"I'd always played lighter than my opponents, even back in high school I wasn't the heaviest guy on the court, but it really made a difference in college. Strength is a key part of the game, refs let you play more physical," said Paige.Paige found that out while playing against bigger, stronger competition in the ACC, such as guards like Miami's Shane Larkin and NC State's Lorenzo Brown."Dealing with guys like that was a lot harder as a small guy," Paige said. "I'm not focused on playing at a certain weight or anything. I just want to be stronger, have a stronger base, so I can get through screens and not get fatigued so easily."
University of Louisville president's resignation accepted
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) University of Louisville trustees on Wednesday accepted the resignation of embattled President James Ramsey, whose long tenure was dogged by scandal.
The action at a special meeting of the school's board signaled the end of an era. Ramsey, a former state budget director, has led the university for 14 years.
After six hours of closed-door deliberations, the board announced late Wednesday that Ramsey will be paid $690,000 and will resign immediately, with an agreement not to sue the school.
Ramsey was credited with raising academic standards and boosting the school from a commuter campus to a distinguished research institution. But he came under increasing fire for embezzlement scandals and a string of other embarrassments, including an FBI investigation of top university officials for alleged misuse of federal money and an NCAA investigation into whether a university employee paid women to strip and have sex with basketball players.
The controversies boiled over in the past two years. The Courier-Journal reported last year that the Board of Trustees challenged Ramsey's salary of more than $600,000, with millions more in deferred compensation paid by the university foundation.
Then, in October, an escort named Katina Powell released the book "Breaking Cardinal Rules" that alleged a basketball team employee hired her and other dancers to entertain players and recruits at sex parties. The NCAA launched an investigation and Ramsey announced in February that the team would not play in post-season tournaments.
Dozens of professors signed a letter to him complaining about the "drumbeat of crises" and some trustees attempted a no-confidence vote to have him ousted in the spring. Ramsey said at the time that he would not resign.
But Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin dismantled the former Board of Trustees last month. Ramsey wrote the governor a letter offering to tender his resignation to the newly appointed board, launching a bumpy series of meetings that led to his eventual ouster late Wednesday.
The afternoon began with an agreement seemingly far more generous for Ramsey: He would collect his salary for a year as he served as interim president while the school searched for a new leader. Ramsey sat silently at Wednesday's board meeting, wearing a polo shirt, then left for his office upstairs.
But the board's closed-door negotiations stretched hours into the night. Chairman Pro Tem Ulysses "Junior" Bridgeman left several times to visit Ramsey's office, where the president was working with various advisers, he said.
The board announced just before 11 p.m. that Ramsey would be out immediately. University Provost Neville Pinto, who is on vacation, will serve as temporary leader until a new president is selected.
"In the end, it was just the decision on both sides, what everyone thought was best," Bridgeman said of the final resolution. He said it was a sad moment in the university's history despite the controversies that have colored Ramsey's tenure. He pointed to the president's accomplishments, improving graduation rates and the university's footprint in the city.
"Dr. Ramsey is always going to be a gentleman," he said about Ramsey's reaction to the final decision. "He's always going to talk about what's best for the university. And that was the discussion. It wasn't any more than that."
The board's actions will have no bearing on Ramsey's status with the University Foundation, a separate board where Ramsey is paid more than $300,000 in addition to his salary as president. Bridgeman would not speculate on what that board will choose to do about his employment.
The trustees also voted to immediately begin its search for a new president.
The decision ends weeks of unrest and confusion about Ramsey's status.
Shortly after Bevin dismantled the old board and appointed new members, Ramsey read his letter offering to resign as the board met in a private session at its first meeting earlier this month. Ramsey then left the meeting, walked directly to his office and didn't return.
His method apparently left trustees confused. Bridgeman told reporters that Ramsey had not offered his resignation. A day later, Bridgeman said Ramsey's letter had amounted to an offer to step down. Trustees met for a second time last week, reviewing budget and tuition issues but taking no action on Ramsey's status.
They scheduled a meeting to discuss his resignation for Tuesday morning, abruptly canceled it then rescheduled it for Wednesday afternoon.
Now, even with Ramsey's immediate departure, the school's leadership remains uncertain.
Democratic state Attorney General Andy Beshear is challenging Bevin's authority to disband the school's former board and appoint a new one, saying the reorganization was illegal.
During a hearing last week, Franklin Circuit Judge Phillip Shepherd said Bevin's action replacing UofL's board was "problematic" because it put the school's independence in jeopardy. His ruling is pending. If Shepherd rules against Bevin and finds the current board invalid, it's unclear whether the board's decisions will stand, including Wednesday's negotiations over Ramsey's departure.

So this is how you become the winningest coach of all time?
Five-star guard Troy Brown Jr. cuts list to eight
Fresh off of a solid performance at the Nike Skills Academy in Los Angeles, Troy Brown Jr. announced on Thursday that he had cut his list to eight schools.
Kansas, Oregon, Arizona, Ohio State, Cal, Georgetown, UNLV and Alabama are the eight schools on the list.
Brown is a top ten prospect in the Class of 2017, according to Rivals, but the general opinion of him as a player has depressed a bit since earlier in his high school career. The Las Vegas native was once considered a top five player in the class, and while he's still thought of as an impact player, he's probably closer to being a two or three year college player than a surefire one-and-done player.
Monte' Morris, Jalen Brunson among the top performers at Nike Skills Academy
LOS ANGELES — I spent the last three days in California watching some of the best college players in the country work out and scrimmage at the Nike Skills Academy. Here are five players that stood out:
Monte' Morris, Iowa State: The way that the games at the Nike Skills Academy were set up was pretty standard pickup basketball rules. Games were seven minutes long, winners stay on. On Monday night and Wednesday night during the scrimmages, the team that Morris was on went on a long winning streak, and on both nights, he was the best player on the floor for that team. College basketball fans know what Morris can do by now, as do NBA scouts. But he nonetheless impressed this week, and it wasn't just his change-of-speed or playmaking ability. On the final night of the camp, everyone in the gym was gassed. Six of the 20 or so college kids at the camp were sitting out with "injuries" sustained during grueling three-a-day workouts. Morris? He played through the cramps and the dead legs. During the final session, when he was asked by camp director Miles Simon if he was tired, Morris simply answered "I'm not telling you that" and went out and won upwards of 10 games in a row.
Chris Boucher, Oregon: Boucher played with a ton of confidence all week long, doing all of the things that we've come to expect out of Canada's surprising star forward. His length is ridiculous and he spent much of the week swatting shots at the rim, a terrific skill to have when he's hitting threes the way that he did in the Hawthorne hangar. Boucher is going to be a very, very valuable piece for the Ducks, but his impact is going to be somewhat limited because he's still just as skinny as ever.
Jalen Brunson, Villanova: Brunson is a basketball savant, the kind of player that sees the game a step ahead of everyone else. He had a rough start on Monday night, but throughout the week was consistently creating open looks for teammates that, in many cases, he had never played with before. On the final night of the camp, Brunson had a fun little battle with Jordan McRae, a former Tennessee Vol that has bounced around the NBA the last two years. After McRae bodied Brunson in the post, Brunson answered with a nifty, driving layup before forcing a McRae turnover and shaking him at the other end to hit a game-winning, step-back jumper. I'm not sure if Brunson has the athleticism to end up being an NBA player, but I wasn't sure that T.J. McConnell or Fred VanVleet had enough athleticism, either.
Jonathan Motley, Baylor: Boucher was the most impressive front court prospect in the camp, but Motley was probably the best front court player in Los Angeles this week. Motley has always been somewhat underrated because of the way he is used at Baylor, but he should be in line for a huge year for the Bears. He showed off a better-than-I-realized low-post repertoire and even knocked down a couple of perimeter shots.
Josh Hart, Villanova: Hart spent much of the week as Morris' teammate, doing just as much as the Iowa State point guard to ensure that his team was always winning. So while I'm about to hit him with a couple of criticisms, understand that it comes with the caveat that he was awesome this week. Hart's jumper went in at a really good clip, but his stroke is still weird enough — and his bad misses are still bad enough — that concerns about his ability to consistently make NBA threes are more than valid. The other issue? He has a penchant for make some headache-inducing plays that make you wonder just what in the world he saw that made him think that was a good idea.
- On the first night of the camp, the gym was flooded with NBA guys coming through to get in a workout and some high-level pick-up. At one points, Julius Randle, Aaron Gordon, Stanley Johnson, Jordan Clarkson and Devin Booker were all on the same team. They lost to a a squad led by Morris, Hart and Alec Peters.
- Speaking of Peters, the Valparaiso star played very well all week. I'm convinced that, had he opted to be a grad transfer and leave Valpo, he would have been an impact player at just about any program in the country. If it all comes together for him next season, he'll have a chance to put up ridiculous numbers.
- Jaron Blossomgame of Clemson was impressive all week and threw down the best dunk that I saw during the camp. He could've turned pro this offseason and ended up getting picked in the second round while earning some guaranteed money. But he opted to return, in part to prove that he's more than just a capable shooter. He did not do that the last three days.
- Michigan State's Miles Bridges is stupid athletic. He's ridiculous. I'm not sure he's a human. There are going to be a couple of Big Ten opponents that get utterly embarrassed by him this year. But … beyond the dunks, I'm just not sure how he is going to be able to score at that level.
- Illinois forward Malcolm Hill might be the most underrated player in the country. The 6-foot-8 forward is what we call a bucket-getter. He'll probably lead the Big Ten in scoring this season.
- Edmond Sumner of Xavier has continued to fill out his body. He told me he was up to 185 pounds earlier this summer and that he'll hopefully be over 190 by the time the season starts. When he committed Xavier he was on the wrong side of 150 pounds. Oregon's Tyler Dorsey also looks like he's spent some time in the weight room. One scout said it looks like he's put on a good 20 pounds since he's been in Eugene.
THE BAMBA: Mohamed Bamba's mind is as bright as his hoops future
LOS ANGELES — Fresh off of the gold medal he won in the U18 FIBA Americas tournament in Chile, Mohamed Bamba returned to the states and headed almost directly to Los Angeles to attend the Nike Skills Academy.
Attend. Not participate, at least not during the first day and a half of the camp.
He wasn't alone in this decision. His USA Basketball teammates Michael Porter Jr., Trae Young and Hamidou Diallo also sat out parts or all of the first day. They had gone from Peach Jam in Augusta to the national team training camp in Houston to Chile, where they played five games in five days. A day off on the first Monday after the end of the July Live Period is almost necessary with the schedule that some of the nation's elite high school prospects play.
But Bamba's decision wasn't strictly based on trying to catch up on rest.
He had left his soles in Valdivia.
"I have flat feet," Bamba told NBCSports.com on Tuesday as he launched into the saga of his shoes, and because of those flat feet — and an ankle injury he suffered in the spring — the 7-foot Bamba has to wear specially made inserts in the sole of his shoes when he plays. When you're that tall and your feet are that big, you're not exactly buying those inserts off the rack.
During the tournament in Chile, Bamba became something of a sensation because his last name happens to be the name of a Mexican folk song, 'La Bamba,' made internationally famous by Richie Valens. The fans would go crazy every time he made a play. They made signs for him. They tabbed him as a third-party candidate for the people that don't want to see Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump in the White House.
Bamba loved it, so much so that, when the tournament ended, he gave his shoes — soles and all — to a young Chilean boy who had become his biggest fan.
It wasn't until he got back to the hotel that he realized his mistake. He was able to track the kid down on social media and got one of the soles back that night, but the other shoe had been taken by someone else. By the time they found that person, it was too late. Bamba was going to have to wait to get his soles shipped back to him in the States. He won't get them until he's home in New York, which means that his time on the courts in a modified airplane hangar at the Hawthorne Airport was dictated by how effectively the training staff could replicate his soles with athletic tape.
All because he got excited and gave his shoes to a fan.
It was a pretty dumb thing to do for a kid who is decidedly not dumb.
Mohamed Bamba is among the elite of the elite in the Class of 2017. He's a consensus top four prospect in the class, a kid that has a very real chance to be the No. 1 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. He's no where near a finished product yet, but his ability to change the game on the defensive end of the floor is special.
"He's a dinosaur, man," is how one coach of a top-25 program described Bamba, and it's a pretty apt comparison. He's 7-foot in shoes and soles with a wingspan that has been measured at 7-foot-9.5 and a standing reach of 9-foot-6. Those numbers are unheard of, and given his knack for blocking and changing shots at the rim, it's not hard to look at him and see a guy that can one day influence a game the same way Rudy Gobert or Hassan Whiteside can defensively.
The offensive end of the floor is where Bamba is still very much a work in progress. His post game is somewhere between ineffective and developing, but that will come as the 210-pound Bamba adds some weight and strength. He's not a guy that you want shooting a lot of jumpers, but his stroke and soft touch are impressive enough that it's fairly easy to project him as a guy that will consistently make perimeter shots one day. He's not as fluid or as mobile as some of the more offensive-minded bigs you'll come across, but he's not uncoordinated, either.
He's never going to be Karl Towns or Anthony Davis, but if his ceiling is Rudy Gobert with a jump shot, that's something that will make him very attractive to a lot of NBA teams.
Bamba knows this.
He also knows, like the rest of the basketball-watching world, that the salaries NBA players are getting these days are massive. It's very much within the realm of possibility that Bamba could earn nine figures in NBA paychecks by the time it's all said and done. Bamba's smart — there's a reason that Duke and Harvard (yes, Harvard) are two of the schools that are highest on the list of schools chasing him — smart enough to know what he doesn't know, including the ins and outs of the NBA salary cap and salary structures. Why is every max contract worth a different amount of money? Why was it a popular refrain to say that Kevin Durant left money on the table when he signed with the Golden State Warriors?
And that's why Bamba ponied up the money to head to Boston and attend the MIT Sloan Analytics Conference, a weekend-long festival of sports nerds that are interested in things beyond how many points someone scored in a game. Bamba attended a presentation breaking down the best way to defend pick-and-rolls, sat in on a session analyzing how an NBA front office works and, fittingly enough, learned about predictive injury analytics and injury prevention.
"I had never thought about efficiency before," Bamba said. "In high school it's about how many points you score, not how many shots it takes or possessions it takes."
'Student-athlete' is something of a tongue-in-cheek term in this day and age given the inherent unfairness of amateurism in the NCAA, but Bamba is as much a student as he is an athlete. He's got an inquisitive nature, a desire to learn. His trip to MIT started as a joke about him being a dork, but once he found out what it was he became intrigued. So he went. He's been studying up on speeches that he attended in the months since he left Boston, learning more and more about NBA contracts and how players can manage their money. "If you're going to be an multi-million dollar investment, you should know why and how it works," he said.
He's in business and marketing classes at the Westtown School now, and he says that regardless of how long it takes him to declare for the NBA Draft, he will be getting his degree. But when asked by a reporter if he's preparing himself, on the chance that he goes one-and-done, to test out of intro classes and take more advanced courses as a freshman, Bamba admitted it was the rare topic he had no knowledge of.
"I've never thought about that," he said.
"But I'm going to look into it now."

South African expat Norman Coates, a well-known theatrical designer in London, has published his first novel – a shameless and funny story of a theatrical production set for the Grahamstown Festival.
Article from 'The South African' by Marianne Gray:
So many South Africans leave home to live abroad and niggling in the back of their minds is the dream of writing The Great South African Novel.
Some have done it, like best-selling author Justin Cartwright, but mainly we just put it off as something we'll do when we're older. And never do.
But Capetonian Norman Coates did, as he built a life in London as a well-known theatrical designer, and at 64 his first novel, Beard, a shameless and funny story of a theatrical production set for the Grahamstown Festival, is published this month.
"I must say I feel like an eight-year-old at the prospect of having a novel published," said Coates.
"Books were big in our home. As a kid I started a library in my bedroom and my brother, sisters and I ran a small in-house magazine full of stories and drawings. I've always written. It's just taken awhile to get between covers. Mind you, bestseller Mary Wesley had her first book published at 71 so I'm well ahead!"
He was born in Wynberg and went to Wynberg Boys Junior and Senior. After graduating from Michaelis School of Fine Art at UCT he worked his passage to England on the Union Castle Line's SA Vaal as part of Cape Town pop/folk group Canticle. A recording contract awaited and they set off on a life of touring, from men's working clubs in the grey north to cruising in the Caribbean on the QE2.
Canticle was brought back to South Africa as the "group that made it overseas" and after touring the country, Norman, with Anthony Osler and Suzanne Goldberg, started a fringe theatre in Rondebosch called the Theatre Downstairs.
"The world was ours," reflected Coates. "We'd had had a hit record, we'd toured everywhere, we'd had fun."
But London called again and he took the post of resident designer at the famous Almost Free Theatre in the West End, designing new plays by (Sir) Tom Stoppard, John Arden, Wolf Mankowitz among other rising playwrights.
Since then he has designed plays far and wide, here and abroad. His last was Hound of the Baskervilles, the next is As You Like It.
"The the writing has to fit in between the plays. I have so many ideas for future books, I could open a shop selling ideas!"
Beard is set in Cape Town, Grahamstown and the Karoo, near Colesberg. It's what Coates described as a book about people, as they battle with a theatre production that goes madly wrong. "It's truthful, poignant and, hopefully, laugh out loud!"

Growth of amorphous hydrogenated carbon nitride films in radio-frequency plasma85(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.369055View Description Hide Description
Amorphous hydrogenated carbon nitride films are deposited both on the cathode and anode in atmosphere by radiofrequency plasma chemical vapor deposition. The species of the plasma are detected by optical emission spectroscopy and ionization-threshold mass spectroscopy. The effects of varying the partial pressure on plasma states and film properties have been investigated. The results of plasmadiagnosis indicate that reactive nitrogen radicals are more easily generated than methane-derived radicals and they increase as the partial pressure in plasma. The filmsgrown on the cathode and anode definitely show different properties. It seems that CN and CNH species in plasma do not contribute to film growth directly. The efficient bombardment of nitrogen ions on growing surface leads to the formation of the film which has lower hydrogen content and more CN bond constructions.
Growth stage of crystalline film on Si(100) grown by an ionized cluster beam deposition85(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.369056View Description Hide Description
We investigated the initial and epitaxialgrowth stage of grown by reactive ionized clusterbeamdeposition, using x-ray diffraction(XRD), atomic force microscope, and reflection high-energy electron diffraction. We also investigated the crystalline structure of the films using transmission electron microscopy and XRD. The preferred growth direction of grown by an ion beam changed completely from the 〈111〉 to the 〈110〉 orientation in order to minimize the overall energy of the film as the substrate temperature increased. In addition to the kinetic energy of the deposited atoms, oxygen partial pressure and the substrate surface state also bear a relationship to the change in the preferred growth direction. The crystalline growth of film depends on the state of the surface at the initial growth stage, whether the Si surface was first exposed to oxygen or yttrium. In particular, the silicon oxide layer which formed on the Si surface during the initial growth stage played an important role in the epitaxialgrowth as well as the preferred growth direction of film.
Pulsed-laser deposition of diamond-like carbon: Relations between laser fluence, velocity of carbon ions, and bonding in the films85(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.369057View Description Hide Description
In the pulsed-laserdeposition process, high intensity laser pulses expel material from a solid target and form expanding plasma near the solid surface. The expansion of the plasma produces a forward-directed beam of ionized and neutral species with typical energies of 1–100 eV. In this study, amorphous diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films were deposited onto silicon substrates at room temperature using an XeCl excimer laser (wavelength 308 nm, pulse length 20 ns) with laser fluences in the range on a pyrolytic graphite target. The effect of laser fluence on the velocity and kinetic energy distribution of carbon ions was measured by time-of-flight(TOF) spectrometry using a system based on a Faraday cup with biased grids, and a multichannel plate based particle detector. We have found high kinetic energies, up to 500 eV, for expelled atomic species. In order to study the effect of the energy of the arriving ions on the structure of DLC, the bonding of carbon atoms in films,deposited under similar conditions as in the TOF measurements, was studied by x-rayabsorption near-edge structure.
Mechanism of low temperature nitridation of silicon oxide layers by nitrogen plasma generated by low energy electron impact85(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.369633View Description Hide Description
Thermal silicon oxide layers formed on the Si substrate can be nitrided at low temperatures ranging between 25 and by nitrogen plasma generated by low energy electron impact. The nitrogen concentration is high near the oxide surface, and the nitrogen atomic concentration ratio at the surface ranges between ∼10% and ∼25%, depending on the nitridation conditions. For nitridation above , only (i.e., a nitrogen atom bound to three Si atoms) is observed in the nitrided oxide films by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements, while both (i.e., an ion bound to two Si atoms) and are present with nitridation below . When a negative bias voltage is applied to the Si with respect to the grid used for the generation of nitrogen plasma, the nitrogen concentration in the film increases, indicating that nitrogen cations play a dominant role in the nitridation. It is concluded that, first, ions react with to form after which inward movement of ions occurs with the assistance of an electrical field induced in the nitrided oxide layers by nitrogen ions at the surface. Ultimately, is transformed to
Diameter of As clusters in LT-GaAs by Raman spectroscopy85(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.369058View Description Hide Description
Raman scatteringmeasurements on low temperature GaAs layers are presented. Phonons in both GaAs and As are studied. The transition from diluted As in the GaAs matrix to the small As clusters formed after annealing is analyzed. This is performed by observing the reduction of the GaAs bound charge, i.e., the longitudinal optical GaAs frequency downshift, to the appearance of the crystalline As vibrational mode. From the phonon shifts of crystalline As, the diameter and the strain are derived, accordingly to transmission electron microscopymeasurements.
Transmission electron microscopy of silicides nucleated in Y–Si reaction system85(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.369059View Description Hide Description
The nucleation of silicides was examined by transmission electron microscopy in a Y–Si reaction system, in which the Y layer was deposited on the Si substrate at It was revealed that the amorphization due to alloying took place and the concentration gradient was formed over the alloying layer during deposition. A hexagonal phase and a cubic metastable phase were observed at the layer adjoining the Si substrate and at the midmost region of the alloying layer, respectively. This result was interpreted in the light of the proposed phenomenological theory that the silicide phases were nucleated from the amorphous alloys with suitable compositions within the formed concentration gradient.
Analysis of the role of mobility-lifetime products in the performance of amorphous silicon solar cells85(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.369634View Description Hide Description
An analytical model of an amorphous silicon solar cell is presented to describe its photovoltaic behavior under short-circuit conditions. It has been developed from the analysis of numerical simulation results. These results reproduce the experimental illumination dependence of short-circuit resistance, which is the reciprocal slope of the curve at the short-circuit point. The recombination rate profiles show that recombination in the regions of charged defects near the and interfaces should not be overlooked. Based on the interpretation of the numerical solutions, we deduce analytical expressions for the recombination current and short-circuit resistance. These expressions are given as a function of an effective product, which depends on the intensity of illumination. We also study the effect of surface recombination with simple expressions that describe its influence on current loss and short-circuit resistance.
Evolution of a two-dimensional quantum cellular neural network driven by an external field85(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.369060View Description Hide Description
A model of a two-dimensional quantum cellular neural network (QCNN) is presented in this article. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the Hamiltonian of a cell (neuron) are obtained, and we confirm that the ground or memory states are approximately two polarization states of 16 possible states in a cell (neuron) only when electron tunneling is relatively weak compared with the Coulomb repulsion. The evolution of the QCNN driven by a local external magnetic field is studied by solving the Liouville equation of the corresponding two-dimensional Ising model. The formula for the evolution of the density operator is given by using a subdynamics approach. We show that the local external magnetic field can drive the system to a global polarization state and induce a dynamical response in the original QCNN. This dynamical response can be interpreted as a computable function and measured by the system output.
Modeling and manufacturability assessment of bistable quantum-dot cells85(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.369061View Description Hide Description
We have investigated the behavior of bistable cells made up of four quantum dots and occupied by two electrons, in the presence of realistic confinement potentials produced by depletion gates on top of a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. Such a cell represents the basic building block for logic architectures based on the concept of quantum cellular automata (QCA) and of ground state computation, which have been proposed as an alternative to traditional transistor-based logic circuits. We have focused on the robustness of the operation of such cells with respect to asymmetries derived from fabrication tolerances. We have developed a two-dimensional model for the calculation of the electron density in a driven cell in response to the polarization state of a driver cell. Our method is based on the one-shot configuration-interaction technique, adapted from molecular chemistry. From the results of our simulations, we conclude that an implementation of QCA logic based on simple "hole arrays" is not feasible, because of the extreme sensitivity to fabrication tolerances. As an alternative, we propose cells defined by multiple gates, where geometrical asymmetries can be compensated for by adjusting the bias voltages. Even though not immediately applicable to the implementation of logic gates and not suitable for large scale integration, the proposed cell layout should allow an experimental demonstration of a chain of QCA cells.
Intersubband infrared detector with optimized valence band quantum wells for 3–5 μm wavelength region85(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.369062View Description Hide Description
We present results on a -type intersubband infrared detector for the 3–5 μm wavelength region with optimal quantum well design. For valence bandquantum wells made by the AlGaAs/GaAs heterosystem with negligible strain, the ground state subband is the first heavy hole subband, and a structure with the second light hole subband in resonance with the top of the barrier is optimal for normal incidence. Using this resonance design, the fabricated detector shows good performance with a background limited operating temperature of 100 K. Our experiments also show a clear polarization dependence for different intersubband transitions involving heavy hole to heavy hole and heavy hole to light hole processes.
Quasiadiabatic switching for metal-island quantum-dot cellular automata85(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.369063View Description Hide Description
Recent experiments have demonstrated a working cell suitable for implementing the quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) paradigm. These experiments have been performed using metal-island clusters. The most promising approach to QCA operation involves quasiadiabatically switching the cells. This has been analyzed extensively in gated semiconductorcells. Here we present a metal-island cell structure that makes quasiadiabatic switching possible. We show how this permits quasiadiabatic clocking, and enables a pipelined architecture.

"With a consuming drive to build things that often escalate in complexity as they take shape, Greg's work is compulsive. Working with hammer-formed steel and re-purposed objects, his themes tend to be mythological in nature, revealed through a dystopian view of pop culture." - Official website
Marie writes: I love photography, especially B/W and for often finding color a distraction. Take away the color and suddenly, there's so much more to see; the subtext able to rise now and sit closer to the surface - or so it seems to me. The following photograph is included in a gallery of nine images (color and B/W) under Photography: Celebrity Portraits at the Guardian."This is one of the last photographs of Orson before he died. He loved my camera - a gigantic Deardorff - and decided he had to direct me and tell me where to put the light. So even in his last days, he was performing his directorial role perfectly, and bossing me around. Which was precious." - Michael O'Neill

CANNES, France--The so-far disappointing 2003 Cannes Film Festival stirred from its torpor over the weekend with sex, violence and dogma. This being Cannes, dogma got the most attention, as Lars Von Trier, a founder of the minimalist Dogma movement, unveiled his three-hour "Dogville." This is one of the most confounding and exasperating films of the festival, and maybe it is brilliant, but I will not be able to determine that until I have recovered from the ordeal of sitting through it.

Games Will Only Play At 480p
Posted 13 March 2012 - 12:32 AM
I understand that you have change the video settings in the MS dash. I have enabled 1080i in the MS dash and even after restarting the dash still shows the changes I made. The selectable video options in UnleashX also change according to the MS dash settings. In fact, after enabling 1080i in the MS dash, my tv shows it is receiving a 1080i input when I am at the UnleashX dash. However, as soon as I start up a game from my hard drive, then the video goes back to 480p.
After researching, it looks like this is a problem with not having the MS dash on my shadow c. Through the file manager I see an empty shadow c. If I launch the Ndure toolset I can see the real c has xboxdash.xbe and xb0xdash.xbe. I can access the dash by launching xb0xdash.exe or by starting the xbox by pressing the eject button. I cannot access the MS dash by selecting MS dashboard from Unleashx, it gives me the "Unable to launch "C:\xboxdash.xbe". File does not exist.".
Am I correct in assuming that my whole problem is because I don't have the MS dash on my shadow c so once the game launches it is not able to detect my video settings? Is the solution just to copy a 5960 MS dash to my shadow c? Can I simply copy xb0xdash.xbe to my shadow c and rename it xboxdash.xbe or do I have to find a clean 5960 dash online and put that in my shadow c?
Anyway, am I on the right track here? Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Posted 13 March 2012 - 01:15 AM
Not to worry, just copy the complete 5960 dash (not just xboxdash.xbe, the whole thing) to the empty shadow C and you should be OK.
Now for the bad news - it will make no difference. Most games only play in 480p. It has nothing to do with the game not being able to read the video settings - the video settings are held in the eeprom, nothing to do with the MS Dash.

I'm guessing the shadow c has write access restrictions in place? Is there a way I can enable write access through the ndure toolset?
Posted 15 March 2012 - 03:49 AM
Alternatively you can use HeXEn (burned to DVD-R at 4x or slower) to do it for you - Option 22.214.171.124.
Posted 15 March 2012 - 04:27 AM
Tthank you guys so much for your help! I can't express how thankful I am!
I think I'm having a surround issue now though. I have enabled DD and DTS but UnleashX has the 5.1 surround option set to NO and I cannot change it. However, when I start a game my receiver is showing it is receiving a DD signal and after doing some grenade chucks and doing a 180, my speakers do sound like they are outputting sound in a 5.1 fashion but perhaps that isn't the best way to check. Also, I just tried putting in Burnout Revenge which according to hdgames.net supports DTS and my receiver is not showing it is receiving a DTS signal. What could be up?

I also tried dropping a blank text named eeprom_off.bin in E:\NPK11 and launching the MS dash from UnleashX. Again, the audio options were all enabled already. Disabled and re-enabled. Nothing changed.
So UnleashX is still stuck on 5.1 NO.
Posted 15 March 2012 - 11:29 AM
UnleashX is simply showing you what it thinks the audio mode is. It isn't involved at all when the game is running - like the video settings, every dash and game reads the settings from the eeprom. IIRC some games give you the option to change the audio settings, so that may be worth investigating.

I am more familiar with PHP than with JQuery and kind of stuck on arrays. I have read just about all the posts on the forum on this subject but can't get it to work.
I have what I believe to be an array. Something that would look like this in php
myArr = ['option-4' => '3','option-1' => '8', 'option-3' => '0' ];
In JQuery I can retrieve the values by use of the command
var x = myArr['option-1'];
This all works fine but what I need to do is make a string of the values. So I need to loop through the elements and add the value of the element to the string. The problem is the loop.
When I check the length of the array
alert("Elements in array "+myArr.length);
it always returns zero.
When I try something like
$.each(myArr , function(i, val) {
Nothing shows.
I am missing something obviously, my PHP knowledge must be blocking things. Can anyone please help?

So this is a 404 page for a microsite that offers racing events. And the site contents exactly one page. I have no idea how anybody can end up on this page, but the client wanted it.

Skip to comments.Attack on Iran's nuclear facilities 'worries' US admiral
Posted on 02/14/2010 2:22:30 PM PST by Flavius
The chairman of the US military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, said on Sunday he was concerned about the consequences of any attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.
"The outbreak of a conflict will be a big, big, big problem for all of us, and I worry a great deal about the unintended consequences of a strike," Admiral Mullen said.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
And the Israelis worry about the consequences of no strike.
Well then maybe Mr Stupid should stop focusing his attention on Don't Ask Don't Tell and women on submarines and concentrate on the real issues facing our military!
I thought maybe it was Admiral Ed Sullivan, worrying about a 'big, big, big' problem, you know, a 'reaaaalllly big shoe'!
Blame Bush for all the swine flu deaths. /s
That would not be the most desirable outcome, but
in the abscense of a popular overturn of mullah
centric government it might be necessary.
Get ready for 10 buck a gallon gas and another recession
at least for awhile
People might get hurt!
Can you imaging General Marshall saying that in 1944?
I'm sure he thought about it, but would never say it.
>>and I worry a great deal about the unintended consequences of a strike<<
The Intended consequences of doing nothing will be much much worse.
We can control a lot from what WE do. We have little control over what happens from what THEY do.
Beats the alternative!
We have a bunch of hand-wringers running National Security and the Pentagon.
If I were Admiral Mullen, I would be more "openly" worried about our unstable Commander-In-Chief than ANYTHING Iran would/could do.
Yes, the consequences will be SEVERE. However, not as severe as Iran with the bomb and the means to deliver it.
$10 gas? Easily. We'd be taking 3.5mil bbl/day off the market from Iran alone, not to mention the tankers that would have to steer clear of the Gulf for week if not months.
The impact to the global economy would be enormous. Nearly back-breaking.
If we do this, we should do it conclusively so that the world can start it's recovery as soon as possible.
I agree. Some of the silly crap that Obama brings up is mind-boggling.
Or Curtis LeMay?
There is a much bigger picture here. There will be no attack on Iran anytime in the near future.
Let's just hope that it is a propaganda ploy, ie disinformation. But then, look who's running the military...
Put on some dry pants and get to work.
Sick of *unintended* consequences talk. (what kind of crap is that coming from an US Admiral anyways)
Everything has consequences. In this case, mushroom clouds over Israel and US bases in the ME if we don't act in time.
You got it!
Where did they dredge this guy up from?
The Time for a preventive attack on Iran's nuclear facilities becomes more difficult with each passing day. The Iranian dictators have POTUS Obama's number, and they know one of two things is true. Obama is either a very weak USA POTUS and leader or, he is silently working to buy time for his Muslim buddies in Iran to get their nuclear weapon. Obama could have made life very difficult for the Iranian dictatorship by siding with the Iranian people who are seeking freedom and liberty from their oppressive government, but Obama is not a freedom/liberty man and he remained deadly quiet as innocent Iranian citizens were beaten and killed on their very own streets. He is, IMHO, in exactly the same league as these despots that rule Iran. The Iranian rulers, through the silence of Obama gained time to get their act together and are now in total control of both the country and government. They look upon Obama and Hillary Clinton as allies in their quest to gain nuclear weapons (It's a done deal). I wonder when America will wake up, or will we fall as Rome did so many years ago. The fact is, the Roman empire endured for some fifteen hundred years, we've barely reached over 200 years. Sad, but true. See folks, we are only one election away from tyranny and destruction. How's the Obama Hope & Change working out for you, your children, your grandchildren???
Hey, believe it or not, war puts people back to work thus bring our economy out of recession. Hmmm?
Is there anybody east of West Virginia who understands we cannot rely on mutually assured destrcution from a religious fanatic who thinks he's morally obligated to his god to bring about the end of the world? Even Kruschev in his finest shoe pounding mode wanted to avoid millions more Russians dying. This guy is not K nor is there any reason to believe he won't set one of these off or sell it to another despot or terrorist.
Don't worry about Iran with nukes, but focus on getting gays into the Military??
Seems to me like a careerist and bureaucrat - but don't know enough about him to say for sure.
in the past, the effects of a nuclear strike were so devastating, that the US took any required actions to prevent it.
Have we sunk so low as a nation that we have lost control of our destiny??
And Iran throwing nukes or just using their possession to hegemonize Saudia Arabia and Israel is a lesser problem?
"The outbreak of a conflict will be a big, big, big problem for all of us, and I worry a great deal about the unintended consequences of a strike," Admiral Mullen said."
What a wussy sea-biscuit.
Real policy-makers are worried about the consequences of NOT KNOCKING OUT Iran's nuke capability.
My guess is that that Admiral is banking on a second Obama term and looking to be on the short list of Obama's Candy Ass Brass List.
Sorta reminds me of a story regarding Admiral King, the five-star Chief of Naval Operations in WWII. In a discussion with the press, King spoke about the US Navy's plans for the invasion of the Philippines, and the dangers it posed, given the still-potent strength of the Imperial Japanese Navy, including the Yamato, equipped with 18.1-inch guns. "Admiral, won't this put the fleet at risk?," asked a reporter. To which the admiral responded with an icy look and a short reply. "Son, that's what fleets are for."
Mullen is no Admiral King.
Yeesh. This Admiral is all about the small and petty and is unsuited to the times in which we live. Then again, Britain started WWII with Chamberlain at its helm.
Don't let Mullen fool you all: This Jack Squat administration has taken Iran as a NUCLEAR FACT!
The chances of Obama okaying a strike against Iran, or backing up Israel in such an action, are exactly zero.
The mullahs will have the bomb if they want it, and O will do nothing to hinder them.
War puts people back to work? You should really consider your words more carefully! Many of us freepers have loved ones fighting these "wars that put people to work" you speak of! My ire at your statement is not based on my lack of support on an Iranian strike if necessary. It's directed at such a thoughtless and callous statement. There is no number of jobs worth the blood of our sons, daughters, husbands or wives. War is simply a horrible necessity at times. God bless our country and the men and women who so valiantly serve. May we never forget the incalculable price of war.
Not my favorite flag ranker. Not in my top 100,000.
This man Mullen just epitomizes Clinton era brass. He has kowtowed to the Chinese and sweats the Iranians and what the world might look like as a result of unintended consequences.
You are suipposed to be an American Adm Shmuck. Your expertise and skill should be leading and shaping the world—not cowering from it.
Just surrender Americas place and propensity for good—but first surrender the fancy uniform and stars.
There must be some ngo or left wing spittle spewing group that could use your style of leadership.
A pansy?
All I need to know is this candy butt Admiral is not going to say anything to upset the man-boy. In fact, he's probably a puppet like HS Napolitano.
Shouldn't that be Admiral Stupid?
I can not remember Halsey ,Nimitz, or John Paul Jones making such remarks about out enemies.
>>Is there anybody east of West Virginia who understands we cannot rely on mutually assured destrcution from a religious fanatic who thinks hes morally obligated to his god to bring about the end of the world? <<
Apparently the eminence grise handlers of the current puppet who is inhabiting our White House don't. Remember, these are the same buffoons who want to prosecute the WOT (oh, forgive me — "overseas contingency operations") in the US courts instead of with our Military.
Their lack of spine will set the world aflame. Thank God the Israelis (who are hated by the antisemitic TOTUS-reader and his even more hateful handlers) tend to see things clearer.
Nah, in such an emergency, we'd shelve our anti-business attitudes, put our environmental extremist policies away for a while, and aggressively explore and recover our own indigenous resources.
LOLOL. ROFLOL. Stop it, you're killing me!!
I guess you didn't see the sarcasm in my response. I suppose I should make it clearer for the entire viewing audience.
If you check your history and observe what is happening today, you will see that after economic collapse, war seems to always follow. There's a reason for that.
The same groups who help cause economic collapses also benefit financially from the following struggles.
Again, I meant no disrespect to our troops/veterans. God Bless

For the Hollywood Star, on a beach on the first island, afraid I can't remember the exact coordinates but I think it is on the west side of the most south eastern part (if that makes any sense), you will see two bodies hanging in a tree and a head of someone buried in the sand (it's the same as the picture on the cover of the box). Interact with the head in the sand and you'll get the trophy.For the Poker trophy, there is a story mission on the second island where you have to play in a poker game. Just by winning on the lowest betting level you will get the trophy. It's pretty easy. You can ignore all the other poker games unless you really feel like it.

Chapter 17 Summary
This was a concise little essay about poems that mean very little, but are generally fun- or at least funny. An example of the latter is probably the work Orwell cites called Solomon Grundy, who is "born on Monday," "Christened on Tuesday"… and by the end of the week is buried. "And that was the end of Solomon Grundy."
Edward Lear is known for his nonsense rhymes that are set in made-up countries with peculiar, nonsensical characters. His most famous is probably "The Owl and the Pussycat." In Lear's limericks, the first and last lines have the same rhyme, giving them a peculiar charm. Still, Orwell thinks that, although fun, there is not much of a great intent here. In fact, he doesn't see much of a purpose in "nonsense poetry" at all...

Derbyshire and Durham will each be hoping to continue their surge towards very different targets when they meet at Derby in the pick of this week's LV= County Championship fixtures.
Durham have won five of their last six games to emerge as front-runners for the title, a 285-run trouncing of Sussex putting them 14.5 points clear of nearest challengers Yorkshire.
Yet the Division One leaders are likely to have their hands full against a Derbyshire side also finding their best form of the campaign.
After failing to win any of their first 10 championship matches, Karl Krikken's men have earned three victories in four outings and boast renewed hope of avoiding an immediate return to the second tier.
Last week's thrilling two-wicket win over Somerset at Taunton lifted Derbyshire out of the relegation zone - at the expense of their opponents - by a solitary point.
"We know two good performances could keep us in this division and we will put everything into getting two positive results," said Derbyshire skipper Wayne Madsen on his club's official website.
Left-arm seamer Jamie Harrison is available again for Durham after missing out last week with an ankle impingement. Fellow youngster Ryan Buckley also returns to a squad still shorn of the injured Mark Wood and England all-rounder Ben Stokes.
Derbyshire have added Mark Turner to the 12 players on duty at Taunton.
An unchanged Yorkshire party travels to Sussex having had a week off following their loss to Durham at Scarborough.
Tykes seamer Liam Plunkett said: "It is galling to have been leading the table for most of the season only for Durham to go clear now. The pressure is on us to respond.
"All we can do is play positive cricket and aim to win our remaining matches. There is a lot of cricket to be played and so much can happen between now and the end of September."
Sussex welcome back England's Matt Prior, Ireland's Ed Joyce, their captain, and Scotland's Matt Machan. Left-arm spinner Ashar Zaidi is included in the squad on non-contract terms following his trial with the second XI. Andy Miller boosts the seam-bowling options, while leading wicket-taker Steve Magoffin hopes to shake off a virus.
Neither Somerset nor Surrey will feel they can afford to lose at Taunton. Surrey are 15 points adrift at the foot of the table but do boast a game in hand over this week's opponents, who suffered a morale-sapping eight-wicket defeat to Notts Outlaws in yesterday's Yorkshire Bank 40 semi-final.
Somerset must do without seamer Jamie Overton, who played yesterday but rejoins England's NatWest Series squad today, yet have George Dockrell back from Ireland duty and Peter Trego fit again.
Likewise, Surrey have Gary Wilson back from Ireland action while Chris Tremlett is set to play after being rested last week and Zafar Ansari has recovered from a thumb injury. Arun Harinath has been dropped, with Dominic Sibley to make his first-class debut in the opening batsman's place.
Third-placed Middlesex, 28.5 points behind Durham having played a game more, host Nottinghamshire, who have slipped perilously close to the relegation places, in the other top-flight fixture.
Middlesex are minus Toby Roland-Jones, who is likely to miss the rest of the season with a knee problem, and fellow seamer Corey Collymore, who has returned to Barbados for personal reasons but will be back for next week's match with Yorkshire.
Notts have batsman James Taylor, who played just the second half of last week's draw with Warwickshire due to England duty, available for the whole of this game.

The Unruly Alphabet (Hardcover)
Special Order
In "The Unruly Alphabet," illustrator Aaron McKinney uses the Latin alphabet to create a lively and haunting abecedary. The restless glyphs tangle and spar with one another, setting the stage for scenes where "A was arrested, while B bit bullies" and "G is gored, which makes H hurl." McKinney renders the scenes with macabre detail and sinister wit, and the accompanying captions hum with gallows humor. "The Unruly Alphabet" is truly an alphabet book like no other, for the brooding child in every adult.

Thinking of some awesome movies to brighten up your weekend? Well, try some with Sofia Vergara. There is more to Sofia than just Mondern Family. If you look though your TV Guide subscription you'll find plenty of her movies on repeat. She is a top class actor that never disappoints in any of the movies that she acts in. Some movies to be on the look out for are;
Hot pursuit

Spending some time just for yourself is essential, as this could relax you and help you disconnect from all those daily problems that you have. There are more things that you could do for this – read a book, listen to music, go out with your friends or take a vacation.
However, some of these activities ask some concentration on your part, some money or more than just a few free hours. What you can do instead of all these is to watch a movie. Yes, that's right – a movie will let you have the perfect end of the day, especially if you've been quite busy lately.
You can always watch a movie, especially if all you've got are just a couple of free hours. Most of the movies are about 2 hours long, so this will be more than enough. In the morning or in the evening, you can always watch a movie. There are so many possibilities for you today, that you can also watch it whenever you have less than 2 free hours, especially with all those available smart gadgets like smart phones or tablets.
You can watch a movie from the comfort of your home or in the cinema. This is definitely your
choice, but there is a big difference between these. Unless you have BlueRay DVD, you won't see
the quality that the cinema is offering you.
Of course, at home you can watch it anytime, while for the cinema you have to get a ticket and stay in line to enter the cinema room.
How to Find It
If you're going to a cinema, there are always available the schedules. There you will find all the information about the movies that are played, the time when they are played and how much the ticket costs.
If you're planning to see it online, you can find the movies directly online – there are plenty of free websites that are offering you online movies, but you can also check the dedicated websites like IMDB – where every movie is rated and commented.
If you're looking for the cheapest way to see quality movies, that leaves you with the online movies. You can also rent DVDs and watch them at home. However, the online environment is still the cheapest movies provider, as there you will find everything that has been uploaded online.
The cinemas will practice different prices, and the ticket price will be higher especially if it's about a premier. You'll also risk to not be able to get any more tickets, as the best movies will always be played with a full cinema room.
A Title
One of the best movies to be seen on a quiet Sunday evening is the movie "Chef". This is a combination of adventure, comedy and drama, this movie has a wonderful starring – you will see Jon Favreau, who also wrote and directed the movie, along with John Leguizamo, Bobby Cannavale, Scarlet Johansson or Dustin Hoffman. You will also see Oliver Plat and Robert Downey Jr. All of these are worldly known stars, who have played in plenty of movies, having a wide experience on the set. All you'll have to do is search them online and see other movies that they have starred in.
For this movie however, you should expect to live along the characters the experience of finding the inspiration in your life – the main character is a chef, who lost almost everything and has to take it up again from the beginning. The journey that he takes is one that each of you can take at least once during your life.
If you want to check out more information about this movie, you could do it here, but no matter what some people say, it's a move that is worth watching.
