This invention relates to semiconductor transducers in general and more particularly to methods for fabricating single crystal semiconductor devices.
The prior art is replete with patents depicting strain gage sensing configurations or transducers for providing force or pressure measurements. In such transducer arrangements strain or force is measured by a pattern of one or more piezoresistive elements diffused in or secured to a diaphragm fabricated from single or polycrystal silicon. The element pattern, which may be a Wheatstone bridge configuration, provides a change in resistance according to the magnitude of an applied force, which force serves to deflect the force collector upon which the sensing elements are located. The term force collector is used in a generic sense and can include a diaphragm, a beam and so on.
In order to provide for more reliable operation at high temperatures, the prior art fabricated such devices using dielectric isolation techniques. In such configurations, a silicon wafer had fabricated on a surface a dielectric layer of silicon dioxide, a layer of epitaxial silicon was fabricated on the dielectric layer and this silicon layer was polycrystalline. The layer of polycrystalline silicon was employed as a diaphragm to support single crystal sensors which are mechano-photochemically formed from the monocrystalline wafer. For examples of such structures and methods for fabrication, reference can be had to U.S. Pat. No. 3,800,264 entitled High Temperature Transducers and Housings Including Fabrication Methods issued on Mar. 26, 1974 to A. D. Kurt and J. R. Mallon, Jr., and assigned to the assignee herein.
Other patents also form sensor arrangements in layers of polycrystalline silicon, wherein the polycrystalline silicon layer serves as a diaphragm. For example, see U.S. Pat. No. 3,858,150 entitled Polycrystalline Silicon Pressure Sensor issued on Dec. 31, 1974 to Gurtler et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 4,003,127 entitled Polycrystalline Silicon Pressure Transducer issued on Jan. 18, 1977 to Jaffe et al.
In any event, it would be extremely desirable to provide a transducer structure which affords the advantages of dielectric isolation in regard to high temperature operation and overall increased reliability, which structure eliminates polycrystalline silicon as the diaphragm components. Polycrystalline silicon does not possess the mechanical strength associated with single crystal silicon and hence, such devices are more fragile, thus limiting the environments and force levels in which the transducer configurations operate. Moreover polycrystalline does not possess the mechanical stability and freedom from hysterisis of single crystal silicon. Hysterisis is a function of slip between the crystalites of a material. Single crystal silicon is essentially hysterisis free and thus an excellent transducer force collector and sensor structure. The prior art was cognizant of this problem and there was a desire to provide a single crystal silicon substrate operating with a single crystal sensor. However, in order to do so, the prior art bonded a single crystal sensor to a single crystal diaphragm by the use of a glass bonding layer having a lower softening temperature than the insulating layer and the semiconductor and having a matching expansion coefficient. A representative structure is depicted in U.S. Pat. No. 3,922,705 entitled Dielectrically Isolated Integral Silicon Diaphragm or other Semiconductor Product issued on Nov. 25, 1975 to Yerman. The problem with such devices are apparent in that the sensor is separately bonded by means of a glass bond, whose fabrication and characteristics are extremely difficult to control, hence rendering the device extremely difficult to fabricate. Moreover such structures using a relatively thick layer of glass suffer from the limitations of glass as a transducer at elevated temperatures, nonelastic behavior and locked in mechanical stresses due to nonuniform cooling during the fabrication process.
Still other techniques attempt to eliminate silicon and provide a substrate of sapphire or spinel. Such materials act as insulators and permit high temperature operation, but are difficult to manufacture due to the extreme care necessary in matching crystal axes, while such materials as spinel and sapphire are more expensive and more difficult to work with. Additionally, spinel and sapphire are difficult to etch and thus are limited in their ability to be fabricated in the complex and very thin force collector configuration currently used in the manufacture of integrated sensor transducers. A reference depicting such transducer structures is U.S. Pat. No. 4,203,327 entitled Piezoresistive Silicon Strain Sensors and Pressure Transducers Incorporating Them issued on May 20, 1980 to Singh.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved semiconductor structure and method for fabrication, which structure is particularly adapted for use and a transducer. The structure employs a single crystal substrate having a single crystal sensor positioned directly on an intermediate dielectric isolation layer.
A single crystal silicon substrate or diaphragm layer has a line grating formed on a surface, upon which surface a dielectric isolation layer of silicon dioxide is formed, the line grating remains on the dielectric layer and a layer of silicon is deposited, which layer is of single crystal form due to the presence of the grating structure. The method employed thus enables one to eliminate any intermediate glass bonding layer as well as eliminating polycrystalline structure. Thus, the structure and methods of this invention result in extremely reliable apparatus capable of high temperature operation while possessing improved mechanical strength, which structures as fabricated employ economical materials.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a single crystal substrate and grating pattern according to this invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross section view of the substrate of FIG. 1 taken through line 2--2;
FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view of a composite semiconductor product according to this invention; and
FIG. 4 is a plan view of a transducer structure according to this invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a substrate 10 which is a single crystal silicon substrate. The substrate 10 is depicted as rectangular in shape, but a circular form or other geometric configuration could be employed as well. The substrate 10 may be fabricated from single crystal silicon and is to be employed as a diaphragm for a semiconductor transducer. The top surface 11 of the substrate 10 is relatively flat and may be polished to an optical finish to assure a relatively uniform surface.
Located on the surface 11 is a grating or pattern 12. The pattern 12 is a series of fine, closely spaced grooves which are formed on the surface of the substrate by a suitable technique. The groove pattern or grating 12 is oriented in conjunction with the original cut of the monocrystalline silicon. As is known, the substrate 10 may be cut along the (110) crystallographic plane, the (111) plane, the (100) plane, and so on. The line pattern or gradient 12 may be formed on the surface of the substrate 10 by many suitable techniques such as chemical milling, ansiotropic etching, ion milling, diamond scribing and other techniques. Masking patterns may be established by photolithography or electron or X-ray lithography. Such techniques allows one to replicate submicron resolution planar patterns on various substrates. By such techniques, patterns in various forms can be achieved with submicron precision. In this manner, each line of the pattern 12 may be approximately 0.25 microns in width with a corresponding depth. The separation between lines can be made to possess spatial periods or separation on the order of 0.5 to 3 microns. Examples of such techniques and materials employed can be had by referring to U.S. Pat. No. 4,200,345 entitled Alignment of Diffraction Gratings issued on Apr. 29, 1980 to Smith, et al. and assigned to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Other patents as U.S. Pat. No. 3,743,842 entitled Soft X-ray Lithographic Apparatus and Process; U.S. Pat. No. 3,742,229 entitled Soft X-ray Mask Alignment System depict other techniques employed in preparing such gratings on silicon or other substrates. A typical linear grating 12, may comprise a pattern of parallel lines each of a width and depth between 0.05 to 5 microns with a separation between lines of between 0.5 to 10 microns. Typical diaphragms may be about 1/32 of an inch in length for a rectangular diaphragm with thickness from 0.1 mils and upward. Of course diaphragm type pressure transducers are only one type of device suitable for fabrication by the techniques herein described. These techniques are suitable for the production of strain gages, force sensitive beams, integrated accelerometers and so on.
It is, of course, understood that the production of the grating 12 on the semiconductor surface 11 can be accomplished by soft X-Ray techniques or by conventional photolithography techniques, in which ultraviolet light is shone unto a photosensitive film through a mask containing the grating pattern. After exposure, the film is subjected to a developer to recreate the mask pattern on the semiconductor surface. The technique can provide line widths on the order of one micron or less and is, of course, widely employed in the manufacture and production of integrated circuits.
Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown a cross section view taken through line 2--2 of FIG. 1 to show the grating pattern 12 on the surface of the substrate 10.
Referring to FIG. 3, it is noted that after formation of the grating 12, a thin layer of silicon dioxide 14 is thermally or otherwise grown or deposited on the surface 11 of the semiconductor 10. The layer of silicon dioxide 14 may be accomplished by thermal growth or deposition of layers of silicon dioxide and is well known in the art. Alternately other insulators such as Al2 O3, S1 N4, boron or phosphorous doped Si O2 and others may be employed as the insulating substrate. The layer is employed as a convenient means of electrically passivating the silicon surface and forming a protective mask against contamination of the surface by undesired impurities. Thermal oxidation normally proceeds at a temperature range of 900� to 1200� C. During oxidation, a carrier gas containing the oxidizing agent (normally oxygen gas or water vapor) is passed over the heated substrate 10. Kinetics of thermal oxide growth are well understood and it is known that for thin layers of Si O2, the growth rate is linear with time. See an article entitled "The Oxidation of Silicon in Dry Oxygen, Wet Oxygen and Steam" by B. E. Deal, J. Electromechanical Society, 110 (1963) 527. See text entitled "Physics and Technology of Semiconductor Devices" by A. S. Grove, published by Wiley, N.Y. (1967), Chapter 2.
Because the layer Si O2 is relatively thin the contoured surface of the silicon is maintained and a suitable surface for the growth of single crystal silicon is retrieved.
One now deposits a layer of silicon 15 upon the layer of silicon dioxide 10. This layer is deposited by techniques of silicon epitaxial deposition well known in the semiconductor industry. This layer can be crystallized by a thermal technique wherein bulk silicon is melted by a laser beam or suitable source and recrystallizes on the surface of the silicon dioxide. Due to the grating pattern 12, the silicon will crystallize as pure monocrystalline silicon of a nonrandom orientation. Thus, the grating pattern controls crystallization of the silicon to assure a single crystal structure. If a thicker layer is required one deposits additional silicon over the heated structure and due to the grating and thin layer of recrystallized single crystal silicon, the deposition of the free silicon atoms will exhibit continued monocrystalline growth. The grating 12 thus prevents the formation of polycrystalline silicon. The processes employed in epitaxy growth techniques can be employed to provide single crystal silicon due to the presence of the grating on the surface of the silicon dioxide layer. This technique is known as graphoepitaxy and reference is made to a paper "Crystallographic orientation of silicon on an amorphous substrate using an artificial surface relief grating and laser crystallization" by Cris Flanders and Smith published in the "Applied Physics letters" Vol. 35(1) July 1979.
Polycrystalline silicon cannot be chemcially milled by techniques of anisotropic etching and thus is limited to relatively simple structures when used as a force collector. When used as a sensor, polycrystalline silicon exhibits a decreased piezoresistive coefficient when compared to single crystal silicon and is thus inferior.
As one knows, if silicon is epitaxially grown on a noncrystalline substrate, such as Si O2, the deposited layers of silicon tend to be oriented in random directions, thus leading to a polycrystalline structure. Polycrystalline silicon does not have the electrical or mechanical properties of monocrystalline silicon and while useful in many applications such as dielectrically isolated devices, is inferior in operation.
The structure shown in FIG. 3 thus possesses a first layer or substrate 10 of single crystal silicon separated from a second single crystal silicon layer 15 by a dielectric layer 14.
Referring to FIG. 4, the layer 15 can be treated by conventional semiconductor techniques to provide an array 20 of piezorosistive devices. The array 20 is provided by selectively etching the silicon layer 15 by use of an etchant such as a combination of nitric acid (HNO3) and hydrofluoric acid (HF) to etch out the silicon layer 15 to form the array 20. The etchant will attack silicon dioxide relatively slowly as compared to silicon and hence, the bridge array can be easily formed by many known techniques. A contact pattern is further formed on the surface by conventional techniques, such as metal deposition and so on. To complete transducer fabrication, an aperture 25 is etched or formed on the bottom surface 26 of the wager 10 to encircle the area where the sensor array is located. This allows the final thickness of the diaphragm to be selected.
Accordingly FIG. 4 depicts a rectangular gage pattern 20 comprising a full bridge of piezoresistive sensors deposited at an angle of 45� with respect to the main axis 30. The axis 30 due to the grating pattern specifies the monocrystalline layer 15 in the (100) plane. At an angle of 45� degrees the crystal orientation axis is <110> as shown by axes 31 and 32. The bridge pattern deposited along these axes (31 & 32) gives a zero gage factor. A rectangular aperture 25 is etched or formed on the bottom surface of the wafer to define an active area where the sensor array 20 is located as above described.
The transducer structure may be secured to a suitable housing such as one fabricated from metal, glass and so on. Techniques for providing such housings and structures are well known in the art as evidenced by U.S. Pat. No. 3,654,579 entitled Electromechanical Transducers and Housings by Kurtz, et al. and assigned to the assignee herein.
The line grating pattern 12 is depicted as being particularly suitable, but other grating patterns can be employed as cross line patterns or patterns with different spacing between lines, different widths and depths. Such configurations will operate to control the recrystallization of the silicon to provide single crystal silicon on the dielectric layer replicating the grating pattern. The configuration of the grating is critical to the proper crystallization of the silicon. The method and parameters of the initial silicon deposition and the geometry of the cross-section of the grating together determine the final orientation of the crystallized silicon layer. Various geometry gratings may be employed to produce silicon layers of various orientations. The ability to control the layer orientation is extremely useful in allowing the transducer designer freedom to fabricate a device with the desired piezoresistive coefficients.
Of particular note is the ability to achieve gratings of various cross-sections through the use of known anisotropic silicon etching techniques.
There is thus provided a semiconductor product having a central dielectric layer bounded on one side by a single crystal silicon layer and on the other side by another single crystal layer. This structure is used to fabricate a transducer by selectively treating one layer to provide a piezoresistive array and terminal arrangement. The resultant transducer has dielectric isolation and hence, is capable of high temperature operation, while having all semiconductor elements fabricated from single crystal silicon.

You may be one of many people who are scared of the dentist. However, there is really no reason to be so scared. This article contains dental care tips you're able to use everyday.
Look into a quality dental cleaner that you can use to keep your teeth in tip top shape. These are small brushes that come in plastic pouches, and you can use them to clean your teeth outside of regular brushes. There are many types of this kind of brush depending on where you shop, so keep an eye out for them.
Many prescription medicines can cause dry mouth. When your glands do not produce enough saliva, there is an increased likelihood that you will experience cavities and pain. Your dentist can help you confirm that your dry mouth is caused by medication. You might be able to change to a different medication if this is the case. If not, the dentist is going to be able to prescribe treatment for those problems.
The way a toothbrush is held is crucial to proper brushing. To properly brush your teeth, hold your toothbrush on your teeth at a slight angle. Then, move it in a circular motion. Avoid using too much force, which can cause your gums to bleed.
Brush every day. Always do it at least twice a day. If possible, brush after every time you eat. Brush your teeth for three minutes ensuring you brush each tooth. Don't abuse your teeth by brushing too hard and be sure to use a toothpaste that contains fluoride. Floss your teeth after brushing them.
As you've just read, there are so many great ways that you can take care of your teeth with minimal effort on your part. You will look much better with a healthy smile and save a lot on dental care if you develop a good hygiene. Use these tips, and you will see a difference within only a few months.

(i previously posted about Jenna...)
DH and i have decided on Jenna but almost given up on it because we just cannot find a name we like and can agree on!!!
After researching family names... i found Roslyn (roz-lin). I really like it and its different but i would like to change the spelling to make it sound softer and not so harsh...
so i would like your help with the spelling variation!
for example begining with Rose or Rosa
and ending with -leen, -line, -lyn, or -leigh or anything else you can think of! LOL
Also how would you pronounce it with your choice of spelling?

ATLANTIC CITY - Late-fall afternoon sun streamed through the large windows of the airy space of the new Noyes Arts Garage of Richard Stockton College on Monday and illuminated the details of Ron Ross Cohen's storied pieces brilliantly.
"This is an amazing space," Cohen, a sixty-something sculptor and designer who lives in Galloway Township, said as he explained the intricacies of Celestial Quest, a piece made of found objects and leather that tells the story of a lowly fisherman who falls in love with a princess far from his reach.
"I think it's going to be a wonderful place for people who love the arts as well those who may never have thought about visiting a gallery before," said Cohen, who produced the Boardwalk Icon Series, commissioned in 2006 by the City of Atlantic City to create photo opportunities for visitors and residents. His 10-foot guitar at Tennessee Avenue is a favorite among country music fans, and his 8-foot stars along California Avenue bring a little bit of Hollywood to the seaside resort.

Bedford County's clerk said a change in state election law resulted in a long standing practice in her office becoming illegal without her knowledge.
County Clerk Kathy Prater told the T-G this week she was unaware that allowing candidates -- including one of her own employees -- to leave business cards in the office's public area was illegal until she was informed by Administrator of Elections Summer Leverette the day before the Aug. 7 election.
In 2002, Tennessee state law was changed to permit voter registration though other state agencies, such as the county clerk's office. One of the prohibited acts by a registering agency is to "display any such political preference or party allegiance."
In a certified letter to the Times-Gazette last week, B.J. Locke-Atkins claimed she had visited the clerk's office on May 6 and saw campaign material for incumbent school board member Dixie Parker, who works in the county clerk's office, on the counter.
Parker won the election by a vote of 370-216 over challenger Robert Allison in the District 1 School Board race.
"I had politely stated, in the spirit of fair-mindedness to the other candidate, what they were doing was improper and probably not legal," Locke-Atkins wrote. "Three months passed and my complaint fell on deaf ears."
Locke-Atkins brought the issue to the attention of the Times-Gazette on Aug. 6, the afternoon prior to the election, though she stated in her letter that she had known about the offense for months. She did not indicate why she waited so long to call the offense to the attention of the T-G.
Locke-Atkins wrote that Prater's office "had violated state laws by allowing an incumbent School Board member to campaign and place placards on their equipment for public exposure."
However, the county election commission and Prater said they were not aware of any violation of the law until the day before the Aug. 7 election following a call from the state election commission.
Leverette said that Locke-Atkins never called her personally until Aug. 6, after the state election commission contacted her about the matter that day. Leverette said she had "no knowledge of it until then."
"The state told me that she (Locke-Atkins) called with a complaint and that I should go over there and tell Kathy that she could not be doing that," Leverette said.
Kathy Summers of the state election commission confirmed that she called Leverette on Aug. 6 and told her to go to Prater's office about the violation.
Leverette said the only thing she saw in the office "were campaign cards. There were no placards on the computers, there were no 'vote for Dixie' signs, there was none of that. Just cards -- which is not right, she (Prater) shouldn't have been doing that."
Prater told the T-G that she has always allowed candidates to place their cards in her office since she became county clerk 18 years ago.
"Everybody has put cards up here," Prater said. "If there were seven people running for one office, we'd have seven cards. That's not just this office. Every office up here has done that."
She recalled that a lady had come to her offices several months ago and while Prater said she did not speak with the woman, one of Prater's clerks told her that "a lady had been complaining about Dixie having some cards out in the window."
"I said (to the clerk) 'did you tell her that Mr. Allison is more than welcome to bring his cards up here too?' and she said that she had," Prater said. "There wasn't anything mentioned to me about it being illegal or anything like that."
Prater said she didn't think she was doing anything wrong and heard nothing else about the matter until the day before the election when Leverette came to her office and said there had been a complaint from the state election commission.
When Leverette explained the law, Prater said "no problem" and removed them all, the county clerk said. She also checked the other offices nearby to make sure there were no cards, Prater said.
"We've been doing it (allowing the cards) for 18 years."
Since that time, Prater said she learned about the change in the law made in 2002 allowing people to register to vote in her office.
"It's not always been that way, but you can now turn in a registration to vote here, to the Register of Deeds office ... I am assuming that is when the law changed ... when we became a registering agency." Prater said she informed the other offices of the change in the law so that no other violations would occur.
Leverette said that when Locke-Atkins asked her why nothing had been done about the issue earlier, Leverette replied, "Ma'am, I wasn't aware of anything, you didn't contact me, you contacted the state ... I didn't know until you contacted the state."
Prater also had a closing statement on the matter.
"If it were truly about 'did I do something I wasn't suppose to do?' ... was I aware of it? No, I was not. But the thing I'd like to say is -- if this was all about getting the cards out of the window and telling me I had done something wrong, it would have been nice to have gotten that from the election commission that day (of the original complaint), and it wouldn't have looked so orchestrated to come out a day before the election."

Response 1: "In this post-Sept. 11 world, the No. 1 priority of city government must be public safety. Our police, fire department and emergency personnel must be equipped to protect us. Amarillo has been able to maintain a low tax rate by finding alternative funding sources for many budget items. This should continue."
Response 2: "Even in the midst of difficult economic times, Amarillo has developed and proceeded with several "quality of life" projects - some in partnership with other public and private entities. I want to see the completion of the new library, parks and performing arts center. Let's keep an eye on our future."

This review is from: Movado 2100005 Museum Black Dial Black Leather Band Men's Quartz Analog Watch
Pros: You know when it is midnight and noon.
Cons: You only know when it is midnight and noon.
Other Thoughts: Even a broken watch is correct twice a day.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: SANS DIGITAL MobileRAID MR2UT+ 0/1/JBOD* and Spanning 2 x Hot-swappable 3.5" Drive Bays USB 3.0, eSATA 2-Bay SATA Compact Tower Enclosure (Silver)
Pros: I have used this site for at least a decade and rarely review anything, but this machine merits my recommendation. After reading the specs and very few reviews, I was hopeful yet skeptical. I have owned many external drive inclosures and this is, by far, the best.
-Solid construction
-2 trays with safety bars to prevent bending
-Trays lock in with a hatch (no chance of the drive disconnecting, even if you shook it)
-Fan to prevent overheating and dust buildup (the pictures don't show it, but there are grates underneath the latches on the front to allow air to pass through. You can actually feel the coolness on the front)
-Plug and play hotswap with ESATA (6TB quick swap is great)
-Comes with ESATA cord and the ESATA chip, as well as USB compatible
To put it simply; if you are shopping for external storage, your search is over.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Other reviews mention the start up beep being loud, and this is true, but what I wonder is why it is necessary at all as there are lights to confirm it is on. Also the mute button on the front seems to do nothing.
Regardless, this is a superb machine.

I am sure that everybody knows about Halo 3 and if they don't they're either in denial or in the dark. Halo 3 is probably the reason of why the Xbox 360 is so successful. Halo 3 is probably one of the greatest shooter games of all, but not as good as the very original. H3 is one of my favorites not only because it stars one of the most badass hero's of all time, The Master Chief but it's plot and the amount of success behind it. Sadly it was probably bought just because of it's Online Play. Everybody is playing LIVE and not the story any more, but i must agree that H3 has an amazing OGE (Online Gaming Experience) i've ever played.
Here are my TOP 5 picks for Online Gaming for the Xbox 360!
5:Team Fortress 2 (Rated: Mature)
4:Far Cry 2 (Rated: Mature)
3:Call of Duty: World at War (Rated:Mature)
2:Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (Rated: Mature)

For the third year in a row, Charleston has been named the top city in America by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler magazine. And so many Charleston hotels received high marks this year that they were given their own section.
Our little city continues to score high in the reader's poll partly because of its distinctive architecture and rich history. So, in honor of the Holy City's popularity, here's some local trivia coming your way.
Current Head2Head champion Heather Fuller, a medical assistant, is going up against Ron Lloyd, who works in marketing.
1. What was America's first building constructed solely as a theater?
2. What is the oldest public building in Charleston?
3. The first North American game of this sport was played in Charleston in 1786.
4. What fruit is the symbol of hospitality?
5. The monument in Marion Square is dedicated to what prominent South Carolinian?
6. What is the longest remaining cobblestone street downtown called?
7. What is the intersection of Meeting and Broad streets known as?
8. What year was the earthquake that measured 7.3 on the Richter scale and damaged 2,000 buildings?
9. Designer of the Washington Monument, this local was the first professionally trained architect in the United States.
10. Edward Rutledge and Charles Pinckney, signers of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, respectively, are buried on the grounds of which historic downtown church?
1. The Dock Street
2. That little building on Cumberland. The Powder Magazine.
3. Could it be golf?
4. Pineapple
5. Calhoun, like the street.
6. Chalmers
7. The four corners of the law.
8. Not exactly sure. Sometime in the 1880s.
9. Haven't a clue.
10. St. Michael's
1. Seem to recall that's the Dock Street Theatre.
2. The Old Powder Magazine
3. Thinking it's golf.
4. The pineapple
5. Calhoun
6. Chalmers. Don't recommend driving down it.
7. Known as the four corners of the law because of the different branches of government represented at each corner.
8. 1886
9. Don't think I know this.
10. St. Philip's
Our two contestants knew a good deal of local trivia, making this a close race, but there can only be one Head2Head trivia champ. Ron will return next week against a new opponent.
1. Dock Street Theatre, formerly the New Theatre
2. The Powder Magazine
3. Golf
4. Pineapple
5. John C. Calhoun
6. Chalmers Street
7. Four corners of the law
8. 1886
9. Robert Mills
10. St. Philip's Episcopal Church

If one can get enteritis from eating with dirty hands and lung cancer from breathing dirty air, can one get potty ear from listening to dirty words? And does one get potty mouth from cussing?
I think that it is an appropriate name for the malady of those who insist on using profane language when it is inappropriate and offensive.
Recently I was in the company of a young professional man. He was handsome and dapper. Two women he knew came up and he introduced us. He did most of the talking and continued to spice up his discourse with cuss words ... all of 'em. The women smiled nervously, but I noticed they did not reply with blue vocabulary. After the women left, I asked him about his salty language.
"I do it all the time. They love it," he said with a grin.
I was not old enough to be his father but I said, "No, they don't."
I lectured him on mutual respect, decency, chivalry and the cowboy way. He was also a professional man who sounded like a crude, inarticulate buffoon straight off HBO's newest show, "Search for Jerks."
He didn't necessarily take offense but I realized no one had ever talked to him like that before. I suggested he scrutinize the expressions of those he was cussing at and to imagine every time he #&%$% or @^&%$ that his breath smelled like bad cheese on a hot manifold, or that he has just lost control of his alimentary tract cork and soiled himself.
I am not on a crusade to improve civility between people. I can cuss in Spanish and English, and do when I hit my thumb. I have occasion at stag programs to be X-rated, and have questioned the ancestry of some politicians who incite me.
But I have no respect for the George Carlins, or Chris Rocks or Dennis Millers of the world. They do not make the world a better place because they are coarse, clever and vulgar.
I regret there are so few movies or comedians I can take my family to see. The potty mouths have taken over the entertainment world. Books are no different. It is now commonplace for newspaper editors to show no restraint when quoting the potty mouths, toilet tongues and the salacious titillating purveyors of oral flatulence.
Our civilization charges on in search of the lowest common denominator.

Inside Parabellum, Hollywood, CA
Parabellum. Wow. I've been thinking about how to write this post and streamline the wealth of photos, since i showed you the breath logos on the Oliver Peoples for Parabellum collaboration end of last week… and i've finally realized, there's too much good stuff. So get ready for a visual adventure through the amazing workshop of Parabellum on the next page!
Tucked away in a prefab super-workshop behind a house in Hollywood, you will find a buffalo head looking down upon piles of luscious colorful buffalo leather, ceramic buckles and buttons, ball and claw feet in the making, racks of bags, wallets, and belts, a beautifully fluffy chow, sewing machine with dexter on it, a peek into their adventures with buffalo out on the plains, inspiration walls, a belt unboxing (out of the stunning wooden box!), kevlar lined belt details (with window!), a peek at how the incredible leather wears over time, and so much more. PHEW It is incredible!
Ultimately, the more i went through it all, the more i realized that the only way you can fully understand the passion the Parabellum team has for the unique, beautiful, extremely intentional and particular products that they create is to take it all in much like I did. A truly inspirational, sensory overload - and to top it off, every time i see/touch Shawn's Parabellum Card Wallet i find myself imaging where it was made (all here in LA), the buffalo it came from, the stories of how it all came to be, and the subtle, intentional details worked into every corner…
So if you're ready, dive in with me on the next page!

SIXTEEN YEARS AGO, Henry Mankin, MD, removed the entire distal segment of the femur from a woman who had a giant cell tumor and replaced it with a section of cadaveric bone. Today, Mankin says, the patient has a functioning leg and is still doing well.
Major resection bone allografting, which can involve replacing all or part of a joint and suturing the tendons and ligaments together, is one example of a medical development that is increasing the need for human tissue and fostering progress in tissue-banking technology.
Mankin, a professor of orthopedic surgery at Harvard Medical School, Boston, says allografting of skeletal parts has had a long, but "slightly tarnished," history—stretching back almost 100 years. Ending years of frustrating failure was the discovery, in the 1950s, that freezing the bone prior to transplantation reduced the immune reaction presumably responsible for the large number of failures. Bone allografting in general

Previous Chapter Chapter 7: Anorexia Nervosa, Postmodern Readings of the Body and Narrative Therapy Next Chapter
By: Julie Hepworth
In: The Social Construction of Anorexia Nervosa
Chapter 7: Anorexia Nervosa, Postmodern Readings of the Body and Narrative Therapy
The human body was entering a machinery of power that explores it, breaks it down, and rearranges it. A 'political anatomy', which was also a 'mechanics of power', was being born; it defined how one may have a hold over others' bodies, not only so that they may do what one wishes, but so that they may operate as one wishes, with the techniques, the speed and the efficiency that one determines. Thus discipline produces subjected and practised bodies, 'docile' bodies.
During the early 1980s a more intensive examination of the body, theory and social practices emerged. The body was no longer ...

There are millions of websites on the internet. Today anyone who wishes to do so can have a website. If you want your practice to be successful you need an effective website that will stand out from your competition.
Thats where Physio123 can help. We make very effective websites for physiotherapy practices. We do this by combining two key features;
high quality professional design
successful search engine marketing
High quality professional design
The purpose of your practices website must be clear. What is intended to be achieved? For physiotherapy practices this is usually getting potential patients to call you to book an appointment. We make sure this happens by:
Designing websites that reflect a professional image for you practice and gives visitors the confidence to book an appointment with you.
Improving Your Image - Our clients come to us to build their websites because we get results and improve their image.
Creating websites that are easy for your visitors to navigate and find the information they are looking for quickly.
The quality of the websites we design can be seen in our
website portfolio
. Unlike many web designers, we do not sell the same design to your competitor. All of our designs are unique, and are designed to meet the specific requirements of your practice.
Search engine marketing
Once your practice has a website you want to get as many potential patients to find out about your practice. This can be done by getting your practices website to show up for searches made using search terms that are relevant for your practice. For example if you had a physiotherapy clinic in central London you would want your website to appear for the following searches (London physiotherapy physiotherapy in London London Physiotherapist Physios in London etc).
Physio123 provide search engine marketing to ensure that all our clients websites appear high up the search results for their relevant search terms. We achieve this through:
Search engine optimisation (SEO) - Physio123 market your practices website on the internet to make the search engines rank you higher in their search results.
Pay per click marketing - Physio123 manage Google Adwords campaigns for our clients to ensure an excellent return on investment. Using our knowledge of physiotherapy keywords we can create campaigns that will produce immediate results. This means you will get more phone calls from day one

DJS Research Ltd is pleased to announce the launch of VoicED.org.uk, a market research community for education professionals. The panel, supported by the Prince's Teaching Institute, allows people working in all areas of the education sector to voice their opinions and influence the future of the sector without any exposure to sales or marketing – the community is wholly for market research purposes.
VoicED operates on a dual incentive system, with respondents receiving incentives for both themselves and their choice of either an educational institution or the panel's nominated charity, The Prince's Teaching Institute.
DJS Research Ltd has a strong background in the education sector, with clients including Manchester University, NCFE, OCR, The British Council, Pearson, The Department for Education and Skills and the National Association of Head Teachers. The agency's previous research has considered a wide-range of potential policies, new resources, teacher, lecturer and student satisfaction and the potential to introduce new courses of study, among others.
Elliot Simmonds, who will manage the community on a day to day basis, felt the move was a positive one for the northern agency, which has recently moved to new, larger offices: "VoicED is a great addition to our research offer and one which makes sense given our strength in the education sector over the past few years. The way we have chosen to thank respondents for their opinions should lead to a highly engaged, involved group of education professionals who are genuinely interested in developments in the sector. There's also the opportunity to expand the panel in time to offer additional features, but I can confirm that none of them will ever involve unsolicited selling or advertising to our members – that's not what VoicED is about."
The panel, in development for several months, has generated a lot of interest among education professionals and already holds details on several thousand respondents. VoicED offers respondents the opportunity to be involved in both quantitative and qualitative education market research projects.
VoicED has already rewarded two individuals who took part in concept testing research for the panel – they were both thrilled to have been chosen:
"I got a telephone call from VoicED telling me I had won £50 and I didn't believe it but when the cheque arrived I just thought oh wow, just for doing a survey!"
Jacinta Mills – Buxton Community School : "It was a complete surprise. After doing such a short survey it was absolutely belting to receive £50 from VoicED for taking part! I will be sure to make more use of them in the future."
John McTeigue – Harrop Fold School : If you are an education professional and would like more information on VoicED, or to sign up, please visit www.voiced.org.uk. Those interested in utilising VoicED for research projects should visit www.educationmarketresearchuk.com for further details. In addition, you can connect with VoicED through Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.

Unfortunately the shower wasn't quite clean the two days I was there. Still, the nicests people and a really quiet area so it's still a bargain.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are the NBA's modicum for patient, earned, and seemingly sustainable success. Just three years removed from a 3-29 start and in-season coaching change, OKC was a Finals participant last season in a closer-than-it-looked five game series. The trade of James Harden not withstanding, they boast a young, versatile roster with two bonafide superstars, a near All-Star big man that's only getting better, and solid ancillary parts that play their roles to perfection. They've got a model lockerroom culture and maybe the league's most passionate fanbase, too...

County Commissioner
Bill Bowman, Boman County Commissioner
Nominated by ND County Commissioners Association
Mr. Bowman's nomination and letters of recommendation all cited his leadership statewide both in his role as a Commissioner and as a State Senator representing District 39. He is known as a "go-to" advocate for oil counties, particularly bringing attention to the needs of oil counties to retain more of the revenues being raised there to address immediate impacts.
Linda Svihovec, McKenzie County Auditor/Treasurer
Nominated by McKenzie County Board of Commissioners
Linda's nomination by the Board of Commissioners describes her as a steady hand at the helm of a county that has experienced rapid and dramatic change in the heart of the Bakken oil boom. She has served 25 years, first as Deputy Treasurer, then Treasurer, then transitioned to Auditor, and now serves the combined Auditor/Treasurer position. She was President of the North Dakota Association of Counties in 2010 and has played a role in important county-related legislation, including the Governor's task force on property tax reform.
Kim Nadeau, Rolette County Sheriff's Department Office Deputy
Nominated by Rolette County Board of Commissioners and Sheriff's Department
Kim is credited with keeping the Sheriff's Office running smoothly through the years with five sheriffs, 28 full-time and 13 part-time corrections and dispatch officers and 20 deputies. She has acted as jail administrator and accepted a variety of other duties as required whenever the department is over-burdened or in transition.
County Officials Hall of Honor
Mark Koeser, Former McKenzie County Road Superintendent
Nominated by the McKenzie County Board of Commissioners

S Class
The Mercedes S-Class is the best luxury car around. It's great to drive, and has all the quality and space you could want. …
The BMW 7 Series is a capable luxury saloon with a spacious and lavish interior, and it's fun to drive. An S-Class still rides more comfortably.
The BMW 7 Series doesn't only have rivals such as the Mercedes S-Class and Audi A8 to worry about – it must also fend off cars such as Land Rover's Range Rover, too. In a bid to do just that, BMW has opted to construct parts of its 7 Series from carbonfibre, keeping the car's weight down and therefore improving efficiency and agility.
In 30d diesel form – likely to be the biggest selling version – it is impressively clean and frugal, and one that is better to drive down a twisting B-road than many of its rivals. Inside, the quality is top notch and there's lots of standard equipment including the latest infotainment and safety tech. However, as with many luxury cars, the options list is extremely long and features some even more intriguing technology.
Even in its standard wheelbase form, the 7 Series has more than enough space for four adults, and the long wheelbase version takes things to the next level. The boot is comparable with rivals and big enough for two or three large suitcases.
So, the 7 Series is powerful yet frugal, good to drive, luxurious and loaded with tech but where it doesn't quite match the class-leading Mercedes S-Class is in its ride quality. At high speeds it lopes along without much fuss, but at low speeds over broken roads it's a tad busier for those on board.

The perfect size, and so stylish, to have with you at all times to take out to take notes. And because it's zippered it keeps your own business cards, and all those business cards you collect at a networking event, from falling out!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

- Van Giao Commune, Tinh Bien District, An Giang Province, Vietnam
- • http://www.vietnamtourism.com
The village is located in Van Giao Commune, Tinh Bien District, An Giang Province. Van Giao brocade symbolizes the beauty and rich cultural character of Khmer ethnic people's brocade.
Van Giao brocade has multiform style, harmonious colour and fine pattern because weavers combined traditional method and modern technique. The specific dyeing technique of Van Giao Village is use of natural dyes. It makes silk shining, smooth and fast.
For brocade shawls, Khmer people usually weave 3 layers of silk fibres with 3 different colours. If looking straight, you will see blue. If looking from the left side, you will see orange. If looking from the right side, you will see red. And for brocade picture or table-cover, the weaving technique is more difficult because the patterns usually base on fairy tales.
Van Giao brocade is currently exported to many countries such as United State, Australia, France, Thailand, Cambodia... under trade brand Khmer Silk.

With the end of the season drawing closer and closer, the San Jose Sharks have found themselves in a four-way battle for the Western Conference's final playoff position.
The reigning Pacific Division Champions have definitely pulled an about-face and are fighting and clawing for the final position as they look to win the club's first Stanley Cup.
Over the last few weeks, Sharks fans have been complaining about the players' effort, or lack thereof. I can't tell you how many times I've heard someone blame goaltender Antti Niemi for not seeing the puck, captain Joe Thornton not doing his job in leading his troops, or that Patrick Marleau isn't scoring enough goals.
While these comments may be true to some degree, the bigger problem lies somewhere else.
Upstairs. And the gentleman who are standing behind the bench.
Let's take a look at reasons why General Manager Doug Wilson and head coach Todd McLellan should be fired if the San Jose Sharks don't make the playoffs this season.

FITCO Cares Foundation Partners with TELOS Fitness Center to Launch Free 'Fitness for Heroes'
D/FW Veterans Invited to June 30 Kick-Off Boot Camp and Pool Party
The 'Fitness for Heroes' boot camps will be held every Saturday from 10 – 11 a.m. at TELOS Fitness Center located at 13701 Dallas Parkway in Dallas beginning June 30. They are free to all military veterans with proper Veterans Affairs identification. Additionally, the boot camps are open to the public for anyone who wants to show support for these soldiers for only a $10 fee. All proceeds will go to FITCO Cares Foundation.
"A surge of military veterans are returning home to face a perfect storm of challenges, ranging from financial, physical and mental, and it's not always easy for them to ask for help," said Jason Kos, co-founder and CEO of FITCO. "We are grateful to TELOS Fitness Center for hosting these boot camps. We hope they will not only provide veterans with an outlet to relieve stress and improve health, but will also provide motivation and a sense of community."
The 'Fitness for Heroes' boot camp program is in conjunction with Joining Forces, a White House initiative to serve and support military families, in which TELOS participates by providing free memberships to families of active military.
Providing inspiration to the partnership is Chris Kyle,former Navy SEAL Team 3 Chief and author of "American Sniper," a Publisher's Weekly and New York Times best-seller.

In some families, Troy Gallen would have been unceremoniously ostracized.
In others, he might have been forced to take out the trash every hour and/or cut the lawn three times a week.
His crime? Turning his back on the school where his father and brother experienced football success.
The 5-11, 175-pound Gallen, a junior, is now a dual-threat running back at Malvern Prep. But until 3 years ago, he always dreamed of attending Cardinal O'Hara and, who knows, he might be there now if not for one of Malvern's players.

Viva Pinata
Animal sacrifice and fuzzy love.
This is the game that has seen its own cartoon launch months before the November ship date -- the hype train has left the station, right? After a showing at Leipzig which was heavily marred and maimed (busted open with tootsie rolls falling everywhere?), Pinata needed to earn a little bit of redemption at Microsoft's X06 conference. It's hard to redeem yourself by showing the same demo again and again, but Microsoft gave it the old college try.
It's the same demo. It's the same worms moving to your garden, followed by a sparrow and then a snake. It's the same building of a worm house. It's the same worms making worm love. What's different? Well, steadily the game's performance is improving. There's still some sputtering -- the autosave causes a pause -- but with another month to optimize, tune and bug fix, Microsoft is optimistic that the game will stay solid at 30 frames per second. Though, if the game is targeting six to eight year olds, aren't they just happy to be playing a video game rather than worrying about the frames per second and the draw distance? Kids think "draw distance" is something from Picture Pages.
In order to get these pinatas to stay in your
town garden (sorry, Animal Crossing) there are four criteria that have to be met. Some of these criteria are puzzle-y in nature, with different variables needing to be met for a particular variety of chocolate-stuffed animal to crash at your pad. Simple, newb pinatas like the Whirlms (worms) will show up if there's dirt in your yard from delivering a beat down via the janky-grandpa garden variety shovel that some girl gives you at the beginning of the game.
When the Whirlms roll into your
town garden (eff, that's twice) town, they don't change colors until they decide to stay in the town -- at first they are white and are just visitors. Once they decide to stay, for whatever arbitrary reason they've been assigned, you can hook them up with a mate. But in order to get these worms to totally do it do the romance dance, you gotta build them a house.
So, the Whirlms hook up and a stork delivers a baby worm, at which point a sparrow enters the town. Now, we haven't actually seen this happen, but rumor has it, that before you can get the sparrows to
get 'dey freak on do the romance dance, you have to sacrifice one of your worms to them! You have to sacrifice one of your own family of worms to appease the bird gods! And Microsoft wants kids to make these ethical choices. Should my fictional six-year-old son Dutch sacrifice the worm he bred, named and drew a tag on (Ally) so that two unnamed Sparrowmints can shake it up? Is this a video game or Sophie's Choice?
Viva Pinata is more than pinata-life simulator; it's an experiment in ethics. And this fall six to eight year-olds and 25 year-olds with the brain capacity of six to eight year olds (us) are in for a treat and an ethics lesson.

Measurement solution for formaldehyde FTIR measurementby Protea Limited based in Middlewich, UNITED KINGDOM
Reciprocating internal combustion engines burning natural gas are a source of formaldehyde emissions. There are strict tolerances imposed on operators of engines to ensure that formaldehyde is removed effectively and that formaldehyde emissions are below published limits. The only instrumental method for formaldehyde monitoring is FTIR, following procedures such as US EPA Method 320 and Environment Agency TGN M22. Protea's FTIR gas analysers have been specifically designed to follow these methods and our FTIR analyser have been proven in formaldehyde emission measurements over many years.
Measurement solution for Perflurocarbon (PFC) emissions from aluminium industryby Protea Limited based in Middlewich, UNITED KINGDOM
The aluminium industry is the major source of perflurocarbon (PFC) emissions to the atmosphere, which are a major contributor to global warming. PFCs have greenhouse gas effects up to 10000 times that of CO2. Emissions have been reduced over the last 20 years, but further reductions are harder to achieve as all the mechanisms for PFC production are not known. In order to better understand the production of PFC on an industrial level, laboratory studies have been carried out using a small scale cell.
Measurement solution for soil chamber gas fluxby Protea Limited based in Middlewich, UNITED KINGDOM
Closed chamber gas flux measurements can be made with Protea FTIR analysers to allow researchers in the field of atmospheric gas analysis from agricultural and livestock to measure evolved gases such as N2O, CO2, CO, NH3, and CH4. Nitrous oxide (N2O) and Methane (CH4) emissions from soil, plant and livestock are especially important gases to measure, given their high potential as greenhouse gases (GHGs). NH3, whilst not a greenhouse gas on the scale of N2O, CH4 and CO2, is a major emission from agricultural, such as after the spreading of liquid manure, and steps are required to measure and reduce the NH3 emissions and the effects they have on the ecosystem.
Measurement solution for Biomass combustion researchby Protea Limited based in Middlewich, UNITED KINGDOM
The use of alternative combustion fuels that provide a renewable source of energy is a major area of research and investment. Sources of biomass fuels include virgin wood, energy crops, agricultural residues, food waste and industrial waste. Controlling the combustion process of any new fuel and keeping track of the biomass fuel emissions of combustion by-products is important to users of these new fuels.
Measurement solution for fire testing for the railway industryby Protea Limited based in Middlewich, UNITED KINGDOM
A lot of research is carried out in laboratory and on real fires as to the gaseous substances produced in fire effluent. Measurement principles using analytical instrumentation are becoming more widely used in fire testing, due to the quick, real-time nature of the measurements. ISO 19702 is an international standard developed for the use of FTIR analysers in the analysis of gas from fire effluents. Further to this, local test standards such as DIN 5510, applicable to the railway industry, can provide further requirements for gases to be measured.
Measurement solution for liquid TiCl4 vanadium oxychloride monitorby Protea Limited based in Middlewich, UNITED KINGDOM
The chloride process of titanium dioxide (TiO2) pigment manufacture first converts titania-containing ores to TiCl4 via a carbochlorination reaction at a high temperature in a chlorinator in the presence of chlorine gas and petroleum coke added as a reductant.
Measurement solution for siloxane monitoring in biogas and landfillby Protea Limited based in Middlewich, UNITED KINGDOM
The generation of electricity from municipal digesters and land fill is of increasing interest, as the biogas can allow for a form of renewable energy. Organosilicon compounds often find their way into land-fill or digester gases as siloxanes. Siloxanes are low-level hazards to the atmosphere in terms of their emissions, however when they are combusted in gas engines the hard silica that is produced is very harsh to the moving parts of the gas engine.
Methane gas leak detectionby Opgal Optronic Industries Ltd. based in Karmiel, ISRAEL
Methane emissions from oil and natural gas systems is primarily the result of normal operations or system disruptions. These hazardous emissions can be cost-effectively reduced by upgrading technologies or equipment, and by improving operations. However, in order to do so, one must be able to detect and identify the existence of a fugitive gas leak. Opgal`s EyeC Gas Thermal Imager for gas leak detection, is one of the most advanced cameras used to detect leaks. Thus, it becomes a required tool in mitigating and reducing fugitive emissions of methane gas.
Measurement solution for QAL2 EN 14181by Protea Limited based in Middlewich, UNITED KINGDOM
BS EN 14181 is a quality assurance standard relevant to plants operating under the Large Combustion Plant (LCPD) and Waste Incineration (WID) Directives. Quality Assurance Level 2 (QAL2) of this standard involves the parallel testing of the plant automated measurement systems (AMS) against a certified test house, making measurements with a comparative standard.
Measurement solution for acrylates speciationby Protea Limited based in Middlewich, UNITED KINGDOM
A customer had a requirement for continuous Ethyl Acrylate monitoring. The process operations emit multiple Acrylate species, all at low concentrations, but only Ethyl Acrylate being reportable to the EA under the terms of the IPC permit. A 204M FTIR analyser was deployed and a chemometric model was built specifically to target Acrylates, with the purpose of separating and accurately quantify the target Ethyl Acrylate species.
VOCs Fugitive emissions detectionby Opgal Optronic Industries Ltd. based in Karmiel, ISRAEL
An oil refinery or petroleum refinery is an industrial process plant where crude oil is processed and refined into more useful petroleum products, such as naphtha, gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene, etc,. Oil refineries are typically large, sprawling industrial complexes with extensive piping running throughout, carrying streams of fluids between large chemical processing units.

Hazardous waste treatment solutions for metal industryby econ industries GmbH based in Starnberg, GERMANY
Sludge by-products from the metalworking industry have a high potential for recycling. Prolonged grinding processes can generate large amounts of highly valuable, alloy-rich sludge; consisting of metal powder and cooling lubricants. Inside our VacuDry system, the thermal separation of the liquids (hydrocarbons, eventually water) and solids (metal powder) takes place in an oxygen free atmosphere. This absence of oxygen ultimately eliminates material degradation by oxidation, and self-ignition or explosion risks. Operation under a low vacuum ensures the possibility to recover the cooling lubricants for later reuse. After the thermal treatment, for appropriate handling in the melting process, the metal powder is pressed into briquettes. With the econ VacuDry technology, 100% recycling of all ingredients is possible.
Hazardous waste treatment solutions for site remediationby econ industries GmbH based in Starnberg, GERMANY
The contamination of soils as a result of prior chemical production can often be unpredictable and diverse. The majority of such pollutants will require an ex-situ treatment method. Many of our VacuDry units can be used for direct-feeding contaminated soils. To reduce the input amount for thermal treatment, the VacuDry units can also be used in combination with soil-washing plants: In this case, customers only feed the high polluted fractions and screened fines (e.g. below 10 mm), as well as the filter-cake from the soil washing process. However, we are able to handle soil contaminated with mercury, hydrocarbons, PAH, PCB, dioxins, furans, organic-lead compounds and many more. VacuDry plants for on-site ex-situ remediation projects are delivered in a modular design.
