United States Patent O 3,493,811 EPITAXIAL SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIAL N DISSIMILAR SUBSTRATE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME Richard E. Ewing, Los Altos, Calif., assignor to Hewlett- Packard Company, Palo Alto, Calif., a corporation of California Filed June 22, 1966, Ser. No. 559,572 Int. Cl. Hb 41/29 U.S. Cl. 315-169 5 Claims This invention relates to gallium arsenide-gallium phos phide semiconductor material and has as its principal object the provision of an epitaxial layer of such semiconductor material on a substrate of gallium arsenide semiconductor material for use in injection electroluminescent p-n junction diodes and has as another object the provision of the method for producing an epitaxial layer of semiconductor material on a substrate of dissimilar semiconductor material with a minimum of strain between the substrate and epitaxial layer due to the different lattice constants involved. By eliminating the conventional abrupt transition between lattice constants of the different materials, a diffusion front into the epitaXial layer is more uniformly produced and electroluminescence vat the diffusion front is thus considerably more eiicient than in conventional structures. This transition between lattice constants is accomplished in accordance with the illustrated embodiment of the present invention by grading the transition from the substrate material to the epitaxial layer of the desired material in several layers each having a selected composition.
In the drawing, the cross sectional view of injection electroluminescent p-n junction diode of the present invention shows a body 7 including a substrate 9 of gallium arsenide beneath several layers of varying composition. This body is prepared in a conventional manner as by placing a substrate of monocrystalline gallium arsenide near the lower-temperature end of a quartz reaction tube in a gradient furnace at a temperature of about 750 to 900 degrees C. A source of gallium is disposed near the higher-temperature end of the reaction tube at a tempera. ture of about 800 to 1000 degrees C. Arsine is first introduced into the carrier gas which includes hydrogen and hydrogen chloride to form on the substrate 9 an epitaxial layer 11 of gallium arsenide having a thickness of about 3 microns or more. As this layer continues to grow, phosphine is introduced into the carrier gas at a slow rate to produce the graded composition layer 13 having a thickness of about 3 microns or more. When the gallium phosphide content of this layer attains a value of about 15%, a homogeneous layer 15 with this amount of gallium phosphide per unit volume is grown to a thickness of about 2 to l0 microns.
As the epitaxial growth is continued, additional amounts of phosphine are introduced at a slow rate to produce the layer 17 of graded composition having a thickness of 3 microns or more. When the gallium phosphide content of this layer attains the desired value, say 40%, the layer 19 is grown to any desired thickness, typically between 5 microns and 20 mils with the desired composition (gallium arsenide .6=phosphide .4) throughout. The surface 21 of the body thus formed is then prepared by conventional chemical and mechanical 3,493,811 Patented Feb. 3, 1970 ICC means and zinc or other acceptor impurities such as cadmium or certain transition elements such as manganese is diifused into the prepared surface 21 to form a diffused p-n junction region 23. The region 22 around the selected zinc diffusion area 24 is etched away to a depth below the lower limit 26 of zinc diffusion to expose the edge 0f the p-n junction thus formed.
Electrodes 25, 27 may be attached by conventional means to the substrate 9 and the zinc diffusion area 24, respectively, so that an external circuit 29 may be connected for energizing the device thus formed in such a manner as to emit radiation at a wavelength in the visible spectrum, typically at about 645 millimicrons.
l1. Semiconductor apparatus comprising:
a monocrystalline substrate of one semiconductor material;
a rst epitaxial layer of said one semiconductor ma terial on a surface of said substrate;
a second epitaxial ilayer on said tirst epitaxial layer having a composition which varies with thickness from the composition of said rst epitaXial layer to a composition including said one semiconductor material and a selected iirst fractional portion of another semiconductor material;
a third epitaxial layer on said second epitaxial layer having a composition which is substantially uniform with thickness and which includes said one semiconductor material and said selected iirst fractional portion of said other semiconductor material;
a fourth epitaxial layer on said third epitaxial layer having a composition which varies with thickness from the composition of said third epitaxial layer to a composition including said one semiconductor Imaterial and a second larger selected fractional portion of said other semiconductor material;
a tifth epitaxial layer on said fourth epitaxial layer having a composition which is substantially uniform with thickness and which includes said one semiconductor material and said second larger fractional portion of said other semiconductor material; and
means on said fth layer forming a rectifying junction therewith.
2. Apparatus as in claim 1 wherein:
said one semiconductor material is gallium arsenide;

The National Collegiate Athletic Association announced, May 10, that the New Mexico State men's golf team will be the No. 9 seed in the NCAA Regional Tournament at the Colorado National Golf Club in Erie, Colo., May 19-21.
"I think Colorado is a great place for us to be going for regional," head coach Scott Lieberwirth said. "We played at this course earlier in the year and also playing at altitude gives us a small advantage. I feel this is a good draw for us and having the experience we have I think its sets up well. We still have to go in and play solid golf. I know we are capable of that and if we do, we could be on our way to the NCAA Championship tournament."
This is the fourth straight trip to the NCAA Regional Tournament for the Aggies. NM State won its fifth WAC Championship, May 4, earning a spot at the regional tournament.
The Aggies send senior Tim Madigan, junior Gaston De La Torre, junior Zachery Fullerton, sophomore Justin Shin and freshman Collin Pratt to the regional tournament. Madigan, De La Torre and Shin all competed in the 2010 regional tournament.
Joining the Aggies, who just won their fourth straight WAC title, will be the following teams ranked in order:
Oklahoma State, Georgia, Auburn, Arizona State, Clemson, Chattanooga, TCU, North Florida, Northwestern, Colorado State, San Jose State and Denver.
Last year at the 2010 NCAA Southwest Regional Tournament, the Aggies finished in seventh place shooting a final round score of 9-over par, 297, finishing the tournament with a three round score of 31-over par, 895. The Aggies' Tim Madigan led the team with a three round score of 4-over par, 220, finishing in a tie for 11th overall. Madigan carded a final round score of 2-over par, 74.

The Christ of Chalcedon
The Council of Chalcedon, the 4th Ecumenical Council, tells us a lot about how we should view not only our Lord Jesus Christ, but also His Church, the Orthodox Church and the whole of creation. It has become rather fashionable now in Protestant and Catholic circles to distinguish the "Jesus of History" from the "Christ of Faith." This is what I call the "Channel 4 Jesus." This is the crazy idea that the "real Jesus" has been buried by the Church, (the Protestant version), or that He has been extended and developed by the Church, (the Catholic version). This Nestorian heresy of having two Christs separated as to their human and divine natures and here allocated between genuine and inauthentic or primitive and developed personas is precisely what the Council of Chalcedon anathematised. This is what the Council said:-
"Following the holy Fathers we teach with one voice that the Son [of God] and our Lord Jesus Christ is to be confessed as one and the same [Person], that he is perfect in Godhead and perfect in manhood, very God and very man, of a reasonable soul and [human] body consisting, consubstantial with the Father as touching his Godhead, and consubstantial with us as touching his manhood; made in all things like unto us, sin only excepted; begotten of his Father before the worlds according to his Godhead; but in these last days for us men and for our salvation born [into the world] of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God according to his manhood. This one and the same Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son [of God] must be confessed to be in two natures, unconfusedly, immutably, indivisibly, distinctly, inseparably [united], and that without the distinction of natures being taken away by such union, but rather the peculiar property of each nature being preserved and being united in one Person and subsistence, not separated or divided into two persons, but one and the same Son and only-begotten, God the Word, our Lord Jesus Christ, as the Prophets of old time have spoken concerning him, and as the Lord Jesus Christ hath taught us, and as the Creed of the Fathers hath delivered to us.
[264, 265 Acts of the Council]
Our Lord Jesus Christ, therefore, is One Sacred Person embracing equally and without tension: -
·The Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, God the Son
·The Co-Creator with the Father and the Spirit of the Universe
·The God-Man conceived of the Virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit, one Person of human and divine natures
·The historical Christ who was born, lived, died, rose again and ascended into heaven
·He who is to come again to judge the living and the dead
All these are one and the same Person, our Lord and God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. In Him there is no confusion in the union of human and divine, temporal and eternal, personal and cosmic; nor is there any separation of these dimensions of his existence. All form one coherent whole which is His Person.
That this doctrine of Chalcedon is taught by Scripture is plain to see. Jesus the carpenter of Nazareth is also the God of the Cosmos. In his single Person he gathers together and unites all things heavenly and earthly:-
" … in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth – in Him." [Ephesians 1:10]
Christ has a Body in which all this gathering together takes place, the Church, in which all the fullness of God for the whole Universe is manifest :-
"He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the Church, which is His Body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all." [Ephesians 1:22-23]
These are not isolated references in the New Testament. Listen to St. Paul again in Colossians as paints Christ on a Cosmic canvas.
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the Body, the Church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the pre-eminence. For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of his cross." [Colossians 1:15-20]
The Council of Chalcedon affirms that this is no different Christ who became Incarnate of the Ever-Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. It is the same Christ who loved, laboured, died and rose again. He came amongst us on account of the inherent tragedy of the Fall which touched upon not only human life but the whole of creation as well. They cannot be separated. Human redemption leads to a cosmic restoration. This is how St. Paul sees it in Romans: -
"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God."
[Romans 8:18-21]
Salvation in Orthodoxy, therefore, does not stop at the human level. It proceeds in and through the human realm to embrace the whole Cosmos and this will also receive its freedom from corruption and death in the New Creation. In the Church, this redemption of matter, space and time, this sanctification of all things is achieved in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit regenerating and making all things new through his People. A redeemed humanity has, therefore, a crucial role to play in the healing of the Universe as a priestly order, every Orthodox Christian becoming God's agent for the renewal of creation. We are called to be God's gardeners in a new Eden. (Incidentally, this explains why we Orthodox are so concerned about the environment and ecological concerns. The rape of the earth is a consequence of the Fall and a shameful example of Man's alienation from his Creator).
The precise mode of this priestly service requires us to understand the relationship between humanity and creation. The Scriptures speak of Man as "a little lower than the angels" and "crowned with glory and honour." [Psalm 8:5]. Humankind, therefore, spans two connected realms that, in us, can and should be united … the spiritual and the material. That these can be united is witnessed by the Incarnation. In Christ there is no division between the spiritual and the physical, between the human and the divine. As Chalcedon affirms, in His one sacred Person, all things are reconciled, all things are one. This is because the God-Man, Christ, is fulfilling the task of Creation's High Priest by restoring the unity that it lost at the Fall. To use language borrowed from Greek Platonic and Stoic philosophy, entirely appropriate here; Christ, and now also His Body, is the microcosm of a New Creation. This means that in each saved human being one may see the whole Universe restored. The salvation of the human race is therefore instrumental to the restoration of all things in Christ. We have a divine vocation as priests to be God's agents in the healing of the Universe.
St. Maximus the Confessor sees this great task of humanity as microcosmic priest to the macrocosmic Universe in terms of overcoming a number of polarities caused by the Fall: -
·God and creation
·spiritual and material
·heaven and earth
·paradise and world
·man and woman
This cannot be done theoretically. It has to be done in practice. The mission of Church is to show the world in her common life an entirely new order of things in which division has no place and death is no more. That places a great responsibility on each one of us to live up to the great dignity of our calling from God. To this end we have God's promise of the Kingdom that one day His great purpose will be fully worked out. Until then we labour with grace to open up within ourselves and for others the dynamics of a new resurrection life against which corruption and death is utterly powerless! Thanks be to God!

I need to preface my remarks by saying that I have always been a supporter of law enforcement in our community and that I have a great deal of respect for what they do and the difficulty of their jobs.
That being said, I feel the need to say that with regard to the practice of conducting high- speed chases, enough is more than enough.
It is way past time to discontinue this incredibly dangerous practice, particularly during rush hour on our congested highways. How many people will have to die, to be disabled, or to face the stress of having to replace their personal property?
On March 11, I received a call just after 5 p.m. from my daughter who was returning from volunteering time as a guardian ad litem.
She was extremely shaken by nearly facing death — death due to a suspect and a number of police officers on I-26 speeding between her and the wall next to the lane that she was in.
I am still thanking the good Lord that the call that I received wasn't to tell me that my one-year-old grandson, whom I was babysitting, had lost his mom due to the insanity of a senseless high-speed chase.
This must stop!
If our local police departments don't have a policy that makes sense and protects the public from this danger then they need to make it a priority to put one together.
If they don't want to do it, then maybe we need something from the General Assembly.
Every department has radios. Radios can be used to set up roadblocks or to head off suspects.
Sometimes the potential carnage on our highways outweighs the need to catch a suspect.
Mayors and county councils, you must do something, now!
Now, before you get the same call that I got on Monday.

This tutorial simply picks up from the previous lesson which built a simple JSF application and subsequently deployed that application to Tomcat 7. Here we explore three of the four custom tag libraries that are part of the standard JavaServer Faces distribution, namely the HTML, Core and UI tag libraries.

Charges are pending against a Walart employee suspected of selling expensive cellular telephones at bargain-basement prices to friends of a friend, according to the Ashtabula County Sheriff's Office.
A 25-year-old Conneaut woman, who worked in the Ashtabula Township store's phone department, is suspected of selling several Apple iPhone 5s valued at $600 at the contract price of $90 — but without the contract, deputies said. Walmart is investigating and will present a report to the county prosecutor's office for possible charges, deputies said.
The investigation began in February, when a co-worker informed management the woman was stealing food and beverages from the store and consuming them on the job. That inquiry, along with suspicious sales data, prompted store officials to expand their probe, deputies said.
Officials claim the woman sold a phone to an acquaintance at the contract price, but falsified the contract. Later, the man brought several people to the store to receive an identical deal, deputies said. The woman created bogus contracts for each "customer," deputies said.
Store officials estimated their loss on the phones at $7,500, with another $600 to $800 in food and drink consumed by the worker.
The woman told deputies she received nothing in return for providing the phones, deputies said.

Mr. Greenberg talked about his recent book, Middle Class Dreams, published by Times Books. It focuses on how "middle class" Americans have become alienated from the current political system and how they can influence the next election. He believes that this new majority has changed the two party dynamic, the Republicans being pro-business and the Democrats being pro-"little guy," which he dates back to the election of 1896. Much of his research was based on focus groups, small discussion forums where pre-selected people could freely express themselves on a variety of political issues. close

©2009 Ron McLarty; (P)2009 Random House
"You can't pass McLarty by!"
Ron McLarty is a talented writer and narrator. I was first introduced to his work in Memory of Running. If you haven't listened to Memory of Running, you need to listen to that audio book next. It's amazing. This book isn't Memory of Running, but it McLarty through and through. He establishes characters that you care about and he takes them through a journey that isn't very typical. You don't always know where he's going, but you enjoy the trip. The Dropper is a bit different because you're not sure what the title is about, but you eventually find out in a story that is very intriguing. I'm a McLarty fan, and I'll listen to everything he's does. He's a great writer, and I highly recommend The Dropper as well as his other books.
"Liked it alot"
I liked it a lot while walking. Ron is a great narrator.Better than Art in America by far.
"Don't bother -"
Loved his first book, but not this one. I wouldn't bother - no character to like, and I am still not sure if there was a story.
"Throat literally ached at the finish"
Wrenches warmed heart
To the tee, heart-felt, committed, engaged
The finish
Why can't I give it six stars? Ron, I want you to keep writing -- you are only getting better, and you started off aces...
"a great great book"
what a fantastic book.ron mclarty is fantastic and realy draws you into the characters he has created.
"The Dropper"
I am finding it hard to listen to- set in England but narrated by an American. Worse, the narrator cannot even pronounce Morecombe Bay properly. Even Barrow-in-Furness gets mangled. Sloppy narration!

Less crowded for Finn on tour that's a family affair
Posted: March 28, 2014|
There are musicians all over the world struggling to find a band to play with.
Once upon a time, there'd be scores of adverts in local newspapers, newsagents' windows or music weeklies. Now, it's more likely a website like Gumtree where you'll find the Lennon to your McCartney, and you won't even have to leave the house to do so.
For Neil Finn, finding a band to play on his latest album was easier still. He just asked his sons, Liam and Elroy.
"I've always wanted to do it," says Finn who's no stranger to keeping things in the family. As a teenager, before Crowded House was a twinkle in his eye, he joined his brother Tim's band Split Enz. At the time, they were one of New Zealand's biggest ever bands.
"I'd love to do work with them again, too, maybe more of a writing collaboration next time. My whole family is talented. I'm very admiring of the songs Liam has written and the way he plays, and our son Elroy is developing as a good writer, plus he's a great drummer. It wasn't a hard sell for me."
As he says, his family is talented. Liam, 30, has released two solo albums with a third on the way, while Elroy, who's six years younger, has played drums for his brother and is in various bands.
"We're not competitive," Finn asserts. "Well, not badly so. There's a little bit of winding each other up, but if someone in the family has written a song, it inspires me to go off and write one myself.
"It's hard to differentiate between being inspired, being competitive, and thinking you know best. And there is a tendency among parents to do that," he says, in a manner that suggests he's been guilty of thinking he knows best more than a few times.
"Eventually, you learn that you don't know everything, and it worked out on the record."
Listening to the resulting Dizzy Heights suggests that he's right. It's an album that sounds very relaxed, although the man who wrote it isn't sure whether to agree with that or not.
"I am loath to predict how people will perceive my music," he says. "There are moments of tension when making a record. If something sounds like the most natural thing in the world, then that's a success, but what goes into giving that impression is often far from it. Sometimes you don't feel like you have a creative bone in your body, but the next day it comes back home to you."
Finn reckons his skill as a songwriter is in his perseverance, in willing his talent to come back when it's seemingly deserted him. "It would be easy for me to say, 'No, I've written enough songs now', but actually, I still find it mysterious and amazing, and I'll endure a lot of struggles to write more songs."
Dizzy Heights is Finn's third solo album, the follow-up to 2002's One Nil, although don't think he's been standing still since then – there have been two Crowded House albums and a handful of other assorted releases in the meantime. Dizzy Heights is, however, one of the most unusual-sounding albums of his career.
As the founder of Crowded House, Finn became synonymous with perfectly honed, classic-sounding pop. His biggest hits include Fall At Your Feet, Weather With You, Don't Dream It's Over and It's Only Natural, songs which took Crowded House around the world many times and helped them sell 20 million albums.
While the melodies were well known, they were never ubiquitous and the band were never forced down fans' throats. So gentle was their approach, the advertising campaign for their 1996 Best Of compilation Recurring Dream featured the tagline 'You know more Crowded House songs than you think you do'.
Dizzy Heights was finished around seven months ago, although Finn says his label were concerned about releasing it before Christmas – traditionally the time for compilations and albums that are perfect gift fodder.
"I think people overthink these things, but that's the way it is," he says. "The break did give me a chance to get my head together, rehearse the band and make some videos."

Nolan Padgett Named SSC Men's Basketball Assignor of Officials
WINTER PARK, Fla. (Men's Basketball) – Veteran men's basketball official Nolan Padgett has been hired by the Sunshine State Conference to serve as the Men's Basketball Assignor of Officials. Padgett will be responsible for the selection, evaluation and assignment of all men's basketball officials for every game hosted by an SSC member school.
Padgett, who will begin his duties immediately, takes over for JB Caldwell who has now taken a position in officiating development with the National Basketball Association.
"It is very exciting for us to have Mr. Padgett serving in the assignor role for us," said SSC Commissioner Jay Jones. "Nolan has been a consummate professional on the floor as a conference referee. We are positive that the respect he earned in that role from the officials and the coaches will carry over into his new role."
Padgett brings over two decades of collegiate officiating experience, including the past 20 years with the SSC, to his new position. During his officiating stint with the SSC, Padgett worked multiple conference tournaments and several semifinal games. Known as one of the SSC's top officials, Padgett worked a total of six SSC Championship Games.
"I was fortunate enough to work on the floor in this conference for 20 years and now I'm honored to be selected as the new assignor for the Sunshine State Conference," said Padgett. "I want to thank JB Caldwell because he left this group of officials on solid ground. The future is bright, our senior leadership is strong and our young officials are very talented. The assignor has changed, but the goals as an organization have not and that is to be the best group of officials in the country. I look forward to our upcoming season and I look forward to continuing the tradition of placing talented and high performing officials on the floor for our basketball games."
A resident of Tampa, Fla., Padgett has worked all levels of collegiate basketball. He served on the officiating crew for multiple Division II South Regional tournaments, and officiated the 2009 Division II Elite Eight in Springfield, Mass. In 2006, Padgett officiated the NJCAA National Championships in Wichita, Kan. From 2001-04, he also worked Division I games, primarily for the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC).
Padgett also has the experience needed off the court. On the administrative side of officiating, Padgett has been the assignor of officials for all 250 high schools in Tampa for the previous three years. He also served as President of the West Coast Officials Association for six years, from 2002-08.
A native of Tampa, Fla., Padgett is a 1987 graduate of the University of Florida. He has served as the Assistant Vice President of Business Banking at Regions Bank in Tampa, Fla., and is now the Corporate Vice President of Sales for New York Life.

It's not good for democracy or the rule of law when so many think Siegelman is innocent. He was set up because he was a progressive in a backwards state and nothing more.
There is a difference between conservative and ignorant. Alabama voters haven't made that distinction yet. Since the Civil War Alabamians have voted and died for the rich and their minions.
The republican party has no stance on immigration. That's the reason nothing was done during Bush Jr's administration.
The good people in Baldwin County are a little slow in the head. It will take them a while to figure out they are being played for fools by politicians who don't have their best interest in mind.
The dog ate my iPad.
The resource is already ruined for you and the rest of us who can't afford them. Before the beds were ruined you could get them for free or buy the local ones cheap. Regulations are the only thing that will save oysters and one political party is going on and on about how we don't need government regulations. If you are a working person of modest means and love oysters I don't see how you could vote republican.
Allow me to summarize the article. "Republicans find that it's easier to run their mouths than to run government."
Your type is not welcome in Alabama and you don't speak for anyone but a few like yourself. You are not the majority anymore so get used to it.
Finally our president is doing something about immigration. Our borders have been violated for too long for there to be any easy solutions. We can however have solutions that are as fair as we can make them and this one is fair and practical. The people considered here are soldiers and college students who have clean records and who didn't come here by their own free will but with their parents. The previous administration did nothing about illegal immigration for 8 years so don't expect this president to fix it in 4 but at least he is trying.
Our oysters are an example of another public resource in danger of being ruined forever by a group of greedy ignorant people.
How did it work out the last couple of times Alabama tried to defy the federal government?
I wonder when the goobers will figure out that county and state governments don't have authority over Indian affairs?
This is good journalism. This money is being wasted on this obvious sweetheart contract while the rivers and streams fill with trash and garbage. Why not take the $500,000 a year and start cleaning up the rivers and ditches. Find an individual who can do the paper work and put them on city payroll.
Fox with egg on his face questioning the chickens.
I remember the monstrosity well and was glad to see it go. Our public lands should not have things like that on them and our government should not be in the hotel business.
Hundreds of banks have failed across the U.S.A and millions have lost their homes and savings due to banking regulations supported by Shelby and others on this committee. The mess the country is in has happened on Shelby's watch. He needs to go. He is an embarrassment to the state and the country.
This is great. Finally Mobile has recognized that this is a serious problem. No one wants to invest in a filthy city and besides litter is a health issue. Maybe we wouldn't need new drainage if our ditches weren't full of trash clogging them up. Please put the litterbugs pictures in the paper as a warning to others. Put hidden cameras in places that are trouble spots. We can stop this folks.
So the state is going into the hotel business and using our park for the site. Now instead of regular people enjoying the park, only the privileged few will be invited and private enterprise will suffer because this hotel is subsided by our tax money. Our public lands and waters are never safe from greedy developers and their criminal political buddies.
These commissioner goobers don't understand tribal lands are not part of Escambia Co.. PCI shouldn't waste time talking to them.
This stinks to high Heaven.

Two out of five CIOs cite virtualization as top priority in 2012, report says
In 2012, chief information officers aim to leverage virtualization technologies, as more than 40 percent of survey respondents claimed the services were the top IT priority for their business. The savings generated from consolidating servers will then be reinvested in other IT initiatives like cloud computing, mobility and other high-ranking concerns in 2012, IDC executives told InformationWeek.
This year, businesses will begin to focus primarily on improving productivity while driving down costs. Additionally, more than two-thirds of survey respondents believe their title as CIO is no longer chief information officer, but chief innovation officer, according to the report.
"We think that CIOs are well prepared for this moment," said IDC senior vice president of insights and vertical markets research Meredith Whalen. "They have experience leading in this transformation and they are ready to step up."
The survey also found that CIOs will invest more in big data analytics in order to make sense of the massive amounts of information accumulated through the year.
According to a separate report by IDC, the revenues generated from enterprises using server virtualization will exceed $19 billion by 2014. This year will likely be the beginning of a major trend of companies utilizing virtual environments.

Bobbi Brown Rose Gold Shimmerbrick
Bobbi Brown Rose Gold Shimmerbrick ($39.00 for 0.40 oz.) is supposed to create a "soft, warm pink glow." Each shade can also be used as an eyeshadow. When blended together, it takes on a warm copper with just a hint of pink/rose. It has a frosted shimmer-sheen and has enough pigmentation to give cheeks a little color (more in the form of warmth) as well as highlight. Laura Mercier Rose Rendezvous is a little darker but similar. MAC Redhead looks nearly identical to me.
The first shade is a soft light-medium pink with a frosted sheen. The second shade is a warm yellow with an iridescent pink sheen. The third shade is a rosy copper with a frosted sheen. The fourth shade is a broze with red undertones and a metallic sheen. The fifth and final shade is a medium coppered rose (it's more orange than the third shade).
Because all five shades have a high level of frost in their finishes, this is as a very shimmery, high sheen product. If you prefer a softer, subtler, more refined glow (think Guerlain and Chanel), this will likely be too much. If you like products like MAC Mineralize Skinfinishes, Laura Mercier's Rendezvous, or Estee Lauder's Illuminating Gelees, you'll probably like the finish of this. It does ever-so-slightly emphasize pores; I'm sensitive to products that to do this, but it's minimal enough that you don't see it unless you're standing a few inches from the mirror. If you want a subtler shimmer, try using a stippling brush instead of a regular blush or highlighting brush.
I tested out the wear of this Shimmerbrick last week, and it wore for about seven hours before looking slightly faded after eight hours. The texture of the powder is very soft, and it's not at all gritty–with as much shimmer as there is, it still feels finely-milled and applies incredibly smoothly.

Rose Gold
|If you love shimmer and sheen, you'll enjoy Bobbi Brown's Shimmerbricks--they're full of shimmer with a really soft, smooth application and texture. Rose Gold has a lot of warmth to it without being orange.

Seniors can learn how to protect themselves from scam artists and thieves during a free self-defense seminar held on Saturday in Landover.
The free event takes place from 12:30 to 2 p.m. at the Prince George's County Police Headquarters, 7600 Barlowe Road in Landover, and will feature training from Clifford Thomas, a self-defense expert who has a doctorate in martial arts studies. Thomas said he will be teaching "street smarts" seniors can use to identify scam artists and protect themselves from thieves on the street. These defense methods can be used by any senior since physical exertion is not required, Thomas said.
"When you retire you are part of the street," he said. "When they leave this seminar they will be 10 times smarter than they were when they came in."
The seminar will have skits of scenarios ranging from people pretending to be Comcast representatives to someone's own grandchildren stealing from them, Thomas said. It is about educating people to protect themselves, he said.

Google Prepaid Card and Citi Mastercard only to start, with more partners expected.
Google has officially come clean about its new Wallet app at a press event in New York. The search giant's new online payment app uses NFC to allow punters to pay for goods on their Android phones.
The app lets you load up a Citi Mastercard or use Google's own prepaid card service, which it says can be funded by almost any credit card. It's then just a case of looking out for places where Mastercard PayPass is accepted when you want to use it.
Google says that its Wallet app goes beyond simply storing your credit card. It will also stash store loyalty cards, gift cards and special offers, cutting right down on the need to ever take your actual wallet out with you. It even claims that eventually cinema tickets, ID and boarding passes could be stored on it too.
The Big G has also revealed a new Google Offers feature, much like Groupon, which will sync with Google Wallet, allowing you to take any special discounts you've snagged with you. That service is only in Beta right now, with plans to roll it out across the US this summer.
Unfortunately, Google Wallet remains a Stateside-only affair at the moment, only working on the Nexus S 4G on Sprint. Mountain View has said the service will be expanding over the summer, but as yet there's no word on when it'll come to the UK.
Would you use Google Wallet? Is NFC really the future? Let us know what you think on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

After a pretty tortuous path overcoming the regulatory hurdles, there appear increasing signs we might be getting a bit closer to finding out how popular mobile phone use onboard aircraft is going to be, as there is a bit of momentum among the airlines testing the water. Interesting figures from Emirates today, the first to go live with the AeroMobile service nearly a year ago. It started allowing passenger to make voice calls with their mobile onboard last March and its now available on 31 aircraft. On 15 February it passed a milestone by logging its 100,000th call. But pointing to momentum for the service, the companies say half of these calls were logged in the last two months alone and AeroMobile chief Bjorn-Taale Sandbe says:
"The sharp increase is not due only to the wider availability as our system is rolled out across the Emirates fleet, but the acceptance from passengers of what a valuable and stable service it is."
Plenty of airlines have signed up for these services as well and its a real horses for courses, depending on what type of carrier or where in the world you are, as to whether the driver for this is as a service offering or ancillary revenue driver. The same is true as to whether carriers want voice calls, e-mails or texting, or all of, or none of.
One of the latest to sign up is BA, but its opting for e-mail and text messaging capability only its all-business transatlantic service from London City. Air France, TAP Portugal and now bmi have all been carrying out tests of the OnAir service already, and Ryanair will finally go live with its trial of the OnAir service by the end of the month. This promises to be one of the most informative, as not only are is the Irish carrier starting relatively big – it will initially deploy the service on 20 Dublin-based aircraft with another 20 equipped by summer – it is the first carrier to deploy which is primarily driven by its potential for ancillary revenues.
The next few months in this sector promise to be interesting.
For more on this check out this article Mary Kirby wrote for Airline Business late last year.

The Vodacom Bulls produced a whirlwind first half, and then scored two later tries to whitewash the Southern Kings 34-0 in their Vodacom Super Rugby match in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.
The Bulls grabbed their bonus point after the hooter thanks to a lovely break by Bjorn Basson, who put fellow winger Akona Ndungane over to ensure the visitors left Port Elizabeth with a full complement of points, and top of the South African conference once again.
The victory will come as a massive boost for the Bulls, not only because they got their bonus point, but in the way they were able to use the width of the field at times, and had they not been denied twice in the first half, the scoreline could have been much higher.
In the end it was a clinical victory by a streetwise Bulls team, who not only exposed the Kings' weaknesses, but also burst the bubble of confidence they built up on their recent tour of Australia. But they may have had to pay dearly for the victory, with injuries to Jano Vermaak, Paul Willemse and Flip van der Merwe testing their reserve bench.
With the Kings thriving on confidence, the Bulls needed to strike early and strike hard if they were to keep themselves from getting into an arm-wrestle for the result at the end and they executed their game-plan perfectly.
While the Kings had talked about fronting up physically, the Bulls surprised them by moving the ball wide, speeding up the game and running the ball in the first half.
It wasn't long before they were on the board, thanks to JJ Engelbrecht coming into the backline and taking out three defenders, with the recycled ball spinning wide to man of the match Jan Serfontein, who went over in the corner to open the scoring.
The Kings were looking for a close scrap, but they soon found out they weren't going to get one. Morne Steyn extended the lead with a penalty to 10-0 before Vermaak scored one of the tries of the season, as the movement flowed from their own 22-metre area.
Running from their own danger zone, the ball went to Serfontein, who made 10 metres before getting shut down. But as he went to ground he flipped an audacious pop pass to Lionel Mapoe, who surged forward and popped one of his own to Vermaak, who had enough legs to make the last 40 metres to score the try.
It was a sensational score that will be remembered for a long time, and was a timely reminder of how this Bulls side can play if they decide to let the ball go past 10, and not kick for position most of the time.
The Bulls were denied when it looked as if Chiliboy Ralepelle had scored, but the TMO penalised Werner Kruger for a double movement. The decision fair, the Bulls moved on and almost scored again but with an open tryline and two players on his outside, Jurgen Visser lost the ball thanks to an excellent tackle by Luke Watson.
Watson did look out of sorts otherwise, and having missed several weeks because of injury, was perhaps a bit rusty. Still, the pressure the Bulls exerted also took its toll and Steyn upped the gap to 20-0 with a snap drop goal just before the break.
The Kings emerged a better side in the second half, but still couldn't break the Bulls' defence. On countless occasions they made ground into the Bulls' half, only to lose the ball in a turnover – with Chiliboy Ralepelle particularly prevalent in this regard.
As the game went on and the Kings became more desperate, both Steyn and later Louis Fouche revelled as they put the ball into the corner to keep the pressure on the home side.
With the clock ticking down, it seemed the Bulls were going to miss out on their bonus point, but a late surge at the line saw Jacques Potgieter cross in the 76th minute and with the hooter buzzing, the Kings lost the ball, allowing the Bulls to send it wide to Basson, who used the space and cut inside, carving up the defence.
He passed the ball inside to Ndungane, who went another 20 metres to score, and even though the TMO had to confirm the try, it was given and the Bulls could celebrate their bonus point.
As for the Kings they were taught a lesson in Super Rugby on the night, one which they will learn from. The Bulls came with the right game plan and executed it perfectly.
And the five points they took home would be a perfect arrival present for Frans Ludeke's triplets that were born earlier in the week.
Southern Kings –
Vodacom Bulls – Tries: Jan Serfontein, Jano Vermaak, Jacques Potgieter, Akona Ndungane. Conversions: Morne Steyn (2), Louis Fouche (2) . Drop goal: Steyn. Penalty: Steyn.
