Michael Eavis has denied rumours that Jay-Z is set to pull his set at this year's Glastonbury Festival and take the final headline slot at O2 Wireless Festival (3 July) instead.
According to an article in The Sun the New York rapper is displeased that organisers used him as a promotion to attract a younger audience to the festival.
The star is also said to be annoyed by the suggestions that he is to blame for the drop in registrants this year and by the way his image has been perceived on certain Internet messageboards.
However Michael Eavis, who will be personally introducing Jay-Z on stage, has confirmed that the rapper will still headline the Saturday night. He told the paper: "I spoke to his people this weekend. Everything is fine. I'm excited."
Tickets for this year's festival went on sale yesterday, but so far only 100,000 weekend tickets have been snapped up. In previous years the event has sold out within hours.
Only those who have registered with the anti-touting registration system are able to purchase tickets for this year's event.
Tickets are available online from Seetickets.com or alternatively over the phone on 0800 079 2008.
Weekend tickets for the festival cost £155 each including £5 booking fee and £4 post and packaging. For full details on how to get tickets for this year's event click HERE.
Glastonbury Festival 2008 takes place at Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset with Kings Of Leon, Jay-Z and The Verve headlining, plus loads more already either self confirmed or hotly rumoured.

To the Editor:
On behalf of my sixth-grade class, we think ''the new girl in town'' - ''The New Tri in Town'' - is exciting and uplifting! The Gillie Girl's Sprint Triathlon is a new triathlon being offered to Syracuse-area men and women. Not only is it a new sprint triathlon, it also raises money for the breast cancer research fund.
We were impressed by the founder of the Gillie Girl - Eric Prager. It is often difficult to start any new event, especially one where the participants are swimming, biking and running. We can only imagine the planning such an event must involve. It is always exciting and uplifting to have new ways our community can support breast cancer research. Good luck and kudos.

I'll make you love me till my end of time
Make my soul unwind making me a home
Holding me slowly
But I'll still be watching your every move
You know that I'll be holding on
Until you get off your horse
Make me a home, make me a home
While seeds are growing your dome
And it could have been any other
See a child only needs a mother
I don't need another bother
You know that ill be holding on
Until you get off your horse
Bring me back to the day of nothing
Bring me back to where I came from

At the recent Catholic Media Congress in Sydney, I was lucky enough to catch up with some good friends and also make some new friends from the ranks of the people who have answered the call to be involved in the business of Catholic communications in one way or another. It's always a diverse group of people at such gatherings, with a wide range of skills, but they're invariably a great bunch of folks. This year, I met a young … Continue reading
We often hear people say things like "I love God, but I can't stand the Church" or, at the very least, "I believe in God, but the Church isn't for me". It's true that we can all sometimes despair at the failings of people within the Church — often people who are in positions of influence in the Church. One person who decided to makes his views on this apparent disconnect between religion (the Church) and Jesus has become a … Continue reading
I was away over the weekend — hence no posts on the Soapbox. I was in the Blue Mountains, a lovely area about 90 minutes west of Sydney. If I hadn't already arranged that weekend away with a group of my closest friends in Canberra, I would have been in Wagga Wagga attending a men's gathering led by Catholic speaker extraordinaire Patrick Madrid. As I said to one of my friends tonight, he's probably in the top five, or certainly … Continue reading
Continuing a fairly remarkable trend over the past 17 years, the latest survey from Gallup — a very reputable company — found that 50 per cent of Americans consider themselves to be pro-life, while just 41 per cent say they are pro-choice. That has reversed the "balance of power" since 2009, when pro-choice Americans outnumbered pro-lifers 49-45. Since 1995, though, coincidentally the year I moved to the United States, the trend has been even more drastic. In that year, pro-choice Americans … Continue reading
In the past, I've made it fairly clear that I've got a lot of time for Bishop Anthony Fisher, OP, of Parramatta. I first came to know of Bishop Fisher when he was named as the head honcho for the planning of Sydney's World Youth Day to be held in 2008, so it was probably 2005 or 2006 when he first entered my consciousness. He impressed me back then, and I also came to learn of his great knowledge in … Continue reading
Well, I suppose if someone is going to steal my thunder, the man who wrote a biography of Pope John Paul II is probably a good candidate. Last night, I tweeted that I was planning to post tonight on the decision of 43 Catholic entities, including the archdioceses of New York and Washington, DC, to file a law suit against (essentially) the Obama administration over its mandate that would force employers to provide coverage for contraception and sterilisation procedures in … Continue reading
It's fair to say that most Catholics wouldn't have a great understanding of what a priest does on any given day, let alone what the duties and opportunities are that he would encounter over the course of a week. If that's true, then imagine how little a non-Catholic would know. The Archdiocese of Sydney is seeking to change that, with the vocations director for the diocese featured in a 10-minute YouTube video that travels through a typical week. Naturally, the … Continue reading
Lady Gaga is an amazingly talented musician. That is without question. What is also without question is that some of her songs are offensive to some people 0f faith and some of her costumes are a bit too risque for many people. As a result of those latter issues, people in some Asian countries have been protesting her current tour because they say she's "blasphemous". And it appears to be a cause that crosses denominational and faith lines, with Christians … Continue reading
It won't surprise anyone — I wouldn't think — for me to write that I'm a big fan of Catholic newspapers and magazines. As the former editor of a Catholic newspaper, that just makes sense. But the collective voice of Catholic publications in Australasia is a strong one. The publications have a range of frequencies from weekly through to quarterly, but if all the publications were printed on the same, there would be more than 1 million newspapers and magazines … Continue reading
So much about the Catholic Church is anathema to the secular world, and that's part of the reason why some people find the Church a bit weird. It's also a reason why many people who are put in charge of reporting on the Church are so inept at covering it — they just don't understand and don't seem interested in trying to understand. As they say, though, a picture says a thousand words. In that case, the 18,000 words that … Continue reading

I must admit, I do that too, mostly on phone. On CW I tend to use BW more with the pbt pretty much fixed. I spend more time on CW these days as well so that also drives my wish list a little I guess.

No right or wrong, just different. Unlike Martin, I use the PBT/BW and CUT controls quite often, probably second only to MULTI (and the tuning knobs of course). Here is why. I set CUT to H. This control now becomes a bandwidth control. Set PBT/BW to PBT and of course it is now the passband tuning control. Both gets lots of use, mostly used together. Very convenient for my operating style. I would not want to give up that functionality. Once I have RF and AF levels set I rarely touch them.

The Detroit Free Press's Helene St. James reports that Valtteri Filppula has reached a milestone marker in his recovery from his broken wrist, signaling an on-time return date:
November 30, Detroit Free Press: Valtteri Filppula was fitted with a soft cast today, putting him just a touch closer to returning from the broken right wrist he suffered Oct. 29 at Edmonton.
"We'll see how much longer I have to keep it on," he said. "It's tough to say – we just have to go a week at a time to see how it is healing, then get rid of the cast, and then see how it moves and everything. But now I can really skate better, so I'm looking forward to get a little more out there and skating a little longer. That's going to help going back.
"I've been antsy the whole time. I can't wait to get back playing."Filppula should be back by the end of December.

When Force India team boss announced that Sergio Perez would be joining Nico Hulkenberg to form an all-new driver pairing for the 2014 season I, for one, was excited.
Not that I have anything particular against Paul di Resta or Adrian Sutil, but the pairing of Hulkenberg and Perez pits two of the most exciting talents in the sport against one another in the same team.
Hulkenberg has always been touted as the next big thing after impressive performances for Williams and Force India, but it was the 2013 season where he really shone with some outstanding drives in a Sauber that should have been nowhere near capable of what he was able to do with it.
It was somewhat of a surprise when McLaren announced that Perez would be leaving at the end of the season. Yes, the Mexican had his moments, including clashing with teammate Jenson Button in Bahrain and crashing into Kimi Raikkonen at Monaco. But he also pulled off some gutsy overtakes and finished the season with six points-scoring finishes in seven races, including fifth and sixth places at India and Brazil. McLaren's loss certainly appears to be Force India's gain.
At the end of the season, only two points separated 10th placed Hulkenberg with 11th placed Perez, and it raises the interesting question of who will prove themselves the No. 1 driver at Force India next season.
Let's judge both drivers over four of the most fundamental sets of criteria that make up the racing driver before coming to a conclusion.

Now that most of the playoff field has been set, it makes sense to start taking a look at the teams with the best opportunity to bring home the Lombardi Trophy in New Orleans in February.
While it seems that the NFC is a vastly better conference than the AFC, there are two teams in the "junior circuit" who have legit shots at winning the Super Bowl. In my opinion, those two teams are the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos.
Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons have yet another team to worry about when it comes to winning the NFC. Those up-and-coming Seattle Seahawks have been world beaters as of late and look legit heading into Week 17 of the regular season.
Today's article is going to look at the Vegas odds as they relate to winning the Super Bowl. These odds come from a respected Vegas oddsmakers site called Betvega.

ALPENA - Around 3 p.m. today the mercury could hit a high of 37 to 39 degrees for the first time in months, forecasters said Thursday. And after a long, dragged-out winter, even a hint of warmth is being greeted with smiles.
"Someone will see 40 degrees, whether it's in Alpena or somewhere else in the area," National Weather Service meterologist Keith Berger said Thursday. "But it's not going to be a pretty, sunny 40 degrees. Still, it's appreciably warmer than we've been."
He said the weather is going into a transitionary period, with periods of cold mixed with periods of warmth.
"It's teasing us, if you will, with periods of sunshine and warmer temperatures, but not always at the same time," Berger said.
When will it get warm?
"I have no doubt July," Berger said.
Meanwhile, some residents were making special plans for greeting the warmer temperatures. For others, not so much:
Alpena Police Officer Jason Collegnon: "I'm going to take my winter coat and put it back in my locker. It's been so cold the wind cuts right through you."
U.S. Coast Guard Machinery Technician Second Class James Kautzman: "It's just another day of preparing for the summer."
Alpena barber Jerry Newhouse: "I'll do an early toast to St. Patrick's Day."
Melissa Haken, clerk at Mid-Pointe Convenience Store: "It's been a very hard winter so bring on the warmth."
Bruce Goodrich of Goodrich Paving: "We're in the snow removal business. But it has been such a long winter, everybody here is ready for spring. We're in the process of getting equipment ready for summer and because it's a nice day we'll be doing some maintenance."
Alcona County Commissioner Kevin Boyat - I'll work on my pen for my cattle, because they're starting to calf soon.
Alcona County Road Commission District Foreman Jim Quick: "We're going try to scrape off the blacktop to save salt. We knew it was coming and it will be welcome."
Forecaster Keith Berger: "I'll be driving to Columbus, Ohio, where it's 50 degrees.
Harrisville City Treasurer Tom Keerl: I'll be disappointed. I enjoy my winter sports. One day isn't going to make it or break it. We have at least two more snow storms coming."
Curtis Township Fire Chief Jack Roberts: "I'm planning to enjoy it. Everyone who had to fight a fire this winter had a rough, rough time. In all my years this has been the roughest, sustained winter ever."
Cheryl Cousineau, president of Cousineau Plumbing & Heating: "My husband, Larry, has worked out in the cold every day since winter began. It's been hand numbing and a lot of frozen pipes and no heat, so the warmer temperature is going to be a blessing. We'll enjoy it."

The No. 2-ranked Le Moyne College men's lacrosse team had its 47-game regular-season victory streak snapped this afternoonb by No. 4 Limestone 11-9 in a game played at Georgetown Prep in North Bethesda, Md. The Dolphins last lost in the regular season on March 31, 2007, a 7-6 setback at Merrimack.
Le Moyne sports information director Kevin McNeil said it was raining steadily at the venue. Senior attackman Jack Harmatuk (CBA) scored three first-period goals as the Dolphins took a 5-3 lead, but the Saints outscored the Dolphins (1-1) 8-4 from there and Harmatuk did not score again.
Le Moyne fell despite outshooting the Saints 40-25 and winning 18 of 24 faceoffs. A critical factor: Le Moyne was 2-for-7 on man-up situations; Limestone was 5-for-5.
Vinnie Alexander (Westhill) also scored three goals for the Dolphins, and midfielder Matt Chadderdon (Auburn) had two assists.
Meanwhile, senior midfielder Mia Valletta scored a career-high five goals to lead the No. 6 Le Moyne College women's lacrosse team to a 15-6 win over Bentley today in the Northeast-10 Conference opener for both teams.

"I'm thinking about it and looking very hard at the race and the opportunity," Conger told the paper. He added that he was looking at his prospects and the impact of a candidacy on his family.
Blue Oregon's Kari Chisholm noted that Conger has a "fairly compelling" personal story -- from frequent homelessness as a child to an education at Harvard Law School and a successful career and family life -- that could connect with voters.
Conger has to consider if he could raise the kind of money needed to mount a statewide campaign, and his seat could become competitive if he moves on. Democrats have nearly 2,000 more registered voters in House District 54 than the Republicans. President Barack Obama last year won the district by more than 11 percentage points.
Jo Rae Perkins, a former chairwoman of the Linn County Republican Party, recently announced her candidacy for the seat.

EAST LONGMEADOW - Seeds for a new garden at East Longmeadow High School have blown in from Boston and blossomed in the school's courtyard.
In disarray for decades, green shoots were showing signs of life in fall's waning days in the courtyard thanks to a grant from the state Cultural Council.
The town's Cultural Council received the $400 grant and funneled it to the East Longmeadow Garden Club. Gardeners used the money to buy and provide top soil and mulch for the project. Garden club members also donated perennials, including hostas, irises and day lilies from their own gardens, and used a business donation of mums to round out the package for a fall display.
"Off and on over the years, we've been trying to beautify the space and teach kids how to grow things, with no luck. We needed help from the professionals," said Mary Jane McMahon, Environmental Club adviser.
Dana Fessenden, club president, joined two dozen other students recently to turn the soil and tuck plants in for the fall.
"A lot of people have come to us and said we should do something about the courtyard, it's kind of ugly," she said. "I think it's important to show the environmental club has done something for the school. We actually make the school better by making this courtyard pretty."
The garden club exists to not only enlist members and share gardening tricks; its larger mission is to help beautify the town and that includes the high school.
"This just seemed like a great thing to do to come and have some interaction with the students," said Lavada Munoz, garden club president.
By all accounts, the courtyard was in a state of disarray; some called it unkempt. "We needed funding, advice, and people to stand over the kids and show them what needed to be done," said McMahon.
The students didn't need much prodding, putting their heart into the project and hands into the soil. When the digging and planting were done, students came away with much more than dirty, gritty finger nails. They're plan is to build from here and continue to improve the courtyard.
"We plan to make some more gardens, including an herb garden, around the courtyard. But it's important that we keep it up so we don't lose control of it again," said Fessenden.
Dozens of classrooms look out over the courtyard, and hundreds of students enjoy breaks or breaths of fresh air in the expansive area. What was once an eyesore is now eye catching and garden club members were glad to have their hands in the project.
"It's important to build a future generation of gardeners," said Cheryl Perrault, the garden club's project chairwoman. "They need to be able to feel the soil and know they can make a difference."

The second part of the course will examine the causes for the Protestant Reformation within the setting of Humanistic demands for reform within the Catholic Church. What were the challenges to the authority of the Church and how did the Church treat these upheavals? In our study of the ideas and individuals who effected change during the Reformation period we consider the Christian humanist Erasmus, and the man whose program for reform turned into a movement which broke western Christianity into two different factions, Catholic and Protestant. To what extent was Luther a man of the times, and to what extent did he shape his times? Included are lessons that will help the teacher conduct a mock trial as Luther appeared before the Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521. Would Luther bow before the Imperial authorities or would he maintain his teachings for which he had already been excommunicated by Pope Leo? Would he risk death just for the sake of conscience and personal convictions? How does this man's personal courage speak to us today? What beliefs do we have worth risking our lives for?
This unit is designed to get students to think about ideas in relationship to themselves and the culture in which we live today. A set of slides is included in this unit, depicting artistic expression of the Renaissance and the Reformation
(Recommended for Western Civilization and Advanced Western Civilization classes, grade 9)

Pre WOD 100g Macadamias, 100g Pomegranate seeds
Three rounds for time of:
60kg Deadlift, 21 reps
50 Double Unders
RXD was 100kg
Post WOD - Lots of Water, Handful of almonds
D 2 Kangaroo steaks (600g ish), 1 large carrot, 2 green pepper, 1 lebanese cucumber, 2 tomatos
Feeding window- 4pm-9.30pm
Sleep 8 and 10 mins ish
Today was my first day back into normal fasting, was all good. Have been reading the Warrior diet which i've been trying to follow, fasting during the day with one meal a day at night post workout. Pretty much the same as lean gains advocates. Fasting during the day is not just strictly water and can be a small portion of fruit or light protein (yoghurt and egg or nuts if you feel deprived). With this in mind I had some pomegranate seeds pre workout which I had never tried before. Not worth it at $4 but a new experience. Macadamias as well which were a bad idea (they are my crack), I think they dehydrated me a bit pre WOD which left me super thirsty afterwards.
I have only 2 issues with fasting during the day right up until post workout. 1. Is that I feel like I'm not going to be at my best after fasting (might not have replenished glycogen stores and may not have max energy available) and 2. Is that post workout when I get home I'm exhausted and not overly hungry which means i'm not sure if I'm enjoying my compensation period as much as I should be as I've got to cook when all I want to do is rest. Other than that daily fasting is a great success, I'm not going to weigh myself until Monday so I can reassess how my weight is going after ballooning after my holiday. I think I would have been retaining a lot of water and already I feel I look a lot less bloated so hopefully that was a couple of kilos and the rest I can nail over the next week or so. I was reading in the warrior diet that the 2nd time fat comes around (like if your weight goes down then back up) is harder to lose again which if true sucks and the 2nd thing was that licorice is highly estrogenic which is something that i'd been trying hard to avoid. Alas I shall continue to be a better human 90% of the time and try to enjoy my holidays and any indulgences I cant say no to as long as they are infrequent and well deserved.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- After working for New York Life Insurance Co. for 24 years, Craig Gloznek was afraid of becoming a casualty of the bad economy.
"People I had worked with for years were being laid off, and I was assuming their work with no end in sight. I felt sooner or later it was going to be my turn, and I didn't want to start looking for a job at age 46 or later," he said.
So instead of waiting to be laid-off, he decided to reinvent himself by launching his own business.
Having always had a passion for interior design, Gloznek researched many franchise opportunities before choosing Floor Coverings International.
"Working in corporate America for 24 years has given me a unique perspective as a business owner," said Gloznek.
"I know there can be a lot of confusion out there when it comes to flooring. With so many options it's tough to know what is the best product for your needs. I feel it's my job to demystify the process, and make the customer feel comfortable with their choice, he added.
680 Sharrotts Road Staten Island, N.Y. 10309
Established: October, 2013
Contact: (718) 984-8448 or
And Gloznek decided to base his business model on convenience. His mobile showroom allows customers visit and make choices right from their own home. And the company website allows customers to schedule appointments online.
"Customers are able to see what floors, materials and colors would look best in a particular room because we come straight to you," he said, noting he also has a Charleston-based showroom.
Products and services
Floor Coverings International sells and installs a variety of floor coverings, including: carpet, hardwood floors, engineered wood, laminate, luxury vinyl and tile.
"Since we have tile, we also do kitchen back splashes and bathrooms," he said.
Growth strategy
Gloznek has devised an ambitious advertising campaign through direct mail, neighborhood mailings, online banner ads and participation in local events and home shows.
As a member of the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce and other networking groups, Gloznek hopes to become an active member of the Staten Island business community.
"I also plan to hire employees as my business expands...which, in turn, will allow business growth," he said.
Five-year goals
Gloznek hopes to be operating at a revenue of $2 million dollars in gross sales.

|Mon, 1 Oct 2001 09:25:03 -0600
Hello Sante, As I recall from a triband wire vertical project, the higher band elements needed to be LONGER than normal due to interaction effects. One of my favorite WARC band antennas is a 20M dipole (34 ft total length) fed with ladderline and a balanced antenna tuner. This provides a figure 8 pattern from 10 through 30M with beamwidths from 50 degrees on 10M where it acts as two half waves in phase to 90 degrees on 30M where it is a short dipole (2/3 size). Performance on 30M could be improved slightly by using a 40 ft center fed dipole instead which will be two half waves on 12M (and 1.25 WL on 10M as a double extended Zepp). de Tom N4KG On Mon, 01 Oct 2001 Sante - IK0HBN <firstname.lastname@example.com> writes: > > Hi, > I need your help.

Direct writing through resist exposure using a focused ion beam system6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584297View Description Hide Description
A focused ion beam(FIB)system, fully computer controlled and containing a mounting stage with a laser interferometer, is used to investigate the accuracy of resist exposure fabrication and the mark detection. Fabricated patterns in poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) and chloromethylated polystyrene (CMS) resists on both Si and SiO2 substrates showed good pattern width accuracy. This appears to be because of the absence of the proximity effect in ion beam exposure and the stability of both the Au–Si–Be liquid metalion source and the FIBsystem itself. The authors examine the use of Si, Be, and Au FIB's for the detection of alignment marks covered with PMMA and CMS resists. Detection of marks covered with PMMA resist was possible because of the resist sputter etching produced by the FIB irradiation. For marks covered with CMS resist, the addition of a differential amplifier enabled successful detection here as well.
The influence of electrode geometry on liquid metal ion source performance6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584298View Description Hide Description
The surfaceelectric field distribution along the axis of a wetted needle type liquid metalion source has been determined by numerical methods and is shown to exhibit a secondary maximum at the intersection of the cylindrical and conical sections. It is shown that the volume flow rate of the liquid metalfilm along the cylindrical portion of the emitter is adequate to resupply the ionized portion at the needle apex. However, a pressure minimum in the liquid film, which decreases with increasing apex cone angle, occurs at the cone/cylinder intersection and the pressure gradient formed on the conical section of the emitter opposes flow to the apex region. It is shown that, by chemically roughening the conical section of the emitter, liquid filmflow via microcapillary action occurs in such a way as to provide a low flow impedance to the apex.
An improved ion source for ion implantation6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584299View Description Hide Description
Modifications to a standard Freeman ion source were made which increased 1 1B+ scanned wafer current by a minimum factor of 1.4, and 1 1B2 +, 3 1P2 +, and 7 5As2 + scanned wafer currents by a factor of 4.2. Order of magnitude increases in 3 1P3 + and 7 5As3 + scanned wafer currents were also measured in the extracted ion beam.Ion source feed materials were BF3 gas and elemental phosphorus and arsenic. Filament lifetime using BF3 gas has been observed to be in excess of 50 mA h. The apparent increased ionization efficiency was verified by a measured increase in electron density and temperature. In addition, at high extraction current densities (∼30 mA cm− 2), the modifications resulted in a symmetric extracted ion beam and uniform filament erosioncharacteristics. Thus, it was concluded that the plasma uniformity has increased.
Selective reactive ion etching of tungsten films in CHF3 and other fluorinated gases6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584300View Description Hide Description
The use of reactive ion etching (RIE ) with fluorinated gas plasmas, such as SF6, CF4, CBrF3, and CHF3 mixed with oxygen, to achieve selective patterning of tungsten films is reported. The etch rates of W, Si, and SiO2 were measured as a function of oxygen percentage in fluorinated gas plasmas under various conditions. Experiments on selectivity indicate that a CHF3/70%O2 mixture under 20 sccm, 200 W, 20 mTorr etching conditions results in W:Si and W:SiO2 etch rate ratios of 1.6:1 and 1.8:1, respectively. Optimized W:Si and W:SiO2 selectivity ratios 4:1 and 4.8:1 have been obtained at 60 mTorr/150 W and 260 mTorr/200 W plasma conditions. For reverse selectivity, the optimum W:SiO2 etch rate ratio measured is 1:4.6 in pure CHF3 gas. The optimum W:Si reverse selectivity of 1:11.6 is obtained with an SF6/5%O2 mixture plasma. A vertical‐to‐lateral etch ratio of 4:1 was measured with CHF3/70%O2, 200 W, 10 mTorr, 20 sccm. The etching mechanisms of tungsten due to chemical and physical processes in various fluorocarbon gases under the RIE mode have been investigated and the role of etching species such as fluorine, bromine, and oxygen is discussed.
X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy surface charge buildup used to study residue in deep features on integrated circuits6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584301View Description Hide Description
A major problem is encountered in characterizing the surfaces at the bottom of submicrometer holes formed by plasma etching operations in the fabrication of submicrometer circuitry. Using monochromated x rays to excite photoemissionspectra,surface charge buildup can occur on insulating surfaces causing the spectra to shift relative to the spectra of electrically conductive surfaces. In the case of silicon dioxide on Si, the oxide surface can charge up to a significant voltage relative to the silicon substrate making the two regions spectroscopically resolvable. When an electron flood gun is used in conjunction with monochromatic x rays, the insulated regions can be made to shift in kinetic energy relative to the substrate thereby allowing precise identification of various electrically different regions. In this initial study, residues at the bottoms of 0.75‐μm‐wide paths etched in 0.9‐μm‐thick silicon dioxide were identified. Patterns were etched in silicon dioxide using Freon‐based plasma etching and various final cleaning procedures. The residue layers observed are similar to those observed on CHF3etchedsilicon.
GaAs cleaning with a hydrogen radical beam gun in an ultrahigh‐vacuum system6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584302View Description Hide Description
GaAssurface cleaning prior to molecular‐beam epitaxy(MBE) using a new hydrogen radical beam produced by an electron cyclotron resonanceplasma in an ultrahigh‐vacuum system is investigated. Residual oxygen and carbon on the GaAssurface after cleaning are monitored i n s i t u with Auger electron spectroscopy. Oxygen and carbon, which are hard to remove by conventional thermal cleaning, can be removed by hydrogen radical (H*) beam irradiation at a substrate temperature of <400 °C. It is verified that the plasma‐dissociated radicals are much more reactive in the gas phase–solid phase surface chemical interaction than the nondischarged molecules. Ga and As stoichiometry is kept after H* beamcleaning. Good crystallinity is obtained according to reflection high‐energy elecron diffraction. By carrier concentration measurement at the interface between the cleanedsurface and the i n s i t u MBE‐regrown layer, it is found that H* beamcleaning reduces the interface state concentration. This cleaning technique makes clean GaAssurfaces available for MBE pretreatment.
Influence of process parameters on the composition and the electrical properties of thin‐plasma‐nitrided oxides6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584303View Description Hide Description
We studied the influence of process parameters on the composition and the electrical properties of thin SiO2films nitrided in a plasma reactor of a novel design. The process parameters investigated include pressure,temperature, reactant gas species and flow rate, plasma frequency and power, and process duration. The structure and morphology of these films were examined by cross‐sectional transmission electron microscopy. Their composition was analyzed using Auger electron spectroscopy,secondary ion mass spectroscopy, and etch rate measurements. Metal–oxide–semiconductors capacitors were fabricated and electrically characterized by C–V, time‐dependent breakdown, and charge trapping measurements. Our results show that more nitrogen is incorporated in filmstreated in a NH3plasma than in a N2plasma. Yet, the latter films present better electrical properties. Compositional variations between different films are not sufficient by themselves to explain their electrical properties. It appears that the effect of ion bombardment in the plasma plays an important role. By properly optimizing process parameters, the charge to breakdown of nitrided films can be enhanced over that of SiO2. This improvement is ascribed to a lower electron trapping rate.
Elimination of the flux transients from molecular‐beam epitaxy source cells following shutter operation6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584304View Description Hide Description
We present an analysis, based on control theory, of the transients in flux from a molecular‐beam epitaxy source cell which occur after opening the shutter and also after changing the set point of the cell temperature controller. This analysis permits the calculation of the variation of this set point with time which produces a transient equal and opposite to that following shutter operation. Experimental results show that use of this set point variation results in a beam flux constant to within 1%, and that the parameters in this analysis do not change significantly over at least 100 h of cell operation. In addition we show that simple manual control of the set point based on this analysis can reduce the flux transient by a factor of 5.
I n s i t u measurement of the composition of molecular‐beam epitaxial (Al, Ga)As by Auger electron spectroscopy6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584305View Description Hide Description
The high‐energy Auger spectra were measured for a large number of molecular‐beam epitaxial (Al, Ga)As layers, and analyzed for Al composition using electron microprobe and reflection electron diffraction oscillations for calibration. A simple analysis employs this calibration and avoids assumptions of column III/V stoichiometry. Thus the bulk composition can be established to within a few percent from the Auger peak heights, in spite of a large variation in the As surface coverage. An effort is made to account for differences between Auger sensitivity factors determined for as‐grown surfaces (this study) and those obtained from measurements performed during Ar+ ion sputtering. Our measurements support recent measurements of the band gap of Al x Ga1−x As which place the direct/indirect crossover composition between x=0.37 and 0.39.
Titanium nitride for antireflection control and hillock suppression on aluminum silicon metallization6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584306View Description Hide Description
High reflectivity of aluminum alloy layers causes degradation to occur in photoresistimages through reflective light scattering.Titanium nitride used normally as a diffusion barrier under aluminumsilicon contacts, can also be applied as an efficient antireflection layer on top of AlSi. Processing advantages over other antireflective layers (ARL) such as hillock suppression and enhanced electromigration resistance are also discussed. Process flow parameters from ARL deposition to wire attach are reviewed as applied to megabit dynamic random access memory development.
Optical studies of molecular‐beam epitaxy growth of GaAs and AlAs6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584264View Description Hide Description
We discuss the first real‐time optical spectroscopic measurements of (001) GaAs and AlAssurfaces during crystal growth by molecular‐beam epitaxy. In these experiments, reflectance–difference spectroscopy (RDS) is used to enhance the typically low sensitivity of optical probes to surface phenomena. Comparison of reflectance–difference and reflection high‐energy electron diffraction (RHEED) signals upon interruption of the As flux during otherwise normal growth of GaAs and AlAs shows that RD signals are sensitive to either surface chemistry or surface structure according to wavelength. The spectral dependence of the chemical component is sufficiently pronounced so that Al‐terminated surfaces can be distinguished from Ga‐terminated surfaces. We use this spectral capability to assess the competition between codeposited Al and Ga for the same surface‐bonding sites. We also report the first observation of the RD analog of RHEED oscillations, that is, oscillations in the RD response upon initiation of growth. These are seen to occur under both chemically and structurally sensitive conditions. The initial heteroepitaxialgrowth of GaAs on AlAs shows very complicated energy and time dependences that extend over a number of monolayers. These results suggest that systematic investigations of the optical properties of growthsurfaces will lead to a new understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of crystal growth.
The bonding of arsenic to the hydrogen‐terminated Si(111) surface6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584265View Description Hide Description
The interaction of arsenic with the hydrogen‐terminated Si(111) surface has been studied using photoemissionvalence band and core level spectroscopy. The results are compared with those obtained previously for the interaction of arsenic with Si(111) and hydrogen with the arsenic‐terminated Si(111) surface. We have found that neither As nor H fully passivates the Si(111) surface with respect to the other species. Hydrogen can be removed from both the Si(111):As + H and Si(111):H + As surfaces by annealing, leaving As bonded to the Si(111) surface. A comparison is also made between arsenic‐terminated surfaces made with (i) an As4 deposition onto a substrate whose temperature was varied from 800 °C down to 300 °C and (ii) a deposition at 300 °C followed by a 650 °C anneal. It is found that method (i) yields a surface with significantly better surface order.
Clustering mechanism during growth of GaAs on silicon6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584266View Description Hide Description
Cluster growth experiments of Ga on As terminated Si(111) are reported and shown to simulate Ga–As coevaporation in the case of low Ga and very low As fluxes. Based on these observations a model for GaAs clustering is proposed which explains qualitatively the absence of postdeposit clustering and can be quantified in order to be compared to recent substrate temperature dependent GaAs cluster size measurements by transmission electron microscopy techniques.
Simulation of GaAs cluster formation on GaAs(001̄), AlAs(001̄), Si(001), and As1/Si(001) surfaces6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584267View Description Hide Description
Recently developed semiempiricalpotential energy functions for the Ga–As–Si and Ga–As–Al systems have been applied here to determine the excess formation energy for GaAs clusters on GaAs(001̄), AlAs(001̄), Si(001), and one atomic layer As‐covered Si(001) substrates as a function of cluster size and cluster shape by the Monte Carlo technique. Pyramidal type ledges on the GaAs clusters are found to be the favored ledge for the first three layers while an inverted‐pyramidal type ledge is also favored in certain cases for the As1/Si(001) substrate. Cluster formation at ledges is compared with cluster formation on a flat terrace for the Si(001) and the As1/Si(001) substrates.
Dynamics of strained‐layer epitaxy: Simulation of growth and annealing of Ge x Si1−x /Si systems6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584268View Description Hide Description
We simulate the epitaxialgrowth and annealing of Ge x Si1−x alloys on a Si(001) substrate using a stochastic Monte Carlo technique. Our simulation indicates that: (i) the overgrowth is defect‐free for x≤0.2, whereas defect formation is inevitable for x≥0.5; and (ii) initiation of phase segregation into Si and Ge(001) layers is obtained by means of solely surfacediffusion effects during growth and annealing. These result from the kinetically more active nature of Ge atoms as compared to Si atoms, together with an effect arising from the compressive strain in the alloy layers.
The effect of strong localization on the mobility of electrons in modulation‐doped inverted structures6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584269View Description Hide Description
Modulation‐doped quantum wellstructuresgrown by molecular‐beam epitaxy in which the two‐dimensional electron gas samples both interfaces, have been characterized by Hall mobility and Shubnikov–de Haas measurements. In as‐grown and annealed samples the low electron mobility associated with the inverted interface is attributed mainly to localization effects and is not influenced significantly by Si diffusion in these structures. The localization can be reduced by replacing the bulk (Al,Ga)As layers by a short period superlattice of equivalent band gap, resulting in improved mobilities.
Recombination mechanisms in type II (GaAs/AlAs) heterostructures6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584270View Description Hide Description
Time‐resolved photoluminescence spectra and decay data are presented for a series of type II (GaAs/AlAs) samples with different GaAs layer thicknesses. Low‐temperature delayed spectra reveal that the spectral lines shift gradually to lower energy with delay, and that the shift extends to ms time scales. At 6 K the decay curves of the type II emission contain power‐law and exponential components with rates ∼103 s− 1, indicating significant Γ–X mixing, both by random and nonrandom processes. Both rates increase with temperature. The dependence of the decay rates and spectra on the GaAs layer thickness is examined. Models of the recombination mechanisms are discussed in the context of these new results.
Investigations of double barrier resonant tunneling devices based on (AlGa)As/GaAs6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584271View Description Hide Description
A series of electrical measurements on double barrier resonant tunneling structures is described. It is shown that the bistability effect in the current–voltage characteristics of a double barrier structure can be removed by connecting a suitable capacitor to the external circuit. These measurements cast serious doubt on the recent interpretation of the bistability as an intrinsic space‐charge effect. The temperature dependence of the tunneling current at voltages below threshold is also investigated. An expression for the temperature and voltage dependence of the thermally activated resonant tunneling process is compared with experiment. Finally, the effect of hydrostatic pressure (up to 11 kbar) on I(V) characteristics is studied. It is found that, whereas the pressure has little effect on the low‐temperature I(V) characteristics, the peak/valley ratio at room temperature is significantly reduced. This behavior is attributed to the effect of the higher conduction band minima.
Photoemission study of near‐surface band gap states in a‐Si:H6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584272View Description Hide Description
We use total yield photoelectron spectroscopy in combination with the Kelvin probe to study changes in the work function and the distribution of occupied band gap states upon borondoping and oxidation of amorphous hydrogenated silicon (a‐Si:H) surfaces. We observe 3×1011 occupied surface states/cm2 in clean undoped a‐Si:H in an 0.4‐eV wide band centered 5.0 eV below the vacuum level, which we ascribe to intrinsic surface defects. Incorporation of boron removes these states and exposes the intrinsic valence band tail, which is exponential over four orders of magnitude in the density of states. In contrast to c‐Si, where adsorbed oxygen decreases the large intrinsic surface state density (4×1014 states/cm2 ) on the clean, cleaved surface, the relatively low density of intrinsic surface states on a‐Si:H allows the observation of oxygen‐i n d u c e dsurfaceband gap states. The origin of these states is discussed.
Oxygen adsorbed on GaAs(110) surfaces: The effect of temperature on band bending6(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.584273View Description Hide Description
GaAssurfaces cleaved in ultrahigh vacuum and cooled to 100 K [low temperature (LT)] were exposed to molecular oxygen. Band bending as a function of exposure was measured with ultraviolet photoemissionspectroscopy. Band bending on LT p‐GaAs is very small up to exposures >106 L, whereas the same exposures give considerable band bending at room temperature (RT). Band bending on LT n‐GaAs is as fast as at RT. This situation is therefore opposite to that of metals/LT GaAs reported last year at this conference, but is analogous to that produced by Cl/GaAs at RT. These results can be interpreted in terms of simple adsorption of electronegative species which introduce an acceptor level deep in the GaAs gap. As for metals on LT GaAs, the nature of the surface states induced by the adsorption of single species dominates the position of E F at low coverage. Metallicity dominates at high coverages of metals; oxidation‐induced defects dominate at RT or at higher exposures for O2/GaAs.

A Note on Dates
All dates presented in this prehistory of Egypt are largely conjecture. The methods most often used to date artifacts and remains, namely carbon-14 and potassium-argon decay, are not very useful in calculating dates in the Lower and early Middle Paleolithic eras. Many dates given, especially those before 45,000 BC, are based largely on cross-dating with better-dated archaeological sites from around the world.
Who are we?
Tour Egypt aims to offer the ultimate Egyptian adventure and intimate knowledge about the country. We offer this unique experience in two ways, the first one is by organizing a tour and coming to Egypt for a visit, whether alone or in a group, and living it firsthand. The second way to experience Egypt is from the comfort of your own home: online.

A high school teacher and track coach at a Terrebonne Parish school has been arrested and accused of having sex with a 16-year-old student, according to media reports. A story on houmatoday.com, the website for the Houma Courier newspaper, said Derrick Nesby, 37, of New Orleans, was arrested Wednesday.
The story said Nesby, a teacher at H.L. Bourgeois High School, where he is also coach of the boys track team, faces a felony charge of carnal knowledge of a juvenile. The Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office told the newspaper that Nesby denies the allegation.

I have been to most of the others. For me, it is college. Two of them will be donning the gowns and hats with the tassel that they will move from one side to the other and then exuberantly toss those square topped items into the air.
It is difficult for a grandmother not to reminisce.
They have lived far from one another, are as different from one another as they could possibly be, yet during summer vacations, they have grown to be good friends.
One is of average height the other is tall. One has dark, curly hair, the other is a redhead. And as most grandmothers do, I love them both.
Their graduations are taking place far from each other, but next day to one another. Circumstances that have placed this grandmother in a difficult position, since I can only attend one. (Someone advised: "Do not go to either one, just send check.")
A decision has been made — no, I shall not tell you which I will attend. But everyone is happy.
However, because of the impending graduations, I have been going through the pile of photo albums enjoying wonderful memories, reminding myself that their grandfather never knew them, that they did not have the privilege of knowing him and just imagining how proud he would have been should he have been able to watch them grow so nicely.
It seems just yesterday when I visited Texas that I balanced the bicycle for the redhead and watched him take off down the street; helped him to hang the bird feeder at the back of the house; watched as his father taught him how to pitch a baseball at the target on the wall; sat in the stands and screamed with delight during the visit there when he struck out the opposing pitcher at the game; visited the various schools on grandparents' day; was driven by him after he obtained his driver's license; and proudly applauded him as each graduation came along and praised him for good grades; hosted him when he traveled alone by plane as a youngster so we could do New York City for a whole week.
It seemed like the same yesterday that I went to Edison, N.J., to watch the curly headed one graduate from his schools; cheered him on the soccer field; applauded him in the swimming pool; watched him race by on his bicycle; hosted him in my home or baby-sat in his; enjoyed him interacting with his older sister; took him to our roller skating rink to learn to skate; praised him for good grades; was driven without fear after he obtained his driver's license; watched him hit those golf balls with great form and baked together with both of them in each of their homes.
When we were able to be together at Long Beach Island, you grandmothers know how it is, I would just sit and watch the two of them and get that "warm, all's well in the world feeling," wishing it could last forever.
It's a crazy, frightening world we live in. When I turn on the radio in the morning, it is always with a silent prayer that nothing catastrophic has occurred; that my grandchildren and all your grandchildren, who are graduating from whatever education level, will be able to follow their dreams, to go forward in health and peace to become grandparents like us.
In the meantime, hug them, enjoy their graduations and love them.

Private Equity deal-making continues, China continues to expand
- Domestic firms drive PE deal activity in China
- Smaller deals drive PE activity in India
- Entrepreneurial spirit is key to PE's staying power
Hong Kong, 26 March 2012 — Momentum for deal making in China continued in 2011 despite the global decline. Aggregate PE deal activity rose significantly in the fourth quarter of 2011, in sharp contrast to global trends. Moreover, despite valuation concerns founded in increasingly robust competition for deals among local and global PE firms, deal-making continued unabated, and the aggregate value of PE deals in 2011 rose to US$20 billion — an increase of 48% as compared with 2010 figures. In 2011, there was a marginal decrease of 7% in PE deal volume with 640 deals, compared with 687 deals in 2010.
According to Global private equity watch – a return to entrepreneurship 2012, an annual study by EY, an entrepreneurial mindset has been the key driver to the industry's ability to adapt to the ongoing volatility.
Michael Buxton, Asia-Pacific Private Equity Leader at EY says: "Though relatively young in tenure, Asia Pacific private equity investors are gaining experience as well as accumulating investment capital. They could well break into global markets seeking their own diversification strategies."
PE activity in the Americas remained broadly stable through 2011 in terms of deal value, while Asia Pacific region saw a modest increase in value. By contrast, Europe saw a drop-off in activity, largely driven by the European debt crisis.
Buxton continues, "Over the last few years, PE has extended well beyond its traditional markets into fast-growth economies such as India, China and Brazil in an attempt to capitalize on the emerging middle class dynamic in these geographies. In the future though, it is those PE firms with the vision to tap into the world's so-called "frontier markets" such as Colombia, Chile, Indonesia, Vietnam, Czech Republic and Turkey, that will reap above average returns. These markets share similar trends to the BRIC countries, but valuations tend to be more reasonable and competition more limited."
PE has also been quick to identify a shift in capital flows. As their investor bases grow, some of the larger firms are taking the opportunity to expand their business to offer LPs a wide variety of investment strategies and asset classes. They have extended into new areas, such as hedge funds, real estate and distressed debt evolving into multi-asset managers. This is true not only of firms in the more established markets, but also in Asia Pacific.
"Local firms are realizing the vast potential of a number of growing alternative asset classes in Asia Pacific and are casting a wider net in order to capture institutional investor demand." Buxton explains, "In December 2011, buyout firms had US$49.1 billion for Asia and other emerging markets."
Deal-making in China continues amid global decline
PE activity in China continues to expand, with growth in PE deal activity supported by an increasing supply of local PE capital and the availability of exit alternatives. Unlike India, where PE deal activity is driven by global firms, China has an increasing number of domestic firms that are competing for PE deals, including 8 of the top 10 PE deals in China Q4 2011.
PE fund-raising in China did decline by 11% from US$32.1b in 2010 to US$28.5b in 2011. The second half of 2011 witnessed new commitments totaling US$8.6b, just half that of the first part of the year. However, LPs and GPs remain focused on Asia Pacific and China in particular as local currency PE funds continue to expand. Renminbi (RMB) funds experienced a 28% year-on-year increase in their aggregate value to US$11.4b in 2011, demonstrating that local investor participation in Chinese PE is on the rise.
Continued long-term interest in Indian PE
Indian PE activity started 2011 on a high note, with deal buoyancy carried forward from late 2010. However, in line with global trends, the second half witnessed a steep decline in investment value, while volume remained consistent throughout 2011. Year-on-year comparison indicates 15% and 20% increase in aggregate deal value and volume, respectively, compared to 2010.
PE-backed IPOs declined in 2011, with just 8 IPOs by PE, significantly down on the 27 seen in 2010. The amount raised also dropped from US$4.3b to US$1.2b – a 71% decline. This is the reflection of the uncertainty last year in Indian stock markets and as a result, PE has delayed listing portfolio companies, but is ready to push the button when market conditions improve.
However, the long-term attraction of the Indian market was demonstrated by the improvement in fund-raising toward the end of the year. In Q4 2011, PE and VC firms launched fund-raising processes targeting an aggregate US$7.5b. Buxton says: "Recently, some firms have abandoned fund-raising specifically targeted toward investments in India, yet the signs are that firms with a proven track record of returning money to investors will be successful."
Entrepreneurial spirit is key to PE's staying power
Other findings from the report include examples of how PE firms have demonstrated their entrepreneurial ability to respond to severe economic volatility, a consequence of the global recession. Comments Buxton: "These behaviors were critical to overcoming the economic challenges and enabled value creation on behalf their investors. This entrepreneurial approach is a key element to the industry's future success."
Looking forward to the rest of 2012
Asia Pacific private equity investors are eager to make new acquisitions, but the challenge remains how to locate the best deals.
"The outlook for PE-backed IPOs is heavily dependent on external factors such as the stabilization of Europe, improved growth prospects for the US and increased investor confidence in Asia."
Buxton concludes, "With improved operating results at many PE portfolio companies and an aging portfolio, many sponsors are watching closely for signs of the IPO window reopening and have been working diligently to prepare their portfolio companies for a public equity exit. However, the challenges remain around how to locate the best deals and finding good opportunities to exit existing portfolio companies."

Two people were arraigned Thursday in connection with the Tuesday armed robberies of Check 'N Go in Jackson and Tate's Take Out in Summit Township.
Joel Jordan Poole, 20, and Monica Lee Cyrocki, 21, each face two counts of armed robbery, a felony with a maximum penalty of life in prison.
Both are being held without bond in the Jackson County Jail.
Police allege Cyrocki, aware of the robberies, was the driver. Poole entered Tate's, a party store at 2206 Francis St., about 11 a.m. and displayed a handgun. He took money and left, heading down Hollis Street to what deputies believe was a waiting vehicle, Undersheriff Tom Finco said.
A little more than an hour later, Poole entered Check 'N Go at 916 N. West Ave. He showed an employee a handgun, said he wanted money and took off with it, Jackson Deputy Chief John Holda said.
Police got a report of the robbery as they were headed toward the Check 'N Go. Someone working near Check 'N Go reported at about 12:15 p.m. that a man went into the short-term loan business pulling a mask over his head.
Officers arrested Poole a short time later in the area of Argyle Street and West Avenue.
Cyrocki was arrested and taken to jail Wednesday evening.
Jackson County District and Circuit court records show Cyrocki has currently open larceny, retail fraud and drug cases.

FLINT, MI -- As the city remains on pace to break its 2010 record of 66 homicides, one researcher say that homicide and violence has become a way of life in Flint.
"(Flint has) reached a new position of normality of homicide," said Dallas Drake, a researcher with the Minnesota-based Center for Homicide Research. "It's normal that this is how problems are solved."
Analysis by the Journal shows that 86 percent of the city's 52 homicides this year occurred within three days of one another and that nearly half of the victims had previous felony records.
Some residents that live by a recent homicide scene weighed in, telling reporter Dominic Adams that the city's violence has left them living in fear.
But what about the rest of the city's residents or those who travel to the city for work, business or pleasure?
Do you feel safe in Flint?

EAST GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Few houses in West Michigan have attracted as much public attention in recent years as the 88-year-old Tudor mansion at 2905 Bonnell Ave. SE.
Set on a bluff overlooking Reeds Lake on an upscale street in this well-heeled suburb, its owner, Dr. Robert Stokes amazed his neighbors in the 1990s by raising the brick mansion and shifting it on its 255-foot lot. Stokes then added a large addition that included a solarium.
In 2007, federal prosecutors accused Stokes of scrimping on his patient care, putting thousands of patients at risk by failing to sterilize surgical tools, falsely billing insurance companies for complex procedures and submitting claims for laboratory work he did not perform.
The 14,000-square-foot mansion, now with five bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, became a symbol of Stokes' excesses – especially after he was sued for stiffing a Wisconsin contractor on a $200,000 roofing job.
Stokes who paid the contractor only $52,000 for the slate roof, dodged full payment because the contractor, who was not licensed in Michigan, had no legal standing in court, according to a Michigan Supreme Court ruling in the case.
Shortly after the criminal charges were filed, Stokes put the house on the market for $7.7 million, a record asking price for a home in Kent County. As his legal problems deepened with his guilty plea in 2008, Stokes put the house on the auction block.

In my opinion, now that we have all exhausted ourselves with the hope of acquiring Steve Francis that the real focus should be within the team I.E. Team Chemistry, Regrouping, and just regaining the swagger the Clippers once had two seasons ago. It is a must that the team should begin to work hard this off-season and just rebuild the stature and the confidence which the team proudly showed and proved to everyone through the season & playoffs. Do not let the free-agency issues come into play with what the team really needs to focus on because whether or not the Clippers end up signing a big time player or merely a tremendous role player, it will all depend upon how the team have finally realized their true potential with or without any new players coming in this season.
Yes, there are issues with certain positions; but it would all not matter at all if everyone takes & accepts their roles and use the chance to be on the team to show each and everyone true potential and PLAY AS A TEAM! And yes, It's easier said than done, right? But I still believe in the Clippers and that this season, they shall finally prove that they are a high caliber team that should not be taken lightly at all.
Kaman should be Kaman...BE STRONG IN THE PAINT & JUST POWER YOURSELF THROUGH!
Elton Brand...BE THE DOMINANT PLAYER THAT YOU ARE!
Corey Maggette...SET ASIDE ANY DIFFERENCES YOU'VE HAD IN THE PAST, AND SHOW EVERYONE HOW GOOD YOU REALLY ARE, WHETHER AS A STARTER OR DOING IT OFF THE BENCH!
Sam "I AM" Cassell...IF THIS IS INDEED YOUR LAST SEASON WITH THE CLIPPERS, GO OUT IN GREAT FASHION! GO OUT THERE WITH GUNZ A BLAZE AND JUST PUT IT ALL ON THE LINE EACH AND EVERY GAME!
Al Thornton a.k.a. "YoungGun"...ITS YOUR TIME TO SHINE KID! BE A ROLE PLAYER, PLAY TO YOUR POTENTIAL AND JUST PLAY YOUR GAME!
Yep, our problems are nothing that cant be fixed. Free Agency or a Trade isnt gonna solve anything. It's gotta come from within.

BUENA VISTA TOWNSHIP, MI — Township firefighters were called to a house fire at 5044 Cabot at about 1:12 p.m. Sunday, April 13.
Capt. Craig Gotham said they put out the fire within about 45 minutes and cleared the scene. Less than an hour later, Gotham said, the department was sent back to the same house to extinguish flames again.
Though fires sometimes "rekindle," or take hold a period of time after being extinguished, Gotham said he doesn't believe that to be the case. Someone had gone back inside the house, he said, after firefighters left the first time.
"It's definitely not a rekindle," Gotham said.
The original fire, he said, appeared to have been caused by an iron that melted through a plastic container.
"The plastic dripped onto the bed and that started the fire," Gotham said.
He said the occupant of the house was taking a bath when the fire started and, after hearing the smoke alarm, was able to escape the home without any injuries.
Gotham said the cause of the second fire, to which firefighters responded at about 3 p.m., remains under investigation.

Despite claiming self-defense, a York County man was found guilty of kidnapping and other charges.
Alan Wayne Shoemaker, 49, of Etters was allowed to remain free on $25,000 bail by Perry County Senior Judge C. Joseph Rehkamp. The judge also ordered a presentence investigation be conducted by the county probation department. A date for sentencing will be scheduled.
"It's a story straight out of a movie, but these are real people and a real situation," District Attorney Charles Chenot III remarked.
Several times during the trial, Shoemaker, representing himself, moved for a mistrial because the victim, Michelle Kantes, could not be located. She was found by state police in the Pittsburgh area before the second day of testimony.
"All I wanted to do was protect Michelle," Shoemaker told jurors.
Shoemaker was accused of attacking Kantes, formerly of Camp Hill, and Michael Witmer of Landisburg during a June 30 altercation at Witmer's residence in the 500 block of Warm Springs Road.
According to documents and testimony, after Shoemaker punched and cut Witmer's neck, he forced Kantes into his 1995 Plymouth Voyager van. He took Kantes to a nearby field and continued to assault her before cutting her neck.
Kantes claimed Shoemaker harbored romantic feelings for her. "He told me I would feel the pain I caused him," she tearfully testified.
Shoemaker called two friends to pick him up after the van became stuck. State police caught and arrested Shoemaker in Harrisburg.
Witmer testified that Shoemaker called him on the day of the incident and asked if Kantes could stay with him and his wife, following a dispute between Kantes and her then boyfriend.
Later that evening, Witmer went to a local bar and two of his friends, including Joe Bomba of Landisburg, followed him home.
"He did a good job. Got me right between the jugular and windpipe,'" Witmer testified.
With county public defender Sean Potter as stand-by counsel, Shoemaker took the stand in his defense the second day. He claimed Bomba and the other friend threatened him. The allegation was denied by other witnesses.
Taking the stand in Shoemaker's defense were Todd Spahr and James Dick, the friends who picked up Shoemaker and Kantes. Both said Kantes did not mention what had occurred, but that both she and Shoemaker had blood on them.
"She was drunk, dirty and had a cut on her lip," Spahr said. "I wanted to take her to the hospital."
Shoemaker was found guilty of kidnapping, unlawful restraint, four counts of aggravated assault and two counts of simple assault.
Shoemaker previously had pleaded guilty to the charges, but withdrew his plea in January.
Chenot said Shoemaker faces "in the neighborhood" of 20 years in concurrent sentencing, adding he will ask for incarceration in a state prison. Chenot said Shoemaker has a previous record, with serious offenses dating back to the 1970s.
"He was very well prepared. He presented himself well," Chenot said about Shoemaker. "I'm not sure he presented a good case, but he was definitely prepared."

The national census in Macedonia has been suspended, Macedonian news website Kirilica said, quoted by news agency Focus.
The state census commission (SCC) held a sitting late on October 10 2011 and decided that it was not possible to continue the process further under the existing circumstances, the report said.
The decision was a result of the inadequate implementation of the methodology set out by the state statistical institute, which was also co-ordinated with European Union statistics office Eurostat.
According to the commission, the census will not present real data about the number of the people and families living in Macedonia and so the commission could not execute its task and duties. All SCC members filed their resignations. The commission called for all participants in the census to stop all activities connected to the national tally.
Focus said that the census in Macedonia had been complicated by different interpretations of an article of the law regarding citizens who have been living abroad for more than a year.
Under the law, these citizens should not be counted. Albanian members of the commission, as well as representatives of the smaller ethnic groups, considered that people, who have come to Macedonia at least once should be counted too despite the fact that they have been living in another country for more than a year.
Because no compromise on the issue could be achieved, the census officers in the Albanian regions continued the national tally following their own interpretation of the law.
There were also other discrepancies and missed deadlines, the report said.

With quarterback still very much a question mark heading into the 2012 season, the pressure is on this group of wide receivers to make things easier on their sophomore signal-caller David Ash.
Coming off a season in which drops and inconsistent play caused this group to greatly underachieve, this group of wide receivers has a lot to prove this season.
