It's that time of the year again. Lake Erie and Sandusky Bay levels are down, but shouldn't cause too much concern, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
"In the fall, the levels are generally lower because of all the evaporation over the summer," said Steve Holland, Federal Consistency Coordinator for ODNR.
During March, April, May and June, water levels rise because ice is thawing. By the middle of July, water levels peak and begin to decline again because of evaporation.
The area is also going through what experts call a seiche, when wind blows water to one end of the lake. Dave Kelch, extension specialist with the OSU Ohio Sea Grant program, compares it to a teeter-totter.
"You can probably see the bottom of Sandusky Bay," he said. "Lake Erie (water level) actually tilts when we get a lot of strong wind. I bet if you called down to Buffalo, N.Y., there'd be water in the streets."
According to the Web site for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, water levels at Buffalo peaked at noon Tuesday at about five feet above low-water datum, a baseline measurement for lake levels. At the same time, water levels at Marblehead were about 2 1/2 feet below the same baseline. By noon Thursday, the situation was reversing, with Buffalo's lake levels dropping to 15-20 inches above datum and Marblehead's water levels heading to 5-15 inches above.
Kelch said the water level in Lake Erie is at the same level it was last year, even though it may look much lower.
"This is not something that doesn't happen on a frequent basis," he said. "It happens, just a lot of times we don't notice because it's not as obvious as it is now."
The U.S. Coast Guard, however, had to move two of its boats from Marblehead to the Jackson Street Pier in Sandusky, something they haven't had to do in years. Also in the bay, a wrecked freighter whose frame has remained where it was since it burned to the waterline in the 1930s was revealed as water levels dropped.
"It's a rarity. Due to the gale winds and the way the wind was blowing, it blew all the water out of our Bay," said Melissa Cox, Coast Guard seaman. "The winds were so fierce, it dropped rapidly."
Though the water is at the same level as it was this time last year, Kelch said it has been dropping over time. The water level in Lake Erie is more than 3 feet lower than it was in 1986.

- There are four main challenges when developing solutions for Super Mobile Devices; CPU/GPU performance improvement with less power, wider memory bandwidth for better display, security enhancement, and offering of optimized total solution. This presentation goes over the challenges above and Samsung's readiness by leveraging wide product portfolios and solutions.
Cloud Computing is a new computing model/new business model. It is a major paradigm shift for the IT industry. In many ways, Cloud Computing presents a challenge to the hardware centric IT industry in Taiwan. Our government has put together the "Cloud Computing Applications and Industry Development Plan" to transform Taiwan's IT industry to the cloud computing era.
In this talk, we will present a summary of the Cloud Computing Applications and Industry Development Strategy and will introduce the efforts of government and our cloud association to help Taiwan Cloud industry. we will also discuss the cloud computing transformation of Taiwan companies with some examples.
The mobile industry has begun a new virtuous circle. What are the key variables in mobile industry? How do we face severe competition worldwide and product cycles that grow shorter and shorter, flexibility and speed to market have become important industry core competencies in the mobile industry. The brave and strong players like Samsung lions, or smart as Taiwan foxes, all hold strategic position for new opportunity. But, no one could win without paying attention to China market. In what ways are Korean and Taiwanese firms cooperating most effectively in the ICT industry?
I'll introduce the Taiwan and Korea industry/s greatest strengths and weaknesses in this lecture. In further, we also have to redefine the "competition" from different perspectives of Korean and Taiwan.
- Software-defined cloud systems refer to the ability to use software to define the control plane of a cloud device, be it a rack of servers, a network of switches, a storage system or even an entire data center. In this presentation, It will explain the key concepts and technical trends of software-defined cloud system architecture and focus on software-defined networks and storage systems.
The world is faced with global warming problem and the carbon emission is a main reason. Today, reducing carbon emission is the biggest challenge of Humankind. There is no exception to this challenge in IT industry, so many of IT companies are trying to reduce carbon emission by adopting energy saving gadgets. It is more and more important to reduce power consumption in this data explosion era, therefore lots of mobile business companies are using energy efficient cloud computing service to obtain the maximum output with minimum input.
In this session, we will introduce how the low-power, high-performance memory solution affect the efficiency of data center with practical examples.
We will also touch each service area for cloud computing and propose the Samsung Green Memory solutions to share our vision for Green Industry.
- The fast growth of Tablet PC and the cannibalization on the Notebook PC has confirmed that Tablet PC will be the mainstream mobile computing devices. The fast growing tablet PC has also changed the end users' attitudes to the other entertainment devices, such as smart TV and smart phone. So new "Multi-Screen Replacement" becoming a challenge for the manufacturers. In this session we will share perspective about some key points for such fast growth of Tablet PC; display roadmap, touch compatibility, new technologies(LTPS, Oxide TFT and even AMOLED) etc.
- The expectations from users of mobile platforms continue to spiral. Smartphones and tablets are now replacing personal computers and mobile platforms are becoming the central computing experience in many of our lives. This presentation will lay out some of the techniques being deployed in leading-edge mobile application processors that are going to continue the trend in increasing compute performance on mobile devices that will result in future mobile platforms. ARM has been focused for many years on maximizing the performance that can be delivered in an energy-constrained environment. This presentation will discuss the techniques of heterogeneous computing that are deployed in the latest ARM® Cortex™-A processors, ARM Mali™ GPUs and the challenges and the keys to efficient multiprocessor system implementations. We will show some specific system benchmark comparisons, including some based on ARM big.LITTLE™heterogeneous processor configurations. Further we will explore the new experiences that will be made possible by GPU computing with Mali GPUs
- Importance of the Tablet business is growing as smart phone market starts the sign of saturation. The key to succeed in the tablet market is to provide the quality user experience to users, and this aspect is more important than other mobile devices since users are interacting with bigger screen with finer resolution. However, still most of the tablet OEMs, especially in Android tablets, are focusing on the hardware specs and cost, which are not necessarily translated into better user experience. In this session, we will review the latest study on tablet usage behavior, which shows various spectrum of what users want depending on the segments. Based on this, the gap between what users expect and what are actually offered by Tablet OEMs is defined, then how to fill the gap by offering total solution - software, hardware, components, OS etc. - will be discussed.
Tablet has become a synergy device between handset and IT products. Numerous and diversified players have joined this campaign.
As the competition gets severe, tablet players seek the way to differentiate themselves from others.
Display takes a more important role to make the tablet different.
As a forward moving and competitive provider, Samsung would like to present you display solution for high resolution, low power consumption, and touch.

A multilayer, III-V semiconductive structure can be disordered and shifted up in energy gap into a single crystalline form by a Zinc diffusion. More specifically, all or selected portions of a multilayer of either gallium arsenide/aluminum arsenide or gallium arsenide/aluminum gallium arsenide can be converted into single crystal aluminum gallium arsenide having a higher energy gap than that of the original structure by the process of a Zinc diffusion at low temperature. Other active devices can then be constructed in the higher energy gap material using established semiconductor processing steps.
1. A method for converting a multilayer structure comprising first active semiconductor regions interposed between second semiconductor barrier layers, to a disordered mixture of both said first and second semiconductors, said mixture exhibiting a higher energy gap than said first active semiconductor region, said regions being sufficiently thin that they exhibit quantum well effects, the method comprising: disordering said regions by the introduction of Zinc atoms into said multilayer structure.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the thickness of said first active semiconductor region is 500 Angstroms or less.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein said first active semiconducting region is GaAs.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein said second semiconductor barrier layer is AlAs.
5. The method of claim 3, wherein said second semiconductor barrier layer is Alx Ga1-x As.
6. The method of claim 4, further including the additional step of bombarding said structure, after said Zinc introduction, with a source of protons.
7. A method for integrating semiconductor devices into a monolithic structure, at least some of said devices being light emitting and including heterojunction multilayer structure, the method comprising:
constructing a heterojunction light emitting semiconductor device which include multiple layers of interspersed active and barrier semiconductor regions, said active regions being 500 Angstroms or less in thickness;
masking portions of said device; and
introducing Zinc atoms into unmasked portions of said device at a temperature sufficient to cause said active and barrier regions to compositionally disorder to a higher energy gap material than said active semiconductor region.
8. The invention as defined in claim 7 further including the step of:
bombarding said unmasked portions of said device with protons.
9. The invention as defined in claim 7 wherein said Zinc atoms are introduced at temperatures in a range below the cross diffusion temperature of said multilayers.
10. The invention as defined in claim 9 wherein said active semiconductor region is GaAs and said barrier semiconductor region is AlAs.
11. A method for integrating a semiconductor device into a monolithic structure, at least some of said device including heterojunction multilayer structures, the method comprising:
constructing a heterojunction semiconductor device which includes multiple layers of thin interspersed active and barrier semiconductor regions;
masking portions of said device; and
introducing zinc atoms into unmasked portions of said device to cause said active and barrier regions in said unmasked portions to compositionally disorder to a higher energy gap material than said active semiconductor region.
This invention relates to improvements in semiconductive devices, and more particularly to a method for producing integrated light emitting semiconductor devices. The United States Government has rights in this invention as a result of financial support by NSF grants DMR 79-09991 and DMR 77-23999.
Light emitting semiconductors are well known in the prior art. One of the more widely used light emitting devices is a heterojunction light emitter fabricated, for example, using a gallium arsenide/aluminum gallium arsenide material system. In such devices, a pair of relatively wide band gap layers (aluminum gallium arsenide) of opposite conductivity type are sandwiched around an active region (gallium arsenide). The interfaces between the active region and the wide band gap layers form a pair of heterojunctions. These heterojunctions effectively provide both carrier and optical confinement. The devices are generally used as light emitting diodes or lasers and may be energized using an electrical current or by optical pumping.
An improved light emitting device is described in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 209,240 to N. Holonyak and assigned to a common assignee as is this application. Therein is described a light emitting device wherein the active region comprises one or more layers of gallium arsenide separated by aluminum arsenide barrier layers. The aluminum arsenide binary layers replace previously employed aluminum gallium arsenide ternary barrier layers for the reason that the latter ternary layers have been found to be inherently disordered and to exhibit alloy clustering in the regions adjacent to the gallium arsenide/aluminum gallium arsenide interface. That clustering leads to the device requiring larger threshold currents and exhibiting lower efficiencies. The disclosure and teachings of the aforementioned patent application are incorporated herein by reference.
Light emitting devices such as those described above are generally, although not necessarily, grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition ("MO-CVD"), which is described, for example, in a publication entitled "Chemical Vapor Deposition for New Material Applications," appearing in the June, 1978, issue of "Electronic Packaging and Production." Such devices are also grown by molecular beam epitaxy, liquid phase epitaxy, or other suitable deposition techniques. The MO-CVD and MBE processes are generally the preferred ones.
In all of the aforementioned processes, the light emitting devices are produced in wafer form, which wafer is then cleaved or cut to produce individual light emitting diodes or lasers. This is in contrast to the well-known integrated circuit technology wherein large numbers of active devices are constructed and interconnected on a single chip. Such integration, heretofore, has been unavailable, on a practical basis, for the above-mentioned light emitting semiconductor devices. Attempts to integrate light emitting devices have generally been rather crude--involving the actual physical emplacement of light-emitting structures in etched-out substrates. Such a structure is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,165,474 to D. J. Myers.
It is clear that an economic method of integrating heterojunction light emitting devices into larger scale integrated circuits would be an important contribution to the expansion of optical data processing and data communications.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a method which enables the integration of III-V compound heterojunction devices into an overall integrated structure.
It is another object of this invention to provide a method for constructing integrated optoelectronic devices which method is both simple and fits with present semiconductor processing technology.
In accordance with the above objects, it has been discovered that a multilayer, III-V semiconductive structure can be disordered and shifted up in energy gap into a single crystalline form by the expedient of a Zinc diffusion. More specifically, all or selected portions of a multilayer of either gallium arsenide/aluminum arsenide or gallium arsenide/aluminum gallium arsenide can be converted into single crystal aluminum gallium arsenide having a higher energy gap than that of the original structure by the process of a Zinc diffusion at low temperature. Other active devices can then be constructed in the higher energy gap material using established semiconductor processing steps.
FIG. 1 is a section view of a superlattice heterostructure constructed in accordance with the teachings of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 209,240.
FIG. 2 is the structure of FIG. 1 after a Zinc diffusion and additional processing.
FIG. 3 is the device of FIG. 2 after the electrical contacts have been emplaced.
FIG. 4 is a plan view of the light emitting device of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a field effect transistor constructed in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 6 is a plan view of an integrated optical processing device.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a semiconductor heterostructure device in accordance with that described in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 209,240. The entire device is constructed on a gallium arsenide semi-insulating or conducting substrate 10. A pair of outer buffer or contact layers 12 and 14 encompasses a pair of injecting/collecting (i.e., injecting or collecting) regions 16 and 18, which are preferably, although not necessarily, of opposite conductivity type. A superlattice (many-layer) structure 20 is encompassed between regions 16 and 18 which structure is shown in a blown-up view to the right of the device. Superlattice 20 comprises a plurality of interleaved lower gap, active regions 22 sandwiched between higher gap barrier layers 24.
The injecting/collecting confining regions 16 and 18 are of a relatively wide band gap semiconductor material and active layers 22 are of a relatively narrow band gap binary semiconductor material. Barrier layers 24 are of a binary semiconductor material that is lattice-matched to the active layer material 22. While not the most preferred embodiment, barrier layers 24 can also be a ternary semiconductor material which is lattice-matched to the binary active material 22.
In superlattice 20, each active layer 22 is a quantum-well having a thickness in the range of about 20 to 500 Angstroms, with the preferred thickness range being 20 to 200 Angstroms. Each barrier region 24 should have a thickness of at least about 10 Angstroms and preferably be in the range of between about 10 and 200 Angstroms. The number of active layers 22 is essentially subject to choice, but generally is in the range of 4 to 100 layers with the number of barrier regions 24 being one more in number.
An embodiment of the structure of FIG. 1 is as follows:
layer 12: 1 μm GaAs: Se (n˜1×1018 cm-3)
layer 16: 0.5-2.0 μm Al0.4 Ga0.6 As: Se (n˜5×1017 cm-3)
layers 24: (thickness=LB) AlAs (doped or undoped)
layers 22: (thickness=Lz) GaAs (doped or undoped)
layer 18: 0.5-2.0 μm Al0.4 Ga0.6 As: Zn (p˜2×1017 cm-3)
layer 14: 1 μm GaAs: Zn (p˜2×1018 cm-3)
It has been found that the diffusion of Zinc atoms into superlattice 20 can cause the superlattice to become compositionally disordered Alx Ga1-x As, with its energy gap (in one specific case) changed from Eg =1.61 eV (for the gallium arsenide active layer 22) to Eg =2.08 eV. (From dull red to yellow). While certain of the prior art (i.e., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,166,278 to Susake, et al., and 4,183,038 to Namizaki, et al.) shows that a Zinc diffusion into a AlGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs structure can create a buried pn light emitting junction, there is no teaching, of which inventors are aware, that such a diffusion will create a compositionally disordered crystal.
In order to accomplish the Zinc diffusion only in desired areas, a silicon nitride mask 28 is laid down on the surface of layer 12 using well-known photolithographic processes. The exposed portions of contact region 12 are etched away, exposing the upper surface of confining layer 16. The semiconductor structure along with ZnAs2 is then placed in a quartz ampoule and the combination is placed in a diffusion oven. Zinc is introduced by diffusion in the crystal in the temperature range of 500°-600° C., a temperature well below the normal cross diffusion temperature of the superlattice components (i.e., >750° C.). The diffusion time is, of course, dependent upon the device structure, but it has been found that diffusion times ranging from 10 to 60 minutes are appropriate.
The Zinc atoms diffuse into the exposed regions and cause active regions 22 and barrier regions 24 in superlattice 20 to become compositionally disordered Alx Ga1-x As. In other words, the various thin superlattice layers become intermixed in such a manner as to lose their individual identities. If barrier regions 24 are AlAs and active regions 22 are GaAs, x˜LB /(LB +Lz). If the barrier regions 24 are Aly Ga1-y As, then x˜yLB /(LB +Lz). In this instance, y represents the fraction of barrier layer 24 that can be considered as AlAs.
Ordinarily, aluminum/gallium interdiffusion in the temperature range 500°-600° C. is negligible. It has been found, however, that when Zinc is diffused, even at such a low temperature, into AlAs/GaAs superlattices, the Zinc enhances the aluminum/gallium interdiffusion. Thus, at a low temperature, and in any pattern desired, the GaAs/AlAs or GaAs/Alx Ga1-x As superlattice can be fully disordered and, depending upon the GaAs layer's thickness Lz and the Lz /LB ratio, can be increased in energy gap or even shifted, from direct gap to indirect gap.
Turning now to FIG. 3, silicon nitride layer 28 has been removed and replaced by metallization layer 36. A similar layer of metallization has been applied to the underside of substrate 10 (substrate 10 being conductive in this instance) enabling a light emitting structure to be completed. A plan view of the structure is shown in FIG. 4.
When a potential is applied via contact 36 to the heterojunction laser (or if there are no contacts, the device is optically pumped), a red light is emitted by the GaAs active layers 22 along the long dimension as shown by arrows 33. Since the Zinc diffused Alx Ga1-x As regions 30 and 32 are of a higher energy gap (orange or yellow) than GaAs regions 22, the red light is able to pass therethrough without hindrance. Wafer edges 35 act as Fabry-Perot reflectors, creating a cavity of nonabsorbing Alx Ga1-x As for the laser. Obviously, the structure of the cavity for the heterojunction laser can be designed as desired for optimum performance characteristics. For instance, a larger cavity will provide longer photon transit times, less cavity end loss, a higher Q and a resultant lower threshold laser.
A plurality of light emitting devices such as those above described have been grown on a single substrate and then subsequently isolated by selective Zinc diffusions to create individual devices in a monolithic environment. Of course, the Zinc diffusion creates a p region which is substantially semiconductive in its own right. By subsequently bombarding the exposed p regions with a suitable source of protons, those regions can be sufficiently damaged while still remaining single crystalline so as to create high resistivity isolating barriers between the active devices. Such bombardment does not effect the red light transmissivity of the bombarded regions.
Superlattices having active regions 22 (i.e., GaAs) as thick as 500 Angstroms (Lz) can be compositionally disordered by a Zinc diffusion. Preferably, however, the thickness of active region 22 should be approximately 200 Angstroms or less for optimum results.
Referring now to FIG. 5, there is shown a sectional view of a Schottky barrier field effect transistor constructed employing the heterostructure configuration of FIG. 1 and isolated from other portions of the circuitry by the Zinc diffusion process described above. In this instance, regions 12 and 16 have been etched away to open a channel which exposes superlattice layer 20. Metallization contact 50 has been deposited and is used as the gate electrode. N type metallizations 52 and 54 are alloyed into layers 12 and 16 and contact superlattice layer 20. These provide the source and drain contacts for the device. The device of FIG. 5 is illustrated to show the versatility of the Zinc diffusion system in that a plurality of devices can be integrated into a single monolithic chip and then isolated by the higher gap Zinc diffusion areas--which are later converted to high resistivity by proton bombardment. Obviously, additional active devices can be constructed in the Zinc diffused areas, if such are desired.
The method of constructing the Schottky barrier device shown in FIG. 5 is conventional in that layer 20 can be high mobility modulation doped, i.e., a donor grown into the barriers but none in the adjacent regions (i.e., GaAs). Layers 12 and 16 are selectively etched away after the upper surface of the device is suitably masked. The last step involves the alloying of junction contact 52 and 54, again after suitable masking.
Referring now to FIG. 6, there is shown a plan view of an integrated structure constructed in accordance with the invention. In this instance, however, contact layer 12 and confining layer 16 over the superlattice layer have been removed to show an integrated laser/waveguide structure. Laser active regions 60 and 62 are constructed identically to that shown in FIGS. 2-3, except that each terminates in a pair of superlattice waveguides 64 and 66. A metal contact 68 (similar to that shown in FIG. 5) overlays waveguide 66 and is reverse (or even forward) biased to provide a Schottky barrier junction between itself and underlying superlattice 66. The individual devices have been isolated by a Zinc diffusion as described above.
Laser 60 is biased in such a mode as to generate light: however, laser 62 is biased sufficiently below threshold that it can be optically pumped by in-phase radiation travelling along superlattice waveguides 64 and 66. Due to fact that the lower gap material (red) exhibits a higher index of refraction than the yellow material, the emitted red light tends to stay within the lower gap material making up waveguides 64 and 66 (so long as there are no abrupt changes of direction of the waveguide materials). By properly energizing contact 68, a retarding electro-optic effect can be achieved which will alter the phase of the signal on waveguide 66 so as to create an out-of-phase signal at the juncture feeding laser 62. Under these conditions, laser 62 is inhibited from lasing. If contact 68 is not energized, in phase optical pumping enables laser 62 to lase, thereby providing an electro-optic logic device.
In summary, it has been found that superlattice layers can be disordered and shifted up in energy gap, while remaining single crystal, by the expedient of Zinc diffusion. This enables the production of integrated electro-optical and semiconductor devices through a Zinc diffusion/isolation process.
While the invention has been shown in regard to a number of specific embodiments, it should be understood that a number of alterations may be contemplated, among which are: the doping in every instance can be inverted (from p to n and n to p); and/or all superlattice regions can be either doped or undoped and/or the substrate can be semi-insulating, etc.

University announces two new leadership positions to support key strategic initiatives
Lehigh University will broaden its senior leadership team to focus on strategic initiatives critical to expanding its intellectual footprint and establishing itself as a premier residential research university.
The decision resulted from a comprehensive and collaborative strategic thinking, planning, and implementation process that began in 2007 and continues through the fall. This past spring, the Lehigh community participated in working groups and online forums to provide their best thinking and perspectives on long-term goals and challenges for Lehigh over the next decade.
Three critical areas of focus were identified: enhancing distinctive student life and learning experience; increasing research and graduate programs to respond to vital challenges; and investing in faculty and staff to be at the forefront of distinguished universities. The establishment of two new leadership positions, vice president for international affairs and vice president and associate provost for research and graduate studies, will ensure strong leadership and provide the necessary direction needed to reach these important goals.
Provost Mohamed El-Aasser will become Lehigh's first vice president for international affairs and a national search for a new provost will begin immediately. The hard work of the committee that prepared the report
Getting to Global Lehigh
and the strong endorsement of the Lehigh University Board of Trustees subcommittee for global affairs catalyzed the process of moving this appointment forward. El-Aasser will continue in his role as provost and the university plans to complete a search for his replacement by January 2009.
"I am pleased that Mohamed has agreed to assume leadership of our international initiatives. His expertise and interest in international affairs, his exemplary work on Global Lehigh and international initiatives, and his deep understanding of the Lehigh community make him ideally suited to lead this important area," said President Alice P. Gast. "I would like to thank Mohamed for his service as Provost and I am grateful that his wisdom and counsel will continue to be available to me and to the community as he takes on this new role."
"Well positioned to expand our international presence"
El-Aasser has served Lehigh as a full professor of chemical engineering and the director of emulsion polymers institute. In addition, he has served as the department chair of chemical engineering, dean of the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science, and for the past four years in his current role as provost and vice president for academic affairs. "The university is well positioned to expand our international presence and opportunities, and I am passionate about making international experiences and Global Lehigh a signature of a Lehigh education," said El-Aasser. "I am excited to lead our efforts to ensure that internationalization transcends the university's intellectual, cultural, and social life."
In his new role, El-Aasser will report to the president and will collaborate with university leadership, faculty, and staff to expand Lehigh's portfolio of international networks, programs, and activities. He will provide leadership in establishing partnerships with universities and corporations abroad for developing international internships and other new learning experiences for our students and international scholar exchange programs for our faculty. In addition, El-Aasser will focus on enhancing Lehigh's current international programs such as study abroad, faculty-led international programs, Global Union, English as a Second Language, United Nations and Global Citizenship programs, and the Iacocca Institute, including the Global Village and the Governor's School for Global Entrepreneurship, in order to meet the growing needs of Global Lehigh.
Advancing Lehigh's ambitious research goals and graduate programs
Bruce Koel, interim vice provost for research, will assume the vice president and associate provost for research and graduate studies position on an interim basis on September 1, 2008. Plans for filling this position will be shared with the community in the near-term.
"Bruce has done an outstanding job in his role as vice provost for research and I am confident our momentum will continue under his leadership," said Gast.
The vice president and associate provost for research and graduate studies will provide leadership and support for research and graduate studies across the university. The person will support faculty and staff research needs in a number of ways, including mobilizing interdisciplinary teams to compete for large federal, state, foundation and industrial funding and distributing ignition funds for innovative research ideas that require development before competing for outside funding. The vice president will also provide support and direction for Lehigh's graduate programs, graduate fellowships, graduate recruiting, and funding for graduate students. This position will report to the president on matters of research and graduate and postdoctoral student policies.
The vice president and associate provost will report to the provost on matters of budget for infrastructure and support of research and graduate studies. In addition, the vice president will work with the president, provost, deans and department chairs to ensure that research and scholarly work are effectively pursued and appropriately valued in faculty and staff reviews.
"The research conducted at Lehigh addresses some of society's most pressing problems, and is an essential element in the intellectual vitality of our university," said Gast. "This new position will allow us to even further integrate our outstanding research and teaching, which is a distinguishing characteristic of Lehigh University. The vice president and associate provost will lead a team to advance our ambitious research goals and graduate programs. This is the right time for Lehigh to be taking the initiative to move ahead in these important areas."

COLUMBIA — Gov. Nikki Haley canceled scheduled events Monday to spend time with her husband during a break from his deployment to Afghanistan.
Capt. Michael Haley is in the state with his family for up to two weeks of leave planned and approved by the South Carolina National Guard, Haley spokesman Rob Godfrey told The Associated Press.
The Republican governor canceled two public events Monday morning in Charleston, after her husband came home a few days earlier than expected, Godfrey said. He declined to give further details.
Those events will be rescheduled. Beyond a news conference today, Haley has no other scheduled events this week.
Guard spokeswoman Maj. Cindi King said Haley is on personal leave that soldiers are allowed, as approved by their commanders. Generally, soldiers get up to two weeks of "R and R" leave yearly, she said.
The governor and their two children bid Capt. Haley farewell at Fort Jackson in January. He was among 48 soldiers heading for a month of training before a yearlong mission to Afghanistan.
His unit is the third S.C. Army National Guard group to spend a year working with Afghan farmers to improve practices geared at turning them away from growing poppies, which supports an opiate drug trade and subsidizes the Taliban.
It is Haley's first deployment overseas. He joined the guard as an officer in 2006. He has served as a medical service corps officer and a planning officer in the Guard's Columbia headquarters. Maj. Gen. Robert E. Livingston, Jr., state adjutant general and head of the 11,000-member Guard, has said Haley receives no special treatment because his wife happens to be governor.
The agricultural mission by the National Guard in Afghanistan began in 2008. Units from nine states have worked in the country over the years.
The Afghan farmers have few mechanical aids, but many of their crops are similar to those grown in the southeastern U.S. Many of the crops include cotton, peanuts, corn, wheat, barley, and vegetables including cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage, okra and melons.

The following incidents were obtained from Goose Creek Police Department reports:
A St. James Avenue chapel employee reported that someone left big pieces of litter on a tract of property the chapel owns off Old Moncks Corner Road near Shannon Park. The complainant said the remnants of a bathroom were dropped in a wooded area just off the road. The debris includes a toilet, old drywall, bathroom tile and other materials.
The trash dump appeared to have been made sometime between Dec. 20 and Jan. 13. There is a 30-foot chain that guards the roadway to the wooded area that can be removed. If a vehicle was in the wooded area it would not be visible during the day or night.
A $1,000 nail gun was reported stolen from a St. James Avenue location on Jan. 15. The Hilti GC-120 was last seen inside the building where the victim had it. His work crew left for lunch and when they returned the nail gun was missing from the tool box. Several doors leading to the rear of the building were open at the time. DNA swabs were collected and placed into evidence.
An employee at a Bayboro Circle business reported on Jan. 14 that two metal pieces that go to a circuit breaker box were missing. The breaker box is for an air conditioning unit. The property manager said the theft occurred sometime between Jan. 11 and Jan. 14. The metal is valued at about $1,600. The wires to the air conditioning unit were cut off. An anonymous witness said there are suspicious subjects who walk around the area between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. on most weekends.

Star rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Pros: Rugged, durable shoe which offers extra cushioning and support for trail runs or road runs. Ideal for runners who train on rough or hard surfaces or who need extra cushioning for their legs.
Cons: Slightly bulky
Runner: Marnie Kunz
When my Nike Free Run shoes failed to make the grade on long runs, I wound up with sore ankles and knees. So I set out to find more supportive shoes. I hit up Sports Authority because they have a large selection of shoes and also offer a $10 discount if you follow them on Foursquare (and follow me).
When you go to the mall or large sports stores, you usually don't get the expertise of the running-centered staff at running stores, so you need to know what you're looking for. I've been shopping for running shoes for about 15 years, so I have a pretty good idea by now what shoes work for my feet. I have normal arches and no history of injury except for occasionally sore ankles or knees from long runs. I was looking for shoes that were marked high in stability and cushioning features, and narrowed down my choices to a few. A helpful sales associate recommended the Saucony Women's Grid Excursion TR 5 for being comfortable and supportive for trail running or long road runs.
These Saucony shoes were a nice surprise, at about half the price of most Nikes, and distinct looking. I've always wanted black running shoes because I tend to get shoes dirty quickly, and black looks sleek. I liked the pink contrast on the black as well.
I've been happy with how the shoes have held up on long road runs, trail runs, and through ice, snow and mud. The extra cushioning in the bottom offers support to lessen the impact of pavement-pounding long runs. I wore these shoes for the St. Louis Frostbite Series of races this past winter, and they held up well on 10-plus mile races over icy paths and salty pavement. The black mesh helps keep dirt and mud from sinking into the shoes, so they have stayed fresh looking. The only obvious signs of aging on the shoes after six months is the ends of the shoe laces have become frayed, but this is easily taken care of with a new pair of laces.
Overall I am very happy with the Saucony Women's Grid Excursion TR 5, and I would recommend them to runners in search of a supportive shoe that works well for trail runs and long runs. The shoes have performed well for everyday training runs as well, although they are a bit bulky. If you are a serious racer, you may want to don lighter shoes for race days.

10-Year Reunion
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend Alumni Weekend 2012!
Support the Class of 2002 and Future Students
There are many ways to support the law school. One way to make a difference is to give to The Class of 2002 Fellowship in Conflict Resolution. This Fund is a resource for those interested in pursuing academic research or hands-on fieldwork in conflict resolution. It was created to honor the memory of the victims of September 11th and the life's work of Negotiations Professor Steve Neustadter, who passed away during our 3L year.
Another way to support both your reunion and the law school is giving to The Law Fund. Contributions to the Law Fund provide the unrestricted, expendable funds that sustain and replenish the School year after year.
Let us give back to those students' who need the resources to pursue their dreams at Stanford as we once did.

- " the hostel should emphases that there is no air conditioner in the room "
- 24 Jul 2015 Anonymous Taiwan
- " Had to stay overnight in Boston, because of flight schedule. Hotels were sold out or over $300 a nite, so we tried 40 Berkeley. This was our first hostel experience and other than no air and just a ceiling fan in hot weather, it went well. The room was clean, comfortable bed and soft sheets, and bathroom convenient and clean. Good location for what we wanted to do, and easy access to the subway. The front desk man, and I didn't get his name, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. "
- 24 Jun 2015 Linda USA
- " The communal area and reception area were fine but there was no effort made to make the rooms welcoming at all. They were monk like in their austerity. From our room the bathroom/shower was some way away and serviced too many rooms for only 1 shower and 1 toilet. "
- 06 Jun 2015 Anonymous Australia
- " We had a private twin room for three nights, and while the hostel common areas were nice and spacious, the room and corridors smelled like an old hospital and the towels were not very nice. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay as far as budget accomodations go. I wouldn't recommend it for a cosy getaway or anything like that, but as a backpacker or something it's alright. Everyone should just remember to bring shower shoes and their own towels. "
- 20 Mar 2015 Malin Sweden
- " The hostel was clean, good located, and the Atmosphere is very good. However it doesn't offer breakfast, and the value is a little expensive. All the same, I recommend it. "
- 18 Mar 2015 Natalia Brazil
- " Please offer breakfast again, there are other hostels better located and same price which offer this common service "
- 17 Mar 2015 emmanuel Argentina
- " The rooms are small, but good for the money. The bathrooms are really the only complaint that my group had. For an entire floor it seems like the bathrooms have 2 showers, 1 urinal in the mens room, and 2 stalls. A floor has approximately 20 rooms (conservative estimate) and they can have anywhere from 1-4 people, so waiting for showers in the morning is a potential issue... Luckily the floor was fairly empty so it wasn't a huge problem. "
- 05 Mar 2015 Anonymous USA
- " The room was far too hot. Even with the ceiling fan on,I was going to bed naked,lying on top of the sheets. Took me ages to get to sleep because of this. Tried to turn the radiator down but it didn't. Didn't think I'd be Sweating in bed with 6 feet of snow outside! "
- 16 Feb 2015 Thomas
- " Good location, great price with above average facilities. "
- 16 Feb 2015 Leah Canada
- " This hostel had exactly what we needed. The location was excellent and the staff were helpful. It was clean,and the price was okay. We would definitely stay there again. "
- 13 Jan 2015 Libby USA

In becoming a Christian, we don't need to retreat from the vocational calling we already have—nor do we need to justify that calling, whatever it is, in terms of its "spiritual" value or evangelistic usefulness. We simply exercise whatever our calling is with new God-glorifying motives, goals, and standards—and with a renewed commitment to performing our calling with greater excellence and higher objectives.
One way we reflect our Creator is by being creative right where we are with the talents and gifts he has given us. As Paul says, "Each one should remain in the condition in which he was called. So, brothers, in whatever condition each was called, there let him remain with God" (1 Corinthians 7:20,24). As we do this, we fulfill our God-given mandate to reform, to beautify, our various "stations" for God's glory–giving this world an imperfect preview of the beautification that will be a perfect, universal actuality when Jesus returns to finish what he started.
For church leaders, this means that we make a huge mistake when we define a person's "call" in terms of participation inside the church—nursery work, Sunday school teacher, youth worker, music leader, and so on. We need to help our people see that their calling is much bigger than how much time they put into church matters. By reducing the notion of calling to the exercise of spiritual gifts inside the church, we fail to help our people see that calling involves everything we are and everything we do—both inside and, more importantly, outside the church.
I once heard Os Guinness address a question about why the church in the late 20th century was not having a larger impact in our world when there were more people going to church than ever before. He said the main reason was not that Christians weren't where they should be. There are plenty of artists, lawyers, doctors, and business owners that are Christians. Rather, the main reason is that Christians aren't who they should be right where they are.

Hey everyone, so in the spirit of equality and supporting homosexual marriage I recently shared this picture on facebook:
Sorry I don't know how to re-size this.
Anyway, my brother had this to say:
"This really is a strawman falacy becuase (most of) those who are against homosexual marriage are also against infidelity, pornography, "no-fault" divorce (or irreconcilable differences), and excessive spending. So really, (most of) the people who are against homosexual marriage would also be against the actions listed above.
Also, (most of, or maybe just many of) the people against homosexual marriage realize that it is not homosexual marriage that destroys the institution of marriage, but it is immoral (sinful) lives that destroy marriage. To many of these people, marriage is not a government or civil institution, it is a physical representation of a spiritual truth. Marriage is the symbol of God's love and desired relationship with humans. Since God ordained marriage, many people expect marriage to be congruent to what God deems correct.
There are other politcal, sociological, scientific, and philosophical reasons to disfavor homosexual marriage, but ultimately they take a back seat to the spiritual reason." (Oh and then his wife "liked" the comment he left)
As you can guess I really want respond to this but I have no idea what to say without sounding like an asshole (don't know why I bother considering) and I don't want to just delete the comment or ignore it because I feel like that would be somehow admitting defeat or something. So what do you think?

In the US, at its core, marriage is civil - a construct of secular government. Some people include religious ornamentation in their marriage ceremonies, but the thing that makes them married is the civil paperwork they have to fill out. You and I could call ourselves married, and have all sorts of religious authorities involved, and it would mean nothing unless we filled out the paperwork. Popes, witch-doctors, shamans, all might call us married, but we're not filling out that "married, filing jointly" tax return without notifying the state that we're married.
Just because your brother is against porn, infidelity, no-fault divorce, etc. doesn't mean he's any more pro-marriage than a gay person who wants to get married. He's just pro-my-type-of-marriage. "You can't join the club because you're gay", is really his argument. He's playing the part of an elitist who can say, "Well, I'm special, because I'm a married man and you... you can't even get married, Hah!" It's a very thin thing to hang your worth on, but he's going to clutch onto it as long as he can.
I don't know where he gets the "excessive spending" thing. That's the cornerstone of capitalism. Why does he hate America?
By the way, you and I COULD get married...I'm free this weekend...I can cook and .. well, just putting it out there...I look kind of like Andrew McCarthy but without the charisma or charm...
WHAT?!?!!? You're already married? Wow, and we were gonna get married this weekend! My mom is gonna be so bummed...
I suppose stalking is out of the question.

hes still around?
I'm glad that this guy is growing up and not so whiney anymore. He's a good songwriter and his past few Bright Eyes albums have been getting better and better.
Has he really toned down the whining? If so, that's great! That was the main reason why I was always so turned off by Bright Eyes' music.
This guys music makes me depressed just thinking about it, but I think that's probably what he's going for, so mission accomplished.
and what a noble feat, making music for people to become depressed by.
i really can't stand this guy at all. he does have some talent but every time i try to listen to him it's just painful. i wonder if this project will be any different?
I wish my lawn were more emo so it would cut itself.
wow all intelligent and contributive comments...
I'm personally gripped for this.
idiotic comments aside, oberst and bright eyes make some of the best protest music around today - and it's certainly not emo. he has a unique singing style and his writing is better than most award-winning poets'.
-was going to say his singing style is definitely an acquired taste, also.
emo=emotional. bright eyes seems pretty damn emotional to me...now what did i do with my razor?
actually emo = emo. like my chemical romance and saves the day.
apologies that you don't enjoy music with emotion. personally i though that's what it was all about.
Yeah I'm pretty sure that emo music term, is short for emotional. To me emo is more like Braid, Hot Water Music, Cursive, Alkaline Trio, some even consider Fugazi pioneers of emo, since their music is so emotional. Then all those terrible bands like My Chemical Romance, Saves the Day, Dashboard Confessional, came are around and clouded everyone's view. I do see where you are coming from Moejoe. A lot of people call those bands emo, and all good music has emotion to it.
So all good music is emo music?
This guy blows. Whine--my dad never loved me. Whine--my high school girlfriend left me. Shut the fuck up already.
emo=emotional. im pretty sure alot of rock/jam bands sing about emotion.... all of them. so if you are saying emo is only the act of expressing emotion. then every band is emo. I love Conor and Bright Eyes. Agreed it is an aquired sound and quite singer songwriter. Ive never had any band motivate me so much to change things in my life. especially politics. Being part of the scene most of us have a common intrest in drugs. Not all drug expierience is happy/trippy/fun, thats just while your high. the come down and back up is what Conor expresses. He whines cause he isnt scared to tell people why he has aquired drug abuse.
Bonnaroo to Rothbury to ACL Thu 4/24/2008 08:55AM
This guy blows. Whine--my dad never loved me. Whine--my high school girlfriend left me. Shut the fuck up already.
- at least he's man enough to admit his issues.
I myself cant wait for this album. Seen Bright Eyes several times now and have never been let down. And yes theres emotion to the music,thats what makes music special,real and true. But hey, if some of you would rather listen to music without emotion...then enjoy...i mean dont..that would be showing an emotion. With exception of alot of people, mainly guys, there are more people out there who are afraid to show real emotion...I mean really, what would your friends think. Oberst is one of the best, if not the best, singer songwriters of this time. Right up there with Dylan,Cohen,Lennon,Hunter,Morrison(both of em).... Much more so than most of these shitty jambands that all do the same drawn out thing over and over and over and over...but thats just my opinion...what do I know other than what I like myself....

It's voters like you, orygunwoes, that cause the problem to continue.
Actually solving the problem would require making hard choices, sure to be unpopular. So instead, you get politicians who say "I know! Instead of making a hard choice that might be unpopular, I'll do something that's popular but flatly unconstitutional. The courts will block it, of course, but I'll be able to get re-elected by claiming 'hey, I tried to do something!' even though I accomplished exactly nothing."
When you give politicians like Gov. Brewer "credit" for "doing something" even though they haven't actually done anything, you reward this behavior and prevent anything from actually getting done.
If there was an easy solution to the problem, it would have already happened. The choices basically boil down to "massive upscaling of enforcement", which means more (LOTS more) tax money spent and more (LOTS more) intrusion of the federal government into the personal and financial lives of Americans, or amnesty on a massive scale, or do nothing and hope the problem goes away by itself (or gets dealt with by a later Congress.)
Congress decides how much money to spend on enforcing immigration law, and they've said "we'll allow the government to spend enough to locate, detain, try, and remove around 400,000 illegals per year." The President, meanwhile, charged with actually enforcing the law, gets to decide how best to do it, and he's said "if I can't have enough money to remove them all, then I guess I'll have to pick which ones to go after, and those would be these categories (illegals who commit other crimes like rape, murder and identity theft, recent arrivals, and people who've been deported before)."
So, target your ire appropriately: If you think that we should be deporting more illegals, you're angry at CONGRESS for not appropriating enough money to fund sufficient enforcement. If you think we should be deporting illegals who were brought here as children instead of rapists, murderers, and identity thieves, they you are angry at THE PRESIDENT for targeting the wrong group of illegals with the limited resources available to him.
At present, Congress provides enough funding for immigration enforcement to detect, detain, try, and remove a little over 400,000 illegals per year. Historically, both Republican-dominated Congresses and Democratic-dominated Congresses (as well as split Congresses) have declined to substantially augment spending on immigration enforcement enough to significantly dent the illegal population already present in the country.
This leaves the President (and President Bush faced EXACTLY the same question, as has every President back to Reagan) of WHICH 400,000 illegals to pursue, out of the millions present. President Obama has chosen to target those illegals who are recently arrived, those who've violated other laws, and those who've been previously deported. I don't think anyone has any kind of quibble with these illegals being at the front of the line for removal.
We're now looking at the BACK of the line. Not "people who will never be deported", but "people who won't be deported until after a whole bunch of other people get deported". Why are they at the back of the line? Because the President is guessing that, by the time we've deported all of the higher-priority illegals, the law will have changed to allow most or all of them to stay.
Congress could (but won't) ramp up spending on immigration enforcement, grant immigration enforcement officers broad new powers to investigate individuals and businesses to root out illegals, and provide round-the-clock deportation hearings until all of the illegals, even the ones the President has put at the back of the line, get deported. Republican Congressional representatives won't do this because they are typically opposed to increasing federal spending and to adding to the power and authority of the federal government. Democratic Congressional representatives won't do this for about as many different reasons as there are Democratic Congressional representatives, but one of the most common will be a belief that the current immigration system is now or historically has been unfair in some way.
So, eventually the U.S. will absorb these illegals, as it has absorbed waves of immigration for all of its history. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth will be involved, but all of it will be wasted. And any plan that would actually address the problem will be opposed by those who would solve the problem by wishing it away, repeating slogans like "deport them all!" or "enforce the law!", and ignoring the fact that doing these things takes money, and lots of it.
So, it ONLY their status as illegals that offends you?
If an amnesty were offered, and all those illegals accepted and converted to legal status, you'd have no objections to their remaining present in the U.S.?
You're under the impression that illegals can't board airplanes now?
Population is declining in all the Western democracies, if you exclude immigration, and has been since the 1970's. (That is to say, if there were no immigration, the population would shrink.) This is largely due to the wide availability of safe, effective birth control methods.
Allowing pretty much anyone in who showed up WAS our immigration policy for a very long time (you had to show that you weren't carrying a communicable disease, and that's about it.)
Well, you and I agree that illegals shouldn't vote (shouldn't be here in the first place, but they are).
But I suspect that much of the rest of the disagreement comes about from a difference in perspective. It isn't that the illegals should have a "right" to a license, it's that the DMV shouldn't care whether someone can prove they're a citizen. It should care that people can prove that they are able to safely operate a motor vehicle on our roadways in accordance with traffic laws, and focus on that.
As a matter of law, ONLY the federal government may deport illegals. Arizona is currently fighting before the Supreme Court to be allowed to hold illegals in jails, which it may or may not win, but the state cannot deport. The problem is that Congress provides enough money to locate, detain, try, and deport a little over 400,000 individuals per year, and there are more than 400,000 of them here. So the President directs the enforcement arms which 400,000 to target for deportation. (Note: This isn't something new with Obama, it's been true of every President since Congress under Reagan "solved" the problem by offering an amnesty to the illegals already here in 1986.)
Take another look at an IRS form I-9.
Employers must verify the identity and citizenship of all new hires. One document, a passport, verifies both identity AND citizenship; most Americans don't have one. So you have to prove identity and citizenship separately. A driver's license verifies identity (you are who you say you are) but does NOT verify citizenship; you have to prove citizenship with a different document. Most people choose to verify citizenship with a SS card.
If you work in a big enough business, they'll have an HR department who can explain it all for you. Having a driver's license does NOT prove U.S. citizenship, and does NOT make it easier to get a job, either for legal OR illegal workers.
Well, then, there's your answer. Don't make people prove their citizenship to get a driver's license. Make them prove their citizenship when they want to buy gas.
Kit, which illegal is more likely to be driving around without insurance... the one with a driver's license that they'd like to keep, or the one who can't get a license at all?
OK, piece by piece.
"There is no good reason to give illegal immigrants a driver's license."
Actually, there is. A driver's license is given to people who prove they understand traffic laws and can operate a motor vehicle safely. When you make a bunch of people not eligible for a driver's license, they have no choice but to drive without a license... and some of them wouldn't have passed the test. (Would they have driven anyway if they failed the test? Maybe, maybe not... probably some would, some wouldn't. At a minimum, the ones who failed the test would KNOW they need to improve.)
"Likewise, there is no good reason to give authority to "identification" cards issued to people illegally in this country by the government of the illegal alien."
If such a card is issued to prove identity, and you're trying to establish identity, why wouldn't you accept it?
" What good can come of such practices? For American citizens, none at all. For illegal aliens, the ability to continue illegal behavior while reducing the chances of sanctions."
Not sure at all how you arrived at this conclusion. To work legally, you have to prove both identity AND citizenship. Take a look at an I-9 form. Does it allow people to get a job because they have a driver's license? Not quite sure what benefits a driver's license confers, beyond the ability to drive legally.
"Indeed, the only good reason not to immediately deport illegal aliens and thereby relieving us of the costs of prosecution, housing and medical care. is that once they reach their own countries they will be encouraged to return to the US, thereby relieving that country of the costs to take care of its citizens."
That's an ENTIRELY different matter. The DMV does not have authority to deport anyone. The biggest reason not to immediately deport illegal aliens are A) the cost involved, and B) that pesky due process clause of the Constitution. Now, if we wanted the federal government to borrow another couple of trillion dollars this year, and decided we don't mind if a few (tens of thousands, probably) citizens get rounded up along with the illegals, we could probably get 90-95% out of the country by the end of the year.
Of course, Americans would probably have a hard time accepting having to show their papers every time they cross the street, so the whole thing would probably grind to a halt before the project could be completed.
You ARE aware that CONGRESS creates laws, and not the President, right?
Or are you of the impression that the Congress is going to give young illegals anything at all like a blanket amnesty just because Obama gave a speech?
"again abuse and hostility
what a loser you are"
Irony alert.
Of course, people who PASSED high school civics class instantly recognize this as ridiculous.
Huh? Trying walking into a restricted area of the airport by waving your driver's license at them, and see what happens. (Hint: "Cart Blanche" is not it.)
Mr. LaMountain argues against his own position.
He notes that Portland/Salem is a hub of Mexican heroin distribution AFTER the law he wants to maintain took effect. The law as it is obviously doesn't work. This is because the law is written with the assumption that if the state says "no driver's license for you if you're an illegal", the response will be "Oh! Guess I'd better return to my country of origin!" instead of "Oh! Guess I'll have to drive without a license, then." (or "Oh? Guess I'll have to get a document made that looks a lot like an Oregon Driver's License but wasn't given to me by the state...")
Illegals should be detected and removed. The DMV is not the agency that should be trying to do it.
"The U.S. credit rating has already been downgraded once, and another downgrade is being considered, because we have done nothing to improve our situation since the last downgrade."
Actually, it was downgraded because there were major, powerful figures in government, floating the notion that perhaps a default on the national debt wouldn't be such a bad thing. When the debtor starts making noise about intentionally not repaying the debt, the best guess as to whether or not the debt will be repaid (which is what a credit rating IS) is going to reflect the idea that the debtor may not repay.

LARWILL — Doors chained. Windows nailed shut. A teenage girl gives birth to two children — all before the age of 18.
It sounds like a Hollywood horror movie — but it's not — it's the atrocious story of a child who lived unnoticed in the Whitley County area for five years.
After the perpetrator, Dean Pressler, 40, pleaded guilty in court to child molesting, child seduction and sexual misconduct with a minor this week, many are questioning how such a horrific crime could go unnoticed in a small Indiana town.
But how does one inquire about the unknown?
According to law enforcement case reports, the victim, who was 12 years old when she met Pressler, was made a "prisoner" in her own home.
Pressler was the victim's mother's boyfriend at the time, but after a "short-lived" relationship due to the mother's "serious drug habit," the mom moved out and left Pressler with custody of the child.
"It wasn't legal custody," Whitley County Prosecutor Matt Rentschler said. "They signed a pseudo-legal document that purported to give Mr. Pressler some rights, and that was the end of the mother's involvement."
Leaving the victim in Pressler's custody may have been more of a blessing than a burden to the victim, as case reports state the mother forced her daughter, 11 years old at the time, to perform sexual acts on adult men in exchange for drugs.
Law enforcement is pursuing possible criminal charges against the mother of the victim.
After Pressler took custody of the girl, she nearly became a ghost to the public eye — living in five different homes in five years and attending three middle schools — two in Noble County.

Great job as usual Owen - your best observation was Rick's "chiclets are checking out" - that was priceless. I was hoping for a comment about Jim's constant eye roll whenever JC was talking. Enjoyed your take on poor Edna. Fish and laundry, who would of thought. Can't wait until next week.
I couldn't wait for this weeks written take on Survivor. You outdid yourself this week Owen. In fact I savored this articles every word and made it last for hours as I sneak read it while at work.
The Coach and his followers chanting is so annoying but so entertaining. I love all the body language that is going on. That tribe is the most mindless! I still can't decide what was the worse; Brandon's bikini top (OMG), Bennie's praying (who is it this week), or Sophie's blind hugging (is this all she can get?).
As far as the other tribe goes, they aren't much smarter....................especially our boy, Ozzy. I never would of thought he had rocks for brains. For some reason, I got the impression he's not long on RI.
Can't wait until next week, that's for sure.
Another fine job, Owen. Bennie, good one!! Can't wait for next week.
Great job as usual, Owen. Your take on the show makes Survivor all the more enjoyable. That episode was disgusting, but I couldn't take my eyes off the TV screen.
Good riddance Lyse, to bad you weren't Ozzie. It should be interesting next week to hear what the fisher boy thinks without his little omens admiring eyes.
Also looking forward to more excitment from both Benjamin and Brandon! Can't wait.
Excellent and hillarious observations Owen. Look forward to your articles just as much as watching the actual show! Your take, wording and the little things I always miss keeps me laughing until the last word. Good riddance Christine (what a weirdo), and Brendon, you're a hoot. Some unique personalities this season. Can't wait until next week.
Another fine epic, Owen. You are much better than the show! I look forward to your take each week with anticipation. Can't wait to read your Starving Steveo interview. I hope he gives us more insight. What's with all the religion this season. Enough already!
Great job as usual, Owen. I look so forward to your take on the Survivor tale each week. I was surprised you didn't comment on BRob's female cult admiring his "Superman" curl! I don't know why that one stayed with me. I became of fan of Davey this week because of his shoving match with the Zapareta tribe and hope he redeem's his puzzle making qualities on Redemption Island. This episode was the most entertaining one yet! Till next week.
Another fine article, Owen. I had tears rolling down my face from laughter. I totally agree, the best part of this show is SAS speechmaking skills and Ralph's spelling bee successes. Matt may be cute, but so boring - same with the pagent girls!! Till next week.
Great job as usual, Owen. I sniggered through every paragraph...............
