Universe doesn't fight entropy. It slides towards. Life, as a pocket of order, necessitates a more rapid descent towards disorder as its consequence. In other words, life acts as a catalyst for the increase of entropy. So it doesn't violate the laws of thermodynamics. By introducing a catalyst, the slide into entropy is expedited.

The Bulgarian government, preparing a full ban on shale gas drilling due to environmental concerns, on Tuesday cancelled a exploration permit for the unconventional energy source that it granted to U.S. energy major Chevron in June. The centre-right government decided Chevron can still prospect for oil and gas in northeastern Bulgaria but only by using conventional drilling techniques and not hydraulic fracturing, which involves injecting water mixed with sand and chemicals at high pressure into shale formations.
"The idea is that they can still have the right to test for oil and gas, but without using the controversial technology hydraulic fracturing," Economy and Energy Minister Traicho Traikov told reporters after a cabinet meeting.
Traikov said Chevron had not been informed and talks with the company were pending. The decision comes a day before the parliament debates a total ban on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in the Balkan country and its Black Sea territorial waters - a proposal drafted by the ruling GERB party which is expected to be passed. The government in June granted a 5-year permit to Chevron to prospect for shale gas at the 4,400-square-km Novi Pazar field for which initial estimates, based on similar rock formations, showed potential reserves of between 300 billion and 1 trillion cubic meters of shale gas.

I have the black and it is gorgeous, but I carry a microfiber rag with it because it gets covered in fingerprints . . . both the black and the chrome.

I have another question for iPod users:
Is there a way to have the iPod plugged into the computer (so you can play music on itunes) without having it be charged? I know this sounds weird, but I've heard that constantly charging the ipod when it doesn't need to be can damage the lithium battery...So is there a way I can hook it up to my Mac for music without having it be charging the whole time? Otherwise It'd never go down and i think that hurts the battery.
I find it looks classier and sleeker.

The present invention relates to a maskless photon-electron spot-grid array lithography system. The present invention has particular applicability to lithography for imaging semiconductor substrates.
Photolithography is a technique for producing images on semiconductor devices. Typically, an image formed on a mask or "reticle" is transferred to a semiconductor substrate, or wafer, where it exposes a resist layered on the substrate. It is desired to pattern smaller and smaller features on semiconductor substrates, which requires the use of shorter and shorter wavelengths of the light that is used to image the patterns. Optical lithography systems using light in the deep ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths create patterns with resolutions of about 0.25 microns. Further decreases in wavelength to 193 nm enable the imaging of patterns with resolutions of 0.18 microns and 0.13 microns. For further improvements in resolution even;shorter wavelengths are necessary, and a number of systems using the shorter wavelengths of electron beams have been proposed to image patterns with resolutions of 0.1 microns and below.
Electron beam mask projection, such as in SCALPEL, (L. R. Harriott, S. D. Berger, J. A. Liddle, G. P. Watson, and M. M. Mkrtchyan, J. Vac. Sci. Technology, B12, 3533 (1994)) use a scattering mask illuminated by electrons to pattern a substrate. While such systems are capable of high resolution, they are limited by the requirement of making multiple specialty masks, the requirement of including multiple electron lenses, and the ultimate limitation of stochastic Coulomb interactions between individual particles in the beam.
A hybrid photon-electron array printer based on a traditional deep-ultraviolet demagnification scanner-steppers and using a 4� mask is described in High throughput electron lithography with multiple aperture pixel by pixel enhancement of resolution concept, Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B 16(6), November/December 1998, page 3177. In this proposal a 4� mask is illuminated by 106-108 optical subbeams formed by a microlens array. After demagnification these subbeams are focused on a photon-electron converter plate. Each photon subbeam triggers the emission of a narrow beam of electrons. The electron beams are focused individually on a wafer. The mask and wafer are both scanned through the many beams, exposing the entire wafer. The use of the optical imaging system simplifies the image formation and the use of the final electron patterning provides improved resolution. Further, this concept overcomes the inherent problem of Coulomb interaction present in the SCALPEL system.
Unfortunately, due to decreasing design rules and the wide use of RET (Resolution Enhancement Techniques) such as OPC (Optical Proximity Correction) and PSM (Phase Shift Masks), the masks used in image-projection systems have become increasingly difficult and expensive to make. Masks fro electron-projection systems are also extremely difficult and expensive to make. Since many masks are needed to form the multiple patterns required to manufacture an integrated circuit, the time delay in making the masks and the expense of the masks themselves is a significant cost in the manufacture of semiconductors. This is especially so in the case of smaller volume devices, where the cost of the masks cannot be amortized over a large number of devices. Thus, it is desirable to provide a fast apparatus for making semiconductor chips while eliminating the need for expensive masks. It is also desirable to improve the obtainable resolution of optical lithography. Further, such a device may be useful for directly patterning a small number of substrates, such as runs of prototype devices, and for making masks.
Accordingly, it is desirable to develop a hybrid photon-electron system having the high resolution of an electron imaging system, the simplicity and speed of optical systems, and the high throughput of a mask or massively parallel writing system, but do so without the requirement of a mask.
The present invention provides a maskless photon-electron spot-grid array lithography system. According to the present invention, patterns are produced by a massive array of optical beams modulated by a spatial light modulator (SLM) array. The optical beams are focused on a photon-electron converter, which forms corresponding arrays of electron beams. The electron beams are focused on the substrate to expose a desired pattern on a substrate layered with electron-sensitive resist.
According to the present invention, the foregoing and other advantages are achieved in part by a method for printing, comprising the steps of generating an array of substantially parallel light beams; modulating individual light beams to form a spot-grid pattern corresponding to a sampling of an image to be recorded on a substrate; converting the modulated light beams to electron beams to provide a corresponding spot-grid pattern of electron beams; and scanning the substrate relative to the electron beams while the generating, modulating, converting and scanning steps are being performed, such that the image is recorded on the substrate.
Another advantage of the present invention is a step of compensating for mechanical inaccuracies in the movable stage.
Additional advantages of the present invention will become readily apparent to those skilled in this art from the following detailed description, wherein only the preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown and described, simply by way of illustration of the best mode contemplated for carrying out the present invention. As will be realized, the present invention is capable of other and different embodiments, and its several details are capable of modifications in various obvious respects, all without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the drawings and description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature, and not as restrictive.
Reference is made to the attached drawings, wherein elements having the same reference numeral designations represent like elements throughout, and wherein:
The present invention provides a printer that includes a maskless direct-write hybrid optical/electron imaging system. A programmable optical system forms a massive array of optical beams which are individually focused on a photon-electron converter. The spot-grid pattern formed by the focused optical beams is converted to a corresponding spot-grid pattern of electron beams which are focused on a semiconductor substrate layered with an electron-sensitive resist so as to expose the resist with the spot-grid array pattern. The substrate is then translated relative to the electron beam array by a movable stage as subsequent patterns are focused on the substrate so as to build up a final complete image on the substrate.
In certain embodiments of the present invention, the optical radiation source of the inventive printer includes a light source for generating an array of substantially parallel light beams, and a programmable spatial light modulator selectively modulates optical beams from the array of optical beams. An array of microlenses is provided for focusing light from the light source into the photon-electron converter. Relay optics, such as an optical demagnifier, may be employed between the spatial light modulator and the microlens array to decrease the size of the optical image so as to map the individual pixels from the spatial light modulator onto corresponding elements in the microlens array. The microlenses can be a two-dimensional array of diffractive or refractive micro-lenses. The photon-electron converter produces a spot-grid array electron image corresponding to the optical image incident on it, but with significantly reduced spot sizes. This electron image is then focused on the substrate with an appropriate electron lens.
A movable stage moves the substrate relative to the electron beam array in a substantially linear scanning direction that is slanted slightly relative to one axis of the electron beam array such the surface of the substrate is completely exposed as the substrate is scanned across the slanted array of electron beams. In various embodiments of the present invention, the movable stage and the array configuration provide for alternative scan patterns including patterns which overlap, patterns which do not overlap, patterns which provide redundancy, and patterns that provide for various degrees of interleaving. As the substrate is scanned relative to the electron beam array, the pattern generated by the optical and electron systems are programmed so as to build up the desired final and complete image on the substrate.
Spatial light modulator 120 modulates the light so as to produce a parallel array of modulated light beams corresponding to a desired pattern. In one embodiment of the present invention, SLM 120 comprises an array of micromirrors, such as the Model DMD available from Texas Instruments of Dallas, Tex. The individual micromirrors of SLM 120 are responsive to an input pattern data signal 100 such that light is selectively reflected from each SLM element (also called a pixel) to produce the desired pattern of parallel light beams. The parallel light beams pass back through beam splitter 115 to relay optics 125.
Relay optics 125 image each of the SLM elements onto a corresponding microlens in microlens array (MLA) 130. Relay optics 125 preferably provide for a reduction in the overall size of the optical pattern to correspond to the preferred smaller size of microlens array 130 relative to SLM 120. However, in general the function of relay optics 125 is to map the optical spot-grid pattern produced by SLM 120 (referred to as the "first intermediate pattern") onto microlens array 135. Accordingly, as will be described in more detail below, the relay optics may provide a magnification of 1� or greater as required by the relative sizes of SLM 120 and microlens array 135.
Microlens array 130 comprises an array of microlenses, with one microlens corresponding to each element of SLM 120. Each microlens focuses the optical beam incident on it to an optical spot 140 on the surface of photon-electron converter 145. Thus the optical spot-grid pattern formed on the surface of photon-electron converted 145 (referred to as the "second intermediate pattern) corresponds to the first intermediate pattern except that its overall size may be magnified (or demagnified) by relay optics 125 and the size of the individual beams have been reduced to smaller spots by the focusing effect of microlens array 130.
Spots 140 focused on photon-electron converter 145 are well separated from one-another to prevent cross-talk or interference between the beams. In the preferred embodiment, photon-electron converter 145 comprises a photocathode which generates an array of electron sources 150 in response to incident light beams. The spot-grid pattern of electron sources produced by photon-electron converter 145 (referred to as the third intermediate pattern) thus corresponds to the second intermediate pattern focused on the surface of photon-electron converter 145.
Electron optics 155 focuses electrons emerging from the individual electron sources of photon-electron converter 145 to points on substrate 160. As a result a spot-grid pattern is imaged on substrate 160 (referred to as the fourth intermediate pattern). Different alternatives of electron optics 155 are provided in the embodiments described below, which provide various degrees of demagnification in between the image size of the third intermediate pattern and the fourth intermediate pattern. (See
An alternative embodiment of electron optics 155 is illustrated in FIG. 1A. In the alternative embodiment illustrated in
An alternative embodiment of photon-electron converter 145 is illustrated in FIG. 1B. In this alternative embodiment, wherein the second intermediate pattern generated by microlens array 130 are focused onto a corresponding array of microtips 174. Optically activated microtips, such as those used as electron sources in electron microscopes, are physically small, sharply pointed sources of electrons. Each microtip generates electrons in response to incident optical illumination, and the electron source size is determined by the physical size of the microtip. The "tip of the tip" of these sources is microscopically small, and the physical size of the electron emitting tip of a microtip is significantly smaller than the size of the optical spot incident on the microtip. Thus the spot size of the third intermediate pattern is significantly smaller than that of the second intermediate pattern. Therefore, in this embodiment, the microtip provides for a significant reduction in spot size and a corresponding improvement in resolution. Electrons from the array of microtip sources 174 are focused into an array of electron beams 176 by electron optics 156, which forms the fourth intermediate pattern on substrate 160. Electron optics 156 must focus the electrons emerging from the individual microtips and accelerate them towards substrate 160. Such electron optics are well known, and may comprise, for example, a uniform magnetic field combined with an electrostatic field, both aligned along the z-axis (normal to the surface of the substrate.)
Another embodiment of the electron optics 155 is shown in FIG. 1C. In this embodiment, electron optics 155 comprises a demagnifying lens 180, such as is known in the field of electron microscopy. In this embodiment, the demagnification reduces the overall size of the fourth intermediate pattern, the distance between adjacent spots, and the size of individual spots. The reduction of the individual spot size improves resolution. However, this embodiment requires a design of a wide field optics objective, which may suffer from distortions.
Another embodiment of the electron optics 155 is shown in FIG. 1D. The embodiment of
Mechanical stage 167, which supports substrate 160, is illustrated in FIG. 1. Mechanical stage 167 translates substrate 160 in the y direction, which is substantially parallel to one of the axes y′ of the electron beam array of the fourth intermediate pattern. The deviation from parallel is chosen such that as substrate 160 is translated relative to the beam array, and as the beam array is modulated to form sequential spot-grid patterns, the spot-grid patterns interlace or interleave so as to leave no gaps in the mechanical cross-scan direction (the x direction). In this way a complete image is scanned onto substrate 160. There are a number of ways in which this slanted scan can be implemented. For example, the beams may track paths with centers spaced on pixel width apart; or they may track paths spaced one-half pixel width apart and spots on adjoining tracks could be offset one-half pixel width (or less) along the y-axis, resulting in a more tightly packed array of spots on the substrate. Further, scanning patterns with a pitch of less than one pixel between scan lines can be interleaved.
Another embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIG. 2. The printer of
Referring still to
Optical demagnifier 240 reduces the overall image size of the pattern produced by SLM 220 and further reduces the individual spot sizes. Optical demagnifier 240 focuses the demagnified image onto the surface of photon-electron converter 145.
The configuration of
Examples of microlens arrays are abundant in the literature, and include "Microlens array with spatial variations of the optical functions," Hessler et al, Pure Appl. Opt. 6(1997) 673-681, and "A Microlens Direct-Write Concept for Lithography," Davidson, SPIE 3048, p346.
Moreover, the micro-lens arrays referred to herein, such as microlens array 130 and focusing optics 235, can be a single array of lenses, or multiple arrays arranged in series, as per conventional optical techniques, so the optical paths of the individual lens elements from the separate arrays form a compound lens. Such an arrangement results in arrays of compound lenses having a higher numerical aperture than can be obtained with arrays of single lenses. Such compound micro-lens arrays can be mechanically assembled by stacking individual lens arrays, or manufactured by, for example, well-known MEMS (micro-electro mechanical systems) manufacturing techniques.
Examples of arrays of diffractive optical elements are Fresnel zone plates. They can be designed to work at any wavelength, and arrays of Fresnel zone plates have been used in lithography in a process referred to as zone-plate-array lithography (ZPAL). These arrays and there use are described in "Lithographic patterning and confocal imaging with zone plates," Gil et al, J. Vac. Sci. Technol. B 18(6), November/December 2000, and "Maskless, parallel patterning with zone-plate array lithography, Carter et al, J. Vac. Sci. Technol. B 17(6), November/December 1999. In general, these diffractive zone plate arrays are suitable substitutes for refractive optical microlens arrays.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, illustrated in
An example of a scanning pattern is illustrated in FIG. 3. As illustrated, an array of spots (the fourth intermediate pattern) is incident on substrate 160. For simplicity,
In a further embodiment of the present invention, substrate 160 is translated relative to the beam array to form an interlacing pattern, as each spot is moved a distance that is greater than the pitch between two successive spots, during successive irradiations of substrate 160, when a pulsed laser source (such as an Excimer laser or Q laser) for light source 105.
Motion of substrate 160 can be achieved by any means ensuring accurate and linear motion, such as can be obtained from a conventional interferometer-controlled stage with linear motors and air-bearings, commercially available from Anorad Corporation of New York. Further, in an alternative embodiment of the invention, the substrate can be held stationary and the optics generating the beam array can be translated relative to the substrate is translated relative to the wafer.
To correct for any residual inaccuracy such as that created by mechanical vibrations of the stage, a compensator for compensating for inaccuracies in the stage's movement. Referring to
In further embodiments of the present invention, the inventive printer comprises a limiter preceding photon-electron converter 145. The limiter prevents or significantly reduces writing errors to photon-electron converter 145 resulting from an interaction with reflected optical beams, non parallel optical beams, side-lobes and the like. Referring to
One advantage of the present invention is that it eliminates the requirement of a high-order reduction lens. More specifically, mask-based lithography systems typically utilize masks that are four or five times (4� or 5�) the size of the desired final pattern. This requires the use of a demagnification lens, commonly referred to as a "stepper lens," which are typically quite expensive. This has been the case even in current mask-based hybrid photon-electron systems such as described in "High throughput electron lithography with multiple aperture pixel by pixel enhancement of resolution concept," Kruit, P., J. Vac. Sci. Technol. B 16(6), November/December 1998. In contrast, when a programmable maskless source is used, as in the various embodiments of the present invention, the magnification between the source patterns and the substrate is not subject to the same restrictions, and may be one for both the optical and electron optics. Low-distortion optics are more easily designed with low magnifications. Accordingly, the optics may be designed for low distortion, and the input data signal patterns may be loaded accordingly. That is, since the resolution in the present system is determined by the spot size, not the image demagnification, the pattern data to be mapped to the substrate needs simply to be loaded into the programmable source array at the appropriate time and in the appropriate position in accordance with the configuration selected for the photon optics, electron optics, and writing strategy.
The writing strategy and other design considerations affect the design choice for the magnification. For example, if a simple linear scan of a slightly rotated scan is used, where the grid comprises N�N Pixels with a pitch of D, and the address unit size on the wafer is d, then the required de-magnificaiton M will be M=D/(d*N). In some cases this might lead to a slight magnification. For example, if D=15 microns, N=1000 and d=25 nm, then M=0.6. (A slight demagnification. However, the cost and distortion corresponding to this slight demagnification would be significantly less than that of current 4� and 5� stepper lens.
This results in simpler and more distortion-free optics. In fact, the best optics would result from the use of an SLM image having the same size as the final image. i.e., a 1� magnification. Such a reduction element is required in mask systems, where the mask is significantly larger than the desired final image and such reduction elements, or "stepper lenses" are typically quite expensive. However, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, this element may be advantageously
The following calculations illustrate the throughput of a printer according to an embodiment of the invention.
Since FOV=D*nx and, without interleaving, ny=D/p, the total number of spots N is:
For a given data-rate requirement (DR) the frame rate (FR) and hence stage velocity required are:
The present invention is applicable to the manufacture of various types of semiconductor devices, particularly high-density semiconductor devices having a design rule of about 0.18□ and under.
The present invention can be practiced by employing conventional materials, methodology and equipment. Accordingly, the details of such materials, equipment and methodology are not set forth herein in detail. In the previous descriptions, numerous specific details are set forth, such as specific materials, structures, chemicals, processes, etc., in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it should be recognized that the present invention can be practiced without resorting to the details specifically set forth. In other instances, well known processing structures have not been described in detail, in order not to unnecessarily obscure the present invention.
Only exemplary embodiments of the present invention and but a few examples of its versatility are shown and described in the present disclosure. It is to be understood that the present invention is capable of use in various other combinations and environments and is capable of changes or modifications within the scope of the inventive concept as expressed herein. Further, the description is intended to be descriptive and not limiting. For example, the description of the present invention refers to light sources and discusses optical sources and optical radiation in terms of light and light images. However, the inventor includes all wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation when he references "light," and not to limit it to visible wavelengths. For example, shorter wavelengths of light, referred to as ultra-violet, deep ultraviolet, extreme ultra-violet, X-rays etc all are considered within the scope of "light" as they all refer to photons and electromagnetic radiation, and are distinguished only by the wavelength of the radiation.

text: Tweet Once at an indoor-outdoor bar in Puerto Rico I spotted a giant land crab crawling on the wood beams above my table. I'd never seen anything like it: It was smooth and bulky with a sort of blue-black shell. However, compared to a fully-grown coconut crab, my Puerto Rican crustacean was small potatoes. A coconut crab doing it's thing. Pic: fearlessRich (Flickr CC) Coconut crabs are only found on islands in the Indian and Pacific oceans. They don't have natural predators and subsist on nuts, seeds, carrion and whatever else they find lying around. Like other carrion eaters, such as hyenas and vultures, they've got an incredibly powerful bite, or to be more exact, pinch. I guess you need nutcrackers for hands if you're a crab who eats coconuts. Coconut crabs keep growing throughout their lives, which can last as much as 60 years. This makes them the largest land-based arthropod in the world. I'm guessing the largest in the sea is the Japanese spider crab, which is a total cheeky freak of the deep. Check out this specimen on Christmas Island: Now I've seen some pretty weird things in my life, but I've never encountered an animal with two heads. But the San Antonio Zoo in the great state of Texas now has one. To be fair, it's really two turtles with one body, as we all know the soul is firmly nestled in the brain, right under the hypothalamus. In a fit of 90s Hollywood nostalgia they've gone and named the turtles Thelma and Louise. From ITV News: The right side was looking around very curious and the left side was trying to bite me. I have to put my vote on the left side, seems a little dominant. –Craig Belke, Curator of Reptiles, Amphibians and Aquatic Animals, San Antonio Zoo Which one would that be, Thelma or Louise? I've never seen the film and I can't be bothered to watch it just to find out which turtle head you are referring to. Check out the Two-headed Turtle of Texas below: Anyway, back with more freaks next week. This could become a regular thing. SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER Thank you, your sign-up request was successful!

What causes sinkhole? How to detect sinkholes? How to prevent sinkholes? Sinkhole warning signs
What causes sinkholes? How to detect sinkholes? And how to prevent sinkholes?
Those are questions that've been on many minds lately, following the INCREASING numbers of giant sinkholes forming in the US and around the world.
As the name suggests, sinkholes are naturally occurring holes in the surface of the earth. Sinkholes can form gradually or – in most cases – suddenly.
They form in areas where water flowing underground has dissolved rock – typically limestone – below the surface, leading to the formation of underground voids into which the surface sediment falls. They vary in size from 1 to 600 meters.
Sinkholes are found all over the world. In the U.S., sinkholes are especially common in Texas, Alabama, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and Florida.
Look at these US sinkhole maps.
Experts say that thousands of sinkholes form in Florida each year. There's hardly a place in Florida that's immune to sinkholes. In addition to sitting on highly porous limestone, the state has additional factors that can lead to the formation of sinkholes, including extreme weather and aquifer pumping.
In an effort to prevent injuries, deaths, and property losses caused by sinkholes, scientists have tested various methods of detecting the underground cavities that can lead to sinkholes. These include radar, seismography, and electrical resistivity testing.
Discover some of the most impressive sinkholes around the world.
You don't have to be a scientist to be able to recognize certain signs that a sinkhole is about to open up. A brochure issued by the Southwest Florida Water Management District lists several sinkhole warning signs, including slumping trees or fence posts; the formation of small ponds in areas where water has not collected before; wilting of small, circular areas of vegetation; and structural cracks in walls.
But despite efforts to spot sinkholes before they occur, there are still plenty of unpleasant – and occasionally tragic – surprises. There's no accurate way of ever predicting where a sinkhole is going to occur.

[…] Sinkholes are common hazards in mining regions, plaguing areas where miners have burrowed into layers of soluble minerals and accidental floods have followed. But natural sinkholes can take thousands of years to form and vary in size. They are usually the result of what are known as Karst processes, which occur when a layer of rock such as limestone underneath the ground is dissolved by acidic water. Typically rainfall seeps through the soil, absorbing carbon dioxide and reacting with decaying vegetation. As a result, the water that reaches the soluble rock is acidic.

Remember, we're giving away great prizes this week - 5 Infant Starter Kits! To enter, join the discussion and tell us which of the following activities you engaged in:
Views: 310
I liked the page, but couldn't share about the free bottle promotion. :(
I am expecting baby #7 in May. The older siblings are 4 sisters 10, 8, 7, and 3 and 2 brothers 5 and nearly 2 (January 1st). Every pregnancy is different, but my biggest "giveaway" when I am early and unsure is my dislike for chocolate o.0 I generally LOVE chocolate, the darker the better. This pregnancy I'd rather eat steak or a really good burger. :D
You may be wondering why I am interested in winning this when I am expecting baby #7. We love Avent bottles, it has been the only brand my little ones would consistently take when they needed one. My small stash is soo very old (7 years or more!). This little one needs something new. :D
I'm not pregnant, but I am a mother to 3 kids (ages 7 5 & 3) The most amazing thing each and every time was hearing the heartbeat for the first time. It officially let me know I was sharing my body with another precious life!
I'm here for my sister, who is pregnant with #1! I'd love to win an infant starter set for her and help answer any questions women here might have :)
I liked and tweeted!
I liked the Philips Avent FB Page
and we're adopting a baby in the next few months, so this would be fantastic to win!
1. I liked the Avent FB page.
2. I am not pregnant but am a mom of 2 and i cried each time i heard the heartbeat for the first time. This was especially memorable to me after suffering 2 miscarriages before that.The first kick was also great. I wasn't sure it was a kick at first so I poked in my stomach a few times to make sure and sure enough, my son kicked again. lol.
3. What surprised me the most during my pregnancy was how big I got. I i gained over 40 pounds and the funny part was if you saw me from behind you would never know i was pregnant but when I turned around, WOWZA.
4. I have several friends who just had their first child, including my neighbor whose baby is almost a month old.
I am newly pregnant (6 weeks) with baby #5. My girls are 10, 9 and almost 5 years old and my little guy is 3 years old. We had only planned on having 4 children, but decided about a year ago that there was another child in the cards for us.
Since I am so newly pregnant, the most exciting part has been the positive test. In past pregnancies, it was always the kicks and moving around that was exciting.
This pregnancy has already started out different from any other. My craving has been dolmas (stuffed grape leaves), something I had never had before, but HAD to buy off the olive bar one day. Ever since, I have been eating a few each day. I have never had morning sickness, only minor nausea, but this time around, I am experiencing severe nausea and heaving, but no vomiting (yet). This is also the first pregnancy where I have had no appetite at all and I have to force myself to eat. My energy levels are also higher than they have been in the past. I can't say which part surprises me the most. I think I am just generally surprised at how different this one is.
I liked the Philips Avent page on facebook.
1 I am currently 30 weeks pregnant and looking forward to meeing my first child the first of January.
2. The most memorable moment so far is being able to see baby girl move on the ultrasound. It makes it feel more real to see something that looks like a baby in there and be able to feel her moving while seeing her move.
3. What has most surprised me is how good I've felt throughout the pregnancy. I've not had any morning sickness and other than being a little tired have had no symptoms that i hear other pregnant women complaining about.
I liked and tweeted!
1. I'm not pregnant, however, I'm a Mother of 3 children and 1 grandbaby. My cravings has surprised me the most during my pregnancies along with feeling my babies moving around in my belly. My advice to new moms/will be moms, take it easy during your pregnancy. Don't overwork or stress yourself out about anything. Remember what your feel, the baby feels also.
2. "Liked" the Philips AVENT Facebook page - Quanda.
3. Tweeted - http://twitter.com/#!/Naddez/status/129734125132324865
1. Liked the Avent FB page but couldn't share the Free bottle- said campaign was full
3. Tweeted- http://twitter.com/#!/stealsdealslife/status/129675087828877312
All four of my pregnancies have been different. No morning sickness with the 2nd or 3rd but this 4th has been awful- oh and by the way for those not pregnant or who have never been it shouldn't be called morning sickness but rather ALL DAY sickness. It just comes and goes.
Memorable- I always love seeing the sonograms makes me want to cry- course I"m not usually like that probably all the extra hormones. I'm only 16 weeks right now and still waiting for that first kick but I'm sure I'll be the same way with it- I was with all my other pregnancies. :)
I'm completely obsessed with sweet pickles- I know it's a huge cliche about pregnant women and pickles but I love them- oh man now I gotta go eat some :)
I "Like" Avent on FB but couldn't share. The free bottles have all been given out.
The most memorable time in my pregnancies were the moments of feeling them move and kick. I could also tell when my babies had the hiccups. I also remember my son stretching his leg out as far as it would go and I could feel the shape of his tiny little foot and put it between my index finger and thumb. Amazing feeling!
Tweeted: http://twitter.com/#!/MyBellaMia/status/129940712463679488
What surprised me the most about my pregnancies is that I didn't get stretch marks on my belly like so many other women do. Oh, and my craving for Taco Bell and Burger King. Oh my! hahaa.

August 3, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) State insurance commissioners are voicing serious concerns about President Barack Obama's plan to stave off cancellations for people whose individual policies don't comply with the new health care law.
In a statement Thursday, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners warned that the president's decision could undermine the new insurance markets being created under his overhaul law.
Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon, president of the group, said Obama's proposal could lead to higher premiums and market disruptions next year and beyond. It may also be unworkable as a practical matter.
A Republican, Donelon was speaking on behalf of the organization.
The health insurance industry's main trade group has made a similar statement. America's Health Insurance Plans says member companies have already set premiums for next year based on the assumption that many people with current individual coverage will shift into the new markets created under the health care law.

Below is the poem entitled DODO-ITSU-not a Dodoitsu which was written by poet
Richer. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Jane Richer
With long legs and elongated beak he came,
wearing trunks and a black sash 'round his waist,
smelling of 'High Karate' and wearing a blue headband,
the 'bad-seed' leader of Jujitsu and martial arts, we all faced!
This was no panty-waist or mealy-mouth bird-brain,
no chicken-livered fowl that worked for scratch,
No! Here was a true blue hero, a real egg-ample to us all,
Dodo-itsu - master fighter, a feathered leader that all hens longed to catch!
For years he taught us how to fight with beak, claw and wing,
and then for some strange reason, he packed up and went away,
some say that he got too old to teach and then became extinct,
but I believe that he was called to battle and still is fighting today!

Do I know you? I feel like I do, cause of your username and I know someone like you thats into anime.
#50 to #46 - mrsInuyasha (08/14/2011) [-]
how am I supposed to know if I know you? your anon and you didnt give any info about yourself. My first name is Amber though.
#33 to #32 - mrsInuyasha (01/30/2011) [-]
well, of course it is. It was the first anime I ever got into and the first manga I read. I have other favorites but Inuyasha has a special place due to that. :)
#36 to #39 - mrsInuyasha (05/17/2011) [-]
it does get kind of repetitive......but i still love it anyway. I was so excited when they came out with the new episodes bc initially they wernt going to. so i read 500+ manga chapters to see the ending. if you like soujo/romance anime/manga Ive watched and read too many to count and can recommend some great ones if you're interested.
#38 to #41 - mrsInuyasha (05/17/2011) [-]
np. I have one too but I can never stick to it. and not into manga? You dont know what youre missing. I actually watched anime for years before I stared reading. now I dont know how I did it. basically every anime comes from a manga, so if you love the anime you will love the manga of it 3x more. also anime usually stops way before the story is over. lol I think Im sounding a bit like a salesman for manga.
#40 to #43 - mrsInuyasha (05/19/2011) [-]

with aloe vera? In the yarn?
Nice socks. Toe up? Cuff down? What type of heel? Just curious as I've not seen a heel profile quite like that. How nice that your sister will get such a nice pair of socks as a gift. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
Beautiful socks! Your sister is a lucky gal.

There's a quiet revolution unfolding inside the boxes, bags, cans and bottles on supermarket shelves. Foodmakers are trimming the blood-pressure-boosting sodium in some of their saltiest and most popular processed foods by as much as 33 percent.
That's great news, but don't let headlines about this sodium-slashing success story stop you from taking another important step toward better blood pressure: Upping your potassium intake.
Potassium may be the missing mystery mineral in your own better-blood-pressure equation. Just one in 50 Americans gets enough of this good stuff, found in abundance in almost all produce, dairy products and beans. Potassium actively lowers blood pressure, in large part by buffering salt's efforts to jack it up.
Every 600-milligram increase in the amount of potassium you eat every day (that's less than a cup of cooked spinach) lowers your BP by one point. Wow! And that's not all it does: It also helps with nerve functioning and muscle control (athletes may need extra — say, from a glass of fresh orange juice or a banana — after workouts).
But the scary news for the 30 percent of Americans with high blood pressure (and the additional 30 percent with prehypertension) is that most of us get twice as much sodium as potassium. A healthy balance between these two minerals should go the other way, with two to five times more potassium than sodium! Righting the balance is not so hard to do, and it could help you live longer. No wonder the World Health Organization recently called for a global increase in potassium intake. Here are six strategies to help you do that naturally:
Feast on leafy greens more often. Why not every day? Swiss chard and spinach are potassium all-stars, with one cup of cooked greens delivering more than 800 milligrams — one-sixth of the 4,700 milligrams you need daily. Cooked kale, cabbage, beet, mustard and turnip greens are also terrific sources, with about 300 milligrams per cup.
Keep potassium-boosters in the freezer. Stock up on bags of convenient, no-waste, frozen chopped kale, collards, mustard greens and spinach (plain without added sauces or sodium). We love them. You'll never find wilted, slimy, oops-I-forgot-about-these greens languishing in the back of the fridge!
And in your cupboard. Dried beans are another super source of potassium with about 600 milligrams per cup when cooked. No time to cook beans from scratch? Stockpile sodium-free canned beans in your pantry. Toss them into soups and stews or microwave with a handful of frozen greens for a quick and healthy lunch.
Dive into spinach or romaine salad. While cooked spinach (steamed or boiled), added to soup or sauteed with olive oil and garlic, delivers a blood-pressure-pleasing percentage of your daily potassium requirement, going raw delivers an even bigger dose.
Cooking can reduce levels of this mineral significantly; just blanching 31/2 ounces of spinach for a few minutes drops potassium levels 56 percent. So opt for a salad made with spinach or potassium-rich romaine lettuce. Top those raw greens with potassium-rich tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, celery and bell pepper. And keep your potassium-sodium ratio in balance by dressing your salad with oil and vinegar rather than a salty bottled dressing.
Enjoy an old-fashioned baked potato. A medium-size baked white potato, if you eat the skin, nourishes you with 751 grams of potassium. Keep calories and fat in line: Skip butter and sour cream, and try topping your tater with a dollop of Greek yogurt, or use a splash of flavorful balsamic vinegar on your potato. Add a generous sprinkle of black pepper and dive in. (If you're at a restaurant, order a baked spud instead of fries or mashed.)
Sneak in these seasonings and natural sweets. Spice things up with ginger and turmeric, both contain pressure-pampering potassium. How about a fruit salad made with potassium-rich strawberries, bananas and dried apricots topped with yogurt and a sprinkle of freshly grated ginger? You'll say "yum" as your blood pressure hums.

Denial on FoxNovember 08,2012Somewhere in the middle of the election-night returns, I stopped flipping through the channels watching the parade of giddy anchors, jacked up on caffeine and infographics and settled on Fox News Channel. It wasnt a partisan act, though I imagine Fox racked up lot of gloating liberal viewers Tuesday night. This was a matter of entertainment: On a night of far less tension than expected, this was where you got the high emotions.
Hours before the network declared for Obama, the hint of despair was palpable, though the expression of it varied by personality. Peggy Noonan described a subdued feeling; Liz Cheney groused that the Republican bench was better than Elizabeth Warren. Sarah Palin, remote from Wasilla, declared this a perplexing time for many of us right now.
Only Karl Rove remained stubbornly optimistic, and the anchors werent buying it. As Rove delivered a dizzying monologue about percentages in Ohio, Megyn Kelly asked, Is this just math that you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better?
And then came the remarkable tussle over the Fox News Decision Desk, as Republicans including a still frantically number-crunching Rove questioned the networks Ohio call.
That battle overshadowed the hand-wringing over messaging gone wrong: the harsh rhetoric on immigration, the importance of womens issues, the image problem caused by certain far-right candidates, the notion that maybe the country was more liberal than Brit Hume had previously thought.
And then there was the possibility that Mitt Romney simply didnt listen to Bill OReilly, who declared, early in the night, that he had told Romney advisers that the governor needed to be more visible after Hurricane Sandy.
And this is not self-aggrandizement, OReilly said. Nah. Just entertainment.

Facebook CEO's Internet Crusade Hopes To Bring Billions Online
Originally published on Wed August 21, 2013 4:38 pm
Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has teamed up with other tech giants to pursue the goal of providing Internet service to five billion people in the developing world. The group, called Internet.org, says data can be used more efficiently and participating partners can work cooperatively to make access to the web affordable in emerging economies. Zuckerberg makes the case on his Facebook page for how a global Internet infrastructure can be created. But the document doesn't have tangible commitments from Facebook or other participating companies.

By Neo4j Staff | May 29, 2013
The latest M03 milestone release of Neo4j 2.0 is as you expected all about improvements to Cypher. This blog post also discusses some changes made in the last milestone (M02) which we didn't fully cover.
Cypher now contains a MERGE clause which is pretty big: It will be replacing CREATE UNIQUE as it also takes indexes and labels into accounts and can even be used for single node creation. MERGE either matches the graph and returns what is there (one or more results) or if it doesn't find anything it creates the path given. So after the MERGE operation completes, Neo4j guarantees that the declared pattern is there.
We also added additional clauses to the MERGE statement which allow you to create or update properties as a function of whether the node was matched or created. Please note that — as patterns can contain multiple named nodes and relationships — you will have to specify the element for which you want to trigger an update operation upon creation or match.
MERGE (keanu:Person { name:'Keanu Reeves' })
ON CREATE keanu SET keanu.created = timestamp()
ON MATCH keanu SET keanu.lastSeen = timestamp()
RETURN keanu
We put MERGE out to mainly collect feedback on the syntax and usage, there are still some caveats, like not grabbing locks for unique creation so you might end up with duplicate nodes for now. That will all be fixed by the final release.
Going along with MERGE, MATCH now also supports single node patterns, both with and without labels.
Cypher Changes
Two new functions startNode(rel) and endNode(rel) allow quick access to both ends of a relationship.
Besides the existing USING index hints, you can now also require Cypher to scan the given labels for nodes (if it doesn't do so automatically).
The Cypher ExecutionResult is now closeable and will immediately release resources upon closing. It's no longer necessary to exhaust it.
We fixed an issue with UNION and textual output, close readonly index results and fixed an issue where index lookups failed with literal collections.
Transactional Cypher HTTP endpoint
Already with Milestone 2 we added a new Cypher HTTP endpoint for allowing transactions to span multiple HTTP requests. This endpoint only works with Cypher statements, of which you can post multiple in a single go. It streams data from and to the server and has a much more concise format for returning the data. Returned Nodes and relationships are just represented by their properties (a JSON map). Aside from improved support for transactionality, this API should perform better than the existing (older) Cypher REST Endpoint because of the decreased verbosity of the response.
You can use this endpoint to post a bunch of statements in one go, or post multiple read and write statements in sequence. Rollbacks are requested by HTTP DELETE requests and commits by POSTing to a commit URL.
Here is an example session:
Create Transaction and do some work.
>> POST http://localhost:7474/db/data/transaction
{ "statements" : [ {
"statement" : "CREATE (n {props}) RETURN n",
"parameters" : { "props" : { "name": "My Node" } }
} ] }
<< 201: Created
Location: http://localhost:7474/db/data/transaction/3
"commit" : "http://localhost:7474/db/data/transaction/3/commit",
"results" : [ { "columns" : [ "n" ],
"data" : [ [ { "name" : "My Node" } ] ] } ],
"transaction" : { "expires" : "Tue, 28 May 2013 13:19:59 +0000″ },
"errors" : [ ]
Commit transaction
>> POST http://localhost:7474/db/data/transaction/3/commit
{ "statements" : [ {
"statement" : "MATCH n RETURN id(n)"
} ] }
"results" : [ { "columns" : [ "id(n)" ],
"data" : [ [ 2 ] ] } ],
"errors" : [ ]
The endpoint now supports transaction timeouts and keep-alive.
In the Neo4j-Shell we added commands for listing automatic indexes and their state.
Also the BatchInserter is now label aware, allowing you to create initial Neo4j stores containing labels.
Breaking Changes
Please note that you cannot upgrade a graph database store from 2.0.0-M02 to 2.0.0-M03 due to incompatible changes in the store files. Please recreate your database for the newer version.
Milestone 2 contained some breaking changes:
Milestone 2 contained some breaking changes:
- Replaced protected fields from org.neo4j.graphdb.factory.GraphDatabaseFactory
- Removed org.neo4j.graphdb.index.BatchInserterIndex and BatchInserterIndexProvider please use the ones in the package org.neo4j.unsafe.batchinsert
- The BatchInserter and the BatchGraphDatabase are not binary compatible with 1.9 due to some methods now taking a varargs array of labels as last argument, please recompile your code
- We removed the alternative WITH syntax (==== a,b,c ====)
As always we welcome you to try out the new milestone release and report back any feedback, issues or suggestions.
Latest documentation is here. You can also find Neo4j 2.0.0-M03 on maven central.
Thanks a lot to Michael Bach, Rich Simon, Robert Herschke, Wes Freeman, Aseem Kishore, Morteza Milani, Javier de la Rosa and many more for great feedback on Neo4j 2.0. Keep it coming.

Transactional endpoint is just awesome 😀
Loving already the transactional endpoint.
Merge is awesome for nodes. But it doesn't work for relationships. Do you plan to implement it for relationships? Create unique doesn't handle our specific case, we need OnCreate and OnMerge ….

"Boots to Books – Vets Coming Home" will feature the college veteran's program coordinator Ed Arndt and counselor Dr. Robert Harris discussing issues associated with men and women readjusting to life after war, with particular regard for its effect on classroom behavior.
The college staff development presentation is free and open to the public.
Nearly 400 veterans of the Mid East war on the campus, according to Harris. Harris and Arndt will offer methods of accommodating veterans with adjustment issues.

Predators GM staying patient despite offensive concerns
Dec 13, 2013, 8:23 PM EDT
Nashville hasn't missed the playoffs in back-to-back campaigns since 2003, but that trend is in danger of ending. The Predators are eight games out of a playoff spot with a 15-14-3 record.
Although they've been without goaltender Pekka Rinne for nearly two months, their bigger problem has actually been their offense, which ranks 23rd in the league with an average of 2.31 goals per game.
Nashville Predators GM David Poile views that as a key area of concern, but that doesn't necessarily mean that significant changes are on the way.
"If we could improve the team by trade, I would be happy to do that. On the flip side of that, there are some guys who have not quite performed to how I think they can perform," Poile told the Tennessean. "I think we're exercising patience on that and hope and believe that they can help us win some more games."
Poile's patience also extends to coach Barry Trotz.
"We've been together for 15 years. We've been through situations like this," Poile said.
When it comes to forwards that haven't lived up to expectations, Viktor Stalberg sticks out. He's in the first season of a four-year, $12 million contract, but he has just eight points in 26 games.
All the same, Poile suggested that there are a lot of forwards that have underperformed this season. Unless that changes, Nashville will have a very tough time making the playoffs.

Need goals. That is all.

As a Preds fan I hear this from Poile every year. We have had the same problem for consecutive seasons and he keeps saying the same things.

I'm sure Shea Weber loves Poile's sense of urgency and win at all costs mentality.
Or not.

In a defensive minded system, scoring goals will always be a problem. Look to Trotz and no further.
