Some business conferences you attend are beneficial because of specific content presented. Other business conferences are beneficial because of all the creative ideas they trigger, irrespective of whether the ideas were actually discussed by presenters. The Innovation Summit presented by Kansas City Kansas Community College last week soundly delivered on triggering ideas for strategic questions for disruptive innovation in markets.
In fact, the free, half-day Kansas City Kansas Community College Innovation Summit was a veritable bonanza since I walked away with a variety of ideas triggered by the presenters. Those ideas included ones for several new Brainzooming creative thinking exercises I'd never before imagined.
To do a little sharing, the presentations from keynote speaker Dean Teng-Kee Tan (of the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Bloch School of Business) and several Kansas City innovators suggested eleven strategic questions to ask relative to imagining potential market disruption opportunities:
11 Strategic Questions for Disruptive Innovation
1. What feature can you create that's missing in someone else's product?
2. Where can you disrupt significant cost areas in physical goods?
3. How can you digitize a physical element, action, or experience – or digitize all three?
4. What steps can you take to create a service out of your strongest / most prevalent support capability?
5. How can you inject a completely emotional experience into what you do?
6. Ever thought about ways to digitize a service?
7. How is it possible to smooth demand for inefficient / difficult to provide capabilities?
8. What would it take to turn in-person interactions into remote interactions?
9. How can you digitize scarce resources to put them in more places simultaneously?
10. What could you do to help push the biggest player in your desired market to leave the marketplace?
11. If the most prominent player in your market did go away, what opportunities would it open up?
Asking the Right Strategic Question
Again, none of the presenters necessarily mentioned these strategic questions for disruptive innovation. The questions were derived from the various case studies and examples presenters shared and by asking one of my favorite questions:
What strategic question (or questions) could cause someone to come up with the same answer the original innovator did?
And when you land on great strategic questions, you can much more easily generate lots of innovation ideas. – Mike Brown

We are pleased to offer another great piece of history. According to my research I discovered that this is an English or British ammunition / powder bucket. I do no tknow the exact age of this piece.This bucket has the name B.H. & G. Ltd. stamped on the bottom as well as a number nine under this but I cannot read what else is after the nine. Above it also has No 56 and VI stamped into it. This bucket has a variation of a Royal Coat of Arms on the front with a letter N stamped underneath it. The emblem has some light loss to the paint. There is an area above the emblem that most likely was wher ethe cover was attached. It stands approximately 15.75" high. It has an approximate diameter of 6.75" The bucket is constructed from leather and has a single seam down the back. The inside liner is made from canvas and has age appropriate signs of wear. There are some scratches to the surface and loose threads in one area as well. The underside of this has a circle that was glued on. This section appears has some areas where the glue has started to come loose. The leather has creases, cracks, scuffs, losses and stains.

LAS VEGAS -- With two summer league games in the books, here are five takeaways from Dallas' performance so far in Las Vegas.
1. Jae Crowder remains an enigma: Coming into the summer league, Crowder's weight loss and how that may help his ability to play multiple positions for the Mavs was the story. Through two games, there are two key components to his game that remain a mystery: his true position and the role he plays.
So far, Crowder really hasn't stood out in any department. He's shooting 46 percent from the field, but he's shooting just 23.1 percent from 3-point range. His overall shooting from the field is actually better than it was last summer, but his long-range shooting is drastically worse. He'll have to finish strong in Vegas in order to use that as a springboard when the team reconvenes for training camp.
2. Bernard James is a key component to the squad's success: The Mavs looked like a completely different team in their loss to the Charlotte Bobcats. That was mainly because of their inability to control the paint. James missed that game due to illness. Without their anchor in the middle, the Mavs had no answer for Charlotte's size.
While he may still be a project on the offensive end of the floor, James has the ability to control the game on the defensive end with his energy and mobility. With the Mavs lacking depth at center, the second year player's role may be larger in 2013-2014.
3. Ricky Ledo will be a project: After not playing organized basketball for over a year, Ricky Ledo has manned the role of the first scoring option off the bench in Vegas. One thing is clear: the talent is there. The rare combination of size, athleticism, shooting and ball-handling makes him such an intriguing prospect.
It's been an up-and-down run for Ledo in the first portion of the summer league. It's apparent that he plays a lot better when he's under control. The Mavs clearly like him and believe he can be an asset. It looks like he will be a prime candidate to gain seasoning in Frisco with the Texas Legends, the team's D-League affiliate, during the regular season.
4. Outside of the go-to names, there might not be a lot of depth there: Justin Dentmon scored a team-high 18 points in the team's loss to Charlotte, but it appears he's behind Gal Mekel, Ledo and Josh Akognon on the depth chart. (The go-to names would consist of Crowder, James, Mekel, Ledo and Akognon.)
The Mavs have an obvious need for big men. Unfortunately, none of the players out of the group of Dewayne Dedmon, Christian Watford, Jackie Carmichael and Hamady N'Diaye have shown consistency. It's possible that any or all members of that quartet could be a training camp invitee, but that's likely the end of the road for them.
5. Gal Mekel has some serious potential: Mekel has led the team in assists in both games and has done an impressive job of controlling the offense. His numbers could be better as he's set up his teammates in scoring positions, but they have been unable to finish off those possessions. Mekel has also done a nice job of prodding the defense with dribble penetration.
Shooting will be the thing he needs to address between now and training camp. It takes too much time and effort for him to get his shot up from the perimeter. He will need to tighten that up or opponents will stay back on him, taking away his ability to drive into the lane. It would be wise of him to spend time with Jose Calderon, a gifted shooter at the point guard position, and see if he can help him in that department.

I just downvoted this question and then took it back, but I still have -1 rep, when I believe that it used to immediately give you the rep back. Is this a bug or do I have to wait for a rep recalc?
Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 157 Stack Exchange communities.
What is meta?
What is meta?
Here's how it works:
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
This is because you are over your daily rep cap. It's a bit of a bug in the system, but it prevents people from downvoting a bunch of posts early in the day, then reversing the downvote and gaining the rep back over the cap, so the system instead only gives back the 1 point if you're under 200.
If you want it back, you can request a rep recalc, but you may not like what you get (rep losses from deleted questions, etc)
I just downvoted your question and refreshed to confirm I lost 1.
Then I took it back and refreshed again, and I was back to what I had before.

White Papers
IP Subsystems
Back to all white papers
Addressing IP Integration & Software Development Challenges to Accelerate SoC Time-to-Market
This white paper will explore the issues facing SoC designers as they address SoC complexity and time-to-market challenges. It will discuss the use of third-party IP while noting that high-quality IP alone is not enough to accelerate time-to-market with today's SoC complexity. The paper will also discuss issues around driver software development for the IP. Finally, it will review the five major development steps in any SoC design and how third-party IP providers should be expected to help accelerate each of these steps.

The Rise of SIP Subsystems: What is the Value to Silicon Architects and SoC Designers
The semiconductor IP (SIP) market arose when SIP vendors created IP functions that mirrored those found in the discrete semiconductor market and made those functions available to SoC designers in the form of hard or soft SIP blocks. As the SoC and SIP markets evolved, it was a natural evolution that many discrete SIP functions be converged into larger blocks that mimic system-level functions (i.e. subsystems). This whitepaper discusses how the use IP subsystems to reduce the level of effort designers must expend to create highly complex SoC designs will represent the future of the SoC development in the semiconductor industry.

High-End Audio Made Easy: The Software Story
Audio requirements are soaring. Whereas audio used to be done in a few spare cycles of the main CPU, decoding today's Blu-ray Disc 24-bit, 192 kHz high-definition audio streams, or post-processing 9.1 channel Pro Logic IIz streams, requires significant performance. An obvious solution is to offload the processing to one or more dedicated audio digital signal processors (DSPs) such as the DesignWare® ARC® AS211SFX/AS221BD Audio Processors, but this complicates system design and introduces a number of hardware and software challenges. This white paper elaborates on these challenges and presents a number of architectural solutions. In addition to the offloading complexities, this paper covers the integration of audio processing software in larger multimedia and product software stacks, by describing how to integrate audio software into popular Linux- and Android-based systems.

Philip V. Hull American School of Professional Psychology, Hawaii
Human personality is typically considered to reflect a person's "true" self or "core" identity, stable and unique relative to other measures of behavior over time. This concept of personality makes it difficult to envision a healthy person having two personalities. On the other hand, personality is also considered to be an attribute of groups and societies. Thus, people might talk about an "Anglo," a "Mexican," or a "Chinese" personality when trying to categorize the types of behaviors believed to be characteristic of these ethnic groups.
Susan Ervin-Tripp was one of the first to distinguish between COORDINATE bilinguals (those who have learned and continue to use their two languages in separate and distinct cultural contexts) and COMPOUND bilinguals (those who have learned their second language in the same cultural context as their first language). The Chinese immigrant who learns English after arriving in the United States at age 10 is an example of a coordinate bilingual, whereas individuals who learn a foreign language in college or from bilingual parents are examples of compound bilinguals. As Susan Ervin-Tripp further pointed out more than three decades ago ( Ervin, 1961), in switching from one language to another, coordinate bilinguals may also be choosing or shifting from one array of topics and/or meanings to another. Ervin-Tripp's pioneering interest in psycho- and sociolinguistics and her important contributions to these fields inspired the conceptual development and the execution of the research reported in this chapter. It is thus particularly appropriate to dedicate this chapter to her.
Bilingual immigrants continue to provide a very useful focus for research into the social and psychological meaning of language because immigrants often speak languages associated with different cultural systems. Many bilinguals report that they think and/or feel differently depending on the linguistic context. The research reported here attempts to determine whether bilingual individuals have access to culturally different modes of thought, and, if so, whether this implies the existence of two different personalities within the same individual, each associated with one of the bilingual's two languages. Two questions were particularly relevant to this study: (a) To the extent that human personality is learned, are any language-associated differences between verbal memory systems in bilinguals reflected in similar differences between dimensions of personality in bilinguals? (b) Should such differences exist, can they be tapped in the same way that differences in

Q: My dad is 73 years old and worked part-time. He got sick in January of a hernia and had surgery. During all the tests he had done they discovered he had lung cancer stage 3, which will be treated with radiation and chemo. At his age (and he is receiving social security) would he qualify for disability?
A: No. Your father will not qualify for disability. The disability program is only for people who are younger than full retirement age. You cannot get both disability and retirement benefits from Social Security.

Very sad. Prayers to Diego and his family.
Very sad. Prayers to Diego and his family.
I ride that very spot many times a month. I'm hoping this part is wrong:
"According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, Ballesteros was riding east in the center of the shoulder on the left-hand side of the highway."
At that spot 254 is a divided highway with a wide grassy median. Kansas law says on divided roadways like that, bicyclists may ride as close to the side of the road as practicable on either the left or right side. However, the right-side shoulder is 10' wide with a 3' rumble strip next to the right lane. The left shoulder is only 3' wide and I don't recall rumble strips on that side. Can't imagine why a cyclist would be in the left shoulder (the race route stays on 254 there). Also missing is any mention of the follow-vehicle. I can't recall ever seeing a RAAM rider come through here without its chase vehicle being within 100 yds or so.
All that said, it's a tragedy. And unfortunately far too many citizens will wonder what a bike was doing out there instead of asking what on earth the driver was doing. Very, very sad for the rider; very, very sad for all cyclists, really.
maybe he was riding on the other side because the rumble strips often mean that the shoulder is filthy
according to the report I saw, the support vehicle had gone ahead temporarily.
Update from www.kansas.com (the Wichita Eagle) -- cyclist still in Wesley Medical Center, expected to be in hospital two more weeks.
They breifly mentioned this accident at the awards banquet Saturday night. They said that he would recover fully but couldn't comment on the details. As far as his support goes, during the daylight hours you can support your riders using "leapfrog" support. His support car may have been doing that or they may have left him briefly to go ahead and get gas. We rode as little as possible without the support vehicle right behind our riders. It's just thet safest way to go. Unfortunately an inattentive driver was in the wrong place at the wrong time...
It doesn't get harder, you just go slower.
Saw this update on a Kansas cycling blog:
"Well it is time to keep everyone informed with what is going on with Diego Ballesteros, the Spanish Race Across America rider. He was moved to a regular room at Wesley Medical Center yesterday afternoon. He still does not have any feeling from his waist or so down. He has a very positive outlook but says it is very hard under the circumstances. His doctors have told him that they feel the paralysis is due to severe inflammation. He did have 4 broken vertebrae but the spinal cord was intact. He also has 4 broken ribs and road rash galore, from face to toe!
"His girlfriend, Ana, arrived Saturday eve following 24hrs of travel. Two from his support crew, Mattias and Chavi, remain to help him through the red tape involved with this kind of situation. What insurance covers and which insurance covers what, has been a real headache.
"Their goal is to find a medical airplane to airlift him back home to Spain. The cost is prohibitive and whether or not insurance will cover is still in question. His girlfriend only has 10 vacation days and so she is hopeful all will work out. Another option is a rehab hospital in Colorado until he can board a regular flight. A local couple have opened their house (2 blocks from WMC) to these 3 to keep their cost of stay at a minimum. They are surprised at Kansans generosity and concern. (Im not.)"
Update: A local government official befriend Diego Ballesteros while he was in the hospital and advanced him the $21,000 necessary to fly him back to Spain. He's paralyzed from the waist down. Funds are being sought to recoup the expenses (donation details included in the attached story).
The driver was uninsured; the rider has racked up a $350,000 medical bill.
It's not clear whether he will ever walk again.
Story here:
Thanks for the update. It's very unfortunate. I hope that he is able to walk back into Wichita one day. I don't understand why his follow vehicle left him "to prepare" for a rider exchange. That doesn't make sense. Other than in the beginning of the race, I doubt our riders rode more than a 1/2 mile without a vehicle behind them for the entire race.
It doesn't get harder, you just go slower.
- No charges were filed against the driver who struck the racer (Diego Ballesteros).
- Ballesteros is back in Spain, still recuperating.
"He will never be able to walk again and his apartment in his hometown of Barbastro is a 4th floor walk-up. He will always need help getting into and out of his wheelchair."

Chennai, Jan 23 (IANS) Five years after he made his directorial debut with Tamil sports drama "Vennila Kabbadi Kuzhu", filmmaker Suseenthiran's next outing in the same language will be around cricket.
"Cricket will be an important character of my film. The story will revolve around the game and the characters in it. I can't reveal anything more at this moment. The film will go on floors soon," Suseenthiran told IANS.
Vishnu Vishal, who worked with Suseenthiran in his directorial debut, has been roped in to play the role of a cricketer in the film.
"I started my career with him and we have been good friends since then. I was supposed to do a film with him two years back but it didn't work out. Since he is a good cricket player in real life, I couldn't think of anyone else to essay the role," he added.
In the 2013 edition of Celebrity Cricket League, Vishnu scored the highest runs. He was member of the Chennai Rhinos team.
Manisha Yadav has been roped in to play the female lead, while the rest of the cast for the film will be finalised soon.
Meanwhile, Suseenthiran's "Vennila Kabbadi Kuzhu" is currently being remade in Hindi as "Badlapur Boys".

I have a very strange shell extension folder which I just can't get rid of.
How can I get rid of this? I already downloaded ShellExViewer, but I cannot find any extension called "X64", nor are the other extensions which reside in that folder anywhere in the Viewer. I am also not able to find that folder in the registry, but that's probably because I don't know where to look.
How can I edit this so the contents of the folder are put in the "default" menu and not in a subfolder?

Motion City Soundtrack at Varsity Theater, 11/18/12
Photo by Youa Vang
Motion City Soundtrack
With Jukebox the Ghost, Now, Now, and Crash, Burn Repeat
Varsity Theater, Minneapolis
Sunday, November 18, 2012
Sunday evening at the Varsity Theater with Motion City Soundtrack can be summed up with: sweat, sadness, joy, and snow. The sold out venue hosted the Minneapolis darlings for the last night of the band's tour, bringing friends and hardcore fans together for a night of high-energy music. It was also a night where lead singer Justin Pierre was often drowned out by the crowd that sang along to every word of every song.

Motion City Soundtrack at First Avenue
With a discography of five albums, there was no lack of hit songs to pick from for the band's set. Most Motion City albums are expertly crafted and produced, but the group's live show is where the magic happens, bringing an energy that has young teens and adults alike on their feet and jumping to the band's infectious sound. With the opening riffs of "Attractive Today," a classic MCS tune, the audience was more than ready to get down. Pierre once said that he often writes about his friends without asking their permission first, and although "Antonia" was not written about one particular person, the stream of lyrics such as "She shaves her legs with Ginsu knives, She quotes a lot of Annie Hall, She misplaced her virginity back in 1995" bring to mind a quirky, misguided girl that you can't help but love.
"Everything is Alright" subsequently followed by "L.G. FUAD" (Let's Get Fucked Up and Die) are anthem songs for the band's audience, both infused with stories/advice from someone who has lived a rough life without being preachy -- something that the band specializes at.
Photo by Youa Vang
Turning the energy knob down just a hair, Justin told the crowd, "So tonight is the end of our tour. It's so crazy, cause I can feel the sadness and joy," leading into "Happy Anniversary," a song written for his grandmother, Lucy. Prior to writing for the latest album Go, Pierre hopped on a plane based on a hunch, and saw Lucy on the last evening of her life, something that he says was "completely strange and eerie. Had I not got on that plane to see her, I never would have been able to experience this sad and beautiful thing." That haunted feeling drifts through the song, and embeds itself in the lyrics "I can feel you in my bones tonight."
"Happy Anniversary" was a piece that Justin had trouble singing until Sunday night, but he quickly brought it back to a lighter note for "A Life Less Ordinary," a lively song from My Dinosaur Life that highlights guitarist Josh Cain's guitar riffs and Jesse Johnson's walking keyboard chords that weave in and out of the song.
Pierre is candid about his alcoholism that took up a lot of his life in his 20s, and he often writes about lost loves that were perhaps from that time in his life. These love stories gone wrong have a redemptive quality to them, most especially because Justin has a clever way of wording them such as in "My Favorite Accident" and "Last Night." More redemption can be found in "Timelines" and "Everyone Will Die" from Go. While the whole album is very introspective, both pieces are prime examples of being able to look back on what you've done with your life and accepting it for what it is.
Stumbling over his introduction for "True Romance," the lead singer dedicated it to his girlfriend, Lindsay, that was in the crowd Sunday evening. The night seemed a little short for fans that knew every song played, and like a pack of hungry wolves, asked for more. Motion City threw in the driving "Disappear" and ended the regular set with their signature closing "The Future Freaks Me Out," complete with "snow" that floated down from the ceiling.
Photo by Youa Vang
Bringing back members of Jukebox the Ghost for their encore of a cover of Ben Folds Five's "Army," the added musicians brought another layer to the already full sound of MCS. During tours, Justin often eludes the crowd to save his voice for shows. But being the last night of the tour, the singer invited fans to hang out and said he would stay to talk to everyone until there was no one left -- even if he had to be outside to avoid the venue's hard curfew. Welcome home, boys.
Critic's bias: I can't recall how many times I have seen Motion City Soundtrack, but this was my first time reviewing a performance. If you have never seen a MCS show, I urge you to go. You will not be disappointed.
The crowd: Hardcore Motion City Soundtrack fans ready to party.
Overheard in the crowd: "The 'snow' is actually useful, cause it's soap and everyone's so sweaty. These people are getting a shower, whether they want one or not." - Mike Minehart
Random notebook dump: Justin Pierre summarizes Now, Now's sound by saying it reminds him of 1993 -- in a good way.

Going through my MILLIONS of "favorite" saved recipes. This is going on my weekend recipe list. I'll start soaking on Wednesday.
Rating4/5 (from 1 ratings)4
YieldMany, about a quart
2 Cups Pumpkin seeds soaked for 3 days (72 hours) then rinsed well.
1 med clove Garlic
1/2 med Onion
1/4 Cup EVOO
1 tablespoon Turmeric
1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
2 & 1/2 Cups Nutritional Yeast (not raw)
1 tablespoon Miso (not raw)
water (enough to assist with blending)
Recipe Directions
In blender, place the soaked and rinsed pumpkin seeds and blend until creamy adding water as needed (careful not too much before adding oil)
Add oil and continue till creamy.
Add remaining ingredients and again continue to blend until creamy.
Beany, this cheese isn't green. LOL
Waterbaby12347's ThoughtsBy waterbaby12347
Strong stinky cheese with a kick, which is always my favorite. Not for the faint of heart. LOL
Warning: If you didn't like Blue Cheese or Sharp NY Cheddar when SAD, then don't try this one.

Sorry Bitt~ No I don't rinse the seeds daily... I only rinse off the yucky water just before putting into the blender.... Also the water will have a white slim on the top, but it wont hurt anything... Hope you enjoy this strong seed pate`...
Bitt, I don't think the seeds would ferment if you rinsed them each day. Based on some other comments Waterbaby has made about fermenting, I'm pretty sure she does not rinse the seeds.
do you rinse the water each day or not?
zaphirah Sunflower~ and Ambiguous~ Yes the seeds are soaked for 3 days... That's how long it took in my cool kitchen for them to ferment... Your kitchen may be warmer and take less time, they are ready after the bubbling and odor are present...
this recipe sounds a lot more tangy (through the addition of Nutritional Yeast & Miso) than the one I posted several months ago.
It's nice to try variations with these things to keep them from getting boring.
I think the not raw comment next to the miso is because miso (even unpasteurized) is not raw, as it's made of cooked ingredients--though of course if it is unpasteurized it is a live food, as it has live cultures.
Anyway, I'm also curious about soaking seeds for 3 days; I would think seeds would rot (rather than ferment) if kept under water for that long, though I haven't tried it. Maybe the author can elaborate a little bit?
Thanks for the recipe!
Are you saying that only pastuerized miso will work? I only have unpastuerized. I would think it should not make a difference.
I didn't like blue cheese, but I love extra sharp NY cheddar.
are the seeds SOAKED for 3 days, or soaked (and sprouted) for 3 days?

I see it, but in the end, when the next draft will take place, they should decide who pick first and who last, and because there will be no season results to base that order, it would be interesting to know what they will take in consideration for deciding....I suppose they will decide based on the average drafting position of every tram on the last...say...5 years.
What you guys think about it ?
If so, where we will pick ?
It would be interesting to see......maybe Luck would not be so much out of reach.
Who know ...

Once again, we are being assaulted by the rude and juvenile behavior of a few. The Fourth of July was on Monday but in my neighborhood the explosions started on June 28 — and increased to such a level as to be unbearable. We were subjected to explosions that make my whole house shake.
I think it's time the city of Vancouver takes a closer look at the fireworks that are being sold. We do not need explosions of that size.
Sale and use of fireworks should be limited to the 4th only. Is that not the day they are intended for?

There don't seem to be enough hours in a day for many high school students, and crammed schedules can lead to sleep deprivation. When sleep deprived, people face grogginess, slowed reaction times and increased errors on visual tasks. "Students are sleep deprived for a variety of reasons," Edmond North psychology teacher Judi Shortt said. "School and homework consume a lot of time, not to mention after-school activities, employment for some, family and church activities and trying to squeeze in a social life." While everyone has their own individual sleep requirements to feel alert and be able to perform at a desired level, adolescents are recommended to get eight to 10 hours of sleep. On average, most get six and a half, according to the book "Psychology" by David G. Myers. "I'm involved in a lot of things at school that take up a majority of my time," said Hannah Rule, an Edmond Santa Fe High School junior. "I also have a boyfriend and like to spend time with him and I like hanging out with my friends. So by the time I've finished doing everything it's around midnight." With at least nine hours of sleep a night, people awake refreshed, sustain better moods and perform more efficient and accurate work, according to Myers' book. With a succession of five-hour nights, however, we accumulate a "sleep-debt" that is not paid off by one 10-hour sleep — which explains why we can feel sleepy even after a long sleep. "When students get limited sleep during the week they think they can play 'catch up' on the weekends by sleeping in," Shortt said. "They actually create this sleep debt which studies have shown is not made up by sleeping a couple extra hours on the weekend. Getting only around six and a half to seven hours of sleep each night during the school week instead of the 40 to 50 needed is like pulling an all-nighter. That can't be (made) up on Saturday morning." That is why establishing a consistent sleep routine is important. Going to sleep and getting up at about the same time throughout the entire week establishes a routine to which your body adjusts. Stress also plays an important factor in sleep deprivation, according to Myers' book. Most students are under a lot of stress, both self-imposed and due to situations out of their control — divorce and parents' loss of jobs being the main issues. "Usually throughout the day I encounter a lot of problems that I don't really start to think about until later in the night when I'm getting ready for bed," Rule said. "I usually start to focus on school drama and stuff like that when I'm laying down because I'm not doing anything but trying to fall asleep. But then I can't stop thinking and the thoughts dominate my mind, so I can't fall asleep." There are multiple factors that affect being able to fall asleep, however. Although falling asleep is often easier said than done, there are a few things a person can do to help get the proper sleep needed. Taking a looking at one's "pre-sleep" routine for example. "The easiest remedy is to limit caffeine intake, especially two to three hours before bedtime," Shortt said. "Exercising before wouldn't be good either because that arouses a variety of psychological responses. The biggest things, though, is being able to break away from technology. Students play video games, text and use other forms of media when they're trying to wind down which only stimulates the brain, the exact opposite of what one should be doing." Sleep loss also affects us in more subtle ways, including suppression of the disease-fighting immune system, according to Myers' book. Sleep deprivation suppresses immune cells that fight off viral infections. Chronic sleep debt also alters metabolic and hormonal functioning in ways that mimic aging and are conductive to obesity, hypertension and memory impairment. Other affects include irritability, slowed performance and impaired creativity, concentration and communication. "I think that if students were to sleep more it would solve a lot of problems," Rule said. "They would be able to work out arguments with friends, family and significant others better, or even avoid them all together; be able to focus better in class, increasing grades and decreasing punishment at home; and people would just be in a better mood, which can make everything better." If students feel they are doing all the right things but are still having difficulty sleeping, they should consult their family physician as adolescent sleep disorders are not uncommon.

Comments about 7 For All Mankind Luxe Performance: Brett Modern Bootcut with Clean Pocket in Deep Well:
So nice to find pant legs that are long enough. The industry has been erring towards shorter legs in recent years which is disappointing. I wish Seven assured all of their jeans had this long of length as other colors/washes of the same exact style (Brett Modern Bootcut) do not fit the same.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The invention is related to a method of removal of damaged interlevel dielectric or low-k material after trench etching prior to the metallization and during the dual damascene process.
Damascene in semiconductor manufacture is the process of interconnecting metal with the semiconductor device. These metal connections have to be established in a precise manner and interconnecting wires have to be isolated to avoid undesired interaction between the metal wires with other parts of the device.
In the early era of semiconductor manufacture, silica or silicate glasses were used as an insulator. As semiconductor devices became faster and thus smaller, metal connections on a device grew closer requiring that the insulating material (silicates) become thinner. However, build up of charges in the thin layers of insulating material can result in an undesired "crosstalk" between metal connectors. This charge build-up and crosstalk could be avoided by the use of insulating material with a dielectric constant less than 3.9, which are referred to as low k dielectrics.
Chemically, silicates or silicon dioxide are structures where each silicon atom is surrounded by four oxygen atoms. Thereby, the negative charges are predominantly located at the oxygen atoms and positive charges are located at the silicon atom. These charge separations contribute to the relative high dielectric constant of silica. A removal of oxygen in the silicate frame and replacement with groups such as alkyl radicals that do not induce a charge separation between the silicon atom and the alkyl moiety have the result of a lower dielectric constant. Another positive side effect is that these organic silica structures, so called siloxanes are more porous, i.e., less dense than its homologous silica and this contributes to an even lesser dielectric constant. Therefore, some insulation materials used in damascence are low-k Siloxanes, also referred to as SiLK or SiCOH materials.
Dual Damascence is a modified version of the damascene process. Here, prior to the metallization, the semiconductor structure is coated with SiCOH material. Then trenches for the metal connection are etched into the structure using commonly adapted etching methods, such as plasma etching. The etching process has a tendency to damage the SiCOH material resulting in the introduction of oxygen into the SiCOH material, which has the effect of elevating the dielectric constant. The chemical reaction can be described as:
In the past, the damage on the SiCOH material was removed using an aqueous dilution of hydrofluoric acid. However, dilute hydrofluoric acid also etches the low-k material, thus resulting in a widening of the trench. The aqueous solution also attacks other silicon containing parts of the device, e.g. masking layers such as TEOS oxides. Additionally, the penetration of the porous SiCOH material by the aqueous hydrofluoric acid solution may be intensified by capillary forces, thus resulting in a internal corrosion of the low-k material. Furthermore, the use of aqueous solutions may impede the homogenous removal of damage across the silicon wafer, since it is difficult to apply the solution uniformly across the surface. Additionally, in a solution based removal, the surface tension of liquid droplets distributed onto the wafer may result in a non-homogenous trim of the sidewalls of the newly formed trenches.
Accordingly, there exists a need in the art to overcome the deficiencies and limitations described hereinabove.
In a first aspect of the invention, a method for removing a plasma induced damaged layer of low-k dielectric material includes the deposition of a mixture that is generated from gaseous hydrofluoric acid and ammonia gas. The deposited mixture reacts with a surface comprising the damage and generates volatile reaction products. The method further includes the removal of these reaction products.
In a second aspect of the invention, a method for trimming a dual damascene structure of a semiconductor includes the deposition of a material generated from a dilute mixture of gaseous hydrofluoric acid and ammonia gas in a non-reactive diluent gas, followed by heating the structure. The method further includes the flushing of the dual damascene structure with a non-reactive flush gas.
In a third aspect, the invention includes a semiconductor device having a plasma etched dual damascene structure with an interlevel dielectric film (ILD) whereby damage to a surface of the plasma etched dual damascene structure is removed by depositing a controlled amount of gaseous hydrofluoric acid and ammonia gas onto the surface of the dual damascene structure.
The invention relates to a method designed to remove damage that results from etching processes during the formation of a structure, and more particularly to the removal of damage that occurs to the interlevel dielectric film (ILD) induced during plasma etching processes. In embodiments, the method includes the deposition of a material generated from gaseous hydrofluoric acid and ammonia gas onto the surface of the plasma etched dual damascene structures prior to metallization. In embodiments, the gaseous mixture of hydrofluoric acid and ammonia gas is diluted with a non-reactive diluent gas, such as noble gases (helium, neon, argon, xenon) or nitrogen.
A photoresist material 16 is formed and patterned on the layer 14, which protects the underlying material during the plasma etching process. Any commonly known method for applying the photoresist can be used with the invention. As should be understood, the etched trench can be about 100 nm, but smaller and larger sizes are within the scope of the invention.
In embodiments, the material is deposited from a mixture of hydrofluoric acid and ammonia gas present in a stochiometric ratio from 4:1 to 1:4, preferably 2:1 (HF:NH3); although, ratios outside these ranges are contemplated. In further embodiments, a combined partial pressure of the gaseous hydrofluoric acid, the ammonia gas and a non-reactive diluent gas is between 1 and 20 millitorr, preferably 10 to 15 millitorr, with other ranges contemplated by the invention. In one preferred embodiment, a 10 millitorr pressure can be achieved by a combination of approximately 5 millitorr hydrofluoric acid, 2.5 millitorr ammonia and 2.5 millitorr argon. In embodiments, the reduced pressure atmosphere eliminates surface tension of the HF as well as causes a retarded sublimation process to gain control of the amount of reactants being sublimed onto the surface.
The method further comprises providing a flow of non-reactive diluent gas into the system, with flow ranges up to about 400 cm3/min, and preferably between 0 and 250 cm3/min. (Other flow ranges are also contemplated by the invention.) It should be recognized that the flow of the non-reactive diluent gas increases the dilution of the gaseous mixture of the two reactive gases. Also, the dilution of the reactive gases results in a retardation of the deposition of the reactants, thereby permitting less material to sublime onto the surface thus allowing control of the amount of sublimed material and increased control of the removal of damaged material.
In an exemplary embodiment, as the deposited material forms on the device, a flow of argon enters the chamber at a rate up to about 250 cm3/min. This contributes to the controllability of the method due to a dilution of the reactive gases, ammonia and hydrofluoric acid. This may result in a slowdown or even cessation of the sublimation process.
In the embodiments of the invention, the hydrofluoric acid reacts with the ILD 14 and the barrier layer 12 forming volatile reaction products, such as fluorosilanes and ammonium hydroxide. A completion of the reaction as well as transfer of the reaction products and the unreacted sublimed material into the gas phase can be achieved by heating the structure to a critical temperature, between ambient and 200° C., and preferably 150° C. The formed gaseous phase of the volatile reaction products and unreacted hydrofluoric acid and ammonia is carried away from the chamber by either applying a vacuum or by flushing the system with a non-reactive flush gas such as, for example, argon or nitrogen. Flushing with a non-reactive flush gas may occur between 10 millitorr and atmospheric pressure, preferably 675 millitorr. In embodiments, a vacuum step can follow the flushing of the structure.
As material 20 sublimes onto the structure, a chemical reaction between the hydrofluoric acid and the damaged sidewall of SiCOH as well as the Si3N4 material occurs. Furthermore, the reactive sublimed material does not affect the elemental silicon of the wafer as well as the photoresist. In further embodiments, the method also includes that sublimation is carried out in the sublimation chamber but the reaction can be delayed or carried out in another chamber.
As should be understood, in embodiments, implementation of the invention (e.g., ratio of reactive gas mixtures, diluent gases, pressure, flow, temperatures, and removal of reaction products) can be applied in a method for trimming a dual damascene structure after plasma etching. That is, by using the method of the invention, a trench or via, with damaged sidewalls, can be trimmed to clean the damage from the walls. In the processes described herein, the trimming can be controlled precisely by the use of different pressures and temperatures; that is, for example, an increased etch rate may be achieved by increasing the pressure conditions. Likewise, an increased etch rate may be achieved by decreasing the diluent gas, for example, argon.
In this representation, the combined reduced pressure is 10 millitorr, partially distributed to 50% (5 millitorr) hydrofluoric acid (HF), 25% (2.5 millitorr) ammonia (NH3), with the remainder being argon (25%, 2.5 millitorr). Measure points depicted as rhombuses show the amount trimmed (x-axis) when these conditions are applied at various argon flows followed by heating (to 150° C.) and flushing. For example, if these conditions (10 millitorr, 50 HF/25 NH3) are applied for two minutes at an argon flow of, for example, 25 cm3/min., the size trimmed from the sidewalls of the low-k material is about 10 nm. 14 mT, 14 HF/7 NH3.
In this representation, the reduced pressure ranges at around 14 millitorr combined from 14% (˜2.2 millitorr) hydrofluoric acid gas 7% (˜1.1 millitorr NH3) and the remainder argon. Once generated in the reaction chamber, a trim size between 2 and 6 nm can be achieved by adjusting the flow of argon between about 40 cm3/min and 225 cm3/min.
While the invention has been described in terms of embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with the modification within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. For example, the invention can be readily applicable to bulk substrates.

Morsi Meets Merkel: Visit Dashes Hopes for Quick Aid
Right in the middle of the biggest crisis of his presidency, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi has come to Germany. Morsi had been hoping Berlin would forgive hundreds of millions of euros in debt. He ended up getting something far less tangible: advice on how to run his country.
Mohammed Morsi is unlikely to be satisfied with the outcome of his visit to Berlin on Wednesday. Even though the Egyptian president was at his most statesman-like, the trip did little to help him.
But Merkel failed to respond as Morsi would have liked, refraining from any mention of forgiving Egypt's debt by some 240 million ($324 million), as Berlin had earlier suggested it might do. Nor was any mention made of any new development aid projects to be launched by Germany in Egypt. What Merkel did have to offer was advice.
On the evening prior to Morsi's visit, the German Foreign Ministry released a new travel warning, advising Germans to stay away from the Egyptian Museum in central Cairo, one of the most visited sites in the country. Before the revolution, more than a million Germans vacationed in Egypt every year. Today, officials in Cairo are happy to attract half as many.
Morsi tried to shore up confidence in Berlin. He needs to bring German investors and tourists back to Egypt if the economy is to recover. Yet it's unclear whether the president is even capable of controlling the ongoing violence in his country.
'A Worrying Intensification of Violence'
"On the one hand, you're seeing political demonstrations, but there's also a growing number of protests unrelated to politics," Stephan Roll, an expert on Egypt at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP), told SPIEGEL ONLINE. But the latter type of protest is much more unwieldy. How is the president to grant concessions when the protesters make no political demands?
Egypt's military chief warned on Tuesday the violence could result in "a collapse of the state." Roll said the Egyptian government is quickly losing its legitimacy. "A large part of the population is completely turning away in a general skepticism of politics." Such words don't sound like a vote of confidence.
"My hope is that there will end up being concessions on the constitution, but that has yet to happen," Roll said. "Both sides have to show they're willing to compromise -- not just Morsi, but the opposition, too."

A former member of President Obama's Executive Office recently accepted a position teaching at New York University. The former Executive Director of the Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, Joshua DuBois resigned from Obama's office in February 2013 to write a book of presidential devotionals (The President's Devotional: The Daily Readings That Inspired President Obama, published by HarperOne) and to found an organization to form church partnerships with public, private, and nonprofit organizations called Values Partnerships. He also writes a column for The Daily Beast. DuBois was also the religious affairs director for Obama's presidential campaign in 2008, as well as working for him during his term in the Senate.
DuBois was one of the longest serving aides to Obama, and was responsible for nonprofit and faith-based organizations around the U.S. He is an expert on the intersection of religion and public life. He has been written about in many news sources, including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN, and others. He also expanded the office to do more than it had previously; he began tackling issues such as teen pregnancy, child poverty, absentee fathers, and the economy.
DuBois' father, Antoni Sinkfield, is a Methodist Episcopal pastor, and he grew up in the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Nashville, TN. Before working for Obama, DuBois served as the Associate Pastor at a Pentecostal church in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He holds a Masters degree in Public Affairs from Princeton and a Bachelor's in Political Science from Boston University. The story of DuBois is unique, because he decided he would like to work for Obama while watching the Senator's 2004 Democratic convention speech, which was concluded by Obama saying that we worship "an awesome God." DuBois drove to Chicago from New Jersey and met with people until someone introduced him to Obama. He was hired on as a legislative aide, and began advising him on faith-based issues. At one point, he asked Obama if he would like DuBois to send him daily devotionals, and Obama said yes.
During his time working for Obama, DuBois would send daily devotionals via phone to Obama, which included scripture. These devotionals are what will make up the book being published. When he resigned, the President said of DuBois at the National Prayer Breakfast:
"Joshua has been at my side, in work and in prayer, for years now. He is a young reverend, but wise in years...Every morning he sends me via email a daily meditation—a snippet of Scripture for me to reflect on. And it has meant the world to me. And despite my pleas, tomorrow will be his last day in the White House."
In an interview with Christianity Today (2009), DuBois told about Obama's faith-based initiatives, which expanded on those of former President George W. Bush. The mission of the Obama administration was "reducing poverty, reducing the need for abortion, encouraging responsible fatherhood, and working with the National Security Council to foster interfaith dialogue around the world." A change that Obama made in the Office of Faith-Based Initiatives was creating a 25-member cabinet of advisors. Some of these advisors include Rev. Frank Page, former president of the Southern Baptist Convention; Bishop Vashti McKenzie, first female Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church; Rev. Joel Hunter, the senior pastor of Northland church in Orlando, Florida; Judith Vredenburgh, CEO of Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America; and Rabbi David Saperstein, head of the DC Religious Action Center of Reform Judiasm.
In an ABC News interview, DuBois said described Obama as "a deeply faithful president [who] didn't need a whole bunch of help cultivating that faith." While Obama's faith practice is not overly publicized, the President attends church as often as possible, as well as holding private sessions with pastors. He also tries to live out his faith in the way he does his job and lives his life, by spending quality time with his family. Obama not only read the devotionals sent via BlackBerry, but also requested of DuBois scripture to help him in making specific decisions; for instance, reading the book of Job and reflecting on trails. The President also read Isaiah and the prophets, as well as books by Christian authors like C.S. Lewis. The most difficult time spiritually for Obama was the experience of the Newton, Connecticut shooting during the President's first term. He used 2 Corinthians 4:16-21 to help him in comforting the families.
While there are many critics and skeptics of the faith and beliefs of the President, Obama knows people will believe all kinds of things and simply tries to live out his faith in the best way possible. DuBois said, "All the president can do is live out his Christian walk every single day. The detractors will do their detracting, but at the end of the day it's about his relationship with God and that relationship, from all that I can tell, is strong." Many people believe that Washington, D.C. is full of people who are not only non-Christians, but against Christianity and religion in general. This, DuBois writes, is completely untrue; people who work in government try to balance their faith with their careers. There are many people of strong faith in the capitol; read DuBois' article The Secret Faith of Washington.
