I just transfered here and am trying to figure out how to get to school. At iowa state you could drive to hilton and take cy-ride in. I was wondering how uni does it because i contacted the parking unit and they were not very helpful. im just figuring out what the best way to get to school is and i have no ideas yet. thanks for any help
The campus itself is still pretty walkable. Assuming you are living off campus, if it isn't walking distance, look to see where most of your classes are, and park as close as you can, in a university lot.
I know that wasn't very helpful, but UNI is not a huge campus, you can walk from from the Ed Center to the Library in 5 minutes.

yeah i do live off campus, its not within walking distance. I dont want to have to buy a parking permitt if i dont have to. i was also curious if you were allowed to park in the unidome lot
Park off campus, on a street that you don't have to move every hour and just walk. It's such a small campus and you can find great parking spots only a couple blocks away. Don't even waste your time looking for spots in student parking.
WALK. There is a reason that the campus doesn't have a bus. It is small. I lived in Bender back in the mid 90's and the business building was the farthest from me and happened to be where I was always heading. And it still was not more than a 5 minute walk.
Also, I met a lot of Iowa State fans and I dont want to leave any of that behind. - DARIUS DARKS on Staying a CLONE!!!

As Coach Orr's daughter said on Saturday...move more!
Walkin' won't kill ya, it'll make you stronger.
folks over at Panther Nation will prolly have more info for ya. And UNI does have a bus that goes through campus and to a couple off-campus appt buildings.
You will find that walking on UNI's campus from a parking spot surrounding campus is pretty fast. I lived with my UNI buddies while going to Wartburg and it took me the same amount of time to drive from CF to Waverly as it did for them to find a decent parking spot near their building. Save time and just walk.
i live past 1st street, walkin would take forever, i need to find an area to park at and walk from there. im over 2 miles away from campus
yeah walking from there is not possible...just graduated in december...i always parked on the street next to all my buildings...it doesnt work for all of them but you can for some. they dont have meters on the street anymore because too many students were complaining. they do have a 2 hr time limit and try not to park too much longer or you will definitely get a ticket.
I loved UNI, but good luck finding any ISU fans.

thanks for the info cyclonepower. I think ill try something like that. im gonna be wearing alot of cardinal and gold here. ill work on converting them
just like others say: walk...our public transportation sucks BIG TIME compared to Cy-Ride, just park off campus and walk if you live off campus.
Spend the money, get a parking pass - because 2-3 UNI parking tickets will costs the same as a parking pass. Then park behind the buidling that used to be Rocky Rococco's Pizza (i think it is a book and supply store now). Then it is about a 2-3 minute walk to the business building.
If you don't get a parking pass you will spend 15 minutes everyday looking for a "free" parking spot.

I've seen better, but I've also seen worse... Really liked the art though, especially Frieza.
Not original and lacking in comedy
All the jokes have been done already especially the long wait for something to actually happen and the only actual funny part was after the 7 episodes later part besides that was just goku talking to himself so it could have been a lot better
dont bother
very poor effort wasn't funny at all, except for maybe a little bit at the ending. Was just boring music sucked.
Not my favorite
I've seen a lot of DBZ parodies and this wasn't really one of the good ones. can't really put my finger on it, but something was very lacking. I think it was the audio. And even though you don't sound like Goku, you should always put you %100 into a voice or character, or any type of acting. This was lackluster. Please don't take offense.
basicly every team four star joke?
unfortunatly the whole disliking krillin thing is a joke in itself as he is one of the most popular characters and y'know...goku's best friend lol. your goku voice sounds more like vegeta and changes a few times during the video.

...dumb to be carrying a weapon in the first place and a terrible shot at that at almost point blank range...
Justified in my opinion.
Spur of the moment reply. I shouldnt have said Justified just yet. None of us know the entire story.

How is it justified?! The point at which shots were fired, there was no real physical threat, at least not described in the article. The driver apparently told the cyclist to get off the road, wherein the cyclist flipped him off, whereupon the driver turned around - but did what? The cyclist should have just pedaled away and/or evaded the driver after he turned around- side streets, woods, alley, etc. Or, confronted verbally in an argument (I have the right to use this road, etc) Instead, the cyclist produced a d**m firearm. Obviously the driver stopped the vehicle - because the cyclist reached in and fired. After the shot was fired - the driver gave chase and rammed or attempted to ram the cyclist. From parsing the article - the shooting was not justified.
Definitely not justified, but both of those guys should be under arrest.
Yup, that's why I do not carry a firearm. There is no doubt that I would shoot someone who tried to clip me. I'm not going down that way!Originally Posted by The Fixer
This gives all law biding citizens, cyclist, and gun advocates a black eye.
From what little info there is, the shooter should go to jail.
(I do understand the emotional "he deserved it" comments, though).
it sounds like there is something missing from that story. why would the cyclist shoot the guy if he didn't feel his life was in danger? and why the f*** was he packing heat in the first place?

The only two that know the whole store are the two people involved. I mean, really, do you think the truck driver turned around just to say hello? Do you really think he's going to admit that he tried to run someone down? No. But did he? I'll bet so since he ended up getting shot for it. But neither should have acted the way they did. Unfortunately, only one of them will pay for their transgression.
There have been plenty of times I've been sufficiently threatened on a bike that I'd like to have gunned down the driver. . . and that's why I shouldn't pack heat.
"Know your limits," is sage advice.
Now just by leaving the weapon at home he could sure shed some unneeded pounds. How much you want to bet he spends tons of money to take fractions of grams off of the overall weight of the bike. Carrying a weapon will diffidently hurt his performance against the clock on any climb. Of course if opponents challenge him my guess is he will come out on top. But in all seriousness he could shed a little weight by only putting one bullet in the gun.

I used to carry a knife around and have ditched it for anger reasons. I wouldn't like to be in a situation like this guy where I get mad enough to actually hurt someone.
That is because you are too nice of a guy, which is meant a compliment. An angry frustrated cyclist who has been run off the road many times may respond with that hasty comment, but not mean it literally (I hope). At least that was my interpretation of the remark.Originally Posted by ngateguy
True not justified by the story. But who knows what the driver had in mind. He had to do something to scare the cyclist. I have been chased for giving the bird. People have actually made threats to me and followed me home. We dont know the whole story because the news media doesnt tell the whole story. "Just Cyclist shoots driver." Whay did the driver stop or turn around if he or she wasnt planning to do harm or confront the cyclist?
I pack everywhere I go.

AND,what did the driver do to get the bird that "initiated" the whole incident? While I have flipped off quite a few people, I have never done it without good reason, certainly not just because someone passed me. (Except in a groupride, during a sprint, so it probably happens a lot. )

Don't forget, just because someone has a 2 ton truck pointed at you, you shouldn't fight back unless you are actually ran down first!
Last time I checked, giving someone the high one, isn't reason to run them down, beat them, or threaten them. I also don't think we have the full story here, and it doesn't seem justified from the short article.
I bet this thread is going to turn into a real hottie!
It's just about impossible to glean the full story from such a brief article. That said, giving someone "the bird" isn't really justification for running them off the road. However, nor is running someone off the road justification for a shooting. In anycase, I'd like to know what (if anything) happened before the original "giving the bird" incident. Personally I find "giving the bird" to be a pretty stupid and futile action at the best of times, but I'd like to know what led to it.Originally Posted by uciflylow

I'm usually cool and level headed, but I shot the ole one finger salute to a pickup that right hooked me while I was giving the signal to move left!
This is the first time since I have started riding that I have made the gesture. I beleive in playing down a situation, but this got the better of me. The bad thing is this moron never gave any kind of signal for the right turn, I was watching in my mirror!
People are just soooo disrespectful of each other. That day I was guilty of elevating a situation.
The cyclist is the worst kind of dangerous fool: one attempting to save face. Any credibility he had he threw away once he produced the firearm. Here's hoping the law sees fit to teach him the lesson of consequence.

No...its not justified...that cyclist better not have been sane...cause that something you just dont do....
yeah can't tell much from the article... but it is unlikely that the cyclist was is life-threatening danger so the shooting is probably unjustified... although i suppose it is possible that the pickup truck driver had the cyclist in front of the grill and revved the engine and threatened to run him over... although i still think you could try and ride off or get in a fist-fight rather than shooting someone, but then i'm old-school (only wimps use weapons) unfortunately lots of other wimps have weapons and don't care.
why drive when you can ride?

Or he the driver could have a had tire tool or knife or a gun of his very own. Duh...... Germans..............
As some of you noted there's really not enough detail to assess what actually took place. It sounds to me like two morons both armed with deadly weapons, were intent on doing serious bodily harm to one another. The courts will decide if any of it was justified.
"Nicoletti rammed Urick off his bike..." Driver should have been arrested for assault...or even assault with a deadly weapon. His actions are not justified, either. Can't chase someone down and then claim self-defense. If the system works (hah), they can clear up their differences in the clink.

Angler strikes gold in Grand Lake (goldfish that is)
GROVE — A weekend fishing trip for crappie and bass turned into a golden experience when a Tulsa man reeled in a mammoth goldfish.
As far as fish tales goes … maybe mammoth is stretching the story a bit, but a 2½-pound goldfish is certainly an unusual catch.
Daxton Neal, 35, of Tulsa, was on a weekend fishing outing with friends on Grand Lake last month when he caught the lunker goldfish.
"We had been fishing the day before in the Honey Creek Resort area, and had caught a good mess of crappie, and a few good-size bass," Neal said.
The group launched out in Neal's boat from Honey Creek Resort. As the boat was maneuvering around the docks and throughout the coves, Neal's ultralight fishing pole began to jump.
"I kept an ultralight with a minnow hanging off the boat just in case we ran across a school of crappie while we were bass fishing," Neal said. "When I saw the rod tip bend almost into the water, I thought I had just snagged a bass."
The sight of an orange-colored fish just below the water surface caught the anglers by surprise. The goldfish was the biggest fish any of the anglers caught that weekend, he said.
"I suppose I could have kept him in an effort to establish a new lake record — 'biggest goldfish,'" Neal joked.
Goldfish is not one of the 13 species the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation recognizes as lake records and state wildlife officials really don't want them in lakes.
Although rare, Neal is not the first angler to catch a big goldfish from Oklahoma waters, said Greg Summers, who is in charge of the lake records program for the Wildlife Department.
Summers knows of goldfish weighing up to 4 pounds that have been caught. Some anglers will use goldfish as brightly-colored bait for catfish and that's most likely how they get into lakes, he said.
"Ever once in a while you will get one," Summers said of a big goldfish. "Fish will grow depending on the size (of waters) they are contained in."
Ironically, Neal who owns Redfish Advertising, is now considering changing the name of his company to Goldfish Advertising.

Head Over To Million Mile Secrets Today
If you like to travel, I hope you subscribe to Million Mile Secrets, a site dedicated to helping people maximize airline and hotel miles and points.
Daraius, the owner of Million Mile Secrets, somehow finds the time to write an interesting article daily during the week. It's one of the few emails I open each morning. He has personally earned and redeemed millions of miles without flying nearly that amount.
He discusses which credit cards offer bonus miles or generous sign up bonuses that you may want to consider, recaps his travels (most recently Bora Bora) and it's just an overall good read that's packed with helpful information.
I've already earned quite a few miles by reading Million Mile Secrets that I would not have earned otherwise.
Head on over to read my interview and don't forget to subscribe while you're at it.

I'll go check it out…I could DEFINITELY use a few more miles to plan all of the trips I'm dreaming of!
I learned of your website through million mile secrets! Having lived in La Jolla for 4 years of college and now in Rancho Bernardo.. I'm surprise I haven't been to this site! I love the info from here 🙂 I myself have a 3 yo and a 9 month old~ We travel to Taiwan to visit grandparents every year. I wish I knew about this site earlier! 🙂 Your advice is awesome 🙂
Thanks for sharing your tips and also for sharing this site, Katie. I am a huge fan of one airline in particular, but sadly, their flight schedule is limited–so it is good to have tips for collecting points elsewhere. By the way, the one of the new trends in air travel is to fly with a "companion" pet. Recently, I have seen everything from English Bulldogs to Pekingese, flying in the cabin with their owner. The crew on my last flight even told me about someone who flew with a pot-bellied pig! Might work for you too! 🙂
Great site thatI will share!! Love it.

Corporate Social Responsibility in Emerging Markets: The Importance of the Governance Environment
Li, Shaomin, Fetscherin, Marc, Alon, Ilan, Lattemann, Christoph, Yeh, Kuang, Management International Review
* This study examines how country-level, industry-level, and firm-level factors affect the extent of corporate communications about CSR in Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC). In particular, using data from the 105 largest MNCs in BRIC, we investigate CSR motives, processes, and stakeholder issues discussed in corporate communications.
* At the country level, based on a newly developed governance environment framework that differentiates between rule-based and relation-based governance, our study reveals that a country's governance environment is the most important driving force behinds CSR communications intensity.
* Our results show that firms communicating more CSR tend to be larger firms in the manufacturing industry in more rule-based societies. These firms also tend to have stronger corporate governance as measured by a high proportion of outside board directors and a separation of the roles of the chairman and the CEO.
Keywords: Corporate social responsibility. Governance environment. Rule-based. Relation-based * Emerging markets
In recent years, the terms CSR (corporate social responsibility), corporate strategic volunteerism, social marketing, and strategic philanthropy have penetrated the mainstream literature and multinational practices (Turban and Greening 1997). Generally, CSR is considered a firm's obligation to protect and improve social welfare (Staples 2004) through various business and social actions (Sen and Bhattacharya 2001; Turban and Greening 1997), ensuring equitable and sustainable benefits for the stakeholders. Increasingly, companies are rolling out CSR initiatives that have also been shown to become key success factors and sustainable competitive advantages (Lichtenstein et al. 2004). In mature economies, such as those in the US and Western European countries, corporate communication is often used to highlight companies' commitments to CSR (Esrock and Leichty 1998; Hooghiemstra 2000), enhance marketing efforts, and legitimize the company's corporate image in the eyes of its various stakeholders (Birch and Moon 2004; Ringov and Zollo 2007). Communications about CSR has therefore emerged as a vital and integrated part of organizational marketing to enhance the corporate image (Chahal and Sharma 2006).
Already more established in developed-country firms, CSR has become important for firms in the developing countries. Although extensive research has been conducted on CSR in the developed countries, much less is known about CSR in the developing countries. So far general knowledge about CSR in the developing countries can be summarized by two main points. First, firms in developing countries adopt CSR less than their counterparts in the developed world (e.g., Welford 2004), and second, the main reason for this gap is due to their low economic development levels (e.g., Baughn et al. 2007). Our limited understanding of CSR in the developing economies poses a pressing challenge for both the international community and academics.
In recent years there has been a drastic increase in health and product safety issues associated with products from emerging economies, such the milk and toy scandals in China (e.g., Bogdanich 2008). This not only has caused concern in the international community, but has also negatively impacted the image of the country of origin and the corporate reputation of the firms that reside there. Therefore, the international community, multinational corporations, and firms in the emerging economies all need to gain a better understanding of the importance of CSR and what affects CSR in the emerging countries. From an academic perspective, CSR scholars are faced with the challenge of determining what factors influence firms in the emerging economies to behave in a socially responsible way. Theoretically, we also need to understand what macro factors, aside from the known factors such as the level of economic development, may help determine the overall CSR level of firms in a particular country. …

The Defense Ministry said Monday it is seeking ¥176.1 billion to beef up the missile shield in the aftermath of North Korean rocket launches earlier this year, part of an overall ¥4.846 trillion request for appropriations in the fiscal 2010 budget.
To brace for missile launches toward Japan, the ministry plans to deploy batteries across the country capable of launching Patriot Advanced Capability-3 interceptors, including in the Tohoku, Hokkaido and Okinawa areas.
The PAC-3 system constitutes the lower part of Japan's two-layer ballistic missile shield, which is designed to shoot down missiles in their final phase if sea-launched Standard Missile-3 interceptors fail to destroy them outside the atmosphere.
PAC-3 batteries have been deployed to cover parts of the Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya areas and are scheduled to be set up in the Kyushu area by next spring.
The ¥176.1 billion request includes outlays for joint Japan-U.S. development of a ballistic missile defense system based on Aegis destroyers.
The ministry's overall request for fiscal 2010 budget allocations is up 3.0 percent from the initial budget of this fiscal year.
A funding increase would reverse the trend of downsizing defense spending. The government has trimmed the defense budget for seven years in a row up to fiscal 2009.

Paper Jam - TWC
My Uncle Clarence could not stand the taste of iced tea, but around our house, it was a staple. When I was younger, I'd be the one tasked with fixing up a pot of tea... boil the water, add tea bags and let it steep, a big scoop of sugar and finish topping off the gallon jar with water. Later, after my Dad died, I'd just brew the tea and add water - no point in wasting time on the sugar... too much trouble.
But Clarence didn't like tea in any way, shape, or form. He'd gag if he sipped it. Once when he was feeling sick, and took some Nyquil (another item which made him gag), I quickly handed him a largish glass and said, "Here, have some Pepsi to wash it down...". He gratefully took a big gulp of it, and alas... it was iced tea, instead. I think it ended up all over the kitchen as he spit it out rather quickly.
As I sit here, thinking on those days, I can remember a time when I would try new things... Weird things. Sometimes, it would be a contest between myself and my brother, Ted, and Clarence, to see who could out-gross the other. It went from the fairly painless, like ketchup and mustard sandwiches, or bologna with ketchup and mustard, to more sickening mixes, such as iced tea and milk... (That's one of my few concoctions that actually got wasted... I usually ate/drank what I came up with). Mom didn't like for us to waste things, so for the most part, whatever we fixed, we ate, or drank.
As far as sandwiches go, I have made peanut butter and bologna, or peanut butter and jelly with bologna, or many other variations... I don't suggest that everyone try these things - I was a teenager, as was my brother, and our uncle was a teenager at heart, and we'd just push the edge as much as possible to try and out-do each other.
Jump ahead a few years, when I moved to Pennsylvania, we stopped at an Amish roadside market one day, and bought some traffic jam. Yummmm... Unlike the disgusting sandwich ingredients of old, this traffic jam was made up of various berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, etc), and was actually VERY tasty. Another Amish-made item was the marshmallow-peanut butter. Mix that with traffic jam and you've got a tasty sandwich indeed.
But one thing I've never, ever tried... is Paper Jam.

1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates generally to a method of dry etching semiconductor wafers. More specifically, the invention relates to a method of etching high K dielectric materials using a gas mixture comprising a halogen gas and a reducing gas as well as an etch rate control gas.
2. Description of the Background Art
Field effect transistors that are used in forming integrated circuit generally utilize a polysilicon gate electrodes deposited upon a gate dielectric that separates the electrode from the channel between source and drain regions. In prior art transistor structures, the gate dielectric is typically fabricated of silicon dioxide (SiO2). However, as integrated circuit transistors have become smaller (on the order of 100 nanometers in width), the thickness of the dielectric material in the gate structure has become thinner than 10 Angstroms. With such a thin dielectric, electrons can propagate from the polysilicon gate electrode into the transistor channel causing the transistor to operate improperly or become defective.
This leakage of electrons from the gate electrode through the gate oxide has led researchers to investigate the use of more stable high K dielectric materials. One very stable dielectric material having a high dielectric constant is hafnium-oxide (HfO2). However, hafnium-oxide is such a stable dielectric material that it is very difficult to etch using conventional oxide etchants to form into gate structures without damaging other layers of material residing on the wafer. As such, hafnium-oxide has found limited use in semiconductor devices.
Therefore, there is a need in the art for a high K material etching process having very high selectivity to silicon-containing materials.
The disadvantages associated with the prior art are overcome by the present invention for etching materials with high dielectric constants (high K materials have a dielectric constant greater than 4.0) such as HfO2, ZrO2, Al2O3, BST, PZK, ZrSiO2, HFSiO2, TaO2, and the like using a gas mixture comprising a halogen gas and reducing gas as well as an etch rate control gas. In one embodiment of the invention, an etch gas (or mixture) comprising chlorine (Cl2), carbon monoxide (CO) and an etch rate control gas comprising at least one of argon (Ar) and oxygen (O2) is used for etching hafnium-oxide films. In one example, the gas flow rates are in the range 20–300 sccm Cl2, about 2–200 sccm CO, about 2–600 sccm Ar and about 1–100 sccm O2 with a total chamber pressure in the range of 2–100 mTorr.
A decoupled plasma source etch reactor is illustratively used to practice one embodiment of the present invention. In general, the reactor uses an inductive source power of about 200–2500 W for plasma generation, and applies a cathode bias power of about 0–100 W to a wafer support pedestal. The reactor maintains the pedestal within a temperature range of about 100 to 500 degrees Celsius. The invention can be practiced, for example, by supplying to the reactor a combination of about 20 sccm of chlorine gas, about 20 sccm of carbon monoxide gas, about 40 sccm of argon and about 2 sccm of oxygen while maintaining a total chamber pressure of about 4 mTorr. The gas mixture is supplied to the reaction chamber wherein a plasma is formed and a hafnium-oxide layer is etched.
The teachings of the present invention can be readily understood by considering the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
To facilitate understanding, identical reference numerals have been used, where possible, to designate identical element that are common to the figures.
The present invention is a method of etching materials with high dielectric constants (high K materials have dielectric constants greater than 4.0) using a plasma generated from a gas (or gas mixture) comprising gases containing a halogen gas (such as Cl2, HCl and the like), a reducing gas (such as carbon monoxide (CO), and an etch rate control gas (at least one of Ar or O2). The high K materials include metal oxides such as HfO2, ZrO2, Al2O3, BST, PZT, ZrSiO2, HfSiO2, TaO2, and the like. The type of halogen gas is selected to best remove the metal from the dielectric layer and the type of reducing gas is selected to best remove the oxygen from the dielectric layer. The argon is a dilutant and the oxygen reacts with the carbon to form a carbonate. The argon dilutant aids in controlling the etch process by slowing the etch rate below 100 Å/min. Without an etch rate control gas, the etch rate can be more than 200 Å/min. Such etch rate control is especially important when etching thin dielectric layers, e.g., less than 30 Å. The addition of oxygen to the Cl2/CO chemistry improves the etch rate uniformity. The addition of both Ar and O2 provide control of both etch rate and etch rate uniformity. The etch process of the present invention can be reduced to practice in a Decoupled Plasma Source (DPS) Centura® etch system or a DPS-II etch system available from Applied Materials, Inc. of Santa Clara, Calif.
In operation, the semiconductor substrate 114 is placed on the substrate support pedestal 116 and gaseous components are supplied from a gas panel 138 to the process chamber 110 through entry ports 126 to form a gaseous mixture 150. The gaseous mixture 150 is ignited into a plasma 152 in the process chamber 110 by applying RF power from the RF sources 118 and 122 respectively to the antenna 112 and the cathode 116. The pressure within the interior of the etch chamber 110 is controlled using a throttle valve 127 situated between the chamber 110 and a vacuum pump 136. The temperature at the surface of the chamber walls 130 is controlled using liquid-containing conduits (not shown) that are located in the walls 130 of the chamber 110.
The temperature of the substrate 114 is controlled by stabilizing the temperature of the support pedestal 116 and flowing helium gas from source 148 to channels formed by the back of the substrate 114 and grooves (not shown) on the pedestal surface. The helium gas is used to facilitate heat transfer between the pedestal 116 and the substrate 114. During the etch process, the substrate 114 is heated by a resistive heater within the pedestal to a steady state temperature and the helium facilitates uniform heating of the substrate 114. Using thermal control of both the dome 120 and the pedestal 116, the substrate 114 is maintained at a temperature of between 100 and 500 degrees Celsius.
The RF power applied to the inductive coil antenna 112 has a frequency between 50 kHz and 13.56 MHz and has a power of 200 to 2500 Watts. The bias power applied to the pedestal 116 may be DC or RF and is between 0 and 100 Watts. To improve etch selectivity and etch rate control, the bias power may be set to zero.
Those skilled in the art will understand that other forms of etch chambers may be used to practice the invention, including chambers with remote plasma sources, microwave plasma chambers, electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma chambers, and the like.
To facilitate control of the chamber as described above, the CPU 144 may be one of any form of general purpose computer processor that can be used in an industrial setting for controlling various chambers and subprocessors. The memory 142 is coupled to the CPU 144. The memory 142, or computer-readable medium, may be one or more of readily available memory such as random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), floppy disk, hard disk, or any other form of digital storage, local or remote. The support circuits 146 are coupled to the CPU 144 for supporting the processor in a conventional manner. These circuits include cache, power supplies, clock circuits, input/output circuitry and subsystems, and the like. An etching process 200 is generally stored in the memory 142 as a software routine 202. The software routine 202 may also be stored and/or executed by a second CPU (not shown) that is remotely located from the hardware being controlled by the CPU 144.
The specific embodiment of the etching process 200 depicted in
The foregoing steps of process 200 need not be performed sequentially. For example, some or all of the steps may be performed simultaneously to etch a hafnium-oxide or other high K dielectric layer.
The software routine 202 is discussed with respect to
Continuing to refer to
Once the gas mixture 150 is present above the wafer 114, step 212 applies 200–2500 Watts of RF power to the antenna 112, and plasma 152 is formed. The wafer 114 is heated to 100–500 degrees Celsius in step 214. Etching of the wafer 114 occurs in step 216.
One specific recipe for etching hafnium-oxide uses a cathode bias power of zero watts, 20 sccm of Cl2, 20 sccm of CO, 40 sccm of Ar1, 2 sccm of O2, a chamber pressure of 4 mTorr, an antenna power of 1100 watts and a pedestal temperature of 350° C. This particular recipe results in an average etch rate of 88 Å/min. and an etch rate uniformity of 6%.
In another operative example, hafnium-oxide was etched using a mixture of 40 sccm of Cl2, 40 sccm of CO, 2 sccm of O2, a cathode bias of 0 watts, an antenna power of 1100 watts, a pedestal temperature of 350° C. and a chamber pressure of 4 mTorr. This particular recipe results in an average etch rate of 181 Å/min. and an etch rate uniformity of 4%.
In another operative example, hafnium-oxide was etched using a mixture of 20 sccm of Cl2, 20 sccm of CO, 40 sccm of Ar, a cathode bias of 0 watts, an antenna power of 1100 watts, a pedestal temperature of 350° C. and a chamber pressure of 4 mTorr.

The inhabitants of an institution in a remote country rebel against their keepers. Their acts of rebellion are by turns humorous, boring and alarming. An allegory on the problematic nature of fully liberating the human spirit, as both commendable and disturbing elements of our nature come forward. The film shows how justifiable revolt may be empowering, but may also turn to chaos and depravity. The allegory is developed in part by the fact that the film is cast entirely with dwarfs.

There's a new credit-card sized computer in town — except it's actually about twice the size of a credit card, and twice the price of the Raspberry Pi, which it seeks to compete with. It's called the MIPS Creator CI20, and it's made by Imagination Technologies — the company that's mostly known for its PowerVR GPU cores, which can be found in almost every iPhone or iPad under the sun.
The secretive R&D wing of the US government's intelligence efforts, IARPA, has announced a program to build a superconducting computer. IARPA will be working with IBM, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman to develop this superconducting computer, but the exact financial details of the deal are not available. Ultimately, the purpose of the program is to build an exascale supercomputer — a computer that is capable of at least 1,000 petaflops (1 exaflop), or about 40 times faster than the world's existing supercomputers.
Many have relaxed about the Chinese stranglehold over rare earth elements, but the crisis is far from averted.
Intel has given a full set of updates to its product roadmaps for 2015 and even into 2016 — here's what the company is planning across its entire range of products.
Researchers at Northwestern University have used Blu-ray discs — of Jackie Chan's Police Story 3: Supercop, to be exact — to increase the efficiency of solar panels by 22%.
Intel has announced its leaping into the 3D NAND market, courtesy of its partnership with Micron. Can it steal early momentum from Samsung?
A new radio design from the University of Texas may have found a way to transmit and receive data simultaneously, without the need for specialized software networks. Could this new technology transform cellular broadband and WiFi data speeds?
Intel has announced its upcoming Knights Hill Many Integrated Core product is coming on 10nm technology. The third-generation Xeon Phi should further expand the capabilities of the family with 50 or more cores and over 16GB of on-card memory.
Intel will combine its PC and mobile chip divisions, according to an email sent to employees by CEO Brian Krzanich. There's no word on how this might affect Intel's future PC and mobile products, but presumably this might be the end of either the Atom or Core line of chips — which, to be honest, is probably a sensible move given how the latest Atom and ultra-mobile Core chips are fairly close in terms of performance and power consumption.
Nvidia's new GK210 powers the upcoming K80 Tesla GPU — and this dual-chip monstrosity should be a serious HPC behemoth. Just don't expect it to hit your home PC any time soon.

Every day while crafting hair and beauty at my studio or on the set of a film, television show or commercial, my clients expose their innermost thoughts and feelings about their looks -- often dissecting themselves from from head to toe.
They often critique themselves (and others from the tabloids) as they strive to be a bigger, better version of themselves. Sometimes they dish. Sometimes they share their personal journeys. Sometimes they weigh in on how some celebrity, friend or frenemy has gone about enhancing themselves.
Having seen this firsthand, I know that the quest for beauty can be an unconscious and endless search for some. For others, it can be a way to define, develop and revel in their inner and outer beauty.
Either way, it is a personal journey -- a path of choice. True beauty is a complete package and involves a mental, physical, emotional, spiritual and financial commitment. Beauty, in its ultimate state as an empowerment tool, is built on a solid foundation of open-mindedness, experimentation and positivity. While the path is different for every man and woman, seven steps can get you started on redefining what beauty means to you and how to achieve it. It's all about drafting, revising and mastering a plan to live out beauty on your own terms.
1. Get in touch with your own definition of beauty. Pause, reflect and use your five senses to get in touch with your sincere understanding of what you believe defines inner and outer beauty. What you smell, touch, hear, taste and see influences your perception of beauty. Be conscious of the fact that it's your responsibility to own your definition and to be the best you possible -- so write it down. What is it that "defines" beauty for you?
2. Diligently seek out and document your "definition" by journaling or creating a vision board or scrapbook. For some people, rattling off a concept of beauty or creating a definition is easy. For others it's hard. That's why I suggest mentally taking note of those subtle or bold nuances of life that surprise you, inspire you or stimulate you to appreciate the beauty in something or someone -- and especially in yourself. These are the dots that guide you to your very own beauty connection. Write it down. Document it on a vision board. Create a scrapbook that represents what beauty means to you.
3. Appreciate and accept what you have discovered. Now take a deep breath, knowing that you have just captured some of the most beautiful things that life has to offer you. Warning: Don't let your inner critic rear its ugly head; you must avoid all sabotage antics. Instead, tap into your inner grace and wisdom (every person has it), which will allow you to accept and appreciate self-actualized pure and honest beauty.
4. Step into action. Now that you have created a visual roadmap that inspires you, you are perfectly primed internally. Now it's time to create and enhance externally. Overhaul and build your look from head to toe. Go out into the world, try on many different hair, makeup and clothing styles, get advice from professionals in the industry and check out online beauty sites for inspiration.
Bring a trusted friend along for the journey -- you can bounce ideas off him or her and bank on your friend telling you the truth! You will feel your inner beauty guiding you and fueling your excitement -- which is a great energy to be in for trying new things. These "new things" might include a department store makeover, at which you experiment with the latest skin, hair and makeup products. Or it might include spending a few minutes watching a YouTube instructional-style tutorial or tuning into a style makeover TV show. It might involve going to a recycled clothing store and mixing and matching your closet's staples with a funky accessory or bold accent. Your mission is to stay inspired and feed the desire to actualize your vision and commitment to change.
5. Refine what you have learned. Along the way you will find hits and total misses. Update your style portfolio or vision board. It is important to run with what works and feels good. For example, if you tried out being a redhead with shorter bangs and it doesn't fit, don't panic or crumble -- you can always redefine a hair color dramatically with subtle highlights or contrasting lowlights and add a new barrette or headband to offset your look while you grow your fringe out. If you've discovered that blue eyeliner doesn't work for you, then switch out to a smoldering bronze. Maybe convert to a dewy bronzer, fresh mascara and a sun-kissed gloss while you figure out your best look. Flexibility is your new middle name and versatility is your new game.
6. Whether it's a total makeover or just a simple shift in your unique style, embrace the changes, revel in the mirror and enjoy maintaining them. You are living proof that you can experiment with beauty ideas to create a look that is more empowering. Whether you've simply changed your lipstick color, covered the grays, committed to hot yoga or Pilates three times a week or booked an appointment with a nutritionist, these small steps lead to bigger ones. Some women I know completely transform their skin and body regimens from head to toe. They love the results that come from shocking their body into transformation. Your power will lie in finding the balance -- and the process -- that works for you.
7. Pass it on. Yes, people will stop you on the street and ask "Where did you get that bag? Who cuts your hair? and How did you get your jeans to fit just right?" (Secret: It's not the jeans -- it's the butt-crunchers you've been doing!) "Passing it on" will keep you on task and in the flow of sharing information. Kick it up a notch by throwing a handbag-exchange party or beauty-buffet (co-ed!) pajama party. Who knows the potential possibilities that await you. New relationships, a new charity -- perhaps a new business? Be open to learning from others, dishing what worked for you and why, and trying something new yet again. Be real, be bold and -- dare I say it? -- have FUN!

HTC has announced it will introduce SLCD screens to its manufacturing of the Nexus One and Desire later this summer.
The Desire and Nexus One originally have been manufactured with AMOLED screens, which have been in short supply of late, leading to a pretty major backorder on the Droid Incredible on Verizon. HTC previously said it was augmenting Droid Incredible production with SLCD screens.
That said, the Nexus One remains unavailable for purchase in the United States but is still for sale in Europe, so those of you stateside shouldn't get your hopes up over that. Full presser after the break.

Hey longtime: IYO, is CMLS at 4.67 a better deal than ROIAK at 4.75?
I really like your openness and adaptiveness in investing. I know some but not all those big names you mentioned. But I guess they are creative value investors as well. I've always thought value investing sounds simple but is hard to practice. Compared to those big names, it is people like you on Yahoo msg board that give me more live examples to learn and follow, and of course making money. :-)
I like your style, right to the point with a basis. I hope your right!
Traditionally, I like to buy undervalued micro-cap stocks selling for 60% or less of their tangible book value, with relatively low debt, as a starting point. (So the highly leveraged media company thing was very unusual for me.) In normalized markets, a 1-2 year holding period seems like the norm. The market of the last 18 months or so has brought about some different strategies I don't normally employ....like buying stocks that were down 95-99%, because I established a high enough level of assurance in my mind that they were pretty likely NOT going bankrupt, and hence any kind of bounce would represent a "multi-bagger." These are NOT situations you find in a "regular" stock market.
My shorts are few and far between. I usually have no more than one or two short positions open at any one time, representing a very small percentage of my portolio. I would, however, not be surprised to see shorts increase, as a percent of my portfolio, going forward, at least somewhat.
I don't mess around with bonds, mainly because I like to focus on equities, and have almost no experience in bonds. However, as I become larger, as an investor, getting involved with "distressed debt" situations might be more of a possibility for me.
I haven't read a ton of investing books, so it's hard to advise there. As investors or funds, I have a lot of respect for the investing styles of, besides Graham & Dodd, of course.... Bridgeway, Royce, the late Al Frank, Tweedy Browne, John Neff, the Heartland Value people, Mario Gabelli, David Dreman, Jean-Marie Eveillard, among others I can't think of right now. Of more modern "value investors," I find my style coincides often with the Lloyd Millers and Bryant Rileys of the world.
oops...maybe this will work
Not sure you should be giving me "credit" for such a short term move in CMLS vs. ROIAK. You asked a question that related to fundamental value, and I answered it. I would have expected that value disparity to narrow over a longer period of time (especially since CMLS has already run up more than ROIAK, over the last several months)....but it just so happens that since I posted, in the very short term, CMLS outperformed ROIAK. I really don't take any particular credit for that. I'm still a "long term fundamental value" kind of guy, not a short-termer, so I don't want to create any misimpressions. Although I do, and I have, more recently done more of, short term kind of trades....most dramatically with stocks like CPWM and LEE of late.
Thanks Longtime. May God bless you. Thanks a million.
Overwhelmed, frankly, by all of this. It's been one hell of a ride, and I'm just happy that others have, hopefully, been able to follow the LOGIC of many of these successful trades, and choose, using their own brains, to see what I saw.
As for a blog or anything, I'm just too lazy right now....and I'm not sure it does me any good personally. I think I want those who want to "follow" what I am up to to have to at least do some work to keep track of me. And I think I'd like to continue to "go below the radar screens"....for now, anyway. Although I've, admittedly, remotedly toyed with the idea of starting up a mutual, or hedge, fund. (This is not a solicitation, which is only done by prospectus. LOL)
Soon, this era of "spectacular opportunity" will be increasingly closing, and I suspect I'll be back to pretax annualized gains more on the order of 20-30%, say, in 2011, rather than the absolutely insane "outsized" returns of the last year or so.
Hi, Longterm,
With all these fans appreciating your posts, have you considered setting up a mailing list (e.g. on Yahoo groups) or a blog so that we can all follow you and discuss value investing?
Thanks (one more here. :-)
Yes it is.
Hey longtime. Thanks

Support BYSAJuly 29,2014
Support BYSA
Football is lighting up America again. The NFL pre-season camps are open. Our own local semiproRavens have played one game. Soon Spaulding Football will begin a season under the lights.
We hope again Spaulding will produce a competitive team/season as the last six have left muchto be desired.
One component that I believe could improve Spaulding football is the BYSA Football program.
Especially the performance of the 7-8 grade team. Obviously kids who learn football skills atthose ages are likely to move faster through the high school systems than those that have notplayed before.
I have officiated youth football in central and northern Vermont for the last three years and myobservation is that the HS teams that are highly competitive have strong youth teams in theirarea. This is especially true in terms of the size of the team rosters.
Barre Youth Football has had marginal numbers or rosters in past years which I think doessomewhat impact the Spaulding program. Thus my reason for raising this subject is that theBYSA team will start their practices on Aug. 11 and there is still time for players to sign up.
For information about the program, parents can contact Heather West, the 2014 BYSA president at 461-6400 or by email at email@example.com. Players can live anywhere inthe Spaulding School District plus Williamstown, Northfield, Montpelier and Berlin.
Certainly, the Friday Night Football theme will produce a bit of an adrenalin rush for theSpaulding program but the real key I believe is to start growing the skill players before theyenter the high school programs. One way or another lets support these teams this year as both theyand their coaching staffs begin the hard work of preparing for what we hope is a winningseason.

Here is my conseptual artwork of the anatomy that i will use for this year for my females. the age is between 15 to 18 years old. I Try to find the right balance for shapes of a body that begins to show signs of growing. this is the result, and i feel proud
Do you have a male version of the base? I'd like to use it for my Sonic OC. ^_^
Could you please do a male version of this?
What the programm?
so i can use this?
sure, just give me some credits
Great work, is the model anywhere downloadable?
there are not 3D models here, only a render. sorry
OK, i thought TheWeirdo10 asked for the model, not for the image. So you are not planning to publish the Model?
nop. i always said that people should try making their own 3D models, as i do.
OK, well I would make my own, if hands and feet were not such a big problem for me :/
practicing is the key. also i have a little tutorial for hands, in blender.

Well the physically separated ones are nice and wide, with buffer zones... looks pretty nice to me.

Picture 7 is a particular bad one. The lane moves to the center of the road which is not where the motorist expects you to be. I stayed on the left side of the street which is where the bike lane should have been.
Congestion Pricing has cleared the New York City Council.
Congestion Pricing was instituted in London in 2006, and has greatly increased the number of people on two wheels in that city.
that's great news.
I can't believe how heated the comments are regarding CP.
Very good news, hopefully the state lawmakers will vote the same way.
Looks good. The helmet in the cyclist symbol is a nice touch.
If we learn from our mistakes, I must be a goddamn genius.
I don't know the background, but I can't help but be suspect this was some pet project of some helmet advocate. Or maybe this had to be done to make the bike lane meet some standards? I don't know.

Not pictured in these lanes: pedestrians ambling blindly with their shopping bags, delivery guys on duct-taped MTB's hauling ass the wrong way, limo drivers idling by the hour....
These are fine to get more people on the bike, and I do think that bike lanes encourage ridership. For me, the bike lane is nice for a bail-out lane and not much else.
first pic with the physically separated lanes I hate cars double parked in bike lanes!! we also need more bike lanes of any kind in lower Manhattan right now its hell for me to get to wall street on a bike.
As for the lane, leave the Lance Amrstrong road bike and bring your fat tire beach cruiser because you will be traveling at 7 mph! There were waaaaaay too many red lights and it seems like you couldn't go 100 yards without reaching some sort of red light. Loads of walkers with dogs and cyclists going the wrong way in the bike lane made you wonder if this is how it's supposed to be. I like the fact the lane reduced the speed on 9th avenue but you really can't go fast at all. I do want to see the lane expanded but I also want the option of riding with regular traffic and no bike lane.

December home-loan defaults soared
Notices in county jumped 121% over previous month
Setting a grim record for monthly gains, notices of home-loan default in San Diego County surged by 121 percent in December over November, dampening hopes that the housing market's three-year slide will soon end.
There were 3,052 notices of default last month, ending a lull in foreclosure activity that began in September. The notices, which mark the start of the foreclosure process, totaled 31,099 for all of last year, a 54 percent jump over 2007, the MDA DataQuick research firm reported yesterday.
Home foreclosures totaled 1,253 in December, up 20 percent from the previous month. There were 17,712 foreclosures within the county in all of 2008, a 141 percent increase over 2007.
The annual totals were the highest since DataQuick began keeping track of county foreclosures in 1988 and defaults in 1992, outpacing the tallies of the mid-1990s, during Southern California's last big housing slump.
Lenders are no longer making the risky adjustable-rate loans that triggered the mortgage market meltdown, but thousands of bad loans have yet to work their way through the system. Many analysts say they are not certain when the pace of foreclosures will slow or when home prices will stop falling.
"That is the big question for all real estate economists," said Mark Goldman, a real estate finance instructor at San Diego State University. "There is a consensus that we will hit a bottom halfway through 2009, but I am not anticipating a rapid recovery."
The recent spike in default notices underscores the inability of government to resolve housing problems at the state and national levels. State lawmakers had hoped Senate Bill 1137, which requires lenders to take more steps to keep troubled borrowers in their homes, would mark a lasting turnaround in foreclosure activity.
The bill took effect in September, causing default notices to decline by nearly 58 percent from August. Foreclosures dropped by nearly 37 percent in October, but the pattern began to reverse in November, when default notices rose by 24 percent over the previous month.
SB 1137 "helped a handful of homeowners, but in terms of reducing foreclosure volumes, all it did was add a delay, and a shorter delay than I expected," said Sean O'Toole, founder of the ForeclosureRadar research firm.
Not all neighborhoods were hit equally by foreclosures in 2008. Coastal areas generally fared well while inland South County communities and several neighborhoods in older urban centers made the top of the list.
The county ZIP code with the highest rate of foreclosures per 1,000 homes in 2008 was 91915, southeast Chula Vista, DataQuick reported. It had 504 foreclosures for the year, a 174 percent increase over 2007. The ZIP code with the highest overall total was 92057, north Oceanside, with a count of 753, a 157 percent rise over 2007.
ZIP codes with more than 500 foreclosures in 2008 were 92154, the Nestor area; 91913, Chula Vista, Eastlake and Otay Ranch; 92027 east Escondido; 91911, south Chula Vista; 91977, Spring Valley; 92114, Encanto; and 91915, southeast Chula Vista.
Last week DataQuick reported that the median home price in the county for 2008 was $360,000, a drop of 24.4 percent from 2007. Sales in 2008 dropped to their lowest level since 1995.
But sales for the month of December increased by nearly 35 percent from a year earlier thanks, in part, to deeply discounted foreclosure homes on the market. In December, just over half of local home resales had been foreclosed upon sometime during the prior year.
"The good news is sales have picked up, indicating the credit freeze is beginning to thaw," said Dustin Hobbs, a spokesman for the California Association of Mortgage Bankers. "However, high foreclosure numbers require lenders and servicers to continue working with homeowners. Low interest rates are certainly a welcome sign, but they are no silver bullet."
