer 15 at the top corners 32 at a faster rate than at the bottom corners 36 (see
After fabrication of an initial level of cooling channels 50, subsequent layers, such as BPSG, are deposited over the initial layer as the integrated circuit is fabricated, typically in the course of metallization or "back-end" processing. Depending upon the circuit design, the process of etching trenches 30 and depositing sealant layers 15 can be repeated as the layers of the integrated circuit are built up until a desired network of cooling channels is created.
In a typical DRAM fabrication, where a plurality of dies are simultaneously formed on a single large substrate (e.g., 200 mm or 300 mm silicon wafer), at least the steps described up to this point are preferably conducted prior to cutting the substrate into a plurality of dies. Optionally, die cutting can be performed prior to completion of heat pumps, as described below.
Fabrication of MEMS Heat Pumps
It is a further object of the preferred embodiment to provide a circulation means for a fluid that will fill the cooling channels 50. A pump, fan or other circulator is desired to circulate a fluid through the cooling channels 50, enhancing cooling of the integrated circuit.
A heat pump with micron feature sizes is most desirable for it to be effectively incorporated within an integrated circuit. In the preferred embodiment, a MEMS circulator or pump communicates with the network of cooling channels 50. Micro Electro-Mechanical Structures (MEMS) are built by a relatively new technology that exploits an existing microelectronics infrastructure to create mechanical structures on such a micro-scale.
With reference to
As noted above, the cavity 70 is preferably formed simultaneously with the trenches 30. Accordingly, the sealant layer 15 coats the cavity 70 walls. However, the much wider cavity 70 has a low aspect ratio. Accordingly, the cavity 70 remains open while the sealant 15 pinches off and encloses the channels 50.
The circulator or MEMS heat pump of the preferred embodiment is formed at the cavity 70 described above. The MEMS heat pump comprises a flexible membrane, preferably a piezoelectric membrane that, when actuated, effectively pumps a fluid through the cavities 70 and interconnected cooling channels 50. In other arrangements, the heat pump can resemble a fan, vibrator or other agitator that is externally micromachined and placed within the cavity to cause circulation of fluid during operation.
Methods for the formation of flexible membranes for pump actuation are known by those skilled in the micro-machining art. For example, a method for the formation of a silicon-based micropump is described in the paper, "A Novel Micromachined Pump Based On Thick-Film Piezoelectric Actuation," by Michael Koch et al., Sensors and Actuators A70 (1998), pp. 98–103, (hereinafter "Koch et al."), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. The actuation principle of the exemplary pump relies on the flexure of a screen-printed piezoelectric lead zirconium titanate (PZT) layer on a large-scale silicon membrane.
Referring to
A first conductive layer 143, is deposited above the oxide layer 142. The first conductive layer or bottom electrode 143 comprises any suitable conductive material that can serve as a piezoelectric actuator's electrode in a thickness that remains flexible. Typical electrode metals include aluminum and copper. A piezoelectric layer 144, is formed over the first conductive layer 143. The piezoelectric layer 144 of the illustrated embodiment comprises lead zirconium titanate (PZT). A second conductive layer 145 is formed over the piezoelectric layer 144. The second conductive layer 145 can be any suitable conductor, typically metal, as discussed above with respect to the first conductive layer 143. An exemplary top electrode 145 comprises a 0.5 milli-inch to 5 milli-inch copper foil laminated or epoxied over the PZT 144.
This stack of layers (141, 142, 143, 144 and 145) is patterned (e.g., by photolithography) and etched to isolate a plurality of piezoelectric actuators 147. The individual actuators 147 are made slightly larger than the cavity 70 to allow for placement, such as by pick and place machines, and sealing over the cavity 70. Such lamination can be conducted prior to or after cutting the substrate (e.g., silicon wafer) into a plurality of dies. Together with the cavities 70, the actuators 147 define a plurality of heat pumps 150.
In the course of assembly and sealing of the channels 50, a heat transfer medium, preferably comprising a thermally conductive fluid having a high specific heat capacity, is introduced into the cooling channels 50. Openings to the cooling channels are formed and the workpiece on which the integrated circuit is formed is subjected to the fluid (preferably a gas) while the openings are sealed. Preferably, an inert fluid 25, more preferably a thermally conductive noble gas (e.g., Ar, He, Kr, or Xe) is utilized to fill the cooling channels 50, avoiding unwanted reactions with the process environment and semiconductor layers. Methods for filling cavities or micro-pumps with fluids has been described in "A Piezoelectric Micropump based on Micromachining of Silicon," by H. T. G Van Lintel et al., Sensors and Actuators, 15 (1988), pp. 153–167, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
In the preferred embodiment, the inert fluid 25 is introduced through an opening, preferably through the cavity 70. The MEMS heat pump 150 of
A resultant plurality of MEMS heat pumps 150 are preferably arranged and wired in an array to enable pumping the fluid 25 peristaltically (i.e., the fluid 25 is forced onward by the sequential, wavelike contractions of the arrayed heat pumps 150), as will be appreciated from a discussion of the operation, set forth below. The skilled artisan will readily appreciate that each actuator 147 is preferably also wired for operation in the course of lamination. In particular, the electrode layers 143, 145 are preferably electrically connected to a voltage source and to circuitry that times operation of pumps in an array, as described below with respect to
A passivation layer 149 is desirably deposited over the die 100 after formation of the actuators 147. The passivation layer 149, preferably comprising an insulating barrier such as silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride, is desirably deposited by CVD in a manner that protects the formed piezoelectric actuators 147 from damage. The passivation layer 149 also electrically isolates the piezoelectric actuators 147 from one another and from adjacent electronics. The passivation layer can be formed as part of the laminate, but is more preferably deposited over the entire die after lamination.
Exemplary Operation
On the other hand,
With reference to
In the illustrated embodiment,
With reference to
The heat sink 130 is preferably made of a high thermal conductivity material, such as copper, and preferably covers a large fraction of the overall integrated circuit 100 area, preferably greater than about 50 percent, more preferably greater than about 80 percent of the overall integrated circuit 100 area. Also, the thickness of the heat sink 130 is preferably between about 1 μm and 20 μm, more preferably between about 5 μm and 10 μm. In the preferred embodiment, the heat sink 130 is aligned with and laminated to a surface of the integrated circuit die 100. The heat sink 130 is bonded to the surface of the die 100 by an epoxy 135, which is also thermally conductive and provides thermal communication between the die 100 and the heat sink 130.
The cooling channels 50 and the MEMS heat pump(s) 150 thus preferably circulate a heat transfer medium, promoting a more efficient cooling of an integrated circuit by forced convection. Advantageously, the preferred embodiment incorporates miniature circulation devices within integrated circuits. The combined effect of a cooling fluid pumping through networked cooling channels within the die 100 and a heat conductive plate that directs heat away from the die 100 effectively cools the integrated circuit die 100 during operation.
Aside from heat pump actuators, other microelectromechanical structure (MEMS) devices can be incorporated to circulate a fluid for cooling of an integrate circuit. A MEMS fan, for example, can similarly force a fluid to flow by the mechanical movement of parts. Other MEMS devices that involve mechanical movement of parts to pump, agitate, otherwise cause a fluid to move or circulate through channels can be employed in the integrated heat pump.
Although the foregoing invention has been described in terms of certain preferred embodiments, other embodiments will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art in view of the disclosure herein. Accordingly, the present invention is not intended to be limited by the recitation of preferred embodiments, but is intended to be defined solely by reference to the appended claims.

Review quote
..".[a] modern twist on a classic form....Once youngsters solve this puzzle, they'll be clamoring for the next."-Kirkus Reviews
Editorial reviews
The art of optical illusions provides creative fodder for young guessing-game enthusiasts. In this modern twist on a classic form, two unseen characters' cheerful banter provides clues to an unknown object's identity. Each tries to persuade the other to see his or her version of the picture; their interactions' brevity provide a subtle charm. "Here, look at my duck through my binoculars." "Sorry, still a rabbit." The central character in this slight story is Lichtenheld's ink, watercolor and colored-pencil art. Two laid-back, parallel rabbit ears - or a duck's bill depending on the reader's focus - serve as the dominant image against the soft blue background, occupying the center of the composition even as its context changes. Thick black outlines perfectly complement the solid illustration within; its observant single eye seamlessly appears to look in opposite directions. The images displayed are also reflected in the endpaper's billowy clouds, providing a whimsical touch. Once youngsters solve this puzzle, they'll be clamoring for the next. Now is that a brachiosaurus or an anteater? (Picture book. 5-8) (Kirkus Reviews)

urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children are caused
by bacteria that enter the
urethra and travel up the
urinary tract. Bacteria that normally live in the
large intestine and are present in stool (feces) are
the most common cause of infection. Sometimes bacteria traveling through the
blood or
lymphatic system to the
urinary tract are the cause of kidney or bladder
The ways that bacteria buildup can occur
Problems with the structure or function of the urinary
tract commonly contribute to UTIs in infants and young children. Problems that

As words can only begin to give a sense of who...
As words can only begin to give a sense of who I am, hopefully these will be enough to capture your curiosity: I'm very bright, a good communicator, interesting, fun, funny, witty, kind and honest (I always return lost wallets whenever I find them). I have a strong sense of ethics and always try to be fair and sensitive to others. Close friends have told me that I'm warm, compassionate, intuitive, open, unpretentious and down to earth. Guess I could be described as a good balance of head and heart. I constantly look for the interesting and out of the ordinary aspects of life and especially love great conversation and sharing thoughts and feelings. I love the theater, films, yoga, all types of music (especially jazz), the ocean, most outdoor nature experiences, museums, art and animals (mostly anything with four legs). I'm also generally well behaved in public. I love to sing and have been told I have a beautiful voice (all humility aside). An avid reader of just about anything interesting, I'll try most anything at least once (well, most of the time anyway). Well-traveled, I've been just about around the world especially all over India and Asia. Just as a side note, little kids and animals seem to like me a lot. I'm 5 foot 8 and a half inches tall (this is as close to 6 feet as I can manage), in good shape, health-oriented but not compulsive about it and spiritually inclined. Have short curly hair, bright blue eyes and my dentist says I have really great teeth. People are always amazed to find out my age. Politically, I'm very progressive in my thinking, and really do try and maintain a degree of composure around Republicans or Tea Party people, but think most are terribly misguided. Culturally Jewish, but Buddhism seems to be the only path that makes any sense to me, and I try to live accordingly. I believe in kindness, being of service, practicing lots of compassion and living mindfully. About my match: Intelligent, great sense of humor, kind, compassionate, physically fit. Open and communicative. What has worked well for me in the past is being with a woman who is somewhat independent, verbal, romantic, tactile, kind and empathic; someone who can talk openly when problems arise, and most importantly, someone who has a playful spirit and an active mind.

It is with deepest regret we learned of the passing on May 17, of Bettie Sellers, former Poet Laureate of Georgia.
Read more about Bettie Sellers here.
I met Bettie, loved her poetry and bought her books when I first came to Hayesville, NC in 1995. She was a wonderful speaker and an avid supporter of the Byron Herbert Reece Society in north Georgia. Her voice can be heard on the video played at the Reece center in Union County.
Our condolences to her family.

Rumor: Wii U less powerful than PS3/Xbox 360 – will it matter?
According to the latest reports, Nintendo's Wii U may not currently be the powerhouse console first made out to be. Initial reports put the Wii U as being twice as powerful as the Xbox 360. Apparently, this may no longer be the case due to some sacrifices made to the console.
As reported by GI.biz, various developers that wished to remain anonymous, have come forward to reveal that the current version of the Wii U in their hands are not up to the same level as the PS3 or the 360 in terms of graphics.
One developer stated, "No, it's not up to the same level as the PS3 or the 360. The graphics are just not as powerful."
Another developer agreed, "Yeah, that's true. It doesn't produce graphics as well as the PS3 or the 360. There aren't as many shaders, it's not as capable. Sure, some things are better, mostly as a result of it being a more modern design. But overall the Wii U just can't quite keep up."
With the expensive tablet-like controller for the Wii U the costs for manufacturing the console has gone up. Nintendo may have had to scale back on the CPU, GPU and RAM of the Wii U to include the tablet controller for a reasonable retail price.
Some developers believe that the PS3/PS Vita combo is more powerful that the Wii U with the tablet controller and easier to program for as well.
You can do everything with that combo that you can with the Wii U, and more.
This may very well be the case but the PS Vita plus the PS3 will set you back around $500, while the Wii UI may cost half of that. Graphical power may not be such as big deal for Nintendo, as the company has always focused more on innovation even during the SNES vs Sega genesis days.

Hispanic Icons: Los Tigres del Norte
by Monika Fabian | October 9, 2013
Los Tigres del Norte are the "boss of bosses." The Mexico-born, San Jose-based quintet has earned the nickname los ídolos del pueblo ("the idols of the people"), but "The Tigers of the North" are also the people's poets, advocates and historians. That's because no group has captured the migrant Latino experience with as much earnest dignity and honesty as Los Tigres del Norte.
For more than four decades, the ensemble-cum-institution founded by the Hernandez family has penned corridos, rancheras, cumbias and ballads about love, migration, drug trafficking and bicultural and binational identity. And in that sense, the norteño of Los Tigres is analogous to the best of salsa and hip-hop: It gives voice to the realities and experiences of society's unheard. So as we continue celebrating the accomplishments of Latinos in the U.S., let's honor these chroniclers of el pueblo.

Glee: The Music, The Rocky Horror Glee Show (EP)
by Glee Cast
Released: Oct 2010
Label: Columbia
The Glee kids doing the time warp is a no-brainer. After all, this group prides itself on its campy choral conversions of pop culture and its status as the school "freaks." Naturally, their Rocky delivers: Finn and Rachel swoon through "Damn It, Janet"; Mercedes belts out a fabulous "Sweet Transvestite"; and even OCD counselor Emma Pillsbury gets in on the game, cooing a cheeky, dirty "Touch A" (guess that wouldn't be exactly appropriate for the kids to sing). They're all a bit too squeaky clean to truly pull off Rocky-level horror, but it's a pleasure to hear them fly a real freak flag.
Listen to the songs you love. Anytime, anywhere.

Cool And Still Breezy At Times
Mostly Sunny And Seasonal, Still Windy At Times
Strong Winds Across Central And Southeastern Wyoming
Cold, Dry & Windy Across Much Of Wyoming
High pressure will build over the state of Wyoming for the first half of the work week, which will keep skies mostly sunny and conditions mainly dry. The one exception will be in far northeastern portions of the state, where flurries or light snow could be possible, mainly on Tuesday and Tuesday night
Not As Cold And Windy Today, Late Snow Likely
Chance For Late Snow Across Western And Southern Wyoming
A weather system out of the northwest will cause clouds to thicken throughout the state today. Light snow will also develop in western and southern portions of the state this afternoon and evening. This will cause visibility to be reduced at times and roads to become slick and icy, especially across I-25 (Colorado state line to Wheatland), I-80 (Nebraska state line to Lyman) and US-85 (Colorado state line to LaGrange)

Tigers pitcher Casey Crosby throws live batting practice Feb. 27, 2012.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Doug Fister has been placed on the disabled list, retroactive to Tuesday, with a left side strain. Left-hander Casey Crosby will be recalled Friday to make his major league debut against the Yankees in New York. Rick Porcello will now start on Saturday evening versus the Yankees.
The same injury landed Fister on the DL earlier this season when he had to be pulled from his first start of the year at home against the Red Sox, which, coincidentally, is the last team he pitched against on Monday. He was on the shelf ...

Feature of the Month
'It was my first time abroad'
Marcel Soubrovsky Clemente, 20 years old, left São Paulo, Brazil, to go live abroad and study petroleum engineering at UAF.
Why Choosing UAF/Fairbanks?
Clemente lived all his life in Brazil, mainly in São Paulo but he traveled all around his home country. He decided to go abroad for the first time in his life about a year ago. He chose the United States. "Mainly because of my field of study: petroleum engineering," Clemente said. After researching about the different schools and places he messaged some UAF students on Facebook to make sure UAF was a good place for him and his degree.
What does he do in his study?
Clemente chose UAF because of the Petroleum Engineering program. He worked with his professor Dr. Shirish Patil to develop software to calculate the pressure inside. They built it from what the professor will need to teach his students. "The software calculates the pressure in different parts of a pipe with multiple fluids," Clemente said, "such as water, oil, gas." His professor will use the software for basic calculations in his Introduction to Petroleum Engineering, Drilling class. The software will be "in a friendly platform," Clemente said, "it will run on Windows, Mac, Linux and even smartphones."

Oksana Passed on Big Bucks to Do Oprah Interview
Mel Gibson's ex, Oksana Grigorieva, is set to spill it to Oprah Winfrey in her first TV interview since the abuse scandal broke this year. Sources tell me Oksana passed on big-money offers from various networks in order sit down with the doesn't-pay-her-guests Oprah, who I'm told made sure no topic will be off limits when they speak.
"Everyone knows Oprah doesn't pay," one TV insider tells me. "Oksana could have made big bucks from doing a tell-all with one of the networks that day. She could have made a million dollars if she's willing to tell all about her rocky relationship with Mel and explain why she recorded those infamous tapes, however it seems that she has taken the high road and will do Oprah for free."
Sources tell me one of the reasons Oksana wanted to talk with Oprah so much, apart from the fact that she is OPRAH, is that she wanted everyone to see that this has never been about the money for her. She never got paid for the leaked tapes and is sick of being portrayed as a gold digger in the media. Going on Oprah will finally let her tell her side of the story.
"She wants to make sure that her baby daughter [Lucia] can look back when she is older and be proud of her mom," a friend of the singer tells me. "Oksana did nothing wrong except fall in love with a man she didn't really know. She's not nervous about the interview. She is looking forward to it."
TV insiders tell me Oprah only agreed to do the interview for her last 25th season if no questions were off limits. Oksana and her people agreed. Other shows that were eager to get Oksana included '60 Minutes,' 'Dateline' and several networks that were offering prime-time specials.
A rep for Harpo, Winfrey's production company, told Us magazine that it was not ready to make any announcement confirming the booking at this time.

As much as I dislike Oprah she would have blown Oksana out of the water. The money is all that matters. Oksana will get far more out of Mel than the aftermath of doing Oprah would leave.

Oksana is trying too hard to make Mel look bad. Won't watch this show or anything with Oksana on it. Oksana has major issues and should be investigated more.
- Thursday 30 SeptemberBy Gina
She is probably going on Oprah for no money because her PR people told her that if she gets paid for an interview it will make her look worse than she already does.
- Thursday 30 SeptemberBy Janet
Ox, cut the crap. Winfrey is no fool. She would ask questions she knows you can't answer. So why bother.
- Thursday 30 SeptemberBy Leelou
Taking the high road because Oprah doesnt pay for interviews? I dont think this make Oksana noble. She has dug herself into a hole and is trying to get herself out by doing this. Trying to prove she isnt after money, when frankly, she is. I know I dont know these people or anything but all her actions prove she is after money. Claiming she turned down a 15 million dollar settlement cause she didnt realize Gibson had unsupervised visits is bullsh*t. She let him see the baby for months unsupervised after these alleged incidents and she stands to get more money if she drags him through the mud and does interviews. I say alleged cause now I am not sure whats even real because she changes her story every 5 seconds. Even her dentist cant get his story straight. She claims she is being based by the media...well, honey, thats your own fault. Keep your trap shut cause every time you open it another story pops out thats even more ridiculous then the last. She want people to feel sorry for her and she think Oprah will give her a change to "tell her side". Great. Another version of the life of Oksana. Wonder what she will say now.
- Monday 04 OctoberBy carole
I don't watch Oprah.
Oksana can't help her cause by going on Oprah. Although, the viewers that think Oprah is a god, will feel however Oprah want them to feel.
Have you noticed that more and more, people don't think for themselves?

The show has loopholes. I have serious problems with Aliens coming to the Earth. There's no reason why any alien species with the technology to traverse the stars would need our pesky world.
Yeah, the whole "they're here to steal our water" thing never made sense. There's millions of times more water (in the form of ice) in the Jovian moons, Kuiper Belt, scattered disk, and Oort Cloud than there is on Earth, and it's a lot easier to get to without the need to fight the gravity of both Earth and Sol. Not to mention all the ice that could be found in every other system between here and Sirius.
How about the fact that in the horrid "re-sequel" books written by the original script writer (Kenneth Johnson) he tells how after a few generations, HALF of the Earth's water has been taken by the Visitors!
I wrote a book review on Amazon:
There is roughly 326 million cubic miles (1.34 billion cubic km) of water on the Earth. The original aliens brought 50 motherships that were about 1 mile in diameter each. Individual ships could hold, at maximum, 1/20th of a cubic mile of water (assuming space needed for cargo holds, shuttle bays, engines, quarters and whatnot). Even if the aliens sent an extra MILLION ships (and that's a HUGE exaggeration) to the Earth after the original first series, they would ONLY have taken 50,000 cubic miles of water on that visit alone. While this is, indeed, a lot of water and would have caused notable climate shifts, it would not be more than a drop in the bucket in comparison to the rest of the oceans.
Even with the number of motherships I allow for, the Sirians (Visitors) would need 6,520 trips to haul ALL of it back to their star system. At a 17 year round trip (Sirius and back), it would take 55,400 years just to take
of the water on Earth. Then one would have to consider: how could the visitors do without so many ships while at war? Presumably a million ships, with--say--a crew of 20,000 each (total of 20 billion people) would be quite useful in their war against the "bug" aliens.

In each of the past two years, more than 6,000 people who felt they couldn't get a fair shake with the circuit judge assigned to their case used the state's substitution law to move to another courtroom.
It happened most frequently in criminal cases, in which a defendant's freedom is often at stake, and the rate at which the controversial law is being used so far in 2007 suggests that the total will again exceed 6,000.
In each of the state's 10 judicial districts one or two judges typically get a disproportionately higher share of substitution requests than their colleagues.
Since the law allows an automatic right to switch once without having to state a basis, looking for a common denominator behind the substitutions is a slippery exercise.
But discussions with the people most affected by the law - derisively termed "judge shopping" by those who oppose it - show that some things are clear: Judges on the receiving end often hate it; defense attorneys fervently praise it; and prosecutors grudgingly accept it.
"I think there is absolutely no reason for the law at all," said Rock County Circuit Judge James E. Welker, who has advocated abolishing it since 1993.
"It all boils down to fairness and impartiality," said Glendale defense attorney Mark Hersh, chairman of the criminal law section of the State Bar of Wisconsin.
"Not having it would remove the ability to have impartiality in certain circumstances," he said.
"I understand that defense attorneys are doing what they believe they have to do for their clients," said Milwaukee County District Attorney John T. Chisholm. "But what it does is promote a backlog of cases, and it creates a scheduling nightmare for some of our people."
Legislation pending in the state Assembly proposes a slight modification, but history suggests that any change is a long shot since several attempts to alter the law over the past 20 years have all failed.
"The state bar has consistently taken the position that we are opposed to any change," said Brookfield defense attorney Jerome Buting, former chair of the organization's criminal law section.
"There have been a few problems from time to time. But the sky hasn't fallen. It isn't broke and it doesn't need fixing," he said.
Over a good share of the last three years, defense attorneys have acted like something was broken in the courtroom occupied by Milwaukee County Circuit Judge John Siefert, filing 1,347 substitution requests between January 2005 and August 2007.
"I've always had more substitutions than other judges," said Siefert, a former Milwaukee police officer whose substitution total ballooned more than normal when he was presiding over thousands of cases for people arrested in the county for driving without a valid driver's license. "Defendants don't want to be sentenced by a former police officer, so they direct their lawyers to file for a substitution."
Waukesha County Circuit Judge Linda Van De Water, presiding over a much smaller calendar, has received 475 substitution requests over the past 2 1/2 years, far more than any of her 22 colleagues in the third judicial district.
Like Siefert, she says her background sends defendants out her door.
"I was perceived as a tough prosecutor for 10 years," said Van De Water, a former assistant district attorney. "As an administrative law judge for a year, I was involved in a lot of probation and parole revocations.
"But I sentence within the legislative guidelines, and I think my sentences are fair."
Welker, who has had a far more modest total of 156 substitution requests in the same period, suspects people avoid his courtroom because he is loath to permit adjournments and "will not be a rubber stamp on plea bargains."
"In my opinion, those are the two things that most often cause substitutions," Welker said.
Defense attorneys are reluctant to publicly state why they substitute for certain judges, but the reasons they give privately show there is much more behind the practice than being afraid of a stiff sentence.
Demeanor, legal acumen, a penchant for fining, exceeding prosecutors' sentencing recommendations in plea bargained cases and unpredictability all play roles in substitution requests.
"It's not a question that we're subbing because someone is harsh, but because they are out of step with everyone else," Hersh said. "You just want your client to get the same thing as any other client under the same circumstances.
"Some judges seem to have a personal investment in certain types of cases."
"The whole point of a plea bargain is reducing the uncertainty, the risk for a long sentence," Buting said. "A judge who has no predictability is not well suited because neither side in a case likes to negotiate if there is uncertainty."
Typically, there is more than one reason a judge receives a higher than average number of substitutions.
For example, Daniel Fay, a Waukesha attorney for the past 30 years, said he is not among the lawyers filing substitutions on Van De Water, but he has heard the gripes from those who do and there are a variety.
"There are attorneys who think she is a tougher sentencer than the other judges," Fay said. "She's got a louder bark than some of the other judges. She's not afraid to yell at clients."
Fay also said she's given harsher sentences than recommended by prosecutors after plea bargains have been reached.
"But there isn't a judge in Waukesha County who hasn't jumped deals. I've had her go under deals, and that is even more embarrassing to a defense attorney," he said
Green Lake County District Attorney Winn Collins, a member of the executive board of the Wisconsin District Attorneys Association, said the law wrongly "suggests that we don't have fair and impartial judges."
"Why do we have this law that almost presumes distrust when we have a system where we elect judges to make these critical decisions?" he remarked.

On Obama's Desk: Economy, Jobs Trump All Other Policy Priorities
While it is not unusual for Americans to prioritize domestic over foreign policy, a new survey finds strengthening the economy and improving the job situation are higher priorities today than they have been at any point over the past decade, and the recent upward trend has been steep.
Who Expects To Gain — And Lose — Under Obama
More Americans say that people like themselves will gain influence under the Obama administration than was the case for the last two incoming presidents. Many who did not vote for Obama say this as well — including pluralities of all whites and white evangelical Christians.
Hispanics and the Economic Downturn: Housing Woes and Remittance Cuts
Latinos, especially the foreign-born, are feeling the sting of the economic downturn and, in some respects, even more so than the general population.
Latino Workers in the Ongoing Recession: 2007 to 2008
The current recession has seen a small but significant decline in the percentage of Latino immigrants active in the U.S. labor force; however, the absolute number of immigrant Latinos working or seeking work still increased slightly over the last year.
Bearish Outlook Fuels Consumer Cutbacks
Nearly six-in-ten who say they are cutting back or delaying purchases report they are doing so because they worry things might get worse. Fewer than one in four say they are cutting back because their own financial situation has worsened. Lower fuel and food costs do not appear to have had a positive impact on the public so far.
Public Worried But Not Panicked About Economy
Americans are concerned about the nation's economic problems and they register the lowest level of national satisfaction ever measured in a Pew survey. But there is little indication that the nation's financial crisis has triggered public panic or despair.
Middle Class, By the Numbers
The plight of Middle Americans has been much invoked by candidates from both parties this election year. Who are these folk? Here's a self-portrait painted in statistics.
Non-Citizen Immigrant Households Suffer Sharp Decline in Income, 2006-2007
The current economic slowdown has taken a far greater toll on households headed by non-citizens than it has on the U.S. population as a whole, according to a Pew Hispanic Center analysis of new Census data.
One-in-Five and Growing Fast: A Profile of Hispanic Public School Students
The number of Latino students in public schools nearly doubled from 1990 to 2006, accounting for 60% of the total growth in school enrollments. Projections now show there will be more school-age Hispanic children than school-age non-Hispanic white children by 2050.
America's Four Middle Classes
The Top of the Class, the Satisfied Middle, the Anxious Middle and the Struggling Middle – what unites and divides the majority of Americans who call themselves "middle class."
