text: Posted 16 Aug 2013 Pass me the pipe brother. Gettis has beat up on third stringers with a former pro-bowler at QB. Now he is better than a reciever who has had steadily increasing production since his rookie year. Proehl said that Gettis just started to run good routes in camp. Zod said that he was invisible all camp until recently. He still catches mostly with his body and has not shown the blocking ability of Lafell. I don't get it. Is this an anti-SEC thing? Not at all. The reality is Gettis has better hands than every WR on the roster minus the obvious, 89. Yes I agree Lafell is a good blocker, however, he isn't a true #2. WE (Panthers Fans) are just basing that fact on there was NOOOOOOOOOOOO competition. Which does NOT mean he is, but he has to be because the roster is full of maybes/should be/potentially/ and growth to average at best. That my friend is a coaching issue to be determined. Gettis is nothing less than #3 and if given that opportunity #2 by mid season. That works in our best interest and gives us our best chances of Playoffs. They have to run him with the 1s. Ginn won't do it in the long run at WR. sip up tho homie. lol 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The state could recoup more than $200 million in annual sales-tax revenues and thousands of jobs in the retail industry if Congress moves to require states to collect and remit the taxes on online purchases.
That's according to a study released by the University of Cincinnati this week on behalf of a retail-merchants group that is pushing for the change.
"This issue is paramount to Ohio's economy," Gordon Gough, executive vice president of the Ohio Council of Retail Merchants, said during a press conference in Columbus on Tuesday.
"Ohio is losing jobs and revenue because of an online sales-tax loophole in federal law [that] allows online-only retailers to avoid collecting sales tax at the point of the sale while brick-and-mortar stores [and] small businesses that are here today do every day."
Legislation introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives would give states the ability to collect sales taxes for online purchases.
Ohio consumers who make online purchases already are supposed to pay sales tax, but many do not.
According to the study, though more than 60 percent of households in the state made at least one purchase from an online seller last year, less than 1 percent of Ohio income- tax returns included sales tax payments on Internet sales, according to the study.
"Given the difficult economic circumstances affecting Ohio's retail businesses and its state and local governments, finding a way to bring fairness to the online sales-tax process would be a huge economic boon to the state," said Jeff Rexhausen, associate director of research at the University of Cincinnati's Economics Center, which produced the study.
Given the costs to our state, I feel we should be ordering on-line sales merchants begin collecting and paying sales taxes to Ohio. Many of these merchants are now off shore and in Asia.
This would be a major blow to internet sales and cause internet merchants to either avoid Ohio sales or pay the tax and provide in-state stores. Policing this will be difficult, but doing nothing is losing us millions of dollars in unpaid sales taxes.
There is a simple solution: TaxCloud (http://taxcloud.net).
The statements by large Internet merchants and others continue to confuse me. My company now utilizes a PayPal checkout button seamlessly integrated with TaxCloud.net. Now my business is enabled to calculate, collect and remit sales tax for any jurisdiction in any state. It is simpler in most cases for my business to calculate and remit sales tax than to deal with shipping. If my business can manage to collect legally due sales tax simplifying my customer's lives, why is it so hard for Ebay, Overstock and their affiliates as NetChoice claims?
Technology available freely on the Internet (like TaxCloud) is more than capable of seamlessly handling sales tax calculation and remittance. Sorry everyone, the "too burdensome" argument carried merit in 1967 and in 1992 (when SCOTUS last ruled on this matter), but in the era of modern computing where Ebay maintains a dominant position, multi-jurisdictional sales tax calculation and remittance is easily accomplished. TaxCloud accurately calculated sales tax for any jurisdiction for any state in less than 13 MILLISECONDS!
So what is the real reason Ebay and other companies choose to evade supporting our schools, hospitals, infrastructure, libraries, public parks and so much more by refusing to easily collect and remit sales tax legally due?
It is clear that the real burden of sales tax falls upon the consumer, and there is no burden to business of any size. Any business can easily calculate, collect and remit sales tax legally due utilizing modern technology while simultaneously realizing greater efficiencies and profit. Consumers truly benefit by eliminating the burden of having to track and remit sales tax due on Internet purchases.
The MSFA (Main Street Fairness Act) is proper legislation enabling states rights to collect sales tax legally due while maintaining states individual rights to tax independently. Remember the Boston Tea Party. Origin based sales tax fails to maintain state's Constitutional autonomous taxing authority.
Unrealized to most consumers are the true costs of permitting and embracing the illegal practice of tax evasion. This year Connecticut enacted the largest tax increase in it's history. The increase included eliminating clothing exemptions, raising the sales tax rate %.35, %1 on all luxury goods over $1000 and tax on alcohol went up %20. CT is not alone. West Virginia now taxes groceries to make up for lost sales tax revenues resulting from increasing convenience of online shopping. Rhode Island as well as doubled, that's right a %100 increase, on all park entry and parking fees. Property taxes in states such as NY have increasing at an alarming rate to maintain funding primarily for education.
Lower income wage earners are actually the hardest hit. Without the means and available credit to participate in online sales their only option is to shop locally paying increased sales tax rates, such as in CT, paying the tax bill for those who selfishly continue to evade their tax obligations. More interesting is the fact that for every million dollars in sales a brick and mortar company provides 3.8 jobs, while large online merchants provide only .8 jobs for the same amount of sales. Tax policies are not created or imposed to provide segregation of businesses. The passage of the MSFA will level the playing field benefitting many businesses and workers in every state.
Sales tax is a fair and impartial tax billed directly to the consumer and in no way harms businesses when applied fairly and equally. Mall vacancy rates are now over %20 nationally and increasing as more brick and mortar stores continue to close their doors. As more stores close jobs are lost, homes are lost and.... you get the picture. The real burden is now upon the millions of small businesses who provide many more jobs and opportunities to find ways to compete with the large Internet retailers.
The real burden today is upon the consumer and the many small to medium d businesses being consumed by misinformation. I discovered that by progressively employing modern technology my small start up business is now able to compete in any state without fear of nexus laws or affiliate relationships, and is more efficient and profitable. The Main Street Fairness Act will enable states rights to collect sales tax legally due providing much needed revenue, create and save many jobs, and most importantly permit states to eliminate other harmful taxing methods while simultaneously removing the many burdens confronting businesses today.
I applaud Amazon for their Integrity publicly supporting the Main Street Fairness Act.

"A Modern City in the Old Pueblo" Top 5 Page for this destination Tucson by lamentforicarus
Tucson Travel Guide: 965 reviews and 2,224 photos
The sleek high-rise buildings and modern shopping centers in downtown often mislead visitors to think of Tucson as a relatively young and upcoming city. In fact, it is one of the oldest inhabited areas of the United States, with Paleoindian artifacts dating back 12,000 years. Permanent agricultural settlements first began to appear in the area around 1000 B.C. The Tucson Presidio was established in 1775 by Hugo O'Conor, marking the birth date of the town. In 1821, Tucson declared its independence from New Spain and joined Mexico for more than thirty years before the Gadsden Purchase turned Tucson over to the United States. Evidence of Tucson's rich history and unique cultural identity and can be seen in the San Xavier Mission, one of the oldest buildings in the nation (see my Must See pages), and the Yaqui and Tohono O'odham Nations nearby.
Today, Tucson embraces a diverse make up of Native American, Spanish, Mexican, and Anglo-American culture, and celebrates its heritage through a multitude of festivities and events occurring throughout the year. Experience a Yaqui dear dance, a tradition which combines native belief with the Catholic holiday of Easter, introduced by the Spanish. Celebrating Cinco de Mayo or El Dia de los Muertos serves as a reminder of Tucson's strong Mexican heritage.
The natural beauty of the Sonoran desert abounds in the city and its surroundings, drawing hoards of tourists each year. The wide variety of plant and animal life attracts nature-lovers from around the world, and can be seen on the rocky trails of Sabino Canyon, which bend around Saguaros and Prickly Pear cacti in the Catalina Mountains, or the footpaths of Tohono Chul Park (see my Must See pages), where thousands of flowers draw tiny hummingbirds and brightly colored butterflies.
No visitor to Tucson will find a shortage of sights to see and activities to do. Whether you come for the natural beauty and serenity of the Sonoran desert, the 360 days of annual sunshine, or the extraordinary culture and history, you will be captivated by the city's old charm and young heart.
- Pros:Desert beauty, rich history, and laid back attitude
- Cons:Hot in the summer!

The members of the Franklin City Council didn't get a say, despite asking, in whether to sell the former city hall to a restaurant developer.
The city's redevelopment commission will finalize a deal Monday to sell the former city hall. But city council members had raised concerns about whether the developer has the money to complete the project and whether the brewpub would be the best use for the building.
A change in state law taking effect July 1 would require the elected city council to approve selling any property owned by the appointed redevelopment commission. The commission set a special meeting for Monday to finalize the deal, one week from when the new law takes effect. Council members asked the commission to wait until after July 1 and make a presentation to the council before agreeing to sell the building.
Council President Steve Barnett and members Joe Abban and Joe Ault raised concerns about whether the commission is rushing the deal to avoid having to get the extra approval.
"July 1 doesn't matter. If it's a good idea and it has to come in front of the city council, no one is going to say anything about it. I think we have enough common sense on the council to make a good business decision," Abban said. "If they're pushing it because of that, that makes me think there's something wrong with the deal."
Redevelopment commission members said the timing is coincidental and they've been working with 55 West Madison LLC, a recently formed company headed by Franklin resident Phil Warrenburg, for almost a year to negotiate the deal. Delaying the sale could derail the project, commission president Bob Heuchan said.
The commission has done extensive work to check the developer's financial plan and protect the investment the city is making with tax dollars. Requiring even more review could send a poor message to other developers, commission member Jay Goad said.
"Other investors are going to come to this city and say, 'I'm not going through this circus,'" Goad said.
The commission gave initial approval to the deal this week and set the special meeting for Monday on a 4-1 vote. Member Rob Henderson, who is also a city council member, voted against it, saying he wanted council members to have input.
"I think there would have been a pleasant outcome and a lot of support," Henderson said.
The redevelopment commission and city council clashed earlier this year on a decision to spend $500,000 in tax dollars to buy laptops for Franklin Community High School. Five out of seven council members were opposed to buying the computers, but the redevelopment commission decided to make the purchase. Council members had issues with that purchase because there wasn't good communication between the panels and they felt like the deal was being rushed, which is similar to what is happening now with the city hall, Barnett said.
Barnett has researched on his own to learn more about the brewpub plan and the safeguards built into the contract to protect the city, such as a mortgage on the building and investment benchmarks the developer needs to reach.
But he is still concerned because the developer hasn't raised all of the money it promised yet. Other council members haven't gotten as much information, so he wanted the redevelopment commission to wait and present the proposal to the council so they could ask their own questions, he said.
Council attorney Lynn Gray also would have a chance to review the contract and give her opinion on how well it protects the city's interests, he said.
The current agreement has been worked on by the redevelopment commission and developer's attorneys, but another review could be beneficial, he said.
"You want to be able to communicate and talk to people and tell us why, RDC, why you want to do this," Barnett said. "I think this will be a good project if the funding is there and they move forward in a timely manner. I'm not against this, but I'm for communication. If everyone communicates together, good things happen."
Commission members and developer attorney Eric Prime dismissed as coincidental the sale being finalized before the July 1 date of the law change. Warrenburg already has waited during the lengthy negotiation that started in March and agreed to city demands, such as
requiring him to take out an additional life insurance policy in case he died before the project was complete, commission members said.
Delaying the project another month or two could discourage additional investors that are needed to complete the project, Prime and Heuchan said.
"If we get this pushed past July, I don't think it's going to happen," Heuchan said. "It's going to continue to sit empty if we push this back any more."
The redevelopment commission has combed through the developer's financial plan and proposal, reviewed the numbers and drafted a solid contract that protects the city's interest in the building, Goad said. City council members, some of whom want to see the city hall turned into a new city court, aren't as familiar with that information, he said.
"We've got a few people that are not dealing with numbers, they're dealing with emotions," he said.
The unfamiliarity with the plan is exactly why the council should get some input, Barnett said. If the council members could learn more about the project, they would either quickly recognize it is a good deal or be able to get answers to their questions if they're not yet convinced, Barnett and Abban said.
"Why would you not take the extra two weeks and allow the council hear the whole story and have that extra comfort level?" Barnett said.

A great example of the Kenton powerhouse in action – a 90 minute double-live recording that really set a new standard for jazz sets of its type! The album features a side apiece dedicated to each of the three acts – one by Kenton's orchestra, one by Christy on vocals, and one by the Four Freshmen – the latter two supported by Kenton's group on their own sides, then joining together for a final fourth side that features all artists together. The approach is a great one – very vibrant, and certainly crowd-pleasing – and titles include "Artistry In Rhythm", "My Old Flame", "I Want To Be Happy", "Midnight Sun", "Day In Day Out", "Angel Eyes", and "Love For Sale".

We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Advantages of the "optical cavity substrate" for real time infrared spectroscopy of plasma–surface interactions91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1456963View Description Hide Description
Infrared reflectance spectroscopy can be used to analyzesurface reactions during the plasma processing of thin films via the characteristicabsorption modes of chemical bonds. However, infrared absorption is a relatively weak effect: to detect a submonolayer quantity of adsorbed or near-surface species in real time, the optical sensitivity must be enhanced in order to produce a measurable reflectance change. This article presents the use of a optically resonant dielectric stack, called an optical cavity substrate, to provide this sensitivity enhancement, and compares this approach quantitatively to other substrate/beam combinations. The optical cavity substrate provides several advantages: (i) a large signal enhancement for both bulk and surface vibrational modes, which is nearly independent of the film refractive index n and thickness up to ∼20 nm, (ii) a large signal enhancement for interfaces buried under thick films, and (iii) a relatively constant baseline signal, which simplifies the data analysis. To demonstrate the power of the optical cavity substrate, we analyze the growth of hydrogenated amorphous silicon in real time.
Spectroscopic properties of in related spinels91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1455153View Description Hide Description
We report the absorption and fluorescence spectra of divalent cobalt in a series of related spinels where B=2, 4, 6, C=4, 7, 10, and x represents the amount of that substitutes for in tetrahedral sites of symmetry. The spectra support the assumption that both and prefer the tetrahedral cation sites during the growth of these crystalline materials. These observations also support earlier conclusions obtained from crystallographic and thermodynamic studies of the MgO and phase diagram. The observed spectra are analyzed and compared to calculated electronic levels derived from lattice-sum models using crystallographic data determined from the crystals grown in the present studies. Comments are made in relevance to the use of these crystals as saturable absorbers for near infrared Q-switched lasers.
Generation and annihilation of boron–oxygen related defects in boron-doped Czochralski-grown Si solar cells91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1459609View Description Hide Description
Defects that reduce the minority-carrier lifetime in silicon crystal are produced by minority-carrier injection (forward bias or light illumination) when the boron-doped Czochralski-grown silicon (Cz-Si) is used as a solar cell material. The number of induced defects is determined from changes in open-circuit voltage of the cells. It increases with the carrier injection time, and then becomes saturated. The saturated value increases as the ambient temperature increases, during the carrier injection. These defects are observed to be vanished by thermal annealing at 200 °C for 20 min, indicating that they are in an unstable state and that some of them are annihilated even during the carrier injection. Therefore, the total number of induced defects to be determined by the difference between the generation and the annihilation rates. The activation energies for the generation process and annihilation process are evaluated to be 0.77 eV and 0.32 eV, respectively.
Anisotropic elastic-stiffness coefficients of an amorphous Ni–P film91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1457542View Description Hide Description
This study presents a complete set of effective elastic-stiffness coefficients of a amorphous-alloy thin filmdeposited on an aluminum-alloy substrate by electroless plating. The film thickness was 12 μm. The electromagnetic-acoustic-resonance method detected resonance frequencies of the triple-layered specimens (film/substrate/film), which enabled us to determine all five independent elastic-stiffness coefficients of the film using known substrate elastic properties. The resulting coefficients were those of a transverse isotropic material. There was strong anisotropy between the in-plane and normal directions; the in-plane Young's modulus is larger than the normal Young's modulus by 34%, for example. The anisotropic coefficients can be interpreted by considering a micromechanics model for local incomplete cohesion (thin ellipsoidal voids) aligned parallel to the film surface.
Temperature stability of sputtered niobium–oxide films91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1458052View Description Hide Description
The effect of annealing temperature on the structural and optical properties of sputtered niobium–oxide films has been investigated. The temperature dependence of structure, density, and optical constants has been studied by Rutherford backscattering,x-ray diffraction,x-ray reflection, optical spectroscopy, and variable angle spectroscopicellipsometry techniques. Rutherford backscattering measurements show no variation in the stoichiometry of the films upon annealing of amorphous films, while amorphous NbO is oxidized to X-ray diffraction studies show that as-deposited films are amorphous and only crystallize at around 500 °C. X-ray reflectivity studies reveal a continuous increase of film density with increasing annealing temperature. Optical spectroscopy and spectroscopicellipsometry confirm that the refractive index n and the band gap increase upon increasing annealing temperature. The variation of the refractive index with density of the niobium–oxide films is observed to follow the Clausius–Mossotti relation and the molecular electronic polarizability has been deduced from the straight line fit of Lorentz–Lorentz law.
Full characterization of the interface between the organic semiconductor copper phthalocyanine and gold91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1459620View Description Hide Description
We present a study of the interfaceproperties of the molecular organic semiconductorcopper phthalocyanine (CuPC) on single crystalline as well as polycrystallineAu using photoemissionspectroscopy. Despite the different orientation of the molecules on the two substrates, the observed energy level alignment is identical. We observe the formation of an interface dipole while band bending is very small. In addition, we have carried out complementary studies of the CuPC/GeS(001) interface to pin down photoemission final state effect contributions to the observed energy level shifts.
Calculation of thermodynamic, electronic, and optical properties of monoclinic91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1454206View Description Hide Description
Ab initio total-energy density functional theory is used to investigate the low temperature (LT) monoclinic form of The calculated minimum energy geometry of LT is close to that determined from neutron diffraction data, and the complex is close to a regular tetrahedron. The enthalpies of the phase change to high temperature (HT) pseudo-cubic and of hydrogen absorption by are calculated and compared with experimental values. LT is found to be a semiconductor with an indirect band gap of 1.4 eV. The optical dielectric function of LT differs somewhat from that of the HT phase. A calculated thin film transmittance spectrum is consistent with an experimental spectrum.
Effects of fluorine on structure, structural relaxation, and absorption edge in silica glass91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1459102View Description Hide Description
The effects of fluorine (F) doping on silica glass structure, structural relaxations, and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) absorption edge were investigated by the infrared and vacuum ultraviolet absorption measurements. Linewidth of 2260 absorption band, which is one of the good indicators of structural disorder, decreases proportionally to the fictive temperature On the other hand, it is irrespective of F concentration. Structural relaxations are strongly stimulated by F doping. The transparency near the absorption edge depends on both F concentration and When is constant, absorption edge shifts to a shorter wavelength proportionally to the F concentration. These results strongly suggest that there are two main factors that control the VUV absorption edge of F-doped silica glass; band gap widening by increasing Si–F bond and reduction of structural disorder. The latter factor is not directly caused by structural change by F doping. F enhances the structural relaxation, and it is easy to obtain samples with lower resulting in reducing structural disorder. Furthermore, a way to determine of F-doped silica glass is offered.
Acceptor diffusion and segregation in heterostructures91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1461060View Description Hide Description
Acceptor segregation is investigated as a function of compositional difference, between adjacent layers in heterostructures.Magnesium,Zn, Be, and Mn acceptor species are all shown to segregate out of the high band gap Al-rich layers and into the low band gap Al-poor layers during high temperature epitaxialgrowth of such heterostructures. The observed acceptor segregation appears to be independent of growth method or dopant incorporation method (metalorganic chemical vapor deposition, gas source molecular-beam epitaxy, or ion implantation), and increases with increasing compositional difference between adjacent layers. A theoretical model is developed to describe acceptor segregation based on charge separation and the resulting electric field across the heterointerface, and the resulting acceptor segregation is shown to vary as where and are the hole effective masses in the active layer and confining layer, and is the valence band offset. Comparison between experimentally measured and theoretically predicted acceptor segregation ratios gives excellent agreement for heterostructures over the range of compositional differences from to
Rapid thermal annealing of grown by radio-frequency plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy and its effect on photoluminescence91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1454193View Description Hide Description
The effect of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) on GaNAs films grown on GaAs (100) substrates by radio frequency plasma-assisted solid sourcemolecular beam epitaxy was investigated by low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) and high-resolution x-ray diffraction (HR-XRD) measurements. GaNAs samples with N content of 1.3% and 2.2% determined by experimental curve fitting of x-ray rocking curve with the dynamical diffraction theory, exhibit an overall blueshift in energy of 67.7 meV and an intermediate redshift of 42.2 meV in the PL spectra when subjected to RTA at for 10 min. The results suggest that the GaNAs layer may have undergone an intermediate substitutional–interstitial diffusion in addition to purely outdiffusion of nitrogen atoms. Samples annealed at showed 1.7–2.1 times improvement in integrated PL intensity and 1.6–1.8 times reduction in PL full width half maximum as compared to the as-grown sample. The HR-XRD results show no significant changes in GaNAs lattice parameter between the as-grown and annealed samples. This indicates the samples are thermally stable, with low overall nitrogen outdiffusion. The results have significant implication on the growth and postgrowth treatment of GaNAs material for high performance optoelectronic device application.
Photoreflectance study in the and transition regions of GaP91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1461067View Description Hide Description
Photoreflectance (PR) measurements have been carried out to determine the and critical-point (CP) parameters in GaP at temperatures between 12 and 300 K using a He–Cd laser as modulation light source. The measured PR spectra provide distinct structures at ∼2.75–2.85 eV and ∼2.85–2.95 eV These structures are successfully explained by a three-dimensional (3D) one-electron line shape plus an excitonic shape. The temperature dependence of the 3D CP and excitonic parameters (energy, amplitude, and broadening parameter) have been determined and analyzed using the Varshni equation and an empirical expression of Bose–Einstein type. The rapid decrease in the PR signal amplitudes is observed at T<100 K and can be explained by the weakened surface electric fields due to carrier freezing at such low temperatures. The 3D exciton binding energy at the edges of GaP has also been determined to be 13 meV.
Optical parameters of a magnetized space-charge neutral group IV semiconductor91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1456245View Description Hide Description
Using a hydrodynamic model of semiconductorplasmas, we report an analytical investigation of hot-carrier induced nonlinearity and its impact on the optical parameters (refractive index and absorption coefficient) of a magnetized, space-charge neutral group IV semiconductor. The carrier heating by the pump is assumed to induce nonlinearity in the medium through momentum transfer collision frequency ν of the carriers and space-charge neutrality of the medium. For the linear optical parameters both electrons and holes are found to contribute resonantly at high frequency of the pump For the nonlinear optical parameters the holes contribute significantly in the low pump frequency regime whereas in the high pump frequency regime both kinds of carriers contribute resonantly in which a much larger contribution comes from the electrons.
Outgoing multiphonon resonant Raman scattering and luminescence in Be- and C-implanted GaN91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1455682View Description Hide Description
We have performed outgoing resonantRaman scattering and photoluminescencemeasurements on as-grown, Be- and C-implanted GaN in the temperature range of 77–330 K. In implanted GaN after postimplantation annealing at 1100 °C, the multiphonons up to the seventh order were observed with the very strong four longitudinal optical (LO) and five LO modes at ∼2955 and ∼3690 cm−1, respectively, showing extraordinary resonance behavior. With the sample temperature, these two modes significantly decreased and increased in intensity, respectively. The phenomenon is attributed to the variation of resonant conditions due to the shift of the band gapenergy. Meanwhile, the combination of and quasi-LO phonons was strongly enhanced by quasi-LO phonon involvement and thus the corresponding overtones can be clearly observed even up to the sixth order The mechanisms that such strong outgoing multiphonon resonance Raman scattering occurred to implanted GaN instead of high-quality as-grown GaN samples can be attributed to the strong Frohlich-induced scattering by LO phonons and exciton-mediated resonantRaman scattering with impurity inducement.
Electronic linear energy transfer dependent molecular structural growth in polyethylene terephthalate91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1462424View Description Hide Description
Thin films (13 μm) of polyethelene terephthalate (PET) are irradiated by different swift metallic heavy ions (180 MeV and 200 MeV with the projectile linear energy transfer (LET) (∼10–14 keV/nm), respectively. LET dependence on the molecular structural changes in PFT irradiated at different ion fluences has been studied by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The study has revealed that beyond a critical LET entirely different pathways of amorphization beginning with partial recrystallization at lower ion fluence impact occurs in PET, contrary to the earlier established results. At considerably higher LET (∼14 keV/nm), the most characteristic crystalline stretching and bending vibration bands such as at 850 rocking), 972 (C=O stretching), 1341 and 1471 bending) in PET have shown a significant rise in the respective infrared absorbance intensities upon lower ion fluence impact. The absence of previously reported unsaturations such as alkynes at both the LET beam used are also observed. Interestingly, the aromatic system also appears to be unstable and participating in the modification process, particularly at the higher LET (∼14 KeV/nm). Possible interpretations are discussed.
GaCl molecular dynamics on a GaAs surface during GaAs epitaxial growth91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1461900View Description Hide Description
To verify that a high quality layer was grown on a GaAs(001) substrate but not on a GaAs(110) substrate, we studied the dynamical behaviors of GaCl molecules on GaAs(001) and GaAs(110) surfaces. Trapped GaCl desorbed rapidly from the GaAs(110) surface compared to the GaAs(001) surface. We estimated the activation energy corresponding to GaCl trapping wells to be 92 kJ/mol on the GaAs(001) surface and 54 kJ/mol on the GaAs(110) surface. These results suggest that the interaction between GaCl molecules and GaAssurfaces deeply influences the quality of layers grown on GaAs substrates.
Formation of MnSb during the growth of MnSi layers in the presence of an Sb flux91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1461063View Description Hide Description
Structural and compositional analyses of a MnSi layer have been performed to elucidate the growth mechanism. The MnSi layer was grown by reactive deposition epitaxy in the presence of an Sb flux. The existence of Sb was found at the MnSi/Si interface and on the surface of MnSi layer by secondary ion mass spectrometry. In addition, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurement shows that MnSb is formed on the surface of the grown MnSi layer. On the atomic scale, scanning transmission electron microscopy observations reveal the existence of an Sb–Mn–Sb structure at the interface between the MnSi layer and the Si substrate. The formation of the MnSb plays an important role for the improvement of crystalline quality of the silicide layer, acting both as a surfactant and as a compliant substrate for stress relief.
Zero-dimensional excitons in CdTe/ZnTe nanostructures91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1436560View Description Hide Description
Thin CdTe layers embedded in ZnTe matrix grown by atomic layer epitaxy have been studied by time resolved spectroscopy and spatially resolved spectroscopy. The presence of Cd-rich dotlike islands in these CdTenanostructures is shown by both atomic force microscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. Zero-dimensional nature of excitons is shown both by the temperature dependence of the decay time and observation of sharp exciton lines in microphotoluminescence spectra. Zero-dimensional excitons probed by microphotoluminescence present a doublet structure linearly polarized along two orthogonal directions. This doublet structure is attributed to bright heavy-hole exciton states split by the local asymmetry of the localization potential. Reversible spectral shifts in the emission of some single quantum dots are observed on a time scale of hundreds of milliseconds. These small shifts can be attributed to the Stark effect caused by fluctuating electric fields and can significantly affect time-integrated transition linewidths.
Spectroscopic studies of nitrogenated amorphous carbon films prepared by ion beam sputtering91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1459610View Description Hide Description
Spectroscopicanalysis of the unhydrogenated amorphous carbon nitride films, prepared by ion beamsputtering, was done by ellipsometry, Raman scattering and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopic(XPS) studies. The optical gap of the films was estimated from the Tauc's analysis of the (n,k) data obtained from spectroscopicellipsometry. In addition to the commonly observed D and G bands at ∼1350 cm−1 and 1550 cm−1, respectively, we detected a separate band at ∼1450 cm−1 in the Raman spectrum of films. This intermediate peak was unambiguously identified as the N band arising out of the nitrogen–nitrogen bonding, due to the incorporation of nitrogen in the a-C network. High resolution XPS C and N peaks were used to estimate the nitrogen content in the films and various bonding configurations were identified from their Gaussian deconvolution. An increase in the intensity ratio of CN and CC components, in the C spectra signified increasing nitrogenation of the carbon network. Deconvolution of the N spectra revealed that the -hybridized component remained unchanged at ∼40%, however, the -hybridized component increased in intensity when the nitrogen content in the network increased systematically. Increasing nitrogenation led to the graphitization of the network and resulted in a gradual decrease in the optical gap, along with simultaneous increase in the and intensity ratios in the Raman band.
Glass transition, crystallization kinetics and pressure effect on crystallization of ZrNbCuNiBe bulk metallic glass91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1461892View Description Hide Description
The glass transition behavior and crystallization kinetics of bulk metallic glass have been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and x-ray powder diffraction(XRD). The activation energies of both glass transition and crystallization events have been obtained using the Kissinger method. Results indicate that this glasscrystallizes by a three-stage reaction: (1) phase separation and primary crystallization of glass, (2) formation of intermetallic compounds, and (3) decomposition of intermetallic compounds and crystallization of residual amorphous phase. The pressureeffect on crystallization is studied by in situhigh-pressure and high-temperature XRD using synchrotron radiation. Two crystallization temperatures, observed by in-situXRD, behave differently with varying pressure. The onset crystallization temperature increases with pressure with a slope of 9.5 K/GPa in the range of 0 to 4.4 GPa, while the another crystallization temperature keeps almost unchanged in the applied pressure range. The results are attributed to the competing processes between the thermodynamic potential barrier and the diffusion activation energy under pressure.
Kinetics of the late stage of first-order phase transitions under laser irradiation91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1445491View Description Hide Description
The effect of radiation on the kinetics of the late stage of first-order phase transitions (Ostwald's ripening) was studied. In particular, features of the growth kinetics of nuclei were revealed in relation to their size and time of exposure to radiation. Possible approaches to controlling the nucleus growth kinetics were shown.

Interesting, so only roughly 1384 people can lay claims...
692x12=8304 (number of total pokemon multiplied by claims allowed per pokemon)
8304 devided by 6= 1384 (total claims devided by max number of claims per person)
Of course, that's non-including the people who don't lay the max amounts of claims, nor does it count the amount of people who end up with forfeited claim. But of course, the max amount of people able to lay claim only increases slightly.
'Allo, you may adress me as Lord AtemAndrew. That's L-O-R-D, A-T-E-M, A-N-D-R-E-W. Got that memmorized? Good, because I'm one helluva pokemon expert.
Also, the card depicts but one of my teams... all fully owned, I assure you.

text: Used Land Rover Freelander Station Wagon (1997 - 2003) Driving & Performance Review by Parkers on 01 Jan 1997 Last Updated: 17 Sep 2013 3.5 Freelander is the junior member of 4x4's most aristocratic family – Land Rover. Range Rover lords it over premium 4x4s; Discovery splashes through swamps or strolls through suburbia in equal style, while Defender's genes have made it a faithful retainer on the country estate for generations. Latest Land Rover Freelander review Summary Driving & Performance Equipment Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Owners' Reviews Also Consider Facts & Figures Gallery 4 out of 5 Performance View full gallery All models are equally happy in the country and around town. The 177 bhp 2.5 V6 is the performance choice with a 0-60 time of just over ten seconds, but it's thirsty, giving just 22.7 mpg on the Combined test. The four cylinder 1.8 is a lot less powerful (118 bhp), but offers greater economy and adequate performance figures. Diesels are particularly frugal for their class.The modern BMW-sourced 2.0 Td4 is the best all-rounder, with a Combined fuel consumption figure of 37.2 mpg and petrol-like characteristics. The less refined 2.0 di was produced until 2000 and returns 36.2 mpg. 3 out of 5 Handling Almost car-like to drive, Freelander makes it a credible day-to-day runabout. On normal roads it's stable and doesn't roll much, with a composed and well-controlled ride. The five-door can be awkward to park because its size and the high window lines hinder visibility. Off-road performance upholds Land Rover family expectations; it doesn't disappoint under most conditions, though there's no dual-ratio gearbox (the Hill Descent Control system makes up for this) and ground clearance is quite low for a serious 4x4.

The Internet really is making the world a smaller place. Years ago presidents and other world leaders could have extensive private lives that were truly private. Now, with the 24-hour news cycle and the World Wide Web enabling just about anyone to become a publisher, any idiot sitting in a small town in Vermont can find out more than he ever wanted to know about everyone from his neighbor to the most powerful people in the world.
One recent morning, my husband, Mark, and I sat on the back porch with our feet up, drinking our coffee and enjoying some much-needed sunshine. A typical late spring scene, really.
Except, perhaps, for the goat.
Lucy, our one remaining goat, had trip-trapped onto the porch like she often does, to stare at us with her lazy yellow eyes. And smirk. She's always smirking.
"I'll believe it when I see it!"
As a child, I became familiar with that expression. It might have had something to do with my walking into the house with muddy sneakers for the billionth time. Or my incessant insistence from the backseat of the station wagon that my sister was on my side — she crossed the line! At times like these, my mother would give me a look and offer a well-earned corrective. Before the bench of maternal justice, I'd offer guaranteed forecasts of better behavior. The Judge looked hopeful, if unconvinced.
This week's writer is Kelly Stoddard, director of government relations and advocacy in Vermont for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network.
I have a favorite moment at Middlebury College basketball games. It's when François Clemmons begins to sing the National Anthem.
I dreaded the Anthem when I was an athlete. I was ready to play the game. Starters had been announced and were out on the playing surface, tense, excited, full of adrenaline. Let's go!
Then we had to wait, often for a scratchy recording, sometimes for a live singer, who sang at a funereal pace.
Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., recently announced that he would not run for re-election in 2014. Johnson's announcement could impact the career of Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy over the next two years.
We are surrounded by marble and granite, so much so that we rarely give it a thought. Much of the state is made of the stuff, our mountains and courthouses and old inns.
Marble and granite are among our most famous exports. When we see TV images of the U.S. Supreme Court and the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials, we are looking at pieces of Vermont.
What happens, though, when we see the stone itself as art?
This week's writer is Ron Shems, chair of the Natural Resources Board, the agency that administers Act 250.
There has been a lot of press coverage of a recent letter issued by Act 250 on whether the WhistlePig LLC distillery is "farming" for Act 250 purposes. The complete story should be heard.

When you're faced with relapse or persistent anxiety part of you might feel defeated. Like no matter what you do you just can't seem to get the upper hand against your anxiety. I certainly felt that way when I had a few good days in a row followed by a return of anxious thoughts or symptoms. In my view, it is okay to acknowledge how you feel in those dark, lonely moments. Yet, it can be dangerous to linger too long on those kinds of negative thoughts. Dangerous in that anxiety tends to build on itself and the more you stand still and ponder how
How to Avoid the Gloom of Anxiety
At the peak of my anxiety I was miserable. I missed out on all kinds of fun because of it. But at the time it was hard to not feel that way. Anxiety always seemed busy producing a never-ending lineup of frightening symptoms for me to contend with. It started with palpitations, then stomach problems, then out of control worry. And every time I mastered one symptom a brand new one would sprout up in its place. What made things worse is that I didn't spend my time trying to get better. I just dove deeper into my little self-created hell. In fact,
The One Simple Way to Silence Your Anxious Mind
Having random thoughts is normal. You could be brushing your teeth and start thinking about whether or not you locked your car or about what you did with those TPS reports at work. It happens to all of us. But what happens when you experience high anxiety along with random thoughts? The short answer is that your mind will often wander into a very negative space. You might start thinking about the past, the future, or about all the ways that anxiety might ruin your life. Anxiety can provide a never ending stream of negative outcomes. And, of
3 Genius Fixes For Internalized Anxiety
Today I want to introduce you to a single concept. It's called externalization. In my view, learning externalization techniques can set you on a new path. One that leads far, far away from high anxiety. See, when you have really bad anxiety it's common to assume that you and your anxiety are one and the same. For example, people often say things like "I'm such an anxious person." If this is the narrative that you have adopted then over time it becomes hard to tell where you start and where anxiety ends. It makes anxiety feel embedded. This is
How I Tamed the Anxiety Beast
I don't remember struggling with anxiety growing up. Looking back, there are few signs and moments that pointed towards what would later grow into a beast. I was social without hesitation, very outgoing, and not afraid of new places or speaking up in public. I don't remember even knowing what the words panic attack meant. The Beast Is Born Flash forward to college. The anxiety beast found its roots in my long-term highly abusive relationship. I was eighteen years old and in love with a nightmare. The domestic violence I experienced involved
The Problem With Modern Psychotherapy
Over the past 100 years clinicians and researchers have worked hard to improve what we call psychotherapy. Many of those improvements have led to standardization and improved outcomes. Nowadays, everything is "evidenced based" which is, of course, a good thing. Yet there remains a huge problem in mental health, and it isn't the hundreds of models of therapy that are now available. Rather, it's the large proportion of people delivering these interventions that suck at their job. Now, to be fair, there are many talented people providing mental
The Power of Anxious Thinking
If there's one thing that anxious people need, it's constant reminding. This isn't because they don't understand what's happening to them, rather it's because anxiety is distracting. Feelings of anxiety, physical symptoms, and worry take attention away from solutions and keep you focused on potential danger instead. Anxiety is good at that, but it's not exactly helpful to stay problem focused, right? That's why this week I want to review a topic that is near and dear to my heart: Anxious thinking. I've discussed this issue several times
How I Conquered 7 of My Greatest Fears in One Week
I never hide the fact that I still get anxious sometimes. Despite not having the overt symptoms that I used to have, there are days when my skills get put to the test. Case in point: My recent vacation to Cozumel. After years of feeling pretty Yoda like, I figured this vacation would be no big deal. That is, of course, until I started to think about all the various things I'd have to overcome to make this vacation happen. Suddenly I was faced with 7 of my greatest fears. Sure, I know a lot about anxiety and anxiety reduction, but the truth
Health Anxiety, Guilt Trips, and Tropical Vacations
Hey Guys, I hope all is well. I've been pretty swamped lately but starting tomorrow I'll finally get a chance to chill out a bit. I'll be traveling to Cancun tonight and staying there for about a week. I won't be working while I'm there, so I thought it would be a good time to post a new podcast. Lately I've been receiving a ton of email about various issues related to health anxiety. So I thought it would be helpful to revisit this issue but also provide more detail about the different kinds of health anxiety that people struggle with. Like

D800 or 800e? Any difference for ap?
I'm a nikon shooter, and am starting my initial steps into ap. I'm looking at an 800 anyway, and am curious if it really matters which one I get to do ap? Would the E version produce more false colors in stars than the regular 800, or vice versa? If I get better as I go along, I'll be moving on to a mono CCD. For tooth cutting purposes though, I'll start with my dslr's. Any advice is welcome. Also, I do know about Canons offerings but, am not interested. Unless, someone wants to buy for me, that is!

Another question. How feasible is it to change the way how text is displayed? Like instead of you just going up to a person, talking to them and text appearing at the bottom of the screen you go up to a person, talk to them but the screen turns a bit dark and a picture of the main character and the person they're talking to appear while the pictures sometimes change to convey emotions? Like in other RPGs?
One way to do that is what speedster said, however I know for a fact I've seen a tutorial on how to make "mugshots" appear, and I've seen it in a hack too...I just don't know where the tutorial is. JPANs hack engine has a picture display command which will display images without having to substitute pokemon for it.

I've never been able to connect to other DS's via a computer, but using a flash cart to play a rom on a DS will work.

Can't get new set of free bytes for inserting another sprites.
I thought that my rom (FireRed) may be damaged somehow, so I tried another one, but after inserting same sprites, same problem popped up.
I'm not sure what chaning means, but maybe using wichu's sprite editor would help you.
I think I'm done with ROM hacking. I'll still pop in and visit, though.
