Macbook Pro won't boot
Last night I downloaded an update for iTunes but it would not install.
The screen froze so I turned off the computer and tried to reboot but it just gets stuck on the grey screen with the Apple logo (nothing else).
What has happened and can I do anything to restore it back to normal.
Incidentally the musical chord sounds when I turn it on.
Thanks in anticipation.
Macbook Pro won't boot.
I forgot to mention, there is no spinning disc on the gray screen and I haven' got an installation disc.
Tell us which Mac you have and what version of OS X it's running? You stated that you have no installation disk so I assume that you might be running either Lion or Mountain Lion?
If that's correct, try booting your Mac by holding down the command + r keys as soon as you hear the bong sound. Keep holding them until you see the spinning circle. That procedure should get you into recovery. Select Utilities, Disk Utility, and verify your hard drive. Let us know the result.
Thanks for your reply.
I am running Mountain Lion
Here are the results of the verify tests.
MAC OS X BASE --- The volume Mac OS X Base system seems to be OK
120.03 FUJITSU MHW ------ The partition map seems to be OK
MAC HD --- The volume Mac HD seems to be OK
Does this help
I also tried a new install of mountain lion.
It told me that the recovery HD was locked so I tried Mac HD install.
I was then directed to sign in to download from the app store
I was asked for Apple ID and Password and as I have only had the computer for a couple of weeks (bought it second hand on ebay already had mountain lion installed) I wasn't sure what to enter
I went into change password and Apple ID and changed both. They were verified by email from Apple.
When I entered them into the app store download boxes it stated that I hadn't used these before and wouldn't let me go any further.
I feel the urge to get the large hammer out now. I would really appreciate any help you could provide.
Since you now have your own Apple ID, the app store requires you to purchase a copy of Mountain Lion. Only the original purchaser has the right to download it again. Anyway, it's only $19.99 and well worth the money.
As for your hard drive, it does appear that it's OK. I don't know why you had the original problem, but really, you should wipe it clean anyway and install fresh and therefore start clean. Always a good thing to do when buying used.
I am quite prepared to purchase but it doesn't seem to want me too.
When I enter my Apple ID and password this message appears -- "The Apple ID has not been used with the iTunes store, Please review your account information".
When I click on review nothing happens.
Regards Harry
When you obtained your new Apple ID and entered a password, did you also place a credit card on file with Apple? You won't be able to make purchases from the Mac App Store or the iTunes Store if you don't have a way to pay on file with Apple.
No I didn't put a credit card number on file as I wasn't asked to. I couldn't get any further when it stated----- "The Apple ID has not been used with the iTunes store, Please review your account information".
How can I get my Mac up and running again.
Without a credit card on file with Apple, the Mac App Store won't let you download Mountain Lion. Take a look at this Apple Article: Getting Started with the Mac App Store
You're going to need to access your profile and then enter the credit card you wish to use to pay for purchases from the App Store. After you've done that, it should allow you to download Mountain Lion and charge the purchase to your credit card.
Another hint: Before installing Mountain Lion, make an installable flash drive so that in case you ever need to reinstall you won't have to download Mountain Lion again. You will need an 8 GB flash drive. Follow these instructions: LINK
Macbook Pro won't boot
Regarding my earlier posts (yesterday) still having problems purchasing a fresh copy of Mountain Lion from the app store.
I have emailed Apple and even phoned them (they didn't have a solution but said they would phone me back). Still waiting, not really impressed with their service.
All I want to do is purchase a copy of ML and get my Mac up and running.
I have another Mac but the OS is only 10.5.8 and apparently to download you need 10.6 and above so I can't download the fresh OS to my second computer -- or so I am led to believe.
I have an Apple ID and password and have even registered my credit card with them.
Does anyone out there have a solution to this problem before the hammer comes out.
Many thanks in anticipation.
Unfortunately, sometimes it takes a hammer...Ask for and only speak to a supervisor...escalate from there to corporate e-mail....
Please do not start a new thread. I've merged your two threads together here since the subject matter is the same.

MADISON - Rollette Oil Company has agreed to pay penalties and costs totaling $36,000 for its violations of state hazardous substance spill remediation laws at the site of a former gasoline filling station the company owns in Janesville. The settlement ends an action filed by the Department of Justice (DOJ) against the company in Rock County Circuit Court.
According to the complaint, filed at the request of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Rollette Oil Co. failed to properly investigate and remediate soil and groundwater contamination discovered after underground fuel storage tanks were removed at the site in 1992. This failure is a violation of the Wisconsin law that addresses notification and remediation requirements regarding the discharge of hazardous substances.
"The law requires hazardous substances in underground fuel tanks be properly investigated and discharged," Van Hollen said. "DNR and DOJ will work together to enforce this law designed to protect public health and the environment."
Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Rollette will pay the financial penalty and implement a DNR-approved remediation plan to recover and remove petroleum contaminants from the subsurface at the site.
The settlement was approved by Rock County Circuit Judge Daniel T. Dillon.
Assistant Attorney General Shari Eggleson represented the state.

A yellow flag. Police said they decided to talk to a man after they saw him peeing on a downtown building. The officers said the main displayed signs of being intoxicated, but may have decided that jail was the best place for him to be after finding both a bag of marijuana and a hollowed out e-cigarette that was packed with marijuana in his pockets.
He said, he said, he said. Three men told police that the others either tried to start fights or assaulted them as they were paying for their meals at Mid City Grill. The first man said he was paying for his meal when the second man punched him in the face. The first man said he then punched the second man in retaliation. The first man said a third man then followed him out of the restaurant and tried to start a fight. The second man, however, said the first man punched him in the face as he was paying for his meal. Police said witnesses couldn't corroborate any of the men's stories.
Naked as a jaywalker. Police said they found a drunken, naked woman who did not speak English sitting on a city sidewalk. After an interpreter arrived, officers said the woman told them she was riding with a man when, for reasons which were unknown to her, he told her to get out. The woman told police that no crime had been committed against her, but she herself was arrested for public intoxication.
Coincidence, or Coke conspiracy? Within one hour this week, police received three separate calls regarding Pepsi vending machines that had been broken into. Police responded to the first call about a vandalized Pepsi machine outside of Murphy's Muffler on 311 E. Springbrook Drive. Fifteen minutes later, they responded to another call of a vandalized Pepsi machine at Rotary Park, located at 1001 N. Broadway St. The third call came in 39 minutes later when a parks department employee found a damaged Pepsi machine at Winged Deer Park at 203 Carroll Creek Road.
A redneck Easter. Police cited a woman for shoplifting after Walmart personnel said she tried to run out of the store with $54 worth of Busch beer and $363 worth of various Easter supplies. When a store employee asked her for her proof-of-purchase, she told them she left it at the self-checkout lane, which was closed at the time.
Buyer's remorse. Police said undercover officers watched what they believed to be a drug deal take place between the occupants of two vehicles in the Cherry Street parking lot. After stopping one of the vehicles, police then searched the vehicle – saying that it smelled of marijuana – and said they found 3 grams of marijuana and 1 gram of a substance that field tests would indicate was either methamphetamine or MDMA. Police said the driver told them he just bought the marijuana and the other substance in the Cherry Street lot, but that he was under the impression that he bought crack, not meth or MDMA.
Backing into a corner. A woman was sitting in her car on her lunch break in the CenturyLink parking lot when another car backed across the lot and into her car. When police arrived, they said they found a man asleep in the passenger's side of the second car. Upon waking him, police said, the man appeared "heavily" intoxicated, and he also told them that, if tested, he would test positive for marijuana and certain prescription medications.
The Police Blotter is comprised of reports from the Johnson City Police Department.comments powered by Disqus

(Disclaimer: this tutorial is work in progress and is being tested)
This tutorial is for those operating Mac Os X.
In this post, you will find a slideshow tutorial explaining how to export your developing wordpress site from your local MAMP server to your live server (and to the world!). Before you begin this tutorial, you should be familiar with a few concepts.
1. Working Locally
When developing (coding) a website, it is very helpful to work locally. What this means is that you are working on files on your own personal computer and not working directly onto your live server. This is good practice because you might want not want your site to be accessible to others during development. This is where MAMP comes in. What MAMP is is a program that installs a local server environment to your computer. Using MAMP, you can assign a local url address to your site. This means you can develop the code and check the appearance and function of your coding immediately by visiting this local site in a browser on your computer and you don't have to upload your files to a live server. This saves time and is safer than working from a server or uploading your files every time you want to check your code. In this tutorial, we are going to be specifically dealing with the development of a wordpress site. For more information on how to install and work on a wordpress site with MAMP, take advantage of the following resources:
Installing Wordpress Locally using MAMP
2. Hosting
Most webhosts provide phpMyAdmin in their control panels. If you are confused about whether you have this function, you should contact your webhost. This tutorial is for hosting sites that provide phpMyAdmin.
3. What this tutorial will teach you how to do is to export the site you have developed locally onto your live server. This is something you can do as often as you like as you develop your site. I hope it is helpful.
After going over the comments from my tester, Jonathan, I have decided to provide an alternate tutorial experience. The embedded slideshow is not working as well as one would hope. So, I have broken down the pages to see if perhaps this is easier to work with.
For step five, if you press "go" and are taken to a page full of code and not a prompt to download the .sql file, you have not checked "save as file" in the lower left hand corner of the page (above "file name template).
If you are having a problem accessing your phpMyAdmin through dreamhost, you might find this post helpful: cache problems

It's like I told you.
All that said, it is striking how wars -- no matter how they're packaged -- ultimately breed the same patterns. With public opinion split or even against the war in Libya (at least for now) -- and with questions naturally arising about why we're intervening here to stop the violence but ignoring the growing violence from our good friends in Yemen, Bahrain and elsewhere -- the administration obviously knows that some good, old-fashioned fear-mongering and unique demonization (Gadaffi is a Terrorist with "deadly mustard gas"who might attack us!!) can only help. Then there's the fact that the same faction of war-loving-from-a-safe-distance "hawks" that took the lead in cheering for the attack on Iraq -- neocons on the Right and their "liberal interventionist" counterparts in The New Republic/Brookings/Democratic Party officialdom world -- are playing the same role here. And many of the same manipulative rhetorical tactics are now wielded against war opponents: the Libyan rebels are the new Kurds (they want us to act to protect them!), and just as those who opposed the attack on Iraq were routinely accused of indifference toward if not support for Saddam's tyranny, those who oppose this intervention are now accused of indifference to Gadaffi's butchery (as always: are those refraining from advocating for military intervention in Yemen or Saudi Arabia or Bahrain or the Sudan or dozens of other places indifferent to the violence and other forms of suffering there?).If there is any decency remaining in this country's political class, this war will split the left. I don't like to bolster the conservative machine through infighting on what amounts to our left wing, but at some point you can make strategic goals so central to your policy positions that you stand for nothing at all. Barack Obama, who campaigned on an explicitly antiwar platform, who spoke time and again about the need for Congressional approval of military force, who made argument after argument that would completely disqualify this action-- well, what more can be said? I don't know how to even have a debate with left-wing supporters of this president anymore. I don't blame him for not being able to ram through a domestic policy platform when he can't control Congress, although I do disagree with him on many theoretical and tactical policy issues. (His adviser's constant tendency to mock and deride his left-wing critics doesn't help.)
But as the man himself has shown so terrifyingly the last few days, when it comes to foreign policy and the military, he is essentially unchecked in his ambitions. And he chose this. Whatever you want to say about the makeup and value of the international support for this operation, make no mistake: if Barack Obama did not want this to be happening, it wouldn't be. This commitment of millions of dollars, wagering the lives of thousands, is entirely at the whim of one man, without oversight or approval from his people.
And he has committed himself to engaging in a third war, with another oil rich Middle Eastern nation, with unclear goals, a nonexistent exit strategy, and a series of extremely optimistic and necessarily ill-informed predictions about the future. I would like to urge my liberal friends to consider this situation, the rhetoric used to support it, and those who are clamoring for it, and ask yourself what comfort you can possibly find. If you transported back to talk to your 2006 self, and you told him or her of all this, well-- what would that older you say?
The essential dynamic is the same as always. I find argument hard because the fundamental first principle through which I attend to these issues is so foreign in American discourse: that a humanitarian and democratic commitment to non-intervention binds us and compels us not to wage aggressive war against foreign countries outside of absolute and immediate defensive necessity. What disturbs me so much about those who are arguing the side of the Libyan revolution and against the side of Qaddafi is that they think that this is sufficient to justify engaging in war. That democracy insists that their opinion on the question is irrelevant to whether to go to war, or that even if we knew for a fact what was right and wrong we'd have no right to invade, seems not even to compute, not for a moment. Of course, I prefer the revolution to Qaddafi. I don't mistake my ill-informed (as any must be) preference with real knowledge; I don't mistake the value of my opinion for the value of a Libyan's; I don't pretend that my Western bleeding-heart morals have any right dictating who lives and dies thousands of miles from our borders; I don't imagine that every Libyan who is revolting has inside them some mini-American, waiting to burst forth and adopt perfectly American values. Support for democracy that is dependent on our agreement with the outcome of democracy is a sham.
People are wishing for a best case scenario. So am I. But the principles that compel us to keep our hands off of this foreign, internal strife have been violated by this action and will be no matter what the outcome. And the innocent people killed with still be dead. Any talk of "smart bombing" and warfare free of civilian carnage should have been extinguished in the last decade.
If I am right about what this means for the near future, this will be a difficult time for the left. Perhaps Libya itself will come to a resolution quickly, but as long as the Barack Obamas of the world are bent on casting American firepower around the globe, these divides will endure. Already a lot of temporary allies are jumping ship, and they are beginning the usual drumbeat of redbaiting, eliminationism, and dismissal of the left. It will be tough, but we have just undertaken an action of incredible consequence, and it's right that we fight about it.
Contrary to what some think, I don't like arguing. I hate it, in fact, hate every moment of it. But I am arguing for the most fundamental principles that I know, and so I am ready to start alienating people. I am perfectly willing to risk sociopathy to support the cause that I believe in. To those who say I am being intemperate and unfair to my interlocuters, they are probably right. I'm sorry, but I think extremity in defense of these values is the order of the day. Content yourself with the fact that my position, that of dedicated opposition to military intervention and American hegemony, is reviled and powerless within our affairs.

LAWRENCEVILLE - The second time's the charm for Rex Millsaps, who snagged the votes for mayor of Lawrenceville.Millsaps defeated David Rodriguez, 1,063 to 702 votes, with third mayoral candidate George Abney coming in last with 66 votes. "It's wonderful," the new mayor said of his win. "I've got a lot to do to get ready for this term." This is Millsaps' second time running for mayor. He said he has big shoes to fill as he plans to follow the late Mayor Bobby Sikes. Millsaps said he will be doing his homework over the next few months to prepare for January when he will begin his term. Rodriguez's advice for Millsaps? "Listen to the people," he said. The new mayor said he plans to continue the work Sikes started, beginning by welcoming the Aurora Theater to the city and continuing to develop downtown. "Over the next two years I'll be asking for the support and prayers of community members in making decisions," he said. "I'm looking forward to a smooth transition as I step in as mayor," he said. Johnson, Crowe win council races Running unopposed, Judy Jordan Johnson received 1,569 votes for City Council. She said her focus will be working with the mayor and her fellow council members to complete current projects. Mike Crow came out in the lead over Mary Thompson, receiving 969 of the 1,809 votes for the Post 2 seat. Thompson received 840 votes. Thompson said she was disappointed with the results but happy with voter turnout. Crow said he looks forward to working with the council and mayor to bring Lawrenceville to the point where it should be. "I'm looking forward to a great future with Lawrenceville," he said.

The Cleveland Browns are one of the teams in need of a long-term answer at quarterback and hold the fourth overall pick in the first round of the NFL Draft.
The Browns are willing to trade up to land Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel in the draft if need be, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports, citing sources.
After trading running back Trent Richardson to the Colts for a first-round pick, the Browns have the ammo to pull off a trade to make the move.

We hate to use cliché phrases like "breath of fresh air" and "took my breath away," but when it comes to the interiors of the fabulous Arkansas firm Bear-Hill Interiors, there's just something breathy and breathless about all their spaces that just makes us fall back on tired phrases because they're the only ones we seem to be able to remember.
Bear-Hill Interiors goes for the knockout when they decorate a home. And we don't mean like a technical knock out; no their interiors punch us so hard we're seeing stars. Sorry...more cliché phrases. Back to the interiors. Gorgeous! Bright! Airy! A perfect mix of traditional and modern to create that ever popular transitional style.
Take for instance one of their projects named Brighton. The color palette is a lovely mix of neutrals and a gorgeous aqua blue that pops up in accents and highlights throughout the home. Mingling with that color palette is a group of home furnishings that are comfortable, fun and unexpected. Interesting details like surprising floor patterns or wall art bring in pops of personality.
We really like how each home project they feature in their online portfolio exudes such a unique personality. This is evidence that the folks at Bear-Hill are masters at getting to the heart of what a client needs and wants and designing for them-not for the designers.
We especially like how each home has a similar color palette or concept that flows through each individually decorated room, giving the whole house a very cohesive, comfortable and comforting feel.
A common thread that we spot flowing through all of their interiors? An amazing knowledge and ability to use lights. There are gorgeous table lamps that bring in a warm glow. There are modern and interesting hanging lights that bring in excitement. There are even paper lanterns for interest, texture and casualness. As a lighting company, you know we can get behind a designer who knows how to use lights so well!
Love what you see in this post but want more? Like fun perfect pairs, designer influence profiles and profiles of contemporary designers? Thank goodness for you we've got a Facebook page and tweet a lot; you can keep up with everything Swank Lighting does.

DURHAM, N.H. – Alvin Abreu (Lynn, Mass.) earned his second career double-double registering a team-high 17 points to go along with a career-best 12 rebounds, propelling the University of New Hampshire men's basketball team to a 58-49 victory over Binghamton University on Sunday afternoon at Lundholm Gymnasium.
The Wildcats wrap up the regular season at 13-15 overall and 7-9 in America East play, while the Bearcats are 1-28, 1-15 in the conference. UNH earns the No. 5 seed for next weekend's America East tournament and will take on fourth-seeded University at Albany, while Binghamton nabs the No. 9 seed and will battle eight-seeded University of Maryland Baltimore County.
Abreu was tabbed the America East Player of the Game, adding three assists and two steals to his line. He shot 7 of 14 from the floor and 3 of 4 from deep in the contest.
Jimmy Gray was selected as the player of the game for Binghamton, finishing with a game-high 20 points to go along with five boards, four steals and two helpers.
Brian Benson (Rochester, N.Y.) chipped in with 15 points, eight rebounds and one steal in 37 minutes.
New Hampshire opened the contest on a 19-5 run on the back of Benson, who poured in eight points on a stretch that lasted 6:38. The 'Cats polished off the run with seven unanswered, as Abreu dropped in a pair of layups to cap things off with 12:22 remaining in the first frame.
Ben Dickinson canned a jumper and Omar Richards added a pair of baskets to kick off a 9-3 scoring spurt by the Bearcats that cut the deficit down to eight, 22-14, at 6:41.
Ferg Myrick (Philadelphia, Pa.) would increase the lead to double-digits on a pair of free throws, but Gray sank a jumper and hit 1 of 2 shots from the free throw line, as Binghamton trimmed the score to 24-17.
The 'Cats closed out the stanza on a high note, outscoring the Bearcats 7-2 the rest of the way with Benson once again fueling the offense, netting a 3-pointer and a layup to close out the stretch. He finished the first half with 13 points, sending UNH into the locker room with a 31-19 edge.
Patrick Konan (Gainesville, Fla.) kicked off the second frame with a pair of free throws, igniting a 12-6 scoring run that gave the Wildcats their largest lead of the contest, 43-26, with 10:41 left in regulation.
The Bearcats battled back with a 9-2 scoring spurt, trimming the advantage to 10, 45-35, with 8:14 remaining. Gray iced the run with a trio of free throws, rounding out a string of seven unanswered points.
Abreu answered the call, halting the run with a three that set off a 12-5 run to push the advantage back up to 17, 57-40, with 1:59 on the clock. The senior co-captain put the 'Cats on his back with seven points during the stretch, including baskets on back-to-back possessions to close out the run.
The fifth-seeded Wildcats return to action Saturday, March 3 at 2:15 p.m. when they take on No. 4 Albany in the quarterfinal round of the America East Championship tournament at Hartford's Chase Arena.

[0001] The present invention relates to semiconductor transistors, and more particularly, to a transistor structure oriented having a current flow parallel to a specific crystal direction.
[0002] Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuits include both N-type devices (NMOS) and P-type devices (PMOS), the former utilizing electrons as the carriers and the latter utilizing holes as the carriers. CMOS technology is employed in the large majority of integrated circuits manufactured today.
[0003] An important factor in the performance of CMOS integrated circuits is the presence of good mobility for both holes and electrons. The mobility of both carriers should be as high as possible to enhance both PMOS and NMOS performance. The overall CMOS circuit performance depends similarly on both NMOS and PMOS performance, and thus in turn, on both electron and hole mobility.
[0004] It is known that the application of stress on a semiconductor material, such as silicon, changes the mobility of electrons and holes, which in turn modifies the performance of NMOS and PMOS devices formed thereon. An increase in mobility results in increased performance. However, it has also been found that the electron and hole mobilities do not always react the same way to stress, thereby complicating the process. In addition, the dependence of mobility on stress depends on the surface orientation of the crystalline semiconductor material and the directions of stress and current flow. For example, for current flow along the <110> directions on {100} planes, longitudinal tensile stress tends to increase the mobility of electrons and decrease the mobility of holes. In contrast, for current flow along the <100> directions on {100} planes, longitudinal tensile stress tends to increase the mobility of both electrons and holes.
[0005] Currently, semiconductor devices are oriented such that the current flows along the <110> direction on {100} silicon. This can be seen in FIG. 2, which shows a top view of a semiconductor wafer 201. The semiconductor wafer 201 is commonly referred to as "{100} silicon," which is the predominant type of semiconductor wafer being used today. In the prior art, NMOS and PMOS transistors 203 are oriented in such a manner so that the current flow between source and drain is aligned with the <110> direction, relative to the semiconductor wafer 201. Thus, the transistors 203 are oriented as shown in FIG. 2.
[0006] In this orientation, the mobilities of electrons and holes change inversely in reaction to longitudinal stress. In other words, when stress is applied to the underlying silicon along the direction of current flow, either the electron mobility is increased and the hole mobility is decreased or the hole mobility is increased and the electron mobility is decreased. Thus, in such an arrangement, the overall CMOS circuit performance is not enhanced.
[0007] For this reason, selective stressing of the silicon material must be employed to increase the carrier mobility of one type of device without degrading the mobility of the other type of device. Thus, stress may be applied to the wafer 201 in the location of transistor 203 a, but not transistor 203 b, or vice versa. This requires costly processing steps that may include masking, deposition, or etching.
[0008]FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the three types of crystalline orientation for silicon.
[0009]FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a prior art orientation of CMOS devices on a semiconductor wafer.
[0010]FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an orientation of CMOS devices on a semiconductor wafer in accordance with the present invention.
[0011]FIG. 4A is a chart showing the piezoresistive coefficients for a P-type {100} silicon substrate as a function of current flow direction.
[0012]FIG. 4B is a chart showing the piezoresistive coefficients for an N-type {100} silicon substrate as a function of current flow direction.
[0013]FIG. 5 shows a transistor that is undergoing longitudinal tensile stress.
[0014]FIG. 6 shows a transistor that is undergoing transverse tensile stress.
[0015] Silicon (Si) is presently the most important semiconductor for the electronics industry. Most silicon that is used to form silicon wafers is formed from single crystal silicon. The silicon wafers serve as the substrate on which CMOS devices are formed. The silicon wafers are also referred to as a semiconductor substrate or a semiconductor wafer.
[0016] In crystalline silicon, the atoms which make up the solid are arranged in a periodic fashion. If the periodic arrangement exists throughout the entire solid, the substance is defined as being formed of a single crystal. If the solid is composed of a myriad of single crystal regions the solid is referred to as polycrystalline material.
[0017] Silicon, as used in integrated circuits, can be in one of three forms: (1) single crystal silicon, (2) polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon), and (3) amorphous silicon. As noted above, silicon wafers are fabricated to have single crystal form.
[0018] The periodic arrangement of atoms in a crystal is called the lattice. The crystal lattice also contains a volume which is representative of the entire lattice and is referred to as a unit cell that is regularly repeated throughout the crystal.
[0019] Silicon has a diamond cubic lattice structure, which can be represented as two interpenetrating face centered cubic lattices. Thus, the simplicity of analyzing and visualizing cubic lattices can be extended to characterization of silicon crystals. In the description herein, references to various planes in silicon crystals will be made, especially to the {100}, {110}, and {111} planes.
[0020] These planes describe the orientation of the plane of silicon atoms relative to the principle crystalline axes. The numbers {xyz} are referred to as Miller indices and are determined from the reciprocals of the points at which the crystal plane of silicon intersects the principle crystalline axes. Thus, FIG. 1 shows three orientations of the crystal plane of silicon. In FIG. 1(A), the crystal plane of silicon intersects the x-axis at 1 and never intersects the y or z-axis. Therefore, the orientation of this type of crystalline silicon is {100}. Similarly, FIG. 1(B) shows {110} crystalline silicon and FIG. 1(C) shows {111} silicon. The {111} and {100} orientations are the two primary wafer orientations in commercial use.
[0021] Note that for any given plane in a cubic crystal there are five other equivalent planes. Thus, the six sides of the cube comprising the basic unit cell of the crystal are all considered {100} planes. The notation {xyz} refers to all six of the equivalent planes.
[0022] Reference will also be made herein to the crystal directions, especially the <100>, <110> and <111> directions. These are defined as the normal direction to the respective plane. Thus, the <100> direction is the direction normal to the {100} plane. The notation <xyz>refers to all six equivalent directions.
[0023] As noted above, in the prior art, most MOS transistors are fabricated on {100} silicon with the gates oriented such that current flows parallel to the <110> directions. This is shown in FIG. 2.
[0024] In accordance with the present invention, the MOS transistors are oriented so that current flow is substantially along the <100> direction as shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 3 shows a top view of a semiconductor wafer 301 formed from {100} silicon. Transistor devices, formed on the semiconductor wafer 301, are represented by transistors 303 a and 303 b. The orientation of the transistors 303 a and 303 b are such that current that flows between the source and drain of the transistors is substantially along the <100> direction of the semiconductor wafer 301. Clearly, the transistors 303 a and 303 b are not drawn to scale and are meant to be exemplary.
[0025] Thus, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, devices formed on the silicon wafer have a specific device orientation and a fabrication process is used that induces longitudinal tensile stress in the channel region of the devices. The longitudinal tensile stress on the channel will increase the mobility of electrons without degrading the mobility of holes.
[0026] In the prior art, devices were oriented such that the current flows substantially along the <110> directions on {100} silicon. In this orientation, the mobilities of electrons and holes change in opposite directions in reaction to longitudinal tensile stress. Thus, the overall CMOS circuit performance is not enhanced. For this reason, selective stressing is employed to increase the carrying mobility of one type of device without degrading the other. This requires costly processing steps.
[0027] By orienting the devices to have their current flow in the <100> direction, this reduces or reverses the relative degradation of one carrier mobility commensurate with a given amount of increase in the mobility of the other type of carrier due to stress. This eliminates the need for selective stressing to realize an acceptable overall performance gain. The orientation of the present invention enables stress to be used as a tool to increase CMOS circuit performance.
[0028] The piezoresistive coefficients for silicon are anisotropic relative to the direction of current flow. FIG. 4a shows the piezoresistive coefficient for a p-type region of a semiconductor substrate and FIG. 4b shows the piezoresistive coefficient for an n-type region of a semiconductor substrate as a function of direction of current flow on the {100} surfaces. NMOS transistors are known to behave similarly to n-type regions and have similar piezoresistive coefficients, as do PMOS transistors and p-type regions. Thus, FIGS. 4a and 4 b are applicable to NMOS and PMOS transistors.
[0029] The piezoresistive coefficients relate the change in resistance along various directions when stress is applied. Positive values indicate an increase in resistance for tensile stress. The change in resistance is inversely proportional to the change in mobility, which is directly proportional to the speed of the transistor. Thus, a higher resistance results in a slower transistor.
[0030] A longitudinal tensile stress is defined as a "stretching" of the channel in the same direction in which current flows. For example, as seen in FIG. 5, a transistor 601 is seen that has a gate 603, a source 605, and a drain 607. When an appropriate voltage is applied to the gate 603, current flows between the source 605 and the drain 607 along the direction arrow 609. A longitudinal tensile stress would be stress that tends to move the source 605 and drain 607 apart along direction 609. Additionally, a longitudinal compressive stress would be stress that tends to move the source 605 and drain 607 closer together along direction 609.
[0031] A transverse tensile stress is defined as a "stretching" of the channel in a direction orthogonal to which the current flows. For example, as seen in FIG. 6, a transistor 701 is seen that has a gate 703, a source 705, and a drain 707. When an appropriate voltage is applied to the gate 703, current flows between the source 705 and the drain 707 along the direction arrow 709. A transverse tensile stress would be stress that is in a direction 711 that is orthogonal to the direction of current flow 709.
[0032] As seen in FIG. 4b, when a longitudinal tensile stress (as indicated by solid line 401) is applied to an n-type region of a semiconductor wafer, the piezoresistive coefficient is at a minimum (approx −100 units) in the <100> direction. As seen in FIG. 4a, when the same longitudinal tensile stress (as indicated by solid line 403) is applied to a p-type region of the semiconductor wafer, the piezoresistive coefficient is only slightly above the neutral condition (0 units).
[0033] Thus, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, transistors should be oriented to have current flowing in the <100> direction and applying longitudinal tensile stress in the <100> direction. This will result in an increase in the speed of NMOS transistors without affecting the PMOS transistors. This is preferable to the <110> orientation of the prior art, where the PMOS transistor is degraded with the addition of such stress, necessitating a cumbersome selective stress processing to enable an overall gain.
[0034] In accordance with an alternative embodiment, it is possible to orient the transistor devices to have current flow in the <110> direction while applying a transverse stress (as indicated by the dashed lines 405 and 407). For PMOS transistors, this gives about a −70 value and for NMOS transistors, this gives about a −25 value. However, in practice, this is difficult to accomplish because transistors are typically many times wider than they are long. Thus, a force applied on the side of the channel, which would cause transverse stress, is greatly diminished in the middle of the channel.
[0035] The particular details of introducing a longitudinal tensile stress on a substrate are well known in the art and will not be discussed in detail herein. For example, in one embodiment, application of high-tensile nitride dielectric is used. The high-tensile nitride dielectric is also referred to herein as a "stressor" structure that will implement the tensile stress. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the stressor structure may be a tensile shallow trench isolation (STI) fill. Although two examples of stressors are given as an example, the term "stressor" as used herein shall mean any structure that causes tensile stress. Additionally, the formation of transistors oriented to have their current flow in the <100> direction is relatively straightforward. This can be done, for example, by rotating either the underlying semiconductor wafer or the production masks 45 degrees relative to the prior art orientation (for a {100} silicon wafer).
[0036] While specific embodiments and applications of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the precise configuration and components disclosed herein. Various modifications, changes, and variations, which will be apparent to those skilled in the art, may be made in the arrangement, operation, and details of the methods and systems of the present invention disclosed herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
[0037] These modifications can be made to the invention in light of the above detailed description. The terms used in the following claims should not be construed to limit the invention to the specific embodiments disclosed in the specification and the claims. Rather, the scope of the invention is to be determined entirely by the following claims, which are to be construed in accordance with established doctrines of claim interpretation.

Mini Break
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Two hours to myself with no boys to run around after and no questions to answer? This sounds like utopia to me. Amarys slept in my Ergo carrier, and I listened to Cold Play on my Ipod and crocheted. And then I listened to Snow Patrol. And then Sufjan Stevens. Wintersleep.
Then we got on the ferry and what did Amarys do for the 90 minute ferry ride? Slept! I crocheted some more. Read my book. Wow, I haven't had four hours so relaxing in years. I'm an introvert, see? Four hours to myself is like winning the lottery when you're an introvert with four small children. Everyone likes time alone. I think I like it more than everyone.
My cousin picked us up on the other end, and we hustled around getting the last minute Gala items done. I donated 6 of my toys to the silent auction, and they all sold to the two six year olds at the fundraiser: so cute! One bought three aliens, the other bought a lion, a spider, and a fish.
The Gala was great, very well organized, and fun! We had to compete with the hockey game though.
Next morning I stayed in bed til 10. Amarys woke me up around 7:30, but because her food is stuck to my chest I didn't actually have to get out of my bed until whenever I got too hungry to lay about and read my book anymore. We visited, ate some good food, and I came back on the ferry that night. Wow, was that ever awesome! I loved to go, and I loved to come back. It was a great vacation. It was a great visit. And a great Gala. Funny how when Ayden was little I used to think he was So Much Work, and now getting away with Amarys is as good as a weekend by myself. Its the most relaxing thing I can think of to do. What was I thinking? One kid?!?! Some diapers and a boob and you're good to go.
My aunt bought Amarys that big flower headband I posted a few days ago. Smashing, isn't it? I have wanted one of those since the MINUTE she was born.
Speaking of hockey games, did everyone see what happened yesterday? I mean, its one thing to lose a stanley cup [when you want it bad, but really, in this series, we didn't deserve it after our performances in Boston], and its entirely another to destroy downtown Vancouver with a massive, hours long riot, smashing every window in downtown, looting department stores, overturning vehicles, and setting them on fire. Over 150 people were injured, and there was at least one fatality. It was mayhem. I knew it would be, if we lost, given that the same thing happened in 1994, the last time the Canucks lost the playoffs.....
Way to go, idiots. Way to make a mother proud.
Maybe they all need a mini break?

In the past 50 years, the total distance travelled by Britons more than trebled, but the time spent travelling every day stayed almost the same: one hour. This phenomenon is not just a British one. A recent report by international car companies suggested that, whether people live in a Tanzanian village, Japan, Norway or the US, they all travel about 60 minutes a day, though distances range from five to 60 kilometres.* It is almost as if humans have a primeval instinct that says they can't afford to take more time out from more basic needs such as feeding the family and sleeping.
The conclusion is clear: people won't travel further unless it is easy to do so. What we need, then, to curb the problems of congestion and unreliable transport is to reduce the demand on, rather than increase the supply of, transport. An anti-transport policy, so to speak.
Last month, Britain took a first step in this direction: a major report for the government's Orbit study into the future of the M25 motorway encircling London drew attention to the problems that would arise from encouraging an even greater demand to travel. The report blamed this demand on an ever-increasing, wealthier population, and the dispersal of households and jobs away from urban towns and cities to less congested rural areas.
The report went on to recommend that the M25 be widened, and tolls imposed. It also urged better matching of housing and jobs at both the quality and affordable ends of the spectrum; higher-density developments, which would mean that services such as post offices and hospitals were concentrated in one area; and focusing residential building near minor railway stations and offices and workplaces near larger stations. It also called for careful use of pricing to avoid encouraging people to move to rural areas, where they would grow more dependent on long journeys and cars.
Going beyond this report, a government anti-transport policy would support urban rather than rural growth because leisure, retail and other services can be consolidated where they are well served by existing radial transport links. Equally, according to Brian Smith, director of transport and environment for Cambridgeshire County Council, it would emphasise the need for better urban design to persuade people of the benefits of these higher-density developments.
Such ideas are winning support, albeit slowly. One way of forcing the pace of change is to use economic controls such as rail fares and motoring taxes, says Professor Sir Peter Hall, director of the Institute of Community Studies in London. Hall cites European railways, such as the lauded French TGV high-speed service, that put up the price of tickets at peak times to discourage people from using the system for daily journeys. In Britain, by contrast, commuters get discounts for buying season tickets, which, on the east coast mainline, encourage them to travel 400 miles a day from York to London and back. And when the west coast mainline is upgraded to 110mph or 125mph, passengers could live in Manchester and work in London on the same basis.
"I definitely wouldn't encourage people to travel 100 or even 200 miles at two miles a minute, but this is increasingly happening," Hall explains. "I tend to be a bit of a cynic-realist: if people have the means to travel - a car and the means to fill the tank up - they will travel, so there's nothing like economic instruments."
Another way to prompt change is to use targeted persuasion. A good example, according to Brian Smith, is Australian-style individualised marketing to educate people to minimise car trips. He argues that the government should balance the "economies of scale" of consolidating services from post offices to hospitals with the wider social costs of the loss of these local services and the need to travel greater distances to avail ourselves of them. "There are tensions within the government system," he says. "They are pulling in different directions."
At present, such is the political sensitivity of transport policy that nearly every means of reducing demand will prove highly controversial. And there is a risk that people would use the time saved on commuting to make other journeys, to visit friends, say, or to eat at more far-flung restaurants. These concerns, however, are overshadowed by the growing problems of providing for the inexorably rising demand for mobility. The government's current transport policy will exacerbate the country's long-term transport problems unless it is accompanied by an anti-transport policy, too.

It's early June, crops are planted, and Gloria Trevisi, newest editor of the Plattsford Sun, is learning that the genteel rural life has an ugly undercurrent. A local politician-turned-developer is found dead in his own future industrial park. As editor of Plattsford's local paper, Gloria's mission is to sort through a maze of local gossip, delve behind the polite facade of rural society, and discover the truth, preferably before her news deadline. But it won't be easy if she's in jail…

Title: Buried Strangers
Author: Leighton Gage
Synopsis: A playful dog finds a bone at the outset of this mystery set in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Chief Inspector Mario Silva of the federal police based in Brasilia and his team of investigators, Hector Costa and Arnaldo Nunes, are called in. The bone is human and the investigators soon unearth a clandestine cemetery. Someone has secretly disposed of the bodies of unknown human beings, often interred in family groups. And in Sao Paulo, it turns out, many patrons of a local travel agency have never reached their North American destinations. The motive for these mass murders is completely contemporary and completely appalling.

Making the most of your business dollars and saving yourself money
in the end is something that every business owner should do.
Yet another problem could be than a non-expense item that is omitted will affect the
company's balance sheet, and the resulting financial analysis.
There are just a few types of accounting degrees available
as compared to technology and science courses but job opportunities abound for any hardworking accountant.

Thursday poll: Should elderly drivers have to take a retest?
Reader Jackie Malone of Scotia suggested we have a conversation about whether elderly motorists should be subject to re-tests to see if they are still capable of driving. The inspiration for this is this news about a driver, who will soon turn 101, who plowed into 11 people, including nine children, in Los Angeles. Fortunately, no […] [Read More]
Should roads be designed with older drivers in mind?
As baby boomers age, there will be more drivers 65 and older on the road. Does that mean road designers should make accommodations like bigger lettering on street signs, brighter lighting and wider lane markings? A report by The Road Improvement Program, released Wednesday in conjunction with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation […] [Read More]
No longer babies, boomers are now aging drivers
Over the next five years, the number of drivers 65 and older is expected to grow by 60 percent. Older drivers can have trouble with vision, especially at night. Their hearing may be weakened, and their reaction times slowed. They can have trouble turning left and fail to yield the right of way. A growing […] [Read More]
Should seniors have to take driving tests?
In a provocative piece, Al Neuharth, founder of USA Today, says older drivers should be required to take driving tests to make sure they can still handle their cars. Neuharth himself is 86 and just applied to renew his Florida driver's license. Do you think older drivers should be required to take a test, or […] [Read More]

SAT Participation & Performance on the Rise
Administering the school-day SAT for Irving ISD juniors has lead to a significant increase in test takers and higher average scores on the test.
In 2010, prior to the school-day administration of the SAT, Irving ISD students' participation rates on both the SAT and the ACT were unacceptably low. The Irving ISD District Improvement Plan included two main objectives:
(1) to increase both the participation of students in college admissions testing programs (2) to improve the performance of students on these important tests
The participation of students taking the SAT saw a tremendous jump in within the district, from 39% (class of 2010) to 77% (class of 2012). The class of 2012 participation rate of 77% is significant when compared to the 2012 participation rate of Texas (62%) and the 2011 participation rate of the nation (54%).
Irving ISD is proud that while an increase in participation is often accompanied by an initial decline in performance, the class of 2012 showed a 15 point improvement in SAT scores.

SEATTLE (AP) Amazon.com says it is hiring 70,000 full-time seasonal workers around the U.S. to fill orders during the holiday season.
The world's largest online retailer says the hires are an increase of 40 percent over last year's 50,000 workers. Seasonal employees at Amazon.com Inc. order fulfillment centers are eligible for health care benefits and, on average, earn 94 percent of the wages of regular employees.
Amazon says it plans to convert "thousands" of the temporary jobs into full-time roles after the holiday season.
Tuesday's announcement from the Seattle-based company follows seasonal hiring announcements from other large retailers. Wal-Mart Stores said last week that it is hiring 55,000 seasonal workers. It is also elevating 35,000 temporary workers to part-time positions and 35,000 part-time workers to full-time jobs.

The information below will give you a greater understanding of current rules and Regent's University London's administrative processes to help you obtain a visa.
Please note however, that we can only inform you of current regulations and we are not legally in a position to give any immigration advice on applying for visas. If you need further information please direct your enquiries to the Home Office website.

Lexington Police said they responded to 25 weather-related wrecks Sunday evening between five and nine p.m.
They said only three of those had injuries.
"It's very difficult to drive under these conditions," said Major Daniel Bellot with the Lexington Fire Department.
Major Bellot said Sunday's combination of rain, sleet and snow made the roads very dangerous.
A pick-up truck carrying a trailer slide on the icy I-75 N bridge crossing the Kentucky River near Clay's Ferry.
A semi-truck slammed into the trailer sending debris across the highway.
"Bridges and overpasses will freeze a little quicker than the rest of the roads," said Major Bellot.
