Sharna Johnson, Freedom New Mexico
Five Clovis males have been arrested in connection with the most recent in a string of home invasions spanning the last two weeks.
Police said they believe there are more suspects at large who were involved in the recent home invasions and advised residents to remain vigilant and cautious as the investigation continues.
Police Capt. Patrick Whitney said the five charged are all active gang members.
"It's still under investigation. Not only the involvement these in custody may have had … But we believe there are other affiliated (West Side Locos) gang members that were involved," Whitney said.
Police released the names Wednesday of two adults and three juveniles charged in Tuesday's home invasion on Sheldon Street.
The five are accused of breaking into a home at 1700 Sheldon on Tuesday morning, battering the male occupant and shooting at him as he escaped the scene.
The victim, Justin Lawson, 28, sustained head injuries from being struck with a gun. He was treated at Plains Regional Medical Center and released.
Whitney said police are investigating the group's possible involvement in two other Clovis home invasions and law enforcement agencies in Curry County, Portales and Muleshoe are conducting investigations to determine if the five were involved in incidents in their jurisdiction.
Whitney said information gained from interviews with the suspects have tied them to other incidents and additional charges are possible, pending the completion of those investigations.
Through interviews with the defendants, Jeremy Enriquez, 19, was identified as the individual who threatened Lawson at gunpoint, struggled with him and shot at him, Whitney said.
Enriquez also threatened his girlfriend and her children at gunpoint and threatening one of her children with a knife, police said.
Enriquez' girlfriend led police to her Wallace Street home Tuesday morning where the group was found.
In subsequent interviews, Whitney said the woman told police Enriquez held her 2-year-old child with a knife to the child's stomach while threatening her against talking to police.
Police found a nick on the child's stomach as she described, Whitney said.
Fernando Romero, 22, was charged for calling Enriquez' girlfriend a snitch and suggesting the group should kill her, Whitney said. Police do not believe Fernando Romero was involved in Tuesday's burglary but are investigating his possible role in other incidents, he said.
Suspects Arrested
Police Capt. Patrick Whitney said the following individuals were charged in connection with Tuesday's home invasion:
• Raynaldo "Jeremy" Enriquez, 19 — Aggravated burglary, two counts of aggravated battery, four counts of child abuse, four counts of false imprisonment, possession of stolen property, two counts of aggravated assault, kidnapping, tampering with evidence, three counts of contributing to delinquency of a minor, intimidation of a state's witness and conspiracy to commit a felony.
Jail officials said Enriquez is being held on $215,340 bond.
• Fernando Romero, 22 —Intimidation of a state's witness. Romero's bond is $5,000, jail officials said.
• Alex Romero, 16 — Aggravated burglary, conspiracy to commit a felony.
• Mark Aaragon, 15 — Aggravated burglary, conspiracy to commit a felony.
• Oscar Hernandez, 16 — Aggravated burglary, conspiracy to commit a felony and concealing identity
Alex Romero, Aragon and Hernandez were taken to the Juvenile Detention Center, Whitney said.
Robbery Recap
Around 2 a.m. Tuesday police responded to a shots fired call in the area near 1700 Sheldon Street.
Officers found 28-year-old Justin Lawson walking along the street bleeding from a head wound.
Lawson told officers he was house-sitting for a friend and woke when several masked males crashed through the door.
One of them had a gun and ordered him to the ground while the others tried to wrap him in a sheet.
Lawson said he fought for the gun and the struggle moved to the front yard where he was able to pull away.
As he ran from the scene, he said he heard three to four shots fired in his direction.
Lawson suffered head wounds from being struck by a gun.
• • •
As officers interviewed Lawson, sheriff's deputies patrolling the area came across a 29-year-old female walking near 16th Street.
She was intoxicated and in an agitated state. As officers talked with her she wasn't making sense and when they asked her if she had seen the suspects, she pointed them away from the area, saying she saw them leave.
Officers felt she was trying to misdirect them and asked her where she lived.
The woman led them to her home at 1607 Wallace and gave them permission to enter.
The home is located north and along the same alley as the home where the burglary occurred.
• • •
Inside a bedroom, officers found five male subjects laying on the floor and bed pretending to be asleep.
The suspects were detained for questioning.
Later interviews with the suspects revealed information linking them to other home invasions.
• • •
One of the juveniles displayed symptoms of internal injuries police believe he received from a crash when the suspects engaged a Curry County Sheriff's Deputy in a high speed chase on air base highway (N.M. 467) Sunday night in a vehicle stolen from a Portales residence.
Officers also found "high-dollar" male clothing covered in fresh cow manure in the trunk of Jeremy Enriquez' car, evidence indicating the suspects fled the crash and hid at a nearby dairy while law enforcement searched for them in neighboring fields.
In the home, officers located a revolver similar to the one described by Lawson and found jewelry and checkbooks belonging to a home invasion victim in Portales.

Happiness through Ignorance
By user12619798 on Jan 05, 2006
What sort of messages an OS can or should emit during boot has been (and will likely continue to be) the subject of much debate (which I'm not going to go into here). The two extremes usually are a message for everything (note that the definition of "a thing" is very vague). The other extreme is no messages unless something truly fatal has occurred. In current Solaris bits (s10u1 and current nv bits) there's an unsupported/undocumented mode that goes one step further: It doesn't even bother the user when something truly fatal has occurred.
The reason for this has less to do with the fact that we like to see how far we can push things, but rather that the implementation is still incomplete. As such it's not only unsupported, but in fact unsupportable, as there is no code in place that will get the console back into text mode in case of a sufficiently fatal event. Such an event may be anything that to requires sulogin (single user login) to run in order to repair the system, or worse, a system panic.
What it does do, is display a pretty picture (which could be prettier1)while the system boots (and hopefully nothing goes wrong), up until the X-server starts taking over the console.
Warnings and disclaimers:
The current code is quite primitive in that it assumes a VGA device. There are graphics cards out there that don't actually support VGA, so this mode should not be enabled this on a system with such a card. Doing so anyway will likely lead to a hang and no pretty picture.
So, if the previous text was too vague: Please enable this only
Now, here's how you flip it on:
Graphics boot mode is controlled by the console property. It can either be set via eeprom(1M) in bootenv.rc or on the fly on the grub kernel command line. The latter is probably the better idea because you can just make another menu entry and power-cycle and fall back to the non-graphics one should things decide to hang. Here's an example of such menu entries (they live in /boot/grub/menu.lst):
title Solaris 11 nv_15 X86 root (hd0,1,a) kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive title Solaris happy face root (hd0,1,a) kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot -B console=graphics module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
If eeprom was used to set the console property to "graphics", it can be overridden by specifying it on-the-fly on the GRUB kernel line (by hitting 'e' and editing the entry) and setting it to "text" like so:
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot -B console=text
Adding your own pretty picture:
The graphics file that's loaded is /boot/solaris.xpm and needs to be 15 colors 640x480 - error checking on the image file is minimal, so make sure you get the image right or things will look ugly.
1 Since this is still "engineering only / experimental code" the image had no help from any of our graphic artists. Such folks have since shown me that they can easily outperform me when it comes to making an image look good in high rez VGA mode 640x480x4 (4-bit, 16 colors).

text: Artful skiing boils down to this: when, where and how you turn. The "when" and the "where" are totally up to you. The how, though, leaves less room for personal choice or impulse. Steering your skis, no matter when and no matter where, is best accomplished by turning—or, more specifically, twisting—your legs. Doing so without involving the rest of your body is crucial, but it's harder than it sounds. This month, we show you how to separate the actions of your upper and lower body for strong and accurate turns. In doing so, you'll separate yourself from most of the skiers out there.

January 2011
A periodic bulletin keeping small businesses informed about current developments in securities law and related matters
On January 25, 2011 the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted final rules to implement the say-on-pay and say-on-golden parachute provisions of Section 951 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; the adopting release is available at www.sec.gov/rules/final/2011/33-9178.pdf. The final rules, which are generally consistent with the rules the SEC proposed in October, require SEC reporting companies to provide their stockholders, at least once every three years, with a non-binding vote "to approve the compensation of its named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to" the SEC's compensation disclosure requirements, also known as say-on-pay.
The final rules clarify that a say-on-pay vote is required with respect to a solicitation for an annual meeting at which directors will be elected or a special meeting in lieu thereof, for which the SEC's rules require compensation disclosure. Unlike the proposed rules, the final rules make clear that the say-on-pay vote is not required with respect to a stockholder meeting if directors are not being elected at such meeting, even if compensation disclosure in the related proxy statement is required under SEC rules. The final rules also clarify that such vote is required at least once every three calendar years, as opposed to within three years of the most recent vote, and that the rules do not change the scaled disclosure requirements for smaller reporting companies (SEC reporting companies with a public float below $75 million). In other words, smaller reporting companies will not, as a result of the new rules, be required to provide in their proxy statements a Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) or the other disclosure items in Item 402 of Regulation S-K that they are not currently required to provide.
While the final rules do not mandate a particular form of say-on-pay resolution to be voted on by stockholders, unlike the proposed rules they do clarify that the resolution must include language to the effect that the vote is to "approve the compensation of the [company's] named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K," and include an example that would satisfy the requirements of the rule.
The final rules also require companies to provide their stockholders with a separate advisory vote, at least once every six calendar years, as to whether the say-on-pay vote should occur every year, once every two years, or once every three years (known as say- on-frequency). This vote will also be non-binding, meaning the company could choose to provide the say-on-pay vote on a different schedule than that chosen by stockholders. If a company implements the frequency schedule approved by a majority (as opposed to the proposed plurality standard) of the votes cast in the most recent frequency vote, however, then it will be able to exclude from its proxy statements any stockholder proposal relating to say-on-pay or say-on-frequency. The final rules' majority approval requirement may make taking advantage of this provision more difficult than under the proposed plurality standard, however, since it is possible that none of the three frequency choices will receive a majority vote.
The final rules include a two-year exemption for smaller reporting companies. Smaller reporting companies will not have to provide the say-on-pay and say-on-frequency votes until their first annual or other meeting occurring on or after January 21, 2013. All other companies are required to provide these votes at their first such meeting occurring on or after January 21, 2011.
Companies (including companies providing the say-on-pay vote as a result of their participation in the Troubled Asset Relief Program) are also required to discuss in their CD&A whether and how the results of the most recent stockholder advisory vote (and, if material, earlier votes) have been taken into consideration in their compensation policies and decisions. Smaller reporting companies, who are not required to include a CD&A, need provide this disclosure only if, consistent with current disclosure rules, its consideration of the say-on-pay votes is material to an understanding of any of the information presented in the summary compensation table.
The SEC also, as proposed, amended its proxy rules to permit the proxy card to include the required choices of one, two or three years, or abstain, for the say-on-frequency vote.
The SEC did not adopt its proposed amendments to Forms 10-Q and 10-K to require disclosure of a company's decision at to how often it will hold the say-on-pay vote following a say-on-frequency vote. Instead, companies will be required to report this information on Form 8-K.
The final rules also require a non-binding, advisory stockholder vote on compensation to be paid to a company's named executive officers (and the named executive officers of the acquiring company, if applicable) in connection with an acquisition, merger, consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the company's assets (known as say-on-golden parachutes). Companies will be required to provide tabular and narrative disclosure as to any such compensation (and related agreements or arrangements) to be paid by either party to the transaction to its named executive officers as well as the named executive officers of the other party. Similar disclosure will also be required in connection with tender offers and issuer going private transactions.
Finally, the final rules require companies to disclose in their proxy statements that they are providing the say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden parachute votes as required by the applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the general effect of these votes, such as whether they are non-binding, as well as the current frequency of say-on-pay votes and when the next such vote will occur.

I'm sorry to hear your mechanic died.
While it is true that bad grounds can cause problems with various electrical components in your car, if you have all those lights on at once, I'd, first, make sure your battery is in good condition and the cable ends are tight. Don't guess. If you are not sure of the battery condition, have it tested.
The next thing you need to do is find out what fault codes have been set by the modules which are turning on those warning lights.
Next, you need to obtain the fault codes which are set in the electronic brake and traction control module and in the ECM. See: Corvette Action Center Knowledgebase :: 1997 - 2000: Diagnostic Trouble Codes
...for a way to read the codes on a C5.
The location of the car's many chassis grounds are listed in the Factory Service Manual. if you are considering solving the car's ECBTM and ECM faults yourself, you need to buy those books.

The Windsor Spitfires are getting involved in promoting colorectal cancer screening this month.
Teaming up with the Erie St. Clair Regional Cancer Program in Ontario, pharmacists will be at Spitfire games on March 4, 7, and 11 to provide information and free take-home colorectal cancer screening kits.
Jumbotron messages from Spits General Manager Warren Rychel will encourage fans to "get checked".
Funds for local cancer programs will be raised during a silent auction for one of the special colon check jerseys that the team will be wearing during Colon Cancer Awareness Month.
Dr. John Day from the Erie St. Clair Regional Cancer Program told the Memorial Cup champions,
It's a tough topic. People are shy talking about their bottoms. You're young and fit and feel invincible. But colon cancer is a disease that can hit you as you get older.… About 3,300 people a year die of colon cancer in Ontario. We want you to bring the message to your fans. Get screened and get screened early.
Dr. Day also urged the players to eat a healthy diet, drink alcohol only in moderation, and avoid all nicotine products including chewing tobacco.

D.C. Honors Veterans and Tuskegee Airmen
Barrington M. Salmon | 11/13/2013, 3 p.m.
In the hour or so before a Monday morning wreath-laying ceremony at the African American Civil War Memorial in Northwest, the curious and the appreciative engaged four Tuskegee Airmen in conversation.
The men, resplendent in bright red jackets and adorned with military medals, patches and insignias, bathed in the adulation. The quartet – William Fauntroy, Jr., Ivan Ware, Edward Talbot and William L. Anderson – were guests of honor of Museum Director Frank Smith on the day that the nation paused to thank and show their indebtedness to military veterans.
At a ceremony following the laying of the wreath, well over 100 people trooped across the street to the Civil War Museum where Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D) presented the Congressional Medal of Honor to two of the original Tuskegee Airmen.
"The Tuskegee Airmen paved the way. They integrated the military five years before President Truman signed the executive order ending segregation," said Norton at the Nov. 11 ceremony. "They are marked by their bravery, hard work and persistence. When they came back from the Army, they insisted that they be treated like other officers. They protested, some were punished, others were discharged."
"But they demanded their rights and because they stood up, others benefitted."
The Tuskegee Airmen, immortalized in the movie Red Tails and the TV movie Tuskegee Airmen, were considered the elite of the U.S. Army Air Corps and overcame racism and discrimination and fought with distinction in World War II. As a part of the Tuskegee Experiment, pilots from the 332nd Fighter groups and other units were trained to fly at the Tuskegee Airfield in Tuskegee, Ala. Training began in 1941.
"D.C. veterans are a group apart and the Tuskegee Airmen stand apart because they succeeded where others were not allowed to try," Norton, 76, said. "I have to give it to the Army Air Corps. They recruited men with a combination of intellectual and physical skills necessary to take on this mission. We know that from the records of protecting bombers, we know that from the calls for protection because of their extraordinary record of protecting bombers."
"We salute the Tuskegee Airmen but the D.C. Tuskegee Airmen are special. They went to war defending a democracy they didn't know. The Tuskegee Airmen were called from a larger group of African Americans to join the Air Corps. These were the best and the brightest and numbered 16,000, including support and administrative staff."
Segregation and racism were among the challenges black people faced in the early part of the 20th century. African Americans were discriminated against in the military, jobs, housing and education. Throughout World War II, black soldiers were not allowed to be a part of any white units because they were regarded as unfit for combat and were pushed into support positions.
Anderson, 88 and a D.C. resident born in Jacksonville, Fla., spoke of the pride he feels having served.
"As I stand here today, I feel deeply blessed and honored to receive this medal," he said. "Segregation was the law of the land and African Americans were regarded as second-class citizens. The fight for equality goes back but despite its shortcomings, the U.S. is still the greatest country in the world."

My Top 10 Vegan Restaurants of 2014: a road trip in meals!Tuesday, December 23rd, 2014
Goji, Goodramgate, York
Fully vegan? Nope, this is a veggie place with vegan options. But you can tell that they really care about veganism and vegans aren't just an afterthought.
Specialism? They don't have one — literally everything is brilliant. However, I'm going to go ahead and give them extra extra brownie points for having creative vegan breakfasts. A vegan breakfast (let alone a good vegan breakfast) is a rare thing.
Prices? Very reasonable.
Do I need to book? If you're in York for only a short time and want to make sure you get to eat here, then yes. I have never booked but it's always been super busy when I've been, and I've always been very lucky to arrive just as a table has come free.
Easy to find? Yes, it's near the back of the Minster.
Accessible? Not really. The ground floor is up a step and then inside, the first floor dining area and loos are only accessed via a tiny, winding staircase. That's York and it's tall, narrow, listed buildings for you.
Best bit? It's all great: lovely friendly staff (of course, it's Yorkshire!), great meals at any time of day, great cake, nice space… it's a magical place.
They could improve: this is a note for management. Hire more staff. Your waitstaff are all lovely but they always seem super frazzled! One more body could make all the difference!
The 78, Kelvinhaugh Street, Glasgow
Fully vegan? Yep!
Specialism? Burgers. This is very much a burger place. But they're good burgers, and the specials change daily. That beast up there ^ is a mushroom and tarragon burger and OMG it was good.
Prices? Reasonable.
Do I need to book? I doubt it — they have loads of seats. Maybe on a weekend night for dinner as I can imagine it would get busy then.
Easy to find? Honestly? No. Lovely Boyfriend and I wandered around a bit in the rain before eventually getting there… and it's a fairly long way from either a station or a Subway. There are buses along Argyll Street, though.
Accessible? Fully! Hooray!
Best bit? It's a cool space: light and bright with lots of windows, but also somehow cozy. Great Glaswegian hospitality… oh, and they have vegan desserts, too, like chocolate brownie and sticky toffee pudding!
They could improve: nowt! Well done, The 78!
Stereo, Renfield Lane, Glasgow
Fully vegan? Yep!
Specialism? Piles and piles and piles of food. Also their chips are just a little big magical.
Prices? Reasonable.
Do I need to book? Possibly. I tend to go early evening and usually manage to get a seat, but it starts filling up rapidly after 6pm.
Easy to find? Ish. It's right in the middle of Glasgow, literally a two-minute walk from Central Station. However, it's also in an alleyway, and if you approach from a certain angle it looks perpetually closed. Give the doors a shove, though… they're open!
Accessible? Nope, the alleyway is kinda dark and cobbled and narrow, and the restaurant itself is up a ton of steps. They do have unisex bathrooms though, which I appreciate!
Best bit? Eating in this place makes you feel super cool and with it, as you can throw a stone in any direction in this place and hit an art student, poet, or beardy hipster man in a lumberjack shirt. Personally, I like this. It's good people watching. Plus, Stereo also has a venue downstairs which hosts painfully hip nights — the last thing I went to there was a circus-themed cabaret with loads of nudity (for some reason, they booked me to read poems there. I'll admit, I was scared).
They could improve: the menu, maybe… it's a tad limited. I go only occasionally. I'd appreciate some new options!
Norman's Coach & Horses, off Greek Street, Soho, London
Fully vegan? Nope, this place is veggie and vegan. But like Goji above, veganism is very much part of the ethos and there are loads of vegan options.
Specialism? Their "tofush" and chips (pictured in the second photo above). It's a tofu fish supper, and really very good.
Prices? Bordering on cheap, for London!
Do I need to book? We went on a Sunday at 1pm (classic Sunday lunch time), and there were free tables, so probably not.
Easy to find? Yep, it's in the middle of Soho and near to various tube stations. We walked there from the South Bank and found it fine.
Accessible? Yes, although the bathrooms are not.
Best bit? I had the vegan Sunday roast, which is what that stuffed aubergine thing is.
They could improve: the staff. Sorry! I hate slagging people who work difficult jobs. But… smile and be nice, please! I know it's London, but come on. You can do it.
Goji (again), see above.
I already praised these guys to the sky at breakfast, I know… but I just had to show you their vegan lentil loaf Sunday roast. It was perfect, folks. Get thee to York, already!
Veggie Garden, Carrer des Angels, Barcelona
Fully vegan? Yes!
Specialism? Juices. They have literally hundreds of amazing juice, smoothie and shake options on the menu. Worth going there for this alone.
Prices? Cheap.
Do I need to book? Maybe. It does get busy around typical lunch/local dinner hours. I've now been three times — booked the first time and then chanced it the last two. If you're eating at UK dinner time (e.g. before 8pm) though, you're likely to be OK.
Easy to find? Yes. It's near Liceu Metro, too, which is one of the major stations.
Accessible? Not really. Most of the seats are upstairs, but in good weather you can eat on the terrace outside. The bathrooms are very cramped.
Best bit? It's one of those places where you can order anything and know that it's going to be amazing. Even the guacamole is a cut above the usual. The staff are lovely, too, and are happy to put up with terrible Spanglish from the likes of me. Oh, and the walls are covered in amazing, brightly coloured murals!
They could improve: the loos are a bit grim. Nothing utterly gross, but you know, loo roll on the floor, no hand towels, stuff like that. Sorry, Veggie Garden!
El Piano, Grape Lane, York
Fully vegan? Yes, AND gluten free, too!
Specialism? Being FOOD SAINTS. Not only is everything vegan, cruelty free and gluten free, they also really value keeping their meals locally-sourced. Every dish has a circle next to it with a number inside, telling you what percentage of that meal was sourced within ten miles of the restaurant. Most of the dishes are 70% local or more.
Prices? Cheap. The portions are huge. You get so much bang for your buck here.
Do I need to book? YES. A thousand times yes. York folks are not stupid: they know this is the best place to eat in the entire county! It's always been packed whenever I've been and I have always needed to book.
Easy to find? Yep, it's a stone's throw from the Minster.
Accessible? The ground floor is, yes. The loos, maybe not.
Best bit? Definitely the two sharing platters (one is pictured above). Their mains are also great… but the sharing platters give you chance to taste the whole range of amazing food they make.
They could improve: the desserts. I was legit shocked that a place that does such utterly amazing savoury food could turn out such average desserts! Perhaps my expectations were too high. But they do get brownie points for having desserts at all.
Bonsai, Broughton St & Richmond St, Edinburgh
Fully vegan? Nope. This is actually your regular restaurant with plenty of meat and fish on the menu… they just have a lot of veggie things that also, happily, happen to be vegan!
Specialism? Sushi.
Prices? Reasonable.
Do I need to book? Only if you're dining with a party of more than four, I'd say.
Easy to find? Yep.
Accessible? The Broughton Street one probably is, yes. I'll hold up my hands and say I have never been to the Richmond Street one!
Best bit? The food is really lovely… it's just the right amount of experimental, with cool specials like butternut squash maki, or oyster mushroom tempura. The service is also very fast and efficient, and the waitstaff are all lovely.
They could improve: more vegan specials on the specials board, more often! Most times I go all the specials are fish-adjacent.
Itadaki Zen, King's Cross Road, London
(fun fact: they also have a seasonal outpost in, of all places, Oban!)
Fully vegan? Yes. In fact, this is the first all-vegan Japanese restaurant in the whole of Europe!
Specialism? Flavour-balancing. Seriously, the chefs here are magicians. Everything you eat tastes clean, crisp, never too salty or spicy or plain. The menu goes into detail about how they try to waste nothing and ask that diners do the same — they discourage the addition of soy sauce or wasabi to their sushi, because it doesn't need it. And it really doesn't! Every mouthful is perfect.
Prices? Very reasonable, especially for London, especially for food so good.
Do I need to book? Yes, always. The place is always full to the top, sometimes with a queue out the door.
Easy to find? Yes. Just remember it's on King's Cross Road, not Gray's Inn Road. The two roads look very alike, as Lovely Boyfriend and I discover every time we go here!
Accessible? No, and it's very small, too! Prepare to get a bit cozy with your fellow diners!
Best bit? The four-course set meals (we tried the Itadaki course and the Tempura course). You get an amazing starter, then sushi, then a bento box-ed main, then dessert, all for a very reasonable price, and it's literally the perfect size for a meal. You leave feeling the most pleasant kind of full!
They could improve: the loos. Nothing terrible, but a bit scruffy.
The Chocolate Tree, Bruntsfield Place, Edinburgh
Fully vegan? No, but lots and lots of tasty vegan options. They value their vegan customers and some of the staff are vegan!
Specialism? They're probably the only legitimate chocolatier (a company that makes their 100% of their chocolate themselves, from the bean) in the UK. Most companies who call themselves 'chocolatiers' are actually 'confiseurs.' In other words: these guys are serious chocolate specialists.
Prices? Very reasonable.
Do I need to book? Yes. The cafe recently cleared out some tables to make space for merch instead, so there are only about ten seats in the whole place. Booking is basically essential. However, if you can't get a table you can always take your chocolate goodies to a bench on the nearby Bruntsfield Links — a favourite pasttime of mine!
Easy to find? Yes. It's on tons of bus routes or you can take a nice stroll through the Meadows and then the Links to get there.
Accessible? Yes.
Best bit? Their hot chocolate drinks. That chocolate cake above is definitely lush, but it's also impossible to finish a whole piece in one sitting and then walk away! The hot chocolates, however, come in lots of different flavours and levels of intensity and all of them can be made with soy milk. Yay! Oh, also, on a hot day not much beats their sorbet counter! Vegan chocolate sorbet, be mine.
They could improve: I'll admit, I liked it better when there were more tables. Sigh.
RAW at La Suite West, Inverness Terrace, Kensington, London
Fully vegan? No, veggie — but with a big emphasis on vegan, dairy free and raw.
Specialism? Their all-vegan-all-the-time afternoon tea. I never dared to dream of such a thing existing!
Prices? OK, you knew this one was going to be pricey, right? Afternoon tea for two will set you back almost £50. But actually, as afternoon teas go, that isn't bad — it compares favourably to the famous Balmoral one. And afternoon tea is a big meal… we left barely able to walk and we didn't even finish everything!
Do I need to book? Nope. We did, but then the place was pretty quiet.
Easy to find? Yes — it's a stone's throw from Kensington Gardens and literally thirty seconds' walk from the Bayswater tube.
Accessible? Fully!
Best bit? The coconut cream that came with the scones. I know that's mega-specific, but it was that good.
They could improve: by turning the lights up a little! The mood lighting — not only in the restaurant, but also in the corridors when you're trying to find the loo — is er, a little too moody! I like to be able to see the cake I am eating!

Did Brett Favre attempt to seduce a pretty lady named Jenn Sterger through Myspace and text messages while he was with the New York Jets?
The evidence collected so far by Deadspin.com is pretty damning and both the Jets and Favre deny any knowledge of the alleged contact.
The contact includes an ALLEGED picture of Brett Favre's… um… alternate throwing arm, so to speak. No, not posting it here, but we're sure you can find it…
According to reports, Favre first contacted Sterger, who worked for the Jets on gamedays in some sort of capacity, through Myspace and then had a Jets PR representative slip Sterger Favre's number.
Farve also contacted the beauty through text messages and even left a voice message on her phone (good move, Tiger.)
Take a look at what's been collected so far…
And, yes, there's a possibility that the person communicating with Jenn was not actually Brett Favre, but rather someone trying very hard to appear to be him. But let's look at the evidence: For an individual to put forth the effort to 1.) acquire a cellphone with a Mississippi area code; 2.) take some voice lessons; and 3.) implicate Jets handlers and perhaps other people, all within a very short period of time and for no discernible reason other than to mess with Sterger, well, that's some very aggressive role-playing. Via Deadspin
The thing is, as wishy washy as Favre has been in the last few years with his retirement, this sort of conduct wouldn't seem totally out of line.
He knows that everyone loves him. Everyone follows his every move. He can basically do whatever he wants and he still gets respect.
Since these messages apparently took place while Favre was with the Jets, we can't exactly ask him why he didn't take a look at Tiger Woods' troubles and say, "Yeah, I'm not doing that."
However, Favre's wife had a highly publicized bought with cancer a few years ago and I don't care who you are, if you're going to cheat on a wife who went through that you're a jerk.
I'm sure more will come in the next few days or weeks, but so far, everyone is mum, even Sterger, who has yet to come forward publicly to say everything that has been collected is true.

- Title
- Results of the Federal election of 2007 applied to South Australian state seats
- Author(s)
- Newton-Farrelly, Jenni
- Abstract
- At the Federal election of 24 November 2007, the ALP won the support of the majority of voters across Australia, won a majority of the seats in the House of Representatives and formed government. In South Australia, ALP candidates won 52.4% of the two party preferred vote, and won 6 of the State's 11 House of Representatives seats. ALP sitting Members retained Port Adelaide, Hindmarsh and Adelaide, and ALP candidates won Kingston, Wakefield and Makin. Liberal sitting Members retained Boothby, Sturt, Mayo, Grey and Barker. This paper looks at the 2007 result, but within the geographic areas of the State House of Assembly seats. It also looks at the result of several previous State and Federal elections within those same boundaries, that is, within the current State seats. To do this, it draws on a resource which has been gradually built up by the Parliament Research Library, which is a database of the election results for each booth at each State and Federal election in South Australia since 1993. While Federal and State issues are different, the campaigns are different and the candidates are different, the voters are not. At each election, the same people queue at booths to register their choices. The following tables show how voters in each of the current State seats, have voted at the State and Federal elections since 1993. These figures summarise much larger time series tables which have been compiled within the Parliament Research Library and which are available through the Parliamentary Intranet. The original tables show the results at booth levels; this paper does not go to that level of detail but it does provide some commentary on the results. [Introduction]

Walmart Installs Solar Panels in 60 Additional California Locations

Once the 60 additional Walmart stores receive solar panels, the company's solar portfolio will total over 75 percent of its stores in California
Walmart is taking part in the
adoption of greener technologies
throughout California by installing solar panels on its stores. It announced today that it will install solar panels on 60 more California stores.
"California presents a great opportunity for Walmart to make significant progress toward our sustainability goals by installing solar power on more than 130 store rooftops throughout the state," said Kim Saylors-Laster, Walmart vice president of energy. "Walmart has reduced energy expenses by more than a million dollars through our solar program, allowing us to pass these
savings on to our customers
in the form of everyday low prices."
Walmart has partnered with SolarCity in this endeavor, which is a San Mateo, California-based solar company that will install and maintain the new systems.
Once the 60 additional Walmart stores receive
solar panels
, the company's solar portfolio will total over 75 percent of its stores in California. This will generate up to 70 million kilowatt hours of clean, renewable energy per year, which can power 5,400 homes. This total effort will also provide 20 to 30 percent of each store's electric needs, and avoid the production of more than 21,700 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. This is equivalent to taking 4,100 cars off of the road.
"Walmart's effort to expand and accelerate its solar power initiative program here in California demonstrates their commitment to sustainability," said Mary D. Nichols, Chair of the California Air Resources Board. "These kinds of projects create jobs, reduce costs for businesses by lowering power bills, and
protect the environment
. We appreciate Walmart's leadership and encourage other businesses to follow Walmart's lead."
Walmart's efforts has created more than 500 new full-time jobs since the beginning of this project, and expects to hire "hundreds" more before the end of the year.
"Intel is investing heavily (think gazillions of dollars and bazillions of engineering man hours) in resources to create an Intel host controllers spec in order to speed time to market of the USB 3.0 technology." -- Intel blogger Nick Knupffer

- The area of a regular hexagon is determined by:
If you have a regular n-gon then this shape consists of n isosceles triangles with the radius of the circumscribed circle as legs and the side of the n-gon as base. The half of such an isosceles triangle is a right triangle. Assuming that n and r are known thenI know everything else to solve this but...I need to know:

3rd Annual Father's Day Brunch and Silent AuctionTuesday, June 4th, 2013
3rd Annual Father's Day Brunch and Silent Auction to Honor Men Who Have Championed the Cause for Children
Harvest of Hope and Rev. Dr. DeForest B. Soaries Jr., will host the 2013 Father's Day Brunch and Silent Auction Fundraiser at First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens.
SOMERSET, N.J. – Harvest of Hope Family Services Network, Inc. will host the 3rd Annual Father's Day Brunch and Silent Auction on Sunday, June 16 at 1:00 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens in Somerset, NJ. This event is planned to honor fathers throughout the state of New Jersey.
"Harvest of Hope is excited to have a great team of volunteers planning a very festive Father's Day Brunch; this year's brunch promises to be the best event yet. The team is selecting the best menu items to compliment a decorative afternoon with great entertainment; a celebration for all fathers, families and friends," said Maureen Archibald, executive director of Harvest of Hope Family Services Network, Inc.
Since its inception in 1996, Harvest of Hope Family Services Network, Inc., a faith-based foster care and adoption agency founded by Rev. Dr. DeForest B. Soaries, Jr., has recruited and trained over 435 families to become licensed foster families. During the month of December last year, Harvest of Hope accomplished a significant milestone with the placement of their 1,000th child into those homes; more than 250 foster children were adopted by Harvest of Hope resource families providing a permanent solution for their need of a loving family.
The Father's Day Brunch and Silent Action is an annual celebration and fundraiser organized by Harvest of Hope Family Services Network, Inc., to honor all fathers. This year's event, as in the past, will honor both men who have opened their homes and hearts for children and youth in the New Jersey Foster Care System and fathers who have continued to raise the bar in their homes and communities. The honorees include fathers, foster and adoptive parents as well as community leaders whose dedication and commitment has extended to volunteerism in their communities to provide children and youth with a stable and safe environment to grow in.
"It is important that we take the time to honor all fathers, including our resource fathers who give unconditionally to children," said Rev. Dr. DeForest B. Soaries Jr., founder and CEO of Harvest of Hope Family Services Network, Inc. "We know first-hand at Harvest of Hope, all the implications of not having fathers available to children and so it is important to celebrate those who have also opened their homes and have become segregates to other children," added Dr. Soaries.
This special event has attracted a wide range of audience and special guests who continuously participate in the annual celebration. Previous honorees include, Dr. Randal Pinkett, a foster care parent and the 2005 winner of NBC's hit reality television show The Apprentice, who is an active leader for the Uhlich Children's Advantage Network, a multifaceted social service organization that serves children and youth in the care of the state of Illinois in addition to other at-risk population.
This year's honorees will feature four fathers who have made an impact in their communities and continue to champion the cause for children daily both locally and nationally.
"We are pleased to bring this event once again to the Central Jersey community. It offers a great afternoon for families to sit together and truly appreciate fathers," affirmed Archibald.

Franklin Memorial Park TheftsMonday, June 3rd, 2013
Re: Pastoral Care Message – Franklin Memorial Park Thefts
Dear FBCLG Faith in Action Partners,
It has been brought to our attention that in addition to grieving the loss of their loved ones, some FBCLG members have experienced the theft of bronze vases and other valuable memorials on their grave lots at Franklin Memorial Park in North Brunswick. This is a sad and unfortunate reality, but one that is not unique to this cemetery. This appears to be a growing national problem.
We have discussed this matter with the owner of Franklin Memorial Park and were informed that surveillance cameras were installed, and that North Brunswick Policemen have stepped up their patrolling of the cemetery. Families who have experienced thefts should file a police report with the North Brunswick Police Department. Several arrests have been made and more are underway.
For additional information, please access the Franklin Memorial Park website at: http://www.fmpark.org/

Volume 32, Issue 5, September 2014
In this study, 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) (TIPS) pentacene crystalline growth was enhanced using temperature gradient across the substrate. This method induced a preferential crystal orientation in order to alleviate the intrinsic crystallization anisotropy and control film morphology. The temperature gradient led to a solubility difference along the substrate and drove crystallization from the lower-temperature end to the higher. The approach also enables a methodical investigation of how TIPS pentacene crystal morphology depends on temperature. The resulting TIPS pentacene film exhibited a uniform morphology and high percentage of large areal coverage. X-ray diffraction characterization showed that the film crystallinity was not sacrificed when a temperature gradient is applied. The authors demonstrated that organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) based on TIPS pentacene crystals grown using the temperature-gradient method significantly enhanced average mobility when compared to OTFTs using films grown without the temperature gradient.

Direct growth of a 40 nm InAs thin film on a GaAs/Ge heterostructure by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4892519View Description Hide Description
In this paper, the authors directly grew an InAs thin film (40 nm) by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on GaAs/Ge substrates by using flow-rate modulation epitaxy with an appropriate V/III ratio. The growth of a high-quality InAs thin film with periodic 90° misfit dislocations was related to a uniform monolayer In atom distribution at the InAs/GaAs interface. The In monolayer effectively minimized the difference between surface energy and strain energy, producing a stable interface during material growth. The authors also found that a tightly controlled V/III ratio can improve the quality of the InAs islands on the GaAs/Ge heterostructures, though it is not the key factor in InAs thin-film growth.
Spatial location of the Ec-0.6 eV electron trap in AlGaN/GaN heterojunctions32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4895840View Description Hide Description
Deep trap spectra in AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) structures were studied by capacitance deep level transient spectroscopy. A major trap with an ionization level near Ec-0.6 eV was detected and attributed to states in the GaN buffer close to the AlGaN interface. These states have a signature very similar to the previously reported traps in AlGaN/GaN HEMTs responsible for the device degradation under electric stress.

Atomic layer deposited passivation layers for superlattice photodetectors32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4891164View Description Hide Description
The authors report on the effects of atomic layer deposited Al2O3, TiO2, HfO2, and ZnO layers as a passivation material for type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice midwave infrared photodetectors. Low temperature and plasma free operation with defect free and conformal coating of the atomic layer deposition technique creates an efficient passivation layer. In this study, photodiodes coated with and without passivation layer were compared for their dark current and surface resistivity performances. For Al2O3 coated diodes, the dark current density was improved by more than two orders of magnitude at 77 K under −50 mV bias. As a result, HfO2 and TiO2 passivated diodes are better than reference diodes, but they are not as good as Al2O3 passivated diodes. Low Gibbs free energy of the aluminum oxides helps eliminating conductive native surface oxides in a self cleaning process.
Tunable electrical properties of TaNx thin films grown by ionized physical vapor deposition32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4891108View Description Hide Description
Tantalum nitride (TaNx) amorphous thin films with varying nitrogen content were grown on SiO2/Si using ionized physical vapor deposition. The composition of the films was examined by Rutherford back scattering spectrometry. The carrier density and the resistivity of TaNx films were measured by Hall effect and Van Der Pauw's method. TaNx thin films showed increased electrical resistivity and reduced carrier density as the amount of nitrogen was increased. By controlling the nitrogen content, the carrier density can be tuned within a large range of 1019–1022 cm−3 for 3 and 15 nm thick TaNx films. The metallicity of the films was confirmed using ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy. For 3 nm thick TaNx films, carrier densities of ∼1021 cm−3 were obtained with the N2 flow rate in the range of 10–15 sccm. Such films have potential application in a quantum metal field effect transistor.
Effect of proton irradiation on thermal resistance and breakdown voltage of InAlN/GaN high electron mobility transistors32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4891629View Description Hide Description
InAlN/GaN high electron mobility transistors were irradiated from the front side with 340 keV protons to a dose of 5 × 1013 cm−2. Raman thermography showed that the irradiated devices had higher channel temperatures than unirradiated control devices, but only by ∼10% under typical biasing conditions. Accordingly, the irradiated devices have higher thermal resistance (400 °C/W) compared to reference devices (350 °C/W), based on the slope of the power versus channel temperature line. However, increases of 42% in off-state drain breakdown voltage (V BR) and of >92% in critical voltage (V cri) were observed for the proton irradiated HEMT. This is ascribed to the reduction of the peak electric field at the gate edges by ∼50% through the introduction of negative trap charges created from vacancies generated by the proton irradiation.
High breakdown voltage in AlN/GaN metal–insulator–semiconductor high-electron-mobility transistors32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4891966View Description Hide Description
The breakdown characteristics of AlGaN/GaN based metal–insulator–semiconductor high-electron-mobility transistors (MISHEMTs) using a 10 nm thick AlN gate insulator and passivation layer deposited plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition. The AlN was effective in significantly reducing gate leakage current relative to Schottky gate devices and showed only small decreases in drain current during gate lag measurements. The devices exhibited a strong dependence of gate breakdown voltage on source–drain distance, reaching a value of 2000 V for a source–drain distance of 40 μm limited by the measurement instrument. The specific on-state resistance was 1.3 and 10.9 mΩ cm2 for the devices with the gate–drain distance of 7.5 and 37.5 μm, respectively. The saturation drain current was inversely dependent on source–drain distance and the on–off ratios were in excess of 108 due to the low gate leakage current in the MISHEMTs.
Effect of BCl3 in chlorine-based plasma on etching 4H-SiC for photoconductive semiconductor switch applications32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4892172View Description Hide Description
Inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE) of n-type SiC epitaxial layers grown on 4H-SiC semi-insulating substrates has been investigated using chlorine-based plasma. The etch rate and postetching surface morphology have been studied as functions of the plasma composition, ICP power, RIE power, and process pressure. The authors found that the surface smoothness of the epitaxial layer was increased by introducing BCl3 into Cl2/Ar plasma. An optimized process has been developed yielding etch rates of ∼220 nm/min and very smooth surfaces with root mean square roughness of ∼0.3 nm. The spatial-frequency dependence of the one dimensional power spectral density was interpreted using the surface height function h(x) including a low-frequency range, which exhibits saturation and a high-frequency range, which exhibits scaling properties. Through this etching process, the effects of subcontact doping on 4H-SiC photoconductive semiconductor switch (PCSS) performance were investigated. A PCSS was fabricated using this etching process with a 1 μm heavily doped (1.6 × 1018 cm−3 n-type) epitaxial layer beneath the device contacts and compared with a PCSS fabricated with a subcontact doped layer created through laser enhanced diffusion (∼50 nm depth, 2.0 × 1018 cm−3 n-type). The PCSS with the epitaxial layer demonstrated on average a 30% reduction in minimum on-state resistance, and eliminated cracking of the bulk material when switching currents ≤38 A.
Growth of strained InGaSb quantum wells for p-FET on Si: Defects, interfaces, and electrical properties32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4892797View Description Hide Description
A study of heteroepitaxial molecular beam epitaxy growth of strained p-channel InGaSb quantum well (QW) on lattice mismatched Si (100) using Al(Ga)Sb metamorphic buffers is presented in this paper. The migration enhanced epitaxy (MEE) technique was employed for AlSb nucleation layer (NL) on Si and analyzed using atomic force microscopy and in-situ Auger electron spectroscopy techniques to optimize growth conditions for continuous 2D buffer layers and improve surface quality of subsequent layers. Growth-related defects (threading dislocations, microtwins, and antiphase boundaries) and their effect on surface morphology and electrical properties of the QWs are analyzed with scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscopy and correlated to the NL properties. The baseline data for defect density in the layers and resultant surface morphology are presented. Room temperature p-channel Hall mobility of 660 cm2/V s at 3 × 1011 cm−2 sheet hole concentration is achieved in InGaSb QWs using an optimized 15 monolayer AlSb MEE NL at 300 °C growth temperature.
Unintentionally doped semi-insulating GaN with a low dislocation density grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4892786View Description Hide Description
Unintentionally doped semi-insulating GaN films possessing a low dislocation density are grown via metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy on a sapphire substrate. The obtained electrical resistivity reaches 4.8 × .a8 Ω·cm, and the full width at half maximum of the x-ray diffraction rocking curves of the (002) and (102) planes is as low as 201.6 and 378.0 arcsec, respectively. The GaN films are grown at low pressure (LP) to introduce residual carbon and to compensate background donors. The dislocation density in these samples is significantly reduced by using a low V/III ratio in the initial epitaxial growth stage. It is also found that the resistivity of the LP-grown samples decrease when the residual carbon concentration is excessive, which is attributed to the self-compensation of carbon impurities. Therefore, the carbon concentration of LP-grown GaN should be carefully modulated to maintain its high resistivity.
Effect of barrier thickness on structural, optical, and spectral behaviors of vertically strain coupled InAs/GaAs quantum dot infrared photodetectors32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4894461View Description Hide Description
The optical, electrical, and spectral properties of a strain coupled InAs quantum dot detector with a fixed quaternary capping of InAlGaAs and variable GaAs barrier thickness were investigated along with an equivalent uncoupled structure. Self-assembled quantum dots with a multimodal dot size distribution were achieved owing to vertical strain coupling. Strain and electronic coupling were utilized to improve the optical and electrical performance of the fabricated quantum dot infrared photodetector. The peak spectral response was tuned by varying barrier thickness, and a blue shift (almost 1 μm) was observed by increasing the capping thickness from sample A (90 Å capping) to E (500 Å capping). High responsivity and detectivity (∼1010 cm Hz1/2/W) were observed for all coupled samples as compared to the uncoupled sample. All coupled samples showed high thermal stability in the photoluminescence peak with high-temperature annealing.
Composition and interface analysis of InGaN/GaN multiquantum-wells on GaN substrates using atom probe tomography32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4893976View Description Hide Description
In0.20Ga0.80N/GaN multiquantum wells (MQWs) grown on [0001]-oriented GaN substrates with and without an InGaN buffer layer were characterized using three-dimensional atom probe tomography. In all samples, the upper interfaces of the QWs were slightly more diffuse than the lower interfaces. The buffer layers did not affect the roughness of the interfaces within the quantum well structure, a result attributed to planarization of the surface of the first GaN barrier layer, which had an average root-mean-square roughness of 0.18 nm. The In and Ga distributions within the MQWs followed the expected distributions for a random alloy with no indications of In clustering. High resolution Rutherford backscattering characterizations showed the ability to resolve the MQWs, and the resulting compositions and widths corroborated those determined from the atom probe analyses.
Optical conductivity of Ni1− x Pt x Si monosilicides (0 < x < 0.3) from spectroscopic ellipsometry32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4895111View Description Hide Description
The optical constants of 22 nm thick Ni 1− x Pt x Si (0 < x < 0.3) monosilicide films were measured using spectroscopic ellipsometry, in the spectral range from 0.6 to 6.6 eV at room temperature. Ni 1− x Pt x films sputtered on clean Si were annealed at 500 °C for 30 s to form nickel platinum monosilicides. The correct silicide thickness was found by minimizing Si substrate artifacts in the optical constants of Ni 1− x Pt x Si determined from ellipsometric data analysis. Two interband transitions at 1.8 and 4.5 eV were observed (rather than three peaks in PtSi). The absorption peak at 4.5 eV broadens with increasing Pt content in the monosilicide.
Thin electron beam defined hydrogen silsesquioxane spacers for vertical nanowire transistors32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4895112View Description Hide Description
A method to fabricate inorganic vertical spacer layers with well-controlled thickness down to 40 nm using electron beam exposure is demonstrated. These spacers are suitable in vertical nanowire transistor configuration. As spacer material, the authors use hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ), a material with low permittivity and high durability. They show that the resulting HSQ thickness can be controlled by electron dose used and it also depend on the initial thickness of the HSQ layer. To achieve good reproducibility, the authors found it necessary to fully submerge the nanowires beneath the HSQ layer initially and that the thickness of HSQ before exposure needs to be determined. Finally, they introduce these steps in an existing transistor process and demonstrate vertical nanowire transistors with high performance.
Structural defects responsible for excessive leakage current in Schottky diodes prepared on undoped n-GaN films grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4895658View Description Hide Description
Schottky diodes fabricated on undoped n-GaN films grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy showed more than two orders of magnitude higher reverse current if the films contained open core defects. The open core defects were revealed by scanning electron microscope observation in secondary electrons, microcathodoluminescence (MCL), and electron beam induced current (EBIC) modes. Plan-view EBIC imaging showed that such films contained a relatively high density of large (∼10 μm in diameter) dark defects that were absent in good films with low leakage current. In plan-view scanning electron microscope images, pits with the density similar to the density of dark defects were observed. Cross-sectional MCL observation showed that the pits terminated the vertical micropipes starting near the interface with the substrate. Some of the micropipes closed approximately halfway through the grown thickness. The regions of micropipes, either closed or not, showed a higher intensity of bandedge and defect MCL bands. Possible reasons for the formation of such structures are discussed.
Simple colloidal lithography method to fabricate large-area moth-eye antireflective structures on Si, Ge, and GaAs for IR applications32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4895966View Description Hide Description
A two-step colloidal lithography process (Langmuir–Blodgett dip coating + reactive ion etching) was developed to fabricate single and double-sided moth-eye structures in Si, Ge, and GaAs for antireflection applications in the IR. Large increases in transmittance were obtained in all three material platforms (up to 97% single-side and 91% absolute transmittance) over the λ = 4−20+ μm region. Effective medium theory and the transfer matrix method were used to predict IR optical response of moth-eye substrates as well as investigate the effect of protuberance shape on antireflectance behavior. Overall, it is demonstrated that colloidal lithography and etching provide an easy and generic way to synthesize moth-eyes in different IR material platforms.

Tunable daughter molds from a single Si master grating mold32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4892063View Description Hide Description
After the cost of ownership of tool, the next significant cost involved in nanoimprint lithography is that of mold fabrication. The cost of mold fabrication is proportional to the area of pattern and follows an inverse relationship with the pattern resolution. In this work, the authors demonstrate proof-of-concept fabrication of Si and SiO2 grating molds of variable feature sizes, spacings, densities, and aspect ratios that can be generated from a single Si master mold of 2 μm line and space features. This process utilizes "SiO2 resin," which can be imprinted via in situ thermal free radical polymerization. Heat-treatment of the patterned resin resulted in loss of organics, formation of SiOx and gave rise to known feature size reduction (∼65%). After the pattern transfer using SiOx as the etch mask, a Si daughter mold containing 0.7 μm wide gratings with 3.3 μm spacing was generated. The process of imprinting and heat-treatment was repeated using the daughter mold, which regenerated a mold that approximates the master mold feature profile. Our technique demonstrates that submicron-sized features can be achieved from Si molds containing micron-sized features and vice versa. Such flexibility may lead to substantial reduction in the cost of mold fabrication.

Optical system for a multiple-beam scanning electron microscope32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4891961View Description Hide Description
A novel optical system for a multiple-beam scanning electron microscope (SEM) is proposed. In the case of multiple-beam SEM, multiple secondary-electron beams passing through the column are inherently blurred because of the large energy spread and broad angular distribution of secondary electrons. To avoid cross-talk between the multiple secondary-electron beams, the optical system is designed such that it is divided into two independent parts: one for primary-beam illumination and one for secondary-electron detection. As the key components for the secondary-electron detection, a scan-cancelling deflector, and accelerating electric field were applied. To demonstrate the proposed optical system, a prototype column with four beams was developed. This column enables four SEM images to be separately but simultaneously acquired with more than 99% of the generated secondary electrons. This result demonstrates that high-speed imaging with the proposed multiple-beam SEM is possible in the near future.
Development of gasbag-assisted ultraviolet-based imprinting process for replication of microstructures onto cylindrical surface32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4891920View Description Hide Description
In the conventional imprinting process, the substrate and the stamp are brought into contact and compressed directly by the plate and rigid mold. However, replicating microstructures onto a nonplanar surface is difficult due to the limited contact area and nonuniform pressure. In this study, a gasbag-assisted UV imprinting process and a flexible polydimethylsiloxane mold are employed to replicate microstructures onto a cylindrical surface, using gas to enhance the closeness of contact and uniformity of pressure during imprinting. A gas-assisted UV-based imprinting facility, which contains a gasbag, air pressure system, motor driving system, and exposure system, is designed and implemented. V-cut microstructures are imprinted on the inner surface of the cylindrical PMMA substrate. The optical performance and brightness enhancement are then verified.
Dynamic control of local field emission current from carbon nanowalls32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4893540View Description Hide Description
The authors report on a systematic study of modulation of the field emission current from carbon nanowalls using a sharp probe as the anode in an ultrahigh vacuum system. Modulation of the local emission current was achieved by either varying the anode–cathode distance (d) with the aid of an AC magnetic field or superimposing a small AC bias on a DC bias during the field emission measurement. Current modulation ratio of over two orders of magnitude was achieved with the modulation becoming more efficient at a smaller d. The experimental results are discussed using the Fowler–Nordheim theory in combination with a simple cantilever model to account for the modulation effect. The experimental results demonstrated good static stability and dynamic controllability of local field emission current from the carbon nanowalls.
Light extraction enhancement in GaN-based vertical light-emitting diodes with hemispherical bumps32(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4893437View Description Hide Description
Ion beam etching technology was applied to the surfaces of GaN-based vertical light-emitting diodes (V-LEDs). The ability to control morphology using this technology resulted in very uniform, hexagonal, closely packed hemispherical bumps on the n-type GaN layer. The textured V-LEDs showed a remarkable increase (130%) in light output power compared to the original, and no electrical deterioration was noted. This study demonstrates that ion beam etching is an effective approach for fabricating hemispherical bumps to achieve increased light extraction efficiency in GaN-based V-LEDs, and potentially other optical devices.

Why Veganism Is Not a 'Personal Choice'
Posted April 6, 2011 by Rachelle Owen
When gathering petitions, leafleting, or just trying to eat lunch, how many times have you heard these things?
"Why are you TELLING people what to do?!"
"It's my personal choice to eat meat!"
"Well, you're entitled to your opinion …"
If you're like me, it's too many to count. You can give the best spiel about veganism to someone with ears wide open, and they can dismiss everything you say with "Well, it's my right to eat meat!" and although lame, this response can throw even the most seasoned activist off. Let's clear it up, shall we?
Veganism is not a personal choice—no more than it's a personal choice to beat children, rape women, or hate people of another race or sexuality. Once your "choices" infringe on someone else's freedom from suffering, it's not your choice anymore. And as we know, the "choice" to eat meat (which, mind you, is never really given to kids and in some cases, strongly forced), affects millions of birds, fish, cows, pigs, and other animals every single year in the most cruel ways.
It's no one's "right" to mutilate, torture, and slaughter animals for products no one needs. Can you really watch this video with an open mind and defend it as our "right"?
The horrors of factory farming, animal testing, circuses, and on fur farms isn't our opinion. It's a fact. PETA and countless other animal advocacy groups have exposed factory farm and slaughterhouse workers stomping on and kicking chickens, ripping their heads off, ramming canes into the vaginas of mother pigs, viciously beating young calves, grinding up baby chickens alive, and more. There's no need for "opinions" here, it's all fact.
We're not telling anyone what to do. But we hope that people can step back, realize the truth, and start making informed decisions based on fact, and not hunger pains. Just like no one is forcing you to eat a steak, we're not shoving a veggie burger down your throat, but we do want you to know the truth that companies like McDonald's, Hormel, and others aren't going to show you. It's only disturbing because it's true.
What do you think?

Omg, this is exactly what I a have been saying to my mother, before I even read this!
It's so annoying when people say "I respect you, so respect me." The animals have no say in this…
And another one people say a lot is, Well everyone does it, everyone eats meat. But "every-one" used to be racist against black people, and the african-american or "colored" people used to be confined too, and treated evilly.

I'm a vegan and dont agree with the first bolded statement.
I wouldn't compare eating meat to any of those things because eating meat is learnt. For example, we are given animals products as an infant/toddler/child/etc. (ie. chocolate milk, jarred baby food, etc) by our parents (unless you were raised vegan or vegetarian). When we were little we relied on our parents to raise us. This is how people were raised and it's majority (unfortunatly us vegans are the minority)making eating meat "socially acceptable." Yes, eating meat is wrong and it is very cruel, but you cannot compare that to rapists and individuals who beat their children.

You are so right and I agree with so many of the comments. I go vegetarian next month (don't have money to buy food until then)and my dad keeps telling me that peta is *FAKED* and that most farms don't do that. The only reason my mom is going vegetarian (and not even completely) is because its supposed to help her disability (which I doubt it will). But I am so glad I have my friends wo are vegetarian to keep me strong 🙂 and that there are other people who know all of this is true!

This article is right on point. And I no longer dine out with meat eaters, I can't stand viewing a slab of meat in close proximity to my vegan meal and also the ensuing arguments that sometimes results. There is no justification whatsoever for eating meat. Yes, the cavemen ate meat but what type of longevity did they possess or dietary choices. We have so many flesh free dishes and so many diversified choices I can't under stand why anyone in their right mind would eat meat, it makes me very depressed and there is really no solution.

Awesome Points. People need to open their minds up more!

The first one" Why are you telling people what to do" is always my case! I lost too many friends, because I EXPLAINED to them why I don't eat animals!
I think it really bugged them to see that I have this great will power and they are this great bunch of losers who are too lazy to think again about what is in their plate. So they thought it's easier to just get away from me.
If I just knew this stuff then…

Yes, I agree people should get educated and CARE about where meat actually comes from, but they won't if vegans and vegetarians will call meat eaters stupid, immoral, small minded etc. We have to understand one, people won't listen and agree if they've been called small minded by vegans. You as well can't tell them that they HAVE to do something, most of them will do the opposite just in spite. And for those for who doesn't work showing shocking videos of suffering animals (that did it to me), the best way how to make them rethink is telling how being vegetarian/vegan is actually good for themselves.

So glad you posted this! I don't know how many times I've gotten "stop shoving your opinions on people!" even though I would be explaining to people why I'm Vegan. Honestly though, the worst thing anyone has ever said to me, reguarding my Veganism, is: "I feel bad for you. You're gonna get so sick when you get older". Truth is, and you can put this on your blog, it's not just being Vegan, is ANY diet one can follow and still needs to get the proper nutrients. Still, Vegan/Vegetarian diet's the healthiest.

I only recently went vegetarian (& going strong!) and I'm already getting criticized for it. It is ridiculous to hear what people have to say and how wrong they really are! Thanks for posting this because this has been how I've felt for the past 2 weeks when people think I'm crazy and my beliefs are stupid. I was in a humanities class this Monday where we were talking about whether or not morality requires vegetarianism. Everyone in the class seemed to think they were doing no harm by eating meat and had all their edscuses until we watched a PETA video. I had never been more proud of myself to be one of the few vegetarians in the room and guilt free. 🙂

It's SO true. It's insane how many people just DON'T care. I've never felt so depressed, I swear.
I mean, it does NOT matter that this is happening. Yes, people eat meat. Yes men rape women. NO, IT'S NOT OKAY. I mean, just because things happen it doesn't mean it's ok for them to happen! Agh! Ramble that probably makes no sense at all, but I had this discussion with these awful lady and I felt like impaling her.

County Coordinator Fred Moody, Levy County's top executive, will be retiring before the end of the year. Moody has made no secret of his desire to spend more time with his wife, Ann, who retired from the county clerk's office last year and to spend time with family.
He has been planning his retirement for several years and earlier this year indicated he would be leaving as soon as the "new" board is seated.
Williston Mayor R. Gerald Hethcoat strives to be proactive rather than reactive and took quick steps Tuesday to ensure his city's residents would be protected by declaring a state of emergency for Williston as Hurricane Matthew swiped a path toward Florida.
Hethcoat told the city council that as soon as Florida Gov. Rick Scott made the same declaration, he had a document drafted doing the same.

for real theta.
e^(3+i)=e^3 e^(i) = e^3 [cos(1) + i sin(1)] = e^3 cos(1) + i e^3 sin(1).
(Note trig function are in radians)
e is a real number a bit like pi, and e ~= 2.718282. Like pi it is important2
Im feeling lost when dealing with e. I don't know what im doing, I don't know what it is and where it comes from. All i know is that is got something to do with exponetial growth.
in mathematics because it has special properties, one of which is that:
