The invention relates generally to the field of product identification methods and features. In particular, the invention relates to laser marking of electronic packaging and other surfaces.
IC (integrated circuit) packages are often marked for identification. Commonly the marks are placed on metallic surfaces of an integral heat spreader (IHS) assembled with or as a part of the IC package. The marks may be human readable, machine readable, or both, and are frequently used for tracking products throughout manufacturing. Typically however, if there is insufficient contrast between the character and/or features of a mark and the background of the surface upon which the mark has been formed, the readability of the mark is diminished.
Generally, the surfaces of integral heat spreaders are populated by small topographical features including scratches, pits, ridges and other such elevated features and/or depressions. These features may be clearly seen only by using a magnifying device, and to may be referred to as 'microtopographical' features. Although small, they tend to reflect and scatter light in a multitude of angles, presenting a 'cluttered' visual background for marks formed at a surface having such microtopographical features. As a result, marks so disposed are sometimes difficult to read and recognize, particularly for automated optoelectronic imaging systems as may be used in a high volume manufacturing environment.
The inability to accurately and reliably read identification marks or other marks on an IC package can interfere with manufacturing processes, product traceability, detection of product tampering, theft recovery, product authenticity confirmation, automated handling, inventory management, and numerous other operations throughout the lifetime of an IC device.
Described herein is a method for forming, and various aspects of, a high resolution mark formed at a surface of a metallic substrate. A high resolution mark as described herein facilitates more reliable readability by an optoelectronic imaging system, as well as by the human eye. Throughout this description, various examples of a substrate as an integral heat spreader (IHS) are described. The reader should not interpret these examples in a limiting sense. It simply is not practical to provide in this description an exhaustive list encompassing the full range of substrates that can be marked as described herein.
Typically disposed between the IC device 103 and the lower surface 112 of the IHS 101 is some type of thermally conductive material 104, generally known as a thermal interface material (TIM). The TIM conducts thermal energy (heat) away from an IC device 103 and conveys it to an IHS 101 to help cool the IC device 103. Examples of commonly used thermal interface materials 104 include thermal grease, thermal gaskets, and solder preforms (STIM), although numerous other materials and configurations can also be used to meet the same purpose with varying degrees of efficiency. A TIM 104 works best when it maintains intimate contact with a large surface area of the IHS 101 and a large surface of the IC device 103. Voids formed by gases trapped between the TIM 104 and either the IHS 101 or the IC device 103 reduce the thermal transfer efficiency of an IC/TIM/IHS assembly.
An IHS 101 typically also has an upper surface 110 forming a plane that is approximately parallel with a plane of a lower opposing surface 112 of the IHS 101, and approximately parallel with a plane of the substrate surface 107 when coupled with a substrate as in normal use. However, rather than facing toward the substrate surface 107, the upper surface 110 faces away from the substrate surface 107. To further conduct heat away from an IC device 103, a lower surface of an active or passive cooling device is typically disposed proximate to and opposing the upper surface 110 of the IHS 101, and another TIM is disposed between and in thermally conductive contact these two surfaces. Examples of passive cooling devices include heat sinks, while examples of active cooling devices include fan heat sinks, refrigeration devices, multi-phase cooling devices, and Peltier thermoelectric cooling devices, although the embodiments are not so limited. The package 100 as shown can represent a starting condition of the example package 100 upon which an embodiment of the method described herein is practiced to form a high contrast mark on a substrate.
A package 100 can include any of several types of integrated circuit packages, such as a BGA (ball grid array) package, an LGA (land grid array) package, a PGA (pin grid array) package, or even a package utilizing a lead frame (lead frame package) for external interconnection. Any of the listed packages can be coupled within and form a portion of an electronic system. Examples of an electronic system include a computer system (e.g., mobile, desktop, server), an audio or video entertainment system (e.g., television, video media player, audio media player, satellite or cable signal converter), a system for monitoring or conducting environmental measurements (e.g., atmospheric, hydrologic, seismic, chemical), an industrial manufacturing system (e.g., robotic, analytical), a vehicular monitoring, navigation and/or control system (e.g., navigation, acceleration and deceleration control, emission monitoring and/or control, safety), or other systems that designed to operate via, or rely at least in part on processing, converting, regulating, conditioning, storing, receiving, conveying, detecting, or measuring electrical, optical, or wireless signals, images, impulses, waves, or charges, and/or information so conveyed. For example, an IC package assembly may be coupled with a computer motherboard, which is in turn assembled within a chassis of a computer system. The IC device is typically electrically coupled through the motherboard to peripheral devices, such as a monitor, input/output devices (e.g., keyboard, mouse, camera), as well as to other IC devices configured for similar and/or different purposes. In other computer systems, numerous peripheral devices may be integrated into the computer system chassis, such as the keyboard and monitor of a notebook computer, rather than being discrete but electrically connectable devices.
Therefore, as shown in
The perimeter of a marking area may comprise only a small portion of an upper surface of an IHS, or it may consume a significant portion, up to and including the entire upper surface area of the IHS. Likewise, any other surface of an IHS can also be marked according to embodiments of the invention, and a perimeter of a marking area on a surface other than the upper surface of an IHS can marked in the same way as an upper surface. In individual situations, a perimeter of a marking area is generally limited by the extent of the surface area upon with the marking area is to be formed, however, a marking area can extend across two or more adjacent surfaces as well.
As shown in
For example, some representative laser parameters can be configured as follows for a first laser operation:
Pulse Rate; approximately 7000-9000 pulses per second
Laser Power; approximately 4-6 watts
Pulse Overlap; approximately 10%-25%
Mark (Scan) Speed; approximately 10-14 inches per second
As would be recognized by one having ordinary skill in the art, these parameters may be configured differently for substrate materials other than a nickel-plated copper IHS. Other substrate materials may have either higher or lower melting temperatures, allowing configuration of one or more of these parameters outside the ranges listed here, either higher or lower than, the ranges listed here.
The exact equipment, parameter settings, materials, and other factors involved cannot be predicted and described here for each potential embodiment of a first laser operation. Practitioners of the described embodiments, as well as of those reasonably implied by the provided descriptions, have numerous substrate materials, laser equipment manufacturers and tool models, and other variables from which to choose. Rather, the scope and exact nature of the various sub-operations comprising configuring a first laser operation is largely defined by the result, and includes all actions reasonably necessary in each potential practitioner's individual situation to attain the end result of a first laser operation, as described below.
The molten metal then resolidifies, forming a relatively smoother and more reflective surface in the laser scanned portions of the marking area 317 than at the surface 312 outside the perimeter of the marking area 317. Scanning continues, as in
By contrast, a similar beam of light 440 directed at the IHS surface 412 outside the perimeter 411 of the marking area 417 produces scattered light 441. This scattering is caused by the light striking the numerous angled surfaces of the elevated features and depressions at the portion of the IHS surface 412, which were not affected during the first laser operation, and reflecting away from the surface at a multitude of angles. As a result, the amount of light reflecting away at an approximately equal and opposite angle to that at which it arrived at the surface is greatly diminished. Therefore, following the first laser operation, the surface 417 of the IHS 401 within the marking area is described as having a greater reflectivity, relative to the portions of the substrate surface 312 outside the marking area.
Following the first laser operation, as shown in
As described with regard to a first laser operation, configuring for a second laser operation can include numerous and different sub-operations, each sub-operation including various parameter settings or actions specific to a particular substrate material, laser type, equipment setup, and other variables too numerous to list here. For example, an exemplary embodiment includes using a 1064 nm (nanometer) IR (infrared) range thermal, pulsed, Q-switched Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped, yttrium aluminum garnet) laser configured for relatively higher-power scanning to form a mark at a surface of a nickel-plated, copper IHS. Other lasers, utilizing yttrium lithium fluoride or yttrium vanadate will likely also work for disposing a mark at other substrate surfaces. Likewise, other transition wavelengths than 1064 nm (e.g., 940 nm, 1120 nm, 1320 nm) can provide good results in certain situations. Various operational parameters of a Nd:YAG laser are likely to be different than those used with another type of laser, although a different laser and a Nd:YAG laser may both be capable of forming a mark into a marking area of an IHS. An example of configuring for a second laser operation could include selecting a laser engraving mode from a menu of functional options, or setting one or more parameters of a laser to an operational condition that corresponds to an engraving mode appropriate for the type of substrate material that will be marked. Different substrate materials will ablate at different laser powers, so a primary determinant for various laser types and operational settings is the ability for the laser to ablate the substrate material and form a mark at the material surface. The settings to use for any particular combination of laser type and substrate material can be determined through relatively routine experimentation by someone of ordinary skill in the art, and as informed by this description.
For example, some representative laser parameters for engraving a nickel-plated copper IHS can be configured as follows for a second laser operation:
Pulse Rate; approximately 5000-6000 pulses per second
Laser Power; approximately 9-12 watts
Pulse Overlap; approximately 10%-25%
Mark (Scan) Speed; approximately 10-14 inches per second
As would be recognized by one having ordinary skill in the art, these parameters may be configured differently for engraving a mark in materials other than a nickel-plated copper IHS, as other material may be ablated or otherwise marked when one or more of these parameters are configured outside, either higher or lower than, the ranges listed here.
Referring to
A 'readable' mark may be human readable or machine readable. A mark may be human readable and include alphabetic 631 and/or numeric 632 characters, as shown in
The individual characters or features of a mark can be formed to have a white or nearly white appearance, providing good contrast relative to a shiny marking area of a substrate. In alternate embodiments, it is also possible to form characters or features of a mark having a color other than white. Numerous materials react when exposed to heat (thermally reactive materials) by changing color, or changing from transparent to colored. These materials, or other materials already possessing a color, may bond with a substrate surface when disposed at the surface and heated to or above an activation temperature. Some materials, when combined with certain other materials, react and form another material have a different color than any of the materials that were combined. Materials may retain their color following heating, or as described, may react by presenting a different color. For clarity herein, such materials are simply called 'thermally reactive materials', and a 'different color' can also include simply changing to a different hue or shade of the same general color. Disposing a thermally reactive material or combination of materials at or near a substrate surface during or prior to a second laser operation, then performing the second laser operation so that the thermally reactive material is affected by the laser, imbues a mark with color.
A marking area and a mark can be formed at a surface of an IHS either prior to or after coupling the IHS with a substrate of an IC device package. For example, a marking area can be formed prior to assembly of an IC package, while a mark is formed at the marking area following package assembly. Likewise, a marking area and some marks or some portions of a mark can be formed prior to assembly, while other marks or portions of a mark can be formed following assembly. Alternatively, at least one of a plurality of marking areas can be formed prior to package assembly, while at least another of the plurality is formed following assembly. Of course, in the case of a plurality of marking areas, all of the plurality can likewise be formed either prior to or following package assembly. In some situations, an IC device is coupled with an IHS prior to package assembly, and marking areas and marks can be formed either prior to or following coupling of the IHS and the IC device, and prior to package assembly. The method for forming a mark can also influence the sequence of when the mark is formed relative to when the package is assembled. For example, in alternate embodiments, a mark can be formed at a laser polished marking area by chemically etching the marking area surface, or by mechanically engraving the mark into the surface. Chemicals used to etch the substrate surface may not be compatible with other package materials, so it may be advantageous in such situations to etch the mark into an IHS surface prior to assembling the package. Alternatively, a mark may be formed by stamping the mark into a substrate surface using an amount of force that could damage an IC device. In this situation, the risk of damage to an IC device also indicates that a mark would generally be formed prior to assembling an IC device with the IHS.
A metallic surface, such as that of an IHS, can comprise nickel, as nickel-plated copper integral heat spreaders are common. However, numerous other metallic material, particularly noble metals, may be used to plate IHS surfaces, including gold, silver, palladium or platinum. Other metallic substrate surfaces can likewise include tin, aluminum, copper, stainless steel, or other thermally conductive metals. Each material has a characteristic melting temperature which can influence the configuration of at least one of the first and/or second laser operation. It should, however, be clearly understood from the description provided herein that embodiments of the invention are not limited to a surface of an IHS. Alternative embodiments could similarly include most surfaces and materials that are or could be configured to be responsive to a laser operation to form a marking area, and to likewise be responsive to another laser operation to form features of a mark. Such materials may include thermoplastic materials, non-crystalline (e.g., amorphous) materials, ceramic materials, or others. Therefore, the use of an IHS in exemplary embodiments herein is not to be construed as a limitation of the potential and embodiments.
Therefore, as depicted in
The assembly 800 also includes a mark 831, including features having a nominal depth below the nominal plane of the reflective portion 817. Although the actual depth of each feature of a mark 831 may vary, a nominal depth of the mark 831 can include an average depth of the features, or a designed depth, or could reside anywhere between the minimum and the maximum depth of any or all of the features of the mark 831. The mark 831 could include, as already described, human and/or machine readable features, which could be alpha-numeric, could represent alpha-numeric, or could otherwise have an acquired significance that is apparent when sufficiently resolved against a high contrast background surface and recognized by a reader. A mark 831 that is machine readable is, in an embodiment, readable by an optoelectronic imaging system.
As previously described herein, an assembly 800 could include any of numerous types of integrated circuit packages (e.g., BGA, LGA, PGA), and could comprise a portion of an electronic device, for example a computer system.
In the above description, numerous specific details are set forth such as examples of specific materials or components in order to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that these specific details need not be employed to practice embodiments of the present invention. In other instances, well known components or methods have not been described in detail in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring embodiments of the present invention.
The terms "on," "above," "below," "between," and "adjacent" as used herein refer to a relative position of, for example, one layer or element with respect to other layers or elements. As such, a first element disposed on, above or below another element may be directly in contact with the first element or may have one or more intervening elements. Moreover, one element disposed next to or adjacent to another element may be directly in contact with the first element or may have one or more intervening elements.
Any reference in the specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the claimed subject matter. The appearances of the phrase, "in one embodiment" in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. References herein to an 'aspect', 'alternative', 'option', or a similar term may also represent a separate embodiment including at least one unique feature, structure, or characteristic.
The foregoing detailed description and accompanying drawings are only illustrative and not restrictive. They have been provided primarily for a clear and comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of the invention, and no unnecessary limitations are to be understood therefrom. Numerous additions, deletions, and modifications to the embodiments described herein, as well as alternative arrangements, may be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the embodiments and the scope of the appended claims.

French electronic duo Daft Punk shocked the crowd at last night's Phoenix show at New York's Madison Square Garden with a surprise appearance near the end of the band's headlining set.
The duo performed "Harder Better Faster Stronger," and Phoenix eventually joined in on the song, which turned into another well-known Daft track, "Around The World."
Daft Punk then joined Phoenix on a unique version of the band's song "1901."
Phoenix guitarist Laurent Brancowitz was in a short-lived baned named Darlin' with the Daft Punk duo, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, in the early 90s, prior to their much more successful projects.
A music reviewer in the publication Melody Maker once called Darlin' a bunch of "daft punks," which is where the electronic duo got their name.

Gordon outlines priorities to Senate panel
Improving the federal acquisition workforce is at the top of his to-do list, says President Barack Obama's nominee to lead the Office of Federal Procurement Policy.
"We need to focus our attention on developing an acquisition workforce — including contracting officers' technical representatives and program managers, as well as contracting officers and contract specialists — that allows us to meet our mission goals and deliver value to the public," Daniel Gordon, whom Obama nominated to be OFPP's administrator, told senators at his confirmation hearing Nov. 10.
The federal government's spending has increased drastically in recent years. Spending through contracts rose from $205 billion in fiscal 2000 to $539 billion in fiscal 2008, a 163 percent increase. Meanwhile, the number of contracting officers, the core of the acquisition workforce, hasn't kept pace. In 2000, the government had 26,751 contracting officers and the number had grown to only 29,707 by 2008, a 9 percent rise.
With a strong acquisition workforce, Gordon said he could more readily achieve his other objectives.
Gordon told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that he wants to find ways to save money and reduce risk in the government's contracts. He said he wants to improve the government's procurement planning.
"Too often, pressure to move forward quickly comes at the expense of good acquisition planning," said Gordon, who has been acting general counsel at the Government Accountability Office since 2006.
Agencies also need to manage contracts better after awarding them, Gordon said. "As stewards of the taxpayers, we must make sure those who contract with the government are delivering what they promised, in terms of price, schedule, and performance," he said.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.), the committee's chairman, said the OFPP administrator is one of the most broadly supported and non-controversial nominations that the Senate considers. He said he will try to get the nomination through the committee and the Senate quickly.

Rachel Alexander on Stand Trying Desperately to Keep Ticket To "Practice" Law Intact
Rachel Alexander, one of former Maricopa County Attorney Andy Thomas' key insiders during his six years in office, is on the stand trying to explain how she got put "in charge" of an ill-conceived and politically motivated civil racketeering case against county supervisors, judges, and others.
The way Alexander describes it, Andy Thomas asked her in December 2009 to assume the helm of the infamous and eventually abandoned RICO case in which Thomas and Sheriff Joe Arpaio sued, among others, members of the other two branches of the county government (including elected officials), a law firm, and two county administrators.
Thomas/Arpaio claimed in the suit (which allegedly was written by Lisa Aubuchon) that the "defendants" had engaged in bribery, extortion, obstruction of justice, and other wrongdoing.
It happened a few days after Thomas and Arpaio announced that they were bringing felony criminal charges against then-presiding county criminal Judge Gary Donahoe (who was one of the civil defendants in the racketeering case). That "bribery" case, as probably everyone who is reading this knows, also never went anywhere.

Alexander--who testified that she never has been the first or second-chair in any litigation during her 11 years as a licensed attorney--said she thought she would be getting legal assistance from inside and outside her office.
But the outside help never materialized, she said, because those private attorneys were "terrified of the [county] supervisors...A lot of people were kind of nervous to be associated with things like that."
But Alexander had no such qualms about going against the evildoers who supposedly were trying to bring her boss (Thomas) and his boss (Arpaio) down.
The phrase "lack of a moral compass" comes to mind.
Here is a pretty comprehensive story from February 2010 by our old (as in former, not age) colleague Sarah Fenske that gets into the nuts-and-bolts of the RICO case and the Alexander "situation."

What advice would you give someone starting this project? The rows aren't sewn together and it's on a lumpy surface, but this is the general look of it. It will have a green inner border and a paisley border. It should end up about 70 by 94, which will probably shrink 5 or 6 inches, so it'll still be a roomy lap quilt. It would either need a very eclectic person, or a very neutral room. The borders and the quilting will hopefully tone it down.
How wide are your sashing strips?
They are 2 1/2 inches. I think Amy used narrower ones on hers.
Yowza! Your sashing really makes all your great work stand out! Well done on the whole thing!
Thank you, it's fun to see it coming together.
AGHH! Do you really think it will shrink that much?
That looks really, really good! I still have a few blocks to make to get caught up. I need to post pictures of the last several that I've finished.
thank you. I'm looking forward to seeing them, love seeing everyone's blocks.
I lov e your fabric choices and the way they settle i n to the lavender! and I envy people who are creative with color choice- the blue is not what I would though of for the sashing- but it is perfect!
Thank you. I struggle with color. I guess that's why my favorite is scrappy kitchen sink type quilts.
Just gorgeous!!!
Thank you very much.

And scrum-half Mike Phillips also hopes to take part in Sydney having been rested on Saturday with a knee problem.
Phillips was a surprise omission from Saturday's squad having declared himself fit, but team coaches decided it would be best to rest him.
Roberts, the Wales centre, has yet to play in the Test series because of a hamstring problem, while England prop Corbisiero suffered a calf injury in the opener at Suncorp Stadium.
"There are a few boys training tomorrow and they will go hard. The rest of the squad have a couple of days off and we'll train on Wednesday and Thursday," assistant coach Andy Farrell said. "People like Alex Corbisiero and Jamie Roberts will go hard tomorrow and hopefully be right for full training on Wednesday."
Hulking Welshman Phillips played in the opener in Brisbane which the Lions edged 23-21.
Backs coach Rob Howley told reporters before the match that the coaches had decided that, while available, Phillips had been rested because of a knee injury he sustained in the tour opener against the Barbarians in Hong Kong.
"When Rob Howley told me I hadn't been selected for the second test it was absolutely devastating news. My heart sank and I had a weird feeling in my stomach," Phillips told the Mail on Sunday newspaper.
"Rob said the coaches had taken the decision to rest me from Saturday's game because of my knee, but I'm a proud man and I still felt I could have done a job for the team."
The Lions have been installed as marginal favourites to win the third and final Test at ANZ Stadium, but the momentum is with Australia following their dramatic victory in Melbourne.
"The reality is that it's 1-1 after two good teams have gone at it hammer and tongs. We're both still in the race," Farrell said.
"I'm proud of the way we stuck at it. We were lucky to get away with a win in the first game and in the second game we could have won. After those two games 1-1 is a fair way to look at the series.
"We've come to Noosa for a couple of days off and we'll lick our wounds and get back to what we have to do on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. We all realise it's the biggest game of our lives and we'll see what comes of it.
"I wouldn't say Australia are in the driving seat. I'd say they're very pleased - it was a do or die situation for them and they rose to the challenge. It was a one-point game that could have gone either way and both teams will be confident about next week."
The Lions could have snatched victory with the last kick of the game only for Leigh Halfpenny, who has been in magnificent form with the boot all tour, to fall short with his long-range attempt.
"Leigh's a perfectionist and is a little bit hurt, but if that kick had gone over it would have been a miracle because it was a hell of a long way out," Farrell said. "He asks a lot of himself and the way he has been kicking he'd have expected it to go over. He had an excellent kicking game again."
Phillips, who started all three test on the last Lions tour to South Africa, had a brilliant match in Hong Kong which probably sealed his place in the team for the first test.
Unfortunately for a player whose physicality is a key part of his game, he also sustained the injury to his knee and he has been under management by the medical team ever since.
"It twisted and I felt something go and since then I've just been trying to get it to settle down." Phillips said.
"Initially it swelled up like a balloon on the flight from Hong Kong and I'm sure the medical guys thought, 'this isn't good', and that they would have to send me home.
"It was pretty scary at the start. I think everyone feared the worst but I was determined to stay on the tour and worked really hard to make sure I stayed part of it."
While Phillips admits he is not 100 hundred percent fit, he maintains he could still play a major role in helping the Lions to their first series triumph since 1997.
That remains a possibility after his replacement as starting scrumhalf, England's Ben Youngs, failed to grasp his opportunity, albeit while working with a gameplan that did not play to his strengths as a running halfback.
"I'm desperate to play next week, of course, but whether the coaches make that call is up to them," Phillips added.
"I don't want people feeling sorry for me or thinking that I'm making excuses. It is what it is. I played in the first test and we won so no one can take that away from me."

Skip to comments.College athletes can unionize, federal agency says
Posted on 03/26/2014 12:33:35 PM PDT by AU72
click here to read article
If enough colleges set up unions for athletes, couldn't they form another organization, a new league, apart from the NCAA? Maybe that's where this will go. A core group of colleges will form a league, and play only each other???
What should the colleges expect? Over the past years they have destroyed rivalries by cutting up conferences to squeeze every last dime out of football. When conference chairmen go on bragging about how much money they got from the last tv deal, don't be surprised if the players that make it possible come knocking on the door for their cut.
The athletes (1) Do have a chance to get an education and college degree, possibly full ride with room, board, tuition, stipends; could be worth some big money over 4 or 5 years. (2) Get a chance for publicity based on their athletic performance, which they would not otherwise have. If they are good, pro-material, this publicity is going to be key to being recruited to the pros.
if the athletes are unionized, seems like it brings a lot of potential for problems and corruption, IMHO.
Wait a minute, if football players can unionize, why can't regular ole students? Can they form fan unions? Where does the democrat party money laundering scheme end?
Does this mean if the Wisconsin football team unionizes that their dues will not automatically be collected since it is a state school and Gov. Walker signed that legislation.
Might come back, be pretty expensive however. Football pays the freight for every other sport. Even baseball does not carry itself in most colleges.
Do you think that companies like EA Sports should be allowed to sell video games which use individual players' likenesses without compensating the athelete for the use of their name, image and biographical data?
"In a stunning ruling that has the potential to revolutionize COMPLETELY KILL college athletics....."
As far as I am concerned, "college athletics" has no place in an institution of higher learning. When I went to UC Berkeley (yeah, I know it's a $hit hole run now by a Communist) we never had a football team that was worth spit, because academic standards at the time eliminated all the morons with size 44 coveralls and size 4 hats. But now Cal's "athletic director" earns a million bucks a year and the school drools over TV revenue and all that ancillary crap that has attached itself to "college athletics." Colleges and Universities should give up being the farm teams for professional sports. You can't get a degree in football and that fact that these morons get to come to a good school, do as little as possible to stay in (with a lot of cheating most likely and "help" from the faculty) and take up space that could and should be occupied by those who are really seeking a post-secondary education.
At the end of the day, all the schools end up as analogs of Penn State. And yet the "beer bellies" will crank up here on FR and trash what I'm saying because to would take away their weekend entertainment. You know, you guys who still think "Joe Pa" was a saint and that Penn State did all that it could to stop the "shower activities" of one of their "coaches," you know one of those guys who "builds character" in our young. Flame Away!
I agree with you. Will they have to be paid overtime for all of their travel/practice/game hours over 40 any weeks? Will they get certain paid holidays when they will not play under any circumstances?
Fine. Let's just drop all college sports.
Wonder if this will affect how the draft works?
Very few college athletes are ever able to go pro and make money off of their athletic skills. The vast majority while they do earn scholarships lose those scholarships if they are injured and can no longer play.
these player's do not even make money when jerseys with their name are sold or when their names and pictures are used on video games.
Both Tim Tebow and Johnny Football lost out on such income opportunity due to current NCAA rules.
How would you feel if people were selling a jersey with your name or producing a video game with you image and you were paid nothing?
And football will STILL pay the freight for the other sports. I doubt anybody will be making millions to play college football, but they will be able to make some pocket change, which is currently against the rules.
And the colleges have the right to cancel the football programs.
Stupid jocks.
The situation couldn't be anymore corrupt than it already is. At this point NCAA trophies are loaners, teams are constantly under investigation, wins (including championships) are constantly being vacated, not to mention down stream suspensions that effect the next generation of player because the NCAA can't seem to finish an investigation in under 4 years. Everybody is on the take, they're just hoping not to get noticed. If the NCAA actually ALLOWED compensation for the players half this would go away. There's no logical reason to not allow players to sell autographed memorabilia, or get stipends, let it happen above board instead of forcing it under the table.
Federal agency ? Yeah right
Well, they already do. I've been close to a couple of those situations. There is a parade of people going to the house.
No big time college football program is going to cancel football.
D1 football players receive money and a lot of other things within the rules. The things they actually are allowed to receive and do is never made public. Just the continual tear jerk stories. A few years ago a VT senior on the football team wrote a good article about it. They get a lot more than I ever thought. Since that article they get more.
I hope you have not mistaken me for one of those "beer bellies." I could give a rats ass less about college sports as a spectator. If it is on, and it is a team that I like, I might or might not watch it. Typically, I am too busy doing shit to sit and watch sports in the middle of the day on a Saturday, or Sunday for that matter.
Where you and I disagree, is that I believe college athletics are good in higher education. They make for great sports trainers, they teach teamwork, they teach hard work, they instill healthy living, so to me, they have a place.
I don't think that they need to be the beginning and end of the entire damn campus (as many are), but they have some good qualities as well.
Hell, two of my daughters are going to junior colleges which do not have ANY sports and one is going to start at Abilene Christian University next fall - sports is an after thought at that school.
Bye bye NCAA, you deserve what you get.
No they don't receive money, NCAA doesn't even allow athletic scholarship to include stipends. Anything they're receiving is under the table or otherwise carefully constructed.
I am with you 100% on that! Well said.
Do they get overtime pay for weekend games? How about games on national holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years?
I have a solution for these geniuses.
Tax tuition, lodging, food, books, etc., etc., at all levels, Local, State and Federal.
If it's union, it needs to follow all the rules. Handicapped must be given equal opportunities to play; women cannot be excluded from men's leagues; and no matter how badly you play, you cannot be fired.
First, 80% of the football players at D1 schools do not meet accademic standards for the schools. They are there by design to play football, not earn a degree.
Second, since they are not academically qualified, they are taking up spaces in the school that could but used by real students.
No, they're predominantly white.
Northwestern has a national student body. The ex-player who led this unionization thing is from Denver,CO.
But real students don't bring in millions of dollars of revenue. The athletes aren't taking up space, they're funding parts of the school.
...and don't forget discrimination charges for lack of playing time
How many football programs bring big money to their schools?
The last answer I saw to that question is around 50.
The remainder lose money.
Pretty much everybody in div 1:
Especially the ones in the major conferences.
Academic qualifications for college consists of SAT scores, ACT scores, GPA and class rank, not how long it takes to graduate or the type of job obtained after graduation.
Can you name one big time college football coach that was fired due to low graduation rates?
So, so long as they succeeded in high school, you could give a rat's ass if they actually succeed in college. Good to know that you care so little for those who are spending money, they don't have, on their hopes and dreams.
I kind of think that we should be putting those who will actually succeed in a college environment into college, not kicking out athletes because you think they are stupid and shouldn't be in college.
Can you name one entry-level, burger flipper with a college degree that can actually make their college loan payment on their wages?
That data is three years old.
Texas, Michigan, Ohio State make money, but smaller schools do not make money.
And the big time schools in the major conferences make money as the networks pay to broadcast a Michigan, ND or Texas game but do not pay big money to broadcast an Iowa State game.
However, Texas shares money earned with schools like Iowa State.
The data is scattered, but all of it says that most div1 football programs, especially those in the big conferences, turn a profit. It also shows college athletics as a whole tend to turn a profit (remember they also have basketball, which not only has massive revenue but it dirt cheap to put out there).
Sorry but athletes bring money to the schools.
".... a system where everybody but the athletes make money on what the athletes do,"
Attending Northwestern (where this case arose) costs $50K+/year. The athletes' scholarships wipe out that cost. Only the very best athletes (top 1%) ever go on to the pros in any sport. But their educations, if they actually pay attention to that part, stay with them for life.
Some colleges make money off of football and those that do should survive and at least pay players for the jerseys they sell with their name.
But they're not even allowed to sell their autograph (though the school and NCAA can). And students on academic scholarships get stipends which the NCAA won't allow.
The simple fact is they're getting screwed. People getting screwed have an unfortunate habit of forming unions.
Tell truth, if you put more science labs and business (real business) courses and eliminated the athletics, prices for schools would go way down and there would be no new need for millions, with which to build football stadiums. Schools are supposed to be about studying, but now it's all wrapped up in athletics.
Those schools only make money by furniture of there being in the same conferences as Texas, Michigan, Ohio State,Florida LSU, USC, Oregon, Georgia, Alabama, etc.
Abolish the conferences and the schools are now subsidized by the big schools Will be out of the football business.
The big programs are going to break away and start their own league, I believe.
They will be canceling every other sport.
And girls—no NCAA, no Title IX. Say good bye to women's hockey, etc.
They make money. The whys and wherefores don't matter. They make money, thus proving you were wrong when you said most of them don't make money.
That is exactly what the big programs and the TV networks want.
32 schools, big games on TV every week and no time wasted watching Alabama play South East Mississippi State School for the Left- Handed Dyslexic.

This is a wonderful place to stay. The room we had was terrifically appointed and had anything we would want in it. The location is very good inside Liberty. The morning breakfast was terrific and plentiful. Good coffee available early -a plus. Carolyn and Steve were really good hosts and a fund of information about local options. A really good place to stay - especially for a special location.

My wife and I have visited numerous Inns around the country and can assure you this one is top notch. Carolyn and Steve were great hosts. Genuinely concerned about our stay. The entire place was spotless, inside and out. Our room, The Withers, was huge and so nicely decorated. King bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was outstanding both mornings. Very different both days. The Hatcher's seemed know the Liberty and Kansas city area well and had some good input on where to visit and dine. Don't hesitate to give this one a try, you won't be disappointed.

We truly enjoyed our stay in the Withers Room to celebrate our 3rd year Anniversary. The spacious and beautifully decorated room gave us time to relax and enjoy our time together. We were pampered by all the amenities that make one feel truly welcome! We enjoyed our delicious breakfast and were captivated by listening to our host share the history of her B&B. It is clear that they love to make each stay a memorable one. Thank you Carolyn and Steve! We were very pleased with our stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Carolyn and Steve welcomed us immediately upon arrival. They are such gracious hosts...we felt like we walked into a family member's home. The accommodations were spectacularly restored and still had some of the modern touches discretely available. Carolyn tailored made our breakfast to suit my husband's taste as well as allowing our son who attends William Jewell College to dine with us. Cannot wait to go back, Rob & Kelly Glen Carbon IL

We had an excellent stay at the Stone-Yancey house. We are from south KC, so it was quick drive. The stay was pleasant, accommodations were great and the food was FANTASTIC! Would highly recommend for KC dwellers looking for a weekend getaway.

We are a military couple, and have stayed in B&Bs throughout the world. The Stone-Yancey House is the best -- Steve and Carolyn are superb hosts, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you are in the Kansas City area, it is a destination in itself.

It was a wonderful time. My husband was apprehensive about Bed and Breakfast as he doesn't like staying in other people's homes. But he relaxed fairly quickly and enjoyed his time.
5 on November 18, 2013
I had a wonderful 2 night stay at the Stone-Yanc3y House. The owners are very cordial and personable folks. The home was immaculately clean. There have been several that I have stayed at that could have used a good dusting. That was not the case here. The room was very comfortable and the décor was beautiful and correct for the time period of the home. The first night when I came back in for the night, my bed had been turned down for me. The breakfasts were fit for a queen and presented beautifully. I definitely will return to this lovely B&B.

I am using Codex's Adding Aside to add Asides to my site.
The main content suppose to show 7 posts ( as per Options ) but once I add a new post to the Asides category, the main content drops to 6 posts. so if i have 7 new posts to my Asides category, I won't have anything on my main content.
Is there a way such that the main Loop doesn't consider the number of posts in the Asides category? I thought putting
<?php rewind_posts(); ?> before the Loop in my sidebar will solve this.
Please advise. thank you.

Area Info
Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the U.S., bordering the Pacific Ocean on the west, Washington on the north, Idaho on the east, and California and Nevada on the south. The Columbia and Snake Rivers form, respectively, much of its northern and eastern borders. Between two mountain ranges in western Oregon—the Pacific Coast Range and the Cascade Mountain Range—lies the Willamette Valley, the most densely populated and agriculturally productive region of the state.
Oregon has one of the most diverse landscapes of any state in the U.S.; beaches, mountains, and rivers are all within a few hours of each other. It is well known for its tall, dense forests, accessible and scenic Pacific coastline, and its rugged, glaciated Cascade volcanoes. Other areas include semiarid scrub lands, prairies, and deserts that cover approximately half the state in eastern and north-central Oregon.
On the culture front, there's the Portland Opera, Oregon Symphony and a large amount of music and art festivals. The rising wine region and beautiful woodlands, in addition to lack of sales tax, make Oregon a great place to retire.

Anne PapinaShared publicly -
#recipe #NationalGrilledCheeseMonth #bacon #jam #avocado #grilled #cheese #fried #egg
While working in the tech industry, an opportunity arose to combine two of Anne's passions (tech and food). This was long before blogging, before the term "social networking" came into play, and truly, before most people had even heard about "the Web." Webicurean was created for a service called CompuServe. It was around 1996/97 that Webicurean began as part of the Internet Fun Forum, and eventually as a featured column on CompuServe's main menu. In those early years, Webicurean's goal was not only to write about food, but to curate the best that the fledgling Web had to offer. Topics ranged from chili cookoffs to buying fish online, and in addition to bringing you the best related sites, a story would unfold.
Fast forward to 2012, and much has changed. As it turns out, hundreds of recipes had been posted on Webicurean.com over the years. Many have already been converted into the new blog format, and the remaining will be added over time. Eventually we plan to retest each recipe, and post with mouth watering pictures. Beyond that, Anne will feature family recipes, passed down for generations, as well as other recipes from some of her favorite sources, both old and new. She especially loves vintage cookbooks and hopes to give some forgotten recipes a breath of new life. Along the way a little history and the stories that make these recipes special will be told.
In addition to writing about food, Anne has written on other topics, including most recently a book about Nicasio, California as part of Arcadia Publishing's "Images of America" series of pictorial histories. This book features vintage photographs from local archives and personal collections, recounting tales of the Coast Miwok and early settlers of the mid 1800s up through current times. She was also a panelist at Vircomm 2001, co-authored "Love, Lies and the Internet" in 1996 with Steve Syrmopoulos, and was a columnist for "The Paper" — penning a bi-monthly technology column and Web site reviews, with a focus on Northern California and coastal community news, events, and businesses.

Wearing MBT Shoes for the first time? Watch the MBT Shoes Instructional Video
The MBT Index simplifies the process of finding the right level of MBT shoe for your needs. It ranks MBT into one of three categories, starting at Activate, our least level of rock, and progressing through Dynamic and ending with our highest level of rock, Performance.
Great fit. Great shoe. I'd buy again in a second.
This is actually my third pair of this style - the first pair came apart at the sole within 6 weeks. They were replaced free of charge and lasted about a year. Just started wearing my third pair. I have other styles but find these the most comfortable.
Shoes are pretty much as pictured. Nothing fancy, really casually casual. So far waterproof has stood up. They are a larger profile than other MBTs I own.
I ordered these online, at the same time as another pair. One pair came within a week. These took forever. They were on backorder and I did not get any notification from footwear, we had to call to see what was going on. So be sure to check availability when you order.

"One of my friends was wearing a pair of Ecco pearl slip-ons that I really liked. She and I share the same foot size and width so she slipped them off and let me wear them. They were so comfortable and looked great, so I thought I would order a pair of my own. She asked for a pair of my loafers and put them on saying I could wear the Eccos until I got mine in the mail. When they arrived I gave her the new ones and kept the "loaners" as they felt so wonderful. Ecco surely knows how to make feet say "thank you". These are without a doubt the most comfortable and stylish loafers I have ever owned! I just love the cute little heel that sets them apart from everyday run of the mill loafers. I only wish they were available in other colors as I would love to have more of them. I have had many questions about them along with many wonderful compliments . Many men have stated they thought they were very "cute" and I really looked good in them!"

I had the pleasure of getting a manicure and my daughter received a pedicure by Sonya last week. Sonya did a fantastic job. Sonya has a fantastic personality and it was a pleasure to spend time at Maximage, which was our first time. We will be back. Thank you.
By Deirdre 10/23/2009
I have been going to Maximage for approximately four years. The people at Maximage are wonderful. The salon is beautiful, clean, and the women always make you feel welcome. I have been doing pink and white nails by Donna (who by the way is amazing). I refuse to go anywhere else!! My nails always look beautiful, and, if by chance I accidently break one, they always fit me in to fix it asap. I have also had the best pedicures there (also by Donna) and get my eye brows waxed there as well. They have a full line of Aveda products as well. I highly recommend going to Maximage for all your nail and spa needs.
By marvicl 6/16/2009
I have been to a lot of other places for nail and skin care around the area, but Maximage has them beat. Their hospitality and services are top notch. I have very sensitive skin and the staff helped me find the right products for my skin. Maximage is a real find.
By boobooandi 02/26/2009
Maximage salon is not only a wonderful welcoming salon, it is the place to go for the first class treatment. The entire staff is friendly, courteous and sincere. I have experienced every service available at Maximage over the past 5 years or so, and highly recommend this salon to everyone. The products used here, Aveda, Creative, OPI just to mention a few are top of the line. The staff is sincerely there for each one of their customers service. I look forward to each of my appointments for the relaxation I experience every time I am there. The environment is relaxing, the staff and clientele are bright, wonderful, professional women who care about the customer above the rest. As the only Aveda concept salon in the surrounding area should indicate to anyone Maximage is a higher class than the rest of the run of the mill salons in the area. There is never a rush, the service is for the customer first. I even get a reminder call every time the day before my appointment, thats is more than I can say about many other appointments including physicians. That should be indication alone how well cared for each client is. Enjoy ladies you will love any service you experience at Maximage.
By LKSPippy 01/26/2009
I have been a customer of Max Image since it first opened. The service, products and quality of their work is outstanding. The staff is very professional and courteous. Their goal is to please their customers - and they do! Their regular line is excellent, but they offer seasonal items too that change now and then. They're fun and hip and never boring. The facility is spotless, beautifully decorated, and a very calming, soothing place to spend an hour. Why drive to Glastonbury or West Hartford to go to an upscale salon when we have one (and only one) in Colchester? I highly recommend them without hesitation.
By stars231330 12/16/2008
I have been going to maximage for a year and a half. there pedicure are out of this world, and so very relaxing.. i love the AVEDA scrub, and red foot file they use during the ped! I get my nails done there every two week, I look forward to seeing the girls there they make me feel like family. I love how I can sit and talk with my nail tech like we were two good friends out to lunch! I wont go anywhere else!
By Abby 11/22/2008
I had the most wonderful experience at MaxImage! The staff was very friendly, the atmosphere is very relaxing and calming(just what I needed) and the place is very clean. Their facials are the best anywhere! I highly recommend pedicures, facials and massages and of course nails!

ATT told me any ph# can be used by the internet scammer to set up Voicelink type phone services. I called the 1-888-478-8724 for USBI and got a real person to answer my questions about service I knew nothing about until my bill arrived for March.
After hearing me rant she cancelled the unwanted servic and gave me a confirmation # to give to ATT to credit my acct. This person said my name wasn't the name on acct. nor was my address. She then told me the name of the person who used my ph#.
Never heard of that name. Service rep can't give address of person. We what ph# scammer used because I got billed. I will call the CPUC as suggested by ATT. We will see give a bugs a*s about this issue!
