You're welcome, NBA: 5 former Jazzmen thriving with new teams
As the Bobcats' go-to guy, Jefferson, who was recently featured in Sports Illustrated, may lead the club to its first playoff appearance since 2009-10, when it was swept by the Orlando Magic in the first round. The Bobcats are currently sitting in the Eastern Conference's No. 7 spot with a 34-37 record.

Very upset that we lost Milsap, Jefferson and Carroll. What has been gained with Kantor, Favors and Hayward? No chance for a playoff spot now or in the forseeable future, that's what. So many wanted players to be gone last year. Now the same people want this year's players to leave. Should have been happy to keep the above mentioned players.

I'm all in for the youth movement. Not a fan of the 7th and 8th spot every year. I would rather have a couple of bad seasons and start over than live through another mediocre 8 seed season. Love the young guys and with a couple of pieces and more experience this will be a good basketball team. Go Jazz

It is not easy to work in Dadaab at this time. It is not easy for anyone. Everyone is tired, exhausted by the numerous weekly meetings to organize the lives of 470,000 people in the most human and reasonable way possible. Everyone is submerged in work. The day begins at 6 in the morning and ends at 8 at night, when one lies down with no strength left. After months of hearing about only desperation and death, seeing the foundations going up where three weeks ago there was nothing, is like seeing hope grow. To know that at least 2,000 of the children that are now running behind cars (because there is no one who takes care of them), will have a place to stay, where they can learn, and where they can feel safe and protected, fills the heart with joy and with the meaning of all of our work. The people who arrive here want to live, to realize their potential, to see their children become ready to face the world beyond the invisible and visible fences of a refugee camp. Those first holes in the ground, where the foundations of the school will be placed, are there to witness that hope is not just for fools, but is for each of us. How you can help:

Drs. Carolyn and Murl Dirksen were guests at the centennial of Henan University in Kaifeng, China, earlier this fall.
While there, they represented Lee University at a convention of two international higher education groups at SIAS University in Xinzheng, which is also in the Henan province. The gathering there, of the International Association of Universities and the Association of Universities in Asia and the Pacific, conducted business and then went as an honored delegation to the centennial celebration.
"It was amazing," said Dr. Carolyn Dirksen, who is vice president for Academic Affairs at Lee, and also an honorary professor at Henan University. "They stopped traffic in a city of five million people so our bus could get to the ceremony."
The Dirksens spent a year teaching English at Henan University through the English Language Institute in 1984 and began a relationship with the institution that has been developing ever since.
She said of their original work there, "It was really one of the first exchange relationships between a university in the U.S. – particularly a Christian university – and a university in China. This country and its people, especially those we worked with at these two colleges, have held a special place in our hearts since then."
"We were blown away by how spectacular the celebration was and by the feeling of welcome. It was inspiring," Dr. Dirksen said.
Centennials being rare, Henan had reason to pull out all the stops. Lee University will celebrate the same milestone in five years.
Originally founded to train Chinese scholars to study abroad, Henan University began teaching Chinese as a second language in 1985. Since then, more than 3,000 overseas students have been admitted. Going back as far as 1986, students from Lee have studied at Henan University as part of Lee's exchange, and Lee graduate Callie Smith, is currently teaching there. Lee is also hosting a student from Henan, Yan Wei.
Presently, Henan University maintains 11 branches of learning: liberal arts, science, engineering, economics, management, law, philosophy, education, history, agriculture and medicine. It consists of 26 schools and teaching departments.
SIAS International University is located in Xinzheng, a suburb of Zhengzhou in Henan Province. Founded with less than $2 million, it has grown from 250 students to 16,000 students, many of whom say they chose SIAS because of the American-style campus life.

Cooper (9-7) won his third straight start by holding the Nationals to one unearned run while scattering four hits. He struck out seven and walked one batter. Over his final three outings of the season, the right-hander surrendered just one unearned run and two walks over 19 innings. He fanned 16 in the process of winning all three decisions.
Grant Sides earned his fifth save, tossing a perfect ninth. Carolina improves to 63-73 while Potomac drops to 61-74. The Wilmington Blue Rocks were also a winner to eliminate the Nationals from the postseason.
Rob Gilliam (1-2) took the loss after allowing three runs over seven innings. Trailing 1-0 in the last of the second, the Mudcats went to work against the right-hander. Todd Hankins doubled to lead off, and scored on a base hit by LeVon Washington. The speedy center fielder would later score on a double by Justin Toole, giving Carolina a 2-1 lead.
That one-run advantage would be all Cooper needed, but shortstop Tony Wolters provided insurance by scorching a line drive over the right field wall for a 3-1 edge. The shot was Wolters' eighth of the year and second in as many games.
The Carolina Mudcats finish their series with the Potomac Nationals on Friday, August 30, at 7:15 p.m. It is the final home game of the regular season for the Mudcats. Tickets are available by calling (919) 269-2287 or visiting carolinamudcats.com.

The invention herein claimed was reduced to practice in the course of/or under contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency of the United States Department of Defense.
This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 796,641 filed May 13, 1977, now abandoned.
This invention relates generally to a charge storage and transfer structure and more particularly to an interface structure for the storage and transfer of input data from a CCD array to a liquid crystal light valve.
In a copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 005,418 filed on Jan. 22, 1979, which stands allowed entitled, "High Resolution Continuously Substituted Silicon Photodiode Substrate" by Grinberg, et al and assigned to the present assignee, there is disclosed and generically claimed a semiconductor apparatus for the transfer of charge from one surface of a substrate to the opposite through the use of a charge depletion region.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,824,002 issued to Terry D. Beard, entitled "Alternating Current Liquid Crystal Light Valve" and assigned to the present assignee discloses the basic principles of operation of an alternating current liquid crystal light valve which requires that a photoconductor be impedance-matched to the liquid crystal, the photocapacitance of the photoconductor being modulated in response to an input light.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,976,361 issued to Fraas, et al entitled "Charge Storage Diode With Graded Defect Density Photocapacitive Layer" and assigned to the present assignee discloses a different photocondutor for a similar light valve.
The photoconductor consists of a charge storage semiconductor diode with a graded band gap layer increasing the optical absorption coefficient of the region near the rectifying junction to permit the storage of charge.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,032,954 issued on June 28, 1977, by Jan Grinberg, et al, entitled "Silicon Single Crystal Charge Storage Diode" and assigned to the present assignee describes a species of the generic invention of U.S. Pat. No. 3,976,361. This invention presently stands allowed and will issue in due course. It discloses a charge storage photodiode silicon substrate which is doped with a slow recombination center element such as silver, to combine the advantages of a highly developed silicon manufacturing technology with the high liquid crystal stability under ac operating conditions. It is submitted that the inventions disclosed and claimed in the aforementioned patents and patent applications represent thereby significant advances in this art as explained in detail in said patents and patent application.
The aforementioned copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 005,418 discloses the use of a charge depletion region to transfer a plurality of signals from one side of a semiconductor substrate to the opposite with good spatial resolution. As it was indicated in that application, minority carriers representing signals can be generated or injected into the transfer medium through a variety of different means. One such means that was disclosed in that application was the photogeneration of charge carriers inside the transfer medium. The present invention deals primarily with the storage and transfer of minority charge carriers created by different means.
The general purpose of this invention is to provide interface means for coupling CCD signals to a processing circuit. More specifically, it involves a charge transfer structure that passes the charge stored in CCD registers through the thickness of a silicon substrate and into a liquid crystal.
To accomplish this purpose, we have provided a semiconductor apparatus for the transfer of a plurality of signals in the form of minority carriers from a CCD array on a surface of a semiconductor substrate to an opposite surface through the use of at least one charge depletion region in the semiconductor substrate while maintaining their spatial resolution. This apparatus includes a semiconductor substrate on a surface of which there is an insulating layer and at least one set of electrodes in this insulating layer forming a surface CCD structure on this surface of the substrate. This apparatus further includes some means for establishing a charge depletion region of a predetermined size on another side of this substrate opposite the CCD. With the proper voltage bias on the CCD electrodes, the charge that is stored under these electrodes will diffuse towards the depletion region and will be field guided while it is in the depletion region and it will be injected into a utilization structure.
The utilization structure may be a light modulated display medium such as a liquid crystal layer with its associated interface layers.
The means for creating a depletion region in the substrate may be a reverse biased diode, such as that disclosed in the aforementioned copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 792,842, filed on May 2, 1977 or a series of reverse biased discrete PN junctions or a Schottky barrier gate diode, or any other scheme that can deplete a semiinsulating substrate of its mobile charge carriers. The use of a high resistivity silicon (or other semiconductor material) makes easier the depletion of the mobile charges from the structure. When the substrate is depleted, it permits the electric field lines within the depleted region to focus the flow of charge from the CCD buckets to the liquid crystal. Thus, the resolution of the image is preserved.
A CCD input register can be used to accept serial input data, store it and reformat it for subsequent parallel processing. Our invention provides a charge transfer structure that passes the charge stored in the CCD registers through the thickness of the silicon substrate and into a liquid crystal or other equivalent light modulated display medium. Such a structure is useful for many wide bandwidth optical data processing applications. For example, an optical data processing liquid crystal light valve structure that accepts the distribution of charge from the CCD and converts it to an equivalent variation of optical birefringence can be used to spatially modulate a laser beam.
One advantage of the present invention is that it can contain means for protecting the CCD array from the light valve readout light.
Another advantage of the present invention is that it provides a smooth surface for alignment of the liquid crystal layer.
Another advantage of the present invention is that it provides an optically flat and reflective surface for the light valve readout light.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an interface circuit for the transfer of charge carriers representing signals from a CCD array to a liquid crystal or any other light modulated display medium.
It is another object of this present invention to provide a structure to read out, in parallel the charge from a CCD array.
It is another object of this invention to provide a structure for transferring signal representing charge carriers to a liquid crystal while maintaining their spatial resolution.
It is yet another object of the present invention to shield the liquid crystal layer from the clock signal.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a surface that has a negligible electrochemical interaction with the liquid crystal.
These and other objects of the invention will become more fully apparent in the following description of the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic cross-sectional view of a light valve structure employing a prior art readout circuit with the CCD array between the silicon and the liquid crystal layer.
FIG. 2 is an example of an output amplifier for the readout circuit of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic cross-sectional view of a light valve structure constructed in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 4 is an equivalent circuit of the readout structure disclosed and claimed in the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a graph of the voltage peak across the liquid crystal of an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 6 is the liquid crystal response to the voltage of FIG. 5.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a cross-sectional view of two adjacent liquid crystal light valves, each one of which include a prior art CCD readout circuit. They both use a glass substrate 10, followed by CCD structures consisting of a silicon body 14 and an insulating layer 18, made of SiO2, which includes a set of CCD electrodes 20 for each readout circuit appropriately biased for the storage and sequential transfer of packets of charge.
In the dielectric layer there is also a grounded shield layer 22 and an output electrode 24 which is connected to a sense diode 26 through an output amplifier 28. A gate signal in electrode 30 transfers the charge from the CCD channel to the depletion layer of the PN junction in the sense diode 26 and then through output amplifier 28 to the output electrode 22. The shield electrode 22 is grounded and is there to protect the output electrode 24 from the clock signal of electrode 30. Next to the output electrode 24 are interface layers 32 and 34 that can be a light blocking layer and a mirror, respectively. These interface layers are followed by the liquid crystal 36, a transparent electrode 38 and a layer of glass 40.
Referring now to FIG. 2, there is shown an example of a readout amplifier that can be used for element 28 of FIG. 1. It includes a switching transistor 54, a load resistor 56, an integrating capacitor 58 and an output driver 60. A gate signal 52 transfers the charge from the CCD bucket to the depletion layer of the sense diode 26 and the output 50 of the diode passes through the amplifier and the output 62 goes to the output electrode 24. With this circuit the device has voltage and current amplification capabilities. However, it would require an output amplifier for every CCD cell. The current pulse to the liquid crystal can be approximately rectangular, and the width can be controlled by the control signal. Furthermore, the polarity of the liquid crystal power supply voltage can be switched periodically and this provides a pseudo ac voltage across the liquid crystal, which improves the liquid crystal stability.
Among the many limitations and disadvantages of structures such as the one of FIG. 1 are device complexity and a large capacitive current flow from the clocks to the shield layer. The device complexity is due to the large number of layers and the need to have an output amplifier per every CCD cell, which means that for an NXN array there is a need for N2 amplifiers. The next major disadvantage is due to the large capacitive current between the clock and shield electrodes a clock signal of 10 V at a frequency of 1 MHz results in a current of 0.3 A/cm2. One way to reduce this current is to significantly increase the thickness of the SiO2 layer. This, however, makes it difficult to make contacts to the output and shield electrodes and, at the same time to maintain the smooth surface required for the liquid crystal alignment.
Referring now to FIG. 3, there is shown a CCD-liquid crystal light valve structure constructed in accordance with the present invention. It includes a glass substrate 80 on which there is an insulating layer 82 such as SiO2 inside which are the CCD electrodes 84 followed by a high resistivity semi-insulating semiconductor substrate, such as silicon 88, with a surface for the CCD channel. Between the semiconductor substrate 88 and the insulating layer 82, there is a thin epitaxial layer 86 of the same conductivity type as that of the substrate. Typically, this layer has a thickness in the range between 5-25 μm. On the opposite side of the substrate 88 is a PN junction 90 and a layer 92 of opposite conductivity for the other side of the junction. This is followed by two liquid crystal interface layers such as a light blocking layer 94, and a mirror 96. The interface layers are followed by a liquid crystal 98 and a transparent electrode 100 and a glass counter electrode 102. In this arrangement the CCD structure can be inverted and the readout takes place on the opposite side of the semiconductor substrate 88, by driving the clock signals to zero or slightly opposite to the polarity they had prior to the time for the charge transfer. For example, for an n-channel CCD the clock signals will have to be driven to zero or slightly negative. The minority charge carriers stored in the CCD buckets in the epitaxial layer will be allowed to diffuse toward the substrate which is depleted of the minority mobile charge carriers and there the charges will be electric field guided towards the opposite surface of the substrate and the PN junction 90. However, PN junction 90 is reverse biased and, therefore, it collects the minority carriers and injects them into the interface layers towards the liquid crystal. Thus, this structure has two depletion layers, one formed by the CCD electrodes and the other by the reversed biased PN junctions. These two depletion layers are normally separated by an undepleted layer in the epitaxial layer. Therefore, the entire structure operates as a common base transistor. The junction is like the collector junction, the undepleted region is like the base, and the CCD like the emitter that injects charge into the base.
The spatial resolution of the charges in the overall structure is maintained because:
a. In the undepleted region (which is in the epitaxial layer) the lateral field is negligible and charge moves by diffusion. Therefore, the thickness of the undepleted region should be lower than the required resolution (i.e., 5 to 25 μm).
b. In the depleted region, the potential is determined by the space charge and not by the current flow. Therefore, there is no lateral field in this region either. Moreover, the spreading of the charge in this region is much lower, because of field focusing. This effect is expressed by:
L=d (KT/eV)1/2
where L is the charge spreading and d is the layer thickness. Under normal operating conditions ev>>KT, therefore, good resolution can be maintained with relatively thick layers. We would like to make this depletion layer thick in order to be able to make the silicon wafer thick. This is important for convenient handling. For instance, with a dopant level of 1014 /cm3 and 100 V, a wafer of 5 mils (125 μm) can be used. It is relatively easy to work with a wafer this thick.
The junction can be one of three kinds--(a) discrete diodes (n islands in a p region). The depletion layer will spread between the islands, creating a continuous collecting medium; (b) a continuous PN junction (in which case the depletion region has to spread up to the surface); or a (c) Schottky diode.
Among the advantages of the structure discussed above over those of the prior art (as shown in FIG. 1) are its simplicity and the fact that it does not require shielding the clock electrodes. It also provides a smoother surface for the alignment of the liquid crysal and its associated interface layers. In addition, the surface of the substrate is optically polished to prevent a scattering of light.
The interface layer 94 and 96 can be CERMFT light blocking layer and a CERMET mirror like the ones described in great detail in a copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 784,894 by J. Grinberg, et al, filed on Apr. 5, 1977, entitled "Cermet Interface for Electro-Optical Devices" and assigned to the same assignee as is the present invention. However, other light blocking layers and mirrors may also be used.
In FIG. 4, there is shown an equivalent common base transistor circuit for the transfer mechanism for the CCD charge from one side of a silicon wafer to the other. The undepleted, grounded, epitaxial layer 86 is represented as the base of the transistor, and the thick depleted collection junction 88, 90, 92 corresponds to the collection junction in the equivalent circuit. As soon as the CCD clock electrode bias goes to zero the stored minority carriers diffuse through the undepleted epitaxial layer and are collected by the collecting junction, in much the same manner as in the common base transistor. The two interface layers are represented by two RC circuits. For example, the CEMET light blocking layer 94 can be represented by a resistor 104 in parallel with a capacitor 106. Similarly, the CERMET mirror 96 can be represented by resistor 108 in parallel with capacitor 110 and the liquid crystal 98 by resistor 112 in parallel with capacitor 114. By way of illustration, Table 1 provides some typical values for the resistance and capacitance of the different layers represented in the equivalent circuit of FIG. 4.
TABLE 1______________________________________ Designation Value______________________________________CERMET light blocking layer 104 30KΩ cm2 106 15nP/cm2CERMET mirror 108 6KΩ cm2 110 10nP/cm2Liquid crystal 112 1.5mΩ cm2 114 3NP/cm2______________________________________
Bias voltage 116 may be something in the range of 50 to 100 volts.
The transmission efficiency can reasonably be expected to be very high, in fact, close to unity. The α of a common base transistor can be expressed as:
α=γ1 γ2 γ3,
where γ1 =emitter injection efficiency, the ratio (n/(n+p), where n and p are the number of electrons and holes, respectively, that cross the emitter junction. In our case γ1 =1.γ2 is the recombination factor in the undepleted base region, and it depends on the ratio of the undepleted layer thickness, d, to the minority carrier diffusion length, L=√Dτ. Assuming D=36 cm2 /sec and τ=10-4 sec for electrons, L=600 μm, then γ2 =1-d/L=0.984 for d=10 μm. γ3 is the transmission efficiency in the depleted region and in the usual case it is unity, or slightly above unity, because of field multiplication. Therefore, we expect to have α very close to unity. This means that all charge stored in the CCD capacitances will be transmitted to the liquid crystal layer. The peak voltage gain T=Vp /Vclock (Vp =peak voltage across the LC) will be inversely proportional to the capacitance ratio. ##EQU1## where εox and εLC are the dielectric constants of the oxide layer and the LC, respectively, dox and dLC are the thicknesses of the CCD oxide and the LC layer, and Aox is the relative CCD electrode area that carries the charge that defines the signal.
Using some exemplary values for the thickness of the different layers, the voltage gain becomes:
Thus, if VCL =10 V, the available maximum peak voltage across the liquid crystal is 37.5 V.
For a given charge transfer, the liquid crystal response is larger as the LC resistivity is larger. This can be shown by using the LC in the field effect, electro-optic mode of this device. Thus, the response of the LC is proportional to the strength of the field. The signal charge from the CCD will be dumped into the liquid crystal capacitance and then the liquid crystal capacitance will discharge through the liquid crystal resistance. Therefore, the voltage amplitude is determined by the liquid crystal capacitance and the quantity of transferred charge. If the discharge time is less than or equal to the LC electro-optic response time, the response of the LC will be larger as the integral of the voltage pulse is larger or, in other words, as the LC resistivity is larger. The upper value of this resistivity is limited by the requirement that the LC capacitance will discharge between the frame (25 msec). If the resistivity is chosen so that
ρLC εLC <0.2 Frame Time=5 msec,
then the residual charge (from the previous frame) will be less than 1%. This determines the upper limit for the LC resistivity (the minimum required charge). If the frame time is assumed to be 25 msec and the LC dielectric constant is assumed to be 10, then
ρLC max =5�109 Ω-cm
Assuming that a liquid crystal under steady state conditions has a threshold voltage of 1 V and a full response voltage of 2 V, the turn-on time is about 10 msec, which corresponds to a time constant of approximately 5 msec. Combining the two effects--the liquid crystal capacitance discharge (the liquid crystal voltage decay) and the liquid crystal response (the rotation of the liquid crystal molecules)--results in a requirement of 5.5 V voltage amplitude across liquid crystal for full response. In FIG. 5, there is shown the required voltage across the liquid crystal. In FIG. 6, there is shown the liquid crystal response to the voltage of FIG. 5.
This is considerably less than the maximum available voltage of 37.5 V. Therefore, there is a considerable safety factor in the voltage available to drive the liquid crystal to full response. This shows that the CCD circuit will easily drive the liquid crystal for an electro-optic effect. In fact, the safety factor is large enough that it could be used in a trade-off to improve more marginal performance parameters of the device.
The main purpose of the epitaxial layer (86) of FIG. 3 is to shield the CCD circuitry from the readout structure and to separate the two. However, it is not an indispensable layer for the operation of the structure. The CCD structure may be constructed directly over a surface of the high resistivity substrate in which case when the charge is released from the CCD buckets, by collapsing the CCD clocks they will be electric fields guided towards the other end of the substrate and the liquid crystal.

This Is Our Jam Premieres: Rainbow Arabia, "Lacking Risk"
Back in 2011, L.A.-based synth-pop act Rainbow Arabia turned heads when it announced that it would be joining the roster of minimal techno powerhouse Kompakt. More than two years later, it still seems like an inspired pairing for the band (now a three-piece with new addition of drummer/multi-instrumentalist Dylan Ryan joining husband and wife Danny and Tiffany Preston), and the trio's upcoming FM Sushi LP continues to further play with expectations and expand the group's sound.
New single "Lacking Risk" is a relatively low-key effort, with slinky synths set to spare percussion, and Tiffany's voice cooing abstractly within the mix. Alongside the vaguely Middle Eastern/North African rhythms the band is known for, Rainbow Arabia has set its synths on '80s pop mode, with washes of Hi-Liter brightness that sounds like it was taken from an '80s thriller soundtrack. The resulting mixture is an ethereal pop track, with just the right amount of cheesy gloss.
FM Sushi is out April 15 via Kompakt/Time No Place.

Bruce Springsteen, who hasn't been to Seattle since 2008, announces a March concert at KeyArena, and Billy Joel is coming to Safeco Field in May.
When concert promoter LiveNation sent out a release last week saying it was holding a news conference at Safeco Field to announce a major show, some Seattle music insiders thought: "Great! Bruce Springsteen is finally coming to town after all."
When the Boss announced his 2016 itinerary, he'd initially passed over Seattle.
But the pundits were wrong. Or at least half-wrong. A few hours before LiveNation announced that it wasn't Bruce, but Billy Joel, who would be at Safeco in May, Springsteen's website revealed he would appear at KeyArena in March. (KeyArena confirmed the appearance later in the afternoon.)
Bottom line? Two top boomer acts, both 66 years old, are coming to Seattle this spring.
- Doctors worry over women going for cleanshaven 'Barbie doll look'
- Tesla driver killed in crash while using car's 'Autopilot'
- School district bought $175,000 in gear from Bellevue football coach
- Sex harassment, porn, personal use of state money among litany of complaints against UW prof
- Wildlife officials hunt for bear that killed mountain-biker VIEW
Most Read Stories
Springsteen last played Seattle at KeyArena in 2008. This time around, the New Jersey rocker is on The River Tour, supporting last year's release, "The Ties That Bind: The River Collection" box set, which marked the first release of a brace of songs Springsteen chucked back in 1980 in favor of his double album "The River." The tour will also feature a full, sequential performance of "The River."
Springsteen appears Thursday, March 24, at KeyArena. Times and ticket prices had not been announced as of press time.
Billy Joel, arguably one of the greatest songwriters of his generation — if only for such songs as "New York State of Mind" and "Honesty" — is coming to Safeco Field on Friday, May 20.
Since January 2014, the piano man has played 30 sold-out monthly shows at New York's Madison Square Garden. A show-business anomaly, Joel has not released an album since 1993 but continues to perform regularly. Most artists go on tour to promote a particular recording.
Joel last appeared in Seattle in 2010, when he played a double bill at KeyArena with Elton John.
Billy Joel tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 5, at LiveNation.com. American Express card members can purchase tickets before the general public beginning at 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 1.

8/18/2014 (1 year ago)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
During his visit to Korea, Pope Francis addressed a meeting of young Catholics from many Asian countries and told them that their best hope for reunification of the divided Korean peninsula lay in love and forgiveness.
Pope Francis met a group of over 6,000 Asian Catholics, and discussed many religious concepts, and answered questions about Catholicism and issues it is having in Asia.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "You are brothers who speak the same language," the Pope said on August 15. "When you speak the same language in a family, there is also a human hope."
You can be a light in the darkness with "prayer and action."
This remark was a response to a question by a young Korean woman, who asked how South Korean Catholics should view the communist North?
"Are there two Koreas?" Pope Francis asked in response. "No, there is one, but it is divided, the family is divided."
"My advice is to pray, pray for our brothers in the North," he said, "that there might not be victors and defeated, only one family." Francis then led the audience of roughly 6,000 in silent prayer for reunification.
The Pope appeared at this event in Solmoe following a lunch with Asian Youth Day participants from numerous Asian countries and a visit to the reconstructed birthplace of Saint Andrew Kim, Korea's first, native-born priest, who was martyred in 1846.
On the way to the tent which was set up for the Pope's meeting with young people, Francis was greeted with cheers and outstretched hands. Many in the crowd were holding tablets and cell phones in an attempt to get a picture of the Pope. This is the first time a Pope has visited Asia in more than a decade.
Before entering the tent, Francis allowed an audience member to attach a yellow-ribbon pin to his cassock. The pin has been adopted by family members of those killed in the April sinking of the Sewol ferry, some of whom had previously met with the Pope, and are pressing the South Korean government to investigate the disaster.

Message from the Chair
Network Rail Proposed Level Crossing Closures
As you will be aware the above has been a concern over many months.
The attached Network Rail link are the details just received concerning meeting arranged on the proposals?
Near 60 crossing in the Essex Area are affected.
The closure of these will fundamentally change walking routes we have always used and will have a major effect on our future rambling. To date we have no knowledge of what alternatives are being proposed, and it would seem these will only be made available at the public meetings. It is therefore of the greatest importance that everyone with an interest in rambling attend these meetings to voice their opinions and obtain as much information as possible.
Essex Area Ramblers will be attempting to obtain further information and will be coordinating a county wide response following the meetings. We note the second round of meetings is proposed for August / September.
The Essex Area website contains the email address of the Area Footpath Secretary and other officers and all walkers would be welcome to send their views for incorporation into our response.
This is an issue of major concern for all walkers in Essex. We need to react rapidly and positively in fighting this loss of our Rights of Way.
There are nearly 4000 Ramblers members in the Essex Area. If we all work together we can get what we want.

The moral universe of a samurai drama is as absolute as in one of our classic Westerns, and the balance between the issues and the action is usually as nicely matched. But the great samurai films seem to differ from Westerns by becoming even more extreme: morality plays punctuated by bursts of violence.
"Samurai Rebellion," which was simply titled "Rebellion" when it played the New York Film Festival a few years ago, is as extreme a samurai film as I've seen in both senses (the ethics and the violence), and one of the best. If you're new to the samurai genre, it may be a slight bit much for you; it's spare and stark and intellectual for most of its length and then explodes into a gut-clutching display of Toshiro Mifune's swordsmanship.
The plot, although ultimately the stuff of Greek tragedy, is so complicated that a brief summary would risk parody. It has to do, essentially, with the decision of a proud family to accept a woman in their home as the son's wife, and then their refusal to humiliate themselves by returning the woman to the district lord. There is more to it than that of course, but one of the joys of the style of director Masaki Kobayashi ("Harakiri," "Kwaidan") is his meticulous telling of the tale.
The final orgy of killings (there must be dozens, and as stylized as a shoot-out on Main Street) doesn't even pretend to resolve the moral issue raised by the film. The Mifune character, having staked his life on an ethical issue, finds himself reduced to killing for reasons of simple pride and frustration. This impasse is bleakly developed in the screenplay by Shinbu Hashimoto, who also wrote "Rashomon."
Before the end, however, we've seen three remarkable character changes. Mifune, as the retired head of the family, finally takes a stand after 20 years of unhappy marriage. His son learns to accept and love his own young wife. And the wife, played with delicate understatement by Yoko Tsukasa, casts her lot and life with her new family.
"Samurai Rebellion" is part of the "Films of Japan" series playing Chicago this summer and will be at the World Playhouse through Wednesday, Then it returns July 17-18 at the Three Penny, by which time (hopefully) the pickets in front of that theater will have abandoned their naive conviction that anyone could get rich and rip off the neighborhood by showing good Japanese movies.

Holy 52-week Lows: VMware
VMware Inc. (NYSE:VMW) continues its decline today, shares hit a new 12 month low of $75.79. VMW is trying to stay above $76 a share as we go into the afternoon.
It's ugly for VMware 1shareholders but despite the negativity Mastery expects bottom feeders to begin nipping at the beat up stock. Last month VMW fell off the cliff from near $100 to today's current mid $70 range.
VMware's story is far from over but there are mixed reviews on the company. Barron's thinks shares could fall another 20% from its current price. Google around and you will find articles that say VMware is worth a few bucks at its knocked down share price. There's no doubt the company blew it on their last conference call but its too early to call this company a loser for the remainder of 2013. Mastery has been talking the stock up lately and we like the idea of buying on weakness.
Bottom line: VMW continues to be a falling knife but it's a quality name company that should be added to your watch list.

I have become a BBC Middle East addict.
I check in every few hours to see updated reports of what is happening in
Egypt. I cannot get enough of the freshness of their reporting, their insightful
and personal commentary and their somewhat cynical take on the world's
Joseph Lowery is a survivor of the civil rights movement, a compelling Methodist preacher and a fearless advocate for the underdog.
It always feels a bit odd to me to pray for justice in the world--better to work for
justice and to pray for the courage and wherewithal to keep at it. Of
course, I know that my power to effect change is relatively small, and I
believe that God's is infinite. So I pray for justice, even though mere
words seem too easy even as I'm saying them.
An Enlightened Life
The Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century was fascinating because it pondered the deepest questions of how a social order can be structured to maximize human welfare. This movement explored human nature and the social institutions that would work best with the forces that really govern behavior.
Every significant act of protest has its iconic image: the barricades in Paris in the 1960s, the Berlin Wall in the '80s, the roadside war-protest camps leading to George W. Bush's Texas home in recent years.
Before there was Barack Obama, the first black president, or Hillary Clinton, the first female nominee for president from a major party, there was Shirley Chisholm—the first black person and the first woman to run for president and the first African-American congresswoman. She announced her run for the presidency in 1972 with the slogan "Unbought and unbossed." Although her candidacy was short-lived and she is largely forgotten, younger generations of African-American politicians consider her an icon. Chisholm also started the Congressional Black Caucus. "If they don't give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair," was Chisholm's philosophy. She died in 2005 at the age of 80 (BBC).

New London — Emilie Parker, one of 20 first-graders killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School, liked to give presents to other people on her birthday and at Christmas. She would have been delighted to give a playground to the children of New London.
"She had a lot of love," Emilie's mother, Alissa Parker, said Thursday as she stood among a swarm of volunteers constructing a playground in memory of the 6-year-old in the middle of Riverside Park.
"My daughter would have wanted to give back," Parker said. "She thought so much about other people. She'd get the biggest kick out of this."
Parker, her husband, Robbie, and their two younger daughters, Madeline, 5, and Samantha, 4, were on hand Thursday when construction began on "Emilie's Shady Spot," a 2,600-square-foot pink and blue playground in the wooded, waterfront park.
The New Jersey Firefighters Mutual Benevolent Association's Sandy Ground Project: Where Angels Play is installing 26 playgrounds in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey to honor the 20 children and six adults who were killed last year in the shootings at their school in Newtown. The FMBA started building playgrounds in Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina and then re-organized after the Sandy Hook shooting to build more.
Wearing small tool belts, the little blonde Parker sisters told the men to "Get to work!" after being prompted by Bill Lavin, former president of the New Jersey firefighters union, who organized the playground project. They helped hammer nails, and the entire family left hand prints in the cement around a newly erected flag pole with the words "For you with love Emilie."
"This is so beautiful," their mother said. "I couldn't be happier."
"Emilie loved stories, and telling them," said her uncle, Brady Cottle, who flew in from Eugene, Ore., to support his sister Alissa and to help build the playground. He said he was in awe of the volunteers who came together for Emilie, and of the 18-acre park that offers panoramic views of the Thames River.
The woods and the river would have been good fodder for her tales, he said.
"Emilie was a very imaginative little girl. This would have been a perfect spot for her," he said. "It's amazing. There's a lot of love here."
The specialness of Riverside Park, which the city nearly sold to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy two years ago, also was felt by some of the volunteers.
Tim McCabe, the national sales manager of Superior Recreation Products in Carrollton, Ga., which custom-made the playgrounds for all 26 projects, was at the park early Thursday when the sun was just rising over the water.
"The deer were running by," he said. "It was magical."
Dozens of volunteers began assembling the equipment early Thursday morning, including Kevin Doyle of Boston from the National Association of Government Employees, who brought 20 volunteers with him. Although his union has been raising money for the project since the beginning, this was the first worksite he'd visited.
"This is the most beautiful space," he said, looking around the park. "I'd like to build a house here."
Others traveled even farther to participate, including Kim Michelsen of Clinton, Iowa. Michelsen said she was glued to the television in December when the Newtown shootings occurred. Robbie Parker was the first parent she saw speak after the tragedy.
"When they showed the picture of his daughter, she looked just like my youngest granddaughter," said Michelsen, who flew to Connecticut Wednesday with her friend, Becky Weaver, for moral support. She became active in making schools safer in her hometown and followed the Parkers' story, including Alissa Parker's blog, "The Parker Five." When she heard about the playground, she decided she would go wherever it was being built and help.
She's staying for the dedication at 11 a.m. Sunday.
"I wouldn't have missed this for the world," she said, as she sorted through various pieces of equipment laid out on blue tarps. "I was afraid I was going to cry, but we're trying to make this a happy day. It's beautiful here."
During the flurry of construction, a group of students from nearby Winthrop School walked to the site to see where they soon would be able to play. The park has not had a playground since its antiquated and rusty equipment was removed several years ago. Alissa Parker was excited to see the children. Emilie would have been pleased her playground would be well-used, she said.
"We've had so many sad days," she said. "It's good to take a break and embrace the happy side today."
Emilie's Shady Spot is the 14th playground the firefighters have installed since December. Each was handpicked for one of the 20 children and six adults killed, and each incorporates something special about each victim. The playgrounds are donated, but each host community raises money to pass on to the next project. The program, when completed, will have cost an estimated $1.2 million.
The New Jersey group came to New London last spring at the urging of retired New London firefighter Victor Spinnato, who knows Lavin through volunteer work at the Arthur C. Luf Children's Burn Camp in Union.

David Hobbs helped make these videos
We are still working to obtain content for your car, however the video above is believed to have similar characteristics as your car.
If your convenience lights, turn signals, seat warmers, stereo, headlights or other electronic components suddenly stop working, chances are you have a fuse that has blown out. The video above shows how to check and change blown fuses in the engine bay of your 1996 Toyota Corolla in addition to where the fuse box diagram is located. Fuses should always be the first thing you check if your Corolla is experiencing electrical difficulties because they are relatively easy and inexpensive to change yourself. The more electronics your Corolla has, the more fuses it has. Some Toyotas have multiple fuse boxes in the engine bay, so be sure to find the fuse(s) in question. Some components may have multiple fuses, so make sure you check all of the fuses that are linked to the component that is no longer working properly.
If you need to replace a blown fuse in your Corolla, make sure you replace it with one that has the same amperage as the blown fuse. If checking and replacing the fuse for the component in question doesn't work, we recommend seeking assistance from a trusted professional mechanic. They should be able to figure out if the component needs to be replaced or if there is a short or some other problem with your Corolla.
