2. Discussion of Related Art
Permeable base transistors (PBTs) offer advantages in speed and packing density over conventional field effect transistors (FETs) (Wernersson et al., Mat. Sci. & Eng. B 51:76-80 (1998); Nilsson et al., Solid State Elec. 42:297-305 (1998)). In typical PBT technologies, a metallic base layer is overlaid onto a single crystal semiconductor substrate (emitter/collector) to form a Schottky barrier (e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,378,629). A second epitaxial semiconductor layer is overgrown on the base layer (second collector/emitter). The base layer is patterned with openings so that current can flow from emitter to collector only when a voltage is applied to the base layer. A variety of metals, such as tungsten and metal silicides (e.g., WSi2, NiSi2 and CoSi2) have been used as materials for the base layer (von Käinel, Mat. Sci. Rep. 8:193-269 (1992); Zaring et al., Rep. Progress Phys. 56:1397-1467 (1993); Pisch et al., J. App. Phys. 80:2742-2748 (1996)). These PBTs were predicted to have high gains at very high frequencies (200 GHz), which were not achievable with conventional FET technologies. However, problems such as poisoning of PBT semiconductor structures by metal electromigration, insufficient heat dissipation, and complexity of epitaxial overgrowth to form embedded metal base layers have prevented mass fabrication of PBTs (Hsu et al., J. App. Phys. 69:4282-4285; Miyao et al., J. Cryst. Growth 111:957-960 (1991)).
Therefore, a need exists for new PBTs that provide the predicted improvements in speed, packing density, and high frequency performance over FETs, without suffering from the drawbacks associated with the metal base layers of traditional PBTs.
The invention provides a permeable base transistor (PBT) having a base layer that includes nanotubes. One aspect of the invention provides a permeable base transistor having a semiconductor emitter, a semiconductor collector, and a base in contact with the emitter and collector. The base includes metallic nanotubes. In at least some embodiments, the base includes an aggregate of carbon nanotube segments. Carbon nanotube segments contact other carbon nanotube segments to define a plurality of conductive pathways. In certain embodiments, the nanotubes include single-walled carbon nanotubes. In particular embodiments, the base includes a monolayer of nanotubes. In some embodiments, the base includes a patterned layer of nanotubes. In certain embodiments, the PBT also has an ohmic contact in communication with the emitter. In particular embodiments, the PBT also has an ohmic contact in communication with the collector.
FIGS. 1A-D illustrate permeable base transistor devices according to certain embodiments of the invention;
FIGS. 2A-B illustrate nanotube fabrics of different densities used to make certain embodiments of the invention; and
FIGS. 3-4 illustrate acts of making transistor devices according to certain embodiments of the invention.
Certain embodiments of the invention provide a permeable base transistor (PBT) having a base layer including metallic nanotubes or metallic nanotube fabric embedded in a semiconductor crystal material. The metallic nanotube base layer separates emitter and collector layers of the semiconductor material. A Schottky barrier is created between the nanotube layer and each of the emitter and collector semiconductor layers. The metallic nanotube layer includes metallic nanotube species, and may also include some semiconducting nanotubes. In specific embodiments, the metallic nanotubes and semiconducting nanotubes are carbon nanotubes. In particular embodiments, the nanotube layer is a horizontal monolayer of single-walled carbon nanotubes. Nanotube layers can be thinner (e.g., about 1 nm) than traditional PBT metallic base films, while retaining low resistance and impedance. Nanotube base layers exhibit effective heat dissipation, due to the high thermal conductivity of the nanotubes.
In particular embodiments, PBTs of the invention are made by providing a semiconductor substrate, providing a nanotube layer on the substrate, and growing an epitaxial semiconductor layer over the nanotube layer. Epitaxial semiconductor growth over the nanotube layer can occur because nanotubes occupy only a small surface area of the underlying semiconductor substrate. Since the diameter of a nanotube is only about 1.5 nm, less perturbation of the epitaxial growth layer is caused by a nanotube layer than by a transition metal base layer such as cobalt, nickel, or tungsten. The porous nature of the nanotube layer allows for self-sealing epitaxial overgrowth by the semiconductor, without generating the defects associated with epitaxial growth over a traditional metallic trace. Further, ultra-small patterning of conductive base "fingers" is not required for nanotube base layers as it is for standard metallic base layers, because the nanotube fabric resembles a spider web, inherently containing openings between nanotube segments.
FIGS. 1A-D illustrate nanotube permeable base transistors (NPBTs) according to certain embodiments of the invention. Each NPBT includes an emitter 104E, a base, and a collector 104C. In certain embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1A, the base is a metallic base layer including a carbon nanotube film 102. The thickness of the base layer corresponds to the height of a nanotube matte, which is typically about 1 nm or greater. The nanotube base layer 102 is embedded within a crystalline matrix 104C,E of semiconducting material. The semiconductor matrix 104C,E is divided by the nanotube base layer 102 into an semiconducting emitter layer 104E and a semiconducting collector layer 104C. A Schottky barrier is generated between the nanotube base layer 102 and each of the emitter and collector layers 104E, 104C. FIGS. 1A-D are not drawn to scale. In certain embodiments, the thickness of each of the emitter and collector layers 104E, 104C is between about 0.1 microns and about 2 microns. The emitter and collector layers 104E, 104C electrically communicate with ohmic contacts 106E, 106C. FIG. 1B shows a side view of the NPBT illustrated in FIG. 1A.
In certain embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1C and its side view FIG. 1D, the base is a metallic layer including a patterned carbon nanotube film 110. The patterned film 110 has nanotube "fingers" or ribbons 112 separated by openings 114. The patterned film 110 may be formed using standard lithographic techniques to define a pattern in a nanotube layer. Alternatively, the patterned film 110 is generated through controlled growth of nanotubes to create a grid of varying nanotube density.
Nanotube matter and fabrics, and methods of making and patterning the same, and of defining elements therefor, are described in co-pending U.S. patent applications entitled Nanotube Films and Articles (Ser. No. 10/1 28118, filed Apr. 23, 2002) and Methods of Nanotube Films and Articles (Ser. No. 10/128117, filed Apr. 23, 2002), which are assigned to the assignee of this application, and which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. A nanotube fabric is an aggregate of nanotube segments in which nanotube segments contact other nanotube segments to define a plurality of conductive pathways.
FIGS. 2A-B illustrate nanotube fabrics having different porosities. The height of the nanotubes as measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM) is about 1-2 nm, which is typical for monolayered single-walled nanotube films. FIG. 2A depicts a higher density, less porous nanotube film in comparison to FIG. 2B, which depicts a lower density, more porous film. The density of the nanotube matte is adjusted using nanotube growth techniques to provide smaller or larger openings between tubes. For example, the porosity of the nanotube fabric is regulated by maintaining a temperature between about 700° C. and about 1000° C. during nanotube growth, and allowing nanotube growth to occur for between about 1 minute and about 1 hour. The nature and concentration of any catalyst used to promote nanotube growth, and the flow parameters of carbon precursor gas and carrier gas also affect the density of a resulting carbon nanotube matte.
Nanotube fabrics usually contain a mixture of both semiconductor and metallic nanotube species, depending on tube chirality (Yu, et al., J. Phys. Chem. B 105:6831-6837 (2001); Erkoc et al., Int. J. Modern Phys. C, 12:865-870 (2001)). These semiconductor and metallic nanotube species are referred to herein as "semiconducting nanotubes" and "metallic nanotubes," respectively. In a PBT device having a nanotube base layer, the metallic nanotubes form a Schottky contact, while the semiconducting nanotubes remain embedded as part of the epitaxial structure without contributing to the device characteristics or disturbing the functionality of the device. The porosity of the nanotube fabric is tuned to ensure that the entire nanotube layer acts as a metal trace. The nanotube layer preferably is dense enough that the carrier depletion zone generated around each metallic nanotube covers the surrounding semiconducting nanotubes. This way the Schottky barrier created by the metallic tubes interfacing with the semiconductor matrix extends around the PBT base layer.
Multiply-connected and redundant conductive paths defined by nanotube segments in the nanotube fabric ensure reliable electrical connection of all regions of the base layer. Redundancy in the nanotube fabric also reduces the detrimental effect of surface damage associated with the deposition of epitaxial layers, which can cause delays in base transition time (Hatzikonstantinidou et al., Phys. Scripta 54:226-229 (1994)). The inherently open nature of the nanotube fabric leaves ample lattice sites exposed in the underlying semiconductor to facilitate epitaxial overgrowth in PBT fabrication.
FIG. 3 illustrates a method of making NPBT devices according to certain embodiments of the invention. The structures in FIG. 3 are shown in vertical cross-section. A first intermediate structure 300 is created or provided. In the illustrated embodiment, the structure 300 includes a semiconducting substrate having an ohmic contact 106C. In the illustrated embodiment, the semiconducting substrate provides a collector layer 104C formed of semiconductor material. However, in alternative embodiments the semiconducting substrate forms an emitter layer. One of skill in the art will understand that the particular nature of the semiconducting substrate, e.g., n-type or p-type semiconductor material, can be varied and is chosen based upon the structure desired.
A nanotube layer 102′ is formed on an upper surface 302 of the substrate 104C to produce a second intermediate structure 304. Usually, the matted nanotube layer 102′ is a non-woven fabric of single-walled nanotubes. However, certain alternative embodiments employ multi-walled nanotubes. In some embodiments, the nanotube film 102′ is grown using a catalyst, which is applied to the upper surface 302 of the semiconductor substrate 104C. Sometimes, a catalyst metal containing iron (Fe), molybdenum (Mo), cobalt (Co), tungsten (W), or other metals, is applied to the surface 302 by spin-coating or other application techniques. Alternatively, or in addition, the catalyst is provided in gaseous form in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. For example, carbon nanotubes are grown using a gas phase metallic species such as ferrocene or other gas phase metallic species containing iron, molybdenum, tungsten, cobalt, or other transition metals. Parameters including, but not limited to, catalyst composition and concentration, temperature, pressure, surface preparation, and growth time are adjusted to control growth of the nanotube matte 102′. For example, control of such parameters allows for even distribution of nanotubes over the surface 302 to form a layer 102′ that is primarily a monolayer of nanotubes adhered to one another via van der Waals' forces. Growth of one nanotube on top of another occurs infrequently due to the growth tendencies of the material. In some embodiments, the catalyst is patterned to promote nanotube growth in varying densities.
Alternatively to growing the nanotube film 102′, a film 102′ of pre-grown nanotubes is deposited on the surface 302 of the semiconductor substrate 104C. In some embodiments, nanotubes are dissolved or suspended in a liquid and spin-coated over the surface 302 to generate the nanotube film 102′. The film 102′ is one or more nanotubes thick, depending on the spin profile and other process parameters. Appropriate liquids for use in solutions or suspensions for spin-coating of nanotubes include, but are not limited to, dimethylformamide, n-methyl pyrollidinone, n-methyl formamide, orthodichlorobenzene, paradichlorobenzene, 1,2, dichloroethane, alcohols, and water with appropriate surfactants, such as, for example, sodium dodecylsulfate or TRITON X-100. The nanotube concentration and deposition parameters, such as surface functionalization, spin-coating speed, temperature, pH, and time, are adjusted to control deposition of monolayers or multilayers of nanotubes as desired. In other embodiments, the nanotube film 102′ is deposited by dipping the surface 302 of the semiconductor structure 300 into a solution or suspension of nanotubes. In still other embodiments, the nanotube film 102′ is formed by spraying pre-formed nanotubes in the form of an aerosol onto the surface 302 of the semiconductor structure 300.
The NPBT structure 306 is created by growing an epitaxial semiconductor layer over the nanotube film 102′. In the illustrated embodiment, this epitaxial semiconductor layer serves as an emitter layer 104E, but in alternative embodiments this epitaxial layer serves as a collector layer. Since the nanotube layer 102′ is porous, the epitaxial layer 104E grows not only over the nanotube base layer 102′, but also between nanotubes of the layer 102′, thereby generating a fully embedded nanotube film 102 that creates only slight perturbations in the epitaxial nature of the upper semiconductor layer 104E with respect to the semiconductor substrate 104C. In the illustrated embodiment, the epitaxial layer 104E is interfaced to a second ohmic contact 106E. One of skill in the art will understand that ohmic contacts to the PBT are provided as necessary to afford desired connections within and between devices.
In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, an intermediate structure 304 is generated as described above. The structures in FIG. 4 are shown in vertical cross-section. A photoresist is applied to the nanotube layer 102′ and patterned to define ribbons or fingers in the matted layer of nanotubes 102′. The photoresist is removed to form a third intermediate structure 400 having a patterned nanotube film 110′ made up of ribbons 112′ of non-woven nanotube fabric lying on planar surface 302. An epitaxial semiconductor layer is grown over the patterned nanotube film 110′. In NPBT 402, this epitaxial semiconductor layer is shown as an emitter layer 104E, but in alternative embodiments this epitaxial layer serves as a collector layer. Since the nanotube layer 110′ is porous and extremely thin (e.g., about 1 nm), the epitaxial layer 104E grows not only over the nanotube base layer 110′ but also between nanotubes, generating a fully embedded patterned nanotube film 110, which creates only slight perturbations in the epitaxial nature of the upper semiconductor layer 104E with respect to the semiconductor substrate 104C. In the illustrated embodiment, the layer 104E is interfaced to a second ohmic contact 106E. One of skill in the art will understand that ohmic contacts to the PBT are provided as necessary to afford desired connections within and between devices.
FIGS. 1, 3, and 4 illustrate a transistor layout according to certain embodiments of the invention, having ohmic contacts 106E, 106C above the emitter layer 104E and below the collector layer 104C. However, one of skill in the art will appreciate that various configurations for transistors are known, e.g., well-based, trench-based, and vertical stacking, all of which are applicable to PBTs according to various embodiments of the invention.
It will be further appreciated that the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments but rather is defined by the appended claims, and that these claims will encompass modifications of and improvements to what has been described.

The following guest post is by Dmitry Perlovich.
Online personas have been a trending topic for quite a while now. To put it simply, an online persona is a basic representation of an Internet user. Every one of us is different and behaves in certain ways depending our beliefs and values. Online shopping behavior of a particular individual could be similar or different to off line shoppers. However, one concept still remains the same, and that is,"birds of feather flock together." Like-minded individuals gather online and off line with others who have similar tastes, points of view, hobbies, etc. For example, people who collect toy trains gather online in toy train forums, belong to train toy Facebook Facebook or Yahoo Yahoo groups, and even have their own Train Collectors Association. This like minded group of people shares similar interest and therefore speaks the same language. Understanding your buying audience and knowing how to speak their language can skyrocket your e-commerce conversions.
Many of us in e-commerce try our very best to get as many qualified prospects as possible to see our products and services. We spend a lot of time on optimizing and A/B testing, putting out paid advertising campaigns, A/B testing different elements on our home pages, trying different banners and offers, etc. However, despite of our best efforts many e-commerce stores still experience huge bounce rates. Consequently, the problem could lie not in the effectiveness of the marketing program but a simple disconnect from your audience. Here are some steps that you can take to increase your e-commerce conversion.
Optimize category and product pages
Statistically, many people who land on e-commerce product pages are searching for something specific. If your e-commerce store is niche specific, catering to a single audience on your homepage would be best. However, most large e-commerce stores offer products to different audiences and therefore must have category and product pages that are highly focused on a specific buyer persona. Let's look at a very specific example of how you would go about optimizing your category and product page to speak on the same level as your buying audience.
Let's assume that your e-commerce store sells digital cameras. There are literally thousands of different cameras and many different brands. However, some group of people (personas) clearly has a passion for specific cameras. Some people search for "Digital SLR Cameras" while other people are very specific and actually search for a specific camera such as a "Cannon Rebel T3″. Therein lays a goldmine. If part of your e-commerce store speaks same language to that persona, there is a much better chance to have higher converting category and product pages. Here are some steps to achieve this:
Step 1 – Keyword & persona research
Head over to a keyword tool and research the traffic. The key here it to be very specific and understand that there is enough traffic to the specified category or a product. Based on the Google Google Keyword tool there are 1,000 "phrase match" monthly searches for "Cannon Rebel T3″ and 49,000 "phrase match" monthly searches for "Digital SLR Cameras".
Find out where your buying personas spend their time online talking about "Cannon Rebel T3″ or "Digital SLR Camera".
Put in search engine search field something like the following:
Canon Rebel T3 group
Canon Rebel T3 answers
Canon Rebel T3 blogs
Cannon Rebel T3 Facebook
Canon Rebel T3 Youtube

Re: The death of retail music stores
All my local shops have been tiny with almost no drum gear. Even for guitars its all off brand beginner stuff because if they sell anything at all ever it's an off brand Strat copy. I was spoiled by the Memphis drum shop when I lived there. Now it's GC or nothing which is why I have to shop online. Interstate Music is the only place to get exactly what I want. They have killed the brick and mortar store though. They have almost every major brand that local store would never have. If I want a very particular size and model Zildjian I can only get it online. No shop would have it or order it without added cost. It sucks but that's the way it is. Even the chain of Office Supply stores I work for mentioned there will be a day when we will be irrelevant. "We need to get customers to shop online. But come to the store where we shop for them on our kiosk and they pay for it in store, not shop at home on their internet.." Whaaaat?!? It is sad.

Lost Your Edge? Axe and Machete Sharpener Hones BIG Blades!
Dull men inevitably have dull tools. Cause or effect? We don't presume to guess, but we've discovered a fast, safe and easy way to put a keen edge on machetes, shovels, axes, even lawn mower blades. All it takes is a few strokes with the Lansky Tool Sharpener to recondition large working edges. Has a tungsten carbide head for convenient honing. Look sharp! 8½" length.

Comments about Lansky Tool Sharpener:
The first time I used this product was to sharpen the blade on a set of limb/hedge shears. After about a dozen gentle strokes on each side of the blade, the carbide stone fell off the handle. It appears to have come unglued. The manufacturer certainly should have attached the pieces with a stronger adhesive. Also, the stone is much smaller than it should be for this product's suggested uses.

Torche Gets Back Into Its Heavy Groove With Restarter
By Nathan Smith
If someone says Bruce Springsteen is a poet of the working class, that person is not working-class.
Politics never make music better. Never. But they can make music much, much worse.
People who talk about "real country" usually have no place talking about rural America. Especially clueless are those who only count left-wingers as authentic country, when most country fans are conservative. However, Toby Keith does suck.
(The above is a corollary to the famous adage, "People who say they like all music except country don't really like music at all.")
Matters of the heart (and loins)
If she's into the Doors, check her ID.
The first mixtape -- or, today, burned CD -- he makes you will teach you more about him than the first six months of conversation.
Makeout music warning signs (by age group): Joy Division, Nine Inch Nails, Dashboard Confessional. At breakup time, don't say we didn't warn you.
Choosing Marvin Gaye shows a lack of imagination.
Furthermore, a straight man who chooses female-fronted make-out tunes will be a less attentive lover than a man who chooses male-fronted tunes. Interestingly, the opposite is not true of women -- and both Björk and Nina Simone tunes are exempt from this rule.
After getting dumped, getting really into Exile in Guyville is a sign that you are on the road to recovery.
Never drink with someone with no guilty pleasures. Do you want to have boozy singalongs to Wire?
Jimmy Buffett fans aren't wrong, they are just drunker than you.
The more Phish bootlegs they own, the more pot you should buy from them.
If you're going to puke, you might as well do it to the Velvet Underground's first album. It's like spewing in a movie. -- Jordan Harper

DAILEKH, DEC 29 - At a time when cases of violence against women have seen an unprecedented rise, an inebriated man burnt his wife following a spat at Narayan Municipality-6 in the district on Friday night.
Kamaro Sarki tortured his wife Chawali with a burning piece of wood, police said. The victim sustained serious burns in her private parts, thighs and buttocks.
The neighbours rescued Chawali and took her to District Hospital immediately after the victim and her children cried for help.
Local people and police suspect that the tipsy Kamaro might have assaulted his spouse with fire after she denied him sex. Police Inspector Binod Sharma suspects sex could be the main cause as the perpetrator had attacked the victim targeting her private parts.
According to the victim, the incident took place while she had been waiting for her husband for dinner. "He suddenly attacked me with a burning piece of wood. I would be burnt to death had my neighbours not rescued me," Chawala said at the hospital.
Police took Kamaro into custody. He has refused any wrongdoing. He admitted that they had a minor dispute and that she was accidentally hit by the fire in the kitchen and got injured. The impoverished Sarki couple are daily wage earners. Sharma said the victim has frequently changed her statements apparently to protect her husband. He assured that the perpetrator would not be spared even if the victim refused to lodge a complaint.
The case is said to have been forwarded as per the police report and the complaints registered by women rights organisations.

Some of the more memorable moments for the Americans at the 2014 winter games in Russia came from the competition on the slopes.
As the competition ends in Sochi, the world recalls their favorite moments of the Russian games.
Just like the women the day before, the U.S. men's hockey team fell to Canada. U.S. to take on Finland for the bronze.
The US women fell short in figure skating with Gracie Gold finishing in fourth place. She had an excellent performance but did fall and in the end it was not enough for a medal.

This is the funniest thing i've seen in ages.
Hmmm! Is that REAL??? lol!
Yep, Phillip. It is real. And apparently it's the latest craze next to the hand ball which is also supposed to be good for you. I'd imagine I'd feel as though my muscles were being torn from my body with it after 2 minutes, so I won't be using either of them. lol :-)
Another highly original idea from the USA, no doubt - just you wait and see, Microsoft will claim they have already been using similar methods for ages... ;-)
Yes, it's real...and yes, another proud product of the USA ~ and absolutely the weirdest excercise video ever. My questions : How come no man has ever tried to produce this gadget ever before now? If it truly does work to use that motion to build muscles, then why doesn't every man in the world have the end result already?
the only thing scarier than the people who'll buy this product is the individual (s) who thought of it in first place, and scarier still....why, and who came up with the video "artistic direction"....................
From 1 min 30 onwards this is hysterical lol
I would just like to add that of course I do not understand why <angelic smiley>
Shiela, I do wonder too. You only managed to say what we were all thinking. lol :-)
maist men dinna hiv that muckle tae tug
and just how do you know THAT, Margit!!!!????

Clean is the name of the game
As you would expect from a water bottle named "Clean Bottle", this water bottle is very easy to clean after you've spent hours in the hot sun drinking energy liquids that coat the inside of your bottle like goo. Just screw off the top and bottom, clean with hot water and mild soap, and stick it on the drying rack for your next outing. Good as new.
One recommendation, which is the same for every water bottle: wash by hand. Dishwashers can get hot enough to melt the plastic

Indonesians are in love with their mobile phones. Over the past five years, the use of such phones has more than tripled and nearly 200 million Indonesians today use cellular phones as their primary means of communications.
As part of this spurt in growth, smartphones have also come into their own in this market. Today approximately 20% of the cellular phone market is made up of smartphones as users look to expand the range of activities they can carry out on their cellular phones.
Recognizing this growing trend, smartphone providers such as Research in Motion, the maker of BlackBerry, is revisiting its strategy in Indonesia and other developing markets. BlackBerry's success in Indonesia, says company official Hastings Singh, is due to the fact that Asians are much more social and prefer to communicate person-to-person.
In contrast, consumers in the Western world are much more consumption-driven. "Apple was very smart in developing a product around the consumption of media," he notes. "What the iPhone eco system is not good at is building communities and helping people interact with family."
This is what Blackberry hopes to capitalize on and further grow its presence in markets such as Indonesia, where it controls 52% of the smartphone market. "We are growing both in terms of our share and absolute numbers," says Hastings.
The growth of smartphones, he adds, is being driven by two factors – the need of users to do more things with their cell phones, especially using them as a social platform; and the fact that smartphones are today the internet access devices of choice.
"More than one third of Indonesian internet users logged on for the first time over the past two years and the majority used smartphones in doing so," says Hastings. This means that smartphone makers have to work harder to improve and enhance the user experience.
With this in mind, Blackberry will launch a new operating system later this year. Called the Blackberry 10, the system will be more powerful and, more importantly, it will allow smartphones to adapt themselves to the user's needs.
"One of the things we are focusing on is how the Blackberry 10 can identify the user and adapt itself to his or her needs," Hastings notes. "It will be able to figure out how the person likes to use the phone and as such, the experience of the user is critical."
But even as it experiments with touch screens, Hastings adds that BlackBerry will never leave the keyboard behind. "We have been building keyboards for the past 12 years and every single key has a different shape. The engineering behind it has been very focused and that is a legacy that we will never leave behind."
A world first
As smartphones encompass ever more features, affordability will become a major challenge for their makers. Today both the iPhone and the BlackBerry cost more than the average Indonesian can afford. To expand the market, either the cost of smartphones has to come down or more innovative ways have to be found to allow more Indonesians to own one.
"Affordability is the key to our strategy in Indonesia but we will not grow the market by discounting," Hastings notes. "One of the things we are doing therefore is working with banks to offer unsecured financing for BlackBerrys without having to own a credit card."
The company will shortly launch a national program with Adira Finance where buyers can but BlackBerrys on credit and pay in installments. "Indonesia is the first market in the world we are rolling something like this out and it's great to do something interesting," adds Hastings.
BlackBerry will offer the service through its chain of 45 retail stores around the country. Once a customer gets approval for financing, he or she can purchase a BlackBerry at any retail store that carries the product.
The company will also host a worldwide apps developer conference in Indonesia in July and expects more than 500 developers to attend. "This is a fast-growing industry and we have our global center for apps testing in Indonesia," he notes.
As demand for smartphones picks up, new opportunities are opening up in Indonesia for young Indonesians who want to be involved in this new industry. BlackBerry is employing more Indonesian software engineers while venture capital firms are providing start-up funds for good ideas. The future for the industry looks promising and Indonesia could be at the cutting edge of a brave new world. GA

Kyle McFadzean stays at Crawley Town but won't rule out move
Posted: January 30, 2013|
KYLE MCFADZEAN has accused Bristol City of not doing their research before they attempted to sign him this month, but isn't ruling out a move to the Robins in the summer.
Despite McFadzean having been out of action for nine weeks following a virus, a deal was agreed for the centre-back with City earlier this month but the transfer fell through last week after former Crawley manager Sean O'Driscoll took over at the Robins.
"A deal had been agreed but then they had a change of manager," McFadzean explained. "Sean gave me a call and I told him the situation and he told me that Bristol City were expecting me to come into the team that Saturday.
"I said to him I hadn't trained for weeks, there was no chance I was playing on Saturday. They needed someone short term, but who knows if they came back for me in the summer.
"I want to play as high as I can and if a chance comes along that suits me then I would consider it."
However, in the immediate future McFadzean is happy to be a Crawley Town player and is concentrating on slowly getting back to fitness after previous attempts to rush back have only hindered his progress.
"I'm happy at Crawley at the moment but I just want to be back playing," the 25-year-old said. "They told me when I was first ill that it would be six to 12 weeks and I knew the football club wasn't going to be happy. They did try to rush me back a bit and it meant I had a couple of setbacks.
"I'm usually quite fit, and always one of the fittest when we come back for pre-season, but I've just been lying on the sofa for nine weeks, so it's tough. I trained last week but it took it out of me and so I had Monday off. One minute I will be alright and the next I will feel like rubbish."
But the centre-back is setting himself targets and hopes to be back to help the Reds into the play-offs.
"Hopefully I will be back for the last ten games at least and we will get into the play-offs," McFadzean said. "The gaffer has brought in some good players so I think we can do it, we aren't that many points off.
"I think there are only four others left from when we won the Conference, there have been a lot of changes, so I might have some names to learn."

I decided to try something new (for me) and to knit-in the ends of the wool when I start a new ball. I find the method very simple to do but I don't like the way it looks on the right side (a little uneven, lumpy, just wrong). First, I knitted-in both strands (old and new) but that was absolutely unsatisfactory so I took it out. Then, I tried knitting-in just on strand and that was better but still not acceptable. I'm not knitting tightly and am trying to accomodate the strand(s) on the back side.
Does anyone have experience doing this and can you give me some suggestions so that it looks fine on the right side of the work? It would be nice to have one less step to do when finishing a project.
I'm on my second Knit a River square and I decided it would be a great time to learn the Continental style of knitting. I watched the videos on knittinghelp.com and had my yarn and sticks while doing it so I could practice. It's been a struggle, but after 12 rows, I am just beginning to get the hang of it.
My biggest problems are finding a yarn hold that will work for me, getting used to using my middle finger to manipulate the stitches and left needle instead of my index finger and keeping that index finger away from the needle. No matter what hold I use, it seems like the yarn ends up falling off my finger. Believe it or not, I've acutally found the purl stitch to be easier to execute than the knit stitch. I'm knitting fairly tightly and my left hand is a bit sore because I'm so tense. I'm hoping I'll relax into it soon!
I finished knitting these last weekend, and ran them trough one cycle in the washer. Then it died. I had been expecting it from the sounds I'd been hearing from it, and the dampness on my basement floor in front of it. My neighbor let me run them through a cycle in her machine, and that helped, but they still needed more so I just decided to wait until I replaced my machine.
We bought our new washer Friday night and had our plumber come this morning to replace the water faucets for the washer because we discovered that they were in need of replacing (they wouldn't shut off!). So, after finishing laundry today, I threw these in for one more cycle just to finish them off.
It is good to hear that there are others out there that understand what I feel.
I will say this I do not worry what people say about what people think about my knitting. It is just that I wish they could see the benifits of knitting. Besides homemade gifts, I also find that knitting helps with my hands. When I am not knitting I Chef/cook at a university. Before I started knitting I found that I got hand cramps from all the chopping and food prep I had to do. After I started Knitting the cramps are pretty much all gone. Those are just tow of the benifits I find in knitting.
well I could go on for ever but that is all I need to say for now.
Will any of you be participating in the Sock Wars over at Yarn Monkey's site? It looks pretty fun. A sock knitting game of speed, intrigue and, uh, 'death.' I think I may do it. I'm not the fastest knitter, but in the end everyone ends up with a pair of socks anyway. Check it out and see what you think!
Where I am from in Southern Ontario Canada male knitters are few and far between. which is not that bad but strange when there is no one out there that understands the passion i have for knitting.
The hardest thing is talking about it at work. For the most part because my co-workers don't really understand and have a tendence to poke fun at me.. This of cousre is until I give them something that I have made, then they are nothing but thanks and that is so cool.
But whatever I will never let it get to me. I enjoy knitting and I do not plan on stoping anything soon. Which is good since I have to start getting ready to start making Christmas gifts.
Hey everyone,
I am looking for some interesting dishcloth patterns. I normally create my own... But I am interested to see what other patterns are out there.
So if you have some great patterns lets see them...
this didn't work the last time...have to see if I can get it right this time.
attached should be picture of shawl I did last summer. If successful it is 'Stor Rund Dug' - a Danish doily pattern done as a shawl in Knitpicks 'Paint Your Own' merino lacewieght.
Glad I "found" this forum/site - as I have recently been cut-off from the knitting forum I've been visiting for three plus years. The Evil Queen Bess (content filter) finally caught up with me and blocked acess not only to the main site but both mirror sites as well. I knew it would happen sooner or later, but now am suffering from the lack of up to 300 posts I was reading daily.
Good thing I've got a half-dozen or so projects on the needles to keep my mind occupied.
I have been knitting primarily lace shawls for the past three years or so, since I *finally* figured out how to purl. It only took 40-plus years of trying to learn how. They do nicely as gifts for friends and family; go well as auction items for my favourite charities and are excellent as wedding gifts. Since I have something like 7 weddings in the family and among friends in the next six months or so I plan on being quite busy!!!!!
I've noticed the past few weeks that most postings to this site seem to be in the blog form; which is nice in that it can include photos; but I marvel that the forums are so under-utilized. I guess I just prefer the forum format. The blog forms seem so dis-jointed to me; and they are definately harder to follow for any sort of "conversation"

It's what Houston Mayor Bill White would call a good day in the city of Houston. His proposal to approve the terms of a contract with Earhlink for a city-wide wireless network was met with praise by 12 of the 13 people on the council. Councilman Michael Berry.
"What we're doing is unprecedented. To have an umbrella of coverage for the entire city which is basically what we're going to accomplish, no one has done and by the time we do it no one will have done and I think that's interesting. We were not the first into the wi-fi market and frankly as a result I think we're going to have a better product for our consumer."
Several other people chimed in with their approval of the terms of the agreement. The one holdout was Councilmember Addie Wiseman, who told the mayor she's received no answers to her questions about how much money the city may be expected to pay out for the network in the future.
"In the term sheet it was very clearly stated that the city would invest a minimum of $500,000 annually on this. Now this is a minimum that the term sheet identifies. The term sheet does not identify a maximum and that is a concern that I have."
The mayor responded with an explanation that no maximum was set because council will have to approve those expenditures every year when the budget is up for vote. Now that the terms have been approved, council will still have to vote on an ordinance to actually implement the contract. Laurie Johnson, Houston Public Radio News.

Clery Law Reports
Graduation Rates
In compliance with the Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act (Public Law 101-542) and as amended by the Higher Education Technical Amendments (Public Law 102-26), the following information represents WIU's disclosure of the Graduation Rates of all students and student athletes.
Graduation and Retention Rates
About 53.4 percent of full-time new freshmen and 67.5 percent of full-time new transfers who entered in the Fall of 2005 graduated from WIU by the Summer of 2011. Fall-to-Spring freshman retention rate was 85.8 percent for the Fall 2011 - Spring 2012 period. The Fall-to-Fall freshman retention rate was 71.4 percent for Fall 2010 - 2011.
Fall 2005 New Student Athletes Statistics
Graduation rates of students recruited for participation in intercollegiate athletics are evaluated annually. The total graduation rate for student athletes who received athletically-related aid and matriculated in Fall 2005 and graduated by August 2011 was 69.4 percent. Seventy percent of men and 68.8 percent of women student athletes graduated. However, the small number of student athletes causes the graduation rate to fluctuate from year to year.
Fall 2005 New Freshmen Statistics
- Entering Full-Time New Freshmen (2005): 1,807
- Graduating within 6 years (by Summer 2011): 963 (53.4%)
- Non-completers (still enrolled) and completers > 6 yrs (Fall 2011): 187 (10.3%)
Student Athletes/Graduation
- Entering Student Athletes with Athletic Aid (Fall 2005): 72
- Graduating within 6 years (by Summer 2011): 50 (69.4%)
- Transferred to another institution: 621 (34.3%)

- Tfg (Trk fused gene) is a Carma-1/IKKgamma interacting protein involved in CD40-induced canonical NF-KB signaling (2009)
- Carma-1 is required for B cell receptor-/CD40- and T cell receptor-/CD28-induced B- and T-cell activation via JNK and NF-betaB. In B cells, Carma-1 becomes phosphorylated by PKCbeta, leading to its oligomerization. Subsequent Bcl10 binding induces IKKbeta-activation and, thereby, canonical NF-KB signalling. Despite these findings it is still unknown how exactly Carma-1 is connected to the plasma membrane and to the IKK-complex. Therefore, we purified Carma-1 complexes from mouse CH12 B cells using anti-Carma-1 affinity columns. Mass spectrometric analyses of the column eluates demonstrated the presence of Carma-1 as well as three previously uncharacterized adaptor proteins in B cells, one of which was the Trk-fused gene (Tfg), an adaptor protein containing PB1 and coiledcoil domains. Whereas Tfg was originally identified as fusion partner of oncogenic Trk tyrosine kinase mutants, the normal cellular homologue of Tfg has so far not been described in B cells. However, Tfg has been shown in other systems to interact with IKKgamma and to enhance TNFinduced NF-KB activation. Tfg and Carma-1 co-localized at the plasma membrane and perinuclear structures in B cells. We further corroborated the interactions of Tfg, IKKgamma and Carma-1 by Blue Native gel electrophoresis, where Carma-1 and Tfg formed a 0.7–1 MDa complex. Ectopic expression of Tfg increased the molecular mass of IKKgamma complexes, fused IKKgamma, Bcl10 and Carma-1 complexes to a ~2 MDa complex, and increased basal and CD40-induced canonical activity of NF-KB and IKKbeta. In contrast, shRNA-mediated silencing of Tfg decreased CD40-induced IKKbeta activity. Very interestingly, in primary B cells, highest expression of Tfg was detected in marginal zone and B1 B cells, and Carma-1 and Tfg formed complexes in these B cells. Since Carma-1 is required for marginal zone B cell and B1 B cell development, we suggest that a functional interaction between Carma-1 and Tfg contributes to development and maintenance of these cells by means of canonical NF-KB signals.
- Nitric oxide-independent vasodilator rescues heme-oxidized soluble guanylate cyclase from proteosomal degradation (2009)
- Poster presentation: Background Nitric oxide (NO) is an essential vasodilator. In vascular diseases, oxidative stress attenuates NO signaling by both chemical scavenging of free NO and oxidation and down-regulation of its major intracellular receptor, the alpha/beta heterodimeric heme-containing soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC). Oxidation can also induce loss of sGC's heme and responsiveness to NO. Results sGC activators such as BAY 58-2667 bind to oxidized/heme-free sGC and reactivate the enzyme to exert disease-specific vasodilation. Here we show that oxidation-induced down-regulation of sGC protein extends to isolated blood vessels. Mechanistically, degradation was triggered through sGC ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. The heme-binding site ligand, BAY 58-2667, prevented sGC ubiquitination and stabilized both alpha and beta subunits. Conclusion Collectively, our data establish oxidation-ubiquitination of sGC as a modulator of NO/cGMP signaling and point to a new mechanism of action for sGC activating vasodilators by stabilizing their receptor, oxidized/heme-free sGC.

The objective of the project is the creation of a sensor system able to determine the point of focus of a user's gaze, software capable of directing a robot towards that point, and a robot which is able to move to that location.
There are two main sensor systems being considered for this design. The first (referred to as the base design) consists of ordinary image processing (using OpenCV) where the computer processing the visual input will construct a model based upon a calibration pattern placed on the field. The transformation parameters will be stored so that the relative position of the robot and the target point, marked by an ordinary laser pointer, can be established from future image captures. With the relative locations known, the program will wirelessly transmit instructions to the robotic platform to direct it to the target point. Upon reaching the point, an LED on the robot will be illuminated to indicate the algorithm is finished.

Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Al Lawati Al Tanji Ibn Battuta (Arabic: ÃÈæ ÚÈÏ Çááå ãÍãÏ ÇÈä ÚÈÏ Çááå ÇááæÇÊí ÇáØäÌí Èä ÈØæØÉý) (born February 24, 1304; year of death uncertain, possibly 1368 or 1377) was Arab Muslim Marinid [1] scholar and jurisprudent from the Maliki Madhhab (a school of Fiqh, or Sunni Islamic law), and at times a Qadi or judge. However, he is best known as a traveler and explorer, whose account documents his travels and excursions over a period of almost thirty years, covering some 73,000 miles (117,000 km). These journeys covered almost the entirety of the known Islamic world and beyond, extending from North Africa, West Africa, Southern Europe and Eastern Europe in the West, to the Middle East, Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and China in the East, a distance readily surpassing that of his predecessors and his near-contemporary Marco Polo.
At the instigation of the Sultan of Morocco, Abu Inan Faris, several years after his return, Ibn Battuta dictated an account of his journeys to a scholar named Ibn Juzayy, whom he had met while in Granada. This account, recorded by Ibn Juzayy and interspersed with the latter's own comments, is the primary source of information for his adventures. The title of this initial manuscript ÊÍÝÉ ÇáäÙÇÑ Ýí ÛÑÇÆÈ ÇáÃãÕÇÑ æÚÌÇÆÈ ÇáÃÓÝÇÑ may be translated as A Gift to Those Who Contemplate the Wonders of Cities and the Marvels of Travelling but is often simply referred to as the Rihla ÇáÑÍáÉ, or "Journey". Whilst apparently fictional in places, the Rihla still gives as complete an account as exists of some parts of the world in the 14th century.
Almost all that is known about Ibn Battuta's life comes from one sourceIbn Battuta himself. In some places, the things he claims he saw or did are probably fanciful, but in many others, there is no way to know whether he is reporting or storytelling. However, due to the complexity and thoroughness of his accounts, we are left to assume that his chronicles were in fact true.
An impact crater on the moon, the Ibn Battuta crater, is named after him. A themed shopping mall in Dubai, the Ibn Battuta Mall, also bears his name, with some of his earlier research and inventions in displays scattered throughout its corridors.

Lead agencies must conduct an inspection of each surface mining operation within six months of receiving its annual report, and in no event less than once in any calendar year. These inspections must be conducted using a form developed by the Department of Conservation and approved by the State Mining and Geology Board (SMGB).
The Office of Mine Reclamation (OMR) has updated the Surface Mining Inspection Report form (MRRC-1). The newly revised form was approved by the SMGB at its July 2013 meeting and takes effect July 17, 2013. In addition, OMR has developed a convenient Lead Agency Inspection Notice Form to assist lead agencies with PRC 2774(b) requiring lead agencies submit a notice with the MRRC-1 Inspection Form. These forms are fill and print .pdf for users with Adobe Reader 7.0 or greater. You will need Adobe Acrobat version 7.0 or greater to save data.
Annual reports are required from all mines subject to SMARA from the time they're permitted until they are certified reclaimed, even if they have not begun operation or have ceased operation with no intent to resume. The Office of Mine Reclamation mails annual report forms to each reporting mining operation during May of each year. Reports must be postmarked on or before July 1 of that year.
The Office of Mine Reclamation maintains a database of information submitted annually by mine operators in the State. Because this office derives this information from individual operators, we cannot guarantee its accuracy. Our Mines Online map is refreshed nightly from this database and provides downloads of selected data.If the Mines Online map does not provide the information that you are looking for please fill out and submit a Public Records Act Request Form and e-mail it to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
New Mining Reports are required from all new mines subject to SMARA along with the initial fee of $500. For more information, click here.
