REVEALED: SRK's vacation plans
For all die hard-fans curious to know about SRK's holiday plans, the secret is out. According to a report by Zoom, SRK will be celebrating his New Year's Eve in Dubai with his family.
In recent years Dubai has become a favorite with King Khan for his vacations. Khan has had a busy year with two of his most ambitious films releasing in a span of just three months.
We are sure SRK will be exhausted after his whirlwind promotional tours. But we only hope that the box-office response to Don 2 gives him something to cheer about.

Welcome to MTSBA!
Starting in 1926, the Montana School Boards Association (MTSBA) has promoted and defended each community's ownership of its public schools, exercised through constitutionally-empowered trustees who are elected by and accountable to the communities they serve.
MTSBA is governed by a 20 member Board of Directors including directors appointed by the boards of Montana's seven largest communities (Billings, Butte, Bozeman, Great Falls, Helena, Kalispell and Missoula); 11 directors elected by their peers in geographic regions throughout the state of Montana, one representative of the Indian School Board Caucus and one representative serving on the National School Boards Association Board of Directors.
All of MTSBA's directors are elected volunteer trustees in their local communities and serve on the MTSBA board without compensation, just as they do in their local communities.
MTSBA's membership encompasses virtually all the state's locally elected boards of trustees, over 1,400 dedicated volunteer leaders in all. Our services and other resources are designed, implemented, regularly and effectively assessed and adjusted to ensure the success of Montana's Public Schools.

Pamela WrightMeteorologist
Pamela Wright joined WYFF 4 in July 2013 as meteorologist on the weekend version of WYFF News 4 Today. Originally from Charleston, SC, Pamela says her career in news and fascination with weather began in 1989 - shortly after Hurricane Hugo roared through her hometown. An English major at the College of Charleston, Pamela studied Meteorology at the University of Wisconsin and through Mississippi State's broadcast meteorology program. But she says it was her nearly twenty years of broadcasting, in climates ranging from the tropics to the 'frozen tundra', however, that taught her the most!
During Pamela's 18 year career, she worked as a reporter, producer, talk show host and weather anchor at WCSC in Charleston, WLUK in Green Bay, WI, WSVN in Miami, and for the CBS network owned and operated stations in Miami and Los Angeles. She earned the National Weather Association's Seal of Approval for the quality of her weather broadcasts in 1996 and was also awarded the Mark Twain award for Best Weather Segment from the Associated Press.
In 2007, Pamela decided to step away from the 'green screen' for a while to focus on raising her children and fulfilling a long-held entrepreneurial dream. She and her husband bought a cafe in the River Arts District of Asheville, NC and headed for the hills! She says the more relaxed lifestyle, the creative energy and the beauty of the Upstate and Mountains drew them to the area. Her husband, Trip, now runs the café and their kids just run constantly. Pamela is excited to be forecasting again , especially with the WYFF 4 weather team she has watched and respected for years. Pamela's other interests include hiking, writing, volunteering, American Sign Language, cooking (the healthier & spicier the better), and Green Bay Packer football.

Cardinal McCarrick has a bad habit of losing big leads, but it has a good habit of getting big plays from multiple players when that lead is challenged.
Such was the case again last when Cardinal McCarrick saw an 18-point lead shrink to two with 5:49 left to play before pulling away for a a 57-49 victory over Monroe in a Greater Middlesex Conference-White Division contest in South Amboy last night.
Marques Townes led a balanced attack with 16 points and eight rebounds, Muhammed Alli added 15 points and seven rebounds, while Jumanne McDaniel posted 10 points and 10 rebounds as Cardinal McCarrick won its sixth straight game. Victor Sorrento scored 21 for Monroe and Ryan Genevieve had 15.
Down the stretch, when Monroe crept to within 43-41 on a pair of foul shots by Sorrento--Monroe had two possessions to either tie or take the lead--McCarrick had an answer.
First, it was pull-up by Townes to provide a four-point cushion, then Alli scored on muscle rebound to push the lead to seven.
After Sorrento nailed a 3-pointer to keep Monroe in it at 47-44 with 2:38 left, J.D. Rodriguez answered with a three.
With Monroe still hanging in at 50-46, Alonzo Hamilton scored on a power move.
Monroe had one more chance as it trailed, 52-49, with 51 seconds left on a three-point play by Sorrento, but Alli scored on a fastbreak layup, then Rodriguez stole the ball and fed to Townes, who sealed it with a crowd-pleasing, left-handed dunk.
"We just can't play for four quarters and I'm concerned about it,'' said Cardinal McCarrick coach Joe Lewis, whose shot 57 percent from the field, while holding Monroe to 34 percent. "But I am proud that we were able to make big plays when we needed. I also thought we played great on the glass and I thought Jumamme played outstanding defense on Genevieve. He made him take a lot of tough shots.''
Cardinal McCarrick raced to a 22-4 lead without Townes scoring a point. Cardinal McCarrick maintained a comfortable lead, then when Genevieve, averaging 23.1 points per game, went to the bench early in the second quarter with three fouls, Monroe appeared in trouble.
But Monroe, which was outrebounded, 31-19, trailed by 14 at the half, then opened the third quarter with a 10-2 run and outscored the home team,17-6, to make it a three-point game heading into the final quarter.
Things remained close until each member of the starting five each made a key play over the final five minutes to keep the McCarrick lead safe.

Q: When I grow tomatoes, I constantly cut back the side shoots so that my plants are relatively bare except for the tomato blooms. Is this the proper way to prune tomato plants or should I leave all the foliage on the plants?
A: That's overdoing it. Tomatoes need leaves to produce the energy that feeds the plant and fruits, plus the leaves also help keep direct sun off the ripening fruits and prevent a spoiling condition called "sunscald."
Pinching out some of the suckers is a good idea, but it should be done with discretion.
Here's the bottom line. If you let a tomato plant grow however it wants, it'll spend a lot of energy growing a lot of foliage and producing a lot of fruit. The tradeoff is that you'll get smaller fruits and a lot of small, green fruits that won't ripen before frost.
The main reasons gardeners began pinching out suckers was to force more energy into fewer fruits. You won't get the quantity you would without pinching, but you'll get bigger fruits, earlier fruits, and some say, better tasting fruits. If you pinch off all suckers later in the season, the plant also will focus on ripening that last round of fruit instead of working on yet another new round. And pinching keeps plants from growing out of bounds and toppling cages and stakes.
Suckers, by the way, are those little shoots that grow out of the joint between two stems. They'll grow into their own stems that produce fruit and send out even more suckers and side shoots.
One grower of huge tomatoes suggests allowing a total of 18 suckers/side shoots per plant. Most people also recommend pinching out suckers that pop out from late summer on. Whichever ones you pinch out, do it when the suckers are as young as possible to minimize damage. And don't get too carried away.

After six weeks of near perfection, Alabama A&M has dropped two games in a row. Now, at 6-2 (5-2 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference), the Bulldogs are in a tie for first-place in the SWAC's eastern division with Alabama State (5-3, 5-2). They will need a to win their remaining two conference games against Southern and Jackson State and get a little help to have a chance to play beyond the regular season. Jackson State (4-4, 4-2) was idle last week but owns the head-to-head against the Hornets.
The Bulldogs will take on Southern at home Saturday. The game is scheduled for a 1 p.m. kickoff at Louis Crews Stadium in Normal. The contest will be the SWAC TV Game of the Week and aired live on www.swac.org.
"You have to take care of what you have to take care of," Alabama A&M coach Anthony Jones said. "We have a tough team coming in here this week in Southern. They beat us last year. So, we have a tough road to hold."
Turnovers were the Bulldogs' undoing in a 21-20 loss on homecoming to Alcorn State. Bulldogs' quarterback Deaunte Mason threw pair of interceptions, his only two picks of the season, against the Braves.
"We made some mistakes. They were in the form of turnovers," Jones said of the loss to Alcorn. "We ended up losing the game by one point."
They struggled defending the deep ball in a 31-13 loss to rival Alabama State in the 71st State Farm Magic City Classic at Birmingham's Legion Field this past Saturday. Their top-rated pass defense gave up five receptions of 20 yards or more, including three that went for more than 50 yards.
"They made the plays that they had to make," Jones said. "That's what it takes to win ball games. They played a great football game against us and we didn't. Like I said before, they had something to do with it. So, there goes two losses."
The Bulldogs will certainly want to sure up their pass defense against Southern (3-5, 2-4). Jaguars' junior quarterback Dray Joseph leads the conference in passing. He's completed 140 of 244 passes for 1,730 yards and 17 touchdowns while throwing six interceptions.
He threw for 317 yards and four touchdowns without being picked off in their 49-29 loss at home against Prairie View.
Jones said the Bulldogs can either pack it in or straighten up and fly right.
"If you try to make this the season, you can make it the season. The season's over," Jones said. "If you don't, there are a lot of teams in this country that have two losses. We gotta find our way to get off this stump and get back into the winner's circle or at least get back to playing a good football game."

ESL is an acronym that stands for "English as a Second Language," and is used to not only describe the field of study, but the profession itself. It's a growing profession, one that is important given the 50% increase during the past 25 years of the number of non-English speakers at home, according to a report for the Center for Immigration Studies. You may have heard other acronyms too, such as TESOL, "Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages."
"It's a rewarding and enjoyable profession," says Tasha Bleistein, Ph.D., the Director of Online TESOL Programs at Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, California. "For those who enjoy learning about cultures and helping equip students to reach educational, career, and life goals, it is a very fulfilling profession."
Tasha Bleistein, Ph.D., the Director of Online TESOL Programs at Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, California.
There are many paths to becoming an ESL instructor, and Dr. Bleistein notes that many of the students in her program have experienced teaching English as a volunteer and realized it is enjoyable to work with English language learners. Others realized they wanted to pursue a career teaching English and completed undergraduate degrees in fields such as English, linguistics or education. A career in ESL does require a degree, she notes, and training is most commonly available at the master's degree level.
Degree Programs in TESOL/ESL
According to the TESOL International Association, more than 300 universities in the US have a TESOL program. Degree types vary by program and include the following examples:
- Master of Education in TESOL
- Master of Arts in TESOL
- Master of Arts in Teaching - TESOL
- Master of Science in Applied Linguistics
- Master of Arts in English - TESOL specialization
- Master of Arts in TESOL - K-12 Certification
Generally speaking, ESL master's degree programs are designed for three types of students: individuals who are currently teaching in K-12 settings, for those that want to teach in the K-12 public education system, and for those who desire to teach ESL in a variety of non-public school system settings. Although curriculum varies by program, students develop an understanding of intercultural communication and equips them with the skills to teach English to individuals where English is a foreign, second or international language. Example coursework includes the following.
- Introduction to Second Language Acquisition
- TESOL Pedagogy
- Systems of New English Language
- Methods of Teaching English Language Learners
Graduation data from the National Center for Education Statistics reveals that more than 3,000 students completed a master's degree in TESOL during the 2012-2013 school year. The table below outlines the ten universities that graduated the most students with a TESOL master's during 2012-2013.

Online ESL Programs
In addition to campus-based options, many universities offer online ESL programs for students. These online programs include several types of academic awards, including everything from a master's degree to a certificate.
Master's Degree Programs
Master's programs are usually 33- to 36-credit hours in length and are designed for different types of students. Students may choose from different programs such as the Master of Arts/Science or Master of Education (MEd) -- which is designed for K-12 and adult education teachers. Some programs may require students to complete a practicum and, in many cases, can be conducted in the educator's own classroom. Students may enroll full- or part-time and can graduate in as little as 18 months.
"We use a cohort model online that allows students to develop relationships and support each other through the program," says Dr. Bleisten. "And, most students follow a full-time schedule that includes 12 required courses, at least low intermediate proficiency in a second language, attend a conference, and complete a final portfolio."
Online programs are complementary and students experience the same academic rigors as their campus-based counterparts. For example, Dr. Bleistein explains that students in the online program at Asuza Pacific work through a variety of assignments weekly, such as reading, watching presentations and spend considerable time online interacting with classmates and their professors.
Graduate Certificate Programs
Graduate certificate programs are designed for different purposes, and could be fitting for career changers, K-12 educators that want to earn an ESL endorsement, and professionals that desire to teach English abroad. Graduate ESL certificates are typically 15- to 18-credit hours in length and curriculum focuses on practical instruction in ESL principles and teaching techniques.
ESL Career Paths and Opportunities
Potential career paths in ESL are diverse, ranging from adult education to community work, K-12 teaching to curriculum design. Because there are so many different types of ESL teaching jobs across the US, it is difficult to pin down a specific career path and subsequent salary for teachers in the space. However, recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that the career opportunities for teachers in general is quite good nationwide.
|Total Employed
|Average Salary
|Job Growth
|Elementary School Teachers
|Middle School Teachers
|High School Teachers
|Adult Basic and Secondary Education and Literacy Teachers and Instructors
Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2014
Is an ESL Degree the Right Choice?
According to Dr. Bleistein, convenience is the most obvious benefit of online programs as students can complete their work at the time of day that works for them. Prospective students should take time to research the various options available to them and consider if they are a good fit for and online program. "I encourage prospective students to consider their learning styles and needs, as well their professional goals, financial resources, and amount of time they have available to commit to an online course of study." If students require regular face-to-face time with classmates and instructors, then Bleistein suggests an online program may not actually be a good fit.
Ultimately, some people are naturally inclined to ESL. "Besides strong English language skills (which indicate the person will be a strong teacher), we look for someone who enjoys working with learners, is patient, has a history of cooperating with colleagues, and works diligently." If a student matches that profile, then an education -- and career -- in ESL could be a perfect match.

New Orleans' plan to turn part of the soon-to-be-vacant Naval Support Activity-East Bank site in Bywater into an emergency operations center for the city and perhaps the region has been approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Mayor Mitch Landrieu's office said Tuesday.
Under the city's plan, the site would house a disaster management center and essential personnel during a catastrophe, store essential supplies and equipment, and provide space for other agencies to deliver services associated with disaster management and recovery.
Additionally, 2.5 acres of the 25-acre site at the foot of Poland Avenue will be used to develop "permanent supportive housing" for the homeless, as called for by federal laws governing the closure and redevelopment of surplus military facilities.
The reuse plan, created during the administration of former Mayor Ray Nagin and submitted to federal authorities in late 2009, also called for using parts of the site to house a technology and research training center, multifamily housing and neighborhood shops. It further suggested providing hundreds of parking spaces for a proposed nearby cruise ship terminal and keeping 10 to 12 acres of the site as green space.
Consultants said implementing all the recommendations would cost about $90 million, with the sources of financing for most of them uncertain.
Landrieu's office said the HUD approval covers the entire redevelopment plan, but the mayor's statement focused only on the disaster management center, which he said "will provide crucial services during emergency situations."
He said: "Disaster management and recovery has become an industry that will spur economic growth in our region, and this project presents an opportunity to center that industry in New Orleans. The site is expected to create 1,600 construction jobs and nearly 1,000 permanent jobs in the future."
Landrieu gave no details on when the emergency center might open or where the money for it will come from.
The Naval Support Activity between Poland Avenue and the Industrial Canal was built in 1919 for the Army Quartermaster Corps. During World War II, it was an Army deployment hub known as the New Orleans Port of Embarkation. In 1966, it was transferred to the Navy and became the Naval Support Activity.
The site contains three six-floor buildings totaling 1.5 million square feet, including 1 million square feet of air-conditioned office space. The base also offers 1,800 parking spaces, including 1,100 spaces in one of the three buildings, plus extensive recreational facilities and a parade ground.
With the site's current tenants, the Naval Reserve and Marine Corps Reserve commands, due to complete moving out by mid-September, the Defense Department designated the base as surplus. Before any decisions on the site's future could be made, though, federal law mandated a complex planning process.
A city task force and consultants looked at scenarios that involved keeping all three buildings, demolishing one building or demolishing all three. They settled on the option of keeping all three, or at least large parts of them.
"HUD's approval of the reuse plan is another step toward reusing and fully redeveloping this historic facility," said Cedric Grant, deputy mayor in charge of infrastructure and community development. "This project will enhance our local economy and local tax revenues while preserving and protecting the unique character of the facility."
Belinda Little-Wood, executive director of the city's task force, said, "The concept of a centralized disaster management center was suggested in a public meeting, and that became the fundamental model explored by the planning team."
Until the city takes control of the site, the military is likely to retain responsibility for its maintenance.

The financial plan is a key part of your company's business plan. It not only helps you plan your startup costs and estimate income and expenses, but it is also essential to getting financing from lenders or investors.
The Financial Statement
First, a financial plan should include a financial statement that consists of the following three parts.
- Income statement: Also called the profit and loss statement, or P&L, it details the profit or loss the business will generate.
- Cash flow statement: Functioning a little like a check register for a checking account, this details the amount of cash coming into and going out of your business.
- Balance sheet: This shows the company's assets and liabilities (debt owed). Assets plus liabilities equal net worth or equity in the business.
How Much Detail?
A startup business should show monthly details in the cash flow and income statements for the first year of business, along with quarterly information for two more years.
Analysis and Budgeting
Most startups should also include a break-even analysis. This shows the amount of revenue you need to recover your startup costs (break even) and start making a profit.
Your financial plan also needs to include a startup and operations budget, showing the total capital needed to start the business and how much you will need to run it. This budget should include things such as wages and salaries, benefits, rent, insurance, equipment, taxes, advertising and marketing expenses, utilities, and the cost of goods sold.
Other Factors to Consider
If you're using your business plan to look for a loan, you need to specify how much capital you're looking for, how you plan to use the money and how it will benefit your business, desired terms of the loan, and any collateral you have available. If you'll be using your business plan to approach angels, venture capitalists, or other equity investors, you need to detail how much capital you are seeking, what you plan to use the money for and how it will help your business, and any additional capital infusions you expect to need in the next five years.
Investors will always want to know your expected return on investment (ROI); they're typically seeking a high rate of return. Keep in mind that investors or lenders will probably want you to include your personal financial statements as well.
Your accountant, business plan templates, and the many accounting software tools on the market can help you create the financial section of your business plan and determine what you need to include.

Reviews for Assistance League Of St. Louis
We have been receiving the AL Activity Kits featuing "Al Bear" for sometime, and they have really made a possitive difference. These kits which we receive from Assistance League of St. Louis really seem to break the ice with the siblings of our NICU babies.
Our parents/families are often too worried and focused on the baby in the NICU, to remember to bring along an activity or something for the sibling to concentrate on or play with. The siblings at the bedside are afraid: the NICU is a very scary place, lots of wires and alarms. Children are very aware of how the parents are feeling, anxiuos, scared, worried, and they take these feeling to heart. The activity books help occupy the siblings so the parents can visit with their babies, plus it makes them feel special and loved.
I remember one girl inparticular who couldn't beleive she could keep the coloring book, crayons and bendable toy tiger. She was so happy she couldn't stop smiling, This had really made her day.
We also give the kits to children in our waiting area when they are waiting for a family member to deliver. It is very difficult for children to wait patiently hour after hour for a family member to give birth to a baby.
These kits have been invaluable in helping siblings, parents and nursing staff have a possitive experence in our NICU and waiting area.
Thank you,
Carlotta Corso-Klippel

Formation and shape of InAs nanoparticles on GaAs surfaces17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590547View Description Hide Description
The conclusions of published experimental work that InAs deposited under As-rich conditions on GaAs(001) at 770 K forms nanoparticles whose flat surfaces are the {136} family of planes, whereas that InAs remains flat on GaAs(110), on GaAs(111)A but not on GaAs(111)B, are considered. It is shown that these results are consistent with the behavior of the crystallographically anisotropicsurface tension of the strain-free solid on a molten monolayer, the liquid phase being induced by solid phase heteroepitaxial stress. For the diamond structure, the surface tension is a minimum for (111) and a maximum for (001). Particle formation and shape depend on surface free energy minimization of the particle and substrate surfaces in conjunction. The molar entropy of liquidInAs at 770 K is calculated to be intermediate to that of the liquid and solid phases at the zero pressure melting point of 1215 K.
Application of scanning tunneling microscopy to aluminum nanocluster deposition on silicon17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590548View Description Hide Description
As a substitution material for gold,aluminum and especially its nanocluster form deposited on a clean siliconsurface are important for the electronic industry. In this article, a scanning tunneling microscope has been used to deposit nanoscale aluminum clusters on a clean stepped Si(111) surface by applying bias pulses to the tip–sample tunneling junction. It has been found that thresholds for the bias pulses exist for the deposition of aluminumnanoclusters for both positive and negative voltages. By operating around these thresholds, rather small (down to 3 nm) aluminum clusters can be generated. However, positive and negative bias pulses tend to give different nanocluster types, and this can be explained in terms of field evaporation mechanism by considering the evaporation field intensity changes during the deposition process.
Electrochemical microprocess by scanning ion-conductance microscopy17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590549View Description Hide Description
An electrochemical microprocess method by scanning ion-conductance microscopy (SICM) has been developed to process microcircuits and microstructures on sample surfaces. A metalelectrode inside an electrolyte-filled micropipette and an electrolyte-covered conducting surface are employed as the anode and the cathode, respectively. As the pipette approaches the surface, the flow of ions through the opening of the pipette tip is blocked by the surface at short distances, thus the ion conductance decreases. A feedback system is then used to obtain a given ion conductance, and in turn to maintain a constant tip–surface gap. Due to the mechanism of electrolysis, when a dc voltage is applied between the two electrodes, microstructures such as dots, lines and squares can be processed (electroplated) on the surface as the tip scans laterally over it. Similar to the resolution of SICM, the linewidth of the processed microstructures is approximately on the same order of the inner diameter (ID) of the tip. Using the micropipette with a tip of 1.5 μm ID, we successfully processed some lines of 2.0 μm width on an surface. As a future aim, the electrochemical microprocess method provides the possibility of fabricating microcircuits and microstructures with linewidth on the order of 0.1–1 μm by using the micropipettes which have IDs of order 0.1 μm.
Quantifying surface topography and scanning probe image reconstruction17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590550View Description Hide Description
Scanning probe microscopy(SPM) is used widely for the characterization of topographic structure in both material and bio-sciences. However, due to the finite size of the imaging tip, the SPM may not record all of the surface. Dimensional measurements made on such surfaces will not reflect the true nature of the surface. Simulated images have been used to assess the effects of imaging and image reconstruction methods on surface roughness and dimensional measurements. A novel combination of image reconstruction techniques and connectivity criteria is used to set bounds on the certainty of dimensional and topographic measures and to obtain more information about the spatial complexity of the sample surface. A more complete description of the sample is obtained without prior knowledge of the sample or tip geometry.
Analysis of a micromachine based vacuum pump on a chip actuated by the thermal transpiration effect17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590551View Description Hide Description
A novel technique to create a vacuum pump on an integrated circuit chip is presented. This pump consists of small tubes operating in the free molecular flow regime, connected to larger, although still miniature, viscousflow chambers. The gas is alternately heated and cooled as it traverses these tubes and chambers, the thermal transpiration effect creating a mass flow and compression in each stage. The pump has no moving parts, eliminating wear and particulate generation and increasing reliability, also the power required is low, in the milliwatt range, permitting battery power for portability; no valves are required; and the pump is silent, with no noise being generated. An analysis is given for sizing the dimensions of the free molecular tubes and the continuum cells. Two examples are provided for a vacuum pump compressing from 3 up to 152 Torr at flow rates of 2E-4 and 2E-3 sccm, the latter case having the connecting tubes in transition (Knudsen number of 1). These parameters are appropriate for the first roughing pump of a "mass spectrometer on a chip" gas sensor.
Atomic force microscope observation of plasmid deoxyribose nucleic acid with restriction enzyme17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590552View Description Hide Description
We have observed plasmid deoxyribose nucleic acid(DNA), in real space images, before and after treating with restriction enzyme (Pvu II or Hinc II) using an atomic force microscope(AFM). The enzyme is recognized on DNA even in the absence of ions. In the presence of on the other hand, direct evidence was obtained that the enzyme could bind to circular plasmid DNA without cutting and cleaved it at the site corresponding to the specificity. Lengths of the DNA fragments observed by AFM were consistent with the values estimated by agarose gelelectrophoresis. In addition, as substrates for the AFM observation, rutile single crystal surface was found to be effective in expanding and fixing the DNA molecules as straight chains along the stepped surface.
Scanning tunneling microscopy tip shape imaging by "shadowing": Monitoring of in situ tip preparation17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590659View Description Hide Description
The shape of the scanning tunneling microscope(STM) tip was imaged with nanometer resolution using "shadow images." When a Ge molecular beam is evaporated from the side onto a Si sample while the STM tip is stationary in tunneling position close to the sample surface, the tip shades part of the sample surface. Subsequent imaging of this shadow area with the STM results in contrast between areas on the sample where Ge was evaporated, and areas where the Ge flux was impeded by the tip. This method was applied to monitor the tip shape after in situ tip preparation processes, like sputtering and heating of the tip.
Field emission microscopy study of cesium adsorbed on and17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590553View Description Hide Description
Field emission microscopy was used to investigate the thermal desorption of cesium from and surfaces. Described is a method of extracting the work function and effective emitting area from the Fowler–Nordheim data with minimum assumptions. Work functions were measured after heating at successively higher desorption temperatures, assuming a value of 2.2 eV for the cesium saturated surface. The minimum value of the work function for the cesium coated surface was 2.04±0.1 eV, while that of the surface was 1.74±0.05 eV. Average work functions of the thermally cleaned and surfaces were found to be 3.78 eV and 5.44 eV, respectively. Activation energies for thermal desorption of cesium from and were found to be 1.1±0.1 and 0.71±0.2 eV, respectively.
Interaction of with active Spindt-type molybdenum field emitter arrays17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590554View Description Hide Description
Electron emission from molybdenumfield emission microcathode arrays is sensitive to the contamination of the emitters by the residual gases. We studied the effects of exposures on the emission properties of several Spindt-type molybdenumfield emitter arrays. Exposure of the field emitters to resulted in emission degradation ranging from for 50 L to 90.7% for a 4000 L exposure.
Electron field emission from a silicon subsurface based on a generalized Airy function approach17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590555View Description Hide Description
An analytical approach in calculating electron field emission current from a silicon subsurface layer is presented. By employing a nontriangular quantum well model for the silicon subsurface layer, wave functions of electrons in the silicon subsurface layer are given on the basis of generalized Airy functions. After tunneling through a vacuum barrier, the electrons from the silicon subsurface layer are represented by outgoing waves at infinity. Such a boundary condition results in a complex subband-state energy, which simultaneously provides a subband energy level and a tunneling probability per unit time. A negative differential resistance characteristic is shown, being consistent with the experimental result.
Electron field emission from a patterned diamondlike carbon flat cathode17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590556View Description Hide Description
A 300-nm-thick diamondlike carbon (DLC) film was deposited on to a heavily doped n-type Si (111) wafer by filtered arc deposition. A flat thin film cylindrical emitter array was then fabricated by reactive-ion etching the DLC film. Its electron field emission properties were studied using a simple diode structure. A field emission current of 0.1 μA was detected under an electric field of 5.2 V/μm. As large as 64.1 mA/cm2 of field emission current density was achieved after an activation process under a 39 V/μm field. An image formed on the anode screen showed that electron field emission from the DLC flat emitter array is rather uniform. The field emission behavior is also consistent with Fowler–Nordheim theory. Hydrogen plasma surface treatments were found to enhance the field emission properties.
Single-mask silicon microtriode17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590557View Description Hide Description
A single-mask structure for a micrometer-sized silicon triode (microtriode) is proposed. The fabrication of the device has been optimized to produce a suspended chromium gate above a pyramidal siliconcathode. The gate approaches from the side, in the same plane as the anode.Field emission between the anode and cathode in diode-mode operation in atmosphere has been confirmed. Diode-mode operation of the device is suitable for sensor applications.
Novel fabrication technique for 0.1 μm T-shaped gate with i-line negative resist and poly(methylmethacrylate)17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590558View Description Hide Description
We report on a novel fabrication technique for 0.1 μm T-shaped gates using electron beam and i-line lithography. This technique adopts a TLOR-N001 (i-line negative resist)/950k poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) bilayer system. From Fourier-transform infrared spectrumanalysis, we found a 70 nm mixed layer of PMMA and TLOR was formed at the interface of these resists which offers suitable overcut resist profile for the T-shaped gate but also enhances the resistance of the PMMA against dry etching. By utilizing this process, we obtained a 0.12 μm gate length T-shaped gate and applied it to the fabrication of an AlGaAs/InGaAs pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor with a and as high as 66 and 190 GHz.
Enhanced pattern area density proximity effect correction17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590559View Description Hide Description
In this article, we describe and analyze the sources of correction error in the pattern area density proximity effect correction (PADPEC) method of Murai et al. [F. Murai, H. Yoda, S. Okazaki, N. Saitou, and Y. Sakitani, J. Vac. Sci. Technol. B 10, 3072 (1992)]. By focusing on the dominant contribution to the overall error, we are able to enhance the technique further, developing the enhanced PADPEC, or EPADPEC method. EPADPEC further reduces linewidth errors by factors ranging from 4 to 11, while increasing the computation time by a factor of only 1.23. [Migrating EPADPEC to a dedicated (parallel) environment will enable the data throughput rate to be dramatically increased.]
Factors contributing to sidewall roughness in a positive-tone, chemically amplified resist exposed by x-ray lithography17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590560View Description Hide Description
As device critical dimensions continue to decrease, sidewall roughness will become increasingly important. To address this issue, we have measured the sidewall roughness of a positive-tone, chemically amplified resist, Shipley APEX-E exposed by X-ray radiation. We have also examined factors that contribute to the overall sidewall roughness such as mask roughness, the development process, variations in aciddiffusion, shot noise, and the effects of acid volatility. The overall sidewall roughness for fully developed nested lines, under normal processing conditions, is on the order of 4.3 nm root-mean-square (rms) and shows no dose dependence. Isolated lines, however, do demonstrate a dose-dependent sidewall roughness. Samples exposed with doses of 60–100 mJ/cm2 exhibit a monotonically decreasing trend in roughness from 6.5 to about 4.5 nm rms, respectively. The development process, in tandem with pattern-specific parameters, appears to cause this difference in the roughness between nested and isolated lines. The use of different masks and the development process are major contributors to the overall sidewall roughness. Differences in sidewall roughness due to the use of different masks are estimated to be about 1.5 nm rms. Roughness contributions from the development process are on the order of 2–3 nm rms and are shown to be time and concentration dependent. Other processing parameters, such as changing the post-exposure bake temperature and utilizing a top coat, have minor effects on the overall sidewall roughness.
Sub-100 nm KrF lithography for complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor circuits17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590561View Description Hide Description
Sub-100 nm metal–oxide–semiconductor field effect transistor gate structures have been fabricated using resolution-enhanced 248 nm optical lithography. We employed the chromeless phase-shift approach together with thin resists and optimized etches to achieve these results. Polysilicon gratings with critical dimension (CD)≈60 nm and TiN (damascene) gratings with CD≈35 nm have been fabricated with good process latitudes. We are applying this process to the fabrication of basic test circuits for an aggressively scaled silicon on insulator complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor technology.
Effect of Coulomb interaction and pKa on acid diffusion in chemically amplified resists17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590562View Description Hide Description
Aciddiffusion plays an important role in chemically amplified resists. Acids are generated from acid generators upon deep ultraviolet light (DUV) irradiation. Physically, what the DUV illumination creates is an electrolyte solution in a nonequilibrium state. In addition to the force due to the concentration gradient, a charged particle undergoing diffusion motion experiences a dielectricfriction force from the medium and the Coulomb force created by the surrounding charged particles. The Coulomb force between charged particles can be very important in a medium with a low dielectric constant. In such a case, the diffusivity of the counter ion can have a great impact on the "effective diffusivity" of the acid. The diffusion of acid and its counter ion are correlated strongly. Besides the Coulomb interaction, the acid-base chemical equilibrium also affects aciddiffusion. In this article, a simple model of aciddiffusion including the effects of acid-base equilibrium and Coulomb interaction is proposed. The theory proposed here shows that the "effective" acid diffusivity is mainly determined by the diffusivity of its counter ion, which can account for the acid generator size effect on aciddiffusion observed in experiments.
Study on characterizing fluorocarbon polymer films deposited on an inner surface during high-aspect-ratio contact hole etching using secondary ion mass spectroscopy17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590563View Description Hide Description
Characterization of fluorocarbon films deposited on sidewall and bottom surfaces during high-aspect-ratio contact hole etching has been investigated by secondary ion mass spectrometry(SIMS). Very high-aspect-ratio contacts, with hole diameters ranging from 0.06 to 0.18 μm, were etched in 1 μm thick films with polycrystalline Si hard masks by high density or plasmagenerated by a dipole ring-type magnetron reactive ion etching reactor. A series of SIMS studies for test element group chips with high density contact holes first reveal that the SIMS profiles obtained from the etched samples qualitatively exhibit a good measure of fluorocarbon profiles on the inner surfaces of the high-aspect-ratio contact holes. Quantitative evaluation is also discussed further. Fluorocarbon films on the sidewalls polymerized from plasma show a great accumulation of C-rich films at an aspect ratio of around 4. With an increasing aspect ratio of more than approximately 8, the polymers are found to change from C-rich to F-rich films. On the other hand, fluorocarbon films on the sidewalls polymerized from plasma are more uniform, much more fluorinated, and much thinner than those of the plasma. Both polymers show a clear C pileup on the Si substrates at the bottom of the contact holes even for sub-0.1 μm contacts. This work successfully demonstrates the usefulness of the SIMS measurement for characterizing high-aspect-ratio contacts down to sub-0.1 μm diameters.
Focused ion beam micromilling of GaN and related substrate materials (sapphire, SiC, and Si)17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590564View Description Hide Description
Micromilling of GaN films has been obtained using a focused ion beam(FIB). The GaN micromilling has been investigated over a range of energies (15–70 keV), incident angles and number of scans (10–50). At normal incidence, increasing the energy up to 50 keV increases the milling rate, while higher energies produce the same (or a slightly decreased) milling rate. Increasing the angle of incidence increases the milling rate at all energies. The highest GaNmilling rate of (corresponding to an average yield of 6.6 atoms/ion) has been obtained at 50 keV, incidence, and 50 scans. The milling rate of current substrate materials(sapphire, Si and SiC) for GaNthin film growth is shown to be 2–5 times lower. The sputtering yield is found to vary inversely with the strength of the chemical bond in the materials investigated. Distributed Bragg reflection air/GaN gratings for short cavity lasers were fabricated to show the capability of FIB micromilling to produce optoelectronic devices based on GaN.
Reactive ion beam etching of GaAs and related compounds in an inductively coupled plasma of mixture17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590565View Description Hide Description
Reactive ion beametching (RIBE) of GaAs,GaP,AlGaAs, and GaSb was performed in a mixture using an inductively coupled plasmasource. The etch rates and yields were strongly affected by ion energy and substrate temperature. The RIBE was dominated by ion-assisted etching at and by physical sputtering beyond 600 eV. The temperature dependence of the etch rates revealed three different regimes, depending on the substrate temperature: (1) sputtering-etch limited, (2) products-desorption limited, and (3) mass-transfer limited regions. GaSb showed the overall highest etch rates, while GaAs and AlGaAs were etched at the same rates. The etched features showed extremely smooth morphologies with anisotropic sidewalls.

Paradise Found - Part 1
A week in the Cayman islands…what could be better?
Well two weeks would be great but as far as the location was concerned the Cayman islands were paradise and I didn't want to leave.
First I had to get to Grand Cayman…
I had to check in at London Heathrow at 6:00am on Tuesday morning…I got to the airport on the all night Gatwick express train service that runs from Victoria station which cost about Ł10 and it worked pretty well.
I reached Gatwick tried to find the bloody terminal and check in desk…they really should write this vital information in bigger writing on the ticket…anyway I found it finally and was one of the first to check in so I got a window seat with loads of leg room - hurrah!
Next I hung around for ages in the departure lounge - I had some breakfast, read a newspaper and nodded off…Zzzzz
Okay…they have called my gate I'm off….
The flight was fine, It was with Virgin and so we all had little TV screens in our seats to watch movies on, I saw the visually spectacular Moulin Rouge and terminally dire Dr Doolittle 2…listened to bad world music and slept.
First stop Miami airport…off the plane the warmth and humidity compared with the damp cold I had just left in the UK hit me and I finally felt like I was on holiday.
As soon as I was off the plane and into the airport a security guard wanted to see my passport - I obviously look like a shady character - "How's London…Tony he's our guy" yup this was America…
Since the American World trade centre attack there had been no automatic baggage transfer in the US and so I had to collect my bag and go out through customs then check in and go through security checks again.
The security checks were very tight…I even had to undo my trousers for the woman to wave her metal detector wand thing around. In Miami airport it would be an advantage to be able to speak Spanish.
Okay onto the next plane -Cayman Airways with its little pirate turtle logo on the plane's tail. This flight to the island lasted just 2 hours and went very smoothly.
I stepped off
the plane into humid warmth, it was great - into the airport for more security
checks…"how do you plan to support yourself on the island" etc…
After about 15 hours of travel I finally got in a taxi that would take me to my hotel - the Marriott on seven mile beach.
I should explain the reason for the trip - I am not prone to jetting off to exotic climes, this was my parents 30th wedding anniversary and the second time in my life we were to have a family holiday, my sister and her husband who live in the states were flying also to meet with us.
I arrived at the hotel and greeted my parents who had flown out earlier in the week. I had a quick tour but I was tired and it was time to hit the sack. The hotel was practically on the beach and I wasn't going to go to sleep without seeing the sea.
I collected up a fallen coconut from the hotel pool with terrapin eyes upon me, walked to the beach and ripped the husk of the nut smashed it on the steps and ate half of the white flesh inside. The sky was so clear and star bright - I went up the hotel lift to bed and slept like a log.
be continued…

AMERIPEN to launch recycling projects
AMERIPEN to launch recycling projects
By Editorial Staff, Resource Recycling
An alliance of packaging firms is carefully assessing what works in municipal recycling systems. The group will then use the research findings to undertake a number of projects designed to boost the recycling of packaging.
The American Institute for Packaging and the Environment is conducting an assessment of the recycling systems used by America's 100 largest cities. The goal is to determine the best practices used by these communities, especially in the areas of recycling infrastructure, public education and governmental policies. The survey, which is currently underway, should help AMERIPEN leaders decide the best opportunities to improve packaging recovery. This will lead to a number of projects that are expected to be launched by the end of 2013.

Brady completed 21 of 27 passes for 341 yards and four touchdowns. He finished with a perfect 158.3 passer rating. It is the 16th time that Brady has earned the honor.
Brady also broke his franchise record of consecutive pass attempts without an interception, which is now stands at 199.
By finishing with a perfect passer rating, Brady joins Peyton Manning (3) and Kurt Warner (3) as the only players in NFL history to do so more than once.
Brady is the second New England player to win a Player of the Week Award. Safety James Sanders was named Defensive Player of the Week following the Patriots 39-26 win in Pittsburgh in Week 10.

Seductively inscrutable
By Michael O'Sullivan
Friday, September 3, 2010
It's no spoiler to reveal that "Mesrine" doesn't end well. "Public Enemy No. 1," the second half of the two-part French drama -- which opened Aug. 27 with an installment called "Killer Instinct" -- begins with a shot of the protagonist's bullet-riddled body slumped over the wheel of his car. Based on real events, the "Mesrine" films tell the story of gangster Jacques Mesrine, who was gunned down by police in 1979 after a nearly two-decade career of brazen bank robberies, kidnappings, killings and prison breaks.
So if we know how it all turns out, what's the point of the exercise?
That's a good question. Taken together, both films run more than four hours and include more than a few crime-movie cliches, beyond the foreshadowing of the story's unhappy ending.
The answer, of course, is Vincent Cassel. The actor, who won a Cesar award, or French Oscar, for his portrayal of the mercurial and at times brutal criminal, is a thing of beauty.
Strange beauty, to be sure. Cassel's face -- characterized by the underbite of a French boxer dog, a prominent nose and penetrating, almost froglike eyes set above deep bags -- can approach ugly at times. Ah, but when he smiles as Mesrine, which he does with the same frequency and explosive intensity that his character shoots people, you can't take your eyes off him. Cassel's volatile screen presence alone -- sexy one minute, terrifying the next -- is worth the price of admission, not to mention a sore rump.
"You amuse people," Mesrine's attorney tells him at one point, "but you scare them, too." Later, when that same attorney is smuggling guns to her client to facilitate his escape from prison, it's unclear which of those reasons has motivated her career-jeopardizing move. At the same time, the plausibility of her actions is never in doubt. Cassel, as Mesrine, is that magnetic. You'll root for his antihero even as you're appalled by his depravity.
Unfortunately, even an actor that charismatic is unable to shed much light on Mesrine's dark soul. He remains something of a cipher, even after four-plus hours.
To be sure, there's a bit more talk in "Public Enemy" about fighting the "system" than there is in "Killer Instinct." The second film takes place between 1973 and 1979, an era marked by violent radicalism in Europe. But, as one of Mesrine's partners in crime points out, you're not fighting the system if you use your ill-gotten gains to run out and buy expensive jewelry and booze for the latest of your lovers, as Mesrine does. You're feeding it.
Mesrine is certainly not the first unknowable, or even contradictory, movie villain. There's something vicariously compelling about the charming if inscrutable bad guy. But two long films is a lot to ask people to sit through without offering some insight. Director Jean-Fran?ois Richet and screenwriter Abdel Raouf Dafri's movie generates much heat, but little light.
In other words, no one will question how Mesrine was able to seduce (and in some cases corrupt) people: attorneys, lovers, partners, family members, journalists. If Cassel can turn the charm on and off so easily, so, presumably, could Mesrine. The question we're left with in the end isn't how he did what he did, but why.
Contains strong violence, obscenity, nudity and sex scenes. In French with English subtitles.

While it's true that getflash-1.2 is a script I don't think it's capable at this stage of fetching flashplayer for the x86_64 or ARM (or any other) arches at this stage. Maybe common?

Ok, I have moved it to the 'common' repo.
Posted on 10 Oct 2012, 5:33 by 01micko
Another which you may want to stick in common is cups-1.4.8. I have built a slacko-184.108.40.206 beta (with slackware-14.0 binaries) with cups-1.4.6 (wary), ghostscript-8.64 (rcrsn51) and gutenprint-5.2.9 (slackware) and it works really well, no-one has reported any printing issues to do with that setup. Although it doesn't matter, I just copied your entry in the DITRSO_PKGS_SPECS-slackware-14.0 from your Precise specs.
I'll be ready to give you the patches for woof soon to build from slackware-14.0, but there are some weird problems which will need your input. One, is that slackware have moved to "kmod", (module-init-tools is deprecated) and that presents some problems with depmod. I have work arounds but they require hacks to some system bootup files. Please see PM for another critical issue.

Labour MP Rob Flello: The government should not 're-write' marriage
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
I'm sick of this hypocrite already.
Separate is never equal, you idiot!
Why is he still a shadow minister? Labour should be kicking him out so fast that he doesn't even bounce.
It's both risible and worrying that he is a shadow justice minister.
It's very easy to say you're in favour of equality when you get to decide what equality actually means. If you set up your own definition of what it means to be equal then clearly you're going to meet it every time. It doesn't make you a supporter of equality though.
Mr Flello are gay couples allowed to marry in the same way as straight couples? No? Then we're treated unequally – not the sharpest tool in the box are we Mr Flello.
It is entirely within the State's remit to rewrite the fundamental nature of marriage (although I would argue that this change doesn't do that) as it did when the state legalised divorce, property rights for married women, civil marriage and so on and so on. You clearly haven't got a clue what you're talking about so blinded are you by your faith and your marching orders from Rome.
We must demand the resignation of this man as Shadow Justice minister. He is utterly flawed. If he does not resign Miliband must sack him with out delay.
Marriage has been rewritten before – to allow divorce, and in the Married Woman's Property Act for a start.
The government also rewrote suffrage by allowing women the vote – should we not have done that then? Let's just stick to how things have been, eh?
Separate isn't equal, Flello. If you like CPs so much why don't we swap? You covert your marriage to a CP and I'll have a civil wedding. No?
If he is so picky, why didn't he object to Charles marrying Camilla?
Might have affected his future job prospects I suppose.
Iris, I wish MPs who support equal marriage would pose the question to those in opposition. They all claim CPs are equal but have you noticed they never say they are equal to marriage because it would then open up a can of worms for them, having to concede that they are interchangeable which they aren't. I've yet to hear one MP counter Flello's statement, but of course, it won't happen. I dare any opponent to admit that CPs are equal to marriage.
So he's just confirmed that he is a religious bigot…
No explanation really as to why he is against equal civil marriage and no explanation as to why he thinks the Quakers etc should have no right to their religious beliefs.
He really shouldn't be a shadow minister and it's a joke for him to be given the position of a Justice minister. He doesn't know the meaning of that word as well.
This is simply appalling. As it is a free vote I have no problem with MPs taking any position for or against. However a shadow justice minister must back the shadow cabinet position. I hope it is only a matter of time before this particular politician finds opposing equality to be a career limiting move. I hope the time comes he drops off the front bench (now or in a few months time) and that he never clambers back onto it.
To be honest his position just sounds ill-informed if anything. We should sit him down with an intellectual for a little while and get them to explain the words 'equality' and 'education'.
The law is constantly being rewritten and always has been. We are talking about the law not religious belief. It's called progress.
Why are we funding people like this if the law is stagnant? We could just have a civil service over seeing never changing law.
Good point! :D Flello's talked himself out of a job, it seems. Except, of course, marriage is one of the laws religion thinks they own. Perhaps somebody should explain to Flello that religion does NOT own marriage?
write / email to Milliband and sadiq Khan about how your opposed to Flello's stance ans that he should resign from his position. They hate their mailbox being filled up with complaints and also its time to let them know how pissed off we are
as a labour supporter this man is a disgrace. he should resign his position as he does not uphold the principle of equality and justice for all
write to Milliband and Sadiq Khan stating that you disagree with Flello and alos asking that he resign- they hate their mailbox being filled up with protests.
Mr. Flello it would be far better if the church had not "re-written" marriage laws in the 1300's. You really need to get out more and read..it is fundamental. Marriage equality was readily available in Europe and England until La Palud and the popes of his era rewrote the canon laws to prohibit it.
the government has rewritten marriage many times, for f***s sake the king created a new church just so he could rewrite marriage
It seems to me that Mr. Flello is a member of the church that Henry found so unaccommodating and we all know what they are doing at the moment. To be charitable, over charitable, Mr. Flello might be having a struggle to reconcile traditional dogma and doctrine with such a modern concept as equality. I suspect that CPs for him are an act of tolerance, an accommodation. How can we "disordered" souls possibly be considered equal?
Not good enough, bud! This is a litmus test, plain as day.
If you support anything less than full marriage equality then you're a backward, evil troll, simple as that.
You shouldn't be an MP. You shouldn't be tolerated. Get lost.
'…My faith is very important to me but this is not a question of faith. The question is whether the State should re-write the fundamental nature of marriage. Given the existing legal equality I don't believe the State should…'
It would be great if he could elaborate why marriage shouldn't be rewritten, he says it has nothing to do with his faith so what other reasons are there against extending the institution to gay people
Hello!!! It might not be an issue of equality for you, but it is for us. A Civil Partnership is not the same legally as marriage. Your faith should have no bearing on equality, which is what this is all about EQUALITY.
We're all human, right? We all sleep, sh|t, eat and fvck the same don't we? It doesn't matter how we do it or who with.
Once state is separated from this religious leash it seems to want to stay attached to, then the better it will be for us all. I don't see what effect same sex marriage will have to your pitiful little life. Why are you harping on so much about preserving the fundamental nature of marriage? What marriage is, in your eyes, is based on old, outdated theologies written on some ancient strip of canvas. It's about time it was updated. This, my friend it will be; hauled into the 21st Century; anyone who doesn't want to be on the Equality Express can alight now as your reservation isn't valid.
So Labour is the new right wing party?
Don't they screen out bigots like this first?
He's digging a bigger and bigger hole for himself.
Like the Bishop of Truro-he's just wriggling and wriggling-first this way -then that- to try to avoid the UNAVOIDABLE.
He is married himself-yet he seeks to deny that basic human right to a certain minority of his constituents.
Don't do as I do- do as I tell you.
Its just not good enough- and he certainly should NOT be a member of a Labour Shadow Cabinet-ESPECIALLY JUSTICE Minister!!!
It's interesting that some news articles about him refer to his "wife", and other later ones to his "partner". Are these two people one and the same?
What an arrogant tosser. Though I can't see Milliband firing him. How would it look to give everyone a free "conscience" vote and then punish those who took him at his word.
Funny thing is though, Stoke had two elected gay Mayors in the past when they had the Elected Mayor system.
This guy has honestly shown his true colours and may lose the gay vote come election time.
Rob Flello needs to leave the Labour party and join Margate Conservatives or UKIP where they are hetrocentric
Basically this bigot is backing apartheid when it comes to marriage. As LGBT people we are not "quite" human enough to be afforded the rights heteros take for granted.
For us sittng at the back of the bus is good enough for us. I can only hope this homophobe gets the boot at the next election or is removed as Shadow Justice MInister as he's clearly not in favour of "justice" for the LGBT Community.
Just because he doesn't share your view he should be kicked out, regardless of all of the good that he done? If he can't have an opinion, then why the hell should you?
He can have an opinion, sure, it's just that his opinion is foolish enough that he should be unelectable and shamed out of office, or at the least sacked from his critic post. And it's not because he doesn't share my view in particular – a belief in equality under the law is something any MP should have, and there shouldn't be room in the Labour party for MPs who disagree.
If he had an opinion that supported the denial of equality to other groups, especially ethnic groups he would be out before his feet touched the ground. As it is he is paid by the tax payer as an MP in a party that at least pays lip service to the concept of equality and claims that equality is one of the values that it is founded on.
Rob Flello , the labour CATHOLIC shadow justice minister dishing out CATHOLIC justice on LGBT folk on behalf of the CATHOLIC church.
I suspect the staff member who said that Flello is a "religious man" has hit the nail on the head as the reason he has decided to vote against SSM. A person with so much bias can't possibly hold the position of a shadow justice minister.
The catholic church's intepretation of CPs (if any) is a "profound friendship". This is what Flello suports I suspect. He doesn't support what CPs are supposed to be.
Sack him and for heavens sake don 't vote for him again please!
Can't sack him as an MP, but they could certainly replace him as Shadow Justice Minister, and that would be an excellent thing because we're all going to have really difficult questions about him come the next election (assuming you were voting Labour).
Our rights and the judiciary and the legal system are interlinked, and we cannot be sure someone like him wouldn't somehow scupper equality legislation or try to block or deny equal and fair treatment — he is, in this area, just that which Labour despises in the Tories, unfair, incoherent as to any reasoned compelling argument for his actions.
When they said he was going to explain a little more I licked my lips, but in reality he hasn't explained his position in the slightest. He's Labour and Catholic and against it, Ian Duncan-Smith is Tory and Catholic and for it – go figure !
"My record of support for gay rights and equality for all speaks for itself."
That somehow makes you a bigot in the eyes of gay militant extremists, Mr. Flello.
Do not be intimidated by these foul-mouthed bullies into jumping into line and conforming with the herd like so many of your spineless colleagues in Parliament have done.
LOL. When it comes down to it he doesn't believe we should be treated completely as equals under the law. He thinks we should settle for some second-rate status, and that he can't be criticised for taking that position because he helped us get to that second-rate status.
His record therefore certainly does speak for itself, unfortunately not in the way he thinks it does.
Oh and imposing religion on those who aren't religious (almost three quarters of the entire country), trying to dictate to a secular government what it can and cannot do isn't militancy? When did religion invent civil marriage? If CPs are so equal, why aren't you and people like Flello campaigning to allow heterosexuals access to them, for those who don't want to marry, idiot? If CPs were to replace marriage, what would you do, what would Flello do since his marriage would no longer be valid? What about all those heterosexuals who wanted to marry? They'd be forced to leave the country to do it and upon return to the UK, find out that their marriage isn't a marriage at all but something quite different, less than marriage.
As a Jew you should be ashamed of yourself. Have you learned nothing from discrimination. Your people were considered not to be deserving of being treated equally because you were a despised minority? You're a vile disgusting man.
You're taking his word for it?!
He wasn't an MP in 2004 so we don't know if he'd have voted for Civil Partnerships or not.
What makes him a bigot is that he is prepared to put his religious views over and above the rights of other people.
Also I would suggest that in the face of the onslaught we have received from all sides it is those who are voting against gay marriage who are spineless and those voting in favour who are brave. Voting against means caving into religious bigotry or for fear you might lose your seat. Cameron is sticking to his guns in spite of everything that's being thrown at us and him over this issue. That's bravery, not kowtowing to your master in Rome or Canterbury.
I don't think you really know what you're talking about do you?
Now, correct me if I am wrong, but are religious institutions licensed by the state to conduct marriages in the first place?
I've sent a tweet to Ed Miliband asking if he will remove this man from his post. Not that I expect a response.
Good idea! I think everyone should do the same as quickly as possible.
Flello is bad, no doubt, but not THIS bad:
And people wonder why so many youngsters in London carry knives….
This man is a hypocrite and it's clear that he is taking his orders from the Pope and not from his constituents.
I am just out of hospital after a minor operation at Peterborough City Hospital. I was asked who my next of kin was. As there was no civil partnership option on the form I had to explain to the health care worker, who was was foreign, what it was. I am fed up of this lack of equality.
Unfortunately, having looked at all the things he tends to support, in Early Day Motions, and how he votes, I find myself agreeing with his voting positions on much of that, and he has made speeches time and again when he supported equality, only … in this instance .. he seems to have a total mind-wipe or mind-block where he cannot see the wood for the trees. These proposals are precisely about equality, and little else.
And if I lived in his constituency, I'd have to vote for someone else, because I could never vote for someone who wanted to keep equality from me and other people who are gay, regardless of me agreeing with so much of his other positions. When it comes to elections I vote first and foremost on equality issues.
It every single person who is gay and lives in his constituency voted for someone else he might very well lose his seat. That might mean having a LibDem who supports equal rights, maybe even a Tory who supports equal marriage rights.
Gulliver, speaking as a constituent of his, the danger would be that if we did not vote for Flello we could end up with BNP who were very strong around here prior to the last election. Less so now, I hope. I am very disappointed that he has taken this Rome rules stance.
Next thing he will be bowing before the Supreme Pontiff of Rome on artificial birth control and other sexual issues. He should have taken the line of President Kennedy " I do not speak for my church on public matters, and the church does not speak for me."

GRAND RAPIDS -- Grand Rapids Griffins center Justin Abdelkader was named to the American Hockey League's all-rookie team on Wednesday.
The former Mona Shores and Michigan State standout ranks among the AHL's rookie leaders with 22 goals (tied for fifth) and 49 points (tied for sixth).
His 22 goals also are tied for the most by a Griffins rookie. His 49 points are the second-most by a rookie in franchise history, behind Glen Metropolit's 55 in 1997-98.
"It's a big honor," Abdelkader said. "I strived to have a good rookie season all year, and it's definitely a grind, but I'm proud of it."
Abdelkader, who won the rookie of the month award for October, is the second Griffin to be named to the AHL all-rookie team, joining goaltender Jimmy Howard in 2005-06.
Abdelkader is a finalist for the AHL's rookie of the year award, which will be announced April 8.
Other members of the all-rookie team are: Nathan Gerbe (Portland), Tim Kennedy (Portland), Mattias Karlsson (Binghamton), Yannick Weber (Hamilton) and Nathan Lawson (Bridgeport).
Walsh released
The Griffins sent Mike Walsh back to Utah of the ECHL after practice on Wednesday. In 15 games with the Grand Rapids this season, he has three goals and one assist.
