Is there more to life than money?

The terrible kidnapping of the 200 Nigerian schoolgirls by Boko Haram has evoked disgust and condemnation from people all over the world. It's been more than a month and a half and shamefully nothing has happened to help these girls except for a Twitter hashtag campaign and the reported arrival of a British spyplane in Nigeria to help the Nigerian Army in the search.
While human rights activists and other informed commentators recognise the political roots of the conflict between Boko Haram and the Nigerian government and its innocent citizens, others, most notably Islamophobic online pundits, have wasted their time using the Boko Haram disaster to further their agenda of defaming Islam by quoting Quranic verses out of context to "prove" that Islam "condones" the shameful
The terrible kidnapping of the 200 Nigerian schoolgirls by Boko Haram, a Nigerian armed group, has evoked disgust and condemnation from people all over the world. The incident happened more than a month and a half ago, yet nothing has happened to help these girls except for a Twitter hashtag campaign and the reported arrival of a British spyplane in Nigeria to help the Nigerian Army in the search.
While human rights activists and other informed commentators recognise the political roots of the conflict between Boko Haram, the Nigerian government and its innocent citizens, others, most notably Islamophobic online pundits, have wasted their time using the Boko Haram disaster to further their agenda of defaming Islam by quoting Quranic verses out of context to prove that Islam condones the shameful practice of sex slavery.
Instead of recognising that the right of girls to go to school is under global assault, they look at what life was like in seventh century Arabia and crow that Sharia or Islamic law promotes keeping girls and women uneducated and imprisoned by their evil Muslim overlords (read: fathers, husbands, brothers, sons). Educated Muslims have fought back against the blame game with their own responses, including Pakistani education activist Malala Yousafzai, who made a public statement that Boko Haram had clearly "never read the Quran", for if they had, they would understand that their actions are a violation against everything it teaches.
All of this rhetoric serves only to direct justifiable anger and ire in the wrong direction. It is a distraction from the reality that "Islamist" movements use the most powerful tool in their arsenal - not physical weapons, but the firm belief that their fight is sanctioned by God - to provide justification for their illegal, violent and deplorable actions. Not only do they direct this tool inwards to their own psychological delusions (witness the Boko Haram leader declaring in a videotaped statement that God had told him to "sell women") but they direct this tool outwards, to the rest of the world watching them, in order to intimidate and silence everyone around them. What we see in these afflicted areas is the enactment of psychological warfare by Islamists on people's sensibilities, playing on their fears and vulnerabilities as well as their genuine love for their religion.
Western observers and pundits who react to this provocation on the same level are just playing the opposite end of the game: They are taking the claims of Boko Haram and other extremist groups and reacting as if they are actually true, and shared by every Muslim in the universe. They do this to suit their own agendas outwardly and inwardly, to justify their own hatred of Islam and their labelling of Muslims as "the other".
Boko Haram in Balochistan
Harming young girls who want an education and are willing to risk their lives in doing so has resonance for those of us in Pakistan who see similar threats being made against young schoolgirls in restive areas of the country. Everyone knows the story of Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in 2012 for speaking up about education for girls, but even more recently, an extremist group called Tanzeem-ul-Islami-ul-Furqan has been making threats against educating girls in the Panjgur district of Balochistan.
A bus taking girls to the Oasis School, a well-known private school in Panjgur, came under attack by the militants, who burnt the bus and subjected its driver, the school's head, retired Major Hussain Ali, to a violent beating. In reaction to the attack, all private schools have shut down temporarily in the district.
Writing in "Boko Haram in Balochistan", journalist Yousaf Ajab Baloch reports: "This terrorist outfit has issued pamphlets warnings all private schools in the district to shut down girls' education or to face the consequences. The pamphlets declare female education as haram, an Islamic term referring to things forbidden in Islam."
This in turn echoes the grim situation facing girls when the Taliban had overrun the Northern Areas, particularly Swat. Schools were similarly shut down, girls forbidden from pursuing their education. In Balochistan, the location of a continuing conflict between the government and Baloch separatists, Islamist groups are seeing opportunities to gain power; they are doing so by attacking the most vulnerable population and robbing them of their chance to make a better future for themselves. As Baloch reports, they are "using religious extremism to push the secular and civilised Baloch society toward ignorance and backwardness through use of force".
Despite an outcry by Baloch human rights and educational organisations, and an outcry by the parents of girls affected by the threats to the Panjgur schools, many of which have shut down out of fear of violent attacks, little international attention has been given to this alarming situation. If any comment is passed on similar trends anywhere in the Islamic world, it is only to assert that Muslims are silent, they secretly desire the most hard-core interpretation of Sharia to be enacted all over the world, and that only in the western world can girls truly find emancipation and education - all of which are patently untrue.
When situations like the Boko Haram kidnapping, or the shooting of Yousafzai, or any other assault on the human rights of girls are used to drive home points about Islam's deficiencies, we are playing a game in which there are no winners, only losers. Such commentary will not make Islam "reform" itself, nor will it chase away the grim spectre of Sharia being misunderstood by both Islamists and Islamophobes on every level.
Let's not turn the kidnappings and assaults on young girls going to school into a debate that nobody can win. Instead, let's focus on the issue and how to resolve it whether it is bringing home the Nigerian girls, or keeping Balochistan's girls schools open, or keeping all children secure and in school. It's not hard to see which avenue will be appreciated more by the girls of Nigeria and Balochistan and the entire Muslim world.

I am thrilled to announce the winners of the 2011 FEMA Individual and Community Preparedness Awards! We received applications from 36 States, as well as Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The applications reflected the full breadth of the emergency management team, with submissions from faith-based, tribal, non-profit, private sector, and community-based organizations, as well as individuals.
Winners showed incredible innovation and creativity. I am honored to recognize organizations such as the Washington State Emergency Management Division and individuals like the late John D. Solomon who are making a difference in people's lives by emphasizing the importance of preparedness.
One examples of an award winner is the San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians, who developed a "Send Word Now" system which provides text messages, email and voice alerts to tribal members during emergencies. Several of this year's winners also distinguished themselves by involving their entire community in emergency preparedness. For instance, the New York City Citizen Corps program collaborated with more than 60 community organizations, government agencies, private sector organizations, and volunteer programs to promote emergency preparedness.
Others were exemplary in their ability to train and educate community members. The American Red Cross of Greater Chicago trained more than 55,000 youth and their families in over 20 low-income neighborhoods. And the Earthquake Country Alliance conducted the successful Great California ShakeOut, an annual statewide earthquake drill that involves millions of participants - a concept that has been replicated in other states and countries.

Ralcorp said on Monday that material weaknesses in its internal controls caused it to botch accounting for the deferred tax liabilities of a subsidiary it spun off in February, which will force the company to restate prior results and file its quarterly report late.
Ralcorp said its audit committee found an error in the amount of deferred tax liabilities it recorded for its Post Holdings cereal business, which caused Ralcorp to understate the value of Post's assets and in turn understate its previously recorded, $364.8 million goodwill impairment by $54 million.

Republic Services Teamsters End Strike Over Company's Unfair Labor Practices
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Sanitation workers at Republic Services/Allied Waste in the greater Memphis area returned to work today. Nearly 200 drivers and helpers had been on strike since Monday, Jan. 28, in protest of numerous unfair labor practices by Republic/Allied [NYSE: RSG].(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100127/IBTLOGO ) The unfair labor practices by Republic/Allied Waste include withholding contractually-obligated safety bonuses, disallowing workers from putting safety gear on at work, and ending the practice of allowing workers to bid on family vacation time. The workers are also working under an expired contract, and there are several issues the company has so far failed to address in negotiations. The striking sanitation workers are represented by Teamsters Local 984 in Memphis. At a news conference yesterday, Aaron Belk, a representative of Local 984, discussed what caused the strike and what must happen next. "Our members are returning to work because our community is counting on them. Republic Services is based in Arizona, but we live here," Belk said. "The company better start respecting this community, and it can start by respecting the men and women who work here. This short strike was a wake-up call to Republic that it must stop breaking the law and start treating its workers and our communities fairly." Corey Hayes, a container delivery driver at Republic Services, addressed the press conference. "This is dangerous work," Hayes said. "We have an important duty to protect everyone from the dangerous things we come across every day. We take this responsibility very seriously and we receive bonuses under our contract for being safe. After breaking the law in other ways many times over the past few months, last week this company chose to cheat us out of our safety bonuses. We decided we'd had enough of their bullying, so we went on strike."

After a flight from Ecuador, Valencia arrived in Manchester missing his camera. Without entertaining the possibility that it was stolen upon arrival in Manchester, he immediately accused the folks who checked his bags in his home nation.
In addition to helpfully illustrating his predicament with a picture of himself pointing towards an empty camera bag while wearing one of his least impressed expressions, Valencia tweeted some vitriol:
"Yes, they rob you in your own country! They won't rob you anywhere else, these a******* that check your baggage in the airport robbed my camera."
"I hope they use it well, these f****ng fools. What a disgrace. What indignation."
Valencia has since apologized for his potty mouth, but a millionaire footballer getting this angry about the theft of a relatively inexpensive possession can only mean one thing: that camera had some 'invaluable' photos on it. I'm guessing it's Rio Ferdinand doing body shots off of Wayne Rooney at the Manchester Utd Christmas party. Actually, you'd probably be glad to lose that...

Lay a patio now and you'll enjoy the benefits each time you're out in the garden. It's not a difficult job, so put aside a weekend and you'll soon be entertaining friends, or enjoying a well-earned rest on your new patio surrounded by pots and plants.
Clear the area you've chosen for your patio to a depth of 15cm to allow room for the hardcore, mortar and paving slabs. Lay 5cm - 8cms of hardcore, using a rake to distribute it and even out any bumps.
Use a wacker plate to compact and level the hardcore. It's not essential, but stops the rubble moving around while you lay the slabs, making the base solid.
Hammer wooden pegs into the ground - they need to be at the same height to mark the level surface of the patio. Make sure they're level with any existing paving and manhole covers. Position several over the patio site to work with, using a spirit level to ensure they're even.
For a random design, place several slabs on the ground to help you decide which shapes interlock well together. Alternatively, cut out pieces of paper to represent scaled-down slabs and work out a design on your scale plan.
Make a mortar mix - five parts building sand to one part cement. If you're laying a small patio, do this in a wheelbarrow, for larger areas it's worth hiring an electric cement mixer. Lay slabs on a bed of mortar 5cm - 8cm deep, tapping down firmly with a rubber mallet or pressing down with your hands.
You need to leave a 1cm gap between each slab, which you'll fill in later with mortar. As you progress, use your spirit level or a plank of wood to ensure the slabs are level with the pegs you banged into the ground earlier.
Edge the patio with paviours layed on a 5cm - 8cm layer of mortar, butting them closely together. For a neat fit, use a hammer and bolster chisel to break paviours where necessary.
Wash down the slabs when you've finished, making sure you remove any splattered mortar before it hardens and stains the paving.
Fill the gaps between the paving slabs using a pointing trowel and the same mortar mix as before. Try not to get mortar on the slab surfaces as this will stain if allowed to set.
If the patio is next to the house, include a slight gradient away from the house when laying the slabs, so that rainwater simply runs off into an area where it can be soaked up.

16/05/2012 at 13:24
Can you lay a patio over an exisiting patio?
16/11/2012 at 19:34
It's the hammering the wooden pegs "into the ground - they need to be at the same height to mark the level surface of the patio" (and finding wooden pegs) that's always been the impossible part for me. Any tipes on what this actually means and how to do it?
I've all the materials outside waiting for me to lay paving stones next to a path to give me a wider seating area. Think I'm just going to spirit-level the slabs with the path - oh, except the path is not excactly level and even! Ah well, it'll be a paved area of some character...
09/02/2013 at 12:59
I have a small area that I want to lay some slabs on (about 3m x 3m max). The area is covered with cracked old concrete. Can that be broken up or do I need to buy hard core? And if so, where from? I can't see it on Wickes website?

Hi everyone
My situation is a little different than all the one's I've read and researched. Most reflux/hydronephrosis issues have been with pregnant women or children. My situation is a little different. I am an adult suffering from it. I evidently was born with a birth defect of my kidneys/bladder. I finally had surgery at the age of 6, and thought I was cured. 18years later (I am now 24 in 3days), I ended up in the ER with a severe UTI, abscessed kidney, and an ovarian cycst. I had laproscopic surgery to drain everything and was treated with antibiotics for a week in the hospital. I have had 2 IVPs since then and each showed hydroneprosis. My urologist thinks I've had this my whole life. I've been on antibiotics for the past 4 months and I have a VCUG scheduled at the end of the month.
My husband and I have been ttc for about a year now. When all this happened, my doctor said my condition would cause complications during pregnancy. I have not been able to find anyone in the same situation so I have had nobody to talk to about this. My husband and I really want a baby, but I'm afraid of being selfish and something bad happening. I'd appreciate anyone's insight or just to talk to anyone. Thanks for reading.

I'm sure the poor servers who take my review visit orders assume I'm underfed or crazy. My companions and I never skip a course, and since I'm most interested in assessing the kitchen's various skills, our picks are frequently nonsensical: If a patron asks for a side of French fries to accompany her steak and mashed potatoes, she's probably either carb-starved or a working critic.
So it was a real treat to make my first trip to Agrodolce, the subject of this week's review, all by myself. Freed from the responsibility of filling the table with incongruous dishes, and knowing I'd come back twice more with friends to polish off the menu, I was able to order just what I wanted. I started with a scotch cocktail and bread, followed by cauliflower soup; duck cavatelli, paired with a glass of Valpolicella; and grilled tuna. For dessert, I asked for rice pudding fritters and a glass of Fernet.
To me, that's not a particularly noteworthy meal. But my server apparently thought otherwise. Sometime after I ordered the wine - which she later revealed was the very wine she would have recommended - she returned to my table.
"I have to ask you something," she said. "Are you in the industry?"
While I'd always worried that my scattered orders and endless questions would mark me as a reviewer on the job, I suddenly realized the real mark of a dining pro is confidence and food fluency. (And an affection for Fernet Branca. As Food Republic reported a few months ago, "Chefs love Fernet. Bartenders love Fernet. People who write about chefs and bartenders love Fernet. Mario Batali loves Fernet. It ends about there." To my server's credit, she approached me before I dropped the amaro's name.)
Since I hate lying, I answered the server half-truthfully: Yes, I told her, I waitressed for years. "Do you miss it?," she asked. That response didn't require any tweaking. When I'm sitting in my quiet office, staring at a computer screen, I very much miss the bustle of a busy weekend night on the floor.
When my server brought the bill, the soup and bread weren't on it. "As an homage and a tribute to you being in the industry," she explained.
I suppose it's possible that she knew why I was at the restaurant, and hoped to win me over with the $9 comp. But it seemed unlikely that she'd have confronted me if she did, which put me in the strange position of not being able to refuse the free food without revealing my identity. So I accepted the discount, leaving her with a tip (which I later realized wasn't as generous as it should have been: I made the rookie mistake of not tipping on comped food) and the idea to drink Fernet with rice pudding fritters.
No matter what you drink with the fritters, they're pretty terrific. For more on what works at Maria Hines' third restaurant, check out my full review here. And don't miss Joshua Huston's slideshow, with images of all the dishes which helped nearly blow my cover.

(also Free!) cooperative multiplayer arcade game, reminiscent in style and gameplay of retro games like 'Zombies Ate My Neighbors' and 'Super Smash TV!', but with the added benefit of some newer game mechanics - achievements, ranking, player-customization, rpg style stats and so forth.
The game sports a varietyof different game modes, from co-operative 'campaign' style levels, to wave maps and even the classic 'pvp' style game modes - deathmatch, capture the 'bag' and so forth. All of these mods are bristling with a variety of weapons and items, all lovingly displayed in Jordan's classic quirky pixel-art style.
Hi everybody! Jordan here with a little bit of a news break for Zombie Grinder! I know it's been like 4,000 years since I've posted news, as Tim and I have been incredibly busy at our 9-5's, but I've got some fabulous news!
That's right! After an over-a-year-long campaign, your support has helped us catch Valve's attention enough to justify a release on Steam! I know I speak for everybody who has contributed content to the game when I say that we thank ALL of your for your relentless support through the good times, and the bad!
With this unprecedented event comes some pretty amazing news! More updates than I had actually thought we would do! To be honest Tim and I were roadmapping an over-all end-of-the-line update that would introduce a single-player mode and the online side of things would be Peer-to-Peer. We still have other games we want to eventually work on, but with Zombie Grinder being released on Steam, we have a newfound vigor to polish it up and make sure it's a complete experience in and of itself!
Since finding this news out, I've completed 8 new hats, and 6 new weapons. This next content patch which may be a ways off should be very interesting!!
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole situation, as I honestly never expected it to happen, and I know Tim's in an even crazier spot, but I just thought I'd let y'all know that we appreciate everything you've all done! From just playing the game, to pitching ideas for new weapons.
Obviously a bunch of stuff is coming, and while I can't exactly put a date on it, Tim and I are shooting for a full release before Summer of next year to co-incide with our Steam debut :)
Thanks again for all your support!
Much love,
disclaimer: HUB will not date you, and thinks you're kind of a slob. Also new guns, achievements, and all kinds of new stuff!
We've got a ton of new stuff we plan to add, but aren't 100% sure if we should trickle it in over time, or make one humongous content update once it's...
Holiday greetings from Tim and Jordan! A small update announcing our upcoming holiday sale, as well as some info on a rapidly approaching sale! WOO!!!!
Procedurally generated dungeons make an appearance in an all new dungeon crawler game mode!

I just have one word to say to ye.
Just one word.
I am playing it and I love it!
Kinda like the cute graphics too.
Looking forward to steam release!
The game has changed so much over time... way to go guys.
Hm... The game ignores the [Enter] key on my computer. Can't do anything in main menu. Is this a common problem?
I believe the space bar is the "enter" in the menu, and E is the default progression key in-game
(btw guys we've just been greenlit :3)
Yo Infini, long time no see. Gratz.
- BadgesPwnsNoobs
Just donated Laser is so much fun! :P
Just got you guys 8 more votes on green-light with my friends , I'm spreading the word!
EDIT: Forcing them to play via Desura right now :P
Zombie grinder does not work anymore!!! why
Master server threw a wobbly, should be back up now.

NEW HOLLAND, Pa. Ś On Nov. 9, 12th-grade students in Mark LeamanÆs class at Garden Spot High School will come face to face with history. Thanks to a unique living history program, groups of students will get first-person accounts of key moments in 20th-century history from residents of Garden Spot Village who lived through the events.
ōThe purpose of the project is to help students make a connection and reinforce the information we are studying in class. Hopefully, theyÆll also reflect on the æhistoryÆ going on around them in their current lives,ö said Leaman, who has taught at Garden Spot High School for 12 years.
ōThis program gives Villagers an opportunity to share their stories with a younger generation, it acknowledges the insights acquired through each lifetime andenriches the lives of all participants,ö said Colleen Musselman, director of life enrichment at Garden Spot Village.
Leaman introduced the living history program last spring, with several volunteers from Garden Spot Village.
ōI thought it was positive for both the seniors and the kids, so I thought I would do it again,ö Leaman said. Last yearÆs students were ōvery receptive, inquisitive and focused on the presentations.ö
The students break into small groups, each with an adult born before 1950. Theywill address such topics as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the Three Mile Island crisis and the falling of the Berlin Wall. The class covers the period from the 1920s to the present.
So far, at least a dozen residents from Garden Spot Village have volunteered to participate in this yearÆs living history program.

mmmm.. coffe, You know what is good
beautiful shot, i love the detail on the "cofee pattern" what is more, you got there an amazing work with light
This is amazing. The focus is great and it looks very tasty. Is there supposed to be a design on the top?
Yepit looked like a leaf.
i can see a branch with some leaves on the coffe ..do u see it?
skitsnyggt, som vanligt, ser ut som det ligger ett löv i det ^^
du borde kanske försöka sälja bilden?
du borde kanske försöka sälja bilden?
Det är ett löv, eller meningen att det ska se ut som ett löv i alla fall tror jag.
iami!!! makes me want to drink coffee..BrB...
Sälj det till ett cafe eller Lindahls kaffe
I like how it looks like there is a design on the coffee. Great Shot!
This is a great shot! It looks like it should be an advertisement for a trendy coffee shop

DS was having some problems staying asleep - and then later telling me *getting* to sleep during the 2nd week of concerta 18mg use. I gave him a 3mg Melatonin tablet for 2 nights - worked great, but he refuses to take them anymore, as they're uncoated & taste nasty (I have to agree w/ him on that).
The other day at Rite-Aid, I saw a liquid form of Melatonin (2.5mg for a dose I guess). Raspberry&Vanilla flavoring listed.
1 - Have ya'll found a difference other than the means of delivery in how liquid vs pill works?
2 - Anyone know of where I can find coated Melatonin tablets (brand, I'll order off the Net if need be)? From what I can tell in the dark bottles, and looking at the ingredient list - all of them are uncoated.

i've gotten by for a long time w/o knowing, but i'm curious; how do you make specific torque measurements so you assemble things to "manufacturers specs"?

I prefer the click action type of torque wrench http://www.harborfreight.com/1-4-qua...ench-2696.html
and on a related note, Torques are measured by a force(newtons, pounds) multiplied by the lever arm, so proper units would be newtons * meters(Nm) or inches * pounds (in. lbs.). Sorry about my being so anal but proper units make everything more clear.
I prefer click type also and own two to cover the range of work that I do. I get the impression that the OP is inexperienced and thus suggest that using a low cost beam type would be far Superior to guessing. Most inexperienced users are trying to accomplish basic work at a low cost. As far as I'm concerned, a professional should use the best he or she can afford. If you are being payed for your work and an inaccurate reading causes damage to a customer's bike, your "savings" in buying a cheaper tool will pale in comparison to the potential cost of damages.
Trek Fuel XC MTB, Giant OCR Road Bike, Rans Screamer - Tandem
Beam type wrenches are not only cheaper than click-type but inherently more reliable.
Decent ones give up nothing in accuracy. They only lack the convenience of being able to set the torque of a fastener when you can't see the wrench itself. That is never true when working on a bicycle.
I prefer beam wrenches, I use a Park 1/4 inch drive for all the small stuff and a Sears 1/2 inch drive for bottom brackets, casettes, and crank bolts.
If I'm not mistaken the beam type can also measure both directions. I have a click type I've used for automotive stuff and it doesnt click when tightening reverse threaded things sometimes found on bikes.
And beam-type torque wrenches can be re-calibrated. Click-type wrenches need to be sent back to the factory to be re-calibrated. I think that it is nice to have a racheting mechanism, but truth be told, the beam type is probably a better choice, especially if budget is a factor.
I have dial type, click, and split beams, that can all measure in reverse if needed, so reverse use is not limited to beam types. I have a high end torque wrench I've used regularly for 35 years; I had it calibrated a couple years ago and only gained 1 lb-ft of accuracy. I know an engineer that has his quality shop wrenches tested for calibration regularly for government compliance, and they maintain their accuracy in spite of heavy use & abuse. There's not a downside to purchasing quality equipment.
A handy tool I use all the time for various disciplines http://joshmadison.com/software/convert-for-windows/

Regardless of which type of torque-wrench used, it will always be more precise than the best mechanic's "calibrated" hand. We had that argument constantly at the shop and we'd double-check the calibrated-hand's work with a torque-wrench afterward. It can be +/- 40% or more off from the perceived torque. Heck, even the bottom-of-the-line Harbour Freight clicky wrench can get within +/-10%.
The results are even worse with newbie mechanics. They tend to over-tighten small bolts and under-tighten big ones. Such as the crankarm bolts which require 25-33 lb*ft. Simply impossible to do with itty-bitty L-shaped allen-keys. You need an automotive-style 3/8" ratchet-wrench to get up to the required torque.

- crown jewels - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
At coronations and certain formal state ceremonies, the jewels worn by royalty are crown jewels. They belong not to the rulers themselves, but to the royal offices (of king, queen, and so forth) and to the royal families. Various European rulers bought expensive jewels and left them in their countries' collections of royal valuables-these items are also crown jewels. In Ireland, where there is no crown or coronation, the crown jewels are a jewelled star of the Order of St. Patrick, a diamond brooch, and five gold collars of the St. Patrick order. All these items were crown property and were stolen from Dublin Castle in 1907.

Interface-blocking mechanism for reduction of threading dislocations in and epitaxial layers on substrates22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1781188View Description Hide Description
A mechanism of interface blocking was proposed to reduce the threading dislocations in the and layers on substrates. In this work, epitaxial and layers were grown by UHV/CVD. It was surprisingly found that if the variation of the composition, , across the interface of or is higher than a certain value, most of the threading dislocations appear to be blocked and confined in the underlying or layer by the interface. It implies that this finding can provide a simple way to grow high-quality relaxed and layers on the substrates.
Linear alignment of SiC dots on silicon substrates22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1787520View Description Hide Description
A linear alignment of self-assembled, cubic SiC dots grown by molecular beam epitaxy on Si substrates is demonstrated. The formation of well-ordered biatomic steps on (111) Si was used to control the nucleation sites. The resulting terraces promote an alignment along their step edges. SiC on Si represents self-organization in a system with chemical interactions. The resulting instability of the Si surface during the nucleation requires a precise control of the process conditions. By atomic force microscopy we demonstrate the achieved linear chains of SiC dots.
Selectively deposited Ru top electrode on and Ru step coverage on TiN by digital chemical vapor deposition22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1795248View Description Hide Description
A digital chemical vapor deposition (DCVD) process was used to selectively deposit ruthenium on hydroxyl-terminated (PZT)surfacepatterned with a photoresist; the PZT was on Ru/sapphire substrate. The DCVD of Ru was carried out at using an alternate delivery of Bis (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato) (1,5-cyclooctadiene)Ru (dissolved in tetrahydrofuran) and oxygen. The ferroelectric hysteresis of on Ru/sapphire with selectively deposited top Ru electrode by digital CVD was measured, which yielded a symmetric hysteresis loop with high remnant polarization of . Additionally, Ru films,deposited by DCVD on high aspect ratio vias of TiN on Si, exhibited nearly 100% step coverage. This DCVD process shows promise for attaining three-dimensional metal/PZT/metal stacks for high density ferroelectric random access memories.
Hard and conductive carbon nanodome thin films deposited by rf magnetron sputtering22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1800473View Description Hide Description
This Letter reports the synthesis of hard and conductive carbonnanodomethin films over a range of substrate temperature from . The size of the nanodomes increases from at room temperature to at high temperature . Electrical characterization shows that these films have conductive behavior with a resistivity depending on the size of the nanodomes.Resistivity values of were found for nanodomes of size , falling to for nanodomes of size . Nanoindentation results show that the hardness and Young's modulus of these films are in the range from and , respectively, and these values decrease as the size of the nanodomes increases. Glancing angle x-ray diffraction results confirm that a crystalline graphitic carbon nitride structure has formed.
Compound-target sputtering for niobium carbide thin-film deposition22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1800491View Description Hide Description
In this Letter, we report the deposition of niobiumcarbide (NbC) thin films by using a rf magnetron sputtering apparatus with a NbC target. The films were characterized with regard to their structure, chemical bonding states, and composition. It was revealed that cubic NbC films could grow at ambient temperature. The film composition was estimated as a function of deposition parameters. It was found that excess carbon exists within the filmsdeposited at low working argon pressure. This excess carbon seems to be associated with poor crystallinity. Using the present deposition method, oxygen content in the films could be controlled at an extremely low level. Either physical scattering or a chemical etching mechanism was considered to be responsible for the loss of carbon in the film.

Controllable fabrication of fiber nano-tips by dynamic chemical etching based on siphon principle22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1781185View Description Hide Description
A dynamic chemical etching method based on siphon principle has been developed for controllable fabrication of fiber nano-tips, which could be used in near-field optical microscope and optical nanosensors. Compared with traditional static chemical etching, this method has advantages such as reproducibility, controllability, convenience, less cost, and making tip surface smooth. The overall shape and the tape angle of the tip can be effectively controlled through the speed and direction of water flux. Tips with taper angles from 20° to 55°, and tips with double tapers have been achieved by this method.
Bias-temperature stress analysis of interconnect structure22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1781186View Description Hide Description
Bias-temperature stress test was used to evaluate the efficiency of an ultrathin diffusion barrier in interconnects by assessing the failure mode of the interconnect structure. Samples are stressed up to failure in order to study the actual failure mode of fabricated MOS capacitors. The time-to-failure (TTF) of samples is estimated to be at least 14 years under standard operating conditions, which is determined by extrapolating TTFs of current–time curves measured at accelerated test conditions. The calculated activation energies of the capacitors is within range of normal time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) activation energies, suggesting TDDB-related failure. Tof-SIMS and analyses strongly suggest a mixed mode failure mechanism in the capacitors, where ion contamination is dominant at low field and high temperature stress conditions, while TDDB dominates at other conditions.
Changes in electrical and optical properties of due to proton implantation22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1781187View Description Hide Description
The effects of proton implantation with energy of on the electrical, optical and luminescent properties of films are reported. The proton implantation leads to a decrease in the concentration of uncompensated shallow acceptors and, after high implantation doses, to formation of highly resistive compensated material. The dominant deep traps observed in implanted films are hole traps with activation energy of 0.26, 0.4, and . Proton implantation is also shown to lead to a decrease in the intensity of near-band-edge microcathodoluminescence and, after high implantation doses, to the emergence of a yellow luminescence band.
Equivalent oxide thickness reduction of interpoly dielectric using ALD- for flash device application22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1781659View Description Hide Description
An interpoly dielectric stack consisting of silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, and silicon dioxide (OAO stack) has been proposed to replace the oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) stack in flash memory. Atomic layer deposition and annealing conditions of films were studied to achieve low equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) and leakage current.Aluminum oxide films were deposited from alternating pulses of trimethylaluminum and ozone. The within-wafer nonuniformity and wafer-to-wafer thickness repeatability were both typically below 1.0% . The OAO interpoly dielectric exhibited leakage current density below at an electric field of while an 11% reduction in EOT to was achieved as compared with an ONO stack. The OAO stack has higher breakdown field and greater charge to breakdown than the ONO stack.
Direct thin-film formation with homogeneous nanograin-size distribution by oxide-mediated silicidation22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1781660View Description Hide Description
By annealing at for followed by , nanocrystalline thin film with an average grain size of can be directly formed from a multilayer with the as a mediated layer. It is found that annealing at for enough time is crucial for generating enough diffusion channels within the layer. After these channels are created, subsequent annealing at keeps these channels open and is responsible for rapid grain growth. In other words, by using two-step annealing,nucleation and growth processes can be effectively controlled and, hence, the resulting microstructure. The homogeneous nanograin-size distribution is important for ultralarge-scale integration technology below to prevent resistance degradation induced by agglomeration.
Strain relaxation and surface roughness of graded buffer layers grown on InP for applications22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1782640View Description Hide Description
In this study, metamorphic compositionally graded layers grown on InP by molecular beam epitaxy with a final indium mole fraction of are investigated. To examine the effects of relative growth temperature on strain relaxation and surface morphology at different stages of the buffer layer growth, a series of samples was produced with the indium mole fraction graded from , 0.79, and 1.0 with a constant grading rate. The high misfit dislocation velocity in this system allows the grading to be accomplished with a thin layer , complete strain relaxation and low threading dislocation densities. The evolution of the strain relaxation, threading dislocation density, and surface morphology were evaluated by triple axis x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy(TEM), etch pit density (EPD), and atomic force microscopy. Higher growth temperature led to threading densities as low as , as measured by plan-view TEM and EPD. The final surface roughness was controlled by the growth temperature of a constant composition cap layer.
System optimization of membrane mask distortion correction based on Fourier analysis22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1783317View Description Hide Description
We have studied the distortion correction scheme of a membrane mask in the spatial frequency domain by using Fourier analysis. The relationship between stress and distortion tells us that distortion is inversely proportional to spatial frequency, which means the high spatial frequency component of the stress has little effect on the distortion. Also, the Fourier analysis of the thermal diffusion compensation tells us that the heat input is required to be large as the spatial frequency becomes large, i.e., the upper limit of the heat input power gives the upper limit of the correctable spatial frequency in the distortion correction. Assuming that the total heat input power is 100 W, and the membrane is 1 μm thick in air, it turned out that the acceptable stress in low spatial frequency region is about 200 MPa, and the distortion correction system is required to have only the spatial frequency corresponding to the wavelength of 0.26 mm or more, which can be easily implemented with a commercially available Video Graphics Array resolution system.
High performances of pseudomorphic modulation-doped field effect transistors using camel-gate structure22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1783318View Description Hide Description
In this article, high-performance -doped pseudomorphic modulation-doped field effect transistors (pMODFETs) employing camel-gate structure are characterized. Because of the depleted junction in the gate region and the presence of the large conduction-band discontinuity of the heterostructure, a large gate turn-on voltage is obtained. The dc and microwave characteristics of single- and double--doped pMODFETs are demonstrated. The double--doped pMODFET exhibits a higher drain saturation current, a larger transconductance, a broader gate voltage swing, and better high-frequency responses than the single--doped device. The excellent performance of the studied devices is promising for linear and large signal amplifiers and high-frequency circuit applications.
Thermally grown ruthenium oxide thin films22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1783319View Description Hide Description
Thin rutheniumfilms were sputtered on oxidized silicon wafers and subsequently thermally oxidized in oxygen∕nitrogen or oxygen ambient in the temperature range from 400 to 700 °C. The morphological and structural properties of grownruthenium oxide films were analyzed by atomic force microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction, with electrical properties analyzed by van der Pauw technique and metal–oxide semiconductor (MOS)structures. Significant roughening of was observed for prolonged oxidation in oxygen∕nitrogen atmosphere, or for short times in pure oxygen atmosphere. Raman spectroscopy revealed superior structural properties of thermally grown, in comparison to sputtered or metalorganic chemical vapor deposition films. Thermally grown is shown to have a work function of 5.1 eV, making it a suitable choice of metals, together with Ru (4.6 eV work function) for electrodes in complementary MOS-channel and -channel transistors.
Growth characteristics of oxide during prolonged anodization of aluminum in preparing ordered nanopore arrays22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1783320View Description Hide Description
In this study, one-step anodization was conducted on both mechanically polished and electropolished Al foils at different temperatures to examine their growth characteristics during prolonged anodization. Several unusual phenomena different from those reported previously were observed, especially for the preparation of ordered pore arrays on electropolished Al foils. First, under a constant voltage condition, a continuous increase of the oxidation current with fluctuation was observed in a prolonged period of anodization at high temperatures. Second, the ordered pore arrangement of the oxide initially obtained on the electropolished Al foil anodized at 25 °C was found to become disordered after being anodized for 72 h. Third, the total film thickness increased in the beginning and decreased in the prolonged period when the anodization was conducted at a high temperature. Thus, it is concluded that a highly ordered pore configuration with a large aspect ratio could only be obtained on the electropolished substrate by anodizing for a moderate period of time at low temperatures.
Formation of shallow junctions using SiGe barriers22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1784825View Description Hide Description
Ultrashallow junctions are required for next generation electronics. We present a technique for the formation of ultrashallow junctions that increases the thermal stability of the junctions formed by either epitaxy or ion implantation. By using a barrier layer, the diffusion of B is inhibited during high temperature processes. Alloys having a composition from were investigated and it is shown that the most effective barrier had the maximum Ge fraction. The junction depth decreased to for a plasma implant spike annealed at , compared to a junction depth of for a Si control sample having the identical implant and anneal. It is hypothesized that the inhibition of B diffusion in the alloy layer is caused by a reduction of the Si self-interstitials in the alloy.
Atomic force microscope based analysis of bound and bound+mobile phase monolayer behavior under mechanical and electrical stress22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1787517View Description Hide Description
One of the major problems with microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is the stiction caused by capillary, van der Waals, electrostatic, and chemical forces. Self-assembled monolayers are extensively used to resolve this problem and they have been effective to a certain extent. It has been noted that the molecular weight, entanglement of molecules with asperities, time dependent interactions between asperities and monolayers, and surface migration play major roles in the failure of these coatings. In addition, tribological stressing and diffusion at increased temperature can also cause monolayers to fail. In this study, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and related techniques are used to analyze the behavior of bound monolayer films of 1-decanol and bound 1-decanol combined with a mobile phase (a pentaerythritol ester). Molecular reorientation and surface detachment under electrostatic force increase with increasing electric field between the AFM tip and the film. The AFM tip is used as a single asperity contact to study the atomic scale film failure dynamics of MEMS materials. The micronanotribology of both bound and bound/mobile systems show significant differences in tribochemistry and replenishing characteristics. Bound and mobile phase films exhibit desirable tribological characteristics that extend the reliable life of MEMS devices, which is demonstrated in real device tests.
Effectiveness of reactive sputter-deposited Ta–N films as diffusion barriers for Ag metallization22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1787521View Description Hide Description
Tantalum nitride films on silicon were prepared by reactive sputtering of Ta under nitrogen partial flow rates varying from 15% to 40% . Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) and x-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis revealed that the composition and phases of the Ta–N films were influenced by the flow rate. Increasing the nitrogen partial flow rate from 25% to 40% , results in the films changing from metal-rich to stoichiometric Ta–nitride. High flow rates (30%–40% ) resulted in a disordered tantalum–nitride. The tantalum nitride films were evaluated as potential diffusion barriers for Ag metallization. Sheet resistance measurements, XRD and RBS analysis confirmed that Ta–N films, used as diffusion barriers in the system, were thermally stable up to when annealed for in vacuum. The thermal stability was independent of flow rate within this temperature range. However, at , the barrier failed as a result of Ta–silicide formation by reaction with the underlying Si substrate, and dewetting of Ag on Ta–N occurred.
Investigation of nodule growth in ion beam sputtered multilayers22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1788677View Description Hide Description
In this study, the nodule growth in ion beamsputtering coatings used for extreme-ultraviolet (EUV)lithography masks has been studied in relation with the number of pairs (period 7 nm). To trigger this growth, initial particles of different sizes were used. With a deposition angle of 30° and after the deposition of 40–60 pairs, the lateral size of nodules was found to grow up to while its height ranged from to depending on the initial particle diameter. This lateral growth was demonstrated to mainly result from shadowing effect. Besides, a vertical smoothing effect was evidenced even in the case of relatively large initial seed particles (70–155 nm). It is attributed to adatom surface diffusion which is also thought to promote a slowdown in the nodule lateral growth when increasing the coating thickness. Finally, a real case of mask blank realization is presented showing that a good knowledge of nodule growth is essential to properly analyze the defect characteristics of EUV mask blanks.
Capture of flaked particles during plasma etching by a negatively biased electrode22(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.1788678View Description Hide Description
A bias electrode was installed inside an etching chamber to investigate the effect of bias voltage on particle behavior. To detect flaked particles individually and to determine their trajectories, an in situ particle monitoring system which employs laser light scattering was employed. Consequently, it was found that particles were attracted when negative voltage was supplied to the bias electrode. However, particles were pushed toward the wafer when positive voltage was applied. It was thus clarified that the flaked particles have positive charges, and concluded that negative bias voltage can control their behavior and keep the wafer surface particle free, without serious affect on the etching process.

48th Parliament has been dissolved
The 48th Parliament was brought to an end at 3 pm on Friday, 3 October 2008, when a proclamation was read on the steps of Parliament House. This was the first step towards the holding of the general election on Saturday, 8 November 2008.
The proclamation was read out by Mr Phillip O'Shea CNZM, LVO, New Zealand Herald of Arms Extraordinary to The Queen, as the authorised representative of The Governor-General, His Excellency The Honourable Anand Satyanand, PCNZM, QSO. The Clerk of the House of Representatives, Mary Harris, the Deputy Clerk of the House, Debra Angus, and Clerk-Assistant (House), Fay Paterson, attended as official witnesses, but a number of members of the public and parliamentary staff were also present for the ceremony.
The Governor-General has also issued a proclamation summoning Parliament. This practice recognises the Crown's intention to preserve the continuity of Parliament. The new Parliament must be called within six weeks of the return of the writ (final election results).
The next step will be for the Governor-General to issue a writ to the Chief Electoral Officer directing him to conduct a general election of members of the House of Representatives. The writ will specify the latest day for the nomination of candidates, polling day, and the latest day for the return of the writ with the name of elected constituency candidates.

AbstractOccurrence and fate of 45 pesticides and 40 pesticide degradates were investigated in four contrasdng agricultural settings - in Maryland, Nebraska, California, and Washington. Primary crops included corn at all sites, soybeans in Maryland, orchards in California and Washington, and vineyards in Washington. Pesticides and pesticide degradates detected in water samples from all four areas were predominandy from two classes of herbicides - triazines and chloroacetanilides; insecticides and fungicides were not present in the shallow ground water. In most samples, pesticide degradates gready exceeded the concentrations of parent pesticide. In samples from Nebraska, the parent pesticide atrazine [6-cHoro-N-ethyl-N???-(1-methylethyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4- diamine] was about the same concentration as the degradate, but in samples from Maryland and California atrazine concentrations were substantially smaller than its degradate. Simazine [6-chloroN,N???-diethyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diarnine] , the second most detected triazine, was detected in ground water from Maryland, California, and Washington. Metolachlor [2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl6-merhylphenyl)-N- (2-methoxy-1-methylerhyl)acetamide] rarely was detected without its degradates, and when they were detected in the same sample metolachlor always had smaller concentrations. The Root-Zone Water-Quality Model was used to examine the occurrence and fate of metolachlor at the Maryland site. Simulations accurately predicted which metolachlor degradate would be predominant in rhe unsaturated zone. In analyses of relations among redox indicators and pesticide variance, apparent age, concentrations of dissolved oxygen, and excess nitrogen gas (from denitrification) were important indicators of the presence and concentration of pesticides in these ground water systems.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Brandon Moss hit a grand slam and the Oakland Athletics gave Jeff Samardzija more run support Thursday than he has had all season in a 13-1 victory over the Houston Astros.
Jed Lowrie had three hits and drove in a run for the A's, who have the best record (63-38) in baseball and are a season-best 25 games over .500.
Chris Carter hit a home run for the Astros, who fell to 2-4 since the All-Star Break.
Samardzija (2-1) gave up a leadoff single to Jose Altuve and then retired 10 straight before Carter's 20th home run put Houston on the board. He did not walk a batter and struck out six.
He retired 12 of 13 following Carter's blast. Carter was the lone Astro to venture past second base against Samardzija.
Samardzija was 2-7 with the Cubs despites a 2.83 ERA. He entered with the third lowest run support in the majors at 3.05 per outing.

A street fighter ploy off the painting in the sistine chapel made by michelangelo.

beauitiful, I love the color and the concept!
If I had the skill, I'd do a parody of the Last Supper with the cast of Guilty Gear.
LMAOOO nice
Fun and Original
HAHAHAHAHAHA this art is hilarious XD
this made me giggle... did I say that out loud?
This has way more meaning and relevance to me than the Sistine Chapel painting ever did or could.
Looks like a lazy afternoon! XD
ahhhhhh nice!!!!
you style and technique are very solid but i dont think they look too much like there videogame counter parts.
Thanks, and yeah; I'm still having a tough time with likeness. I'll get it down... someday >:I
Ha! I've always loved the art in the Sistine Chapel, and this is such a great new version of it! One can clearly see where this whole concept (the pose and such) came from, but still you were able to hide it in this whole new concept of Street Fighter. I've always been a huge fan of Street Fighter, so it was so great to see you use them in a piece like this. And using them this well! I really love the colors, and you've added some great details and shadings to the entire work. You also did a good job with the shadows; also applying a shadow on the floor underneath the arms there. You did a fantastic job with this!
Thanks, glad you're a fan of classic art & enjoyed this piece. It's always good to learn from the masters from the past.
I love this!
Nicely done. I like the color. Though Michelangelo actually painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Though he's less known for painting and more for his sculptures.
Many thanks, and again thanks for the education. I don't know why I put DaVinci; it was a pretty sleepless night though. Regardless, Michelangelo was pretty awesome at painting and sculpting.
That's a pretty clever parody.

poor baby got colic
Comments (4)
My LO is the same way. He gets so gassy and uncomfortable and it breaks my heart to see him that way. I also give him the gas relief drops and I've been using Gripe water too. It seems to be helping somewhat (along with formula for gassiness/colic). I think its fine. I asked my pediatrician about it and it said that there was nothing wrong with giving him the drops, especially if it eases their comfort. Eventually, they will get to a point where their systems mature more and they wont need them.
All Praise is due to ALLAH, The Lord of the Universe. Peace and Blessings be upon Muhammad, the last messenger and a mercy to mankind.
