Chetan Bhagat, who turns screenplay-writer with "Kick", is upset with reports claiming that Salman Khan has "rejected" the script written by him. The author says he hasn't even met the actor for the film.
The rumour around the Sajid Nadiadwala's production and debut directorial has left Bhagat baffled.
"I haven't even met Salman at all on 'Kick'! The script is not done yet. I am working with only Sajid Nadiadwala and his team on the script," said Bhagat.
Nadiadwala starts shooting for "Kick" from June 1 as various components of this posh actioner have begun to fall in place. The script which needs to make a noted departure from the original 2009 Telugu film is under progress.
He also said it was best if Nadiadwala clarified the issue.
A source close to the project divulged that Salman is in a completely non-interfering mode.
"He is maintaining a hands-free attitude to 'Kick'. It is true that nowadays Salman approves of every department in his starrer - from script to director to cameraman to co-star, before a project takes off. But 'Kick' is entirely his buddy Sajid Nadiadwala's baby and Salman is treating it that way," said a source.

text: The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have been getting a rare bout of bad publicity. First, the Los Angeles Times published a two-part series questioning the foundation's investments in companies accused of social irresponsibility. The culpability of the foundation around such a tricky issue as socially responsible investing was by no means made clear by the pieces, but they were picked up by The Seattle Times and played on its front pages. Much more damning, though, was a prominent mention by the always excellent Katherine Boo in last week's New Yorker. Boo wrote about a public high school in Denver judged to be so bad by a new, reformist superintendent that he closed it down. That was after the Gates Foundation bankrolled a transformation of the school into several small schools within schools-the model that the foundation has been pushing across the country. As we wrote last year in regards to Mountlake Terrace High School, that model is proving problematic, and in Denver it seems to have been judged an utter and complete failure.

In between your shifts serving in soup kitchens and snatching up gifts for the needy family you adopted, really-take some time to treat yourself to one of these many live musical experiences this holiday weekend!
Tonight! Friday, December 21
Friday, December 21
Red Elvises, Tractor Tavern.
The Russian (but Venice Beach-based) rock and rollers the Red Elvises kick of a two night stand at the Tractor Tavern! They may be schticky, but they're also pretty. . schticky. $15, 9 p.m.
Ma'Chell Duma Lavassar says the Shackles Ruben Mendez has super-human abilities in this week's Short List:
On the outside he presents an unassuming, demurely well-dressed façade. No Joe Shmoe on the street would guess he has the power to, in one yelp, instantaneously rock the party, and a Midas touch that instead of turning things gold, makes them super cool.
Come see for yourself at the Jewelbox Theater, 10:30 p.m. $5.
Strong Killings' Nate Mooter, Comet Tavern.
Kay Kay AHWU spin off Wild Orchid Children help the Comet celebrate the first edition of the bar's X-mas bash along with the very rocking Strong Killings who count colorful guitarist Nate Mooter (of the Lashes and Kay Kay) among their main members which always takes boring out of the equation. They also make a habit of reviewing their own shows. Here's a band-penned excerpt from a June 21st outing:
First off I'd like to just say that Strong Killings were one of the best bands of the evening, commanding a noisome presence, and totally whooping ass except for that one part i fucked up.We walked our equipment the two blocks from our beautiful practice space to the Comet. Load in was action packed. I changed out of my short shorts into a really cute outfit in the gross comet bathroom, and laughed at the Dwarven Glory Hole (it's like 2 feet off the ground). Then we did something else but i don't remember. Oh wait, we started drinking.
Expect some of the same (especially the drinking part) tonight.
Saturday! December 22

Aqueduct Dave, Chop Suey.
Chop Suey celebrates the holidays with Aqueduct and that other band with a long name and a lot of members mentioned above. Jolly, jovial, joyous. There will be no shortage of congratulatory grins on stage tonight. 8 p.m. $10 adv.
OMG! Duff from G N EFFEN R! He plays with his band Loaded at the Sunset. Brian J. Barr says:
They play straight-forward hard rock with topics and lyrics that some would label cliché. It's hard-driving music that guys with fast cars would listen to.
He also predicts the Sunset will sell out. Get there earls. 9 p.m.
Blue Scholars get with the Program, Neumo's.
"The Program? Why did we do the Program? It's five days of hip-hop in the town. Hella local and regional artists. It's a good idea. Why not do it?" is what Blue Scholars' DJ Sabzi said about their five night Scholar-curated hip-hop extravaganza. Tonight marks the finale with Blue Scholars, Ohmega Watts, Cancer Rising, The Physics, DJ Bless One at Neumo's, 8 p.m. $15 adv.

This is all I've got:
Spencer Moody, AKA DJ Fat Buddy Holly, Chop Suey
Noble Destiny: Holiday Dance Party with DJ Fat Buddy Holly aka Spencer Moody, Sam Rousso Soundsystem (Ruff Gemz), Kendra Is Magic, Rezound
Spencer Moody sure knows how to spread some holiday cheer. From the giant illuminated nativity scene window display in his junk/home accoutrements shop the Anne Bonny to donating his lap as a red-headed Jolly Old St. Nick at the Cha Cha Christmas party (sporting his own beard), there's no shortage of spirit. Tonight he continues, contributing his crate of gems to Noble Destiny, a "Holiday Dance Party" as DJ Fat Buddy Holly. Moody, whose live performances as a musician tend to lean towards the noise, rock and sometimes screaming variety, won't get into specifics, but promises that tonight, "Everyone who comes will hear their very favorite music. And that's a guarantee. It's not a money back guarantee, but it's a guarantee." Between he, local favorite Sam Rousso Soundsystem (of the popular, recently-defunct club night Ruff Gemz), Kendra is Magic of Dreamburger and NYC-based Rezound, it's a guarantee that will likely be made good. Chop Suey, 9 p.m., $5. AJA PECKNOLD

The Blue Moon Taverns hosts the wacky antics of the 4th Annual Blowdog and Sneezy Christmas Pageant and Midnight Mass with members of the Hopscotch Boys and a Gun That Shoots Knives, which the tavern describes as "a bizarre event featuring music by members of the aforementioned bands as well as puppets, ukulele playing female Santas, and a DJ spinning country Christmas music."
Tuesday! December 25

Miss Duma Lavassar put it best:
Depandable Services Save Christmas, JewelBox/Rendezvous
2nd Annual Casual Industrees X-Mas Party La Pajama with Mob Law, Special Guests, DJ Radem @ Neumo's
These shows sound fine, but let's face facts, if you were raised in an even vaguely Christian household, Christmas at the bar is depressing. You and everyone else is there because you have no place to go or your relatives are so fucked you have spend the night drinking to erase the evening's family festivities. Countless cocktails later you'll just be drunk, depressed and still skeeved out by the uncle who hugs you a little too long. You know the hip "old" guy where you work, (he wears Sonic Youth t-shirts under his button down) score an invitation to his house. His cool wife will cook, the conversation, music and wine will flow, and his cute, but not too cute kids, will infect you with genuine, unbridled Christmas enthusiasm. You'll awake on December 26, feeling positively decent and not awkwardly under the arm of some stranger whose even sadder than you.

If you haven't yet read "Just Kids," by Patti Smith, do. This memoir by the "godmother of punk" chronicles her early days in New York, her complicated but tender relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe, and her twisty-turny career — first as a bookshop clerk, later as a rock star, always as an artist. Her writing, at once doily-delicate and wrecking-ball devastating, earned a National Book Award.
Much of the action takes place in and around the Chelsea Hotel, a storied residential hotel on New York's West 23rd Street. In its heyday, it housed the likes of Allen Ginsberg, Charles Bukow- ski and Alice Cooper.
I never lived there. But for many years, I walked past the hotel twice a day, going to and from work. And I'd occasionally stop in next door at El Quijote, a tawdry but lovable Spanish restaurant. El Quijote, known more for its lost-in-time atmosphere than its passable food, serves lots of lobster and paella, but the best dish I ever had there was "Shrimps Quijote," a scampi-like tumble of shrimp in a tangy green sauce.
I called El Quijote to ask if they'd share the recipe. A guy answered. I asked. He laughed. Then he said, "thank you," then "bye-bye." I called back and asked if the recipe was secret. He said no. I asked if he could send it to me. He said no. I asked if he could read it to me. He said no. "Bye-bye."
I quickly caved. The "bye-bye" carried a karmic finality. A reminder that some culinary mysteries — like the green sauce at El Quijote — aren't meant to be solved. I'd have to look elsewhere for a stand-in.
Google-google gumdrops: I found this recipe from Mark Bittman.
Shrimp in Green Sauce
Recipe by Mark Bittman, from The New York Times, Feb. 17, 2009. Available at nytimes.com. He writes, "You'll make far more broth than you need here, and it's worth saving, because it's wonderful as part of the liquid used when making risotto or fish stews." Makes 4 servings.
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 scallions, trimmed and chopped
1 cup parsley, leaves and thin stems
2 pounds shrimp, peeled
Salt and pepper to taste
4 dried chiles or a few pinches of crushed red chile flakes, or to taste
1/3 cup stock (shrimp, fish or chicken) or white wine or water
Heat oven to 500 degrees. Combine garlic and oil in a small food processor and blend until smooth, scraping down sides as necessary. Add scallions and parsley and pulse until mixture is minced. Toss with shrimp, salt, pepper and chile flakes.
Put shrimp in a large roasting pan. Add liquid and place pan in oven. Roast, stirring once, until mixture is bubbly and hot, and shrimp all pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve.
Wow, delicious. Different from El Quijote's. And better.
But here's the wrinkle. Bittman's dish requires a plate, if not a bowl. A fork, if not a spoon. And I wanted to serve it as finger food, as a kind of cocktail-party dipping dish. A shrimp cocktail, twisted.
Just cook the shrimp straight and serve the sauce raw as a dip, I thought.
I tried, but it didn't work. The sauce was far too garlicky. Maybe OK for a solo night at home, but just not right for a party. Garlic breath inhibits flirting, and fun parties require flirting.
Just use less garlic, I reasoned.
So, two cloves of garlic instead of six. Oil, parsley, scallions, whizz, whizz, scoop, dip, taste. High hopes, dashed. This time it lacked oomph. No mojo.
Flummoxed, I went back to Bittman's recipe and tasted the sauce more carefully. What I tasted was garlic, certainly, but a soft garlic. Not as sweet as roasted garlic, but not as sharp as raw. Something in between.
Cook the garlic.
Worth a shot. I went back to 6 cloves, which I minced and sauteed in olive oil over medium-low heat. I cooled them and blended them with the parsley and scallion. The not-yet-sweet, not-still-sharp garlic was in the zone.
But. The sauce was now unbalanced. Tasted like raw parsley. My conclusion: Not only the garlic had to cook, but the green stuff had to cook too. And for the magic to happen, it all had to cook with the shrimp, infusing itself with shrimp's unique, sea-borne umami flavor.
I considered making stock with the shrimp casings piled up on my counter, and cooking the other ingredients in that, then reducing it. Then testing again.
Tilting at windmills, now. This quest was getting complicated. Quixotic even. I reminded myself of my goal: Dip. Dip! This needed to be simple.
I turned to "1080 Recipes," the classic, massive Spanish omnibus by the late Simone Ortega to see if it contained a recipe for shrimp in green sauce.
But I was quickly sidetracked by this recipe — probably by the word 'mayonnaise.' It sounded more substantive, more workable as dip. (And, it's green, boosted by a playful, optional dribble of food coloring.)
Green Mayonnaise
Adapted from "1080 Recipes," by Simone and Ines Ortega. Makes about 1 1/4 cups. Note: This recipe calls for uncooked egg. You may substitute canola oil for sunflower.
1 egg, at room temperature
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 cup sunflower oil
1/2 bunch fresh parsley, leaves only
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped, then rinsed and drained, capers
2 pickled gerkhins, chopped
Green food coloring (optional)
Put the egg, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and a dash of oil in a food processor or blender. (These ingredients should not quite cover its blades.) Gently combine the ingredients with a spatula or the handle of a spoon, then process for 20 seconds. Add the remaining oil, combine again with a spatula or the handle of a spoon, then process for about 35 seconds, until the mayonnaise is thick and creamy. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice to taste. Transfer to a bowl.
Pound the parsley leaves in a mortar or process briefly in a food processor, then add 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise. Mix well, then stir the mixture into the rest of the mayonnaise until thoroughly and evenly combined. Stir in the capers, gerkhins and a few drops of green food coloring, if using. Store in the refrigerator until required. Serve with cooked shrimp or torn bread.
The dip was simple, savory and elegant. And it reminded me how easy, and worth-it, homemade mayo is. (Of course, you can always cheat with high-quality storebought mayonnaise.
But every quest has a last-page twist. Mine was no exception. I found my treasure one page further on:
Mayonnaise with Tomato and Brandy
Adapted from "1080 Recipes," by Simone and Ines Ortega. Makes a little more than a cup. Note: This recipe calls for uncooked egg. You may use canola oil.
1 egg, at room temperature
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 cup sunflower oil
1 tablespoon brandy
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon tomato paste
A few drops Worcestershire sauce, to taste
Make the mayonnaise as in recipe for Green Mayonnaise. Gradually stir in the brandy, a little at a time, then the mustard, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well, then store in the refrigerator until required. Serve with cooked shrimp or torn bread.
The final score? Me: Zero. The Ortegas: Two. The resulting dips were nothing like "Shrimps Quijote," but they were luxurious, elegant and energetic — and festive enough for a holiday party. (Double-punch by serving both.)
And just like Patti Smith's early career (and Don Quixote's, for that matter) they proved that you never know where inspiration, and circumstance, will take you.

We need to learn to manage stress differently from our ancestors. It is quite truthfully and literally a matter of life and death!
Know your enemy as you know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat. - Chinese proverb
To manage stress in ourselves, we must first learn to identify what it is and how it makes us feel. Knowing the physiological nature of stress can help to us identify the specific symptoms we may have even if those symptoms are not causing any problems. Know the enemy.
As explained in the previous section, when we are stressed we can expect a number of things to happen almost instantly-within milliseconds:
-The heart beats more quickly to get ready to "fight or flee".
-Blood pressure increases to supply the brain with extra blood.
-Vision changes as the pupils constrict to increase visual acuity.
-The muscles tense to get ready to spring into action.
-Hearing changes to allow you to hear deeper sounds more easily.
-Digestion slows or stops to provide extra blood for the muscles of the body.
-Blood is directed away from the surface of the skin to the body core, sometimes causing people to
-Concentration is narrowed to allow you to focus on the perceived immediate threat.
-The brain begins a faster thinking process involving less logic and more instinct.
Each of the responses above was programmed to increase our survival probability assuming that there would be a physical response. If there is to be no physical response to burn up the energy generated by the stressor then each of the responses above can have negative health consequences.
How can we tell if we are stressed? Check to see if any of these reactions sound familiar. Focus on what is causing the reaction.
-"I feel a pounding pulse in my chest. Sometimes my heart feels like it is beating so loud I think
others might hear it." The heart beats more quickly to get ready to "fight or flee"
-"I can feel the veins in my head filling. Sometimes you can see them pulse." Blood pressure
increases to supply the brain with extra blood.
-"It is harder to read without changing the light." Vision changes as the pupils constrict to increase
visual acuity.
-"My head aches and my back and neck muscles get sore and stiff." The muscles tense to get
ready to spring into action.
-"I never heard what they said." Hearing changes to allow you to hear deeper sounds more easily.
-"I feel a knot in my stomach. Sometimes I get indigestion." Digestion slows or stops to provide extra
blood for the muscles of the body.
-"I feel cold. Sometimes I shiver." Blood is directed away from the surface of the skin to the body
-"I just can't focus. It seems like I can't think." Concentration is narrowed to allow you to focus more
closely on the perceived immediate threat.
-"I guess I just didn't think before I acted." The brain begins a faster thinking process involving less
logic and more instinct.
Each of the symptoms described above can be directly linked to the physiological response of the body to a stressor. It is easy to see how the body's response is linked to a survival response developed over thousands of generations. The first challenge was to recognize stress as an issue. The present challenge is to recognize a stress response in ourselves. There is actually a chain of predictable conditions, behaviors, and consequences of responses that occur in stressful situations.
Conditions are the things causing stress such as the environment, the events, the people, the places, and locations in which we find ourselves-situations and circumstances as they occur around us. These stressful conditions inspire certain behaviors.
Behaviors are the response we have to our stressors. Behaviors include the biochemical and physiological changes we discussed above. They can also include our general perception and awareness, the emotions we feel, the way we sit or stand, the manner in which we convey feelings through body language or behavior. Some other behaviors, which can be identified as responses to stress stimuli include things like a change in the intake of food, alcohol or other drugs. Any and all of these behaviors result in consequences.
Consequences of the response can be healthy or not depending on the appropriateness of the behavior. When the response is appropriate it is helpful and healthful. An inappropriate response is not helpful of healthful. An inappropriate but perfectly natural stress response can lead to stress related disorders, illness and even death.
Written as a formula the equation might look like this:
Conditions + Behaviors = Consequences
Our goal for health and happiness for long life, and success in whatever way we are going to define happiness and health will require us to change the condition, the behaviors or the consequences. All three are possible to change. The trick is how to do it. Often the best part of a trick, is knowing the trick!
I can decide to reduce the amount of stress in my life by changing those conditions I find stressful.
I can decide to reduce the amount of stress in my life by changing my behavior in response to those conditions. I can do this by changing my perception of stressful events, by changing my attitude, or by altering my patterns of behavior, and by learning about managing stress.
Finally, I can reduce the amount of stress in my life by managing the consequences of my behaviors by better understanding what my response to stress looks like. In that way I can recognize that the consequences are symptoms of stress. This understanding will lead to my changing conditions or behaviors.
Once we know what our personal reactions to stress look like, we learn how to manage it by:
1. Avoiding situations that stress us.
2. Managing stress in situations we can't avoid.
3. Managing the consequences of stress we can't avoid.
If we are able to avoid stressful situations, we will have then avoided the resultant stress. Good Job! We need to do nothing else. If, on the other hand, we are not able to avoid stressful situations, we will need to learn to manage the stress. To this end we offer three stress management strategies. They are :
1. Stress busters - for the immediate alleviation of temporary and perhaps necessary or important feelings of stress.
2. Long Term Preventative - The appropriate long-range preventative and curative interventions to minimize or reduce levels of stress.
3. Interventions - When all else fails!

The Network Integration Evaluations
What is it?
The Network Integration Evaluation (NIE) is the first in a series of semi-annual evaluations designed to integrate and mature the Army's tactical network and is a key element of the Army's emerging Network Strategy. The exercise is a six-week event conducted in June and July 2011 and will involve all 3,800 Soldiers of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division.
Its primary purpose is to conduct parallel Limited User Tests of several Army programs of record. A secondary purpose is to less formally evaluate developmental and emerging network capabilities. The exercise will also assess non-networked capabilities. The 2011 exercise is the first of this type of combined test and evaluation and demonstrates the Army's holistic focus to integrate network components simultaneously in one operational venue.
What will the NIE do?
The Network Integration Evaluations will provide a means to evaluate relevant capabilities in parallel and make incremental improvements based upon a disciplined feedback cycle. The effort will help facilitate rapid evaluation of commercial and government network solutions to establish a Network Baseline and then rapidly build from it.
What is planned for the future?
The June/July NIE is not a stand alone "pass/fail" event but the first of a series of semi-annual events. These events will allow the Army to build the network and then fill it with the best applications and systems that the network can handle. These events will help the Army achieve an iterative and agile process towards optimizing the BCT network.
Why is this important to the Army?
The NIE is a new way of doing business - a fundamental change in how we deliver capabilities to our Soldiers. The Army has adopted a strategy that will align the tactical network to the ARFORGEN process through Capability Sets that will enhance vertical and horizontal connectivity and provide an integrated network baseline from the static TOC to the dismounted to the Soldier. Network Integration Evaluations are key enablers to executing this strategy.

Plane-view observation technique of silicon nanowires by transmission electron microscopy17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590846View Description Hide Description
We have developed a novel technique of the plane-view transmission electron microscopy(TEM) observation of silicon (Si) nanowires by covering them firmly with a holding layer of The use of the holding layer is shown to be effective to fix the fine structure of the sample without deformation during a focused ion beam(FIB) thinning process, to protect the sample from a high energy FIB, and to give high contrast in the TEM image of the crystalline fine structure. The holding layer is quite suitable, therefore, for plane-view TEM observation of the fine structure such as a Si nanowire. By means of the proposed observation technique, we have successfully observed clear features in the direction of length of narrow (16 nm) Si nanowiresfabricated by using sidewall masks and the extremely fine (3–5 nm) Si nanowires obtained by the successive self-limiting oxidation. Moreover, the plane-view TEM lattice image of the ultrafine Si nanowire was also observed. The plane-view TEM observation technique described here is useful to analyze various fine nanostructures and contributes to develop nanofabricationtechnology.
Study of growth process of germanium nanocrystals using a grazing incidence x-ray diffraction method17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590847View Description Hide Description
The growth process of germaniumnanocrystals in a matrix was studied by an x-ray diffraction(XRD) technique using the grazing incidence of x rays. The conclusion based on the XRDanalysis of the Ge-doped glass is in good agreement with that from Raman spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. There are two stages of crystallization: the first stage is nucleation of the Genanocrystals at 600 °C, and the second stage is growth of the nanocrystals at 800 °C. During the second stage, the decomposition of into Ge and O in the Ge-doped glass sample results in fast growth of Genanocrystals. This is the first report that studied the growth of Genanocrystals in an matrix by XRD.
Surface-adsorbed polystyrene spheres as a template for nanosized metal particle formation: Optical properties of nanosized Au particle17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.591066View Description Hide Description
The use of surface-adsorbed monodisperse polystyrene spheres as a template for forming nanosized particles is described. This simple, yet general method is applicable to virtually any material that can be evaporated or sputtered, and monodisperse particles in the size range from tens of nanometers up to tens of micrometers are readily formed. We will demonstrate its versatility principally through the formation of Au particles having various optical properties produced by modifying their size and shape. We will further show that by changing the density of adsorbed polystyrene spheres as well as adsorbing spheres of two different sizes onto the same substrate allows further modifications of optical properties. Particles formed by this method promise to find a wide range of applications to products such as optical filters, substrates for spectroscopy,sensors, etc.
Role of embedded titanium nanoparticles for enhanced chemical vapor deposition diamond formation on silicon17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590848View Description Hide Description
The influence of titaniumnanoparticles embedded in the surface of silicon substrates by ultrasonic agitation on diamondchemical vapor deposition was studied. The deposited diamond particle density (DPD) was found to be substantially enhanced by using a mixed slurry (Di/Ti) compared to abrasion with a diamondslurry solely. It was also determined that, under the ultrasonic agitation conditions used in this work, the addition of titanium particles to the abrasive suspension does not affect the quantity of embedded diamondgrowth centers, nor does it alter their chemical character. Rather, the Ti particle additives are active during the initial stages of deposition. Ion implantation experiments show that diamondhomoepitaxiallygrows on diamond residues, and that Ti residues do not serve as nucleation centers. The annihilation of diamondgrowth centers prior to stable substrate formation is attributed to hydrogen etching, while the effect of thermal annealing is negligible. These experiments show that Ti residues do not prevent the etching of diamond debris. We therefore conclude that the increase in DPD is related to an enhancement in diamondgrowth that is induced by the Ti additives. We suggest that the enhanced growth is the result of Ti catalyzed surface reactions.
Fabrication of microdiamond array and electrical characterization of individual diamond microcrystals based on scanning probe microscopy17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590849View Description Hide Description
A microdiamond array, in which 2500 diamond microparticles 2 m in diameter were precisely arranged in a m scale, was fabricated by site-selective plasma chemical vapor deposition(CVD).Diamond was synthesized on a Pt substrate covered with a layer 0.2 m in thickness on which, using photolithographic processes, holes of were fabricated in order to expose the Pt surface at the bottom of each hole. Diamond microparticles grew selectively on these Pt sites based on the great difference between the nucleation densities of diamond on Pt and surfaces. At the initial stage of this site-selective CVD, the diamond growth was confined in the hole, and accordingly, a plate-like shaped diamond microparticle was formed. Using an electrically conductive probe for atomic force microscopy, the electrical conductivity of each plate-like diamond particle was measured while simultaneously acquiring a topographic image of the particles. The diamond particle consisted of multiple grains and their conductivity was not homogeneous. The central regions of the grains were less conductive than their edge regions. The grain boundaries were as nonconductive as the surrounding region.
Time-of-flight high-mass spectrometer observation of large size Nb clusters toward assembling of size controlled clusters17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590850View Description Hide Description
Using a plasma-gas-condensation-type cluster source, we could obtain nano-scale clusters with the average diameter between 2 and 13 nm. In order to detect such large free clusters containing we have constructed a time-of-flight high-mass spectrometer (TOF-HMS). The size distribution of the clusters observed by the TOF-HMS is in good agreement with the result of the transmission electron microscope observation. The mass spectra have been measured with varying the operational parameters of the cluster source. They are shifted to the smaller size direction and the mass distribution becomes narrower with increasing the He gas flow rate, and keeping the Ar gas flow rate, constant. These features are attributable to the decrease in the residence times of gaseous species in the cluster source. The cluster size increases with increasing the Ar gas pressure and lowering the temperature of the cluster source.
Surface potential of ferroelectric thin films investigated by scanning probe microscopy17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590851View Description Hide Description
Scanning probe microscopy was used to form local polarized domains in ferroelectric thin films by applying a voltage between the gold-coated cantilever and the conductive substrate in contact mode. Two methods of visualizing the poled areas are described. The first is to detect the piezoelectric response of the films by applying a small oscillating voltage between the probe tip and the substrate. This measurement determines the local ferroelectric polarity and domain structure directly. The second method is to measure the surface potential of the poled films using scanning Maxwell stress microscopy. This does not directly address the ferroelectric behavior of the film, but rather the potential due to surface charge. We determined the surface potential dependence on pulse voltage and duration applied to the ferroelectricfilm. The results demonstrate that the charged area will increase rapidly, but the surface potential will saturate as the pulse voltage and duration are increased. The resultant stable localized surface charge features indicate that lead zirconate titanate thin films are promising candidates for high-density charge storage media.
Atomic force microscopy of oxidative coupling reactions of phenols with in the solid state17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590852View Description Hide Description
The solid-solidchemical reactions of phenols or ketones, such as -naphthol (1) or anthron (2), with by ultraviolet irradiation give coupling dimeric products. The mechanisms are studied using atomic force microscopy(AFM) and known crystal packing data. AFM reveals that the crystal face (100) of 2 or (001) of 1 exhibits stumpy protrusions all over the surface from the contact edge of the crystals, respectively, whereas the long side face (010) of 2 gives volcanoes. All of those are guided by the crystal structure. Molecular interpretations of the AFM features are given.
High-resolution imaging of single-stranded DNA on mica surface under ultrahigh vacuum conditions by noncontact atomic force microscopy17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590853View Description Hide Description
Dynamic mode atomic force microscopy with frequency-shift detection has been employed for imaging single-stranded DNA on mica surfaces under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. For the wet procedures used to prepare the samples, the strong adhesion force caused by the water layer at the surface is observed even in ultrahigh vacuum conditions. The DNA images can only be obtained with large frequency shifts, but provide sufficient resolution to see the coil or higher-order structures of the DNA molecules in detail. Contrast effects, which might include information on the detailed structure, are often observed depending upon the feedback conditions.
Use of the Schiller decapitation process for the manufacture of high quality tungsten scanning tunneling microscopy tips17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590854View Description Hide Description
When tungstenscanning tunneling microscopy(STM) tips are sharpened by self-sputtering with ions, the Schiller-decapitation process can occur. We show that this process is accompanied by a very specific pattern in the sputter voltage as a function of time. This makes it possible to use the decapitation process for the manufacture of high quality STM tips. Our tips routinely produce atomic resolution in the [−110] and [001] directions on the {110} surfaces of GaAs and InP. The occurrence of the decapitation process is recognized by the observed pattern in the sputter voltage alone, without the presence of a phosphor screen. Secondly, we present a model which enables us to calculate the radius of curvature of the tip apex based on Fowler–Nordheim plots. Verification with scanning electron microscopy shows that our model is correct within 5 nm. A slight deviation of the experimental data from the theory suggests that our polycrystallinetungsten wire possesses a preferential crystal orientation.
Novel scanning near-field optical microscopy/atomic force microscope probes by combined micromachining and electron-beam nanolithography17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590855View Description Hide Description
We have developed novel probes which allow scanning near-field optical microscopy to be performed in a conventional atomic force microscope(AFM). Direct-write electron-beam lithography and siliconmicromachining have been used in a reliable batch process which allows the production of many probes at once without resort to handicraft. The aperture is situated at the hollow tip apex of a conventional silicon nitrideAFM cantilever. Since there is no waveguide cutoff, the overall light throughput is dramatically enhanced. The integration of a conventional force microscope cantilever with the aperture allows more reliable and better control of the aperture-sample distance than that obtained by "shear-force" detection. In addition, since the apertures are defined by lithographic means, the size and shape of apertures are well controlled and reproducible. We present the first results of near-field optical imaging and luminescence imaging using these probes demonstrating excellent light throughput and also good spatial and spectral resolution.
Three behavioral states observed in field emission from single-walled carbon nanotubes17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590856View Description Hide Description
We observe three distinct behavioral states in field emission from single-walled carbon nanotubes between temperatures of 300 and 1800 K. At room temperature, nanotubes emit through adsorbate states correlated to the presence of water. These states are removed above 900 K. After adsorbate removal, the apparently clean nanotube state shows lower emission current and substantially reduced emission noise. Current-temperature measurements identify a deviation from metallic tunneling behavior. Nanotubefield emission undergoes a second, field-stabilized transition at high temperatures which reduces the current by as much as five orders of magnitude relative to the room temperature current. This current decrease is 100% recoverable. In addition, the stable behavior of clean nanotube states breakdown at extremely high currents and temperatures. Rings form around the field emission images, similar to those observed in metals at extreme current densities. Under these extreme conditions, we also find evidence for the rearrangement of atoms on the nanotube caps.
Field emission properties of nanocrystalline chemically vapor deposited-diamond films17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590857View Description Hide Description
We have deposited nanocrystalline diamond films on p-type Si(100) substrates using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The diamond films were deposited at substrate temperatures between 950 and 980 °C using a high methane concentration of 5% in The films obtained showed good field emission properties with threshold fields of around 5 V μm−1 (for 1 nA emission current). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the nanocrystalline films still exhibit the basic electronic features of diamond with a band gap of 5.5 eV and a negative electron affinity when the surface is hydrogen plasma treated. The Fermi level position in these films is found to be 1±0.2 eV above the valence band maximum. The energy resolved field emission measurements show the typical asymmetric peak shape of Fowler-Nordheim (FN) tunneling through a surface potential barrier. The electrons emitted originate from a continuum of electronic states at the Fermi energy of the emitter. From a combined measurement of the field emitted electron energy distribution and the field emission characteristic of an emitter we could independently determine the work function and the local electric field present at the emission site. In the case of nanocrystalline CVD diamond emitters we determined work function values around 5.7 eV and local fields in the range of 2000–3000 V μm−1 (for emission currents of 10–1000 pA). The corresponding field enhancement factors can range from 250 to 1700. Simultaneous field and photoelectron emission spectroscopy showed no indication of field penetration. Deviations from the FN law in the high current regime of the plots may be related to an internal resistance of the emitter.
Simulation of thermionic emission from aluminum gallium nitride cathodes at elevated temperatures17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590858View Description Hide Description
semiconductor data were used to design a cathode with its layer thicknesses, doping level, and compositional grading specified. Semiconductor devicetheory was used to determine the thermal equilibrium condition in the cathode at various temperatures in order to compute the energy barrier for emitted electrons. The resulting current density was estimated from thermionic emissiontheory, and the results suggest that these cathodes could provide a current density of 100 A/cm2 or more at temperatures below 600 K. Such cathodes should prove quite useful for many types of vacuum devices, particularly microwave tubes.
Cold cathode field emitter array on a quadrupole mass spectrometer: Route to miniaturization17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590859View Description Hide Description
We have improved the quadrupolemass spectrometer by substituting the conventional hot filament electron source by a field emitter array (FEA). Elimination of the hot filament avoids a number of common problems, including thermal cracking of delicate molecules, outgassing of the filament itself and nearby components, high power requirements for the filament, large size, stray light, stray magnetic fields, contamination by thoria and tungsten, and a long warm-up time. The advantages are clearest for portable applications where power requirements dominate. Here, the power savings are not just in eliminating the filament supply, but more important in reducing the largest component of the system, the vacuum pump. This comes about because the filament is the primary gas load and because chemical reactions taking place on it require fast pumping to keep the products from interfering with the spectra. Comparison between hot filament and cold cathodeFEA ionization is made using a quadrupolemass spectrometer fitted with both electron sources, independently controlled. The FEA advantage is strongest when the ultrahigh vacuum system is throttled to a low pumping speed, mimicking a portable system with a small pump. FEAs also enable miniaturization and a corresponding decrease in pump size. Moreover, with miniaturization, shorter mean free paths and consequently higher working pressures can be tolerated further decreasing pump requirements.
Growth and postgrowth rapid thermal annealing of InAsN/InGaAs single quantum well on InP grown by gas source molecular beam epitaxy17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590860View Description Hide Description
InAsN/InGaAs single quantum wells(SQWs) with different nitrogen concentration have been successfully grown on InP substrates by gas sourcemolecular beam epitaxy used rf plasma nitrogen source.Photoluminescence (PL) results of the as-grown samples show red-shifted PL peak energy and rapidly degraded intensity as the nitrogen concentration increases. The roughly estimated maximum nitrogen mole fraction in these samples is 0.4%. Both the PL intensity and linewith of these InAsN/InGaAs SQWs were significantly improved after postgrowth rapid thermal annealing with the optimum temperature at 525–550 °C for samples with different nitrogen content. The improvement on 10 K PL intensity can be as high as 230 times, and the room temperature PL intensities of the annealed InAsN SQWs have been comparable to those of InAs SQWs used for laser diodes.Quantum well intermixing (QWI) induced blue-shifted PL spectra were also observed in these samples. The QWI threshold temperature decreases as the nitrogen concentration increases, which indicates that defects created by nitrogen incorporation may enhance the QWI.
In situ preparation of the semiconductor–superconductor interface: Nb contacts on InAs quantum wells17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590861View Description Hide Description
In this article we describe an in situ, low damage, process sequence designed to provide a more reliable, higher quality metal (superconductor)–semiconductor interface. We produce discrete Nb contacts on an InAsquantum well (125 Å) that is embedded within thick (∼3000 Å) barrier layers by utilizing a multichamber ultrahigh vacuum system, in which two Varian GenII, Molecular Beam Epitaxy chambers are directly connected to a high vacuum etch station. The principal process steps include (1) a short, "selective" thermal etch of the top barrier layer to expose and define the InAs contact region, (2) a post-etch anneal (under flux) to desorb residual etch products (i.e., ) and restore a clean and well-ordered InAssurface, (3) a Sb capping/passivation layer on the treated surface, (4) atmospheric transfer of the capped sample to a remote Nb deposition chamber, and (5) a post-anneal (in vacuum) to desorb the Sb cap immediately followed by Nb deposition. The priority throughout is minimizing damage and impurity exposure to the InAssurface. Morphology and roughness of the etchedsurface are explicitly considered in terms of the (1) initial native oxide removal: short sputter at room temperature versus thermal desorption at 530 °C under flux, (2) thermal etch temperature (180–260 °C), and (3) annealing temperature for Sb desorption (430–530 °C).
Luminescence properties of CdS quantum dots on ZnSe17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590862View Description Hide Description
The luminescenceproperties of self-assembled CdS quantum dots(QDs) were studied. CdS QD structures formed on ZnSe buffer layers without capping layers showed intense photoluminescence(PL). The PL peak position could be controlled by changing the amount of CdS deposited. Introduction of the capping layer enhanced the PL intensity. The buffer layermaterial selected also affected the luminescenceproperties of the CdS QDs, and brighter PL with the higher transition energy was observed by replacing the ZnSe buffer layer with ZnSSe. A light emitting diode structure based on CdS QDs sandwiched in the pn junction of ZnSe was fabricated and bright blue or green luminescence from current injection was observed at 77 K as well as at room temperature.
Practical aspects of solid source molecular beam epitaxial growth of phosphorus-containing films17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590863View Description Hide Description
The growth of phosphide films by solid sourcemolecular beam epitaxy presents challenges in regard to safety, oxygen contamination, and disposal of residual phosphorus. Upon venting the growth chamber after phosphide growth, phosphine concentrations greater than the permissible exposure limit were measured inside the chamber due to the reaction of moisture with residual red phosphorus deposits on the chamber walls. Another product of the reaction is hydrated phosphorus oxides that can degrade subsequently grown aluminum-containing films. Procedures were developed to safely vent the growth chamber as well as to minimize oxygen contamination of phosphide and arsenide films. Contamination in the phosphide films was also caused by significant concentrations of oxygen in the bulk of the starting phosphorus ingot. The contamination was greatly reduced by lowering the phosphorus cracker temperature. A mechanism involving volatile phosphorus trioxide, is proposed to qualitatively explain the effect of cracker temperature on oxygen contamination. Due to incomplete cracking of sublimed elemental phosphorus, deposits of flammable white phosphorus were created in the chamber. Procedures were developed to safely remove the white phosphorus from the machine and convert it into a nontoxic form for easy disposal.
Oxygen implant isolation of n-GaN field-effect transistor structures17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590864View Description Hide Description
Multiple-energy (30–325 keV) implantation into GaN field-effect transistor structures 3000 Å thick) can produce as-implanted sheet resistances of provided care is taken to ensure compensation of the region up to the projected range of the lowest energy implant. The sheet resistance remains above to annealing temperatures of ∼650 °C and displays an activation energy of 0.29 eV. No diffusion of the implanted oxygen was observed for anneals up to 800 °C.

This is a party hostel on the party street of Capetown. Expect loud music until early in the morning. Cost of wi fi is 20 rand per day and connection speed is average. Cash only for payment but an ATM on site. Staff did a good job keeping the well worn place clean, a big task after frequent parties. Mr. Bubbles, the hostel cat, kept things chill. Good music mix by the reception desk.

This is a vibrant and busy place where you can meet new people and party all night. This is a party hostel situated in the heart of Long street. As a South African I had to check in with my passport. I reserved a private room but the room was located in a dorm so I had to go into the dorm to get to my room, so ultimately some of the privacy was lost. The hostel had not updated their prices on hostelworld so I was charged more at check. This was not for me and I checked out the next day.

The judgment reduced the Herrmanns' damages because they did not mitigate their loss by purchasing a licence to use the garden for 50 or 80 years.
The Herrmanns appear to have lost that part of the the costs of their failed action (against the garden committee and the London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea) to determine whether they did have a statutory right of access. The costs were those incurred after May 2009 when the Herrmanns could have negotiated a licence.
So far as one can deduce from the judgment, both the Hermanns and Withers appeared in May 2009 to be the view that there was a statutory right of access.
By paying for a licence, the Herrmanns would have been out of pocket both for the cost of the licence and the reduction in the value of their house compared with a house with a perpetual right of access.
How would the Herrmanns have recovered this loss as both they and Withers appears to believe there was a statutory right. If Herrmanns sued Withers, the defence would surely have been that there was no loss as there was a statutory right of access and the Herrmanns should have pursued it.
By suing the garden committee and and the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea, the Herrmanns established the legal position over statutory access simplifying the litigation against Withers. For doing so, they appear to have been penalised in damages.
Anonymous 2 February 2013 at 12:22
This case demonstrates the lack of consumer protection for the clients of lawyers. Only those of equal power – i.e. other lawyers or equivalent have the means to challenge lawyers in cases of alleged negligence.
I also instructed senior partners in Withers LLP to oversee a property transaction. I also believe that negligence took place. However unlike Jerrey Herrmann I did not have the means to take the case to trial and therefore I am unable to prove or claim that Withers should have accepted responsibility for the alleged negligence. As a non-legally trained individual with no previous experience of litigation matters I had no knowledge of other means to fund a case such as CFAs.
The Legal Ombudsman only deals with cases such as poor service and not alleged negligence. This lack of consumer protection is unacceptable in a supposedly democratic society. I am therefore campaigning for reforms in consumer protection for clients of lawyers – any client of a lawyer who believes that a firm they have instructed in a property or business transaction has been negligent should be entitled to a free, independent hearing. This would help to alleviate much of the distress suffered by individuals such as I and other ordinary professionals who find themselves in this position. It would also promote public confidence in the legal profession. This would also be beneficial to any law firm who believes that such a claim for alleged negligence is spurious – it would provide a forum in which the issue could be resolved in the most economical manner.

Bellevue-based Intelius is something of a reporter's dream. They provide a fair amount of information on people's past addresses and family members for free and another $50 or so will get you an entire background check. As Nina Shapiro reported, the company built its business playing off fear, offering to check out potential significant others, nannies, or new neighbors.
Now they've added a cell phone number search for the low, low price of about $15 and Verizon is pissed. The New Jersey-based cell service provider released a statement today saying: "Stop it. This is a violation of Americans' privacy. People expect their cell phone numbers to remain private."
Coincidentally this morning I got a sales call from a gym in Chicago on the cell (I still have a Windy City area code) offering me a great discount on some sort of monthly membership. I never had a gym membership of any kind while I was living there, so wondering if my unlisted mobile number might be out there I skimmed Intelius. My cell isn't available, but five other Onstot mobiles are. You can only find residential lines for the name "Greg Nickels" in Washington, but a "Ronald Sims" cell number is up for sale.
I feel like I should be a little outraged, but it all seems sort of inevitable doesn't it?

Crash.Net F1 News
Button retains F1 2010 title lead
10 May 2010
Reigning F1 world champion Jenson Button has revealed that a dashboard display failure hampered his efforts during Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya.
Button eventually finished in fifth place, trailing home Michael Schumacher's Mercedes after he lost out to the German following a problem with the right rear during his pit stop.
While P5 was enough to keep him top in the drivers' championship, taking his tally to 70 points, 3 more than Fernando Alonso, it was still a frustrating afternoon for the Englishman.
Indeed while the McLaren MP4-25 definitely had the pace to do better – as shown by team-mate Lewis Hamilton's fastest lap - Button was unable to exploit the cars full potential, in part because of the technical problem and also because he was unable to pass Schumacher.
"During the opening laps, my dashboard readout stopped working. The team was telling me over the radio to do things on the steering wheel but I couldn't see if I was doing the right things," Button explained. "And I couldn't see the rev lights either: most of the time I was pretty close with my gear-changes, but I was hitting the limiter quite a lot, which happens when you're getting a tow and you're shifting at different places.
"Then I was delayed at the first pitstop: there was a problem with the clutch dragging, so the guys couldn't get the wheel on, and then I had wheelspin. When I rejoined the track, I didn't know where Michael [Schumacher] was. Into Turn One, he turned in – and if I hadn't backed out of it, we would probably have crashed.
"As everyone knows, it's almost impossible to overtake around here, and Michael was moving about a bit to make sure I couldn't get past. That was frustrating because the pace of my car was really good this afternoon, but that doesn't make any difference if you can't overtake. I was trying so hard to get past that I damaged my tyres quite a bit; I flat-spotted a front and hurt the rears under traction.
"Fifth wasn't the result we'd wanted, and it wasn't the result we really deserved either because we were pretty quick. I guess you could say that was both a positive and a negative, because I couldn't get to use that pace fully today."
McLaren team boss, Martin Whitmarsh added: "Jenson drove a very good race, but was hampered early on by a dash display failure that prevented him from being able to follow our normal launch procedure during his pitstop.
"As a result he was slowed by wheelspin which allowed Michael Schumacher to slip ahead of him. Thereafter he wasn't quite able to overtake him, despite clearly having the potential to lap faster than Michael had he had a clear track in front of him."
