The present invention relates to probe stations, commonly known as package or wafer probers, used manually, semiautomatically or fully automatically to test semiconductor devices. More particularly, the invention relates to such probe stations having EMI shielded enclosures for substantially enclosing the test devices, such as those probe stations shown in commonly-owned U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,266,889 and 5,457,398 which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The probe stations shown in the foregoing patents are capable of performing both low-current and high-frequency measurements within a single shielded enclosure. However, as electrical test currents decrease, or as electrical test frequencies increase, the use of merely a single EMI shielding enclosure becomes less adequate. In the most sensitive of measurements, and particularly (although not necessarily) when guarding is employed for low current measurements as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,457,398, the choice of the shield potential is critical. Reflecting such criticality, the single shield enclosures shown in the foregoing patents have in the past been equipped with selective connectors enabling the shield potential to match that of the measurement instrumentation ground while being isolated from other connectors, or alternatively to be biased by another connector, or to be connected to AC earth ground. Usually the measurement instrumentation ground is preferred since it provides a "quiet" shield ideally having no electrical noise relative to the measurement instrument. However, if the shielding enclosure is exposed to EMI (such as electrostatic noise currents from its external environment), its ideal "quiet" condition is not achieved, resulting in unwanted spurious currents in the chuck assembly guard element and/or the supporting element for the test device. The effect of such currents is particularly harmful to the operation of the guard element, where the spurious currents result in guard potential errors causing leakage currents and resultant signal errors in the chuck element which supports the test device.
For high-frequency measurements, guarding is typically not employed. However, for the most sensitive of measurements, the "quietness" of the shield is still critical. For this reason, it is common practice to construct a fully shielded room, commonly known as a screen room, large enough to contain a probe station with its own separate shield enclosure, test equipment, and several operators. However, screen rooms take up a large amount of space, are expensive to build, and are ineffective with respect to noise sources within the room.
The environmental influences which ordinarily compromise the desired quiet condition of a shield are the motion of external objects at constant potential which cause spurious shield currents due to varying capacitance, and external AC voltages which cause spurious shield currents via constant capacitance. For sensitive measurements, what is needed is a truly quiet shield unaffected by such environmental influences.
Also, to reduce the need for a screen room, and provide a shield unaffected by closely adjacent environmental influences, such quiet shield structure should be compact.
The present invention satisfies the foregoing need by providing a probe station having respective inner and outer conductive shield enclosures insulated from each other, both enclosures at least partially enclosing the chuck assembly element which supports the test device, and also its associated guard element if one is provided. The outer shield enclosure, which is preferably connected either directly or indirectly to AC earth ground, intercepts the external environmental noise, minimizing its effects on the inner shield and on the chuck assembly elements enclosed by the inner shield.
Such inner and outer shield enclosures are preferably built integrally into the probe station and therefore are compact.
The foregoing and other objectives, features, and advantages of the invention will be more readily understood upon consideration of the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
An exemplary embodiment of a probe station in accordance with the present invention, indicated generally as 10 in the figures, has an electrically conductive outer enclosure 12 including a conductive raisable hinged lid 12 a electrically connected thereto. A chuck assembly 14 for supporting a test device is laterally positionable by a chuck positioner assembly having orthogonally arranged lateral X-axis and Y-axis positioners. A lateral X-axis positioner 16 has a laterally extending positioning screw (not shown) driven by an electric motor 18. The X-axis positioner 16 is partially enclosed by a conductive housing 16 a, and optionally also by flexible pleated rubber boots 16 b for accommodating positioning movements while preventing the entry and escape of dirt particles. The conductive housing 16 a is insulated from the outer enclosure 12 by respective dielectric anodized coatings on both the exterior of the housing 16 a and the interior of the enclosure 12, and is indirectly connected electrically to AC earth ground by means of conventional motor cabling and a grounded motor power supply (not shown), represented schematically in
The lateral Y-axis positioner 24 is constructed similarly to the X-axis positioner 16, and includes an outer conductive housing 24 a with optional flexible pleated rubber boots 24 b. The conductive housing 24 a is electrically connected to the housing 16 a of the X-axis positioner. The motor 26 of the Y-axis positioner 24 extends through a horizontal slot 28 (
A conventional Z-axis positioner 30, having a conductive housing 30 a electrically connected to the housing 24 a, is movable along the Y-axis by the Y-axis positioner 24. The Z-axis positioner 30 includes respective internal electric motors (not shown) which selectively reciprocate a plunger assembly 30 b vertically and rotate it through a limited range about a vertical axis in a known manner.
The outer conductive enclosure 12 is connected by a low-impedance path 32 (
Mounted atop the plunger assembly 30 b and electrically insulated therefrom by dielectric spacers 34 is a square-shaped conductive chuck shield 36 having a downwardly depending conductive cylindrical skirt 36 a. Mounted atop the chuck shield 36 and electrically insulated therefrom by dielectric spacers 38 is a conductive chuck guard element 40, which includes a peripheral cylindrical conductive guard skirt 40 a. The guard skirt 40 a peripherally surrounds a conductive chuck element 42 in spaced relation thereto. The chuck element 42 is insulated from the guard element 40 and guard skirt 40 a by dielectric spacers 44 and has a supporting surface 42 a thereon for supporting a test device during probing. Probes (not shown) are mounted on a probe ring 46, or other suitable type of probe holder, for contacting the test device when the Z-axis positioner 30 raises the supporting surface 42 a upwardly into probing position.
As shown schematically in
An electrically conductive inner shield enclosure 52, which also preferably acts as the probe station's environment control enclosure not only for purposes of EMI shielding but also for purposes of maintaining a dry and/or dark environment, is mounted by dielectric spacers 54 to the interior of the outer enclosure 12 so as to be interposed between and insulated from the outer enclosure 12 and the chuck elements 40 and 42. Like the chuck shield 36, the enclosure 52 is connected to the shield of the triaxial cable 37 associated with the measurement instrumentation. A selective connector mechanism, schematically illustrated as a three-way switch 56 in
Movement of the chuck assembly 14 laterally by the X-axis and Y-axis positioners 16 and 24, respectively, is accomplished with the Z-axis positioner retracted in order to position the test device with respect to the probe or probes. During such movement, the environmental integrity of the inner enclosure 52 is maintained by means of an electrically conductive flexible wall assembly indicated generally as 58. The wall assembly 58 includes a pair of flexibly extensible and retractable pleated wall elements 58 a which are extensible and retractable along the X-axis, and a further pair of such wall elements 58 b which are flexibly extensible and retractable along the Y-axis. The outermost ends of the wall elements 58 a are electrically connected to the inner surfaces of the inner enclosure 52 by screws (not shown). The innermost ends of the wall elements 58 a are similarly connected to a rectangular metal frame 60 supported by the Y-axis positioner housing 24 a by means of brackets 62 (
As the X-axis positioner 16 moves the Y-axis positioner 24 and chuck assembly along the X-axis, it likewise moves the frame 60 and its enclosed wall elements 58 b along the X-axis as the wall elements 58 a extend and retract. Conversely, as the Y-axis positioner 24 moves the Z-axis positioner and chuck assembly along the Y-axis, the wall elements 58 b similarly extend and retract along the Y-axis.
With reference to
As a further alternative, a one-piece flexible wall assembly 80 (
As a further alternative, the inner enclosure 52 could utilize conductive or nonconductive sliding plates, such as those shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,457,398 incorporated herein by reference, in place of the flexible wall assembly 58 if the more desirable characteristics of the flexible wall assembly are not needed. As a still further alternative, unpleated flexibly extensible and retractable material could be used instead of pleated material in the wall assembly 58.
The terms and expressions which have been employed in the foregoing specification are used therein as terms of description and not of limitation, and there is no intention, in the use of such terms and expressions, of excluding equivalents of the features shown and described or portions thereof, it being recognized that the scope of the invention is defined and limited only by the claims which follow.

Bisping, Longo criticize Belfort's TRT
Chris Weidman's head trainer Ray Longo took a contrary stance in an interview with ESPN.com last week.
"I know Chris is beating the guy but why give him an advantage?" Longo said. "Why does he deserve that? All he did was abuse his body with steroids so that now he needs the exemption. It's bulls---."
In an interview with Stephie Daniels, Mchael Bisping expressed similar reservations, but added that even if Belfort is denied a TUE, he will still have the benefit of training for years while using TRT. "The Count" was one of the three losers via headkick to Belfort last year, and thus the issue is personal.
I don't really know what the commission bases those exemptions on, so I don't know if that previous positive test precludes a TUE forever, or if there's a certain time period that may have passed. I don't have those details, but I'm sure he's definitely going to try to get that exemption. You just can't deny the fact that he's been massively successful since he's been on TRT. If he wants to maintain that success, I'm sure he'll apply for an exemption certificate.
I'm sure he'll do everything by the book. It has to be for the UFC. Will he get one? I don't know. I'm not Keith Kizer. I will be watching very closely, to see how this whole thing unfolds. Will it affect him? Definitely. He hasn't fought outside of Brazil for a while now.
The thing is, coming off TRT for one fight isn't really going to make that much of a difference, because he's still going to have that excess muscle mass. He'll still be able to have that to his benefit, and those elevated levels early on in his training camp. Coming off it for one fight isn't going to kill that, especially if he eats right and trains hard. It's a bit of an unfair advantage.
I still want to fight him again, but I want to fight him clean, and long enough for the testosterone levels to come down to normal or what they should be for a man his age. I would imagine that takes about six months to a year, but again, I'm not a physician, so I don't know the exact details of all that.
If the NSAC says he can't have the exemption, they need to get him tested right now, and test him repeatedly, the same way they did with Barnett and Browne, all the way up to fight night. If they don't do that, and just test him the day of the fight, he'll just use the stuff up until three or four weeks before the fight, and then stop to get his levels down again. For Chris Weidman, who is a clean fighter, to have to come in against a guy with an unfair advantage, that's just not right.

Lay's test-crunches new flavorsBy JOSEPH PISANI
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | February 09,2013NEW YORK — The next Lay's potato chip will taste like chicken and waffles. Or cheesy garlic bread. Or Sriracha, a hot sauce often used in Thai dishes.
Lay's is letting potato chip lovers decide which one of the three will be its newest flavor. All of them will be sold at retailers nationwide starting next week. After trying them, fans have until May to vote for their favorites. The flavor with the most votes will stay on store shelves.
But if the other two flavors sell well, they may remain in stores, too, said Ann Mukherjee, chief marketing officer at Frito-Lay. "Who knows, we don't know what's going to happen." she said. "Our intent is to keep the one that people vote for."
It's the latest promotional stunt that tries to engage customers through social media and direct interaction, much as Hasbro's Monopoly did with its recent contest that ended with the addition of a cat game token and the demise of the iron.
Lay's Chicken & Waffles, Cheesy Garlic Bread and Sriracha were suggested by three people through the company's "Do Us a Flavor" campaign. A panel of chefs and flavor experts looked though about 3.8 million submissions and selected about 20 flavors to prototype. From there, the judges picked the three finalists. Mukherjee said that each dish was cooked in the test kitchen and compared with the flavored chip.
Fans will have three ways to vote for their favorites. They can do it though Lay's Facebook page, by texting "VOTE" to 24477 or through Twitter using the hashtags (hash)SaveChickenWaffles, (hash)SaveGarlicBread or (hash)SaveSriracha.
The person who submitted the winning flavor will win $1 million, or one percent of the chip's 2013 sales, whichever is more. The runners-up will win $50,000.
Although the new flavors are not supposed to hit stores until next Tuesday, some stores have started selling them. Fans have been posting images of the bags to social networks such as Instagram and Twitter. "We started shipping them," said Mukherjee. "I think some of our retailers got excited and put it out on the floor earlier."
Lay's adds about one new potato chip flavor every year, said Mukherjee. Last year it launched the Lay's Classic BLT, made to taste like the sandwich.
This is the first time in Lay's 75-year history that it has let U.S. consumers choose the company's next flavor. Lay's, which is a unit of PepsiCo Inc.'s Frito-Lay snack business, has held similar contests in other countries.
Frito-Lay first tried such a contest in the United Kingdom for its Walkers brand in 2008. Fans came up with Walkers Chilli & Chocolate and Walkers Cajun Squirrel. Builder's Breakfast, which tasted like a full bacon, sausage and eggs breakfast, won. But the flavor has since been discontinued.MORE IN National / World BusinessNike came out with a new product last Tuesday, an updated and for my feet more comfortable...

Well my favourite is a Dodo now and always will be. They're not exactly cute but the name, their appearance (I don't mean cute!!!) and it's characteristics just hook me in!
Yeah that was pretty cool
The giant wombat of australia was awesome.
I mean look at this:
Compared to this:
What just happened?
I think the first human settlers in Australia probably killed them off, as they did to many kinds of megafauna. The giant wombats died out whist the smaller wombats survived. At least I think that's what happened.
Have you seen the giant wombat skeleton in the museum?
Mine is the amazing, supreme hunter ; Velociraptor
Probably the mammoth, any type, but I'm not sure.

A Bridesmaid's Survival Guide (Because, Yes, You'll Need One)
A Bridesmaid's Survival Guide (Because, Yes, You'll Need One)
Here's exactly how to do your bridesmaid duties well while preserving your sanity, your savings and your relationship with the bride.SEE MORE
Surviving…the Bridal Shower
How to Survive the Shower: Make yourself heard.Who wants to drop $200 on a party they have no say in planning? Don't dis the other bridesmaids' ideas; offer your own.
How to Survive the Shower: Pick your battles."Keep it about the bride," says Holly Lefevre, author of The Everything Bridesmaids Book. The bride hates Mexican food? Say so. You don't like guac? Deal with it.
How to Survive the Shower: Prioritize."Don't go crazy on favors; people leave them on the table," says Stephanie Galluzzo, 27, of Hamden, Connecticut. Put your efforts toward food and games (yes, they matter!).
Surviving…the Bachelorette Party
How to Survive the Bachelorette Party: Think outside the hen-party box."You don't need to go to Vegas or strip clubs," says Lefevre. A cooking class, karaoke or sleepover can be more fun (and less clichéd).
How to Survive the Bachelorette Party: Make a privacy pact.Get the other 'maids to agree not to broadcast behavior on Twitter, YouTube or their blogs. "Remind everyone that your mom is on Facebook," suggests Sarah Cox, 28, of Boston.
How to Survive the Bachelorett Party: Just say 'no' to humiliation.There is no law requiring anyone to wear penis earrings. "Tell the others you can't pull them off like they can," says Dawn Gregory, 26, of New York City. "Or 'misplace' them."
Surviving…the Big Day
How to Survive the Wedding Day: Be the bride's BFF.Ease her nerves before the ceremony. Get her food (and a glass of champers) at the reception. But don't try to be the wedding planner. "Let the professionals do their jobs," says Lefevre.
How to Survive the Wedding Day: Have fun, but not too much fun.When you're wearing the same fuchsia gown as five other women, guests have their eyes on you, so "don't be too hands-on with your date on the dance floor," says Sharon Naylor, author of Bridesmaid on a Budget. And watch the bottomless glass of wine, she adds: "Save it for the after-party."

Owens Corning committed to giving back to communityWritten by Danielle Stanton | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Millions of Chinese children have been left behind by parents who leave their rural communities to work in cities.
These children need help and Owens Corning has stepped in with employee volunteers to build eight kitchens that will feed an estimated 5,500 kids.
Owens Corning is dedicated to giving back to communities through employee volunteerism and financial and product donations, said Don Rettig, president of Owens Corning Foundation.
Don Rettig, president of Owens Corning Foundation
The kitchens in Jiangxi Province, which Rettig recently visited, are just one way the company has been a force for good.
"It was a very powerful trip to spend the day with the kids and see how we are able to make a difference in their lives," Rettig said.
Owens Corning actively encourages volunteerism in its employees, both within the United States and overseas. Owens Corning has a presence in 27 countries on five continents, employing 15,000 people, Rettig said.
"We are located around the world, as active participants and not just as a building," Rettig said. "The way we encourage volunteerism is through example.
"We have 1,200 people in the Toledo building," Rettig continued. "We are very, very active in the community in Toledo from the CEO down the line, from the community board member at the symphony or a local organization like Boys & Girls Club to the Goodwill."
Rettig said the company is frequently approached by community organizations who want a board member from Owens Corning. Currently, there are Owens Corning employees sitting on 40 different boards at area organizations around Toledo, he said, including the Cherry Street Mission and Valentine Theatre.
"Most volunteers are doing it because they believe it's the right thing to do," he said.
One employee volunteer incentive is the Global Volunteer of the Year Award. The award includes winners from three categories: individual, team and retiree. The winners get to direct a $10,000 gift to the charity of their choice.
Applications came in from all over the world, Rettig said, including Europe, China and Canada.
This year the individual winner was an employee in Utah who had been active with an Ecuadorian program that helps schoolkids. The team prize went to a group in India and the winner of the retiree category was a Toledo man who volunteers in an education-based program.
"It's gratifying to see when those applications come in how dedicated our employees are and it's great to recognize it," Rettig said.
It's difficult to track the number of employees who volunteer, Rettig said, so Owens Corning no longer keeps those statistics. However, the company did track the number of volunteer opportunities for employees. This year, the company set a goal of 75 events in honor of its 75th anniversary, he said.
"We hit that goal," Rettig said, "and just kept going."
Another way Owens Corning contributes to the local community is by supporting the Aspire initiative. Aspire was formed earlier this year through the collaborative efforts of local corporations, government, labor, educational and philanthropic organizations.
Aspire focuses on the healthy development and education of children through a data and measurement accountability system that drives better results. Owens Corning has loaned a full-time executive to the project and provided further financial support.
Owens Corning gives away several million dollars each year in cash and products to communities it serves, Rettig said. Donations come from the foundation and other areas such as sponsorships, he said.
The company has partnered with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, HomeAid, Good360 and World Vision to help with product donations. In 2012, Owens Corning donated enough shingles to re-roof more than 283 homes and enough insulation to insulate 1,091 homes for those in need.
"If there's a homeless shelter out there that needs a new roof and we can donate to that, fantastic," he said. "We find a way to do philanthropy that makes sense to (our) business. … When you hear what Owens Corning is doing with Habitat for Humanity —that makes a lot of sense."
Mike McIntyre, executive director of the Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity, said he's thrilled to be affiliated with Owens Corning. He called Owens Corning a "multifaceted" company that never stops thinking of creative ways to give back to the community.
Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit that builds affordable homes for low-income people, is Owens Corning's largest partner in the United States. In three years, Owens Corning has donated $1 million in cash and product to Habitat for Humanity, Rettig said.
This year will mark the 10th house Owens Corning will finish in partnership with Habitat for Humanity.
"The key here is when they approach a community partner, they provide financial support, product support. They provide leadership," McIntyre said. "There's no partnership we have that can deliver on every front like Owens Corning can. They are the quintessential community partner because they can deliver on so many fronts."
Owens Corning has built several homes with Habitat for Humanity this year, including homes in California, Minneapolis, Houston, Jacksonville and Atlanta. Rettig just recently returned from the build in Houston where he climbed ladders and hammered away with 20 other employees from its Houston plant.
"There's a Habitat in every community and in every community that we have a plant, we get the employees involved," Rettig said.

The Fort Dorchester offense shined in the first half Friday and the Patriot defense shined in the second as the Fort earned a 35-14 win over Cane Bay.
The Patriots (2-0) scored three first-half touchdowns and held the Cobras (0-2) to 54 yards of offense in the second half. Fort Dorchester's offense outgained Cane Bay's offense 349 yards to 167 in the game, but the Cobras won the special teams and turnover battles.
"Cane Bay played well and we still got the win so I'm happy with that," Fort Dorchester coach Steve LaPrad said. "Our kids played hard. We moved the ball well and our defense played like we expect it to in the second half, but we need to clean some things up. Hopefully with a good week of practice we can straighten the other things out."
Junior quarterback Kobe Garrett completed 12 of 16 pass attempts for approximately 200 yards and four touchdowns.
Receivers Joseph Hutchinson, Rashad Palmer, D'Monte Bailey and Diondre Champaigne all had touchdown receptions for the Fort. Palmer's came on a 69-yard play that involved a lot of yards after the catch. Bailey outleaped a Cobra defensive back in the end zone to secure his 34-yard touchdown reception, which put the Fort up 28-14 with Riley Rozanski's PAT kick late in the third quarter.
Garrett and running backs Matt Murray and Nahshon Cyrus combined for approximately 200 rushing yards. Murray broke several tackles to score the Patriots' sole rushing TD, which covered 40 yards.
Running back Romonte Frazier provided two of the Cobras' main highlights of the evening. The senior capped a 69-yard drive with a 10-yard scoring run to tie the game at 7 early in the second quarter. After Murray's TD run, Frazier returned the kickoff 81 yards into the end zone to give the Cobras a 14-13 lead with Phillip Jackson's PAT kick.
However, the Fort gained momentum for good on its next possession, taking only one play to score on Palmer's 69-yard play.
Cane Bay 0 14 0 0 – 14
Fort Dorchester 7 14 7 7 – 35
F – Joseph Hutchinson 5 pass from Kobe Garrett (Riley Rozanski kick)
C – Romonte Frazier 10 run (Phillip Jackson kick)
F – Matt Murray 40 run (kick blocked)
C – Frazier 81 kickoff return (Jackson kick)
F – Rashad Palmer 69 pass from Garrett (Garrett run)
F – D'Monte Bailey 34 pass from Garrett (Rozanski kick)
F – Diondre Champaigne 6 pass from Garrett

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
but I did saw a fast moving zip-zag UFO that came out of the water in the lake of chicago city, my friend seen it and about 54 witness,
I was reading some of the essays on this site and one of them stated that all is in Sheol and none have gone to Heaven (yet). I'm not sure if they were talking about before the Resurrection or before the Second Coming. But I have heard something similiar before. That people are in 'soul sleep' and are still dead waiting to be resurrected (but then again, most of the people I've heard preach this has been annihilationists/believers in conditional immortality). Is this a doctrine preached at tentmaker or not?
But those verses, the way you're interpreting them, contradict the words of Jesus on the Cross to the thief that he would be with him in Paradise.
I take it you're an atheist.
Quote from: CrossoverManiac on April 03, 2009, 07:12:31 AMBut those verses, the way you're interpreting them, contradict the words of Jesus on the Cross to the thief that he would be with him in Paradise. It remains to be seen if their is a contradiction. The Greek source text has no interpuntion.a] No interpunction like in the original Greek.b] This states the thief will be in heaven today.c] This should be read like: Right now I'm telling you, ......a] And Jesus said unto him verily I say unto thee Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.b] And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.c] And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee Today, shalt thou be with me in paradise.
Quote from: CrossoverManiac on April 03, 2009, 02:04:46 AMI take it you're an atheist.i'll help out here...i know ID enough to know he's not an atheist, and I'm confident what he's saying is that he doesn't believe in conscious activity after death PRIOR to the resurrection...I'm pretty sure that's what he meant by 'afterlife'....
I think the dead are literally dead until the ressurection, but I think the opinions might differ here on tentmaker. I wrote about this somewhere - but it's no topic I want to quarrel about here, for me it's quite obvious but I accept other opinions though I don't share them.Except the story of the rich man (which is a parable in my view), there is not a single definite Bible verse that says anyone who died is alive in heaven/paradise yet (except Jesus of course; WhiteWings allready explained the verse with the thief on the cross). The Bible further denies the immortality of the soul, it does not only NOT teach it, but denies it.
Hey WW...back to our The Christian Bible (1991)...one of the most literal to the early Greek manuscripts;
How would an afterlife defeat Jesus' purpose on the Cross? Do you not believe 1John when it says in a couple of places that we have passed from death to life and that we have eonian life right now?
Jesus, in his ministries, said that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the God of the living and not the dead.

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Josh Rutledge had a career-high four hits and knocked in three runs to lead the Colorado Rockies past the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3-1, in the middle test of a three-game series at Dodger Stadium.
Josh Roenicke (4-0) earned the win with three scoreless innings of relief of starter Alex White, who allowed a hit and walked five over four innings.
Eric Young Jr. added three hits and two runs scored for Colorado, which won consecutive games for the first time since bookending the All-Star break from July 8-13 with victories over Washington and Philadelphia.
"I have to take advantage of my opportunities. I see my name in the lineup and I go out and hit," said Young.
The Rockies had not won games on back-to-back days since beating the Dodgers on June 3 and Arizona on June 4.
Aaron Harang (7-7) surrendered all three runs on six hits and four walks in six-plus innings for the Dodgers, who have lost five of their last eight.
The Rockies threatened in the top of the first inning after loading the bases with one out on a Young single, Rutledge's double and an intentional walk to Carlos Gonzalez.
They would come up empty, though, as Jordan Pacheco hit a grounder to first that James Loney threw home for the force before Ramon Hernandez grounded out to Harang to end the threat.
After the Dodgers left a man on third in the second inning and Colorado stranded a runner on second in the third, Los Angeles filled the bags with two outs in the home third on a pair of walks to Shane Victorino and Matt Kemp before an intentional walk to Andre Ethier following a couple of stolen bases by Victorino and Kemp as well as a wild pitch.
However, LA would also walk away empty handed as Hanley Ramirez flied out to left.
"It was a battle. I fell into some tough situations but I was able to make a few pitches to get out of them," said White.
The Rockies were able to break the scoreless tie in the fifth when Young hit a one-out single before rounding the bases on Rutledge's double off the wall in center field.
Dexter Fowler then reached first on Loney's missed catch error on a grounder to second before Gonzalez worked a walk to load the bases, but Pacheco grounded into an inning-ending double play to keep it a 1-0 game.
Rutledge pulled his third two-bagger of the contest into the left-field corner in the seventh inning off Shawn Tolleson to plate Chris Nelson and Young, giving Colorado a 3-0 advantage.
Harang gave up a single to Nelson and walked Young before getting removed in favor of Tolleson.
The Dodgers left a man on second in the seventh inning but got on the board in the eighth when Ramirez hit a two-out single and rounded the bases on Mark Ellis' pinch-hit double to left.
Los Angeles would get no closer, though, as Rafael Betancourt worked a perfect ninth to record his 19th save of the year.
"We had some opportunities, we just didn't get it done tonight," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "Our guys need to relax and get good pitches to hit."
Kemp went 0-for-3 to snap a nine-game hit streak...Harang fell to 6-6 in 14 career starts against Colorado...The Rockies now lead the season series between the teams, 6-5...Colorado clinched its first series win at Dodger Stadium since winning two of three meetings from September 17-19, 2010.

Council cuts move closer
Last updated at 11:03, Thursday, 14 February 2013
A DEVASTATING cull of services in Copeland looks set to become a reality.
Almost every service cut proposed by Copeland Council is set to happen. These include the closure of Whitehaven's tourist information centre and all the borough's public toilets, as well as the cancellation of Christmas lights, the concessionary travel scheme and doorstep collections of cardboard and plastic recycling.
Under its proposed budget and pending final approval next week, the council will also withdraw funding to North Country Leisure (NCL), the operators of Whitehaven Civic Hall and Cleator Moor Bowls and Sports Centre, and both venues will close in November unless alternative financial arrangements are found.
Funding will also be reduced to two other NCL-managed facilities, Whitehaven Sports Centre and Copeland Swimming Pool, but these are expected to remain open, albeit with potential reduced opening hours and increased charges.
The council will also withdraw funding to The Beacon museum, although talks are ongoing between the council and Sellafield Ltd to keep this facility running.
It is also planned to reduce the frequency of public grass cutting, and to remove street furniture (seating, bollards, gazebos etc) and public flower displays. Charges are also set to increase for council-owned car parks, cemeteries and crematoriums.
The only service to be spared the axe is garden (brown bin) collections. It is now planned that collections will continue, but they will cease during winter months. Plans to charge residents for having black bins replaced have also been scrapped.
Copeland Council has been forced to slash services after having a third of its budget cut by the government. It was the eighth-worst-hit council in the country and must save around £3 million by 2015.
All the proposals were agreed by Copeland Council's Executive councillors this week, and pending agreement by the full council on February 21, they will be introduced in April.
Christmas lights in Whitehaven, Cleator Moor and Cleator will continue this year and next but stop in 2015.
Around 20 jobs will be lost in the proposals, a reduction from the anticipated 30 to 40. However, a number of employees have already left and will not be replaced.
There had been hopes that some more of the under-threat services could have been saved, but just before Christmas the grant the council receives from the government was revealed to be even lower than anticipated.
Coun George Clements said: "This government does not care about how much we are having to save, and how much this will affect residents." Coun Gillian Troughton added: "It is with a mix of sadness and anger at this government settlement, and trying to set a budget in these circumstances."
Copeland formally proposed the cuts in October, and they were sent out for public consultation. The response included 280 completed questionnaires, over 30 individual letters, three petitions and online protest groups.
Pending approval from full council next week, the following will happen in April:
Whitehaven tourist information centre will close
Public toilets will close, including James Street (Whitehaven), Cleator Moor Square, Chapel Street (Egremont) and St Bees foreshore
grass cutting on open spaces reduced to one or two cuts a year (down from 14)
the concessionary travel scheme will be withdrawn
plastic and cardboard recycling will not be collected from doorsteps
car park charges to go up by 22p for one hour, and 70p for four hours
a 15 per cent increase on cemetery prices, and a 12 per cent increase for the crematorium. Increases will also be made to some taxi licence charges.
flower tubs and public displays will be removed, and street furniture not replaced when it reaches the end of its life
Other cuts include a reduction in mayoral responsibilities, stopping some arts and sports development schemes, and the cancellation of Copeland Matters. Other savings are being made by the council adjusting its internal operations.
The council continues to urge community groups to step forward and take on some of the services that the council will no longer pay for. Chief executive Paul Walker said that negotiations are ongoing with a number of interested parties, although no specifics can be given at this stage.
However, the proposed partnership between The Beacon and Sellafield has been made public and it will see the facility run as a visitor centre, possibly with a tourist information centre incorporated. A formal agreement must be reached by April this year.

Have your say
The council propose to close the only public toilet due to lack of funds but can find money to spray paint dog muck on waste ground near haig pit,but the same enforcers somehow failed to see the camp built of asbestos and played in during the school hols last week. The dog muck is an eyesore and should be dealt with but so should the irresponsible person who dumped assbestos on the ever incearsing waste dump which the council seem to ignore
What Copeland need is a complete change of direction. The academic ability of this council is extremely poor and it is time that these councillors recognised that they do not have the ability to make the decisions that they are making.

Great earrings at a great value. Twice the price elsewhere.

The firm of Robert Hyde & Co. issued trade tokens dated 1857 and 1861. Both issues appear to be the work of Heaton & Sons, Birmingham rather than W.J. Taylor as earlier thought (See Sharples JNAA.7 p.45). Standard references and the museum's storage are based on identification of the die combinations employed to manufacture the tokens.
Issue of 1857
Penny: Obverse A with Reverse 1 - no variations
Halfpenny: Obverse B with Reverse 2 then Obverse C with Reverse 2 the quick check for obverse die is the position of the & at the bottom of the central legend. If it is directly under the down stroke of the letter T it is Obverse B, if it is between the letters ET it is obverse C
Issue of 1861
Penny: Obverse A with Reverse 3 then Obverse D with reverse 3 (Obv.A broke from the rim below the R of ROBERT to the right side of the central bar see NU 3963) like the halfpenny dies, the quick check for obverse differentiation is the position of the & at the bottom of the central legend. If it is directly under the down stroke of the letter T it is Obverse B, if it is between the letters ET it is obverse C
Halfpenny: Four obverse dies were used to strike the 1861 issue Obv. C, E, F and G with a single reverse die, Rev. 4. Differences in the obverse dies are very slight. Obv.C and Obv.E have serifs at the top of the letter E at the end of the words MARINE and STORE, on both Obv. F and Obv. G that serif is missing. Obv C has a slight doubling of the letter N of MELBOURNE and on some examples shows a die crack between the letters ER of ROBERT. Obv. E has a slight entry of a letter M to the left of the M of MARINE. Obv. F has the first stroke of the letter R of RAGS directly below the first stroke of the H of SHIPPERS while on obverse G it is between the SH, much closer to the S. Obv.G has a small die crack on some examples to the C of Co. The following table of key measurement is also helpful in die differentiation:

John Irving Shares the Writer's Process
Willamette students and the community got a glimpse into the writing process of one of America's most popular and respected authors last week when John Irving visited campus.Atkinson Lecture in the evening. But first he met privately with a dozen students -- a mix of English majors, writers and Irving fans -- to answer their questions about his career and methods.
Irving described himself as "a visually descriptive writer" who is inspired by 19th century authors like Charles Dickens, Herman Melville and Thomas Hardy.
When a student asked him to describe the reasoning behind the "bizarre" nature of his characters, Irving responded that one of the greatest challenges of fiction is making the reader sympathize with a character who may seem despicable.
"You have the opportunity in fiction to put someone in an awful situation and make them incredibly human in a way that does not vilify them," he said. "If you can make the reader love these people or at least pity them, that's an accomplishment."
Irving said one of his mantras is a quote from Melville: "Woe to him who seeks to please rather than appall."
"I find it less interesting to write about things that have happened to me than to write about things I'm afraid of happening to me," he said.
During his evening lecture, Irving delved further into his process for writing a novel. In a method that contrasts with many other writers, Irving begins by crafting the last sentence, then creating a "reverse road map" to lead him back to the beginning of the story.
He doesn't begin writing his first draft until he already has mapped out the plot and characters.
The students also queried Irving on his path to becoming a professional writer. Irving recently published his 12th novel, Last Night in Twisted River; he has earned an Academy Award for his screen adaptation of The Cider House Rules; and he is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
Irving said that writing is not a choice, but an "addiction" that he feels he cannot live without.
"You can be talented in a lot of different things, but one day you'll discover there's just something you do better than anything else, something you want to do for eight or nine hours a day," he told the students. "That's what your career is - it's the thing you just can't leave alone."

Not a fan of this bag, great fabric, but doesn't hold up to wetness for several days of exposure Review by Miranda
Price Value Quality
I have mixed feelings about this bag. I love that it is so pretty, I love that it folds up easy when not used, I really like the zipper. For a day trip I'd have to say that it is a good bag. What I don't like is that it does not work as an overnight bag. If there's too much water in your diaper from being rinsed, or your wipe is really wet it tends to seep out of the bottom after a day or two. It needs to be dried several times in the dryer before it seals properly. (Posted on 6/12/10)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Unlikely

This is a really strange bug. If you use Google to search for [android], [android market] or [android phone] from an Android phone, you won't get any result. Google only shows ads related to your query and a standard message: "Your search did not match any documents".
It's not clear if this is an Android bug or a Google search bug, but it's certainly not an Easter egg. If you don't have an Android phone, try this page to use the Android-optimized interface.
Update: it seems that the same bug affects Google's iPhone interface and there are many other queries that don't return any result. "When signed into the mobile site, I see some search results, but not for all queries. I'm on a Nexus One. In the classic interface, everything works fine," says a Google user. "I'm having the same issue on an iPhone 4. No results for super common terms, but images and location searches are unaffected," confirms another user.
