This invention relates to printed circuit boards, and particularly to high density, high performance printed circuit boards.
Although there has been considerable activity in the art of printed circuit boards, high density printed circuitry is a relatively recent area of investigation. Only recently have materials and processes been developed which can be used to provide the demanding electrical and mechanical properties required by high density configurations. High density packaging configurations are required in order to furnish fast access to large amounts of data in the next generation of computers, such as in supercomputers. The requirement of high density includes the necessity of increased wiring density and thinner dielectric layers for enhanced dimensional control. Conducting layers are electrically connected by vias and through-holes of increasingly narrow diameter. The term vias is normally used to describe conductive pathways within the circuit board which connect adjacent conductive layers. The term through-hole is normally used to describe vias which extend to non-adjacent conductive layers. The term blind via is sometimes used to refer to a through hole which terminates internally. For the sake of brevity, the term through-hole may hereinafter be used to refer to both.
High performance packaging refers to circuit cards and boards with very high wiring densities and via densities, which are typically made of insulating layers comprising a high performance dielectric material, i.e. having a dielectric constant (Er) of about 3.2 or less, at least in the signal line area, in order to reduce signal propagation delays and reduce signal noise and attenuation. A dielectric constant of 3.2 or less also permits reduction in signal-to-power spacings. In the present invention, the term high density typically refers to dimensions of the following approximate values in a printed circuit card or board:
______________________________________Line Width 50 Microns (Approx. 2. mils)Line Thickness 12.5 Microns (Approx. 0.5 mils)Via Diameter 63 Microns +/-25 Microns (2.5 +/-1.0 mil)Land Diameter 120 Microns (4.7 mils)Clearance Hole 170 Microns (6.7 mils)Core Thickness 127 Microns (5.0 mils)______________________________________
Packaging chips in a surface mount mode, called also direct chip attach (DCA), can require wiring densities exceeding several thousand inches per square inch and via densities which can exceed 10,000 vias per square inch for very high I/O chips in close proximity.
A high density circuit board having the abovementioned dimensions would be capable of providing wiring capability of approximately 100 inches per share inch per wiring plane and via densities of about 5,000 to about 10,000 vias per square inch. The total wiring requirement would be satisfied by adding a sufficient number of wiring planes to accommodate the number of chips. The small diameter via typically required precludes building such a high density board through traditional multilayer lamination and drill processes. In order to produce wiring and via densities of this magnitude, stacked via method are used. A stacked via board is a board which is made up of individual 2S1P (two signal planes plus one power plane) units joined at the vias to provide communication between 2S1P units. A structure, and a process for encapsulating 2S1P units and joining them to each other is a primary concern of this invention.
Suitable materials which can be used to provide an Er of 3.2 or below include fluorocarbons such as, for example, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polychlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE), and polyperfluoropropylene, optionally filled with a filler, such as certain kinds of quartz or silicon particles, and optionally reinforced with fabric such as woven fluorocarbon fabric. The adhesion between fluorocarbons and metals is problematic, as well as are techniques for providing through holes of about 1.5 mils (0.038/mm) to about 3.5 mils (0.0889 mm) in diameter, which must be aligned between layers. Conductor lines are in the range of about 50 microns in width.
In circuit boards which do not have the stringent dimensional requirements of high density circuit boards, alignment of through holes from layer to layer is made indirectly, by aligning mechanical location slots which are peripheral to the function of the device and are placed over locating pins in order to align multiple layers. However, in high density circuit boards, the denser circuitry, finer conductor line and track width, thinner dielectric layers, greater number of layers and denser placement of smaller diameter holes and vias require an absolute, dead-on alignment from layer to layer that is not attainable through means that were satisfactory in the past. In the high density circuitry of the future, through-hole tolerance is such that a small misalignment can mean that there is no electrical interconnection at all, or a high resistance interconnection, between the layers where low resistance contact is required. The alignment of wire cores to each other is thus seen to be a very demanding registration operation requiring optical registration at the key registration step, viz. drilling, exposing circuitry, laminating layers together. This alignment is currently verified by means of attachment coupled with x-ray examination. Alignment problems are discussed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,788,766 issued Dec. 6, 1988 to Burger et al, which describes 2.00 ppm cap shrinkage during processing. Cap shrinkage can significantly affect alignment and becomes especially important at the time when the chip is mounted.
In addition, process flows in the cap manufacturing process typically can include a large number of steps, as many as eight or more, in order to join just two cores, whereas the present invention involves a significant reduction in process steps.
The present invention reduces the need for x-ray verification of alignment since alignment can be verified electrically on a subcomposite level.
Even in the past, problems in layer alignment where vias are about 15 mils or less in diameter were noted. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,566,186 issued Jan. 28, 1986 to Bauer et al, a method is described which includes applying a layer of photoimageable dielectric over a silk screened conductive polymer thick film, which is comprised of a metal dispersed in a polymer. Vias are exposed in the photoimageable dielectric, permitting vias to be as small as about 1 to about 5 mils in diameter. A solder masking step is also included. The techniques and materials described in the '186 patent, however, such as silk screening, would be inapplicable to the dimensions of the high density printed circuit board of the present invention. Also, the present invention does not employ a thick conductive polymer.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,934,335 issued Jan. 27, 1976 to Nelson describes a number of sources of alignment problems and known attempted solutions. The '335 patent describes the use of a photosensitive dielectric material in a process that seeks to avoid alignment problems and eliminates drilling from layer to layer by applying successive layers of photoactive dielectric, upon which circuit conductors are applied, and exposing and developing via openings and circuitry patterns therein. In the present invention, dielectric material, which may be photosensitive, is applied over existing wire core circuitry in order to encapsulate the circuitry on the 2S1P structure. It is not used as a base upon which circuit conductors are applied, nor as a dielectric layer between signal and power layers. It is, however, a dielectric layer between adjacent signal layers, i.e. between S2 and S3, between S4 and S5, etc.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,648,179 describes simultaneous bonding at pads of vias filled with bonding metallurgy and lamination of polyimide dielectric of a core to like structures of a second core as a way of avoiding registration problems. The present invention does not require the pad to pad alignment, but is self aligning by way of the bonding metallurgy itself.
Nowhere in the art is the method or structure of the present invention described, wherein a dielectric material encapsulates each high density wire core, and wherein encapsulated high density cores are aligned, using the joining metal for alignment, to test on the subcomposite level and build up a high density printed circuit card or board. Furthermore, while the dielectric of the present invention may be photoactive, it need not be.
Accordingly it is an object of the invention to provide a high density circuit board while avoiding the problems which remain unsolved or incompletely solved by the prior art.
More particularly, it is an object of the invention to produce a high density circuit board device having vias metallized with joining metal for interlayer alignment and electrical communication.
It is a further object of the invention to produce vias and lands in a high density circuit board without smearing or shorting between conductors.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a printed circuit board which is testable at the core level and at the subcomposite and composite levels.
A method of the present invention involves making an encapsulated circuitized power core for a multilayer printed circuit board comprising providing a first circuitized power core (CPC) encapsulated with dielectric material having vias and lands opened in preselected areas; coating the encapsulated circuitized power core with a first layer of dielectric material; opening up discrete areas in the first layer of dielectric material corresponding to the preselected vias and lands in the circuitized power core; depositing an electrically continuous metal layer in the vias, on the lands and over the layer of dielectric material; coating the electrically continuous metal layer with a second layer of dielectric material; opening up discrete areas in the second layer of dielectric material corresponding to the preselected vias and lands in the circuitized power core; metallizing the opened up vias, at least the surface to be joined of which comprises joining metal; removing the second layer of dielectric material; and removing the electrically continuous metal layer.
The resulting structure is also the invention.
According to the present invention there is provided a method for making a circuitized power core.
The starting point is a circuitized power core, (CPC), which comprises a dielectric coated power plane having signal lines and lands at the exterior and having at least one via between the two major external surfaces, as shown in FIG. 2a. The core in the Figure is also called a 2S1P core for its two signal/one power plane. The power plane may be comprised, for example, of Invar or copper, or copper clad Invar, or copper clad molybdenum.
The completed CPC is coated with a dielectric material which may or may not be photosensitive and may be either thermoplastic or thermosetting. In either case, the material is processed to form cavities at each via-land site at which a joining metal connection is desired. In the case of a photosensitive dielectric, the material would be photo processed to form the cavities by means such as ultraviolet, electron beam or x-ray lithography, depending on the nature of the photosensitive dielectric material. In the case of a non-photosensitive dielectric, the cavities would be formed through, for example, laser ablation at the sites where a connection is desired.
After the cavities are formed and cleaned, if required, the structure is subjected to a metallization process which deposits a thin electrically continuous metal layer everywhere on the external surfaces. This continuous layer of metal is necessary if the joining metal to be used is to be applied through an electroplating process (e.g. lead-tin, gold, gold-tin, etc.). The joining metal is selected to be compatible with the laminating conditions to which the structure will be submitted. After metallization, a photoresist material is applied and processed to isolate the cavities which were formed at the desired land-via sites. The joining metal can then be applied only where required. Next, the photoresist material is removed through a stripping operation and the thin metal commoning layer removed through a flash etch process, leaving joining metal at the appropriate sites. Joining metal can alternatively be plated to the height of the photosensitive dielectric material and then joined. At this point, the CPC is ready for testing and for joining to other CPC's to form composites containing multiple signal and power planes.
Depending on the application, dielectric may have to be applied to both the top and bottom of CPC's prior to joining in order to obtain a dielectric to dielectric joining in addition to the electrical joining. In the case of a photosensitive dielectric material, as one option, the top and bottom CPC's would be made in a manner similar to the center CPC except that no metallization step would be performed. The requirement for the application of a dielectric on the top and bottom cores is determined by the joining metal thickness, the dielectric thickness and the desired spacing between conductors. After a preselected number of cores thus prepared are conventionally laminated, joined and finally cured, they can again be tested as a composite unit and optionally provided with surface mounted chips or other components.
The method of carrying out the invention is illustrated in the accompanying figures.
FIG. 1A shows an encapsulated circuitized power core (a/k/a encapsulated wire core) ready for joining to a like core. A dielectric material, optionally photosensitive (1) is disposed atop the CPC, except for the land and via areas which have been opened. The via is filled and the land is coated with joining metal (2) such as Au, AuSn, SnPb, dendritic Cu or paste. The power core itself (3) is surrounded top and bottom with dielectric material (4), on which signal lines (5) are disposed. The structure shown is a building block for a multilayer circuit board. FIG. 1B shows the structure of 1A ready to be joined to a like structure by way of dendritic connectors (6).
FIGS. 2 A, B and C show the initial processing steps for both of two additional embodiments, each of which is further illustrated in the figures following them. 2A shows a 2S1P circuitized power core having open vias (8). 2B shows 2A after dielectric material (1), optionally photosensitive, is applied overall. 2C shows 2B after the via holes (8) and lands (7) have been opened up in the dielectric material.
FIGS. 3 A, B and C continue the processing from FIG. 2C in an embodiment of the invention. 3A shows 2C after flash metallization (9) of an electrically continuous layer which is optionally sputtered copper over chrome. 3B shows 3A after dielectric material (10), such as photoresist, has been applied and the vias (8) and lands (7) have been opened up and filled with joining metal (2) above the level of the surface flash metallization (9). 3C shows 3B after the top layer of photoresist or other dielectric (10) and the layer of flash metallization (9) have been removed from the major surfaces, leaving at the surface a slight protrusion called a stud of joining metal (2) over via (8) and land (7). The structure is called a male CPC. 3D shows 3C after alignment, in the process of being joined to two additional, female, circuitized power cores (11) and (12), one on each major surface. In the figure the joining metal of the male CPC is contacted to that of the female by interdigitated cone or dendrite type protrusions. If the CPCs pass testing, they can be laminated and permanently joined, optionally using also paste 13 or solder balls with wave solder which enters the vias in the female CPC by capillary action, or by transient liquid bonding as described in copending Ser. No. 07/536,145 to Reid et al, filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office on Jun. 11, 1990 and commonly assigned to the present assignee.
FIGS. 4 A and B continue the processing from FIG. 2C in an alternate embodiment of the present invention. 4A shows 3C after joining metallization (2) has filled the vias (8) and covered the lands (7), leaving at the surface a slight protrusion. 4B shows 4A after alignment, in the process of being joined and laminated to two additional circuitized power cores (11) and (12), one on each major surface, the joining metal (2) to fill the vias (8) of the additional cores by capillary action.
The following experiments are reported to indicate materials which have been used in making an encapsulated power core. The invention is not limited to the materials described, however, as long as the dielectric materials and the joining metal used therewith are compatible with respect to their respective curing, lamination and melting temperatures.
Feasibility experiments were performed using both a photosensitive dielectric approach and a non-photosensitive approach. The photosensitive material was OPR (Optimized Permanent Resist, described in U.S. Pat. 4,940,651 issued Jul. 10, 1990 to Brown et al, which is incorporated herein by reference). The non-photosensitive material was a filled polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) obtained from Rogers Corporation.
The process flow for the OPR material was as follows:
1. OPR photosensitive dielectric material was applied to the surfaces of a circuitized power core (CPC) using an E. I. DuPont de Nemours and Co. SMVL-130 vacuum laminator operated at a temperature of about 100 degrees C. and a pressure of 3.3 millibar.
2. The OPR photosensitive dielectric was exposed to an artwork pattern which permitted exposure everywhere except at the land sites at which joining would be accomplished later. Exposure was effected by a Tamarack model 161 tool, at an expose energy of 600 mJ.
3. After exposure the unit was baked at about 110 degrees C. for about 10 minutes, and then OPR developed in gamma-butyrolactone for about 30-60 seconds, water rinsed and dried.
4. Post develop cure advancement of the OPR was effected by first blanket exposing the core to a UV (ultraviolet) source at 4 j total, followed by a 150 degree C. bake for about 30 minutes.
5. In order to improve the adhesion of the metal to be applied in subsequent steps, the OPR was subjected to a mild, i.e. about 35 PSI, vapor blast operation with aluminum oxide slurry.
6. Copper metal was sputtered on the OPR surfaces. Thickness of the copper was about 3000 Angstroms. The sputtering operation was performed in a Leybold-Heraeus Model Z600 sputter system.
7. The sputtered copper was then treated to improve subsequent photoresist adhesion by exposing the cores to the following process:
______________________________________HCl Rinse (8% Solution) 20 sec.Water rinse in DI water 60 sec.Sodium Carbonate Rinse (30 gms/liter) 30 sec.Water Rinse 60 sec.Benzotriazole (4 gm/liter) 90 sec.Water Rinse in DI water 60 sec.Oven dry______________________________________ (All times are approximate and are not critical.)
8. Photoresist was applied [Riston, Type T168 (0.6 mil thickness)) a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) from E. I. DuPont de Nemours and Co.] using a hot roll laminator operated at about 100 degrees C. (Riston is a trademark of E. I. Du Pont de Nemours Co.).
9. Exposure of the Riston photoresist was performed on a U/V expose tool (Tamarack Model 161) at an expose level of 38 mj.
10. Development of the Riston photoresist was done in a standard Riston developer in about 50 seconds followed by a water rinse and dry. The developer was MCF (1,1,1 Trichloroethane (a/k/a Methylchloroform).
11. Gold joining metal was plated into the `well` formed in both the Riston photoresist and photosensitive dielectric at the sites where joining is to be done. In the experimental case, the gold plating thickness was 1.8 mils to approximately match the OPR thickness. The plating bath was a Sel-Rex cyanide gold bath.
12. After the gold plating step, the photoresist was removed by immersing the core in a methylene chloride solvent bath for about 50 seconds, rinsed and dried.
13. Finally, the sputtered copper commoning layer was removed by subjecting the core to a cupric chloride, standard copper etching solution. Any other suitable etchant would be usable, including additionally sodium persulfate solution.
The encapsulated power core structure treated in steps 1-13 above was next joined to a second, similarly built unit aligning the gold plated dots on each core and laminating the cores at a sufficiently high temperature and pressure to effect a thermo-compression bond between the gold layers.
It is anticipated that a similar process could be used to bond wire cores using the HTM material in place of the OPR material described. HTM (High Temperature Mask) is described in co-pending Ser. No. 07/382,311 to Gelorme et al, filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office Jul. 20, 1989 and commonly assigned to the present assignee.
Briefly, photosensitive dielectric material is used to encapsulate the circuitry on a 2S1P structure. The material is then photoimaged to form openings for plating of joining metallurgy to the lands on the 2S1P structure where electrical continuity to an adjacent 2S1P structure is desired. The bonding of adjacent 2S1P structures is achieved by aligning the corresponding lands that are covered with joining metal so that bonding takes place at the metal-metal interface during lamination. The joining metallurgy is selected to be bondable at the temperature at which the dielectric is laminated. Testing can be performed at any subcomposite level as well as at the composite level.
A second method which has been used to build encapsulated circuitized power cores (CPC's) for stack joining is described in the following process sequence in which photosensitive dielectric material is not used:
1. The dielectric material was applied to the surfaces of a CPC by lamination in a press at 300-500 psi and approximately 390 degrees C. Rogers 2810 and 2511 dielectrics were used in this process sequence.
2. After lamination, the copper foil cover sheets were etched to expose the dielectric surface. Standard copper etchants were employed.
3. The cores were then laser drilled to produce the `well` at the sites where core to core joining would be done. Laser drilling parameters depend on the equipment configuration used and `wells` were successfully drilled with both an excimer laser and a CO2 laser.
4. Cleaning of the drilled `wells` may be required, particularly in the CO2 case. Cleaning may be done through either a mechanical process such as vapor blast or through a plasma etch process depending on the size and depth of the `well`.
5. After the `wells` were made, copper metal was sputtered on the dielectric surfaces. Thickness was approximately 3000 Angstroms.
6. Next, the surface was treated to improve resist adhesion by processing through BTA, as described in step 7 above for the OPR process.
7. Riston photoresist was applied, exposed and developed as described above in OPR steps 8 through 10.
8. The core was then additively plated to a thickness of approximately 0.0003". In practice, the core was plated via an electroless plating process but, because of the presence of the sputtered copper commoning layer, electroplating baths could also have been used.
9. After plating, the Riston resist was removed and the commoning layer etched as described in steps 12 and 13 above.
10. Joining metal was deposited into the copper plated `wells` by passing the core over a solder wave. The effect of the solder wave was to deposit solder in the `wells` at the joining sites.
Joining of similar cores was done by bringing two or more cores together such that the Sn-Pb on each core was in contact at the joining sites. The mated cores were then processed through a thermal cycle in a lamination press to reflow the solder. These process sequences are included to show the techniques used to build feasibility samples. Both gold and tin-lead were used to join samples of limited size and limited numbers of join sites. Other metals could also be used, for example gold-tin, tin-bismuth, etc. depending largely on the dielectric selected. In general, epoxy based dielectrics are cured and laminated at relatively low temperatures, which, depending on the particular epoxy, can be about 125 degrees C. to about 175 degrees C. This temperature range would not be suitable for high temperature chip join cycles or high temperature joining of subcomposites. The PTFE based dielectrics, however, are laminated at about 390 degrees C. and are suitable for high temperature applications, including high melting point joining metal.
While there have been shown and described what are at present considered to be preferred embodiments, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Orange launches U24, a new deal designed to cater to the cash-strapped youth market, offering free texts and calls, as well as free internet data
Orange has today announced U24, a new tarrif designed specifically for the youth market.
The deal will see those who're 24 and under recieve extra calls, texts and mobile data on top of their current price plan at no extra cost - specifically, users will get 1GB of free internet, while calls and texts to other Orange and T-Mobile numbers will be free of charge.
The offer is suported by an app - Android, iOS and BlackBerry - that helps users to identify which of their family or friends are on T-Mobile or Orange contracts, so they know who they can call and text for free.
U24 is available to new and exisiting Orange pay monthly and pay as you go customers. However, there is a slight catch for those on PAYG: they must top up at least £15 each month.
Simeon Bird, Director of Propositions, Orange UK, said: "We're pleased to be able to reward our younger customers with such a great offer.
"Whether they're going away to university, or starting out in a new career, with U24 we're hoping to make life a little easier, providing them with an extra mobile data allowance and the potential to call and text over 27 million people as often as they like - all for no extra charge".
Ernest Doku, telecoms expert at uSwitch.com, believes other network providers will offer similar deals in response: "Expect other providers to quickly follow suit and offer similar packages aimed at a younger audience," he said.
Doku believes the offer is attractive but not good enough to keep customers for the long term.
He said: "Unlike the banks, who can often secure a customer for life by offering incentives such as free overdraft facilities, mobile customers are more familiar with switching every couple of years to get a new handset or better deal.
"It may take a lot more than Orange is offering to keep them beyond the contract period."

Documenting Numurkah
Posted By Michael Coyne On August 12, 2007 @ 10:00 pm In Photojournalism | No Comments
I'm not sure why I am attracted to the comical, the whimsical, but I am. For my "Village" project, a documentary of villages around the world, I wanted to photograph a town in the outback of Australia. A country town big enough to be communally self-sufficient, but with a population small enough for everyone to know their fellow townspeople. I mentioned this one day in conversation with an acquaintance of mine in Melbourne, who offered to take me to Numurkah — the town she grew up in, where her mother and grandmother still lived.
The very first time I went to Numurkah, I noticed as we drove into town a man standing on the lawn in front of his house, drinking a can of beer. The garden around him was resplendent with Christmas lights, decorations and cut-out animals. Dressed in T-shirt, shorts and cap, he looked entirely incongruous and, yet, somehow just right in this setting.
We stopped and I asked if I could take his picture. He happily posed among the reindeer [2], and then invited me to return the following year when he assured me he would have an even better display. I decided then and there that this was the town I wanted to document.
The local newspaper, The Numurkah Leader [3], interviewed me. I explained what I wanted to do and gave my contact details. I received many phone calls and e-mails from the people of Numurkah telling me of events that I might be interested in photographing — weddings, births, baptisms, hens' nights. I returned all calls and attended as many events as possible. Even if I didn't get photographs, it was important for them to get to know me and me to know them. At one stage, I was on standby for four births; I missed two and just made it to the other two.
When I was in Numurkah, I stayed at the local pub and had a room above the bar with a view down onto the lane, where amorous couples would meet and young men would brawl after a night of drinking. On a Friday night it was impossible to sleep because of the noise coming from the bar so I would go down and join the townsfolk as they celebrated the end of a working week.
One night I was leaning on the bar chatting to a farmer about some photographs I had taken of his family. At one point in the conversation he looked up and said, "Excuse me," walked round to the other side of the bar and punched a man hard enough to make him fall over. He then came back to continue our conversation.
With medical services closing down, young people leaving to get work in the cities and farmers struggling with the drought, it is difficult for the town to keep surviving. Yet for all of this, over the eight months I was in Numurkah, the townsfolk were friendly and invited me into their homes to document their lives.

By Ben Holcomb
Chris Broussard posted an article five hours ago suggesting that Kobe Bryant is the reason the Lakers are sub-.500 so far this season. The article, a generally cowardly approach to the subject, hypothesizes that Kobe's incessant shooting is the main reason for the Lakers' early failures, and that they'd be better off with him shooting less. He lets an unnamed NBA scout, GM and assistant coach make the argument for him, which is a little silly, but the crux of the piece totally misses the mark regardless of who's taking credit for the idea1. The truth is that the evidence for which Broussard bases his case is a classic example of correlation not equaling causation. I'll never stop being confused as to why I have to be an apologist for one of the top 10 greatest basketball players of all-time, but we live in a world of cynics now, and many people, especially those in Bristol, CT, can't resist taking various shots at KB24.
The ESPN article's main thesis was this, "When Bryant has fewer than 20 attempts in a game, the Lakers are outstanding. When he shoots 20 or more times, they're only slightly above mediocre. It seems pretty clear cut: The Lakers are better, and would be better this season, if Bryant shot less." After reading Broussard's article, 54% of America agreed that Kobe is shooting too much for the Lakers' good. Allow me to help you have a change of heart.
Here's what we know, the facts, if you will: the Lakers are 12-14 this year. Kobe Bryant is leading the NBA in scoring at the age of 34. He's also at, or beyond, his career averages at every major statistic. He's shooting 48% from the field, and has the 4th highest PER2 in the NBA right now at 25.81. Steve Nash has been injured since the first half of the second game of the season, Pau Gasol sat out for about 6 games in the past month, and Dwight Howard is playing despite the fact that some doctors suggested he wouldn't be fully healed until mid-January.
With that in mind, are the Lakers really better off when Kobe shoots less? Is he the source of their problems?
I could stop this article there and just let the lunacy cease, but I think it's important that I at least articulate why Chris Broussard and his "insider sources" are woefully mistaken on this particular subject. The idea of judging Kobe's usage based on his shot attempts in wins and losses is a misnomer for many reasons, chief of which is that the person pushing this logic is willfully deciding to ignore game situations and a whole host of other factors that may work to contaminate that data. After all, logic would suggest Kobe would shoot less shots in a blowout, when he sits the fourth quarter, than in a game where the Lakers are trying to stage a comeback.
Broussard said the Lakers "are just 4-11 when Bryant takes 20 shots or more in a game. Yet, they are 8-3 when he shoots less than 20 times". That is a correlation. It's not the cause. In the 15 games where Kobe shot more than 20 times, he played about 42 minutes. In the 11 games when he shot less than 20 times? Just 35. That's a difference of 7 minutes, which may not seem like a lot, but is almost an entire quarter's worth. Kobe averages 21 shots a game this year. If you factor in a 48 minute regulation time period, that's about one shot per 2.28 minutes of play.
So, just looking at the vast difference of minutes in Broussard's false stat, Kobe misses out on about 3-4 shots in that time. This is all to say that Kobe's lower shot totals in the 11 games ESPN mentions aren't because of some conscious effort to distribute the ball around more, but instead the simple fact that he can't shoot from the bench.
I'll keep going. In those 11 games where Bryant shot under 20 times, his team won by an average of 13 points…and he lost three of those games. Doesn't that tell you all you need to know? We're talking blowouts here. Way to crack the case of the confounding 2012 Lakers, Broussard – Kobe shoots less when they blow teams out… and yes, they tend to win those games.
Kobe's lower shot totals in the 11 games ESPN mentions aren't because of some conscious effort to distribute the ball around more, but instead the simple fact that he can't shoot from the bench.
For the same reasons, when Kobe's teammates show up, he doesn't have to carry as much of the load, and thus his FGA diminish. That means, despite what NBA scouts, GMs, or assistant coaches say, Kobe is not the problem. He's the answer. I'm almost positive he'd admit that in a perfect world, he wouldn't have to shoot 20+ times a game. When Nash gets back into the lineup, and Blake returns, and Dwight's back fully heals, the chances are likely that Kobe's 20+ shot games will greatly diminish in regularity.
Broussard's reasoning is asinine, and does a poor job extrapolating answers to why the numbers look the way they look. I'll leave you with this: the Lakers are 9-3 when Robert Sacre plays this year. Think he should start because of that fact? That's what I thought.
The Wine & Cheese Crowd does not have a pay to read premium articles system. We give you the truth on this site, all for free. So just because you had to shell out your hard earned cash for it, and it has an orange insider tag on the top left of the article, doesn't mean it's the truth. You can't believe everything you read. This is the internet, after all.

What. The. F-Word. USA (yes, the TV network) hosted something called the Character Approved Awards last night in NYC, which honors innovative players who are "shaping our culture." Oddly enough, a strange mix of A Listers (Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gabby Sidibe) and F-Listers (Tiffani Thiessen, Piper Perabo, Tinsley Mortimer, Constantine Maroulis and his butt-shaped chin) showed up to toast them, and everyone – regardless of their star power – looked like sh*t.
Let's start with Piper Perabo's bizarre, neck-contorting pose and swollen lips, which resulted in a horrific, unintentional Brittany Murphy impression (RIP). Then there's Gabby Sidibe's outfit, which would be appropriate for a gal shopping with her friends at the mall, but for an Oscar nominee?! She should be milking her buzz for what it's worth, and what it's worth is thousands of dollars of free designer clothes. And then there's Maggie. Poor, frizzy-haired, ugly hipster dress-wearin' Maggie. We're taking back her Queen of Alt Fashion crown and selling it to our favorite vintage store here in Brooklyn. She does not deserve the honor anymore, what with this disastrous look.
Some of the other D-Listers lurking around looked fine, but what right do they have to even walk the red carpet anymore? No offense, Tiffani (AMBER) Thiessen, but you went out of style the second you ditched Zack Morris for your boss at The Max. Time to head back into obscurity where you belong. [Photo: GettyImages]

LAUREL HILL — Things looked bleak for Laurel Hill School's volleyball team midway through the third set against Pleasant Home, Ala., on Monday.
The Eagles had already won the first two sets and were up 11-6, needing just 14 more points to take the win.
But the Hoboes weren't ready to call it an early night, as they scored the next five points to tie the set. But there was plenty of work to do as Pleasant Home moved back in front 21-18.
With victory within their grasp, the Eagles faltered as the Hoboes went on a 7-1 run to take the set on their way to a come from behind five set win by scores of 16-25, 20-25, 25-22, 25-13 and 15-9.
"As a coach you like to see a team go through those kind of games at some point in the season," Laurel Hill coach Kent Zessin said. "I am proud of the girls that they didn't get their heads down.
"They came out and I thought they weren't real focused. Our passing was off and our serving was off, which threw our whole game off. We turned around and got focused. Our leaders stepped up."
It seemed as if every Laurel Hill player had a role in the comeback.
Bridget Zessin, Lauren Gordon and Kaylee L'Homme took care of business at the net. Morgan Meeks was an assist machine with 14 and Breanna Trunk did her part with six assists.
Once the Hoboes (11-4) finally secured the lead in the third set they refused to let go of it. Laurel Hill jumped to a quick 6-1 lead in the fourth set and never looked back, pulling even in the match.
The Hoboes moved in front 3-0 early in the fifth set only to see the Eagles tie the set at 3-3.
Ashley Hatfield took over in serve for Laurel Hill and scored two of her five aces to help push the Hobo lead to 7-3. The Eagles never got closer than two points the rest of the way as Laurel Hill held on for the win.
Gordon topped the Hoboes with eight kills and six aces. Zessin had seven kills to go along with three blocks. And L'Homme delivered six kills.
"Lauren Gordon and Bridget Zessin did an outstanding job hitting the ball at the net," Kent Zessin said. "Our serves were in during the last three (sets) and we settled down on our passing.
"As long as we are pass, set, hit, we are a pretty good team."

Last Thursday morning, I received a call from a friend and associate, "Lupita, are you sitting down?"
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"Well, I don't know how to say this, but ....".
I learned that a dear friend and former colleague at Robertson High School, Gary Leger, had been in an auto accident near Oklahoma. He was airlifted to the nearest hospital, in Amarillo, but died a bit later.
We're glad Las Vegas Police Chief Gary Gold has decided not to use the electroshock weapon known as Tasers in his department. He said the history of lawsuits and the number of reported injuries that stem from their use led him to conclude that they are just too risky. We think he's doing the right thing by banning their use.
The fire near Gallinas Canyon is more than 70 percent contained, officials said Monday.
The blaze, which started last Friday night, has burned 777 acres. No evacuations have been ordered.
The first is about 2.5 miles south of Gallinas Canyon, northwest of Las Vegas.
Officials said that for a time, it was the nation's top priority forest fire because of its nearness to the Gallinas watershed, which supplies 90 percent of Las Vegas' water.

Sarah Zybach of NMHU finished 31st in goat tying competition after missing the short go. Zybach was in the hunt after round one, having posted a time of 7.1 seconds. She had a time of 8.4 in round two and a 9.7 in round three for an aggregate time of 25.2. That left her out of the top 12, the cut-off for the Saturday championship round.
Prosecutors have dismissed a DWI charge against a West Las Vegas school district employee who crashed a district vehicle while allegedly drunk.
In late April, the district attorney's office in Moriarty dropped the DWI charge against John J. Roybal, 41, West's head mechanic. But in a plea agreement, Roybal pleaded guilty to careless driving and weaving between lanes.
As part of the deal, Roybal must take a defensive driving course and participate in a DWI simulation program.

The Same Sex Marriage of Convenience between David Cameron and Barack Obama
Comments | Print friendly | Subscribe | Email Us
British Prime Minister David Cameron wants to "export" same sex marriage around the world so other countries can follow suit.
Cameron, whose latest main claim to fame seems to be 'boldly' turning up barefoot when attending local fairs and grandfather-like slippered when he's vacationing in Portugal, had made the boast at a reception for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans-sexual community at 10 Downing Street that Britain was now "the best place to be gay, lesbian or transgender anywhere in Europe".
A good thing he said Europe because Canada and the U.S. are in the same self-styled race.
Western leaders like Cameron and America's President Barack Obama use their election to public office as their authority to go beyond the countries they were elected to serve by imposing their agendas on the world. It's exporting gay marriage around the world for Cameron and imposing socialism and forcing taxpayers to pay for abortion in foreign countries for Obama.
It should go without saying that nobody died making made either one of them king. They are rather legends in their own overactive minds.
Wimpy in things that matter has become the trademark for Western leaders in a politically correct culture. The two wimpy Western leaders in this case are far more dangerous than they appear.
While Cameron, a classic wobbly conservative, brags that he will be the Pied Piper of Same Sex Marriage, Obama, continues as the world's self-crowned champion of partial birth abortion.
Cameron and Obama are also walking proof that job descriptions should be made airtight for politicians who wander far afield of their elected mandates.
Low Information voters have their homework cut out.
We live in a world where civic and municipal councils goose-step to the march of the United Nations.
On-the-take politicians at the municipal level of government, school board trustees and powerful teachers' unions have proven to be so much putty in the hands of the ever-marauding United Nations. It is thanks to them we now have Agenda 21 and Common Core guaranteeing a future Marxist world.
Elections with the lowest voter turnouts bring town mayors, councillors and school board trustees into power. Once incumbents, municipal politicians are rarely, if ever, booted out of office.
Voters elected city and town councillors to take out the garbage and fix the potholes, but they work to change society at the international level as agents of the UN instead.
For western leaders, tinkering at the international level provides diversionary tactics that keep people from asking what they are doing about failing economies, failing health and failing education systems that indoctrinate rather than teach school children.
Tagged as "Dave the Chameleon" in a British Labour Party advertising slogan during 2006 local elections, the campaign attempted to portray the recently elected opposition leader, David Cameron as an ever changing populist who will be whatever people want him to be.
Milquetoast Cameron recounted at a reception for Conservative Fastrack how his two-year-old daughter described the chameleon as "that nice frog on the bike" and refers to it as "my favourite video".
Of his Same Sex Marriage agenda Cameron said, "Many other countries are going to want to copy this. And, as you know, I talk about the global race, about how we've got to export more and sell more so I'm going to export the bill team. I think they can be part of this global race and take it around the world. (telegraph.co.uk, July 24, 2013).
He added: "I'm personally proud of this. I think I'm probably the only Conservative Prime Minister who's taken this step, but I'm very proud I've taken it."
The Netherlands, (2001); Belgium, (2003); Canada, Spain, (2005); South Africa (2006); Norway and Sweden (2009); Portugal, Iceland, Argentina (2010); Denmark, (2012); Brazil, France, Uruguay, New Zealand (2013) had already legislated in favour of Same Sex Marriage before 'Po Boy' Cameron made this egotistically absurd boast.
Meanwhile the top two Western leaders of the world have taken their societies far beyond the line of decency. In short, they want to both kill your kids (wholesale abortion) and stop you from having any (Same Sex Marriage).

Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
What is a donor-advised fund?
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support your favorite charities. If you have a donor-advised fund, DAF Direct allows you to recommend a grant to RAINN directly from our website (as long as your DAF's sponsoring organization is participating).
How does it work?
1. Establish your DAF by making an irrevocable, tax-deductible donation to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program.
2. Advise the investment allocation of the donated assets (any investment growth is tax-free).
3. Recommend grants to the charities you would like to support, with the option of remaining anonymous.
Please contact email@example.com or 202-587-5355 for any other questions about donating through your donor-advised fund.

Collegiate Postgraduate Dressage saddle for an Arab
Has anyone gotten one for an Arab, or Arabian part-bred? How did it fit them and did you find they went well in it?
Of course I'm going to get a saddle fitter out and have a ride in it before I commit to buying one, but would just like to see what other people's opinions on this saddle is.
I have this saddle but dont have an Arab and it is the BEST saddle I have ever ridden in! VERY comfortable!

Renewed bid launched to tackle alcohol misuse
Posted: March 11, 2014|
POLICE officers and council chiefs have launched a renewed bid to steer youngsters away from boozing.
Talk alcohol is a scheme backed by Staffordshire Police, Staffordshire County Council and the NHS. It began as part of a bid to halt a rise in the number of youngsters aged 11 and up from being drawn towards alcohol.
Pupils at schools across East Staffordshire are being visited to warn them of the dangers of drink as part of the project and work is also being done to educate parents to make them feel at ease about talking to their children about alcohol misuse at home.
A campaign spokesman said: "Our aim at the county council is to help reduce alcohol intake, misuse and harm among our children and young people.
"That's why the behaviour, health and wellbeing team is working with partners to provide support, information and advice to middle and high schools across the county.
"Schools within the area can engage with the Staffordshire schools harm reduction project and work with the team to encourage and support the wider school community to help parents and carers to deter and prevent their children from experiencing harms associated with alcohol use."
The campaign has revealed some facts and figures as part of its bid to keep children away from alcohol.
It has been revealed that teenagers who do not drink before they are 15 are seven times less likely to have a car crash in their lifetime.
Health experts have stated that youngsters under the age of 15 can do serious damage to their health and stunt their growth.
It can also lead to impaired memory, which could lead to an impact on school work and exam results.
A recent survey showed 72 per cent of parents did not allow their children to have any alcohol under the age of 13.

I was disappointed by the opinion column of Oct. 27 on the Hippocratic Oath, first by the paper's decision to give broad coverage to such a narrow view and by the column itself.
The vast majority of Americans support and have practiced contraception. Sadly, if we did not, this great country's burgeoning population likely would have outstripped its capacity to feed, and our individual capacity to care for, our people.
Most religions and religious persons accept family planning as a matter of biblically recognized freedom of conscience.
Even cursory research reveals that most medical graduates don't even take the Hippocratic Oath. Rather, there are many variations of it, many of which have removed the provisions at the core of the column.
Much of the oath reflects it's archaic nature, such as swearing to the pagan god Apollo and the treatment of the slaves upon which ancient Greece was utterly dependent.
At the time the oath is attributed to Hippocrates (400 BC), women had virtually no rights in most areas of Greece. Infanticide was widely practiced, at the discretion of the husband, who was deemed to own both wife and child.
The statement that Roe v. Wade was confused about when life begins is inaccurate. Justice Harry Blackmun declined to speculate about it. Noting the differing views of experts, scholars and religious texts, he wrote: "We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins."
I'm offended by the prediction that in 20 years only the "rare Hippocratic physician" would have the integrity to refuse payment to murder a patient.
That scare tactic, along with equating contraception, abortion and forced assisted suicide, is demeaning to the practice of medicine and to the American system of laws.
We are a people of laws, including laws that define medical practice for the safety and protection of patients and laws that guarantee women equal rights, including the right to choose contraception.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- While the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Authority continues to look into the Wilf family finances, the authority's chair has now said that it looks like the team's share of stadium funding shouldn't be a problem.
Michele Kelm-Helgen made the announcement following a closed door meeting with the lawyers looking into the team owners finances. Lawyers have been sifting through a lawsuit that the Wilfs lost in New Jersey recently. "They're looking at the New Jersey litigation. They're making some assumptions on some worst case scenarios, frankly, in terms of what the damages could be," Kelm-Helgen noted.
It's all part of the MSFA's due diligence. Kelm-Helgen says the authority will ask the Vikings to pay their lawyers for the investigation into the New Jersey lawsuit.
The due diligence investigation should wrap up next week, ahead of schedule. Once that happens, the team and the state will resume negotiations over use and lease agreements. The MSFA chair hopes they can wrap that up in the next dozen days. The next step would be waiting on the team to line up its financing, according to the MSFA. The goal would be to get that locked up by November 1st.
"That's what needs to be done in order for the state to feel comfortable to move forward with the bond sale," Kelm-Helgen concluded.
At this point, as long as thing continue to progress, groundbreaking could occur in the first week of November.
Statement from the Minnesota Vikings:
The Vikings are pleased that the stadium project continues to move forward. Our fans deserve - and we are committed to building - a state-of-the-art facility in downtown Minneapolis. The new $975 million stadium will bring thousands of construction and ongoing jobs, along with further economic activity from stadium attendees who will patronize restaurants, bars and retail stores both before and after events.
We continue to believe that the stadium will be built on schedule and will open in time for the 2016 season. The team continues to work collaboratively with the Stadium Authority on the stadium project, and the Authority's comments today are a reflection of our partnership. We will continue to address the design and construction process, and we will work with the Authority to finalize the Use and Development Agreements.

Short Film Travel Assistance
New Zealand short films are frequently recognised and celebrated at festivals both here and overseas. As well as supporting achievement, travel to festivals provides valuable career development opportunities.
Filmmakers gain exposure to international films, build international peer groups, form connections with industry members and companies, and provide an understanding of film financing in other countries. Attendance may also allow the pitching of a current or future project. Travel assistance is linked to defined goals for each filmmaker and festival attendance must provide tangible development opportunities.
At a glance:
- Who can apply? We will consider requests for Short Filmmaker Professional Development Travel Contribution from directors and producers when a short film has been invited to a significant international film festival.
- Level of funding: Funding is available for economy airfares (cheapest available), accommodation for five nights (up to NZD150/night) and taxi transfers only. If accommodation is paid for by the festival we will not cover this cost.
- Type of funding: Grant.
- Application deadlines: Applications may be submitted at any time.
- Details of the festival the film has been selected for, the section (competitive or not) it will screen in, and the professional development opportunities the festival offers (e.g. workshops, seminars etc.);
- A plan for the trip or for "working" the festival, including information about self-promotion, film promotion and other projects which may be pitched, and details of planned contacts and how the applicant plans to best reach those;
- A plan for any meetings to be held during travel to and from the market;
- Budget outlining expected costs;
- Proposed outcomes from financial assistance.
- Applicants must be NZ citizens or have permanent residency and preferably be based in New Zealand.
In the cases where more than one short film is selected for a festival, it is unlikely that available funds will allow for multiple travel grants so the applications will be considered competitively.
Short filmmakers may have one successful application to the fund during a financial year.
The process
To receive this grant we need to see evidence of a filmmaker's strategy to maximise the opportunity of attending a festival. Applications for assistance will be assessed by the Short Film Manager and a Professional Development Executive. Decisions will be made within five days of application.
The travel contribution will be paid in advance of the proposed trip. It will need to be repaid in full if the trip is cancelled.
This fund has an annual cap. Please contact email@example.com before making an application.

Utah forecast: Mostly clear, sunny and hot, hot, hot
Northern Utah looked for mostly clear, sunny skies heading toward the weekend, though thunderstorms were possible for higher elevations of the Wasatch and Uinta mountains.
Hot, hot, hot. All in all, that has to be The Cure for any late-spring weather blues.
High temperatures Friday along the Wasatch Front's valleys were to range into the low- to mid-80s Friday, mirroring Thursday's forecast.
Southern Utahns, meanwhile, could expect the mercury to sizzle to triple digits on Friday, after flirting with the 100s on Thursday. Sunny, cloudless skies also were part of that forecast.
The Utah Division of Air Quality predicted "yellow," or compromised breathing conditions statewide into late this week.
The Intermountain Allergy & Asthma website's pollen index was "high" only for grass, with plantain and chenopods getting a "high" grades and mod rated at "moderate" levels.

Call to support Millom foodbank campaign
Last updated at 17:15, Wednesday, 09 January 2013
A MEETING is to take place tonight in a bid to tackle food poverty in Millom.
The "You Can Help" event will see community leaders and members of the public come together to try to establish a foodbank service in Millom.
Pastor Fred Mckeown, of Millom Community Church, is calling for the public to show support for the project, in a bid to get it off the ground.
He said: "We want as many people as possible to come along and show their support, especially the people who've promised me they would.
"The meeting will help us establish what needs to be done in terms of setting up a foodbank in Millom.
"We won't fully know how much of a need there is in the town until we get things up and running."
The Evening Mail recently reported that the community church is offering a free breakfast buffet on a Thursday, starting this week, at Millom Network Centre.
And Mr Mckeown said he has been pleased with the public response following the article.
He said: "I've been encouraged by the response so far from the public, who say they want to get involved.
"When the article ran in the Evening Mail I had someone come to my house with a big box of food.
"Because we hadn't set up the foodbank at that point, with their permission, I donated it to a large family, who were really appreciative of it.
"A lot of people are asking how to get involved with the foodbank."
The nearest foodbank centre to Millom is 25 miles away in Barrow.
A new satellite foodbank has also been set up just under 20 miles away in Ulverston – something Mr Mckeown is hoping can be replicated in Millom.
He said: "A woman from the Trussell Trust (the UK-wide foodbank network) is coming along to the meeting to speak to us about what we can do in Millom and how we can be of support to it.
"Hopefully, we'll be able to create a satellite branch of Barrow's, like they've done in Ulverston."
The foodbank meeting is set to take place at Millom Methodist Church, in Queen Street, from 6pm tonight.
Reverend Rachel Williams, of Millom Methodist Church, instigated the foodbank meeting after it was revealed that a Millom family starved for six days without food.

Have your say
This has got to be some sort of Labour propaganda.I simply do not believe that a family went six days without food.Did they have no acess to social security.Was no one drawing unemplyment bene fit.Was their no child allowance.Something is seriously wrong here I do not believe for one moment that people need food banks.I'm not going to go on about money spent on alchohol and cigarettes.This has got to be a joke.

It is a "given" in discussions of genetic engineering that no sensible person can be in favour of eugenics. The main reason for this presumption is that so much horror, misery, and mayhem have been carried out in the name of eugenics in the 20th century that no person with any moral sense could think otherwise. In fact, the abysmal history of murder and sterilisation undertaken in the name of race hygiene and the "improvement" of the human species again and again in this century is so overpowering that the risk of reoccurrence, sliding down what has proved time and time again to be an extremely slick, slippery slope, does seem enough to bring all ethical argument in favour of eugenics to an end.
