Top stategists advise Democrats not to say 'recovery'
In addition, Stan Greenberg, James Carville and others wrote that in head-to-head polling tests the mere mention of the word "recovery" is trumped by a Republican assertion that the Obama administration has had six years to get the economy moving and its policies haven't worked.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi softball team used a walk-off single by Brittany Tucker in game two of their Southland Conference series to sweep the Saturday doubleheader between the teams. The Islanders won game one by a 4-1 final while taking a 2-1 win in the second half of the twin bill.
The pair of home wins improves Texas A&M - Corpus Christi to 28-9 overall and 12-2 in Southland Conference games. The wins moved their record to 23-1 at home this year. The Bobcats are now 15-16 overall and 8-6 in league play.
Greta Cecchetti won the first game, pitching all seven innings while giving up just one run on five hits while walking one and striking out none to improve to 5-3 on the year. Vianca Pesina picked up the victory in game two, throwing seven innings for a complete game while giving up just one run on five hits while walking one and striking out two batters.
The late game featured more errors than offense early on as the Bobcats committed four while the Islanders had two of their own in the game. The Bobcats managed to get on the board first, scoring a single run in the top of the third for an early 1-0 lead.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi evened it in the bottom of the fifth, scoring one run as Lauren Sanders singled and was followed by a Caley Jeter triple to right center field to score Sanders all the way from first base to make it a 1-1 ballgame.
The Bobcats threatened in the both the fifth and seventh innings, but inning-ending double plays stopped the Texas State rally.
The bottom of the seventh featured late-game heroics from the Islanders catcher as Tucker hit a walk-off single to give her team a 2-1 victory. The inning started off with Sanders picking up a single, her fourth hit of the game and sixth of the day, to start the rally. After a failed sacrifice bunt attempt, Kacie Smith doubled to left field to move Sanders over to third base. After a strikeout swinging put Texas A&M - Corpus Christi down to their final out, Tucker came to the plate and laced a 2-0 pitch down the right field line for the game-winning hit that allowed Sanders to score from third.
Sanders finished the game 4-for-4 while Hannah Schwarz, Jeter, Smith, Tucker, Cassie Redman and Laura Phillips had one hit apiece. Jeter and Tucker had the only two RBI for the team.
In the first game of the day the Islanders struck first, scoring one run in the bottom of the first to take the early lead. Sanders started it off with a single to the shortstop and moved to third on a Jeter single to right center field. Smith drove Sanders in with a single through the left side of the infield for a 1-0 lead.
The Bobcats answered in the top of the second, scoring one run on two hits to even the score at 1-1.
The score would remain the same until the bottom of the sixth inning when Texas A&M - Corpus Christi plated three runs to take a 4-1 lead.
Lauren Dodson started things off with a walk and moved to second on a Tucker single up the middle. Redman walked to load the bases before a passed ball allowed Dodson to score from third while Tucker and Redman moved up a base.
Phillips then walked to once again load the bases and Sandy Schumann followed with an RBI fielder's choice to score Tucker while Phillips was thrown out at second base. Redman then scored on another passed ball while Schumann advanced to second to make it a 4-1 game.
Cecchetti closed out the victory with a scoreless top of the seventh inning for her fifth win of the season. Offensively, Schwarz and Sanders both finished 2-for-4 while Smith, Tucker and Redman had one hit each.
The final game of the series is set for a 12 p.m. start on Sunday at Chapman Field. Live stats and video will be available by visiting www.GoIslanders.com.

It's tiresome to hear people declare that every trip to the polls is "the most important election in our lifetime" or "in the past decade" or "since the last one." Even if it weren't a hackneyed phrase, it's impossible to know whether an election is all that significant until the people who win have a chance to govern. So, no predictions here about whether the 2013 municipal elections will change anything other than names on doors.
But there are reasons the race could be important: All three citywide offices, four of the five borough presidencies and most of the City Council will turn over; the city will be bidding farewell to a three-term mayor, marking the end of an era; there is a crowded field for the top job--at least 10 serious candidates between the two parties, with another two or three people weighing a run.
The biggest question, though, is whether most of the city will care, let alone vote.
Only 26 percent of registered voters cast ballots in the 2009 mayoral election, down from a pretty poor 33 percent in 2005. And the turnout numbers seem to reflect a deeper, even more troubling problem of people disengaging from the civic sphere--feeling that the government and our elections belong to someone else.
The media has a lot of important jobs in the political process, like simply reporting what the candidates say so that voters who do pay attention can pick the person they want to vote for, and checking at least some of those campaign claims to see if they bear some resemblance to the truth. But sometimes the coverage of elections--with its focus on fundraising numbers, commercials and strategy--not only misses the big story of voter disengagement, it could even contribute to the estrangement.
This year, in partnership with City & State and WNET's MetroFocus, City Limits is going to cover the campaign a different way. Rather than just following what the candidates do, we're going to report on how the campaign--and the city--look to small groups of people in five city neighborhoods.
Are the campaign debates getting any notice in public housing in Brownsville? Does anyone who frequents an Upper West Side diner actually watch the candidates' commercials? How do patrons of a Staten Island bar feel about the way post-Sandy issues are being addressed? What do folks in Bayside think of the mayor? What do customers at a Mott Haven restaurant want out of the next one?
Follow all the action here and here. And please, let us know how the 2013 race looks to you.

I would like to download music videos from VK.com but I cannot find an option on the site to do this. A friend told me to try Internet Download Manager. Is this a good tool or is there another application that I can use?
Tips to download vk video
VK.com is a social networking site and the most popular in Europe. Majority of its members are from Russian speaking countries, though it is also available in other languages. It has similarities with the social networking giant, Facebook. The site allows adding friends, joining groups and posting status, links, photos and videos. While there is no direct option to download VK video, there are different applications available that you can use to download videos from the site.
Internet Download Manager
It is true that Internet Download Manager can be used for downloading videos from different sites including VK.com. However, this is not the best software for the job as it expires after 30 days and it always keeps on updating. Furthermore, some settings need to be changed in order to download from other websites, which can be inconvenient.
Video Download Capture
A good alternative to download vkontakte video is Video Download Capture. This is one of the best programs that will let you save videos from almost any sites online. You will find it easy to learn how to download VK video even if it is your first time using the application as the options, buttons and menus would tell you immediately what they are for.
Whatever you can watch on the internet can be captured by this tool. You can automatically have it detect and download any video that you play on your web browser or set it to let you manually enter the URL of the video you wish to download. If you want to download videos from vk, click on the green enable video detector link. Else, keep it disabled or if it is enabled, you can disable it by clicking on the disable video detector link.
You can convert the downloaded video to another format that you prefer. It supports wide range of video formats so you can play the video using any media player and device. Some of these video formats include MP4, MOV, 3GP, Mpeg-4, AVI, WMV, ASF, MKV and AMV. This VK video downloader can also be used to capture mp3 files. The steps are the same as downloading videos online. Video Download Capture will automatically detect that the file is in mp3 format. Downloaded video or audio can also be converted to other audio formats such as OGG and WMA.
Now, it is convenient to download videos from VK using the available third party downloader. You can use Internet Download Manager if you want to; but as mentioned it has several drawbacks that could bring inconvenience on your downloading. If you don't want to keep on having to update the software and changing its settings when downloading on other sites, it is best to use Video Download Capture. Downloading with this program is easy and fast. With this, you can choose whatever is suitable for your specific situation. For instance, if you are downloading all videos from a certain playlist, then you can choose to automatically detect and download the videos since you will be downloading all of them anyway. If not, you can always choose the videos that you wish to download and manually download them by pasting their URL to the program.

WASHINGTON: The US economy expanded more than previously estimated in the second quarter, reflecting an improvement in the trade deficit and a pickup in household spending on utilities.
Gross domestic product climbed at a 1.7% annual rate from April through June, up from an initial estimate of 1.5%, revised commerce department figures showed on Tuesday in Washington. The figure followed a 2% first-quarter pace and matched the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey. The revised data also showed companies invested in new equipment at the weakest pace in almost three years.

The year 2008 marks the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the Super Cub.
There has never been a bike like the Super Cub: for half a century, its basic design has remained largely unchanged, and its sales continue to grow to this day. This little motorcycle that has won loyal fans in more than 160 countries worldwide genuinely embodies Honda's fundamental principle of creating products that are both useful and fun.
Press Release: Honda Celebrates 50th Anniversary of Super Cub Motorcycle
Press Release: Cumulative Global Production of Cub Series Motorcycles Reaches 60 Million Units
While the modern Cub still retains features of the original C100 such as a step-through body, 4-stroke engine, and automatic centrifugal clutch, its internal mechanisms have undergone comprehensive reform. The engine is now PGM-FI-equipped, and many other improvements have been achieved in these fifty years, covering type and quality of materials, manufacturing methods and adjustment of specifications to meet local needs around the world. Without constant evolution, the Cub could not possibly have maintained its popularity for so long.
The Super Cub's original mission was to be useful—both on the job and at play. Rising standards of living have also brought about the emergence of the Sports Cub, with its focus on recreational riding. In 1961, during the Cub's third year in production, Honda announced a wide range of new models, including the Cub Racing CR110 and the Honda Monkey, which was developed for amusement parks. That year also marked the release of the Hunter Cub in the United States, a model adapted to the sweeping expanses of the local landscape. And in Europe, Honda released models equipped with pedals to comply with local regulations.
Thanks to flexible modification of design and features to meet the needs of each market, the Cub has won the allegiance of customers worldwide.
Even now, the Cub Series continues to expand to new markets as new and innovative models and versions of the Cub series continue to emerge. In recent years, Honda has developed sporty new models like the Dream and the Wave in Thailand. These bikes have been a big hit in rapidly developing Asian markets, and Honda is now producing them throughout Asia. Honda is also developing and manufacturing original models suited to the local environments in Vietnam and China. Demand for the Wave is also strong in Latin America, and it is in production throughout the region. Meanwhile, in Brazil, Honda has addressed customer preferences by developing a popular model called Biz that features a built-in compartment for helmet storage. European customers have taken to the Innova, a scooter made in Thailand, and its sales have expanded to Turkey, Northern Europe, former Soviet nations, and Eastern Europe. Riders in Oceana favor the CT110, a trekking bike produced in Japan.
The Cub series has never ceased to evolve as it expands into new markets. As long as it continues to adapt to the needs of its riders, always achieving the key goals of being useful and fun to ride, the Cub series will surely continue to grow.

In September 2007, the 50cc Super Cub was switched from a carburetor-type fuel supply to Honda's electronically controlled, programmed fuel injection system (PGM-FI), featuring continuous, computerized electronic combustion control ensuring optimum combustion to achieve both cleaner emissions and improved fuel economy.
Motorcycle fuel injection was originally developed for large-displacement bikes, and until the PGM-FI developed for the Super Cub, were based on smaller versions of automobile systems. PGM-FI for Super Cub was developed to miniaturize the system while keeping the cost low.
From the fuel pump to the throttle valve, Super Cub's PGM-FI was completely rethought. A new form of pressure regulator was designed with a simpler construction with fewer parts, resulting in micron-level precision that accurately regulates fuel, that when idling, is squirted from the 130 micron holes for just 2/1000 of a second. The diameter of the new compact PGM-FI system's throttle valve is 18mm, maybe as small as can be made, reducing its CO value to around 1/5th of its carburetor-equipped predecessor. The Super Cub is so efficient that it can still be kick-started, even if the battery goes dead.
Every aspect of Super Cub's PGM-FI has been injected with Honda's advanced technologies.

Michaelyn is back in Arkansas for the New Year and staying throughout the week. So my strategy for tonight is to play lots of poker, watch bowl games, and drink copious amounts of alcohol with my fiancee and my family. I also plan to get my first ever New Year's kiss (from Michaelyn, not my family…insert joke about Arkansas here). This is something I've wanted to do for a while. It's one of those little things in life that probably means more to me than it should. I'll be glad to knock it off my bucket list.
Remember, liberals like myself have no family values and are out to destroy families because we're bitter and angry, not because we realize the value of love and because we want everybody to have the opportunity to have loving, familial relationships on their own terms.
Happy New Year, everybody. No more blogging for me today (and I'll probably get a late start tomorrow). See you in 2013!

Our take: Gospel singer BeBe Winans has written a new book detailing his friendship with the late pop star Whitney Houston, who died in February by drowning as a result of a drug overdose. Winans paints Houston as a woman who loved God, but struggled with surrendering her life to the faith she'd accepted.
Decorated singer Whitney Houston left her loyal fans throughout the world heartbroken when she passed away on Feb. 11. However, autopsy reports revealing that Houston had used several drugs including cocaine before her death threatened to put a cloud over her legacy as a multi-Grammy award winning artist with several chart topping albums.
Gospel Singer and personal friend to Houston, BeBe Winans hopes to unveil the New Jersey singer's true nature in his soon-to-be-released book "The Whitney I Knew".
The gospel legend and his family forged a friendship with Houston 28 years ago and maintained an open line of communication until her death. Brother Marvin Winans preached at Houston's funeral while he and sister CeCe Winans sang.
Now months after her death BeBe Winans writes that Houston was a devoted friend who loved people and God but was often "defiant" and "unruly."

This is the eighth annual mini-grant cycle for the Grand Island Education Foundation.
During the past seven years, 119 mini-grants totaling $99,912 funded projects across the district.
Grants have benefited more than 23,000 students.
Grand Island Education Foundation Board members surprised teachers and students in the Grand Island Public Schools when they arrived at schools Tuesday and Wednesday to award 16 classroom
One of those mini-grants is benefiting students at Jefferson Elementary School.
For fourth and fifth grade classes at Jefferson Elementary, learning how to use a protractor is coming easily.
"The kids are very engaged in what they're doing," fourth grade teacher Chris Wykoff says.
One reason for that success, she says, is the new projection system in their classroom.
Jefferson Elementary Principal Jeanna Fiala says it provides teachers with a new way to show visual images to their classes.
"You can put a book under there and the whole class can see," Fiala says.
Fiala says the class can also make and watch videos, take photos and read articles using the IPEVO projection technology.
"They can do projects with the IPEVO, they can demonstrate, they can do the teaching, you can do practically anything," Wykoff says.
Education Foundation Assistant Kari Price says the district's teachers have great ideas to share.
But in a time of district budget cuts, many of those ideas aren't possible.
Price says that's where the Foundation's mini-grants step in.
This year, the funds have provided book clubs for elementary schools, field trips for English learning students to see a Civil War enactment, and iPod touches for kindergartners to use.
"This is just another avenue that teachers can reach kids in a new and different way, but still get the content and capture their attention and get them actively participating," Fiala says.
For the 2011-2012 school year, 16 mini-grants totaling $17,825 were awarded. Grants range from $200 to $2,000. Approximately 3,000 students will benefit from a classroom mini-grant this school year.

Brickworld 2010 After-Action reports
Posted 21 June 2010 - 05:33 PM
This was my 4th Brickworld (3rd as a registrant) It was a great time and utterly overwhelming. 4 full ballrooms of LEGO insanity. My only complaint (asside from the late load-in, and that's not BW's fault) is that it is so big that alot of what I saw runs together in my head. A camera really is a must for attendees who want to be able to recall what they saw. Good to see many familiar faces from previous years, but as usual, I didn't have nearly enough time to hang out. Next year I hope to spend a night or two at the hotel so I have more time for after-hours socializing. The LEGO community really is a great group of people, and BW is a great place to see it at it's best.
The NILTC layout that I was a part of alot of fun and -if I may say- well done. As expected, while I was away running the BILd table, my section was molested by my fellow club members. (horses on top of buildings, bikers being run over by trucks and crashing off the cliffs, etc) I also enjoyed being a part of the Brickarms Modern Warfare layout.
The Community Service and BILd presentations that I facilitated went well, and though not massively attended, they both stimulated many good discussions. The BILd table was visited by many people. We increased our email list and raised over $150 for the program!
So Thanks to Bryan, Adam and the rest of the BW team for another extremely well-run event! I'm not sure how you will top this one, but I have no doubt that you will.

I can definitely say that this has been the highlight of my summer so far.
I brought two MOCs, so I'll be putting pictures up soon!
And also a big thanks to the Brickworld staff who were all great!

The Pirate game was outstanding, and the "BrickTech" Battletech mech game was great too.
For the record, I will be running BrickQuest next year so be sure to bring your favorite dice.
See you all next year.

Posted 21 June 2010 - 10:59 PM
A link to my photobucket account if anyone wants to look at pictures. This should be a public album and anyone is free to use the Brickworld pictures however they would like. We also made time to go over to the Lego Discovery Zone and then to the Lego Store.
We loved the displays...but it was overwhelming. It was a lot of back and forth, keeping tabs on the little ones and getting those few instances to put a face to a eurobrick member name. It was great to meet those that I had a chance to meet. Wonderful people, wonderful atmosphere and great displays by everyone. I think the size of everything was the reason the wife finally talked about spending a night there. The kids could have at it and have some fun. Me also :)

I got to meet a few AFOLs who I only knew through the internet and spend a little time with friends from past years (though not as much as I would have liked!) and got to marvel at some truly incredible creations. It was also my first time being at the event with my Non-LEGO Significant Other and that ended up being a great experience too. I ate more real meals and had someone to share the excitement (and that frustrating drive ) with and he seemed to enjoy himself as well so that's all good.
So, yes, another good year and I already find myself thinking about 2011.

You say molested. I say enhanced.
And I didn't do it.
Once again, I was humbled and awed by some of the displays. The giant chess set in person was a thing of beauty. I am very much looking forward to when they make it World of Lights and Sounds and Smells.

Stacy and I had a blast meeting all sorts of new friends and connecting with old ones...especially after hours. Our displays were fun...but I am so sick of 10 hour setup and 4 hour tear-down times. I'm thinking we might bring something else next year. The Charity Auction was a lot of fun and we managed to raise over $11,000 for charity while having a great time!
Even though I am a walking zombie right now, I am counting the days until Brickworld 2011.

I'm still in recovery mode trying to catch up on lost sleep, haha. But anyways, it was great meeting other EB members and seeing the rooms of Amazing MOCs.

Also, I went to most of the seminars that I could, and the ones about shadow boxes, dioramas, landscaping, and castle building were incredibly inspiring, and as a result, I actually built my first little diorama! (Not a lot of detail, but its mine, all mine!)
I look forward to next year, and seeing new and old faces alike.

And came together all right in the end:
Next year, I'll be part of the display with Stash, CopMike, I Scream Clone and Quarry whose Wild West display was awesome, not to mention nominated for Best Display!
It was great to see Dave and Stacy and the ToTLUG display again:
I realize that since so much happened in my life after last year's event I had no time to improve my train knowledge. So Dave has been incredibly patient with me the last two years, trying to explain to me why the way I build doesn't make the train go. My train keeps stopping, literally just quitting. Not sure why yet, but I hope to learn why by next year so I don't have to bug Dave or burn out my motor.
The most inspiring model to me was Michael Rutherford's "Traders on the Rift."
We also got to meet Norro! He's a great builder and an awesome guy and I hope we get to see him again next year:
Other EB members we got to hang out with include
and Sir Nadroj:
In the end, I was able to stay at the hotel an extra day and got that social aspect I had missed in the first couple of days. It really was an awesome event and I'm looking forward to being just as involved with Brickworld 2011. Thanks to everyone who made it such an awesome event.

It was cool meeting CopMike, I Scream Clone and Quarryman. I met them Friday night in line at the dmaaged box sale and stopped by their layout to hang out throughout the day. I have been to the previous BW events but this was my first year as an attendee, I definitely had a great time and it was cool to meet people who's MOC's I have seen online. next time around I will stop by the Tot-Lug layout when Dave and Stacey are there to say hi. Next year I hope to have better planning to make it Thur and Friday during the day for workshops etc.. and I think I am actually going to stay at the hotel. The 40 min drive back and forth for a couple days is a bit much.

Marshall Distributing is asking dealers to stop by its booth for a free Marshall pit shirt valued at $89.95 retail. All they have to do is get their account number checked off a dealer list (one shirt per dealer) and wear the shirt out of the booth. Not already a Marshall dealer? Fill out a dealer application to get a free shirt also.
Marshall's booth is only about 10 to 20 feet from its traditional spot. "We are displaying lots of new products this year," says national sales manager Chuck Herman. "The list is long!"
New brands include ProGrip (goggles and grips), Sena (helmet communication systems), Xena (locks), Condor (wheel chocks), Cyclo (lubes and cleaners), Muck-Off (cleaners), Lighting Performance (floorboards and pegs for the Can-Am Spyder), Risk Racing (bike lifts and accessories), RZR Mask (riding dust masks), Sabo (replacement goggle lenses and tear-offs for all goggles), Shindy (carb repair kits) and Street FX (lighting for bikes).
New from Marshall Distributing house brands are Marshall Solo II MX apparel, the GMAX GM76X motocross helmet, Pink Ribbon Rider helmets by GMAX, a helmet brake light kit for GMAX helmets, a Zoan carbon fiber helmet, Zoan motocross helmets and Zoan half-helmets.
"When you look at all of the new part numbers from our existing vendors, the number of new items is in the thousands," Herman says. "We will also have many 'booth specials' that dealers can take advantage of, right at the show."
The Cass City, Mich. distributor says that in the second quarter it will begin using a new operating system. "Our goal with this project is to make order entry even easier and faster than it is now," Herman says. "With total integration by year's end we should see big enhancements to our dealers' online experience with Marshall Distributing. … We are looking for another strong year for our dealers and ourselves."

This is a transcript of this speech made for the convenience of readers and researchers. A copy of the speech exists in the Senate Speech file of the John F. Kennedy Pre-Presidential Papers at the John F. Kennedy Library.
I come here this morning to ask you to join with me in a great common task - the task of rebuilding the strength, the prestige and the vitality of the United States. The effort to which I summon you will not be an easy one - the road ahead for America is perilous and the difficulties are great. But I believe that with your help - with the help of all Americans - we will find that our real greatness and our finest years lie just ahead.
My campaign for President of the United States is founded on a single assumption - the assumption that the American People are tired of the drift in our national course - that they are weary of the continual steady decline in our national vitality and prestige - a decline which has led to economic injustice at home and increasing peril abroad. And, further, I believe, that Americans today have the strength and the vitality and the deep desire to start America moving again, toward its historic aims of justice and opportunity at home - and peace and freedom abroad.
This is the central issue of this campaign - the willingness of the American people to accept the great challenges which confront us - and to rise to those challenges with the effort and dedication which will permit a great nation to realize a still greater future. But if the American people are willing - and I think they are - to accept that challenge, America must choose a party that will so lead them.
I believe that the guide to that choice can be found in the histories of our two political parties for Mr. Nixon and I - the Republican and Democratic parties - have not been frozen in ice or collected in amber since the two conventions. Our parties are like two rivers which flow back through history - and you can judge the force, the power, and the direction of the rivers by studying where they rose and where they ran throughout their long course.
There is no better guide to the historic differences between our parties than the campaign slogans which have served as their rallying cries throughout this century. "Stand pat with McKinley;" "Back to normalcy with Warren G. Harding;" Keep cool with Coolidge;" "Had enough;" "Time for a change." These are the weakest, least constructive, least challenging slogans in American political history. They appeal to timidity and retreat - rather than to the capacities and aspirations of our people.
But contrast these with the slogans of which we Democrats are proud; Woodrow Wilson's New Freedom; Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal; Harry Truman's Fair Deal, and Adlai Stevenson's New America.
And I would also contrast the slogans of this campaign. The Republican candidate stresses "You never had it so good." But the Democratic Party sets before the American people the challenge of the New Frontier.
We are not just talking merely about slogans. For they are reflected in the consistent policies of our two great political parties toward the two great issues of this election: The issues of economic justice and compassion for our own people - and the great overriding issue of peace.
The history of the Democratic Party is the history of human progress in our time - from the humane legislation of Woodrow Wilson, to the great reforms of Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman.
But the story of the Republican Party is a different story. There is no new Republican Party - and no old Republican Party - there is only the same Republican Party which, for half a century, has opposed every single progressive measure designed to improve human welfare and reduce human misery.
This is the party which opposed social security - and then ran a campaign to repeal it. This is the party which has opposed adequate workmen's compensation - adequate minimum wages - and adequate limitations on the hours of labor. And this the party which today is fighting against medical care for the aged, against legislation to clear slums and renew cities, against aid to our schools, and against those programs that are designed to halt unemployment and give aid to depressed areas.
This is the party that tried to block the New Deal - that tried to halt the Fair Deal - and that is trying to keep America from crossing the New Frontier. But they have never succeeded in the past - and they will not succeed in 1960.
For in 1960 the need to eliminate poverty and hunger and insecurity is as great as it ever was - and thus the need for the Democratic Party is as great as it ever was.
More than four million Americans are unemployed - struggling to get by on an average unemployment check of more than $31.00 a month - and the jobs of millions more are in jeopardy because of the steady replacement of men by machines. I have seen the meaning of automation in the coal mines of West Virginia and machine shops all over the nation - and I think it's time this nation took steps to harness this force and make it a blessing for all, and a curse for none.
There are five million Americans who live on a monthly Government food package consisting of less than 10 dollars worth of flour and rice and corn-meal, and a little lard and dried milk. And I have seen the crippled bodies of children who must try to survive on this meager diet.
There are nine million Americans over the age of 65 who receive incomes of less than twenty dollars a week - and three million more who get less than forty dollars a week. But these same older citizens are faced with rising medical costs at a time of life when their need for medical care is the greatest and their income is at its lowest.
We have millions of children trying to receive a decent education in obsolete and overcrowded classrooms - with overworked and underpaid teachers.
And in every area of our national life - from our city slums to our neglected farms - we find the same story of a government "frozen in the ice of its own indifference" - a government which has ignored the basic needs of the American people - a government which has failed the American people. In 1960 the Democratic Party will not fail.
And in our efforts we welcome the support of working men and women - the support of the labor movement. For the labor movement is people. It shares the goals and the aspirations of all Americans. And the labor movement in the future - as it has in the past - will be an ardent and effective champion of the economic well-being of the American people.
With your help we intend to return to the principles of the full employment act of 1946 - to see to it that every American who wants to work will be able to find a job in the city or on the farm. To do this we must speed up the growth of an economy which - in the past eight years - has been growing at one-half its rate as under Truman, and one-third the rate of the Soviet Union.
Our economy today is still the strongest in the world - but it can be stronger - and it will be stronger under Democratic policies which will stimulate our growth and put men back to work.
With your help we intend to see to it that every American is protected in his later years against the ravages of disease and disability through a system of social security insurance. And we will do more than aid our older citizens. We will also ask their aid. For the New Frontier is not for the young alone. If we are to meet its opportunities and challenges, we will need the wisdom, the skill and the experience of our older citizens. We need their help and their guidance in building a better America - and I will ask them for that help and that guidance.
With your help we intend to help the states of this nation build the classrooms and pay for the teachers which we must have if we are to have an educational system second to none. And America cannot afford a second-rate education.
And with your help we intend to use the full legal and moral authority of the Federal Government itself - to protect every American in the exercise of his full constitutional rights.
These programs are not only vital to the welfare of our own people - they are vital to the successful pursuit of peace and the extension of freedom throughout the world.
For only an America which is building a better life for its own people - only a vital and growing America - can build the strength necessary to keep the peace, and serve as a source of hope and aspiration to the struggling people of the world.
That is why the Democratic party is best equipped to lead this nation through the perilous times ahead. For the problems of the world are largely the problems of people - people who are struggling to emerge from poverty and ignorance - people who seek freedom in a world at peace. And only a party which understands human needs at home can hope to understand them abroad. Only a party that acts vigorously on behalf of people at home can provide vigorous leadership around the world. Only a party that believes in the future at home can help win the hearts of people who have broken with the past.
It is no coincidence that our prestige and influence in the world are declining when our rate of growth is also declining, and when we are under the leadership of a party which refuses to meet America's most urgent domestic needs. In Cuba - in the Congo - in Asia - in every corner of a seething world - militant communism is on the march. We cannot meet its advance by arguing with the Russians or by exchanging insults. Freedom will be victorious only if freedom is strong, and growing stronger - only if our free society demonstrates its great capacity to meet the needs of its people, and provide dynamic leadership for all the world.
I believe that we will succeed in this great task. For I am confident that the future can belong to those who believe in freedom.
I do not think that the world is moving the direction of communism. I think in time it will move in the direction which we have followed. But this will only be true if we are willing to meet our own responsibilities - if we realize that what we have is good, but that we can do better - if we recognize that our past experience is great, but that our future possibilities are even greater - if we recognize that today we do not have just a single candidate running for high office - but that all of you, in 1961, will hold office in the great Republic - and upon all of you great responsibilities and burdens will be placed.
I do not run for the office of President assuring you that life in the sixties will be an easy life. For the coming decade will be a time of great danger. It will require great effort. But I do run for the Presidency confident that our country - and our way of life - can meet the challenges which confront us - and that the President of the United States must play the leading role in the conquest of those challenges.
For I think of the Presidency in the same way that Franklin Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson thought of it - as an office whose chief task was to set before the American people the things that they must do - the responsibilities that they must meet - in short, to set before them the unfinished agenda of our times.
So I call upon all of you to join me on our journey to the New Frontier. The voyage is an uncertain one - great dangers lie in our path - but we will all be partners in a great and historic journey - and beyond the horizon lies a better and freer life for all mankind.

A fast triple-patterning solution with fix guidance(Paper 9053-9)Wednesday, February 26, 10:30 am – 12:20 pm

Leuven (Belgium); Kevin Lukas, Synopsys, Inc. (USA); Weimin Gao, Synopsys, Inc. (Belgium) and IMEC (Belgium)
Abstract: Logic manufacturers are increasingly looking towards a triple patterning solution for their 10nm node Metal1 layer, and possibly for Via0, and local interconnect layers as well. Given the nature of NP-completeness for the 3-colorability problem, a challenge is how to go beyond a standard cell to efficiently decompose a layout at a block or chip level. Unlike an odd loop in double patterning, a triple patterning coloring conflict can't be represented in a single loop. Another challenge for triple patterning is then how to report errors that the user can effectively use to fix them. We have developed a triple patterning decomposition system to address both challenges. We believe this system is the first of its kind, both in terms of performance and in terms of useful error output.
A new integrated Monte-Carlo code for the simulation of high-resolution scanning electron microscopy images for metrology in microlithography(Paper 9050-17)Tuesday, February 25: 8:00 am – 10:00 am
Authors: Mauro Ciappa, Emre Ilgüsatiroglu, Alexey Y. Illarionov, ETH Zürich (Switzerland); Lars H. Bomholt Jr., Synopsys Switzerland, LLC (Switzerland)
Abstract: In order to keep pace with the relentless downscaling resolution imposed to metrology in the micro-lithography, a detailed physical understanding and modeling of SEM signal generation at the level of fundamental particle interactions and charge transfer, as well as an accurate description of the sample in the nanometer-scale are required. A new Monte Carlo code is presented that includes among others definition of arbitrary geometries with sub-nanometer resolution, high performance computing capabilities, trapped charge and electric field calculation, electron tracking in electrostatic field, and calculation of 3D dose distributions. Applications are proposed dealing with the synthesis of SEM images of models generated by mesoscale simulation and other approximation techniques.
Applying ILT mask synthesis for co-optimizing design rules and DSA model parameters(Paper 9052-47)Thursday, February 27, 1:35 pm – 3:35 pm
Author: Thuc Dam, Synopsys, Inc. (USA)
Abstract: During early stage development of a DSA process, there are many unknown interactions between design, DSA process, RET, and mask synthesis. The computational resolution of these unknowns can guide development towards a common process space whereby manufacturing success can be assured. This paper will demonstrate the use of existing Inverse Lithography Technology (ILT) to quickly co-optimize these multitude of parameters.
Combining lithography and etch models in OPC modeling(Paper 9052-76)Tuesday, February 25, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm Poster Session
Authors: Lena V. Zavyalova, Lan Luan, Hua Song, Synopsys, Inc. (USA); Thomas Schmoeller, Synopsys GmbH (Germany); James P. Shiely, Synopsys, Inc. (USA)
Abstract: With constant shrinking of device critical dimensions (CD), the quality of pattern transfer in IC fabrication depends on the etch process and the exposure process fidelities, and the interaction of lithographic and etching processes is no longer negligible. Etch effect correction with accurate models has become an important component in optical proximity correction (OPC) modeling and related applications. It is now commonly accepted that the lithographic and etch effects should be modeled and corrected in a sequential and staged way: a resist (or lithographic) model should be created and used for lithographic effect compensation, and an etch model should be created and used for etch effect compensation. However, there can be various degrees of separation of these two modeling stages. In order to optimally capture the significant variation in the post-development resist patterns and post-etching patterns, it is helpful to integrate these two processes together for the OPC model calibration practice. In this paper, we analyze the integrated simulation approach in OPC modeling where the entire resist model information is made fully accessible in the etch modeling stage to allow the possibility of resist and etch co-optimization, e.g. through adjusting the resist model to optimally fit the etch data. Furthermore, the integrated simulation technique is integrated into a verification flow to simplify the conventional staged flow.
Experimental validation of rigorous, 3D profile models for negative-tone develop resists(Paper 9052-11)Tuesday, February 25: 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm

Abstract: The extension of 193nm immersion lithography to the 14nm node and beyond directly encounters a significant reduction in image quality. One of the consequences is that the resist profile varies noticeably, impacting the already limited process window. Resist top-loss, top-rounding, T-top and footing all play vital roles in the subsequent etch process. Therefore, a reliable rigorous model with the capability to correctly predict resist 3D (R3D) profiles is acquiring higher importance. In this paper, we will present a calibrated rigorous model of a negative-tone develop resist. Resist profiles can be well simulated through focus and dose, and good matches to the experimental wafer data are validated. Such a model can not only provide early investigation of insights into process limitation and optimization, but can also complement existing OPC models to become R3D-aware in process development.
Improving 3D resist profile compact modeling by exploiting 3D resist physical mechanisms(Paper 9052-32)Wednesday, February 26, 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm
Authors: Yongfa Fan, Synopsys, Inc. (USA); Cheng-En R. Wu, Synopsys Taiwan Ltd. (Taiwan); Hua Song, Synopsys, Inc. (USA); Thomas Schmoeller, Synopsys GmbH (Germany)
Abstract: The useful depth of focus has become comparable to the resist film thickness as the 193nm immersion deep UV lithography technique is pushed to its resolution limit, with a consequence that the resist profiles may deviate from ideality. In some weak image areas, serious resist top loss or footing often occur, which, in turn, can result in killing defects in the subsequent etch processes. Since conventional 2D OPC modeling does not handle 3D resist profile, the phenomenon and practical needs have spurred extensive research activities in the past few years to simulate 3D resist profiles with compact models for full-chip OPC applications. The reported approaches more or less borrow the physical mechanisms in rigorous optical lithography models which include 3D resist profile simulation but runs too slow for full-chip applications. A simple approach is to build individual 2D models at different image depths either based on actual wafer measurement data or virtual simulation data by an already calibrated rigorous lithography model. Application of any of the individual 2D models to downstream OPC/LRC tools is straightforward. However, the relevant image depths need be determined in advance due to the discontinuity nature of the methodology itself. The physical commonality among the individual 2D models may deviate from each other as well during the separate calibration processes. A second approach assumes that the 3D resist profile formation is dominated by optical image variation across the resist film thickness while resist material properties specific to height position are ignored. Despite its simplicity, it's prediction on 3D resist profile may be inaccurate when resist materials property is not uniform, especially when surface effects are not negligible. The aforementioned drawbacks were addressed in this work by adopting more physical simulation mechanisms from rigorous simulation methodologies while keeping the model form compact for full-chip applications. To that end, the bulk image is calculated by using one set of retained Hopkins kernels. Optical intensity can be assessed at any image depth without accuracy compromise. With an accurate bulk image, a simplified model for chemically amplified resist is used to simulate resist behavior. The resist models contains acid generation, acid-base neutralization, lateral and vertical diffusion. Boundary conditions at the resist interface used to account for surface effects. The model is formulated in a continuous form so that a model slice at any image depth is readily available to use after calibration. While the calibration data is collected with discrete image planes, all planes are calibrated simultaneously using one set of resist parameters to guarantee physical commonality among them. Moreover, the calibration is done stepwise carefully to ensure the optical part to account for optical effects and resist model to account for resist effects. The calibrated model is compared against the rigorous model, showing that critical resist profile failures can be successfully predicted. In addition to regular model validation process, a measure of resist model separability is used to judge resist model quality. It is shown that the resist model can be carried to a different lithography process with same resist setup but a different illumination source without model noticeable accuracy degradation. The work shows that the accuracy of compact 3D resist models is improved by adopting more physical resist mechanisms.
Numerical analysis for resist profile after thermal process in display manufacturing(Paper 9051-63)Wednesday, February 26, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm Poster Session

Abstract: The screen size growth of mobile displays is accompanied with the drastically increased resolution. A display should have high pixel resolution to meet demanding readability and legibility expectations. One of the important process steps is post-development hardbake, where resist reflow is used to tune the final profile which influences follow-up processes. The model presented in this paper is based on lattice-Boltzmann method. Simulated resist profile dynamics with time is analyzed in dependency of material parameters. Validation against experimental data shows good model consistency and predictability, demonstrating the benefit of simulation in process development and optimization.

Legal Transcription Services
Everyone who works in the legal field knows how important transcriptions are. Accuracy matters and small mistakes can lead to major problems down the road. Unfortunately, the cost of transcriptions can be high, and some are forced to rely on substandard services that take too long and lack the necessary accuracy.
Fortunately, the Internet has led to better options for those seeking legal transcription services, and there is no longer a need to deal with the high costs and frustration of traditional services. ANP Transcriptions offer a suite of services for those who need their legal transcriptions done in an accurate, timely manner.
When are Legal Transcriptions Needed?
Court tapes in some areas may only be available in audio format. By having them translated, legal teams can heave a means to search for specific information. Depositions often need to be translated, and using a professional transcriber can lead to better accuracy and proper formatting. Witness interviews are typically recorded; ANP Transcriptions can provide timely transcriptions for audio involving more than one person.
Internal Use
In many ways, the legal field is based on communication. Internal discussions are often most effective when they can be stored in text format, so many legal teams rely on them for internal use. Communication with others can often be best served using transcribed material, which is easy to access and send to others. In many ways, the legal field still revolves around text, and being able to read information instead of type it can save a significant amount of time.
While court proceedings are conducted in English, not everyone who interacts with the court system has a firm grasp on the language, and translations are sometimes needed. Often, however, professional translations can be prohibitively expensive. ANP Transcription provides translation services from and to Spanish, which help you deal with clients who can best express themselves using Spanish.
When it comes to legal transcription services, time matters. Those who need transcription services as quickly as possible, however, often find themselves unable to find a transcriber with an open schedule. ANP Transcription lets you indicate if you need an order quickly and offers one- and two-day turnaround. When it comes to transcriptions, don't settle for mediocrity or deal with exorbitant prices. Take advantage of the power of the Internet and contact ANP Transcription.

From my dim & distant past I recall an issue connecting Lucent(Ascend)
Max & Pipelines to Cisco. I believe it is related to the way that
Cisco handles PAP & CHAP authentication which would produce the
results you have - connect, fail authentication, drop call. There was
a tech note on the Lucent website which gives the setup on both sides
to make this work, which it does - I've seen it work. Unfortunately it
is no longer freely accessible - requires support contract to register
so I suggest you talk to your local Lucent office or re-seller to get
the info.
Hope this helps.
