Extending the Ruthenium Capping Layer Life Time of Extreme Ultra-Violet Lithography Photomasks in Physical Force Cleaning
Extending the Ruthenium Capping Layer Life Time of Extreme Ultra-Violet Lithography Photomasks in Physical Force Cleaning
Extreme Ultra-Violet Lithography (EUVL) is currently considered one of the most promising Next Generation Lithography (NGL) choices to extend shrinkage of transistor sizes. This is also reflected in the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS).EUVL works at an exposure wavelength of 13.5 nm, which is electromagnetic radiation absorbed at a high rate by nearly any solid material. Therefore, photomasks must be of reflective nature. This is accomplished by a Multi-layer structure deposited on top of a low-thermo expansion quartz substrate (LTEM substrate).Download
MegaSonic Cleaning: Possible solutions for 22nm node and beyond
MegaSonic Cleaning: Possible solutions for 22nm node and beyond
MegaSonic energy transfer to the photomask surface is indirectly controlled by process parameters that provide an effective handle to physical force distribution on the photomask surface. A better understanding on the influence of these parameters on the physical force distribution and their effect on pattern damage of fragile mask features can help in optimizing MegaSonic energy transfer as well as assist in extending this cleaning technology beyond 22nm node. In this paper we have specifically studied the effect of higher MegaSonic frequencies (3 & 4 MHz) and media gasification on pattern damage; effect of cleaning chemistry, media volume flow rate, process time and nozzle distance to the mask surface during the dispense is also discussed. MegaSonic energy characterization is performed by measuring the acoustic energy as well as cavitation created by MegaSonic energy through Sonoluminescence measurements.Download
Investigating the intrinsic cleanliness of automated handling designed for EUV mask pod-in-pod systems
Investigating the intrinsic cleanliness of automated handling designed for EUV mask pod-in-pod systems
Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUVL) is the most promising solution for technology nodes 16nm (hp) and below. However, several unique EUV mask challenges must be resolved for a successful launch of the technology into the market. Uncontrolled introduction of particles and/or contamination into the EUV scanner significantly increases the risk for device yield loss and potentially scanner down-time. With the absence of a pellicle to protect the surface of the EUV mask, a zero particle adder regime between final clean and the point-of-exposure is critical for the active areas of the mask. A Dual Pod concept for handling EUV masks had been proposed by the industry as means to minimize the risk of mask contamination during transport and storage. SÜSS MicroTec introduces MaskTrackPro InSync as a fully automated solution for the handling of EUV masks in and out of this Dual Pod System and therefore constitutes an interface between various tools inside the Fab. The intrinsic cleanliness of each individual handling and storage step of the inner shell (EIP) of this Dual Pod and the EUV mask inside the InSync Tool has been investigated to confirm the capability for minimizing the risk of crosscontamination. An Entegris Dual Pod EUV-1000A-A110 has been used for the qualification. The particle detection for the qualification procedure was executed with the TNO's RapidNano Particle Scanner, qualified for particle sizes down to 50nm (PSL equivalent).
It has been shown that the target specification of < 2 particles @ 60nm per 25 cycles has been achieved. In case where
added particles were measured, the EIP has been identified as a potential root

My next two articles will demonstrate the features of two desktop operating systems that are based on FreeBSD. Both PC-BSD and DestopBSD provide an easy to install and easy to use desktop environment suited for the corporate desktop user as well as the home user with no previous Unix experience. Today I'll concentrate on PC-BSD. My next article will focus on DesktopBSD.
While much of today's article will provide an introduction to what a novice BSD user can expect if they install PC-BSD, users already familiar with FreeBSD and the KDE desktop will still find some interesting features for dealing with ports,
cvsup, and updates.
PC-BSD is available from the PC-BSD download page, from where you can download and then burn the ISO. Alternately, if you don't have access to a burner or wish to support the project, you can purchase a three-CD set for $35.
Hint: power users may enjoy downloading and trying the new PC-BSD vmware image, which is also available from the download site.
Once you have the CD, insert it into the CD drive as you start your computer. Most systems should already be configured to boot from CD, meaning the install program will automatically begin. The PC-BSD website has screenshots of everything you'll see during the install. (I've linked to them where appropriate.)
Some text messages will go by and then you'll see the PC-BSD splash screen with its bright yellow flowers. When you see the Installation menu, press enter to start the graphical install.
You'll have the option to choose your language and keyboard layout. Click the Start Installation button to proceed. You'll then see a welcome message. Press Next to continue.
The installer will then show you your hard drive(s) and ask you to select where to install PC-BSD. If you only have one hard drive and only want PC-BSD on your computer, click on the box that says "Use entire disk for UNIX" and then Next to continue. You'll receive a warning that all data currently on the disk will be lost. If you're OK with that, press OK.
The next screen will ask if you need a boot loader. If PC-BSD will be the only operating system on your computer, click the "No boot-loader" button, and then Next to continue. You can now watch as PC-BSD installs on your computer.
When it finishes, the installer will ask you to set the root (administrative) password and make a login account. Be careful when you pick your username, as it is case-sensitive. You may want to keep your username lowercase, and spell your full name correctly under Real Name, which is just a description. If you leave the "Auto-login User" box selected, the system will bring you right into the desktop without asking you to log in, which is convenient if you are the only user of a home system. If you share your computer with other users, deselect this box.
When you click Next, the system will set up your account, and then you'll receive a message indicating that the install is complete. Click Finish to reboot into the new system and don't forget to remove the CD once the reboot starts.
The first time you reboot into PC-BSD, you should hear the KDE theme, if you have a working soundcard. Then you'll go through prompts to customize KDE. You'll also receive a KTip that gives tips on using KDE; if you prefer not to see these whenever you start your system, uncheck the "Show tips on startup" box.
Click on the FreeBSD logo (the red icon on the far left of the task bar) to access the KDE menu, which is somewhat like the Windows Start menu. Here you can Log Out, which allows you to End Current Session (log off), Turn Off Computer, Restart Computer, or Cancel if you've changed your mind. If you have a fairly recent computer, the Turn Off Computer option should do just that without you having to push the power button yourself.
The Lock Session button will save what you are doing and go into a locked screensaver. If you click your mouse button, you will see a password prompt to unlock the screensaver. This is a good option if you want to leave your computer and don't want anyone else using it or seeing what you were doing.
Run Command is similar to the Windows
run command. If you already know the name of the command, you can type it in. If you click the Options button, you can also check the box for "Run as a different user," which is similar to the Windows
runas command.
Next in the KDE menu system is the System menu, which provides a quick way to access your Home Folder, Storage Media, Remote Places (similar to My Network Places on Windows), Trash, and Users Folders.
Start with Storage Media. This will open up the Konqueror browser in a view that shows your CD-ROM, floppy, and hard disk. It will also show supported removable media such as USB thumb drives. By default, CDs should auto-mount when you insert them, meaning you can just double-click the CD-ROM icon to see its contents. When you finish, right-click the icon to Eject the CD. If you right-click the floppy icon, you'll see options to Format or Mount the floppy. The format utility can do a quick or full DOS format that Windows systems will understand. You can also choose to format with UFS, which only Unix systems will understand. If you do mount a floppy to view its contents, don't forget to right-click and Unmount it when you finish but before you physically eject the floppy. This lets the operating system know that you have finished using the floppy.
PC-BSD comes with a SMB client, which makes it easy to access shared folders on Windows systems, other PC-BSD systems, and any other Unix-like system that provides a SMB client. If you go into Remote Places and double-click Samba Shares, you should be able to see all of the aforementioned systems on your network. If you double-click a system, you should be able to access its shares. Note: XP systems running SP2 have a firewall automatically enabled, so you may have to (carefully) configure an XP system's firewall before you can access its shares inside your own network.
Here is an easy method to configure your own shares: from Remote Places, right-click the word Desktop that appears in the left-hand pane and select Create Folder. Select your new folder, and then right-click in the right pane and Create New -> Text File. Double-click the file to edit it and then save your changes. Now, right-click your folder and choose Properties -> Share and click the Configure File Sharing button. You must then type in the root password. (Note: whenever you're prompted for the root password, if you select the box "Keep password," you won't be prompted again the next time you run that specific utility.) If you keep the default of "Simple sharing," users can share any of their own files without knowing the root password.
Next in the menu is the Settings section, which is similar to Windows Control Panel. If you plan on viewing or changing several settings, use Control Center, which provides an interface for each section in this menu. Alternately, you can navigate the Settings menu, which contains "Appearance & Themes," Desktop, "Internet & Network," KDE Components, Peripherals, "Regional & Accessibility," "Security & Privacy," "Sound & Multimedia" and System Administration. This is where you can customize your operating system to your tastes. I recommend you spend some time trying out all of the various options for yourself. There is a lot here, so you might want to try out a few things every time you use your computer.
Hint: if you like to use keyboard shortcuts, check out "Regional & Accessibility" -> Keyboard Shortcuts to view and change the default shortcuts.
The KDE menu also provides a quick way to access Home (Personal Files), the KDE Help system, the Find Files/Folders utility, and the Control Center.
KDE Programs is similar to the Windows Programs menu. Here you will find all of the KDE applications categorized into Games, Graphics, Internet, Multimedia, Office, Settings, System, and Utilities. Again, there is a lot here, so make a point to discover at least one new utility whenever you use your computer.
The final option on the KDE menu is unique to PC-BSD: Computer. It provides another way to access your Drives and the Local Network. There is also the PC-BSD Settings menu, where you can Add User, configure your Display, configure your Keyboard, and configure your Mouse, as well as access Network Manager, Online Update, PBI Update Check, Printer Manager, Remove Programs, Sound Mixer, and System.
Network Manager is similar to Windows Network Connections as it allows you to view your network adapters and modify their TCP/IP settings. I want to spend some more time on a few of the other menu items.
Hint: if you use your numlock key, go into the Keyboard menu and select "Turn on" under the "NumLock on KDE Startup" section.
System is somewhat like the Windows System icon, but with a BSD twist. The General tab indicates both the version of PC-BSD and the FreeBSD version it is based upon. For example, mine says:
PC-BSD Version: 1.0rc2
Base Version: 6.0-RELEASE-p3
-p3 indicates it is FreeBSD 6.0 at the third patch level.
This tab also contains a Generate button, which is a very convenient way to generate a diagnostics report. More advanced users will appreciate having /var/run/dmesg.boot,
dmesg, /etc/rc.conf, /boot/loader.conf,
df, and
ps in one written report. Less advanced users can send a generated report to their nearest guru or support person.
The Kernel tab allows you to select from a single processor or multi-processor kernel. It also provides check boxes to enable a splash screen or ATAPI DMA Mode. You can also select the boot delay number of seconds in this tab.
The Services tab allows you to select whether to start the SSH, NFS, Samba, and CUPS daemons at boot time.
The Tasks menu is the real jewel of this utility (see Figure 1). Click on Fetch System Source to connect to a
cvsup server and fetch src. Note that this will take a while the first time you run it, as you'll be downloading over 400MB of src. However, subsequent
cvsup runs will go quickly, as the utility needs to download only the src that has changed since your last fetch. Power users who wish to modify the default cvs-supfile will find it in /root/standard-supfile.
Figure 1. The Tasks menu
The Tasks tab also contains a button to Fetch Ports using
portsnap. The first time you run this utility, be patient, as it will take a while to download and extract the entire ports tree. Even if it seems nothing is happening for a very long time, it is working--simply go do something else until it says it is finished. The next time you run this utility, it will be very quick, as it needs to download only the changes to the ports collection.
On a PC-BSD system, there are three built-in mechanisms for installing software. You can use the ports collection, meaning you
cd into the desired ports subdirectory and type
make install clean. You can also use the packages collection, meaning you type
pkg_add -r name_of_package.
The easiest way for new users to install software is to download a PBI to the Desktop, and double-click the PBI to start its installer. The PC-BSD site has plenty of PBI screenshots.
The advantage to PBI is that the installer offers to create shortcuts both on the Desktop and in the Programs menu of the KDE menu. This makes it easy to find your applications and remember which applications you have installed.
PBIs also come with their own de-installers, in Computer -> PC-BSD Settings -> Remove Programs. Simply highlight the desired program and click the Remove button. Note: this will not work for programs installed through the ports or packages collections; for these, you need to type
pkg_delete -x name_of_program.
The Online Update in Computer -> PC-BSD Settings is one of the slickest utilities that comes with this operating system (Figure 2). Similar to Windows Update, it can check your operating system and programs for both security vulnerabilities and new features. Once instructed to do so, it will download and apply any missing patches for you. You can also use this utility to safely upgrade your operating system when a new version becomes available.
Figure 2. Online Update
If you select "Check for updates," you have the option to automatically schedule the process on a daily or weekly basis.
If you prefer to manually watch the process, instead click the Check Now button. When I tested my version of PC-BSD, it was only nine days old, so I received a "Your system is up-to-date" message. However, when I tried this on an older version back in November, I saw Figure 3. By highlighting one of the entries and clicking on the "More info" button, I was able to get more detailed information about a given feature or security vulnerability. When I clicked Next, the patches were applied.
Figure 3. Update Now!
Note that patches that affect the kernel will require a reboot. The computer will automatically do this for you.
For novice users, there are currently three available web browsers: Konqueror, which comes installed with KDE, and Firefox and Opera, which are available for download from the PBI directory.
To install browser Java support, download and run the PBI for the Java Runtime (you can find this easily if you search the PBI directory for "java"). During installation, you will be prompted to accept the Sun licensing agreement. Once installed, you can verify Java support in Konqueror or Firefox by typing
about:plugins into the Location bar. In Opera, type
Note: at the time of this writing, there is a bug that prevents Firefox from correctly seeing Java support. Hopefully it has been corrected by the time you read this.
Hint: a good site to test your browser is www.privacy.net. Click on the hyperlink for Analyzer at the bottom of the page.
To install Flash support, download the Flash plugin. If Flash doesn't immediately show up in Konqueror when you type "about:plugins," go to Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Plugins. Click on the "Scan for New Plugins" button and it will enable Flash support.
For Firefox, go to Programs Menu -> Firefox -> Install Flash Plugin, which will prompt you for the root password. When finished, Flash support will now show in
For Opera, simply download the PBI for "Opera with Flash" and enjoy.
If you haven't had a chance to try out PC-BSD, take some time to install and poke about this user-friendly operating system. If you're looking for a free and stable operating system for friends or family, burn them an ISO and have them give it a test drive.
The PC-BSD engineering team appreciates all feedback and suggestions for improving the operating system from a user perspective. The email address for the project lead is available from the PC-BSD contact page. Don't be surprised if you see one of your feature requests implemented in a later version of PC-BSD.

Nearly 100 local veterans are being treated to a trip of a lifetime Saturday.
The latest Freedom Honor Flight to Washington D.C., took off this morning from La Crosse's airport.
It's a day of recognition that most World War 2 and Korean War veterans never really experienced as service men and women.
For the first time, the majority of those on board are Korean War veterans, but there are still some World War II Vets on the flight including a husband and wife who became the first couple ever to take the journey together.
"Couldn't believe it," said Maynard Tauscher a World War 2 Vet.
"Surprised, that there's so many," said Kay Tauscher, Maynard's wife and World War 2 Vet.
Early Saturday morning the Tauscher's were among one hundred local veterans who made their way to La Crosse Municipal Airport for this latest Freedom Honor Flight.
It's a free trip for veterans to Washington D.C., to visit the monuments built in honor of their service and sacrifice, and for Kay, savoring the moment is extra special.
"Because he's something special," Kay said about her husband.
The West Salem couple is the first husband and wife to take the trip together, but that's not all.
"[A] couple of folks on this flight today are also having a birthday today," said Bill Hoel of Freedom Honor Flight.
Maynard gets to celebrate his 91st birthday truly in high-flying fashion, and with the girl he fell in love with so long ago.
"It'll be a good birthday present," said Maynard.
They first met while serving in the coast guard. She worked the switchboard and he as a first-class fireman.
"There were four of us out one night, and that's when Japan hit Pearl Harbor," said Maynard. "We, all four, decided to go sign up the next day. We all went down to go sign up and we all got in."
And then you met me," laughed Kay.
The Tauschers have loved and laughed their way through 68 years of marriage, but never thought they'd get the opportunity for this trip of a lifetime.
"We never really thought we were really that important," said Kay. "There's so many others."
"Oh yeah," said Maynard.
"And I got you babe," Kay joked.
"You had to bring that up, huh?" asked Maynard.
"Huh?" asked Kay.
"Oh boy," said Maynard.
So as these two love birds take flight, they know they'll have the perfect flying companion sitting right next to them.

Two College Scholars present research at national conference
[caption id="attachment_758" align="alignleft" width="250" caption="Seniors Danielle Cifone and Laurel White"][/caption] Laurel White '10 and Danielle Cifone '10 presented their research at the
National Collegiate Honors Council
's (NCHC) 44th Annual Conference in Washington, D.C., Oct. 28-31. Only 22 students nationwide were selected to present their work at this prestigious event. White's presentation was titled "British Perceptions of the '08 Race to the White House" and Cifone's was titled "The Power of Narratives: Purple Hibiscus and Nigerian Culture." Both women are working on their honors theses and plan to graduate in June as College Scholars. White, an English major with minors in interactive media studies and social change/public advocacy, conducted her project research while studying abroad in England in fall 2008 with the support of a Richter Grant for Undergraduate Research. This was her fourth conference paper presentation and her second national conference. Among her many service and leadership roles on campus, White serves as editor-in-chief of the
North Central Chronicle
, was selected for the highly competitive 2009 NEW Leadership Illinois program, and has held an international journalism internship at MSN UK and a domestic public policy internship at the Illinois Physical Therapy Association. She plans to pursue graduate studies in public policy.

Crop could solve many problemsApril 05,2013
Crop could solve many problems
Hemp, anyone? An amazingly strong natural fiber, used successfully in wartime, illegal? Vermont could fund its entire corrections system with a modest hemp crop grown on state land. A larger crop could fund our entire social service system (there would be no need to nickel and dime our most vulnerable and needy neighbors). Vermont leads? Selectively, for sure. Cannabis, a weed, has many positive uses. Several states have recognized that the illegal status of cannabis is foolhardy and that marijuana is demonstrably far less harmful to society than either alcohol or cigarettes. The federal classification of marijuana is wrong and must be changed. Oxycontin, anyone? Or perhaps you prefer a little Lorazepam. We do have a serious drug problem in this country, and it may well be that history will reveal marijuana to be a solution rather than a problem. Things change. Slavery was real. The conversation has come a long way. Lets keep it going.

text: In its biggest lawn mower tests ever, Consumer Reports rates more than 70 mowers. Key is how evenly they cut and mulch … how much their bags can hold … and how well they discharge clippings. (NATSOT: Discharging) Several of the mowers tested are electric, including some that are cordless. Electrics are better for the environment, and they're quieter. But Consumer Reports finds self-propelled gas mowers are generally much better at cutting grass. "You'll pay more for a self-propelled mower, but if you've got a larger lawn, or if you just want an easier time mowing your lawn, then this is a feature that you should consider." But don't pay extra for large rear wheels. They're not worth it. Peter Sawchuk, "We found in our testing that because these wheels are located father back, it takes more force to push down and turn the mower, compared to a conventional mower." Among self-propelled mowers, Consumer Reports named this Toro Recycler a Best Buy for 350 dollars. It has rear-wheel drive and performs almost as well as mowers that cost twice as much.

Good product

The only reason this product does not receive a 5 from me is because I was not able to have it shipped to my APO address. It counts for something to me when a company honors our military families that endure enough challenges without having shipping discrimination. We had it shipped to a family member who then shipped the package to us. By our calculations, the costs would have been less to our APO address than to the Stateside address!
Great Tea

I was drinking Traditional Medicinals Raspberry Red Leaf Tea(Organic) for a couple of months so I decided to make a switch to try out this tea since it is more cheaper and it comes in a huge bag of tea leaves! The tea was nicely packed in the foil and it does has some clumps together, it really does smells like raspberry! The tea itself is not sweet and is very mild, I think it can be used almost every day. It does help to warm my body as well, will be ordering another bag of tea after this!

Beat by blue, bring on game two
Its 5am and I'm getting stuff ready for my yard sale. As I type it is sprinkling out. As much as is sucks losing to the Dodgers at home (I hate losing to the Dodgers) I had fun and met a couple of fellow bloggers.
I didn't get to socialize with them as it was during batting practice and I don't talk too much durring BP.
Here is Emily, creator and writer of the Blog I Live for This and Tom Walsh, creator and writer of Rocky Mountain Way…Outside Coors looking in.
Both Rockies blogs and both excellent ones.
Batting practice was quite slow. I think maybe 10 BP homeruns were hit total. I snagged a toss up from Spilborghs which I gave to a kid behind me and I snagged another on the fly from Dodgers # 14 Juan Castro. I gave that ball to Emily.
I don't have time to do a monster blog but I took some pretty cool pictures last night. I was lucky yesterday and Dan hooked me up with "Row 1" seats (Thanks Dan). I was about as far left in the Pavilion as you can go. Excellent home run seats.
Nothing was hit in my direction.
Here is a shot of the field from my seat.
Manny got the ball rolling for the Dodgers and in the end the Rockies lost 6-5 in what I thought was a great game, you know except for the loss.
More pictures on this entry when I can. I'll leave you with one of Helton and one of Manny.
Back atcha later…D

Good luck with the yard sale and it's great that you got to meet Tom & Emily!
Good luck with the yard sale! I always hated those because people that I don't know walking through my house bugs me. Of course, "yard sale" might actually mean "in the yard" in CO.
Great pictures!
Kylie — http://kylie.mlblogs.com
I thought it was a great game (except for the loss!) as well. We had a great time. Saw you during BP. I'll be there again tonight with one of my kiddos, and hoping for no rain!
Hope your sale goes well. It's a cold day for that!
Wow the trio of writing Rockies.
Great to see Tommy and Emily chilling at the games.
I have a theory that in April, with the air not dense with humidity, you get less balls going high and out of the yard unless hit perfectly on the sweet spot.
I know that works for locals with high temps and humidity swings, but I am unfamiliar with Coors Field's barometic pressure situations.
The balls will come, we all know that.
Hope the Garage Sale is a huge success, and you get more than you dreamed of for your sales items.
Rays Renegade
hey D, I'll be at the game tomorrow. If I see you, I'll be sure to say hello. It's autograph Sunday, though, so I might not make it out towards the pavillion. Hagg'n starts tomorrow for me!
ALEX-I'll be going for a few autographs myself, see you there.
RAYSREN-That was cool meeting Tom and Emily. I looked to chat with them later(I don't talk too much during BP) but couldn't find them .
LUVMYROX-It was really cool to meet you. I have to tell you that I was feeling a tad ill yesterday, and I apoligize for not being a little more social and taking your picture. I owe you a snagged baseball, I bobbled the one I was going to give you.
KYLIE-I'm with you on the yard sale. I hate people going through your stuff, but most of it is usable and I hate to throw it away.
JULIA-Thanks, it was very cool.
Getting baseballs is tough for those of us that only want to catch them and not ask or use a device! Keep up the good work and keep taking all the grat pictures! I have grabbed 8 balls this week and 7 are of the hit variety. Only 1 was thrown! I did however get a few cool autographs!
Major League Ballhawk
I used to live a few blocks from Coors Field in the Ballpark Lofts, and definitely miss games at that stadium. I am glad to hear that you're having a good time so far this season. I am not sure how the Dodgers are doing it with that pitching staff, but I suspect they'll come back to earth soon. Enjoy!

2013 Shell golf tourney a sell-out
2013 Shell golf tourney a sell-out
WESTOVER, MD - (June 12, 2013) – Ideal weather, tall tales and great shots made the 2013 edition of the Art Shell Celebrity Golf Tournament another resounding success.
Thirty-six foursomes – a sold-out field of linksters – played alongside former athletes who volunteer to help Shell with the annual fund-raiser for UMES, his alma mater.
Returning for the second year in a row was former Washington Redskin Doug Williams, the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl XXII.
Williams is head football coach at his alma mater, Grambling University, and said he looked forward to returning to the Eastern Shore after his first Shell tourney in 2012.
"These (events) are a lot of fun," Williams said. "You get to meet some really nice people and it's a chance to do a little something for people who might not have it as good as we did coming up."
The Shell tournament is organized to raise scholarship funds for deserving students, including those who might want to study in UMES' golf management program.
Tournament organizers assigned Williams to play alongside an all-female foursome of Toni Clarke, Regina Durso, Jane Lanier and UMES alumna Velma Shipp - all of whom described the former quarterback as a "real gentleman," a "terrific guy" and "not a bad golfer."
Williams said his teammates were too generous with their praise about his golfing skills.
For the second year in a row, a team of executives from Delmarva Power headed by UMES Board of Visitor member John Allen turned in a winning card with a combined score of 55. The celebrity playing with Allen's team was … the tournament host.
Allen insisted after the tournament that their combined score was legitimate, an assertion that prompted guffaws from fellow competitors.
Shell, tournament director Marshall Cropper and their peers who played football when the university fielded a team were moved by the appearance of their coach, Roosevelt Sandy Gilliam.
Gilliam, now 80, coached during the mid-1960s when old Maryland State College routinely sent players like Cropper, Shell and Emerson Boozer on to professional football.
"Being around these guys back then was a special time in my life," Gilliam said.
Gilliam, who recently had surgery to his knees and uses a scooter to get around, traveled with his family from their home in Lancaster, S.C. to participate in the festivities.
His wife, Betty, said she could see her husband become energized by each well-wisher who stopped to chat with him. "He's really enjoying himself," she said.
It was evident, too, to the dozens of competitors and onlookers waiting for the traditional pre-tournament photo that Gilliam's former players revere him when they saw him join them for the picture.
"We know it's tough for coach Gilliam to travel," Cropper said. "It means a lot to all of us that he came."
Team Delmarva Power, (top) from left, Stan Botts, John Allen, John Petito and Neil Baker, watch as celebrity teammate and tournament host Art Shell makes a putt. The team took first place with a score of 55 in round robin play. Baker also took awards for the men's longest drive at hole #8 and closest to the pin at hole #17.

You also can't follow the rules if you don't know them ...
No. 2: Know your school's policy
This one harkens back to the earlier point about being respectful of others, but you should also be respectful to your institution. Your school probably has rules governing your use of social media, and learning those rules can keep you out of hot water.
In some cases, schools outright forbid their teachers from having Facebook pages. Your school may also have strict guidelines for a club's Facebook page.
Of course, they can't keep you from personally having a page and you can talk about whatever you want there, but they may have limits in place about what -- in their name -- you can do.
Whether or not these policies are legal or ethical is a debate for another venue, the point here is that you should know and understand your school's policies.
But there is one social media rule that students and parents should know above all else ...
No. 1: Be sure to stay safe
This is Internet 101, and the source material for so many Lifetime network movies, but it bears repeating: Be safe online. Be careful about what information you give out, because it can be used against you.
If you're in a chat room or in a new environment, you should already know not to give out your last name or age, or any personally identifiable information.
But beyond that, take a look at your profile page on whatever social media platform you're using. Look at what information is available. Is your phone number on there? Are your privacy settings solid?
Posting a picture of yourself at track practice with a caption like "This is what we do every day from 3 to 5!" seems innocuous enough, but it can give creeps the information they want.
Having too much personal information and weak security can leave you open for ne'er-do-wells who want to harm you.

As with John Paul Jones and Ernest Freed, Lee Chesney studied at the University of Iowa under Mauricio Lasansky. After teaching for nearly two decades at the University of Illinois, Chesney made his way to Los Angeles in 1967, the year of this print. He spent a year filling in at Otis for Freed, who was on sabbatical, and then settled into a full-time position at the University of Southern California. Chesney created only one lithograph at Tamarind. Like his teacher Lasansky, he was most comfortable with intaglio printmaking, and he had a deep understanding of the technique. Indeed, Stanley William Hayter, who founded Atelier 17 and who was arguably responsible for bringing intaglio printmaking to the modern era, once declared that Chesney "was the best printmaker [he] had ever met."

How long do lates report? I had a card that was late in 2006 ( 30+60+90+120). It was paid to zero and closed a month after it ws paid.
How long will this be on my report? 5 years or 10?

About 7 - 7 1/2 years then they drop off. So mid-late 2013 they should fall off for you.
Just to clarify, the lates will start falling off 7-7.5 years and since the account wasn't charged off, the account should turn to a postive account and then continue to report for ~10 years from the date of closure.
I assume it wasn't charged off by your statement that it went 120 days late, you paid it and then they closed it. It if was in fact charged off, then the entire account will fall off in 7-7.5 years.
To clairy a bit of confusion late payments can report no longer than 7 years from each individual date of delinquency. The 7.5 year CRTP is for collections and charge offs.
Why was my post moved? It is regarding a credit card.

Because it was more about the lates being removed than the card itself.
OK well I see other post regarding lates are in the credit card section.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Hinata will awaken the Mangekyo Byuakugan!
Originally Posted by Kikki

nice chapter, specially with the naru hina thing, at least its getting off nw, afta all the years of naruto ignoring the girl
I wouldn't say it was boring because if you look closely in the last chapter you will see that Hinata couldn't spin as fast as neji, but now that the nine tails/naruto has give chakra to hinata with the hand holding scene, I believe she will be able to spin faster than any Byakugan weilder ever could. The reason for this is because, Kurama's chakra can rapidly heal its jinchuuriki, and give them added strength and speed. But now since naruto has come to peace with his tailed beast he is willingly giving anyone chakra on the battle field. With that said I think that if Hinata does use the kyubi's chakra wisely she will spin fast enough, creating one of the most useful defensive Justus on the battlefield. Since naruto's defense was only provided from Kurama when facing Obito, or Madara one on one close combat, now he will have a third defense, Hinata. This part that I said here is true because in the ending of the chapter he said "I will not let go of your hand," so the match up will be Naruto, Hinata, and Kurama v.s Obito and Madara. I think also think that Kurama will allow Hinata into Narutos sub conscious, Kurama will I think make a fool of Naruto and expose his oblivious-ness to Hinatas real feelings. To all naruhina fans (which I am myself) this would be a great WIN for us and most lie,ly be included in the most anticipated Naruto game ever. Naruto Ultimate Ninja STORM: 3.

I am so excited about Obito, what is gonna happen to him? It seems he can't take a clear decision, he has a Chaos Of Feelings.
I think he wants to kill Hinata now to show Naruto how he felt when Rin got killed.
There are still many Questions:
Why Rin got killed that day?
What is with the Kages?
What's the Plan of Shikaku?
What's up with Saske and co.?
Can't wait to get all answers! ;D
if obito tries to kill hinata, i really hope he fails, and that naruto finally shows that he is more powerful than obito. i like hinata

Awsome Naruhina stuff great Chapter.
good chapter although im not a big fan of chapters where all they do is talk but naruto actually showed some feelings for hinata,Uzumaki and Hyuga sounds pretty good lol
Well...that is one way to go about the next chapter after Neji dies.
Not what I was thinking at all. But interesting. It is nice to see Hinata pushing forward and not letting Neji's death keep her from the battle.
And go Bee for doing something very...Bee-like
I liked it. Good chapter, good chapter to show the growth of not only naruto, but hinata. Also shows the key difference in naruto and obito. Very essential chapter to this whole series. If you think it was boring or rated it low, I urge you to re-read it, or go read thomas the train...
9ce chapter and filled with emotions to get naruto out of the mystery created by Obito on his thought ...I gv a 10/10
shes just gonna get deaded of anyway. everyones getting excited but this happens all the time. theres gonna be some extreme close up of her face and then PLOOOW! shes dead.
I think this Isis the 1st chapter in a long time that is actually making reference back to the original storyline and not just an endless circle of fighting.I also like the fact that naruto has finally acknowledged hinata I mean its about damn time we saw them together she risked her live for him twice and naruto's mom told him to marry a girl like herself and that is just what his mom would have done for minato so yeah I give this chap a 5/5
i think this chapter was a bomb i loved the way hinata slapped naruto
Originally Posted by I love pancakes

ps. skip to 1.23
love this
I really liked this chapter, because Kishimoto finally answered the question who Naruto is interested in for the people who are in to the whole pairing thing. And Obito trying to get Naruto to give up was also really nice especially with Hinata stating her Nindo after that. But after this one I want them to start the plan of Shikaku or go back to Orochimaru,Sasuke,Suigetsu en Juugo's storyline.
Originally Posted by wondersland

Him not errupting in anger is a sign of growth and maturity. This whole battle is the prophecy the frog talked about. Naruto must make the decision to destroy or save the world... his decision? To save it thanks to the woman that was always there for him since youth, hints... this is probably the strongest chapter to kishimoto if you think about it. The entire story wrapped and explode in this chapter.
i completely agree with whats said here this is the first time in a big fighting situation naruto hasnt errupted in anger or rage. Generally we see Naruto go off on an uncontrollable rampage when events like this happen but he hasnt which does show growth and maturity. And especially with Hinata there to keep him balanced it kinda makes obito and naruto opposites. Kakashi stated that Naruto was much like Obito but the key difference between the two was the female counterparts they had. While Rin was what made Obito insane Naruto has Hinata to keep him sane hence, the reason why i say there opposites.
This was an amazing chapter, we got huge development in just a few pages.
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!all the f%#king way!!!!!!!!whoooooo!!!!!!!!!!¡
i had nothing to say .. nedji was died .. OMG ...
Didnt ten-ten like neji though

Neufeld, Martinsen Reach Milestones For Siena
from press release
LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. - Bryan Neufeld and Danny Martinsen joined some exclusive company Saturday. Neufeld scored his 200th career point and Martinsen added the 100th of his career as the duo combined for 10 points in Siena Lacrosse's 12-9 win over Jacksonville in the conference home opener.
Neufeld finished with six points including his 28th career hat trick, the most amongst all active players in the nation, while Martinsen added a pair of goals and assists as he ran his point streak to 26 games and goal scoring streak to 16 straight.
With his memorable afternoon, Neufeld became just the third player in program history to achieve 200 career points joining Tony Asterino '81 and Tom Baldwin '81. Additionally, he is just the third active player with 200 career points joining Cornell's Rob Pannell and Virginia's Steele Stanwick.
Neufeld, who also passed Baldwin for second on the program's all-time goals list with 143, has gone off for 33 points during the Saints' current five-game winning streak.
Martinsen meanwhile became the 22nd player in program history to join the Century Club and second this season joiningChris Roth.
The duo led the Saints (6-3, 2-0) to a quick start. Siena scored five straight goals including a pair in a 25-second span late in the first quarter to take a commanding early 5-1 lead.
But Jacksonville (4-6, 1-2) responded with five unanswered goals of their own and shutout the Saints during the second quarter to take a 6-5 lead at intermission.The teams traded goals early in the third quarter, but Siena broke an 8-8 tie with Colin Clive's go-ahead goal with 38 seconds remaining in the period. The tally touched off a spurt of four straight goals which proved to be the difference.
Siena out-shot Jacksonville 45-34 and picked up a season-high 44 groundballs. The Saints, which entered the game averaging just 6.5 caused turnovers, created a season-best 14. As a result Jacksonville, which entered the day averaging the fewest turnovers in the MAAC, coughed it up 20 times.
Chris D'Alberti added a hat trick for the Saints which have now won 26 of their last 27 MAAC regular season games and 18 of their last 20 home games overall.
Tom Morr made 13 saves for the Saints, while Peter DeLuca, who leads the nation in saves, added 15 more to keep the Dolphins close. Cameron Mann led Jacksonville's offensive attack with a pair of goals and assists.
The Saints return to action Saturday when they battle MAAC preseason favorite Detroit at 1 p.m. in Michigan.

Great article!
It certainly looks like the best solution is to convince Lin to take a 3 mil contract. (I'm sure he'll play under less pressure that way, and he'll get a lot of extra money anyway.)
But I wonder who made the decision to sign Melo and Amare with that kind of amount when the league-mandated salary cap is $58.044?

March 8 — Did one of your female ancestors leave a diary, journal, or collection of letters? Share an entry or excerpt. Thank you to Lisa at The Accidental Genealogist for the prompts for Fearless Females celebration of Women's History Month. Although I don't have a diary, journal or a collection of letters from my mother or grandmothers, I do have memories of wonderful words.
One of my early blog topics centered around My Mother's Poetry Book. The family love affair with words started with my mother's mother, Grandmother Sigford, born Agnes Laura Keyes. As I look back among Grandmother Sigford's folks, I think it must have been the influence of her father and his family. The Keyes were a well educated family for that time and place and from the handwritten wills that I have examined, the older men, who were raised in Tennessee, wrote with a fine hand. In eastern Oregon where my grandmother was born and raised, it was not unusual for Keyes young people to be sent to Salem or Corvallis for their high school education.
In about 1896, my 15 year-old grandmother left the family ranch outside of the small eastern Oregon town of Mitchell to go to high school in Salem, the state capitol. There she honed her love of words. I remember as a child that if I promised to be very careful, she would open the glass-fronted book case and lovingly take her high school Elocution Book from the shelf. She would then place the book on the kitchen table, which of course had been wiped clean. Then, if my hands were very clean, I would be allowed to look at the pictures, read the poems and stories, and -- once in a while -- she would read to me. Her voice was softer and more like a song during these sessions. I am so fortunate to have had these experiences. The images of those short moments have stayed with me all of these years.
In my collection of family treasures, I have my Grandmother's Children's Friend,which was given to her in 1888, as well as the poetry book she gave to my mother. I still mourn the loss of the wonderful Elocution Book that I remember from my childhood; it was lost due to water damage. However, I do have and will always have the love of words that my Grandmother gave to me.

President-elect Obama's World
Despite a few editorials out of Ukraine, Iraq, and Georgia, the world has been enthusiastic about Obama's victory. Everyone from the French, Germans, Japanese, and all the way to Tonga have been celebrating. However, Obama must now live to very high hopes. Uganda thinks it is Obama's priority while the militant Islamic Army of Iraq (not al Qaeda-related) expects Obama to live up to the hype and Zimbabwe is hoping Obama will not pressure an African nation to reform. America is riding high on the Obama wave but chances are high for disappointment. This should be one of President Obama's main fears.
With Russia moving missiles, Iran and Israel daring each other, and low level monsters all throughout the world: this is not a time for screw ups. Let us hope President Obama is up for it and makes the right calls.

I find Senator Obama's popularity in Europe particularly interesting. I read an article recently that stated their xenophobia and racism would prohibit Mr. Obama from ever being elected to a nationwide post in Europe.
So here's a question for you. Is Barack Obama the first member of an ethnic minority to be democratically elected to lead a country?
I googled that question and the only other person suggested was Stalin, who was Georgian.
- Catholicgauze said...
Hmm... interesting. Europe is notorously racist (in some parts, not all) but I feel Obama is something more of an image to them than a minority.
In the U.S. yes. Charles Curtis, VP for Hoover, was half-Kaw Indian. It can be streched that the U.S. has had many minority presidents if you go on ethnic (Irish, German, English) lines rather than race (White, Black). But White America is so intermixed so that would be a real strech.
As for international there has been a few in South America. Benito Juarez was full blooded Indian in majority Mestezo-Mexico and the same goes for the current President of Boliva. However, those involve cousin-races. Something to research further!

Hmm, there are definately recists in Europe, but calling Europe 'in some parts' notorously racist is quite something.
Maybe that's what the media tells you, in here the media always tells about the racism in the USA:
- Catholicgauze said...
Unfortuanetly there is racism everywhere.
But Europe's open Nazi-like displays in soccer (football) games and the suburbs of Paris' geography of isolation are noticable blights.
Corazon Aquino of Philippines was of Chinese extraction. Peru elected Fujimori who was of Japanese extraction. France has had several Jewish Prime Ministers (Leon Blum, Pierre Mendès-France, Laurent Fabius). New Zealand has also elected three Jewish PMs. The UK had Disraeli who was full blooded Jewish, and in the late 18th and early 19th century had three prime ministers that were of Anglo-Indian extraction although the advent of the Victorian era put an end to all that. Fuji had an Indian PM. Pakistan had Sindhi Benzir Bhutto, and now her Balochi husband. In Pakistan either our President and Prime Minister are usually Sindhi, or Mohajjir, or Pathan, or Balochi, or yet another minority of some kind. Turkey has elected, I believe three Presidents of Kurdish extraction, Hindu India until last year had a Sikh Prime Minister, Muslim President and a Roman Catholic was the head of the Congress Party.
As for racism in Europe as opposed to the Unites States, it depends on which minority you are talking about and in which country. Yes parts of Russia, and large chunks of European soccer culture are very racist but I've been to Indiana and travelled the South and I've seen some pretty interesting things there as well. Canada of course has had a large number of French Canadian Prime Ministers. The Canadian head of state (appointed on advice of the PM) is currently a lady of Haitian decent and she succeeded a lady of Chinese decent.
India had K. R. Narayana, an untouchable as its President in the 90s. And in modern Iran not a single President has hailed from Fars province. Also I think Chavez is Afro-Venzuelan.
Menem of Argentina was of Syrian extraction, Abdalá Bucaram (Lebanese origin), former President of Ecuador; Antonio Saca (Palestinian origin), current President of El Salvador;
Salvador Jorge Blanco (Syrian origin), former President of Dominican Republic; Jamil Mahuad (Lebanese origin), former President of Ecuador; Said Musa (Palestinian origin), current Prime Minister of Belize; Edward Seaga (Lebanese origin), former Prime Minister of Jamaica; Julio Cesar Turbay (Lebanese origin), former President of Colombia.

Williams will have a physical model of the reconstructed mission of 1817 at the meeting.
"The appearance of this Mission has been of interest since there are no ruins, no sketches, no plans and no adequate descriptions in the historical record," Williams said.
Archeological excavation by Msgr. Oberste and collaborators in Refugio in 1936 and follow-up digs by Jim Warren in 1995-1997 uncovered part of the Mission 's foundation. But it was only in 1998-1999 when TxDOT excavated under U.S. 77 that the footprint of the final church was revealed.
Inventories made by the Franciscan missionaries at Refugio in 1796, 1802, 1817 and 1820 showed the evolution of the mission over its life and provided some architectural information. Then began the ferreting out of the design of the Mission at its zenith in 1817.
The reality of the Mission compound in 1817 far exceeds the speculation and earlier models of the Mission . The Refugio Mission was the last major structure built by the Spanish in their Texas colony. It represents the end of an era and the abandonment of the dream of Karankawa civilization.
The meeting is open to the public. The Bayside Community Center is at 909 First Street in Bayside.
The talk will be followed by refreshments, and a door prize.

Since its founding in 1845, Wittenberg has insisted on providing an education that envelops the individual's capacity to think, read, and communicate with precision, understanding, and imagination. A leader in pushing the boundaries of the liberal arts by offering such non-traditional liberal arts programs such as business, computational science and teacher education certification, Wittenberg has attracted students with adventurous spirits for generations and has consistently developed alumni who desire to change the world.
Students here will find a place that embraces the life of the mind, and one that promotes high standards of artistic, scholarly, and scientific inquiry among both students and faculty. For more than 160 years, Wittenberg has helped students discover an enduring passion for learning, which requires risk-taking, persistence, reflection, and high ethical standards. It is the university's greatest hope that when students graduate, they are forever changed and go on to share their talents to make a difference in the community and around the globe.

Things in Washington DC must really be bad if Deven McGraw, Chair of the Privacy and Security Tiger Team and member of the national Health IT Policy Committee, is speaking out so clearly about the lack of privacy protections in federal policy. She states in the article "2012: Time for Action on Health Privacy" that it's time for HHS/ONC to change their "pattern" of "too much talk and not enough action" to protect privacy. Is there a privacy crisis? PPR thinks it's critical to build privacy and patient control over data in up front. Now is the time!
"Consumers and patients support the electronic sharing of health information and are eager to experience the benefits of widespread adoption and use of electronic health records. Yet a substantial majority continue to express significant concerns regarding the impact of e-health on the privacy and security of their health information. According to a recent survey by the Markle Foundation, the privacy of health information is a significant concern for the American public and doctors who serve them.
Building and maintaining public trust in health IT and health information sharing will be critical to leveraging their benefits to improve individual and population health. The rhetoric from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT and HHS has been consistently strong on the importance of respecting the confidentiality of health information; however, with a few exceptions, the pattern has been too much talk and not enough action."

Good things come in small packages
November 24, 2011 —
While the old adage is often true, the opposite (the bigger, the better ) carries some weight as well. I spent the weekend balancing the two, while careening through the Catskills appreciating various art forms, regardless of size.
Speaking of expressions, "the most wonderful time of the year" probably means something different for me, since it's not Christmas, per se, but the abundance of creativity, art and goodwill that resonates as I observe the exhibits, displays, pageants and shows that pop up throughout the holiday season. Although I am most often a casual bystander, every great once in a while, I actually participate. This past Friday I did just that, joining my fellow "yarnslingers" in a storytelling event held at Cafe Devine (www.cafedevine.com) in Callicoon, NY.
The absurd early blizzard a few weeks ago kept the yarnslingers at home and for a moment, we all thought that our "true ghost stories" would have to be shelved until next Halloween, but fate (I mean Patti Devine) stepped in and gave the group a space to spin our tales. A packed house mingled at the café while the assorted short stories unfolded. One of the elements of this group that I love is the constraints placed on the writer—in this case, the number of words (just over 500) that they are allowed to use. It's a challenge to create a beginning, middle and end within those parameters, but local authors Ann Finneran, Kalika Stern, Kazzrie Jaxen, Ramona Jan, Patti Zins, Marion Kaselle and Maura Stone joined father/daughter team Jason and Jill Rahm (and me) as we slung (is that a word?) the yarns in funny, sometimes touching and widely different forms. Mine was kinda boring (IMHO) but at least it was brief.
Moving on to more small things, the Alliance Gallery (www.artsallincesite.org) debuted its annual "Art In Sixes" show in Narrowsburg over the weekend. Dubbed a "small works exhibition," this show is comprised of works no larger than six inches in any direction. Once again, imposing constraints on artists appears to challenge them into working overtime in the creativity department, making this year's exhibit (ironically) bigger and better than ever. With over 200 pieces in all, the program sums it up by saying that "it is the innovation and quality of the work that keeps the exhibit fresh each year. The underlying beauty of the collection is the wide variety of mediums represented."

New process for tourism dollars; critics call it a political payoff
January 27, 2012 —
The newly-seated Sullivan County Legislature on January 26 voted to change the way it awards about $700,000 in room-tax revenue to promote tourism in the county. For the past 12 years, the legislature has negotiated with and awarded a yearly contract to the Sullivan County Visitors Association (SCVA).
Now, however, the legislature is issuing a request for proposals (RFP) and will be accepting proposals from SCVA and other organizations. The move prompted a parade of SCVA members to speak up during the public comment period at the monthly county meeting in Monticello.
Several members of the SCVA board said the timing of the change could be harmful to the tourism industry, which is the second largest industry in the county.
Stacy Cohen, owner of the Dancing Cat Saloon and Catskill Distillery, warned that issuing an RFP at this time would disrupt the production of promotional materials for the coming summer season, which are already being prepared. She said, "This is the only time that we have to put our marketing and advertising together for the summer."
Jill Wiener, proprietor of Earth Girl Pottery, echoed that idea. She said, "We are just in the midst of putting the final touches on our travel guide, which this year is expanded to have a whole new wedding and celebrations section, we're in the middle of putting together driving tours for the county; this is very badly timed."
Another criticism of the move was that it was not done in the open. Democrats in the legislature now outnumber Republicans seven to two; Republican legislator Alan Sorensen said that all of the discussion about SCVA and the RFP process was done in the Democratic caucus, and he had only learned about the vote an hour before the meeting started.
SCVA has about 300 members, and they were not invited to provide input regarding the matter. Laurie Stuart, publisher of The River Reporter, said, "I advocate that you take a look at the process, and that you include stakeholders, that you take a step back, that you table the resolution."
Kitty Vetter made a motion to table it, and that was defeated 4-5.
Promoting tourism is good
Promoting tourism is good decision actually. And tourist industry have that much weightage in county. Though RFP has some benefits, there are also some issues regarding promotion of materials. This should be taken into consideration. parental control software

A moped rider was killed in a crash early Sunday morning.
A mangled moped lay along Woodlawn Drive for over an hour following the accident.
"I woke up to a large crash soundand I looked out my window. There was guy sprawled out, his moped down and parts were everywhere," said Manoa resident Scott Kikiloi.
Police officers were able to determine the 54-year-man on the moped was coming down Woodlawn Drive just after 7 in the morning, when he lost control and struck a telephone pole.
Police did not find any signs of alcohol or signs the rider tried to brake before the crash. There were no skid marks before the pole, just marks on the roads where the moped and the man ended up.
"We called the ambulance, but he had head trauma and he didn't look good. We just tried to get the cars to stop because they were still trying to go up and down the road even with the accident," said Kikiloi.
After neighbors rushed in to help, police arrived and closed the road. Then investigators spent two hours looking for clues into the crash.
Neighbors said they were shocked this was a fatality, but they weren't surprised an accident happened. Manoa residents claim that section of the Woodlawn Drive is an accident waiting to happen.
"Cars usually speed up and downand there's a bend over here that's difficult for drivers sometimes. Especially at nighttime, people are really whipping it around this road," said Kikiloi.
The moped rider was not wearing a helmet. He was taken to the hospital in extremely critical condition but did not survive his injuries.
The accident has also left scars on the neighbors who tried to help.
"It was pretty traumatic seeing all that stuff this morning," said Kikiloi.
The medical examiner has not yet released the name of the moped rider or determined the exact cause of death.
