Real Madrid Manager Carlo Ancelotti was in the midst of giving a calm, measured response to a question about his teams tactics when the door to the news conference room burst open. Suddenly, seven of Ancelottis players were on the dais with him, jumping around, singing and spraying Champagne.
Ancelotti laughed. In some ways it was fitting: A news conference invasion was the perfect ending to a bizarre but magical evening that had a miraculous goal, a memorable kiss and a rich finish from the sports most expensive player as Real Madrid won the first intracity Champions League final by beating Atlético Madrid, 4-1, after extra time.
Real Madrid fans are extremely happy, Ancelotti said, and thats why we are happy, too.
Even a placid Italian like Ancelotti would acknowledge that was putting it lightly. At the final whistle, while his Real teammates skipped around the field, Gareth Bale put his hands to his face as if in disbelief. He was surely not alone the twists and curves at the Estadio da Luz on Saturday came so fast as to be unbelievable, with Bales goal in the 110th minute allowing Real to finally claim the clubs coveted 10th European title La Decima.
The swollen final score belied the drama. Atlético, the scrappy second team of the Spanish capital with a payroll about a quarter the size of its neighbours, was seconds away from winning its first Champions League trophy only to have it ripped away when Sergio Ramoss desperate header found the corner of the net in the 93rd minute.
Sweat, warmth and kisses
Moments later, at the end of regulation, Real goalkeeper Iker Casillas whose mistake had helped Atlético take its lead wrapped his arms around Ramos and kissed his sweaty cheek.
During a television interview after the match, Ramos said that Casillas told him, You are the chief, including an expletive for emphasis. I would have liked Ramoss goal a bit earlier, Reals president, Florentino Pérez, said, so as to avoid a heart attack.
Atlético Manager Diego Simeone tried to rally his players after the letdown, screaming at them in the huddle before extra time. But without their top attacker, Diego Costa, who was replaced after just nine minutes because of an injured hamstring, there was no way back for the red-and-white-striped Rojiblancos, who were seeking an unlikely double after winning the Spanish league.
Real dominated the extra periods, and appropriately enough it

Mine's Bigger Than Yours
Kaplan, David A., Newsweek International
In a battle of egos on the high seas, size counts. Three Americans go at it to see who can build the ultimate sailing yacht.
Tom Perkins, the legendary Silicon Valley venture capitalist, had a dream. It wasn't to get rich, acquire power or marry into fame. He'd done all that, as part of a larger-than-life life. His firm, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, remains the most celebrated money machine since the Medicis. He'd help found Genentech--the first biotech company--and fund Google, the darling of the Internet age. In 2006, his resignation from the Hewlett-Packard board triggered the revelation of a spying scandal that dominated the front pages for weeks. And along the way, he managed to get himself convicted of involuntary manslaughter in France and to become novelist Danielle Steel's ex-husband No. 5.
But when he hit his 70s at the turn of the century, Perkins became obsessed with creating the world's biggest, fastest, highest-tech, most self-indulgent sailboat--what he described as "the perfect yacht." He fantasized about a modern clipper ship, as long as a football field, 14 meters wide, with three masts each rising 20 stories toward the heavens. So he had it built.
The $130 million square-rigger--the Maltese Falcon--evokes the era of magnificent vessels that raced across the oceans in the 19th century. Yet the Falcon is more than a tribute to the past. Gone are the scores of deckhands who climb the yardarms. Gone is the intricate rigging that gave the square-riggers their impressive look. Instead, the Falcon's giant carbon-fiber masts are entirely free-standing and rotate by computer. The 15 huge sails unfurl at the touch of a screen. And the bridge is something out of "Star Trek." It's a revolutionary machine, representing the most significant advances in sailing in 150 years. Perkins recently put the vessel up for sale, but the story behind it reveals the boundless ego of a nonpareil entrepreneur, embodying the best, as well as the most absurd, of the wealth race.
From the start, Perkins faced competition. Sailboats of 50 meters or so were no longer novel. Strong, light materials like carbon fiber had gotten cheaper, and it was logical to assume other people with overflowing bank accounts might be dreaming of the first sailing megayacht, nearing 70 meters or more. Chief among them: Jim Clark, who had launched three billion-dollar Silicon Valley start-ups (including Netscape), and Joe Vittoria, who made a fortune when he led a buyout of Avis in the 1980s. Clark had in mind an enormous gaff-rigged schooner, which he'd name Athena. Vittoria planned the largest sloop ever, Mirabella V, with a mast that was higher than the boat was long. Perkins, Vittoria and Clark were the Vanderbilts of the new yachting age--each with a very different boat, each with his own exemplar of conspicuous construction.
The only thing funnier than listening to them trying to find out how big the other guy's next boat was going to be was them explaining how uninterested they were in the comparisons. When Clark found out Perkins was considering a replacement for his 51-meter ketch, he set out to find out how long it would be, for he, too, was shopping for a new boat. When the two next saw each other, Perkins graciously obliged him and let him know that Perkins's next boat was going to be -- a few meters shorter than it really was. "That's how I made sure the Falcon was going to be longer," Perkins gleefully recalled.
Clark eventually learned of Perkins's head-fake and went bananas when he next saw Wolter Huisman, the owner of the revered Dutch shipyard that was building Clark's new boat. Huisman told Clark that it was too late to make Athena's hull longer. Clark could console himself only with the fact that if you included his 10-meter stainless-steel bowsprit as part of the length, then his was bigger than anybody else's--even though nobody included a bowsprit in a boat's length. Typically, you measured along the water line (where the Falcon was longer) or, most likely, along the deck, in which case the Falcon's 96 meters far exceeded Athena's 84 meters. …

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

I am new to Clojure, and am beginning to experiment with building an application.
So far, everything I've seen about tutorials on compiling Clojure programs involves interactivity. For example, "load up the REPL and type (load-file "this-or-that") to run. This is fine, but it's not enough.
I am so used to the edit-compile-run idioms of languages like C or Delphi, that I am instinctively driven to make edits, then hit "M-x compile".
The problem is that "lein uberjar", which I understand is the equivalent to "make", is painfully slow to execute even for a hello world. So I'm going to have to figure out how this "interactive development" stuff works, stop using the uberjar like it's quick make, and save it only for the end of the day.
Another thing I noticed while building (using lein uberjar) is that the small GUI app I am working on pops up frames in the compilation process, as if they are executing while compiling. It just seems a bit counterintuitive to me; it is not quite as analogous to "make" as I had thought.
I know the Lisp way of developing things is interactively working in the REPL, and I am not trying to change that: I would like to adapt to this way of life. Unfortunately, I have seen little in the form of documentation on how to do so. For instance, how to reset the current state of the machine. It just seems kind of messy to just keep compiling individual snippets on the fly without being able to do some sort of reset.
Most tutorials I have seen on Clojure (and Lisp) in general seem to focus on hacking in the REPL. Best practices on the deployment of applications remains a mystery to me. My users are just going to be users; they are not going to be developers that are going to load files into a REPL.
So here is my question: any resources for good information or tutorials on the entire process of building a Clojure application, including deployment?
(Note: I have all of the prerequisites installed and working (e.g. Emacs, Slime, Leiningen, etc.), so this is not a question about that).

Samuel Stroope
Sociology Doctoral Student
Baylor Sociology Doctoral Student Wins National Award for Research on Views of Scripture as Tied to Education Levels in CongregationsDoctoral student Samuel Stroope has been named recipient of an award given by
the Association for the Sociology of Religion for outstanding student paper of the
year. Stroope is the 2011 winner of the Robert J. McNamara Student Paper Award
for his paper "Education and Religion: Individual, Congregational, and Cross-Level Interaction Effects on Biblical Literalism." Using a large national data set, the paper
finds that an individual's view of the Bible as to be taken literally word-for-word is
linked to an individual's educational attainment and that of his or her fellow
congregants. Furthermore, education levels for the person and the congregation
build upon one another to make the affirmation of biblical literalism less likely. The
paper has been accepted for publication in the journal Social Science Research and
will appear in the fall. The committee selected the paper "because it examined an interesting topic and had a strong discussion of the findings and implications," said
Dr. Rachel Kraus, committee chair and associate professor of sociology at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. "In addition, Sam's paper had a strong structural component to the analysis and did an exceptionally good job attempting to explain,
rather than describe, social phenomena using empirical data."

Screw Holly and this achievement. I have been through the game 8 times already and still no holly. To Mr. DeathMetal, you have more patience than I do for this achievement. I am glad you got your achievement, but it sucks that it took you 16 tries to find the frigging woman.
I am on 8 tries now and I am giving up on her and this achievement. I am not wasting any more time on her. Also I would like to add in, that every time I come to the diner scavenge section which is 1 time in every playthrough so far, there have been walkers walking around...But according to this site and at trueachievements the walkers are posed to be gone completely from the map or all lying on the ground/ floor whatever and already dead. But apparently the game loves giving me the walking bags of crap everytime

@ Number 18: I tried ur advice and instead of letting me try that same place again, it automatically took me into barksdale. I dont know how you was able to retry the same area over and over again. But it clearly did not let me do the same.So Id like to know how you pulled that off. Meaning getting to retry the same area.Because clearly its not working for me..

Monday, March 25, 2013 @ 09:43:38 AM
@#23 That never works. What I do is, whenever I'm traveling from one town to the next. I make the couple stops at places, Then once I hear them start talking I dashboard it. Then load the game back up and I'm still at the same location I started at. That's the best way to do it.

@ 24, I will definately give that idea a try..And I appreciate you giving me another option to try. I am at wits end with this achievement. One last question, do you have to travel with them to at least 1 other location or do you need to take them to the end of the game to get the achieve?
And thanks again for replying to my problem. I hope your idea works..
One last thing when you encountered holly, did you have any moving zombies in that area or were they all dead? I am just curious.
|Comment #27 by EricCrisis
Monday, March 25, 2013 @ 10:15:23 AM
@#26 Yes, all you have to do is travel with them to another location. And when I found Holly there were no Walkers in the area, they were all dead.. And I found her within Cleburne and Lemon Hill, which is also where I found Ahmad Farran. Both using the Highway.

Does anyone know if the traveling has to be to a marked location? For instance I find someone at an unmarked location, and then find someone else at a second unmarked location, but both of those are before the next marked location. If I dismiss the first survivor I found to make room for the second does that count as a travel?

Sunday, April 07, 2013 @ 05:41:24 PM
Just got this!!! Just wanna thank everyone here for the help. I wrote down where i found the random survivors exactly which roads I found them and which method I took to get there.
Ahmad: Everyone seems to be having trouble with him, but I found him pretty easily. Basically you find him between Fontana and Barksdale. I found him twice but the first time I was trying to unlock the relics so i had to dismiss him. The trick is to use the backroads. That's all I used and that's how I found him.
Sarah Bell: I found her between Sedalina and Garwater using the highways. She's gonna be at the stop that says "This town has supplies" NOT THE TRUCKSTOP. I got confused there since there's gas stations in both of those unmarked destinations. Go up the ladder on the side of the station & there sh

Sunday, April 07, 2013 @ 05:42:28 PM
Gloria Garcia: I got her on the road between Lafferty and Polksville using Highways. She's gonna be on top of the train and you have to clear out EVERY walker or else she won't come with you.
Shelley: She was an absolute pain in the ass. I got her from Lafferty to Polksville as well using the highways. Break down the fence by the blue pickup truck and enter the house & she's in a baricaded room. Remember to get her your mission has to be to get supplies from the town. If you've broken down or ran out of gas it WON'T work. I went to her location on both of those and she wasn't there.
Holly: The biggest pain of all. I got her between the road to Fontana and Clerburne (the hospital). She's at the diner location and there are NO walkers. If you have walkers, then dashboard out. She's in

a farmhouse to the left of the road & you'll find her in the room.
These were the ones that were the most difficult to find. Every other survivor you need is at a marked destination so if they're not part of the story just look around the locations for them. Sorry for the long ass and cut off comments. Just hope they help you out!!

Saturday, April 13, 2013 @ 11:08:30 PM
So, I used the above helpful post by JerseyHyena to narrow down where these bastards SHOULD be. Was taking the highway the whole time, and when the car broke down (tire blew for me, but doesn't matter) on the way to lemon hill, I entered the area where I was supposed to get the tire, paused and quit to menu. Continued game, but this time took backroad instead of highway to that one destination. Instead of tire blowing, I got a scavenge chance. Same thing, paused, quit, continued. After 5 attempts, my final evasive F*cker Ahmad showed up. Found Gloria the same way. Ahmad was found taking the LEFT path (hospital way) and GLoria was found taking the RIGHT path (Saw Mill Path).
Hope this helps.

Two hours later finally found him....
Here is something else I found super useful.
When doing these, make sure you have a tiny bit of fuel.
That was no matter what you stop for gas.
This prevents multiple dashboards and waiting for the game to load.
You can just save and quite no matter what then.

Do you have to finish the game with the optional survivors or can I travel with them then dump to save on playthroughs?

Sunday, April 21, 2013 @ 04:46:39 AM
Just a little tip:
When you are going for a specific "optional survivor" you don't need to hit the dashboard every time you get to a location that doesn't have the survivor you looking for. Just when the "dialogue" pops up. I always go into the location even if its not the place I am looking for. Upon "entering location" I hit pause then exit to menu. Hit "Continue" game and it will start your trip over. For Example: I did this about 10 times when going for "Holly Gaines" from "Fontana to Cleburne" I am not sure but every time I found her going on the back roads. I found her 3 times. Had to dismiss her going for the guys only cheevo. Anyways, just thought I'd save you some dashboard trips, It's more time consuming than exiting to the menu and just as effective...

Sunday, April 21, 2013 @ 06:49:56 AM
Okay to answer my own question, No I don't think you have to keep the "optional survivors" to the end. The reason I think this is because I finished the little side mission "protect gloria" and it popped after she thanked me for saving her. Plus I had shelly and Holly in the car. So, no I do not think you have to save them to the end like you did with the relic survivors. Hope this helps someone. 50/50 done!!!

If you find one survivor in the road between too marked locations and you still need to find one more survivor but you are about to reach the next marked location, if I dash out will the survivor I just found not count any more?

Hello all. I had actually JUST finished this game. Very easy. Only 2 nights of playing.
For this. You only need to encounter them. Like given the choice to have them you don't even need to have them travel with you. I know from experience. My first play through I met Gloria on the train and I didn't choose to travel with her. But I helped her. And my last one was Shelly. I only met her in the house when the achievement popped.

so mine glitched going into the final level. I went with 4 female survivors and no achievement for either popped, i looked at my GS and it said 0! I signed out and then back in and hit continue, during the road map/loading page the Rosie the Rampager popped but not Every Man... So i started a new game and as soon as got into the truck with Jess it finally popped for me. So, if anyone else has a problem with it and they are sure they had them all try replaying the first level.

If you guys are having trouble, always take the backroads. It may consume a lot of gas but you'll eventually find everyone.

Rumsfeld Defends Military Operations in Iraq
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and the Bush administration's top commanders tell Congress that the war in Iraq has been a difficult, dangerous and tough business, but that it is not a quagmire. But Rumsfeld refused to set a deadline for withdrawal, and Army Gen. John Abizaid admitted that the insurgency's strength has not diminished.

ANITA, Iowa | This town of fewer than 1,000 about 65 miles west of Des Moines in southwestern Cass County seems an unlikely spot for one of Iowa's fastest-growing school systems.
There's the new building — a metal-sided multipurpose structure that could just as easily house a veterinary office or an implement store as anything else — with enough parking space for maybe 10 vehicles depending on how you pack them.
There's no playground, no bus stop, no evidence that 330 Iowa schoolchildren consider this their school, even though they might never step through its front door.
Iowa Connections Academy opened for business in Anita in the fall of 2012. Iowa Virtual Academy did the same in Guttenberg and has 190 students. Both are run by out-of-state education corporations that took advantage of Iowa's open enrollment law, reliable communication technology and a governor eager to shake up the state's education system.
Now, with a March 1 deadline to open enroll for the 2014-15 school year, both schools are in the midst of heavy student-recruitment campaigns.
"We consider ourselves an Iowa school," Connections Academy Principal James Brauer said during a tour of the Anita school building last week. "We will do everything the Iowa codes indicate are the expectations of an Iowa school. Even with our own company, I've made it very, very clear, we are more of an Iowa school more than we are a (Connections Academy) school."
Meanwhile, the first year's test scores have come out, and some lawmakers are pushing for more access for online school companies.
Inside the school
"OK, OK, very good," Christina Haas says encouragingly into the speaker. She's sitting in an office chair set in a high-walled cubicle looking at a pair of computer monitors. On the other end of the line is one of her students from somewhere in Iowa — Haas can't share any identifying characteristics of the child lest she run afoul of state privacy laws — who is working through a lesson.
Haas is the newest member of the Connections Academy staff, which includes two elementary teachers, six middle and high school teachers and six adjunct teachers. Some work from home; others, including Haas, typically make the trek to the Connections Academy building. Connections Academy schools are a division of the Pearson curriculum and testing company. A company called K12 oversees the Iowa Virtual Academy.
Haas joined the school in October after working in "an early intervention setting" in Pennsylvania. She likes the individual attention she says this setup allows her to give to her students.
"I really feel like there's a good relationship between the teachers and the students, even one that's stronger than what you'd see in a brick-and-mortar setting, because they are able to work directly with me," she said. "Unfortunately, there's not always the same connection between peers, but that's something we really work to build."
Connections Academy gives Brauer the ability to track much of what Haas and the other teachers do during the workday. He can monitor how much time Haas spends talking with students live and how much she messages each day. Student worksheets, contacts per teacher and the speed at which they move through lessons are all available to him with a few keystrokes.
Students at Iowa Connections Academy did, on average, better than their peers on state standardized tests in 2012-13. Students at Iowa Virtual Academy did slightly worse than their statewide counterparts that same school year.
Those scores were among the data the Iowa Department of Education released in its first annual report on Iowa's two virtual schools in late January. The report, like the requirement that online schools partner with existing school districts, enrollment caps and other regulations, were imposed by the General Assembly when it decided the two schools would take part in the state's three-year pilot program for online schools.
"I would tell them not to feel bad that you didn't reach what you set out to do because we're only talking about one year of data," said Tammy Wawro, president of the Iowa State Education Association when asked about the Department of Education report.
Wawro is more concerned about survey results that show roughly 8 percent of the online schools' fourth- through 12th-graders and 12 percent of the kindergarten through third-graders said they didn't know or weren't sure how well they were doing in their classes.
She said there's "absolutely a role for a public school online academy," but she's not convinced the state's current model is it.
"I think we all have a right to be concerned," she said.
Expansion plans
Amanda Brezina, a music teacher for Iowa Virtual Academy who has her two school-age children enrolled in the school, said the model is exactly what her family wanted. She's a former traditional public school teacher who is working toward her doctorate in education. She likes that Iowa Virtual Academy has a curriculum that has to meet state standards and characterized its offerings as "definitely rigorous."
"Children aren't just sitting in front of a computer all day," she said. "There are online components, there are online classes, but it's not just online."
Brezina told lawmakers just as much last week during a subcommittee hearing on House Study Bill 610. The bill would, among other things, expand the opportunities for private companies like Connections and K12 to operate in the state by allowing them to partner with charter schools or set up on their own.
Currently, the online companies pay a $50,000 base fee to their host districts and provide a small percentage of the per-pupil state aid they receive — $6,121 for fiscal year 2014 — to the home district as well.
"I always want to provide as many options for parents as I can, and I feel the online program serves one of those options for parents," said state Rep. Ron Jorgensen, R-Sioux City, who serves as chairman of the House Education Committee and introduced the bill last week.
He said the bill needs some more work before it's ready to move. The Iowa Association of School Boards, the Iowa State Education Association and the Interfaith Alliance of Iowa Action Fund are among the groups registered against it. StudentsFirst, an education reform group, is registered for it.
"This legislation takes (online education) to the next step," he said. "If we do nothing right now and don't have a plan in place when the three years is over, it will just fizzle out."
Gov. Terry Branstad's administration, which pushed online education as part of the 2012 education reform package, took a wait-and-see position on the bill.
"Since we are in the second year of the three-year pilot, we want to wait until the end of the third year to assess how the two programs worked," Linda Fandel, Branstad's special adviser on education, wrote in an email.
Brauer, likewise, didn't want to comment on the bill, but, he noted, Connections Academy has more inquires now than it did at the same time last year. He's a former special education teacher and assistant principal who worked in a few Kansas school districts before going to work in Anita, which is his wife's hometown.
It's a point of pride that his students beat the state averages last school year. The 2013-14 test results are coming in now, and Brauer said the scores compare favorably again.
But, he emphasized, while online education works well for some children, it's not for every child.
His children, the oldest of whom will enter school in a couple of years, included.
"We know that for a student to attend an online model, there has to be a learning coach, a caretaker, a parent that's available at home, especially at those elementary ages," he said. "Because of that and because we still want to be great parents, but we also have professional goals, I don't know if we could."

Water4 offers photo contest with Grammy Award winning singer Sandi Patty as co-judge
Oklahoma-based charity Water4 is inviting Facebook friends, Twitter and Instagram followers and Pinterest pinners to express their gratitude for the free flowing water they are fortunate enough to enjoy by uploading personal photos and videos which express the answer to the question, What Does Water Mean to You?
For each photo submitted, a generous donor has pledged to make a contribution of $5 in the submitter's name to Water4. Further, anyone, including a submitter, who makes a $5 donation to Water4 during the contest will have their $5 donation matched by the same donor, according to a news release.
The contest was launched earlier this month and continues until midnight Dec. 31.
Water4 co-founders Richard and Terri Greenly and Grammy Award-winning Christian singer and Water4 supporter Sandi Patty will choose the best three photo submissions. The three photo contest winners each will receive the honor of having a well dug and a pump installed and named for their families. Also, each of the winners will receive four hand-crafted fair-trade bracelets purchased from women in Dehli, India to share with their family members.
In 1901, Water4 co-founder Terri Greenly's great-grandmother won a dry plot of land in the lottery, instilling in the family the importance of having access to fresh water and leading them to learn how to pump their own. They went on to use their knowledge and experience in the water well industry to help address the world water crisis and in 2008, Richard and Terri Greenly founded Water4 to endeavor to end the world water crisis. Most Americans are blessed with clean water today, but every 22 seconds around the world a child dies from preventable water-related disease, according to the release.
"Terri and I are thrilled to host this contest to raise awareness and support for Water4 and for the solution to the little known, worst crisis of humanity, the lack of clean drinking water to the bottom billion in the world. For the first time in history, this solution to fixing the world's water crisis (4000+ child deaths per day) is within our grasp," says Richard Greenly in the release.
"It is an honor for me to co-host this contest with Richard and Terri Greenly and Water4 and to help bring attention to this issue which is important to every person on this planet," said Patty, who resides in the Deer Creek area of Oklahoma County, in the release.
"Water4 offers a simple and sustainable solution to the water crisis by not just getting clean water to people but by teaching them to get clean water to themselves. The holiday season gives us the chance to give back and show how grateful we are for the good fortune with which we have been graced, to do something to help those who haven't been as lucky as we."

Often in display devices, it is useful to incorporate electronic components onto the glass substrate used in the display device. This is the case in liquid crystal display (LCD) devices. In LCD devices, a layer of liquid crystal material is modulated by voltages, which are generated by transistor arrays. Often, the transistors are thin-film transistors (TFT), and are complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices.
The LCD displays often comprise a glass substrate with the transistors formed over the glass substrate, and beneath a layer of LC material. The transistors are arranged in a patterned array, and are driven by peripheral circuitry to provide to switch on desired voltages to orient the molecules of the LC material in the desired manner.
The transistors of the display are often formed from a semiconductor material disposed directly on or over the glass substrate. Because the mobility the carriers of a semiconductor is generally greater in polycrystalline materials compared to amorphous materials, it is beneficial to grow polycrystalline semiconductor layers on or over the glass substrate of the LCD display. For example, higher mobility carriers enable faster transistors for video applications. Alternatively, the higher mobility enables reduced feature-size transistors, which facilitates creation of higher aspect ratio displays.
In addition to the referenced benefits of fabricating polycrystalline materials and devices on a glass display surface, the creation of polycrystalline (e.g. polysilicon or 'poly') transistors on the glass display surface enables the creation of driver circuitry directly on the display, thereby eliminating the need for Tape Automated Bonding (TAB) connections and their attendant poor reliability. Moreover, if the display is based on organic light emitting devices (OLED'S), it is beneficial to incorporate poly transistors to supply the relatively high current requirements of the OLED's.
A significant drawback to growth of poly on glass substrates is the comparatively high temperatures the growth sequences require. While strides have been made to reduce the growth temperature of poly, it is often necessary to pre-anneal the glass substrate to thermally stabilize the glass for subsequent poly processing. This thermal processing, as well as other thermal processing can alter the physical structure of the glass. For example, the glass may expand or contract as a result of the processing.
One measure of the alteration of the glass by thermal processing is known as glass strain, which is known as compaction when negative and expansion when positive. The glass strain is proportional to the change in fictive temperature, which is the temperature of the glass when the molecular structure reaches a certain state of order. At high glass temperatures the fictive temperature equals the ordinary glass temperature because the glass is able to equilibrate very quickly with its ambient temperature. As the temperature is reduced, the glass viscosity rises exponentially with falling temperature and the speed of glass equilibration is dramatically reduced.
Thus, as the temperature is reduced, the glass "falls out of equilibrium" because of its inability to maintain equilibrium as the temperature changes. In this case the fictive temperature lags thermal temperature, and ultimately the fictive temperature 'stalls' at some higher temperature at which the glass no longer could equilibrate quickly enough to keep up with its cooling rate. The final fictive temperature will depend on how quickly the glass was cooled, and will typically be in the range of approximately 600° C. to approximately 800° C. for LCD substrate glass at room temperature.
As can be appreciated, therefore, the fictive temperature depends on the thermal history of the glass. As such, the compaction and expansion depends on the thermal history of the glass. The strain, which is proportional to the difference in the distance between two marks on a glass substrate before and after a heat treatment cycle divided by the distance before, must remain within a specified value that is set by the user. For example, in LCD display systems, the display substrate is normally required to have a glass strain having an absolute value of approximately 10 ppm, often a compaction level between approximately −10 ppm and approximately 0 ppm. Compaction values with magnitude greater than approximately 10 ppm can result in misalignment and mis-registration of overlapping patterns in an LCD display, resulting in image distortion, for example.
A significant problem remains to curb the glass strain in a glass substrate throughout its processing to the final product that implements the glass. For example, as referenced above, in applications where it is necessary to grow polycrystalline semiconductor materials on the glass using thermal treatments, the resultant compaction may be too great.
What is needed therefore is a method and apparatus that addresses the drawbacks of glass strain caused by thermal cycling in processing the glass.
In accordance with an example embodiment, method of determining parameters of plurality of thermal cycles to achieve a set glass strain level includes providing a plurality of input parameters for a glass substrate and a plurality of parameters for a plurality of thermal cycles. The method also includes iteratively modifying at least one of the plurality of thermal cycle parameters so the glass strain is not greater than the set glass strain level after a final thermal cycle is completed.
The invention is best understood from the following detailed description when read with the accompanying drawing figures. It is emphasized that the various features are not necessarily drawn to scale. In fact, the dimensions may be arbitrarily increased or decreased for clarity of discussion.
In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, example embodiments disclosing specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to one having ordinary skill in the art having had the benefit of the present disclosure, that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from the specific details disclosed herein. Moreover, descriptions of well-known devices, methods and materials may be omitted so as to not obscure the description of the present invention.
According to an example embodiment, a method of determining the parameters of the heating cycles used in growing polycrystalline materials so that maintaining a glass strain (e.g., compaction) of a glass substrate below a set value after a final thermal processing cycle includes determining a penalty function and performing a simulated annealing by iteratively varying at least one input processing parameter to minimize the penalty function. It is noted, however, that the methods of the example embodiments are applicable to other glass processing techniques and potentially other processing techniques where an optimization of a parameter is useful. As such, example embodiments useful in the growth of polycrystalline materials (e.g., silicon) described are intended to be illustrative and in no way limiting.
This penalty function is defined so as to return a small value when glass strain is within desired limits and a progressively larger value when glass strain approaches or exceeds desired limits. The penalty function may further include mathematical terms relating to desirable or less desirable processing conditions. For example, the penalty function may return a larger value for excessively high-temperature thermal processing cycles for the glass manufacturer, but lower values for more easily used lower temperatures. Further, the penalty function may return larger values for longer times of processing by the glass manufacturer (representing the greater cost of longer-time processing), and lower values for shorter processing times. A synonym for penalty function is "cost function". It is designed to best represent the cost of manufacturer processing and also the cost associated with glass that does not meet the spec for thermally-induced strain. The overall magnitude of the penalty function is relative; it is important that its minimum value represent a most desirable operating condition.
As will become clearer as the present description proceeds, the penalty function of the example embodiments is used to provide a way to compare among different choices of thermal processing. The comparison among these choices and the ultimate selection of a "best choice" or optimal process is performed using an iterative computer optimization algorithm such as simulated annealing.
As mentioned, it is useful to fabricate polycrystalline semiconductor materials over the glass. According to an example embodiment methods of choosing processing parameters to minimize glass strain are exceedingly useful in achieving this desired end. To this end, during the growth of polycrystalline material, the glass substrate undergoes certain thermal processing cycles before being sent to the manufacturer of an LCD display. The manufacturer grows a polysilicon layer on the glass substrate using known growth techniques which include rapid thermal annealing (RTA) for the activation of a doped silicon layer. To this end, the RTA allows dopants previously implanted in the polysilicon to thermally diffuse to relieve stress. The dopant activation step may occur at a relatively high temperature (e.g., approximately 600° C. to approximately 700° C.) and over a relatively short time interval (e.g., 1-3 min.). Depending on the actual conditions, this RTA can result in the compaction or the expansion of the glass, with the degree of glass strain dictated by the compaction conditions that occur during an initial heating cycle (C1) at the manufacturer.
It is noted that many of the example embodiments focus on the polysilicon growth sequence and incorporate three heating cycles. As can be readily appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art, this is merely illustrative, and it is noted that heating/cooling cycles to attain other objectives beside polysilicon growth may be used, and fewer or more than three cycles may be used to meet the desired ends.
An example of the dependency of the compaction of the glass on the heating/anneal cycles is shown in
In order to more clearly illustrate the dependence of the time and temperature of the thermal cycles, thermal cycle C3 of
One aspect of the behavior of the glass material shown in
As can be appreciated from the processing sequence of
In carrying out the iterative method to substantially control the expansion or compaction of the glass within the prescribed level, the penalty function is defined to incorporate constraints on allowed temperature variations, heating and cooling rates, 'hold times', and durations of the various steps of each of the heating cycles. These constraints may be specified by the polycrystalline (e.g., poly Si) growth techniques, or the anneal sequence during the glass manufacture, or both. The illustrative method involves carrying out simulated anneal sequences by iteratively changing one or more of the input parameters of time, temperature, and rates of heating and cooling to determine the expansion or compaction of the glass, particularly during the polycrystalline growth.
The penalty function is minimized in a simulated annealing procedure or other iterative global optimization procedure in which all variable parameters (e.g., temperature and time) are varied in a controlled manner. From the simulated annealing, the effects of making certain changes to the post-anneal at the manufacturer as well as changes to the poly Si growth processes are analyzed to determine if any changes can be made to these variable parameters to reduce the glass strain to within the specified limit. A secondary goal is to select variable parameter values (i.e. processing conditions) that are more convenient in terms of cost, time, process stability, or other considerations. Moreover, with each iterative calculation, the associated penalty function is calculated, to determine if the chosen sequence is more favorable than previous choices. Finally, if during the calculation of a process sequence, minima of the penalty function are approached, the iterative calculation will search for the global minimum of the penalty function to optimize the expansion or compaction of the glass.
Certain iterative minimization processes/methods are known and may be applied to the search for a global optimal solution. An example method is simulated annealing technique, as described in "Global Optimization of Statistical Functions with Simulated Annealing," Goffe, Ferrier and Rogers, Journal of Econometrics, vol. 60, no. 1/2, January/February 1994, pp. C 65-100. The disclosure of this reference is specifically incorporated herein by reference. This method of simulated annealing is implemented in a Fortran program "simann.f" that is readily available.
For a chosen global optimization method to be effective, it is necessary that the penalty function described above be able to return values for any choice of processing parameters. Usually these parameters are the temperature and duration of thermal and other processing cycles for either the pretreatment by the glass manufacturer or times and temperatures used by glass customers during poly Si processing using the glass. The global minimum that may be found automatically by the methods of the example embodiments (such as simulated annealing). This gives the best possible set of processing parameters consistent with the chosen limits of those parameters (such as maximum allowed duration or temperatures) and consistent with the chosen definition of penalty function.
A method of optimizing the thermal cycles of a poly Si growth sequence to realize a glass strain at or below a specified level is described in conjunction with another example embodiment, which is presently described. Several fictive temperature components are needed to explain certain glass relaxational phenomena that are different depending on different thermal histories of the glass material. The role played by the exponential variation of glass viscosity with temperature, and the viscosity controlling the time dependence of glass properties, is addressed in example embodiments by scaling the time dependence proportional to inverse viscosity. This time resealing is described in "Thermal Compaction Modeling of Corning Code 7059 Fusion Drawn Glass" to Walter M. Buehl, et al. 1991 SID International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition (1991), the disclosure of which is specifically incorporated herein by reference.
The methods of example embodiments use constants and expressions described below to account for the properties of a given glass and its (room temperature) strain in response to thermal history. In accordance with an example embodiment, optimization of thermal cycles of the glass may be used to minimize and control thermal compaction (or expansion).
In order to optimize the thermal cycles, it is necessary to track fictive temperature dependence on thermal history. The viscosity of the glass (fluid), η, can be determined with the following expression:
ln(ηL/η)=−A−B[x/T+(1−x)/T f] (1.1)
where ηL is an arbitrary constant (for convenience to handle viscosity units), A, B, and x are constants that describe the glass under study, T is the current temperature and Tf is the fictive temperature. The time variation of fictive temperature component i, Tfi, is given by:
where (ηL/η) was described above and αi is a parameter of the model and is related to the time rate of change of each fictive temperature component.
The fictive temperature is given as a weighted sum of the fictive temperature components using the expression:
where there are N different fictive temperature components and each contributes with a weight Ai, which is an adjustable parameter of the model. The sum of the weights must add to unity, to wit:
Finally, when the (room temperature) fictive temperatures before and after a given thermal process are known, the glass strain (usually called compaction) is given by the linear proportionality
C=β(T f after −T f before) (1.5)
where β is a constant of proportionality, and αi and Ai for N values are determined per the above to describe relaxation behavior of fictive temperature components (N typically ranges from about 5 to 10), and β is used to convert from fictive temperature to strain.
The constant of proportionality β may be thought of in analogy to the coefficient of linear expansion for a material. The coefficient of linear expansion is a constant of proportionality between material strain and a change in temperature of the material. That is, if the temperature goes up by some amount, then the material expands by an amount proportional to this temperature change and also proportional to its original length. In a similar way, a glass will expand (or compact) by an amount proportional to both its change in fictive temperature and also proportional to its original length. The success of using a linear approximation to describe thermal expansion is well known, and the success of using the analogous linear approximation represented by β is given in the Buehl reference.
In addition to parameters related to the glass, there are constants that describe the initial processing of the glass. This description is given by a set of data points (time, temperature) that represent the thermal history of the glass during its manufacture. The initial values of the fictive temperature components (at the initial time) are taken to be equal to the temperature of the glass at its highest temperature during forming. At this temperature the viscosity is so low that the time relaxation is essentially instantaneous, or in other words, each fictive temperature component becomes equal to the actual glass temperature.
As the glass temperature is reduced during processing, the slowest-relaxing fictive temperature components (those of smallest αi) will lag the changing temperature, and the overall fictive temperature given by Eq. 1.3 will no longer equal the glass temperature. Thus, by the time the glass is manufactured and has cooled to room temperature, its manufactured fictive temperature is much higher than room temperature and may be in the range of approximately 600° C. to approximately 900° C.
The fictive temperature components, Tfi, along with the parameters of the model referenced above, fully track the thermal history of the glass within this model. That is, some description of processing history is used to calculate Tfi and these are the starting values for any subsequent thermal processing of the glass. In each case the time evolution of the fictive temperature components is calculated while the real temperature is varying with time, and the compaction after any given process is calculated using Eq. 1.5.
The only remaining information needed to run predictive simulations or to run optimizations is a (time, temperature) description for thermal processing steps subsequent to glass manufacture. These steps are handled as described above, with the starting values of the fictive temperature components always taken as the ending values from the previous process.
The fictive temperature values that occur before and after a glass manufacturer's customer's (e.g., display manufacturer) processing steps are used in an expression like Eq. (1.5) to calculate predicted glass strain. The resulting strain values are then used to calculate contributions to the penalty function within the global iterative optimization. Thus, a global iterative optimization (such as with simulated annealing) will automatically input on the order of approximately 1×103 to on the order of approximately 1×106 values for all variable parameters describing (time, temperature) process conditions. For each of these thousands to hundreds of thousands of cases, the procedure of the example embodiment of
At step 201, a computer or microcomputer is provided and the requisite glass constants A, B, x, {αi}, {Ai} and β are input to the computer and stored for later use. The computer or microcomputer may be one of a variety of devices well-known to one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, a personal computer (PC) may be used in this capacity. Similarly, the thermal history during manufacturing of the glass is input as ordered pairs of time and temperature at step 202. These data relate to the fabrication of the glass and not the subsequent processing of the substrate for the fabrication of polycrystalline layers on the glass. Thereafter, at Step 203, the subsequent thermal history, again in ordered pairs of time and temperature is input to the computer as well. These data relate to the thermal cycles imposed by the glass manufacturer and also the thermal cycles required for polycrystalline growth techniques. Ordinarily, these data that are the input values of step 203 are the primary degrees of freedom being optimized in the global optimization. Further, it is ordinarily the thermal processing by the glass manufacturer that is mainly the subject of optimization, given that customer processing of poly Si has limited freedom for adjusting its thermal cycles. When global optimization is described herein by simulated annealing or by other methods, an iterative method such as the computer-based iterative procedure for finding the best choice of the time and temperature values that occur in step 203. As global optimization proceeds, a subset of the input values of step 203 is varied and the method of
Next, at step 204, the initial values of the fictive temperature components are set to the highest temperature that occurs during glass manufacture, and the initial time is set to zero. Alternatively, the time evolution described in subsequent steps can be carried up to the point just before the first of the 'subsequent thermal processing' step of step 203, and the resulting fictive temperature components can be used as inputs for the repeated calculations described above during global optimization. In this case, instead of following the time evolution of fictive temperature components from glass manufacture up to just before subsequent thermal processing, the thermal history associated with glass manufacture is replaced by the resulting fictive temperature components. This makes the computer calculations faster when many thousands of similar calculations must be performed during global optimization. From the data input, and from Eq. 1.1, the viscosity of the glass at the current temperature and fictive temperature are calculated at step 205. Next, for an incremental step in time, the change in the fictive temperature is calculated at step 206. This calculation is carried out via the differential of the fictive temperature via a straight-forward manipulation of Eq. 1.2. At step 207, the various values for the fictive temperature, temperature and time are updated for the thermal sequence.
If, at the end of step 207, the time equals the final time in the cycle, the final fictive temperature and the glass strain associated are provided, with the fictive temperature being the sum of the individual weighted components from Eq. 1.3, and the strain from Eq. 1.5. If the cycle is not completed, the method is repeated beginning with step 205. When one cycle is completed (i.e. the simulated time reaches the ending time of that cycle), the calculation simply proceeds on in time into the next cycle, and so on until all cycles are completed. The known times of starting and stopping each cycle are then used to select the overall fictive temperatures before and after each cycle, and their differences are used to compute the related glass strains (compactions) using Eq. (1.5 ).
In a separate iterative process, designed to define the initial glass constants of step 201, the input parameters of step 201 are adjusted in a least squares sense to minimize the error in model predicted compaction versus measured compaction. The measured compaction values are acquired by observing the change in length between two thin scribed lines on a sample before and after undergoing a given thermal treatment. The strain values are the length change divided by initial length. This procedure is done once for a given glass and given manufacturing method. It is not necessary to adjust the constants of step 201 when thermal processing is varied, but these constants will be different for different glass compositions and different manufacturing processes (other than different subsequent thermal cycles). In this model-defining procedure, another optimization such as described above is employed, with repeated application of
From the illustrative iterative method of
It is noted that the example embodiments usefully enables a user to determine from the material parameters and processing sequences of the glass manufacturer and further entities that may further process the glass (e.g., the glass manufacturer's customers) whether a particular glass strain can be achieved; and if not the example embodiments allows the manufacturer to calculate changes in the customers' processes to meet the desired glass strain. (Of course, this assumes the limits of the glass manufacturer's processes are exhausted and the required glass strain requirements are not met.)
The example embodiments having been described in detail in connection through a discussion of exemplary embodiments, it is clear that modifications of the invention will be apparent to one having ordinary skill in the art having had the benefit of the present disclosure. Such modifications and variations are included in the scope of the appended claims.

Desmar Jackson led SIU with 19 points.
Feb. 15, 2014
By Tom Weber
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - Behind senior point guard Jake Odum, Indiana State rallied from a seven-point deficit to top Southern Illinois, 60-57, on Saturday in front of a boisterous crowd of 5,420 at the Hulman Center.
The Sycamores (20-6, 11-3) trailed, 44-37, with 12:51 remaining, but Odum took over the game on the offensive end of the floor, slicing and dicing SIU's defense to rally his club. After being held to two points in the first half, he finished with 15 points, five rebounds and three assists on the afternoon.
The Salukis (10-17, 6-8) controlled the pace of the game with long possessions on offense, while dropping into a 2-3 zone defense that often stymied ISU. The strategy worked until Indiana State head coach Greg Lansing moved Odum into the high post position on offense. From there, he was able to penetrate the lane and create shots for himself and others.
"I think what Greg and his staff did in adjustments in the second half were really good," SIU head coach Barry Hinson said. "Jake made plays. It wasn't just the shots that he made. It's what he did (passing)."
Odum highlighted an 11-0 ISU run with a conventional three-point play, followed by a picture-perfect dish to Jake Kitchell for another three-point score that juiced up the crowd and gave the Sycamores a 48-44 lead they never relinquished.
"(Jake's) just competitive, he wants to win," Lansing said. "His body is beat up. He's not near 100 percent. There was a look in his eye at Bradley (last Wednesday) that was unbelievable. He just took over. Here, he picked us up in a huge spurt."
Southern was a two-man shown on offense with Desmar Jackson (19 points) and Anthony Beane (18 points) providing all but 20 of the team's point total.
"Desmar Jackson -- they've got NBA guys in here looking at that guy, and Anthony Beane could play anywhere," Lansing said. "Best hire in the world was Coach Hinson hiring his dad because he's a terrific player."
Beane hit a 3-pointer with 6:58 to go that cut the deficit to 50-48, and drilled a two-pointer to bring Southern within 52-50 with 5:10 remaining. That's as close as SIU would come because Odum answered with a clutch 3-pointer at the 3:54 mark and the shot clock about to expire that gave his team a 55-50 lead.
"We put Jake up there (at high post) and obviously, he's going to make good things happen," said Lansing, whose team was just 4-for-18 from 3-point. "You have to attack that area of the zone and get them to collapse a little bit and kick it back out. If we make a couple more threes, maybe it's not quite as nerve-wracking toward the end."
Down 58-52, SIU managed to scrap back into it when Jackson grabbed an offensive rebound off a missed Sean O'Brien free throw, and then completed a three-point play with 2:25 to go.
The Salukis had two chances to send the game to overtime in the final moments. With the score 60-57, Jackson missed a 3-pointer with eight seconds to go, Beane grabbed the rebound and dribbled back outside the arc, but he, too, missed a trey with three seconds left. Beane grabbed his own rebound and Southern called timeout with 0.3 seconds on the clock -- not enough time to attempt another shot.
"(Beane) got an open look -- an open look by one of your best players," Hinson said. "If I could have it to do over again, I wish we would have shot-faked, got him up in the air and we would have gotten three free throws."
While Jackson and Beane were stellar at the guards, Indiana State had a major advantage in the paint. The Sycamores blocked 10 shots and held Southern to 13-of-38 shooting on two-point shot attempts. The Sycamores were also much better at the free throw line, making 14-of-18, compared to 13-of-24 for SIU. O'Brien was 1-for-5 and Jalen Pendleton 1-for-4 from the line.
"Two guys specifically went 2-for-9," Hinson said. "It's hard to win when you do that."
With two weeks and four games left in the regular season, the Salukis have their backs against the wall as they try to earn one of the coveted top six seeds at the conference tournament. They probably need to win three of the remaining four games.
"Today I thought was a statement game -- a game we could gauge on -- and we're just not quite there yet," Hinson said. "But, as the assistants told me in the locker room, we control our own destiny. We do not want to play on Thursday night. That's our goal."
