Exactly. Now you're making my point for me, thanks. Overpopulation is a horrible thing, we must be vigilant in monitoring it. There is really only one super-major problem in the world -- overpopulation. Sure, there are other problems, but there is one and only one major problem. Many other problems derive from the one source. I hope 20 years from now the U.S. population is around 300 million.
Ok, well however you wanna frame it, California has problems that I think are directly attributable to overpopulation, illegal or not. Wyoming is doing fine. Spin it however you want, boats sink when there are too many people riding in them. I'm not challenging your abortion stance. Although I am a Roe v Wade supporter, I recognize that your opinion is valid. Honestly, I think you're trying to work your abortion stance into an article where it doesn't really fit. Wrong article. Just wait a little bit, there will be an article where you can discuss your abortion opinions.
Sorry, but I don't think that's why this country has problems. Look at individual states. There is not a state in the country that has problems on the level of California. What does California have? Population pressure. Our country has many problems, but those problems do not exist because 50 million fetuses were aborted. If you're against Roe v Wade, that's fine, you're entitled to that perfectly valid opinion. But that's not the root of all our problems. And you speak of defaulting to China? That's the place where we can imagine forced abortions. Care to clear any of this up? I would like to understand your angle.
It's all a numbers game for lawyers and negotiators at this point. We all know Reggie is good (and still has some years to go because he hasn't taken too much of a toll on his body at this point). We also know that the Saints are a world class football organization that's going to, more likely than not, make the right decision regarding Reggie and the $ figures. Loomis/Payton is proven when it comes to personnel. For us fans, this is just fun at this point. We have a luxury of riches at RB. We're better with Reggie, but we'll probably go to the SB anyway. But it'll be easier with him. It's all about negotiation at this point, and what we get in return if we don't resign him. I hope we keep him, but glad we have Thomas, Ivory, Hamilton, and Ingram just in case.
While I agree that the drinks they have buried in the past few years have been good choices, I think they are making a mistake with this year's choice. Rather than being buried as unsophisticated, the LIT begs for reinterpretation. There is much that could be done with this drink, I think it still has a pulse. Good example loupgarou.
The easy answer is to decide what percent of the budget needs to be cut, and then make that percentage cut across the board....defense, entitlements, govt. programs, etc...For instance, if government needs to be cut by 30%, then every program would suffer the same 30% cut across the board. Everyone gets to be 30% less happy than they were before. No cherry picking.
All a bunch of legal stuff involving banks and lawyers and Deuce, happens every day, only this is Deuce, so it's in the news. The lawyers will figure it all out. No one would even be talking about this everyday event if it wasn't Deuce. Elsewhere in the news, it will be hot tomorrow.
The way the story reads, we either have a wrongful arrest, or there are things left out of the article that are pertinent.
Maybe this is the kid that shot the Waco Kid (Gene Wilder's character in Blazing Saddles) in the butt and drove him to drink :)
Zephyrs. Baseball. July 4th. American. Nuff said.
DA's office may not wanna accept attempted murder charge, aggravated assault may be easier one to get a verdict on, I'll betcha anything they change the charges.
Sorry, but you are wrong. Dickie's cooks know how to make a roux well. Very well.
So sad. He was very gracious when we met, knew how to run a bar, that's for sure. Definitely leaves a positive legacy. Good post midgillyadv.
They all make speaking gaffes. Everyone of them. Dubya, Obama, Bachmann -- everyone of them. Big deal. Hopefully, the majority of Americans will consider what is substantive.
I think the reason Duncan has the loss of Bushrod greater than the loss of Goodwin is because of position, LT being more important than center.
I support Roe v. Wade and am glad that abortion is legal. This bill does not seem threatening to me. It does not restrict a woman's right to an abortion; it only empowers them to understand all their options, I don't see much to worry about.
The cost of the tests will exceed the amount saved. They already know this through demographic analysis. We conservatives want to save money.
The taxpayers have enough burden without having to pay for LaBruzzo's bill. Glad to see this liberal spending bill die.

We were totally celebrating that we could have the gluten free allergen-free treats by Izzi B's at the Celiac Disease Center Spring Party. We LOVED trying their fresh baked which are even better than the frozen. Really, you can't believe how good the fresh baked are. But, I definitely have my favorites--the cinnamon toast crunch and raspberry with golden yellow cake and chocolate with chocolate ganache. I think Izzi B's should go all fresh baked and I am so happy I got to sample them fresh at this event because I NEVER would have known how good they were. The mini cakes are even better than the cupcakes. And everyone liked the sugar cookies. I like them better than Babycakes and they are moister than Tulu's. But you need to take care to choose the right flavor as some are definitely tastier than others. Hopefully G-Free NYC or Food Liberation will carry them fresh baked soon!
Here are the pros and cons of Izzi B's
PROS: Allergy friendly! We love that we could eat all the flavors and they take such care to make them healthy by not using food dye, preservatives and additives. Frostings are delicious and creamy and flavorful. They don't have the glue texture of most vegan baked goods. Seasonal ones are my FAVORITE in fact I think they should reevaluate and swap seasonals (cinnamon French toast with maple frosting) in their four pack--with chocolate and raspberry.
CONS: Cupcakes are a little dry. I have to say I think they are over baked. I would LOVE to try them baked 1-2 minutes less. I did not find this with the mini cakes so I think they could just try cooking a few minutes less. Because they are sold frozen and are prepared without additives/preservatives there should be more instruction about how to serve/store. This info should be on package and given to vendors to give to customers.
(I have a new policy of including pros and cons of products. In the past, and certainly in the case of Izzi B's I am SOOOO happy they are making such an allergy friendly product wouldn't want to say anything not nice but by request of readers I am now including pros and cons of products.)

Apartment maintenance man arrested in cell phone theft
Angel Rodriguez, 29, charged with theft
An apartment complex maintenance man was charged with stealing a tenant's brand new cell phone.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, the cell phone came in a package in the mail that was left with the apartment complex manager earlier this month.
When the victim went to retrieve it, the box was missing, the affidavit stated.
Later, the woman determined that someone had activated the phone and was using it, the affidavit stated.
The victim and the apartment manager told police they discovered that the number associated with the phone belonged to Angel Rodriguez, 29, the maintenance man, the affidavit stated.
Rodriguez was arrested Tuesday on a theft charge.

We report here on a series of specimens of charcoalified sorophores with characteristics of the extant fern genus Lygodium (Schizaeaceae) collected from sediments of the Raritan formation (Late Cretaceous). Each elongate lobed fertile pinnule (sorophore) is flattened and bears alternately arranged sporangia on one surface. Each sporangium is covered by an indusium continuous with the margin of the lamina. Sporangia are oblong in shape, short stalked, and have an apical annulus formed by a single ring of radiating cells that dehiscences longitudinally. The 'sporangial cap' or 'distal face' is formed by only one cell. All of these features are characteristic of the extant genus Lygodium. Small numbers of trilete, psilate spores are found in the sporangia. Megafossils assignable to Lygodium are known from the Upper Cretaceous of North America and Germany with worldwide distribution during the Tertiary. The new Lygodium fossils are compared with others previously referred to the genus.

Schools, Vouchers, and the American Public by Terry M. Moe
Schools, Vouchers, and the American Public
by Terry M. Moe
Brookings. 350 pp. $29.95
Wherever vouchers for school children have been put to a vote, they have been defeated. This has prompted the head of the National Education Association, the country's largest teachers' union, to announce that the year 2000 witnessed the "death knell" of the voucher movement.
The defeat was most conspicuous in California. In 1993, less than one-third of California voters in a statewide initiative said yes to school vouchers. According to the proposal's supporters at the time, the trouble was that they had lacked sufficient financing to defeat the stern opposition of the California Teachers Association. But in 2000 essentially the same proposal reappeared on the ballot, this time backed heavily by a wealthy Silicon Valley venture capitalist. More than $30 million was spent on behalf of the initiative, but it went down to the same inglorious defeat.
An initiative in Michigan that would seem to have enjoyed a much greater likelihood of success met a similar fate. This proposal was focused on children in schools that performed poorly, and it had the active support of the Catholic Church, the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, and many black ministers. Its backers also outspent the local teachers' union. But despite these political advantages, less than one-third of the voters said yes. And so, too, with virtually every other such measure promising significant educational reform, including efforts in Colorado, Oregon, and Washington.
Terry Moe, who with John Chubb published an influential 1990 book arguing in favor of parental choice in education, cannot but be upset by the limitations on choice created by this steady defeat of voucher plans. But if so, there is no hint of it in his newest book—a thoughtful, leisurely, and dispassionate review of why voucher plans have failed in public opinion and what might yet make them succeed.
The answer to at least the first of these questions is easily stated: Americans are not libertarians. The economist Milton Friedman deserves universal admiration for having first formulated the basic case for school choice in a famous 1955 essay, but Americans are not enamored of choice alone. "Americans like the public-school system," Moe writes simply and truly.
Indeed, they may like it too much, since they are often willing to ignore studies that show how poorly American students do in international comparisons. But whether or not Americans are shortsighted in this regard, they also have their reasons. They like the idea of children being educated together—it appeals to their democratic instincts—and they think that the state should have some say in regulating what goes on in schools. If a local school system does poorly, they have also developed methods of coping. The wealthy can buy their way into private schools, and the middle class can make school quality an important factor in deciding where to live. As for people without school children, they can ignore the whole issue.
At this point, a libertarian economist might well conclude that Americans are following their own rational self-interest after all. That is true, but only up to a point. Even those Americans whose children do not attend public schools persist in attaching positive social value to them—just as people attach value to the condition of the economy even when they are not themselves worried about employment. Similarly, Americans persist in supporting the public schools even when, as Moe shows, they think private schools do a better job, especially at such matters as racial diversity, social justice, the teaching of morality, and the tolerance of religion. Those least happy with the public schools are poor, inner-city Americans (who also tend to lack the means to do much about their unhappiness); but a lot of Americans who are not poor also worry about the public schools.
Where voucher programs have been put in place, Moe tells us, it has come about in large measure because ordinary politics—not the advertising-driven politics of initiative campaigns—has brought together people with school troubles and people who want to help them. This has been done most conspicuously in Milwaukee, where Polly Williams, a black state legislator determined to help her constituents, teamed up with conservative business and political leaders and the Bradley Foundation to put in place a school-voucher program that now enables many thousands of children to attend religious schools. Wisconsin's highest court has upheld the plan and, in my view, there is a reasonable chance the U.S. Supreme Court will do the same on appeal, even though critics allege that it violates the "establishment of religion" clause of the First Amendment.
As Moe demonstrates, the Milwaukee model has been followed elsewhere. In Cleveland, a Democratic city councilwoman teamed up with a Republican governor to persuade the legislature to approve a voucher plan for low-income, predominantly black children; a federal district judge has struck down the program, but this case, too, appears to be headed to the Supreme Court. In Florida, Governor Jeb Bush successfully enacted a statewide program that gives vouchers to children in "failing schools," though this is on its way as well to the Supreme Court as well. In New Jersey, Bret Schundler, now the Republican candidate for governor, won the mayoralty of Jersey City in part because he backed a voucher program, though his efforts so far have not won state approval.
Most important, in Moe's view, a number of wealthy benefactors have set up voucher programs in several cities that now give scholarships to about 50,000 children. Since the money is private, it is hard to see how the effort can be successfully challenged in court.
One of the most interesting things about these developments is that they mobilize support from constituents of liberal organizations. The NAACP, for example, is opposed to vouchers, but many people who could be (and perhaps are) members of the NAACP support them.
I keenly recall speaking on the subject of vouchers to an Aspen Institute audience composed largely of Democratic members of Congress. They were adamantly opposed. I tried to make the case that no one should be against vouchers without first seeing how they worked, something that the opposition of people like them was making it harder to do. My audience was unimpressed. I then suggested that their own voters were increasingly favoring vouchers; this they dismissed as the consequence of "propaganda."
I think they are wrong, and I think Moe agrees with me. But the problem is not only on their side of the political aisle. Most conservatives and most Republicans have few connections with the inner-city poor. When they endorse vouchers, it is largely on the basis of ideology. Now, ideology is not irrelevant to this matter, but ideology alone will not get the job done, as the votes in statewide initiatives quite clearly show.
Supporters of vouchers often express dismay at the fact that they rarely get any help from Republican leaders who supposedly believe in markets. In California, Republican elites did not back vouchers; in Michigan, Governor John Engler would not endorse them; in the nation's capital, President Bush has not pushed hard for them. These folks may like markets, but they like electoral victories even more, and they know something that academic supporters of vouchers often forget—namely, that the American public, though it says it favors "choice," also likes the public schools, and worries that vouchers may reduce spending on and collective control of those schools. As a politician, you cannot favor vouchers in a way that makes it appear that you want to undo the public-school system.
All of this suggests to Moe—and to me—that a top-down strategy will not work, at least for the most part. It may work for the city of Washington, D.C., where Congress controls local policy and Bill Clinton is no longer in office to veto a congressional effort in that direction. Elsewhere, however, if vouchers are to succeed, the effort must work from the bottom up.
This book should be studied carefully by anyone interested in the fate of vouchers, and especially by anyone who thinks they are a good idea. It is written not as a piece of campaign strategy but as a careful analysis of the views of nearly 5,000 Americans, interviewed in 1995. And it is written by a first-class political scientist who knows how and why the American political system always (and, to me, desirably) makes it hard for the proponents of any new idea to get it accepted.
Moe not only understands the issues; he understands the limits, and the deceptiveness, of opinion polls. Phi Delta Kappa (PDK), the international association of educators, has been publishing survey data about vouchers for decades, but the results have been compromised by how the questions are worded. Nor are conclusions consistent from poll to poll. A 1992 survey by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching suggested that most public-school parents were opposed to vouchers; in the same year, the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) produced polls suggesting that public-school parents favored vouchers, and so did the Gallup organization a few years later. NBC/Wall Street Journal polls have indicated that public support for vouchers is weak. And so it goes. Needless to say, critics of vouchers have embraced the Carnegie and NBC/Wall Street Journal studies, while supporters have embraced the NCEA and Gallup studies.
Moe patiently explains why these polls have come to such different results. As in the case of PDK polls, the main problem resides in the wording of the questions—that, plus the fact that many voters have not thought very much about the issue and thus have no well-considered view. They opine off the top of their heads. He also points out a truth that any supporter of an initiative campaign ought to heed: if your polls show that you are way ahead before the election campaign begins, rest assured that this support will dwindle, and perhaps disappear, as the campaign gets under way. Initiative campaigns seem to have one clear effect: people manage any uncertainty they may have by voting no.
In his own survey, Moe asked questions about vouchers in many different ways and at different points in the interview. His results, I suspect, are thus better than those produced by PDK, the NCEA, or NBC/Wall Street Journal. But are they entirely reliable? He is uncertain, and so am I. Vouchers must first become a big feature of American school politics before people will have settled views on the matter. And that is another reason for supporters to rely on private ventures and bottom-up local campaigns. Although conservatives generally lack the political skills to mobilize poor, inner-city parents, that too can be changed.

A developer or designer? Pick Refresh Cambridge
Posted: April 08, 2014|
Networking events in Cambridge cover such a broad spectrum, in terms of style and content, and I am sometimes reluctant to attend some events that take me so far out of my comfort zone.
For example, there are regular events in the city aimed at gamers, designer and developers which I'm sure provide great support to those more skilful in these areas than I am. However, certain technologies are not my native language and, as a result, I've avoided these groups until now.
It was, therefore, with slight trepidation that I booked to attend Refresh Cambridge last week, who are a community of designers and developers that meet every month and who, according to their website, are "working to refresh the web design and development industry in the Cambridge area".
Refresh Cambridge has been running since 2006 and is organised by Simon Jones and Matthew Pennell from digital agency, Studio 24, who are also a principle sponsor of the event. I first met Simon at last month's Cambridge News Business Excellence Awards, who invited me to attend both the groups he is involved in, one web design, the other aimed at behaviour-driven development in PHP. I know less about PHP than web design, so I opted for the latter and started by asking Simon why he started Refresh Cambridge.
"Refresh is a worldwide movement of groups whose aim is to refresh the creative, technical, and professional culture of the local digital community," he told me. "It started in Dallas and has spread across the world. Refresh Cambridge was started to help share knowledge and network among our peers."
Last week's event, entitled "The Business of Web Design", took place at the Cambridge Brew House on King Street, and was a talk hosted by digital strategist Joel Hughes ahead of this summer's The Business of Web Design Conference in Cardiff (@tboWebDesign).
Joel shared his experiences from setting up as a freelance web designer to the agency he runs today, and was open in the lessons he's learnt over the years. Many of the freelancers at Refresh Cambridge clearly benefited from learning the risks and rewards of setting up as a web designer or developer. In fact, this talk would have benefited most people who were starting out on their own, whatever their industry.
After the talk, there was the chance for everyone to share their knowledge and experiences, with an informal networking session over a free drink or two, courtesy of booking.com.
With many development languages, I asked Simon whether Refresh Cambridge was aimed at any one of them in particular.
"Our primary members are designers or developers," he said, "though we also have people involved in managing projects and other areas. Anyone with an interest in digital is welcome!
"Talks vary between design and user experience focused topics and more technical discussions. Our members are quite diverse which I believe helps get different perspectives on our industry."
Refresh Cambridge run events approximately every two months, with informal pub meetups in-between. Their plan is to get more national speakers – for example, Seb Lee-Delisle is confirmed for the June meet-up. He's a digital artist working on eye-catching projects such as PixelPyros, the first digital interactive fireworks display on tour in England.
Refresh is probably one of the first web technical and design meet-ups in Cambridge, and is pretty well established. From the developers and designers that I spoke to last week, it also appears to be a great platform for anyone involved in the digital industry to share knowledge, experiences, and developments in technology with their peers. Even though the topic is an area I have little experience in, I could easily appreciate the value of the event for those with more. Not only that, but if they continue to attract high profile speakers to the event, I'm sure it will continue to grow too.
:: Ed is spending so much time out networking that he needs someone to run the Cambridge Business Lounge office in Burleigh Street. If you are interested have a look at cambridgebusinesslounge.com/who-we-are/careers

The governor wants more New Mexico students to take Advanced Placement courses.
A new study shows very few students took an AP exam last year. In some school districts, less than 1 percent took an exam.
The governor says her New Mexico Graduates Now program will help to expand access to AP courses to thousands of students.
She's proposing $2.5 million to train more teachers to teach AP classes.
High school students who pass AP exams earn college credit for the corresponding college course - saving students time and money.

A semiconductor layer is irradiated with an intensity-modulated laser emission to induce a modulated optical reflectivity which is a valid measure for the density of the electronic inhomogeneities in the semiconductor layer. The use of a test laser beam having a wavelength in a range of 200-345 nm makes exact measurements possible in the entire range of application and is particularly enabling for identification of low and high implantation doses and the identification of residual damage in crystalline semiconductor layers.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is directed generally to a method for non-destructive identification of electronic inhomogeneities in a semiconductor layer by measuring the modulated optical reflectivity that irradiation of the semiconductor layer with an intensity modulated laser radiation induces in a laser beam of a different wavelength.
2. Description of the Related Art
The need for and the demands made of non-destructive analysis methods for semiconductor layers increase with increasing miniaturization of the structures of semiconductor components. To monitor the individual process steps in the manufacture of semiconductor structures, optical measuring methods are used to identify electronic inhomogeneities that, for example, are produced by faults in the crystal and semiconductor layers or are due to ion implantations.
Optical measuring methods that utilize the effect known as modulated optical reflectivity, or the MOR technique, for identification of electronic inhomogeneities in a semiconductor layer are described in various publications, including Applied Physics Letters, 47 (6), 1985, pages 584-586; Applied Physics Letters 47 (5), 1985, pages 498-500; Journal of Applied Physics 61 (1), 1987, pages 240-248; and in a thesis by S. Wurm at the Technical University of Munich, Physics Department Institute E-13, April 1988. The modulated optical reflectivity technique is also used in commercially available measuring instruments such as the "Therma Probe 200" manufactured by Therma Wave Incorporated (USA).
Generally, the principle of measuring with modulated optical reflectivity will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 through 3. In FIG. 1, a functional block diagram of a measuring installation for identifying modulated optical reflectivity of a test specimen 1 is shown. An argon+ ion laser 10, in the known embodiments, serves for the excitation of the test specimen 1 and, thus, operates as a pump laser. The argon+ laser 10 produces a laser beam having a wavelength of approximately 488 nm at a power of approximately 5 mw, which is directed so that it is incident on the test specimen 1.
An acousto-optical modulator 9 is used to carry out intensity modulation of the argon beam at a prescribed modulation frequency of 1 MHz. The laser beam is focused onto the test specimen 1 using a beam expander 8 and a microscope objective 7.
A second laser 2 which is a helium-neon (HeNe) laser supplies a measuring laser beam of a wavelength of 632.8 nm at a power of between 2 to 3 mW. The helium-neon laser beam passes through a series of optical components, such as a second beam expander 3, a polarizing beam splitter 4, a quarter-wave lamina 5 and, with the assistance of a semi-reflective mirror 6, is coupled in through the microscope objective 7 parallel to the modulated argon+ ion laser beam. The helium-neon beam is incident on the test specimen 1 confocally, i.e. collinearly, with the argon ion beam.
The helium-neon laser beam is reflected back by the test specimen 1 and again passes through the quarter-wave lamina 5 and the polarizing beam splitter 4, which steers the beam through an interface filter 11 onto a photocell 12 with which the test signal is detected. A lock-in amplifier 13 is connected at an output of the photocell 12. The lock-in amplifier 13 uses the modulation frequency (1 MHz.) of the argon+ ion laser beam as a reference frequency and reproduces the amplitude of the specimen reflectivity for the helium-neon laser light periodically modulated with the frequency of 1 MHz as its output voltage. The output voltage is a modulated optical reflectivity signal MOR which is in arbitrary units. The MOR signal is proportional to the modification of the specimen reflectivity ΔR that derives as a difference between the reflectivity, or test signal, R occurring during excitation of the specimen by the pump laser 10 and the normal reflectivity R. occurring without excitation of the specimen by the pump laser 10, i.e. (ΔR=R-R.).
FIG. 2 is a graph of modulated optical reflectivity MOR as a function of implantation does D, also written as R(D). Shown in FIG. 2 is a first curve 14 depicting the dependency of the measured modulated optical reflectivity MOR for the helium-neon laser emission on the implantation dose D of an ion-implanted silicon layer. A second curve 15 on the graph of FIG. 2 is a plot of the calculated R(D) behavior obtained from a theoretical model. The illustrations of FIG. 2 are taken from the thesis by S. Wurm in which experimental work and theoretical considerations are set forth in greater detail.
In FIG. 3, a curve 16 shows the dependency of the measured modulated optical reflectivity MOR for the helium-neon laser emission as a function of thickness d of an amorphous silicon layer, in other words R(d). Test specimens of different thicknesses d were produced for the measurement by ion implantation of silicon+ ions in crystal and silicon (100-material), whereby a constant implantation dose D of 1�1015 ion/cm-2 was observed and the implantation energy was varied. A second curve 17 on the graph of FIG. 3 reproduces the behavior obtained from a theoretical model for calculated values of R(D). Again, the illustrations of FIG. 3 are taken from the thesis of S. Wurm.
Identification of implantation doses in semiconductor layers by measuring the modulated optical reflectivity MOR with methods set forth above are suitable in a range of low implantation doses from about 1010 cm-2 through 1013 cm-2. In a range of high doses, above 1015 cm-2, such as occur, for example, in source-drain implantations, an amorphous layer whose thickness depends both on the dose as well as on the implantation energy arises in the semiconductor surface. A layer system having different optical properties is thus present. No unambiguous allocation of the test signal to the implantation dose D is possible as a result of the interference effects due to reflection of the test laser beam in different layers. The test signal R is dependent on the layer thickness d of the implanted semiconductor layer, i.e. on the selected implantation energy, and thereby exhibits an oscillatory curve as shown in FIG. 3.
The implantation monitoring for a region of moderate implantation doses of from about 1013 cm-2 through 1014 cm-2 can be performed with film resistance measurements using contact probes. Up till now, though, there has been no alternative test procedures that can provide precise measured values for the range of high implantation doses.
An unambiguous allocation between the height of the test signal and the density of the faults is likewise not possible given use of the method for identifying residual damages, such as crystal faults, and crystalline semiconductor layers, since the test signal is dependent on the depth at which faults are situated in the semiconductor layer.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for non-destructive identification of electronic inhomogeneities in semiconductor layer with which the density of electronic inhomogeneities can be exactly identified. In particular, the present method is suitable for monitoring implantation in a region of high implantation doses, such as above 1015 cm-2.
This and other objects of the invention are achieved by a method in which a laser emission having a wavelength in a range of from 200 through 345 nm is measured for the modulated optical reflectivity as a measure of the density of the electronic inhomogeneities.
A helium-neon (HeNe) laser beam has a wavelength of 632.8 nm and has a relatively great penetration depth into the semiconductor material because of its low absorption coefficient which is, for example, approximately 2000 nm in silicon. The penetration depth of a measuring laser beam into the silicon layer is greatly reduced when a laser emission in the wavelength of 200 through 345 nm is used, the penetration depth being approximately 10 nm in silicon at this range. This is true for the standard semiconductor materials such as, for example, silicon, germanium, gallium arsenide, gallium antimonide and indium phosphide which exhibits a great absorptivity at this wavelength. Contrary to the known methods, interference from the radiation of the measuring laser beam reflected from different depths of the semiconductor layer does not occur, so that an unambiguous relationship between the test signal and the density of the electronic inhomogeneities is obtained. It is thus possible to identify the electronic inhomogeneities present in the semiconductor layer with the method of the invention by measurement in the surface region of the semiconductor layer that is influenced by the electronic inhomogeneities.
Further developments and improvements of the invention include focusing the laser beam to be reflected so that a test spot having a diameter of approximately 0.5 through 5 micrometers arises in the semiconductor layer for the implementation of the topically resolved measurements. The present method can be also used for identification of the implantation dose in the semiconductor layers. In particular, it is useful for identifying the implantation dose in silicon layers. The method can be used to identify residual damage in crystalline semiconductor layers and in particular in silicon layers.
FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of an arrangement for measuring modulated optical reflectivity which illustrates the known method as well as the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a graph showing the dependency of the modulated optical reflectivity on implantation dose;
FIG. 3 is a graph showing the dependency of the modulated optical reflectivity on the thickness of a silicon layer; and
FIG. 4 is a graph showing the dependency of the modulated optical reflectivity on the thickness of the layer for the present method.
The measuring installation shown in FIG. 1 and described above is used as an exemplary embodiment for teaching the method of the present invention, where the following parameters are true. The pump laser 10 is an argon+ ion laser having a wavelength of 488 nm and operating at a power of 5 mw. The test laser 2 is a helium-cadmium laser operating at a wavelength of 325 nm at a power of 8 mw. In an exemplary embodiment, the helium-cadmium laser is of a type multi-mode 356 XM, Omnichrom (Laser 200 Company, Munich). The microscope objective 7 is set so that the diameter of the test point on the specimen 1 is 1 micrometer and the penetration depth is 10 nm. The specimen 1 in the example is an implanted silicon layer with an implantation dose above approximately 1015 ions cm-2.
In FIG. 4 is shown a graph of the anticipated dependency of the test signal of the modulated optical reflectivity MOR for the helium-cadmium laser emission over thickness d of the implanted silicon layer. The curve is calculated on the basis of the basic theoretical equations which are known in the prior art, for example, from the thesis of S. Wurm, whereby an amorphous silicon layer generated on a silicon substrate by ion-implantation with silicon+ ions is utilized as the implanted silicon layer.
No interference effects whatsoever for thicknesses of greater that 20 nm are anticipated for the helium-cadmium laser emission due to the high co-efficient of absorption in silicon and in the ion-implanted silicon layer. The relationship between the modulated optical reflectivity R and the thickness d of the amorphous silicon layer shows an unambiguous allocation between the test signal and the implantation dose or implantation energy.
The method of the present invention is used for the entire, standard range of implantation doses and, in particular, is employed for structured semiconductor wafers. Given a test spot on the order of magnitude of 1 micrometer, the method of the invention is used for the implementation of topically resolved measurements.
The method of the invention is used for the analysis of any and all semiconductor layers wherein electronic inhomogeneities are present in characteristic fashion.
In addition to the use of the method for identifying implantation doses of semiconductor layers, the invention is particularly useful for identification of residual damage in crystalline semiconductor layers such as crystalline silicon layers.
Although other modifications and changes may be suggested by those skilled in the art, it is the intention of the inventors to embody within the patent warranted hereon all changes and modifications as reasonably and properly come within the scope of their contribution to the art.

Grant Traylor: Wagner, de Jonge treat Virginia Tech fans to good play
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -- There was plenty of burgundy and orange filing through the grounds Thursday during the first round of The Greenbrier Classic.
All the contingent of Virginia Tech Hokies backers were left smiling as well after their alums -- Johnson Wagner and Brendon de Jonge -- finished high on the leaderboard.
"These are guys that we've watched growing up while they were in college," said Bob Hayes of Radford, Va. "It's pretty fun to see them out here, especially with The Greenbrier only an hour and a half away."
Hayes was one of a multitude of fans running around with VT gear on or even stickers that said "Johnson Wagner" on them.
Wagner, the 33-year-old native of Charlotte, N.C., gave his fans plenty to cheer about.
He is tied for the lead after firing an 8-under-par 62. The round came despite Wagner shooting par over each of the last six holes -- considered some of the scoring holes on the par-70 Old White TPC course.
Wagner started out hot, collecting birdies on four holes in a five-hole stretch on the front nine. The stretch helped Wagner to a 29 on the front, his best on the PGA Tour.
The momentum continued as his round was punctuated on No. 12 when he chipped in for eagle on the par-5. However, he leveled out a bit over his last six holes, missing several birdie opportunities, including a 10-foot putt at 16.
His low start generated thoughts of a 59 -- the number Stuart Appleby shot at The Greenbrier in 2010.
"(I birdied No. 9 for 29 -- maybe my first competitive 29 on the PGA Tour, which was cool," Wagner said. "Then the 59 thought started creeping in. (I) blocked it out for a few holes and birdied 11, chipped in for eagle on 12, and then the 59 thoughts really got in my mind...
"I've been disappointed with 72s and 79s last month, so I'm very happy to be disappointed with a 62 today."
While much of the talk was about Wagner's play, some was about his clean-shaven face after he ridded himself of an, ahem, unique mustache.
Wagner laughed off the talk of the mustache.
"I mean, it will definitely come back at some point," Wagner said. "I love irritating my wife too much with it to let it go for too long."
Wagner said he noted the Virginia Tech fans in the crowd, and said the round was a blast with the support he had.
"When I'm playing well, I want everybody that I know to be out following me," Wagner said. "I love putting on a good show for my family and friends."
In addition to Wagner, de Jonge also had a quality round, firing a 66 to put himself in the thick of contention.
For de Jonge, it was consistency that paved the way. He hit 13 of 14 fairways in the afternoon and 15 of 18 greens en route to his round of 4-under.
Wagner said the sense of school pride made it a special day.
"It's great," Wagner said. "For years, I've wanted to be paired with him (de Jonge) Saturday and Sunday when it mattered. We've been close a couple of times, but it would be cool for us to be fighting it out coming down the stretch."
CLASSIC PATRIOTISM: With Thursday being the Fourth of July, there were several symbols to celebrate America's birthday.
In addition to John Daly's "stars and stripes" pants from his Loudmouth brand apparel sponsor, the tourney's first day also featured an American flag as the 18th hole flag and military personnel who served as the marshals for the hole.
WALK IN THE PARK: Jin Park started his day by holing out from 50 feet on No. 1. Park later rode the momentum to a 6-under 64. It was Park's low round of the year.

Your horse needs more basic training. You shouldn't have to ride out your horse's bucks. It's up to you to do more training. Your horse is telling you if he is nervous about being ridden. NO horse will just throw you "out of the blue" without signaling first. Think about what sets him off. I would take him back several steps in his training and solidify his ground behavior and his behavior under saddle before you mount. It makes you smarter to look back at your friend's injuries and realize that you don't have to end up hurt by your own horse.
Look into ground training. It's always better for a fresh horse to buck on the lunge and get under your control that way, than to wonder when he's going to act up.
Oh, I thought I stated that when he's being lunged he bucks cause he's fresh? He hasn't bucked under saddle in well over 8 months, and that was my error.
This is just a thread of me being paranoid that something will happen because "bad things come in threes" and horses are unpredictable. I haven't really had any problems with this horse under saddle that wasn't corrected with some leg.
Other horses however...

Of bacon, bugs and broken wind
If you have a sore throat, forget about cough drops.
According to "Everybody's Pocket Cyclopedia," the best course of action is to cut slices of fat boneless bacon, pepper it heavily and tie it around your throat with a flannel cloth.
This is only one of several household solutions this book recommends in its more than 250 pages of tiny text. And if the sore throat treatment above sounds quirky, maybe that's because the book is about 100 years old.
My grandfather, who I call Bump, found the book recently. Knowing what a history buff I am, he passed it along. The book belonged to Bump's dad who, like Bump, grew up on the South Side of Harbour Grace, Newfoundland. It was a rugged place with rugged people who worked hard to survive in trades like fishing and carpentry. You might imagine that school, beyond the basics of "reading, writing and figuring," as Bump puts it, wasn't a huge priority.
That's why the info in this little book was quite important in 1909. Still, it's quite entertaining in 2009.
For instance, baldness was considered not necessarily hereditary, but usually a result of overwork and worry, or bad health. The book recommends you use Cantharides to stimulate hair growth.
"Now what's a Cantharide?," I asked myself. According to antiquebottles.com, it's a homeopathic medication composed of "dried beetle Cantharis vesicatoria," known usually as the Spanish Fly. It would act as a counter-irritant and, if taken internally, cause sexual arousal. Of course, it could also make your skin red and cause kidney failure. But hey, at least you'd be hairy and aroused.
Here's my favorite. According to this book, flatulence occurs most frequently in women, particularly those who drink a lot of tea. Sugar is a no-no. (If the social clubs only knew.)
But lest you think this book is nothing but household remedies, there's a list of the 116 greatest men in the world. Among them: Darwin, Beethoven and Homer (not Simpson or Winslow).
Where are the women? Remember, it's 100 years ago.
About 15 years before the "Monkey Trial," in which John Scopes defended his right to teach evolution at his high school, this book touches on that controversial subject: "Science includes man with lemurs, monkeys, and apes in the order Primates, but man is not in direct descent from the ape. Each is the descendant of common mammalian ancestors, tree-dwellers in torrid zones in Tertiary times. From these ancestors man and ape branched off in different directions, man reaching the topmost place."
I'll go out on a limb (no pun intended) and guess that that common ancestor looked something like George Burns.
There are maps, historical timelines, geographic info and quotations worth remembering, along with meanings of names and a chapter called "Love, Marriage & Etiquette."
In this chapter, you'll find a list of how much a woman should weigh according to height. Women were ideally 100 pounds at 5 feet, 119 pounds at 5 feet 3 inches, 144 pounds at 5 feet 6 inches and at 6 feet they were 180 pounds. Ah, the days before the glamor of stick figure models!
There's also a chart showing a woman's chance of marrying as she gets older. Between the ages of 15 and 20 it was 17.5 percent, between 20 and 25 it was 41.25 percent, and between 25 and 30 it was 24.5 percent.
If you wait until after 30, your chances of being a lonely spinster are big. The likelihood of marriage, according to the book, drops to 8 percent between age 30 and 35, then 4 percent between 35 and 40, 2 percent between 40 and 45, 1.25 percent between 45 and 50, a whopping one chance in a thousand if you're older than 55.
Further chapters touch on sports and science, and you can also brush up on your arithmetic, business, sign language and medical skills (pass the bacon).
Among a list of historic events is that soap was first manufactured in England in the 1500s and that a Dr. Tanner in New York lived 40 days on nothing but water in 1880, losing 36 pounds. We don't know whether he lived to see the 41st day.
I was amazed to read one event stating that the first photograph was produced in England in 1802. Since I always figured it was more like 1826, I furrowed my brow and checked online. According to Wikipedia, Thomas Wedgwood did indeed produce the world's first photograph, but since he had no way to fix it, it quickly faded.
It's nice to know that with 100 years of information that has come along since this book was published, you can still learn a lot from it.
My mother suffers from atypical trigeminal neuralgia, a nerve condition that causes continued headaches and face pain. She's tried many solutions, including surgeries and a trip in vain to the Mayo Clinic. This book actually recommends some treatments for her condition, though, and includes advertisements for neuralgia-battling medications.
One of those medications is called "Zox." For all I know it involves bug carcasses and makes you hairy and horny, but who knows? Maybe it's worth a try.

You can't have a sustainable society if women are having children they don't want. This video from the Guttmacher Institute looks at who's having abortions in America.
As of yesterday, new and renewed private insurance plans will now have to cover contraception, according to a ruling from the Department of Health and Human Services. Given that population reduction is one of the best things we can do for the planet, this is awesome news -- it removes the biggest financial barrier to people having only the number of kids they want and no more (or having no kids at all).
Women will no longer have to make co-pays on birth control, the Obama administration announced on Aug. 1.
The anti-gay-marriage pledge being pushed by a right-wing Iowa group has made headlines, but we haven't heard much about its call for "robust childbearing."
Contraception has long been the province of women. Isn't it about time for men to get in on the game? These days men have a lot more at stake than they used to.
A New York Times article about the current drought in the South compares it to a record-setting dry spell 60 years ago: Climatologists say the great drought of 2011 is starting to look a lot like the one that hit the nation in the early to mid-1950s. That, too, dried a broad part of the southern tier of states into leather and remains a record breaker. But this time, things are different in the drought belt. With states and towns short on cash and unemployment still high, the stress on the land and the people who rely on it for a living is being amplified by political and economic forces, state and local officials say. As a result, this drought is likely to have the cultural impact of the great 1930s drought, which hammered an already weakened nation. But it's not just the economy that's worse now than it was in the 1950s. Water usage is also way, way up. This drought rivals the record-setting 1950s drought -- it's already breaking records in some states -- but it comes at a time when the population is double what it was in 1950, and total water use is more than twice as high.
If you like lewd, crude overpopulation humor, Doug Stanhope is your man.
Who knew feminist Gloria Steinem was such a environmentalist? On ABC News, she talks about climate change, population, ecofeminism, and deep ecology.
India has a massive and worsening overpopulation problem -- the country has added 181 million people in the last 10 years. So health officials in the state of Rajasthan are trying to lure people into voluntary sterilization by taking advantage of one of humankind's biggest weaknesses: expensive sh*t. In a three-month program that they hope will attract 30,000 eager non-breeders, officials are offering cars, motorcycles, televisions, cash, and other incentives for people to put their junk under the knife.

Update models from previous releases
seupdate('sys', 0)
seupdate('sys') updates
a SimEvents® model that was created in a previous release to the
current release.
This function replaces blocks in your model from previous versions of the SimEvents library with their latest version, without changing configured parameter values. If the model has associated custom libraries, the function also updates blocks in those custom libraries. The function inserts gateway blocks where a time-based signal feeds an event-based block, or where an event-based signal feeds a time-based block. If the model is not already open when you run this function, the software opens it to perform the update.
The function overwrites the model it is updating. Before beginning the update, the function completely backs up the model and associated custom libraries. The software stores this backup in a new folder, in the same directory as the model. The new folder uses the naming convention seupdate_for_sys.
When you run the
seupdate function, the
software provides a summary of the model and libraries it is preparing
to update. The software then prompts if you are ready to proceed with
the update. Enter one of the following responses:
Overwrite the model and associated libraries.
Cancel the operation. No changes are made to the model and associated libraries.
In the SimEvents documentation,
learn how the
seupdate function changes your
seupdate('sys', 0) updates
the model and referenced library components without prompting you.
Specify the name of the model to update.
Default: None
Use the
seupdate function
to migrate all blocks in a model to the latest version in the SimEvents library.
Run the
seupdate function for the
model that you want to migrate.
Review the items under the heading
Before you
udpate your model: and enter a value at the prompt.
Update model 'ex_signalbasedevents_plots'? ([y]/n/help):y
The first update step checks your model file format. If either the model or any associated library files are not in the newer SLX file format (that is, they are in the older MDL format), the software prompts you to ask if you want to save the updated model in the newer format. If your model is already in the SLX format, you do not see this prompt.
When you answer the file format prompt, the update process continues.
Review the report that the migration utility generates.
In this example, the model updates successfully.
The behavior of queue blocks changed in SimEvents version 4.0 (R2011b). If
the model that you want to migrate contains legacy queue blocks, the
updated queue blocks might produce different results when you simulate
the updated model. If the
seupdate function detects
that your model contains legacy queue blocks, you might see additional
output in the MATLAB® command
window. This additional output has information on how the behavior
of queue blocks has changed from previous versions of the software.
The output also provides instructions to check for potential results
changes from queue blocks in the updated model before you proceed
with the migration.
Run the
seupdate function for the
model that you want to migrate.
If your model contains any legacy queue blocks that have
the #n output enabled, the
seupdate function
displays the additional output that is highlighted in the graphic.
Review the report that the migration utility generates.
In this example, the model updates successfully.
If you proceed with migrating your model using
but want to check your original model for queue blocks that produce
different results in the updated version, use the backup copy of the
original model that the
seupdate function creates
prior to migrating the model. The software stores the backup in a
new folder, in the same directory as the model. The new folder uses
the naming convention seupdate_for_sys.

May I introduce an eco-green, organic, chemical-free and cruelty-free inspect repellent, Tick Tock Naturals™ Organic Insect Repellent? This organic insect repellent brand has been featured in two leading travel resources – Fodor's Travel Blog and National Geographic Traveler for their Must-Have Gear-Guide 2013. Tick Tock Naturals™ Organic Insect Repellent has been recognized as Cruelty-Free and Safe by the Humane Society of USA. The repellent is safe for you, your children and your pets. It is chemical-free and made of certified organic ingredients. Plus, their 2.5 Fl Oz bottle meets TSA regulations for carry-on luggage requirements.
Tick Tock Naturals™ Organic Insect Repellent's mission is to prevent insect vector diseases whenever and wherever possible. They make eco-green products that bugs LOVE to hate. A portion of each bottle sale goes to Lyme Research Alliance for funding in research, education of Lyme Disease and Chronic Lyme Disease. Tick Tock Naturals™ Organic Insect Repellent is made of 100% certified organic essential oils and ingredients. It is also 100% cruelty-free and 100% recyclable/reusable.
available in
Two different sizes, 2.5 Fl Oz and 4 Fl Oz. They have a gift set that includes one 4 oz bottle, one 2.5 oz bottle and three stick sprays. 2.5 Fl Oz Bottle meets TSA regulations for carry-on luggage requirements.
where to buy
They are available at their online store at ticktocknaturals.com or via Amazon.com
my verdict
I received a TSA Approved bottle (2.5 Fl Oz) and took this product with us on various trips for two months, Phuket and Fiji. I was a target for mosquitoes, even little bugs…I wish I can show photos of my massive mosquito bites, but these are unappetizing to reveal. Last year, I tried to find natural and Deet-Free repellents, but some ended up with a strong lemon grass smell, didn't last very long or ended up with 1-2 bites, and I ended up staying in.
With Tick Tock Naturals™ Organic Insect Repellent, it worked very well on me due to its high amount of organic lemongrass oil. I applied once onto my legs, arms, even my ankles since I wear sandals all the time in Fiji and Phuket (especially after applying a sunblock) and I felt safe with this repellent. The smell of organic lemongrass oil is minimal and I'm glad it didn't smell so strong. Tick Tock Naturals™ did not leave any residue on my skin nor made my skin greasy at all. Note, I have very sensitive skin. The bottle is 100% recyclable and reusable. It did not leak nor got damaged during my bumpy international flights since some spray bottles tend to. What a convenient travel size bottle and it is perfect for use on the go! The travel bottle lasted long, up to 2 months of travels if used daily.
Active Ingredients
Lemongrass oil, Eugenol
Inactive Ingredients
Grape seed oil.
CAUTIONS: This product is for external use only. Do not swallow or spray into eyes/face. Adult supervision is required with children. This product is not intended for use during pregnancy. Look for their soon to be introduced Pregnancy Friendly Version later on.
This item(s) was kindly sent to me to review by Tick Tock Naturals™. All products that are mentioned and reviewed here on my vegan blog are of my own personal opinions and I am not being compensated to review them, only just to share my thoughts. If I receive a product complimentary of the company, it will be stated so in the post, otherwise, all products are purchased myself for my own personal use.

Rarely---if I felt bad every time I've been blocked I'd spend the whole day deprerssed
Amazing anyone would block you, such a wise, wonderful person.
True. LOL
I do not care at all,in no time you dont even remember the ones that blocked you.
Only if I was blocked by a friend.

I don't give strangers the power to influence my mood.
It used to bother me a lot but not so much anymore my true friends will always be here....
Like others have said, only if blocked by friends. That hasn't happened (knock wood) yet. I might wonder about others if we've never spoken, but I've stopped taking that to heart, too.
No, I don't, but the first time I realized that a friend had blocked me, I was upset by it. Now, I just don't care.
Yes. Rejection without explanation is insulting. I don't care how may total strangers block me. I figure they don't like my responses to someone or something like that, but I've never had a friend do it before, or since.
I'm shocked that anyone lucky enough to be one of your friends would do that. :(
I will never understand why some people have to be that way...
Your welcome :)
I would totally freak out if I ever got blocked. I take everything personally! Bad habit.
No, because I'm blocked by people who can't handle a discussion of differences. I only block them when they become rude and nasty. Who needs immature people who can't handle themselves well?
well i'd still like to know why , but sometimes you just don't know why , and life goes onward
Generally speaking I find out I have been blocked for no reason by people I don't know. It amuses me.
Not really, i guess just a little.
Nope. I usually wonder why though, as I have been blocked by people I haven't even replied to.
ive never blocked anyone. theres too many people to care if anyone blocks me but i would be curious why
tim the knickers man I have blocked you

I have blocked some and they have asked one of their friends could I unblock them
No I wouldn't care.
Exactly! Me in a nutshell. :-)
EP has blocked my account from asking questions but I havnt lost any sleep over it
not sure if it was the political questions are the mature questions that caused this, probably the political stuff about our great leader
but, why????
Is that "EP Jail" ?
The first couple of times it happened it confused me, and I couldnt understand why anyone would stoop to this level. Then I accepted it, and it doesnt matter now. The last person who blocked me actually came as a relief because all he kept doing was make accusations at me.
Of course, but a very childish way to go about things. To block someone because you dont like their opinions or thoughts. But yeah its their call. Guess they are allowed to throw tantrums in anonimity. :))
Why didn't you block him first?
@Serenitree.. I dont really believe in blocking.. he was on the one hand asking for friendship but on the other making conditions and subtle accusations because of his past experiences... it just became tiring. I dont think I would ever have blocked, but would have let the conversations fade because I wasnt going to defend myself anymore to someone who seeked my friendship in the first place.
@hardingphil.... thank you.
Lol.. I thought so, but didnt want to make an *** out of myself assuming, and turned out Phil was some character somewhere. :D ... Hi Phil. Thanks for being so kind and understanding.
I do not give a ****!
I have not blocked anyone yet and probably never will.

Blotter: Woman assaults employee while attempting to shoplift Lunchable
HUNTINGTON -- The following information was provided by reports filed by the Huntington Police Department:
ASSAULT: A Rite-Aid employee reported a woman came into the store on 16th Street at about 6:14 p.m. Thursday and concealed a Lunchable in her pants. When the employee asked her to remove it, the woman became combative and struck the employee several times in the face before leaving the store. The Lunchable was recovered.
RECEIVING/TRANSFERRING STOLEN PROPERTY: Officers responded to the 1000 block of Washington Avenue for a man slumped over the wheel of a red Jeep Wrangler just after 11 a.m. Thursday.
Officers say they awoke James Allen Thompson, 25, of Huntington, and found a clear baggie on his lap that appeared to contain marijuana. He was removed from the car and arrested.
Further investigation revealed the vehicle was reported stolen by Milton Police on Tuesday.
At police headquarters, Thompson told officers he was wanted by U.S. Marshals. He was charged with being a fugitive from justice, felony receiving/transferring stolen auto and possession of a controlled substance. Bond was $15,000.
BREAKING AND ENTERING AUTO: A woman reported someone broke a window out of her rental car while it was parked in the 1000 block of 6th Street early Thursday morning and stole a camera, sunglasses, cell phone and bag of clothes. The estimated loss is $1,600.
FRAUD: A woman reported she received two fraudulent checks from a secret shopper company she found online and agreed to work for. The woman said she received a $2,195 check to start working and cashed it on June 2 at a local bank. The bank called her and told her it was fraudulent three days later. The woman said she received another check the same day for $1,154 and did not attempt to cash it.
The following information was provided by booking records from the Western Regional Jail:
Clifford Willis Vanperson, 27, was incarcerated at 11:40 p.m. Friday. Authorities in Cabell County arrested him on a bench warrant. Bond was denied.
Jodon Ellis Toney, 27, was incarcerated Thursday. Authorities in Lincoln County charged him with two counts of felony possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. Bond was denied pending arraignment.

Katrina Miller, 33, was incarcerated Thursday. Authorities in Lincoln County charged her with a mix of felony and misdemeanor charges, all unspecified. Bond was $50,000.

Courtney, I've been reading your newsletter/blog for not very long (wish I'd discovered it sooner). I want to tell you how much I enjoy it. It is SHORT, CLEAR, always has something useful to say. I know you're basically trying to sell me something, but I don't mind at all when it comes so nicely framed. And I DO buy things from time to time. In short, I think you're doing an excellent job for your organization. Yours is one of the very few periodic newsletters I actually take the time to read through, because its quality is so consistently good. Thank you!

Favorite food-related memoirs? (And ones to avoid)
I love food-related memoirs (note: not cookbooks). I can eat vicariously (and calorie free!) through the experiences of others and garner non-cookbook inspiration. Examples include Anthony Bourdain, Ruth Reichl's trifecta, and Jacques Pepin.
But not every food memoir is great (e.g. The Man Who Ate Everything by Jeffrey Steingarten), so please share your recommendations AND the ones to avoid. No need to suggest Eat, Pray, Love or Julie & Julia.
I'm cool with food fiction recommendations too.
